Cyprus Looks To Its Past For Economic Reboot
By PAN PYLAS
LONDON (AP) â¿¿ As it grapples with the prospect of years of economic pain, Cyprus will try to draw strength from its not-so-distant experience of invasion â¿¿ and the fact a whole generation knows what it means to rebuild from scratch.
But it's a tough task.
Any inspiration will be badly needed on the small east Mediterranean island nation of under a million people, as even the most optimistic forecasters predict years of recession and sky-high unemployment.In many ways, the challenge facing Cyprus now following an international bailout that effectively wipes out a hefty chunk of the banking sector is more daunting than recovery from the events of 1974. Then, the island was split into an internationally recognized, Greek-speaking south and a breakaway Turkish north, following Turkey's invasion in the wake of an attempted coup by supporters of union with Greece. The country's room for maneuver is limited, given that it has already largely exhausted the potential for development from a primarily agricultural state. And any reboot of the economy of the Greek-Cypriot side â¿¿ the part of the island that has joined the European Union and is afflicted by the recent bailout woes â¿¿ will have to be done within the limitations of a colossal debt mountain, a collapsed property bubble, a sclerotic European economy and a seeming dearth of international sympathy. "It's an economic tragedy this time and the difference is you don't know where it'll end up," said Andreas Georgiou, 80. "This could stir social unrest, people are worried about their families, putting their kids through school. In 1974, we had support from the outside, our people were willing to go abroad and find work to send money home. But could this happen again?" Such doubts are on the minds of many Cypriots, even as the resilience shown after 1974 provides grounds for encouragement.

Going Home for the First Time
Many have asked if we will have the children talk to someone, a professional, about everything. The answer is an emphatic, "No!" First of all, many forget that I have my Master's in social work, trained to work with children. They would not do anything differently than I am doing already. Secondly, all counseling should be Biblical. That is the only thing that heals, that brings comfort and peace, that gives answers and hope. My children feel safe sharing with Cameron and I. They open up to us, they share everything and they are appropriately working through their grief. It is going to be a struggle, but you can't magically make it better. God has a reason why He chose our family, and these children specifically, to walk through this valley, and HE WILL use it for His glory in their lives. He will. We should not pity them. Yes, it is heartbreaking that they must also go through this. It hurts this momma's heart. But I trust in God's goodness.
They all slept peacefully last night, and today we packed up everything and headed to Ann Arbor so that our family can be together and closer to the hospital. A friend of ours who lives close to the hospital has graciously allowed us to stay at her home this week while they are away on vacation. We have worked out a schedule where 3 children will come up here from 10-1 and 3 from 2-5. We are asking visitors come after they leave, around 6 pm. We want to be able to focus completely on them when they are here.
I thought it would be difficult to go home and that memories would flood my mind, sending me into an emotional tail-spin, but instead I was overwhelmed with supernatural peace that only God can give. It was amazing. He gave me the strength to go home and face my fears and to help my children. He gave me the words to say to them to bring comfort, healing, hope and to make sense of it all. He is the Great Physician and the ONLY healer and He can use any of us if we submit to Him to work His purposes. We just must rely on the Bible for wisdom. That is the ONLY source of wisdom and healing. ONLY.
We are here as a family and it feels good.
Truman has been taken off all his sedation medication and he is beginning to move. Praise God!
In Christ, Laura

I am a friend of the Newtons. A little over a year ago, while I was out of town visiting my famiy, I miscarried twins. Your husband graciously squeezed me in at the end of a long day and so compassionately ministered to me and my husband. He is a part of our story of Gods sovereign hand at work in our lives. Thank you! We will continue to pray for you all.

Just to see how this can happen and how God can and will sustain his beloved children. And how He uses it for his glory. What a testimony you are to so many, Christian and non-Christian. Thank you for sharing it all with us, it's been a privilege to walk through this valley with you in a small way.

Thank You
Welcome! I am a classical and flamenco guitarist based in Richmond, Virginia and Seville, Spain.
In Richmond, I perform as a soloist and in the ensembles Sueños Gitanos (flamenco-inspired music),
Fado Nosso (Portuguese Fado music), and the Richmond Guitar Quartet (classical guitar).
I will be living in Seville, Spain from August 2013 through June 2014 to study the art of flamenco accompaniment
and to compose and record a new album.
Recent News
August 11th, 2013 - Greetings from Seville!
I arrived in Spain one week ago today and have spent the last week getting settled in Seville and diving into the Spanish language (my main focus for these first six weeks). Classes start at the flamenco school
Fundacion Cristina Heeren
on September 16th. From then on my full time focus will be learning flamenco rhythm, accompaniment, technique and traditions.
-New Thank You Page is Updated
- Thanks to all the individuals and RVA businesses who helped me get to Sevilla!
Their names and/or websites are listed here.
July 2013 - Summer Recording Project -
The Richmond Guitar Quartet spent June and July rehearsing for and recording four tracks for its debut album. The album will feature Piazolla's "Fuga y Misterio", the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 7th Symphony, and Fugues 9 and 14 from Bach's Art of the Fugue. Stay tuned for details on the release of this recording!
-New Rodriguez Flamenco Guitar!
Just in time for my flamenco studies in Spain, I acquired a lovely (both in looks and sound) flamenco guitar with cypress back and sides and a cedar top.
I am loving its bright, percussive sound that will be perfect for accompanying singers and dancers.
June 2013 - Denver Walker's New Website -
My friend and colleague Denver Walker (of
Gitanos and Duo Allegro) recently created a beautiful and informative music website. She graduated from VCU with a classical guitar degree and is beginning what is sure to be an exciting music career.
Check out her site and follow her music here.
May 2013
- The Solea on
Gitanos's debut album was inspired by and named after the character Iorek Byrnison from Philip Pullman's fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials (the Golden Compass, etc). Mr Pullman is one of my favorite authors, so of course I had to send him a copy of the album. He was kind enough to write back "I'm full of admiration for your technique and musicianship and that of your fellow musicians in Sueños Gitanos. I especially like the fascinating blend of colours and influences that runs through the whole album... Thank you for Iorek and for the whole album."

North Carolina short term disability is an important benefit for growing families. Expenses are often highest when couples are having children. This is not a good time to lose your income, but this is exactly what happens when mom takes her maternity leave.
Don't assume that the state offers a program that automatically enrolls everyone. NC does not have a state benefit for temporary disabilities. Learn how private short term disability insurance works in NC.
- Claims forms and policy applications
- Pregnancy bed rest and maternity leave
- North Carolina disability laws
NC Short Term Disability Benefits
North Carolina does not offer a state program. Personal short term disability policies in NC can safeguard your paycheck in the event an accident or illness makes it impossible to earn an income at your regular full time job. Many people think about only permanent conditions: falling off of a horse and being permanently confined to a wheelchair. The reality is most couples have thin financial margins and even minor disruptions cause big problems.
Why Insure a Paycheck?
First, you may have far more in debts than assets, and many of your assets are not liquid. Nobody wants to sell their home to pay for food. Many couples are living check to check when they are healthy thinking they will repay the debts with future earnings.
Second, seemingly minor physical ailments can cause a disruption in earnings. Women in particular work in professions that require physical activity. Nurses, teachers, beauticians, hair stylists, and many other job roles require you to be on your feet all day. Dental hygienists and office workers need the use of their fingers. Imagine tripping on the sidewalk. Your throw your hands out to break your fall, only to break both wrists.
For many couples a temporary cash squeeze makes it hard to pay your mortgage, car payments, etc. If any of these scenarios describe you, you may want to consider a North Carolina short-term policy.
Benefit Amounts
Short term disability in North Carolina can cover as much as sixty percent of your earnings to a maximum of six thousand five hundred dollars monthly. You can select from of range of elimination periods to match your financial cushion. Benefit duration varies depending upon the choices made at time of policy application. File a claim with your insurance carrier if the need arises.
Childbirth a Covered Benefit
Living expenses can be rough for a growing family. Most are just starting out, and not yet at peak earning years, but costs are often highest when couples decide to start having children. There may be out of pocket costs for infertility treatments along with normal challenges of an expanding family. Cost of living may be higher for those living and working in or near Charlotte, and the research triangle.
Maternity Leave
If you are contemplating pregnancy, think about the opportunity to buy a policy that pays benefits for something you influence: your normal pregnancy and healthy infant! North Carolina short term disability for maternity leave works by covering your recovery from normal childbirth. Your maternity leave benefit may be several multiples of the premiums you pay in advance.
Pregnancy Bed Rest
25% of pregnancies will experience one or more complications. You may miss weeks or months of work prior to your delivery. Your temporary policy may continue to replace a portion of your income during this time and help you protect your family finances. You may also experience some type of birth injury or postpartum complication that requires more time to heal than expected. Your doctor may ask you to stay away from work in order to properly recover. Once again, your policy may replace some of your lost earnings during this time.
Do one thing before getting pregnant – get your policy started. Normal delivery will not be covered until nine months after the policy effective date.
North Carolina Disability Laws
North Carolina does not have a law requiring state short term disability benefits for workers in private industry. You will need to purchase a policy for temporary work interruptions. But there are several related regulations that may apply to differing populations and circumstances.
State Employees
Teachers and state government workers do have state mandated coverage for off the job accidents and illnesses. Benefit payments last for up to 365 days or one year. The monthly benefit amount equates to fifty percent of income. Cash payments begin immediately after satisfying the elimination period. Only employees working for at least one full year are eligible.
Permanent Disabilities
North Carolina state coverage consists only of Social Security. Benefits are paid only for total and permanent conditions expected to last 52 weeks or longer. If you are medically unemployed and need help you should contact the NC Department of Health and Human Services.
Parental Leave
North Carolina does not have state level laws addressing parental leave from work. There are several federal laws that apply to workers across the nation. Eligibility is based upon type of employer, number of employees, and the number of hours worked, and other criteria.
Unemployment Compensation
Many couples start a family without thinking ahead about a short term policy to cover maternity leave. Thanks to federal incentives that began in 2009, couples may be able to tap into unemployment benefits under certain circumstances. NC accepted the federal unemployment modernization incentives, and allows workers to use these benefits for a compelling family reason.
You can't use unemployment benefits for your own condition. But you can to take care of an immediate family member with a disability, or a minor child with a health condition. So how does this apply to maternity leave benefits? There are two ways.
If mom experiences a pregnancy related medical condition, dad may be able to tap into unemployment insurance to take care of mom if she requires bed rest.
Sometimes infants are born prematurely, with birth defects, or with a serious medical condition. Twins, triplets, or any multiple pregnancies often deliver early. Preemies often are born with health problems that may require a parent to provide care at home. In this case, once mom is healthy enough to work, she may be able to leverage unemployment insurance to replace income while she cares for a sick infant.

Looking for the hottest links on the web? Here are today's:
What happens between nap time and dinner time when mommy's out of the house? This adorable time-lapse of some father-son time shows the ruckus in the living room – from snack time to clean-up.
This adorable kitten is teaching us about perseverance. All he wants to do is get to the table, but jump, after jump, after jump...he keeps failing.
London rang in the New Year with a gorgeous fireworks show over the iconic Thames River. With around 12,000 fireworks, the explosive show lasted more than 11 minutes. Approximately 250,000 spectators waited for hours to watch the spectacular display.

City Hall Reporter's Notebook: Fair and apathy editionBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | February 24,2014All sorts of people are coming up to me, wanting to share their stories about skullduggery at the Vermont State Fair.
Very few will let me quote them while putting those stories in print.
I will keep listening to whoever will talk to me until Im satisfied the whole story is out. The fair is a local institution and its health matters to all of us. Sunlight remains the best disinfectant.
In a wrinkle that might make the whole affair much more interesting, or might not ever come to anything, Mayor Christopher Louras said Thursday that city officials were monitoring the situation.
I dont know if step in is the right word, but were looking for ways we might get involved, he said. The city, I believe for decades, has always had a very strong interest in seeing that real estate be utilized in a manner that most effectively benefits the city of Rutland. I think a lot of people believe its highest and best use is something other than what it has been.
Board of Aldermen President David Allaire said he did not see how the city might get involved.
It seems, as of right now, a personnel matter between the trustees of the fair and their general manager, he said.
However, he concurred with Louras that there was a prominent school of thought that better use could be made of the fairgrounds.
Its a piece of property that does not pay taxes, he said. Its a piece of property that generates activity for limited times of year. There is always an interest in seeing the property used to its full potential.
Public disinterest
You might recall I put out a call to my readers not long ago, asking what sort of questions you folks would like me to ask the aldermanic candidates.
Know how many responses I got?
Not even any snarky ones.
At least I got people suggesting names for the Northwest neighborhood when I was soliciting those a while back.
This dovetailed nicely with a conversation I had with Alderman William Notte following the Rutland City Democrats cancelling a forum due to among other reasons the quality of the candidates.
Notte said he was happy to see John Matteson on the ballot for a third time, but disappointed that none of the first-time candidates from last years race decided to give it another go.
Notte himself needed two tries before he made it on to the board. He said a candidate should almost expect not to win the first time out, and consider the first year as a chance to introduce oneself to the voters.
Later this week, well be running our annual information box where each candidate is asked the same five questions and gives a brief answer. One of them was about increasing the level of public engagement. Hopefully there will be some novel ideas.
Anyone want to share their own?
Tonight, the Finance Committee meets at 5:30 p.m. to discuss what to do about uncollectible parking tickets. The city will also hold a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. at the Northwest School on the proposed $5 million bond for the stormwater separation project in the Northwest neighborhood.
Tuesday, the Charter and Ordinance Committee meets at 5:30 p.m. to go over the revised Rutland City Master Plan.
PEG-TV will air its annual aldermanic candidates forum live at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

10 Greatest 1990s Comedies
Posted In: 1990s, Bill Murray, comedies, Friday, movies
Comments: No Responses
No one ever says so, but the 1990s had some great comedic movies. Smarty-farty folks may rave about Mel Brooks or Woody Allen's 70s stuff, but the Clinton years produced a wide variety of great, funny films: some really smart looks at working life, some really low-brow 'gross-out' movies and some quirky idiosyncratic flicks that you'd have to see to really appreciate. So we decided to list 10 of the movies that inspired us to shoot goofball sketches and post them on the Internet. Some of these will make you literally Laugh Out Loud and some are chucklers that will have you snickering to yourself for days after. But all are comedic gold from a decade that had more than its fair share of hilarious films.
Yeah, we know we've been ODing on 90s nostalgia lately…there are worse addictions to have.
#10 American Pie (1998)
Waitaminute–this movie is about what? That was a pretty common reaction in 1998 when this innocent tale hit theaters. THe premise–four high school friends trying to lose their virginity before prom–has been done to death since Porky's, but …Pie is full of little details that raise it above its predecessors and peers. Seann William Scott's obnoxious turn as scene-stealer Stifler may have many of the movie's best-remembered lines, but its the everyman likeability of the unlucky protagonist Jim (Jason Biggs) that keeps the film grounded, even as things get crazier and crazier–with certain bodily fluids being ingested and home-baked pastries getting violated.
#9 House Party (1990)
If you are surprised by its inclusion on this list, you probably should go watch it again. Another high school comedy, the movie that transformed Kid N Play from B-list pop-rappers to pop culture phenomenon (sort of), House Party is a perfect mix of youthful exuberance, raunch and music that manages to present the hip hop experience at its most innocent and joyful–in a way that's somehow both authentic and universally-relatable. But besides all of that, its funny as hell–with an endless string of hilarious setpieces and a star-making turn from a young Martin Lawrence.
#8 Dumb and Dumber (1994)
They let you know, right there in the title, what this movie was going for. And they succeeded in creating a film this defiantly stupid. It is a masterpiece of lowbrow, slapstick, brain-dead humor. As goofball best friends Lloyd and Harry, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are pretty close to flawless in their chemistry and the effortless way that they play off of each other. And the plot, involving the buddies traveling cross-country to return a briefcase, only serves as the backdrop for a series of wacky vignettes. If fart jokes and decapitated birds are above your bad taste threshold, this is not the movie for you. But Carrey was on fire in the mid-90s, and this movie is him at his limb-flailing, rubber-faced best.
#7 Election (1999)
Reese Witherpoon seems to have channeled an adolescent Hillary Clinton as Tracy Flick–the uber-motivated, hyper-ambitious teenager at the center of this warped high school comedy. Matthew Broderick stars as the frazzled teacher who seeks to undermine Flick's campaign for class president by recruiting a dim-witted-but-very-popular jock (Chris Klein) to run against her. The movie is a biting satire of high school, type-A personalities, mid-life crises and sexuality that wrings more than its fair share of uncomfortable laughs from a brilliantly subversive premise. The role made Witherspoon a star–and for good reason; she succeeds at making Tracy formidable, vulnerable–and a little terrifying.
#6 My Cousin Vinny (1992)
There have been several fish-out-of-water comedies over the years, but very few are as on-the-nose and warm-hearted as My Cousin Vinny. Joe Pesci is perfect as ambulance-chaser Vinny Gambini, a small-time lawyer called down to Alabama to defend his cousin on a murder charge. As his smart-and-sassy girlfriend, Marisa Tomei is stellar as well, and the script features several smart examinations on small-town southern life as filtered through the eyes of a hapless New Yorker. Joe Pesci tried his hand at several comedic roles, but he was never better than here.
#5 Rushmore (1998)
A movie that manages to be cynical and sentimental all at once, Wes Anderson's second film was his masterpiece. The odd tale of gifted teen Max Fischer, his millionaire 40something best friend Herman Bloom and their mutual love for a school teacher, the movie is so quirky its almost precious; but the characters are so well-developed that it never feels forced. Jason Schwartzman is excellent as Max, who's both an overachieving prodigy and an underdeveloped outsider; and Bill Murray's performance as the bitter Bloom should be required viewing for fans of nuanced comedy.
#4 Groundhog Day (1993)
Smart. Funny. Original. This Harold Ramis-directed gem is probably Bill Murray's greatest comedic performance. Murray is entirely believable as jerky local newscaster Phil Connors, and when the cosmos decides to cruelly trap him in the same day for eternity, his various reactions–from fear to opportunism to morbid depression–are as relatable as they are hilarious. Murray's gift for obvious insincerity and dry sarcasm is on full display and the repetiveness of each scene affords Phil new ways to approach every scenario that he's already lived a thousand times before.
#3 The Big Lebowski (1998)
"That rug really tied the room together." A bizarre comedic masterpiece from the Coen Brothers, the story of a burned-out L.A. hippie, his angry Vietnam vet friend and their quest to manipulate a ransom involving a wheel-chair bound millionaire and his porn star wife; this movie's plot is so quirky, you'd only get weird looks from anyone you ever tried to explain it to. Nonetheless, Jeff Bridges, as "The Dude," is brilliantly lackadaisical through a series of weird misadventures. And John Goodman's Walter? A ticking timebomb of comedic volatility.
#2 Office Space (1999)
Anyone–and I mean anyone–that has ever had to work a desk job can relate to this note-perfect satire of white-collar workplace hell. Soul-crushing middle managers, undeservedly-perky secretaries, copiers that don't ever work, meetings about meetings, reports and forms–its all there. Unlike most of the other movies on this list, Office Space doesn't sport a lot of big names, but its script–written by "Beavis & Butthead" creator Mike Judge–is packed with smarts and insight into what makes cubicle crusaders so irritable. And it'll make you think twice before taking your co-worker's stapler.
So what was the best comedy of the 1990s? Many will disagree, but we claim the title for a lil low budget stoner movie shot in South Central…
#1 Friday (1995)
Is there a comedy from the 1990s that is more quoted and more enduring than this humorous look at 24 hours in the life of two buddies from the 'hood? Probably not. With an amiable script that fits the pot-smoking themes and a comedic performance from Chris Tucker that ranks among the very best, Friday is a movie that transcended its target audience to become a stoner classic and one of the 90s most beloved comedies. Everyone from dope boys to aging hippies has it in their collection–and its not hard to understand why. The pot jokes are there, but there's also the non-stop one-liners from Tucker, and every vignette–and there are many–is a hilarious look at life in a neighborhood that, up to that point, had been mostly portrayed in cinema as grim and violent. The two sequels are a mixed-bag, and hood comedies would wear out their welcome rather quickly, but Friday stands as a comedy classic that has, oddly enough, proven to have staying power.
And that's that. Let the hatemail commence…

MCS Parent Testimonial Featured
When asked "In what ways has your child thrived in the MCS environment?" this was one Montessori Community School parent's response:
Every one of my children is different. Because Montessori adapts to the individual needs of every child, the Montessori Community School has been the right place for each of them.
Many of the skills that are essential to function as happy, passionate, and contributing members of our society, do not come naturally and take years to master. Entire books have been written and read by adults on how to acquire the skills to be effective members of the society. I think about, organizational skills, a sense of order, the capability to work independently, research, thinking and analyzing, leading meetings & debates, conflict resolution, listening skills, mindfulness, staying connected with your passions, goal setting. At MCS, my children have been learning and integrating these skills starting in early childhood. The process is so natural that they do not even realize it. When leaving on a camping trip, I can always count on Elise to make the checklist and organize the trip. She started planning all our camping trips in 3rd grade! In upper elementary she was able to successfully lead a group discussion with parents, make sure everyone had a chance to express their opinions, and keep the conversation going during silent moments. She has always followed her passions and inner voice, a quality I attribute to the school environment where children always have a choice within a well- prepared environment. She knows how to bring order and re-organize living and work spaces. She even enjoys it, as that is the kind of environment she has always known at home and at school. As a middle school student today, she helps my husband come up with solutions to problems that arise in the daily management of our business. Thinking things through is something they have always done at school.
My son started MCS only in Kindergarten. It took him a long time to feel safe in a larger group. His teachers were well aware that he needed to observe his environment first, before he could start working on reading and writing skills. As he was not subjected to testing, he never felt behind. Today at 9 years old, he is a confident reader and does not want to put his reading book down at night.
Annabelle, my 6 year old loves art. Half of her time at home is spent doing art project. It has been wonderful for her to continue doing art project at school and still work on her reading skills. Because the Montessori materials are so unique and adaptable to the individual needs of each child, the teachers guide her to art projects that integrate reading and writing skills.
She also loves to do everything by herself and is convinced that is how she learned reading and writing. I love that in the Montessori method. From an early age on the children are empowered by learning independently, through well-adapted and beautiful materials, with little guidance from the teachers. They are confident that the knowledge of the world is at their fingertips.
-Marie Bosteels 2013, current MCS Parent

WASHINGTON, November 11, 2011 – The Washington National Opera's new production of Gaetano Donizetti's beloved Lucia di Lammermoor is both brilliant and maddening. It's distinguished by its phenomenal soloists and a psychologically provocative, updated setting. But on opening night, both cast and crew were undermined, at least visually, by the production's sepulchral lighting scheme. Also an issue: a chorus that tended to set its own breakneck and ignore the clear, sensible direction of WNO conductor and music director Philippe Auguin.
Based on Sir Walter Scott's Scottish novel "The Bride of Lammermoor," Lucia, first performed in 1835, is the melodramatic tale of a beleaguered and very pre-feminist young woman. She's driven to madness by her amoral and avaricious brother, Enrico, who, with his macho minions, is primarily interested in murder and money, pretty much in that order. To that end, to recapitalize and re-enter the Scottish 1% crowd, he appropriates the neighboring estate and railroads his sister into marrying the wealthy Arturo.
Enter Enrico's hapless neighbor, Edgardo, the sole survivor of Enrico's latest predation. Guess who's secretly fallen in love with him? Lucia, of course. When Enrico discovers this, he's infuriated and forcefully concludes Lucia's sham nuptials with Arturo. Lucia flips out with the most spectacular mad scene in the history of opera, and the predictable carnage begins. Who says tragic opera is boring?
WNO has chosen to employ a production originated by the English National Opera for the current Lucia, which the company last performed here in 2002. The English sets depict the depressing interior of a decaying Scottish mansion, updating the opera's action to the early Victorian era. But director David Alden and associate director Ian Rutherford have employed monochromatic costuming and a gloomy lighting scheme to transform this interior into nothing less than an insane asylum—the perfect setting for Lucia's pathologically dysfunctional family and retinue.
Problem is, someone forgot to turn on the lights. Granted, gloom and doom is perfectly okay for an opera like Lucia, despite this critic's well-known aversion toward boring, Eurogray productions of nearly everything. (They have remained somehow fashionably "avant-garde" for roughly forty years and counting.) But this production's lighting design—attributed to Zeb Lalljee and associate Jeff Bruckerhoff—skews wide of the mark, plunging the stage into tableaux of creepily atmospheric but disastrously overpowering shadows and voids that, for at least seventy-five per cent of the opera's running time, almost entirely obscure both cast and chorus. It's a case of dark symbolism gone wild.
Matters are made worse by the fact that—with the modest exception of Edgardo, whose sartorial splendor blooms in Scottish plaid with muted browns and greens—the remaining cast and chorus is clad in monochromatic shades of black, white, and gray. Combined with the lighting scheme, the total effect makes you wish the KenCen had asked the Pentagon to loan out a cache of surplus night-vision goggles sufficient to enable the audience to actually see the singers they'd paid to see.
'Nuff said. Fortunately, an opera performance ultimately rises and falls on the quality of the singing. Blessed with a first-rate cast of singers, the WNO without question has a winner here from a musical standpoint.
Lucia's vocal centerpiece, of course, is its dreadfully put-upon heroine. As Lucia, winsome soprano Sarah Coburn—already a local favorite—gives an intriguing, complex performance, portraying her character as an impressionistic girl, barely an adult and already somewhat remote from the reality of her situation even during her first innocent entrance and solo.
Ms. Coburn's translucently-sculpted lyric soprano contributes an element of innocence to this opera's otherwise brutal world, adding a delicately balanced poignancy to her character that other productions of Lucia tend to miss. Vocally, she's superb, effortlessly nailing her top notes and gliding through Donizetti's most difficult ornamentation and trills as if she's been singing this role practically forever. Our only quibble with her performance on opening night was a rather trembly vibrato that materialized during her opening scene—something we've never heard from this singer before and something that vanished quickly enough.
As expected, Lucia's "mad scene" gave Ms. Coburn ample opportunity to put her own stamp on one of opera's most famous set pieces. At this point, her character—savagely betrayed by her brother and spurned by her uncomprehending lover—has gone completely to pieces. Awash in blood, she's obviously terminated her forced marriage to Arturo in a most emphatic manner. Now entirely disconnected from reality, she wanders about the stage like a somnambulist, snatching snippets of her imagined present and past out of thin air, directing her vocal lines to mind-meld with Lucia's hallucinations.
Enhancing this haunting performance was the musical master-stroke of the evening, as the orchestra added a "glass armonica"** to its accompaniment. Actually scored by Donizetti himself for the opera's initial performances, its spooky, shimmering echoes underscore the pure madness of Lucia and her hopeless situation. It's a shame that most performances of the opera today neglect to employ it.
In addition to Ms. Coburn, the remaining soloists turned in remarkable performances as well Thursday evening. As monk-tutor Raimondo, bass Mirco Palazzi sportrayed his character as almost entirely lacking in conscience. His diction was remarkably crisp and accurate, and his voice added gravitas to the opera's ensembles.
Baritone Michael Cioldi portrays Enrico as a cold, twisted psychopath. Undoubtedly at David Alden's directorial suggestion, Mr. Cioldi's Enrico exhibits further signs of depravity early in the opera's second half. He compulsively appropriates his sister's childhood toys and forcibly restrains her, suggesting a history of incest and sadism among his character's other stellar qualities. He's quite the villain in this production, and underlines his character's inner motivations with a menacing, almost snarling vocal delivery.
As the flawed hero, Edgardo, tenor Saimir Pirgu is, well, flawed—in a professional way, of course. Impulsive, irrational, and arguably as close to the mental edge as is Lucia, Mr. Pirgu sings Edgardo as a man who's very close to the edge as his world rapidly collapses before him. With a surprisingly bitter tenor, he's a vocal match for Mr. Cioldi's coldness. Their scenes together crackle with tension.
In ensemble, these fine soloists shone most brightly in the opera's well-known sextet, "Chi mi frena in tal momento?" ("What holds me back in such a moment?"). Here, Edgardo is joined by Enrico, Lucia, Raimondo, and—a bit later on—Lucia's unlucky husband Arturo (tenor Corey Even Rotz who sang the role in WNO's last production) and her servant Alisa (mezzo-soprano Sarah Mesko). Here, each character-vocalist unites with the others in a passionate complaint. Together, they build their individual and collective guilt and misery into a sublimely moving operatic set piece. It's a magical musical moment, and the excellence of Thursday evening's performance is likely to be long remembered here.
Aside from our vigorous lighting complaint, glitches in this production were remarkably few. Again, the most obvious and annoying was the lengthy Act I disconnect between the chorus and the conductor—blessedly remedied for the most part by the time Act II rolled around. It's hard to understand why this occurred over such a sustained period, save for another strange directorial choice of having the chorus mill about outside the windows of the set. This may have made it difficult to maintain even minimal eye contact with the conductor. Hopefully, WNO will remedy this problem in successive performances, leaving only the lighting as a major issue.
WNO is rotating two casts of primary soloists during this run of Lucia. If we can, we'll try to catch the alternate cast in a performance this week and provide an update to this review.
For tickets, information on the casts, and dates and times of Lucia's remaining performances, running through November 19, visit WNO's site—now part of the Kennedy Center website here.
** Although the "glass armonica" for this production actually appears on stage, the performing instrument in the orchestra pit and is being played by soloist William Zeitler for these performances.
The glass armonica (sometimes "glass harmonica") was a mechanical instrument invented by Ben Franklin. Franklin was a good amateur musician himself, and enjoyed the novelty effect of the "glass harp," a novelty instrument created using wine goblets tuned by filling them with varying levels of water and playing the rims with moistened fingers.
Mozart and several other noted composers actually wrote music for the glass harp. But Franklin, always the tinkerer, chose to transform this somewhat random instrument into a series of tuned, concentric glass plates that turned on a mechanical device, providing more uniformity of sound and greater opportunity for virtuosity.
This device is so fascinating that we'll be posting more on it very shortly, so watch this space.

Patio Furniture
As barbecue season comes to a close, discounts on outdoor tables and chairs are cooking. Consider:
- YOUR INVESTMENT Wood isn't cheap, but can last years. Plastic tends to be inexpensive, but can fade or crack from prolonged sun exposure. Furniture made of aluminum and coated steel is long-lasting but pricey.
- YOUR YARD If your outdoor space gets a lot of direct sun, choose materials (like wood) and colors (light ones) that won't heat up as much, or look at tables with large umbrellas.
- YOUR SPACE Some furniture is collapsible or can be stacked for storage. Wicker, metal, and wood pieces (the exceptions: cedar and teak) should be kept inside or well covered for the winter; make sure you have the room to store them.
- YOUR COMFORT For cushions, look for acrylic or Sunbrella fabric that resists fading, and choose ones that are double-sided so they can be flipped. Ties should be at least 10 inches long.

Can Golf Courses Save The Red-Headed Woodpecker?
With its spectacular full head of crimson red, this particular woodpecker is literally losing ground. It is losing its specialized habitat and therefore decreasing its numbers, which is worrisome to wildlife biologists and bird watchers. Woodpeckers in general are arguably the most important bird in the woods because their hole-making ability creates a habitat for so many other species, including screech owls, chickadees, woodchucks and squirrels. The red-headed woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) was once among the most common birds that bred … Continue reading

Michigan's Grand Haven State Park–48 acres of sumptuous white-sand beach along the shores of Lake Michigan–serves over 92,000 campers each year, and generates over $1 million in revenue. Since campers flock to the park to enjoy the million-dollar views, it was an unavoidable necessity to use the 50-year-old park bathrooms and shower house. The dark, damp and antiquated facilities inadvertently promoted water saving as campers hated to go there. All of that changed this spring with the unveiling of Michigan's … Continue reading

[205] Genomic Profiling of Adenoid Cystic Carcinomas of the Breast.
Maria-Angeles Lopez-Garcia, Daniel Wetterskog, Maryou B Lambros, Felipe C Geyer, Radost Vatcheva, Zoran Gatalica, Britta Weigelt, Jorge S Reis-Filho. Institute of Cancer Research, London, United Kingdom; Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocio, Seville, Spain; Creighton University Medical Center, Omaha; CRUK London Research Institute, United Kingdom
Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) of the breast is a rare type of breast cancer, of histological low grade, and of triple negative and basal-like phenotype. Genome-wide genetic aberrations in AdCCs have so far only been investigated in AdCCs of the salivary gland but not AdCCs of the breast. The only genomic aberration reported for breast AdCCs is the chromosomal translocation t(6;9) leading, primarily, to the fusion of the oncogene MYB with the transcription factor NFIB. The aims of this study were to determine whether breast AdCCs are entities distinct from histological grade- matched invasive ductal carcinomas (IDC-NSTs) and of basal-like IDC-NSTs.
Design: Seventeen AdCCs of the breast were microdissected and subjected to genetic analysis with high-resolution microarray-based comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH). aCGH profiles for breast AdCCs were compared to those of histological grade- matched IDC-NSTs and basal-like IDC-NSTs. Unsupervised and supervised aCGH analysis methods were employed.
Results: aCGH analysis revealed that breast AdCCs display 'simplex' genomic profiles, lacking amplifications and having common regions (>40%) of gains on 16p13.3, 17q, 1p36, 4p16, 11p15, 12p13.3, and loss on 6q23.3-q27. AdCCs significantly less frequently harboured the copy number aberrations found in the grade-matched IDC-NSTs, including gains of 1q and 16p or losses of 8p, 11q, 16q and 22q. Moreover, AdCCs of the breast significantly differed from basal like IDC-NSTs at the genomic level, given that they less frequently harboured gains of 6p, 8q and 10p and losses of 5q, 12q, and 15q. In fact, significant differences between AdCCs and grade-matched and basal-like IDC-NSTs affected 22% and 54% of the genome, respectively.
Conclusions: AdCCs of the breast showed significantly lower levels of genetic instability and copy number aberrations than grade-matched and basal-like IDC-NSTs. Based on the patterns of copy number changes, breast AdCCs represent a distinct entity from both grade-matched and basal-like IDC-NSTs. The low level of genetic instability indicate that other genetic aberrations such as the MYB-NFIB fusion transcript may be responsible for the pathogenesis in the majority of the AdCCs of the breast.

Available Options:
Standard unit as shown with static pressure top vent grate (+0)
EcoVenter solar powered vent fan add-on for use with older buildings and heavily active sites(+69.95)
Product Description
...NO more stinky air pulled into your airconditioner
...NO more summer smelly air drifting in open windows
...NO more backyard odors ruining your barbeque.
...NO measuring or painting required.
"Epoxy phenolic coated PVC and ABS Plastic Design"
"Same material as your vent pipes, with no metal parts to corrode."
Three month, 100% Money Back Warranty.
First, all drain and sewage waste from your house flows into the sewer or septic tank.
Secondly, as wastewater flows into any drain, foul, corrosive, toxic gas laden, air is displaced and must be vented (H2S..hyrdogen sulfide and methyl mercaptans), or the water will not go down the drain. Many homes (especially mass produced houses) have been designed to minimize plumbing costs. One major efficiency is the use of branch venting for fixtures in close proximity. Although less expensive initially, it makes sewer odors far more common.
Homes with second stories and/or basements have several arrangements not usually found in single story and slab homes.
In many areas it is now law that all drain pipe roof vents are fitted with activated carbon filter vents when a new house is constructed. However, they can be installed into existing systems. Often this is necessary to assure proper "odor free" operation of the vent pipe.
Septic Tank Odor Plumbers Helper Systems by PEC
The PEC Sweet Filter requires no special tools for installation and simply slides onto existing drain vent pipes on your roof with universal fitting included with your purchase. Constructed of black coated PVC and auto-regenerative granulated activated carbon, the PEC Sweet Filter eliminates septic tank odors for up to 5 years without recharging.
PEC Sweet Filters fit all roof top drain vent pipes up to 4 inches in diameter (SF-110).
Free adapters for cast iron pipe up to 5.5"

Flyers bring back Hextall as assistant GM
The Philadelphia Flyers have hired a familiar face, Ron Hextall, as assistant general manager and director of hockey operations.
Philadelphia general manager Paul Holmgren made the announcement on Monday, as the Flyers welcomed back one of the most successful goaltenders in franchise history.
Hextall, 49, played 11 seasons for the Flyers, appearing in 489 regular-season games across three different stints with the team (1986-92, 1994-95, and 1998-99). He went 240-172-58 and posted a 2.91 goals-against average. His 45 playoff wins are the most in Flyers history.
Hextall spent the last seven seasons with the Los Angeles Kings as vice president and assistant general manager. The Kings won the Stanley Cup in 2012.

Accident leads Rawlins woman to make lifestyle changes
by Nicholas DeMarino, Rawlins Daily Times
Sherril Bailey, and her dog, Winston, made it through
a harrowing ordeal in Bailey's Rawlins home in late July
and early August when Bailey fell in her home and was not discovered
for seven days.
On July 30, Bailey fell from the bottom stair of her Rawlins
home into the 4-foot by 4-foot entryway by the garage. She remained
there until Aug. 6 — seven days without food or water.
"I should have died," she said, recounting the ordeal through
tears. "I don't know how long I spent there trying
to get up, telling myself, 'You stupid dope, why don't
you have one of those cell phones.'"
Bailey is 62 and lives alone, save her Shitzu Maltese, Winston.
On the day of the fall, she'd returned from a doctor's
appointment regarding her upcoming right hip replacement. The
hip pain forced her to favor her left leg, the leg on the side
of her
body partially paralyzed by a 1996 stroke.
Bailey fell sometime around 8 p.m. She was largely immobilized
and had no emergency medical alert button or cell phone.

From the "so obvious I should have known" department.
I was watching a gaming video and the start of the video was really slow. I realised that I rarely fast forward through YouTube videos and when I do it's with the mouse to skip big chunks of video.
I only wanted to skip the bit about the game menu and the mouse would have been painful clicking on the progress bar all the time. What about the keyboard? I had read that using j and k goes back and forward but it didn't work for me so I searched for this most obvious of answers and found this page.
J and K still don't work but right and left arrow do the job and there are also many other controls!

The enemies have just shown themselves. I believe there are still quite a few battles to be fought - and won - against many entrenched powers, and that they must be identified early on, to let the public know where the lines are drawn.
My candidates for the villains of the play are several, most of them well known, but it probably helps to re-state a few of them here:
- 1. Dogmatic Interests, not only "religious" who reject secular evidence, but also "secular" who reject anything not written in their own Holy Scripts (previously published experts' opinion)
- 2. Fringe theorists, not only "alien civilization" promoters, but also lovers of esoteric interpretations of ancient facts who are delighted by new fanciful but unscientific theories of nature
- 3. Unimaginative purists who believe all theories must be based only on "proven hard evidence", and reject the need to formulate different unorthodox explanations, even when they can be made to fit the established facts
- 4. Circular theorists, close to the Marxist or Freudian dialectic reasoning schools, who cannot consider the falsifiability of a proposition as a valid criterion for acceptability and thus reject the scientific method if it hurts cherished notions, but proclaim that they are the ones "making" science
- 5. Erudites who follow (mostly) a "majority rule" concerning the acceptability of any proposition which is supported by enough publications by one or another of a group of "acceptable" experts, and the rejection of it if the group contains a proportion of "unacceptable" authors, as well as if the supporting publications do not seem wide enough.
No doubt there are other villains to be identified, but these five characterize the groups I have come upon, and any of them would certainly be motivated enough to resort to hacking if it seemed necessary. Perhaps a new objective blog site could be reformulated, based on explicit rejection of these five undesirable prototypes (and maybe a few others)firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364483493378543681.post-3252788537680250732013-01-22T15:20:45.352Z2013-01-22T15:20:45.352ZGood people seeking knowledge do not deserve this....Good people seeking knowledge do not deserve this.

Hey everyone. I just bought a new Ranco ETC 111000 temperature controller and the one or two videos on youtube on how to wire it were pretty dismal (and ridiculously long at 10 and 15 minutes!!!). So I got together with my friend John today and we shot one of our own.
It's only a minute and a half and even clearer than the others. Like it and comment on youtube and then let us know what you think of it here! Hope it helps.
Well that makes it look simple. You're right about the others. There's alot of talking which makes it kinda confusing. Great vid.
That looks pretty easy, thinking about picking one of these up to run my keezer and using the stc-1000 for fermentation refrigerator.
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I had written the below response but totally forgot to post it so I felt it was necessary for anyone interested in the future.
I gotta say, wiring it is a piece of cake. Shooting the video took wayyyy longer. Even the operation couldn't be easier. I was glad to pay the extra few bucks for this digital one over anything analog. I paid a touch under $50 bucks (shipped) for mine from a reputable seller on ebay. Got it super fast and grabbed the 10ft extension from Harbor Freight for $6.50.
You will additionally need a wire nut (preferred) or electrical tape for this job not mentioned in the beginning of the video.
The only thing I would've added had I found one (made the time to find one) was a 1/2" NM/SE (non-metalic/service entrance) connector sometimes known as a squeeze connector or Romex connector typically made by Gampak or Halex. This goes in the conduit knockout in the bottom of the Ranco controller and clamps down on the cable to eliminate cable stress on the teriminal blocks and eliminating the possibility that the cables can pull out of the terminal blocks. I had my friend float some hot glue in my conduit knockout after it all was wired instead.
Tips: Don't use any larger gauge cable than 14 (larger cable = lower number) or it won't fit in the terminal blocks. I used 14 but 16 gauge is probably your best bet here as long as your extension cord isn't too long. Try not to leave as much copper showing as I initially did. I ended up going back and trimming the wire and made sure it was pushed as far as possible into the terminal block. If you're handy with a soldering iron, it would also be wise to tin the wires.
Need this
Just watched the video. Well done. I feel a little better about buying the diy version now. And it saves me 30 bucks from morebeer. My wallet thanks you.
So If I take this approach (and using it with a freezer fermentation chamber) I could us this modified Ranco ETC 111000 temperature controller with a heat source during the winter months then I could us the controller with the freezer during the hot months correct?
