Escalation: Are Super Heavies That Hard to Kill?
Escalation has been the most controversial release by Games Workshop in as long as I can remember. People are making huge, sweeping accusations that Super Heavies are invincibile, their firepower is way more than anything else in the game and that they touch children at night. So with some simple math and logic, lets put at least one of those nasty rumors to rest.
Suppression vs Super Heavy Penalties
It is absolutely true, you cannot suppress a Super Heavy. You can't weapon destroy it, shake it, stun it or even immobilize it. It's not dead until it's dead. Realistically, this is a rule that makes super heavies relevant until their last HP is gone, and good! Without it, after a couple penetrating hits, your super heavy would be worthless. It is important to remember that some super heavy vehicles are going to obliterate potentially whole units at a time. If you are facing a Doomhammer with it's S10 Ap1 Ignore Cover, 10" Blast, DO NOT keep all your anti-tank weaponry in one place! Ideally, spread them out on multi-story ruins, then that massive blast will struggle to get effective shots.
So you can't suppress it, but instead, you're gaining VP's for killing it! Kill a super heavy and bam, here's +3 VP's. Many games are won by First Blood alone and that's a single point! On top of that, getting +1 to reserves and a pretty nifty Warlord table and I'd say that it's a wash to lose Suppression on one vehicle.
9 HP vs 3 x 3 HP
Lets compare things that are already in the game. How about 3 Leman Russes? Sure nobody takes them, but that's not the point, the point is that nobody is afraid of them. So lets compare that to a single Baneblade. The least number of shots it takes to kill 3 Leman Russes is well, 3. If each of those pens and explodes, you've got 3 dead Leman Russes. Similarly, if you get 3 pens and roll 3 explodes, you will still cause 9 HP on average, thus killing a Baneblade. This is because each Explodes result actually causes D3+1 HP of damage, not just the D3 from the explode, but also the 1 from the penetrating hit. Unlike other vehicles though, every 3 HP of damage is not reducing the firepower you are taking in the face, so as I mentioned above, do not keep all your anti-tank in one place, and if possible, spread it out over as wide of an area as possible and take advantage of multi-story ruins.
Okay, that scenario is unlikely, so how about a much more common situation? What happens to those Russes (assuming they're a squadron) when you get 2 glancing hits and an explode result? The answer is that the explode result is totally redundant. You will kill precisely 3 HP worth of vehicle. Now, lets say that firepower was directed at the Baneblade instead? You would actually be causing 4-6 HP worth of damage from that same volley. Two of those volleys on average is a dead Baneblade, while it is only 2 dead Leman Russes.
Now, lets get to everyone favorite model to whine about, the Revenant. The Revenant is AV12 and ignores half the hits it takes and has the typical 9 HP. So lets think, what else have we faced that is even remotely similar? Well, 3 Wave Serpents with Holofields is 9 HP and ignores half the hits it takes from it's cover save, and they also have the ability to turn penetrating hits into glances! The Wave Serpents have the added advantage that they're not a single unit (like the Russes before), so it's entirely possible to overkill a Wave Serpent, while you cannot really overkill a super heavy. Have you killed 3 Wave Serpents before? Well then you've done exactly what it takes to kill a Revenant! Good for you!
Final Thoughts
Yes, Super Heavy vehicles are tough to kill, but they are no tougher to kill than things that you already are playing against. You won't be able to suppress it, but when you do kill it, your opponent is going to have an incredibly hard time catching up. Super Heavies are going to change the game, but instead of complaining, do some thinking about how to best handle the situation. It is much more fun to play a game where you well thought it out, than to just whine and cry about having to change the way you approach a game of 40k.

EU citizenship : still a fundamental status?
Title: EU citizenship : still a fundamental status?
Author: SHAW, Jo
Date: 2018
Series/Number: EUI RSCAS; 2018/14; Global Governance Programme-296; GLOBALCIT
Written as a standalone essay as part of an edited booked based on citizenship forums published on the GlobalCIT website, this essay is intended to explore the trajectory of EU citizenship, under pressure from forces inside and outside the EU. The focus of the discussion is on three issues: the autonomy of national citizenship laws in the face of EU citizenship; the citizenship consequences of Brexit; and the choices made and actions taken by individuals and groups that may impact upon on the future of EU citizenship. This discussion is prefaced by an initial exploration of the challenges and complexities of EU citizenship and of the relationship between citizenship and concepts of integration and Europeanisation.
Subject: European Union; Immigration; Brexit; Europeanisation; Constitution
This is the pre-print version of an essay to be published as a chapter in the (forthcoming) book edited by Rainer BAUBÖCK, Debating European Citizenship, Springer, IMISCOE Research Series, 2018 (ISBN: 9783319899053; 9783319899046)

Morning folks... am hoping that Mr Blogger has been kind enough to upload this on my behalf as by the time it shows on my blog I will be sitting on the M8 heading to the SECC and yippee my chum Kath will be arriving to join me today.
This is another card I made for the Sakura Selection show on Ideal World... papers & images are from Joanna Sheen, the flowers are made using the new Fiskars scalloped circle squeeze punch & the circular shape template was also used. Main image was water coloured using Sakura shadow pens again & the doodling was made using a purple pigma micron pen also from Sakura... the colours that are now available are just delicious & a must have for your craft box.
Hopefully I'll be able to post another little something tonight again when I get home, but in the meantime... happy crafting.

Discount Brokers Fight for Investors
Even Amid Merger Talks, Price War Continues; Boom in Options Trading
Amid a fierce price war, major discount-brokerage firms have been conducting merger talks. But they are also making a variety of other moves -- from new products to fee changes -- that directly affect the millions of investors who trade securities online.
Last week, E*Trade Financial Corp. formally expressed an interest in acquiring rival Ameritrade Holding Corp. Earlier, TDWaterhouse Group parent Toronto-Dominion Bank was in talks to buy Ameritrade. Whether or not mergers do happen, individual investors are likely to continue...

Pewter casting and shoes
Showing all 3 results
This resembles Japanese Chrysanthemum design. Very tiny and very pretty. Size is 5/16″ which is fine for collars and very delicate things. Also used on dolls clothing. Matching design 143 but a bit larger is #146.
145 pewter button, is a Daisy design. This tiny button can be used on collar closings and dolls clothing.
The matching button for this design is a tiny button #124.
147 is tiny button, and they are small 5/16″. Some folks use them for doll's clothing. Yet they are still good for a high collar and shirt collar buttons. The Britannia pewter will stand the time.

With the viewneo Zapier integration, you can connect viewneo with 750+ apps and automate your digital signage content. This article will walk you through the process of creating your own Zaps.
Additionally, you can access your finished zaps from your viewneo account. We'll show you how it works by zapping Google Calendar and viewneo:
Change the playlist when a new event in Google Calendar is coming up.
Important: To link Zapier with viewneo, you need a free Zapier account.
1. In viewneo, click on the puzzle icon at the bottom left of the screen
2. Click on "Use it" located under the Zapier plugin
3. Then select the above zap between viewneo and the Google Calendar by clicking on "Use this Zap". Take a look around and see if there are other Zaps that you are interested in using. The process is identical, so once you know how to set it up once, you are good to go.
4. Now a new window will open and you will be redirected to Zapier. At this point, go back to "Create this Zap" to continue. If you are not logged in, you will first be asked to log in.
5. Now you define the trigger that your playlist should react to later. In this case, the trigger fires 15 minutes before an event starts in your Google Calendar.
6. Since you are using Google to complete this Zap, you will need to link to your Google Account. Confirm the prompt and continue with "Save and Continue" on the lower right.
7. You will then be asked to select a calendar for which the trigger should be set. If an event is created in the selected calendar in the future, your viewneo playlist will change 15 minutes before the calendar event.
Click on "Continue". Here you will get an overview of your trigger again and jump with "Fetch and Continue" to viewneo.
8. Now you define the Action [Action] - in our example a playlist change - when the previously defined trigger "Event starts in 15 minutes" arrives. Go to "Continue".
9. You will now be asked to link Zapier to your viewneo account. Go to "Connect Account", log in to viewneo and confirm the authorization request from Zapier.
10. Now you can select the playlist to be displayed when the previously defined trigger arrives. Furthermore, the desired device group must be defined. This means that you can set all of your devices to respond to the trigger or only one. Finally, click on "Create and Continue".
11. One last test runs, to determine if everything is set correctly. Then you can click on "Finish" and set your zap to "ON". Your playlist will change automatically, depending on the triggers you set.
In the future, more and more finished zaps will be added to viewneo. If you have ideas on additional integrations, please let us know :-)!

Progress on 2014 Meat Cycle
Several folks had trouble finding our explanation of our "standard" cutting package so I will include that here.
The "standard" package is what we have found to be the most common preference of our customers for how to process their side of beef. It is a three way split between steaks, roasts, and hamburger. The cuts include rib eye, T bone, sirloin, round, and flank steaks cut to 3/4 inch thickness. The roasts include prime chuck, sirloin tip, rump, bottom round, brisket, eye of round, and knuckle roast. We shoot for 3-5 pound roasts that will fit in the crock pot. We include some stew meat, and short ribs and soup bones. We do the hamburger as lean as possible- aiming for 90% and package them in 2 pound packages. We cut up the large bones so you can render them down if you wish. We find homes with mushers for those who want to leave their bones. A standard cutting package on a 250 pound side of beef will also produce about 40 pounds of bones and fat or "trim". You can vary the cuts any way you want. The thickness of the steaks and the size of the hamburger packages can change at your request. Since the hanging weight does not include organ meat it is not included in the pricing but is available as is extra hamburger and sausage if you request.
Payment is by check or cash at the time you pick up the meat.

Little Imperfections
Flaws are what make the world go round
Whether it's a little wrinkle in my shirt, or a cuff in my jeans, I think those little imperfections make an outfit complete. It is so much more relatable to someone who has those faults, because truly, everyone has them, it's just a matter of who wants to cover them up or not. But those flaws and those faults and insecurities make us who we are, and I wouldn't be me without that little bump on the right side of my nose, or my so called "bubble butt" or my short stature. I have become proud of my flaws, because every time I look at them, I think of the type person I am, and how I wouldn't be that same person if one of those flaws weren't there.
The sweater dress I wore today was inspired by those flaws. It has small tears and its uneven and doesn't really have a shape. And it sounds so ludicrous trying to relate an article of clothing to a physical or emotional aspect of yourself, yet it is so accurate. It has these little faults because those faults are what made me want to buy that dress in the first place. And those same faults that I recognize in a negative way, somehow are such a positive influence on the full outfit. Your flaws are your assets.

Jeff, Codi and I toured several local gardens last Saturday.
Such a perfect Day to enjoy the hard work put into these gorgeous places!
An artist was in the structure, plein air painting.
Charming area, but no sign of chickens in the coop.
Tricolor beech….all season beautiful color.
Codi loved hanging out in the gardens, eating a cookie or two.
This garden was especially artistic.
I am in love with this plant…rose campion.
Fireworks on a stem! Have a wonderful 4th of July holiday!

As the year comes to an end, it's always a useful exercise to take some time to review the past year and all its events. Reflecting on what happened during the year, what you accomplished, and what could have been done better will bring closure to the year and will also provide the space for valuable learning. It's also a good idea to take some time to review the past before thinking about the year ahead.
When you are ready to close the chapter of the prior year, you can move on to the future. Start with a clean slate, and create what you want in the following year. Anything goes: it's your future. Don't worry if the goals seem too lofty--with deliberate planning and execution, anything is possible.Read More

Four nationally-renowned storytellers keep us laughing all weekend at Epworth By The Sea. Come if you need a good laugh or time away to relax.
This year's featured storytellers are:
Kevin Kling: "Lightning Struck, Freight Train Hopping Hilarious Fellow"
Kevin Kling is a playwright and storyteller and has recently won a regional Emmy award. He is best known for his popular commentaries on NPR's All Things Considered and his storytelling stage shows deliver hilarious, often tender stories. Kling 's autobiographical tales are as enchanting as they are true to life: hopping freight trains, getting hit by lightning, performing his banned play in Czechoslovakia, growing up in Minnesota and eating things before knowing what they are. He has been awarded numerous arts grants and fellowships. The National Endowment for the Arts, The McKnight, Bush and Jerome Foundations, The Minnesota State Arts Board and others have recognized Kling's artistry.
Donald Davis: "The Dean of Storytelling"
"I didn't learn stories, I just absorbed them."
Former Chairperson of the Board of Directors for the National Storytelling Association; featured teller at the Smithsonian Institution, the World's Fair, festivals and concerts throughout the Uni ted States and the world; a prolific author and producer of books and tapes of his works; a master teacher of workshops and storytelling courses; a guest host for the NPR Program "Good Evening;" Davis is a retired United Methodist minister. He has recorded 25 storytelling albums and written several books based on his stories.
Kim Weitkamp : "The Lady of Heartfelt Wisdom"
As the redheaded child of exhausted parents, Kim grew up enjoying the role of middle child. Allowed to roam free in the heart of Amish country, her imagination was ripened by a life lived outdoors. Now she enjoys the role of being one of the most sought after storytellers in the country. In her work as a humorist, storyteller, singer and songwriter, she has taken home numerous awards and recognition including the Leadership in Communication Award from Toastmasters International and the Blue Ridge Excellence in Arts Award. Her audio A Wandering Mind is a recent Storytelling Award Winner. Her material is played regularly on NPR.
Andy Offutt Irwin: "The Man is an Outer-Kid"
Some people ha ve inner-k ids. Andy has an outer-kid. With a manic Silly Putty voice, astonishing mouth noises and hilarious stories, he is equal parts mischievous schoolboy and the Marx Brothers, peppered with a touch of the Southern balladeer. People are drawn to him like magnets to a refrigerator. And inside, it's all Mountain Dew and Jolt Cola. Andy is a storyteller, humorist, singer, songwriter, musician, whistler, walking menagerie of sound effects and dialects, and so much more; some of his talents are hard to categorize. Honors include the 2013 National Storytelling Network's Circle of Excellence Award. Appearances include the National Storytelling Festival, International Storytelling Center and Guest Artist at the "FAME" School, Disney World, the "Southern Comedy Tour," Oxford College, and, of course, his one-man show.

Greer will be extradited back to Harris County to face arraignment on the murder charge.

How to Use the Right Lingo to Show You're No Chump: Vegas Speak Defined
Right there you just got your first lesson in Vegas speak, and you didn't even know it. If you did, then you're already not a chump and you can go ahead and skip this article. A chump in Vegas is someone new to the game, not a pro, someone to take advantage of. Make sure your opponents don't make you for a square (Hee hee, got another one in there) by learning some important gambling and casino lingo.
Square, Public, Tourist, Fish: All mean the exact same thing, and are all right up down there with being called a chump. If you overhear someone calling you one of these terms, then the gig is up and you may as well grab your drink and head back to the slot machines where you belong.
High Rollers, Wise Guys, and Whales: These are the guys putting down big bucks on the tables. They are usually hard to spot through the thick line-up of bodyguards and babes, one of which is protecting his bankroll.
Bankroll: How much money a casino or gambler has to play with. Don't have much? Then consider yourself a low roller.
Low Rollers, Grinders: The polar opposite of a Whale. These are the gamblers holding their chips close to their chest and only playing one green chip at a time.
Green Chips, Greens, Greenies: A $25 chip being played on every table in grind joints.
Grind Joint, Sawdust Joint: Those casinos that cater to low rollers. Think of the old school Vegas casinos.
Black: A $100 casino check.
Check: What cool gamblers call a chip.
That's the basics, now on to some gambling lingo.
Stickman: That's the guy with the hook taking your greenies off the craps table.
Shooter: Should be you, blowing on the dice before rolling a Boxcar.
Boxcars: Double sixes in craps. Booya baby!
Boxman: The guy on top of the drop box at the craps table. He's watching for pastposting.
Pastposting: Cheating. Throwing down or taking back a check after the roll is done.
Drop Box: The locked box at each gambling table where paper money is deposited.
Shoe: That's the box holding the decks of cards for Blackjack or Baccarat. Keeps the dealer honest.
Rack: Yeah that showgirl had a nice one, but in Vegas this is what holds the chips on the tables.
Croupier: The guy in charge of dropping the little ball onto the roulette wheel. He gets to take all your chips too.
Hit Me: The cool way to say give me another card in Blackjack. You'll look even cooler if you tap the table when you say it. Just don't be a turkey and start banging on it.
Turkey: That guy over there being rude to the dealer. Don't let that be you. Turkey's are only good at Thanksgiving!
Steamer, Pigeon, Plunger: This is a gambler who is chasing his losses. You know, that guy spending all his time pulling money out. The only place to guarantee your winning is at the ATM machine!
Stiff: No, not that guy passed out on the craps table. This is someone who despite winning big never gives up a toke.
Toke: This has nothing to do with what the valet is doing out back. Toke is Vegas speak for a tip. Like a token of my gratitude. The drinks may be free, but you should still throw a check to the pretty lady bringing them to you.
George: The opposite of a stiff. That's why his drink is always full. VEGASTER TIP: Toke big early.
Eye in the Sky: Tess spoke the truth, there's always someone watching, so behave yourself or you may just get 86'd.
86'd: That's what you get for acting a fool inside a casino. May as well go find yourself a honey and a Marryin' Sam 'cause your night of gambling is over.
Marryin' Sam: That guy in the Elvis suit reciting wedding vows to those two chumps who just met.

Sir John Barbirolli, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. EMI Japan TOCE-91071.
The Finale to Mahler's Ninth Symphony, the Adagio, is quite possibly the most beautiful piece of music ever written. If that statement seems too bold for you, let me lessen it slightly by saying the Adagio is certainly among the most beautiful pieces ever written. There, now; we both feel better. In any case, Sir John Barbirolli's interpretation of the Symphony No. 9 has been around for quite a while, since 1964, in fact, and it has successfully weathered the test of time. Like the music, it is sublime.
I also prize two other Mahler Ninth Symphony recordings: one from Bernard Haitink and the Concertgebouw (Philips) and one from Otto Klemperer and the Philharmonia (EMI), but Barbirolli is first on my list, perhaps a shade more idiosyncratic than Haitink if not so long breathed and serene. In my estimation, Barbirolli, Haitink, and Klemperer surpass all other versions, even the highly regarded ones by Karajan (DG), Abbado (DG), Giulini (DG), Bernstein (Sony or DG), Walter (Sony), and Kubelik (DG), offering more in the way of human feeling, with fewer of the grand gestures.
Anyway, Barbirolli so loved the Finale, he asked to record it out of sequence so that his performers could deal with it in the evening rather than in the morning when EMI and the Berlin orchestra originally scheduled it. "You can't expect people to perform that sort of music in morning. It must be done in the evening when they're in the right mood," he explained. It was his first, and to my knowledge only, recording with the Berlin Philharmonic, with whom he maintained a long and happy relationship in the concert hall if not in the studio.
This 2010 release of the Mahler Ninth from EMI Japan is actually about the forth or fifth incarnation of the recording I've owned. There was the EMI vinyl LP years ago; then the CD's, one that I remember in EMI's "Great Recordings of the Century" series; then an EMI Japan remastering; and now the EMI Japan HQ (Hi Quality CD) reissue. The newest sound surpasses almost anything recorded today, and the Ninth is smoother than ever, with no apparent loss of sparkle. For a recording of its age (or for any age), it's excellent, projecting a realistic sonic presence, a reasonably wide stage width at a moderate miking distance, and more than acceptable depth, dynamics, and ambiance to make the experience appear natural. Best of all, it displays a remarkable transparency, and EMI accommodates it on a single disc. It's one of my Desert Island Favorites for good reason.
Now, I know what you're asking: How does one obtain the EMI Japan edition of the recording, how much does it cost, and is it really worth the trouble? Let's take those concerns in reverse order.
First, the worth of any recording is up to the individual. If you're an audiophile and want the absolute best sound, you may be willing to pay extra for it. Yes, I have found the sound of the EMI Japanese remasterings better--clearer, smoother, and more dynamic, especially the HQ editions--than their already excellent EMI English counterparts. So, for me, going the extra mile to get them is worth it. But I'm crazy, so who's to say it would be worth it to you?
Second, the cost of the Japanese product is not really that expensive in and of itself, on average about 1,300 yen each, or about $15.00 American dollars, depending on the exchange rate at any given time. But it's the postage that kills you. There are only a few places in America that sell EMI Japan classical imports, and they are usually out of stock on anything you may actually want. Therefore, I have mostly ordered directly from Japan, where the postage is high, about $24.00 a shipment, so I'd advise not buying just one disc; buy six or eight at a time, pay the 24 bucks, and get your money's worth. If you do it that way, say six discs per order, each disc is about $21, with no tax. That's still only a little more than you'd pay for a full-price disc in America, when you add in any applicable tax or shipping.
Finally, where to get EMI Japan products:
In America, there is Import CDs, which you probably should try first. Unfortunately, as I've said, they are often out of stock on popular Japanese import items: http://www.importcds.com
In Japan, you can try HMV Online, which is where I usually shop: http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/index.asp
Or Amazon Japan: http://www.amazon.co.jp
Mahler: Symphony No. 9 (HQCD review)

John J. Puccio, Editor, Publisher, Reviewer
Understand, I'm just an everyday guy reacting to something I love. And I've been doing it for a very long time, my appreciation for classical music starting with the musical excerpts on The Big John and Sparkie radio show in the early Fifties and the purchase of my first recording, The 101 Strings Play the Classics, around 1956. In the late Sixties I began teaching high school English and Film Studies as well as becoming interested in hi-fi, my audio ambitions graduating me from a pair of AR-3 speakers to the Fulton J's recommended by The Stereophile's J. Gordon Holt. In the early Seventies, I began writing for a number of audio magazines, including Audio Excellence, Audio Forum, The Boston Audio Society Speaker, The American Record Guide, and from 1976 until 2008, The $ensible Sound, for which I served as Classical Music Editor.
Today, I'm retired from teaching and use a pair of bi-amped VMPS RM40s loudspeakers for my listening. In addition to writing the Classical Candor blog, I served as the Movie Review Editor for the Web site Movie Metropolis (formerly DVDTown) from 1997-2013. Music and movies. Life couldn't be better.
Karl W. Nehring, Contributing Reviewer
For more than 20 years I was the editor ofThe $ensible Soundmagazine and a regular contributor to its classical review pages. I would not presume to present myself as some sort of expert on music, but I have a deep love for and appreciation of many types of music, "classical" especially, and have listened to thousands of recordings over the years, many of which still line the walls of my listening room (and occasionally spill onto the furniture and floor, much to the chagrin of my long-suffering wife). I have always taken the approach as a reviewer that what I am trying to do is simply to point out to readers that I have come across a recording that I have found of interest, a recording that I think they might appreciate my having pointed out to them. I suppose that sounds a bit simple-minded, but I know I appreciate reading reviews by others that do the same for me -- point out recordings that I think I might enjoy.
For readers who might be wondering about what kind of system I am using to do my listening, I should probably point out that I do a LOT of music listening and employ a variety of means to do so in a variety of environments, as I would imagine many music lovers also do. Starting at the more grandiose end of the scale, the system in which I do my most serious listening comprises an Onkyo C-7030 CD player, Legacy Audio StreamLine preamplifier, Legacy Audio PowerBloc2 amplifier, and a pair of Legacy Audio Focus SE speakers augmented by a Legacy Point One subwoofer. I also do a lot of listening while driving in my 2016 Acura RDX with its nice-sounding ELS Studio sound system through which I play CDs (the ones I especially like I rip to the Acura's hard drive so that I can listen to them whenever I want) or stream music through the system using my LG G7 ThinQ cell phone, which features surprisingly sophisticated audio circuitry. For more casual listening at home when I am not in my listening room, I often stream music through the phone into a Vizio soundbar system that has remarkably nice sound for such a diminutive physical presence. And finally, at the least grandiose end of the scale, I have an Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Bluetooth speaker for those occasions where I am somewhere by myself without a sound system but in desperate need of a musical fix. I just can't imagine life without music and I am humbly grateful for the technology that enables us to enjoy it in so many wonderful ways.
Bryan Geyer, Technical Analyst
I initially embraced classical music in 1954 when I mistuned my car radio and heard the Heifetz recording of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto. That inspired me to board the new "hi-fi" DIY bandwagon. In 1957 I joined one of the pioneer semiconductor makers and spent the next 32 years marketing transistors and microcircuits to military contractors. Home audio DIY projects remained a personal passion until 1989 when we created our own new photography equipment company. I later (2012) revived my interest in two channel audio when we "downsized" our life and determined that mini-monitors + paired subwoofers were a great way to mate fine music with the space constraints of condo living.
Visitors that view my technical papers on this site may wonder why they appear here, rather than on a site that features audio equipment reviews. My reason is that I tried the latter, and prefer to publish for people who actually want to listen to music; not to equipment. My focus is in describing what's technically beneficial to assure that the sound of the system will accurately replicate the source input signal (i. e. exhibit high accuracy) without inordinate cost and complexity. Conversely, most of the audiophiles of today strive to achieve sound that's euphonic, i.e. be personally satisfying. In essence, audiophiles seek sound that's consistent with their desire; the music is simply a test signal.
Mission Statement
It is the goal of Classical Candor to promote the enjoyment of classical music. Other forms of music come and go--minuets, waltzes, ragtime, blues, jazz, bebop, country-western, rock-'n'-roll, heavy metal, rap, and the rest--but classical music has been around for hundreds of years and will continue to be around for hundreds more. It's no accident that every major city in the world has one or more symphony orchestras.
When I was young, I heard it said that only intellectuals could appreciate classical music, that it required dedicated concentration to appreciate. Nonsense. I'm no intellectual, and I've always loved classical music. Anyone who's ever seen and enjoyed Disney's Fantasia or a Looney Tunes cartoon playing Rossini's William Tell Overture or Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 can attest to the power and joy of classical music, and that's just about everybody.
So, if Classical Candor can expand one's awareness of classical music and bring more joy to one's life, more power to it. It's done its job. --John J. Puccio

Got gas, lots
A breathtaking new estimate about the vast natural gas reserves of the Marcellus Shale region suggests that Western Pennsylvania is overflowing with untapped riches. The future could be dazzling.
Terry Engelder, Pennsylvania State University professor and nationally known authority on the topic, said last week at a conference in Pittsburgh that this region, and the bordering states sitting atop the Marcellus Shale, could hold much more than his initial estimates of recoverable natural gas.
Early this year, he and another expert estimated that 10 percent of a total 516 trillion cubic feet might be recovered.
Mr. Engelder now thinks the entire 31-million-acre region might hold 4,359 trillion cubic feet. If just 30 percent could be recovered, that would be 1,307 trillion cubic feet from the region.
And even if some Marcellus acreage doesn't contain gas, a conservative estimate suggests that 392 trillion cubic feet still could be tapped. That would be more than 13 times the 30 trillion cubic feet produced each year in the United States.
Man has a responsibility to respect Mother Nature while using this rich bounty to help make life better for all. State-of-the-art commonsense methods of freeing the clear gold could lead to a green Golden Age for the region, the commonwealth and the republic.
Give thanks for another of God's blessings.

The Friends of Lake Panorama board of directors met July 21, 2014, with much of the discussion focused on potential projects for a fundraising campaign. Board members are considering several options, with its first campaign this fall raising money for targeted projects on both the west and east sides of Lake Panorama.
The Friends of Lake Panorama is a public charity organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes, and is completely separate from the Lake Panorama Association and Lake Panorama National.
A July 2 letter from the IRS stated Friends of Lake Panorama is exempt from federal income tax, and contributions to the public charity are deductible under federal law. The letter also stated the group is qualified to receive "tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts."
The Friends of Lake Panorama board of directors includes Kirk Fischer, Bob McCleeary, Jan Reinicke, James Spradling, Tricia Steffen, Kent Stephenson and Jodi Sutton. Susan Thompson is assisting the group.
The board's emphasis is on improving existing facilities, and developing new recreational amenities to benefit the Lake Panorama community.
At its July 21 meeting, the board formed two subcommittees. James Spradling agreed to chair the playground/sports court committee, with Jodi Sutton chairing the giving levels/recognition subcommittee.
The board approved taking over responsibility for the LPN teebox sponsorship program. It began in 2008 to raise money for the construction of Spikes, the restroom and snack facility located on the golf course. As initial contracts expire, sponsors can keep their signs in place at an annual cost of $500. Since Spikes was completed, money raised with this program has helped fund two on-course bathrooms, a keg cooler, new flagsticks, distance markers, ball washers and more.
For some businesses, and all individuals, routing funds through the nonprofit Friends of Lake Panorama would be advantageous. As in the past, money raised through the program will be committed to improvements at Lake Panorama National. Current teebox sponsors have received letters explaining the change and asked for ongoing commitments. Once the list of current supporters is final, remaining holes will be offered to new donors.

Click for Lido Golf Club Detailed Page
Pro Shop: 516-889-8181
Built: 1914; Architect: Charles Blair MacdonaldCompletely new design and land: 1948; Architect: Robert Trent Jones
Website: www.lidogolf.com
Description: The original course is now barren land, but across the street from the old site is a real links-style gem situated between the Atlantic Ocean and Reynolds Channel. Designed by Robert Trent Jones in 1948, the current layout has breathtaking views of the water and offers some real wind-swept holes that echo the old design.
With scarcely a tree anywhere, even the inland holes - which are wide-open and feature a dotting of fairway bunkers - can play tough. The holes on the water (nine all together have significant water in play) are no easy task when the wind is dead, and when it's up, are as tough as any links-style in the area. For the most part, the greens are small, elevated and well guarded, with some deep greenside bunkers throughout.
Reader Comments: It's such a great facility, I would want to play it every day ... Changes every time I'm out there, and every time it's a new challenge ... A real "bear" when the wind is blowing ... Some of the best holes on L.I., period ... Wonderful condition the whole year.
Click for Pine Ridge Golf Course Detailed Page
Pro Shop: 631-331-7930
Built: 2005Architects: Ron Forse & Don BachausWebsite: www.pineridgegc.com
Description: Feeling like it was carved out of the Long Island Pine Barrens, this tight layout was a unique addition to the area when built in 2005. With a nice piece of land that had all of the natural terrain and features for a great golf course, the crew here has done a great job since Day 1.
Offering areas of waste bunkers that often rub up and intersect with the high-standing pines, the general ambiance of the course is reminiscent of the Carolinas.
It is a real shotmaker's course, requiring precise drives through pine-framed corridors and the negotiating of immense, subtly breaking greens. There are a lot of places you can get in trouble, both off the tee and around the greens, so precision takes precedence over length. It's always in great condition, making it a fair and stern test of golf.
Reader Comments: A gorgeous go-around. I'd do it again tomorrow. You need to be sharp tee-to-green. Some really great holes out there. A private club experience at daily fee prices.

Meet the Company - Associate Artist, Nicole Cooper/
What We Have Been / What We May Be We're speaking to Nicole Cooper this week, who has been a familiar face at Bard in the Botanics since 2009, playing roles including Rosalind, Viola, Ophelia and Desdemona.
1. When, where and what was your first encounter with Bard in the Botanics?
Shortly after my second daughter was born I had wanted to get back to work and into a rehearsal room and I was lucky enough to get a place as Gordon Barr's assistant on a production of King Lear he was directing with the MA students at RCS. I got to know him and the company and after we had finished Lear, Gordon asked me to audition for the production of Richard III that he would be doing as part of BITB season that year. The rest as they say...
2. Who would you describe as an unsung hero of Bard in the Botanics?
It is definitely the stage management/ production team. They work so hard to make sure the season comes together and are often in the gardens packing up, waterproofing, resetting etc. hours after the show has finished – even if it's pouring!
3. Which individual performance by an actor has made a particularly lasting impression on you (it might be one that you saw, worked with or was in a production you were involved with)?
I'm going to cheat because I have two. Stephen Clyde as Bottom in Midsummer Nights Dream – it was like a comedy masterclass watching Stevie do his thing in that production and I genuinely loved watching – we never knew what he was going to come up with so every night our reactions as the lovers watching the mechanicals were entirely genuine. My other one is Jennifer Dick as Emilia last year in Othello. Her performance in the final scene was heartbreaking. I remember reading the script and thinking what a hard part Emilia was to play. I hated that I only got to see it properly in rehearsals and not on stage in the show – I had to fight the urge to open my eyes and watch every night ( I was a very dead Desdemona at the time!)
4. Of your own work, what is the most fulfilling production you've been a part of?
I have been so lucky to play some of the best characters ever written. I don't think I can single one out because I've had 'moments' with all of them. I think the most fulfilling thing is to feel like you've told that persons story in the most truthful way you can – that you have had a connection with the audience, made them laugh or cry. The fact that we can see our audience in BITB productions means that when you get those moments in a show you can really feel it. I always felt it at the end of As You Like It when I sang Rosalind's farewell song!
5. Which Bard in the Botanics production or performance did you miss that you wish you'd seen?
I wish I had seen Merchant of Venice. Although I know the play, I've never seen it before and its a production that everyone still talks about and remembers fondly.
6. Which costume (of yours or someone else's) would you most like to have worn or is simply your favourite?
Firstly can I just say Carys Hobbs-Sargeant is a miracle worker and every year she creates the most beautiful costumes. I loved my Ophelia dress and my Rosalind/Ganymede costumes. And I usually have costume envy for Beth Marshall's costumes – she always looks amazing!
7. What is your favourite spot in the Botanics Gardens, known or unknown?
I remember walking into the gardens for my audition for Richard III and I was so nervous. I found a quiet place near the Kibble Palace to sit and focus before I went in and now every time I walk past that spot I remember that moment.
8. Bard in the Botanics has staged 24 of Shakespeare's plays. Which of the titles we haven't yet produced are you most excited about being staged?
I'm looking forward to the extravaganza that will be Love's Labours Lost one day – it has a massive cast with so many different stories going on through it. I'd like to see what Gordon or Jen would do with that! I also love Cymbeline and it would be great to see a production of that play.

Working people probably have less faith in politicians now than ever before. Election turnouts have hit a new low, especially amongst young people. It is harder and harder to tell the difference between the policies of the main parties. The Tories privatised the mainline, Labour privatised the Tube.
So why should we bother with politics? Because it is too important to be to be left to politicians. Political decisions affect our working lives (privatisation, health and safety legislation) and our lives outside work (the health service, pensions, our kids' education, …).
At Tebay last February, four track workers were killed by a runaway trailer from a badly-maintained road-rail vehicle (RRV). At Hednesford in September, two workers were killed riding on a RRV. Other incidents - including at Stockport, Hayle in Cornwall, and Shieldmuir near Motherwell - have seen injuries or near misses. These 'accidents' will inevitably be followed by others as long as the engineering companies are allowed to put profit before lives.
Profit before safety
EWS is on a crusade to introduce a new driver restructuring initiative. Most traincrew will be familiar with these - drivers' pay goes up, but with it comes extra duties, more anti-social hours, worse conditions, and wholesale attacks on other grades.
EWS is touting an offer of £40k + £5k in bonuses for drivers. But that is for a 45-hour week, with drivers taking on rolling stock technicians' duties, train preparation and other work. The train crew Company Council reps - and the drivers - have rejected this.
The Off The Rails quiz
Following the Potters Bar crash, who got £1 million bonuses?
(a) Jarvis' directors?
(b) relatives of the dead?
And who got £10,000 each?
(a) Jarvis' directors?
(b) relatives of the dead?
For which of the following fatal rail crashes has anyone been successfully prosecuted?
(a) Ladbroke Grove?
(b) Hatfield?
(c) Potters Bar?
(d) Selby?
[answer: (d), because they managed to pin it on an ordinary bloke rather than a company]
Off The Rails has a vision of railway trade unionism which we believe would be more effective that what we have now. We have a document which sets this out in detail - a kind of OTR manifesto.
You can read the full version here. If you agree with us, join us in working to make it a reality.
To whet your appetite, here are some extracts ...
Amidst the brutality of occupied Iraq, a new labour movement is growing - independent trade unions, unemployed movements, women's organisations, and working-class political parties.
In oilfields, oil refineries, railways and factories, workers have organised trade unions and won victories by removing Ba'thist managers or improving wages.
Iraq's labour movement has different groups with different views. But all the main groups agree that:
Railway engineering tester Steve Hedley has been sacked - in a case which shows how vulnerable agency staff are.
Several years ago, Steve used to work for GTRM at Euston, but was stitched up and sacked in 1998. Management victimised him because of his effective work as an RMT rep, and a union campaign was unable to win his reinstatement.
RMT's 2004 pay claim for London Underground was for an above-inflation pay rise, a 35-hour week for all staff, and a minimum salary for station assistants of £22,000. The cost of living in London is soaring, and our demand for shorter working hours has been outstanding for years. Management reckoned they "couldn't afford" the claim, but they could afford to discuss it in a posh hotel. And while there is "no money" for us, there is enough money to give Bob Kiley up to £½million per year and a £2m house!
Honest John here, proud of my working-class roots, even more proud of my posh cars.
Years ago, I used to bang on about renationalising the railway. Won us a few votes, that did, but I always knew it was, erm, impractical, old-fashioned or whatever. Basically, the fat cats wouldn't have it, and who can blame them, eh?

A 'Twist' to the Dating Scene: Ballroom Dancing Classes
Dating has become extremely impersonal with apps like Tinder and Lulu as well as websites like eHarmony and Zoosk. Meeting a potential partner through mutual friends, blind dates, or even speed dating isn't common anymore, but why should we sacrifice personal interactions for screen time? Wouldn't getting to know someone on a deeper level face to face interest you, especially knowing women prefer men who are present, kind, and confident? The question to ask yourself is: how can I gain all of these qualities and still meet women in person? Well, we've got the answer for you, and you'll be quite surprised to find that ballroom dancing classes offer all of this and more!
There's Always More Women Than Men
Most men just simply don't want to take ballroom dancing lessons, so there are always women who need a partner. This is perfect for those who are single, since whoever you partner with is sure to at least be able to give you pointers, both on the floor and off. Women love men who take the lead without being overbearing and demanding, which is exactly what ballroom dancing teaches. You'll have the opportunity to meet new people face to face and get to know each person's personality, likes, dislikes, and other hobbies. Who knows, you might even make a friend or meet a potential wife.
Learn to be Confident, Not Cocky
Ballroom dancing is all about confidence, but there's a huge difference between confidence and cockiness. Women can't stand it when men are so sure of themselves that they won't ask for directions, admit when they are wrong, or give as much as they take. With ballroom dancing lessons, you'll learn humility and confidence go hand in hand. Leading on the dance floor requires a subtle push and pull between both partners; it's all about listening to your partner and feeling her cues through her body language. Make no mistake, you'll need these attributes to ensure any relationship lasts.
Get Sensual and Learn the Art of Body Language
Taking lessons in ballroom dancing gives you the opportunity to get a "preview" of your partner. As you dance together more and more, you'll learn things about her no amount of conversations, dinners, or nights out ever could reveal. Her unique body language will tell you everything you need to know about her personality and character before either of you go on a date. The gentle touch of a hand, the way her hips sway, and each step of her feet will bring you closer together as people.
With so many benefits to be gained from ballroom dancing classes, there's no need for those dating apps and websites. Not to mention, you'll love stepping out on the dance floor and astounding your friends in clubs or at weddings. Stop swiping right or waiting for your message to be read, contact Quick Quick Slow Ballroom Dance Studio now to sign-up for dancing classes that are sure to turn your dating life around.

Bourke Street Bakery & Alex Retief's Micro Winery
Last night, I had the pleasure of joining a crowd of food and wine enthusiasts at Bourke Street Bakery in Sydney's Potts Point. The event marked the official bottling of Alex Retief's wine following his collaboration with David McGuinness of Bourke Street Bakery to establish Potts Point's only micro winery. Guests enjoyed an overflow of wonderful wines, freshly shucked oysters, along with a generous array of bakery canapés.
The bakery setting made this event exactly what a midweek foodie gathering should be; relaxed, warm and completely enjoyable. Now that the wine has been bottled to the last drop, they'll be available for purchase through Alex's website aretief.com.au

Trio of Indian lenders win Malaysian bank licence1 min read . Updated: 16 Apr 2010, 11:07 PM IST
Malaysia will grant a commercial banking licence to a trio of Indian lenders as it gradually opens up its finance sector to more international competition.
A single permit will be issued to a new locally incorporated lender that will be jointly set up in Malaysia by Bank of Baroda, Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) and Andhra Bank, the country's central bank, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) said in a statement on Friday. The presence of the new Indian commercial bank will further strengthen the economic and financial linkages between Malaysia and India, BNM said.
IOB is returning to Malaysia after the state-linked lender's previous licence was withdrawn because of its government ownership. A requirement prohibited any commercial bank under the effective control of a foreign government from holding a permit.
Malaysia and India have been discussing the issue since 2003, said BNM. IOB will have a 35% stake in the new joint venture, which hasn't been given a name yet. Bank of Baroda will own 40% and Andhra Bank will have a 25% stake, it said.
The central bank views this as a reinstatement of a licence. As such, it's not part of the quota of new licences to be granted to foreign lenders. The southeast Asian nation will give as many as nine new financial-services licences to overseas firms, Prime Minister Najib Razak said in April 2009.
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd was the first overseas firm to be awarded a Malaysian bank licence in nine years when it was granted a permit in November. As it was under a special bilateral agreement with Beijing, it was also not part of the quota.
Stephanie Phang in Singapore also contributed to this story.

Gday everybody.
I understand it truly non a interrelated enquiry, but does someone know what model of software this [url=http://80music.org]80's music[/url] site is applying? .
I desired to open up a site just in the form of that, but I don't know how to handle it...
thank you,

I needed to draft you this little bit of observation to help say thanks a lot once again with your splendid ideas you have shown on this page. It was really pretty generous with people like you in giving unreservedly what exactly a few individuals could have offered for sale as an electronic book to get some dough for themselves, and in particular now that you might have done it if you desired. Those techniques as well worked to be the good way to be certain that the rest have the same passion really like my very own to find out lots more when it comes to this issue. Certainly there are some more fun periods ahead for people who looked at your forum.

Tomato chutney is a quick breakfast accompaniment for idly, dosa, bread or chapathi. Tomatoes are juicy and delicious that can be eaten raw in salads and sandwiches. Tomato though used as a vegetable they are actually a citrus fruit. The lycopene in tomato reduces cholesterol and improves heart health. Tomatoes are high in water content and helps eliminate toxins, excess water, salt and fat.
Tomato – 1
Garlic – 2 cloves
Chilli powder – 1/2 tsp
Take all the above ingredients in a mixer grinder and make a fine paste.
In a Kadai heat oil and add in the mustard seeds.
Now add the paste and sauté for a while, water can be added if the consistency has to be changed.
Allow it to cook until all the raw flavour is gone and the tomato is well cooked.
Tomato chutney can be quickly done as the idly is getting steamed or while making the dosa.
