Have I told you about the piano yet? I say that all the time now. The piano is the story I want to tell people. Every few years I end up with a story like this. Have I told you about the boy with two broken arms? Have I told you about the lobster? Have I told you about the man who stole my shoes, and how I chased him down? Have I told you about the bus that was on fire, the train to Mongolia, the boat that almost capsized?
I should just tell you about the piano directly without all the preface; yet I ask you first because I tend to repeat these stories. I repeat them because I think, I hope, that these stories say something about me. That they depict me as brave and true and wild and weird. These are the stories that make me think, while they are still happening, oh, good, another story. I'm still alive.
The piano surprised me, showing up as it did on my facebook feed a day or two after Greg asked me to marry him. Free piano to anyone who can come and get it today! By the time I finished that sentence, I knew the piano was mine. It was my destiny, just like the little desk I bought from a French man in a parking lot in New York that I had to stuff into a cab, which now sits in my apartment covered in parking tickets and pens. Just like the siamese cat that is, at this moment, running in circles around a hand-carved table that I also became instantly attached to. I try not to be materialistic-- my clothes are downright tattered and my shoes all stink-- but when I think about certain materials, like wood and paper and paint, I realize that as computers overtake my brain, I still covet objects. Real objects you can hold in your hand and make a noise with. Like pianos.
I immediately claimed it. It was mine! It was mine, even though I had no way to go get it. Don't even have a car. It was mine, even though I was currently at work. It was mine, even though I didn't know how to play it. None of that mattered, because what I knew the second I saw it was that it was Greg's engagement gift. He got me a ring, and I would get him a piano. I asked around for a truck to put it in with limited success. Then I realized-- since this piano was going to float to my apartment one way or another-- I should find someone currently at the piano location and have them bring it to me. So I did.
Two teachers brought it from a school and tipped it onto a dolly. The elevated it up eight stories, wheeled it into my place, and set its 500 pounds next to the kitchen counter in my studio apartment. I was all gratitude.
Greg came home and I said, "you'll never guess what's in here!" and he couldn't. I think he was in shock. It was in beautiful shape and terrible tune. He immediately started to play it.
Bad sounds wafted in the air. Neither of us can play, but from a lifetime of performing, both of us have good ears. We know what music should sound like. It was salvageable but sour.
"I'll tune it," Greg said, and I immediately said, "I don't know if you can!" Piano tuning is notoriously hard. Piano tuners are notoriously weird. For weeks, I told people I'd taken this the piano, and Greg told people he was going to tune it. Every time the person would tell him that he probably couldn't tune the piano all on its own.
Greg ordered the tuning tools in the mail. He took the top off the back, revealing the harp inside. A piano's just a harp surrounded by wood, a hundred and eighty-eight drums smacking down on hundreds of little strings of steel. And he began to tune it.
It took forever. It took days and nights of waking up and falling asleep to a one-note dong-dong-dong-dongdongdongongononononggggg as he tuned it. There were over two hundred strings in all, and each one had to be tuned. It sounds just about perfect now, although he occasionally goes in there and adjusts a string.
But all that was a while ago. Now he plays whole songs, although they take him far too long. He refuses to play anything but difficult songs. They each take him six or seven minutes to play instead of three. Chords are suspended in slow-motion in the apartment as I fall asleep, or when he gets home from work. This morning he was at the piano even before his eyes were fully open.
Does it drive you crazy? people ask me when I tell them about the piano. Not at all, I say. It's like living in a lullabye. It makes things slow and quiet. There's music in my home now. I've gone over and touched the keys a few times, trying to remember how to play, trying to start over. Sometimes when Greg's not here I sit down and do scales. But I know my part of the story. I'm the magician who makes a piano appear, to sidestep all of the reasons it was impossible to get one. I'm the one the piano happened to.
But Greg's the one who will see the mechanics and fix it up. He's the one who will tune it. He's the one who will make the music sound right.

When choosing an international group insurance provider there are a number of factors that you will need to consider - not only will the plan benefits and coverage be important, but also what "added value" services are available to make your life easier.
As international group insurance brokers, it is our goal to serve our clients and provide the very best assistance, service and products. To this end, we offer a number of key features and services that are exclusive to our organization and make us different from other international insurance providers:
With a dedicated team of programmers who work in-house, we have the strength to develop and grow our technical abilities. Not only has this allowed us to develop our EGI client system, but also to tweak that system as clients needs and demands change over time. Our client system allows you to manage all aspects of your enrollments whenever you need to, either by manual changes, excel uploads or our dedicated API. Not only that but the system automatically generates all documentation and emails it out to participants. We also have the ability to allow participants to check and track their claims online, by simply logging into their account, they will have secure access to the status of claims, EOB's and much more.
Not only should your carrier be a top rated insurance carrier (A- or better), but you should also make sure that you have a direct agreement with the actual insurance carrier. At Envisage Global Insurance, we only work with top rated carriers, but with all our plans you will have direct access and a contract with the actual insurance carrier. This means your plan carrier cannot be changed without your knowledge - plus when you make premium payments they go direct to the carrier and not a middle-man.
Our main plans are underwritten by Lloyds of London, with whom we have had a partnership with for nearly 15 years. This longstanding partnership shows the strength of our relationship, but also the stability of our plans. When looking for insurance options, you should always be aware of how long a carrier has been working in this market, but also how many carriers they have used in the previous 5 years.
We have developed a range of industry leading videos to help students understand the healthcare system and other important topics. An example of one of our videos is our introduction to the US Healthcare System. These videos are available for current clients to use in their orientation and training programs about the insurance plan.
With our company headquarters in the USA, and satellite offices in Germany, Mexico and China, we are ideally suited to assist you on our time zone, and have a dedicated team there to help you along the way.
Having the support and assistance from your account manager is what we are known for. Our account managers are not only attentive but also quick in responding and making sure you get what you need. This assistance is what makes us stand out from the crowd, so that you have the help when you need it!

Blue light is made up of two parts – the turquoise part has many health benefits.
Blue-Turquoise light can be beneficial to our health. It regulates the circadian rhythm (our internal 'body clock'), which controls our sleep-wake cycle. So it is essential to a restful night's sleep. It can also boost brain activity, improving memory, mood, alertness and mental performance.
As with UV rays, overexposure to blue-violet light can be harmful to the eyes.
It can damage the retina, and potentially increase the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts and photokeratitis (sunburned cornea) – which can lead to temporary blindness.
We have the latest in Blue-control coatings from Essilor, Hoya & Shamir and the coatings are available on all prescription lenses.

I look forward to this event every month: It's time to make some raw panforte for Recipe Redux!
I may not have been part of the Recipe Redux sharing community for all that long, but it certainly surprised me that the group has been around for 4.5 years! To celebrate and reflect on this milestone, as well as the holiday season, the recipe theme this month was a little bit different:
The Recipe ReDux has been around for 54 months! To celebrate, we're playing a little party game this month: Grab your nearest cookbook and ReDux the recipe on page 54 or 154. We can't wait to see the books you're cooking from these days.To celebrate, we're playing a little party game this month: Grab your nearest cookbook and ReDux the recipe on page 54 or 154. We can't wait to see the books you're cooking from these days.
After reading the instructions when the month's theme launched, I grabbed the closest book in a pile of new purchases, dutifully turning to page 54. The recipe I found in Clean Living: Eat Clean All Year by Luke Hines & Scott Gooding could not have suited me better, a no-bake, raw panforte that would be perfect for the hot weather we're expecting over Christmas here in Melbourne. There's no way I want to be running the oven during 40C weather and this dessert should also be served chilled from the fridge for the best consistency. Good book choice Ally!
Panforte is traditionally a dense, spicy fruit cake made with white flour, boiled sugar syrup and an icing sugar dusting on top. By turning the recipe into a raw food dessert, we can drastically improve on the health benefits of this dessert while still enjoying it's signature chewy texture. Look, I even kept the snowy-looking top with a dusting of delicious desiccated coconut!
I've adapted this recipe from the original in Clean Living: Eat Clean All Year, with a few little Om Nom Ally tweaks. First I've omitted the lemon zest they use altogether, and added some fresh orange juice and extra coconut flour so as not to waste using the oranges just for their zest. Omega 3-rich walnuts have gone into the recipe instead of hazelnuts, with pitted prunes and coconut syrup as the sweeteners. I've also used single spices and vanilla extract (instead of 'mixed spice'), with a touch of black pepper – as panforte is supposed to be a spicy, peppered bread or "panpepato".
This raw cake is also a great last-minute dessert recipe; just mix, press into your cake tine of choice and chill for a few hours to set! Serving 12 people, pop any leftovers back in the fridge for up to a month (or in the freezer for up to three), the flavours will continue to intensify over time.
- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 1 cup walnuts, coarsley chopped
- 1 cup pitted prunes, coarsely chopped
- ½ cup raw cacao powder
- ⅔ cup coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup coconut syrup
- Juice of one orange
- Zest of one orange
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- pinch of salt and pepper
- desiccated coconut
- Line bottom and sides of a 20cm round cake tin with baking paper and put aside.
- Combine all ingredients (except desiccated coconut) in a large bowl and mix well to combined. Pour panforte mixture into prepared cake tin and press down with wet hands to compress and even out top. Wash hands and then scatter desiccated coconut over top of panforte, pressing down gently with hands again.
- Chill for a four hours until set, or overnight, then slice into 12 pieces and serve.
- Serve chilled on it's own or with fresh berries and seasonal fruit.

The triceps are one of the most noticeable muscles on any bodybuilder, and considering that they make up the majority of your upper arm, getting big triceps should be the goal of any potential bodybuilder. In this article I want to talk about how to get the "big tris" that will make anyone proud.
Training The Triceps
Barbell Bench Press
As the name suggests, the triceps are made up of three different muscles, and in training the triceps one needs to pay attention to hitting each specific part of the triceps.
Most triceps exercises can be grouped into three categories: movements for overall mass, movements to hit mainly the upper triceps, and movements that hit mainly the lower triceps. One needs to also remember that anytime any type of pushing movement is done, from bench press to pushups, the triceps are involved.
This is why many people like to train triceps on their chest day, since the pushing movements done for chest get the triceps warmed up. Of course, they can also tire your arms out and therefore I also like to do arms on their own day sometimes. You just have to find what works best for you.
Tricep Dumbbell Kickback
So how do you get those massive "horseshoe" shaped tris? The key is to hit all three parts of the triceps, so that they not only grow but separate as well. The best way I have found is to mix one movement from each of the three categories I mentioned above: one movement that hits all three parts of the triceps for overall mass, one for the upper triceps, and one for the lower.
Although the triceps are a pretty large muscle, I feel that you should not do anymore than ten sets at the most for tris. An example of exercises for overall mass includes close-grip bench press, weighted dips, and triceps extensions.
For the upper area, kickbacks and pressdown movements work well. And for the lower triceps, dips really work the best. So based on this, here is a sample triceps workout:
- Close-Grip Barbell Bench Press
3 sets of 8, 6, 4 reps
- Tricep Dumbbell Kickback
3 sets of 8, 6, 4 reps
- Dips - Triceps Version
3 sets of 10 reps
Form, as always, is important. For the dips, make sure you don't lean to far forward, as this makes it more of a chest movement. Slowly go down, then rise up but don't lock your arms out to keep pressure on the triceps the entire time.
Do all movements slowly with a pause at the bottom to really feel the burn. In time, you may want to add another movement for overall mass to your triceps workout. Here is one of my favorites:
- Standing Dumbbell Triceps Extension
3 sets of 8, 6, 4 reps
- Lying Triceps Press
3 sets of 8, 6, 4 reps
- Dips - Triceps Version
3 sets of 8, 6, reps
- Triceps Pushdown
3 sets of 10 reps
Remember to do each set with as much weight as you can do for that many reps. Your arms will feel like rubber after that workout, and your tris will start growing in no time.
Of course, there are almost endless variations on these exercises. You can do the triceps presses (also sometimes known as French presses) standing up if you prefer. The same goes for the extensions. Some people like to do them seated, others standing up.
For the dips, you most likely will want to start doing them without weight, especially to get the form right. Dips can put a lot of stress on the elbows. Eventually, you'll probably want to get a weighted dip belt and start doing them with weight.
Or you can hold a dumbbell between your feet. Some people can do that, other cannot. The point is to find what works best for you, and experiment with it until you find something you really like.
Then when you find it, do it for a few weeks then switch it again. As with any muscle group, hit the triceps differently almost every time. As soon as you can start doing each rep easier, don't hesitate to increase the weight.
The triceps are one of the most visible muscle groups, and they will go a long way to making your arms bigger. With the guidelines I've outlined here, you'll be adding mass to your arms like crazy. Good luck and email me with any questions.

Summer Reading
We take it for granted now, so it seems obvious at best (and trite at worst) to say that I am constantly amazed by the connections the internet allows us to make between a fleeting thought or passing interest or random curiosity and the next article or conversation or book we read or movie we watch. But it's true. I often think I would like to have a map showing the connections - like one of those route maps in an airline seat pocket, but a million times more crowded. Many of the idea threads we pursue end after the first click, but others open up new worlds, new interests, and sometimes even friendships. At any rate, a friend's tweet about a review of Daphne Du Maurier's short story collection Don't Look Now (which I'd been reading in bits and pieces, and which is truly, truly excellent) caught my eye and off I went. The reviewer was author Alix Ohlin, and several weeks later I stumbled across her novel The Missing Person (Knopf, 2005) at the library and picked it up, the beginning of a new reading pathway.
The Missing Person turned out to be delightful read - Lynn, an art history graduate student in New York City, has stalled out in both her dissertation and her love affair with her advisor. On her mother's urging, Lynn returns home to Albuquerque, NM to track down her younger brother Wylie, an idealist who has gone AWOL after falling in with a band of eco-activists. While she re-establishes a relationship with her brother, Lynn gains a more mature perspective on her family's past and comes to terms with the people they have all become, in addition to making some new friendships of her own. This is a character-driven, quieter novel - the plot is not especially action-packed or even so unusually profound; there is nothing that, in abstract sounds so very exceptional- except that as you read it, you find yourself charmed by the quirky but likable characters. There's an ease to Ohlin's writing, with moments of both humor and beauty that make for lovely reading, and I felt so attached to the some of the characters I even got a little teary at the end. Since this novel was published, the author has written several more books, most recently Signs and Wonders (Vintage Contemporaries, 2012). Looking forward to reading more.
I also recently enjoyed Paula McLain's The Paris Wife (Ballantine Books, 2011), a historical novel from the perspective of Ernest Hemingway's first wife, Hadley Richardson. I am always a bit uncomfortable with historical fiction when it imagines and recreates the inner lives and conversations of real people, but I must say this was well done, extensively researched, with fluid writing and a propelling storyline. In addition to being an interesting consideration of what it must have been like to be married to such a unique personality (and still maintain any sense of self), it was a fascinating look at the way Hemingway worked and the way writers lived at the time - the Hemingways were friends with Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein and her companion Alice Toklas, and many other notable writers. If you enjoyed Nancy Horan's Loving Frank (which I did, immensely, once I got past the first few treacly chapters), you will likely enjoy this as well.
Looking ahead - there are a few books in the review queue I'm very excited to read and report back on - Tommy Zurhellen's Nazareth, North Dakota and its recent sequel, Apostle Islands, both from the always-amazing Atticus Books; James Warner's All Her Father's Guns; and Tim Horvath's short story collection Understories. I'm also delighted to share that David Abrams, author of both the forthcoming novel Fobbit and the outstanding literary blog The Quivering Pen will be a guest here in September.
Which reads are delighting or surprising you this summer? Share in the comments below, and happy reading!
2 comments :
I'll begin on a purely superficial note: that cover art for Zurhellen's novel is gorgeously creative! I greatly like the way you've described the interlocking threads of happenstance that link blogging, reviewing, reading and encountering amazing connections. I've found that to be so true on my end, too. Indeed, one of my amazing connections through book blogging is with you! :D *cues the end of the mushiness*ReplyDelete
The Alex Ohlin title you read sounds like the perfect fit for a quietly contemplative Sunday's evening read. I've been immersed in several of the books I acquired at the 2012 Bocas Lit Fest, this past April. I'll have a review of one up on Novel Niche later today, in fact. :) The wealth of Caribbean writing being produced these days is thrilling, and, for a writer who aspires towards publication, an encouraging sign.Replies
Awww... and likewise :D! Yes you would enjoy The Missing Person - definitely looking forward to reading more - another new one of hers just positively blurbed in The New Yorker this week. Excited to hear about some of the new authors you are discovering - popping right over to check it out!Delete

January: Best of Culture in Pittsburgh
Check out some of the finest stage plays, dance performances and exhibits taking place this month in Pittsburgh.
Center stage
by lauren davidson
Jan. 24-Feb. 11/ What could possibly be so great about a musical that tells the origin story of "The Wizard of Oz?" I was asking myself that question before stepping into the Gershwin Theatre on Broadway six years ago to see "Wicked" for the first time, and my question was quickly answered. The epic story that combines love, sisterhood and a fight for social justice set against fantastic sets, flying broomsticks and masterful songs, such as "Defying Gravity," immediately became a favorite. "Wicked" follows two teenagers at a magical boarding school, Glinda and her roommate Elphaba, who will ultimately become better known as the Wicked Witch of the West. But how do the two — one blond and bubbly, one green and cynical — become best friends, teaming up against the "Something Bad" that's happening in Oz before learning what they can do "For Good?" And which of the characters who appear along the way will become those friends Dorothy meets along the Yellow Brick Road? If you're skeptical, as I was, put that aside and experience the magic at the Benedum Center during this PNC Broadway run. (Benedum Center, 237 Seventh St., Downtown; 412/456-6666, trustarts.org)
Jan. 25-Feb. 25/ The opening song from Tony Award winner "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" says it all: "Nothing with kings, nothing with crowns; Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns. Old situations, new complications, nothing portentous or polite; Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight." Join Pseudolus, Hero, Philia and more at Pittsburgh Public Theater for Stephen Sondheim's version of this comedy of errors set in Ancient Rome. (O'Reilly Theater, 621 Penn Ave., Downtown; 412/316-1600, ppt.org)
Jan. 20-Feb. 18/ "The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey" is a one-man play by James Lecesne (a LGBT rights activist who won an Academy Award for his 1998 short film "Trevor") that will take the stage at City Theatre's Hamburg Studio this month. Adapted from Lecesne's 2008 young adult novel, "Absolute Brightness," the story is a poignant, touching and timely tale of a gay teen who goes missing and a detective, and community, who work to find out what happened to the larger-than-life 14-year-old who was just trying to be true to himself. (1300 Bingham St., South Side; 412/431-2489, citytheatrecompany.org)

THROUGH FEB. 17/ A double-header at Silver Eye Center for Photography showcases two very different visual journeys: one biographical, the other autobiographical. Baseball provides the focus for the first show, "Fantasy Life," described as "a space to contemplate the history of the game, the nature of ambition and the mythos of the American Dream." Tabitha Soren followed the lives of minor-league draft picks for the Oakland A's for 15 years. She began in 2002, as these boys of summer — Pittsburgher Brant Colamarino among them — were joining the major-league farm system out of high school or college. With her camera, Soren — a broadcast journalist who went on to pursue the fantasy life of a photographer — captured not only what happened on the field during their quest for glory, but also off: long bus trips, motels, friendships, marriages and other life passages along the way. Some stars rose, and others sank — even to homelessness. Very different places, times, circumstances and perspectives power "SISMOS," which references the Spanish word for earthquake. Tarrah Krajnak takes us to 1979, the year of her birth in Lima, Peru, a time of seismic unrest and change. That same year, Krajnak was adopted by parents in an eastern Pennsylvania coal town. Although personal photographs are often essential elements to a visual autobiography, Krajnak does not rely on images of her or her family to tell her story. Instead, she retro-focuses back on her birth year and cobbles together archival materials, found photographs and other images "to invent something like a psychic history of that year and locate herself within it." (Silver Eye Center for Photography, 4808 Penn Ave., Bloomfield; 412/431-1810, silvereye.org)
THROUGH JAN. 12/ Instead of cheaper by the dozen, think better by the dozen. Twelve regional artists converge for "Pittsburgh 10 (+2)": Zivi Aviraz, Robert Bowden, Eva Damianos, Sylvester Damianos, Kathleen DePasse, Lila Hirsch-Brody, Mark Panza, Phiris Kathryn Sickels, David Sparks, Susan Sparks, Dirk VandenBerg and Francine VandenBerg. The core group started out as just half-a-dozen, six artists who had worked together at Panza Gallery in Millvale and developed strong inter-creative relationships. Their numbers increased in 2015, and they became The Pittsburgh 10 at Eastside Gallery in Forest Hills. Now, they've added two more for this show, offering a variety of styles and media, at BoxHeart Expressions' main gallery. (BoxHeart Expressions, 4523 Liberty Ave., Bloomfield; 412/687-8858, boxheartgallery.com)
THROUGH JAN. 28/ They've got rhythm. That's the conclusion to reach at "Recurrent Rhythms," a show of 2- and 3-D creations by glass artists that demonstrate how repetitive motifs and geometric forms can create, through the ensemble as a whole, a "rhythmic quality." "Color, pattern and texture invite the viewer to explore how both interior and exterior dimensions add depth to the works' complexity," an exhibition statement explains. Participating artists include Ben Cobb, Eric Cruze and Tomo Sakai, Chad Holliday, Steve Klein, Weston Lambert, Morgan Madison, Cynthia Miller, Richard Royal and Charonne Ruth. (Morgan Contemporary Glass Gallery, 5833 Ellsworth Ave., Shadyside; 412/441-5200, morganglassgallery.com)

Jan. 17/ Founded in 1975, Brazil's Grupo Corpo (Body Group) has earned an international reputation for its trademark amalgamation of samba, bossa nova, capoeira, modern dance and ballet. The 21-member troupe, guided by Paulo Pederneiras, maintains 10 works in its active repertory, most featuring original music. On tap for this show is resident choreographer Rodrigo Pederneiras' "Dança Sinfônica," a retrospective of repertory highlights accompanied by a commissioned symphony, and former company member Cassi Abranches' 32-minute "Suite Branca," an exploration of gravity set to music by rock musician Samuel Rosa. (Byham Theater, 101 Sixth St., Downtown; 412/456-6666, trustarts.org)
Jan. 16/ "Dancing with the Stars: Live! – Light Up the Night" presents a fresh showcase of ballroom and contemporary dance selections performed on the popular ABC network reality show, which has been a TV staple since 2005. An offshoot of "Strictly Come Dancing," a BBC production, the weekly Los Angeles-based competition features professional dancers paired with celebrity contestants ranging from athletes to opera stars. Eliminations are based on judges' scores and audience votes. The post-season tour brings fan favorites, such as Sharna Burgess, Artem Chigvintsev and Witney Carson, new partnerships, and favorite dances to the stage. (Benedum Center, 237 Seventh St., Downtown; 412/456-6666, trustarts.org)
Jan. 17-21/ Montreal-based Cirque du Soleil, known for acrobatic, nature-inspired extravaganzas, offers "Crystal," its 42nd production but first foray on ice. The tale follows the travels of Crystal, a misunderstood young woman who falls through the ice during a midnight skate and discovers a reflection of herself beneath the surface. Sliding and various forms of fast-paced ice skating — including extreme skating on ramps — augment the troupe's movement vocabulary, which embraces astounding aerial and acrobatic feats. (PPG Paints Arena, 1001 Fifth Ave., Uptown; 412/642-1800, ppgpaintsarena.com/events)

KPMG's recent 2014 Cloud Survey Report (download here for free, no signup) finds that cloud usage in the enterprise is no longer primarily driven by cost but by business transformation. In 2012, it was all about Cost Efficiencies. Today, other considerations are increasingly at the forefront.
It's about more than cost – Part I
Driving cost efficiencies (49%) is still the top use of cloud but the gap has narrowed dramatically. Mobile enablement (42%), improved alignment with customers/partners (37%) and better leveraging of data for business insights (35%) are important ways in which business are looking to use cloud computing.
Mobile Enabling Employees
Truly mobile-enabling your company doesn't just mean buying devices or instituting a BYOD policy. It means applications and services that are mobile-aware and Cloud is an essential enabler. It's an inevitable nexus of forces: Mobile + Cloud is truly a case of 2+2=5.
Cloud implementations are succeeding …
Improving business performance (73%), service automation (72%) and reducing costs (70%) are the top three success areas. Importantly, there's a lot companies have learned since 2012 and they're far more successful with cloud.
… but there are still challenges
Data loss & privacy (53%), risk of intellectual property theft (50%), and impact on IT (49%) are major concerns. Again though, we're dealing more with day-to-day concerns than getting-started concerns.
It's about more than cost – Part II
Security (82%) and data privacy (81%) outpace cost (78%) as factors when selecting a cloud solution and others like functionality (76%) and integration (74%) are not far behind. With all the recent high-profile cyber-attacks, it's clearly a hot-button issue across the enterprise. Cloud providers get this and have teams dedicated to security. Far beyond the efforts of most organizations.
The cloud's potential is sky-high and it will inevitably impact more and more areas of every business. The best part is that cloud is reducing costs but it has also become a key enabler driving all kinds of strategic business transformations.

Les marchés de Noël, or Christmas markets, are an important part of Christmas in France, and in many other European countries as well. In France, the markets generally open in the beginning of December and run until Christmas, although some are only open certain days.
Many towns and cities of all sizes host Christmas markets. One of the biggest markets is held in Strasbourg, which is also the longest-running Christmas market; it has been held annually since about 1570. The biggest is in île-de-France.
Even in my little city of Niort there is a Christmas market. It opened on December 7 (which is also coincidentally La Noche de las Velitas in Colombia) with a parade in the town and it was the first day they turned on all of the Christmas lights that illuminate the town. There are also temporary booths set up that sell crafts, hot wine, and crepes, among other treats.
Today I also visited the Christmas market in a town called Coulon, about twenty minutes from Niort. I bought some delicious chocolates and looked at the different arts and crafts. Here are some more photos of the markets in Niort and Coulon:

JOHNSON, VIRGIL LEWIS (1935–2013). Virgil Lewis Johnson, popular singer and public school administrator, was born in Cameron, Texas, on December 29, 1935. He moved to Lubbock with his parents when he was a small child, and he sang in the youth choir at New Hope Baptist Church. Johnson was inspired by vocal groups he heard on the jukebox and performed with a local group while attending Dunbar High School. After graduation, he attended Bishop College, where he sang in a group called The Dynatones. He earned a degree in education. Later he added studies in counseling and school administration at Texas Tech University.
During his time as an English teacher in Odessa at Blackshear Junior High School, he organized some students into a vocal group known as The Velvets and sang with them locally for school events. Popular music singer Roy Orbison heard them on an Odessa radio station and recommended the group to Monument Records at Nashville in 1960. With Johnson as lead singer, The Velvets signed a recording contract and cut several songs at RCA in Nashville. Their greatest hit, "Tonight (Could Be the Night)," reached No. 26 on Billboard in 1961. The Velvets later gained recognition as among the top ten doo-wop groups "of all time," and Johnson became the first African American honored on the West Texas Walk of Fame for entertainers in 1994.
When the doo-wop style became less popular and the group disbanded by 1966, Johnson resumed his education career at Dunbar High School (later renamed Dunbar-Struggs High School) in Lubbock as a teacher and athletic director. He later became principal at Alderson Junior High School and then at Estacado High School, where he led with firmness and a sense of humor. Beginning in 1984 he served as principal of Dunbar High School; he retired in 1993. That same year the Lubbock Classroom Teachers Association named him Administrator of the Year.
During his career as an educator he also refereed basketball games and served as an officer of the state officials organization. After retirement he became "V. J. the deejay" for KDAV radio in Lubbock. He also performed a few shows in the city. In 2008 Johnson was named one of Lubbock's 100 most influential people by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.
Virgil and his wife Ida Delois Johnson, a teacher, had a son, Patrick Deon Johnson. The Johnsons played active roles in New Hope Baptist Church. Virgil Johnson died on February 24, 2013.

PARIS – I confess that when I saw that the famed Alsatian chef Antoine Westermann was opening a bistro on Ile-Saint-Louis, I had visions of red-checkered tablecloths, mounds of choucroute, and those old Alsatian favorites of baeckeoffe and kougelhopf. Not that any of these are bad, it just wasn't what I thought Paris needed today.
Well, the moment I stepped foot inside his bright, airy, starkly modern new spot, my eyes lit up. The place says right out loud, Fun, Modern, Youthful. You enter into a high-ceilinged black and white dining room, with a giant black onyx table d'hôtes at one side, cozy tables for two along another. Glasses glisten in clear crystal, plates contrast in pure white, and towering white lilies flow out of a skyscraper-sized glass vase in the center.
The second you are seated, a chilled glass of Alsatian pinot blanc is set at your elbow, and you are prepared to be won over.
The menu, at first glance confused me a bit, for such unexpected and nontraditional combinations as leeks and mackerel, dorade (porgy) teamed up with shellfish in a casserole, and carrots, raisins and dates with roasted codfish.
But once the plates began coming, my fears were alleviated, my palate did handstands. What Westermann has created is a new voice, a voice that seems to say, Trust me, I know what I'm doing, and I am not simply going to drag out the 10 greatest hits one more time. Even dishes that I might not normally order – such as a moist and delicious pâté en croûte – was consumed with pleasure, both the moist pâté and the deliciously crunchy crust that encased it. I ate it all, including the nice bit of aspic and the accompanying mixed salad tossed with a welcome walnut vinaigrette. In short, the food is bright, copious and surprising, without leaving the Alsatian boundaries.
On a giant table in the center sits a loaf bread that must be a meter long, and all night long the youthful, friendly waiters slice and refill baskets and guests devour each and every crusty slice.
I adored the warm tuberous vegetable salad --- including tiny potatoes in their skins, penne-sized turnips, and Jerusalem artichokes – all bathed in a wholesomely delicious broth, topped with slivers of the thinnest, best foie gras and a showering of fresh green lamb's lettuce, or mache. But even for me – a veritable salt lover – the dish was overly salty.
Other good starters include the salmon rillettes – you might define it as cooked carpaccio – finely ground fresh and smoked salmon shaped into three little scoops, like a sorbet. The portions looked huge but somehow, everything was devoured. Even the suspicious leeks in vinaigrette paired with the fresh, delicious pan-fried mackerel, seemed to make sense after all.
The evening was cold and rainy and the huge poitrine de veau, or veal breast braised in the giant Alsatian casserole with a bright shower of sliced carrots made the evening quite a bit more welcoming. Also cooked in an ochre Alsatian casserole were the braised fillets of fresh dorade, set on a bed of fennel, another combination that worked that night.
The dessert list includes some nice offerings, such as a good chocolate tart (that resembles but does not come close to the version made famous by Joël Robuchon), and the confit of apples paired with vanilla and pistachio ice cream, a dished designed for sugar fiends.
We drank the house pinot blanc from the house of Kenzler and talked about how underrated Alsatian wines can be, especially the whites that come from a land of little sun, but great soil.
Prices are good, with a daily menu of 38 €, lunchtime daily specials at 15 €, and a la carte offerings of entrees at 10 €, fish and meat and 20 €, and desserts at 8 €.
Even though the restaurant is brand new, it already has a nice neighborhood feel. We left wishing we lived down the block from My Old Friend.

If you've never had a Chelada, the idea of mixing beer with Clamato juice may make your stomach turn. This odd combination of beverages has origins in Mexico that date back to the 1940s, when beer was mixed with lime, salt, and hot sauce or salsa. In early 2008, Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) and Cadbury-Schweppes (Clamato) teamed up to produce the first canned Chelada beverage, which they dubbed "The Red One," and after a successful launch in select western states, the product is now exploding across the country. Many swear by the drink as a remarkable hangover cure, and after some extensive personal experimentation, I must concur.

Lena Dunham Thinks Calvin Harris Was Taylor Swift's Worst Boyfriend
These days, Taylor Swift pretty much keeps her love life on the DL.
The "I Did Something Bad" singer has quietly been dating actor Joe Alwyn since early 2017. Understandably, Swift became irritated when her relationships with Jake Gyllenhaal, Calvin Harris, Tom Hiddleston, Joe Jonas, Conor Kennedy, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer and Harry Styles got more attention than her professional accomplishments—so she went off the grid.
One of Swift's famous friends, Lena Dunham, was a guest on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen Wednesday when she was asked to reveal which boyfriend she liked the least during a round of Plead the Fifth. The prompt came in the form a video message from her Girls co-star Andrew Rannells, and Dunham just so happened to be a guest with Maggie Gyllenhaal. (Awkward!) Before she answered, Andy Cohen warned her, "Choose your gentleman carefully."
As if someone as outspoken as Dunham would avoid the question!
"I want to do right by her on this question—and I'm also proud, because I haven't pled the fifth on any of these and I think that makes me some kind of champion!" Dunham said. "My least favorite was 'Calvin Harris,' because I felt he was petty in the public and who needs to do that?"
(As Dunham noted, things did get pretty messy after Harris and Swift called it quits in 2016.)
In the same episode, Dunham was also asked to weigh in on Swift's recent decision to become more politically outspoken. "That was really amazing. I mean, I'm always proud of Taylor. Not only is she an amazing friend to me on a personal level, but she's an amazing friend to lots of people in the world. She felt it was time for her to talk about politics—and I never judged her for considering that a private domain—but I think she chose a really, really powerful time to speak out," the producer of HBO's Camping said. "I'm so moved and honored to be her friend."

Touch-read water meters replacing older residential models
- About this page:
- Last Updated: January 30, 2014 January 30, 2014
The City of Albany is replacing residential water meters that are more than 20 years old with a new model that allows meter readers to take readings electronically.
On older model meters, readers must open the lid to record water use numbers each month. The new Sensus iPerl meters have an electronic touch pad that gives a reading without needing to open the lid. The new meters are further distinguished from the older models with a white cover plate.
For more information on how to read your new water meter, click here.
The iPerl is lead-free, has no moving parts, and is warranted to be accurate for at least 20 years.

Instances of people wanting to send money from Australia to Luxembourg are not uncommon. Here's the help you need in picking the right option.
Banks versus money transfer companies
David Schmit first visited Australia as a teenager. Ever since, he wished to relocate to this country. Now that he's here and has a steady job, he wants to send some money back home, to his mother who lives alone. He plans to send around $1,000 every month.
He has a bank account with a leading financial institution in Australia. While he can use its services to send money to Luxembourg, he thinks he might be able to get a better deal. He goes online to compare his options. This is what he finds.
|Australian bank
|Money transfer service 2
|Exchange rate
|Transfer fee
|Amount received for $1,000
|Transfer time
|Two to five days
|One day

|Difference of
When compared to his bank, the money transfer company resulted in a more profitable transfer. Besides, if also got the money to his mother sooner. David, choosing to go with the money transfer company, as a result, comes as no surprise.
How do I compare transfer companies when transferring and receiving money via Luxembourg?
While money transfer companies tend to rate better than banks in the field of international fund transfers, not all are equally good. When comparing your options, pay attention to these factors:
- Exchange rate and fees. A money transfer company may offer highly competitive exchange rates, but it may charge high fees to compensate for the same. The reverse holds true as well. This is why you should ideally look at how much money the recipient will receive at the end of the transfer.
- Ways to send money. The most financially viable option might not be the most convenient. Most banks and some money transfer companies let you send money to Luxembourg in person. Some of these businesses let you transfer funds over the phone. You can also find money transfer companies that offer their services only through the Internet.
- Ways to receive money. The recipient can get money directly into a Luxembourgian bank account. Another option is to collect the transferred money by visiting a cash pickup location.
- Turnaround time. The quickest way to send money to Luxembourg is to get the recipient to collect money at a cash pickup location. These transfers can happen almost instantly. If you're transferring money to a Luxembourgian bank account the turnaround time depends on the transfer company you use.
- Using the same bank. If you and the recipient have accounts with the same bank, using its services to transfer funds can be to your advantage. This would be through reduced fees and a quicker turnaround time.
- Minimum amounts. While some money transfer companies have no minimum transfer limits in place, some others don't let you transfer less than $200, $500 or $1,000.
- Transfer options. If you plan on sending money to Luxembourg periodically you should ideally look for a company that lets you make scheduled payments. Some also offer forwards contracts and market orders.
- Customer service. If you need to contact a company representative for any reason you should be able to do so online as well as over the phone.
How do I send money to Luxembourg from Australia?
You can send money from Australia to Luxembourg using different methods, through banks or non banking institutions:
- Banks. Check with your bank to find out if it lets you send money to international bank accounts. If it does, you may be able to initiate the transfer online, over the phone or in person. If you have a chequebook you can consider sending a cheque via mail. Buying a money order from a bank and mailing it is another option.
- Non banks. Money transfer companies such as Western Union and MoneyGram let you send money to Luxembourg, in person or online. The recipient can receive the funds in a bank account or at a cash pickup location. You can use the services of PayPal to send money to Luxembourg. Opening a PayPal account takes little time and does not cost any money.
How do I receive money from Luxembourg in Australia?
Getting money from Luxembourg to Australia is not difficult. Your options include:
- Banks. If you have an operational bank account you can get the funds into your bank account directly. The sender can do this using a bank or a money transfer company. You can also receive bank issued money orders and cheques by mail. Once you do, simply deposit them in your bank account.
- Non banks. Non banking businesses such as Western Union and MoneyGram have numerous cask pickup centres across Australia. They let you collect cash transferred from Luxembourg. Using PayPal to receive money is also an option. After the money gets to your PayPal account, withdrawing it into your bank account is simple.
Emergency cash transfers in Luxembourg
Losing your wallet or money in a foreign land can be daunting. If this happens when you're visiting Luxembourg, make sure you cancel your debit and credit cards as soon as you can. You can then think about getting some emergency money in these ways:
- Cash pickup. Can you get a family member or friend to send you some money? If so, locate the nearest cash pickup centre. Pass this information to the sender. Remember that you'll need to show a valid ID to collect the cash.
- Cash advance. If you have a Visa, Mastercard or American Express credit card, you can visit a local participating bank to get some emergency money.
- Travel insurance. With the right kind of travel insurance cover you can get funds to deal with a variety of situations that include medical emergencies as well as flight delays and cancellations.
Cash pickup locations in Luxembourg / Western Union / MoneyGram branches in Luxembourg
Western Union and MoneyGram have several locations spread across Luxembourg. When you're going to collect cash from any such location take the reference number with you. You'll also need to provide an acceptable form of ID such as your passport or driver's license. If the transfer involves a large sum, you may want to call ahead of time to check for availability of funds. Here are some cash pickup locations in Luxembourg:

Tips for picking up cash in Luxembourg
Most visits by foreign nations to Luxembourg remain trouble free. However, scam artists can target foreign visitors and local residents alike, leading to considerable financial loss. There has been an increase in reports of burglaries by people who've moved into the countryside. Crimes in these regions tend to take place around holiday periods.
There have been instances of pickpocketing, especially at the main bus and train stations. Thefts and pickpocketing take place in hotel lobbies, especially in the Findel area. It is in your best interest to keep your bags within sight at all times. Avoid displaying expensive items.Back to top

» BMW radiator grille evolution. BMW kidney shape radiator cover - called often 'BMW grille', is since 1932 one of the characteristics of the brand. Of course there are many other traditional features of the BMW cars, but the 'grille', often imitated by other brands, is a truly recognizable feature of the BMWs. It had much to do with the construction of these cars: motor at the front, radiator just behind the grille, transmission in the middle, wheels powered at rear.
