In one extraordinary new work, lovers of Baroque opera have it all: the world's best singers, glorious music of the Baroque masters, and a story drawn from Shakespeare. In The Enchanted Island, the lovers from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream are shipwrecked on his other-worldly island of The Tempest. Inspired by the musical pastiches and masques of the 18th century, the work showcases arias and ensembles by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, and others, and a new libretto by Jeremy Sams. Eminent conductor William Christie leads an all-star cast headed by David Daniels, Joyce DiDonato, and Plácido Domingo. This world-premiere production is directed and designed by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch.

How big is the Universe? Where did it come from and where is it going? Why is it the way it is? These are just some of the questions cosmologists study.
A Gömböc is a strange thing. It wriggles and rolls around with an apparent will of its own. Until quite recently, no-one knew whether Gömböcs even existed. Even now, Gábor Domokos, one of their discoverers, reckons that in some sense they barely exists at all.
Research into the bizarre world of neutrinos helps to piece together the creation story of the Universe.

David Sloan calculates how likely it is that our Universe exists. He explains to us how, and why the answer can help shape our theories of physics.
Most of us have a rough idea that computers are made up of complicated hardware and software. But perhaps few of us know that the concept of a computer was envisioned long before these machines became ubiquitous items in our homes, offices and even pockets.

These pendants carved from hippopotamus teeth were strung on cords with beads and amulets. The gesture of the hands on the breasts signifies divination, respect, and the containment of royal secrets.
The pendants are portraits, or at least likenesses, of certain revered ancestors, who are named and honored. Devotees have rubbed the figures with oil in homage to these ancestors, creating a smooth, rich color and lustrous surface.

Comments about SRAM PG950 9-speed Cassette:
If you ride hard enough you will chew up at least one a year even if your changing chains regularly. I can't justify spending an extra $50 to save 10 grams of wt.. Rock gardens, down trees, washouts, drops etc. don't take kindly to light weight equipment. but those times that you are carrying your bike up that rock face you might feel different.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good deal
By Retro Rick

About Me Competitive Cyclist
I've been using this cassete band for years now and they work justfine even though they are not supposed to be compatible with my shifting system. They are inexpensive and perform as well as cassettes costing twice as much or more. They are also much less expensive than 10 and 11 speed cassettes.
Smooth shifts
By Dave
from The Maine Coast
About Me Commuter
This cassette shifts very smoothly and I love the low 34T gear for hilly terrain while commuting or recreational riding. The wide gear range 11-34 is all I will ever need for any type of riding.
By dochummer

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Perfect combination of light weight and low cost. I used it for a budget build on an old '86 Bridgestone. Nice having the extra gears and the lower 28T.

Shifts Great
By zzzingrol
from Etters, PA
I purchased this for my 8 speed sram equiped touring bike to obtain a lower overall gear ratio. I took both cassettes apart and interchanged gears. It should be noted 8 speed uses .120" spacers while the 9 has .100" spacers. Worked great!
Excellent Cassette
By the Dartman
from Middle Haddam, CT
Use it for a Mtn. Bike. Works wonderfully with new SRAM chain.

Works great
By Andy

Upgraded from an old 8 speed cassette to this 9. Works as expected with no problems shifting. A bit on the heavy side, but that was expected for the price.

Our favorite Squash wrap grip is the Squash Galaxy Wrap Grip. We've been in the business a long time and always get requests on what our favorite wrap grip is for squash so we went out and made our own! The Squash Galaxy Wrap grip has a smooth and extremely tacky feel and is the appropriate length and size for any squash racquet on the market. It's only $8 to have it installed at the time of purchase.
The Tecnifibre 305 17g string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Tecnifibre 305 17g string we suggest.At the time of purchase, the Tecnifibre 305 17g restring upgrade is $21.95. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. The tecnifibre will fray before it breaks and that's completely normal so don't worry about it!
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Silencer (Our favorite), Head Smart Sorb, Head Megasorb, or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?" It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper. For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We recommend an overgrip for players that tend a sweat a lot, want to build up a grip, or wear through wrap grips very often. An overgrip is thinner and wears quicker than re-grips, but can be changed much quicker and easier than a re-grip. We recommend the Wilson Pro Overgrip, but for those looking for the best sweat absorption, durability, and feel... the Overgrip/ Re-grip gives the best combination. Note** when an overgrip is installed, you will not be able to see the re-grip if chose to have it installed.
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

This is a newer leaderboard, created in February 2010. It ranks Gamertags based on what it calls a TrueAchievement score. This is similar to Gamerscore, except all achievement points are weighted according to how rare the achievement is (i.e. how difficult it is to obtain). It's a great concept, and you might find your position quite different from what it is on the other leaderboard. This one is open to anyone, so simply join the website and then add yourself to the leaderboard.
Visit the Neowin.net leaderboard at TrueAchievements.com
This is the original leaderboard, created back in October 2006 at the same time this topic was made. It ranks Gamertags based on pure Gamerscore, so the more achievement points you have, the further you will be up the table. The downside is it's limited to only 250 members, so if you want to join you need to send me a PM so I can add you manually the next time I update the list.
Game on!

Eclectic Institute, Raw Red Food Defence POW-der, Tomato Plus 6, 4.3 oz (123 g)
By Eclectic Institute6 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Apr 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.34 lbs (0.61 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
My family members are only at their first steps trying various superfoods. Everything is so new for us. After delicious lemony greens, we have tried this bottle and oh - it is so good to ones health but so bad tasting. It looks like cayenne, tomato and onion (not garlic) in taste and I hate onion taste. I don't recommend to try it in hot water, it is even bigger disaster. Only cold water, believe me. Attention to all ladies, I have lost 3-4 cm in my waist area even when I am pretty skinny, but waist area was not so perfect. Other interesting thing is that my man earlier was often eating Adjika (Caucasian regions food), which his mother was making similar: cayenne, garlic, tomatoes and other herbs, just she was adding oil in the base. And from Adjika my man was smelling really bad. That smell of cayennes and garlic was keeping even at night when he sleeps and breaths through his nose. It was horrible. Eclectic Institute made this perfect, no bad smell! Just maybe 5 minutes after drinking. I am definitely recommending this perfect antioxidant, especially at cold weather time, it warms from inside out!
It has a little kick to it, a bit spicy, which makes it taste better, in my opinion. I mix this with the broccoli POW-der (which is a bit bland otherwise) to make a very nice hot drink. I'll buy this again.

Clear Skin 101: Get Rid of Acne Scars
With the right acne scar treatments and expert tips, you can finally forget your breakout-ridden past
When that does happen -- Do. Not. Pop. It. Whitney Johnson, Global Education Developer at The International Dermal Institute, says that popping and picking at your skin is a guaranteed way to get scars. We know it's hard not to touch, but you will be thankful in the future.
Instead of picking and prodding your face, your first action in the plan of attack should be to use a spot treatment that contains salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or sulfur. These ingredients will help to diminish the zit fast, giving you less time to even think about popping. Try Clean & Clear Acne Spot Treatment, $3.

Didn't see anything about chemical peels. Anyone have any knowledge about whether or not those can help acne scars? Thanks!

Consuming a great daily vitamin, along with strong C and B Vitamin supplements can have a great effect on your skin. So can drinking water--lots and lots of it. It plumps tissue and helps scarring to be minimized.

All of MVCC's credits transferred and thanks to the solid foundation I received while at MV, I graduated summa cum laude with my Doctor of Chiropractic degree. I immediately opened my own practice back home in Utica, New York where I remain today. I am the sole proprietor of LaBarbera Family Chiropractic, LLC and enjoy one of the largest practices in the upstate area. I specialize in corrective chiropractic care with an emphasis on neurological problems as well as family wellness and prevention.

Tray or Waiter
Exhibited in Tiffany's display at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, this tray is evidence of the nineteenth-century search for America's roots in its pre-European cultures. The object is based on the famous "sun calendar" of the Aztecs, which had been excavated in Mexico City about a hundred years before and had become an icon of the Pre-Columbian past. After its exhibition, the tray was purchased by William Randolph Hearst for use at his palatial residence, San Simeon.

How to Reduce a 9 Hour Job into a 9 Minute Job
I was just helping a customer today that was using Heroku workers at full worker capacity (24) and it was taking ~9 hours per day to go through his user database of 200,000 users and send out notifications. A quick calculation explains why:
((200,000 users * 3.5 seconds per task) / 3600 seconds/hour) / 24 workers processes = 8.1 hours
We took it down to less than 9 minutes. Here's how:
The easy (naive?) way would just be to queue up 200,000 tasks on IronWorker. This would have worked just fine, but it would have taken a while just to queue up the tasks and the setup/teardown time of a task would be wasteful when the task only takes 3.5 seconds to run. Instead, we had each task process 100 users which is now only 2000 tasks. Each task should take approximately 3.5 * 100 = 350 seconds = ~6 minutes to run and we can run them all at pretty much the same time, but I'll be conservative and adjust a bit for IronWorker capacity.
((200,000 users * 3.5 seconds) / 3600 seconds/hour) / 2000 worker processes * 1.5 capacity adjustment = 0.146 hours = 8.75 minutes
Batching up the tasks into batches of 100 was easy, here's sample code:
IronWorker gives you super simple access to huge compute power and you don't even need to think about a server. This customer will never have to worry about scaling this part of his application again.

This question already has an answer here:
I know how to program for Unix, Mac, and iOS, but I have no clue when it comes to Windows. Now I have a specific project that requires building a Windows version of a Mac OS X desktop app. But I have no idea where to start learning. What languages can I build the app in and how do I package it for download and distribution? What tools can I use? Can I use Vim and something resembling the Unix command line?
I can program well in Ruby and Objective C, but I'm guessing I won't be able to use either of these to make a Windows desktop app.
Any tips?

Hi everyone
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. But after reading Janelosing's thread, I'm curious, do we shorter women (I'm 4'11" with lots of abdominal fat too) need to count calories as well? In order to lose weight that is. I have 40 -60 lbs to lose. I do exercise regulary, well have been for the past few weeks anyway, just starting to make changes to my diet now.
My understanding was that if I kept my fat intake to no more than 10 percent, and avoided the refined carbohydrates(and kept things vegan of course) quanity did not matter so much. *sigh, us shorties always have to work a bit harder don't we.
Stick with the dietary changes you have committed to and see what happens. If you lose no more than 1-2 pounds a week, then you are doing it right! Consider further changes once you see a long-term plateau of no weight loss without being at your goal.

Cheers Susan Will do.
As someone who is also 4'11", I'll let you know that you don't have to count calories as long as you are doing this low-fat vegan lifestyle. I've lost a total of 35 pounds in the past ten years when my mom was diagnosed with diabetes so I am now at my ideal body weight. However, I wanted my percent body fat to go down so when I did the kickstart in January. I ate SO much food to really test what was said, that quality not quantity mattered. I didn't gain a pound and I lost inches in my thighs and hips. It works

Hi Amanda,
Thank you very much for your reply. It is just the encouragement I need.
I'll be doing a gradual tranistion since I can't afford to throw out the food that is in the kitchen. I'll finish off what I have,but anything new that I buy will follow my new eating guidelines.
So within a month I hope to see more energy and a pound or two lost. I'm really excited, and relieved to be releasing my grip on all the foods that have been keeping me so unhealthy. A bit nervous too, I do get emotionally attatched to food. I am re-reading Dr.Barnard's Breaking the Food Seduction at the moment - I did read it when it first came out, but it clearly was not the right time I guess.
Thank you again for this forum.
And a "go team short women!"

I ate what I had down in my kitchen too - being almost completely vegan before, it wasn't a lot. But by reading books by Dr. McDougall and Dr. Barnard, I quickly learned that I was a very unhealthy vegan with my olive oil and fake meats and such. I also re-read the books too because they keep reminding me why I'm doing this.I hope you stick around here too, its nice to find someone else full grown at my size Everyone tells me I look young for my age (I'm talking by 10 years or more) and I say its what I eat!
An advantage of being short is that weight loss shows on your frame faster. I'm not short and it seems like it takes longer to go down a size in terms of pounds lost compared to a shorter person. Still happy for the weight loss and gains in energy, though!
Hi Amanda and Deborah,
Oh yes, I plan on sticking around.
It's interesting, when I was 20 and people assumed I was 13, naturally I hated it. I thought when I was in my 40s I'd appreciate looking younger - but at 42 I want credit for being 42! Especially at work, when visiting execs would just assume I was a newbie without much experience *sigh.
Weight loss showing sooner sounds encouraging though Deborah, funny I have seen much taller friends lose weight, and I've lost weight before....I'll pay closer attention this time, you're probably right.
As for my new way of eating- since all my test results came back normal, I'm aiming for progress not perfection. Eliminating all the animal products has proved not too difficult since my diet was 80 percent vegan, but giving up some of the easy and cheap vegan fare, not quite ready. So peanut butter remains, and not quite ready to give up my black coffee with sugar. Well, perfection is the enemy of the good, as my husband likes to remind me when I get overly self critical and annoyingly obssesed with food. So working out regulary and eating a lower fat vegan diet is where I am at right now - and that's okay with me.
Thanks again everyone. I really appreciate the encouragment and camaraderie . Go Us!
That is key! I plan on sticking with the vegan aspect of this lifestyle completely (health benefits are a fabulous bonus but my main reason for going vegan was not wanting to eat animals) but the low-fat part I cheat on occasionally. Those are my "social" splurges like rich soy ice cream shakes or the tasty-but-not-actually-healthy vegan restaurant. I stick to this program greater than 95% of the time so I know the fat will come off in time and I'm so much more healthy than I was before no matter how long it takes to trim down some.
I completley agree, the weight loss will be a nice bonus - but already, I feel better , physically and about my lowered impact on animal suffering.
I originally became a vegan in my 20s only for my love of animals and ate plenty of vegan junk food. I strayed from being a vegan when I met my meat eating husband. Maybe I was seduced by the smell of a quarter pounder with cheese, maybe I wanted to be so less than perfectly good for awhile. Now happily back to my vegan ways, and just as much in love with my husband, who eats an accidentaly partial vegan diet but still loves his bacon and burgers. I guess I needed to be reminded how comforting eating the food of our childhood can be, that meat can be addictive, one burger can lead to the craving for another. That no one should ever tell another person how they should eat. Now I can be true to my emotional and physical needs and respect and have compassion for his, and he has a true appreciation for my way of eating.
Last night I sauteed veggies and potatoes with veggie broth, with it we had whole grain vegan pancakes with pumpkin pie spice and vanilla - no fat, I had tempeh stips and he had pig bacon(cooked separately) and we were both very happy. Just a little creative thinking and compassion for ourselves and one another and it's all good.
Sorry, that was way off topic, probably required a whole new thread.
Anyway, yes, progress not perfection.
And oh yes, we have a very tasty but not too healthy vegan restaurant in our town too. I'll save that for my birthday.
Good on ya Amanda- fantastic attitude you have.
take care

I couldn't resist those kitties! The fabric is Hello Petal by Aneela Hoey (I found some here), it's so so cute!
I made a baby wrap this week…I'd seen them pop up online and thought I'd give it a go. Sophie loves to wrap up her babies and maybe this will make it easier.
I winged it and I think it turned out good…now we'll see if she actually uses it!
I blinked and 2 years went by. It's amazing how that happens…she's such a little joy.
Happy Monday!

How nice to go to a big quilt show apart from the yarn did you get a lot of stuff for quilting, here a question for you do you find that you get good bargains at a show compared to other places you may buy stuff from
Hugs Janice

Hi again Janice... in answer to your question..yep I did 'get' a few precious items... but they're alll teeny like beads and embroidery ribbons and such.
I do think I get bargains at the show, for 2 reasons...mmmm maybe 3.
1. I am there...that's a bargain in itself.
2. I find things there that I can't find elsewhere.
3. I don't tend to buy many things regularly...only what I really need :D
Could you please email me so that I have your email and can reply that way? thanks!

When Una Elias decided to remodel her Connecticut vacation home, she called architect and interior designer Abby Suckle, who had also helped her remodel her New York City apartment. Like many clients, Elias bombarded Suckle with pictures. But Elias wasn't just offering inspiration; she was asserting her style. All she needed from Suckle was a little advice on her color choices.
"I spent two hours with her on the Connecticut design," says Suckle. "I didn't have to do much."
It's not that Elias doubts Suckle's expertise. She's just acting her age. At 42, Elias is on the tail end of the baby-boom generation of people born between 1946 and 1964. Like Elias, many have time and money to invest in newly empty nests, retirement dream houses and second homes. And when it comes to planning their mid- and late-life dwellings, baby boomers – the leading edge of whom came of age during the free-expression years of the mid-20th century – are "as independent-minded as they were in the '60s," says New York-based Dorothy Kalins, founding editor of Saveur and Metropolitan Home magazines.
Kalins, a boomer herself, says her generation doesn't follow established conventions. While their parents might have handed over the reins (and the checkbook) to designers for the latest look, "We realized that one style or another was not going to define us. What was important was that we could do any style that we wanted," she says.
Now that the peak of the independent-minded boomers are turning 50, they're creating a new model of adulthood, with a middle stage focused on renewal, according to American Demographics. Modern maturity, in the boomer playbook, is not about fading into retirement but rather an opportunity for reinvention.
With their children grown and their time and resources their own, boomers are pursuing their personal passions, whether that means trekking to Tanzania or painting their dining room deep purple.
Desire to be different
The style choices of America's 78 million boomers are wide and varied. Lisa Peck of Pisa Design in Minneapolis says the most consistent design thread among her boomer clients is a demand to be different and authentic, mixing personal pieces into a unique design scheme. She has one boomer client couple, for example, whose entire home is musically themed to match their shared passion for guitars.
Eclectic pieces, including travel treasures, are in high demand. Even if they don't purchase them while on a trip, worldly boomers want guests to know where their furnishings come from, says designer Ann Newton Spooner of Charlotte, N.C. When Sally Leider, a boomer teacher and life coach who works with other boomer clients, selected a Tibetan rug for her Minnesota home, she became so interested in the rug's origins that she sought out a workshop on Tibetan rug history.
"Not keeping up with the Joneses is how boomers are keeping up with the Joneses," says Peck. In spite of their idiosyncratic leanings, there are signs of boomer trends. Peck sees a lot of style-defining color. Serene neutrals are welcome, as are energetic (and retro) orange and lime green.
And shades of red and yellow are boomer favorites that cross state and style lines, says Spooner, a color specialist. While her boomer clients sometimes show their age by incorporating heirloom pieces with updated classical pieces, their color choices remain youthfully exuberant. "Red is very strong, as is yellow." (Back in Manhattan, Elias' sleek apartment features a three-room-long yellow wall.)
Kalins has a theory as to where at least part of the color trend comes from. "Red makes technology more friendly" for boomers, who are learning that an iPod is not an apartment for one. "Refrigerators are red, coffee makers are red," she notes. Nostalgia may play a part, too. "Painting a wall red was something we did in the '60s."
Spooner has a less glamorous explanation: Boomers don't see colors the same as they did when they were younger. Bolder colors are easier to see through no-line bifocals. Though some are loath to admit it, aging factors into boomer design selections.
Eternal optimists
A study commissioned by Hanley Wood, a media and information company for the housing and construction industry, found that only one in 10 boomers professed to being worried about life after 60. Perhaps hearkening back to idealistic earlier years, most said they are going to take aging "in stride." (Hanley Wood publishes STIR magazine on behalf of Sherwin-Williams.)
"This generation wants upscale living with less complication," says Frank Anton, CEO of Hanley Wood. "They want their homes to be manageable, temperate, affordable, flexible and accessible." That's accessible as in – shhhh – wheelchair-friendly wide doorways, easy-to-operate faucets and lowered toilet seats that go easy on arthritic hips.
Mid-50s baby boomers Mark and Kathy Shook are planning ahead. The couple recently remodeled the main living spaces of their Arizona home and plan to update their upper-level sleeping and bathing areas soon. On the to-do list are a no-step, doorless shower for safe entry. "And a spa tub will soothe the aches and pains" of aging bones, says Kathy. Some boomers don't have a choice. Universal design accommodations are now code on residential remodeling and new construction in New York.
Regardless of the reason, boomers "want finishes in their homes that are easily maintained, like tile flooring and smooth surfaces on countertops," says designer Denise Walton of Scottsdale, Ariz. The Shooks, who are Walton's clients, installed travertine marble floors and granite countertops, demonstrating yet another boomer trait: a preference for high-quality materials. "They want to have time to relax and not be repairing and replacing things," says Walton. "They want to do it right and not have to do it again."
Not surprisingly, one-floor homes, including airy downtown lofts, make for carefree and stylish living where convenient access to grocery stores, restaurants, theaters and coffee shops is a bonus. The savviest businesses are locating in neighborhoods attractive to the massive boomer population.
Room for the grandkids
Minneapolis architect Bruce Knutson fits many boomer trends. He is among the 60 percent of boomers who say they will downsize. "We went from 5,000 to 1,380 square feet and set up our home like a downtown loft," he says. "The kitchen is in the center," for ease of entertaining – a priority for boomers who finally have the time to linger.
Although social interaction is a high priority for boomers, a large majority have a "me-centric" vision with little interest in catering to their kids' or aging parents' needs, though many happily make exceptions for grandchildren. Knutson, for example, dedicated the entire lower level of his home to his four grandkids. An impervious floor, a chalkboard, toy storage, and a pool just outside the door keep the little ones close. Knutson says his grandchildren never want to leave.
And like most boomers, Knutson wants to "age in place" at his home. So do the Shooks, who plan to live out their years in the foothills of the Phoenix mountains.
Place is key for many boomers, according to Leider. That includes herself. "I grew up in a setting where there were a lot of beautiful views of the river and landscape," she says. In addition to her work as a life coach, Leider is a watershed-protection educator and advoc
ate who has returned to her roots on the St. Croix River. She says that the place boomers settle, whether it represents a return to roots or a new perspective, can be critical in identifying self. For Leider, a mood – a sense of sanctuary after busy years in the workforce – tops any particular design feature. And her home on the river evokes a desire for outdoor living and environmentally conscious values – boomer ideals germinated during those impressionable "flower power" years.
Wherever and however they choose to live, baby boomers are intent on renewing their spaces to reflect their own renewed outlooks on life. Elias said in the past she was more concerned about what people thought. She's getting beyond that – and her home reflects a typical boomer's quest for authenticity. "You walk into my house, and you say: 'This is Una,'" says Elias.
Whatever their style, boomers and their dwellings represent a massive market that design professionals can't afford to neglect.
5 Tips for Making Boomer Clients Happy
Baby boomers can be fiercely independent, but there are still ways design professionals can effectively help.
- Let them take the lead. No one knows what boomers want better than they do.
- Design for the ages. Provide suggestions on universal design and convenient features that boomers might otherwise miss (or avoid).
- Think "last remodel." Keep in mind that boomers will probably need to live with their choices for decades to come – and the older they are the less likely it is they'll remodel again.
- Don't think "old." Think "vital, active, engaged and aware."
- Make memories. Incorporate travel and personal pieces into a strong design foundation, but beware of sentimentality or nostalgia.
