In early December of 2005, the author (don't you love it when you get to talk about yourself in the third person and you're not even a famous actor or NBA star?) and his wife, along with their dog and cat, packed up their 21st century jalopy, a black Audi Quattro with a luggage carrier on top, and left Portland, Oregon, for San Miguel de Allende, three thousand miles away in the middle of Mexico, where they knew no one and could barely speak the language. Things fell apart almost from the beginning. The house they rented was as cold as a restaurant's freezer. Their furniture took longer than expected to arrive. They couldn't even get copies of their house keys made. They unintentionally filled their house with smoke and just as unintentionally knocked out the power to their entire neighborhood. In other words, they were clueless. Nobody Knows the Spanish I Speak is their story.

Great news! Two of my family-friendly full length screenplays, Two Weeks in Roswell and Team Poodle, were optioned recently by a Hollywood production company. Keep your fingers and eyes crossed.
I'm pleased to tell you about the food memoir Kosher Sutra by Arlene Krasner. It's a true story that includes everything from knishes to chimpanzees to recipes. And I have a cameo role in the book (hint: I'm not one of the chimps). I encourage you to visit Amazon to find out more about her book. And don't forget to check out Arlene's blog, The Knish Chronicles: www.arlenekrasner.wordpress.com
My script Two Weeks in Roswell, a Sci-Fi Comedy, was selected as a finalist in the 2013 StoryPros Contest. This means my script placed in the top 5% of scripts entered.
It's a story about what happens when an alien Dad takes his family on a vacation to planet Earth and his son is kidnapped by tabloid journalists. As a result, the rest of the family must leave the safety of their tour and work together to rescue the kid. It's National Lampoon's Vacation meets E.T. In other words, the aliens have landed and they're on vacation. Click here to read the first 12 pages of the script.
I just learned my fish-out-of-water comedy, Mañana, is a quarter-finalist in the prestigious Page International Screenwriting Contest for 2013. This means it is ranked in the top 10% of scripts submitted.
I consider myself extremely fortunate to have hired Ray Rhamey as my book designer (he also did Arlene's book). Not only are we from the same tribe (that is, he's also a cartoonist), but his keen eye and creative mind took the rough clay, make that mud, of my manuscript and turned it into a sparkling gem.

CPI, Europe's Leading Book Printer, Completes HP T300 Web Press Purchase
"The Quantum solution is particularly well adapted for short- and medium-run printing – first prints as well as re-prints – which is an ever-growing area of demand from publishers," said Pierre-François Catté, chairman of CPI's executive board. "The purchase of the HP T300 press helps us be the most complete book publishing resource with the flexibility to serve our clients with print runs from one to one million copies."
In November 2009, CPI produced its first mass-market paperback book printed entirely with digital presses – a 2,000-copy run of Nancy Farmer's "Au Pays des Pommes d'Argent" printed using the HP T300.
HP's technology makes a book run of this length affordable, enabling publishers to launch more new titles and to adjust their reprints more precisely. With its combination of digital, offset and Cameron presses, CPI offers virtually any run length of book on a wide variety of uncoated papers – a point of differentiation that the company now markets to the more than 2,000 publishers it serves.
Streamlined production, lower costs and more revenue opportunities
CPI's HP T300 Inkjet Web Press delivers high productivity at a breakthrough cost. It helps print service providers (PSPs) streamline business operations, lower production costs and boost revenue opportunities on a range of applications, including book publishing, direct mail, transactional printing(1) and newspapers. The press's economic benefits include the ability to purchase consumables as needed without click charges.
With the HP T300, print service providers can drive profitable growth by offering addressable 1,200 x 600 dots per inch imaging in a speed and size combination that can produce 2,400 A4-size pages per minute. In addition, the press delivers image quality and durability on any low-cost, uncoated paper, as well as on a range of coated media.
The HP T300 Inkjet Web Press also bolsters HP's efforts to target a $3 billion digital print market opportunity for publishing, and a $13 billion market opportunity for direct mail, transactional and transpromotional printing, for 2010.(2)

Beck Calls NGOs "Nasty Little Organizations" And Implicates Them In His Conspiracy Theory About A New World Order
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From the February 18 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:
Loading the player reg...
BECK: There's a couple of things that you need to know about. First of all, the White House has issued an executive order. It came out right before Christmas. We just found it. The executive order -- the White House Council for Community Solutions.
Now, I want you to understand why I believe the community organizing thing must never be mocked again. What is happening around the world is community organizing.
And if you look at it -- last night's TV show -- I started with the chalkboard, and I said, "There are three directions the world is being pushed." The first one -- and I had the U.N. flag -- is a New World Order based on the collective of nations.
And you can say it's through the United Nations, or you can say it's through George Soros, who wants a borderless world which is basically run though, I don't know, the United Nations, or -- who knows?
But it's called an open society. That is not just a phrase, that it's like, "Oh, we all want an open society." No, no, no. This is an actual system of government. It's like a republic. This is an open society. That's what it's called.
And that would put under a banner of like the United Nations. They are well funded. They have many politicians in their pocket. They have many constitutions that are already recognizing the United Nations as a world power.
You have what are called NGOs. NGOs are these really nasty little organizations, non-government organizations, non-governmental organizations. And that is like, you know -- just pulling something out of the air -- Hezbollah can say, "I want to become a nongovernmental organization."
And they have all their little special interests, and they actually sit in place for the government of wherever they're from in meetings for the United Nations, and they work all of their magic. Well funded and organized to have one-world government under the United Nations flag.

I have had crazy dreams two nights in a row.
Monday night:
I was a little girl again and I was kidnapped. I was always locked in one room and years passed. after i grow up, one of the kidnappers brings in some dude to look after me because they have to leave for some business. The guy tells me they plan to sell me to the highest bidder. He wants to save me. A bunch of stuff happens and I end up falling in love with him. The kidnappers comes in to catch us in bed together and drag him away. the one kidnapper tries to drag me off so they can sell me but i find a knife and stab him in the throat. blood spews everywhere. i get out of the room and run down stairs to find the other kidnapper and the person who was going to buy me dead. the guy im in love with is also covered in blood. he killed them. We run out and he plans find my family.Running for our lives from corrupt cops and the kidnappers hitchmen, we see a news report that said my family had been trying to get help in finding me, but the kidnappers owned the law so they couldnt get help. my family finally got enough money to buy me, but my dad was killed when he came to buy me. I just started to cry and pushed the guy away. I ran outside to a cliff and he followed. I told him this couldnt be real and it had to be a dream. but dad cant be dead. and if i jumped off the cliff i would wake up. He started crying saying that it had to be real because he loved me so much. I told him I loved him too, and i will see him when i woke up. and i jumped. as soon as I left the cliff i woke up. i felt so said and heart broken. glad my dad is still alive and it was a dream, but i really felt like i left him behind, i hate those dreams where feeling get involved.
Tuesday night:
I needed some cash and ended up taken a job working on the Jersy Shore. i have never seen this show irl, but have seen and know of some of the characters. I hated it and the people was so annoying. Once the director gave me the camera to fit into a crawl space because everyone else was too big. They were getting sloopy drunk, having sex, and getting sick all over the place. After a while I couldnt take it anymore and went to quit. before I could, the show got cancelled and they gave me all this money to keep eveything i saw secret. i walked a way happy but scarred. The dream freaked me out, because I hope I wont have to resort to something like that to pay my bills.

This low-key Sunday wind-down on hotel King & Grove's eighth-floor rooftop bar, Upper Elm, boasts a heavily Instagrammed view of the midtown skyline and feels relatively undiscovered, despite its proximity to McCarren Park. Arrive early and you'll likely share the space with lethargic-looking out-of-towners, but soon friends and acquaintances of DJs Damon DeGraff and 77Klash show up, the rum cocktails take effect, and sporadic wining breaks out to the playlist of reggae one drops, lovers rock and dancehall. It's how to transition into the work week like a pro.

Leaders say homeless will be helped not hidden during DNC
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The homeless in Charlotte will be helped, not hidden, during the Democratic National Convention next week.
That is the message from leaders who spent the last few weeks working out plans to accommodate the homeless during the DNC.
Eyewitness News spoke with Dale Mullennix, the executive director of the Urban Ministry.
Anchor Tenikka Smith asked Mullennix about rumors that homeless people would be bused or taken to locations outside of uptown Charlotte.
"There is no plan to put them on buses and send them somewhere else. There's no plan to buy them movie tickets, museum tickets, or ball game tickets or anything to hide the homeless," Mullennix said.
Mullennix said for more than a month, he and other partners of the Mecklenburg Homeless Services Network have worked to make sure the homeless are accommodated and informed during the convention.
Uptown Charlotte, where the bulk of convention activity is focused, is also where Robert Munn and others spend their days and nights out on the street. Munn told Eyewitness News he's concerned that homeless people could be harassed.
"There is a concern about those individuals carrying backpacks," Munn said.
Mullennix said agencies that help the homeless are working to make sure they are educated about security measures and restrictions in uptown. They are also being informed about transportation changes.
By far, the biggest effort has been making sure they will have a place to stay and access to the services they need.
Mullennix said they received donations to help maintain or provide housing for individuals as well as families with children. They also have a plan in place to make sure those children will be able to catch a bus and get to school. Several shelters will expand hours and staff.
"It's nothing that delegates haven't seen in their own states in their own cities, so it's just how you manage it and control it at this particular time," Munn said.
"This is a unique situation that's going to last for a few days and were going to make a unique response to it, but every single day we're working to help people escape homelessness," Mullennix said.
So far several agencies and companies have donated around $20,000 toward the efforts to help the homeless during the DNC.

For those that do not like the hard trigger pull on these revolvers I recommend installing he J-Frame Duty/Carry Kit is the next evolution of drop in parts from ATS, Inc. Installation of this kit reduces the trigger pull weight of your centerfire J-Frame* Smith & Wesson Revolver from over 12 lbs to 9lbs. The kit is reasonably priced. They have 2 links that show how to take off old and put on new. Took me about 20 minutes.
I installed this on my 642 and it made a huge difference in not only trigger pull but also a more smoother pull.

WHAT: The Battle for the Victory Bell featuring UC and the Miami Redhawks
WHERE: 'Tis at "The Nipp" this season
CLEAT ON BALL: Around 7 p.m. (when the youngin's like it)
SERIES: Miami leads 59-48-7 (and yes, I saw one of the ties)
LAST TIME: Then #10 UC beat the Redhawks 37-13 in Oxford
Well, here we go with version #115 of the Victory Bell game which has added importance for the Bearcats as they desperately need a win to get their season on track. At 1-3, they made obvious improvements in some areas in the game against #8 Oklahoma at Paul Brown Stadium, but still came away with an "L" (despite giving the Sooners their best game thus far).
Meantime, the game's equally vital for Miami as they're trying to restore pride in their program after a horrendous 2009 that saw them go 1-11. Early on, the indications are this team is much improved as they already have more wins than the Bearcats (3-2).
Miami has extra motivation in this one as they've not clanged the Bell as their own since Mark Dantonio was coach in 2005. Since then, UC's won four straight and outside of a few cameo appearances here and there, the Victory Bell has resided in the 4th floor lobby of the Lindner Center.
From a UC perspective, the rivalry has lost its luster since the Bearcats began getting ranked and knocking off ranked teams. From a conference point of view, the rivalries with Louisville, West Virginia and Pitt are more important.
However, at 1-3, that is the alarming thing about this game. Miami (OH) also boasts Tri-State area players and bragging rights for collegiate supremacy around here matter greatly. If UC enters into this game thinking they're "above" playing a team from the MAC, they could be in line for a MAC SMACK.
Sure, as the teams have evolved, the Big East rivalries are more important nationally. But locally, the Battle for the Victory Bell has been a big deal and there's nothing worse than discounting an opponent. Honestly, was #8 Oklahoma up more to play UC or Texas the week after?
You probably sense my concern.
While some of these games have been blowouts, there have been some memorable outcomes and tight ones. From my own perspective, I was on radio for a tie, a loss on a final seconds kick-off, and back-to-back triple and double overtime thrillers.
How does this one shake out?
Clearly UC's changes on the offensive line paid benefits as did the return of Isaiah Pead vs. Oklahoma. Pead was able to ramble for 169 yards. Also, Zach Collaros was protected enough to throw for 305 yards and three touchdowns and D.J. Woods was able to snare seven passes for 171 yards and a score.
But, Pead didn't find the endzone, Collaros purely improvised two of his scoring passes and Woods should've had two visits to touchdown turf. Despite improvement, there was disappointment in the self-inflicted wounds.
Miami's defense is still young. They hung with Florida 'til the fourth quarter, but let's face it, those weren't the Tebow-led Gators. At Missouri, the Redhawks were tagged for 51 by the Tigers. Redshirt junior LB Jerrell Wedge leads in tackles, TFL and sacks and he may be on the lookout for UC's Marcus Barnett as both attended Frederick Douglass HS in Maryland. UC must also watch sophomore LB Evan Harris who has scored two defensive touchdowns this year.
NOD: With the extra preparation and the strides made vs. Oklahoma and the fact that it's a home game, you side with UC. Miami must hope for the Bearcats to struggle like Florida did in game one against them. If the Redhawks can keep within spittin' distance, it could be a game.
Miami QB Zac Dysert, a redshirt sophomore, will sling it around and keeps improving. He was 33-47 for 286 yards last year against UC and is coming off a 31-46, three touchdown performance against Kent State. He's 6-4 and 212 pounds and tends to target senior WR Jamal Rogers (8-90 vs. Kent State) and another senior Armand Robinson. His tall target is 6-4 Andy Cruse out of Turpin HS. The go-to RB is senior Thomas Merriweather, with the understudy being freshman Tracy Woods, Truthfully though, the best RB on Miami's sidelines is probably their offensive assistant, Deland McCullough who wrecked havoc here and in the MAC for years in the 90s.
UC's secondary is minus junior Dominique Battle now (ACL) so a young defensive group just gets younger and that weighs in Dysert's favor. However, JK Schaffer and Maalik Bomar continue to play inspired football at LB and Derek Wolfe and Dan Giordano have had their moments on the defensive line. I believe the Bearcats can stop the Miami run game, but the pass defense might depend on how many times they can coax Zac Dysert to throw it to a black jersey.
NOD: If Dysert throws 2-3 interceptions, that should weigh in the Bearcats favor. If UC stopped Oklahoma's DeMarco Murray, they should be able to stop Merriweather, Woods and company on the ground. The key for the Bearcats is making sure this game is no longer a game by the time the fourth quarter rolls around.
D.J. Woods still has game-breaking return skills but must lose his imaginary friend "Fumblelina". For the screaming critics, I challenge you to successfully catch a high football in the lights with 250 pounds of bad breath storming at you. Kickoff returns have been disappointing in general as Mardy Gilyard is sorely missed (as is Vidal Hazelton for that matter). Jake Rogers missed an extra-point last week which seems to be a yearly occurrence. Brian Kelly had a way of shaming Jake into success and perhaps Coach Butch Jones can push those same buttons.
The Redhawks feature KR DeMarco Paine, P Zac Murphy (Kings HS) and K Trevor Cook on special teams. Cook has been pretty accurate (9-10 FGs, 12-12 PATs). On punts, UC's Pat O'Donnell can boom them but best be on the watch for sophomore DE Austin Brown who blocked one last week that Evan Harris snagged and took to the house.
NOD: It might take all four years, but since his first year I've been predicting D.J. Woods to break a return and I'll keep standing by that. You have to go with Miami's Cook on kicking accuracy, but O'Donnell is a good 10 yards better on punts most days than Murphy. I don't feel overly confident if this gets into a late-game kicking contest (but am always open to being proved wrong).
As stated in the opening, it would be a drastic mistake for UC to look past this game toward the Big East schedule. A cocky 1-3 team is ignorant. I don't think UC's your typical 1-3 team, but if they give Miami a chance to breathe in this game, the much improved Redhawks could hang around and pester you like a summertime mosquito biting at your ankles.
Make no mistake, Mike Haywood's Redhawks are growing up and improving and are not going to be overwhelmed by the Nippert noise when they've already played in front of over 60,000 in Missouri and 90,000 in Gainesville. Yes, UC should win by a couple scores, but anyone that claims to be shocked if the Redhawks seriously compete doesn't follow much football.
See you at the game as we hope to hear some Bearcat "clangs" Saturday night.

While it may have ultimately failed in it bid to get its hands on any of Nortel Networks' patents, it seems as if Google at least had some fun while trying.
It was revealed last week that a consortium of six technology heavyweights had secured 6,000 patents from the bankrupt telecoms company for $4.5 billion, leaving Google and Intel out in the cold. Details of the bidding process are now emerging with Google's various bids in particular attracting some attention. We reported way back at the start of April that Google had made an initial bid of $900 million for the patents but after that the Mountain View company got a little creative with its bids.
During the bidding process last week, the next bid made by Google was $1,902,160,540, which, after a quick search on Google, is shown to be Brun's Constant – the number obtained by adding the reciprocals of the odd twin primes. Realising it needed to up its bid, Google's next offer was again of a mathematical bent. The figure was $2,614,972,128, which everyone will immediately recognise as the Meissel-Mertens Constant which as you know is defined as the limiting difference between the harmonic series summed only over the primes and the natural logarithm of the natural logarithm.
Google's final bid was somewhat more main stream, though again with a mathematical focus. Google bid $3.14159 billion, which is obviously a multiple of the figure commonly known as Pi. As the bids came in, those organising the auction became a little confused with Google's bid. "Google was bidding with numbers that were not even numbers," one source involved with the auction told Reuters. "It became clear that they were bidding with [numbers such as] the distance between the earth and the sun. One was the sum of a famous mathematical constant, and then when it got to $3 billion, they bid pi - $3.14159bn," the source said. "Either they were supremely confident or they were bored."
While Google may have been confident, the company eventually lost out and the patents, which related to telecommunications including 4G technology such as Long Term Evolution (LTE), could end up being very important in the increasingly litigious area of mobile phone manufacturing.

SW North America Opens New Technical Center
The new Canton office will focus on aggressively building sales of precision metalworking machinery and its marketing presence in North America.
SW North America, Inc. (Canton, MI), a leading manufacturer of precision metalworking production machines, has announced the opening of its new North American sales and technical center to better serve and support its customers. The new Canton Technical Center is located at 40615 Koppernick Road, Canton, MI, 48187-4280.
Located in the Detroit metropolitan area, the new office allows the company to expand its foothold in the growing automotive market while increasing its customer base in the industrial, aerospace and defense, alternative energy, transportation, consumer products, and medical sectors.
The office is being led by Mark Reichenbacher, the president and chief executive officer, a 20-year industry veteran with management positions at various manufacturing companies. Prior to joining SW North America, Inc., he held various senior management positions at Grede Holdings LLC, ThyssenKrupp Waupaca, and Metaldyne.
"We will provide our U.S. and Canadian customers with the same level of service and support that our European customers have enjoyed from our home office," said Reichenbacher. "The Canton Technical Center provides a total solutions approach to the North American market. That includes turnkey sales, service, spare parts and project engineering."
In conjunction with the new office, the company hired James Campbell as the vice president of sales. Campbell has more than 30 years of sales and management experience, including senior leadership positions at The Cross Company, Giddings & Lewis, Future Tool & Machine Company, and Tri-Way Manufacturing Technologies Corp.
"We plan to aggressively build up our sales and marketing presence in North America," said Campbell. "In fact, we have already established contracts with American, Canadian, and other multinational companies."

Back in February, we wrote a post about Hollywood-inspired baby names that discussed how the names Jacob, Bella, Edward and Cullen were shooting up the list of top baby names due to the popularity of the Twilight series. Now, it's official! Isabelle and Jacob are the top baby names for girls and boys, respectively, according to this article from the Associated Press on Yahoo!
We can only imagine which birth announcements would have suited little Bella and Jacob. Probably something artistic and earthy (but still romantic!) for Bella, like this Flying Kites birth announcement:
And for the ever-shirtless Jacob, what else but a design that would show off his physique? Our Balloon Ride birth announcement would be perfect!
All joking aside, what do you think of the rising popularity of Hollywood-inspired baby names? If you've welcomed a little one in 2010, what have you named the newest member of your family? We'd love to hear it!

National Manufacturing Week's web site has abundance of information
National Manufacturing Week (NMW) features technologies, products, services, innovations and solutions which integrate and support of manufacturers. It is sponsored, endorsed, and supported by nearly 30 professional associations, societies, industry groups, and publications (including Control Engineering).
National Manufacturing Week (NMW) features technologies, products, services, innovations and solutions which integrate and support of manufacturers. It is sponsored, endorsed, and supported by nearly 30 professional associations, societies, industry groups, and publications (including Control Engineering ). It takes place March 15-18, 1999 in Chicago at McCormick Place; and everything about it can be found at www.manufacturingweek.com
Basic information, such as registration, listings of exhibitors, floor plan, a virtual tour, and a concise explanation of each of the four shows(National Industrial Automation, National Design Engineering, National Plant Engineering MRO & Management, and National Industrial Enterprise) which make up National Manufacturing Week can be found on the web site.
Find everything you need
The web site's exhibitor search lets users search the entire exhibitor list, alphabetically, within each show, or for individual exhibitor listings.
Fact sheets for each show provide overviews and hyperlinks to more specific information. Among items listed are number of visitors attending, size and cost of the show, and represented products.
NMW's official newsletter, Solutions , is also online. It focuses on each show; for example, the National Industrial Automation section discusses Cutler-Hammer's use of a single PC for controlling processes. Also, the 1999 conference program is listed, along with other special events. The special section dedicated to NMW's conferences says the sessions are divided into eight tracks.
Press releases at the web site are listed chronologically and interested users can hotlink to read about specific topics. Special events are scheduled throughout the week, including an exhibit of Al Unser Jr.'s Penske race car, space exploration day with a keynote presentation by NASA, and a free seminar, "Using the Internet to Boost Your Exports." ISA's Industry Bookstore will be at NMW, featuring more than 400 manufacturing and management titles.
National Manufacturing Week organizers say, attendees include everyone from corporate management to engineering and research and development personnel. If interested in the show, surfers can register to attend online by filling out the registration form.
Also, to help the prospective attendee navigate McCormick Place, there is a floor plan and virtual tour which guides web users through the show.
Pavilions, travel
The 1999 pavilion listings are grouped together on the web site according to show, followed by a brief description of each pavilion. Three new pavilion shows for 1999 are Buildings and Grounds (National Plant Engineering Show)—the newest technology and solutions designed to make the maintenance of the physical plant easier, quicker, and more expedient; Material Handling and Logistics (National Plant Engineering Show)—"the key to warehousing and distribution in the 21st century"; and the Motion Hall (National Design Engineering Show)—"offers all the mechanical, electrical, fluid, hydraulic, and pneumatic control systems and components you need."
Traveling can always be stressful, especially when on a tight schedule. A National Manufacturing Week Travel Desk is set up online to meet all of your travel needs, including hotel and travel arrangements. A listing of the 31 lowest priced hotels is on the first page of the travel page. National Manufacturing Week visitors can take advantage of special event hotel rates, airfares, and auto rentals, only at the Travel Desk.
A hotlink to McCormick Place is provided, as are four web sites devoted just to Chicago: Excite City Net-Chicago, Yahoo! Chicago, Chicago City Life, and Choose Chicago. So, if you are planning on attending the show, check out the travel section and make arrangements early.
Keep your eye out for upcoming new features on the web site. As the show dates get closer, information will be added and updated.

Take Five! Q & A with Dan Schulman
Expert Q & A | April 15, 2010
Dan Schulman
How did you start working about the field of homelessness (or housing)?
The Re*Generation was established in 2006 with the support of Virgin Unite, Virgin Group's charitable arm. The Re*Generation is Virgin Mobile USA's initiative to address the issue of youth homelessness and empower a generation to help its own. In June 2007, we worked with legislators from both the House and Senate to have Congress officially declare November as National Homeless Youth Awareness Month with the support of singer-songwriter and former homeless youth, Jewel.
Over the past three years, Virgin Mobile has continued to expand its efforts in this area. When we decided to make our annual Virgin Mobile Festival free this past summer, given the terrible economy, we also introduced our "Free I.P." program. It gave people the opportunity to volunteer at a homeless shelter in order to upgrade to a V.I.P. ticket at the concert. Through this program, more than 30,000 hours of community service were donated by volunteers throughout the country, more than $80,000 was raised, 1,000 pairs of sneakers were donated to homeless youth organizations, and 7000 hygiene kits were produced for distribution to homeless youth organizations. The Free I.P. program was an acclaimed success and we are continuing to integrate it into various branding programs including our sponsorship this year of the Lady Gaga tour.
Where do you draw your inspiration?
When we first got involved, we worked with some key non-profit partners including StandUp4Kids. They had a program that put supporters out on the street to get somewhat of a taste of what it's like to live on the streets. There I was, dressed shabbily with no money, no cell phone, trying to get a dollar for a cup of coffee. I can never fully understand the difficulties that homeless people experience, but I did feel what it's like to be invisible to people walking by, and feel completely minimized. It was a very profound experience for me, and only heightened my commitment to the issue.
With more than 1 million children and teens living without a home, it is more essential than ever that broad-based awareness complement significant private philanthropy and government support toward solving this pressing social issue.
Why do you think ending homelessness is possible?
We're very excited about partnering this year with the National Association to Educate Homeless Children and Youth NAEHCY. They provide liaisons within school districts to support homeless youth onsite at school. These and other innovative programs will help make a difference.
And the efforts we started with programs like TXT2CLOTHE and TXT2DONATE were early examples of mobile giving which has exploded over the past few years. By making giving accessible and easy, people are more likely to contribute and then hopefully get involved as well. Lady Gaga has a PSA about homeless youth that appears during each of her concerts – she starts touring again in July – with a direct appeal to Text to Donate.
Through our programs, more than 200,000 items of new clothing have been made available to homeless youth through partner organizations. Virgin Mobile has provided more than $3,000,000 of its own money to support awareness programs, and generated close to $500,000 in donations.
The triggers of youth homelessness- poverty, family instability, mental illness, homophobia and abuse- are societal issues that are complex and have followed our human experience for hundreds of years. Virgin Mobile believes that there is more that can be done on both a national and local level to appropriately respond to these breakdowns. We are one organization working to make a difference with a handful of partners. We will remain passionate and committed to moving closer towards the goal of ending homelessness, and empowering people to help make a difference for some of the kids living on the streets.

Kindle: Amazon's new wireless reading device
Wed Nov 21 2007
The wily folks at Amazon.com have unveiled what may be this season's hottest gadget: the $400 Kindle, a 10.3-oz electronic reading device in sexy iPod white that's designed to look and read just like a real book. Consumers shop the Kindle Store remotely, and choice books, newspapers, magazines and blogs are delivered directly to their handhelds. Sounds pretty dreamy, right?
We turned to TONY Books editor Michael Miller for his opinion: "I think it's great; it's comfortable and it's saving paper. I'm always concerned about my vision and I feel like this is very easy on the eyes." Miller also pointed out one of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos's golden selling points: The Kindle looks good.
But as our show-and-tell wore on, Miller grew increasingly concerned: "What is the availability of books like? Does it have Roberto Bolaño's The Savage Detectives?"
Uh, no.
"And how much poetry does this thing offer? Very little I suspect. Poetry is great for subway reading."
"And where are the books that only get printed in runs of 10,000? Or the out-of-print books that are totally amazing and way better than books published in the gazillions?"
Okay, okay. So it doesn't have every book known to man. But it does have 88,000 picks, and is a decent match for readers on the go. (It even lets you annotate in the virtual margins!)
Besides, nobody appreciates a broadsheet-reading neighbor on a busy commute.

Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
U-M Junior Outfielder Katie Luetkens
On hitting her first home run ... "You work hard all week on different mechanics and having the opportunity to come out and display that can remind you why you work so hard all week, and it also serves as a reminder to never be satisfied."
On seeing all of her teammates greeting her at home plate ... "As I was rounding third Hutch had a big smile on her face and gave me a high-five - everything kind of slowed down and I thought about how many people wished they could have that moment, and it feels great to have the opportunity. To experience running in and knowing each one of my teammates are excited for me and have confidence in me, it's the greatest feeling in the world. We're so close and we work hard and do everything together."
On coming up with a big win on Alumni Night ... "The big thing with Michigan that we focus on is that Michigan isn't for a day, it's for life. So much has changed since some of these alums were here - there wasn't always a locker room or the great facility we have at Alumni Field - to be able to see how the program has grown and see how we as players have grown is great, but it comes down to one simple thing: we want to win for Michigan. Everyone is connected."
U-M Junior Outfielder Lyndsay Doyle
On her productive day at the plate ... "I've just been working hard and getting back to being comfortable, I wasn't quite in rhythm but putting in that work is helping me feel good, and working with the coaches and the other slappers is getting me comfortable at the plate."
On her first home run ..."I was just seeing the ball real well, and sometimes that just happens. It did feel good - I've never hit a home run ever in my life - so it was just fun, it was a blast."
On seeing her teammates at home plate to greet her ... "It's hard to describe, it was really cool to see how pumped they were after what I did. It's awesome to see how excited we all get for each other."
On a big win in the Big Ten ... "Our motto is to take one pitch at a time and I think we did that very well. Whatever happens is out of our control, except for playing Michigan softball. If we play Michigan softball, it makes for a good day."

- - Repair 4 hp two stroke ? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/98148-repair-4-hp-two-stroke.html)
Repair 4 hp two stroke ?
A gift came to me a two stroke 4 HP Johnson Outboard.
It needs repair. I have somewhat of an issue with the way a two stroke spews oil fumes and is not very kind to the environment.
It seems not to have much of spark for what I can see. I put a test light in line before the coils and it lights up pretty good. I found a plug with three female but only two male pins before the coils and tested at that location. Female side marked A,B,C, all light up. It makes sense that only two male pins are used because this engine has just two plugs and two coils. The plugs seem to have weak yellow fire jumping the gap not a bright blue. Some times I do not see a spark.
Would both coils or both plugs fail at the same time ?
Coils seem to cost $20 - $35 for a 2 Stroke
It would be a used engine after spending say $70
A new 4 Stroke outboard Cost $1300
Try to repair or buy new ?
Kind regards, Lou
Re: Repair 4 hp two stroke ?
I don't understand the quandry....repair for $70 and use it, or spend 1300 on a new one with no idle adjustment, prone to ethanol issues, no factory support, etc, etc. For me, I would repair the old one, bank the savings or pay down my mortgage.
Just read here on issues folks are having with brand new out of the box engines.
You are in the wrong hobby/lifestyle if you have issues with exhaust. Sailing for the most part requires some sort of ICE to get you to and from the sailing, and to help you out of danger when the wind dies completely, unless your boat is small enough and close enough to the water to row.
The decision is yours but $1200 saved by using the old engine could be donated to the carbon cause of your choice, put in the bank or buy food for those less fortunate than you.
No brainer in my book, but YMMV
best of luck
Re: Repair 4 hp two stroke ?
Concur - sure a 2 stroke is not as clean, and some folks are willing to pay for salve to their conscience.
On the other hand a 2 stroke will last forever, burn the ethanol and the water and is lighter, faster to torque up - and most important - start reliably.
Re: Repair 4 hp two stroke ?
I love my little Mercury/Tohatsu 5 hp two stroke. So light my wife can handle it (well, with a little help), and so easy to work on that I've torn down the whole carb in the cockpit in a rocking anchorage.
That being said, I absolutely *HATE* having to mix fuel/oil every time i fill up. Makes me...and it is a bit noisy.
Re: Repair 4 hp two stroke ?
My two-stroke Evinrude 9.9, aka "the lawnmower", is the same age as my regular crew, who incidentally has loaned me his basement for repairs a couple of years ago. We keep it going, it gets us in and out of the marina, and if the wind is light we just sail slower. C27s mount their motors in a hole in the transom, and four-strokes just don't fit in it.
Re: Repair 4 hp two stroke ?
You didn't say what year? I think they went to electronic ignition about the early 70's. If yours is electronic you should see a bright blue/white spark at the plug. Maybe try a new plug? If not, the exciter or trigger coil may be bad. A shop may be able to test it and the ignition coils. I have had many 2 stroke outboards and motorcycles. Properly maintained, new plugs once in a while, the are bullet proof and will last basically forever. The smoke is less annoying than someone smoking cigarettes, to me anyway.
Paul T
Re: Repair 4 hp two stroke ?
Would both coils go bad at the same time ?
I have found a lot of coils on the web pages. I need to find the right ones or give in and try find a repair shop.
Any reply helps I think I can fix it. Wires and lights are not my strong suit but I am persistent. I can start changing parts and plugs and wires a few good folks posting will help me to change the right ones first.
The pull starter was a mess and that was and easy fix. Just need some spark Thanks, Lou
Re: Repair 4 hp two stroke ?
It is a regular shaft 1977. It is hard to diagnose electrics from a distance, but for starters, no the coils don't both go bad at once. I have several Johnson 2 strokes and did have one of your same model for a few years. If I come up with some sort of brilliant idea for yours, I will get back to you. I will consult with my outboard expert (my son).
Re: Repair 4 hp two stroke ?
Re: Repair 4 hp two stroke ?
It probably has a kill switch or button on it. They either contact to ground or act as an open/closed switch. You might try tracing both wired and if possible, disconnect one end. If it is a "grounded" system that will isolate the possibly bad switch. If it is an "open/closed system you could skin back a little bit of insulation and connect a jumper wire to each wire, completing the circuit ahead of the switch.
You might try new plugs as two strokes live and die on plugs.
The exicter coil, which replaced points in older motors, may be inside the flywheel, which, unless you have a puller, you probably can't get off.
Before doing anything, suggest you do a thorough inspection of all the wiring for chafing or corrosion of the contacts.
Some links: https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp...w=1088&bih=521
Or, you could just take it to a shop. If it has decent compression they can probably get it going with an hour or two of labor.

Sure do, I took like 20 pictures yesterday, I'll definately post more.
I am no expert, but I'm trying to learn how to manipulate my photos, so I am actually just asking some questions and seeing if I am learning anything. In that first picture, did you do any work to it? I am guessing, based on the comparison to the second photo, that you turned the brightness down and raised the contrast a little bit. I think it looks pretty good. The only thing is that the sky seems more gray than it does in #2, but the car looks much better.
It looks like you went a little overboard with the contrast on the first picture, then the second one is the exact opposite, with the picture being washed out. The close-up of the Koenig center cap is decent, but you have your reflection in each of your lugnuts. I probably would've moved over to the right a little on the last picture to give it a more appealing angle, plus you have your shadow on the car and your headlight is totally blown out.
Overall, I'd wait until the sun was a little lower before shooting...the sunlight was still a pretty harsh orange.

Thanks Verdugo for the constructive criticism. Seriously, I am an artist (not photographer) and can take it very well. I'm still learning how to use my digi and photoshop. I usually play around with the colors first, then the levels. I rarely touch the curves or brightness/contrast. I'd love to send you the original digi's and have you mess with them, but I know you're a busy man.
Uncle Lewie, as soon I can afford coilovers, I will drop the car. Can't just put springs in with 19's. Also the sideskirts will be painted as soon as I have enough time off to do a good job on them. I don't just want to slap some paint on them and put them back on the car.
I'm really diggin' the last pic!

the 2nd one needs the black levels turned up. 3rd one zoom all the way in so the lens is longer then take a few steps back and shoot. It it will get rid of the reflection and distortion and add some nice gackground blur. 4th your shadow is in and the front of the car is blown out. all the pics could use some burning on the blown out parts

The injured duo are unlikely to face Jurgen Klopp's men as the Gunners look to make amends for the defeat to the German side at the Emirates Stadium two weeks ago
Wilshere rolled his left ankle during a training session on Thursday and subsequently missed Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Liverpool on Saturday.
Gibbs, meanwhile, suffered a calf injury during the win over Brendan Rodgers' side and is also expected to miss out.
|Arsenal are 11/2 with Paddy to keep a clean sheet v Dortmund
Jurgen Klopp is looking forward to taking on Wenger again - a man he greatly admires, despite the two having different ideas on how football should be played.
"He is really something. I love him. He is Sir Arsene Wenger," Klopp said.
"I like [Arsenal's philosophy]. I love it but I cannot coach it because I am a different guy. It is not my sport.
"I don't linking winning 80 per cent [of possession]. Sorry, that is not enough for me. Fighting football, not serenity football, that is what I like."
Klopp, who signed a two-year contract extension at the end of October, which keeps him at the club until 2018, will return to the touchline for this match after completing a two-game ban.
He will hope striker Robert Lewandowski continues his hot streak, with the Pole netting a hat-trick - his fourth for the club - in a 6-1 home win over Stuttgart on Friday.
Lewandowski also scored a late winner in Dortmund's 2-1 victory over Arsenal last month.
Dortmund have never lost at home to an English side in the Champions League, winning four of seven previous matches.
They will be without club captain Sebastian Kehl (ankle), despite the midfielder returning to training, while Lukasz Piszczek (groin) and Ilkay Gundogan (back) will also miss out.
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 14 away matches, with 12 of them being wins, and they have not lost in their last four visits to Germany in the Champions League.
Arsenal are competing in their 16th successive Champions League campaign and will be well-placed to reach the round of 16 if they can beat Dortmund.
But they will be without Theo Walcott (abdomen), Lukas Podolski (hamstring), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Abou Diaby (both knee), while young winger Serge Gnabry is struggling with an ankle injury.

$1000 e38...
Local seller (for me at least) Planning on calling him later today to get VIN for carfax pull and also to take a look at it. Although I am also looking at an E39 for $2000 near me as well (needs cooling system overhaul) but anyway, does this seem to have good potential or no?
Rode Hard and put up wet.. But anything can be saved.. With a car like this, you may end up putting more into that than a $5000 car that has been maintained.
If its a POS, just part it out and youll make decent money on it.:thumbup:

Cottonball Colin (edition 2008)
by Jeanne Willis, Tony Ross (Illustrator)
Work details
Cottonball Colin by Jeanne Willis
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Reading children's books as an adult has clued me into how often there's a message for the parents and not just a colorful story for the child. Entre algodones by Jeanne Willis is a good example of this. The mother rat doesn't let her littlest rat, named Tono, out of her sight much, and generally protects him from all harm. This goes on until one day she gets the idea that if he's enveloped in cotton (entre algodones=within cotton), he'd be safe going out into the big, scary world.
And as you may have guessed, reality doesn't work that way.
This is a good book about a young mouse wanting more freedom than his mother was giving. After going out and seeing the real world, he had convinced his mother that it was safe enough for him to be able to go out and live on his own. This is a great book and I highly recommend it.
A great way to explain to young children that their parents are not being mean when they make rules, but that they love and care about them. Cottonball Colin had a protective mom who worries about him going outside to play, just as every mom does. Cottonball Colin proves to his mom that he can be safe while having fun.
NCLA Review - Cottonball Colin is the story of a little mouse and an over-protective mother. Colin is smaller than all his brothers and sisters. His mother never lets him do anything because she is afraid he will get hurt. Colin is determined to go out into the world. His mother wraps him in cotton balls to protect him. As Colin goes on his worldly trip, he looses his cotton balls. With each mishap, he finds he is stronger than anyone thinks. He returns without his cotton balls and his mother sees he is just fine. This is not a Christian book, but, it shows children that even though they are small, they can still be strong. An added message for parents is that no matter how we try to protect our children, we sometimes need to let them face the world on their own. Ages 4-8. Rating: 2—NP

By Stan Maddux
The Chicago Sun-Times
LAPORTE, Ill. — With a TASER pointed at him, a LaPorte man barricaded inside his home grabbed his 2-year-old daughter early Tuesday and used her as a shield.
"That's pretty sad," said LaPorte Police Chief of Detectives Clyde Crass.

New Reports Show Wind Power Growing at Full Sail
With findings that show the amount of electricity generated by wind and solar power has more than doubled in the United States since 2008, the 2012 Wind Technology Market report (PDF) and the 2012 Market Report on Wind Technologies in Distributed Applications (PDF) may help soothe those anxious about the pace of alternative energy development in the United States.
"Despite the good news, a statement put out with the reports cautions that future years may not display such strong growth for wind," writes Zak Stone. "The report expects that 2013 'will be a slow year for new capacity additions, due in part to continued policy uncertainty and project development timelines.' Things will pick up in 2014, but 'projections for 2015 and beyond are much less certain.'"

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
The Mercury Cafe's indomitable life force, Marilyn Megenity, has seen it all -- good, bad and ugly -- in the many years she's been running the place. So if she personally endorses something, it's gotta be good. Right now she's touting the Middle Eastern Peace Dance, which is held the last Saturday of every month and features live music by Sherefe and the Habibis. It seems to encourage what Megenity calls "that old wild hippie freestyle," a sweet-vibed communal phenomenon some of us haven't seen since 1970 -- give or take a few Phish concerts.
God-Shaped Hole, Tiffanie Debartolo's tale of star-crossed love - born in the classified ads, played out beneath the artificial glow of Los Angeles life -- has all of the elements of pure romantic noir: The lead character, Trixie, has a love affair with the dreamy and intense Jacob, a writer for an alternative weekly newspaper, that is burning, tumultuous and, ultimately, tragic. (Let's just say someone drowns in the Pacific, leaving the other for the great wave in the sky.) But the debut novel from DeBartolo, who also penned the screenplay for the Jennifer Aniston/Ione Sky vehicle Dreams of an Insomniac, is funny, bold, quasi-philosophical and a hell of a lot smarter than your standard grocery-store paperback fare. Currently splitting time between Boulder and the Big Apple, DeBartolo is reportedly at work on her second book; we can only hope it's as divine as her first.
Yeah, we know Vinyl is no more: The great blizzard of 2003 tore the roof off the place, literally, while completely demolishing Floyd's Barbershop next door. But owner Regas Christou has vowed to rebuild, and we hope he hops to. Although Vinyl lacked the flash of the high-profile Church right around the corner, among music aficionados and the die-hard dance set, it ranked a notch higher on the cool scale. The ambience was fresher, the DJs were hipper, and the crowd was usually down for something more adventurous than the latest J.Lo remix. Internationally known spinners as well as local residents took to the tables in the multi-room space. And if you were looking to update your encyclopedia of dance moves, Vinyl's patrons had your booty covered. A word to the reconstructionists: We think the place would look great with, say, a pitched ceiling.
When The Simpsons come on at William's Tavern, all activity stops. The eclectic jukebox (it's got everything from The Cramps to Hank Williams to Motown) clicks off and patrons hunkered at the bar and sitting in the church pews pay their respects in the House of Simpson. Regulars know to arrive early on Sundays, not for sassy bar mistress Anne May's tasty cocktails but for her (free) sloppy joes and other home-cooked treats.
The Starline Lounge has been dealing with the best kind of identity crises in the past year. While owner Curt Simms has slowly sallied forth with plans to open the former Denver Buffalo Company space as an upscale Mexican food restaurant called Cielo, the club portion has been cookin' for months. A few nights a week, the minimalist back bar fills with ever-evolving crowds who turn up for theme nights on a rotating calendar. Most of the time, "Brown Sugar" hip-hop events rule on Saturdays, while Friday was recently handed over to "Delicious," a woman-centric showcase for songwriters, bands and DJs. The place has an unsettled feel, like a shoe that needs some breaking in, but the dance floor is ample, the drinks are strong and the fan base is amorphous enough to stay interesting. The Starline may not be as polished as its Golden Triangle dance-club competitors, but it does the job just fine.
Don't wear a short skirt to Club Purple unless you're feeling flashy. The floor that separates the first and second levels is all glass, which means that ground-dwellers can get a good look at the stylish throngs dancing and drinking above. But even at right-side-up angles, the crowd is an eyeful: A be-seen spot among LoDo-ites, Club Purple attracts the beautiful people, who turn up for live DJs and that special feeling that comes with ordering bottle service. Enjoy the view.

Keene closes in on connecting city pathways
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent | May 28. 2014 9:57PM
The Roundhouse T Phase II trail is the last piece of a project initially funded in 1997, said Kürt Blomquist, Keene Public Work Director.
Where all the old railway tracks converge is the missing piece of the city trail system, he said.
The federal government requires the easement be permanent, Blomquist said.
In July, federal officials voted to consolidate certain federal accounts that fund these types of alternative transportation projects, Blomquist said.
Keene officials have an aggressive time frame to keep to secure the federal funds, Blomquist said, that is why the trail needs to be specified and the easement acquired.
Blomquist said he anticipates federal funding for these types of projects would be made available through other programs in the future, though, competition for these alternative transportation projects would increase because of the decreased funding overall.

Drug-Free Housing Facility Helps in Substance Recovery
Posted by Drug Free in Drug Abuse Treatment, Drug Rehabilitation on March 2, 2012
A new study from the John Hopkins University School of Medicine suggests that drug-free housing and day treatment programs could greatly improve the chances of complete recovery for people who have had substance abuse problems.
The team of researchers noted that addicts who underwent detoxification processes could increase their probability of total recovery and avoid relapses by up to ten times when drug-free recovery housing and day treatment programs are made available.
Lead researcher Michelle Tuten said that their study focused on those under opioids addiction such as heroin and prescription drugs use (painkillers like OxyContin, Vicodin, and Percocet). The process of opioid treatment starts with detoxification but most patients have relapse episodes just after a month of treatment. In fact, 65 to 80 percent of these addicts go back to their habits after detoxification alone.
Yet with the presence of drug-free housing facility and day treatment programs, the rates of abstinence after detoxification increase significantly. Those who receive drug-free housing provision posted an abstinence rate of 37% while those provided with the same housing facility coupled with day treatment program reached 50% abstinence rate. If neither of the two provisions is provided, only 13% become successful in quitting their addiction.
"It's no surprise that opioid-dependent individuals stay off drugs longer when they live in a structured, drug-free environment after finishing detox. Drug-dependent individuals frequently report housing as their most pressing need," says Tuten.
The team of researchers advised those who are trying to get rid of their prescription drugs abuse problems to at least give drug-free housing facilities a try if they are serious about getting sober again. Family members should also support their loved one undergoing treatment.
"If we want to help people stay off heroin and stop abusing prescription painkillers, we need to do more than help them initiate abstinence; we need to help them maintain abstinence and build a drug-free lifestyle as well," Tuten said.
New Bridge Foundation Offers Addiction Treatment That Works
Posted by Drug Free in Drug Abuse Treatment, Drug Addiction, Drug Rehabilitation, Raising Healthy Kids on July 2, 2010
The New Bridge Foundation was founded on 1968 and is a non-profit agency that offers treatment programs to those who struggle with drugs and mental health issues. The Foundation uses a very comprehensive approach that utilizes both conventional and alternative methods of treatment. Located in the two Hearst mansions above the UC Berkeley campus, the New Bridge facility offers a very homey and relaxing environment for patients.
The New Bridge Foundation, which is one of the best in the country at facilitating drug and alcohol treatments, offers an extensive program that has been proven and tested by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Backed with 40 years of experience, it has been a leading and well-trusted organization dealing with drug and alcohol treatment. Patients who have graduated from their programs have left positive testimonials on having addiction-free, meaningful and successful lives after their stay.
Drug or alcohol addiction can be quite a traumatic thing especially when we watch our loved ones go through it. Watching someone we love suffering from addiction is definitely hard to watch. The New Bridge Foundation also helps family members of drug abusers manage and get through these difficult situations. Research has proven that if one includes the family in the treatment process, the rate of success for patient recovery is significantly higher.

Interactive: North Carolina Symphony Blog
Q&A With Cellist Zuill Bailey
Cellist Zuill Bailey recently sat down to chat about his new Britten: Cello Symphony & Sonata compact disc recorded with Music Director Grant Llewellyn and the North Carolina Symphony, which is being released today, January 14. Daniel Coombs, writing in Audiophile Audition, gives four stars to the project, which was recorded last February. Coombs writes, "Zuill Bailey is an incredible cellist and the North Carolina Symphony under Grant Llewellyn sounds every bit as good as any other orchestra on record." The CD can be ordered at ncsymphony.org. Read the full review here.
Tell us about the experience of recording with the North Carolina Symphony…
As I said to the orchestra at the very last concert we performed, this was one of the very most inspiring captures of a performance that I have ever been a part of… knowing the complexity of this work. If everyone wasn't on their A game, it would have been the opposite of complete success. Working with Grant was wonderful. I have all the trust and affection for Grant, both as a conductor and as a cellist… In the decade that I have been playing with him, he has not only lived and breathed the pieces as a cellist, but he gave me great confidence. He has the ability to strengthen those around him. I knew that whatever I did, he would be with me.
How long did it take for you to prepare to record the CD? What was your practice schedule like?
My preparation starts with familiarizing myself with a composer in general. Britten was very different because this was not a piece that was deep in my history… So, the moment the North Carolina Symphony asked about my involvement in the celebration of Britten's centennial I began opening my life windows to what Britten was all about. … I didn't realize what he had done; and what he had done was to have written a piece that was so difficult – primarily because he felt that Mstislav Rostropovich had no limits. As in most of the works that were written for Rostropovich, there is a reinvention of what the cello can do. Rostropovich had a uniquely shaped left hand, and his technique was miles ahead of most cellists in history. All composers who wrote for him simply went with what was in their dreams versus thinking "cello wise."
In this case when I sat down it was about three months prior to the performance and recording, I was struggling to try and figure it out, because I also had no one to talk to about the piece. No one plays the piece, and it's very rarely programmed. So I was trying to figure out techniques that are on paper but that have to be translated into a realistic experience with only two shots (at recording)… So to answer your question, the study started a year before and the cello part of it was a few months.
Over the years, how many recordings have you made?
I think I'm almost up to 20. The last few years have been primarily live recordings. I found that the visceral aspect of live recording is something that is almost unattainable in a studio recording. This was a mountain to climb… What was so exciting about this project is that the orchestra was as excited as I was, and just as prepared as I was to be ready to go, under quite frankly a situation where we had two shots at it. There was nothing forgiving. It shows why the North Carolina Symphony is such a wonderful Symphony – because they produce under the highest pressure at the highest level.
Any words about what to listen for?
Britten is his own encapsulated vision of music, and it is not necessarily melody based; it is emotion based. The thing that I think that has thrown most people about Britten's music and this in particular is that they think that they are going to go in and grab a melody, and it's not that way. It's literally a storm.
The people who I have explained this to, who have chosen to let it just wash over them again and again, tell me that they could not stop listening to it. If they go into knowing that it is an immersion into a different language, once they grasp the corners of that language, it is like an addiction…. And that makes me so happy.
Thank God for Britten's 100th birthday because it reinvigorated the adoration that he so richly deserves. The way Telarc recorded it, you're in the best seat in the house, and you're hearing everything – not only the sounds, but the visceral textures that are even difficult to hear when you are playing the Symphony itself from my vantage point. When I sat down to listen to it, I said "Wow, goose bumps on goose bumps." From what I have seen all of the recordings of this piece are studio recordings where they try and manicure it. This is different... One of the things that will set this recording apart is that you will hear that.

The Federal Government Puts the Brakes on Driverless CarsBy
Next week, a group of would-be auto executives will head to Detroit for an unusual industry gathering: the Driverless Car Summit, an annual meeting of robot-car makers. The vehicles, which use sensors and other technologies to navigate without relying on human drivers, are still in test-drive mode. Their biggest backer is Google, which has spent millions designing and testing them on California's roads. Google Chief Executive Larry Page says the cars will "change our lives" because passengers, freed from having to steer through traffic, will be able to do other things on their daily commute. Driverless cars could also be safer, he says, because they take human error out of the equation. In theory, you could ride drunk and still make it home OK.
That's still a ways away. While Nevada, California, and Florida have recently passed laws allowing limited testing of self-driving vehicles, federal regulators haven't approved them for general use. On Thursday, the Obama Administration weighed in for the first time. The U.S. Department of Transportation recommended that states prohibit manufacturers from selling driverless cars to the general public, except for testing purposes.
Regulators don't think the cars are ready for mass market, but they're writing rules to help get them there. For the first time, the federal government published guidelines spelling out four categories of automation, ranging from a little to a lot. Category 1 is a car that uses some automated technologies—sensing when a vehicle alongside it is changing lanes. Category 4 is a fully automated car that can be piloted remotely, like a drone. The guidelines are voluntary, but if states adopt them, the federal government's move could start the process of standardizing rules for driverless cars across the U.S.

A company that produces videos specifically for use online can give you a quick "how to" for video marketing, and it should be part of what they provide for you. Having a video will not help you if you do not put it to use correctly or if it just drives away potential clients instead of calling their attention.For more information visit this site Marc Marseille.
Any quick "how to" for video marketing should include not just the way to use your video but tips on creating the best video for you. One thing to remember when using video marketing is who your audience is and how to get through to them. If you create and use a video that is noisy and loud on a site for yoga products, customers will probably be driven away. On the other hand, if you are trying to sell skateboards to kids, your video should have all the energy and enthusiasm.
You also need to think about how a video will run on your site or elsewhere. Using a format that means that the video will open in a new window or will need the media player to open to run may just be irritating to a visitor. Also, it's good to have a quick and easy method for turning off the video or at least the sound, in case someone is watching when they're at work! Any "how to" for video marketing will cover these points for you.
A simple "how to" for video marketing will be able to discuss some of the best ways of using videos on your website. Usually, this is done as an introduction before a visitor gets to your homepage, or is on one particular side of the site. This will be an easier way to navigate around the video, and it will not mess with the information on your web page.
Any "how to" for video marketing will explain how quickly this can happen. You can discuss different products of various reasons to consider your products.
It is normal for businesses to have their social networking accounts, such as in Facebook or YouTube. It's always good to upload your videos on to these sites because they may bring in customers.
It would be best not to ignore the use of a good video for your website, so make sure you comprehend all the steps involved in using videos as a marketing tool.

The incitation itself was very nice. Great quality, Great resolution and the envelopes are very cute if you have your address printed on it."
