Taylor's Universe: Kind of Red
The music is primarily progressive rock and jazz with the overall unified feel of a film soundtrack. King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, and Jan Garbarek references are sprinkled throughout the eight songs on Kind of Red. Taylor plays guitars, bass and keyboards, but approaches his music more as a composer creating different layers and textures. Jakob Mygind (ss/ts)'s soprano and tenor saxophones bring out moments of Garbarek as well as Wayne Shorter and Michael Brecker. Rounding out the group, trumpet and flugelhorn player Hugh Steinmetz adds bright shimmering phrases, while drummer Klaus Thrane accents the songs with sharp, stop/start patterns and strong drum rolls, all the while showing the right doses of restraint.
"Firestone" opens with a flare of sax, guitar and keyboards before falling into a Crimson staccato pattern that builds and levels off. "Jakriborg," built around keyboard and flute, uses a lighter, circular form of repetition. "Crackpot Men" unleashes the full drama of the mellotron and organ with soprano and tenor sax pushing back hard against it. "Sunday Imagine" begins with a plodding patient beat. A recurring piano melody and intermittent phrases from the trumpet play around a symphonic rock melody reminiscent of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" or Killing Joke's "Pandemonium." "Salon Bleu" has an accessible vibe with celebrant sax alongside some Weather Report-like wordless vocals and keyboards. An unexpected tempo increase in the last part takes the idea elsewhere. "Tortugas" features several minutes of serene keyboards before kicking back into the chugging guitar and drum patterns of the opener. The closer, "Lost in Jakriborg," begins subtly before reprising "Jakriborg."
All in all, it is best to appreciate and experience Kind of Red as a whole. Taylor's meticulous arrangement and composition of the music almost demands it. Future new music from this Danish musician and his colleagues will certainly be welcome.
Track Listing: Firestone; Jakriborg; Crackpot Men; Sunday Imagine; Salon Bleu; Terasso; Tortugas; Lost in Jakriborg.
Personnel: Robin Taylor: guitars, basses, keyboards, percussion, voice; Jakob Mygind: soprano and tenor saxophones; Hugh Steinmetz: trumpet, flugelhorn; Klaus Thrane: drums; Louis Nipper: Ghost Voices (5); Jan Fischer: Ghost Voices (5).

Remember when you were a teenager and your parents finally got tired of you borrowing money from them every week to support your stupid reading habit? So they made you get off of your dead ass and get a job so you could pay for your own books to smoke. Or whatever it is that kids do with books -- I'm not much on reading. And regardless of how scary the first day of that job turned out, it paled in comparison to the horror you felt filling out that first application.
For almost 15 years, I worked in a business that hired mostly high school kids because it was a bullshit job where the workers' output far exceeded their pay scale, and right-minded adults knew to stay away. In that time, I've seen thousands of applications, but only dozens of accepted workers ... mostly because it turns out that many teens really suck at filling them out. So if you're a teenager hunting for a job, try to remember that your jobless peers are probably in that predicament because ...
When we needed to fill a position at my old job, one of our greatest joys was rooting through the applications and finding the most ridiculous, exaggerated job titles from their previous employment. We've all done it -- we've doctored up our last position to make it sound more important and impressive than it really was. The difference between adults doing it and teens doing it, though, is that adults generally have more work experience, so they've had positions that supply a better foundation for stacking on the piles of bullshit. For instance, "Social Networking Strategist" is a pretty cool-sounding way to title the job of "posted shit on Twitter and Facebook." They had a job with computers, trying to promote a website. That's pretty easy to decorate because it's already tech-related.
But bring in a teenager whose only job has been changing oil at the local auto dealership, and there's virtually nothing to work with. I've seen "oil technician" used more than I'd like to admit. Actually, no, it brings me great joy to admit it: I've seen it about 50 times on peoples' work histories. "But John, that kind of fits, because mechanics are also called 'techs,' and the guy changed oil." Fine, I also used to work at a car dealership as the cleanup guy, washing mud off of the lot cars. The 19-year-old who worked with me referred to himself as an "automotive appearance specialist." He had a bucket and a sponge.
Shhhhh ... he needs his full concentration to pull off this tricky, highly specialized task.
What I found over the years is that the younger the applicant, the more retarded their titles would become. I'm not joking at all when I tell you that I've seen "Dishes Technician" to describe the highly technical task of washing dishes. "But John, if he's washing-" No. No buts. There is nothing wrong with washing dishes for a living -- it's a paycheck. But if you do that job, you fucking own it. You don't try to flower it up with some bullshit-sounding title. You hold your head up high and say, "I'm a dishwasher. I wash dishes. Fuck you, it paid my goddamn rent this month."
The heart of the matter is this: It isn't so much that you're trying to make a mundane job sound important and techy. It's that when the potential employers read these titles, they think, "Do they think I'm fucking stupid? Like I'm going to read that title and decide 'Holy shit, we have to snatch this one up right now before someone else does!'"
"I specialized in the removal and disposal of potentially biohazardous materials."
But slightly worse is the education section, where they ask where you went to school and what subjects you studied. I've seriously seen guys list off every single class they took, right down to fucking PE. If the furthest you've gone in education is high school, you can skip the latter question. They know what you studied because it's the same goddamn thing that everyone in high school studies. All they want to know is if you have some special knowledge or skill set that would make it easier for them to train you. However, almost every teenager's application I've read has padding, like "Fluent in Microsoft Word" or "two semesters of Latin." All you're doing at that point is creating a "one-up" story for some asshole manager later in life: "Oh, you think that one was bad? One time, I had an application from this high school kid ..."
"So I said, 'I see you took Sex Ed? You're definitely going to need that here! Bend over!'"
4They Get Obvious Help in the Wrong Way
We were in kind of a bind after one guy went to lunch and never came back, followed by the firing of another worker who had access to a fake doctor's prescription pad and used it frequently. So the timing couldn't have been more perfect when a 17-year-old kid showed up with his dad, looking for an application. Bringing someone with you when you're looking for a job isn't the smartest idea in the first place, but at that age, it's excusable. Some of them are looking for a job to buy their first car, so how else are they going to get there?
While the kid silently filled out the application, his dad got chatty with me and the hiring manager, telling us that it was high time his son got a job because "all he does is sit around the house and play goddamn video games." And "I can't even get him to get off of his ass to do basic chores without hearing him whine about how much it sucks, so he's getting a job whether he likes it or not and learning a little about real life."
"And don't even get me started on his stealing problem. Isn't that right, you little thieving bastard?"
The second he left, we pulled out the Post-it notepad and wrote a big red "NO" to decorate the cover of his application. Then we took a moment to appreciate the dad's honest, unintentional warning that his kid was a whiny piece of shit who had to be forced to do the most menial work. Sorry, Dad, but we're not his fucking babysitter.
Now, given, this was help that the kid didn't ask for, but we got plenty of the opposite, like applications written in two different colors of ink and two distinctly different handwriting styles. If that wasn't enough to tip us off that some of these kids were having Mommy fill out everything but the signatures, we actually watched more than one guy have her do it right in front of us.
"Oh, trust me, he'll fuck it up. He's Mommy's little dumbass."
But our business-wide favorite was the question "How will you get to work?" Since some of our employees were young enough to not have their first car yet, that's a pretty important question. The most common answer we got was "My girlfriend will drive me." Teens, I won't totally lay this one on you, though. This was the most common answer from age 16 right up through age 30. There were fully grown men who couldn't get themselves to work because they can't go one fucking year without getting a DUI.
Our thinking, though, was that if the girlfriend was responsible enough to have her own car and an actual driver's license, could you just send her in for an interview? Because she's the one we want to hire. She's demonstrated that, where life is concerned, she's the one who knows what the fuck she's doing. But on the extremely rare occasion when we did hire one of the "my girlfriend will drive me" guys, the same thing always happened: He started showing up late to work and blaming it on the girlfriend. "I told that bitch we needed to leave 15 minutes earlier, but she wouldn't listen!"
"She just had to keep stopping for Facebook pictures."

Editorial: Election fiasco
The Jakarta Post
The final official tally of the April 9 parliamentary elections was very much as widely predicted. The Democratic Party (PD) topped, followed by two other centrist parties, Golkar and the PDI-P. Nine political parties in all will take up the 560 seats at the House of Representatives while 29 others were eliminated.
The only surprise – shocking is more apt – to come out of the late Saturday night announcement was that 104 million valid votes represented. Considering that 171 million people were registered, the valid votes counted for only 61 percent of voters. A staggering 67 million people either did not vote, voluntarily or otherwise, or voted but had their ballots invalidated. Excluded from this figure are people who could not vote because they were not on the voter list. We will never know the exact number of disenfranchised voters, needless to say, the number was far too high.
If the number of votes measures the popular support the next House of Representatives enjoys, it gets worse. More than 19 million votes, or 18 percent of the total, were "wasted" because they went to the 29 parties that failed to make it to the House. Effectively, the new House will only enjoy the support of less than 43 percent of the voters. Talk about legitimacy.
Can the next House really claim to represent the interests of the people for the next five years given its low popular support? Will the political parties sign the results of the election nevertheless, knowing that millions of people were disenfranchised through no fault of their own? Should we still proceed with the presidential election on July 8?
Here is a national election that leaves more questions than answers. Let's hope the Constitutional Court settles these questions as it deals with petitions in the next few days from various people and organizations protesting the final election results. As far as the major political parties are concerned, they will move on to prepare for the July elections, including forming coalitions. With the official results, the real bargaining begins on nominating the presidential and vice presidential candidates.
PD is the only party to have passed the minimum threshold of 20 percent of House seats to earn the right to nominate their candidate, the incumbent President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. He will still need to form a coalition with other parties, if not to pick a running mate from, at least to beef up his party's strength in the House. The combination of Golkar and Hanura ensures they have the right to field their candidate, most likely Jusuf Kalla, Yudhoyono's estranged Vice President. The PDI-P of former president Megawati Soekarnoputri is still working to forge its own coalition.
Political expediency, while important, cannot come at the expense of credibility. These preparations are all well and good to ensure that the nation will have a new democratically elected government in place by mid October. But someone had better come up with the right answer to the big question: How to deal with the fact that millions of people had their constitutional right to vote violated on April 9.
So far, we have only heard the government and the election commission passing the buck. Until someone comes up with a satisfactory answer, or even an apology for the fiasco, we refrain from extending our congratulations to the winners.

A reader writes,
Dear Anita,
I have just recently been let go from my job. I did not see this coming, and I am starting to get really worried about what is going to happen next. What can I do to keep myself sane and organized in such a difficult time?
Dear Fish out of Water,
I am very sorry to hear about your recent layoff. Losing your source of income, professional connections, and many other benefits can be a very hard and difficult pill to swallow. But have no fear, there IS a light at the end of the tunnel.
First off, as hard as it may be, try your best not to panic. It may seem like it, but no, the world is not coming to an end and the sky is not falling. Collect your thoughts and do not display anger or do anything unprofessional upon receiving the news. You never know, the company may want you to come back in a few short months. But if you make a scene and make a terrible decision to bad-mouth your boss or vandalize company property, you will never get that chance.
After you have gotten yourself together, ask your supervisor for details about why it didn't work out. It may be painful to hear what went wrong, but if you take it as constructive criticism, it will help you tremendously in your next venture.
Finally, ask what type of severance package you will receive and whether the company is enlisting the help of a placement service or employment agency to help you find a new position elsewhere. If not, take control yourself and find the nearest placement agency and fill out the application the minute you walk out of that office. My friends at Select Staffing (www.selectstaffing.com) have a simple online application and have helped many people find work in tough situations.
Now that you are officially unemployed, you will want to make sure you have several things in order. First off, health benefits. Many insurance companies will offer major medical insurance for a minimal monthly fee that can save you thousands if an emergency surgery were to be necessary. COBRA will be offered from your employer but often is outrageously expensive. Review and consolidate your bills. Any extra luxury items, such as premium cable and your weekly Chinese takeout, may need to be removed from the budget for awhile.
Finally, get out of your house. Sitting at home sulking about how you are no longer employed will not get you anywhere. Try to exercise daily, join volunteer groups, make it a point to explore at least one professional networking event each week. The more you meet and mingle, the more likely you are to meet someone needing just your talents.
Keep your chin up and you will be okay!
Readers, I'm sure "Fish" would love to hear your words of encouragement as well. If you've been through a similar situation, please tell us how you rebounded!

In Sept 2011 I stumbled upon a blog & Twitter account called MorrisseysWorld. As unlikely as it seemed feasible, it appeared that Morrissey himself was behind MW, so I started to keep this blog as a diary of events. What has happened since, over the past 5 years, has been nothing short of phenomenal; especially Morrissey's formation of the Blue Rose Society & him consistently wearing blue roses on stage without the masses realising. Keep watching - OO

So glad to see you're writing, Rats, we'll look forward to tomorrow's blog post. I just missed Our Mozzer in the chatroom today - so nice to see he was there and it was encouraging to see what he wrote. Hopefully more of us will be able to catch him another time.ReplyDelete
I only ever seem to catch his backside as he leaves, but hey hoh... Glad he is still around and hope he is ok!ReplyDelete
Glad to see you are still posting even if you've cut back on it. I always enjoyed your blog so I am happy just to have you check in once in awhile with updates. And thanks for the chatroom info, I wasn't sure how to get on it after MW closed. Looks like you've been busy with your cricket. I don't know much about it, it looks a little like our baseball. I've been busy here as well, with the summer weather everyone tends to do more. Last Saturday night I was at a nearby race track(car) watching figure eight races with remodeled school buses amongst other odd races(mainly smashups). Not quite as relaxing and gentile as being out on the cricket grounds at Bath(as it looks per the picture) but the kids I had with me sure enjoyed it. Good luck with your cricket, hope you have good weather.ReplyDelete
i expect more ratReplyDelete

Alice Medrich's Best Cocoa Brownies
To be honest with you, up until yesterday I was sure that the best and perhaps only decent brownie in Paris could be found in the vending machines that line almost all metro stations. The rest of them, littered throughout Australian-owned hipster coffee shops or the random boulangerie, always seemed too cakey, crumbly—too much something! Not chewy or chocolatey enough!
And so instead of ever ordering a brownie from a pastry shop, I've been resigning myself to those delicious, individually-wrapped St. Michel brownies au chocolat that could bring me happiness during my metro ride home for the petty price of a euro. I had no qualms about this and how I preferred a mass-produced commercial food product over its homemade version (I also still have no shame with the fact that for about ten years of my life my favorite brownie that I indulged in on a near-daily basis was the one from the Little Debbie boxes that had multi-colored "cosmic" sprinkles scattered over the top). Finding the perfect homemade brownie is something I gave up on a long time ago, anyway; I've never had a go-to brownie recipe to rely on to produce what I consider is the "best" brownie—the sort that are fudgy and dense and chocolaty, but still very chewy.
But at the urging of my friends to "bake something" yesterday, I thought I'd give the classic American brownie a go again. The thought of them is kind of perfect in a lot of ways, after all: they're near-universally loved and appreciated, they're portable and easy to share and store, and they just fit so well in so many different scenarios (which also means it's always easy to find an excuse for them—a birthday? trying to impress someone? having a bad day? going to the park to meet friends and just want to bring "something"?—brownies are your answer! Well, wine too, but that's another sort of lesson I've learned from this year).
Over the past couple years I'd been meaning to try two classic, extremely popular recipes that had both previously been sold to me as the brownies that would end my search for "the one"—the Baked brownie, and Alice Medrich's all-cocoa version. Obviously, this time I went for the latter. They've been written about all over the internet so much there is almost no point in me writing about them at all here, but nothing like jumping on the band wagon embarrassingly late, eh? So let me spell out their virtues:
1) They are dead easy to make. Throw things in a bowl, melt together, add a couple more things, bake in oven for 25 minutes. Done. In the time it takes for you to clean up and watch a Game of Thrones episode, they'll have cooled, chilled in the fridge/freezer for a bit, and are ready to cut-up and be devoured.
2) They only require cocoa powder, which makes things convenient when you have no chocolate around.
3) Besides making you feel like you'll be adding enough sugar to make 100 bars, the fact that the brownies are completely based on cocoa powder means that they end up with a very intense, true chocolate flavor, which is surprisingly often hard to find in most brownie recipes.
4) They're dense and chewy and everything I've been looking for in a brownie. Basically.
So yeah, I think these are IT. I'll probably still try the Baked brownie recipe sometime, just out of curiosity, but I can already tell my loyalties are forming tightly around this one here. And, dare I say it, I think I've finally found the bar that out-does my beloved St. Michel vending machine packets…

Best Cocoa Brownies
From Alice Medrich's Bittersweet first seen via The Wednesday Chef
Makes 16-ish
The pan I had around was larger than 8 by 8-inches, so ideally these brownies would be thicker. Also, I sprinkled raw walnuts over the top and I liked how they got toasted, but I think I would like trying these with the walnuts made in the batter, or maybe without any walnuts at all. Do what you'd like.
140 grams (10 tablespoons) butter
280 grams (1 1/4 cups) sugar
82 grams (3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons) unsweetened cocoa powder, natural or dutch-processed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, cold
66 grams (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 160 degrees C/325 degrees F and position a rack in the bottom-third of the oven. Line an 8 by 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, letting the ends hang over the edges of the pan.
Place the butter, sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a medium, heat-proof bowl. Set the bowl over a wide pan of simmering water, to create a bain-marie of sorts. Stir occasionally, allowing the butter to melt completely and mix with the other ingredients. The mixture should be hot and pretty gritty looking. Take off the heat and let cool for a minute or two.
Using a wooden spoon, stir in the vanilla. Then add in the eggs, one at a time, stirring virorously and fully after each one. The batter will become homogenous, thick and shiny. Like dark, pretty sludge! Add in the flour, stir until no streaks remain, and then continue to beat the mixture vigorously for 40 strokes. Spread evenly into the prepared pan, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out slightly moist with bits of batter. (I tend to err on the side of under- versus over-baking when it comes to brownies. They always set up well when cooling, and over-baked brownies are like, the worst.) Let cool completely. They are easiest and cleanest to cut through after they've been sitting in the fridge or freezer for awhile, and I prefer to eat them cold and fudge-like.
I'm not going to withhold from bragging: in general, spring this year in Paris is killin' it. It's been beautiful and sunny, and I've already been laying in parks around the city more times than I can count. I'd forgotten that green is a color that exists in this city, but it seems to be coming from everywhere. I'm trying to be better about recording and capturing it.

I used to have a soft spot for the same Little Debbie brownies, only with nuts. Sometimes that's just what has to happen.
Spring looks so wonderful! I'm looking forward to not sitting in front of a computer so much. Laying in a park with a brownie sounds just about right.
Oh, I just LOVE when I have everything on hand to make something! :-) I will be making these tomorrow for sure!

Amy! These look so incredible… also so does that photo of the park in Paris!! I love you and can't wait to catch up with you when I am home.
(btw I am in the airport right now and at first I was so sad to see pictures of such a delicious brownie because I am used to deprivation/the unavailability of all quality baked goods, but I am actually going to be in the US tonight!! I might actually be able to get some kind of yummy brownie in the near future!! yes!!!!)

I've worn glasses nearly my entire life. I started wearing them when I was 8 years old. Over the years I've worn everything from super dorky big prescription glasses with a unicorn etched in them to sleek black frames.
Watching the Glasses.com commercial Eleanor was like watching a vignette of my childhood – wearing frames too big for my face to make up for the fact that I lost peripheral vision, constantly cleaning my prescription glasses so that I could see the world more clearly, and remembering to hold onto them tight when trying new things. I never let my glasses keep me from experiencing the world. My parents bought me a swimming mask with prescription lenses so that I could dive to the bottom of the pool. I had tinted prescription lenses so I could go horseback riding out in the sun without squinting. I always kept a cleaning cloth handy to polish my lenses, too. When I would go from being indoors in the air conditioning to outdoors in the muggy Indiana summer, my glasses would immediately steam up and it would drive me crazy!
It's taken me a long time to find the right pair of glasses. Because I'm -9 in each eye, I have to be careful with how I pick my frames. I can't have too tall of a frame, or the lens will distort funny on the sides. I have to get my lenses crafted as lightweight and thin as possible, since I have to get such a high prescription or they're unbearably heavy. I also shell out for the anti-glare and scratch resistant coating, since I spend hours staring at computer screens or my kindle fire. I have spent hours searching for the right frames so that I can be happy with my glasses. Once I find that pair, I wear them for years because I've had such a hard time finding frames I can love.
Glasses.com has great selection of frames to suit my taste. I fell in love with their cat eye and petite selection. After my yearly eye exam, I will be looking at glasses.com to find a new set of frames. I especially like the Jill Stuart and Kate Spade pairs shown above.
I wear my glasses every day. They're the first thing I put on in the morning when I wake up and I wear them at night after I take out my contacts and I'm reading a book on my kindle fire. I love my glasses and they help me to see beauty in the world around me – from my poodle Phaedra to my colorful hair.
Do you wear glasses? What's your favorite type of frame? Let me know in the comments below!

Insulation is one of the most important elements of an energy-efficient home, if not the most important. Keeping warm air in and cold air out during the winter months means your heating system doesn't have to work as hard to keep your home nice and toasty, saving valuable fuel resources and lowering your energy bills at the same time.
It used to be that traditional fiberglass insulation was the only game in town, but now there are several green insulation alternatives that are better both for you and the environment. Fiberglass insulation contains particles of actual glass that are tiny enough to be inhaled (and embed themselves in your skin, making you itch), so you can imagine the damage it can do to your lungs if it's not handled properly. But the bigger issue is the binders hold the fiberglass particles together: The resins typically contain formaldehyde that off-gasses freely, and the dyes usually give off fumes too.
If your project requires fiberglass, a greener choice is EcoBatt Glasswool. EcoBatt boasts not only fiberglass made from recycled bottles and sand (instead of new glass), but its binders contain no formaldehyde, phenol, acrylics or artificial colors.
Then there's the greenest option of all (and the coolest): insulation made of recycled jeans! Remember those Levi's you wore almost every day in high school? They might be inside the walls of somebody's house now. Bonded Logic UltraTouch Recycled Cotton Insulation is made from nothing but shredded denim treated with an EPA-registered, non-off-gassing fungus inhibitor--so it's non-toxic, recycled, and it works like a charm.
Cellulose is another green insulation choice, and National Fiber's Cel-Pak is proven to beat fiberglass, foam and rockwool when it comes to performance. Even better, it's made of 100% recycled paper (so that's where all your office memos ended up!), and requires very little energy to manufacture.
Green Depot carries a range of the best green insulation options available today. Have a look through our selection to find some that's right for your project, or even just to learn about how your insulation choice can impact the environment.

NEW YORK — Maria Sharapova's serve and her ground strokes were abandoning her. What she had was her conditioning.
The five-time major champion rallied from a set down to beat 95th-ranked Alexandra Dulgheru 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the second round of the U.S. Open yesterday. Sharapova overcame nine double-faults and 46 unforced errors.
Dulgheru of Romania had played just twice since mid-July, and she was dragging as the match approached two hours late in the second set.
On a hot, windy day, the fifth-seeded Sharapova avoided another upset on the women's side. Fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska and 21st-seeded Sloane Stephens lost earlier.
"As tricky as it is, you have to expect not to play your best tennis and find a way to win," Sharapova said.
Dulgheru has never been past the third round at a Grand Slam tournament and fell to 3-14 against top-10 opponents.Two-time U.S. Open champion Venus Williams reached the third round for the first time since 2010, beating 78th-ranked Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland 6-1, 6-4.
The 19th-seeded Williams, at 34, is the oldest woman left in the draw. She had departed in the second round at Flushing Meadows three years in a row.
Stephens, a 21-year-old American, stumbled to her earliest loss at the U.S. Open. She lost to 96th-ranked Johanna Larsson.
"Everyone goes through times like this," Stephens said. "I'm not the first person and won't be the last."
Down a set and a break, Larsson of Sweden rallied to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 to match her best performance at a major tournament.
Second-seeded Simona Halep had no such trouble, routing Jana Cepelova 6-2, 6-1.
Peng Shuai of China, ranked 39th, beat Poland's Radwanska 6-3, 6-4.
The U.S. Open is the only Grand Slam tournament in which Radwanska, the 2012 Wimbledon runner-up, has failed to reach the quarterfinals.
"I really want to know the answer," Radwanska said. "Then maybe I will find a way to play better here and just try another way to be in the second week."
On the men's side, sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych swept 2001 U.S. Open champ Lleyton Hewitt 6-3, 6-4, 6-3. Seventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov beat American Ryan Harrison 6-2, 7-6 (4), 6-2.

Time spent together crucial to the health of family unitscomment (0)
March 9, 2003
The amount of time families spend together is increasingly being proven to affect the health of the family unit. Not only should parents take time out for fun with children, but they should also invest in their everyday routines, especially education.
A new survey finds American teenagers say support from parents is more important than the latest computer in helping them learn about science.
"As our children know, the latest technology is the oldest technology — brain power plus motivation," said Professor Lester Thurow, an economist who chairs the Lemelson-MIT Program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Ga. "Our study shows that kids still want attention, support and guidance from parents above all else."
More than half of teens surveyed (55 percent) said encouragement from parents is a better idea than "buying computers, technology, and educational equipment," according to an annual survey by the Lemelson-MIT Program.
The Lemelson-MIT Program was established in 1994 to inspire a new generation of American scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs through awards and educational programs. The findings are from a survey released Jan. 10.
"Spending quality time with your children — which can be very difficult to do these days — is extremely important," said Colin Twitchell, the program's "invention mentor" and director of the Lemelson Assistive Technology Center at Hampshire College in Amherst, Ma.
Other responses to the survey from teenagers on advice to parents were:
"Encourage children to do well in school" (55 percent).
"Ensure access for kids to books/learning materials" (39 percent).
"Help children with homework or school projects" (36 percent).
"Buy children equipment related to science" (35 percent).
"Take children to museums" (27 percent).
"Get involved with programs at their kids' schools" (20 percent).
Responses to the survey from teenagers on advice to schools were:
"Better-equipped labs and workshops" (47 percent).
"Field trips to labs, universities and factories" (44 percent).
"More computers in school" (43 percent).
"More time to invent and create in class" (32 percent).
"More science and technology teachers" (19 percent).
This survey was conducted among 503 teenagers ages 12 to 17 in December 1999 by Roper Starch Worldwide Inc.

Our superbowl was extra special this year as it was also the day my hubby turned 30! Woo hoo, he's quite the special guy so I threw him a superbowl birthday party with our friends and family.
Here was our set up . . .
I made a huge orange and white pennant banner out of cardstock that I strung across the family room. I also hung a "game day" banner by the front door and a "happy birthday" banner on the entertainment center (from my etsy shop). I had a "sweets" table in the kitchen (even boys like cupcakes… ;) ). I decorated it with a piece of turf (from home depot) and a variety of serving trays to display all the food. I hung two large footballs (I just cut out from brown poster paper and made the lines using white artist tape) and hung it from the ceiling. While I was at home depot buying turf I grabbed some turf samples to use as coasters and bought some little footballs at iparty (just for fun). Our kitchen counter top was used as a buffet, I lined it with kraft paper and made it look like a football field – also with white painters tape and number stickers. I labeled the sweets with food labels and also used stickers (also all from the etsy shop) to decorate the cups and paper cones (filled with roasted pecans). I posted prediction sheets on the window with questions for everyone to guess at and a few nostalgic photos of the birthday boy (what a cutie…).
Of course all the guys care about is the food…and there was some good food.
We had a sub platter from Publix, tons of boneless wings from Buffalo Wild Wings, celery, ranch, chips, spicy guacamole, cheese tray in the shape of a football ((pinterest find). On the sweets table we had (delicious) cupcakes from (local) Sugar Darlings, fondant cupcake toppers from Claudia Cupcake Lady, popcorn, original cheesecake (his favorite) from Cheesecake factory, fudge walnut brownies, chocolate chip cookies and roasted pecans (big hit and super easy..I made them using this recipe.)
love this guy!
and my sweet sisters (2 out of the 3)! Everyone was supposed to wear "team gear" to make it a bit more festive, of course only about 4 people participated… all in all, a football party is definitely a great, easy theme for a guys birthday. I came up with a lot of ideas when putting together this inspiration board a few weeks ago.

Homeland Security and Public Safety
States Tackle School Safety After Sandy Hook Shootings
South Dakota governor signs bill that aims to make schools safer by introducing "school sentinels" who would carry guns.
In recent weeks, the South Dakota legislature has been rattled over a bill that aims to make schools safer by introducing "school sentinels" — teachers, administrators, security guards or community volunteers — who would carry guns to protect their schools.
"If you have not heard about the sentinels bill, it's probably time to come out of hibernation," state Senator Craig Tieszen joked last week, according to the Argus Leader.
The bill, which school districts could adopt voluntarily, passed both chambers of the legislature, despite protest from the state's school board association and most Democrats, and was signed by Gov. Dennis Daugaard on March 8.
South Dakota is among several states considering new school safety laws in the wake of the December shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 young students and six adults dead.
A month after the tragedy, President Obama called for a mix of gun-control measures and increased security at schools. His plan would ban military-style assault rifles and strengthen background checks, but also would include more money for guidance counselors and school resource officers, who are usually armed and trained to work at schools. He also supported requiring schools to adopt emergency plans and beefing up mental health services to earlier identify students in need of help.
Different Approaches
States have pursued a variety of proposals. The day before Obama released his plan, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a new law, which toughens gun laws in schools and requires them to submit school safety plans to a new School Safety Improvement Team. The act also bans assault weapons, puts greater restrictions on ammunition, and requires counselors and therapists to report potentially dangerous patients to mental health officials. In February, Arkansas passed legislation requiring the state to determine whether schools are equipped to respond to acts of violence.
Kathy Christie, who heads legislative research at the Education Commission on the States, says a new trend in school security strategy stresses greater emphasis on training teachers to spot mental health problems in students and refer them for help. "They're looking at what is the first line of defense," she says.
But the question of beefing up security in schools — particularly allowing teachers and other school staff to be armed — has proved more divisive. Many education leaders criticized the National Rifle Association after it recommended putting an armed guard in every school. After Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell also suggested that the state consider arming teachers, leaders of the country's two largest teachers unions, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, jointly condemned the idea.
"Guns have no place in our schools," Dennis van Roekel of the NEA and Randi Weingarten of the AFT said in a joint statement.
Paying for Security
In just under a third of the nation's schools, guns do have a place, at least some of the time. According to Department of Education statistics from the 2009-2010 school year, about 28 percent of schools had some armed security staff, with more than 50 percent of middle schools and 60 percent of high schools reporting the presence of armed staff.
Those numbers could increase under the president's proposal, but it could be expensive. Mo Canady, executive director of the National Association of School Resource Officers, estimates that each resource officer costs $50,000 to $80,000, depending on location.

Mr. T Stared at Clouds and Had Mountains Interpreted for Him
I met Laurence Tureaud (Mr. T) three years ago at a music studio in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles. We were on a deck listening to a stereo and I turned him onto the instrumental hip hop of Madlib's Beat Konducta Vol. 3 & 4: India. He loved the Bollywood samples, and the lumbering, squared off beats. Those slowed and mashing Madlib beats, like Godzilla grazing through the city of New Delhi. Now, two or three times a year, Mr. T emails me asking for music suggestions. He wants to know good music to listen to. Occasionally, he refers to me as "Lemonhead." Sometimes T will call, while listening to the music I've pointed him to. He'll say, "Lemonhead, what is this? Explain this music."
A week ago, I told Mr. T to get the instrumental albums Sewn and Choral by Mountains. Mountains is the Brooklyn based duo of Koen Holtkamp and Brendon Anderegg. They raise acoustic, ambient soundscapes. The compositions are poised, elongated, and close to experimental. Melodies picked on acoustic guitar cycle over cirrus beds of analog synths. Field recordings of creeks and rain and waves wash in and out. Anderegg and Holtkamp don't play their instruments as much as they cultivate them. Through delays and modulations, sections of the songs are more arrived at than performed. This coming January 22nd, Mountains release their next album Centralia on Thrill Jockey Records. With it, they continue to hone and sculpt the planes of their sound.
I explained this to Mr. T, but he didn't like it. He said, "No Lemonhead, what's it really about? None of this blah blah blah stuff." So I told him to call me back the next day at the same time from a place where he could see the sky. Twenty-four hours later he called back from his convertible with Mountains cued up on his stereo, and said clouds were rolling by overhead. I had something prepared. He said, "Let it happen, Lemon." I told him to play Sewn's "Sewn Two." And I read him the following:
If these words were anything else, they'd be a basin. Then they'd be the road you just drove. Embedded and taken. This road goes. Sun rips through wing shapes in the clouds and you see things. Your favorite gold chain there becomes a snake, but instead of being charmed, it charms you. The chain-snake cloud combs the curves of the day, then it says the day is listening. Down to the roots, these words, drinking in and releasing worlds.
Mr. T audibly breathed, "I like worlds. I gave my favorite chain to Stallone. Oh well. I'm fully reclined by the way, Lemonhead. This car has 12 little Bose speakers. The Mountains sound rich. I see leaves falling from trees. I see a lake that's still. I see a frozen dragon. You don't want to know how much I paid a lot for these speakers either." I continued –
The chain snake expands until it becomes a desert. An Arabian desert. A caravan there was moving over sand. Dunes and desert forever. The caravan is traveling an incense route. From Shabwah in Hadhramaut, the easternmost kingdom of South Arabia, to Gaza. A route the camels know well, harsh and long, but worth it in reward and spice. The caravan leader has nine year-old twins who go with him, always. A girl named Alima, and a boy Imam. On the third day of the third desert crossing of the year, the twins find an abandoned hawk's nest with three unhatched eggs inside.
Alima insists on taking the eggs in and incubating them, despite everyone in the caravan telling her it's too late to save what's inside. She mothers them with constant vigilance. She speaks to them and breathes on them for hours. Weeks later, in Gaza, after the caravan arrives, the eggs hatch. Everyone's bewildered. It shouldn't have happened. There was no life in those eggs. But Alima knew, never doubted, and thus, three baby hawks were born to the desert world. And each hawk with emerald eyes. Green, light filled emerald eyes.
Mr. T, "What happened to the cloud snake?"
Me, "The snake became the desert. Now put on "Add Infinity" from Choral."
The hawks are female. Alima names them Abia, Asima, and Anjum, meaning 'great', 'protector', and 'stars'. She and her brother raise them, care for them, and train them. They wear thick leather bracelets on both their wrists at all times, as the hawks become permanent fixtures. Flight is taken to quickly by the birds. Alima and Imam love them endlessly. These hawks with emerald eyes become perfect caravan companions. Caravan pets. Darts through the air, playing in the updrafts like kittens with talons. Flying from rider to rider for treats of meat. Fetching falling items. Delivering messages on ankle bracelets. Providing pest control, and posting on the upper slats of the sedans to clean their feathers.
Mr. T, "I had nice leather bracelets too. But gave those to Dolph Lundgren. He probably didn't even wear them. They should have had me be in Expendables."
Through the years the hawks remain with the caravan. They learn and ingrain the route in their aerial brains, keeping look out for thieves and places where travel would be impossible. Imam makes them special perches on one of the wagons. The hawks maintain a caravan watch. Giving warning, spotting water in the distance, reading weather, warding off enemies and hyenas. Communicating with different whistles and screams.
At night, with their emerald eyes glowing, they're easy to find and see - weaving green lines around the countless desert stars. The caravan of the three hawks never strays. Abia, Asima, and Anjum. Keen bolts. Guarding. Springing their green lit eyes through the darkness. There, and banking turns, like they've always been.
Mr. T was silent in his breathing for a few seconds then said, "Shaquille O'neal has a daughter named Amirah. Did you ever listen to his rap albums? I had Shaq Fu: Da Return, with the song, "Biological Didn't Bother." I like the Mountains. I'm calm now. It's like time travel, Lemonhead. Except with falconry. I feel like I know how snowflakes are made now too. I should get that chain back from Stallone.
An hour later, I spoke with Mountains' Koen Holtkamp. There was no talk of hawks, and he didn't know that Mr. T was sitting in a car, staring at clouds, listening to his music.

Wednesday, May 31, 1995 7:00
A quorum being present at Centerville City Hall, 250 North Main
Street, Centerville, Utah, the meeting of the Centerville City Planning Commission
was called to order at 8:30 p.m. by Chairman Lyndon Ricks.
Lyndon Ricks, Chairman
Gary Perkins
Laura Phelps
Bruce Powell
Leon Tanner
Dean Jamison
Ron Trump
Paul Allred, Community Development Director
Fred Campbell, City Engineer
Leila Johnson, Recording Secretary
Blair Furner, Joan Furner, Bev Cutler, Boyd Whitby, Steve Dutcher,
Susan Hainsworth, Janet O. Gill, Greg Cutler, Wendell W. Wild, Mark Green, Paul
INVOCATION: Laura Phelps
Due to lack of a quorum, the Planning Commission meeting was not
called to order until 8:30 p.m.
COMMISSION BUSINESS: The minutes of the Planning
Commission meeting held Wednesday, May 17, 1995 were reviewed and approved as
amended. The minutes of the Planning Commission/Board of Adjustment Joint Annual
Training Workshop were reviewed and approved as written.
Mr. Allred explained that Blair & Joan Furner and Jerome & Norma Hainsworth,
owners of approximately 1.463 acres of R-1-10 property located at approximately
100 East 500 North, had filed a petition to have the property rezoned from R-1-10
to R-1-85. The reason for the rezone request was to allow smaller rear yard
setbacks in a proposed cul-de-sac of five homes for more flexibility in the
types of homes which could fit on the lots. In the R-1-85 zone, one side yard
and the rear yard setbacks are less than in the R-1-10 zone.
Mr. Allred stated that Staff recommended approval of the rezone
request as the adjacent zoning was both R-1-10 and R-1-85. The lot sizes in
the proposed cul-de-sac were all over 10,000 square feet and the purpose of
the rezone would not be to squeeze more lots onto the property.
Also, the General Plan for this area states "To maintain compatibility
with the style of development presently existing in this area, all future residential
development in northeast Centerville should be low density single family." As
the R-1-10 and R-1-85 zones are both single family residential zones, the development
would be compatible with the General Plan.
Chairman Ricks noted that a public hearing for this item had been
properly noticed and opened the public hearing.
Greg Cutler, resident on 100 East Street, stated that he would
be in favor of the R-1-85 rezone as it may make it more feasible for rambler-type
homes to be built on the lots and the view from his home would not be impaired.
He also stated however, that he would be in favor of more space between the
homes, especially those next to his home, and for that reason he would prefer
the R-1-10 zone.
As there were no further public comments, Chairman Ricks closed
the public hearing stating that written comment in regard to this issue could
be directed to Mr. Allred by Wednesday, June 7, which comments would be forwarded
to the City Council.
Chairman Ricks asked for comments from the Planning Commission
members. Ms. Phelps and Mr. Powell asked about the short, confined design of
the cul-de-sac in relation to access by service vehicles and street parking.
City Engineer, Fred Campbell, stated that the design of the cul-de-sac met the
requirements and standards of Centerville City ordinance as far as the radius
and accessibility for fire equipment and other service needs. Mr. Campbell also
pointed out that there seemed to be no other feasible way to develop the property
except for very deep lots which, as a general rule, are not adequately maintained.
Mr. Tanner stated that he was not in favor of smaller rear yard
setbacks as the homes may be too close in the back. However, he also stated
that as there had not been a great deal of opposition from current residents
in the area in regard to this issue, he would not oppose the rezone.
Mr. Ricks noted that property is not usually down-zoned to allow
for additional lots or yard space. However, no additional lots were being requested
by the applicant and, as there seemed to be no other practical way to develop
the property, he would be in favor of the rezone. Also, new homeowners would
be aware of the close proximity of the rear yards in the subdivision so it shouldn't
pose any problems.
MOTION: Ms. Phelps made a motion to recommend to the City
Council approval of the rezone request for approximately 1.463 acres of property
located at approximately 100 East 500 North based on the findings that the rezone
would not be contrary to the existing zoning in the area and that the lots were
all planned in excess of 10,000 square feet. Mr. Powell seconded the motion
which passed by unanimous vote. Mr. Perkins was absent for the vote.
PARRISH CIRCLE SUBDIVISION - CONCEPT PLAN: Having
received a recommendation for rezone approval, the Parrish Circle Subdivision
was ready for concept plan approval. As stated previously, the short cul-de-sac
design and wide, shallow lots may make R-1-85 zoning advantageous in this location.
Mr. Allred stated that there was a concern regarding the street
offset with 500 North Street. It is usually advisable to line up street openings
with each other to avoid potentially dangerous left turns. However, in this
situation the City Traffic Engineer had given a recommendation that the offset
be allowed as most of the traffic would be turning right leaving the subdivision
and the five homes would not generate a significant amount of turning movements.
It was pointed out that the offset would not be awkward because of the direction
of the offset.
Mr. Allred also stated that Staff had asked the applicant, Mr.
Furner, to investigate the ground water situation in the area, the overhead
telephone lines across the property, and capping the existing wells on the site.
These matters were fairly minor and Staff did not anticipate they would jeopardize
the project proceeding to preliminary plat.
Mr. Campbell, City Engineer, stated that several holes had been
dug on the site by Mr. Furner and only on lot five was there water within four
or five feet below the surface. When Mr. Campbell checked on the lot, there
was no water. The other holes were dug to six or seven feet before water was
found. Mr. Furner's engineer would need to study the water situation more closely
but Mr. Campbell did not foresee any problems.
Mr. Allred noted that if fill were used in the subdivision as
planned, then the ground water would be even further from the surface.
Mr. Tanner asked if all the lots in the subdivision would be able
to be built on without a variance being requested. Mr. Furner replied that they
would and Mr. Allred explained that on irregularly shaped lots the rear lot
setback could be averaged.
Chairman Ricks asked for public comment. Greg Cutler, resident
on 100 East Street, stated that the homes in the area are mostly deep with large
rear yards and this site should be considered for this type of lots.
Mr. Allred explained that deep lots are not usually maintained
if not used as agricultural property so the City would prefer that the property
not be developed with that type of lots.
Ms. Phelps commended the applicant and Staff for covering the
necessary issues prior to the Planning Commission hearing.
MOTION: Mr. Ricks made a motion to recommend to the City
Council approval of the concept plan for the Parrish Circle Subdivision to be
located at approximately 100 East 500 North with the street offset having been
reviewed and approved by the City Traffic Engineer. Ms. Phelps seconded the
motion which passed by unanimous vote. Mr. Perkins was absent for the vote.
EVERGREEN COMMERCIAL SUBDIVISION - FINAL PLAT: Mr.
Allred informed the Commission that plans for final plat approval for the Evergreen
Commercial Subdivision, approximately 50 South 1250 West, had been put on hold
earlier in the day as the City Manager had raised several issues which needed
to be addressed.
Mark Green, developer, expressed his disappointment to the Planning
Commission that on the very day the project was to come before the Commission
for final approval, additional issues were raised which could have been taken
care of prior to this item being scheduled on the Planning Commission agenda.
The main issues which still needed to be addressed were the location
of the fence or wall between the commercial subdivision and the residential
subdivision in West Bountiful which abuts the Evergreen property to the south.
The height of the fence was also in question as the West Bountiful residents
had requested a higher wall than is required by Centerville City ordinance which
is six feet with a visual barrier.
The Planning Commission, Mr. Green, and representatives of West
Bountiful which included Wendell Wild, West Bountiful City Administrator, agreed
that the location of the fence should be on the property line rather than five
feet onto the Evergreen property as was discussed at a previous meeting. This
would alleviate a five-foot strip of land which would be difficult to maintain.
MOTION: Mr. Ricks made a motion to recommend that the fence
on the south property line of the Evergreen Commercial Subdivision, approximately
50 South 1250 West, be installed on the south property line. Mr. Tanner seconded
the motion which passed by unanimous vote. Mr. Perkins was absent for the vote.
Whether or not the entire property line adjacent to the residential
property should be fenced all at one time was also discussed. Mr. Green believed
that each business locating in the commercial subdivision should be responsible
for the fencing on their specific property at the time of development. The West
Bountiful residents wanted the entire length fenced when development of the
entire site began. The Planning Commission's recommendation was that each lot
be required to install a determined type of fence, such as precast concrete,
with a minimum height of six feet with the option that a greater height could
be required at the discretion of the Planning Commission according to the use
of the site, and that such requirements be recorded with the plat.
Drainage was also an issue needing further study. Mr. Campbell,
City Engineer, was in agreement with Mr. Green in that the natural drainage
from the residential subdivision onto the Evergreen property would not need
to be taken care of by Mr. Green but should be the responsibility of the residential
property owners. Mr. Campbell stated that a retaining wall on the property line
would be advisable.
The Planning Commission supported Mr. Green's request that a list
of all items needing to be addressed in regard to the Evergreen Commercial Subdivision
be given to Mr. Green in time for the issues to be taken care of prior to the
project's next Planning Commission hearing.
The meeting adjourned at 10:05 p.m.
Lyndon Ricks, Chairman
Recording Secretary

R is for Rain
My kids love to water color, so we created water color letters for our study of rain.
I outlined bubble letters–the word "Rain" for my daughter (4.5) and just an "R" for my son (2.5). On reflection, I would have also made a lower case "r" for my son.
My daughter painted "in the lines":
While my son opted for covering the entire page.
Then, they each got to sprinkle salt on their paintings for a nice droplet effect.
My son really enjoyed this part:
Then we cut out the letters. My daughter cut out most of hers and I helped her with some of the tougher spots. My son is not ready to cut out shapes yet so I gave him another piece of paper to cut with his scissors while I cut out the "R".
Now, a sane woman would have had the kids paste it on a blue sheet of paper and stopped there.
My daughter wanted to make a rainy day window, though, so we used blue painter's tape to create a window and painted a rainy scene:
After the backgrounds dried, we removed the painter's tape and wrapped the paintings in plastic to give them a wet, slick appearance.
Then, the kids pasted the letters onto the background.
After we finished our art, we read picture books about rain:
Who Likes Rain? by Wong Herbert Yee: The rhyming, sometimes onomatopoeic text, follows a little girl through a rainy day. As she explores, she discovers, "who likes rain?" and who does not. The sweet illustrations perfectly capture a preschool child's sense of wonder. We enjoy the built-in anticipation of guessing the answer to each riddle.
I Love the Rain by Margaret Park Bridges: Two young friends are waiting in the rain for the bus. Everyone is grumpy about the weather except Sophie, who shows Molly a new way of looking at the rain. Beautiful rainy-day illustrations subtly demonstrate how much more fun even a gloomy day can be with some creativity and a positive perspective. My kids love the imagery and I appreciate the friendship and the joie de vivre.

What a gorgeous rainy day project!
I'd love to feature this for our "April Showers" theme at http://Blog.CookiesKids.com. Do I have your permission to reblog this post and share it on http://Twitter.com/CookiesKids and http://Facebook.com/CookiesKidsFans?
I originally thought that the watercoloring activity was great by itself, but the idea to add them to a "rainy day window" as well was just toppings on the cake.
Kudos for your imaginative and educational ideas,
Lauren at CookiesKids.com
Love the window idea… it came out beautifully!
These turned out SO nicely!!

I finally got caught up on my apron orders and was printing out the packing slip so I could run a little cutie like this one to the post office.
(Except with polkadot ties.)
That's when I noticed that my customer had ordered "Strawberries and Gingham" instead of "Roses and Gingham"!
Mama's half heimers strikes again!
The good news is, if anyone would like to order a "Roses and Gingham" oilcloth apron, I can have it in the mail TODAY.
Just be the first to order (on my sidebar) and you'll be cookin' pretty in no time.

Is that a proposed problem? It is a particular case of the Riemann Theorem (long proof): If is analytic and , then has a removable singularity at .
1)a function has an isolated singularity at a point k (k is in the complex plane)
2)the function is continuous at the point k
How does one prove that the function has a removable singularity at k?
so far i have all the definitions...
the function is analytic in a punctured neighbourhood around k (isolated sing), and limf(z)=f(k) as z tends to k
OK, thanks. It's a homework problem, and we haven't covered the Riemann Theorem in lectures.. and looking ahead at past year's notes, it's not covered either. I'm not sure if we can use it, or prove otherwise. thank you nevertheless
Yes, this is essentially Riemann's theorem on removable singularities. I don't know what proof you saw online, but it shouldn't be particularly long or complicated. I will sketch a proof for you.
Essentially, if the function is bounded on a punctured disk and is holomorphic everywhere in that region, the singularity is removable. The intuition behind this is pretty simple; think back to some basic calculus course where you had a function like . The function looks like it should blow up at 1, but of course this is just in disguise, with there being a removable singularity at 1.
Suppose then that f is holomorphic on an open set containing and its closure. Denote the boundary of by . The idea is to basically prove that the Cauchy integral formula holds, and we will then get the desired extension.
What we do is set up a double keyhole contour around any point and . You can then find that
for all , and since this function agrees everywhere with the original function and is holomorphic function, it must be our desired extension. Thus the singularity is removable.
