PortMiami Eyes Expansion With Cutting-Edge Carnival Terminal
Cruise Line & Cruise Ship Carnival Cruise Line Patrick Clarke March 14, 2017
Less than one week after Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. broke ground on its new state-of-the-art cruise terminal at PortMiami, a port official has revealed that Carnival Cruise Line is in talks to build an impressive terminal of its own.
Speaking during a panel discussion at this week's Seatrade Cruise Global convention in Fort Lauderdale, PortMiami's deputy director Kevin Lynskey said the port is in talks with Carnival to potentially construct a new terminal capable of accommodating a 6,000-passenger ship.
Lynskey oversees cargo and cruise contract development at PortMiami, as well as finance, architecture, engineering and planning.
"It makes total sense that Carnival would want a new terminal following new Miami port developments from competitors," said TravelPulse cruise expert Jason Leppert. "MSC Cruises is one and Royal Caribbean International is another, specifically in service of what will be the largest cruise ship in the world in the Symphony of the Seas."
"Carnival has its own growing vessels with greater needs into the future," added Leppert.
Royal Caribbean's record-breaking Symphony of the Seas will be delivered in April, 2018 and begin sailing out of the cruise company's new PortMiami terminal during November 2018. The 170,000-square-foot "Crown of Miami" terminal is expected to cost in excess of $200 million and will be the port's seventh terminal when completed next year.

Royal Caribbean said it will be the most innovative cruise facility in the U.S; The potential addition of a new Carnival terminal down the road would only solidify PortMiami's status as the Cruise Capital of the World.
In addition to Carnival and Royal Caribbean, PortMiami is the global headquarters for Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

Introduction: Indestructible Animal
This is a little animal I made out of a rock!! It is waterproof, fireproof, crash-proof, drop-proof, shock-proof, freeze-proof, crush-proof, radiation proof, freeze-proof, and even bulletproof. This has many -proofs so it will last for thousands and thousands of years. Hope you like it and pls VOTE!!!! Thx and check out my other instructables. :):):):):) This is an instructable that I made that tells people how to make little pet rocks!! Mainly for younger kids. Made mainly out of paint, rocks, felt, and glue!!!:):) The reason for making this little pet rock was that almost every year when me and my family would go down to the mountains we would all paint rocks that we would find all over the woods!! My grandma started this many years ago!! But I took it one step farther and decided to add felt and string to make the little pet rock look more realistic!!! I knew mostly how I was going to make this guy, but I did get a little creative and gave my best work!!! This little pet animal is currently in my little sisters room completely how it was when I first made it!!!:):) Very indestructible. This time I made it in my basement, but other times I made it at the mountains in Pennsylvania. This creation brought back many memories of years before. I learned that no matter how old you are you can never be too old for pet animal rocks. If I were to do this again I would use cooler colors of paint. Thanks everyone on the Instructables team I love this website!! I've even told my friends about this site. That must mean that this site is great!!! :):):):)
Step 1: Step 1
Gather up all supplies needed: Newspaper Paint (any color) 2nd color of paint(different color) Hot glue gun Paintbrush Little triangle pieces of felt (pink if possible) Little twigs(everywhere outside) 1 in piece of thin wire Rock(small) Check picture for help.
Step 2: Step 2
Apply a coat of paint to your rock. Paint your whole rock, the bottom of the rock is optional. Let rock dry, if you would like you may apply another coat of paint to your rock
Step 3: Step 3
After your rock dries get your 2nd color of paint and give your rock eyes. The eyes can be big small, circular or triangular it's all up to you. Let eyes dry before you advance to step 4. Or you can carefully proceed and try not to touch the wet eyes.
Step 4: Step 4
Plug in your hot glue gun. Get your 1 in piece of thin wire and bend it in half to form a nose for your animal. Use a small dab of hot glue to glue your nose to your animal. Keep hot glue gun plugged in.
Step 5: Step 5
Give your animal a mouth with the same color paint you used for his eyes. Make the mouth however your prefer.
Step 6: Step 6
Hot glue the felt ears to your animal. And hot glue the twigs to your animal as well. Still keep your glue gun plugged in.
Step 7: Last Step
Lastly, hot glue the string tail to the back of the rock. Your indestructible animal is now complete. Don't forget to UNPLUG your hot glue gun!!!!!! Pls VOTE for my instructable, and thx if you VOTED!!! :):):):)

Identifying Health, Educational, and Social-Emotional Needs and Potential Intervention Strategies for Children with Cystic Fibrosis First Entering Elementary School
Document Type

Kern, Lee; Manz, Patricia; Power, Thomas
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common, life-threatening genetic disorders impactingchildren (Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, n.d.) and, although rare, has a broad impact on children's health, educational, and social-emotional functioning. Current interventions for children with CF lack comprehensiveness, do not occur in the school setting, and fail to employ systems collaboration. Further, interventions have taken a more reactive rather than proactive approach to meeting children's needs. This investigation addressed current gaps in the literature by identifying children's health, educational, and social-emotional needs and potential intervention strategies to be employed as children with CF first enter elementary school. The study utilized participatory action research methods (e.g., focus groups, individual interviews, advisory panel) to gain information from parents and caregivers of children with CF (n = 11), school personnel (n = 15), and CF health care professionals (n = 14) and to collaboratively identify intervention strategies perceived to be beneficial, acceptable, and feasible for implementation. Results indicated primary areas for intervention to include nutrition (e.g., malabsorption), health-related treatments (e.g., medications), educational difficulties (e.g., falling behind), disclosure, social support, and mental health (e.g., anxiety, depression). Comprehensive strategies (e.g., formalized plans, use of technology, multisystemic collaboration) to address primary concerns are discussed. It will be important for schools, families, and health care professionals to collaboratively plan to meet the comprehensive needs of children with CF in schools by increasing communication andeducation across systems.

WILL Young became the first official injury of this year's Strictly Come Dancing after pulling a muscle mid-routine on tonight's live show.
The Leave Right Now singer and professional Karen Clifton were performing a hyperactive rendition of Rock and Roll classic Rock Around The Clock.
However, after performing the routine, Will doubled over in pain and announced to presenter Tess Daly he had pulled muscle.
Worried Tess asked if he needed medical attention, to which he originally said yes - but then he changed his mind and decided to wait until deliberations and scores were handed out before he sought help.
However, despite Will's injury, the couple achieved a respectable fourth place on tonight's leaderboard - bagging 27 points for their energetic performance.
Will was taken to get medical help and wasn't seen on screen again for the remainder of the episode.
Karen later tweeted praise for her injured dance partner, and said: "Super proud of
@willyoung .. smashed the jive and kept going like a true pro!! Love that fight in him"
Latest from TV & Showbiz
Saturday night's episode of the show was not short of it's break out moments - starting only two dances in when judge Bruno Tonioli laid into fellow judge Craig Revel-Horwood and declared his judgement of Olympian Claudia Fragapane's dance with partner AJ "b*****ks".
Tess Daly later had to apologise for the star's sweary outburst which occurred before the watershed.
Greg Rutherford also sent the judges pulses racing following his routine - with the playful judges being won over by his "attractive" bum more than they were his performance.
However, Ed Balls was left hanging on to his place on the BBC1 show after coming in last for his Charleston to The Banjo's back in town by Alma Cogan.
The energetic dance routine brought out the playful side of the former Chancellor, and was a fan favourite of tonight's show - but earned the lowest points from the judges.
Catch the results of tonight's show on Strictly Come Dancing, Sunday on BBC1.

2011 Zerran Tinto Montsant
About the Wine:
It reveals abundant kirsch, lavender, black raspberry and dusty, loamy, earthy scents intermixed with notions of spring flowers and blackberries. Bright violet color. Aromas of cherry, redcurrant, and potpourri, with a mineral top note. Spicy cherry and earth flavors show a sexy floral nuance, strong minerality and very good focus. Finishes on a bitter cherry note, with strong cut and lingering spiciness. There is not any oak evident in this dense effort. Its completeness and overall equilibrium are impressive, and this great value should drink well for 5-6 years, possibly longer.
About the Vineyard:
Production from the Rueda vineyard (38.3 acres) owned by Jorge Ordonez was begun in 2011. This well-known white wine appellation sits on the border of the province of Segovia. The 2010 and 2011 Zerran come from a vineyard planted at 1,500-1,800 feet altitude. They are blends of Grenache, Mazuelo and Syrah whose vines were planted between 1934 and 1942.

Guest blog: "Daryl" answers the Canadian's questions about guns
All of that being said, I suppose I've been baited. But my response is no doubt more worthy of a front page post than any sarcastic drivel that might be drummed up on nothing more than ignorant assumptions and generalizations.
I'd like to clear up this gun issue once and for all:
I carry a gun because I have an exceptionally small penis and the gun, in my subconscious and elsewhere, helps compensate for that fact. I carry a gun because I'm frightfully scared of the dark, of bogey men, of lightning, of my own shadow, and of anything that moves under its own power or some mystic power that I'm not able to fully understand due to my undying faith in God's dominion. I carry a gun because I'm wholly impotent and the gun reminds me of a hard penis. I carry a gun because my mother didn't breast feed me. I carry a gun because I have violent and delusional tendencies, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and virtually every sexually transmitted disease known to man. Syphilis can make a man think all manner of strange thoughts. And it can make strange monsters appear in the closet. Properly armed I am able to vanquish these beasts, unarmed I would be entirely prone to their wrath. I carry a gun because I'm a snake-charming hillbilly with no more interest in the world than killing me some communists, terrorists, hippies, democrats, and innocent school children.
Oh, wait, no, those are the reasons for which I carry a gun...according to those whose pre-conceived notions of guns and America fit neatly into their banana hammocks (in case you're wondering, that's an American name for those absolutely ridiculous swim suits you men insist on wearing. My god, cover up some, nobody wants to see that unkempt afro between your legs!).
Actually, I carry a gun because I'm a Jew living in rural Oregon, among other things. I carry a gun because I handle large amounts of cash during certain times of the year. I carry a gun because I live in one of America's methamphetamine capitals (tweakers are unpredictable). I carry a gun because the last thing that I want to do is finish some poor deer off with a golf club, hammer, or whatever other blunt instrument I might have in my car (they don't often die immediately when hit on the highway). I carry a gun because areas that I walk, hike, fish, and sleep aren't always safe (because of cougars, bears, or even gang-rapists (which has happened on more than one occasion in Oregon campgrounds)). I carry a gun because I've been chased by the KKK in this state for doing nothing more than stopping to photograph anti-Israel and anti-Jewish propaganda. I carry a gun because the world and its people are unpredictable. I carry a gun because even the mightiest nations in human history have fallen, (and if you listen to some, mine's falling as I write). I carry a gun because, in rural areas, police protection is farcical. I carry a gun because my business has been vandalized with swastikas and human feces. Most importantly, I carry a gun because it's a right afforded me in the United States Constitution, a right so vital to the founding fathers that they protected it, in the Bill of Rights, well enough that, despite no shortage of domestic or international pressure to change it, it exists unchanged to this day.
I carry a gun because I'm a citizen. You don't carry a gun because you're a subject. It's that simple. It really is. Gun laws around the world are a reflection of the lack of trust of governments in their people. The less stable a political system, the more laws regarding guns are passed and the more extreme penalties for gun possession become (and, ironically, the more guns become vital to either overthrow or stabilization). Governments ABSOLUTELY FEAR an armed citizenry. The United States staked its ground on an armed revolt. That spirit doesn't die in only two hundred fifty years, and it can't be squelched by the rote statistics or the inane logic of those who'd prefer that people like me be properly subjugated. With straight faces, these people fear for the safety of my children, simply because I own guns.
My kid is safe, I assure you, I see to it as his father. It's kind of my job. I assure you that you will do more damage to children by smoking in their presence than I will ever do to my child by owning a gun.
It seems odd to me that the "educated" of the world, the "nuanced," the "progressive thinkers" seem to concur on matters involving guns. Is it that their intelligence and righteousness know no bounds, or is it because they think exactly as they're expected to? Have they, in fact, ever given the subject anything more than cursory (read predictable) attention?
The "Canadian" is certainly wrong about one thing, at least as it pertains to America. Time and again, with the LONE exception of one defendant in one case decided by one court (which is currently under appeal), in every state in this country, lethal defense of one's domicile (rights that extend, in most U.S. states, to a car in which one is sleeping) has been upheld by every level of court. It is unadulterated gibberish to claim anything different. To refer to ONE SINGLE CASE is disingenuous at best, hyperbole at least.
But the "Canadian" is right about one thing, it's highly unlikely that I'll have to use my weapon in my own defense. In the United States, the percentage of "hot" burglaries (defined as burglaries in which the residents are in the home) is roughly 18% (a certain portion of that percentage must be homes in which it wasn't expected that the residents would be inside). In the UK, for example, the percentage of "hot" burglaries is nearly double that figure. What one single variable do you suppose accounts for that discrepancy? It's certainly not a fear of the grape smuggler (please see banana hammock).
My right to own guns serves a two-fold purpose. First, it's the final defense against tyranny. Don't believe me? Check here for a more eloquent explanation: http://www.law.ou.edu/hist/federalist/ (federalist papers, numbers 41 and 43 to be exact, by James Madison, writing, of course, as "Publius"). Secondly, it prevents foreign armies from invading America. Think of your worst image of Americans with guns. Now, apply that image to the perspective of a foreign soldier preparing to invade. Exactly, nobody's coming. Individual ownership, by itself, is an international deterrent against invasion. Aside from an extremely erroneous decision by a lone Japanese submariner, the U.S. mainland has never been attacked, even before America had established its power in the world. Why is that? Individual gun ownership is certainly one component.
But, really, what is it about guns themselves that scare people? Who is more scared, me of a bogey man, or the "Canadian" of a gun? And what's a more realistic description of humanity, 10,000 years of brutality, or 60 years of moderate civility?
Because, let's remember, had the citizens of Europe, independently, risen up in arms against Hitler or Mussolini, well, history books would certainly contain very different chapters. Oh, but that was so long ago (yeah, right, eons and eons, huh?)...
The fact is that the world is filled with two distinct personality types: aggressive and passive-aggressive (yes, only two; show me a passive person and I'll show you a dead person or an institutionalized person). Guns make the passive-aggressives uncomfortable because there's no pretending that they're anything but the obvious; namely, the weapons that even they'd use if things truly went sour.
So stuff your common-denominator opinions of America and its guns right into your sausage sack (see grape smuggler), and in the process recognize that I'm no more ignorant than you solely on the basis of my gun ownership, citizenry, or even, gasp, my political choices.
If we wanted to be more like Europe, well, we NEVER WOULD HAVE REVOLTED in the first place.
One last thing about Canadians: What is it with the black socks and shorts? Is the black sock/short combination some kind of national movement? I tell you, you can take the Canadian out of the mullet, but you can't really take the mullet out of the Canadian. And they say "American's" lack style!
Appreciatively, and armed to the teeth,

Oddly, I am also a Jew from Oregon. I've traveled and camped the length and width of that state 100 times, especially the East side, from Ontario to John Day to Bend to Klamath Falls. And NEVER in the years that I traveled on my own, did I feel the slightest need to carry a gun. Nor did I run into the least whit of anti-semitism.
You are so full of shit.

I'm completely in agreement with you about our "Right to Arm". But can you explain to me why the NRA wants us to be able to acquire an Uzi? Certainly not to kill deer. Don't you think there are certain limits to what kind of arms may be manufactured.
I've actually maintained for years that all American should arm themselves so that if some psychopath starts shooting up a school or office, at least people can defend themselves.
And your point is well taken about Europe. Bunch of wusses. Haven't Americans bailed them out of not one but two wars.

In regards to your comment about Canadians wearing black socks and shorts...I have no idea what you are talking about??? How old are they? Seniors? Yeah maybe. The worst is white socks and black shoes in any way shape or form. A huge Fashion Faux pas! ach! the horror!
Mullets rock!
You should look into penis enlargement, then maybe you won't have to carry a gun...you might blow your cock off by accident.

From an e-mail that "Daryl" sent to tecspectr. I am posting it because "Daryl" does not particularly like the banter of a comments page.
Here's "Daryl":
I'm no more "full of shit" than you are hopelessly blind.
Are you single? Have you a family, a pregnant wife even, to protect while you camp? Have you shared your religion with the people you camp with or the residents of the rural areas into which you travel?
Have you done even the slightest research into the history of the KKK in the state of Oregon? Apparently, in mentioning Bend and K Falls, you have not. Please go do some google searches on the KKK history in Medford, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, Bend, Pendleton, etc., and then get back to me. Go take ONE drive through Medford and tell me you've never seen anti-Semitism in this state (you may have to infer that two skinheads in a truck outfitted with rebel flags are anti-Semites but I don't think that's much of a leap of faith).
As for "full of shit," I indeed was chased out of Cave Junction, Oregon by a crazed anti-Semite with a gun (and I evaded him rather than shooting him), merely for photographing his blatant anti-Israel and anti-Jewish signage (large billboards on his front lawn). My business, in a rural town in Oregon, was indeed vandalized with swastikas and human feces. Apparently, however, you'd rather believe that I'm "full of shit" than that these are instances of anti-Semitism in this state. You've not seen it because you're obviously not interested in seeing it.
It's quaint that you like to travel to the woods from your urban existence in Oregon, but your perspective is limited by that which you refuse to see.
While you're googling, check into some of the bizarre occurrences around this state's campgrounds. I think you might be surprised.
But, hey, thanks for the constructive criticism anyway.

Rome - read all news
The legend - Rome, Italy
Rome is the capital city of Italy. It's the fourth most populous city in Europe.
Rome's history dates the founding of Rome around 753 BC, and according to the myth, the origin of the name Roma comes from the city founder and first king, Romulus.
The legend of Romulus and Remus tells us about two twins whose a she-wolf had taken care of, they decided to build the city when grown-up but after an argument, Romulus killed his brother and the city took his name.
After the foundation, Rome was ruled for a long period of over 200 years, by sovereigns of Latin, Sabine, and Etruscan origins. The tradition counts seven kings: Romulus, Numa Pompilius, Tullus Hostilius, Ancus Marcius, Tarquinius Priscus, Serius Tullius, Tarquinius Superbus.
Around 200 BC, Rome made significant conquests all over the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe, starting the spread of the Roman Empire.
The city known as Eternal, first-time visitors is easily overwhelmed by its fascinating beauty.
Circo Massimo
It was the first and largest stadium in Rome. It could accommodate 150 thousand spectators. The site is now a public park, and still hosts many concerts and public events.
This is the largest amphitheater ever built, made of concrete and stones. Construction was completed around year 80 AD and was designed to welcome 80 thousand visitors. It hosted gladiators battles, public spectacles, executions, a drama based on classical mythology.
Being built on a lake, earthquakes caused several damages to the building, destroying more than half of it, in the shape, we know today.
Roman Forum
Located in a small valley between the Palatino and Capitolino hills, It hosted several Roman Government buildings, right next to the Colosseum. The Forum was the center of the day-to-day life of Rome, elections, judging of criminals, public speeches, and commercial affairs took place there.
Altare della Patria
The construction destroyed a large part of the hill and the medieval neighborhood. It was made in honor of the unification of Italy and to the king Vittorio Emanuele.
A former Roman temple, now a church. The best-preserved ancient roman monument. The world pantheon is a Greek word for honoring all the Gods. The hocolus at the top in the center of the building is the main source of light in the building.
Trevi Fountain
Being one of the most famous Fountains in the world it sculptures the God of the Sea Neptune. The fountain was the setting for iconic scene in Fellini's film La Dolce Vita. The legend says that whoever drinks water from the fountain or throws a coin in it will ensure his return to Rome.
Spanish steps
Monumental stairway of 135 steps, built-in 18th century by a French diplomat who wanted to connect the Spanish embassy and the Trinita dei Monti church, on the top of the hill. This is the widest stairway in Europe. Each year in May, the stairs are furnished with many spring flowers. At the foot of the Spanish steps, there is Piazza di Spagna, and a fountain designed by Bernini, known as La Barcaccia ("the bad Boat")
Villa Borghese
Immense garden hosting museums. Galleria Borghese, build as a party house by Cardinal Borghese in the 17th century, now an art gallery housing collections and sculptures also by Tiziano and Bernini.
Castle Sant'Angelo
Commissioned by Roman emperor Adrian as a Mausoleum for his family, it was one of Rome's tallest buildings. Later used as a fortress for the popes escaping from the Vatican City, nowadays a museum.
Vatican City
It is an independent state since 1929, is within roman borders. The Vatican has been the residence of the pope since 1377. Vatican museums have a collection of sculptures and it is the home some of the world's most important relics, including the Raphael Rooms and the Sixtine Chapel by Michelangelo.
Piazza Navona
A square located in the heart of Rome, built on an ancient stadium. Today it hosts amazing fountains, cafes, and churches.

This proposed CECAM workshop will consider a range of model reduction strategies with applications in real-time visualization and computing. The increasing complexity of mathematical models used to predict real-world systems, such as climate or the human cardiovascular system, has led to a need for model reduction, which means developing systematic algorithms for replacing complex models with far simpler ones, that still accurately capture the most important aspects of the phenomena being modelled. Model reduction can be divided into two main approaches: "reduce-then-model" and "discretize-then-reduce". In the former approach the continuous equations representing the underlying physics are first reduced, e.g. by symmetry assumptions that allow us to consider 1D or 2D equations instead of the full 3D equations, before a computational model is derived. In the latter approach a computational model is obtained by discretizing the continuous equations and only then a reduced model is sought. Some subtopics include spatial dimensionality reduction and multiscale modelling frameworks in the "reduce-then-model" category; state space and parameter space reduction -- with a special accent on reduced basis and proper orthogonal decomposition -- in the "discretize-then-reduce" category.
The workshop will emphasize model reduction topics in several themes: 1. design, optimization, and control theory in real-time with applications in engineering; 2. data assimilation, geometry registration, and parameter estimation with a special attention to real-time computing in biomedical engineering and computational physics; 3. real-time visualization of physics-based simulations in computer science; 4. the treatment of high-dimensional problems in state space, physical space, or parameter space; 5. the interactions between different model reduction and dimensionality reduction approaches; 6. the development of general error estimation frameworks which accommodate both model and discretization effects. In this workshop the emphasis is on mathematical models based on both ordinary and partial differential equations. The focus of the workshop is methodological, however, we anticipate a wide range of both academic and industrial problems of high complexity to motivate, stimulate, and ultimately demonstrate the meaningfulness and efficiency of the proposed approaches.
The emphasis on real-time computing applications, and above all real-time visualization, can be seen as a new frontier in scientific computing to assist scientists and engineers during design, construction, manufacturing or production phases, and even medical doctors during surgery or diagnosis.
We focus on recent developments of reduced order modelling applications in transport and mechanics: unsteady and steady heat and mass transfer; acoustics; and solid and fluid mechanics. Of course we do not preclude other domains of inquiry within engineering (e.g., electromagnetics) or even more broadly within the quantitative disciplines (e.g., finance).
We consider input-output relationships held by the solution of partial and/or ordinary differential equations. The input-parameter vector typically characterizes the geometric configuration, the physical properties, and the boundary conditions and sources of a complex system. The outputs of interest might be the maximum system temperature, an added mass coefficient, a crack stress intensity factor, an effective constitutive property, an acoustic waveguide transmission loss, or a channel flowrate or pressure drop. Finally, the field variables that connect the input parameters to the outputs can represent a distribution function, temperature or concentration, displacement, pressure, or velocity.
The methodologies we consider in this workshop are motivated by, optimized for, and applied within two particular contexts: the real-time context (e.g., parameter estimation or control) and the many query context (e.g., design optimization or multimodel/scale simulation). Both these contexts are crucial to computational science and engineering and to more widespread adoption and application of numerical methods for partial and/or ordinary differential equations in engineering practice and education.
The real-time context can be found in engineering situations dealing with in-the-field robust parameter estimation (or inverse problems, or nondestructive evaluation), design and optimization, and control. On the other side the many-query context involves multiscale (temporal, spatial) or multiphysics models in which behavior at a larger scale must "invoke" many spatial or temporal realizations of parametrized behavior at a smaller scale. Particular cases (to which these methods have been applied) include stress intensity factor evaluation within a crack fatigue growth model; calculation of spatially varying cell properties within homogenization theory predictions for macroscale composite properties; assembly and interaction of many similar building blocks in large (e.g., cardio-vascular) biological networks; or molecular dynamics computations based on quantum-derived energies/forces (CECAM "core" activity). In all these cases, the number of input-output evaluations is often measured in the tens of thousands. Both the real-time and many-query contexts present a significant and often unsurmountable challenge to "classical" numerical techniques such as the finite element method (or finite difference, finite volume). These contexts are often much better served by the reduced order modelling techniques (often associated with a posteriori error estimation techniques).
We note, however, that the reduced order modelling methods we consider do not replace, but rather build upon and are measured (as regards accuracy) relative to, a classical discretization technique: the reduced method approximates not the exact solution but rather a "given" finite element discretization of (typically) very large dimension. In short, we pursue an algorithmic collaboration rather than an algorithmic competition. The development of reduced order modelling can perhaps be viewed as a response to the considerations and imperatives described above. In particular, the parametric real-time and many-query contexts represent not only computational challenges, but also computational opportunities.
The state of the art at the moment is moving towards interaction between different reduced order modelling techniques. For example, reduced basis method and proper orthogonal decomposition are combined to solve time-dependent parametrized diffusion-reaction problems with certification of accuracy for the reduced model provided by a posteriori error bounds. Theoretical studies are being carried out to ensure a deeper comprehension of model order reduction and the reliability and the applicability of the methodologies proposed. Parametrization of systems is advancing by proposing new techniques to deal with more complex configurations and more parameters. Techniques to improve the exploration of parameter space (sampling procedures, greedy algorithms) have been refined, combined, and specialized. The new frontier is an accurate and reliable methodology for certified real-time computing and visualization. Here advances made in computer graphics and physics-based simulation communities can be adapted to produce new methodologies satisfying the real-time needs of our target applications.

Norwich City manager Alex Neil insists twins Jacob and Josh Murphy will be staying a Carrow Road for the foreseeable future amid reported interest from Everton.
Speaking on the EFL Podcast, the Scot said: "No I don't think so [on concerns that the twins may outgrow Norwich], they've been in the lower leagues and Josh was with MK Dons in the Championship last year and Jacob was at Coventry beforehand.
"They've been at clubs, and obviously no disrespect here, who aren't challenging at the top of the Championship or played in the Premier League as we have done over the past four or five years.
"I think they're at a great place to develop and they've still got some developing to do so I think they'll stay here and get better.
"When the time comes, if it does come, that they're ready to move on I'll know that and they'll know that but certainly Norwich is the best place for them just now."

Porcelain veneers have quickly become a popular way to replace teeth that are unable to be fixed in the traditional sense. They look like natural teeth and should be cared for in the same way. They can be damaged and fixed much in the same way natural teeth are as well. Taking care of porcelain veneers may be confusing at first. When investing in a new smile, it's always good to ensure you know how to keep it looking fresh. Here are a few ways to keep your porcelain veneers in good condition.
Use a Whitening Toothpaste
Much like natural teeth, porcelain veneers can get stained and off color. When getting veneers, your dental professional will match the veneer to the current color of your teeth. This allows it to blend in flawlessly and look natural. Using whitening toothpaste will not only keep your veneers from getting stained but, it will also keep your other teeth look whiter. Be sure to stay away from the more abrasive forms of whitening toothpaste.
Treat Them Like Your Other Teeth
Go about your normal routine as you would with natural teeth. Veneers need to be flossed, brushed, and rinsed like normal teeth. Even with veneers, gum disease and poor oral health can result if they're not taken care of. The color of the veneer can change as the tooth underneath decays. Veneers aren't capable of decay however, they're affected by the tooth underneath if not taken care of.
It's important to note that you want to be careful when doing things such as flossing, eating nuts or other crunchy foods, etc. Just as your natural teeth are susceptible to breaking, cracking, chipping, etc. so are porcelain veneers. If you want them to remain in tip top shape, treat them with care and they will last longer.
Avoid the Usual
With our natural teeth, items such as tobacco and alcohol can cause staining and damage. Not to mention, they all cause bad breath as well. Porcelain veneers will stain and weaken when these types of items are used. Veneers have to be replaced when it becomes broken, overly stained, etc. Therefore, it's possible to replace it however, remember, it will be matched to your other teeth and will cost. In other words, take care of your teeth in general and your porcelain veneer will remain in great shape and you won't have to pay for them to be replaced.
If you keep in mind that porcelain veneers were created as a more natural way to replace teeth, then it's easier to remember they need to be treated just like natural teeth. If you want a winning smile, simply keep up a great oral health routine and both your natural teeth and porcelain veneers will thank you.

Wolf's Rain (2003)
Directed by Tensai OkamuraGenres - Action | Sub-Genres - Adventure Drama, Anime, Fantasy Adventure | Run Time - 30 min. | Countries - Japan |
Share on
Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Created by Keiko Nobumoto (Cowboy Bebop), the half-hour Wolf's Rain was, like many another Japanese anime series, set in a post-apocalyptic future. This time around, the human characters lived in domed cities, surrounded by a devastated world. Meanwhile, the Earth's surviving wolves, presumed extinct for two centuries, had managed to disguise themselves as humans to survive. The plotline focused on four young humanized wolves, each named for a part of the wolf "makeup": Kiba (Fang), Tsume (Claw), Hige (Whisker) and Toboe (Howl). Inspired by the vision of Flower Maiden Cheza and spurred on by the scent of the Lunar Flowers, the quartet set out to find the legendary "wolf paradise" of Rakunan. There was only one hitch -- if and when the wolves finally located Rakunan, the world would come to an end! First telecast in Japan on January 6, 2003, Wolf's Rain consisted of 26 episodes, plus four OAV episodes -- produced exclusively for home video -- which wrapped up the story. The entire series made its American debut courtesy of Cartoon Network on April 24, 2004.

Gibson ES175 - quality control
964racer replied to JazzMeister's topic in Gibson ESAre you happy with the quality/workmanship of the VOS 335 ?
early 90's ES-175DN questions...
964racer posted a topic in Gibson CustomHi-- I'm fairly new to the site but recently got back into playing my 175 ! I have an early 90's ES-175DN that I purchased used when it was only a few years old. I have a few questions for the 175 experts.. My guitar looks different from other guitars I have seen of this type. The top is natural finish, but that back and sides are a darker wood, similar to the neck (mahogany maybe ?). all other 175's that I have seen have a lighter color body - perhaps maple.). the body is finished in a clear lacquer, so you can see the grain and the color is a darker red-ish color.. Is this an unusual model and is there any difference between the maple body in terms of sound ? Second question: My guitar as a tune-o-matic bridge which is mounted on two posts. the wood platform for the posts sits on top of the guitar. One problem I continually have had is that the bridge posts like to bend over time (towards the headstock). This causes the bridge to tilt forward slightly. The luthier I took it too, thinks it's not the original bridge because they didn't come with a tune-o-matic. I am not sure I believe that because my guitar was bought used from Normans Rare guitars and it was new (but sold used) with all the tags attached. Any suggestions for the bridge ? btw, the luthier used double sided tape to stick the bridge to the top. Not sure I like this idea, but the guitar's sound didn't change to my ears, so I went with it. Third question: I actually prefer the 60's style curly trapeze for the 175's rather than the square trapeze I have. I am wondering if I could buy a Gibson replacement (that doesn't involve drilling the guitar or changing holes) of the vintage tailpiece ? I would save the original one of course for the next person... Thank in advance !
ES-175DN - solid mahogany ?
964racer replied to 964racer's topic in Gibson CustomThe sides and back look like they are from the identical piece of wood - same grain and color.
ES-175DN - solid mahogany ?
964racer posted a topic in Gibson CustomI have a 1990 ES-175DN. This guitar has a natural finish (A little yellowish) with Mahogany back and sides (almost same color wood and on neck). I took the guitar recently to a technician for a setup and he thought the back and sides may be solid rather than laminated. Any ES-175 experts out there that can confirm ?

They never did come pick up our toilets. James had to cart them all away from the curb by seven pm, along with a crummy closet door and a bucket o junk that the previous tenants left behind for us. Oh, they left lots of stuff behind for us; most of it involves cigarette butts and cat litter.
So James called the waste disposal company to inquire about the toilets. They didn't know why they hadn't been picked up, promised to do it this morning. Pickup is supposed to be at six. It's 8:20. We still have two extra toilets chillin' in our front yard.
Hi, neighbors! Is there some reason you haven't come by with pie for us yet? Oh, not to worry if we're not here when you come a'knockin'. You can just make yourselves comfortable on the pot. We have two, in fact--one for you and one for your pie. Be careful of the one that got broken a little. It's all shardy. We'll be home soon, and we can all have Roadkill Delight for supper!

Jason deCaires Taylor, creator of the world's first underwater sculpture park, wants to do some work in Barbados' waters. He is presently in Barbados attending the 11th Annual Caribbean Conference on Sustainable Tourism Development and he has told reporters that "it would be nice to do something here." He also stressed that such a project would help diversify the tourist attractions on the island.
In May, 2006 Taylor gained international recognition for creating the world's first underwater sculpture park in Grenada, featuring several life-size concrete figures. Since then, he has been involved in the creation of an underwater sculptural museum in the waters surrounding Cancun, Isla Mujeres, and Punta Nizuc. The project will eventually consist of more than 400 permanent life-size sculptures, becoming one of the largest and most ambitious underwater artificial attractions in the world. The sculptures include "The Archive of Lost Dreams", "Man of Fire" and "The Gardener of Hope." [See previous post Swim by art at Cancún's underwater museum].
Jason deCaires Taylor was born in 1974 to an English father and Guyanese mother, spending the earlier part of his life growing up in Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean. Educated in England, he graduated in 1998 from Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London, with a B.A. in Sculpture and Ceramics. He is also a fully qualified diving instructor, underwater naturalist, and award winning underwater photographer, with over 14 years of diving experience.
His underwater sculptures, designed to create artificial reefs for marine life to colonize and inhabit, embrace the transformations wrought by ecological processes. The works engage with a vision of the possibilities of a sustainable future, portraying human intervention as positive and affirmative. His work embodies the hope and optimism of a regenerative, transformative nature.

X-Factor 2014 is about to begin — today — with auditions in Manchester. The annual search for the best musical talent in Britain will begin in Manchester where hundreds of pop-star wannabees are lined up, waiting to audition. All four judges are ready for the kickoff but not so eager to listen to a hundred bad auditions for one half-way decent one. The hardest part of the show for them is the first auditions.
The very first X Factor auditions will be held in Manchester today at the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground from 1330. These are the intimate auditions just with the contestant and the four judges- if they are successful they then get through to the arena auditions held at a later date.
The X Factor has been on our screens since 2004 and the eleventh series this year promises to be bigger and better than the rest. The shows creator music mogul Simon Cowell ?returns to the judging panel as head judge alongside new recruits Cheryl Cole and Mel B. The longest serving original judge Louis Walsh will make up the fourth and final judge. Dermot O'Leary will return as the host of the show for the 8th year running.
This will be the first time that the former Girls Aloud singer, Cheryl Cole has appeared on the X Factor since she was sensationally sacked from the American version of the show three years ago. So expect fireworks to fly in Manchester today and tomorrow.?
Simon tweeted yesterday "Just arrived in Manchester. We start X Factor auditions tomorrow. Gulp"
Finish this article here: http://www.itv.com/news/granada/2014-06-16/x-factor-auditions-kick-off-in-manchester-today/ X-Factor 2014 auditions begin today in Manchester with Simon Cowell, Mel B from the Spice Girls, Cheryl Cole and of course Louis Walsh. With that lineup of judges, this year's show is sure to capture once again the audience it has lost during the past 3 seasons. Now is there any talent in Manchester this year?

While messy and at times choppy with overstuffed stylistic devices that at times will make you cringe while other ones certainly impress, Adam McKay's "Vice" is a step up from "The Big Short". It's a scathing satire that is wholly entertaining and greatly paced. The performance of Christian Bale as former Vice President is breathtakingly real and Bale elevates the performance away from caricature. Sadly many of the other characters are your typical Hollywood's version of the scary Republican archetype and caricature.
The saga begins with a young Dick Cheney; a alcoholic and a bar brawler who gets kicked out of Yale and winds up in jail for drinking under the influence. His financee Lynne (Amy Adams) gives him an ultimatum, straighten up or she will split up with him.
Cheney ends up becoming an intern in the US House of Representatives, and he works under then Representative Donald Rumsfeld (Steve Carell), where he learns all about the cutthroat ways of Washington that represent special interests and lobbyists over the people. He ends up getting a high position in the White House under Nixon, where eventually he loses his position due to the election of Jimmy Carter becoming President elect.
Years later, he is approached with an offer by George W. Bush (Sam Rockwell) who asks him to be his running mate. He reluctantly agrees, but is swayed back when he sees opportunity to gain more power for him and his cronies, especially after the tragedy of 9/11.
While the film is indeed one-sided, it's a flamethrower with a point of view that is self-aware with its approach. It's a rather fascinating exploration of power gone awry. Viewers will learn nothing new here unless you're the type of person that doesn't follow politics too closely. Amy Adams delivers a nuanced and engaging performance as Lynne Cheney, and Sam Rockwell is a riot as George W. Bush.
Bale in his performance observes and hides; it's not a particularly personal performance, but it's very skillful, and overall effectively real. The film's strongest argument is our constant interventions in the Middle East and the blowback it has entailed by creating more terrorism and war. With our country finally removing troops from Syria while many pundits and politicians in both parties advocating for more war, this film is a much needed shout at our current state of politics and foreign policy.

A judge in St. Francis County recently ruled against gambling machines operated by the company Arkansas Amusements.
The company apparently owns several gambling-style machines across the state, and has tried to justify the machines by paying taxes on their revenue.
In his ruling against the machines, the judge wrote,
Illegal gaming devices do not become legal by paying taxes on them. Plaintiffs allegation that skill or dexterity is involved does not make the illegal gaming devices legal.
This is a good ruling. We have written repeatedly about the proliferation of illegal gambling machines in Arkansas. With the exception of the state lottery and the casinos and racetracks in Hot Springs and West Memphis, Arkansas law generally prohibits gambling.
Some of Arkansas' anti-gambling laws are vague. Others have been on the books for nearly a century — long before the Internet and electronic gaming. As a result, we are hearing reports of illegal gambling houses opening in some parts of the state.
Earlier this year authorities in Saline County arrested several people in connection with four gambling houses. In August authorities in Jefferson County raided two gambling houses and indicated they might raid others in the future. We have heard rumors of similar establishments in east Arkansas.
These gambling houses often use machines that look more like video games than traditional slot machines or card games. Some attorneys consider them legally "gray" — the machines probably are illegal, but the case against them isn't always black and white.
From what we are hearing, these gambling houses sometimes locate in former liquor stores or old gas stations. They may look like legitimate businesses, but — as this judge's ruling in St. Francis County indicates — their activities could be illegal.
We plan to work with lawmakers and prosecutors to clarify state laws and ensure our existing anti-gambling laws are enforced.
If you suspect a gambling house is operating in your community, please notify your local authorities. Then call us at (501) 375-7000.

Michael Musika, Brass Menazerie, Toshio Hirano & DJ Zeljko
March 18, 2011
Better than: Motor-boating a witch's bosom.
The tale goes that Michael Musika was wandering the roads of a far-away land known as Colorado. Suddenly, a coyote crossed his path and whispered words of wisdom in his ear. The coyote's message left Musika entranced. He spent the last several years doing everything within his power to encapsulate lessons learned from that encounter.
Friday night, this knowledge was unleashed up on the world -- or at least Hayes Valley -- via the release party for Musika's latest album, aptly entitled Spells.
The Rickshaw Stop was packed, but it seemed as if there were two distinctly different audiences: hipster-hippies, and the familiar S.F. Burning Man crowd. I guess that should be expected of a show that transitions from Japanese country singer to melodic spell-caster to titillating Balkan dance party.
The first half was filled with the type of mellow souls that typically frequent the Seaweed Sway Showcases. It was kicked off by the Tokyo Cowboy better known as Toshio Hirano. When exploring the songs of his mentor Jimmie Rodgers, such as "Southern Cannonball," Toshio doesn't hold back -- especially when it comes to yodeling. In fact, many members of the audience unsuccessfully tried to hold back chuckles.
The novelty of "that Japanese dude who sings country at Amnesia" eventually dissipated. The front of the audience was left sitting at his feet in Kindergarten story-time fashion. Hirano's voice seems to cary the feelings of someone who has lived many lives -- which is just how country should be.
I don't know what ADHD-victim of a DJ was spinning in the early evening portion, but between Toshio and Musika I heard an array of music from classical piano to prom-dance hip-hop. Finally, amidst my complaining to my housemate about the terrible music being played during set breaks, I realized that the madness had stopped. I heard the sweet relief of horns and percussion.
We both turned around and saw a dark hooded figure make its way though the audience with a slow and powerful procession of brass and percussion trailing behind. Michael Musika wears the hooded cloak to the set the mood for his "spells." But I think he also rocks the druid look to retreat from the crowd and check in with himself. Either way, it works.
Musika was accompanied by a brigade of local talent including Matt Adams (The Blank Tapes), Jesse Olsen (Ramon & Jessica), Dave Mihaly, and more. He started off the set on keys, but later swapped with Dave Mihaly so that he could resume his rightful position, taking lead vocals and guitar at the center of the stage.
During his early performance of "Coyote Recaptures Stolen Jewel," Musika started standing on one leg. At first, I wanted to believe that the flamingo-style perch was part of the show -- it looked funny! -- but then I realized that his guitar strap had broken mid-song. Musika didn't miss a beat.
During the next few songs you could catch glimpses of Musika closing his eyes and retreating to his hood to re-center, but each time he quickly refocused. Crowd-pleasing songs included "The Awakening Spirits Dream a New Day," as well as "The Dictionary is the Book of Love." Both had dozens chanting along.
My favorite song of the night was "The Spellbound Traveler Loses All Possession." It's the tune that made me crush on Musika after watching him for the first time on the Chasing the Moon podcast -- a folksy-hipster's guide to what band is about to blow up in S.F. Even though he was on crutches and it was the day after his birthday, Scott McDowell (Chasing the Moon Co-Producer) hobbled on staged to introduce the next episode of Chasing the Moon, which features Sonny and the Sunsets. It was just a video being screened, but that didn't keep the audience from as dancing as hard as it would at a live show.
Shortly after the podcast was done, the crowd drastically transformed. The Toshio/Musika/Chasing the Moon group moved from offense to defense, and took over the back half of the room. I remained in the front. On my left, I was surrounded by a bunch of white chicks looking like a scene out of Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. On my right, I was flanked by a bunch of Eastern Europeans. Welcome to your typical Brass Menazeri and DJ Zeljko/Kafana Balkan crowd. But regardless of your scene, when the Balkan/Romani musical force known as Brass Manazeri powers its way onto the stage, you shake what your momma gave ya.
I've seen Brass Menazeri at Rickshaw Stop about a dozen times. Even though the group had some great new material, I had a hard time staying "in it" because I've witnessed that scene so often. But the group is still incredible, and should be on any musical S.F. bucket list. One of my favorite moments of the night was a cover of a Bosnian hot number called "Izgorjecu, Poludjeco." The song title, originally performed by Hanka Paldum, translates to "I'm Burning, I'm Going Crazy."
After Brass Menazeri wrapped up, the audience was left wanting more. DJ Zeljko scratched that itch by laying it down with some tracks that made bodies convulse. I left the Rickshaw feeling a little high off the spell-talk and the Balkan dance-a-thon. It was a good night.
Critic's Notebook
Overheard in the crowd:
Drunken man with Irish accent #1:
"What are you doing!?!"
Drunken man with Irish accent #2:
"I'm getting naked! You know!?! I'm adding to the live atmosphere!"
(Proceeds to strip off multiple sweaty shirts)
"... You make me happy! I like Mike! I like Mike! I like Mike!...
Both: "We loooooove you Mike!"
(multiple people in the crowd glaring over)
Girl from crowd: "I love you too Mike! ... But not in a creepy way!"

Most people know what your sun sign is. It's what you look up in the paper or the latest edition of your favorite magazine. Have you ever wondered why they aren't always specific and don't always fit you? If you ever have your astrology chart done by an astrologer (or get a free one done on a website) you'll realise that there are a lot of working parts. It's those other bits that are what makes it specific for you.
The first thing that comes up in your chart is your sun sign. It's what you look at when you first look up your horoscope. It's your general personality. For example I'm a Scorpio. We get a bit of a rap for being intense, passionate and firey, Not exactly inaccurate if you've ever started talking to me about my kids. We also get a rep for being sexy and mysterious. I wouldn't know about the first bit but I can tell you that 90% of the time I'll only tell you 50% of what I'm thinking.
The second thing is your moon signs. It's the part of you that only you see. It's who you are and think you are on the inside. Its your emotions, instinct and the part of you that gets hidden. My moon sign is Aries which means a bunch of fire and hot headedness. There is a love for being spontantious and winning. I like to win….a lot……like a LOT.
The third thing is your ascendant sign. Its wat you outwardly express and who you appear to be to everyone else. Some branches of astrology think that this is just as, if not more important than the sun sign. Shows your coping mechanisms when things go to shit. My rising sign is Pisces which means to people I appear a bit soft, sensitive and emotional. It's being able to mould yourself to whatever is the most dominant force to get it done. It's also appearing a bit creative and artistic.
This is my overview of the 'big three' in astrology. Stay tuned next week for planitary shenanigans.

Connecticut-based funk band, Goose, flocks to Steamboat for Friday show
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — This weekend, the Goose is getting loose.
The Connecticut-based, funk-folk quartet has become widely known for their indie-groove melodies, which have been rapidly amassing an enthusiastic fan base following the release of the group's debut album, "Moon Cabin," in 2016.
Goose was conceived in 2014 and includes Rick Mitarotonda on guitar, vocals and songwriting, Peter Anspach on guitar and keys, Trevor Weeks on bass and Ben Atkind on drums.
This weekend, the funky flock will touch down in Steamboat Springs as part of their tour of the Centennial state, performing six shows within the week. Their show will take place at 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8, at the Old Town Pub, 600 Lincoln Ave.
"Steamboat has this amazing energy," Anspach said of the band's first appearance in town last year. "It was truly epic to experience. That energy translated into our music and wound up resulting in one of our favorite shows to date."
What: Goose
When: 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8
Where: Old Town Pub, 600 Lincoln Ave.
Earlier this week, Explore Steamboat discussed the ever-changing music scene with the band.
Explore Steamboat: Can you remember the moment or person who inspired you to become a musician? Does that person/memory stick with you even today?
Rick Mitarotonda: That's a tough one to pin down, mostly because everyone each had their own laundry list of heroes growing up. Dave Matthews Band was a common influence between some of us growing up. I think a lot of inspiration for each of us largely came from friends, older siblings and other acquaintances hanging out and playing music together early on though.
ES: What would you say is a source of inspiration for the Goose sound? How have you guys developed into this indie-groove folk band style?
RM: I would say the most prominent influential forces for the band at this point could be boiled into three categories — Phish; Dead, Medeski Martin & Wood (MMW); John Scofield combined with Fleet Foxes; and the last category, Bon Iver. Naturally, it ripples out a lot from there, but those come to mind as the front runners.
ES: How did you guys land on the name Goose? Does it have a significant meaning or emulate something?
RM: I was actually living in Fort Collins in 2014 working at this killer little taco joint called Damn Good Tacos, now called Authentic American Tacos due to some trademark bologna. We would call each other goose there and throw the word around. I thought it'd be a funny band name at the time, definitely not expecting for it to stick, but here we are. It's come to take on some deeper meanings for each of us I think, but it all began with tacos.
ES: How has your overall sound/ outlook on your music changed over the years?
RM: The live sound has probably seen the most change. We're continuing to grow in our improvisational communication on stage which is always fun. In terms of writing, there's certainly evolution happening, but it's tough to pinpoint anything because the songs varied a lot stylistically right from the beginning. We've got a lot of recording in the works this year, and hopefully, once we get all of that out, we'll continue to evolve our writing voices.
ES: How would you describe your band and what makes your band different from others?
RM: It seems like describing sounds keeps getting trickier these days with so many artists creating unique blends of widely varying styles. It's certainly no easier when you're on the inside of it, just going with what everyone's hearing as a group. We have become fond of the analogy, however, of a bonfire kegger in the woods with your best friends, where deeper in the forest some stranger, more mystical experiences are there for those looking for it. That's at least how we like to think about what we're going for.
ES: Looking over all that you've done, is there one thing that stands out to you as a proudest achievement?
RM: The slow and steady development of the touring organism, both externally and internally, is really cool to see. Just keeping a band together and positive on the road together is an achievement we're proud of. Outside of that, making a record can be a ton of work, and despite it being so early in the band's development, "Moon Cabin" is something we're really proud of.
ES: What can the audience on Friday expect for the upcoming performance?
Peter Anspach: I don't want to give too much away, but the audience can expect to dance and lose themselves for a few hours. We just started touring with a full lighting rig, so that has really pumped up our shows recently. The show is also two sets — a full evening of Goose.
ES: Have you performed in Steamboat Springs before? If so, when?
PA: Our first time in Steamboat about a year ago was truly epic. The town had an amazing energy that translated into our music and wound up resulting in one of our favorite shows to date. The Old Town Pub is a legendary room; we are excited to be back.

I have always been pretty sold on OLED as a display technology, especially since my primary work experience is with cellular phones. This past spring, with the 2018 models imminent, prices on the 2017 models dropped enough for me to feel comfortable with pulling the trigger on one: the LG 55 C7.
As a norm in current times, I broke out the D-SLR to capture this "life event". However, as a black 2D rectangle when off, I found that there were nothing to photograph. So, I tried to use Bokeh to show off how thin the panel is. Here are the results.

White, Edmund. THE FLANEUR: A STROLL THROUGH THE PARADOXES OF PARIS. New York City, NY: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2001. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 215 pages. As New/As New.
Book-length account on subject. The author's second book on Paris, preceded by "Our Paris". One of Edmund White's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a tiny first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. A surprise bestseller, the book remains available in multiple subsequent printings. The First Edition is now rare. Presents, in an elegant little volume, Edmund White's "The Flaneur". "A flaneur is a stroller, a loiterer, someone who ambles through city streets in search of adventure and fulfillment. Edmund White, who lived in Paris for sixteen years, wanders through the streets and avenues and along the quays, into parts of Paris virtually unknown to visitors and indeed to many Parisians. In the hands of the learned White, a walk through Paris is both a tour of its lush, sometimes prurient history, and an evocation of the city's spirit. Leads us to bookshops and boutiques, monuments and palaces, giving us a glimpse into the inner human drama. Along the way we learn everything from the latest debates among French lawmakers to the juicy details of Colette's life" (Publisher's blurb). "One has the impression of having fallen into the hands of a highly distractible, somewhat eccentric poet and professor who is determined to show you a Paris you wouldn't otherwise see. Tells such a good story that I'm ready to listen to anything he wants to talk about" (The New York Times). An absolute "must-have" title for Edmund White collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Edmund White. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only signed copy of the First Hardcover Ediiton/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: All other copies available online are subsequent printings. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1994 for "Genet". Anointed by Vladimir Nabokov as his American successor. One of the finest living American writers. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER EDMUND WHITE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1582341354. $150.00

LATEST UPDATES: Racial Justice | Tracking COVID-19 (coronavirus)
Strong Santa Ana Winds Wreak Havoc In SoCal
Wednesday, February 2, 2011
The strong air currents out of the northeast -- blowing consistently at speeds of 25-35 mph, with gusts hitting at least 60 mph at times -- were expected to prevail through the day, according to the National Weather Service.
At Lindbergh Field, the buffeting winds caused no flight delays or cancellations, though they did force planes to land out of the west, instead of on the normal easterly approach, airport spokeswoman Katie Jones said.
CHP Officer Ray Scheidnes warned drivers of high-profile vehicles to slow down and avoid mountain areas.
"We had a big rig get blown over there kind of in the Pine Valley area on Interstate-8. There was also a eucalyptus tree that fell over on a connector from northbound Interstate-805 to northbound highway 163," said Scheidnes.
National Weather Service forecasters said the strong winds will let up by morning.

Bad Luck Doll (日本人形災難)
By Billy Hammond (Copyright AELS) One day back when I was operating an English conversation school, I got a phone call from a student who was a nurse at a large hospital. She told me that she'd been having all kinds of odd things happen to her in the past month or so. She normally wasn't clumsy or anything like that but she kept banging into things in her apartment and had scalded her hand while cooking. Things at work had also apparently taken a turn for the worse and she found herself making silly mistakes that she would normally never make. She asked me if I could visit her apartment and check it out. I made arrangements to go there the next day early in the morning since she was off duty then and I had to teach classes […]
