o hear a greeting from Waddy Wachtel, click here!
Read the reviews here.
"Is that Waddy Wachtel standing over there? My God . . . this guy has worked for everyone who's ever been in the music business, hasn't he?" (CBS: "Late Night With David Letterman," May 3, 2001)
"My father actually didn't want that . . . for years. I made the decision when my Mom was alive, and then from that age, from age five, until age nine, all's I did was bust his chops about it. And he didn't want it. He said, "No, no, no . . . don't worry about it . . . forget about the guitar. Learn about something else . . . get into some school. I want you to get into some school. Have the guitar to fall back on." And I was like, "I don't know what you are talking about . . . have it to 'fall back on.'" I'm not going to be some doctor who plays the guitar on the weekends. You know, this is IT."
Actually, I know a doctor that does that.
Yes, sure, there's lots of them. But I was committed. So I just bitched and bitched. And he fought me. It took me till . . .. you know, if I had my way, I would have started playing when I was about seven or so. But it took him until I was about nine to finally give in, and find me a teacher.
And you had guitar lessons with a guy named Gene Dell.
Oh, yes, that's right! Yes, Gene Dell, that's right. Nine years old, I started. And he came along . . . I wanted to play left-handed. I'm left handed.
What did you do, string your guitar the opposite way?
No, no, no . . . I didn't know . . . I was nine years old . . . I didn't know fuckin' anything! I just sat there playing the guitar backwards, 'till the guy came over. And he went . . . he grabbed it out of my hands and turned it around, and went, "Hey, no, no, no!" "Hey, I'm left handed." And he went, "No, not any more you're not. You're going to play right handed." And I went, "But, but." But he said, "No, you're going to play this way." So at age nine, I was stripped of my left-handedness, and shown the way to play right handed.
(laughing) Yeah, really. I had other things on the mind. And then when I was about 16, I think, I wanted to study again. Meanwhile, I was playing in a band. And I met this guitar player, who was like "hot stuff" and he mentioned he was studying with a man named Sal Salvador who was a great jazz guitarist, and was giving lessons. So I went and signed up with Sal. And I studied with him for about a year. And that was great because he was really very in tune to jazz, and improvisation and reading at the same time . . . and I was all of the sudden studying out of nine or ten books each week. I had lessons out of nine or ten books that I had to show up with and know. It was pretty extensive. And he dug my sensibilities about music, so he would have me come over and go over and work with arrangements with him. I mean play the things he was writing with him and stuff. The next thing I knew, I was spending like three or four nights a week with him, instead of my one night of lessons. I'd go there for a couple of nights a week and just play these arrangements with him, so he could get his shit together, and we'd go eat Italian food downstairs . . .
I lived guitar. I lived jazz and guitar. I was always a rock and roller, but a lot of the music I learned . . . well, my brother had an extensive jazz record collection. So I would just cut school and stay home and learn everything. There was a book, when I was a kid, by a guy named Mickey Baker, about how to play jazz guitar. When it got to the page about improvising it said, "well, nobody can really teach you how to improvise." And I went, "Oh great." And it said, "you gotta do that on your own you gotta develop your own soul." And he said, "I recommend the way to do that is to learn everything you love, every solo that you hear that you like learn it." So that's what I would do. I would sit there and play whatever record was on . . . a saxophone, Gerry Mulligan, or Lou Donaldson, or anybody. Any solos that would go by that I liked I would learn them. And I would just develop my "ear" like that. And that's how I started learning all the rock and roll songs same way. When I was a kid the first thing I learned was "Tequila!" And I went crazy when I realized that I moved that chord and it made that sound, and I went, "Oh my God." And then I started learning stuff by "ear." Gene Dell (his first teacher) would say, "Bobby . . . you're not reading! You are not reading! You're playing it by ear." And I'd say, "Well, I can't help it . . . I learned it already. My ear beat me to it."
They did. Even though he knew my "ear" was beating my "eye" to the page, in other words. So I'm not a great reader . . . I'm a decent reader, but not like some of my friends who can read anything.
Sometimes you do . . . you never know. All of the sudden . . . like, well, you're working on a movie date, and they have specific things written out or . . . or a lot of record dates. Back in the old days you would walk in and there'd be charted stuff. And sometimes I literally had to go, "Hey, come here . . . sing this to me."
I was . . . well, I was a little messed up, since my Mom died. I was pretty much a science project for a couple of years. I really didn't know what the hell was going on. I couldn't get a grasp on too much for a while there. But, anyhow, we lived in Jackson Heights, Queens (New York). And I went to public school: PS 149. I remember that. And the Junior High was called 145, Joseph Pulitzer Junior High School, 145.
Yeah! And then I went to this high school . . . it was called Newtown High School, which was known to be the like the toughest school in the fuckin' whole city. It was just full of just frightful hoodlums and . . . it was really, like, terrifying. And so I got privy to cutting school at a young age. It was safer. I was kind of scared to be at that high school.
So I learned then, well . . . you don't really have to go to school, I guess. But I managed to graduate high school.
Well, let me just say when I finished high school, I finished at a place called "Quintano's School For Young Professionals." Because I was cutting school so much that it was pointless . . .and someone said, "There's this high school in the city for like actors, and kids that don't have time for regular school." And I went, "You know, that's for me." And for this guy that I worked with in this band. We just said, "We gotta go there." So we signed up for Quintano's, and went for an hour and a half a day. And then started even blowing that off, because after a while it didn't matter. And I was working. At that point we were already working in Newport, Rhode Island in this band. So we would drive to Newport, on the weekend . . . do our shit, come home and pretend I had the energy to go to school. After a while we'd just kind of stay in Newport. And I came back down and the head of the school he just looked at me and said, "You'll never pass this test, because you gotta take your final. You'll never pass this." And then he said, well, just answer what you can, and I'll mark you on what you get right." So I graduated.
But then the draft was beckoning!
This was like 1967 or so. And the draft was really biting at my ankles. That's a whole long story, too . . . we don't need that though. That's pretty hilarious though.
I escaped. We went up to a college, called New Haven College. At this point I had a band called "The Orphans." That's the band I was working with. Avoiding the draft I went to New Haven College. And we stayed there till the band broke up.
Connecticut, yeah. And these guys left me, and I was stuck. And after years of road already, at like age 17, 18 . . . I went, "Oh no, I've gotta go home? This is no good!" So I went back home to Harry and Jimmy and then the draft was nipping at my heels again.
And then I studied music at that point. I wanted to learn more about music. And I tried to get into a couple of music colleges, but I just couldn't pass those tests. "The dictation," as they call it. They play you a piece, and you have to write it out, as it's goin' by, and I just wasn't ready for that.
Oh, and what else is funny, when all this happened you know, the band broke up and everything I came back home and my hair looked then like it basically does now! My father wasn't going for it. You know, I was like 17 years old. He said, "Go get it trimmed." So I went to a barber, and instead of trimming me, this barber fuckin' destroyed me.
He shaved my head basically! I was like I was livid! And I was so embarrassed, but I went to Mr. Schramm and I said and I hadn't seen him since I was a baby. And I said, "I need to learn music, and to tell you the truth, and also, I need your help because I've already accepted a job in Vermont four months from now, and I need you to help convince my father that I should take it. Because I want to go." And he said, "I'll help you Bobby, I'll help you."
That's right! So that was great . . . a lot of my musical knowledge I credit to Mr. Schramm. He was wonderful.
I got the name "Waddy" from a guy named I had a band when I was about 16. I was working with these guys. We had like a little 'surfin' band. And when The Beatles and Stones came out, then we had a 'surfin' band/Beatles and Stones Band. You know, we'd would do Beach Boys songs, Beatles, and so on. And this one guitar player the guy that I wrote with, the other guy's name was Carl Wilkenfeld. It was him, a guy named Bob Munz, my bass player that came from Queens with me, and this other guy was a friend of Carl Wilkenfeld's named Jerry Birnbach. And this (Jerry) guy was one of those goofy kind of guys that would always be making mistakes, always be screwing up . . . and I was always yelling at him. And I was always, like, up his ass about stuff. And all the sudden one day, I was firing on him and he goes/he just turned around (and I was always "Bob" up until then) and this one day he just turned around and went to shut me up, he went (in a whiny voice): "I'm sorry Waddy." And I turned around and went, "Whoa! What the fuck is that?" And he goes, "I'm sorry Waddy." "Don't call me that." And then after a while, I went, "well . . . Waddy. That sounds better than Bob."
So it's from this crazy guy.
Yeah, someone was just trying to shut me up, which he did.
Yeah . . . I mean we were all right. It was just my father and brother and I.
Shirley came along later. Harry got married again when I was about 16. He had tried a second marriage, but it totally failed. And then he met Shirley, right after I moved to California, and got married. And they were married like FOREVER. They were married from 1969 till, like 3 or 4 years ago. Shirley has been like a Mom even though there were like 3000 miles between us.
Yes, because I came out here and I didn't have anything. You know a Jewish boy's dream is to be able to support his father, you know. So finally when I started working my Dad, he had this friend named Harry Waxman. He was a big builder in New York. And they were life long friends, and he was supposed to take care of my father and he wasn't. And it was really pissing me off. And so one day I pulled him aside . . . and it was really funny, because I remember I was at Forrest Hill Stadium, with Linda Ronstadt. And I had started doing eye makeup then too. And we had just finished this show, and I had all this black eye makeup running down my face and everything. And I took my father aside and I said, "I just want you to know something. I want you to call your friend Harry Waxman, and tell him to go fuck himself. Tell him your son Bobby is taking care of you now." The two of us were crying. It was this wonderful moment: my father and I. You know I was always cutting school, I was always lying. My brother was a good boy. I was a fucking rat. I was the troubled kid.
You were just six when you lost your Mom.
Yeah. And then I just developed lying . . .
Yeah, it was really confusing.
Yeah, and she was sick for a long time, so it was pretty funky.
Yeah, it was bad. I didn't know what the hell was going on. I couldn't figure it out.
Yeah, that's what I was talking about, in Newport, Rhode Island.
No, no. Keith Olsen I met here meaning California.
No . . . that's a little out of context. Keith was in a band in 1966 called Music Machine. But I didn't meet Keith Olsen until I had moved to California. I moved here in '68, with a band called, "Twice Nicely." And it's funny, we were playing up in Newport, Rhode Island. And all the sudden people would say to me, have you heard the Cowsills? I went "what?" What kind of word is that? I never heard a word like that in my life! Cowsills? And they said, "Oh, man, that's these four boys, and they are amazing." And I was like, "You gotta be kidding." And they said, "They're babies . . . they're kids." So I went and saw them. And at that time the Cowsills were, like, literally just the four kids: Bobby, Billy, Barry and John. And they were amazing! They did Beatles songs, and they sang beautifully. But their father (William "Bud" Cowsill) was a complete alcoholic monster, who would come to the club we played in and get so drunk. I used to have him thrown out of the club a few times a week. "Get that fucking bum out of here." Then he started telling me, "I want to manage you." And I was like, "Get the fuck away from me." And all the sudden, The Cowsills got a deal. And it was amazing! Now at this point, some time had gone by. When I first met him, and I was still with that band, The Orphans. Then things went down, the band quit, the college thing fell through, and I put together this band called "Twice Nicely." And we were back working in Newport, Rhode Island. Anyhow, Bud would come to this club called "Dorian's," where The Ophans would play, and try to tell me he wanted to manage me, and I told him, "You are out of your mind. Look, when you get a million dollars, then come talk to me." And he was shit-faced drunk and I didn't think it mattered.
(laughing) And I said, "Yup, get me the fuck outta here!" So he said, "Alright, we're going back to New York. We're living in New York now, so why don't you guys pack it in up here and come on down there and start rehearsing." So we moved back down to New York, and at that point is when I finally heard from the FBI this time . . . in relation to the draft, because I am STILL shining the draft! Like five physicals have gone down now, and I have not gone for any of them. The sixth letter I got was from the FBI saying, don't even BOTHER bringing anything with you, because you're going to Vietnam. You are going directly from your physical to the front lines.
So I went, "No this ain't gonna work. This ain't gonna work." So I told Bud about it, I said, "Look I got a problem here. I got a real problem." And he said, "I know someone you can talk to." There was a gentleman named Herbie Cohen. I don't know if you ever heard of his name.
Well, no . . . Herb Cohen used to manage Frank Zappa. [And Linda Ronstadt, among others] He managed "The Mothers Of Invention," who I was in love with. And he said this guy Herb is coming to town. "Why don't you talk to him about it. He's got a real good sense about these things." I had a meeting with Herb, and I said, "Look man, I don't know what to do." And he said, "Look Waddy, look at yourself. You are NOT Army material." (laughing) He goes, "that's all you got to know. And you just have to go and convince them of that. They don't want YOU, believe me! You are exactly what they DON'T want."
"You like to think for yourself, you don't like to take orders from people. You are NOT the guy they are looking for. They think you are now, but once they get to know you, they'll know you're not. You just have to go to that physical. And I suggest to you . . ."
"No, don't cut your hair! Don't talk to anybody, don't answer any of the questions. When it comes time for you to take the physical part, after you do the written test, tell them, you're afraid: you don't want to take your clothes off. You're afraid to take your clothes off. You seem like a nervous guy, so just get real nervous."
Yeah. And about two weeks later, we moved to LA, with the Cowsills.
I know, I know. It was very funny because there were two people that I always wanted to meet. If I ever got to California, I wanted to meet Brian Wilson, who is still my idol. And at that time David Crosby was saying a lot of good things in the late sixties. So I thought David Crosby seems very hip. I want to meet him. Two days after we got there, we went to dinner at some place David Crosby is sitting three tables away.
And then I met Brian, through this guy Arnie Geller who is the man that introduced me to Brian Wilson. Arnie knew Keith Olsen. And a guy named Curt Boettcher, who is now deceased . . . but they had a band, known as the "Millennium" in the late sixties. And Curt Boettcher produced "Along Comes Mary" with The Association. And Curt and Keith were in this band, Millenium. And they were also making records, producing them. Arnie introduced us. Curt and Keith liked our band a lot, and we started working together. They were producing our demos. Then Curt and Keith had some kind of falling out, and then I fired the whole band. I had had it. I said to them, "I want you all to know, I'm not quitting. You're all fired!" There's a difference. (laughing)
(laughing) You're the sole "Orphan" now!
That's right. And they're fuckin' screwed. (laughing)
I had a single. I did a "Waddy" single, called "You're The One." Keith produced it, and it was my song, and I sang it. And I was going to do an album. It was for a label named, "Anthem," which was a subsidiary of Polygram. And Stevie and Lindsey got signed to Polygram, and they got an album deal. And I was going to do an album deal, but these people who signed me, screwed me. So I never did any more than the single.
Well, ahhh, yeah. Like I was saying, Stevie and Lindsey came down, and we met. (1972)
No, Keith . . . he had met them, and he brought them down to make a record. And so we were working at a studio called "Sound City." And that's where I was doing my stuff and that's where we did the Buckingham Nicks record. And we became very tight friends, you know. Stevie was very innocent at that point. And Lindsey and I were addicted to the music. And Lindsey . . . he had like a four track tape machine Ampex tape machine. And they made some great demos, and so we went in the studio and we recorded their album. And from then on, the three of us were always together basically. I was always at their house. We were sitting around on the floor, smoking hash.
Very very very possible, yes. (laughing)
(laughing) That's right. That's right!
Oh yeah. She did for sure! And then we . . . had another friend. George, or Jorge, Calderon and he played bass with us. So we started playing gigs around town. The four of us. You know when I met Stevie, and I heard her sing I was already very much into Dolly Parton at that point which was wild, because I never heard a note of country music when I lived in New York. But when I moved here, I was like, "Wow, what's this stuff? Country music? Wild." And so I gave her [Stevie] a Dolly Parton album. And I said, "you've got to learn this girl's work. You've gotta get a load of this chic!" And she couldn't believe it. And so we started gigging around town, doing Dolly Parton tunes, and other country songs, and couple of originals, and Lindsey and I would play guitar great together. So we just knocked around like that.
I think by the time the album came out, I wanted to do my own thing or I might have been working with the Everly's then. I can't quite remember the sequence of events then. I was actually kind of working when we all (Buckingham Nicks) met. I was an actual session's musician. And so from time to time I was very busy, or kind of busy, or not so busy. My stuff was kind of picking up around then.
Well, he was just a very nice guy. I was playing slide, and he just went, "Waddy Wachtel." It fit the rhythm, I think. That was that. But the funniest thing was, then I was working with Linda-Ronstadt. And I came home one day from a tour, and the phone rings and it's Lindsey. And I go, "So what's up man." And he goes, "Man, I gotta run something by you. I got a strange situation here." And I go, "What?" And he goes, "Well, this guy named Mick Fleetwood came to Sound City, looking for production with Keith Olsen. And, uh, Keith played him our stuff. And he [Mick Fleetwood] wants us to join Fleetwood Mac." And I went "Yah . . . what's the problem?" And he goes, "I don't know if we want to do it. You know, we got Buckingham Nicks." And I said, "Lindsey, the only mistake you are making right now is you're on the wrong phone call. I want you to hang up, and call Mick Fleetwood, and tell him 'Yes.'" And I said the only thing wrong with the equation is that they didn't want me also.
No. They wanted them. They just wanted the two of them. I wound up . . . I mean we were all tight friends and I played on a little bit of the record. But I made some very valid suggestions that reflect on the music that are still there today. Some of the things I said were, "Why don't you do this, and stuff. Try this." So I said, "Call him, now. Call him now, and say YES."
Yes. Well, I just knew that was an in for them. I knew that Buckingham Nicks was going to be an uphill fight, but Fleetwood Mac already had a name. So let them be your back up band, man. So that's what he did.
No, uh-uh. Not really.
Yeah, I got Lindsey that job. When I left that job, Lindsey came on and took the job over for me.
Well, no, that's a whole other story. That's where I met Warren Zevon. He was the band-leader for The Everly Brothers. Don and I had a little falling out, over something.
Yeah, well, I don't mind really. It's pretty funny. But anyway . . .
"Waddy Wachtel, now known for his work as a producer and with Linda Ronstadt and Zevon, joined the band as lead guitarist. 'We rehearsed for a fortnight without Don and Phil. They were all finishing their album. At that time Don and Phil didn't get on at all and Bob Knigge (the established bass player) said "Don't try to get them together", but that was my dream: to sit with them and sing and play with them. Finally, one night in England we all got together in my room. Prior to that night you'd have Phil hanging out with you or Don hanging out with you. You'd never have both of them. Then one night they both came in and sang and it was the most beautiful thing you ever heard. Just those pure gorgeous voices and from then on it just developed musically to a point a month later where all we did on the road was all get into a room, Don, Phil, Warren, Knigge and me and sing at each other and it became this beautiful relationship. They were really friendly towards each other. I was with them about a year and then had a bad fall-out with Don and had to leave. We resolved it a year later and became friends again.'"

The Aston Martin sold for $55,000, and the Volkswagen sold for $29,700, according to the Barrett-Jackson website.
There was no reserve on either car, meaning there was no minimum bid for a chance to grab a piece of both automotive and pop culture memorabilia.
Barrett-Jackson sold more than $23.2 million in collector cars and automobilia over its three days at the South Florida Fairgrounds.

I am not going to greet any nondescript world, so greetings Earth and all who dwell on you. Welcome to the HumanWikipedia blog. Although I have been known to have a bit of an ego, I assure you I know enough to understand that I indeed know very little. That's my way of saying "I'm generally smart, but I can be rather dumb sometimes too," so if you hate egomaniacs, don't worry – I'm not one. I thought "Human Wikipedia" was an appropriate title for this blog because I don't have a single topic I plan to cover – rather a wide variety, just like how Wikipedia covers almost any topic you can think of. I have been called "Human Wikipedia" by a few people and it referred to my ability to know a lot of completely obscure and ultimately useless knowledge.
My areas of interest are economics, search engine optimization, internet culture, raising children, cooking, and current events. You can expect most of my topics to relate to these. Enjoy!

Inspired by design trends and feedback from hundreds of brands, new
typefaces offer a mix of modern design and timeless appeal
WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Monotype (Nasdaq: TYPE) today took the wraps off two of its newest
designs: the Unitext™
and Madera™
typefaces. Inspired by modern design trends and feedback from hundreds
of brands, the two new sans serif typefaces offer a mix of contemporary
flair and timeless appeal – and are designed with the intent to help
brands carry their voice effectively and legibly, from small text to
display sizes, in both print and digital environments. Monotype's new
Madera and Unitext typefaces were created with the intent to be easy to
use by both designers and brands. The typefaces come in a variety of
sizes and weights – as well as with a number of special characters and
stylistic alternatives – that fit well within most companies' brand
guidelines. Both typefaces are designed to help ensure brand consistency
and fidelity at every customer touchpoint.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:
Jan Hendrik Weber of the Monotype Studio (Photo: Business Wire)
The Madera Typeface – A Warm Geometric Sans Serif Design with a Sharp
EdgeDescribed as clean, sharp, trendy, authentic and honest,
the Madera typeface was designed by Malou
Verlomme of the Monotype Studio. It offers a geometric sans design
with a human feel, and is marked by its pointy apexes. Madera was built
on the back of feedback from numerous brands and influenced by a variety
of modern type design trends. The Madera typeface is a fresh alternative
to popular sans serif typefaces commonly found in branding, and is well
suited for high-tech and publishing, with an emphasis on logos, signage
and text. Available in eight weights, plus italics, the Madera typeface
also includes the special characters that graphic designers use
frequently in their projects, like arrows and circled numbers.
"I've created quite a few custom typefaces for clients throughout my
career, which gives me unique insight into what brands are looking for
in their type designs. Madera is a synthesis of that experience," said
Verlomme. "While the design is geometric, clean and modern, it has some
softer and more organic traits, which makes it a straightforward yet
warm design."
The Unitext Typeface – A Combination of Compact Spacing and Open
CountersThe Unitext typeface can be described as clear,
universal, progressive and authentic. It is a blend of grotesque and
humanist styles and offers a unique balance of condensed spacing and
open counters, which makes it a highly legible choice for logos as well
as text. Designed by Jan
Hendrik Weber, type director for the Monotype Studio, the Unitext
typeface is simple and compact, but also friendly, to allow for a
brand's natural voice to come through. The design is available in seven
weights, plus italics, offers fractions and case-sensitive forms, and is
at home in travel and leisure, advertising, logos, text and wayfinding.
"We often hear from brands that they'd prefer to use a single typeface
for both text and logos across all their touchpoints, but the
traditional options rarely work the way they hope," said Weber. "I set
out to design the Unitext typeface to provide a unified voice for brands
that want a dynamic, condensed design that is consistent no matter where
or how a brand needs to reach its customers."
Suggested Typeface PairingsThe modern and brand-focused
sans serif styles of the Madera and Unitext typefaces mean that they
pair well with other designs. The Madera typeface is a natural companion
for the Cardamon™, Linotype® Didot, Frutiger® Serif, Joanna® Nova, Meta®
Serif and Neue Swift® typefaces. The Unitext typeface pairs nicely with
the Aptifer® Slab, Bembo® Book, ITC Berkeley Old Style™, PMN Caecilia®,
Sabon® Next and Ysobel® typefaces.
Pricing and AvailabilitySingle weights of the Madera and
Unitext typefaces are available for $49/€49 or £42 each. The complete
families are available for $199/€199 or £170.
The Madera and Unitext typefaces can be found in Mosaic™,
a cloud-based font platform that provides enterprises with an easy way
to discover, manage, share and deploy Monotype's fonts. The typefaces
are also included in the Monotype
Library Subscription.
The typefaces can be licensed through MyFonts.com
at a discounted price of 50 percent off through April 27, 2018.

The ELSR (eltherm-self-regulating) heating tape can be used for frost protection and maintaining constant temperatures on vessels, pipes, valves, etc.. Except for the connections, the heating cable may be immersed to fluids. If used in an aggressive environment (the chemical or petrochemical industry), we lag the heating cable with a special chemically resistant outer jacket (fluoropolymer).
The matrix is the most important quality aspect for self-regulating heating cables. In order to be able to exercise the greatest possible influence on this production process, we manufacture the granulate for the matrix ourselves. As a result of this, eltherm is one of the top manufacturers of self-regulating heating cables in the world. This is also influenced by the special pre-treatment of the components and our long-time experience with these parameters. We are therefore able to guarantee constant high quality.
The application options for the ELSR self-regulating heating cables range from frost protection to temperature maintenance on pipes and vessels.
Brochure "Self-regulating Heating Cables"
Innovative connection and power supply - El-Clic® – One system for all applications.
Innovative connection and power supply - El-Clic® – One system for all applications. No matter if you want to connect a self-regulating heating cable (types ELSR-N, -LS or –W) with the power supply, you need a Tee-splice, you want to supply two or three self-regulating heating cables with power, just connect two or three self-regulating heating cables to each other, with the innovative fast connector system El-Clic of eltherm you have the perfect solution.
Self-regulating heating tapes consist of two parallel bus wires embedded in a networked plastic heating element, doped with surrounding carbon particles. If the temperature increases during operation, the plastic expands due to molecular expansion and the distance between the carbon particles increases. Resistance increases and output drops. When it cools down, this process is reversed and output increases.
This physical property not to exceed the specified temperatures also facilitates the cross-routing of self-regulating cables and managing without a temperature cut-out device.

Photographer's Note
This is the 49th photograph from my trip to Turkey.
Only 1 left to close this travelogue.
The trekking/holidays lasted 3 weeks and its route includes the most famous and interesting places in Turkey:
Istanbul - Izmir - Selcuk - Efez - Dilek National Park - Pammukale - Fethiye - Saklikent Gorge - Olu Deniz - Antalya - Termessos - KAPPADOCIA - Istanbul.
The last stop of our trip was Cappadocia and its amazing valleys and rock forms which are world famous atractions.
We arrived to Goreme at 4.00am after quite long trip from Antalya. After very early morning climbing up to the hill and wonderfull sunrise (previus posts) we decided to have a short snap.
The afternoon was full of sightseeing. In the next 2 days we visited all valleys which are the most famous atractions of this area. Every single one has something different to offer, apart of one thing: extraordinary rocky formations which take you to the other planet.
You can notice specific and varied shapes depending which valley you go thru. Some of them are full of very high and lisson formations, the other ones have bulky and dumpy rocks inside. It`s really amazing that nature created something such unearthly.
The recent years have shown that we should preserve the natural wonders of Cappadocia and its immense cultural heritage to a much wider extent. Nature herself which is the sole creator of this incredible beauty also destroys the cultural residue as she goes on creating new formations. Rock settlements collapse because of erosion and the local population deserts the erosion of not having a direct influence over the natural and cultural history of the region.
This particular view I like specially because you can find so many details here. This valley on the picture is amazingly multifarious which brings space effect. Hope U like it too.
Taken with 10d and 50 mm lens (x 1.6).

The pic is great. I can already tell you that some of the kids on this site may not give it much but I am. I think you've really captured it in a neat way. It looks like a playland, it looks fake, but not because you've made it some tacky view, which is what Trekearth seems to be about.

July 8, 2012 Squiggles, Curls & Dots
The blank canvas. Looking for black and white ink. Squiggles, curls and dots. Squiggles? What is a squiggle? I look up the synonyms. Scribble, wavy line, scrawl, doodle, mark. Hmm…can one squiggle or doodle with a key board? The fingers press on the keys leaving an imprint on the monitor. When was the last time I wrote? I mean really write. With a paper and a pen. Writing a cheque does not count. That does not count for self-expression. I give up reflecting. I have been punching keys on the keyboard for a very long time.
Why this sudden, inquiry into expression through pen and paper.
I remember the time when I was first given a pen to write with. A fountain pen. I was excited. It was a fountain pen and one had to fill ink in it by pulling the small knob attached at the end of the plastic tube. The ink flowed into the tube using the suction principle. Not that the ink knew about this principle. It was something that we were taught in science class. There was an ink bottle kept on the table in the corner of the classroom. After we had finished filling our fountain pens with ink, we used to wipe the nibs on the side of our heads. I do not know who started it, but it became a kind of ritual and all of us did it. As though we needed to wipe the nibs, clean after their morning bath in ink and the extra ink would soak into our scalp and make us more intelligent.
Ms Panero was our class teacher. An unmarried woman in her sixties. She had a sharp nose and round rimmed glasses perched on that nose. We had heard she was from Calcutta, not Kolkatta, and she was the senior most teacher in the school. As I try to reach back into the memory section of my head to recall the events of that day, I cannot recall them. Infact, I cannot recall the other days of school either. What exactly did I do? Is it because I was too young? I do recall myself playing, particularly marbles in the mud until my fingers ached from bending them backward. I recall the time when I made a paper airplane and it flew far higher and far longer than other planes. I recall being part of gymnastics and the smell of the musty mattresses when we landed on them. The memories are there, thank god. Only the portion of time I spent in classrooms seems to have become blank. Or maybe one large undistinguishable mass of blankness. Remarkable.
Anyway coming back to the business of fountain pens and Ms Panero. Both symbols of my growing up. The fountain pen meant that I was old enough to use ink. It meant my written expression would be more vivid and clear. There was also an unstated expectation that what I write would not be cancelled or rubbed. And I could be trusted with that. In recognition of that trust, I was handed the fountain pen. As though I was being knighted for coming of age, under the strict supervision of Ms. Panero. She told us how the fountain pen was to be used. In case of any errors, which were not expected of us, we were to cancel the word in a clean systematic manner. One stroke for one alphabet. We were also told that the stroke had to be a backslash, not a horizontal line, not a forward slash, but a backslash. It was cumbersome to cancel each alphabet one stroke at a time, yet that is how we were told. That is how I did it.
We did not get a chance to see each other's books, or our collective artistry with the fountain pen. I felt my writing was fairly clean and synthetic to go under the gaze of Ms. Panero. When the English class was over, that is what she taught us, a shrill bell rang signalling the end of this class and the start of another. We quickly closed our books and screwed back the cover of our pens. Oh! And I forgot to mention each of our pens had our names on it. A small white strip of paper with a transparent scotch tape pasted over it. I got up and put my book on the table along with my cherished first fountain pen. So did everyone else. Ms Panero collected the books in one big pile and put all the fountain pens back in the bag that she had got them in. The books were for correction. And the fountain pens were for her safe custody. Even though the pens were symbols of our coming adulthood, we were not considered adult enough yet to take care of them. As she left the class with our books and pens, we got ready for the next teacher to teach us another subject. It is remarkable that I cannot recall what I was taught, that day.
The next day Ms. Panero handed our books to us. I eagerly opened to see what remarks I had got for what I had written the previous day. I was aghast. The page was bathed in red. It was a battle of her red ink over my blue ink. There were red backslashes everywhere. / / / / / These lines. An army of them. Overpowering the army of my words. I wondered what is it that I had done wrong. The spellings were in order, the words touched the line evenly and I had cancelled the misspelt words in exactly the way I was told to. I turned another page and there at the end of it was written in the unmistakable scrawl of Ms. Panero's writing "Write towards the right."
Write towards the right. Write towards the right. Write towards the right.
I pondered on that sentence over and over again. Trying to decipher the deep mystery behind those words. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not understand what "Write towards the right" meant. It would have been easier to go up to her and simply ask what she meant, but then for me it was like crossing the Pacific Ocean. I don't know why I say the Pacific ocean and not the Atlantic, or the Indian, maybe in my mind back then the Pacific was the most difficult to cross. Never mind. The point was asking Ms. Panero what she meant by the red remark in my book was taking a huge risk for my eleven year old self. What if she showed my book to the entire class and everyone saw the sea of red plastered on my pages. What if she made a statement that would allow my classmates to make fun of me for rest of the day, rest of the term, maybe rest of my life? I just could not allow that to happen. So I did what any self-respecting eleven year old would do. I sat quiet and acted as though nothing had happened.
As I handed my book to Ms. Panero that day, I was dreading what would come my way tomorrow. I was hoping that I had written the way she wanted me to. Made extra sure that all my T's were crossed and I's were dotted. But deep down something in me knew that this was not the end of it.
The next day Ms. Panero returned everyone's book for writing their lesson. Except mine. She held onto my book. I panicked. Just imagine your classmates with their books and writing the lesson for the day and here I was the only one who was without a book. There is nothing worse for an eleven year old than exclusion. To not be doing something, that everyone in the class was doing. Being part of the group was like oxygen. Vital force of remaining alive. Even if the group was being given painful injections, I rather be a part of that group and undergo the same painful experience, rather than be left out without an experience my friends underwent. I sat in misery awaiting my fate.
While the others were busy with their writing, Ms Panero called me to the table. I approached the table in front. I could smell her. It was distinct smell of…of…of…. errr… pencil eraser. The kind which has floral fragrance and looks good, but when you use it leaves a black smudgy mark on paper. Maybe it was my imagination. "Yes Miss." I said as soon as I was standing within hearing distance of her. "I told you to write towards right. Why are you not doing that?" she asked with a genuine concern just as a doctor would address a patient, who is not following the simplest instructions for his own betterment. I looked at her, not knowing what to say. Finally, I said "I am sorry Miss. I don't understand. What is right towards right?" She was taken a back for a moment. Probably in her own head, she wondered how could anyone not understand "Write towards right." The simplest instruction in the world.
She opened my book and showed my writing to me. "See here. All your written alphabets are slanting towards the left. I want you to write all your alphabets slanting towards the right, so that eventually your alphabets will become straight and centred. Do you understand now? " She asked. "Oh! So that is what write towards right meant" I said in my own mind. "Yes Miss." I said to her excited at having finally deciphered the mystery of right towards right. "I understand now." She nodded her head in approval and gave me my book. I quickly returned to my seat before anyone noticed something was wrong.
So, I started writing towards right.
If my blog theme supported writing in italics, you would be seeing the balance of this article in italics font. Unlike Ms Panero, it does not. Anything written in italics is transformed into capital letters. So I am colouring the rest of it in blue. But you could tilt your head a little towards the right and imagine it is slanting to the right. If you please.
Until this day, I write towards right. I slant my writing towards the right. Ms. Panero forgot to correct me that I had written enough towards the right and it was time to centre my writing. Neither did I bother to remind her. Ms. Panero was my class teacher only for that class. The next year I moved to another school and another class where the teacher never bothered about how I wrote, much less what I wrote. So then, there was no reason to centre my writing.
Years later, someone was analysing my writing. He said, "You are ambitious and forward-looking, as all your alphabets are slanting towards the right." I smiled. It felt good to hear that. Maybe I was. But now you know that is not the only reason why I right towards right.
"Write towards right!" I can still hear Ms. Panero saying to me in red.

Welcome To The Focus Network – Resource for the Power of Mind and Psychology
Every one of our facilities provides a comprehensive range of high-quality marketing research services and
state-of-the-art equipment in a comfortable environment. Each facility is staffed by experienced, knowledgeable, energetic people providing the expertise, reliability and personal service you demand. We strive to understand your specific needs and objectives.
How can you use the latest discoveries in brain science to improve your life?
There is a wealth of information at our disposal today on the latest discoveries in brain science. While we enjoy reading about these findings and expanding our intellect, how many of us actually apply these concepts?
We can either drown in this information or turn it into a lifesaver by extracting its practical knowledge. This article offers several important tips based on discoveries in brain research that can help us improve our personal and professional lives, as well as help others in our sphere of influence.
Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to continuously create new neural pathways. When we repeat a skill that we are trying to master, we strengthen the neural networks that represent that action. The same happens physically in the brain whether we perform the action, or simply visualize it-Your brain cannot tell the difference between an action you performed and an action you visualized.
Then we customize our services to suit, and proceed with your project to completion – as planned and expected.
If you want to make changes in your life, you must look to the causes, and the causes are almost always the way you are using your mind – the way you are thinking. You cannot think both negative and positive thoughts at the same time. One or the other will dominate. The mind is a creature of habit, so it becomes each individual's responsibility to make sure that positive emotions and thoughts constitute the dominating influence in their mind.
In order to change external conditions, you must first change the internal. Most people omit this step. They try to change external conditions by working directly on those conditions. This always proves futile, or at best temporary, unless it is accompanied by a change of thoughts and beliefs.
Awakening to this truth, the way to a better, more successful life becomes crystal clear. Train your conscious mind to think thoughts of success, happiness, health, prosperity, and to weed out negativity such as fear and worry. Keep your conscious mind busy with the expectation of the best, and make sure the thoughts you habitually think are based upon what you want to see happen in your life.
Water takes the shape of whatever container holds it, whether it be in a glass, a vase or a riverbank. Likewise, your mind will create and manifest according to the images you habitually think about in your daily thinking. This is how your destiny is created. A new life is created by new thoughts.

Summer road repair and rehabilitation projects begin next week in Grand Teton National Park and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. This work will result in varying traffic delays during the 2013 travel season.
North Park Road between Jackson Lake Lodge and the Flagg Ranch area will have 30-minute delays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., 7 days per week from May-September. Because regular delays are expected on the North Park Road, motorists should plan for extra time to reach their destination -- whether traveling to or from Yellowstone National Park.
Grassy Lake Road will have intermittent 15-minute delays from June-October during a gravel resurfacing project.
Gros Ventre Road from Kelly Warm Springs to the east park boundary will have 15-minute delays during July for an asphalt overlay project.
The following roads will have 15-minute delays during August for routine chip-seal work:
Construction schedules may change or be delayed due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances. Visitors are encouraged to call the road conditions line at 307.739.3614 or stop at park visitor centers for current and specific information.

Blocks & Bonds: Large Scale
The Blocks & Bonds concept is imminently scalable. One criteria Blocks & Bonds could fulfill might be temporary College Dorm facilities. The size of the project is of little matter as the building could be scaled to house dozens or hundreds of users.
The need for student housing could quickly be accommodated with only a few standard units:
- canteen / dining Blocks on the ground floor
- lounge / open space Blocks on the second floor (with out door patio space)
- elevator / stair stack Blocks at each end
- dorm room / bathroom combination Blocks
- dorm room / study carrel combination Blocks
- small Bonds and large Bonds opening and connecting the space between Blocks
The Blocks & Bonds concept could meet the needs of other industries such as office blocks, temporary hotels, convention space and even short term disaster relief.
This is an idea looking for production partner. Please don't hesitate to contact zigloo.ca for more information.

The table shows that among IT companies Samsung has appreciated by 80% while Nokia depreciated by 58%, RIM has also grown a bit. High in the saddle Apple and Google continue growing. Microsoft on the other hand remains on the same level. We might argue about the methods or characters but I think the trend is shown correctly.

Call it the corpse that refuses to die.
There are a lot of reasons why petroleum, the indispensable fuel, is making still another comeback after the experts had solemnly pronounced it dead and were preparing to conduct a graveside service over its remains. Oil was supposed to have been done in long ago by green fuels, solar panels, wind power or some other wondrous substitute. All of which proved not quite so wonderful -- and no real substitute at all.
The world has gone through this ceremonial interment time and again. And those conducting it have proven premature just as many times. Remember the oil cartel and how it brought the industrialized West to its knees with the oil embargoes of the 1970s? The picture of an American president named
American ingenuity, enterprise and persistence have proved more than enough to turn the tables on the oil sheikhs. And now it is
The wheel turns, in this case, on all the Cassandras who used to talk about peak oil and how the world was burning a finite fuel that can never be replaced. The sun can't be replaced, either, but nevertheless it goes on burning brightly and creating still more deposits of petroleum under the surface. Like in the tar sands of
Happily, our oil and gas industry is using its power cautiously, perhaps because it's gone through this cycle before. Memories of previous booms followed by busts can make even the most exuberant enterprise cautious, which is a welcome sign that perspective, like the oil industry, is coming back. To quote

There are worse problems to have. The country should be happy to have such a problem, for it still runs on oil, and the consumer still benefits when supply exceeds demand instead of the other way around. Yet the same old demagogues or their latter-day progeny still proclaim that these are the worst of times and look for any handy scapegoat to blame for today's prosperity. Like the oil industry. Or the rich or Muslims or you name it -- because the designated villain from day to day matters less than the politics of rousing voters' fear and envy, which is the essence of the demagogue's art.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) Derrick Henry made a quick impression on his Alabama teammates upon arriving on campus as a coveted prospect with everything from his hardcore weight room workouts to those middle-of-the-night pushup sessions.
Big, physical and by all accounts a tireless worker, Henry stood out even in a program that's been handing off tailbacks to the NFL pretty much annually. Alabama linebacker Reggie Ragland learned the hard way in one early practice encounter.
''When you meet him in the hole,'' Ragland says now, ''you better bring everything you've got.''
The 6-foot-3, 242-pound Henry is perhaps the leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy. New Orleans Saints tailback Mark Ingram is the school's lone Heisman winner, capturing the trophy in 2009.
Henry's numbers are better; in fact, better than any other Tide runner. He's already broken Herschel Walker's SEC single-season rushing record, reaching 1,986 yards with a big league championship game performance in Saturday's 29-15 win over Florida. That earned Alabama a No. 2 seed in the playoffs.
Granted, he's done it in 13 games, two more than Walker. But Henry also matched the SEC record of 23 rushing touchdowns shared with Tim Tebow and Tre Mason during his 189-yard performance against the Gators.
''He just put icing on the cake,'' said tight end O.J. Howard, who witnessed those early pushup workouts as Henry's roommate.
The durable Henry has logged an even heavier workload than usual in the past two games. He's had 90 carries and 460 yards combined against Auburn and Florida.
He's mostly deflected Heisman talk, while quickly sharing credit with teammates.
''My main focus is on finishing and helping this team win,'' Henry said after the SEC championship game. ''I'm going to do whatever it takes to help this team win. Whether it's me running the ball, catching the ball or pass blocking, I just want this team to win. It's a team effort.''
Henry, who has scored touchdowns in a nation's best 18 consecutive games, has averaged 180.9 yards against seven ranked opponents. His long stride makes him hard to catch in the open field besides being a load between the tackles.
Tide coach Nick Saban said Henry arrived on campus with the same work ethic that's carried him to the brink of a Heisman. After setting the national high school record for career rushing yards, Henry split carries with T.J. Yeldon his first two seasons before taking over in the backfield.
Saban said he hasn't coached ''many players that actually set a better example to affect other people.''
''I don't know that there's any player on the team that the team means more to them than it does to Derrick,'' Saban said.
HEISMAN-DEFINING MOMENT: Henry made one cut behind the line and sprinted toward the end zone while Auburn defenders seemed to be moving in slow motion. The 25-yard touchdown in the final minute of the Iron Bowl was especially notable because it was Henry's 46th carry and 14th in a row to punctuate a 271-yard performance.
- BEST GAME: Henry outshined LSU's Leonard Fournette in a game that gave Alabama the inside track to the SEC West title. He had 38 runs for 210 yards and three touchdowns. Two of Henry's scores came in the third quarter when the Tide took control of the game.
- WORST GAME: Henry's lowest outputs came against lesser teams in easy wins, but Arkansas fared the best among SEC defenses. The Razorbacks limited him to 95 yards on 27 carries.
- PRO PROSPECTS: A junior, Henry is widely regarded as the second-best running back who could be available in the 2016 draft behind Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott. That could place him late in the first round or dropping into the second if the projections hold up. Alabama has had four running backs drafted in the first two rounds since 2011, including first-rounders Ingram and Trent Richardson.

Friday, February 5th features music by JAY LUMEN.
For table service, please call 415-205-5045
Music is part of his life since his childhood years. He learnt music in conservatory for eight years, which provided a good basis to his ambition of making music. This ambition appeared very early, during the schooldays, when he started to turn compositions of classic authors to his own style, rather than playing the original versions of them. Although he was educated to play on a classic instrument - violin - he early recognized that his desire of creative work would not be realized with this kind of instrument. By getting his first computer, he immediately started to make his ideas to be heard. In the meantime he got to know the synthetizator in the way of self-education also, and as he obtained the newest technologies and softwares, he developed himself with them and got more and more closer to the sounding in which he felt himself familiar.
Nowadays, Jay Lumen is one of the most quickly developing new generation DJ/producers. As a producer he has nine No1, twentyfour Top10, and several Top20 charted tunes till now. His releases are coming out at the best international labels just like Drumcode (Adam Beyer's label), Saved (Nic Fanciulli's label), OFF Recordings, 100% Pure, Octopus Records, Cadenza, etc. He was the only one DJ/Producer in 2010 and 2011 who had 6 tunes (originals and remixes as well) on the Beatport's top chart at the same time and he did it again in 2012 as well.

The Ford Fiesta equipped with a new three-cylinder engine will get the best highway fuel economy of any car with the exception of some diesels and hybrids, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
The tiny 1.0-liter turbocharged engine will give the car 45 mpg in highway driving, 37 mpg in combined driving and 32 in city driving, Ford Motor Co. said.
The big highway numbers are equal to or greater than some of the fuel-miser diesels from Volkswagen and other small gasoline-powered cars such as the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris.
"With the new Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost we're pushing into fuel economy numbers only seen on hybrids and diesels," said Joe Hinrichs, executive vice president and president of the Americas for Ford.
Ford is positioning the three-banger as a gasoline-only alternative to fuel-sippers employing hybrid, diesel or electric power. Other automakers put the tiny engines in cars sold abroad and are looking at the Fiesta to see if they will sell in the U.S.
For now, the Smart Fortwo, a two-seat mini car, is the only three-cylinder offering in the U.S. but it's not a big seller.
The three-cylinder Ford might also be a hard sell, said Dave Sullivan, manager of product analysis for AutoPacific Inc., an industry consulting firm.
Ford is asking an extra $1,000 for cars equipped with the engine, bringing the price of what is a budget car to about $17,000. And it is limiting the three-banger to cars with manual transmissions.
"People would rather spend that $1,000 to get an automatic transmission and not have to shift gears," Sullivan said.
He also said that drivers are finding it hard to replicate the EPA fuel economy results in "real-world driving."
A similarly equipped Fiesta with the standard 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine has an MPG rating of 38 on the highway, 31 in combined driving and 27 in the city.
Still, Sullivan likes the engine, saying that it is quiet and drives smoothly.
The tiny one-liter engine in the new Fiesta makes 123 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque — compared with 120 horsepower and 110 pound-feet of torque in the current base 1.6-liter four-cylinder. Put another way, the 123 horsepower delivers more power per liter than a Lamborghini Aventador.
The engine also features an overboost function that allows it to make more than 145 pound-feet for up to 15 seconds.

Progressive damage to the optic nerve head occurs in glaucoma. It results in loss of nerve tissue and loss of vision. There are different forms of glaucoma. The most common form is called primary open angle glaucoma, which is associated with an increased pressure inside the eye.
Advanced glaucoma may cause blindness. There are other types of glaucoma that may result with normal pressure inside the eye.
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the US according to the AOA.
Glaucoma is diagnosed with a thorough patient history, eye pressure measurements, visual field testing and other supplemental testing. Glaucoma is treated with medications and in more severe cases with surgery.
As we age, the lens inside our eye loses its flexibility, which makes it more difficult to focus on objects that are close. This condition is called presbyopia, and it is a normal aging change inside the eye. Early signs of presbyopia include holding reading materials farther and farther away, until one's arms do not seem long enough.
Usually presbyopia is treated with reading glasses, bifocals, trifocals, progressives, or contact lenses.
A cataract is when the clear lens inside the eye becomes cloudy. Most cataracts occur with aging.
There are different types of cataracts. They generally form very slowly. Early symptoms of cataracts are blurry vision and increased glare, especially at night.
Once the patient starts complaining of reduced vision and difficulty performing every-day tasks, the cataract needs to be removed. In the place of an opaque natural lens, a clear intraocular lens is inserted.
We provide cataract consultations and work closely with ophthalmologists co-managing cataract surgery.
Retinal detachment is when the retina separates from its attachment in the back of the eye. This often occurs as a result of a retinal hole, tear or break that can be located centrally or in the periphery. Sometimes this can happen when the vitreous gel separates from its attachment in the back of the eye. A retinal detachment can occur as a result of an injury. A dilated examination can help find an asymptomatic hole/tear that can be fixed with a laser, and prevent a retinal detachment. We also recommend dilation after any kind of injury involving an eye.
Symptoms of retinal detachment include flashing lights and a lot of black spots known as floaters.
LASIK, short for Laser In-situ Keratomileusis, is a procedure where a surgeon uses the laser to reshape the cornea and improve the way light focuses on the retina. It is a quick procedure with short recovery time. Most patients see an improvement in vision immediately after the procedure.
It is very important to choose a good surgeon. While any surgeon can do the procedure, only a good surgeon can achieve perfection with the least side effects.
Prior to having surgery, it is important to have a complete eye examination. If you would like more information about laser corrective surgery, please make an appointment for your exam and we will discuss different options as well as refer you to a trusted surgeon

In my day job I have the fortunate opportunity to get to meet and mingle with people in the community who have a lot of experience living. One in particular is turning 51 this year and is one of the younger people I see. Do not let his young age fool you. He is wise beyond his years. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that he may be one of the wisest folks I've met in person.
Last week I went out to call on this young man, let's call him Mr.S. One hour turned to two and then two into three. I had to tear myself away. He is just that awesome to talk to. We discuss politics and religion, two of the biggies on the list they tell ya not to talk about. Add some history and discussion of people and relationships and you get how deep these conversations get.
Last week me and Mr.S. talked about the relationships between young men and women. He said some very profound things that I want to share in this post. Going forward I'll paraphrase what he told me in italics:
No one is handing out well thought out advice to young men. They get a well of advice regarding getting laid, getting away with sleeping with lots of women, how to lie and cheat but for the most part no one dispenses advice on how to be a good person. Young men are applauded and patted on the back for being bad and getting away with it.
The biggest mistake that young women make is in thinking men are smarter than they actually are (his thoughts, not mine). The male species can only do one thing at a time. They are neither multi-taskers nor good at thinking through emotional situations. When you believe that he will understand what you need if you hint long enough you are incorrect. You must say what you want. Sit him down and tell him what you want, what you need, what makes you happy and what makes you feel wanted. That is the way he will know. He will never guess it no matter the number of times you hint. He needs logic, it's far more on his side than emotion.
Okay, that's the gist of that part of my conversation with him. Now, I believe there are a lot of very good men in the world. I am not a male and I'm sure I will never know better than Mr.S, what it's like to be male. I'm going to take his word on what he told me. I am sure he is right about young men getting terrible advice. They seem to get all the "sow the wild oats" advice and very little on how to be a good person. I'd really never thought about it until he said that. I do know from experience that it's best to ask for what you want and that is with most situations. I think most of us are terrible at taking hints.
Maybe we should rethink a few things. Maybe we shouldn't be so encouraging on the wild oat sowing. Maybe we should be firm on asking as much of our young men as we do our young women when it comes to being a good person. Maybe we should encourage women to speak more freely about their needs instead of trying to teach them how to manipulate others to get their needs met. Maybe when someone tells you all the ways they perceive they've been hinted at that someone may or may not like them we should make sure to say, "if they liked you, you'd know." No one is hinting that they want to be with you. If they want to be with you they will do it and not hint at it. No one has time for that game.
So, women be honest and speak your mind, Men forget all the advice you get about oat sowing and be honest. We are all in this together and the less we play at games the more real living we can do where no one has to do the guessing game.

Shut Up and Dance
"How do you do the claw part again?"
- overheard at a staff practice session for Thriller
This past week I got to participate in my first staff staff lip sync performance. The event takes place in this early stage of the school year in conjunction with our fundraising initiatives for our Terry Fox Run, and has become a fun and anticipated part of the calendar. But as mentioned, this was my first one.
Our school is not unique in our choreographed showcase for students. In fact, I was very impressed by the Salisbury High Staff Grad video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=KATD9DpGdkg) among several others making the rounds on social media. After every one I always say "That's awesome! We should do that!", and I am sure all of you do too.
It was amazing how quickly it all came together. Here's the honest part, about a week away from the event we were still conceptualizing what songs people were going to do, and we weren't even practicing yet. Then came the Monday before the Thursday performance, and the call went out announcing practice at 3:10pm. Soon, the gym was full, and everyone was getting into MJ mode.
Thirller is not an easy dance to replicate. Thankfully, we have some really talented staff members who took their own time to learn and master the dance, making it easy for the eager others to join in and follow. After three practices, we "had it", and were ready for the assembly on Thursday. The dance was preceded by a few amazing numbers (Shake it Off, Safety Dance, Life of the Party, Pen-Pineapple-Apple Pen, and Lose Yourself) before the ensemble cast of teachers took the stage for Thriller.
The message behind this post is pretty simple, sometimes you just got to put it out there. We talk about the need for our students to be collaborative, creative, risk-takers. Well, I can tell you that agreeing to get up in front of the school and strut your stuff to the complexities of Thriller embody all of that. More importantly, we as a staff created a collective experience with which we could share some good times and a few laughs. It was a collective effort and a lot of fun. So, if you're like me and you see one of those great staff videos and you wonder if you can do it too. Well, just shut up and dance.
If you're able to check out our Thriller, try www.facebook.com/daniel.polsky/videos/10101906038919731/
Finally, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I am thankful that you take your time to check in with my blog, and for the inspiration you bring to myself and our profession.

Tegher Monastery
XIII AD - Aragatsotn Marz
The monastery is located on the southern reach of Mount Aragats, in the province of Ashtarak. Its church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a sober cupola'd hall, was built in the 13th century. A gavit, with two chapels erected on its roof, leans against the west flank of the church. [Paragraph Source: Monuments of Armenia]
Continuing N. up the mountain from Aghdzk, one bears left at the fork to reach the monastery of Tegher* (176 v), made of dark gray basalt. The gavit, finished in 1232, is particularly impressive. The complex was built at the behest of Mamakhatun, wife of Prince Vache Vachutian, and the architect, according to an inscription on a column of the gavit, was the vardapet Aghbayrik. The ruined village has interesting houses and the remains of a funerary chapel. Taking the right fork, the road winds to Orgov (329 v), with several huge radio-astronomy telescopes, near the telescope one can see a huge mirror plate – an unfinished solar energy station and, in the W part of the village, remains of a Bronze Age cyclopean fort, beside which an underground passage was recently discovered leading to a neighboring spring.

Glenavy, Canterbury
One of our current projects involving a number of Babbage disciplines is the design and construction of Oceania's state-of-the-art processing plant. Spread over 12 hectares, the plant is designed for production of milk powder for export to China where it will be used by Yili to produce infant formula.
This is a greenfield site project and will be developed in two stages – it is expected to reach full capacity in the 2016-17 milking season. Stage 1 was commissioned in spring 2014 and is now operating at 60 per cent capacity, utilising 180 million litres of milk to deliver 24,000 tonnes of milk powder per annum.
This 10 tonne per hour milk powder drier is capable of producing a range of milk powders from standard whole milk powders through to specialty powders and infant formula. It will ramp up to an annual full capacity of 47,000 tonnes by the 2016-17 year.
The scope of this project has included many of our key services – civil works, storm water, water supply, roading and infrastructure.
For all of this to be enacted on time and within budget takes close coordination of all our teams and sub-contractors. It also requires innovation on design to meet resource consent requirements and reduce construction costs.
One such innovation is a specialised design for the storm water basins to match existing ground conditions (near surface impermeable layer) and provide greater soakage capacity for the large amount of storm water generated from the development.
The factory will ultimately employ 70 staff with around 40 farmer suppliers in the first season.
The facility will produce a range of products from whole milk powder, skim milk powder, infant formula, specialty powders and anhydrous milk fat.
This project will be delivered within budget and within agreed timeframes.

November 7th is Carl Sagan Day (on what would have been his 77th birthday). Fun fact: our birthdays are three days apart. This tradition (or rather periodicity) was started by the Fort Lauderdale branch of the CFI (Center for Inquiry) several years ago. It has since become a nationwide event sponsored by the CFI. As Carl Sagan might say, be there or be superstitious.
It seems there is a "cult of Sagan" brewing. I'm looking forward to the upcoming remake of "Cosmos" involving Seth MacFarlane and Neil DeGrasse Tyson (supposedly arriving on our planet in 2013). Next up, Richard Feynman day (May 11).
