Sasha Waltz
What do you get when German Tanztheater meets American postmodernism? Sasha Waltz.
Mon Oct 25 2010
The first decade of the 21st century saw its fair share of catastrophes: the attack on the World Trade Center, the Indonesian earthquake and resulting tsunami, and Hurricane Katrina. In 2004, German choreographer Sasha Waltz also found herself in Corsica when a fire broke out on the north end of the island, "specifically a little village on a hill where I was enclosed with my two kids and my husband," she explains. "We were in danger and in fear of our lives." Her return to the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Wednesday 3 heralds the American premiere of a 2005 work exploring, aptly, themes of destruction and renewal. Gezeiten ("Tides") is a reaction to the traumas experienced by Waltz personally and from afar: "I wanted to find out how a group of people affected by an unnamed outside crisis are able or unable to overcome this situation." The choreographer fielded questions from Berlin.
When did you start considering Gezeiten's theatrical dimensions?
For me, dance, theater, music and space all belong together. These elements have to work in the right balance. In Gezeiten, though, I decided to structure it like a triptych: It starts with an abstract and metaphysical part, followed by a theatrical and almost naturalistic part, and finishes with a surreal part, like a dream—or better, a nightmare. Music plays a constant role. I was confronting a contemporary sound-score by Jonathan Bepler, a composer well known for his works with Matthew Barney, as well as with classical music by Bach.
How has your work changed over the years? Are those changes apparent in Gezeiten?
My early work was highly theatrical, almost in the tradition of German Tanztheater, but always with strong physical material and abstract moments. The topics of my first six pieces were born in a personal, social and historical context. When I started to work at the Schaubhne [theater in Berlin], my work became more abstract and more existential. The human body, sexuality, the metaphysics of life and death, etc. Gezeiten is a piece which combines all three elements: abstract expressions of emotions, narration of theatrical situation between tragedy and comedy, and a highly visual surrealism.
Where does your movement come from?
The movement always comes from the human body. I am very rooted in American postmodern dance and everything that was started by the Judson Church movement. Merce Cunningham and Trisha Brown are strong references and idols for me—but also Steve Paxton. The research period for my pieces is usually three months long and a very intensive group process with my dancers, whom I consider as creative partners as well as choreographers.
Why are you drawn to postmodern American dance?
I am so interested in the awareness studies of that time—the awareness of body and mind and all techniques that were born from it. There was a radical redefinition of dance that happened in the '60s. It broadened and opened the perspective of what dance could be, as John Cage opened the mind for a new listening to sound. We perceive the world differently now.
The idea behind Sasha Waltz & Guests is that it's an independent company with 25 permanent and 40 associate collaborators. How does it work?
Sasha Waltz & Guests has existed now for more than 15 years. It started like a dance company and became a cultural enterprise. We also produce artworks for museums, films, operas and even recently took part in the competition for the national monument of reunification. I started this company with my partner, Jochen Sandig, because we both wanted to be independent. But we also work with many different international art organizations to create new pieces. We always say that Sasha Waltz & Guests is a cluster, a bevy of artists of wide-ranging disciplines, hailing from the world over and who have converged in Berlin to develop new means of dialogue in all art forms.
In terms of Berlin's current generation of choreographers, where do you fit in?
I don't really feel connected to the current generation of choreographers. Most of them are working on soloistic projects and theoretical pseudo-intellectual concepts, which became a big fashion in Europe in the last ten years. Movement and dance as a way of expression is losing more and more of its meaning in this scene. Meg Stuart, who is also based in Berlin, is a big exception. I invest a lot in the next generation by strongly supporting the artistic development of actual and former dancers of my company—permanent dancers as well as guests. I believe that dance in its pure form is not dead.
Early in your career, Pina Bausch's name was attached to yours—you were labeled the next generation. Did it bother you?
Pina Bausch has influenced generations of artists of all disciplines all over the world. It would be too limiting to reduce her only to the dance world. I don't like it when artists are compared to each other. Each artist needs his own universe to develop.
How did you react to her death? Did you know her personally?
We had an amicable relationship. I was deeply shocked when I heard about her death. I tried to explain it to my children, and I only could say: "She was the mother of modern dance in Germany."
Sasha Waltz & Guests are at Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) Wed 3, Nov 5 and 6.


text: Researchers have long studied the factors that influence the satisfaction of tourists, and more specifically, the satisfaction of hotel guests. A University of Delaware study led by visiting researcher Murat Usta focused on this very issue. The study, which covered 50 hotel attributes, asked guests to rate their satisfaction with each attribute based on their last hotel stay. The preliminary results of the study suggest that hotel guests are most satisfied with the following top five attributes: meeting facilities, convenience to meeting site, fast online reservations, 24-hour airport transportation, and hotel location. The bottom five attributes on the guest satisfaction list are: adequate in-room desk/work space, in-room high-speed Internet access (HSIA), comfortable mattress and pillows, flat panel high-definition television (HDTV), and easily-accessible electrical outlets. It is interesting to note that only one of the top five attributes is related to technology (fast online reservations), while three of the bottom five attributes on the list are technology related (HDTV, HSIA, and easily-accessible electrical outlets). One can even argue that adequate guestroom desk/work space is also technology-related as it provides hotel guests with the space needed to use their own personal technology devices. These results indicate that even though hotels have made significant advances when it comes to delivering online reservations, there is still much to be done with in-room technologies. An earlier University of Delaware study found that HSIA is one of the most important factors when it comes to hotel selection; this study shows that hotel guests ranked HSIA satisfaction at the bottom of the list. Similarly, easily accessible electrical outlets were ranked very high in the selection of hotels in the previous study; in this study, it was found that hotels need to do more to increase satisfaction. When we cross tabulate the list of attributes, we see something very interesting. The satisfaction score of HSIA increases as the star ranking of the hotel decreases. In other words, guests who stayed at luxury hotels ranked HSIA lower than guests who stayed at economy hotels. This may be due to the fact that luxury and upscale hotels charge for HSIA, while economy and budget hotels give it away. Also when guests pay for HSIA, the expectation of the quality increases. Luxury and upscale hotels need to enhance the quality of HSIA significantly as it will impact the overall satisfaction of the hotel stay. When it comes to flat panel HDTV and easily-accessible electrical outlets, luxury and upscale hotels did better than economy and budget hotels. Impacting guest behavior Knowing how much guests are satisfied or not satisfied with hotel attributes is definitely important. However, it is equally important to determine how these attributes impact the likelihood of return visits, guest recommendations, and overall satisfaction. When we conducted a further analysis, we found that three attributes (the price of accommodations, HSIA, and easily-accessible electrical outlets) have the most significant impact on the likelihood of guest return visits. This is important to note because the hotel room is being labeled as a commodity. This particular finding also supports the notion that the single most important attribute in guests' decisions to go back to a hotel is price. For this reason, it is very important for a hotel to differentiate its offerings. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, HSIA became such an important attribute that hotels must do a perfect job in offering this service. When we conducted a further analysis to see which of the attributes has the most significant impact on the overall satisfaction of the guest, we found out that cleanliness of the hotel, in-room temperature control, easily accessible electrical outlets, and free parking had the biggest impact. Cleanliness of the hotel and free parking are not surprising as they appeared in every hotel satisfaction study in the last 20 years. In-room temperature control and easily accessible electrical outlets play a significant role in predicting guests' overall satisfaction level. Hotels should offer the option to control room temperature in the guest room, preferably by the bed side with the help of a guest control system or via the TV remote. This study shows that fundamentals do not change in the hotel industry; price, cleanliness of guestrooms, and location are always among the most important attributes when it comes to guest satisfaction. However, technology amenities have become significantly important in predicting guest loyalty and overall satisfaction. In addition, hotel rooms are increasingly being commoditized and technology is a critical factor in helping hoteliers to differentiate their properties. For more insights from Cihan, click here.

Home no help in February retail sales
March 6, 2008
,New York – The new retail year started much the way the entire fiscal 2007 year seemed to go, with department stores struggling, off-price chains and warehouse clubs thriving --and Wal-Mart continuing to impress.
"Softness remained in the home area, due in part to pullback in the housing market and the economy," Wal-Mart commented about its February results, while Sam's Club reported, "Home furnishing-related items and apparel experienced softer sales relative to other categories."
Wal-Mart, which posted corporate comp gain of 3.0% and a U.S. stores rise of 2.5%, thumped its chest, announcing details of its planned opening of 81 new U.S. stores and clubs for March, and declaring its next annual dividend will increase 8% over the year prior, to $0.95.
Target managed a comp rise of just 0.5%. "Our comparable store sales performance in February was in line with our planned range," said Bob Ulrich, chairman and ceo.
Of the retailers tracked monthly by HTT, Costco had the strongest comparable store sales gain in February, at 7.0%, with Ross Stores and TJX Cos. in the thick of it boasting 4.0% and 3.0% upticks, respectively.
Home, in an exception, was a leader at Ross Stores. John Call, svp and cfo, said, "The strongest merchandise categories during February were dresses with a mid-20% same store sales gain and shoes, men's and home, all with high-single- to low-double-digit increases."
The small-but-growing HomeGoods division of TJX reported a 2% comp gain for the month, beating the results at the core Marmaxx stores – where home fashions comps decreased 5%, according to Carol Meyrowitz, president and ceo.
There was little relief for home in the department store sector.
"Home categories and the Southeast region continue to experience the softest results," JCPenney reported. The company said top categories were women's and children's apparel and family footwear – and noted its American Living launch "has enjoyed a good initial customer response."
Dillard's noted, "Sales in cosmetics and in the home and other category were significantly below trend."
Other retailers did not single home out as a factor either way. At Bon-Ton, soft home was not mentioned, although furniture and hard home were cited among the "categories that performed well." Softlines specialty retailer Stein Mart also made no mention of home in its remarks. Kohl's did not offer category guidance.
Macy's outdid them – going forward, the retailer will no longer report monthly sales at all.
The Johnson Redbook Same Store Sales Index (SSI) showed a 2.2% February comp gain among the 42 retailers it tracks. Among the components were department stores, down 4.8%, and discounters, up 3.0%. The SSI encompasses a much wider range of retail types than the Redbook discounter/department store index, which showed an overall February comp store gain of just 0.5%.

Software giant Microsoft will provide updates to its security products – antimalware engine and signatures – for Windows XP users until July 14, 2015.
This means that XP will get another year's life. Previously, the company said it would halt all updates on the same day as the end of support date for Windows XP April 8, 2014.
This means that Microsoft Security Essentials will continue to get updates after full support ends for Windows XP. For enterprise customers, the same goes for System Centre Endpoint Protection, Forefront Client Security, Forefront Endpoint Protection, and Windows Intune running on Windows XP.
Microsoft is still ending technical assistance for Windows XP on April 8 and will stop providing Microsoft Security Essentials for download on Windows XP on this date.
But updates to its security products for an additional 15 months should keep many people still using XP interested it keeping that way. After all, while Windows XP will no longer be a supported operating system come April, companies will be at least partially protected until a year after July.
Vole has been trying to get people away from Windows XP to "better" products, and the best way to do that is to stick to its end of support date. On the other hand, there are still so many millions of Windows XP users out there that leaving them completely vulnerable could cause more harm than good.

BOSTON (AP) – Massachusetts State Police are launching a crackdown on distracted driving, particularly texting while driving. Troopers in marked and unmarked vehicles will show zero tolerance for offenders during the stepped up enforcement effort that is scheduled run through June 28.
Lt. Stephen Walsh, operational officer of the initiative, says the goal is to educate the public and save lives. He says most drivers won't comply with the law unless they face real penalties.
In Massachusetts, composing, sending or reading an electronic message while driving is subject to a $100 fine for the first offense. Subsequent violations could result in $500 fines.
The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in 2012, more than 3,300 people were killed and 421,000 were injured in crashes involving distracted drivers.

Album Summary
- Markus Hadulla (Piano)
- Antoine Tamesit (Viola)
Notes & Reviews:
One of today's leading viola players worldwide, Antoine Tamestit has dedicated his new recording to German composer Paul Hindemith, whose 50th anniversary of death is celebrated in 2013. Hindemith has been renowned as a brilliant viola player whose composition output for this instrument ranges from solo pieces to concertos. The recording features one of the major German orchestras conducted by leading conductor Paavo Järvi. "Those who examine Hindemith's extremely diverse oeuvre without prejudice will discover the most varied facets in his music. The early works still radiate late Romantic and Impressionistic sonorities, but one can already detect in them (in the last movement of the Sonata op.11 no.4, for example) the terse humour and provocative edge that were shortly to become characteristic of his music. He enjoyed directly juxtaposing movements full of boundless energy with others of extreme restraint (as in the contrasting movements of the Viola Sonata op.25 no.1). Finally, a vein of melancholy and the expression of resignation can be heard in Der Schwanendreher and the Trauermusik, composed in times of oppression." -- Excerpt from the inside notes
BBC Music Magazine, June 2014
Tamestit brings his wonderful musical intelligence to bear on some of the greatest music written for the instrument...From both a performance and repertoire point of view, there is surely no better single-disc introduction to Hindemith's viola music for anyone still unfamiliar with it.
Sunday Times, 26th January 2014
In all four works, Hindemith captures the mournful pathos of the viola's sound. Tamestit's sumptuous tone is complemented by Hadulla's diamantine pianism in Op 11, No 4, and by the sympathetic Frankfurt RSO under JSrvi.
American Record Guide, January/February 2015
Opus 11:4 is three movements in one, linked by a gorgeous opening melody in the Fantasia and two sets of themes and variations. Tamestit and Hadulla make the music flow effortlessly, turning all the tempo changes, touches of rubato, drama, tenderness, and cadenza-like passages - indeed, its fantasia character - into 18 minutes of happy musical rhetoric. Opus 25:1 for solo viola is more of a challenge. It's very repetitive introduction is followed by fast-slow-fast-slow sections. I've never heard the first movement of Der Schwanendreher performed with such rhythmic lilt in the theme and variations and perfect balance with the "small orchestra" (as Hindemith calls it). Nothing is forced; in fact, the playing is almost understated. Trauermusik for viola and strings is an elegy that was written in just six hours the day King George V of England died - January 21, 1936.
Recording information: Hessischer Rundfunk (Sendesaal), Frankfurt, Germany (2012-12-??&2013-04-??&2013-).
This release spans the breadth of Paul Hindemith's writings for the viola, from solo sonata through music for viola and orchestra. Hindemith was a violist himself, and his compositions fully realize the instrument's potential. Violist Antoine Tamestit fully understands these works and their creator, as his interview printed in the booklet shows -- as do his performances.
Tamestit notes that there is a lot of humor in Hindemith's music, and he brings it out in all of these works. Still, I'd have to characterize the orchestral works here as ones of mournful beauty. "Der Schwanendreher" is a reworking of folk songs relating to isolation and loss, composed when Hindemith was being force out of musical life by the Nazis. Tamestit subtly brings out those emotions, making the music sound wistful rather than maudlin.
"Trauermusik" explores similar themes. Hindemith's thickly-textured harmonies provide a melancholy accompaniment to the yearning melody of the viola. Paavo Jarvi and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra perform with a warm, blended sound that's ideally suited to these works.
Tamestit's performance of the solo sonata Op. 25, No. 1 is a wonderful balance of emotional expression and tasteful restraint. The structural elements are all clearly delineated, and the motives are carefully phrased to help the listener connect them as the work goes along. And yet there's a fiery passion continually roiling under the music, straining to break free.
Hindemith's sonata for viola and piano, Op. 11, No. 4 is a beautiful collaboration between Tamestit and pianist Markus Hadulla. At times the music seems to have a sweetness to it that's quite charming. As with the best chamber music performances, one has a sense of eavesdropping on a conversation. In this case, one between two good friends.

This is by far my favorite lip product. Ever. It goes on nice and smooth, has a gorgeous iridescence (without being sparkly) that makes lips shine, brings out a flawless natural color in the lips, all while not being sticky at all. The moisture this gloss/balm provides is unparalleled; I can put some on at night and I wake up with my lips still feeling the surge of moisture.

The BBC are making a documentary on Detroit centred on a century of the Motor industry, but more broadly on the city and it's people.
It feels particularly timely when the future of the car companies seems so bleak, to make a film in celebration of the hey-day of this industry and the city.
I am the researcher on this project, and am hoping through this forum to reach people who will give me their take on the story that needs to be told, people who can give insight into the history of the city and what it means to be a citizen of Detroit ( I'm learning a lot by reading the threads on this forum) - and people who might have home movie footage of Detroit in whatever format.
If you have any information, footage, or insights you'd like to share, then please contact me at the following email address:
Many thanks - I look forward to hearing from you

Found this on yahoo's home page, tells how clen may be able to save lives, interesting
Abused drug used to treat heart failure By LAURAN NEERGAARD, AP Medical Writer
1 hour, 9 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - U.S. doctors are beginning a dramatic experiment this month to try to save patients dying from congestive heart failure — by temporarily resting their hearts and then boosting them with a drug long abused for bodybuilding.
The goal: To help the heart heal itself, and rescue patients who otherwise wouldn't survive without a heart transplant or an implanted machine to pump their hearts.
"The provocative question is, once you get to that level, is it too late or are there people still recoverable even at that point?" asks Dr. Clyde Yancy of the American Heart Association, who is closely monitoring the experiment.
The study is very small, and there's no way to predict if it will work. But British scientists reported a tantalizing hint last fall that the combination of a temporarily implanted heart pump and an asthma drug not approved for sale in this country — the athlete-abused clenbuterol — just might offer hope of recovery for this common, intractable killer.
"We think this is a completely novel way to look at the treatment of heart failure," says Dr. Leslie Miller of Washington Hospital Center in the nation's capital, one of seven U.S. study sites.
Almost 5 million Americans, and 20 million people worldwide, have congestive heart failure. Their hearts are weakened by age, damage from a survived heart attack, or other problems. It can strike seemingly healthy young people, too, for no discernible reason.
Some drugs and pacemakers treat heart failure very well. But often the disease worsens over years, the heart getting weaker until patients find it difficult even to walk across a room. Fluid seeps into their lungs and blocks breathing.
They have few options: A transplant — and there are only about 2,200 U.S. donors a year, while 58,000 Americans die of heart failure annually — or an implanted heart pump. These devices give the heart a rest, taking over the pumping action that's normally the job of the left ventricle. But the implants only last a few years.
Here's where the plot thickens: Patients can improve remarkably on these pumps. Flabby enlarged hearts shrink. Cardiac muscle cells long thought unsalvageable instead seem to repair. The occasional patient gets well enough to avoid a transplant, and very rarely one recovers enough to have the implanted pump removed, too.
The question is how to control that repair so more people might benefit.
Last fall, British doctors reported a small but stunning success: They implanted heart pumps in 15 about-to-die patients, and used high doses of standard drugs to help the pumps shrink their hearts. Then they administered clenbuterol to stimulate, and perhaps strengthen, the heart muscle. Eleven patients recovered enough to have their implants removed, and four years later, eight still are doing well.
"To see something like this was so dramatic," says Dr. Keith Aaronson, medical director of the University of Michigan's heart transplant program. He oversees the U.S. study, which will attempt to duplicate those results in at least 30 Americans.
Clenbuterol is used in other countries for veterinary medicine and occasionally to treat asthma — but it has never been approved for sale in the U.S., and generates concern because of illegal use by athletes and others seeking its steroid-like effects.
So why could it possibly help the heart, instead of do harm? It's not clear that it does, but Miller found a clue by studying pieces of heart muscle from advanced patients. The few who recovered harbored high levels of three powerful growth factors that may spur new cardiac cell growth, and a handful studied after experimental clenbuterol use seem to harbor even more.
The experiment has risks. Both implanting and removing the heart pumps can cause life-threatening complications, including bleeding or infection; some people in the British study died. Nor are clenbuterol's side effects well-known; muscle tremors occurred in some British patients.
"It is incumbent upon us to be very, very careful" in informing participants, Aaronson cautions, because "you're giving people hope of something that would be really, really wonderful."
Other heart-failure specialists are pinning more hope on next-generation implantable heart pumps. A much smaller version of Thoratec Inc.'s HeartMate pump that's being used in the clenbuterol experiment is headed for the U.S. market, perhaps by summer. The battery-sized HeartMate II has fewer moving parts, pumps blood in a more continuous motion, and has other changes that proponents say should make it safer and last longer.
Dr. Bud Frazier of the Texas Heart Institute says he has weaned a few people off the newer heart pump already without clenbuterol, and hopes to try weaning another 17 young patients. He calls avoiding a transplant crucial for the young especially, because eventually they fail, too.
Regardless of how this research pans out, the heart association's Yancy wants more patients to seek care earlier because too many don't know that standard treatments have improved in recent years.
"What we have in hand right now can really improve outcomes for the large majority of people with heart failure. We just have to get it to them," says Yancy, of Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas.

Speedplay FROG Stainless MTB PedalsNot just a great off-road pedal system, Speedplay Frog pedals are ideal for road riders who prefer a recessed, walkable cleat. Like their amphibious namesake, Frog pedals are equally at home in dry or muddy terrain. Their unique cleats are virtually immune to clogging with mud or dirt, because debris is pushed out whenever you engage the pedal. This simple mechanism also puts an end to those infuriating falls caused by gunked-up pedals that wont release. You get out when you want to, and never when you dont. Of course, you also get all the advantages of Speedplays other innovative designs: knee-friendly, non-centering free float; lightning-fast entry and exit; and phenomenal light weight. Whether you ride a mountain bike, road bike, tandem or cross bike, the Speedplay Frog can do it all.Features: Conceived with the goal of bringing mountain bike pedal performance on par with that of road pedals, the Frog is the most versatile pedal you can buy.

There are 2 things that I wish this unit had: multiple "announcements" that cooking time is over instead of the one audible announcement that it has. And I wish it was easier to watch what is happening- the door is difficult to see through. BUT THOSE ARE SMALL ISSUES. THE MAIN THING I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT IS THE BEST MICROWAVE I HAVE EVER OWNED (including a Panasonic I got in the 70's that is still working!!!). The controls are very INTUITIVE. It has no electronic keypad, something that seems to fail often (although I have never had one fail). The "minute" button in addition to the "dial in the time" feature is extra convenient, and the way of setting various power levels is very simple and easy. "Try it, you'll like it!"

Had one for about a year and a half (go figure), now, like other review comments, the door switch won't allow it to run unless you slam the door. I've either got to pay a hefty price to get it repaired or junk it. I've always been happy with Panasonic stuff before, but feel I got a built-in service bill on this unit! Planned obsolescence? These should be recalled and fixed!

Works well and looks cool
By Mike

Part of a kitchen remodel. Panasonic makes great microwaves. It's the only non Kitchenaid appliance we got. It might take some time to get used to the dial interface, but it seems to be easier to use than normal buttons, or at least as easy. The appliance looks cool too, with the blue back light dial. We haven't used it for much other than reheating.

Poorly Designed... on my second one
By Tired of Replacing
from Texas
Unfortunately I need to replace my existing Panasonic built-in with another, or I wouldn't have bought my second unit. My other microwave "broke" because the door locking mechanism attaches to a rather flexible piece of sheet metal that isn't supported. With continued usage, the metal flexes and the door mechanism stops working. Constant readjustment further weakens the metal. All Panasonic had to do was provide a small piece of support, or even an extra bend in the metal. Instead, I get to buy a new Panasonic Microwave every few years to overcome their quality design problems. I like the features and functionality. I just don't like having to replace an appliance due to design problems.

Can someone explain in … WTH !!! an IFRAME …
_An inline frame places another HTML document in a frame. Unlike an object element, an inline frame can be the "target" frame for links defined by other elements and it can be selected by the user agent as the focus for printing, viewing its source, etc. The content of the element is used as alternative text to be displayed if the browser does not support iframes.

Basically an iframe is a box on your page that is, effectively, a holder for content that is pulled in from another Internet page. It doesn't have to be a page on your site, it could be from anywhere.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
Youtube uses iframes to post videos on a site. If you check their embed code, you will see that it is inside an iframe. Paulie_D put it the best. Youtube would be the best example. The video is stored on the youtube website. It's in their servers. You you can watch the video on any website anywhere. Thanks to an Iframe. It holds the content and get the information it needs from youtube and sends that information to your site.

That's What You're Wearing?
Most of us know that as runners we shouldn't wear cotton when we run. It doesn't dry as fast as other fabrics, it doesn't breathe, but most importantly it makes you look like a rube. It really doesn't matter how fast you can run if you're doing it in a cotton T-Shirt. Take my long run this past Saturday as an example; I was running down the trail when I spotted a fellow runner heading towards me. He seemed to be moving pretty fast which provoked my male ego and caused me to feed a little speed to my ride, and by ride I mean my sweet, new Pearl Izumis. Was that not clear? I hate it when my analogies don't land.
As we passed each other I noticed that he was wearing a cotton shirt with sweat stains resembling a world atlas, only less colorful. (Had he been wearing one of those 80s Hypercolor shirts then this analogy could have been awesome.) His iPod was strapped around his arm just a few degrees west of the Perspiration Peninsula and he was wearing a Garmin, but all the running gadgetry in the world doesn't distract the eye from a cotton shirt. Clearly, he wasn't half the runner that I am with my Under Armor compression shirt and technical shorts regardless of how much faster he appeared to be. Just like that I had judged him by his cover, his sweaty, 100% cotton cover. Our paths crossed again later on that same trail loop and I still couldn't take my mind of the fact that he was running in a cotton shirt, except for a brief moment when it occurred to me that continental drift doesn't actually take thousands of years, it only takes a few miles.
I ended up running 7 miles, which easily constitutes a long run these days, and it doesn't matter how far or how fast Sweaty McSweatsalot ran that day, I refuse to believe that he is a better runner than I am.
Site News: Feed Address Change
The feed address for Half-Fast has changed, actually it changed several months ago and I kept meaning to tell you in a separate post but I could never remember to do it. I'm told the old feed will continue to work just fine which seems to be true, except that it takes longer to update than the new feed does. So in reality it shouldn't matter what feed you're using if you don't mind waiting for your daily dose of sarcasm but I know that some of you take your Half-Fast like you take your women: As quickly as possible and over too soon. Here endeth the triple crown of bad analogies. Oh, and the new feed address is: feedproxy.google.com/half-fast.

it's like there's a whole other world out there i didn't know about. runners and their likes and dislikes. i wonder how many other worlds are out there?
enjoyed the post.
(i figured i should say something nice since most times i'm a smartass on here. probably a defense mechanism cuz i know i'm never gonna get off my, um, couch, and go run myself)Technical shirts are overrated. If you sweat to any degree, it doesn't really matter what you wear.
I live in Texas and I don't shy away from running at 5PM in July (100F+ usually). I'll often wear a cotton shirt. I haven't noticed my sweating level and dryness level differ much between the two. When you sweat enough, technical gear will not save the day.
The only difference I've noticed is cotton will weigh more when wet, but not enough to slow me down (if that's what's slowing you down, might as well go shirtless).
White cotton shirts cost about $1-2 each, they last forever, and can be bleached. Sounds like a win/win to me.
Besides, the rules are set by winners, not whiners.Hehe. I LOVE it when I get to pass runners who have all the proper gear & gadgets, when I don't. I'm all like "your money can't buy you this, suckers!" as I speed past.
(*I know b/c this actually happened to me. Once. A few years back. And I'll gloat about it forever, just like Mr Cotton probably is right now.)But you're running in CO, where there's no humidity, therfore, do you even sweat? When I ran the Colfax half last spring, I ran in a cotten tee, and barely sweat at all, so I was perfectly comfortable.
Come to run in FL, where we have 80% humidity in the summer, and you will come to see how awful cotton is. And how awful shirts are.I like to wear cotton shirts because I feel they give me more street creds. As in the "I know there are better materials out there, but I'm so good that I don't need them" kind of way.
Also, I feel liek a bit of a tool if I wear super technical clothes to run around my neighbor, which is filled with blue-collar workers and starving artists.

Bringing PDX verve to its just-dropped Portland Collection chock-fulla urban-homesteader outerwear, shirts, and pants in throwback patterns, heritage Oregon brand Pendleton drew on the vintage-hip skills of three young local designers/ friends, one of whom once worked as a stylist for the Decemberists, although they were relatively easy to dress, considering they're Always the Bridesmaid. The freshness:
Outerwear: The PC offers cool-weather gear like a thigh-length wool Ranch coat with removable shearling collar (featuring a loomed Native American pattern modified from a 1923 Pendleton design), while the longer, belted, knee-length Raglan trench sports colors from muted red plaid to camel, and's made to be a "shared piece", meaning it's 100% likely your girl will jacket.
Shirts and Cardigans: Two styles of button-downs compete for glory, including a relaxed-fit Hunting Shirt that sports a unique dual pocket, which is nicely complemented by the funky triangle patterns of the Arrow Cardigan, which is what Robin Hood wore while stealing from the preppy, and giving to the also-preppy-but-slightly-poorer.
Trousers: Available in a wild burnt umber throwback plaid, these guys rock a basic flat-front design with a slim-yet-not-tight profile, which delivers a relaxed feel thanks to Pendleton's recyclable/compostable Eco-Wise wool, which mercifully just replaced the kid with the power of heart and that monkey on Captain Planet.
The PC crew also turned out accessories and homewear including some massive scarves, robes/ blankets for when you're pretending you're on a Woodstock movie poster, and a burly black & tan patterned luggage bag, which you'll need if you plan on making a smooth getaway from The Perfect Crime…#2.

World powers have pressurised Europe to take strong measures to fix its debt-heavy economy and restore growth to a level that would lift the cloud hanging over the fragile global recovery.
The IMF's governing panel said on Saturday that the euro area must cut government debt burdens, make bold economic reforms and stabilize its financial systems to restore growth, just a day after top economies agreed to lend more money to the International Monetary Fund to help contain Europe's debt crisis
Debt problems will resurface unless these steps are taken, Tharman Shanmugaratnam, the head of the IMF's governing panel and Singapore's finance minister, warned.
"What was really critical in all our minds was to get back to normal growth over the medium term and preferably sooner rather than later, in other words within two to three years," he told a news conference.
"If we don't get back to normal growth, if we don't get GDP back to its potential levels, than fiscal sustainability is not possible either," he warned.
Piling on the pressure
In its policy statement the IMF panel warned against overly harsh budget cuts that could have negative consequences.
"In advanced economies further actions are needed in many countries to achieve credible fiscal consolidation and government debt reduction, while avoiding excessively contractionary fiscal policies," it said.
The United States also piled on pressure.
"The success of the next phase of the crisis response will hinge on Europe's willingness and ability, together with the European Central Bank to apply its tools ... flexibly and aggressively to support countries as they implement reforms," Timothy Geithner, the US Treasury Secretary, told the IMF's steering committee.
The committee called upon central banks in advanced economies to retain their accommodative monetary policies, as long as growth remains weak and inflationary expectations under control.
ECB officials resisted pressure at the meetings in Washington to do more to help the euro zone economy, which is at risk of a recession. The IMF last week said the ECB should cut interest rates further from their current level of 1 percent.
Heightened scrutiny
Europe was not the only economy under heightened scrutiny for excessive budget deficits that if left unaddressed could threaten global growth.
"The United States and Japan in particular need to tackle their public deficits and debt," Wolfgang Schaeuble, the German finance minister, told his fellow finance ministers.
"This requires a credible medium-term strategy. We understand the political constraints but there is no way around it and there is urgency," Schaeuble said, echoing the IMF's recommendations.
Europe, however, presents the most urgent challenge and was the only economy singled out for policy advice by the IMF panel.
Jun Azumi, Japan's finance minister, said strengthening the IMF's war chest for crisis fighting only buys Europe time.
The recent rises in European sovereign debt yields indicate the debt problems continue to pose "considerable" risk to the global economy, he said, as he warned the European policymakers must remain vigilant in their actions.
"Policymakers of individual countries should avoid slipping into complacency and exploit the temporary breathing space that was acquired by the efforts made so far," Azumi said.
Investors are more concerned about the situation in Europe than elsewhere. Spanish and Italian bonds faced pressure on Friday. The yield on Spain's 10-year bond topped 6 per cent before retreating..
The IMF committee called on members to ratify "expeditiously" a 2010 plan to increase the representation on emerging economies on the IMF's executive board to better reflect their growing clout in the world economy. Brazil had pressed this point as essential before it agreed to more IMF funding.
The voting reforms are unlikely to get approved by the IMF's October meetings unless Washington, facing a bitter presidential election race, can persuade Congress to agree.
"I did not hear any clear announcement from the US that they will be able to deliver before the annual meetings," Schaeuble said, adding that Europe will have agreed by then.

Breathing silently. Hardly moving. Waiting.
He's listening for a sound he's afraid that he might never hear the ringing bells of Santa's sleigh.
The time is five minutes to midnight.
Suddenly, the boy is startled by a thunderous roar. Clearing the mist from his window he sees the most amazing sight a gleaming black train rumbles to a stop right in front of his house, the steam from its powerful engine hissing through the night sky and the softly falling snowflakes.
The boy rushes outside, clad only in his pajamas and slippers, and is met by the train's conductor who seems to be waiting just for him. Well, are you coming? the conductor asks.
Why, to the North Pole, of course. This is the Polar Express!
This holiday season the Academy Award-winning team of Tom Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Cast Away) reunite for The Polar Express, an inspiring adventure based on the beloved Caldecott Medal children's book by Chris Van Allsburg that has touched the heart of readers young and old since 1985.
When a doubting young boy takes an extraordinary magical ride to the North Pole, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe. The power of belief resonates through this heartwarming story as the train ride takes its passengers through beautiful scenes of the Arctic, the night sky and the Northern Lights.
Tom Hanks does a fabulous portrayal of a host of characters which include the Hero Boy, the enigmatic Conductor, the Father, the Hobo, Scrooge and Santa Claus himself. Peter Scolaris's Lonely Boy from " the wrong side of the tracks" is moving as he tells the Hero Girl (Nona Gaye) and the Hero Boy that "Christmas just doesn't work out for me." It's a heartbreaking moment or statement that signifies a lifetime of disappointments. It's not like he doesn't want to believe as in his song "Believe," where he pleads for a reason to believe despite that he hasn't been given much to believe in.
Combining classic storytelling with cutting-edge filmmaking, The Polar Express debuts a highly advanced version of motion capture technology developed and tailored to meet Zemeckis' uncompromising vision and is the first feature ever to be shot entirely in this format. Zemeckis takes animation a step further to capture fantastic sceneries, such as the train racing over a lakes of cracking ice and through mountain ranges.
Sony Pictures Imageworks, with senior visual effects supervisors Ken Ralston, a five-time Oscar winner, and Jerome Chen, a 2000 nominee, help bring this enchanting holiday story vividly to life in full CG animation through a brand new system called Performance Capture, Imageworks' next-generation motion capture process. This innovative technique allows the actors' live-action performances to drive the emotions and movements of the digital characters in a way never seen before, throwing open the door to a whole new era of freedom and creative options for actors and filmmakers.

Those buildings were really not designed to protect against that level of failure.
And there's some agreement that the very open plan of the floors might have contributed to the failure as there were no internal supports for the floors save for the center column which mostly contained the elevators.
I understand that the same sort of thing exists in the UK, the so-called 'yob culture'.
I'm not sure that sort of thing is as tolerated in other european countries, though, where there is less reverence for freedom. There seems to be a segment of the USA and UK that believe "freedom" means the freedom to fark over others and their property and to raise hell without restraint.
It's too bad. Such people are one day going to destroy the tradition of freedom in those countries.
And politicians enjoy the power to write regulation enabling law so as to extort campaign contributions from companies.
Of course Hillary has no response to Bernie Sanders' honesty.
Whether one agrees with Bernie Sanders' ideology or not, you can trust Sanders to be honest.
Hillary believes lying is just part of playing the game and she will do anything to win.
Sorry, but BeOS is in an entirely different class than is TOS.
Atari's TOS was quick and responsive because it was simple, lacking many features we take for granted today like preemptive multitasking and multi processor support.
BeOS was responsive because it was a complex, full featured OS that was also well thought out and well designed.
as people start to use steganographic methods.
The problem is that many devices require ridiculously high minimum threshold voltages just to work.
TI, for example, sells a remote control IR encoder that requires a supply voltage of 2.7V. That means two AA batteries in series run down to below 1.35V apiece will not run a device with that IR encoder.
A typical AA battery will deliver only about 0.40 AH before it runs down to 1.35V. That 0.40 AH is of a 2.1 AH total. That's a huge waste.
Who would have thought having trees, shrubs and other natural barriers between an airport and the people would reduce noise levels?
It's as if clear cutting was found not to work.
Who thinks that? People that have never studied noise abatement and think their cleverness is enough to allow them to intuit the science.
Trees and shrubs do very little. A thorough study from the state of Virginia showed
No matter how the sites were examined, there was no measurable difference in road noise. All differences at the more distant measurement locations were due simply to the distance effect rather than to any additional mitigating effects of trees, whether measured by planting density, age, height, or average tree diameter.
Sean Waite, the agent in charge for the DEA in Albuquerque, said he could not comment on the Rivers case because it is ongoing. He disputed allegations that Rivers was targeted because of his race. Waite said that in general DEA agents look for "indicators" such as whether the person bought an expensive one-way ticket with cash, if the person is traveling from or to a city known as a hot spot for drug activity, if the person's story has inconsistencies or if the large sums of money found could have been transported by more conventional means.
"We don't have to prove that the person is guilty," Waite said. "It's that the money is presumed to be guilty."
Read the whole article. This is entirely unconstitutional. The fifth amendment to the Bill of Rights expressly forbids the taking of private property "without just compensation."
Saying Libertarians are "far-right" is like saying sqrt(-1) is more positive than zero.
And the computer here is a patsy called a calling station.
From the article: "but its basic approach to the game involves getting into every hand by calling bets".
You joke about gamma rays but there isn't much of difference between X rays and gamma rays from a biological perspective.
I'd be interested in what happens to those that have received several head CT scans. One head CT scan is about 20 years of background radiation.

Here we grill spice-rubbed strip steak to serve along sweet potatoes and onions cooked in a foil packet alongside it. Serve with steamed spinach.
Nutrition Profile: Diabetes Appropriate Gluten Free Diet Healthy Weight Heart Healthy High Potassium Low Calorie Low Carb Low Cholesterol Low Sat Fat Low Sodium
Serves 2
Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 30 min.
Step 1
Preheat grill to high.
Step 2
Combine allspice, cumin, ginger, salt, cinnamon, coriander and cayenne in a medium bowl. Sprinkle steaks with 2 1/4 teaspoons of the spice mixture. Add sweet potato and onion to the bowl along with oil and zest; toss to coat.
Step 3
Place two 24-inch sheets of foil on top of each other (the double layers will help protect the ingredients from burning). Generously coat the top piece with cooking spray. Spread the sweet potato mixture in the center of the foil in a thin layer. Bring the short ends of foil together, fold over and pinch to seal. Pinch the seams together along the sides to seal the packet.
Step 4
Place the packet on the hottest part of the grill and cook, turning once, about 5 minutes per side. Cook the steaks, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to plates and let rest while the packets finish cooking. Open the packets (be careful of steam) and serve alongside the steaks.

NEWINGTON — The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) announces the planned two-week closure of the Spaulding Turnpike Exit 3 southbound off-ramp in Newington on Monday, Sept. 8, as part of the turnpike improvement project.
This ramp closure is necessary to allow for the construction of the mainline traffic lanes and a new temporary Exit 3 southbound off-ramp.
All southbound traffic seeking to use Exit 3 will be directed to use the Exit 1 detour to get to Woodbury Avenue. The ramp closure will remain in effect until the week of Sept. 22.

Remembering the evergreen singer, the popular villain of the 90's shares an interesting anecdote exclusively with us – as to why he'll always regret not being directed by the late singer-actor-producer-director
Born on August 4, 1929, Kishore Kumar became one of India's most loved and respected singers, apart from being one of the most entertaining actors of his time. The Zindagi ek safar hai suhana singer is said to have done playback for around 2,648 Hindi movie songs, and his numbers are some of the most played on the radio even today. The prolific singer has been the voice for almost every actor spanning generations – from Dev Anand in the '50s to Rishi Kapoor in the '80s.
Similarly, Kishore da sang few melodious numbers for his good friend – Danny Denzongpa, who'll always cherish those songs. Not many know that the popular baddie has sung couple of songs in his heydays. On Kishore Kumar's 84th birth anniversary, the Agneepath actor took some time out to share something about the legendary singer close to his heart.
"I was very close to Kishore da," informs Denzongpa and adds, "The day he passed away, the entire nation was glued on to their television sets watching India-Pakistan match. I was doing the same. At 4 pm, Kishore da rang me and invited me to his place because he wanted to narrate a script. Later I realised that he wanted to make a film. I politely told him if we could meet an hour later since the match was turning out to be interesting. I told him as soon as it gets over, I'll reach his place. After the match, I went to Dada's house only to see our fraternity people walking in and out of his bungalow.
As I entered his bungalow's premises, I was curious to know what had happened and why there were so many people at his place. When I learnt that Dada passed away, I couldn't believe because I had spoken to him just an hour back," said Danny with moist eyes. He adds, "Dada used to call me whenever he used to get stuck while rehearsing for any pahaadi raga based song. He used to ring me for my opinion."
They do not make men like him anymore!

I still don't understand how the Gran Forte remade the city into its current form....If a portion of the city broke off and fell to whatever remained of the earth how did the part that became the Prison district end up lower than the rest of Novus Aether? Unless its fall was arrested partway....

I finally finished this game.
The plot are nice and defintely a good VN but Spoiler for spoiler:
Don't get me wrong though this is a really wonderful VN that put your emotion in roller coaster but the way I see it something tells me that this not the whole story yet. I mean the way they got no epiloques and all seems suspicious to me. August game usually wrap things up nicely. Perhaps someday they would release a fandisc for this....

I would certainly feel happy if that were the case (unless they further twist the knife in the wound .. damn that appendix), but August's past history with fandisks doesn't make me hopeful. None of their past games have ever had a fandisk released for them, so it doesn't look like those feature within August's business scheme. If one were to come out for Eustia, that would be a first. A very welcome first indeed, but meanwhile i'm afraid i won't be holding my breath.

Of course I wouldn't cross my fingers for it either but let's be optimistic a little bit (the ending just affect me that much).
This would be august first game with a tone that is a lot different than their previous work. It's dark heavy with alot of question regarding morality (prostitution, kill or to be killed, trauma, government politic, religion,sacrifice etc etc) people dying left and right and even something that blatantly wrong had to be done to simply calm the crowd. And if one wants to argue here almost everyone standing in grey area. And that's what make it good. But some aspect of the game needs to be round up. Past August game gave a really satisfying closure hence at the very least there's no need for a FD with all the fanservice to cheapen things up. But this time August seems went out of the norm which makes me think that some things could still be done (in the FD of course). Spoiler for For example:
Then again this could be just a wishful thinking of a fan that simply want happiness for two fictional character that went through alot in the game.

Which is why I am working on a fanfic "after story" type of deal (75 pages worth of word document and counting ), for my own peace of mind if nothing else, touching upon the things you mentioned in your spoiler as well. Yeah, i didn't like the ending that much. Though i will agree the way it ended, and given the nature of the universe, there is a lot that can be done with the ending, and many ways things can go from there. It certainly seems much more "fandiskable" than August's previous titles, so it is always nice to entertain the possibility they just might make one for this, no matter how unlikely.

RIM leadership may have got arrogant but they also gave a great deal to the Canadian entrepreneur scene. Jim Balsillie was generous enough to give me an interview in 1999 for my book, e-Volution: How to use the Internet to grow your business. He has done his strategy very well - something I see rarely done by Canadian owner/founders.
All this talk we are hearing from the USA about how "private equity destroys jobs" and "capitalism is evil" completely by passes the fact that humans create businesses and destroy businesses. The best businesses rarely go beyond a founder's life cycle and both founders of RIM are past their peak entrepreneurial risk taking days.
There is your problem.
Where were the Board Director experts to point out this fact? As I have hammered in my blog, advisers and board directors appointed by the owners will never say what needs to be said. Have them appointed by an outsider and you will have a very different result.

I worked at RIM at the time, and I'm pretty sure this isn't true:
"When the iPhone came out... He told his employees nobody wanted to have a personal computer on their phone."
BlackBerry practically defined the smartphone category up to that point, and it was always about putting a personal computer on your phone.
When iPhone first came out, it really wasn't a huge competitor to BlackBerry. I think many people have forgotten that the iPhone -- a phone whose biggest selling now feature is probably the App Store -- didn't support third-party apps at all until the second version in 2008. - January 24, 2012 at 4:46 PM

Lamar County and Pike County meet in the 29th renewal of the Battle of Potato Creek this week. The Trojans are 1-0-1 for the season while the Pirates are 1-1. It is no longer a region game as Pike moved up to AAA in the GHSA's bi-annual reclassification but it's still a fierce rivalry for the two schools a mere 12 miles apart.

HYDE PARK—After commenting about the difficulty in taking a literacy test for voting in New York City, as I did yesterday, I think you might be interested in some of the statistics on the voting record of labor union members.
Labor is always looked upon as an important sector of the vote, and all candidates turn their attention to efforts to get the labor vote. But it is interesting to find that, nationally, about 37 percent of male union members and about 44 percent of their wives do not vote.
This is, however, the national picture. In New York City, specifically, I found there is an even greater indifference to voting on the part of union members. New York's record shows that less than a third of the male union members are registered for voting and only from 10 to 15 percent of their wives.
So this would make it appear that this "very important" vote is quite unimportant and that, instead of being courted by the candidates, the labor voting group is so small that it need not be considered.
These figures are surprising to me, for I would think that the leaders of organized labor would be anxious to possess the strength that a good registration and voting record would give them with city, state and national governments.
I would also think that national party organizations, both Democratic and Republican, would be well rewarded if they helped members of labor unions take their literacy tests, get them registered and inform them of the issues so they would consider voting important. Here is a group that can be reached easily, yet no effort apparently has been made in New York City to see that they participate actively in their citizenship.
With Congress in session now, it is going to be difficult for the candidates to have much time for campaigning. And so, I suppose, every effort should be made to acquaint the public with the performance of the candidates during this session, for in that way we will learn about the policies we can expect of them, if elected.
It is obvious that in a campaign the candidates' managers must concentrate on getting the votes on election day, for if a candidate is not elected, it makes no difference what his policies are. But the candidates themselves must center their attention on what they want to accomplish if elected. To the voters of the nation, this is all-important.
Therefore, what happens in this particular session of Congress will be watched with extraordinary care, and the candidates' speeches throughout the campaign will be expected to reveal their philosophies of government.
Another important factor, in my mind, will be the knowledge of the people who will be consulted on the various campaign speeches. The electorate will be watching the candidates' advisors, for while candidates make mistakes in their choice of advisors and rifts develop as the years pass and men's philosophies change, the men who help them develop their policy speeches should be scrutinized with care, for they are influential in affecting the future of all of us.
