Musician's or Publisher's Notes
Viola Sonata Op. 11 No. 4 Paul Hindemith
I. Fantasie: Ruhig - II. Theme and Variations - III. Finale (without pause)
Respected as one of the most distinguished viola-players of his time, Hindemith devoted the earlier part of his career to performance, first as a violinist and then as violist in the Amar-Hindemith Quartet.
The so-called Fantasy Sonata, Op. 11, No. 4 (named after the first movement) was written at the beginning of 1919, in the midst of the nationalistic sound of a World War now lost. The work, between Romantic and Impressionist, has nothing of the anarchy of later times. Hindemith gave the following advice to performers: 'The sonata must be played without breaks between the movements, especially the second and third movements should be so connected that the listener should not have the feeling of hearing a finale, but the last movement must appear simply a continuation of the variations'. Yura Lee

The prediction is bad: it's going to be a dry winter, again. Already 97 percent of the state is under drought conditions and Southern California has only received a fraction of the rain it usually receives annually, all conditions that have an impact on the amount of available drinking water.
But for now, the drinking water supply in Long Beach won't be affected a drop. Groundwater, the largest source of drinking water in the city, is unaffected by the conditions, and the imported water the city receives through the Metropolitan Water District and stores in reservoirs is in good enough supply, officials say. It means that Long Beach has enough water on-hand to last at least two years and that officials aren't considering placing restrictions on water use as they did in 2007.
"We're not even close to that yet," said Kevin Wattier, the general manager of the Long Beach Water Department. "We're not in shortage condition and we're not anywhere close to it."
Wattier isn't worried because the city's water sources are in good shape. Sixty percent of the city's drinking water comes from groundwater.
"It's very stable year-to-year and we don't see any issues with that supply," he said.
The Metropolitan Water District has enough water in its reserves, allowing it to continue to provide its member cities with water despite the dry conditions.
"They've assured their customers that they won't have any issues in 2014," he said. There could be issues in 2015, but only if it's "extremely dry," he said.
The district provides around 40 percent of Long Beach's water. The city also recycles water for re-use on golf courses and parks and encourages conservation, two factors that further cut the demand for imported water.
While the city's drinking water supply is unthreatened for now, there could be problems in the future. Last month the state Department of Water Resources announced that the water districts served by the State Water Project should only expect to receive 5 percent of the water they want. That's because of low reservoir levels caused by dry weather and restrictions on pumping in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
The Department of Water Resources said that the 5 percent allocation is a "conservative estimate" that could rise depending on precipitation from the amount of snowpack from this upcoming winter's storms, the height of the wet season. It's the lowest allocation on record, tying with 2010, which was also made before winter storms. The 2010 allocation was eventually raised to 50 percent of the water requested. The second-lowest allocation was in 1993 when the state told water districts that they would only receive 10 percent of what they requested. But winter storms eventually raised the allocation to 100 percent.
"We hope things improve with this winter's storms, but there is no guarantee that 2014 won't be our third consecutive dry year. Today's allocation is a stark reminder that California's fickle weather demands that we make year-round conservation a way of life," Department of Water Resources Director Mark Cowin said in a statement in November.
The recent dry years is an offshoot of the 1997-98 El Nino, which caused a change in surface temperatures on the Pacific Ocean, which, for the West Coast, means drought conditions, said William Patzert, a climatologist with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
"The last time we saw this type of prolonged drought was in the 1950s and 1960s," he said. "But this is a natural cycle we've see in the past, except the fundamental difference here is that since 1950 the population of Southern California has quadrupled. What has saved us all is that imported water."

CNG Conversion Company Expands in China and India
4 August 2005
Hybrid Fuel Systems has finalized an exclusive 15-year agreement with WITCO International for resale of its conversion systems in China and India.
HFS offers a family of conversion systems enabling light-, medium- or heavy-duty gasoline or diesel engines to displace up to 80% of conventional fuel with natural gas or propane.
HFS will provide the ECU (electronic control unit) responsible for system development, calibration and training. WITCO will arrange for in-country production of system components and will be responsible for installation, service and support in China and India.
WITCO has entered into deals with five original equipment manufactures serving the bus, truck, stationary and construction equipment markets in China to develop and market dual-fuel systems. Under the terms of the agreement, OEMs may ship their engine or vehicle to HFS in the US for system development and calibration. The first such OEM engine is scheduled for delivery to Hybrid's facilities during August 2005.

This past weekend Asheville, NC was flooded with 30,000 people to hear music by The Flaming Lips and other amazing musicians at MoogFest. In almost a dozen venues in the downtown Western North Carolina city, music could be heard for 3 days. The fest also featured a talk by Brian Eno, the artist and producer of U2 records and the Talking Heads. This is just one of the many fall music festivals in North Carolina. Shakori Hills, LEAF (Lake Eden Arts Festival) and Hopscotch have all passed. Time to countdown to Roo ticket sales...less than a month until Black Friday! (Hopscotch tix go on sale 12/1!)

Color me shocked. Lexi Alexander, director of "Punisher: War Zone" has updated her blog yet again. Wow! What does this make, twice in, like, three months? Holy smokes! (Just kidding, Lexi, please don't come to my house and kick my ass. I'm delicate.) Anyhoo. According to Lexi Alexander, the powers that be have moved the release date for "Punisher: War Zone" to December 5th, 2008, just in time to douse Christmas and Jesus in buckets of blood because, you know, they have it coming anyway.
They also moved our release date to December 5th, which is, according to my reps, a much, much better date. I myself would have thought that people will think twice about going to see an extremely violent movie the closer it gets to Jesus' B-day, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or whatever other holy holiday you're celebrating. Well, the box office records prove different and instead, all you sick fucks get more blood thirsty that time of year. (And I say that with lovingly affection, cause I'm relying on all the sick fucks to show up).
And there's this pic. I would be scared for Lexi Alexander except she's a martial artists, and could probably kick both of the guys' asses.

Two-time WWE Hall Of Famer and current TNA Impact Wrestling performer Ric Flair missed the TNA Impact Wrestling live event on Friday night in New Orleans.
Neither Flair, or TNA, have commented on why he missed the show. Although Flair has missed more than one TNA live event this year already, so this isn't that big of a story.

When we hear the word "disruption," we tend to think of Apple's iPhone destroying Kodak's business model, Uber taking on the taxi industry or AirBnB reinventing the hotel game. But disruption is not just about technological change.
In fact, as the twin drivers of climate change and economic imperatives encourage our industry to look for resource efficiencies, timber – one of our most ancient materials – is a new disruptive force that is poised to reshape the way we build.
No other material can help us meet the challenges of contemporary, sustainable construction nearly as well.
Timber has always been around as a building material, but this has been largely restricted to the residential sector. Large-scale commercial development in timber is new.
Lendlease has been an early adopter of timber high-rise construction. When complete, the six-storey International House at Barangaroo South in Sydney will be the tallest timber office building in the world. Made from cross-laminated timber (CLT) and Glulam (glue laminated timber), the building has been designed to meet Barangaroo South's carbon neutral ambitions.
Lendlease's managing director of Barangaroo South, Andrew Wilson, has said the "source of materials is important. To use at scale, timber is the only renewable resource."
On May 1, 2016, the National Construction Code introduced a new 'deemed-to-satisfy' provision for timber buildings up to 25 metres, or eight storeys high, provided they include a raft of requirements, such as fire sprinklers and fire-resistant cladding.
This may spark innovative and entrepreneurial builders, many of them in smaller companies, to look at medium-rise timber apartments in our middle-ring suburbs – and at prices that the average Australian can afford.
Changes to the code will accelerate the use of prefabrication and modular construction – a method that delivers a range of benefits.
Timber can be grown, manufactured and cut to size close to site, making for quicker and more cost-effective construction. Economic modelling undertaken by Forest and Wood Products Australia (FWPA) has found the shorter construction times required for wooden buildings can save up to 15 per cent on a project's overall costs. FWPA also estimates that the new code will provide a $103 million boost to the Australian economy over 10 years through environmental benefits, and reduced construction and compliance costs.
Timber is around 30 per cent lighter than concrete or steel, potentially cutting crane, scaffolding and foundation costs. Timber and engineered wood also offer advantages in terms of thermal and energy efficiency performance. When combined with the precision delivered offsite on the factory floor, timber construction can enhance the quality of a build.
Research from Planet Ark has found that wooden interiors can also improve occupants' emotional state, reducing blood pressure, heart rate and stress levels.
And of course, timber's carbon storage potential is impressive. Australia's native forests, timber plantations and wood products are net absorbers of greenhouse gases, sequestering an estimated 56.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions profile by almost 10 per cent.
Our challenge is now to rethink conventional building. The current climate demands a move away from business-as-usual thinking. Timber may help us kick-start a whole new building movement.
FWPA has invested significant time into demonstrating that timber satisfies all safety standards while delivering environmental efficiencies. This work is beginning to pay off, but the next step is to ensure we use locally-sourced materials and have the prefabrication plants to deliver product to market.
The Green Building Council of Australia's proposed updates to Green Star, which will recognise and reward engineered timber in the Materials category, is a good start and will help incentivise the use of regionally-sourced and manufactured engineered timber.
Will it be a disruptor to rival Uber and the iPhone? Only time will tell.

Great article.
The problem is in the detail. For example, I would like to know how it reduces scaffolding costs during construction, the extra maintenance costs and the shorter lifespan of the building. And Peter has touched upon the elevated VOC's that would be in the building.
Timber needs to keep its natural properties for the most benefits to be gained. Care needs to be taken with adhesives due to long term outgassing risks. Equally tinder coated or treated with synthetic material like Urethane coatings become simply plastic products. Living or working in a plastic box is not healthy on many levels.
Costs are universally important and aesthetics beneficial too though if these two factors override human health needs the result is not better at all whatever the cost savings or how wonderfully pleasing the building appears.
As an ex-farm forester who's lived in largely timber homes much of my adult life this is one major disruption I am looking forward to. With all our attention on demand management and energy productivity not enough attention has been paid to embodied carbon in construction. Indeed timber is the only low cost renewable and recyclable building material and I for one vouch for the lifestyle it affords. Now it's time for the rating systems to catch up and enable solid timber construction.

Continuing on with Keirsey's Four Temperaments, I'll do one post each going into the details of each temperament. I'll start with the Rationals, just because that's what I am (barely).
Recall that Rationalists - or NTs - tend to be abstract in their thinking and communication and utilitiarian in their use of tools. As a result, they tend to excel at strategy. The Rationalist bucket contains a smaller bucket for each of the four MBTI NT variants:
- Coordinating Fieldmarshal (ENTJ), mobilizing their forces to achieve a goal, grabbing whatever resources they need along the way, and doing so through a chain of command. Napoleon and Eisenhower were premier examples of this personality type, but Fieldmarshals can be found commanding any undertaking, be it military, commercial, or even educational.
- Coordinating Mastermind (INTJ), engaged in the detailed research necessary to come up with the contingency plans they excel at forming for every conceivable failure point.
- Engineering Inventor (ENTP), focused on creating prototypes of their technological advances. Dreaming up nifty things is all well and good, but this type is not happy until their dream has been reified and proven to work.
- Engineering Architect (INTP), bent on designing models, blueprints, and plans that reify their ideas just as much as the Inventor's prototypes but on paper rather than in reality. This type cares intensely about the elegance and coherence of their design.
The judging or scheduling half are coordinators who think about the order in which things should be done whereas the probing and perceiving half pay more attention to how things are organized. Then comes the introvert/extrovert separation, with the extroverts naturally taking on roles that entail interaction with other people while the introverts tend more towards solo roles.
Just as each temperament has a predisposition towards or against strategy, tactics, diplomacy, and logistics but have greater or lesser skill in the areas as well, each of the four Rational variants have some facility with the roles of the other variants. The introvert and extrovert roles can fairly easily switch sides, but it tends to be much harder for a scheduler to swap over to a probing role, and vice versa. Even so, Rationals are likely to be much better at all four roles than they are with logistics, diplomacy, or tactics.
When you look at the types of things that interest a Rational, they usually align with the sciences much more than the arts, business, or the humanities. Technology is of keen interest, techniques, morality, and morale much less so; also systems (especially in the form of machines and organisms), but not so much equipment, materiel, or people.
Rationals tend to be very pragmatic in their view of life, always thinking about how they can get the most results for the least amount of effort. They are happy to follow along with custom where doing so meets their goals, but they are just as happy to brush custom aside when they believe it obstructs those goals (much to the abhorrence of Idealists and Guardians, focused on cooperation as they are).
Rationals are very skeptical when they look ahead. They know how often they themselves make mistakes, after all, and don't expect others to do any better. This is one reason they are so good at strategy - it's exactly because they know how likely it is that everything will go wrong that they put so much effort into determining how to best get or do where they need to go or do. And when Rationals look at the past, they don't see good or bad but rather a vast collection of lessons for them to mine. They do not see time as a line, either, but rather as an interval in which they are engaged in a certain thing. This is very true for me - when I become focused on a task, I step out of time, lose track of it. My task creates its own period of time, its own temporal interval.
Rationals' self-image is based upon being ingenious, autonomous, and resolute. Fun for Rationals - for me certainly (which mystifies my Artisan wife to no end) - is to actively work to get better at something. Preciseness is important - in the words they use, the things they do, the manner in which they criticize themselves. They could care less about a person's title, but the merits of a person's idea is of utmost importance. Rationals place high value on being calm, which other types can mistake for not caring. Reason they trust implicitly and without condition. In both work and play their aim is to achieve - not necessarily to be recognized (although that is of course appreciated) but to reach their goals. And once they do, they do not stop but rather set a higher goal and work towards that. One cause of this drive is an intense desire to understand how things work. Problems which they aren't sure they can solve are especially appealing. And they are quite pleased when their hard work is noticed and they are asked to explain why they solved a problem the particular way that they did.
When it comes to leading, Rationals (as you might expect from their strength with strategy) are focused on the long-term. They have a long-range plan for where things are going, and they have considered everything that might go awry and know how to adjust. And they tend to be quite good at selling this vision to their colleagues and getting them to willingly sign on for the ride.
Pretty much all of this applies to me. I am a mild N and a very strong T. I am also a mild J, so I am almost as strong an Architect as I am a Mastermind. Interestingly, being almost on the cusp between Sensing and iNtuitive and between Judging and Perceiving means I show strong signs of Artisan and Guardian as well. This holds constant across every personality typing scheme I have come across - even in cases where a person is only ever exactly one type (like Human Dynamics), I come up pretty strongly as two or more types. Which I guess makes me a complex, interesting individual, but sometimes just seems to mean that I have to read every section of the book instead of just one! <g/>

Life insurance is a valuable resource that most Americans feel they do not need until they are faced with a catastrophic situation. The fact is that many U.S. families are not prepared for an untimely death of a spouse or financial supporter.
Orland Park, Illinois (PRWEB) August 30, 2012
September is National Life Insurance Awareness Month. Headquartered in Bedford Park, United Security Life and Health Insurance Company (USL&H) details the importance of having an adequate amount of life insurance and the benefits it provides. According to the industry research group LIMRA, 30% of U.S. households have no life insurance. This same study noted that 22% of families with dependent children admit that they would have immediate trouble with everyday living expenses in the event of an unexpected loss of their spouse.
"Life insurance is a valuable resource that most Americans feel they do not need until they are faced with a catastrophic situation. The fact is that many U.S. families are not prepared for an untimely death of a spouse or financial supporter," began Sandy Horn, President, USL&H. "Since its inception, insurance has been about transferring risk, thereby avoiding the anxiety of potential loss. Wouldn't you rather leave money behind than debt? Life insurance helps to safeguard that the insured's family will be safe from the effects of losing the sole provider's contribution to the household income. It is your last opportunity to give to those you care about. People purchase life insurance for one main reason, because they love someone and want to protect them from further loss."
Horn outlined determining factors that should be analyzed when establishing the need and amount of life insurance that would be required in order to ensure that adequate financial protection is in place.
- Does every adult need life insurance? Absolutely! Think about it. If you are a single adult with no dependents, who would be responsible for the cost of your burial expenses? If you are a married couple with no dependents, and are both equal income earners, would you want to leave something of monetary value to your surviving spouse? There may student loans outstanding, or a mortgage that needs to be paid. And, parents also need to consider purchasing life insurance for their children. If the unthinkable happened to a child, the last think you'd want to worry about is having enough money to pay for a proper ceremony. So the answer is yes. Everyone has a need for life insurance!
- How much life insurance coverage is needed? Consumers should start by looking at their current income, and determine how much of it their dependents would need to replace in order to financially sustain themselves in the event of an untimely death. Factors to consider include daily living expenses, mortgage or rent, food, tuition, and even funeral expenses should be taken into account. The most qualified resource to assist in this overwhelming task is a licensed life insurance agent.
- Are there different types of life insurance? Yes. Term Life and Whole Life. Term life insurance provides coverage at a specific price for a specified period (i.e 10, 20 or 30 years) If the insured dies during the term, the death benefit will be paid to the beneficiary. Term insurance is the least expensive way to purchase a substantial death benefit. Whole life premiums remain level throughout the life of the policy and build a cash value. These policies can be more expensive than term insurance, but they build cash value and the cash value can be borrowed against or used to make future payments on the policy.
In addition to helping to pay for daily living expenses, life insurance will help to cover funeral expenses which can mount upwards of $10,000. Some life insurance plans affords other benefits such as cash value, which can be used to pay for college tuition or other expenses. The cash value is the amount the policy is worth if it is cancelled or "surrendered" while the owner is still alive. The cash value won't be as much as the death benefit — the amount the policy would payout if the insured becomes deceased. But the cash value can grow large enough to make life insurance a useful tool for investing.
USL&H Offers The Following Life Insurance Products:
- E-Z Whole Life Final Expenses Plan: Coverage available from $2,500 to $25,000. No physical exam or medical records required! First Step Children's Whole Life Plan: Lock in a rate as low as $5/month while your child is still young! Coverage amounts available up to $25,000! This amount will never decrease due to age or a change in health.
- First Step Children's Whole Life Plan: Lock in a rate as low as $5/month while your child is still young! Coverage amounts available up to $25,000! This amount will never decrease due to age or a change in health.
- E-Z Term Life Plan: Choose a 10, 20, or 30 year term. Coverage for the primary insured may range from $10,000, $20,000 - $250,000. A spouse rider is available for face amounts of $5,000 - $75,000, not to exceed ½ of the primary face. Children may also be covered from $2,000 - $25,000, not to exceed ¼ of the primary face.

I haven't yet decided on whether I'll restock this one, not because i don't enjoy it but because I think the two that i REALLY want to keep in stock from Stacy are the premium tawainese assam and her new tea that isn't up yet.

- Resist the normative horizontal axis of view used in real estate advertising and urban branding; glass and steal towers shimmering above an urban waterfront—Dubai Marina or False Creek— are becoming sine qua non of contemporary urban development and its affinity with leisure.
- The play between built environment and faceless individuals in these images creates an interesting dynamic that challenges humanistic representations of the city as the product of a rational order (human being).
- Otherwise invisible patterns of movement: the flow or paths of different groups suggests an energy or meshing of gears, and points to larger machinations of urban development and socio-political change.
- The street / seawall as a stage, and to focus on a salient feature of new developments and we believe a vital social space in the transition to new a new urban locus.
- Vantage point of a powerful, global elite: and to think about our relationship to these expensive boxes in the sky. Looking down, we get to see how we are seen from above and to think about who we might respond.
Maraya | Refection: NIC talk
How we look at the city or cities, as is the case with Maraya, is fundamental to how we go about living in them. The perspectives we bring to bear are crucial to understanding our role in an ongoing urban transformation. This was a key point in my "Maraya | Reflection" talk at North Island College (Oct. 27, 2011), part of the Speakers Series connected to the Emily Carr / NIC External BFA. Vancouverism For background, I showed a short video introducing the Maraya project and Vancouver and Dubai nexus with which it engages. The video (linked below) features Stanley Kwok and Trevor Boddy, along with M. Simon Levin, Henry Tsang and I, and was made by grad students Alan Goldman and Ahmad Konash. As this video suggests, Maraya attempts to engage (or gauge) a new form of urbanism. Architecture critic Trevor Body suggests that "Vancouverism," as it is called, is a response to Manahattanism (Vancouver Sun article; see also Boddy's exhibition website, which pushes noun to verb: Vancouverize). This new urbanism, of which Vancouver's False Creek North and the Dubai Marina are prime examples, uses urban density to attract offshore investors. In Vancouver and Dubai, and increasingly around the world, waterfront neighbourhoods are seen to provide the basis for new economic programs built on the development and marketing of luxury real estate abroad. Capitalizing on earlier networks of transportation and trade, Vancouver and Dubai have transformed themselves from colonial outposts to global players. In these model cities, residential mega-projects are produced as nodes in international networks. Their uxury condos provide haven for well-heeled migrants, globally mobile elites, who may not be interested in settling in a new city per se, but who are keeping their options open while looking for safe places to park their money. One might think of the empty, uninhabited condos in these cities as safety deposit boxes in the sky. Down Shots Maraya began as a wager. As a research project, we wanted to assess the nature and depth of the connection between these sites in Vancouver and Dubai. Lookinh at these cities together allowed us to think about 21st century urbanization in new and exciting ways. The problem, from an artistic or aesthetic point of view, had to do with how to represent these links and the larger patterns they signify. The branding of Vancouver and Dubai has been very successful and it is easy to get lured into certain ways of seeing. Likewise critical response to the urban disparities underpinning both cities are important and have had significant sway internationally; it is difficult to think about the politics of Vancouver without violent images of the Downtown Eastside or of Dubai outside of photographs of exploited of migrant labourers. These are important points of discussion and need careful consideration. However, there is a danger in recirculating imagery that seems to conform to a kind of stock image bank. The appropriation of particular images/ideas often accompanies a kind of knee-jerk criticality that functions to establish or sanctify the position of the artist/critic. Understanding the these two cities are linked and that they are part of a global flow of ideas (good and bad) and capital, we felt we needed to take a different approach. Thinking about how cities are now built by flows of digital information (email, jpgs, quicktime movies, CAD drawings), and the fact that Vancouver's Concord Pacfic Place was touted as one of the first fiber optic neighbourhoods in North American, we decided to look down and sought to glimpse the a metaphorical of flow of urban information beneath our feet. Stopping people in their tracks as the jog, roller blade, dog walk around the seawall or marina walk was pleasing to us. Showing images of people along this global sea-walk who are all looking down was even better. Strand and Rodchenko This approach allowed us to draw a connection to the photos Paul Strand and Alexander Rodchenko, the great urban image-makers of the early 20th century. Strand's photos of Manhattan and Rodchenko's of Moscow have helped establish a powerful urban lexicon. Their images provide a visual counterpoint to de Certeau's wandersmanner who walk the city like ants, or letters on a page, constantly rewriting an illegible urban script (to paraphrase de Certeau's "Walking in the City"). Shooting Down on the city allows us to view:

wikiHow to Make a Rabbit Rattle
Four Methods:Preparing the Felt PiecesMaking the EarsAttaching Ears and Making the Handle ArchAdding the Hoop HandleCommunity Q&A
Whether you need a gift for a baby shower or you'd like to give your baby a delightful rattle to play with, this rabbit rattle will be sure to please. Made from felt, it dries easily after washing and is light enough to tote around with baby on any outings.
Preparing the Felt Pieces
1Cut the felt fabric as follows:
- Cut two oval pieces for the rabbit's head (front and back). While the diameter is up to you, a reasonable size would be about 10cm/4 inches.
- Cut out two small circles for the cheeks.
- Cut out ear pieces proportional to the head size. You'll need four larger ear pieces (front and back) and two smaller pieces of the same shape for the inner ears (front only).
2Sew the face on one of the head pieces as follows:
- Stitch the cheek pieces in place at an even distance across from each other.
- Embroider eyes, nose and mouth as shown in the image.
Making the Ears
Attaching Ears and Making the Handle Arch
1Stitch the rabbit's head together. Sew along the edges of the head, leaving a small opening for the stuffing. Add the stuffing until firm. Finish stitching.
2Sew the ears to the top of the rabbit's head.
3Make an arch shape. Cut out an arch shape from the felt in the same size as the hoop handle piece. You'll need both front and back pieces and they must completely loop around the hoop handle piece. Sew the arch together topside (the longer edge) only. Double check that it slips over the hoop handle piece once stitched.
- Sew two hearts on the arched piece as decoration.

French Top 14
Dupuy's Top 14 return a step closer
June 10, 2009
Julien Dupuy's move back to France looks likely to go ahead © Getty Images
France debutant and Leicester scrum-half Julien Dupuy's proposed move back to the Top 14 seems to be nearer completion after the Tigers' head coach Richard Cockerill admitted that a replacement for the Frenchman was being lined-up.
"I'd like to keep him, but he wants to go and they will pay a significant amount of money," Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester.
"We have a replacement lined up and we'll see if that comes through, but the jigsaw's got to fall into place.
"The player who comes in may be more experienced and help bring Ben (Youngs) through and help mentor Harry (Ellis) in a positive way too."
French giants, Stade Francais have for some time been courting the 25 year-old, who still has a year left on his deal at Welford Road. Their approaches thus far have been rebuffed after the offer to buy Dupuy out of the final year of his contract was deemed to be inadequate, Cockerill's latest admission though would seem to confirm that their renewed offer will now be accepted.
Dupuy has welcomed the approach from the Paris-based team after his girlfriend had become unhappy with life in England and sought a return to France.
The former Wallabies scrum-half Chris Whitaker has been linked as a possible replacement should Dupuy's move go through. The 34 year-old was recently part of the Leinster team that won the Heineken Cup and would easily fit the level of experience Cockerill would be looking for.

It's not easy being the big bad wolf. Whereas Episode One of Telltale Games' The Wolf Among Us gave us a glimpse of the beast within, Episode Two: Smoke & Mirrors lets you live it, should you so choose to.
Picking up where things left off, the second episode of this dark, gritty adventure takes place immediately after the massive cliffhanger of Episode One: Faith. Perhaps that's my biggest gripe with the game -- or really, Telltale's release format. I recognize having to wait for an episode can build up anticipation, but the nearly four-month wait we had to endure left me feeling initially disconnected with Episode Two. For that, I'd recommend replaying the entire first episode again before proceeding to Episode Two as it'll help you familiarize yourself with the story and set the grim tone that The Wolf Among Us thrives on.
Smoke & Mirrors is considerably lighter on the action compared to the prior episode, but the increased emphasis on the actual investigation is a welcomed change of pace. Straight up combat takes a backseat this time around, in lieu of puzzle solving, piecing together clues, and interviewing suspects -- you know, being a real detective. Don't worry, there's still a few moments where you can opt to duke it out with a few asshole fairy tales.
The biggest difference between this episode and the last is the freedom to further explore, really get to know the inhabitants of Fabletown -- many of them pricks who I can't stand (but I think that's the point?). Whereas Episode One established the world in which The Wolf Among Us is set, Smoke & Mirrors lets you finally live within it. It lets you become the beast. It also introduces you to a few more interesting characters residing in some pretty shady places.
Smoke & Mirrors is still filled with choice, but it exists on a more personal level. While decisions still impact the game, your choices have more to do with you defining what type of character you want Bigby to be. Do you prefer the brutish wolf who isn't afraid to crack a few skulls to get what he wants? Or do you prefer a more "humane" approach? With so many assholes already in the game, I tend to opt for the latter; but, living the Jekyll-and-Hyde lifestyle sure makes for a fun experience.
I still have a problem with the overall pacing of The Wolf Among Us as some of the scenes seem a tad drawn out, but overall Smoke & Mirrors is a solid follow-up. There are a few odd character choices, in terms of outlandish behavior that seem to exist only for the purpose of stirring up controversy within the game.
Admittedly, I still don't know where I stand on the series as a whole, but that's probably because we're only in Episode Two. With three more still planned, I'm anxious to see where Telltale takes the series. I just hope we don't have to wait another four months to find out.

A few months ago, Robert Earnshaw was dodging rockets in Tel Aviv.
Now, the only explosives the Welsh international has to worry about are the fireworks that go off after a Toronto FC victory.
In one of the most memorable home debuts in Toronto sports history, Earnshaw, who signed with TFC on March 1 and made his MLS debut in Vancouver last weekend, scored two quick goals to pace the Reds to a 2-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City — snapping a 15 game winless streak for Toronto.
Earnshaw's nose for the net and his flair on the pitch, especially his forward somersault post-goal celebration, will undoubtedly result in the diminutive star becoming a big fan favorite at BMO Field. After six dreadful seasons, the TFC faithful are starving for not only wins, but a scoring hero. The most beloved player of all time was Danny Dichio — who scored the first goal in franchise history. But neither Dichio, nor Dwayne De Rosario (who holds the franchise record with 32 goals) nor anyone, has been able to lead TFC to a playoff spot, never mind a title.
But this year's side just might have the goods to break through and make it into the post-season. And if they do, Earnshaw will likely be a big part of it. He certainly has the pedigree of a top-flight scorer, finding the back of the net 203 times in 473 club matches in England, Scotland and Israel. He is also the only player to have picked up hat-tricks in the Premiership, Divisions 1, 2 and 3, the FA Cup, the League Cup and in an international, when he scored three against Scotland at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Feb.18, 2004. On Saturday, in his first home game with Toronto, Earnshaw almost added another league to his hat-trick magic.
"For sure. As soon as I was taking that penalty," said Earnshaw, when asked if he was thinking hat-trick after scoring his second goal. "And I was a bit disappointed because we just took so much pressure for the rest of the game, that it didn't give me a chance to do that. But it wasn't about me getting a hat-trick, it was just about getting through and getting the win."
Earnshaw managed his first goal at the three minute mark when he intercepted a pass by Sporting KC defender Matt Besler and buried it in the bottom left hand corner behind KC keeper Jimmy Nielsen. A few minutes later, at the 21st minute, he scored again on a penalty kick, set up by a strong run by teammate John Bostock.
All in a day's work for Earnshaw, who's personal background is as interesting as his professional one. Born in Zambia, Earnshaw moved with his family at six to Malawi where his father worked as a coal mine manager. There, he and his sister Joanne actually flew to school on Mondays, stayed for the week, and then flew home again on Friday, their town being so small and isolated. Sadly, in 1990, Robert's father David, who was originally from Yorkshire, England fell ill with typhoid fever and passed away in May of that year. That September, their mother, Rita, decided to move the family to Wales. And it was there he took up football, joining Cardiff City as a youth trainee in 1997 and turning pro a year later. He played 202 games for his home club and for six other teams, all on loan, including Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. during the middle of the Israel-Gaza conflict last year when rockets were fired into the city.
"I looked over at these guys who had many years' service in the army. They knew exactly what was going on," said Earnshaw, of the experience. "One of them shouted that we had to take cover up by the side of the dressing rooms, so we just ran after them. Then we heard a loud bang of the Iron Dome – a new protection system used to intercept rockets. We then had to protect ourselves from all the shrapnel coming down".
After appearing in 10 matches for Tel Aviv, Earnshaw was sent back to Cardiff but the team's manager decided there was no room for him on the roster, hence his move to Toronto. Before coming to Canada, Earnshaw talked with fellow Welsh international, and former TFC player, Carl Robinson about the city and is anxious to settle in and help lead the moribund franchise to some playoff success.
"I'm loving it so far," he said. "I'm just trying to settle in, trying to get to know everyone and the place, but so far I've really enjoyed it. There's a real excitement for me — the training, the football and the city as well."
No doubt if he keeps scoring goals, TFC fans will really take to the club's new forward, especially with his unique post-goal celebrations. After his second goal on Saturday, he added a little matador swipe following the flip.
"I do that every now and again," he said, with a laugh. "Just watch out, it might be different every time."

In her new book, "Caleb's Crossing," Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist Geraldine Brooks spins fiction from a little-known fact: that the first Native American graduated from Harvard in 1665.
Brooks, a former newspaper reporter who was born in Australia and now lives in Martha's Vineyard, will be at Warwick's Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. She answered questions recently by email.
Q: How did you first learn about Caleb?
A: It was a notation on a map of Martha's Vineyard that showed sites of significance to the Wampanoag Indians who have inhabited the island for thousands of years. When I saw the date of his graduation, I was gobsmacked. I had no idea Harvard existed at that time, much less that it was then a place where English puritans and Indians would be sitting together studying the classics in Latin.
Q: What about his story struck you as a good basis for a novel?
A: Well, everything. The voids in the record are vast, so immediately imagination rushes to fill them. But first there was a journey into the past to find out what was known of Wampanoag life and culture on the island at the time of English settlement, and why the English came there so early in the colonial enterprise. Why put 7 miles of tricky ocean current between yourself and the mainland? (It's inconvenient enough living there today.) What was Harvard like? Who was there? And most intriguing: Who was Caleb, this remarkable intellectual, and what would it take to make a crossing from your own language and culture into such a fundamentally different world?
Q: Not much is known about him — is that a good thing for a novelist, or a bad thing?
A: Both, I think. You need some voids, or else why not write narrative history? But I yearn to know more about him. I dream of some lost trove of his writings turning up in a Cambridge garret someday...
Q: You tell his story through the eyes of a Puritan minister's daughter, Bethia Mayfield, who befriends Caleb. What themes and issues did the use of her voice enable you to explore?
A: I was interested in the marginalization of women in Puritan culture and how they negotiated lives circumscribed by theocracy and burdensome toil. The issues so closely paralleled the work I did as a journalist for many years in some of the most repressive corners of the Middle East.
Q: What was your favorite part of the research you did to fill in the blanks of Caleb's story?
A: Just walking around the island, finding places where, if you squint, you can see what Caleb and Bethia would have seen. Like Bethia, I came to know the island in a very deep way while I was working on this novel. I also loved listening to Wampanoag elders — some in person, some in oral history archives — speaking with warmth and passion about their culture and the old lifeways that sustained them through the centuries.
Q: This is a story about the collision of cultures. Why did you want to write about that?
A: I am interested in how we as a species deal with this idea of otherness. We tend to fall into this desperately sick need to demonize difference, when any objective reading of human history shows that we make our greatest strides as a species — in art and science and living standards — when we form multicultural societies enriched by our differences.
Q: Ernest Hemingway said that newspaper work is good for a writer, if you get out in time. What about newspaper work was good for you as a writer?
A: I'm still living artistically off the fat of my years as a correspondent. Those experiences were so diverse and so intense. I don't think I could have become a novelist without being a reporter first. Also, in a practical way, it makes you unprecious about writing. You are schooled to get it down on the page no matter what. You don't wait around trying to get your aura on straight. You just do it. It's much easier to face a lousy first draft and see what's up with it than it is to face a completely blank page.
Q: What do you most enjoy about writing historical fiction?
A: You have a scaffolding of truth on which to build your airy castle of imagination.

FORT HOOD, Texas, April 14 (UPI) -- The families of two former prisoners of war Monday cautioned the nation not to forget the U.S. military personnel still missing in action and in combat in Iraq.
At a news conference, Chief Warrant Officer Michelle Williams rejoiced that her husband, Chief Warrant Officer David Williams, was one of the seven POWs rescued Sunday, but she urged Americans to continue the prayers that helped her husband survive.
"There are still soldiers in harm's way," she said.
Williams, who is an Army helicopter pilot like her husband, said she was awakened at 5:30 a.m. Sunday with the "great news." The young mother said the past three weeks had been rough, but she remained confident.
"I really thought this day would come," she told reporters.
Williams said her husband looked liked he had lost some weight but appeared elated in the video she saw of him boarding a helicopter after his rescue.
"He looked very happy, but I saw relief in his eyes and that meant the world to me," she said.
David Williams, 30, and Chief Warrant Officer Ronald Young Jr., 26, were flying a Longbow Apache helicopter that was shot down March 24 on a mission in southern Iraq. They were briefly shown on Iraqi television after their capture.
Williams and Young are soldiers in the 1st Battalion, 227 Aviation Regiment, 4th Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division. Their helicopter unit was deployed earlier this year but most of their division remains at the Texas Army post, awaiting orders.
Col. James McConville, the 4th Brigade commander, told reporters the post was relieved to hear the two were rescued and a celebration is being planned for their return to Fort Hood.
In Lithia Springs, Ga., the parents of Young were jubilant in a news conference outside their house.
"To bring all seven of them home like that is a miracle," said Kaye Young, who was celebrating her birthday Monday. "We know everybody's prayers brought that miracle home for us. We only have a few more to get home."
The other five POWs are from the Army's 507th Maintenance Company based at Fort Bliss in West Texas. Six soldiers were taken prisoner and nine of their comrades were killed March 23 in an ambush in An Nasiriyah in southern Iraq.
Pfc. Jessica Lynch, the sixth 507th soldier taken prisoner, was rescued in a raid April 1. She was flown to Washington's Walter Reed Army Medical Center during the weekend for treatment of her injuries.

About Me
On a mission to teach, learn, work, and play.
I guess I'd consider myself a pretty laid back, fun-loving girl. I rarely find myself saying "no" to any new adventure. I am a big biology/geology nerd. Big heights junkie. Love a good beer. Often I find myself dressed up in some ridiculous costume. I am happiest in nature. I enjoy feeling uncomfortable and pushing myself to try new things. I don't take myself too seriously and I make fun of everything. I work as a science teacher. I am lucky to have a job I love that also allows me time off to explore the world. I also love my state of California and exploring it- just look at my pics for off-the-beaten-path ideas if you are visiting/ living in California. I will never get done exploring my own state, much less the world!
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Over the years I had the pleasure of meeting awesome people at local CS events and have been hosted and met up with some wonderful people all over the world! Whenever I have traveled alone and used Couchsurfing- I never felt "alone" once. CS had been amazing and I have enjoyed more rich, authentic, and fun travel experiences because of it. Can't wait for more!
I enjoy hiking, kayaking, climbing, yoga, running, & camping. I love being outdoors and any chance to jump off a cliff or bridge into water. Photography melts my heart. I also love trying out new foods and cooking new recipes- especially food from other cultures. I enjoy reading about social research, science, and the stories and dynamics of immigrants. I am nearly obsessed with Ted.com lectures. I love going on new adventures- sketchier the better. Some of my favorite times have been on a long hike or scenic locale with a cold beer.

You may have to go into itunes adn enable the ipod to be used as a hard drive to see the files. I don't have itunes anymore but there is a setting that enables it to be used as a hard drive.
You might check into that. I don't know if it will solve your sync issue but it should let you see the hidden files and folders.

wikiHow to Make Tarragon Stuffed Mushrooms
A perfect side dish or first course dish.
- 1 lb (450 g) mushrooms, large
- 6 oz (175 g) breadcrumbs, fresh
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1 onion, small and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) tarragon, fresh and finely chopped
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper
- 4 oz (110 g) breadcrumbs, dry
- Oil, enough for deep frying
1Clean the mushrooms. Wipe them gently using warm water. Take out the stalks carefully, keeping the caps intact. Chop the stalks up finely.
2In a bowl, add the fresh breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, tarragon, one egg, seasoning to taste and the chopped stalks. Mix together well; this will form a firmed up stuffing.
3Use a spoon to scoop the stuffing into the mushroom caps. Divide evenly and press the stuffing in well.
4Beat the remaining egg in a dish. Use this to egg wash the stuffed mushroom top (dip each mushroom in).
5Dip the egg coated mushroom into the dry breadcrumbs, evenly coating them.
6Heat the oil in a heavy based pan and deep fry the mushrooms for 4 – 5 minutes. This will need to be done in rounds, replenishing the oil as you go.
7Leave the fried mushrooms to drain on kitchen towel.
8Serve immediately. Add a favorite condiment such as mayonnaise, sauce, or chutney.

text: Hi -- I live in Canada, but am going to Phoenix for a brief visit in Feb. Usually get ground NM red chile (Hatch and Chimayo) by mail, or when I go there for a visit. But sadly don't have time this trip to make it over to NM. Is there anywhere in Phoenix to buy it? Thanks so much!

The Canucks' No. 1 line will have a different look for the next two weeks.
On Saturday, Vancouver coach John Tortorella confirmed winger Alex Burrows, who plays alongside Daniel and Henrik Sedin on the club's top unit, will be out with a lower-body injury.
"He's going to be out a couple of weeks, that's where we are going to leave it right now," Tortorella told NHL.com.
The 32-year-old native of Pincourt, Que., was hurt blocking a shot while killing a penalty in the team's 4-1 loss to San Jose Thursday night.
While Tortorella was non-committal on the nature of Burrows's ailment, reports have suggested he suffered a foot injury.
Burrows scored 13 goals in the lockout-shortened campaign last year and is a four-time 20-goal scorer. Originally undrafted, he scored a career high 35 goals in 2009-10 and is a plus-130 overall in just over eight seasons — all with the Canucks.
