Too late for this year for you, but I made an Italian-Jewish-style vegetable "lasagne" from Joan Nathan's Jewish cooking in America that uses soaked matzos to stand in for the pasta, so it's starch and vegetable all in one dish.

Sandra Levine replied to a topic in Announcements
I, too, have been away many years. As others have said, it is because of Steve, through eGullet, that I made many new acquaintances, some of whom have become real friends. Steve gave so much to so many people. He did not have a long life, but it was a rich one. My condolences to Ellen and PJ.
Listening to Sounds in Cooking

Risotto also tells you when it's done.
Hamantashen
Sandra Levine replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
I had the same problem -- The dough would expand and come apart. But, as you say, they were very flaky, tasty cookies. I like the rugelach dough much better, if I can just figure out how to hold them together. ← Be very careful not to overfill. After the hamantaschen are formed, and egg-washed, and on the cookie sheet, try putting the whole sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes of so before baking.
Marzipan v. Almond Paste
I think the difference between the two is the amount of sugar, marzipan having more than almond paste, but it could be the other way 'round. I think you could substitute, being mindful of any adjustments you may need to make on the basis of sweetness or, possibly, dryness.
A Voce: Andrew Carmellini goes Italian
Sandra Levine replied to a topic in New York: Dining
How about something along the lines of "What I'm drinking (fill in the blank) isn't in the price range you requested, but (fill in appropriate blank) would be. I don't see the point of trying to blame a service issue of upselling on the customer.
Most Prized Cookbook
Sandra Levine replied to a topic in Cookbooks & References
My mother made only one dish, but she meant to learn to cook, and she had a copy of The Settlement Cookbook, 25th ed., 1943, with recipes that she wrote out on little pieces of paper and stuck in the book. The only page that shows any sign of use is the one with the recipe for banana cake, her specialty.
Sandra Levine replied to a topic in The Daily Gullet
Is this the same website that eliminated off-topic chat? Oh, I see. It's the eGullet Literary Review, not the forums.
Blender recommendations
I've had a classic Waring with the four-lobed 1-qt. glass jar for over 20 years. A few months ago, it started screeching and I began to think about a replacement. One day, though, I turned it on without the jar in place and the motor sounded fine. I got a new jar and blade assembly et, voila -- everything old is new again. I still can't figure out what happened to the old jar, but it had something to do with the dishwasher.
Stuffed Squid Tubes
I chop up the tentacles and mix them with feta, bread crumbs, parsley and oregano. It's important to stuff very lightly, because the filling expands.
Battery Maritime Building / Foodie Paradise?
Thank you. The best part was finding the original plans at the Art Commission. They are among the most beautiful architectural drawings I've ever seen.
That would be a wonderful adaptive re-use of this building. FYI, I did much of the historic architectural research for the restoration of the building.
Stupidest regulation or law
In New York, beer can be sold in grocery stores and supermarkets, but not wine. Food cannot be sold in wine/liquor stores. What does the state have against a picnic?
The semiotics of the hot dog
Maybe in France, but in the U.S., they were served at the 1904 World's Fair. Nathan's opened its hot dog stand in Coney Island in 1916.
One more time on Kitchenaid mixers

I bought my K5A in 1977. It needed an adjustment once, but it's still going strong and I'm an enthusiastic baker.


text: 12.................................................THE FANTASITE decides to write a hunk of fiction, without first either consulting Jack Woodford to find out how it should be done, or reading Doc Smith to find out how it is done. This is a fictional autobiography of one Akkad Pseudoman, born in 1920, died in 2000. It details his life from the time he was born until he takes to his deathbed, bringing in mention of his versatile grandparents (of whom no one gives a good damn!) and his wonderful, ever-loving parents. It does not neglect his amazing inventions, which range from a life-saving device used by ships at sea to his giant electric gun which shoots his spaceship to the moon. All in all, it's utterly nauseating. During the course of the book our hero is set upon by ruffians, discovers a gold mine, takes a wife, loses her to kidnappers, builds an impregnable line around Switzerland to keep out the nasty invaders, endures a shipwreck, discourses philosophically, builds a giant gun and spaceship, rockets around the moon, and returns home to the ever-loving wife. All of which leaves you colder than a dead mackerel. We weep, and feel genuinely sorry for the suckers who paid three bucks a copy for the book. We found several copies on a local dime store remainder counter. Inasmuch as the book has a marvelous frontispiece in full color (space-ships at the moon) we do not regret the dime spent; in addition there are 15 other illustrations in the book proper, including such interesting subjects as: Grandfather Lazarus, a sparrow hawk, a broad-winged hawk, a motor-generator, some electric guns, the floor plan of an underground village, Mt. Popocatepetl, and finally some diagrams of their rocket ship. The book has a technical supplement and 13 more illustrations therein. The frontispiece is reproduced on the dust jacket. It will probably be worth a dime or so to you, if for nothing else than the pictures to look at. If, however, you feel you must read the book, skip the beginning and start at the bottom of page 239. There, as you begin to read, you will find the word: FINIS --------------------------------------------------------- -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- --------------------------------------------------------- DYNAMIC DREAM (A Sandmanuscript) By Phil Lehr The dream began abruptly. I was in FBI HQs. An investigator was showing me their library of detective magazines, which they kepy in file cabinets. Said many a story had helpt them solve a case. My eye caut a copy of Scientific Detective, the oldtime crime-cum-stf mag. I reacht for it to comment on it but could not find it. Instead I pickt out Dymanic Detective, a title I never heard of (in my dream--I bliev there is one in actuality). And it had a Paul cover! Of what, I cannot recall. But I turned to the interior & discovered it was a Gernsback publication, same format as Science & Invention, & I think dated 1923. This was cause for great excitement. An unnoen science fiction magazine discoverd! Hastily I scand the contents. There were about 6 storys, whose titles I clearly read, but cannot now remember. Except one: "Metropolis"! I recall reading part of an editorial, & there were these words in it: "...which, if it is published, will probably be called Scientifiction." I lookt for more copys but there were none. Then there was a break in the dream, I think, & when I took it up again I found myself with about 5 copys of DD in my hands. One of them containd an instalment of Cummings' "Man on the Meteor." The 5th one turnd into a small size Munsey mag, with neither detective nor stf storys, except one which was featured on the cover. On the cover it was called "The Vialent Ray". On the table of contents pg it was called "The Violet Ray". Where the story itself began it was called "The Violent Ray". I remember wondering how an indexer woud index the damn thing.

I strive to give you very useful, clear information that will enrich your life and relationships. Here is some of the feedback I've received about my work.
"When I've lost my way, Phyllis is the person on whom I most depend to help me find it. Her talent is the blessed mixture of intuition and foresight, coupled with deep spirituality and vast knowledge. I would not make an important decision without her never-failing guidance and support. I am blessed and grateful to have her in my life."
"Phyllis is extraordinarily gifted at what she does. Her sessions are jam-packed with valuable information. She has helped me successfully traverse many chapters of my life, both professionally and personally. Work with Phyllis, you will be happy you did."
"Phyllis is so much more than an astrologer. She is a healer, heart retriever and inspirational force of nature who uses astrology to guide you to greater wisdom, knowing and joy. Each session with her builds upon the last as she assists you to unfold to greater truths about yourself and the world around you. Don't miss an opportunity to work with her."
"I found my session with Phyllis to be enlightening, supportive, and fun. I gained a greater acceptance and yes, enjoyment of myself as a whole person. I saw new ways to direct and focus my talents and received the encouragement and inspiration to persevere with what is on-track for me. And bonus–Phyllis is delightful!"
"Phyllis' ability helps me to understand what is happening and why. Her sharp intuition and supportive approach create a safe environment to explore deep issues while she helps me to look for options to handle even the most difficult situations. Plus, Phyllis has a great sense of humor!"
"For my birthday, my friend gave me a consultation with Phyllis. It was the best present I've ever received! My conversation with Phyllis changed my life."
"I have been amazed at Phyllis' skill in counseling and teaching me about myself…"
"Every time I have a session with Phyllis the stars align and I feel a sense of clarity and purpose about what is going on my life and how things are progressing. I leave elated as I learn the bigger plan. She is absolutely masterful of being right on of what is happening and why. Phyllis is so gifted of seeing the whole picture of your life and with compassion explaining to you the patterns that are occurring. It never ceases to amaze me how accurate she is!"
"Phyllis is remarkable! Her astrological guidance and insight particularly as it relates to my children has been truly incredible. She "nailed" all of my children's personalities. I have referred friends and family and everyone has always been impressed."
"My sessions with Phyllis have taught me to relax into my life instead of fighting the events and transitions that are occurring for me. I've found it easier to roll with some very tough decisions over the years after consulting with her. I find myself listening to the recordings of them over and over again!"
"I have sought Phyllis's advice on an annual basis for the last twenty years and she has always been "spot on". She has been instrumental in helping me through good times as well as tough times. Phyllis is definitely my "go to" person when Saturn is kicking my rear end!"
"Man oh man, does she hit the nails on their respective heads."
"Phyllis has the rare ability to blend perfectly the clarity, succinctness, and kindness that makes speaking with her such a powerful experience. Each time I have a reading with her I not only discover new facets of my career and home, but also a deeper understanding of own self that makes this life even more delicious. Her professionalism is unmatched, and her guidance is invaluable."
"Phyllis has been my astrologer over the past 20 years. Her knowledge and credentials combined with intuitive insight have guided me through ups and downs in life – always offering options and suggestions for my growth and well being. I always enjoy our conversations – like talking to a friend who gives me honest and loving support."
"Until I met Astrologer Phyllis I always thought of astrology as entertainment — fun to dabble in, but not very useful in real life. That all changed five minutes into my first meeting with Phyllis. She gets right into the heart of your issues so you have a clear sense of where you're going and why. Phyllis is able to take her astonishing gift for looking into your stars and communicate it in a way that makes sense and helps you in the real world. She's not just my astrologer, after six years she's my resident therapist! I often look back on the notes I've taken during a reading and feel surprised all over again that she was able to see my own path so clearly. And she does it all with compassion and a terrific sense of humor."
"I have been going to Phyllis for years and her readings have been a great inspiration to me. Through thick and thin, her messages give me hope and courage to take on the day, week, or year. As I go forward I enjoy having her insight to help guide me and accompany me in my life."
"Phyllis has the extraordinary gift of sliding open the doors to numerous layers of consciousness, from the mundane to the Divine. In so doing, she invites you to places within yourself that have been elusive, difficult to navigate and harder still to traverse. In an exquisite alchemy of grace, gratitude and compassion, she illuminates the path to your own highest self and inspires you to want to become that person."
"Phyllis has a tremendous knowledge of astrology and is filled with pure enthusiasm for helping enhance her clients lives. I've worked with Phyllis for over 6 years and I plan on it being a life-long relationship. Phyllis has used her astrological knowledge as a general guideline to help me better navigate, build and achieve the life I want and deserve.
"Phyllis is such a talented teacher. Her astrology expertise results in some of the most helpful insight I have received in my life. If you haven't tuned in yet, you should."
"[Astrologer Phyllis's] webinar was just what I needed! The possibilities for the next 3 months feel endless. What a wonderful way to approach this next quarter!"
"The sign-by-sign handouts of what to expect alone are worth the price alone!"
"I was surprised at how much clear direction you packed into one hour! Very good material, well presented. Well done, Phyllis."
"I love your positive and uplifting focus."
"You're Every Sign! is a wonderful book from the heart. Even if you know nothing about astrology, this book makes it so easy to understand. And it's entertaining as well. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to you."
"Phyllis's book is a star among the stars. The uplifting keys found within its pages can assist anyone to better understand themselves and grow into the person they were meant to be."
"Our journey here is to know the True Self. This definitive and exciting book offers very useful and dynamic revelations to help us along the way to who we truly are! Enjoy!"
"You're Every Sign!'s descriptions are written with such clarity, simplicity, love and humor, that I found myself thinking, I couldn't have described myself better! I was even further impressed with the simple yet effective strategies Phyllis recommended for empowering myself in my work, relationships and spiritual life."
"Phyllis has so masterfully succeeded in bringing the spiritual aspect of astrology to life! Reading this book is a truly fun and enriching experience!"
"The advent of quantum physics implores us to reconsider all that we have come to believe about our physical and psychical worlds. You're Every Sign! offers us a rich tapestry of symbols and invisible forces from which we can ponder, in an enlightened way, the metapsychology of our human essence."

The State of Black Twitter in 2017
By: Anaïs Cooper-Hackman
Opinion, Pop Social
"What is Black Twitter? Shouldn't it just be considered… Twitter?"
My boyfriend asked me when I told him I was writing a blog on Twitter's most celebrated niche. And when he said that, it really got me thinking.
Has #BlackTwitter evolved to become the face of one of the world's most frequently updated social media platforms?
Black Twitter, never let ANYONE downplay our influence. ✨ pic.twitter.com/Wgtgt8gVKX
— issa snack. (@DillonJaden) February 11, 2017
It's no secret that black influence has played a major role in the development of American popular culture, and because social media is essentially a digital version of our physical world, black influence has shaped that sphere in equally impactful ways. African Americans have consistently driven the conversations that unfurl on social networking sites despite a lack of diversity in the boardrooms of the same sites they dominate. From HuffPo to South By, the attraction of Black Twitter has expanded past the bounds of social media. I mean, when you're described by Nielsen as "an influential cluster of users who consistently drive global trending topics and cultural conversations" you KNOW you've made it.
"what will you do to fix the national epidemic of hateration in this dancerie?" pic.twitter.com/jVDy3eJBCP
— deaux (@dstfelix) September 27, 2016
But what is the subculture we've come to know as Black Twitter and why is it so captivating to all people, not just people of color? Maya K. Francis says it best:
"Black Twitter is like a digital unfolding of cultural blackness. The stoop. The back tables in the cafeteria during lunch period. The corner. Ball courts. Barbershops. Church. Technology is reconstituting the traditions embedded in the history of black rhetoric. The anonymity of the Internet provided a new gathering space."
"I'll Knock You Into Next Week" have black mothers invented time travel? Details at 11. #ABCReports
— Dwight Mann (@Joe_Schmucc) August 27, 2013
In short, Twitter has created a new type of space for black people to connect and converse over shared experiences that are integral to their everyday lives. Although Black Twitter is responsible for popularizing Twitter phenomena such as the "flyout" and "story time," plus more viral memes than you probably realize, it's also the place where #BlackLivesMatter, #SandraBland and #JusticeForTrayvon were born.
It's a hotbed of internet culture but also a space for marginalized people to express solidarity and raise awareness of inequalities.
My favorite thing about 2017's biggest #BlackTwitter moment thus far is that it could've gone in the complete opposite direction, especially if you consider the social and political climate that has created an abundance of political correctness.
Back in the early days of January, Yahoo Finance confused the "b" and "n" keys while describing President Trump's desire to build a "bigger" Navy. Black Twitter ran with it and within a few short hours, #N****rNavy was a trending topic.

To appreciate Black Twitter, you don't necessarily have to be black. But you do have to have an understanding of what it's like to be black in America, what it's like to be raised in a black household, or at the very least, be invested in black popular culture. Themes related to the black experience are threaded throughout #BlackTwitter and if you cannot resonate then it's a lot like hanging out with a group of friends who speak strictly in inside jokes: completely isolating.
But hey, not everything is meant for you. So at the tail end of this Black History Month, if you do nothing else, take some time to delve into the depths of Black Twitter and appreciate the excellence that is black humor.

In her course Physics 1204: Physics of Music, Prof. Kathy Selby, physics, explains the mathematical relationships that help determine why some musical tunes are enjoyable and others are perceived as unpleasant.
"The amazing thing about our ears is that they take logarithms of the frequency ratios," Selby said. Sound waves enter the ear and are transformed into pitch. Every pitch has a certain frequency, and each frequency belongs to a specific logarithm.
Some people are more sensitive to pitch than others. Those with a good ear for intonations, or variations in pitch, are more precise at interpreting the logarithms, according to Selby. Essentially, their ears follow a strict mathematical formula.
Physics can also help explain the qualities of music that people most readily identify with, such as volume and appeal. While volume depends on the sound wave's strength – the stronger the sound wave, the louder a person perceives it– one's affinity for a sound depends on its frequency.
Musical appeal relies on the human hearing system's interpretation of frequency. Inside the ear, there is a thin, hair-covered tissue called the basilar membrane. The basilar membrane has a two part job: vibrate in response to sound waves entering the ear, and sort out the frequencies within those sound waves.
The vibration of hair cells on the basilar membrane triggers a nerve impulse that goes to the brain. The impulse signals the vibration's location on the basilar membrane. This identifies the frequency of the wave because different notes excite different hairs on the basilar membrane.
A pair of clean sounding notes do not excite the same hair cells on the basilar membrane. But when two frequencies' regions overlap, a person perceives a sort of grittiness or roughness in sound. For example, octaves are perceived as enjoyable, but adjacent notes on the piano keyboard sound ugly.
Though the course is primarily physics based, Selby compares music from different cultures, drawing attention to how music's pleasing quality is socialized. In the U.S., the major scale is interpreted as being happier than the minor scale according to Selby. However, this is purely a Western connotation, she said as the minor scale is not sad in Irish music.
"To Western ears they say it sounds mournful; this is a music of a people who suffered. But Irish people don't perceive it that way; they say, 'what a happy tune'," said Selby. Although cultural relationships between different tunes vary, the pleasantry of sound comes down to a mathematical ratio, Selby said.
"I think students, especially musicians, come away with a much wider angle view of what music is and how they relate to it after taking my course," she said.

Christian health care organization asks Latter-day Saints to reconcile their beliefs with 'historic Christianity'
By Liesl Nielsen, KSL.com | Updated - Sep. 18, 2019 at 4:11 p.m. | Posted - Sep. 18, 2019 at 8:20 a.m.

SALT LAKE CITY — Latter-day Saint Ryan Baker has been a member of Samaritan Ministries for about two years. Just a few days ago, the Christian health care organization told him he would need to reconcile his beliefs with "historic Christianity" in order to fulfill the requirements of remaining in the organization.
"As a community of Christians who help other Christians with their health care, our Guidelines require that all adult members are in agreement with Samaritan Ministries' Statement of Faith in order to be members," the Illinois-based organization said in an email to Baker.
The organization's statement of faith is grounded in the Bible, while Latter-day Saints "historically … affirm additional scriptures as authoritative," the letter continues. Those scriptures, as well as leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, have "denied at least some portion" of the organization's statement of faith, the letter adds.
Baker, a Utah native now living in Alaska, said when he joined the organization he promised to attend church regularly; abstain from drugs, alcohol and extramarital sex; and abide by other requirements, but he didn't recall any of his beliefs being contrary to the organization's — nor did anyone flag his admission application.
"Had I known, I wouldn't have voluntarily signed up. But we knew a lot of other LDS people who had been in it and never had an issue," he said.
Samaritan Ministries is a nonprofit health care organization that allows members to help each other with medical expenses instead of using traditional health insurance. Each month, the members send their "share" to other members who need to pay for health care. When a member is in need, they can contact the organization and receive help directly from others in the organization.
"They've been great," Baker said. "We feel like we've benefited from it, and we say we've benefited other people. We're happy to be a part of it. So we're a little taken aback by this."
Baker said he received a call Friday from one of Samaritan Ministries' "extremely diplomatic" pastoral care specialists tasked with contacting some Latter-day Saints involved in the organization. When Baker told him he wouldn't have time to talk while at work, the specialist sent him the letter detailing the theological differences between Latter-day Saints and the organization's statement of faith.
According to the letter, the Bible teaches that eternal life is a free gift granted by grace alone, while Latter-day Saints believe that, while resurrection is a free gift, exaltation is based on good "works" and adherence to commandments.
The statement of faith on the organization's website, however, only requires members to "believe that all people have sinned and fallen short of God's glory and can be saved from eternal death only through faith in Jesus Christ."
The letter also states that "Mormonism" does not accept "the triune God of the Bible" — the belief that God is three persons in one — but rather asserts that God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are three separate and unique beings.
"I am not ignorant of the traditional differences between my church and certain other Christian denominations regarding what the Bible actually teaches regarding the nature of the Godhead, or the Trinity, or the triune God, but I never imagined that those differences, which intelligent and devout Christians have been discussing for centuries, would be grounds for being deemed inconsistent with the statement of faith," Baker said.
"Are the differences … so significant that people whose conceptions of deity vary slightly can't cooperate in a practical and earthly endeavor such as sharing health care costs?"
Baker said he and his family would like to remain a part of the organization, and he hopes to help clarify what he says is a lack of understanding about the church and its beliefs.
"They provide wiggle room on certain areas, especially regarding tobacco use, but in this case, it seems like they want to take a very strict, hard line, definitionally, on what a Christian is," he said.
Samaritan Ministries declined an interview but sent KSL.com a brief statement that cited the "Affordable Care Act's requirement that members of health care sharing ministries share 'a common set of religious beliefs.'"
"Samaritan Ministries is a 501c3 not-for-profit Christian health care sharing ministry with over 80,000 Christian households across the country directly sharing each other's health care expenses for the glory of God. ... Samaritan members are required to sign a Christian Statement of Faith that outlines the Biblical beliefs of historic Christianity," the statement reads.
The letter Baker received encourages "anyone who is in fellowship with the LDS faith" to attend a "Biblical Christian" church and reflect on their ability to affirm the organization's statement of faith.
"If you genuinely affirm Samaritan's Statement of Faith and your church, ward, temple, or fellowship cannot, we kindly and sincerely ask how you are able to reconcile the LDS teachings with your Biblical, Christian confession with Samaritan Ministries," the letter reads.
Baker said he's grateful the organization has reached out instead of instantly expelling him and thinks they're trying to understand – though he's surprised it's an issue at all.
"The approach seemed a little heavy-handed," he said. "If they feel that they have to take steps to kick us out, then I'll let them take that step."
Following the publication of this article, Samaritan Ministries again contacted KSL.com with another brief statement:
"Samaritan Ministries has never removed any person from membership, nor will it, solely because of their church affiliation, if we have already accepted them into membership and they have signed our Statement of Faith and re-affirm it yearly. This is true for all Samaritan Ministries members."
The organization has not yet specified whether this will affect Latter-day Saints who apply to enter the organization in the future, neither have they specified whether there will be consequences for those who sign the statement of faith but remain active and profess belief in a church that has theological differences.
When asked whether he would reaffirm the organization's statement of faith, Baker said, "I would like to continue my participation with Samaritan, but I will not disavow in any way my allegiance to or membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
Baker said his beliefs are in accordance with the teachings of God in the Bible and, while he understands faithful Christians may disagree on the exact nature of the Godhead and that private organizations should have the right to set standards for membership, "it's wrong-headed and lamentable that this would be seen as too big a hurdle to overcome to work together in a practical matter such as sharing healthcare costs."

False Information: Supreme Court says Emeka Martins is fit to hold elective office
The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a suit filed against Rep. Emeka Martins, representing Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Federal Constituency alleging he supplied false and dishonest information on himself in his affidavits and documents given to INEC.
Delivering Judgment, a five-member panel of Justices led by Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour, dismissed the appeal and asked all parties to bear their costs.
Rhodes-Vivour, therefore, held that Martins is fit to hold any elective office of trust or be elected into the House of Representatives.
Nnanna Igbokwe, alleging that Martins submitted false information to INEC in Form CF 001, and on that basis, it ought not to have been fit and proper to run for the election.
He alleged that some of the documents of the Martins, bear Emeka Chinedu and in another breath, he is Emeka Chinedu Martins.
Speaking to newsmen after the judgment, Martins, said that the judiciary was the last hope for the common man.
He said that the day's judgment given by the apex court has given hope to the common man.
"I say this based on the judgment given today by the Supreme Court. I have witnessed with my eyes that the judiciary is truly independent and can't be influenced, and that is what we need in Nigeria.
"Today is a new dawn for me, and I'm happy that the matter has been dismissed," he added.
The Court of Appeal in the Owerri judicial division had delivered a judgment against Igbokwe) on May 11.
Mr Emeka Ozoani, counsel to Martins said, "the supreme court has approached the issues on the basis of the fourth alteration to the 1999 constitution, as amended, and inevitably came to the conclusion that the appellant's suit was caught up by the limitation law under section 285 sub section 9 of the fourth alteration and ultimately dismissed the appeal.
"What that means now is that we have to return to Imo to continue with the substantive post-election matters filled by the same Igbokwe against my client (Martins).
"The case ran all the way from the Federal High Court, the court of appeal and to the supreme court and has been laid to rest this morning". (NAN)

It Takes Reminders
I was listening to President Reagan's final interview in the White House with Tom Brokaw. The President was asked if he ever thought about people or memories of his past and how those events or people contributed to his path to the Oval Office. The President responded with, "I think it takes reminders". Then he recollected some events of his past, being grateful for even the unpleasant things because it all comes together to become our story.
The older we get the longer that chain of events becomes. Factors multiply and the combinations of possible outcomes become incalculable. I think about the "what ifs" as I recall those events that seemed meaningless at the time but realize now that they were pivotal to where I am today.
I came from a large Catholic family. My maternal grandfather was one of 19 siblings. My paternal great grandfather was one of 10 children. His father was among 15 siblings. Both my parents grew up in crowded houses; my father was one of 5 siblings and my mother of 6. I was born the 7th of 8 brothers and sisters. And none of these individual families had more than one mother. Tough ladies. Much respect.
In 1958 Pope Pius XII spoke of large families as "the most splendid flower-beds in the garden of the Church." He goes on to speak of many other large family benefits, obviously a proponent of procreation within the faith. This was in the 19th year of his papacy. And so, my parents had heard this kind of message all their lives, and it was around this glorification of large families that they had started their own family.
Not unlike today, a large family back then required financial resources and standard of living adjustments. My dad was employed as a railroad agent and my mother worked in the culinary field to supplement the family income. Both grew up during the Great Depression. They knew what it would take to make this all work out. They knew about sacrifice and the difference between need and want.
Sometimes I hear people suggest that they can't afford children. But, somehow, for as long as humans have been on earth, parents have found a way to afford the next generation. I think the formula is simple. It was demonstrated to me by my parents. It takes courage, and it requires an unwavering dedication to things greater than self. It's a life of virtue and honor.
I recall that all of us kids started earning money as soon as we could. Many of us started working in strawberry fields and other types of farms. We then moved on to working at local businesses such as grocery stores, hardware stores, and restaurants. It was our way of chipping in by earning our own money. It was also our training ground for how to be responsible adults. Everything we had was earned. We were grateful for it and proud.
No one in the family brought in a lot of money, but together we found a way. We also had a couple of large gardens from which we canned most of our vegetables for the year. During the spring we would forage for wild mushrooms and asparagus. We would pick apples, pears, and other fruit, which was canned as well in the fall. We would go fishing, not for sport, but for food. A couple of us would hunt, trap rabbits, or harvest game birds to help put food on the table. Having parents such as ours in those times helped us all understand the contributing value of a healthy work ethic. It never felt like we were in need. Credit to our parents who grew up during truly tough times and passed those lessons on to the next generation.
Obviously, we didn't have much disposable income for luxurious vacations outside of maybe a couple hundred miles from our home in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We visited family in Green Bay, Wisconsin, bunking with cousins, or at our uncle's cabin near Florence, Wisconsin on occasion. We also went on camping trips to nearby lakes during the summer and we would spend a few winter weekends at a tiny isolated cabin near the shore of Lake Superior.
We were a typical low-resourced blue collar Midwestern working family in a quiet little town just trying to do what we could to create a healthy and happy upbringing for our family and community. It was a wholesome way to grow up.
In some respects, we lived an isolated existence. With our limited exposure to the rest of the world, we were left to our imaginations or what we could find in books and magazines to inform us about life outside of our little town.
The imagery in my head of a desert was endless miles of hot, wavy sandscapes with maybe an oasis comprising a few palm trees to relieve a weary traveler from the burning sun.
"The West" was represented in the movies, windy and desolate landscapes of sage brush and craggy rocks with an occasional tumbleweed bouncing through a dusty wood plank town.
None of these places seemed nearly as compelling as the familiar plush green forests and peaceful surroundings we made home. It's no wonder our families, up until my generation, hadn't given much thought to the idea of moving away to live in other places. We already lived the good life in a great place.
One early summer, however, changed everything for me. I was in my teenage years. One of my older brothers was getting married in Wyoming. He had joined the military a few years earlier and was stationed in Utah where he met a young hairdresser who captured his heart. He finished his commitment in the military and they both moved to her hometown in Wyoming where they would start their new life together.
Weddings are a big deal for Catholics. We are obliged to partake in tradition. A scripted church wedding, family pictures, the wedding reception, dancing, music, gift giving, and a little celebratory drinking were all part of the occasion. Everyone would proudly dress up for the occasion and put on their best face. For us kids, it was one of the few times we were allowed to stay up late in a social setting with the adults and be given enough autonomy to make us feel more like grown-ups. We would see cousins we hadn't seen in a while and we would be introduced to a new branch of the family.
This wedding also meant that we would travel outside of Michigan and Wisconsin. That too was a big deal. My other two older siblings had been married in our hometown. This was going to be different. It was my first real experience of life beyond our little town. I was going to travel to and through places I had seen only in pictures or movies. It was all new, mysterious, and exciting.
During our trip we drove through the great planes. Along the way we crossed the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. We had only read about those rivers in schoolbooks. It was the first time I had seen such long, flat, and treeless terrain. Then we went through the Black Hills in South Dakota and saw Mount Rushmore, petrified forests, caverns and caves, and other tourist sites. We saw Devil's Tower in northern Wyoming. We took in our first site of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains. I couldn't take my eyes off those monstrous peaks in the distance. I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be surrounded by them. It was otherworldly for a kid who had never seen anything but the boreal forests of the Northwoods.
We spent several days in the high desert of Wyoming where the wedding was. There was a rock formation in Green River called Castle Rock. With its many strata layers and how it towered over the town was mesmerizing. I dreamed that one day I would climb up rocks like that one. I could only imagine the feeling of such an accomplishment and the views I would see from on top.
Little did I know that what I was seeing then I would later consider to be a mere warm-up exercise on my way to far greater heights within the wild places I would go. But this first site, that it was real and not a picture, lit a spark that would later turn into a flame, fanned by endless opportunity. I wanted to see and experience other places. I wanted to explore a much bigger world. The attraction was undeniable.
Fast forward over the past 40 years. I would experience several countries in Europe, the Near East, the ice caps of northern Greenland, atolls off the coast of India, Singapore, Japan, Hawaii, Guam, the Philippines, Mexico, Canada, and most of our United States. My feet would touch the waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, and Indian Oceans. My children would join me for a swim in the Mediterranean Sea, and I would walk along the shores of the Black, Adriatic, and Aegean Seas. I would wander nearly 200 miles along a path in the U.S. desert Southwest to realize all deserts are not Sahara-like as I once understood. My early attraction to far off places would become a reality.
After I settled with my own family in Colorado, I would climb those distant peaks I had seen and dreamed about many years earlier. I also spent a summer hiking 500 miles through the Colorado backcountry. In recent years I often found myself in an alpine valley surrounded by towering peaks as I had once imagined I would be, only the experience was even more astounding and indescribable than I had first imagined.
That little spark set off during that one road trip when I was young did indeed fan the flame of a deep adventurous spirit that has not yet fully burned. Neither do I sense any sign of it extinguishing any time soon.
All these places I've been would be far more diverse and wondrous than my once young mind could dream up, with more obstacles, challenges, and rewards than I could have possibly expected. Once again, nature would outdo my imagination. And still I continue to explore and push my personal boundaries. This story has not yet ended. It indeed takes reminders. We should pause along this path to be grateful that we are where we are because of all the small steps that led us here.

Over the last 20 to 30 years, privatisation has become a world-wide phenomenon. This article explores the rationale for and changing nature of privatisation. In particular, it draws attention to the range of definitions of "privatisation" and the differing views on its effectiveness in providing improved services to consumers. The main focus of the artide is a study of the privatisation of the Public Power Corporation (PPC) of Greece. Examines why and how it was privatised and discusses its future as a private enterprise. It shows that the structure and operation of the privatised PPC and the liberalisation of the Greek electricity market were, and will continue to be, determined principally by the EU's commitment to free market competition. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

With temperatures finally dropping, it's beginning to feel like fall and for avid kayaker Bob May of Pearl, that signals the start of some of the best kayaking weather of the year.
"To me, it's just fresher," May said. "Naturally, it's cooler.
"The air just seems better. The water is clearer. The sky is clearer at night. There isn't any haze. There aren't as many insects as you normally have."
One of the places he most enjoys paddling begins in Jackson's backyard.
"One of my favorites is from Jackson to Georgetown because I've done it so much," May said. "I know where my campsites are and there's a lot of stuff to see at all times.
"At Byram there's a shelf with lots of shells in it. Once you get south of Byram you're away from the roads and the noise."
Camping along the way is also more pleasant in fall and winter months for May.

"The sky is clearer," May said. "You get out there on a river away from everything and the sky just lights up.
"You can see the Milky Way and the stars and stuff. There's just millions and millions of stars. You're back to nature. Out there the only show you've got is the sky and a fire. There's just a beauty about camping on a river."
After crawling into a warm sleeping bag and listening to owls as he goes to sleep, May wakes up to the crisp air and sounds of morning with a fireside cup of coffee.
"It's nice to wake up in the morning with a cup of coffee," May said. "You hear the birds first. It's nice to hear the morning come to life."
The scenery is also more impressive in fall. Mississippi isn't known for spectacular color as the leaves change colors, but on the rivers it's different.
"You'll see thousands of trees, but then there's that one tree that stands out with vibrant color," May said. "When the water is still you'll get that reflection. You can take a picture and turn it upside down and it looks the same."
When trees lose their leaves, May said the views of wildlife are more frequent.
"As the leaves start coming off you can see back into the woods," May said. "You can see more wildlife than you normally see. You see more wildlife and fewer people."
Another place he enjoys kayaking in the fall is also near Jackson, but it doesn't involve camping out.
"For someone who wants to see some color, Pelahatchie Creek is a good place to go," May said. "You'll see some pretty colors in Pelahatchie Creek.
"It's easy access and it's flat water, so you're not fighting the current. I think that would be by far the easiest access for people to go."
Another favorite fall paddle for May is the Chickasawhay River.
"It has good access for the most part," May said. "You've got boat ramps at Enterprise, Stonewall, Quitman, Shubuta, and, of course, Waynesboro.
"It's real pretty. You don't see a lot of civilization when you get out there."
Coastal rivers such as Jourdan, Wolf, Biloxi, Pascagoula, Escatawpa and Tchoutacabouffa are also recommended by May.
"You've got some pretty foliage, but the biggest appeal is accessibility," May said. "They have a lot of boat ramps on the coast."
May carries plenty of food and water on his trips and dresses appropriately. He also carries rain gear and neoprene boots that fit over his shoes for getting in and out of his kayak.
He also stressed the importance of having dry clothing within reach. He keeps a change of clothes in a dry bag strapped on top of his kayak in the event he gets wet.
"I've done that several times," May said. "When I got wet I changed my clothes and went about my business."
More than anything, he stressed the importance of wearing a personal floatation device.
"I don't care how good of a swimmer you are," May said. "You always need to wear you're life jacket, especially when it's cold."

Die Herz-Jesu-Kirche, eigentlich Kirche zum Heiligsten Herzen Jesu (polnisch Kościół filialny pw. Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa) in Wilków Wielki (deutsch Groß Wilkau) in der polnischen Woiwodschaft Niederschlesien ist ein geschütztes Kulturdenkmal. Die ehemals evangelische Pfarrkirche ist heute katholische Filialkirche der Pfarrei St. Johannes der Täufer in Księginice Wielkie (Groß Kniegnitz).

Geschichte
Mit der Gründung von Groß Wilkau, das zum piastischen Herzogtum Brieg gehörte, dürfte auch der Bau einer ersten hölzernen Kirche erfolgt sein. Im Register des päpstlichen Nuntius Galbardus von 1335 wurde sie als ecclesia de Wilchow erwähnt. Seit ca. 1531 war sie evangelisch. Zur gleichen Zeit soll auch ein Neubau erfolgt sein. In der Reformationszeit behaupteten die Lutheraner, dass der evangelische Grundherr von Niemitz die Kirche gründete. Der katholische Pfarrer, der Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts in Groß Wilkau amtierte, widersprach, da sie schon vor der Reformation existierte und sich "darauf über 117 Jahre in den Händen der Kätzer" befand. 1696 wurde die Kirche den Protestanten weggenommen und 1707 restituiert. 1696 kam die Pfarrstelle an Johann Mathias Kubitz. Wegen besseren Auskommens bewarb sich der Pfarrer 1698 um die Adjungierung von Senitz. Dieses Vorhaben wurde vom General-Vikariat erfolgreich unterstützt. 1724 erhielt die Kirche einen neuen Turm, wozu der damalige Kollator von Tschirschky das Bauholz zur Verfügung stellte.

Unter der Amtszeit des Magisters Johann Christoph Rudolphi wurde eine neue Sakristei an die Kirche angebaut und 1761 im Inneren eine neue Loge angelegt. Am Kirchturm wurden 1768 Reparaturmaßnahmen durchgeführt. Die Kirchengemeinde gehörte im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert zum Kirchenkreis Nimptsch in der Kirchenprovinz Schlesien der evangelischen Landeskirche in Preußen. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts beschrieb man die Kirche als massiv, ebenso den Turm, in dem sich zwei Glocken befanden. Das Dach war mit Schindeln bedeckt. Zur evangelischen Parochie gehörten Groß Wilkau mit Neudeck und Quanzendorf. Die Pfarrei zählte 700 Seelen. Das Kirchenpatronat besaß der Rittmeister von Koschembahr. Der Pastor wurde besoldet durch den Widum, bestehend aus einer Hufe, einem kleinen Pfarrwald und einem Morgen zu Rothschloß gehörender Wiese. Seit 1833 waren für die Kirche zwei Kantoren und ein Organist tätig. Zur evangelischen Schule gehörten: Groß Wilkau, Quanzendorf und Neudeck sowie Kittelau, das zur Parochie Nimptsch gehörte. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurden Instandsetzungsmaßnahmen durchgeführt. Nach der Vertreibung der deutschen Bevölkerung wurde die Kirche für den katholischen Gottesdienst verwendet. Sie ist heute Filialkirche der Pfarrei St. Johannes der Täufer in Księginice Wielkie.

Beschreibung

Die aus Backstein bestehende Kirche ist einschiffig. Der östliche Chor ist mit einem Kreuzgewölbe versehen. Am Eingang der Westseite befindet sich ein massiver prismatischer Turm, der von einer Zwiebelkuppel mit einer sechseckigen Laterne bekrönt wird. An der Außenwand sind Epitaphien aus dem 16. und 17. Jahrhundert angebracht, ebenso an der ehemaligen Friedhofskapelle. Auf dem Friedhof befinden sich noch vereinzelt deutsche Grabsteine. Zu den liturgischen Gerätschaften der Kirche zählten ein weiß-silberner in Barockformen getriebener Kelch aus dem Jahre 1725 und für Abendmahlzwecke eine Weinflasche aus dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts mit den eingeschliffenen Symbolen der Kreuzigung. Im Kirchturm hing eine 76 cm große Glocke aus dem Jahre 1507 mit der Inschrift: anno domini mcccccvii o reg glorie veni cum pace.

All of them are found:

When linking a program, I get this error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_python-py35

So I am trying to build boost 1.69 from source, to support python 3.5.

/usr/bin/python2.7-config  /usr/bin/python3.5m      /usr/bin/python3.6m-config  /usr/bin/python-config

When I run bootstrap, it is detecting python 2.7

Regarded as a life-changing read by many readers, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne is a self-help book that embarks to motivate the reader about a universal paradigm about success that can be achieved though it remains hidden for most people. The book explores about unveiling this little secret which may transform how people look at things and lead them on to the road of success and true happiness.
According to the author, the book makes proper use of the 'law of attraction' and shows how positive thinking can open treasure trove of bountiful happiness, health and wealth. The book posits the law of attraction as a primeval law that completes the law of the universe (as well of our lives) through the process 'like attracts like'. The author is also of the view that as people think-and-feel, so do they send a corresponding frequency to the universe that in turn attracts events and circumstances of the same frequency. Hence, if one is always able to think positive and think right, naturally, one will obtain the best results always. In all this argument however, there is no scientific basis for the views expressed as to how such 'attraction' affect the biological and physical processes of the body.
In propounding these provocative views, the book highlights visualization and gratitude as the two major powerful processes that help people manifest their dreams and desires. Although hailed by many as the secret to good life and better living, the book has also attracted some serious criticism, with many claiming it to be a 'highly controversial' book.
Despite the controversy, in 2006 a film by the same name as the book was released. The Secret has sold over 19 million copies in less than a year's span and has been translated into 46 languages. And, even after a decade of its first publication, it is still regarded as a path-breaking work in the field of inspirational writings.
Rhonda Byrne, an Australian TV writer and producer, has made a name with her new thought books, The Secret, its sequel The Power, The Magic and The Hero. Byrne, in 2007 has also featured in the Time's list of 100 people who shape the world. She lives by the philosophy that one may achieve all desires, wishes and dreams if one truly believes in it.

Q: Boot records messed on dual boot (Win7 and Ubuntu) machine with SSD and HDD I have a Lenovo Ideapad y570 with two hard drives: SSD and normal HDD both managed by RapidDrive and Windows 7 pre-installed.
First, I have shrunk my 500 GB HDD a little bit to make some place for a Linux installation.
Then I installed Linux Mint 12 to it, also installed grub onto the drive (dev/sdb).
Installation program has not allowed me to install grub on sda. Then I replaced Linux Mint with Ubuntu 12.04 but installed grub onto the SSD (which is dev/sda and was the default-option).
After that I could boot into my Windows, only Ubuntu worked. So I did a research, and tried
rewriting mbr of Windows into sda1, reinstalling grub, replacing grub2 with grub-legacy, and now I think my partitions table are totally messed. Here is fdisk -l output:

I also can't mount any Windows partitions to recover data. And when I open gparted, the whole sda-disk appears unallocated and it states

can not have a partition outside the disk!

Also the end-sector address of /dev/sda2 confuses me. If I boot from the SSD, it throws some mbr error and won't boot, if I boot from the HDD, I only get the grub bash.
How do I restore the partition tables? I can boot only from a live-cd at the machine.


It looks like this forum is moderated by a fellow called Snowman but I have noticed that he or anyone from the xFunction team rarely if ever responds to questions. Is that because that is Excelsior policy to ignore questions or are people asking dump questions.
I like what I have seen of xFunction but the lack of response to any questions whatsoever is very worrisome. I have requested a phone call from Excelsior, called the Russian offices and posted questions here. None of these avenues have yielded a response. Is that how things work?
I bought this product and if the owner of the software cannot help me with a few basic questions then there is a problem. After buying!
I understand your concern but free support for xFunction is provided only if you encounter a defect in the product.
For other cases, please consult xFunction User's Guide and samples available in the xFunction installation directory.
The price of the single xFunction license does not cover support services (on the contrary, price of our Excelsior JET product includes one year of support and, as a result, it's more expensive).
As for xFunction, you may request for consulting services (hourly billed).


Brittany Ringersen and Tabytha Walters of Lighthouse Recovery Institute join us for a podcast to talk about life for women after leaving treatment for substance abuse or eating disorders. They talk about the special issues women in recovery face.
Gina Thorne: Hello everyone, this is Gina Thorne with Lakeview Health podcast series and I'm joined today with Brittany Ringersen, president and CEO of Lighthouse Recovery Institute, and Tabytha Walters, marketing and outreach coordinator. Welcome.
Brittany Ringersen and Tabytha Walters: Hi, thanks for having us.
Gina: We're really glad to have you here at Lakeview today and we're interested in hearing more about Lighthouse Recovery Institute, and Brittany, you started this program, so can you tell us a little bit about what motivated you to create the genesis of this recovery institute?
Brittany: Absolutely. So, we started about two and a half years ago, with sober living. I had been in South Florida for about three years at the time and noticed that there was a real need for quality transitional housing for women. There was a lot of options available, but they were either 150-bed halfway houses or there were a few women's houses, but some of them were owned by men, which I felt was a little strange. So we decided that instead of complaining about the lack of real resources that it would be time to start our own and make a difference. So we opened about two and a half years ago and we started with one house with four beds and it's just kind of grown from there. That was Opportunity Sober House.
Over the course of those two and a half years, we saw that after someone came out of residential treatment and was entering sober living, that a lot of these other issues were starting to come up. That they were sober, but not reaping all the rewards of being sober. That there were underlying issues, there were other things that they could do, kind of, to evolve their recovery a little bit more, which is what sparked the idea of forming Lighthouse Recovery Institute. Right now, we focus only on the continuum of care after they leave residential treatment. So we do intensive outpatient program, which is a gender-specific program for women, also located in Delray Beach. Our core program consists of substance abuse, trauma and eating disorders. We've found that that coupled with the sober living has really made more of an effective transition for women leaving the residential facility and continuing to stay sober on their path, you know, going back into independent living.
Gina: And it's true what you say about gender-specific sober living, in general. It's very hard to find good female-specific sober living. It's nice to see that you've birthed a program that's going to help support females after they leave treatment, that will sort of take care of them. So, Tabytha, can you tell us a little bit more about Lighthouse Recovery and what are some of its more unique characteristics?
Tabytha: Well, Lighthouse Recovery Institute, especially in Delray, is the only one of its kind, in regards to the fact that it gears specifically towards women and women issues, with eating disorders, with their trauma, with substance abuse. You know, being a woman in recovery, we feel differently, we go through things differently. That's what we wanted. That's what we wanted to have–you know, women empowering women–85 percent of our staff is all women. Most of them are in sobriety or in recovery themselves, from one thing or another, whether it's substance abuse or eating disorders. So they've been there. They know what it's like. They know how to talk to you from the standpoint of 'OK, I was there, let me tell you what to do next.' Instead of reading it out of a book and saying 'well, maybe we should try this.' It's different when you have somebody who's been in your shoes 'cause then I'm more inclined to listen.
We also have a staff that's very hands-on. Our clinician-to-client ratio is 1 to 5 right now, which means if a girl has an eyelash in her eye, we're going to know about it. You're not going to fall by the wayside. You're not going to fall through the cracks. We're going to know about it. We're going to be hands-on with you. We're going to walk you every step of the way. We're not going to let you go aside. We're not going to let you get lost. We always know what's going on and that's big for families as well.
You know, when kids come down, especially to Delray Beach, they don't know anything about Delray Beach; their parents want to know what's going on. We have our resources to be able to constantly be in contact with the families, keep them involved. That's actually one of the main things that most of our clinicians focus on is getting the family involved as well. Because they have a kid who comes and who got through treatment and they want to get back into life, but it's not the same kid, and it's not the same family member who went into treatment who's coming out. OK, so how do we make that work. And that's what we do. They focus on the families and the women issues and getting them involved and giving them a way to get back into life, instead of just dropping them in the middle of somewhere and saying 'go ahead and try it out.' No, let's give you the resources.
Gina: That's fantastic and again, what you're saying is, you recognize this is not an individual disease but a family disease. And that you know that if you're going to be sending your patient or client back to a home environment, you want it to be a healthy home environment where the family's had an opportunity to be exposed to what good recovery looks like. That again speaks to your uniqueness because I know that there's a lot of facilities that don't necessarily think about the family component. So that's really nice. I know, Brittany, you've been here once before and Tabytha, I think this is your first time visiting with us here at Lakeview in Jacksonville. Can you tell us a little bit about what your thoughts and impressions are of Lakeview?
Brittany: Lakeview's amazing. It's a really, really wonderful facility. It's beautiful and they have so many resources available to fit, really, any person that walks in the door, from the Christian track to the LGBT track, it's just wonderful. I mean, even the detox that you guys have here. When you walk in, the staff looks happy. They're very attentive to all of the patients that you have here. It's just like a very welcoming environment. I think that the expansion that Lakeview is doing speaks volumes to the success that you guys have. You know, when someone walks through here, they like to stay involved here. We had an opportunity to speak to a lot of the staff members yesterday and everybody seems really happy and it seems like everybody wants to be here, not that they have to be here. And being in a place where the staff has no problem to sit down, one on one, with a client and give them their experience, strength and hope, whether they're in recovery or not, just based upon what they believe is best–is something that speaks volumes because that kind of intimate kind of communication can't be found everywhere. It really can't. So I think that's what's really wonderful and that…it's just a wonderful, wonderful place and it's located in a really cool area. There's so much to do around here when they get out. I think that the facility is just great.
Gina: Thank you. Well, we're really excited about our partnership with Lighthouse Recovery Institute and it seems like we have a lot of similar philosophies, which I think will build very nicely on our females that discharge and head back out to the south area. We would love to be able to continue that partnership. If someone was listening today and they needed to access services from your program, how would they reach you?
Tabytha: Absolutely. So, our website is www.lighthouserecoveryinstitute.com and you can go on there and you can see all of our program information, meet our staff, meet us, get pictures of the facility, etc, etc. And for any information, you can just call us at 844-SOBER-WOMEN.


Born Apr. 10, 1864, in Glasgow; died Mar. 3, 1932, in Riga. Composer and pianist.
The son of the French musician C. Albert, Eugène d'Albert studied in London with the Austrian pianist E. Pauer. Later he studied with H. Richter in Vienna and with F. Liszt in Weimar. As a pianist he toured Europe and America and won recognition for his interpretation of Beethoven's works. He wrote 20 operas, the best known of which is The Valley (1905, the German Opera, Prague), in which he brought the principles of Italian verism to bear upon the German tradition. The music of Albert's operas is melodic and easy to follow. Among his other works are a symphony, two concerti for piano and orchestra, a concerto for cello and orchestra, symphonic overtures, two string quartets, piano transcriptions of Bach's organ works, and short vocal and piano pieces.
