Letter - Lili Sigalas to Desmond Connor, Draft, 14 Oct 1950 Reg. No: HT 2728
- Summary:
- Draft letter of translation by Lili Sigalas to Desmond Connor, Director of the Union Theatre, Melbourne University, it is dated 14 October 1950. Lili was completing the translation on behalf of Nicos Dimitracopoulos, Director of the Athens National Theatre. The letter is in relation to a proposed performance of Antigone.
In 1951 Nicos Dimitracopoulos directed a production of Sophocles' 'Antigone' in modern Greek at the Union Theatre at Melbourne University. A theatrical milestone, it was probably the first production of Greek tragedy in Greek in Victoria. Lili Sigalas had a minor part in the play, and was instrumental in organising the logistics of the production and was an active interpreter.
Lili Sigalas migrated to Australia in 1922 to marry Letho Sigalas. She and Letho moved in a very sociable set, composed of her own young Greek cousins. Lili also travelled abroad frequently, and was active in the Melbourne Greek community.

Local TV station offers free tickets to Dec. 30 IceHogs game
By Doug Halberstadt
Sports Columnist
WIFR Channel 23 is giving the residents of northern Illinois a belated Christmas present tomorrow night (Dec. 30). They have bought out the MetroCentre and are giving away free tickets to the final game of the 2010 portion of this IceHogs' season. The 'Hogs will drop the puck at 6:35 p.m. against the Houston Aeros.
Fans can claim a voucher good for up to four tickets by logging on to the WIFR website and printing out the coupon. That voucher must be exchanged at the Rockford MetroCentre box office for the tickets. Fans can also choose to print out the tickets online for a $3 service fee.
The 'Hogs and the Aeros have faced off against one another two times already this month. The Aeros won the first game in a shootout 4-3 Dec. 2. Rockford rebounded with a 2-1 win in Houston the following night. This will be the first trip to Rockford this year for the Aeros.
At press time, the Aeros were in fifth place in the West Division with 37 points. Rockford is in last place in the West with 29 points.
Following Thursday night's game with the Aeros, the 'Hogs will play back-to-back games against the Oklahoma City Barons to open the new year. They have a New Year's Day road game in Oklahoma at 7:05 p.m., and then another game on the road Sunday, Jan. 2. That matinee against the Barons will begin at 3:05 p.m.
The first time Rockford fans can see the 'Hogs on home ice in 2011 will be Friday night, Jan. 7, when they host the Toronto Marlies.

Measuring the Impact of Digital Technology
Many of the topics in copyright policy research require measuring some aspect of the transition to a digital age. The measurement questions are central in some cases, secondary in others; but measuring the emergence of digital technology is an underdeveloped field attracting a level of effort woefully small in comparison to its social and economic importance. A very large scale government enterprise measures GDP, the flow of pecuniary goods and services. The shifts toward digital goods and digital distribution command attention nothing like it in scale or sophistication.
The symptoms of underdevelopment are apparent in many aspects of U.S. policy. For example, the recently issued 360-page National Broadband Plan contains information from only a few statistical studies authored by neutral third-parties, primarily academics. It contains little in the way of statistical analysis of the consequences of various policy options. This is not attributable to inadequate staff effort but reflects the inchoate state of economic research about digital infrastructure and digitization more broadly, in particular, the absence of an organized community of researchers with a large and well developed body of knowledge.
So incomplete a data foundation would be unthinkable in other infrastructure contexts. Every congressional bill supporting transportation infrastructure, for example, is accompanied by a forecast for the economic growth it will generate and the number of jobs it will create. Nothing comparable can be done for legislation shaping the information infrastructure because there is not even a simple measure of the size of the digital economy nor any apparatus in place to project its growth.
Many initiatives to improve measurement of the digital economy were launched in the 1990s—at the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. A few of these have survived, for example, a survey about the labor market for information technology workers, and an estimate of the scale of electronic commerce, called E-Stats. Others did not survive, however—for example, household and business surveys of broadband supply, adoption, and use.
Unlike in other developed countries, the best information about the online behavior of the U.S. population came not from a government-sponsored survey but instead from a private foundation, the Pew Internet and American Life Project. Although the Pew survey has been useful, especially in tracking social behavior online, its scale is limited, ranging from a little more than one thousand to several thousand households at a time. With these sample sizes the survey could only gauge general trends and gain some insight into their variance. It is incapable of achieving what the BLS survey, involving 80,000-100,000 households, does well—providing a

I love to be the change I want to see!!
I am a lovable, true person who is passionate about my family, creating a legacy, and being the best person I can be. I am a go getter with a infectious personality ( I think ;-) I am also loyal and pride myself on honesty and integrity. I have lived in the NYC area for almost 4 years however still love exploring new areas of the city and would like to meet someone that can lead the way. I am into looking and feeling good and pride myself on exuding positive energy. I am known as the "motivator" at work to my employees and I wear the title proudly. I love fashion and unlike most I actually could read ALL the articles in Vogue and Bazaar which I have found to surprisingly be quite interesting. However my interests lie in many more places than the glossy pages of this month's issue and I find myself sparking debates quite often. I would love to meet some that is real, true to their identity, and not afraid to be themselves. We are blessed to be happy and healthy and we should live life to the fullest and cherish every moment. My ideal match honors family and has good down home values, aspires to build a family legacy, and to make a mark on the world in some way. Passion is so important, a passion for life and love. Although I see myself as independent and building a successful career I love the idea of an old fashion romance and chivalry... It actually goes a long way in my world. Well that is enough to get started.... If you would like more information, please feel free to reach out.

The bill, pending before the County Council, would end the practice of using overtime wages to calculate pension benefits for members of AFSCME, whose members include laborers in the Department of Public Works and other agencies. Under the legislation, overtime earned after April 1 would not count toward the salary reflected in employee pensions.
Neither side could say when exactly the practice started, but it has been in place for several decades. Members of other unions in the county do not use overtime in pension calculations.
In a statement, the Kamenetz administration called the legislation an attempt to save taxpayer dollars and "eliminate an arbitrary perk that sweetens pension benefits for a single class of employees." They said it would save $502,000 a year.
The compensation that determines some employees' pensions is almost double their base salaries because of overtime, Kamenetz administration officials said. For instance, one employee whose base salary is $43,326 earned $84,172 with overtime. That boosted his annual pension from $23,633 to $47,438.
"We need to fix this quirk in the pension system immediately," county Budget Director Keith Dorsey said in the statement. "We want all of our employees to know that the benefits will be there when they retire, and we want our taxpayers to know that we are fairly and sensibly managing these pension funds."
Genovese said the county has tried to eliminate the practice in the past during negotiations, and union members rejected the proposal. He said the county officials are now "going outside the negotiation process to achieve their aim."
"This isn't really a pension issue," Genovese said. "It's a labor-relations issue."
The county says that the issue is not covered by the workers' contract. But Genovese said that "since they are trying to put it into our contract, they clearly think that our contract governs this."
The council is scheduled to discuss the bill at its work session March 13.
While the legislation would not affect members of other unions, the head of the Baltimore County Federation of Public Employees said his organization would stand by AFSCME.
"I certainly think that [the county is] trying to undermine negotiations, good-faith negotiations," said BCFPE president John Ripley.
Cole Weston, president of the county police union, had similar thoughts.
"I think it's a terrible piece of legislation," Weston said, adding that such that such issues should be dealt with through collective bargaining, not through the County Council.
The Kamenetz administration is also seeking state legislation to limit pension benefits for county workers who previously worked for other local governments. Kamenetz has drawn fire for his own pension. He is banking retirement benefits from his previous position as a county councilman, and also earning new benefits from his current position.

While you're busy ogling the topped-out Cheesegrater building, a sculpture park is being readied at its base. From tomorrow (20 June), all will be in place, and you can wander among works by Antony Gormley, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Richard Wentworth and others. All of the works are positioned with some element of site-specificness (if you'll allow such a word). For example, Robert Indiana's famous 'Love' sculpture adorns the corner of 99 Bishopsgate, on the site of the 1993 IRA bomb. What to make of the positioning of the Chapman brothers' three dinosaurs, dubbed 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' — which lurk in the shadows of the Gherkin, Aviva Tower and Cheesegrater — we'll leave to your imagination.
Sculpture in the City, now in its third year, is backed by the City of London and businesses in the area. The current crop will remain in situ until May 2014.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 6/3/13
MILWAUKEE -- It was the one question Milwaukee Bucks owner Senator Herb Kohl didn't answer, but his facial expression said it all. Kohl clearly wasn't happy with the way last season ended. Relationships between head coach Jim Boylan and different players waned down the stretch, as did Milwaukee's performance on the court. The Bucks limped their way into the playoffs and were swept by Miami in the first round. Because of this, a player's coach was a priority in the team's coaching search, but the Bucks were also looking for a coach who demands respect, as well. Like general manager John Hammond, Kohl believes they've found the perfect match in Larry Drew. "We want to be a good team," Kohl said. "We want to get to the playoffs. We want to win in the playoffs. Our goals are we think reasonable, and we think Larry Drew is the person who can lead us there. "We (thought) we had a chance to be pretty good this year until we sort of cratered at the end. We want to be very good this coming y...

The allegations are broad, salacious, and, at times, just plain gross.
Just last week, it was revealed that Miss Blankenship has her own salacious secrets.
He offers big payouts for salacious details on politicians, and has been played by Woody Harrelson.
1660s, from Latin salax (genitive salacis) "lustful," probably originally "fond of leaping," as in a male animal leaping on a female in sexual advances, from salire "to leap" (see salient (adj.)). Earliest form of the word in English is salacity (c.1600). Related: Salaciously; salaciousness.

Very good! I added panko for a little extra crunch and instead of sugar in the sauce used a little mirin. Will make again for sureflag if inappropriate
Love these fritters! I've made them three times already. It's important to let the zucchini drain, def leave them in the colander for longer than 10 minutes. I wouldn't recommend keeping them warm in the oven, every time I've done that they've lost their crispiness. I omitted the chives and the sauce, they taste great on their own.flag if inappropriate
Delcious. I'm glad I made the dipping sauce- I was going to skip- it is a great addition. I'll make againflag if inappropriate
Made these last night (as written) with swordfish steaks. Fabulous dinner with no leftovers. Loved the dipping sauce!flag if inappropriate
The family loved these fritters. They reminded them of the squash flowers we makeflag if inappropriate
Maybe I was having a bad fritter day - but I needed to crank up the heat and add an egg for these to come out anywhere near edible.flag if inappropriate
Huge hit including with my kids. Dipping sauce is fantastic but gives it a totally different taste so try it both ways. Made it exactly as called for.flag if inappropriate
Wonderfully simple to make and delicious. I switched out red onion for the chives I didn't have and they still tasted amazing.flag if inappropriate
Delicious, although whomever wrote this recipe must have a hotter stove than mine. Had to crank up the heat a little to get them to brown. Also, I cooked them more than 3 minutes on each side. Maybe mine were too watery despite wringing the zucchini in a towel? Oh! I had some leftover bacon fat already in my cast iron skillet, so I mixed it with canola oil to fry. :)flag if inappropriate
These were delicious. We used Sriacha instead of crushed red pepper flakes and doubled the recipe. Make sure to let the zucchini sit for at least an hour with a colander to get all the water out, otherwise they won't crisp up. Great way to use an extra large zucchini!flag if inappropriate

An Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC) application is not allowed to open an LU6.2 conversation using the Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 Host Security single signon feature and impersonate the security context of another Microsoft Windows NT user account.
An APPC application that is defined on a computer running Windows NT can only open a conversation using single signon on behalf of the Windows NT account that the application is defined to use.
SNA Server 3.0 was not originally designed to support this functionality.
Several updates have been made to SNA Server 3.0 to allow a privileged APPC application to open an APPC conversation using the single signon feature on behalf of any defined Windows NT user. This is the privileged proxy feature. In addition, an extension has been added to the APPC API to invoke the feature. These extensions are documented in the descriptions of [MC_]ALLOCATE APPC verbs.
An APPC application becomes privileged when the application is started in a Windows NT user account that is a member of a special Windows NT group.
When a Host Security Domain is configured, SNA Server Manager defines a second Windows NT group for use with the host security features of SNA Server. If the user account under which the actual client is running is a member of this second Windows NT group, the client is privileged to initiate an APPC conversation on behalf of any user account defined in the Host Account Cache.
The following illustrates how the privileged proxy feature works:
The SNA Server administrator creates a Host Security Domain called APP. SNA Server Manager now creates two Windows NT groups. The first group is called APP and the second is called APP_PROXY for this example. Users that are assigned to the APP group are enabled for single signon. Users assigned to the APP_PROXY group are privileged proxies. The administrator adds the Windows NT user AppcUser to the APP_PROXY group using the Users button on the Host Security Domain Property dialog box in SNA Server Manager.
The administrator then sets up an APPC application on the SNA Server to run as a Windows NT service called APPCAPP and that service is set up to operate under the AppcUser user account. When APPCAPP runs, it opens an APPC session via an MC_ALLOCATE verb using the extended VCB format and specifies the Windows NT username of the desired user, UserA (for example). The SNA Server service sees the session request coming from a connection that is a member of the Host Security Domain APP. The Client/Server interface tells the SNA Server service that the actual client is AppcUser. The SNA Server service checks to see if AppcUser is a member of the APP_PROXY group. Because AppcUser is a member of APP_PROXY, the SNA Server service inserts the Username/Password for UserA in the APPC Attach (FMH-5) command and sends it off to the partner TP.
APPC Application Requirements to Implement Privileged Proxy SupportIn order to support the priviledged proxy feature, the APPC application must implement the following program logic:
When the APPC application performs the above steps and calls [MC_]ALLOCATE, the SNA Server performs a lookup in the host security domain for the specified Windows NT user, and sets the user ID and password fields in the FMH-5 Attach message sent to the remote system.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in SNA Server version 3.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

This list is long, so brace yourself. According to media reports, Madonna married and divorced Sean Penn, dated Warren Beatty, hooked up with porn star Tony Ward, hung out with Vanilla Ice, got hot for her bodyguard, got heavy with Dennis Rodman, and fell for her personal trainer. With that trainer, Madonna gave birth to a baby girl in 1996.
And then there was Guy. Madonna and Guy Ritchie met in 1998; in 2000, they married and had a son together, but after years of bliss, the couple split in 2011.

According to Chris Forsberg of ESPNBoston.com, and in a move that should surprise no one, the Boston Celtics have announced that both Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett will be unavailable for the game tomorrow night down in Miami. The official word is that both have sore ankles, and although they have made the road trip with the team, neither will dress. This is not unexpected as the team has already clinched a playoff spot and with only four games left until a tough opening series upcoming, likely against the New York Knicks, coach Doc Rivers is choosing to rest bodies. Forsberg also reported in the piece that Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade will play after missing the last six games. There is no word yet whether or not LeBron James and Chris Bosh will play after both sat during last night's game. More on this news as it becomes available to CLNS Radio.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- At a team meeting Saturday, senior guard Chris Colvin was informed that he would be asked to be Arizona State's sixth man this season. In the spirit of former Sun Devil All-American James Harden, he accepted. And less than 24 hours later, Colvin showed how valuable he can be there. Colvin carried the Sun Devils in the first half and was a factor on both ends of the floor in a 97-70 victory over Florida A&M as part of the Las Vegas Invitational, when the Sun Devils had their fun in the sort of open-court game for which they are built this season. "The great sixth man of the year, James Harden ... he doesn't have a problem with it and he is getting paid for it," said Colvin, who spent time with Harden here during the summer before Harden signed his five-year, 80 million contract with theHouston Rockets. "You can learn a lot from him. Watching basketball and seeing how a guy comes off the bench and sparks his team like James does, it's like he should be starting...

Anniversary Gifts
Give the gift of good health.
Anniversaries are about celebrating the quiet moments, the times of joy and trial and the love that makes up a marriage. The best anniversary gifts are reminders of all of these things. Teas for the Heart includes a variety of Tea Forté's signature pyramid infusers in a heart-shaped box. This gift is a beautiful token of love, but purchases of Teas for the Heart also benefit the Hope Heart Institute which aims to help people living with, or at risk for, heart disease. The Duet Gift Set encourages those moments for two that are the soul of relationships. This set includes two porcelain Café Cups, tea trays and a collection of teas to share. Many anniversary gifts are based on symbols and tradition. The dragonfly is often used to reflect maturity and change that comes from emotional experiences. Tea Forté's Dragonfly Cast Iron Tea Set is a wonderful way to celebrate the evolving beauty of a marriage.

Jugendstil / Art Nouveau, Vienna
17 Reviews

St. Leopoldskirche am Steinhof is also called Otto-Wagner-Kirche or St.Leopold am Spiegelgrund and it is a lovely art-nouveau-church built by Otto Wagner at the beginning of the 20th century. For many years it was under restoration, but now you are able to see it also from inside, at least a few hours every week :
every saturday throughout the year at 03.00p.m.
there is a guided tour of 50 minutes for 4 euros
between 04.00p.m. and 05.00p.m. you may see it
free of charge and on your own !
Photography is no problem !
In summer Church-service is there
every sunday and holiday at 09.00a.m.
(in winter it is only at another chapel)
Get there by BUS 48A, it is leaving at Ringstrasse,
close to the Parliament !
Get out at the end of the terminus and walk about 300 meters uphill !
The adress is : A-1140 Wien, Baumgartner Hoehe 1
Guided tours for groups may be arranged with the tel. and e.mail-adress below !
The Anchor Clock is a famous Art Nouveau artwork, the highlight of the Hoher Markt.
The Painter Franz von Matsch created the clock in the year 1911, as decoration for the hover bow between the buildings of the Anker-Insurance and the neighbour house.
The peculiarity of the clock is a piece parade.
Daily, exactly at 12 o'clock, the doors open, and twelve figures from Vienna's city history appear.
Many tourists wait, daily at this event.
Address: Hoher Markt 10, 1010 Vienna
Metro: U1, U3 - Station Stephansplat
Bus: 1A, 2A, 3A - Station Hoher Markt
Otto-Wagner-Kirche am Spiegelgrund, also called St.Leoplodskirche in Steinhof may be seen only from outside during the week. It dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and was built in Art-Nouveau-style and recently it was totally restored. On the pictures of this tip you may see what it looks from outside and so you may decide for yourself, if you are interested to go there.
This church is to be found at the west-end of Vienna, at the terminus of the busline 48A (leaving at the parliament). At the terminus you have to enter the park of the sanitory and walk uphill for about 300 meters.
The interior of this church may be visited
ONLY at saturdays, through-out the year
at 03.00p.m. in a guided tour for 4 euros
and from 04.00-05.00p.m. on your own
and free of charge !
The " Kaiser-pavillon " was once built especially for the emperor Franz Joseph, so he could take the subway and instead of stepping up the stairs with the ordinary passengers, he would have his very own station, where he could change to his carriage - you still may see the street for the royal carriage there, ending in a covered entree with the royal crown on top.Today the lovely building is a small museum, open only in the afternoon and most people will pass by without noticing.
You may get to this Art-Nouveau-Pavillon when you get out of the subway in Hietzing and walk back to Schoenbrunn castle at the left side of the "Schoenbrunner Allee" - you will see the dome of the pavillon already from the station Hietzing.
Kaiser Franz Joseph used his station ONLY ONCE !
The museum in Otto-Wagner Hofpavillon Hietzing
is open daily without mondays : 01.30-04.30p.m.
Schmetterlingshaus is a must - especially for children & people, young at heart. This great tropical garden is inside the right wing of Palmenhaus/Orangerie of the Hofburg and it is open all of the year ! It is not made like a zoo, where you watch butterflies humming around behind a fine fence, BUT you actually walk inside the palmhouse with great tropical plants and may watch the butterflies from a short distance. Many of them decide to sit at your hand or shoulder and sometimes they wait patiently, untill you have made your photo...
Palmenhaus is open April-October : Monday-Friday :10.00a.m.-04.45p.m.
saturday, sunday & holidays it closes at 06.15p.m.
November - March: daily 10.00a.m. - 03.45p.m.
entrance-fee is 5 Euros / with Wien-card 4 Euros
This the other building made by Otto Wagner, next to Majolikahaus and in my opinion it is even more beautiful with its great golden ornaments. It is a bank today and unfortunately both buildings may not be visited from inside - there are beautifully decorated lifts and stairs.
Click on my pictures and see the great details in the facades and the sculptures at the top of the buildings - they seem to scream down on the people passing by !
This building is on Naschmarkt, opposite of the flea-market that will take place every saturday !
Majolikahaus in Wienzeile Nr. 40 was built by Otto Wagner in 1899 and it was decorated with colored tiles covering almost all of the facade in Jugendstil / Art Nouveau - style. You will see this building, next to another great Jugendstil-building by Otto Wagner next to Naschmarkt and Metrostation Kettenbrueckengasse, where the largest flea-market of Vienna is held every saturday between 07.00a.m. and 03.00p.m.
Everybody is allowed to sell his private goods at that flea-market, you simply have to be there early enough in the morning to get a good place and somebody will walk around selling you a ticket that allows you to stay there as a seller. The fee is really quite low, as long as you are not an ordinary merchant !
This is the Pavillon on Karlsplatz, that used to be a "Stadtbahn"-station once and while it's equivalent is used as a cafe, this one is a great museum with changing exhibitions, but it is mainly interesting for visitors beeing interested in Vienna's Art-Nouveau-style, because the building was restored recently and it also shows some small-scale models of Kirche am Steinhof / Leopoldskirche am Spiegelgrund (see it in my 2nd picture here) and some other works of Otto Wagner that were never built !
In my 4th picture you can see a great wall-decoration in the entrancehall of the pavillon / museum, you are also able to see this through the windows, when the museum is closed !
This market is on a central sidewalk between two streets called Linke (left) and Rechte (right) Wienzeile. This is a fruits and vegetables market. You'll find here some traditional Viennese products too.
Otto Wagner (1841-1918) was one of the most important architects practicing in Vienna at the turn of the last century. He and his colleagues like Alfred Loos (1870-1933) and Joseph Maria Olbrich (1867-1908) wanted an architecture of simpler designs, free of the exuberant neo-baroque details which were a common feature of late nineteenth century buildings. "Simpler design" yes, but not absolutely free of design, as this intricate floral pattern reveals. Equally startling to a turn-of-the-century observer would have been the building's lack of sculpural decoration, especially the omission of mouldings above the windows.
The Postsparkasse was a strikingly modern example of revolutionary architecture when it was constructed at the turn of the century. While it isn't completely without decoration, the emphasis here as on other Wagner buildings was clearly tilting in the direction of functionalism. For example, here Wagner insisted upon the use of aluminium rivets to hold the exterior stone cladding in place. Interesting human figures on the building's roof: so very Art Nouveau that it's a foretaste of Art Deco.
Secession's 1 of the 1st art nouveau buildings (1897/98) and as such it's different from most buildings in Vienna. It was built as an exhibition centre for avant-garde artists.
The 1st thing you'll notice is the cupola of gold-plated laurel branches, known as the 'Krauthappl' (head of cabbage) by the locals.
The Vienna Secession or (also known as Secessionsstil, or Sezessionsstil in Austria) was part of that highly varied movement that is now covered by the general term Art Nouveau. It was formed in 1897 by a group of 19 Vienna artists who had resigned from the Association. The first President was Gustav Klimt. Though you can see this style in many places in Vienna, I would suggest going to the Succesionist building and then heading to some museums to check out other famous secessionists painters: Schiele, Moll, Moser, etc...
That Otto Wagner really got around! One of his earliest fans was his contemporary Hermann Bahr, who wrote that "Without Wagner, there would be no Secession, no Klimt group, no applied Art." One of his many projects was the redesign of the Stadtbahn system, and today, almost one hundred years later, most of the stations on the U-4 and the U-6 lines still display his genius. My friends live just a few minutes walk from the Währinger Strasse station, so I saw his "modernistic application of minimalist design" on a near-daily basis. Clean and unfussy and practical, yet with attractive lines - that's why Wagner is still appreciated in Vienna today.
You can really get fed-up with so much Sissi, Imperial splendor, Wiener Waltzer and Mozart in Vienna. It is time then for discovering other things, like the imaginative Art nouveau architecture (Jugendstyl, Sezession movement). This is a picture of the U-bahn station Karlskirche by architect Otto Wagner. You can see more pictures in the travelogue.

Changes to the team at NAYD
Some short-term changes to the NAYD team will be taking place over the summer.
Some short-term changes to the NAYD team will be taking place over the summer.
The cast of this year's National Youth Theatre came together for three days last week to begin the rehearsal process for NYT 2015. The play, 'Salt Mountain', was written by Carmel Winters and is directed by Jo Mangan. Don't forget there is a special ticket rate for youth theatre group bookings. Youth theatres can also apply for a Go SEE YT Award to support the costs of traveling to Dublin to attend a performance.
This residential course for youth theatre leaders will explore the tools of Playback Theatre. The course is open to all staff and volunteers of the 10 Youth Theatre Training Network organisations. Other youth theatre leaders and facilitators within the NAYD membership can also apply for any remaining course places.
You can now get your tickets for this year's National Youth Theatre production. It will be on stage at the Project Arts Centre from 24 - 29 August. There is a special rate of €12 for youth theatre groups.
We are delighted to announce the cast for Salt Mountain, by Carmel Winters, the NYT production for 2015.
It won't be long until the 13 participating youth theatres are packing their bags and heading to Kilkenny for the National Festival of Youth Theatres. We have put together a team of facilitators to deliver a range of different workshops to the participants.

Bracewell, W.; (2005) New men, old Europe: being a man in Balkan travel writing. Journeys , 6 (1) pp. 88-115. 10.3167/146526005781054196.
Full text not available from this repository.
Much modern Western travel writing presents Eastern Europe, and especially the Balkans, as a sort of museum of masculinity: an area where men, whether revolutionaries, politicians or workers, are depicted as behaving in ways that are seen as almost exaggeratedly masculine according to the standards of the traveller. Physical toughness and violence, sexual conquest and the subordination of women, guns, strong drink and moustaches feature heavily. This is a region where men are men - and sometimes so are the women, whether 'sworn virgins' living their lives as honorary men, heroic female partisans or, in more derisive accounts, alarmingly muscular and hirsute athletes, stewardesses and waitresses. But the notion of a characteristically masculine Balkans is not limited to outsiders. It can appear in travel accounts from the region as well, ranging from Aleko Konstantinov's emblematic fictional Bulgarian traveller, Bai Ganyo Balkanski, with his boorish disregard of European norms of behaviour (Konstantinov 1895/1966), to more polished travel writers who nonetheless find it useful to contrast a 'Balkan' model to Western versions of manliness.

WALLA WALLA -- Lightning can strike the same spot twice, when that spot is the heart of a boy who looks up to his parents and their service.
The Hectors have put out many fires on the old family farms in the hills of Eureka, where in the middle of summer all it takes is one flash to send eyes to the horizon looking for smoke.
"I remember in those days when the lighting would strike and start the wheat fires. And we would be outside looking at the smoke," Larry Hector said.
That was more than half a century ago, when the thunder would rumble across the golden hills of the wheat-covered Palouse.
Minutes later, the Hector's old-fashioned phone with a steel bell clapper would ring, and Jackie Hector would rush to what she knew was probably the start of a long night.
She was a dispatcher for Eureka's first volunteer fire department. And her husband, Leland, Larry Hector's father, was one of the community's first volunteer firefighters.
Jackie would take calls all night and dispatch Leland and the other volunteers to knock down wheat fires.
"It was a good feeling. It was exciting, that they were out there fighting fires. It is kind of like watching Fourth of July, watching fireworks," Hector said.
A few years later, in the 1960s, before the influx of lawsuits and insurance regulations, at age 13 Larry Hector was conscripted by his father to fight fires in the fields.
"You can't do it any more. Now you got to be a member of the fire department ... I was conscripted a lot when I was younger," Larry said.
The rules and equipment may have changed, but lightning still strikes like it used to. And it did again, almost three decades later, in the heart of Freddy Hector.
"Well my mom was the dispatcher. It was before 911. And so I remember as a kid that on lightning storm nights, sitting by the radio and mom dispatching the firefighters out to the wheat fires all night long," Freddy said, describing almost to a T what his father, Larry, described of his parents, Leland and Jackie.
At 34, Freddy is too young to have seen his grandfather and grandmother team up the way his parents did. But he knows their legacy, because it struck him, too.
"I don't ever remember not wanting to be a fireman; it was what I wanted to do since I was a little kid, and I wanted to do it because I really looked up to my dad. And I wanted to be like him," Freddy said.
Like his father, Freddy watched as his mother, Tina, and father worked together.
Tina would answer the dedicated fire dispatch phone. Larry would be at her disposal, along with the rest of the Eureka Volunteer Fire Department.
"Instead of having 911 they had an emergency number that ran to our house. And Mom would set off tones and that would open up radios. And she would dispatch them," Freddy said.
There were other fires. Brush fires. Structure fires. But lighting was what kept them busy.
"Sometimes all night if there was a good lighting storm," Freddy said.
And like his father, one day Freddy would seize his rite of passage, this time on the back of a grass truck, where the 15-year-old fought a 10 foot wall of flames.
"I remember one time we were fighting a fire and I would ride on the back of the fire truck and he (Freddy's father) would drive. And he is inside and I said to him it was getting hot back here. And he said put the fire out and it wouldn't be hot anymore," Freddy said.
"Truth was known he probably was riding with me before then," Larry Hector said, remembering more details than his son.
"If them kids showed and interest, then they went along. He had to be 12, maybe 14 years old, when I actually put him on a hose. And I put him on a fire. It was a wildfire out in Starbuck. And he actually got broken in pretty young."
Though they no longer live in Eureka, the Hectors still fight fires. Larry volunteers for Walla Walla Country Fire District Six in Touchet. Freddy has moved beyond the scope volunteer, and is a paid firefighter and paramedic with the Walla Walla Fire Department.
The two rarely fight fires together anymore. But on Saturday they had the chance to fight their first structure fire together.
It was a training fire. And old farm house on Owens Road needed to come down. Because of its seclusion, structure and size, it was perfect for training new volunteers from Districts Four and Six and College Place.
Larry Hector was there to lend a hand in training, under the respectful leadership of his son, who was in charge of operations inside the burning house.
"For me, it is a role reversal, and an opportunity at 63 to be able to spend my time with my son. And that is something I will never be able to put a price on. It is kind of a gift," Larry said.
And it was a chance to finally work together to put out a structure fire.
Occasionally father and son still work together on occasional medical calls in Touchet.
As a Touchet volunteer and EMT, Larry arrives on scene first. But it is now his son who brings him assurance.
"It's a really proud moment for me, and it is really kind of reassuring," Larry said, explaining what he feels when he faces a complex medical situation and would prefer a paramedic on scene.
"When the medics come on scene, as an EMT you feel relieved. And now it's my son. And it's really a good feeling," Larry said.
Just like it was two decades ago for Freddy.
"It (the flames) could be 10 feet tall, easily bigger. I don't remember being too scared. I trusted my dad."

Vegan Dad: "When you have kids, supper has to be on the table every night. And when you are a vegan, the drive-thru, the deli counter, and TV dinners/frozen convenience foods are not an option. So, you do the best you can. This blog is a record of what my family eats. It's not always a totally complete meal, not always photogenic, and sometimes it's leftovers.

Seeing you char actually swing his sword or shoot an arrow is just mindless graphical effect added on top.
Also, I don't know what EQ2 is like, but with WoW most of the world is static, its all just part of the map. Only a few things like NPCs and player chars actually move, and there is no collision detection on them. E.g. you can't drop a box infront of an NPC and watch him kick it or walk around it. Infact in WoW you can stand infront of an NPC or player and he will just walk straight through you.
There is a network bottleneck when you are in a city with hundreds of players and NPCs around you. The server has to update you with their location several times a second. This is probably why most NPCs in cities don't move. Still, network lag should not affect your framerate. They should be in different threads and independant processes. E.g. in a high load situation you should expect to see characters move in a jerky manner, but you can still rotate your FoV and look around the world with a good framerate.
Quoted for truth.
EQ2 on the other hand is very gpu and cpu limited due to the nature of its coding. What dave touches on is a big problem for most mmo develoeprs. Especially those using new 3d engines. The framerate issue also has alot to do with the way mmo's pre-draw everything behind buildings even if you can't see them. Silly things like database issues, that cause cache lag which eats your memory/swap/hd due to dbase flagging of characters in your vicinities inventory. In EQ2 of course many of the npc's in the cities move around. Designing mmos is so complex most don't understand what they are getting into until they hit closed beta and double digit thousands kill their network and servers, and expose fundemental database flaws. This is one of the main reasons wow had such a long beta period. Wow from closed beta to release, is basically 2 completly different games.

A Pennsylvania man was yelling racial epithets as he fatally shot three Pittsburgh police officers, but a jury hearing the case won't be allowed to listen to those slurs, a judge ruled today, the second day of trial.
Richard Poplawski, who faces the death penalty if convicted, is accused of murdering officers Eric Kelly, Paul Sciullo Jr. and Stephen Mayhle when they responded to a report of a domestic disturbance in April 2009 at a Pittsburgh home the defendant shared with his mother.
Allegheny County Deputy District Attorney Mark Tranquilli said Poplawski's statements to police will reveal a racist bent. The 24-year-old defendant's racial slurs sounded "almost as if he was proud of what he had done. It was his one chance to make the history books," Tranquilli told the jury, according to various media reports. Officer Kelly was black.
Public defender Lisa Middleman, who represents Poplawski, asked Dauphin County Judge Jeffrey A. Manning to redact racial slurs her client made, bringing an objection from the prosecutor. The judge granted the defense request to remove the racial slurs, but allowed the prosecutor to show the jury television news clips from the shooting scene which the public defender described as "inflammatory."
After Poplawski's arrest, a close friend said Poplawski was disturbed about various conspiracy theories he'd heard on Fox News host Glenn Beck's show about the government confiscating guns, declaring martial law and building concentration camps. Poplawski also posted a link to Beck's show on Stormfront.org, a white supremacist website, and was a fan of Alex Jones, a conspiracy-monger who hosts a Texas-based radio show that's extremely popular on the radical right.
It remains unclear at this point if the jury, which is sequestered, will hear any details of Poplawski's extremist leanings. If he's convicted, those details could come during the penalty phase of the trial, when the jury decides whether Poplawski should be sentenced to death or life in prison.
In his opening statement Monday, the prosecutor said the defendant's mother, Margaret Poplawski, called 911 after she and her son got into an argument over his failure to let puppies in the home outdoors to urinate.
After police were called, Tranquilli said, Richard Poplawski donned a bulletproof vest and armed himself with three weapons — an AK-47 assault rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun and a .357 Magnum handgun
When Sciullo arrived at what police expected to be a routine domestic disturbance call, Poplawski killed him with the shotgun, then engaged in a gun battle with Mayhle, who was the second officer to arrive and armed only with his .40-caliber Glock pistol, The Associated Press reported.
Meanwhile, Officer Kelly had just finished his overnight shift and arrived at his home about two blocks from Poplawski's residence when he heard police radio calls about the shootings, Tranquilli said.
The prosecutor told the jury that Kelly never had a chance to get out of his SUV —he was gunned down by Poplawski, who was waiting for him on high ground. Poplawski was wounded before being taken into custody, but has fully recovered.
Poplawski's attorney told the jury that some witnesses and physical evidence will contradict the police version of events. She suggested without elaborating that prosecutors haven't accounted for the actions of Poplawski's mother, who has not been charged. Prosecutors have not suggested that she aided her son in any way.
Middleman told the jury the prosecution was wrongly injecting emotion into the trial by repeatedly referring to the dead officers as "fallen heroes."
The prosecutor also described Poplawski as a coward. "Richard Poplawski decided to shoot each one of [the dead officers] where they lay, just to make sure" they were dead, The AP quoted the prosecutor saying.
Tranquilli also warned the jury to disregard evidence that SWAT officers hit Sciullo with "friendly fire" when they fired back at Poplawski because that happened after he was already dead.
"This case is not about you deciding if these men were fallen heroes," the public defender retorted. "This case isn't about whether he [Poplawski] is a coward … [It] is about whether the prosecution has enough evidence to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt."
Middleman told the jury, which includes two black men, that the prosecution's burden of proof "is not any less because they want to throw racial epithets at you at the start of the case so you will despise the defendant."
The trial is expected to last two weeks.

So, we are duscussing taking a 7 hour car ride on Friday and then making the return trip home on Sunday with our 3 and a half month old.Ā AnyoneĀtaken ĀtheirĀlittle one on a long car ride? How did it go?Ā Was it worth it?
3 and a half month vs. 7 hour car ride
My Mom and I took a 10 hour drive to Midland Texas, with my 2 1/2 month old, ┬Āto get my 3yr old and 4 year old cousins from my uncle. We stopped every 3 hours or so to feed her, change her and to take her out of the car seat for a while. The 10 hour drive turned into a 12-13 hour drive bc of the stops. She was actually very good, she slept a lot we didn't have much issues with her. She has been a really good baby all around.┬Ā
The only issues I had was the ride back with the 3 and 4 year old! ugh! We stopped more often for them than for the baby, and most of the time it was for fake bathroom break (we'd stop but they couldn't or wouldn't try to pee) and stop to change the 3 year old boy's pull up because he apparently hasn't been taught how to tell anyone he has to go, or he wouldn't tell us. We asked him once an hour, and would stop every 2-3 and make them try and he was HORRIBLE. ugh... ill never travel far with the young boys again, but with my daughter, she was easy compared to them.
We took my daughter on an 8 hour trip when she was 1month old and it turned into a 13 hour drive...we also had my 2.5 year old son and we were driving through the night! That will never happen again!! It was awful and we were all exhausted by the time we got there!

When DS was a baby, I took a 10 hour car ride. I was DREADING it because he was 2 months old - in the height of his insane colic. He cried CONSTANTLY! By some miracle, he was a perfect angel on the way there and back. 10 hours and no crying. I was with my parents and we still talk about it til this day because it was the weirdest thing in the world. He would always scream in the car but for that 10 hours trip, not a peep!
Holy fuck!
We took our DS on a 4 hour trip last weekend to my College Homecoming and he did fine!┬Ā I was surprised at how well he did.┬Ā We stopped once only because he pooped in his diaper and needing changing.┬Ā Now he did not do well at the festivites, as I guess it was too loud and too many people !┬Ā Good Luck, as 7 is alot longer than 4.┬Ā

thanks for the advice! All are very much appreicated!
Now I need to try flying with him because I really want my extended family to see him. Nervous about that though!
We moved from Kansas to Dallas it was about 6 hours and baby girl did just fine. she slept a lot

Exchange Server 2007 SP1 SAN Volume Controller VSS TSM 6.1 Backup Solution
Date Added: Jul 2009
Format: PDF
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is a critical application for most, if not all businesses that have deployed it as their email application of choice. Even short periods of unexpected downtime can have a serious impact on productivity and in the event of a system or network failure, the ability to back up and/or restore Exchange data quickly and consistently is vital. The challenges of backing up data - for example, backup jobs exceeding their backup window, inability to backup open files and/or open applications - led to the development of snapshots. Snapshot technology enables administrators to "Snap" a copy of data while allowing applications to continue running. Applications are paused just long enough to allow the disk system to create the snapped copy.

More news in the ever-evolving story of Freddie Mac / Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp (OTCBB:FMCC) and Fannie Mae / Federal National Mortgage Association (OTCBB:FNMA).
wow…. this is a fantastic takedown of Treasury's arguments… When your opposition uses the cases you cite to make your point to effectively bitch slap your argument, you've got a weak hand. Further, given the timing of this, only a week post Treasury's filing one cannot escape the thought they they anticipated Treasury's arguments and were prepared in advance to respond. Now, without even seeing the reply from $FAIRX I can't see how the Treasury gets what it wants in a dismissal.
First lets take a look back at the post I wrote when the government responded.
In that post I laid out the reasons I thought there was material weakness in the case the gov't was then making:
"They use as their prime example the FDIC when it takes over banks. In those circumstances shareholders have no rights to then sue the FDIC for its actions. But I see material weaknesses in that line of thinking.
- The FDIC, when it takes over banks does not operate in conjunction with or partner with the US Treasury
- The FDIC does not give the US Treasury a controlling interest in those banks
- Banks are not Chartered by the US Congress
- Banks are not "government sponsored entities"
- Congress does not directly oversea banks operations
- When the FDIC liquidates banks, the assets are sold to other banks, not given to the US Treasury
- When the FDIC enters bank, it does so with an express plan, that plan is not altered unilaterally when the initial goal is in fact being accomplished
- When the FDIC takes over a bank, it does not then encourage the public to continue to make investments in the securities of that bank
- If the bank is being rehabilitated, the FDIC does not alter terms of investments to favor one investor over every other investor
- The FDIC does not need gov't approval to take over a bank, in no way could they unilaterally against towards to Fannie Mae / Federal National Mortgage Association (OTCBB:FNMA) and Freddie Mac / Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp (OTCBB:FMCC)"
Washington Federal responded to the motion today and one passage in particular tell you where they are going:
The Government next claims Plaintiffs lack "standing" to bring this action because, under HERA, it suggests, FHFA assumed all rights of the Companies' shareholders, including the ability to bring suit. But this argument ignores a well-recognized exception applicable when a conservator has a conflict of interest because of its entanglement with "closely related" government entities. As described above, the Complaint alleges the existence of such an entanglement here. The Government further claims that Plaintiffs lack standing to recover the Companies' lost profits. But Plaintiffs are not seeking to recover profits that belong to the Companies themselves: they are seeking to recover for the destruction of the value of their shares. Moreover, Plaintiffs can directly recover based on the Companies' overpayment to the Government for access to Treasury funds, which caused Plaintiffs to lose the economic value and voting power of their shares.
Plaintiffs have sufficiently alleged that the conservatorships constituted an unconstitutional taking. As an initial matter, Plaintiffs' claims are ripe for review. Indeed, the Government would force Plaintiffs to wait until their claims were barred by the statute of limitations before this Court could find them sufficiently "ripe." More substantively, this Court has recently reiterated in Starr International Co. v. United States that Plaintiffs have a cognizable property interest in their shares. The Government's actions clearly affected the value of those shares and Plaintiffs' other ownership interests. Plaintiffs had reasonable-investment backed expectations that the Government would not take over the Companies for its own purposes, thereby destroying the value of their shares and their rights as shareholders. As much as the Government would like the Court to believe otherwise, the Companies were not engaged in banking and thus were not part of the "highly regulated" banking industry, where regulatory takeovers are more common. Thus, there is no basis for suggesting that Plaintiffs should have reasonably anticipated the Government's actions here, particularly where, just months before the conservatorships were imposed, the Government repeatedly represented that there was no need to impose them because the Companies were financially sound. The Government was not "rescuing" the Companies as would be done in a traditional conservatorship. At best, it was cleaning up its own mess after directing the Companies to make high-risk investments.
As I noted before the gov't's attempts to paint this as a simple FDIC like action fail almost every reasonable test based on the inextricable relationship of the FHFA and Treasury. The FHFA cannot pretend to be a "non gov't" entity. As for the claim:
The Government's actions were not lawful under HERA. If the Government's argument is true, the Government could have imposed the conservatorships to do whatever it wished with the Companies. Instead, HERA established FHFA's duty to preserve the Companies' assets, and that duty creates a money mandating obligation. FHFA has done precisely the opposite by giving away the Companies' assets virtually for free to Treasury.
Now, this complaint goes a step further and says the very act of the conservatorship was illegal:
HERA provides for 12 circumstances under which FHFA could place the Companies into conservatorship. 12 U.S.C. § 4617(a)(3)(A)-(L); Compl. ¶ 91. None of these statutory grounds existed with respect to either Company because:
(1) the Companies' assets were greater than their obligations to their creditors and others, see id. ¶¶ 93-98; (
2) neither of the Companies had experienced a substantial dissipation of assets or earnings due to i) any violation of any provision of federal or state law or ii) any unsafe or unsound practice, see id. ¶¶ 99-105;
(3) neither Company was operating in an unsafe or unsound condition to transact business, see id. ¶¶ 106- 12;5
(4) neither Company was in violation of a cease or desist order, see id. ¶¶ 113-15;
(5) neither Company concealed or refused to submit any books and records, see id. ¶¶ 116-18;
(6) the Companies were able to pay their obligations and meet the demands of their creditors, see id. ¶¶ 119-24;
(7) neither Company had incurred or was likely to incur losses that would deplete all or substantially all of their capital, see id. ¶¶ 125-33;
(8) neither Company violated any law or regulation, or engaged in any unsafe or unsound practice or condition that would likely cause insolvency, a substantial dissipation of assets or earnings, or a weakening of its condition, see id. ¶¶ 134-36;6
(9) the Companies did not consent to the appointment of a conservator, see id. ¶¶ 137-40;7 (
10) neither Company was undercapitalized, see id. ¶¶ 141-48;
(11) or critically undercapitalized, see id. ¶¶ 149-51;8 and
(12) neither Company was found guilty of money laundering, see id. ¶¶ 152-53.
Thus, there was no legal basis for the Government to place the Companies into receivership or conservatorship. Compl. ¶ 92.
Now, the gov't claims the Conservatorship was legal because the entities were "operating in an unsafe and unsound manner" ((3) above). Here is the problem with that. They operated at the direction of both Congress and their regulator OFHEO (later FHFA). So, if that is true, then to take these companies from the shareholders and effectively hand them over to the entities that created the problem, is illegal.
The gov't also argued that the claims here were not valid under the Tucker Act. In response:'
See id. at 1353-54. Importantly, the court also held that any collusion between the FDIC and the Department of Justice that misled the plaintiffs "would make the United States responsible for the conduct of the FDIC," thus providing a basis to exercise jurisdiction. Id. at 1354.
Applying the collusion exception in Frazer to the facts of this case, the Complaint alleges numerous acts by FHFA clearly indicating that it was in collusion with Treasury, thus requiring the United States to answer for FHFA's conduct in its purported role as conservator. As detailed throughout the Complaint, FHFA's actions during the ongoing, apparently indefinite conservatorships were inextricably intertwined with Treasury's directives and goals. Both FHFA and OFHEO, its predecessor, directed that the Companies purchase and provide guarantees for subprime and other high risk securities and caused the Companies to suffer significant losses on certain portfolio holdings. Compl. ¶¶ 2, 4, 49-55. Then, after encouraging the Companies to purchase and guarantee bad mortgage debt after other financial institutions had left the market, the Government, including FHFA, ordered the Companies to warehouse additional bad debt from the books of other larger financial institutions. Id. ¶¶ 5, 14-16. At the same time, while purportedly being charged with the power to "take such action as may be . . . necessary to put the regulated entit[ies] in a sound and solvent condition[] and . . . appropriate to carry on the business of the regulated entit[ies] and conserve the assets and property of the regulated entit[ies]," 12 U.S.C. §4617(b)(2)(D), the Government set strict limits on the
