One of Canada's preeminent jazz artists, Mike Downes' introduction to the bass arrived early when as an eight-year-old he was encouraged to take up the instrument by his bass-playing father. After being honoured with a Jazz Musician of the Year award at Silver Heights Collegiate in Winnipeg, Downes went on to earn a Bachelor of Music degree at McGill University and a Masters degree in Music Composition at York. Establishing himself as a bandleader, he formed the Mike Downes Quartet in 1994 and in the years since has released a number of albums, including the 2004 trio set The Winds of Change and two 2013 recordings, the 2014 JUNO award-winning Ripple Effect, with pianist Robi Botos and drummer Ethan Ardelli, and In the Current, an ambitious large-ensemble project featuring an eleven-piece chamber jazz group. His most recent release is the terrific Root Structure, which features the leader alongside Botos, guitarist Ted Quinlan, and drummer Larnell Lewis. When not playing with artists such as Molly Johnson, Chris Potter, Lorne Lofsky, Pat Metheny, Peter Erskine, and Dave Liebman, Downes mentors young musicians in his role as the Bass Department Head at Humber College, with which he's been affiliated since 2000. textura had a chance to speak with the now Toronto-based bassist on the eve of Root Structure's release.
1. You've been active in the Canadian music scene as a bassist, arranger, composer, and educator since the 80s. Did you have any particular models or inspirations you patterned yourself after when your career began, and have those models or inspirations remained the same or been replaced by others?
When I was first starting to improvise, I was drawn to melodic players like Sonny Rollins, Clifford Brown, and Bill Evans. I loved the spirit they brought to the music. One of the first jazz bassists I listened to a lot was Paul Chambers, and then Ray Brown, Scott LaFaro, Ron Carter, and many others. I spent a lot of time with headphones on, immersing myself in whatever I was listening to. I've always kept my ears open to everything, and because of that, I continue to stay inspired by the great players and music out there.
2. On Root Structure you're joined by pianist Robi Botos, guitarist Ted Quinlan, and drummer Larnell Lewis, all of them ideal collaborators. What are the things you primarily look for in the musicians you play with, whether live or in the studio? And how has your approach to playing the bass changed (if it has) since when you began playing professionally?
The most important thing for me is listening and connecting with the musicians I play with. These guys are some of the greatest players on the planet, and not just because they are masters of their instruments. Each of them listens on a deep level and transcends his instrument to create music collectively. On that note, if I could make any self-assessment about how my bass playing has changed, it's that I think less and less about the bass and what I'm doing. I've learned to trust my instincts and to react according to the sound of the moment.
3. Among the standout compositions on Root Structure are Heart of the Matter, which to these ears exudes a rather Metheny-esque character, and Prelude & Variations, which evokes the stately beauty of a Charlie Haden ballad. Do you consciously try to prevent the influence of other artists from seeping into your music, whether it be in the writing or playing, or is that something you don't concern yourself with?
I can't think of any artist throughout history who hasn't been influenced by other artists, so I don't worry about that. In the tunes you mentioned, I didn't intentionally try to sound like them, but I admire Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden greatly, so I'll take that as a compliment.
4. A few years ago you undertook an in-depth study of large ensemble writing that included the work of Gil Evans and Maria Schneider prior to the release of your 2014 chamber jazz recording In the Current. What specifically did you take away from your study of those artists?
Great question! Gil was able to create music that is timeless. He was of course influenced by Duke Ellington and other arrangers, but he learned to shape sound in his own way. In studying his music, I became much more aware of the importance of sound' in my own writing and orchestrating; I learned to take the time to really listen to the music in my head and to bring it to fruition.
One of the many things that I took away from Maria's music is her incredible ability to make a piece grow organically, to feel like everything that happens is inevitable. Listening to their music definitely influenced my compositional approach on Root Structure.
5. So many jazz musicians gravitate to New York or decamp to Europe yet you've called Canada home throughout your career. Was there ever a moment when you considered making the move, and if so what was it that made you decide to stay where you are?
I've come close to moving to New York a few times, but I love Canada too much to leave! I've been to New York and Europe many times, and in fact just spent a week this summer playing in the Signature Theatre in NYC. New York and Europe have incredible scenes, but then so does Toronto. Toronto is a multicultural city full of world-class musicians, there is strong support for the arts (Root Structure was in part funded by the Ontario Arts Council), I teach at one of the top music schools in the world (Humber College), and I love the open space and solitude that I can find in Canada.

Hit a Central Valley beach for warm sun and cool water
Just about everyone who lives in Northern California is familiarwith the region's ocean-beach experience. First you set up yourtowel and apply sunscreen, despite the complete absence of sun.Then you venture into the water up to your ankles, and your feetpromptly go numb. When you attempt to retreat to your towel, youfind it has blown away. Time to give up and go get some hotchocolate.
Turns out it's a lot more fun to go to the beach in an areawhere it really is summer. In the Central Valley, it's sunny justabout every day from May to October, and it's so hot you'llactually want to get in the water. A plethora of rivers andreservoirs ― many of them uncrowded, especially on weekdays― means that a cool swim and the chance to lounge on a towelon the sand aren't far from the area's major highways.
One of our favorite spots is Lodi Lake, which has a well-runpublic beach, lifeguards, and a wading pool for kids. Though thelake is manmade, the oak-ringed setting couldn't be prettier. TheMokelumne River feeds Lodi Lake, so the water's plenty clean.
Info: Lodi Lake's swimming beach is open Tue-Sun (from $2per person; 1101 W. Turner Rd., Lodi; exit I-5 at Turner, about 10miles north of Stockton, and follow it east about 4 miles to thepark).

How Do I Make A Buttercream Kitchen Cake
Decorating By Classycupcakes Updated 17 Mar 2013 , 1:37pm by yortma
AMy weddings coming up in two months and I planned on making a small three tier elaborate cake, however reality has hit that I'm just not going to have enough time. So have got some dummy cakes left over from my business so I'm going to make those as my cake so I can do it well in advance. My question is how do I make a buttercream kitchen cake in buttercream? I have never buttercream iced a cake as I only use fondant.
Many thanks
i don't understand what you are asking
just put a little more buttercream than you would ordinarily and don't put the fondant on
you didn't use bc under the fondant or between the layers?
just turn the cakes out onto boards and build them up like any other cake
not sure what you mean
i know sometimes even though we are in the business some weddings are just overwhelming and that's that
my son's wedding was like that
i planned it out and began workibg on it months in advance making flowers and bladeeblablabla
took days off work well in advance and that week--had plenty of time
and i just hummed along fully consistently overwhelmed and i was so last minute i was a wreck
it all came together somehow
but i could not edit--they gave me full reign and it was too much
is that what you mean maybe?
you can't decide on anything because you're trying to do too much maybe??
It sounds as if you are an experienced baker and you probably know much more about this than I do! I made 4 kitchen cakes in addition to a 3 tiered cake for large event last year. Not nearly the same as doing a cake for your own wedding, which I think is totally ambitious and amazing for those of you who do it! Because I knew the main cake would need the most of my last minute time, I tried to make the kitchen cakes as easy and as early as possible. 2 were raspberry lemonade - lemon cake, lemon curd, raspberry filling, and lemon buttercream, and 2 were oreo cookie - devil's food cake with ganache, cookies and cream filling and chocolate buttercream. Each was 4 cake layers, 3 layers of filling, and 11 x 14".
This was my timeline:
Ahead of time:
make cakes and freeze
Make a lot of buttercream (IMBC) without flavoring and freeze.
make cookies and cream filling without cookies and freeze (I used fluffy american buttercream for filling).
Make lemon curd a few days in advance
Day before:
Make any fillings or curds that cannot be frozen or made in advance (I now know my raspberry filling freezes and can be made earlier)
make ganache
Defrost frostings and fillings early in the day. (Make sure IMBC is fully at room temp before using).
Defrost cakes.
Rewhip and add chocolate/flavorings/liqueurs/curds to IMBC.
Chop oreos and mix into filling
Fill and crumb coat cakes. Refrigerate until crumb coat is set.
The night before or the morning of the event:
apply final coat of buttercream
Decorate with simple piped borders or as desired
Time left over to be pampered! Congratulations!

fvOptions (RotorDiskSource). How read from File?
Hi all,
I am playing with the new rotorDisk source implemented into OF2.2.x and apart from some code modification because a minor bug when converting a vector field from Cartesian coordinates to Cylindrical coordinates ( bug reported and pending to analyze), I am trying to introduce the polar curves and blade geometry using file but I can not.
The code below works and the geometrical information and polars are correctly read but I do not know to modify rotorDisk dict to introduce the information required using external files.
Best Regards
2 Attachment(s)
I also noticed a problem with cylindrical coordinate transformation when I wanted to use a rotorDiskSource not aligned with coordinate system in a uniform freestream flow. The rotorForce field solution was not asymmetric as expected.
I added these lines add the end of Foam::fv::rotorDiskSource::constructGeometry() :
Best regards.
Hi Laurent
In this vector :
vector localForce = vector( 0.0, -f*Cd*cos(alphaEff)-tipFactor*f*Cl*sin(alphaEff), tipFactor*f*Cl*cos(alphaEff)-f*Cd*sin(alphaEff));
you are using effective angle of attack, should this not be
just angle of attack calculated earlier as :
atan2(-Uc.z(), Uc.y());
Please comment
Hi all,
Laurent, All
In OF2.3.0 and above it seems that the line should be:
vector Uc = coordSys_.R().R().T() & U[cellI];
The same for the last line you posted.
I have not check the code, but one question:
R tensor put in relation global to local or local to global?
Why is firstly the inverse tensor and not in the opposite side? :
vector Uc = coordSys_.R().R() & U[cellI];
Antar, I think It should be:
scalar inflowAngle = atan2(Uc.z(), Uc.y());
vector localForce = vector(0.0, -f*Cd*cos(inflowAngle)+tipFactor*f*Cl*sin(inflowAngle), tipFactor*f*Cl*cos(inflowAngle)+f*Cd*sin(inflowAngle));
Selection of cells with a cellSet
In case the rotor plane would not be aligned with the mesh axis, the selection of cells using cellSet may not be "perfect". In some locations, we could have one cell, two cells or no cells for a specific radius and psi.
In some case, it is not easy to change the mesh for every rotor disk axis. So, how can it be solve? Is the rotorDiskSource prepared for those cases? The area_ of each cell is calculated but I do not understand completely the code. Sorry.
Updated: The bug about the coordinate system issue has been resolved on 2.3.x using a new tensor. I have not checked yet if the solution is the same
Hi Marcelino,
But I think you should be able to do the same with snappyHexMesh using refinementCylinder.
I will test it soon.
Hi Laurent,
I usually use ICEM HEXA for meshing but due to the fact that I want to use this code for wind turbine simulation in complex terrains/ wind direction, I would not want to change the overall grid for every wind direction/rotor misaligment.
I will give a try to snappy or foamyHexMesh.
Please, it would be great if you could you give us some feedback about the R() tensor and localForce vector issues? Post#4
vector Uc = coordSys_.R().T() & U[cellI]; => rotation and translation to local coordinate system (cartesion to cartesian)
Uc = Rcyl_[i] & Uc; => rotation to the cylindrical coordinate system (cartesian to cylindrical)
Note that Rcyl is different for each cell in the rotor cellZone since each cell has a different theta ...
It is the same operations in reverse order to convert back local force into global coordinate system.
Hope this helps.
Hi Laurent, All:
I have been running a wind turbine simulation and making some comparisons with a Blade Element Code. When running with a TI=10%, the forces distribution are quite similar to BEM (1% lower) but when running with a TI=1% ( keeping turbulent length scale and wind velocity), the power is lower by 20% approximately wrt BEM.
Did you see this issue or do you think about why this could happen?
UPDATED: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post495673
Because forces are applyed directly over cell centers, it seems like it could created wiggles on the U and p field near the cell of interest.
Best Regards
Could someone help me to implement body forces in a different way to the conventional approach ( Ueqn)?
Hi Marcelino,
Would you be so kind as to point me out to a tutorial or example to set up the rotorDisk, I am also traying to work out how to use rotorDisk to model a helicopter main rotor.
Thank you
Juan Carlos

I am trying to use the rotorDisk from openfoam 2.3.x but get wrong solutions.
Firstly, the resulting rotorforce vectors seems completly wrong if the rotor is not in the direction of the Z axis.
Secondly, if the rotor axis is the Z axis, the axial component (Z) of the rotorForce seems okay'ish. But,the drag component of the rotordisc is not good on both X and Y as the picture attached shows.
I have read the starting of the thread describing errors in the shift from the cartesian global coordinate system to the local cylindrical coordinate system, but it seems the code changed since then. It is now done through the following line in the rotordiskSourceTemplates.C:
// velocity in local cylindrical reference frame
thank you,
rotorDiskSource for tank mixing
Hi all,
I'm trying to use the rotorDiskSource to simulate a propeller for tank mixing (~100,000L). Has anybody used it for similar simulations or are there concerns why it couldn't be used for it? Simulations are already running in simpleFoam but I'd like to get transient solutions in twoPhase simulations with interFoam also. Any shared experience would be greatly appreciated.
I am also stuck at the same issue. If you know how to simulate a propeller case please help me.
I am attempting to do the same simulation. I am investigating three options to do so : adding a source term, actuationDiskSource ou rotorDiskSource.
Have you managed to do it ? If yes, what was your strategy ?
Thanks for sharing !

NZTA data confirms slower commute into Wellington from Paekakariki since Kapiti expressway opened
The average morning commute from Paekakariki into Wellington has increased by 10 minutes since the Kapiti Expressway opened to traffic, according to new data.
But while the morning grind into the capital is now worse for some travelling on State Highway 1 south of Paekakariki, those using the new $630 million expressway further north, between Paekakariki and Peka Peka, are shaving a good five minutes off their travel times, the New Zealand Transport Agency says.
Data from the agency, obtained by the Green Party, shows the average travel time heading south between Paekakariki and Wellington's CBD was 63 minutes during peak hour on weekdays between the expressway's opening day of February 24 and March 30.
That same journey took an average of 53 minutes in 2016 and an average of 44 minutes in 2008.
* Motorists say Kapiti Expressway has 'doubled' their commute
* Expressway's toll on Kapiti businesses
* What does a $630m expressway buy? Nine sweet minutes
* Traffic finally flows on $630m Kapiti expressway
* Speed limits to drop on roads around expressway
Since the four-lane expressway opened, some Kapiti Coast commuters have complained it has doubled their commute time into Wellington.
That is largely because vehicles travelling between Peka Peka and Paekakariki now have an extra lane and aren't being slowed down by traffic lights or intersections any more. It means they are arriving at Paekakariki a lot earlier, and at the same time, which has worsened the traffic bottleneck where the expressway connects to the old two-lane SH1.
The four-lane Transmission Gully motorway will eventually connect Paekakariki to Wellington's northerns suburbs, but it is not scheduled for completion until April 2020.
Raumati Beach resident Neels Du Plessis said his commute into the capital had increased by about half an hour.
He used to hit the road about 6:20am, but since the expressway opened he has been jumping into his car at 6am to beat the traffic.
The "only solution" to the congestion problem would be to make commuter trains cheaper and more comfortable, he said.
"It's just too inconvenient to take the train [at the moment]. That's why people take the car.
But Waikanae resident Josh Fallon, who carpools into Wellington with two others, said the new expressway had shortened their journey by about 10 minutes, saving them $25 a week in fuel.
"Some people say the expressway creates more traffic, but if people knew how to merge properly there wouldn't be any traffic," he said. "It's been a complete help."
Green Party transport spokeswoman Julie Anne Genter said more roads led to more traffic, and she did not expect Transmission Gully to fix the problem.
"We'll just see more traffic on the road and bigger bottlenecks further south [in Wellington] at Tawa and coming into the Terrace Tunnel."
She agreed with Du Plessis and said investment in more frequent and affordable trains was the answer.
Neil Walker, the transport agency's Wellington highways manager, said reductions of about five minutes had been seen in journeys along the new expressway, while evening peak delays for northbound traffic had reduced significantly.
He pointed out the traffic data for the expressway was from a five-week period between February and March, when travel times tended to be relatively high, and was being compared to a 12-month period that included quieter periods, such as school holidays.
When assessing the benefit of a new piece of roading infrastructure, it was important to focus travel times across the wider road network throughout the entire day, not just during peak hours, he said.

UPDATE: It is your civic duty to serve on a jury in your community.
"I'm thinking I must have missed that, then you feel guilty and that's what kind of lures you in you think okay I did miss something," Wilcox said.But scammers are taking advantage of people like Wayne Wilcox asking for a different call to action.
"We can send a couple deputies to your house and they can bring you down we can book you from anywhere from six hours to 72 hours. This is a Saturday afternoon, I'm freaking out, what have I done?" Wilcox said.On Saturday, Wilcox got a call from a local 423 number. The person on the other line said he was from the sheriff's office and informed him he missed jury duty and owed a thousand dollars.
"It sounded very legitimate, he mentioned a judge's name, but the judge's name did not sound for familiar in this county, so that was one of the red flags right there," Wilcox added.But it's a hoax and he isn't the only one to think the call is real at first. The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office is warning the community of similar ones in the area and why they say it's best to just hang up.
"He's going to call other people, I'm sure he's got a whole list somebody's gonna fall for it and that's the worst part someone's going to fall for it and be out $1000," Wilcox said.It is this message Wilcox hopes to share with others so they don't become a victim.
Law enforcement says they'll never contact you over the phone to ask for money, but if you ever have any question you should contact the agency directly to verify.
The sheriff's office says store employees can also play a role in spotting scams like these by alerting managers if a person is buying large amounts of money cards at the checkout.
PREVIOUS STORY: The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office is alerting citizens that once again our community is being targeted by a scam involving parties claiming to be employees of either a law enforcement agency or a general Hamilton County government office.
The caller and/or message states that the person or person(s) have failed to show up for jury duty or have failed to pay bond fees. The fraudulent party is also claiming that unless the party calls a number and sends money via a money order, warrants will be issued leading to an arrest or heavy fines will be imposed.
HCSO spokesman Matt Lea says the Sheriff's Office is encouraging any resident who is contacted via phone from any law enforcement agency or general Hamilton County government office to never send money over the phone without verifying the agency's legitimacy.
Lea says all Hamilton County government offices and the HCSO communicate via mail and registered mail and will never solicit funds over the phone. This includes the Internal Revenue Office (IRS) as well.
Scams are not new to our community and can come in a variety of ways. The HCSO tries to offer alerts to the public when specific scams start to affect our community.
Commercial scams can also be difficult to recognize. For more information on commercial scams, please contact your local Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Jorge Lorenzo will undergo a medical check on Saturday morning to ascertain if he can race in the Dutch Grand Prix just two days after fracturing his collarbone.
The reigning MotoGP world champion sustained the injury in a violent practice crash on Thursday.
Despite initial indications that he would be ruled out for the rest of the weekend, Lorenzo flew to Barcelona for overnight surgery and is open to competing in the race.
Because Lorenzo was fastest on Thursday morning in the only dry full-length practice session, he was officially entered in Q2.
That means that he was awarded 12th on the grid in his absence, so does not have to start at the back.
The Spaniard had a plate and screws inserted into his collarbone in the operation.
Cal Crutchlow took Assen pole on Friday for the Tech 3 Yamaha team.
Lorenzo's main title rival Dani Pedrosa crashed late in qualifying and is fifth on the grid, while his Honda team-mate Marc Marquez sustained fractures of his own in a Friday practice accident before qualifying second.

Redmond Earthpaste Toothpaste
Review (1)
This toothpaste is incredible! It's made with 5 simple ingredients — clay, salt, essential oils, water, and xylitol. It's free of harmful ingredients such as fluoride, SLS, and glycerin. It gives me the cleanest and shiniest teeth after brushing with it. My teeth look like I just left the dentist's office! The flavor is mild and subtly sweet, yet refreshing. The ingredients in the toothpaste all work together to strengthen tooth enamel by remineralizing your teeth. I've noticed a decrease in tooth sensitivity since beginning using the paste. My teeth and gums look and feel healthy! I couldn't be happier with the product, and recommend it to everyone to try!

Sex is a how-to topic. There are hundreds of manuals on how to have explosive, amazing, earth-shattering sex. There are exercise books for the muscles used during sex, cookbooks for meals that increase your desire, books about low sex drive, high sex drive, and everything in between. And yet, in most of these manuals, there is usually one small chapter about sexual health. In this age of breakthrough discoveries about potency and infection, new drugs to combat the full range of sexually transmitted diseases, new technologies for contraception and genital health - there is no single volume that fully explains this extremely important aspect of all the incredible sex going on: sexual health an...
While acknowledging Hannah Arendt's keen philosophical and political insights, Kathryn T. Gines claims that there are some problematic assertions and oversights regarding Arendt's treatment of the "Negro question." Gines focuses on Arendt's reaction to the desegregation of Little Rock schools, to laws making mixed marriages illegal, and to the growing civil rights movement in the south. Reading them alongside Arendt's writings on revolution, the human condition, violence, and responses to the Eichmann war crimes trial, Gines provides a systematic analysis of anti-black racism in Arendt's work.
Hannah Arendt first argued the continuities between the age of European imperialism and the age of fascism in Europe in 'The Origins of Totalitarianism'. This text uses Arendt's insights as a starting point for further investigations into the ways in which race, imperialism, slavery and genocide are linked.
Should we view moments of democratic failure as revealing the failure of democracy, or as revealing a contested, contingent failing that could have been otherwise? This is the question that Lida Maxwell examines via exploration of three writers' diagnoses of, and responses to, democratic failure in three sets of trial writings: Edmund Burke's writings on the Warren Hastings impeachment in late 18th century Britain, Emile Zola's writings on the Dreyfus Affair in late 19th century France, and Hannah Arendt's writings on the Eichmann trial in 1960s Israel.
In this stimulating collection of studies, Dr. Arendt, from the standpoint of a political philosopher, views the crises of the 1960s and early '70s as challenges to the American form of government. The book begins with "Lying in Politics," a penetrating analysis of the Pentagon Papers that deals with the role of image-making and public relations in politics. "Civil Disobedience" examines the various opposition movements from the Freedom Riders to the war resisters and the segregationists. "Thoughts on Politics and Revolution," cast in the form of an interview, contains a commentary to the author's theses in "On Violence." Through the connected essays, Dr. Arendt examines, defines, and clarifies the concerns of the American citizen of the time.--From publisher description.
What single person hasn't suffered? Everyone, it seems, must be (or must want to be) in a couple. To exist outside of the couple is to assume an antisocial position that is ruthlessly discouraged because being in a couple is the way most people bind themselves to the social. Singles might just be the single most reviled sexual minorities today. Single: Arguments for the Uncoupled offers a polemic account of this supremacy of the couple form, and how that supremacy blocks our understanding of the single. Michael Cobb reads the figurative language surrounding singleness as it traverses an eclectic set of literary, cultural, philosophical, psychoanalytical, and popular culture objects from Plat...
Cecilia Sjöholm reads Hannah Arendt as a philosopher of the senses, grappling with questions of vision, hearing, and touch even in her political work. Constructing an Arendtian theory of aesthetics from the philosopher's fragmentary writings on art and perception, Sjöholm begins a vibrant new chapter in Arendt scholarship that expands her relevance for contemporary philosophers. Arendt wrote thoughtfully about the role of sensibility and aesthetic judgment in political life and on the power of art to enrich human experience. Sjöholm draws a clear line from Arendt's consideration of these subjects to her reflections on aesthetic encounters and the works of art mentioned in her published writings and stored among her memorabilia. This delicate effort allows Sjöholm to revisit Arendt's political concepts of freedom, plurality, and judgment from an aesthetic point of view and incorporate Arendt's insight into current discussions of literature, music, theater, and visual art. Though Arendt did not explicitly outline an aesthetics, Sjöholm's work substantively incorporates her perspective into contemporary reckonings with radical politics and their relationship to art.
In the first philosophical book on forgiveness from an explicitly feminist point of view, Kathryn Norlock discusses the critical importance of attending to gender when analyzing and recommending forgiveness in practice. Norlock revises the definition and nature of forgiveness and forgivers, showing that forgiveness is multidimensional and can be shown in many different ways.

This morning was filled with an appreciation for things that can go uncelebrated: sleeping in, a contemplative cup of coffee and then another without any sense of rush, and a day's agenda completely without ambition.
The morning scene was different a few days ago as I prepared to depart for the Khumbu Ice Fall and a move to Camp 1. I was up and moving at 1:00 AM, wide awake and without time or desire for coffee, and I had eight hours of hard work ahead to follow a single line of rope 2,000 vertical feet up a waterfall of snow and ice.
The Khumbu Ice Fall demands respect, sobriety and focus; I approached with a full measure of all three. In addition, I approached with a forced sense of confidence and a comfort in knowing that my climbing partner, Pemba Sherpa, would be there to help me. I also prayed. It is often said that climbing Mt. Everest is as much a mental exercise as it is physical and the Khumbu Ice Fall is a test of both. As I travelled through the Ice Fall I had to maintain a sense of courage and stay completely focused on only the immediate next few steps knowing that otherwise the task could unravel into something overwhelming. It helped that for the first half of the climb I could only see as far ahead as what was illuminated by my headlamp.
Pemba and I climbed together in a way that words were not necessary. For most of the climb we were alone, working together step-by-step, accepting whatever challenges were presented along our path. As morning light emerged and I could see the full environment there was a sense of momentum and a boost of confidence that had come from the predawn work. It was a wonderful experience to be so focused in a place of incredible beauty.
I recall seeing a four section vertical ladder and very intentionally rejecting any sense of fear, but rather approaching the task rung-by-rung confident more in the safety lines than the wavering ladders.
As the morning progressed we continued our work. I soon realized that we were in an area of the Ice Fall known as the Popcorn–due to the ice features creating an uncanny resemblance to a bowl of popcorn–and I thought that it was the last major obstacle for the day.
Once we emerged from the Popcorn we were on the home stretch and after seven hours of full-on climbing I let my guard down just a bit. It was premature.
I soon discovered there was one last obstacle: a 200 foot vertical ice wall that required a tremendous amount of effort to overcome. There was a back up of climbers. It was a heartbreaker, but it gave way a step at a time. I soon emerged on the top of the vertical ice wall and could see Camp 1. I gave thanks realizing that we had made it through the Ice Fall.
I thought about the Ice Fall and the life lessons that it offers as I had my second cup of coffee this morning. I will make two more round-trips through the Ice Fall on my journey to the summit and then home safely to my family.
I look forward to more lessons learned.
Thanks for following along.

Social problems that exist today are inflamed by fathers not being supported properly throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. There is an apparent "snowball effect" beginning with early untreated emotional problems early on and ending with as one or several greater problems such as substance abuse, time spent in prison time, and unemployment. The lack of support early on for fathers leads to increased stress and emotional disturbances early on in pregnancy. These untreated disturbances lead into perinatal and postpartum depression. Unaddressed depression or mental health problems can lead to increased substance abuse, unemployment, physical health issues, and possible criminal convictions.
Studies have demonstrated that fathers who are depressed are significantly more likely to be unemployed, poor physical health, have spent time in jail, or have abused substances in the past month compared with fathers who are not depressed (Bronte, Moore, Matthews, & Carrano, 2007; Stover, Urdahl, & Easton, 2012; Rosenthal, Learned, Liu, & Weitzman, 2013). These studies illustrate the connection between father's mental health and other issues such as substance abuse, employment difficulties, and criminal history.
The prevalence of depressive symptoms for fathers increases by more than six times when unemployed. Fathers also tend to have higher rates of experiencing both depression and substance abuse. However, recent studies are finding that depression to be a significant mediator of paternal substance use and negative parenting behaviors. It is important to address depression to decrease substance abuse issues; furthermore, providing support early to fathers experiencing emotional disturbances and adjustment issues before growing into more severe issues.

Internships and Volunteer Opportunities
Eva Bayon, a herbarium volunteer, works on collections from McLaughlin Reserve (photo by Bill Rice)
Student Interns in the Herbarium
Nearly all of our student interns have had some prior experience with plant identification by taking PLB 108 (Plant Taxonomy) or PLB 102 (California Floristics) or their equivalents. Interns are normally trained in as many aspects of collections management as time allows. This usually includes:
Specimen curation (insect management and freezing of specimens)
Specimen filing
Specimen mounting
Plant identification
Use of taxonomic literature
Understanding type specimens and synonymy
If the student has a particular interest that they want to pursue in the herbarium, other projects are possible. For example one of our students researched our Ethnobotany of California exhibit that we included in our Picnic Day display. Advanced students may like to curate a particular area of the collection, updating the nomenclature of the specimens or confirming plant identifications.

Long-term efficacy of entecavir in adefovir-refractory chronic hepatitis B patients with prior lamivudine resistance
Hyoung Su Kim, MD, Department of Internal Medicine, Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital of Hallym University Medical Center, 445, Gildong, Kangdong-gu, Seoul 134-701, Korea. E-mail: email@example.com
Summary. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of entecavir (ETV) in adefovir (ADV)-refractory chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with prior lamivudine (LMV) resistance. A total of 55 ADV-refractory CHB patients with prior LMV resistance, who received rescue therapy with ETV 1 mg daily for at least 12 months, were consecutively enrolled and analysed. Forty-four patients were men, and their median age was 47 (25–69). Ten patients had liver cirrhosis and 46 patients were positive for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). Median hepatitis B virus DNA levels were 6.6 (4.3–8.0) log10 copies/mL, and the median duration of ETV therapy was 24 (12–47) months. Cumulative virologic response rates at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months were 18%, 29%, 58% and 75%, respectively. HBeAg loss occurred in 10 (21.7%) of 46 HBeAg-positive patients. In multivariate analysis, only initial virologic response at 3 months remained as an independent predictor for virologic response (RR 3.143; 95% CI 1.387–7.120; P = 0.006). The patients with a virological response at 3 months had not only a significantly higher probability of achieving a virologic response (P < 0.001) but also lower probability of experiencing a virologic breakthrough (P = 0.043) than the patients without an early response. Viral breakthrough was observed in 29 patients during the follow-up period. Cumulative breakthrough rates at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months were 0%, 15%, 45% and 73%, respectively. ETV monotherapy may be considerably efficacious in cases with an initial virological response but its efficacy is attenuated by frequent emergence of ETV resistance in ADV-refractory CHB patients with prior LMV resistance.

How to Prepare Employees for a Move to the Cloud
Business owners who are about to make a change in the way they operate business might know that they need to make sure to do it in the best manner. One might also know that he or she should introduce the change to employees in a way that will leave them excited and expectant instead of alienated and worried.

There are many things that you can do if you want to prepare your employees well, and one of these things is to announce the news as soon as you can.

Books Most Wanted is currently available for review copies, blog tours, and interviews.
It would be impossible for me to exhaustively list all of my preferences. I am very eclectic, but I do have some genres that I read more often than others. In many of the genres I read both adult and YA, but I do tend to lean heavily toward YA. That said, here is a starting list of what types are currently on my to-read list or on my shelves:
- Adventure
- Apocalyptic/Post-Apocalyptic
- Alternate History
- Contemporary
- Dystopian
- Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Sci-fi
- Gothic/Southern Gothic

Speaker: Lu Feiran, Assistant Professor, Department of Molecular Genetics, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, US
Date: March 27, 2017
Time: 3:30 pm- 4:30 pm

Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) is a lysosomal membrane protein that exports cholesterol derived from receptor-mediated uptake of Low-Density Lipoprotein. Lysosomal cholesterol export is inhibited by nanomolar concentrations U18666A, a cationic sterol, and by itraconazole, a triazole that is used as an antifungal drug. To testify the target of U18666A and trialzoles, we synthesized photocrosslinkable derivatives of these compounds by attaching a benzophenone that permits ultralviolet-induced cross linking: U-X based on U18666A and P-X based on posaconazole, another triazole. When adding to CHO cells, U-X and P-X crosslinked to NPC1. Crosslinking was blocked by chemical derivatives that block cholesterol export, but not derivatives lacking blocking activity. Crosslinking was also prevented by point mutation in the sterol-sensing domain (SSD) of NPC1, but not by point mutation or deletion of the N-terminal domain (NTD). Furthermore, P-X also cross-linked to purified NPC1 that was incorporated into lipid bilayer nanodics. In this in vitro system, cross-linking of P-X was inhibited by itraconazole, not by U18666A. These data suggest that the SSD contains a site required for cholesterol export distinct from the cholesterol-binding site in the NTD and that the SSD has a binding site that can accommodate structurally different ligands.
Dr. Lu Feiran completed her Ph.D. from Tsinghua University in 2011. She is currently an assistant professor of Department of Molecular Genetics at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Her main research interests include Cholesterol Metabolism, and Membrane Protein Structural Biology. She has published in top journals such as Nature and Science.

Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Mazda6 Sedan
I have to admit that the price difference has made me stop and think about that more than once!
One thing to be aware of, though- there's a $2000 rebate and $1000 Mazda Financing Cash on the '05 6. That brings the price of a 6 i Sport in line with a 3 s. Just something to think about. But the 3 is just so much dang fun!
Any other manual V6 drivers out there care to comment? Was there an adjustment period, or is the 6s just not terribly responsive, particularly at the low end?
If you are REALLY worried about the low end for a V6, check out the Altima 3.5SE. The low end is VERY impressive, but the handling (or lack of it) and torque steer (PLENTY of that) turned me off, as well as the cheap-looking interior.
As far as the 6 is concerned, I've got the S with manual, and yes, the low end isn't very strong compared to the competition, but the car more than makes up for it in the mid-range and higher RPMs where it just hauls!! As a result, my driving style has changed slightly, holding the gears a little longer before upshifting, keeping the RPMs slightly higher during spirited driving, etc etc. During stop-n-go driving, it's not too bad, but highway driving is simply a blast!!
The Duratec V6 is known to develop slightly more power as the miles tack on. I guess you can say it matures with age and mileage. I've got close to 19K miles on my '04, and I've noticed an increase in both power and gas mileage since I bought it new. It's still making me smile...
Hope this helps your decision-making process.
Yeah, anyone who has driven the Altima 3.5SE with MT can testify that you CAN have too much power to the front wheels. Everything's a trade-off.
tnjrobi1 Posts: 41I have 26,000 miles on my 2004 Mazda 6 and I'm about to get new tires. I have free tires and brakes for life from the dealership. Should I stay with the Michelin Pilot HX MXM4's or should I try something else. (I'm looking at the Bridgestone Turenza LS-V's.)
Any reccomendations will be greatly appreciated.
I'd definitely replace the Michelins in a heartbeat! I'm patiently waiting for my set to wear down, because there are MUCH BETTER choices for both the money and performance.
Since you have the deal with your dealer, make sure that you can replace the Michelins with a different tire other than the OEM, and that buying a different brand will NOT void your "free tires for life" deal.
If you can, The Bridgestone Turanza LS-V is a great choice for touring tires, with great grip in all conditions and a longer treadlife. I've heard nothing but great things about these tires.
If you want a more aggressive performance tire, I'd consider the Yokohama Avid V4S. Phenominal grip in wet and dry conditions, with a trade-off in slightly poorer snow traction and treadlife (since it is a performance tire). I had a set of Yoko's on my old car, and plan on using them on my 6 as soon as the Michelins give out on me.
If you want any more suggestions or ratings on tires, definitelty check out Tirerack.com. Good luck...
I'm shopping for a sedan and drove a Mazda6 V6 automatic today for the first time. My impressions were almost all very good except for some road noise while on the interstate at 70 mph. On another road at about 60 I wasn't aware of it, so maybe the road surface is the key factor.
I checked out my old Car & Driver (June 2004) and their long-term review of the Mazda6 makes a point of the road noise in an otherwise good review. So that makes me wonder.
Could any of you owners tell me if this has been an issue with you? Does it vary from road to road? Are there different tires that can be installed to lessen the noise? Or any other modifications?
I should add that I drove a 2005 model (which this dealer was offering at a $5,000 discount!!!), so maybe for 2006 Mazda has added some sound-deadening materials?
I want to keep this car on my list because the driving position was almost ideal for me, the car felt like a great fit, and gave a very connected feel while driving. I really couldn't find anything else to complain about -- it was a very enjoyable test drive.
Also, I apologize if this is an old subject -- I'm new to Mazda. My brother just bought a Miata, so he sparked my interest in the brand. Maybe someone could direct me to older posts, or just give a brief summary of this issue.
Thanks for any of your thoughts.
About a month ago my best friend bought an '05 Mazda6 s 4-door for almost $5000 under sticker. We went to Atlanta Motor Speedway today and I got to drive it approximately 50 miles each way. I had only driven it once before a short distance.
I noticed some road noise, but not enough to be a significant concern. The easiest solution is just to turn up the stereo a bit (make sure you opt for the BOSE system).
His car stickered for about $27.5k and he got it for $22,700. That included leather, Bose/moonroof and the 6-speed automatic. I don't think you'll regret getting an '05 right now with that huge discount. You might even be able to get them down a bit lower than the $5000 discount you mentioned.
Good luck!
One more thing I thought of- does the $5000 discount you mentioned include the $1000 available for financing thru Mazda Credit? If not, you should definitely consider that also.
Even if you don't want to finance thru them, you can initially go thru them to get the rebate and then finance thru another lender immediately.
No, the $1,000 financing discount wasn't included. That's a thought. The $5,000 consisted of about $2,000 off to get to an "employee price," then another $3,000 off that was labeled "customer cash" for a bottom line "family price" of a little over $20,000. If you add another $1,000 off for financing, that's $6,000 off. I'm a little surprised at that much discount without evening asking, on a car that gets good reviews. Sounds more like GM or Chrysler desperation discounting.
Went back this afternoon to browse the lot and discovered they have about 12 2005 Mazda6 models at this "family price." All of the V6 models have extra sport appearence stuff as standard, which adds sill extenders, a spoiler, etc., which I didn't care for. Maybe not too many others care for it, either, since they're all at a deep discount. They only have two 2006 models, and they didn't have a 2006 catalog yet. They're obviously really focusing on moving their 2005 models.
I noticed the console of the 2006 has been redesigned, with climate/audio controls that look like they would be easier to see and operate.
Thanks for the feedback on the road noise. Sounds like it wasn't an issue with you and your friend. That's reassuring, but I'll have to drive it some to see for sure. Hoping it doesn't amount to much.
Slight road noise is a Mazda6 trait; mines an '04 and after a year I've gotten used to it. Some road surfaces make it more noticable, some it's not noticable at all. The driving attributes of the car far outweigh a little road noise, IMO; and so far this Mazda has been equal to the Accord it replaced in terms of reliability (0 problems). The Accord even had a rattle and a squeak that had to be fixed, where the Mazda is still tight so far. I'm willing to bet different tires might help a bit; the OEM Michelins are just OK, not great.
I've got an '04, and comparatively speaking, the road noise is not bad at all, and it's quieter than my Grand Am. The tires do react differently on different surfaces. There's a part of my commute that's a little louder at speed, due to the pavement surface (asphalt that's been worn down for years and never resurfaced). It's nothing that my Bose can't take care of.
Don't know if the '06's have more sound insulation or not, but I'd recommend test-driving one, to see if you like it better or not.
Road noise is all relative. If you drive a Mazda6 back-to-back with a Mazda3 on the same roads you will notice the difference, even though some think the Mazda3 is quiet enough. Also, since auto manufacturers have reduced engine noise a lot, now people tend to notice road noise more. I have driven the 06 and 06 Mazda6 back-to-back (same roads) and didn't notice a difference.
I do like the driving attributes of this car, so I may wind up being okay with the level of quietness it offers. Thanks for the feedback -- it's good to hear the car overall is a tight construction and that you like yours. My last three cars have been a Regal (very quiet, no rattles), a Camry (rattles), and now an Accord that is already on a replacement transmission but is otherwise a good car. I'm looking at the Mazda6 mainly because it seems a lot more fun to drive.
I've noticed the same thing in just about every car I've owned recently, that the road surface can make all the difference. The Mazda6 was quiet on a connector road, but a little loud on the Interstate. I just need to drive it more and get a better feel for it. Thanks for the feedback.
Must have been a typo -- you meant to say you've driven the 05 (you typed 06) and 06 models back-to-back? That would confirm that they've not done anything different in terms of sound-deadening materials.
I agree it's a relative matter. My brother got his Miata a few months ago and is having a blast with it, even though it has all kinds of noise his other cars never had. It's what he likes, the feedback from the car after working all day in a quiet office, plus the driving dynamics of the car and having the top down on a nice day.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Yeah, it was a typo, but you knew I meant to write "05 and 06". :shades:
The 06 I drove was a 4-door 2.3L MT and the 05 was a 5-door 3.0L MT. I can't put my finger on it, but there WAS something that felt better on the 06. Maybe it's the new suspension bushings on the 06 model. That, and the new console design, made me think I'd like the 06 better (even though there are some serious rebates on the 05s). The redesigned door panels on the 06 are a lot nicer too. I think for zipping around town, a car like the Mazda3 would be fine, but the extra road noise of the Mazda3 could get irritating with a lot of freeway driving or on a long trip (I tend to favor the freeways when I have a choice). One thing I noticed was that in the Mazda6 on the freeway it was easy to have a conversation with the sales guy, while in the the Mazda3 I had to speak a little louder. No biggy if you drive alone with the stereo up loud, but something to consider if you drive with a spouse a lot, or date frequently. Seeing how I'm back in the dating game I gotta think about the latter.
Anyone have a chance to drive the Mercury Milan or Ford Fusion?? I would like to hear some feedback from those who are familiar with the Mazda6...
I'd like to hear about that too. I have heard that they softened up the suspension, so that will make a nice topic of discussion. Since they don't offer the 3.0L with MT it's out for me, but I'm curious anyway.
We sell all three so hopefully the customers like one of them...
The big sister, the zephyer, is growing on me....
Rich, you got it made ... :P
Now, how about this - a Fusion SVT with 3.0L engine, AWD, and 6-speed MT? Now that would get my attention.
Rumor has it that the SVT will get a 3.5L version, soon to be also in the Five Hundred.
I've also heard that the 3.5L will be in the redesigned Mazda 6, coming in '07 or '08.
You never know...Ford essentially SVT's everything they sell but only a select few make it to the showrooms. I was on a Ford junket that included a visit into the SVT area...It was amazing to see the stuff they get to play with...I think the success or failure of the MazdaSpeed6 will play a role in a future Fusion SVT.
Since my spouse never shuts up while I'm driving, maybe I should always have her in the 6, to squelch some of the road noise,. On the other hand, naahhhh.
baggs32 Posts: 3,229Rumor has it that the SVT will get a 3.5L version, soon to be also in the Five Hundred.
The one I've been hearing on the Fusion thread is that there will be an ST tuned Fusion with the Duratec35 making upwards of 245HP and the SVT version will be AWD with the MAZDASPEED Mazda6 DI turbo 4 with about 280 HP and lots of handling goodies.
xeo Posts: 10For those of you out there with the 05 4 cyl - are you happy with the performance or do you wish that you had gone with the V6?
topgun7 Posts: 412Anyone drove the 06 with Nav yet? what is your impression. Any major improvement (spec look about the same except the nav) for handling and power delivery?
philwang66 Posts: 61We have a 05 6i auto. What is enough is highly dependent on the user. I find that it is enough for daily driving. However, when you need to "punch it", there is noticeable lag when the trans tries to downshift. I suspect the M/T would work better with the 6i. I'm guessing the new A/T on the 2006 would also be better in this respect.
On the flip side, I do find the 6i lighter on its feet than the 6s. Better mileage is also a plus for the 6i. We are satisfied with the tradeoff.
Good luck,
carguy58 Posts: 2,303"I'm a little surprised at that much discount without evening asking, on a car that gets good reviews. Sounds more like GM or Chrysler desperation discounting."
The discounting on the 6 is because the 6 doesn;t have as much as interior room as the its competitors such as the Accord, Camry, or Altima. I have to say Mazda nailed the 6 on the styling but they didn't put enough interior room in the car for the mid-size category. BTW, The Mazda 3 has been discounted alot less the MZ 6.
"I noticed the console of the 2006 has been redesigned, with climate/audio controls that look like they would be easier to see and operate."
Thats a good thing that the climate/audio controls have been revised for the 06 model year. I sat in an 04 MZ 6 ar an autoshows and the controls look kind of confusing to use.

Hi everyone! Do you remember a few days ago when dragon city had the event that gave you double gems when completing a fyber task? Well, I did so during the event. I did the applike task that was regularly 50 gems and with the event, 100 gems. So I did it and it said to wait a few days. I checked on it after one day and it still said processing or whatever. Then 2 days later, I didn't get any gems, and it wasn't there! I couldn't even get support from fyber on it as it said I hadn't completed any offers! I am very upset about this as I don't have enough money in real life to just buy gems whenever. Could someone please help me with this?
Pretty upset.Post count: 723Reputation: 349Joined:Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Unfortunately there's not much that can be done. Fyber is responsible for these offers, and there is no guarantee. All you can do is submit your request to them with any verification you may have. It is always best to take screenshots of the offer itself as well as a screenshot showing completion of the task.
