A day in the life of a gluten free kid
My son is almost 8; hard to believe that my little man is growing so fast and forming his own identity at such as a sweet, tender young age. But he is, and part of that identity is being gluten-free. It's a life I know as an adult, but certainly not one I can relate to from a child's eye, and yet, I'm always so impressed with how resilient and… Read more →

Monsanto, GMOS and you. What does it all mean?
One of the biggest challenges today when talking about why the rates of food sensitivities and allergies, immune disorders, chronic illnesses and more have all dramatically increased over the last 20 or so years, is that people have little idea of what they're consuming, and hows it's affecting them. From hormones, chemically created oils, genetically modified/engineered foods, etc., the list… Read more →

AROUND THE WORLD (FOX44) – Lebanon, things could've gotten ugly on live TV, they were curing each other out about the ongoing conflict in Syria. Then one of the guys throws water and they end up going after each other. We don't know what happened after that because the program cut to a commercial.
Pakistan – Ten tons of hashish seized by police and they think it was headed to Germany. Whoever tried to ship it there tried to hide the drugs behind other cargo. Two people have been arrested as part of the investigation.
Iran – Hundreds of students formed a human chain around a Uranium conversion facility to protest a recent U.N. report claiming Iran is making nuclear weapons. Iran says it's just the U.S. creating propaganda.
Poland – Another protest by wildlife activists. They dressed up as orangutans, repelled down the side of a building, and unfurled a banner.
They are trying to call attention to a dangerous decline in the species population.
Canada – The odds for what happens at this farm are one in eight million. Celia the dairy cow gave birth to triplets. "Out of the 50-years, this is the first time we've had triplets. All heifers. You have twins, but triplets are rare." So rare that it's the same odds of you being eating by a shark.

Miley Cyrus And Her Weed….Again!
Miley Cyrus is a "pothead" and apparently she doesn't care who knows it.
At least that was the "party line" at her private 19th birthday bash last week at the Roosevelt Hotel Beacher's Madhouse Club in Los Angeles. In a video obtained exclusively by Flash, when Kelly Osbourne presents a cake to Cyrus emblazoned with the face of a ganja icon, the former "Hannah Montana" star cracks,

313 N. I Street
Tacoma, Washington
By Joe Oestreich
[more from this author]
Drag slider to rate this bar
Sculler's I.P.A. drawn through "The Randall," a bonglike cylinder packed with whole hops
Long considered Seattle's ugly stepsister, Tacoma is now undergoing the nip and tuck of urban redevelopment. Cranes swing over the skyline, and century-old buildings are bandaged with Tyvek -- courtesy of a massive gentrification campaign designed to buff the saltwater stains from this port town. But the Tacoma renewal works because it preserves the best parts of the city's tracks-and-timber origins. To see this success in the form of a bar, head to the Parkway, a neighborhood beer joint tucked among rehabbed Craftsmans and Victorians. A couple years back, two carpenter-regulars pulled down the drop tiles and unveiled a vaulted mahogany ceiling. They installed a working fireplace, cut cherry wood tables, and built a new bar top to replace the worn, white counter. And they did all this after-hours, so the bar never had to close. Not for one day. Everybody brushed the sawdust from their fleece and kept right on sipping cask ale and barleywine. The renovation is now complete, and a bundle of fresh, local hops hangs over the doorway, a testament to the bartenders' encyclopedic knowledge of all things pulled from a tap. Black and white prints from the Northwest Photography Archives are framed on the walls. And on the street out front, cars sport the popular bumper sticker, "Admit it, Tacoma. You're beautiful." After a few hours lifting pint glasses at the Parkway, you'll get it. Tacoma may never be waxed and polished like Seattle, but this salty old broad cleans up well.

Toxic to humans is not the same as toxic to squirrels. Maybe one of your fellow Texans will chime in on how to protect your plants, I have never been able to outsmart squirrels and chipmunks. |
ooww you need a bb or paintball gun or something. Those annoying things. |
Squirrels are the worst! They will not respond to the deterrents that work for deer and birds. In my experience a physical barrier is the only thing that will work, but I have heard of people sprinkling soil with cayenne pepper -- when the squirrels move around the pepper acts like a dust and becomes airborne, getting in their eyes and up their noses. It certainly isn't pleasant but it doesn't harm them permanently. I have been afraid to try it for fear it will hurt my plants too, but it's an option! |

Toxic? Some Agaves are high in sapogens, while others are not. Those that are not have traditionally been roasted and eaten by native Americans for centuries, not to mention used as fodder for mescal and pulque. I've lost many a fine Agave to vermin. Welcome to the club, and sorry for your loss. |
Cayenne should pose no threat to your plants Spapa. As Dzit mentioned, just because something may be toxic to humans does not mean it is toxic to various animals. On a similar yet different note to further illustrate the point -- in order to deter squirrels from ransacking her bird feeders, my sis mixes a liberal quantity of ground cayenne pepper in her bird seed. Result is the squirrels leave it alone but the birds couldn't care less. |
That squirrel must be starving to eat an agave. Try feeding them nuts or seed. They keep putting the seed further away towards your least like friend. And presto, it becomes their problem. No, just kidding. Pepper works just fine. |
I guess more than anything I am surprised at the damage since I've never had them do this before, nor since, thankfully. I've had deer horn the agaves in the front yard, but I figured the irritating sap protected them from other kinds of critter damage. I hope this was a one time event, carried out, as suggested, by a very hungry squirrel whose winter stash had run out although you'd think if the squirrels were hungry they'd munch on aloes, sedums, and such. Those plants were not touched. Anyway I threw them some pecans. Next time I'll throw them in a neighbors yard so they will look over there fof sustenance instead of my place ... :-) Thank you all for your replies! I believe the agaves will survive, but it will take a while to outgrow the damage. Next winter I'll be seasoning the young agaves with cayenne pepper. |
- Posted by GermanStar 9b (My Page) on Wed, Apr 16, 14 at 16:05
Dunno how wet or dry it is at your digs, but here in the desert Agaves are attacked by a variety of vermin not as a source of food, but moisture. It will likely continue to occur until you either dispatch the vermin or remove said plants from the field of play. |
Good thought, but it's not the water in this case. I keep the bird baths full. The squirrels have great fun chasing the birds away from them when they have a chance. But I don't feed the birds so the squirrels don't get the 'benefit' of bird seed to eat in the winter. |

Reviews for Zippy Breaded Pork Chops
Sort By :
"Yummers. Made these before w dijon and mayo blend (50/50) instead of ranch dressing. Sandyho start with raw chops -coat them with all ingredients and bake in oven just like recipe states and browning will occur with baking. No need to use stovetop at all. I turn my oven to 450 degrees last 5 mins or you can also put broiler on for 1-2 mins to brown crispy. Beautifully tender."
"DoEs the breaking get browned on the stovetop first?"
"Lots of flavor! Very moist!"
"So good!!! Another excellent pork chop recipe to add to my Recipe Box!! Love this!"
"After reading other reviews, I left the oven on 425 for 15 mins, then turned up the heat to 450 for an additional 10 mins. It was very easy to make and came out perfectly crispy the first time around."

Have you tuned into Lyric U? Check out our new video library, which starts with an in-depth exploration of the baritone in opera with Sir Andrew Davis, Anthony Freud, and Renée Fleming. Plus, check out some video highlights of the greatest baritone arias on stage this season.
Have you tuned in to Lyric U? It's Lyric's new resource for things opera, giving everyone an easy way to explore, discover, and engage. Whether you're new to the art form and looking for Opera 101 or an aficionado who wants to earn a PhD in Advanced Opera Studies, let Lyric U guide the way with this ever-expanding video library.
One of the new features on Lyric U is "From Soprano to Bass: Exploring Voice in Opera." Sir Andrew Davis, Renée Fleming, and Anthony Freud are your guides through the seven different categories of the human voice in this in-depth video series.
The first video in the series focuses on the baritone. This vocal range might be stuck in the middle of tenor and bass, but the baritone is definitely not a voice that can be easily overlooked. Some of the most famous roles in opera are portrayed by baritones-the ultimate bad boy in Mozart's Don Giovanni, the resourceful fixer Figaro in Rossini's The Barber of Seville, the king of the gods Wotan in Wagner's Ring cycle, and the great title roles in Verdi's Rigoletto, Falstaff, and Simon Boccanegra.
Want to hear more? Below are video samples of some of the great baritone showcases that you can hear as part of Lyric's 2014-15 season.
Il Trovatore - "Il balen del suo sorriso"
In Act 2 "The Gypsy" of Verdi's Il Trovatore, the villainous Count di Luna sings of his devotion to Leonora, who has decided to enter a convent because she believes her true love Manrico is dead. Though di Luna's song speaks to a beautiful love, he is actually plotting to kidnap her - thinking that the convent is the only obstacle to their happiness. Ryan Opera Center alum Quinn Kelsey takes on the role at Lyric from October 27 to November 29.
(Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Metropolitan Opera, 2011)
Porgy and Bess - "I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'"
This quintessential American opera has many timeless songs, including "Summertime" and "Bess, You Is My Woman Now, but one of Porgy's most famous arias is this ode to his simple life. Lyric favorite Eric Owens brings this iconic role to Chicago from November 17 to December 20.
(Lawrence Winters, Columbia Masterworks recording, 1951)
Tosca - Te Deum
Scarpia, the police chief who is ruthlessly hunting the rebel artist Cavaradossi, sings of his lust and terrible plan to force Tosca into loving him, against the backdrop of a prayer. This season, two singers take on this villianous role: Evgeny Nikitin (Lyric debut, January 24 to February 5) and Mark Delavan (February 27 to March 14).
(George Gagnidze, Metropolitan Opera, 2009)
Tannhäuser - "O du mein holder Abendstern" (Song of the Evening Star)
This aria from Act 3 of Tannhäuser is in the pantheon of one of the most beautiful arias ever written, and is one of Wagner's most haunting melodies. Wolfram von Eschenbach loves the faithful and chaste Elisabeth, but she is in love with Tannhäuser; in this aria, he has a premonition of her death. Gerald Finley stars as Wolfram at Lyric from February 9 to March 6.
(Peter Mattei, Staatsoper Berlin, 2014)
Don Giovanni - "Deh vieni all finestra"
While posing as his right-hand man Leporello, Don Giovanni serenades the maid of his former conquest Donna Elvira with this lovely aria from Act Two. Mariusz Kwiecień stars in Lyric's hot-blooded new production through October 29.

Lyric's production of Strauss's Capriccio is opera at its finest, with a wonderful cast led by Renée Fleming, a sophisticated 1920s setting, and unparalleled musicianship from conductor Sir Andrew Davis and the Lyric Opera Orchestra. Read what the critics have to say about this "intelligent, tasteful, funny, serious" opera.
The Chicago Tribune raves four stars for Capriccio: "the operatic stars are in alignment ... in Lyric's loving revival." Lyric's production of Strauss's final masterpiece is truly opera at its finest, with a wonderful cast led by Renée Fleming, a sophisticated 1920s setting, and unparalleled musicianship from conductor Sir Andrew Davis and the Lyric Opera Orchestra. This sophisticated drawing room comedy is at once "intelligent, tasteful, funny, serious" (Andrew Patner, Chicago Sun-Times), but it's only at Lyric through October 28, so grab your seat today!
Here's what else the critics are saying:
"Highly recommended" - Andrew Patner, Chicago Sun-Times
This production makes a "lush argument for shaking hands across waters, for the marriage of words and music." - Aaron Hunt, New City
Renée Fleming is "as witty and charming as she is beautiful" with "peaches-and-creamy tone and melting phrases." - John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
Renée Fleming is "radiant … One can't imagine any singer today better suited to the role of the Countess Madeleine " - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"In the famous final aria, Fleming spins the silver threads of lyricism that Strauss made his unique gift to the soprano repertoire." - Aaron Hunt, New City
Sir Andrew Davis leads "a veritable master class in Strauss conducting." - John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
"Andrew Davis, always a superb Strauss conductor, and the Lyric Orchestra ... have outdone themselves" - Andrew Patner, Chicago Sun-Times
"More than anyone else, this was Sir Andrew Davis's show. Few conductors can equal the Lyric Opera's music director in Strauss, and Davis's fluent, spirited yet light-footed account of this score was masterful, maintaining a fleet, conversational pace and rising seamlessly to the breakout lyrical moments." - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"Fully inside the opera's conversational ebb and flow, Davis elicited exceptionally sensitive, refined playing from the Lyric Orchestra, beginning with the sublime sextet that opens the opera and continuing through the touching final pages." - John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
"Even by their standard, the playing of the Lyric Opera Orchestra was beyond reproach, with a refined quicksilver quality that suits this restless music." - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"Lyric has surrounded its starry soprano with a top-drawer supporting cast" - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"Anne Sofie von Otter brought a natural vocal ease and willowy presence to the glamorous actress Clairon." - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"…the splendid Swedish mezzo-soprano played Clairon with a flamboyant hauteur to match her over-the-top flapper outfits." - John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
"American tenor William Burden captured the self-confidence and musicality as the composer Flamand." - Andrew Patner, Chicago Sun-Times
"Audun Iversen made a most impressive company debut as Olivier. The Norwegian baritone displayed a warm and flexible voice and deftly balanced the comedy with sincerity" - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"Peter Rose was ideal casting for the cynical yet savvy impresario La Roche" - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
Bo Skovhus "provided the funniest moments of the evening with the gauche dilettante's atrocious acting." - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
10/7/2014 06:57 pm
Lyric's Diamond Anniversary season has started off in style. Critics are raving about the new production of Mozart's Don Giovanni from renowned director Robert Falls of the Goodman Theatre, with Lyric's music director Sir Andrew Davis on the podium. Seductive and stunning, this is the can't-miss event of the fall season. Here are just a few reasons why.
"Falls' bold, provocative, hot-blooded new production of 'Don Giovanni' opened Lyric's 60th anniversary season Saturday night at the Civic Opera House, and it had the audience cheering for numerous reasons. … This 'Don Giovanni' is as nourishing to the eye as it is to the ear and mind." - John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
"Director Robert Falls' fresh, boldly conceived staging infused new life into Mozart's dramma giocoso. " - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"Falls's fast-moving staging has an eye for the opera's comedy and even more for its sexuality." - George Loomis, Financial Times
"Bob Falls has found a way to connect in a fresh way with a work we know and a work we love." - Andrew Patner, WFMT
"The production of Giovanni, which just opened at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, is a glorious triumph for Falls, and a spectacular opening to the Lyric's 60th season. Falls re-imagination of Don Giovanni has it all—passion, sex, heartbreak, murder, jealousy, and revenge. " - Betty Mohr, Le Bon Travel and Culture
"[Lyric's] cast and crew throw themselves into Falls' approach, and what results is an impressive theatrical and musically intensive brew that will have you laughing one minute while gasping with indignation the next." - Scott C. Morgan, Daily Herald
"Moving the story of Don Juan from its seventeenth century origins to circa 1920s Spain proves to be a great decision by Falls. It manages to strip the production of stuffy periodicity while placing it into a time more familiar to the contemporary audience yet distant enough that the story's messy morality seems plausible." - Brian Hieggelke, New City
"This new production proves that modern practice can combine with classic opera to create art of the highest order. This 'Don Giovanni' should not be missed." - M.L. Rantala, Hyde Park Herald
"Run, do not walk, to the Civic Opera House and catch this show." - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"A more appealing cast could hardly have been assembled for Mozart's 'Don Giovanni' than the vocally resplendent, good-looking singers who inhabit the Lyric Opera of Chicago's new production and season opener." - Lawrence B. Johnson, Chicago on the Aisle
"Polish baritone Mariusz Kwiecień is one of the world's best Don Giovannis, a trim, handsome bundle of raging testosterone. " - Wynne Delacoma, Chicago Sun-Times
"The Polish baritone wielded his robust, burnished baritone with such elegant style and tonal beauty, it was easy to understand why all the women of Europe are dropping at his feet." - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"Puerto Rican soprano Ana María Martínez is wonderfully fiery with a dusky sound as the revenge-bent Donna Elvira (she also clearly relishes her 'modern woman' role reconceptualization—even arriving via motorcycle)." - Scott C. Morgan, Daily Herald
"It's a tribute to Kyle Ketelsen that he held his own with Kwiecień's Don, more than is usually the case. The bass-baritone delivered a nimble and witty Catalog Aria and firmly brought out the servant's seething resentment as well as the men's camaraderie with a natural conversational quality to their rapid-fire exchanges." - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"I found [Marina Rebeka's] Donna Anna superb: The sound was creamy, voluminous and steady as a laser, with plenty of fiery temperament to match the dramatic thrust of her singing." - John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
Andriana Chuchman "brought a charming yet vixenish quality to the good-girl flirt and sang her two arias with notably youthful spirit." - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"...bass-baritone Michael Sumuel deftly captured Masetto's mix of jealous male and vulnerable lover." - Wynne Delacoma, Chicago Sun-Times
Antonio Poli's "ardent, tender arias shaped Don Ottavio, often a bland cipher, into the opera's sole voice of reason." - Wynne Delacoma, Chicago Sun-Times
"Andrea Silvestrelli's Commendatore was towering in height and sonorous of voice" - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"Lyric music director Sir Andrew Davis conducted the Lyric Orchestra with plenty of panache, bringing out the light and dark colors of Mozart's timeless score with buoyant style." - Scott C. Morgan, Daily Herald
"...conductor Andrew Davis' eloquent and expressive musical direction was greatly to be savored, as was a precise and buoyant performance by the Lyric Opera Orchestra. Add to that the exuberant yet disciplined singing by the Lyric Chorus and the last element was in place for a musically rewarding night." - Lawrence B. Johnson, Chicago on the Aisle
"…music director Andrew Davis drew lithe, elegant, stylish playing from his fine orchestra that felt all of a piece with the Don's high-stakes games of seduction." - John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
"the magnificence of the production should also be credited to Sir Andrew Davis, who at the helm of Lyric's exceptional orchestra, gives his all to Mozart's delicious score; [and] to Michael Black who brings out the best in Lyric's chorus..." - Betty Mohr, Le Bon Travel and Culture
"Walt Spangler's sets and Ana Kuzmanic's costumes persuasively and colourfully suggest urban Seville, including a handsome townhouse for the Commendatore, seen from the street, and a church interior dominated by a statue of Mary for the Sextet scene of Act 2." - George Loomis, Financial Times
"Not only are the sets something to behold, but so too are the ravishing costumes by Ana Kuzmanic that evoke the carefree flamboyance of the Jazz Age." - Betty Mohr, Le Bon Travel and Culture
"The contributions of frequent Falls collaborators Ana Kuzmanic (costume design) and Walt Spangler (sets) deserve equal billing with the performers. The production lives in black and white and gray, but splashes of color – blood, flowers – transcend decoration and become metaphor for the proximity of sensuality and death herein." - Brian Hieggelke,New City
"Between designer Walt Spangler's fetching Spanish sets and Ana Kuzmanic's stylish 1920s costumes (a temporal relocation that Mozart surely would have adored), this 'Don Giovanni' has an integrated look and feel that not only works but also allows for doses of broad, updated humor." - Lawrence B. Johnson, Chicago on the Aisle
"Walt Spangler's scenic design is consistently imaginative, centered on a traditional balconied facade of a Spanish house as unit set with striking splashes of flowers and color." - Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
"…in the ball scene, [Ana Kuzmanic's] lavishly stylized, brocade and velvet costumes for Donna Elvira, Donna Anna (Marina Rebeka) and Don Ottavio (Antonio Poli) clearly delineated the chasm between the aristocrats and the common folk, an important point for Mozart and his librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte. " - Wynne Delacoma, Chicago Sun-Times
"While everything about the opera soars, the climactic scene (which I won't spoil), in which Giovanni is sent to hell, is jaw-dropping stunning. This is the best Don Giovanni I have ever seen. Opera lovers will be talking about it for a long time." - Betty Mohr, Le Bon Travel and Culture
"There is a juicily melodramatic death scene for the Don whose surprising details I will not spoil by revealing." - John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune

Lyric's eminent music director, Sir Andrew Davis, is back in Chicago preparing for our spectacular season-opening production of Don Giovanni. But where has he been all summer? Learn about his incredibly busy summer of globetrotting.
Lyric's eminent music director, Sir Andrew Davis, is back in Chicago preparing for our spectacular season-opening production of Don Giovanni. He's been in town since late August to start preparations for Giovanni and to lead the annual Stars of Lyric Opera at Millennium Park on September 6. He ended last season with an acclaimed production of Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito on March 23—but where has he been in between Mozart operas? Perhaps it's better to ask, "Where hasn't he been?"
In the span of a few short months, he's traveled from Chicago to Boston to London to New York to Toronto to Leipzig to Bergen to Manchester to Berlin back to Bergen to Melbourne back to Chicago back to London back to Melbourne to Edinburgh back to London back to Edinburgh to Amsterdam to Ulrichshusen to Copenhagen to Chicago! 3 continents, 14 cities, 34 performances, 2 recordings—all in 59 days…with a few precious moments in the middle for vacation.
Here are just three concert highlights from his incredible summer.
On July 18, Sir Andrew had the distinct honor of conducting the First Night of the BBC Proms. Davis was a familiar face on the podium in the 1990s as the former chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, so this season marked a triumphant return. The Proms are the largest classical music festival in the world, and the evening was a showcase for Sir Andrew and the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and the National Chorus of Wales. They performed Elgar's biblical oratorio The Kingdom with soloists Erin Wall (a Ryan Opera Center alumna!), Catherine Wyn-Rogers, Andrew Staples, and Christopher Purves
This was only the second time that this piece had been performed at the BBC Proms in its entirety (the first time also had Sir Andrew on the podium), and the result was magnificent. Here is just some of the praise from critics:
"Once again balancing sumptuousness and transparency, he drew vivid playing from the orchestra, from the silvery violins down to the lowest depths of the Albert Hall organ, which was sometimes a big beast but often quiet enough merely to disturb the sweltering air in the hall." - Erica Jeal, The Guardian
"Andrew Davis made sure Elgar's amazingly colourful orchestration was touched in with a delicate chiaroscuro…. It would be easy to indulge the swirling harps and slithering chromatic basses, but by keeping the whole thing on a tight rein Davis ensured the integrity of the whole was preserved." Ivan Hewitt, The Telegraph
In addition to his role here at Lyric, Sir Andrew is also Chief Conductor of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, a position he took on in 2013. This summer, he conducted a number of concerts in Melbourne, but he also lead the orchestra on an incredible European tour. Stops included the Edinburgh International Festival, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival at Ulrichshusen in Germany, and the Tivoli Concert Hall in Copenhagen. Here's a short preview of their appearance from the Edinburgh Festival:
In addition to these prestigious festivals, the tour opened with the orchestra's BBC Proms debut on August 19 at Royal Albert Hall in London. As John Allison pointed out in his interview with Sir Andrew in The Telegraph, "No orchestra making its Proms debut could wish for a better guide to that institution's rituals than Sir Andrew Davis, one of the most familiar faces in recent Proms history and a particular favourite of Last Night audiences."
Read more about this tour at MSO's Backstage Blog from reporter Michael Shmith.
As if the BBC Proms and a triumphant tour weren't enough, Sir Andrew found time to pop over to Germany to lead another great Elgar composition, The Dream of Gerontius, at the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin on June 1. Joining them were the combined choruses of the Rundfunkchor Berlin and RIAS Kammerchor and featured soloists Sarah Connolly, Brindley Sherratt, and Jeffrey Lloyd-Roberts.
The piece, which describes a dying man of faith reflecting on his life, is widely considered Elgar's greatest choral work-one that cemented his reputation as a great composer—and is a great favorite of Sir Andrew's. This performance in Berlin was part of what could be called a "summer of Elgar" for Sir Andrew. He also performed The Dream of Gerontius with the the BBC Symphony Orchestra, with whom he also performed The Kingdom (at the Proms) and The Apostles, thus performing all three of Elgar's oratorios in the span of just a few months!
In addition to these highlights, Sir Andrew led concerts with the New York Philharmonic, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Bergen Philharmonic, and found time for recording sessions with the BBC Philharmonic and Bergen Philharmonic. Plus, he even managed to come back to Chicago for the working sessions for Bel Canto, the world premiere opera that is part of Lyric's 2015-16 season.

For publishers and business strategists, the Web is about nothing less than financial survival. Donald Graham, the Post 's CEO, was an early Web enthusiast, taking losses of more than $100 million a year in Web operations during the late 1990s in order to build up the Post 's Internet capacity. "Anyone looking for quarterly returns should not invest in Washington Post stock," Graham says. The paper's much-admired Web journalism turns a healthy profit now. Online revenue at the Post was $72.7 million, in the first nine months of 2006, up 31 percent. The Post Company's $1.1 billion Kaplan test-prep and tutoring company is increasingly an online product, too. Caroline Little, ceo of Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive, says online income has vast potential. "The ratio of the huge amount of time people spend using the net to the relatively low ad revenue realized from the net is way out of whack," she explains. Internet ad income should grow rapidly at the expense of both print ads and TV ads. "The question," Little adds, "is how can we contribute enough to the bottom line to keep the core journalism alive?"
The Internet now accounts for about 5 to 6 percent of newspaper advertising income. With Web income soaring and print revenue basically flat, analysts expect the lines to cross within fifteen years. By about 2020, if current trends persist, half of a newspaper's income and most of its readership will be via the Internet.
Despite the seeming anachronism of paper in a digital age, however, the economics of the business require newspapers to persist as partly print media for at least another generation. Some Americans still want to pick up a daily paper rather than read content on a screen. And as a business proposition, the average monetary value of a visitor to a newspaper's Web site is only 20 to 30 percent of a newspaper's print reader; Web ads command lower rates because of the greater competition among Web sites. So even if a newspaper shut down its print operation, published only on the Internet, and somehow managed to keep its entire circulation, the revenue loss would exceed the cost savings.
A key to the transition to a hybrid world is investment. The New York Times is currently spending several million dollars a year on a new R&D unit, Web staff, and new products. Depending on how you count, the Times has over 100 people in the newsroom whose duties are more Web than print, including producers, software developers, and reporters and editors. (Full disclosure: For the past twenty-two years, The Boston Globe, now owned by the Times, has published my weekly op-ed column.) The Times is rolling out a nifty digital device called Times Reader, developed in partnership with Microsoft. (For the next few months you can try out the beta version yourself, free, at nytimes.com.)
With Times Reader, the on-screen page offers stories in the same fonts, look, and print-like appearance of the familiar print Times, but allows a variety of search, page-flip, and rearrange options. For instance, you can click on a word or phrase and get a little clickable chart of all the stories in the paper that touch on that topic. It's easier to read than a standard Web page, and even more ingeniously searchable. Times strategists imagine a reader at the breakfast table or on a plane curling up with Times Reader as with the print newspaper, and not promiscuously surfing around the Web. Can't competitors just imitate it? "We certainly hope so," says Michael Zimbalist, the one-time Disney "imagineer" hired in late 2005 to head R&D at the Times: "The more this kind of platform is widely used, the better we'll do." If it becomes a common way of reading a newspaper, he explains, the Times has a head start.

Save the Methacton T1 Program
We need your help to save the Methacton T1 Program! Due to district budget constraints, the Transitional First program is being considered for reduction or elimination starting Fall 2010. The Transitional First Grade (T1) program is a class for children who are developmentally young and who will benefit from an extra year before they are ready for the demands of a regular First Grade program.
It is too late in the year for the district to make this decision!!! This decision would not be in the best interest of the students. We are urging the board that if this decision is to be made it must be done in a 2 year phase out plan. Parents need to be given time to make appropriate educational decisions for their children.
Reducing/eliminating the T1 program would have a negative impact on the education of our students. Do we force them into 1st grade knowing they are not ready? If the students who need T1 are not given the opportunity, is the district prepared to provide additional assistance in future years? What will happen to our PSSA scores? Do we bus our youngest students all over the district? Does this create overcrowding of our 1st grade classes?
We urge all Methacton parents to support our T1 program and be advocates for our youngest students. The signatures collected through this petition will be presented to the School Board.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Gaucho Day Trip from Buenos Aires: Santa Susana Ranch. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
This was a nice break from Buenos Aires. Our guide, Natalia was very informative and made sure we had a nice time.
The gaucho day trip was excellent!! From the horseback riding, to the food, to the shows- I highly recommend this trip!!!!
Awesome, awesome, awesome. This was a great experience; from the drive from Buenos Aires to the actual stay there. Rode a horse, enjoyed some shows, and ate a great meal. Plus, I met some really cool people while here also. A very memorable Argentina experience that I will always remember.
Gaucho show was wonderful, and the horseback riding, the folklore dancing, the empanadas! Everything was great, plenty of food, you did not leave hungry! The museum was very interesting too! Cirilo was very friendly and took me on horseback galloping! I highly recommend this Estancia.
Unfortunately the local tour company wouldn't come to Palermo to pick us up so we braved the early morning rush hour in BsAs to get to the appointed meeting place, which was also the place where other tour companies picked up their people. Our driver when he came called our names out and off we went to the Sheraton to transfer to a bigger bus. Our guide for the day, Ignacio (Nacho!) was very accommodating and spoke good English which he did often explaining things as we drove out to the ranch.
The ranch staff met us with the most amazing empanadas we had on our whole three weeks in Argentina, and then we could either go on horseback or on a (VERY SHORT) carriage ride. After about an hour walking in the grounds and looking at the museum we had lunch. Boy did we have lunch.
The only thing about lunch was that you had to sit where you were told. I hate that. But luckily we got beside a very lively family from Venezuela and a somewhat less exciting bunch of 3 airline crew on their day off (EK, I think!) LUNCH WAS GREAT!! The food was excellent, service straight from the grill by the gauchos was prompt, plenty for everyone. The entertainment was good too, but the best bit was when the guitarists started playing tunes familiar to each country and the various country groups got up and danced as they heard "their tune"....After lunch there was a horseriding show by the gauchos, and Cecillo (?) - most important gaucho on the ranch, so we were told - stole the show lots of times with his prowess!!
All in all, it was a SERIOUSLY FUN day out. Go with the flow.
excellent service, food and entertainment
Gerald and Mary
Great day spent horseback riding, eating and drinking, watching the gauchos perform and tango dancers.
An unforgettable experience!
The staff was extremely courteous and worked very hard to give an amazing experience. I had a great experience on the ranch and loved learning about the gaucho history and culture in a fun, safe atmosphere.
Fun, fun, fun! Oh, and great food :)
Excellent tour... the people in the ranch make you feel at home from the get-go, they receive you with some delicious empanadas. Decent amount of leisure time to either ride the horses or the horsecart before lunch time with a delicious grilled meat variety and then, they have some representative music of the Argentinian culture to end with some countrymen showing their horseriding skills.
My husband, daughter and I really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide, Ignacio, was very professional and personable. The bus ride was relaxing and we enjoyed tasting mate and learning about the customs of the guachos. The ranch staff was very hospitable greeting us with vino and empanadas. The museum was interesting ,the entertainment was enjoyable, the food was delicious. The gauchos seemed to enjoy their jobs, doing everything from serving the food to putting on a great show with their horses..I highly recommend this tour as a way to get out of the city and see a bit of the countryside.
This was the whole deal....horses, history, gauchos, food and entertainment. We had a wonderful day and enjoyed it all. Thank you for making these side trips so easy - we will look for your tours again in the future.
I really enjoyed the whole experience. The lunch was excellent, the beef tender and juicy. The dances were entertaining and above all, I loved the solo Gaucho dancer. He was exceptional! The horses and the gauchos on horseback were lovely to watch. I would recommend this daytrip to anyone going to Buenos Aires!

The hummingbirds in our garden LOVE the Salvia greggii Navajo Red. It grows like a small shrub here and is also evergreen for me. I know it may be short-lived, but for now, it's a great favorite in our garden.
We lost one male recently. My husband found his tiny body in a spider web. Don't know if he got caught, or if he was wounded and ended up on the ground...there has been a hawk around lately. The red snapdragons are starting to bloom just below the salvia. There are 5 salvias on a slope beside our willow. The hummers sit in the willow to preen and look over the garden. Our agastache is now starting to bloom. We have a lot of varieties. Cameron |

Beautiful pictures Cameron. Not much is blooming here yet except crossvine, coral honeysuckle bleeding hearts and native columbine but I did add some new purchases that were already in bloom including some greggiis which I need to add mor of. Haven't grown Navaho Red yet but it is on my list of greggiis to include. Penny |

I havent had Navaho red either but I have several other greggii and agastache. My agas are just now getting buds. I also have some of greggii stampede seriers that a hummer was checking out today, plus dianthera, and david verity. Good to see some going to flowrs and not just feeders. |

Cameron, You have the most amazing plants! I am so inspired by your blog. I visit it all the time. I have gotten so many good ideas from you. Thanks! |
I saw that one at Home Depot a while back. Guess I should have tried it but I already have a lot of salvias. Are the flowers bigger than the usual greggiis? |
- Posted by wonbyherwits z7 NC (My Page) on Tue, Jul 1, 08 at 14:18
I'm glad you are enjoying my blog. It started as a way to keep my son, who was in London in grad school at the time, up to date on what was happening in the garden. I really enjoy sharing the information with other gardeners, so I've kept it going. The flowers are small, but very abundant. Another flush of blooms is starting up now. We finally got a good rain here. The soil was so bone dry, that it's a miracle that my garden is still alive! The salivas hold up well in drought. Those were planted in spring 2007 and we had the worst drought in history here in North Carolina. Cameron |

Research into the social sciences suggests that people interact with each other in two separate modes. One mode is governed by primarily social influences and the other by basic market forces. Which one we choose in any given interaction has a profound impact on the way we interact with each other. Perhaps nowhere in the gaming world are these forces played out as strongly as in EVE Online, with its lack of economic regulation and tight-knit social structures. EVE players routinely form social relationships with other pilots, their corporation leaders and corpmates. On the flip-side, we interact with hundreds of players we don't know using more selfish market-driven rules as we trade, haggle over prices or even just buy something from the market. But how do these two types of player-to-player interaction coexist in the same universe and what problems can arise when they collide?
In this complex and in-depth article, I examine the relationships we form with other players, why they're important and what can happen when we inadvertently cross the line from an implied social contract to a market-based business one.
Social domination:
As is typical with MMOs, EVE players form short and long term friendships with other players. These relationships are characterised as social because they bear the same hallmarks as real-life social relationships. We would do a corp-mate a favour like logging into a market alt to check the price of something or help them with a particularly hard mission. We gladly spend a great deal of time helping out the players we connect with, offering advice on ship fittings, writing guides and helping people out with gifts. The value of our time or the rewards we'll reap aren't even considered. Instead our primary considerations are reputation-based, such as how others think of us and how we think of ourselves.
The social contract is implied and unwritten but universally understood. We do our friends a favour because we expect they would do us a favour in the future. Eventual reciprocity is expected, but we don't care exactly when the favour will be repayed or who it comes from and we certainly don't keep track of who owes a favour to whom. In this social world, we forgo personal wealth and profitability in exchange for getting along well with other players. Regardless of how much ISK you can make running level 4 missions solo, you're never too busy to help out a friend doing level 3 missions or invite them to join you for a bit of a boost. If it's not too inconvenient, you'd probably haul items to a trade hub for a friend or buy something for them and haul it to your home base. They'd trust you with their cargo or ISK and you wouldn't expect monetary compensation for your time.
The importance of social relationships:
Maintaining social relationships with other people is the cornerstone of much of EVE's emergent gameplay. While there's a lot you can do solo, it's what you can accomplish with other people that forms EVE's true endgame content. From territorial warfare or running a corporation to wormhole expeditions and PvP gangs, a lot hinges on having other people to play with. The types of relationships pilots maintain with each other are extremely important. Social obligation and implied reciprocity are potent motivators, having an even stronger influence than a reasonable monetary reward. In New Eden, it's the groups of pilots with strong social bonds that really make things happen.
Working together is a key part of a PvP pilot's social contract with his comrades. They'll have each other's backs and typically produce far better results than individual mercenaries or other hired help. Similarly, mission-running corps and wormhole expeditions both rely on co-operation. This is particularly true of wormhole expeditions, where living in a starbase necessitates that each pilot be trusted with access to the communal ship hangers. Corp-mates rely on each other out there in Sleeper space and strong social ties are essential.
Read on to page 2, where I look at market-based business relationships and how introducing market forces into a social relationship can ruin things.

Today is my day off work. After running some errands, the super handsome Devon Sawa popped by my place earlier for lunch. It was so nice meeting him in real life — he drove so far just to see me. Many of you will recognize him for his work in Nikita, Final Destination, Eminem's Stam video, Casper, etc etc etc. I had a hard time explaining to my Swedish beau the importance of who he is so I told him, in summary, well, he's the Justin Beiber of my generation minus the singing. How do you explain Teen Beat, Tiger Beat, Bop etc. to a non-American? LOL! Anyhoo – it's fascinating how we are complete opposites in so many ways but then I discovered we have so many things in common. He's an awesome guy!
i remember having his pics all over my notebooks and even textbooks..love him..to die for..:-)
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I had the biggest crush on Devon as a teen… I shamelessly collected his posters from Bop, Tiger Beat, and all those magazines. Glad to see him still doing his damn thing. Love that you got to meet him! Can't wait to see you on Top Model! Congrats!
theredtrousers.com -
Oh fuck, it'd him. It's really Devon. Omg. He is like… the hottest actor I have ever seen on screen. Out of breath. You MET HIM? That is so fab. Congrats! He is like…… love him.
I have no doubt he has goldn pubes
OMG! I LOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEE him back in Casper, then Final Destin. He still got that spunk! I'd DIE if I were in front of him.
Devon Sawa! I was just watching Casper with my daughter last night. Awesomeness!
Devon Sawa *sigh* My cousin and I always had the biggest arguments as to who si cuter, Devon Sawa or Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Devon for the win!! :))
Uh, did you forget – JTT aka Jonathan Taylor Thomas was the Justin Bieber of the 90′s. You are a 90′s kid/teen right?! x :)

From out of a myst of confusing kanji has come the announcement of the Square Enix Party 2005, a glitzy event for would-be fans to come play Square Enix's new batch of titles.
Taking place over the 30th and 31st of July, the event promises to allow gamers the chance to play new games such as Final Fantasy XII, FF7: Dirge of Cerberus, Code Age Commanders, Kingdom Hearts 2, and even the Square-run Everquest 2, sporting a new engine for the japanese audience.
The bad news is it's in Japan, but if you're in the neighbourhood other interesting new titles are Brave Fencer Musashi 2: Episode Zero, Front Mission Online, and Full Metal Alchemist 3, as well as what our translator describes as "mobile contents," and the possibility to buy various Square related swag. Possibly the most interesting part of the gathering is that the FF7 film, Advent Children, will be present at the "Mega Theatre." From what we could gather, it's going to be more than a trailer, as the promotion claims it to be an "up to date image" - no word yet on what this means, but it doesn't sound like your run-of-the-mill trailer.
By the looks of it, it's not just a press event, so Japanese fans will get a chance to dive in head first this July. Details on admission are as yet unavailable.

A Balcony is a platform that projects from the wall of the building and is surrounded by a railing. It is usually attached and accessed from the Bedroom. It is meant for relaxing. It may or may not have a roof.
Here, I have explained the Vastu Guidelines for a Balcony. Since Vastu is a science, every guideline is based on sound logic and reasoning. As an Architect, I have attempted to explain these guidelines rationally and scientifically, so that you can decide what you want to follow and what you don't.
Balconies should be in the East or North part of the house: They should not be to the South or the West sides of the main building. The Scientific Reason - A Balcony is a good place to sit out and sun-bathe. So, the ideal position for this will be in the North, where there is constant sunlight and the East where there is morning Sunlight.The West and South sides are too hot to sit and hence should be avoided.
Heavy furniture and seating should be placed only in the South-West part of the Balcony: The Scientific Reason – The North and East parts of the Balcony should not be obstructed by heavy furniture, so that the sunlight can stream in and light up the whole place and the room that is attached to the balcony.
A swing should be placed in the East-West axis: The Scientific Reason - This way, the person sitting on the swing, faces either North or South and thus the sun will not hit him in the face directly.
Small plants can be placed in the North-East of the Balcony: The Scientific Reason - Plants need sunlight to thrive and so should be placed in the North-East, where there is constant, morning sunlight. However if they grow too tall or grow up a pillar, they will obstruct the light into the Balcony and so should be kept short.
Keep only small flower pots in the Balcony: Flower pots with Creepers should not be kept in the Balcony. The Logic - Big flower pots and pots with overflowing creepers tend to obstruct light into the Balcony.
Height of the Balcony roof should be less than the roof of the main building: The Logic - A Balcony is a small space and will look proportional only if the roof is a bit lower than the rest of the building.
Avoid using asbestos or tin roof for a Balcony: The Logic - A tin or asbestos roof absorbs and traps heat within a space, making it uncomfortably hot for the users.

Hi,I'm taking time to write you a comment. I hope you don't mind I've bookmarked your page, your article is genuinely usefull for me.
Thank You Kim for taking the time to write in your appreciation. Please share with friends so that this site could reach a wider audience.
Hello..recently i purchased a 1 bhk flat. The plot is rectengal shape and its all about vastu sastra. but i read that balcany in south is not prefrable. in my flat i have 3 balcany and all are at south facing. so i need solution for that. i allready purchased it so plz give me best solution according to u.
Dear Hetal Shah,
You can never get an apartment or house in a city which is 100% compliant with vastu. That is the reason why, I an architect, has explained Vastu scientifically. South side gets heated up and so balconies here will be uncomfortable, especially in the afternoons. Also the doors to the balconies will admit the hot air into the rooms. So to solve the problem, use the balconies only in the mornings. Have some plants and shrubs that could act like a buffer to the heat in the balconies.
Hi.. I am planning to purchase 2bhk flat at hyderabad. All are according to Vaastu and I strongly believe in vaastu saashtra. Here, Balcony they have given in the North-West corner of the building. Many people told that, Balcony should not be in N-W corner of the building.
Request you to kindly suggest on this? whether shall I go for this flat or not?
Hi Shyam,
A NW balcony is not usable after about 2pm till dusk because the Sun is in this corner at that time. But in the mornings, it is a nice place to relax. So do not reject a flat just because people tell you that a balcony in the North-West is unacceptable.
i have space in the southern direction,i want to construct a fabrication structure like a balcony,please suggest,rectification
Hi Ayyappan,
I assume you want to add a fabricated balcony on the Southern side of your building. There is no harm provided you can use the balcony. It will be hot to sit there after about 10 am and will remain so till about 4 pm.
I have recently purchased 2bhk flat keeping just one thing in mind that all the rooms of the flat gets early morning sun rays.
Following are the details, please let me know is this healthy & positive Flat
1) My living room, kids room and master bedroom all has Ceiling to floor length Windows.
2) The balcony attached with bedroom is open towards East.(South is completely blocked with wall)
3) The kitchen is an an open kitchen( east open) in the northwest direction of the flat.
4) The main entrance is in North Corner of the west wall
5) Master bedroom is in south part of the flat with eastern side having ceiling to floor window.
6) The Main apartment is EAST facing apartment.with road running parallel on east side.
Plenty of sunlight in the morning.In fact the house is quite well lighted throughout the day.
Please help me!!!
I am lil confused with so many articles on vastu.I need a peaceful life for my family.
your words can give me peace of mind.
Hi Priti,
Why go through so many articles and get confused? You have done the right thing – going by your instinct in buying your house. The fact that it is filled with light especially morning sunlight, is it's biggest advantage and so it is perfectly in tune with Vastu guidelines.
Hi am going to purchase a 3 bed room East facing flat. The flat has a balcony at North west corner. It's small and square in shape. Is it ok to have balcony here?
We have noticed that the hall of flat is huge with main door in the east side North corner. Now we want to have a balcony their without disturbing the main door. WILL IT BE FINE WITH VASTU
Hi Arun Kumar,
According to Vastu, a balcony is the NE is ideal as you can sit there in the mornings and get exposed to the early morning sunlight and in the afternoons when it is quite hot, you are protected. A NW balcony is also good but it can be quite hot in the afternoons.

Noise Dosimetry Made Simple
Patty Niquette
Awareness of the dangers of overexposure to loud sound is increasing, but most people don't know how long they can listen to loud sound without risking hearing damage. Assessment of risk from noise exposure is complicated by the fact that many people are exposed to sound levels that vary considerably over time. Sound level meters are useful, but have limited predictive value because they measure sound only at one particular point in time. Noise dosimeters measure and integrate sound over many hours, and provide a more accurate measure of the noise dose experienced by the listener. Traditional noise dosimeters are costly and complicated. The ER-200 Personal Noise Dosimeter is inexpensive and easy-to-use: LEDs on the device display noise dose to alert users to the risk of over-exposure and the need for hearing protection. The ER-200D version includes PC-Interface software so data can be downloaded, saved and printed. This session will cover the basic concepts of noise dose, operation of the ER-200 consumer device and the ER-200D (data logging) device.

She also served as director of two University of Arizona programs designed to recruit American Indian and Alaska Native students into health and research professions.
Dr. Roubideaux received her medical degree from Harvard Medical School in 1989 and completed a residency program in primary care internal medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston in 1992. She completed her Master of Public Health degree at the Harvard School of Public Health in 1997.
