Hi, we are fairly new in camping and love it. We have one of those "plastic" tent (typically sold in K-Mart or Big W etc) and are quite happy with the size, features, weight etc. We were told that putting extra tarp above the tent reduces the coldness during colder seasons' nights (or heat during hotter seasons' days).
The question is that how do you all do that? During the last trip it didn't work because the wind happened to be very strong. We tied the tarp over a tree plus poles (the tarp is above the tent, not touching it), but had to take it down sometime that night.
Any suggestions?
How about using shade cloth instead? Would it help reducing the amount of water hitting the tent if it rains? Would shade cloth "trap" less wind as compared to tarp so less prone to being blown away etc?
We are not sure if we'd like canvas tent which does look sturdy, apparently handles the weather better, but it's usually quite heavy, if wet will take more care to dry up etc etc (also much more expensive).

The Mystery of North Korea
If you are curious to know what life is like in the darkest country in the world, try a mystery to ease into enlightenment.
Inspector O, detective for the Ministry of People's Security, is given orders to hide on a hillside at dawn and take a picture of a certain black Mercedes coming up a deserted highway from the south in A Corpse in the Koryo. Simple enough, except that nothing is as straightforward as it appears. Called on the carpet for botching the assignment when the poorly made camera fails, O discovers that he is a pawn among competing political factions. North Korea's leaders are desperate to hunt down and eliminate anyone who knows too much about a series of decades-old kidnappings and murders---and Inspector O discovers too late he has been sent into the chaos of betrayal. A Corpse in the Koryo was named one of the best books of 2006. James Church is a pseudonym for a western intelligence officer with decades of experience in Asia, and he clearly knows well the people of whom he writes. And his writing is very well crafted. First in a series, A Corpse in the Koryo is followed by Hidden Moon, Bamboo and Blood, and The Man with the Baltic Stare.
Barbara Demick opens her book Nothing to Envy with an image of the complete darkness of North Korea, the result of a barely functioning power grid, starving, just as the people have been starved by a totalitarian regime. Nothing to Envy is an oral history following the lives of six North Koreans over fifteen years, a chaotic period that saw the rise to power of Kim Jong-il, succeeding his dictator father, Kim Il-sung, and the devastation of a famine that killed one-fifth of the population, illustrating what it means to live under the most repressive regime today. Mi-ran was born with "tainted blood" because her father was disgraced for winding up a South Korean POW. She meets her young man, who is from a respectable family, in secret and walks with him for hours under cover of darkness, without touching, not even holding hands. Although they care deeply for each other, she does not dare tell him of her plan to escape for fear that he and his family would be implicated or that he would be forced to inform on her. A model citizen, Mrs. Song is a believer in the goodness of "the dear leader" until her immediate circumstances force her to see the light. Dr. Kim, a dedicated physician, has no drugs to give her patients, and is stunned to find that dogs in China eat better than people in North Korea. Kim Hyuck, a homeless orphan, survives by his wits on the streets. Once in Seoul, each refugee goes through a lengthy debriefing to learn to adjust to life in the free world, sadly, a difficult process for many. Reading this account is like watching a 60 Minutes or Sunday Morning or NBC Dateline story—utterly compelling as it shines a light on a society hidden from the rest of the world. Nothing to Envy is nominated for a National Book Award.
The Ginseng Hunter by Jeff Talarigo is a spare, poetic tale of a solitary man living on the Chinese border with North Korea. His father taught him to closely observe the clues in nature to find the elusive ginseng and then to harvest it slowly, carefully, and with respect in order to preserve its value and insure future harvests. His experience hunting ginseng becomes a metaphor for his relationship with a young Korean escapee hiding in a brothel. She tells a harrowing tale of corruption, brutality, and fear. When the madam offers to sell her to him, he realizes that "the price for her, ounce for ounce, is so much less than what I hunt and sell". A haunting tale.
Somewhere Inside: one sister's captivity in North Korea and the other's fight to bring her home is the story of Lisa Ling and her eventual release thanks to her sister's determination and political pressure brought to bear on Kim Jong-il. Here, at least, is one happy ending to a tale of North Korea.
The recent anointing of Kim Jong-un to take the place of his father suggests, however, that nothing is about to change for those trapped in the darkness of North Korea. Life there remains nothing to envy.

Happy Birthday, Dianna Ross!!!
Tuesday, March 26, 2013
Happy Birthday to Diana Ross, who turns 69 today (March 26th)!!! Ross was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and joined the R&B trio the Primettes in 1959. At the time the Primettes were made up of Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard, and original member Barbara Martin. After signing to Motown records in 1960, the group changed their name to the Supremes.
Starting in 1964 with "When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes," the Supremes scored 33 Top 40 singles, including 12 Number One pop hits. "Someday We'll Be Together" was the group's final Number One, after which Ross left to begin a solo career, which earned her an additional 27 Top 40 hits, including 1970's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," her first solo Number One.
Ross also reached the top of the charts with "Touch Me In The Morning" (1973), "Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)" (1975), "Love Hangover" (1976), "Upside Down" (1980), and "Endless Love" -- her 1981 duet with Lionel Richie.
She has also had a career as an actress, earning an Academy Award best actress nomination for her role as singer Billie Holiday in Lady Sings The Blues. Her other films included Mahogany, and The Wiz.
Donny Osmond recalled watching Ross whip her band into shape during a mid-'70s soundcheck: "There's a reason why they call her 'The Boss.' In Vegas, I can't remember if I was following her at Caesars or she was following us at Caesars. She was doing rehearsals during the day of our closing night and man she ruled with an iron fist. And you just didn't get in her way. But in a way, I admired it because she commanded the stage. She knew what she wanted (and) nobody would cross her."
Ross says that it took her years to finally become in charge of her career: "Y'know you learn from mistakes. You learn what you have to offer and you try to give that back. And it gives you a little bit of ownership in that way. When you have a little ownership in executive producing, you have more of a voice in how certain things are done. Not that much, but you have somewhat of a voice, and it took me a long time to get to be an executive producer."
She says that despite her many years in the spotlight, she's still a family-oriented person: "Y'know, that's really who I am. I'm in show business, and I know people have a lot of images of what, y'know, all the possibilities of show business are, but I'm a . . . I'm a family-oriented person."
In December 2007 Ross was among the Kennedy Center Honorees, which also included Brian Wilson, Martin Scorsese, Steve Martin, and pianist Leon Fleischer.
Ross' last studio album -- 2007's I Love You -- peaked at Number 32 on the Billboard 200 charts and featured covers of Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," Harry Nilsson's "Remember," Bill Withers' "Lovely Day," Heatwave's "Always And Forever," the Drifters' "This Magic Moment," the Beatles' "I Will," Spiral Staircase's "I Love You More Today Than Yesterday," and Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful," among others.
Diana Ross tour dates (subject to change):
August 3 - Los Angeles, CA - Hollywood Bowl
August 9 - Boston, MA - Citi PAC Wang Theatre
November 2 - Houston, Texas - Houston Children's Charity Gala at Hyatt Regency Houston

Keynote Speaker:
Jim Nussle, President/CEO, Credit Union National Association
Jim Nussle was named president and CEO of the Credit Union National Association in September 2014. Nussle, is a former eight-term congressman and director of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
CUNA is the largest and most influential national financial services trade association advocating for America's credit unions. There are nearly 6,700 credit unions nationwide, with over 100 million members and almost $1.1 trillion in assets.
Nussle has long admired the grass roots advocacy strength of the credit union movement. In Congress, he witnessed firsthand the enthusiastic advocacy the leaders and members of the nation's nearly 7,000 credit unions have.
Nussle served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1991-2007 as a Republican representative from the State of Iowa. From 2001-2006, he served as chairman of the House Budget Committee, a key panel that oversees the federal budget process, including review of all bills and resolutions on the budget. In addition he was a member of the House leadership and served on the Banking and Ways and Means Committees.
In 2007, President Bush tapped him as the 36th director of OMB, the largest office within the Executive Office of the President of the United States. As OMB director, he was a member of the president's cabinet.
Nussle also served on the founding board of Growth Energy, a trade association of renewable energy companies and industry partners. He was recruited by his fellow board members in 2010 to help lead the organization as its President and COO. During his tenure, Growth Energy nearly doubled its revenue, increased membership by 18% to become the largest renewable energy association, and successfully navigated several regulatory and legislative challenges.
In his early career, Nussle served his community for four years as a first responder and firefighter with the Manchester Volunteer Fire Department. He also spent four years as the Delaware County Attorney, the chief prosecutor and civil attorney for the jurisdiction and established his own law practice. Nussle also serves as a director on the boards of Thrivent Mutual Funds, PRA Group Inc., and as a special advisor on the advisory board of AVISTA Capital Partners.
In addition, he volunteers his time with The National Down Syndrome Society and as President of Epiphany Lutheran Church Congregational Council, where you can often find him "sitting in" playing guitar in the praise band for Sunday services.
A native Iowan, Nussle received a degree in political science from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and his law degree from Drake University in Des Moines. Nussle and his wife, Karen live in Virginia, and have two adult children.

i think the techs dont got high enough
i want to form 'a european empire', where can i find which provincies i have to own en which government i need to adopt
I dragged the mod folder as well as the .mod file into the eu3 mod folder, but the mod won't show in the launcher dropdown. I downloaded the eu3 3.2 compatible version since i dont have httt.
you know why dont they just make the core game like this? make something like a rising nations expansion, something like that.
example:turkey owns lands end, british isles.
and also ship models dont appear and when an army leabes these invisible ships theyre model becomes twice as big???
Last edited by Extradaemon; 17-01-2011 at 22:47. Reason: ok it turns out that the giant army models are the ships wtf.....
I just got this EU3 Complete (IN&NA) and checked it out, been looking for something that range early 1000ad til 2000ad. When i clicked on grand campaign on v3.2, the graphics look terrible, why?
It was really nice 3D cool water and objects, now i see alot of strange white blocks on hills/mountains on this mod. Couldnt make it out what they were or what they suppose to be.
Im sorry found the sticky up there to replace the vanilla ones, back to orginal
Got a questions, removing those folders involved graphics you mention, hope it didnt take away those units or other objects when go farther down the game, that would crash! By replacing orginal folders and deleting the RN's FX/Terrain folders.
BTW, after viewing the units and i dont see very many combat units in there. What happen to DD, CL, BB, CV, and planes? So this mod wasnt meant to past 1800? Its missing alot, alot of units. Each countries, esp the major ones have different models and classes. The sprite or graphics doesnt have to be perfect though.
Last edited by RisingSun; 19-01-2011 at 05:03.
The white blocks may be trees and such, try removing "trees" in the settings.
First englesh isnt my first languege!
So i have intaled an original eu3 complete its patched 3.2, i download rising nation for 3.2 i change the the country folder in common folder of the mod, i cleare the map cache but when i try to start Rising Nations the game crash and put me out the some error message:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
This application requested the runtimeto terminate it inonusual way...
and after he put out a message he canot open the holy roman empire folder..!?
Plese help me how i can fix it??
I have this aswell... the mod has always worked perefectly, till now, when i tried to load a German Empire savegame from a 2011 start, it crashed....
Custom avatars back, please?
~-Dropping cameras off cliffs since 1913-~
First englesh isnt my first languege so im spek it a little...
I have a problem with rising nation i have patch 3.2 final and i cleared the catche folder...but evry time the game crash when its load and put out this message:
Microsoft C++ Runtime Library
This application requeted the runtime to terminate it in on usual way...
after he say:
Canot open the folder "sao tome and prince" or "holyroman empire" text file...
Plese help me!
dude. its because ur pc cant read the letters for example two dots above the e, U have to go to each file and change em.
Yes it was inexistent!?
Icreate it and now its work
think you...
I had the same problem... but i solved it myself! It's very simple, it's from the define.txt, wich you can find in Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis III\mod\RISING-NATIONS 1.4\common, and you'll can find (by comparison with vanilla define.txt) lack of "1 #_CDEF_HEIR_DEATH"! Fix it, and try to find another lack of define's line (if i forgot something, eh! i fixed it few mounth ago!)... with that, you be able to load your saved game, but be carefull, if you didn't saw it, you have also a big inflation number (all countries had it with the wrong define.txt) cause of staggered line of text. So you may fix your define.txt, can load savegame, but your inflation stay hight (edit the save game).
Ok, so heres the deal:
I bought Europa Universalis III: Complete (that's EU3, HTTT, In nomine, and napoleons ambition, NOT Divine Wind), off of Steam.
After a while i decided to check out some mods.
I found a mod called Rising Nations and thought it looked interesting.
I have the 4.1 version of HTTT, and even though the Rise of Nations mod-guys spesifically tells us that it is for the 4.0, several threads say that it will work on 4.1, with only som minor bugs.
Sadly, i havent been able to experience these bugs, as the game will not run. I select it from the drop down menu in the launcher, and the game loads, but then it crashes with the error message: "eu3game.exe stopped working" or something similar.
If u have any suggestions that may solve my problems, plz reply
Many Thanks ^^
It's German Empire, 1796... game was working fine until i saved it and just today i tried playing it. I load the savegame perfectly fine but when i hit the space bar to advance the time forward it crashes? Any help? Thanks!
i've just added a solution for people that bought httt from steam like me.
I played as the Soviets. So after a few days of playing, I saved like always. When I clicked on the saved game itself, the mod/game crashed. I restarted the computer and everything, still doesn't work. Thoughts?
Hi, I'm having the same problem, only the game crashes. I clicked your link but it's broken, can you tell me what you did?
Playing as Slovenia in the most recent update for IN, the game crashes every single time at February 28, 2089.
Does anyone how I can fix this?

Read: Wojtek Wolski Is Still Working Out With Steven Stamkos
At the Globe and Mail, James Mirtle lists Wojtek Wolski as one of the players taking part in the Biosteel camp in Toronto.
Wolski is on a team that is working with Gary Roberts.
Some of the other NHL players at the camp include Steven Stamkos,Tyler Seguin, Mike Cammalleri are Jeff Skinner.
John Mitchell, who was acquired and played in Hartford last season, and 2010 fifth round pick Jason Wilson are also at the camp.
Wolski has spent time this summer working with a "Hockey Guru."
Keep working, Wooly. The Rangers need you at your best this season, and you want to show the NHL that you deserve a new contract after this season. It should be a win-win for both.
Yeah I can't wait for Tyler to be signed so he can sit on the bench next to Toure and Aldrich every game. Although I suppose 1 of them would be released since they won't cut Chris Smith.
Hmmmm, how convenient that this "news" is being shoved down our throats just as the date for trading players arrives. Instead of pulling the trigger and making a trade to even TRY to salvage this pathetic, dreadful season, they announce this, as if we were such a great looking team even when Chandler was playing. Go ahead sheep, eat it up.
@darealeric They were 1-4 with Chandler in the lineup.
Right, go crawl back under your rock you moron.

Maybe it's just a modification as little as adding the MIME type to /usr/share/kde4/services/phononbackends/vlc.desktop (location may vary depending on distribution). You can try it yourself right now.
This way, you're just making excellent advertisement for Qt and KDE programs. If you're piling on such bile with no arguments, it is probably good software and you're jealous!

Thanks to this topic I installed Clementine, it seems to be working better than the alternatives for me (I'm running wheezy, so its possible other media players are better when updated). I don't really care much about the RAM/CPU usage, though I'm not sure its really the fault of the player that it can cripple a system by scanning for and playing music, but for arguments sake:-
Code:allan@ub3r:~$ top -p 3103 top - 03:13:15 up 1:35, 6 users, load average: 0.07, 0.14, 0.13 Tasks: 1 total, 0 running, 1 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 2.7 us, 0.9 sy, 0.0 ni, 96.2 id, 0.1 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.1 si, 0.0 st KiB Mem: 16361996 total, 2881236 used, 13480760 free, 46396 buffers KiB Swap: 5105660 total, 0 used, 5105660 free, 1678760 cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3103 allan 20 0 1120m 136m 40m S 5.0 0.9 4:32.95 clementine
From now on, I will ignore any forum thread with funkSTAR present, because he is such a butthurt asshole in most of his posts and is unnecessarily attacking others in an aggressive manner. A GNOME 3 user that actually considers lack of configurability a feature. Go back to MAC OS X that's built idiot-proof and hence is more suitable for you.
Seriously, look at his posts. The majority of them are 10% opinion and 90% calling names to others. Did KDE kill his cat or something?
Ban him, please.
I won't say it's better/worse than other players. With so many options, I'm sure anyone can pick a quarrel with a player or two. Who cares, you're not supposed to like them all. Use whatever you like. You think it uses too much RAM or CPU? Open a bug. Ask for your money back. Get a life.
Actually, I just decided to try out the VLC backend again to see if changing mimetypes would indeed work, and apparently the MIDI issues with the backend have been fixed while I was not looking! That's pretty awesome! It now recognises MIDI files and can play them back, just like GStreamer. The difference being that VLC is using FluidSynth and GStreamer is using Timidity. And I actually like FluidSynth a bit more... Now if only Amarok was to add MIDI files to the music collection.
I must live in an alternate dimension. Horrible UI? Amarok's UI is my favorite. It's so simple. Sources on one side, playlist on the other. Click on a source and it gets dumped into a playlist. Easy. Though I wish the sources panel was tabbed like in Clementine, instead of hierarchical. It's annoying having to go back to the root menu to switch to internet streams, instead of just tabbing between sources (I'm sure there are people that prefer not having a tab bar taking up space...). But it's not a big deal. I also use phonon-VLC.
Amarok does have problems, but the UI isn't one of them.

About ECM
January 24 , 2014
Reviews of the week
German and British media welcome
Dance Without Answer
by Norma Winstone, Glauco Venier and Klaus Gesing
Vocalist Norma Winstone is good at small musical families who converse with quiet uninhibitedness and last for years like the trio Azimuth from 1977 into the 1990s, and in this ensemble with Italian pianist Glauco Venier and German reeds player Klaus Gesing since 2002. As with the group's acclaimed earlier sessions for ECM, Dance Without Answer mingles Winstone lyrics to her partners' tunes with diverse and audaciously reimagined covers of material from Tom Waits's San Diego Serenade and Nick Drake's Time of No Reply to the 1985 Madonna song Live to Tell. Not much hurries, flusters or intensifies Winstone's cool delivery, but her range, control and relaxation in open musical spaces remain awesome, and her pure tones are acquiring a more gravelly informality with the years. Gesing is magnificent, bending slow bass-clarinet sounds on the title track of unstated goodbyes, whooping and wheeling across Venier's adaptation of the Italian poem Gust da Essi Viva.
John Fordham, The Guardian
This is now the third album for ECM by this remarkable trio, and it is difficult to supress the urge to declare that it is also their best to date. On closer acquaintance and after revisiting Distances from 2007 and Stories Yet To Tell recorded in 2009 it is apparent all are on a par in terms of their excellence and consistency. Norma Winstone is perhaps singing better than at any time in her long and distinguished career, and there can be few on the world stage to seriously rival the sheer beauty and emotional depth of her voice. In Klaus Gesing the trio have a versatile reedsman with a sensual and moving, yet playful turn of phrase locked in the purity of his tone on soprano saxophone; and a bass clarinettist of genuine and unique originality. Pianist Glauco Venier brings to this a sense of formality and harmonic awareness that, rather than being the glue that holds the fabric of the material together, suggests new directions for both voice and horns. [...] All in all this is a superb album from start to finish.
Nick Lea, Jazz Views
Die delikaten Dialoge des Italieners Glauco Venier (Piano) und des Deutschen Klaus Gesing (Sax, Klarinette) münden in feingliedrigen Kammer-Jazz. Die so zarte wie nachdrückliche Stimmpräsenz der Britin Norma Winstone wiederum ist für sich schon atemberaubend.
Matthias Inhoffen, Stereoplay
Dublin daily Irish Times on
Il Pergolese
, the new project of Maria Pia de Vito, François Couturier, Anja Lechner and Michele Rabbia
In the end, its jazz musicians who will save the world from the genre police. For proof, check out this genre-busting reinterpretation of Italian opera composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesis music. Neapolitan singer Maria Pia de Vito is well known for her category blindness, and here she teams up with three musicians with form in blurring the lines between jazz and classical: cellist Anja Lechner, pianist Francois Couturier, and percussion/electronica wizard Michele Rabbia. The essential character of Pergolesis sacred and profane melodies is retained, by turns somber, elegiac and whimsical. But here new layers of meaning are added through improvisation by a quartet of equals in total command of their material and their instruments.
Cormac Larkin, Irish Times
Acclaim from America and Germany for Arild Andersen`s new trio recording
with Tommy Smith and Paolo Vinaccia
A long overdue and equally impressive follow-upalbeit for different reasonsMira presents this trio in a different light to its 2008 debut; still, it's no surprise that Andersen, Vinaccia and Smith prove as capable of darker intents as they do more energetic exchanges. Studio recordings inherently present alternative perspectives, and with Mira, the possibilities both delivered and alluded to on Live at Belleville now possess an evolved simpatico, greater attention to space and more expansive, expressive vernacular that, despite allowing so much time to pass since the trio's last recording, is the direct result of its working regularly in the six years between them.
John Kelman, All About Jazz
Die drei beteiligten Musiker haben eine sehr ansprechende Klangkultur entwickelt, die sich sehr gut in den Kosmos ihres Labels ECM einfügt. Songs, die sehr transparent, ätherisch und zerbrechlich beginnen, die sich aber in der Regel nach ein paar Minuten Spieldauer sehr schön verdichten und unglaublich aufladen. Es sind Songs mit einer großen Intensität und einer verblüffenden Geschmackssicherheit, die fast alle aus der Feder des Bandleaders stammen.
Matthias Wegner, Deutschlandradio
Extended Circle
, the new recording by the Tord Gustavsen Quartet, is reviewed in English weekly Independent on Sunday
Extended Circle is certainly a satisfying synthesis of his quiet and stately, Nordic-hymn-meets-mildly-funky-groove style as well as suggesting possible new beginnings. Meditative and swinging in turns, the 12 pieces (including the actual hymn Eg Veit I Himmerik Ei borg) feel like one extended suite, while the best of the groups playing recalls , as on the Gift Keith Jarrett and Jan Garbareks 1978 album on the ECM label My Song which is no mean praise.
Phil Johnson, Independent On Sunday
Guitarist Zsófia Boros ECM-debut
En otra parte
enchants the reviewer from US magazine Fanfare
Listening to Zsofia Boros En otra parte I was immediately captivated by her expressive artistry: the clear, beautiful tone, liquid phrasing, precise layering of melody and accompaniment, effortless runs, fluid figuration, stylistic comprehension, and the emphatic sense of mood and emotion. While most of the pieces unfold at a leisurely pace, several are more rhythmically assertive Vincente Amigos flamenco-inspired Callejon de la luna for example. Boros has thoroughly assimilated the style, delivering the rasguedos and other flourishes with aplomb, but not emplaying the full complement of martial or metallic coloring; its worth rembering that theres more to flamenco than stamping feet, raw vocals, and throbbing guitars. [...] a memorable recital performed by a sensitive musician, captured in an acoustic that appealingly balances clarity with resonance.
Robert Schulslaper, Fanfare
The Hilliard Ensembles new album
Il Cor Tristo
is reviewed in Choir & Organ magazine
It is titled after Roger Marshs Il Cor Tristo, a setting of cantos 32 and 33 from Dantes Inferno interspersed with pieces by the 16th-century Barnardo Pissano and Jacques Acadelt in which Petrarch love poems wallow in their own misery over the ironies of love. The music dances, the voices soar and the Hilliards are in their element. This is a very different world from Dantes depiction of Hell. Marsh captures the chilling, frightening darkness with great skill, the narrative using some of the techniques of the early madrigal composers, isolating critical words where voices separate and then come together. It is cleverly exclamatory and unsettling, the repetitive phrasing sticking in the mind, and the scenario is brilliantly depicted by the singers.
Shirley Ratcliffe, Choir & Organ
András Schiffs recording of the
Diabelli Variationen
by Ludwig van Beethoven impresses the Irish Times
A set of two performances of the Diabelli Variations by the one performer? [...] András Schiff has chosen an 1820-ish fortepiano by Franz Brodmann, an original not a copy, and a 1921 Bechstein that was used by Wilhelm Backhaus in concerts and recordings. Both are quite different in sound to a modern Steinway, less thick and bulky in tone in ways that allow Schiffs playing to seem unusally lithe. And Schiffs management of the sound world facilitates the fantasy and wit of the music as well as its breathtaking chutzpah in the way it takes Diabellis trivial theme through complex transmogrifications. A must for anyone seriously interested in the piano or the Diabellis.
Michael Dervan, Irish Times

Flower-embroidered running shoes, pastel pumps and discreet jewels: the accessories of the spring-summer 2014 haute couture show expressed that same gracious lightness as the clothes Raf Simons designed.
She's a woman of today, sophisticated but contemporary, delicate but energetic, a flower-woman in perpetual motion. It's not hard to imagine her kicking off her glamorous evening shoes to slip into a pair of sneakers and jump off the runway, unfettered, free to run and to dance all night long.
These shoes express the dynamism of a woman endlessly moving from one kind of life to another. Sneakers given feminine curves, and delicately embroidered with beads or fabric flowers bring to her couture look a relaxed and radically modern feel. Her insouciance comes through in everything she wears, in every one of her accessories. They're the discreet signature of a woman who lets nothing hold her back. The fine chain encircling her neck and wound between her fingers looks like a ribbon jewel that she whipped on as she dashed out the door.
Standing on the high heels of her silvery brogues, with their strap wrapped around the top of her calves in the manner of a gentle form of armor, she has the futuristic allure of a conquerer out to seduce. Lastly, it's her delicate sensuality that one catches sight of when she moves in pumps of blush pink, sea green or sky blue: in these pastel shades, the shoes hug her leg like a garter, subtly blurring the line between clothing and lingerie, between the Dior woman's outward couture splendor, and the intimacy at which she hints.

Details scant in home invasion and shooting: Man hurt in Lebanon; SUV found at Rochester plaza
Wednesday, January 9, 2013
ROCHESTER — Officials closed off an area around the Big Lots retail store on Milton Road Tuesday afternoon as Rochester police towed away a black SUV believed to be related to a home invasion and shooting in Lebanon, Maine, earlier that day.
In Rochester, a police official said the recovered vehicle, which was spotted around 2:30 p.m. and towed just before 4 p.m. from the business parking lot, would be towed back to Maine for processing. Area departments were asked to "be on the lookout" for a black F-150 pickup truck but later recovered the dark SUV.
The vehicle recovered in Rochester is believed to be that of the shooting victim.
Police Lt. Gary Boudreau declined to comment as a K9 unit from Portsmouth combed the area behind the plaza for evidence.
The York County Sheriff's Office could not be reached Tuesday evening for further comment, but the Middleton Police Department posted on Facebook public should be wary of a subject reportedly last seen at the Rochester Market Basket, next door to the Big Lots location, wanted in connection with a shooting. The posting described the while male suspect as wearing a "Cargill jacket and camo hat" and noted the subject could be violent if approached.
Rochester shoppers were not evacuated from the area, many milling in and out of the business area as the area was roped off.

Festool Mobile HEPA rated Dust Extractor CT 36 E: In fabrication, dust happens. It's very small, floats everywhere, lands on everything in sight, and gets inside your tools. Due to its minute size, wood dust particles can be particularly troublesome to remove from an environment once airborne. The fine dust that is ejected into the air can make you sneeze, cough, and experience other allergy-like symptoms. Experts agree that limiting your exposure is the best protection. Another great way to minimize the effects of dust created during fabrication is to use high quality tools that are designed with dust extraction in mind. When working with a good dust extractor, you will be able to eliminate the majority of the dust created at the source before it is ever released into your environment. Dust extractors with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters, paired in-line or on-board are the best solution. These filters are capable of capturing 99.997% of all particulates down to 0.3 microns. Originally developed by the Atomic Energy Commission to remove radioactive dust from industrial exhaust, HEPA filters have become the preferred filtration system for most sensitive manufacturing and health care environments. There is no better filtration on the market today. Now take a deep breath and focus on what's really important - your results.

EPSOM, NH—Attorney General Mike Delaney (NH) joined The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility to bring Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don't Mix to students at Epsom Central School today. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility created an interactive, physical fitness activity that builds on the existing Ask, Listen, Learn program and encourages kids to "say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking." The initiative is based on research by Harvard Medical School's Dr. John Ratey, showing that for a person's brain to function at its peak; the body needs to move. The interactive activity, as well as a supporting website, encourages kids to live a healthy lifestyle. The website also provides parents with information and strategies to help jumpstart the conversation about the dangers of underage drinking.
"It's important that kids understand that the choices they make today—good or bad—will have a lasting impact on their lives," said Attorney General Delaney "I'm proud to participate in the creative work the Ask, Listen, Learn team is doing to engage children in the sometimes challenging discussion about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and the hazards of underage drinking."
Sarah Cissna of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility added, "According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, nearly 16% of 12 to 14 year olds report they have consumed alcohol in the past month. Our Ask, Listen, Learn program has the potential to further reduce these numbers, as half (49%) of 12-14 year olds believe alcohol education has made a difference in the decision they have made regarding alcohol."
"We are thrilled The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility was able to bring their Ask, Listen, Learn program to Epsom Central School. Talking about the dangers of underage drinking with our youth is incredibly important and I have a feeling after today's event our students will be asking to play the interactive activity a lot. I believe the more enthusiasm we can build around this important issue – saying 'no' to underage drinking – the smarter choices our students will make," said Principal Patrick Connors.
Developed over six years ago, Ask, Listen, Learn has already reached millions of parents, kids, and teachers around the country. Ask, Listen, Learn's new initiatives include:
- Asklistenlearn.com encourages kids to "say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking" by offering kids interactive and educational games and videos.
- Any kid can become a member of the Ask, Listen, Learn Team by taking a pledge to make healthy choices.
- Ask, Listen, Learn utilizes role models such as Speed Skater Apolo Anton Ohno and professional track stars Tyson Gay and Lolo Jones as "SuperStars." Ask, Listen, Learn Team members will be encouraged to read Questions and Answers from SuperStars to learn how elite athletes dealt with peer pressure as they were growing up. SuperStars will encourage kids to make responsible decisions and live a healthy lifestyle.
- Ask, Listen, Learn will have a supplement in Scholastic where teachers may find information about the program and how to incorporate it into their lesson plans, kids can tear out posters, and can play educational games to learn about living a healthy lifestyle and saying no to underage drinking.

start the new year off right: your healthy guide to 2012
With Halloween candy, Thanksgiving pies, and Christmas cookies in the past, it's time to ring in the New Year with some tips to maintain your health in 2012.
Get prepared: Stocking up your kitchen with healthy favorites will eliminate the temptation to eat junk food that could be detrimental to your well-being and your fitness goals. Warm up with a nutritious cup of soup or jumpstart your metabolism with a cleansing cup of green tea. Oh yeah, you may also want to toss what's left of the holiday candy.
Get moving: Whether you enjoy working up a sweat on a bike, on your feet, or to the beat, there are tons of options to get you off the couch and ready for summer clothes. Group exercise, such as gym classes or joining a running club, is a great way to meet friends who have the same fitness goals in mind. You would be surprised how much fun you can have while burning calories!
Get pumped up: Listening to some upbeat tunes is sure to put you in a good mood. Whether taking a Zumba class or hitting the clubs, hearing chart topping tunes by Rihanna, Pitbull, or Flo Rida are sure to give you a "Good Feeling."
Get de-stressed: Yoga and meditation are stress relieving activities that benefit the mind and body. Taking even just five minutes a day to focus on your breathing and clear your mind will help you let go of any stressful thoughts. Regular practice of these techniques can change the way you relate to yourself and others, making your relationships stronger and more fulfilling.
Get some rest: After a busy day at work or at home, sleep is essential for replenishing energy, reducing stress, and maintaining a healthy weight. Make a New Year's resolution to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night – your body will thank you!
Take these tips, make them part of your daily routine, and 2012 will be your best year yet!

Performance bonuses for the Cleveland Clinic brass? No way
Blog Entry:
June 28, 2013 11:22 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
A quick-hit edition to end the week:
Cleveland Clinic
officials among those who believe hospital chiefs should not receive performance bonuses, according to
this story
from Kaiser Health News and SBC News.
Some nonprofit hospitals "have mimicked corporate America by motivating CEOs with payments tied to the bottom line and other goals," the story notes. "But boards and CEOs at some of the most admired and efficient health systems in the country believe any kind of incentive pay for the top boss is a mistake."
For instance, the CEO of Dartmouth-Hitchcock health system isn't eligible for an incentive bonus, and the Mayo Clinic "typically does not receive bonus compensation," a spokesman says.
Neither does Cleveland Clinic CEO Toby Cosgrove, the story notes.
Bonuses "make it too easy for leaders to focus on finances instead of patients," says Joseph Scaminace, head of the board of directors' committee that sets executive pay at the Clinic.
"Whenever the subject has ever been raised by any of our board members, it very quickly gets tabled as something that's very inappropriate," he says. "The culture of the Clinic is the very core of the Clinic. To tinker with that culture with incentives that are focused on return on investments wouldn't just be folly. It would be so wrong."
Ohio Gov.
John Kasich
may provide the model for GOP success in 2016.
So says Politico.com in a
long profile
noting that while Republicans inside the Beltway "continue to stumble and fumble their way to irrelevancy," Gov. Kasich and other Midwestern conservatives "are quietly offering a blueprint for success: competence, consistency and actually creating jobs rather than just talking about it."
Mere months ago, Gov. Kasich "was among the most unpopular governors in the land," Politico.com says. "Now, he is surging, his approval numbers rising north of 50 percent as his state's unemployment numbers have dropped. He has antagonized big constituencies with his efforts to make government cheaper and more efficient, cut taxes and slap around union leaders."
In an interview, he tells the website, "These groups come around and they're whining and complaining. We just don't pay attention to that. We'll listen to them. But if their issues don't carry water, we just do it. We look at a problem and try to solve it."
Politico.com says Gov. Kasich "is replicating much of the approach that Mitch Daniels took as Indiana governor during two terms ending in January. It's what Scott Walker forced on Wisconsin, and Mike Pence is now trying to do in the Hoosier State. The public backlash is intense initially, abates over time, and eventually gives way as job growth pushes other issues into the background, including the GOP's dilemma with immigration and same-sex marriage."
Looking to fix up a low-cost house? You live in the right city, according to
this story
from MarketWatch.com.
"There are more than 51,000 bank-owned homes in the country that were built before 1960 and have an estimated market value below $100,000 — homes with the greatest fixer-upper potential," the website says, based on data from
, an online foreclosure marketplace.
Detroit and Chicago have the most such homes, followed by Cleveland. (The top 10 is dominated by Rust Belt cities.)
MarketWatch.com says Cleveland has 1,318 bank-owned properties built before 1960 that are valued under $100,000. The average value of those homes: $59,800.
Diebold Inc.
executive is quoted in
this Businessweek.com story
about major changes expected in ATM technology.
"About half of U.S. financial-services institutions surveyed between December and March by research firm CEB TowerGroup plan to replace their ATMs before 2017," the website reports. "Of those, most say they'll have done so by the end of next year. These mark the banks' first major ATM upgrades in more than a decade."
Businessweek.com says ATM makers are working hard to mimic iPad-style menus operated by drags of a finger across a touchscreen.
"We are starting to see the beginning of where the ATM experience mirrors the tablet experience," says Raja Bose, senior director of consumer transaction solutions at Diebold.
Similarly, at 240 test branches, JPMorgan Chase has introduced cash machines with screens that look like large tablets.
"It's all about approachability," says Bill Sheley, head of branch and ATM innovation at Chase. "You want to pick something consumers are very familiar with."
The Guardian
has some book suggestions
for readers turned off by the density and complexity of some science fiction novels, and one of them is by Cleveland author
Mary Doria Russell
"Like any enduring cultural experiment, science fiction has evolved its own codes, its own logic,"
The Guardian
says. "Some of the genre's most intense and visionary work talks in a shared language of concepts that can be hard for the uninitiated to penetrate."
But if you "want to catch up with the literature of our shared future," the publication says, it "would be hard to find a better starting point" than Ms. Russell's acclaimed novel
"The Sparrow."
It's one of my favorite books of recent times. If you're not familiar with it, here's
The Guardian's
Mankind receives a signal from space, music from the alien world Rakhat. The first to respond are not governments or even corporations, but the Jesuit missionary order, who send a private expedition in a hollowed out asteroid to make contact. The novel is told in retrospect through the eyes of the only surviving crew member, priest Emilio Sandoz. If this scenario sounds at all oddball to you, please put those feelings aside. The story of the first encounter between humankind and alien life that Russell creates is both devastating and an awe-inspiring treatise on man's relationship to our universe.

Loa loa life cycle.
photo size: small | high
1. During a blood meal, an infected Chrysops fly (a day-biting fly) transmits 3rd-stage filarial larvae onto the skin of the human host, where the larvae enter the bite wound.
2. The larvae mature into adults in subcutaneous tissue.
3. Adults produce sheathed microfilariae, which circulate in the blood during the day and, when not in circulation, reside in the lungs. Microfilariae may be present in spinal fluid, urine, and sputum.
4. The fly ingests microfilariae during a blood meal.
5. After ingestion, the microfilariae lose their sheath, penetrate the fly's midgut, and migrate to its thoracic muscles.
6–7. There, the microfilariae go through 3 stages (L1-L3) of larval development.
8. Larvae migrate to the fly's proboscis and can infect another human when the fly takes a blood meal.
