California Dreaming: The NHL Takes It Back Outside
Don Smith/NHLI/Getty Images
On Saturday, they played a hockey game outdoors in California, and it says something about the evolution of the NHL that the whole thing didn't seem all that remarkable.
That's not supposed to be the case with these outdoor games, and it certainly wasn't the case last year when the league set up shop at Dodger Stadium. That game felt like something wholly unique, with beach volleyball and a marching band and a performance by Kiss, as hockey fans across the continent tuned in to find out whether the ice would melt. It didn't. In the end, it all came together perfectly.
This year's game, played in front of just more than 70,000 fans at Levi's Stadium, didn't carry that same first-time curiosity factor, and that may help explain why there seemed to be so little buzz about it. Heading into Saturday, there was as much focus on the standings as on the setting. This was perhaps the league's first outdoor game where the emphasis was firmly on the "game" part of the equation.
In the last decade, the state of California has won three Stanley Cups, one Presidents' Trophy, and two MVPs, all while serving up the best three-way rivalry in the sport. The state's teams have been so good for so long that fans around the league now warily eye their favorite team's schedule for the dreaded California Road Trip of Doom.
So when it comes to California hockey, there's an overwhelming temptation to ignore the past, because the present is just so much better. But you'd be missing out if you did, because the history of the NHL in California is rich and deep and completely ridiculous. And it was hard not to think about that on a Saturday night at a football stadium.
The L.A. Kings arrived in 1967 as part of the NHL's first wave of expansion, and they weren't very good. In the '70s, they were best known for helping to build the Canadiens' dynasty by continually giving their top draft picks to Sam Pollock. In the '80s, their main job was to be just competitive enough to occasionally make the powerhouse Oilers (and later Flames) break a sweat. And they looked ridiculous, wearing awful yellow and purple uniforms. If you squinted just right, it looked like Wayne Gretzky and friends were skating circles around a bunch of bruised bananas.1
That Gretzky guy turned out to be pretty important a few years later, when he was traded to the Kings in 1988. That move put the Kings on the map. They switched to modern-looking black and silver uniforms, and suddenly, almost overnight, the Los Angeles Kings were cool. But it was an L.A. cool, and in hockey, that's not a compliment. After all, you still had the B-list celebrities and Barry Melrose's mullet and that blue bandanna thing that Kelly Hrudey wore.
For most of their first four decades, the Kings were one big punch line. Two Stanley Cups later, nobody's laughing anymore.
The San Jose Sharks entered the league in 1991 as a quasi expansion team, part of a complicated split from the Minnesota North Stars that nobody really seemed to fully understand. They played in something called the Cow Palace, took to the ice by skating through a giant shark's head,2 and introduced the word "teal" to the hockey world's vocabulary.
They were also terrible. They finished dead last in each of their first two years, establishing a league record for most losses in a season in 1992-93. But they made the playoffs in 1994 and even won a round thanks to Chris Osgood's brain cramp. That would start a run of 17 playoff appearances in 20 years. They've won six division titles and had seven 100-point seasons.
They've also never lost a Stanley Cup final game, which sounds nice except that they've never won one either. That's the reputation the Sharks have forged over two decades: Year after year, they're good in the regular season and then find a way to fall apart in the playoffs.
And that brings us back to the Los Angeles Kings.
Until very recently, the Kings had spent the entire season desperately trying to look like a bad team and not fooling anyone.
When the matchup between the Sharks and Kings was announced last summer, it was projected as a grudge match between two of the league's elite teams. The Kings are the defending champions. The Sharks have been one of the league's top regular-season teams for more than a decade but just can't get over the hump in the playoffs, and in each of the last two years that hump has been the Kings. These were two very good teams that didn't like each other very much. That was the plan.
The first part of that plan hasn't really worked out. Both teams have struggled, and instead of Saturday's game being a showdown for top spot in the Pacific, it was a battle for the conference's final wild-card spot. Despite a six-game winning streak, the Kings went into the weekend having lost more games than they'd won.3 They've been chasing a playoff spot for most of the last few months. And yet nobody seems to want to count them out, because they've been down this road before in 2012 and 2014, and we know how that turned out. A few Stanley Cup rings will buy you some benefit of the doubt.
The Sharks do not get the benefit of the doubt, because they're the Sharks, and we'll get to that in a second. They went into the game holding down that final playoff spot, two points up on Los Angeles. But the Sharks were stumbling, having won just three of 10 games in February. There's a good chance there won't be room for both teams in the playoffs.
Of course, that just made the stakes feel higher, and on Friday, players on both teams kept coming back to the importance of blocking out all the hype and just getting those two precious points. That's standard talk for these outdoor games, but these guys sounded like they meant it. After all, the part about not liking each other still stands. In the last five seasons, no two teams have faced each other as often as the Kings and Sharks, and they rarely come out of those contests in good spirits.
"We've kind of developed a pretty good rivalry over the years," Sharks forward Tommy Wingels said. "You always want to knock off the team that's on top, and right now that's them. So every game we play them, we've developed a dislike for each other … but that's good."
That dislike didn't show itself much in the early stages on Saturday — for some reason, NHL players always seem to be on their best behavior in these showcase games — but as the game wore on, the intensity picked up. Post-whistle scrums became common, several involving John Scott looking like he wanted to punch anyone within arm's reach, which is to say everyone. If you wanted to win a game in this football stadium, you were going to have to fight for every yard.
The Kings came out strong and controlled much of the first period, perhaps enjoying some advantage from having played outdoors once before. They jumped out to the lead when Kyle Clifford tipped in Jake Muzzin's shot less than three minutes in. But as the period wore on, the Sharks seemed to find their legs, and they were rewarded with a minute left when Brent Burns seemed to surprise Jonathan Quick with a shot right off a faceoff.
Tied 1-1 after one period, the Sharks hadn't played well. But they survived.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but there's reason to think the San Jose Sharks may be broken, and that we can blame the Kings for breaking them.
When the Kings came back from a 3-0 series deficit to eliminate the Sharks in the first round of last year's playoffs, something inside the San Jose franchise seemed to snap. "As far as our year goes, our year started after we lost Game 7; it didn't just start in Game 1," said Sharks coach Todd McLellan after Friday's practice. "It started with a number of decisions we made as an organization."
Some of those decisions look questionable now. The team appeared to blame Joe Thornton, letting their longtime captain and franchise player twist in the wind of trade rumors and then stripping him of his C. They swore they'd rebuild, then barely did anything. They made us wait for the naming of a new captain, then didn't bother. On the eve of the season, they talked about emerging from that devastating playoff loss a tougher, better team. So far, they've been anything but.
In a twisted way, this could all work out for the Sharks. They've spent most of the past two decades playing the role of the favorites that can't quite get it done. Maybe this is the year they sneak into the playoffs as underdogs, are all but written off, and then find the kind of hot streak that some team always finds, usually against San Jose.
It could happen. But it looks like they'll have to go through the Kings to get there yet again, this time in the regular season.
All of which made it somehow fitting that Saturday's game started to increasingly feel like a playoff game, in style if not quite in atmosphere. The score stayed tied at 1-1 through a hard-fought second period, with space tight and scoring chances rare.
And after a strong Kings start, it was the Sharks' turn to control the play. After the game, McLellan said they made an intermission adjustment to focus on playing a north-south game through the neutral zone after realizing that the outdoor ice didn't allow for intricate passing. It worked, and the Sharks dominated long stretches. But it didn't translate into a goal. For the first 19 minutes of the second period, Quick turned San Jose's shooters away; in the final minute, his goalpost did the job against Logan Couture.
After two periods it was still tied 1-1, and you had your pick of narratives heading into the third. The Sharks had the chance to finally beat these Kings when it mattered. The Kings had a chance to twist the knife even further.
There's a third California team, of course: the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks have their own checkered history, one that starts off with a professional sports franchise being named after a children's movie and includes a fever-dream opening night ceremony featuring dancing mushroom men and a mascot named Iceman who was fired after one game. California hockey, man. It's always something.
The Ducks weren't involved in the weekend's festivities, but they loomed over it. The Ducks have spent most of the season pushing for the top spot in the league and have all but locked up first place in the Pacific. With the Sharks and Kings fighting for a possible wild-card spot, there's a good chance that one of these teams will face the Ducks in the first round.
That's some prize: Claw and scratch your way through the next 20 games or so, and you might get to face one of the best teams in the league in the first round. But hey, it's still the playoffs. What's the worst that could happen?
Oh, right. Sorry, Sharks fans.
The Ducks would have felt right at home as Saturday's tight game wore on, given their magical powers when it comes to one-goal games.4 As most hockey games tend to do, this one started to give off an unmistakable "next goal wins" feel.
Dwight King had the first chance to score that goal early, sent in alone on a short breakaway off a blown Sharks line change less than a minute in. But he slid it just wide, with Antti Niemi maybe getting just enough of a pad on it. That seemed to inspire the Sharks, who applied strong pressure over the next few minutes.
And then, disaster. All-Star defenseman Brent Burns coughed up the puck to Marian Gaborik in the neutral zone, sending him in on a partial break. With three Sharks closing in on him, Gaborik teed up a slap shot from the top of the circle and beat Niemi to give L.A. the lead.
The teams traded chances the rest of the way, with the Kings missing a few opportunities to expand the lead early and the Sharks coming on strong late. Couture just missed on a backhand chance in close, and Wingels nearly chipped in a rebound. The Sharks got Niemi out for an extra attacker for much of the final two minutes, but the Kings calmly held their ground, looking every bit like a team that's done this before.
There's actually one more Californian NHL team, or at least there was. They were based out of Oakland, they were called the Golden Seals, and they survived less than a decade before moving to Cleveland and then folding. The only thing most fans remember about them is that they sometimes wore white skates.
Look, I told you the NHL's history in California was weird. Let's never speak of the Golden Seals again.
After the game, a stream of disappointed players in the Sharks locker room5 tried to explain what it meant to lose to the Kings on a big stage, yet again.
"It hurts," Thornton said. "With this atmosphere you want to win and you want to leave this room happy. It was a good game. We just couldn't find the back of the net a second time."
"It's the truth when they say it's better when you win, because it sucks right now," Joe Pavelski said. "You want to push toward that second season, and right now we're not there."
For their part, the Kings seemed to treat the entire thing like just another day at the office.6 Coach Darryl Sutter said he'd enjoyed the weekend, but that he'd viewed the game as simply "a big division game and it was a road game. If you take any other approach, over the long haul you're not going to get the result you want."
The win pushed the Kings past not just San Jose but Calgary, too, all the way up into third place in the Pacific, while the Sharks dropped to 10th in the conference. And now we're waiting to see if Los Angeles can roll all the way to a repeat. And we're left wondering if these are still the same old Sharks.
In a state full of strange hockey history, we seem to have reached the default state between these two teams.
Then again, Saturday's silly diapers-and-shawls look probably had Kings fans begging for the old uniforms.
They brought it with them as part of Saturday's pregame festivities at Spectator Plaza, which was absolutely packed.
Although they're still well over .500, because the NHL standings are stupid.
Well, they would have felt at home right until the scoreboard found a guy in a Ducks jersey and the whole stadium united to boo him.
Well, the 49ers locker room, but we could pretend for a day.
After Friday's practices, the league allowed players to bring friends and family onto the ice, and most of the Sharks took the opportunity to skate with their kids and significant others. Barely any Kings bothered.

New Book: ANGELS OF ETERNITY
February 16, 2017	Adventure Novels	2248
As practiced, the warbrides pushed the pirates out of the way, back into the mob that flooded from the pirate side of the corridor and continued until they reached the back of it. The two women in front turned and began chopping at everything in their path. They turned and worked their way back the front of the gaggle of pirates.
Shakti estimated forty pirates on the other side, which was plenty for them to harvest. The corridor sprayed red as the warbrides sent blood everywhere. The pirate's armor was no match for the weapons wielded by the warbrides and soon their disorganized mob was in full retreat back down the corridor.
A THOUSAND CUTS: The Bizarre Underground World of Collectors and Dealers Who Saved the Movies
December 5, 2016	Film Collectors	1620
In some ways, A Thousand Cuts is a sequel to another book about film collectors, Land of a Thousand Balconies by Jack Stevenson, published in 2003. The other book came out when DVD's were supplanting film collecting and there were still plenty of video stores you could rent movies from every day. Now, the video stores have gone the way of the Drive-In. I count myself fortunate to have seen two forms of entertainment medium rise and fall. Everything can be found on the Internet these days and you can always order the special edition Blu-ray if you're really dedicated. Gone are the days when I had to see Animal House a third time to hear what Dean Wormer and Carmine were discussing because the laughter of the audience drowned out their conversation.
Year Zero: THE GOLDEN AMAZON by John Russel Fearn (Golden Amazon 1)
October 17, 2016	Adventure Novels	2081
The Golden Amazon by John Russel Fearn was introduced to the world in its second form in 1944. Although Wildside Press is publishing many of the books in this series, they started with book seven because it was decided this was the most appropriate book for a beginning. However, the real beginning of this series was with this first book. This is the secret origin of Violet Ray Brand, the Golden Amazon of fame. As has been said before. The first round of the Golden Amazon was in a series of planetary romances where she was a human woman of immense power raised in the jungles of Venus. Fearn decided to revamp it in 1944 as a whole pulp heroine. Therefore, that makes this book -6 if you mark them by the Wildside Press method.
The Holy Miracles of Saint Spy: SNOWDEN, directed by Oliver Stone
September 24, 2016	Spy Movies	2314
Snowden, directed by Hollywood stalwart director Oliver Stone, opened this week at a local theater called Movie Tavern. Movie Tavern is a big chain of restaurant themed movie theaters, which serves food while you watch the video projection film on the screen. The movie I saw was shown in a large theater with plenty of legroom. I caught the afternoon show while my car was being serviced at the dealer. From what I could tell, there were all of two other people in the audience besides me.
Tall Man With a Gun: LONGARM: U. S. MARSHALL
September 14, 2016	Adventure Novels	2255
Longarm is one of the first adult westerns that came on the scene in the late 1970's. By the 60's, the western novel was in a serious popularity decline due to the fading of the western TV show and other factors. I won't go into what those other factors were, whole books were written on the subject. Even today, it is hard to find a book section with "western" listed, at least in those bookstores that still remain. About ten years after the Euro-western movie proved there was still a market for horse operas, someone decided the genre needed a shot of Spanish fly and the adult western was born.
Living Legend: THE LAST BUFFOON by Len Levinson
September 9, 2016	Adventure Novels	2741
The Last Buffoon by Len Levinson chronicles the life of a paperback writer in the late 1970's. The writer is Levinson's alter ego, Alexander Frapkin, a middle-aged Jewish man who is in the process of losing his sanity as he fights book publishers who won't pay him, landlords who won't fix his apartment, drug dealers whom he owes money, and a lawyer who has a very definite interest in the author's love life.
She Walks Alone: SYBIL SUE BLUE by Rosel George Brown
September 8, 2016	crime novels	1837
Sibyl Sue Blue by Rosel George Brown is one of those books which defined the sixties. The latter half of the decade was famous for all manner of innovative science fiction and gave rise to the "new wave" of the genre. Rockets became fertility symbols and cigars spaceships. There were plenty of the old guard still banging away at the typewriters, but even Philip K Dick was working on overload to find out how Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
A Man in Darkness: THE SYMPATHIZER BY Viet Nguyen
August 15, 2016	Cold War	2424
The Sympathizer, by Viet Nguyen, is a new breed of noir novel, which academia is turning out these days. The author is a distinguished man of letters at in California, so I would expect nothing less from him. And he doesn't disappoint. This is the story of the Vietnam conflict told through the eyes of an undercover spy, a mole, a deep operative, a man without a name who is a metaphor for so much. Except that he can't seem to remember who he is.
The Mean Streets: THE FABULOUS CLIPJOINT by Frederic Brown
August 3, 2016	crime novels	2005
In The Fabulous Clipjoint, we see why Frederic Brown was one of the greatest short story writers and novelists of the 20th century.

Q: WPF printing looks like newspaper columns Background
I am having a bit of trouble printing with WPF. Let's say that I have a flow-control document that looks as follows.
My first page looks like this:
-- Page 1 --
1
2
3
4
5

My second page looks something like this:
-- Page 2 --
6
7
8
9
10

So, to make this more clear, here is what the contents of my flow-document actually look like:
-- Page 1 --
1
2
3
4
5

-- Page 2 --
6
7
8
9
10

Well, when I go and print. This is what the output looks like (on the 8.5x11 paper), or in other words I will get all of the following, being printed on a single page from left to right. The output is doing it like a newspaper when in fact all of my document items are just runs are simply sequential. So like... all of the following will appear on a single page.
-- Page 1 --     -- Page 2 --
1                6
2                7
3                8
4                9
5                10

Here is my source code for printing:
private void button_Print_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    IDocumentPaginatorSource s = null;
    FlowDocument fd = null;
    PrintDialog p = new PrintDialog();

    // specify the document
    fd = this.richTextBox_Contents.Document;
    s = fd;

    // print the document
    if (p.ShowDialog().Value == true)
    {
        p.PrintDocument(s.DocumentPaginator, "Contents");
    }
}

Question
So is there any way to stop this document from returning to new columns as it's being printed? And just print everything straight from top to bottom?

This chapter presents the composite materials applied to Water Current Turbine (WCT) hydrokinetic turbines. Here will be briefly described the features of these turbines, the fluid-dynamic behavior of the rotor, and its structure formed into a composite material. From the structural viewpoint an advanced composite material formulation that allows an appropriate structural design is introduced. The generalized composite formulations here introduced take into account the nonlinear mechanical behavior of the component materials (matrix and fiber), as the local behavior of plasticity and damage, its anisotropy, the fiber matrix debonding, its material composition via a general mixing theory, and also the homogenized structural damage index definition.


Reinventing your business and managing its current state are "two fundamentally different management challenges." Why? Tomorrow versus today inherently involves competition for resources (i.e., people, time and money) needed to do both jobs. Also, the rewards of the future are question marks while financial results show the rewards of the present.
Box 1 — Maximize core-business efficiency by emphasizing "smarter, faster and cheaper." At the same time, address near-term customer needs by introducing innovations that "extend the brand and/or improve product offerings." Doing both allows people to explore the how of creating "new." The exploration increases their comfort level with respect to making change happen, which promotes continuous improvement.
Box 2 — Take a hard look at how you do business and question its relevancy in terms of where the business should be headed. While it can involve pruning businesses, it must also look at processes, practices, attitudes, etc., that thwart change. Some tough calls will have to be made — but these free many of the resources you'll need to move forward.
Box 3 – Look for "weak signals that could transform your industry." These may involve changes in customer demographics, technology, distribution channels, potential competition and regulatory environment. Also look for clues in things that disrupted other industries. With this information in hand, begin making small bets, which allow for testing assumptions while hedging risk.
Some bets will pay off financially; others won't. Regardless of financial outcome, all bets provide if-then insight into making larger bets in the future.
Govindarajan drew his three boxes from Hindu philosophy which believes that "creation-preservation-destruction is a continuous cycle without a beginning or an end." By keeping the cycle in mind, the process of constantly questioning what should be in each box becomes ingrained in an organization's culture.
Most people believe negotiating pits one side against another. As adversaries, the parties try to "win" because winning provides a measuring stick for success. When deadlocked, no one wins and each blames the other for the impasse to save face.
Malhotra sees negotiation from a different perspective — the human-interaction view. It's the way people work as partners to resolve their differences relating to a common issue. The "we're partners" approach begins with properly framing the issue. "The frame that takes hold will shape how negotiators make decisions, evaluate options and decide what is acceptable." The message: Control the initial frame and you'll control the process of the negotiation.
Framing requires both homework and adaptability. The homework involves educated guessing about what the other party wants to accomplish. The adaptability involves how to appeal to the other. There are multiple ways/combinations of ways to frame the issue including: financial, strategic, short term, long term and terms of previous deals. If the other party has read this book, reframing may be required to create the process and/or resolve sticking points.
The process should always focus one "forward momentum." What's that? It's "the deliberate, gradual process toward eliminating obstacles and creating the conditions that might eventually lead to a successful outcome." Note Malhotra's use of "gradual"; he believes a low bar for progress on individual elements, while lengthening the process, leads to a high probability of achieving a 'problem-solved' final agreement.

I knew better but……I tried to save a buck. Bought a top shelf of Green Crack in the past & it was a really good Sativa (4 out of 5 stars). When i had this chance to pick up the bottom shelf of the strain i did so & needless to say i paid for it. High was short lived & the bud was a bit on the dry side. Always remember you get what you pay for in life.
Green crack is 1 of my ALL time favorite strains! 😍🤗 Go Green flower is PHENOMENAL! Grade A++! 😉 I'd HIGHLY recommend trying it, I used it day & night with no negative effects at all!


'Paradox of Lotus Sutra' is an avant garde surreal summer theme that throws light on this existing symbolism of 'The Lotus Flower' in context to the duality of human nature. Sutra is the thread that holds the cosmic, spiritual and physical elements together in juxtaposition with the geometric illusions that the Lotus creates - 'PadmaMaye'.
Reworking heritage Indian dressing and putting it in a contemporary mould has been at the core of the label. The collection is influenced by nature, landscape, Indian culture, architecture, geometry and tradition, yet it has a modern aristocratic feel about it. Each piece is iconic in itself, each piece has a story to tell. The menswear silhouettes compromise of long tunic shirts with asymmetrical hem, blazers and translucent overshirts with cowl in lightweight cotton, khadi cotton, silk and linen fabrics.

Setting the scene for the design year is the bi-annual Maison & Objet décor fair which started yesterday and runs until January 22. The fair has named German product and furniture designer Sebastian Herkner as its Designer of the Year. Though you may not have heard of the 37-year-old from Offenbach am Main, his output has been prolific having collaborated with Rosenthal, Moroso, Classicon, Thonet and Dedon among others.
Combining new technology with traditional craftsmanship Herkner has already received over 30 awards for his prowess. Having interned with Stella McCartney, Herkner credits her with his love of colour and authenticity. Detail-oriented, Herkner uses traditional materials such as ceramics, wood, marble and leather. His iconic "Bell" table for Classicon is particularly striking – a steel and brass platter nestled on a hand-blown glass base.

We start our day by picking you up at your accommodation in Reykjavik, in our modified super jeep. We drive east along the south coast of Iceland on our way to the beautiful valley of Thor. On this tour we stop at Seljalandsfoss which is a 60m high waterfall which you can take a walk behind.
We will then drive further into the valley to our next stop; Gigjokull glacier. Gigjokull is a glacier tongue stretching from the infamous glacier Eyjafjallajokull, the volcano which erupted in 2010 wreaking havoc all over Europe.
On our way to the bottom of the valley, we have to splash through many rivers and streams, giving us a chance to show you the reason for these big tires on our jeeps. Once we are in Thorsmork, you have the opportunity to take nice hikes around the area, and really drink in the beautiful unspoiled nature of Iceland.
This tour is suitable for everybody that wants to have an adventure and witness beautiful surroundings while you're at it.

For one, exploring off-beaten paths around the world. It was Italy's Umbria region, for instance, that Ripken and his wife Nancy first discovered the joys of Sagrantino – the grape of Sangrantino di Montefalco, ranked as an Italian DOCG (the country's highest quality classification. That was in 2012.
Mrs. Ripken was not surprised, soon after they returned home to Lodi, to find an order for Sagrantino cuttings on the ledgers. She's well aware of her husband's insatiable curiosity when it comes to viticulture: the Ripkens grow some 50 different grape varieties (only Rip seems to know exactly what, or where, they all are) in the 1,000 total acres of planted vineyards farmed by the family.
For Rip, such is life – always a road less travelled.
And now, the wait is over: We can report that the recently released 2015 Ripken Lodi Sagrantino ($26) is a medium bodied red wine of bright ruby color, moderate tannin and zingy red cherry aroma and flavors; its mild, palate freshening tartness suggesting cranberry or pomegranate.
Speaking of which: Another one of the Ripkens' latest, food-friendly releases is the 2015 Ripken Lodi Teroldego ($26) – a black skinned varietal of Northern Italy origins that, like the Sagrantino, comes across as moderately weighted and with zesty natural acidity; but a slightly deeper aroma of black cherry, hinting at cassis, a note of orange peel and trace of red licorice. While restrained, the Teroldego's tannin also has a little more grip than what is found in the Sagrantino – qualities indicative of the relative comfort level the Teroldego grape has found in the Lodi appellation.
In fact, according to Mr. Ripken, blending may be the solution for many Lodi growers deeply concerned with the current drop in demand for Zinfandel, which plays such a huge role in Lodi's winegrape industry. "A lot of wineries have been backing off on contracts, and instead will be coming in at the last minute with lowball prices for Zinfandel. My son-in-law Ben (Ben Kolber, who co-owns Lodi's KG Vineyard Management) is so good that 100% of our grapes are under contract, but other growers are not so lucky.
Undoubtedly something that, for Mr. Ripken, involves a bold move towards a road less travelled.

Q: WinUI3 Window -> ShowDialog I am trying to show the window as ShowDialog (same as WPF) in the WinUI3, but found that the currenly present method window.Activate() does not behave the same as ShowDialog().
1.) Is there any way to acheieve this in WinUI3, to show window as ShowDialog() (as in WPF).
2.) I tried to use the ContentDialog, but the limitation is that, I can only one dialog at a time. Suppose , A content dialog contains various input fields or other controls, Now If I want to pop up a messagedialog on top of that, I cannot acheive this, because a ContentDialog is already open.
Is there any way to show a MessageDialog in buttonclick event of ContentDialog.

A: There's an issue regarding to this. So for the moment, you can't create nested ContentDialogs.
As a workaround (for the moment), you can use the TeachingTip like this. Should be enough to show messages.

Commodities Oil
World's Top 10 Oil Exporters
By Craig Anthony
The number one exported product in the world is oil. In 2017, the commodity accounted for 4.3% of the global value of all exported products. That year, crude oil shipments in aggregate were worth $841.1 billion.
Below is a list of the top 10 oil exporting countries based on data for all of 2017. These countries account for two-thirds of total global oil exports.
1. Saudi Arabia
Officially known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the country of Saudi Arabia is the world's number one oil exporter and the country with the largest amount of oil reserves. Formed in 1932, the country was responsible for 15.9% of global oil exports in 2017, totaling $133.6 billion in value. The country is located on the Arab peninsula and is comparable in size to Alaska.
2. Russia
The massive, transcontinental country of Russia is the world's second-largest oil exporter. In 2017, Russia's oil exports accounted for 11.1% of global oil exports, exceeding a value of $93 billion. As a size comparison, Russia is twice as large as the entire United States.
Initially formed in 1932, Iraq is the world's third-largest exporter of oil. In 2017, Iraq exported $61.5 billion worth of the commodity, which accounts for 7.3% of global exports. Located in the Middle East, Iraq is comparable in size to California.
The northernmost nation in North America, Canada is the world's fourth-largest exporter of oil. In 2017, the country exported $54 billion worth of the commodity, or 6.4%. Due to the size of the Athabasca oil sands, it is estimated that Canada has more than 10% of the world's oil reserves.
5. United Arab Emirates
Number five on the list is the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Located on the Arabian peninsula, the UAE is approximately the size of South Carolina. In 2017, the UAE exported 5.9% of the world's total oil exports, accounting for $49.3 billion.
Iran is the second largest country by land area in the Middle East, and about twice the size of Texas. It is sixth on the list in 2017, exporting $40.1 billion worth of oil for a share of 4.8% of the global total.
7. Kuwait
Given its small size, it is impressive that the State of Kuwait is number seven on the list of the world's top oil exporters. The country, established in 1752 and located in the Arabian peninsula, is about the size of Connecticut. In 2017, the country exported $38.2 billion worth of oil, or 4.5% of the world's total.
The Federal Republic of Nigeria, located on the western bend of the African continent is the world's eighth-largest exporter of oil. The republic was declared in 1960 and has since become a nation with a $375.8 billion gross domestic product (GDP). Nigeria exported 3.9% of the world's total in 2017 with a value of $33 billion. Based on land size, the country is comparable to Texas.
9. Angola
The Republic of Angola, in the southern portion of Africa, is the world's ninth-largest oil exporter. About 3.6% of the world's 2017 oil exports came from Angola, and they had a value of $30.5 billion. The country gained its independence from Portugal in 1975. It is located in southern Africa and is comparable in size to Alaska.
10. Kazakhstan
The Republic of Kazakhstan in northern central Asia is the 10th-largest exporter of oil in the world. The nation was formed in December 1991 after gaining independence from the Soviet Union. Based on land size, it is about twice the size of Alaska. In 2017 (the latest full-year data available), the country was responsible for 3.2% of the world's oil exports, worth about $26.6 billion.

SID can throw kids off balance but there is help available to get them back on track.
As a baby, Gracie was terrified of swings, her father, Andrew Dod, recalls. In fact, Gracie feared all sorts of toys that swung, spun, or swirled. On those rare occasions when she mustered the courage to mount a toy or swing, she'd scream until rescued. As she grew, Gracie walked unsurely, often clutching for the security of something solid. "A curb was like a cliff," says her father now. As a toddler, Gracie hated sand. At the beach, she wouldn't walk in it no matter how much she wanted to reach the ocean.
With preschool came full-blown anxiety attacks. "Bad feelings" were how she described these sessions, which she tried to rid herself of by shaking her arms and stomping her feet.
Gracie is one of the growing numbers of children diagnosed with sensory integration disorder (SID), a concept developed in the 1970s by the late A. Jean Ayres, PhD, a psychologist and occupational therapist who researched the issue of sensory processing and motor planning problems in children with mental retardation, primarily. Ayres' work led to the development of a specialized theory, known as sensory integration, that guides some occupational and physical therapy treatment used with children who often have diagnoses such as autism, Asperger's, developmental coordination disorder, learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, and others, says Christine Achenbach, MED, OTR/L, BCP, fieldwork coordinator and instructor in the Occupational Therapy Department at Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, Penn. But children can also have sensory integration issues without other diagnoses, says Achenbach.
If your child exhibits some of these symptoms, Achenbach advises that you consult your child's pediatrician and/or teachers who can arrange for an evaluation by an occupational or physical therapist trained in sensory integration disorder. The evaluation usually consists of both standardized testing and observations of responses to sensory stimulation, posture, balance, coordination, and eye movements.
For most of us, sensory integration occurs automatically. The brain registers sensory information, and then responds to that information with the appropriate response from the five senses, as well as from our sense of balance and forces of gravity, explains Achenbach ("I'm thirsty, so I'll get a glass of water," for example). Children with sensory integration disorder don't have the ability to make those connections, Achenbach says. They also may be exceptionally sensitive to external stimuli (or conversely, may appear to "shut down" when there is too much stimulation).
"We all have some sensitivities," says Achenbach, "but they typically do not preclude our participation in daily routine." Children with SID, however, who have heightened sensitivities, will live in fear, for example, that mom will unexpectedly turn on the vacuum cleaner, or that the doorbell will ring.
Some children with SID are on the other end of the spectrum, Achenbach adds, and appear not to register any sensory information. They may not respond when their name is called, might not recognize that a car is rushing toward them, may not respond to painful stimuli.
Treatment for SID usually consists of occupational therapy, which focuses on providing the child with different sensory experiences and helping him or her get used to those experiences, says occupational therapist Leann Mendelsohn of Silver Spring, Md. For children who have problems with balance, for example, therapy sessions may start off by having them roll on the floor, then move on to a therapy ball, then eventually even to the swings.
"By giving a child with SID these sensory experiences, they'll learn what they feel like and how to adjust to them," says Mendelsohn. "It's about learning to strike a balance between sensory input and integration of that input."
Treatment for SID often looks like play therapy, says Marie Mancini, clinical supervisor of occupational therapy at Children's Therapy Center in Oakville, Conn. In therapy sessions, which generally last from three to six months, the occupational therapist will work with the child in an effort to elicit "adaptive responses" -- making eye contact, for example, or finding objects in a sandbox.
Occupational therapy for SID works best when it's reinforced at school and in the home, says Mancini, who is also SIPT-certified (sensory integration and praxis testing).
"Children with sensory integration disorder will always have some level of difficulty," says Mancini, "but with therapy, they learn ways to compensate."
Gracie Dod is proof of that, says her father. Now 11 years old and in the sixth grade, Gracie's struggles continue but occupational therapy, vision and listening therapy, counseling, and "endless familial support" have "tempered Gracie's challenges," says her father.

1017 — Application of Information-Technology in the Management of Patients with Diabetes Mellitus
Chou AF (University of Oklahoma) , Sutherland JM (Indianapolis VA- COE), McCoy K (Indianapolis VA- COE), Jones LE (Indianapolis VA- COE), Doebbeling BN (Indianapolis VA- COE)
The Institute of Medicine's Quality Chasm report identified 6 dimensions of information technology (IT) as critical components for quality improvement. VA has been a leader in the field for IT adoption and implementation. However, the utility of IT in chronic disease management has not been fully addressed. This study evaluates the impact of IT use on outcomes related to processes of care in managing patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).
A national sample of 2,438 VA clinicians was surveyed to rate the utility, availability, and effectiveness of IT tools on care and reported practices surrounding DM management. Factor analysis yielded an IT factor assessing the extent to which the hospital provided IT for computer-assisted decision support systems, computerized patient data, decision automation, on-line literature access, and electronic provider-to-provider communication. We employed multivariate models using a stepwise regression analysis with backward selection to estimate appropriate HbA1c, dilated fundoscopy exam (DFE), and urine protein checks performed as a function of availability of clinical reminders (CR), the IT factor, and frequency of feedback, controlling for provider demographic and practice characteristics.
Increased frequency of receiving feedback (p < 0.0001), availability of CR (p < 0.0001), and the IT factor (p < 0.0001) were positively associated with HbA1c checks. Appropriate DFE was positively related to increased frequency of receiving feedback (p < 0.0001), CR (p < 0.0001), and IT factor (p < 0.0001). Urine protein checks were positively associated with increased frequency of receiving feedback (p < 0.0001), CR (p < 0.0001), and IT factor (p = 0.0003).
These findings suggest that routine and regular feedback to providers, availability of CR, and computer-assisted tools facilitated appropriate management of DM.
IT supports rapid dissemination of information, and broad and immediate information access. IT encourages information sharing and use, integration of systems and functions, and linking with various environments. IT tools hold promise for facilitating decision-making and closing knowledge gaps between evidence-based and modal care for chronic disease management. Further understanding of IT's impact on care can identify conditions conducive to IT utilization, focus and refine efforts in IT implementation.

NWA Democrat-Gazette/Ben Goff MIDDLE MAN: Arkansas junior middle linebacker De'Jon "Scoota" Harris (8) prepares to tackle Texas A&M running back Kwame Etwi Saturday during the Razorbacks' 24-17 loss to the Aggies in the annual Southwest Classic at the Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
FAYETTEVILLE -- When Texas A&M started a drive with 3:16 remaining and a chance to put the game away, Arkansas offensive coordinator Joe Craddock began going over late-game scenarios with quarterback Ty Storey.
The defense, particularly linebackers De'Jon Harris and Dre Greenlaw, had given the Aggies (3-2, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) fits all day, and Craddock said he was sure the Razorbacks (1-4, 0-2) would get the ball back with chance to tie or win the game.
"There was no doubt that we were going to get the ball back," Craddock said. It was just a matter of how much time we were going to have."
Craddock's confidence paid off as the defense forced a punt. Although an interception ended Arkansas' hopes of winning, the late-game stop capped off another encouraging performance by the defense.
The toughest test of the season comes Saturday when top-ranked Alabama (5-0, 2-0) pays a visit. For the Razorbacks to have a chance, the linebackers will need to be even better -- and they've been good.
"I don't think there's any question that it's the best productivity I've been around," said John Chavis, Arkansas' defensive coordinator who also coached at Tennessee, LSU and Texas A&M. "I've been around some really good players, some great players. I really appreciate their effort and appreciate their leadership."
The effort from Harris and Greenlaw resulted in 29 tackles between them against Texas A&M. The former led the team with 16 total tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack, while the latter added 13 tackles and two interceptions.
"Me and Dre, we're the team captains," Harris said. "We have to have these types of games, just people looking up to us and getting the defense going."
Greenlaw's return from injury for a 34-3 loss to Auburn (4-1, 1-1) actually marked a positive turning point for the defense. The week before, North Texas (4-1, 0-1 Conference USA) gashed the Hogs for 376 yards. Against the Tigers, the Razorbacks held a run-oriented team to 91 yards on the ground. They held Texas A&M to 135 yards in the second half, including 25 yards in the third quarter.
Much of that lack of production can be attributed to Arkansas' linebackers, who came up big with key tackles in the final two quarters of play.
"I've got to go out there and give it all for my teammates," said Greenlaw, a senior. "We know our best is good enough."
As a sophomore, Greenlaw played only seven games a year after piling up 95 tackles as a true freshman. Harris had 37 tackles as a freshman in 2016, and his breakout sophomore season was a launching pad for this year.
"We build off each other with the energy," Harris said. "We get sacks and interceptions, and that gets us going."
Harris leads the SEC with 53 tackles, while Greenlaw is ninth despite missing two full games and three quarters against Eastern Illinois.
"There's experience there," said head coach Chad Morris. "There's a great tandem. There's something to be said (for how close they are). The guy right beside you -- you've played together for so long, you know what he's thinking."

Here at Cuming & Gillespie, one of Calgary's premier personal injury and medical malpractice law firms, we're dedicated to providing the best possible legal advice to our clients and the most useful information to the general public regarding personal injury and medical malpractice law. That includes keeping an eye on news stories that create headlines in our Calgary community, and helping to make sense of the details and the larger principles at play.
Though this story comes to us all the way from Halifax, the issues involved are very relevant to the citizens of Calgary. It involves an allegation of an incorrectly administered medication that may have contributed to the failure of a newly-transplanted kidney. Though already a complex case, the plaintiff's legal struggles are being further exacerbated by the inaccessibility of her medical information—several companies and healthcare providers are involved, and no one will acknowledge or deny that the medication was ever administered.
While most people in the Calgary area and throughout Canada receive excellent care from their medical providers, similar cases of wrongly administered medications leading to prolonged illness and injury are all too common. Here are three important takeaways from this medical malpractice case that everyone should be aware of.
Medication errors, including errors in administering the correct medicine, giving the wrong medicine, giving the wrong dosage, and interactions between medications, are a common cause of medical malpractice complaints. Just because they happen with relative frequency doesn't mean they shouldn't be taken seriously, though. If a medication error did indeed occur in this case, it nearly cost the patient her life and did cost her a kidney.
Because most people in Calgary never experience an incident of medical malpractice, they aren't always aware of how important their medical records can be in a medical malpractice case. While there's no guarantee in this case that immediately requesting a detailed copy of the records related to the patient's care would have preserved the evidence the patient is now seeking, it might have helped. You have the right to know exactly what care you received, and the sooner you obtain your medical records the better.
No matter what situation you're facing, and no matter what anyone else tells you, you are entitled to consult with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer if you suspect you have been the victim of negligence at the hands of a medical provider or institution. In this case, the patient is seeking information and/or compensation from a hospital and a nurse staffing company as well as at least two individual nurses directly involved in providing her care. It's a complex case with multiple entities involved, and the knowledge provided by a lawyer is all but required to pursue this case effectively.
If you believe you have been seriously injured as a result of medical malpractice, we urge you to contact a Calgary medical malpractice lawyer today.

Browse some of the letters and e-mails Kiddie Kare of Arizona has received from our satisfied clients. We want you, our potential client, to read some of the favorable comments our clients have said about us. This should help you choose us as your preferred child care facility!
We'd be happy to provide additional references upon request.
When my babysitter could not take care of my daughter anymore, I turned to the Yellow Pages and found the ad for Kiddie Kare daycare center.
My daughter was nine months at the time and she was my first baby. I was very nervous about leaving her at a daycare center. When I went in to sign up my daughter at Kiddie Kare, the staff was very polite and assured me that they will take very good care of my little girl. Everyday was hard leaving her at daycare, but when I saw how happy she was going there and how much the staff really cared about my little girl, it made it easier every day to take her. My daughter who is now turning six years old, still attends Kiddie Kare during school breaks and holidays, and she loves being there and now so does her little brother. My little boy started attending Kiddie Kare when he was three months old. He is always happy to be there and loves his teachers.
If it was not for the staff at Kiddie Kare, I would of not known that my little boy was having trouble with his developmental skills. When the staff at Kiddie Kare noticed that he was having trouble they set up a meeting to discuss his developmental problems and what types of solutions we can try to get him help. Thanks to the help of Kiddie Kare, my son now goes to OT therapy once a week and also has staff from First Things First and Southwest Human Development visit him at the daycare center to help with his developmental skills. I am so happy that I found Kiddie Kare.
We choose Kiddie Kare Child Care Center of Phoenix, AZ to enroll our 3 children, because the director & teachers are professional, caring, dedicated and communicate very well.
My three children have attended Kiddie Kare for over 7 years now and I have seen a tremendous improvement in their social skills and behavior.
The teachers help the children with their homework and they also teach the younger children how to write their names, the alphabet, and their colors. My youngest daughter always looks forward to see what new project she will be working on with her teacher! It means so much knowing that they are comfortable and happy when I leave them. The teachers at Kiddie Kare prepared my two older daughters to transition to kindergarten and when the time comes, I am very confident that my 3rd child will also be prepared for kindergarten. I highly recommend Kiddie Kare of Phoenix, AZ to any parent looking for a safe and secure daycare. Trust me; they will be in good hands.
Kiddie Kare has been a true blessing to my family and no other daycare center compares to this one!
My children have been going to Kiddie Kare #3 since 2004, when my youngest was just 6 months old. In the 6 1/2 years we have been there, some staff members have become like family. The teachers are very caring and attentive. They do fun and creative projects and programs. During the summer months, there are great field trips that the kids LOVE.
My children enjoy going to Kiddie Kare and I never have to worry when they are there. I know they are in safe hands.
My daughter has been going to Kiddie Kare since she has been 2 years old. She is now 10. Two months ago, I started bringing my two grandchildren. I am confident they will get the care they need.
Kiddie Kare has fabulous extended hours that I need for my crazy work schedule. They are open Saturday too. The owner is great. She has a good group of people working for her and they are very dedicated to the love and care of all the children.
When my daughter started public school, they provided transportation. They were also able to pick-up for all the school early dismissals. Quiet time is always set aside for the children to do their homework.
I would recommend Kiddie Kare to anyone.
I absolutely love Kiddie Kare. I have two boys that currently attend. My other son previously attended for a few years. They love it their, they wouldn't have it any other way. All of the staff at Kiddie Kare are very helpful, and always let me know about my children's needs. I'm able to work with ease knowing my children are safe and happy. Thank you Kiddie Kare for all that you do. I am very grateful with the affordable prices, and late hours. They work well with the hours I work.

BLACK-ISH STAR ANTHONY ANDERSON AND KENYA BARRIS
The newest-big-ticket addition to Netflix's lineup of television producers is creator of "Black-ish", Kenya Barris. He has signed an overall series deal that took effect on August 16 and will see him produce projects for Netflix through Khalabo Ink Society, which is his production company. This comes just weeks after exiting ABC.
Cindy Holland, vice president, original content at Netflix, said in a press release, "Kenya Barris is one of our great modern storytellers. Kenya uses his voice to make audiences more aware of the world around them, while simultaneously making them laugh. His honesty, comedic brilliance and singular point of view, combined with the creative freedom he will enjoy at Netflix, promises to create powerful new stories for all our members around the world."
Barris won a Peabody Award after the airing of black-ish and he has also co-written Girls Trip, which turned out to be an extremely profitable movie. Black-ish stars Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross, a story that focuses on an upper-middle class African-American family. He is also the creator of black-ish's spinoff series grown-ish, which brings attention to the current issues surrounding students and administrators in higher education. He is also working on a sequel to Coming to America and the reboot of Shaft.
"When my agents reached out to me about this little garage startup called Netflix, I wasn't sure what to think. But after I talked to Ted and Cindy, I started to believe that maybe this mom-and-pop shop with only 130 million subscribers might just be something… so I decided to take a swing… a leap of faith if you will, and take a chance with the new kids on the block," Barris said in the release. He said that he entered into the deal because he believes that Netflix will allow him to tell more stories.
Variety reported on his exit from ABC, especially after an episode of Black-ish got shelved because of creative differences. The reports read, "Barris' departure from ABC Studios, where he was under an overall deal, became official last month. But according to insiders, his release from his ABC deal had been secured several months ago, and the basics of his new Netflix agreement had also been in place for some time. Barris' relationship with ABC began to show signs of strain in March when Variety reported that the network had indefinitely shelved an episode of "Black-ish" that he wrote and directed, titled "Please, Baby, Please," which touched on current events, including controversy over athletes kneeling during performances of the national anthem. Barris told Variety at the time, "Given our creative differences, neither ABC nor I were happy with the direction of the episode and mutually agreed not to air it."
Netflix said, "Barris has continually demonstrated his ability to tell stories about the Black experience that resonate with all audiences. With an innate sense for what is funny, truthful and timely, Barris will continue to create stories that reflect culture through an urban, youth and female focused lens."

The impact of feminism on adult education publications: An analysis of British and American journals
Elisabeth Hayes
Feminism has potentially important implications for adult education scholarship yet the actual influence of feminism has not previously been assessed in a comprehensive manner. This study sought to determine the extent to which selected adult education publications have been receptive to feminist perspectives. Major research objectives included: (1) to analyse trends in the inclusion of women and gender differences as central topics in adult education journals; and (2) to assess, through content analysis, the treatment of women and gender differences in journal articles not primarily focused on women or gender differences. A secondary objective was to compare trends in British and American publications. Four major adult education journals were analysed for trends from 1966-88; six journals were subject to a more detailed content analysis of publications in 1987-88. Findings indicate that only one journal, Adult Education (British), showed an identifiable increase in articles on women and gender for the 23-year trend analysis. The content analysis revealed that general articles in all journals showed few signs of feminist influence. Factors that might inhibit the integration of feminist perspectives into adult education publications are discussed.

CRASH HORROR
Henry Ruggs III boasted he is a 'rarity' who 'can't be flagged down' in last posts before star 'killed one in crash'
Amelia Beltrao
RAIDERS star Henry Ruggs III boasted in an Instagram post he "can't be flagged down" - just days before his DUI crash killed a 23-year-old woman.
The 22-year-old was driving under the influence in the Spring Valley area of Las Vegas on Tuesday at 3:30am, when his Corvette slammed into the back of a Toyota RAV4 - causing the car to burst into flames.

The Las Vegas Police Department have announced the NFL star will be charged with DUI resulting in death, after the crash killed the victim, who is yet to be named, and seriously injured Ruggs' girlfriend Kiara Washington.
Probation is not an option in Nevada for a conviction on that charge - meaning Ruggs could face a possible sentence of two to 20 years in prison.
Just a few days earlier on October 25, Ruggs posted on Instagram an image of himself on the field with the caption "Can't be flagged down I'm the move".
People have since returned to the post to leave comments in relation to the incident, with one commenting: "this caption didn't age well".
A second user said: "But you got flagged for DUI manslaughter."
"Helmets to handcuffs", said another.
Less than 24 hours after he was charged with DUI, The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Twitter they had released the wide receiver.

They also responded to the accident with a statement on social media saying: "The Raiders are aware of an accident involving Henry Ruggs III that occurred this morning in Las Vegas.
"We are devastated by the loss of life and our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim's family. We are in the process of gathering information and will have no further comment at this time."
Ruggs from Alabama is known for "religiously" giving a three-finger salute to his late friend Roderic Scott after every touchdown, according to the Montgomery Advertiser.
Scott lost his life in a car accident at the age of 17.

At 8:20 p.m. Wednesday evening on the Esplanade, a bolt of lightning over the DCR Hatch Shell put a premature end to the Boston Landmarks Orchestra's final performance of the season. The BLO has been plagued by inclement weather all summer, but it was a particular shame not to be able to finish this concert, which was set to conclude with Michael Gandolfi's new "Chesapeake: Summer of 1814."
The focal point of the imaginative program, conceived by BLO music director Christopher Wilkins, was the bicentennial of "The Star-Spangled Banner," which Francis Scott Key wrote in 1814. Dudley Buck's 1879 "Festival Overture on the American National Air" opened the evening, a truly festive piece from 1879 that begins with a splashy polonaise before introducing as its surprise second subject the "Star-Spangled Banner" melody. For the upbeat finale, Wilkins turned to face the audience, prompting everyone to stand as members of the 25th Marine Regiment from Fort Devens paraded the colors.
Next came two Beethoven works that premiered in 1814, the Overture to "Fidelio" and Symphony No. 8. "Fidelio" is an opera about liberation from tyranny (Europe was still defending itself from Napoleon in 1814), so it fit the patriotic theme. So, in a way, did the underrated Symphony No. 8, with its martial outbursts and pastoral beauties. Wilkins delivered robust, extroverted performances, but he also brought out the humor of the symphony's metronome-parody second movement and heavy-footed-minuet third.
Wilkins had advised everyone at the beginning of the evening that the intermission would be just 10 minutes. When the orchestra reassembled, at 8 p.m., he announced that Charles Ives's "Variations on 'America,' " which had been scheduled to open the program's second half, would be omitted in an attempt to get the Gandolfi in before the weather worsened.
Written for double chorus and orchestra, "Chesapeake: Summer of 1814" is a musical retelling of the War of 1812. At its 2013 premiere by the Reno Philharmonic, video projections keyed the music; here, the distinguished local actor Will Lyman provided a running narrative.
As the British won the Battle of Bladensburg and then marched on Washington, the Boston Landmarks One City Chamber Choir sang "Rule Britannia"; Dolley Madison's rescue of the Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington was accompanied by "Mrs. Madison's Minuet" and then "See the Conquering Hero Comes," from Handel's "Judas Maccabeus." But before the choir could sing "Yankee Doodle," representing the defense of Baltimore, and the audience could stand to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner," that lightning bolt exploded like a rocket's red glare. Even as the crowd packed up and left, though, Old Glory still waved proudly over the Esplanade.
