About "I've Got A Crush On You"
- Duets album released November 1993
- Track Produced by David Foster & Phil Ramone
- Arranged by Patrick Williams
- Original Arrangement by Nelson Riddle
- Executive Producer: Jay Landers
- Recorded and Mixed by Al Schmitt
Released in 1993, Frank Sinatra's 1993 Duets album consisted of duets between Sinatra and younger singers from various genres. Producer Phil Ramone wrote he was "confident that pairing Sinatra with a variety of legendary artists will make for an attention-grabbing record." The album, indeed, was a big commercial success, selling over 3 million copies in the U.S.
Ramone employed some new technology to record Sinatra's Duets album. He relied on a fiber optics system called EDNet to record tracks in "real time" from different locations. In many cases, Sinatra and his duet partners recorded their vocals separately.
Phil Ramone, who I interviewed in 2005, told Barbra Archives, "Barbra knows that I'm crazy about technology. It's a way of life for me. When I was involved in doing [the Sinatra Duets album], Marty [Erlichman] said to me, 'Please don't tell her you're experimenting with this – doing your vocals from home.' (Laughs)"
In a 1993 Vanity Fair story about the album, it was explained how Patrick Williams, Jay Landers and Phil Ramone produced a demo of the song that modulated between Sinatra's key (F) and Streisand's key (E-flat). After Streisand asked for some revisions, David Foster was brought in.
Ramone recalled, "We did a whole new intro for her before Sinatra comes in. David Foster and I had fun with that, and a lot of laughs."
Streisand, by the way, had already recorded "I've Got A Crush On You" alone for her Back To Broadway album, but when the opportunity to duet with Sinatra came along, she abandoned the solo track.
She recorded her vocals to "I've Got A Crush On You" on August 17, 1993 at Todd-AO, Hollywood. Sinatra arranged for a large bouquet of flowers to greet her; Barbra wrote a thank you note to Sinatra and included a note that he had written to her after seeing her on Broadway in Funny Girl.
That day in the recording studio, the team added a new ending to the song, which Patrick Williams wrote in the moment. Streisand created an intimacy for the recording when she sang line, "You make me blush, Francis."
In order to revise Sinatra's already-recorded vocals, his team visited him in Chicago where he was performing. Sinatra sang, "I have got a crush, my Barbra, on you…"
Al Schmitt, who recorded and mixed the album, said "Hank [Cattaneo] just had Frank sing into a DAT machine, and we cut it in during the mixing."
"I've Got A Crush On You" was nominated for a Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocals.
Streisand sang the song live to a black-and-white video clip of Sinatra for her Timeless concert (1999-2000). She also included the Sinatra duet on her 2002 album, Duets.
"Yeah, he was really something," Barbra said about Sinatra.

Bought a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $325K in Lino Lakes, MN.

How amazing is Sarah!! My fiancé Tyler and I have had the privilege of meeting and working with Sarah. Our first home we saw online and fell in love with was shown as unavailable which was an unfortunate start. Sarah continued to show us beautiful homes that just didn't give us the feel like we wanted with the first home. Until by fate the first home became available again and Sarah got us a showing immediately and we put an offer in that night. With multiple offers Sarah did whatever she could to make sure this home became ours! We are so grateful to having Sarah on our side as she fulfilled our wishes! She truly went above and beyond helping us find and own our dream home! Thank you so much Sarah for your dedication and passion for guiding us to our perfect home!

|Sarah Marrinan did an amazing job with the sale of our home. She went the extra mile many times to make sure everything was in our greatest interest. Sarah worked hard to advertise our home not only to the public but to other agents. Sarah knows what it takes to sell a house, she proved that to us when our house was sold in 2 1/2 weeks. We would highly commend and use Sarah Marrinan for any real estate needs.

06/23/2014 Helped me sell a home
Sarah is a very hard-working trustworthy real estate agent! I'm so grateful I had the pleasure working with her! She's very professional and knows her job well. I didn't realize how stressful selling your home can be but, she put my mind at ease and explained the process as we went along. She always listened to my concerns and answered any questions I had. She also found me the perfect home for me and my family!!! I'm so glad I found her!
Curt Smith, Bell Mortgage
|I've had the pleasure of working with Sarah on several transactions. As a long-time loan officer in the area, I've seen many Realtors come and go but very few in my eyes have set themselves apart in the way that Sarah Marrinan has. The effort she puts forth for her clients is unmatched and she has a work ethic that is second to none. This combined with her pleasant nature and her ability to relate to people (not talk down to them) make her a Realtor that her clients always remember. I would highly recommend Sarah Marrinan to anyone considering buying a home.
James and Sabine
|Sarah was a pleasure to deal with. She always took the time to guide us and make sure we understood what to expect throughout the entire process. Thank you Sarah, for helping us get the house we really wanted!
Jake Covey
| "I have purchased 6 homes and never had such a pleasureable experience"
I am writing to express my pleasure with your real estate agent Sarah Marrinan, who represented me in my recent purchase of my new home. Sarah guided me through the entire process, from searching for houses to making the offer and closing the deal. I credit Sarah with a smooth, stress-free home-buying experience.
This is my sixth purchase of property in my lifetime, and never had such a pleasurable experience. Sarah is savvy, personable and knows the local market inside and out. I never could have gotten this home without her. Sarah always had time for showings on our schedule and was constantly keeping me informed on homes on the market and homes likely to be coming on the market. I appreciated her constant attention to my needs.
To reiterate, I am very pleased with Sarah and her expertise and we will highly recommend her to everyone, and if I ever need an agent again, Sarah will be my first choice.
Jake Covey
Ben and Cari
|Sarah made my house searching experience as effortless for us as could be. We had previously worked with another agent and were disappointed that we never found a house. When we started working with Sarah, she really listened to our needs and made suggestions we hadn't thought of before. After looking at only a couple houses, Sarah made a suggestion to see a house she thought might be a good fit and we agreed to take a look. We loved it! We made an offer that was accepted and she quickly got to work with the lender and the title company. She kept us informed along the way and took care of any hiccups that came up prior to closing. We would certainly recommend her to our friends and family. -Ben and Cari
Thank you so much for your hard work and commitment to finding me the perfect house. You offered great suggestions and were always available to answer questions and help in any way you could. You made my first time home buying experience fun and successful! I am so happy in my new home! I would certainly refer you to all my friends and family. -Kassi
|For a first time home buyer I was a little lost and didn't know exactly what I was doing.... I needed some serious direction. Sarah was excellent, always on top of things and one step ahead. She was full of knowledge when it came to so many things, especially the home buying process, which is what I needed. At times I feel she was extremely patient with the questions and concerns that myself and family had. We looked at a ton of homes for sale, which took up a lot of time and energy on Sarah's part. I was some-what picky on what I wanted and what I was looking for in a first home and I can see how challenging it could be on a realtor, but not for Sarah. If you are a person that is looking for a real go-getter when it comes to finding you exactly what you are looking for, Sarah Marrinan.
Jesse Vollmer, Senior Loan Officer
|As a Mortgage Broker, its a rare trait to find a real estate agent that truly looks out for their clients best interest. Sarah will go the extra mile for sure!!

face cream for sensitive, delicate skin
"A cotton caress, light and gentle,
a soft embrace,
for skin like delicate rose petals.
For all the care and protection the world can offer"
The essence of delicate softness, cotton is able to bring a uniquely natural sensation of protection to the skin. This is why EOS Secondo Natura has chosen to take inspiration from this soft fabric for its cream for sensitive, delicate skin in the TRAME E TEXTURES (WEAVES AND TEXTURES) range, formulated for skin that requires both protection and moisturising and which also pays attention to the first signs of ageing.
A soft cream, ideal for improving and soothing sensitive skin. Protects the skin from aggressive external agents, keeping it moisturised at length. Combats the damage caused by free radicals, which leads to premature ageing, and leaves the skin compact and supple.
- System of multi-action active principles with Liquorice, Ginseng, Dioscorea villosa, Equisetum and Kigelia africana: excellent, long lastingsoothing and moisturising effect; activates the synthesis of collagen and amino acids, helping to keep skin healthy and structured; strengthens the protective barrier of the skin. Also gives an energy boost to dry, stressed, tired skin;
- Dongbaek/Tsubaki oil: one of the most sought-after species of Camellia, also known as the "Rose of Winter", from which it is possible to obtain an oil rich in fatty acids such as Linoleic, Oleic, Palmitic and Stearic acid. Its useful properties include an excellent antioxidant capacity, the capacity to stimulate the formation of new collagen (anti-wrinkle effect) and sooth the skin, demonstrated in vivo by an assessment of the reduction in skin rashes caused, as well as being an excellent moisturiser.
- Karitè Butter: with protective, firming and moisturising properties, able to regenerate the skin barrier. The secret that makes it truly unique is the extremely high percentage of unsaponifiables it contains. These substances have an impact on the physiological process of the production of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for the formation of the fibres of collagen and elastin, which are essential for improving skin tone, and in particular for maintaining the skin's natural elasticity;
- Hyaluronic Acid: thanks to its ability to bind to water molecules up to 20 times its own weight, it forms a moisturising film on the skin.
- Purified pea peptides: a high percentage of peptides selected for the protective action they have on keratinocytes, stimulating their adhesive and reproductive capacity, and on the fibroblasts that make up the epidermis. The skin is thus kept consistently fresh, even and glowing.
The formula has been studied to be compatible with the ecological, organic, natural philosophy, because it contains:
- a food grade, Ecocert approved, non-ethoxylated emulsifier of plant origin;
- a mix of plant oils rich in fatty acids for a soothing, nourishing effect and a particularly soft sensation; with Coconut oil for a silicone-like texture;
- a substance derived from cereals that acts as both a moisturiser and a natural chelating agent (inci name = sodium gluconate);
- a system of multi-function active principles such as pentylene glycol, derived from sugar cane, extract of Magnolia with a protective, antioxidant action, extract of Japanese Honeysuckle with a moisturising, antioxidant action.
Place a small amount of product onto the palm of the hand and apply it to cleansed skin in the morning and evening, massaging until fully absorbed.
aqua, glyceryl stearate citrate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, Butyrospermum parkii butter, Camelia japonica seed oil, Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil, Persea gratissima oil, behenyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, ethylhexyl cocoate, dodecyl olivate, glycerin, propanediol, sodium hyaluronate, coco caprylate, Dioscorea villosa root extract, Kigelia africana fruit extract, Cocos nucifera oil, Panax ginseng root extract, Glycyrrhiza glabra root extract, pentylene glycol, Honokiol, Equisetum giganteum extract, tocopherol, hydrolyzed Pea, Olea europaea leaf extract, ethylhexylglycerin, Helianthus annuus seed oil, lactic acid, Lonicera caprifolium (Honeysuckle) flower extract, xanthan gum, sodium gluconate, Lonicera japonica (Honeysuckle) flower extract, parfum.

Bezos recently summed up his winning formula in a single, brilliant sentence:
"Success is going to require talented experts, a beginner's mind, and a long-term orientation."
Before you dismiss Bezos's statement as PR speak, consider briefly the three tenets of this blueprint for action, and why they're so valuable.
1. Surround yourself with the right people.
If you're going to accomplish great things, you need a team of great people.
Notice how Bezos describes these people as "talented experts." Aren't all experts talented? In a sense, yes. But as years of research reveal, it's not only about who is on the team, but how they work together. That's why hiring is so important: You don't simply want a bunch of "brilliant jerks," as Netflix CEO Reed Hastings calls them. Rather, you want people who know what they're doing, and have the necessary emotional intelligence to work well with others at the same time.
2. Have a learn-it-all mindset.
If you're going to accomplish great things, you need a team of great people.
By doing this, you adopt a student's mentality, in which you rethink everything from the ground up. You're not forced to remain within outdated or irrelevant constraints, rather, you're looking for new and innovative solutions. Additionally, you're not concerned by how others view you, rather, you're focused on growth. That gives you the liberty to pursue bias for action, to experiment and make mistakes–and transform these into learning opportunities.
3. Be ready to play the long game.
Nobody said transforming an industry or solving major problems was easy.
Bezos knows this as much as anyone; he came under fire for decades when Amazon didn't turn a profit. But he didn't really care, because he knew that it would take time to achieve goals as lofty as the ones he had set–goals like fundamentally changing the way people shop.
Or, as stated clearly in the set of principles Amazon sets out for their leaders:
"They think long term and don't sacrifice long-term value for short-term results."
Talented experts. A beginner's mind. Long-term orientation. That's Jeff Bezos's formula for success.
You might want to give it a try.

What are FHA loans?
FHA loans are loans that are insured against default by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). This great loan program makes it simple for those who may not qualify with other programs. FHA typically offers lower interest rates, lower income requirements, and does not hold as much weight to your credit score compared to other loan programs also know as conventional loans.
FHA loans are an attractive option, especially for first-time homeowners:
- Generally easier to qualify for than conventional loans.
- Lower down payment requirements.
- Cannot exceed statutory loan limits as set by each county.
What is the purpose of this program?
To provide mortgage insurance for a person to purchase or refinance a principal residence. The mortgage loan is funded by a lending institution, such as a mortgage company, bank, savings and loan association and the mortgage is insured by HUD.
What are the eligibility requirements?
- The borrower must meet standard FHA credit qualifications with a minimum of a 580 credit score.
- The borrower is eligible for approximately 96.5% financing. The borrower is able to finance the upfront mortgage insurance premium into the mortgage.
- Eligible properties are one-to-four unit structures.
Texas FHA Loans
Here in Texas FHA loans are a great option with great rates, zero lender fees (exclusive with Texas Premier Mortgage), and a low down payment option Based upon your goals and financial situation, we'll help identify if this loan is right for you.
The Texas FHA loan program, is a great option if you're a first-time homebuyer and repeat home buyer and would like to take advantage of the market conditions in the current real estate environment but, may not have perfect credit or haven't saved enough money for a larger down payment for conventional loan programs. And since the program is managed by the Federal Housing Administration, you can be sure that the loan you receive will be the best loan available.
Texas FHA Loan Benefits
Texas FHA loans require only 3.5% of the purchase price as a down payment (due at the closing of the loan), while many loan programs require a full 5% or more, which can save buyers between $10,000 and $50,000 depending on the purchase price of the home. The 3.5% down payment can be gifted from a relative or employer.
Borrowers applying for a FHA insured loan must have a minimum 580 FICO score. Compared to any other loan program, FHA is the easiest to qualify for, credit wise. Those whose mid-FICO scores are below 580 but not lower than 500 can still qualify for an FHA-insured loan as long as they have at least 10% to put down but, the approval could require more evaluation of creditworthiness with extra assets, reserves or lowered debt ratios.
There are maximum loan limits for loans issued against the Texas FHA loan program, so potential borrowers should check with their county limits before beginning their house hunting. The Federal Housing Administration works hard to ensure that regardless of where buyers are, they will be able to afford a modest home in their particular area, so the maximum loan limit is adjusted in areas which have a higher cost of living. $331,200 is a typical loan limit throughout Texas.
"I don't have a large down payment, and have concerns about my credit"
Other detailed information: A down payment of 3.5% is required on all FHA transactions. If you don't have these funds saved up a down payment can come from a family member as a gift towards the purchase of the house. The donor has to provide the source of the money being used as a "Gift Fund" to the borrower and gift letter will need to be signed. Texas Premier Mortgage will help facilitate this process to ensure all required paperwork is submitted.
The debt-to-income requirement allows the borrower to have a higher back-end ratio as compared to other loan programs. FHA will go as high as 55% DTI; no other loan program in the market subscribes to this rule but FHA. Texas Premier Mortgage can go as high as 57% back-end ratio to qualified borrowers.
Benefits of FHA loans vs Conventional financing
- You can buy a home with low/no down payment or closing costs
- Your down payment can be gifted from family or received through other government programs.
- Easy credit qualifying for great interest rates even with lower credit scores.
- Fixed rate programs to help budget your income and prevent foreclosure.
- Qualify even if you have had bankruptcy in the past.
Texas FHA Mortgage Loans is the easiest mortgage and most lenient loan to qualify for. They offer a low down payment and are available to homebuyers with less than perfect credit.

You guys. I know I sound like a broken record but how is April over already? April has always been my favorite month because it's my birthday month! Although no one seems to enjoy getting older, I am grateful to celebrate another birthday. Life is a blessing, after all. April was filled with fun from events, seeing people I love, accomplishing goals (like reading a book and finally finding a dentist in Seattle), traveling to Canada, and getting a bunch of fun things in the mail. I also had a really great month in terms of connecting with current and new readers here on my blog and on social media. I can't say enough how much the community that comes with blogging makes the work worth it.
Before I start rambling more, let's just get into the favorites from April shall we? I am always happy to answer questions you might have so please feel free to shoot me an email! Instagram DM is okay too, but I like old fashioned email :) email@example.com
–Marc Jacobs Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter: I know this is pricey for a highlighter but this bottle will last forever. This isn't one of those products that's just beautiful from the packaging, but the highlight itself is really pretty. The gel has a very faint, pleasant tropical scent and a little goes a long way. I found that fingers are the best way to blend it into the skin. Since Influenster sent this to me to review, I've worn this every single day and have received a lot of compliments on it! Thank you Influenster and the Marc Beauty team for the complimentary product!
–Whal Myung Skin elixir: I received this in a PR package during the Kbeauty pop-in at Nordstrom and have been using it ever since. Not only is the packaging beautiful, the spray nozzle is functional and is the perfect fine mist for the product. I'm currently using a fairly intense skincare regimen (more details soon!) and this is the perfect addition. I use the mist at night and pat it into my skin to retain moisture. If you've ever used some form of Vitamin A (most commonly used in the form of Retinol) you know it can make your skin very dry at first. This is the perfect way to calm and soothe my skin while also moisturizing any dry spots. I also love the fresh scent. It's sold out at Nordstrom, but you can buy it from the website directly.
–Big Little Lies: Jared and I binge watched this one weekend and when I saw it was based on a book, I realized it sounded familiar. I've had the book on my "to read" list since last fall but I completely forgot about it! The series has amazing acting from big names like Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman and a great soundtrack. It is definitely heavy and some things are hard to watch but it's realistic. I hope that after watching this people realize how important it is to be transparent to at least those in your support system so that when your life isn't a walk in the park, you can get the right help. It's completely okay to not be okay.
–Molly Moon's Scoop Shop Candle: To no one's surprise, I'm obsessed with this candle from Molly Moon's collaboration with Capitol Hill Candle Co. The heavenly scent of waffle cones and ice cream in my own home?! Yes please. It is my favorite ice cream shop, after all. See other merchandise online here or visit a shop for more! (If you're in need of a cozy pullover, I highly recommend the ice cream one. I wear mine so much!)
What I've been eating…
Random, but hey I once included cauliflower in a monthly favorites posts. I have been turning to Pinterest a lot for meal ideas and recently loved making this quinoa and turkey stuffed bell pepper recipe. I've also loved cubing golden sweet potatoes, tossing them with olive oil and garlic salt/pepper, then throwing them in the oven. They are also great to mix in with other veggies and with some kind of sauce, you have a really easy and healthy dinner. Search 'buddha bowl' on Pinterest if you're looking for some healthy veggie dinners. I'm not vegetarian so I like to add lean proteins in. And just to be transparent, I've had lots of cake and even Taco Bell once in the past week. Balance, y'all.
What I'm reading…
Its been over 6 months since I last wrote about books I've been reading! (The last one I wrote about was Feminist Fight Club.) I recently got a new library card after moving into a new county so I don't have an excuse anymore not to check some new books out. Reading one book a month was a recent goal of mine and while it may seem easy, that's kind of the point. It's easily attainable while I start to dip my toes back into reading in my spare time.
The first book I checked out has been on my list since I saw the movie in October. I was walking by the featured books shelf and The Girl on the Train caught my eye. I normally don't like books that switch between characters' POVs but the diary style really added to the plot. If you liked the movie, I highly recommend the book. It was still eerie even if I knew the plot from watching the movie.
I also remembered to grab the nook that I left at my parents' house when I visited. As much as I prefer reading from a physical book, a tablet is nice for when I don't have time (or am lazy) to go to the library. Being able to get free ebooks worked out for me during this busy week! I am currently making my way through After You by Jojo Moyes. So far it doesn't seem as sad as Me Before You but I'm not ruling out tears yet. I was a blubbering mess when I read the first book. It is heartbreaking but such a good read!
Let me know if you have any book recommendations! I would love to hear them.

University Women banner – revealing histories and mysteries
19 December 2018 by Kay
The British Federation of University Women, (today known as the British Federation of Women Graduates), was founded in 1907 to bring University women together. The following year, a Liverpool Association was formed by Eleanor Rathbone and other local ladies.
Members worked for women in the city. Mrs Nan Mackean, former Honorary Secretary of the Association explained –
"They raised money for beds in the new Women's Hospital, campaigned for women to serve in the Police Force, and battled bravely against the introduction of the marriage bar for university women staff, which meant that if women married, they were automatically dismissed from their posts and were unable to continue with their careers. During the 1930s, and in wartime, members welcomed European women who were refugees fleeing from the Nazis, giving them hospitality while they waited for a passage to the USA, and providing them with clothes and money for the journey".
Walton Gaol force-feeding equipment on display
5 July 2018 by Kay
Nothing quite brings home the horror of force-feeding than seeing the actual equipment; porcelain funnel, wooden mouth gag and long rubber tube, used to inflict torture on women. This set is even more disturbing to me as it was used at Walton Gaol, Liverpool.
When I first came across the items at the National Justice Museum, Nottingham, I knew we had to bring them home to be displayed here at the Museum of Liverpool. Read more…
History Pinning Merseyside suffrage – get involved
21 May 2018 by Kay
You many have seen recently that this statue of suffrage campaigner Millicent Fawcett was unveiled in Parliament Square, London; the first statue of a woman in the Square.
The statue helps highlight her life's work of campaigning to get women the vote. One of her other legacies is The Fawcett Society, the UK's leading charity campaigning for gender equality and women's rights.
A local branch, Fawcett Society Merseyside was launched on 8 March 2018 (International Women's Day). One of the group's aims is to promote our local suffrage history and they are using History Pin to showcase the Merseyside Suffrage Movement, as well as document the local groups' key events and achievements.

10 Decades On: Liverpool Women 100
2 February 2018 by Kay
2018 marks 100 years since the passing of the Representation of the People Act. After a long hard fight, some women over the age of 30 were given the right to vote for the first time. The Act also granted men over the age of 21 the vote. It would be another 10 years until this was equalised for women over the age of 21 in 1928.
The campaign in Liverpool saw both militant and peaceful tactics employed to win the basic right to vote. Women were jailed and force fed in Walton Gaol, bombs were planted around the city and windows smashed. Read more…

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma -Are they a pair made in Heaven?
Analysis Points
Varan(Work) 1/1
Vaishya(Personal Relationship) 2/ 2
Tara (Destiny) 1.5/3
Yoni (Mental Comptibility) 0/45
Griha(Nature) 5/5
Gan(Social Relationship) 0/6
Bhakoot(Life) 0/7
Nadi(Physical Compatibility) 8/8
Total 17.5/36
To marry or not – that's a big question!
Bollywood and cricket are two subjects near and dear to millions of Indians worldwide. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, are two famous celebrities who live in the hearts of millions.
Their relationship is no secret and they have been in the news for quite some time. Many of my friends, readers and clients wanted me to predict the possibility of marriage between these two. As we all know and it's very rightly said; "Pairs are made in heaven and settle on the earth".
Are these two a pair made in heaven? Are they meant to settle together here on earth?
I think not! After reviewing their planetary positions, it would be a great oversight on my part to say; " Yes" to any matrimonial union between these two.
Here's why..
Virat and Anushka are Manglik. When making a compatibility chart, one of the most important considerations in a couple's chart is whether both partners are Manglik or not. These two are both Manglik which is a good news. Most any astrologer would agree this is a good start as couples who both have Manglik Dosha will cancel out the effects of the other's Manglik Dosha. Thank Goodness! They have been together for quite some time and this point gives them a big "Thumbs UP".
Now for their compatibility points…
Their compatibility table gives only 17.5 marks out of 36 which clearly shows this is not a good match when it comes to marriage.
The important points are lacking in their Bhakoot and Gan which doesn't satisfy the conditions for longevity in their relationship. The overall big picture says they will remain in a relationship till next year around April 2018 then move on with their lives separately.

Competition Problem 27
by Hugh Darwen
What lead by West defeats four hearts? How does South make four hearts against any other lead?
Successful solvers: Steve Bloom, Ian Budden, Jesper Dall, Serhat Erden, Mauro Fiorentini, Mike Hou, Daniël de Lind van Wijngaarden, Pengcheng Wu, Dick Yuen, Wim van der Zijden
Promotion: Steve Bloom is promoted to Expert Problemist, with 103 master points.
To defeat the contract, West must lead the ♠5!
If West instead leads the ♠K, South ducks, wins the spade continuation, plays a heart to North, a club back to hand, and the ♥A-K, North discarding clubs. The ♦K-Q must be allowed to hold, as must the third diamond, taken by North, whereupon South ruffs a spade and exits with the ♣Q. South's last trump wins a trick en passant.
If West leads a heart, North wins and leads a spade. To prevent the above line, East must rise with the ♠10, forcing South's ♠A. South plays as above anyway
See the solution to Competition Problem #4 for the recommended tabular format if you prefer not to write in English prose.

TeamSpeak 3 Server
TeamSpeak 3 Server
On September 1st 2018 our TeamSpeak 3 server will shut down permanently. Over the last couple of months nearly all of our players have chosen Discord in favour of TeamSpeak 3. Our Discord servers are bigger than TeamSpeak ever was and so we have decided to finally retire the service that has served our community for nearly 7 years now. Many of us have had some great times on TeamSpeak, but it is time to look to the future.
Over the years Discord has proven to be the rightful successor to TeamSpeak, with their much more modern and user-friendly GUI, server stability and tons of new possibilities for our community in the future.
Discord Server
Discord is an all-in-one voice and text chat for gamers that's free, secure, and works on both your desktop and phone. It is growing at an incredibly fast rate due to the innovative way they have managed to merge and combine elements from several different existing applications.
Since Discord will be replacing our TeamSpeak 3 server, we invite everyone to join our Discord server!

Why David Brooks Is Wrong About Discrimination and Indiana's RFRA
Let me get straight to the point – David Brooks' column this week encouraging gay and transgender people to simply accept discrimination for as long as it takes for society to come around was more than misguided. It undercuts core American values of fairness and equality and advances the idea that's it is acceptable to treat some people like second-class citizens because of who they are.
If David Brooks really thinks it's smart for gay and transgender people to accept discrimination until "gentle persuasion" convinces people that it's not, I have to ask: Would he have been so bold to make such proclamations in other moments of history when religion was invoked to justify various forms of discrimination?
For instance, something that seems unfathomable to us today but occurred not too long ago: Would he have argued that the barbeque franchise owner who believed mixing races violated his understanding of the Bible should have been allowed to tell African-Americans they weren't welcome to a seat?
Or that the school run by folks who believed as a matter of faith that the role of men is to be the head of households should be allowed to pay women less money?
Or to use examples from the moment: That schools should be able to fire women teachers for using IVF or hospital staff should be able to fail to tell women miscarrying that ending the pregnancy is the safest medical option?
Or what about a school counselor who doesn't agree with the "homosexual lifestyle"? Should she be allowed to turn away a gay or transgender youth considering suicide as long as she does it with "respectful politeness"?
In these cases, should the law say it's okay to deny services, employment, or information – and really fair treatment – until society comes around?
Because whether actively or through ignorance, that is certainly what he has argued.
Undergirding Brooks' argument is a dangerous concept: That the only possible harm in these scenarios is to religious belief, not to those turned away. That's simply not true. The sit-in at the Woolworth's counter wasn't about wanting a hamburger. It was about fairness and equality.
We've made a decision as a country that religious freedom matters. But so does the dignity of others.
Brooks has twisted the idea of religious freedom. Based on his argument, what would stop a business from hanging up a big, flashing sign that says they don't serve gay people? Brooks' argument asserts that gay and transgender people should allow that because "religious tolerance" and "[d]eep politeness means we make accommodations" for those who aren't ready to stop discriminating.
One has to ask, do we really want to value "deep politeness" over equality?
Brooks is right about one thing – religious freedom is a deeply important value that's woven into the fabric of this country. And it must be protected. But what Brooks, and many others who would use religion to justify discrimination and harm, fails to recognize is that religious freedom gives us all a right to our beliefs. But that right, like all others, has limits. And those limits stop when acting on our belief hurts someone else.
Religious liberty couldn't be used in the '60s to turn away people of color. And we shouldn't tolerate its use today to let businesses turn away lesbian and gay couples seeking to celebrate a relationship or to allow religiously associated nonprofits or businesses to treat women like they're less than men by denying contraceptive coverage, equal pay, or health care coverage.
To put it simply, the promise of equality is not real or robust if it has exceptions. There's nothing polite about having the door slammed in our face because of who you are.
As a transgender woman of colour, I take exception to Mr. Brooks' view that we should have to accept religious discrimination from anyone, simply because they feel that their religion gives them license to be a bigot. NO. And not just no, but hell no, nobody has the right to hide behind the draping of the flag and use a bible as a mask to deny me or anyone like me the right to be who I am, just because that person thinks their religion says they can.

I doubt this will be read or perhaps laughed off, but the irony is striking here at the ACLU right now. I remember a group that stood with Nazi's on principle.
This argument is bad for one major reason--there are tons of exclusions that deny the majority things to day justified on beliefs of how best to remedy inequality. We may have valid historical reasons for accepting this discrimination that this is a non-harm, but your colorblind article most certainly extends to the beliefs on how to remedy such problems.
On liberal princple, if the state is to treat its citizens with fairness and equal concern, both the LBGT and religious people should have strict scrutiny protections. But there should not be carved-in exceptions to religious liberties made by legislatures on specific grounds. It imposes rational basis on people's beliefs and prevents a religious believer to be misheard by the state.
Brooks may have been wrong about "gentle-persuasion" and all his metaphysical nonsense, but to act as if a court should not weigh the valid interests of a religious belief denies free exercise--Ollie had his day in court. And yes, I know what Smith says, but it is wrongly decided.

Essentially this is what the gay agenda want. They would love to silence the Christian voice in america. It is obvious that they blame Christians for their self loathe, suicide, depression, and the way they are viewed by society. So they believe if we would, shut-up-as a society-and give them the green light, that it would make them feel better about who they are, but it is obvious that it is not Christians fault, but their own choice. if i choose to fornicate it is not the fault of the media, pornography industry, songs i listen to, my upbringing, or anything else, it is simply my choice. I pray for God's mercy and grace over their life and mine, in Jesus name, Amen.

If the ACLU actually believes this, why didn't the ACLU stand up for the California students who wanted to do nothing more than wear a shirt with the American flag on it? Was that too heterosexual for the ACLU? It's OK to discriminate against moderately patriotic students?
The American Civil Liberties Union often times promotes the invasion of America by foreign, illegal aliens, but when actual American students are having their civil liberties violated... the ACLU is SILENT?

Louise Melling, David Brooks is an Ignorant spokes person who is totally uneducated about LGBTQI People, and YES WE ARE PEOPLE. Im a T part of the acronym and second class at times could be a step up as we are treated. In this more enlightened age maybe his 'Wait and see attitude' could be tested. All business that want religious protection (from Lawsuits) simply Post large and Very Visible signs at all entrances to their Businesses stating: WE ARE A BIGOT BUSINESS. This will have the courtesy of letting all know their thoughts of others.

I've said it before, and it bears repeating:
If you want to open a business with the intent of only doing business with people who share your beliefs, set up a booth in the basement or social hall of your church. "Open to the public" means "open to the public."

Cas V.
Given that it is apparently legal for businesses to discriminate against the gay community in certain areas of the US (but not in others), I almost think it would be better if businesses opposed to serving gay clientele would broadcast it openly in those areas where such discrimination is still legal, so I could avoid accidentally patronizing these businesses. I also think it would be less hurtful for a same-sex couple planning a wedding to know, in advance, where they will not be welcome before they bother with making a good-faith inquiry. And a lot of hetero couples would like to know this information too, not just because it discriminatory, but it is also a potential red flag for poor business ethics and practices in other arenas.
I'm in the process of compiling a list of businesses documented to have refused services. I suspect a lot of people are also doing this.

I think perhaps you are misrepresenting Brooks' position. He clearly states in his article, "Certain basic truths are inalienable. Discrimination is always wrong. In cases of actual bigotry, the hammer comes down." I think he makes a distinction that you do not. He believes it is illegal to deny gays service, but your photo suggests otherwise. He (and many others) believe it is another matter to require a business to cater a gay wedding if it violated their religious beliefs. (Please see a thoughtful discussion of this distinction in the Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/04/should-businesses-that-quietly-oppose-gay-marriage-be-destroyed/389489/)
Here is a personal example: My Rabbi performs a service for money: wedding ceremonies. However, he refused to perform my wedding, because I was marrying a non-Jew. My wife was not born Jewish and she was not interested in converting. Should the law compel him to perform the service? Of course not. Unless there is no reasonable alternative the government should not compel him to act against his own religious beliefs. I can go to many other people to get my marriage service performed.
A local Pizza shop owner is a fundamentalist Christian, who does not believe in same sex marriages. Should he serve gay patrons in his shop? of course. Should the govt. compel him to cater a same sex wedding? I don't think so. There are many other businesses who would be willing to cater the wedding.

At some point, you need to be an adult. You need to look at the fundies and say "That's very childish of you, I'm going to be an adult somewhere else." Besides, it keeps you out of the moral quandary of forcing your beliefs on others so that they can't force their beliefs on others.

When I was a kid I loved (amongst other things) The Beano, Asterix, and Tintin. Tintin, in particular – the artistry, epic adventures, linework, dog, hairstyle, the (slightly dodgy) depictions of exciting foreign cultures… It was/is mind-blowing.
Following a Graphic Arts BA I started a magazine with friends, which ran for a few years. This allowed me to hone both my creative skills as a graphic designer, and my style as an illustrator. I later worked in advertising as a freelance designer, which gave me the opportunity to use my developing style on bigger, commercial projects. (And get dead fast at using Photoshop with an Art Director hovering over my shoulder at 11:30pm). Between jobs I'd always spend time on my own work. I had friends who were already successful in freelance illustration, so understood early on that it takes a lot of grafting (and drafting) to get established.
Being asked to create an Art Label for the Beck's Be Kreativ project was massive – a dream job. For my design, I wanted to create a sort of 'meta label', using the shape of the label itself as a starting point, and the idea of it peeling off and folding within itself. I took inspiration from a piece by my fave designer, Franco Grignani, that involves squares morphing into circles, with each stage of the transition contained in the square. Once I started playing with this idea, I found I could create a letter B as the end stage. A beer label is unique – although small, it is a very distinctive canvas, with a huge amount of visibility
Outside of work, I cycle a lot – nothing alleviates the stresses of the sedentary illustrator's life better than a spin through the Essex lanes (or ideally, Italy/France/Spain). Cycling and drawing: what's better than that?

Finding an unoccupied Sunday afternoon at my disposal (having attended an early Mass and received my required blessing as a catechist, spent ninety minutes endeavoring neither to instill nor condone heresy in my remedial confirmandi, and discovered that my husband had vanished for football-related pursuits when I returned home), I folded some laundry, baked a pan of Stouffer's lasagna (truly, now that I have a working oven, I am a gourmande!), and departed for Ikea.
Before that, of course, I engaged in some soul-searching as to whether it were appropriate to do so; had I not just read to eight comatose adolescents that not even my "male or female slave" may do any work upon the Sabbath? I debate this matter often. While the bulk of my home improvement projects are performed on Saturdays, I always do something on Sunday, even if it's only folding laundry or grocery shopping; and sometimes it's a good bit of building something. And it's not as though I take the rest of the week for leisure and work Sunday; I try to knock out an hour on my projects every night. I do not do any paid work on Sunday, which is really the bulk of my "work," even if household chores are actually more menial. And there is a fair argument that the kitchen renovation is my hobby (= leisure). And Ikea is clearly a treat.
So, as I was saying, I went to Ikea.
There, I spent an amount of money that seriously disturbs me to spend all at once, even if I have thought the matter out carefully beforehand (I had). Never mind that I know each of these items is at a rock-bottom price for a thing of its kind. It still bothers me. Anyway, I bought:
My countertops! I have been planning on butcher block and probably Ikea (can't beat the prices), but finally the other week I settled on the thicker ones, and realized that I really preferred the oak. Because it's oak, and it's beautiful, and it already has eased edges (which means I don't need to borrow a router from anybody. I already take on plenty of carpentry, and I am well aware that the less I have to do, the less I can screw up).
And I bought curtains for the living room. It's the only room for which I'd not yet found curtains (other than the upstairs hallway, which suddenly became a small study and now, in my view, needs floral curtains. That I have not yet found for an acceptable price). I had been waiting partly because there's nothing good and partly because I frankly had no idea (or rather, over fifty ideas) of what I wanted in the first place and partly because I need six panels and that can really add up. And then I found these and was sort of stunned that they were Ikea, because they don't look way-too-modern to me at all, and they finally got them back in stock, and they look perfect in person (haven't hung them up just yet), so I think that was $90 well spent. (Deep breaths.) See, they're pretty:
OK, well, you can't even tell. It doesn't matter. There's also two ways to hang them on the rod (bunched, as shown, or with fake pleats). I think I'm going to go with the pleats. I may even remember to take a picture. The fabric has a subtle pattern that I am convinced is sufficiently formal for the living room without being too fussy - check it out.
Finally, I have recently been up to more cabinetry. No pictures yet - but soon. This is the project for which I took the third door from my great cabinet caper, cut it in half to make two smaller doors, and built a cabinet around it. (I have actually done all this. Down to matching the trim on the original cabinet.) Of course cabinet-making is more complicated than it looks to a silly amateur like me, and I screwed up the set of the doors in a way that still seems to me to defy the laws of physics, but which would probably be incredibly obvious to anybody competent. I am convinced I can fix the problem with the proper application of a saw. Will let you know how that turns out.
ANYWAY, the new cabinet hangs above the stove. (Yes! It's already up there! With its wonky doors!) On the cabinet hangs the pretty copper light. (It's really VERY pretty.) I wired the new light to the wiring for the old (and hideous) fluorescent light, and wired the whole thing back to the wall. I don't know whether it works yet, because we are not throwing the breaker until I ALSO wire it to the new hood, having taken the old hood off the wiring. I need to do this soon, because my next cabinet-building project (and therefore the next step in the kitchen remodel that WILL be done by Christmas) is building a stove hood cover.
I will be happy to share my FULL thoughts on stove hoods with any foolhardy person who asks nicely. In short, they make me cranky (not unlike Ikea, to which, by degrees, we are coming). After musing on these thoughts, I concluded that what I need for my kitchen is a stove hood cover, like so:
Which brings me back to Ikea. Currently my kitchen doesn't have ductwork for an exterior-venting hood. Therefore, I decided I wanted a convertible hood: I can install it as ductless, and if we (or a later owner) decide that ducted is the way to go, then we can hire someone to knock some holes in the walls and ceiling). Ikea seemed to have one of the best options:
It is convertible; it comes with the charcoal filter for non-ducted use; it is a good price; and it has a pretty high CFM rate for the price-point. But its most important feature is those two little black knobs. See how they're on almost the very bottom of the unit? If I measure my hood cover right, it will be possible to reach them with the hood cover on. Obviously, that is essential.
I should note here that Ikea offers only two under-cabinet hoods (cabinet not included, by the way). The website shows two. The showroom has two. The product index on the computers in the stock area has two. One is ductless only (and costs a good bit less. And comes only in white). The convertible one comes only in stainless steel. That's what I bought. And I picked up its nice box and I put it in the car and took it home.
Then, on Monday, I opened the box so I could see whether the advertised length included the width of the knobs, and start sketching measurements for my stove hood cover. And what did I find? I found this:
The only stainless steel under-cabinet vent hood Ikea advertises has a curved front, and does not angle in at the sides. But the one in my box is different. And the controls are on the top, which is clearly not the case with the hood on Ikea's site OR the hood in its showroom! AND my hood had a dent across the front. That's not acceptable, but it could happen without them knowing if the box were struck (of course, the box was in perfect condition). AND when you look at the top, where there are mounting screw holes, one of them is bent out - in a way that could only happen if someone tried to install it and used too much force. There's also a scratch by one of the screw holes.
So they sold me a used hood (or at least a returned one) - in a new box. When it was not in new condition. They also sold me a hood THAT THEY DON'T CARRY, and therefore that I can be very sure I didn't order. I'm willing to bet this is the previous-generation model of their under-cabinet hood. Which would make the mistake innocent IF they still advertised this on their website, at the same price as the new version, and they switched the boxes. But that's not what's happened here. They discontinued an item, replaced it in all their literature with a newer, nicer item, and have the audacity to keep stock in their warehouses to supply the old item to unsuspecting customers at the new item price. If they wanted to offer me 25% off to buy last year's model, fine (I would have said no because I need the controls to be lower, but I wouldn't have minded them asking), but they did not ask. If they don't advertise that product, they should not stock it.
So while I have my receipt and can go and exchange my hood for the correct one, I believe a much sterner correction is in order here. Because this is not a stockist error - it's a corporate error. And I am very, very cranky about it.
The moral of the story (and others have said this before, and I didn't listen, but maybe you will): OPEN THE BOXES before you even get them to the loading area. Bring packing tape if you have to to re-pack them for the car; but open them, open them, open them!
That is all.
