Zero-Max's New CD® Coupling Sizing & Selection Software Has 3D CAD Models.
Now containing 3D CAD models, this new Zero-Max software provides the ideal component recommendation for a given set of operating requirements. Software users are guided through a few easy steps at their computer to select the right Zero-Max CD coupling. They enter coupling RPM needed, peak torque, angular, axial and parallel misalignment, service factor and the shaft sizes.
The program then gives the recommended coupling model in the appropriate size, showing all operating parameters for that particular coupling. Data such as torsional and axial stiffness, moment of inertia, maximum speed, operating torque and maximum allowable angular, axial and parallel misalignment are shown along with 3D drawings.
The software is available FREE for all Zero-Max CD coupling models that are designed for cyclic applications where speed and repeatable accuracy are critical in 24/7 environments, and for Zero-Max Servo Class high misalignment servomotor couplings.

Admission to Geosea Geothermal Baths in Husavik
Take a unique and revitalising dip into the Geosea sea baths in Húsavík. This opportunity should not be missed by any travellers to north Iceland seeking refreshment and tranquillity.
The Geosea sea baths are like few other geothermal pools in Iceland; the water that fills them is naturally heated seawater rather than freshwater bubbling up from the depths of the earth. It emerges at around 38 to 39 degrees Celsius, making it the perfect temperature for bathing.
The waters in the pools are rich in minerals, which are said to have particular benefits for those with skin conditions such as psoriasis. The constant flow of water through the drill holes mean that no chemicals need to be added, allowing you to feel the healing effects of nature wash over you.
Located in the town of Húsavík, the pools are very easily accessible; many visitors to the region will arrive at this settlement anyway, as it is on the popular sightseeing route the Diamond Circle and renowned for its incredible whale-watching. In fact, many regard Húsavík as the whale-watching capital of Europe.
The sea baths look out to Skjálfandi bay, which Húsavík is nestled in so that you can enjoy your luxurious soak while marvelling over the towering peaks and glistening ocean. These views stretch right out towards the Arctic Circle and if you are lucky, you might spot a whale swimming in the North Atlantic Ocean.
The Geosea sea baths have a restaurant where you can enjoy pastries, the Icelandic delicacy of Skyr, soup, and sandwiches made of bread baked by the heat of the hot springs. The restaurant also serves hot drinks, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, and has a terrace that is open in summer.
Do not miss this unique opportunity to bask in geothermally heated sea baths while marvelling over the beautiful nature of the North. Check availability by choosing a date.
Quick facts
- Available: All year
- Duration: 1 hour
- Activities: Hot Spring Bathing
- Difficulty: Easy
- Languages: English
- Attractions: North Iceland,
North Iceland is a beautiful region, hosting some of the best attractions on the island.
Home to the Lake Mývatn region, the town of Akureyri (otherwise known as the 'Capital of the North'), the whale-watching hot-spot of Húsavík and the northern parts of Vatnajökull National Park, the North attracts visitors throughout the year.
It is divided by fjords and mountain ranges into many beautiful regions.
Within the bay of Eyjafjörður is Akureyri, a town of 17,000 inhabitants. It is the largest settlement outside of the Greater Reykjavík Area.
It is easy to reach via the Ring Road, and many cruise ships land in the port of the town.
The older part of Akureyri is particularly worth a stroll, as it contains many historic buildings. The town is also home to many interesting museums, galleries, and the world's northernmost botanical gardens.
If you like skiing or snowboarding, one of the best skiing sites in the country is located nearby.
Siglufjörður straddles the border of Eyjafjörður and Skagafjörður and is most famously home to a charming settlement of the same name.
Other than its natural beauty, with huge cliffs bordering the town, Siglufjörður is renowned for its fascinating museums.
There is a folk music museum, which comes alive during an annual festival, and the Herring Era Museum. The latter is the only Icelandic museum to win an international award and is much more interesting than it sounds; it explains how Iceland managed to survive a millennium in such harsh climes by relying on the seas.
The Vatnsnes Peninsula
The Vatnsnes Peninsula gets its fame for two reasons. Firstly, it is the best seal-watching location in the whole country, with colonies hauling out throughout the year. In the town of Hvammstangi, you can visit the Icelandic Seal Centre to learn more about these animals.
It is also famous for hosting the coastal rock formation of Hvítserkur. This bizarre feature is said to be a troll frozen by the light of the morning sun, but to most, it appears to be more like an elephant drinking from the ocean.
Þingeyjarsýsla county is home to many incredible sites, particularly due to the fact that the Lake Mývatn region is nestled within it. This beautiful area is renowned for its lava formations, pseudocraters and rich birdlife.
Near Mývatn is the impressive lava field Dimmuborgir, which was featured in the Game of Thrones series. There is also the incredible waterfall Goðafoss, a beautiful feature between Lake Mývatn itself and Akureyri.
Húsavík is a nearby town, considered the whale watching capital of Europe. In summer, many operators see Humpback Whales every time they leave the port.
The Jökulsárgljúfur Canyon is home to some of Iceland's most beloved natural attractions; the river Jökulsá á Fjöllum runs through it and holds several waterfalls including Europe's most powerful, Dettifoss. Nearby to here is the spectacular, horseshoe-shaped Ásbyrgi canyon.
Far north, straddling the Arctic Circle is Grímsey island, the northernmost inhabited territory of Iceland, with a population of about 100 people. It is renowned for its fishing, its rich vegetation and birdlife, particularly puffins.Húsavík,
Húsavík, by Skjálfandi Bay in North Iceland, is a town of just over two thousand people. It is considered to be one of the best places in Europe for whale watching in the summer.
Whale Watching in Husavik
Húsavík is often nicknamed the whale watching capital of Europe, due to the fact that throughout the vast majority of summers, tour operators have 100% sighting rates.
Humpback Whales are the most common species in Skjálfandi Bay. These gentle giants are renowned for being possibly the most entertaining of the great whales to observe, due to the fact they always show their tail before a dive, and exhibit many other behaviours at the surface, such as breaching and fin slapping.
Other animals that reside within the bay include White Beaked Dolphins and Harbour Porpoises. It is not at all unheard of, however, for Fin and Blue Whales to be seen, nor Orcas or Belugas.
Many whale watching tours also include a puffin-watching component.
Other Activities in Husavik
Húsavík is home to the Húsavíkurkirkja church, a beautiful wooden structure built in 1907 and the civic museum for culture and biology, which amongst other things features a stuffed polar bear and ancient boats, bearing witness to the history of seafaring in Iceland.
There is also an Exploration Museum on the spirit of discovery, from early explorations to space missions.
Near to Húsavík is the Lake Mývatn area, a place of diverse, natural beauty, with a wealth of geological features. It is also close to the capital of the North, Akureyri.
In Húsavík you'll also find cute cafés and restaurants offering tasty treats, and you'll have a gorgeous view over the Skjálfandi Bay. There is a wealth of accommodation options available, from nice hotels to cabins and hostels.
History of Husavik
Húsavík means 'the Bay of Houses', as according to legend, it was settled before the official 'settlement date' of 874 AD.
Garðar Svavarsson was a Swede who wintered in Iceland in 870 AD. According to legend and Sagas, he left a man called Náttfari and two slaves to tend a farm here. It is said that the town was named after their houses.Diamond Circle
The Diamond Circle is a famed 260 kilometre (162 mile) sightseeing route in the northeast of Iceland, characterised by its sheer number of natural attractions, picturesque settlements and fantastic landscapes.
The Diamond Circle is available for those who wish to drive the route themselves, as well as those who would prefer to partake in a guided tour of the region.
It is considered the northeastern alternative to the popular Golden Circle sightseeing route, which is reached by travelling for forty minutes from Iceland's capital, Reykjavík, and comprised of the three major sites Þingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Valley and Gullfoss Waterfall.
The route's four main attractions are Lake Mývatn, Europe's most powerful waterfall, Dettifoss, the horseshoe-shaped canyon, Ásbyrgi and the fishing town of Húsavík, known primarily for its fantastic whale watching opportunities.
Lake Mývatn
Lake Mývatn is one of the most popular sites of the north; it is a favourite location for birdwatchers in particular, who can see dozens of species year round.
The lake area is also known for its flora, being home to rare moss balls and many wildflowers, and its geology. This takes the form of basalt pillars rising from the waters, pseudocraters surrounding them, and the lava fortress of Dimmuborgir.
Dimmuborgir is a dramatic and beautiful location, used as a setting for the Game of Thrones franchise. In folklore, it is said to be home to the thirteen Icelandic Yule Lads
Dettifoss is the most powerful waterfall in Europe, found in the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river in the Jökulsárgljúfur Canyon, which is part of the great Vatnajökull National Park. It is 40 metres (131 feet) tall and over 100 metres (328 feet) wide.
Dettifoss is one of three waterfalls in the river; Selfoss is just a little upstream, while Hafragilsfoss is downriver.
The horseshoe shaped canyon of Ásbyrgi is so perfectly formed that one could be forgiven for thinking it has divine origins. This is, in fact, what old Icelanders used to believe; according to legend, it was created when one of the hoofs of the eight-legged horse of the god Oðin made contact with the earth.
The land within the canyon is well-forested, due to the shelter that the sheer cliffs provide.
Húsavík is often nicknamed 'the whale-watching capital of Europe', due to the wealth of life in its waters. Most tour operators boast 100 percent sighting rates on their tours throughout summer, with the most common species being humpback whales and white-beaked dolphins.
Over twenty species of cetacean, however, are found in Iceland's waters, and there is a chance of seeing any of them, depending on the time of year, from the town. Blue whales, for example, have been seen in summer, and some rather lost Narwhals and Belugas have been seen in winter.
Other Sites
Other sites on the Diamond Circle include the likes of Goðafoss Waterfall, Æðafossar ("Eider Falls"), Hljóðaklettar ("Echo rocks" or "The Whispering Cliffs") and Laugar swimming pool.
Do note, however, that not all tour operators travel to each of these attractions. If you are looking to visit each location individually, with nothing missed, it is recommended to drive the sightseeing route yourself.
Departure time : 12:00. 12:30, 13:00, 13:30, 14:00, 14:30, 15:00, 15:30, 16:00, 16:30, 17:00, 17:30, 18:00, 18:30, 19:00, 19:30, 20:00, 20:30, 21:00, 21:30,
Please be at the tour start location in good time before departure.

The training courses are presented through lectures and on-the-ground field experience for professionals working with rivers and their watersheds. The overall intent is to develop a unique expertise through shared data, applied methodologies, and project experiences to help meet the current challenges facing today's scientists. The course offerings allow individuals to progress through a range of interrelated courses beginning with the fundamentals in Basic Survey Skills and Applied Fluvial Geomorphology (Level I) and continuing through the more complex River Restoration & Natural Channel Design (Level IV).
Course Participants – The short courses are designed for hydrologists, engineers, fisheries biologists, range management specialists, water resource planners, and other specialists involved in water resource management and research, aquatic habitat assessment and improvement, river and water quality determination, cumulative impact assessment, TMDL's, evaluation of riparian ecosystems, and watershed analysis. Individuals working with urban, agricultural, and wildland watersheds also attend these courses.
Course Locations – The courses are held at various locations; travel, lodging, and conference center information will be sent to registered students.
2019/2020 Short Course Schedule – Wildland Hydrology is pleased to announce the availability of short courses for 2020. The course fees include tuition and materials (no meals or lodging). Please note that all classes require general knowledge of surveying; if you have no field experience, we recommend the Basic Survey Skills course.
This introductory course is designed for students with limited or no experience using surveying equipment in the field to collect data for stream related projects and used in the Level I, Applied Fluvial Geomorphology Course. Students will be introduced to the various types of surveying equipment used in the course, learn to use auto and laser levels, learn to take basic survey notes used in cross sections and longitudinal profiles. Students will begin with an introduction to the equipment and review field data collection protocols in the classroom. Field exercises will be incorporated into the course to allow students to use the equipment and work with Instructors to learn level surveying techniques. The participants will collect cross section and longitudinal profile data and instructors will lead the class through plotting the data. A combination of both lecture and field applications are provided.
The Basic Survey Skills course familiarizes students with the fundamentals of surveying, which are required as a prerequisite for the Level I. Applied Fluvial Geomorphology course.
The Applied Fluvial Geomorphology course combines lecture and field applications to familiarize students with the fundamentals of river behavior and the general principles of fluvial geomorphology. Applications of these principles are presented using a stream classification system.
The River Morphology & Applications course trains students to conduct a geomorphic characterization and delineate stream types using the stream classification method as published in Applied River Morphology (Rosgen, 1996)
The River Assessment & Monitoring course includes "hands-on" techniques for field measurements, data analysis and interpretations, and the use of replicate studies for verification and time-trend analysis.
Natural channel design principles are utilized in this "hands-on" course that provides training in river restoration, stabilization, and aquatic habitat enhancement. The complexities involved in natural channel processes require detailed study and a working knowledge of the principles applied in river design; thus the three prerequisite courses help prepare the participants for this advanced river design course.

Hi forum:
One of my SB Booms has recently began to have intermittent screen blanking issues. In the course of looking into this (and discovering directions for replacing the screen that I hope will help me if my soldering skills are still good enough :-/) I have discovered that I would have been wiser to set my Booms and SB2s to turn the VFD screens off when not in use.
While I know my SB Touch uses different display technology, I'm left wondering whether it might have similar issues in the long term. This has led me to notice that the SB Server Player Settings screen for the SB Touch do not provide any control of the screen saver, though this can be set on the Touch itself. Why is this?

As it's a LCD with backlight the touch doesn't suffer the same fate. They will go, but probably you will find the backlight starts to flicker when it's not at full brightness first.
I don't hear of many touch with bad screens though, so I choose not to worry about it myself. I leave them on with a clock showing 24x7 when not in use.
As for why some things are configured in LMS and some not, I think this reflects the relative sophistication of the SBT Vs the older devices. It is a lot more autonomous.

On a related topic I find that after an LMS restart the backlight of the touch will remain on even though I have my screen saver set to "Screen off". If I then touch the screen it will turn off completely after the time delay. The Duet Controller has a similar issue but it happens at other times as well.

My confidence level rises when I know (really know) why I am doing something. If you are starting a new venture in your life, a new home business, a new health and wellness program, a new way of shopping green, figure out why. Your real reason. When things get difficult (and they will), keep going back to that. mlr
Tag Archives: Why?
On Purpose
Let's live our lives on purpose. Let's know the reasons we do things and the reasons we want things. That becomes the "why" of how we live our lives. When we do this, it helps us to think more clearly about our everyday activities and the roads we take. Our everyday activities are what begin to lay the foundation of our future. Within a decision to start a business that we can do working from the luxury of our own home, change our eating habits to become healthier, change our shopping habits to save money or help the environment, change our reading habits to become a more spiritual person (the list could go on and on, for instance, drinking, cleaning, talking) — within each decision we make, there is a reason (why). Whatever the decision is, it will take some kind of an everyday action to accomplish, so let's make sure our 'why' is strong enough to keep us doing that, because we will need to think about it often. Let's start today. mlr

THE first days of Canberra's 2013 International Music Festival were a bittersweet reminder of why this city has always valued its musical heritage.
For many decades the Australian musical elite would flock to Canberra, hoping to be accepted into the School of Music, the most prestigious conservatorium in the country. And for many decades the public understood exactly why they came – graduates of the Canberra School of Music left the city for Julliard, for the Australian Opera, for the European concert stage.
Music was the jewel in the capital's crown until this time last year, when the university announced that a performance-focused music school would no longer be funded. Since then, musicians have left Canberra in droves – some by necessity, to find work in other cities, and some by choice.
Many stand-out performances of the last few days were given by musicians who will have moved elsewhere by the time of next year's festival. Even this year, the number of out-of-State performers and composers outweighs those from our own city.
Proud Canberrans could not fail to be moved by the massed local choirs of the opening gala concert at Albert Hall, or Louise Page's breathtaking performance of Sculthorpe's "The Great South Land" on Saturday night.
And one might be forgiven a moment of sorrow during the Saint-Saëns on Sunday, noting that our own Max McBride, Vernon Hill and Alan Vivian may not play together many more times.
However, this festival has also planted the seeds of something new and it was heartening to see new Music School director Peter Tregear providing the narration for the Sculthorpe – whatever the university may decide, it is nonetheless clear that Tregear means to bring music back from the ashes in Canberra, and this festival may well help him do that.
Each of the concerts so far has been presented to packed audiences, thunderous applause, standing ovations and, in the case of Sunday's concert, "Carnival of the Animals", even appreciative dancing (by tiny music lovers).
The festival brochure lists a surprising number of local sponsors and benefactors, something more commonly found in visual art rather than music.
The people have spoken – they roared last year when the musicians were fired from the university and they are still roaring today, and every day of this festival.
Music lives on in Canberra and though we may need a little help from neighbouring performers for a while, the rebuilding has undoubtedly begun.
In the meantime, I hope we continue to honour our own local composers and performers while we still have them.

August is not for the faint of stamina. Is it the heat? The empty offices? That long last exhalation of summer's breath?
To celebrate the month's slow mojo, cultural critics of The New York Times are recommending entertainments that can stop the ticking clock for a spell — works that reward a long attention span, a commitment to leisurely pleasure.
This is art that forces you to slow the heck down. Savor it while you can.
Film'Jeanne Dielman': Where the Devil's in the Domestic DetailsChantal Akerman's film gives the viewer three days with a disturbing companion.
The most famous meatloaf in cinema appears three hours into "Jeanne Dielman 23, Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles," a 201-minute leisurely dive into one woman's inner and outer spaces. Radical in its form and politics, "Jeanne Dielman" (1975) was made by the 25-year-old Belgian director Chantal Akerman, who remains better known in academia and on the festival circuit than in the art house. In this film, Ms. Akerman gave an old-fashioned women's picture an avant-garde makeover to create a slow-boiling masterpiece in which time never flies — it scarcely even budges.
The minimalist story involves a Brussels widow (Delphine Seyrig) who lives with her dreary son in a lackluster apartment in which she also turns tricks. For three days, Ms. Akerman more or less has the viewer move in with Jeanne, allowing you to follow this orderly, introverted character as she performs assorted tasks — she buys yarn, drinks coffee, cooks dinner — that most movies omit or gloss over. When Jeanne makes a bed, you see her fold, change and smooth the sheets in real time. Yet, while the spaces and vantage point are intensely intimate, Ms. Akerman's clinical gaze pins Jeanne to the film's flat, boxy planes like a butterfly under glass.
"Jeanne Dielman" is Ms. Akerman's most famous exploration of gendered spaces, which makes it a fascinating counterpoint (or retort) to more traditional sudsy stories in which homey spheres are associated with the warm, comfy, engulfing maternity of womblike rooms, often kitchens. In its emphasis on both space and time, "Jeanne Dielman" owes an obvious debt to Alain Resnais's "Last Year at Marienbad" (1961), a high-modernist classic that also starred Ms. Seyrig and also foregrounds time, making it part of the overall meaning. "Jeanne Dielman" can also be seen as an exemplar of what the British critic Jonathan Romney has amusingly classed as "slow cinema," for work that "downplays event in favor of mood, evocativeness and an intensified sense of temporality."
For the impatient, slow cinema can mean Dullsville, and there's no question that in the hands of incompetent or uninspired filmmakers, long takes are nothing other than mannerist tics. From its first shot to its last, though, "Jeanne Dielman" grips you with its blunt compositions, creeping sense of dread and Ms. Seyrig's exacting, mannequinlike poses and ambiguous deadpan. I think of it as something of a domestic horror movie (it would make a nice, if derrière-numbing, double bill with another 1975 title, "The Stepford Wives"), in which the house and the occupant are equally haunted. Here, after all, a meatloaf isn't just a hunk of meat that Jeanne kneads (and kneads!), smooths and caresses for more than three screen minutes, but also a squishy portent of the deadly touch to come.
TheaterTime Is Fleeting; 'The Flick' Is NotAt three hours, this acclaimed play by Annie Baker doesn't whiz by.
It's a dispiriting truth that the older you get, the faster the months and years reel by. What, another birthday? Christmas again? No thanks, I'd rather wait. So there's something instinctively appealing in escaping from the fierce rush of life by entering into an aesthetic experience that makes time feel like a more malleable, flexible element.
No better or more rewarding example of the fungible nature of theatrical time can be seen than Annie Baker's acclaimed "The Flick." The play, which won a Pulitzer Prize and has been revived at the Barrow Street Theater, made news when it was first produced because its length (three hours) and its pacing (measured, in my sympathetic view) left some patrons feeling annoyed, and its observational style lacked what we normally think of as drama (or at least obvious drama): no clashes of temper, not even a raised voice.
A detailed, sensitive study of the everyday problems of everyday people — in this case three workers at a run-down movie theater in Massachusetts — the play certainly doesn't whiz by. But therein lies a crucial aspect of its subtle appeal; Ms. Baker's deliberate voice recalibrates our equilibrium in ways that draw us closer to her characters, making them not so much larger than life, as in more obviously "theatrical" work, but precisely lifelike. We come to know them at the pace we come to know real people, without the shortcuts playwrights are usually required to make, with the result that their experience moves us almost unconsciously. As with people you truly care about in life, even moments spent in the silent presence of Ms. Baker's characters add layers to our intimacy with them.
Ms. Baker's microrealistic style may not be for everyone, but her plays allow us to shut out the frenzied pace of living in our obsessively digitally connected world and escape to another dimension. It's a dimension where pithiness and pointedness are less significant than the slow, steady accrual of meaning, and a growing appreciation of characters whose lives require close and prolonged examination to reveal their significance and their beauty.
ArtGerhard Richter's 'Six Gray Mirrors,' a Study in ReflectionsLook long enough and the superficially blank starts to feel bogglingly intricate.
What happens if you keep looking at nothing? What happens when you keep pondering the unknowable? Visitors to Dia:Beacon, the expansive museum of postwar, mostly abstract art a little over an hour's drive north of New York City, too often slip past Gerhard Richter's "Six Gray Mirrors" — it's less of a crowd-pleaser than Richard Serra's hulking ellipses or Michael Heizer's Euclidean pits. Yet if you spend long enough with Mr. Richter's impassive glass works, the superficially blank starts to feel bogglingly intricate.
The highly polished surfaces of the slightly tilted "Six Gray Mirrors" (2003) reflect the Dia's industrial architecture, including the clerestory windows that make the reflections possible. They reflect one another: shades of themselves, just dark enough to obscure an infinite regress. They reflect you too, but it's a reflection in a minor key, washed out, muffled. As the minutes pass in the gallery, as the light shifts and visitors pass through, your own lugubrious image becomes something foreign. It vexes you — but the vexation becomes, if you look long enough, its own kind of satisfaction.
Mr. Richter's hundreds of abstract paintings, usually created with the help of a squeegee, make a virtue of frustration: He doesn't think painting has an authentic future, and yet each one refutes the idea that painting is dead. (He is a true-blue student of the composer John Cage, who declared, "I have nothing to say and I am saying it.") Painting, however, has never been Mr. Richter's only medium, and his stern, speechless mirrors, no less than his blurry painted works, combine deep skepticism about the power of art with an undying commitment to artistic creation. "Six Gray Mirrors" is an argument about what art can and can't do, but just as much it is a thing to behold, to be worked through with the eyes as much as the head. In reproduction, you can grasp Mr. Richter's strategies of emptiness and frustration only in part. You need to be in the gallery, and stay there over time, to discover the true substance of nothing.
The absence of color has a long history in Mr. Richter's painterly career, whether in figurative works (of his uncle in Nazi uniform, or of the Baader-Meinhof terrorists dead in Stammheim prison) or in abstract monochromes. "Gray is a color, too," Mr. Richter averred in 1972, "and sometimes it is the most important one for me." Black absorbs all light, white reflects it; as for gray, it absorbs and reflects in equal measure. Look, and the gray mirrors throw your image back at you. Look, and they drink your image in.
MusicAh, 'Parsifal,' We Hardly Knew YeWith this four-hour Wagner opera, immersion is the key to love.
You don't need me to tell you that opera is slow. Slow and long. That's its reputation, anyway, even though many works don't deserve either adjective. "Tosca," for one, moves forward with the crosscutting fervor of a thriller, and the Janacek masterpieces have the concise yet rich emotional punch of great plays.
But for most of my operagoing life I wouldn't have risen to defend "Parsifal," Wagner's final opera, from those who have called it slow, long and many other unpleasant things. Even in the Wagner canon, not distinguished by its economy, this vaguely medieval parable — ostensibly, but always enigmatically, about an innocent young man who saves the honor of a fallen cult of knights — feels long, sprawling over three stately acts in well over four hours of music. While some of that music is sublime — shining and transparent, yet dense with textures and meanings — it can be tough to find your footing within it.
For quite a while I didn't exactly avoid "Parsifal," but neither did I run out in search of it. But in early 2013, the 200th anniversary of Wagner's birth, a series of four performances in four cities cropped up on my schedule in the course of just two months, and I took the plunge.
In this case, immersion was the key to love. So many times with music, the fascination comes when you perceive the range of possibilities in a score: the way two conductors can guide Brahms's Fourth Symphony in two entirely different ways, each a legitimate interpretation of the score, each with a distinct aesthetic and emotional impact.
My "Parsifal" fest was rich in these contrasting visions. I had Christian Thielemann's effortlessly flowing version at the Salzburg Easter Festival in Austria; Franz Welser-Möst's more muscular, visceral rendition in Vienna; and Daniele Gatti's seething, eddying performance at the Metropolitan Opera. From these divergent paths, the opera began looking less like an endless fog than a kaleidoscope of solemn, shimmering colors.
Most significant, in Madrid I heard Thomas Hengelbrock conduct his own Balthasar-Neumann orchestra and chorus in "Parsifal," using instruments like the ones Wagner would have heard at the opera's premiere in 1882. The sounds weren't the heavy ones often (wrongly) associated with this composer; the lightness of the textures evoked Mendelssohn. With a superb cast, particularly Matthias Goerne as the wounded Amfortas and Kwangchul Youn as the conflicted Gurnemanz, the text, which can sometimes come across as a leaden mélange of Christian and pagan strands, had the poetic weight and dramatic clarity of lieder.
Then I saw — on video only, alas — Stefan Herheim's staging, which ran from 2008 to 2012 at the summertime Bayreuth Festival in Germany. In this production, Mr. Herheim almost magically teased out of the opera the stories of Wagner, Bayreuth and Germany itself, traveling through the pain of the 20th century before arriving at a very secular transcendence. Suddenly the work felt not just beautiful but important. My slow journey to slow, slow "Parsifal" was complete.
Comedy'TJ and Dave': Laughter, DelayedThe Chicago duo stand out for their comfort facing a quiet crowd.
See enough improvisational comedy and you start to recognize a common kind of insecurity that can veer into panic.
It's the fear of not getting a laugh.
Every comedian has a horror story about bombing, and that anxiety plays a role in the decisions made within an improv scene. It's why some performers allow very little time between punch lines. They don't want to risk being stuck with that terrifying silence. This, however, has a price, which becomes clear when you see a show by T. J. Jagodowski and Dave Pasquesi, a Chicago duo whose shows go by the name "TJ and Dave." They regularly visit New York and will be playing at Town Hall on Oct. 3.
What stands out about these singularly gifted performers is their comfort when facing a quiet crowd. They are capable of working the audience into a frenzy, but at their best they prove the benefits of taking your time. Instead of rushing into jokes, they build character, wander down narrative tangents and sometimes playfully bicker about the sound or meaning of words. If you're expecting big laughs quickly, their pace can be disorienting. The first time I saw them, at the Barrow Street Theater, my attention occasionally wandered, and while I enjoyed the show, I found myself wondering at the end how they had developed such a passionate following. It was only last year, when I saw them four nights in a row, that I understood what was gained by their leisurely style.
Their hourlong shows feature the most eccentric characters and unexpected narratives you will see in improvisational comedy. There's also an unusual amount of suspense because, as opposed to the regimented, escalating style of much of improv, "TJ and Dave" is far more unpredictable. An explanation of a broken relationship can reveal a poignantly funny situation, and a throwaway joke will later build into something with resonant meaning. Every performance is completely different, of course, but seeing them multiple times teaches you how to watch their shows, which reward close viewing and sensitivity to detail. The big laughs eventually come, but they arrive in the context of a drama that feels more like a play than a sketch. And because of that, they stick with you longer, making them more than worth the wait.

Long-lasting, or chronic, pelvic pain is pain that has lasted for three months or more. It can be distressing and exhausting, and have a huge impact on your life.
It can also be very frustrating, as there is often not one simple cause, or a cause can't be found. But even if a cause can't be found the pain is still real.
Many things can contribute to long-lasting pelvic pain. These include:
Your GP is likely to examine your tummy (abdomen) and do an internal (vaginal) examination to see if they can find a cause for the pain. Based on what they find they may ask for a urine sample to find out if you have a urine infection, and you might need swabs to check for sexually transmitted infections.You need a blood test to check for infection and may also be sent for an ultrasound scan.
Occasionally some women with long-lasting pelvic pain will have keyhole surgery (a laparoscopy) to look for the cause of pain. If this is appropriate for you, you will be referred to a specialist (gynaecologist). You may also be referred to a gynaecologist to carry out further investigations.
You may choose to see a private gynaecologist, a physiotherapist specialising in pelvic problems, or a psychologist.
Once you have had pain for more than three to six months it is unlikely that any one treatment will make it go away completely.
If a cause for your pain is found, doctors will treat that cause. But if doctors can't find a cause, treatment will focus on finding ways for you to deal with the pain so that it doesn't have such a big impact on your life. The video Understanding pain (what to do about it in less than five minutes) explains some of things you can do to reduce the impact of pain on your life.
HealthInfo recommends the following pages
In this TED video paediatric anaesthesiologist Elliot Krane explains the "positive feedback loop" of chronic pain, and what it feels like for sufferers.

A top policeman is being investigated by his own police authority after a woman colleague complained about his conduct towards her, it emerged today.
Warwickshire Deputy Chief Constable Roger Aldridge allegedly propositioned her, kissed her and used "inappropriate language" in July, the Daily Mirror reported.
The woman, a senior member of the force's training team, complained to her husband after the incident and lodged a complaint.


text:
A male friend and I have this ongoing argument without resolution. He claims there are female nymphomaniacs out there—women who only want sex for sex's sake, women who need it, a lot of it and often. I argue that it doesn't matter how many men women sleep with, they're almost always hoping these numerous encounters might turn into something more, that they sleep with all these men because they're really looking for a relationship.
Now I'm not saying there aren't many cases where a woman gets drunk and ends up going home with a troll. Usually when she sobers up she realizes her poor choice in judgment. And runs home to take not 1, but 2 showers. I'm referring more to the girls who give it up too soon to men who more often than not prove to be unworthy by never getting in touch with them again.
Case in point: My 26-year-old neighbor came over the other day. Background: Lives at home with her mother with 2 daughters under the age of 7 from 2 different baby daddies.
So she came over and said, "I have this huge favor to ask you" to which I immediately answered, "No, I'm not watching your kids." Because that's usually what she asks of me, and let me just say right here, I'm so glad I have a boy and not girls; those 2 are loud and chatty and whiney and active.
"No, it's not that," she told me. Then she got this sheepish look on her face, and in a hushed tone said, "You know how I just got an IUD put in, right?" Yes, I did know, because my neighbor went in to get her 5th abortion and the nurse told her (didn't ask) that she was inserting an IUD during her next visit. "I can't feel the string that's supposed to be hanging down from it. The nurse said I'm supposed to check it to make sure it's hanging down, but…" She held up her fingers and wiggled her 2-inch-long painted nails adorned with rhinestones. "The problem is I can't get all up in there to find it."
I stared at her. Finally, I said, "Ummm…" She spoke faster. "I had sex a couple days ago and now I can't feel the string. I can't feel the string!" she said in near hysterics. "I can't get pregnant again! I just can't!" No argument from me. "I need you to see whether you can find the string and pull it down. Please," she begged.
"Fine," I sighed, and followed her to her house. I didn't actually have a problem with this. I mean, I'm a licensed esthetician, so I've had my face in between the legs of women spread-eagled on the table for a Brazilian wax. It's no big deal. Although having my fingers inside a woman puts a different spin on the whole thing. I'm happy to report that with the donning of a latex glove I soon discovered I knew where everything was from personal experience. And while I had to do some major digging and feeling around inside her that was at times slightly awkward, I managed to find that string, dammit, and pull that sucker down without yanking out the IUD. I would have made an awesome gynecologist.
"Are you sure you felt it? You felt it, right? Are you sure?" I reassured her that I had. "Thank you," she said.
"I'm just glad I didn't have to buy you dinner first."
I stayed a little while afterward and she told me how stupid she felt because she had let herself be used by someone who had sworn it would be different. Uh-huh. How many times have women heard that? We often make the mistake of sleeping with men too soon. Why? They pressure us? We're horny? We're afraid we'll lose them?
Magazine articles claim if you have sex with a man too soon, they'll lose respect for you, figuring you must do it right away with every man you meet. One of my male friends agrees; another says it's an antiquated notion. I waited a month before I slept with my ex. I figured if I wanted a serious relationship, then I needed to "send that message." It worked, but he was also having sex with someone else at the time, so I doubt if it was too big a hardship.
My neighbor became misty-eyed as she told me how much it had hurt that this guy hadn't responded to any of her calls or texts–my neighbor, who the ONLY time I have seen become warm and fuzzy was when she was pregnant and had more estrogen flowing through her, I suppose. But she was genuinely sad and disillusioned, and tired from it having been done to her many times before.
Hey, I've been there. What could I say? Wait 4 weeks before you get naked with a man? Respect yourself more? If they've been in prison, they may not be a reliable bet? Pocket their cell phone so they have to get a hold of you?
I have no idea. I'm a gynecologist, not a psychologist.

Of course, it may be more complex than this ... using <weblogic> starts another JVM does it not? With a different classpath...?

What is Debt Validation?
May 30, 2018
Even if you are buried under a mountain of debt, you still have rights. Thanks to the FDCPA, one right you are granted is debt validation.
What is Debt Validation?
Essentially, you have the right to ask your creditor for reporting information that really proves that the debt is yours and the amount is accurate.
Not only do debt collection agencies have to prove the debt is yours, but they also are required to show proof that they own the debt and have the legal ability to collect it.
To request that your debt be validated, send your creditor a letter asking them to do so.
If a debt collector has been harassing you on the phone or in person, you are also allowed to send the collector a cease and desist letter.
Once this letter has been sent, the collection agency must stop all forms of contact with you until they can validate the debt.
Sadly, there is no necessary timeline a creditor must follow in order to validate the debt, so it can be a waiting game.
More often than not, a debt collection agency will not have the proper records to show that you are the true owner of the debts.
The collection agency can also have a hard time trying to find the exact balance that you owe.
This is due to the fact that oftentimes debt is sold off cheap by the original creditors and can be resold an infinite amount of times.
Debt collection is a tricky business. With debt being bought off so cheaply and so often, it can be hard for many debt collection agencies to trace back exactly who owes the debt and for what amount.
However, as a consumer, you will not be informed if your debt has been bought and sold.
When you request a debt validation, the collection agency is forced to prove the debt is yours and that the amount of debt is accurate.
You should never pay a debt to a debt collector unless they validate the debt first.
If a collection agency is unable to validate the debt, the 3 large credit bureaus cannot list the debt as a negative dent on your credit score or credit report.
If a debt is validated and you are proven to be the owner, you are then required to pay the debt off.
Final Note

Last Minute Barrel Race
Thankfully it clouded up and you know, 90 degrees just feels soooo much cooler...so we loaded up and headed out.
For your viewing pleasure-here is Moon and I taking 3rd out of 11 barrel racers...

Congratulations! Looks like a nice smooth run from here.
Can't wait until we see the end of the heat -- of course, that's South Dakota in the summer. Sigh.

Woo Hoo Moon! Nice clean run! Way to go!
I have a barrel race this weekend I 'm going to and it doesn't start exhibitions till 12:30 and then the race at 2 p.m. What could they wait till the hottest part of the day?!?!? Having said that I am not claiming to be a certifiable can chaser! I am going to support a sister church of ours and to have fun! I don't know all the ins and outs of barrels.
Great job! Woot Woot! You go cowgirl!

20M-He is a screamer. Sooo much fun to ride this horse.
Sunny-I know I'm ready for Fall. If it could just stay Fall weather 9 months out of the year-LOL. I'll give spring a month, summer a month and winter a month-just for some variety:)
Welcome Micha-Thanks...we are gaining.
Kris-I think you do just fine in the can chasing;)
I see loads of mistakes in my run. What you can't see is that we almost took out 3rd. Moon's shoulder actually touched the barrel and I had to rip my foot out of the stirrup to not tip it.
- July 16, 2008 at 8:24 AM

I love doing all kinds of events on her, keeps them fresh and from burning out! But you know the die hard barrel racers get really p*ssy when a ranch horse comes in there and tears there high dollar blowed up barrel horses apart! And not to mention a cowgirl that really knows nothing about barrels! LOL! They won't talk to me, I certainly would never EVER leave my horse unattended at a barrel race! Them girls are vicious!! Man they should relax I am just there have fun on my horse! LOL! I'll let you know how I do!

Good run! Not bad at all! You make me want to get out there and turn some. Too bad it's 105 and HUMID as HELL here. I'm sporting blisters on my shoulders from sunburns and that horse bite on my ribs is turning beautiful colors... .
But dang I'm jealous!! You and Moon look great!!

K-OMG-I know...those girls are crazy. I have been having fun with this, but pretty soon they are all going to recognize Moon and the gig will be up...Moon is like THEE most laid back, fall asleep, stumble around, non-barrel horse thing ever. I saw a couple of the younger girls, on their high-headed, dancing sideways, spinning like tops horses, snicker at Moon and I as we ambled around waiting for our turn. They weren't snickering when we got done with our run...then everyone was looking at him like...WTH was that all about? It makes me giggle every time I think about it. Momma always said...walk softly and carry a BIG stick-hehehehe
- July 16, 2008 at 3:59 PM
- BrownEyed Cowgirls said...
M.i.k.e.y....girl, when you gonna start your blog back up? We miss you and your crazy antics...as in What Horse Bite??
Moon has come a long way since the last time you saw him huh? We was just starting him and still slow loping in the exhibitions. I lost a year and he got hurt but he is fixed and sound as ever now. :)
- July 16, 2008 at 4:05 PM
- Andrea said...
You two make it look so easy! I wish I was brave enough to do that. I have always thought that barrel racing was so easy, but man, it's tuff and I am too much of a scardy cat to go that fast. Awesome run!!!
- July 16, 2008 at 10:13 PM
- Pony Girl said...
That was fun to watch, thanks for posting it! Moon is just fast and beautiful and sounds like he has a great personality to match!
We are going to have a barrel pattern at our family playday this summer....but I swear I am just jogging My Boy through the pattern, LOL! He actually has a good turn but I am just terrified to gallop the old man through the course!

Oh you look good out there! I love the description of a quiet horse who turns it on and shocks the railbirds.

Love it! You make me want to try it.... oh wait... dont have a horse. Dammit!
Have FUUUNNNNN!!!
- July 17, 2008 at 6:15 AM
- Laura said...
Way to go! Great video! You guys looked pretty smokin' fast out there...
Makes me want to try! Rusty would be happy to do the barrels at a walk. lol.
Maybe my next horse will be a bit speedier! :-)
- July 17, 2008 at 7:33 AM
- Twinville said...
Oh man, you two looked awesome out there! Thanks for posting that video! I loved watching it.
Barrel racing looks like such a thrill.
And what a fun way for you and Moon to grab a high(and 3rd place! whoohooo) on a hot lazy summer afternoon.
I can't ever see me doing it and I'm sure I'd make a fool of myself and all those barrel racer show-offs would scar my thin skin with their snickerings.
I'm pleased that you and Moon showed them your 'big stick' though! hehe
Maybe the saying should be "Walk softly and ride a fast horse!"
- July 19, 2008 at 2:43 AM
- BrownEyed Cowgirls said...
Yep-Twinville-that's a good motto to live by. Another old saying goes-You can ride a fast horse slow but you cannot ride a slow horse fast! Heehee

Cote d'Ivoire: UN backed e-schools initiative targets humanitarian education
Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire (PANA) - The UN-founded Global E-schools and Communities Initiative (GESCI) plans a new push in the use of information technologies to educate children caught in conflict and refugees under a new strategic plan launched in Abidjan on Thursday at an African ministerial forum.
GESCI Chief Executive Jerome Morrissey said helping senior leaders in the management of education policies and programme implementation was a key strategy of the organisation's plan to ensure effective delivery of its goals to promote use of digital skills in community education.
"We feel we have something significant to offer in the education sector through our leadership development programme targeting all levels of government," Morrissey said, describing the initiatives launched by GESCI to ensure effective implementation of electronic schooling initiatives.
GESCI experts say relying on the ICT use in education offers an important tool to reach some 16 million displaced people worldwide, 4 million of whom are currently within Africa.
Mary Hooker, Senior Education Specialist at GESCI, said using ICTs to empower communities was an important step towards eradicating poverty, adding that it was also part of the non-governmental agency's strategy.
"It is a question of how we are able to deliver quality education for the children so that they have a viable future. We are willing to work with international donors, specialized partners and governments to reach these people using community-based learning technologies," Hooker said.
UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Resident Representative for Cote d'Ivoire Mohamed Toure said currently, only 3 per cent of children in the refugee camps across Africa, had access to school.
"People are forced to leave in exile with nothing more than a small bag. Any displaced child is a potential rebel given the instruments of war. We have to resort to international instruments to ensure education of children in conflict continues," Toure said. "Education cannot wait."
In orders to ensure effective delivery of ICT tools for use in education across Africa, education experts at GESCI, created by the UN Task Force on ICT, which launched it as a project to narrow the world's digital divide in 2003, have said there is need to reach out to leaders responsible for making state policies.
The leaders at technical and political level are trained under an academic programme jointly sponsored by the Africa Union's Commissioner for Science and Technology on designing of policies for use in education. The programme has currently been implemented in 16 countries.
Morrissey said working with senior and middle level education managers in 140 schools and currently able to reach 1,400 teachers and 70,000 learners, GESCI is on course to achieving some of its key goals.
Morrissey said providing education in digital technology use among learners enhanced their skills for the job market.
"The aim of our project is to build skills in development, innovative practices and content creation for new business start-up projects in Africa."
"We are working with governments to build different pillars and work coherently on sustainable development. Our main goal is to ensure good policy practices can lead to high education standards that would change the face of our continent by producing highly qualified children," Hooker said.

On Wednesday, November 9, 2011, Lawrence Education Center had the opportunity to take a group of students on a field trip to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum & Library (ALPLM).
The ALPLM brought the story of Abraham Lincoln to life. As students experienced the story of our 16th president through museum exhibits, they increased their learning in all subject areas. The field trip provided educational opportunities for learners of all ages to explore Illinois and U.S. History and the legacy of Abraham Lincoln, through the museum and library collections.
This opportunity was made available to our school because of generous funding from the Winnick Family Foundation. The Winnick Family Foundation offered grants to teachers of grades 4-12 in U.S. public and nonpublic schools that have a low-income student enrollment. The grants provided funding to visit the ALPLM by offsetting the transportation costs associated with visiting the museum. The Winnick Family Foundation focuses giving in the program areas of education, literacy, health care, art, culture, animal welfare and the needs of the worldwide Jewish community.

Committing to foreign trading markets can often be just as advantageous as paying for neighborhood market segments, perhaps far more. An trader's stock portfolio can certainly attain in the end the actual addition of unusual purchases into it, even if there are probabilities the account are affected some losses in the beginning. Several countries, foreign exchange as well as other regulations can make the industry problems different, but it really may well equally as well end up worthwhile and also helpful.
Just which is recommended not to devote seriously in the unique market, the identical perspective is capable of supporting true for geographical spots too. There can be place-particular has an effect on on inventory markets, especially regions with a history of political disorder or discrepancies. Even besides socio-governmental concerns, it is a great idea to change up a smart investment selection by making an investment abroad. Diversity aids you to harmony one's deficits if you experience any annoying crash in either a person's residence region or foreign market segments.
Lately situations in Indian became advantageous for trading in another country. The RBI by and minimize constraints for Indians needing to get unusual areas has exposed new options for them. Buyers have accessibility of paying for sometimes specific futures or via mutual resources. One example is in 2007 Dependence Funds and ICICI One on one made available dangerous markets for traders by allowing them to invest in another country. ICICI Direct together with US agents, Penson Economic Companies allows investors to business on major US stock exchanges like London stock exchange and Market, even though Assurance Money features very similar alternatives for both equally US and British stock exchanges.
Besides personal futures several Indian shared funds are paying for unusual market segments. Mutual money have the benefit of safe, though specific stocks, although taking the upper chances, can meet the needs of individual requirements of an opportunist considering a certain industry. You are able to begin with the minimum-possibility shared pay for and then change to particular person stocks and options with regards to the enthusiasm they've attained in international areas.
One of many main important things about diversifying offshore is always that other trading markets typically offer what one's real estate arena falls short of. As A Famous by way of example, has several opportunities to purchase caffeine, herbal tea, silicone or another all-natural means in neighborhood marketplaces, that they can take advantage of in overseas market segments. Intercontinental purchase offers methods to avert decline of one's personal currency exchange.

Christmas Jukebox
Despite all my efforts it seems that Christmas cannot be ignored although I would rather draw the curtains and turn out the lights sometimes you have got to put on a face and get on with it.
Christmas only comes once a year and as such you need to let it happen as you never know what might be right around the next corner.
So to make posting easy for the coming week my concentration will be on the festive song, hopefully you will find some new holiday songs you can actually enjoy and hopefully some will re-kindle childhood memories or memories forgotten after dubious office parties.
First up a nice new cover version of an old Jim Reeves standard from the great Camera Obscura
"The Blizzard" – Camera Obscura
There's a blizzard comin' on how I'm wishin' I was home
For my pony's lame and he can't hardly stand
Listen to that northern sigh if we don't get home we'll die
But it's only seven miles to Mary Anne
It's only seven miles to Mary Anne
You can bet we're on her mind for it's nearly christmas time
And I'll bet there's hot biscuits in the pan
Lord, my hands feel like they're froze and there's a numbness in my toes
But, it's only five more miles to Mary Anne
It's only five more miles to Mary Anne
That wind's howlin' and it seems mighty like a woman's screams
So we'd best be movin' faster if we can
Dan just think about that barn with that hay so soft and warm
For it's only three more miles to Mary Anne
It's only three more miles to Mary Anne
Dan get up you ornery cuss or you'll be the death of us
I'm so weary but I'll help you if I can
All right Dan perhaps it's best that we stop awhile and rest
For it's still a hundred yards to Mary Anne
It's still a hundred yeards to Mary Anne
Late that night the storm was gone and they found him there at dawn
He'd a made it but he couldn't leave ol' Dan
Yes, they found him there on the plains his hands frozed to the reins
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
He was just a hundred yards from Mary Anne
Now didn't that just cheer you all up.
Well try this then
"Zat You Santa Claus?" – Louis Armstrong
'Zat You, Santa Claus?
Gifts I'm preparing for some Christmas sharing,
But I pause because,
Hanging my stocking I can hear a knocking.
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Sure is dark out, ain't the slightest spark out.
'Pon my slackened jaw!
Who's there? Who is it stopping for a visit?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Are you bringing a present for me,
Something pleasantly pleasant for me?
Then it's just what I've been waiting for.
Would you mind slipping it under the door?
Cold winds are howling, or could that be growling?
My legs feel like straws.
My my oh me my, kindly would you reply?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Hanging the stocking, I can hear a knocking.
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
I say, who's there, who is it? Are you stopping for a visit?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Oh there, Santa, you gave me a scare.
Now stop teasing cause I know you're there.
We don't believe in no goblins today,
But I can't explain why I'm shaking that way.
Bet I can see ole Santa in the keyhole.
I'll get to the cause.
One peek and I'll try there; oh oh, there's an eye there!
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Please, please, pity my knees!
Say that's you, Santa Claus!
Friday Fun
Who needs a X-Factor Christmas No1 when we can have this classic
Santa send me some earplugs………….now!

Hold Me in Contempt, Wendy Williams (Review)
Hold Me in Contempt, Wendy Williams
Book Description (provided) Move over 50 Shades, there's a new romance in town. Superstar Wendy Williams brings on the heat in her first ever, no-holds-barred, down and dirty, romance novel.
Kimberly Kind is trying to get beyond her roots. A successful, beautiful, smart lawyer, she's finally finding direction in her life and getting out of the streets. But a terrible accident threatens to throw her carefully laid plans off course. Now Kim's hiding a huge secret… one that could threaten everything.
Enter King. A perfect mix of Justin Timberlake and David Beckham, the man oozes sex and has more swagger than anyone Kim's ever met. Their chemistry is off the charts. But after passion-filled nights, the intensity of their emotions takes both of them by surprise.
Love was not supposed to be an option. Now it's the only thing holding them together. When their pasts come back with a vengeance, can love possibly be enough?
Bookswagger Marcia: Four Crowns, good read, on the way to swagger. Hold Me in Contempt was an interesting read, more cultural headlines and taboo subjects were dropped in this one book alone than any fiction multicultural book I have read this year. She knows the culture for sure. Some things you have to live or be around to know, the things that are brought up talking with friends like your cousin being a five percenter (aka in the five percent nation) for example where descriptions that kept me in the story. This is not a romance book, meaning I do not think this one will appeal to romance readers. Kimberly Kind is a mix of something sweet and hateful, she has layers. Layers that her drinking has not allowed her to see, you really do not get a sense of who she is until you see her letting her guard down with King her love interest in the title. I say love interest because he is not truly a hero in the sense romance readers recognize as heroes.
I caution lovers of the romance genre to not pick up this title expecting a romance read, this is not that book. Instead we have another entry, a good one mind you in the urban fiction-street lit genre. Lovers of the urban street lit genre will enjoy this non perfect heroine who finally recognizes her faults and makes the changes to resolve her issues. Her love interest Rig "King" McDonnell brings in the sexy. He is street smart, has impressive swag and although he has issues of his own (ohhh I wish I could tell you, let's just say he knows the struggle but a punk he is not) provides the perfect set of arms to hold her while she is trying to figure out who the real bad guy is. Turns out the story has a bit of a suspenseful plot due to some of the bridges the heroine did not know she had burned.
Straight to the Swagger: Pick this one up if you like urban street fiction and sexy Irish descendants with street swagger because King has all that. A heroine you wouldn't want to be but would love to read about. I hope there will be a second book because I would like to know what happens to Kimberly and King. I thought I was reading a romance and expected a HEA or HFN which I did not get. I got a big ol fat Mob style cliff hanger. If I were rating this as a romance it would not have been a four crown read. But hey I have read this genre enough to recognize it when I see it.

Thank you for hosting today!
Interesting. I haven't read a urban street lit book in like forever…better yet, I haven't read any of W. Williams books. May have to give this one a go.
Awesome spotlight and review 😀
Oh interesting. I don't think I've ever heard of urban street lit before. Might have to try that. I do prefer romance most of the time but it's fun to step outside of that now and again to try something different. Especially if the author really nails it. Love reading ones where you know the author has actual connections or involvement with what they're writing about.

A European manufacturer has announced approval for the use of non-flammable R-513A and R-450A as lower GWP alternatives to R-134a in its bus air conditioning systems. With the alternative refrigerants, the system delivers a virtually identical performance and have the same safety classification as R-134a (Class A1). Refrigerant R-513A is an azeotrope and has a GWP of 631 compared to the GWP of 1430 for R-134a. Refrigerant R-450A has a GWP of 605 and is a zeotropic refrigerant which means the refrigerant must be handled accordingly. The manufacturer has provided guidance for the use of the new refrigerants including the required lubricant oil, and hose changes.

Ted Leo played Hearts of Oak, adds boat show w/ Frankie Rose (on sale now!)
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists' Hearts of Oak 15th anniversary tour hit Brooklyn this week for two shows at Music Hall of Williamsburg. On Tuesday (6/12) they played Hearts of Oak in full, plus a lengthy encore of songs from other albums (and a cover of Adam & The Ants' "Dog Eat Dog"); on Wednesday (6/13) they played a career-spanning set (but not HoO in full). Both nights were opened by Ted's good friend Jean Grae, who joined him for "Can't Go Back." Check out Tuesday's setlist, and some fan shot videos from the MHOW shows, below.
They've got a few more cities left in their Hearts of Oak tour (where they play two nights each in the same way as MHOW), and have added a few shows in August, including a new NYC show: a Rocks Off Concert Cruise on August 17 aboard The Liberty Belle. (It's not a Hearts of Oak show if you were wondering.) Boarding begins at 6 PM at Pier 36 (299 South St) and the ship sets sail at 7 PM. Frankie Rose opens the show. Tickets for that show are on BrooklynVegan presale now — use password NJVEGAN. If you miss out on our presale, tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, June 15 at noon.
Ted Leo & the Pharmcists and Frankie Rose are also playing Asbury Lanes on August 18 (tickets). Updated dates are listed below.
"Come to find that loving is labor, labor's life and life's forever!" Always great to see Ted Leo & The Pharmacists live!

Contesty Things!
This spot is totally for all of the "post a link on your page/blog/thing to enter the contest!" sorts of things.

Monday. 6.11.07 10:23 pm
I grumble about my mom. She makes me feel like shit.
Then people say things like I should kill her or whatnot. Or they go off on random tangents about things that I've said.
Then I feel worse.
Yeah, they're joking, but blah. I don't hate her that much.
13 Comments.
everyone disagrees with their parents at some point or another. You just have to deal with it more often. I'm sorry that there's not much you can do about changing her opinion, but you aren't staying there much longer, are you?

Who said you should kill her? Was it me? I hope it wasn't me. Damn, I wish I could remember these things.
» randomjunk on 2007-06-12 05:32:31
Ahh, sorry. I was just kidding. Usually stuff like that makes me giggle, or at least snort in derision. =( Didn't mean to make it worse.
Just weather the storm, missy. I'm really sorry.

Everyone says things they don't mean when they're really upset. If you let off that you hated your mom that much, it's nothing but human, and anyone with half a brain knows you don't actually mean it.
» Le_Jes on 2007-06-14 11:43:49
Grumble all you want and ignore people that say otherwise. Like they said, people say crap they don't mean when they're really upset. I do a lot. I complain when I do my chores, even when people are around. I don't care what they say around me.
» Kirei on 2007-06-18 07:25:36
Oddly enough the older you get the more you realize that they really are just looking out for you. I grew up and realized that my mom was actually a really cool person.

MN Legislative April Update (DeafBlind Friendly)
Legislative Update
A lot has happened since our March 1, 2018, legislative agenda announcement. Here are a few updates
for you.
Language to update MNCDHH's statute
Our bill to update MNCDHH's statute, describing the role and responsibilities of MNCDHH, HF3290 and SF2777 has passed in several committees. HF3290 passed out of the Health and Human Services Reform committee and State Government Operations committee with minor changes. It was referred to the General Register. We asked our House author, Representative Pugh, to request that the Rules and Legislative Administration Committee put it on the Calendar for the Day for its third reading and final passage. Thanks to board members Lloyd Ballinger, Rosanne Kath, and Michele Isham for testifying.

Legacy Committee
The Minnesota Historical Society selected Thompson Hall to be one of a few selected out of 2200+ grantees to present about the success of the Legacy Fund, which was passed by the 2008 Legislature. Herman Fuechtmann, president of the Thompson Hall Board of Trustees, presented to the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Policy and Legacy Finance Committee on March 7, 2018. John Fechter, president of the Minnesota Association of Deaf Citizens (MADC) and Deaf Equity board member, presented to the House Legacy Committee on March 26, 2018. Thompson Hall hopes to be awarded another grant from the Legacy Fund to renovate the building and make it fully accessible. Mary Hartnett is helping in the search for other sources of funding.
Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf
The board voted to support the Academies' bonding requests. Mary has attended one hearing and MNCDHH plans to send our consultants and board members to meet with the Chairs of the House and Senate bonding committees to encourage the committees to include the Academies' (4) requests in the bonding bill. Superintendent Wilding is a gifted testifier, and he has been doing a great job.
Rulemaking for Tiered Licensure
MNCDHH submitted public comments on the new tiered license law to the Professional Educators Licensure and Standards Board for the consideration of Rulemaking. Ann Mayes, a teacher, testified in front of the board and did a brilliant job. David and Gloria Nathanson testified on concerns for ASL teachers.
Elder Abuse
MNCDHH is meeting with AARP and the Chairs of the HHS Committees from both Senate and House. We are trying to get our optional training on Age-Related Hearing Loss for care-providers to become mandatory.
School Safety
We are trying to get visual signaling added to the school-safety infrastructure improvements grants.
Accessibility for Public Buildings
The Commission voted to support the State Council on Disabilities' accessibility for public buildings bill (SF2064 / HF2013). It passed unanimously in the Senate and had an additional committee to pass in the House. If passed, it means that the building code for public buildings constructed or remodeled after July 1, 1963, must be accessible for people with disabilities.
New information – Fairview Chemical Dependency Program
At the January board meeting, the Commission board voted to support Fairview's Chemical Dependency Program and their need for funding. Changes on a national level to Medicare and Medicaid have resulted in other states not paying to send their clients here. In March, Fairview notified us that the financial issue has become worse. We are actively reaching out to legislators to find funding to allow the program to continue. We will share more information in a future update.
