"What are the odds?" It's an old metaphorical question that comes up from time to time when something bold or unique finds success. But some people may ask this question almost daily, and in a more literal sense. If fact, the most innovative designers contemplate that question, or a similar one, when they venture into new territory and wonder if their creation will be accepted or work in a particular environment. In many ways, this very question is the thing that drives risk and innovation. Anyone can explore Design MENA and ask this question when taking a look at the interesting designs and stories about personalities in the field of design. These are the types of stories and the types of art that inspire.
Taking a chance
But the question also comes up in other endeavors, particularly recreational wagering, and in the most literal sense. For years, tens of thousands of people have gathered at Meydan Racecourse for the annual Dubai World Cup of thoroughbred horse racing, and the have asked the question. From the great Cigar – at odds of 1-5 in the 1996 inaugural, to the durable Animal Kingdom (11-2) last year, the race fans got their answer and were paid accordingly. At racetracks like Meydan, the odds are pari-mutuel, according to the pool of betting among wagerers. But all sorts of recreational gambling involve figuring odds. A poker player, when trying to fill an inside straight, knows that there is a 1 in 11 chance of getting the card he needs. At the other end of the spectrum, a lottery player who chooses one set of six numbers, knows that the odds of hitting that jackpot are 1 in millions. So players seek to reduce the odds; the poker player usually folds the inside-straight play and waits for an outside straight or flush opportunity, where the odds are much better; the lottery player simply plays more sets of numbers.
Taking on the challenge
Because of the chances of winning, lotteries have the most challenging odds in gambling. After all, the jackpots are so lucrative, and like any casino game, the odds favor "the house," or in the case of lotteries, the state, province or nation that sponsors them. But lottery players know how to taper the odds toward success. They know that by playing several sets of numbers, their chances of hitting two, three or four numbers in any one set are increased. And today's lottery game is more than simply a matter of going down to the corner store, buying a ticket and crossing your fingers. Lottery players these days have the internet, which has opened up a whole new world for the high-volume player. For instance, someone who wants to play the EuroJackpot, has a specific website that offers all of the information he needs. EuroJackpot is a transnational lottery that pools wagers from 14 European countries. Going to the website, a person can get the results of the draws and more. Anything from eligibility rules to tops on playing and information on payment/withdrawal systems are available at the EuroJackpot site. This type of website is important to frequent players because it allows them to strategize and get their numbers down with just a few clicks of the mouse or taps of the tablet screen.
The regulations surrounding games such a EuroJackpot can vary, depending on where a players lives. That information is made clear at the website, too. But the Eurojackpot website is a good example of how the internet has made playing the lottery convenient enough to allow anyone to increase their odds.

Rep. Mo Brooks sounds off on current immigration crisis
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — Tensions over the immigration crisis don't seem to be easing up anytime soon. There have been numerous protests in parts of the country about undocumented men, women, and children coming into the U.S. The Obama administration wants Congress to act and supply funding for those illegally crossing the border. However, the president is getting strong push back from republicans like Representative Mo Brooks.
Brooks said the president needs to take responsibility, and find a cheaper solution to the problem. "It costs $500 for a one way trip airfare back to Guatemala or El Salvador or Honduras or wherever, you can solve that problem with just 25 million dollars," said Rep. Brooks.
President Obama is asking for $3.7 billion dollars in emergency funds to deal with the current crisis. A breakdown of that plan shows a large part of it would go to caring for unaccompanied children illegally coming into the country. "That's the equivalent of roughly two space launch system programs," noted Brooks.
Brooks thinks the multi-billion dollar plan has the potential to hurt the Tennessee Valley. He said it could put pressure on national defense. "Thereby harming national security and impacting Tennessee Valley jobs," he said. "It's going to put a squeeze on NASA, again, reducing our technological advancement capabilities."
Brooks doesn't think the United States has the money to spend and he fears most Americans don't realize that its money we can't afford to pay back. He thinks it will put pressure on every other part of the federal budget. "You can fix the problem by changing the law and immediately returning these illegal alien children to their families in their home countries for roughly 25 million dollars," he said.

The Bronx
A gunman opened fire on a South Bronx strip club, sending patrons and passers-by scurrying for cover, police revealed Sunday.
The shooter was caught on surveillance video walking past Sin City on Park Avenue, between the Major Deegan Expressway and East 138th Street, at around 3:10 a.m. Christmas Day, when he turned and fired several shots into the front entrance of the jiggle joint, according to police.
No one was injured, but the video, released Sunday, shows bystanders running for their lives and diving underneath cars before the unidentified shooter fled.
Cops nabbed two graffiti vandals who tagged a subway car in Richmond Hill, officials said.
Sgt. Jimmy Conwell, Detective Christopher Diaz and Officer Anthony D'Ascanio, were patrolling the subway station at Jamaica Avenue and 111th Street just after midnight Saturday when they spotted Tommy Martinez, 19, and Jeremy Cautin, 21, sitting on a bench near a J-train car that had just been vandalized, cops said.
Diaz noticed Martinez trying to close a backpack with spray-paint cans inside, while Cautin had one green latex glove and a can of spray paint protruding from his jacket pocket, according to police.
The three plainclothes members of the Transit Bureau's Vandal's Task Force say Martinez painted "FEAL" in letters that were 10 feet wide and nearly 4 feet high on the subway car while Cautin acted as a lookout.
Both men were charged with criminal mischief, making graffiti, possession of graffiti instruments and trespass, police said.
A city Department of Sanitation worker was pulled over for a traffic violation in East New York and wound up under arrest on a weapons-possession charge, according to officials.
Dandy Montalvo, 35, was driving his 2006 Pontiac with no taillights at around 12:20 a.m. Sunday, when he illegally passed another car on the right, police said.
Officers pulled him over and found he had a knife in the car and was driving without insurance, police said.
Montalvo was charged with insufficient taillights, passing a vehicle on the right, driving without insurance and weapon possession.
Three suspects are wanted in connection with the murder of a bodega worker in East New York, according to police.
Video surveillance released Saturday night shows the first suspect unlocking the door of the 797 Deli Grocery at Stanley Avenue and Cleveland Street on Friday morning.
The first suspect is seen entering the deli and returning with his head hung low and a black plastic bag in his hand.
A second man then walks into the store and exits a short time later with an unidentified object in his hand.
A third suspect stands lookout on the corner.
Soon after the men were caught on tape, cops found deli worker Hisham Zidan, 55, dead inside the bodega's bathroom with cuts and bruises on his head.
The cash register was on the floor with change scattered around it.
The store's security system was missing, but the suspects were captured on a surveillance system nearby, according to police.
A Fairway employee has been charged with the murder of a co-worker and friend who was stabbed to death outside the supermarket's warehouse in Manhattanville, police said.
Jovanny Paulino, 25, was slapped with charges of second-degree murder and felony assault, cops said.
Paulino was in an argument with pal Pedro Miguel Payero Valerio, 22, at the wholesale grocery outlet on 12th Avenue near West 135th Street at around 1:45 p.m. Saturday, cops said.
The fight continued across the street, in front of the Hudson River Cafe, where Paulino pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim in the chest, cops said.
Valerio was rushed to St. Luke's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Where: RFK Stadium
TV: Channels 3, 6
Radio: WTAR-AM 790
Vinny Testaverde is still the key to the Bucs' offense, but the coaches have removed some pressure with a smarter, more controlled, attack. He has problems reading defenses he hasn't seen on film, but nearly half of his 35 interceptions last year were deflections or Hail Marys. Young Mark Rypien of Washington is in a similar situation but, despite making just 14 starts, he has been more productive and is getting better. (Advantage to Washington).
Tampa Bay doesn't have one of the NFL's greatbackfields, but it makes defenses pay attention. Tailback Lars Tate is strong and is capable of big numbers. William Howard is a true fullback, a pile-driver who blocks well and has decent hands. Washington has the third-best running game in the NFL, but the Redskins have yet to dominate a game with Gerald Riggs. H-back Earnest Byner has become the team's most valuable player. (Advantage to Washington).
No team can match the Redskins' quartet of Gary Clark, Art Monk, Ricky Sanders and Earnest Byner. Mark Carrier is the Bucs' man to watch, but he's more dangerous after he catches a slant or post pass over the middle. Bruce Hill and rookie Danny Peebles are the speed guys, but the Bucs feature a more controlled passing game this year that features nifty tight end Ron Hall working the seams and Howard behind the line. (Advantage to Washington).
Much of the Bucs' optimism for the 1990s is based on a big, young unit that has already become one of the best pass-blocking lines in the league. It's especially strong at the tackles where the Bucs love to run behind bruisers Paul Gruber and Rob Taylor. Center Randy Grimes is having another Pro Bowl year. The Hogs of Washington are still the best at protecting the passer, but they aren't dominant on the run. (Advantage to Tampa Bay).
You have no reason to have heard of Reuben Davis, Curt Jarvis and Robert Goff, but the Bucs' trio has recorded 41 quarterback pressures (hits or forced passes). They are adequate against the run. The Redskins quartet, solid if not spectacular, may see rookie Tracy Rocker, the Outland Trophy winner last year, make his regular season starting debut in place of left tackle Markus Koch (bruised ribs). (Advantage to Washington).
Washington has allowed Wilber Marshall to become more active, but this unit isn't making big plays. The player to watch on the Bucs' side is Kevin Murphy. Tampa Bay always rushes one of the outside linebackers, and Murphy is usually the guy. He leads the team with eight sacks. If Murphy doesn't rush, Winston Moss will. Insiders Ervin Randle and Eugene Marve mostly stay at home and protect gaps. (Advantage to Tampa Bay).
The Bucs' foursome plays soft and allows a lot of yardage, but they are smart and make a lot of interceptions. If there is a weak link, it's at free safety where young Odie Harris will replace Harry Hamilton (injured knee). Only four teams have allowed more passing yards than Washington. Opponents have had success by picking on cornerback Brian Davis and by throwing to tight ends and running backs behind the linebackers. (Advantage to Tampa Bay).
This game features two of the NFL's most accurate long-range kickers in Donald Igwebuike of Tampa Bay and Chip Lohmiller of Washington. But Bucs' punter Chris Mohr lacks Ralf Mojsiejenko's distance and accuracy. Neither team has returned a punt or kickoff return for any substantial distance, but A.J. Johnson of the Redskins has been getting close to breaking loose on kickoff returns. (Advantage to Washington).
The young and improving Bucs appear to have the advantage in the trenches, but that doesn't necessarily translate into a total advantage. The Redskins' strengths are in the skill positions. Unless Vinnie Testaverde flashes the form that made him an outstanding college quarterback, the Redskins' big-play passing capabilities can quickly make up for their disadvantages. (Advantage to Washington).
The key for the Redskins is to establish the run. The basic way to attack a soft 3-4 defense is to run with power at the tackles and to cut back inside when the linebackers and safeties begin to overpursue. Running back Gerald Riggs' bruising style is suited for this type of attack.
Another reason for establishing the run is to bring the Bucs out of their soft, man-to-man, shell. Depite intercepting 12 passes and covering six fumbles in six games, Tampa Bay's defense is conservative throughout.
The pass rush, which incorporates the outside linebackers, is designed to encircle and keep the quarterback in the pocket before committing to the sack.
The two cornerbacks play several yards off the receiver and the safeties usually protect in a two-deep alignment.
THe idea is to be sound, always in position, and not allow big plays. And it works because of the closing speed and aggressiveness of the safeties and linebackers.
The Bucs rarely force teams to punt after three downs, but they rarely allow big plays. Washington has had the most problems against teams that play this kind of defense, most notably Phoenix and the New York Giants.
The Bucs' offense is nearly as conservative as the defense. They load up the run behind a big line and turn to a controlled passing game in obvious passing situations.
Former Heisman Trophy winner Vinny Testaverde, who started 19 games his first two seasons and threw 41 interceptions, has benefitted from the new emphasis on a strong running game and shorter passes.
He's playing more under control, isn't forcing long passes into a crowd, is scrambling less and has been intercepted just five times in five games.
The Bucs' offense is keyed to running big Lars Tate off the tackles and throwing over the middle to tight end Ron Hall and receivers Mark Carrier and Bruce Hill.
Carrier is a lot like Mike Quick of Philadelphia. He's at his best working intermediate routes and making big yardage after the catch. Hill usually runs deeper routes over the middle. Hall, a big target at 6-4, 245, does an excellent job of clearing over the middle and working into seams behind linebackers.
Hall could have a big game if Testaverde throws to him on first downs. Hall has a size advantage on strong safety Alvin Walton and a speed and size advantage on middle linebacker Greg Manusky.
If the Bucs need points in a hurry, swift Rookie Danny Peebles will generally run the deep patterns.

Never afraid to tackle the most divisive issues on campus, Online Comment editors Dave Reynolds and James Bennett discuss whether you should be queueing for a pint in The Ram.
It's lunchtime in the Ram and you're absolutely starving, craving some chicken bites and curly fries. You'd fancy your chances of getting served fairly quickly at the bar given a free-for-all but for no apparent reason there's a queue running right down the walkway towards the pool table. What on earth is going on?
We've consulted quite a few people on the issue and the majority do not understand why a queue forms but feel obliged to join it anyway. Why then is nobody brave enough to fight the status-quo and make that leap of faith? It is difficult pushing in as the fear of someone having a go at you for doing so is quite a deterrent.
"There's no need to queue. This is just like any other bar" is shouted out by one of the bar staff on many occasions but nobody appears to listen. People just seem to love queuing.
Those who were in favour of queuing described anyone who pushed in as rude, obnoxious and down-right un-British. How dare somebody get served before someone who arrived earlier?
The layout of The Ram also doesn't help the situation. A queue can form quite naturally as it is all fairly narrow, and once a few people start a queue at the front, it becomes quite difficult to skip it.
You have to wonder why Exeter students are so keen to to form an orderly queue in pursuing their pint, but come essay deadlines it's a veritable free-for-all at any Bart submission desk. Among the pyjama-clad, paper-clipping masses you're lucky to survive the ordeal without an elbow to the ribs or a stapler to the temple, let alone the idea of an orderly line come 09:56.
So, maybe we should all stop queuing in The Ram and get served on the merit of our ability to fight through people, look authoritative and wave cash under the bartender's nose in true British style.

September 19th 2015 the exhibition / installation Multistable Fields opened in the atrium of the main building at Lund university. Here's the synopsis:
The main building of Lund University was inaugurated in 1882. In the building conceived by architect Helgo Zettervall the rational quest for knowledge of Academia is enmeshed with a world of mythical symbols. Sphinxes and griffins meet deans and professors. Suggestive symbolism and ornamentation inspired by the worlds of classical antiquity meet contemporary rituals and processes.
The exhibition Multistable Fields by Robert Willim has been specially made for the atrium of the building. It is based on two works (In Praise of Other Places and Chambers – Atrium/Pyramid) that emphasise tensions in the meetings between academic knowledge and the unknown. In these meetings some dimension merge and generates new knowledge and values, while other dimensions remain estranged. Like in the interpretation of multistable images and fields constant shifts of perspective are required to create meaning and understanding. The work with the exhibition has been guided by thoughts on ethnographic surrealism.
In Praise of Other Places is a series of prints based on altered images extracted from the timeline of the audiovisual performance Possible Worlds. The performance was a commissioned work for the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm in 2014, which has since then led to a number of iterations. The aim was to let the artist examine the ways museums and ethnography take part in the rendition of worlds and how imagination and mediation is in constant interplay. How can dreamlike fragments of other places be evoked through altered layered compositions? The images in the series consist of interweaved layers that have been transmuted using digital and analog techniques. Everything from light reflections to the limitations of various file formats have left media-specific traces and influenced the transmutation process, hereby making the interplay between enhancement and distortion intrinsic to the work. One of the images, in which a symmetrical object appears, differs from the others. The object recurs in a number of Willim's works.
The sound installation Chambers – Atrium/Pyramid is based on site-specific sounds, composed to reshape the aural space and to generate a dreamlike ambience. The sound used has been recorded in the atrium as well as in the anechoic chamber, which is part of Humlab at the university. The sounds recorded in the anechoic chamber stem from the object that appears in one of the images of the exhibition. The sounds have been convolved with reverberation from the King's chamber in the great pyramid at Giza.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

The business energy market is broken. We're on a mission to fix it.
We believe that clean energy doesn't have to cost more. That's why we provide the platform for growing businesses to buy direct from generators in a safe and cost-effective way.
Buying electricity directly from renewable generators delivers a better deal for the generator and for growing businesses.
By working together we can help accelerate the transition to 100% clean energy.
To put it simply, clean energy is sourced directly from only wind, solar & wave generators that are clean and sustainable.
Some suppliers may say that their energy is "renewable" or "green", however when you read the fine print you will find that they also include dirty energy from burning biomass.
By buying directly from clean generators, we can guarantee that all of your business energy is not just clean, it is 100% Squeaky clean.
We believe in fairness, transparency and doing business with decency. We became a B Corp as a commitment to those values.
Please go ahead and compare our prices with the Big 6 - we'll beat any of their published tariffs for clean business electricity.
With our previous business Utilyx we invented a way for big businesses to buy directly from generators. It's how Google buys their energy, for example.
We've now worked out how to make this same technology available to any size business.
It is quite simple. We track and certify all of our generators enabling you to buy directly from the source, meaning you get verified 100% Squeaky clean energy without the premium.

Ann Shogren
Abstract expressionist Ann Shogren depicts vivid landscapes, and paints tapestries of colors that have simultaneously calming and rejuvenating effects on her audiences. Having lived in Iowa, Utah, and the California Wine Country, Shogren draws inspiration from the landscapes that surround her, creating energetic, colorful compositions that seem to have their own life upon the canvas.
Though Shogren begins each painting with a plan, she allows herself room to change and adapt to what she feels the painting requires to capture the energy of the surrounding landscape. The carefully chosen colors, which contrast, compliment, and clash with each other all at the same time, give life to Shogren's paintings and create the dynamism that viewers find so compelling and relatable.
Shogren began her career remarkably early, selling her first painting at the age of 8, and still shows no sign of slowing down. She received her BA in Fine Art at the University of Iowa and her MBA in both Business and Management at the University of Portland. Shogren's vivacious work has been showcased in many public and private collections throughout the world. Collections that show her work include the Louvre, Paris, France, where she was a featured artist in the SEE.ME Exhibit; the 2013 Venice Biennial, Venice, Italy; the GZ Basel Art Fair, Basel, Switzerland, where she won a silver award as well as being featured in galleries in Springdale, UT; Santiago, Chile; Santa Fe, NM; Glen Ellen, CA; and Healdsburg, CA.

2013 British Jazz Award Winner - Best New Album 'Too Much in Love to Care'
Named 'One of the Best Albums of 2012' by Jazz History Online.
Claire Martin has been a driving force behind the UK jazz scene for the past 25 years and has won many accolades, including a British Jazz Award no less than six times. Her massive contribution to UK jazz was noted in 2011 when she was the proud recipient of an O.B.E. in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for her services to music.
2011 saw Claire return to the States where she performed sell-out shows at The Lincoln Center with pianist Bill Charlap and The Algonquin Hotel in New York City with Sir Richard Rodney Bennett. New York City was also the location for her latest recording Too Much in Love to Care which she recorded with guest star Kenny Barron at Avatar Studios, one of the greatest recording facilities in the world.
They were joined by bassist Peter Washington, drummer Kenny Washington and guest Steve Wilson on saxophone and flute.
Too Much in Love to Care is a collection of classic romantic songs and beautiful ballads from The Great American Songbook with many of the tracks recorded in just one take, remarkable as it was the first time Claire and Kenny had played together.

This project can be found here. All the information below is copied from this source.
We live in a stacked world. The unending array of floor slabs do very little to further the human condition beyond limited, linear, regular, and expected. The city of the future is a multivalent hybrid reliant on strong infrastructure. While the current street grid and utility infrastructure have facilitated changes for centuries, the limit to its effectiveness and expansion is tied directly to its horizontality. The most common solution to densification is to stack volumes, insert a circulation core, and then subdivide the resulting spaces. This approach repeats the ineptitude of the street grid by rotating its vector perpendicular and extruding the form. This affords little flexibility in the variety of spaces or in the ability for the resultant tower to grow and change over time. In order to adapt, we must look for alternative organizing strategies to accommodate our changing needs.
As a matter of necessity, natural systems continually reorganize until the best possible solution is realized. By analyzing data generated by natural physical phenomenon it is possible to extract mathematical rules that replicate the physics of nature, so rather than conforming to column and slab construction techniques, a skyscraper based on nature results in a streamlined structure that:
Minimizes materials.
Accommodates variable programs
Grows and evolves over time.
These three properties represent the tenets for successful future tower design. Two-Dimensional and Three-dimensional Voronoi tessellations are now commonly applied in architectural concepts as a means of dividing space based on irregular data points. While this results in aesthetically interesting design, the translation into the built environment is ineffective as Voronoi is used to study data relationships instead of structural ones.
The field of protein research developed an accurate formula for defining properties of foam, a natural-world analog of Three-dimensional Voronoi. Foam is an incredibly lightweight and efficient structure that is the basis of soap films, bone, sponges, and coral, among others. Instead of relying on a scatter of points, it is based on the packing of spheres in the same way that cells aggregate and ossify over time into structural systems. By assigning program to spheres of varying radius (program spheres), the architect packs program according to common requirements such as adjacencies, access to sun, views, etc. The program spheres can then be converted into an accurately modeled Three-dimensional array of irregular planar polygons using scripts designed to follow the protein structure algorithm. The intersection of irregular polygons creates a structurally sound network of tetrahedral nodes that can be thickened to form the tower infrastructure.
In order for each program sphere to be modeled correctly, additional "ghost spheres" must be packed around the program sphere cluster. These ghost spheres set the geometry for future expansion of the foam tower infrastructure. As growth dictates, ghost spheres may become new program spheres, and allow for growth over time. Adjacent sites may be acquired to facilitate structural connections to the ground.
A packed, cellular structure encourages a new way of thinking. In our foam skyscraper, the concept of neighbor is drastically changed. In a typical tower, one might have only six neighbors. In foam structures, adjacencies exist in up to 27 directions. To shift from a stacked environment to a packed environment, we create a revolutionary change in how we think about skyscrapers as tools to facilitate our social, cultural, and economic evolution in the 21st century.

TruStory: Charlie the Boxer
Our boxer Charlie will be 11 years old in March of this year. Charlie has been a member of our family since he was 13 weeks old. We enrolled him in the Vet Insurance program (now Trupanion) almost immediately, because we never wanted to make health decisions for Charlie based on financial circumstances. Our experience with your plan has been absolutely exceptional! Charlie has always been given the best of care since he has been with us. Our Veterinarian and the rest of the staff at our clinic have always helped us provide the very best proactive and preventative canine care. Even so, Charlie has had some medical issues over the years which we have had to address. It has been through these times that we have prevailed upon our Trupanion plan and have never been disappointed. We know that other pet owners with other plans have not been as fortunate. So, from Charlie and his Family, thank you for your comprehensive plan and exceptional service. YOU ARE FIRST CLASS ALL THE WAY!!!
Tim and Nicole Greengoe (Victoria, BC)

Location: Pulau Bontosua, Indonesia
Collaborators: Hasanuddin University (Indonesia), University of California at Davis
Goal: Determine the impact of coral reef restoration on island fisheries - catch, fisher behavior, and income.
Significance: Research outputs from this work will contribute to the growing interest in the feasibility of coral reef restoration for improving livelihoods and food security in small island communities.
Background: Destructive fishing practices have severely damaged coral reef systems throughout Indonesia. Not only do these methods kill fish and other organisms, but the blasts also destroy coral skeletons and prevent new coral recruits from building a reef. The consequences for coral reef fisheries are dramatic, leading to changes in relationships within communities that are dependent on reefs for food security and livelihood. Coral restoration may provide one way to rehabilitate the reef system and positively influence fisheries, but there is doubt as to the social and ecological scalability of such approaches.

Samuel Abbott of Dover, New Hampshire. Tall clock.
This is a very attractive tall case clock. The case is constructed in cherry and features in it's construction mahogany cross banding and several interesting inlay patterns. These creatively formed patterns are spread throughout the design of the case. The base stands on cutout bracket feet. The union of the feet form a simply shaped skirt. The feet are visually separated from the base panel with a decorative line inlay pattern. The front panel of the base is framed with a cross banded mahogany veneered border. The waist section is long and features a rectangular shaped waist door. This door is also cross banded in mahogany and is trimmed on the outside edge with an applied molding. The sides of the waist are fitted with inset reeded quarter columns. Both of these terminate in brass quarter capitals. The bonnet is surmounted with a pierced and open fret work. The three reeded plinths each support a decorative brass finials. The bonnet door is arched and fitted with glass. It is also cross banded in mahogany along it's outside edge. Fully turned bonnet columns flank the sides of this door. They feature a subtle ring turn design and are mounted in brass capitals.
The iron dial is colorfully painted. It was locally made and painted in Boston. It was most likely painted by Samuel Curtis of the Curtis Manufactory. This dial features American shields in each of the four spandrel areas. The arch of the dial is decorated with fruit. This dial is signed below the calendar aperture by the Maker Samuel Abbott. This script signature is now faintly displayed. The subsidiary dial shows the seconds and the opening below the center arbor displays the date of the month.
This movement is constructed in brass. The plates retain a number of casting flaws that do not effect the performance. I simply point these out to suggests that it is a locally or anAmerican product. The movement is weight driven and designed to run eight days on a full wind. It is a time and strike design having a rack and snail striking system that will strike each hour on the hour. This is done on a cast iron bell which is mounted above the movement.
This clock stands approximately 7 feet 10 inches tall to the top of the center finial. It was made circa 1815.
About Samuel Abbott of Dover, New Hampshire, Boston, Massachusetts and Montpelier, Vermont.
Samuel Abbott was born in Dover, New Hampshire in 1791. He was the son of Stephen Abbott and Mary (Gile) Abbott. On August 10, 1813, Samuel married Jane Day of Concord, New Hampshire in the small village of Boscowen, New Hampshire. Soon after, the newlyweds move to Dover and Samuel opened a jewelry shop. It is in this small southeastern New Hampshire town that Samuel began his career as a clockmaker, watchmaker, silversmith, and jeweler. Samuel and Mary had two sons. Their son John Sullivan Abbot worked in Montpelier, Vermont in similar trades. In 1827, Samuel moved from Dover to Boston, Massachusetts. He is listed in the Boston Directories as a clockmaker in 1827 through 1831. After leaving Boston, Samuel moved North to Montpelier, Vermont. He first advertises himself as clock and watchmaker in January 1830. In 1831-32 he formed a partnership with a Mr. Freeman as Abbott & Freeman. Abbott was again listed as watchmaker and jeweler at Montpelier in 1849 and in 1860 in the New England Business Directories. He lived there until his death on May 4, 1861 at the age 70. Examples of tall clocks, shelf clocks, New Hampshire mirror clocks, lyre wall clocks, and patent timepieces have been found. He is noted for his distinctive three-pillar, "grand piano" shaped timepiece movements. Many of these clocks are found with a teardrop shaped pendulum keystone.

In 2015, I moved over 800 miles from Orange County to Humboldt County California. In the months and weeks before the move, I prepared for this massive studio relocation by evaluating all the work I had made to date. I sold, gave away, and gifted 100's of paintings, mixed media, and collages before the move. At the time, I knew a new body of work would emerge. I had faith in my creative journey.
Upon arriving in Arcata, the natural beauty surrounding me filled me with promise and awe. No longer having the desire to work in toxic materials I resorted to my first love as an artist — drawing. I consciously decided to forgo color as well, temporarily. Opting for black ink on Bristol paper for this body of work. Simplifying and minimizing, while still allowing for complexity and intricacy.
In this gallery, what you see is a literal representation of my move made visual. I physically relocated and I also transitioned artistically. Using introspection and intuition as my guide, I drew daily. Many of my drawings have been small postcard sized images that I mailed throughout North America to my loyal followers. By continuing a daily practice, a new idea emerged. Fortunately, I had kept a small number of my encaustic paintings made from 2013-2015. I took these paintings and I made drawings from my own work. Circling back while also moving forward.

Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon Electrical Problems
I thought i maybe better take the truck out for a boot and see if everything works,half an hour after my last post. Its pouring rain out right now.I started down the road and drove a good 1/8 mile b4 i thot i needed to turn my wipers on.OMG,they dont work..lol. I went around the block a couple times checking everything else.I stopped and restarted the truck 3 or 4 times.I tried my remote for my keyless entry.Yayyyyy.It works!! Wipers dont but.......lol. While driving around the block a few times i started wondering if i put a fuse back in the wrong spot for the wipers.Hmmmm. Could i have? Got home, popped the hood and sure enuff i did.lol. What a relief!! Everything seems to be back to normal now but im now scared to roll the drivers side window down. I think a new battery is in order tho,what with winter coming and all. I'll just make sure that i wait a few hours to install it after disconnecting the old one.And i definitely wont be going to a dealer to get it!!! :shades:0
Yeah, you have all the symptoms of the window/lock/battery thing. Disconnecting the battery may work, for me it was just the window module in the door. It may work for a few says, maybe a month. The problems will come back sooner or later. Get the thing running then sell it before it becomes an endless money pit.
It really comes down to which is the problem, the chicken or the egg kind of thing. Did the low battery cause the electrical problems or did the electrical problems cause the dead battery? It seems the two are related, the low battery and the weird electrical problems. It could be bad grounds causing feedback and stuff to fry. It could be the bad fuse block if you haven't replaced it. It could be bad programming on in the computer modules. Perhaps low voltage gets causes error codes in the computer modules. There are many things is could be, and any one of them could cause problems with the others, so it is virtually impossible to solve. It's impossible to tell if the problem is actually 'the problem' or just a symptom of something else that is the root cause.
You could take it to a good mechanic and spend $$ having them chase the problems. Or you can try a Chevy dealer, but I didn't have much luck with them randomly replacing parts. Needless to say I am pretty disgusted with Chevy service.
A couple things you should be aware of if you didn't know already. The head needs to be replaced on the trucks. There was a recall on that. The cylinders go flat because the head was improperly constructed. There was also a SB to replace a fuse block. This can't be the main problem because I had mine done yet I still had the ongoing electrical problems. My fuse block was actually burned. There was also a recall on the tail lights. They could stay on, they could fail completely, but... "Don't take your truck in unless you experience these issues". Uh-huh, wait until you get rear ended at night, then bring it in. (Well, that is what Chevy is good at, rear ending customers IMHO).
Again, seriously, your best bet is to get rid of the thing. I really loved my Colorado. If it was well built I would still have it. For its size, utility, gas milage, on paper it looks like a good vehicle. But... these weird electrical problems do not go away. It is simply a poorly designed system that Chevy did not stand by and rapes their customers over. If you want to experiment and "hope" for a while like I did, good luck to you. If you actually want to try the apologizing "Customer Care" reps from Chevy, give them a shot, but report back if they were able to do something except open your wallet.
The alternative is to get with a car company that actually stands by their product. I've never heard anything but good about Toyota. I'm not a fanboy of non-American products, but there's a limit of what is reasonable for a person to expect. Like I say, if nothing else, trade the Colorado in for a Chevy Volt and wait for that to burn up so they will buy it back, but I wouldn't hold my breath on the Colorado.

Thank you for your feedback on our services. I completely understand why many of you are on the forums looking for information; some because you don't trust your dealer, some because you are out of warranty and looking for a less expensive fix. I'm not sure you completely understand why I am here on the forum. I'm not here to drive business to the dealers or even on behalf of the dealers. Dealers are our eyes and ears in the field yet they are independently owned and operated. I am here on behalf of GM. I am here to listen to your concerns and report the concerns to GM; however, I am not a technician nor can I diagnosis a vehicle via the internet. Therefore I have to have the vehicle diagnosed by a dealer to report the proper concerns as well as attempt to have them addressed by GM as well as the dealer. I understand this can be frustrating for you that I don't have more technical information, but we do have the ability to contact dealers to see what's going on or what the hold up is. GM is working to improve our customer service and so we are out here to hear you and your concerns and assist you. Each case is handled on a case by case basis. I can tell you that our service on different forums has helped us and many customers. Feel free to email me.

That is a good explanation and thank you for it. It is just frustrating that this "Drivers window, door lock" problem has not been addressed by the GM Pro's or troubleshooting team as to what is causing the problem. As a former GM Tech Mechanic, I have narrowed down the problem to either a voltage supply problem to the door/window lock module, or a "window/lock" drivers module problem or replacement. After using dielectric grease on all the drivers window module connections of my Colorado, the problem has not returned yet. All the disconnecting batteries and the various "shade tree mechanics" mentioned before is not really a FIX. Rest assured that if other people have done these things and the window/lock problem goes away, THEY WERE JUST LUCKY as the problem appears random and will cure itself sometimes for a while. My truck has actually had the problem 3 times. Cured itself twice just by waiting a month or two, and the last time I greased the connections as I mentioned before (and sofar no problem). I am convinced that there is no problem with the BODY COMPUTER OR MODULE HAVING TO BE RESET, ETC.

There is a purge canister on or near your fuel tank, it opens and closes releasing tank pressure, evap. system, if is closed the tank pressure can't be released and your fuel "backs up" the fill tube, luckly mine stuck open and I could fuel it with no problem...just shy of 400 cdn to replace it, is your check engine light on? If really ambitious follow the line next to the fill tube and locate the canister..give it a smack! never know! Good luck..0
"I am here on behalf of GM. I am here to listen to your concerns and report the concerns to GM..."
Well, Christina, Camran, Sarah... and uhhh, "Peggy".... Yeah nothing personally against you guys, I know you are trying to do some kind of job on behalf of GM.
The truth of the matter is the Chevy rep in our area made a very bad call when I had the initial problems with the truck. After the initial $750 fiasco of replacing the BCM that would cure the problem, then the fuse block, then the battery, then buring up the blower resistor while testing, I had worked out a deal with the dealer. They finally had to agree that all these things that happened in a three day period couldn't all be coincidence. They offered to cover $250 (out of their holdback probably), if I would cover $250 and they said Chevy would cover $250. Ok, fine... except the Chevy rep wouldn't cover the GM portion of the $250. I called the "customer care center", you know, the outfit you work for... the woman on the phone gave me all the "we apologize for your frustration" BS and said the best I could hope for was the five oil changes and a tire rotation, a "package worth $450 dollars!". About $40 bucks in oil and an impact wrench is not worth $450 dollars.
Chevy and GM should be a footnote in history like Packard and Studebaker, not a nationalized car company "too big to fail".
Ya know, if you want to take a "message" back to GM, it would be one of "don't be penny-wise and dollar foolish". The little $250 bucks that Chevy rep kept in the company has cost GM a lot more than that in future sales as good will.
If you want to do what is right, push them for a recall on the truck. That is what should have been done in the first place.
GM= :lemon:0
Thx for you input on the purge cannister. I dont think i can reach it as i think it is on top of tank.Someone else in here said they took their truck bed off to get at it? Not a job I'm really into...haha. Is this another BS item installed by gm so you have to bring your vehicle in for service? Where did you get the price of $400 to replace it? Was it a dealer or a private garage or Canadian tire? My engine light was on b4 i disconnected the battery,for a few weeks. I drove to work today and back(25 minutes one way) and the light never came on. When i arrived at work i immediately released the pressure built up inside by taking the gas cap off.Made a whooshing noise. Air release or whatever.I might try getting under there again and give something a smack..lol.....Thx again0
Dennis.I'm sure you are a fine mechanic. Sometimes electricity works in mysterious ways.I am an electrician.I know firsthand. Altho alternating current being different than direct current. Pretty weird how it never happened to me before until my battery died. Obviously some design flaw in the computer or something when full power is lost,affects the memory or program of the computer. I read alot of posts in here and the same story over and over is mainly that peoples batteries died.Not always tho. Most people admitted to leaving something charging in their truck,lights on, stereo,cooler plugged in etc etc. As for electricity works in mysterious ways, listen to this story. 10yrs ago lightning hit the tree directly beside my driveway,directly beside my plymouth voyageur. The tree was about 5 ft away from the van.I never saw the lightning strike as it happened in the middle of the night,but the next day there was a circle on the side of the tree where the bark had blown away from the tree. About the size of a frisbee.About a foot off the ground. There was bark stuck in the trim on the van. On the driveway there were pit marks all over the asphalt driveway. All close to the van. Around 20 or so. They were the size of a quarter and about a quarter inch deep.One 15 amp fuse in my house had blown.Only one. My neighbour said he heard a loud crack in the middle of the night during the storm and thot for sure that his house or mine got hit by lightning. Ok now to the point of my story. All the guages and dashboard lights didnt work in the van. gas gauge,speedometer,lights. Anything electrical on the dash didnt work. The headlights worked, taillights,turn signal, etc all worked. Drove it for a few days without having a clue to how fast i was going, how much gas i had and at night with no dash lights was hell. Didnt matter anyway. No gauges worked. No fuses on the van were blown. Took it to a mechanic who said the whole wiring harness was fried,or part of it.He said i should go thru insurance as it could cost up to $3000 to repair. He showed me where he thot it was melted. Told me to reach in and feel. I couldnt feel nuthing as it was all wrapped with a soft tape. I dont think he spent much time with it after hearing the story about it. I called my insurance company and took it in.The mechanic (dealer no less)said the wiring harness wasnt fried and that lightning didnt hit the van at all. This was a conversation on the phone. After work that day the insurance estimator called me and was arguing with me about how lightning couldnt have hit the van.He said that there was a short somewhere in the harness and that just normal wear and tear had caused something to short out. Somewhere in the conversation i told him i was an electrician and he said that i should know that it is excess current that would do the damage to wires or whatever and that lightning just has high voltage and no current.I said "Whatever dude!!!!!!! High voltage is high voltage!!!! And that no one truly knows how lightning works"!! What a friggin moron!! I told him to come over and look at my driveway if he didnt believe me!! Of course he wouldnt do that.The next day i was on the phone with the mechanic yelling at him cuz he was adamit that lightning definetily did not hit my van. He was yelling back at me too. I said "Are you calling me a liar!!?" I took my van to a dealer of my choice too. So i dont think the dealer was in cahoots with the insurance company,trying to save a claim or whatever from going thru. Maybe they were in cahoots. Who knows?All i know is that he was just a friggin moron who didnt know squat!!!!! I know the van got hit, or had trace amounts electricity go from the tree to the van. Or to the driveway and to my house too. Man was i pissed though!!!!!0
OMG christina. You just dont get it do ya? The dealers are a bloody rip-off, understand? $100 just to plug it in for diagnosis.If GM really cared about their customers, and you being a GM representative, then you should start talking to people in your company about why this constantly happens. If you cant explain the technical stuff, then have a gm mechanic or engineer come on here and explain it. .Is that all they pay you for is to come on here and ask for VIN #'s and tell people you will kindly guide them to the nearest dealer? Pretty simple question that you would have to ask someone from GM. Ok,ready now? "Why is it that the drivers side window only, and the power doorlocks, and the keyless entry just all of a sudden stop working? "Alot of the cases are when someones battery goes dead or is dying". |" How do they fix it it?" "There are over 500 posts on one website alone, so it must be a common thing to happen" You said that you are here on behalf of GM,and you are here to report our concerns to GM. Have you reported our concerns? One concern is that we would like an answer. Thx......0
biscuit8 Posts: 1I own a 2006 Colorado, it has been an excellent truck up until recently. My engine light came on, once I replaced the gas cap and the light went back off (Oregon we can't pump or own gas, so idiots constantly over tighten the caps), now my light is back on but I am not sure if I should bother paying out all the money for that fix. Because, six months ago I started having issues with my driver side window. I took it to a repair shop and they said it was the regulator and motor. So I had that replaced and paid out about $300 in total for labor and parts. But it turns out that it wasn't the issue. They tried to hand my truck back with the window half way down because they couldn't get it to work again. After complaining to the owner of the shop the dimwits manually put my window in the up position. I drove home and all of a sudden my truck wouldn't lock. The lights flashed and my dome light went off but my truck was fully unlocked. I tried to actually lock it with my key and it locked the driver side only and then the key couldn't unlock my truck. Thankfully I could get in the passenger side to hit the button. After playing with my key pad a few times, my truck magically locked and unlocked like there was never an issue. Though my window still doesn't.
Now after reading all of these posts, I have a delimma do I possibly go through all of the BS the rest of you have gone through or trade it in. This really sucks because I only have two payments left. I could pay it off and let it sit and get a different car but I'd still have the issues sitting there waiting for my wallet to open up again and again. :sick:0
I'm sorry to hear this. Can I get a better understanding of a few things?
Was the repair shop a GM dealership? Have you worked with Customer Assistance already on this concern?
Thanks in advance,

It was at the local G.M. dealer here in Dartmouth Nova Scotia, that 400 included tax and an oil change...maybe by occasionally releasing the pressure you'll be o.k. they told me it was o.k. to drive it with the engine light on but I couldn't stand looking at it! lol...and with it on you don't know if anything else is going wrong, got to love the emmission system!0
I still like one of the earlier posts comparing "GM cust.serv." to the popular tv commercial. "Hello.. Dis Peggy! how I help you?".. NO points use CREDITS now.. G.m." customer service" isn't that sort of an oxymoron? like Militay inteligence,Honest politicain?
Does the word RECALL come to mind???!!! Kristina you know what RECALL means right??!! RECALL, to bring something back from where it originated? RECALL,RECALL ,RECALL!!!!! But I guess that ALL these post don't add up to enough for a RECALL!!!
I bet if instead of the colorado we all were wealthy enough to go and purchase the Volt A.K.A. "Start,stop and BURN." why G.M. might do something for us besides the jelly of the month club/oilchange, tire rotation. Some earlier advice was to trade your colorados in on this (the Volt.) vehicle because G.M. is offering to buy them back.. GOD can America really afford ANOTHER bailout??!!0
I have read through most of these posts. I too am experiencing issues with my 2006 GMC Canyon. The dash lights will flicker occasionally. Sometimes the blower motor only works on level 4. The radio loses some of its settings. Usually I am not able to dim the dash lights with the lever. It just simply stays on one level. And finally, the truck has died on me when turning corners. Very strange electrical issues. Now without going through ALL of the posts. Has anyone found a cure all for these common issues?
Not to be a "Wise-n-hymer." but do yourself a favor like others of us have done, UNLOAD IT B-4 IT'S TOO LATE!!!!! Had same issues,G.M./My dealer/G.M. service dept. Did NOTHING to help!!!
Traded it off on someone elses product,have not been sorry. Found out thru friend at dealer where I traded it off, poor sap who bought it brought it back 3 days after purchase complaining of "Electrical issues??" Buyer beware of used cars!!0
Good morning, Wes,
If we can look to see if there are any recalls associated to your vehicle, or if you were to decide to work with a dealership to diagnose your vehicle and would like assistance, please send us an email with the last 8 digits of your VIN.

wes0110, the blower issue is the plug connectors that contact the blower resistor, located above the passenger's feet area under the dash next to the motor. You can do the factory repair or if you are into soldering, I cut the plug off the harness and cleaned the connector terminals by removing plastic around the connectors with a hot knife. I cleaned and soldered new wires to the terminals and connected the wires to the existing harness with butt connectors commonly found at a parts store. This was a permanent repair at this point for the blower speeds. There is a factory bulletin about this issue, but it cost me less than $5.00 to fix my way.
The other electrical issues you have are not common with this thread other than the issue of stalling when turning corners which may have been mentioned here.
If you have a window/door lock issue (this thread), the problem is either the door/window module connections, module itself, or electrical supply issues to the module. This module is the actual drivers door switch and is easy to remove and replace. Disconnecting the battery and messing with the body computer is not a fix and sometimes causes things to work again just because the time was right for it to start working again, not because you really did anything to the body computer.
The body computer WILL NOT cause stalling issues with the engine, so you can eliminate that.

Hi Dennis, to your post... There were earlier posts about the weird electrical problems with the dash lights and instrument cluster. There is also an issue with the CD player not playing CDs.
It's interesting what you say about the door module and power to it etc... I found cleaning and replacing the door module would reset the window/fob thing for a couple of days, but then it would return, dead battery window/fob problem. My DEALER absolutely assured me that the problem had "nothing to do with the door module", (that was when they were replacing the BCM etc). They also told me not to "believe anything on internet" because they were "the experts".
The next time I had the door/fob thing (dead of winter, window down 4 inches when it was 20 below), I passed on the "knowlegable dealer" option and had a competent mechanic work on the truck. Know what they found? Like you said, no power coming out of the window module. Imagine that? Huh. The window module was replaced, which was like $350 more dollars to Chevy. Perhaps they can be found cheaper or used at a junk yard, but once again... replacing parts randomly may work, disconnecting the battery may work, sacraficing a virgin over the engine compartment may work... hit or miss, intermittent (but expensive fixes that may or may not work long term.
Anyway, I've followed your posts with interest and what you have said makes a lot of sense. It is certainly a lot more helpful that those that care enough trying to get people without your expertise into a GM dealer to spend more money. It really kills me... for FIVE YEARS, 500+ posts, and Many, MANY people that have had this whole fob/window/battery deal and all GM can do is say they never heard of the problem before, or get the truck to a dealer for "specific diagnosis". What BS. There is obiously a reoccuring problem and their has to be a common solution... but it isn't important enough for GM to address.
I know the Colorado and Canyon were not big sellers for GM so it probably goes that supporting the owners is "small potatoes", not enough to worry about.
To say that the truck was misdesigned is an understatement given the recall on the head, the tail lights, the fuse block and whatever else. When was the last time you bought a new vehicle and had to have the head replaced? I love the recalls, "Your head may be bad but don't bring it in to a dealer unless you have problems" (or the warranty expires). Same BS with the tail lights that may or may not fail, but "don't bring it in unless you have a problem".
I have to say, I had a lot of good memories where the Colorado was involved, trips out west, hunting trips, camping trips, snowy trips in blizzards. I really liked the truck. I have to say though, it was the first vehicle I ever traded where I didn't look back one last time, it was more "good riddens".
Really sad.
Anyway, Dennis, thanks for your posts, I think they are the most helpful.0
Call me stupid, but i just cant figure out for the life of me, what the hell "FOB" stands for. LOL. Can someone please endulge me....lol...thx0

Figured it was the keyless entry but why the hell do you call it fob?...lol Is that something only in the U.S.? Never heard of that expression up here in Canada. Thx. Its just called "remote"...lol0
Was wondering myself...turns out it's a noun meaning an object attached to a chain, like a pocket watch...nothing to do with what it is...weird I know,0
Fob stands for... ummm, ahhh, Fob.
I've asked this of serveral people, nobody knew a good answer. "Freight On Board" is what is typical but that makes no sense. The dictionary definition is "A chain attached to a watch for carrying in a waistcoat or waistband pocket".
I can tell you what GM stands for though...
This is my first GM must admit that I do like the truck, so far...2008 Canyon Crew,, have had it almost 2 years...90,000 kms on it, only cost so far is a purge canister...not bad from what I've seen here. Recently put a remote starter on it and have had some strange things happening...security light coming on as I drive ...as well as dome light coming on when I stop...it displays that a door is open when not true...maybe took my luck too far with the remote..going back to installer Monday to inquire..0
I know...I should unload the truck and move on. But I have grown up with General Motors vehicles and I really was hoping that it would work out. I am so sad that there are so many issues with such a new truck. You would think that the corporation would take the extra step to resolve and satisfy their customers. I can remember riding around in an old GMC pickup and being proud of the quality and craftsmanship. Times sure have changed!0
bmmetheny Posts: 1My Canyon is having a major meltdown. the windows dont work... locks wont work, with the switch or clicker... radio clock and presets reset 100% of the time when truck is turned off... takes a second or two to turn over to start... environment blower works off and on... battery died, checked it with a meter (dead cells), changed it and everything seems worse now!! WTF!! HELP PLEASE0
Christina? Sarah? Do you have an answer for bmmethheny about his electrical meltdown? Windows, locks, and more.Sound familiar? Another new person every few days on here. If there are over 500 complaints only on this forum,I can only imagine all the people who have taken their trucks in to get serviced who havent complained on here. Say only 10% have complained in this forum. Thats probably way high for an estimate. More like 1 %. Lets say there has to be at least 5000 trucks out there that have had this problem. Most people in here love or loved their truck.Alot of us will probably sell their truck now and go buy someone elses other than GM's. Are you going to let that happen ladies of general motors? A little ford ranger is looking pretty good right now. Couldnt find hardly any complaints online about ford. I do love my 2007 colorado, for now. Purge cannister is stuck closed right now and makes it hard to pump gas. Supposedly a $400 fix. Im going to hold onto the truck for now, and hopefully.... thats a BIG hopefully......nothing major goes wrong with it. Because if it does. Bye bye Gm forever. Was even thinking of getting my wife an Equinox. Might have to start looking at something else.0
How did your trip to the installer go? Hope that things were resolved. If not, please let us know.
I can see why you are frustrated. Where was your battery changed? Are you interested in working with a dealership?

I thought you guys were here to take feedback back to GM, not reaallllly to try and drum up dealership business. Seems to me that's kinda the only interest you guys seem to have with this thread. Am I wrong?
How about posting something useful for the poor folks that still own their Colorado's and Canyons, something like... "We apologize to all of you that have been frustrated with your GM dealership lack of service and knowledge with these reoccuring problems. We are issuing a recall..."
Now that would be something useful.

Just stopping by sharing my Valentines Day decorations I put up in the living room. I just love after christmas sales. I got that 6 1/2 ft white tree for 17$ at Wal-mart. :) The glittered 3d heart ornaments were 1/2 off at the 1$ store. How cool is that!! Notice the re-purposed paper chains, from here? All the rest are hand made. The heart cookies were made from salt dough. I'll have to give a tutorial on those sometime! They're great! Don't you love the pink red and white candy corns in the jar on the mantle? :) Hope you have a great weekend! We are spending our weekend fixing up a bunch of unfinished home improvement projects. Yippee!

Cirque du Soleil's Dralion - Images by Independent Weekly
* * * stars
PNC Arena
Through Aug. 19
Cirque du Soleil is a global juggernaut, but it's still a surprisingly youthful institution. In contrast to, say, those 19th-century animal drivers Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey, Cirque is a babe. Officially dating to 1984, the Montreal-based troupe exploded in the 1990s. In the middle of that decade, the troupe developed an Eastern-themed show called Dralion. The show focused on Chinese acrobatics and became a huge hit, running for about 13 years.
In 2010, the show was revived for arena tours, and that's what audiences see this week at PNC Arena. We caught the show Wednesday night at Raleigh's PNC Arena. We can report that the show is filled with dancers, singers, tumblers, trampoliners, aerialists and an impossibly ripped guy who does this thing with a "crossed wheel" routine. The latter comes early in the show, as Jonathan Morin tumbles onto the stage in his self-invented device of two steel circles, intersecting in the shape of an egg. Morin does a variety of spins, cartwheels and flips with the device. It's amazing, inventive stuff, the sort of thing people come to expect of Cirque du Soleil. However, the routine goes on for a couple minutes too long—and it's not the first time in the evening that we have that feeling.
You wouldn't know from watching the show, but Morin is playing a character called Kala, who is described thusly on the Cirque website: "Kala is the heart of the wheel that represents time and the infinite cycle. He is the internal propulsion of the wheel that makes time evolve. It is the ongoing circle of life."
There's a lot of this "ongoing circle of life" stuff in this production. A group of dancers and singers establish what seems to be a narrative framework, although we can't understand the invented language the trio of singers sing ("an invented language to which only Cirque du Soleil holds the key. Their mysterious accents echo down through time").
Nor do we know exactly what is meant by the character called The Little Buddha, who steps forward at the beginning of the show (after the clowns have warmed up the crowd) and meaningfully brandishes an oversized sand hourglass. Our lives are finite, I suppose. Time is running out in this circle of life. For those interested, the website helpfully tells us that the "Little Buddha is the chosen child. Although it possesses special powers that will allow it to eventually become an Âme-Force, it dreams of being just a regular child."
What's an Âme-Force? "L'Âme-Force symbolises ultimate harmony between the four elements."
OK, it's best not to peer too deeply into the story of Dralion, when it's really just a mostly solid evening of human tricks and stunts, topped off with some gorgeous, death-defying aerial dances over center ring, and a thrilling wall trampoline routine at the rear of the stage (the Wall Street Journal recently reported that many ex-Olympians, especially gymnasts, divers and synchronized swimmers, find work with Cirque du Soleil.)
Some of the routines are rather rote, particularly the Chinese male tumblers. While there's no doubt of their extraordinary athleticism, one comes to Cirque expecting to see something fresh and mind-blowing, and a dozen acrobats jumping through rings, and rather uninspired Double Dutch jump-roping, doesn't quite meet that standard. The clowns were decent, and an recurring gag involving an audience member produced a solid payoff.
Given that this show, which lasted more than two hours (including an intermission) was specifically adapted to arenas, it was surprising to see some basic technical problems. Only the lower bowl of the arena was open, and the show played to 12 sections at the east end (sections 102 through 121). The problems came from the lighting: sometimes too much, sometimes too little. The spectacular wall trampoline routine, at the rear of the set, nonetheless could have packed more punch with better illumination.
Worse was a subsequent aerial dance routine by performers in white dresses, which was essentially conducted in the dark, with only the color of their outfits making an impression. The overall lighting ambience was made worse, too, by the brightness of the aisle lights in the arena. While the fire code is no doubt a factor here, one wonders if it would be possible for the arena's operators to dim them.
Too often, when I wanted to get lost in the phenomenal athleticism of the performers, I kept being reminded that we were in a hockey arena.
But it's still Cirque, and it's still a spectacle, albeit a pricey one with tickets ranging from $45.70 to $160.20. To be sure, it's my first time seeing them, but I couldn't help but suspect that the work that made this company famous is being done somewhere else right now, perhaps in one of their many permanent Las Vegas shows or perhaps one that's passing through Dubai or London or Cape Town.
Wow! That was an epic review.

Lewis goes five to secure Saints' win
St. Thomas' seven-game win streak snapped
DULUTH, Minn. – Matt Lewis came in relief of starter Kyle Jensen in the top of the fifth and allowed just two hits in five innings of work as ninth-ranked St. Scholastica (23-4) extended its win streak to nine games by outlasting St. Thomas, 4-2.
Jensen got two quick outs to begin the game, but back-to-back doubles by JD Dorgan and Drew Cremisino gave St. Thomas (15-14) a 1-0 lead. The Saints responded in the bottom half with Kyle Flagstad's one-out triple. He then scored on a wild pitch. After a Joe Link single and a Kyle Moody hit by a pitch, the Saints executed a double-steal to put runners at second and third--Link's 31st stolen base of the season. Link would come home on a Brandon Peterson sacrifice fly to make it 2-1 after one.
St. Thomas, which saw its seven-game win streak come to an end, quickly tied the game in the top of the second on a Justin Novak groundout. It remained tied until the bottom of the fourth when, with two outs, Brian Marshik and Flagstad each picked up RBI singles to plate two runs and make it 4-2.
The Tommies were able to get runners on third base in the sixth and seventh innings, but Lewis did not allow any damage. He induced a J.B. Korte groundout in the sixth and struck out Tim Kuzniar looking in the seventh. Lewis then sat the Tommies down in order in the eighth and ninth to earn the victory.
Lewis struck out four and walked one to improve to 7-0 on the year. John Licht picked up the loss for the Tommies, allowing all four runs in 6.1 innings.
Link was 3-for-4 to lead the Saints at the plate.
This was the second match-up of the season between the schools. St. Scholastica defeated St. Thomas, 10-6, in the season-opener on March 6.
Cremisino and Tim Kahle each had two of St. Thomas' six hits.
