WHAT is it about Boston and musical cult figures? The opera producer Sarah Caldwell and the pianist Russell Sherman are merely the more prominent of recent decades. If a musician can make it there, in that hotbed of musical culture and tradition, you might think, he or she can make it anywhere. But such has not always been the case. And that circumstance may suit Boston just fine, for the city's musical mavens seem to enjoy being in the know, remaining ahead of the curve, focusing an obviously superior eye on the prize.
The quintessential cult figure of the moment is Benjamin Zander, a 60-year-old conductor and the founding music director of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. Mr. Zander, who was born in England, has become a mythic figure in Boston and, more recently, London (another city with sometimes arcane musical predilections) for idiosyncratic interpretations of Beethoven and Mahler that some find revelatory.
On Wednesday evening, Mr. Zander will take the Boston Philharmonic and several New England choruses to Carnegie Hall for the orchestra's first New York concert in 16 years, a performance of Mahler's monumental ''Symphony of a Thousand.'' Some 450 performers are promised in a reprise of a presentation given to great acclaim last March at Boston's Symphony Hall, completing the orchestra's survey of the Mahler symphonies over its 20-year history.
In a further bid for broader recognition, Mr. Zander has begun to record Beethoven and Mahler symphonies with the Philharmonia Orchestra of London for Telarc. The first products are performances and (on bonus CD's) extended discussions of Mahler's Ninth Symphony (CD-80527; two music CD's) and Beethoven's Fifth and Seventh Symphonies (CD-80471). Whatever else they may be, they are not redundant even in the most crowded of markets.
The Beethoven Fifth, in particular, will shock most listeners with a rush through the famous opening motto that flouts not only performance custom but also accrued extramusical meanings, whether suggested by the composer (fate knocks at the door) or appended by history (V for victory). Mr. Zander was a lonely early advocate of Beethoven's original metronome marks, which have long been disputed, because they result in performances far faster than modern listeners are used to hearing -- faster indeed, some insisted, than the works could be played. If it was not Beethoven's metronome, a primitive model, that failed him, the argument runs, then it must have been his inner ear, as deafness progressed.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Zander's tempos tend to outstrip even those of more recent converts to the cause of kineticism, like Roger Norrington and David Zinman, and the Philharmonia players show that the music can not only be played at such tempos but also played virtuosically. The eighth-note rumblings in the third-movement trio section that Beethoven's original double bassists bemoaned for their difficulty are a walk in the park for the British bull fiddlers.
For that matter, Mr. Zander showed in a 1992 release of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, reissued two years ago in England by Carlton Classics, that even the Boston Philharmonic -- consisting in roughly equal parts of professional, student and amateur players -- could presentably negotiate a blistering pace. At 58 minutes, this performance would have fitted comfortably on an LP, let alone a CD, with its 75-minute capacity expressly determined by the typical length of a Beethoven Ninth performance.
What musical sense those tempos make, especially so rigidly pursued, is another matter. These well-worn ears, for reasons perhaps unsound in terms of a literal reading of the score, continue to prefer a certain deliberation, flexibility and weight in Beethoven. Despite wonderful moments in Mr. Zander's renditions, a listener often has the sense of hydroplaning over the music, unable to get a firm grip on its substance. Though exhausting in their sheer freneticism, the performances seem lightweight, at times even perky. (Beethoven may have been frenetic on occasion, but perky?)
Mahler, happily, did not trade in metronome marks. In this music, Mr. Zander professes to value ''enormous freedom'' above all. ''The music cries out for this,'' he once told a Boston interviewer. ''It is not about being precise and clean. It is about being expressive.''
And indeed, the performance of Mahler's Ninth Symphony could hardly diverge more from those Beethoven interpretations -- except in its zeal to make points. Tempos tend to be broad, threatening at times to bog down altogether. Dynamics are often exaggerated at either extreme in typically wide-ranging sound from Telarc. Mahler's copious expressive markings receive full attention.
Unlike Telarc's Beethoven disc, the Mahler Ninth stems from a concert performance, in 1996. Partly for that reason, no doubt, the Philharmonia's playing is generally less cohesive. This is, too, a bigger and more sprawling work than either of the others. And as Mr. Zander told the Boston interviewer, of a performance with the Boston Philharmonic, ''To play with this kind of freedom, we had to rehearse a lot.'' Having lavished 22 rehearsals on that performance, he undoubtedly got far fewer with the Philharmonia.
WHAT the Telarc discs ultimately provide, in lieu of fully satisfying performances, is an interesting provocation, though not necessarily any of those signaled in the conductor's detailed explanations, spoken, ''sung'' and played. Taken together, the recordings make one wonder why it should be assumed that because Beethoven, in keeping with the practice of his time, used fewer expressive markings than Mahler, he cared less about expression. Bach, in keeping with the practice of his time, used fewer markings still, and we can hardly doubt that he expected many expressive touches -- even whole flourishes -- not printed in the score.
In music, as in so many other areas, the deeper we venture into the past, the fewer the certitudes. Numbers mesmerize the modern mind, seeming to offer fixity, clarity, a direct and indisputable measure of ''right'' and ''wrong.'' From there it becomes a short step to valuing a quality that can be pinned down in numbers above all others, as Mr. Zander seems to do in his Beethoven performances.
With Mahler, he is on firmer ground. More impressive than any of these recordings is another earlier release reissued by Carlton, this one of Mahler's Sixth Symphony, from 1995. The quality and conviction of that performance, with the Boston Philharmonic obviously rehearsed to within an inch of its life, bode well for a reading of the ''Symphony of a Thousand'' to win over even the most skeptical New Yorker.Continue reading the main story

Was it worth it?
I've been doing some work under what I call the "Continuous Improvements" banner recently. These tend to be small bits of automation that help our report writers. They aren't massive projects, and are often just changes to the report templates to help with consistency.
We asked them a couple of questions about recent changes that were focussed on a specific report. The questions were "What did you feel about working on the report before the changes were made?", and then "How do you feel now?". Fortunately, for me, all the scores went up. The best uplift was from a 1.9/5 average score to a 4.1/5 average score. This made me feel like the changes were worthwhile. But that was only half of it. The team also got to add comments to their scores. And a couple of them said that I'd saved them 5 or more minutes per report.
With the help of this diagram, and the knowledge that the team write 50 or so of these per day, I worked out that I'd saved them 9 months over the course of 5 years. Or almost 2 months per year. All for at most a days effort - split across talking, doing, testing, communicating and releasing.
So yes, that really was worth the time. Not only have I helped them feel better about writing them, I've saved them time as well. Win!

Who here is excited for the range of facial cleanser from Dove Indonesia? A range of face cleanser that are suitable for skin types: normal -dry (blue), oily (green) and dull (pink). I had the opportunity to attend and witness by myself how amazing Dove face cleansers are with Beauty Journal by Sociolla.
The event took place in JS Luwansa hotel, not that far from my house but boy oh boy, traffic was a pain. It was nice to be able to spend time with my fellow blogger friends and what makes it special is we have the chance to break the fast together. It is all about together-ness, respect and equality.
Did you know that Dove face cleanser contains the nutrium moisture beauty serum in every tube? It is for a beautiful, soft and glowing skin. What makes this cleanser is different from the rest? as you can see below, the BA was demonstrating how amazing the foam from this cleanser. It can lift up a small plate which means, it has the ability to lock the moisture and keep the skin fresh. Psst! it is also the first face cleanser in Indonesia with a beauty serum!
This special ingredient is added because our skin has the thinnest texture and cells among the rest of the body's organ (also it is the biggest organ in our body) therefore it loses the nutrients and moisture twice as much. The Nutrium Moisture Beauty Serum helps to keep and return the nutrients and moisture every time you wash your face. The foam of this cleanser is different, it has the strong ability to lift up dirt without making the skin tight and dry. This is proven by the picture below, how the foam is able to lift up a plate.
Here is me trying out the skin check for moisture level, i found out that my moisture level is normal but once i used the cleanser, it actually increase the level of moisture so it is proven that it locks and return the nutrients and moisture after washing it.
Of course the event started by a representative from Beauty Journal by Sociolla explaining and welcoming all of us very warmly. The sharing session opened with 3 amazing ladies behind Dove and it is always great to be able to spend and getting more knowledge about skincare with Dr. Melyawati Hermawan, spkk agreed that our skin do have tiny cells that are prone to be sensitive therefore the right cleanser is needed. Ibu Fiona Anjani as the head marketing Face Care PT Unilever Indonesia TBK explain that a hectic activity is one factor that cause our face skin to lose its moisture and that is why Dove Facial Cleanser with Nutrium Beauty Serum will maintain its nutrients and moisture on the skin. Ibu Widyawati Salim as the R&D Manage Skin Care PT Unilever Indonesia TBK explain that Nutrium Moisture Beauty Serum is a combination of Stearic Acid and Glycerin which are the ingredients for moisturizing that helps to fix the skin barrier and increase the water level within the skin. Therefore Dove Facial Cleanser with Nutrium Moisture Beauty Serum is able to absorbs liquid as well as locking it to maintain the skin moisture and nutrients.
I actually have tried Dove Face cleanser before. I have an oily skin and I prefer my cleanser not to tighten my face after using it. I found a very comforting sensation after using Dove Face Cleanser for normal skin. It didnt make my face feel tight and of course the smell is amazing! It has a fruity refreshing scents. As you can see the packaging is efficient with a flip open tube cap with a soft plastic material that makes it easy to squeeze and get the product.
The cleanser itself has a creamy texture that gives a smooth silky feels on the skin. All of them has a white color cream texture regardless the types of cleanser. The consistency is lightweight, not too runny nor thick. You only need a pea size to form a rich lather and gives a satisfactory feeling. It gentle cleanses the face and replenishes moisture deep down the skin, leaving a non dry, beautiful, clean and smooth skin behind.
Did you know that this product contains petroleum jelly? *after i research of course* that locks the moisture and it doesn't contain sulphur so saves the skin from a harsh effect.
Dove Facial Foam Beauty Moisture is for normal, sensitive and dry skin to give the skin its nutrients and maintaining the moisture. Dove Facial Foam Deep Pure is for oily skin or combination skin. Dove Facial Foam Inner Glow is for dull skin. All of these three variants are aiming to maintain the nutrient and skin moisture.
So far I am impressed with these cleanser, out of curiosity, i have tried all of them and my fave is the blue cap for normal skin. I love the scent, i love the creamy texture hence the result of a more moisture skin. I love the scent and how it feels very soothing on the skin while and after washing.

New Hampshire's revenue system is relatively unique in the United States, as it lacks broad-based income and sales taxes and instead relies on a diversity of more narrowly-based taxes, fees, and other revenue sources to fund public services. This system presents both advantages and disadvantages to stable, adequate, and sustainable revenue generation.
ITEP Work in Action
Advocates and policymakers at the state and federal levels rely on ITEP's analytic capabilities to inform their debates on proposed tax policy changes. In any given year, ITEP fields requests for analyses of policies in 25 or more states. ITEP also works with national partners to provide analyses of federal tax policy proposals. This section highlights reports that use ITEP analyses to make a compelling case for progressive tax reforms.

Here's a quick peek at some pretties that sold this weekend:
Exquisite and HUGE larimar pendant on a long Bali bead necklace. This is the largest larimar pendant I've ever worked with, and the most expensive necklace I've ever made.
Aptly named "Better Than Prozac", this cheerful necklace is made out of handmade lampwork beads -- 125 of them, to be exact! It sold in the first two hours of Friday, and the woman who bought it wore it out of the booth, and came back later to say she was constantly stopped and asked where in the world she got it. I was sad to see it go (I so loved it!) but it couldn't have gone to a nicer person.
This dramatic piece went to one of my best customers and a terrific friend. Two strands of amethyst and a strand of pearls frame a large Tibetan silver pendant -- a gorgeous showpiece.
This bracelet is made with handmade lampwork glass I picked up at a bead store while taking a class with Stephanie Sersich and I immediately knew they had to go into this chain maille bracelet. I made the chain, but the name keeps escaping me. I'll remember it..... later.
This one was waiting for just the right person who could carry it off -- and it looked stunning on her. It has a lot going on and it is so pretty, especially in person when you can see it glitter and hear it as it moves. Handmade lampwork beads, rose quartz, Swarovski crystal, vintage lucite, cubic zirconia, Bali silver, and a handmade PMC clasp by Joanie Croyder.
Just a few things!
I'll have new things on the web site, http://www.lorianderson.net/, very very soon! So please keep checking it, clicking the What's New link for the newest creations, and thanks for reading the blog!

We first met Christine in late January 2016 and she was interested in attending our Mindful Movement and creative crafts course.
She was extremely low in every aspect of her life, her wellbeing scores being a reflection of this. After talking and spending time with Christine, she informed me that she suffered from a number of conditions (arthritis, myalgic encephalomyelitis, depression and an eating disorder).
Due to Christine having mobility issues she was unable to participate in moderate exercise so mindful movement was perfect for her ability. A concern for Christine was her weight and her lack of confidence in herself.
Christine attended all six weeks of the course feeling more able to speak and share experiences with others in the group each week. By the end of Christine�s first course she felt she had the confidence to join a local chair based exercise class along with an eating disorder support group.
Christine said �since I have attended these courses with Wellbeing Enterprises I have met new people and this has helped improve my confidence where I can now go to groups outside of Wellbeing�s support� and �my eating disorder has always been a difficult area of my life but through Abbey being able to connect me to a local support group has helped me to manage so much better�.
Christine is continuing to attend more courses with Wellbeing Enterprises to continue with her confidence building and making more friends

War of Wings Feast
The meal turned out really well. The biggest disaster turned out to be the guest list, we had some missing people and ended up with a lot more leftover than planned but that's not so bad. People wandering by were pretty impressed that we had a high table set up in camp in such a primitive camp site. The food turned out well, everyone enjoyed it, and no one got sick, so I count that as a win! Here's what we ate -
Bread - I made a honey wheat bread in the dutch oven. While not necessarily a period bread recipe, baking in the coals is a period method and it was a lot of fun. The first loaf turned out beautifully except that it got charred on the crusts. I ended up giving it to the rest of camp and they made quick work of the inside of the loaf, leaving a scary carbonized crust. The second loaf sort of collapsed a bit in the middle but baked perfectly and was still tasty. I think the over wasn't quite hot enough but as this was the first time I had baked in the dutch over on my own I think it went pretty well.
Pumps - Medieval meatballs. These are really tasty and were a big hit. I've made these twice before and decided to double up the recipe this time, which turned out ok but if I do this again I will need a bigger pot as they didn't cook as evenly as I would like. The balls need more room to float around in the broth.
Buttered Worts - I used spinach this time, though you can use a range of leafy greens for this dish. Last time I did this I had spinach and mustard greens which was quite nice. This time I simplified the cooking, sauteing the leeks in a large pan over the fire in butter, then adding the greens then a bit of the stock from the pumpes. When the greens were done I dumped everything over the sopes. Very good and much easier than all the boiling, though I suppose the boiling may be necessary for some greens.
Roasted Turnips - again simplified the preparation by turning this into a single-step baking process, baking it in the dutch oven. Worked fine and was very tasty.
Lumdardy Tart (beet pie) - Yum! People had no idea this was beets until I told them. To be fair, there is some debate about whether the recipe refers to beet root or beet greens. I used beet root, and more than called for than the redaction linked, and it was good. I've seen other people use Swiss chard, which might be interesting to try some time, but this is a tasty version that people like.
Apple Muse - Basically applesauce, with a twist. If you can't get saunders, I would suggest cutting back on the honey and being careful with the saffron, perhaps adding a bit more salt. Do NOT use food coloring, the saunders is doing more than adding color (I found this out the hard way the last time I made it). It was a very nice dish a good way to end the meal, and is REALLY nice with a bit of heavy cream and powder blanch on top. Be sure to use the best apples you can get.
Pears in Syrup - I like to add cinnamon, galangal, mace and a bit of nutmeg to the spice mix and try to always use turbinado or demara sugar for the extra flavor. The leftover are killer on french vanilla ice cream. This makes for a nice, light-ish dessert and is very easy to cool over the fire, you can set it in the cooling coals and pretty well forget about it until you are ready to plate it.

My, that looks a pretty impressive feast. Well done you for making the effort. And shame on your guests for not turning up! How ill-mannered of them! I hope you were able to find some hungry warriors to eat up the left overs. Congratulations on using traditional methods out in the field.ReplyDelete

Once you have submitted all the required documentation and attended the interview, the staff of the Refugee Sub-process will issue a recommendation on whether or not you meet the criteria for being recognized as a refugee. The Visas and Refugee Commission will analyze this recommendation and will issue a resolution approving or denying this condition.
If you are recognized as a refugee you must request your immigrant ID in the country. This document certifies the protection that you have received by the Costa Rican government and you will enjoy all the social, economic, and cultural rights on an equal footing with Costa Rican citizens. If your request is denied, you have the right to appeal this decision.
As an asylum seeker, the law establishes that you are responsible for following up on the process, appearing periodically before the General Office of Immigration and Aliens (DGME) or before the Administrative Migration Tribunal (TAM), in order to be acquainted with the status of your application for refugee status.
You should always be contactable and available to both the DGME and the TAM (as applicable). This means that you are obliged to provide and update your phone number (your landline and your cell phone number) and provide a fax number to receive notifications. You should immediately report any changes of your phone number or home address.
If you do not comply with this obligation and you cannot be contacted to be notified of the outcome of your claim for refugee status, there is a chance that your file may be archived. If this happens you might miss the deadline for submitting appeals in the event that your application is denied. If this happens, you would remain in an irregular migratory status and you could be deported to your country.
The organizations are there to support you and give you advice on the process of applying for refugee status, but remember that it is your duty to maintain contact and to be contactable.
It is important for you to know that you have the right to request a work permit if three months have passed since you began the process of applying for refugee status and you have not received a decision. The three months are counted starting from when you completed all of the required documentation.
The work permit request will be reviewed by the Department of Refugees of the Office of Migration, which can recommend that the Directorate General provide you with a provisional document that includes the right to work. With this documentation you will be able to engage in any kind of work as an employee, or work independently in compliance with the local laws.

We came across a great opinion piece in The Christian Science Monitor, Want better students? Teach their parents. Author Jerome Kagan, a professor at Harvard, discusses the importance of parents in the preparation of children for school. The article highlights problems faced by children raised in families with limited education. Kagan points to a Tufts program of early intervention using ten, two hour home visits to work with the parents of economically disadvantaged two-year-olds. Low-cost limited interventions with parents seems to have an effect. We encourage you to take a look at the article.
Fortunately this past November, Arizona voters rescued our First Things First Program, which targets funds to early childhood development. Sadly, parents who need services to improve their educational potential were not so lucky; all state funding for GED was eliminated in the last legislative session. This seems counterproductive if you are trying to encourage families with limited education to prepare their children for school.
To learn more about preparing adults to help their children go to these web sites: Tucson Area Literacy Coalition, TucsonLiteracy.org and Pima Community College Adult Education. You may also want to check out a program that has had success in Arizona and other states, Parents as Teachers. You can find out if they are in a location near you by putting in your zip code here.

In case you hadn't noticed, the Liberal media is constantly complaining about our president and how our president "overstates" his accomplishments. Much of the positives that have occurred under president Trump have even been attributed to Obama. When the so called "Trump effect" hit the stock market, the market soared. Of course, many Liberals made the claim that our last do nothing president somehow magically made that happen. That is just one example. The reality is that the stock market reacted to his pro American jobs and manufacturing stance.
Has Trump even started making America great again? Yes, he has. He has kept more campaign promises than any president in recent memory. How has he started making this country greater than before? Well, let's find out why Trump will make America Great again.
1. Restoring patriotism and pride!
One of the biggest things that Trump has done is relight the flame of patriotism in the USA. Something the left hates. In today's United States, we have just exited eight years of a president that consistently preached about how terrible we are as Americans. How awful we have acted in the world, while constantly holding Islam up on a pedestal. He would even refuse to call Islamic terrorism radical Islamic terrorism and seemed to almost excuse these terrorists. Having pride in your country is not a bad thing and in fact makes a country stronger in the long run.
2. Making other NATO countries pay their share, so we can spend less!
Another thing Trump has been bashed for and accused of flip flopping on is his stance on NATO. During his campaign, he said that if other members of NATO continue to contribute less financially to NATO, it is useless to the United States. Apparently, many on the left and the right didn't hear the first part to that sentiment and only heard the latter half. Since he has played a tough roll with NATO, most countries involved have started putting in their required share of money into the system which in turn has made it so that America is not carrying most of the burden financially like before. That is a good thing.
3. Eliminating government waste and unneeded spending!
Trump has cut and or lowered funding to many programs like DHS or the welfare system. Many were outraged because they were terrified they might lose their benefits that they receive. However, the reality is that it will force these programs to find ways to operate with less. They will now have to seek out and find redundancies in the system. A lot of our tax dollars go to the same thing more than once within a lot of government agencies and Trump is trying to correct that issue. Trump also cut funding to unneeded programs like PBS and the Arts. This move also outraged a bunch of people because they felt that that meant these institutions will now have to close their doors. It is quite the opposite being that these companies and institutions already receive millions from donors and fundraisers. There is absolutely no reason for taxpayers to be funding them. Ironically, many of those complaining are also those who complain about corporate welfare, but seem to have no problem with it as long as it is going towards something they like.
4. Cutting red tape so we can get things done!
On regulations Trump has set it up so that when one new regulation is introduced into legislation, two old ones will be removed. In a country where everything seems to be overly regulated to "protect" us from ourselves this will pave the way for more growth in the business sector which then will lead to more jobs in the long run. One example of this was his executive order on the tow new major pipelines being run here in the USA. He allowed for any future piping to be made in the USA rather than produced overseas and shipped here at an even greater expense. He also loosened regulations on what is required to install a line. Of course, outrage ensued from activists. Those same activists that basically destroyed a piece of land at Standing Rock while playing the part of so called "water protectors".
5. Preventing illegal immigration!
Before even laying the first section of the wall the Trump administration made it clear that they will be enforcing existing laws regarding illegal immigration. Of course, this has sparked outrage because many feel that our laws on illegal immigration should not be enforced. However, despite all that, illegal immigration has dropped 67% since he has taken office. Those upset that we may end up paying for the wall don't seem to realize that Mexico indirectly will be paying for the wall because those citizens that leave Mexico and end up on our welfare system in some form in most cases will now be Mexico's problem. This may explain why Mexico is so upset at the thought of a wall at our southern border.
6. Exposing hypocrisy while flexing military muscle!
Another great thing he has done here in the USA was exposing the blatant hypocrisy of the left. The left is constantly upset at virtually everything he does to improve the country, further illustrating their disdain for America. Recently he "allowed" a MOAB (mother of all bombs) to be dropped on ISIS tunnels. The left and some on the right instantly threw a hissy fit. According to ABC and CBS this was a military action which Trump had no fingers in the planning of. It was allegedly and action that was pre-planned by the Obama administration. But none of that matters to these folks. Liberals are outraged that the bomb was dropped because in their minds Trump dropped the bomb. These same people ironically didn't seem to mind that our last Nobel Peace Prize winner dropped over 20,000 bombs during his administration often killing innocent bystanders. This is just another example of what is good for the left isn't so good for the right.
7. Allowing military and police to do their jobs!
Aside from defending our second amendment rights, he has also restored a sense of pride within the military and police. They know that they now have a president that has their backs and that is a truly great thing. After eight years of the left bashing and hating on police and the military, the environment has changed. Of course, this stance yet again has outraged the left. Democrats have demonized the military and especially the police over the past eight years and now all of their hard work is being undone.
This list is literally just a small piece of what our great new leader has done to make this country better. One thing is crystal clear right now and that is that the more positive things that Trump does will continue to enrage the left, because they do not support the idea of being a better country for whatever reason. Real Trump supporters who listened to what he said as a candidate know what is coming because he laid it all out for us during his bid for president. Those who only listened to twisted and skewed news clips have no clue and we can expect more Liberal tears soon. Let's make America Great Again! #MAGA

Walsall murder: Brit dad stabbed to death in flat as two held
TWO people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a dad was found stabbed to death at a house.
Police were called to the property in Willenhall, West Mids, by paramedics at 8.30pm on Monday.
The 56-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene but detectives believe he may have been there undiscovered for several hours.
Cops today confirmed a 37-year-old woman from Walsall, West Mids, and a 49-year-old man from Willenhall have been arrested on suspicion of murder.
The victim, named locally as Glynn Evans, lost his job and family during the recession and fell on "hard times", friends said today.
Pal Carl Creaney, a Labour councillor on Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council, said: "I am just shocked and gobsmacked. My heart goes out to his ex-wife and his children. It's dreadful news.
"He fell on hard times during the recession when he lost his job working for a company called Gametech who restore and repair pub gamblers.
"His wife and kids left him and he fell off the wagon. He was a wonderful, good-natured man and was just unlucky with what happened in his work and personal life.
"He was a close friend of mine. He is someone I have tried to help for a long time but there is only so much you can do.
"I would help him out when I could, and tried to get him rehoused. He has been homeless for about six years.
"I do a lot of work with the homeless and it really opens your eyes to things. Glynn's case just shows how even the most hard-working of people can fall victim to it.
"I am just so angry that it has ended this way, he was a very good friend."
The Jaguar Land Rover employee, who knew Mr Evans for 25 years, said the flat his body was found in had been empty for around 12 months.
"I am just shocked and gobsmacked. My heart goes out to his ex-wife and his children"Labour councillor Carl Creaney
He continued: "It is very rare for something like this to happen around here.
"Glynn was a harmless bloke. He had no enemies. It must have been random. Why somebody would want to murder him is beyond me.
"He did not deserve this at all. He was a good-natured man even during the hard times."
It comes just days after a middle-aged bloke was stabbed in his home in Slough, Berks. during a row on Christmas Eve.

BARFC Dirtrackers 0, Cheddar Valley 80 (22/02/14)
Anyone visiting Cheddar Valley's Sharpham Road ground in early September may have thought that they were watching a cricket match as the score escalated beyond three figures. Hence the eagerly awaited (by Cheddar only) and long delayed return match would confirm the progress of the runaway league leaders and whether Albion had improved. The answer was easy to see – Cheddar Valley played with considerable aplomb throughout and showed why they are the rampant leaders and whom this year have probably already secured deserved promotion; Albion on the other hand have battled well – it was perhaps a pity from their point of view that the games in the mud and water of the last few weeks have been postponed as on a firmer pitch Cheddar displayed their full range of skills but not without encountering some sterling Albion opposition.
Albion once again rang the changes, this time incorporating several Weston-Super-Mare players who adopted the "have kit will play" rules which abound in this league.
Cheddar set out their stall early on with a long drive and in the fourth minute crossed the line but an earlier knock-on denied them. Albion showed some intent by spinning Cheddar's scrum but clearly illegally as a penalty was awarded against them. Cheddar's first two scores in the tenth and fifteenth minutes owed more to Albion's mistakes than their own endeavours. Firstly an Albion penalty to touch missed and the visitors ran the ball back and one of their forwards went in; then Albion put themselves under pressure by passing the ball backwards twice and Cheddar's stand-off sliced through and set up a further try. Four minutes later Cheddar's pack rumbled to the line and any one of six players could have scored – one did. Five minutes later, Albion at last made Cheddar work hard for their next try with some good tackling but Cheddar created the overlap to score wide out. Immediately Albion conceded a free kick for a crooked feed and Cheddar quickly took the kick and moved wide to score. Fortunately for Albion Cheddar's kicker was placed in some awkward spots and had failed to land the conversions of the first five tries but he made amends in the 32nd minute when Cheddar again moved the ball well to score their sixth try which this time was converted, as was another just before half time when good concerted handling from 60 metres out rounded off the first half with the score line at 0-39.
Cheddar continued the deluge in the early part of the second half when a fine scissors between their stand-off and centre resulted in the latter crossing and in the 51st minute Cheddar ran the ball back from their own 22 for a long-range try which was converted. Albion then finally put Cheddar on defensive duties. Firstly Norman took on a quick penalty and almost crashed over and Cheddar held thrusts by Gibson and Burrows. However the visitors relieved such pressure with a long run out of defence. Between the 65th and the 69th minutes Cheddar scored three more tries before Albion got to grips yet again. However their brave efforts petered out and in the last four minutes Cheddar ran in two further tries to bring the score to a round 80 – a substantial difference in the score line from the away match but nevertheless a lesson in how to use the ball effectively throughout.
Albion will be pleased to see the passing of Cheddar Valley into the next league up where Albion's 2nd XV will encounter them next season – that should make for a more even contest. In the meantime, the Dirtrackers need to concentrate on their remaining matches which now gives them a full programme to the end of the season due to the earlier postponed matches.
Team: Walford; Knott Dickinson WSM guest WSM guest; Coates Page Gibson Rae Buck Hobbs Burrows Nash (WSM) Norman Ruddle. Replacements – all used – Berry Goddard Innalls and WSM guest.

Now a Major Motion Picture titled Whiskey Tango Foxtrot starring Tina Fey, Margot Robbie, Martin Freeman, Alfred Molina, and Billy Bob Thornton. From tea with warlords in the countryside to parties with drunken foreign correspondents in the "dry" city of Kabul, journalist Kim Barker captures the humor and heartbreak of life in post-9/11 Afghanistan and Pakistan in this profound and darkly comic memoir. As Barker grows from awkward newbie to seasoned reporter, she offers an insider's account of the region's "forgotten war" at a time when all eyes were turned to Iraq. Candid, self-deprecating, and laugh-out-loud funny, Barker shares both her affection for the absurdities of these two hapless countries and her fear for their future stability.

Welcome to the 10th edition of the Peak Centre Indoor Racing Series where we kicked off the fall season with the Original Time Trial. With a few more centres entering the series from across North America, it was a familiar name who stormed to victory on the first stage. Dwayne Kress (Challenge by Choice, Squamish) crossed the line in 36:44.7, closely followed by Challenge by Choice team mate Martin Caron in 36:58.1. Does this mark another year of domination by the Squamish riders? Third place was taken by Roger Lee (Peak Centre Vancouver) in 37:26.4 and potential challengers to Squamish dominance include John Harris (Peak Centre, Vancouver) and Sean Anderson (SBR Coaching, Verona) who completed the course in 38:22.7 and 38:23.77 respectively. Other notable performances included University of Bath's Felix Young, who came home in 39:04.9 and will now be looking forward to the mountain stages to come!
The women's category saw Grace Menning (Peak Centre Vancouver) finish in an impressive 41:23.4, almost two minutes faster than second place Sarah Greenwood (Leadout Coaching, Squamish BC). The final spot on the podium was claimed by Erin Serrault (SBR Coaching, Verona) in 43:37.03. Racing Series debutant Georgie Wood (Peak Centre, Vancouver) powered across the line in 49:20.7, beating Helen Toft (Peak Centre, Ottowa) by 13 seconds. With similar Watts/kg, this could be the start of an interesting rivalry between Toft and Wood and also the beginning of a promising race career for this young rider from Nottingham.
Meanwhile in the men's B category it was newcomer Rob Phoenix of Leadout Coaching at the top of the podium finishing in a time of 40:23.2. However with the riders on the podium being separated by less than 30 seconds, dominance of this category may not be as straight forward as fellow Squamish riders in category A. Challenge by Choice riders feature further down the standings, filling positions 6 to 9 with Paul Sutton (41:43.7), Grant Willburn (42:02.4) and Roger Shirt (42:05.8) sprinting right to the line! This was a great start to what looks to be a highly competitive category with Dan Giberson (Natural High, Okotoks), Dan MacDonald (Peak Centre, Vancouver) and Tom Ronneng (Peak Centre, Vancouver) finishing within 13 seconds of each other to take positions 10-12 respectively.
Next week sees the riders tackle a Rolling Sprint stage, giving the powerful riders a chance to get further ahead in the GC standings. Enjoy it while it lasts though as we head to the mountains in stage 3!
The series is designed for fun and fitness so whether you're looking to get stronger for next year or to challenge for Stage and GC honours, the Peak Centre Indoor Racing series delivers. Call you nearest participating centre to book your CompuTrainer today.

Guys With Kids
Wednesday | 8:30 pm | NBC
Guys With Kids is one of many, many generic "bunch of dudes/friends/families" sitcoms NBC has tried to develop in the last couple of years and it reads that way. Anthony Anderson, Zach Cregger, and Jesse Bradford star as dads with four, two, and one kid(s) respectively. The set-ups in both the pilot, that aired at a special time, and this second episode are familiar sitcom tropes – he forgot their anniversary! She forgot their anniversary too! – and you can predict each turn a mile away.
Surprisingly, I didn't completely hate it. Jesse Bradford's newly divorced Chris is the most irritating, especially his harpy ex-wife that pops up with her numerous keys to his apartment. I'm not sure why this role was even deemed necessary; Erinn Hayes is forced to be repetitively horrible and unfunny as Sheila. Unless they are headed toward reconciliation (unlikely), the show could be much improved by writing the character off. Anderson's stay-at-home Gary is serviceable, but a tired cliché. The real bright spot is Zach Cregger, who brings real charm as Nick. Cregger and Jamie-Lynn Sigler have admirable chemistry. In the most enjoyable scene so far, he rectifies a missed date with a build-your-own Titanic in the living room, complete with Celine Dion, bubblewrap iceberg, and a huge diamond necklace…filled with lipgloss.
Guys With Kids is the type of sitcom that could last a whole season, maybe more, if paired with the right lead-in and an time-slot. It might not really deserve it, or be remotely close to must-watch television, but it's nice while I'm painting my nails or reading a magazine.
Long Term Prediction:
Unless I hit the overload point of if I watch one more show, my brain will explode (which honestly seems possible given my over-packed viewing schedule this year), Guys With Kids seems like a nice filler show.

There are always things left unsaid. The perfect ending to a conversation with a stranger. A clever comeback in a debate with a colleague at work. A farewell bid to a loved one. Missed opportunities to get in the last word. What do you wish you had said? Now is the time to say it.
"The Last Word", a project by the public art collaborative Illegal Art, provides a private moment to recapture what was never uttered. Hundreds of tightly rolled pieces of paper, dyed red on one end and left untouched on the other are placed white-side out within the honeycomb chambers of a cardboard wall. Participants remove one of the pieces of paper, write down their "last word", and then replace the paper with the red side exposed. The public may write their own unfinished business or read how other people's conversations might have ended.
The Last Word was installed at four different locations throughout the fall of 2009 in New York City. Those locations were Spring Gallery in Brooklyn, New York; Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York; GMHC in Manhattan and at the Museum at Eldridge Street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan through the end of 2009.

Calais Campbell
Mike Florio, citing a source with knowledge of the situation, reports that DL Calais Campbell did not have an agreement in principle with the Jaguars right before the start of free agency, which had been reported by a few outlets.
It wasn't long after these reports surfaced that the story changed and Campbell was now seriously considering an offer from the Broncos. A source explained to Florio that reported deal with the Jaguars "was not even close to being done" at the time and Campbell was still considering offers from the Jaguars, Broncos and Redskins at the time.
Of course, Campbell ultimately agreed to a massive four-year, $60 million contract that included $30 million guaranteed with Jacksonville (NFLTR), but this explains why there was some confusion about where he was headed at the start of free agency.
- The Jets are reportedly showing interest in Patriots free agent LB Dont'a Hightower and are among the top suitors for him. (NFLTR)
- Rich Cimini of ESPN confirms the news and mentions that if the Jets are able to somehow convince Hightower to leave the Patriots, it would result in the team moving on from long-time LB David Harris.
- According to Mike Reiss, Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski has been at the team's facility at least four days a week, rehabbing from back surgery.
- Reiss gets the sense that the Patriots decided to move on from TE Martellus Bennett this offseason and get younger at the position, which explains their trade for former Colts TE Dwayne Allen.
- The Patriots reportedly attempted to extend Bennett last offseason to a contract that would have paid him around $7 million for the 2017 season, but Reiss doesn't believe they discussed contract terms before they made the move to acquire Allen.
- In regards to restricted free agent CB Malcolm Butler, Reiss says that the two parties have a difference of opinion when it comes to his value and a potential contract extension. Reiss believes it would be a "major disappointment" if the Pats trade Butler without exhausting every possibility to retain him.
- Reiss suggests adding three years at $34.5 million ($11.5 million per year) to Butler's 2017 restricted tender worth $3.91 million and include a signing bonus and it's possible that this could be enough to get a deal done.
- According to John Keim, at one point he heard that the Redskins may have had some interest in free agent DT Johnathan Hankins, but he isn't sure where things stand with him right now.
- The Redskins hosted DT Bennie Logan for a visit, but nothing is considered imminent at this point in time. (NFLTR)

Bishops Ask Georgia Prosecutor to Respect Wishes of Murdered Priest, Drop Death Penalty
Prosecutors in Augusta, Georgia are seeking the death penalty against a man accused of murdering the Rev. Rene Robert (pictured), despite their knowledge that the Franciscan priest had requested that the death penalty not be used "under any circumstances" if he were killed. On January 31, Catholic Bishops from Georgia and Florida traveled to Augusta to meet with Hank Sims, the acting district attorney for the Augusta Judicial Circuit, asking him to respect Reverend Robert's wishes and to withdraw capital charges against Steven Murray. They also delivered a petition signed by more than 7,400 people from Rev. Robert's diocese in St. Augustine, Florida, asking that the Reverend's wishes be honored. In his work as a Catholic priest, Rev. Robert had devoted his life to serving people convicted of crimes and those struggling with addiction and mental health problems. He had worked with Murray through his ministry. Twenty years before he was killed, Rev. Robert signed a "Declaration of Life" that stated: "I hereby declare that should I die as a result of a violent crime, I request that the person or persons found guilty of homicide for my killing not be subject to or put in jeopardy of the death penalty under any circumstances, no matter how heinous their crime, or how much I have suffered." His declaration also requested that the Declaration of Life be admitted as evidence at trial if the prosecution sought the death penalty for his murder, and asked that the Governor "take whatever action is necessary" to prevent any person convicted of his murder from being executed. "During my life," he wrote, "I want to feel confident that under no circumstances whatsoever will my death result in the capital punishment of another human being." At a press conference before the meeting, St. Augustine Diocese's Bishop Felipe Estevez expressed the bishops' opposition to capital punishment. "Imposing a death sentence as a consequence of killing wrongly perpetuates a cycle of violence in our community," he said. "The death penalty only contributes to an ever-growing disrespect for the sacredness of human life. … Societies remain safe when violent criminals are in prison for life without parole." The views of Rev. Robert and the bishops reflect the Catholic Church's longstanding opposition to the death penalty, which Pope Francis reiterated in an address to Congress in 2015.
(K. Guerra, "Priests don't want a man to be on death row. Even if he's accused of killing one of their own." The Washington Post, January 31, 2017; K. Brumback, "BISHOPS URGE PROSECUTOR TO DROP DEATH IN PRIEST'S KILLING," Associated Press, January 31, 2017.) See Religion and Victims.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Exterran Holdings
So what: For the fourth quarter of 2011, Exterran Holdings reported a net loss of $66.6 million, or $1.06 per share, on revenue of $702.9 million. The company also said it would be selling compression and processing assets to Exterran Partners
Now what: The fourth-quarter loss may be an improvement and better than analysts estimated, but I'm having a hard time getting excited about it. Analysts are still expecting a $1.00 loss per share in 2012, and with the energy business going gangbusters I'm not buying into a company that can't make a profit in this environment. Once Exterran swings to a profit, I may take a look again, but for now I will stick to energy stocks that aren't losing money and sitting on a pile of debt.

A new online learning platform has been launched for the benefit of architects, engineers and designers to help them hone their skills in digital design.
Launched by the Institute of Digital Design Australia (IDDA), the digital design online learning platform is customised for the target group and offers over 300 e-learning lessons in digital design software including Revit, Rhino3d, Grasshopper and Python, enabling members to learn at their own pace.
Founder Dr Benjamin Coorey (PhD), a digital design specialist and expert in parametric design techniques, explained that he wanted to leverage his background in teaching digital design to architects and students to develop an online learning platform customised for the industry. Another objective was to make the cutting edge learning program as affordable as possible for students as well as small, large and international architectural firms and universities.
Annual subscriptions to IDDA's learning platform are available from just $119 AUD, which would allow every designer to have access to a dedicated learning resource for their personal training and development.
Registered architects in Australia can additionally earn formal CPD points with the Australian Institute of Architects. IDDA will provide certification and formal competency points for each course successfully completed and passed by the architect. Larger firms can also support registration upkeep, benchmark staff, incentivise their teams and assess their company's skill level across multiple studios worldwide.
IDDA's online learning platform also benefits universities and architecture students. Course directors can now offer unlimited training to their students across all subjects, complete with online exams, bulk user management tools and student support. Recently endorsed by UNSW as "a fantastic success", the online training platform, according to Coorey, allows lecturers to monitor student progress and exam results in real time, saving them hours in assessment administration.
To celebrate the launch of IDDA.com.au, IDDA is offering all new members a 14-day free trial with the Rhino Essentials course unlocked for everyone to start learning.
As the industry leader in digital design training, IDDA aims to upskill the design profession by offering high quality and affordable learning tools for students, professionals, small and large firms as well as universities.

SPRINGFIELD, Illinois--- Illinois lawmakers are heading to Springfield Wednesday, June 21, and have until the end of the month to put together a balanced budget before the end of the fiscal year, June 30.
Governor Bruce Rauner called for the special session, saying he is willing to sign a budget backed by republicans in the General Assembly. The proposal calls for a property tax freeze, term limits and an income tax increase.
Representatives Tony McCombie and Mike Halpin say they are hopeful this next round of budget sessions will be successful, especially because the General Assembly can not override another veto from the governor.
"Right now with the lay of the land in the House, if they did pass something with the majority vote and if Governor Rauner vetoed it, they can't over turn the veto. What this right now does this time, it makes that conversation happen," says McCombie.
Both McCombie and Halpin refuse to support a tax increase, which is why they are looking into other options.
"I'm very concerned about the tax increase. It was part of the Senate's plan, now the governor and the sponsors have that included as well. For a lot of poor and middle class families that is going to be a deal breaker for me," says Halpin.
McCombie says finding a solution to this 2 year budget crisis has made her rethink her stance on borrowing money.
"You're going to have to borrow some money. You're going to have to figure out how your going to have to pay those bills back, " she says.
Illinois has already $15 billion in overdue bills. Some Credit rating agencies have warned they will downgrade the state's rating to junk without a budget.

DUBAI, 5th March, 2017 (WAM) -- The Dubai Airport Freezone Authority (DAFZA) performed strongly in 2016, reaching a 16 percent net profit growth, posting a 2 percent growth in total revenue, a 28 percent increase in total assets and a 3 percent rise in Earnings Before Interest and Depreciation (EBID).
According to official reports, the total leasable area of multinational companies occupying the Free zone rose 44 percent, while total leased office space increasing by 13 percent. Also, the leased light industrial units grew by 25 percent, mainly due to the growing confidence among international companies in DAFZA's capabilities, as well as the numerous business and investment opportunities available in Dubai. DAFZA accounted for AED109.82 billion of Dubai's non-oil foreign trade for 2015, representing 9 percent of the emirate's total trade and 20 percent of total free zones trade for the same period?. ????? Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of DAFZA, noted, "DAFZA continues to move forward in terms of leadership and excellence, driven by its strong operational performance and positive financial results, which have proven once again that it is one of the world's top free zones. We are inspired by the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, who taught us not to be afraid of difficulties as we strive to become a world leader.
"DAFZA proved its instrumental role in enhancing the overall performance of Dubai's free zones last year. It demonstrated the highest levels of competitiveness, excellence and efficiency in overcoming a challenging global economic climate. Supported by an integrated portfolio of effective economic and investment solutions, DAFZA drew in significant foreign direct investments from vital sectors,'' Al Maktoum added.
Dr. Mohammed Al Zarooni, Director-General, Dubai Airport Free Zone Authority, added, "DAFZA's strong performance in 2016 adds to the already numerous achievements that have propelled DAFZA among the ranks of the most innovative and competitive free zones in the world. We have further strengthened the UAE economy and helped increase Dubai's GDP by capitalising on investment prospects to build a strong, competitive and diversified economy which can achieve more prosperity in the future.
"We are committed to providing an ideal business environment to attract international companies and foreign capital, as well as supporting economic diversification and promoting openness in trade with the global markets. We shall achieve this by focussing on providing world-class infrastructure, unique investment incentives and innovative solutions, in line with our vision of a 'Free zone that goes beyond' and supports the national and global economic systems", Dr. Al Zarooni noted.

Michigan Cops Attack Mentally Ill Man in Disturbing Dash Cam Video• http://www.dailypaul.com, by visible51
And sure enough he does, insisting on patting Ali Baydoun down for weapons, even though he was not doing anything that would have given the cop a reasonable suspicion that he had or was about to commit a crime.
If anything, the cop should have had a reasonable suspicion that Baydoum was mentally ill and was possibly not understanding the situation.
