Transfer apps from iPhone to iPad
The title says it all, with two caveats: 1. Don't want to have to enter in all the passwords to various password protected apps. Number two is below the fold. [more inside]
The best team management app for a small recreational group?
I'm looking for the best team-management tool for my recreational a cappella group. Right now we use a mishmash of email, Facebook, Google Calendar, and texting, so tons of important information slips through the cracks and we waste time trying to get everyone on the same page. I'd really like to consolidate all of these to a single, centralized platform. [more inside]
How do you create an app?
I have an idea for an app for smart phones, but have no idea on how to develop the idea to a working app. Can anybody walk me through the process?
Timeful substitutes?
I love the Timeful app, but it's been sold to Google and is about to shut down. I know that there aren't any time management apps as good as Timeful, but are there any potential substitutes that will get me through? The scheduling capability is what I'm after: I want to be able to give a task and a completion date and have the work scheduled for me. Ideas much appreciated!
the pursuit of appiness
I got an android tablet, which is the first mobile smart device I've ever bought. (I'm still in the dumbphone contingent.) What are the few apps that you've found to be the most useful or just plain neat? [more inside]
Travel Life Lessons
I consider myself a fairly savvy traveler yet one who still makes noob mistakes that end up costing me disproportionately in either in time, money, or enjoyment simply because I didn't know better. Although I've gotten better with each trip, it leaves me wondering what easy changes I still have left to make that can boost my travel skills without having to learn them the hard way? Bonus points for recommendations that take advantage of a smart phone! [more inside]
Grocery list apps, late 2015 edition
I need a grocery app that my husband and I can both add to/sync lists for iOS (web interface nice but not mandatory). We've been using Buy Me a Pie, but it's gotten glitchy for us and won't let me add him to lists. I've seen this post, and will check out the other recs, but it's a year old, which is forever in app development time. Possible complication: spouse beta tests new iOS versions on his phone for work reasons.
Making better use of smartphone veg-out time
What are some apps that can make better use of my down time? I currently dip into Hay Day, a farming game, if I want to relax for a bit. It would be great if all those spare moments could be used for something useful - think distributed computing projects such as SETI and Folding@home, but for humans. [more inside]
Strategy games for the Kindle Tablet
What are your recommendations for strategy games for the Kindle Tablet?
Starting fresh
Recently I performed a clean installation of Windows 10 (which, by the way, I very much like despite not-so-subtle bugs creeping up a tad more than I'd like) and would like app and Chrome add-on recommendations. [more inside]

iPhone Time Punch/Clock App w/Lock Screen Controls?
I'm looking for an iPhone app that lets one keep time records (simple in-out-lunch's fine, don't need task/client tracking), but most importantly has a presence on the lock screen. In a perfect world I could get a lunch hour countdown clock too, but I'm not greedy. Any suggestions?
ipad games for a 5 year old, please.

Actually educational toddler / preschool apps
There are so many terrible educational apps which seem to be a combination of flash cards / slot machine with in-app purchases or hard to avoid ads. What are your favorite tablet apps which actually have taught your toddler something other than randomly swiping around the screen? [more inside]

Where do Curb, Flywheel, & cabs work as well as Uber et al.?
I'd prefer to use Curb, Flywheel, & other apps that leverage the extant cab infrastructure to hire rides instead of Uber, Lyft, Sidecar, etc. However, because cab infrastructure varies wildly between cities, so too does the quality of using these apps; calling up a cab on my phone and waiting twenty minutes is worse than feeling slightly conflicted about a rideshare. Where have you used Curb or Flywheel and had a good time? Better than with a rideshare? Worse?
An app that will give me directions but route me past interesting things
Apple Maps and the Google Maps app will give me directions. Apple Maps and the Google Maps app will give me restaurant reviews. With either of these apps, is there any way to combine these functions-- as in, "Google, get me to Piccadilly Circus and tell me the highest-rated restaurant along the way?" Or "Get me to Piccadilly Circus and route me past a good French restaurant?" If not, is there any app that will do this? [more inside]

My Android phone has deleted Google Play Services. How can I fix it?
I have a Moto G running Android 4.4.4 that has a bad habit of occasionally deleting an app without provocation. This is a small bother normally (I just re-download the app), but this time, it has deleted Google Play Services, which is necessary for all kinds of things. How do I fix it? [more inside]
Tinder: "there was a problem getting your code"
Every time I try to log in to Tinder I get asked to enter my phone number for a verification code. And every single time after I enter my number I get the same error: "there was a problem getting your code. Please try again". I have looked through Google and tried various "fixes" for this problem but none have worked for me. I'm hoping the super-geniuses in the Hive Mind can help me. My phone is a QUE 5.0 running Android 4.4.2. My service is through Net10 (which uses AT&T towers).

Street Navigation App for Android Tablet: Italy edition
We spend a few months in Italy each year, and duplicate our lives from Australia over there. Last year we purchased a second-hand car, and find it really useful to use a GPS for navigation. Our TelCo also gave us two Samsung Note 3 Android Tablets. We have smartphones and iPads, and are hoping to use the android tablet in the vehicle for navigation when required. Would Google Maps be the best? There is the provision for SIM cards in the Samsung, however I would probably prefer to link it to a portable hotspot if needed. PREFERABLY a navigation app for Italy which works well off-line. Any suggestions? TIA
To-do / notes app with export, simple design?
I like to journal using lists / task applications - right now I'm using GoogleTasks which with over 1k lines is getting clunky and hard to use, e.g. I'll copy from one list and paste to another the cursor'll jump up to the top of the list just before I hit paste - drives me bonkers! [more inside]

App for Windows PC that offers notes that can be manually moved around
There is an exercise recommended by some writers where you take a wall or a large board of some kind, and using different colored sticky notes, you put all kinds of completely random thoughts, images, and ideas for a story down, and then move them around until they form patterns you could work from. It's a nice, right-brained alternative to the outline, or even the mind-map. [more inside]

Apple HealthKit, how u work?
I've become obsessed with the Health app on my iPhone. I get that it probably uses GPS to calculate how far I'm walking/running in a day.

Or is there an app that will let me specify which apps can be used during specific recurring periods? [more inside]

Why are random games loading to my iPhone when I sync?
When syncing my iPhone 5 to my Macbook Pro, every time I connect it it tries to load about 5 games from my apps collection from the Macbook to the phone. It's always the same games, and this is a new problem within the past month or so. I haven't updated the OS or anything else -- is there some "autosync" option with certain games that I need to turn off? It's a pain to have to delete them every other day.

Best reading & writing applications on Android and Linux?
Hi everyone! For my job, I'm transitioning from Mac to Linux (trying Ubuntu) on my laptop and using an Android phone (CyanogenMod). I'm a little new to all this. For work and for play I read and write just an insane amount of text. I write papers and nonfiction research pieces and novels and thousands of notes. I read epubs and mobis and piles o' PDFs and many many online articles. What are your favorite apps and programs for reading, writing, editing, saving, and searching/storing text on these platforms?

Easiest way to rip and/or burn DVDs on my new Windows 8.1 laptop
I just received my first Win8.1 computer, and I am having some trouble adapting to the new interface. The computer I got has a DVD read-write drive, but I bought the "Signature Edition" of this laptop (Acer E5) from the Microsoft store and that means it doesn't come with the usual pile of bloatware. This is apparently both a good and a bad thing... [more inside]

What are some exercises/games/etc that can help with brain trauma?
About a year ago, my father was in an accident and suffered significant brain trauma. Since then, he has made great physical progress, but his mental progress seems stagnant. His memories are intact, thank god, but what he has trouble with is focusing/concentrating on things. I'm looking for suggestions on exercises he can do on a computer/iPad or in his regular life that can help with his healing and growth. I would also love to hear anecdotes from people who themselves have suffered significant brain trauma and what they have done to help themselves heal. [more inside]

Is there a simple way to include tweets that I have re-tweeted in the "Latest Tweets" results.
I can see there is an option to hid @replies, but if I retweet another tweet I want this to show up in the widget.
I suspect this is an option on the Twitter API on what to return, but I don't know where to look.

Staff report
The Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County will close its Lake Milton Branch June 28 and its North Jackson Branch June 29 and plans to open its new combined replacement branch on or about July 22.
The new $2 million, 6,270-square-foot branch at 13820 Mahoning Ave. will be named the Tri-Lakes Branch because it is near Berlin Reservoir, Lake Milton and Meander Reservoir, library officials announced.
The new branch, which has been under construction for nearly a year, will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays. It will be closed Fridays and Sundays.
Details concerning a dedication ceremony to be conducted after the new library opens will be announced at a later date.
The return deadline for materials checked out of the current North Jackson and Lake Milton branches from now until their closings will be extended until July 30.
The library system also announced that it is in the process of selecting an architect for its next major construction project — the Canfield branch, which will be expanded on its current site.
No weekend hours. That is terrible for members of the community who work during the week.
Do a half day on Wednesday and half day on Saturday.

Mark Simon Smith Publishes New Humorous Fantasy Adventure For Tweens
Madison-Area Author Releases Book Aimed At Promoting Reading, Increasing Vocabulary and Encouraging Parents Reading With Their Children
Sir Nathan and the Quest for Queen Gobbledeegook is the first in the author's Somewhat Silly Story series. It is the tale of a colorful land filled with bizarre creatures, in which a good and kind queen has gone missing and it is up to an over-zealous knight to find her. "Sir Nathan isn't your typical knight in shining armor," Smith says. "He's very caught up in the whole concept of good overcoming the forces of evil, whether they had anything to do with the situation or not. He's often disappointed that he can't smite the antagonists that he meets because they turn out to be nice or, at the worst, are simply misunderstood."
Smith originally wrote the story as a gift to give to his young nieces and nephews after hearing a story about fairy tales on Wisconsin Public Radio. "The first time through, since it was just for a handful of 10 year olds, the story was written in a very stream-of-consciousness sort of way. Since I've always had a difficult time coming up with character names, I just used the names of my nieces and nephews as a way to make the story more enjoyable for them. Now that I am offering the book to the general public, I've gone through and re-written and re-edited the story so as to offer something that I think will appeal to a broader audience, boys and girls alike."
An avid reader since a young age, Smith admits to being heavily influenced by authors such as Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. "Their ability to spin a silly story always leaves me a little in awe. The words just seem to come effortless in their books and you can't quite tell if it's an interesting story with funny bits or a funny story with interesting bits."
As an author, Smith would like to create works that challenge young readers a bit and helps to build their reading comprehension. "I'm not intentionally placing difficult words into my stories, but early on, I often found myself wrestling with whether or not I ought to use a nice, juicy, colorful word because I thought a 10 year old might not know it. But then I realized that if my story was interesting enough, the young reader would try to figure out or look up or ask what the word meant." Smith also hopes that, by writing such a story, he could create a work that appeals to older kids as well as a work that parents would enjoy reading with their child.
He is currently working with local schools and libraries to promote reading and writing with his book. Smith has visited classrooms to read from his book and discuss the writing process with students. His book is also being used in area TAG Programs to further develop reading and comprehension skills in young readers.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Novozymes Biopharma is teaming up with Almac to provide a combined service for drug development applications in the field of drug targeting and pharmacokinetic improvements. The collaboration will allow clients to use Almac's manufacturing assets and protein conjugation capability to link Novozymes' Recombumin® Flex technology to their peptide and small molecule drugs, which the firms say improves pharmacokinetics and has been shown to improve drug targeting in oncology and rheumatoid arthritis. Collaborations with commercial partners have reportedly already begun, and the companies hope collaborations will continue to expand in early 2014.
Novozymes says that its Recombumin Flex technology will be this collaboration's focal point. Novozymes modified the amino acid sequence of human albumin to increase its receptor affinity, which the firm says not only can improve half-life extension and drug targeting, but complements Almac's peptide and small molecule manufacturing expertise and could also be allied to its protein conjugation technology offerings.
"This alliance has clear benefits for companies involved in both drug development and delivery technologies: a complete service can be recommended utilizing the core expertise of both parties at an early stage of clinical development, thus significantly enhancing the success of drug development programs," Denis Geffroy, vp, business development for Almac, said in a statement.

After going online in 2006, Toyota's San Antonio, Texas truck plant has just built its one-millionth vehicle, the 2014 Tundra 1794 Edition you see above. The plant originally focused on just the Tundra pickup, but the smaller Tacoma started rolling off the line there in 2010, as well.

Toyota has raised its expectations for 2013's US sales for the third time since the end of 2012. The new target rests at 2.25 million units, when sales of Toyota, Lexus and Scion are taken as one. Subtracting Lexus, Toyota is still expecting to move over two million vehicles in the US by the end of 2013.

Toyota has announced pricing details for its refreshed 2014 Tundra, with the fullsize pickup offered in five grades. Naturally, that doesn't include the buyer's choice of three cab styles, the option of two- or four-wheel drive, and a choice of a 4.0-liter V6 base engine or 4.6-liter and 5.7-liter V8s.

After months of leaked photos and speculative reports, Toyota finally unveiled its 2014 Corolla to the world in early July at a star-studded California party. The confetti has been swept up and the champagne flutes washed and stored, and now the real work can begin: production. Toyota has announced that its new C-segment player has begun rolling off the lines at its plants in Mississippi and Ontario, Canada this week ahead of the planned start of sales in September. What's more, the refreshed 20

Toyota has pulled the curtain back on its 2014 Tundra, showing a truck that has gotten its most significant refresh since its launch as a 2007 model. For better or worse, however, the changes that Toyota has made to the fullsize pickup are mostly cosmetic, with the underpinnings of the vehicle staying unchanged.

When Toyota first announced that it would be bringing the 2014 Tundra pickup to next month's Chicago Auto Show, we weren't quite sure if the truck would fall into the "all-new" or "refreshed" category. After seeing this latest set of spy shots, we're striking "all-new" from the record, but the enhancements do appear to be more than just a simple nip/tuck.

The fullsize pickup market is dominated by trucks from Ford, General Motors and Ram, but this segment could get some hefty competition in coming years. We've already reported that Nissan is planning a redesign of its Titan truck for 2015, and now Toyota has announced that it will be revealing the 2014 Tundra next month at the Chicago Auto Show.

text: The second series brought a change in personnel, but the comedy remained the same: Two men at the mercy of their own worst impulses. Gary and his new roommate Tony ('70s flashback Neil Morrissey) both lust after their blonde upstairs neighbor Deborah, often humiliating Gary's "sort of" girlfriend Dorothy along the way. Deborah initially took a fancy to Tony, but a clumsy make-out session and some poorly timed comments turned her interest sour. Gary tries to steal a collectible record of Dorothy's, insults his secretary until she quits, makes a drunken pass at Deborah when they're trapped in an elevator, and generally acts surly, sneaky, and shiftless--all to good comic effect, thanks to Clunes's surprisingly subtle performance. Tony doesn't quite achieve three dimensions in the second series, but Gary's boorishness, though laughable and embarrassing, somehow maintains its humanity. By avoiding outright absurdity (while creeping awfully close to it), Men Behaving Badly keeps its audience emotionally engaged as well as entertained. --Bret Fetzer

Oh, and ZOMG, Julie Benz signed my Season 1 Box set! SQUEE!
The fact that Michael C. Hall married Jennifer Carpenter recently when they play a brother and sister on TV kind of weirds me out. Their scenes together will never quite be the same.

Guilty. I was into the books before the series came out and think casting Michael C. Hall was inspired.]]>

Regarding the overall subject, as an evangelical I certainly don't feel bad about most teenage transgressions. They're forgiven. I especially don't feel bad about the ones that make me laugh. There's some things you can get away with as a teenager that you can't do as an adult. I miss that.
I do feel some remorse over transgressions that had an effect on other people. I may be forgiven, but I worry about whether the other person is and how I may have changed him or her for the worst.]]>
Of course it is a long process to adequately change but if I'm heading in the right direction then I'm OK with whatever experiences got me here.]]>
I also don't want to completely forsake the experiences that made me who I am– the more colorful part as well as the noble– if that makes sense.
…and that's why sanctification is a process. At some point we become willing to give up anything and everything. Luckily, everything is not required.]]>

Nella was born, raised and educated in Italy in a family with a long heritage of visual artists, musicians and poets. Her family history and her life near the Adriatic Sea is what shaped her artistic career. She studied art history and foreign languages. She is a full time artist and works on several canvases at once developing the imagery through a process of surface changes.
Her art is a constant exploration of the relationship between man and his history and becomes a spiritual and intimate journey. With intuition and experience and never following a formula she brings together the alchemy of materials, classical forms and the appearance of centuries of aging in all of her paintings, whether is an abstract, a fresco, a floral, a figurative or even her marine works.
She works in series and mainly with oils and uses cold wax as a medium often adding marble dust to create more texture and depth.
Nella is a juried artist member of: Signature Member of the American Society of Marine Artists; National Associations of Women Artists in NYC; President of the National Association of Women Artists, MA Chapter; Rockport Art Association, Rockport, MA – Board of Trustee; Founder and chair of the Experimental Group of Rockport Art Association; North Shore Art Association, Gloucester, MA

Although it is relatively small, there exists a group of patients afflicted with typical bronchial seizures which are unamenable to medicinal therapy. It is to the amelioration of these attacks in such patients that our attention has been drawn. Only cases of unquestionable bronchial asthma have been selected, and only patients totally incapacitated physically have been subjected to operation. The rationale of the procedure of bilateral resection of the posterior pulmonary plexus is based on the anatomic fact that only at this point can the extrinsic nerve supply of the lung be completely interrupted. The preganglionic efferent fibers of both the vagus and the sympathetic bronchomotor tracts from the same and contralateral sides, together with the sensory or afferent fibers emerging from the lung, form a rather limited anastomosing plexus on the posterior surface of the hilus of the lung. By resection of this plexus it is therefore possible to

NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez tested his sore right ankle with
a few jogs in right field about an hour before game time, then ran
toward the dugout, up a runway and into the New York Yankees'
"I've got to talk to the manager," he said, never stopping as
he went through the door.
A few minutes earlier, Joe Torre had said his limping slugger
likely would be limited to pinch-hitting duty Wednesday night. But
A-Rod talked his way back into the starting lineup against the
Seattle Mariners as the designated hitter after being sent downtown
for an MRI exam.
Then he put on quite a show.
Rodriguez homered twice in an eight-run seventh, becoming the
first Yankees player to connect two times in one inning since Cliff
Johnson on June 30, 1977, at Toronto. Detroit's Magglio Ordonez and
San Francisco's Bengie Molina also accomplished the feat this
The two-time MVP tied the score at 2 with his first homer, a
leadoff shot against Jarrod Washburn. A-Rod's two-run drive with
two outs off Brandon Morrow made it 9-2 New York.
Rodriguez has 48 home runs this year and 512 in his career,
tying Ernie Banks and Eddie Mathews for 17th place. His first homer
came less than a minute after the Yankees announced the MRI exam
revealed a sprain and a bruise.
A-Rod was injured in the seventh inning of Tuesday night's 12-3
victory when he slid into Adrian Beltre and the third baseman
toppled onto his right leg, rolling A-Rod's ankle. Rodriguez came
out at the end of the inning, and postgame X-rays were negative.
He already was in workout clothes when he was told to go for a
scan, and he was upset that he was forced to get the test.
"He didn't call us this morning saying it was a problem, but I
think when our trainers saw that he was limping a little bit, that
they alerted our doctor," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman
said. "I think he probably thinks it's a waste of time. He
self-diagnosed that he is fine."
Torre's original lineup -- posted three hours before the first
pitch -- had A-Rod at third base and batting cleanup, Jorge Posada
at DH and Wilson Betemit at first base. Just before A-Rod's jog,
Torre said he planned to move Betemit to third and have
Jason Giambi at first.
After Rodriguez spoke with Torre, the Yankees said A-Rod would
be the DH and Posada would be removed from the starting lineup for
a rest.
Rodriguez, who leads the majors with 134 RBIs, said the ankle
was more sore than on Tuesday night.
"I don't understand," he said before going for the scan. "I
thought I was ready to roll, but I've got to go downtown."

The Highlanders-University of Otago rugby sponsorship deal
could draw on the strengths of Dunedin brain research, and
make the sport safer, two Otago University academics
suggested yesterday.
Anatomy and psychology senior research fellow Andrew Clarkson
said there was ''major concern'' about the effects of repeat
concussion on the health of rugby players.
''I don't think that there are any negatives with the
university sponsoring the Highlanders, but rather positives.
''I would anticipate that with this partnership, more testing
will be/could be undertaken to understand the impact that
concussions are having on the brain, and how better to
prevent this from happening,'' he said by email.
Dunedin School of Medicine sports medicine authority
David Gerrard agreed, saying access to the team could
engender research to make rugby safer, and find ways to
improve players' longevity.
The partnership fitted well with Dunedin's research strength
in brain health, and with the university's historic ties with
Prof Gerrard said the sport was stringent in detecting and
treating concussion at the elite rugby level, although there
were concerns about its management at high school and junior
rugby level.

Update: Starting in early march 2009, Zecco changed their stock trading fees. In order to get the 10 free trades/month investors must have at least a $25,000 balance in their brokerage account OR they must have executed at least 25 trades for the previous month. Otherwise the commission is still pretty low at $4.50/stock trade.
Zecco, the online stock brokerage has revolutionized online stock trading over the past two years with its ten free trades per month policy, no account minimums and the ever growing investment community that this broker has created on their site. Using Zecco's community you could get in touch with thousands of investors, who are taking advantage of the free stock/ETF trading.
Since I make several trades a month as part of my process to build my dividend portfolio, the free trades that Zecco offers its brokerage customers really saves me some money.
The main reasons why people switch over to Zecco include:
1. Zecco offers 10 free stock trades/month if you open an account, and maintain a balance of $25,000 or execute at least 25 trades/month.
2. After you use the ten free trades per month you are charged only $4.50 for stock trades
3. The execution is instantaneous for market orders and there's no slippage
4. There are no minimum balances to open and keep your brokerage account 5
. There are no monthly inactivity fees for brokerage accounts
6. You can trade stocks, ETFs, options, mutual funds
7. The account opening process is straightforward and there's no paperwork involved – it's all electronic
8. You get free real time quotes and charts with your Zecco account.
9. You can open a Traditional, Roth or Rollover IRA.
10. If you link your brokerage account to your checking/savings account your ACH transfers take 2 business days
The ten free stock trades per month are definitely worth opening an account at Zecco.

The Word of God is the will of God. A will is a testament—it is a list of promises that a person who dies leaves for his loved ones. When Jesus died, all His promises became legally available to us. The promises in His Word are His will. His will is not a mystery, as so many Christians have thought.

The subject line of this post is meant to replicate the mythic clanging noise that punctuates each and every scene on each and every strain of Law & Order, from Law & Order: Original Recipe (forever the best, thanks to S. Epatha and Jerry Orbach, RIP) to Law & Order: Erotic Asphyxiation Unit, starring Jayne Mansfield's daughter and Christopher Meloni, who famously displays his actual butthole in season three of HBO's homoerotic prison series Oz.
But today I'm concerned with my least favorite flavor of L&O: Law & Order: Criminal Intent, an okay show rendered unwatchable by the horrifically mannered acting of Vincent D'Onofrio, who should be ashamed of what he's done.
However, this week's Criminal Intent might be the rare episode worth watching, thanks to the "special guest appearance" by Elizabeth Berkeley. According to Tivo.com, Ms. Berkeley (who once starred in a movie I worship) plays a mysterious woman accused of blackmailing men with phony paternity suitsand I can't wait to see it. Rumor has it that Berkeley's spent her post-Showgirls years learning to do everything she so clearly couldn't in that film, and she gave a perfectly lovely performance in 2002's Roger Dodger. But how will she fare with L&O's merciless dialogue-in-closeup? We shall see…
Law & Order: Elizabeth Berkeley Edition airs this Sunday at 9pm, on NBC.

Anna Stéphany
Representation: General Management
Anna Stéphany is emerging as one of the world's most exciting mezzo sopranos. In demand by both opera companies and orchestras, she is a firm favourite with conductors and directors. Her recording of Handel's Serse for Chandos won critical acclaim, as did her performances of the repertoire of Lorraine Hunt Lieberson. Anna was part of the ensemble at Zürich Opera, she has also sung with major opera companies throughout Europe. Anna studied at the Guildhall and was a winner of the Gold Medal and the Kathleen Ferrier Competition.
Full Biography

"Anna Stéphany graces a stage with charm and poise. Her alluring mezzo soprano voice is effortlessly produced, and her phrasing and sensitivity to text is exceptional."
Rick Perdian, Seen and Heard International (Apr 2016)
Lorraine Hunt Lieberson Tribute Concert – OAE
"It was the Peter Sellars staging of Theodora at Glyndebourne in 1996, conducted by Christie, that gave Hunt Lieberson her most memorable UK role, as the rock-like disciple Irene. So it was little surprise that the singer here who brought Hunt Lieberson's presence most to mind should be Anna Stéphany, with two of Irene's arias. Her low, sonorous tones captured the character's serenity, and she began the reprise of As With Rosy Steps the Morn so quietly that one almost thought her voice might crack; Hunt Lieberson was nothing if not a risk-taker."

You think Alithea sounds like a riot in that post, then you should escort her to the emergency room at 7am for an abcessed tooth like I did one fatefull winter morning.
"Escort Alithea to the Emergency Room at 7 am for an Abcessed Tooth" is totally going in next year's Strangercrombie.
How about a REAL cupcake treat?
I'm very glad that I can read The Stranger online...but auctions like this make me sad I don't live in Seattle.
"Escort Alithea to the Emergency Room at 7 am for an Abcessed Tooth"
I'm putting in my bid of one hundred billion million dollars.
Oh why did you have to bring attention to the fact that this was going for so low. I was so happy I might get to win something this year, hoping to snap it up around $100 at the closing bell, but you've ruined my plan. I know it's going to a good cause, but now I'm not getting anything for X-mas.
I'm pretty sure anything with Alithea would be a riot.
Next year I'd be more than happy to escort anyone to the hospital and keep them company while they wait. You can auction that off.
Joh, would you wear a white vinyl nurse costume too?
For charity? For sure.
Joey SF,
I hear you. I've given up my rainy hometown in the Pacific Northwest for rainy Santa Cruz.
As one of alithea's guests, I can also vouch for the surreal nature of the evening, which had nothing at all to do with the amount of Patron I had.
All I'll say is that discussing anal with Dan Savage is dangerous, as he cracked my girlfriend up by then making eyes at me all night. I swear. It was awkward. So I drank more.
Escorting her may have been a riot but picking her up afterward and then taking photos of her with a pug puppy on her shoulder and a cheek the size of a watermelon was sheer bliss.
Yes, and the lovely pug commenced to pee on her and she was too doped up to protect herself.
When she reads this she's gonna kill me.

As far as A-list managers go, few divide opinion more than Napoli's new boss Rafael Benitez. Which is surprising, given the man's record.
Rafa is one of only a handful of managers to ever break the Barcelona/Real Madrid hegemony in his native Spain. His two Liga titles and UEFA Cup win with Valencia established him as one of the game's most capable coaches, something that was reconfirmed by that remarkable Champions League win with Liverpool in 2005 and to a lesser extent his UEFA Cup win with Chelsea earlier this year.
Nevertheless, doubts about his real worth remain in some quarters.
Benitez remains a cult hero in much of Liverpool, but he is roundly derided in Milan thanks to his difficult time at Inter.
And thanks to his confrontational attitude during his time at Anfield, there were some in London still dead against the Spaniard even after he'd steadied the Chelsea ship in the choppiest of waters, secured Champions League football for next term and even added another European title to boot.
So is this the right man to take Napoli to the next level?
It's hard to say. Walter Mazzarri is a tough act to follow. The Tuscan coach, now at Inter, built a formidable side in Naples and had them playing football that was often the toast of Europe. And this season they finished second, so only going one better and winning a Scudetto could count as real improvement.
That said, Mazzarri's Napoli didn't win as much as some believe they were capable of. And after four years of trying, both the coach and the club seemed to agree that it was time for a change. Which is just what they'll get with Benitez.
The most obvious change will be how the squad lines up on the pitch. Mazzarri's various incarnations of the 3-5-2 formation is not likely to suit Benitez, who favours a more robust 4-5-1.
There are obvious pros and cons to this alteration. Some will see the swap as the end of Napoli's entertaining brand of football, while others will note that the change should see an improvement in an area that's held the Partenopei back: their defence.
Mazzarri's Napoli conceded 50 percent more goals than the eventual Serie A champions Juventus this term, but for the most part only lost games by a one-goal margin.
Looked at a different way, their goal difference was just minus-8 for their six losses this campaign. That's an area obviously ripe for improvement and even marginal gains in the defence department would close the nine-point gap that separated Napoli and Juve this time around.
A sturdier back line shouldn't hamper their efforts going forward too much either, because according to the Lega Serie A (here, in Italian) a massive 44 percent of the goals they conceded came right before the end of each half. That suggests that the problems are more mental or physical as the players tire and the system is broken down by their opponents. Benitez is known for always being defensively prepared, so his Napoli side should be more robust.
There's another aspect to Benitez's appointment that signals change, too, though it's less easy to quantify. By signing Rafa, Napoli have secured one of the continent's most high-profile managers.
Benitez comes with an impressive CV. Few have been more successful in Europe and he'd been linked to the Real Madrid job following Jose Mourinho's departure. His signature is a signal of intent from Aurelio De Laurentiis, the successful film producer who knows better than most that a big name is good box office.
The fact that Benitez sees a future for himself in Naples shows how serious De Laurentiis takes Napoli's title credentials—and hints that he's willing to spend to prove it.
Napoli have had a good run for a side outside of Italy's traditional northern axis of power, but they're at a crossroads now. They either go all in and see how far they can get or settle into the role of a mid-table, selling club and hope that every few years a young crop of talent leads to some small success.
Getting Rafa on the bench says that De Laurentiis favours the former. Rafa's biggest bone of contention throughout his career has always been signings, and there's no way he's gone to Naples without assurances on the competitiveness of his squad.
He clashed with Jesus Pitarch at Valencia and with George Gillett and Tom Hicks at Liverpool. His time at the former certainly saw plenty of movement in the transfer market, but as the pro-Rafa camp is always quick to point out, the famous "net spend" was actually quite modest for six seasons at a major EPL club (here, via the Telegraph).
He almost immediately came into conflict with Massimo Moratti at Inter over the president's unwillingness to spend, too. Benitez believed that Mourinho's incredible treble run the previous season had papered over the cracks at the San Siro and wanted to rebuild. Three years on, even the most fervent Interista would now probably concede that he was right.
He'll find no such squabbles in Naples. De Laurentiis wants a championship team, and by doing all he can to hang on to Edinson Cavani, he's proving it. The speculation surrounding Napoli's star player is one of the biggest transfer stories this summer, but the Azzurri are holding fast to their man—at least for now.
Is Rafa the right man for the Napoli job?
Mazzarri will be back to Naples with Moratti's chequebook, but that might suit Benitez. The shift from a three-man back line is going to require some new faces and some spaces on the squad sheet. Some quick sales to Inter can get things moving.
This will be an interesting year in Naples. The triumphant Juventus and a resurgent AC Milan look like the early title favourites, but there's a lot happening at Inter and Roma as well, so title success certainly won't come easy for the new boss.
And as mentioned earlier, anything less than another second-place finish in the league might be taken for a step backward by the Napoli faithful. Or it might be seen as the zenith of the Mazzarri era, one marked by development and consolidation more than success.
For all his success at the San Paolo, there was the feeling that Mazzarri's time had run its course. A fine coach, certainly, but perhaps one in need of a change. His Napoli were roundly beaten by Juve in the end, and unlikely to improve next term.
He also lacked continental experience and for a club like Napoli, the ability to shepherd the team to the late stages of European competition would be of great financial benefit.
Benitez is an old hand on the European stage, and a good Champions League run with a top-three league finish and perhaps some cup glory would signal an advance on last year's runner-up spot. A short-term negative, perhaps, but also a step forward into a new age of genuine potential.

Calcium performs diverse biological functions in the human body and is a micronutrient essential to human health and well-being. It serves as a second messenger for nearly every biological process, stabilizes many proteins, and in deficient amounts is associated with a large number diseases and disorders. In Calcium in Human Health, a panel of highly respected researchers and clinical practitioners comprehensively reviews the state of our knowledge concerning this ubiquitous micronutrient, not only demonstrating its importance to human health, but also defining its many complex roles. The authors summarize the latest basic scientific information on the cellular and metabolic functions of calcium, explaining the leading techniques for accurately measuring its bioavailability, absorption, and kinetics, and showing that calcium deficiency is a major problem while calcium excess a rare one. They also examine the complex regulation of calcium absorption, distribution, and excretion, as well as the multiple interactions of diet, lifestyle, and physical activity in calcium homeostasis. Their discussion of the specific roles of calcium in a variety of clinical disorders-osteoporosis, oral health, obesity, reproductive disorders, and the metabolic syndrome-provides new insights and raises new questions. The complex changes in calcium and phosphate regulation that occur in renal disease and the potential role of calcium in hypertension and vascular disease are also addressed.
Comprehensive and authoritative, Calcium in Human Health offers health professionals and researchers a vast amount of current information on the sources, biological function, interactions, and disease implications of calcium, a critical benchmark resource for improving the health outcomes of individuals, finding new drugs that alter the function of the extracellular calcium receptor, setting adequate dietary requirements, and developing new disease-prevention programs.

this is a novice question regarding Azure and general cloud technology.
I am trying to understand how exactly the Azure platform will scale my application and do I need to do anything for it to perform well.
I have an application (C#) that process incoming data and is composed of many classes. Each time a relevant calculation is needed, a new class is instantiated and sits in memory until it finishes its work, then it stays there and listens for new calculation requests via events (until explicitly being disposed of). Of course, this consumes resources. The application might have tenth and hundred of thousands of those instances listening and answering calculation requests.
Question is, will the cloud just grow my environment resources as new instance are loaded, until when? Will there be a moment where I can't start new instances, or current instances calculations is overloading the system? I don't care about it from the budget side, only from the operational one: Will the cloud be capable of seamlessly manage it in my behalf or do I need to do anything else in my code?
Thank you

Scientists think bacteria could make for batteries that are cheaper and safer than the ones we have now.

OTP Bank Advances as Japan Extends Asset Buys: Budapest Mover
OTP Bank Nyrt., Hungary's largest lender, advanced after the Bank of Japan decided to extend its asset purchase program.
OTP advanced 0.3 percent to 3,992 forint by 12:02 p.m. in Budapest, reducing this week's loss to 2.4 percent. The BUX stock index rose 0.3 percent to 18,935.57, heading for the highest close this week. Mol Nyrt., the country's biggest refiner, rose 0.3 percent after the country's largest refiner opened order books for the sale of a dollar-denominated corporate bond.
Commodities advanced for the first time in three days and the yen weakened after the Bank of Japan unexpectedly boosted its asset-purchase program. European shares were little changed, while gold climbed to a six-month high and Spain's bonds rallied.
"The extended bond purchase program announced this morning by the Bank of Japan may bring about only temporary optimism on markets," Budapest-based traders at Commerzbank AG, led by Peter Karsai, wrote in a note today.
The BOJ's board enlarged the central bank's easing program, in which it buys mainly government debt, by 10 trillion yen ($126 billion) to 55 trillion yen in a unanimous decision, according to a statement. The board left unchanged a separate facility that extends credit to banks at 25 trillion yen.

The reddish pink lip color seen in people with fair skin is produced by the underlying blood vessels; the skin of the lips is so thin that in the absence of melanin pigment, the "tint" of the blood vessels is visible through the skin.

My fiancé's laptop started to crash and would get BSOD errors to the point that she couldn't even boot up because it would either take forever or just crash.
So I figured I'd try to reformat, as it's done this before and this was the solution last time.
On Windows 7, it will not go passed the "Setup is starting..." screen. On Windows XP, it crashes once the setup is about to start (BSOD).
I shut it down and let it sit for 5+ hours, in case it was overheating, but it's doing the same thing anyway.
By now, I figure it's something to do with the hardware but I hope not.
Any ideas?
