A 53-year-old man was arrested after firing shots and complaining about the amount of minorities working in the area. Pinal County Sheriff deputies say they responded to the area of Marigold Lane and Primrose on Monday around 11:50 a.m. Callers reported hearing shots fired in the Magma Ranch housing development. A deputy found Danny davis, who matched the suspect's description, driving in his car. Davis allegedly pointed a rifle out the passenger side window and fired a shot toward the deputy's patrol car. Nearby deputies heard the shot, stopped Davis' vehicle and took him into custody. According to deputies, Davis showed obvious signs of being drunk. Davis allegedly told deputies that he was angry about the minorities working in the area. According to deputies, Davis went into a framed house, confronted some construction workers and then fired a shot at them. No one was injured during the shootings. Investigators are continuing to investigate if the crimes were racially motivated. Davis was booked into the Pinal County Detention Center on one count of Attempted First Degree Murder and one count of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.

I really LOVE habaneros. They have such an amazing, fruity flavor that is so bright and wonderful! I know they are very hot, so if hot food bothers you, please skip this. Or use a red bell pepper and just two seeded habaneros. (The result won't be the same, but it will still be delicious!)
If you've been reading the blog and Following my Facebook, you know that The Boyfriend and I have been a bit obsessed with creating hot sauces.
Hello, My name is Melody and I'm am addicted to Hot Food!
I really can't get enough, so I've been eating an obscene amount of Sriracha in my food. Now don't get me wrong, Sriracha is fabulous, BUT, it made my food too salty, so we decided to attempt to create a HOTTER, less salty version. We have made two attempts so far, with amazing results... although honestly, the sauces don't quite taste like Sriracha... but I am getting ahead myself. That will be another post all together and when we finally DO create the hotter, less salty Sriracha, we will share the recipe here! ... one more thing and then I'll get back to the Habanero Sauce!.. in our attempts, we wanted to add some brightness to the sauce, so we juiced Thai Bird Chilies.. and we loved the juice so much, we created another sauce with it! Here's a sneak peak of our most favorite one yet! . It's beautiful, clean, crisp, hot and just all around YUMMY! .. but first, look at the gorgeous Thai Bird Chili Juice:
Sooo much better than Tobasco!
OK...OK....OK... I totally got sidetracked and distracted. Back to the Habanero Sauce! One thing that I love about The Boyfriend is that he is teaching me to have some restraint when it comes to cooking. I season and add spices like crazy, which I know is a GREAT thing for many of my recipes, but sometimes, when you are working with amazing product like ummm.. Chili Peppers, it is great to let them be the star of the show. This habanero sauce relies on ONE spice; thyme. I used dried French Thyme from Penzy's. Make sure you use a good quality dried thyme. I find it makes a HUGE difference. Do not use thyme powder.
Thyme Infused Habanero Sauce
- 20 habaneros, stems cut off OR 1 small red bell pepper and 2 habaneros with the seeds and stems removed if you do not want a super hot sauce
- 1 small onion
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon best quality dried thyme
- Blend everything in a food processor; bring to a boil in a saucepan for 30 seconds.
- Cool and pour into glass jars for storage.
Tips: Wear gloves while preparing the habaneros. You can de-seed and de-stem the habaneros if you want less heat.
Stay tuned to see how I used this sauce!
How would you use this sauce?
Here are some more spicy sauce recipes:

Tucker Cipriano stood silently with his head down as attorneys and the court discussed his case. He's accused of killing his own father, pummeling Robert Cipriano with a baseball bat, beating his mother, Rose, and his brother, Sal, nearly to death.His attorney has asked for a forensic exam to determine if he's competent to stand trial. So far, he's been seen three times by a psychiatrist. The results should be coming in the next two to three weeks."My main concern is was Tucker psychotic at the time of this incident?" said attorney Mitchell Ribitwer.Cipriano allegedly attacked his family while high on K2."Based on our research is that he very well could've been psychotic at the time of this incident because of the K2 and other abuses with regard to substances," Ribitwer explained.He says his client is glad to hear his mother and brother are improving at a rehab facility. They're talking. Rose is out walking every day with Sal behind her throwing a football or kicking a soccer ball."He's happy to know that they're improving, but he's still very despondent, very distraught, very withdrawn and upset about this entire situation."Also charged in the attack is Mitchell Young. His attorney wants his confession thrown out because he was hospitalized with a dislocated jaw after allegedly fighting with Robert Cipriano when he made his statements to police."He was receiving emergency medical care when he was interrogated," said attorney Mike McCarthy.Also at issue, lawyers for both young men want separate trials for the two defendants."I don't want Mr. Young being swept along in a tide of sentiment having to do with Mr. Cipriano," McCarthy said."I don't want Tucker to be facing a situation where we have to deal with Mr. Young's statements to the police based upon the fact that they're not even true," Ribitwer said.Cipriano is due back in court on September 25 and Young the following day to resolve these issues, but it's not likely we'll see a trial start until next year.

A new type of lithium-ion battery that features a 3-D interior structure is able to recharge in just a few minutes, can be discharged over twice as many times as traditional lithium-ion batteries and is thinner and lighter than existing versions -- essentially the dream battery for electric cars.
The new battery prototype was presented at this week's national meeting of the American Chemical Society. Conventional lithium-ion batteries consist of tramadol no prescription saturday electrodes stacked in thin layers, which creates many of its problems like slow charging and limited discharging and a tendency to overheat.
The new battery reconfigures this arrangement by using copper antimonide nanowires arranged into a tightly-packed 3-D structure similar to bristles on a hair brush. The nanowires have more surface area and can store twice as many lithium ions and they're more stable and viagra super active canada heat resistant than the graphite electrodes used in existing batteries. The result is a battery that recharges in 12 minutes instead of two hours and has double the lifespan.
The current prototype is the size of a cell phone battery, but the enter site buy canada in levitra creators hope to scale up the technology to http://www.pneumapaniagua.es/buy-generic-levitra be used in other gadgets like laptops and, eventually, electric cars.

Barbara Cassani: Go (part 1)
Barbara Cassani turned £25m of British Airways' money into a business worth £374m. Now she's bidding for the Olympics
In four years Barbara Cassani turned £25m of British Airways' money into a business worth £374m. Now bidding for the Olympics, the Go founder took time out from promoting her new book Go: An Airline Adventure to tell Growing Business why she thinks the airline was sold too early, what she really thinks of Stelios why buying Concorde was never an option.
What did you want to come across in the book?
One of the things I wanted to come across in the book was the culture of the company. Whenever you talk about culture it becomes gag-making. It either falls into jargon or it becomes really insincere. And it's very hard to put your finger on 'what is a culture?' and 'what is a bad one?'. But you know, you feel it. You can recognise it, but it's hard to describe. I didn't want it to descend into, especially because I'm American, into a horrible American 'empowerment' and oh, just awful terms that have been hackneyed.
How do you foster a culture with a can-do attitude, where staff take responsibility or were you just lucky?
Well, I think it's about every stage of the experience in the company making it consistent with the way you want people to behave. So, when you recruit people, if it's in an area where you want people to work together you make sure working with other people is an important part of their personality. If you want them to work together and solve problems you have to allow them room to do that in the way that you do their job description. And then the way that you coach them to improve on the job, either reinforces stepping a little bit outside the role and offering ideas or it punishes. This comes down to how you reward people in terms of pay rises and the way you make people into heroes within the company. Who you choose to put the spotlight on says a lot about what's important in that company. The other thing, particularly with leaders, is that everyone's watching you. You need to demonstrate the behaviour you want people to emulate. And if you stomp around screaming it gives everyone else permission to do the same thing. Or if you issue orders to people and summarily dismiss people or you favour people in your team, that's noticed. And there becomes a pervasive sense of unfairness. But if you talk about fairness a lot and you try to demonstrate it in everything you do, and there's a consistency then it seeps into the mindset.
What are the principles you abide by?
Consistency is really important to employees. If you say something's important, show that it is and not just flavour of the month. Fairness can't be something that comes and goes. It needs to be pervasive. You can't be fair to employees and then unfair to customers. Again, it's jarring if there are inconsistencies in the approach of a company. None of this is brain surgery. You could describe these as principles of living your life. You trust people who do what they say they're going to do. It's that basic.
The way you were treated by 3i opposes that view somewhat, in that they had given their word that you'd go to IPO three years down the line. That didn't happen and they held talks with Stelios. How did that make you feel?
The issue I had with the whole 3i relationship was that we had a plan. I stuck to my side of the bargain. I was doing everything that I said I was going to do and they pulled the rug. If I were looking at it from their perspective I could understand what they did. I don't think it was completely ridiculous. They didn't show much courage and they didn't show very much belief in what they were doing. They were chicken! I think they could have made, and we all could have made, three times more money by being brave. It's as simple as that. The consequence of them pulling the plug, was that customers lost a great airline, employees lost a really good employer that they enjoyed working for, that was really more than just a job. And that was the end of it. So it was a very strange and sad outcome for something that didn't have to end that way. But it says lot about the kind of company they are.
Were there comparisons with BA's acquisition of Dan Air and the way employees were treated then, because you were part of that and telling people they were having their salaries reduced was something you found difficult?
No, it was different. For me it was more a case of the reality of putting two companies together who are in very similar businesses. It was obvious that one set of rules needed to be applied to both businesses. Personally I felt the Go brand was better than easyJet and had wider appeal. I think the Go on-board service was better, the website was better. There were lots of aspects on a clearly assessed basis that were just better. And it's just a shame to buy a business and not take what it's actually better at. But, c'est la vie!
Have you kept in touch or met up with Stelios since?
(Shakes head)
Is there any antagonism there? Was it a particularly difficult relationship?
Well, we didn't really deal with each other. We really only had that one meeting that was in the book. He clearly prides himself on being an entrepreneur. He's very very busy with his other ventures. You know, they're not making money. He's got a lot on his hands. But, can you imagine being 28 years old and starting up easyJet? He's clearly a talented entrepreneur. In that respect I admire him.
And Michael O'Leary?
We were talking about this earlier. But I've never met Michael, so I don't really have any opinion about him. He's not my cup of tea as a business person, the way he runs his airline or as a person – I mean his language is a bit ripe. It was funny. Everybody made it out that there were these big battles. But the battles were really in the marketplace. They weren't personal. And I actually don't think easyJet buying Go was personal. It wasn't about Barbara Cassani. It was about taking out a competitor that was smaller than you, that already had a lower cost structure and was going to eat your lunch – because you could do it. Not because 1+1=3, but 'holy cow, they're going to eat our lunch if we don't get rid of them and if they get any bigger we won't be able to get rid of them'. Real power politics.
So you'd never involve Stelios on the Olympic bid?
If easyJet wanted to be part of it, go for it. They're one of the biggest airlines here. I don't feel that way. I don't hold grudges and look back. The bid needs everyone involved to be successful.
Which entrepreneurs do you admire? There's obviously some admiration for some of what Stelios has done.
No, I think he leaves businesses too early, which is evident and has happened with all his other businesses.
As far as you understood, that wasn't the type of company they were.
Yeah, and also I didn't have that much choice, did I. You know, when I was doing the management buy-out, BA was selling the business with or without me and I chose the best of the lot, and I think they were, to be fair.
Were you naïve to go into that deal thinking they would see out the three years and go to IPO if a better opportunity came along, given that they were suffering badly with the dotcom crash?
Yeah, but the likelihood of someone else coming along was very low. Remember, 9/11 happened and easyJet put the bid in three months after that, which is extraordinary. The whole thing was really quite extraordinary. Usually it doesn't work that way. Usually venture capital companies end up holding onto airline investments for a long long long long time, because they're hard to get out of. And easyJet had tried to buy us before and had failed. And so I guess, I wasn't naïve, I was mistaken.
And was it a particularly bitter pill to swallow that the company buying was run by Stelios?
It was unbelievable. I'm shaking my head right now and I look back on it and I can remember when the first phone call came in, because I'd been through this before. And I was frustrated that, you know, we had the better business, we were harming them. That's clearly why they wanted to buy us. It's just the luck of the draw. They were older than us and had gotten to market before we had, and they had a stronger capital base and they had the ability to raise money because they were a public company, so they could take us over. And it's as simple as that. I'm not really angry with anyone. It's nothing personal about it. It's just arghhh, it's frustrating that as a result of just little flips of luck in who was first and who was second etcetera, that's who survived. And I think the customers are worse off, which is the sad thing.
How do you think the takeover has gone?
There's only one Go director left. There are a couple of senior managers there, but most of them are gone now. The call centre was closed after they said that nobody would lose their jobs. Huge turnover in cabin crew, probably 70-80%. Pilots are not in the sort of career where they say 'I'm out of here'. But I've gotten a lot of emails from people who would like to move on and do other things if they can. So from easyJet's perspective I don't think they've made pots of money since then. Whether that would have happened without the deal, I don't know. One of the things in the business is that airline mergers don't work.

C & J Energy Services Powering Through Difficult Times With Quality
Cory is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
C&J Energy Services (NYSE: CJES) is making a name for itself in the Eagle Ford, Permian and now the Bakken Shale areas as a fracking service provider with top quality service. Active rig counts are so low that industry leaders Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB) and Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) are watching profit margins erode as they scramble to undercut each other. C&J Energy Services is sticking to its strategy of providing higher efficiency for its customers without lowering prices significantly.
So far the strategy is working. For Q3 2012 Schlumberger and Haliburton's TTM operating margins were 16.30% and 17.42% respectively. C&J's TTM operating margin for the same quarter was an impressive 29.84%, although it has receded somewhat this year from 34.57% in Q4 2011. Over the past two years revenues have steadily risen a whopping 266.8%. The company boasts a return on invested capital of 38.34%, the highest in the North American equipment and services industry.
Despite its ability to remain profitable in a difficult market, C&J Energy Services appears incredibly undervalued with a PE ratio of 5.34. Among Equipment and Service providers, only the struggling Forbes Energy Services' PE Ratio of 4.02 is lower.
Expanding While Rig Counts are Declining
C&J Energy Services was somewhat geographically limited to the Eagle Ford and Permian basin until its acquisition of Casedhole Solutions. With Casedhole's existing customers in the Bakken Shale the company is expanding rapidly, but borrowing relatively heavily to do so. If those plays dry up before the company expands significantly there could be liquidity issues. Overall the company's balance sheet is strong with a current ratio of 2.2 and a debt to equity ratio of 0.36.
My main concern for C&J Energy Services is not a problem specific to the company, but the industry as a whole. The number of natural gas rigs in operation is at a 13 year low. Many rigs have been moved to oil rich plays, but not enough to make up the difference. A combination of depressed prices and highly effective extraction methods are hurting the entire industry.
Opportunity for Rapid Expansion
The Casedhole acquisition has allowed C&J Energy Services to expand north into the Bakken Shale area. The company said goodbye to Chief Operating Officer Brett Barrier during the third quarter and brought in the former President of Casedhole, Don Gawick to take his place. Gawick has 32 years of experience in the oilfield services industry, much of it with international player Schlumberger. Hopefully his geographically diverse experience will help the company expand into lucrative international markets.
There is a hunger for fracking know-how and C&J Energy Services provides a very attractive complete package of services and equipment. So far, the company hasn't released any specific details about their planned international expansion. During the last two earnings calls there has been mention of unnamed Middle East producers expressing interest in C&J Energy Services. A large contract overseas could be the catalyst the market is looking for to bring this company's price in line with the rest of its industry.
International expansion should be very profitable for C&J Energy Services since it can provide most of its own equipment. The company has a wholly owned subsidiary, Total Equipment, that is now capable of providing the company with wireline auxiliary units and advanced fluid ends giving the company greater flexibility in the field at lower costs.
Running With The Big Dogs
C&J Energy Services is a relatively small company eager to expand. The company's debt level should be manageable if domestic gas prices remain level or rise somewhat. An international expansion is exactly what the company needs, but with a market cap of only $1.07 billion, I'm nervous that they might bite off more than they can chew. Baker Hughes and Schlumberger don't provide growth prospects as exciting as C&J, but their larger balance sheets make them considerably safer alternatives.
Just keep it Steady
A high growth rate and low valuation make C&J Energy Services one of the most attractive fracking service providers in the industry. The trouble is, in the US, the industry has outsmarted itself and competition is now fierce. The company's ability to provide a highly efficient service from start to finish gives it a unique advantage over its peers. Its customers don't seem to mind paying C&J a premium over its competitors. In house manufacturing and storage of equipment will allow it to offer high returns while continuing to expand, hopefully overseas. My biggest fear for C&J is that the company might attempt to expand faster than it can afford to.

A Shore Thing2
What do you call a job that requires four different pipe jacking pits to install a new 72" sanitary sewer pipe? Typically, this would be a standard job. But what if that job required excavations that ranged from 20' deep to 32' deep, had an active 21" sanitary sewer line running through one of the pits, had a pond directly next to another of the pits, had a creek less than 12' away, had a mix of sticky clay soil and running sand, had an apartment building nearby, and had a highly traveled road 15' away?
If you are Lowe Construction, with the help of Pro-Tec Equipments Slide Rail Shoring System, you would call it a successful job!
Lowe Construction contacted Pro-Tec Equipment early-on in the process to design a plan to safely and efficiently protect their workers. According to Joshua Thorne, Pro-Tec Equipment's Slide Rail Manger "When Lowe contacted us about this project, my first thoughts were, 'this is an ideal project for our Slide Rail System.' With the mix of bad soil conditions, the proximity to a building and a road, and the overall scope of the project, I was confident that the Pro-Tec Slide Rail System would be able to get the job done for Lowe."
The Pro-Tec Equipment Slide Rail System is a dig and push style system. With its modular, flexible design the system can comply with a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The Pro-Tec Slide Rail Shoring System is installed from the top down and removed from the bottom up, minimizing size of excavations, soil disturbances and restoration time and cost. The installation is done with low vibration, providing soil support for excavations, adjacent structures and existing utilities.
"The original plans called for a beam and lag system," said Scott Bazinet, President for Lowe Construction. "We asked the engineers if we could use the Pro-Tec Slide Rail System instead of the beam and lag. They were happy to allow it." The project, Saddleback Sanitary, located in Grand Rapids, MI, called for a low-vibration system, since all the work would be taking place in close proximity to multiple apartment buildings. "In past projects when we used the Pro-Tec Slide Rail System, we were able to push the post in place with our excavator bucket," said Scott. "Since we were so close to the apartment buildings, we had to take it a step further and pre-drill the post holes."
"On all four of the boring and jacking pits, we had limited access," says Kim Sprague, Field Superintendent for Lowe Construction. "We had a creek nearby on the first pit, a pond next to the second pit and apartment buildings and a road for the other two pits." With Pro-Tec Equipment's exclusive, patented Panel Installation Tool (P.I.T. Boss), having limited access is merely a minor inconvenience. "We used the P.I.T. Boss on three out of the four pits we installed," said Josh Brown, one of the Pro-Tec Equipment Slide Rail consultants on the Saddleback Sanitary project. "Without the P.I.T. Boss, at the depths that Lowe Construction was working, there would have been no easy way to install those panels to the proper depth."
The Pro-Tec Slide Rail Shoring System is made up of five main components: corner post, spreader post (also known as linear rails), spreader beams, roller beams, and panels. The panels used in the Slide Rail System are similar to trench shields, however they are designed and reinforced in a way that allows them to stand up to the rigorous environment in which Slide Rail Systems are commonly used.
On the site, Lowe Construction was using two 100,000+ pound excavators, a PC 400 Komatsu and an 1880 Kato. At one point, they even enlisted the services of a 700 Hitachi. "In my 25+ years of dirt work," said Kim, "these were the worst job conditions I've come across. We had sticky and firm clay, mixed in with running sand. They weren't on top of each other. In some cases, they ran vertically or even diagonally!"
"But the [Pro-Tec Slide Rail] system did exactly what we expected and wanted it to." remarked Scott.
For the Saddleback Sanitary Project, Lowe Construction was the primary sub-contractor for the boring and jacking. The general contractor on the site was Jackson-Merkey Contractors, out of Muskegon, Michigan, owners of the 700 Hitachi also used on the site.
Lowe Construction is based out of Horton, Michigan. Founded in 1974, their primary focus is in auger boring and jacking, pipe jacking, and tunneling. Lowe Construction primarily services the Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana areas, but has been known to venture out even further.
Pro-Tec Equipment is the leading producer of trench shoring and shielding equipment since 1995. Based out of Charlotte, Michigan, Pro-Tec Equipment services contractors through an international network of dealers and distributors. In Michigan, Pro-Tec Equipment operates retail locations in Grand Rapids, Detroit, and Charlotte. All of Pro-Tec Equipment's products are P.E. certified to meet andor exceed O.S.H.A. standards.

New Gender Benchmarking Study Finds Women Greatly Under-Represented in South Korean Science, Technology and Innovation
Posted 3/8/2013
Numbers of women in engineering, physics and computer science are on the decline in Korea
Seoul, March 7, 2013– In the first gender benchmarking study of its kind, researchers have found that numbers of women in the science, technology and innovation fields are alarmingly low in the world's leading economies, and are actually on the decline in others, including the United States. South Korea's low ranking in the study results reflects a substantial underrepresentation of females in public and economic life.

I recently was on the lovely Celebrity Silhouette with my wife. Embarked in Civitavecchia Rome December 1st - December 16th, 2012 in Ft. Lauderadale.
The ship was the nicest ship I have been on. Oasis of the Seas was also an eye popper but in a different way.
Everything thing was great on the ship, from the Bistro Five service to the main dining room service with live music in the grand Foyer where cruise passengers were dancing.
The only real complaint I have about Celebrity is in the Oceanview Cafe where buffet breakfast and lunch is served daily. I noticed this as well on my Celebrity Century voyage to Alaska in July. Thought it was a one off. The workers who cleans tables don't seem to be as efficient as other cruiselines. I would see them walking by the tables where ther are plates and untentsils. Not sure what the issue was. So sometimes it was hard to find tables to sit. Despite this I would still go on Celebrity but in their Solstice class vessels.
We stayed a night in Rome. Public transit in Italy is really cheap and is based on the honor system. It was raining when we arrived that night but go on the express bus that we paid $15 Euros per person for. There was also a city like bus for 4 Euros. Not sure why we didn't take that option. They both take you to the Main Termini station.
Embarking in Civitavecchia was easy since it was slow season and sinc only the Celebrity Silhoutte and the Norwegian ship was there. The Norewegian was docked quite a ways.
Taking this Westbound transatlantic was great because as we were returning back to North America, the time would go back an hour almost every day. This was great because you wont' feel jetlag when you return back to you home city or you won't feel as much of a jetlag.

- Operas
- Tickets
- Contribute
- Company
- Broadway
- Resident Artists
For those of you who don't know, I took this job (eight seasons ago) fresh out of grad school, with no opera background at all. I had seen one opera -- of course, it was Carmen! -- but most of what I remember about that experience was that I missed the bus and had to call my mom in a panic and get her to drive me to the theater herself. I was fifteen. I do not remember a single thing about the show.
That means that almost every show we produce at the opera is a new learning experience for me. Occasionally I'll be passingly familiar with a few tunes -- I think we can pretty much all hum moments from Figaro or Barber or La Boheme -- but on the whole, these pieces are entirely new to me. The great thing about working on operas, though, is that by default you get to learn a piece pretty well by the time you're finished with it. I hear any given opera no fewer than ten times, and for most shows it's more like fourteen times. So I learn four or five new operas every year just by showing up to work.
Most of the time, I don't make much effort to learn the shows beforehand. As is true for most of us, I am very busy during the season, and there isn't a ton of time to study scores and listen to recordings. And frankly, most of the time it isn't that important. What I need to know best is usually there on the page; I don't need to be able to recognize arias by ear (a thing that I am, by the way, notoriously bad at even if I'm very familiar with a work). Familiarity is helpful but not necessary. Since I know I'll be very familiar with the show by the end of the run, studying scores and recordings often feels like maybe not the best use of my very precious time.
Of course, there have been exceptions. Orphée was probably the first show I actively worked to know before rehearsals began. I wrote about the process a little bit here. In that specific instance, what I was interested in was more about meeting Philip Glass than it was about learning an opera. I recognized that one only gets a few opportunities to meet somebody so important, and I hated to shake his hand without having at least a glimmer of understanding -- or heck, recognition -- of his work. Falling in love with Orphée (and later Galileo) was an accidental side effect! It wasn't at all the objective. I just wanted to be informed.
So, Falstaff. Ever since we first decided to program it, people have told me: "You are going to love Falstaff." But there's always this caveat: Falstaff's lack of any big 'tunes' (by which I mean standalone arias that everybody knows, like Pagliacci's "Vesti la giubba" or Carmen's "Habanera") make it a harder sell for many listeners. It's more difficult for the ear to latch on to. It's mostly through-composed -- flowing from one musical moment to the next, without independent recits and arias -- and that's always more challenging for a listener because there isn't really a break. The ones you get are momentary; fleeting and then gone. Falstaff was Verdi's final opera, and, so the story goes, he wrote this one purely for the fun of writing it, for himself much more than for the audience. It is, I have been told a number of times, is "a musician's opera."
For this last show of the season, I thought it might be an interesting adventure to take you along on my journey to learn Falstaff. I've never seen the show, nor have I even heard it -- any of it. Remarkably, somehow I have never even read any of the Shakespeare plays the character appears in (Henry IV parts 1 & 2, and The Merry Wives of Windsor). I am going into this one totally cold. Do you want to come along with me?
So, my homework this week:
• Read all 3 Shakespeare plays.
• Make at least one complete pass through a recording of the opera, possibly following along with the score (if time allows)
• Begin reading The Verdi-Boito Correspondence (amazon | goodreads)
Next week I'll report back with what I learn. Please feel free to join in! And if you're a fan of Falstaff, chime in: what else should I read, watch, listen to?
We are excited to hear our Resident Artist tenor, Matthew Grills, in recital tomorrow at Portland Art Museum! Tickets are currently sold out, but if you didn't get one and you're hoping to get in, any tickets not claimed by 6:55 PM will be released again to the general public. Hope to see you there!

reverberate from the drummer,
bass strummer and pi-an-o

Up and down the scales
the moan wails
a lascivious groan
lusty riffs thrown
by metal and ivory

Gather with fellow Americans and Read the Bill of Rights Aloud.
PHOENIX, AZ --(Ammoland.com)- To my national friends, customers, colleagues and fans:
More than ever America needs to recognize the Bill of Rights, and the restraints it places on the President, the Congress and government at large.
I am not organizing a centralized event this year as I have for the past decade.

Atlanta based rapper Roscoe Dash wasn't too pleased with Kanye West's Cruel Summer preview video that came out yesterday. (For the record, we loved it.) Was it the art direction? Maybe the choice of backing tracks? Nope, Dash felt that he didn't get the credit that he deserved.
"Everybody go get the G.O.O.D. album," Dash began in a tweet from the 20th, "and listen to #1 then watch @kanyewest interview & tell me y I'm not on the credits."
Shots. Fired.
But Dash wasn't done. That tweet was the first in a series of industry and artist condemnations. These weren't subtweets or vague allegations either.

Nassau unveils school tax calculator
Nassau County has introduced an online "school property tax calculator" to help homeowners estimate their October tax bills in response to the "sticker shock" some residents experienced last year because of a steep rise in tax rates.
Falling house values and successful assessment protests helped push up residential school tax rates in some communities by more than 20 percent, leading to property tax increases of thousands of dollars for some homeowners whose assessments had remained stable or increased.
Despite a state cap on district tax levys of about 2 percent, the average school tax rate across Nassau increased by an average 11.7 percent in October because of assessment changes within each district, Newsday reported then.
SEARCH: School election results | State ratings
DATA: AP test results | LI homeless students | School demographics
PHOTOS: LI schools | School events | BLOG: School Notebook
MORE: News alerts, newsletters | Twitter | Facebook
If assessed values drop, tax rates must increase to bring in the same amount of money. If one homeowner pays less in school taxes because of a lowered assessment, neighbors have to pay more to make up the loss.
"Over the years, I have found that too many homeowners were surprised to learn that the percentage of school taxes they had to pay in October was often higher than the percentage of budget increase they approved in May," acting Nassau County Assessor Jim Davis said in a news release.
The calculator "was created to give homeowners a reasonable estimate of this year's school tax rates as well as their projected individual tax obligation, so that they can see how school spending plans will truly impact their wallets."
Homeowners can plug their home's assessed value and school district name into the online calculator -- nassaucountyny.gov/estschooltax -- to get an estimate of their school tax bills.

Generic Name: tacrine (Pronunciation: TAK rin)
What is tacrine (Cognex)?
Tacrine improves the function of nerve cells in the brain. It works by preventing the breakdown of a chemical called acetylcholine (ah see til KO leen). People with dementia usually have lower levels of this chemical, which is important for the processes of memory, thinking, and reasoning.
Tacrine is used to treat mild to moderate dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease.
Tacrine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
Cognex 10 mg
green/yellow, imprinted with COGNEX 10
Cognex 20 mg
blue/yellow, imprinted with COGNEX 20
Cognex 30 mg
orange/yellow, imprinted with COGNEX 30
Cognex 40 mg
blue/yellow, imprinted with COGNEX 40
What are the possible side effects of tacrine (Cognex)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
Less serious side effects of tacrine include:
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What is the most important information I should know about tacrine (Cognex)?
Before taking tacrine, tell your doctor if you have heart disease or a heart rhythm disorder such as "sick sinus syndrome" (slow heartbeats), an enlarged prostate, urination problems, asthma, obstructive pulmonary disease, or a seizure disorder such as epilepsy.
Tacrine is most effective when taken between meals on an empty stomach, but you may take it with food if it upsets your stomach.
It is important to use tacrine regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results from this medication.
Call your doctor at once if you have serious side effects such as confusion, hallucinations, extreme or sudden changes in behavior, seizure (convulsions), pain or burning when you urinate, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Do not stop taking this medication without first talking to your doctor. If you stop taking tacrine suddenly, your condition may become worse.
Tacrine can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.

Fans are upset about the cover art on a new edition of the classic novel "Anne of Green Gables," originally written by Lucy Maud Montgomery and originally published in 1908.
This new edition was published in November and offers a three-in-one set of "Gables," "Anne of Avonlea" and "Anne of The Island." You can buy it on Amazon.com.
Anne who is described in the book as a redhead is now a blonde on the cover – and a kind of sexy, farm girl blonde at that.
See the old and new cover art here.
From the Christian Science Monitor:
"Anne (with an "e," thank you), the orphan girl who is adopted by stern Marilla and warmhearted Matthew of Green Gables on Prince Edward Island, often bemoans her red hair and freckles. "Now you see why I can't be perfectly happy," she says tragically soon after meeting her new guardian, Matthew. "Nobody could who had red hair. I don't mind the other things so much – the freckles and the green eyes and my skinniness." (She, in fact, informs him she wishes she had hair of "a glorious black, black as the raven's wing.")
"Her appearance is later the subject of one of the novel's most famous incidents, when schoolmate and future husband Gilbert Blythe calls her "carrots," prompting her to break her slate over his head. …
"Montgomery's iconic Anne is a high-spirited redhead with freckles and a pointed chin, whereas this new Anne is a languid blond with dark roots, a round face and a come-hither look," Irene Gammel, a Montgomery expert, told the Toronto Star.
"By Stephanie Lewis – See all my reviews
"This review is from: Anne of Green Gables : Three in One Set : Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea,Anne of The Island (Paperback)
"The book is wonderful but Anne has red hair and freckles! The cover is horrible and does not represent the authors original intent of the character that many generations have grown to love.
"1.0 out of 5 stars So completely wrong!, February 7, 2013
"By Barbara (Stratford, Ontario, Canada) – See all my reviews
"This review is from: Anne of Green Gables : Three in One Set : Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea,Anne of The Island (Paperback)
"These classic books have been an inspiration to countless girls, and I am looking to replace my long-lost copies sometime soon. But I can promise you I won't be buying THESE editions. Have the cover designer and the production department never actually read the books? This cover in NO WAY represents Anne Shirley and in fact is a direct contradiction of everything that character is and represented. Please pull these and redo them – these covers are a travesty!"
So what do you think? Should Anne of Green Gables be represented as a redhead and not a blonde? Is the blonde too sexy for this classic book?
February 8th, 2013
5:52 am
I think the model on the cover looks just fine. Purely innocent. No skin, no cleavage, no high heels. This article is very misleading. One would think by reading this article without seeing the cover that it must resemble a Playboy photoshoot. Far from it…….. In fact, could it be that some of the old hens writing these reviews are jealous? Most women are usually very jealous of young, attractive blondes.
February 8th, 2013

That is nothing. The cover is fine and nothing sexy about it. I was sure I was about to see almost kiddie porn.

I think we've been lectured before this may be one of those situations called "artistic freedom", which, if I remember, is to NEVER, EVER be questioned, else censorship, book-burning and witch trials is surely to follow.
February 8th, 2013

Although I don't think the picture is inappropriate it is not representative of the character. This is not a pre-teen red head it's a teen age blond. This was obviously just an attempt to sell books. A poor attempt. I wouldn't buy it. Like I said, I don't think it is inappropriate but I do think it is just kind of stupid.
February 8th, 2013
8:11 am
I loved the stories when I was a young girl. I don't find the cover to be objectionable other than the fact that it misrepresents the heroine. I find it hard to believe that they couldn't find an attractive redhead with freckles.
February 8th, 2013
8:16 am
Well, I would not say I am outraged. I save my outrage for more important things. However, no one at the publishing company must be aware of the content of the book. And who would want to buy something based on inaccuracy on so basic a level? I give it an epic FAIL.

TWG – I was kind of surprised we didn't talk about the 9 students who were suspended for the rest of the school year for a food fight last Friday and those who were 17 or 18 were arrested. Maybe it's the 'talk of the town' down here since it happened in Henry Co. where I live but there has been quite the ruckus.
The AJC did a small report but 11 Alive has a better report and even your favorite Huffington Post did a blog on it the other day.

They should just go ahead and rename the book 'Anne of Abercrombie and Fithc' and put a cell phone in her hands. That's obviously what they were going after.

Ahhh, the lamentations of housewives. They are becoming as useless as printed books themselves.
February 8th, 2013
9:40 am
I've never read AOGG and don't personally know anything about it but from the character description the primary problem with the cover is that the only things the cover girl has in common with Anne is that they are both Caucasian females. Its kind of stupid to depict a character with someone who does not possess story relevant characteristics such as age, skin type, and hair color.
Regarding the inappropriateness of the cover I agree that by today's standards the cover is far from what would qualify as 'sexy' but it is a bit incongruous for a children's book. One also has to ask why on earth the publisher would do this and the only logical reason is simply to opt for more attractive instead of more accurate which in essence is playing to…sex appeal.
February 8th, 2013
9:47 am
Well, it doesn't offend me enough to start a riot, but I think it's pretty stupid of the publisher to take such an iconic character and totally FAIL at a representation. And yeah, I do think that the pose — slightly tosseled blonde hair flowing, shoulders back, chest forward, arm thrown behind the head and running her hand through her hair with a half-smile on her face IS inappropriate. It's a Playboy pose with clothes on. It's not even as if Anne WANTS to be a blonde — she wants to be a brunette!!!
February 8th, 2013
10:42 am
Anne did not wear plaid either. This is totally unnecessary. Very stupid.
February 8th, 2013
11:05 am
Isn't Anne supposed to be eleven years old? It's like they put Larry Flint in charge of the photo shoot. They didn't have babes like that when I was in the fifth grade. Teachers, yes. Students no. Ah, my third grade teacher, Mrs. Wells. OMG. The only lay teacher at St. Mary's in Waco Texas. What a babe, what a babe. My mom thought I ate a lot of apples that year, my friends.
February 8th, 2013
11:45 am
Oh good lord- people are getting furious over this? Some people really need to get a life. Yes, she is supposed to be 11 with red hair, but can't people get over the fact that the picture is different… Sexy farm girl? What is wrong with people! She's pretty and blond. Lots of jealous housewives making that comment.
February 8th, 2013
11:49 am
I also don't see anything sexy about the picture..I see lots of people pulling their hair up like that and I don't see it as sexy, just getting your hair out of the way..
February 8th, 2013
11:52 am
It's not important enough that I'm going to get upset over it, but the cover art doesn't match the physical description of Anne, and the facial expression/pose doesn't fit at all with the character's personality. The person who chose the art did a poor job.
February 8th, 2013
11:57 am
Well, it's nothing to get in a huge snit over, but the girl in the cover art is definitely not even CLOSE to matching the description of Anne in the books. The pose? I dunno,. I think people are reading wayyyyy too much into that, but it's also interesting she's clearly wearing a shirt whereas in the time and place Anne was set, she'd be wearing a dress.

Actually, I'm surprised there wasn't more outrage over Beyonce's half-time Super Bowl show. I didn't think the grinding and gyrating, along with the very racy lingerie was family-friendly and appropriate. IMO, all that was missing was the stripper pole.
February 8th, 2013
2:12 pm
They are trying to sell books….A historically accurate picture of a Victorian Era farm girl on the front is going to appeal to a much smaller crowd of young girls than the "art" they choose.
I really don't care about the pose or the plaid shirt. Sure it was "cheeky" but then Anne is cheeky.
That said, I am sure the could have found a red head if they tried. That girl (Cici????) on the Disney channel is a red head. It seems rather stupid to show a photo that is not a red head.
I absolutely get why they updated it.
Neither of my children would pick up a Little House or Green Gables book. They full admit the cover art is the reason. However, when I read the books allowed before bed, they both loved the stories and that girls of yester-year are not all that different (still concerned with boys, chores, school work, and how to get along with others).
February 8th, 2013
2:14 pm
I think the cover art gives the wrong impression of the character to those who have not yet read the book. It reminds me of Jessica Simpson playing Daisy Duke, which is as far from fine literature as you can get. Those bashing the bashers probably have not read the book. If this is all that is on the cover, they are trying to sell books based on the person, not the quality of the book itself. I'll pick up a copy at a used-book store.
I had a hard enough time trying to imagine Kristin Stewart being more beautiful than Charlize Theron in Snow White and the Huntsman. Charlize is infinitely more beautiful.

Actually that picture is more appropriate for the sequel…Anne- the Sorority Years….

TWG said, "I try to pull AP stuff from huffpo so I know it's unbiased". Are you kidding me? Seriously? There is not two farther left sites out there anywhere than AP and huffpo, especially the latter. I don't know at the times I have read things from those two that turned out to be the exact opposite they said. They are so biased and slated, I'm surprised the print doesn't actually tilt left on the page!!!!!!!!! Geeeezzzz, come out of the forest please!

Ok first of all she has red hair..second this book takes place around 1890-1900..she would not be dressed like that and at the beginning of the book she was only 11 and by the end only about 16. I am so tired of everyone pushing sex and this is what this cover is doing. They want to modernize the cover so more girls will buy the book. What's next are we going to sex up Laura Ingalls for the cover of Little House on the Prairie? Sorry my daughters will only read my old copies with the old covers. They need to remove these and re-shoot the cover if they want to have new one. At least getting it historically accurate as far as her dress as well.

Publishers assume that "young adult" readers will select books because they identify with the people on the covers. Jane Austen novels are being reissued with models closer to the mid-to-late-teens of the female heroines, rather than stuffy period artwork showing adults. Maybe the goal of this "Anne" is to attract older readers who would enjoy the later books but ought to read the earlier ones first?
Usually this is a problem where a book with a non-white protagonist gets a white cover model, lest it be categorized in "Af-Am Fiction" or some other category where it's only seen by a smaller group of people. (Justine Larbalestier's "Liar" was a well-publicized recent example.)
No thoughts on having a famous redheaded character depicted as a blonde. That's just weird.
February 9th, 2013
5:11 am
"Outraged"- Nothing else wrong in this world that might draw the attention of the protesters? Heaven forbid that book publishers want to sell more books. That's new. Better that they go out of business and all "books" be digital.
February 9th, 2013
9:25 am
I don't see anything wrong with the cover, except for the fact that it doesn't represent the character in the book. However, the cover doesn't change the content of the book at all. Just don't look at it or cover it or read it on an ereader then you have no cover. What some people will get in a tizzy about!?!
February 9th, 2013
2:33 pm
Truly a pity that this delightful novel is rarely taught in our schools.
It manages to instruct in lifelong values while at the same time exposing young readers to a rich vocabulary missing in modern books. The story line likewise is consistently pleasing.
Modern novels (post-1960) are devoted to making white kids feel guilty about "racism."
February 9th, 2013
10:29 pm
My wife is a huge fan of the TV series based on the book. So, I have seen parts of the series numerous times. This cover is quite simply idiotic, since Anne is a redhead and says she wants to be a brunette. And, yes the cover is also trying to promote sex appeal. The obviously older girl (at least in comparison to the previous cover) is pushing her chest out, running her hand through her hair and does have at least implied "bedroom eyes". Come on!!!
Do we really want all of our female children to grow up to be sex-objects (and even before they are adults)? That sure seems to be the direction we are headed. Over-the-top sexuality with Beyonce in the half-time show, stripper poles, the sexualization of very young girls in beauty pageants, all of the female teenage celebrity "role models" (think Brittany Spears, Miley Cyrus, Lindsey Lohan, Amanda Bynes) who have tried to turn into sex-objects, the adult-looking clothing aimed at young teenage girls. It is beyond crazy. This cover is just one more example.
February 10th, 2013
8:21 am
In the opening pages of Anne of Green Gables she despairs about her hair—which is described as being "as orange as carrots." Just as in the original cover illustration.
As a teacher I enjoyed teaching this book and my students (6th grade) very much enjoyed reading it.

I agree with @ SpouseOfAOGGFan. This cover is not "much ado about nothing". Basically, this cover implies that there is something wrong with simply being an 11 year old girl. There is so much rushing of girls to grow up and be "teenagers" several years before they reach that age.
Aside from the physical differences with the red hair and freckles, the character of Anne in the first novel is a mischievous child, somewhat a tomboy and totally charming. What's wrong with portraying that? Let's let our girls be girls!
There are enough folks buying the book on Amazon or checking it out of the library with the traditional covers. When I look for these books for my child, I always look for the classic, earlier editions that have the original written words of the author. Sometimes, the updated versions don't have the same rhythm or flow in the writing.

I have paddled with it 8 days now, typically about 7 miles each time, and I am like the guy in the H&R Block ad, "I just don't seem to sweat any more". My only complaint is that the velcro on the neck closure didn't allow for a secure closure for me. I have a large neck, but not abnormally large. I only had about a half inch of overlap on the Velcro which wasn't secure enough to be acceptable. I had to sew on another 1.5" long piece of 'loop' Velcro, and now it works the way it should. I find that this jacket has substantially improved my early spring cold weather/water paddling experience by a wide margin. I would definitely recommend it.

Tomblin visits PSHS to pull trigger on Musket Bill

PARKERSBURG — Surrounded by hundreds of students, cheerleaders, the band, school officials, elected leaders and the Parkersburg South High School Patriot, Go....
Now if the Governor would request his A.G. to turn his aim with the flintlock/caplock towards the impending Obamacare and sue to keep WV out of it.

Was not so much disagreeing with you, just pointing out a patriot would have been using a flintlock rifle or smoothbore, not a civil war era caplock. That's all.

Its not a flintlock, its a caplock. However if it were historically accurate, it would be a flintlock.

Good to see some common sense has prevailed.
