The Fresh & Onlys
The Mantles
July 29, 2011
@ The Independent
Better than: Anything on 30-year-old MTV.
Shortly after 9 p.m. on Friday, the line outside the ticket window at the Independent stretched beyond the venue's second exit door, almost past the end of the red building itself. Populated with the usual stylish, smoking, impatient-looking S.F. show crowd, it went quickly -- maybe pushed along by the muted racket of the Mantles blaring invitingly through the walls. Inside, the place seemed sparsely populated given the hordes outside, which was too bad: Onstage the local outfit was doling out its dusty garage pop with as much vigor and crispness as ever.
Whether this was due to the band members' playing, or to the higher-quality soundsystem at the Independent (compared to, say, the Eagle -- R.I.P. -- where I've seen them the most times), is unclear. But the Mantles seemed to slowly possess the attention of the filling room, sending out ripples of head-nodding as each set of ears were won over by this basic, innocent guitar music.
As the room it filled up, it became clear that most people were there to see Woods, the Brooklyn folk-rock outfit featuring one Jeremy Earl, polarizing singer. Quite simply, you either love Earl's nasally, wistful voice and his emotive stage presence, or you don't. The unusual -- but narrow -- dimensions of his vocal contributions color everything Woods does, except for its intermittent, fractured instrumental detours.
Facing a now tightly-packed room, the band began with "Pushing Onlys," a yearning folky number from new album Sun and Shade that sounds like it was sung by an 18-inch-tall Neil Young. Sitting smack dab in the middle of the stage was one G. Lucas Crane, anchored behind a table of effects and with a headphone splayed across his face so that one of the earpieces sat directly over his mouth, looking rather like a pacifier. The sonic effect of this was unclear -- Woods sounded noisy but not totally shot-through with effects. The visual, though, remained stubbornly disturbing: Crane appeared at times like a giant infant, a crazed noise wizard, or a loosely secured Hannibal Lecter.
Whatever you think of Earl's voice -- in some ways it's beautiful, in some it's intolerable -- its pointy rasp gives a much-needed edge to Woods' music, which sounds otherwise like a predictable soundtrack made for sensitive kids taking acid. The band's jammy noise explorations never even approached the threat level that Earl can while singing a straightforward pop melody; and it was in those more subtly adventurous moments that Woods was at its best.
Next up was local psych-pop outfit the Fresh & Onlys, which remain the kind of band that inspires fevered fandom in some (read: me) and plain boredom in others. Some attribute this uneven appreciation to their recordings, which lately are transparent and lucid and (some say) dull; others think the live show is too messy and chaotic. We got a little of both sides on Friday.
Frontman Tim Cohen assumed the front of the stage in a neat dress shirt and tie, with a fisherman's cap, and promptly led us off. "Fascinated," one of those newish songs that sounds gorgeously transparent on its recording, seemed much more distended and noisy onstage. "Waterfall," another hit off of the band's latest album, Play It Strange, came together just slightly more, in time for the achingly beautiful guitar solo.
The crowd began to thin out just at the Fresh & Onlys were hitting their stride -- maybe because it was approaching midnight? In any case, those who stayed through the end of "Feelings in My Heart" witnessed the best moment of their set. With the arrival of the song's upward spiraling instrumental climax, it seemed all the band's elements were finally firing together. The mixing was off, but the lesson was clear: The Fresh & Onlys can hit it live just as well as they can in the studio -- and vice versa.
Critic's Notebook
Encore: Members of the Fresh & Onlys came out with members of Woods (including Jeremy Earl!) to cover Graham Nash's "Military Madness." Tim Cohen played the drums on the laid-back country singalong. It was worth sticking around for.
For the record: I like Earl's voice -- there, I said it! -- but some in my group of friends had a hugely negative reaction to it.

The 1950s was a formative period for America–and specifically New York City. Maybe it was years of war (World War II, Korea, the cold war) that sparked a cultural renaissance unlike any the country had seen before: authors such as James Baldwin and the Beats and Vonnegut, artists such as Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock, architects like Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Louis Kahn. Alan Freed was coining the term "rock 'n' roll" in Cleveland, and Sam Phillips was recording Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins at Sun Studios in Memphis. And jazz was swinging with full force. Bebop, a form of jazz that developed out of late-night jam sessions after big-band performances, was full of innovation. Giants like Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus were playing some of the most prominent roles in the '50s, but it's John Coltrane's playing from this period that may best represent the time, something that's shown by the six-disc boxed set Fearless Leader.
Although Coltrane was about thirty at the time of these recording in 1957 and 1958, and despite that he'd been playing professionally for more than a decade (with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis), he was largely regarded as a "young" player in his formative years. He was known for being a sideman (in fact, in 1957, when he signed with Prestige as a solo artist, he joined Thelonious Monk's band after being fired by Davis), but these sessions show that Coltrane was playing with a feverish passion. They can also be seen very clearly as the foundation for later classics such as Giant Steps (1959) and My Favorite Things (1960).
Many of the tracks on Fearless Leader are standards that showed up on such landmark recordings as Lush Life (1957) and SoulTrane (1958), but even on these lighter songs, Coltrane's gritty, fiery blowing is present, allowing him to set himself apart from sax players such as Sonny Rollins and all the Charlie Parker imitators. Coltrane was working with a wonderful cast of musicians and engineers, most notably Rudy Van Gelder, the sound engineer and producer who would be present through a lot of Coltrane's career, and the Red Garland trio (consisting of Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Arthur Taylor on drums). The rhythm accompaniment flows so well with Coltrane's playing it's as if these players were tailor-made for his style.
Those who only find Coltrane's work in the 1960s to be significant should retrace their steps. The Fearless Leader boxed set shows that Coltrane was no amateur: He was just a soul looking for his style to become a true leader on the saxophone.

Website Credibility Checklist: Top 25
BJ Fogg – the world's leading researcher on web credibility – has said that web credibility is about making your website in such a way that it comes across as trustworthy and knowledgeable. Your website is often the first point of contact for the customers, responsible for first impressions and of course sources of revenue. Companies that design for credibility have a strategic advantage over competition.
Website Credibility Checklist
Go over this list and see which of the following items you could add to your own site to boost credibility.
- Web design matters. People judge the book by their cover and your website by its design. If you designed your website yourself and you're not a designer, it sucks. Like many others before him, Dr. Brent Coker studied the impactof attractive websites on human behavior.This is what he said: "As aesthetically orientated humans, we're psychologically hardwired to trust beautiful people, and the same goes for websites. Our offline behaviour and inclinations translate to our online existence."Websites that are more attractive and include more trimmings create a greater feeling of trustworthiness and professionalism in consumers.
- Make your address and phone number visible at all times. Include it in the footer (a must), but depending on your site also in the header (especially if your business depends on incoming calls) and on the sidebar, in the microcopy.
- Make it very easy to contact you. 'Contact' link should be always in your navigation menu as the very last link.
- Simple language. People don't trust what they don't understand. Write like you talk using the same language your customers do.
- Correct spelling. Broken grammar and incorrect spelling certainly make you seem less credible. It's more forgivable in blog posts, but unacceptable on your home page, product pages and other more static pages.
- Provide staff bios and photos. People don't trust anonymous websites. If you don't show your photo, are you hiding something? Is it that you don't want people to recognize you on the street? People want to look you in the eye, enable it. Always use photos of the actual staff.
- Show photos of your office. If you have a real office with real people and stuff inside, I'll believe you more. You don't need to make yourself appear a bigger company that you are. Avoid stock photos.
- Avoid cheesy stock photos. Nothing says 'I'm fake' like suits shaking hands or smiling customer service people with the headset.
- Visible return and refund policies. What happens if I'm not happy with your service? People want to know in advance before making a purchase.
- Email policy. What will you do with my email address once I give it to you? Will you rent it, share it, sell it, spam people?
- Detailed product information. 50% of the online purchases are not completed due to insufficient information. Are there enough details for a reasonable conclusion about the information?
- Show prices. Many companies (and not just B2B) don't reveal their prices, and make people get in touch instead. People always want to know how much a product or service costs. If your competitors publish their prices, they're getting the business.
- Mention the number of your clients. If you have an impressive number of customers, say it out loud for social proof ("12 457 happy users" etc).
- Show a link with a reputable organization. Are you somehow connected to a university, a governmental agency, a research lab, or another reputable organization? Perhaps you're service provider, reseller, partner, sponsor, advisor or what not. If yes, tell the world.
- Use testimonials. Testimonials work well if they're by real people. Real people means that there are photos, full names, what they do, their employer. Well-known people are even better. Video testimonials are the best.
- Put customer reviews on your site and elsewhere. People still trust them. It's the upper hand Amazon has on everyone else.
- Display trust marks. Take credit card payments? Prove me it's safe (256-bit SSL encryption etc). Use The Verisign Seal or equivalent. Have people opt-in to your email list? Put a TRUSTe privacy seal on your site. And so on. Find out what's a known trust mark on among your customers, and use it.
- Maintain a blog or a latest news section. This does 2 things: 1) it shows your site is constantly updated and 2) provides free information to prove your expertise. A note of caution: if your latest news item was published 2 years ago ('We launched a new website!') or your last blog post was written a year ago, it communicates that you might have gone out of business. So if you can't regularly update your news or blog, you can do one of the 2 things: 1) not have one, or 2) remove the dates.
- A jobs page. You must be a real company if you're hiring
- Make sure it works. Dead links, non-functional forms and everything else that might seem broken will take away from your credibility.
- Have a social media outlet. If you have an active Twitter account or Facebook page, it furthermore shows there are real people behind the organization.
- No hype, blinking banners nor popups. If your site looks like a Christmas tree, you need to change that. Make sure the copy is hype-free, nothing blinks and just know that people hate all kinds of pop-ups. Don't use them unless you want to annoy people.
- Keep ads to a minimum. Too many ads kill the user experience and communicate that the user does not come first. Might also make you seem desperate. If your main income does NOT come from ads, don't use them at all.
- Website speed. If your website is slow and seems to takes forever to load (10+ seconds), people will certainly get doubts about you and leave. Use caching or a CDN. I personally use Cloudflare and am very happy with them.
- Be a good and honest person. If you're an a** and treat your customers bad, it will come out eventually. Be friendly, generous and honest – always.

Founded in 1983, Le Théâtre Zoopsie heralded the multimedia focus that came to dominate Quebec performance in the 1980s and 1990s, using video – live as well as pre-recorded – and the plastic arts to explore issues of space and locality and challenge conventions of narrative logic or linear development. For instance, Zoopsie's 1987 L'objet Rêvé featured an entirely dynamic, constantly metamorphosing background, a tele-present landscape that commenting on the staged action through its visible transformations; and the production combined random scenes and localities in a landscape whose colours, materials, patterns, and discontinuities created "hallucinatory effect" for the painter/sculptor/designer Claude-Paul Gauthier.
This multimedia revolution, picked up by several companies founded in the 1980s such as Agent Orange, Arbo Cyber Théâtre, Carbone 14, le Théâtre Ubu, Recto Verso, and culminating in Robert Lepage's Ex Machina, served to break open the stylistic frontiers of Quebecois theatre while at the same time calling into question traditional conceptions of the real, of the spatial, and indeed of "national" identity in a "Quebec" removed from time and space. Effectively theatre ceased to articulate the provincial aspirations to independence, offering the earliest evidence of a newly self-confident Quebec intelligentsia turning away from a narrow nationalism to make their mark on the global world of new technology.
More traditionally, Martha Ross and Leah Cherniak return from mime training with Jacques LeCoq and found Theatre Columbus in Toronto, dedicated to clown-based comic theatre. The company goes on to produce such hits as The Anger in Ernest and Ernestine; The Attic, The Pearls, and the Three Fine Girls; and The Betrayal. And, reimposing politics over aesthetic experiment (in clear contrast to developments in Quebec) the first, 20-minute version of This is for You, Anna: A Spectacle of Revenge is produced by Nightwood Theatre. This collective creation by The Anna Project tours theatres, women's shelters, and other venues, and goes on to claim a foundational place in feminist theatre in English Canada.
Playwrights Co-op (1971) and the Guild of Canadian Playwrights merge to become Playwrights Union of Canada, the major service organization for Canadian playwrights. The organization's publishing arm, Playwrights Canada Press, operates a major source of published play scripts.

The Rage of Love Trailer (1988)
01 October 1988 Drama 139 mins
Set in the Taisho era, which might be regarded as Japan's Hippie Phase, Hana no ran is a story about fashionable people without impulse control. Much of the action centers on a popular woman writer, the real-life poet Akiko Yosano, and her experiences among the literati of early 20th century Japan. Because of her independent, anti-war and often erotic poetry, she was a lightning rod for revolutionaries and other extremists, many of whom were destined to glamorous, yet ultimately pointless, deaths. The closest parallels might be the Byron/Shelley group or the people drawn to the Beat Generation.

So much for workplace smoking bans? E-cigarettes, vaper policies and its impact on healthcare
BY Terry Evans
FORT WORTH -- Chris Putnam lights up at his desk several times a day. And, surprisingly enough, nobody seems to care.
"We can pretty much do it anywhere we want," said Putnam, who is allowed to smoke electronic cigarettes while he handles phone and front-counter sales for XL Parts in Fort Worth.
By being allowed to use the e-cigarettes inside the workplace, Putnam and his co-workers at the auto parts distribution company who also use the devices say they get more work done. They are commonly known as "vapers."
It's difficult to tell how many employers are pro-vaping, said [Dr.] Carl V. Phillips, a spokesman for Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association.
Unfortunately, there's "an enormous amount of political pressure to shut down the freedom of e-cigarattes that has nothing to do with anything legitimate," he said.

Enbridge Inc. said on Friday that it returned its 491,000 barrel-a-day (BPD) Line 5 oil pipeline to service after repairing a leak in Michigan.
"We will have an update on Line 1 later today," company spokeswoman Lorraine Little said in an e-mail.
The company had shut Line 5, which is running from Superior in Wisconsin to Sarnia in Ontario, on Thursday to repair a small leak, estimated to have been less than three barrels at a site in Arenac County, Mich.
Enbridge also shut Line 1, a 237,000 BPD line that extends to Superior from Edmonton, due to high inventories at the end of that segment and lowered pressure on Line 5 to investigate other possible trouble spots of the leak.
"The temporary incremental pressure restriction is on Line 5 and will last until a review of similar features from inspection tool runs has been conducted," Ms. Little said.
The company's pipelines carry the bulk of Canada's crude exports to the United States.

"Free men cannot start a war, but once it is started, they can fight on in defeat." This compelling, dignified and moving novel was inspired by and based upon the Nazi invasion of neutral Norway. Set in an imaginary European mining town, it shows what happens when a ruthless totalitarian power is up against an occupied democracy with an overwhelming desire to be free.
©1942; 1970 John Steinbeck; Elaine A Steinbeck, Thom Steinbeck, John Steinbeck IV (P)2011 Penguin Audio
"my new all-time favorite"
riveting from the opening paragraph to the closing line with no let downs between. perfect book, both in story and in writing style, read perfectly by Guidall. I can't believe this is the same author who wrote Grapes of Wrath, which I put down after a few chapters out of boredom... this book is nothing like Grapes.
"A Village Resists the Nazis"
Classic tale of WW2 partisan resistance to a Nazi invader. Well written and performed flawlessly
"A beautiful piece of propaganda!"
This year I determined to read the classics -- and that gave me the gift of reading John Steinbeck! Now I am on a mission to read everything he has written. I will tell you right up front -- I love Steinbeck. This is my 8th book of his that I have read in less than two months. I like the attention he gives to every detail when describing his characters and settings. I love the simplicity with which he writes. I love that he can describe the worst of life but make it a beautiful exploration of social norms and values. And I think I also really like him -- not the author, the person. I like how much he desired to know people. I like his views on how we treat one another. I like him. So, my review may be biased. :)
This book was written for a purpose: to encourage people to stand up to evil and oppression. And it actually served that purpose. During WWII it was a best seller in many places, including France. And it was banned by the Germans. And now, 70 years later it stands up to the test of time. It should still remind us all not to allow a tyrant in; that when the tyrant takes control we should not stay silent; that we should always use our voices and our talents to object to the things we see that are evil or wrong.
In the early 1980s, during the cold war, I served in the USAF. I was taught a lot about the evils of propaganda. I was taught about the hatred it spews. I was taught about its inherent vices. But I never saw an example of a positive and beautiful piece of propaganda. Until now.
Having shared all my raves you may wonder why I didn't give the book 5 stars. I think there are two reasons. First, I am comparing it to The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men and Travels with Charley and it isn't quite as good. Second, I hated the ending. It felt like I was missing at least one chapter. It felt like a non-ending. Some may like this aspect, but I hated it and it resulted in the loss of one star.
"A great one but not the best"
liked it and enjoyed it but lower than my expectations. The finish could be better
"The theme was good but it was a bit boring
There were only some moments when I appreciated the story but that was all. eeh
"Good for Propaganda"
This is one of my least favorite Steinbeck. The writing of this novella was sponsored by the US government as propaganda against the Germans during WWII. Although the writing is good, it is not as good as any other Steinbeck novel. The story is about the occupation of a town in Europe by unnamed Invaders and the resistance to the occupation. It is interesting mainly due to its creation as propaganda.

How much do you know about R&D tax credits?
Did you know that for every £100 spent on R&D, you could qualify for £230 R&D tax credits relief?
Research and Development tax relief is a scheme by the HMRC which provides tax relief to businesses carrying out R&D projects for the purpose of achieving an advancement in science or technology, and which resolve scientific or technological uncertainties.
If you intend to carry out such a project, and meet the tax definition, then MAH can help you apply for all of the R&D tax credits relief your business is entitled to.
We have worked with a number of research and development businesses and helped them claim for R&D tax credits relief. This means that we have the experience and knowledge to process your R&D tax credits relief claim and take it all off your hands.
Some of the projects we have assisted with include:
– Fuel cell technology to turn waste hydrogen emissions into clean energy
– Fuel cell technology to create efficient hybrid buses
– Packaging strips that indicate a change in temperature and time
– SMS to voice technology
– Mobile phone applications
– Website/software platforms and SaaS
– Financial trading models/algorithms
– Plus more
For tech companies, we have also partnered up with a specialist consultant who used to be a software developer and has successfully completed over 200 R&D tax credits claims for software/website development ranging from £20,000 to £6m, all of which have been approved by HMRC with no enquiries.
How does the relief work?
More in depth information can be found at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/ct/forms-rates/claims/randd.htm.
However, the basic points are as follows:

• There is 100% additional tax relief, so for every £100 spent on R&D costs, the tax benefit is £230
• The tax relief can decrease a tax payment, or it can increase tax losses, which can then be offset against future profits
• Alternatively, if your business is a small to medium sized company making a loss, then you can choose to receive a CASH sum from HMRC to the value of the lowest option:
14.5% (or 11% pre 1/4/14) of the surrenderable loss*
Surrenderable loss is the lower of:
i) The unrelieved trading loss ie. including all other non-RD expenses
ii) 230% x R&D expenses
Do I qualify? – Key definitions and criteria
DTI Guidelines 2004 (enforced by Parliamentary regulations) defines R&D, and defines whether or not you quality for relief. Some of the paragraphs state:
Paragraph 3: "R&D for tax purposes takes place when a project seeks to achieve an advance in science or technology."
Paragraph 4: "The activities that directly contribute to achieving this advance in science or technology through the resolution of scientific or technological uncertainty are R&D."
Paragraph 5: "Certain qualifying indirect activities related to the project are also R&D."
What does this mean?
This means that a project may qualify for R&D tax relief if the project results in a new or appreciably improved:
– Process
– Material
– Device
– Product or service (paragraphs 8-9)
AND if there are uncertainties which cannot be readily resolved by a competent professional in the field (paragraphs 13-14)
Concerned that technology may privately already exist? You could still qualify
In paragraph 6 of the guidelines, there is a requirement which states that there must be an advancement in overall knowledge or capability. At first, many companies may feel that this doesn't apply to them. However, as shown in paragraph 11:
"If a particular advance in science or technology has already been made or attempted but details are not readily available (for example, if it is a trade secret), work to achieve such an advance can still be an advance in science or technology."
This means that technology may already exist privately, but if you are carrying out R&D for the purposes of unlocking a trade secret like this, then your project may still qualify for R&D tax relief.
As well as this, many software or R&D companies are deterred from claiming as they assume that only the biggest companies can claim for R&D if they are creating new technologies. However, if you have a new algorithm or piece of code which is not routine, then your project (or parts of it) may still qualify.
Which costs qualify?
Qualifying costs include employee pay, materials, software, utilities and more
SME's can also claim subcontractor costs in certain circumstances
Intellectual property rights
Even if you do not to own the intellectual property rights to any R&D, you could still qualify for tax relief.
Claims process – what needs to be done?
To qualify for R&D tax credits relief and continue receiving this relief, the project involved should be well documented, and records should be kept to show when R&D started and stopped. Details should also be recorded of all R&D work carried out. Whilst HMRC do not require detailed breakdowns of all of the R&D costs involved, there are a few sections to be filled in on the company tax return, and some calculations must be made.
Another key part of the application process is that a narrative must be submitted with the tax return to HMRC, which explains why the project is entitled to tax relief. This does not necessarily have to be very long, but it must touch on a specific set of points.
Sound complicated? We're here to take it off your hands and make it effortless
As you can see, MAH has an in-depth knowledge of the entire process, and considerable experience in scenarios where HMRC investigates a claim, so if you want an expert to handle the entire process and make sure it's carried out correctly (from applying for relief to documenting the project), then call MAH, Chartered Accountants today to speak to a specialist.

Viticulture: Practicing Organic

The Daily Beast: Germany's Wine Revolution is Just Getting Started
Dr. Vino: Ulli Stein and His Forbidden Wine
Ulrich "Ulli" Stein is a formidable figure in European winemaking – he has fought the E.U. on numerous viticulture points (and won!). While Ulli's wines are not widely known in the United States, he has nothing less than a fanatical following in Europe. He could likely sell every last bottle to his friends in Germany alone, yet there are places of some importance, like Noma in Copenhagen, that put in sizable orders for Stein wine.
Ulli Stein has an oenology degree from Geisenheim (the German oenological equivalent of Harvard) and a PhD in biology. However, Ulli is much more than a winemaker. He is a passionate advocate for the traditional steep slate vineyards of the Mosel. In 2010, Ulli published a manifesto warning of the threats to the region's 2,000-year-old viticultural tradition. Dan Melia wrote a beautiful summary of Stein's manifesto for Edward Behr's The Art of Eating. It is reproduced here with kind permission from the author and publisher. Ulli's primary interest is making wines that represent historical Mosel and doing all that he can to preserve the region's old vines. His wines are a glance into the past. They offer a rare insight into the Riesling that dazzled those 19th-century connoisseurs. They are as pure in spirit as they are in their delicate taste.
Ulli farms about 13 acres that have three commonalities: they are not easy to work, they are commercially unknown and, most importantly, Ulli loves them. The vineyards are on steep, Mosel hillsides near Bullay, down the Mosel River from Bernkastel. Many of the sites are steeper than forty-five degrees and can be up to 68 degrees. When it comes to viticulture like this, there are no shortcuts; everything must be done by hand. Ulli's parcels include low-yielding, ungrafted rootstock on blue slate. Organic viticulture is challenging, but is how he works, finding eco-alternatives in wet vintages.
In addition to Riesling, Ulli has red grape holdings. He planted Cabernet Sauvignon (native to western France), Sangiovese (native to Italy), and Pinot Noir (also called Spatburgunder), native to Burgundy. For years, growing red grapes in the Mosel was illegal. Ulli single-handedly overturned the ruling several years ago. While Riesling is still the region's prominent grape variety—almost exclusively—Ulli wanted to prove a point. Spatburgunder is Germany's most common red grape (and a logical choice, given that the Mosel's cool climate is similar in ways to Burgundy), but planting Sangiovese and Cabernet is outrageous given the Mosel's cool temperatures and the amount of heat and sunshine that the two latter grapes need to ripen. But when it comes to Ulli, it's not surprising that he plants all three. When asked why he chose these grapes, Ulli exclaimed, "As a joke! There is so much that is serious in the world already. I wanted to prove a point."

The coach has changed, the system has been simplified and the attitude has been revamped. But the results remained the same.
Although Monday's massive shake-up may have provided a wake-up call and a fresh outlook, it did not elicit a win.
The Islanders dropped their 11th straight game, 4-2, to Tampa Bay last night, in front of a season-low crowd of 8,025 in interim coach Jack Capuano's debut at Nassau Coliseum.
Although the Islanders generated chances aplenty (36), they gave up 40 in their own end. Marty St. Louis, Steven Stamkos and Brett Clark each had a goal and an assist for the Lightning, which lost six of its previous seven games.
"It's tough,'' the Islanders' Josh Bailey said. "You can't be giving up that many shots no matter who we're playing. [Dwayne Roloson} stood on his head once again and kept us in the game, but we've been having that too much lately. It's time for the forwards to step up and steal the game rather than rely on the goalie to keep us in it.''
Capuano's first game came two days after he replaced Scott Gordon, who took the fall for the losing streak.
In contrast to the heady, methodical style championed by his predecessor, Capuano seemed to favor a more basic, instinctual approach. Called by his charges as a "player's coach," Capuano told them to have fun and play hockey.
"I felt confident about myself and the team that we have," said Capuano, the 15th coach in franchise history. "The result wasn't there, but I felt pretty relaxed on the bench.''
But with the different approach also came growing pains, specifically on defense.
"We have some stuff to clean up in our zone, getting used to a new system,'' said Matt Moulson, who scored the Islanders' first goal. "You go from one system to the other, you have to get out of the habit of the old way of doing things."
After Stamkos tallied a power-play goal with only 0.3 of a second to play in the first and Brett Clark scored on a redirect the next period, Moulson made it 2-1 later in the second.
John Tavares also pulled the Islanders within a goal with a backhander at 18:52 of the third, but former teammate Nate Thompson's empty-netter with 15.5 seconds left sealed the Islanders' 11th straight loss.
The Islanders (4-11-3) have not scored more than twice in a game since a 5-3 loss to Montreal Oct. 27. Their 11 points is a league low.
"I've probably said it 38 times in the past four minutes, we're not scoring," said defenseman James Wisniewski, who leads the team with 14 points. "Something's got to happen, and then the floodgates will open."
Until they do, however, the Islanders still find themselves mired in the interminable slump that sealed Gordon's fate.
"We've got to find a way to win," Tavares said. "I thought in a lot of areas we did good things. Hopefully, we can use that moving forward."
Notes & quotes: Mattias Ritola's second-period charging major, for crushing Moulson along the boards, could bring supplementary discipline from the league. Tavares drew two minutes for roughing after pouncing on Ritola after the play.

Protect yourself from cowboys - always ask for a cleaners NCCA accreditation
The National Carpet Cleaners' Association exists to raise standards of expertise and knowledge among carpet, floor and upholstery cleaners, and thereby to protect the public and their furnishings from cleaners who are not properly trained.
Every member of the NCCA has undergone expert training - nobody can be a member without proper training.
NCCA members work to a stringent Code of Practice that protects the customer.
This NCCA website enables you to search online for a properly accredited NCCA cleaner in your area.
It is important for the health of your family, and your furnishings, that the cleaner you use fully understands which cleaning materials are environmentally friendly, which can trigger allergies in susceptible people, such as asthmatics, and which solvents and cleaning fluids are appropriate to each of the many types of carpets and furnishing fabrics in people's homes today.
The long life of your precious carpets and curtains depends on their being cleaned by an expert. Without regular cleaning, a carpet that could remain fresh and bright for thirty years will be dull and worn after as little as ten years. Which is why investing in expert cleaning makes sound financial sense.
So always look for an NCCA accredited cleaner, and always ask to see evidence of that accreditation before allowing a cleaner to work on your carpets, hard floors or furnishings.

The jurisdictional issue raised by Namah relates to the validity of the appointment of the tribunal members by Chief Justice Sir Salamo Injia on Oct 9.
Justice Goodwin Poole and senior magistrates Mark Selefkariu and Ernest Wilmot are the tribunal members.
Namah's lawyer Greg Sheppard appeared before Justice David Cannings in Waigani yesterday and said a party could come to the same court with new grounds to seek an interim injunction.
This included Sheppard giving to the court a copy of transcript of tribunal proceedings dated Oct 26 and Oct 27.
According to Sheppard the tribunal said it could not hear his application raising jurisdictional issues regarding its appointment by the Chief Justice because it had not received the referral yet from counsel assisting the tribunal.
The counsel assisting the tribunal is Public Prosecutor Pondros Kaluwin.
He said it was a matter of constitutional importance that needed to be determined by the Supreme Court before the tribunal convenes.
Lawyer Laias Kandi representing the first and second defendants, the tribunal members and the Public Prosecutor, opposed Namah's application.
Kandi said this was the same application which was refused by the court earlier but it was done under the guise of joining Sir Salamo as the fourth defendant in the proceedings.
Lawyer Michael Efi, representing the third defendant, the Ombudsman Commission, adopted Kandi's submissions. The court will give its ruling on Friday at 9am. The National

Plymouth, MA (PressExposure) October 13, 2009 -- The adage "beauty comes from within" doesn't just apply to the beauty of the soul...The beauty of your skin comes from within - and what you've been eating. The dermatologists at South Shore Skin Center know that beautiful skin depends on a number of factors and diet plays a significant part in your skin's health and beauty.
South Shore Skin Center practitioners share their insight on various foods that may (and those that may not) help you maintain beautiful skin:
Foods that are rich in antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables are highly beneficial to the skin.
Dairy is not beneficial to the skin, but it's not bad for it either. There has been some controversy about dairy causing acne, but the doctors at South Shore Skin Center maintain that dairy does not cause acne.
Whole grains that are low-fat are good for the skin. Bear in mind that grains such as flaxseed are better absorbed by the body if they are ground into meal before eating them. Adding at least one teaspoon of ground flaxseed to your diet per day is sufficient.
Good hydration is good for the skin. Beware of drinking beverages containing caffeine, which is a diuretic. Drinking a lot of caffeinated beverages is not recommended because caffeine in large amounts will have a dehydrating effect. Drinking water is best for hydration.
Try to eat foods that are rich in Omega 3s, which are essential fatty acids and benefit all organs. A typical diet that includes soybean oil has a much higher ratio of Omega 6, which actually blocks Omega 3 absorption. It's better to eat foods made with olive or canola oil as these have a low ratio of Omega 6 and will not block the absorption of Omega 3s.
"When it comes to the health and beauty of the skin, the foods that we eat really do play an important part," noted Dr. Richard Eisen, a board certified dermatologist and founder of South Shore Skin Center.
South Shore Skin Center's cosmetic services include Fraxel re:pair and re:store; Gentle YAG, innovative Laser, IPL (Intensive Pulse Light), Thermage and treatments for age spots, acne scarring, birth marks, tattoos and more. The practice also offers a full range of affordable anti-aging services including Botox, wrinkle fillers, Microdermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing and chemical peels.
South Shore Skin Center offices are located at 223 Chief Justice Cushing Highway, Suite 202 in Cohasset, Mass. (781) 383-3340, and 45 Resnik Road, Suite 102 in Plymouth, Mass., (508) 747-0711. For more information, visit their website SouthShoreSkinCenter.com.

Remember the reason for the Lent season
We're in the second week of Lent, how's the giving up something for Lent working out? So far, probably doing OK. However, as the weeks in Lent go by, the temptation to go back to the old routine will probably be too compelling. Before we know it, our "fast" from our luxury item is broken and once again we are enjoying it. Why do we put ourselves through this every Lent? What good does it do to give something up, during this 40-day journey known as Lent? This "fasting" from a favorite item/activity becomes a journey focused on ourselves. Will I succeed? Or will I succumb and not make it to the "finish line" on Easter Sunday, April 16th? Fasting becomes nothing more than a self-absorbing act; patting our self on the back because our tongue hasn't tasted chocolate in four weeks. Fasting, during Lent, is not about personal victory and breaking the ribbon at the finish line.
Fasting during Lent is about relationship. Fasting during Lent is about recognizing we NEED God. By denying ourselves, something of the flesh, allows us to be drawn into a deeper relationship with God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. When our focus is turned to Christ, we discover our needs are met and our selfish desires diminish. When our focus is turned to Christ, Christ realigns our eyesight from our navels to the needs of those around us and throughout the world.
In Isaiah 58, we learn that God desires The Fast to be a lifestyle of serving others. Fasting is about humility, breaking the chains of injustice, getting rid of exploitation in the workplace, freeing the oppressed, canceling debts, feeding the hungry, providing for the homeless, clothing those without, and being a loving presence in your own family (verses 5-7).
Living a life of servanthood is impossible without God's help. True Fasting goes hand in hand with a deeper and richer prayer life. Fasting during Lent, is so much more than giving up a personal enjoyment. Fasting during Lent, is a springboard to a lifestyle change. A lifestyle change where Christ becomes the center of your life, opening your eyes to the needs of the world. Through prayer, we receive the courage and strength to follow the path Christ leads. Through prayer, God empowers us to hold to The True Fast - being humble servants to the stranger.
As we pray at Immanuel Lutheran, Compassionate God, sustain us in our Lenten pilgrimage: may our fasting be hunger for justice; our alms, a making of peace; and our prayer, the song of grateful hearts; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Join us for worship at Immanuel Lutheran Church (1226 E. Washington St., Washington) on Sundays 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. or Wednesdays 6 p.m.

The renal collecting duct (CD) contains two major cell types, intercalated (ICs) and principal cells (PCs). A previous report showed that deletion of β-1 integrin in the entire renal CD causes defective CD morphogenesis resulting in kidney dysfunction. However, subsequent deletion of β-1 integrin specifically in ICs, and PCs respectively did not cause any morphological defects in the CDs. The discrepancy between these studies prompts us to reinvestigate the role of β-1 integrin in CD cells, specifically in the PCs. We conditionally deleted β-1 integrin in mouse CD PCs using a specific AQP2 promoter Cre-LoxP system. The resulting mutant mice, β-1f/fAQP2-Cre+ had lower body weight, failed to thrive and died around 8 to 12 weeks. Their CD tubules were dilated and some of them contained cellular debris. Increased apoptosis and proliferation of PCs were observed in the dilated CDs. Trichrome staining and electron microscopy revealed the presence of peritubular and interstitial fibrosis that is associated with increased production of extracellular matrix proteins including collagen type IV and fibronectin, as detected by immunoblotting. Further analysis revealed a significantly increased expression of TGF-β induced protein, fibronectin, and TGF-β receptor-1 mRNAs, and concomitantly increased phosphorylation of SMAD-2 that indicates the activation of the TGF-β signaling pathway. Therefore, our data reveals that normal expression of β-1 integrin in PCs is a critical determinant of CD structural and functional integrity, and further supports the previously reported critical role of β-1 integrin in the development and/or maintenance of the CD structure and function.

Een kijkje achter de schermen van de nieuwe DSM-V: Psychiatry's bible: Its time has passed
the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, which psychiatrists turn to when diagnosing the distressed individuals who turn up at their offices seeking help. Regularly referred to as the profession's bible, the DSM is in the midst of a major rewrite, and feelings are running high.Two
eminent retired psychiatrists are warning that the revision process is fatally flawed. They say the new manual, to be known as DSM-V, will extend definitions of mental illnesses so broadly that tens of
millions of people will be given unnecessary and risky drugs. Leaders of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), which publishes the manual, have shot back, accusing the pair of being motivated by their own financial interests - a charge they deny. The row is set to come to a head next month when the proposed changes will be published online.

Heading Out To Funde Razor
I am officially leaving the house to head over to The Mercury Cafe right now.
I am officially leaving the house to head over to The Mercury Cafe right now.
I just unpacked my guest room in preparation for this week's Funde Razor here in Denver. Before you sits the wall of stuff I'll be giving away as door prizes throughout the night. Keep in mind that the stuff in the back is sitting on top of boxes of other stuff. I didn't use fancy risers to take this picture.
Just another friendly reminder that Funde Razor, the party for Child's Play, gets its philanthropy on in three locations including Denver on Wednesday. It's also another excuse to post that awesome Lego art.
It's the season of giving. Right now, we're going to give you a reminder and a round-up. Happy Holidays!
We're a week away from the second annual Denver Funde Razor.
Now in it's fourth year, Joel Johnson's Funde Razor is taking over a third city this time around adding San Francisco to the Child's Play events in Denver and New York City. Here in Denver, the Kotaku-backed Funde Razor will be at The Mercury Cafe, 2199 California Street, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. For a $10 minimum…
OK, get out those calendars. I've set the time for this year's Child's Play Funde Razor in Denver. The event will be held at The Mercury Cafe downtown on Dec. 10 from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. The cover will be a $10 minimum donation and that will get you a ticket for a chance to win some of the awesome schwag I'll be…

Before getting in to the details, let us initially work out what cloud hosting is, a term that is commonly used by every single hosting provider out there. To put it in simple words, this form of hosting is largely being offered these days by business cloud hosting service providers, and they sure have gained lots of popularity with time. All of the resources that are necessary for the maintenance of a business website are spread across a number of web servers, and are rendered on a more so 'need' basis. The major benefit that this particular technology has to offer is that of reduced downtimes in case of hardware failure or server malfunctions.

LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech football coach Tommy Tuberville has left the gridiron and taken to the political airwaves.
Appearing on Sean Hannity's conservative talk show on Fox earlier this week, the Texas Tech football coach said he thought President Barack Obama wasn't releasing his birth certificate because there was something he didn't want seen.
Speaking before the president released his birth certificate, Tuberville said the country's got enough controversy and why didn't the president just produce it.
In the coach's words, "Obviously, there's got to be something on there he doesn't want anybody to see." He also said the country "can't keep going" the direction it is now.

Balanced / Differential Input Question
I want to clarify what the difference is between
differential and balanced.
I see various types of input stages, some
are single ended input (+sig and ground)
called "differential amplifier input stage" as
shown here;
Then I see differential input balanced as shown here;
Is this statement true?
I can design a differential input stage that is either
has balanced or unbalanced inputs ?
Last question, there seems to be alot of pro
equipment with 600 ohm balanced outputs,
is this the industry standard to allow best
interfacing from one equipment to another
to minimize noise from long cable runs ?
Systems with 600 ohm output, is best performance
achieved if you connect it to a 600 ohm input
or can the input he 10k ohm balanced?
Do people concern themselves with the 600 ohm
design when doing home audio or is it just limited
to the prosound/broadcast industries?
Re: Balanced / Differential Input Question
If it is true what tiroth says, that the output is able to drive 600 ohm loads I'll be really surprised! A 600 ohm input impedance is very low.. Haven't ever seen it though.
Several people explained to me the 600 ohms 'standard' isn't a standard at all, and people who don't do their design work allright use this.. So, I don't think people should design to this..

Driver jailed for killing friend in crash
A SPEEDING driver who killed his best friend in a three-vehicle crash was jailed for three years yesterday.
Darren Luke's souped-up Subaru Impreza was doing 74mph in a 40mph zone on the wrong side of an Edinburgh street when it hit a car and a van.
The 30-year-old was cut from the wreckage suffering broken ribs, a fractured pelvis and other major injuries.
But the offshore worker's friend, father-of-two Billy Casement, was declared dead at the scene.
Luke, of Edinburgh, who has a previous conviction for speeding, wept in the dock at the High Court in Edinburgh last month after he was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving.
Housing association handyman Mr Casement, 30, could not be saved by the emergency services called to the scene of the smash on Edinburgh's Maybury Road.
Witnesses told how the Subaru ploughed into a Renault Clio being driven by Brian Hutton.
In court, Mr Hutton, of South Queensferry, said that he could remember his wife Gillian's piercing screams before the sickening collision.
He said: "There was this almighty thud. The airbags deployed and the car was full of smoke."
The impact was so great it "sheared" off one of the Clio's rear wheels before the Subaru then struck a van being driven by offshore worker Frank Ballantyne, 48, who suffered a shoulder injury.
There was this almighty thud. The airbags deployed and the car was full of smoke
After Luke was found guilty following a trial, it emerged he had been convicted of drugs offences at Edinburgh District Court in 2007, and had been fined £500 and banned from driving for six months for speeding in 2003.
Jailing Luke, judge Lord Brodie said he accepted he had suffered depression, insomnia and panic attacks following the crash.
He said: "Billy Casement was 30 years old when he died. He left a wife and two young children.
"Your dangerous driving has had the effect of taking away one life but has also caused inestimable damage to the lives of others. No sentence can undo that."
Lord Brodie also banned Luke from driving for five years and ordered him to re-sit his test before returning to the road.
Speaking days after the accident, Mr Casement's wife Laura, who was unavailable for comment yesterday, said: "My girls are going to grow up without their dad and I'm a widow at 29.
"My little Lucy keeps repeating that her dad is 'up in the sky'.
"He worked so hard. All he wanted was to provide for his family. We were inseparable and loved each other so much. I'll never know that comfort again. I have to hope to meet him again some day."

Wyoming Public Schools scores students on the report card using PERCENTAGES. A student scoring at 80% or above has demonstrated mastery of that standard. A "P" on the report card shows that the students PRACTICING the skill but has not been assessed.
Report cards are sent home at the end of each quarter. Some standards are assessed EVERY quarter, some standards are not. Some of the standards have END OF THE YEAR BENCHMARKS. This means that the goal is that the student will be at or above 80% by the end of the year.
WPS uses a standards based report card. Standards are defined in all of the content areas: Language Arts (reading and writing) Mathematics Science Social Studies
The AFFECTIVE section of the report card looks at students work habits and behavior. Students are rated on a number scale. 4=Excellent 3=Most of the Time 2=Some of the Time 1=Seldom
Students in Wyoming Public Schools attend 5 "special" classes during the week. Art Music Physical Education (PE) Media (ME) Computer Programming (CP) The teachers of these classes rate students as either satisfactorily or not satisfactorily participating and developing skills in that area.
Attendance is very important for academic success! Each student's attendance history is include on the report card.
SRI stands for Scholastic Reading Inventory. This is a test that our students take at the end of first grade and will continue to take until they graduate. It measures the students reading ability, more specifically, their ability to comprehend (understand) what they are reading. The scoring guide at the top of the report card will show the range expected for proficiency at the end of the year in that grade level. The student's score on this assessment is in the "Tests" section on the report card.
SRI - Goals for the end of the year are shown in the scoring guidelines box at the top of the report card.
DIBELS stands for Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills. Elementary students are tested on the DIBELS 3x per year. One of the assessments that DIBELS tests on is an Oral Reading Fluency assessment. Students are given a grade level passage and are asked to read the passage out loud. The teacher times the student for one minute and records the number of words read correctly in that minute. The scoring guidelines show the goal for the number of words read in a minute. This is recorded on the report card in two different ways. The first is in the language arts section. The second is under the "Tests" section.
One of the tests of the DIBELS assessment looks at students Oral Reading Fluency (how many words a student can read correctly out loud in one minute). This appears on the report card for 1st through 4th grade. 1.RD.1 = First Grade 2.RD.1 = Second Grade 3.RD.1 = Third Grade 4.RD.1 = Fourth Grade The numbers shown next to this standard are NOT percentages. They are the actual number of words the student read in one minute. The scoring guidelines shows what the goal is for the student's grade level.
When students take the DIBELS, they are tested on more than one assessment. The "Tests" section on the report card shows their composite score which is a number calculated to represent their overall level when combining the assessments given. The "level" will show if the student is CORE (at benchmark), STRATEGIC (need some support) or INTENSIVE (needing intensive support.)
The 16 and 51 next to 1.RD.1 represent the NUMBER OF WORDS the student read correctly in one minute. The scoring guidelines show that the benchmark for winter was 23 words so this child was below that benchmark. The benchmark for spring is 47 words and so this child was at benchmark on the spring assessment.

I'm trying to obtain on part of a client a refund for 'minor works' deposit that was paid to the town hall.
As it's minor works, no work took place outside and therefor no damage to the road/pavement etc could occur. The office have said there is no reason for this deposit NOT to be returned now, but they admit that deposits are not being returned as they have no money.
I'm now considering asking for their formal complaints procedure, has anyone any tips, suggestions etc on this type of complaint, besides the usual (I wish you luck, you have no chance and all those other comments….!)
- January 13, 2010 at 1:07 pm #95896
Definately go through the formal complaints. It should be seen seriously enough for the police to become involved as this really is theft! Your money was a deposit and should have been in an escrow account.
I know they are hot about that AND not just anyone can have a clients account – tends to be lawyers only!! When we wanted one yeasr ago we were advised by Barclays it would have to be in conjunction with a Law firm!
Once you get shirty with them, they will probably 'find' the money!
Good luck!

A Gnostic scholar once wrote "Within each natural man is an "inner man," a fallen spark of the divine substance." If the fallen spark of the divine is the inner man-is the fallen flesh (the outerman) of the demonic substance? If the inner spark is the divine is the outer spark the disturbed, the evil, the demonic...? The scholar completed his thoughts with "Since this exists in each man, we have the possibility of awakening from our stupefaction."
