We got our new Golden Retriever puppy last Thursday. I had completely forgotten how absorbing and exhausting a new puppy can be. Hailey is now 9 weeks old and giving all of us a run for our money. She is adorable, compelling, curious and interested in absolutely everything. Translated that means, "Oh my gosh, what were we thinking??"
For the life of me, I can't think of what we did without her. My brain is on hyper-focus though. Trying to do anything beyond watching for potty signs, keeping up with her crating and play schedule and preparing her raw diet (Commercial brand, not homemade of course – I'm not Wonder woman) on time is challenging. Even cooking isn't working out. In one week I have burned rice – for goodness sake. Today I burned the sweet and sour sauce I was cooking for lunch!!
I'm trying something simple for dinner. It's pretty much a no brainer, can't go wrong, all in one pot beef stew that calls for simple ingredients and no prep time browning at the stove to complicate it.
I add Herbamare which is a sea salt and vegetable blend which includes – celery, leek, cress, onion, chives, parsley, lovage, garlic, basil, marjoram, rosemary, thyme and kelp. Carrie Vitt at Deliciously Organic was the first to introduce me to this organic blend. You can of course make the stew without it (I did for years) by adding any number of your own seasonings – from thyme, to marjoram, or rosemary. Or you can just add more salt and pepper, or Worcestershire Sauce* if you like.
*NOTE: Worcestershire Sauce is not free-glutamate free. It doesn't contain added MSG, but it does use tamarind extract, natural flavorings, and chili pepper extract which may contain free glutamate with the same effects as MSG. As a rule, I don't cook with it often. But I do add it occasionally to some of my recipes. It is gluten-free however.
- 2 lbs. stew beef, cut up
- 2 large onions, large chunks
- 3 stalks celery with celery tops, roughly chopped
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut in 1 inch pieces
- 2 large cloves of garlic, sliced or chopped
- 6 small red potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 - 2 teaspoons Celtic Sea Salt
- 2 bay leaves
- Black pepper, freshly ground
- ½ tsp to 1 tsp. Herbamare Original Sea Salt and Vegetable blend (optional) (Honestly, I just shake some on the top of the ingredients in the pot)
- 2-4 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce (Again, I give several generous shakes into the pot - this is a reasonable estimation for how much I put into the stew.)
- 4 cups Organic Beef Broth ( I used Pacific Brand)
- Place the onions on the bottom of a large slow cooker.
- Add the chunks of beef on top of the onions.
- Next add the garlic, celery and carrots.
- Season with the sea salt, ground pepper to taste, Herbamare if you have it, worcestershire sauce and place in the bay leaves.
- Place the potatoes on the top and then add the beef broth.
- You can stir to cover all with broth and seasonings.
- Cover and turn slow cooker on. High for 5 hours, low for 8 hours.
- You can check for the tenderness of the beef after 4½ hours (High).
- Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
For the days when your brain is simply on something else. This recipe is a life saver. I like to serve it with gluten-free cornbread and coleslaw. Hope you enjoy it.
Puppy Update
Potty training going well…. oops, spoke too soon. It's me, I'm sure of it. Got to go.

Vernon Davis Authentic Jersey
His top two running backs (one of whom, remember, is a converted wide receiver) left last week's game with injuries. Receivers Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Davante Adams have all missed time with injuries. No matter, the Packers believe they can weather anything because Rodgers will deliver when it counts. He's still proving them right. Backup Brett Hundley remains well regarded, though unproven — he has attempted 11 regular-season passes since being picked in the fifth round in 2015.
Joe Williams Authentic Jersey
Foxworth: The Browns are more talented than the Jets and playing at home, so they should win. As for the matchup between 2004 draft-day-trade buddies, I pick Eli Manning and the Giants over Philip Rivers and the Chargers. It'll be a close game and Eli will get knocked around, as he always does. But I expect the Giants' high-priced defensive playmakers to create some turnovers, giving their offense a short field.
Kimes: I've picked the Chargers to win every game this season, so I'm going to ride for the Giants this week (which obviously means that Los Angeles will pull out its first win). Both teams have struggled to run the ball, and both teams have struggled to defend the run; the Giants and Chargers rank, respectively, 28th and 31st in opponents' rushing yards per game. But New York finally seemed to spark something on offense in the second half against the Bucs last week, so I'll take the home team in this Sunday's garbage bowl.
Sando: Let's take the Giants at home. They've played three of their first four on the road, including the past two, which they lost by a combined five points. The Chargers have had some issues in game management that could flare up again on the road.

So the anti-Trump folks are fond of calling him a Nazi. It irritates the right and makes the more rational among his following uncomfortable, but it doesn't really cause any of them to quit following him. Of course, they are correct; Trump is not a Nazi. Instead, he's the new brand of Republican. But, as a former Republican that is little comfort.
If we rely on fact, the true condition of America today is less like that of pre-World War II Germany than one might expect. But, as John Oliver pointed out so well in this Last Week Tonight piece, Americans seem to be more focused on feelings than facts. Trump followers feel like America needs to be made great again because they have been told they had it so much better back when. But when exactly is back when? For some the answer is last year when gays and lesbians couldn't marry. For others it was five years ago when fewer people had access to health insurance but the rates for those who did weren't impacted. But in all honesty, back when doesn't exist, it never has.
Our standing in the world might have been better during World War II but we sent Japanese Americans to interment camps and at the end of the war didn't bother to give them their homes, businesses, or livelihoods back. The U.S. Civil War might have put an end to slavery but it ushered in the KKK, Jim Crow laws, and an US vs THEM mentality that revealed the baser nature of those in control and continues in our country to this day. Women got the vote in 1920, a grand achievement but we're still fighting for equal pay in 2016. The truth is, America has always been both an inspiration and a nation in need of reform.
Bernie Sanders was not wrong when he began talking about the rich getting richer and the middle-class shrinking, but our standard of living is still one of the highest in the world. Eight years ago unemployment was nearly 10 percent. Today it is under 5. And, despite the violence making headlines in Orlando, Dallas and elsewhere, our overall violent crime rates are the lowest they have been in over 30 years. Our "greatness", at least the greatness Donald Trump eludes to, is NOT really in question.
The similarities between Trump and Hitler that bring out the label Nazi can be easily laid out. This Huffington Post article, for example, compares the first acts carried out by Hitler as soon as he was elected to those Trump espouses. Both leaders advocated removing government officials not to their liking. Both suggested they should have more control of the free press. Like Hitler, Trump blames minority groups for our problems, calls those who oppose him names, and vilifies anything other than brute strength.
So, if all this is true, why are Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton neck and neck in the polls? Why are we worried at all that Trump could actually become or next president? Surely we understand the danger, the damage that could occur if we allow such a personality to have power.
A friend recently shared this article from Dr. Deepak Chopra. In it Chopra gives us a short lesson in psychology as it applies to our conscious mind and our unconscious mind, or in other words, those dark impulses we learn to suppress as we mature. The article is worth your time and does a quick job of explaining the seemingly unfathomable (to those of us still functioning in our conscious mind) attraction and success of Donald Trump. Though most of my friends and I are shocked there are so many people in America like Trump, the truth is we ALL have the potential to act like Trump, to think like Trump, to poke fun and ridicule and fall into hyperbole. In fact, our ability to also let some of these baser expressions loose from time to time might explain why anti-Trump people resorted to sarcasm and humor as a way of dealing with our shock and horror.
Resorting to humor, however, won't help us overcome the powerful attraction of our baser nature. Instead, we must remind ourselves of the devastation such a nature unleashes on the world. Those who think Trump can be controlled need to realize his is not a lone voice. Other power hungry people have lined up behind him. He may not be on a par with Hitler right now, but he has not yet secured control. When he does, if he does, he won't be surrounded by people who want to control him. He will be surrounded by people who want to join him. Even now as some in his circle try to contain the most offensive expressions of the beast, Chopra predicts, Trump "will remain immune to all normal constraints."
Those of us who see Trump for the danger he is must work diligently to warn the rest of America. We must call forth our better nature. We are more successful when we work together than when we tear one another apart. And, we must remember our successes. We must summon the strength we have when we are united to seek the greater good. Having base impulses is part of human nature. However, being unable or unwilling to keep those impulses in check destroys the very fabric of society.
Donald Trump appeals to the basest nature of people whenever he makes racist or sexist remarks or calls people names who don't agree with him. He manipulates and inspires through fear and anger. His behavior may be similar to a famous Nazi, but his followers are absolutely correct, Trump is not a Nazi. Trump is currently the Republican candidate for the highest office of the land. But, that shouldn't really make you feel any better. America cannot afford to let Donald Trump gain more power. He must be defeated in November. And, Hillary Clinton is the only candidate who can do it.

Escitalopram is an anti-anxiety/depression type med, as far as I know. I also have IBS, and there are a few drugs they do prescribe for it, but for me they were ineffective. There is a drug called Linzess, which is used for IBS. I don't recall any of the others recommended, I think it varies depending on which side of the IBS spectrum you fall. (Constipation vs diarrhea), but Linzess is used for both, just different dosages.
Everyone's experience with Fibromyalgia is different. We take different meds and doses depending on what our bodies need. There are 3 drugs FDA approved for fibromyalgia Lyrica, Cymbalta and Savella. There are many others that are also used (amitriptyline, gabapentin & effexor to name a few). It just depends on what your body responds to. Feel free to ask any questions here. There are many knowledgeable people here to help you.

Validation and Verification (VALVE)
In VALVE, we are interested in checking that programs (and designs) indeed do what we meant them to do. Generally speaking we are interested in testing programs, understanding them, and in proving that they are correct. Our work includes studying models that enable to better represent behavior of programs, creating techniques for the analysis of programs, and working on new designs of programs that are built with validation in mind. Our work combines theoretical results and practical implementations. It relies on logic, formal methods, and computational structures.

- Formal verification for real-world systems: Formal verification using interactive and automated theorem provers is an established area with many successful applications (e.g., the CompCert compiler verification project). The aim of this current research is to apply formal methods to analyze existing systems (such as file systems), and to develop new systems (for example, usage of Formal Methods to prove the correctness of a new parsing technique). We are currently developing a new formally verified file system. (Tom Ridge)
- Choreography-based analysis: Models of choreography have recently received great attention as suitable abstractions of distributed coordination in communication-centric systems. The main objective of this research topic is to develop new verification and validation methods driven by choreography models.(Emilio Tuosto)
Nominal automata: Several research groups have developed different classes of nominal automata, that is finite state machines capable of dealing with languages on infinite alphabets. The main objectives of this research topic is to apply nominal automata for the modelling and analysis of resource-aware systems, namely systems that can allocate, communicate, and dispose resources. (Emilio Tuosto)
- Executable Biology: Executable Biology uses computer artefacts as models of biological behavior and design and analysis principles that are usually used on software/hardware are applied to such models to gain better understanding of the biological system. Our main interest in executable biology is in developing reasoning and analysis techniques that are applicable to the type of artefacts that arise from constructing such executable models. (Nir Piterman)
- Synthesis from Temporal Specifications: The idea behind this type of synthesis is to produce automatically reactive systems from high level specifications. More specifically, we consider specifications in temporal logic and produce a system that satisfies the specifications while being open to interaction with its environment. Our research in this field concentrates on the methods and methodologies that enable this kind of pursuit. (Nir Piterman)
- Automata for reasoning about Probabilistic Systems: Automata provide a unifying approach for model checking, temporal logic, synthesis and abstraction on discrete systems. In this project we work on a concept of automata that can do the same for reasoning about probabilistic systems. We call our automata p-automata and the main research directions we are pursuing are applications to probabilistic temporal logic and abstraction of Markov chains.(Nir Piterman)
- Automated test generation and assessment: The goal is to automatically generate inputs to a system for which the source code may not be accessible. We reason about test set completeness (i.e. their capacity to expose faulty behaviour) by adapting established techniques from the field of Machine Learning. (Neil Walkinshaw)
- Software defect prediction: The goal of software defect prediction is to identify which modules in the source code of a software are more likely to contain defects. This task is usually performed before software testing, so that it can guide the allocation of testing resources towards concentrating more testing effort in the modules more likely to contain defects. In this way, testing cost-effectiveness can be increased. (Leandro Minku)

The momentous event was attended by executives of the iKitchen Inc., the company behind Kuya J restaurant, and its endorser, actor Jericho Rosales. "It's really amazing, you know, from a humble hole-in-the-wall (in Cebu) to 100 stores. It's amazing how far and how fast we grew in just two years," Winglip Chang, president and chief executive officer of iKitchen said at Palawan branch's opening last October 7. "I believe the reason why our family has grown so fruitfully in such a short period of time is because of the continues love and support of the people for Kuya J." Kuya J, which offers popular Filipino dishes like crispy pata, grilled scallops, bulalo, sisig and roast chicken, has had its share of ups and downs but has faced all these challenges through the continued support of its customers, he said. A post shared by Reyma Buan Deveza (@reymabd) on Oct 10, 2017 at 8:21pm PDT "Our customers are our life force. They are the ones who make us 'bida' because they are the 'bida," stressed Chang. As part of its 100th store celebration, Kuya J has a special treat for its customers. Up to October 31, the Kuya J Original and Ube Halo-Halo Espesyal will be available at only P55 for dine-in transactions at all Kuya J branches. A post shared by Reyma Buan Deveza (@reymabd) on Oct 10, 2017 at 8:19pm PDT But who really is Kuya J? "We thought about it when we started and we believe that Kuya J is the appropriate name because most Filipino families have a 'J' in their family -- Jose, James, Jesus, Jericho. So we see that Kuya J is very suitable for our restaurant that's why we chose it," explained Chang, who also praised Rosales for being the ideal ambassador of Kuya J. For his part, Rosales said it's a big honor for him to be the face of Kuya J. "Super family time ang oras niyo sa Kuya J. I'm glad na kapag nakikita niyo ako ay tinatawag niyo akong Kuya J, para na akong super hero," Rosales said. After its 100th store, Kuya J is aiming to open more branches in the coming years. "We've always wanted to reach the 200 stores. We did 100 stores in two years. Given the experience we had the last two years, I think it's easier for us to put up the next 100," Danny Pumarega, chief operating officer of Kuya J, said. "One of the strategies that we will be adopting starting 2018 is also looking into growth outside Metro Manila and one of the biggest opportunity is to really look at the development of new cities like here in Palawan," he said.

Subtitles appear as hieroglyphics after reinstallation
I have this problem – several days ago I've re-installed my computer and everything was looking perfect, but when I played one movie, it's subtitles appeared as if they were written in some kind of hieroglyphics instead of Cyrillic alphabet. I tried several players such as KMplayer, BS player, Media Player – but none of them showed the subtitles right. How can I fix this?
Thank you!

How to convert dv to avi
Hello there,
I'm a shutterbug and have a large number of DVs storing in my PC. I'd like to share some of the beautiful DVs with my friends and families. But as you know, few media players and devices are compatible with the videos recorded with DV.
I want to find a DV to AVI converter for Mac which could solve my problem in a short time.
Can somebody give me some advice?
Thank you.

A 120 year commitment to building excellence has ensured quality and quality control is 'stock in trade' for Nicholson Construction.
In addition, a formal and on-going commitment to continuous improvement is evident in Nicholson Construction's ISO9001 quality management system accreditation – first established in 2008.
As part of normal operations, quality procedures are implemented across all aspects of the organisation. From tendering, accounts and administration; project management, OH&S, customer service and contract negotiations; every element of every function undertaken by Nicholson Construction is bound by these quality standards.
Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S)
An area of no compromise for Nicholson Construction. This commitment to OH&S was highlighted in 2009 when the company was named the first regional contractor in Victoria to achieve Federal Safety Commission (FSC) accreditation. Since that time, Nicholson Construction's OH&S systems and practices have achieved continuous certification to both AS4801 and FSC standards.
To ensure these obligations are always met and monitored, a full-time HSEQ Manager, who reports to the Directors, ensures systems are closely audited every six months to ensure complete compliance.
Nothing is more important than the workplace safety of employees and sub-contractors on Nicholson Construction locations.
Sustainable construction and environmental impact are building terms often used but not always practiced. For many years Nicholson Construction has undertaken pro-active and sustained action towards minimising the impact on the surrounding environment in all areas of operation. From waste minimisation and erosion control, to water use efficiencies and solar integration – sustainability and environmental management is part of everyday operation.
Recognising this, in December 2014 Total Quality Certification Services International (TQCSI), awarded Nicholson Construction with its highly regarded Environmental Management Systems (ISO14001) accreditation.

Sincere, if somewhat belated, New Years greetings to one and all. Severe weather conditions over the Christmas period resulted in loss of internet access for two weeks. Pleased to say that we are once again in touch with the wider world.
Bruges - stone figure (ack Pixabay)
With these words He called up all the wealth of artistic creation that has been founded on this creed. With those words He founded Gothic architecture. For in a town like this, which seems to have grown Gothic as a wood grows leaves, anywhere and anyhow, any odd brick or moulding may be carved off into a shouting face. The front of vast buildings is thronged with open mouths, angels praising God, or devils defying Him. Rock itself is racked and twisted, until it seems to scream. The miracle is accomplished; the very stones cry out.
"Without the divine assistance we cannot resist the might of so many and such powerful enemies; now this assistance is granted only to prayer; therefore, without prayer there is no salvation"
(ack. 'thoughts from St Alphonsus')

I'm looking at various Micro-ATX cases (Thermaltake Landbox, specifically), and some of them purport being able to house SLI, or a CROSSFIRE set-up. That means 2 video cards. But these cases only accept micro-atx MOBOs, and none of those MOBOs accept 2xpci-e slots, meaning no sli or crossfire.
So if the MOBO doesn't allow SLI, but the case does, what am I missing here? ATX MOBOs don't fit in those tiny cases
Wow...maybe my info is outdated. Is it possible to go SLI in a micro-atx mobo?
Not sure where you are getting the information from. There are two links below. The first is for AMD m-ATX boards with 2 PCIe x 16 slots. The second for Intel.
If a case comes with a power supply and the power supply can support SLI/ Crossfire then I would guess that is what they mean.
If you are planning on building a rig using TWO graphics cards I suggest you abandon the idea of using a micro-ATX case. You will run into overheating issues if you do that.
Thanks for your reply. I want to have one GPU now, and in the future go SLI.
Why do you want to use a m-ATX case? m-ATX motherboards as well as ATX boards will fit properly in an ATX case.
"what am I missing here?"
Maybe you just have poor searching skills?
If you buy a real case instead of a lunchbox, you'll be able to do whatever you want with it.

((my grandpa and his sis grew up in Siberia where they made all their stuff out of nothing or natural materials mostly -- when she did babysit us she taught us a lot of tricks - also how to tell fairitales "out of lamp" -- shure others may notify you to change the scenario if they won't like it or it doesnot keep up the ecxitement - if it's such story . . . ))

Spencer (Troian Bellisario) confronts her mother about keeping family secrets.
Aria (Lucy Hale) confides in Holden about her relationship with Ezra (Ian Harding), while Spencer turns to Detective Furey for help.
And Jenna stirs up even more trouble when she returns to Rosewood with some insight into Noel Kahn and recent events.

Went out for dinner last night and I was not looking forward to it, for some reason I had convinced myself that I wouldn't enjoy it without a smoke.
Well, I can honestly say it was probably the best evening out ever. I was totally chilled and only thought about (no cravings) a cig once and that was when I saw a couple of smokers standing outside.
I do actually think that all the people ahead of us on here are telling the truth- there IS light at the end of the tunnel.
Keep at it guys and gals!

Question and Answer
Q. What are services we offer our clients according to their goals and needs?
A. Voice Instruction, Singing by Ear, Singing Accurately on Pitch
Optional: Sight Reading Music, Tutoring in Basic Musical Skills, Harmony, and Improvisation.
Q.What are some of the major challengers we have met?
A. One student had been prescribed pills for pain in his throat that he had been taking for nine years before beginning lessons! He is now off the pills and even speaks with a deeper, more resonant, much nicer sounding voice than he never dreamed he had. Have helped beginning students with trouble even matching a pitch, but who now sing with confidence, a vastly improved range, and a beautifully rich and full voice. Vastly improved the pitch accuracy in advanced students who had mild problems with singing accurately in tune. Helped develop solidity and richness in the lower range that was previously breathy rather than solid, smooth, and full. Improved ease so singing became relatively effortless. Have trained students ranging from beginning children to adult professionals who have sung with major ensembles in Europe, Latin America, and the United States.
Q. What advice do we have for anyone looking for a good voice teacher?
A. Make sure the teacher under consideration understands vocal function and anatomy well enough to effectively address whatever specific problems a student may be having. Ensure the teacher can understand what a voice is doing physically from the sound it produces. You can't see inside the voice, but you can learn to hear what's off and needs correction as well as what's physically correct inside and needs positive reinforcement. While it is not necessary that the student understand the technical details of good vocal function intellectually, a skilled voice teacher absolutely must!
Musicians who simply teach songs can't do this and shouldn't be teaching voice. Merely teaching songs is not teaching voice. Neither does simply being an active performer necessarily mean a professional singer actually knows anything about teaching others to sing. Many voice teachers build their careers on talented students who have such strong physical intuition that they can simply copy what the teacher is doing.
Such people are very easy to teach. Real teaching skill comes from experience with the most challenging students. A truly skilled voice teacher learns much more from the challenging students than from the more talented ones. When such a teacher then applies this experience to very talented students, these students progress still faster than they otherwise could. Highly gifted students progress much more rapidly with a teacher who has the skills to train even the most challenging students and whose reputation is not merely based on exceptional student talent.
A good teacher knows how to listen for healthy, efficient vocal function and not just go for a "nice sound". The goal should be to optimize functionally the interface between vocal anatomy and the laws of acoustics that govern the generation and propagation of sound from the larynx out into the hall. When the best vocal traditions and modern voice science are correctly understood, they illuminate and reinforce each other. The student doesn't necessarily have to understand all the technical details, but the best teachers certainly do!
Q. Is there anything specific that is special or unique about Mr. Wendell's approach to teaching voice?
A. Correct habits naturally generate ease, comfort, feel good to the body and sound good to the ear. When appropriate, Mr. Wendell addresses bad habits such as wasting effort on the wrong muscles or using muscles that directly interfere with good singing by having the student do something very specific that is physically incompatible with the negative habit. This reliably opens up new possibilities for ease, comfort, and vocal beauty that the student never knew were possible.
Mr. Wendell also uses specific patterns of vocal function that productively constrain the voice toward an optimum adjustment. This leads the student into a close enough ballpark around the ideal so the student begins to notice how good it feels to sing well and so spontaneously starts to make even finer adjustments.
What sounds good to the ear and feels good to the body naturally gravitates toward what is still better and away from what is worse. The better it gets, the closer the ideal and the more spontaneously attractive it naturally becomes. We call this the principle of increasing charm. This principle leads spontaneously to much finer coordination than any intellectual understanding alone could ever duplicate. It is this subtle human element that makes the art of singing truly artful!
Mr. Wendell has on several occasions accepted students who were not interested in singing, but had speech problems, sometimes severe defects, that licensed speech therapists had failed to help them with. Full disclosure: Mr. Wendell is NOT a licensed speech therapist, yet he was able to help those who had almost given up on their ability to overcome their speech problems and called to see if Mr. Wendell could help. His understanding of voice science, centuries old vocal tradition, vocal anatomy, and the resulting healthy vocal technique successfully helped these people overcome their defects, some within a very short period of time.

I have now been taking lessons from Mr. Wendell for a little over a month and a half, and I have to say I already see a world of difference in my voice! He's taught me to sing with ease, and also has improved my range quite a bit! He also is helping me build a musical imagination to where writing and making songs my own comes naturally! He is the most knowledgeable voice teacher I have ever worked with and his techniques work wonders. Very recommendable!
- Lexy
(A note from Robert: Lexy is a professional who has regular recording dates in Atlanta. Her producer recommended that she get some professional help to improve her singing. She improved very rapidly and later enjoyed giving a very successful live concert in Switzerland!
March 23, 2013
Very knowledgeable when it comes to the human voice, how it works and how to make it better. Within 2 months I saw a big difference in my singing as well as an ease and a free-ness in my singing. His techniques REALLY WORK!!

Robert is an excellent voice coach with an in depth knowledge of how to produce sound correctly and effectively. He is also very musical and a wonderful, patient teacher. He works effectively one on one and in a group setting. He is also an excellent choir conductor. His fine ear allows him to give feedback that results in a pure and musically sensitive sound that is as satisfying to audiences as it is to choir members.

Robert is an exceptional vocal instructor. He clearly makes his points and offers understandable explanations. Lessons are enjoyable, as he is patient and encouraging. Well worth your time and investment.
– Kevin

To be able to sing with clarity and comfort you have to understand the workings and mechanisms involved in singing. Robert knows those, and is able to teach it in a clear, effective way. I learned a lot from Robert, his advice guides me every time I sing.
– Ashton
March 12, 2012
If you're interested in learning voice, I have found that there is no better teacher out there than Robert Wendell. He teaches you to fully understand what you are doing and how to fix problems that may occur. He studied with the best in the business and it comes out in his classes.
He truly is amazing at what he does. There are many other voice teachers out there who can show you a few tricks of the trade, take your money and in the end you don't truly understand the mechanism that is the voice. Don't waste time and money on people who 'really' don't understand what Robert does. Robert's focus is being a specialist in voice training. I'm thrilled that I've finally found the right teacher for me.
– Stuart
July 1, 2009
Mr. Wendell is an outstanding vocal coach. In mere weeks he helped me improve my tone and intonation by greater strides than other teachers could do over multiple years. Not only do his methods produce astonishing results, but his personality and demeanor can get students through the inevitable frustrations with ease and good humor. Further, even though I was taking lessons for pleasure and not for professional aspirations, Mr Wendell still treated every lesson seriously and with his full attention. I highly recommend Mr. Wendell to all vocalists, regardless of experience or goals, and cannot say enough good things about him!

"Wake-Up Call!"
"Repent, and Believe The Gospel!"
REPENT = Do a complete 180 of belief in your heart of hearts (i.e. The Deepest Part of Yourself,…Where You are Really You!)
The 180-Turn requires that you STOP disagreeing of The LORD Jesus with regards to the condition of your heart and your Life, and START agreeing with Jesus (and Only Jesus!)
The Condition of your Heart is DEAD, Absolutely & Irrevocably DAMNED, except for the saving work of Jesus Christ is your Heart. (Jesus pays our Sin because only HE can! Jesus makes us judicially PERFECT because only HE can!)
The GOSPEL (i.e. Greatest Good News)= Jesus died! Jesus was buried! Jesus rose again on the third day! ALL of this according to the Scriptures (i.e. The Holy Bible!)
Key Verse: 15:3-4
"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures…."
Believe it! This is your ONLY HOPE!

Newsletter GruppeJ-Rock/Visual Kei
In 1981, Colonel Grigoriev (whose name in real life was Vladimir Vetrov) of the KGB, who was disenchanted with what the Communist ideal had become under Brezhnev, decides he is going to change the world.
Discreetly, he makes contact with a French engineer working for Thomson in Moscow and little by little passes on documents to him - mainly concerning the United States - containing information which would constitute the most important Cold War espionage operation known to date.
Ronald Reagan, President of the USA at this time, set aside his reluctance to work with a French Socialist to put this unhoped-for information from the very heart of the KGB to use. «Farewell» would in fact decapitate the network which enabled the KGB to gain in-depth knowledge of scientific, industrial and military research in the West.
Once the USSR had been deprived of these precious sources of information, Ronald Reagan's announcement of the new «Star Wars» military programme sounded the death toll of the Soviet Union.
The Berlin Wall would fall before the end of the 80s. In his own way, «Farewell» managed to change the world, by avoiding traditional espionage methods too well known to the KGB and by not asking for any financial compensation whatsoever – much too capitalist for his taste. He simply followed his destiny, so that a new world might dawn for all his fellow Russians, but especially for his son.
Clint Mansell provides a powerful score for this tale. The CD also features the tracks from the movie by by Joe Jackson, Simple Minds, Les choeurs de l'armée rouge and Cyril Morin.

Autor:Jocelyn Clarke 16.04.2010
Since his first score for Darren Aronofsky's Pi in 1998, Pop Will Eat Itself founder Clint Mansell has written several distinctive and original scores, including World Traveller, Abandon, Moon, Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain .
The latter two (both for Aronofsky) are sampled frequently in trailers and other films. With each successive score he favours an increasingly lean and laconic style of long melodic lines, idiosyncratic instrumentation and brooding electronica. Mansell's taut score for L'Affaire Farewell , a French Cold War thriller, is his sparest yet, combining subtle variations on a single elegant theme with jittery polyrhythms and glittering colours (sonorous piano, nervy balalaika, churning electric guitar).
Climaxing in the 15-minute- long cue Secrets and Lies , a near perfect fusion of romance and paranoia, Mansell's compelling score rarely resolves or relents in either tension or menace.

Performance +
GT3 Architects provide specialist consultancy skills in workplace and organisational performance – called Performance +. This service enables clients to understand and capitalize on a vital dynamic that drives organizational performance; the relationship between people and the design of physical place. With staff costs equating to approximately 80% of corporate expenditure and property costs just 8%, it is clear that the greatest investment impact is to be gained in creating inspiring environments that benefit the organisation's critical asset and cost item i.e. its people.
Our work demonstrates that positive changes involving people and place can deliver tangible and sustainable business and shareholder value. This is particularly relevant at a time when many organisations (in both the public and private sector) are looking to rationalise and consolidate their operations and estates.
Performance + positions the organisation, rather than the building at the heart of the project and the outcome of the work is not necessarily a new building but a transformation of the way people work and how space can be used. Finding new ways of working can liberate staff to work independently of time and space.

2. Catch some short films at Citygarden
It's been a little while since this town has hosted a film festival, but just like that, Cinema St. Louis and Gateway Foundation plug the gap with Cinema at Citygarden. The biennial program invites filmmakers to create new works on a single theme to enter in a juried competition. This year's theme is Nature, and the winning entrants are David Rocco ("Summer Louis"), Natalie Rainer ("Hypervide") and Yihuang Lu ("Ocean Breathes"). Their films, along with entries from Zlatko Cosic, Yuhan Zhang and Cole Hieronymus, and a handful of other filmmakers, will screen from 5 to 10 p.m. daily (Friday, May 26 to Friday, June 30) on Citygarden's video wall (801 Market Street; www.citygardenstl.org). Admission is free.
3. Enjoy a weekend of dance at UMSL
Dance lovers have many opportunities and even more choices to make during the tenth annual Spring to Dance Festival. Dance St. Louis has gathered 30 companies who will each perform once during the festival, which runs Friday to Sunday (May 26 to 28) at the Touhill Performing Arts Center on the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus (1 University Drive at Natural Bridge Road; www.touhill.org). So, will you pick the main stage session on Friday night with MADCO and the Joffrey Ballet, or will you opt for the Saturday show with San Francisco Ballet, the Dancing Wheels Company and Chicago Tap Theatre? There's also the matter of the early show, which takes place each night in the Lee Theater and features Clinard Dance and St. Louis' own Leverage Dance Theater. You may not have to decide, because ticket prices are only $10 for the 6 p.m. shows in the Lee Theater, and $15 for the 7:30 p.m. main stage performances; you could see all six for less than $100.
4. Remember the Okies at Opera Theatre of St. Louis
The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck's novel of the Great Depression, follows the Joad family across America as they pursue a better life. Chased out of Oklahoma by the Dust Bowl, the Joads head for California to try their luck as migrant fruit pickers. Once there, they discover they're a drain on the local labor force, pawns for the wealthy and subhumans to everyone else. Their only crime is poverty, yet the denizens of the promised land are determined to keep them suffering from it. Ricky Ian Gordon and Michael Korie adapted Steinbeck's morality play for opera audiences in 2007, and this year present the premiere of their new performing version at Opera Theatre of St. Louis. The Grapes of Wrath is performed at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 27, at the Loretto-Hilton Center (130 Edgar Road; www.opera-stl.org). Tickets are $25 to $129. The opera is performed six more times in repertory through June 25.
6. See a new African-American classic
Ron Himes and Charles Creath first debuted their musical revue Crossin' Over in 2005, when we were fighting a war on terror and our civic freedoms were being restrained in the name of public safety. Twelve years later the show returns to a changed America, one that's seen the gains in liberty and equality achieved under our first black president under assault from yet another power-mad dum-dum. Crossin' Over charts the path of the African diaspora, from the middle passage to the civil rights movement. The show incorporates the entire trajectory of black spiritual music, from traditional West African drumming to church hymns and gospel standards, right up to the contemporary gospel of the moment. Throughout, the music runs the constant refrain of survival and resistance — we shall overcome, no matter the odds. Crossin' Over is performed at 7 p.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday (May 26 to June 18) in the Emerson Performance Center at Harris-Stowe State University (3026 Laclede Avenue; www.theblackrep.org). Tickets are $10 to $40.

The warmer months, of course, mean spending more time outdoors. And whether you're a fan of golf, classic cars, or watersports, there's an event to tempt you to venture out. Culture lovers and foodies are just as well catered for, with flowers, fashion, film, music, and delicious food fairs.
1. Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, California, USA
Founded in 1950 as an add-on to the Pebble Beach Road Race, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance (literally a "competition of elegance") celebrates collector cars, which it judges for authenticity, function, history, and style. Classes include type, marque, and time period, with first-, second-, and third-place finishers selected for each. The coveted Best of Show award is then bestowed upon one of the first-place winners. 2017's event takes place on August 20 and is expected to attract 200 of the most prized cars in the world. Little wonder that the Financial Times dubbed the California competition, "The number-one event of its type in the world."
2. Chelsea Flower Show, London, UK
RHS Chelsea—or Chelsea Flower Show, as it is commonly known—is arguably the most famous garden show in the world. It returns to its central London home again this year (May 23–27), offering visitors the chance to be inspired by show gardens, and to buy plants and flowers for their own outside spaces. Among the ever-popular displays are the headline-grabbing Show Gardens, designed this year to be "inspirational and thought-provoking;" the "unconventional and exciting" Fresh Gardens, which encourage their creators to think "outside of the box;" and the Artisan Gardens, offering "delightful designs on smaller plots." Prestigious awards are given out, including Best Artisan Garden, Best Construction Award, and the coveted Best Show Garden. Chelsea is a favorite with celebrities as well as garden lovers, and is opened by HM The Queen.
3. 2017 BMW PGA Championship, Wentworth, UK
One of the most famous golf courses in the world relaunches this summer after a £5 million facelift. Wentworth Club's West Course, the jewel in the club's crown, recently reopened in advance of the BMW PGA Championship (May 25–28)—part of the Rolex Series of eight events, each with a minimum prize fund of US$7 million. For its new incarnation, Wentworth has worked with design teams at Ernie Els Design and European Golf Design to create a course that is both challenging and rewarding for professionals and members alike. Improvements to the two other courses, the East and the Edinburgh, are to follow, after which Wentworth will be home to three outstanding and unique championship golf courses. After the UK, the Rolex Series continues on to France, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Turkey, and South Africa before heading to Dubai (November 16–19), where the 2017 Race to Dubai champion will be crowned.
4. America's Cup, Bermuda, Caribbean
Bermuda is the chosen host for the 35th America's Cup, which begins in May. Composed of 181 islands spread over 21 square miles, it's no wonder that Bermuda has long been the location of choice for luxury water-based sports. With its crystal-clear blue water and unique pink-sand beaches, Bermuda's Great Sound—a natural amphitheater—will provide the backdrop for 2017's event. Racing begins with the Louis Vuitton America's Cup Qualifiers (May 26), and from June 17 the top challenger will meet defending champions Oracle Team USA in the 35th America's Cup Match presented by Louis Vuitton. The America's Cup Village will house team bases and a pit row, along with food and drink offerings, and entertainment and concerts.
5. Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion at the V&A, London, UK
This May, London's Victoria and Albert Museum stages the first-ever UK exhibition celebrating the work of couturier and fashion designer Cristóbel Balenciaga. Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion will focus in detail on the 1950s and 1960s—the latter part of the Spaniard's career, when he not only dressed some of the most stylish women of the time but also introduced revolutionary fashion shapes such as the tunic, sack, baby doll, and shift dresses. Highlights of the show will include outfits created for Hollywood superstar Ava Gardner, and dresses and hats belonging to socialite Gloria Guinness. Many of the 100 garments and 20 hats on display have never been publicly shown before. The exhibition (May 27–February 18, 2018) will also feature archive sketches, patterns, photographs, and catwalk footage.
6. Drawing the Everyday at the Louvre, Paris, France
Staged to run alongside the Vermeer and the Masters of Genre Painting exhibition, the Louvre's Drawing the Everyday (until June 12) at the Louvre in Paris looks at how painters of the Dutch Golden Age depicted everyday topics, from street scenes to urban interiors. Among the 93 works on display are pieces by Rembrandt, Van Goyen, and Bega. The exhibition is split into two distinctive "worlds"—city life, which includes on-the-spot sketches (pioneered by Rembrandt) of beggars from the streets of Amsterdam—and rural life. This section includes works in what became known as the "peasant genre," depicting peasants, peddlers, and traveling musicians.
7. Food & Wine Classic, Aspen, USA
A firm favorite among foodies, the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen (June 16–18) brings together experts from the worlds of food and wine for more than 80 cooking demonstrations, wine seminars, and more over an indulgent long weekend. Launched in 1983 as the Aspen/Snowmass International Wine Classic, the event today attracts more than 5,000 visitors from around the globe to the Rocky Mountain destination. Each year the Classic brings together more than 300 wine and lifestyle brands, offering a showcase of the flavors we'll be savoring in the year ahead. The centerpiece of the show is the Grand Tasting Pavilion, where visitors can sample the goods on show. Brands from the world of travel, design, and entertaining also appear, giving a rounded view of lifestyle trends for 2018 and beyond.
8. Royal Ascot, Ascot, UK
Royal Ascot has long held court as one of British summertime's most illustrious sporting events, and for the first time in more than 100 years, a new enclosure will open to racegoers. The Village Enclosure will open in time for the Royal Meeting (June 20–24) and will offer gourmet boutique dining, innovative cocktail bars, and live music throughout the day, as well as a unique perspective on the race from the inside track, looking back towards the final furlong. To commemorate the occasion, bespoke globemakers Bellerby & Co. has created a hand-painted imagining of the Royal Ascot world, which will go on a tour of London and the southeast of England, residing at iconic addresses including The Goring Hotel, Christie's auction house, and the racecourse itself during race week.
9. Nantucket Film Festival and Boston Pops, Nantucket, USANantucket's balmy summer evenings and breezy, beachy lifestyle makes the popular summer getaway ideal for outdoor screenings and concerts. From June 21-26, the 22nd edition of the Nantucket Film Festival hosts fans and filmmakers for a weeklong series of indie film screenings, shorts, and talks, including events for children and teens. Then, on August 12, pack your picnic and head to Jetties Beach to watch the now-famous Boston Pops on Nantucket, in which conductor Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra decamps to the petite isle to perform to a crowd of thousands as the sun sets. All proceeds from the night go toward supporting Nantucket Cottage Hospital.
10. Firelei Báez: Vessels of Genealogies at DePaul, Chicago, USA
The work of Dominican-American artist Firelei Báez is celebrated in Chicago this spring/summer as the DePaul Art Museum stages Firelei Báez: Vessels of Genealogies (until August 6). The New York-based artist regularly investigates issues of identity with her work, and the large-scale paintings and drawings in this solo exhibition, "evoke the beauty and political implications of hairstyles, textures, and tattoos for those whose cultural identities have remained traditionally absent from dominant culture." The DePaul Art Museum, located in the heart of DePaul University, was built in 2011 and presents four to six temporary exhibitions a year, as well as housing a permanent collection of more than 3,000 objects.
11. Porto Cervo Wine & Food Festival, Sardinia, ItalyAgainst the stunning backdrop of Italy's Costa Smeralda, the Porto Cervo Wine & Food Festival brings together wine experts and food specialists to give a thoroughly Mediterranean overview of the epicurean world.

Kanzi and is late sister Panbanisha begin making sophisticated stone tools last year during a research project by IPLS scientist Itai Roffman conducted at the Iowa Primate Learning Sanctuary in Des Moines, Iowa. Roffman's findings shocked scientists around the world, and news immediately went viral in the science world. At last count, there are over 700 references and features on websites around the world, including stories by Psychology Today, Wired, National Geographic, Smithsonian.com, New Scientist, International Science Times, and The Guardian.
The most exciting part of this finding was the Bonobos improvement in their tool-manufacturing capacity was completely spontaneous and untrained. It was not even the result of observational learning, but rather a simple, spontaneous, and significant improvement over their previously expressed capabilities.
Kanzi and Panbanisha accomplished in 10 years something which is comparable to what it took early Homo a million years to accomplish. IPLS Resident Scientist Dr. Savage-Rumbaugh suggests that this increased capacity is a natural outgrowth of culture wiring the plastic bonobo brain into a human-like way of thinking — through the vehicle of language which suggests structures, basic categories, and action plans in the mind.

Football: Defeat leaves Hamburg deep in relegation mire
Former European champions Hamburg remain in danger of being relegated from the Bundesliga for the first time in their history after losing 3-1 away to Augsburg on Sunday.
They were three goals down inside 42 minutes as Turkey striker Halil Altintop scored a brace and Andre Hahn added another goal for the hosts, and Heiko Westermann's reply just before the interval proved to be a mere consolation for HSV.
Hamburg won the European Cup in 1983 but have not won any major honours since 1987, and now their status as the only club in Germany's top flight never to have been relegated is under serious threat with only two games of the season remaining.
Mirko Slomka's side lie 16th in the table, only a point clear of the automatic relegation places and with a home game against reigning European champions Bayern Munich and a tricky trip to Mainz still to come.
Should Hamburg remain third from bottom, they will earn a reprieve in the form of a two-legged play-off against the side which finishes third in the second tier for the right to play top-flight football next season.
Borussia Dortmund, who drew 2-2 with Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, will finish the season second to Bayern for the second year running after third-placed Schalke lost 1-0 at home to Borussia Moenchengladbach on Sunday.
A first-half strike from winger Patrick Herrmann gave Gladbach the win in Gelsenkirchen which left Schalke in third and seven points adrift of neighbours Dortmund with two games left.
On Saturday, Bayern Munich warmed up for Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg at home to Real Madrid with a 5-2 come-from-behind win against Werder Bremen.
Three days after their 1-0 first-leg loss in Madrid, Bayern fell behind twice against Bremen at the Allianz Arena before scoring four second-half goals without reply.
The flattering scoreline failed to mask Bayern's woeful first-half defending, which must sound the alarm bells for coach Pep Guardiola given the danger of conceding an away goal to Real.
Bayern have conceded the first goal in seven of their nine matches since winning the Bundesliga title late last month with a record seven matches to spare.
Once again the Munich defence was left wanting in the first 45 minutes before the reigning European champions roared back.
Bayern blasted Werder 7-0 in Bremen last December, but Czech defender Theodor Gebre Selassie fired the visitors into a 1-0 lead after 10 minutes at the Allianz Arena.
France winger Franck Ribery equalised before Aaron Hunt capitalised on some poor marking for Bremen's second to make it 2-1 at the break.
Bayern equalised again when Thomas Mueller headed on Ribery's corner and Claudio Pizarro was on hand to stab home his shot to make it 2-2 on 54 minutes, then the Peru veteran added his second against his old club four minutes later.
Bastian Schweinsteiger then powered home a header on 61 minutes before Arjen Robben hit the top corner of the net to make it 5-2 on 74 minutes, less than 60 seconds after coming off the bench.
On Saturday night Dortmund drew 2-2 at fourth-placed Bayer Leverkusen with all four goals coming in the first 45 minutes.
Goals by Lars Bender and Gonzalo Castro for the hosts were cancelled out by a header from Dortmund's Oliver Kirch and a Marco Reus penalty following a clear handball from Bayer defender Roberto Hilbert.
VfL Wolfsburg's own hopes of Champions League qualification were dealt a blow when they were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Freiburg to stay fifth.
Eintracht Braunschweig remain rooted to the bottom of the table after their 2-0 defeat at Hertha Berlin with USA international John Anthony Brooks and Tunisia striker Sami Allagui scoring the capital club's second-half goals.
Striker Shinji Okazaki became the highest-scoring Japanese player in a single Bundesliga season when he scored his 14th goal to break Shinji Kagawa's previous record in Mainz's 2-0 win at home to Nuremberg.
Okazaki headed his side's opening goal to break Shinja Kagawa's previous record, set for Borussia Dortmund in the 2011/12 season before he joined Manchester United.

Press Releases
Goodlatte & Hensarling to Ag: Why does Justice Dept. Require Banks to Donate to Activist Groups?
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Tex.) wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder requesting information about two questionable terms in the Justice Department's recent mortgage-lending settlement agreements with two major banks.
The Department's most recent settlements with Bank of America and Citigroup required millions of dollars in minimum donations to activist groups from an approved list, which includes La Raza and NeighborWorks, which has been described as "fund(ing) a national network of left-wing community organizers operating in the mold of Acorn."
In addition, as an incentive for donations above the minimum to these groups, settling banks earn two dollars' worth of credit against their Department-mandated consumer relief commitment for every one dollar donated. As stated in the letter, "[T]hese startling terms in the Justice Department's two latest settlements make them look less like consumer relief and more like bank 'shakedowns' to benefit special interest groups."
Read more about the unprecedented terms of the Justice Department's mortgage-lending settlements in the text of the letter to Attorney General Holder below:
Dear Attorney General Holder:
We request information about the Justice Department's mortgage-lending lawsuits and whether they actually deliver redress to consumers genuinely harmed.
Relief for these consumers is long overdue, yet the Justice Department's record settlements have left homeowners disappointed. It seems that the alleged victims are not the primary beneficiaries of these multi-billion dollar settlements. Instead, the terms in the Justice Department's two latest settlements look less like consumer relief and more like a scheme to funnel money to politically favored special interest groups.
First, the settling banks must donate a minimum of $150 million to activist groups like La Raza and NeighborWorks, which funds a national network of community organizers. Second, for each dollar donated above the minimum, banks earn two dollars' worth of credit against their overall consumer relief commitment. By contrast, direct forms of consumer relief, such as loan modifications, earn only dollar-for-dollar credit. This makes donations to activist groups far more attractive to banks than providing direct relief to injured consumers. As a result, the settlements appear to serve as a vehicle for funding activist groups rather than as a means of securing relief for consumers actually harmed.
On July 14, 2014, the Justice Department announced a $7 billion mortgage-lending settlement with Citigroup that included $2.5 billion in "consumer relief." In its press release touting the settlement, the Department described the relief as "innovative" and as going beyond the "principal reductions and loan modifications . . . built into previous resolutions." The details of this relief were contained in Annex 2 of the agreement. Menu item 4F of the annex requires a minimum $10 million in donations to HUD-approved "housing counseling agencies," which include La Raza and NeighborWorks. Menu items 4D and 4E require an additional minimum $40 million in donations for housing-related organizations, including "legal aid" and community development "non-profits."
For every dollar donated above the $50 million minimum, Citigroup will earn two dollars' worth of credit against its $2.5 billion consumer relief commitment. By contrast, for direct forms of consumer relief, like principal forgiveness, the base credit is merely dollar-for-dollar.
Nearly identical terms appear in the Department's August 21, 2014 settlement with Bank of America (BoA). This settlement, which the Department has described as "historic," demands a minimum of $100 million in donations to housing-related organizations, including counseling agencies, "legal aid" organizations and community development "non-profits." For every dollar donated above the minimum, BoA's credit against its overall $7 billion consumer relief obligation is two-for-one. Again, the base credit for direct forms of consumer relief is just dollar-for-dollar.
These terms appear unprecedented. The Department's November 2013 mortgage-lending settlement with J.P. Morgan Chase, for example, included only direct forms of consumer relief. Certain previous agreements, including during the George W. Bush Administration, provided that any funds remaining after all consumer injury had been redressed could go to third-party groups. But that is far different from earmarking mandatory minimum donations to activist groups as central provisions of settlements, and giving banks twice the incentive to funnel settlement funds to third-party groups instead of to harmed consumers.
In light of these concerns, we request that the Department conduct a briefing for the Judiciary and Financial Services Committees as soon as possible on the foregoing settlement terms and ask that you provide the following answers and information before the briefing and no later than December 9, 2014:
Thank you for your prompt attention to this request.
