Euro-Barometer 37.2: Elderly Europeans, April-May 1992 (ICPSR 9958)
Principal Investigator(s): Reif, Karlheinz, European Commission; Melich, Anna, European Commission
This round of Euro-Barometer surveys queried respondents on standard Euro-Barometer measures such as public awareness of and attitudes toward the Common Market and the European Community (EC), and also focused on the elderly and their activities, finances, and health care. Respondents were asked what sorts of things in life were of interest to them, whether they were treated with more respect as they grew older, the extent to which they agreed with several popular conceptions about being older, and whether they felt as though they were treated as second-class citizens by public institutions, certain professions, service providers, or their families. Other questions queried respondents about the amount of free time they had in their daily routines, what activities they had pursued during the past week, how often they saw their families, how much contact they had with young people and whether they would like to have more, and how often they felt lonely. Respondents were also asked whether they were members of voluntary organizations or charity groups and whether they would join a political party formed to further the interests of the elderly. Financial questions included whether the respondent preferred a pension for the elderly to spend as they wished or reduced prices and concessions for the elderly, how they would describe their current financial situation, whether their financial situation was secure, and what made them feel financially secure or insecure. Respondents were also asked a series of health-related questions, including whether they had any long-standing illness, disability, or infirmity that limited their activities in any way, whether anyone gave them regular help or assistance with personal care or household tasks, who gave this care, and whom they would turn to should they need extra help or assistance. Demographic and other background information was gathered on life satisfaction, number of people residing in the home, size of locality, home ownership, and region of residence, as well as the respondent's age, sex, marital status, number of children, education, employment status, occupation, work sector, age of retirement or expected age of retirement, religiosity, subjective social class, and left-right political self-placement.

Inciarte making strong impression in Phillies camp
By Adam Berry / MLB.com
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Ender Inciarte showed up early for the first day of Spring Training. He was worried that he might not have a locker.
So the Phillies' Rule 5 Draft pick, who's never played above high Class A ball, came in as early as possible and ran into manager Charlie Manuel, who offered Inciarte a cup of coffee, even though he admittedly didn't recognize Inciarte's name.
"You should've seen him. He told me, 'I didn't want to be late. I didn't want to be late for the first practice,'" Manuel laughed Sunday, when Inciarte went 2-for-3 with two runs. "He was worried. You could tell."
Manuel may not have known Inciarte on Day 1, but the speedy outfielder is making a pretty strong impression in camp.
Inciarte, who posted a .307/.376/.421 batting line with 46 steals in Arizona's system last year, has three hits in six at-bats, three walks and a stolen base, in addition to several impressive grabs in the outfield. Manuel praised Inciarte's speed, but more importantly his route-running -- direct and to the ball, no zig-zagging or drop-stepping.
"He will get to play more," Manuel said. "I'll use him in all three spots in the outfield, see how he can do. We'll see."
Inciarte is a long shot to make the Phillies' Opening Day roster. The 22-year-old from Venezuela lacks experience, even in the upper Minor Leagues, and the outfield competition is tough enough without him. But he has experience in the Venezuelan Winter League, where he learned from established Major Leaguers like Carlos Gonzalez and Gerardo Parra, and he's out to make a case for himself this spring.
"I came here just to play hard, and I don't know if I have a chance," Inciarte said. "I just know that I'm going to play hard, enjoy this game, have fun. They are the ones that make the decision. The only thing I can do is play every game as if it's the last of my life."
"I prepare myself to do the best I can, so if you prepare well, you're going to perform well. I'm seeing good results, and I'm working hard every day to do that."
Phils hitters paying heed to being more selective
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Charlie Manuel has noticed that Domonic Brown is getting a little more picky, and the manager likes it.
In addition to all the other improvements the outfielder's made, Manuel noticed recently that Brown was getting more selective in his at-bats this spring. The 25-year-old outfielder drew three walks Friday against the Yankees, and for the most part, he's swinging at good pitches to hit.
Part of that is just Brown's maturation, of course, but the rest of it is by design. It's a somewhat familiar refrain for the Phillies, but it's back again this spring: Manuel said he and his coaching staff have been preaching patience and pitch selection more often and more loudly this year, and he hopes it pays dividends throughout the lineup.
"That's real good to see, but I think also that comes from the fact that we're definitely talking more," Manuel said Friday. "We're always talking about things like working the count, getting good balls to hit, really look for balls that you can jump on, first pitch -- definitely fastballs middle-in, things like that. I think that's part of it."
The Phillies saw 3.79 pitches per plate appearance in 2012, down from 3.81 in '11, 3.85 in '10, 3.87 in '09 and 3.85 in '08. But the approach isn't so much about seeing more pitches so much as seeking out the right pitch. Third baseman Michael Young said he's noticed an emphasis on exactly that in his first year here.
"I think we've done a great job of making sure we really stay aggressive on balls in the zone," Young said. "With the talent that we have, if we make sure that we swing at our pitch, we're going to score runs. It's going to happen. We've done a really good job with situational hitting. That's something that they've preached early on in the spring as well. So those two things have been good, particularly because it's so early in the spring when guys are still trying to execute game plans and at the same time try to get their timing down. I think we've done a good job of that so far. It's good to see."
Manuel hopes that the message will finally take hold with his players, if only because they're hearing a unified message from so many people. It's not just Manuel and it's not just hitting coach Steve Henderson. They're hearing it from assistant hitting coach Wally Joyner and third-base coach Ryne Sandberg as well.
If the message sticks with Philadelphia's hitters, Manuel has reason to believe the Phillies' offensive numbers will be up across the board.
"There's power in numbers," Young said. "It's something where, if we talk about it as a team and continue to embed it in our approach, then we're going to be in great shape."
Lefties Howard, Brown power up against southpaws
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Ryan Howard and Domonic Brown did their best Sunday to further disrupt traffic on the part of U.S. 19 that runs by Bright House Field.
Both left-handed sluggers deposited a home run well over the right-field fence and beyond the confines of the part in the Phillies' 13-5 win over the Blue Jays, showcasing the kind of power that could make them both very dangerous if it carries into the regular season.
Even more encouraging: Their monster blasts came off left-handed pitchers, with Brown taking Toronto's Aaron Loup deep and Howard crushing a 1-0 pitch from Brett Cecil.
"That's a good sign. They've been throwing a lot of left-handers at us, which they always do and they always will," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "Those guys, they've got big power."
Sunday was Howard's ninth straight start, and he'll be back in the lineup Monday against the Pirates. Manuel has been running out the former National League MVP every day to get him back in baseball shape, and it's working. Howard's hitting .417 with three homers, three doubles and 10 RBIs in 24 at-bats.
"He's swinging pretty good," Manuel said. "I think his legs are starting to get under him, starting to get over the soreness, working on getting in shape."
And Manuel is just as happy with Brown, the up-and-down prospect who's looking to stick in the Majors this year. Manuel has spoken often about Brown's more patient approach and the way he's slowed down his mechanics, stayed in a "strong hitting position" and avoided trying to muscle every ball with just his upper body.
"As we've talked about, he's got to get more consistent. So far this spring, he's really looked good, and his swing looks real good," Manuel said. "He's got good balance at the plate. He's catching good angles with his bat out front. That's when he hits the ball to the right side of the diamond, things like that. He looks real good right now."
Worth noting
• Darin Ruf went 0-for-5 on Sunday, lowering his Grapefruit League average to .143. He made a strong throw from left field to home plate against the Blue Jays, but he's also mostly struggled in left field this spring. Manager Charlie Manuel acknowledged that Ruf's defensive woes might be affecting his hitting, but maintains that one strong game will get the 26-year-old slugger back on track.
"I think it's just a matter of time for him. When he's out there and he starts getting some work and starts feeling good about himself, he'll hit," Manuel said. "I think that's all the difference in the world. I think you'll see him come around."
• Asked if there's room on the Opening Day roster for both Kevin Frandsen and Freddy Galvis as the club's utility men, Manuel responded, "I could see where that could work. I see where it could work because in the National League, what we want as our utility player and also what we want sitting on the bench and making our bench stronger, giving us a chance to rest some of our players."
• Most of the regulars will be in the starting lineup behind lefty John Lannan against Pittsburgh on Monday, including Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Michael Young, Ben Revere, Domonic Brown, John Mayberry and Ruf.

Well, guys. Those of you who wanted her to perform worse than usually (for very different reasons), should be glad, because she did more than you wanted, she has 187 point instead of 190 as some posters wanted.
What's happened is very normal, I guess, because all the pressure that media put to her ("already won Olympics, the season is over") definitely couldn't help her. And now we discover incredible thing - "she is a human too". That's just funny. She is human and always was.
Today's performance, I hope, will prevent some journalists of making stupid remarks, because as we all know, the competition is not over until the last skater skated. And who knows?
Ironically, before her performance Brian was directly asked if Yuna can be beaten and after thinking about it, he said, that no, she's unbeatable. Ironically, Rachael Flatt (who did very, very good LP) won over Yuna exactly after this question. Because as we all know, and Yuna knows, and Brian, Yuna is not unbeatable. They never said things like that (unlike Tarasova, but that's another question), but when a journalist asks that question so rude, you feel like you will betray your skater if you say that she is beatable, so he answered another thing.
But anyway, even thought this performance wasn't the best, that changes nothing. Yuna Kim is the best skater and nothing can take away from her things that she'd done in the past.
So I hope that you enjoyed her struggling, but heroic performance and that little Korean skater will have her place in your heart. Please, be kind to her.

Jimmy Kimmel's Tears for a 7-year-old With Cancer Are Not a Hoax
Late night host and reason-we-can't-have-nice-things Jimmy Kimmel has made a schtick out of destroying your ability to trust a viral video ever again, but the tears he cried for a 7-year-old boy with cancer were no hoax.
Kimmel invited California first-grader "Super Max" Wilford to appear on Kimmel Live Wednesday night after receiving a touching video plea from Max's elementary school classmates and principal. The kids, inspired by Max's battle with brain cancer, are trying to build the world's longest rainbow loom chain to raise money for research, and Kimmel is giving them a boost by auctioning off his own suit.
After bringing out Max's favorite superhero, Iron Man, and presenting Max with his very own super-cape, Kimmel ended the segment choking back sobs.
This video evidence of Kimmel's little Grinch heart spontaneously growing three sizes is almost enough to make up for the worst twerk fail ever and the Sochi Wolf. Almost.

I don't know if people here have noticed this , but Skate Canada has awarded their annual Competitive Coach of the Year award to Wing and Lowe. well deserved , by the results they've had in the last year .
I'm very excited by their success and looking forward to see how their teams will do next year.
Mods : I couldn't see another thread that I thought would be suitable for this..but by all means amalgamate if you like.

Quite true, but this doesn't mean (for me, at least) that we have to encourage, support or maintain suffering. Suffering just happens naturally as we go along the path, due to our defilements; not due to the dhamma, I would say. My humble guess is that Ajahn Chah said this precisely to encourage peace, acceptance and appreciation towards the suffering, which is the dhamma, leading to calm and happiness.Sanghamitta wrote:I have quoted this before but one of the Ajahns trained by Luang Por Chah told me that Luang Por once said to him. "Until your practice has brought you three times to the edge of despair, it hasnt properly started."
Many of us are hard nuts to crack. We need strong nut crackers. Fortunately life is usually ready to supply them.
The view that one needs rough self-discipline, and it is all-right to suffer from that is a different thing, I think. As I understand it, the need for self-discipline arises precisely from the lack of kindness towards the mind and body. Kindness towards the mind and body creates agreeable conditions from which the mind doesn't crave to escape, rendering self-discipline unnecessary, leading to calm and happy states. This is how it can be a path without groaning.
This was not a reply to me, but it occurred to me that it is good to express these thoughts on peace.

That is my > understanding of the cluster for supercomputing in scientific community. there are communities like that, generally characterized by single/few applications and fairly homogenous user communities. benchmarking is indeed a good way to address them. I think some people overlook the prevalence of general-purpose HPC clusters: extremely disparate user communities, cross-discipline, cross-institution, having O(nusers) number of applications. benchmarking for such clusters is either an epic undertaking or you have to use microbenchmarks. > But, in real life, "cluster" diverges from "supercomputing", in order to huh? IMO, "supercomputing" is just computing beyond small scale. whether it's cluster or vector doesn't make the difference; neither does being single or multi-vendor. > expand the cluster without being tangled by the product provider, and, in order > to managing a evolving cluster, we have to allow certain/great flexibility for > the cluster. in my mind, that is not really a supercomputing or "high > performance computing" for computing efficiency ((e.g. possible conflicts of > mixtures of hardwares within the cluster?) Or, I am just plain wrong. the interesting part of this is how "openness" fits in here. vendors love lock-in, which is the opposite of openness. the distinction above (dedicated vs general-purpose) maps well onto this: if you are buying a dedicated, single-purpose machine, then you probably don't mind lock-in. if you're a general-purpose HPC provider with approximately as many applications as users, and intend to operate for more than a couple years, you'll need to think about evolution. IMO, the real value of open standards is that they eliminate lock-in. ethernet+IP is a great example - it's one of the finest examples of wide interoperability, and the world would be a sad, pathetic place without it. Fibrechannel, on the other hand, is basically a failure, though one which still has adherents, and even some sensible use-cases. it's violently non-interop, and has always been part of vendors' lock-in strategy. I'm sure you can imagine other examples, perhaps involving MSFT or DRM. this open-vs-lockin war is big, diffuse, obscure and confusing, and deserves much more media play than it gets, since it's determining the shape of our computational future. > Any expert can clarify the confusion?

Normally, if we > mix different hardwares together (like traditional beowulf cluster), how bad it > could be to affect the specifically designed cluster? it's not about "specific design", it's about conforming to open standards. the world has gotten a lot better in recent years, in the sense that you can easily buy 1U dual-socket nodes from any number of vendors (even most large ones) which will correctly PXE, IPMI, etc. a Linux god recently stated that "Linux is evolution, not intelligent design". I think he's right, and I'm always cheered when the darwinian ecosystem of the market is working well enough to quash vendor locking attempts. remember who said "embrace and extend"? it doesn't sound very threatening until you finish the thought: "... and lock-in"! practically, you _can_ require open-standard-conformance when you buy hardware. in fact, the act of doing so is what has improved the world. it's entirely possible to keep adding hardware to a cluster, and maintain its integrity. every bit of non-standard stuff (power management based on daisy-chained serial, etc) makes it harder, though. vendors don't like this approach because it means they have to compete based on lockin through sustained excellence. we should expect it of them, though: better reliability, service, price, performance, power dissipation, even appearance. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf

Hello all
I love my trusty savage 308. Had it for years an years. When elk hunting I've used mainly a 165 gr hornady round. I love the round an weight, plenty of stopping power with a well placed shot......with that said. What's are some of y'all's favorite in 308? I'm wanting to try something else if I'm missing out on a great round. Thanks in advance

In nutrition, polyunsaturated fat is an abbreviation of polyunsaturated fatty acid. That is a fatty acid in which more than one double bond exists within the representative molecule. That is, the molecule has two or more points on its structure capable of supporting hydrogen atoms not currently part of the structure. Polyunsaturated fatty acids can assume a cis or trans conformation depending on the geometry of the double bond.
The lack of the extra hydrogen atoms on the molecule's surface typically reduces the strength of the compound's intermolecular forces, thus causing the melting point of the compound to be significantly lower. This property can be observed by comparing predominately unsaturated vegetable oils, which remain liquid even at relatively low temperatures, to much more saturated fats such as butter or lard which are mainly solid at room temperature. Trans fats are more similar to saturated fat than are cis fats in many respects, including the fact that they solidify at a lower temperature.
A fatty acid has a carboxylic acid at one end and a methyl group at the other end. Carbon atoms in a fatty acid are identified by Greek letters on the basis of their distance from the carboxylic acid. The carbon atom closest to the carboxylic acid is the alpha carbon, the next adjacent carbon is the beta carbon, etc. In a long-chain fatty acid the carbon atom in the methyl group is called the omega carbon because omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet.
Omega-3 fatty acids have a double bond three carbons away from the methyl carbon, whereas omega-6 fatty acids have a double bond six carbons away from the methyl carbon. The illustration below shows the omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid.

Sub Box Question
I am looking for pictures of a sub box that does not disrupt the kick panel/foot rest under the help. My dad is a huge fan of the diagonal foot rest and in order for me to put the sub in the boat, he won't let me take away that space. I am putting a 12" JL W6v2 that requires a 1.25 sqft sealed box. I have searched the forums for other pictures but really only found set ups using a faux wall and eliminating the foot rest all together. Has anyone seen this done or have pictures?Joey

I do not have any specific pics of an LSV sub enclosure with the root rest left intact, but here is something that I find to be helpful. First determine what the max outside dimension of an enclosure can be in order to fit in the space you want. Then mock up a box out of cardboard for a test fit. Not only looking for how the enclosure will rest in its final spot, but will you be able to drop the completed enclosure under the helm and into its final resting place. You want to make sure the enclosure will fit past the seat and seat base, steering wheel, steering cable rack, etc. Better to know ahead of time while working with a cardboard box what needs to be removed or modified for the completed project to fit.
Once you have the outside dimensions and basic shape, you can now determine what the gross internal volume is going to be. If you box is going to be a simple rectangle of wedge, there a a few good online calculators that will allow you to just plug in your height, length and width x material thickness (I recommend .75"). Hopefully, the gross internal will be more then you need and you can adjust down the dimensions to reach your target net internal volume. Dont forget to take the driver's displacement into account. Depending on the weight of the sub and the overall power you intend to drive it with, you may want to consider doubling the baffle board. Also, internal wall bracing and a support cradle need to also be factored in if needed.
I used that exact sub in my supra 20ssv. probably very similar in the design and room under the helm. I didn't think there was enough room under there to do a proper sub box and keep the hump.
fwiw, after eliminating the hump, there's quite a bit of room to push a box further back. I didn't even miss the few inches of room that it ate up and you can still use the sub box as a footrest. build an angled box under there and use a heavy duty grill and it should be a wash
good luck..'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten
We do a lot of side-firing 7-sided sub enclosures (an irregular pentagon from the side perspective) that are mounted up on the hump so that you maintain the floor hump and have the full depth of foot/leg room under the enclosure. One angle exactly corresponds to the face of the hump (found by using an adjustable triangle and a square) and all other surfaces are either parallel with the sole or at 90 degress from the sole. The enclosure design and build is simple. The mounting bracketry is more complex since we use three mounting points for structural strength, we do not want to interfere with leg/foot room, we want easy removability for underdash access for the servicing boat dealer and the face of the hump is typically very thin fiberglass with little structural value. Since a 1.25 cu.ft. net is about 1.86 + cu.ft. external displacement this size of enclosure approaches the limit with a Moomba that is maintaining the floor hump. The Moomba doesn't have as much elevation between the underdash and sole as does a Supra of the same vintage.

David, I have considered the side firing sub with the idea of basically replacing the kick panel/foot rest with the box to utilize more space. I understand bass is better heard as a reflected sound, but does too much get lost going towards the bow of the boat when facing the outside wall of the boat? I guess the better question is, what are the pros and cons you have found in a side firing sub configuration?Joey

If there is no separation between the helm compartment and under the bow seating consoles then that extended cavity acts as more of a counter-productive bass trap. If applicable to your boat, you can add the separation and sectionalize the two compartments easily. If you cannot or choose not to add the isolation then I would probably avoid side-firing.
In an open field environment, bass energy dissipates rapidly without reinforcing planes, especially as the frequency lowers. So you can use all the leverage you can get to assist with the bottom octave of bass material. Otherwise the bottom octave takes a very steep decline. Side-firing takes advantage of the under helm cavity (provided it is isolated per the above comments) by creating a resonant chamber (much like the body of an acoustic guitar behaves as an amplifier over a certain frequency range) and by making use of the hull as a reinforcing boundary.
Now when side-firing the helm chamber has a slightly non-linear impact. This assists the deep bass output but serves to filter some of the upper bass or bass transients. In contrast, direct radiating offers a little better bass attack and pitch definition but without as much deep bass compression.
A well-designed bass-reflex enclosure provides another 3 dB of output (equivalent to doubling your amplifier power) plus it will give you another one-third octave of bass extension before reaching its half power point as compared to a sealed enclosure. So if running bass-reflex the advantages of side-firing exist but are somewhat minimized. If running a sealed sub enclosure in an open air environment (accelerated deep bass roll-off) I like to get all the deep bass leverage possible and would prioritize the attributes of side-firing.
I'm 6'8" and they don't interfere with my leg room at all!!
Just another idea for you.

I didn't read through all the replies but here is what I did in my Outback. Fit above the hump. (1) 10" JL Audio W6 in a sealed box, facing towards the side of the hull. Still have the leg room.

In 1956 a carefully designed study by the General Services Administration found that QWERTY typists were about as fast as Dvorak typists, or faster. Interest in Dvorak among companies and government agencies had lately been increasing, but it came to an end with that finding. Since then, as "The Fable of the Keys" explains, there have been a variety of other experiments and studies. They find that neither design of keyboard has a clear adv
In about 1992 I switched my Apple IIGs and my Mac Plus to Dvorak. It was easy on the Gs; it was built in. For the Mac I painstakingly built my own Dvorak layout with ResEdit. I pasted paper key labels onto the keyboard.
I was retrained in about a day and went nuts when I went back to qwerty. Apparently not nuts enough to do it again, though, although I occasionally toy with the idea.
I can see going for dvorak if it were the default. Otherwise, I would be hobbled trying to work in odd environments. Unacceptable. I simply cannot stand looking f

Why do i have to put sugar in the dough?
gilbert,You didn't indicate what kind of dough or style of pizza you have in mind, but sugar is not a required ingredient in a dough. There are natural sugars in flour that provide food for the yeast as well as for crust coloration. Sugar is often added to dough to achieve a softer finished crust, and sometimes for added color and flavor through caramelization and Maillard reactions during baking. At high enough levels, the sugar will produce a crust that is sweet to the palate. A good example is a Papa John's crust. Authentic Neapolitan style doughs and many NY style doughs use no added sugar whatsoever.Peter
My favorite pizza is Neapolitan so for making the dough i don't need to add sugar.
GilbertMost European breads, not just pizza, do not have any added sugar in their formulae. Only breads such as brioche - sweet doughs - have added sugar. I have noticed that most breads in North America include added sugar and are, therefore, too sweet for many people from Europe.
Gilbert,Some people try to use home ovens to make a Neapolitan style pizza instead of wood fired ovens, which are the best (and, arguably) the only oven to use for an authentic Neapolitan dough. For regular home ovens, sugar is sometimes added to the dough, as well as oil. If you have a wood fired oven, you shouldn't need either sugar or oil.Peter
Thanks, for me also no sugar But somewhere i've read that you have to put sugar in the dough against collapsing. Is that true?
It is unlikely that your dough will collapse without sugar, but a little will help with browning in your home oven. CL
I'm sure this could start an argument but here's my 2 cents. Once you add sugar and oil to pizza dough, you've turned it into bread.

"Rain-streaked spiritual jazz from Manchester." The Independent on Sunday
"Grooving through time on the spiritual sunship." Mojo Magazine
"If you like dreamy groovers with drifting melodies, you'll love this." BBC Music Magazine
Manchester based trumpeter, composer, arranger and band-leader Matthew Halsall is one of the rising stars of the UK jazz scene. His unique sound was brilliantly described as "Rain-streaked spiritual jazz from Manchester" by the Independent On Sunday and previous albums have found Halsall exploring the modal jazz of John and Alice Coltrane or paying heartfelt tribute to the hard bop of the late '50s and early '60s, but on his most recent album Fletcher Moss Park he offers his most personal statement yet.
Written and recorded over the last couple of years, Fletcher Moss Park is inspired by one of Manchester's most beautiful places. A rambling, multi-tiered park of walkways and dreamy gardens that offers the contemplative Halsall a place of peace and respite from the city, a meditative space to think and write in. The stillness and beauty of the surroundings have steeped into his beautiful compositions for this album. Elegant and sincere, Halsall's compositions draw on his love of spiritual jazz, modern dance music and even his work with the award-winning Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band earlier this year. Halsall favours earthy honestly and direct communication over tricksy arrangements and it is this deceptively simple openness that gives his music such a unique flavour as the young composer and producer seeks to express his feelings and thoughts with his music.
His superlative band features some of Manchester's finest musicians including rising star pianist Taz Modi (Sub-Motion Orchestra), bassist Gavin Barras and drummer Luke Flowers (Cinematic Orchestra). The addition of Rachael Gladwin's harp brings a sense of liquidity to the modal explorations, and Halsall's own beautiful playing lingers long after the music ends.
Zara McFarlane
MOBO nominated Zara McFarlane, a rising star on the UK jazz/soul scene, released her debut album on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings in October 2011. Positioned neatly between the twin worlds of modern jazz and eclectic nu-soul, Until Tomorrow confirmed the presence of a very special young voice on the UK scene. Exuding a liberal dose of subtle, stealthy swing, the album was rooted in the jazz tradition. However, Zara has brought an eminently soul undercurrent to what she does, and her music will appeal to audiences weaned on Jill Scott and Erykah Badu as easily as to those more attuned to Cassandra Wilson or Dianne Reeves.
In recent times Zara has supported Hugh Masekela; toured Europe; duetted with Gregory Porter; dropped a spectacular cover version of Junior Murvin's classic reggae jam 'Police & Thieves'; and performed live on French radio station – Radio Nova – as part of a special broadcast of London acts. Zara played in London to a spellbound sell out crowd on the 9th of October, where she dropped some of her new material as well as songs from the first album.
Album quotes:

Offense grounded as Cubs fall in finale
PHOENIX -- The Cubs could've used Alfonso Soriano on Thursday but will have to figure out how to win without him.
Soriano was pulled from the original lineup because of a pending trade to the Yankees, and without his bat, the Cubs mustered six hits, dropping a 3-1 decision to the D-backs, who are trying to keep pace with the Dodgers in the National League West.Full Game Coverage
PHOENIX -- The Cubs could've used Alfonso Soriano on Thursday but will have to figure out how to win without him.
Soriano was pulled from the original lineup because of a pending trade to the Yankees, and without his bat, the Cubs mustered six hits, dropping a 3-1 decision to the D-backs, who are trying to keep pace with the Dodgers in the National League West.Full Game Coverage
The Cubs' players may have been a little distracted during the game at the news that Soriano was leaving. He addressed his teammates after the game, then boarded a red-eye flight to New York. The deal was expected to be finalized on Friday, and the Yankees are home against the Rays.
"We got everybody together to say our goodbyes," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "It's emotional for all of us. You don't usually gather teams together that often when people are traded to say goodbyes. That just shows the kind of person he is."
Carlos Villanueva, who took the loss, said it was tough to focus on the game after hearing about the possible trade.
"You're impacted from a personal point of view because he's a guy who has been here for a number of years and everybody loves him here," Villanueva said. "A lot of the guys got very emotional and with good reason. ... It's going to be a big void to fill in our clubhouse. We wish him all the best."
Sveum got a call from president of baseball operations Theo Epstein about four hours before the start of the game. Soriano, originally scheduled to bat fourth, has batted .264 with 181 home runs and 526 RBIs in seven seasons with the Cubs, and finishes 11th on the team's home run chart. He is 11 hits shy of becoming the 273rd player in Major League history to reach 2,000 hits.
"He's put together a pretty good run here," Sveum said. "Last year, at 36 years old, he hit 32 [home runs] and drove in 108 [runs]. When he's on the field, he's lived up to his media guide, so to speak, besides the stolen bases that he had early in his career, the 40-40 year. That's the problem with stuff like that is people want you to have a 40-40 year all the time."
The Cubs didn't need Soriano to steal any bases Thursday, just provide a little offense against Wade Miley, who gave up five hits and walked three over 7 2/3 innings.
"Miley pitched a good game, he kept the ball down -- he sinks the ball and all his offspeed stuff was really good," Sveum said. "We held them to seven hits and three runs. That's a pretty good job. Other than that, we didn't get much going. There are some pretty emotional guys today during [batting practice] and after."
Chicago's bullpen was overworked, and before the game, Sveum joked that a complete game would be perfect. But Villanueva needed 37 pitches to get through the first inning and gutted out five innings. Adam Eaton walked to lead off the first, and scored on Aaron Hill's double to left. Arizona then loaded the bases on two more walks, and Villanueva struck out Wil Nieves to end the inning.
"He throws a lot of offspeed stuff," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said of Villanueva. "We did a pretty good job actually early on to kind of take that away from him. Then he started throwing more fastballs and he got in a groove a little bit."
Nieves doubled with one out in the fourth and scored on Cliff Pennington's double for a 2-0 lead. Hill smacked a solo home run in the fifth to make it 3-0.
The Cubs finally tallied in the seventh on Welington Castillo's RBI double, driving in Cole Gillespie, who walked.
Rookie Junior Lake, one of the players Soriano mentored, collected a bunt single in the sixth, becoming the first Cubs player to begin his career with a hit in his first seven games since Jerome Walton in 1989. Lake also is the first to get 15 hits in his first seven games since George Kelly in 1930.

Hi guys!!
I had some questions on ravens. Yup...
Don't ravens symbolize death? Or was it another bird that did? What are some other things that symbolize death? Any examples, please.
So if I'm correct, and ravens do symbolize death, does this have anything to do with the House of Ravenclaw or Rowena herself? What about the other Houses and their founders? Would badgers symbolize anything, lions, snakes, and wildhogs, was it, for Hogwarts?
Hehe, we were just doing a unit on symbols and similies for Walk Two Moons and in the novel there is a lot of symbolism and meaning so that got me thinking, such and such stand for their own Houses, so does that mean anything?
Any enlightening would be appreciated! Ciao!

Loaded Dodgers hit bump in the road vs. Crew
Los Angeles has plenty of talent, but that doesn't always guarantee victory
By Mike Bauman / MLB.com
MILWAUKEE -- The Los Angeles Dodgers are attempting to restore the greatness, the glory and probably even the mojo of a franchise that is indisputably rich in both tradition and accomplishment.
The talent is there on the 2014 Dodgers roster. Even a goal as lofty as this one seems to be within range.
There are 14 other National League teams that could look upon the Dodgers' roster and feel, in an honest moment, primarily envy. Just the Dodgers' starting rotation, which leads the Majors in ERA, is enough to send chills through potential postseason opponents.
But this restoration of previous glory is not always a straight-line, linear proposition. There are ups and downs. There are twists and turns. There are bumps in the road. The Dodgers just hit two of those bumps the last two nights at Miller Park.
Friday night the Dodgers had a defensive meltdown by their third-choice shortstop, Justin Turner, in what became a 9-3 defeat at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Saturday night, the 4-1 score was closer but the loss was every bit as painful. Zack Greinke was starting for the Dodgers. When Greinke, a former Brewer, pitched at Miller Park, his teams had a record of 25-2. That's 25 up, two down.
Greinke, unfailingly honest, was asked Saturday night if he knew why he had been so successful in this park. "Yeah," he responded. "When I was with the Brewers we scored like 11 runs a game."
The Brewers opposed Greinke with Mike Fiers, making his first big league start of the season, in place of the injured Matt Garza. Fiers had a successful run early in 2012 with Milwaukee, but in 2013 he had been hit hard and sent down to Triple-A, where his season ended prematurely when a line drive broke his right forearm.
This was a matchup that was, of course, supposed to be won by the Dodgers. But this is precisely why people shouldn't bet on baseball.
Greinke, the former American League Cy Young Award winner, gave up two home runs and eight hits in six innings, but that was not the real problem for the Dodgers.
"We didn't do anything with their guy," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "He came right after us. He didn't seem to be afraid of us."
Fiers, up from Triple-A and filling in for an injured pitcher, gave up a solo home run but only two other hits over eight innings. He was something special.
There is no particular shame in losing a series to the Brewers. They have been in first place in the NL Central since April 5. They now have a record that is nearly identical to that of the Dodgers. But they would be the first to admit that they are not possessed with the depth of talent that the Dodgers have.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke was with the Dodgers in an earlier era when they were on top. It was a different Dodgers organization then; a family-owned operation. But it was setting a standard of excellence.
Roenicke, an outfielder, was drafted by the Dodgers in 1977, came up through the organization and played for Los Angeles in parts of three seasons in the early 1980s. He saw the Dodgers organization as something apart from the norm, something above the norm.
"Yes, certainly I felt that way when I played there," Roenicke said. "I think they're certainly one of the elite teams that through the history of this game have been really good. Certainly you look at the Yankees in that way. But it goes way back.
"And [the Dodgers] feel that way. They have an air that they're going to contend every year. I think that's what every team strives for, is to start a season where everybody feels: 'We're going to be in this again.'"
As far as the Dodgers feeling that they can regain that same kind of luster now, Roenicke said, gesturing toward the visiting dugout at Miller Park: "They should. Look at that team over there. I mean, really. Look at that team over there. It's incredible."
That's what the Dodgers' roster says, name by name. It is certainly true that some of these names are not producing at their previous levels this season. But with that starting rotation, the Dodgers still must be regarded as a team with a chance to win anything, everything.
But getting back to the top in contemporary baseball, with a broader base of competition than existed in the Dodgers' previous glory days, is nothing like an automatic process. On Sunday, when the Dodgers start Clayton Kershaw and the Brewers start Jimmy Nelson, the Dodgers will be big favorites again. But that status didn't help them at all Saturday night.

Taylor Swift and John Mayer Walk Into a Bar, Drama Follows
Maybe John Mayer shouldn't have been quite so whiny to Rolling Stone about how Taylor Swift hurt his feelings with her 2010 song "Dear John." The New York Post says the rumored exes had an uncomfortable encounter at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.
Seems Swift, 22, arrived at the hotel's bar and was being led to a table when she saw Mayer, 34, seated nearby dining with a pal.
"Taylor very visibly -- in front of the entire restaurant -- demanded to be moved to the other side [of the restaurant]," relays a spy. "The bar's usually an oasis of calm and privacy for celebrities and power players, but this was drama central."
Swift's reaction isn't too surprising, what with Mayer's bellyaching over her ditty, which includes such loaded lines as, "Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?" and "I see it all, now it was wrong/Don't you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games/When I loved you so?"
The logorrheic crooner, who once gave a sidewalk press conference to announce he'd dumped Jennifer Aniston and described ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson as "sexual napalm," griped to Rolling Stone that Taylor's song made him "feel terrible," calling it a "really lousy" thing to do.
"I think it's kind of cheap songwriting," scoffed Mayer, who was briefly linked to Swift in late 2009/early 2010. "It's abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, 'Wait till he gets a load of this!' That's bulls---."
But the popster's camp says he had it coming. (Also, who dates Swift without expecting to be immortalized in song? Sheesh).
"I can't believe he is trying to play the victim!" a friend marvels to Us Weekly. "He played her and now he's claiming he got played? What a loser."
Counters a Mayer source, "She had a major crush. She told him she liked him and tried to make a move. He felt she was too young and stopped her, saying he didn't feel comfortable going there."
Does that sound like something John would do? Didn't think so.
"John was a player who treated her like s---," continues a Taylor confidant. "She felt like he looked at her as a conquest."
Concludes another Swift insider, "Taylor is going to think even less of him now. I didn't think that was possible!"
Mayer wooed woman by singing page from '50 Shades of Grey'

Rain, Rain, Go Away. Come Back Again After Opening Day!
As you might have guessed from my title, sunny Southern California isn't exactly living up to the hype at the moment. April showers and all that. Normally I would be fine with this. Drought year water restrictions are really annoying and I would like to avoid that. But tomorrow is the Angels home opening day and we have tickets and…and…okay, a rain out would hardly be an epic tragedy but I am starting to get seriously twitchy for a live game and the weather report is just teasing me – bouncing back and forth between dire predictions of a 60% chance of rain all day and then roughly a 30% change of rain in the morning and early afternoon.
I sure hope the rain clears out in time for the game. Seth and I could not be more excited and have a whole evening planned it. We're even both leaving work early enough to carpool and still get there in time to watch batting practice, unheard of on a weekday. It will be nice to start the home opener on a high note after a 5 to 1 win over the Rays. Dan Haren picked up the win. He pitched very well and was no doubt pleased with the Angels generous, early run support after their stinginess last season. Though many were initially confused by the nasty stuff of Rays pitcher Jeremy Hellickson, the bats were alive and well. Jordan Walden had his second outing since assuming the closer role and it was another one, two, three inning. I am so happy with this change! But I think that contests to give Walden a nickname and snazzy walk up music are a little premature. Let's actually watch the kid play first before we saddle him with a nickname.
Oh, and the tickets arrived today! My husband and I will officially be travelling for baseball this summer. Fairly late in the 2010 season, I was commiserating with an old college friend about the state of our teams. Neither of us liked our chances for a post season and we both knew we would be experiencing withdrawal like symptoms all winter. Of course, his team's ranking at that point was just so much more torture and it all turned out pretty darned well for him in the end. But we had so much fun goofing around, chatting about the game that he proposed an annual fan exchange program – in 2011 he and his guy will take my husband and I to a Giants game and we will take them to an Angels game. So we are heading up to San Francisco in July for the Giants/Dodgers game and we have great seats! For any family who may be lurking on the blog, first, thank you for reading 🙂 and, second, I will not be wearing either team's colors but will wear my Angels hat instead.
The Giants game happens to be the same weekend the Angels are in the Bay Area to play the A's, so I also nabbed good seats for the planned Angels vs. A's single admission, double header on that Saturday. Single admission, double header! Doesn't that sound like a great throwback to childhood?! I am so excited, I can't wait…for this weekend or for that one!

Oregon's private employers had approximately 22,900 job vacancies during winter 2013, according to a Job Vacancy Survey recently completed by the Oregon Employment Department. During the same month there were 181,100 unemployed Oregonians, or roughly 8 unemployed people for each vacancy. The high ratio of unemployed to vacancies reflects the still-sluggish labor market, and the usual seasonal slowdown in hiring that occurs each winter.
This is the first time winter estimates of Oregon job vacancies have been available. As expected, the estimate for winter vacancies fell below the 31,200 vacancies estimated from the last survey in fall 2012. Other indicators of hiring and labor demand typically reach a low point in the winter.
Other findings of the winter 2013 survey were very similar to the fall 2012 survey. About the same share of vacancies required education beyond high school, at 34 percent. Almost three-fourths of vacancies required previous experience. Full-time positions accounted for more than seven out of ten vacancies, and 83 percent of reported vacancies were permanent positions.
The health care and social assistance industry accounted for 3,900 of the winter vacancies, making up 17 percent of all vacancies. The management, administrative, and waste services industry (which includes company headquarters and temporary staffing agencies, among other businesses) accounted for roughly 14 percent of the total, with more than 3,000 vacancies reported. Three other industries each accounted for about 10 percent of vacancies: professional, scientific, and technical services; leisure and hospitality; and manufacturing.
Three occupation groups had more than 2,000 vacancies: transportation and material moving; food preparation and serving; and office and administrative support.
Smaller employers, those with fewer than 20 employees, accounted for 30 percent of all vacancies compared with 29 percent at medium-sized employers (20-99 employees) and 42 percent at large employers (100+ employees).
The survey captured data for five sub-state regions: Northwest Oregon/Willamette Valley; the Portland Tri-County area; Southwestern Oregon; Central Oregon; and Eastern Oregon. The Portland Tri-County area had 10,706 vacancies, 47 percent of the statewide total - a percentage roughly equivalent to the area's share of total employment.
The Employment Department has moved to a quarterly Oregon Job Vacancy Survey, replacing the annual survey that has been in place since 2008. Vacancies declined in the first quarterly panel in winter 2013; as it is the first winter panel, we don't know how the number of vacancies has changed since last winter. The fall 2012 estimate of 31,230 vacancies was similar to the 30,384 vacancies in the fall of 2011. Due to changes in survey methodology, these estimates over time are not directly comparable. However, the slight gains in vacancies captured by the fall survey are in line with Oregon's slow job growth since the Great Recession.
The Oregon Employment Department plans to release the second quarter 2013 figures from the Oregon Job Vacancy Survey in early July.

When you are thinking of having knee or hip replacement surgery, you may want to read more and talk to others with knee or hip problems. But a key step is sitting down with your doctor to discuss your quality of life and what your goals are.
Surgery may or may not be the right choice for you. Only careful discussion and thought can help you make a decision.
The most common reason to have a knee joint replaced is to provide relief for severe arthritis pain that limits what a person is able to do. Your doctor may recommend knee replacement when:
Some people are more willing to accept the limits their knee pain has placed on them. This means waiting until the pain is waking them up at night or preventing them from doing everyday activities.
Others may be interested in knee replacement surgery if their pain is preventing them from taking longer walks, playing tennis or golf, or being able to do other important, casual activities.
Knee or hip replacements are usually done in people age 60 and older, but many people who have this surgery are younger. When a knee or hip replacement is done, the new joint may wear out over time. This is more likely to occur in people with a more active lifestyle or in those who will likely live longer. Unfortunately, if a second joint replacement is needed in the future, it may not work as well as the first one.
For the most part, knee and hip replacement are elective procedures. This means the surgery is done to provide relief for your pain, not for any other medical reason.
The good news is that delaying surgery should not make joint replacement surgery less effective if you ever choose to have it. You are in control of this decision and will have the last word.
That being said, if the pain is so severe that you're hardly getting up and moving around, the muscles around your knee or hip may become weaker, and the bones may become thinner. When this happens, recovering from surgery may be more difficult and take longer.
Some medical problems may lead your doctor to recommend that you NOT have knee replacement surgery:
