Lake Garda
Read our pocket guide to Lake Garda
Lake Garda: A pocket guide
Blocked from the cold northern winds by the Dolomites, Lake Garda has a positively Mediterranean climate—the largest of the Italian lakes, it is also the warmest. If Como was beloved by the Plinys, Garda's greatest admirers were Catullus and Gabriele d'Annunzio, the twentieth-century poet, firebrand, war hero, and political hot potato. Tennyson, James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence, Thomas Mann, Kafka, Andre Gide, Laurence Olivier, Maria Callas, and Churchill were also big fans.
The Cultural Destination in the Lake District
According to olive-oil connoisseurs, the best olive oil in the world comes from Garda, albeit in small quantities. Garda is considered less chic than Como—though not by Italians—and attracts families, as well as artists and beach bums (the water is clean and there are plenty of beaches). Sailors and windsurfers testing the winds that were first mentioned by Virgil.
The west coast is the most prestigious, home to the oldest and most luxurious villas and the grandest hotels. Here you'll find Salo, Garda's administrative capital and a beautiful little town, as well as Isola di Garda, the lake's only island, where Saint Francis built a monastery. When the monastery fell into ruins the Borghese family built the most extraordinary neo-Venetian Gothic castle; it is still privately owned, though passing boats always stop and stare.
Sailing Away & Breezing through Charming Villages
The north shore is better for sailing and surfing. Though it has some of the lake's most stunning landscape and some little villages, the north shore has been taken over by mainly German campsites and caravans, a holdover from its past as part of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
The east shore traditionally belonged to Verona and is chiefly visited for the delightful town of Garda; the Siren rocks, site of a gorgeous Renaissance villa; and the town of Bardolino, known for its red wine.
Sirmione, the main town to the south of the lake, is enchanting. It has cobbled streets, a thirteenth-century castle, and, above all, a ruined Roman villa lying at the tip of the promontory: the Grotte di Catullo. In fact, there is no a grotto; the name was bestowed by Venetian explorers who came upon what they thought were natural caves in the thick undergrowth, not realizing they had stumbled on a vast treasure, the most important Roman site in northern Italy. The town gets crowded in summer, but spring and autumn are peaceful. A short walk from the town center takes you away from crowds, even in summer. Desenzano, the largest of the lakeside towns, just a short boat ride from Sirmione, has a beautiful old quarter with lively cafés, good restaurants, a twelfth-century castle above the port, and the ruin of a fine Roman villa with mosaic floors.
A Cabinet of Curiosities
The most famous sight of all—and not to be missed—is the quite incredible and legendary house of Gabriele d'Annunzio. The rambling house with private museum gives the word eccentric new meaning. It's filled with d'Annunzio's bizarre collections: Crammed into the rooms are some 10,000 objects—paintings, statues, stained glass, antiques, books, musical instruments, vintage cars—many of them souvenirs of d'Annunzio's many lovers. The propeller of his seaplane hangs from a ceiling. One room is an Arabian tent with gold and black damask walls. His spare bedroom contains a coffin where he used to lie and think great thoughts. He built the entrance to the house deliberately low so that visitors would have to bow their heads, and in his delightfully mad Art Deco dining room there is a bronze tortoise which he had embalmed after it died of indigestion while participating at his dinner parties.
Lake Garda is easily reachable from Milan, Verona and Brescia.


text: Well, I started the site out on IPS 4.x series (long story on why and won't go into details) but the script never "fit" for the site. So, since one of my other sites doesn't get any traffic (the Linux one) I decided to do something new with that license. The Bent Bike forum was moved from IPS 4.1 to XenForo. Since there are no converters, all posts were lost (except for mine, which I manually copied over). Without further ado, I bring you The Bent Bike Forum, a site for recumbent bike/trike riders. The style is still being worked on - I was in a hurry to get off of IPS before I wasted much more time & effort on something that was not working out and got the basics done on the site - so be gentle. The base of the style is Audentio's fantastic UI.X. We are using Bob's Showcase (which is being turned into more of a resource center) and his AMS add-on and Jeremy's Event's add-on. I will also be bringing Snogs Raffles add-on from my other site (where it doesn't get used) to this one, along with Audentio's credits/shop add on.

Before DSO Heads to Carnegie Hall, An Invite to a Recording Session at the Meyerson
Speaking of the arts (and, in the comments, affordable tickets) ...
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra sends word this morning that the DSO's heading to Carnegie Hall on May 11, where, as part of the first-ever Spring for Music fest, the orchestra will perform for the 11th time -- its first with music director Jaap van Zweden. Says DSO President Bill Lively, "It is an honor for the Dallas Symphony to represent our city in New York as part of an innovative festival at the iconic Carnegie Hall."
On the play list that night is Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Steven Stucky and librettist Gene Scheer's August 4, 1964, the LBJ commission that world-premiered in Dallas on September 18, 2008, to great acclaim. The New York Times called it "a complex tribute to a complex man with a deeply divided legacy."
But before its New York bow, Stucky and Scheer's piece will be performed once more at the Meyerson Symphony Center -- on May 6. Not only that, but it will be recorded for CD release. And you're invited to the recording session: Tickets are now available for the low, low price of $20.

Standard primesFebruary 9th, 2013
The hunt for the standard prime is over, I was struggling with the Nikkor AF-S 50mm 1.4G and the Nikkor 35mm 1.8G DX, both had something to it, but none could convince me on a D800e. I was so desperate that I tried to adapt the DX lens to the FX sensor with the Kenko 300 DGX. Not bad, but not really what I was looking for.
I prefer the 35mm FoV, I feel it is closer to the perspective we get with our vision (might be subjective), so I 35mm was called for. The Nikkor 35/1.4 has some issues with strong LoCA, the old 35/2.0 was simple not sharp enough on a D800, so recently the Nikon version of the Sigma 35mm 1.4 DG came out and here it is:

Cityscape Pictures ~ Mark Hopkins San Francisco ~ Top of the Mark
Skyline photos San Francisco from Top of the Mark
San Francisco tourism
My husband and I have enjoyed being a tourist in San Francisco, California while on our way to or from the wine country several times. My husband had traveled to that "City by the Bay" on several occasions but wanted me to see some highlights on my very first visit. So while we were staying at the beautiful Huntington Hotel he made sure that we walked over to the Mark Hopkins Hotel and went up to their lounge called Top of the Mark for a drink while it was still daylight. That is where I was able to take these skyline pictures shown here.
The scenery as viewed from the highest point in all of San Francisco atop Nob Hill ( if the day is bright and clear as it was at the time of our visit ) is nothing short of stupendous.
We would later be visiting many of the places that were within view from a closer-up perspective...places like Chinatown, Grace Cathedral, San Francisco Bay and elsewhere.
But for a bird's eye view of this fabulous city, head on over to the Top of the Mark if you find yourself in San Francisco on vacation and wish to see things from this lofty and elevated perspective.

Mark Hopkins
A little background on this hotel's namesake...
Mark Hopkins, Jr. had the heart and soul of a true entrepreneur. He did a number of jobs and started businesses...everything from being a clerk in a post office in the early days to studying law; being a bookkeeper; investing in a company which delivered goods from the east to the west during California's Gold Rush days; opening a wholesale grocery and he also started a hardware and iron company.
Some of these things were more successful than others, but experiences along the way led him to the ultimate accomplishment. Hopkins and 3 others ( commonly referred to as "The Big Four" ) were the investors in the Central Pacific Railroad started in 1861.
Particularly in those early days of the 19th century, railroads were responsible for opening up new areas of the country and delivering people as well as supplies in easier fashion to the frontier and already settled places.
This resulted in "The Big Four" ( Mark Hopkins, Jr., Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker and Collis Huntington ) ultimately becoming very wealthy men.

Mark Hopkins Hotel San Francisco
The location of this hotel which is now a part of the Intercontinental chain of luxury hotels sits on the same spot of land where a mansion built by Mark Hopkins, Jr. once stood.
Unfortunately the Hopkin's mansion did not survive a raging fire which occurred after the significant California earthquake of 1906.
This Intercontinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco hotel has now been in business since 1926.
It is a beauty just judging from the lobby and the lounge at the top and a few other public areas that my husband and I explored.

Dancing at night - Top of the Mark
Top of the Mark
We did enjoy a drink and the ambiance inside the Top of the Mark. But the prime reason for our particular visit was getting to see the fabulous panoramic views and being able to take these skyline pictures.
Had we been there a little later in the day and gotten to see the twinkling lights of the city, that also would have been a wonderful sight to behold. Of that I am certain. But my husband and I had other things on our planned agenda.
The Top of the Mark has wonderful live music and is a great place for dancing.
How many wedding proposals have taken place there over the years? Many would be my guess!

Skyline Pictures
An iconic building in the San Francisco skyline is the Transamerica Pyramid pictured below. It is centered in the Financial District and at the time of its completion in 1972 was one of the five tallest buildings in the world! It once housed the headquarters of the Transamerica Corporation...thus its name.
With crushed quartz on its exterior, it shines brightly against the blue sky and lapping waters of San Francisco Bay lying just beyond.
It is such a recognizable building that the Transamerica Pyramid has definitely become associated with San Francisco just like the Golden Gate Bridge.

Have you visited the Top of the Mark in San Francisco?
Below are a couple more cityscape photos taken while walking around the Top of the Mark lounge in the Mark Hopkins San Francisco hotel.
If my husband and I return to San Francisco it would be fun to return there and take skyline pictures at night. We did also enjoy a drink up there while viewing the mesmerizing scenery below and planning our days of vacation that were ahead of us.
Be sure and visit the Top of the Mark if you get a chance. Oh...and take your camera!

It is always a joy for an expectant mother to nurture her child in her womb. Therefore, it is not a surprise that she will experience frequent hormonal adjustments every now and then. However, danger lurks because pregnant mothers can contract gestational diabetes due to their elevated blood glucose levels. All females will experience hormonal changes while they are pregnant. Unfortunately, some will develop gestational diabetes because their pancreases are unable to produce enough insulin, so they will be overwhelmed by these changes and develop the disease in the process.
An unborn child in a placenta gets nutrients from his or her mother through the umbilical cord, but the hormonal changes can sometimes be pronounced that the mother develops a predicament called "insulin resistance." If a pregnant woman's elevated blood glucose levels are left untreated, she will develop the ailment. Furthermore, her child will manufacture excess insulin that will make him or her heavier aggravating the probability of a premature birth. Most of the time, a woman's blood glucose levels will normalize after she has given birth, but if she developed gestational diabetes during her pregnancy, type two diabetes will not be far behind.
For this reason, she has to embark on a gestational diabetes diet. It is not the end of the world for those who are afflicted with gestational diabetes. All they have to do is to stick to a gestational diabetes diet. This diet consists of three little fares and one can snack two or three times regularly in a daily basis. It is important that a sufferer must not forego any pickings or meals. A woman has to remember that a gestational diabetes diet requires her to consume fewer carbohydrates in the morning because insulin resistance is at its peak at this time.
It would be best for a woman to eat the right amount of carbohydrates, like crackers, pretzels, or cereals especially if she feels woozy in the morning. On the other hand, a gestational diabetes diet will discourage a woman to gorge on fatty food with all the trimmings as well as fried foodstuff that is loaded with grease. Instead, she should indulge on high-fiber foods like whole-grain breads, cereals, noodles, edible grains, produce and greens.
Furthermore, foods that have high sugar content and excess fat should be avoided by one who is afflicted with gestational diabetes. As part of this diet, it would also help if the person will gulp down eight glasses of water a day to flush out harmful toxins from the body. A medical specialist may also recommend prenatal supplements, mineral and vitamins for those who are heavy with child. Agestational diabetes diet will also include a considerable amount of calcium in the form of dairy products that are served four times a day. Calcium-rich foods that should be ingested by pregnant and post- natal patients are cereals that are unsweetened and ready to be consumed, milk, certain nuts, and green-leafy produce.
While undergoing a gestational diabetes diet, the worst thing that a pregnant woman could do is to guzzle heavy amounts of alcohol. Not only will her blood glucose levels spiral out of control, her baby will be deprived of healthy nutrients and become emaciated resulting in a premature delivery. A health care specialist may be of help if an alcoholic would-be mother wants to address her alcohol problem. Aside from alcohol, too much caffeine can be detrimental to a mother and her child's health. These beverages in limited amounts along with chocolate are fine, but must be only used in moderation.
Lastly, a gestational diabetes diet may incorporate the use of artificial sweeteners in a diabetes sufferer's diet, but a medical specialist should be consulted first on this issue.

Best way to showcase videos on youtube (with thumbnails)
Hey all,
I'm trying to show a youtube video box as well as thumbnails to click on to load a different video. All these videos are on my main channel and I haven't had any success with any plugins.
I would have liked to use NGG Video Extend because it can open videos in a light box in the same page. Well, it's supposed to, it doesn't actually work and the developers seemed to have ignored the problem. Another issue is I don't want to create a thumbnail every time I upload a video.
Embedding the playlist direct from youtube just plays all the videos in a youtube box, it doesn't give anything clickable to change the video to something else.
Ideally, I would like a youtube video box and some thumbnails for other videos below it so my users can click on them to change the video. All this without leaving my site.
Any suggestions/help?
- The topic 'Best way to showcase videos on youtube (with thumbnails)' is closed to new replies.

Professional Vacuum Tube Condenser Microphone
Classic Tube Sound
The sound of tubes is undeniably rich and smooth. At the heart of each of these mics is a hand-selected 12AX7 tube, which has been specifically designed to give these microphones their incredible sonic character. One advantage tube condensers have over their solid-state counterparts is they are not subject to the rapid rise of odd-order harmonics, which the ear perceives as highly unmusical. Even when subjected to high sound pressure levels, the T-1 and T-47 mics react in much the same way the human ear does.
T-1 and T-47 Have a Sensitive Side
Another advantage is that tube mics typically outperform transistor designs when it comes to subtle signal levels, such as environmental ambience. The T-1 and T-47 pick up every nuance of your performance, capturing an openly transparent slice of time and space — with just the right amount of tube warmth. Now you'll be able to justify that new set of strings for your acoustic guitar (because you'll hear the difference), and you'll marvel at the sparkling highlights coming off your wind chimes.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
Both of these mics feature a tight cardioid (heart-shaped) pattern, which reduces the pickup of sound from the sides and rear for improved source isolation. The included custom shock mount fits all standard microphone stands and provides further isolation from external sources of vibration, such as sounds transmitted through floor joists, outside traffic, etc.
Dedicated Power Supply
The included BEHRINGER PSU-T provides the supply voltage for the tube preamplifier and houses a LOW CUT switch that can be used to reduce the low frequency response, if so desired. The included 7-pin multi-core cable supplies power to the mic and routes the audio signal to the XLR socket on the PSU-T.

BEHRINGER and BUGERA products sold in Canada are covered under the MUSIC Group Limited warranty as described on www.behringer.com/support and www.bugera-amps.com/support.

Here's a trailer for a book written by (I told you, this is shamless name dropping) my friend Dave Cullen. I remember when the Columbine story first broke -- back before twitter or facebook or any of that -- it was an email popping in my box from Dave, who'd been living/studying in Colorado. Equally fascinated and horrified, he arrived on the scene, but didn't just walk away with easy, "Oh, you couldn't trust those trench coat mafia kids" answers. He knew then and there it wasn't that easy, and I've watched him for the past ten years digging into it. Myself and many of our other common friends have read his emails over the years, as he told us how he dug up the facts, how this was becoming a big part of his life.
He's getting the press/attention he deserves as this book is coming out. I'm happy to plug his book in my blog -- if only because I know how hard he's been working on it. And I'm also happy to plug it because it's an example of how vital GOOD journalism is. Cullen didn't just accept that it was the Trench Coat Mafia and that Cassie Bernall Said Yes. (uh, she didn't.). He went and got answers. He asked hard questions. For everybody who "hates the media" and thinks journalism is a lost art, I give you Dave Cullen's work.

White spring and other dances
First Bloom of the Spring!
Originally uploaded by V'ron
At least this wasn't hitting us Friday night, when Stella and I spent another lovely day at the Ballet. This was the biannual Genesis International competition, where Michael Pink invites three up and coming choreographers to come to Milwaukee, gives 'em each a third of his dance company, and they all get three weeks to come up with something. Winner gets 3K (whoop-de-do!) and the whole company next year to give us Milwaukeeans a world premier work. (Presumably, that will net them more than 3K).
They put this all in the Pabst Theatre, which is one of my favorite places in town to see a show anyway. There's not a bad seat in the house, and you can get a drink (Stella enjoyed a Shirley Temple) and take it to your seat. The voting this year was a little messed up, though. they gave us ballots, but only with numbers 1, 2, and 3 on them -- and then Michael Pink proceeded to tell us that the order for Friday was differen than the order for Thusrday and that 2 was really1 and, and, and, oh hell. We decided to go with the "cast your vote online" option, and I have this feeling that was the point. You were supposed to be confused by the paper ballot and go online to see their snappy new website and vote there. So we did.
Friday night's first performance was Eso, choreographed by New Zealand's Cameron Mc Millan. The music was by Ezio Bosso, a piece simply titled Violin Concerto, and maybe that Phillip Glass documentary on Ovation TV earlier in the day was sticking in my head, but the music did seem very Phillip Glass-ish. It was very athletic -- almost more gymnastic than ballet. McMillan even pointed out in his artist's statement that he's "interested in pure physicality as a vocabulary and form of expression in the human condition." So McMillan used this, I thought, very well in tangling his dnacers together and apart. Stella didn't like it. She's more into storytellers, and Eso might have been a little too ESOteric for her.
Her winner was the next offering, from Austrailian wunderkind Timothy O'Donnell, "The Games We Play." To say the music was a string of classic and well-known pieces (Tchaikovsky, Bach, Beethoven, Bizet, Grieg) wouldn't have captured the effect the music had. Several of the pieces were arranged (performed) by Woody Phillips, who I have learned as a result of this, is a master of making power tools musical. Stella liked it instantly -- there wasn't a standard plot storyline, but there were clearly characters, there was a sense of humor, and even Stella flipped out a bit at the end, when the romantic storyline took a surprise twist (hint: a little girl-on-girl action.). I loved it too, but I had to decide if I loved it because I also enjoyed the wonderful take on the music or not.
Finally, after yet another Shirley Temple (the bartender at the Pabst makes a lovely nonalcoholic mix, Stella and I will tell you), we had "City of the Shining Jewel" from european choreographer, Maurice Causey. The music was from Mikhail Karakis from his album "Morphica", and it just as well could have been the KLF from their album "Chill Out." This music -- and the dance that accompanied it -- was beyond ambient. The piece, like the music, was bits and pieces of this and that loosely strung together, with the dancers having spoken word parts. I'm sorry I'd read the artist's statement, because, it set me up against the piece: it was, um, kind of pretentious. It was like he was trying to cram every influence of his life into those 20 minutes, and the piece itself just seemed to be trying a little too hard to be "groundbreaking" and "intense." It didn't suck, and I didn't hate it, but it lacked a certain warmth that the two previous pieces had. Then, clearly in the middle of it, he gets a dancer to do a bit of Carmen's Habenera himself, but after O'Donnell's, it had the misfortune to be kind of pleading with the audience, "No, really, I can laugh at myself too! Really! Honest!" MAybe I would have liked it better if it was first, but after two really warm performances, this was a little too out there for me. (And I like the KLF -- I often use it to Chill Out.)
Needless to say, I was torn between Eso and The Games We Play, but Stella and I decided that she was clearly going to vote for "The Games We Play," and so I cast my vote for "Eso" so that we kind of canceled out each other. I'll be curious as to what the "official" judges think, as well as the audience vote, which I believe should be released tomorrow. I'm also looking forward to next season -- among the shows will be Cinderella and Peter Pan -- there's story for Stella.
Haven't seen a lot of bands lately. I'm still kind of recovering from that bout with strep I had, but I'm really looking forward to the debut of Dinah Flo and her Roadmasters on Wednesday at Frank's Power Plant. You may remember my raving about the fabulous Jessica from Skirt -- this is her new outfit, complete with her sweetie Chris "The Colonel" on guitar. No cover on Wednesday, either. And no, this is not an April Fools' joke.

Kids, Don't Let This Happen To You
Kids, Don't Let This Happen To You
Originally uploaded by V'ron
So, yeah, I spent some of the previous weekend taking in some St Patrick's Day debauchery (OK, I'm old: a couple of green beers and burning down a christmas tree is debauchery) but by Sunday a fever kicked in and by Tuesday I'm getting my thoat swabbed.
In the meantime, the Bucks kicked the Celtics' asses, Charlie Villanueva has become the Twitter Poster Child of the NBA after he got a tounge-lashing from coach about not tweeting during halftime. (If you can get past the stupid patronizing attitude from the panelists on the linked clip, most of whom don't know what they're talking about and thus try to make fun of it to prop themselves up, they actually make some good points about the futility of stopping a freight train: the tool is not the issue.) Well and good, but now everybody's noticing that CV31 has got game, which may be great for him, but also might up his asking price come contract negotiation time.
I don't know what bands I'm going to see this weekend. I have penicillin to take. So in the meantime, I give you this photograph of some clown who can't seem to get his butt out of 1997, but has taken this tired old look to literal new lows. As I captioned on Flickr, he's within 50 feet of a school to boot, where my children can see him. Fortunately, they had the good fashion sense to laugh at him, especially after I pointed out that the poor dear apparently is intentionally looking like this. "Don't let this happen to you," I told me sensible babies.

How to fill a room
Guitar Face
Originally uploaded by V'ron
And then I headed over to Liquor Sweets that night to catch a McTavish show (after putting down an obligatory Shamrock Shake, described by Stella as "What toothpaste would taste like if it were a milkshake."). McTavish does the Irish thing well. This was their first outing this season -- they only do this on a seasonal basis, as opposed to year round Irish bands like Athas or the Tossers. They're just getting warmed up, and they put out the sweet Irish tunes well. Thing is, the sweet Irish tunes isn't what I love about McTavish. I'm more of a fan of when they turn into rowdy Irish hooligans, belting out protest songs like "IRA" or whipping themselves into enough of a frenzy that covering the Clash's "London Calling" doesn't seem one bit out of place. So I'm going to have to catch them at McBob's or something (if only because I was convinced last year that McBob does serve up the best corned beef made in this town by somebody not named Jake).
On the same bill at Liquor Sweets that night was supposedly the last performance of the Velvet Underground Project, and I hope that's not true, but without the dancers, without the light show, they were simply OK. I still loved it, because it's the only band guitarist Dan Mullen plays in these days where he can really stretch out his talent and take his guitar places that a Buddy Holly audience just won't let him go.
Part of the reason for the retirement, I've heard, is that it's just not drawing. Well, the VU weren't a giant draw to begin with, but here's the thing. Those who know VU almost hold them sacred. The idea of a cover band, a tribute band going over the catalog of a band that pretty much invented "alternative, original" music -- well, that kind of cancels each other out, no? And let's face it, the VU project almost skates on the edge of parody, what with Mark Shurilla's Warhol wig (and is it a waste of bandwidth to point out the obvious that Warhol never performed with the VU, just made them famous?). When the VU Project shines, it's when they don't try to sound like the original VU Project, because they will fail. Moe Tucker was a percussionist that was fascinated with the idea of minimalist rhythm. Andy Pagel, on the other hand, is a friggin drummer obsessed with Keith Moon. John Cale was a composer/violinist that went to left field. Guest violinist Tommy Greywolf is a brilliant versatile fiddler who's played with the likes of Brooks and Dunn. Doug Yule was an OK guitar player; Dan Mullen is a psychedelic master. The orignal VU didn't have a keyboardist; Chris Loss is a longstanding session man who's played with some of the best experimental/jam bands inthe city (including the beloved Trance and Dance band). There is no way this assemblage is going to sound like the original VU. They shouldn't even try. So, here's my advice: Lose the wigs. Bring in the Paka Paka lightshow to do something very 21st Century. Bring in the dancers if possible. Lose the Nico wig -- Marlavous is about as far from Teutonic as can be, plus unlike Nico, she sings on key almost all the time. Overall, take the VU to the next level -- be inspired by them, not slaves to them. These are musicians that are capable of that, and at their best, they take the spirit of experiemntation that the VU started. If they do it consistently, they will get more of a following.
Next night, we hit a Bucks game, and once again, the anthem gave us a preview of what the game would be like. Some 14 year old girl with a voice twice her age started singing and halfway through, she choked. Just stopped. A few dickslaps laughed at her, but the rest of the crowd seemed sympathetic, as the woman sitting next to me called out, "Help her out..." Well, the girl gathered it up, and belted out the rest of the song, so that by the time of "Land of the free..." the crowd was cheering her on, and when she finished she got the loudest applause I've ever heard a BC audience give an anthem singer. And that's kind of what happened in the game. About halfway through, the Bucks started to choke, but they came back and the last minute or so we stayed only to savor the win.
We all know Bango's hurt: the schtick that's goins is that other NBA mascots are coming in to help out. Tonight was "G-Wiz" -- the mascot for the Washington Wizards. I can just picture going to, say a "Sports Mascot convention", and maybe all the NBA mascots get together for a seminar about what kind of ridiculous ways to slam dunk a shot in costume can be done. Bango would stand up and say, "Uh, guys, the thing where you stand up on top of the hoop itself? Don't try this at home court." But G-Wiz was good anyway, despite his silly name. At least "Bango" has a history behind him. And he was wonderful when "Seniorgee" took the court -- a bunch of older women who, off court, probably don red hats and loud purple dresses and don't care what people think. I want to join Seniorgee in a few years.
The Bucks can still go to the finals, as a cinderella, that's for sure. But I suspect that's not what's going to fill the stadium over the next few weeks. They're hustling the fan appreciation -- witness that both Charlie V and Bogut have twitter accounts (and @CV31 is really hustling the twittering.) They're working every avenue they have to connect with the fans.
We zipped back down to Liquor Sweets afterwards, because I'm trying to hustle some photography work with Brother Louie, but I only caught their last two songs (they hit the stage at 9:30 -- talk about early!) so I told 'em, next time, no charge tonight. Can't review them based on two songs, but the crowd seemed to like them, and knowing their setlist, they served precisely what their function was: warm up band. They warmed the crowd well for the headliner, a group of 80s headbangers aptly called Metal Men.
You know I'm not a true Metal gurl, but I had to love these guys. The lead singer brought to mind the Scoprions (I was waiting for "No One Like You") and the guitar player did all the schtick: noodling high up on the neck with finger picking both hands, apreggios up the waz, and guitar face every moment. And the lead singer joked and almost winked at the leather, lace, and badass audience that filled the upstairs of Liquor Sweets. Brian, who knows his metal, assured me that they took on Dio, the Scoprions, Ozzy, -- none of the hits, but the deep cuts that I'm sure the roomfull of proper headbanging metalheads appreciated.
We headed downstairs to the Globe South to see what was there, and what was there was a promising looking Cheap Trick tribute band called Cheap rick. (Rick NOT capitalized.) I'd review them, but they were on break. A 45-freaking minute break, I'd say. The seemed to have it all: two racks full of guitars (complete with a couple doublenecks) for the "Rick Nielsen", a rack full of basses for the "Tom Petersson", a stocky guy in a shirt and tie that I had to assume was the "Bun E Carlos" and I couldn't find the Robin to save my life. Why no review? Because, I waited some 25 minutes (and they'd been on break for 10) and then finally asked them, "So when are you going on?" They replied, "Oh, in about 10-15 minutes." Glancing at my watch, I'm realizing I have a sitter to pick up. Fine guys, be prima donnas and make people wait until midnight. WhatEVER. It's not like if people want to chat and get a beer they can't go into the front bar, so get up and play already. Playing is how you fill a room.

This Little Light of Mine
This Little Light of Mine
Originally uploaded by V'ron
The theme this past Thursday was Jazz -- and it's influence on American music in general. As my Sammy is in the K 3-4-5 class, they went first, changing an African tune as they took the stage, and then went into two precious spirituals accompanied with American Sign Language. I literally got choked up as they sang their hearts out on "This Little Light of Mine" with the sign language -- all these precious little kids, letting their light shine so brightly I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. They followed with an equally enthusiastic "You Gotta Sing When the Spirit Moves You" and I was floored. The K-5 kids were next, and accompanied themselves with tambourines and dances, singing The Blues (including a Rainy Day Blues that was apt.)
This school isn't big enough for a full orchestra program, but they're still teaching music theory basics via instruction on the recorder -- and Stella's class delivered some ragtime/dixieland in the form of the Riverboat Rag and Dixie Cat. Even at this point, Miss Barb challenged these kids to do a little improv, and in some cases, thes kids were only hampered by their own nervousness, but I was impressed to see that they're being challenged anyway. Plus, Miss Barb's keyboard accompanient had technical difficulties, so the kids were a little thrown off since they had to play their first song a little differently than they rehearsed. I really didn't notice a problem until that had been explained, and I tried to tell Stella it was fine. What Stella doesn't understand yet is that if the audience didn't notice a problem, then you did well -- that's showbiz, baby. But she was still upset that she didn't deliver 100%. She's a perfectionist.
Also impressive was the adolescent program, who took the stage with acoustic guitars, reading sheet music, and playing the melody for Sing Sing Sing. OK, they're not ready for the Tommy Dorsey orchestra, but after three months with a guitar, I was lucky if I could get through the chords for Blitzkrieg Bop, and to this day, I still can't read sheet music for a string instrument. Bravo kids.
But this is kind of a giveaway review. These kids could have gone onstage and sang the phone book out of key and I would have cheered. Mostly because they're MY kids (and my friends' kids, and my kids' friends, and let's not forget our Girl Scouts, who I've come to know and love this year), but also because I appreciate music that comes from the heart, delivered by people devoid of self consciousness or irony, people who wanted to deliver they best that they could do, yet challenge themselves. Sammy's pure joy warmed my heart, and Stella's drive for perfectionism made it burst with pride. Sorry, no criticism on this or pithy comments today. You'll have to wait another day for some Sixthstation snarkyness as I approach the weekend offerings.

Random Ramblings in March
Cat's Cradle with Mardi Gras Beads
Originally uploaded by V'ron
- Last I wrote, I was looking forward to Mardi Gras in Riverwest, and that did not disappoint. The Electric VooDoo Gris Gris band did indeed redeem themselves, and just generated an overall party atomophere at the first stop, the Uptowner. Eric Griswold, dressed in what I'm sensing is his official Mardi Gras outfit, complete with flashing lights, led the happy crowd down the street to the next stop.
- That next stop was Club Timbuktu, where Eat the Mystery was in fine form, doing their poor stage bit in a club well named for not only its African decor, but for delicious snacks. Admittedly, the fish soup Marlavous ordered took a bit long to be served, but it was worth the wait, and 9 pm on a Tuesday night isn't exactly when any kitchen is humming at top speed. ETM fit in wonderfully with all this, though: MArdi Gras is definitely a poor peoples' celebration, and ETM is are just a different kind of poor people. Angie is recovering well from a bicycle accident that took out some of her teeth, but she's no less lovely for it. The addition of Danny Price added a touch of Tom Waits to the mix, which, in a gumbo-like way, just seemed to work.
- Next stop: House of Frank n Stein. Great place, great dogs, but they'd run out of whiskey. Mark Shurilla and Bob Jorin both agreed: "What? No band? No whiskey? Outta here!" I helped Dave Alswager finish a a beer as well (I'm just not really a whiskey-drinkin gal, ever since that one night in college....) so we were behind them.
- Last stop, Linneman's, where we warmed up the room for the rest of the revelers that arrived about 45 minutes after us. That gave Sigmund Snopek and his able buddy (whose name shamefully escapes me) time to sing a few songs, and warm up the able buddy's Satchmo voice. Good thing too -- the rest of the crowd arrived and were welcomed to a racous trombone blowing, multi percussioned (albeit synthed, but still good) processional, which merged into a Riverwest take on "When the Saints Go Marching In." Excellent end to a Milwaukee pub crawl-cum-Mardi Gras. I wouldn't have it any other way.
- OK, here's the thing about the Bucks. their top two guys are out, and they're still contenders for the playoffs. They're losing a lot of games lately they should have won, but still... it's like watching Gonzaga or Valpo at the Tournament. You know they're not going to the final four, but like a powerball ticket you buy into it just in case. The other night the family hit the game (enduring an anthem from a high school choir that was so atrocious I'm not going to embarrass them by naming them: you know who you are and you are NOT ready for the big time) and had a good time, despite the fact that the New Jersey Nets did not win this game; the Bucks lost it. Oh, and fans, grow some class and quit with the booing Yi already. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's not like he screwed us royal or anything. You'd think he was Brett Favre the way he was booed.
- A quick kudos to the always helpful staff at the Bradley Center. A week ago Sunday Sammy and I were at the game, and in his excitement to get a couple of thundersticks (we sit in the section behind the opposing team's basket for the second half), he tripped and his cheek landed right on the concrete steps. Ouch. First reponsders were appropriately giving him the ice, but also related to him on his level and friendly. Well, when we arrived at the game this past Tuesday, the usher who first helped us out was taking tickets, saw Sammy, remembered him, and asked him how his cheek was. Sammy's used to be remembered by people, but I was genuinely touched at the concern.
- Tweeter @riverwest wants to know, and I do too: What the hell is Saylece's and why has it overtaken Riverwest Commons? The Accidental Wisconsinite spotted the fact that Rivewest Commons seems to be under new management, and she reports that there's a vague myspace posting saying it's no longer going to be a music club. I'm going to investigate this during my musical travels this coming weekend.
So, speaking of the upcoming weekend.....
- First, tonight, I see my favorite musicians in the world, my sweet Stella and Sammy. Tonight is their school's annual Winter Sing (and it's expanded to be basically Winter Music night). The theme this year is Jazz, and Sammy's been singing his class' offering all day, dropped names like Duke and Ella as though they were his contemporaries. So I'm a parent; the sound of my children's music is second only to their laughter as the sweetest sound in the world.
- Friday night I'm going to have to go on tour, there's just too many of my favorites and "what are they doing now" events happening. Scott Wooldridge and his brother are back in town, at Turner tonight to celebrate the release of their newest CD in a while, "Days Went Around." It's really good -- lots of that good folksy but strong power pop that doesn't skimp on good lyric writing. Binky Tunny is at Live on North avenue. The Julie B Well, featuring Julie Brandenburg, is at the Miramar with three other intense (and likely proggy) bands, so there will be no shortage of top musicianship there. And on my side of town, a double whammy of rare outings: McTavish and the Velvet Underground project at Liquor sweets. They share many of the same personnel, just different costumes.
- Saturday night is cover night. Right now, I'm torn between a fix of the 5 Card Studs (at the Ale House, always a fun place to catch them) and Brother Louie at Liquor Sweets. I'm still trying to confirm a Transistor Royale sighting (at Serb Hall?) but last I heard this might have been cancelled. I'll post again if I hear. In any event, the Bucks have a game that night; we do too, and boys, we need a win from you going into March Madness, or March will be mad, indeed.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a bazillion Girl Scout cookies to help my kid deliver.

Prostitutes in Brazil who were disappointed by the 'poor market' during the last 2014 World Cup in Brazil have launched a desperate 'supermarket price' in order to get a lot of customers during this summer's Olympic games to take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Sex workers in the city's notorious Red light district- Vila Mimosa zone, claim that despite high expectations in the run-up to the 2014 World Cup, business for them actually fell substantially, hence they've now reduced their prices.
With a month to go before the games, prostitutes have prepared flyers and adverts written in English urging tourists, footballers and the general public to accept their 'juicy' offer of 40 reals (£9)- for 30 minutes of sex, 60 reals (£13) for 1hour of sex while a threesome is priced at 40 reals (£9) per girl for half an hour, and 80 reals (£18) for an hour.
Long-term prostitute Aline Docinha, 39, told the UK DailyMail that they do not want to see a repeat of the World Cup, when business actually dropped.
She said: 'We were all expecting so much from the World Cup, because everyone told us demand would be huge. We all thought we'd make a fortune.
'We put big TV screens in the road for the men to watch football, we put on barbeques, and Brazilian music parties.
'But hardly anyone turned up. During the World Cup the road was virtually empty. I think the foreigners were scared to come to a place like this, which isn't close to the beaches or hotels. And they were probably afraid of catching something too.
'There were a few Argentinians and Uruguayans, but they didn't have much money and tried to bargain right down. Even our regular Brazilian clients didn't show up, they were too interested in watching the football.
'But this time around we're under no illusions. We know we'll be forgotten during the Olympics, just like we were during the World Cup.
That's why we're being proactive. We just want to make enough to pay our bills.'
Aline, who has worked in the red light district for 12 years, says before Brazil's economic crisis, she used to get over 6 customers a day but now gets less than two people a day.
She added: 'Even then, they try to bargain the price down. There are days that I go home without having made a single centavo. Many Brazilians who used to come here don't have money to spend anymore.'
'There are women here for every taste, black, white, chubby, mature, whatever you like. You can walk around and take your time until you find the one you like the most.
'And just like any supermarket, we've now got some great deals and we're cutting our prices. There's no other place in Rio like it. Take a bit of time while you're here to come here.'
The Vila Mimosa is Rio's oldest and largest prostitution zone, where over 3,000 women offer their services in more than 70 bars and nightclubs situated around a marketplace.

It's hard to fathom why guys think they have the right to comment (loudly!) on women's bodies on the street. One woman is holding a mirror up to this ignorant behavior, with video clips that show just how prevalent street harassment is.
Cards Against Harassment is the brainchild of "Lindsey," an anonymous Minneapolis woman fighting back against comments tossed so regularly at women on the street.
"The street harassment my friends and I encounter tends to take the form of brief but frustrating interactions: comments made just as men pass by on the street, over so quickly you rarely have a chance to respond. Just as frustrating as the harassment itself is the feeling of powerlessness that comes with not having had a chance to defend yourself or convey how the harassment affects you."
Ladies, you know exactly what she's talking about. And guys, just ask any woman; this happens all. the. time.
Lindsey developed card women can hand out to street harassers that exposes their behavior for what it is: inappropriate and unwelcome.
Naturally, the haters started hitting back almost immediately. All of the usual insults were there against Lindsey's sexual, threats to hurt her, accusations of being a man-hater (see her FAQ for an excellent takedown.) But with every video and tweet, she shows how street harassment hits at women.
New vid today. After I handed him a card he mentioned his 6 sisters & admits he wouldn't like it for them. Progress! http://t.co/vN66AOPimG — CardsAgstHrsmt (@CardsAgstHrsmt)

Before I got here some of the users have been able to surf the internet through our terminal server, since then we have completely restricted access to the internet on the terminal server, and locked down most people to a specific program.
However since there were users surfing the internet previously, I am a little bit worried about spyware, etc. Has anyone dealt with this?
My questions are as follows:
Does anyone have an anti-spyware scanning program installed on a terminal server? if so have you run into any issues.
Has anyone used online scanners such as TrendMicro's Housecall, and had any success or failure with that?

text: Culture 11 October 2011 Autumn Sign up for our weekly email * September: the heart sinks a little, the light dims, evenings draw in and there is every reason to feel self-pityingly mournful. Helpfully, there is nothing I enjoy more than feeling self-pityingly mournful, so I don't mind. Melancholics love autumn. Keats wrote an ode for the season, and Verlaine excelled himself with his "Chanson d'automne": "The long sobs/Of the violins/Wound my heart/With a monotonous/Languor." It would be enough to make you hoot, if it weren't so eye-crossingly depressing. The point is whether you take comfort from sadness, or find it repellent. I strongly recommend the first approach - it makes the season infinitely more bearable. It was only recently that we began to use the word "autumn". When I say recently I mean the 16th century, but in etymological terms that's five minutes ago. Before "autumn" we called it "harvest", an obvious reference to the season's chief activity. Harvest somehow seems like a pastime of a former age, one in which milkmaids were seduced by poetically inclined farmhands and people sang in the fields before clinking mugs of warm beer in the evening sun. I remember the harvest festival at primary school - we dutifully brought in cans of baked beans and left them at the local church in some sort of baffling (at least to a class of six-year-olds), 20th-century emulation of an ancient tradition. It all seemed out of date. I'm glad we switched to autumn for the word's sake, too - it has more mystery than harvest, with that strangely silent "n" at the end, which changes the way it feels in your mouth. The word comes from the Latin autumnus (origin unknown) and, unlike the American "fall", it describes precisely nothing about the season. All in all, it's a puzzle. But I wonder why, when the time came to ditch "harvest", no one considered co-opting the old Irish term. It's a wonderful word - fogamar - meaning "under-winter". Perhaps, though, that definition unfairly diminishes a season rich in its own associations - the leaves, the back-to-school dread, the smell of woodsmoke and toast. Autumn is much more than just a precursor to winter. As Keats declared to the season, "thou hast thy music too".

"Fantastic treatment for my son from the Consultant..."

Posted by Anonymous
My son had surgery after attending A&E. The service we received was fantastic, the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and caring and the environment clean and pleasant and appropriate for a teenager - in A&E , theatres and on ward 12S. I could not have asked for any better service. Thank you very much to all involved.
