Village Voice Pazz & Jop 2010 Lists Announced
Each January, the Village Voice (our sister paper) releases its Pazz & Jop critics' Best Of designations for the previous year. For 2010, Kanye West quite unsurprisingly dominates both categories. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy tops the album list (like most Best of 2010 albums lists) with 3250 on the Voice's points system, doubling the score of the second-place release, LCD Soundsystem's This Is Happening. The top 10 is rounded out by Arcade Fire, Janelle Monae, Vampire Weekend, Big Boi, Beach House, the National, Sleigh Bells and Black Keys.

Across the City, A Strong Market
Published: April 8, 2001
(Page 4 of 4)
And in the Mid-County area -- a band across the middle of the borough that includes, among other communities, Borough Park, Flatbush and East New York -- the average in 2000 was $238,388, up 10 percent from the 1999 average of $216,776.
The pattern of price appreciation was also evident in the Case Shiller Weiss survey. The survey is based on an index showing the average price for all single-family homes sold, ZIP code by ZIP code in areas for which it has sufficient information, year by year. To determine price fluctuations in 2000, the survey took the purchase price of each home sold in each ZIP code area during the year, compared it with the price the house brought the last time it sold, and then, using the annual index, adjusted the earlier price to what it probably would have been had it sold in 1999. The 2000 prices for homes within each area were then compared with the estimated 1999 prices to compute the change.
Of the 36 ZIP codes in Brooklyn, 2 saw prices rise by 4 to 8 percent last year, 8 by 8 to 12 percent, and 26 by 12 percent or more.
Mr. Longo, who is also president of the Madison Estates brokerage firm in Marine Park, said Brooklyn ''experienced a bit of flatlining during December and part of January, but that dramatically changed when we saw the drop in mortgage rates'' -- after two half-point cuts in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve in January, and not counting another half-point cut 17 days ago. Sales-volume data for the three Brooklyn listing services does show a 7.4 percent slippage, from 8,813 transactions in 1999 to 8,162 last year.
Mr. Longo didn't seem concerned. ''In Marine Park,'' he said, ''we have what we call realty homes; they carry the name of the development or the developer from 60-plus years ago.'' They are, generally, semidetached, two- or three-bedroom, 14-foot-wide, 34-foot-long houses on 20-by-100 lots.
''Over the years, people have completely updated them,'' Mr. Longo said. ''We find them going in the neighborhood of $230,000, $240,000. It's amazing because these same homes only three years ago were going for $150,000 to $170,000.''
Buyers Shrug Off Stock Gyrations
Of the 57 ZIP code areas in Queens, according to the Case Shiller survey, 12 saw prices appreciate by up to 4 percent last year, 18 by 4 to 8 percent, 23 by 8 to 12 percent and 4 by 12 percent or more.
''We still have low inventory, so prices haven't softened,'' said Barbara Frechter, president of Glenjay Realty in Forest Hills and a former president of the Long Island Board of Realtors, which includes Queens.
''The stock market thing does not affect the co-op people here, or the people buying a house at $300,000 to $350,000, the way it does the heavy rollers in Manhattan,'' she said.
The median price for all of Queens in 2000 was $200,000, up 5.2 percent from $190,000 in 1999, Ms. Frechter said. But in her community, Forest Hills, the 2000 median was up 24.5 percent, from $296,000 to $368,500.
''There are houses in Forest Hills Gardens that are a million and better,'' she said. ''But for a one-bedroom co-op on Queens Boulevard, I'd say anywhere from $75,000 to $125,000. And, of course, we have luxury condos -- $300,000 for a two-bedroom.''
The median price in Astoria, with its mix of single- and multifamily homes, rose 9.9 percent last year, from $299,450 to $329,000. And in Jamaica -- ''where there are lots of one-family detached frame and attached brick homes,'' Ms. Frechter said -- the median rose 8.7 percent, from $149,999 to $163,000.
The Bronx
Manhattan Migrants Find Prices Attractive
The Bronx Board of Realtors does not compile complete statistics. But the Case Shiller survey indicated that of the borough's 25 ZIP codes, 11 saw prices appreciate by 8 to 12 percent and 14 by 12 percent or more.
And one broker, Haniff Baksh of ERA Besmatch, conducted his own survey, based on city records. During the first 11 months of 2000, there were 2,204 one- to four-family homes sold in the Bronx, and 2,487 in all of 1999. ''So, pro-rated, there were 2,280 sales during the first 11 months of 1999,'' Mr. Baksh said, ''virtually unchanged.''
The average price for single-family homes in the borough was $236,000 last year, up 4.9 percent from $225,000. And for two-family homes, there was a 12.6 percent jump, from $198,000 to $223,000.
Using his own company's sales, sprinkled about the borough, Mr. Baksh waxed more site-specific. In the northeast Bronx, the average was $175,000 in 1999, and $192,000 in 2000, a 9.7 percent rise. And in more western environs, including Riverdale, the average for single-family homes jumped 19.6 percent, from $321,000 to $384,000.
Susan Goldy, president of the Riverdale brokerage firm that bears her name, said, ''We're still getting people from Manhattan who can't afford there, and know they can qualitatively buy into much more here.''
For example, Ms. Goldy said: ''There's a gracious stucco 1920 Mediterranean; archways, thick walls; four bedrooms, balconies, listed at $1,350,000. We're not getting bids above asking, but there's a lot of interest.'' Two-bedroom co-ops in the community ''are basically running from $140,000 -- that would really be on the low side -- to maybe $335,000.''
Staten Island
Despite Concerns, A Need for Housing
On Staten Island, according to Sandy Krueger, executive vice president of the borough's Board of Realtors, the average price for existing single-family homes in 2000 was $227,396, a 12.3 percent increase over $202,422 in 1999.
In West Brighton, a community of older colonial homes on the north shore, Mr. Krueger said, the average for a single-family home increased 17.6 percent, to $172,882 from $146,929.
And in Huguenot, an almost rural area on the south shore with old gabled homes graced by wraparound porches, there was a 10.4 percent increase, from $200,998 to $222,035.
For two-family homes across the island, the 2000 average was $278,875, a 9.3 percent rise from $255,044. And co-op prices took a bounding leap -- 30.1 percent -- from $47,211 to $61,458.
Of Staten Island's 12 ZIP code areas, according to the Case Shiller survey of single-family homes, 7 saw prices increase by 8 to 12 percent and 5 jumped by at least 12 percent.
Sophia Gibaldi, president of Abiding Real Estate in Dongan Hills and the new president of the Staten Island Board of Realtors, seemed well tuned to the tenor of, not just her island's, but the entire city's real estate market. ''People are concerned,'' she said, ''but there's still that need for housing.''

Oft-outspoken festival promoter AJ Maddah tweeted last night that the line-up for his Soundwave 2013 festival, announced this morning, would sell out in an hour.
Some boast, but it is all but certain there's something to it.
Among those announced were metal superstars Metallica, who sold out four Allphones Arena dates themselves on their last visit in 2010. It had been rumoured the Californians will be playing their 1991 self-titled album - which has sold more than half-a-million-copies in Australia alone - in full.
Also along for the ride will be Linkin Park, Anthrax, Garbage, A Perfect Circle, Paramore, Duff McKagan's Loaded, Flogging Molly, Sum 41, The Lawrence Arms, Lucero, Six Feet Under and many more. The long-awaited return of reunited pop-punk icons Blink 182 had been confirmed in recent weeks, along with a drip feed of other names including Stone Sour, Cancer Bats and the Offspring.
The festival has played host to the likes of Iron Maiden, Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson and Faith No More in recent years.
Tickets are priced at A$189 including fees and public transport and go on sale Thursday, August 23 with a presale commencing seven days prior.
Soundwave dates:
Brisbane: Saturday, February 23
Sydney: Sunday, February 24
Melbourne: Friday, March 1
Adelaide: Saturday, March 2
Perth: Monday, March 4

We have used garden grocer twice and it had been a great experience. Easy to order water,milk, fruits, and snacks to have on hand. Delivery was waiting for us when we arrived. Very satisfied and highly recommend!
It was our first time using Garden Grocer, and we are very happy with our experience! Everything we ordered arrived, and without any problems. We were informed by test when it arrived at our hotel, and it made our vacation so much better!
Very personal and responsive communication via email and phone once I placed my order. A trip to Disney is complicated enough - you guys made this part super easy. Your coordination with the Disney hotel we stayed in was also very, very good. Overall, an excellent experience. Will definitely use you again for our next Disney stay.

The Worldís Most Useless Playoff Predictor: LCS Edition
In the end, I know the Angels won't beat themselves, I wouldn't be surprised if the Yanks do.With the Red Sox and Yanks eliminated, I'm not sure what ESPN is going to do for the next week. I wonder if the Baseball Tonight Crew even knows anything about these two teams. Somehow they'll still throw in how great Derek Jeter is and how damn clutch he is. Not to mention Fox has had to shelf the 100+ pieces they edited about the rivalry, the Curse and whatever other mumbo-jumbo they were going to spew on us. They can air it all next year, when they force MLB to schedule the Yanks and Red Sox to play each other for all 162 regular season games. The Angels look in trouble as they may be down as many as 2 starting pitchers. Washburn is suffering from strep throat and Colon has back and shoulder problems. Paul Byrd will pitch Game 1, but the Game 2 starter is up in the air at the moment, the strongest possibility being a bullpen approach starting with Kevin Gregg and then diving into the Angels most excellent relievers. Throw in the crazy travel schedule and the fact that it just looks like everything seems to be breaking the White Sox way this year (that Graffanino error was just one of those things that happens to teams headed places) and it looks like the deck is stacked against the Angels. And I don't buy it. The Angels do all those "Smartball" things way better than the Pale Hose. Better defense, better baserunning, better pitching (obviously that's up in the air right now), and a far superior manager. I'm horribly biased towards the Angels and against the White Sox, plus the opportunity to see Vlad take his hacks against the Astros pitchers would be fun. I say, Angels trump the ChiSox in 5.

Yeah, I agree. Washburn has not pitched in 2 and a half weeks and coming off an infection that reqiuried hospitalization. I imagine he somewhere bewteen 85-90%. Angels might want to use a pen game knowing they have Home field. Save Washburn for Game 3 vs. Garland who is just as rusty. Have Lackey, Santana, Byrd, Lackey start games 4-7.

The Empty Confines (in
The Empty Confines (in October)
After Game 2 of the NLCS, Busch Stadium will have been host to 52 playoff games, third-most all-time, one behind Fenway Park and a four-month schedule behind Yankee Stadium. Busch was open from 1968-2005.
The Cubs have been playing in Wrigley Field (call it one thing or another) since 1916. It has hosted 24 postseason games.
So, here's the plan. As long as the NLCS is over after five games, and the Astros win, we only need 29 playoff home games, and our park can surpass that of our rivals.
At the current pace (and I'll be generous and define that as the pace since 1984), and assuming the Cubs do not relocate to another facility, we should catch up to the then-long-ruined-and-that-oldtime-used-to-go-there stadium by 2061.
Then we can get to work on Busch Stadium II (2006-2045).
The new Busch Stadium is
The new Busch Stadium is actually the third incarnation of the stadium, not the second.
As written somewhere else,
As written somewhere else, Tony LaRussa is more interested in being the smartest person in the room than in winning baseball games. Doesn't say much when you lose the managerial battle to Phil Garner.
That's ridiculous. No basis in fact at all. It's amazing how one writer calls him a genius and suddenly he's arrogant. LaRussa wants to win every game. You can argue he overmanages, but it's always intended to produce a W.
And when did he lose a managerial battle with Garner?
I suppose I should have
I suppose I should have wrote the word "seems" instead of "is" there. Would that have been better? And I didn't actually write that, just agreed with what someone else said on the topic.
As for the managerial battle, I was just saying that in my preview I think Garner is a better playoff manager than LaRussa, nothing more. And I'm not saying that Garner is good or the Astros will win just because of that.

The hot start was nice, but it won't always come easy. It's nice to see them have to work for it every once in a while.
Hey, AZ, are you as high on DJ Wilson as your pal John Arguello is?
Phil, I just wanted to say thank you for diligently tracking the Cubs prospects in extended spring training and sharing your knowledge with us. It's remarkable how you're able to keep box scores for multiple games at once. I, and I'm sure others here, appreciate the data and insight you provide for us.
Thanks PHIL.
Boy, that is a nifty K:BB ratio Hudson has going at almost 4:1!
I hope he continues improving.
And of course the Bucs won again playing AZ (not PHIL). They dont seem to have a problem yet with the bottom feeders.
They picked up 3 games this last week.
I'm looking forward to them coming to the Chi.
Don't mess with the SI jinx. Since the Javy/Cubs cover came out, he is 2-for-20 with no walks.
BRADSBEARD: If all three are assigned to Eugene, the Cubs can play Galindo, Paredes, and Paniagua at the same time by moving Paredes between SS-3B-DH, Galindo between 3B-1B-DH, and Paniagua between 1B-LF-DH.
The Cubs like to have their players (including their minor leaguers) learn to play more than one position even if they eventually are projected to settle at one spot, and I suspect that will be reflected at Eugene, with just about everybody who will be assigned there able to play at least two positions.
Thanks - at least the scorer was consistent
I don't think the error call was completely out of the blue but the ball took a very bad hop and would have taken a very good play to get it. Same with one of the Stella throws where I think it could have easily been ruled a hit. Neither were cut and dry calls though imo.
chased a high fastball...
I think his BABIP during his run has been around .950
Great stuff CubbyBlue!!! I think it inspired today's six spot as well.
That's all fine and good, but I think it's short-changing the Arrieta-like affect of his beard
Was the error scored on Zobrist's third ab ruled correctly? Ron was saying that it was a pretty tough chance for the fielder
Did anybody see that Zobrist strikeout?
That was extremely disappointing.
Strangest win of the year, and one of the sweetest. Twice I thought it was easily in the bag, then after the first 2 hitters in the 9th I thought all was lost. Big game for Grimm, Strop & Rondon. But, man, those Cards can hit for power.
Very satisfying, gut-check win today. The beers on the trip back to Chicago are going to taste fantastic.

Nightwish: The Kinslayer Meaning

The Kinslayer Lyrics
For whom the prey weeps
Bow before a war
Call it religion
Some wounds never heal
Some tears never will
Dry for the unkind
Cry for mankind
Even the dead cry
- Their only comfort
Kill your friend, I don`t...

The Kinslayer
On April 20th, 1999 two teenagers, Eric Harris & Dylan Klebold went to Columbine High School, in Colorado with handmade bombs and shotguns, with intention to kill as many of their schoolmates as possible. As they entered the school, they started shooting and throwing bombs everywhere, killing 9 boys {Lyrics: 9 blue ones}, 4 girls {Lyrics: 4 pink ones} and finally themselves {Lyrics:2 black ones}. This was carefully planned for over a year, and these guys were determined to kill also themselves afterwards. They had no real motive. They made a videotape in the morning just before the massacre where they said: "We are going to kill you all. You have been giving us shit for years. We want to say our sorry for our parents; there's nothing you could have done. This is something we must do. We're sorry; we didn't like life very much..."
The event is something I will never understand. If something as horrible as this can happen in this world, there's no sense, no truth to cling to anymore. I find there's a great deal of symbolism hidden in this happening.
The dialogue in the middle of the song quotes the actual phrases between the killers and their schoolmates during the shooting. (According to those who survived)"
anonymous May 28th, 2009 5:47am report
This may be a bit of a vague one but does anyone think it may be related to Michael Moorcock's Elric series? Kinslayer was among the many titles associated with the Melnibonean emperor throughout the Young Kingdoms. Other similarities I noted were the fact that the quote "- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..." could be an allusion to both the fact that he represents a voice of dissent in the 10,000 year history of the empire and also that his birth killed his mother, who was the only woman his father ever loved. The rest could also allude to the general amorality of Moorcock's universe and the myriad terrible things which may happen to the dead, particularly at the hand of Elric himself.

Actually it is about the Columbine Massacre as it says after the lyrics (at least I Highest Hopes best of Nightwish) 4 pink ones, 9 blue ones, 2 pink ones In memory to the redeemers 20.4.1999 and the Columbine massacre was at that date.
anonymous Feb 28th, 2008 2:18pm report
I just thing it refers to general situations such as the need of war and the need to make others suffer.Good people are being manipulated by aggressive and corrupted people. We are slaughtering each other. That's pretty much the essence of song. THE DEATH AND PITTYNESS. It is awesome...

It's about the Kinslayer War in Dragonlance.
anonymous Mar 1st, 2007 3:44pm report
I think it has more to do with people called the Redeemers killing people for supposedly religious prospects on 20 April 1999. Or at least that's what I got from it.

Thanks. But it's not Marco speaking, it's Ike Vil. Marco hadn't joined at that point.
anonymous Nov 27th, 2005 11:15am report
This song is about the Columbine High School killings. The spoken parts of Tarja and Marco denote the supposed dialogue of one of the killers and a victim.

Think about a product that is safe to use in its original form in nature – you can consume it "as-is" from its natural source with no concern for the presence of any material of concern such as allergens, PCBs, heavy metals, pesticides and cyanoglycosides. You can eat it as is, plain and simple, with no need for complex chemical manipulations, solvent extraction and the addition of flavoring. In this ideal product the Omega 3 maintains its natural properties, does not readily oxidize, changing its composition. It is consumed in its natural form, from nature to the consumer without intervention or manipulation. The effectiveness and safety of nature are maintained in the final product.
Clary Sage Seed Oil is the most stable Omega 3 on earth. It is a true gift from nature – Omega 3 source with extreme stability due to its natural chemical structure, NONE of the other Omega 3 sources hold those stability properties (fish oil, chia, flax, hemp). Due to its unique properties Clary Sage seed oil is not a regular supplement, the oil in the 100% natural vegetarian capsule is the SAME oil as was cold pressed from the Clary Sage Seeds, NO chemical manipulations, NO addition of additives or anti-oxidants.
Be the judge - We urge you to be the judge for yourself, open the Clary Sage Seed oil product, and take one capsule in your hand, smell it, taste it, if you're brave enough punch a hole in it and drink the oil, you will taste a tasty vegetarian oil with a nutty aroma. 100% natural form of Omega 3 in your body with nor chemicals or preservatives. NOW – do the same test with your old Omega 3 supplement , what do you think?
"It doesn't make sense that I haven't heard of Clary Sage Seed Oil up until today!"?
This is a recurring phrase that we hear from our satisfied customers after they discover and use the product for the first time on a continuous basis.
How do we try to define what is so special about Clary Sage Seed Oil – to understand what causes it to be the source of Omega 3 with the largest growth rate both in Israel and the United States, and why world-renowned doctors come to us on their own initiatives in order to understand the properties of Clary Sage Seed Oil? It is hard to define in one sentence the clear advantages of Clary Sage Seed Oil, but it is a mere fact that all those who have discovered and have used the Clary Sage high-quality source omega-3, have simply one thing to say: The product works! It works for me, it works for my children, it works for my family, it has helped me resolved health related issues which similar products have not been able to resolve and I use it because it helps me!
What is so special about Clary Sage Seed Oil?
Clary Sage Seed Oil is the perfect Omega 3 fatty acids source required daily because of its exceptional combination of rare compounds, as well as the very rich source of Omega-3 contained in its essential oil. It offers a rare and unique solution, one of a kind, which holds numerous virtues long, recognized and there is no other natural source of Omega-3 in nature that presents a rare and exceptional combination of compounds with such benefits for your health and wellbeing.
Clary Sage Seed Oil is the only available source of Omega-3 that maintains its effectiveness and healthy attributes up to and above two years (this you can verify by yourself! Just taste and smell the product, your senses don't lie to you)
The unbelievable story of clary sage seed oil discovery
The incredible story of the Clary Sage Seed Oil plant, a world novelty, is an Israeli discovered premium source of Omega-3.
Clary Sage oil seeds were at first discovered by a group of expert researchers in plant genetics from the Israel Volcano Institute; which serves as the Research and Development arm for the Ministry of Agriculture of the State of Israel. In 1990, they set out on to undertake an ambitious task - to find a new source of ideal Omega-3. As part of the research work that stretched out over the better part of a decade, they scanned the gene pool of thousands of plants from the Mediterranean region and found that some of the strain of Clary Sage Seed Oil - had a very high concentration of Omega-3 in additional to a variety of other safe elements. Since the discovery, the researchers conducted hundreds of laboratory tests to examine the safety and stability of the product. After analyzing all results, the researchers found, to their surprise that Clary Sage Seed Oil incorporates a rare variety of sophisticated nutrients that make it not only a highly efficient source but also the most stable of Omega-3 as is scientifically known to us today. This shocking discovery prompted them to continue to research Sage oil in depth. Read More
The production of Clary Sage Seed Oil
The seeds are planted, farmed and harvested based on the growing protocols perfected over the years by the Company and under the supervision of agricultural experts from the Israeli ARO (Israel Ministry of Agriculture Agro-science Research Organization).
Once harvested, the seeds are stored in a cooled seed warehouse at a temperature of 16Co to maintain their shelf life Once harvested, the seeds are stored in a cooled seed warehouse at a temperature of 16Co to maintain their shelf life.
The oil is extracted by a cold press extraction process without using any preservatives or chemical additives. The oil extraction production process fully complies with and adheres to ISO 9000/22000 and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) standards.
After extraction the oil is analyzed in leading laboratories for fatty acids composition, oil stability markers and any pesticide and herbicide residual. Each batch of oil has its own COA (Certificate of Analysis) which is based in these tests. The oil is packed in 200 liter oil drums modified especially for food usage and FDA approved.
The final product (oil capsules) is manufactured in Switzerland according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Process) standards to ensure the highest quality control... Read More

I have love the Jacquie Lawson Advent Calendars for the last few years and have sent many to friends. This year I find it will not work correctly, hangs up, does not perform interactive tasks. I have tried contacting the "Help Desk" which, as others have said, is NO HELP. Perhaps they've grown too quickly or gotten complacent but I doubt I will be ordering another calendar. The money spent for this year is gone.

F22 BMW 2 Series Spy Shots
In doing so, we can't help but notice the lack of info on the new Bimmer. Fortunately, only just recently did we get some specs leaked thanks to the South African BMW website, and the goodies are rolling in. We now have new spy shots of the F22 BMW 2 Series.
With a lot of time passing between the first glimpse of the model and these recent spy shots, a lot could have changed, but from we can gather, not much did. The F22 BMW 2 Series was caught wearing some camouflage, although not much of it. The new model is expected to arrive sometime late this year or early 2014.

The Albemarle Supervisors have taken another look at a very expensive problem. They spent Wednesday debating ways to create more courtroom space, and whether the county should keep its courts downtown. Liz Palmer (pictured) told her fellow supervisors many lawyers and judges have already voiced their sentiment for keeping the courts where they are. She does not want their preference for the status quo to give county residents the idea that a decision has already been made. The supervisors are also trying to solve a parking shortage near its court buildings.

Venezuelan leaders' unite as Chavez struggles
| updated at xx
The Venezuelan government has claimed that the international media are trying to destabilise the country as its president Hugo Chavez struggles to recover from cancer surgery.
The two principal figures left running the country stood shoulder to shoulder on a tour of a coffee plant, but the vice president had to deny reports of a rift with the head of the national assembly.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro said: "President Chavez is conscious of all the circumstances he's living through, which are complex. He's conscious of the battle he is fighting and as always he has a fighting spirit, with the strength he always has, with the energy he always has, with confidence and security. And that's what he has told us to tell our people."
Venezuela's opposition, and even the United States, have expressed concern about the lack of information about the president's health.
The Information Minister, Ernesto Villegas countered: "The Venezuelan government warns its people about the psychological war that the international media have unleashed over the Head of State's health with the intention of destabilising the Republic of Venezuela."
Once highly visible, Chavez has not been seen in public for three weeks. The scarcity of information has prompted unsubstantiated rumours of his death.
The official line is that Chavez has developed a severe lung infection after his fourth operation for cancer in Cuba. The 58-year-old socialist leader is supposed to be sworn-in next week after his re-election in October.

Tadpole: Beautiful, sophisticated women are all over Oscar Grubman. He is sensitive and compassionate, speaks French fluently, is passionate about Voltaire, and thinks the feature that tells the most about a woman is her hands. On the train home from Chauncey Academy for the Thanksgiving weekend, Oscar confides in his best friend that he has plans for this vacation--he will win the heart of his true love. But there is one major problem--Oscar's true love is his stepmother Eve. Oscar is certain that he could be a better mate to Eve than his work-obsessed father. He fails to win Eve's heart and is consequently dejected. Oscar's path to his true love is further crossed by Diane, Eve's best friend who, one night while wearing Eve's borrowed perfumed scarf, offers him temporary comfort in an unconventional tryst. For Diane, Oscar fills a void in her life. For Oscar, Diane is somewhat of a distraction, as his continued pursuit of Eve leads to an unexpected resolution.

This place is absolutely gorgeous. I had some reservations about staying here because of the lack of reviews but I'm so glad I did. Rooms and common areas are very charming. Staff didn't speak much English but they were super sweet and friendly so communication wasn't too much of a problem. Booked room with shared bathroom but got one with ensuite for no extra cost. There was a great little book in the room with heaps of tips about Salvador. Felt very safe. Highly recommended!

In April 2016 we booked the Amalfi Coast Tour Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. Our driver was Rosario. He met us at Star Hotel near Napoli Centrale train station in a nice Mercedes. Rosario was an excellent host/driver and spoke very good English. You also have the option to hire a guide to accompany you, but we chose not to do that because we wanted to be more on our own. Rosario was able to provide information and point out sights to us as we drove. He's been doing this for around 20 years so he is very knowledgeable.
You get a great view of Mount Vesuvius in the distance as you drive to Sorrento and on the way back to Naples.
Half way thru the trip, in between Positano and Amalfi, Rosario brought us to a wonderful restaurant called Calajanara with a picturesque setting overlooking the coast. It's just like you would imagine dining on the Mediterranean should be like. The food and service were fabulous. Note that the meal is not included in the price and it's not a cheap place 82 Euros for our lunch which included 2 glasses of wine, salads and entrees, and of course Lemoncello. We felt it was totally worth the cost. The owner was very nice and greeted us while we had our meal. Make sure you have the Lemoncello after your meal. They also had a shop that had a nice selection of gifts.
Positano shops had a nice selection of the ceramics and linens as well. Amalfi and Ravello are much smaller villages and don't have as many shops, but I did find a nice small water color print of the Amalfi coast to take home and frame.
The drive on the Amalfi coast was very beautiful with lots of twists and turns and very close passing of oncoming vehicles. I can't imagine doing that on a bus! But if you're in a tight budget, you may need to go that route.
However, this trip is definitely worth the splurge of the private driver and Rosario was fantastic. I highly recommend this trip.
It was beatiful day trip. Thanks a lot our driver MANUEL, who isnt only driver, but the greatest giude and singer !!!! Well never forget him !!!! Thank you so much MANUEL and your company too. Zdenka
Everything was on time, driver and guide extremely friendly and helpful. The trip was a complete joy for my wife and I. The car was immaculate and up to date. We could not have asked for anything more.
We LOVED this tour, our drive was sensational he took us to these cities, plus amazing places to take pictures, he knows all the good spots. we had an good lunch too, not amazing just good, in a Hotel Restaurant, although if you don't want him to take you to a very expensive place, tell him before how much you want to spend, in order for them not to take you to an expensive restaurant. I gotta admit we loved Positano and Sorrento the most, and Amalfi was after lunch so we almost didn't see anything, just like 20 min there, in the others we had more time. Though I admit Positano is so cool. Warning you have to go down some stairs, take it like 2 or 3 floors, so if you go with elderly or have problems walking or are in a wheelchair its a no go, Although the view is amazing and the beach too. By the time we got to Ravello, well, to be honest we didn't see anything. we just got up in a hill, supposedly Ravello is where this cool Classic Music Festival takes place but they don't give you time off, its mostly a spot for pictures and then you leave again to Naples. Our Driver barely spoke enligh but we spoke a little italian so it was ok. They picked us at the hotel, just that didn't confirm the pick up, so we had to called them, in the end it turned out as a tour just for the 4 of us, cool right? :D Tip the drivers guys, they desserve it! It was an amazing tour, we bought so many souvenirs. Have fun :
Our driver Diego was amazing, beginning to end. He was very patient, flexible and especially knowledgable about the entire area. The restaurant he suggested in Positano was perfect. Great view and great lunch. I recommend this tour to anyone thinking about it!!!
A great and beautiful experience! We were a group of 9 and Savio and we did the option with only a driver and no tour guide. Our driver, Savio, was great! He stopped at locations along the shore for our group to take pictures and was incredibly friendly! I was nervous about having a driver who could not speak English but Savio spoke enough English to hold a conversation and answer questions we had. I HIGHLY recommend this trip!
The private tour with a car and a driver was fantastic! The driver spoke pretty good English and was able to give us all the needed details about the places we visited. The scenery was unbelievable and we were lucky that we took this trip before the tourist season began. We had a great lunch at the local restaurant recommended by the driver. Unforgettable trip!
Rosario, true professional. On time, informative, drove my family and I safely to all the places that were promised. Never felt rushed at points of interest. Would recommend to a friend.
It was magical.... Please insist you get Mr. Rosario as your Driver. A very warm and welcoming person with brief insights on each location. Highly recommend Mr. Rosario. The final touchdown to Ravello was mesmerizing.
Beautiful drive. The only downside was a tour type lunch top
Our driver was wonderful-- friendly, informative, considerate.
We had a wonderful private tour with an awesome skilled driver who was able to speak English throughout the entire tour. Thanks so much to Antonio for taking us around the beautiful town, Napoli. He showed us four beautiful cities and gave us a couple of photo-taking and shopping time on our own. He drove us to Sorrento to observe the panorama view of the Sorrento Bay, a nice tourist spot in Positano, a small city called Amalfi, and Ravello our last destination which was absolutely beautiful. For lunch, Antonio took us to an amazing organic family restaurant for delicious seafood and fresh pasta all homemade and freshly caught every morning. Plus, a wide Mediterranean Sea view that took our breaths away. Restaurant is called Ristobar Eurocona with the friendliest service, we had a special tour to see the family's garden. We enjoyed our day trip in Napoli at the top! We totally recommend this tour to anybody.
A very long tour in which we saw a lot. A road impressive and wonderful views. A guide and driver at the same time excellent.
Gianni, our driver, was VERY GOOD and AMAZING. He is very informative and friendly. He knew exactly where to slow down and show us the breathtaking views. Where possible he will stop the car in order for us to get off and take beautiful pictures. Gianni planned the whole itinerary Sorrento - Positano - Amalfi - Ravello, all we had to do was sit back in the luxury car Benz C-Class and enjoy the day. Gianni recommended a wonderful restaurant for lunch that offered postcard worthy views without the steep prices.
This tour was fabulous. Had a tour driver by the name of Giovanni Terracciano who was wonderful. This man was so great and spoke English very well. He was very knowledgeable of the area and took us to great rest areas to take pictures of the beautiful landscapes. He took us to a wonderful restaurant in Positano by the name of Constantino which had a view that was breathtaking and the food was great. We stopped by the roadside to have Italian ices granita which was the best I have ever had. He was never in a hurry and took us to several shopping areas so that we could have time on our own to shop. We bonded with him immediately and he could not have been any nicer. When we come back to Naples I will always ask for him, he was such a gentleman and a great tour guide/driver. Could not have had a better time, we will always cherish the memory. I have been on many tours throughout different vacations and the tour guide/driver always makes it either a good experience or bad experience. This by far, was the best experience we have had. I believe that Project Napoli is the tour company that Viator uses in Naples and I highly recommend Viator and Project Napoli in choosing their drivers. They are the best and Giovanni Terracciano was the best!
Ed USA
Wonderful experience! Was just me, my disabled wife, a very knowledgeable, English-fluent and thoughtful tour guide and an equally thoughtful and professional driver. We were out, could pretty much control our own agenda, and the price was a great bargain. I'm going to look for more private tours like this.
We wanted to see as much of the Amalfi coast as possible to decide where to go back to and spend more time. Our guide showed up right on time and we started off in a very nice Mercedes van. He had an initial itinerary but we adjusted as we went along. We were able to shop, sightsee, swim, and had an amazing lunch with a great view that we would never have found on our own. The day was amazing and the only way to see the entire coast in a day.
This tour was fantastic. The Amalfi coast was definitely worth the visit. We were very pleased with our Tour guide: Arianna and the driver: Antonio. Very knowledgable and pleasant.
Fabulous trip, highly recommended. Rosario, our driver, picked us up from our hotel promptly as arranged. His english is excellent, he's a brilliant driver and a real gentleman. This is a great day out if you want to see this beautiful part of Italy in comfort, we had an air conditioned Mercedes for the day! We had plenty of opportunity to take pictures at scenic spots. The town of Sorrento afforded a lovely shopping opportunity. Rosario took us to a really beautiful restaurant for lunch, built into the side of the cliffs overlooking the sea, we dined under lemon trees on fresh seafood and cold white wine. We really enjoyed the day and the scenery was stunning. Thank you Rosario, you're a star.
Review of Sorrento, Postiano, Amalfi and Ravello Tour 13th August 2015
We were picked up from our hotel by a very smart and courteous driver who introduced himself as Gianni.
The car was smart and clean. Giannis driving skill and manner was evident from the outset as being exemplary. He made even my daughter, who is quite a nervous traveler, feel comfortable and safe on the sometimes narrow and winding cliff side roads.
Having established with us what and whereabouts on our tour we would like to eat lunch, he called to make a reservation and took us to a lovely and reasonably priced restaurant which served very good food. He had thoughtfully reserved a table with possibly the best view of the hills and sea in the place.
We were given a good length of time in each town we visited and Gianni pointed out places of interest along the way.
His English is very good and his clear love and enthusiasm for his home area was infectious. We thoroughly enjoyed his homemade CD of songs of Naples on the way back to the hotel.
We highly recommend the tour and especially if driven by Gianni.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us to a variety of stores and sights to see. Though traffic and driving in Naples and the coast was terrifying at points, the driver was very safe and cautious throughout the trip. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants a structured tour of the Amalfi Coast.
Amazing, such a beautiful coast. Our driver was great, answered our questions, recommended a great restaurant. We had great flexibility which worked for us. Highly recommended
Savio was our driver and he got us to everything we wanted to see. We had printed out some picture is sites we wanted to see.and he was able to identify them all. The hotel pickup was smooth. The van worked well for the 4 of us.
Both the tour guide and driver were excellent.
Amazing private tour of Amalfi towns! Rozario was just awesome, couldn't ask for more. Mesmerizing views and a great drive on the Amalfi coast. Would definitely recommend this tour.

The invention relates generally to x-ray tubes and, more particularly, to a high emissive coating on a target face and/or a target shaft of an x-ray tube.
X-ray systems typically include an x-ray tube, a detector, and a bearing assembly to support the x-ray tube and the detector. In operation, an imaging table, on which an object is positioned, is located between the x-ray tube and the detector. The x-ray tube typically emits radiation, such as x-rays, toward the object. The radiation typically passes through the object on the imaging table and impinges on the detector. As radiation passes through the object, internal structures of the object cause spatial variances in the radiation received at the detector. The detector then transmits data received, and the system translates the radiation variances into an image, which may be used to evaluate the internal structure of the object. One skilled in the art will recognize that the object may include, but is not limited to, a patient in a medical imaging procedure and an inanimate object as in, for instance, a package in a computed tomography (CT) package scanner.
X-ray tubes include an anode structure comprising a target onto which the electron beam impinges and from which x-rays are generated. An x-ray tube cathode provides a focused electron beam that is accelerated across a cathode-to-anode vacuum gap and produces x-rays upon impact with the anode target. Because of the high temperatures generated when the electron beam strikes the target, the anode assembly is typically rotated at high rotational speed for the purpose of distributing heat generated at a focal spot. The anode is typically rotated by an induction motor having a cylindrical rotor built into a cantilevered axle that supports a disc-shaped anode target and an iron stator structure with copper windings that surrounds an elongated neck of the x-ray tube. The rotor of the rotating anode assembly is driven by the stator.
Newer generation x-ray tubes have increasing demands for providing higher peak power. Higher peak power, though, results in higher peak temperatures occurring in the target assembly, particularly at the target "track," or the point of electron beam impact on the target. Thus, for increased peak power applied, there are life and reliability issues with respect to the target.
Emissive coatings may be applied to x-ray tube targets in order to enhance radiative heat transfer and reduce the operating temperature of the components therein, such as the target and the bearing assembly. However, such coatings are typically based on oxides, such as mixtures of ZrO2—TiO2—Al2O3, which tend be unstable and outgas at, for instance, 1200� C. or greater. Typically, the outgas includes carbon monoxide (CO), which results from poor chemical stability of oxide constituents (e.g., TiO2) with the reducing components of the target substrate (e.g., Mo2C phase in TZM-Mo) at its operating temperature. CO and other outgas products compromise the high-vacuum environment of the x-ray tube, making such reaction products undesirable.
Therefore, it would be desirable to have a method and apparatus to improve thermal performance and reliability of an x-ray tube target and bearing while reducing outgas emissions.
The invention provides an apparatus for improving thermal performance of an x-ray tube target that overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
According to one aspect of the invention, a target assembly for generating x-rays includes a target substrate, and an emissive coating applied to a portion of the target substrate, the emissive coating comprising one or more of a carbide and a carbonitride.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a method of fabricating an x-ray tube target assembly includes forming a target substrate that includes Mo and alloys there of, and forming an emissive coating on the substrate, wherein the emissive coating includes one or more of a carbide and a carbonitride.
Yet another aspect of the invention includes an imaging system having an x-ray detector and an x-ray emission source. The x-ray source includes a cathode and an anode. The anode includes a target base material, and an emissive coating attached to the target base material having a molecular compound that includes one or more of a carbide and a carbonitride.
Various other features and advantages of the invention will be made apparent from the following detailed description and the drawings.
The drawings illustrate one preferred embodiment presently contemplated for carrying out the invention.
In the drawings:
As shown in
A processor 20 receives the analog electrical signals from the detector 18 and generates an image corresponding to the object 16 being scanned. A computer 22 communicates with processor 20 to enable an operator, using operator console 24, to control the scanning parameters and to view the generated image. That is, operator console 24 includes some form of operator interface, such as a keyboard, mouse, voice activated controller, or any other suitable input apparatus that allows an operator to control the x-ray system 10 and view the reconstructed image or other data from computer 22 on a display unit 26. Additionally, console 24 allows an operator to store the generated image in a storage device 28 which may include hard drives, floppy discs, compact discs, etc. The operator may also use console 24 to provide commands and instructions to computer 22 for controlling a source controller 30 that provides power and timing signals to x-ray source 12.
Moreover, the invention will be described with respect to use in an x-ray tube. However, one skilled in the art will further appreciate that the invention is equally applicable for other systems that include a target used for the production of x-rays.
The bearing cartridge 58 includes a front bearing assembly 63 and a rear bearing assembly 65. The bearing cartridge 58 further includes a center shaft 66 attached to the rotor 62 at a first end 68 of center shaft 66 and a bearing hub 77 attached at a second end 70 of center shaft 66. The front bearing assembly 63 includes a front inner race 72, a front outer race 80, and a plurality of front balls 76 that rollingly engage the front races 72, 80. The rear bearing assembly 65 includes a rear inner race 74, a rear outer race 82, and a plurality of rear balls 78 that rollingly engage the rear races 74, 82. Bearing cartridge 58 includes a stem 83 which is supported by the x-ray tube 12. A stator (not shown) is positioned radially external to and drives the rotor 62, which rotationally drives target assembly 56. In one embodiment, a receptor 73 is positioned to surround the stem 83 and is attached to the x-ray tube 12 at a back plate 75. The receptor 73 extends into a gap 79 formed between the target shaft 59 and the bearing hub 77.
The target track material 86 typically includes tungsten or an alloy of tungsten, and the target substrate 57 typically includes molybdenum or an alloy of molybdenum. A heat storage medium 90, such as graphite, may be used to sink and/or dissipate heat built-up near the focal point 61. One skilled in the art will recognize that the target track material 86 and the target substrate 57 may comprise the same material, which is known in the art as an all metal target.
In operation, as electrons impact focal point 61 and produce x-rays, heat generated therein causes the target substrate 57 to increase in temperature, thus causing the heat to transfer predominantly via radiative heat transfer to surrounding components such as, and primarily, frame 50. Heat generated in target substrate 57 also transfers conductively through target shaft 59 and bearing hub 77 to bearing cartridge 58 as well, leading to an increase in temperature of bearing cartridge 58.
Without an emissive coating or other surface modification, target substrate 57 may have an emissivity of, for instance, 0.18. As such, radiative heat transfer from the target assembly 56 may be limited, thus contributing to an increased operating temperature of the bearing cartridge 58 and other components of the target assembly 56. Thus, to reduce conductive heat transfer into bearing cartridge 58 and to increase the amount of radiative heat transfer to the surrounding components, an emissive coating 92 may be applied to an outer surface 93 of target shaft 59. An emissive coating 97, furthermore, may be applied to surface 99 of the target substrate 57 and an emissive coating 94 may also be applied to an outer circumference 95 of the target substrate 57. Furthermore, an emissive coating 89 may be applied to the surface 91 of the target substrate 57.
Furthermore, emissive coatings may be applied to other surfaces that are encompassed within frame 50 and typically radiatively exchange heat with the target assembly 56. For instance, emissive coating 85 may be applied to frame 50 at outer circumference surface 84 or an emissive coating 81 may be applied on axial surface 88. Additionally, an emissive coating 98 may be applied to surface 69 of rotor 62, or an emissive coating 67 may be applied to receptor 73 at surface 96. And, although the emissive coatings 67, 81, 84, 85, and 98, are illustrated over only a small portion of their respective surfaces, one skilled in the art will recognize that the emissive coatings 67, 81, 84, 85, and 98, like emissive coatings 89, 94, and 97, may be applied over the entire respective surfaces to which they are applied.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the emissive coatings 67, 81, 85, 89, 92, 94, 97, 98 are based on refractory carbides, carbonitrides, and borides of Groups 4, 5, and 6 elements (in modern IUPAC nomenclature) in the periodic table (e.g., TiC, ZrC, HfC, TaC, Mo2C, ZrB2, HfB2, TiCxNy, ZrCxNy, and HfCxNy). In the case of a carbide, the emissive coatings 67, 81, 85, 89, 92, 94, 97, 98 may further include Mo. In another embodiment, the emissive coatings 67, 81, 85, 89, 92, 94, 97, 98 include boron carbide (B4C). In still another embodiment, the emissive coatings 67, 81, 85, 89, 92, 94, 97, 98 are a combination of refractory carbides, carbonitrides, and borides with a stable oxide, including but not limited to Al2O3, La2O3, Y2O3, ZrO2, and HfO2. The emissive coatings 67, 81, 85, 89, 92, 94, 97, 98 may be applied by, for instance, processes that include chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), thermal/plasma spray, cold spray, reactive brazing, brazing, and cladding.
The emissive coatings 67, 81, 85, 89, 92, 94, 97, 98 may be single phase structures or multiphase structures. To enhance robustness of the coatings, such coatings may include multilayered, graded, and/or composite microstructures. Furthermore, in the case of a composite coating, the constituents may be non-oxides having high emissivity or a composite that includes at least one thermally emissive non-oxide (e.g., ZrC or TiC) in an oxide matrix (e.g. Al2O3, La2O3, Y2O3, ZrO2 and HfO2), which is stable with Mo alloys at high temperatures. Due to its favorable dielectric properties, such an oxide increases the effective emissive surface area, thus increasing radiative heat transfer therefrom.
In order to enhance long-term stability, thin diffusion barrier may be applied between the emissive coatings and their respective surfaces on which they are applied. Thus, the emissive coatings 67, 81, 85, 89, 92, 94, 97, 98 may include a diffusion barrier layer positioned between the emissive coatings 67, 81, 85, 89, 92, 94, 97, 98 and their respective surfaces 96, 88, 84, 91, 93, 95, 99, 69. According to embodiments of the invention, the diffusion barrier layer may include nitrides and carbonitrides of Ti, Zr, and Hf, and preferred candidates include TiN, ZrN, HfN, TiCN, ZrCN, and HfCN.
Thus, according to embodiments of the invention described herein, with an increased emissivity on surfaces 96, 88, 84, 91, 93, 95, 99, 69, an increase in heat transferred out of target shaft 59 and out of target substrate 57 via radiation will thus reduce heat transferred out of target shaft 59 via conduction. As a consequence, the operating temperature of the target assembly 56 (to include the target shaft 59, the bearing hub 77, and the bearing cartridge 58) may be reduced.
According to one embodiment of the invention, a target assembly for generating x-rays includes a target substrate, and an emissive coating applied to a portion of the target substrate, the emissive coating comprising one or more of a carbide and a carbonitride.
In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, a method of fabricating an x-ray tube target assembly includes forming a target substrate that includes Mo and alloys there of, and forming an emissive coating on the substrate, wherein the emissive coating includes one or more of a carbide and a carbonitride.
Yet another embodiment of the invention includes an imaging system having an x-ray detector and an x-ray emission source. The x-ray source includes a cathode and an anode. The anode includes an emissive coating attached to the target base material having a molecular compound that includes one or more of a carbide and a carbonitride.
The invention has been described in terms of the preferred embodiment, and it is recognized that equivalents, alternatives, and modifications, aside from those expressly stated, are possible and within the scope of the appending claims.
