Carla is a teen librarian at the Novato Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
When you do a lot of reading it can be hard to come up with a top 5 list. That being said here are mine for 2012:
Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor, is a satisfying sequel to The Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I don't usually go for that forbidden paranormal romance kind of stuff but this book is sooooooo good. The only thing that is bad is that I have to wait another year for the final installment.
Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater, I wasn't sure if I would like this but this book kicks A- double snakes! A good read for girls and boys alike. Ghosts, quests, and a few who will do anything for a little power, like kill a friend say…
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, if you don't know about this book then you haven't been paying attention! Go to the library right now and check it out!!
The Diviners by Libba Bray, I love Libba Bray, she should be my friend. This book will likely appeal to older teens, it is part historical fiction (set in the roaring 20's) part horror/thriller emphasis on the horror part.
Quarantine: The Losers, Lex Thomas writes (it's actually 2 guys) an awesomely dark novel where kids get locked down in a high school and the military drops palettes of food to them. As you can imagine cliques form and chaos ensues, definitely for older teens.
Some other standouts for me were:
The Other Normals thank you Ned Vizzini for writing a humorous book, we don't have enough of these. A perfect transition from Precy Jackson and the Olympias.
Adaptation by Malinda Lo, is book one in a science fiction trilogy, if you enjoy the conspiracy of Area 51 or that aliens are among us you will like this book.
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, who would have thought that I would so thoroughly love a book with such a gamer bent. This book makes me want to go play vintage Atari games at the Musse du Mecanique! This is found in adult but suitable for (and a huge hit with) teens.
Pure by Julianna Baggott: This is the first book in what I think will be a trilogy, a very excellent, very creepy post apocalyptic tale where those left on the outside have become fused with objects they were near or holding when the apocalyptic event took place. So, so dark, so, so entertaining. Found in the adult section but definitely suitable for older teens.
Endangered by Eliot Schrefer, this is a surprisingly good read. It is about a girl who tries to save a group of bonobos (a species of great ape found in the Congo) after a violent coup in Congo. Can be a bit harsh in parts so I wouldn't recommend to anyone under 13 (unless I knew you could take it). Schrefer has come a long way since The School for Dangerous Girls.

It's been a while since we posted a PIE Squad video, so just to refresh, the team is led by SLmag dining editor Mary Brown Malouf and is made up of representatives from SLmag, Park City Television and Epic Brewing. The Vinto pizza was paired with Epic Brewing's Brown Rice Ale.
Verdict: It's going to be tough for any pizza to beat this one. The squad comments on its perfect texture, charred crust and a slight crunch all the way through the pizza. It's also full of flavor and pairs nicely with the chosen beer.
Vinto is located at 418 E. 200 South, SLC.

There is no more clear sign of the hard economic times in the Tampa Bay area than looking into the empty seats at Tropicana Field.
Question is, will fans show up for the Tampa Bay Rays ALDS opener against the Texas Rangers today?
At a September 27 Tampa Bay Rays home game, the organization saw its fourth smallest crowd in franchise history despite the team facing its second chance to clinch a playoff berth. That triggered an emotional reaction from players David Price and Evan Longoria who referred to the attendance as "embarrassing" and "disheartening."
But former MLB pitcher turned TBS analyst Ron Darling cautioned against calling out fans during a recent conference call for the network.
"We're talking about an area where the unemployment rate is three to four percent higher than the rest of the country. I think you gotta be very careful when you're making millions of dollars, when you start questioning people and where they're spending their money. You just have to be very careful," Ron Darling said. "Everyone wants to play in front of a full house, everyone wants their fans to line the ballpark. All I know is that two seasons ago when I did the ALCS with Tampa against Boston, that area was just unbelievable."
Tampa Tribune reporter Michael Sasso pointed out that Tampa has the third worst unemployment rate (12.6) among MLB cities and said the bad economy has impacted the theme parks, concerts and shows.
But if fans are able to show up in numbers, much like they did in 2008, it could give the Rays a unique advantage says Darling and TBS analyst John Smoltz.
"When that place is, being a dome, is packed and is loud, I can only tell you being in another dome that was the loudest that was Minnesota, the sound is deafening," John Smoltz said. "You just can't even imagine a place being that loud so that's why home field advantage has its certain advantages beside the obvious of familiarity because your crowd is absolutely for you."
Added Darling, "As John said, when you're in a dome and it gets loud, literally, I've left games that I've pitched in domes where you have a headache for two or three hours after the game because of the noise."
Stay tuned.

Miami Marlins: Dan Uggla reacts to Hanley Ramirez trade
They could have become a South Florida institution, right up there with the Marks Brothers and the Heat Superfriends.
OK, maybe not quite that high, but Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramirez still formed quite a middle infield for the Marlins from 2006-2010.
That's why Uggla, now an All-Star second baseman for the Braves, still seemed a bit floored Wednesday afternoon by the trade that sent his former teammate to the Dodgers more than six hours earlier.
"I'm still kind of shocked by it," Uggla said after the Braves' 7-1 win at Marlins Park. "Not seeing Hanley in that Marlins uniform, it's crazy. It could be a good thing for both of them, though. I know Hanley hasn't had the years he wanted to have the last couple, and maybe a little change of scenery will be a good thing for him."
When the Marlins chose to give Hanley that six-year, $70 million deal four years ago, it eventually wound up costing them Uggla. He turned down a four-year, $48 million offer from the Marlins, got traded to the Braves after the 2010 season and quickly signed a five-year, $62 million deal.
"They could have made an investment in both of us," Uggla said. "Maybe it could have been good for both of us. Maybe me and Hanley needed each other. He could stay on my a–, I could stay on his a–."
True, but didn't Uggla nearly kick Hanley's rear once in the Marlins' clubhouse?
"We probably would have kicked each other's," Uggla said with a laugh. "He's a pretty big dude."
It might surprise some to know Uggla holds no resentment whatsoever toward Hanley. The two actually seem to have grown closer since Uggla was traded away.
"Awesome," was the word Uggla used to describe their relationship now.
"I love him," Uggla said. "Love him like a brother, man, through the good times and the bad times. We always stop and say hi, keep in touch. I always follow him to see how he's doing. Always hope and wish the best for him … I'm hoping LA is going to be a great place for him. I hope he enjoys it and likes it out there and gets along with the guys and starts doing what he's capable of doing."
And while Hanley has been a shell of his former self the past two years, Uggla cautioned against writing off a 28-year-old former batting champion too quickly.
"He's too talented," Uggla said. "This might be the little nudge he needed. I don't think it's fair to say anybody's ever done until they're like, 'Ah, probably not. I'm not getting back to that level I was once at.' He's young. He's still extremely talented. He's still extremely athletic. It's just a matter of getting that little nudge and going in the right direction."
For now, that direction is west.
Way west.

They have no Jack in the Box fast food chain
They have no Jack in the Box fast food chain
What about New York and their Mcdonald's on every block?
east coast is blahhhhhhhhhhhhh
everything is so ugly in winter and I hate it
in fact I really hate the east coast in general because there's jack shit to do
mcdonalds isn't that great. in terms of burgers they are outclassed by burger king, carls jr (has a different name back east), jack in the box and some say wendy's also.
for fries, burger king beats them hands down. mcdonalds might be second for fries.
for VARIETY mcdonalds kicks ass. chicken sandwiches anyone?
this is only fast food though, we all know the best burgers and fries on earth come from the "Hot Dog Palace" in concord california, right off of willow pass road by the park.
mcdonalds sucks all the way around. the only good thing they make is ice cream, and even that isn't that good
even their sodas taste wrong
this is true. it's always been a wonder why mcdonalds has the same soda's burger king does, but their soda's suck far more.
i don't eat their ice cream.
the only thing i get from mcdonalds is chicken sandwiches because i can't stomach anything else.
Canada doesn't have any of those really greasy Fast Food places that make you have liver cancer in your first bite. What's the best place though?
TACO TIME! I love that Mexican fast food.
I can't imagine mexican fast food tastes very good
I had express pizza hut once and it was gross
I can't imagine mexican fast food tastes very good
I had express pizza hut once and it was gross
you unlucky persons don't have the tastiest chicken-filled restaurant ever
Thee's a song I know:
Pizza hut,
Pizza hut,
Kentucky Fried Chicken,
and a Pizza Hut.
Pizza hut,
Pizza hut,
Kentucky Fried Chicken,
and a Pizza Hut.
Kentucky Fried Chicken,
and a Pizza Hut.
Kentucky Fried Chicken,
and a Pizza Hut.
Most annoying song ever.
kfc is awfully full of fat but I ate some only once in my life so I guess I won't die because of it haha
The only thing I like about KFC is its fries and it's chicken finger stick things.
Even MacDonalds's salad has sugar in it. Meh.
Taco Bell is on the top of my list for favorite resurants. I love Mexican food in general tho, so yeah.
The BEST pizza in the whole world is Great Plains Pizza in Iowa! It even has Taco Pizza! (My favorite there.) Their pizza is all homemade style, and isn't drowned in grease like Pizza Hut or Papa John's is.
I don't think I've ever had KFC. I try to avoid fast food as much as possible because as a general rule, fast food is disgusting.
I don't know how it is for all of you, but the pizza restaurants around here destroy fast food pizza.
We only have Luna Pizza and Bertucci's in terms of pizza in my town. They're pretty good.
The pizza places around our school are pretty horrible though. And every Friday we have pizza for dinner, except the pizza crust tastes like dough and the cheese and sauce aren't even attached to the rest of the pizza. It's pretty gross.
Waffle House is by far the best quick-to-eat dinnery.
For you up north- I apologize.
Error does not become Truth because it is widely accepted;
Truth does not become error, even when it stands alone.
Paired with: Mex - Eve
i dont eat fast food
I haven't had fast food in a while. Waffle House makes me sick (never eat the omelette), McDonalds makes me sick, Burger King is only good for its nuggets, Pizza Hut sucks, Dominos is only good for its cinnamon sticks and Wendy's.. I don't see why everyone in town flipped out when we got one. Wendy's sucks. I can't even imagine how they manage to survive other then Frosties.
But there is a place called Italian Delight with the best veggy pizza ever. =^.^=

(May 2013 update)
A new survey issued by the National Center for State Courts shows that, of the state funded court systems, the courts receive approximately two percent of the General Fund, or twice the California level. The difference equates to roughly $1 billion.
Among state funded entities, the judicial branch was requested this year to develop budgeting reforms. In response, the branch developed and implemented a historic new workload based methodology for calculating budget requirements in each court and for allocating a state appropriation to all trial courts, starting immediately with fiscal year (FY) 2013–2014. That positive reform warrants reinvestment of General Fund to stave off further curtailments in public service.
$292.8 million – Branchwide operations
$50 million – Reversal of permanent ICNA redirection
$200 million – Reversal of proposed one-time ICNA redirection to operations
$542.8 million – Total

"I'm still here," Taylor said with a laugh during an interview with The Park Record.
There are two reasons he's still in Park City. The first is his job — he's the head chef at LDS Hospital.
The other is his second job as the guitarist and singer for Park City's own Sideshow Ramblers.
Throughout the past three years, the Sideshow Ramblers have performed in various venues throughout Summit and Salt Lake counties.
The trio guitarist and vocalist Josh Taylor, bassist Dave Knose and drummer Matt Gordon — has played their blues-based jam rock at Downstairs, Cisero's, the Sidecar, Park City Mountain Resort and all the Mountain Town Music stages from Peoa, Main Street, Newpark and Coalville.
It has also played at the State Room in Salt Lake City.
This Saturday, the band will perform at the Notch Pub in Samak at 9 p.m.
The Sideshow Ramblers originated when Taylor and Gordon played in another project.
The two decided to do their own thing on the side, hence the new band's name, and recruited Knose.
"We immediately began playing any places that would take us," he said. "And it's been that way ever since.
Taylor's exposure to music began with his mother's cassette collection of the late blues guitarist Gary Moore.
"From there, I got into Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Healy," he said. "My first goal was to emulate those guys. I tried to do exactly what they were doing."
the time Taylor reached his teens, he had already developed an ear for playing.
"I played in and out of a lot of bands and tried to play with as many different people as I could," he said. "I wanted to learn as much as I could from their styles and influences by watching them play."
Even before he was joining bands, Taylor was an accomplished lyricist.
"I was influenced a lot by Bob Dylan and The Band, especially singer Levon Helm," he said. "I know Levon didn't write The Band's songs, but he was a great vocalist."
Within the past three years, Taylor has seen a paradigm shift in the Park City music scene.
"Right now it's a little challenging, because it has become somewhat stagnant for live performances," he said. "It seems a majority of the clubs up and down Main Street are leaning towards DJs.
"That's all fine, but I would like to see a little more live music on Main Street, because it is gratifying to have your friends come out and not only enjoy the music, but see people play real instruments," Taylor said.
Nearly a year and a half ago, the Sideshow Ramblers recorded a five-song, self-titled, extended-play CD, which the band sells at its shows and online at www.reverbnation.com/thesideshowramblers .
"Since I've been writing songs since I was 14, we had enough songs to throw together for the EP," Taylor said. "Right now, we're woodshedding and writing more original stuff, because we would like to get back into the studio sometime soon, hopefully spring or summer, to record a full-length CD."
The band is getting to the point where it has plenty of songs, but the band members also want to branch out and play more original, local venues, he said.
In the meantime, Taylor is happy to be in a band with two of his best friends.
"We're all buddies and hang around each other outside of music, and unlike some other bands, working around each member's schedule isn't an issue," he said. "We do a good job of staying on top of things, and all of us have our own personal calendars synced into the band's calendar and email, so we know when we're available to play or rehearse.
"It also helps we're a trio, so we don't have too many people to coordinate our times with."
The Sideshow Ramblers will play at the Notch Pub in Samak tonight, Saturday, Jan. 26, at 9 p.m.
For more information, visit www.reverbnation.com/thesideshowramblers.

From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce Springsteen opened at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia this past weekend. The Rock Hall curated the exhibit, and it was the major temporary exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum from April 2009 to February 2011.
The Springsteen exhibit was not originally intended to travel, but after representatives from the Constitution Center came to Cleveland to see it, they thought it would be a great fit for their museum. We had several discussions with them, and we worked with Springsteen's management to see whether moving it was a possibility. In the end, we all agreed that it made sense to take the exhibit to the Constitution Center. After all, Springsteen's roots go back to the Jersey Shore, an area not that far from Philadelphia. Moreover, Springsteen is a truly American musician and songwriter, someone who has given voice to the restlessness, hopes and dreams of ordinary Americans. Millions of listeners have found their experience of the American dream reflected in his songs about the lonely, the lost, the unemployed, immigrants and military veterans. The City of Brotherly Love was a fitting location for an exhibit exploring the life and career of Bruce Springsteen.
The Constitution Center celebrated the opening with three days of events. Last Wednesday featured a special press preview of the exhibit. Roughly 100 journalists turned out for a luncheon and preview tour of the exhibit. I spoke about putting the exhibit together, while Constitution Center President and CEO David Eisner talked about its relevance to his museum's mission. Frank Stefanko, the photographer who shot the cover photos for Darkness on the Edge of Town and The River, was also there to meet with the reporters.
The Constitution Center hosted Greetings from Asbury Park, an opening celebration that featured the B Street Band, a Springsteen tribute band, on Wednesday evening. More than 1,100 people turned out for the event. On Thursday, the center hosted an Educator Open House. Hundreds of teachers turned out for the event, and I did three programs in a museum auditorium, presenting a slideshow of some of the artifacts featured in the exhibit, and talking about how the Rock Hall put the exhibit together. A School of Rock band performed Springsteen songs at the open house. Finally, on Friday morning, the exhibit opened to the public. The School of Rock was once again on the scene, and we had a formal ribbon-cutting. (pictured: Springsteen's 1954 Fender Telecaster body with 1952 Fender Esquire neck. Springsteen purchased the guitar immediately after signing his contract with Columbia Records. The guitar is also featured on the cover of Born to Run.)
It is truly awesome that the exhibit is in Philadelphia, and now even more of Springsteen's fans will have a chance to see the exhibit, which includes the outfit Springsteen wore on the cover of Born in the USA, his handwritten lyrics to "Born to Run" and his 1960 Corvette. We especially want to thank the Constitution Center for all that they have done to make this possible.

very sorry

The cake had a chalky taste, it was absolutely beautiful and maybe it was just that the delivery was slow. I ordered on a late Wednesday received it on a Tuesday evening. I wanted my money back but it is a perishable item. Be mindful when you order the cake, if no weekend delivery!

Sextuor: L'origine des Espèces
February 15, 2012 · Print This Article
"In the beginning, in the beginning, there was not a beginning. The common ancestor is unknown. Between each species and the common ancestor, who is unknown, one must seek, forever seek the intermediate forms†(Georges Aperghis, L'origine des espèces).
The performance took place inside a non-descript office building in Mid-town Manhattan. Despite the newish marble-clad lobby downstairs, the designated floor rested on creaking wood floors, that had been subdivided by drywall. Within an audible distance, someone sang scales and the outside wall of the theater (just opposite the elevator) was decorated with pairs of headshots — a before and after beneath which lay professional tag lines and phone numbers offering touch-up services. We had gathered in the corridor of what felt like a rehearsal studio — a realization that only added to the curiousness of what was to come: I mean, what would an opera about Darwin look like?
When we first sat down in the theater, before the production had started, the nearby, but disembodied voice had switched from scales to Celine Dion — practicing for an upcoming audition, I supposed. She continued to push through the climax of her song until the accompanying pianist would stop unexpectedly — silence ensued (what signified a conversation to me) — and then the two started again, just before the song's crescendo. Two folding tables stood waiting on stage. Five binders waited patiently on each, along with a pair of rubber gloves, glasses and an assortment of small, plastic animals. (There was a pause in the Dion song, this one longer than the last). A series of steam-punkish bare bulbs had been clipped to the table and one of the walls was covered with pictures from an animal calendar. The invisible chanteuse finally completed the song and the room grew quiet. So too the house lights dimmed as six women came on stage in lab coats. One carried a cello. They bowed, we clapped and the cellist moved to the side. She sat apart from her peers who moved behind the folding tables and sat down side-by-side.
The cellist spoke first, in French (the language of the entire piece); she suggested both that there was no beginning and that we must look to intermediate forms to discover human nature. Drawing on both Charles Darwin's Origin of the Species and Stephen Jay Gould's Wonderful Life, Greco-French composer Georges Aperghis wrote a seventy-minute opera. With those texts as an anchor, and the ever present counter balance of the cello (the only instrument the opera calls for), we experienced a musical rendition of the history of evolution. Much of the performance is babbling — an assorted accumulation of consonants that sometimes mimic other life forms (a parrot for instance) but there are coherent narratives that emerge in the throng. Each of the five vocalists performs an aria on one of the following themes: Birth  (Soprano I : Megan Schubert), Death (Contralto: Amirtha Kidambi), Cinderella (Mezzo-soprano: Silvie Jensen), Delivery (Soprano II: Christie Finn) and "the love experience†(or eros)(Soprano III: Gelsey Bell). The Cellist, Émilie Girard-Charest embodies theory (logos), and often seems to quote Darwin and Gould directly. Probably it would seem like madness, except that the characters delivering this production are certain of themselves and focused; they never seem bewildered by evolution but instead appear to channel its course seeming at once facilitators of process and investigators. They wield the authority of science, conducting comical demonstrations in petri dishes. The last thing I was expecting was that sense of humor and it gave so much life to the whole show, eliciting a whole range of emotional experience (for me anyway) from Laugh out Loud, to the sanguine bittersweet.
The script regularly calls for a "nonsensical interlude,†portions of rhythmic nonsense that separate individual solos. Always, the cellist guides the audience through the changing landscape. The production continues this way: the cellist sits to the side and interjects sensible, reflective statements. These are interrupted by longer interludes comprised primarily of phonemes — the building blocks of language — produced by the other singers. Much of the vocalist sound seems hysterical, harpy-like and unformed, yet perhaps aptly capturing the chaos of ecology; the five woman fall extraordinarily into sync. At those moments the audience is supported with a sudden cohesion: what often leads to the description of a particular life form: "We are in the Age of Arthropods, in the fossiliferous rocks the oldest have suddenly appeared the species belonging to the great divisions of animals. But we are in the Age of Arthropods, far more numerous than Mammals."
Sextuor: L'origine des Espèces is not officially an opera. It is an oratorio. As an admitted amateur, I've at least discovered the broadstrokes of distinction. Operatic characters interact with one another; operas also engage historical or mythological themes. Oratorios have traditionally dealt with sacred material; they are often produced in churches and require little in the way of sets. Sextuor: L'origine des Espèces seems to occupy a wonderful in-betweenness where these genres are concerned. On the one hand, it uses the scientific tradition as a sacred platform, conjuring the feel of an origin-story within the terminology of science. At the same time it incorporates colloquial myth, telling the Cinderella story between the music of birds and the introduction of fish. As in a proper oratorio, the characters interact very little. What interaction exists appears incidental.
One might say the same in biology. In Giorgio Agamben's The Open: Man and Animal, one of the primary projects of the book is to examine where and how humanity defines itself against its animal cousins. Over the course of that discussion, Agamben incorporates an historical naturalist Jakob von Uexkill. "Where classic science saw a single world that comprised within it all living species hierarchically ordered from the most elementary forms up to the higher organisms,†Agamben writes, "Uexkhill instead supposes an infinite variety of perceptual worlds that, though they are noncommunicating and reciprocally exclusive, are all equally perfect and linked together as if in a gigantic musical score at the center of which lie familiar and at the same time, remote little beings called Echinus esculentus, Amoeba terricola, Rhizostoma pulmo, Sipunculus, Anemonia sulcata, Ixodes ricinus, and so on†(p. 40). Agamben goes to describe precisely how the fly cannot physically perceive the spider web — that the worlds of spider and fly while being mutually reliant essentially exclude one another. To return to SLDE, the piece occurs both as a cohesive — potentially operatic — whole, and as an oratorio comprised of several, independent, interlocking parts.
And then there is the most marvelous end. Because any biography must surely account for the demise of its subjects, a performance based on the fleeting occasion of life must also account for its own disappearance. Suddenly humanity's advantage — its peculiar capacity to tell a story — seems especially mistaken in its privilege. A gross delusion we share, even Homer's posthumous fame would appear insignificant: another bit of fodder for time's desert. SLDE admits to the weight of that knowledge by drawing through audience into darkness. We feel its immanence. The stage goes dark after a particularly moving solo by Love, in which she describes the pleasure of being alive, just shy of an epiphany perhaps. "But I, I was truly having fun. I whirl about as if drunk. I understood that I was carrying a great weight on my shoulders. I have an explanation for the beginnings of life on Earth. I understood that I was already lucky to be a living being." Following her song (she has taken off her lab coat and wears only a dress now), the other performers gather in a circle, joining hands around a single light. The cellist puts down her bow and joins the others, who must open their circle wider to admit her. "O, you who listen to me tell this story full of memories and holes, we are that improbable," says the Cellist in French, "and fragile species heading toward extinction and the extinction of all species, internal causes, external causes, I do not know, we the original species that tells the story of its origins full of holes and gaps, because we have so few documents, an incomplete story of the Earth in an everchanging dialect, of which we have but the last volume, some fragments of its chapters and some lines of its pages or some letters, and words of uncertain meaning! Immense Nature improbable and unpredictable, contingent nature, where are we going, we who say life was wonderful, we who say life is wonderful?"
This production made its New York debut once before one year ago. Almost the same cast performed at Joria Productions in 2012. After several months of preparation this year, they had a three-night run. I felt so fortunate to be there. It brought so much to mind — for instance, Timothy Morton's ideas about Nature and how there is no "over there" Nature, only a mesh we all inhabit together: SLDE captures that, while at the same time maintaining the tension of a human narrative. It also made me think about artist Marion Laval-Jeantet's experiments in hybridity and how these potentially challenge hierarchical habits between species. And then, of course, the very recent attempts Russian scientists have made to drill into an ancient lake in Antarctica: in order to see what life may have endured there, outside our human timescapes.  There is so much more to write about and think about, perhaps most of all the musical components, which I am probably the least qualified to consider. But. It was amazing. The energy and vitality of its members as they negotiated what I can only imagine to be a most challenging musical score. I hope they can put it on again, for a longer run; I would love to see it again.
**Sextuor: L'origine des Espèces was directed by Jeremy Bloom and Nick DeMaison with lighting design by Kryssy Wright. It was hosted by Joria Productions from February 2nd-4th, 2012.

Comments about Home Dynamix Zone 3'7" x 5'2" Rug:
I needed a rug with a low pile for a side entrance hallway that would allow the closet doors to open and one that we wouldn't mind wiping our wet or dirty shoes and boots on. I also was looking for something that was not geometric or flowered. This rug fits the bill. However, because it is mostly black, it shows everything. Just means we vacuum more!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Thank goodness for Ben Crane.
Just as I was about to slip into my summer"sports" depression, along comes PGA golfer Ben Crane with this gem of a video.
Crane and his PGA Tour comrades Rickie Fowler, Bubba Watson and Hunter Mahan also known as the "Golf Boys" boy band released their first single, "oh, oh, oh" Tuesday night on the Golf Channel presented by Farmers Insurance.
If you don't erupt into laughter after watching these guys spit lyrics like "if you want to play with the pros now, you gotta hit it in the hole" while posing as hip hop stars on golf carts, then you have have no sense of humor.
Even better than simple kicks and giggles, Crane's musical inspiration will be put to a good causes. For every 100,000 views of this video, Farmers Insurance will donate $1,000 to charitable causes by Ben Crane according to the Huffington Post.
It's great to see Crane showing that golf players have personalities too. But on another unrelated note, is it just me or does Rickie Fowler resemble another "boy bander" Joe Jonas?

40 Years Ago: Mott the Hoople's 'Mott' Album Released
Mott the Hoople officially entered the second and greatest chapter of their career in July 1973, when they released their sixth album. The LP's title, a simple 'Mott,' said it all: The band that had been kicking around since 1969 as an often heavy-handed British bluesy rock group led by a singer with a serious Bob Dylan obsession was no more. It was glam time.
The change actually took effect on the previous year's breakthrough album, 'All the Young Dudes,' in which producer and newly minted rock star David Bowie reshaped Mott the Hoople, who were close to packing it in after a half-decade's worth of failure, into glam-rock superstars, thanks to the title track — a song Bowie penned specifically for the floundering group.
But no one knew if 'Dudes' would click, so when Mott — led by singer and songwriter Ian Hunter, who wrote or co-wrote all but one of 'Mott"s nine songs — began recording the follow-up LP in late 1972 and early 1973, this time producing themselves, their career was no longer on life support.
They still had something to prove, however. Namely, that Bowie wasn't 100-percent responsible for their new success. Hunter, particularly, was adamant about proving the band's own contributions to its music. It's one reason he insisted on the group producing 'Mott' themselves and filling the record with self-written songs (guitarist Mick Ralphs wrote the one Hunter didn't have a hand in).
Whether or not it was intended, the album turned out to be a reflection of Mott the Hoople's rocky path to stardom. The rock stars who populate the record are bitter, beaten down and at the end of the line, physically and emotionally. The lead track and hit single, 'All the Way From Memphis,' was based on a true story about the time Ralphs' guitar was shipped to the wrong city on tour. 'Honaloochie Boogie' is all about getting lost in the scene. And the autobiographical 'Ballad of Mott the Hoople (26th March 1972, Zurich)' is as weary as its road-tired melody lets on.
'Mott' became the band's only Top 10 in its homeland; in the U.S., it reached No. 35 (the next album, 1974's 'The Hoople,' climbed to No. 28). 'Honaloochie Boogie,' which was released before the album, peaked at No. 12 in the U.K.; 'All the Way From Memphis' made it to No. 10. Along with 'All the Young Dudes,' it's Mott the Hoople's greatest work and, in a way, their most representative. By the following year, Ralphs had left for Bad Company, Hunter was outgrowing the band and things were starting to splinter. After releasing 'The Hoople,' they were finished. 'Mott' remains their most personal statement.

Information About Posted Restaurant Inspections Calgary and Area
The restaurant inspection database, for the Calgary and area zone of Alberta Health Services,
was created under direction of the Alberta Minister of Health. The database allows the general
public to search a restaurant's most recent health inspection reports in order to make better
informed decisions about where to eat. Restaurant health inspections, of the type listed
below and conducted after January 1, 2008 will be included in the database.
The information posted on the Alberta Health Services website regarding inspections of
food facilities in the Calgary and area zone is valid only for the time of inspection.
Although every effort is made to have new inspections posted within 72 hours,
unforeseen circumstances may delay the posting process.
If a facility exceeds the maximum acceptable level of risk for continued operation
or if the operator fails to correct or eliminate the hazards identified, the Public Health
Inspector as an Executive Officer has the discretion to order the facility closed.
Types of Inspections:
Initial / Approval - an inspection of a facility performed prior to its opening
to determine if the facility is in a condition capable of being operated in
compliance with applicable legislation.
Monitoring / Routine - an inspection of a facility performed at relatively
consistent intervals and intended to determine compliance with applicable
regulatory requirements.
Follow-up / Re-inspection - an inspection of a facility performed to determine
if non-compliant conditions noted on a previous inspection have been corrected.
Demand / Complaint - an inspection of a facility performed in response to a
complaint received from the public or another agency alleging the existence of a
non-compliant condition or a nuisance condition.

Princeton, coming off a thrilling 3-2 victory at Dartmouth last Saturday night, would love to conclude its season on a three-match win streak, which would include a victory over the Ivy League champion Bulldogs. Yale comes into the weekend having clinched the league crown with an 11-1 record, while Harvard is three matches back.
A win over Yale would also allow Princeton a possible opportunity to catch Brown, which plays Friday at the Palestra, for a share of fourth place in the league standings. Brown, which won a 3-2 thriller over the Tigers in Providence earlier this season, comes into the weekend with a 7-5 Ivy mark.
Princeton has gotten terrific play recently from its youth, including two-time Ivy League Rookie of the Week Cara Mattaliano, who has a chance to catch Columbia's Bailey Springer for the kills lead in Ivy play during the final weekend. Mattaliano currently ranks second with 3.39 kills per set, and her 3.82 points per set ranks third in the league.Sophomore teammate Kendall Peterkin goes into the final weekend with the points lead, as her 3.89 points per set is .01 ahead of Springer and .07 ahead of Mataliano.
Princeton will also say goodbye to the four members of its senior class this weekend: Kelsey Janke, Leah Jordan, Chelsea Parker and Christine Renschler.

The intersection where Shariah Casper was killed last year has since been outfitted with ample saftey signage by the UTA.
The UTA made sweeping changes to the West Jordan crossing where Shariah Casper was killed in the days and weeks following the accident. Directional signs, mirrors and pedestrian fences were added. Sound walls were removed or shortened. Tactile pads and safety warnings were plastered along the ground. That intersection, Carpenter says, "is the single most scrutinized crossing in our system." The line, which had been in a pre-revenue testing phase, was shut down for a month while the agency did a top-to-bottom safety review of the entire system and identified other crossings, like 2700 West and 2200 West, with similar configurations.
According to the Federal Railroad Administration, which conducted an on-site investigation of the crossing two months later, "There was a general, all-around failure to do a critical safety evaluation of the line prior to the start of testing." The agency, part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, determined that, while the cause of the accident was Shariah's "failure to heed the active grade crossing warning devices for motor vehicles," the UTA contributed through the lack of pedestrian-specific warning devices and because of sight issues around the sound barriers.
Now, the UTA is moving forward with a total safety revamp. Many of the safety upgrades at the crossing at 3200 West and 8600 South will also be made at new crossings, as well as retrofitted at existing pedestrian intersections. Currently 59 TRAX and 25 FrontRunner crossings are protected by gates, flashing lights and audible signals, and another 53 run through signalized intersections. The new lines will add more than 70 new crossings. The total price tag, Goeres estimates, would run several million of the UTA's $200 million budget.
But, says Goeres, outfitting the crossings with ample safety precautions is a fine line. "One of our biggest concerns is over-engineering," he explains. "Any changes need to be made to increase safety, and you don't want to make too many. You want to make sure there's sufficient signage to get people's attention, but if you put too many up, they stop paying attention."
But signage and flashing lights and gates are only a part of it. Perhaps the grief of loved ones left behind, the pain of bystanders who witnessed a death and knowing that lives could be changed forever are the biggest teaching tools.
In April, ten months after Shariah was killed, Acacia turned to a Facebook memorial page—R.I.P. Shariah Casper—to talk with her cousin.
"Each day that I live without you is a day I sit wishing I was with you," she wrote. "When I join you, we are going to repeat our wonderful day on June 8 up until the accident. And nothing will harm us because we will be angels. I miss you more than words can describe. I hope you are happy and watching over me and the family. We need you."

He didnt bugger it up but I dont want to destroy it either. Ive welded alot of sheet metal patches into my chevelle and elcamino's so butt joints are nothing new. Ive got a polish blank sitting here and was wondering if anyones has ever welded in a repair panel in to a stamped reciever? I did this on a milled M64 as my first AK build a couple years ago. Now Im thinking of trying it on a stamped. I dont have to mess with the headspace or deal with the barrel pin this way. Thoughts? jim

La Monnaie ¦ Opera ¦ Guillaume Tell (in concert) ¦ Intro
Guillaume Tell (in concert)
Gioachino Rossini
In Guillaume Tell, his thirty-ninth and last opera, Rossini took a completely new direction compared to his previous works, and in 1829 presented one of the first great masterpieces of the new Grand Opéra genre. For this work – colossal in every respect, with a huge cast of soloists, large chorus and orchestra performing theatrical music, a corps de ballet, four acts with spectacular effects and almost four hours of music – Rossini made use of a libretto based on Schiller's play about the struggle for freedom by the Swiss cantons under the leadership of the legendary William Tell against the Hapsburg occupiers. A marvellous score fully permeated by Romanticism, which here, in the full, original French version conducted by Evelino Pidò, will undoubtedly produce some exuberant vocal fireworks!

DK weight
100% extra fine merino dk and aran weights, other dk merinos
These yarns are mill twisted and steam set for us from 5 strands of 3/44NM or 2/30NM lace weight extra fine merino yarn produced by Zegna Baruffa of Italy. The lace weight was sold as Cashwool because it has been spun so as to be exceptionally full and soft for a merino yarn, but it is pure merino, no cashmere.. The yarns ARE very soft though, and the colors are truly vivid.. The Super DK yarns are thicker, 12/30s, with a doubled, rope-like texture... we have added a few more dk merinos, details on the listings... the arans are from 12 strands of 2/48s, still the super soft Zegna Baruffa yarns
THE BALLS are the same yarn, but specially processed to relax and fluff up the yarn before balling. Each ball is 100g, approx 300 yards.

To accomplish the goal, a large amount of funding is needed.
Since being established in 1995, Habitat for Humanity Summit and Wasatch County has organized different fundraisers, said Executive Director Lisa Schneider.
"We've put on 5K runs and triathlons, garden parties and casino nights," Schneider said in an interview. "They were all very fun events, but we felt our fundraising goals were much higher than what we could do with those events."
So, last year, they presented their first gala called the Overall Ball.
"We felt a gala was more the direction we needed to go," Schneider said.
The event was a success, so, Habitat decided to do a second annual event that will be held at The Yard on Saturday, Oct. 13.
The night will include appetizers, libations, dinner, live music, a live auction and a silent auction.
"The music will be provided by the Park City High School Jazz Ensemble," Schneider said. "Last year they did such a great job, so we wanted them to do it again."
Some of the items that will be auctioned during the event will include a Laguna Beach Montage getaway that includes airfare, an "Out of This World" Jupiter Bowl party for 20 people and a porcini and vino dinner.
"The dinner is an event where up to eight people will be able to go out in the Uintas when the porcinis are in season with a first-generation family who knows how to look for and harvest the mushrooms," Schneider said. "Afterwards, everyone will go to this family's home and enjoy a traditional Italian meal."
Sponsors include Chuck and Carla Coonradt, Deer Valley Resort, Swire/Coca-Cola, Harvest Moon Events, Done to Your Taste Catering, Photography by Neets and Mountainside Printing.
"We are very appreciative of all they have done for us," Schneider said.
The emcee will be Hollywood screenwriter Jack Amiel, who is known for the family film about a whale rescue called "Big Miracle."
"Jack is also a comedian and he will be working with auctioneer Tim Partridge," Schneider said.
The money raised during the auctions will benefit Habitat for Humanity's various projects for the next year, including the affordable housing project on Marsac Avenue.
Last week, Habitat was given a LEED Platinum Award for one of the houses at 157 Marsac Avenue, and teams are framing another house right next door, Schneider said.
"We also have a restoration project in Heber that we're doing," she said.
While most fundraising galas require a black tie, the Overall Ball doesn't.
"We refer to the Overall Ball as the 'best dressed-down gala in town,'" Schneider said. "People, especially the gentlemen, have told me that they are so happy to be able to come to a gala wearing their jeans and not have to dress up.
"They have told me that they like wearing something comfortable to an event," she said.
"We have the mountain casual cowboy boots, Wranglers or ski-sports wear, which is how we are up here in Summit County, and then there's the construction theme and we welcome hard hats and overalls."
This year, like last year, the night will feature a hard-hat and overalls decorating contest.
"Jay Cooper, who doesn't live here anymore, won last year's hard-hat contest after he glued fuzzy balls on a hard hat," Schneider said. "And Elizabeth Thompson won for her overalls that honored breast cancer. She took her overalls and some pink fabric and made this beautiful gown and put some pink ribbons on it."
This year, the entire planning team is going to do something very special with their overalls, Schneider said.
"There are a lot of things people can do and we encourage everyone to be creative," she said.
Habitat for Humanity's Overall Ball will be held Saturday, Oct. 13, at 6 p.m. in the Yard. Tickets are $150 per person or $1,000 for a table of eight. For tickets call (435) 658-1400 or visit www.habitat-org.

Words by Korby Benoit
Amanda Seales and Kris Bowers recently debuted their live collaboration Mo' Betta Wu at (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York. Mo' Betta Wu is a one of a kind show where the artists reinterpret hip hop classics by the Wu-Tang Clan as jazz standards. It all results into a spirited and comedic performance that will amuse hip hop heads and jazz cats alike.
Backed by an accompanying 4 piece band dubbed The Shinobis, Seales handles all the vocal duties as the character Killandra Bea (the name is a play on the term 'killa bee'). Killandra is a long-time resident of Staten Island's Stapleton housing projects. She is bold and quick witted, as she engages the audience with clever quips in between the reworked Wu-Tang bangers. Songs like "C.R.E.A.M.", "Shimmy, Shimmy Ya" and "Triumph" are presented in a manner in which most hip hop fans would never imagine.
Seales flexes some impressive vocal range, while the arrangements of jazz pianist Kris Bowers manage to retain the head nodding appeal of the original Wu-Tang material. The beats are easy to recognize yet unfold in new ways. This was a significant challenge for, Bowers as he explained, "That was a worry of mine as an arranger. Whether or not people were going to hear the samples through what we were playing. So I was glad that the audience picked it up."
Much of the show is driven by the chemistry between the artists and the audience. Amanda Seales displays a certain awareness which allows her to be playful and improvise much of her performance as Killandra Bea. She states, "It comes from a genuine connection to the audience. I've been really lucky to have that intuition and to be able to feel. And this is going to sound really existential, but to be able to feel beyond what people are showing me. It's what helps me be a good comic. It's what helps me be a good DJ and good performer."
With the 20th anniversary of Wu-Tang's seminal Enter The 36 Chambers upon us, as well as other hip hop masterpieces such as Nas' Illmatic, it is refreshing to see artists pay homage. Perhaps projects like Mo' Betta Wu are a way to remind us of hip hop's limitless potential.

I've finally got around to posting a video of my take on the classic NXT Segway:
My version uses a combination of an accelerometer (homemade), and a HiTechnic gyro to sense the angle/movement of the robot. The values from these sensors are fused using a Kalman filter and the result is used to drive a PID motor controller. The Robot is pretty stable and will stand around longer than I can be bothered to wait! It also responds well to being pushed around. I've experimented with making it move backwards/forwards and turn, but that work is not complete yet....
