Lyric Opera of Chicago to Present THE SECOND CITY GUIDE TO THE OPERA, June 2013
Lyric Opera of Chicago and The Second City - hot on the heels of their hugely successful, sold-out January 5 collaboration, The Second City Guide to the Opera - have announced that they will present a June run of shows at the Civic Opera House, with audience members seated onstage.
"In addition to improvisation, the show will include completely new scenes as well as a reprise of some of the best scenes created for the inaugural performance of The Second City Guide to the Opera," said Kelly Leonard, executive vice president of The Second City. "Audiences will be treated to cabaret-style seating on the legendary stage of the Civic Opera House, with libations and table service available throughout the performance."
"We're planning to seat about 300 people onstage per show," said Anthony Freud, general director of Lyric Opera of Chicago. "Ticket-buyers will have a thrilling view while experiencing this unique entertainment on the stage of one of the world's great theaters. As they look into the 3600-seat opera house they'll be doing so from the vantage point of the hundreds and hundreds of great singers who have performed here since 1929."
The June run of The Second City Guide to the Opera will feature two opera singers and ensemble members of The Second City. Casting, dates, and performance times will be announced at a later date.
Web sales open January 23 at www.lyricopera.org. Tickets will be $35 and $45, with a small number of VIP seats at $75. Phone sales will begin in April.
The Second City Guide to the Opera is a project of Lyric Unlimited.

Since Eighteenth-Century Fiction journal covers the long eighteenth century (1660-1820[ish]) and cultural studies, we can talk about pirates once in a while. Although the "Golden Age of Piracy" was definitely over by the mid-eighteenth century, wars still raged around the world and privateering occupied many sailors (claiming prizes in the name of their host-country). This image shows Ann Mills, reputed to be a ruthless fighter and a skilled sailor; despite her prowess, she had to dress like a man to be accepted in the maritime life.

In This Article:
Scientific research makes it abundantly clear that a healthy diet wards off disease and helps maintain a healthy body. What is not so well known is that a diet rich in beneficial foods can help keep our skin younger looking, longer. Combined with a well-formulated skin care routine and being sun-smart, eating a "skin-friendly" diet can be a significant part of achieving and keeping younger, healthier skin as you age!
If you use Paula's Choice products or those we recommend on Beautypedia and diligent daily use of SPF 15+, you're already avoiding sun damage and irritating ingredients that generate inflammation in skin, both of which damage collagen and elastin. In much the same way irritants and sun damage causes inflammation, eating unhealthy, processed foods can cause inflammation in the body—and you'll eventually see this on your skin!
When we say "inflammation" in connection with your diet, we don't mean how upsetting the bill can be after a trip to Whole Foods, we're talking about the type of inflammation that occurs within our bodies. Chronic inflammation whether from your diet or other sources, floods the body with stress hormones, stimulates pain receptors (so you feel worn down), destroys healthy collagen, limits cell renewal, slows your body's ability to heal itself, and may increase acne breakouts.
Many of the foods people eat on a regular basis worsen chronic inflammation, especially when paired with other unhealthy lifestyle choices like unprotected sun exposure and/or smoking. Because of this, it's easy to see why using great skin-care products is only part of the plan to keep your skin smooth, younger-looking, and healthy regardless of your age.
Perhaps the most tempting yet pro-aging and possibly pro-acne food to avoid is sugar. Here's why sugar isn't as sweet as you think!
Sugar in the body creates glycation, and that's not good news. Glycation refers to a chemical reaction that occurs when the sugar you eat interacts with your body's important lipids and proteins. This reaction forms advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which are destructive inflammation producing molecules that contribute to disease, increased free radical damage, wrinkles, sagging, and theoretically acne (after all acne is an inflammatory skin disorder).
When sugary sweets make a regular appearance in your diet, the rate of glycation increases, and that adds to the "AGEing" process.
Eating the right foods and minimizing those that are the worst for triggering inflammation and AGEs is an anti-aging MUST. Not to mention a nutrient-rich diet helps cut your risk of multiple diseases and other health issues. Research has demonstrated the following foods as the worst of inflammation-promoting and AGEing offenders:
Theoretically, an anti-inflammation diet can indeed be a benefit for potentially reducing breakouts, but there isn't definitive research pinpointing that to any specific foods as "acne causing." Here's what we know about the foods most often blamed for breakouts:
While there is no definitive association for any dietary aspect of acne it doesn't mean you shouldn't experiment to see what works for you! For example, fish and dairy may possibly combine with other factors to promote breakouts for some. If you suspect that dairy or other foods triggering acne, try leaving it out of your diet for a few months and see what happens.
These foods are far from flavorless or boring, and they have been shown to reduce inflammation, and reduce the glycation process. The next time you're jotting down your grocery list, be sure to add these anti-inflammatory, appearance-boosting foods (and leave the Cheetos and sugared drinks on the shelf):
Start eating an anti-aging/anti-acne diet now! It's never too late. Consuming an anti-inflammatory diet is one of the more beautiful things you can do for yourself and your skin. Routinely eating the right foods can lead to healthier skin cell production, reduced dry skin, a more radiant complexion, fewer breakouts, less wrinkles, and greater skin resiliency so you look younger, longer. This dietary approach complements using the right skin-care products (from Paula's Choice or those we recommend from Beautypedia,) and of course, daily sun protection is an absolute must!

Modified Xbox Consoles Banned From Xbox Live
Modified Xbox Consoles Banned From Xbox Live
(November 11 & 12, 2009)
In an attempt to combat piracy, Microsoft is permanently banning modified Xbox consoles from accessing Xbox Live. The ban also applies to gamers who have played games downloaded in violation of copyright laws. The ban will affect between 600,000 and one million players.
Users can recover their online profiles if they purchase another console. The plan raises concerns because it is the console rather than the player that is banned, so the people who purchase the devices second hand could find themselves unable to access Xbox live.

|My System Specs
|12 Mar 2010
It's a good move to ban the people due to cheating, pirated games, etc. Having said that, there are perfecty legal uses for a modded console. I know the widespread perception is that "modded console = piracy" but it's very similar to the perception that "Torrents = Piracy." Although a large percentage of people using torrents or modded consoles are, indeed, using pirated software, there is still a large percentage that are not.
I feel the user's xbox live should be banned, not the console itself. In addition, the second hand console issue would be a problem. After all, the person buying it most likely won't even know that it is modded.

by study participants allowed these researchers to examine predictors of needle exchange participation and to estimate HIV seroconversion rates among needle exchange users and nonusers. According to these authors, this information allowed them to "assess whether the San Francisco needle exchanges are reaching their intended clientele and whether the exchanges affect risk reduction and HIV incidence" (p. 3).
This study recruited 1,093 injection drug users from nine methadone maintenance and 21-day detoxification programs from 1989 through 1990, following the November 1988 opening of the Prevention Point needle exchange program in San Francisco. Each participant completed structured interviews (questionnaire) and had an HIV test performed at each repeat visit. Of those recruited, repeated questionnaire data and serostatus test results were available from 412 participants (38 percent). Needle exchange participation was determined by examining participants' questionnaire responses (needle exchange participation items) for their most recent treatment visit (methadone maintenance, 21-day detoxification, or both).
Descriptive analyses based on the entire sample of 1,093 study participants showed that males, frequent injectors, homeless people, residents of hotels and shelters, homosexuals and bisexuals, and participants who were aware of their HIV status were more likely to use the needle exchange. No association was detected between needle exchange use and the education level of study participants, the age of first injection, the number of years injecting, bleach use, or prostitution.
During the 1989 through 1990 study period, nine seroconversions were detected among the 412 repeaters who were initially assessed as HIV negative. The time at risk for study participants who remained HIV negative was years from first interview to last interview, whereas the time at risk measure for those who seroconverted was years from first interview to first HIV-positive interview. This resulted in an estimated overall seroconversion rate of 1.1 per 100 person years (95 percent confidence interval [CI]: 0.5 to 2.0 percent per person years) among the 412 repeaters. The estimated seroconversion rates for those who had never used the needle exchange was 0.33 percent per person years (95 percent CI: 0.05 to 1.02 percent per person years) compared with an estimated rate of 3.49 percent per person years (95 percent CI: 1.49 to 6.75 percent per person years) for those who had ever used needle exchange. More specific estimates of seroconversion rates among needle exchange users were derived for those study participants who had used the needle exchange for fewer than 3 months (6.26 percent per person years) and for those who had used the needle exchange for 3 months or more (2.19 percent per person years).
Results of a proportional hazard model indicated that, among the 412 repeat study participants, the hazards ratio for seroconverting was higher for those who had used the needle exchange (10.60; 95 percent CI: 2.20 to 51.06) compared with those who had not.

October 24, 2014
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - New federal data shows West Virginia's economy ranks as the second smallest in the country.
U-S Bureau of Economic Analysis figures released today show the state's economy generated 24-thousand-748 dollars worth of goods and services per person in 2006. That ranks ahead of only Mississippi, with just over 24-thousand per person.
Delaware was number one, with per capita gross domestic product of more than 59-thousand dollars last year.
Still, West Virginia's economy did grow last year. G-D-P -- which is a measure of the market value of all final goods and services produced in the state -- grew zero-point-six percent in 2006. The economy grew three-point-two percent in 2004 and one-point-seven percent in 2005.
Coal was booming in 2004 and 2005 and last year's slowdown came as production began declining. West Virginia University economist George Hammond says coal remains a key part of the state's economy, even though its contribution often gets glossed over.

As dry as Tuesday morning's usually are – and today is no exception – that's how wet Wednesday's are. So be patient. News always happens on Tuesdays. But to tide you through, we have links. Read on.
• Washington State: As always, we have our first look at Saturday's opponent, in this case the Arizona Wildcats. And that's about it for WSU coverage this morning. … Just wanted to pass on this bit of news, though it's not WSU related – other than I was talking about this man last Friday in the Seattle airport with a fan on the way to the game in San Antonio. O'Dea High longtime basketball coach Phil Lumpkin died sometime over the weekend in Seattle. Lumpkin was one of the better high school hoops coaches I saw in my tenure as a prep writer, gruff but fair in the way he treated his players as far as I could tell. He was 57 years old.
• Around the Pac-10: Buster Sports' Nick Daschel has his Pac-10 rankings. WSU has dropped to 11th. And yes, you'll have to read it to understand why. I'm not telling. … Washington: The Huskies head to Pasadena to play UCLA this week and they may - may – have to do it without Jake Locker. … Oregon State: Looking back at the Beavers' huge upset of Cal in 2007. … Oregon: Talk about contrasting styles in the running games this weekend in the Bay Area. Cal: Nothing, nada. … Stanford: The Cardinal have quite a few shots at getting bowl eligible. Remember, six wins really doesn't make you bowl eligible. That only counts if there are not enough seven-win teams to take the available spots. … USC: Was the Trojans' defensive game plan against Oregon too complicated? Pete Carroll thinks it was. …UCLA: Nelson Rosario is a big guy who makes big catches. … Arizona State: Poor ASU. The Sun Devils get USC after a loss. That's never a good thing. … Arizona: The Wildcats' No. 23 ranking is not the culmination of their goals.
• That's all for this morning. We'll be back after practice with notes and a look around the Pac-10. Until then …

Finally got to go to another Wolf Pack game. This one was against Hawaii and we showed them how we do it up here on the main land. But seriously, once again I had to document my good time at the game.

Season opener at Lawlor. We went down and had a pretty good time so I documented it with this photo. Unfortunately, the team did not have nearly as much fun as the loss was very bad. Only room to improve at this point.

I had to run down to Wal Mart to get some scrapbook paper to finish my book, and I liked the look of the almost full moon above the trees. I find this to be somewhat unweighted because of the lack of ground, but I think it works.

I just can't get away from the trees right now. I really liked the way the geometry of the curb framed the tree just right. This might just start a spark with some kind of project, but who really knows at this point. For now, I just like the image.

All the leaves have fallen off the tree in the front yard, and once again I find myself intrigued with the street lights. This was from the bumper of Max's car, and I thought the bumper in the shot added a little something.

You know somewhere along the way somebody, or some group of people instructed us that it is possible to feel okay all of the time,
that the human body, or the human mind should normally behave appropriately at all times,
and that if there is any part of your day, your week, your month, that falls short of feeling 100% there is something wrong with you.
"Does it burn when you swallow?
You got acid reflux, you can't eat pasta sauce.." bullshit.
(Acid reflux is thought to be a agitating/inhibiting factor in vocal chord granuloma healing process… yes, I think that every time I hear this part of his speech, I can't help it!! … I hope our rockstar cowboy is taking good care of himself!)
Let me tell you what happens to everybody, but they won't talk about it, because they feel like it's only them, but it's everybody.
Everybody freaks out.
I wanna show you something.. that's a Xanax. .5 milligrams.
You want to know why I keep prescribing more, or asking for a prescription, ya wanna know why I keep going to my doctor to ask for for more?
Not because I take them, because I run them through the laundry. These do not go through my blood stream, these go through my plumbing.
But I've got my .5 in my pocket, in case I freak the fuck out in front of all of you, 17,000 of you…
Get a shot of this.
*Stomps on Xanax*
If you want to freak out, freak out.
If you feel like all of a sudden, you feel like you're 6 and you wanna cry, and you don't know why, just go do it.
Let's everybody just accept everyone else is gonna freak out.
Yeah, everyone's gonna freak out. You're not going to be 100% all of the time.
Hey, can somebody get me another Xanax please?
Yes. Let me make it easy for you. You're going to freak out.
You're gonna have at least one moment in a week where you just don't feel right. But maybe it doesn't feel so wrong if you know that it's kind of supposed to happen.
It's the other side of being conscious and loving. There are going to be times when you have to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete, you're gonna have to take a moment.
You might be walking through an airport. You might be having the time of your life, in fact, it's more likely to happen during the time of your life!
You might be walking through an airport, you might be having the time of your life,
In fact, it's more likely to happen during the time of your life.
You might sit down in Cabo, put your feet in the sand, crack open a Corona and goooo ooooooh.
That's you not letting yourself have a good time.
And I guarantee you there is someone out here in the show tonight who's sitting there going like,
"I need to use the bathroom and I wanna go home"
Me, too!
Nobody wants to use the bathroom and go home more than me and I gotta play onstage every night,
so what I'm trying to say to you, oh, Oh!..
is fight on, fight on everyone, so fight on, got no choice, but to fight til it's done………"

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 10/15/14
ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick tweets that the Washington Nationals and Mets former starter Mike Pelfrey might be a good fit. Wow, talk about a weird turn of events. The Nats are in the market for starting pitching since they have let John Lannan and Edwin Jackson both walk. They have been linked to starters Zack Greinke and James Shields over the past week. If Pelfrey landed with the Nats he would likely help fill out the back end of their rotation. I'm happy Pelfrey is no longer taking up a spot in the Mets rotation, but is it any better if he lands in NL East and torments the Mets and their fans all season long? I wish Pelfrey the best, just not if he lands in the NL East.

While riding into downtown, I looked up and saw these three clouds. Just had to stop for a foto-op.
I just liked the lines and the seemingly "dead" branch just waiting for Spring.
I liked all the textures, and the dog, of course.
Can our shadow tell us which way to go?
A New Year is about to open.
Bring your skeletons out of the closet, and paint them!
And I forgot to bring cash. Brilliant.
Christmas waves goodbye and is sent on its way until next year.
The holidays are coming to a close, and the mood was subdued.
Quiet gathering.
The way points up.
Stopped at Downtown Subscription for a ham sandwich. Here's my trusty steed for the day. The Pentax is nicely ensconced in the padded trunk for transit.
Downtown Subscription is a great bike destination in one of the prettiest parts of town.

It's hard to picture an American summer without the movies. Grilled food, beach vacations and films full of choreographed robot hockey: these are our July/August emblems. Binx Bolling in Walker Percy's "The Moviegoer" says, "The fact is I am quite happy in a movie, even a bad movie." On hot sunny days, we're happiest in the air-conditioned dark.
Venice was once a global power hub, bearing influence across the seas, and perhaps the organizers behind this year's 53rd Biennale hope the city can rise again. Doors open on June 7th, and while groupies waterproof their billfolds against the price of water taxis, headline writers are preparing to get cute with "banal." Whether or not the event is breaks any ground for contemporary art, it will garner attention, and the former city state can retain its claim as a nexus between Tintoretto and Tracey Emin.
Looking back on previous years, I would have loved to see Bill Viola's 2007 video installation, "Ocean Without a Shore." Plasma screens were hung above three altars in a church, and each screen showed dead people returning from the afterlife through a shower. As though hotel bathrooms weren't already cramped.
It's difficult to tell from the next video what the point was of this 2008 interactive table, besides looking cool. The artists said, "By placing physical project cards on an interactive surface, the visitors explored an organic network of projects, people and media." I thought, "Finally, a Minority Report application for Facebook."
The French Open puts tennis players in search of their footing. Roland-Garros, the Paris stadium built in 1928, is the apex of the European clay-court season, and the open is the only Grand Slam tournament fought on red clay (or any clay for that matter). Recently it has seemed more like a potter's field for Rafael Nadal's opponents, but then Nadal fell on the weekend to Robin Soderling, the 23rd-seeded Swede who once mocked the king's proclivity for picking his wedgie, and now it's anyone's surface.

Furniture designers, sellers and industry groupies descended on Milan this week. Previews around the Web hyped objects that "blur the distinction between furniture and erotica", a "New Mannerism", "Craft Punk" and a "Break-Out Moment for Biomimicry." Say you want to be a furniture designer and envision the future on casters. Where to start?
Since no one knows the name of today's zeitgeist, it feels right to step back into 1961 with this Playboy profile of midcentury furniture designers. As soon as the second sentence, it declares, "the crusading era of modern is over." Eames, Nelson and Saarinen are celebrated — and a Design Within Reach catalog was somewhere gurgling in a molded-plywood cocoon, waiting to be hatched.
It's a long distance from the drawing board to a finished showroom model. For a pipe to be a pipe, it needs to be rendered off the page. The following video, "Prototyping Processes for Industrial Designers," explains with a certain Bauhaus panache how drawings become objects.
When GQ's Web site hosts a "vote for your favorite working-class beer" contest, you've got to wonder if the fashion elite's recent romance with blue-collar emblems has perhaps jumped the shark.
There was a battle recently within the clubhouse for Americana fans, A Continuous Lean, when a commenter said workwear fans were so many nancies, remarking, "Actually BE a man instead of trying to dress up like one. Learn a real skill. Use your hands." And then the commenter was exposed to be a manly man from Manhattan, an advertising slave, and he wasn't heard from afterward.
No reason, though, to invoke big words like class and gender in what can just be fun-with-aesthetics. This collection of vintage racing decals offers a little motor oil for any aesthete's keyboard-calloused fingers.
And rather than solely fetishizing the ditch diggers, why not their bosses, too? The blogs Ivy Style, Heavy Tweed, and The Trad do a good job of finding the beauty in contemporary and vintage boola-boola style. Another, Archival Clothing, taps into the female population of waxed-cotton wearers, e.g., this post about heritage hunting collections for women.

Jeff Koons put basketballs in a tank, Kehinde Wiley paints some models in jerseys, but otherwise March Madness aesthetics don't get much attention. Too bad. Someone should unleash Douglas Gordon and 20 cameras on a Duke-North Carolina game; he'd get 10 times the footage he obtained from his work on Zinedine Zidane.
Michael Jordan played for North Carolina in college, and his namesake shoes are beloved by sneaker authorities. The Web site Solecollector has compiled a brief history, including a mosaic of Air Jordans that haven't yet received retro treatment. Intended for sneaker obsessives, but fun for anyone with an eye for design.
Anyone familiar with basketball from the '80s may wonder why today's players wear clam-diggers. According to this 2003 interview with Thomas O'Grady, then creative director for NBA Entertainment, Jordan himself caused basketball shorts to lengthen:
During Fashion Week, I want to celebrate the grittiest, hardest-working dudes in fashion: the pit photographers, shooting runways from high fashion's coal mines. Their efforts go nameless and unrecognized; instead of bylines, they get tape lines, showing where to stand (and where not to). Models ignore their screams; editors ignore their eye. It is a pitiable life.
David Law beats the game by recruiting models from outside the tents: for several years, he's shot window mannequins. Funny how the facial expressions don't seem too different from the real deal.
After the show was over, a photographer used to be only as good as what turned up in the darkroom. Nowadays the results will be reviewed more often on laptops, but Richard Nicholson's gorgeous portraits of still-operational professional London darkrooms bring out the mechanical beauty of the craft.
Finding art in a different sort of runway, I love the Portuguese photographer Edgar Martins's landscapes of airport runways in his 2008 book, Topologies. These are lifeless places about to be flooded with lights and action – a bit like the fashion tents, preshow. Perhaps Martins has spent time in the pits?
A new Sherlock Holmes is coming soon, and he looks like a brute. Scheduled for release next fall and featuring Robert Downey Jr. as the great detective, Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes" will possess abs as rigid as his logic. So it's a good time to remember a slightly different style of Holmes, as portrayed by the brilliant Jeremy Brett. In over 40 episodes of the 1980s and '90s Granada Television Sherlock series, Brett's moody characterization was as complex as the master detective himself. For many fans, this one included, Brett became the modern Holmes, and Downey should hope to be half as bewitching, with or without an Inverness cape.
Interestingly, Brett was apparently looked at to play another madcap British icon: James Bond, to follow in the footsteps of Sean Connery.

HomeWord - Dec. 30, 2010
The Shalom of God
This devotional was written by Mike DeVries He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering." —Mark 5:34
Could you even imagine it?
Twelve years.
For twelve years, this woman had been in a constant state of suffering. For twelve years, she had been suffering not only physically from her issue of blood, but also financially and socially. She had spent everything she had in a desperate hope that something, anything, might bring relief to the life she knew. Her relationship with others, even her relationship with God, was defined by her physical ailment. Alone. Afraid. Broken.
Twelve years.
Then one day she hears about Jesus. "Could he be the one? Could he really be who people whisper him to be? If only I could get close enough to touch the fringe of his garment and I'll be healed."
Pushing her way through the crowd, she saw Him. As she drew near to the man she had heard people speak of, she saw the fringe of his robe. Reaching out, fear mixed with faith, she felt the knots of his fringe between her fingers. "God, you've been faithful. I need you now."
Immediately... she was healed. Physically, healed. Emotionally, healed. Socially, healed. Everything made new again through the touch.
Now it's fascinating to note Jesus' response. Apparently, Jesus was not intentionally involved in this miraculous scene, as He was as unaware of the event as those around him. "Who touched my clothes?" Knowing that something extraordinary occurred, He questions to find the person who initiated the event. "Someone here has faith. Someone here believes who I am."
The woman, realizing what had happened and that Jesus was looking for her, comes and falls at His feet in fear. Trembling, she pours out the tragic story of her past twelve years.
"Go in peace. You are free."
Now often when we think about peace, we think about a lack of conflict. But when Jesus is talking about "peace" He is talking about something much larger.
The peace, or the shalom, of God is so much larger than merely a lack of conflict. Shalom is about wholeness. Shalom is about freedom. Shalom is living in holistic restoration, every part of you made whole and new again in God. To have the shalom of God rest on you was to experience the life God intended all humanity to live in - one that was whole, and free, redeemed and restored.
So this woman walked away from Jesus with much more than just her bleeding cured. She walked away with her entire life given back to her, every aspect made whole and free, just as it should be.
Where do you need the shalom of God to invade your life? Where do you need your life restored to you? What broken places do you need made whole again?
Take a few minutes to reach out to God. "God, you've been faithful. I need you now."
Mark 5:24-34

A pack of 3 blues harps specially made for 2nd-position note bending that give the blues its signature sound.
The Hohner 532 Blues Harp Pro Harmonica Pack contains 3 of Hohner's professional-level MS Blues Harps in a package that saves you some cash while offering you harmonicas in the popular keys of G, A, and C.
Dig in deep and experience the raw power and grit of the blues. The Blues Harp is engineered for consistent volume and tone that's ideal for intense blues playing. This harp can hang with the toughest players on their most serious gigs. It's highly bendable and has a dirty, dark, hard rockin' sound. One of Hohner's classic models, this blues harmonica is designed to emphasize the best qualities of blues harmonica playing. The Blues Harp features a wood comb and thinner reeds, allowing for easier note bending. It's favored by musicians like Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and Lil' Ronnie Owens of the Grand Dukes and is known for its power and tone.
These Blues Harps come in sealed "blister packaging" that has several advantages. As the harmonicas are sealed, they are guaranteed to have never been played or tampered with. Additionally, there is useful product information on the package card, for example, a key chart telling players which key of harmonica to use for certain songs if they wish to play in crossharp or 2nd position, which is the default position for blues and rock 'n' roll. Lastly, blister packaging can include added items, such as small booklets on the history of the harmonica, or a mini catalog showing other Hohner harmonicas, accessories, and merchandise.
About MS-Series Hohner harmonicas:
The acronym 'MS' stands for Modular System, an integrated concept of Hohner's harmonica designs. MS-series harmonicas benefit from innovations that improve their playing characteristics and also significantly facilitate maintenance and handling. All MS-series parts (combs, reed plates, and covers) can be combined individually. Simple screw connections allow for easy assembly. This benefit offers players the possibility to adjust the instruments to their individual requirements. For example, some players prefer the body of one harmonica and the cover plates of another, and so a "custom hybrid" is possible for the discerning player. Replacement reeds are available (see item: RP565 MS Replacement Reed Plates).
About Hohner:
Hohner is a family company founded in 1857 in Trossingen, Germany, by Matthias Hohner. Handmade quality and close attention to detail have set Hohner apart from the beginning. A top leading brand in harmonicas, Hohner harps are distributed worldwide. Hohner harmonicas are played on the street by buskers, in intimate nightclubs, on festival stages, and even in Carnegie Hall. Despite a diverse harmonica line used in music from country to classical genres, the most famous Hohner harmonicas are simple, 10-hole diatonics used frequently by blues, rock, country, and folk musicians.
Achieve the thrills and bends of the blues on the proper harmonicas when you order today.

I'm not an experienced player, but my son and I both like playing around with these. After trying one of those cheaper plasticky ones, I picked up this pack.

Comments about Hohner 532 Blues Harp Pro Pack - MS-Series Harmonicas:
I've been a customer of Musicians Friend for a good while, and I am pleased to see promotions on the Honher harps, I do question why, on the MS harps, that have replaceable reeds, why the reeds cost more than a new harmonica? Something wrong here! There are no good deals on Lee Oskar or Suzuki,so once again, I've turned back to the leader, Hohner.
Comments about Hohner 532 Blues Harp Pro Pack - MS-Series Harmonicas:
I've been playing harp for over 30 years,& have watched as the price of your average Hohner diatonic has gone from $3 to over $30. Talk about inflation! I'm not a fan of plastic combs,I played Marine Bands for many years but switched to the Blues Harps some time ago.As MS series harps,they have replaceable reed plates while standard Marine Band's don't. With harp prices these days ,I'm looking to save a buck anyway I can! I originally went online to buy new C & A Blues Harps,they go for $39 a piece,so with this 3 pack you get 3 for less than the price of 2.I'd say that passes as a steal these days!! Now I also have a new G harp,which saves me the trouble of buying & replacing reed plates when my old G harp wears out. Thank you MF!
Comments about Hohner 532 Blues Harp Pro Pack - MS-Series Harmonicas:
I may have given this product a 10/10 but do not take my review too heavily. I am by no means even a novince harmonica player. I am actually a guitar player who bought these harmonicas on a stupid deal of the day deal. I happen to think these are very fun to play around with and great to bring around with you. I'm a College kid so whenever studying is becoming too much I go outside sit around and play with the harmonicas! Its great that it comes with 3 keys so I can jam with my friends!
Comments about Hohner 532 Blues Harp Pro Pack - MS-Series Harmonicas:
Love the sound, just wished it had other selections besides G and C. A sound great, too, but have not found a recorded song to really use it along with yet. Guess I could capo one on guitar, record it MP-3, and then play along with it and do fine, therefore making it all my production. I was surprised at the wood instead of plastic, but the wood is coated and protected, so it is less likely to pick up mouth flavor. C and G do give me additonal harmonicas so my son can do a duet with me, and the G has a much better range than the other G my son played and disliked.

Corporate optimism datapoint of the day
Randall Forsyth reports on the magical math of corporate defined-benefit pension plans:
Fitch's analysts find the mean assumed return for corporate pension plans in 2008 and 2009 was 8%. That's with an allocation to fixed-income assets of 34% of the total.
Obviously, there's no way that fixed-income assets can return 8% going forwards from here. There's also little sign that pension plans are reducing their fixed-income exposure. And I can't imagine that fund managers genuinely believe that long-term stock returns are going to be somewhere in the teens.
As a result, any intellectually honest plan is going to have to start cutting the interest rate it's using to calculate the net present value of its future defined liabilities. And every percentage point by which they cut that discount rate means that the present value of their liabilities soars by between 10% and 20%. Cut by two or three percentage points, and suddenly all those cash-heavy corporate balance sheets start looking a lot lighter:
That's the thing about deflation; it's like a neutron bomb for corporate, public-sector and consumer balance sheets. Asset values and returns get decimated while liabilities remain standing.
There's no news here, of course. Inflation is painful for the poor, but much easier for the rich, whose wealth is tied up in things like stocks and houses which tend to retain their real value. Deflation makes goods more affordable for the poor, but is horrible for anybody counting the days until their future liabilities come due.
Still, for the time being, I'm going to place my faith in the continued ability of corporations and pension-plan trustees to delude themselves about future returns and prudent current discount rates. The 8% return assumption didn't make much sense in 2008 or 2009 either, and so the fact that it makes even less sense in 2010 is hardly a reason to think it'll be reduced. It's much easier for the current tranche of executives to leave this problem to their hapless successors.

Can't activist stockholders force honesty on the company? It may hurt the stock price now, but the future is bleak if nothing is done.
I think you and Randall are confusing two things in the pension calculation:
1. The assumed return on plan assets, which influences the periodic pension expense recorded on the firm's Income Statement. This would be influenced by the composition of the firm's pension portfolio and the expected returns on those assets. The assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets doesn't affect the firm's funded status because the assets are already at present value.
2. The discount rate used to convert expected future liabilities into present value dollars. This shouldn't have anything to do with how the firm's pension portfolio is allocated (except to the extent that they might try to match the duration of the assets with the expected duration of the liabilities) or the expected return on assets.
The rate used for assets will be different (and higher, I would expect) than the right used for PVing liabilities. As an example, in its most recent annual filing (12/31/2009), Kodak estimates an 8.49% long-run rate of return on U.S. pension assets and uses a 5.75% discount rate to PV its liabilities. That 5.75% at 12/31/2009 compares to a 7.0% discount rate at 12/31/2008, so they've taken quite a hit on their funded status.
A decrease in the discount rate used to PV liabilities will make their funded status look worse (because the PV of future obligations is higher), but will make their future expenses lower as that discount rate accretes into earnings.
Corporate Pensions were doomed to failure when companies were allowed to assume that plan assets would grow at a faster rate than future liabilities were discounted.
That mathmatical mismatch assures that all plans will be underfunded almost all the time. It also means that companies get hit when they are down… IE oh the stock market is down 20% due to recession… your pension plan is now underfunded and you need to do something about that when capital is scarce and expensive.
No wonder companies hate DB plans with a passion. Corporate DB plans are already 75% dead from where they were 20 years ago and 20 years from now they will be 99.5% dead. The problem is no one told the stupid workers (by which I mean the 65% of people who belive their company will pay them income in reirement when no such plan is offered.)
This is why even in a "free country" it should be mandatory to contribute 10% of your wages to a privately managed 401k plan. Because with private DB plans vanashing there will be an even greater retirement crisis in this country in 25 years than exists today.
And make no mistake today is already a crisis… the median income of Americans over 65 is $18,000. Even if your house is paid off and you're in good health that's not an lifestyle I'd aspire too.
I don't understand your first comment. The mathematical "mismatch" doesn't have anything to do with the funded status of a pension. The funded status is based on the plan assets (at fair values) relative to the firm's benefit obligation. There's no mechanism that virtually guarantees pension plans will be underfunded all the time.
While the benefit obligation is based on an estimated discount rate, the plan assets are not – they're just the current market value of the firm's pension fund. If the firm estimates a discount rate of 5% for liabilities, it doesn't matter whether they estimate return on plan assets as 3%, 5%, or 7%. The estimated return on plan assets does not affect the the asset value, nor does it affect the plan's funded status.
Corporations hate DB plans because they bear the financial market risk on the funding side as well as the actuarial risk on the payout side. Individuals hate DC plans because those risks are transferred from the employer to the employee. Someone has to bear the risk, though.
