It has been four years since Brokeback Mountain touched the hearts of gay viewers, and many of us have been pining ever since for another movie to reflect and evoke our experiences in an authentic way. Well, I'm happy to report the wait is over! A Single Man opens in limited release this Friday and will expand across the US on Christmas Day.
Colin Firth stars as George Falconer, a college literature professor grieving the loss of his lover, Jim (Matthew Goode, who played the sexually ambiguous Ozymandias in the recent Watchmen). Jim died eight months earlier in an automobile accident. The men met at the end of World War II and were happily together 16 years (the film is set in 1962).
Increasingly lonely and unable to function effectively without Jim, George resolves to end his life. The film follows George during the course of what is intended to be his last day. As he goes about getting his affairs in order and making other preparations for his suicide, we gain glimpses into George's past and George himself sees unexpected signs of hope for his future should he choose not to kill himself.
We meet Charley, a life-long friend of George's played by the always-great Julianne Moore. Charley has a particular affection for Tanqueray gin ("I like the color of the bottle," she tells George. "You like what's inside it," he replies in one of their comically honest exchanges) as well as for George. Viewers are also introduced to one of George's students, Kenny (young cutie Nicholas Hoult), whose own unique feelings for George develop during the course of the movie.
Based on a 1964 novel of the same title by gay writer Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man marks the screenwriting and directorial debuts of fashion designer Tom Ford. Ford's fine eye for detail is evident throughout the film, from the fluctuating photographic color scheme to the amazing period props, cars and set pieces to, of course, the costumes (the exquisite fashions in the film weren't designed by Ford but by Arianne Phillips). Indeed, A Single Man is the most slavishly-devoted-to-period-detail film since 2002's Far from Heaven, which also starred Moore and was written and directed by out filmmaker Todd Haynes.
I can't say enough about how good A Single Man is in terms of both its overall artistry and depiction of homosexual life. Not only is it the best gay-themed film of 2009 (and I'm not forgetting this year's earlier Little Ashes, an excellent exploration of the love affair between artist Salvador Dali and poet Federico García Lorca), but I dare say it is one of the best ever. While the gay characters are necessarily closeted for 1962, they are far from the self-loathing homosexuals of many movies of the past with queer characters. This includes Brokeback Mountain.
George and Jim are fully accepting of themselves and are unapologetically gay. They remain so despite Jim's parents' condemnation of their relationship, as well as the straight family man next door's assertion that the neighbors are "light in their loafers." George delivers a powerful, impromptu lecture to his students — intended to be his last — on how social minorities are the victims of the majority's fear. Though George doesn't mention homosexuals specifically among the minorities he lists, his point is so strong and truthful that he doesn't have to for listeners to get the point.
A Single Man is also undeniably erotic. Firth and Goode have romantic and sexual chemistry to spare between them, and Hoult does a striptease for George (after they have both gone skinny-dipping) during the film's surprising climax. All three actors show plenty of skin in the film but Ford presents the nudity artfully, which makes it all the sexier in my opinion. I would be remiss if I didn't note the über-sexy Jon Kortajarena as well, as a James Dean-ish hustler who tries to pick George up.
The film may traffic in dark themes and issues of mortality, loss, loneliness, oppression and suicide, but it certainly isn't humorless. Ford, co-writer David Scearce and, no doubt, original author Isherwood infuse George's plight with unexpected wit without it being in bad taste. I predict gay men will be quoting the script's funnier lines in the future.
Finally, Firth (who also played gay in last year's Mamma Mia!) is emerging as a likely Oscar contender for his performance as George. He has already won the Best Actor award at this year's Venice Film Festival, and it would be the British actor's first, somewhat overdue nomination for an Academy Award. Firth is simply wonderful in A Single Man.
Anyone — gay, lesbian, straight or other — who has lost a loved one will identify with George's experience. As much as I expect gay men to fawn over this film, it tells an ultimately universal story that I hope will touch mainstream moviegoers as well.

Isamu McGregor
Keyboard Collective
Pianist/keyboardist, composer and arranger Isamu McGregor has established himself as an in-demand musician across a wide range of genres, from jazz to pop/R&B to hip hop.
Described as "a pianist for the new generation" (Tony Moreno) and a "jazz pianist and keyboard player of the first order" (LiveUnsigned.com), Isamu leads or MD's a number of bands while maintaining a busy performance schedule as a sideman. He plays his original music – a unique blend of modern jazz, fusion, hip hop and funk – with his electric quartet Aquarium Test, while also composing music for various groups, from pop/R&B bands to large jazz ensembles.
Over the years, he has had the good fortune to perform with a "dizzying variety of collaborators" (theJazzMann.com), including Wayne Krantz, Chris Potter, Keith Carlock, James Genus, GZA (Wu-Tang Clan), Tortured Soul, Bennie Maupin, Ari Hoenig, Virgil Donati, Lenny Pickett, Stefon Harris, Francisco Mela, Anthony Crawford, Larry Koonse, Evan Marien, Dana Hawkins, Felix Pastorius, Justin Brown, Panagiotis Andreou, Gene Coye, Tony Moreno, Francesco Bearzatti and many more.
Isamu was born into a musical family in Los Angeles, California on September 5, 1989. To find out what other cool things happened on that exact day, click here! (Isamu regrets that Paula Abdul had a Number-One hit on the day of his birth, and he promises that it in no way influenced his musical upbringing)
He began taking classical piano lessons at the age of 5, and continued to do so for the next 10 years. While he was in middle school, Isamu's dad brought home a "jazz" CD – Greg Mathieson's "Live at the Baked Potato", featuring Michael Landau, Abraham Laboriel and Vinnie Colaiuta. It took a while for Isamu to believe his dad when he was told that this was "jazz". In his mind, jazz was the mainstream stuff you heard on the radio – swingin', straight ahead, old-school. But this was crazy and loud, rhythmic and obscenely groovy! It was this record in particular that piqued his interest in the inherent possibilities of jazz music.
Over the course of his four years at high school, Isamu eventually switched from classical piano to jazz full-time. His classical training, along with a strong ear, helped him progress rapidly, both as a player and a composer. Musical influences from these years are all over the map, from Art Tatum to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Herbie Hancock to Led Zeppelin to Lenny Kravitz to Rage Against the Machine (for those more intimate moments). It was this fusion of so many different musical interests that helped Isamu begin to shape his unique sound on the piano.
In 2007, Isamu moved to New York City to study jazz at New York University. Immersing himself in the jazz mecca of the world was a humbling and influential experience, and it inspired him to go shed! He honed his craft under the tutelage of a number of great musicians, including Jean-Michel Pilc, Wayne Krantz, Chris Potter, Francesco Bearzatti, Greg Burk, Andy Milne, Don Friedman, Tony Moreno, Ralph Lalama, Martin Wind and Ralph Alessi.
Isamu has performed at many bangin' venues with a wealth of different artists, including the 55 Bar (NYC), the Blue Note (NYC), Birdland (NYC), Baked Potato (LA), the Iridium (NYC), Smalls (NYC), Best Buy Theater (NYC), the NAMM Show (Anaheim, CA), Blue Whale (LA), House of Blues (Boston), Electric Factory (Philly), Jazz Gallery (NYC), Blue Note Milan (Italy), Torrione Jazz Club (Ferrara, IT), Catalina Jazz Club (LA), BB King's (NYC and LA), Bowery Ballroom (NYC), City Winery (NYC), The Rex (Toronto), Cliff Bell's (Detroit), Gramercy Theater (NYC), Key Club (LA), and Nuyorican Poets Cafe (NYC). His music has been featured on a nationally televised HGTV special, and he has also spent time with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines touring throughout Europe.
Future plans include an electronic-music EP under the pseudonym "Amorphous Paraphernalia", a Weird Al-esque parody album (with Isamu playing all the instruments), domestic/international touring with various groups, and occasionally sleeping.
Isamu is proud to to be an artist endorser for Nord keyboards.
Isamu is available for Private lessons.

Gov. Chris Christie and Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer visits Red Cross workers at a relief center set up at the Elks Club during a tour in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
(John Munson/The Star-Ledger)
HOBOKEN— The city council on Wednesday cleared a Hoboken redevelopment attorney to testify about discussions he had with Mayor Dawn Zimmer related to her allegations against Gov. Chris Christie's administration.
The council approved a resolution to waive Zimmer's attorney-client privilege in relation to conversations with Joseph Maraziti Jr., who represents the city in cases involving redevelopment. The resolution paves the way for Maraziti to answer questions from the U.S. Attorney or the joint legislative committee investigating both the George Washington Bridge scandal and Zimmer's claims that Hurricane Sandy aid was withheld as political retaliation.
The resolution adds another witness to a scandal that has gained momentum over the last few months. Earlier this year, Zimmer accused Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno of threatening her during an event at a city supermarket last year. Zimmer alleges that Guadagno told her that Sandy aid was contingent on Zimmer supporting the Rockefeller Group's development project. The threat was repeated by other officials, according to Zimmer.
The measure also comes roughly a week after a report by attorneys working for Christie's office concluded that Zimmer's claims were not substantiated. Zimmer called the report a "one-sided whitewash."
Some of the council members on Wednesday had misgivings about the resolution, saying that the council has largely been left out of discussions involving the federal and state investigations. They also raised concerns over the timing of the resolution. Earlier this month, the council approved upping its year-long contract with Maraziti's law firm, Maraziti, Falcon & Healy, by up to $100,000.
Councilwoman Beth Mason, who opposed the resolution, said that while she supported cooperating with authorities, she didn't feel that the measure adequately protected the city. A condition of the resolution is that the waiver only applies to communications with Zimmer and other city officials that pertain to the investigation.
"My obligation is to the citizens of Hoboken," she said. "I don't believe we have enough information."
Councilman Michael Russo agreed that the council hasn't been involved in the investigations, but voted in favor of the resolution in the spirit of cooperating with the investigation.
"This council has been left in the dark," Russo said. "If there's any wrongdoing on anyone's part, we need to know about that."
Mason was alone in voting against the resolution. Councilwoman Theresa Castellano abstained. Zimmer and Maraziti were not present when the resolution passed. A spokesman for the city did not immediately return requests for comment Wednesday night.

This is a true story, a series of events that transpired in my life which I deemed necessary to expose and by so doing alert others to vigilance. Naturally, the subject matter is sensitive both for me and all parties involved. I can never discount the relevance of demons, deny their reality and their harassing ways. If and when I was to do so, I would magnify the role of human agents. Frequently, even mature Christians underestimate the magnitude of the spiritual warfare enlisted in from the time of the new birth. We are in a severe struggle, persistently and subtly driven by powerful, spiritual opposing forces beyond our comprehension. Often we rely on human resources and fail to use the spiritual source available to us through the power of the Holy Spirit. I fell in the fourth generation of my maternal fore-parents' lineage to suffer unnecessary heartbreaking consequences because of spiritual ignorance. Since I came to see "the light" of Jesus Christ, I made up my mind to loose all yokes of bondage over my generation and the ones to come after me should Christ tarry. I now know demonic spirits are to be kept afar and never be trusted. Even though at times through subtlety we may be deceived to think that certain spirits work for the good and well-being of a person, such deception should be seen as a trap, a means of securing the individual into a mesh. Sooner or later, such individual will be caught unaware and conquered. It should never be a surprise how the Devil, the starch enemy of the saints, will use anyone, "foe" and often those who would be considered "ally," to win a person over to cause him to fall. Read on and enjoy this treat to your spiritual health!

Lyrics of Philippine Folk Songs with Example
Folk Songs in the Philippines
One trait of Filipinos would be love for music. This is reflected even during their pre-colonial eras where their ancestors have already been making music and lyrical poetry. By analyzing the music of a certain time or era, you can also get a glimpse at what kind of history and living conditions they had. You can see their culture and way of life and even get to unravel the many different aspects of their consciousness.
There are many different kinds of Folk songs that come from the Philippines and as I have said they all reflect different cultures and traditions of the different regions. For instance, folk songs from the north would be very different from the south and they tackle different issues as well. This shows how diverse the Philippines really is most especially when it comes to culture and traditions. There are so many dialects and mixtures of ethnicities and this is why their folk songs are also very diverse.
There are many examples of Philippine Folk songs. This was usually used in tribal communities for festivities and was passed on by word of mouth from generation to generation. The interest of the ancestors in music are also reflected in the old instruments they used to have and used to make music. Materials used were typical in the Philippine environment such as wood or bamboo or even animal skin. But even without the instruments Philippine folk songs would still exist because for as long as their literary consciousness were creating poetry or Philippine Epics, they could still turn these into songs just by even adding a simple rhythm or melody.
Discovering Filipino Folk Songs
Nowadays, we tend to forget the importance of discovering the older folk songs and just listen to international music. It is important to always look back at our roots and rediscover what their music is like and what kind of songs they used to sing and write. There are many resources out there where you can find Filipino folk songs and their lyrics. You can even easily get a hold of them online. Just by being in front of your computer, you can easily have access to the beautiful music of the Philippines.
There are many different musicians that are now still influenced heavily by Philippine folk songs. And this is a good way of preserving the cultures and traditions of the different regions in the country. It can show how the Filipinos have always been independent and sovereign and did not need the colonists to intervene with their personal lives and communities.
But also, as I have said, since there were a lot of colonists who occupied the Philippines, the Spanish even staying in the country for over three hundred years, many of the folk songs are influenced by the different cultures and traditions of these foreigners.

Other than the all-you-eat avoirdupois of the Fat Boys, it's difficult to imagine a rap group with a more appropriate name than People Under the Stairs. After all, while local peers Dilated Peoples, Jurassic 5, and Ugly Duckling inked major label deals to capitalize on the ephemeral underground rap rush of the late 90s/early 00s, the duo of Thes One and Double K spent the majority of their ten-year career so subterranean that only the most dedicated heads were aware of their existence.
"We do well in LA now, but it has been a slow, slow build," says the Peruvian-born, LA-raised Thes One. "We realized early on that to survive, we needed to be on the road. We'd been around the world ten times and done Glastonbury, Redding, and Leeds before people had even thought about leaving LA. And we've never been heralded by any local media."
Few things are triter than underground rappers bemoaning perceived slights, but Thes One has a point. Just recently, I wrote a piece for this very publication listing the most notable local rappers of the last 15 years, and egregiously overlooked People Under the Stairs. My bad. But that's been the general rule, despite a discography that ranks as the deepest and most consistent of any of their indie boom-brethren. Indeed, save for the occasional off-hand pejorative condescendingly labeling them "backpackers" or "boom-bap revivalists," the critical cognoscenti have mostly ignored People Under the Stairs.
"We knew from the first time we went to Europe that we'd eventually catch on here," says Thes's partner, Double K, sanguinely. "Urb put us in their Next 100 once, but that was it. It didn't help our stature that we were selective in who we associated with. We didn't just jump on every show bill; we wanted to keep our brand a mystery."
Opacity has been a chief characteristic of the pair since they first hooked up in the mid-90s at now-shuttered Martin's Records on Pico -- when Thes, an up-and-coming producer at Loyola High School, bumped into K, who'd already earned modest local renown for his beats and work in Log Cabin, a loose collective that included several future Living Legends (including fellow Hamilton High classmate, Murs). Tension was rife between the teens, as mutual friends had stoked animosity between the two hip-hop fiends.
"We were either going to fight or sort it out peacefully," Thes One recalls nostalgically. "K had a cassette on him and we opted to go beat for beat. We connected immediately; we were two guys who cared about music surrounded by a million dudes with backpacks who wrote rhymes. No one else around us was listening to Freestyle Fellowship, Led Zeppelin and the
(scene from Wes Craven's original People Under the Stairs)
Opting to join forces -- and thus, keep their beats for themselves -- the pair amicably parted from previous groups and became People Under the Stairs, named after the 1991 Wes Craven horror flick and a shared penchant for secrecy. Keeping their plans discreet, the newly-formed duo rode the tail wind of the glory years of LA independent hip-hop, with the Project Blowed scene and fabled Unity shows providing a fertile womb for the next generation.
Finally emerging with the self-released, 1998's The Next Step, an auspicious, left-field gem studded with esoteric psych, soul and jazz samples and b-boy boasts, P.U.T.S. were met with a lukewarm local reception. While their peers drew major label-suitors, People were forced to beg Fat Beats to sell their debut on consignment. According to Thes, part of it stemmed from their more eclectic aesthetic, a hodgepodge of the jazzy flirtations of Tribe Called Quest, the goofy, laid-back attitude of the Pharcyde and the stoner insouciance of The Beatnuts. By contrast, Dilated enlisted producers like DJ Premier and Alchemist to create an ominous mid-90s New York sound, while Jurassic 5 mined the old-style harmonies of the Cold Crush Brothers and Furious 5.
"People Under the Stairs never had the right promotion," says Mark Luv, the long-time LA radio personality/DJ legend and one of the group's first supporters. "Take a group like Dilated. They had a lucrative deal to have albums released on both Capitol and ABB, so they got double promo. It didn't help that Thes and K wouldn't come into Fat Beats and hang out all day. Plus, Dilated had Babu, J5 had Cut Chemist and Nu-Mark; deejays run record stores and look out for their own."
Ultimately hooking up with tiny, predominantly electronic Bay Area indie, Om Records, the group relentlessly toured Europe. Back in the states, Dilated and J5 became the city's standard-bearers and Peanut Butter Wolf and Madlib started to build Stones Throw into hip-hop's best label.
Settled into the role of the quiet, cult favorite, P.U.T.S. churned out a pair of subterranean classics in 2000's Question in the Form of an Answer and 2002's O.S.T. (Original Soundtrack) --two records that set them apart from their friendly rivals, but also shared with them a thorough, atavistic reverence for hip-hop history and culture. While such scholasticism often breeds orthodoxy, Thes and Double K stayed proudly irreverent, lambasting narrow-minded academics trying to over-simplify hip hop into the four basic elements, as well as the "super-lyrical" MC types so pervasive in the underground.
Despite the weak embrace they initially received, few native artists have so diligently paid homage to their hometown. Including at least one LA track on each record, the group name-drop everything from Crescent Heights to San Pedro, the 310 area code, late UNITY mastermind Bigga B, Tommy's Burgers and El Cholo. The local love culminated with September's Gold Dust-released Fun DMC, where the group rigged mics in a friend's backyard at 42nd and Vermont to capture the sundry sounds of the city.
"To us, LA is the BBQs, the dominos, the stories. The BBQ is this city's campfire, the place where everyone comes together to catch up," says Thes one.

Still unsung a decade deep into their careers, the group have finally managed to accumulate a respectable and fiercely loyal, local fan base, one that recently proved their allegiance by besieging Amoeba Records with calls when they initially refused to grant P.U.T.S an in-store. Perhaps equally meaningful to the group have been co-signs from the likes of Chuck D, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Biz Markie, the latter of whom surprised Thes with a phone call on April Fool's Day to tell him how much he enjoyed the group.
With solo albums on the docket and no plans to give up the ghost anytime soon, People Under the Stairs' main goal remains unchanged from their humble origins.
"We're still working hard to break through the glass ceiling," Thes One said. "One of these days, maybe you'll see us on MTV or the radio, but if we do, it won't be because we've changed who we are. At the end of the day, it's about being original and making good music. Its been a crazy trip."
People Under the Stairs perform tonight (Friday, Dec. 20) at the El Rey. Also on the bill are Ugly Duckling, Cut Chemist and DJ Mark Luv.

Quality: the key to sustainable success
DB focuses on customer satisfaction to bring the economic, social and environmental dimensions into harmony for the long term
We want to be a profitable quality leader, top employer and eco-pioneer by 2020. Sustainable business success and social acceptance are absolutely essential for progress and for a future of operational excellence, customer focus and innovative solutions. That's why we have taken our DB2020+ strategy to the next level, for more quality and sustainable success.
We want to be a profitable market leader, top employer and an eco-pioneer by 2020. Before we can reach our goal of becoming the world's leading mobility and logistics provider, we must first ensure that our company will be successful over the long term and that it achieves widespread acceptance by society.
We are firmly establishing sustainability in our company's strategy and organization, step by step.
To implement our DB2020+ strategy we have developed an integrated target system at Group and business unit level. This will ensure that we will be able to measure our progress and that the sustainability drive is put into action in a balanced way.
All business units and service centers have taken DB2020+ as a basis for developing their own strategies, which they have backed by measures.
For the first time, beginning in 2013 the variable pay for executives and employees in leadership roles will be based not only on economic success but also on customer and employee satisfaction and environmental results.
And for the first time, we have appointed a chief sustainability officer (CSO) at Group level. Dr. Rüdiger Grube will assume this role. The Sustainability Competence Center governs sustainability management in the Group.
Our current Integrated Report is available online.

Earlier this year, we brought you word that Nokia has decided to place all of their eggs in a single basket – which means that they do not have any Plan B so to speak, throwing their entire lot with the Windows Phone ecosystem. I guess it was rather premature to go along with the general consensus, as Finnish phone manufacturer Nokia has stepped forward to claim that they do have a Windows Phone 'contingency plan', after all.
Chairman Risto Siilasmaa dropped hints over a live Finnish TV talk show that Nokia has a backup plan just in case the upcoming Windows Phone 8 software tanks. Risto Siilasmaa is also F-Secure's founder and former chief executive, having appointed as Nokia's board chairman just a couple of months ago, and has thrown his weight behind Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system that more or less signalled the end of Symbian on most of Nokia's handsets. Just what do you think Nokia's Plan B actually is?

An overview of the Alteco
The vertical drying system Alteco allows flexible, high-performance drying and hardening processes of all protective paints and casting compounds that can be hardened with convection heat. The system consists of two process towers, which are each divided into four heating zones, and a downstream, segmented cooling tract. The circuit boards are loaded into goods carriers at the furnace infeed. These run through the drying process in the system in a vertical direction and are stacked on top of each other during the hardening process.
1. Infeed/loading
In the infeed area, the painted sub-assembly is handed over to the transport system via the supply belt. Sensors record the width for each circuit board. A grabber pushes the circuit board onto the goods carrier, which is previously adjusted to the width of the printed circuit board to be loaded and measured. During the loading process, each goods carrier is precisely fixed, positioned and centred. A multiple loading of the goods carrier is possible.
2. Circulating transport system
The sub-assembly in the goods carrier is transported through the system on a circulating goods carrier mechanism. The cycle time is adjustable. Via a cross-beam, the goods carriers are moved under the ascending tower, where they are taken over by a stroke mechanism. After running through the towers, the goods carriers are transported to the unloading station by means of a second cross-beam. The empty goods carriers are clocked into the loading station again.
3. Clever stacking principle
The mechanics during the drying process in the process towers work according to a vertical stacking principle. The stroke mechanism stacks the goods carriers over one another. They are equipped with spacer pins so that they are securely positioned. No running chains, oils or lubricants are necessary for the entire transport. A transfer transport mechanism hands over the goods carriers at the highest point into the descending tower. The de-stacking is done in reverse order. All drives and mechanical guideways are in the cold process area, for reliable and long-lasting transport.
4. Air feed
The heating system in the process towers works according to the convection principle in circulating air operation. The temperature can be separately regulated in all eight heating zones. A specially developed air feed guarantees even warming of all construction elements. The supply air can be pre-heated and pre-set individually in the volume flow depending on the heating zone. The waste air volume is also separately regulated per zone. The system can thus be ideally coordinated to the volume of paint and the solvent throughput.
5. Cooling tract
The downstream cooling tract consists of three transport segments that adapt automatically to the respective transport width. Cooled air is blown from above and below onto the sub-assembly per segment. Via a heat exchanger, the waste air is handed over from the internal to the external water cycle and thus transported away from the production room in an energyefficient manner.
6. Software
The system is controlled by software via a touch interface. All relevant process parameters are documented. The width setting and the precise positioning of the goods carriers thus run fully automatically. In addition, the loading status of the goods carriers and the internal temperature of the heating zones (among other things) can be monitored. SMEMA interfaces ensure the integration of the system in each production line.
Alteco with integrated cooling zone
The basic structure of Alteco with integrated cooling section corresponds to that of Alteco with external cooling section. Zoning within the heating towers is different, though. The first tower houses heating zones 1 to 4. The second tower houses heating zones 5 and 6 and the cooling section. This principle is suitable for assemblies that require shorter process throughput times due to their lower mass or are not processed directly afterwards and can therefore cool down in downstream magazines.


text: We recently spent a couple of weeks in Virginia visiting family. This was the first time the kids have cried because they were really sad to leave their cousins. My SIL thought of the idea to use Skype to keep in touch. We've used it a few times and the kids love it. They get so excited when we are getting connected. When talking to their cousins, they usually show each other their stuffed animals, and talk about what they have been up to that day. We even took our cousins on a trip though the house using my laptop cam. It has been fun!

I wanted to take the time and dedicate a page to answering this question. I often get the question by people who don't know me, or who wonder why I am so passionate about my blog and the books I select to review.
First off, let me tell you, in case you didn't know this, Yes I am a Mormon. So being raised as a Mormon, I have been taught to value all that is honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in do good to all men. Don't freak out, this is actually quite good, and even makes us Mormons pretty ok if we try to really put this into practice.
That being said, it is not the only or main purpose why I read ONLY clean books.
For years I have found it hard to find good books. I would try a new book, get to 75% and then hit a very explicit sex scene. I hated when that happened. I was so set on finding out what was going to happen, and had gotten into the story, and then that got thrown into the mix. To avoid stuff like that I generally ended up reading the same authors over and over again, and many times Inspirational Romance. Now, not that there aren't good Inspirational Romances out there, but I have had enough to last me a lifetime. I find them too preachy, very dry, and sometimes sooo over the top (Need I say more 🙂 ).
When I was bored out of my mind with these same books over and over again, I started looking for good romantic reads that are clean, fun,
entertaining, and not at all the pushy Christian Romance. I soon discovered that there are many books out there. You just need to know where to look for them.
My hope for you reading my blog, is to find a place where you can find entertaining books that are clean. I realize that standards may vary. Not all the books up on my blog have characters that live the same standards that I try to live by, but I will always review books that don't have offensive language or explicit sex scenes in them. I have worked with many review blogs in the past. Many screen the books. One company even claimed to only distribute clean books. Imagine my shock when I came to the last part of a book I signed on to review, and tumbled into a particularly raunchy scene. When confronting them on their policy, and this discrepancy, they didn't remove the book. There is a need for screening, and platforms for readers looking for real CLEAN READS!
I understand that this makes me different from a lot of bloggers out there, especially living in Europe. But that is alright by me. I'm fine with being a little weird that way. I'd rather be weird than untrue to myself.

The first day of our holiday started in typical fashion, with some hiccups. My hungover husband collected the campervan from a very crowded Appollo office whose management had, in an inspired moment, only employed one person on the desk to deal with the first day of the Easter school holidays. Hours after leaving to pick it up, he arrived back home in the best thing since sliced bread. Oh the excitement! I couldn't stop squealing, the children were going mad, our baby ran around shouting, it was all too much! With great joy we took off down Anzac parade headed for Gundegai. It was already 2:30; we hadn't had lunch but we had to get going so we could get there before dark.
By the time we reached the Moore Park Supa Centre, the battle between good and evil had begun in the back, with the Evil Twin winning hands down. Truly evil, she is capable of reducing the Good Twin to tears with only a dirty look. Then the 8-year-old joined in on the dark side and we all suffered. This carried on till we were 9 miles from Gundegai when the Good Twin retaliated by unleashing a tantrum of such magnitude it shook us to our very cores. None were spared her wrath. She was terrible. She turned on her father whom she chased around the Dog on the Tuckerbox BP, and hurled the worst insults ever heard from a 6-year-old. She emerged from hell about 1/2 an hour later as we pulled into the Gundegai River Caravan Park exhausted and teary, but ultimately victorious.
We parked in the darkness (wow there are a lot of stars out here!) and got our place set up. I couldn't get the electricity working until I discovered I was cooking with gas. We ate dinner, and all went to bed. We were tired and stressed, and then, because that wasn't enough, we almost froze to death during the night. All this, in the comfort of our own home….
The next day, after we had figured out that the campsite's power point was not working (no electricity, no heater), and we had another camper jump start our flat battery (left the headlights on), we set off for the wineries of Rutherglen. I found my copy of "Around the World in 80 Ways" and had a pep talk with the kids. We decided to start again from "3 – 2 – 1 – NOW!" We all told each other how much we loved each other, and then I remembered how much I loved wine and got all excited again about our next adventure.

Because we've always done it this way...
Ever hear the story of the young woman who asked her mother why she cut the end off the end of the roast before baking? Her mother answered, "Because your grandmother always did it that way." So, they ask Grandma who says "My oven was too small for a full size roast."
Anyway, I like to keep up with new innovative tools and such. So, recently I spent a little time watching presentations of the merits of a certain brand of push blocks, tapering jigs, dado jigs, sleds and a couple more on the merits of a sliding table saw.
As I watched I thought of the expenses: $4k for a cabinet saw, $300 for jigs, $300 for a sled, and $7k+ for a sliding table saw.
Frankly, it's a little like trying to make Guttenburg's press more user friendly.
Every cut those jigs are designed to make can be done with less fuss and more safety on the EZ1. And the EZ1 costs less and is portable.
That's my rant for the day.
I would LOOOOVE to see a video that shows a series of typical cuts first on a live wood machine, such as a table saw - necessary jigs included, or a router table ...
(I'm thinking about rip cuts, cross cuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, dados, grooves, rabbets, ... basic stuff .... not sure what non-basic stuff would be useful)
... and then do the same cuts using the EZ Smart tools using rails and/or EZ-One (such as rips using the EZSmart Clamp System, the UEG, and the EZ-One), and the Super Smart Router Kit (SSRK).
It should include short descriptions of the basic setup process for each - to be complete, such as setting stops or measuring for the cuts.
I'm not talking about the super-user stuff that Rick and others do with home-made jigs. That is impressive, but I'm picturing a more basic user skill level.
I've been reading about how video bloggers take the videos using somewhat high end video capable digital SLR's - with remote sound capability. Got some sticker shock when I saw the price for that kind of gear.
Ken K.
I've had the same thoughts about the videos. A side by side demonstration would be very effective.
The purpose would not be to intentionally denigrate the table saw. Many have done and continue to do amazing things with them but their time is passing. Like most antiquated technology, they are bulky, heavy, expensive, and dangerous.
As expected, the future is safer, faster, lighter, and less costly, especially for the small shop, on site contractor, one-man operator, and the DIY'er. And I'm not talking about a CNC! Well, not yet, anyway.
I don't mean any disrespect but I'm not sure how you figure that the TS's time is passing. Sure tracksaws can do some things a TS can do but there are other things a TS does better. If all you're cutting are panels a tracksaw is great. The portability is great. But I can't cut 4" stock with a tracksaw, I can't set a bevel accurately to 1 degree and make the cut faster than I can write this with a tracksaw. In another thread the OP asked about cutting an 8ft 1x4 into 1" strips. With my TS I'd be set up and done faster than I can write this. Sure I could cut that with EZ but it'd be impractical.
i don't foresee tablesaws going anywhere until CNC is portable, easily expandable in capacity, affordable, and mainstream enough to end up in big box stores and hobbyist homes. Even then, the tablesaw will be around for specialty cuts.
it's like having a miter saw for chopping up dimensional lumber or boards. Sure, a tablesaw or tracksaw can do it, but it's so much quicker and easier to just throw it on the miter, line it up, pull the trigger, and cut.
*Disclaimer: I know what i'm talking about 50% of the time, every time...
I'm certainly not "anti table saw". My brother uses one all the time - its his most important woodworking tool, for sure. But my own choice is not to buy a table saw (OK, I have a really old cheap Skil table saw that I've not used for maybe 25 years), and I choose not to use one.
It seems that it would be doable using the EZ Smart guide rail - but may not be as fast - to do the cut from two sides IF you're using one of the larger circular saws. I know my saws' depths of cut will not do that on the rail, but that is the ONLY way I will use them - I will not run circular saws off-rail - other than using the UEG - and even that makes me a bit nervouse
I suspect the 1 degree accuracy is only limited by the accuracy of the circular saw's markings and the ability of the user to set the circular saw's bevel to the desired angle as measured by whatever device (which in itself might be a limitation). Again, I have not yet had to make bevel cuts on my EZ-One.
I have to admit that I watch Youtube videos of people who prefer to do most, if not all, the wood cutting by hand. I'm impressed with what they can do, but I can't see me having those kind of skills.

No offense taken!
I think the TS will always be around but only for commercial, industrial, and specialty applications. They'll be like sawmills and trains.
Even manufacturers know it. Job site saws are the best selling type of TS on the market because most don't need a 500 lb. cabinet saw any more than they need a Ford F-450 as a daily driver. But as long as enough guys are willing to buy one, I'm sure they'll keep making them.
However, as people become more informed about the expenses, dangers, and liabilities associated with the TS, they are turning to newer, simpler, safer approaches, which is why track saws and plunge saws are so wildly popular. It's telling when pros are willing to drop $1000+ on a track saw system like the EZ1 or Festool MFT when they could get a decent job site TS for half the price.
Carpentry and woodworking is my livelihood, face frame cabinetry, decks, furniture, and more. I haven't used a table saw on a paying job since I went with EZ. I've drooled at the Sawstop PCS but there's just no need. I may use the TS to build an entry door for my in-laws... or not.

Well, this is my 4th day here and I feel very comfortable. The environment is much more quiet than what I was used to. During these days I been reading about ISO standards, learning about the organization and working with Entity Framework.
Yesterday while I was working with the Entity Data Model Designer I got an error and my Visual Studio stopped working "forever". As usual I tried reopening it, but no way. Then MatiasW suggested me to open the visual studio command line tool and run "devenv.exe /?" to see if any of the options provides a way to fixed the problem. After two or three shots I got it, "devenv /ResetSkipPkgs" solved my I issue. Now you know: if you have any trouble with Visual Studio, try with devenv options before reinstalling it.
That 's all folks!

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing fine.
I'm a happy camper, since nature has decided to grace us with a bunch of beautifully sunny and crisp fall days. My mood always adjusts to the weather, and a long stretch of dreary greyness leaves me downcast and unhappy, while a few days of sunshine make me want to sing the whole day…
Also improving my mood is the fact that I sent two finished samples and pattern drafts off to the UK this week. Nothing like completing a task to make you feel accomplished and contented. This has the added bonus of leaving me a bit of time for private knitting, which I may actually share pictures and information about. Yay!
I'm making the Flying Dutchman socks – a pattern that's been on my to-do-list for a few months, with a very specific recipient in mind. On monday, while out grocery shopping I came across this yarn in the absolutely perfect colours!
Taking advantage of the wonderful weather, I took myself, my knitting, a glass of fresh apple juice and an audio book out onto the balcony. Flying Dutchman is a well written pattern and easy to follow, which probably wasn't easy to achieve with this in-the-round Jacquard technique. Chapeau to the designer!
I made a few modifications to the original:
- Knit in a slightly larger gauge, since I need the socks to fit my father, not a medium-sized lady (the men in my family are virtual big-foots)
- Knit an afterthought heel instead of a flap-and-gusset heel (purely because I'm lazy)
- Have the motif show on the outer, instead of the inner calf
Can you see the ship appear in the stripes on the leg? It's hard to photograph in full sunlight, but it looks great in reality! My dad, being a passionate yachtsman, will hopefully be as thrilled with this ghostly yacht appearing on his socks as I am…
As always, I'm joining up with the knitting crowd gathered at Tami's Amis for WIP Wednesdays… why not go and pay a visit?
