The Wealth of Yet More Nations
By Fareed Zakaria
Published: May 1, 2005
A Brief History
of the Twenty-First Century.
By Thomas L. Friedman.
488 pp. Farrar, Straus & Giroux. $27.50.
OVER the past few years, the United States has been obsessed with the Middle East. The administration, the news media and the American people have all been focused almost exclusively on the region, and it has seemed that dealing with its problems would define the early decades of the 21st century. ''The war on terror is a struggle that will last for generations,'' Donald Rumsfeld is reported to have said to his associates after 9/11.
But could it be that we're focused on the wrong problem? The challenge of Islamic terrorism is real enough, but could it prove to be less durable than it once appeared? There are some signs to suggest this. The combined power of most governments of the world is proving to be a match for any terror group. In addition, several of the governments in the Middle East are inching toward modernizing and opening up their societies. This will be a long process but it is already draining some of the rage that undergirded Islamic extremism.
This doesn't mean that the Middle East will disappear off the map. Far from it. Terrorism remains a threat, and we will all continue to be fascinated by upheavals in Lebanon, events in Iran and reforms in Egypt. But ultimately these trends are unlikely to shape the world's future. The countries of the Middle East have been losers in the age of globalization, out of step in an age of free markets, free trade and democratic politics. The world's future -- the big picture -- is more likely to be shaped by the winners of this era. And if the United States thought it was difficult to deal with the losers, the winners present an even thornier set of challenges. This is the implication of the New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman's excellent new book, ''The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century.''
The metaphor of a flat world, used by Friedman to describe the next phase of globalization, is ingenious. It came to him after hearing an Indian software executive explain how the world's economic playing field was being leveled. For a variety of reasons, what economists call ''barriers to entry'' are being destroyed; today an individual or company anywhere can collaborate or compete globally. Bill Gates explains the meaning of this transformation best. Thirty years ago, he tells Friedman, if you had to choose between being born a genius in Mumbai or Shanghai and an average person in Poughkeepsie, you would have chosen Poughkeepsie because your chances of living a prosperous and fulfilled life were much greater there. ''Now,'' Gates says, ''I would rather be a genius born in China than an average guy born in Poughkeepsie.''
The book is done in Friedman's trademark style. You travel with him, meet his wife and kids, learn about his friends and sit in on his interviews. Some find this irritating. I think it works in making complicated ideas accessible. Another Indian entrepreneur, Jerry Rao, explained to Friedman why his accounting firm in Bangalore was able to prepare tax returns for Americans. (In 2005, an estimated 400,000 American I.R.S. returns were prepared in India.) ''Any activity where we can digitize and decompose the value chain, and move the work around, will get moved around. Some people will say, 'Yes, but you can't serve me a steak.' True, but I can take the reservation for your table sitting anywhere in the world,'' Rao says. He ended the interview by describing his next plan, which is to link up with an Israeli company that can transmit CAT scans via the Internet so that Americans can get a second opinion from an Indian or Israeli doctor, quickly and cheaply.
What created the flat world? Friedman stresses technological forces. Paradoxically, the dot-com bubble played a crucial role. Telecommunications companies like Global Crossing had hundreds of millions of dollars of cash -- given to them by gullible investors -- and they used it to pursue incredibly ambitious plans to ''wire the world,'' laying fiber-optic cable across the ocean floors, connecting Bangalore, Bangkok and Beijing to the advanced industrial countries. This excess supply of connectivity meant that the costs of phone calls, Internet connections and data transmission declined dramatically -- so dramatically that many of the companies that laid these cables went bankrupt. But the deed was done, the world was wired. Today it costs about as much to connect to Guangdong as it does New Jersey.
The next blow in this one-two punch was the dot-com bust. The stock market crash made companies everywhere cut spending. That meant they needed to look for ways to do what they were doing for less money. The solution: outsourcing. General Electric had led the way a decade earlier and by the late 1990's many large American companies were recognizing that Indian engineers could handle most technical jobs they needed done, at a tenth the cost. The preparations for Y2K, the millennium bug, gave a huge impetus to this shift since most Western companies needed armies of cheap software workers to recode their computers. Welcome to Bangalore.

we started to track our issues from the german support forum in these issue tracker:
Because of so many open issues, there is a way needed to collect and set them to a priority. Currently our tracker is in german, but there would be a way to translate it, or make it multilangual.
Maybe philips would also participate in the tracker an give is more infos as currently done. We like the products, but the support (in germany) is really bad!
Please improve the firmware soon and give us a roadmap what will be done to solve these issues.

Topic: Grandparent(s) (04/03/08)
TITLE: Regrets
By Mo
"Really!?" Belinda exclaimed. She jumped up and hugged her daughter and son-in-law.
"This calls for a celebration." Belinda went and poured each of them a champagne glass full of apple juice. "Here dear, this won't upset your stomach. No alcohol now…"
"I know Mom…"
Belinda proposed a toast, "To a long and happy life my little one." She patted Cara's barely perceptible tummy bulge.
It was a happy day for Belinda. But all her days were tinged with sadness and regret--even before she lost her husband the year before.
That night, as Belinda said her nightly prayers she shed happy tears. God, please watch over Cara and Kurt's little baby--my first grandbaby...
Then she sighed. I might've been a grandma a long time ago, if only… Angel would've been six years older than my Cara. I don't even know if you're a boy or a girl… I never even told my Henry about you, bless his soul. My children have always brought me so much joy… And now I'm going to be a Grandma.
If only I'd known back then what I know now… God, I know you forgave me long ago, but how can I ever forgive myself? I love you Angel. Really, I do…
Jeanette rang the doorbell. Maybe I should've worn the blue skirt? It's not every day you meet your mother… But I wanted to be comfortable, too…
An older woman opened the door; a woman who looked a bit like Jeanette. "Ruth? It's me, Jeanette."
"Come in dear… Oh my, you're expecting! When's the baby due?"
"I thought you might like to know you're going to be a grandmother--this summer…" She cradled her swollen belly. "It's what prompted me to search for you in earnest."
"I'm so glad you did. I've been looking for you for years.--Not a day has gone by that I didn't wonder about you, wonder if I did the right thing…"
"Oh Ruth, you did. You chose life--my life. My adoptive parents were wonderful people; they passed away just last year, the both of them… But I had a very happy childhood, really."
"I'm so glad--about your childhood that is. Losing a parent is hard; I know..." She patted her daughter's knee. "But now you've gained a parent, in a way, haven't you? I know I can never replace the Lovejoys, and I wouldn't dare try, but I do hope we can be… friends?"
"I hope so too, Ruth."
As she began to relax a bit, Jeanette took note of her surroundings. Her mouth dropped open. "I have that exact same print hanging in my foyer. I just love his work…"
"Me, too."
"And that's not one of his more popular works is it?"
"It's not. We have so much catching up to do now, don't we…?"
"He even looks like me." Joey nodded towards his grandson sleeping in the baby seat in his white Christening outfit.
Susan smiled and nodded.
"And you should see Kim. Being a mom has really turned her around, made her grow up, get responsible... She's really achieving now. She wants to do the best for her boy…"
Susan remembered Kim as a young girl. She also remembered Joey's initial reaction to his 15 year old daughter's pregnancy.
Joey blushed. He'd not seen Susan since before Sammy was born. "That other stuff… That was just talk, ya know? At first… I had no idea… It was just…"
Susan patted Joey's arm. There were simply no words to describe the horror of what he'd asked his daughter to do.
Joey had told Kim, "Get rid of it." Susan shivered, though it wasn't the least bit cold. That sleeping baby isn't an "It." He's a precious little boy. Thank God…
"Just thank God everything turned out all right," said Susan.
"I do Susan, I really do. You know, I'm not the most religious guy, but I thank God she didn't listen to me about that. Sammy's a great kid; so smart… Did you know he can already say Grandpa?"
Susan laughed.
"Really, he does!" Little Sammy woke up from his nap. Grandpa's booming voice had gotten a little too loud.
Joey picked up his grandson and cradled him in his arms. "Say it, little buddy. Say, 'GRANDPA.'"
The baby cooed, "Ga."
"See? What did I tell you? This kid's going places; just you wait and see…"

Betty tells of day her world turned upside down after rollercoaster ride video went viral
The Belfast woman who was tricked into a rollercoaster ride has spoken of her pride at being brave enough to do it after video footage of the incident went viral.
Betty Stewart was pranked by her son Maurice into getting on the Wild Mouse ride at Belfast's Tall Ships Festival and she can be heard screaming in terror throughout the YouTube clip.
The 65-year-old, who suffered a brain injury in a fall that almost claimed her life, said she has now forgiven him, and is proud to be famous across the world for making people laugh.
The grandmother-of-four revealed life hadn't been kind to her. She had a nervous breakdown after her husband died from cancer in 1995, two days after her son's 15th birthday.
Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, Betty said she would never have gone on the ride if she had known what it was going to be like, because of her brain injury.
"I thought the Wild Mouse was a wee roundabout and I told my son I'd love to go on it," she said.
"It wasn't until I got into the air that I realised Maurice had tricked me.
"I've forgiven him now, but I was cross at the time.
"I screamed from I got on it until the moment I got off it and I had to have a couple of glasses of wine to settle me down afterwards."
In the video footage, Betty, who has two grown-up children, can be heard pointing at the others on the rollercoaster and yelling: "Ohhh look at the way they're spinning, oh my God!" as her son captures every second on camera.
"Oh Lord help me," she shouts, followed by: "Oh mister, mister let me off!"
Father-of-two Maurice (35) can be heard laughing as his mum screams in terror with every spin, threatening: "Let me off this thing, you and your Wild Mouse, I'll kill you if we ever do... my heart's thumping out of me."
But, having survived the experience, the pensioner said she was glad she did it.
"I have slight brain damage, so I wouldn't normally go on a ride like that," she said.
"I fell down the stairs at a friend's house five years ago and ended up in a coma for three weeks.
"My doctor said he couldn't believe I pulled through, and I know that I'm lucky to be alive.
"I've been getting better every year and I attend a day centre for people who have brain injuries. My friends there thought I was mad before, and now they're sure!"
Betty said she now gets recognised wherever she goes because of the rollercoaster video.
"When I watch it myself it doesn't seem real, although it's funny," she said.
"Life hasn't been easy, but I'm pleased to be famous for making people laugh. It makes me feel better.
"My husband Maurice died five months after he was diagnosed with bowel cancer. He had just turned 50 and he was buried just two days after our son Maurice turned 15.
"It was heartbreaking. It was a very difficult time for me and I ended up with a nervous breakdown."
She added: "When I watch the video it cheers me up, and I'm proud of myself for doing it."

I try to resist the draw each time. I tell myself that it's not worth it. That it will only result in heartbreak and disgust. That the last time was really the last time. Of course both you and I know that last time was not the last time. I'm like a lover that won't go away. Or an alcoholic.
At least my drug – potential – is not as harmful.
Each year the Spurs have a new case of potential. This year it's more pronounced than normal. Ian Mahinmi. DeJuan Blair. Marcus Haislip. That's not even including the overseas potential with James Gist. In the past it was James White, Beno Udrih, Jackie Butler and Francisco Elson. The names, positions and styles change but the irresistible nature of potential stays the same.
My dilemma is one based in rationality. I know that each of the players, despite their potential, is a long shot to become an integral part of the Spurs for a number of reasons. Only 450 basketball players can fill roster spots at a given time, which is a very small number in regards to the number of professional basketball players around the world. The NBA is for the elite basketball players, not just those that are good. Numerous experts time and time again have stressed that the players who make the NBA typically have one skill that they are exceptional at such as three point shooting, defense, rebounding, etc. A player who is mediocre or even good at a number of skills is less likely to make and stay in the NBA than a player who is exceptional at one skill.

George and LaRee Miller of Park City, UT welcome you to our Family History Blog.
Here's how we got started, George's story:
A few years ago I was getting quite ill and was lucky enough to have life-saving liver transplant. Unfortunately, I had to retire from my job at the State Office of Education. As I began the recovery process I found myself searching for something to do. LaRee, my wife, remembered a old box of family papers and photos stored under her brother's stairs in his basement.
What a surprise was waiting for us! Over 2,000 names of ancestors were laying a thick layer of dust. Photos, group records, histories, and handwritten stories were lying waiting for someone to bring them to life. What a treasure!
LaRee and I began the journey of piecing together our family tree. Today, we find ourselves serving a mission at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT. We spend 16 hours a week helping others find their past as we find ours. We have been blessed by this journey and find a personal connection to our generations past. We have learned that our family's history, is America's history. These names on a paper have become real people, who overcame unimaginable trials to provide their children...and us...with a better life.
We will share stories that we have found as well as our process in finding them. We look forward to more discoveries to come and invite to join us along the way.
George and LaRee Miller

When I saw on the schedule that the Kronos Quartet would be playing an all-Steve-Reich program at Campbell Hall as part of this year's UCSB Arts & Lectures series, I was stoked.
Reich is one of the most important figures in minimal music and was influential on some of my favorite rock musicians, such as Brian Eno, King Crimson and David Bowie. In fact, the first time I heard Reich's groundbreaking tape phase experiment "It's Gonna Rain" was at a lecture by Eno. Certainly a treat was coming — the acclaimed Kronos Quartet playing the music of Reich, including pieces written specifically for them!
Imagine my disappointment when I heard that Radiohead would be performing at the Santa Barbara Bowl at exactly the same time on the same day. I mean, even Reich is a fan of Radiohead — he is currently working on a piece called "Radio Rewrite" based on Radiohead's music. (Click here for more information.) What to do?
Well, my choice became easy when the Radiohead show sold out in seconds, with no ticket for me. But rest assured, the Kronos/Steve Reich show was great! And it was inside, out of the rain. Perhaps Reich's "It's Gonna Rain" showed an odd sort of prescience.
Kronos — founder David Harrington and John Sherba on violin, Hank Dutt on viola and Jeffrey Zeigler on cello — started the evening with Triple Quartet, for which they played live over tapes of two other quartets, actually the Kronos Quartet of yesteryear with Jennifer Culp on cello. This has three movements, following Reich's common fast-slow-fast structure, with a particularly dramatic transition into the last one. An interesting piece with a full sound and lots going on, it was a great start to the show.
Next up were three selections from Reich's opera The Cave, which refers to the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, the final resting place of Abraham, Sarah and their descendants. The first included tapes of voices doubled with instruments while a changing pulse held things together. For the others, the quartet accompanied chanting and sounds of the cave with a peaceful but somewhat ominous drone.
The centerpiece of the evening was the haunting "WTC 9/11," Reich's recent response to the World Trade Center attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. On that fateful day, Reich's son, daughter-in-law and grandchild were in Reich's apartment four blocks from the WTC site, so this was literally in his neighborhood. The first movement begins with the sound that a landline makes when it is off the hook, providing a pulse for the piece, then captures the chaotic events as they transpire with taped clips of the air traffic controllers and firemen doubled with instruments.
For the second movement, Reich uses tapes of the reminiscences about that day — for example, "I knew it wasn't an accident," "Then the second plane hit," "You could not see in front of you" — with held sounds at the end of some phrases giving a surreal audio freeze-frame effect.
The last movement recalls a part of that day's aftermath that I either was unaware of or had forgotten — the observance of the Jewish tradition of having someone stay with dead bodies until burial, here the bodies being those recovered from the World Trade Center site. There are tapes of the prayers and singing from this tradition mixed in with the quartet's music, which takes a more heavenly tone.
The piece ends poignantly with another possible interpretation of WTC — the "World To Come," followed by "I don't really know what that means." The final word is, "And there's the world right here," and the sound of the phone returns. In my opinion, Reich and Kronos have created a masterpiece with this one.
After an intermission, Kronos returned with "Different Trains," with more voice samples doubled by the instruments. In the first movement, the samples concern the train from New York to Los Angeles that Reich rode as a child traveling between his divorced parents. The second movement is based on the contemporaneous trains that took people to concentration camps during World War II, a profound juxtaposition.
The final movement is inspired by the war's aftermath. This is an epic piece, with frequent tempo changes and pulsing instrumentation that nicely captures the relentless chugging of the train. Incidentally, this included a recording of backing sounds by Kronos from back when Joan Jeanrenaud was their cellist.
After the performance, the Kronos Quartet stuck around for a fascinating question-and-answer session that covered the mechanics of the performance, such as the use of a click track for "Different Trains," working intimately with Reich on the realization of the pieces, and the marathon six-hour quartet by Morton Feldman that Kronos has performed eight times and probably never will again because of the physical challenge of playing such a long piece.
Maybe next time they come to town, the Kronos Quartet and Radiohead will at least play on different nights, giving us — well, those lucky enough to get tickets to the latter — the chance to see two stellar acts at the top of their respective genres.

text: THE BRONX KILL – myth, mystery, map. The very name caught me. Hooked me and wouldn't let me go. I saw it on a map of New York. I like maps. I particularly like maps of this part of the world, with its resonant, iconic place names. The Bronx Kill. That tiny place shoved to some dark recess of the map, like a dirty secret pushed to the back of a mind. Of course, for a writer (for a writer like me anyway) dark secrets have a special kind of allure. I knew what kill meant in this context – a body of water - but even so, its other meaning screamed out at me too. Kill. Thinking about death and maps made me think about time, how maps are fixed points in time, political and historical snapshots. This made me think about history, the weight of history. How pain can be handed down through the generations, along with names and genes. A story was forming. A dark, convoluted inter-generation tale about the crushing weight of history. Our hero would be a young man who for most of his life has tried to escape from the sometimes brutal history of his family, of his race. But is forced to go back, is forced to uncover more than he wants to. And the Bronx Kill still only existed for me as a place on a map. A name. An idea. In the early days of this project I had a number of opportunities to visit the Bronx Kill. I came really close. I think Bronx Kill artist James Romberger was going to go there one day and I almost went along with him. But I didn't. I didn't because I realized that the Bronx Kill had became a mythical place for me. And I was concerned that if I saw the reality it would lose some of its fictive power and become…well, just another place. So I stayed away. And traveled to the Bronx Kill only in my own imagination. Now that the story is written and published I suppose there's nothing stopping me visiting the Bronx Kill the next time I'm in New York. But I'm still reluctant. Maybe some places, like some dark secrets, are best left alone, unvisited.

Okay saw it in the theater, kind of disappointed. While I could easily see David Tennent pulling off the dialog; Peter Capaldi seems a bit too mature. My son kind of thought the same thing. I loved the Amy reference but River knew The Doctor better than Clara ever will. Loved the Matt Smith cameo but that even seemed like an afterthought.
They changed too much to try to make it familiar.
I am wondering about "Missy"; Mrs Delphox. That garden scene looked very similar to the garden scene in The Girl Who Waited.
There was a little girl dressed up tonight as a Weeping Angel at Panera.

(By Margaret)
Last month, we ran a festering pit update, thanks to reader Darcey, who tipped us off to a renewed permit for the hole at 3920 Stone Way N. When we spoke to Scott Brewer, Director of Construction at Redimensions, he told us that it was simply a permit renewal, and that the property's future was still uncertain, given the financing issues involved with it.
This morning, the Seattle Times reported that Redimensions (referring to the company as an affiliate for Prescott Homes) actually purchased the property from QFC yesterday, and in addition to the permit issued in mid-November, there was another permit issued on November 30 for the following:
Phase III of III to establish use as Multifamily structure, retail, restaurant,live/work. And structural and architectural completion of mixed use building and occupy per plan.
Mr. Brewer wasn't available for comment today, but it seems we're inching closer to getting that hole filled. That, in itself, would be a Christmas miracle, though I still have visions of the hole converted to a gigantic ball pit…(sigh)…dare to dream.

Sad Lamp £39.99 @ Maplin
Maplin has marked this SAD light box down from £59.99 to £39.99 just in time for the dark and cold winter nights. The promotion is only running until 04 October and after that it goes back up to the higher price. £20 is not a bad saving on a cool device!
The SAD Light Box comes with free UK delivery and you can pay via PayPal which is another bonus. All round, a good deal so far. The device purports to improve your energy levels and combat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and the advanced curved shape focuses the light for maximum effect using 10,000 lux.
It comes with a foldable tripod and wall mounting device and is brilliant for use in the home and the office. The device, using the same levels of light as sunlight etc, helps your body to produce less Melatonin and to boost your energy levels using natural light.
I am seriously thinking of one of these, I am so miserable with the cold and dark that by February I am a bit mad.
Thanks to fiona7 at HUKD

Production Reviews
(Drama Criticism)
Walter Kerr (review date 23 September 1966)
SOURCE: A review of A Delicate Balance, in The New York Times, 23 September 1966, p. 44.
[The following negative review judges A Delicate Balance to be an empty play about hollowness and nameless dread.]
T. S. Eliot once said, "I will show you fear in a handful of dust," and then he did it. In A Delicate Balance, Edward Albee talks about it and talks about it and talks about it, sometimes wittily, sometimes ruefully, sometimes truthfully. But showing might have done better.
A Delicate Balance is the sort of play that might be written if there were no theater. It exists outside itself, beside itself, aloof from itself, as detached from the hard floor of the Martin Beck, where it opened last night, as its alarmed characters are detached from themselves. The effect is deliberate—because it is precisely hollowness that is most on Mr. Albee's mind—and it is offered to us on an elegantly lacquered empty platter the moment the curtain goes up.
The curtain goes up on a setting that seems already to have floated away. There, in the background, are perfectly familiar bookshelves, probably solid chandeliers, all the potted palms of the world's onetime comfort. But everything that is solid is recessed, slipping off into shadow. Downstage, near us, is an amber void in which the characters live and have their non-being. Hume Cronyn clenches his fingers and stares in worry and near-exasperation at Jessica Tandy. Miss Tandy, silver-haired queen of all that is absent, smooths down the gray serenity of her utterly unwrinkled dress, and speaks quickly. She speculates, lightly at first, on the desirability of going mad.
Madness would be an acceptable enough escape for the people of the play because, in middle life and moving steadily toward less life, they are without occupation or pre-occupation. What should they have on their minds, or in their house? Miss Tandy's sister is present, but present only to drink. A daughter is soon to come home, but only to take refuge from her latest detestable husband. Each adds negation to what is already lost. And there are friends on the threshold, shivering as the door is opened. The neighbors, Carmen Mathews and Henderson Forsythe, have dropped by because they have just had a fright. She was sitting doing her needlepoint, he brushing up his French, when something—or, rather, nothing—happened. Nothing at all happened. They just got scared. Perhaps friendship will be some sort of haven from anxiety, especially when the anxiety cannot be named or found hiding down the hall.
That Mr. Albee is prepared to do shadow-battle with a perfectly real phenomenon of our time is plain enough, and in the elusive feinting with the indefinable he has several successes. Mr. Cronyn, for instance, is given a first-act passage in which, at no one's request, he describes his desperately loving encounter with a cat. He had loved the cat and wanted the cat to love him. Insisted upon it, in fact. But cats and love cannot be insisted upon, and in the end there is clawing, slapping about, and coldly prearranged death.
Without warning, Mr. Cronyn seems to get his hands about the play's throat as he describes his fifth unsuccessful at-tempt to force a dearly loved pet to purr—there are echoes of The Zoo Story here, but they are good echoes—and the unbidden intensity that strains the muscles of his mouth until they seem ready to fray and snap is miraculous performing. Again, in the play's third and best act, the actor thrashes about the meaningless furniture in the early hours of the morning trying to find a good face to put on love and fidelity with the fire of a prophet whose message may be dragged by main force out of the heavens.
Miss Tandy's finest moment comes in a fierce assault on human withdrawal, on the evasive action each of us takes when he hears too much pain in the immediate neighborhood. Now the cool champagne-cocktail ice of her voice burns away and something nearer lava is served, neat. In and around these occasional yearnings to say what will never be said clearly enough, Rosemary Murphy scatters very dry alcoholic aphorisms, rather as though she were whipping the already exhausted contestants with a knotted towel of cheerful malice. Miss Murphy, at one time a green witch spilling orange juice on the rug, is a perfect vehicle for Mr. Albee's gratuitous, grinning barbs.
But in the end how do you get hold of hollowness, how do you flesh out what is drained of flesh and create suspense out of what isn't there? Harold Pinter has sometimes done it, and Harold Pinter is what comes to mind the moment the two terrified, baffled neighbors enter to lay claim to shelter in an upstairs room.
But Mr. Pinter does everything by suggestion, by playing on our own easily disturbed sensibilities. He never uses the word "fright," he simply frightens us. Mr. Albee, on the other hand, plays out his hand all too readily, revealing that there is so little in it. Miss Mathews and Mr. Forsythe keep telling us how rattled they are, and they do tremble—a bit too much, in fact. But we never inhabit their apprehensions, we only listen to them.
And, in an effort to find a stylized verbal technique that will convey the literally unspeakable, Mr. Albee has seemed to go directly back to the T. S. Eliot of, say, Family Reunion, and to use, much too abstractly and often too sonorously, the reiterations and the repeated rhythms of almost-but-not-quite poetry. The images seem to have hollows in them, like well-formed chocolate Easter bunnies that crack wide open at the very first bite. Words like "succor, comfort, warmth" recur as though they had no concrete referents, no tangible thread connecting them with days or nights or bodies or deeds, and when Mr. Cronyn announces that his daughter is having hysterics in a room above we come to expect the sort of reply we get: "That is a condition. I asked about an action." The play itself becomes a condition, standing still, though immaculately still.
Alan Schneider has staged it with infinite composure and considerable grace, William Ritman's setting is surely altogether right, and Marian Seldes, as the raven-haired Cas-sandra who is prey to hysterics, works hard at the passion of her utter distress. But it is an ungrounded distress, and Miss Seldes suffers most from having to flash so much anger over unseen, unknown wounds.
Henry Hewes (review date 8 October 1966)
SOURCE: "The Family that Stayed Separate," in Saturday Review, Vol. XLIX, No. 41, 8 October 1966, p. 90.
[The essay below presents a mixed review of A Delicate Balance, stating that "if what we see is convincing and sophisticated, it is not steadily compelling."]
Having more or less disposed of the university and the church in his last two plays, Edward Albee has now chosen to weave his intricate web around a more personal institution, American family life. A Delicate Balance commences at cocktail hour in the affluent suburban home of a sixtyish couple named Agnes and Tobias. All is cozy and comfortable, and even the presence of Agnes's alcoholic younger sister, Claire, fails seriously to disrupt their façcade of contentment. It is not smugness, but a contentment achieved through concern for what each thinks the other one wants. In doing this they have ceased to want anything themselves. They are not fools, however, and see the truth of their situation at the same time that they participate in its myth.
Two principal myths are examined in this play. The first is that people who are sufficiently happy together or enough in love to get married will forever remain happy and in love. Albee punctures this one early with the parable of Tobias and the cat. Here we see that a man who is unable to regain a love that has dissipated equates his inability with being judged—being betrayed—and reacts with hatred and viciousness. But married people often avoid such an outcome by pretending, by living up to a myth that they may privately recognize as untrue. Thus we resign ourselves and, as one character says, through "the gradual demise of intensity, the private preoccupations, the substitutions, we become allegorical.… The individuality we held so dearly sinks into crotchet; we see ourselves repeated by those we bring into it all, either by mirror or rejection.…"
The second myth is that best friends acquired through proximity and mutual activities can always depend upon each other's help no matter how great the sacrifice entailed. Albee suggests that if the latter myth can be shown to be absurd, so must the former also be.
To test the balance of "the regulated great gray life," Albee simply has Agnes's and Tobias's best friends, Harry and Edna, arrive unexpectedly at the door. They have experienced "the terror" (which, though never explained, is presumably that point at which awareness of the distance between myth and truth becomes unbearable), and demand to move in. Agnes recognizes that their terror could be contagious and calls upon Tobias to choose between letting them stay permanently or ordering them out. This eventually results in a remarkable mad eruption by Tobias in which his contradictory feelings are revealed. His position is at once hilariously ridiculous and touchingly pathetic. And though the play nominally ends on an anti-climatic note, we leave the theater feeling that we have seen a most important part of our way of life compassionately but accurately described.
We also feel, of course, that it has been challenged, though not as excoriatingly as we had anticipated. A remark by Claire that is almost a footnote is the play's strongest indictment. "We're not a communal nation, giving but not sharing, outgoing but not friendly. We submerge our truths and have our sunsets on untroubled waters. We live with our truths in the grassy bottom, and we examine all the interpretations of all the implications like we had a life for nothing else … We better develop gills."
The play is not easy to perform. In a way, Albee has tried to do in prose what T. S. Eliot did in verse in his later plays, and without the help of meter Albee's succession of paragraphed insights can seem talky. This is particularly true because of the lack of specific information that emerges from all the conversation. Fortunately, Albee sprinkles his script with his special humor—and theatricality—to keep us entertained when the plot does not.
Jessica Tandy plays the role of Agnes, "licensed wife," with so much composure that we tend to see her as an instrument of propriety. Hume Cronyn is excellent and versatile as To-bias, but he is so completely explicit that we sometimes miss the inner mystery and private grief, that might make him more protagonist and less demonstrator. Oddly enough, Henderson Forsythe and Carmen Mathews in the much smaller roles of Harry and Edna emerge with more human dimension. And most effective of all are Rosemary Murphy and Marian Seldes. As the alcoholic, outspoken Claire, Miss Murphy has the opportunity to speak nasty truths about everyone else and makes the mischievous most of it. Miss Seldes, as Julia, the daughter who keeps returning to the nursery dragging in broken marriages "like some Raggedy Ann doll by the foot," gives the fullest emotional performance of all. It is her rage and her frustration that most indict her elders' complaisance.
While Alan Schneider's direction is thorough, both it and William Ritman's large, handsome set make the people in this play seem remote. Perhaps this was the playwright's intention: for us to see ourselves from a distance in a space where elegant language seems natural and four-letter Anglo-Saxon words become seven-letter Latin ones.
If what we see is convincing and sophisticated, it is not steadily compelling. The audience keeps wanting to get closer to the characters. There is, for instance, the suggestion that Claire had been "upended" by Tobias one summer long ago, and that had he divorced Agnes to marry her things might have been better for everyone. Yet it is never explored. Obviously the playwright is concerned with the process of restoring delicate balances rather than what it takes to upset them.
However, steadily compelling plays are few these days, and, all things considered, A Delicate Balance will do. It will do because it manages to encompass a complex subject with such honesty and grace.
Robert Brustein (review date 8 October 1966)
SOURCE: "Albee Decorates an Old House," in New Republic, Vol. 155, No. 15, 8 October 1966, pp. 35-36.
[The scathing review below condemns A Delicate Balance as "a very bad play … boring and trivial."]
Edward Albee's recent work poses a number of problems for the reviewer, one of them being that it is virtually impossible to discuss it without falling into repetition. Looking over the anthology of pieces I have written about his annual procession of plays, I discover that I am continually returning to two related points: that his plays have no internal validity and that they are all heavily dependent upon the style of other dramatists. At the risk of boring the reader, I am forced to repeat these judgments about A Delicate Balance. The fourth in a series of disasters that Albee has been turning out since Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, this work, like its predecessors, suffers from a borrowed style and a hollow center. It also suggests that Albee's talent for reproduction has begun to fail him until the labels on his lendings are all but exposed to public view. Reviewers have already noted the stamp of T. S. Eliot on A Delicate Balance (a name tag that was somewhat more subtly imprinted on Tiny Alice as well), and it is quite true that Albee, like Eliot before him, is now trying to invest the conventional drawing room comedy with metaphysical significance. But where Eliot was usually impelled by a religious vision, Albee seems to be stimulated by mere artifice, and the result is emptiness, emptiness, emptiness.
A Delicate Balance is, to my mind, a very bad play—not as bad as Malcolm, which had a certain special awfulness all its own—but boring and trivial nevertheless. It is also the most remote of Albee's plays—so far removed from human experience, in fact, that one wonders if Albee is not letting his servants do his living for him. Although the action is supposed to take place in suburban America—in the living room and conservatory of an upper middle-class family—the environment is more that of the English landed gentry as represented on the West End before the Osborne revolution. Leather-bound books sit on library shelves, elbowing copies of Horizon; brandy and anisette and martinis are constantly being decanted between, over, and under bits of dialogue; the help problem becomes an object of concern, as well as problems of friendship, marriage, sex, and the proper attitude to take towards pets; and characters discuss their relationships in a lapidary style as far from modern speech as the whistles of a dolphin.
The failure of the language, actually, is the most surprising failure of the play, especially since Albee's control of idiom has usually been his most confident feature. Here, on the other hand, banal analogies are forced to pass for wisdom: "Friendship is something like a marriage, is it not Tobias, for better or for worse?" The plot is signalled with all the subtlety of a railroad brakeman rerouting a train: "Julia is coming home. She is leaving Douglas which is no surprise to me." A relaxed idiom is continually sacrificed to clumsy grammatical accuracy: "You are a guest," observes one character, to which the other replies, "As you." If colloquialisms are spoken, they are invariably accompanied by self-conscious apologies: One character drinks "like the famous fish," while another observes, "You're copping out, as they say." Empty chatter is passed off as profound observation with the aid of irrelevant portentous subordinate clauses: "Time happens, I suppose, to people. Everything becomes too late finally." And the play ends with one of those vibrato rising sun lines familiar from at least a dozen such evenings: "Come now, we can begin the day."
It is clear that Albee has never heard such people talk, he has only read plays about them, and he has not retained enough from his reading to give his characters life. More surprisingly, he has not even borrowed creatively from his own work, for although a number of Albee's usual strategies are present in A Delicate Balance, they do not function with much cogency. One character, for example, tells of his difficulties with a cat that no longer loved him—a tale that recalls a similar tale about a dog in The Zoo Story—but here the narrative is no more than a sentimental recollection. Similarly, a dead child figures in this work, as in so many Albee plays, but it has no organic relevance to the action and seems introduced only to reveal the sexual hangups of the protagonists and to fill up time.
Too much of the play, in fact, seems purely decorative: There simply isn't enough material here to make up a full evening. A Delicate Balance concerns a family of four—a passive husband, an imperious wife, an alcoholic sister-inlaw, and a much divorced daughter—whose problems are exacerbated when they are visited by some married friends. This couple has just experienced a nameless terror in their home, and when they move in on the family for comfort and security, a delicate balance is upset, all the characters learning that terror is infectious, like the plague. This plot has a nice touch of mystery about it, but its main consequence is to move various sexually estranged couples into each other's rooms after various impassioned dialogues. What finally puzzles the will is how very little Albee now thinks can make up a play: A few confessions, a few revelations, a little spookiness, and an emotional third act speech.
Alan Schneider's production is stiff and pedestrian. One senses discomfort in the staging as well as in the performances: These are not roles that actors fill with pleasure. Rosemary Murphy has some vigor as the alcoholic sister-in-law, coming on like one of those sardonic (male) drunks that used to appear in the plays of Philip Barry, but like the other performers, she has a difficult time recovering the portentous rhythms of the play when she stumbles over a line. Hume Cronyn, usually one of our most dependable actors, is dry and uninteresting as the father; Jessica Tandy is delicate but high-pitched as the mother; and Marian Seldes as the daughter is vocally and physically angular. The director occasionally tries for an effect, as when he arranges four ladies with their coffee cups in the attitude of an Eliot chorus, but most of the time we are spared such tableaux and the stage is left as empty as the play. It is an emptiness that no amount of activity can fill. A Delicate Balance is an old house which an interior decorator has tried to furnish with reproductions and pieces bought at auction. But the house has never been lived in and the wind murmurs drily through its corridors.
Harold Clurman (review date 10 October 1966)
SOURCE: A review of A Delicate Balance, in The Nation, Vol. 203, No. 11, 10 October 1966, pp. 361-63.
[The following favorable review maintains that A Delicate Balance is a brilliant play that conveys "the almost insuperable difficulty of loving one's neighbor, and the absolute necessity of behaving with love despite that difficulty."]
If someone should tell you that Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance is a brilliant play (which it is), ask: "What is its theme?" If another declares that it is very well written (also true),...

CLAIRTON, Pa. - Target 11 Consumer Investigator Robin Taylor talked to a family that fell for a new scheme claiming they were sweepstakes winner.
At least a dozen people have reported being targeted by the same scheme. They get a call from someone who says they're with the Winner's Circle. The caller says they've won millions. All they have to do is pay the taxes.
Unfortunately, it's a con and a Clairton grandmother fell for it.
"He said, 'I have some good news for you. The good news is that you've won $3.5 million and a BMW car,'" said Geraldine Davis.
Davis was excited because the prize patrol was coming to her door the next day, so she borrowed $750 and then followed the caller's instructions.
"They sound so convincing that you really believe them," said Davis.
Her daughter-in-law, Sha-ron Gilbert, went to Rite Aid and bought MoneyPak cards, which can be used to send people money. The caller demanded she give him the numbers on the back.
Gilbert wasn't comfortable with what was happening, so she recorded the conversation.
"At no point can these cards be used until these people arrive to my home, correct?" Gilbert asked.
And he assured her that was true, but it was all a con.
"Within five minutes the money was taken off," said Gilbert.
The money was gone and there was no prize patrol. It was just a cruel hoax.
"Nobody showed up at my door. Plus I had my family members here. My daughter had taken off of work. And it was just a big letdown," said Davis.
"To me, they're preying on the elderly. They're preying on people who are older," said Gilbert.
When the phone rings now, Davis has learned to hang up.
"When they say money, you know to
say, 'Good bye, not interested,'" said Davis.
Pittsburgh police said the con artists are preying senior citizens in this region.
If you get a call from someone saying you've won a prize, the red flags should fly immediately, especially if they say they need money first for you to collect your winnings.

His: family is prominent in New

Colonel Gracie was a cousin of Dan
Gracie of Bemldji. His escape from
the sinking Titanic was one of the
most thrilling incidents of the ocean I
tragedy that cost more than 1,3*0
lives. He was one of the many first

taken off in the boats of the liner,
and as he described it, he was on one
of the upper decks-when the big ship
settled. Near him were Major Archi

Colonel Gracie said he was thrown
into the water when the vessel tilted
upward just before sinking, and he

was carried down more,than.a hun

suddenly shot up to the surface when
the Titanic's boilers burst.
As he came to the surface breath

There were'many other persons swim

several of them on "it he was lifted,
on himself, and later rescued by on

Mrs. E: H. Smith, Mrs. J. P. Hesk

appointed a committee to solicit sufc

Mrs. H. E. Smith, Captain Helen
Reitz of the Salvation Army, and K.

to look into cases brought to their at

The meeting' and organization, is
the result-of what has generally been
considered a growing necessity for
some time past, in order that unified
action may be taken by those inter

give many opportunity to donate
when assured that the donation will
be used in the most practical and in
telligent way possible.
Following is a communication re^~
ceived at-the Pioneer office from the
soliciting committee:"
"Bemidji is fortunate in the small
number of families which are in need
of charitable assistance. Yet because
of. sickness and other things there
are about thirty families and about
sixty to seventy children, most of
whom are widows and orphans, who
do need assistanceand some badly
and at once.
"Because of the cases which need
Immediate attention and the- neces-
sary delay in perfecting the organ
ization of the association, Mrs. E. H.
Smith, Mrs. J. P. Hennessey and
Miss L. L. Berman we're appointed an
emergency committee to solicit funds
as soon aa possible in order that the
treasurer may be able to. meet the
demands of those where delay will
mean suffering from poverty in any
of its forms.
"It is the wish and intention of
those who have already Joined the
association to give the work as wide
a scope and make it as effective as
possible. It is their hope that the
response to the call for funds will be
as generous as a movement of this
kind is entitled to and that every
man and. woman will give, what they
can in money or useful articles and
not only give, but join the associa
tion and help with their presence
and counsel. If this is done, it is
the belief of those who are already
members, that the work can be made
so complete that every citizen in BK

fact that there are nb women,' chil

It's been a busy year. That is the introduction to my apology for not posting more frequently. I vow to rectify that in the new year.
Although this is my second Christmas, post renovation, I felt more settled in the home this year. More relaxed.
But I digress. I have some holiday pictures to share. Plus, let you know that I am posting on Instagram. As of this moment, I have 13 organic followers. And I am proud of each one of those.
So finally, thank you for continuing to follow my blog and continuing to check back for new posts. I hope the holiday and the new year are good to you and your family. As for me, I am optimistic and have nothing but good, sweet thoughts.
I hope you find some inspiration.

The Barney Oliver Amplifier Story
I had the chance of finding an example of this vintage amplifier recently with many original documents relative to its story. I think it could be of interest to some other HP enthusiasts to learn more about this particular anecdote of the Hewlett Packard story. The story began in May 1972, with a memo edited by Dan Lansdon, which started with the following announcement:
"A while back Barney Oliver decided to design a stereo amplifier for his home. This labor of love resulted in a state-of-the-art amplifier with outstanding performance. People at -hp- heard it (or heard about it), wanted one and offered to help make it available to -hp- employees. A cooperative, after-hours "G" job resulted, Chris Clare, Rich Marconi and Ken peterson of Paul Stoft's lab assisted on electrical and mechanical aspects. Paul Rasmuasen of Corporate Industrial Design lent his special talents. Clarence Studley of Stoft's lab finalized the mechanical design. Eileen Martin of HPL did PC layout; Betty Downs of HPL did schematics and artwork. Others, including Tom Osborne, helped in a variety of ways, Barney and his helpers spent many, many ''spare time hours" and we can now take orders for delivery in September.
Without intending to make a sales pitch, I can say that tests in my home against an excellent system convinced me that Barney's amplifier is probably the best stereo amplifier ever built.
If you want a fine quality stereo system, this amplifier offers performance unmatched at two or three times the price, or perhaps at any price"
The complete contents of this memo are available in PDF format below on this page. Another very informative writing about this unusual production of the Hewlett Packard story is the article published in the February 1973 issue of "The Peninsulan". The Peninsulan was a publication by the Corporate Public Relations Services, "For Hewlett-Packard People in Palo Alto, Mountain View, Cupertino, Santa Clara & Sunnyvale".
The contents, word for word, and photographs are reproduced below. The original newspaper page layout's incompatibility with Web page layout, and the necessity of good readability are the only reasons for this reconstruction.
