An Incredible Two Weeks at the 2011 US Open
Australia's Sam Stosur and Serbia's Novak Djokovic might have claimed the US Open titles this year, but I feel as though I'm the true winner at the conclusion of 2011's spectacular event held at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens.
Working as a Production Assistant for USOpen.org's video crew, I had the chance to put together three of my passions: tennis, writing and research, and get paid for it! With a credential around my neck and hundreds of tennis matches to watch and to jot down notes about, I knew I'd be in for a treat as soon as I made my first trip to the tennis center. Sure, it may have taken a while to realize just how to get there (the 3 / 7 from Brooklyn or the R / 7 from Queens in case you're wondering), but I was lucky enough to have my friend Billie Weiss along for the ride (both figuratively and literally).
During my time, I met a host of incredible people, working with some I'd already know through my foray into the tennis media industry, and it was an awesome culmination of a summer filled with work in the tennis media industry.
It's been such a reward experience working for TENNIS Magazine, World TeamTennis, the Western & Southern Open and, finally, the US Open. I'm looking forward to further cultivating relationships with the fantastic people I've met this summer and contributing to these groundbreaking tennis organizations in the future.
So, what's next for me? Preparation for Oxford University and giving a little more love to this blog, Tenaciously Tennis, which has been instrumental in getting me where I am today.
For links to the articles I wrote for USOpen.org, view my online portfolio here.
Sharapova Advances to Rome Final, Beats Angry Azarenka in Quarterfinals
Maria Sharapova faced a tough test against Caroline Wozniacki before advancing to the Rome final. If she can beat Sam Stosur, Sharapova will claim her first title since her 2010 Strausborg title.
With the win over Wozniacki, Sharapova has solidified her head-to-head over the world number one to 3-2. She beat her 7-5, 6-3.
A dramatic display of contained power, the Russian even fell on the red clay before eventually taking over the set and the match. As Tennis.com's Bobby Chintapelli put it, "Sharapova, a self-described 'cow on ice,' perhaps turning too quickly or stepping incorrectly, fell hard and fast and completely. She lay there for a few seconds, all 6'2" of her sprawled out on the red clay. Then she got up and went on to win—and did both without as much fuss as you'd expect."
And the drama didn't even begin there for the 24-year old Sharapova. Her match against Victoria Azarenka in the quarterfinals proved just as nail-biting.
Apparently, the Belarussian said "f—ing bitch" during her 4-6, 3-0 loss as she retired due to an elbow injury. It was unclear, however, whether the words were meant for Sharapova. Azarenka's remarks prompted a posting of the following statement on her twitter account: "Very sad and tough day for me. Very hard to retire like this. Said some things to myself on the match that I'm not proud of. But it was just being mad at myself. Will never refer anything to my opponent. I play with respect to every single player. I apologize if there was a misunderstanding of that situation."
This was the 10th time that Azarenka has retired in a match since the beginning of the 2010 season, according to a report from Tennis.com.
For a video of Azarenka's outburst, watch below.
Safina's Talk of Retirement: A Thing of the Past?
So, apparently, Russia's Dinara Safina contemplated retiring after the embarrassing 6-0, 6-0 loss to Kim Clijsters at this year's Australian Open. Big deal, right? I mean, these days, the ladies are either injured — think the Williams sisters — or they're, well, finished — think Elena Dementieva and Justine Henin.
She recently told reporters that "After Australia there was a moment I came to Moscow for the Fed Cup. I said to my mom [Rausa], 'I'm retiring. I said, 'I don't want any more of this." Apparently, momma Safina helped talk her daughter out of the decision, although the two don't usually talk tennis.
Safina continued, "That moment I felt like [mom] was the person who knows me. That I could really speak it out what I have deep inside, and that was the thing with her. I knew it would also hurt her, but I cannot keep it anymore inside. So I went to her. She was the closest one for me."
After that, the Cinderella story happens, and Safina finds herself in the third round of these year's Indian Well tournament. She's had modest success on the hard courts of Cali, making it to the quarters both in '06 and '09. Now, her play here is pretty impressive for a woman who hasn't put together two consecutive wins since September.
With Sam Stosur up next, the 108th player in the world will face a tough test. After being on the brink of retirement and with nothing to lose, however, an upset might just be in store.

Petra Kvitova: The WTA's Next Big Star?
With her recent straight sets win over the newest world number one Kim Clijsters in the Paris final, Petra Kvitova looks sharp. Her game is big, her form is on, and the 20-year old has the results to prove the hype.
Currently ranked a career-high 18th (and on an upward trend with the win in Paris), Kvitova made the quarterfinals of the Australian Open this year, reaffirming her semifinal showing at the 2010 Wimbledon as something more than a fluke. She took out Sam Stosur in the Sunny Slam, before falling to Vera Zvonareva a couple rounds later as the tournament's 25th seed. She also started the year with a bang, winning the Brisbane title over Andrea Petkovic. A title in Hobart in 2009 rounds off the successes of her young career.
In a WTA that's had some recent problems with intensity, spurred on by Serena Williams' foot injury, the retirements of Elena Dementieva and Justine Henin, a slew of world number ones that went without a major, and more, this year's Australian Open proved a welcome contrast. With Na Li representing China in the event's final and strong play from up-and-comers, like Kvitova, the tour looks poised for a bright present, and a brighter future.
Kvitova seems to symbolize that future.
For a sampling of her play, check out this clip from the Aussie Open third round below.
Clijsters Wins Second Straight US Open Title
For the second time in two years and her third time overall, Kim Clijsters of Belgium won on tennis' biggest stage: the US Open. She beat Vera Zvonareva handily in a 6-2-, 6-1 drubbing. In fact, the match didn't even last an hour. Clijsters closed out the shaky Zvonareva in only 59 minutes.
Along with her $1.7 million in prize money for notching the victory, Clijsters took home an additional $500,000 for taking second place in the US Open Series, a tune-up for the year's final major. During the series of tournaments, Clijsters defeated Maria Sharapova in Cincinnati.
On Clijsters' way to the win, she breezed through a tough section of the draw, including defeating strong players as Wimbledon semifinalist Petra Kvitova and a resurgent Ana Ivanovic in straight sets. In the quarters, she faced a tougher challenge in the French Open finalist Sam Stosur, who she beat in three sets: 6-4, 5-7, 6-3. In the semifinals, she faced Venus Williams, also needing three close sets to advance: 4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-4.
Clijsters is a joy to watch with her powerful shot-making, her counter-punching defensive skills, which she switches so quickly in between points, her finesse, and famous splits. Plus, off-court, her manner shines just as brightly. Clijsters is a true champion, and it's impressive how successful she's been this past year.
Regarding Zvonareva, does anyone get the feeling that a comparison between her and the three-time Grand Slam finalist Dinara Safina might be in order? She's done well to make to two consecutive finals, but if her mental game doesn't raise another notch, she might find herself in the same position as her currently suffering compatriot.
Granted, she's faced Serena Williams and Clijsters in her two final showings, but in both she was easily hit off the court. After beating the top seed Caroline Wozniacki in the semis 6-4, 6-3, it looked like the final would be more dramatic play-wise. Zvonareva, however, mentally checked out mid-match — she chucked her racket, got down on herself angry, and double-faulted away the final — in an ugly kind of drama.
And so, congratulations once again to Clijsters for an excellent tournament. It'll be interesting to see how the world number three finishes the season, especially at the year-ending championships in Doha at the end of October.
Vandeweghe Victorious Against Zvonareva
In an excellent upset for teenager Coco Vandeweghe, the American stunned the Wimbledon finalist Vera Zvonareva 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 in the second round of the Mercury Insurance Open to get to the quarterfinals. Until this point, Vandeweghe, currently ranked 205, has lost 13 of her 15 WTA matches. To make it to her match against Zvonareva, she won three qualifying matches.
This big win could very well be a career-changer. If Vandeweghe can continue to hold the belief and consistency that won her the match, she has a strong chance to be a top player in the future. While she lost in the quarterfinals against her next opponent, a player prone to choking, Svetlana Kuznetsova, things are looking up for the young American.
Kuznetsova beat Vandeweghe 7-5, 6-2 to get to the semifinals. It's a strong result for the Russian, who barely got through her match against Sara Errani of Italy in the second round. After winning the first set easily, she slid through 6-1, 5-7 (5), 7-5.
Kuznetsova hasn't had a good year until making the semifinals of this tournament. The two-time Grand Slam champion couldn't perform in her attempt to defend her 2009 French Open title — she lost in the third round. At Wimbledon, the Russian succumbed in the second round, dropping her ranking outside the top twenty (she's now ranked 21st). If she continues this mediocre track record at the majors, she'll find her way outside the top 20 for the first time in seven years when the year-end rankings are announced. It's a big slip, indeed.
While I haven't seen Vandeweghe play since her match against Ekaterina Bychkova in the first round of US Open qualifying last year, I think the confidence from beating Zvonareva and holding her own against Kuznetsova will get her far in the match-up. Even if she doesn't come out the victor, she should see a bump in the rankings and a good chance to win a few more matches before the US Open.
Zvonareva, known for her emotional outbursts, reportedly cried during her press conference after the match. She's quoted: "I don't think she surprised me. I've seen her play before. It's more that I surprised myself. I started pretty good and then I just started playing stupid. I didn't change anything, I just kept playing stupid."
The semifinals of the event are as follows: Agnieszka Radwanska versus Daniela Hantuchova and Kuznetsova against Flavia Pennetta, who beat Sam Stosur 6-4, 6-3. I see Radwanska taking the title of the four — she's the most consistent, and I believe the most mentally tough.
In other headlines:
- John Isner lost to Xavier Malisse in Washington, joining Sam Querrey. Malisse defeated him 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (5) in the third round of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic.
- Joining these two in a big surprise upset: Andy Roddick, the tournament's second seed. He lost in a lopsided 6-3, 6-3. Said Roddick of the match: "It was just a bad night. I don't really have any defense for it. I didn't feel right physically. I didn't feel right mentally. I wish I had answers for you right now, but I just don't. I promise you, I'm going to figure this out before I do that again."
- Both Lleyton Hewitt and Venus Williams pulled out of their next events. Hewitt will be out of the Toronto Masters with a calf strain, while Venus cited knee pain.

I bet the asshats doing all that laughing in the background shit themselves!
Too awesome!
initially planned to use Ghost Hawks, highly classified helicopters nicknamed "Jedi rides" that emit zero electromagnetic radiation and are invisible to radar.Wow.
However they were replaced with older Stealth Hawks after the White House abandoned plans to have F-18 "hornet" jets fly patrols over the helicopters and it was deemed too much of a risk that the Ghost technology would fall into enemy hands.
Read it all here.A Red Arrows pilot has become the second team member to die in a matter of weeks after he was ejected from his aircraft while it was on the ground.
Pictures from the scene at RAF Scampton, in Lincolnshire, shows part of the canopy of the Hawk T1 jet is missing.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman said an investigation was under way and confirmed the plane was not airborne when the tragedy happened at 11am on Tuesday.
The pilot was airlifted to Lincoln County Hospital, but his injuries were so severe he could not be saved. His family have been informed and he is due to be named on Wednesday.

So, the leather seats in this '97' are in pretty bad shapes with several tears on each seat. What is the most economical option of addressing it? Seat covers? Repair? I don't want it to look cheap but, it seems like recovering them all doesn't make sense either. -mx
Most likely the cheapest way would be seat covers. MarathonSeatCovers.com have good fitting, durable seat covers. If there more than you want to spend take a look at CoverCraft.com
Maybe not what you are looking for, but... I did a $1.00 improvement on my grey leather seats. They were cracked and split all over the place. The white and tan stuffing and backing was showing through. I took a can of walmart spray primer and sprayed it in all the cracks, then immediately came back with a towel that was slightly damp with paint thinner and wiped it off any area where it got on the leather. Now the cracks are all the same color grey as the leather and it looks better... not great, but better. And, it only cost me a buck! I figure I'll eventually recover the seats, so I didn't mind testing out this crazy idea. Luckily it worked with no negative side effects! I was worried about the paint rubbing off on my butt, but it doesn't. And it really does look better! I'd say it took the seats (on a scale from 1 to 10) from a 2 or 3 to a 5.
$700.00 for seat covers seams a little extream, but they are Cordora and that means bullet proofs, I guess the question would be, in the end do you want leather or tuff seat covers that will probably last as long as the truck? Terry
You may also want to look into adding heated seats! I've had them in previous cars and miss them a lot.
No kidding, my son had an F-150 with heated leather seats, I did not think the seats in the Ford were all that comfortable, but in the winter the heat was way nice, my Suburban has leather but not heated and like janikphoto said I miss them, I wonder if they can be added. Terry
you can add them to just about any car seat. Go to a local auto interior shop and have them quote you for new leather and heated seats...
After reading this thread, I went looking, I found some after market heaters, watched the install videos it looked simple enough, my seats are in great shape, just no heat. Thanks Terry P.S. Sorry for hijacking the thread.
Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I am probably going to find some reasonable covers. I am just trying to get this car ready to sell and this seems to make the most sense. -mx

This is not news: .Net framework 2.0 will have 64 bit edition. As expected, Microsoft only support 64 bit chips from Intel And AMD. Namely, IA64 Architecture and AMD64 Architecture.
You can download .Net framework 2.0 beta1 for IA64 and x64 now from microsoft.com:
.NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package Beta 1 (IA64)
.NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package Beta 1 (x64)
The size of the 64 bit redist is almost double of x86's redist. This is because 64 bit redist contains both the 64 bit runtime, as well as the 32 bit runtime.
64 bit Windows has a special feature called "Windows on Windows" (WOW), http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/win64/win64/running_32_bit_applications.asp. This is the way to run 32 bit applications unmodified (in most cases) in 64 bit Windows.
The 64 bit .Net framework 2.0 redist will install both the 64 bit runtime, as well as 32 bit runtime. 64 bit framework is installed to %windir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework64 directory, and 32 bit framework is installed to %windir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework directory.
In theory all .Net assemblies are compiled to Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL). So there should have no need for 32 bit runtime in 64 bit Windows.
Unfortunately there are Mananged C++ assemblies (so called IJW assemblies), which contain MSIL code, as well as assembly code. If the assembly contains x86 assembly code, it cannot run under 64 bit mode.
And there are 32 bit applications hosting CLR. Those applications can't use 64 bit CLR.
So we have to ship both 64 bit CLR, and 32 bit CLR, in 64 bit Windows.
Back to Managed C++ assemblies. If the assembly developer wants to let both 64 bit application and 32 bit application to use the assembly, the developer has to ship two copies of the assembly, one for 64 bit, one for 32 bit (In fact, the developer will have to provide one assembly for each processor architecture). What distinguish the two assemblies, is the new assembly attribute --- ProcessorArchitecture.
If you run "gacutil -L" on .Net framework 2.0 beta1, you will see outputs like this:
mscorlib, Version=2.0.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, ProcessorArchitecture=x86
System, Version=2.0.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=MSIL
Every assembly compiled with .Net framework 2.0 will have ProcessorArchitecture. There are four ProcessorArchitecture defined today: x86, MSIL, IA64, and AMD64. Assemblies with ProcessorArchitecture of x86, IA64 and AMD64 is called platform specific. They can only run under the specific platforms. Assemblies with ProcessorArchitecture of MSIL are portable and can run under any platform.
Assemblies compiled with .Net framework 1.0 and 1.1 will not have ProcessorArchitecture. In 64 bit Windows they can only run in 32 bit mode.
Managed C++ assemblies are automatically platform specific. By default C#/VB.NET/Jscript.Net assemblies are compiled as MSIL. But all the compilers (csc.exe/vbc.exe/jsc.exe) provide a command line option to allow you to force compile the assembly as platform specific (See documentation of each compiler, look for /platform). In Visual Studio, in build tab under Project properties, you can specify which platform this assembly wants to support.
When do you want to compile your assemblies as platform specific?

All content below is taken in its entirety from the CDC Inactivated Influenza Vaccine Information Statement (VIS): http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/flulive.html
CDC review information for Inactivated Influenza VIS:
Content source: National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases
Why Get Vaccinated?
Influenza ("flu") is a contagious disease that spreads around the United States every winter, usually between October and May.
Flu is caused by influenza viruses, and is spread mainly by coughing, sneezing, and close contact.
Anyone can get flu, but the risk of getting flu is highest among children. Symptoms come on suddenly and may last several days. They can include:
Flu can make some people much sicker than others. These people include young children, people 65 and older, pregnant women, and people with certain health conditions – such as heart, lung or kidney disease, nervous system disorders, or a weakened immune system. Flu vaccination is especially important for these people, and anyone in close contact with them.
Flu can also lead to pneumonia, and make existing medical conditions worse. It can cause diarrhea and seizures in children. Each year, thousands of people in the United States die from flu, and many more are hospitalized.
Flu vaccine is the best protection against flu and its complications. Flu vaccine also helps prevent spreading flu from person to person.
Live, Attenuated Flu Vaccine - LAIV, Nasal Spray
You are getting a live, attenuated influenza vaccine (called LAIV), which is sprayed into the nose. "Attenuated" means weakened. The viruses in the vaccine have been weakened so they won't give you the flu.
There are other "inactivated" and "recombinant" flu vaccines that do not contain live virus. These "flu shots" are given by injection with a needle. Injectable flu vaccines are described in a separate Vaccine Information Statement.
Flu vaccination is recommended every year. Some children from 6 months through 8 years of age might need two doses during one year.
Flu viruses are always changing. Each year's flu vaccine is made to protect against viruses that are likely to cause disease that year. LAIV protects against 4 different influenza viruses. Flu vaccine cannot prevent all cases of flu, but it is the best defense against the disease.
It takes about 2 weeks for protection to develop after vaccination, and protection lasts several months to a year.
Some illnesses that are not caused by influenza virus are often mistaken for flu. Flu vaccine will not prevent these illnesses. It can only prevent influenza.
LAIV may be given to people from 2 through 49 years of age. It may safely be given at the same time as other vaccines.
LAIV does not contain thimerosal or other preservatives.
Some People Should Not Get This Vaccine
Tell the person who gives you the vaccine:
You should get the flu shot instead of the nasal spray if you:
The person giving you the vaccine can give you more information.
Risks of a Vaccine Reaction
With a vaccine, like any medicine, there is a chance of side effects. These are usually mild and go away on their own.
Problems that could happen after any vaccine:
Mild problems that have been reported following LAIV:
Children and adolescents 2-17 years of age:
Adults 18-49 years of age:
LAIV is made from weakened virus and does not cause flu.
As with any medicine, there is a very remote chance of a vaccine causing a serious injury or death. The safety of vaccines is always being monitored. For more information, visit: www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/
What If There is a Serious Reaction?
What should I look for?
What should I do?
VAERS does not give medical advice.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a federal program that was created to compensate people who may have been injured by certain vaccines.
Persons who believe they may have been injured by a vaccine can learn about the program and about filing a claim by calling 1-800-338-2382 or visiting the VICP website at www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation. There is a time limit to file a claim for compensation.
How can I learn more?

Characterizing Behavioural Congruences for Petri Nets

Download (236Kb) |
We exploit a notion of interface for Petri nets in order to design a set of net combinators. For such a calculus of nets, we focus on the behavioural congruences arising from four simple notions of behaviour, viz., traces, maximal traces, step, and maximal step traces, and from the corresponding four notions of bisimulation, viz., weak and weak step bisimulation and their maximal versions. We characterize such congruences via universal contexts and via games, providing in such a way an understanding of their discerning powers.

Join Us On Mother's Day >>
Dr. Charles and Barbara Smithen founded Sherwood House Vineyards in the mid-1990s after a lifelong dream of living among vineyards. The vineyard is located in Mattituck, NY, on the North Fork of Long Island, one of the better known wine-growing regions in New York state.Sherwood House is located in a wonderful spot for grape growing, with gentle, north-south facing slopes and a bit of tree coverage. The area gets plenty of air and water drainage, which is important for the health of the vines. We'll be getting Merlot grapes from Sherwood House for our Fall 2011 harvest, but we should also note that they make their own estate wines with the fruit that they grow…practically in our own backyard. Local fiends will love making wine with this lovely locally grown fruit!

Raytheon engineering fellow to discuss nuclear forensics at URI seminar March 16
Media Contact:
Dave Lavallee
, 401-874-5862
KINGSTON, R.I. – March 12, 2007 – An engineering fellow with Raytheon Co.'s Integrated Defense Systems will address the University of Rhode Island's Forensic Science Seminar Series Friday, March 16.
Michael V. Hynes, who has served as a senior nuclear weapons physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and a policy analyst at Rand Corp. on the dynamics of global nuclear terrorism, will speak from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at Pastore Hall, 51 Lower College Road, Room 124. His talk on nuclear forensics is free and open to the public.
His responsibilities at Raytheon include turning his counterterrorism policy recommendations into practice.
Hynes began at Raytheon after almost 10 years as a policy and technology analyst at Rand, a nonprofit think tank based in Santa Monica, Calif. that helps improve policy and decision-making through research and analysis. His analytical work there included mapping the pathways a terrorist group would take in pursuit of a nuclear weapon, as well as the resources needed to detect such a program. He also worked to apply modern network analysis techniques to understanding the vulnerabilities of terrorist and insurgent networks and strategies for attacking these vulnerabilities.
Before Rand, he worked at Los Alamos for 15 years where he conducted a wide variety of basic and applied research projects in the Nuclear Weapons Testing Program, and at nuclear and particle physics facilities around the world. Hynes has served as a technical consultant to the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks and as the executive officer of the Los Alamos Nonproliferation Task Force.
He earned his bachelor's degree and his doctorate in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He earned his master's degree in management from MIT as well.
Hynes has authored 50 publications in refereed technical literature, as well as 15 classified articles and reports.

Major New Retail Center Planned for Tiverton, R.I.
Borders Books, Talbots, Filene's, and Eastern Mountain Sports are among proposed tenants as New England Development plans a major shopping center that could turn Tiverton into a retail destination, rivaling some Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts shopping hot spots.
There would be 450,000 square feet of retail, dining and "community space" on 72 acres off Souza Road, just north of the Rhode Island-to-Boston Route 24 corridor, under New England Development's top proposal. Based in Newton, Mass., New England Development has developed everything from two exclusive Nantucket inns -- the Wauwinet and the White Elephant -- to several shopping centers, to airport retail centers in New York's LaGuardia International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport.
But theirs is not the only shopping proposal, nor the largest. Another developer, New England Properties Holdings, plans 700,000 square feet of retail on 90 acres of Fish Road industrial park, near the police station and just south of Route 24. Their concept is to include at most three large stores, and some 25 smaller stores, said James Karam, president of First Bristol Corp. and one of the partners in the development.

Frank "Shorty" Harris
excerpt from: The best strike I ever made was in 1904 when I discovered the Rhyolite and Bullfrog district. I went into Boundary Canyon with five burros and plenty of grub, figuring to look over the country northeast from there. When I stopped at Keane Wonder Mine, Ed Cross was there waiting for his partner, Frank Howard, to bring some supplies from the inside. For some reason Howard had been delayed, and Cross was low on grub. So we left the Keane Wonder, went through Boundary Canyon, and made camp at Buck Springs, five miles from a ranch on the Amargosa where a squaw man by the name of Monte Beatty lived. The next morning while Ed was cooking, I went after the burros. They were feeding on the side of a mountain near our camp, and about half a mile from the spring. I carried my pick, as all prospectors do, even when they are looking for their jacks—a man never knows just when he is going to locate pay-ore. When I reached the burros, they were right on the spot where the Bullfrog mine was afterwards located. Two hundred feet away was a ledge of rock with some copper stains on it. I walked over and broke off a piece with my pick—and gosh, I couldn't believe my own eyes. The chunks of gold were so big that I could see them at arm's length—regular jewelry stone! In fact, a lot of that ore was sent to jewelers in this country and England, and they set it in rings, it was that pretty! Right then, it seemed to me that the whole mountain was gold. I let out a yell, and Ed knew something had happened; so he came running up as fast as he could. When he got close enough to hear, I yelled again: "Ed we've got the world by the tail, or else we're coppered!" We broke off several more pieces, and they were like the first—just lousy with gold. The rock was green, almost like turquoise, spotted with big chunks of yellow metal, and looked a lot like the back of a frog. This gave us an idea for naming our claim, so we called it the Bullfrog. The formation had a good dip, too. It looked like a real fissure vein; the kind that goes deep and has lots of real stuff in it. We hunted over the mountain for more outcroppings, but there were no other like that one the burros led me to. We had tumbled into the cream pitcher on the first one—so why waste time looking for skimmed milk? That night we built a hot fire with greasewood, and melted the gold out of the specimens. We wanted to see how much was copper, and how much was the real stuff. And when the pan got red hot, and the gold ran out and formed a button, we knew that our strike was a big one, and that we were rich. "How many claims do you figure on staking out?" Ed asked me. After the monuments were placed, we got some more rich samples, and went to the county seat to record our claim. Then we marched into Goldfield, and went to an eating-house. Ed finished his meal before I did, and went out into the street where he met Bob Montgomery, a miner that both of us knew. Ed showed him a sample of our ore, and Bob couldn't believe his eyes. "Where did you get that?" he asked. That seemed to be proof enough for him, and he went away in a hurry to get his outfit together—one horse and a cart to haul his tools and grub. He had an Indian with him by the name of Shoshone Johnny, who was a good prospector. Later on, it was this Indian who set the monuments on the claim that was to become the famous Montgomery-Shoshone Mine. It's a might strange thing how fast the news of a strike travels. You can go into a town after you've made one, meet a friend on the street, and take him into your hotel room and lock the door. Then, after he has taken a nip from your bottle, you can whisper the news very softly in his ear. Before you can get out on the street, you'll see men running around like excited ants that have had a handful of sugar poured on their nest. Ed and I didn't try to keep our strike a secret, but we were surprised how the news of it spread. Men swarmed around us and asked to see our specimens. They took one look at them, and then started off on the run to get their outfits together. I've seen some gold rushes in my time that were hummers, but nothing like that stampede. Men were leaving town in a steady stream with buckboards, buggies, wagons and burros. It looked like the whole population of Goldfield was trying to move at once. Miners who were working for the big companies dropped their tools and got ready to leave town in a hurry. Timekeepers and clerks, waiters and cooks—they all got he fever and milled around, wild-eyed, trying to find a way to get out to the new "strike." In a little while there wasn't a horse or wagon in town, outside of a few owned by the big companies, and the price of burros took a big jump. I saw one man who was about ready to cry because he couldn't buy a jackass for $500. A lot of fellows loaded their stuff on two-wheeled carts—grub, tools, and cooking utensils, and away they went across the desert, two or three pulling a cart and the pots and pans rattling. When all the carts were gone, men who didn't have anything else started out on that seventy-five mile hike with wheelbarrows; and a lot of 'em made it alright—but they had a hell of a time! When Ed and I got back to our claim a week later, more than a thousand men were camped around it, and they were coming in every day. A few had tents, but most of 'em were in open camps. One man had brought a wagon load of whiskey, pitched a tent, and made a bar by laying a plank across two barrels. He was serving the liquor in tincups, and doing a fine business. That was the start of Rhyolite, and from then on things moved so fast that it made even us oldtimers dizzy. Men were swarming all over the mountains like ants, staking out claims, digging and blasting, and hurrying back to the county seat to record their holdings. There were extensions on all sides of our claim, and other claims covering the country in all directions. In a few days, wagon loads of lumber began to arrive, and the first buildings were put up. These were called rag-houses because they were half boards and half canvas. But this building material was so expensive that lots of men made dugouts, which didn't cost much more than plenty of sweat and blisters. Bids for our property got better and better. The man who wanted to buy would treat with plenty of liquor before he talked business, and in that way, I got all I wanted to drink without spending a bean. Ed was wiser, though, and let the stuff alone—and it paid him to do it too, for when he did sell, he got much more for his half than I got for mine. One night, when I was pretty well lit up, a man by the name of Bryan took me to his room and put me to bed. The next morning, when I woke up, I had a bad headache and wanted more liquor. Bryan had left several bottles of whiskey on a chair beside the bed, and locked the door. I helped myself, and went back to sleep. That was the start of the longest jag I ever went on; it lasted six days. When I came to, Bryan showed me a bill of sale for the Bullfrog, and the price was only $25,000. I got plenty sore, but it didn't do any good. There was my signature on the paper and beside it, the signatures of seven witnesses and the notary's seal. And I felt a lot worse when I found out that Ed had been paid a hundred and twenty five thousand for his half, and had lit right out for Lone Pine, where he got married. Today he's living in San Diego County, has a fine ranch, and is very well fixed. As soon as I got the money, I went out for a good time. All the girls ate regularly while old Shorty had the dough. As long as my stake lasted I could move and keep the band playing. And friends—I never knew I had so many! They'd jam a saloon to the doors, and every round of drinks cost me thirty or forty dollars. I'd have gone clean through the pay in a few weeks if Dave Driscol hadn't given me hell. Dave and I had been partners in Colorado and Utah, and I thought a great deal of him. Today he's living over in Wildrose Canyon, and going blind. Well, I had seven or eight thousand left when Dave talked to me. Rhyolite grew like a mushroom. Gold Center was started four miles away, and Beatty's ranch became a town within a few months. There were 12,000 people in the three places, and two railroads were built out to Rhyolite. Shipments of gold were made every day, and some of the ore was so rich that it was sent by express with armed guards. And then a lot of cash came into Rhyolite—more than went out from the mines. It was this sucker money that put the town on the map quick. The stock exchange was doing a big business, and I remember that the price of Montgomery-Shoshone got up to ten dollars a share. Business men of Rhyolite were live ones, alright. They decided to make the town the finest in Nevada—and they came mighty near doing it. Overbury built a three-story office building out of cut stone—it must have cost him fifty thousand. The bank building had three stories too, and the bank was finished with marble and bronze. There were plenty of other fine business houses, and a railroad station that would look mighty good in any city. Money was easy to get and easy to spend in those days. The miners and muckers threw it right and left when they had it. Many a time I've seen 'em eating bacon and beans, and drinking champagne. Wages were just a sideline with them—most of their money was made in mining stock. Rhyolite was a great town, and no mistake—as live as the Colorado camps were thirty years before, but not so bad. We had a few gunfights, and several tough characters got their light shot out, which didn't make the rest of us sore. We were glad enough to spare 'em. I saw some of those fights myself, but I never took any part in the fireworks. "Shorty, the foot racer" was what they called me because I always ducked around the corner when the bullets began to fly. I knew they were not meant for me; but I wasn't taking any chances. There was plenty of gold in those mountains when I discovered the original Bullfrog, and there's plenty there yet. A lot of it was taken out while Rhyolite was going strong—$6,000,000 or $7,000,000—but they quit before they got the best of it. Stock speculation—that's what killed Rhyolite! The promoters got impatient. They figured that money could be made faster by getting gold from the pockets of suckers than by digging it out of the hills. And so, when the operators of the Montgomery-Shoshone had a little trouble; when they ran into water and struck a sulphite ore which is refactory, and has to be cut and roasted to be turned into money—the bottom dropped out of the stock market and the town busted wide open, She died quick, too. Most of the tin horns lit out for other parts, and that's a sure sign a mining camp is going on the rocks. If the right people ever got hold of Rhyolite they'll make a killing; but they'll have to be real hard rock miners, and not the kind that do their work only on paper. Rhyolite is dead now—dead as she was before I made the big strike. Those fine buildings are standing out there on the desert, with the coyotes and jackrabbits playing hide and seek around them. |

WOW. I love peanut butter, and I LOVE this cheesecake. This is by far the best peanut butter dessert I've ever tasted. I used a full cup of peanut butter (instead of 3/4 cup) and poured the mixture into a Oreo crust (to save some time). I've had the best results as far as texture by cooking it for about 45 minutes or until it is golden on the edges and soft in the middle. Then I turn off the heat and crack the oven door and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating. If you like peanut butter, you'll love this cheesecake!
my family hated this, to peanut buttery, I thought it was ok, wont make again.

This was SOOOO delicious & SOOOO easy to make! I made it for a friend that I work with and EVERYONE loved it! Easy, easy, easy to make. I put all ingredients in my food processor and poured it over the crust to bake. It freezes well also. Just one tip - let the top of it cool then spread with a thin layer of peanut butter and top off with crushed peanuts & a handful of mini chocolate chips for a nice, finshed presentation! ENJOYED THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
As I type, I am indulging in another piece of this FANTASTIC cheesecake!! Wow. On our first date (wedding day too) my husband and I shared a piece of cheesecake like this that was made by a dessert shop in our area. It holds special memories and we try and have one on special occasions /anniversaries. But after 14 years of marriage, their little 5 inch cheesecake at $30 bucks a pop, started adding up! I didn't want to buy one this year so, I turned to my favorite friend, Allrecipes! I stumbled upon this recipe and I'm SOOO glad! This one, as my husband states, is even better than the 'Affairs' cheesecake!!!! As far as particulars, I took the advice of previous reviewers (thx!!) and used the 1 1/2 c. crushed chocolate wafers and 6 T. melted butter crust - a MUST! I also used the mini chocolate chips (1 1/2 c.). I baked it for the recommended time 45-50 minutes and then turned the oven off, cracked the door and brought it to room temp. in there. Then I chilled it. Make sure you chill it for the recommended time (key to good cheesecake), if not over night. Otherwise, you'll have a soft center. This is the best recipe. Thanks so much!!!!!
I got great reviews from this cheesecake. With an excess of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups left over from Halloween, I cut up about 25 of them and put them in the cheesecake instead of choc. chips. I also used chocolate graham cracker crumbs instead of regular, and no peanuts in the crust. I didn't add the 3/4 cup of butter to the crust either, only 1/3 cup. This was so delicious!! Topped the cheesecake with whipped cream and chopped PB cups.
This little cheesecake earn higher praise and brighter smiles than I ever thought possible from a dessert. I used the Chocolate Wafer Crust from this site (1.5 cups chocolate wafers/6 tbsp butter) and 1 1/3 cups of mini chocolate chips. The edges were already getting dark after 35 min, so I turned the oven off and left the door open. Consistency was perfect, very minimal cracking. Topped the cooled cheesecake with a thin layer of peanut butter, toasted chopped nuts, and sparse mini chocolate chips as suggested. This cheesecake was actually good enough to spark controversy for me at work: apparently people were offended when I tried to pass off store-bought baked goods (this cheesecake)as my own--- HA!
Simply wonderful!! I omitted the water bath and it turned out just fine - no cracks! I also added chopped peanut butter cups instead of chocloate chips. I have made this cheesecake maybe five or six times now, and it ALWAYS gets rave reviews!!
WOW! Just made this cheesecake for our Father's Day gathering - took the suggestions of other reviewers - 2 cups oreo crumbs with 1/3 cup melted butter for the crust, instead of chocolate chips I cut up 25 peanut butter cups for the filling, and added the "icing" of a thin layer of peanut butter, chopped peanuts and more cut up peanut butter cups. I was told (and I agreed) that it was the best cheesecake anyone had ever tasted...I may have to go into business for myself!! Thanks so much for an absolutely dee-lish hit!

The use of nitric oxide donors in pharmacological studies
Feelisch, Martin (1998) The use of nitric oxide donors in pharmacological studies. Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 358, (1), 113-122. (doi:10.1007/PL00005231). (PMID:9721012).
Full text not available from this repository.
A growing appreciation of the involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in numerous bioregulatory pathways has not only opened up new therapeutic avenues for organic nitrates and other NO donors but also led to an increased use of such compounds in pharmacological studies. By definition, all NO donors produce NO-related activity when applied to biological systems and are thus principally suited to either mimic an endogenous NO-related response or substitute for an endogenous NO deficiency. However, the pathways leading to enzymatic and/or non-enzymatic formation of NO differ greatly among individual compound classes, as do their chemical reactivities and kinetics of NO release. Moreover, since the reaction of NO with oxygen is a function of its concentration, the same absolute amounts of NO generated over different periods of time may lead to substantially different rates of NOx formation and, consequently, to varying extents of side reactions, such as nitration and/or nitrosation of biomolecules. Matters are further complicated by compound-specific formation of by-products, which may arise during decomposition or metabolism, sometimes in amounts far exceeding those of NO. The term "NO donor" implies that the compound releases the active mediator, NO. Ultimately, this may be true for many different chemical classes of compound, since the principal NO-related species generated may be converted to NO, if not directly released as such. However, in a biological system, the redox form of nitrogen monoxide (NO+, NO. or NO-) that is actually released makes a substantial difference to the NO donor's reactivity towards other biomolecules, the profile of by-products, and the bioresponse. Such considerations are likely to account for much of the discrepancy in experimental results obtained using the same cell or tissue preparation but different NO mimetics. Thus, compound selection is not a trivial issue and the investigator should be aware of the key properties and differences between various NO donor classes in order to avoid misinterpretation of experimental results.

Bike Hugger @ Flanders
0by Byron on Apr 06, 2009 at 9:58 AM
Reader Minnesotafats sent us a photo from Ronde van Vlaanderen.
That's a Hugga Wool Tee and what a great race Flanders was.
The classics are what got me into the sport. Sure, I knew about the Tour, but watching grainy videos in a bike shop and hearing legendary stories of these races is what amazed me. To see these hard men, grind over cobbles, with brute force I found more interesting than the finesse, climbing, and time-trialing of the Tour. George Hincapie said as much in his Versus interview before the start.
Someday we hope to blog up a Classic.

The influence of prepregnancy body mass index on labor complications. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 10535344 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: To investigate the influence of Body Mass Index on the incidence of labor complications in a population of women with a normal pregnancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From a local database, information on maternal weight and height was extracted concerning 4258 women who had an uncomplicated pregnancy. After calculation and stratification with respect to Body Mass Index, this was retrospectively related to labor interventions and complications. RESULTS: High Body Mass Index was related to more oxytocin infusion and early amniotomy, but not to vacuum extraction or cesarean section. Primary inertia and, to a minor degree, cephalopelvic disproportion and secondary inertia were seen more often in women with high Body Mass Index. CONCLUSIONS: Overweight (25.0<=BMI<30.0) and obesity (BMI>=30.0) are only weak predictors of labor complications, given a normal pregnancy. However, the heavy use of labor augmentation indicates that obese women should not be recommended to give birth in an ABC-clinic or at home. |

2002 jeep grand cherokee 4" lift kit
Im looking to put a 4" lift kit on my 02 grand cherokee. My questions are for recommendations on brand. Perferrably a kit that comes with everything in it and if I do install a 4" kit will I have to change anything else on the jeep.
Also want to install 15" wheels will they fit on an 02 grand? Any feedback would be great. Thanks |

The 4" kits out there, don't come with everything you need. IRO is good but the kit is basic. Rough Country is ok, but again, it is basic. Same with Zone Offroad. To do it right with adjustable short arms about $1300. Long arms will be a lot more. Pick a kit and we can go from there. I just got done doing my 4.5" kit.
October 2nd, 2012, 08:25 PM | #7 |
I want to go with 31x10.5x15 general grabbers mt red letter tires. 15" steel wheels. I just need more info on a lift kit that will give me the correct clearances and comes complete with everything I need. Not sure if I need to go with a 4" kit or less?

My 4" Zone kit was OK. I upgraded shocks to the Nitros. It rides good. My JK Wheels and Tires (32" x 10.5") rub, I need some wheel spacers to push them out a bit. Had to cut the front bumper for clearance. They rub in the rear and had to lengthen my bumpstops more. I would say my kit was complete, except the bumpstops needed to be longer. I don't use the t-case drop either. It aligned at the shop. Replaced the steering damper and I have no shimmy (death wobble). I have about 20,000 miles on this kit.

Zone Offroad, Iron Rock Offroad, BDS, are good. Rough country is ok. Heard the springs sag quickly. I have 4.5" Teraflex springs, but you can't get them from teraflex anymore. You have to go through a guy on jeepforum.com. I had to trim the front bumper on mine. I would not go less unless you plan on triming the actual fenders.

I was leaning toward the rough country long arm 4" lift kit for about $1500.00. It recommends changing the front cv axles. Where do I get the correct axles? I will look into the other brands before I buy anything. Thanks for all imput! I am still not sure if a 15" alloy wheel will fit?

They are talking about the front driveshaft. If you have the dual c/v joint shaft, it will start making noise and go out. I actually put one on from a 04 v8 WJ. cheaper and is working great at 4.5 inches.

ClassicsOnline Home » STRAUSS II, J.: Edition - Vol. 6
The Johann Strauss Edition
Johann Strauss II, the most famous and enduringly successful of 19th-century light music composers, was born in Vienna on 25 October 1825. Building upon the firm musical foundations laid by his father, Johann Strauss I (1804-1849) and Joseph Lanner (1801-1843), the younger Johann (along with his brothers, Josef and Eduard) achieved so high a development of the classical Viennese waltz that it became as much a feature of the concert hall as of the ballroom. For more than half a century Johann II captivated not only Vienna but also the whole of Europe and America with his abundantly tuneful waltzes, polkas, quadrilles and marches. The thrice-married 'Waltz King' later turned his attention to the composition of operetta, and completed 16 stage works besides more than 500 orchestral compositions – including the most famous of all waltzes, The Blue Danube (1867). Johann Strauss II died in Vienna on 3 June 1899.
The Marco Polo Strauss Edition is a milestone in recording history, presenting, for the first time ever, the entire orchestral output of the 'Waltz King'. Despite their supremely high standard of musical invention, the majority of the compositions have never before been commercially recorded and have been painstakingly assembled from archives around the world. All performances featured in this series are complete and, wherever possible, the works are played in their original instrumentation as conceived by the 'master orchestrator' himself, Johann Strauss II.
Warschauer Polka (Warsaw Polka) op. 84 In October 1850 Johann Strauss applied for a passport for himself and his orchestra to tour "all the Royal-Imperial conscripted crown lands, Prussia and Russo-Poland" until the end of the year. They departed Vienna on 16 October. After giving concerts in Ratibor (=Racibórz), Breslau (=Wroclaw) and Kattowitz (=Katowice), all now in present-day Poland, they travelled to Warsaw on 23 October, allegedly at the invitation of the Tsarina of Russia – Poland at that time being under Russian dominion. There, on 27 October, Strauss and his musicians played at a festival soirée given by the Russian Tsar Nicholas I, whose guests included the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I. Strauss must have felt the irony of the situation that denied him the position of Court Music Director in his own country, while he fulfilled the role for the Tsar.
During Strauss's brief stay in Warsaw he composed three new works, which he featured on his return to Vienna at a festival in the Bierhalle premises, in the suburb of Fünfhaus, on 21 November 1850. Only one of the new pieces was published – the Warschauer Polka, written for the Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna, who rewarded Johann with a diamond ring.
Wellen und Wogen, Walzer (Waves and Billows, Waltz) op. 141 During a concert tour of Germany in October and November 1852, Johann Strauss made a visit to Hamburg where he conceived the idea of composing a waltz suited more to the concert platform than the dance floor. This first tentative step in the further development of the waltz was entitled Wellen und Wogen, a title admirably suited to the mood of this musical seascape. Although it excited no particular attention at its première on 9 October 1853 at a benefit concert in the Vienna Volksgarten, it drew comment from many corners upon its subsequent publication. Vienna's revered critic, the 'Music Pope' Eduard Hanslick, dismissed this and other Strauss "waltz requiems" of the period as "no longer appropriate to the dance". But Johann had achieved his aim, and must have been gratified by the opinion of the Theaterzeitung: "This 'Wellen und Wogen' does not have an electrifying effect only on dancing enthusiasts; these enchanting sounds also exercise an irresistible power of attraction on the colder and more demanding visitors to the soiree".
Caroussel-Marsch (Carousel March) op. 133 The splendid Caroussel-Marsch takes its name, not from the now-ubiquitous fairground attraction, but from the equestrian tournament in which riders compete in races and various manoeuvres in formation. One such entertainment took place at the Vienna Hofreitschule (Court Riding School) – today better known as the Spanish Riding School – on 21 May 1853, during that year's Court Festival. The event inspired Johann Strauss to one of the most compelling musical creations of his early period, the Caroussel-Marsch, which the composer conducted for the first time at a spring festival in the Volksgarten on 14 June, 1853.
Camelien-Polka Schnell (Camellias, Quick polka) op. 248 By way of thanks for a decoration which had recently been bestowed upon him, Carl Haslinger, Johann Strauss's regular Viennese publisher, organised a charity event to take place in the Dianabad-Saal on 29 January 1861. The name he chose for this entertainment, a 'Camellias Ball', was unfortunately to prove an embarrassment to him when no camellias could be procured for that particular evening! Haslinger doubtless found some consolation, however, in the excellent and aptly-entitled Camelien-Polka, which Johann Strauss provided for the occasion.
Ballettomanes may recognise some of the polka's themes, arranged as an accompaniment to a can-can, in the ballet Le beau Danube (1924).
Myrthen-Kränze, Walzer (Myrtle Wreaths, Waltz) op. 154 On 24 April 1854, amid all the pomp and ceremony appropriate to such a royal occasion, Vienna jubilantly celebrated the marriage of the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I and the Bavarian Duchess Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie. Three days later, at the Court Ball held in the Rittersaal of the Hofburg, Johann Strauss conducted his own wedding tribute before the royal couple. The press reported: "During the cotillons there resounded for the first time the 'Elisabethsklänge', respectfully dedicated to her Majesty the Empress by Kapellmeister Strauss".
In the Introduction to the waltz there are allusions to the National Anthems of Austria (Haydn's Kaiserlied) and Bavaria (Franz Lachner's Bayernlied), and the work later appeared in print with its title changed to Myrthen-Kränze.
Nordstern-Quadrille (Polar Star Quadrille) op. 153 Towards the end of July 1854 Johann Strauss returned from a rest-cure in Bad Gastein, near Salzburg, to resume his position at the head of the Strauss Orchestra. His first appearance in public was at Unger's Casino in Hernals on Sunday 30 July, and among the compositions performed was his new quadrille on themes from Meyerbeer's opera comique, Der Nordstern. As L'Étoile du Nord, Meyerbeer's opera had received its world première in Paris on 16 February 1854, but not until the following year was a production mounted in Vienna.
Some seven years before, Johann had been prevented from performing music from an earlier version of this Meyerbeer opera when Carl Haslinger, his father's publisher, had sought a legal injunction ensuring that only the elder Strauss had access to the work. Meyerbeer himself had disapproved of this ban and made his music available to both father and son.
Bluette-Polka Française (Artistic trifle, French polka) op. 271 Johann Strauss honoured each of his three wives with the dedication of a dance music composition. Thus, Angelika's name lives on in the dedication of the Kuss-Walzer (op. 400) and Adele's in the Adelen-Walzer (op. 424).
Strauss's first wife was the mezzo-soprano Jetty Treffz (1818-78), whom he married in August 1862. She at once proved herself an indispensable partner for the often disorganised and financially naive 'Waltz King', and aside from her wifely duties also fulfilled those of advisor in artistic and monetary matters, translator, private secretary and even music copyist. It was for Jetty that Johann wrote his charming Bluette, Polka francaise, which he himself conducted on 23 November 1862 at a St. Katherine's Day masked ball in the Redoutensall, the proceeds from which were "for the benefit of the Pension Institute for those involved in the Fine Arts in Vienna".
Concurrenzen, Walzer (Rivalry, Waltz) op. 267 The ball of the Industrial Societies' Association, held in the Sofienbad-Saal on 29 January 1862, opened the series of imposing grand Corporation balls that took place during that year's Vienna Carnival. Johann Strauss and his orchestra were engaged to provide the dance music at this festivity, for which the composer was also expected to write the obligatory dedication piece. He obliged with the irresistible waltz Concurrenzen, for which the Association's ball-organising committee presented him with 25 golden ducats. Cognizant of the background to Johann's choice of title, the Wiener Zeitung observed: "When Strauss let his waltz 'Concurrenzen' ring out... here the competitive squabble between the railway companies was forgotten, and there reigned only one competition, the competition of the winged feet."
Chansonetten-Quadrille, Nach Themen Französischer Romanzen (Comic Songs, Quadrille on themes from French ballads) op. 259 Several of the works which Johann Strauss and his brothers wrote for their Russian concert seasons were published both there and in Vienna, but often under different titles. An example is the Rigolboche-Quadrille, which Johann's Russian publisher announced as being based on Parisian comic songs. The composer's choice of French material for a new quadrille reflected the success which a group of Parisian girl singers were enjoying at that time in St. Petersburg. Strauss's new composition not only drew upon the girls' repertoire, but also took its title from the stage name of their most popular dancer and singer, the blonde 'Rigolboche' (real name: Marguerite Badel). Russian audiences heard Johann's Rigolboche-Quadrille – initially called the Französische Quadrille – for the first time at the composer's own benefit concert at Pavlovskon 5 October 1861 (= 23 September, Russian calender). Strauss's regular Viennese publisher, however, preferred to retitle the work Chansonetten-Quadrille.
Ballsträusschen, Schnell-Polka (Ball Bouquets, Quick polka) op. 380 Ballsträusschen was the title Johann Strauss gave to the quick polka he dedicated to the Vienna Journalists' and Writers' Association, "Concordia", on the occasion of their ball held in the Sofienbad-Saal on 19 February 1878. It was written at a time when Johann was busy composing his operetta Blindekuh [Première: Theater an der Wien, Vienna, 18 December 1878], and it was the only dance composition which he produced for the 1878 Vienna Carnival. After a period of fraternal disharmony Johann had again resumed contact with his youngest brother Eduard, and indeed he it was who conducted the Strauss Orchestra in the first performance of Ballsträusschen at the Concordia Ball.
The first theme in the Trio section of Ballsträusschen may strike a chord with some listeners through its inclusion in Acts 1 and 2 of the posthumous Johann Strauss operetta, Wiener Blut (1899).
Kuss-Waltzer (Kiss Waltz) op. 400 After the death of his first wife, Jetty Treffz, in April 1878, Johann waited just seven weeks before remarrying. His new bride was Angelika Dittrich (1850-1919), a blue-eyed 28 year-old Prussian actress, but the marriage was ill-starred and the couple were granted a divorce by consent in late 1882.
Among the operettas Johann created during their brief time together was Der Iustige Krieg ('The Merry War') of 1881, whose popularity in Strauss's lifetime was surpassed only by Die Fledermaus (1874) and Der Zigeunerbaron (1885). Of the ten separate orchestral numbers which Johann concocted from its melodies the Kuss-Walzer retains a special significance, for it bears a poignant dedication "to his beloved wife Angelika". It was Eduard Strauss who first conducted this waltz, as the opening dance piece at the Court Ball held on 10 January 1882. The Kuss-Walzer is, in fact, an orchestral treatment of the operetta's 'hit' number, the Marchese Sebastiani's Act 2 aria, "Nur für Natur", with an added section taken from the Act 2 Finale ("Herr Herzog").
CSSR State Philharmonic Orchestra (Košice) The East Slovakian town of Košice boasts a long and distinguished musical tradition, as part of a province that once provided Vienna with musicians. The State Philharmonic Orchestra is of relatively recent origin and was established in 1968 under the conductor Bystrik Rezucha. Subsequent principal conductors have included Stanislav Macura and Ladislav Slovák, the latter succeeded in 1985 by his pupil Richard Zimmer. The orchestra has toured widely in Eastern and Western Europe and plays an important part in the Košice Musical Spring and the Košice International Organ Festival.
Oliver Dohnányi Oliver Dohnányi was born in 1955 and studied the violin, composition and conducting at the Bratislava Conservatory, in the Slovakian capital, pursuing further studies in Prague under Václav Neumann and others, and in Vienna under Otmar Suitner. He graduated in 1980 but had already established himself as artistic director of the Charles University Art Ensemble and the Canticorum lubilo chamber ensemble in Prague. He has won distinction in various competitions, including the Respighi Competition in Italy and international competitions in Budapest and Prague. From 1979 to 1986 Oliver Dohnányi was conductor of the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra in Bratislava and has appeared with major orchestras there, in Prague and in Hungary, as well as with the West Berlin Symphony Orchestra, and since 1986 has been principal conductor of the opera of the Slovak National Theatre. In addition to work with the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra, he has appeared as a guest conductor in the concert hall and in opera in France, Italy, Austria, the USSR, Cuba, East Germany, Bulgaria, Switzerland and elsewhere.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do with 17 month old on a rainy day?
(10 Posts)Title says it all really. It's horrible outside and I need ideas on what I can do with my daughter. Painting she isn't into, puzzles she doesn't quite get, play dough she wants to eat and she can't jump in muddy puddles yet because she's only just started walking and is still in cruising shoes. Any ideas please?
Pull all the cushions/covers off your sofa/bed and build a den. Have a big bubbly bath. Empty the pan cupboard and have a homemade musical instrument session. Make some cookies
My 18mo DS played for ages the other day with a few plastic bowls and cups that I filled with dried lentils. Lots of pouring, mostly on the floor. But it kept him entertained for a while.
17-month-old DS loves to 'read' books, play trains and cars, dance to songs on TV/that we sing together (head shoulders knees and toes, wheels on the bus), muck about with toys in the bath...
But right now he's got more toys than he knows what to do with thanks to Santa, so boredom isn't an issue...
Oh and a piggy bank and pile of coppers is another favourite here. I have to keep a close eye to make sure he doesn't ingest any though!
Agree with piggy bank. Just spent a good half hour counting and putting money on bank with 2 DS.(2 & 4).
Going To make cookies later .
My dd seems to have the attention span of a goldfish. She just won't sit still long enough. tried homage playdough and all she wanted to do was eat it and throw it off the table! The coins she just wanted to throw across the room and eat. I give up!! Lol
Sound like she is into throwing things...squishy ball, balloons, rolling cars down I slope?
My boys liked going to the pet shop to look at the fish in the tanks Cheaper than going to an aquarium!
Give her a duster and get her to help you clean.
We have wooden floors downstairs so the boys used to like sitting on a small rug and be slid/dragged up and down the hall.
Set up some boxes and let her throw stuff at them to knock them down.
