They've gone to an inordinate amount of trouble in "My One and Only," which opened last night at the St. James, to dress up a batch of old Gershwin tunes and string them together with a half-hearted story line in the hope of arriving at "a new Gershwin musical." If it weren't for some spirited hoofing, we might just as well have done with a staged concert of the songs interpreted by some first-class vocalists, which we certainly don't have here.
The show seems to have emerged by a painful process from the 1927 Gershwin musical comedy "Funny Face" starring Fred and Adele Astaire, who unhappily aren't present this time around. At any rate, five of the original "Funny Face" songs are employed, along with numbers from several other Gershwin shows and movies.
The result is a hodgepodge with a new book, set in 1927 and involving the romance between an adventurous aviator, a kind of Unlucky Lindy, and an English Channel swimmer. If this book, the product of Peter Stone and Timothy S. Mayer, was a conscious attempt to recapture the silliness of musical-comedy books of the period, they've certainly succeeded. The original is said to have been pretty impossible (it was the Gershwin songs that carried the evening), but it couldn't have been more foolish than this one.
Twiggy, who has filled out becomingly over the years, is charming and acts with attractive British aplomb. Tune is - well, lanky as you surely know, and engaging, and can sing a bit and hoof expertly.
But when it comes to hoofing, nobody onstage is in a class with the veteran Charles (Honi) Coles, whose rare ability is used only once, and then in a demonstration number in which he has Tune by his side. I daresay that, if left alone on the stage, as he had every right to be, Coles' natural skill and, above all, his elegance would have outshone everything around him.
So, forgetting the dopey and unfunny book, which travels from Manhattan to Staten Island to Morocco and possibly elsewhere without moving an inch, what have we left? "'S Wonderful," the biggest "Funny Face" hit, serves for a playful song and dane number by Twiggy and Tune on a beach with a little pool of water before it in which the two can execute a splash dance. And the entrancing "He Loves and She Loves" is put to pleasant use. In fact, almost all the dance numbers, choreographed by Tune and Thommie Walsh (with the notable exception of Coles' inimitable foot vocabulary), can be called playful until, next to closing, the dancing chorus (we might as well call the girls chorus cuties, using 1927 terminology, because that's what they surely are, especially an unidentified redhead with comic flair) erupts in "Kickin' the Clouds Away," an almost totally forgotten Gershwin number with lyrics by both brother Ira and Buddy DeSylva. The arch white chorines and the fleet black male dancers (especially another unidentified, but remarkable, dancer - a short chap with glasses) momentarily lift the evening out of the doldrums that afflict it whenever the book, or even some of the new musical arrangements, get in the way. Ironically - but characteristically, I'm afraid - the Gershwins' sardonic anti-war march "Strike Up the Band" is used, with somewhat revised words, for both a first-act and second-act finale, the latter with a quartet of flag-waving officers, no less.
A word of praise for the feisty female comic, Denny Dillon, and the heavy, Bruce McGill, in their winningly sung "Funny Face." Roscoe Lee Browne's considerable acting talents are wasted in the role of a Harlem minister who runs a speakeasy by night. A white male quartet (probably an echo of the Yacht Club Boys) and a black one juice up some of the musical numbers.
The overall direction by the team of Tune and Walsh (with a little help from their friends) is adequate. But the settings, though many, are mostly tacky and unoriginal, except for one or two effectively flashy touches. Same goes for the lighting. Of most help are the costumes, most of them in a wide and wild variety of styles.
There are good moments in "My One and Only," but they're really due to Gershwin's music (oddly, Ira's lyrics often sound rather ordinary and repetitive today, though this latter complaint may be due to the borrowing of songs from so many different sources). In most respects, the show has been so ineptly put together that most of the professionalism on hand is wasted.
Imagine a 6-foot-6 Fred Astaire and a wispily, wistfully skinny Adele Astaire - not that I ever saw Adele Astaire - and I suspect you would have Tommy Tune and Twiggy in My One and Only.
George Gershwin's new musical, which opened last night at the St. James Theater, deserves to be the surprise hit of the season. George Gershwin? The big and ironic surprise is that Gershwin is scarcely writing new musicals these days.
Do not let us delay ourselves too much on its genesis. It was, it seems, originally intended as a revival of the George and Ira Gershwin musical, Funny Face, which did indeed star the Astaires way back in 1927.
The present intended revival flopped in some place such as Boston - although come to think of it there is conceivably only one Boston - and the producers went back to the drawing board, brought in Peter Stone and Timothy S. Mayer to provide a completely new book, introduced Gershwin songs from some of their other musicals, so voila - a new Gershwin musical.
Then the producers had to leave the rest to hope, charity, and their new directors, Tune himself and Thommie Walsh who, as they say, staged and directed the entire show.
Rumor, and I think even report, has it, that they had a little help from their friends, such as Mike Nichols and Michael Bennett.
But when the chips are down and the curtain up, a Broadway show is scarcely a corporate company decision, and from tip to tapping toe this show has all the mark of a cheerfully melodious Tune about it.
Nowadays Tune is so innovative in the musical that he is beginning to develop his own cliches. But, kidding apart, this is just a lovely show.
The book staggers around a bit - yet it is very witty and agreeably savvy and sassy.
Why, of course, it staggers once in a while because it has had to be written around the songs. But the authors have clearly found a lot of fun in this, and it is a fun we share in.
The story is about a young aviator who falls in love with an aquacade star. The aquacade star - should one say "Miss Twiggy" to a lady without a first name? - has already swum the English Channel, and the aviator, the aforesaid Tune, is hoping to beat Lindberg in flying the Atlantic. Apparently he does, but therein lies their love story. He never makes a claim for distinction, only for love.
There are flaws. It is very obviously a show that has been manufactured rather than created - if you see what I mean. But I found it totally delightful. Or, as Ira Gershwin would put it: S'Wonderful.
First you have the Gershwin music and his brother's unbelievably deft lyrics. Surely only Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim, or maybe Hart and Lerner, have written Broadway lyrics of this dexterity?
Then you have a production of audacious camp. It is rewardingly outrageous. It piles outrage on outrage, camp upon follower, until its final, flamboyant, curtain call finale.
Let us not forget in all this the finely original sets by Adrianne Lobel (even if she did steal her finale from Balanchine's Stars and Stripes), the costumes by Rita Ryack, (who stole from nothing but glitter and glintz), and the light by Marcia Madeira.
Yet possibly the bottom line is Tune, himself, and Twiggy. They are terrific. Tune dances, Tune sings, Tune charms. We all knew that. But Twiggy is a revelation.
She was an English model, and I knew she was a strange kind of celebrity, in the way of those things, but I hadn't watched her career with any interest, and certainly didn't know she had any talent. But the lady's not just a dish, she's delicious. She's sexy.
She sings in a weird Cockney accent, you can almost hear her count when she tap-dances, and the woman's a genuine star.
The rest of the cast is also admirable, Roscoe Lee Brown is splendid as a Harlem preacher who doubles as a speakeasy owner (it is, of course, but of course, the '20s, by the way) and Honi Coles, nowadays the smoothest tap dancer of them all, is excessively suave to success - nothing equals it - as the barber adviser who tells Tune how to get his swimming lady away from the villainous Nicky, played with charming villiany by Bruce McGill.
And Denny Dillon is spunkily attractive as a distraught girl mechanic in love with both her plane and aviator.
But - eventually - what this show has is style, Twiggy, Tune, a wittily imaginative book, and, let's not forget, those Gershwins. It is amply enough.
Capt. Billy Buck Chandler (Tommy Tune), the derring-do 1920's hero of the musical ''My One and Only,'' dreams of being ''the first man in history to fly nonstop to Paris.'' It's giving away nothing to say that Billy at last takes flight in Act II, and, as he does, so does the entertainment that contains him. The second half of the handsome show at the St. James levitates with some of the most inspired choreography Broadway has seen in several seasons - all set to the celestial music of George Gershwin and danced to kill by a company glittering in Art Deco swank.
Until then, ''My One and Only'' is a smart and happy, if less than electrifying, spin down memory lane. Yet even at its most innocuous, this show receives a considerable boost from its Gershwin songs: the entire score, stitched together by a pastiche period book, derives from the Broadway trove created by the composer and his brother, Ira, a half-century ago. When Mr. Tune and his adorable leading lady, Twiggy, glide about in moonlight to ''He Loves and She Loves'' and '''S Wonderful,'' they may not make you forget Fred Astaire partnering Audrey Hepburn to the same standards in the film ''Funny Face.'' But the Gershwin tunes and lyrics are so potent you'll be transported all the same.
As has been widely publicized, the Gershwins are perhaps the only authors whose contributions to ''My One and Only'' are completely identifiable. During this production's troubled gestation period, seemingly half of show business pitched in to offer anonymous help - no doubt the half that wasn't toiling on the screenplay of ''Tootsie.'' The result of the effort is not the brilliant musical the theater desperately craves, but nonetheless a slick one, brimming with high-hat confidence.
''My One and Only'' even has a coherent - and delightful - style. From its bright, cartoonish sets in shiny David Hockneyesque primary colors to the relaxed, debonair gait of the direction and choreography by Mr. Tune and Thommie Walsh, this musical achieves an airy, easygoing charm that runs happily counter to Broadway's current aggressive fashion. However much sweat went into ''My One and Only,'' the show doesn't feel like work.
Though the songs are familiar, the approach is often clever. In the opening number, ''I Can't Be Bothered Now,'' the directors' cockeyed slant is established by a trio of tuxedo-clad scat singers who deliver the song with mischievous insouciance. ''Sweet and Low-Down,'' soon to follow, is a black-tie-and-tails strut, in which the white canes and gloves glow in phosphorescent light. When '''S Wonderful'' is danced by the stars on a deserted beach, the couple enter a pool of water to splash on beat.
At no time is the classic music compromised by contemporary tampering - even when ''Funny Face'' is sung by the show's most clownish performers, the able Denny Dillon and Bruce McGill, seated on the floor. The orchestrations (by Michael Gibson) and the dance arrangements (by Wally Harper, Peter Larson and Peter Howard) are ever so delicately jazzed-up rethinkings of the past. The voices, while not sterling, are firm. Mr. Tune brings a forceful belt to ''Strike Up the Band,'' which he delivers as a vehement, slow-tempo anthem in the manner of the early Barbra Streisand's ''Happy Days Are Here Again.'' Twiggy has an odd catch in her throat that summons the bygone vocal idiom of the 20's.
Most of what Twiggy does is fetchingly odd. Not quite an accomplished actress, singer or dancer and not quite beautiful, she has a striking, slinky presence and vulnerable, little-lost-flapper look that is instantly winning. Cast as an Englishwoman famous for swimming the English Channel, she gets to appear in some smashing black-and-silver bathing costumes (exquisitely designed by Rita Ryack) with shimmering helmets to match. But whatever she's wearing, it's her plaintive, intimate renditions of ''Boy Wanted'' and ''Nice Work If You Can Get It'' that give ''My One and Only'' its essential warmth.
Mr. Tune - a far more polished performer and a fantastic dancer - could learn from his co-star. If she holds back, he is much too eager to please: from his first entrance, he is making cute faces at us, asking for applause, and while his feet ultimately earn that approbation, his relentless aw-shucks pose is more obsequious than ingratiating. This excessive narcissism contributes to one of the show's failings, which is the lack of any credible sexual or romantic passion to spark the ostensible love story.
The other failing - minimized by the snappy staging, with its distracting parade of white umbrellas and steaming locomotives - is the book by Peter Stone and Timothy S. Mayer. It's a professional but mechanical retelling of the boy-meets-girl-loses-girl-finds-girl plots of the Astaire-Rodgers movies. The jokes, except for a silentfilm parody set in Morocco, are either forced or propped up by fourletter words. The message -celebrity isn't everything - is repeated once too often and presumably holds deeper meaning for the authors than for the audience.
Because the lines and love scenes don't dazzle, it's up to the dancing to push ''My One and Only'' beyond pleasant whimsy and unvarnished camp into excitement. The first jolt of true lightning occurs shortly after intermission, when the dapper and immortal Charles (Honi) Coles, as the hero's fairy godfather, teaches the towering Mr. Tune a lesson about wooing by teaching him how to tap to the title song. An understated exercise in precise terpsichorean pointillism, this show-stopper by two master hoofers is a rare reminder of how less can be more in a big musical.
The grandest prize to follow, ''Kickin' the Clouds Away,'' is an extravagant ensemble piece set at a Harlem chapel, whose quack reverend is played by a bemused Roscoe Lee Browne. Again the mode is tap, but instead of the Busby Berkeley drill one expects, the choreographers create a disjointed, centrifugal whirlwind of movement that sends individual dancers twirling into separate, idiosyncratic variations on the overall 20's pattern. On a Broadway rife with vintage shows, here is one demonstration of how the clouds really can be kicked away - of how valuable old songs can be liberated from musty staging cliches. Though ''My One and Only'' isn't always so fresh or buoyant, it's the only new or old musical of the season that sends us home on air.

A stop-motion animation series.
the original 1984 series ran 25 episodes. The show gained a following, and two years later an additional fifteen episodes were produced.
"Don't you open that Trap Door. You're a fool if you dare!"
There's something down there!
The Trap Door is a hilariously ghoulish and startlingly original clay animation series starring our hero, Berk, and his companions Boni (a moaning skull) and Drutt (a small, strange looking spider). The day-to-day routine of Berk looking after his master ("The Thing upstairs") is constantly interrupted as all manner of things emerge from The Trap Door to make life a little more difficult. Trap Door's hilarious and bizarre humor appeals to kids, students and adults alike.

I am posting this to help my friend. We live in NE Indiana where the temps are hovering around 0 +/- ... it is bitter cold. On Fri. my friend did not have water in her house. She opened cabinets, and put a space heater in the kitchen and baths on the pipes. Still no water. Called a plumber who placed something in her outside pipe that was supposed to help it defrost. It ran overnight ... still no water. Yesterday she called the city utility to check the line from the street ... which they did and they said it was open. Today, still no water! Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? Her house is on a slab. She has never had this problem before. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you look at the slab before walls are covered on a new home you can see what I'm talking about. Water lines do not branch beneath a slab. Where water comes to a facuet,the line loops and go's back under slab then runs to next facuet and does the same. The closest facuet on an outside wall (indoor or outdoor facuet) to the point where water comes to the house from meter is where its froze. Once that facuet is located,it needs to be on as long as somone can monitor it. That area is where heating efforts should be concentrated. Other than having them turned on,don't worry with facuets on inside walls. What did the plumber put "in her outside pipe"? |
The plumber used a "pipe thawer" It goes down into where the main pipe enters the house. It looks like a rod and has a handle on the top ... that goes down to where that junction is ... and then that is plugged into the wall in the garage by the water meter. There is a clamp like what would be on jumper cables on the rod and then another clamp comes into the house and it is clamped on the meter where the pipe comes in from the outside. The city turned the water meter off so there is no water coming into the house right now. The problem appears to be between the main and where it enters the house. Water heater is still on. Appreciate you input |

There were two reasons why I enjoyed watching today's King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. First off, as truly one of the most important races in the world, it was no surprise when the mid-summer classic drew the deepest cast of talent seen so far on the turf this year. The running of the Group 1 Ascot affair did not disappoint either, as two of the stars, Danedream and Nathaniel approached the wire in a heart-pounding, head-bob of a finish. Yes, it was a great race, but what made it even more of a pleasure to watch was the fantastic camera coverage given to us by British television.
Starting with the first shot, giving us a birds-eye view of inside the starting gate as the jockeys readied their mounts for the break of the huge race, it occurs to me how much better the camera work is in this race than what we are accustomed to in America. With the traveling camera staying just in front of the horses, we are afforded a constant and telling look at each horse furlong after furlong. It's really easy to tell how your favorite is traveling from this perspective.
While this moving camera is paramount to the early race coverage, other views, including head-on, side-view, from behind, and even a ground level camera shot, only add to the overall experience of race watching. Then as the race nears the exciting conclusion, a more traditional view from the grandstand takes us home. But it is not just one view from the grandstand, like any well produced sporting event on television, it seems the English know how to pan in and pan out to better capture the unfolding story.
After watching it again, I wonder why we can't do it this well here in the States.

.- This evening, Archbishop of Denver Charles J. Chaput will bless the Gift of Mary Homeless Shelter, operated by Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity.
The Denver charity, in their continuous search to serve the "poorest of the poor" has decided to move the shelter to a poorer neighborhood. Their new home, according to a press release from the archdiocese will be an old school building on the grounds of St. Joseph's Catholic Church.
"The sisters were looking for a poorer area to work," said St. Joseph pastor Rev. Jorge de los Santos. "Until now, they've been in [Capitol Hill]. 'It's not a poor area anymore,' they told me. They found St. Joseph's Parish to be a good place where they could work for the poor, live with the poor, and also help the homeless."
Beginning at 6 p.m. on Monday, January 26, Archbishop Chaput will join the parish community and the Missionary sisters in blessing the new location. The welcoming ceremony will begin with Mass at 6 p.m., followed by a Eucharistic procession from the main church to the shelter's new chapel. In the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, Archbishop Chaput will then offer a prayerful blessing upon the building.
The Gift of Mary Shelter is dedicated to providing housing and spiritual support to homeless women specifically. The shelter is capable of housing a total of eight women, providing them personal living accommodations, food, gathering space and spiritual guidance.
Since the closing of St. Joseph's Catholic school in 1993, the parish has used the building for various religious classes and activities. The Archdiocese of Denver has since donated over $300,000 towards renovation of the building, in preparation for the shelter's needs.

10. Hubble Repair
Gravity opens with space shuttle astronauts repairing the Hubble Space Telescope when disaster strikes, prompting them to flee to the nearby International Space Station. In reality, Hubble and Space Station are 120 miles apart and out of range of the kinds of jetpacks worn by Clooney's character in the movie. Which is why the last real-life Hubble repair mission, in 2009, was initially deemed too dangerous to attempt. Had anything gone wrong, the astronauts would have had no refuge or hope of rescue. The mission went ahead anyway, with astronauts John Grunsfeld, Andrew Feustel, Michael Massimino, and Michael Good performed the repairs and upgrades over five space walks without a hitch.

From the podium
His Excellency Jozo Krizanovic (Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina) (Original language Serbo-Croatian)
It is my pleasure and privilege to address this respected meeting on behalf of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the beginning I avail myself of the opportunity to express gratitude to the Food and Agriculture Organization, its Director-General, Mr Jacques Diouf, and all those who have participated in the organization of this exceptionally important Summit. I would also like to thank the host country, the Republic of Italy, for its contribution. Although today's civilization is making fast progress in many fields, it is a devastating fact that every day almost 24 000 persons around the world die of hunger and causes related to it. Children and women are the most numerous victims of this scourge. This situation, as well as the fact that there are more than 800 million hungry people in the world today, is unacceptable. Bosnia and Herzegovina unreservedly supports the humanitarian idea of the Summit to eradicate this evil and to enable each member of our global community to have a free and dignified life. It is the fundamental right of each of us to provide nutritionally adequate and safe food for our descendants and for ourselves. One of the priorities of today's world is to ensure sufficient food supplies for everyone. The world has its resources, it disposes of modern technologies, but there still is not enough food for everybody. I agree with the judgement that world leaders can and should make crucial efforts in order to eradicate poverty and hunger. As the world has become united in its fight against the contemporary evil, terrorism, it also has to be united in the fight against hunger. Although poverty is its main cause, armed conflicts, terrorism, corruption, pollution, natural disasters, change of climate, which all cause widespread hunger, should not be overlooked. For that reason, urgent action is necessary in order to eliminate these causes, to ensure the political, economic and social basis of sustainable development. Such an environment is the only one that can give priority to the development of democracy and the realization of fundamental human rights. The quantity of food produced today is sufficient to feed the world, but there is still the simultaneous persistence of widespread extreme food deprivation and plentiful food supplies in the world. The activity of the international community must be directed towards giving the undeveloped and the developing countries a chance to have easier access to production and financial resources. In particular, this activity should be directed towards ensuring the free trade of agricultural products, making them available for everybody and under favourable conditions. It should also be directed towards the transfer of technologies, experiences and information that will increase productivity in agriculture. We must not ignore the fact that many need help. We must not allow ourselves to become accomplices in suffering of the innocent by ignoring it. The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina has recently drawn the attention of the whole world. Besides the enormous material damage, the war has also caused suffering of people. During the four years of war - - years without water, food and electricity -- the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, managed to survive, mostly thanks to the support of the international community. The United Nations and its organizations played the key role in providing support for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Today Bosnia and Herzegovina is oriented towards future, the development of democracy, the respect of human rights and the transition to market-oriented economy. Faced with the problem of a large number of refugees and displaced persons that gradually decreases, as well as with the problem of unemployment, it sees in agriculture an exceptional opportunity to solve these problems. The revitalization of rural areas and their resources (land, material and, in particular, human resources) is one of the frameworks of future economic development. Current tasks in the field of agriculture regard further recovery with regard to the development of rural areas attaining a sustainable growth and the development of production, processing and distribution of goods, as well as the competitiveness of agricultural production and food processing. In the pre-war period, Bosnia and Herzegovina provided the largest part of agricultural products by its own production, with its production capacities and resources of raw material. Around 50 percent of the population lived in the rural areas where agriculture is the main activity. Agriculture suffered enormous losses during the war and the estimated direct and indirect damage amounts to US$10 billion. Sufferings of populations, especially in the rural areas, were enormous. The number of inhabitants in those areas is decreasing. Livestock has been decimated, agricultural infrastructure, buildings, machines, fields, forests, vineyards and orchards have been ruined. The fact that from 10 to 15 percent of land has been contaminated by mines (there are still more than one million mines left) represents a serious problem for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The population increases and cultivated land decreases due to the effects of natural and human factors. The process of the post-war reconstruction in this field is slow. Only three percent of the amount of estimated damage has been invested so far. Currently, all available resources are under-utilized. Productivity in agriculture is two times lower than that reached in European countries. Annual production of food satisfies domestic needs only partially and that is why Bosnia and Herzegovina has begun to import seeds and food. Well aware of the importance of its agricultural resources, Bosnia and Herzegovina has been trying to make better use of those resources, respecting the principles of the protection of the environment. Although the progress is being realized slowly, it really is evident. In accordance with its development plans, Bosnia and Herzegovina will continue to encourage the development of agriculture, taking into account its importance for the whole economic development. This regards the creation of the conditions for the development of rural areas, the organized return of population and employment in agriculture, adequate nutrition based on domestic products, investments in infrastructure in rural areas and the creation of favourable conditions of life, as well as the protection of the environment as a precondition for healthy life of today's and future generations. I am sure that, with the support of FAO, international financial institutions, and through bilateral arrangements, Bosnia and Herzegovina can use its domestic resources and join successfully international efforts to solve the food problem in the world. Our commoncommitment and determination can remove the barriers to the trade of agricultural products and food in undeveloped and developing countries. All people should have access to food. The Rome Declaration and the 1996 Action Plan are realistic road signs for further action. I expect that this Summit will be fruitful and that our work will result in the creation of a document that will speed up the process that started six years ago. I wish all the participants of the Summit success in their work, which I am sure will be done in an atmosphere of goodwill and mutual understanding. Let us face more decisively than ever, the enemy of modern mankind. Let us promise each other that we shall persevere in our fight against poverty and hunger, that we shall reach our goal together and enable each human being of this unique planet, the Earth, to have food and life.

Child Support Laws Change as Arrearages Rise
A new law went into effect September 28, 2011 that reduces license suspensions for parents who fall behind on their child support payments. The new law provides that parents who pay at least half of their court-ordered child support will no longer face suspension of their driver's or professional licenses. Another provision will allow parents to have prior suspensions for failing to pay child support removed from their driving record. Under the new law, county child-support enforcement agencies must look [Read the full post. . .]
Changes in Child Support Laws Mean Fewer Suspensions
Last year over 100,000 parents had their driver's license suspended for failure to satisfy their child support obligation. Many advocates suggest that it is an inability to pay not an unwillingness and point to the downturn in Ohio's economy. On Wednesday a new law will go into effect allowing parents who pay at least 1/2 (one half) of their child support obligation to avoid a license suspension. In addition, the law will allow cooperating parents to remove existing license suspensions [Read the full post. . .]

Spamming a Judge Is Contempt of Court
samzenpus posted more than 4 years ago | from the I'll-have-your-spam-I-love-it dept.
280eldavojohn writes "TV pitchman Kevin Trudeau was sentenced to 30 days in jail because he urged his fans and followers to spam a judge. Apparently the judge (who was deluged with emails) decided that this was an act of contempt of court on the court's 'virtual presence' since nothing happened while the court was in session in regards to Trudeau's courtroom behavior. US Marshals are now trudging through those emails to decide if any are threatening."

Carbon fiber has been a cycling industry buzzword for quite some time. This year, however, carbon has been living in the very large shadow of 27. 5-inch wheels. And delivering truth to this is Santa Cruz's full embrace of this new standard. With trail bikes like the 125mm travel 5010 Carbon SPX AM Complete Mountain Bike, Santa Cruz is taking an aggressive stance on mountain biking's most aggressive platform. The SPX AM build dresses Santa Cruz's carbon frame with Shimano XT components, DT Swiss/WTB wheels, and FOX suspension in order to keep the price reasonable without killing the 5010's all-mountain sense of purpose. One of the biggest contributors to this is the rolling stock. Sure, within the gravity/park sect, stiff, nimble, and strong 26in wheels will continue to shine. Likewise, though, when the trail favors high-speed, flowing singletrack the 29er rules supreme. But, any riding between those extremes will see the 27. 5-inch 5010 Carbon's ability to dominate. A quick look at the geometry makes this perfectly clear. The 5010's chainstay length is only a quarter-of-an-inch longer than the Blur TRc, yet it's three-quarters-of-an-inch shorter than the Tallboy LT. Another key number is its bottom bracket height -- the 5010 is . 04-inches higher than the TRc and a quarter-inch lower than the Tallboy LT. This means that aboard the 5010, you'll enjoy that 'seated within' felling of two-niners, while retaining the nimbleness that would otherwise be lost to long wheelbases, high-center of gravity, and flex'y wheels. In fact, the 5010's wheelbase is a full-inch shorter than the Tallboy, and it has a trail-worthy 68 degree head tube angle. That's should be enough numbers to expose the playful, yet composed nature of the 5010. But, just as essential to that balance is Santa Cruz's carbon mastery. The 5010 Carbon uses a one-piece layup and curing process for the triangles, as opposed to assembling joints, which would require bonding, wrapping, or rivets. And, because ...

Active/active vs. active/passive arrays
Storage expert Greg Schulz outlines the pros and cons of active/active and active/passive arrays.
What are the differences between active/active and active/passive arrays? Which technology is better?

By submitting you agree to receive email communications from TechTarget and its partners. Privacy Policy Terms of Use.
Storage arrays (SCSI, Fibre Channel, iSCSI and NAS) with two or dual controllers (or more) can be configured in either an active/active mode or active/passive mode.
Active/passive means that one controller is active to process I/O requests, while the other is idle in standby mode ready to take over I/O activity should the active primary controller fail or be taken offline. An active/active configuration enables both controller nodes to process I/Os, and provide a standby capability for the other.
Generally, an active/active storage system involves a battery backed mirrored cache, in which the contents of a controller's cache is mirrored to another for data integrity and availability. For example, if an active/active controller has a total of 4 gigabytes (GB) of cache (e.g., 2 GB per controller), the usable amount of cache would be 50% or 2 GB due to mirroring.
Typically, a LUN will be accessed primarily via a specific controller to maintain cache coherency in what is known as LUN or cache affinity. Some controllers enable either controller to respond to a server's request for an I/O for a LUN. However, the actual I/O is resolved by a designated controller in what is known as I/O shipping. As to which approach is better, if you can afford to have one controller idle, an active/passive configuration gives predictable performance during a failover. Many NAS vendors use this model, which is often referred to as a NAS cluster. An active/active configuration enables both controllers to be active to boost performance during normal operation. However, during a failover scenario depending on the combined workload, performance could degrade.

I need to get a multipurpose shotgun for trap and skeet with chokes for my older son Looking for one in the 1000 range hopefully less. What would be a recommended shotgun with silver finish with a little bit of fancy designs enough for the budget. Would be great if I may get some ideas from the experts ASAP. Thank you

Stoeger and the academy brand of the citori. If you can find one you can citori is great. Personally if you want an o/u or sxs id go stoeger. If pump id go stoeger, mossberg, remington. Any benelli would work great too. God didnt make all men equal colonel Sam Colt did
You could by a Rem 870, and have a gun smith do a custom job on it. I know it's not anything like some of the fancier over under but 870 express has changable chokes and what not, and tons of different options for the shooter.

Check out the DeHaan line of O/U shotguns. They are a great gun for the money. They are located in Lewiston, Idaho, I believe. Just google them. cottontop
Thanks all for the insights. Now I'm locked into a 30 in barrel benelli or browning maxus and winchester sx3 silver all of them are great. But what would be the best
Browning. cottontop
Im still drooling over the new maxus but you can get a used browning gold series or ruger red label in your price range
