How do you spell perfection? Linda Lavin + Billy Stritch!
Linda Lavin's latest Cabaret Show at 54Below is called Starting Over. It's actually the story of her life in story but mostly in song. According to Wikipedia, she's old enough to have "started over" several times, but even close-up, she looks like she's several decades away from collecting social security.
From the stage she beams as a roar of applause greets her before she even utters her first syllable. She looks terrific. What a radiant face! What a willowy body! What slinky moves. What a sleek, glitzy but understated ensemble. What a sensational musical director in Billy Stritch! What wonderful back-up musicians in Tom Hubbard on Bass and Ron Affif on Guitar! And last but hardly least, what a handsome and talented husband, Steve Bakunas, drumming, smiling and singing with her on stage! Who could ask for anything nicer to come home to?
The story of her life is complicated. Her mother was an opera singer who gave up her career when she married and hoped Linda would be a pianist too. Fortunately, Linda walked away from her mother's dream and found her own. She fell in love with Moira Shearer in The Red Shoes and decided to become a dancer, attended the Dorothy Mason School of The Dance, where right before the school's annual major recital, Ms. Mason told Ms. Lavin to stand perfectly still and sing, "Look to the Rainbow," without making a single gesture. Her recreation of this traumatic event is distressingly hilarious.
Lavin attracts enthusiastic fans, who've watched her portray a panoply of characters — from Sydney the secretary to a Walter Winchell-type columnist in Superman to the self-indulgent kvetching Allergist's Wife to the redecorating widow-in-waiting in The Lyons to the narcissistic star, falling apart during a rehearsal of Medea — and simply can't wait to see her do whatever she chooses to do, again and again and again, in movies and TV. Just last season she made everyone blanche as a demanding social worker unjustly accused lawyer Cary Agos, the business partner of the CBS Good Wife. Shakespeare's description of Cleopatra fits her to a T: "Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety." I only hope that whenever she gets around to retiring, the facility she chooses has a showroom large enough to contain her talent.
Despite her Labor Day evening opening night — during a time frame when the usual suspects are creeping back to Manhattan on the LIE at a speed of one inch per hour — 54Below was packed with Lavin lovers and happily so. The lady didn't disappoint us. She is a simply amazingly versatile performer who can do anything: have you LOL as she warbles a silly Sondheim ditty or makes snuggle with sweetie when she purrs a romantic ballad backed by a sensuous Billy Stritch chart. Billy Stritch's musical sensitivity and his lively arrangements explain why stars like Liza Minnelli and the late Elaine Stritch always relaxed when Billy's flying fingers had their backs. And there's a surprise. Aaron Weinstein, who looks like a 19-year old Yeshiva boy but plays like a lyrical and accomplished virtuoso.
Starting Over is an especially well-crafted show with interesting comments about life and practically every standard you've ever loved or made love to. Lavin and Stritch unite in 23 songs that make the evening fly by.


Recent legislation has expanded the university's sick time and PTO policies to cover new uses.
The state of Michigan's Paid Medical Leave Act of 2018 requires employers to offer paid sick time to eligible employees. While U-M already meets or exceeds most of the requirements, the legislation includes specific circumstances that were not previously identified under university policies.
As of March 29, faculty and staff may request sick time or PTO for purposes relating to domestic violence or sexual assault situations, closure of an individual's primary worksite or child's school due to a public health emergency, and to care for a sick grandchild.
The law also extends a new paid sick time benefit to certain temporary and part-time staff.
Eligible staff who do not already receive paid time off will gain access to up to 40 hours of paid sick time per year based on hours worked in the previous year. Eligibility will be re-assessed every Jan. 1, or with each new qualifying appointment during the year.
Approximately 160 Michigan Medicine staff were recently notified by email that they qualify for the new paid sick time benefit in 2019 based on hours worked in 2018. Like other types of time off, paid sick time will be displayed on an individual's timesheet and paystub.
Eligible staff can report paid sick time using the new time reporting code SPL-Sick Paid Leave.


" Great! Johnny was awesome!"
" I love the heat pump! So quiet. The installer was very professional and went over everything with me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend SunCommon to my friends."
" Excellent, John was attentive and hard working. He did a great job with the installation. He was very respectful and friendly. It is a pleasure to work with all of the folks at Vermont Energy Contracting and Supply. When it comes time for HVAC work in the spring I will be calling back. "
" VT Energy has consistently done fine work to insure that my furnace is in good working order each fall. Last year, the man who did the work noted that my oil tank was almost rusted through and in danger of collapsing. He shored it up with a piece of wood so that it could hold until I could have the tank replaced. I appreciate such careful work. I appreciated the man this year as well for his serious approach to taking care of the furnace."
" Fantastic job, efficient, friendly and very thorough."
" Great work done in timely manner and cleaned up afterwards. Can't ask for anything more. Thank you."
" Excellent. Professional and friendly."
" Gil was very thorough, friendly & helpful, as all your employees are! Thank you."
" Showed time. professional job. kept everything cleaned up. Did what they said they would. great job"


Okay this isn't actually my site but I just stumbled across it the other day and it was so cool (no pun intended) that I wanted to let people know about it... www.soulkool.com ... It's sort of hard to explain unless you check it yourself but it's this whole 3-D interactive world where you're your own little animated dude that walks around through all these rooms (there's a mock music store, movie theater, skate park, club, etc.) and you get to IM and video conference with people (you even get to throw up on their little animated dude, if so inclined) and there's info up on the hottest video games and music and movies coming out. You can even watch the trailers right there. They're not trying to sell anything, in fact they're giving sh*t away for free. Has anyone else heard about it yet? I'd love to know what other people think.

If Marcus Harris and Aaron Finch walk out to open the batting for Australia in next week's first Test against India, they'll do so knowing the weight of history is against them.
With Finch playing just his third Test and Harris expected to make his debut at the top of the order, Wide World of Sports has uncovered the stat that reveals just how much of a gamble Australia is taking with its opening pair.
The Adelaide Test will mark the 1,485th time two Australians have headed to the crease to begin a Test innings, and on only 10 of those occasions has the pair been less experienced at Test level than Finch and Harris, and four of those 10 were before 1890.
The most recent occurrence of a less experienced pair came way back in the summer of 1979-80, when Bruce Laird and Julian Weiner opened against England in Perth, although Laird was more seasoned than it might appear, having played World Series Cricket. If the vagaries of World Series Cricket are discounted, we need to go all the way back to 1951-52 to find a pair with fewer combined innings at Test level than Finch and Harris.
When Mark Taylor made his debut he was accompanied to the crease by Geoff Marsh, playing his 26th Test match, and Taylor says having a wise head at the other end was invaluable.
"Of course it's a concern when you look at the numbers like that," Taylor told Wide World of Sports.
"You'd obviously like to have a more experienced player in there somewhere, when you've got a debutant opener.
"Having said that, Aaron Finch is our ODI and T20 captain, so even though he's only played two Tests he's not exactly a rookie at international level.
"One thing that will help them is they've played together at Victoria and Melbourne Renegades, so that will put Harris at ease a bit, having a domestic teammate alongside him.
"But there's no doubt they'll be nervous the first time they walk out together.
Taylor says Finch can put Harris at ease by playing his natural, aggressive game.
"I think he has to play his normal game in the Test match.
"He has to be a right-handed version of David Warner.
Finch's lack of time in the middle as an opener in the long-form of the game has already drawn criticism from the likes of former Test spinner Shane Warne, who slammed Victoria for not giving Finch a chance at the top of the order in Sheffield Shield matches.
Finch's experience opening for Victoria against the red ball is limited to just four matches in the 2013-14 season, when he was dismissed for 18 or less in seven of his eight innings.
Since then he has established himself as a middle-order batsman, averaging a healthy 43.00 since the start of the 2016-17 season.
He was solid at the top of the order in the two Tests against Pakistan, although in spin friendly conditions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi that are significantly different to the challenges he'll face in Australia.
Only once has an Australian opening pair with less than 10 Test innings between them produced a century partnership, and that was more than 70 years ago. However Finch and Harris can draw inspiration from another inexperienced Australian opening pair, who faced India at the MCG in 2011-12.
Like Finch and Harris, David Warner was playing his third Test and Ed Cowan his first. Warner made 37 and Cowan top scored with 68, setting Australia on course for a first innings of 333 and a 122-run victory.
Australian captain Tim Paine would no doubt jump at the chance for a similar outcome next week.
4 innings – eight occasions, including Warner/Cowan – vs India – MCG – 2011-12 (first innings), and potentially Finch/Harris – vs India – Adelaide – 2018-19 (first innings).

The Royal Jordanian Air Force has taken delivery of its first Airbus Defence & Space CN235 transport to have been adapted for a light gunship role.
The result of a collaboration between the nation's King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau and US contractor ATK Defense, the modified AC235 is being exhibited at the 6-8 May SOFEX exhibition in Amman.
Weapons integrated with the aircraft include a side-mounted 30mm cannon, plus four Lockheed Martin AGM-114M/K Hellfire air-to-surface missiles and two pods for BAE Systems 70mm (2.75in) Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System laser-guided rockets, carried using fuselage-mounted pylons. The aircraft also has been equipped with a suite of countermeasures systems for self-protection.
Delivery of the aircraft – which was previously operated by the Jordanian service in the air transport role – followed extensive modifications, including the installation of an ATK mission suite with two onboard operator stations.
The additional crew members will use a synthetic aperture radar and a pair of electro-optical/infrared sensors with laser rangefinders for targeting, and provide "sustained and precise firepower in a variety of scenarios", says ATK. These include flying intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, and providing close air support for ground forces, it adds. Full-motion video can also be streamed from the aircraft's sensors to ground terminals, using tactical datalinks.
Tests performed in the USA from late last year "included a full suite of aircraft flying qualities, sensor and weapons testing", says ATK. This process culminated with "accuracy validation completed in March", it adds.
Flightglobal's Ascend Fleets database records the Royal Jordanian Air Force as having had two CN235 transports in storage, carrying the registrations 3210 and 3211 – both originally built for the Spanish air force in 1990. The Jordanian service also currently flies two Airbus C295s in the medium transport role, according to Ascend.
ATK is also teamed with Alenia Aermacchi on the development of a command and control and gunship variant of the latter's Spartan medium transport. A fully-equipped MC-27J demonstrator – also equipped with a 30mm cannon – is scheduled to undergo a full firing campaign in the USA from next month. The Italian air force is to modify six of its C-27Js to the adapted configuration.


Looking through this and other decklists nobody seems to run The Price of Failure, why not?
@scrichards The Price of Failure is an amazing card, but this is more of a middle/middle deck than a Big/Little deck, so using Price of Failure can be a bit tricky. You'll more often than not draw into the Price of Failure at an inconvenient time!

Vernon Yard Recordings was an independent label owned by Virgin Records.  Vernon Yard is a small mews off the Portobello Road in Notting Hill.  Although Virgin owned a controlling interest in the label, they let Vernon Yard operate as a traditional indie (much like Virgin's relationship with Caroline Records), and therefore very few Vernon Yard releases were distributed by Virgin.  In fact, Vernon Yard used many different distributors throughout its run, primarily the aforementioned Caroline, but also competing major label Capitol Records and other willing distributors.  The label had a strong relationship with Virgin's British indie, Hut Records, importing Hut bands into the US, and sending Vernon Yard-signed acts over to the UK for release on Hut.

The label was known for its emphasis on modern psychedelic rock and its many subgenres, including shoegaze (The Verve), slowcore (Acetone and Low), and indie Britpop (The Auteurs).

Although the Vernon Yard label would still pop up occasionally up to the early 21st century, Virgin took greater control over the label in 1997, leading many key acts to leave the label. Virgin wanted to heavily promote The Verve's 1997 Urban Hymns and, as such, released the album on Virgin and not Vernon Yard.  The label's other two most popular acts, Acetone and Low, left for Vapor Records and Kranky Records, respectively, around the same time. These moves effectively left Vernon Yard without its key artists, and only a handful of releases on Vernon Yard have appeared over the years. The most notable post-1997 release on Vernon Yard was the Low remix album OwL Remix.

Refined and refreshing, the Roger & Gallet Jean Marie Farina Eau de Cologne is an inimitable creation.
Originally composed in 1806 by the heir of the eau de cologne, Jean Marie Farina, the fragrance recalls the abundance of an Italian garden, where orange and lemon trees grow beside the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean. Zesty citrus accords meet with the verdant greenery of herbs and leaves, resulting in a quenching fragrance for both men and women.
An opening of zesty lemon and bergamot awaken the senses, before a heart of sun-kissed neroli and petitgrain meets with the aromatic crispness of rosemary. A base of bold myrtle, cedar and sandalwood create a resolute, memorable dry down that lingers like the last rays of sun over the garden.
Roger & Gallet Jean Marie Farina Eau de Cologne Spray 100ml is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SGM57 from Sleeper sucess At last, four Roger & Gallet fragrances in, and I've found one I really like. Not love at first sniff, though. I originally thought it was rather a standard 'cologney' smell, but it's grown on me till I am choosing it as a signature scent over and above my beloved men's Aqua di Gio, my all time favourite. This cologne isn't just a standard, lemony whiff - it has a depth and complexity that develops during wear, giving it a greater distinction than expected. And its wear time is looong, far longer than usual for a cologne. Unfortunately my husband isn't enamoured by it, so the soaps I've bought will be for my use alone, but as he has one or two fragrances I'm not raving about, we can call it quits!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gardens from a superb summer fragrance! This is my favourite summer fragrance - ever! We live where the summers are hot, and this is such a refreshing perfume. (It's also a reasonably complex perfume, that is, not a 'thin' fragrance.) There is a definite citrus note to it, which I love, and find 'uplifting' and happy-making.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Toad from I never tire of this scent I have been using this cologne for years and must have bought a dozen or more bottles. It suited me as a young woman and still suits me in middle age. From time to time I try another scent, but always come back to this. On several occasions over the years I have been asked what perfume I'm wearing. It is classic, fresh and uplifting.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ChelseaChick from A fresh secent that doesn't age I buy this eau de cologne for my husband, he loves using this light and zesty fragrance as an aftershave and loves the soaps and handwash too.


I wonder what the OP means by "zero flexibility." Everyone gets sick. Everyone has to go to doctor and dentist appointments. Everyone has to be able to take time off for these things.
If they have 2 weeks of vacation, they probably have sick days in addition to that.
I think the OP may find the "random" days off school and school activities during the work day to be more challenging than the summers.
For the summer, we do camps, a week of family vacation, a week with grandma and take days off as needed. You just make it work. Since the OP has so little time off and no flexibility, s/he should definitely also try cooperating with other parents or trying to find a responsible teenager to hire to help with the "gap" days.
Also, don't assume that SAHMs will be the best help. I have not had a lot of luck with that. I guess some fear being taken advantage of and others may not even realize that you are in a bind. When I work from home, I often let my DD to have a friend over to keep her entertained and I usually try to stear her to the child of another WM. The OP may have better luck cooperating with other parents who work but have more flexibility.
this is not the norm, but I knew an office assistant who took a leave of absence during the summer because child care for 3 would have cost more than she made. I think she watched some other kids while she was home too.
Wow! That's some major flexibility. Her employer must have really valued her contributions the other 9 months of the year! Wonder if my employer likes me that much .
This was where I last worked. I don't think I fully appreciated what I had there. My son was so sick when he was 1 that I contemplated taking the winter off to keep him out of day care. In the end, my mom helped, and I paid a friend to keep him a couple days/week, and I took every Friday off for about 4 months.
A lot of companies have gone to Paid Time Off, PTO, you get what you get and then you are done. Not every company has sick time in addition to vacation time either so people have to use vacation time to take care of sick children. Teachers in our district get 2 personal days to use for illness, vacation, taking care of a sick child, etc. Any other time taken is unpaid. There is no flexibility in their schedule, but having holidays off helps.
What I meant is I would be surprised if 2 weeks was the total for vacation and sick. With only 2 weeks vacation, I would hope sick is separate. And don't most places increase your time off the longer your work there?
At my day care, the cost for an infant is $235/week. A school-ager is $55/week. That rate stays steady through the year. During the summer, they have at least one outing per week. You can sign up for the outing, or your child can stay at the center all day. The price for each outing is between $2-$7. They do everything from going to a splash park to the movies to visiting and getting pictures with a mini-horse.
All of the above is pretty common for day cares in my area.
I agree with the poster who said the random days off will be harder than the summer. Those days are when it really pays off to know other moms. It is good to be able to trade off days to stay home with the kids.

Out of Range by C J Box
I read the fifth Joe Pickett novel in between two by Anthony Trollope – the Trollopes are very long; the Joe Pickett books are short, only taking a couple of hours each to read.
Out of Range takes Joe away from Saddlestring to the larger Jackson, a centre for tourism in the region, with white-water rafting and other sporting activities, in contrast to the much more local beat with which Joe is familiar. Jackson's game warden has committed suicide, much to Joe's distress as the man was a friend, and Joe is asked to help out in the aftermath. Joe's supervisor, Trey, drives with him over the mountains to the secondment, but the two men are sidetracked by the need to hunt down a rogue bear. This prologue is rather a long and disconnected section of the novel and I'm not sure of its purpose, other than to re-emphasise Joe's reluctance to shoot anything.
Once in Jackson, Joe discovers that he's looked-down on as a country hick by most of his new colleagues and the people he has to deal with: law-enforcement officers, property developers, tourist guides, landowners and a representative of the "real meat" movement, in which people who were once vegetarians have now moved up or down (depending on your viewpoint!) to eating meat so long as they know the animal concerned and can ensure it has not been polluted by any modern farming treatments. There's big money in this, and Joe is plunged into being pressured to complete the permit application for a huge area of forest for these animals to live. Joe's concern is for the natural wildlife of the region, and whether elk, moose and other indigenous animals will be free to roam along their usual migration paths if the new "farm" is built.
Not only does Joe face this problem, but he's not popular with the local sheriff, either, who has been pre-alerted by Joe's previous nemesis, Sheriff Barnum of Saddlestring, that Joe is likely to want to investigate the warden's death. Despite being warned off, Joe isn't convinced that the death was a suicide, so begins to ask around.
In parallel with this plot, Marybeth, Joe's wife, is struggling back at the family's meagre home. She is resentful at Joe for leaving her to look after everything, and is soon embroiled in trying to deal with locals who need Joe's services (as Joe's temporary replacement has not shown up), and with a person who keeps calling the house and hanging up. Eventually, she calls on Nate, Joe's falconer friend, to help – with mixed results that move the series on.
I am pleased that the author is keeping the series fresh by trying out new themes, rather than repeating the successful formula of previous novels. Although I don't think Out of Range is the best Joe Pickett novel to date, it is nevertheless a diverting read – as usual, becoming darker than one might at first think as the pages turn.
I purchased the US mass-market edition of this novel. All the Joe Pickett series is being published this year in the UK by Corvus.
6 thoughts on "Out of Range by C J Box"
Maxine – Thanks for this review. When I read your summary of it, I was thinking the same thing you mention, that it's nice when the author changes a few things around even in a successful series, so that it doesn't get dull. It may not be entirely 100% successful, but it's nice for keeping the series fresh.


Imagine what this weekend might have been like. Before the owner of the Chargers turned his back on San Diego for the city we hate to the north of us.
This weekend is National Football League Hall of Fame weekend when the newest players to be honored are officially inducted in Canton Ohio.
And this weekend one of the all-time most popular members of what were the San Diego Chargers is one of those being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
L-T, LaDainian Tomlinson. One of the best players ever to play for the team that used to be known as the San Diego Chargers.
Had the team not bolted for L-A early this year, had the Chargers remained and were still the San Diego Chargers, this would be a big sports weekend in San Diego.
There would have been a gathering at what used to be called Qualcomm Stadium organized by the team that used to be called the San Diego Chargers. And there would have been thousands of fans of the team that used to be San Diego's team there watching the live video on the scoreboard as L-T is inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame this weekend.
But all of that will not happen this weekend in San Diego. It's not the good ole days any more when most sports fans in San Diego are talking all about the Chargers as the season draws near.
And while LaDainian Tomlinson was well loved by fans back then, their love has faded for him and the team that used to be known as the San Diego Chargers.
So as Charger fans in San Diego who are still unhappy and even angry think about what this NFL Hall of Fame weekend could have been like, they'll also be thinking about the owner of the now L-A Chargers who they've already put into their "Hall of Blame".

Biographie

Études
Ses études civiles se sont achevées en 1989 par l'obtention d'une maîtrise d'informatique appliquée à la gestion à l'université de Paris XII.

Carrière militaire

Après ses études universitaires, il est alors soumis aux obligations du service national, qui existait alors. Appelé du contingent, il choisit en 1989 de suivre la voie des élèves officiers de réserve à l'École militaire de l'infanterie de Montpellier. Il obtient à l'issue de sa formation une affectation au régiment d'infanterie de Marine du Pacifique–Polynésie où il sert une année en qualité de chef de section de combat dans la compagnie isolée de Taravao. Il sert au-delà de la durée du service national (alors de douze mois) en étant affecté en qualité de rédacteur au  régiment d'infanterie de marine (Fréjus).

En 1991, il accède au corps des officiers des armes de l'armée de terre, par la procédure d'activation prévue par l'article 15.3 du décret relatif aux officiers des armées de l'armée de terre, pour les officiers titulaires de diplômes sanctionnant au moins quatre ans d'études supérieures après le baccalauréat. Il rejoint alors la division d'application de l'École d'application de l'infanterie. Choisissant de servir au  régiment d'infanterie de Marine (Vannes), il est affecté à la  compagnie en qualité de chef de section de combat. Il participe successivement à l'opération Iskoutir (Djibouti, 1992), à une mission de courte durée au Gabon (1994) puis à l'opération Turquoise (Rwanda, 1994) où il est décoré de la croix de la Valeur militaire avec étoile de bronze. Détaché en compagnie d'instruction, il forme un contingent de militaires du rang avant une projection à Sarajevo dans le cadre de la Force de protection des Nations unies (FORPRONU, en ex-Yougoslavie, 1995). Il y est blessé le 27 mai 1995 en emmenant sa section à l'assaut du pont de Vrbanja , son unité étant placée sous le commandement de la compagnie dirigée par le capitaine François Lecointre . Son action lui vaut d'être décoré de la Légion d'honneur et de la croix de la Valeur militaire avec citation à l'ordre de l'armée.

Nommé capitaine en 1995, il sert ensuite à l'École d'application de l'infanterie durant deux ans à l'encadrement des officiers de réserve. Il se voit ensuite confier le commandement de la  compagnie de combat du  régiment interarmes d'Outre-mer (Djibouti) de 1997 à 1999.

À l'issue du diplôme d'état-major (2000), il est affecté au lycée militaire d'Aix-en-Provence à la programmation des activités. Chef de bataillon en 2002, il est intégré successivement à la  promotion du cours supérieur d'état-major (2003) et à la  promotion du Collège interarmées de Défense (2003-2004).

Il rejoint en 2004 le  régiment d'infanterie de marine (Le Mans) en qualité de chef du bureau « Renseignement opérations instruction ». Il participe avec le régiment à une mission de courte durée au Tchad (2005) au sein de l'opération Épervier. Il est nommé lieutenant-colonel en 2005.

De 2006 à 2008, le lieutenant-colonel Héluin est affecté en Nouvelle-Calédonie au poste de chef de la division opérations de l'état-major interarmées.

En 2008, il rejoint le Centre de planification et de conduite des opérations au sein de l'état-major des armées en qualité d'officier RETEX (retours d'expérience). Ensuite, il dirige le bureau d'analyse pour les opérations d'information et, à ce titre, a suivi les cours de planification « Opérations d'information et opérations militaires d'influence » au Collège de défense de l'OTAN.

Il est promu au grade de colonel en 2009 et a pris le commandement du  régiment d'infanterie de marine stationné au camp d'Auvours, à côté du Mans le 8 juillet 2010. À ce titre, il commande le bataillon interarmes Richelieu en Afghanistan (2011).

Il sert comme chef d'état-major de la  brigade d'infanterie de marine de 2012 à 2015. Il devient cadre professeur à l'École de guerre en 2015 puis devient auditeur de la  promotion du Collège de défense de l'OTAN. Il est commandant du groupement Terre de l'École de guerre de 2016 à 2017 puis est affecté en poste OTAN à Norfolk, au commandement allié pour la transformation.
