Download Westbam
Born: 04 March 1965
Releases: 97
The leader of Germany's house and techno scene since his beginning early in the 1980s, Westbam recorded several house/rave crossover hits during the late '80s and early '90s but is renowned for his founding of the Mayday Festival and the Love Parade, the latter of which routinely drew hundreds of thousands of club-goers into the streets of Berlin on an annual basis. Born in Münster, Maximilian Lenz began DJing in 1983 and became known as Westbam as a shortened version of his original nickname, which he received in honor of his place of birth (Westphalia) and his biggest musical influence (Afrika Bambaataa). He moved to Berlin in 1984, sticking to early industrial dance and hip-hop until American house music began crossing the Atlantic midway through the '80s. He had begun producing as well in 1985, and like many German dance figures, gradually moved from Chicago house to embrace the harder, more Teutonic sounds of Detroit techno during the late '80s. After founding his own Low Spirit Recordings in 1988, Westbam hit the German charts with his first single on the label, "Monkey Say Monkey Do." He made a surprise appearance at the 1988 Olympic Games in South Korea (representing his country as a cultural contribution) and charted during 1989 as well with the hits "And Party" and "The Roof Is on Fire." Also in 1989, Westbam released his debut album The Roof Is on Fire. To celebrate his surprising success, Westbam decided to organize an outdoor event which could, he hoped, bring the new dance music out of nightclubs and into the mainstream. Called the Love Parade, it debuted that year with under 500 people. Less than a decade later, the Love Parade would count more than 250,000 participants. Low Spirit Records had several hits during the early '90s, by acts Mark Oh and Marusha. Westbam released his second album, A Practising Maniac at Work, in 1991, and founded the Mayday Festival later that year. By the mid-'90s, long after most rave cash-ins had spun themselves out, Westbam was going back into straight-ahead techno and trance, with singles like 1994's "Celebration Generation" and "Bam Bam Bam" (the title track from his fourth album, which hit the German Top 20). For the tenth anniversary of Low Spirit Recordings, he released The Age of the DJ Mixer: 10 Years of Low Spirit, a compilation including several Westbam productions. Two 1997 singles, "Sonic Empire" and "Sunshine" hit the German singles charts (both were official anthems, for Mayday and Love Parade respectively) and prompted a new Westbam album, We'll Never Stop Living This Way, which entered the Top 40 of the German charts.

Passing the permit test is an important first step towards getting learners permit. Oregon, like most other states, requires that all young drivers go through a Graduated Driver's License Program (GDL) before they receive full driving privileges. The GDL is a multi-stage process that helps you to learn important driving skills while remaining under the supervision of a licensed driver. GDL programs have been shown to reduce accidents that occur due to a lack of experience on the road.
In this article, we will show you how to pass the Oregon permit test and finish the other stages of the GDL process so that you can go on to receive full driving privileges.
When you are 15 years old, you can apply for your Provisional Instruction Permit (or learner's permit) in the state of Oregon. You must first pass a written knowledge test (permit test), which will check your awareness of traffic law, signs and signals.
No one ever did well on a test without studying first, so if you want to pass the permit test on the first try, you will have to devote some time to preparing. We offer a free copy of the Oregon Driver's Manual for you to use in your studies. Be sure to read the entire book, and spend extra time on any subjects you are confused about.
Our Oregon practice permit test is one of the best-possible resources for study. It includes much of the same subject matter you will see on the real test, and taking it will increase your chances of doing well. It will also show you how prepared you are and help you avoid wasting your time failing a test you aren't ready for.
Your completed Driver License Application (your parent or guardian must sign).
Your Social Security card, birth certificate or other identifying documents.
Proof of your Oregon residency (school enrollment card, utility bill, bank statement).
$28.50 in testing and license fees.
At this point, you will be given the permit test. Try to stay calm and think about the information you studied. As long as you devoted plenty of time to preparing, you should do well. When you pass, you will be given a simple vision test, and your picture will be taken for your license.
While holding your Provisional Instruction Permit, you are required to complete 50 hours of supervised practice driving and a ODOT-approved traffic safety education course. If you would prefer to skip the course, you can do 100 hours of supervised practice driving instead. When you have finished these requirements, you can move on to the next stage in the GDL process.
When you are 16 years old, you have held your permit for at least six months, and you have completed your practice and education requirements, you are ready to take your behind-the-wheel driving test, safe driving practices test and another vision exam.
Proof that you completed your practice driving and/or ODOT-approved traffic class.
Your signed and completed Driver License Application.
$69 in testing and license fees.
At this point, you will be given a behind-the-wheel driving test and a safe driving practices test, both of which will determine how well you know the rules of the road. Stay calm and do your best. You have studied and practiced hard, and now your work will pay off. When you pass both tests, you will be given another vision exam. From there, you will be given your Provisional License.
Drive between midnight and 5 a.m. unless for work or school.
Drive with any unrelated passengers who are under the age of 20 (first six months).
Drive with more than three unrelated passengers who are under the age of 20 (second six months).
Drive without safety belts or with passengers who aren't wearing their safety belts.
When you are 17 years old and have held your Provisional License for a full year, the restrictions will be removed and you will be allowed to drive whenever and with whomever you choose. Congratulations! You are now a fully licensed driver.
If you want to skip the GDL process in Oregon, you will have to wait until you are 18 years old to apply. At that point, you will need to take all of the above-mentioned tests to be given an unrestricted license.

Algodon Wine Estates offers, apart from the excellent production of wines, an 18- hole golf course, a prizewinning restaurant which makes delicious gourmet dishes prepared with regional products; beautiful wine tours and wine tastings, and an elegant lodge with rural style that provides its guests with modern facilities and an outstanding service so that they can feel "at home".
Those who visit Algodon Wine Estates will enjoy unforgettable horse and bike rides, and hikes contemplating the wonderful views and natural scenery that the region offers.
The private gallery offers intimacy in the rest outdoors. The chimney that is found in each one of the environments gives heat and lukewarmness of the houses of long ago. The typical mendocino landscape penetrates in the gallery that surrounds the house, until arriving at the living room, rustic and intimate, with its traditional firewood. The library, the swimming pool with its solarium and the garden do summers be more fresh and hottest winters. The equilibrium between the natural thing and the present time permits, in this heavenly place, to be connected with the world through wireless Internet and satellite TV.
The exclusive lodge rooms are located in two 1921 farm houses that still have some of their original characteristics, such as adobe walls and cane roofs. "Antigua Casona" has three spacious suites with chimneys and beautiful galleries. The lodge "Nueva Casona" is only some metres away from "Antigua Casona". The former has been recently redesigned. Its 5 suites have been completely equipped and feature the greatest amenities that include: air conditioner, satellite TV, WiFi and central heating.
Algodon Wine Estates´ restaurant is another attraction which specializes in making the most delicious dishes prepared with regional products. Algodon Wine Estates´ restaurant is characterized by the use of horno de barro, an oven built with clay, and the asador, a big grill, as cooking methods.
The restaurant's countryside style and its gallery situated in front of the Golf's Driving Range create a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Its excellent service and the originality of its regional menu have been doubly awarded by the Great Wine Capitals for "the best winery restaurant" and "relevant wine experience".
With a incredible view of the region's vineyards, fruit plantations and Sierra Pintada as a background scenery, Algodon Wine Estates has a new and spectacular 18- hole, par 72 (7,410) golf course. There is a pro-shop where golfers can rent golf cars or buy golf clubs or accessories. The Driving Range is in front of the Clubhouse & Restaurant where golf can be played or simply golf classes can be taken with specialized teachers. This new golf course is a new challenge that every golfer should face.
Club House: Located among our hundred-year-old olive trees, the Clubhouse was constructed using a combination of wood, stone, straw, and reed, to give it a true feel of rustic antiquity. Our Clubhouse is home to our renowned restaurant as well as our golf shop. Here you will experience the convergence of three distinct worlds; haute cuisine, estate grown wine, and golf. Jurado's Golf Pro Shop offers the latest equipment and apparel, as well as club rentals. Our knowledgeable staff is always on hand to lend valuable advice regarding personalized fittings when purchasing new clubs.
Algodon Wine Estates´ guests will have the possibility to visit the winery and learn everything about wine's production. For those who wish to enjoy an interesting wine-tasting surrounded by the imposing scenery of the farm, the winery staff of professionals will be responsible of holding it.
Winery: The building of our winery commenced in October 2002 under the supervision of a team that included engineers, architects and enologists (specialists in wine making). The first section was completed during March of 2003. Located at the heart of the estate, the winery sits eight hundred meters (2624.7 feet) above sea level and overlooks the vineyards and golf course. The winery is 350 square meters (3767 square feet) and has a vat capacity of 150,000 liters.
The Elaboration and Conservation room lay at ground level, above an underground cave where the wine matures. We have designed our winery exclusively for the purpose of making world-class wines, but solely in limited quantities. This ensures our ability to implement all the care and attention necessary to obtain optimum results and the best product possible.
Our careful quality control begins with the grapes and continues throughout the entire process, all the way up to the labeling. Grapes are harvested by hand and collected in small buckets; the resultant wine then matures in French and American oak barrels.
Among our discriminative collection, we turn out micro wine production of the varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Bonarda, Blend Rose and our very special Grand Blend. Craftsmanship and tradition, combined with the latest technology, allow us to obtain only the highest quality of wines. Our wines can only be found in the local markets in limited quantities, exported exclusively to a few select vendors, and of course right here at our winery for our own distinguished guests.

5 people arrested and charged with first-degree murder
On behalf of The Foley Law Firm posted in Criminal Defense on Friday, April 14, 2017.
The most serious crime that any Colorado resident could be accused of is murder. When a murder happens, and a suspect is accused, that individual will want to secure the highest quality legal council available because if he or she loses the case, the individual could go to jail for life.
In a recent El Paso County case, five young adults were arrested on first-degree murder charges. Five others were also charged with crimes relating to the deaths. The arrests came after two teenagers were found dead last month close to the Pikes Peak International Raceway.
Authorities have yet to release how the victims died. Nor have they indicated what the motive was to kill them. What we do know is that the victims were teenagers aged 15 and 16. It's not likely that much information will be revealed any time soon as the judge has issued a gag order on the case proceedings. The judge also sealed the court documents. Criminal defense experts from El Paso County say that it is unusual that that the court documents would be sealed and gag orders issued.
The five suspects who have been charged with murder relating the deaths will appear in court on April 30. Each of them will have the right to an individualized criminal defense, and they will be able to choose their method of pleading. If they agree to plead guilty, they might be able to negotiate a plea bargain for a reduced punishment. However, if evidence against any of them is not particularly strong, some of the defendants might choose to defend themselves all the way to trial in order to seek acquittal or a verdict of not guilty.

Lennox Lewis says Anthony Joshua needs new trainer
By Charles Brun: Lennox Lewis strongly believes that Anthony Joshua needs to make an upgrade by switching out his long-time trainer Rob McCracken in favor of a new coach to help him keep improving. Lewis points out that other heavyweights have figured out his fighting style, and know how to beat him. Andy Ruiz Jr. destroyed Joshua last weekend in stopping him in seven rounds. Just like in any sport, once other athletes know how to neutralize their competitors, it's game over. That happens in football, basketball, and tennis.
Ruiz revealed after the fight that he'd seen the flaws in Joshua's game, and that's why he wanted to fight him more than WBC champion Deontay Wilder. Ruiz spotted something in Joshua's game, and he took full advantage of it.
Joshua is resistant to dumping McCracken
AJ intends on staying loyal to McCracken despite his loss to Ruiz. Apparently, Joshua is going to stick it out with McCracken until the bitter end. Joshua is blaming himself for the defeat instead of spreading the blame to his trainer McCracken, who arguably should have taught him to use his jab, move, and fight on the outside by this point in his career. McCracken should have gotten Joshua to stay away from the weight room, so that he wouldn't be walking around and looking like he's about to enter a bodybuilding contest.
What's become obvious is Joshua' stamina is inadequate for him to compete in fast paced fights, as we saw in his match against Ruiz. You would think that McCracken had to have spotted that flaw in Joshua during his sparring sessions, and he should have had him drop 20 to 30 pounds of useless muscle weight. Working on Joshua's cardio should have been the first priority. A good trainer would have made that move.
"I was in disbelief," said Lewis to PBC on Fox in talking about Joshua's loss to Ruiz Jr. "Joshua went into the fight wrong. He didn't really look prepared, and that was the most of it. He wasn't prepared for what Ruiz had to offer, and that's really doing your homework on the guy. He's [Ruiz] a banger, and he's got fast hands, and fast feet. There's a certain way that you prepare for those guys," said Lewis.
Lewis nails it on the head in talking about Joshua not being prepared. Joshua looked bigger for this fight in terms of his muscles than in his previous contest against Alexander Povetkin last September, and that suggests that he's been working on his muscles rather than focusing on functional training that would actually help him in the fight. It's fine for fighters to have a hobby, but when that hobby starts to negatively impact their game, then it's time to rid themselves of it.

William Z. Johnson of Audio Research: High Definition Page 3
Both: Why is that? [laughter]
Johnson: Well, I guess there are two reasons: One is the availability of some premium-quality vacuum tubes that have both the performance and reasonable life expectancy; the other is that, frankly, whether we like it or not, the tube is simply a better device for audio.
I don't really believe that solid-state will ever be as good as vacuum tubes can be. I think that, with the same attention to design sophistication, vacuum tubes would always win. Unfortunately, the complexity can get out of hand.
But your question was about being perceived as this vacuum-tube company that went into solid-state two or three times over the years. Back in 1974, we made a determination that vacuum tubes would probably become prehistoric at some point, and we would be faced with the necessity of having solid-state products. So we developed a solid-state amp and a preamp, bringing them to the marketplace in 1976. For the first several months we sold hundreds and hundreds of those amps and preamps. They were extremely well-received in the marketplace.
But I think both Stereophile and The Abso!ute Sound felt betrayed by our sojourn into solid-state from vacuum tubes, and we didn't get favorable reviews from anybody. Everybody kind of cut us to ribbons on that, and almost overnight our incredibly good initial sales of those products just started dwindling.
After fighting that for a couple of years, we finally decided we simply couldn't win the battle, and in 1978 I brought out the SP-6 preamp, which was very, very successful. The following year I brought out the D-79 amplifier, which was also very successful. Then, in 1980, we brought out some new solid-state products: the D120, the D60, and the SP-7. These products were not breakthrough products, but they were significantly better than the original offerings. But again, we were not considered a solid-state company, and we never achieved great market success with those products, even though they were good products.
Then we decided that we could combine the attributes of the then-available FETs and vacuum tubes in hybrid designs, and we did that with such products as the SP-11. We still have some of those models today.
The problem with hybrid products is that neither the vacuum-tube lovers nor the solid-state lovers like it [laughs]—it's a kind of no-man's land. About three years ago we made the decision that we should offer products in all three categories—which we've done. We currently have a line of solid-state products which we think are of sufficient quality that they can be considered seriously by people who want solid-state amplifiers. We still have our hybrid models, and of course now, thanks to the availability of these fine Russian tubes, we once again have some vacuum-tube products. And that's the only reason. We would simply not have been able to do that had we not had a supply of truly premium tubes available.
We are not married to any one technology. Unfortunately for those who don't like vacuum tubes, they still are the best device when the chips are down.
Harley: It shouldn't matter what technology is in a product as long as it sounds good.
Johnson: It shouldn't matter. But I think there's a perception out there by both camps that you have the unreliability of vacuum tubes together with perhaps the lack of performance of the solid-state devices. [laughs] And that isn't totally unjustified.
There have been a number of hybrid products over the years by various manufacturers that have been, frankly, unserviceable. So that reputation isn't totally without some foundation. On the other hand, I think that, with the exception of Chinese power-output tubes, our hybrid products are reasonably reliable. Today, if they're re-equipped with the Russian tubes, they're totally reliable.
Harley: Tell me about the product-development cycle of designing on paper, listening, and measuring.
Johnson: Product design usually starts with the marketing department telling us they need a product in this arena—breaking new ground with things we haven't done before. The other category of product development is the ongoing development of a basic design. Witness the evolution of things like the D70, D115, and D250 series, through the VT series now. That's one type of design work.
I still design the vacuum-tube products and contribute heavily to the hybrid products. I start with a computer. I have several CAD/CAM programs, and I rustle out a design on paper. Sometimes I'll give the design to our engineering team, just as a schematic. Other times I'll do a complete design—give them metalwork drawings and everything—which they'll still turn around and re-do before it ends up being an actual product.
In the case of things like this new CDT-1, the CD transport we're about to release, that starts out a little differently. It starts out with a review of what we think might be wrong with some of the existing designs, and then we empirically try different approaches.
But I think if I were to give you a typical procedure, we'd start out with a computer, have a design on paper, and that would be turned over to one of the engineers as a project. He would convert that into a breadboard, at least. We'd listen to it, criticize it, and consider various ramifications of its design. Probably re-do it a time or two, and then we'd do a true prototype—something that would actually resemble a finished product. And from that a pre-production unit, which would hopefully be identical to the unit that actually was produced. And then, finally, production. Not really too different, I suppose, from any other manufacturer.
Harley: I understand that all the critical evaluations during product development are done with analog source.

Stop running the family budget and give the reins back to the homemaker, writes P N Vijay
P N Vijay
This is Budget time and the PM and FM have been busy with prior consultations. I read that they met big businessmen, private equity players and economists. I did not read of them meeting the simple, hardworking middle class who number 40 crores and pay a high percentage of the income tax and an even higher portion of the GST that make the government function. This middle class has been most affected in the last two years due to job losses, pay cuts, high taxes and hyper-inflation but all it got in return was increased taxes on petrol and cooking gas. The government does not spend any money collecting taxes from this class, as taxes are collected at source and handed over to the government. Yet it remains the 'forgotten middle'. Through this piece, I am requesting the 'powers that be' to be more caring of the middle class and show respect for this 'silent majority'.
Middle class no longer BJP's favourite:
The urban middle class has been the vote bank of the BJP for many decades but ironically, has always been cast aside when it comes to taxes. Here are some of the ways -- in India, we slashed corporate taxes. Big corporations like Reliance Industries and Hindustan Lever pay tax at a lower rate than the hardworking woman who toils at home and office just to keep the family's head above water. This is totally unacceptable and I am yet to understand why this government has done it. Some critics of the government would say this is part of crony capitalism in India but my view is that with the BJP finding the magic wand to get votes without urban support, it has just lost interest in the middle class. This class hardly finds a place in the PM's speeches and the material put out by the government.
Lower tax rates for individuals and increase in the minimum:
It is imperative that the highest rate of tax for individuals should be brought down to 25%. Also asking a person to pay income tax if their monthly income is Rs 20,000 is sheer loot. We all know that a family of four, with school-going children cannot even survive in India on a salary of Rs 20,000 a month and it is immoral to ask such a person to pay income tax. Tax slabs should start from Rs 5 lacs; From Rs 5 lac to Rs 10 lac, it should be 10 per cent; from Rs 10 lac to Rs 30 lac 20 per cent and 30 per cent above Rs 30 lac. The surcharge should be 10 per cent across all segments. There is no argument of loss of revenue which is the usual 'bureaucrat's revenge'. There should be fairness and equity in taxation.
Reduce tax on interest and dividends:
Taxation of interest income needs to be reviewed drastically. The last two years have been catastrophic for savers. Inflation is at 6 per cent and the interest on Bank FDs is 5 per cent means that savers are being punished with negative real rates of return. Adding insult to this injury, the tax exemption on interest income is a miserly Rs 10,000 and that too not available for FDs. To protect the interests of the saver, the tax exemption limit for bank interest should be increased to Rs 2 lac and should also include interest from FDs. The tax exemption on interest income for senior citizens should be increased to Rs 5 lac. There was a time when dividends were tax-free and so was long-term capital gains from shares and equity mutual funds. But under the Modi government, taxes on these have increased. This does not make sense if we want people to use shares as an investment tool and not just for speculation. Also, dividends are paid out of taxed profits. I suggest we should start by making dividend income tax free up to Rs 2 lac and also LTG from shares tax free up to Rs 10 lac. This will encourage the middle class to use shares for saving for their children.
Bring back incentives for owning homes:
For the middle class, home ownership is a dream. Falling interest rates have come as a boon but the tax laws for having one's home are not. I remember the Vajpayee government allowed a full set-off for interest on home loans against other incomes but this was reversed by later governments and the exemption is now subject to a maximum of Rs 2 lac. We need to bring back the interest set-off paid on home loans against other income of the taxpayer without limit. With one stroke of the pen, the government will set off a boom in the housing industry and more importantly, make it easier for a person from the middle-class person to build their dream home.
Increase exemption limits on tax-saving schemes:
The present ominibus limit of Rs 1.5 lac for all savings schemes was set a long time ago and needs revision. Even the incentive for set-off of housing loan instalments is included in this. This should be increased to Rs 3 lac. The present limit on senior savings schemes should be increased to Rs 25 lac. 'Where will the government find the money?' is a stupid question, which assumes that the government should keep spending our money. This government has been rightist only in its political agenda but leftist when it comes to taxation. The Socialist doctrine of tax-and spend was a failed doctrine but the government has embraced this policy. It takes pride in collecting more taxes from the middle class but does not say what it has given in return. Now is the time to get back to a liberal style of government and tax the middle class less. In short, stop running the family budget and give the reins back to the homemaker.

Kiev worried that Brexit would weaken EU support for Ukraine
Pavel Polityuk
KIEV (Reuters) - Politicians in Kiev worry that a vote by Britain to leave the European Union would weaken the EU's support for Ukraine and undermine its resolve to stand up to Russia.
British Prime Minister David Cameron listens to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko (R) ahead of an European Union leaders summit in Brussels February 12, 2015. REUTERS/Eric Vidal
"I do not think Brexit would lead to a U-turn on Ukraine, but it would be a serious stick to beat those who favor EU integration" Serhiy Leshchenko, a member of President Petro Poroshenko's faction in parliament, told Reuters.
His concern, ahead of Thursday's referendum, is typical of pro-Western Ukrainian politicians who hope to integrate their ex-Soviet country into the EU and distance it from Moscow.
A decision by then president Viktor Yanukovich to reject an association agreement with the EU sparked the "Maidan" protests in 2014 that brought a pro-Western government to power and precipitated Moscow's annexation of the Crimean peninsula.
But two years on, Ukrainians and their Western backers are frustrated with Kiev's slow pace of reforms and drive to tackle corruption.
A key promise of the EU deal which was sealed after Yanukovich's fall, visa free travel, has yet to materialize as Europe's migration crisis hardened attitudes in Brussels.
Poland and other Central European neighbors have also complained about an influx of refugees from Ukraine fleeing fighting between Kiev and Russian-backed separatists in the Donbass region.
"The outcome of the referendum in the UK could fragment the European Union and theoretically complicate our EU integration. And it shouldn't be forgotten that the EU is a counterweight to Russia on the issue of Ukraine," the head of the reformist Samopomich faction in parliament, Oleh Bereziuk, told Reuters.
Britain has pushed for the EU to renew sanctions on Russia imposed after the Crimea annexation, but other EU countries want them lifted, so if the country leaves the bloc, that could soften the EU stance, Ukrainian politicians say.
"Brexit will seriously compromise the unity of the EU on the issue of sanctions," Leshchenko said. "The EU will lose one of the main lobbyists for sanctions against Russia."
Despite disappointment with progress since the Maidan revolt, Ukrainians remain broadly positive toward the EU with 55 percent supporting the association agreement and just 15 percent preferring a trade deal with Russia.
"We will not halt our movement toward EU, and how they take us on will not depend on the referendum, but on how we carry out reforms and fight corruption," the deputy head of President Poroshenko's bloc, Leonid Kozachenko, told Reuters.

<TITLE>Review for Guinevere (1999)</TITLE>
<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" TYPE="text/css" HREF="/ramr.css">

Guinevere (1999)

reviewed by
Allan Jenoff

Guinevere
Directed by:  Audrey Wells
Starring: Sarah Polley, Stephen Rea, Jean Smart, Gina Gershon
Running time:  104 minutes
My rating (5 star scale):  ****1/2

Harper is the younger daughter of a family of lawyers.  She is
about to head off to Harvard law school and is attending her
sister's wedding.  She meets the wedding photographer who is the
only person there, including her family, to pay any attention to
her.  Although he is 30 years older than her, soon she is spending
time with him and secretly moves in with him, after telling her parents
she didn't get into Harvard after all.

Connie, the photographer, insists she learn to do something
artistic and decides to teach her how to take photos.  Harper soon
learns that she is not the first young woman Connie has educated
in this fashion.  And she doesn't seem to mind.  But this is the
kind of relationship doomed to failure and how it fails is what
interests us.  As Harper says, if you learn from your mistakes,
this was a great learning experience.

Polley is brilliant in this role, playing a naive girl who grows
into a self-confident woman.  Rea does a great job as the fragile
older man who seduces younger woman not merely for the obvious
physical reasons but for much deeper psychological purposes.  And
Jean Smart gives a staggering performance as Harper's mother, who
can't really do anything to stop her but who knows exactly what is
happening and why.  Her confrontation with Connie is the highlight
of the film.

This is a movie packed with strong character development and
great scenes.  Funny scenes like the fortune cookie reading at
Harper's birthday dinner at her home, to tragic scenes like
the final parting between Harper and Connie.  Unfortunately, some
of the minor roles (Gina Gershon as an exlover of Connie's) are
rather weak.  And it seems unlikely that Harper would be so
artistically talented. But this is compensated for by the
insights into Harper's family, who bring new levels of meaning
to the word dysfunctional, and into Connie's psychology.

The age difference between Harper and Connie has you seeing Connie
as a dirty old man.  And he is.  But by the time the movie ends,
you've come to forgive him his seductions and realize he is as
much a victim as anyone.  The young women he seduces will leave him
and go on to greater things.  But he is stuck with who and what he
is.

This is not as great a film as Polley's previous film The Sweet
Hereafter.
But it does give her an opportunity to stretch further as an
actress and to play a complex and interesting character.  I'm
really looking forward to what she does next and even if you're
not a fan, you should see this film.

It was Black Friday and I was heading downtown for a quick return and then to meet a friend for lovely late afternoon chat. I had this feeling come over me that I wanted to stay in peace no matter what….(a part of me knowing it was shopping Friday, so the crowds and all were going to be one of the challenges=-). This is such basic Law of Attraction in action here, but I left with plenty of time and headed downtown on the bus, and I waited for 30 minutes and enjoyed the wait. There was someone smoking in the bus seating area where I would normally sit, but I stood and enjoyed the weather. When I arrived at Eddie Bauer there was a long line of course, and I would normally be impatient perhaps or a little antsy, but I just relaxed and enjoyed the line…people out buying lovely presents for their loved ones….and on and on.

Letter Report on Proved Reserve Audit - Hess
DeGolyer and MacNaughton
5001 Spring Valley Road
Dallas, Texas 75244 LETTER REPORT
PROVED RESERVES AUDIT
CERTAIN PROPERTIES
attributable to
HESS CORPORATION
Dallas, Texas 75244 January 15, 2010 Board of Directors
New York, New York 10036 Gentlemen: Pursuant to your request, we have conducted a reserves audit of the net proved crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids (NGL), and natural gas reserves, as of December 31, 2009, of certain selected properties of Hess Corporation (Hess) to determine the reasonableness of Hess estimates. Hess has represented to us that these properties account for 79 percent on a net equivalent barrel basis of Hess153 net proved reserves, as of December 31, 2009. We have reviewed information provided to us by Hess that it represents to be Hess153 estimates of the net reserves, as of December 31, 2009, for the same properties as those which we evaluated. Reserves included herein are expressed as net reserves as represented by Hess. Gross reserves are defined as the total estimated petroleum to be produced from these properties after December 31, 2009. Net reserves are defined as that portion of the gross reserves attributable to the interests owned by Hess after deducting all interests owned by others, except in Russia, where Hess owns 80 percent of a consolidated corporate joint venture. As a result, Hess net reserves include 20 percent of the Russian joint venture reserves not owned by Hess. Certain properties in which Hess has an interest are subject to the terms of various profit sharing agreements. The terms of these agreements generally allow for working interest participants to be reimbursed for portions of capital costs and operating expenses and to share in the profits. The reimbursements and profit proceeds are converted to a barrel of oil equivalent or standard cubic foot of gas equivalent by dividing by product prices to determine the "entitlement reserves." These entitlement reserves are equivalent in principle to net reserves and are used to calculate an equivalent net share, termed an "entitlement interest." In this report,
DeGolyer and MacNaughton Hess net reserves or interest for certain properties subject to these agreements is the entitlement based on Hess153 working interest. Estimates of oil, condensate, NGL, and natural gas reserves should be regarded only as estimates. Such estimates are based upon information that is currently available and may change as further production history and additional information become available. Such estimates are also subject to the uncertainties inherent in the application of judgmental factors in interpreting such information. Data used in this audit were obtained from reviews with Hess personnel, Hess files, from records on file with the appropriate regulatory agencies, and from public sources. Additionally, this information includes data supplied by Petroleum Information/Dwights LLC; Copyright 2009 Petroleum Information/Dwights LLC. In the preparation of this report we have relied, without independent verification, upon such information furnished by Hess with respect to property interests, production from such properties, costs of operation and development, prices for production, agreements relating to current and future operations and sale of production, and various other information and data that were accepted as represented. A field examination of the properties was not considered necessary for the purposes of this report. In our opinion, the adequacy and quality of the data provided to us was sufficient for us to conduct this reserves audit. The Hess net proved reserves attributable to these properties as of December 31, 2009, and which represent approximately 79 percent of total Hess net reserves on a net equivalent barrel basis, are as follows, expressed in millions of barrels (MMbbl), billions of cubic feet (Bcf), and millions of barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe):

Net Proved Reserves as of December 31, 2009

Total 680.2 48.1 2,437.3 1,134.5
Gas is converted to oil equivalent using a factor of 6,000 cubic feet of gas per 1 barrel of oil equivalent.
DeGolyer and MacNaughton Opinion The assumptions, data, methods and procedures used by DeGolyer and MacNaughton to conduct the reserves audit are appropriate for purposes of this report. In our opinion, the estimated net proved reserves prepared by Hess as shown in the table above comply with the definitions and disclosure guidelines of Paragraphs 932-235-50-4, 932-235-50-6 through 932-235-50-9 of the Accounting Standards Update 932-235-50, Extractive Industries : Oil and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures (January 2010) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and Rules 4:10(a) (1):(32) of Regulation S:X and Items 1201, 1202(a)(1), (2), (3), (4) and 1203 of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the reserves estimation methodologies employed are appropriate. In comparing the detailed net proved reserves estimates by field prepared by us and by Hess, we have found differences, both positive and negative. It is our opinion that the total net proved reserves estimates prepared by Hess as of December 31, 2009, on the properties reviewed by us and referred to in the table above, when compared on the basis of net equivalent barrels, do not differ materially from those prepared by us. Methodology and Procedures Estimates of reserves were prepared by the use of standard geological and engineering methods generally accepted by the petroleum industry. The method or combination of methods used in the analysis of each reservoir was tempered by experience with similar reservoirs, stage of development, quality and completeness of basic data, and production history. When applicable, the volumetric method was used to estimate the original oil in place (OOIP) and the original gas in place (OGIP). Structure and isopach maps were constructed to estimate reservoir volume. Electrical logs, radioactivity logs, core analyses, and other available data were used to prepare these maps as well as to estimate representative values for porosity and water saturation. When adequate data were available and when circumstances justified, material balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate OOIP or OGIP.
DeGolyer and MacNaughton Estimates of ultimate recovery were obtained after applying recovery factors to OOIP or OGIP. These recovery factors were based on consideration of the type of energy inherent in the reservoirs, analyses of the fluid properties, the structural positions of the properties, and the production histories. When applicable, material balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate recovery factors. An analysis of reservoir performance, including production rate, reservoir pressure, and gas-oil ratio behavior, was used in the estimation of reserves. For depletion-type reservoirs or those whose performance disclosed a reliable decline in producing-rate trends or other diagnostic characteristics, reserves were estimated by the application of appropriate decline curves or other performance relationships. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limits of economic production or to the limit of the production licenses as appropriate. Petroleum reserves estimated by Hess and by us are classified as proved and are judged to be economically producible in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and assuming continuation of current regulatory practices using conventional production methods and equipment. Reserves were estimated only to the limit of economic production rates under existing economic and operating conditions using prices and costs consistent with the effective date of this report, including consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements but not including escalations based upon future conditions. Definition of Reserves Proved reserves classifications used in this report are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4:10(a) (1):(32) of Regulation S:X of the SEC of the United States. The petroleum reserves are classified as follows: Proved oil and gas reserves : Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible:from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations:prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence
DeGolyer and MacNaughton indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. (i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes: (A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any; and, (B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. (ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty. (iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty. (iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when: (A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and, (B) The project has been approved for development
DeGolyer and MacNaughton by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities. (v) Existing economic and operating conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. Developed oil and gas reserves : Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered: (i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and (ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well. Undeveloped oil and gas reserves : Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. (i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances. (ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time.
DeGolyer and MacNaughton (iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in Rule 4-10(a)(2) of Regulation S-X, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty. Primary Economic Assumptions The following economic assumptions were used for estimating existing and future prices and costs: Oil and Condensate Prices Hess has represented that the oil and condensate prices were based on a 12-month average price (reference price), calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements. Hess supplied appropriate differentials by field to the relevant reference prices and the prices were held constant thereafter. NGL Prices Hess has represented that the NGL prices were based on a 12-month average price, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements. These prices were held constant over the lives of the properties. Natural Gas Prices Hess has represented that the natural gas prices were based on a reference price, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic
DeGolyer and MacNaughton average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements. The gas prices were calculated for each property using differentials furnished by Hess and held constant thereafter. Operating Expenses and Capital Costs Operating expenses and capital costs, based on information provided by Hess, were used in estimating future costs required to operate the properties. Future costs are typically based on existing costs and where appropriate adjusted to reflect planned changes in operating conditions. These costs were not escalated for inflation. Possible Effects of Regulations Hess153 oil and gas reserves have been estimated assuming the continuation of the current regulatory environment. Foreign oil producing countries, including members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) may impose production quotas which limit the supply of oil that can be produced. Generally, these production quotas affect the timing of production, rather than the total volume of oil or gas reserves estimated. Changes in the regulatory environment by host governments may impact the operating environment and oil and gas reserves estimates of industry participants. Such regulatory changes could include increased mandatory government participation in producing contracts, changes in royalty terms, cancellation or amendment of contract rights, or expropriation or nationalization of property. While the oil and gas industry is subject to regulatory changes that could affect an industry participant153s ability to recover its oil and gas reserves, neither we nor Hess are aware of any such governmental actions which restrict the recovery of the December 31, 2009, estimated oil and gas volumes.
DeGolyer and MacNaughton DeGolyer and MacNaughton is an independent petroleum engineering consulting firm that has been providing petroleum consulting services throughout the world for over 70 years. DeGolyer and MacNaughton does not have any financial interest, including stock ownership, in Hess. Our fees were not contingent on the results of our evaluation. This letter report has been prepared at the request of Hess and should not be used for purposes other than those for which it is intended. DeGolyer and MacNaughton has used all procedures and methods that it considers necessary to prepare this report.

Bone broth is incredibly simple to make and has amazing health benefits. If you follow me on Facebook, you got to bear witness to my delightfully awkward, yet hopefully entertaining and informative live video of making bone broth last month.
What I realized I didn't cover was where you actually find bones for bone broth. Living in my nutrition bubble, I forget that not everyone has a cow in their freezer. WEIRD, I KNOW RIGHT.
Read on for my favorite places to ingredients and an autumn inspired bone broth recipe.

SALINAS — Jake Reynolds and his son, Boaz, were hanging out inside one of the VIP viewing sections at the California International Airshow on Saturday afternoon, waiting for the anticipated Blue Angels demonstration.
Boaz, 3, sat on top of his dad's shoulders, wearing a set of red noise-cancelling headphones and a black pilot hat, watching as the F/A-18 Hornet jets zoomed by leaving nothing but a trail of white smoke.
"It was amazing," said Reynolds, a Marine veteran from Santa Cruz. "It made me feel really super proud of them. It was a great, crisp precise demonstration. I'm proud of our country and our services, it was just amazing."
Reynolds, 45, served in the Marine Corps with Lieutenant Colonel Mark Montgomery, who is the pilot for the Blue Angels' C-130 transport aircraft nicknamed "Fat Albert."
"I heard they were coming to town and I asked him if he had any tickets to the Blue Angels tent," Reynolds said.
Reynolds, along with hundreds of other spectators, watched the pilots do their aerobatic demonstration as they flew in six F/A-18 Hornet aircraft. The team split into the Diamond Formation — Blue Angels 1 through 4 — and the Lead and Opposing Solos — Blue Angels 5 and 6.
Most of the show alternated between maneuvers performed by the Diamond Formation and the Solos.
The Diamond is a tight formation and usually travels at lower speeds like 400 miles per hour. The group performs maneuvers such as formation loops, rolls and transitions from one formation to another.
The Solos showcase the high performance capabilities of their aircraft through execution of high-speed passes, slow passes, fast rolls, slow rolls and very tight turns.
The highest speed flown during an air show is 700 mph, which is just under Mach 1, and the lowest speed is 120 mph. Some of the maneuvers include both solo aircraft performing at once, such as opposing passes, which appears to be a collision course, and mirror formations like back-to-back. belly-to-belly or wingtip-to-wingtip with one jet flying inverted.
The Solos join the Diamond Formation near the end of the show for a number of maneuvers in the Delta Formation.
The team has flown Boeing F/A-18 Hornets since 1986. The aircraft are constantly maintained and updated to be combat ready. Weapons have been removed from the performance planes and replaced with a tank that contains smoke-oil used in demonstrations.
The Navy's flight demonstration squadron was initially formed in 1946, making it the second oldest formal flying aerobatic team in the world, after the French Patrouille de France formed in 1931. The Blue Angels' McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets — numbered 1 through 6 — are currently flown by five Navy demonstration pilots and one Marine Corps demonstration pilot.
There have been 267 demonstration pilots in Blue Angels history, including the 2019 season, that have flown for more than 505 million spectators.
The "Blue Angels perform at both military and non-military airfields, and often over major U.S. cities and capitals such as San Francisco's "Fleet Week" Maritime Festival, the Chicago Air and Water Show and Cleveland's annual Labor Day Air Show.

The Blue Angels are currently doing 61 shows at 32 locations from the middle of March through the beginning of November. It was the first time in 10 years the flight demonstration team has been to Salinas.
Armon Johnson of Paso Robles brought his 4-year old grandson, Archer Loy, to the show, the boy's first airshow experience. Archer got a chance to see everything Blue Angels related, including their transportation plane, Fat Albert. He was carrying a replica of the plane.
"I hope to someday interest this little guy," Johnson said. "When I was a kid, I didn't have any of this."
Johnson, 56, grew up in a small town in the midwest with about 800 people. He said he joined the Marines to "get out of Dodge" and was stationed at Camp Pendleton.
Johnson said he loves the military part of the show, especially because he was a corporal in the Marines.
"I hope to at least get my grandkids to see this stuff so they know what's out there," he said. "That's my thing and that's why we're up here today. Nobody did this for me and I want to do it for him, it's important to me."
Johnson is also a big fan of aerobatic pilot Sean Tucker, who won several air show championship competitions throughout his career and was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 2008.
Like his grandson, Johnson also has his own set of toys but in the form of remote control airplanes.
"My garage is full of them," he said. "Like I said, I'm just an airplane nut. If I get a chance to go to an airshow, I go."
Manuel Mendoza of Salinas brought his family, including his 4-year old grandson Kaden Antolin. He said he likes the fact the show is family friendly and is different every year, including the return of the Blue Angels.
"I had to bring the grandkids and all the family," he said. "It gets a little pricey but it's well worth it."

WallpaperLola: 1980-1990Similar Automakers
Sold for $82,000 at 2016 Mecum : Monterey.
This Lola T90/00 Indy Car has been documented as Lola chassis #H.U.02 and is powered by a Ilmor-built Chevrolet 2.65-liter turbocharged V-8 engine. It is finished in #5 Valvoline livery. This is one of the two original cars used by Galles-Kraco Racing for the 1990 season. For the 1990 season, team owners Rick Galles and Maurice Kraines decided to merge their operations, which paired Al Unser Jr. with 1986 Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Rahal. This particular car was driven by two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Al Unser Jr. to his first CART PPG Indy Car World Series Championship. During the 1990 season, Unser captured six races on his way to the season title.
Unser captured the Long Beach Grand Prix from the pole position in only the second race of the season. After a fourth-place finish in the Indianapolis 500, Unser won the first oval race of his career at the Milwaukee Mile and then proceeded to dominate the competition with a four-race winning streak at Toronto, Michigan, Denver and Vancouver. At the Michigan 500, Unser dueled wheel-to-wheel with his elder teammate Rahal for lap after lap prior to taking the checkered flag first. Unser would go on to become a two-time CART champion and win an outstanding 34 Indy Car races—including the Indianapolis 500 in both 1992 and 1994—in his career.
A restoration of the #5 Valvoline Lola was completed in June of 2016 with aircraft hardware used throughout the car.

Wrexham FC striker Andy Bishop insists team weren't good enough against Dartford
Dragons forward blasts team-mates after Dartford loss and calls for better against Southport
Rob Griffiths
Wrexham FC 1 Dartford 3: Wrexham players Manny Smith, Louis Moult and Andy Bishop look dejected after being beaten 3-1 at home to Dartford on Saturday.
Andy Bishop was honest in his assessment of Wrexham's dismal 3-1 defeat at home to Dartford last Saturday, insisting "we weren't good enough".
The loss ended Wrexham's six game unbeaten streak and saw them lose further ground in the race for a play-off berth.
The key now for the Dragons is how they respond to the Boxing Day clash at Haig Avenue against Vanarama Conference strugglers Southport.
And Bishop says it is vital his team go on a run of form, starting with the Sandgrounders challenge.
"I think it is everyone, me included, we weren't good enough (against Dartford), said the striker. "In parts we played alright, but we have got to be a lot, lot better.
Wrexham FC 1 Dartford 3: Match action from a poor Dragons performance on Saturday
"It is getting to the point where we have got to go on a run and we have got to win five or six on the bounce (in the league), and it is going to be a tough game, but we have got to go there to Southport and look to get the win."
Manager Kevin Wilkin was so incensed at the loss to the Darts he called his players in for additional training on the Sunday.
Bishop backed his manager in making the tough decision for extra training on their day off, and he was also insistent the loss had nothing to do with the looming FA Cup third round tie Stoke City.
He said: "We had to sit down and have a chat about what went on and work on a few things and he had every right to bring us in, and I think the players have responded in the right way.
"It (the FA Cup) wasn't on the back of my mind, I thought we went into the game and the way we were playing we would do well, but football is a strange game and we have got to start taking our cup form into the league, and obviously we will do that on Boxing Day.
"It (Haig Avenue) is a tough place to go, a tough ground, and they know how they want to play there. We have got to go there and play our game and play like we did at home and pass the ball, move it about and go for the good result."

It may be a cliche to say 'nothing succeeds like success', but that doesn't make the phrase any less true. We'd like to focus today on one of English football's most successful clubs over the past 15 years. During that time, Manchester United have won every major domestic and European trophy, including the European Cup in 1999. Their manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, is recognised as one of the most successful in English football history. Yet for the past couple of years the current team has failed to live up to the achievements of the recent past. Last year they failed to win a single trophy and this season sees them with just one remaining opportunity to win silverware - the League Cup final against Wigan Athletic this Sunday (26th Feb 2006). In previous seasons Manchester United have regarded this trophy - seen as the least glamorous of the three main English competitions - with disdain, often putting out teams of reserve and youth squad players. So on one level it is a sign of the club's decline that in 2006 their only hope of winning silverware is in this competition. However, the winning spirit has not disappeared. And perhaps more importantly, and certainly more interestingly for us, is the reason behind this desire to win the League Cup. Sir Alex has repeatedly said that winning a trophy - any major trophy - is the aim at the start of every campaign. He knows, and his experienced players know, that success breeds success. A trophy won one year very often creates a momentum that ensures another trophy is won the following year. As team captain Gary Neville says of Sunday's cup final: "This final presents a fantastic opportunity to win a medal for lads like Wayne Rooney and Kieran Richardson, who have not done it before. ... And I know what confidence medals can bring". Neville and Ferguson both know the truth behind the adage 'nothing succeeds like success' and that for the current generation of youngsters in their team it is imperative that they get the taste of silverware and success ... to ensure further and future glory. It is a lesson that can be repeated in all walks of life, from sports to arts to the corporate world to public honours. Reward achievement, and it will reward you.
