When apartment blocks are built of asparagus
by Sandra HofmeisterDesigns by architect Terunobu Fujimori present an encounter between the archaic and the futuristic. Up to now, all of his buildings have been in Japan.

For example, the design for a temporary art gallery in Berlin that seems to float like a cloud over Schlossplatz.
The "Building with timber" exhibition in Munich documents the potentialities afforded by this ancient material, making adventurous constructions a real possibility for the future. Rather than the undifferentiated use of the term "sustainability" as a mere marketing slogan, dates and facts are subject to strong analysis – presenting accomplished examples of application.

Woolen blanket like a mythical sealskin
by Anne KaestnerAnyone visiting Frankfurt over the next couple of weeks will simply encounter Iceland everywhere. The remote fabulous country is Guest of Honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair this year and the Museum für Angewandte Kunst has just opened an exhibition on Icelandic design. Above all fashion labels such as Spaksmannsspjarir, Mundi, Ásta Créative Clothes, Barbara I Gongini and Shoplifter are now the talk of the town here.
"Maniera Moderna" at Haus der Kunst in Munich is dedicated to the multi-faceted oeuvre of Italian architect, designer and photographer Carlo Mollino. The exhibition is not the first to address the Turin polymath's remarkable oeuvre. But it is certainly the most ambitious, as it focuses on Mollino's oeuvre as a whole.
About half of all the high-rises that stand in the cities of this world have been built in the last decade. Curator Andres Janser sets out in his show "High-Rises - Dream and Reality" at Museum für Gestaltung Zürich to explore what is behind this boom.

Only the copy makes the original
by Thomas EdelmannIt is well known that copycat versions of design objects cause high economic losses. That said, at universities copying is still considered a practical principle in learning. The upshot of this may be surprising – even pirate copies can sometimes lead to new insights.
We have always known that Germans love cars. We can only conjecture what kind of fantasies surround the cult object. The exhibition "Fetisch Auto.

With the exhibition "Small Scale, Big Change", the Museum of Modern Art in New York City is honoring socially motivated architecture from around the world. On display are eleven projects which, detached from the mainstream, help to improve local living conditions. As meager as the means may in some cases be, the impact this commitment to building has is astonishing.
The exhibition entitled "Ideen sitzen / Ideas that sit well" at Hamburg's Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe invites visitors to peruse chairs, armchairs and sofas. The tour of the museum swiftly morphs into a voyage of discovery through the history of interior design, if not even the history of ideas and cultural history of recent decades.
Few are quite as conversant withthe language of fashion as Hussein Chalayan. It is no wonder, then, that the British fashion designer's retrospective - currently on show at the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art - is based on the alphabet. This certainly does not mean, though, that the order of the characters is set in stone. Nor, indeed, that a final end point is visible. Chalayan's language incorporates the body, space, image, music, text and textiles, functioning on the borders of what can be said.
Concluding our series on the Architecture Biennial we ask: What vision of architecture do the exhibitions and contributions communicate? What attitudes do the architects take towards the past, present and future, and what role do power, experience and atmosphere play?

Designing a different society
by Claus KäpplingerIn Israel, back in the days while it was still young, the kibbutzim played a crucial role as places where a different, collective way of life beyond capitalist production practices was tested. An excellent exhibition at the Israeli Pavilion reminds us of the peculiarities of kibbutz architecture and aims to build a bridge to the future.

The bridge across the valley
by Claus KäpplingerHere, construction comes into its own. Connections are not talked about but simply shown - modestly but accurately in black and white. "Landschaft und Kunstbauten" (Landscape and Engineering Structures) is the title of the exhibition realized at the Swiss Pavilion by the renowned engineer Jürg Conzett from Chur. It mostly features bridges in Switzerland.
The Kingdom of Bahrain has taken the Biennial's motto very seriously: People meet, take a seat, watch, listen, dream. What better place to sit and think about the loss of identity, the increase in urban space and the magic of the sea than in fisherman's huts from the beach in Bahrain that were taken down with their owners' permission. And there is already one tangible result: the Golden Lion for the best country contribution.

Protest in the City
by Silke Gehrmann-BeckerMuseum Folkwang's "Hacking the City" exhibition features interventions in urban and communicative spaces. Artists, Web designers, street artists and musicians address types of public action and practiced forms of resistance. A courageous approach by the museum in Essen that definitely bears continuing - let's hope the exhibition and events series takes things to an even more intensive point.
The British Pavilion has opened its doors to a School of Seeing. Given the wealth of models, photographs, maps, drawings, notes, film and exhibits from various ages that comment on one another here, indeed seem to generate one another, all the media manifestations, differences in genres and lines dividing the epochs seem to have little validity. At "Villa Frankenstein", where architecture, art and historiography bid you good night, order gets upended.

The activist
by Nina ReetzkeIn the 1930s, Charlotte Perriand was convinced that it was necessary to fight for a better future. Not only did she strive for new forms in design, but she also sought to improve social conditions through design and architecture. She employed large photo collages on which she had applied layers of writing to communicate her political and social messages. The Museum of Design in Zurich is now holding an exhibition dedicated to these works.
The projects by the artists' and architects' collective "Raumlaborberlin" are far from being conventional.

The prize-winning high-rise stands out less for its height and futuristic design than for its overall quality.
Simple elements that make planning and construction much easier – architects have been looking into the possibilities afforded by modular construction for quite some time now. What do these modules require in order to fulfill the basic functions of a living and working space and simultaneously remain adaptable in their implementation? The exhibition, "Architekturteilchen", at Cologne Museum of Applied Art takes a closer look at this question.
Historical settings and paintings formed an atmospheric backdrop for exhibitions on Gio Ponti, Venini and Foscarini during the Salone del Mobile in Milan.
The exhibition "Building the Revolution" at Berlin's Martin Gropius Bau presents a range of Soviet art and architecture from the period 1915-35. The geometric idiom typical of these works lends the art an architectural feel as expressed in names such as "Painterly architecture".
"I don't draw – I photograph!," says John Pawson. And we can readily believe him: in the course of the last decade the British architect has shot over 250,000 photos. And for the first time a selection is on show at Munich Technical University's Architecture Museum attached to Pinakothek der Moderne.
In terms of graphic design, Switzerland is a world leader. Züricher Museum für Gestaltung, the Zurich Design Museum, is currently demonstrating why, in a show that provides an overview of all Swiss design has to offer and is well worth seeing.
Designers are continually designing and developing new chairs. So is it really necessary for architects to also try their hand at furniture design? And are the objects possibly merely miniatures of their architecture? "Von Aalto bis Zumthor: Architektenmöbel" (From Aalto to Zumthor: Furniture by architects) in the Cologne Museum of Applied Art is a show that proves this is definitely not the case.
Over a period of two years, Ingrid von Kruse photographed stars of the international architecture scene. A selection of these, portraits of celebrities such as Bjarke Ingels, Peter Zumthor and Oscar Niemeyer, is currently on show at Deutsches Architekturmuseum under the title "Eminent Architects". The pictures are a testimony to the photographer's masterly and sensitive approach; only the presentation, as though in a hall of fame, leaves something to be desired.
It is Hannes Wettstein's former desk that is attracting particular attention at the exhibition currently being held at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule – ETH). The found objects and equipment on display there show the Swiss industrial designer, who died in 2008, to have been an inspired and inspiring person. It is definitely a good thing that all of the sum total of 347 projects he is recorded as having made have for the first time been extensively documented in an exhibition and catalog.
Tomás Saraceno's "Cloud Cities" currently occupy Berlin's Hamburger Bahnhof as if they were some utopia. Yet many of the seemingly spaceless and timeless spheres are there not just to be seen, but to be entered. While these transparent structures are fascinating from the inside and the outside, the exhibition as a whole does not succeed in more closely defining Saraceno's artistic position. Yet it's certainly worth a visit.
For people already familiar with Apple, there are not likely to be many surprises in the exhibition "Stylectrical – von Elektrodesign, das Geschichte schreibt" (Stylectrical – on history-making, electrical design) at the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Hamburg.

Under the heading of "Chronochaos" Rem Koolhaas presents his proposals for the preservation of monuments and historical buildings. In one of the rooms at the back of Palazzo delle Esposizioni, visitors come face to face with photos, furniture and documents, some of which are stored as if in an archive. The architect has dedicated himself to a topic that comes as a surprise not only for the Biennial, but also for himself and his OMA studio.
Oscar Niemeyer still works as an architect - at the grand old age of 102. As the exhibition in the Brazilian pavilion proves conclusively. The title "Brasilia - 50 Years On" whets the viewer's appetite; after all, the rigorously modern city was the promise of the day. Alongside Niemeyer, who designed the ideal city's most important buildings, the works of a new generation of young architects are also on display. Nonetheless, the Biennial's perhaps most interesting contribution to Brazilian architecture is actually to be found elsewhere.
When the world changes, architecture changes, too. That sounds easier than it is. So what do the visions of the many different "futures" gathered at the Architecture Biennial look like? And what role does the past play in them?

Producing atmospheres or Close Links to Art
by Carsten KrohnNever before was an architecture biennial so similar to an art biennial. Indeed, the latest rivalry among star architects to devise ever more eccentric shapes spawned objects that were commissioned if only for their "sculptural" qualities. At the first architecture biennial since the Big Crash the focus is closer to art again - against the background of the skepticism towards the once booming "signature architecture".
The solution need not always be a new building. And in the French Pavilion Dominique Perrault therefore asks how empty spaces in a city are handled and how we can rejuvenate our metropolitan peripheries. The Dutch Pavilion also focuses on how the existing can best be used. Here, Rietveld Landscape addresses the use of government-owned vacant buildings.
Kazuyo Sejima, the Director of the 12th Venice Architecture Biennial, has pulled something special out of the bag with the central exhibition "People meet in Architecture".

text: US Moves to Seize Four Mosques, Claiming Secret Iranian Control By Jason Ditz In a move being touted as "a sharp blow against Iran,†the United States government is attempted to seize four Shi'ite mosques across the United States, calling it the largest `anti-terror' seizure ever and claiming the non-profit which operates them is secretly a front for the Iranian government. The four mosques are located across the United States, in New York City, Houston, Carmichael California, and Potomac, Maryland. The non-profit Alavi Foundation faces formal charges of violating 1995 sanctions signed by President Clinton. The group is funded principally through rent collected at a New York City skyscraper it owns, which the government also intends to seize. They provide funds to a myriad of Shi'ite religious institutions in the US and Canada and support for Farsi language education programs in US schools. They also provide interest free loans for Iranian-Americans to attend college in the US. The seizure of the mosques by the federal government will be a serious hardship for worshippers, of course, but the capture of the 35-year old foundation's assets and its dissolution will be devastating for America's tiny Shi'ite community, which amounts to only about one tenth of one percent of all Americans. Though the seizure of churches by the federal government is not unprecedented, it is extremely rare and fraught with controversy. The seizure of private religious institutions on the premise that they are covertly controlled by an "enemy state†only makes this move all the more controversial and will likely prove troubling to many Americans, Shi'ite or otherwise. 11-48 November 19, 2009 by TMO 0 comments 10 viewson *The Muslim Observer, 11-48, National, Volume 11 Share this post Facebook Twitter Google plus Pinterest Linkedin Mail this article Print this article Tags: America, California, Canada, carmichael california, enemy state, Government, Houston, interest free loans, Iran, iranian americans, ite, Jason Ditz, Maryland, move, New York City, President Clinton, religious institutions, seizure, Shi, United States, US Next: The Great American Fraud Previous: Harun Yahya – Secrets of the Hypocrites

Sammamish Parks Department explains long-term plans
June 19, 2014
By Ari Cetron
New: June 19, 10:14 a.m.
If you build it, you must mow.
The Sammamish Parks Department presented a plan for a series of construction projects over the next few years, but one councilwoman wanted to know where the city would find money to maintain all the new facilities in the plan.
If everything is built as planned – which is far from a certainty – it could cost the city $35.7 million in construction costs over the next five years ($22.6 million of that is related to the community center). Even if the plan is approved, the City Council must then fund each project as part of the city's budgeting process.
While much of the funding for building new parks comes from impact fees and real-estate taxes, that doesn't help with maintaining them, noted Councilwoman Nancy Whitten during a June 10 meeting of the City Council and Parks Commission.
"Can we take a global look at a sustainable source for maintenance?" she said.
She applauded the department's efforts to build parks that would meet the needs of city residents, but said that just looking at the construction costs, without considering the long-term liabilities of maintenance, is short-sighted.
"We're on an excellent track … but we do need to take a look at this other piece," she said.
Councilman Ramiro Valderrama agreed with Whitten. He said parks represent the largest slice of the city budget after public safety, and is also the fastest-growing category.
"I think sustainability needs to be looked at," he said.
City Manager Ben Yazici laid out the traditional methods for government to find money: It can cut services in other areas, raise taxes, try to find partnerships with other entities, or possibly establish private "friends" groups to raise funds.
"You can hold garage sales, cookie sales," he said jokingly.
He said that he'll have a better sense of the city's long- term needs later this year as he prepares the budget for 2015-16.
New plans in the plan
The discussion took place as Parks Director Jessi Bon unveiled the Capital Improvement Plan at the June 10 meeting. As is typical with capital plans, it previews the next few years and lays out a schedule for designing and/or building new parks facilities.
The plan does not commit the city to spending any money – it lays out a wish list of sorts. The council must still approve the expenditures as part of its annual budget.
As is typical, parts of the plan are shifted from year to year as priorities change. This year's CIP has some changes from previous years, perhaps the most notable one calling for a 2015 feasibility study for a new field house.
The indoor facility would go on land owned by the YMCA near Pine Lake Middle School. As part of the deal for constructing the community center, the city is expected to complete such a study within five years, Bon said.
Bon said the study, which she estimated at $200,000 over two years, would cover feasibility and estimate construction costs, as well as ongoing maintenance and operations costs if it should be built.
"We'll look at both pieces," she said.
Since the parks department will have their hands full administering several projects, Bon suggested moving the master plan for 30 Acres Park, which had been slated to start next year, to 2017. That's a placeholder name for a 30-acre chunk of Soaring Eagle Park which abuts the northern edge of the Trossachs neighborhood.
King County gave the 30 acres to Sammamish as part of a deal finalized in 2012. The plan estimates the design phase of the park will cost $250,000.
The plan completely removes construction of a trail from Beaver Lake Preserve to Beaver Lake Park. The $1.1 million project had been slated to start design work next year.
Bon noted that such a trail, which would go along city streets, is outside of the parks department's area of expertise, and that it calls for a more comprehensive solution. She said the $1.1 million will be kept in the budget for other trail projects.
The department's maintenance work is actually helping stave off some major expenses, Bon noted. The city had set aside $1 million for replacing the turf fields at Eastlake High School in 2015, and another $1 million to replace the fields at Skyline High in 2016.
Bon said the city maintains those fields at the highest standards, meaning they can push back the replacement by a year for each field. When the fields had been installed, the city expected to have to replace the turf after seven years. Good maintenance work has lengthened the life span to 10-12 years, and maybe even more.
"We're getting many more years than was anticipated," Yazici said.
Yazici also took a moment to praise the investment in the fields. As an avid soccer player, Yazici uses them regularly.
"These fields are busy. Our community is using it," he said.
Other big-ticket items called for envisioning changes to Sammamish Landing and Big Rock parks. (See related stories).
The council is set to vote on the plan at its June 17 meeting.

Yeah, the local store near me has a liquor section.
BJW, let me know how you go, as time ran away from me today and I didnt get a chance to get out.
If I cant find it in store tomorrow I am just going to order online.
Finally something from Four Roses is available here for a reasonable price. That's good.
Unfortunately Aldi Liquor don't deliver to the West Coast. That's bad.
I question if it's a permanent line. My guess is they're bringing it in as a once-off via the UK (the fact it is 700ml and not 750ml gives this away). From what I understand they're allocating stock to a lot of their current markets, so it makes no sense to open here with small batch.
I am sure your right Cam. But I am not going to complain.
Local store had nothing, so I am going to guess its online only. So I ordered 3 and a bottle of scotch for the girl.
Finished off the last couple of pours of Old Virginia 6yo last night. Mixed it with coke after a long afternoon in the garden. Moved onto some Heaven Hill Special Select (SB bottling) - a truely supurb pour!
I put in my Aldi order for Four roses, and also grabbed a 1l Makers Mark (45% !) . Grabbed a few cheap sparkling wines etc for the Mrs. All shipped for $7 postage. Very reasonable really.

Assault rifle
- Filed Under
Who's to blame for all the gun-generated tragedies this country has been witnessing? It's obvious that the deranged shooters along with the National Rifle Association are contributing factors, but there's also a less obvious factor that also is big. That's the group of parents, grandparents and other decent law-abiding Americans that know in their hearts that we need some sensible gun control in this country but don't use the power of their vote to bring this about.
I can't fathom how good Americans can continue to sit by and watch little children get slaughtered and do nothing more than talk about what a tragedy it was. It's time to turn talk into action and wake up those elected officials who are controlled by the NRA and bombard them with thousands of emails, letters and phone calls. They need to know that the voters are now paying attention to their voting records. Rep. Tom Petri has my email already.
It would be nearly impossible to eliminate these tragedies altogether, but we can certainly lessen the number of innocent people killed at these events by banning the assault rifles and large-capacity magazines that have absolutely no practical use in our civilian society.
Assault rifles have one use only and that is to kill a whole lot of human beings quickly. Any knowledgeable hunter could tell you that assault rifles are not a good option in the field.
I would hope that this latest act of gun violence would spur voters to say that enough is enough and disregard what will be the NRA's efforts to downplay its role in the latest disaster.

NEWBURGH, N.Y. - Authorities say a 46-year-old thief has been caught stealing nothing but the kitchen sink from a Hudson Valley homeowner, The Times Herald-Record reports.
Police in the city of Newburgh tell the Times Herald-Record of Middletown (http://bit.ly/1kkQD8R ) that officers responded last Wednesday morning to a report of a man looking into cars.
A homeowner met officers and said the man was inside his garage. Police say the officers checked the garage and found the man holding a kitchen sink.
He was charged with felony burglary and is being held in the Orange County Jail without bail.

A change of perspective might be a good idea when considering the lessons of fairy tales.
That's at least what's happening for three actors performing in "Into the Woods" at Harwich Junior Theatre. They had performed before — including at HJT more than a decade ago — in the 1987 Stephen Sondheim-James Lapine musical that combines fairy-tale characters into a new adventure, but now the actors are playing different roles.
"That's made the experience kind of great for them, I think," says director David McCarty of experiencing the story from another character's point of view.
Last time, Donna Credit played the Witch, but McCarty cast her as the mother of Jack, of Beanstalk fame. "From Day One, she and Jon (Jonathan Cornet, playing Jack) immediately hit it off. ... They've developed a great trust and friendship."
Caitlin Mills plays the Witch, after having played a stepsister to Cinderella and the Baker's Wife in other productions of the show. "That's been quite a progression for her," McCarty says.
Duncan Macallister played the Narrator/Mysterious Man in the past, but this time, he's in another dual role: Cinderella's Prince and the Wolf, which McCarty says has proved to be "a very attractive challenge to him."
The director didn't intend to make those changes, and didn't include a question about preferred roles on his audition sheet. But he started asking the finalists to try different parts.
"I could see people squinting and thinking 'Whaaat?"
McCarty then asked them to write down in confidence what role they saw themselves doing, and all three actors wrote something along the lines of, he says, "any way you see me; maybe this, but I'm open to whatever."
"That was cool, and that was interesting," he says.
They all wanted to come back to this show, and new actors — including some new to HJT — wanted to be involved because "Into the Woods," McCarty says, "is an amazing piece. ... Of all of (Sondheim's) musicals, this one just really speaks and has such a message in it, with the metaphors it has. It's really beautiful."
He has high praise for those actors and the rest of the cast for navigating, with music director Robert Wilder, through Sondheim's often complex music. More than many musicals, the smaller roles are key as very specific characters.
"You really build an ensemble and get a great feeling because nobody escapes the finale or the beginning," McCarty says. "I think it builds a great company and a great ensemble. ('Into the Woods') is just a delightful piece on a lot of levels."
McCarty was first involved at HJT as a teen actor decades ago and has performed there at other times. This is his first directorial job at the West Harwich theater, though, and he's thrilled at the design team helping him to create the fairy-tale world. He also agreed to direct "Into the Woods" because he's generally a Sondheim fan, but this show is dear to his heart from college days.
When he was studying at Boston University in the late 1980s, McCarty says, he was part of a group putting on a benefit with a Sondheim revue, and the composer himself gave McCarty and a co-star permission to sing the princes' duet "Agony" before anyone outside the Broadway cast.
More on HJT: Auditions will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday and Monday for its May musical "Once on This Island." HJT is looking for performers of all ethnicities. The directors hope to bring in people new to the company, and perhaps to theater, for this production and create an enthnically diverse cast.
The show is a contemporary, Caribbean-flavored musical by the Tony Award-winning songwriting team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty about a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with a wealthy boy from the other side of the island. Gods of the island test the girl's love in the unusual adaptation of the story of "The Little Mermaid." The show — directed by Lisa Canto, with musical direction by Robert Wilder and choreography by Tristan DiVencenzo — will run May 8-June 8. Auditions are at the theater at 105 Division St., West Harwich. Information: 508-432-2002 ext. 12.
And HJT just announced its full season through September. Up next, after "Into the Woods," is "Stuart Little," about a mouse who lives with a human family, running April 11-27. After "Once on This Island," the summer season will be: "A Wrinkle in Time," based on Madeline L'Engle's classic story of a brother and sister who have to travel through space and time to save their father, June 24-July 12; "Dr. Dolittle," about a veterinarian who could talk to the animals, July 17-Aug. 2; and "The Neverending Story," about a lonely boy who finds an adventure come alive from a special book, Aug. 7-24.
The Junior Players will perform eight 11 a.m. matinees in July and August of "The Stinky Cheese Man," a parody about fairy tale classics. And "Always ... Patsy Cline" will return with Laura Cappello and Suzette Hutchinson telling the story of the music legend (dates to be announced).
The Marshfield-based Bay Colony Shakespeare Company will bring its traveling production of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" to Cotuit Center for the Arts for two performances, at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the Art Studio there.
This streamlined and fast-paced version, directed by Ross MacDonald, includes actors doubling as musicians and stage combatants, according to a press release. The play is set in 17th-century Denmark, when a prince returns to mourn the loss of his father, the King, and his world begins to unravel.
Bay Colony refers to "Hamlet" as "one of Shakespeare's greatest tales woven into a world of warriors, courtiers, scholars, maidens, scandal, sex, intrigue, war, betrayal, murder and revenge," with Hamlet realizing that "to gain his own salvation he must be prepared to lose it all, including his mind."
The cast includes James Bocock, Cameron Beaty Gosselin, Tom Grenon, Jess Guyon, Liz Hartford, Alexander Joseph, Ross Magnant, Erica Simpson and Meredith Stypinski.
The founder and artistic director for Bay Colony Shakespeare Company is Barnstable High graduate Neil McGarry.
The Cotuit center is at 4404 Route 28. Tickets for "Hamlet" are $20, $15 for members. Cotuit Center for the Arts is at 4404 Route 28 in Cotuit. Information: artsonthecape.org or 508-428-0669.
Nantucket's White Heron Theatre Company will launch a "New Plays Collaborative" this summer with Long Wharf Theatre, a Tony Award-winning regional theater in Connecticut.
The two companies will work on the island in June to develop new work by an established playwright, who was not named in a press release on the new venture and is due to be announced "in coming weeks."
"We are pleased to be Long Wharf's summer home for new play development," White Heron artistic director Lynne Bolton said in the release. She said her company is committed to developing new plays and "Long Wharf has been committed to new plays and has transferred over 30 plays to Broadway or off-Broadway. ... We are excited to be part of the process that will create new work and carry both the White Heron name and Nantucket out into the American theater."
The White Heron/Long Wharf connection actually began last summer with the reading of a play, "4,000 Miles," starring Judith Ivey and directed by Gordon Edelstein, Long Wharf's artistic director. Similar readings of a new play, open to the public, will now take place July 3 and 5 at White Heron's tent at 5 N. Water St.
Edelestein said in the release that he was pleased to start this relationship with White Heron, and the partnership continues Long Wharf's legacy of "being innovators in the field of new play development."
"New play development is vitally important to the health of our theater, and for the art for as a whole," he said. "To have a place to incubate these new projects is invaluable."
Edelstein and the cast will do a Q&A session on July 5.
The multi-award-winning Long Wharf recently staged world premieres by Craig Lucas, Paula Vogel, Athol Fugard and Anna Deavere Smith, among others. Many leading actors have performed there. Shows that have moved from Long Wharf to Broadway have included the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Wit" and "The Shadow Box," as well as "American Buffalo," "The Gin Game" and "Requiem for a Heavyweight."

Is There a Carpal Tunnel Cure?
Though there are many false claims about cures for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a "Syndrome" not a disease, so there is no "Carpal Tunnel Cure" per se. However, The Carpal Solution Therapy is the closest thing to a cure that you will find. Many Carpal Tunnel Syndrome sufferers find reliable relief from their painful symptoms, sleep disturbance, and loss of hand functionality using the Carpal Solution and think of it as a cure, but even with the remarkable results of the Carpal Solution the CTS symptoms are likely to come back within a couple of years.
Even after surgery Carpal Tunnel Symptoms often come back within two years. This why surgeons will often say change your career or hobby and schedule surgery. This is why we say there is no cure because the symptoms do come back. This is also why you should look for a natural therapy that involves no risk, no downtime and little expense and is private and convenient, like the Carpal Solution.
The standard treatment protocols currently offered by the healthcare delivery system are not considered effective by most CTS sufferers. There are few areas in the standard healthcare delivery system where the treatment options result in such high patient dissatisfaction, as the historic Carpal Tunnel treatment regimens.
The Carpal Solution is a unique new therapy developed by a physician specializing in CTS treatment. The Carpal Solution offers relief from your worst CTS pain and hand tingling or numbness in days with treatment in the privacy of one's own home and complete remission within 6 weeks. It is different from other over-the-counter CTS treatments.
It is not a rigid restrictive immobilizing brace. Worn during sleep, the Carpal Solution gently reshapes soft tissue in and around the Carpal Tunnel and eliminates hand pain, finger numbness and sleep interruption. It allows people to quickly get back to their active life style by retraining the soft tissue and relieving pressure on the Median Nerve.
For people that actively use their hands, the treatment regimen always requires some repetition to keep the Carpal Tunnel Symptoms in check. Many people refer to the Carpal Solution as a cure or remedy for Carpal Tunnel, because it is so easy, inexpensive and allows people to manage their symptoms without complications, risks of surgery or downtime. There is no need any more to give up the things you love.
The Carpal Solution is the Next Best Thing to a Carpal Tunnel Cure.
The symptoms go away for a year or two and when they come back, you have a reliable all natural treatment you can depend on to manage this often frustrating condition. The key is learning how to manage the symptoms with the least interruption to your busy life.

The Carpal Solution gently tugs simultaneously at three key points on the palm surrounding the carpal tunnel during sleep. Consistent gentle stretching action applied for 6 to 8 hours while the hand is relaxed, decompresses and reshapes the soft tissue around the carpal tunnel relieving pressure on the Median Nerve.
After trying immobilizing wrist splints or rigid braces, localized steroid injections, and extended rest from activity, most CTS Sufferers find themselves in the reluctant position of prioritizing their daily activities and putting whole segments of their former lives on hold, trying to avoid high risk Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery. Since surgery has not proven effective for a high percentage of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome sufferers, most CTS Sufferers look to surgery as a last resort and are determined to find other less invasive ways to control their symptoms.
Often hand surgeons tell confirmed CTS Sufferers to change their careers or hobbies and schedule surgery, because if hand activity continues, there is a high probability of repeat surgery. For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, surgery is not a "Cure" either. And most surgeons will only repeat the surgery one time due to scarring and weakening of the Transverse Carpal Ligament that takes place during surgery. CTS Sufferers understandably ask, "What is the point of surgery, if I have to give up my career or the things I love to do?" Most physicians, healthcare professionals and insurance companies recommend that all conservative treatment options be exhausted before a person submits to CTS surgery.
The Carpal Solution is an ideal therapy for CTS, because it is all natural and since it is only worn at night during sleep, it does not interrupt a person's active life. In fact, Dr. Morgan, the physician who developed Carpal Solution Therapy, suggests that CTS Sufferers combine nightly Carpal Solution Therapy with active hand use during the day. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a hidden disability, where most people do not know someone is even suffering from CTS. The sufferer silently puts big parts of their life on hold, until it progresses to the most chronic stages. With Carpal Solution therapy no one needs to know about CTS, since you only wear the Carpal Solution when you are asleep and are encouraged to use your hands actively during the day. Also, when caught early the symptoms never progress to the chronic stages.
Dr. Morgan recommends, "Even though patients experience relief of their Carpal Tunnel Symptoms early, they still need to complete the Full Six Week Carpal Solution Treatment Protocol to keep the 'Syndrome' under control." Once the Six Week Protocol is complete, most CTS Sufferers will find their symptoms are in remission for months. "For those continuing with active hand use," Dr. Morgan suggests, "a proactive hand health maintenance program using the Carpal Solution only one night per week will keep CTS symptoms in check."
While there is no permanent fix for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, it comes back even after surgery. The Carpal Solution Carpal Tunnel Treatment is the next best thing to a cure. It is an all natural carpal tunnel treatment. It is clinically documented to work. It works for 97% of people with Carpal Tunnel. The Carpal Solution was developed by a Doctor working with patients and is patented medical technology. It has been registered with the FDA and it has been used by over 50,000 people. This is an effective approach to maintain Active Hands For Life!
Neurologists call the Carpal Solution the best first line of defense for this nerve disorder. Most people call it a "Carpal Tunnel Cure".
To quote a recent CTS Sufferer with new enthusiasm for life: "The Carpal Solution is the next best thing to a CTS cure!"

It is important to visit your physician for an accurate diagnosis of CTS and to help identify contributing factors. Each case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can have many different contributing factors or carpal tunnel causes that a specialist in the field can readily help identify with blood work. However, when it comes to treatment of CTS, the current healthcare delivery system needs some new answers. There is no need to wait, while you set up a doctors appointment to help confirm the diagnosis, you can get started with the all natural and safe Carpal Solution Therapy, because there are no complications or side effects.
"I have suffered from increasing symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for over ten years —brought on by years of typing and hand work, this painful condition has made it difficult for me to do my job and has prevented me from doing crafts I enjoy, such as calligraphy and cross-stitching. It is also a drag to wake up regularly with numb hands.
During this time I have tried several options to lessen my symptoms; including wearing the elastic wrist protectors with the metal brace you can buy in the drug store. These were frustrating to wear at night because they made my hands sweat, so I would often wake up in the middle of the night and take them off. They were also impractical to wear during the day. The brace just got in my way. I have also tried various exercises to alleviate some of my hand and wrist pain. But I didn't notice much relief from stretching and exercising.
As a result I was very interested when a friend told me about the Carpal Solution. When I first saw the product, I was very skeptical that something so soft and pliable would do anything to help my persistent Carpal Tunnel symptoms. But from the first night I wore the Solution I was amazed to find that I didn't wake up at all with numb hands.
I have worn the Solution comfortably since then and my symptoms have lessened dramatically. I sleep well and am able to work without the nagging pain. I also am back doing the crafts I love. I highly recommend this product for those who suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The Carpal Solution is the only product I've found that works and surgery is just not an option.
Thanks Dr. Morgan!"

Chris Lake
Globally recognised as one of the most exciting, forward thinking and cutting edge producers on the scene, Chris Lake's rare ability to create tracks that fuse elements of house, electro and techno has not been lost on his fellow peers. His innovative productions continue to receive wave after wave of support from such luminaries that include Sasha, Danny Howells, Justin Robertson, Sander Kleinenberg and Carl Cox, whilst Pete Tong leads the way in championing the unique sound that has established Chris as one of the world's elite.
An avid producer since 2001, Chris's breakthrough came in 2005. His tracks 'One Too Many' and 'Release' caught the attention of the world's press and A&R bosses, but it was the release of his smash hit 'Changes' that catapulted his name into the record boxes of DJs across the planet.
'Changes' became Radio 1's 'Essential New Tune' twice, reaching number 27 in the national charts and picking up column inches in tabloid papers and magazines; turning the once underground buzzer into a worldwide hit. Chris's DJ schedule duly sky rocketed and over the past 2 years, he has travelled to all four corners of the globe taking in Asia, South America, USA, Australia and Africa. He has graced some of the biggest clubs on the planet that include Ministry Of Sound, Space, Warung, Spybar and Amnesia together with countless festivals – Global Gathering, Creamfields and the Extrema festival in Holland.
In 2006, Chris set up Rising Music as an outlet for his new productions. Rising swiftly became the benchmark for pure underground house – releases that included 'One Too Many', 'Fantasy' and 'Release' have set the standard, whilst Chris has also shown that his A&R head is amongst the best in the business by signing artists that include Sebastien Leger, Micky Slim and Deadmau5.
Chris's success continued in 2007 with his track 'Carry Me Away' hitting the coveted number one spot on the USA Billboard Dance Chart, thus etching his name into the dance history books and propelling his US profile into the stratosphere.
Further collaborations in 2007 with Deadmau5 on 'I thought inside out' and Sebastien Leger 'Word/Ghost' once again proved Chris's versatility in the studio, and with both productions hitting the Beatport Top spot, Chris continued to cement his status as one of the world's finest producers.
And of course there is the small matter of Chris remixing some of the biggest names in the music scene. Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Mark Ronson, Lily Allen, Deadmau5 and the Rogue Traders are amongst some of the names to have received sublime workouts from Chris, and support has been immense; not only from Radio 1, but every major radio station around the world.
Radio 1 has also allowed Chris to show his unrivalled ability in the art of DJ'ing. His Essential Mix in August 2007 was yet another defining step in his career as he unveiled two hours of sublime techno, electro and tech house to keep a worldwide audience of millions captivated. His mix was voted as one of the best since the inception of the Essential Mix series, and reminded everyone why Chris is at the top of his trade.
2008 has seen Chris's profile grow even bigger with his global DJ tours, top quality releases, and an eye for the new media world via his new Podcast series – the latter of which has made i-Tunes' 'new and notable' for the last three months. Meanwhile his stunning track 'Only One' taken from his One E.P has held its place in Beatport's Top 5 for more than two weeks, and is currently climbing the US and Australian dance charts faster than ever.
His latest track doing the rounds is 'If you knew', a track Pete Tong reckons is "sounding like a cross between 'Changes' and the song 'Pjanoo' never had – conventional but huge… and we haven't had a song like this for a while."
Chris shows no signs of slowing down, and with demand for his sound even higher than ever, you can be sure to see his name up in lights for many years to come.

About the Work
During Schumann's residence in Dresden as the city's director of music, from 1844 to 1850, he was perforce in frequent contact with the local musicians. Richard Wagner, filled with revolutionary political and musical ideas, was then conductor at the Royal Opera House, which boasted one of the finest orchestras on the Continent. A chief adornment of that ensemble was a player named Lewy, a virtuoso who headed the orchestra's horn section and who was also one of the earliest exponents of the recently developed valved instrument, the so-called "ventilhorn," which allowed the production of the complete chromatic scale. Schumann was so impressed with the possibilities of the improved horn, and with the expressive avenues for it that Wagner had opened in his operas (Rienzi, The Flying Dutchman and Tannhäuser had all been staged by 1845), that he undertook both a grand, concerted piece for not just a single horn but for an entire quartet of the instruments, as well as a two-movement chamber piece for horn and piano. The Konzertstück for Four Horns and the Adagio and Allegro that he devised were both showpieces for the valved horn, and were hard enough to be proclaimed by some as virtually unplayable — Schumann's biographer Robert Schauffler decided that in the Konzertstück "the difficulties are so horrendous that it needs almost the trump of an archangel to cope with them."
The Adagio and Allegro dates from 1849, when Schumann was in good health and spirits, and producing music with greater ease and speed than at almost any other time in his life — some thirty works date from what he referred to as "my most fruitful year." It is a work of optimism and good cheer whose two contrasting movements (Schumann originally considered titling the piece "Romance and Allegro") achieve a particularly satisfying formal balance. When the score was published in 1849, Schumann allowed that the solo part could also be performed on violin, viola or cello.

Deciding on a domain name is one of the things that can either help or even hinder your Internet business. Because there are a lot of individuals who are brand new to the web, an example of a domain name is yahoo.com which of course will bring you to Yahoo's website. If you are starting an online business and you need a website picking the domain that will match the niche you are entering is crucial. Picking a really good domain name really can mean the particular difference between success and failure.
In relation to selecting a domain you will also want to make sure you are selecting the right extension. While you can find a lot of different extensions for your domain name you will notice that the .net as well as the .com are the most preferred. The very first thing you really should check out is the .com extension for your site and there are a few of good reasons for this, one of them being that it looks more professional. More than likely you recognize that .com is what most individuals automatically key in when they enter any domain name in their Internet browser. The reason why .com is so important is simply because it is something that men and women type in automatically, for example if you have the website with the domain name of onlinebusiness.net most likely men and women will just end up going to onlinebusiness.com and this suggests that you lose potential clients. This means that one of the most essential things when choosing a domain name is making certain you get a .com.
Right now the next thing you have to do is to give a lot of thought to the domain name itself. Let's just say you are selling widgets, you will not want a domain such as findthecheapestwidgetsonline.com, this is something that no one is going to want to type into their web browser. But you will find something like lowcostwidgets.com is a domain name that can present you with traffic. A shorter domain name just like this is something that most individuals will have no trouble remembering. You should keep your domain name as simple as achievable.
One more thing that is vital to bear in mind is that you want your domain name to focus on your niche. So if you're within the widget niche try to ensure you have got the word widget inside the domain name. Another thing you should furthermore do is to ensure that you do a little keyword research and see if there are people doing searches for a phrase like "cheap widgets". As soon as you do your research, and if it turns out that there are in fact many men and women searching for that term you should then check to see if the domain "cheapwidgets.com" is a domain name which is available. This will end up helping you to get ranking for that keyword phrase, so when men and women are searching for that they will have a better possibility of finding your site.
Some folks know that they must try to get a keyword specific domain name, nevertheless they will still end up picking a different domain name simply because it may sound cooler. If you think about it for a minute, for anyone who is marketing and promoting widgets, a domain name like redrockcanyon.com is not going to be a very good domain name. Because of this it is essential that you match your domain name to your niche.
These are just some of the reasons why selecting the best domain name can end up helping your online business. And if you find yourself picking a bad domain name for your specialized niche you may find it more difficult to get the targeted visitors from the search engines.

|A case of familial lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency on hemodialysis for over 20 years.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22105454 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|We trace the 34-year history of a member of the first Japanese family in which lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency was diagnosed. Marriage between cousins with low LCAT activity was responsible for familial LCAT deficiency (FLD). In 1976, a 27-year-old Japanese man was noted to have FLD based on proteinuria, hematuria, grayish corneal opacity and low LCAT activity (9.83%). Genetic analysis showed insertion of G-G-C coding glycine at codon 141. Total cholesterol (C) was low at 108 mg/dl and the ratio of C-ester to total C was very low (12%), while the lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) level was very high (97.3%). When his serum creatinine reached 2.6 mg/dl at the age of 41 years (in 1991), renal biopsy was performed. This showed expansion of the mesangial matrix and irregularly thickened capillary walls with a bubble-like appearance because of lipid deposits consisting of two components (partly lucent vacuolated areas and partly deeply osmiophilic areas). Magnification of the latter deposits showed curvilinear and serpiginous striated membranous structure. Hemodialysis was started in 1990 and has been continued for over 20 years until August 2010. Clinical problems have included AV shunt failure requiring 4 operations and 13 percutaneous transcatheter angioplasty procedures, as well as episodes of hemolytic anemia that subsided after infusion of fresh frozen plasma. Cardiovascular events have not yet occurred, although severe calcification of abdominal aorta has been detected by computed tomography.

There are a number of firms that aren't up to speed with this whole "social media thing." But they should be, because their clients are.
American Lawyer Media, Zeughauser Group and communications firm Greentarget surveyed 164 in-house counsel about their social media habits. Lo and behold, they are making use of blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook to get their legal information… and, perhaps more interestingly, to judge law firms.
In-house counsel still primarily rely on "referrals from trusted sources and credentialing activity (i.e., demonstrations of thought leadership)" to choose outside lawyers, but they are increasingly taking brilliant tweets and blog posts into consideration…
Media Bistro sums up the survey findings:
- 43 percent of in-house counsel identified blogs as among their leading sources of news and information.
- 53 percent of in-house counsel expect their consumption of industry news and information via new media platforms will increase over the next six months to a year.
- Nearly half of counsel aged 30-39 have used Facebook for professional reasons in the past week.
- 51 percent of in-house counsel said they would receive content from their law firms via new media platforms provided the content is relevant to their businesses.
The survey also found that the social networking and new media tools in-house counsel use most frequently for biz reasons are LinkedIn, blogs and Wikipedia. (Note to law firms: a reason to keep waging those Wikipedia wars.)
So about half of in-house counsel are social media savvy. Age, of course, is a factor:
But what about law firms? What are they doing and what should they be doing to get on GCs' online radars?
Corporate Resource recently took a look at which firms are hip when it comes to online networking, and whether tweeting helps a firm's bottom line. It produced a fascinating chart showing which AmLaw 100 firms are blogging, Facebooking, and tweeting, and even more interesting, their numbers of followers (Patton Boggs and Seyfarth Shaw FTW! Both have topped 1,000 Twitter followers.) Many Biglaw firms are not down with the Internet though:
Although there doesn't appear to be a correlation between firm size (based on revenue) and Twitter use, it is clear that "white shoe" firms don't Twitter, ie conservative firms are still conservative. Of the 18 old "white shoe" firms in the AmLaw 100 (we use Wikipedia's list), none of them Twitter. Expanding the list by the further 11 "new" white shoe firms, nets us only 2 Twitterers (NB there are also no white shoe firms with more than a "holding page" presence on Facebook either). That's 7.4% against the 29% average.
Good news for tepid tweeps: The GC social media survey suggests that it's better be big on blogging than on Twitter:
In-house counsel ranked the following activities as "most important" for helping them to research outside counsel for potential hire:
1. Recommendations from sources you trust – 73 percent
2. Articles and speeches the lawyer has authored – 38 percent
3. Bios on the firm's Web site – 30 percent
4. Blogs published by lawyers on relevant topics – 27 percent
• Half of in-house counsel agree or somewhat agree that in the future, high-profile blogs authored by law firm lawyers will influence the process by which clients hire law firms.
• In contrast, only 10 percent of in-house counsel believe that a firm's prominence on Twitter will drive business development.
Social media lawyer guru Adrian Dayton notes that there are several active GC tweeps, though:
GC's like Mark Chandler of Cisco and Jeff Carr of FMC Technologies have been on Twitter and reading blogs for some time- and another much larger group will be joining the party soon according to this survey. Those firms that wait to innovate will be playing catch-up. Time to start blogging.
Just throwing up a Twitter account or blog and tweeting or posting press releases is not enough. (Please, please spare us that.) You have to create dynamic content worth following. Solo practitioners have been onto this for a while. Successful law firm blogs are rarer. Some great examples: Akin Gump's SCOTUSblog, McDermott's Legal Crisis Strategies (though it's infrequently updated), and Robinson Bradshaw & Hinson's Genomics Law Report.
It's not like Field of Dreams — "If you build it, they will come"; when it comes to social media, you have to build something interesting.
