The Napoleon Hill Foundation received many requests from people wanting the original, unedited, 1937 copy of Think and Grow Rich. To satisfy those customers, the Foundation reproduced Napoleon Hill's personal copy of the first edition, printed in March of 1937. The book has the notation, "not to be loaned", and signed: Annie Lou Hill (the wife of Dr. Hill). This personal copy of Dr. Hill's was given to me by Dr. Charles W. Johnson, Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Foundation and a nephew of Napoleon Hill. It was Napoleon Hill who sent Dr. Johnson to medical school, and today he is a practicing cardiologist. Charlie refers to Napoleon Hill as "Uncle Nap" and will often make the statement, "Uncle Nap would be proud of the Foundation today." The original 1937 manuscript was written and edited with the assistance of Napoleon's wife. In later years, the existing document was again edited by Dr. Hill. For example, the Foundation owns a 1958 edition that Hill edited personally. This did not lessen the book's value in Hill's judgment. Hill made the editing remarks in his own handwriting and the resulting 1960 edited edition has sold over 100 million copies making it the most read self-help book of all time.
Think and Grow Rich sells more copies today than before Dr. Hill died in 1970. Now, a new and authoritative recording of this original, unedited, one-of-a-kind work, authorized by the Napoleon Hill Foundation is available. By purchasing this audio edition, you will be supporting the nonprofit Napoleon Hill Foundation. The entire philosophy of Napoleon Hill is based on the Golden Rule. The Foundation deeply appreciates the support of those of you who only purchase Napoleon Hill authorized books. You can identify these materials by the Foundation Logo and by looking inside for Napoleon Hill copyright.

"An inspiration, if notably ageing"
This audiobook, an unabridged reading of a book written in 1937, was and is, a real inspiration. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that it was written in the early 20th century; where the author offers explanations for some founded on scientific knowledge now known to be untrue. And the assumptions of gender roles and the intended audience invite a quiet chuckle from the discerning modern listener. Still, putting aside the fanciful speculations about how and why some phenomena of science might work, taken more as analogies than literal truth, it is a rare insight into the nature of human endeavours, which appears as valid today as it did back then. Inspiring, but ageing.
Everyone needs to listen to this book. Poor or rich and young or old . It teaches life and riches
"The best"
Wonderful book with so much inspiration. Very informative which adds value to ones living standard
"This version, read by Fred Stella, is THE version to buy"
The book Think and Grow Rich is a classic. If you were to ask any author who writes on success, motivation, or self improvement my guess is each one would recommend this book.
The book, originally published in 1937, is now available online for free because copyrights have lapsed and that has led to more recent print editions having slight changes to the original text.
This audio is true to the original text and I find Fred's voice, pace and style to be the most enjoyable to listen to. I highly recommend this version as well as Fred's reading of Napoleon Hill's Laws of Success also here on Audible.
"The original and ultimate success bible..."
When it comes to the foundations of success, this book simply has no equal. I can't believe it had been this long since I visited it and especially on audiobook. It's so packed with deep wisdom that there's a temptation to dismiss parts of the work as less important when in reality, it is simply a complete work of gold.
A must read/listen for anyone who wants to tap into the life we were all born to lead in seeking the best that's inside each of us...
"The world's greatest classic"
Did not disappoint! I have struggled to finish reading this book for years but on audio, I finished it in 3 days!
"excellent remember of core habits."
don't be offended by some of the time periods gender bias descriptions. key principles still apply today.
"Best book ever, especially if you apply the principles."
I love this book because it was produced over a long period of time and published in 1937. Yet all the principles still apply today. It has made a difference in my life and continues to do so. This is about the fourth or fifth time I've read through it and I will continue to reread it. Best of luck to anyone who chooses to read it.
"A timeless masterpiece! "
Truly phenomenal and revelatory! This book is life changing and is a must read for anyone who seeks to know the formula for success.
"A must to have book"
Although the language and some terminology are obsolete, the main sense of the book remains valid up to date.
The story of the little girl who stand up against a grown up man for some cents shows clearly the secret that the author mention at the beginning of the book
His voice keeps you interested in the book.
To succeed in every goal you have in mind you need to think of it and believe it's possible and then put your best effort in achieving, always seeing yourself as if you already have it.
This is one of the best books I'd ever read, I have the kindle version and the audiobook and I've listened to it a couple of times, I'm also practicing the philosophy that is in the book and I must say that it really works.
"absolutely amazing book."
this is my new bible. so many life lessons. i recommend everyone read this book
"Top notch"
I wish I would have been able to read this book about 15 years ago I would have been farther ahead than I am today and I think that this is a great book for anybody trying to get ahead in life.
"Listen again and again"
Wow. Don't put this off. I'm going to listen again right now and soak in more nuggets

Chris Bohjalian is the author of 14 books, including the best-selling novels Midwives (1997), Secrets of Eden ( May/June 2010), Skeletons at the Feast ( July/Aug 2008), The Double Bind ( May/June 2007), and Before You Know Kindness ( Selection Jan/Feb 2005). The Night Strangers, a ghost story, departs from Bohjalian's Jodi Picoult-like penchant for building his novels around hot-button issues.
The Story: A flock of geese forces an airplane into Lake Champlain, sending 39 passengers to their deaths. Overcome with survivor's guilt, the pilot, Chip Linton, decides to make a fresh start by moving himself, his wife, Emily, and their 10-year-old twin daughters from suburban Philadelphia to rural New Hampshire. But things do not get better; in fact, they get worse as Linton realizes there is something sinister about their new home. The basement contains a mysterious door sealed with 39 bolts, and the neighbors, herbalists with strange names, take a peculiar interest in his children. Then there's the ghostly appearance of Ashley, still dripping with lake water, still wearing her Dora the Explorer backpack, still impaled by a piece of fuselage--and the haunted Linton will do anything to "save" her.
Crown. 400 pages. $25. ISBN: 9780307394996
Miami Herald
"[A] literary ghost story all the more horrifying because it begins with a massive failure of technology, where so many place their faith these days. ... The passages told by Chip are most compelling as the crisp pilot's persona falls away to reveal a man struggling to survive the trauma of the accident." Amy Driscoll
Minneapolis Star Tribune
"The denouement is not only unexpected but is also perfect and true to the story. Bohjalian is a terrific writer and parsimonious in the way he issues information, slowly building an increasing sense of dread and excitement." Curtis Schleier
USA Today
"With echoes of Rosemary's Baby and The Shining, The Night Strangers draws from common horror tropes. But Bohjalian adds fresh chills with his seductive group of herbalists and the parallels to Sullenberger [and his 'Miracle on the Hudson']." Patty Rhule
Washington Post
"It boasts all the trappings of a classic Gothic horror story, reminiscent in places of the spousal secrets in Nathaniel Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown, the thrills of Rosemary's Baby and the psychological frights of Daphne du Maurier. ... Bohjalian turns the screw right up to the unexpected ending and an epilogue that's truly shocking." Keith Donohue
Boston Globe
"His well-designed plots unfold in cool, perfectly paced prose, and he doesn't pander to his readers. But he doesn't challenge us much either, making this book as delicious as Halloween candy, but also as likely to be forgotten the next day." Julie Wittes Schlack
Critical Summary
There is always great anticipation when readers open a new Bohjalian novel, because they're never quite sure what they're going to get: a book about gay marriage, animals' rights, homeopathy, or the Holocaust? The Night Strangers, inspired by a door in the author's basement and Captain "Sully" Sullenberger's capable descent into the Hudson River, does not disappoint in its combination of modern-day and supernatural horror. "Of course," writes the Washington Post, "the logic of the Gothic horror story insists that we accept the house as a metaphor for the narrator's trapped mind." Most critics, however, recommended suspending disbelief in answering the question: "Why didn't the family simply pick up and leave the haunted house?" Fun and creepy, the novel comes with a caveat: "Read if you dare, but keep an extra light on, and make sure your seat is in the full upright and locked position" (USA Today).

CHINO >> Chino Valley Unified board members will be asked to restore more than a dozen positions and almost 50 work days to the current school year at a Thursday's meeting.
The restorations – recommended by the superintendent – add up to about $1.4 million.
Some restorations include the return of custodians, painters, locksmiths, assistant principal secretaries to various school sites and increasing the work year for high school receptionists, counseling assistants, assistant principal secretaries, psychologists, among others.
"Earlier this year the board brought back a number of Associated Chino Teachers positions, like counselors, nurses and music teachers. This round has to do with (classified employees) and some management, but with the exception of psychologists," said Superintendent Wayne Joseph.
While Joseph would eventually like to have the board approve a lot of these restorations in perpetuity, right now he's only comfortable making a one-year recommendation at a time, he said.
Board members will meet at 7 p.m. at the district office, 5130 Riverside Drive, Chino, to vote on the restoration items.
During a budget study session last week, board members were given the list of 18 recommended restorations that would be implemented into the 2013-14 school year.
The budget study session on Aug. 8 discussed the restorations to the current school year, as well as the next one and Gov. Jerry Brown's "local control funding formula.
District officials said the formula represents a historic shift in how California funds public schools that should enable school districts to improve student outcomes, close achievement gaps, and increase the level of communication between schools and the communities they serve. More funding will be available for districts with high numbers of English learners, students eligible for free and reduced meals and foster youths.
"Districts will now need to be strategic in their spending and instructional program delivery as the new funding system shifts away from categorical funding," said Julie Gobin, district spokeswoman. "Districts are being encouraged to begin engaging in dialogue with key stakeholders about how to improve outcomes for students."
Another focal point at the budget study session was on the Common Core State Standards Initiative.
At this time, Chino Valley Unified is expecting an estimated $5.7 million – one time only money – for Common Core funds or about $200.00 per student, Gobin said.
"In order to receive funds, an expenditure plan on how funds will be spent must be developed. The funds can only be used for professional development, instructional materials or technology," she said.

Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
Multiple sulfatase deficiency is a very rare hereditary metabolic disorder in which all of the known sulfatase enzymes (thought to be seven in number) are deficient or inoperative. Major symptoms include mildly coarsened facial features, deafness, and an enlarged liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly). Abnormalities of the skeleton may occur, such as curvature of the spine (lumbar kyphosis) and the breast bone. The skin is usually dry and scaly (ichthyosis). Before symptoms are noticeable, children with this disorder usually develop more slowly than normal. They may not learn to walk or speak as quickly as other children.

This photo was taken prior to the restoration work done last summer on the Victor Holm cabin near Kasilof. Tree-ring dating showed that the lower four logs were 24 years younger than the upper logs, suggesting that they were added 24 years after the original building was constructed. The Kasilof River flats are visible in the background.
Have you ever noticed the low stature of most of the old homestead cabins around the Kenai Peninsula? One might think that our local pioneers of the last century were a bit sawed off and short, but even a big man like trapper Andrew Berg (at 6 feet 2 inches) built short-walled cabins and didn't seem to mind a low ceiling.
My theory on short-walled cabins is that the builders ran out of energy after the walls get above their heads. Log building is a slow process and winter was probably approaching, so they figured that it's time to put the roof on and be done with it. Add to this the economy of heating a smaller room volume with hand-sawn firewood, and you soon conclude that high walls are a cosmetic feature fine for city dwellers who can afford paid carpenters and central heating.
Kasilof Finnish immigrant Victor Holm may have been one such winter-pressed builder, or if not Victor himself, perhaps the builder of his cabin was in such ways pressed for time during the fall of 1891. The cabin was built with 6-foot walls. The flat ceiling would have seemed pretty close by modern standards, and as explained below, after 24 years somebody apparently got tired of the low ceiling, and decided to jack up the cabin and add four more courses of logs. The new logs brought the ceiling up to a commodious height of eight feet.
Victor Holm arrived in 1890 as a young man to help build and work at the salmon cannery at the mouth of the Kasilof River. We don't know if he built the cabin on the south bank of the river that bears his name, but we do know that he patented the land in 1921 and lived there until he left for California in 1944.
He was a solitary bachelor and a skilled furniture maker. He left virtually all of his possessions behind when he left, and it is unclear whether or not he planned to return to Alaska.
Last May a major restoration of the Victor Holm cabin was undertaken by the Kachemak Heritage Land Trust with assistance from the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Grant money was obtained for a workshop on log cabin restoration and 15 people each payed $400 for a week of log hewing and good fellowship, after having traveled from around Alaska, the Yukon and as far as Georgia.
Refuge historian Gary Titus instructed the students and guided the log work, assisted by the refuge cabin crew of Iven Sjodin, Temperance Taylor and Josh Hightower, and student volunteers Bill Nelson and Bryan Taylor. I introduced the students to tree-ring dating.
When the restoration work began we knew little about the age of the cabin, and Gary invited me to try to date the cabin with tree-rings, such as I have done with other old cabins in the Tustumena-Skilak area.
Gary had also noticed something strange about some of the logs, namely, that the fifth log up from the bottom on each side had been split, with the flat side placed downward (see photo).
Log cabin builders sometimes start a wall with a split half-log placed flat side down, especially if they are building on a foundation rather than on the ground. There would be no reason to use a split log higher in the wall. This odd arrangement of the logs suggested to Gary that the original cabin had been jacked up and four more logs had been inserted underneath.
If Gary's hypothesis was correct, the lower four logs might well be younger than the upper logs, and this is where tree-ring dating is needed. Tree-ring dating is based on the idea of matching the ring-width patterns in wood of unknown age with ring-width patterns of known age, measured originally on wood from live trees where the date of the outermost ring is known with certainty. Basically, we line up the narrow and fat rings of the unknown sample with the narrow and fat rings of a known sample (see illustration).
The ring-width matching can be done by eye if there is a lot of variation in ring-width from year to year, as in the illustration. Practically speaking, in this area trees often grow quite steadily, especially near lakes and Cook Inlet, where the water acts as a thermal moderator for the climate. In this case we have to measure the ring-widths in the lab (to an accuracy of 0.01 millimeter) and then use statistical computer programs to do the ring-width matching.
I and the students took 10 core samples from the logs of the Victor Holm cabin, using an increment borer, which is a threaded tube that we screwed into the log to extract a thin dowel-like core of wood. Each core is glued to a strip of wood and highly sanded so that the rings can be measured easily under a microscope.
Once I had the cores under the microscope I was surprised to see that some of the logs were birch, in addition to the normal white spruce of the area. The cabin logs are weathered and gray, and partially hewn, and we had not noticed that some of them were birch.
As a standard of known age for dating I usually use a "chronology" based on an average of 90 trees from the Tustumena Benchlands, whose oldest trees date back to 1609. If I can get 100 years of good rings, I can date most old white spruce wood in the central Kenai accurately to the year with this chronology. But as I said, there has to be enough year-to-year variation in the ring widths; if the rings are very similar in width (which is called "complacent"), one match is as good as another and dating is impossible.
Unfortunately the Victor Holm spruce logs were pretty complacent and I had to do a lot of statistical massaging and head scratching to get some consistent dates. As a further check I also used a white spruce chronology from the Tote Road area, six miles north of the cabin, and got the same dates.
Fortunately, the unusual presence of birch logs provided an independent check on my spruce dates. To date the birch logs I used a chronology of 45 birch trees from the Bufflehead Lake area north of the Swanson River oilfield and the Headquarters Lake area. The Victor Holm birch logs had more year-to-year variation and were easier to date than the spruce logs.
Tree-ring dating of old wood requires matching the ring-width patterns of the old wood with rings of known age. This can be done visually if there is obvious year-to-year variation in ring-width; otherwise the rings-widths must be precisely measured and compared using statistical analysis.
There are some definite limitations of tree-ring dating that should be kept in mind. First, a tree-ring date only tells you when the tree died, not when the cabin was built. The builder could have used a dead tree, or he could have let the logs cure for a period of time before he put them up.
Like I said at the beginning, the old timers were usually in a hurry, so they probably put up green logs. In that case the date of the outermost ring would be the date of construction, assuming that the trees were cut during the summer after the new ring had begun to form. The Victor Holm logs were hewn flat on two sides with a broadaxe, which can only be used effectively with green wood, so this would suggest that builder was dressing the logs and putting them up during the same year that the trees were cut.
Second, weathering can erode the outer rings. To avoid this, it is best to core through the bark, if any bark remains. If the log was completely peeled, as with most of Victor Holm's logs, the outermost rings may be missing and there is no good way to assess this. In dating a cabin we generally try to take as many cores as possible without defacing the logs, and choose the youngest date as the earliest possible date of construction.
Most of the upper logs of the Victor Holm cabin dated from 1882 to 1891, so I would choose 1891 as the earliest date of construction. The pre-1891 dates are probably too old because of erosion of the log surfaces and loss of outer rings. The four birch logs dated from 1885 to 1890.
Most interestingly, the "new" logs on the bottom four courses dated from 1907 to 1915, which indicates 1915 as the earliest year for the remodeling operation. Thus, the cabin was apparently jacked up and the new logs added 24 years after the original construction. The style of log notching at the corners was the same, which suggests the same builder.
There is a second, larger cabin on the Victor Holm site. The logs in this cabin dated from 1907 to 1915, and as usual we would pick the youngest date of 1915 as the earliest possible year of construction, which is the same year that the smaller cabin appears to have been raised.
It is entertaining to speculate about why smaller cabin was raised 24 years after it was originally constructed. Local old timers remember Victor Holm living in the larger building in the 1930-40s, and using the small cabin as an auxiliary building. Perhaps Victor Holm or whoever was originally living in the small cabin finally decided that more space was needed.
Having gotten into the building frame of mind, the owner spent the summer of 1915 putting up the larger cabin and decided to raise the small cabin at the same time, while he was set up for carpentry and log work. If so, it appears that a second builder was brought in for the larger cabin, because the corner joints use a much more complex, dovetail style. The builder of the small cabin would have been at least in his 40s, if he did indeed build both the lower and upper parts, as we propose.
Such dates would fit Victor Holm's age as best we know it, so it is possible that Victor turned again to work on his small cabin and relinquished the building of his new and larger home to a more experienced logsmith.
At this point, we simply don't know the answer to these puzzles, but, perhaps, the answer might be lurking in some old letters, diaries or photographs tucked away in a local attic. If you are the keeper of such old treasures, please give us a call at refuge headquarters (262-7021) before you purge the attic.
In the meanwhile, Gary Titus and his crew have been taking more wood samples from old cabins and remnants thereof, and at last count we have wood from 29 cabins waiting in the lab to be dated. When we have these samples dated, we will publish the results in a historical journal so that they will be part of the permanent historical record for our remarkable area.
Ed Berg has been the ecologist at the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge since 1993.

In a blog post announcing CFM's Trendswatch 2013 report, Elizabeth Merritt speculated that a future museum visit may go something like this:
- On the way in, a staff member asks if you want to borrow a "digital disconnect" pouch for your mobile device, to help you go offline for a stress-free visit.
- But you decide to opt for the fully immersive digital experience. You authorize your mobile device to track your progress through the museum, pull information from exhibits as you approach, synch with your bio-monitor wristband to assess your reaction to the experience and suggest what other galleries you might enjoy.

We invite the museum community to attend or tune in to our daylong symposium, especially our session on "Surveillance in Museums and Cultural Attractions." Because of the treasures they hold, museums have always been sites of intense surveillance, but the scope of that surveillance is expanding. At museums and other cultural attractions, surveillance cameras help ensure the safety of thousands of visitors whiles securing priceless artifacts and works of art. However, those same cameras (with the right facial recognition software) can also be used to count visitors and analyze their demographics. And as the Trendswatch report suggested, visitors' smartphones can already deliver rich, location-specific content to complement in-gallery experiences. Meanwhile, mobile apps also provide the museum staff with a trove of data about visitor behaviors, from walking paths to dwell times. Again, depending on your point of view, this is either really exciting, a little creepy, or both.
Thus, in this session, we'll examine the emergence of surveillance technologies in museums and cultural institutions, and their potential to transform the visitor's experience and visitors' studies. We have three terrific speakers. Steve Keller, a leading security consultant (and a member of AAM's Centennial Honor Roll), describes the various surveillance technologies in place at museums around the world, while explaining a paradox: additional surveillance technologies can actually introduce more potential vulnerabilities from hackers and cyber-thieves. Sam Quigley, chief information officer at the Art Institute of Chicago, describes how his museum implemented comprehensive WiFi coverage throughout the museum to power content-rich mobile applications. He also addresses the touchy questions that arise from the wholesale acquisition and analysis of data revealing visitors' movements and usage. Finally, CFM's own Elizabeth Merritt speculates on the future of museum surveillance and asks some tough questions: Will visitors embrace or reject the increasing use of surveillance technology in museums? Can museums enforce security and serve their patrons while respecting the privacy of their staff and visitors? Nancy Proctor, the head of the Smithsonian's mobile strategy and initiatives, will serve as the moderator of the session and lead what we hope will be a vigorous Q&A session and discussion with our friends from the museum community.
We hope you'll join us on Oct. 25, in person or over the web! And you can follow the Lemelson Center on Twitter @si_invention.

China plans to add three more satellites for its Compass positioning system this year, following the successful launch of two by a single Long March 3B rocket on April 30. These launches will contribute to a service covering part of Asia this year, with the objective of completing the 30-satellite system "around" 2020, says the government's China Aerospace Science & Technology Corp. The satellites lofted to orbit this week were the 12th and 13th of the Compass network.

It's Friday evening at 7pm, and I have actually finished work, for a change. I am doing no work this weekend. The next several days are going to feature cute boys, arts & culture and exotic locations. Stay tuned for more news.
I would like to celebrate this situation with a clip from Fellini's 1963 film 8 1/2. There are many things one could say about this important film but I will be concise. One of the most memorable figures in the film is La Saraghina, a woman who lives in a hut on the beach. In exchange for a coin, she dances. She is – well, I will let you decide.
Saraghina, la rumba! La rumba!

UFC 133 Preview: Is Yoshihiro Akiyama Fighting for His Job?June 24, 2011
In Yoshihiro Akiyama's short UFC career he has earned a Fight of the Night bonus in every fight.
The only problem is he has gone 1-2, winning a very close fight at UFC 100 and dropping his last two fights.
Akiyama has been entertaining to watch, but entertaining losses can only get you so far.
Akiyama is 13-3-2 overall in his career. The Japanese star has shown his great chin and ability to dish out shots just as hard as he can take them.
A combination of Akiyama's cardio and poor planning have been his downfall in the last two fights.
Akiyama opened up strong in both bouts. Akiyama got the better of Chris Leben for much of their fight. Leben took advantage of a gassed Akiyama though, defeating him by submission with seconds left.
Akiyama faced Michael Bisping next, rocking the Brit in the first round. Bisping became more technical in his striking in the next two rounds and won the fight by decision.
Akiyama is never in a boring fight and as one of Japan's top stars, he is a great asset to the UFC.
But Akiyama will have to do more in order to keep his job.
One step in the right direction would be to defeat his next opponent, Vitor Belfort at UFC 133.
Belfort was the most recent victim of middleweight champion Anderson Silva. A win over Belfort would put Akiyama's career back on track.
Akiyama will come in highly motivated to win. Not just to keep his job, but as a dedication to the people who have had to suffer because of the terrible earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March.
If the fight is an exciting one and Akiyama loses, I don't believe he will lose his job just yet. He will be on the chopping block, however, if he can't turn it around.
Akiyama has international appeal and is an exciting fighter. But seeing him cut may become a reality if he does not win.

Hi Everyone, I'm searching for a correct solution (not violating the HTTP protocol and causing least possible confusion to client) to this problem: I POST a structure with task description to a resource (say /res1) /res1 triggers creation of a resource, which can take a long time and can potentially fail in the end, due problems in task description (user fault), that can not be discovered upon the initial POST. I need a way to communicate this error to the user in case creation fails or resulting resource in case the execution succeeds. Would this be correct? 1.) Initial POST to /res1 returns an URI /res2 2.) Subsequent GET or HEAD of /res2 return 202 until the task finishes 3a.) In case the execution succeeds, a GET or HEAD of /res2 returns 200 with task result as body 3b.) Otherwise make the /res2 go away and start returning 410 (or 404?) and explaining what went wrong in the body? Or is there a better way? Thanks, -- Lubomir Rintel (GoodData), phone: #7715Received on Friday, 9 September 2011 12:31:15 UTC

"Don't listen to a Romanian man who says he prefers a 'natural' woman," says Gheorghiu. "He might think he likes a woman without any makeup, but what does he know? With a little mascara and red lipstick, trust me, he will like you even more!" [More Magazine]
This new DVD release from EMI of the Royal Opera's latest production of Puccini's Tosca will no doubt be snatched up by hordes of grateful fans around the globe as it stars three of the most celebrated singers currently before the public and is led by ROH Music Director Antonio Pappano.
It's a slick, professional performance that has many merits. If this is your first Tosca I can say with near Delphic certainty that you'll love it. If, like many of us, this isn't your first trip to Rome you may be left with a few nagging questions. Too many details stand out in sharp contrast to the composer's indications in spite of the fact that we're being served up a seemingly traditional production. Read more »
The little OPERA theatre of ny, in collaboration with New Vintage Baroque, presents the New York City premiere of Piramo e Tisbe by Johann Adolf Hasse, a pivotal opera composer of the 18th century celebrated for his sweet and tender melodies. Sung in Italian with English supertitles. Performances Thursday – Sunday, March 22nd – 25th, 2018. Read more »
La Cieca has just heard that Angela Gheorghiu has become indisposed after the first act of Tosca at the San Francisco Opera. Reportedly David Gockley has said the soprano is on the way to the hospital to be treated for intestinal flu; meanwhile, Melody Moore is preparing to finish the performance.
The diva must be a Diva in Adriana Lecouvreur. Fact.
The guest soloist at the the Wiener Opernball was just introduced as "Rumäniens Antwort auf Anna Netrebko, Angela Gheorghiu."
Yes, in this interview with Naomi Lewin, the word "fiasco" gets thrown around a lot.
Now, it seems, OONY is returning to its star-driven roots.
The very brunette leading ladies of Adriana Lecouvreur, Anita Rachvelishvili and Angela Gheorghiu, flank the practically strawberry blond by comparison Jonas Kaufmann during bows last night after Opera Orchestra of New York's season opener.
In preparation for tonight's Angela Gheorghiu/Jonas Kaufmann Sternstunde at Carnegie Hall, La Cieca invites the cher public to share your favorite memories and YouTube clips of Adriana Lecouvreur performances present and past. (Photo: Alastair Muir)
It would be a shame, I think, if EMI's stunt video of Angela Gheorghiu "in duet" with Maria Callas backfired powerfully enough to prevent serious opera fans (well, okay, let's say "enthusiastic opera fans," that's more like it) from listening to the Romanian diva's new CD Homage to Maria Callas. There's a lot on this mixed-grill disc to enjoy.

Berwick-upon-Tweed is the last town in England in the least populated county, so it should feel remote and parochial. It certainly feels undiscovered; its handsome Georgian sandstone houses, slate and red-tiled rooftops, and complete set of 16th-century fortifications (the walled town sits on the much disputed border between England and Scotland), including a bridge over the river Tweed, rarely fail to drop the jaws of those visiting for the first time.
Parochial, however, it is not. An hour by car from Edinburgh, it has some of that city's strength of character. Shops selling local produce and resident artist Mark Irving's gallery (the-irving-gallery.co.uk) on Bridge Street have brought a bohemian vibe to the town, which now depends on tourism for its livelihood rather than the salmon and wool trade of old.
It also has an award-winning hotel-cum-guesthouse, No 1 Sallyport (off Bridge Street, 01289 298002, sallyport.co.uk, doubles from £140), run by Elizabeth Middlemiss, who has an eye for design and an understanding of what guests want: comfort, courtesy and treats. Set inside the old town's walls, it is a Grade II-listed former merchant's house overlooking the Tweed estuary. Suites have mahogany beds, cashmere blankets, original artworks and state-of-the-art TV equipment. Breakfast, served in jolly communality, includes bacon and sausages from local rare breed pigs.
No 1 Sallyport's central location means it is easy to venture outside and climb on to the medieval walls. Beyond the rooftops are views of the eye-widening Northumbrian coastline, with its beaches and roiling sea, stretching toward the romantic holy island of Lindisfarne.

Negara mikro
Negara mikro adalah sebuah entitas atau komunitas kecil yang mengakui diri sendiri sebagai sebuah negara berdaulat dan mandiri, tetapi tidak diakui oleh negara berdaulat manapun atau organisasi supranasional manapun. Pengertian negara mikro berbeda dengan negara mikro (microstate) Eropa seperti Vatikan, San Marino, Liechtenstein ataupun negara dengan pengakuan terbatas.
Beberapa negara mikro mengklaim daerah yang benar-benar ada, seringkali mengklaim pulau-pulau terpencil dan daerah terisolasi. Negara mikro juga seringkali memproklamirkan kemerdekaan mereka, merilis dan membuat konstitusi, mata uang, bendera, perangko, paspor, medali, simbol, dan barang mereka sendiri, mungkin juga suvenir, dan mereka juga menunjuk kepala negara dan mengklaim kependudukan sendiri [1].

Micronations, sometimes also referred to as model countries and new country projects, are small, self-proclaimed entities that claim to be independent sovereign states but which are not acknowledged as such by any recognised sovereign state, or by any supranational organization. They should not be confused with microstates, which are recognised independent states of a small size, nor should they be confused with unrecognised states, which may have legitimate claim to sovereign state status.[1]:5
Motivations for the creation of micronations include theoretical experimentation, political protest, artistic expression, personal entertainment and the conduct of criminal activity.[1]:4 Micronations can also exist in various forms, including in the physical world (on land, at sea and in outer space), online, in the minds of their creators, or some combination of these. Some micronations issue coins, flags, postage stamps, passports, medals, and other items.

|Republic of Fredonia
|The Fredonian Rebellion (December 21, 1826 – January 23, 1827) was the first attempt by Anglo settlers in Texas to secede from Mexico. One of these carpetbaggers, Haden Edwards, infuriated many settlers in 1825 by producing a contract he had extracted from the Mexican government. In December 1826, his brother Benjamin Edwards led a group of thirty men into Texas. They seized control of the town of Nacogdoches, and declared eastern Texas the Republic of Fredonia.[26]
|Principality of Freedonia
|The Principality of Freedonia was a micronation based on libertarian principles. It was supposedly established as a "hypothetical project" by a group of U.S. teenagers in 1992, before becoming a new country project in 1997 and attempting to purchase territory. It was headed by a Texas university student named John Alexander Kyle, who uses the title Prince John I. In his search to purchase actual territory, Mr. Kyle considered several viable options, but none were realistic.[27] The Freedonia project is inactive from 2004.

|The 1970s saw a number of highly publicized confrontations between the U.S. government and Native Americans, such as the Oglala Lakotas' standoff at Wounded Knee and the Alcatraz occupation. Another clash occurred at Moss Lake in upstate New York. After the federal Indian Claims Commission refused to consider compensation to the Mohawk Nation, saying that its jurisdiction only covered western tribes, a group of Mohawk activists declared 600 acres near Moss Lake the sovereign Mohawk territory of Ganienkeh, and further laid claim to all of northeastern New York. After a firefight between the Mohawks and local vigilantes, the state government started eviction proceedings. When the federal courts refused to hear the matter, Assistant State Attorney General Mario Cuomo was dispatched to negotiate a settlement. In May 1977, the Mohawks accepted a smaller land grant and the crisis was ended.[30][31]

|Icaria is a Greek island in the eastern Aegean. Tensions in the region were high during the early twentieth century. The Ottomans were in retreat everywhere, the newly independent nations of the Balkans were united against them, and Italy had in 1911 declared war, seizing Libya. In 1912, the Italians swept the Aegean of Ottoman warships and seized Rhodes. The inhabitants of Icaria took advantage of the war to declare themselves independent on 12 July 1912. The Balkan alliance declared war in July, reducing the Ottoman holdings in Europe to a tiny foothold. The island was annexed to Greece in November.[30]

|Kingdom of North Sudan
|The declaration of independence was made by Jeremiah Heaton, a former Democratic Party Congressional from Abingdon, Virginia, who made a 14-hour overland trek via desert caravan to a remote, disputed shard of territory between Sudan and Egypt, planted a flag, and declared it, provisionally, "The Heaton" and later, officially, on a suggestion from his children, the Kingdom of North Sudan. The piece of land in question is Bir Tawil, an 800-square-mile lozenge of desert, which is a Terra Nulilus. The reason Heaton has made himself king of North Sudan is to fulfill a promise to his seven-year-old daughter, Emily Heaton. As the self-styled monarch told the press, "Over the winter, Emily and I were playing, and she has a fixation on princesses. She asked me, in all seriousness, if she'd be a real princess someday. And I said she would."[48]

On the evening of 9 August, soldiers from Bucharest arrived at the Ploieşti train station and arrested the new "administration", most of whom declared that they were not actually revolting, thinking it was just a party. Thirty-six of the leaders of the movement were accused of "revolt against the government".

CLERMONT, Ind. -- Larry Dixon extended his NHRA Winston points lead with a commanding Top Fuel performance Monday at the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, the world's most prestigious drag race.
Whit Bazemore, Greg Anderson, Angelle Savoie and Mike Coughlin also were winners of the $2.6 million race, NHRA's 500th national event and the 18th of 24 events in the $50 million NHRA Winston Drag Racing Series during NHRA's 50th Anniversary season.
"This race means a lot to everybody and we are real fortunate to win," said Dixon, who gave much of the credit to veteran crew chief Dick LaHaie, who had never won the U.S. Nationals during his legendary career.
"In the beginning it was just Indy," Dixon added. "This was the one. (Don) Garlits and Shirley (Muldowney) didn't come back to Atlanta, they (made their comeback) at Indy."
In his march to victory, Dixon defeated Bruce Litton, Darrell Russell and most importantly for his chances at a first Winston championship, Kenny Bernstein. He inched 45 points ahead of rival Bernstein in the chase for the 2001 crown.
"I could care less about points this weekend, I wanted to win Indy," said Dixon, who also won this race as a rookie in 1995. "If I won here, I was going to get all the points anyway. We don't have a John Force kind of lead in this deal. If Winston was cutting checks this weekend, we'd be in good shape, but we have six races to go."
Top Fuel legend Garlits, 69, accomplished his goal of running four-seconds at 300 mph (4.720 seconds, 303.37 mph), but lost in a tire-smoking duel to Dunn in the first round.
"I can't remember when I've had so much fun," said Garlits, a three-time Winston champion and eight-time U.S. Nationals winner. "This weekend was a dream."
Muldowney's pink Mac Tools dragster experienced mechanical problems at the starting line that led to an uncharacteristic red-light start against first round foe Darrell Russell.
"I didn't come here for a joy ride, I came here to win," said the 61-year-old Muldowney, who posted a career-best speed of 320.20 mph during the weekend. "I think we had a legitimate chance to do that. I just wanted a chance today, but I didn't get it."
Bazemore scored second win of the season and second U.S. Nationals victory by outrunning Tony Pedregon in the Funny Car final. Bazemore clocked a 4.971 at 298.14 in his Matco Tools Pontiac Firebird to pull away from Pedregon's Castrol Syntec Ford Mustang, which lost traction midway and recorded a 5.123 at 275.06.
"Being the No. 1 qualifier we looked like the favorite, but we went into the final round feeling like the underdog," said Bazemore, also a winner here in 1997. "Tony ran a (4.82) earlier today. To beat those guys you have to do everything they do and turn it up a notch. That's the only way to beat them. It's an unbelievable feeling to be here at the U.S. Nationals holding another trophy."
With the victory, Bazemore, who earned the title of driver of the quickest and fastest Funny Car (4.756 seconds, 325.69 mph) in NHRA history during the weekend but couldn't covert the run into a national record, cut John Force's Winston points lead to 243.
"To win Indy, this is everything," said Bazemore, who outran Al Hofmann, Del Worsham and Ron Capps to advance to his sixth final of the season. "This is what this sport is. To win this race two times, you really have to pinch yourself."
"I can't believe it happened," said Anderson, who was runner-up at Indy in 1999. "I had a terrible day driving, but the car was awesome. The car was just really fast all day."
Jim Yates, who advanced to the semifinals, cut second-round loser Warren Johnson's Winston points lead to 80.
Savoie claimed her 20th career victory in Pro Stock Motorcycle and first-ever at Indy. She took her fifth win of the season and increased her Winston points lead to 51 over Antron Brown by clocking a final round performance of 7.237 at 183.37 on the Team Winston Suzuki, while final round foe Shawn Gann ran 7.311 at 176.77, also on a Suzuki.
Savoie becomes only the second female to win the U.S. Nationals in NHRA history. Muldowney claimed a Top Fuel title here in 1982.
"I'm so excited to finally win the U.S. Nationals," said Savoie, who beat Sam Hurwitz, Todd Doege and Craig Treble to advance to the final. "To win here is everything. But for the first time I didn't cry. I was just so proud that I did my job. Now the next thing on my agenda is to defend my Winston championship."
Coughlin earned his first Pro Stock Truck victory of the season and second at the U.S. Nationals in an all-Chevy S-10 final round. Coughlin, who also won here in 1999, powered to a final round run of 7.540 at 179.40, while Daniels posted a 7.566 at 178.33 in the runner-up effort.
"To win Indy once is awesome. To win it twice, I can't describe how it feels," said Coughlin, who carried the flag for Team Jeg's over the weekend as his two Pro Stock brothers -- Jeg and Troy -- failed to qualify. "This means a lot to my team. We've put a lot of work into this new engine program and we're excited to finish off the season with a bang."
With the runner-up finish, Daniels cut Bob Panella's Winston points lead to 40.
The next NHRA Winston Drag Racing Series event is the Keystone Nationals, Sept. 13-16 at Maple Grove Raceway, Reading, Pa.

Sampling Requests
This page documents the survey sampling assistance ODA provides to CU-Boulder departments, and also serves as a source of information on some of the campus surveys conducted outside of ODA. The list of surveys is organized in descending chronological order. The oldest entries are from fall 2008, when ODA first started tracking sampling assistance. Sub-directory references, for ODA staff use only, are shown in parentheses at the end of each listing. Most of the sample source code and details about samples are located under the subdirectory L:IR\consult\..., while a few of the newer, more recent survey samples are located under the directory: L:\IR\survey\mgt\SamplingRequests\YY\..., and the SAS sample code is noted.
Student privacy. About 2% of degree-seeking students request a privacy block on their records. All samples drawn by ODA exclude students who have requested such a privacy block.
Offsetting of samples. In an effort to prevent students, faculty, and staff from receiving an excessive number of invitations to participate in surveys, ODA typically offsets the samples for surveys that will be administered close together in time. For example, the sample for Survey B might exclude all students who were randomly selected for Survey A's sample. Because this exclusion of students from Survey B's sample is a random process, the sample's representativeness is unaffected; it will still be representative of the population of all students. See the schedule of regularly-administered Campus surveys to review concurrent surveys by which the samples described below may have been offset.
Starting FY14 (Summer 2013-Spring 2014) , we will also request from Campus units, and record, the proposed open and close survey dates for which we send student and/or faculty and staff samples.

Pronounced Ka-tone day 2-lay-are
Here's Emma
6 years old and did very well on our first training appointment
cDiane Rich 2011
Brains can come in small packages
Toy and small breeds are bred to be cute. Cute does come with brains should a pet parent choose to educate these little guyz like what is expected of any medium to giant sized cousin.
The Coton is an intelligent breed that with the right leadership or parenting will do anything for his or her people.
This breed loves attention and can be demanding if indulged. Easy to baby this breed. They do need companionship of their people and do not do well left alone for long periods on a daily basis. So, if you work the usual hours, please think about another breed.
This sensitive and playful breed does not do well with harsh training methods. Like all dogs, proper and early socialization is important. Some Cotons may exhibit shyness or cautiousness in new situations, especially around strangers, but this can usually be prevented with early exposure to life along with obedience training. This breed loves to perform so tricks and even agility can be added to their activity list.
Coddling the Coton (French for cotton referring to coat texture) can easily create instability which could lead to barking, fearfulness and aggression. I have worked with Cotons, a few exhibiting aggressive behavior which usually has a fear component.
I find that the breed is food motivated so watch the calories and find a trainer that in addition to using food offers other forms of motivation and rewards.
The breed was developed in Madagascar off the coast of Africa. They weigh under 15 pounds and maximum height is up to 13 inches. Different dog clubs and registries accept different color variations. They do need brushing and grooming and shed very little.
They are good with apartment life if given adequate exercise. They are athletic little dogs.
Very long lived lifespan, mid teenage years. They can suffer from low thyroid, luxating patella along with hip and eye problems.
Not inexpensive, these dogs can fetch a price of $1500. Puppy mills are notorious producers of pricey small breeds and the Coton is one of them so be careful where you purchase this breed.

- Pretty much any scene with Peter Vincent falls under this but especially this exchange between Peter and his female assistant, Ginger.
Peter: Fuck you!Ginger: I will fuck me, who else is gonna do it?
- Not to mention the time when Peter tells Ginger she was late for her entrance in one of the acts. She responds that he was early... in bed.
- Also, when Peter tells Ginger to get the door.
Ginger: I'm watching my show, you get it!Peter: You're 'tivoing' it, you lazy cow!
- And this:
Peter: I guess I don't wanna be a man like me, either. *Opens his coat to reveal an impressive arsenal of weaponry.* Let's kill something.
- Actually seeing the Doctor use profanity is in and of itself hilarious.
- A subtle one: while Charley is lurking through Jerry's house to escape with Doris, Jerry is seen watching one of Real Housewives TV series and laughing.
- When Peter's gun jams:
Peter: *click* Fucking eBay!
- "I'm gonna pop your cherry."
- Ed's not really the best vampire.
- To put this in perspective: he loses an arm when he fails to get to Peter Vincent before he enters his panic room, gets chomped in the neck by an axe, has a bookcase dropped on him, gets hit with a mace and then finally get staked.
- On the other hand, considering he just got turned and he endured all THAT before he got staked, maybe he's actually a really GOOD vampire in the very short time frame he had as one.
- To put this in perspective: he loses an arm when he fails to get to Peter Vincent before he enters his panic room, gets chomped in the neck by an axe, has a bookcase dropped on him, gets hit with a mace and then finally get staked.
- Charley's mom staking Jerry with the Century 21 sign and his reaction to it
- Then Charley using another car to slam into his mother's van and knock it over onto Jerry
- "That's a mighty big cross you got there. . ."
- Jerry's mock horror in that scene really sells it.
- When Ed's trying to escape from Jerry in his friend's house, there's a moment when Ed gets outside... and Jerry is in a chair waiting for him.
- Mark, David Franco's character. His role was basically playing his Scrubs role but Up to 11 as a high school bully, and when he becomes a vampire, he drops the funny. However, his line after being cured from his curse is this:
Mark: Man, that was some fucked up night.
- The final scene of the film where Charley and Amy are about to have sex in Peter's penthouse, and Peter accidentally interrupts them to come back for his phone. Before he leaves he tells Charley "not to do anything he wouldn't do", but admits that doesn't narrow it down much.
Peter: That's, like, mini golf and sushi.

NY DEC Releases 2009 "State of the Hudson" Report
Action Agenda to Help Set Five-Year Course For Hudson River Estuary
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Pete Grannis today announced the release of the "State of the Hudson 2009 Report" and the "Draft 2010-2014 Hudson River Estuary Action Agenda" during the Hudson River Estuary Program Summit at the Hotel Thayer, West Point, on the Hudson River.
The State of the Hudson 2009 is an illustrated report that describes progress and identifies ongoing problems. It looks at water quality, habitat and fish and wildlife of the estuary, as well as biodiversity, tributary health, and land-use patterns in the Hudson's watershed. The State of the Hudson 2009 is available on the DEC website. The Draft Action Agenda 2010-2014 helps set the course for estuary management for the coming five years. Both documents also are available by calling the Hudson River Estuary Program office at 845-256-3016.
"Fittingly, we are issuing this report during the Quadricentennial celebration of the Hudson. But as we are celebrating 400 years of Hudson River history, we'd be wise to remember the river's recent past," Commissioner Grannis said. "The river has made a remarkable come back over the last 40 years, from the days it was regarded as an open sewer. Yet more work is needed – from keeping toxics out of the estuary to upgrading water infrastructure to increasing citizen stewardship. The State of the Hudson Report gives us a sense of where we are and what we need to do to continue the comeback."
In cooperation with Historic Hudson River Towns and others, the DEC-led Hudson River summit takes stock of priority issues confronting the Hudson River Estuary. Participants focus on their vision for the future and examine how partnerships can be expanded to achieve common goals for the river. More than 170 people were slated to attend the summit, including local partners who provide valuable services for protection and management of the Hudson River Estuary and its watershed.
"The river shaped our past. We now shape its future," said Fran Dunwell, DEC's Hudson River Estuary Coordinator. "Our power to alter the Hudson must be informed by understanding of the vital role the river plays in our lives."
DEC's Draft Hudson River Estuary Action Agenda 2010-2014 is the blueprint for cleaning and protecting the Hudson River and its watershed, while increasing public access, conserving vital natural resources, improving educational programs, and protecting open space along the entire estuary. The Draft 2010-1014 Action Agenda focuses on priorities such as restoring and maintaining signature species and the ecosystems that support them; assisting communities to prepare for climate change, including sea level rise and flooding of tributary streams; maintaining the resiliency of the Hudson watershed ecosystem and its world-famous landscape; achieving the goal of swimmable water quality and maintaining the water quality New York has achieved by upgrading wastewater infrastructure.
Led by the DEC, the Draft 2010-2014 Action Agenda is an inter-agency effort undertaken cooperatively with the Department of State, the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, the Hudson River Valley Greenway, the Office of General Services and others.
Written comments on the draft are due by July 31. Comments can be sent via e-mail at hrep [at] gw [dot] dec [dot] state [dot] ny [dot] us (please include the words "Hudson River Action Agenda" in the subject line) or by mail addressed to: Frances F. Dunwell, NYS DEC Hudson River Estuary Program, 21 South Putt Corners Road, New Paltz, NY 12561.
There will be additional public comment opportunities in fall 2009. A final Action Agenda is targeted for release in January 2010.

After a boozy Oxford reunion, Bog,nor is distressed to learn one of his classmates is a killer. Nothing depresses Simon Bognor like a university reunion.

The millionaire publisher is perusing the Swedish section when the shelves begin to move.....
