Coach gone Wild: Lemaire extends deal with Minnesota
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Galvanized by an influx of talent and experience added to the roster in the offseason, Jacques Lemaire signed a multiyear contract extension on Wednesday to remain the coach of the Minnesota Wild.
Lemaire, who has coached the Wild since its inaugural season in 2000, entered this year in the final year of his deal. Terms of the new contract were not disclosed.
After the Wild spent millions on free agents Mark Parrish, Keith Carney and Kim Johnsson, signed star Marian Gaborik to a contract extension and traded for Pavol Demitra, Lemaire said he had no hesitation about wanting to stay with the franchise he helped build.
"It's a big change in the way I feel as a coach. I'm even more excited than I was the first year here," the 61-year-old Lemaire said. "I love to see them play. ... Their ability makes it a lot easier for me."
The Wild gained respect in their first five seasons in the league thanks in large part to Lemaire's hard-working style. The team is 164-168-81 in five-plus seasons in the league and made a stunning run to the Western Conference finals in the 2003 playoffs. But fans grew restless after the team missed the playoffs last season coming out of the lockout. It seems like Lemaire was growing restless himself.
He spoke with GM Doug Risebrough in the summer about signing an extension, but when asked Wednesday if he would have stayed in Minnesota had the Wild not added all of that talent and leadership, Lemaire hesitated.
Jacques Lemaire, the only head coach in Minnesota Wild history, signed a contract extension with the club Wednesday. Lemaire has coached 413 regular-season games for the Wild. Only two other original coaches of NHL teams held that position for at least 400 consecutive games: Lester Patrick with the New York Rangers (604 games, 1926-27 to 1938-39) and current Nashville Predators coach Barry Trotz (576 games, 1998-99 to date).

"That is a good question, and I don't know what to think about it," Lemaire said in his trademark thick French-Canadian accent. "It was time for the organization to move up."
The investment is paying off early this season. The Wild are 3-0 for the first time in franchise history, exhibiting a strong combination of goal-scoring, tough defense and, as usual, solid goaltending.
The hard-to-please Lemaire showered praise on his players during his press conference, clearly impressed with the way they play the game and the skills they possess.
"It's fun to watch," he said. "It's exciting. It's fun for a coach when they see players who have the ability to do things on the ice."
He said when he was first hired to coach the expansion franchise, he never dreamed he would be here this long.
"Not at all," Lemaire said. "I didn't know I would enjoy it as much as I do right now after six, seven years here."
Risebrough praised Lemaire's leadership and teaching skills in a press release issued by the team.
"Jacques is the right person for this job," Risebrough said. "A statement as true today as it was the day he was hired."
His players seem to agree.
"He's a smart coach," Demitra said. "He knows what he's talking about. We can learn a lot from him. We have so much respect for what he's done in the past."
Lemaire won eight Stanley Cups as a player with the Montreal Canadiens and coached the New Jersey Devils to the Cup in 1995.
"It's good for the organization and for the team," said forward Pierre-Marc Bouchard, who has played for the Wild for four seasons. "Jacques is a really good coach. He knows how to win."
Many think he'll be winning a lot more this year, and Lemaire didn't shy away from those expectations.
"We've worked hard to get to this point," Lemaire said. "In the near future, we'll see exactly where this team is going to go, and I want to be a part of it."

- Quality banner! Review by Erin
The banner looked really great! The only problem we had is that I thought I had ordered the larger size and didn't check and when it arrived it was smaller than we thought. We still used it at our daughter's party and everone commented on how great it looked. The design was great and we will be able to use it time and time again.

Isn't it funny how things come about? While working on the textiles component for the exhibition Of Love and War a painted kitbag came to me for treatment. The lovely pin-up painted on the bag looked an awful lot like Dorothy Lamour, a beautiful actress known as the "Sarong Girl" in the 1940's. As the exhibition will be travelling I had to chuckle that Dorothy Lamour made a string of Bing Crosby/ Bob Hope "On the Road" films. The kitbag belonged to Signaller John Conrad Lynam, a timber cutter from Brisbane.

The collection includes 286 volumes of diaries and historical notebooks recorded by Bean at the time and often at the front line. The diaries are firsthand accounts of the war and offer a unique perspective due to Bean's status as official correspondent.

Have been treating with Dr. Kass for several years. He is professional, takes time to understand my requests and more importantly makes sure to explain thoroughly what results I can expect.

I get many compliments, feel and LOOK youthful and regain confidence that the aging process can take away. Dr. Kass is careful to make certain I look youthful without looking like I had work done. I also find him to be a kind man, a good and ethical human being. If you are looking for aesthetic treatment Dr. Kass and his staff will help guide you through the process. They communicate by telephone and email regularly and are knowledgeable and willing to work with hectic schedules.

There was a time not so long ago when people concluded that Ana Ivanovic's tennis game was lost and never coming back, the 2008 French Open champion banished to a land of forgotten one-time Grand Slam wonders like Anastasia Myskina and Gaston Gaudio.
Those two each won the French Open in 2004, but even the most ardent tennis fans outside Roland Garros would be hard-pressed to retrieve their names in a trivia contest.
Not so with Ivanovic.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of electronic packages, and more particularly, to the field of hermetically sealed electronic packages.
2. Background Information
For many applications, it is either desired or necessary to provide a hermetically sealed package for electronic devices. In the case of vacuum tubes, a hermetic seal is essential to the proper operation of the device. With semiconductor devices, a hermetically sealed package is considered necessary or desirable for semiconductor devices for which high reliability is required or which will be exposed to hostile environments. One of the problem areas in providing a hermetically sealed package is provision of hermetic seals between leads which extend from within the hermetically sealed portion of the package to outside the package enclosure. Over the years, many different lead and seal combinations have been developed in an attempt to provide hermetically sealed packages. These efforts have included the development of special metal alloys whose thermal coefficients of expansion are similar to that of the electrically insulating material through which the lead must pass along with the development of special sealing materials having substantially matched coefficients of thermal expansion such as special composition glasses for sealing the gap between the lead and the insulating body of the package.
One type of hermetically sealed package is disclosed in patent application Ser. No. 367,525, filed Jun. 16, 1989, entitled "Hermetic Package Having a Lead Extending Through an Aperture in the Package Lid and Packaged Semiconductor Chip", by V.A.K. Temple et al. In that package, apertures in a ceramic package lid are hermetically sealed by a direct bond between the ceramic lid and a copper foil which extends across an aperture in the lid. The direct bond copper process used to form this copper foil-to-ceramic seal or bond is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,744,120, 3,854,892 and 3,911,553 to Burgess et al.; U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,766,634 and 3,993,411 to Babcock et al.; U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,994,430 and 4,129,243 to Cusano et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 4,409,278 to Jochym; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,563,383 to Kuneman et al. Each of these patents is incorporated herein by reference. These direct bond patents teach that copper-copper oxide, nickel-nickel oxide, cobalt-cobalt oxide, iron-iron oxide and copper-copper sulfide eutectics can be used to form bonds of this type. This bond is formed by a copper-copper oxide eutectic mixture which wets both metallic copper and ceramic materials such as alumina and beryllia and which bonds the members together upon solidification. This copper-copper oxide eutectic process has been in use for many years in the electronic arts.
As discussed in application Ser. No. 367,525, it has been found that the copper foil must be direct bonded to the ceramic over a distance of about 100 mils in order to ensure the formation of a hermetic seal. This places a limit on the minimum spacing between electrically isolated leads. For some applications, the resulting minimum center-to-center spacing of leads is a severe disadvantage. A variation on that package is the subject of patent application Ser. No. 375,636, filed Jul. 3, 1987, and entitled "Hermetic Package and Package Semiconductor Chip Having Closely Spaced Leads Extending Through the Package Lid" by V.A.K. Temple et al.
Application Ser. No. 375,636 substantially reduces the spacing required between adjacent leads as compared to application Ser. No. 367,525. However, the minimum center-to-center lead spacing is still greater than is desirable for many applications.
Consequently, there is a need for an improved hermetic seal between a ceramic package component and a lead passing therethrough which requires less package component area per lead.
Accordingly, a primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved lead-to-ceramic hermetic seal which reduces the required seal path length for achieving a hermetic seal.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a ceramic package having improved hermetic seals between the package components and conductive leads passing therethrough.
The above and other objects which will become apparent from the specification as a whole, including the drawings, are accomplished in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention by providing a lead having a platinum or palladium core and a copper sheath extending through an alumina or beryllia substrate and hermetically sealing the aperture between the ceramic and the lead with a copper-copper oxide eutectic. This hermetic seal may be provided by coating the platinum or palladium core with copper, inserting the lead in an appropriately sized aperture in the ceramic and passing the combination through a direct bond copper furnace temperature profile in an appropriate atmosphere to form the copper-copper oxide eutectic which flows into any gaps between the lead and the ceramic and seals those gaps. Alternatively, a copper collar may be provided on a platinum or palladium lead with the collar disposed adjacent the ceramic. When this structure is passed through a direct bond copper process, the liquid eutectic flows into and seals the lead-to-ceramic gap upon solidification.
The subject matter which is regarded as the invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. The invention, however, both as to organization and method of practice, together which further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates a ceramic package component and lead in accordance with the present invention prior to sealing the lead to the ceramic;
FIG. 2 illustrates a ceramic package component and lead in accordance with the present invention after hermetic sealing of the lead to the ceramic; and
FIG. 3 illustrates an uncoated platinum or palladium lead disposed in an aperture in a ceramic with a copper collar in place for providing the eutectic to seal the lead to the ceramic.
In FIG. 1, a lead 20 ready for sealing in a ceramic package component 12 in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in a perspective cross-section view. A ceramic substrate 12 which may be alumina, beryllia or other appropriate materials may preferably be on the order of 25 mils (635 microns) thick and may have an aperture 14 which is 24 mils (610 microns) or 44 mils (1.12 mm) in diameter therein, extending through the ceramic component 12 between its major surfaces. The aperture diameter may be made larger or smaller as may be considered desirable. The lead 20 has a platinum core 22 which may be either 20 mils (508 microns) or 40 mils (1.02 mm) in diameter having a thin copper plating 24 which may be approximately 1 mil (25.4 microns) in thickness sheathing the platinum core. It is preferred to provide a copper collar 26 which is a press fit on the lead 20 and has a cylindrical shell thickness of, for example, 10 mils (254 microns) and a height of 25 mils (635 microns) and is disposed adjacent the ceramic component 12. The copper collar 26 is preferred in order to ensure the formation of sufficient eutectic material to seal the gap between the lead 20 and the ceramic 12 surrounding the aperture 14.
With the components disposed in the manner illustrated, the combined structure is passed through a copper direct bond thermal profile in accordance with the process taught in the above-identified direct bond copper process patents. In particular, the copper collar and plated platinum rod are heated in air at about 340� C. for several minutes to oxidize the copper to provide the oxygen necessary for the formation of the copper-copper oxide eutectic. The alumina plate 12 is preferably fired in air at about 940� C. for 10 minutes prior to assembly with the lead 20 and collar 26 in order to ensure that any unwanted residues from drilling and cleaning processes are removed prior to performing the bonding process. Following the preparatory steps, the assembled structure is heated to between 1,065� C. and 1,083� C. whereby a liquid, copper-copper oxide eutectic 28 forms, flows into the gap between the lead 20 and the ceramic 12 and fills that gap. The combined structure is then cooled to less than 1,065� C. to solidify the copper-copper oxide eutectic, thereby effecting a hermetic seal between the platinum rod and the ceramic. The combined structure is then cooled to ambient temperature for assembly into the final desired package. The platinum rod has a thermal coefficient of expansion of substantially 8.6�10-6 /�C., while the alumina substrate (96% alumina) has a thermal coefficient of expansion of 6 to 8�10-6 /�C. Thus, the platinum and alumina are closely matched in thermal expansion coefficients with the result that the lead-to-ceramic seal should have a long, useful life, even in the presence of substantial thermal cycling.
This same process has been carried out using a solid copper lead in place of the copper plated platinum lead. The resulting seal is not hermetic. The copper has a thermal coefficient of expansion of 17�10-6 /�C. which differs substantially from that of alumina. Consequently, the failure of the all-copper lead to produce a hermetic seal is believed to be at least partially due to contraction of the lead during cooling with a resulting fracturing of any hermetic seal initially formed. Palladium, whose thermal coefficient of expansion 11�10-6 /�C., may also be used as the core of the lead.
A lead 20' is illustrated ready for bonding in a ceramic substrate 12 in FIG. 3 in accordance with an alternative embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the lead 20' is solid platinum or palladium and is free of copper coatings of the type present in the FIG. 1 structure. The copper collar 26 is disposed in direct contact with the platinum or palladium lead 20', but no copper is present on the surface of the portion of the lead which extends into the aperture 14 in the ceramic 12. With appropriate pre-oxidation of the copper collar or the presence of an appropriate oxidizing atmosphere during passage of this structure through a direct bond temperature profile, the collar 26 produces a sufficient quantity of the copper/copper oxide liquid eutectic for that eutectic to flow into and fill the gap between the lead 22 and the ceramic substrate 12. Upon solidification, this copper/copper eutectic forms a hermetic seal between the lead 22 and the ceramic substrate 12. Once the lead is sealed to the ceramic with this eutectic, the lead and substrate appear very similar, if not identical, to the final structure when made from a copper coated lead. This is because the copper/copper oxide eutectic has a high affinity for platinum and palladium and, therefore, normally coats the surface of the platinum or palladium lead.
While the specific examples have been discussed in terms of either a platinum or a palladium lead, it will be understood that leads which are a mixture of platinum and palladium may be used as may leads which have a sufficient platinum or palladium content to provide good adherence by the copper/copper oxide eutectic in combination with a suitably low coefficient of thermal expansion. Thus, other lead materials than just platinum or palladium may be used in accordance with this invention.
This hermetic seal is unique because of the small thickness (630 microns) of the alumina substrate. It is further highly advantageous since for a 20 mil (50 micron) diameter lead, leads may be placed 30 mils (762 microns) on center, thereby providing the ability to provide extremely closely spaced hermetic feedthroughs in a package lid or other component.
While the invention has been described in detail herein in accord with certain preferred embodiments thereof, many modifications and changes therein may be effected by those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it is intended by the appended claims to cover all such modifications and changes as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

CLEVELAND: LeBron James fought a head cold to score 11 straight points in the fourth quarter and 13 of 15 overall for the Cavs, who fended off the pesky Indiana Pacers 95-92 Friday night.
James was sick enough to miss the team's morning shootaround, leaving him a game-time decision. He played through it to finish with 29 points, seven rebounds and five assists on a night the Cavs needed all of it to fend off a potential future playoff opponent.
The Pacers began the night tied with the Boston Celtics for the final playoff spot in the East and a 2-7 matchup between the Cavs and Pacers remains entirely possible. The Pacers have already beaten the Cavs twice this season and were trying to become just the second team (joining the Atlanta Hawks) to beat the Cavs three times this season. Instead the Cavs ran their home winning streak to 15 games while maintaining their hold on second place in the East.
The Cavs led 93-92 when George Hill missed a 3-pointer in the final minute, but a sloppy possession in the closing seconds left James forcing a deep 3-pointer just to beat the shot clock. James missed, but Iman Shumpert chased down the rebound and made both free throws after the Pacers were forced to foul.To read more or comment...
Cavs star LeBron James missed Friday morning's shootaround due to illness and is questionable for the 7:30 p.m. home game against the Indiana Pacers, the team said.
The Cavs are 2-9 this season without James. The last game James missed came Feb. 27 against the Pacers, when he was rested in a 93-86 loss. Kyrie Irving also was sidelined in that game due to a shoulder injury.
James is averaging 25.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 7.4 assists as he tries to make a late push for his fifth league MVP award.
The Cavs have won 14 consecutive games at Quicken Loans Arena and are outscoring opponents by an average of 16.4 points during the string. The game was thought to be a preview of a possible first-round playoff matchup, but the Pacers come in on a three-game losing streak.To read more or comment...
CLEVELAND: Twenty-six thoughts for 26 first-quarter Brooklyn points in a 117-92 win over the Nets…
1. After 12 years, two titles and four Most Valuable Player trophies, there isn't much left to nitpick about LeBron James' game. But fans (and some of those in the league) have been frustrated with his unwillingness to play in the post. He'll do it more now than he did early in his career and he showed Wednesday how devastating he can be in the right situations.
MORE: Cavaliers 117, Nets 92: Bench sparks lopsided victory
2. The Cavs have gone small a fair amount this season with great success. It happened again Wednesday when the Cavs opened the second quarter with Matthew Dellavedova, J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert to spread the floor, James in the post and Tristan Thompson at center.To read more or comment...
CLEVELAND – Kevin Love returned from a two-game absence with 10 points and 11 rebounds and the Cavaliers recovered from a sluggish start to easily handle the Brooklyn Nets Wednesday night 117-92.
LeBron James had 16 points and seven assists and Kyrie Irving had 12 points and 10 assists for the Cavs, who made 15 3-pointers and had seven players in double figures in scoring. The Cavs committed six turnovers within the game's first five minutes, allowing the Nets to race out to 22-9 lead. But the Cavs scored 30 of the game's next 38 points to take command in winning their 14th consecutive home game. It's their longest home streak since the 2008-09 season when they won 16 straight at home.
Guard J.R. Smith scored 17 points, including 14 in the second quarter, while Timofey Mozgov had 17 points, including 12 in the third. The Cavs maintain their grip on the second seed in the East and improved to an NBA-best 25-6 since Jan. 15.
The Cavs have overhauled their roster, but Nets coach Lionel Hollins simplified the changes in this team and the team prior to Jan. 15.To read more or comment...
INDEPENDENCE: Kevin Love will return to the court tonight when the Cavaliers host the Brooklyn Nets after missing the last two games to rest.
Love conceded over the weekend his back tightened up on him during Thursday's overtime win against the Spurs. He missed games at Orlando and Miami, but was adamant Wednesday the time off was not related to injury.
"Me resting had nothing to do with my back," Love said. "Just rest. Coach approached me, knew I was playing heavy minutes, just came to me and asked if I would sit a game or two. That's all it was."
That conflicts with an ESPN report that Love approached David Blatt and asked for the extra night off. Regardless, Love is ready to play again. He has missed five games this season: Two for his back, one for an eye injury and the latest two to rest.To read more or comment...
MIAMI: Fifteen thoughts for 15 shots from Kyrie Irving in a 106-92 loss to the Miami Heat….
1. The carrot has been dangling out there for weeks now. The No. 2 seed always seemed possible, even in the worst of times, and now the Cavs possess it with a two-game lead over Toronto.
MORE: Heat 106, Cavaliers 92: Lethargic Cavs end road trip with clunker against Heat
2. David Blatt has coached in countless playoff and tournament-style games, but not in the NBA. It stands to reason he'd like home-court advantage as long as possible and reaching the second seed would assure the Cavs home-court advantage in the first two rounds. So Blatt conceded Monday what the rest of us already figured.To read more or comment...
MIAMI: Maybe LeBron James should've just taken the night off after all. The Cavs can't seem to win in Miami with or without him.
James had 26 points – 16 in the fourth quarter – and the Cavs were never really competitive in what became a 106-92 loss Monday at AmericanAirlines Arena, their ninth consecutive loss in this building. The Cavs haven't beaten the Heat in Miami since 2010 when James was serving his first tour with the team.
Monday's loss was a disappointing conclusion to an otherwise successful trip. This was the final stop on the four-game swing through Texas and Florida and it was the second night of a back-to-back, although the Cavs did have two days off prior to playing the Orlando Magic on Sunday.
They were again without Kevin Love, who missed his second game in as many nights to rest. He likely wouldn't have made much difference on a night the Heat led by as many as 25 and dominated from the opening tip. The Cavs pulled within 12 a couple times in the game's final minutes, but were never a threat to tie the game or force overtime.To read more or comment...
ORLANDO, FLA.: Fifteen thoughts for 15 shots from Kyrie Irving in a 123-108 win against the Orlando Magic…
1. It wasn't that long ago when Kyrie Irving was excited for any exposure he could find. The Cavs were never on national television and most NBA fans only knew what they saw during All-Star weekend and a few random SportsCenter clips. All of that is changing. The rest of the NBA world is learning how good he can be.
MORE: Cavs 123, Magic 108: Kyrie Irving scores 33, LeBron James twists knee in victory
2. Irving followed his 57-point performance with another clinic Sunday. He shot a crazy good 12-of-15 from the floor, including 5-of-6 on 3-pointers. Even the 3 he missed nearly fell. That means Irving is shooting 68 percent in his last two games (32-of-47). That's the same percentage Michael Carter-Williams is shooting from the free-throw line this year.To read more or comment...
ORLANDO, FLA.: Kyrie Irving scored 33 points and ran his streak of consecutive 3-pointers made to 11 before missing and the Cavs beat the Orlando Magic on Sunday 123-108 without Kevin Love.
Irving started the day just as hot as he finished his 57-point performance Thursday at San Antonio, making his first four 3-point attempts Sunday before missing early in the third quarter. He fell just shy of the NBA record for consecutive 3-pointers made (13), according to Elias Sports Bureau.
LeBron James had 21 points, 13 assists and eight rebounds and J.R. Smith scored 25 points, including six 3-pointers. Love took the day off to rest, although the team said it wasn't injury related despite Love admitting his back tightened up on him during Thursday's win against the Spurs.
It was Irving's 10th game this season of 30 or more points.To read more or comment...

New Human: New Earth with Stephanie Azaria Held on Wednesday March 18, 2015 from 7pm – 8:30pm EDT…. During the Winter Season huge planetary (inner) cycles have completed and even larger ones have begun. We are transformed at every level Read more →
Since 2012 you have been undergoing one of the biggest upheavals and rebirths of your lifetime when it comes to your values, meaning what it is you truly value and how you feel about the way you are valued. It has also been working on transforming you through how you approach income, possessions and purchases. This is going to peak mid-month so you're almost home with this change in consciousness, to that end any last changes are now. The month opens with these themes finally forming a very positive alliance with work opportunities, health scenarios, co-workers, people you hire in all walks of life, any paperwork you need done, and what is going on with animals in your life. Make the most of this grand connection.
Emotions will run high as the month gets underway due to the FULL MOON in Virgo the builds to perfection by the 5th. This is about one important relationship that is peaking in some way now, with things coming through, celebrated, achieved, or wrapping up and ending. For you this means a romantic or business partner, agent or attorney, specialist or advocate, client or audience, competitor or opponent, or other key player and the details, critical thinking or criticism, work, health, paperwork, pets, hired help, or co-workers in the mix.
Mercury moves into your sign on the 12th so from now through the 30th thoughts turn to you, your needs, body, image, brand, name, title, signature, or goals. You should use this period to enter into talks, meetings, agreements, sales, writing, interviews, auditions, offers, or decisions that will bring out the most of your artistic talents, spiritual needs, romantic desires, healing, hospital needs, or research agenda.
Saturn moved into Sagittarius for the first time in 29 years back on Dec. 23rd and we all began to see what kind of testing and new level of self-mastery would be on tap for each of us during his 3 year transit here over legal, travel, educational, media, marketing, wedding, religious, or political themes. Your sign is going to see this play out over major life goals, your reputation, fame, career, or how you deal with established or authority types like a mentor, boss, parent, or judge. So you have an idea about where the limits, endings, commitments, responsibilities, or ambitions are going to play out in these matters, now on the 14th Saturn Retrogrades and things ease up, back up or slow down enough for you to get a grip on the subject and where you stand over the months ahead. Use the time to get real about what you want going forward.
The final Uranus/Pluto square arrives on the 16th and you can finally kiss this major transformational period that began back in 2012 good-bye. Perhaps not without one last major twist if needed. As I talked about at the top of your forecast, part of this is about being valued, what you value, your income, possessions, and purchases, but the other half of this involves your aspirations, friends, groups, the internet, astrology, charities, gatherings, social networking, your freedom, or original ideas. How do you feel about your needs in the situation and how do you feel about how any shared matters are playing out in sexual or intimate connections, divorce, financial arenas, mortality issues, reproductive needs, births, or third party scenarios? Evolve that last bit forward.
Venus moves into Taurus on the 17th and thoughts turn to the love, women, beauty, and income matters in your third house. Third house means these things can now play out locally or on short trips, in writing or interviews, with sales or agreements, around siblings or neighbors, with vehicles or electronics, in offers or with decisions. So speak up, you should have the magic with words now and attract a bit more easily than at other times. It's also a good to smooth things out or just enjoy.
The NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE in Pisces arrives on the 20th and will be about 'eclipsing' something out to open up a huge new playing field or fresh start for yourself. Again, this may be about you, your body, your name, title, signature, identity, image, or brand. Let the old fall away, look for ways to take who you are or what you want to the next level or out into brand new arenas. As always with Pisces the magical, spiritual, romantic, artistic, healing, hospital, or research themes will play well in this new beginning. You may also work on edging out bad habits, addictions, boundary issues, or hidden enemies as part of the new start.
The Sun moves into Aries on the 20th followed by Mercury entering Aries on the 30th. This means at first it's about you stepping into the income situation, work on purchases or deal with your possessions by showing up, getting more personally or physically involved and taking the lead over the next 30 days. With Mercury showing up you will see more talks, meetings, offers, sales, agreements, writing, interviews, auditions, and decisions getting into the mix.
The month wraps with Mars entering Taurus on the 31st for the first time in 2 years. This brings more action to your local agenda or short trips, writing or agreements, sales or offers, siblings or neighbors, vehicles or electronics, proposals or pitches, ideas and decisions over the week ahead. It's go time, you will be more passionate or angry in these areas as well so watch how that heat shows up and get ready to make things happen.

Michael Pollan has written another book that I enjoyed and found interesting. He has delved deeply into the preparation of food and what that means to me as a physical as well as social animal.
His easy delivery is a pleasure to listen to and what he is saying is fascinating.
Where he explains the chemistry of our food and how it changes as it cooks was easy to follow for a layman. The cultural significance of how and why we cook is also really interesting.
I listened to Fat,Sugar, Salt before this book and this was a good dovetail ...
It's about time we paid closer attention to what we eat
"names, places,troop strength and commanders"
This book is for the hardcore military historian who enjoys reading the statistics of a military campaign. It start with interesting overview of the regions history with an enticing nod to what happening there today, but quickly, or too quickly for me, became a monotonous compilation of what battalion was where, how many and what kind of weaponry they had and who commanded them. Mr Pritchard did a fine job in my opinion, but given the material I had to give up on this one.
"fascinating and thorough, painful narration"
When will Audible pay more attention to the narrators ability to pronounce the content of the material ? So many good or great books are painful to listen to because the reader is unfamiliar with the content and or the reader can't pronounce the names and places.
I found this the case here.
I would be very surprised if this reader had any previous experience with the material and characters.
"Enjoyed this very much"
Well worth your time . Nicely organized and presented. The "Great Courses" series has got a lot going for it. Easy to listen to and very informative.
"I enjoyed this overview"
I found this series of lectures informative, well delivered and much more interesting that I had expected. If you are looking to brush up on this fascinating and deeply interconnected period of history, or to delve into it for the first time, I think it's a good listen.
Each lecture is short, to the point and easy to reference.
The total time is not 90+ hour by the way...
Each of the 4 parts are about 6 hrs, so we're talking roughly 24 hrs of listening time.
94 is a bit extreme.
"tabloid drivel"
I should have been more careful before I used a credit on this one. It's so poorly written that I couldn't get through the first half. The claims are unsubstantiated and salacious.
National Enquirer type story ...
"Be prepared"
Not having much of a business background and unfamiliar with the jargon used on Wall Street I felt unprepared. Just a word of caution to those in a similar place as mine.
Not assume that everyone knows financial acronyms and jargon.
"save your credit"
I was disappointed by this audiobook. The title was misleading in my opinion. There were a few examples of "players,posers and excess" but an inordinate amount of the book was spent on architecture, people who didn't have anything to do with the title description and random characters. I got so tired of name dropping and uninteresting facts that I barely made it to the end.
"excellent overview"
This is the book I was looking for when I bought "Murder City" and was disappointed with the lack of factual information.
Just this morning the news reported four reporters have been killed by the Zeta cartel in the last week. This book informs the reader about, what, where, and why, to an amazing degree of detail on this frightening and very current state of chaos south of our border. It is tragic and building up into a huge mess that will affect us all sooner or later.
I found it well written, well read and very interesting.
I highly recommend it.
"Proceed with caution"
This book was fascinating, disturbing and almost too much for me to handle. Anyone interested in the perspective of World War 2 from a Nazi viewpoint will be impressed by the historical accuracy. I was riveted by most of the book but relieved when it was finished. Grover Gardner did an excellent job as always.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
A walk down history lane
Hundreds of Winnipeggers were introduced to the historic heroes, victims and villains of their neighbourhoods this weekend.
Volunteer tour guide Len Kaminski explained to 20 people taking part in Jane's Walk through the Seven Oaks neighbourhood Sunday how Chief Peguis granted settlers a strip of land along the Red River "as far as you can see under the belly of a horse" and what they did with it.
A dozen Jane's Walk tours took place in Winnipeg and 16 other North America cities this weekend. The series of free, guided neighbourhood walks aims to put people in touch with their city by bridging social and geographic gaps. In Winnipeg, more than 500 people were expected to take part.
The walks honour urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs, who championed the interests of local residents and pedestrians over a car-centered approach to planning.
Almost 50 people met to walk some of the city's oldest streets in Point Douglas. The tour of Winnipeg's "first neighbourhood" began at Ross House Museum on Meade Street, and took an eclectic crowd from the site of Vulcan Iron Works (where the 1919 strike began), to the Syndicate Street house of Sir William Stephenson (1897-1989, a much-honoured intelligence operative during the Second World War who legend has it was the real-life model for James Bond).
Jane's Walk tours are given and taken for free and led by anyone who has an interest in the neighbourhoods where they live, work or hang out. The tours offer a more personal take on the local culture, and sometimes the people taking part in the tour know a thing or two about the neighbourhood they're touring.
In Seven Oaks, Roberta Horrox showed up at the start of the tour in Kildonan Park with photos taken by her late father in the park in the 1930s.
One of Herbert Horrox's black and white images shows kids jumping off a dock into the Red River.
"It was so narrow at one time, you could wade across it," said his daughter, Roberta. Her father told her stories about crossing the river when it was much more shallow to play soccer at a field on the other side, she said.
The idyllic image of kids playing in a cleaner, calmer river is a far cry from some of the disturbing stories Kaminski shared of Seven Oaks and its many orphanages.
The Home of the Friendless west of Main Street, where the IGA store now stands, was launched by the notorious Laura Crouch who came from Kansas in 1900. The orphans and street kids who used to work in its market gardens complained of abuses and malnourishment for years until it closed in the late 1920s, he said.
Today, all that's left of the home are two trees that marked its entrance in the IGA parking lot.
The Seven Oaks walk ended on a more hopeful note, paying homage to the bravery of a Winnipeg man. A few blocks away, at 125 Scotia St., is the family home of Dr. Louis Slotin, one of the brains behind the Manhattan Project.
Slotin performed experiments with uranium and plutonium cores to determine their critical mass values. After the Second World War, Slotin continued his research at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
In 1946, Slotin accidentally began a fission reaction, which released a burst of hard radiation. Slotin shielded seven of his colleagues from the deadly radiation He was rushed to hospital, and died nine days later on May 30.
A short walk down Scotia from the Slotin family home is the riverfront memorial at Luxton Avenue dedicated to his heroism.
"People are extremely interested in learning more about where they live in a casual and fun way," said Jino Distasio, the director of the Institute of Urban Studies at the University of Winnipeg which helped organize the city's second annual Jane's Walk.
