You should see a good dermatologist or a general primary care doctor to treat your head lice. They can prescribe stronger medications that may not be available to you. Take care of your head lice and hopefully your hair, your mental, and your physical state will return to baseline. There is not substitute for a good doctor in your situation.

Got back to Auckland safe and sound anyway and met Jim again, so it was just chilling out with him for the night, having a nice dinner and some vino, it was lovely to be back at Jims apartment, we nearly starting calling this place home at this stage. Thanks Jim.
The next day we went into Auckland for another look around - we went for brunch in the Sky Tower if you don't mind! (it actually worked out really cheap as we didn't have to pay the observatory pass then....good call Jim!). This is a revolving restaurant at the top of sky tower, it rotates 360� in one hour and we had a lovely meal here while we looked out over the city of the sails
That night we went to meet some Kiwi's Orla knows from working in Manchester, Anita and Tahe. We went to the Viaduct area of the city (lots of pubs and restaurants on the harbour) with them. It was a lovely setting and we had a great evening. As it was Auckland day there was a great fireworks display on (one of the best displays we've ever seen) and this created a great atmosphere for our last night in New Zealand.
When we got back to Jim and Rosaries, Rosarie had arrived back from Sydney, so we drank champagne (nice one guys) to celebrate her return and chatted.
Our last day in New Zealand was taken up with doing a few jobs in the morning and then off to the airport. Jim the sound man drove us over there and then we said our good byes. So before we knew it we were on the flight to Oz..., we really loved New Zealand and staying at Jim and Rosarie's made it just fantastic, thanks again guys, New Zealand, done tick Si claro!!!!!!!

Using a Roth IRA as a backup-emergency fund
Use a Roth IRA as both an emergency fund and retirement savings? ["Roth IRA can be a backup emergency fund," Business, Sept. 8.]
That is unwise. Folks who take that advice are likely to liquidate investments when the market is down to fix the car.
That will lead to disappointment. Disappointment will lead to an abandoned retirement plan. Sure, you could leave enough of the Roth IRA in cash to cover emergencies, but that is no solution.
In the long run, everyone needs a separate emergency fund in addition to a retirement plan that is invested for long-term growth.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan athletics director Bill Martin has announced the U-M men's basketball program will honor former U-M All-American Phil Hubbard and retire his jersey, No. 35, in a halftime ceremony during the Wolverines' Jan. 11 home game against Indiana.
Hubbard's 389 rebounds as a sophomore in 1976-77 stand as U-M's one-season record.
"We are extremely proud to recognize the accomplishments of former Wolverine Phil Hubbard," said Martin. "Phil brought desire, dedication, leadership and pride to the Maize and Blue jersey every time he put it on. With great pride we salute him by hanging his No. 35 jersey from the rafters of Crisler Arena alongside Cazzie's and Rudy's."
"We are pleased to recognize Phil Hubbard and what he has meant to our program's celebrated past," said U-M head coach Tommy Amaker. "His successes as a Wolverine player and in his professional life are truly something to be proud of and something to be honored."
In his three seasons on the court for the Wolverines (1975-79), Hubbard averaged 16.5 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. He totaled 1,455 points and 979 rebounds, which currently rank 14th and fourth, respectively, in school history. During his freshman season, he helped the Wolverines reach the 1976 Final Four and the national championship game, in which U-M fell to league rival Indiana. The following season, he helped the Wolverines win the 1977 Big Ten championship outright and advance to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. After leading the team in scoring and rebounding, he earned All-America honors.
A knee injury suffered at the World University Games in 1977 caused Hubbard to miss the 1977-78 season, but he returned the following year, captaining the Wolverines to a sixth-place conference finish. Forgoing his final year of eligibility, Hubbard entered the 1979 NBA Draft and was selected 15th overall by the Detroit Pistons.
Hubbard spent his first two full seasons in Detroit before being traded to Cleveland in 1982. After two seasons in Detroit, Hubbard spent the remainder of his 10-year NBA career with the Cavaliers, helping Cleveland reach the playoffs twice. He retired after the 1988-89 season, having averaged 10.9 points per game and 5.3 rebounds throughout his NBA career.
In 1993, Hubbard returned to the NBA, working in the New York Knicks' front office for five years before beginning his coaching career as an assistant with the Atlanta Hawks under Lenny Wilkens in the 1997-98 season. After three seasons, Hubbard moved to California to serve as an assistant with the Golden State Warriors, before heading to his current position as an assistant coach the Washington Wizards in 2003.
The Wolverines' game against the Hoosiers is scheduled for a 4:30 p.m. tipoff and will be aired on CBS.

The weather getting better and another season of rock hunting is unfolding. I've updated my fluorescent mineral page.
Good Hunting
The weather getting better and another season of rock hunting is unfolding. I've updated my fluorescent mineral page.
Good Hunting
****o All
I spend alot of time digging through old stone fences and rock piles at my parents whenever I go home and I might have something that will interest someone out there.
I have a one of a kind sedimentary rock with fossils in it that has been uniquely split due to frost action to form what I call a puzzle rock. You can disassemble this rock and reassemble it like a puzzle. The rock is essentially square measuring 11-12 inches and is about 8 inches tall. It has 12 pieces and when it is assembled the pieces fit so well that it is difficult to tell it even comes apart. I will take pictures and email or post them somewhere if there is any interest in a rock of this type.
I offically started "rock hunting" at the age of 25 ( when i was growing up i had a incurable habit of puicking up odd looking rocks ).
after i had a accident with a farm tractor
i needed a a way to excercise and walking
creeks and rivers seemed to be a reasonable way to get back to rock hunting .
i look mainly for arrowheads and other indian artifacts as geodes are quite scarce in s.c. Iowa, though i do stumble across once in a great while .
these days i take my 2 boys and the wife
out on weekends to the river and rock hunt while they are busy splashing around in the water,occasionally they catch me off guard
and splash me .
Hi Zeke
I can't think of a better way to enjoy the heat of summer.
My son was bored and decided he wanted to go prospecting with his dad. That was quite a shock, so I loaded up the ultraviolet lamp and we headed out the door to Casper Mountain. It's just about 15 minutes from home.
Besides having a blast, we found some very unusual material. You can see some photos of the rocks and read about our adventure at:
I hope everyone is cooling their heals during the hot weather. There will be time enough to lift those supers when the weather is cooler. I'll bet a few other bee/rock wranglers have found a few buried treasures. :> )
When I was a boy, I dreamed of walking down the creeks around Keokuck Iowa and finding lots of geodes, berries, etc.

I hope your eyes aren't itching too bad this morning. You should always wear safety glasses when using the high power UV light. Get the glasses that block UV so you don't end up with sunburns on your eyeballs. And it's a good idea to either were gloves or sunblock on your hands because you will constantly be holding rocks close to the light.
Also, you may need to roll the window down to spotlight with the UV from the car. Newer auto glass is designed to block UV light.
Where exactly did you say this spot you found on Casper Mountain was?
All borosilicate glass blocks UV. Only fused quartz in transparent to UV. I assure you cars never had that in them. Each windows would be a couple of thousand. Safety glasses made of lexan work good to shield your eyes from UV too. Cost about 10 bucks for good ones.
I never thought of shining the light out the open window window! I would probably be worse than a drunk driver :> )
"All borosilicate glass blocks UV"
I'm trying to look up the UV properties of auto glass and all I find are adds for films to block the UV coming through the windows.
I finally found a transmission curve for borosilicate glass and you were right. The short wave UV below 300nm is almost completely blocked. However, the long wave UV is passed just as well as visible light. That explains why glass will block UV and need UV blocking films at the same time.
While browsing the web I came across a 100 watt UV spotlight. I may need to see about mounting one of these on a remote control base on top of the car.
Yeah, regular glass does allow some, but you will notice that it filters it all to some extent. Films are nice but over rated, it's the short (read high energy) wavelengths that you are most concerned about anyhow. This is starting to sound like a science forum.
I got out my UV lamp and did a little more prospecting. You can read about it at:

Hi Guys,
I revamped my fluorescent pages. They now include animated sequences showing the minerals transitioning from daylight to ultraviolet light.
You can see them at:
Prospecting with my UV lamp has opened up all kinds of opportunities as a completely new dimension has been added to my collecting. Areas I had previously scouted out and found rather worthless have a whole new value.
Hoping everyone has got a lot of rock kicking time in before the cold freezes them down :> )

Hi Ox,
I don't think so. The only way to really know is to get a lamp and check it out.
Hi Guys,
Earl W. sent me a beautiful piece of fluorescent selenite from Mexico. I've added it and some other rocks to my web pages at:
It's on the North American Minerals page.

Hey Dennis, you are getting a real nice collection of UV mineraals. I get a little more excited about them each time I check your posts. I will see what else I can dig up for you.
Have a great week

Hi Guys,
I added some daylight to uv animations on the Casper Mountain pages.
Also, I checked these pages using Mozilla and they looked ok. But under IE they were awful. So I've done a little cleanup there as well. I switched to Mozilla to avoid some security problems but didn't think they would handle image files much differently. Wrong :> )
If a graphic looks ok in IE it seems to be ok in Mozilla.
Well, my stomping grounds are snowed under for another year. So I'd better make sure there's a nice glow in the wood stove.
Dear Dennis,
My mom looks for rocks all the time in freshly plowed fields and is a great rock hound. I guarantee she has over ten thousand rocks. Most of them are Indian artifacts of some kind. And if there not that than there very magnificent in some way.
Hi Tyobu,
I've found the only real value a rock has is the value someone puts on it. It has no real value of its own. I learned that fact when collecting rocks with my own children, when they were very young.
After awhile, the rocks became representative of the experience much like a photograph or journal entry might be. And to me, they became an extension of the person itself, their tastes, appreciation of form, texture, color and uniqueness.
Very valuable indeed, they are! Happy hunting with your mother.
Hi Guys,
I've just added a few more shots of another specimen to my fluorescent rock web page.

Phil Everly, one half of the rock and country duo the Everly Brothers, has died Jan. 3, in California at the age of 74.
He was born on January 19, 1939 in Chicago, Illinois. Don and Phil father, Ike Everly, was a musician and had a show on KMA and KFNF in Shenandoah, Iowa, in the 1940s, with his wife Margaret and two young sons. Singing on the show gave the brothers their first exposure to the music industry. The family sang together and lived and traveled in the area singing as the Everly Family.

M. Brady, M.D. (a PAO patient of Dr. Diab as a medical student, now a physician)
What is a PAO?
The hip is a ball (the head of femur, or thigh bone) and socket (acetabulum, which is formed by the pelvis). A PAO is an operation to correct deformity of the hip, in which the acetabulum does not cover the head of femur properly. In this situation, the force across the hip joint produced by body weight during standing, walking and running is not evenly distributed and becomes concentrated abnormally. This wears away the cartilage that lines the hip joint, resulting in osteo-arthritis. Osteo-arthritis refers to degeneration of a joint such that a patient experiences pain, then stiffness then ultimately inability ot use the joint at all.
The most common cause of deformity of the hip is hip dysplasia. There are other causes, such as Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease. In a PAO, bone (osteo-) is cut (-tomy) around (peri-) the socket (-acetabular) in order to put it in a better position to cover the head of the femur. The most common type of PAO is the type developed in Berne, Switzerland (hence the name Bernese PAO) 1. The PAO is a joint-preserving operation, by contrast with a hip arthroplasty, which replaces the hip with a metal and plastic joint. The PAO is much better for a teenager or young adult (< 50 years of age) than a hip replacement2.
Considerations before operation.
In addition to the physical examination, the surgeon will use imaging studies as part of the evaluation. These include X-rays, and variably computed tomography (CT) as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The most important factors determining the long term outcomes (how well you do) after a PAO are the severity and type of the hip deformity, as well as the degree of osteoarthritis. Osteo-arthritis may be assessed on X-rays (for example narrowing of the joint) and/or MRI (for example a tear in the labrum, which is the cartilage rim of the acetabulum). The best results are in patients who have the least osteo-arthritis. Some patients may have too much osteo-arthritis to benefit from PAO2. For patients who need a PAO on both hips, the time between operations will depend on recovery from the first surgery, but typically is 6-12 months. The second side always is easier than the first, because you know what to expect and are less anxious.
You will have a pre-operative visit with the surgeon, typically the week before operation, to go over everything again and to sign the consent forms for operation and blood transfusion. You will be given an opportunity to donate blood ahead of the operation, or ask designated donors to do so on your behalf.
What does the surgeon do during a PAO?
The acetabulum is repositioned so that it covers or fits the head of femur properly – "putting the hat on top of the head," as my doctor says.
A single oblique incision is made on the front of the hip, starting above the bony prominence of the hip and ending in the groin crease. Muscles, blood vessels, and nerves are retracted to expose the joint. The joint may be opened for inspection of the labrum. If the labrum is torn, it may be repaired (a clean tear) or trimmed (an irregular or degenerative tear). The hip joint is then repaired and closed. The physician will use a bone-cutting tool called an osteotome (resembles a chisel for wood work) to make a series of cuts around (peri-) the acetabulum. The acetabulum, now freed from the rest of the pelvis, is rotated over the head of femur to normalize as much as possible the coverage of the head of femur and thereby correct the weight-bearing load of the joint. Long screws are inserted to hold the acetabulum in place while it heals. Over the next 3-6 months, the acetabulum heals in its new place. Sometimes, if the acetabulum has to be moved a long distance (in cases of severe hip deformity), bone graft is applied to some of the cut surfaces to enhance healing. The surgical technique of the PAO is continually evolving and each surgeon may practice slight variations on the surgical procedure. Specifics of the operation, such as the length of the incision, the number of screws inserted, whether or not the screws are removed, and post-operative care, will depend on the surgeon.
What can I expect on surgery day?
When you arrive at the hospital, you will be taken to a pre-operative room on the surgery floor. The anæsthesiology team will discuss anæsthesia options with you. An IV will be started and you may be given medication to reduce your anxiety before being taken into the operating room. Some patients are candidates for epidural anæsthesia, which bathes the nerves of the pelvis and lower limbs directly with pain and numbing medication. An epidural anæsthetic is administered under general anesthesia. You probably will not remember falling asleep because the anæsthesiologist gives you drugs that make you forget (so you are less traumatized by the experience!). Before the surgeon begins, a nurse will insert a catheter into the bladder, which will remain for a few days after the operation. In this way, you won't have to get up to urinate, which is a big help as you will be very sore for the first couple of days. The operation lasts about 4-6 hours. During the operation, your vital signs will be continually monitored. If too much blood is lost, you will receive a transfusion.
When you wake from the operation, you should not be in excessive pain because of the medicine being administered through the IV and/or epidural. The anæsthesiology team will continually check on your pain and nausea level to make you comfortable. Patients are monitored for a few hours in the recovery unit before being taken to a hospital room.
What will recovery be like during my hospital stay?
Patients stay in the hospital for about 3-5 days. Patients experience variable amounts of post-operative nausea, in large part because of the pain medications they take. Pain management is monitored by the anæsthesiology team during your hospital stay. In the first 2-3 days, you will have a patient-controlled anæsthesia device, in which you can self-administer extra medicine into the epidural or IV line by clicking a button. After that, you will be switched to pain medications that you take by mouth. No matter how well your pain is controlled, your hip still may hurt. The hip, buttock, entire thigh, groin and foot may be swollen and bruised, sometimes for a few weeks.
The surgeon will check your nerves by asking you to move your leg in certain directions, and your blood flow by checking pulses in your leg and how swollen you are. You will be helped out of bed on the first post-operative day with the assistance of a physical therapist. This is important for many reasons.
- Movement pumps blood through the veins in your legs, thereby reducing the risk of a blood clot (which can be very dangerous).
- Movement helps you move your bowels, which will be slowed not only by inactivity but also by pain medications. Constipation is very uncomfortable when you are in pain after a big operation.
- Movement will help your lungs inflate more completely, reducing the risk of pneumonia.
- Movement prevents bed sores.
You will use a walker and/or crutches, and will be taught how to place your foot on the ground, relax your muscles, but not put any weight through you leg on the operated side.
Your blood level will be checked daily: if your blood pressure gets too low or if the blood levels (hæmoglobin and hæmatocrit) dip below safe levels, you may receive a transfusion. By the third day after operation, IV pain medications will be off and the catheter in your bladder will be removed. At this point, you will use a bed-side commode or a bed-pan. It may take a day or so to regain full control of your bladder muscles. You may be given a laxative and stool softener to help reduce constipation.
Physical and occupational therapists will visit each day to teach the safest way to get in and out of bed and to use walking aids. Learning how to use the toilet, sit, and stand with pain and restrictions feels unnatural and takes time getting used to. The therapists will also assist in preparation for going home. The occupational therapists will arrange for equipment you can bring home – such as walker, crutches, bed-side commode, and possibly a wheelchair. If there are stairs at your home, the physical therapists will teach you the correct way to use stairs with crutches.
You will be discharged from the hospital to home when
- You are able to urinate by yourself after the catheter in your bladder is removed.
- You are comfortable on oral pain medications.
- You are able to move around independently, with assistive devices and the obvious restrictions that you will be taught.
- Your surgeon obtains X-rays of your pelvis to make sure that nothing has shifted after you have been mobilized and body-weight forces have been applied to your hip.
What will recovery be like when I go home?
Patients cannot bear weight on the operated side for 6-8 weeks after operation. The recovery period sounds overwhelming, especially for the active parent or student, but it can be done. Reading this document in advance will help you make the proper accommodations so that the recovery is smoother and you can return to your normal routine sooner.
It is important that patients arrange a support system with friends and family for the recovery period. Some patients may have access to more assistance than others, but during the first few weeks of recovery, it will be difficult to take care of yourself – getting up from a lying or sitting position, eating, using the bathroom, and bathing are activities with which you will need help. Sleeping positions may also take some getting used to – at first you will only be able to sleep on your back. After a few weeks (when pain subsides), you may be able to roll onto your unoperated side. Having several different sized pillows for positioning is helpful.
Pain will be managed as needed with prescription pain medication. During each recovery milestone, such as moving from a walker to crutches, physical therapy, and beginning to bear weight again, it may be necessary to adjust medication intake. Since narcotic pain medications cause constipation, a stool softener and/or laxative pills may be taken while using the medication. Urinating can also be difficult for several days after operation due to internal swelling. Burning sensation during urination or unexpected voiding may occur. A bed-side commode or an elevated toilet seat will make using the bath-room much easier.
You will see your surgeon the week after operation. The incision cannot get wet until then, when your surgeon will inspect it to make sure it is dry and healing well. If the wound is inflamed or is draining fluid, it may be infected and the surgeon will act accordingly (wound infection after such an operation is rare). Until then, you can get creative as far as how to bathe – using wash-cloths or covering the incision well and using a shower hose while sitting on a shower chair are options. After the dressing is removed, you may choose to crutch into a shower and stand, carefully balancing your weight on the unoperated leg.
Patients will graduate from a walker to crutches when the pain of swinging the pelvis subsides. It is important to get up and walk around several times each day to maintain strength in both legs. Patients' arms and wrists may hurt because they are not accustomed to using walking aids. The foot on the unoperated side of the body that bears all the weight may also cramp and be sore from overuse. Strengthening arms and legs in the months before operation can make recovery much easier. The operated leg will weaken from lack of use, so moving around and trying to be active will make walking on that leg easier later. For the first 6-8 weeks after operation, you will focus on moving your hip so that you don't become stiff – you will need someone to help you with this, as the pain may inhibit you from doing this on your own.
You may notice other changes in your hip, such as clicking and popping of the hip for weeks after operation as the muscles and other tissues around the joint which were dissected during the operation heal. A frequent consequence of operation is the nerve that provides sensation to the skin of the front of the thigh goes to sleep because it is in the way and gets squeezed as it is retracted for most of the operation (several hours). You may notice numbness or uncomfortable sensation here when touched, but this typically resolves within about 2 years.
Slowly, you will regain strength and range of motion in the operated leg. At 6-8 weeks after operation, you will have an X-ray and see the surgeon, who will decide if your bone has healed enough to begin weight bearing on the operated side. You should wean yourself off pain medications so that you are not taking any by this visit. You will be advised to increase motion exercises for your hip, as well as to begin strengthening exercises (especially of your quadriceps, hip flexor and hip abductors), often with the assistance of a physiotherapist.
The time it takes to return to a work or school routine will vary from patient to patient. The earliest is 4-6 weeks after operation for those with a desk job or who plan to attend class. You can not drive until you can move your hip independently and quickly, and until you can apply force through your leg normally. This is necessary not to drive a car in a straight line, but to be prepared if you need to perform an emergency manœuvre. This takes about 12 weeks after operation.
Through physical therapy and becoming active again, you will re-learn how to walk on the operated leg. It takes months after surgery to regain strength and a normal way of walking. Initially, you will waddle toward the operated side as you walk. Don't let this get you down: it is the result of weakness of the hip abductor muscles (the physiotherapist will teach you about this), and it will go away. You may use one crutch or a cane until you can walk without an aid, which happens by the three month mark for most patients.
A final note. The PAO does not change the size of the birth canal, so women are able to carry a pregnancy normally and to deliver vaginally. If you plan to become pregnant, you may start trying at 12 weeks after operation. This is the basic follow up time, during which X-rays are essential to the post-operative assessment (and you can not risk fœtal exposure to radiation from X-rays). Your obstetrician/gynecologist should be made aware of your condition.
Ask your surgeon to put you in contact with patients who have undergone a PAO and are willing to share their experience with you. A PAO is a big operation, and talking to others ahead of time will give you important information to help ease the anxiety that you may feel.

What the Detroit Auto Show does and does not show
There are composites seen and unseen at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, and hints about what the next few years might bring.
Ford GT.
Walking the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS; aka, the Detroit Auto Show) last week in Detroit, MI, US, it was not difficult to get excited about the automotive industry — or, as some automakers are calling it, the mobility industry. The bright lights, loud music, big crowds, attractive concept cars and the latest and greatest production vehicles ranging from two-seater all-electrics to gargantuan pickups concentrated the automotive industry's energy to convey a distinct sense of optimism about where this market is headed.

It was also not difficult, walking the show, to detect the influence of composites, for any automaker that uses carbon fiber on a visible part apparently is duty-bound — very likely for aesthetic and marketing reasons — to make sure that the tell-tale black (and in one case, blue) weave is highly visible. Indeed, carbon fiber could be found in rearview mirrors, in interior trim parts, in roofs, and in the exterior trim of concept cars (see photos). And then there was the carbon fiber you could not see (or not see as easily), including in the monocoques of the BMW i8 and i3 and the Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe and Cabriolet. And probably others that I couldn't see.
Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe, with carbon fiber composite monocoque.
What struck me, looking at all of the 2016 model year vehicles at the show, was that I was seeing automotive technology that is, for the most part, about two years old. That is, the design cycle of the automotive industry forces automotive OEMs to work ahead of itself, which means that much of the material technology on the floor in Detroit was conceived of in 2013-2014. So, for all of the talk of late about the incursion of composites into automotive structures, it will likely be a year or two before we see more vehicles with more composites in more structural applications.
Carbon fiber in Mercedes Benz sideview mirror.
Then again, it's likely that whatever we see of composites in 2018 at the NAIAS will look a lot like it did in 2016, with visible carbon fiber emphasized, and all of the other carbon fiber (likely a lot more of it) out of direct sight. And this, I suppose, is the point. Composites, to have a seat at the table, must perform with adaptability, flexibility and speed. If, in fact, automakers are becoming "material agnostic," then all of the materials at their disposal must be adaptable to a variety of designs and applications. The consumer, after all, is buying a vehicle to meet their transportation needs, regardless of material.
So, we'll check in with the NAIAS from time to time for a holistic view of how the automotive world is evolving, but for composites professionals like you, we'll stay focused on those structures that are a little harder to see.

New review still expected for Indiana school grades
The speaker of the Indiana House says he expects legislators will order a review of the state's A-F grading scale for individual schools.
Differing bills that would have done so failed to advance by House and Senate deadlines this week, but Republican Speaker Brian Bosma says lawmakers will take up the issue again this legislative session.
Bosma says he believes most legislators believe the state Board of Education needs to make changes to the A-F grading system that was first used in 2011.
Many local school officials have complained about the grading system, and Democratic state schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz made replacing it a top campaign issue last year.
The A-F scale was backed by former Superintendent Tony Bennett despite opposition from Indiana Chamber of Commerce and others.

Press Review: Led Zeppelin's British rock quartet shows sell-out at Madison Square Gardens
NEW YORK — Even though millions of young people have managed to acquire it, Led Zeppelin remains an acquired taste. The British rock quartet, which this week opened a run of six long-since sold- out shows at Madison Square Gardens, makes a monstrously loud, deliberately abrasive kind of music far removed not only from the sweet rustlings of classical music, jazz and Tin Pan Alley, but even from the tuneful, rhythmically enlivening rock songs of the 1960s.
That said, this was the best Led Zeppelin show this observer has ever heard, and that includes the sound track from the group's recent concert film. It was certainly superior to the 1975 Garden shows, the last the band had given in New York. That time the guitarist, Jimmy Page, had an injured finger. Since then Led Zeppelin has been off the road, waiting for the singer, Robert Plant, to recover from first an auto accident and then a throat infection.
This tour amounts to a re-assertion of the band's preeminence in the fickle youth market of America, and on its own terms the opening show was certainly a triumphant reassertion. It lasted three hours and included some 18 songs, depending on how you count — a Led Zeppelin "song" is often an excuse for a meandering instrumental that sucks in all sorts of extraneous material as it goes along and sometimes segues subtly into something altogether different.
The repertory included much that was predictable, from "The Song Remains the Same" to "Stairway to Heaven" by way of "In My Time of Dying" (dedicated somewhat wickedly to Queen Elizabeth n and her Silver Jubilee): "The Battle of Evermore" (was also dedicated to the British monarch). "No Quarter," "Kashmir," "Achilles Last Stand" and others, But there was also an acoustic set that lightened the heavy-metal load.
The mood of the Garden concert, offstage and on, seemed fresher and less hostile than some Led Zeppelin concerts and crowds of yore. The audience waited more or less docilely for 70 minutes past the scheduled starting time before the band appeared. When it did so, the mood of the musicians was good-natured and almost puckish. And Plant laudably and earnestly attempted to discourage the hurling of firecrackers and cherry bombs.
Quite apart from its sheer massiveness and its mood, this was a first-class Led Zeppelin performance on several objective criteria. Plant's voice sounded fresh throughout, but especially during the acoustic portion, in "Going to California." And it was aided by a whole battery of echo and filter effects.
Similarly Page's guitar playing, always concerned with coloristic exploration was positively kaleidoscopic in that respect. And his work along with everybody else's was projected forcefully and clearly by the sound system. The other two held up their ends, too. (J. Rockwell, 7.2.77)

Explosion at Concert
I was at this show at age 17. I remember seeing the lit fuse spinning thru the air as it was thrown onto the stage near Page's guitar right before an encore. It exploded as he reached for his guitar. He walked off the stage holding his hand. After that the lights went on and Robert Plant was saying something like they were not coming back to New York anymore and everyone booed. Then he asked if Jimmy was OK and then said "Jimmy wants to play." Then the crowd roared. Jimmy came out with his right hand wrapped in a bandaged as he held the pick. I remember freaking out over the whole thing. It was crazy...MSG was out of control with the dumb fireworks.

They subscribe to the London bus theory at International Sports Management and their oldest client is confident of proving here this week that the long wait is often followed by a rapid sequence of arrivals. Darren Clarke hung on for 20 years to win the Open Championship, but he's actually been competing in the Irish Open for 21 years without success.
It was as an amateur in 1990 that the Northern Irishman made his maiden European Tour appearance at Portmarnock, making the cut before finishing 50th. "I've been close on a number of occasions and never quite got the job done – a bit like in the Open," said Clarke, here in Co Kerry yesterday.
ISM is on a roll, with Clarke making it three majors in a row for the agency run by Chubby Chandler. ISM waited 20 years for their first major, until Louis Oosthuizen won last year's Open. Now Clarke's Claret Jug made it four from five. "It would be a hell of an achievement – a dream come true – to have the Open and Irish Open trophies on display back at home," said Clarke who dismissed weekend reports that he was "almost broke" before the Sandwich victory. "To do the double would be unbelievable."
Not that he would be the first. At Killarney in 1992 Nick Faldo had the second of three successive victories in the Irish Open and a month later captured his third Open title in six years, while four years ago at Adare Manor Padraig Harrington ended a 25-year wait for a home winner and two months later triumphed at Carnoustie for the first of his three major titles.
Clarke does already have a victory on Irish soil. That was the European Open at The K Club near Dublin 10 years ago. And in between Harrington's hat-trick and Clarke's success were the back-to-back US Open victories of Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy.
All four compete this week, prompting Clarke to say the scenes "could be like nothing we've seen before". Despite Irish golf being on an unprecedented high, prize-money has been cut in half to £1.32m following the withdrawal of telecommunications company 3, title sponsors the previous three years.
But the event's history is almost assured, with the Stormont Government pledging financial support to take the Irish Open to Royal Portrush in the north and a group of southerners, including J P McManus, ready to bankroll the tournament.

Check out FontDrop!
Experience yourself, more details soon …
The font family supports a wide range of the latin languages, greek and cyrillic.
The first public appearance of the font was at this web project.
More preview on the ¿©hara¢ter(s)! website.
¿©hara¢ter(s)! – The special character web app.
The ¿©hara¢ter(s)! website comes with a handful features: It provides shortcodes for Apple, Windows, Linux and HTML entities. The most important characters are displayed in a text environment, showing their common usage. An overview page shows all of them.
On the overview page, with Flash installed on your desktop computer, a single mouse click on each character will copy the character to your clipboard, so it can be easily pasted in any document. The whole page can be displayed with several different typefaces, so it also works as a little type specimen. Switch between typeface on top of the page. Finally, all choices—platform and typeface—are stored in the url, so preferences can be bookmarked for the next visit.
The background: For many years I had a mouse pad from MetaDesign on my desk, which provided me with the most important hotkeys for correct quotations marks or the right dash and all that stuff. When I started working as a freelance designer in different agencies and places I usually didn't carried it with me, but i missed it in my every day work. So the idea for a webpage was born. It started as a simple HTML website nad step by step more features were added. It finaly became the digital version of this mouse pad.
¿©hara¢ter(s)! – The special character web app.

Babetta features 5 weights and a special ›Neon‹ version.
The initial inspiration for Babetta was an illuminated vintage shop sign—that of a famous bookstore in Berlin called ›Karl-Marx-Buchhandlung‹ that dates back to the days of East Germany. During the course of the design process, this slightly shabby historical original was kissed by an Italian Art Deco beauty and has blossomed into a new typeface with its own special charm. The aim was not to preserve the original lettering, but to use it as a starting point for typographical exploration.For ›Neon‹ there are 3 styles with exactly the same metrics, so it is easily possible to apply different colors to the layers.There is a round alternative version of ›E‹, accessible by the OpenType feature Stylistic set 01.Babetta contains alternative versions for scandinavian diacritics and german umlauts. This feature is reachable by Stylistic set 03 in InDesign or the glyphs menu.The expressive wavy ›S‹ is hidden in the Stylistic set 02—there is also a version for ›SS‹. The fonts contain a bunch of decorative ligatures. These can be accessed by the Discretionary ligatures feature.Arrow feature: The fonts make it easy to create arrows with the keyboard. For an arrow to the right just type ->, arrow to the left is <-, arrow up is -^ and arrow down ^-. In the same manner it is easy to get a real copyright sign (C) or registered sign (R). This works with Discretionary ligatures feature, which must be switched on in the Adobe applications.A set of flower icons in every font is accessible via the glyph palette in InDesign.The fonts come with a large set of diacritic signs and supporting a wide range of latin languages.

Also check out the webfont specimen!
The concept for PTL Attention goes back to the days of my thesis »Type Attack!«. From the beginning the idea was not only to have a display stencil type like PTL Attack, but also to create a more serious companion.
There weren't any direct influences on the design itself, but of course the concepts of the sans-serif type history was in my mind, and there was a few typefaces I consulted from time to time, like Gill Sans, Interstate or Emigre's Base.
There are alternative glyphs for ›f‹ and ›t‹ in the font that give the typeface a more neutral impression. There is also an alternate for ›Å‹ with the ring connected to the letter for display use. Access thes alternates through the OpenType feature Stylistic Set 01 or Stylistc Alternates.
The whole Attention family comes with Small Caps.
Standard Ligatures as ›fi‹ or ›ffi‹ and Discretionary Ligatures as ›Th‹ or ›ti‹ .
It containes a large set of figues, default are Proportional Figures. With OpenType features you also have acess to Old Style Figues, Tabular Figures and Old Style Tabular Figures. The Fraction Feature allows to build every fraction you need.
Arrows and symbols. The different arrow sets can be reached with OpenType Stylistic Sets 01–04.
To handle the kerning with a big amount of glyphs that are present in the fonts I used the iKern service of Igino Marini.
Available at primetype and FontShop and MyFonts.

The family contains three weights, regular, medium and bold and a later added rough version.
PTL Attack Rough is the dirty pendant of PTL Attack. Stencils were made from the original font and the sprayed letters had been digitized again.
PTL Attack Rough comes with two sets of the basic characters. These two versions of each letter alternate with the help of the OpenType feature Discretionary Ligatures and give the typeface a more lively appearance.
The font also contains a large set of diacritical characters—all have individual shapes.
One of the questions while working on that font was, what the maximum amount of bezier points in one glyph might be. I had something around 300 in my mind. In the end the number of points didn't seem to be a problem, but rather the curves. We had to kill all curves to get proper rendering results.
PTL Attack is available at primetype and at MyFonts & FontShop.

[24 February 2014]
PopMatters Associate Music Editor
Albums of just saxophone and drums are, understandably, difficult to approach. How can just two individuals, one of them behind a kit, keep instrumental music fresh and interesting over the course of 54 minutes? Well, improvisation is all about surrendering yourself to the moment so that you may collaborate with it. Saxophonist Dave Rempis and drummer Tim Daisy have been kicking the can with Chicago vanguards like Ken Vandermark for so long that it's funny to think of a time when they might have been novices at improvisation. Second Spring isn't even their first outing together.
Daisy uses every inch of his kit as well as every stick and mallet in his bag, maximizing the expressive aspects of the drums. Rempis, too, can conjure some mighty brave sounds from his axe as he does in "Numbers Lost". There was once a saxophonist who went by the nickname Bird, but Rempis does sounds like an honest-to-god bird on this track. Simultaneously abstract and expressive, Second Spring is worth the whirlwind.
