text: Shannon829 0 Posted May 2, 2012 Hi there! I am creating this thread so that I can keep a log/track of my progress and with the use of Coconut Oil. Background: I am a 34 year old female who developed acne in my late teens until now. I used to have cystic acne, but I have thankfully cleared up most of it with the help of BenzaClin and Retin-A. I still continue to suffer from adult/hormonal acne. Around that time of month, I am almost guaranteed a breakout usually around the chin area and occaisionally on the cheeks and forehead. Unfortunately, even one pimple would lead to a huge pimple and scarring. Plus, I would still get a pimples here and there in between the month. I try to keep them at bay with sporadic use of BenzaClin and Retin-A. Unfortunately, I still had very dry skin. Lots of peeling and patches of dry skin all over my face, especially the cheek and chin areas. I used Cetaphil as a moisturizer and it helped, but did not last all day for me. Well, I finally decided to try Coconut Oil topically. Why you may ask? Well, after applying the coconut oil on the rest of my body and noticing such a huge transformation of my skin even after one application, I decided to take a leap of faith and use it on my face. It took awhile to work up the courage because I was of course worried about a severe breakout as I have never put oil on my face except for Tea Tree Oil....and that was not a good experience for me. So, I will be tracking my results as I go along. I've only been using it for 1 1/2 weeks thus far and so far the results are amazing! Week 1: Washed face with Purpose Facial Cleanser and applied Coconut Oil each night to facial skin and neck area. Used only a small pea size amount and lightly smoothed oil all over face. I do not reapply in the morning. So, only once a day. Things I've noticed: Skin is no longer dry. Patches of peeling skin have disappeared. The smoothness is truly something I have never seen for my face. My skin tone is way more even and skin appears more supple and youthful. Pimples that were on my face when I started healed and went away after 1 day of application. One pimple came to the surface at the beginning of first week's application that was incredibly easy to extract and was healed by next day. This is the most healthy I've seen my skin look in years. Other than the one earlier pimple, there has been no new pimples to surface. Scar marks appear to be lightening. Things I'm Concerned About: Worried this will clog my pores and I'll have a major breakout. Thankfully, it hasn't happened yet. I have used a facial soft scrub sponge once this week to help with exfoliation due to the fears of clogging pores. Monday night, I took a break and did not apply Coconut Oil and skin was still moisturized, soft, and smooth. Restarted regime Tuesday night (last night). Skin is still doing very well. What I'm using: Purpose Facial Cleanser and Now Healthy Foods - Virgin Coconut Oil, 100% Pure, Unrefined, and Cold-Pressed made from organic coconuts. I bought this at my local GNC That's it! I've noticed that everytime I try alot of differnt things at once, my skin just suffers. I really hope this lasts for me as I'm so tired of dealing with this acne issue! Wish me luck!

I know for you this is easy but for me is not. I give my best shot but it's no use so I need someone to teach about all this stuff.
As I try to solve this one, I come up with this answer:
Suppose $x^2-5xy-3$ is even, then $x=2a + 1$ and $y=2b$ for some integers $a,b \in\mathbb{Z}$.
Thus, $$\begin{aligned}x^2-5xy-3&=(2a+1)^2-5(2a+1)(2b)-3 \\ &=(4a^2+4a+1)-20ab+10b-3 \\ &=2(2a^2+2a)-20ab+10b-2 \\ &=\;?\end{aligned}$$
And I don't know what's the next step. I know there's something wrong with my procedure.
I also have plenty of other questions that need to be answered. I've already answer this equations but I can't solve it.
- If $m$ is odd and $n$ is even, then $m^2-5mn+n^2+1$ is even, where $m,n\in\mathbb{Z}$.
- If $x-y$ is even, then $x^2+3xy-5$ is odd, where $m,n \in\mathbb{Z}$.
- Let $a,b \in\mathbb{Z}$. If $2b^2-3ab+1$ is even, then $2a-b$ is odd.
- Let $m,n \in\mathbb{Z}$. Prove that if $m^2+1$ is even, then $2n+m$ is even.
Even though I'm not good in math, I know in the future I will be good in math by practicing and with your help.
This not a assignment, I'm practicing solving problems like this to be good in math.

Wendyl wants to know: Deli counter slices will put more meat in sarnies
Most families buy a bit of sliced or shaved ham to put in sandwiches each week. But when it comes to ham you definitely get what you pay for. This pack as stated on the packaging is a "value affordable freshness" product which sells for $1.23 per 100g (if you take advantage of the "2 for $5") special. A reader wrote to me with some concerns about the product: "I pulled a sliver of translucent Countdown 'Value' Shaved Ham from the packet. I noticed it was wringing wet. I was adding it to my son's packed lunch. I tried some, it tasted awful (he likes it) and nothing like ham, so I read the label ... 50 per cent Pork. 'Wow', I thought to myself, 'is that legal? And what is the other 50 per cent? Wendyl will know ... or want to know, I hope."' I can answer the first question - yes it is legal to only provide 50 per cent pork in a meat product - technically this product could be called a sausage with this much meat in it. But we need to see what else makes up the remaining 50 per cent:
Pork (50 per cent) The fact that this shaved ham contains only 50 per cent pork is quite distressing because it means half of the shaved slices of ham are made up of something else. The good news is that nowhere on this pack can I find the words "processed meat", which would mean that along with pork would be what is known as meat trimmings which can be what's left over when main cuts are boned and trimmed such as skin and ears. So we can assume that what little pork is in here is actual pork meat. The absence of the words "free range" and "100 per cent New Zealand Pork" means that we can also assume the pork is sourced from caged animals and/or pork imported into New Zealand from other countries.
Water This ham is very wet and as the second ingredient on the list we know that other than pork, the largest ingredient is water.
Potato starch This is a starch made out of potatoes. When you crush raw potato a milky substance comes out of them which is starch. This is then dried and the starch is used in foods such as this, probably as a thickener.
Salt This product, like most hams, is very high in salt. One 50g serve will give you 650mg of sodium. It is recommended that most people consume between 920mg and 1600mg of sodium each day.
Sugar Not a lot of sugar in here and it is probably here as a flavouring.
Mineral salts (451, 452, 341) Sodium triphospate (451) polyphosphate (452) and calcium phosphate (341) are used in foods as a preservative to keep meat tender and moist.
Vegetable fibre This is usually included in ingredient labels because it is in the product to bulk up its fibre content and make it healthier. There is no listing for fibre on the nutritional information so this will be in here simply to fill out the remaining 50 per cent of each ham slice which isn't pork.
Vegetable gum (407) This is carrageenan, a gel extracted from seaweed, and will be in here as a filler. It also has concerns from health activists because it can be an intestinal irritant and the joint Food and Agriculture Organisation and World Health Organisation expert committee on food additives advises it be kept out of infant formulas.
Antioxidant (316) This is sodium erythorbate which, when used as an antioxidant, is structurally related to vitamin C. It helps improve flavour stability and is sometimes used instead of sulphites for processed meat products as it is considered safer and removes carcinogenic nitrosamines.
Acidity regulator (331, 325, 262) These are sodium citrates, sodium lactate and sodium acetate which are in the ham to control the pH levels. If they aren't controlled this can result in undesirable bacteria developing.
Preservative (250) This is sodium nitrite, which has enjoyed a controversial past and is avoided by healthy eaters. It is used to inhibit the growth of the bacteria which cause botulism and as a colour fixative. But there is concern that it reacts with stomach acid to form carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds during digestion. A new study has found that adults who consumed the highest amounts of nitrate and nitrite were almost 30 per cent more likely to develop bladder cancer than those who consumed the lowest amount of the compounds. I am told it is impossible to make a ham without it, although recent reviews of processed meats such as Heller's Free Farmed Country Pork sausages use sodium metabisulphite (223), which when it comes to preservatives is a healthier option than sodium nitrite.
Smoke flavour Smoke flavour is achieved by burning wood chips or sawdust which produces smoke which is condensed into solids or liquids. The flavouring is deemed safe for human consumption, however the European Food Safety Authority is testing some smoke flavours after animal testing showed that it can damage DNA, the genetic material in cells.
My recommendations:
To be fair, many of the ingredients in here are found in many hams such as smoke flavour, carrageenan and mineral salts. The one thing it doesn't have, though, is colour, which is great. But you are not getting much real food in this product and you can see that because the slices are in the shape of a neat circle and do not for one moment resemble anything sliced off a leg of pork. I also dispute the "freshness" claim on the packaging. This product had a use-by date six weeks out from the day I bought it. Nothing fresh lasts this long. Instead you are far better off paying a little extra for champagne ham, sliced at the deli counter. Champagne simply means that the bone has been removed from the ham leg which is a superior product - thus the use of the word champagne. This will cost you $1.70 to $2.20 per 100g depending on freshness. It doesn't have preservatives so has a fast shelf life and most supermarkets will discount it when it is near the end of its days. Some also offer a free range product. I can't guarantee that some of these ingredients won't be in this ham but its resemblance to a slice of meat is a great indicator that it is closely related to real food, rather than the stuff in this pack.
Highlights * 50 per cent pork, the rest is made up of fillers and additives. * Uses sodium nitrite as a preservative rather than a safer option. * Does not contain added colour.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) - The family of a U.S. missionary pilot who has disappeared off the coast of West Africa says aviation officials waited nearly 24 hours to start searching for his missing plane. But the lead investigator on Sao Tome island says the coast guard was alerted after it was dark.
The family of Jerry Krause, a missionary from Waseca, Minnesota, is sending a representative to Sao Tome in an effort to clarify what happened after the control tower lost contact with the pilot and his Beechcraft 1900C as it was approaching the airport amid a tropical storm on the afternoon of April 7.
Krause was flying from South Africa to Mali with a scheduled refueling stop in Sao Tome.
'His plane was never reported missing by Sao Tome until Monday afternoon after 3 p.m. when my mom contacted the (U.S.) Embassy in Mali,' Krause's daughter, Jessica, told The Associated Press on Thursday. She said the first search by boat also didn't start until Monday afternoon, about 24 hours after he went missing.
'It was us having to call them to say `Please, send someone out to look for my dad.'' Jessica Krause spoke by telephone from Bamako, Mali, where she flew from the U.S. to be with her mother, Gina.
Antonio Lima, president of the Air Accident Investigation Commission at Sao Tome's National Civil Aviation Institute, said control tower officials reported that Krause's plane lost contact with them at 4.13 p.m. (1613 GMT), according to a report provided by the airport management company ENESA.
He told the AP in a telephone interview that the tower reported at least to the local coast guard, which said it received the alert about Krause's plane being missing at 6 p.m., when it was already dark. The coast guard reported sending a vessel to search the sea in the direction from which the plane had been flying in on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday following the Sunday afternoon disappearance, he said.
But they found no trace of the aircraft, not even a sign of fuel on the surface of the ocean, Lima said, quoting the coast guard report.
Krause's family is encouraged by the lack of any debris and believes he is still alive. At its Web site www.findjerry.com , the family says the lack of any wreckage or signals from emergency transmitter beacons is an indicator the plane didn't crash. It has suggested Krause could have been kidnapped by drug traffickers or warlords, though there is no evidence to support that theory.
Lima said finding the plane is 'crucial,' so that they can recover the black box. 'Without that we may never get to the bottom of this,' he said.
Lima acknowledged there are plenty of loose ends that he hopes to clear up in his investigation.
He said he was unaware of a claim by the control tower chief that the tower was struck by lightning while it was in radio contact with Krause. Chief Januario Barreto told the AP on Wednesday that by the time generators restored power, soon afterward, the tower had lost contact with Krause.
Lima said 'someone is lying' and that he suspected Barreto 'is trying to save himself' by telling such a story. Barreto also said traffic controllers immediately contacted the nearest control towers, at Libreville, Gabon, and Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, but they had not heard from Krause.
Jessica Krause said pilot friends at the Sahel Aviation Service for which her father worked in Bamako, Mali, called all airports within flying distance from around 4 p.m. Monday afternoon until 9 p.m. that night.
'Several pilots made the calls trying to figure out where he was as no one had reported that he was missing,' she said. 'We called them (other airports) 24 hours later and not one of them had any idea what we were talking about when we mentioned a missing aircraft heading to Sao Tome Sunday evening.'
Krause's family has filed a missing person report in the U.S. to allow the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board to investigate his disappearance. The board was notified of Krause's case on April 9 and has named a representative to participate in the investigation, said Hilary Fuller Renner, spokeswoman for the Bureau of African Affairs at the U.S. State Department.

John Rawls
Rawls, John Bordley
John Bordley Rawls, 1921–2002, American philosopher and political theorist, b. Baltimore, grad. Princeton (A.B., 1943; Ph.D., 1950). He taught at Princeton (1950–52), Cornell (1953–59), and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1960–62) before becoming (1962) professor of philosophy at Harvard. Rawls's chief work, A Theory of Justice (1971, 2d ed. 1999), has been called the 20th century's most influential work of liberal political philosophy. In it, he attempts, within the social contract tradition of Locke, Rousseau, and Kant, to offer an alternative to utilitarian political philosophy (see utilitarianism). His system was developed from two basic principles: Each person has a right to the most extensive basic liberty compatible with like liberty for others, and inequalities in the distribution of wealth and power are just only when they can be reasonably expected to work to the advantage of those who are worst off. For Rawls, justice does not require equality in social position, but it does require that people share one another's fate.
Providing the social contract tradition with a formidable philosophic defense by balancing the claims of liberty and equality, Rawls's book revived interest in systematic political theory. His other works include The Law of Peoples (1999) and Lectures on the History of Moral Philosophy (2000). He restated and enlarged the arguments of his 1971 magnum opus, replying to his critics and correcting what he perceived as mistakes in the original work while aiming at a broader audience, in his Justice as Fairness (2001). Rawls's liberalism has often been compared to the conservatism of his fellow Harvard philosophy professor, Robert Nozick.

The following theorem is well-known:
Let $A$ be a ring. Let $C$ be a cocomplete $Ab$-category and $X$ an $A$-module-object in $C$, i.e. an object endowed with a ring homomorphism $\sigma : A \to \text{End}(X)$. Then this yields a cocontinuous $Ab$-functor $F : \text{Mod}(A) \to C$ with $F(A)=X$ and the action of $F$ on endomorphisms of $A$ is given by $\sigma$. Actually this yields an equivalence of categories between the category of cocontinuous $Ab$-functors $\text{Mod}(A) \to C$ and the category of $A$-module objects in $C$.
The crucial step is the construction of $F$. It works as follows: Construct first the right adjoint of $F$ (which has to exist by abstract nonsense). For an object $Y$, obviously the abelian group $\text{Hom}(X,Y)$ carries the structure of a right $A$-module; just precompose with the action of $X$. The functor $\text{Hom}(X,-) : C \to \text{Mod}(A)$ has a left adjoint $F = X \otimes -$: Namely it is enough to define $F$ on objects and verify the corresponding universal property; the action on morphisms, functoriality and preservation of colimits is automatic. Well, $X \otimes A = X$, it is then clear what to do for free $A$-modules, and choosing a presentation of an arbitrary $A$-module $M$, it is clear how to define $X \otimes M$.
Question Is there a direct construction of the functor $X \otimes -$ which does not involve universal properties?
The background is that I want to prove some variants of this theorem where we cannot just enrich the hom-functor over $\text{Mod}(A)$ and use adjoints. So this question is not just out of curiosity. I hope that an affirmative answer to this question makes the other theorems accessible.
It's clear how to start: For every free $A$-module $M$, fix a basis $B_M$, and put $X \otimes M := X^{\oplus B_M}$ (I think if we do not want to use the global Axiom of Choice, we should use anafunctors instead). Thinking of matrices, it is easy to make $X \otimes -$ a functor on the free modules. Now if $M$ is an arbitrary $A$-module, fix once and for all a presentation
$M_1 \to M_2 \to M \to 0$
with free $A$-modules $M_1,M_2$, and define $F(M)$ to be the cokernel of $F(M_1) \to F(M_2)$, i.e. the sequence
$F(M_1) \to F(M_2) \to F(M) \to 0$
is exact (at least if $C$ is abelian, which you may assume if necessary). Now in order to show that $F$ is functorial, let $N$ be another $A$-module and $N_1 \to N_2 \to N \to 0$ its presentation. Suppose $f : M \to N$ is a homomorphism. Since $M_2$ is projective, we may lift it to a homomorphism $g : M_2 \to N_2$. However, I don't know how to go on.
Even if this works, I'm curious if we can do it without using that free objects in the presentation are projective. The motivation for this comes from this unanswered question.

Sovereignty of Nations
sovereignty, supreme authority in a political community. The concept of sovereignty has had a long history of development, and it may be said that every political theorist since Plato has dealt with the notion in some manner, although not always explicitly. Jean Bodin was the first theorist to formulate a modern concept of sovereignty. In his Six Bookes of a Commonweale (1576) Bodin asserted that the prince, or the sovereign, has the power to declare law. Thomas Hobbes later furthered the concept of kingly sovereignty by stating that the king not only declares law but creates it; he thereby gave the sovereign both absolute moral and political power. Hobbes, like other social-contract theorists, asserted that the king derives his power from a populace who have collectively given up their own former personal sovereignty and power and placed it irretrievably in the king.
The concept of sovereignty was closely related to the growth of the modern nation-state, and today the term is used almost exclusively to describe the attributes of a state rather than a person. A sovereign state is often described as one that is free and independent. In its internal affairs it has undivided jurisdiction over all persons and property within its territory. It claims the right to regulate its economic life without regard for its neighbors and to increase armaments without limit. No other nation may rightfully interfere in its domestic affairs. In its external relations it claims the right to enforce its own conception of rights and to declare war.
This description of a sovereign state is denied, however, by those who assert that international law is binding. Because states are limited by treaties and international obligations and are not legally permitted by the United Nations Charter to commit aggression at will, they argue that the absolute freedom of a sovereign state is, and should be, a thing of the past. In current international practice this view is generally accepted. The United Nations is today considered the principal organ for restraining the exercise of sovereignty.
In the United States, the nation (i.e. the federal government) and each state are considered sovereign. Among conflicts in which the concept comes into play are those between the federal and state governments (see states' rights) and those between citizens and either the federal or a state government. Governments are generally held to be immune from suit for consequences of their sovereign acts (those acts the government was constituted or empowered to perform). This "sovereign immunity" must be waived to permit suit against the government. It is also encountered in claims that government officials, in pursuance of their duties, be immune from having to give evidence before a tribunal or inquiry.
See C. E. Merriam, History of the Theory of Sovereignty since Rousseau (1900, repr. 1968); H. J. Laski, Studies in the Problem of Sovereignty (1917, repr. 1968); B. de Jouvenel, Sovereignty (tr. 1957); J. L. Brierly, The Law of Nations (6th ed. 1963); F. H. Hinsley, Sovereignty (1966); A. James, Sovereign Statehood (1986).

Is U.S. Oil Export Ruling a Threat to Magellan Midstream Partners?
Last week, U.S. federal regulators granted two companies permission to export minimally processed condensate, a form of ultra-light oil. Though spokesmen for both the Commerce Department and the White House said there has been "no change in policy" toward crude oil exports, the ruling was widely seen as a blow to refiners and to companies building condensate splitters -- cheap mini-refineries that separate condensate into readily exportable products such as naphtha, kerosene, and gasoil.
Magellan Midstream Partners is one such company. It plans to construct a $250 million splitter that's expected to be operational in the second half of 2016. Let's take a closer look at what impact the ruling may have on its plans, and what to expect from the company going forward.

Impact from export ruling
Magellan announced in late March that it will build a new 50,000 barrel-per-day, or bpd, condensate splitter near its terminal in Corpus Christi, Texas, under a fee-based, take-or-pay agreement with Trafigura AG, a leading commodities trading house. The project will entail construction of more than1 million barrels of storage, dock improvements, and two additional truck-rack bays at Magellan's terminal, as well as pipelines connecting Magellan's terminal with Trafigura's nearby facility.
Because the planned splitter is fully supported by a long-term contract with Trafigura, it won't be affected by the new condensate export ruling, according to Magellan spokesman Bruce Heine. In fact, Magellan actually stands to benefit from condensate exports, because exports would likely lead to greater condensate production.
This could result in greater throughput volumes and revenues for its 100,000 bpd Double Eagle Pipeline system, a 50/50 joint venture with Kinder Morgan Energy Partners that ships condensate from south Texas' Eagle ford shale to Magellan's Corpus Christi terminal. "With the [Corpus Christi] terminal's multiple existing ship berths that can accommodate large vessels, we are positioned to serve the export market if it develops," Heine said.
Other planned splitter projects backed by long-term contracts, such as Kinder Morgan's 100,000 bpd facility near the Houston Ship Channel, should also be safe. The first unit of Kinder's splitter is slated to come online in November, and is supported by a long-term, fee-based agreement with BP . The company said the export rulings would have "no impact" on the facility.
Magellan's future looks bright
With the recent export ruling currently posing no threat to Magellan's planned condensate splitter, the partnership can focus on completing its $1.1 billion of expansion projects planned through 2016. These projects will boost Magellan's exposure to crude oil infrastructure, which is in extremely high demand in the Gulf Coast region due to a glut of crude oil.
Indeed, 75% of the partnership's expansion projects this year are related to crude oil infrastructure. Two of these projects -- the Longhorn pipeline reversal and BridgeTex pipeline JV with Occidental Petroleum -- will significantly boost Magellan's capacity to deliver crude oil from Texas' Permian Basin to refineries along the Gulf Coast.
Not only will the start-up of these projects drive strong growth in fee-based revenues, but it will also boost Magellan's share of fee-based income, because volumes on these pipelines are backed by long-term, fee-based contracts. By year-end, fee-based, low-risk operations should account for 85% or more of the partnership's operating margin. Led by these projects, Magellan should be able to grow its annual cash distributions by 20% this year, and by 15% in 2015, compared to 12% annual average growth since 2001.
Investor takeaway
With no impact from the new condensate export ruling, and with a strong pipeline of growth projects set to drive much stronger distribution growth, Magellan Midstream may present an attractive opportunity for income-seeking investors. However, with shares trading at a price to cash flow north of 22x after recently hitting an all-time high, I would be cautious about buying in now.

CRESTVIEW � Several hundred family and friends, including many alumni, listened Monday evening as the 2013-14 Crestview High School chorus made its debut.
CRESTVIEW � Several hundred family and friends, including many alumni, listened Monday evening as the 2013-14 Crestview High School chorus made its debut.
See a video of selections performed at chorus night here>>
Like Meet the Band Night, the annual introduction of the 125-member chorus is an opportunity to preview music to come.
Choral music director Kevin Lusk � who received multiple hugs from previous choral students during the pre-concert potluck supper � announced two big performances in addition to the annual Christmas and spring concerts.
The much-anticipated Madrigal Dinner, a lavish medieval musical dinner theatre event catered by the school's culinary arts program, will be Dec. 5-7. It is performed every other year.
In April, the chorus will perform at the World Stride Heritage Festival in Nashville, timed to coincide with the national show choir competition at which Crestview's chorus will also perform.
Fundraisers for chorus travel expenses are underway, and advertising opportunities are available for businesses and other supporters in this year's program book, Lusk said.
The mass chorus performance of the "Star Spangled Banner" was a crowd-pleaser because, as one father put it, "it was sung right, not like those Hollywood stars who think they have to embellish it."
The combined chorus also performed the school's alma mater in the round, which brought the young vocalists close to many audience members.
Each of the individual choirs performed selections, including two from "Les Mis�rables," which Lusk called "an homage to the band," as the international musical hit is the theme of the Big Red Machine's halftime show this season.
The Women's Choir's "On My Own" and the Men's Choir's "Bring Him Home" were both delightful, and Chorale's performance of "El Capot�n" was rousing fun.
The two show choirs, the all-women Destiny, sparkling in their tie-dyed T-shirts, and mixed Chanticleer, gave hints of exciting music to come with performances of "Stranger" and "Everybody Talks," respectively.
"We're going to be busy this year," Lusk said. "The kids are doing a pretty good job so far."

Construction works at the Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Market) in Lübeck, Koberg, standing at the front of the Heilig Geist Hospital.
Weihnachtsmarkt has a long tradition in Germany; every year in the Advent time, selected cities turn the state of emergency mode because of all the tourist willing to get in and to enjoy the crowd on the Weihnachtsmarkt. The attractions you can await include:
- muddy shoes (you'd better take your hiking boots with you);
- having your clothes honked up by persons having beneficially used the Glühwein (see ebelow);
- getting rid of your waluables due to all these cutpurses having a cushy number in the crowd;
- demonstration of the German bad taste in form of stupid, more stupid and absolutely stupid Volksmusik and Schlager cannonade on every corner;
- lost crying children at every turn;
- overpaying trumpery at least twice;
- short lesson on differences between "Glühwein" and "Glühwein mit Schuss";
- possible mindlapse after beneficial use of the latter;
- thick head afterwards (due to the Glühwein as well as the permanent noise).
If you think the points above are for you, so you're welcome to the Weihnachtsmarkt. Viel Spaß!
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.

LONDON — Warner Bros.' "The Dark Knight Rises" is already setting records in the U.K. before its Friday release
The BFI London Imax venue announced Wednesday that the blockbuster has already sold 62,300 tickets, grossing more than £1 million ($1.57 million) since going on sale five weeks ago.
The original 43 screenings are now sold out and extra shows are being added.
Advance sales for the new Batman film far surpassed the venue's previous record holder, "Avatar," which sold 47,000 tickets ahead of its December 2009 release.
"The Dark Knight Rises" also set records for biggest first day sales (24,754) and first week sales (38,658).
The BFI London Imax is Imax Corp.'s top grossing site worldwide and is consistently the No. 1 international Imax box office site.
Director Christopher Nolan used Imax cameras to shoot extensive footage for "The Dark Knight Rises," with over an hour of the film using the Imax format.

Last weekend was Septemberfest in Southampton Village, well attended and much enjoyed. Especially enjoyable was the music! I spent part of Saturday afternoon passing out schedule information in front of the Chamber of Commerce, and got to enjoy Nick Kerzner's classic rock and original solo material. Friday's kickoff party featured our old "Rhythm & Twang" favorites The Lone Sharks, and two other favorites were part of the line up on Saturday and Sunday: Mashup band New Life Crisis and smooth jazz Certain Moves. The chowder contest had run out of samples by 1:30 PM, with a closely contested victory declared for a Manhattan-style chowder from Paul's Italian Restaurant (#6 for those of you who had mugs!). The Southampton Center opened with its first exhibition of Charles Addam's work featuring his classic Addam's Family cartoons, and the Maniac Pumpkin Carvers had created a display of all things Addams Family (look closely and you'll see that Uncle Fester, on the left, has a glowing light bulb in his mouth) -- brilliant!
Coming up beginning Thursday, October 10 and running through Monday, October 14, is the Hamptons International Film Festival. Now in its 21st year, The HIFF was founded to promote the vision of independent filmmakers from around the world. It's always a star-studded occasion, drawing local film actors and directors such as Stephen Spielberg, Alec Baldwin, Mercedes Ruehl, Martin Scorcese and Renee Zellwegger, as well as those from Hollywood and abroad. While most of the venues are in East Hampton, there are two screens in Southampton's theatre, as well as Sag Harbor's one. Coolest thing: One of the featured films, Louder Than Words, is inspired by a true story that one of our repeat guests was a part of. They will be staying with us again, and are eager to see how the movie turns out (and see the actor who plays him)!
A big draw on the East End in autumn is agri-tourism; our pumpkin farms, corn mazes, wineries and farmstands are all in high gear. Particularly busy over on the South Fork is Hank's Pumpkintown, located on Montauk Highway in Water Mill, right across the street from Duckwalk Vineyards. Hank's keeps getting bigger and better each year, with pumpkins, slides and all manner of climb-aboard things for the kids, as well as food, apples, and much more. If you're visiting us and aren't planning on sampling either, let us know so we can route you around the traffic!
I'm recovering from foot surgery, so will miss out on the corn maze this year, and miss seeing our guests in the next week or so until I'm cleared for takeoff. Chris is running the Manor with the help of Kristen and Deb while I'm off my feet, so you know you're in good hands!
Quote of the day: It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you watch them on screen. --Anthony Burgess

Alex Steinroeder recorded one of two singles wins for Harvard Saturday (Harvard Athletic Communications).
ITHACA, N.Y. – A day after knocking off archrival Yale in a first-round matchup, the Harvard men's tennis team fell to Ivy foe Cornell, 4-2, on the second day of the ECAC Men's Indoor Championships Saturday. Harvard started the tournament as the No. 1 seed, and the host Big Red held the fourth seed in the event.
Doubles play started well for the Crimson as the top team of Denis Nguyen and Casey MacMaster dominated Cornell's Venkat Iyer and Alex Sidney to the tune of an 8-2 win. The Big Red responded on the third court with Kyle Berman and Sam Fleck teaming to beat Alex Steinroeder and Shaun Chaudhuri, 8-5. The battle on the second court culminated in a tiebreaker, and Cornell's Jason Luu and Quoc-Daniel Nguyen edged Andy Nguyen and Nicky Hu, 8-7 (4), to give Cornell the doubles point.
Steinroeder got Harvard on the board with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Sidney on the third court in singles action, but Cornell's Luu responded with a 6-2, 6-4 win of his own over Hu at No. 5. MacMaster, playing at sixth singles, gave Harvard its second point, taking a first set tiebreaker in a 7-6 (3), 6-4 win over Berman. Iyer proved to be too strong for Denis Nguyen at first singles with a 6-2, 7-5 victory, and Quoc-Daniel Nguyen topped Andy Nguyen, 7-5, 6-3, to clinch the match for Cornell.
Harvard wraps up its stay at the ECAC Indoor event Sunday with a 3:30 p.m. match against third-seeded Princeton.
Cornell 4, Harvard 2
No. 1 Iyer, Cornell def. D. Nguyen, Harvard: 6-2, 7-5

Dozens of advocates for legalizing medical marijuana rallied at New York's Capitol on Wednesday and blamed Gov. Andrew Cuomo for stalling a proposal that's before lawmakers.
They asked Cuomo to support passing the measure before this year's regular legislative session concludes this week.
"I don't understand how a politician who has no medical education or training is the one who's deciding the treatment my son can have or not have," said Missy Miller, whose 14-year-old son Oliver uses a wheelchair and suffers from hundreds of seizures. Certain strains of marijuana that are low in THC, the psychoactive ingredient that gets users high, have received international attention for curbing seizures in children.
"I don't understand how those same politicians hold my son and so many other New Yorkers who are suffering hostage," she said.
Cuomo said Tuesday that even if the bill passes both chambers, he wouldn't sign it unless some of his concerns were addressed, including a ban on marijuana smoking and the inclusion of a five-year evaluation period.
Amendments to the bill a day earlier meant to meet some of Cuomo's objections did not include the smoking ban or the evaluation period.
The bill's sponsors, Sen. Diane Savino and Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, removed three conditions for which marijuana could be prescribed: diabetes, lupus and post-concussion syndrome. Lawmakers also removed the advisory panel that would oversee the program, as Cuomo suggested, and gave more control to the state's health commissioner.
The status of the bill remains fluid as negotiations continue among Cuomo, legislative leaders and the bill's sponsors.
Cuomo has not ruled out issuing a special message that would waive the required three-day aging period for the medical marijuana legislation to come up for a vote, leaving patients and advocates hopeful that some movement on the issue can be made by Thursday.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Late Monday, U.S. Golf Association executive director Mike Davis confirmed to GTC that an announcement regarding long putters and the anchoring of clubs would be made before the end of the year, but hours earlier, he seemed to suggest to the PGA Tour Policy Board a final decision has not been made.
"(Davis) made a big presentation. It was informative," said Davis Love III, one of four player directors on the Policy Board who attended Monday's meeting.
According to Love, Davis outlined the data collected by the USGA and explained that afinal vote will be made by the executive committee in March.
"I don't know what (the Tour) would do," Love said. "I told Mike Davis, 'We are going to have 10 guys who are vehemently against, and then 10 guys who are vehemently for you and then the rest of them are just going to go play.' That's the way it is on any issue."
Love's only concern was whatever the USGA and Royal & Ancient do, they should move quickly and avoid dragging a potential rule change out.
"If they said today, 'We met with the Tour, we're going to change putters,'" Love said. "Keegan Bradley is going to get himself a different (conforming) putter, and he's still going to be a really good putter. He's just going to have to make a change, but you'd rather not talk about it for three years and have it be a distraction."
In July, Davis said any potential change would likely wait until the end of the current rules cycle which runs through December 2015.
The USGA issued a release on Wednesday saying, "It would be inappropriate to comment while our internal review is ongoing. The USGA and the R&A are being very deliberate in their review, and the topic of anchoring remains very much under discussion. As Mike Davis and (R&A chief executive) Peter Dawson have stated publicly, we are still hoping to have an announcement of some kind before the end of the year."

Scandal fans, if you've yet to see Thursday night's episode, "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," be gone with you! Major spoilers are ahead!
The question: #WhoGotShot? The answer? Us, right in our feels.
We were warned not to miss the opening minute of Thursday night's Scandal by its stars and now we know why: Jake (Scott Foley) shot and killed James Novak (Dan Bucatinsky), in order to prevent him from spilling the beans about Sally (Kate Burton) murdering her husband to the public. Publius is down. For good. David Rosen (Josh Malina)? Allowed to live and become Jake's cover-up accomplice.
We chatted with Dan Bucatinsky, the ABC hit's first major death and its only actor to win an Emmy for his work on the show (as a guest star), earlier on Thursday and he was still very emotional over his exit from the show, telling us, "I've had a very hard time. I was very emotional for a couple of weeks."
So how did Shonda Rhimes tell Bucatinsky, who also serves as consulting producer on Grey's Anatomy, James was dying? Plus, who was the first person he called after learning the news? And has he forgiven Scott Foley yet? Read our exclusive Q&A with Bucatinsky for all the scoop of Scandal's shocking death...
PHOTOS: Renewed or canceled? Get the status on over 100 shows
E! Online: Wow, we're still trying to recover from that episode. Dan Bucatinsky: It's intense. It's insane, it's insane. I have to agree with you. I've seen it twice, and I'll watch it again tonight. I'm watching the East Coast feed with Ellen DeGeneres tonight, and I'm hoping that I don't start crying again. It breaks me up a little bit.
When did Shonda tell you the news and what was your immediate reaction? It was in January. What happened was there was a table read for the previous episode that all of us got literally only moments after they finished it, and it was the one that just aired last Thursday. It ended in a shocking way. None of us had any idea that that was coming that two women would wind up shot and then a third gunshot would go off and then black, so it was a little shocking, just in that respect. So all of us were silent. We sat around the table all just looking like, did that just happen? Then Shonda announced that they had no idea what they were going to do. They had absolutely no idea... That's much like the show, those writers, they really come together and break stories based on what they've just broken, beat-by-beat. Different shows run differently. Sometimes there's a very big map and everybody knows where they're headed weeks and weeks and weeks in advance, and on this show, week to week, it's a nail biter for the actors, it's a nail biter for the writers, it's a nail biter for the audience. So we read that and Josh and I were both...for a couple of days, everybody on set had a theory, like, is it going to be you, is it going to be neither of you. Josh was confident it was neither of us. People were like oh it's going to be a third shooter, or someone else is coming to shoot you and Scott is shooting that shooter...
VIDEO: Watch Resurrection's heated showdown in an exclusive sneak peek
Basically, you guys were just like Twitter when they were trying to figure out what was going to happen this past week. Exactly! Twitter now. I mean the theories I'm watching are so much fun right now. But yes, basically it was us on Twitter. It was a little unsettling, and at some point I pulled Tom Verica aside and I said, "Listen, I get it, I completely understand, but if at any point you sense that there is a direction that could either relieve us of our anxiety or prepare us for the worst, I'm begging that somebody let us know." So I think a day or two later, maybe even the next morning, I was driving to Grey's Anatomy actually, and I got a call from Shonda. My heart was in my throat, and I thought, "Maybe she's calling with good news!" So I pulled over, and she said, "We tried everything. We talked about every possibility to try to save James, and we didn't, so James has to die." It was hard, and we talked about it, and she was very generous, and she said it was going to be a beautiful episode and I can read it before the table read, and I talked about how grateful I was for the opportunity to have played the role for as long as I did, and you know, how it reawakened for me this love of acting that I have, in a role that I can't imagine having been given the opportunity to do. It was really a dream come true - not only people's responses to it, and obviously the Emmy and all that, but just getting to work with that group of people. I feel totally blessed. It was hard though. I went through a very long couple of weeks where I probably went through all of the five stages of grief several times.
NEWS: Check out Scandal star Darby Stanchfield's glam photo shoot!
You guys are such a close-knit group, so what was the rest of the cast's reactions when they found out? I texted Josh Malina first, because I wanted him to know that it wasn't him. Then I texted Jeff Perry, and then I texted my own husband, or maybe I called him, I don't know. But I was just shocked. Then...Shonda sent an email to the whole cast. So they all knew that it was coming, but then we read the episode. By that point it was two weeks later. You know we did the table read and then the very next day, we started shooting 3x13...We were finishing shooting 3x13 and people started to find out, so a week later we had the table read for 3x14, and I had read it upstairs in an office by myself first, and tried to get all my cry out, and then we came back to the table read and it was really, really emotional. I don't think there was a dry eye in the entire room, and it was packed. It was tough, but it was beautiful, and we were all a wreck, and then we had the task of having to shoot the episode, so I went through periods of grief about the character and sadness just about the fact--and not to be too actory--but just the sadness about James no longer being...you know, obviously it's not a real character, but there was something about thinking about his clothes and his child and his glasses and his life and that bedroom and all these things that to me over three seasons have become a part of this person, even though they're fictional. That was going away, and it was very sad. Obviously I've tried to think of, "We haven't shot the death yet, maybe I can talk them out of it." So I went through all the stages of grief--denial, bargaining, and finally acceptance. It was very, very hard.
VIDEO: Scandal stars dish on the craziness ahead
Did you have any touching or bittersweet moments with any of the cast members when you wrapped? We did. We shared a lot. Jeff made a speech to the crew that was really, really sweet, and this past Sunday, Scott Foley had what he called his "Guilt Screening." We all watched the episode together at Scott Foley's house, and everybody came. It was just a really sweet way for me to watch the episode, surrounded by my Scandal family, and it was really loving and great, and a lot of people emailed me and I emailed the cast. We had a lot of moments to sort of express to each other how deeply we feel for each other off screen. I've become so close with people I've never even had a scene with. I've never been in a scene with Darby [Stanchfield] or with Katie Lowes, and they're dear to me, and Kerry [Washington] and Tony [Goldwyn], and everybody.
We can only imagine how hard it was for you and the rest of the cast, given how close you are and this was the first major death on the show.We were friends before and we will be friends after, but this particular experience of doing this show together has been very bonding for us, so we've had moments like that as well. But we'll continue to socialize and I'll see everybody and you know, but it's definitely taken me time. I see some of them sometimes outside and I just get choked up, but it's all good. I feel so blessed to have been able to do it, and Shonda was so... she and the writers wrote so well for us and for me, and to be a guest star for twenty-seven episodes in a show like this for three seasons is just a gift.

From a storytelling point-of-view, why do you think it had to be James that died? If you look back and you watch the episodes again, like 10, 11, 12, 13, there was a certain--especially after Cyrus pimped out James and sort of reduced him to just another sort of pawn in what he needed to bring down the vice president--there was a certain realization, I think, that led to James' desperate need to bring justice to the murder of Daniel Douglas. I feel like James' willingness to try anything to do that, in storytelling terms, there was really no way to continue with that level of danger given what was around him and given how many people knew what he was doing and how many people knew he was Publius, there was really no way to get around it without some big, big story move.
Obviously, I could pitch other stories that I think would have been fun, and I'm not sure whether it would be me talking or the actor who wants his job back, so I'm not the objective person that could necessarily answer that question. I do feel like they wrote themselves into a situation that had they not done it, maybe people would have called bullshit, and I think they had to sort of walk the walk and talk the talk eventually, where when people do things that are truly poking the bear, there is a response. I think the how benefits from being the kind of show that will go there, the kind of show where you think this will never happen, but it actually might. I think the knowledge that they're willing to go there is part of what makes it so exciting. So I kind of felt like that's why they felt like they had to do it, but you know, as a writer I would have loved to come up with a million other ways that they could have spared me. But I feel like this is probably the best way to keep audiences invested in the sort of life and death stakes that they want to make sure people feel.
NEWS: Is HBO bringing back Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback?
Have you forgiven Scott Foley yet? Scott Foley has been an absolute dream. We've completely bonded over the experience. That scene that we shot at the end, that final moment of the episode, was midnight to two o'clock in the morning, on a rainy night in LA, on the ground, covered in blood and it was unlike anything I'll ever experience again, and I'll never forget it. I'll never forget him. We're completely bonded over it. Everyone was very sweet, and Jeff Perry and Linda Lowy were standing there when we called wrap that day, which was my final scene, so it's been very supportive and loving but sad. Really just all of us mourning our relationships with each other in real life, even though we're all going to be friends for a long time, but also just the sadness of the character going.
Finally, what do you think James' tombstone would say?Oh, wow. That's really good. I think it would just say "James Novak, father, writer, husband." I don't think he would get too fancy with, like, "seeker of the truth."
To hear more from Bucatinsky, including what's next for Cyrus after the death of his husband and his parting gift for Jeff Perry, check back with us tomorrow morning.

The women are among 160 members of the advisory body.
"The development we are working at must be gradual," King Abdullah said. He recommended that the Council show "realism" in its discussions and allow "reason to prevail in issues [with which] it has to deal".
On 11 January, the King appointed the women, who include university graduates, human rights activists, and two princesses.

The three men are Mamdouh Hamamreh, a reporter for the Al-Quds satellite channel; Samer Hamad, a cameraman for Palmedia news agency, and Abdul-Rahman Younos, a reporter for Al-Quds.com.
The arrests follow the claimed abduction of Mohamed Saba'na, a political caricaturist for Al-Hayat Al-Jadida newspaper, after his return from a ocnference in Jordan.

New Easton Haven Carbon wheels
Promising all-mountain toughness with cross-country weight
Easton's new Haven Carbon all-mountain wheelset builds upon its existing aluminum model with a feathery 375g true UST-compatible carbon fibre rim that brings the total weight down to a cross country-like 1,450g for the pair while supposedly delivering superior impact resistance, durability and ride quality.
Take flight
Billed as "the first carbon mountain wheel built for going ballistic", Easton says the key to the Haven Carbon rim's toughness is its proprietary Armored Ballistic Composite fibre and resin systems borrowed from the defense industry.
Instead of the more common carbon and aramid fibre mix, Easton uses a stronger and lighter carbon and high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) fibre blend that was originally developed by the US military for body armour and helmets. Holding it all together is an extra tough MRES-B resin that has also been rubberised for further impact strength.
Rim dimensions are similar to the aluminum Haven with a 26mm external width and 21mm internal width to better support wide-profile tires, a relatively shallow 22mm depth, and a solid true-UST compatible outer wall profile for easy and secure mounting of proper tubeless tyres.
Also borrowed from the standard Haven are the unique riveted-in threaded nipple inserts that are said to distribute stress more evenly than typical eyelets and allow for a thinner and lighter inner rim wall.
The convertible cartridge bearing alloy hubs – which can be configured for 9mm quick-release and 15/20mm thru-axle up front and 135mm quick-release plus 135mm or 142mm thru-axle rear standards – and straight-pull Sapim stainless steel spokes (which are conveniently all the same length throughout for easier repair) are wholly lifted from the standard Haven as well.
In total, Easton says the Haven Carbon rim is 100g lighter than the alloy version while also lending a more comfortable ride plus bomber durability. In fact, Easton is so confident of the latter that once they become available this summer, every Haven Carbon wheelset will come with a two-year unconditional insurance policy that covers everything imaginable from cased jumps, gnarly yard sale crashes and even absent-minded 'raccidents' so buyers can focus on the wheels' performance instead of worrying about damaging a pair of US$2,300 carbon mountain bike wheels.
Wagon wheelers will be excited to hear that Easton will even offer the Haven Carbon in both 26" and 29" variants.
Not just talk
Impressively, Easton's hype about military defense technology and background isn't just vapid marketing talk. Coming on board about nine months ago as research and development manager was Sayeed Syed, a 30-year-plus veteran of the aerospace industry who was formerly the vice president of composites at Westinghouse and a specialist in ballistics and fibre and polymer systems.
Syed brings with him enviable access to materials, contacts and knowledge in the composites world beyond what many in the bicycle industry can muster along with a background in specifically figuring out how to make composite materials tough and durable (not to mention having Oliver North on his speed dial list and holding the highest possible classified security access for a civilian).
Though even he admits that the ingredients in Easton's new Advanced Materials Systems aren't necessarily exclusive to the company, his experience affords him a more comprehensive knowledge of how those materials can be combined, what materials are available – and who to call to get them – and how they should be processed, engineered and handled to extract the maximum benefit.
Interestingly, Syed says that his new line of work is not only more challenging but also more fun.
"I'm trying to bring aerospace technology to [the bicycle] market," he told us during a visit to Easton's carbon fibre facility in Tijuana, Mexico. "Right now it's all standard materials: everybody is using the same procedure and the same supplier. I'm trying to change the technology to bring in better polymers and better fibres to make things lighter and stronger. [The bicycle composites industry] is mature but aerospace technology is ahead of the game. We want to be ahead of the whole game with systems that aren't even on the market yet."
What this means for the future of Easton – and your future, too
Easton makes no illusion to the fact that the status it once enjoyed in the early days of carbon bicycle components (you all remember the original Monkeylite, right?) has faded a bit but it's now making a more dedicated effort to retake it's "game changing status" with what Syed is bringing to the table.
The Haven Carbon is only the first product to come out of Syed's oversight but product manager Adam Marriott says that an ultra-strong carbon fibre DH-specific Havoc is coming soon – possibly before the end of the year – plus an ultralight cross country wheelset to supplant its current XC One.
Moreover, the new carbon fibre technologies currently in development will also be applied to an all-new range of components though Easton was still very tight-lipped on what that might include or any other specifics.
Either way, Easton's new Haven Carbon wheelset could very well be the product that signals the company's return to dominance in the field and while we weren't to test ride a set during our visit, we'll likely have the opportunity to do so at the upcoming Sea Otter Classic with a proper long-term production test pair arriving shortly thereafter. Cross your fingers.

Part of me wants to be there with a video camera.Part of me hopes that Ronnie's family sets up a bank of concert speakers, blasting Holy Diver, The Last In Line, Sacred Heart, Hungry for Heaven, Egypt... Drown them out in a massive tribute.(Hey, anyone else notice that the ZIP code they hail from is 66604? *cackles madly*)
Because we all know that really Dio is right now rocking hard in Valhalla, and they're in principle against things that are as totally sweet and wicked as that.
We need to get in touch with those Hell's Angel guys that put their motorcycles in between WBC and the funeral.
Ronnie hates prejudice and violence! We need to turn the other cheek on these people that only know how to hate someone they didn't know. We only know how to love someone we know!- Wendy Dio
@Sam - That's why I was thinking about the (admittedly passive-aggressive) idea of blasting Ronnie's own songs in tribute. It would effectively drown out the protesters, if it didn't have them fleeing, and I specifically went for songs with a touch of message in the music.Yeah, I'm one of those weird people that actually reads lyrics.
@Sam - That's why I was thinking about the (admittedly passive-aggressive) idea of blasting Ronnie's own songs in tribute.
Don't care which god you followWhose promises you swallowTime and againWe must meet at the end
We learn slowlyMind control is holyStir don't shake itMove too fastyou'll break it upIncidentalGod is heavy metalSo I know he must need me
Oh, and if you really want to piss off Westboro Baptist Church, donate to Ronnie James Dio's Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund. There's a donation link at his website. His widow, Wendy Dio, is asking for contributions in lieu of flowers and cards. I did my part.
The price of living in a free society is to have to also endure this sort of activity, after all the First Amendment is most vital when protecting speech that is very offensive.
I think the best thing to do with these people is ignore them. Attention is clearly what they want. They'll get theirs in the end.

This candleholder is made from a single block of turned cast aluminium. For the designer it is this detail - which could escape the attention of many - that is the true highlight of this design, since it confers uniqueness on the object and makes it assume the identity of a true mechanical piece, individually worked in the metal shop and finished with mat brushing.
Peter Zumthor was born in Basel in 1943. He is one of the most interesting international architects of the 21st century. Having studied at the Schule fuer Gestaltung in Basel and at the Pratt Institute in New York, he then renovated various protected buildings in the canton of Graubünden, before opening his own studio in 1979. His main works include the Sogn Benedetg Chapel in Somvitg (1988), the thermal baths in Vals (1996), the Kunsthaus in Bregenz (1997) and the Swiss Pavilion at the Expo 2000 in Hanover.

This band has no press
"The Soaring Saxman"
A smooth jazz, funk sound flavored with spices of life. Dave Panico, with saxophone in hand, will move you with a delectable combination of vibrations traveling through the air. Once the first note is played, there is no denying the energy that permeates the room. Dave Panico takes your senses to a new realm. A distinctive quality comes from his music and reaches down to the very core of your soul.
Influenced by jazz greats, Benny Goodman, Pete Fountain, Big Band sounds of the 1940's like Tommy Dorsey, along with current influences Warren Hill, Dave Koz, Richard Elliot, to name just a few, Dave Panico was left with a deep impression of this genre at a very young age. Picking up the Saxophone in high school and never putting it down again. Adding clarinet and flute to his instrument ensemble, he began to play out in various bands and laid down recordings in the Chicago area. While living in this area, Dave Panico was honored to have a seat in the orchestra and studio band of Willow Creek Community Church. It was here that Dave Panico took his love of ministering and combined it with his passion for music. "Dave Panico was a talented, enthusiastic, and treasured soloist and member of the horn section team at Willow Creek. He always brought his very best as a musician to any situation, along with a true servant's heart for the Church and God's Kingdom.", states John Carlson, Music Director, Willow Creek. Taking that passion to the road, Dave has played in many venues to include various coffeehouses, churches, outdoor festivals and in the media of television and radio.
Currently residing in Kansas City, MO, Dave Panico, along with his wife and three children, continues to "woo" the audiences with his fine instrument of brass. Having received Instrumental Artist of the Year Award at the 2007 Kansas City Christian Music Awards, along with receiving a nomination for the acclaimed Instrumental Artist of the Year Award in 2008 from IndieHeaven-Momentum Awards, Nashville, TN, Dave Panico is making a "sound" for himself. CCM magazine recognized the talents of Dave Panico and asked for his expertise with a unique article having him iterate about particular brand instruments that allow his sound to come out "smoothly".
With a gift of engaging the audience and a vibe that is purely contagious, Dave Panico releases each of his performances early on to allow the Lord work through them. "I love to let the Holy Spirit take control while I play." states Dave. His live performances include the talents of many other musicians, which create a design consisting of an extensive range of styles. This mixture is one that relates to all age groups.
Dave Panico's New Smooth Jazz CD "JoyRid'N" is now available to the public at large. So if you are needing a night out on the town, want music or live entertainment for that special party or function, or just want to spin the smooth jazz from Dave Panico's current cd, Joy Rid'N, please view the music, tour and booking section of the website. His music and heart will take you to places you've never been, whether in person or in the comfort of your own home. Dave Panico's hope is to share his gifts with you soon!
