- Reviews
Guide Gear 1977 Flannel-lined Carpenter Jeans, Stonewash is rated out of 5 by 37.Rated 5 out of 5 by Giest from Very Comfortable Very soft and warm for the cold mornings, but not heavy at all during the afternoon when it warms up. The pockets are placed well and are easy to use, I've had some other carpenter pants that the front pockets were nearly impossible to use with one hand. I'll buy them again if they are still available when the time comes.Date published: 2014-11-18Rated 2 out of 5 by Keith from Not what they used to be! The flannel lined jeans (Guide Gear) I just received last week are a far cry from what they were a few years ago. Both the denim (if you can really call it that) and the lining are a much lighter material than what they used to be.Date published: 2014-11-17Rated 3 out of 5 by jerrysr1 from Not what I had hoped for. These are not flannel lined, more like a nylon, but seem to break the wind at the very least. Caution; these pants may be undersized! I wear the same size waist in many different brands that I have been trying out the past 1-2 years. These pants were tight right out of the package, after washing before I wore them, they are even more so! Pockets material appear to be very thin also.Date published: 2014-11-17Rated 3 out of 5 by Keith from Price was right. They must run smaller than regular jeans. Other than that I lick them.Date published: 2014-11-11Rated 5 out of 5 by Chas from Flannel lined jeans I am going to order another pair or two. These are really comfortable. They have become my favorite pair of pants.Date published: 2014-11-07Rated 1 out of 5 by ALVIN R from You ship it and i'll comment on it! This product will not ship until July, I probably won't really need them in July.Date published: 2014-01-22Rated 5 out of 5 by JEWEL from Nice and warm high quality pants. Great for winter.Date published: 2013-12-27Rated 5 out of 5 by ED from Great PantsDate published: 2013-12-23

Hugh MacLeod's "Gaping Void" Blog
In the last couple of months I've been getting increasingly aware of "Cloud Thinking." It's seriously interesting to me. As far as I can tell, all three of the big tech companies I know best, Microsoft, Sun and Dell, seem to be betting a lot of their future on The Cloud. It was even just announced recently that Dell was applying to trademark the term, "Cloud Computing". Microsoft is now seriously planning for the post-Windows era, and you guessed it, The Cloud features heavily.
About a year ago, I was at a geek breakfast in London with Steve Clayton and some other folk, including a few people from Microsoft.
Steve and some other geeks were talking about "The Cloud". At the time Steve was making the transition from working in the UK Partner Division, to working in the "Software & Services" division of Microsoft, which is how the conversation came up.
Right then and there I drew the cartoon above. Steve saw it, and right away asked me if he could use the picture for his business card, which he now does.
That was the first time I really started paying attention to the term, "The Cloud".
I would by no means call myself an expert or an authority on the subject, but in the last couple of months I've been getting increasingly aware of "Cloud Thinking". It's seriously interesting to me.
As far as I can tell, all three of the big tech companies I know best, Microsoft, Sun and Dell, seem to be betting a lot of their future on The Cloud. It was even just announced recently that Dell was applying to trademark the term, "Cloud Computing". Heck, even my friends over at Techcrunch are looking to get a piece of the action.
Even today, I learned that Microsoft is now seriously planning for the post-Windows era, and you guessed it, The Cloud features heavily. And Businessweek just ran a big article on it:
A Sea Change in Computing
Some analysts say cloud computing represents a sea change in the way computing is done in corporations. Merrill Lynch (MER) estimates that within the next five years, the annual global market for cloud computing will surge to $95 billion. In a May 2008 report, Merrill Lynch estimated that 12% of the worldwide software market would go to the cloud in that period.
Those vendors that can adjust their product lines to meet the needs of large cloud computing providers stand to profit. Companies like IBM, Dell (DELL), and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), for instance, are moving aggressively in this direction. On Aug. 1, IBM said it would spend $360 million to build a cloud computing data center in Research Triangle Park, N.C., bringing to nine its total of cloud computing centers worldwide. Dell is also targeting this market. The computer marker supplies products to some of the largest cloud computing providers and Web 2.0 companies, including Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, and Yahoo (YHOO). "We created a whole new business just to build custom products for those customers," Dell CEO Michael Dell says.
I was also recently really surprised and delighted about all the discussion my last post, "The Cloud's Best-Kept Secret", seemed to generate. Not just the amount of discussion, but the quality of it, from some of the smartest people I know on the planet. People like Tim O'Reilly, JP Rangaswami, Dennis Howlett, James Governor, all piping in. Rock on.
And of course, there's the "Cloud Portraits" I've been drawing recently. Clouds, clouds, clouds... Clouds everywhere. Like West Texas in the rainy season etc.
What does this all mean? Frankly, I have no idea. I have no intention of becoming a "Cloud Blogger" or whatever, I'm just start to feel a connection here. Connections are my lifeblood. One of my favorite cartoons ever exists simply because I saw a connection between ego, emotion and typography. In 2005 I was the first person to see a connection between $5K English suits and the blogosphere [which back then, I can tell you, A LOT of people thought that was a bit of a stretch]. In 2006 I saw a similar connection between a small South African wine brand and the geek community of Silicon Valley.
This year I'm feeling the same sort of connection between all of the work I've been doing in the last year. It's hard to explain- it's visceral; it's like you can just smell it, even if it remains so far invisible. It's just there. A feeling, not quite yet a fact. And a wee voice keeps telling me that The Cloud is at the center of it somehow. Wait and see.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

I like Cooper (but I'm biased as I have a Cooper).
But love all of them on your list except Jordan (which I like, I just don't love).
In order I'd go:
Edited by Sunnycat, 06 December 2012 - 02:58 PM.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 02:53 PM
I like all of them. My eldest son is Jordan, he;s 28 and it was pretty unusual when he was born but quite popular now.
I really love Flynn and Harrison too. I think I'd go Flynn first, then Jordan, then Harrison.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 02:55 PM
Harrison - no 4
Dylan - no 3
Flynn ok, last choice
Cooper - no 5
Jacob - love it, no 1
Jordan - nice, no 2
all great names though
Posted 06 December 2012 - 02:59 PM
They're all nice! Flynn is my favourite.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 03:19 PM
Harrison - Dislike, prefer Henry.
Dylan - Like. Also like Declan and Damon.
Flynn - Dislike, makes me think of Errol. Prefer Finn.
Cooper - Pleasant. I like a lot of C names for boys.
Jacob - I like it. Feels extremely timeless to me. I tend to like J's though. Only negative is popularity.
Jordan - Really awesome, insightful, amazing people are named variations of this name. Tru fax.
I think Jacob is more timeless than Jordan, admittedly.
Despite its current eye-popping position on the charts, Jacob feels the least confined-to-the-era of all of them for me, probably because I happen to know Jacobs of every age from 0 to 95.
The others feel more current/modern to me, which is good or bad depending on where you're sitting.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 03:36 PM
I like:
Flynn - like Finn better
the others are nms
Posted 06 December 2012 - 05:59 PM
Flynn is my favourite of your list, second is Jacob.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 06:07 PM
Flynn and Jacob are my picks.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 06:14 PM
Dylan is my favourite for obvious reasons. I like Jacob but hate nickname Jake.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 09:15 PM
I really love Flynn from your list.

Article: Performance Enhancement of a Graphene-Zinc Phosphide Solar Cell using the Electric Field-Effect.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The optical transparency and high electron mobility of graphene make it an attractive material for photovoltaics. We present a field-effect solar cell using graphene to form a tunable junction barrier with an Earth-abundant and low cost zinc phosphide (Zn3P2) thin-film light absorber. Adding a semi-transparent top electrostatic gate allows for tuning of the graphene Fermi level, and hence the energy barrier at the graphene-Zn3P2 junction, going from an ohmic contact at negative gate voltages to a rectifying barrier at positive gate voltages. We perform current and capacitance measurements at different gate voltages in order to demonstrate the control of the energy barrier and depletion width in the zinc phosphide. Our photovoltaic measurements show that the efficiency conversion is increased two-fold when we increase the gate voltage and the junction barrier to maximize the photovoltaic response. At an optimal gate voltage of +2 V, we obtain an open-circuit voltage of Voc=0.53 V and an efficiency of 1.9% under AM 1.5 1-sun solar illumination. This work demonstrates that the field effect can be used to modulate and optimize the response of photovoltaic devices incorporating graphene.Nano letters. 07/2014;

ABSTRACT: Gate-controlled tuning of the charge carrier density in graphene devices provides new opportunities to control the behavior of molecular adsorbates. We have used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) to show how the vibronic electronic levels of 1,3,5-tris(2,2-dicyanovinyl)benzene molecules adsorbed onto a graphene/BN/SiO2 device can be tuned via application of a backgate voltage. The molecules are observed to electronically decouple from the graphene layer, giving rise to well-resolved vibronic states in dI/dV spectroscopy at the single-molecule level. Density functional theory (DFT) and many-body spectral function calculations show that these states arise from molecular orbitals coupled strongly to carbon-hydrogen rocking modes. Application of a back-gate voltage allows switching between different electronic states of the molecules for fixed sample bias.ACS Nano 04/2014; · 12.03 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The design of stacks of layered materials in which adjacent layers interact by van der Waals forces has enabled the combination of various two-dimensional crystals with different electrical, optical and mechanical properties as well as the emergence of novel physical phenomena and device functionality. Here, we report photoinduced doping in van der Waals heterostructures consisting of graphene and boron nitride layers. It enables flexible and repeatable writing and erasing of charge doping in graphene with visible light. We demonstrate that this photoinduced doping maintains the high carrier mobility of the graphene/boron nitride heterostructure, thus resembling the modulation doping technique used in semiconductor heterojunctions, and can be used to generate spatially varying doping profiles such as p-n junctions. We show that this photoinduced doping arises from microscopically coupled optical and electrical responses of graphene/boron nitride heterostructures, including optical excitation of defect transitions in boron nitride, electrical transport in graphene, and charge transfer between boron nitride and graphene.Nature Nanotechnology 04/2014; · 31.17 Impact Factor
Article: Observation of giant bandgap renormalization and excitonic effects in a monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductor[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit novel electrical and optical properties and are emerging as a new platform for exploring 2D semiconductor physics. Reduced screening in 2D results in dramatically enhanced electron-electron interactions, which have been predicted to generate giant bandgap renormalization and excitonic effects. Currently, however, there is little direct experimental confirmation of such many-body effects in these materials. Here we present an experimental observation of extraordinarily large exciton binding energy in a 2D semiconducting TMD. We accomplished this by determining the single-particle electronic bandgap of single-layer MoSe2 via scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), as well as the two-particle exciton transition energy via photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). These quantities yield an exciton binding energy of 0.55 eV for monolayer MoSe2, a value that is orders of magnitude larger than what is seen in conventional 3D semiconductors. This finding is corroborated by our ab initio GW and Bethe Salpeter equation calculations, which include electron correlation effects. The renormalized bandgap and large exciton binding observed here will have a profound impact on electronic and optoelectronic device technologies based on single-layer semiconducting TMDs.Nature materials. 04/2014;

Article: Local Electronic and Chemical Structure of Oligo-Acetylene Derivatives Formed Through Radical Cyclizations at a Surface.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Semiconducting π-conjugated polymers have attracted significant interest for applications in light-emitting diodes, field-effect transistors, photovoltaics, and nonlinear optoelectronic devices. Central to the success of these functional organic materials is the facile tunability of their electrical, optical, and magnetic properties along with easy processability and the outstanding mechanical properties associated with polymeric structures. In this work we characterize the chemical and electronic structure of individual chains of oligo-(E)-1,1'-bi(indenylidene), a poly-acetylene derivative that we have obtained through cooperative C1-C5 thermal enediyne cyclizations on Au(111) surfaces followed by a step-growth polymerization of the (E)-1,1'-bi(indenylidene) diradical intermediates. We have determined the combined structural and electronic properties of this class of oligomers by characterizing the atomically precise chemical structure of individual monomer building blocks and oligomer chains (via non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM)), as well as by imaging their localized and extended molecular orbitals (via scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS)). Our combined structural and electronic measurements reveal that the energy associated with extended π-conjugated states in these oligomers is significantly lower than the energy of the corresponding localized monomer orbitals, consistent with theoretical predictions.Nano Letters 01/2014; · 13.03 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Recently developed processes have enabled bottom-up chemical synthesis of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with precise atomic structure. These GNRs are ideal candidates for electronic devices because of their uniformity, extremely narrow width below 1 nm, atomically perfect edge structure, and desirable electronic properties. Here, we demonstrate nano-scale chemically synthesized GNR field-effect transistors, made possible by development of a reliable layer transfer process. We observe strong environmental sensitivity and unique transport behavior characteristic of sub-1 nm width GNRs.Applied Physics Letters 12/2013; 103:253114. · 3.52 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Graphene resonators are fabricated using a polymer-free, direct transfer method onto metal reinforced holey carbon grids. The resonators are distinguished by the absence of organic residues and excellent crystallinity. The normal mode frequencies are measured using a Fabry–Perot technique; resonance curves indicate highly linear behaviour but very little built-in strain, which is consistent with device geometry examined by atomic force microscopy. We conclude that the oscillators' restoring force is due instead to graphene's intrinsic bending rigidity; our measurements indicate a value of approximately 1.0 eV, consistent with previous theoretical and experimental work.

ABSTRACT: The atomic structure of graphene edges is critical in determining the electrical, magnetic and chemical properties of truncated graphene structures, notably nanoribbons. Unfortunately, graphene edges are typically far from ideal and suffer from atomic-scale defects, structural distortion and unintended chemical functionalization, leading to unpredictable properties. Here we report that graphene edges fabricated by electron beam-initiated mechanical rupture or tearing in high vacuum are clean and largely atomically perfect, oriented in either the armchair or zigzag direction. We demonstrate, via aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy, reversible and extended pentagon-heptagon (5-7) reconstruction at zigzag edges, and explore experimentally and theoretically the dynamics of the transitions between configuration states. Good theoretical-experimental agreement is found for the flipping rates between 5-7 and 6-6 zigzag edge states. Our study demonstrates that simple ripping is remarkably effective in producing atomically clean, ideal terminations, thus providing a valuable tool for realizing atomically tailored graphene and facilitating meaningful experimental study.Nature Communications 11/2013; 4:2723. · 10.74 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We have investigated the structural and electronic properties of individual ethylene molecules on the GaP(110) surface by combining low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (LT-STM/STS) with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Isolated molecules were adsorbed on in-situ cleaved GaP(110) surfaces through ethylene exposures at 300K and 15 K. DFT calculations suggest two possible stable adsorption geometries for a single ethylene molecule on GaP(110) at low tem- perature. High-resolution STM images, however, reveal only one adsorption geometry for this system, consistent with the site having the largest computed binding energy. Unlike adsorption of ethylene on other metallic and semiconducting surfaces, ethylene physisorbs to GaP(110) through a weak hybridization of molecular π-states with Differential conductivity spectra acquired on single molecules are consistent with self energy corrected DFT calculations.The Journal of Physical Chemistry C 10/2013; · 4.84 Impact Factor

Article: Infrared Spectroscopy of Molecular Submonolayers on Surfaces by Infrared Scanning Tunneling Microscopy: Tetramantane on Au(111).[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have developed a new scanning-tunneling-microscopy-based spectroscopy technique to characterize infrared (IR) absorption of submonolayers of molecules on conducting crystals. The technique employs a scanning tunneling microscope as a precise detector to measure the expansion of a molecule-decorated crystal that is irradiated by IR light from a tunable laser source. Using this technique, we obtain the IR absorption spectra of [121]tetramantane and [123]tetramantane on Au(111). Significant differences between the IR spectra for these two isomers show the power of this new technique to differentiate chemical structures even when single-molecule-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images look quite similar. Furthermore, the new technique was found to yield significantly better spectral resolution than STM-based inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy, and to allow determination of optical absorption cross sections. Compared to IR spectroscopy of bulk tetramantane powders, infrared scanning tunneling microscopy (IRSTM) spectra reveal narrower and blueshifted vibrational peaks for an ordered tetramantane adlayer. Differences between bulk and surface tetramantane vibrational spectra are explained via molecule-molecule interactions.Physical Review Letters 09/2013; 111(12):126101. · 7.73 Impact Factor
Article: Intermolecular interactions and substrate effects for an adamantane monolayer on the Au(111) surface[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We study theoretically and experimentally the infrared (IR) spectrum of an adamantane monolayer on a Au(111) surface. Using a new STM-based IR spectroscopy technique (IRSTM) we are able to measure both the nanoscale structure of an adamantane monolayer on Au(111) as well as its infrared spectrum, while DFT-based ab initio calculations allow us to interpret the microscopic vibrational dynamics revealed by our measurements. We find that the IR spectrum of an adamantane monolayer on Au(111) is substantially modified with respect to the gas-phase IR spectrum. The first modification is caused by the adamantane--adamantane interaction due to monolayer packing and it reduces the IR intensity of the 2912 cm$^{-1}$ peak (gas phase) by a factor of 3.5. The second modification originates from the adamantane--gold interaction and it increases the IR intensity of the 2938 cm$^{-1}$ peak (gas phase) by a factor of 2.6, and reduces its frequency by 276 cm$^{-1}$. We expect that the techniques described here can be used for an independent estimate of substrate effects and intermolecular interactions in other diamondoid molecules, and for other metallic substrates.Physical Review B 09/2013; · 3.66 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Anticorrosion and antioxidation surface treatments such as paint or anodization are a foundational component in nearly all industries. Graphene, a single-atom-thick sheet of carbon with impressive impermeability to gases, seems to hold promise as an effective anticorrosion barrier, and recent work supports this hope. We perform a complete study of the short- and long-term performance of graphene coatings for Cu and Si substrates. Our work reveals that although graphene indeed offers effective short-term oxidation protection, over long time scales it promotes more extensive wet corrosion than that seen for an initially bare, unprotected Cu surface. This surprising result has important implications for future scientific studies and industrial applications. In addition to informing any future work on graphene as a protective coating, the results presented here have implications for graphene's performance in a wide range of applications.ACS Nano 06/2013; · 12.03 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A prerequisite for future graphene nanoribbon (GNR) applications is the ability to fine-tune the electronic bandgap of GNRs. Such control requires the development of fabrication tools capable of precisely controlling width and edge geometry of GNRs at the atomic scale. Here we report a technique for modifying GNR bandgaps via covalent self-assembly of a new species of molecular precursors that yields n = 13 armchair GNRs, a wider GNR than those previously synthesized using bottom-up molecular techniques. Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy reveal that these n = 13 armchair GNRs have a bandgap of 1.4 eV, 1.2 eV smaller than the gap determined previously for n = 7 armchair GNRs. Furthermore, we observe a localized electronic state near the end of n = 13 armchair GNRs that is associated with hydrogen terminated sp2-hybridized carbon atoms at the zigzag termini.ACS Nano 06/2013; · 12.03 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Observing the intricate chemical transformation of an individual molecule as it undergoes a complex reaction is a longstanding challenge in molecular imaging. Advances in scanning probe microscopy now provide the tools to visualize not only the frontier orbitals of chemical reaction partners and products, but their internal covalent bond configurations as well. Here, we demonstrate the use of noncontact atomic force microscopy to investigate reaction-induced changes in the detailed internal bond structure of individual oligo-(phenylene-1,2-ethynylenes) on Ag(100) as they undergo a series of cyclization processes. Our images reveal the complex surface reaction mechanisms underlying thermally induced cyclization cascades of enediynes. Additional evidence for the proposed reaction pathways is obtained using ab initio density functional theory.Science 05/2013; · 31.20 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We have combined scanning tunneling microscopy with inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) and density functional theory (DFT) to study a tetracyanoethylene monolayer on Ag(100). Images show that the molecules arrange in locally ordered patterns with three non-equivalent, but undeterminable, adsorption sites. While scanning tunneling spectroscopy only shows subtle variations of the local electronic structure at the three different positions, we find that vibrational modes are very sensitive to the local atomic environment. IETS detects sizeable mode frequency shifts of the molecules located at the three topographically detected sites, which permits us to determine the molecular adsorption sites through identification with DFT calculations.Nano Letters 05/2013; · 13.03 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Relativistic quantum mechanics predicts that when the charge of a super-heavy atomic nucleus surpasses a certain threshold, the resulting strong Coulomb field causes an unusual "atomic collapse" state which exhibits an electron wave function component that falls toward the nucleus as well as a positron component that escapes to infinity. In graphene, where charge carriers behave as massless relativistic particles, it has been predicted that highly charged impurities should exhibit resonances corresponding to these atomic collapse states. We have observed the formation of such resonances around artificial nuclei (clusters of charged calcium dimers) fabricated on gated graphene devices via atomic manipulation with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The energy and spatial dependence of the atomic collapse state measured using STM revealed unexpected behavior when it is occupied by electrons.Science 03/2013; · 31.20 Impact Factor

A fabulously entertaining evening where you can forget your cares and woes and just clap along with excellent music.
Showstoppers is a wonderful idea, get together some of the country's leading musical theatre performers, put them in front of a huge orchestra and have them sing some well known show tunes. Pretty simple stuff. The end result is a fabulously entertaining evening where you can forget your cares and woes and just clap along with the excellent music.
Aside from the fabulous Sydney Symphony under the direction of Guy Noble the stars of this show are five very talented (and experienced) performers who keep on singing and dancing for more than two hours. Todd McKenney, Judi Connelli, Chloe Dallimore, Michael Falzon and Trisha Crowe each get their chance to show off the skills that got them to where they are and the appreciative opening night audience lapped it up.
Some highlights include Todd McKenney's heartfelt rendition of Peter Allen's Honestly and Don't Cry Out Loud. McKenney sang and signed the song alongside Australian Theatre for the Deaf director Caroline Conlon, it was truly touching and easily one of the stand out moments of the night. Michael Falzon's version of Who Wants to Live Forever was breathtaking and elicited more than a few gasps from the crowd as his outstanding voice just kept on going up! Falzon is a revelation in this show and had the audience in the palm of his hand with some stellar songs.
Trisha Crowe and Judi Connelli did an excellent selection of songs from The Sound of Music, hitting Climb Every Mountain out of the park. While Chloe Dallimore reprised her role from the Producers before going on to deliver an outstanding rendition of All That Jazz.
If I had one criticism it would be song choice. While all of the songs presented are showstoppers, some of them are only that within the context of their show and hence do not work so well when taken out. Although they were all excellently performed I would have liked to have seen some more true show stopping numbers. Also, the video projection left a bit to be desired and didn't add anything to the production, thank goodness that what was going on onstage was so captivating, I don't think anyone noticed.
This is a fabulous night out with some premiere talent. If you're free over the next few nights do yourself a favour and get along, you won't be sorry.

It sounds right but we have nothing to show for it in reality. You can polish turd only so much I guess.
Our national team (along with Belarussians) almost got relegated from WC last year. Not to mentioning Kazakhstan actually getting relegated.

What extra money is being poured in our junior hockey? Where do you even get these ideas? You act like those 25 players would of been playing in some back yard in Latvia before they were assembled to play MHL
They'd be playing abroad in any case.
And all this competative environment has clearly elevated our players to a new level, we are racking up medals in WC's left and right.
This year we lost to Norway only by two goals, that bunch of hopeless SEL players never knew what hit them.
Having a huge stadium (which was there since 2006 just to be clear) being
every games makes a great difference too and we are reaping unknown benefits all the time. Lets not forget to mention that Dinamo Riga and no other club in the galaxy is the one which is loosing the least amount of money in whole KHL.
You can laugh at my points, but you haven't provided a single evidence to back up your statements about KHL helping (let alone saving
) our hockey.

At-large seat one on the Germantown School Board will be available in April, and member Tom Bowe has decided to run for re-election to at-large seat seven.
Seat one incumbent Dave Magill has decided not to run for a third term, but Bowe said last week that he intends to run for his second term.
"I think we've done a lot of good things in the last couple of years," Bowe said. "One thing I think I'm pretty good at is cost-cutting, and I think we have to do a lot of that and figure out a way to do everything we want to do for education and also control costs in a down economy."
School board members are elected to three-year terms and are paid $3,500 annually.
Candidacy papers must be filed by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 6.
A primary election, if necessary, would be held Tuesday, Feb. 17. The spring election is Tuesday, April 7.

Therapy dogs may carry germs
Therapy dogs spread cheer and goodwill to hospital patients. But a new study shows they may also spread germs. Researchers from the University of Guelph's veterinary school in Ontario, Canada, found that viruses like methicillin-resistant staphylococcus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile may have been transferred to therapy dogs when patients handled or kissed them, or through exposure to a contaminated environment. The researchers examined 26 therapy dog-and-handler teams in 2007, testing the dogs' forepaws and their handlers' hands for the pathogens before they entered medical facilities.
The researchers then compared the results before the teams entered the facilities to those after they left. After visiting an acute-care facility, one dog was found to have C. difficile on its paws. In a separate instance, MRSA was detected on the lead researcher's hands after handling a dog that had visited a long-term care facility.
The authors of the study concluded that to contain the spreading of germs, hospital patients and dog handlers should follow recommended hand-sanitation procedures.
The study was published online in the March 28, 2009, issue of the Journal of Hospital Infection.

Ever loved a song? So much that you play it on repeat; you tell all your friends about it; you gather all the history of the band and all their albums; you sing it all day around the house ?
Most of us would say yes.
Now, ever been through some situation in life and gone back to the same song? Did you suddenly feel enlightened as to what the writer meant by certain verses or a certain stray sentence you didn't really care about at first?
Now some of us would say yes to that too.
The song didn't change. Neither did the lyrics. Maybe the perspective did. Maybe what meaning you derive from the song isn't even close to what the writer meant. But you feel satisfied. You feel connected. You feel as though finally some stranger on this planet full of humans understands you. Isn't it always about that? The connection, the understanding.
You have your tangled story, your tiny mess, your utopia. The artist has his. The beauty of this situation is that the song or any form of art, isn't supposed to answer your questions or solve your enigma; it's just meant to help you understand. It's meant to make you feel again, to help you breathe again, to help you seek yourself so that you have the strength to step beyond yourself and clear your mess.
So think about this : We walk the same roads everyday, half the strangers that you have fleeting eye contact with are the same people everyday. You are all connected, by that one moment of eye contact, by that one bus that you may unknowingly share everyday, by that one book you both love, by the most random fact, you are all connected. And isn't that beautifully reassuring?
In this world where people die for someone to make sense of all that they are, even the most distant stranger could could be the answer to that plea.
So what if you are shattered, what if you are lost, what if you feel like no one cares? There's always this someone on this planet who spent their entire day or week or month or year making this piece of art that was meant for nothing but you.
And if you're having the best day of your life, winning that award you always dreamt of or finally having that trip you planned for ages; there's always art that celebrates with you, for you and all that you are.
