TAMPA, Fla. - Henrik Lundqvist made 37 saves in his first start in four games, and Mats Zuccarello had a goal and two assists in the New York Rangers' 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night.
Tampa Bay got goals from Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Valtteri Filppula.
The Rangers went up 4-2 on second-period power-play goals by Kreider and Pouliot.
Tampa Bay pulled within 4-3 on Filppula's tip-in 8:14 into the third. It was one of 16 shots the Lightning had on Lundqvist during the period.
Nash snapped his seven-game goal drought to put the Rangers up 1-0 just 4:30 into the game. Derek Stepan set up the goal after stealing a pass by Lightning defenceman Radko Gudas.
Zuccarello got the Rangers even at 2 during a power play when his pass into the low slot deflected off Gudas into the net at 18:25. The centre assisted on goals by Kreider and Pouliot.
NOTES: Lightning star Steven Stamkos, out since breaking his right leg on Nov. 11, did a series of agility drills during a 30 minute on-ice workout. The centre, who hopes to return in February, resumed skating 2 1/2 weeks ago. ... Rangers RW Ryan Callahan (sprained knee) had a limited workout, wearing a no-contact jersey, during the team's morning skate. ... Tampa Bay D Eric Brewer (upper body), Sami Salo (upper body) and LW Ryan Malone (broken ankle) could return during a four-game trip that starts Wednesday at Vancouver. ... New York D Marc Staal (concussion) and D Anton Stralman (undisclosed) practiced.


It's good practice to measure the performance of your site, and monitor this over time – often called benchmarking. On GOV.UK, we've just completed our fourth wave of benchmarking.
Government services should be usable by as many people as possible, including those who are disabled. It's our sixth design principle.
In agile, we find that user research works best when we do research in every sprint.
I'm part of the user research team working on Defra's Rural Payments exemplar, and I'm constantly grappling with where to carry out research with farmers and their agents.
I've been thinking (and doodling).
We had just travelled up a long, deeply potholed dirt track, ominously called 'unnamed road' on the GPS and were now looking for 'Three Chimney farmhouse'.

Michael Parry and Ben Smith put up some good performances and results in the Herne Hill 'season opener' on Saturday. Both rode in the senior B category. In the opening scratch event Ben Smith was second while Michael finished second in the elimination race followed by Michael first with Ben second in the Points race.
In the final 20 lap scratch Ben was 3rd and Michael 5th.
At the Velo Park also on Saturday the Wheelers girl racers were on good form at the Full Gas Cycling event – Imogen Chastell won the Under 14 girls race while Millie Gage was victorious in the Under 16 girls category . Unfortunately Josie Griffin punctured in the final lap when in contention for a top position.
Elspeth Grace and Lauren Higham were both in the U16 girls event and all in contention for top positions throughout as there was a seven girl bunch. Lauren was the main protagonist in trying to form a breakaway along with Elspeth but the efforts they put in were constantly frustrated by being closed down in the strong windy conditions. Lauren got away twice but was brought back but still contested the sprint with Millie, Elspeth and two other girls and were just behind the lead three in the final sprint with Lauren in 4th and Elspeth in 5th.
Sam Asker also had a good race in U16 boys but was frustrated by team tactics from other clubs working against his valiant efforts to get away from the bunch.
Ollie Stockwell was second in the U14 after breaking away in a group of three with Joe Kiely coming in 7th with the bunch. Sammy Gage was 12th and Ben Griffin 16th.
Jenna Miles was also third in the U14 girls which is a fantastic result in only her second U14 race.
Finally, the four race Milton Keynes series has now been completed – Ollie Stockwell won the under 14 boys group and Will Raymond won the under 16 series.


(Reuters) – French military aircraft are carrying out surveillance missions to help countries bordering Nigeria tackle Boko Haram militants, officials said on Tuesday, amid efforts by African countries to coordinate a response to the threat posed by the group.
The African Union (AU) has authorized a force of 7,500 troops from Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Benin to fight the militants. It is expected to seek a United Nations Security Council mandate, which could also include logistical support from other countries.
The source added intelligence was being given to Chadian forces currently fighting Boko Haram on the Cameroon and Nigeria border region.
Since then there has been no official comment on any French operations in the country.
France has headquartered its 3,200-strong Sahel counter-insurgency force, Barkhane, in the Chadian capital N'Djamena, some 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the Nigerian border. It has fighter jets based there and in Niger, where it also has surveillance drones.

Venture This: Would You Invest in Barstool Sports?
Would you invest in Barstool Sports?
By Neal Freyman
@neal_freyman |
In 2003, Dave Portnoy was handing out his sports-themed newspaper for free at Boston train stops. Today, he's the president (or "El pres") of that same company…now a digital media force: Barstool Sports.
Barstool's upside
It has a loyal base that verges on a cult-like following. "Stoolies," as the company's fans are known, will buy just about anything Barstool puts out, from t-shirts mocking NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to an obscure amateur boxing PPV in West Virginia (41,000 people paid to watch).
And what started out as a ragtag group of male bloggers has gained legitimacy in recent years. Erika Nardini, the former CMO of AOL, joined as CEO in 2016. And media bigshot Peter Chernin clearly sees a winner. He's invested $25 million in Barstool (owns 51%), most recently at a ~$100 million valuation.
But it's a lightning rod for controversy
When media brands are gingerly trying to toe the line of being "PC," Barstool is blowing right past it. Much of its content has come under fire for being sexist, specifically.
And the unending controversies have cost the company $$$. ESPN pulled the plug on a partnership after just one episode because it "erred in assuming we could distance our efforts from the Barstool site and its content."
Which makes you wonder: just how many buttons can Barstool push till it pops?
We want to hear from you. Are you IN or OUT on Barstool. Vote here.
If you want to learn more about the future of food, we got you covered
But the seafood industry is also ripe for scientific disruption

Discussion in 'Saltwater Fish Disease' started by nate21887, Apr 11, 2010.
my tank is fairly new, little over a month now. im not sure of my water parameters im getting it tested today, but anyway i have five green chromis and they are developing redish/pink spots that look like sores, do they have a fish disease i havent read about? i know when the light is off they retreat down into my live rock is it possible they may have just rubbed a few scales off?
I'm not a salt tank keeper but I'm sure once you post your readings/water parameters it will give others more to go on.
Hi there, not sure what size tank you have them in, but if it is a small tank it could be due to the ammonia and nitrites. Sort of like a bacterial infection, or sort oflike a burn. If that tank is big enough, than it cold still be a bacterial infection.
my tank is 120 gallons, i took my water to a LFS to be tested and it came back, ammonia-0, nitrate-5ppm, nitrite-.5ppm, pH-8.4. this test was on the 11th so everything should be coming down be now, they had no idea to as what it might be?
Without any pictures, I would opt out for a bacterial infection.
how long have they been in there ?? where they used to cycle the tank ?? have all of them got it ???
ok the tank was fairly new but i bought everything cured or live for the tank. the fish dont seem to be bothered, they are very active and eat great so i guess not to be worried to much but yes all of them have a spot or two.

Very latest GPUs can use their ram as a cache of all CPU RAM so you can render whatever fit in your CPU ram but it something requiring hardware support (and the GTX660 doesn't). This feature works with any software (it is like CPU virtual memory where is the OS doing all the job of swapping on disk the RAM).
Some software directly support "out of core" rendering but it is a very complex (and slow) feature.
P.S. some software claims to support "out of core" rendering but it is just the hardware feature I described.


Torque testing of PET bottle closures is performed to identify the torque required to open a closed cap. Systematic testing informs line managers that their capping machines are applying sufficient torque to produce the necessary degree of seal - but not excessive torque, which would make opening difficult.
Following slip (initial break) torque, the cap's bridges do not break and the cap spins around the thread but is not separable from the bottle, resulting in a bottle whose cap is unscrewed but still attached.
When closure torque is applied, the lid or cap does not bind to the thread and come to rest creating a tight seal, but continues to travel. The cap spins around the thread and returns to its state prior to tightening. Subsequent tightening results in the same.
Testing closure torque alerts managers to such problems, saving costs resulting from waste, downtime, and returns.
An acceptable torque range is defined by registering minimum and maximum torque values (1 and 1.5 N, for example) on the Orbis. For enclosure opening tests, counter clockwise is specified (clockwise if measuring tightening torque).
The user places the bottle on the platen, then winds in the pegs to grip it securely. This prevents the bottle rather than the cap rotating when torque is applied.
The user zeros the display to cancel any torque detected during placement of the bottle, and then twists the cap in a counter-clockwise direction as if opening the bottle normally.
The Orbis detects the peak torque and reports this as the torque required to open the container. If this reading is between the minimum and maximum, the sample passes. If the torque required to open the container is outside the specified range (i.e. above the maximum or below the minimum), the sample fails. The torque reading will reveal if insufficient or excessive torque was applied by the capping machines. If several samples fail, a production line supervisor would call a technician to increase or decrease the torque exerted by the capping machines.
The Tornado torque tester is capable of all the functions of the Orbis, but has an additional, vital function: tamper evident testing.
Tamper-evident closures are a standard quality feature of beverage bottles and containers of other liquids that would degrade if adulterated or exposed. Tamper-evident closures consist of two parts - a cap and a band, which are connected by a "bridge" of regularly spaced, fine plastic tags. The content of a bottle that is capped with a tamper-evident closure can be accessed only if the cap is fully rotated counter clockwise (i.e. opened). This rotation will snap the bridge, resulting in separation of cap from band. A broken bridge provides visible evidence of prior opening or tampering.
To measure the torque required to breach a tamper-evident closure, the Tornado takes two peak torque readings: "slip torque", which is the first and normally higher reading, and "bridge torque", which is the second, normally lower reading. Slip torque identifies the torque required to initiate rotation of the cap around the thread of the bottle. Bridge torque identifies the torque required to initiate rupturing of the bridge. The Tornado can be easily configured to report these two torque readings.
The bottle is placed on the platen and the user winds in the pegs to grip the bottle securely.
To cancel any torque reading resulting from bottle placement, the user zeros (resets) the Tornado.
The user then twists the cap and continues rotating it until the bridge is broken.
The first and second peak torques appear on the Tornado's display and identify slip and bridge torque respectively.
The tamper-evident test reveals whether or not the cap can be removed and the bridge broken using pre-specified torque. Testing slip and bridge torque informs the bottlers that their product is leaving the production line properly sealed for integrity and consumer safety.
A Vortex-xt (pictured) motorized tester can provide much more sophisticated torque testing of container lids and caps. The Vortex-xt can output torque data in realtime to its touchscreen display/interface (Vortex-xt) or to a computer, where data can be displayed as a graph. Data and tests can be stored on the touchscreen or a computer for future retrieval. Test results can be overlaid for purposes of comparison. The grips and motorized rotation provide far greater sample stability and uniformity of torque, creating higher accuracy of results and reducing the influence of the variables that occur with manual, handheld testing.

Q: Regex to capture VBA comments I'm trying to capture VBA comments. I have the following so far
'[^";]+\Z

Which captures anything that starts with a single quote but not contain any double quotes until end of string. i.e. it will not match single quotes within a double quote string.
dim s as string        ' a string variable   -- works
s = "the cat's hat"    ' quote within string -- works

But fails if the comment contains a double quote string
i.e.
dim s as string ' string should be set to "ten"

How can I fix my regex to handle that too?

A: The pattern in @Jeff Wurz's comment (^\'[^\r\n]+$|''[^\r\n]+$) doesn't even match any of your test samples, and the linked question is useless, the regex in there will only match that specific comment in the OP's question, not "the VBA comment syntax".
The regex you have come up with works even better than what I had when I gave up the regex approach.
Well done!
The problem is that you can't parse VBA comments with a regex.
In Lexers vs Parsers, @SasQ's answer does a good job at explaining Chomsky's grammar levels:

Level 3: Regular grammars
They use regular expressions, that is, they can consist only of the
  symbols of alphabet (a,b), their concatenations (ab,aba,bbb etd.), or
  alternatives (e.g. a|b). They can be implemented as finite state
  automata (FSA), like NFA (Nondeterministic Finite Automaton) or better
  DFA (Deterministic Finite Automaton). Regular grammars can't handle
  with nested syntax, e.g. properly nested/matched parentheses
  (()()(()())), nested HTML/BBcode tags, nested blocks etc. It's because
  state automata to deal with it should have to have infinitely many
  states to handle infinitely many nesting levels.
Level 2: Context-free grammars
They can have nested, recursive, self-similar branches in their syntax
  trees, so they can handle with nested structures well. They can be
  implemented as state automaton with stack. This stack is used to
  represent the nesting level of the syntax. In practice, they're
  usually implemented as a top-down, recursive-descent parser which uses
  machine's procedure call stack to track the nesting level, and use
  recursively called procedures/functions for every non-terminal symbol
  in their syntax. But they can't handle with a context-sensitive
  syntax. E.g. when you have an expression x+3 and in one context this x
  could be a name of a variable, and in other context it could be a name
  of a function etc.
Level 1: Context-sensitive grammars

Regular Expressions simply aren't the appropriate tool for solving this problem, because whenever there's more than a single quote (/apostrophe), or when double quotes are involved, you need to figure out whether the left-most apostrophe in the code line is inside double quotes, and if it is, then you need to match the double quotes and find the left-most apostrophe after the closing double quote - actually, the left-most apostrophe that isn't part of a string literal, is your comment marker.
My understanding is that VBA comment syntax is a context-sensitive grammar (level 1), because the apostrophe is only your marker if it's not part of a string literal, and to figure out whether an apostrophe is part of a string literal, the easiest is probably to walk your string left to right and to toggle some IsInsideQuote flag as you encounter double-quotes... but only if they're not escaped (doubled-up). Actually you don't even check to see if there's an apostrophe inside the string litereal: you just keep walking until open quotes are closed, and only when the "in-quotes flag" is False you found a comment marker if you encounter a single quote.
Good luck!

Here's a test case you're missing:
s = "abc'def ""xyz""'nutz!" 'string with apostrophes and escaped double quotes

If you don't care about capturing the string literals, you can simply ignore the escaped double quotes and see 3 string literals here: "abc'def ", "xyz" and "'nutz!".

This C# code outputs 'string with apostrophes and escaped double quotes (all in-string double quotes are escaped with a backslash in the code), and works with all the test strings I gave it:
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var instruction = "s = \"abc'def \"\"xyz\"\"'nutz!\" 'string with apostrophes and escaped double quotes";
        // var instruction = "s = \"the cat's hat\"    ' quote within string -- works";
        // var instruction = "dim s as string ' string should be set to \"ten\"";

        int? commentStart = null;

        var isInsideQuotes = false;
        for (var i = 0; i < instruction.Length; i++)
        {
            if (instruction[i] == '"')
            {
                isInsideQuotes = !isInsideQuotes;
            }

            if (!isInsideQuotes && instruction[i] == '\'')
            {
                commentStart = i;
                break;
            }
        }

        if (commentStart.HasValue)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(instruction.Substring(commentStart.Value));
        }

        Console.ReadLine();
    }

Then if you want to capture all legal comments, you need to handle the legacy Rem keyword, and consider line continuations:
Rem this is a legal comment
' this _
    is also _
    a legal comment

In other words, \r\n in itself isn't enough to correctly identify all end-of-statement tokens.
A proper lexer+parser seems the only way to capture all comments.

Keep track of your important belongings when traveling. Carry your handbag tucked securely under your arm. Avoid toting bags that have easily-accessible zipper closures, especially if you will be in very crowded areas. You should keep these things in mind when trying to find a travel bag that will be reliable for you.
Always remember to tip housekeepers and bellboys. Standard tips are generally $1 for each piece of luggage, and $2-$5 for the housekeeper each day of your stay. If you treat the staff well, then they will treat you well.
Make sure you are organized well. Don't have the hassle of searching for travel essentials for every trip. You want to get yourself a plastic bin so that you can organize all your travel stuff. A container is great for storing many different objects.
Include identification on the inside and outside of your bags. A luggage tag on the exterior of luggage is easily lost in transit. In case your luggage is lost and tag-less, be sure to put identification information inside the bag so that it can be identified and returned to you promptly.
Take the time to subscribe to e-newsletters of major airlines. You will be notified of discounts, special deals and last-minute offers. Yes, they will fill your inbox more, but the rewards and savings can be worth it.
Make your trip green by using eco-friendly services. You can find many hotels that use the go green philosophy, there you will find lighting that is energy efficient, recycling bins, reusable linens and other additional healthy environmental items. Tour companies, care rental agencies, and other services are also implementing ways to be environmentally responsible.
When you are on a cruise, you should interact with others while you are at dinner. Most of the time on cruises, you will be with several couples. Chat with new people and enjoy yourself. Making new friends can be great on cruises, since you will be seeing them everyday during your trip.
Try to take different transportation. Many bus lines have package deals to make it even easier. Buses are often inexpensive, clean and convenient methods of travel. There are package deals available, which make the trip easy to plan, too.
If you experience difficulties, it is easy to become frustrated. You may end up with a cancelled flight or a non-existent rental car. Talk directly to the agent to reduce your stress level. Even though things start out civil, one of you can easily lose patience. Remain calm and polite. Staying relaxed allows you to get more things accomplished, so you can enjoy your trip.
Keep flight delays to a minimum by booking a flight as early in the morning as you can. Because flights are often full, delays in one plane can cause a domino effect as the gates become crowded. Thus, the earliest flights will suffer from the fewest back-ups.
Exchanging currency will be very costly if you do it abroad. You can get a better exchange rate at home. Try getting foreign currency at an ATM using your debit card. These machines will usually have the best exchange rate available.
You need to allow time for breaks on your trip, so don't schedule yourself too tightly. Allow time for extra bathroom breaks or photo opportunities. This can also prevent whiny or grumpy travelers on your trip.
Be honest when you take out travel insurance. Obviously, if you become sick, let the insurance provider know. If your condition worsens while traveling, your travel insurance may deny your claim because it is considered pre-existing. If not, you may have to pay for the bill.
Be sure you are allotting enough check out time when you're departing your hotel. You do not want to be charged extra for not leaving on time. Always check out with plenty of time.
Speak to the airline to find out what are their baggage weight limits along with carry on policy. Many airlines will allow a small carry-on along with a purse, laptop bag or other personal bag. Use this to your advantage so that you keep all your important items together and on your person.
We hope these tips have excited your desire to travel. You now know a lot of new ways to explore and discover the world. This can help you gather new experiences as well. Make your next vacation an enjoyable experience.


We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month which is often close to the SLU3A News publication day, so to provide more preparation time here are the themes for the next 3 months. In October "Fall", November "Flowers" and December "Trees, Woods and Forests". Our poem choices can connect with these subjects directly or obliquely so enjoy your poem hunting or writing and come and join us at 2pm in the Lounge of the Congregational Church.

Florida Settles Long-Running Case Over Children's Medicaid
By Mary Caffrey
The lawsuit, brought in 2005, took a turn in 2014 when a federal judge ordered the state to reach an agreement with the plaintiffs after finding the Florida failed to provide adequate healthcare to poor children.
A decade-old class-action lawsuit brought on behalf of 2 million children who depend on Florida's Medicaid system for care has been settled, with an agreement that agencies responsible for running the system continue to improve medical and dental care—including raising reimbursement rates to Medicare equivalents.
The settlement to the suit, brought by the Florida chapters of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Academy of Dentistry, the Public Interest Law Center and the powerful law firm Boies Schiller & Flexner LLP, calls for raising the state's healthcare standards for its poorest citizens over several years. An agreement was announced Tuesday and must be approved by the federal court where the suit was filed.
First brought in 2005, the suit charged that Florida Medicaid reimbursements were so low they fell short of federal standards and discouraged doctors from seeing patients, leaving children in harm's way. In 2014, after a 90-day trial, a federal judge ordered the state to settle with the plaintiffs after finding it failed to create an adequate health system for children on Medicaid.
The incidents presented at trial were horrific: children who went years without seeing a doctor; 80% of the children in Medicaid had never seen a dentist; a child referred to a pulmonologist who waited more than 3 months for an appointment. One child who needed lead testing was told to go to a laboratory that was a 3-hour bus ride from home. Attorneys for the state argued at trial that Medicaid had made improvements in the years since the case was field, but the judge was unmoved.
The settlement also requires the state to pay $12 million in legal fees to the firms and parents of the families that brought the suit.
According to a statement from the plaintiffs, the settlement provides for the following:
Board-certified physicians must have a chance to earn Medicaid-equivalent reimbursements starting October 1, 2016. This will result in an immediate boost in pay for those accept Medicaid clients and should attract more physicians to the system.
Pay incentives will increase over time for specialists.
The Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration, which administers Medicaid, must meet national averages for children receiving preventive care by 2019.
AHCA must take steps to put get Florida Medicaid to national norms for preventive dental care by 2021.
Florida must reach out and find children eligible for preventive care through Medicaid who are not receiving it and enroll them in programs. The state must get rid of administrative barriers to children and families seeking care.
"This settlement is a significant step forward in improving access to medical care for the two million Florida children on Medicaid," said Tommy Schechtman, MD, president of the Florida chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. "We look forward to this new collaborative relationship with Florida's state agencies to ensure all Florida children obtain the quality health care they need and deserve."
Eric Berry, DDS, president of the Florida chapter of the American Academy of Dentistry, said: "The Academy is pleased that the mediated settlement of the lawsuit will create an opportunity for improved access for the children at highest risk for dental disease and that the hope for these improvements will not be delayed any further."
In their statement, the plaintiffs acknowledged that Florida had begun making improvements which they hope will continue. "The proposed settlement is based upon utilizing efficiencies in the managed care system to generate financial savings which will be directed into further improvements in children's medical care," the statement from the Public Interest Law Center said.

Hrishikesh Hirway Is Moving Into the Spotlight
Words by Maya McCoy
Tags: New Music
In July 2020, when the pandemic was raging, and the uprisings were ongoing, Hrishikesh Hirway was missing his friends and family. Stuck at home with his wife and small dog, he expressed a yearning that struck a chord across the internet, tweeting, "I woke up with a small, specific sadness: I miss being on a trip with family or friends and waking up to the murmuring sound of other people, already awake, having a conversation in the kitchen in the morning."
The tweet blew up — Hirway's ability to condense so much feeling into the description of a simple sound allowed him to name a longing that others were feeling but hadn't put into words for themselves.
Hirway has made a career guiding people through sounds, specifically songs, about which they feel deeply. His podcast, Song Exploder, which started in 2014, breaks songs into individual layers and gives artists the chance to tell the story of their creation, from the initial concept to final production. Song Exploder became a hit for music fans around the world and eventually was adapted to Netflix in 2020. But while Hirway's careful consideration of others' artistic journeys gained him a name as a podcaster, he is also a musician in his own right.
In the past six months, Hirway has released the first music he's ever put out under his own name, since he started songwriting in late high school. He dropped the track "Home" early this year, featuring singer Jay Som. The song opens up some of the feelings that surfaced for him during the lockdown, like the one in that tweet.
"I probably can't put too much emphasis on the pandemic and being at home for so long. It made me acutely aware of this place that sometimes I was frustrated by, or sometimes I took for granted, the house that we lived in," he told Kajal.
The track digs into the dichotomy between disappointment and gratitude that Hirway felt for his home during those lockdown months, and into the ways in which his home reflected and transformed his relationship with his wife. (As for the layer of the song he most wants people to hone in on, Song Exploder-style: it's the drums.)
This track isn't the first art Hirway has put out that is centered around a concept of home. The song he released in late 2021, "Between There and Here," was inspired by a dream he had of his mother, weeks after her funeral. He co-directed the music video in which the interior of a home is illustrated and illuminated by his mother's silhouette.
Although Hirway never felt able to fully discuss his music career with his parents, he sometimes caught his mother humming his songs. That's where the song "Between There and Here" came from, with Yo-Yo Ma playing cello in place of his mother's hums. When asked about his mother, he speaks of the small ways she showed her support, including a time he played the Chicago punk venue the Fireside Bowl and his mom came to support, wearing her best sari.
The feelings his mother cultivated in his childhood home are ones he hopes to recreate in his adult life. In reflecting on the home his parents created for him, he spoke about Friday nights with friends watching movies, cuddling together on the sectional couch, eating his mother's nachos. "I was really comforted," he said, "I think that's the thing I'm always trying to get back to now."

These two songs, "Home" and "Between There and Here," are the first off a forthcoming EP and mark a shift away from a creative block Hirway was experiencing when he first began Song Exploder. Despite a desire to make a podcast that allowed others to witness the messiness of creation and feel empowered to create on their own, Hirway often could not get over the voice in his head that said, "I'm starting this, but it's already not good and it's never going to be as good as any of the artists who end up on Song Exploder."
This scrutiny is something that comes up again when Hirway talks about the adaptation of Song Exploder to Netflix. As opposed to the podcast, where the interviews are edited to not include Hirway's questioning, Hirway is a visible part of the conversations in the show. This, he says, was a battle he lost–he would have preferred to remain out of sight.
"It introduced a whole new onslaught of self-consciousness," he said.
He also is anticipating a tour with Jenny Owen Youngs in which he will play his first shows in almost a decade. This, too, inspires nerves around sharing his own creations and his own voice with others, the tone of "Will anyone think this is good?" creeping back into the conversation.
Self-scrutiny is something that Hirway has slowly overcome through collaboration. His collaborators, he said, including Jenny Owen Youngs and John Mark Nelson, helped him to protect his ideas from his own over-analysis. Turning to collaborators was a lesson he learned from artists on Song Exploder, who often had similar stories about the benefits of bouncing an idea off another person.
The subjects of his songs — the first two being deeply rooted in close relationships, one to his mother and the other to his wife–also drew some inspiration from his podcast. Through listening to artists like Clairo, Arlo Parks, and Lucy Dacus speak about songs that drew from deep friendships, Hirway decided he wanted his own work to do something similar.
"You felt the relationship of the artist to the other person so palpably, even though it's just a song where you hear their voice," he said. "I wanted to write about other people…to write something that felt really personal would be to write about the people who were closest to me."
When asked how he keeps going after hundreds of similar interviews with artists, he described his creation process as one of manifesting his daydreams, of pulling at the threads of his curiosities until he can share them with others. Before, those curiosities sometimes threw him off balance to the point where he forgot his own voice, but now, he is striking a balance between accepting the spotlight and digging in behind the scenes.
Hirway's heart remains in sharing life's small specificities with the world — whether through broadcasting a feeling upon waking, breaking down a layer of a song that preoccupies him, or singing a melody he's spent hours perfecting.

Love the idea.. Can barely get my tires off the original Envy M70s I'm running as it is.. Took me a half hour the first time. If I put these in there, I'd never get the tire off again.. dig the concept though.
Good stuff! A shame that POC didn't get an entry in.. Their VPD 2.0 pads are fantastic.
And people worry about rock strikes.. Look at the beating it took!
This offering is just okay, only gets GR7.. leaving room for the next model, which should will hopefully be GR8.
Considering they were on 27.5" front triangles with modified rear and links to fit 29" wheels last year.. Seems logical to be testing a dedicated 29" front triangle, eh?
I'm curious.. If you didn't have any issues flatting, then what pressures did you end up running? with WT EXO Maxxxis Fr/Rr, I landed on 22/27 after flatting at 20/25 with the old M70. So, curious if you ended up lower, because you could..
Also, would you trade the rim strip for a lighter wheel with a CushCore insert to go lower and reduce squirm?
what were you on before? I've been a DHF / DHR2 guy for a long time.. This look good front or rear.
We are used to riding by trees, but the stumps look kind of sketchy to me. not sure why. just a shorter tree!

Michael Buble is Touring Near You
Best Time to Buy Michael Bublé Tickets
There is always a chance Grammy winner Michael Bublé will return to live touring so you should be on the lookout. In this quick look at Michael, we will cover some of the history of his career, how you can get the best seats, and what you should consider before buying tickets.
Listed right below are the upcoming concert dates you need to consider. Should this be a downtime for Michael you will most likely not see anything listed. Should he have a popup event or tour in the making the immediate space below will be filled with venues he'll be playing. If you don't see an event below near you, go ahead and select the load more button for every future event scheduled.
There were no events found for Michael Buble.
"Don't Believe the Rumors" is Bublé's first tour since 2016, when he retired from the music scene to privately take care of his family and son Noah, who was diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately, the cancer is currently in remission.
Tickets for future tours and for every full-priced ticket will be listed above when they go on presale or even on sale.
The musician's new album – the 11th studio one – has been released and the same day Bublé received a Star on the "Hollywood Walk of Fame". Two songs have already been released from this album – "Love You Anymore" – co-produced by David Foster and co-written by Charlie Puth, who provides also the backing vocals for the song, and "When I Fall in Love", a song that mixes with craftsmanship the strings with the singer's amazing voice.
"Love" is an album that brings back to fans "the old" Michael Bublé style: smooth, rich voice accompanied by a symphony of instruments that can set the mood for both slow and upbeat songs. Although it's an album mainly with covers of famous songs, Bublé succeeds also this time to differentiate himself from the fellow musicians that performed these songs before him. The flexibility of his voice is completely harmonized with the pop style of these reinterpreted songs. "My Funny Valentine" is proof that Bublé did not intend, in this album, to sing the songs the way they were done before, but to grant them a new, modern flavor even if that approach could be called a bit drastic by some of the original version's fans.
The ballad "Forever Now" is a new song, written by Michael and since he wrote it, he put all his sincerity into it, which is something worth admiring. All throughout the album, the musician maintains an alternation between slower and faster tracks and that is quite catchy for the fans. With a highly energetic band supporting his voice, the musician turns "Such a Night", written by Lincoln Chase, into a delightful rock/R&B vintage beat track. The album features also two duets: one with Cécile McLorin Salvant and the other one with Loren Allred. The jazz vocalist Cécile McLorin's voice creates magical chemistry with the high-level voice of Michael Bublé, the chemistry that perfectly transmits the emotion of the everlasting "La Vie en Rose" hit. In Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the Night", Loren Allred from "The Greatest Showman" grants the duet the artistic contrast it needs to become an unforgettable cover. For Irving Gordon's "Unforgettable", Bublé doesn't need to do anything out of the ordinary, as the strings, his voice, and the musical line of the original song are all it takes to maintain this as an incredibly beautiful song.
Bottom line: either if he's completely reinventing, going out of the box, or keeping the original influences of the songs he sings, Michael Bublé delivers a rich voice-emotional-smooth vocals album, whose most important feature is the consistency of his style and musical path.
Michael Bublé was born on the 09th of September 1975 in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. Since his father was gone for most of the time at sea, his mother and his grandfather were his main caretakers. His grandfather, Demetrio Santanga, had an impressive collection of vinyl records, and that represented the starting point for young Michael's passion for music and soul and jazz music in particular. Listening to incredible talents like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Tony Bennett determined Michael enter a local talent contest. Only participants who were 18 were allowed to take part in the contest, so when the organizer, Bev Delich, discovered that Michael was actually 17, she was forced to disqualify him. However, since Michael's voice was really impressive, she suggested to he enter the "British Columbia Youth Talent Search" contest. He did, he won the contest and so he received the chance to record his first independent CD, with the help of Delich. His grandfather continued to support Michael in his musical path by offering free plumbing service to anyone who would allow Michael to sing at events, so his grandson became a regular performer at the local venues.
His big break came when he met David Foster, a famous music executive, and producer. This happened in 2000 when Prime Minister Brian Mulrone invited Michael to sing at his daughter's wedding after he had listened to his independent album. So, with the help of Foster, Bublé released 2003 his first major album. It reached No. 1 in Australia, and the Top 10 in the UK, and received platinum certification in several countries. By the end of that year, Michael completed a tour and released a Christmas album called "Let It, Snow". In 2004, he won "Best New Talent" at "Juno Awards" and released the album "It's Time", which sold millions of copies all over the world and stayed on the Billboard Jazz charts for two years. The "Call Me Irresponsible" album, released in 2007, debuted at No. 3 on the Canadian charts and got Michael one more award – the Grammy for "Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album".
Bublé began to explore new grounds: the album "Crazy Love", released in 2009, featured duets with Ron Sexsmith and Sharon Jones, the 2010 holiday album "Christmas" featured duets with the Mexican singer Thalia and Shania Twain, while the 2013 "To Be Loved" pop songs album featured a duet with the actress Reese Witherspoon.
As for personal life, Bublé is married since March 2011 to Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato. They have two sons – Noah, born in 2013, and Elias, born in 2016, and a daughter, Amber Betty, born in July 2018
Michael Bublé enjoys increasing popularity among the fans and the appraisal of the music industry's fellowmen. The millions of albums sold so far and the awards won confirm that his beautiful voice, his state-of-the-art performance, and his appeal for classic songs represent the ingredients of a successful recipe.
Whether there is a tour or just a show we are here to help you get the best seats. There will be limited time to get those seats that really make it worth it. If you miss out on those particular tickets be sure to figure out a budget that will help you get the best Michael Buble seat. Check back often for any deals we may have available for you.
