General Aviation News
Opera's high flying star
Opera singer Michael Fabiano has been obsessed with aviation ever since he was a child.
He recalls when he was just 5 years old, his parents bought him a subscription to Aviation Week magazine. He continued reading everything he could about aviation as he was growing up and was firmly convinced he would have a career in aviation.
That is, until he got to college.
That's when a voice teacher asked him a question that changed his life: "Do you realize the talent you have?"
Michael said no. He'd always loved to sing, but never thought of it as a career.
But his voice teacher convinced him, saying, "You have a different talent than the average student. And when you have a talent this big, you have a responsibility to the talent."
"And so day by day, I just realized I had a deep love for singing. And I switched."
It was the right decision.
When he was just 22 years old, he won a Metropolitan Opera competition in New York.
"Then my career just kicked into gear," he recalls.
Now 36, the tenor has performed all over the world, traveling 10 to 11 months a year for his art. Just this month, he opened as Cavaradossi in the Puccini opera Tosca in Paris.
But even as singing became his career, he never forgot his love of flight.
About eight years ago, he finally began taking flight lessons while he was performing in England.
"I did all the way up through my first solo in England," noting his first solo was in a Piper Archer and "not one with a glass cockpit," he recalls with a chuckle.
Upon his return to the United States, he continued his flight training, eventually earning his private pilot certificate in 2016. And in March 2021 he added his instrument rating.
"Finally," he says. "It took me forever because the problem with my career is I'm in a different city every month, more or less."
But that changed in 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic.
While many pilots flew much less, Michael seized the opportunity to earn his instrument rating.
And he's not done. Now with about 500 hours, he hopes to one day earn his multi-engine and commercial tickets.
"I'd like to be able to fly a Diamond DA62, DA50, or DA42 and some other larger turbo planes," he says. "One dream plane for me — maybe down the line — is a Piper M500 or an M350."
Based in New Jersey when he's home, Michael doesn't own a plane now. Instead he has joined a number of flying clubs around the world so he can fly in the city where he's performing.
"I fly as often as I can to stay current," he says, noting he's flown a variety of aircraft, including Cessna 172s and 182s, Piper Archers, Warriors, and Arrows, and Cirrus SR20s and SR22s.
One of his favorites is the SR22.
"It's a great plane," he says. "Not only is it a rocket ship, it's just a joy to fly."
While he flies as often as he can to keep his skills sharp, he also will use general aviation to travel to different performances.
"There have been many instances where I was working on the West Coast, for instance, between San Francisco and Los Angeles, or in the East between New York and DC, when I'll rent an Archer or Arrow and transit between the two cities, because frankly, it's a lot healthier for me to not be around a ton of people before I sing. One thing that people don't realize is that if I get even marginally sick, it's very difficult to perform. I've got to have my health. So I often fly myself when I don't have huge distances to go. I would rather rent a plane."
Of course, if it's a much longer flight — like the one for his most recent performance in Paris — he flies commercial.
The Parallels Between Flying and Singing
There are many similarities between flying and singing, Michael has discovered.
"When I learned how to fly, one thing that became really clear to me is that you've got to be one with the plane," he says. "Your head's got to be clear. You cannot be focused on anything else but flying the plane. Of course, it goes in line with that moniker IMSAFE, right?"
IMSAFE is the checklist pilots use to assess their fitness to fly. It stands for Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, and Emotion.
"IMSAFE is really important to singing too, because if I am inebriated or if I'm emotional or if I'm any one of those letters in that acronym when I'm performing, I'm not going to do my job," he explains. "I realized that just like I have to fly the plane and do nothing else, I have to sing and do nothing else. And sometimes when you're on stage, it's easy to get sidetracked. It's easy to let external issues with family, friends, love, money, and business get in the way of doing the job. And when that happens, the voice does not work."
He takes the analogy one step further: "I'm always reminded to just do almost nothing. You know, the plane flies itself. If I just use two fingers on the yoke, that's enough. I don't really need much more than that. And the same goes for the voice. It requires very little input, in reality. It doesn't require force or effort if it's done efficiently. And if I try to do too much, it actually is not enough, which is crazy, right?"
"It's the same for flying," he continues. "Pulling the yoke back too hard or over manipulating the controls probably will lead the plane into distress. And so if I over manipulate my voice, I actually will be in distress. It was interesting when I was learning how to fly how many parallels there were and how much more it informed my own career."
Another parallel between flying and singing is the constant need to keep current.
"I have to keep studying all the time, otherwise my skill atrophies fast," he notes. "It's just like going to the gym and lifting weights. If you stop lifting weights for three months, the small tears in the muscles start to disappear and you lose muscle mass. And the vocal cords are a small muscle."
"The same applies to flying," he continues. "If you stop flying even for a few weeks, your feeling of the plane diminishes fast. The skill of flying disappears very fast. I don't have as much time under the belt as a lot of pilots, but I venture to say that if I go more than a month without flying a plane, it takes me a good hour to two hours, and a bunch of landings, to just get back in with feeling super comfortable with the plane."

Yup our Fleet Farm Store has a marine,farm and automotive section for battery supplies.They have extra long side terminal bolts for joining 2 side terminal cables together plus a cable.Also have an array of marine dial shut off switches that go right on the post.This is what 2013 Chevy Malibu looks like these days,a fusible link box right on the battery and huge fuse/breaker box along side.Even a 300 amp fusible for the stater cable.
Hey lleelduo,How much is that new fusible link panel 2013 Malibu 2.5 I4?
on the wire loom taking out what I don't need.some things I don't recognize been a while,may need help here.
Putting the relays up front and triggering them with light wire from the run or aux terminals from dash similar to the new car.got an inexspeneive 2" tach and was wondering if it would fit in the clock socket and almost does will with light sanding.Can install the dash to orig. with an added tach.
The Malibu battery terminal is a pretty cool factory item - I like it.
The new terminal you got looks much better also.
That mini tach works out nicely.
I've added 13 relays so far to my Monza.
More stuff today,New key lock and ign. switch,pig tails for the coolant tank and AD244 alt.
Coolant tank plug cost as much as the tank!?!
Also got some Delco HD relays with the large power terminal that GM used for fuel pumps,blower motors,and other stuff pricey but don't have to use a lot of them.
Configuring the auto headlight system yesterday and haven't found info for installing on the classic car lighting system,only on late models that hook into the existing headlamp loom.#1 Have to use the floor mounted dimmer switch. #2 Putting up front one relay for high and one for low beam.#3 Using the existing parking and dash light system.
This relay works on Br. and Dim.
other wires are red from module to constant power,yellow switched power,black ground and wires for other things like alarms and wind shield wiper lights on mode.
tied in with blu hi beam and grn low beam from relay and common grnd.
at the other drivers side end the plug and added the light grn wire to go to the 'brights' indicator.
Two purples are bat power to headlight hi and low relays and came with fuses in the kit so just added connector to battery and may replace fuses with cir breakers one for hi and low beams.
also made a double 8 gauge alt wire and sense wire to the batt.
Doing more on the Fuel pump relay up front.Ran 10 gau power and ground wires to the tank.Ron Francis Wiring found inadequate connections when grounding the fuel pump through the frame and recommend the same gauge wire all the way up to the batt so that is what i did also.Had to use a PCV grommet to get the wire through double sheet metal at the fire wall.
Cased with conduit,grounds hook to neg. batt.
Going to put the relay right there and will tape it up when the pos. trigger wire is hooked up.easy access good spot for it.
Playing with air cleaners and hood clearance.My neighbor borrowed me an old busted Holley 850 so mocked up some filters.The goal is to get at least a 3" filter under the hood.Cut some packing foam a diff hts.
Almost shut but the hood braces were in the way.Something that most H body folks have to contend with so made some cuts on it.Have seen the hood braces cut all the way out to the edges but decided to just trace and remove for the cleaner top lid.
That fits with 3.75" filter ht. for a 3.5" filter.
VegaBee instead of the foam might I suggest that you form a ring of sheet metal and weld the ring in maybe with a flange that would add some strength back to your cut ribs. That would look much closer to the quality of your build, use some heat putty to protect the paint. Harry http://www.eastwood.com/coldshield-thermal-paste.html [ http://search.eastwood.com/search?w=heat+sheild+gel ] played with it in a store seems worth while, might seem expensive until you try and match that paint on the hood!
Harry I checked out my neighbors Vega wagon to see what he does for hood clearance since he had many Vegas since the early 70's,more prob than any one I know and he likes to cut the entire bracing off the whole perimeter of the hood.He says no problem with flex and opened his and gave it a twist back and forth and we did not see much flex at all.The bracing wasn't hardly attached and fell out when cut,kinda just hanging there.He also sometimes has a hole in the center of his for a mustang style hood scoop to ram some air in the carb and still the hood holds quite stiff.
Good work Bee! Tough to fit everything under the hood but better looking than a scoop imo. Throttle body looks bada$$.
FI Tech has 3 fuel inlets and 1 fuel return to place lines at diff locations,glad for that.did not have to modify the cleaner base but placed the fittings to the rear of the unit and pointed them in like this.easy to do since the LS engines don't have a distributor back there.

The United Methodist Church of Chagrin Falls provides an exciting and engaging program of ministry opportunities for young people of all ages. Under the leadership of Nicholas Gliha and many volunteers, teens can find opportunities to grow spiritually, develop deep friendships with others, serve the community and the world, and simply have a good time. Click here to read what's happening with our youth the month of September here!
Middle School Sunday School recognizes that kids are going through the process of discovering who they are. This process brings about tension of desired autonomy, struggles with self-esteem and the search for those similar to them. Now more than possibly ever is it important for kids to have a morally grounded friend circle and to hear that whether they believe it or not, God thinks they are amazing the way they are. This class meets for one hour to watch videos, discuss scripture and share experiences from their lives as they search for God, themselves and their purposes.
High School uses a new and exciting curriculum called Switch: Don't Be Different Alone. Switch groups watch videos, engage one another in discussions and make the Bible relevant in their daily living. Switch is led by Mr. Chris Bryant. We'll save a seat on the couch just for you!

Dome Creek
Dome Creek heads against the northeast side of Monument Mountain. A locality on this creek was not included by Cobb (1972; MF 417) but Cobb (1975; OFR 75-429; 1981; OFR 81-363A, p. A7) includes a prospect by this name in the quadrangle (he places it in the Koyuk district however). This locality could be anywhere in the Dome Creek drainage and cannot be located closer than a few miles.
Good prospects were reported to be found on Dome Creek in 1901 (Mendenhall, 1902). It is assumed here that this reference is to placer gold prospects and that these were on the Dome Creek that has headwaters against Monument Mountain.

Set in an urban fairytale, DeShawn (an unlikely anti-hero) is smack-dabbing in the middle of a peculiar crossroads. He is haunted by the ghosts of one hundred men: ex-"boyfriends," in addition to the ghosts of everyone they dated. His days are filled with spiraling epiphanies and lucid, reckless bohemianism fueled by systemic poverty and HIV ennui. In this particular sketch he is relating his philosophy of the world to an unknown caller on his landline telephone while magically shrink-fitting a new pair of jeans that he recently shoplifted from Levi's.

El Partido Gay (en italiano: Partito Gay), cuyo nombre completo es Partito Gay per i diritti LGBT+, Solidale Ambientalista e Liberale («Partido Gay por los derechos LGBT+, Solidario Ambientalista y Liberal»), es una agrupación política italiana, siendo la primera destinada específicamente a la defensa de los derechos de la diversidad sexual y la visibilización del voto rosa en el escenario político italiano.

Historia
Los orígenes del partido se remontan a 2018, cuando Fabrizio Marrazzo —activista LGBT, portavoz del Gay Center y expresidente de Arcigay en Roma— inscribió el 30 de agosto la marcha "Partito Gay", que incluía un logotipo que contenía una banda con los colores de la bandera LGBT y la frase «Europa Italia» en la parte superior. En aquel momento Marrazzo señalaba que el partido se encontraba en una etapa embrionaria a la espera de poder desarrollarla a nivel masivo en futuras elecciones y esperaba captar entre el 6% y el 15% de los votos.

El partido fue presentado públicamente el 19 de noviembre de 2020, en un acto encabezado por Marrazzo además de los activistas LGBT Claudia Toscano y Vittorio Tarquini. El partido define entre sus pilares programáticos la solidaridad, el ambientalismo y el liberalismo. La presentación del partido generó críticas desde el interior de la comunidad LGBT, dado que consideran que los derechos civiles no pueden ser defendidos de manera sectorial según cada grupo.

Entre las acciones del partido en sus primeros meses de actividad estuvo el acusar de homofobia al futbolista Zlatan Ibrahimovic por comentarios emitidos en el 71° Festival de San Remo, donde realizó bromas hacia el cantante Achille Lauro, y una solicitud para que los Jardines Públicos Indro Montanelli de Milán sea renombrado como Raffaella Carrà en homenaje a su reciente fallecimiento y en rechazo a los comentarios racistas que Montanelli emitió durante su vida.

El Partido Gay presentó candidaturas para las elecciones municipales de 2021, principalmente en las ciudades de Roma, Milán y Turín, donde presentaron como candidatos a alcalde a Fabrizio Marazzo, Mauro Festa y Davide Betti Balducci, respectivamente. En el caso de Turín, el partido ha denunciado homofobia por parte de los administradores del condominio donde se encuentra una sede de la agrupación debido a las dificultades que han presentado para desplegar la bandera LGBT y los símbolos del partido, así como realizar actividades de campaña. En Nápoles el partido apoya la candidatura de Antonio Bassolino, que es presentada por una coalición de listas cívicas que incluye a «Bassolino per Napoli», «Con Napoli Bassolino Sindaco» y «Napoli è Napoli», además del partido Acción. La agrupación también se presentó en Morterone, la comuna más pequeña de Italia, con Andrea Grassi como candidato a alcalde, mientras que en Valnegra presentó la candidatura a alcalde de Andrea Viscardi; ninguno de los candidatos resultó electo.

En cuanto a la asignación de concejales municipales producto de las mismas elecciones locales de octubre de 2021, el Partido Gay logró elegir 10 escaños: 2 en Valnegra, 3 en Morterone, y 5 en Lemie y Gravere (en estas 2 últimas comunas en coalición con otras listas cívicas).

En las elecciones municipales de 2022 el partido volvió a presentar candidaturas a alcalde: 15 de ellas fueron presentadas con el partido en solitario, mientras que otras candidaturas fueron presentadas como parte de listas cívicas o en coalición con otras agrupaciones electorales. El partido logró elegir 11 concejales.

Para las elecciones generales de 2022, el partido no logró recolectar las 80 mil firmas necesarias para poder inscribirse y el 22 de agosto anunciaron un acuerdo con el Movimiento 5 Estrellas para llevar 2 candidatos del Partido Gay en las listas de dicho partido: Fabrizio Marrazzo y Marina Zela.

ArenaAid has become one of our most popular footing additives. The combination of nylon and polyester fibers stabilizes a wide variety of sands, new or existing. The unique formula of fibers gives sand a structure by trapping loose, rolling particles. As an added benefit, the nylon fibers hold moisture in your arena surface.
ArenaAid increases stability and grip, cushion, cupping, and rebound.
ArenaAid is a perfect solution if you want the performance of a fiber-textile arena surface without the cost of replacing all the sand. ArenaAid is easy to install and very affordable. It is a neutral, non-toxic, non-allergenic material that will not affect humans or animals. ArenaAid is environmentally safe and made in America.
A medium to fine sand with sub-angular particles is best. Particle size will be the most important factor in sand requirement.


Started with this kids shirt... way too small for me but I loved the tiger!
Side view! Sooo I've worn it a couple of times and I actually love it, but the feedback I have gotten is "wow that shirt is weird" "yeah, but does it look good?" "I don't even know how to evaluate... it looks weird" and assorted similar comments.
So I am assuming it is a failed experiment and does not look right. BUT - I actually kinda like it.
Try to "save" it? (Suggestions?) Toss it? Redo the whole thing? Leave it as is and keep loving my "weird" style? Let me know what you think!
And I could imagine it in a fancy fashion magazine on a skinny model wearing black high waist jeans and a black tube bra underneath.
But if people aren't used to see such avant-garde clothing (on you) maybe it seem far out to them.
What is more important: Do you like it?
I don't find it weird at all. I have quite conservative taste, and I like this piece - it's pretty normal looking to me, but with nice details. I especially like the lace straps.
Does it look significantly different on you, compared to on your dress form? If not, I am perplexed as to why anyone would think it weird!
Love it. Ignore the haters.
I don't think it's weird either. In fact, I think it's a brilliant way to up-size a kids' top. Great job!
I quite like this. The gold lace ties in so nicely with the design of the tiger.... what a great idea for a kids shirt transformation.
I could see something like this selling in an upscale fashion clothing store.

10-Pack: Fallout from the Dez Bryant predraft interview
Mike Florio
Update: As of Friday morning, the context of Jeff Ireland's question about Dez Bryant's is being reported, and that sheds a different light on the issue. Read more in Dan Levy's story in The Sporting Blog.
Dez Bryant has accepted Jeff Ireland's apology for an inappropriate question, but the issue of prospect interviews is far from resolved.
ProFootballTalk.com's Mike Florio weighs in on the Dez Bryant-Jeff Ireland predraft interview:
Last week, Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports reported that receiver Dez Bryant had been asked during pre-draft interview whether his mother is a prostitute. The story grew no legs.
On Tuesday, Silver reported that the question in question had been asked by Dolphins G.M. Jeff Ireland. Since then, the story has made Usain Bolt and Chris Johnson look like tortoises with torn ACLs.
The situation also presents many twists and turns and layers and levels. I probably could come up with more than 10 takes on the topic. But I must balance my interest in writing about the topic with the audience's interest in reading about it.
So it's 10. And only 10.
1. Lawsuit possibilities.
A player who has not yet been drafted has no obligation to defer to the grievance procedures contained in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. As a result, he can sue the league and/or any of its teams, if he believes his legal rights have been violated.
Generally speaking, there's no law against being a jerk. That said, most states recognize that, at a certain level, deliberate misconduct creates potential civil liability.
In Florida (as in most states), the bar is high. The behavior must be outrageous, and the target of the conduct must have suffered severe emotional distress. The latter point doesn't mesh with the image of toughness projected by a football player, making it less likely that a player ever would file suit.
That said, at a certain point, a wildly inappropriate question could spark litigation, especially if the question triggers a real and substantial emotional reaction.
Ireland has taken all of the blame in the Bryant scandal.
2. Ireland's future.
Before this incident, Ireland was regarded as a guy whose career in Miami likely would be tied to that of V.P. of football operations Bill Parcells. The working theory in league circles was that, after Parcells goes, Carl Peterson will be hired to replace him, and Peterson will hire a new G.M.
This latest development likely will give owner Stephen Ross (and, presumably, Peterson) cover to oust Ireland once Parcells leave.
Ireland surely will land on his feet, especially since he has by all appearances put himself in position to take the fall.
3. The Teflon Tuna.
What's that, you say? Why shouldn't Ireland take the fall? Though he's the one who asked the question, responsibility for the question ultimately lands on the desk of Ireland's boss.
Still, for reasons not yet known, Bill Parcells has to date avoided blame for the Bryant blunder. The Tuna's ability to remain off the hook could be changing. Former NFL defensive end Marcellus Wiley told ESPN Radio on Thursday that Parcells' first question for him during a 2004 free-agent visit was, "Do you do drugs?"
That same question possibly will be posed by Stephen Ross to whoever it was who gave the green light to the question that was posed.
4. The "Fight Club" factor.
Plenty of people believe that the Dolphins didn't ask the question because they wanted to know the answer to it, but because they wanted to see how Bryant would handle it. It's also possible that the Dolphins were interested in finding out whether Bryant would opt for discretion moving forward.
In an industry that demands from its workers a high degree of secrecy, the Dolphins are even more secretive than most. And if the first rule of "Fight Club" is to never talk about "Fight Club," maybe the Dolphins wanted to see whether Bryant would blab.
Eventually, he did. Though that didn't deter the Dallas Cowboys, it could have caused some of the 24 teams who picked players before the 'Boys to pass on Dez Bryant.
5. Dolphins ultimately didn't like Dez.
The Dolphins' objective in posing the question to Bryant isn't clear. It's possible that they simply wanted to know the answer. It's possible that they know the answer, and that they wanted to see how he handled the question. It's also possible that they simply wanted to see how he'd react to the question.
If it's the latter, it's unknown whether the Dolphins hoped he'd sit there and take it, whether he'd storm out, or whether he'd take a swing at the person who posed the question. Regardless, it's clear that the Dolphins decided not long after their visit with Bryant that they didn't want him. Roughly a week after Bryant came to town, the Dolphins traded for receiver Brandon Marshall.
Maybe his response and/or reaction to the question was the deciding factor.
6. Was Ireland justified?
Though most people believe Ireland crossed the line when posing the question to Bryant, some in the league and in the media believe he should be applauded. Rightly or wrongly, the NFL is a tough, nasty, mean business, with grown men subjecting each other to physical and verbal abuse between the white lines — and often beyond them.
Multiple league insiders insist that far worse questions have been asked to incoming rookies, all in the name of finding out more about how they'll handle themselves under the unique stress and duress of pro football.
So under the loose rules that already existed in matters of this nature, Ireland arguably did nothing wrong. The real question is whether the NFL and its teams will use this exercise as the starting point for demanding more respectful interactions and discourse.
7. The presentation caused the problem.
Some have suggested that the Dolphins legitimately needed to know the answer to the question. If, as the theory goes, Bryant's mother was or is a prostitute, he possibly will need counseling or other services from the team. Also, his mother possibly has associations that could compromise Bryant, from the perspective of the 6,000-pound gambling elephant that always is sitting in the corner of the luxury suite.
If that's the case — if the Dolphins asked the question not to gauge Bryant's reaction but because they needed to know the answer — they did a poor job of presenting the topic.
With less than a minute of prefatory comments, the Dolphins could have explained to Bryant their reason for asking a sensitive question, and they could have apologized in advance for even having to ask the question. The fact that they apparently didn't try strongly suggests that they had one goal: to see how Bryant would react.
8. The union's role.
Because questions of this nature are posed before the players have joined the union, there's nothing that the NFLPA can really do to address this problem. Still, the union has the ability to do much more than issue a statement (as it did on Wednesday) expressing disapproval without providing any specific guidance or identifying any precise expectations.
The union instead should attempt to begin to change the culture of the league, coming up with ideas and strategies for getting players to quit disrespecting each other on the field or in a locker room. Though it may take 50 years or longer to fully effect change, the disconnect between football and the rest of the world needs to change, and the union should have a role far more substantial than sniping from the bushes.

9. The league's role.
Given that most, if not all, teams from time to time pose inappropriate questions to prospects, the league could be tempted to keep its head low and hope that the situation blows over quickly. The perception that the league arguably overreacted regarding 2007's Spygate situation, nailing the Patriots for cheating without taking a broader look at whether other teams do the same thing, possibly has prompted the NFL to assume that, in matters of this nature, the team's only real sin was getting caught.
But now that the cathouse question is out of the bag, the league needs to come up with a way to address the situation in a manner that is sensitive both to the fact that most if not all teams ask insensitive questions from time to time to incoming draft picks and to the realities of the unusual chemistry that develops among those who play the game.
Ultimately, the league's goal should be the same as the union's — to resist the urge to accept that the football culture "is what it is," and to try to change it.
10. The homophobia connection.
Statistics tell us that, with more than 1,700 players in the NFL, more than a few of them are gay. But no gay player ever has come out of the closet during his playing career.
To understand the reasons for this reality, look no farther than the Ireland-Bryant example.
Football players and coaches are cruel. They prey on weakness. Within the locker room, homosexuality is viewed as a weakness — and as a threat. As long as questions of the kind that Ireland asked Bryant are tolerated within a football team, homosexuality never will be.

Armenian Assembly, Members of Congress Commemorate 101st Anniversary of Armenian Genocide
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last night, the Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) joined the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, in coordination with the Embassy of Armenia, the Nagorno Karabakh Representation office in D.C., and the Armenian National Committee of America, for the annual commemoration of the Armenian Genocide on Capitol Hill. Each Member present honored the victims of the genocide and emphasized the importance of remembering and learning from the lessons of the past so that they are not repeated in the future.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA) at the 101st Commemoration of the Armenian Genocide on Capitol Hill.
"Tonight, as we remember the victims of the first genocide of the twentieth century, let us renew our commitment to working for the safety and freedom of their descendants," said House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA). "Only by so doing do we truly honor the memory of the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide."
Elise Kenderian Aronson, former Chief of Staff to a senior Member of the House Armed Services Committee who emceed the event, started by introducing Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues Co-Chair Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ). In addition to the Armenian Genocide, Rep. Pallone also discussed Azerbaijan's attack against Artsakh earlier in the month. "The Armenian Caucus is concerned that this can happen again and become a long-term war," he stated.
Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), Elise Kenderian Aronson, Armenian Assembly Executive Director Bryan Ardouny, and Armenian Assembly Board of Trustees Member Annie Totah.
Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Robert Dold (R-IL) discussed his personal time spent researching the issues, looking at photos, and meeting with members of survivor families. Rep. Dold quoted Pope Francis, who described the genocide as an open wound. "We all hoped the 100th anniversary would be the year we got recognition. I thank you for your time to come here year in and year out and educate Congress," Rep. Dold said. "If we don't recognize this, we could be allowing this to happen again on a larger scale."
Along with Armenian Caucus Co-Chairs, Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), House Select Committee on Intelligence Ranking Member Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Reps. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), Dave Brat (R-VA), Tony Cardenas (D-CA), Judy Chu (D-CA), Katherine Clark (D-MA), Jim Costa (D-CA), Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Jim McGovern (D-MA), John Sarbanes (D-MD), Linda Sanchez (D-CA), Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), Brad Sherman (D-CA), Dina Titus (D-NV), Dave Trott (R-MI), and David Valadao (R-CA) participated in the event.
Armenian Ambassador to the U.S. Grigor Hovhannissian speaking with Assembly Executive Director Ardouny.
The Republic of Armenia's Ambassador to the United States Grigor Hovhannissian delivered powerful remarks at the commemoration, explaining that he felt very proud and fulfilled seeing the results of Armenian advocacy throughout the country. Nagorno Karabakh Republic Permanent Representative to the United States Robert Avetisyan also addressed the crowd, and spoke about the horrors of genocide, referring to it as a globalproblem. Both Hovhannissian and Avetisyan echoed the concerns of Members with respect to Azerbaijan's escalation of hostilities.
Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church of America Rev. Fr. Tatev Terteryan gave the invocation and the Eastern Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church of America Prelate Archbishop Oshagan Choloyan provided the benediction.

Cake, the Law and LGBTQ rights?
For the greater part of human history, gay rights were an offense punishable by death due largely to the sway religion has held over society which has allowed it to exert significant influence over the formulation of the laws that govern us today. The law in the majority of countries also empowers the individual with the right of freedom to practice any religion they wish. Inevitably, conflicts arise when certain principles of these religions that were formulated thousands of years ago, are deemed to be antiquated and discriminatory in a world that increasingly prides itself on libertarian principles. With society growing more liberal, more and more compromises have had to be made between religious beliefs and societal attitudes.
In the United Kingdom, the legalization of same sex marriage was made official in 2013 in the controversial Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act. This divisive piece of legislation clashed with the popular Christian belief that marriage should only be between heterosexual couples and the equal rights it bestowed upon same-sex couples.
This clash eventually culminated in the case of Lee v Ashers Baking Company Ltd in 2018. Over the course of four years, the £36.50 cake order escalated into a significant legal battle between the LGBTQ community and Christian groups that ended up in the UK Supreme Court, costing over £450,000. An Irish bakery, Ashers, had refused to supply a cake iced with the message "support gay marriage" and the Queer space logo to Mr. Lee, a gay man. While the Irish courts ruled in Mr. Lee's favor on the grounds of discrimination of sexual orientation, the Supreme Court thought otherwise.
The outcome there was decided in favor of Ashers Baking company as the UK supreme court held that the anti-discriminatory laws in Ireland could not be interpreted as to compel providers of goods and services to engage in an act promoting an ideal they fundamentally disagree with. The Ashers were able to provide substantially compelling evidence that no discrimination had been previously committed against any LGBTQ staff or customers. More importantly, their ability to establish that even had the cake been requested by a heterosexual man it would have been refused was what won them the case.
The Supreme Court's overarching justification was that since Ashers bakery would have refused to supply the cake the plaintiff had ordered, even if he had not been a gay man. As the bakery would have refused to supply the cake to anyone regardless of their sexual orientation, beliefs personal characteristics, it was decided in a 7-2 split that there was no discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation. The court agreed that there was possible discrimination on the basis of political opinion but that this was not in any way justification for compelling the speech of the bakery owners.
The court also found that under the provision of articles 9 and 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the Ashers were well within their means to refuse to accept an order for a cake frosted with a message that they principally disagreed with. This applied regardless of the message in question was and the fact, that manufacturing the cake could not really be construed as in any way promoting or supporting the cause. At the end of the day the "Gay cake case" as it is popularly referred to, was really about upholding freedom of expression rather than a clash between religious and liberal values.

Dapsone has been used to treat leprosy and dermatologic disorders as well as for prophylaxis against falciparum malaria. It has been shown to be useful in the treatment of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in AIDS patients. Use of dapsone in humans has resulted in a number of adverse reactions including bone marrow suppression and hypersensitivity. In light of these known adverse effects and its increasing use in AIDS related P. carinii pneumonia, the immunotoxicological potential of this drug was investigated.
Dapsone was obtained from Sigma Chemical Co., Inc. Its identity was determined by NMR and mass spectral analysis and purity, as determined by HPLC, was approximately 96%. Dapsone was administered by oral gavage to female C57BL/6 mice at doses of 3.4, 13.5, and 54.0 mg/kg daily, seven days/week, for 30 consecutive days. The vehicle was 0.5% methylcellulose which was prepared by dissolving methylcellulose (Fisher Scientific) in double distilled water and stirring overnight at 5°C. Fresh dapsone suspensions were prepared weekly and stored at 5°C. Cyclophosphamide (Sigma) was used as a positive control and was administered i.p. using 25 mg/kg on 4 consecutive days prior to sacrifice.
The baseline toxicology data are summarized in Table 1. No unusual observations were made for any of the experimental groups. No change in body weights were observed; however spleen weights were significantly higher in the high-dose group. Upon sacrifice, this group showed enlarged, dark red spleens. There were no effects of dapsone on non-immune organ weights. Spleen cell subset enumeration demonstrated a significant effect on B cells as evidenced by a decrease in Ly5+ cells at the highest dose level. This was not associated with a significant decrease in surface Ig+ cells. There were no effects on T cells or T cell subsets. Both NK1.1+ cells and Mac-1 + cells showed trends toward a treatment- related increase, but these were not statistically significant. No effects of dapsone were observed on spleen cell proliferative responses to T cell mitogens. However, there were increases in the proliferative response to LPS at the high dose levels (189% of control). Dapsone treatment had no effects on cell-mediated immunity (MLR response or CTL response) or NK cell activity. There was a significant increase in nucleated spleen cell numbers in the high dose group was noted (139% of control) although the PFC response following SRBC immunization was not altered. Erythropenia was observed at the high dose level and was associated with a decreased hematocrit, significant at both the middle and high dose levels. Leukocyte counts were also elevated in the high dose group.
Under these experimental conditions, with the exception of the highest dose, oral administration of dapsone did not result in a significant degree of immunotoxicity in C57BL/6 mice. The pattern of immunotoxicity that was observed appeared to be related to a marginal sensitivity in humoral immunity and manifested as augmented responses. In this regard, the possibility of a "rebound" effect cannot be ruled out.

Stopper knot
(Redirected from List of stopper knots)
A stopper knot (or simply stopper) is a knot that creates a fixed thicker point on an otherwise-uniform thickness rope for the purpose of preventing the rope, at that point, from slipping through a narrow passage, such as a hole in a block. To pass a rope through a block, or hole, is to reeve it. To pull it out is to unreeve it. Stopper knots prevent the rope from unreeving on its own.
Stopper knot, Backup knot, As numbered in picture : 1- Fiador, 2- Sailor's diamond (#693), 3- Figure-eight loop, 4- Diamond, 5- knife lanyard, 6- Chinese button, 7- Chinese button doubled, 8- True lover's, 9- Ashley's, 10- Celtic button, 11- Celtic button on the bight (and thus doubled and with lanyard loop), 12- Friendship, 13- Figure-eight, 14- Overhand
Typical use
Keeps the line from slipping out of things.
"Stopper" has three distinct meanings in the context of knotting and cordage. A decorative stopper knot may be referred to as a lanyard knot.
The single-strand stopper knot is...[one variety] of knob knots. Generally it is tied as a terminal knot in the end of a rope, where it forms a knob or bunch, the general purpose of which is to prevent unreeving. It is found in the ends of running rigging. It secures the end of a sewing thread; it provides a handhold or a foothold in bell ropes and footropes. It adds weight to the end of a heaving line, and it is often employed decoratively, but it should not be used to prevent unlaying and fraying except in small cord, twine, and the like, as a whipping is in every way preferable for large and valuable material.
—  The Ashley Book of Knots[1]
A monkey's tail "is a permanent or semipermanent stopper that is put in the bight as well as the end. It is also called single throat seizing, seized round turn, clinch, and pigtail...A small round turn is first taken, and a throat seizing, in length about a quarter of the round of the clinch, is put in. The monkey's tail is preferred for the purpose just described because it does less damage to rope than any knot. When the monkey's tail fetches against the rack the seizing takes the burden."[2]
1 At the end of a line
2 Around the standing part
3 Nautical usage
At the end of a lineEdit
An Ashley stopper knot at the end of a line
A stopper knot is tied at the end of a rope to prevent the end from unraveling. It then functions like a whipping knot.
A stopper knot is tied at the end of a rope to prevent the end from slipping through another knot, or passing back through a hole, block, or belay/rappel device. It then functions like a leash handle. Knots commonly used for this purpose are:
Overhand knot
Double overhand knot
Figure-eight knot
Stevedore knot
Ashley's stopper knot
The Chinese button knot and the Celtic button knot are decorative stopper knots.
Around the standing partEdit
When a stopper knot is tied outside another knot and around the standing part it can also be called a backup knot. Tying the end around the standing part helps prevent the knot from unraveling by not allowing the end to slide back into the knot: a kind of insurance against failure of the knot. Examples of this usage are often seen in climbing, rope rescue, and other safety-of-life situations. Common knots used for this purpose are:
Double overhand knot/strangle knot
Double fisherman's knot
Nautical usageEdit
In nautical settings, a stopper may refer to a length of rope that is belayed at one end with the other end attached to a tensioned main line using a friction hitch in order to tension the stopper and thereby slacken the portion of the tensioned main line behind the friction hitch. For example if a sheet becomes jammed on a winch while under sail, a "stopper" can be used to temporarily take the strain off the winch while the riding turn is cleared.
Rolling hitch & similar friction hitches
Binding knot

During my quiet walk in the cemetery just before dusk, I discovered a friendly backward snake. He was purple, all coiled up and easy to catch. He had a lot of candy with him too. When I noticed that, I made him evolve right in front of my eyes.
The transformation just happened to complete my required 5 evolutions research. The reward for finishing this field task put Chansey into my life!
This pink Pokémon was also my lucky seven. He completed all 7 steps of my field research challenge. I was so glad I had the balls to continue!
Most people would have been intimidated to try to catch a Raikou. I accepted the challenge and selected a golden razz berry to assist with the capture. Throwing my best curve, one ultra ball did the trick!
I had stacked the Pokédex and there can't be a more dramatic scenario. I was thrilled with my evening stroll, felt alive in the local cemetery and walked home with my buddy.
Now all I need are more friends!
Even though I'm married, I have to admit he's easy on the eyes. He has a dark complexion, is well-dressed and sweet. He comforts me. The only negative thing is that he's wrapped too tight. Literally. You can see his nuts. That overlooked, he is full of goodness and tries hard to please. What more could a woman want? My life is better when he's around. Al Mond is a joy.
when you'd complained that the grocery receipt included unneeded chocolate.
when you opened the 'fridge to discover a bag of your favorite truffles.
If he can, so can you!

TEAM PENSKE RESTORES ICONIC TRANSPORTER THAT DELIVERED FIRST INDIANAPOLIS 500 WIN
Posted by Steve Wittich on Wednesday, February 22nd 2017
MOORESVILLE, NC (February 20, 2017) – After an exhaustive restoration process, Team Penske has unveiled one of the most unique pieces of its history, a customized 1972 International Fleetstar truck known in the racing circles as "The Blue Hilton." The truck was one of the first known enclosed transporters used for racing purposes. It served the team in various capacities from 1972-1983. The restoration is complete down to the smallest detail, including authentic PPG paint and hand lettering just in time for Roger Penske's 80th birthday.
An iconic part of team history, the Blue Hilton transported the No. 66 McLaren that Mark Donohue drove to victory in the 1972 Indianapolis 500 – the first of Team Penske's record 16 wins in the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing." In conjunction with its sister transporter, "The White Hilton," it was used to transport the powerful, championship-winning Porsche 917s that dominated the landscape of the Can-Am Series in the early 1970s with George Follmer and Donohue before it was sold in 1983.
"After we confirmed that it was, in fact, the Blue Hilton that was for sale, I called Brian Hard (president of Penske Truck Leasing) and we agreed that we had to find a way to bring her back to life," said Team Penske President Tim Cindric. "This transporter was there when the foundation was laid for Team Penske and it is symbolic of the way in which we operate today. Everyone at PTL did an unbelievable job restoring this vehicle. I can't wait for Roger to see it in person, as it is something he will cherish."
The Blue Hilton helped change the landscape of auto racing, as it was the precursor to today's impressive closed transporters that carry cars, parts and equipment to race tracks all over the globe. With his keen engineering mind, Donohue – a 2016 inaugural Team Penske Hall of Fame inductee and the organization's first champion driver – designed the payload area of the truck based on efficiency and functionality. It was aptly named the Blue Hilton based on its royal blue exterior and the sleeper area above the cab, which is a standard feature in today's transporters.
With assistance from Morgan Corporation and a dedicated group led by Penske Truck Leasing's James Svaasand, Michael Klotz, and David Hall – along with Team Penske Historian Bernie King – it took over 8,000 man-hours to complete the Blue Hilton restoration process. Until Jerry Breon, a long-time Penske team member, located the sales listing in an automotive trade magazine in the fall of 2015, this historic vehicle was thought to have been scrapped. The truck was purchased from George Boyd of Urbana, Illinois, who had utilized it while competing in various racing series until retiring it to a spot on his property. He was the only owner of the truck after its days at Team Penske. After verification and removal from the Boyd property, the Blue Hilton was towed to the Penske Truck Leasing (PTL) Collision Center in Ft. Wayne, Indiana where the restoration began with the help of Donohue's original blueprints.
"When you talk with the crew members that drove and worked out of this transporter over those years, and you look at the photos from the many cars it carried, you see how the Blue Hilton was an integral part of our history," said Bernie King. "It's certainly very much a part of the Team Penske heritage. Everyone at Penske Truck Leasing that was involved did a fantastic job of restoring this truck to how it was when it ran and carried many of the team's winning cars."
Initially, the Blue Hilton will be on display at the Team Penske headquarters in Mooresville, NC, where fans can view it from the Fan Walk that runs the length of the massive shop floor.

Sri Lanka secures $480 million US grant a year after coup
Sri Lanka will accept a $480 million dollar grant from the US to improve infrastructure and traffic management, officials said Tuesday, after president Maithripala Sirisena withdrew his opposition.
"This is a great victory for the government and augurs well for the future," Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera said in a statement after the cabinet formally approved accepting the Millennium Challenge Corporation Grant.
The US had withheld the funds last year after Sirisena sacked his former ally, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, and called snap elections, prompting a constitutional standoff.
Sirisena's shock move — which followed a host of personality and political clashes since they formed a coalition in 2015 — was later ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, which restored Wickremesinghe's government.
But tensions between the two remained and Sirisena had resisted signing off on the funds, which the government had been banking on to improve traffic in the congested capital Colombo and its suburbs.
Sirisena is not a candidate at the November 16 presidential elections and must leave office as soon as a winner is elected.
Tourist hotspot Sri Lanka is heavily dependent on foreign aid and loans. Economic growth slowed to 1.8 percent in the last quarter of 2018 due to the political instability.
It took a further hit earlier this year after local jihadists carried out suicide bombings against three hotels and churches, killing at least 269 people.

Real property — whether it's a home, a family cabin or a commercial building — is a significant investment and, for most people, the single biggest asset they have. No matter what it represents to you, it is important to protect it by seeking out knowledgeable guidance and representation from an experienced attorney.
What is important to keep in mind with any type of real estate concern is that unless you have your own attorney, no one else involved can be relied on to protect your interests — not the broker, not the realtor, not the bank — no one. Considering what's at stake, talking to a lawyer beforehand only makes good sense. Lawyer Andrew Schmidt can help you to negotiate good terms, review proposed transactions or evaluate the issues you're faced with, and he can help you to determine the right course of action.
For answers to your questions about Wisconsin real estate law, contract for deed purchases or real estate conveyance options — call or contact us in Wausau and schedule a consultation. Weekend and evening times are available by appointment. We can also meet with you in your home, in a health care facility or in another setting, if necessary. Major credit cards are accepted.


This is still London, right?
October 11, 2010 in "South East", "Walks"
On a bit of a mission at the moment to find bits of greater London to go for daywalks, in order to maintain some level of walking fitness, and a modicum of sanity, before we get out for a proper 3 days worth in a couple of weeks. Our latest was a 9 miler (14km) from Coulsdon on the borders of London and Surrey, and took us up to Farthing Down, the Happy Valley and onto the North Downs way. The walk is listed here.
Farthing Down in full autumn sunshine. A bright and breezy hill 174m above the sea, with 360 views, and cattle grazing! - are you sure we're still in greater London?
A beautiful path on the east side of the down, through ancient yew trees, pale sunlight pouring through, the blackberries have gone over now.
Approaching the Happy Valley - Corporation of London owned land, bought for the health of an industrialised population to link with earlier purchases, from the 19th century on. Am I the only one who thinks this sign is funny?
The chalk downland of the Valley itself - definitely will be back in snow, maybe with the tent - plenty of places to hide out for a night here!
Later, and in the middle of a vast golf course with our bridlepath cutting a direct line through, we happened upon the old cemetery of Caterham Hospital. The principle asylum for Victorian South London is long gone, turned into flats and this monstrous idiot park for men with big sticks and little balls, but why would anyone want to carve an owl to watch over them, I wonder?
The owl in classic mythology is the symbol of Minerva, a romanisation of the Greek goddess Athena, the god of war, civilisation and wisdom. No contradictions there then. You'll find the symbol of the owl and Athena everywhere, if you start to look. The carving casts a beady, watchful eye on those restless spirits that died under lock and key. A lovely lunch spot, ladybirds in full effect, but slightly disturbing all the same.
Later still, a long path walled off at the back of some gardens, no right to roam here. This is a reminder of how life was when I was little, wandering over a local, derelict brickworks, my only, lonely bit of wilderness in the city, negotiating in-between spaces, the urban hinterlands, fenced off areas that have no purpose. I loved the brickworks, it was a refuge, now its a housing estate. Anthills, rubble, the smell of creosote and dog scent. There are many Eng-er-lands, and this is one.
a vein in the land.
Back past Chaldon Church (in the doomsday book, a famous painting inside) and home to make chutney.
This was a really fantastic long afternoon stroll, and I can't quite believe I lived so close to it for so long and never knew. I even worked in Coulsdon for a while as a teenager, but this passed me by. Not all that easy either, my legs are hurting today! Grand altogether, and accessible from town too.

The Olympic Test Event is in less than two months. We now know the draws and how the competition will go.
First of all, remember that this competition is crucial, for the boys but also for the girls, as it will allow a male gymnast to earn a spot at the Olympic Games and it will be the last chance for the female gymnasts to qualify a full team, which would be a first for our country.
Let's start with the boys. At last year's World Championships, the men's team placed 17th, meaning they wouldn't be allowed to send a full team at the Test Event or the Olympic Games. In April, two Belgian gymnasts will be sent and will try to earn a spot for Belgium at the Games.
We don't know the names of these gynasts yet, it is too early, but we know when and with whom they will compete at the Olympic Test Event. The male gymnasts will compete on April 16th in the 2nd subdivision (out of 3). They will compete with teams from France, Spain and Romania.
Our gymnasts will start on rings and will finish on pommel horse. Places are limited. 98 male gymnasts will compete at the Games. Once you've removed the gymnasts that will compete with their teams and the ones that qualified an individual spots thanks to their event finals at Worlds last year, there are more or less 30 spots left at the Test Event. No doubt our gymnasts can reach the top 30.
On the girls' side, as you already know, Belgium qualified a full team to the Test Event. The girls placed 11th in Glasgow last year. In Rio, they will have to place at least 4th (out of 8 teams). Belgium will compete in the 4th and final subdivision with France on April 17th. On a positive note, they won't have to wait to know the results and if they qualified a full team.
Belgium will start on vault and will finish on floor exercise. The competition will be tough, as teams from Romania, France, Germany, Brazil, Australia but also from Switzerland and Korea will compete against Belgium.

New $50 million hotel in South Melbourne to be an Ovolo
Yan Zhuang
The new 100-room hotel in South Melbourne will be run by the Ovolo group.
Hong Kong designer hotel operator Ovolo has been appointed to manage Perri Project's $50 million South Melbourne hotel.
Ovolo will bring its "effortless living" ethos to the 100 room, six-storey luxury hotel. Think conveniently located powerpoints and Ovolo's trademark freebies such as free minibars, snacks and happy hour.
Located at 183-199 Moray Street, Perri Projects acquired the initial 700-square-metre site in 2005 before adding two adjoining sites over the following years.
The hotel is part of a boom in Melbourne, with 11,576 new rooms currently approved or under development.
Construction will begin this year, with the site to open in 2020. The "mixed use" precinct will include destination bars and restaurants, and leisure, event and function facilities.
The project is part of an anticipated boost to Melbourne's hotel numbers in the next few years.
Three thousand new hotel rooms were created in Melbourne between June 2015 and 2018, but the number of rooms is set to soar over the next five years. Developments totalling 11,576 new rooms are now under construction or have received planning approval in the city of Melbourne alone.
In particular, new properties from international hotel groups are on the rise. Melbourne's first Ritz Carlton will open in 2021 across the road from Southern Cross Station. Partnering with Hong Kong developers Far East Consortium, it will feature 263 luxury rooms and a 500-seat grand ballroom.
The Marriott's W Hotel, catering for a younger demographic, is set to launch in the CBD in 2020, and this year will see the opening of the Marriott's Element Melbourne Richmond Hotel and Thai-owned Shama Luxe Aurora in the CBD.
"International hotels are showing significant confidence in the Melbourne tourism market," says a Visit Victoria spokesperson.
David Scalzo, managing director of Perri Projects, says Ovolo's international track-record for delivering innovative, design-led destination hotel concepts that emphasise lifestyle aligned with Perri Projects' vision for the site.
The project represents Ovolo's first sole hotel management agreement. The private company owns and operates four hotels in Hong Kong and six in Australia.
Ovolo says it is looking to cater to South Melbourne's changing demographic of higher-end established housing and major commercial office buildings.
"The underlying demographic of South Melbourne has been evolving steadily as creative industries in particular look to take advantage of the central location and raw industrial edge the suburb has to offer," says Dave Baswal, COO and CFO of Ovolo Australia.
"But while the suburb is on the rise with those in the know, local hospitality amenity has not kept pace with this change and we believe Ovolo South Melbourne ... will be uniquely placed to provide a focal point for those local communities."

Woolworths has redeployed 40 team members to its store at The District Docklands to be specifically dedicated to helping pack and provide supplies for those in this area.
Woolworths Victoria State Manager, Andrew Hall said; "We're working hand in hand with the Victorian Government and our long-term community partners Foodbank and FareShare on the provision of meals, food and groceries to residents in public housing apartments.
"We hope these meals and essentials will offer some relief to residents in these uncertain times.
"FareShare's Melbourne Kitchen is now cooking up every vegetable they have available and are so very thankful for the urgent orders we have placed to replenish this stock and allow more meals to be prepared.

Q: Why is this Python 3 asyncio client sending the bytes only after the Python process is interrupted? Why is my client timing out at code line:
response = yield from asyncio.wait_for(reader.read(), timeout=3.0)
instead of getting a message back?
The server piece only registers it got a message from this client after the client times out and I actually issue a ctrl + d to kill the Python interpreter

client.py
@asyncio.coroutine
def test_connection(host, port):
    # Get the streams for the socket
    print('Starting client connection')
    reader, writer = yield from asyncio.open_connection(host, port)

    message = 'Test Message'.encode('ascii')

    # Start communication
    print('Sending message to {}:{} - {}'.format(host, port, message))
    writer.write(message)

    print('Waiting 3 sec for response...')
    response = yield from asyncio.wait_for(reader.read(), timeout=3.0)
    print('Got response: {}'.format(response.decode('ascii')))

    writer.close()

def run():
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    task = asyncio.async(test_connection())
    loop.run_until_complete(task)
    loop.close()

A: The problem is likely that you're calling reader.read() on the server-side (and also on the client-side), which will block until an EOF is sent from the server. But presumably you're not doing that - you're just sending some bytes over and keeping the connection open.
Instead, you need either to call readline() and make sure to append b'\n' to your mess payloads, call read with some size to limit the number of bytes you wait for, or call writer.write_eof() after writing your message payload, assuming you don't plan to use the writer anymore. Using readline() or write_eof are probably your safest options. Here's a complete example demonstrating using readline():
client.py
import asyncio

@asyncio.coroutine
def test_connection(host, port):
    # Get the streams for the socket
    print('Starting client connection')
    reader, writer = yield from asyncio.open_connection(host, port)

    message = 'Test Message\n'.encode('ascii')

    # Start communication
    print('Sending message to {}:{} - {}'.format(host, port, message))
    writer.write(message)

    print('Waiting 3 sec for response...')
    response = yield from asyncio.wait_for(reader.readline(), timeout=5.0)
    print('Got response: {}'.format(response.decode('ascii')))

    writer.close()

def run():
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    task = asyncio.async(test_connection('localhost', 5000))
    loop.run_until_complete(task)
    loop.close()

run()

server.py
import asyncio

@asyncio.coroutine
def got_connection(reader, writer):
    msg = yield from reader.readline()
    message = 'another Test Message\n'.encode('ascii')
    print('Sending message to {}:{} - {}'.format('localhost', 5000, message))
    writer.write(message)

def run():
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    server = loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.start_server(
                                        got_connection, 'localhost', 5000))
    loop.run_until_complete(server.wait_closed())
    loop.close()

run()

And here are the changes to use write_eof():
client.py
@asyncio.coroutine
def test_connection(host, port):
    # Get the streams for the socket
    print('Starting client connection')
    reader, writer = yield from asyncio.open_connection(host, port)

    message = 'Test Message'.encode('ascii')

    # Start communication
    print('Sending message to {}:{} - {}'.format(host, port, message))
    writer.write(message)
    writer.write_eof()

    print('Waiting 3 sec for response...')
    response = yield from asyncio.wait_for(reader.read(), timeout=5.0)
    print('Got response: {}'.format(response.decode('ascii')))

    writer.close()

server.py
@asyncio.coroutine
def got_connection(reader, writer):
    msg = yield from reader.read()
    message = 'another Test Message'.encode('ascii')
    print('Sending message to {}:{} - {}'.format('localhost', 5000, message))
    writer.write(message)
    writer.write_eof()

Starting in ice hockey as a center position, his transition to roller has been nothing short of exceptional. Aideen is present for every bit of practice he can be and even helps lead them. When asked what his favorite part of the game is he simply responded, "just playing." We are looking forward to seeing him grow as a player!
