This two-night Carnegie Hall run of concert performances of Samuel Barber's "Antony and Cleopatra" comes at the darkest time in New York City Opera's 65-year history. Due to management upheavals and the financial crisis, the company's entire 2008-09 season consists of these two nights, and its future is in real jeopardy. But this week's hiring of George Steel as NYCO's new general manager and artistic director, plus this first-rate concert, provide a glimmer of hope.
When Barber's opera had its world premiere at the opening night of the new Met at Lincoln Center in 1966, it proved an unmitigated disaster. Franco Zeffirelli's huge production was deemed impossibly unwieldy, a fact borne out when its star Leontyne Price got stuck inside a pyramid. Critics had a field day attacking both the production and the work itself.
Over the years, Barber radically revised the opera, shearing six characters and nearly an hour's worth of music. This revised version is the one usually heard today in the opera's sporadic performances.
Popular on Variety
Barber's unjustly maligned score is taut and thrilling, but unfortunately most of the melody lies in the orchestra, with its voluptuous textures and seething tension. The vocal lines of the singers often border on the atonal, sitting awkwardly on Shakespeare's high-flown, archaism-packed phrases. Shakespeare's language is also at odds with Barber's mid-20th century musical style, which sounds a lot like a great film score by Hugo Friedhofer or Bernard Hermann.
But with a cast as compelling as this one, a good case can be made for "Antony and Cleopatra."
In the title roles, baritone Teddy Tahu Rhodes and soprano Lauren Flanigan pack plenty of star power. His charisma and resonant timbre has propelled Rhodes' rapid rise in the opera world. His is the ideal sound for this virile warrior torn between the call to battle and his consuming romantic passion.
One of our most talented singing actresses, Flanigan can take what is essentially a light voice and boost her volume to compete successfully with Barber's large, loud orchestration. One may miss the sensual spinto ripeness Price brought to the role, particularly in her upper register, but Flanigan's dramatic instincts held the audience riveted. She was able to spin out gorgeous, long-lined phrases effortlessly on a single breath, riding over orchestra, chorus and massed soloists.
Antony's cohort Enobarbus was sung elegantly by bass-baritone David Pittsinger, taking a few days off from his current duties filling in for Paulo Szot in Lincoln Center's "South Pacific." The short but crucial role of Caesar was taken by budding heldentenor Simon O'Neill, whose penetrating timbre made up in heft what it lacked in lushness. While O'Neill's sound is not altogether pretty, it is distinctive and exciting on its own terms.
Mezzos Laura Vlasak Nolen and Sandra Piques Eddy handled their small roles as Cleopatra's handmaidens with real flair. Both sounded plummy and sexy, and both looked stunning onstage.
Orchestra and chorus are in constant competition with the singers in this opera. Conductor George Manahan and chorus master Charles F. Prestinari managed the rare feat of keeping everyone in the right balance without ever missing the strong sense of drama and even hysteria that runs through the score.
NYCO has performed a kind of resurrection on this long-ignored work. Let's hope the company's next successful resurrection will be its own.

Thornton Utz: Condensed in '62
Thornton Utz, who has been the subject of a week-long series of posts here, enjoyed experimenting in his art. For this particular story, however, he mostly played it straight. That's fine... it gave him the opportunity to demonstrate his excellent draftsmanship, compositional skills and colour sense. Consider the scene below, for instance. There's not much less interesting than a room full of grey suits sitting and talking... but Utz manages to make even this subject pleasant and interesting to look at. Everyone is there own person, they all have individual, expressive body language... and in spite of choosing a straight-on 'static' camera angle the over-all composition is compelling.
And there isn't actually a grey suit in the room, is there?
No, there's nothing dreary about any of these illustrations. Thornton Utz lived in Sarasota, Florida, a land of sunlight and bright colours. He probably didn't have to look very far to find inspiration for the palette he employed on this job.
And - thank goodness - Utz found an opportunity to draw one of his trademark gorgeous girls. One of Thornton Utz's closest friends and neighbours was Al Buell, who did quite a lot of pin-up art during his career. I don't have any examples of Thornton Utz doing pin-up art, but he certainly had the skills to do so if he had wanted to, and I believe he did some pin-up art for Esquire magazine.
Two other aspects of Thornton Utz's skills are demonstrated in these last two pieces: one, his sense of humour and ability to create realistic art that is amusing without becoming caricatural...
... and two, his passion for experimentation. Notice how Utz has incorporated realism, humour, and some interesting stylization in this final piece. Ernest W. Watson, writing in American Artist magazine about Thornton Utz said, "One is quickly impressed by Utz's inventiveness and ingenuity. He is always doing the unexpected in his painting and nothing daunts him."
Utz himself put it this way: "I dislike duplication. I am always experimenting - it's part of my work. I'd rather do the whole painting over than follow a tried-and-true pattern."

Great stuff! Thanks for your continued wonderful site.ReplyDelete
On a related note, I have a whole pile of Readers Digest art that I ripped out a pile of RD books awhile back. The artwork was amazing, as you have frequently shown. I'm wondering if anyone has written about the great artwork in RD books in the 50's and 60's -- seems like that was the golden age. Apart from your site, I can find nothing about it.
Thanks Anonymous; I think you may be right - I don't recall coming across any other sites that showcase these forgotten treasures. Over the last few years I've written extensively about the art of RDCB, and the monthly magazines and RD's main competitor during that era, Coronet magazine. Rest assured there will be much more RDCD art and info coming in the near future.ReplyDelete

Harper's walk-off blast lifts Nationals in lucky 13th
Desmond homers, drives in three; Span adds four hits to extend streak
WASHINGTON -- On Wednesday, Nationals manager Matt Williams fielded a question from a reporter that inquired if sending a slumping Bryce Harper to the Minors was a possibility. The first-year skipper was frank in his response, furiously defending his young star.
The message was clear and quashed any doubt: Harper isn't going anywhere. Not now. Not ever.
One day later in the series finale against the Mets on Thursday at Nationals Park, Harper rewarded Williams for his impassioned support. With the game tied at 3 in the 13th inning and Ian Desmond on first base, the left-handed slugger plastered a 1-0 fastball from reliever Carlos Torres into the left-field seats for his second career walk-off home run, propelling the Nationals to a 5-3 victory.
Harper said he knew it was gone as soon as he made contact, a sensation that's been foreign to him since he was activated from the disabled list on June 30 after missing more than two months with a torn left thumb ligament.
"I haven't felt like that in a while," said Harper, who entered the contest hitting .218 since his return. "I hadn't gotten extension on a ball in a pretty long time."
Harper raised his hand in the air as he rounded first base and watched the ball sail over the wall. The relief could be felt around the stadium. He was mobbed by teammates at home plate and received hugs from Denard Span, Jayson Werth and Desmond. Not one, but two Gatorade baths followed in the postgame celebration outside the Nationals' dugout.
Everyone in the clubhouse knows how important that one swing could be as the National League East pennant becomes less of a distant goal and more of a legitimate reality.
"He needed it," reliever Craig Stammen said. "That was a big hit and that's what we got him on the team for."
The Nats struck first in the second inning when Desmond deposited a full-count fastball from Mets starter Jacob deGrom into the visitors' bullpen in left-center field for a two-run homer, his 18th of the season. The long ball snapped deGrom's homerless streak at 67 1/3 innings, a Mets franchise rookie record.
The Mets cut into the Nationals' lead with a run in the third inning. deGrom reached on a single and advanced to second on a sac bunt from Eric Young Jr. before Daniel Murphy doubled him home with a gapper to left-center field that just skipped past a diving Span, who went 4-for-6 in the contest and extended his on-base streak to 33 games.
Desmond, who finished with three RBIs, recovered Washington's two-run advantage in the fourth, driving in Adam LaRoche for the second time on the day after the first baseman drilled a one-out ground-rule double to left. Desmond followed with an RBI single, and LaRoche slid safely into home after an aggressive send from third-base coach Bob Henley.
"I'm kind of in a good little sandwich there with Rochie and finally Bryce behind me," Desmond said. "I'm able to kind of free up a bit and get some good pitches to hit and get on base for the kid."
After surrendering a run in the third, Nationals starter Jordan Zimmermann dealt three straight scoreless innings through the sixth. But singles from Wilmer Flores and pinch-hitter Kirk Nieuwenhuis put runners on first and second with one out in the seventh, and manager Matt Williams opted to pull Zimmermann in favor of reliever Drew Storen.
Storen was unable to get out of the jam, though, as both inherited runners crossed the plate to tie the game at 3.
"[Drew's] saved me a bunch this year, so it's not like I can be really mad at him for that," said Zimmermann, who finished with three earned runs on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings. "He's been pitching great and he's going to be there the next time out when I need him."
deGrom was solid through six innings, surrendering three earned runs on seven hits and striking out four. However, it was just the second time since June 21 that the rookie right-hander allowed three earned runs or more in an outing.
"My offspeed wasn't very good. I kind of struggled with my command," deGrom said. "I was throwing strikes, but I wasn't locating as well as I wanted to. It was a mental battle today. I kept us in the ballgame and we tied it up, and just couldn't win it in the end."
Both bullpens locked down after the seventh inning, and during a stretch from the eighth inning into the 12th, Nationals' relievers retired 14 straight batters.
Stammen contributed to that impressive run. He entered the contest to start the 11th and threw three scoreless frames. It was a bounce-back performance from the right-hander, who surrendered five earned runs over three innings in his previous two outings before Thursday.
"It was working. That's my bread and butter," Stammen said of his sinker, which had consistent and significant movement throughout his performance against the Mets. "When it's working, I usually have decent success. For the past couple of weeks, it might have been struggling, but you just have to keep going after it."
After Stammen ended the 13th by knocking down a sharp comebacker from Eric Campbell and throwing to first, Desmond led off the bottom half with a walk. Harper then connected on his fourth home run to give the Nationals the victory and 4 1/2-game lead in the NL East heading into a three-game series at the second-place Braves this weekend.
"We're all pulling for him," Zimmermann said of Harper. "Hopefully he gets out of this little rut he's in. And hopefully this homer helps and he stays hot going into Atlanta."

Slave Quarter at Carter's Grove
Update: Carter's Grove will be closed for an assessment of the property, grounds, and programs beginning January 2, 2003. Interpretation of rural slave family life will relocate to the Historic Area.
Visitors confront chattel slavery and the black experience in rural 18th-century Virginia at a compound of four rough wooden cabins at Carter's Grove called the slave quarter.
Tidewater staple crop farming, especially the cultivation of tobacco, required intensive labor, and in Virginia hands were scarce. By the 1660s, slave ships were landing captive Africans in force to supply plantation needs.
The importation of slaves continued into the 1720s--especially from today's eastern Nigeria and western Cameroon. By 1765, most Virginia slaves had been born in the colony.
Tax records show Nathaniel Burwell, who came into possession of Carter's Grove and its 1,400 acres in 1771, kept 47 slaves there in 1783. Archaeological excavations in 1970 discovered evidence of slave housing--mainly cellar pits used for storage of food and personal items--between today's reception center and the mansion. Investigation the following year led to reconstruction.
Two double houses, a corn crib, a single-family dwelling, small garden plots, and chicken pens and runs all are arranged about a small courtyard. Roughly framed and fashioned of unhewn logs chinked with mud, the buildings are roofed with tarred clapboards. Stark contrasts to the stately mansion beyond, the dwellings are, nevertheless, much like those the vast majority of Virginians, white and black, slave or free, occupied in the 1700s.
Like most slave owners, Burwell allotted each adult slave a peck of corn each week, clothing, tools, and bedding as well as shelter. Hunting, fishing, gardening, chicken raising, and bartering supplemented the quarter's food supply. Slaves also might barter or sell items fashioned in their hours outside the fields. A black foreman seems to have lived among them and supervised them.
The exhibit opened with the goals of exploring black and white relations in the American colonies, the economic forces that encouraged the creation of the slave system and sustained it, the institutionalization of racism, daily slave life, African cultural backgrounds, the development of African American culture, and slavery's long-term effects.
Interpretation focuses on the last two decades before independence, stressing the richness and complexity of African American culture and discussing the slave's meager possessions. There is, as well, emphasis on the development of extended families and the sense of a slave community that embraced other quarters.

Plate after plate arrived at my table from a stylish kitchen called Tishreen: beautiful salads of tabbouleh, fresh greens tossed with honeyed walnuts, a pizza of grilled onions and tender chicken pulled from a mosaic-tiled wood oven. I couldn't help but think that I could be in San Francisco. Or New York City. Instead, I was in Nazareth — Jesus' hometown.
Most visitors to Israel come to revel in biblical lands, to trod paths followed by Jesus or Abraham, to witness the glorious heart of so much history. Few give much thought to the food. But while I was there last winter to experience all the country had to offer, I was surprised to find gourmet meals and wine tasting rooms that were, well, divine.
Travel advisories were less than glowing when I arrived in the politically upheaved country (see the sidebar for information on the State Department's most recent travel warning), but it hardly felt conflicted during the sunshine-filled morning I visited Ein Karem. In biblical days, this place was a small country village "in the hill country of Judah." Today, it's more like an upscale Jerusalem suburb, filled with artists' galleries, sidewalk cafes and a music center.
John the Baptist was born here, and besides its churches named after him, the area is famous for Mary's Spring, the one where Mary was said to have drawn water while visiting her cousin Elisabeth. These days, I thought, the two women probably would have met at the town's chocolate shop. Or they may have chosen the beautiful brasserie a few steps down the street from the well, where my latte was served with a decorative swirl in the foam and a croissant arrived warm and fresh from the oven.
In Jerusalem, I discovered a well-made cappuccino or a good "Cup'o'Joe" (a real Israeli chain) is actually incredibly easy to find. Israel has a big coffee culture these days, nothing like the 1970s when Nescafé was the norm.
Still, not even a big dose of caffeine prepared me for the barrage of senses I encountered upon passing through one of the 16th-century gates into Jerusalem's Old City, with its kaleidoscopic warren of winding streets, tiny shops and cafes. Exotic smells, strange languages, chaotic color — while astonishing to me, it is just a part of life there.
During lunchtime, residents and tourists settled into plastic chairs at bare plywood tables. Longtime family-run places like Abu Kamel Restaurant (the word "restaurant" is used loosely) served up delicious hot falafel balls, freshly made pita, hummus and accompaniments on mismatched china.
That day I also followed the Way of the Cross to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, visited the Western Wall, and the Temple Mount and eventually ended up back in the throbbing present of traffic and technology, outside the gates again.
Open-air market for foodies
The restaurant where I ate dinner that night couldn't have been more different from my noontime experience.
Arcadia was subdued and elegant with white table linens, matching china and candlelight. I sipped wine, slipped a spoon into creamy risotto flecked with vegetables from the chef's garden, ate calzones with soft cheese scented with sage, then sunk my fork into flaky grilled fish.
The restaurant is near the city's popular Mahane Yehuda market, which has undergone some major renovations in the past few years. Efforts to attract more boutique and upscale shops — and shoppers — have also made it something of a "culinary" tourist draw. "Bakery walks" and chocolate, wine and cheese tours are all now part of its attractions.
Still, it's not yet so gentrified that it has lost its authentic appeal. Especially if you go on a Thursday or Friday before Shabbat. That's when you'll be among crowds of Jews, Christians, Muslims and tourists perusing piles of pastries and produce, drinking glasses of fresh pressed pomegranate juice, selecting from wooden crates of spices and sampling the halvah always being handed out near the giant Halvah Kingdom stall.
Walking the narrow aisles with the conglomeration of aromas and colors then, I found vignettes of scenes appearing like in a movie — with a soundtrack to match. Two men with yarmulkes on their heads and arms wrapped around each other laughed over some private joke, a street performer strummed a guitar, vendors called out prices and a trio of young boys debated the best after-school sweet. The place is a visual melting pot.
My trip also took me out of Jerusalem — to the mysterious Masada, to the ancient mosaics of Tzipori, to the Dead Sea, to the Carmel Market in Tel Aviv — and to the shores of Galilee, where I found even the touristy St. Peter's fish lunch well prepared, delicious and fresh.
The freshness of the country's food everywhere is what perhaps surprised me the most.
The breakfast buffets at the Dan Hotels in both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv were nothing short of amazing. An abundance of beautifully displayed food stations were set up in the dining rooms. They offered dozens of fresh salad toppings, separate boards for "white" cheeses, bowls of yogurt-cheese balls with hyssop (an herb from the mint family) and olive oil, platters of fish, breads, plus an entire collection of housemade confitures: apricot, fig, fennel, beet and "young carrot."
Vineyards in the Holy Land
The day before I headed back to Tel Aviv, I followed curving roads with vineyards on either side and toured several boutique wineries. At the small but beautiful Odem Mountain Winery, they also sold jars of local jam and honey produced nearby. The place would fit right in — if you were in the Napa Valley of California.
While a decade ago people laughed if you mentioned Israeli wine, today's technology has vastly improved the quality. At the nearby Golan Heights Winery, the wines' awards from international competitions can attest to this statement — and a tasting there can confirm it. An expansive visitor center, which is landscaped with scented lavender, rosemary and thyme, showcases all its labels.
On my last night, I stayed at the Hotel Mizpe Hayamim. Bordering Lebanon, the place is part hotel, part spa, and part organic farm. The region around it has had its share of controversy and conflict. But within the farm grounds, it both looks and feels like an oasis. Gardens, lemon trees, chickens and a barn where goats are raised, surround the hotel. Its shops sell kosher jams, breads, cheeses and wine made on the premises; its Muscat Restaurant serves up meals prepared with the farm's seasonal bounty.
After dinner there, I sat out on my room's balcony overlooking the valley below. I listened to the quiet, gazed at the stars strung out in the sky and sipped a glass of wine which seemed as complex as the country that produced it.

I don't attach any significance to Barack (or Barry) Obama's high school basketball career. However, several items in David Maraniss's account of that career are interesting.
First, although Obama attributed his lack of playing time to not "play[ing] like white boys do," there appears to be no merit to his complaint.
The notion that [Obama] was hampered in his progress because his style was more playground-oriented, that he played "black" and the coach coached "white," distorts the dynamics of his own game, the performance of the other players and the coaching philosophy of [Chris] McLachlin. The reality was that Barry, as skilled and intelligent a player as he was, could not stand out in this group. He had good court sense and an ability to slash to the basket, but was an unreliable outside shooter and not much of a jumper, contradicting the stereotype of "black" ball.
Decades later, a story emerged that his nickname was Barry O'Bomber, playing off his last name and a propensity to fire away from long range, but few team members recalled that nickname and said the real gunner was Darin Maurer, who was better than Obama but barely got more playing time. Maurer never started at Punahou but went on to play Division I basketball at Stanford as a walk-on. Maurer was . . . a caucasian; race had nothing to do with it. . . .
"He loved basketball so much, I think a lot of things have been blown out of proportion," said Lum [a high school teammate]. "Anybody wants to play. His style of play was flashy, but it was okay. McLachlin didn't really put a damper on it. If you did a behind-the-back pass, McLachlin would frown on that, but when it came down to playing time, he [Barry] wasn't one of the five best." In fact, Lum and other teammates pointed out, Barry was only occasionally considered one of the top eight, the number of players McLachlin usually used in his rotation, following the substitution pattern of John Wooden, the brilliant coach at UCLA.
Second, after his team won the state championship, Obama, who had played only after the team took a massive lead, turned into a quote machine for a reporter from the school newspaper:
Barry wanted to be part of history. He wanted recognition. He wanted to be recorded in this glorious moment. He had seemed so cool and laid back — never panicked, never fazed — but now his burning will was on rare display. "One thing that stuck in my mind was the extent to which Barry. . .was in my face giving me the equivalent of sound bites, giving quotes left and right," Egami [sportswriter for the school paper] recalled decades later. "He made sure he got something he said in the paper. Such good stuff, I couldn't leave it out, though kind of schmaltzy. That night I knew there was a side to him that was scary. This guy is ambitious. He wanted the quote, and he got it."
Third, Obama's account of his high school basketball days in Dreams From My Father includes false information (is based on "composites," I mean):
In one of the scenes with Keith Kakugawa, the character he called Ray in his memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama broached the subject of basketball style, complaining that he did not get the breaks of other players on the team because "they play like white boys do" and that was the style preferred by the coach. Since Kakugawa was two years ahead of Barry, if this conversation took place he would have had to have been a sophomore, a fact that raises two contradictions. First, as a sophomore he was a long ways from making Varsity AA, and second, the head coach he was complaining about, Chris McLachlin, was on temporary leave during Obama's sophomore year and did not return until the following season, when Kakugawa was gone.
In other words, Obama wrote an account of a conversation with Kakugawa that didn't happen, in which he supposedly raised a complaint of race-based bias that didn't exist.
What a guy.
As I said, I don't care about Obama's basketball career. But it would have been nice if, years later when he wrote his autobiography, he hadn't misleadingly twisted that career to conform to a hack racial paradigm.

Osman Topcagic is the Director of Bosnia and Hercegovina's Directorate for European Integration. He is the country's top civil servant in charge of European integration and a tireless advocate of the European agenda. He says:
"More Europe in the region means more stability, more economic prosperity, more jobs… All parties support the European integration process, and the public is very much in favour, 80 percent or more support the process." (See www.esiweb.org, The Adriatic push for enlargement.
Osman Topcagic was born in Sarajevo. His mother came from an old Sarajevo family: her father was a merchant who traded with Vienna, Budapest and Istanbul and owned a big house opposite the library, where Osman's mother still lives. Osman's grandfather owned a lot more property around town, but it was all confiscated by the communists.
Osman went to school at the First Gymnasium, the best school in Sarajevo. Osman's family was religious, but – this being the Tito era – not openly so. Like many seven year olds, Osman became a member of "Tito's Pioneers", Socialist Yugoslavia's equivalent of the Scouts. At 18 he was proposed for membership of the Communist Party, but refused. His teacher understood, he says. In the 1971 census, the first in which he participated, Osman described himself as Yugoslav; later on, however, he started calling himself a Muslim.
Osman studied mathematics at Sarajevo University. His first job was at the Metallurgy Institute in Zenica. He later returned to Sarajevo, where he did NCR computer programming for big projects. His job took him all over Yugoslavia: to Belgrade, Pristina, Istria, and Zagreb.
Osman recalls:
"I got married in 1980. We rented a nice apartment. It was a time of decent living standards. I had a car and we could travel. We had holidays in France and Italy. I travelled a lot on business, to Germany and the Netherlands for example. There was social equality, quality education and health insurance. I was in favour of these things. We were worried about what would happen when Tito died. We asked ourselves: 'Will there be war? Will the Russians come?' We were all in favour of defending Yugoslavia.
In 1991, when the war began in Slovenia and Croatia, I didn't believe it would happen in Bosnia. I was involved in big projects on the Yugoslav level. The Croats said it would come. I said everything was fine here. I was working at the UNIS institute. UNIS was a big Bosnian company.
At the time of the referendum in Bosnia, in March 1992, I was offered a big job in Slovenia. I hesitated. The weekend of the referendum we thought of going to Maribor in Slovenia. After the referendum the barricades went up. My daughters were eight and ten years old. I suggested they leave and go to Croatia, which they did in May. But I wanted to be here.
Bosnia was about to be an independent country and we wanted to know what we could do for it. I was not in the frame of mind to move. I did not realise it would be so bad. My family stayed in Croatia until 1993, when the Croatian-Bosniak war broke out. They then left for Sweden and ended up somewhere above the Arctic Circle!
My job in Sarajevo was to save UNIS' computers. We had a new $1m computer and the UNIS towers were burned, but we managed to save it. I was also trying to save data. We were trying to keep working as normally as possible, but there was not much we could do.
Of course I felt very Bosnian and Sarajevan then. My sister was killed in September 1992 at the door of her house. She was giving food to the dog. In February 1993 my mother was wounded and my young niece was killed. It was really a time of complete destruction and 1993 was a time of no perspectives. It was a disaster, because we were also at war with the Croats.
In mid-1993 I got a job, running the computers at the Ministry of the Interior. Then I was moved to Foreign Affairs. In Sarajevo we were only 30 in the ministry. I stayed in Sarajevo until 1998, when I became ambassador in London. Then I went to Brussels for a year.
When I was a child, I sometimes had the opportunity to go and play in the garden of Tito's villa in Stojcevac with some of my friends. It was very luxurious, which was not so common in the late 1950s and early 1960s. There was me - a Muslim, a Serb, one Jew, one Roma and one Montenegrin. That was typical for the time.
Today, I like to go out and drink coffee with my friends and chat with them. Since the war, though, Sarajevo is not as ethnically diverse as it was. It has not returned to its former state. But in other ways it is more interesting than it was, because of the embassies and international organisations. Now it is a European capital. Bernard Henri Levi, the French philosopher was once asked what Europe should look like in the future and he said it should be like Bosnia, 'which is a little Europe in itself'. I like that very much."

In preparation for the upcoming CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna) meeting (15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties, CoP15) that will be taking place 13 – 25 March 2010 in Doha, Qatar, IUCN and TRAFFIC have released the results of their Analyses of the Proposals to Amend the Appendices. See here for the table with the Analyses.
The Analyses are prepared by IUCN and TRAFFIC as an objective assessment of whether the proposals meet the trade and biological criteria necessary for the proposed amendment to the listing of particular species within the Appendices of the Convention.
For CoP15, all forty-two proposals before the Parties to CITES were reviewed, although two are awaiting the outcomes from a meeting of a Panel of Experts. The results are posted here on this table.
The table includes the text of each proposal for CoP15 and alongside it is the associated IUCN and TRAFFIC Analyses. TRAFFIC is further making recommendations on whether each of the proposals should be accepted or rejected, based on the findings of the Analyses. These can be found on the TRAFFIC website.
IUCN and TRAFFIC would like to gratefully thank a number of CITES Parties who have contributed to this project, without which it would not have been possible to complete the project. The following have given support: European Commission, France, USA, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Monaco, Belgium, Finland and Denmark.

Colorado Supreme Court agrees to hear appeal of congressional redistricting
The Colorado Supreme Court today agreed to hear an appeal by Douglas County and Republicans of a lower court's decision on congressional redistricting.
In an order today, the court said it would hear oral arguments on the case at 11:15 a.m. Dec. 1 in the Capitol's Old Supreme Court Chambers.
Each side will have 30 minutes.
Douglas County and a group of plaintiffs representing Republicans announced Wednesday they were appealing Denver District Judge Robert Hyatt's decision last week to use a Democratic map setting new congressional district lines.
Republicans said the map improperly divides Douglas County, keeping Highlands Ranch and southern Aurora in the 6th Congressional District and putting rest of the county in the 4th Congressional District with the Eastern Plains.
Meanwhile, Republicans argued, the map also illogically takes Larimer County out of the 4th Congressional District and puts it in the same 2nd Congressional District with Boulder.

"Michael's guitar work tends toward the spare and tasteful until the situation calls for heat, and then he has plenty to spare." - Rob Schwinnn
— Manager, Occaisionally Blues
" There's a reason that J. Michael King and Joe Jones of the Catfish Po' Boys are playing happy hour at Cribb's Kitchen Thursday night. And that's because they play, well, happy blues. Technically, the duo bills themselves as Piedmont Blues with a caveat or two. Piedmont Blues has a really great sense of humor," said J. Michael King, who plays guitar and sings. "It's also more related to old time and bluegrass than the kind of blues you'd hear out of Chicago or Mississippi. It's more acoustic. It's a happier sound. It tends to be not as dark. Its music "from this area" played "since whenever" by "obscure characters," added King. It's a "gentler, more guitar-oriented" form of blues that, in the hands of the Catfish Po' Boys sounds at once universal and unique to the individual players. You'll find Piedmont blues artists playing songs that you might associate with the Grateful Dead or a jug band," King said. "Joe Jones and I, we do a bizarre mixture of stuff. We do covers. We do a lot of originals. Some of it's jazz-based blues. Some of it's Piedmont blues, Chicago blues. We do all kinds of blues. The Catfish Boys' repertoire consists of songs that have "stood the test of time" and songs that they "like," regardless of era or genre. We don't play anything that we aren't crazy about," King said. "We don't do songs just because they are popular." With startling ease, the duo can slide from a Jimi Hendrix cover into an Olde Time number you may not have heard before and, after a bit of stage banter, into a Dylan tune. This is blues, steeped in the history of the genre and the region, but the Catfish Po' Boys have a way of reminding us that history goes well beyond yesterday or "way back when". When Jones and King take the stage, the blues are very much alive and ready to sing a song and tell you a tale or two. But, and this point can't be stressed enough, it's not the material the Catfish Po' Boys play that makes them special; it's the energy they put out. Joe is extremely charismatic," King said. "He's a great bass player. His vibe is huge. It's just the two of us, but as one fella at the bar said, 'You make a lot of noise for just a coupla boys!' Jones' stage presence, his smooth versatility and startling, highly nuanced electric bass playing adds both gravitas and an impish mischievousness to King's very different but no less charismatic demeanor. Michael always has a light-hearted, warm presence about him when he's playing," said Greenville-based singer-songwriter Darby Wilcox. "I always go out to see him play. He's got a great sense of humor. Michael, he's a good soul. So is Joe Jones. And you can really see it when they're playing. And they really deliver." King's voice is only as gravelly as it needs to be, only smooth when it has to be. He glides from sweet to stern, from a gentle growl to a gritty drawl. All the while, his thumb makes those steel strings ring. This will be the duo's Spartanburg debut, though both J. Michael King and Joe Jones, who also plays with blues legend Mac Arnold, are well known around the Upstate. For the last five years, the Catfish Po' Boys have been working in Greenville's West End pretty much non-stop, especially at Smiley's Acoustic Café. Joe and I have been playing together for more than 15 years now," King said. "We had a band called Jellyroll Antenna, which was a blues trio that toured the Southeast for a long time. We only had one hit and it was in England. The band broke up before we knew it was a hit." Piedmont blues, catfish blues or happy blues, call it what you will. At Cribb's Kitchen they call it happy hour, and they serve "mystery beer," house liquor, $2.75 drafts, ½ priced wine by the glass, and the best blues north of Mac Arnold's farm. " - Jeremy Jones

Max Barry has been posting his weird improvised titanium-body-parts epic Machine Man on his website, a page at a time, and now a production company has optioned it. Mandalay Pictures will develop the story and then shop it to studios.
We wrote about Machine Man a while back, and its odd story of a guy who literally reinvents himself by lopping off body parts and replacing them with machine bits intrigued us with its blend of Tetsuo and slapstick. So we're intrigued by the idea of a Machine Man movie, and it's interesting that Barry has sold the movie rights before the book comes out in print (in 2011) and, for that matter, possibly before he's even finished writing it.
According to Variety, Barry's novel Company was already optioned by Universal. And his classic novel Jennifer Government was picked up by Warner Bros., with George Clooney and Stephen Soderbergh producing. (Although Barry says on his blog that the Warner Bros. deal "didn't work out," sadly.) I can literally think of no other novelist whose works I'd be more excited to see filmed. Okay, maybe Jim Munroe. But that's it. [Variety]

Portraits (Arizona)
Florida Baptist Convention
Western Recorder (Kentucky)
A Cross-country partnership
with double the blessings
By Kay Harms
TUCSON, Ariz. (Portraits) -- When church planter Gary Monroe leads Lifework Church's first preview service on Easter morning, he'll know there is a church full of people in Jackson, Tenn., praying for his new congregation in Tucson. In fact, they've done more than pray.
Englewood Baptist Church in Jackson has mobilized multiple mission teams to Arizona in the past two years to come alongside existing ministries and to help facilitate church planting efforts. According to the congregation's outreach pastor, David Taylor, the people of Englewood have developed a passion and burden for assisting Christians who are trying to reach the lost in Arizona.
The connection between Englewood Church and Arizona Southern Baptists began when David Holmes, an Englewood church member who also coordinates Arizona Southern Baptists' mission partnership in the Caribbean, introduced the idea to Taylor. Previously the missions-minded congregation focused most of its North American outreach efforts and resources on Montana. With their goals in that state accomplished, the church began to pray for God to open another door for ministry in a pioneer state.
"We wanted a place where we could reach out to a largely lost population and introduce them to God's kingdom," Taylor says. "We also wanted a place where we could get multiple groups of people in our church involved from different areas and ages."
And they have done just that. Thus far, missionaries from Englewood have included groups of adults, teenagers, senior adults and men. Teams of senior adults, college students, ninth and tenth graders, and adults will come to Arizona in 2014 to help Monroe launch Lifework Church in the Star Valley community of Tucson.
Brian Hedstrom, a trucking company administrator in Jackson, participated in the church's first mission trip to Arizona in July 2012. Besides helping with a VBS and canvassing neighborhoods for several church plants, Hedstrom and the other missionaries became aware of some of the physical plant needs at Rio Vista Center in Phoenix. The group painted, repaired holes in the walls and did some rewiring, but they realized there was much more to do.
So in March 2013, Hedstrom helped lead a construction team of seven men, returning to Rio Vista with the financing and manpower to replace the building's plumbing and to connect it to a sewage system, retiring the insufficient septic tank that had required monthly flushing.
Asked why he was willing to use his vacation weeks to labor in the Arizona heat, Hedstrom says he sees it as an opportunity for his family to fulfill the Great Commission, noting that his wife, Lanae, sacrificed by staying home with their children while he served.
"We've lived in the upper Midwest and now we live in the Bible Belt," says Hedstrom,"and I know that most of the West is unchurched. It's a different type of sharing your faith than here in the Bible Belt."
Hedstrom isn't the only Englewood missionary to receive a blessing from serving in Arizona. Outreach pastor Taylor says members of the church have gained every bit as much as they've given by resourcing, praying for and serving alongside Arizona Southern Baptists.
Englewood plans to continue its partnership with Arizona Southern Baptists for at least three more years, potentially five.
"Serving in Arizona has been a huge blessing to our people, because believers in Arizona have really impacted our church," insists Taylor. "We see people in Arizona reaching out to a people who are harder to reach, and we admire that. And their passion and hard work inspires us to do the same here in Tennessee."

Missionary calling leads
to new Orlando church
By Barbara Denman
ORLANDO (Florida Baptist Witness) -- Pastor Andrew Oates believes if the Apostle Paul were to start a church today, Orlando -- one of the world's most visited cities -- would be a destination of his church-planting missionary journeys.
"If God calls us to reach the world and the world is here, then God is calling us to plant churches in Orlando," said the pastor of Redeemer Church.
With more than 50 million visitors each year and with the second highest population growth in Florida, the region composed of two million people is desperately in need of churches, Oates contends.
Following God's call, he moved to the region specifically to plant a church.
Located in an affluent Winter Garden suburb, the three-year old church plant is surrounded by more than 60,000 homes.
"Redeemer was started in Horizon West, a 23,000 acre special planning area of Orange County," explained Mark Weible, director of church planting for the Greater Orlando Baptist Association. "The population of the area was estimated at just over 4,000 people in 2005 and is expected to grow to as many as 63,000 people by 2030. The area is in need of several new multiplying churches in order to keep up with population growth."
"We could plant 20 churches here and it is still not enough," concurred Oates.
The church was planted in 2010 with a mission to have members actively involved "in sharing Christ with our neighbors, our friends, Orlando and the world," he explained. "It is not the church's purpose to make disciples. It's the people's responsibility to make disciples. We are on this journey together."
"Andrew thinks like a missionary," said Weible, "He is skilled in community exegesis. As any pastor knows, proper Biblical exegesis is needed to effectively teach the Bible. Likewise, missionaries understand that they need to research their communities to discover how to present the never changing message of the Gospel to an ever changing culture."
Redeemer began with a small nucleus of Baptists meeting together in living rooms and praying. Six months later, the group numbered between 50-60 members, had outgrown the homes where they met and began to search for a more permanent meeting space.
The gregarious pastor recalled that the church had $6 in the bank, but church members were challenged to give sacrificially. They eventually began renting a store front facility on Winter Garden-Vineland Road which snakes behind the Disney world resort properties.
The facility was originally retrofitted as a church for another denomination. Redeemer remodeled the facility with a warm and inviting charm and large areas for members to gather.
During the first year, the Florida Baptist Convention provided the congregation with $2,000 a month to underwrite the new church start. That amount was expected to decrease to $1,000 the next year, but the church determined they did not need the financial subsidy continued and believed it would better benefit another church plant.
In three years, the church grew to 200 in attendance, but a conflict developed within the congregation that resulted in 60 members leaving. In one Sunday attendance dropped from 200 to 140.
The church split was painful, said Oates, but helped the congregation better "define who we are and what we are about." Ultimately, he said, the church became healthier as a result of the parting of ways.
Attendance has nearly grown back to the level it was before the split.
The church, with its contemporary worship style, conversational style preaching, and warm glow of candles, offers members a Lord's Supper observance each week as a means of recommitting their lives to Christ.
"We believe in a huge God who wants to move supernaturally among His people," Oates said. "We are not here to consume but to be consumed."
The multicultural and multigenerational congregation includes members from England, India and Puerto Rico, resembling the Orlando community where members live, the pastor said.
David and Gerrie Osbourne were looking for a church that would also appeal to their grandson, "teach the Bible as the inspired word of God and that God is the center of our lives. This church is doing this," he said.
"Redeemer has given us a church family," David Osbourne observed.
The church, he continued, is reaching people who are "looking for something to hold on to and must decide if they are building their house on rock or sand—broken people who now want to reconstruct their lives on rock."
Al Delara said he had a deep emptiness in his life, when he and his family found the Redeemer church while walking in their neighborhood. He now defines that void as the "need of Jesus in our lives. We needed to be filled."
He was spiritually saved and baptized at the church. The pastor and staff demonstrated their care and concern for him. "This is an amazing place. Everyone treats you as family."
"I am a regular person and I fall at times, but this church catches me," he said. "This place has changed our lives."
Redeemer Church is partnering with the North American Mission Board to provide on-the-job training for future church planters. In this collaboration, Mike Bard who serves as the church's children minister is applying real-life experiences to church planting principles.
When it starts the new church, Weible said it will come from a strong lineage of multiplying churches. "We soon see a third generation church plant in the area."
As church members follow the course set by the apostle Paul, the missionary journey in Orlando -- the destination of the world—continues.

Kentucky WMU hopes to fill 5,000
buckets; bring comfort to dying
By Robin Cornetet Bass
LOUISIVILLE, Ky. (Western Recorder) -- Christopher tried to be polite. He tried to sit on the edge of the bed when visitors entered his small, mud home, but after a few moments his efforts proved too exhausting and he lay back down.
Like nearly 23 million other people living in Sub Saharan Africa, Christopher has been infected with HIV -- and he now is showing the advanced stages of AIDS.
"He looked weary, just weary," said Joy Bolton, the executive director of Kentucky Woman's Missionary Union.
Bolton recently took a 12-member team to South Africa to work with Tabitha Ministries who, along with Baptist Global Response, is reaching out to meet the needs of those infected by HIV/AIDS. Team members from Kentucky had the opportunity to deliver the few remaining hospice kits to bedridden individuals in Sweetwaters Township near Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
Each BGR hospice kit consists of a five-gallon bucket packed with items intended to make life a little more comfortable, such as clean linens, towels, gentle soap and new socks. Also included is lip balm for chapped lips -- a common sign of infection -- and bendable straws, so the infirmed can more easily ingest medicines and vitamins with water. For caregivers, each bucket contains a box of latex gloves, fingernail clippers and a cleaning brush.
While the items in each bucket are "things that most of us take for granted," Bolton said, "to those in extreme poverty and too weak to work, the items are a treasure."
Kentucky WMU has set a goal of collecting 5,000 buckets this year and plans to kick off the effort at their annual meeting April 4-5 at Central Baptist Church in Winchester. Bolton said participants are encouraged to bring completed buckets or items for buckets and help fill two shipping containers with 1,500 completed buckets. Before heading to Houston for shipment, Bolton said there will be a blessing prayed over the buckets at the conclusion of the meeting.
'I was sick and you visited'
As Bolton sat on the bucket she and others on the team brought to Christopher, she presented him with the gospel using an EvageCube. Christopher silently watched from his bed as Bolton flipped through the images of Jesus hanging on a cross and His defeat over death.
"We have an obligation to minister to people in need," Bolton said. Then paraphrasing Matthew 25:35-40, she added, "'I was sick and you visited me.' That's what happened that day. Jesus was in that room."
Lisa Crenshaw, WMU director of Nelson Baptist Association, had a similarly moving experience when she delivered a hospice bucket to Mavis, a 39-year-old mother with two young daughters.
Mavis had spent the last three years of her life in bed suffering from the advanced stages of AIDS. A year ago, she had a stroke and lost her ability to speak.
As Crenshaw watched Mavis's wounds being cleaned, the Sunday School teacher from Vine Hill Baptist Church in Shepherdsville, began to talk.
"God brought me all the way from Shepherdsville—all the way from the United States -- to bring you the good news," said Crenshaw. "If you died today, do you know where you would go?"
Mavis gestured down with her thumb.
Crenshaw told Mavis that she also has two daughters and somehow, Crenshaw said, that resonated with the dying woman. As Crenshaw shared the gospel, she said, "You could feel God's presence was so strong. She had been witnessed to many times, but this time she got radically saved."
When asked where she would go after accepting Christ, Mavis this time pointed up with her thumb and mumbled something Crenshaw said sounded like "hallelujah" as a tear fell down the woman's cheek.
"We were so excited about her accepting Christ we almost forgot to give her the bucket," Crenshaw said. "You think you are going to be the blessing (when you are faithful to God's call), but it's you that really receives the blessing."
Herb and Wanda Edminster are coordinating the BGR Bucket Project in Kentucky and said the effort is part of a five-year commitment by the Kentucky Baptist Convention to partner with BGR in Sub Sahara Africa.
"These buckets will not end the HIV epidemic in Africa, but they will give patients and their families the realization that someone cares enough for their suffering to make this contribution," said Herb Edminster.

Rays announce Minor League staffs for 2014 season
Mottola named hitting coordinator; Montoyo enters eighth season as Durham manager
ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays have named their Minor League on-field coaching and medical training staffs for the 2014 season.
Chad Mottola highlights the changes as he joins Tampa Bay's staff in the role of hitting coordinator.
Mottola played parts of five seasons in the Major Leagues and will replace Matt Quatraro, who joined the Indians' Major League coaching staff. Mottola spent the 2013 season as the Blue Jays' hitting coach after serving in the same capacity at Triple-A Las Vegas in 2011-12. He joined the Blue Jays' organization as a coach in 2007.
Charlie Montoyo will begin his eighth season as manager of Triple-A Durham and his 17th managing in the Rays' organization. Last season, he led the Bulls to the postseason for the sixth time in seven seasons, capturing the Governor's Cup for the second time during his tenure. Montoyo enters the 2014 season 55 wins shy of Bill Evers' Bulls franchise record of 613 career managerial victories.
Durham pitching coach Neil Allen and hitting coach Dave Myers will return, as will athletic trainer Mike Sandoval. Conditioning coach Bryan King joins the Rays' organization after five seasons as the Blue Jays' Major League strength and conditioning coach.
Brady Williams will manage Double-A Montgomery after spending last season with Class A Advanced Charlotte and the previous three as the manager of Class A Bowling Green.
Pitching coach R.C. Lichtenstein and hitting coach Ozzie Timmons will return to the Biscuits, as will athletic trainer Kris Russell.
Jared Sandberg has been tabbed to manage Charlotte, which will be his seventh season in Tampa Bay's system in a coaching or managerial capacity. Sandberg managed Bowling Green last season, and prior to that, he managed Short-Season Hudson Valley for three seasons.
Pitching coach Steve Watson will begin his second stint with the Stone Crabs' staff after spending last season with Hudson Valley and the 2011-12 seasons in Charlotte. Coach Joe Szekely will return for 2014, as will athletic trainer Scott Thurston.
Michael Johns is the new manager at Bowling Green after spending last season with Hudson Valley and the previous three with Rookie-level Princeton; this will mark his seventh year in the Rays' organization. Pitching coach Bill Moloney will return to Bowling Green after spending last year with Charlotte, while coach Dan DeMent will join Bowling Green after serving the previous two years as a coach in Hudson Valley.

Satisfaction Survey: Airlines, Fast-Food Joints Less Despised
Jun 21, 2012 5:00 AM PT
One would almost think we have entered a stage of customer service nirvana: Two industry categories not ordinarily associated with high levels of customer service satisfaction -- airlines and fast food -- have garnered relatively good scores in a new American Customer Satisfaction Index report.
The operative word here is "relative," though. The airline industry's score of 67 is the best it has received in a decade, but considering the scale is 0 to 100, there is plenty of room for improvement.
Another first for the ACSI is the tied score of 80 between sit-down chains and fast food. Usually sit-down chains lead, but over the last year their score dropped by 2.4 percent while fast food chains rose 1.3 percent.
A Closer Look
Scratch behind these numbers, as well as the ones ranking the individual companies in each category, and the reasons for them become clearer. The airline industry, for example, got a boost in its customer service ranking because it pulled up an abysmally low score it received from business travelers in 2011 -- it went from 61 to 66 in 2012.
Leisure travelers remained relatively the same at a score of 71. In general, airlines remain in the bottom three among the 47 industries measured by ACSI, along with subscription TV service (66) and newspapers (64).
Also consider the fall of Southwest, an airline that has been a perennial favorite of travelers. It dropped to 77, second now to JetBlue, after 18 years as the No. 1 airline with a score of 81.
"It is notable that they not only declined but by a significant margin as well," Forrest Morgeson, director for research at American Customer Satisfaction Index, told CRM Buyer.
"The best explanation for this is its recent merger with Air Tran. What we typically see in the wake of any merger of two companies is a drop in customer satisfaction, usually due to glitches in operations or services."
Last year, for example, Delta's score tanked after its merger with Northwest. This year, it has rebounded by 16 percent to 65 -- which is still low, but no longer last place, as it was in 2011.
Cheap Is Good
An increase in perceived value, along with an improvement in quality, is what pushed the fast food category up the ladder, Morgeson said. In some cases, value -- that is, low prices -- outweighed the importance of quality.
Papa John's, the leading provider in this category, rose 5 percent to 83, followed by Little Caesars, which rose 2 percent to 82.
An 83 is a good score for any fast food restaurant, Morgeson said. "Typically, fast food restaurants will see a strong relationship between value for money and satisfaction, and pricing will be more significant than quality alone."
Papa John's has customers who are a little more value-sensitive than the industry average, he said, noting that Papa John's quality score is slightly down this year, but its value portion is up. "It really is a value-driven establishment, and the change in value is the main explanation for the change in satisfaction."
Papa John's says both played a role in its reaching the top spot in its category.
"For Papa John's, quality is a way of life," spokesperson Tish Muldoon told CRM Buyer. "Our score is a testament to our franchise and our focus on delivering a superior quality product with excellent service."
One to Watch
One brand that Morgeson plans to watch carefully in the next surveys is hotel chain Starwood, which dropped 5 percent to 75. "That is a big drop, taking it from near the top of the category to close to the bottom."
Unlike the other examples, it is difficult to put a finger on why Starwood would plummet, other than the fact that it operates so many brands. "We will definitely be watching to see if it continues to drop or not," Morgeson said.
The ACSI's June report covered airlines, hotels, full-service restaurants, fast food chains, consumer shipping, and the mail services of the United States Postal Service.

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
Our faith is based on the faith of the apostles and on that of the early
believers. They knew each one of these realities and at the end believed
in Him completely. Others thought that they were crazy but some came to
believe because of their testimony.
The author of the Acts of the Apostles today tells us: I dealt with all
that Jesus did and taught until the day he was taken up, after giving
instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
He presented himself alive to them by many proofs after he had suffered,
appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
This is one of the primary witnesses to the Resurrection of Jesus. You and
I must examine such testimony and decide if we believe it or not. Lots of
us believe, but not very profoundly. The invitation is to let the reality
of faith transform us entirely. It is not magic. You and I must come to
know the Lord Jesus through what has been written about Him and through
what is handed down in the Church about him.
In the depth of our hearts we long to see the Lord. We long to meet Him
personally and to let His love transform us. Sometimes fear holds us back.
Sometimes a healthy skepticism is part of our lives. Yet over and over we
are invited: cast your cares on the Lord and He will support you. Trust
in the Lord and do good.
The Letter to the Ephesians today tells us that God the Father has placed
all of creation in the hands of the Lord Jesus. This repeats what we must
come to know from the depths of our being: Jesus is Lord, Jesus is God.
The Gospel of Luke today recounts the Ascension of Jesus. The disciples
are filled with joy and delight, even as they miss the Lord. They have
trusted in His word and know that He must return to the Father so that the
Holy Spirit will come and guide us in all things.
Let us ask today for this gift of the Holy Spirit to be present in our
lives in such a way that we are completely transformed in the mystery of
faith and walk each day in the path of the Lord. Christ is risen! Christ
is ascended! Come, Holy Spirit.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

Our floor insulation is supplied as a 25mm polyurethane board that is to be suspended below the floor boards with the use of insulation clips. The unique insulation clip has been designed to enable insulation boards to be installed easily and rapidly between timber joists without the need for nails, screws, or battens. They provide a way of securing the insulation with as little fuss as possible, and holding it firmly in place. Cut insulation boards to fit tightly between the floor bearers. Push the clips into the edge of the insulation at 1000mm intervals along the long edge of the board, with the flat edge of the clip sitting on the face of the board. Fit the insulation tightly between the bearers, and push down so that the base of the clip is level with the face of the floor bearer.
Please note: If you have already built your product and wish to purchase floor insulation, you will need to take up the floor boards in order to fit it. This is not possible on DualTherm/TripleTherm Log Cabins

Lorenzen soaking up first Spring Training experience
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Reds pitching prospect Michael Lorenzen's career has seemingly been moving at light speed. For his first-ever pro Spring Training, the 22-year-old Lorenzen is in the big league camp as a non-roster player.
"It's been exciting, that's for sure," Lorenzen said on Sunday. "The Reds have put me in a really good position. I'm grateful so I'm going to give them the best of my ability and put 100 percent into everything they tell me to do."
Lorenzen was the 38th overall selection in the competitive balance portion of the first round in the 2013 Draft. He pitched at four different levels last season and reached Double-A and then learned how to become a starting pitcher in the Arizona Fall League after the season.
"The biggest thing is just learning how to be a pitcher and not just go up and throw," Lorenzen said. "I think it's really good for me to be in a clubhouse like this where you have guys like [Mat] Latos, [Tony] Cingrani and [Mike] Leake. All of these guys have so much knowledge. They've been pitching their whole lives and I've been pitching for two years."
Throughout high school and his first year of college for Cal-Fullerton, Lorenzen was an outfielder. He added pitching his sophomore year in 2012 and became the team's closer.
"Everybody knew I had a good arm, but I never pursued pitching," Lorenzen said. "We thought that if I closed at Fullerton, we had a better shot at winning. I told them I would do it. It ended up working out."
A two-pitch pitcher as a college reliever, Lorenzen began adding secondary pitches since turning professional. He developed his changeup in the Minors last year while posting a 3.00 ERA in 22 games. This spring, he is working on a slider.
"I've been working with Cingrani at playing catch and making my slider more consistent," Lorenzen said. "He learned one too last year and it's fresh in his mind. We were playing catch today and it felt way better."
Lorenzen admitted the speedy transition from college player to professional and to a starting pitcher was draining. He recharged his batteries for a month and a half and resumed throwing on Jan. 1, working out at the facility owned by his agent, Scott Boras, with Major Leaguers Jered Weaver and Gerrit Cole.
"I've been able to come back nice and refreshed," Lorenzen said. "I feel like a freshman in college again here. I'm wide eyed. These are guys I looked up to last year. Now I'm in the same clubhouse with them."

BRANDT, the professional agriculture company, is going to Brazil. And going big.
Today, BRANDT announced the formation of Brandt Brasil Serviços Profissionais em Agricultura Ltda. Known as BRANDT do Brasil and headquartered in Sao Paulo, the entity will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Brandt Consolidated, Inc. and the focal point for BRANDT's growth strategies in Brazil. To mark the announcement, BRANDT has teamed up with Turner Scott Motorsports and Brazilian driver Miguel Paludo for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Chicagoland Speedway on September 13, 2013.
In its 60th Anniversary year, BRANDT has established BRANDT do Brasil to build its business in the high-profile agriculture country.
"Over the last half-century, Brazil has become a global leader in agriculture production," said Rick Brandt, President and CEO of BRANDT. "Brazil, along with a handful of other countries, is a key growth area as we continue to focus on international expansion. Teaming up with Miguel is a perfect way to introduce BRANDT do Brasil as we tap into local passions for motorsports and connect with the agricultural community."
BRANDT is the primary sponsor of the No. 31 Turner Scott Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro with Justin Allgaier in the NASCAR Nationwide Series and has also made an appearance in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series with Ryan Newman in 2011.
"Brazil plays an important role in global and U.S. agriculture," said Brandt. "Brazil is the third largest agricultural exporter in the world behind the U.S. and E.U. and serves as a growing market for U.S. agriculture exports. We can bring our proprietary products and knowledge into Brazil to help increase production. Our nutritional products are the perfect fit for the diverse ag markets of Brazil."
"I could not be more excited about the opportunity to run BRANDT do Brasil on the No. 32 truck in Chicagoland," said Paludo. "I have seen the passion and energy that BRANDT has put into its motorsports program with Turner Scott Motorsports and Justin Allgaier, and I know that I am very privileged to become a part of that. I'm very proud to be representing BRANDT do Brasil. A lot of people think of Brazil as beaches and big cities, but agriculture plays a huge role in many parts of the country, including in the south where I grew up. Chicagoland is BRANDT's home track and they always have a huge number of guests supporting our team at the racetrack. I don't think there would be anything more special than to go to victory lane in front of BRANDT while representing my home country."

Millions of Miles
I chose this name for many reasons. One of our children's names is Miles (duh!) but this blog is not all about him. It is about all of us. We are all in this together. I think that "Millions of Miles" represents how far we've come as a family and how far we've yet to go. We'll always be on the continuum of that journey- with some behind us and so much ahead of us. I think that name represents that.
So much of my heart will always be with the orphans of Congo. There are nearly five million orphans still in Congo that need families. My baby used to be one of those. The new name honors the millions of orphans, just like my Miles, that are still there...waiting... I see those children's faces in my sleep. I stare at their pictures. I don't want to forget to do my part to continue to advocate for them.
With the new name, will come a few changes. We'll be getting a new look ( a little face lift of sorts) with our new name in the coming days so stay tuned...

I can't believe you are calling me out on the carpet...
It was in France is all I remember - he broke the guy's nose with an upper cut during a scrum. I remember it distinctly as the commentators predicted that we would take care of business before it happened.
"Winning" may not have meant them dominating on the score board - the run of the game was in their favour and it was about 20 minutes in.
And this is what 20 years ago. I am surprised I remember this much.
And I know you know your rugby and you know that Richard Loe is capable of this.
I suspect it was this game
The record shows a front rower being replaced - It lists the replaced player as a three and Loe would have packed down against the 1 - so can't answer that part.

BUCKEYE, ARIZ.: Authorities in a Phoenix suburb say they�ve arrested a man who�s wanted for armed robbery in Ohio.
Buckeye police say 53-year-old Samuel Culver was taken into custody Wednesday.
Officers were called about a suspicious vehicle and encountered Culver outside a home.
He told police that he would go into the house and get the owner of the vehicle.
Police say a records check was conducted and it was discovered that Culver had two felony warrants for armed robbery in Ohio.
They say Culver refused to come out of the house and a SWAT team was called in to negotiate with him by telephone.
He was later found in the attic and arrested.
Police say Culver is awaiting extradition to Ohio. It was unclear Thursday if he has an attorney yet.

text: Friday, June 17, 2011 Policy Statement Defines PT Role in Concussion Management Because concussions are complex injuries, a team of multidisciplinary health care providers is in the best position to evaluate and manage a patient with concussion, noted the House in adopting a position on concussion management. Physical therapists (PTs) are an integral part of such a team, the House said, and the new APTA position, The Physical Therapist's Role in Concussion Management, will help association members as they advocate for legislation and practice initiatives that recognize the PTs' role in the evaluation and management of concussion. The position provides inclusive language that focuses on the decisions to remove an individual from, and return him or her to, activity. The impetus for this motion came from a policy statement passed adopted by APTA's Board of Directors earlier this year in light of the considerable amount of public policy being considered involving concussion management. As of February, concussion-related legislation had been introduced in more than 20 states, enacted in at least 10 states, and introduced in the US House of Representatives.[RC 19-11]
