2017 is here! It's a brand new calendar year that Big Blue Door would like to share with you! We have new classes and new shows and some long-dreamed up projects coming down the pike! Winter classes are in session! Big Blue Door's latest Improv I is filling up fast. It runs on Tuesday evenings starting January 24th and we're extending our bargain holiday price of $155! This is Charlottesville's only full-fledged longform improv comedy course. It's taught by Big Blue Door co-founder Joel Jones. Longform improv is comedy that draws from your own experiences, observations, and peeves to create rich characters and situations. You'll be amazed and delighted by all the stuff in your head!
This winter Big Blue Door offers its first-ever Telling True Stories II. It's an advanced Telling True Stories seminar for graduates of our introductory course that will feature new styles, new exercises, more in-depth assignments, longer and shorter formats, and two class showcases! Participants will even be invited to work with our improvisers!
The Experience is Big Blue Door's new storytelling and improv comedy show, featuring veterans Larry Goldstein, Nauder Namaky, Brian Weisbrod, Deborah Arenstein, and Finn Mehigan performing with invited storytellers and rotating members of Big Blue Doors' company of performance ensembles. They'll have two preview shows in January. Big Blue Door Improv Night on Thursday, January 19th at Cville Coffee, and then Saturday, January 28th at Front Porch.
Big Blue Door has a new regular performance venue. On the fourth Fridays between January and June we'll be presenting shows at The Front Porch! On January 28th we'll inaugurate the space with a preview version of The Experience.

Okay, Mommy.
Next to "I love you," these have got to be the sweetest words I hear from my two tikesters.
I want you to tidy up after you are done, okay? Okay, Mommy.
Please stop when I tell you to stop, okay? Okay, Mommy.
You're going to sleep through the night tonight and stay in your bed until morning time, okay? Okay, Mommy.
Yes, I know that they will forget and that I will have to say the same thing over and over again before they actually internalize the message, but when they look at me with their innocent eyes and say those two words, I always feel the hope well up within me that they might just, this time, actually do what it is that they agreed to do.

Every act, every deed of justice and mercy and benevolence, makes heavenly music in Heaven.
I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and making others happy.
There can be no justice without truth. And there can be no truth, unless someone rises up to tell you the truth.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor.
We must weed out corruption and build a strong system of justice that the people can trust.
Equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air: we all have it, or none of us has it. That is the truth of it.
There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts.
At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.
Every step toward justice requires suffering and struggle; the tireless concern of dedicated individuals.
I have been surrounded by the most caring lawyers, by agents who are willing to risk their lives for others.
Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.
I realized in law school is that I'd never think the same again - being a lawyer is a part of who I am now.
It is not what a lawyer tells me I may do; but what humanity, reason, and justice tell me I ought to do.
Justice in the life and conduct of the State is possible only as first it resides in the hearts of the citizens.
Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.

Colloquium: Karen Wickett, "Accounting for Context in Markup: Which Situation, Whose Semantics?"
Title: Accounting for Context in Markup: Which Situation, Whose Semantics?
Speaker: Karen Wickett (UT Austin iSchool)
Abstract: Situation semantics - as developed by Barwise and Perry - is a general theory of meaning for natural language, and can be used to understand the role of context in markup and metadata semantics. While the notion of a
discourse situation provides many of the right hooks for accounting for contextual assignment of meaning to markup structures, there are still many open questions. One critical issue is that situation semantics itself is open enough to allow many different approaches to identifying the relevant discourse situation. Three core types of discourse situations for descriptive markup - documentary, transport, and discovery - lead to distinct features in the discourse situations connected to those scenarios. Beyond developing a fuller picture of the discourse situations that shape the meaning of markup, this modeling exercise lays essential groundwork for a full analysis of the assignment of meaning to metadata
Speaker Bio:
Karen Wickett completed a Postdoctoral position in 2014 at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her core research interests are in the conceptual foundations of information organization systems and the semantics of metadata vocabularies. Wickett has taught courses in information organization, information modeling, and data curation at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science and worked in several research projects hosted by the Center for Informatics Research in Science and Scholarship. She has participated in the development of a framework of concepts around the encoding and transmission of scientific data as part of the Data Conservancy, an NSF Datanet project, and has conducted research on relationships between collection-level and item-level metadata as part of the IMLS Digital Collections and Content project.

Why the Petraeus and Kubasik Affairs Are Different
It's telling that Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) is one of the few sticking up for former CIA Director David Petraeus, who resigned on Nov. 9 after revealing that he'd had an extramarital affair. She stepped off the moral high ground to issue a pragmatic statement reminding everyone that the four-star general was good at his job, loved his work, and had a command of intelligence issues "second to none." As Feinstein pointed out, his exit is "an enormous loss for our nation's intelligence community and for our country." And she said she regrets that President Obama accepted Petraeus's resignation.
To be sure, as our top spymaster, Petraeus should be held to a higher standard than most, given the consequences of leaving himself vulnerable to blackmail. But that's a unique aspect of his job, not the logical outcome of sleeping with a woman other than his wife of 37 years. Breaking the bonds of one's marriage is undoubtedly in bad taste, not to mention bad judgment for anyone in high-profile jobs. It's not always grounds for dismissal.
The prime consideration in firing someone should be whom they're sleeping with. If Petraeus's mistress turns out to be Paula Broadwell, the Harvard researcher who co-wrote his biography, then Feinstein's support may be justified. That assumes he did not violate any laws—such as filing false expense reports or giving Broadwell access to classified material.
The same can't be said for the other person who lost his job on Friday because of an affair: Lockheed Martin (LMT) President and incoming Chief Executive Officer Christopher Kubasik. Like Petraeus, Kubasik released a statement filled with self-flagellating prose about his failure to live up to his usual high standards. He failed, all right: Kubasik was sleeping with an employee. Not only did that leave him and Lockheed vulnerable to charges of sexual harassment and discrimination, it's an unacceptable abuse of power. That's why sleeping with a subordinate—which means anyone on the payroll when you're CEO—violates most corporate ethics codes.
You don't have to look far to find examples of why it can be a problem. Best Buy's (BBY) Brian Dunn was fired earlier this year after an internal audit concluded that he'd been romantically involved with a subordinate; Restoration Hardware's (RH) Gary Friedman left the same way. At Best Buy, the young woman reportedly delighted in telling co-workers about the perks she was getting from the boss. (The company has declined to comment formally on the case.) Meanwhile, former Boeing (BA) chief Harry Stonecipher's affair with a senior executive in the Washington office a few years ago sent the airplane manufacturer reeling. Among other things, Boeing's previous CEO, Phil Condit, had resigned in an unrelated scandal.
The issues aren't hard to understand. When it's your boss who's making a move, it's kind of hard to say no—even if he is technically married and sometimes decades older. When the affair ends, as many do, it's the person without the golden parachute and press release who heads first for the door. As boards know all too well, that's often the first person to then file a lawsuit for harassment.
Some situations can be complicated: Former Stryker (SYK) CEO Stephen MacMillan did have an affair with someone he met at work. But he says he started dating Jennifer Koch, a former flight attendant on his corporate jet, only after she quit her job and he had filed for divorce. Moreover, he was so concerned about any perception of impropriety that he even gave the board a heads-up on his intentions. (MacMillan was forced out earlier this year, in any case.) Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) board, on the other hand, fired Mark Hurd after it found "inappropriate payments" related to his alleged relationship with a contractor. In short, he was allegedly filing personal meals with her as business expenses on his T&E reports, a firing offense even if you're not having sex with your lunch mate.
So where does that leave Petraeus, besides without a job? Maybe he quit out of embarrassment and a desire to spare everyone a messy investigation. Maybe he was pushed out in the belief that the country's top intelligence chief no longer had the credibility to do the job. When you're managing a network of spies and searching for signs of blackmail, that's a legitimate concern.
But let's not forget that the top ranks have long been littered with people whose judgment on personal matters was at odds with their areas of expertise, from ex-presidents to late-night TV hosts. Some went on to recover their reputations. Some didn't. But falling in love with one person while married to another should not, in itself, be sufficient to push a talented leader out of a critical job.

Faux leather leggings are an item that I've had my eye on forever. On a trip to Express, I found these! I wasn't sure how they'd fit on my but decided to try them anyway and I actually liked the fit. I don't have any regrets on this buy because… I feel that these are so versatile and can be worn in so many way! Dress them up or dress them down, however they're worn, they'd make a nice outfit.
This time, I decided to pair them with OTK boots and the prettiest sweater which seems to have sold out, but I am linking a similar item for you. I love that ruffle details on this sweater – apparently I have a thing for ruffles. 🙂 And as far as accessories, I didn't really wear much other than my go-to handbag, earrings and the Starbucks cup (which seems to be a thing with me lately).

Nowhere will be safe this summer as the effects of Marvel's "Fear Itself" event are felt everywhere in the 616, including underwater. Namor the Sub-Mariner finds himself faced with a threat so overwhelming that even the arrogant king of the seas thinks he might need some backup and recruits some familiar friends: the Silver Surfer, Dr. Strange and She-Hulk. Announced earlier at C2E2, writer Cullen Bunn ("The Sixth Gun") and artist Lee Garbett ("Batgirl") will launch the four-issue "Fear Itself: The Deep" this July to explore just how this conflict plays out. CBR News spoke with Bunn about the line-up, how they play off of one another and a threat scary enough to need such a powerful team of heroes to stop it.
"The Defenders vibe is intentional," Bunn told CBR. "The story kicks off with Namor calling upon his old allies to help him face an enemy that he cannot defeat on his own. For various reasons, the team that comes to his aid is a slightly different take on the classic Defenders line-up."
Even with Dr. Strange no longer holding the title of Sorcerer Supreme, his power combined with She-Hulk, the Silver Surfer and Namor -- who Bunn posits might be the most physically powerful of all the mutants -- makes for an impressive squad. This begs the question, who could possibly give them any trouble?
"At this point, the villains -- there are several -- must remain a secret," Bunn said. "Suffice it to say, there is a villain Namor has faced before, a powerful group of villains with ties to the Defenders and some new threats who will be harrowing our heroes."
As if the threats weren't enough to deal with, Bunn also found himself juggling the egos and personalities of some classic characters.
"When I first started looking at it I was kind of sweating of it because I've got to cement this team together when they have such different personalities," Bunn remembered. "Readers aren't just going to accept 'Let's all work together' anymore. At first I was sweating a little bit, but then when I got into the scripting of it I had a ton of fun with playing almost against type in some cases. You've got Namor and he's smug, he's the guy you love to hate sometimes, but it was a lot of fun to play with that arrogance. He's facing a foe in this book that he doesn't stand a chance against and that's something that takes him aback a little bit. Here's a foe that Namor, who is arguably the most physically powerful of the mutants, can't face on his own. His arrogance and power aren't going to win this battle for him."
While arrogance might be the trait he's most well known for, it will be Namor's fear that gets played up as well in "The Deep" as it ties into the greater story of "Fear Itself."
"The primary villain of the piece has direct ties to the greater Fear Itself storyline, but it's the rising level of fear that opens the doorway, so to speak, for an otherwordly threat to spill into our world," Bunn said. "Over the years, Namor has had to contend with all sorts of opponents and obstacles. But this time, his biggest obstacle is his own fear and his most lethal opponent may just be himself."
While no stranger to the world of comics having kicked off his career with creator owned books like "The Damned" and "The Sixth Gun" before moving on to "Deadpool Team-Up," "Superman/Batman" and "Captain America" stories, "The Deep" marks Bunn's first foray into the world of event comics, but it's an experience the writer enjoyed.
"It was a lot of fun," Bunn said of scripting the issues. "It's obviously a different experience now because there are so many moving parts that I have to be aware of. You have to be aware of what's going in [your] series and the one next to you. There were characters I wanted to use and they said, 'Well you can't use them and here's why.' [Marvel] showed me the outline to 'Fear Itself' and it made perfect sense."
"Fear Itself: The Deep" surfaces in comic shops this july from Cullen Bunn and Lee Garbett.

Today we are extremely happy to announce an all new AeroGear UnifiedPush Server!
The UnifiedPush Server comes with a completely rewritten Angular.js based UI and is now powered by Keycloak! Thanks to the Keycloak team for the great work they delivered helping the AeroGear team to make the Keycloak integration happen.
Getting started
Getting started w/ the new server is still very simple:
- Setup a database (here is an example for the H2 Database engine. Copy into $JBOSS/standalone/deployments)
- Download the two WAR files (core and auth) and copy into $JBOSS/standalone/deployments
- Start the JBoss server
The 0.11.0 release contains a lot of new features, here is a more detailed list:
- Keycloak Integration for user management
- Angular.js based AdminUI
- Metrics and Dashboard for some Analytics around Push Messages
- Code snippet UI now supports Swift
- and a lot of fixes and other improvements! See JIRA for all the items
Besides the improvements on the server, we also have some Quickstarts to help you get going with the Push Server
- Push HelloWorld for Android, Apache Cordova and iOS (ObjC and Swift)
- Push-enabled Mobile Contacts Database
Hello World
The HelloWorld is a set of simple clients that show how to register a device with the UnifiedPush Server. On the Admin UI of the server you can use the "Send Push" menu to send a message to the different applications, running on your phone.
Mobile Contacts Quickstart
The Mobile Contacts Quickstart is a Push-enabled CRUD example, containing several client applications (Android, Apache Corodva and iOS) and a JavaEE-based backend. The backend app is a secured (Picketlink) JAX-RS application which sends out push messages when a new contact has been created. Sometimes the backend (for a mobile application) has to run behind the firewall. For that the quickstart contains a Fabric8 based Proxy server as well.
Thanks again to the Keycloak team for their assistance.
Now, get your hands dirty and send some push messages! We hope you like the new server!
Next ?
We are now polishing the server for the 1.0.0 push release this summer. See the roadmap for details.

Windows Store Rebranded to Microsoft Store
It's been a little over two years since Windows 10 launched, and Microsoft decided it's now time to change the name of its app and music store it we all know as the Windows Store. So get ready to say goodbye to the Windows Store and hello to the Microsoft Store.
As The Verge reports, the latest Release Preview of Windows 10 includes a rebranding of the Windows Store. It's not just the name that's changing, the icon is different too and now depicts a shopping bag with the Microsoft four square logo in the center.
By changing the name to Microsoft Store, it now matches the bricks-and-mortar stores Microsoft is steadily rolling out in major markets. The latest of those has just been announced for Regent Street in London. Naming them the same could be a little confusing as they offer different products, but maybe this is a sign they won't for much longer.
A crossover of products would make sense. Offering the whole range of Surface products, third-party hardware, and Xbox-branded goods through the digital Microsoft Store could certainly boost sales, especially if it was combined with free delivery or in-store pick-up options. For the physical stores, there are marketing opportunities galore centered around "leaving the Microsoft Store but taking it with you," for example.
We'll have to wait and see if that's what Microsoft is planning. For now, just be prepared for the name Windows Store to disappear from your Windows 10 experience.

Indirect Cost Guidance Manual
Nutrition Services Division Management Bulletin
Purpose: Policy, Beneficial Information
To: School Nutrition Program Sponsors
Attention: Food Service Director
Number: USDA-SNP-22-2011
Date: September 2011
Reference: United States Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service, Policy Memo SP 41-2011
Subject: Indirect Cost Guidance Manual
This Management Bulletin notifies National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) sponsors that on July 7, 2011, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued guidance on program rules pertaining to indirect costs.
On December 13, 2010, President Obama signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, reauthorizing the legislation that governs all child nutrition programs. Section 307(a) (Public Law 111-296) requires the USDA, Food and Nutrition Service to provide guidance on program rules regarding indirect costs.
Action Required
Due to the complexity of this issue, the California Department of Education, Nutrition Services Division (NSD) strongly recommends that NSLP and SBP sponsors review the USDA indirect costs guidance manual with their business officers, accounting officials, and legal representatives.
The USDA's indirect cost guidance is available on the USDA Web site at http://www.fns.usda.gov/indirect-cost-guidance.
Please submit all questions and comments regarding the guidance manual to the Resource Management Unit by email to email@example.com.

Alastair Tweedie, Editor of Housing Technology, investigates how North East housing association, Bernicia Group, is successfully monitoring performance and making critical business plans thanks to Intuitive Dashboards.
Bernicia Group has implemented a visual analytics and business intelligence system from Intuitive Business Intelligence for better performance management. The BI dashboard system extracts key information from Bernicia's SQL databases for housing and CRM as well as from a number of spreadsheets, giving Bernicia's end-users graphical access to critical metrics and trends across housing, tenant profiling and employee statistics.
Intuitive Dashboards unites critical management information from existing disparate data sources and presents end-users with relevant information in a visually-engaging, interactive dashboard format. By delivering proactive alerts to potential variances and shortfalls, as well as highlighting trends, users can take action to maintain performance levels and maximise opportunities.
Gary Hind, Head of IT, Bernicia Group, said, "It is imperative that we can monitor our performance accurately and focus on areas that need immediate attention. Previously, we gathered data from numerous databases and spreadsheets, but this was timeconsuming to collate and present and made it difficult to achieve a consistent view of our performance.
"Using Intuitive Dashboards, we now have real-time access, giving us an accurate picture of where we are heading. The ability to review our historical performance, as well as visualising a forward-looking perspective, is extremely powerful for business planning." The next phase of the project will see Intuitive Dashboards implemented over the housing provider's Oracle database for its contractor system and with its finance package. Bernicia also plans to implement dashboards to report on its data capture and document management systems, OnBase and Readsoft, also supplied by ProcessFlows.
John Harrison, IT Governance and Project Manager, Bernicia Group, said, "Intuitive Dashboards is extremely straightforward to use, delivering customised, graphical views of our key information and allowing us to drill-down to analyse data more deeply with just a few clicks. We now have instant access to the key information required by our users to interpret and act on."

Garden City man ordered to pay restitution in tax fraud case, officials say
A Garden City man was spared jail time but ordered to pay more than $27,000 in restitution on charges of tax fraud because he failed to remit sales tax receipts earned at his New Hyde Park auto body shop, officials said Monday.
Gerald Losquadro, 62, the former operator of New Hyde Park Auto Body Works, located at 801 Second Ave., was sentenced Wednesday to a conditional discharge and ordered to pay $27,588 in restitution to the state, according to a new release from the state Department of Taxation and Finance.
Losquadro was charged last year with third-degree grand larceny, first-degree offering a false instrument for filing, and third and fourth-degree criminal tax fraud on allegations that from September 2009 to December 2010 he collected $27,588 in sales tax from his customers, but did not remit it to the state, the release said.

December is Julie's month so December was the month for my interview with this new author and roommate of our famous featured ghost, Julie Glenette. Her new book is now released asn of April 2016.
Have a bit of Q & A
What is the title if your book:
Julie's Spirit A New Orleans Ghost Story
Glynette you are a California girl who fell for NOLA and made it your second home. If I understand right it was not until you came here that you became interested in ghosts. Why do you think that is?
Yes. Living in New Orleans is so opposite of California. Plus I grew up hearing ghosts were bad, dark and against my religion. But I moved here bought a haunted house (maybe accidentally or on purpose ), I didn't know the house was haunted. The house just spoke to me… I got sucked in. Things started happening, ghost tours gathered below my window – I starred to research and began to pay attention.
A decade if ago someone told you you would be writing a ghost book and be communicating with sprits what would you have said?
It would be fun… But are you crazy.
Though this book is mainly about Julie it is also abut you and your interaction with the spirit world. Tell us: what is the most surprising thing for you about living with ghosts?
That spirits can be helpful to you and that things go missing.
What is the hardest thing for you about living with a ghost?
Things move around, change up items end up in places you don't remember, where you never even put them ever…
How has this experience changed you?
Nothing surprises me!
What was your Main purpose for writing the book?
It's memories of the many events that just keep happening here. Just here… all the time. Things most people don't experience. Over the last 9 years so many unusual things have happened, it just can't be coincidence. Spirits can be your companion also. Your friend & protector…
Can you tell us one quick version of a paranormal interaction that you would like to share?
I was painting a mask and wasted a whole day sitting & thinking about what not to do. I didn't want to mess it up. I realized the elastic head strap needed to be tucked under so it wouldn't get paint spattered on it… As I was thinking this the mask lifted up tucked the elastic under the mask and cane back down again… I finished the mask the next day…
Any thing else you want to tell the world about anything – let us know here:
I'd just like to repeat that an everyday person like me can have a spirit friend.. Who protects me and is my roommate...

Holy Smoke: It's Carmen!
PORTopera opened its new production of Bizet's time-honored Carmen in a modest, but effective production, the emphasis appropriately placed where it should be; on music, and drama. I always cringe a a little when a company chooses the Guiraud version instead of Bizet's original, feeling it robs a good deal of the bite and spice the dialogue can add. That being said, most of the music making was strong. Maestro Stephen Lord started things off with a briskly paced overture setting the tone for all that followed. There were a few moments of loss of coordination between stage and pit, most notably the middle of the Smugglers quintet, which found its way back on track and finished with sizzle. Lord is a singers' conductor who strikes the right balance between singers and band, never overpowering, but letting the big orchestral moments pop. In this regard, he's also an audiences' conductor, and that's always a good thing.
Judy Gailen's unit set of a large, curved stucco wall served for all four acts with slight variances (dangerous steps, an enormous table for Carmen to dance and seduce Don Jose on at Lillas Pastia, etc.) for each.
Dona D. Vaughn led a generally excellent cast, starting with the leading lady, Israeli mezzo soprano, Maya Lahyani. With striking good looks, physique and a physical force Lahyani's a natural Carmen, comfortable with her body and unafraid to use it to seduce, or as a weapon. The voice is rich, with an old-fashioned lushness that projected throughout the house beautifully. Wonderful in her early arias and the first two acts' lighter moments, Lahyani truly came into her own in the card scene, reaching into the story's darker side and taking us along Carmen's grizzly ride to Doomsville.
Adam Diegel took a bit of warming up, but earned the first real ovation of the night with the Flower aria, the sweetness of his voice blooming beautifully for the finish. He was at his best in Jose's deadly showdown with his ex where things got good and ugly. He's an agile singer and moved like a dancer, though at other times stiff, which is not, I suppose, against character. One got a small sense of this character's dangerous, but not all (Carmen isn't his first kill). He and Lahyani were appropriately passionate, right up until, well, you know.
Conversely, I was not quite convinced by Edward Parks' turn as Escamillo, With a rich, beautiful mid range, upper notes widened a bit, while the lowest notes (particularly in the Toreador aria) nearly disappeared. His third act appearance reminded me more of Ross Martin's Artemus Gordon from The Wild, Wild West, than a dangerous bullfighter. In the final act he became the victim of an unfortunate costuming decision.
Amanda Woodbury took on, Micaëla, the only decent person in sordid story, and did so marvelously, nowhere more so than in her Act Three aria that, when beautifully sung (as it frequently is, since its Micaëla's only big moment) steals the show. It happened again last night.
Comprimario roles were, to a one, as good as it gets, and the choruses, both children and adult, were magnificent. Once again, When it comes to crowd scenes, Ms. Vaughn once again shows her had as one of the best in the business. Her endless, silhouetted parade of gypsies climbing the mountain pass, then down steep, dangerous steps was stage magic. Vaughn did away with the parade at the bull ring, while the choristers made me believe (vividly) they were seeing it, so much so that I occasionally looked across the balcony expecting to see an army of banderilleros, picadors and matadors. Nice touch.
Getting older, and a touch jaded, I sometimes resist attending operas I've seen countless times, but when I give in, I'm reminded why I fell in love with them in the first place, and so it was this evening. I wasn't alone, the audience, young and old, loved it, and a friend, attending his first opera, can't wait to start going to more. Carmen can do that.

text: Information presented on hydrology of limestone and related rocks at the conferences of the Ground Water Branch at Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, March 27-31, 1956, and at Carlsbad, New Mexico, November 13-17, 1956. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Water Resources Division Washington 25, D.C. In reply refer to: May 17, 1957 Code 4051 0001 GROUND WATER BRANCH MEMORANDUM NO. 57.37 To: District Chiefs and Staff Officials, Ground Water Branch From: Chief, Ground Water Branch, Washington, D.C. Subject: Information presented on hydrology of limestone and related rocks at the conferences of the Ground Water Branch at Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, March 27-31, 1956, and at Carlsbad, New Mexico, November 13-17, 1956. Ground Water Branch Memorandum No. 57.21 requested that each person presenting a paper or giving an informal talk at either the Mammoth Cave or Carlsbad submit, without illustrations, a report or paper covering his presentation. Also requested was a memorandum from each district describing the principal limestones and related rocks which are known to be aquifers in that district. The information on limestone and related rocks known to be aquifers is needed for each State to give a more complete picture of the geographic aspects of limestone hydrology. When the contributions are assembled for review and publication, not only will the papers presented at each conference be considered, but also the information provided by the memorandums describing the principal aquifers of limestone and related rocks in each district will be used to round out any discussion on the areal extent of limestone aquifers. As soon as the papers are assembled for internal use and review in the Branch, each contribution will have an opportunity to review his part and make such changes, additions, and revisions as appear advisable. At that time plans can be made of the first of a series of reports for publication, including illustrations, on the occurrence and movement of ground water, with some information on the chemical quality and quantity of water in different kinds of geologic terranes in the United States. It was requested that these papers and memorandums be submitted by April 1, 1957. As of this date, copies of some of the papers presented and a few of the memorandums discussing the limestone and related-rocks aquifers of the respective districts have not been received. This task should not be unduly burdensome. However, if you wish to contribute to this volume you should submit your part in the near future or let us know promptly how much additional time will be required. The next group of papers will be prepared on the hydrology of basalts after the field conference next September in Idaho. Approval has been obtained for a conference on the hydrology of alluvial deposits in the western States some time next year. Later, plans will be made for conferences on glacial deposits and other terranes. (s) A. N. Sayre Distribution: A, B, GS, GFO

Light Tunnel, Sleds and Santa, Pastorela 2.0
Events December 19-December 25, 2019
Various Authors noon, Dec. 15
With its natural beauty and abundant resources, Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve is one of my favorite places for biking, jogging and hiking – horseback riding is also a favorite for folks who frequent the canyon. Los Peñasquitos, meaning "little cliffs," is an exhibit of serenity.
You can plan your biking or hiking route from either side of the canyon: Sorrento Valley Blvd. to the west or Black Mountain Road to the east. Biking from east to west, you'll face a seven-mile stretch of tunneled trails and fast sweeping turns that will give your knees and leg muscles a test. 3.2 miles in, there's a waterfall cascading through volcanic rock into a tropical pond – I usually reference it as the midway point on my bike trek.
From here, you will see many trails leading up to the mesa; they're mostly single tracks that link different parts of the canyon. But both single and double tracks come in different grades – from climbing to downhill to rolling – with a variety of flavors (rock, stone, gravel, mud, clay, grassy and paved road). So choose your battle wisely.
Aside from its rich scenery, the canyon also holds Native American artifacts dating back as far as 7,000 years ago. The area was also part of the first Mexican land grant in San Diego County.
Along your way, you'll find these historic landmarks: Santa Maria de Los Peñasquitos Adobe Ranch House at the east end of the preserve (off Black Mountain Road) and the ruins of another adobe, El Cuervo, at its west end.
As far as geological formations, the Los Peñasquitos trail has a bit of everything, from riparian streams and flat mesa to steep hills. WIth the variety of terrain there's many habitats, supporting a diversity of flora and fauna.
Some notable scenery I've found in my treks through the canyon:

Vietnam participates in World Folklore Festival
Monday, 2017-07-31 16:42:06
NDO – A Vietnamese art troupe, led by Director and Meritorious artist Thanh Son, is participating in the World Folklore Festival 2017, in Bistrita city, Romania, from July 27-31.
The festival has brought together artists from India, Singapore, Indonesia, Turkey, France, Ukraine, Vietnam, Greece, Italy, Serbia and the host, Romania.
Vietnamese artists performed signature songs and dances of the country's Kinh people and the ethnic minority groups – Thai, H'Mong, alongside those from the Central Highlands.
Highlights included the T'rung and "dan bau" (monochord) solo performances that featured Vietnam's unique wooden folk instruments.
The "Vietnam Night" was broadcast live on July 29, in which "dan bau", the indigenous Vietnamese monochord zither made from a dried gourd, was introduced to the local audiences.
The festival aims to introduce the unique cultures from Asian and European countries.

Keith Jarrett and Charlie Haden, Jasmine [ECM]
In 2007 Keith Jarrett did a short interview and jam at his upstate New York home with Charlie Haden for Ramblin' Boy, the superb documentary of Haden's amazing life in music (go to www.charliehadenfilm.com to learn more). Jarrett and Haden had not played together since the 1976 break-up of Jarrett's American Quartet. Inspired by the reunion, Haden returned to Jarrett's home a few months later to play and record a series of duets, mostly ballads from the standard songbook. The result is Jasmine.
Jasmine is soft, sweet, and subtle. It will touch any jazz fan with an emotionally raw bone. Jarrett may be a cerebral improviser of the highest order, but he's also one of the art form's most melodic and soulful song stylists, just like Haden. The recording is a bit less polished than the typical ECM release, to appropriate effect. Hearing the duo's informal conversation over such intimate material transparently reveals the sensitivity required to play jazz at a masterful level. A truly beautiful record.

It's true! I'm creating a super gorgeous website with my dear friend and superstar graphic designer Lynn from Lynn Priestley Design. Go there! It's been a dream to work with Lynn – had I done this alone, my website would look like something resembling a virtual morgue.
We've been able to spend some quality time together with her two pups, Charlie Moo-Moo and Sambhu Canine 🙂 We've had adventures at the beach in Sandgate, ate our own body weight in calamari, laughed our asses off, sworn a lot, cried and Reverie-harped together. I am really fucking blessed.
Check out my website here in a week or so and it should be live! Exciting times!

Designer pieces can be a worthwhile investment - provided they can be incorporated into a range of outfits and contexts. I'm very attached to the designer pieces in my wardrobe, but they need to be workhorses. Expect for a handful of dresses I got for prom and other formal occasions, even (especially) the nicest pieces in my closet need to fit into a variety of contexts without looking incongruous. So this series focuses on how to incorporate an item that may at first sight seem like an extravagant purchase into completely different contexts – starting with this paisley-print skirt (wool and silk) from Sea NY.
The accompanying clothes and accessories, though taken from current collections, are classic wardrobe essentials which can be combined with pretty much anything.
1. The statement piece: wool and silk paisley-print skirt, Sea NY.
2. "Plum silk" / cotton sweater, Jigsaw – previously featured as a fitted knitwear item.
3. Triple-strand freshwater pearl necklace and matching stud earrings, Astley Clarke – as the other items here this is an absolute classic which I have in my own wardrobe. I found a perfect triple-strand pearl necklace at a second-hand shop in Berlin about 8 years ago for an absolute steal, which makes even skinny jeans, with a nice top, look quite formal. And though I basically work with former frat boys, I haven't yet had a snarky "Nice pearl necklace" comment (to which I'd hopefully have a better retort than "Thanks, I got it from your mom.").
4. Mocha wool-lined leather gloves, Roeckl.
5. Gray silk / cashmere scarf, Chan Lulu – again, inspired by an item that I own. In this case my item is a much-babied pashmina my parents got me in Udaipur, India (famous for the floating hotel) over ten years ago. It has a few minor rents in it but is holding up well, and the charcoaly-gray color means it goes with anything.
6. Peach wool coat, Jaeger – some may consider the color a bit too spring or summer-like for gray fall days, but the fabric and cut toughens it up a bit while providing a respite from the usual dark shades of the season.
7. Chocolate natural leather "Ted" messenger bag, Mulberry – this is actually a men's briefcase, but it's the perfect size for carrying laptop, folders and other meeting materials, a snack, shopping, shoes...it basically means not having to commute with five separate bags (cause we've all seen the commuters with their purse, laptop bag, tote, gym bag, and carrier bags).
8. Fuchsia wristlet, Lanvin – how perfect are wristlets? I don't want to bring my work bag when just going out for lunch and switch bags a lot on different days, so wristlets are the best solution for keeping together phone, public transport passes, bank cards, ID, key cards, cash, and other small essentials (I hate cash but carry change for taxi rides and smaller purchases).
9. Gray croc-print leather ballerinas, Pied a Terre – for commuting on non-rainy days and wearing around the office for people who don't like wearing heels (like me); previously featured as a recommended plain ballet flat.
10. "Bordeaux" round toe suede and leather court, L.K.Bennett – for client meetings.
11. Rose gold / stainless steel "Imperiale" watch (388541-6002), Chopard – the metals, though differently colored, harmonize well, which allows the piece to go with gold as well as silver / platinum jewelry.

At VMworld, Simplivity reminds me that this really is the year of VDI Storage
After VMworld last week, I think it's safe to say that this truly is the year of VDI storage. We updated our book earlier this year, even changing the title to The New VDI Reality, to reflect how storage and graphics have changed in the last twelve months to make VDI a much more practical option. Plus, last week we saw evidence of a mindset change within VMware as they talked about uses cases for RDSH, persistent desktops, and local storage. Maybe we really are setting ourselves up for "The Year of VDI!" Not this year, but, you know, maybe next year.
We spent a significant amount of time either in recent months or at VMworld itself talking to the new breed of storage vendors with solutions dedicated to VDI desktops. Some of them, like Atlantis are software-only solutions that offer turnkey resolution to your VDI storage issues, while others like Greenbytes have software and/or hardware solutions. Even Liquidware Labs has a memory cache solution that, while not the same as what others are offering (it sounds a lot like vWorkspace's HyperCache), could be perceived as a sort of commoditization of VDI storage optimization since it's included in their ProfileUnity package. I've talked to Nutanix, Velobit, Pures Storage, and probably a handful of other companies in that time frame as well, and the ones I haven't talked to, Brian surely has (Greenbytes, Tegile, Nimble Storage, etc...).
Occasionally, a company finds itself in the desktop virtualization space without realizing it. Simplivity, with their Omnicube product that appears to borrow the best bits from all of the companies mentioned above, is one of those companies. I had a chance to catch up with them at VMworld, and I recorded a video with VP of Product Strategy, Jesse St. Laurent. Omnicube has been designed for datacenter-based workloads and consolidation, using storage pooling across hosts and inline deduplication. Since they've been focused on datacenter use cases, their current packages are very heavy on disk space, but they are putting together a VDI-based solution that will lower the amount of disk space while loading up their appliances on CPU and memory.
What I found most interesting comes at the end of the video, when I asked about the possibility of expansion cards in the Omnicubes. Specifically, I was thinking about NVIDIA Grid cards since that would mean there could be a single box, a single SKU even, that had all the components in it to fix VDI. While it's not possible to add the Grid cards into the Omnicube itself, it is possible to add them to other hosts and let those other hosts leverage the storage resources, including the optimizations, done by Omnicube.
Check out the video for more information. I'm not going to argue that Simplivity's way is the best way, because at the end of the day if you're getting the VDI storage performance and features you need for the price you want to pay, who really cares how the magic is being done. I will say, though, that Simplivity should be on the list of products to evaluate.

Miyako is a female Asian elephant who has lived without other elephants since arriving at Japan's Utsunomiya Zoo, just outside of Tokyo, 44 years ago when she was six months old. She is kept in a small, concrete enclosure near the zoo's amusement park, says Keith Lindsay, a conservation biologist and elephant expert based in Oxford, England.
"She's been in that place her whole life, with no other elephants and nowhere to move," he says.
Lindsay observed Miyako earlier this year, when he spent two weeks visiting 14 zoos believed to be the majority in Japan keeping elephants in isolation. He summarised the conditions of the animals and their surroundings in a new report released today, on the eve of World Elephant Day.
Five elephants have been alone their entire lives, the report says. Eight became isolated after their companions died or were moved, and one rejoined her previous companion but had to be kept in a separate enclosure. "The elephants were essentially psychotic, desperate to interact with people in some cases, turning their backs to people in other cases," Lindsay says.
Elephants live in isolation at more than a dozen zoos in Japan.
The catalyst for his Japan trip was an elephant he never met, a female named Hanako, who had lived alone in cramped quarters in Tokyo's Inokashira Park Zoo for more than 60 years. She became the focus of public attention in the fall of 2015. That's when a visitor to the zoo, Ulara Nakagawa, wrote a blog post about Hanako and started a petition calling on the elephant to be moved to a sanctuary in Thailand, her home country.
"Totally alone in a small, barren, cement enclosure with absolutely NO comfort or stimulation provided, she just stood there almost lifeless—like a figurine," Nakagawa wrote.
The petition garnered almost 470,000 signatures, and news stories about Hanako's plight swept the Internet. But the zoo deemed it too risky to move the elderly elephant, and a few months later the so-called "loneliest elephant in the world" died at the age of 69.
For Nakagawa, Hanako's death marked the beginning of a larger effort to help companionless zoo elephants in Japan. She teamed up with Zoocheck, a Canada-based nonprofit devoted to animal protection, and started a grassroots campaign called Elephants in Japan. And she recruited Lindsay to review how elephants—highly social and intelligent animals—are doing at zoos in Japan, which has no standards for how to keep them in captivity.
"This new campaign is in [Hanako's] memory, to make sure that the other elephants in Japan don't have to live out the same life she had to," Nakagawa says. As for why she chose to examine lonely elephants in Japan when it's hardly the only country where zoos keep them, she explains, "we had to start somewhere."
Many of the 14 solitary elephants Lindsay observed, including Miyako, were exposed to conditions he found substandard, such as too-small enclosures and a lack of stimulation.
But, he says, Miyako topped the list as the one with the most heartbreaking life. He watched her pacing back and forth and noted that she would repeatedly bite down on a metal bar in the enclosure, behaviours that signal psychological stress. "I've never seen that before," he says.
Miyako's life bears no resemblance to that of Asian elephants in the wild, where females live in tightly knit groups with as many as 50 companions, and males often associate with other males once they reach sexual maturity and leave the family unit. Even when elephants aren't hanging out with their pals, studies show that they can still remember them and communicate with them through smell and sound.
"The social aspect of an elephant's life is the most important to its well-being, and we would be concerned for the psychological welfare of any elephants kept on their own," says Georgina Allen of Wild Welfare, a nonprofit dedicated to improving conditions for captive animals. Allen wasn't affiliated with the Elephants in Japan report.
In addition to needing companionship, Asian elephants require a lot of space, ranging over areas as large as 230 square miles in search of food or mates. Known for their smarts, they grieve and show other emotions, such as joy and anger, and are even capable of "aha" moments, such as figuring out that a step stool can help them reach food.
Animal welfare advocates say elephants' intelligence make it all the more detrimental for them when they're kept by themselves in barren areas. Although Lindsay found Miyako's situation particularly bleak, hers was by no means the only sad case, he says.
He also found:
- Teru, an Asian elephant who has been kept alone at Kofu City Yuki Park Zoo since 2000. The 38-year-old has no stimulation in her concrete outdoor enclosure and was seen swaying repeatedly from side to side and bobbing her head.
- Himeko, a 40-year-old Asian elephant who has been isolated at the Himeji City Zoo since her arrival in 1994. She is confined indoors for 18 hours a day, is forced to perform for visitors, and was observed swaying for long periods and standing in her own urine.
- Izumi, an Asian elephant who died at age 62 soon after Lindsay saw her in Kiryugaoka Zoo. She had lived alone since 1964 in a small dark indoor stall and outdoor area with no shade.
Lindsay deemed only four of the 14 zoos as "improved," meaning they'd at least made attempts to add innovative features, enlarge enclosures, and make other enhancements. The remaining zoos fell shorter, with some appearing to have gone without updates since their construction in the 1950s.
Most zoo associations, the report notes, agree that elephants should have enough room to move around, forage, and have the chance to interact with other elephants. The American Association of Zoos and Aquariums, an accrediting agency that has developed guidelines for keeping elephants, recommends grouping together no fewer than three females, two males, or three of mixed gender.
Some zoos have even questioned the feasibility of holding elephants in captivity at all, given their complex needs. At least 44 zoos worldwide have either closed their elephant exhibits or signalled an intention to shut them down, the report notes.
But the Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums hasn't yet developed best practices, according to Lindsay, and it doesn't routinely monitor zoos to ensure that the animals' welfare needs are met. (At press time, the executive director of JAZA had not yet responded to a request for comment).
Lindsay hopes Japan will develop such standards. In the immediate future, he urges the zoos with solitary elephants to relocate them, if they're healthy enough, to facilities where they at least will have the option to socialise with others—perhaps even to hang out in the dirt, lock trunks, and splash about in a pool:
Elephants socialise in 2014 at the San Diego Zoo, in California.

The Sault's Prog Rock Scene???Posted: Saturday, November 20, 2010 by •»¶hê ƒRëq»•-)•–––– in
First, what is Prog Rock? Well, it's short for "progressive rock" and quite simply it's music that in most cases incorporates songs with odd time signatures, technical structures with many parts, extended lyrical story lines, extended instrumentation just for starters. Of course, that is not always the case and there are prog songs that are short. Some prog rock music is based on concepts like for example Rush's 2112, or Queensryches Operation Mind Crimes. Bands that you may or may not know as prog rock are "Yes, Rush, Saga, The Jelly Jam, Platypus, Marillion, Dream Theater and many more. My favourite band Porcupine Tree has introduced prog rock to a new generation and is amazingly popular at this point in time.
"Three of the four members had played together before, in 2008 at a one-off Christmas show, performing a bunch of covers by bands such as Roxy Music, Pink Floyd, Gary Numan, and others.
In early 2009, bass player and vocalist, Craig West recruited the other band members to work on a nice little solo album.
Craig, along with drummer Ken Coulter, keyboard player and bassist Brian Holmes, and guitarist Keith Conway began free-jamming, writing material together, and having a rather fun time in doing so. They put out an EP as Craig West Band. But it wasn't prog enough! So screw the solo album! They renamed the band 'Machines Dream', feeling that it reflected both their sound, and their collaborative process. The group perform songs they have written, in addition to dedicating time in each performance for pure improv, creating new prog as they go."
On their Facebook site they have a song preview for a song called "Mad For All Seasons" from what appears to be an EP they have set to release. The problem folks is that Facebook does not allow linking to videos and some music audio files you post on it so promoting these types of media are useless with Facebook. So, I can't post a preview of the song here. I have sent a message to one of the band members about a possible link to the song from another source. With that said, always consider the option like Youtube for video and audio in addition to Facebook or better yet, just use MySpace for your bands main page. It allows everything to be linked. The song posted is quite good and the sound is also on the money. Style wise, there is a flavour of Porcupine Tree but only a taste. They have PT as an influence which is how I became interested in this local band. Here's a link to their Facebook page but if you're not a member, you won't be able to view much. Actually, there isn't much to see on their site yet anyways. Facebook is very limited at this point in time. http://www.machinesdream.com/
Another prog rock band is the duo of Mike Cliffe and yours truly, ME! I won't go into a long bio of the band but I will simply say that Mike and I have a common love for technical music and we always like thinking outside the box of mainstream music. Our song "Dog's Breakfast" (preview video below) has odd time signatures and a little over the top musical expression with a little edge thrown in for good measure. Cliff and I and a few others will be involved in a project in the near future that involves a Disney connection. ;-) No details yet but when things are set to go, you can be sure I'll post about it here. In the meantime, Mike and I have another song called "Evil Tuba" that will be released to the public soon. As always, free for your hearing consumption.
For me progressive rock, jazz and jazz fusion have always influenced my own playing and musical tastes. I will be honest in saying that basic rock, metal and country, although enjoyable to listen to, is not what I want to do creativity wise or playing wise on drums. It bores me in a lot of ways. Prog rock stretches your imagination and most of this type of music has a depth that modern radio friendly music just doesn't have. My own solo music also has a prog vibe to it just because it's what I grew up listening to. It kind of gets in your blood. :-) When writing prog music the challenge is merging the parts to make it sound smooth and somewhat seemless. Progressive rock kinda died in the late 70's because some bands just started to stick whatever parts they could together to make these epic songs
and it just failed. The idea of prog rock in my opinion is to take you on a journey but there has to be some type of depth. In my own case, I like to throw a little humour in for good measure.
The Drones" has that sarcastic humour. An instrumental tune I wrote called "Crab Apple Orchard" was also written with prog intent.
Mike Cliffe & Glen Thomas - Dog's Breakfast (Video)
I'm just touching the surface of the local progressive rock underground scene. If you have any info on prog rock bands hiding in Sault Ste. Marie, drop me a line. I'd love to hear about you and your music.

So remember in my last post how I said I was so out of my mind bored that
on Sunday's I tell Ben to be as messy as possible during the day so that on Monday I can distract myself and have something to do by tidying up?
Well I guess we really got into it....
This is what I awoke to today...
When we were younger and my mom would walk into our super messy teenage rooms she would always say
"Did a bomb go off in here or what?!"
And that is precisely what it looks like happened in our room!
Don't you worry though, I will have this all cleaned up and be back to my "House" All Day Marathon on USA in no time!
