Many thanks Dino - sadly, can't argue much with any of the solid points you are making here. Very helpful. I am assuming this version would be (slightly) more appealing to you:
I will admit I know next to nothing about this line of Zenith watches, but that actually looks like a fake. Something about it screams... fake.Quote:

The new in-house offerings are exceptional, considering all that you get. Although I have not handled them in the flesh, the pictures I have seen are quite impressive.

Now, for the caveat. First, FC's PR department really needs to step its game up. Either you are a mall watch, or you are a manufacture. I think they are trying to straddle both markets, and that really causes their image to suffer. It would be like if Nomos suddenly started selling open heart Quartz watches at your local Kay. It just does not look good.
Second, FC's offerings truly lack an identity. Further, they tend to "borrow" their identity from other, more established manufactures.
For example, the moonphase above looks slightly reminiscent of this GP:
I wish that FC worked a little bit on developing themselves and their own identity.
With all that said, in their price range, you really cannot get much better for your money.post #20690 of 483125/5/13 at 9:49pm

I do understand this sentiment. We've written before about not wanting to compromise for anything, given the stratospheric price points of some timepieces. I do think part of the nature of whether you think something represents a "compromise" or not is certainly personal and subjective (which you always allowed for).
For example, the 3970 has been criticized for not quite having an ideal "size to height" ratio. That it looks "too fat" because its case size is 36mm but it is relatively "tall" at 12.9mm (chronograph movements usually add a bit of thickness). It has even been called a "hamburger watch." Yuck, who would want to own something like that?
Here is a picture of the "hamburger watch" - at an angle to hopefully show its relative thickness versus its "small" case size.
For me, however, I think it's absolutely perfect. It's one man's "fat" versus this man's "perfection." I will happily stay "married" to this piece until it's time to give it to my daughters.
To continue the supermodel analogy, this young lady was "roundly" (sorry for the pun) criticized when these pictures came out:
"OMG - she's fat," others crowed. "No way she should be modeling on a catwalk!" - others said.
Sports Illustrated and thousands of other men - including myself - disagreed. Twice on the cover of SI Swimsuit Edition!
Again, if her "look" ain't your cup of tea, that's all good. From my perspective, she looks mighty fine.
To use a watch analogy, I'm quite impressed by the lovely balance of the subdials and lugs, and the finishing looks first rate.
Stick with watches, mate.
Many a hole in many an argument.
But with your obvious means, you have quite the assortment of fine timepieces.
Your 'hamburger' watch might even do it for me. Not familiar with it in person and the measurements are possible but maybe not quite right on my wrist.
I cannot say for sure without it on my flesh. Sorry, that attempt at a pseudo pun sounds off.
I find size issues also depend on size of wearer.post #20691 of 483125/5/13 at 9:54pm

I really like mine - and it's one that's not very derivative of an existing watch that I know of. Their sister brand Alpina has a longer history and is better known globally, but not so much in the states.
It's true, their marketing strategy is a bit muddled and is holding them back. As a manufacture, I think their watches are a much better value than, say, most of the Longines that are based on ETA movements. But they should clean up the lower end stuff and try to limit their channels a little - although I don't see an issue with Amazon or Overstock, who also carry Longines, Breitling, B&R, TAG, Tissot, Oris, Hamilton, etc.post #20693 of 483125/6/13 at 1:25am

I love it! Even though lends heavily from smiliar watches from other brands. The execution looks very good. But 42mm? A tad bit too large for a dressy watch, no?post #20694 of 483125/6/13 at 4:18am
But it doesn't have a dot between the 31 and the 3. Or a 2. Ah well, who needs even numbered days anyway?post #20695 of 483125/6/13 at 4:45am

Teehee! I see what you did there.
But wait - really now, aesthetically speaking, see how "7" is followed by what looks like a "6" in the moonphase as you go clockwise? That choice to flip the numerals at "9" actually does turn a bunch of folks off. Others would have said "keep the 9 in line with 7 and do the flip at 11, which is "palindrome-ic" anyway.
Doesn't bother me though. Or maybe I should take another closer look...post #20696 of 483125/6/13 at 4:46am

yikes let's do anything EXCEPT talk about Nazis ok?
so question... I'm looking for a new dress watch that will usually be worn with natural/neutral tones and leathers... about a $2K budget and I'm wide open to suggestions. Round face, 40mm max, auto preferred, simple and classic aesthetics, Roman numerals a possibility, no yellow gold...
Agreed with the Nomos recommendations. That would be my first choice for a currently-manufactured watch around that price, too. Many modern "dressy" ones of comparable cost screw it up by adding a badly-drawn date window (often floating in the middle of an oversized dial) or messing up other elements. Nomos' attention to detail is very impressive; they're fluent in the language of design in ways that many of their competitors wouldn't even understand.
Another one to consider around the $2K mark would be an older 34 or 36 mm Rolex, like an Oyster Precision, Air-King, Date or Datejust model. While they're not strictly dress watches, they can look great on a strap, are certainly dressy enough for most situations, and offer quality, reliability and serviceability that can't be beat for the price. They have the same no-compromise movements that went into the sports range, as well.
There's heaps to be had out there in vintage-land, too. This sunburst-dial Enicar, bought from a former watchmaker in a Budapest street market, occasionally gets worn on the pictured strap for dress-watch duties — at least when it's not on someone else's wrist as a gateway drug into watch addiction. There are heaps of high-quality older watches out there from formerly great manufacturers that can be had very reasonably, and were skillfully made to standards that today aren't seen in new stuff anywhere near their price.post #20698 of 483125/6/13 at 5:01amQuote:
Yes indeed. There's so much out there, and a decent SS 36mm Datejust is definitely dressy enough in my book, even on a bracelet. It's simple, modestly sized but solid and manly.post #20699 of 483125/6/13 at 5:06am

Got some pictures of the used watch I´m looking at. Too me it looks fine, but if anyone can spot any warning signs from the 3 pictures I´d love to hear them. I sent a mail asking for a confirmation on the movement, its condition, and the condition of the sapphire glass. They do however not have the case or the certificate card, but it is sold by a reputable Japanese watch store (not only internet). Kinda between buying this and a new Oris right now.post #20700 of 483125/6/13 at 5:06am

Purdue University students participate in course at FGV/EBAPE
Atualizado Wednesday 02/04/2014
From March 10-14, students from Krannert School of Management, at Purdue University, in the United States - one of the international partners of the School, visited the Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration of Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV/EBAPE). They've attended the Doing Business in Brazil, a course offered by EBAPE that aims to present an overview of the political, economic and social aspects of Brazil.
The program included lectures held by the School's professors and guests, besides companies and institutions located in Rio de Janeiro, such as Shell, the American Chamber of Commerce, Companhia de Desenvolvimento Urbano da Região do Porto do Rio de Janeiro (CDURP) and Centro de Operações Rio.
The group of students - made up of Indian, Thai, American, Japanese, Indonesian, Chinese and Brazilians - were able to learn a bit more about the reality of the country, which currently stands out among the 10 largest economies in the world. That was the case of Jennifer Griffith: "FGV did a great job of integrating relevant economic, political and social aspects of Brazil and Rio de Janeiro. The presentations were interesting and flowed well and were connected to the external visits in the afternoon," she said.
For the organizers of the course in Brazil, the perception of the students was very positive. "This program provides students the opportunity to see, first hand, current events and the Brazilian economic environment, giving them a chance to have a holistic view of how to do business in Brazil," explained the director of International Relations of EBAPE, Mônica Balanda.
Founded in 1869, Purdue University is known for its academic excellence and leadership in research production.

Katie Couric sure seems like a fun lady on set, but she might want to keep it in check while the cameras roll. The "CBS Evening News"
host is once again in hot water for leaked footage of having fun at the
expense of others — this time, it's the extremely delayed release of
her discussing Sarah Palin on day one of the 2008 Republican National Convention
The Huffington Post points
to Couric's unearthed voice over recording session, explaining Palin's
back-story — she was still a national mystery at the time, if you can
wrap your brain around that. Couric started getting the giggles when the
subject turned to the then-governor of Alaska's children.

The 46' Phantom stands apart from other European flybridge yachts her size with aggressive styling, handsome lines and a rare spacious three stateroom layout. This well finished yacht shows it's owner's meticulous attention to detail in it's appearance inside and out. It shows like a much newer vessel. It's the only one on the west coast. Prime Marriott Marina slip available!
The Fairline Phantom 46 has a large and sociable flybridge. The sheer size of the space for lounging and relaxing is generous for a boat of this size; it has double central seating at the helm plus two crew seats, a dining area for as many as six, and a large bar unit. The teak-laid cockpit and bathing platform can provide passengers with their own private beach - but this one has a diving platform, a swimming ladder, and a refreshing hot and cold shower. The large, airy saloon with its six-seat dining table, cocktail cabinet and soft, comfy seating to port and starboard, is on the same level as the spacious and well-equipped galley with its large fridge and freezer and useful in-floor stowage hold. The Phantom 46 has generous accommodations for six in a superbly practical three-cabin layout, plus the option of a crew cabin with a single bed, washbasin and toilet.

Tips for Helping a Person With Diabetes
Diabetes is tough. When you have diabetes, you need to eat healthy food, stay active, control your weight, take your medicine, and check your blood glucose (sugar) to see how you are doing. And that's on top of handling all the other things in life! No wonder a person with diabetes can feel stressed out and afraid — and even depressed!
You want the best for your loved ones with diabetes — whether they are family members or friends. Maybe you are looking for ways to ease the pressure your mother feels. Or maybe you would like to help your husband take better control of his diabetes. It's a hard disease to handle alone. You can make a big difference in how well your loved one copes with diabetes. Use these tips to get started today.
1. Learn about diabetes. There is a lot to learn about living well with diabetes. Treatment is changing and we are learning more every day. You can use what you learn to help your loved one.
- Attend a class.
- Look on the Internet.
- Ask the doctor or nurse how you can learn more.
2. Understand your loved one's diabetes. Each person's experience with diabetes is different. What things are hard for your friend to manage? What things are easy?
3. Find out what your loved one needs. Try asking these three questions.
- What do I do that helps you with your diabetes?
- What do I do that makes it harder for you to manage your diabetes?
- What can I do to help you more than I do now?
4. Talk about your feelings. Diabetes affects you, too. Telling your loved one how you feel can help both of you.
5. Offer practical help. Instead of nagging, find ways to be helpful. Ask what would help your loved one most.
- Offer to go to the doctor with your father or mother.
- Take a walk with your wife.
- Cook a tasty and healthy meal for a friend.
6. Try a new approach. When things aren't going right, try something new. Find one thing that works and build from there.
7. Get help. Many people can help you help your loved one with diabetes.
- Find a diabetes support group in the health
section of your newspaper or on the Internet.
- Ask your health care provider about ways to get help if your loved one is sad or depressed.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And about to get a whole lot healthier.

Three things got me annoyed yesterday:
1) Not being at Web2expo – i'll get over that, i'm trying to get to Berlin 😉
2) Preparing for a practical workshop on blogging only to realise that 75% of the time is going to be spent explaining what tags are and rss is rather than discussing how they can be of benefit to a business.
3) Control freaks – people who think that a little bit of knowledge think they know it all (won't go into that one!)
In particular, number two got me thinking that as a country, we are woefully under-educated when it comes to social media. Why are we still having conversations about what these tools are rather than what they can do for you?
I'd like to throw a few thoughts into the hat and see what people like Neville, Stephen, Steve, Becky, Will, Dave, Robin, Hugh, Jas, Stuart and maybe even Chris, Brian, Geoff and Pete have to say:
Is online social interaction (the principle of people/customers meeting online to share things and meet each other) SO far beyond people's grasp they just do not get what happens and what people do?
The idea that without your work hat on, "I don't use the internet like that , so why would my customers?â€
Does the rate of change/growth of new social media tools scare IT departments or marketing/pr teams that anything they may decide to adopt may be obsolete in a few months? What about the sheer number of tools they could use? Is it realistic to expect a marketeer to keep track of everything that goes on?
Are we our own worst enemies? Do we like to talk XML, php, css and other jargon too much that we actually alienate the very people we are hoping to adopt the tools we talk about?
This relates nicely in fact, to point number three. People who have traditionally been in total control of their customers (when their customers didn't know any better) are now petrified that they can't control what their customers are saying. Burying their heads in the sand won't work.
Previous tools such as websites, direct mail, press ads and email were great at telling customers what the brand wanted them to hear but now marketeers have to get their heads around the fact that those same recipients are talking back – just that they are telling other customers not them!
Tone of Voice
After decades of talking AT customers, brands are now having to talk
TO WITH (thanks Gregory) customers. How do you talk to people you have spent years ignoring what they say? How should you speak to them? Learning THAT takes either a lot of listening, training or plenty of both.
Social Media Tools are "a phase†of internet growth
Several years ago (early 90's), when working for a large mail order company, the whole business began gearing up for this "internet" thing that was coming.
HR were booking training sessions for people like there was no tomorrow , business-wide email was starting to roll-out and you could sense that people knew something big and important was going to happen. 15 years and 1 billion online users later – they were right.
The impression I get of what many of us might call the proverbial "sea-change†in the internet is that social media and its associated tools are nothing more than evolution rather than revolution.
I'll end with some links to a couple of great posts, (from Suw who is organising the blogger outreach for the Berlin Web2 Expo and the legendary BL Ochman)all around exactly what I am talking about above as well as the Chris's 12 reasons why he thinks the UK isn't blogging or adopting social media tools:

1 – You don't understand why you'd want a business blog. Neither does your CEO.
2 – You are the CEO. And you're not going to allow your minions to blog.
3 – You think it is too risky to allow your colleagues to write blog posts.
4 – Your PR agency thinks blogging is a bad move.
5 – You mentioned something to the techies. It is in their development schedule.
6 – You haven't figured out who will contribute to the blog, or what you will write about.
7 – You can't see any benefits whatsoever. It would be a waste of time.
8 – You don't see any return on investment. It would be a loss leader. We don't do loss leaders.
9 – You have no clue about how to set up a blog.
10 – You think blogging is all hype / a passing fad / for kids.
11 – You are happy to ignore blog activity in the US. The US is a totally different environment for this sort of thing.
12 – You think blogging isn't right for your business.

ParisSee all 715 tickets & tours

The service was 1st class which matched a wonderful spectacular. Would definitely go again when visiting Paris.
We would rate this 10 out of 10, we would recommend this show to anyone visiting paris, not to be missed. Love, love, love it...
Thanks a lot for helping us to and procure this chance to assist to this spectacular show and enjoy a lovely dinner with a huge equipment and a professional group like this one
We got the 3 day ticket and would recommend this if you have the time. Sometimes the traffic is heavy in the city centre so it takes a while to get to attractions. This would be the same in a car or taxi though. We got the subway sometimes also but definitely felt safer on the tour bus.
The venue, the food, the service and the show was enjoyed by all. I was surprised as I did not expect it to be so great. The show was classy. I feel that it was expensive but can see why and would not hesitate to pay again or recommend it to others.

As a local leader in organized crime and high-level narcotics federal prosecutions, John was instrumental in formulating the Syracuse Gang Violence Task Force in 2002 and overseeing all gang-related federal prosecutions since that time, bringing the first-ever successful RICO gang prosecutions to Syracuse. John's portfolio also includes work with the region's successful Weed and Seed programs and multiple high profile money laundering, health care fraud, and political and police corruption prosecutions.
Rob Astorino stood up for law-abiding gun owners when the Journal News published their names and home addresses. It was wrong and it was dangerous. The Journal News had no right to publish the names and home addresses of law-abiding gun owners in Westchester. These were law-abiding citizens, and The Journal News treated them like sex offenders. Further, names on the list included domestic violence victims in hiding and retired judges and detectives. County Executive Rob Astorino immediately spoke out on radio and wrote (and called) the paper's publisher demanding that the online map come down and it came down.
A: Yes. My twenty-plus years of experience as a federal prosecutor tells me that capital punishment can be an effective deterrent. But such decisions are best left to the individual states and not Congress.
So it goes in what may be the nation's most awkward legacy campaign. Political families--from the Roosevelts to the Kennedys, Bushes and Clintons--have long been a part of American politics. Carter's bid to unseat Gov. Nathan Deal, the Republican incumbent, is testing the strength and durability of the Carter name in Georgia, a red state that Democrats hope to turn blue. But it is also a test of something more: a deep bond between a 38-year-old grandson and an 89-year-old grandfather.

Several prosecutors who worked on the case said Garland worked tirelessly to help run the investigation; overseeing search warrants, interacting with other law enforcement agencies and meeting with surviving victims. He appeared in court for the preliminary hearings of the two main suspects, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols.
Garland was involved in major decisions including seeking the death penalty for McVeigh and Nichols. Garland apparently did not object to that proposal. McVeigh was found guilty and executed in 2001. Nichols is serving a sentence of life without parole.)

He was born at Wickford, Essex, in 1937, the seventh child of a seventh child. His father, a clarinettist in a military band, died when he was four, leaving the family, as he remembered, practically penniless and cold in a big house where if the allotment wasn't tended there was nothing to eat. He excelled at mathematics and science at primary school, passed the 11-plus examination and proceeded to a secondary technical school where he gained five O levels.
Here his considerable intellectual gifts became evident when he discovered an ingenious method of mental arithmetic which enabled him, in certain operations, to compete for speed and accuracy with handheld electronic calculators. This achievement won the admiration of his teacher and later made an outstanding parlour trick. Unfortunately he never recorded the Theory of Round Numbers, as he called the process, and the associated significance that he saw in the "magic number" of 137.
National Service saw Knopp in the RAF; he enlisted for a further 10 years as a radar technician, a period which gave him enormous pleasure. Apart from seeing activity in Cyprus and being parachuted into Suez, he also captained the service cricket team and played table tennis for England. More unusually, his quiet belief in the existence of UFOs stemmed from this time, when he witnessed innumerable instances on radar screens of fast-moving unexplained objects.
Leaving the RAF in 1965, he joined IBM, working for 10 years on mainframe computer maintenance. In 1975 he started making printed circuit boards in his garden shed for an electronic organ he was building for his daughter. This in turn led to the establishment, on 1 January 1976, of Knopp Electronic Services Ltd in Braintree, Essex, supplying printed circuit boards for the mass-market consumer electronics industry.
The company flourished and expansion was rapid, particularly between 1982 and 1986 when products such as television sets and telephones were manufactured more widely in the UK. Despite the company's gaining many supplier awards for the quality of products, by 1992 two factors indicated difficult times ahead. First, in an increasingly price-sensitive industry, the main competition was coming from Far Eastern manufacturers, primarily in Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia and India. Secondly, since the late 1980s, the increasing use of Integrated Circuits in consumer products was giving rise to a corresponding rise in demand for double-sided boards, where circuits are printed on both sides of a board instead of on one side. To move into double-sided board production would have required an investment of some pounds 2m in new technology, an investment which was not possible.
Rather than face the declining future which led eventually to the dramatic decrease in numbers of PCB manufacturers in the UK, Knopp started developing an entirely new approach, which he called Etch Before Plate. It took him three years to bring the process to a fully reliable state. He then faced the socially complex hurdle of convincing a conservative industry of his credibility; millions of dollars, in one case, had already been spent by one of the largest corporations in research laboratories supported by a very substantial team of scientists only to conclude that such an approach was impossible.
The early 1990s were frustrating times for Knopp, but recognition gradually came as two of the more significant consumer electronics manufacturers in Europe tried and tested his method and verified its superiority.
Apart from achieving higher quality than competing processes, the new approach was clean environmentally inasmuch as no polluting chemicals are discharged. In an industry which is notoriously polluting, he was very proud that his factory had not discharged any effluent into the sewers or even been connected to them for several years; furthermore water requirements were minimal because the new process allowed all water to be treated and recycled.
Had he lived, a major environmental award would surely have come his way, because the Etch Before Plate process is now being licensed world- wide and being taken up by major consumer electronics manufacturers both in the UK and abroad.
In the life of John Knopp it is possible to see the continuance of the industrial revolution of past centuries where skills and intelligence count for far more than paper qualifications. Although without formal training, he maintained an active interest in many other scientific and engineering areas where he was never afraid to venture, latterly in the production of hydrogen for hydrogen-powered engines where he supported fundamental university research; in reproducing one of Kelvin's experiment in electrostatics which he christened his "thunderstorm experiment"; in providing space and financial support for the Aspire amateur rocket team at the behest of his friend the late Geoffrey Pardoe, former project manager of the Blue Streak Ballistic Missile project and President of the Royal Aeronautical Society, leading to successful launches of the Aspire 2 rocket; and in the work of Len Head and others in high- voltage electron therapy, where Knopp's energy and initiatives opened up many new possibilities which in due course will be acknowledged.
In Braintree he will be remembered for his generous support of many charities, clubs and events, including the company concert brass band. For these activities and more he received local recognition in 1994 in a Business Excellence Award from Braintree District Council for Outstanding Community Support.
John Frederick David Knopp, electronics manufacturer: born Wickford, Essex 28 June 1937; married 1963 Christine Tunnicliffe (one daughter); died Braintree, Essex 26 May 1997.

The Outputs of Retail Activities: Concepts, Measurement and Evidence from U.S. Census Data
The authors develop a new economic framework for the empirical analysis of retail margins. This framework formalizes the role of distribution services as outputs of retail activities. Their main results are the following: the measures of outputs of retail activities identified in the data perform as important and robust determinants of retail margins; variables that purport to capture oligopolistic features of market structure play a limited or no role in determining retail margins; quantity setting and price setting under the assumptions of profit maximization and monopolistic competition are categorically rejected by the data. The data base is information on 49 retail sectors from the 1982 U.S. Census of Retail Trades. Copyright 1993 by MIT Press.

Teleworking Rates Increase as Technology Evolves
Despite widespread availability of video or Web conferencing and project management technology, frequent use of these tools was in the single digits.A surprising nine out of 10 full-time U.S. employees believe their boss trusts them to get their job done regardless of where and when they do their work, according to a survey of 617 full-time employed adults commissioned by Flex+Strategy Group/Work+Life Fit and co-sponsored by Citrix. However, while additional data indicates employees have become upbeat about their increasingly flexible workplaces, inefficiencies abound in how workers use technology and communicate, and there is a lack of training and infrastructure available to support flexible work. Employees are pretty evenly split between where they said they do most of their work, with one-third working from a remote location, a slight increase from 2013, while 34 percent work in a cube/open office environment and 28 percent in a private office. Men continue to represent the majority of teleworkers—three out of five in 2015--but the percentage of women increased significantly (39 percent) from (29 percent) in 2013.
"I don't think we'll see an increase in formal plans that officially change your schedule or the location where you work for a set period of time," Cali Yost, CEO of Flex+Strategy Group, told eWEEK. "But, I do expect to see a continuing proliferation of as needed, informal flexible shifts in how, when and where you get your job done. This trend toward more informal versus formal work flexibility is clear in our research."

For those who prefer steel...
Looking good!
Rambo, Check out Timezone. Really good source for these questions. Sorry, I can't help.
BTW apropos, your last sentence about the name of a painter goes well with your choice of Patek. You are buying the name when you purchase a Patek. I like their watches, but they are way over valued and quite over hyped. In addition, their dealers are among the most arrogant I have met, with very few exceptions. I sold mine years ago and went with pieces I liked more. Also, Patek's are not the most reliable watches and they aren't as accurate as others for 1/4 the price, similar complications. My 2¢.

Bonds of Civility by Eiko Ikegami
Book DescriptionIn this book, Eiko Ikegami uncovers a complex history of social life in which aesthetic images became central to Japan's cultural identities. The people of premodern Japan built on earlier aesthetic traditions in part for their own sake, but also to find space for self-expression in the increasingly rigid and tightly controlled Tokugawa political system. In so doing, they incorporated the world of the beautiful within their social life which led to new modes of civility. They explored horizontal and voluntary ways of associating while immersing themselves in aesthetic group activities. Combining sociological insights in organizations with prodigious scholarship on cultural history, this book explores such wide-ranging topics as networks of performing arts, tea ceremony and haiku, the politics of kimono aesthetics, the rise of commercial publishing, the popularization of etiquette and manners, the vogue for androgyny in kabuki performance, and the rise of tacit modes of communication.

Brandi Carlile sings out loud
The country-rock artist hits Radio City.
Mon Sep 20 2010
Photograph: Jeremy Cowart
Brandi Carlile's voice—alternately growly and mellifluous, with a gut-punching power that's an easy match for her electric guitar—is a force to be reckoned with, and not only when the singer is belting a tune. The fast-rising Washington State country-rocker, 29, has been out for half her life and has never shied away from writing obviously lesbian love songs. But her passions go well beyond music and gay rights; her Looking Out Foundation raises funds for causes including the environment, food banks and women's safety. We touched on it all when we spoke to her in the midst of a 25-city tour for her new album, Give Up the Ghost; it'll land her at Radio City Music Hall this week, opening for Sheryl Crow.
You started singing in front of audiences when you were 8. Are you from a musical family?
My mother's a singer and my mother's father is a singer, and everyone on both sides are all country-western bluegrass musicians. It was kind of a treat when our mom would have band practice a few times a week at the house, because when it was time to go to bed she'd first let [my siblings and me] sing a song with the band. It was our reward, like our version of playing video games or something.
What do you remember about your first time onstage, when you sang at your local Opry Theater?
I learned "Tennessee Flat Top Box," written by Johnny Cash, and when I stepped on the stage I had expected to be able to see all the people, but the lights were in my eyes, and I was so nervous and so excited at the same time because even though I couldn't see them I knew they were there. When the last note of the song went down—being unable to see them but then all of a sudden hearing them all at once—was like a huge awakening. It was like, This is the path I'm on.
Many of the folks you've cited as musical influences—the Indigo Girls, Freddie Mercury, Elton John—are gay. Was that part of the draw?
I think I was probably looking for gay role models when I was younger, before I even knew or thought I was gay. I didn't really make the connection that they were gay, but I felt drawn to them because they were going against the grain, and I knew there was something that they had that everybody else didn't have. It was an edge.
Elton John sings and plays piano on a track on your new album, "Caroline." How'd it happen?
A while back, I said something about Elton in The New York Times; then I got to my gig in Atlanta, and he sent me a bottle of wine from the year I was born—which is literally a freakin' priceless bottle of wine!—and a bouquet of flowers. I was freaking out. Then he called me on the phone a couple of days later, and I was like, Okay, that was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. That was so cool. My contact with Elton John will go down in history as being amazing, and I'm never going to disrupt it again. So there I am a couple years later, making a record, and I just felt like it was a pivotal time in my evolution as a songwriter. So on a whim I reached out and sent him a little e-mail, and he called me back and said he'd love to play on the song. Which is ridiculously generous.
How was working with him?
It was great. I mean, he finished his job within an hour and a half. He was, like, way over my head. I knew he was a great musician, but I just could never have quite prepared myself for how incredible he was. That piano part you hear on "Caroline" was one take. One. And I had the feeling that he hadn't really listened to the song until he got into the studio! [Laughs] And then while he was in there I asked him to sing on it and he was like, "Yeah, I'll give it a go." He was just really nice about it, and he asked me to write down the lyrics to the song. I get, like, situationally dyslexic when I'm nervous like that, I start writing letters backwards and everything, so I had to walk out of the room to write the lyrics down. I came back in and he was practicing the lyrics from the recording, and nothing could've prepared me for walking into the room and hearing Elton John sing words that I'd written. That was a big moment for me.
How did you come out as an artist, and did you have any reservations?
It's always been a part of my thing, you know? I write completely gender-specific songs that are clearly being sung by a homosexual. I've had discussions with fans. I've never actually avoided the subject. But no one had ever asked me about it in the press until this one show in Birmingham, Alabama. I had an interview on the bus with this amazing woman, and we talked about it, and a couple days later I realized it was the L.A. Times. I was thrilled! I was like, This is great that somebody found a way to talk about it that really does the weight of the subject justice. Because it's a significant subject. It deserves to be talked about.

Thanks for the suggestions Marge- one note- I am in Northern California, but
still much applies. I don't think I have the patience to do the plants that
require rainwater ( and since it does rain here for 6-8 months at a time not
very practical), but the ones that like wet feed and dryer crown might be
perfect, since I've already made a bit of an elevated mound in an effort to
have the few things I have planted not completely drown. I did recently
plant 2 yellow calla lilies there as part of my experiment to see if they
will stick around all year rather than go dormant because they dry out too
much. My astilbe also likes damp, but it would singe in this spot- western
exposure. The candelaba primroses intruigue me, not familiar with them.
Well, while I ponder that area, I did get the rest of tomatos and pepper
plant put out last night. Also, planted melon and cucumber seeds. Next
weekend i hope to get some corn planted. I ripped out most of the remaining
snap pea plants- a few days up to 80 and more direct sun has done them in.
Oh well, they were good all winter. The spinach and cilantro aren't looking
to happy either with this warmer weather. I still need to get another
climbing rose- looking for a yellow one, preferably old garden rose or other
antique variety. Have a nice sunny spot where it can grow up my lattice
fence in mind. One rose I got last year at the Davis Arboretum sale is
already a pain in the neck- it's an Abraham Darby. It had white flies
earlier in spring and now has rust. great- we'll see how long I tolerate
that level of fussiness.
Anyway- time for bed-
night all.
Sac, CA

Subject: Re: [CHAT] Berms
Well, personally, I envy anyone who has a naturally wet spot. I have
to build them at considerable time and hard labor. There are so many
plants who like it damp to wet. Donna has a great list. I wish you
could see the difference my "damp garden" makes to one of my
Carex...the one in that garden is now a yard around; the others in
the regular garden beds are maybe a foot around.
Climate is going to dictate some of the plants you can grow, but
don't forget the marvelous aroids...who just might be hardy in S.
CA...some of the Alocasias and Colocasias ought to be and some of
them grow very nicely in standing water - don't require it, but do
require constant moisture - these are the huge elephant ears; many of
whom are variegated or have dark, almost black foliage. There are
others, as well who aren't huge plants.
But, if you want some instant impact, an elephant ear is hard to
beat. Have pix of several in my article about them:
I have found a source for Alocasia macrorrhiza 'Variegata' and
Xanthosoma mafaffa aurea 'Lime Zinger' and am about to send in an
order....gotta have 'em!
Many Canna grow in standing water, too. And, if it gets cool or
nearly freezing, the candelabra primroses might do - they want
continually damp soil. Astilbes thrive in my damp garden where they
gasp and suffer in the rest of the garden. One really marvelous
(quite a huge plant, really) Euphorbia takes wet feet - the common
name is swamp spurge - Euphorbia palustris...really shrub like when
full grown, but dies down in winter.
If the spot is in sun, consider making a peat bog for carnivorous
plants. Sarracenia are magnificent things - the pitchers are lovely
and the flowers are incredible...and the colors the pitchers come in
are WOW. When I was in NC last summer, visited the NC Botanical
Garden who have a paved area of raised peat bogs for
Sars....incredible! One of these days I have got to scan the slides
I took there to share. This type of bog consists of peat and sand,
period...needs to be watered with rain water, which I collect in
summer, as they can't take the chemicals in city water.
S. CA is naturally desert, so you'd probably have to do some hunting
to find out what grows in any naturally boggy spots where you are
that is indigenous to CA. There are probably hundreds of plants from
around the world who would grow for you in spot that was constantly
If you do go the damp garden route, keep in mind that some moisture
lovers want moisture at their roots, but want their crowns in soil
that drains...this can easily be accomplished by making a mound to
plant into.

Microsoft: SQL Server 2016 Gets a June 1 Release Date
Microsoft has finally settled on a release date for SQL Server 2016, the Redmond, Wash., software giant announced May 2.
A year after Microsoft released the first public preview of SQL Server 2016, the database software will be generally available Wednesday, June 1—before summer arrives. Customers can select from four editions: Express, Standard, Enterprise and the free Developer Edition. The latter includes all the features found in SQL Server Enterprise but is meant for development and test deployments, not production workloads.
The official release, along with full enterprise support services from Microsoft, will allow customers "to build mission-critical, and business-critical intelligent applications with the most secure database, the highest performance data warehouse, end-to-end mobile BI [business intelligence] on any device, in-database advanced analytics, in-memory capabilities optimized for all workloads, and a consistent experience from on-premises to cloud," wrote Tiffany Wissner, senior director of Microsoft Data Platform Marketing, in a May 2 blog post.
While those are lofty claims, new benchmark data from one of Microsoft's major hardware partners suggests that Wissner's remarks are no idle boast.
The wait's nearly over. Microsoft's cloud- and analytics-friendly database software will be generally available next month.
Separately, Lenovo announced May 2 that it had set a new data warehouse performance record using a x3950 X6 server running Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Edition and Windows Server 2016 Standard. The server was outfitted with eight Intel Xeon E7-8890 v3 processors clocked at 2.5GHz and 12TB of system memory. The non-clustered system scored 1,056,164.7 queries per hour H (QphH) @30,000GB at $2.04/QphH @30,000GB on the TPC-H decision support benchmark that simulates a large number of ad hoc queries and concurrent data changes in business settings.

Hi Ben, All,
Maekawa (1940) clearly indicates that the anthers of H. plantaginea var.
japonica (prior to dehiscing) have purple margins, so are not pure yellow as
Ben has stated (Maekawa: "... antheris lutescentibus margine
pupurascentibus..."). Further, I have seen purple dotting in some specimens.
Where did that purple come from (hybridization?)? H. plantaginea var.
plantagines has pure yellow anthers (Maekawa: ... antherae flavae ...).
Please explain.
