so apprarently she's got a new album on the way."Like Sugar" is the first single.The song is nice,but is that the regular version or a remix?
I've heard a snippet of the Switch remix on the BBC's website. What's heard on the podcast is not that mix. So by process of elimination, I'd say it is the extended mix. But I presume that was not the song in its entirety. The way it's structured leads me to believe the DJ did not play the record straight through and did some editing or cutting up. Someone was selling a copy of the vinyl single on Discogs for $268 but it's no longer on there. I love Chaka and want that record but I ain't got it like that.

I doubt if there is a new album on the way. She has had a couple of single releases over the past few years with a promise of an album to follow that have never surfaced. Never trust an album release from C.K. until you see it for pre-order.

Switch/Dave Taylor is a great producer, he was 1/2 of Major Lazer with Diplo for their first album. This is an interesting pair. I loooove his tunes "Gotta Get Down" and "A Bit Patchy"
if it was just a dream, call me a dreamer 2

Wasn't familiar with his name but have heard some of his writing and production work for others. Actually, when I saw the Twitter posting for "Like Sugar" I immediately thought it was a collaboration with the '70s r&b band Switch. Checking out the Major Lazer album now. Is "Gotta Get Down" a Switch or Major Lazer song? I can't find it anywhere.

Gotta Get UP LOL!! I bet you gotta get down too. The tune is by Switch/Taylor as Solid Groove with his co-hort DJ/producer Sinden. Solid Groove was how I was introduced to Mr. Taylor prior to his Switch days. From what I understand he recorded under other aliases too.
Here's one of my fave Mary J. Blige remixes by Mr. Taylor as "A. Brucker" with Sinden:
Switch & Sinden released a DJ mix for the fabric series as well:

Maybe they saw us yakkin' WHATUP SWITCH AND CK? Can't wait to hear the tune.
OK...I get this is geared toward the clubs and dance radio. We've gotten a main version, an extended version, and a remix. I'm very familiar with and am a fan of music that emphasizes groove and atmosphere over all else. But the main version itself feels like a remix/dub/edit of a more fleshed out, expansive musical piece? Like I'm waiting for a middle section and ending that never comes. The remix has some vocalizing that's omitted from the other versions which makes me believe there's more to this song than what we've been given. I like it. But I'm so confused.

Question: is there a "regular" version of this song? I mean a version that is NOT a remix?
I wanna crawl into that groove and hang out for like twenty minutes, seriously. I was hoping for some guitar in there but I'm loving what I am hearing. This is a headphones track for sure.
Switch's remix is great too, Googling taught me that MJ Cole played this remix on BBC radio which I can totally see as the remix is right up his alley. This is a funk crossover bid for EDM heads and I loves it.
on Chaka's Facebook page,she says this new song is "the first single from my upcoming new album".
Is Island doing anything to promote this song? If not, what's the point of going back to a "major" label?

Much better than "I Love Myself" and "It's Not Over" but still not classic Chaka.

Scientists, conservationists, and tribal leaders have listed many reasons why it's too soon to delist grizzlies and resume trophy hunting. Grizzlies reproduce slowly, for one. Another concern is connectivity: The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is essentially an island for grizzlies, beyond which lies an uncrossable sea of human-inhabited ranchland and subdivisions. This leaves the Yellowstone bears completely isolated. Grizzly recovery, Rice says, is less about reaching a certain target number of animals and more about connecting populations, allowing for genetic and demographic diversity to protect bears against serious threats like climate change and habitat loss.
The infamous Memorial Day weekend flood of 2015 changed Wimberley and its people. Hundreds of homes were destroyed. Twelve people lost their lives. The river seemed to betray those who populated its cypress-shaded banks, which also changed. The flood deforested much of the riverside — uprooting iconic bald cypresses, pecans, sycamores and leaving behind mangled earth and debris. In a single night, it seemed that the ideal Hill Country riverside house with its shaded and manicured riverbank had met its match: a riparian environment in flux.

In 2016, the Obama administration's interior secretary, Sally Jewell, ordered the USGS to collect data on greenhouse gas emissions associated with the extraction and burning of fossil fuels from federal lands.

In the last hours of Pruitt's tenure, the EPA announced that it would maintain a Clean Air Act loophole that allows Fitzgerald Glider Kits to keep building super-polluting trucks. Acting administrator Andrew Wheeler evidently has every intention of maintaining the loophole, essentially telling Fitzgerald to keep on trucking—no matter what it means for local air pollution.
The deadliest animal in the world is a miniscule flying insect that carries disease. Mosquitoes, which to many of us in the United States aren't much more than a backyard nuisance, transmit viruses like yellow fever, dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. These viruses can lead to symptoms like rash, vomiting, headaches, and even birth defects like microcephaly. Too often, they result in death. The World Health Organization estimates that mosquitoes account for the premature death of 720,000 people around the world each year.

Those miles span much of the American Great Plains, between Olbinski's home in Phoenix over to West Texas, and all the way up to the Dakotas or Montana. The dents come from the weather he chases. A mounted laptop with radar, GPS tracking, and weather models tells him where to go. "You have to go where the storms are," he says.

New Safe Water Fund Provides a Means for Socially-Minded Individuals and Organizations to Support Safe Water Projects Around the World
Fund will facilitate contributions by people seeking to assist victims of Ecuador earthquake
Lausanne, Switzerland, April 22 – LifeStraw has launched the LifeStraw Safe Water Fund to provide socially-minded individuals and organizations with a means to contribute to high-impact programs that provide access to safe water for developing communities, schools and people affected by natural disasters. The Fund is set up as an interactive online platform managed by the New Venture Fund, a 501-c3 public charity. Individuals and groups can support programs through tax-deductible contributions that go toward specific safe water programs they select.
The Fund capitalizes on the enormous power of individuals and organizations to drive change. It's being launched on Earth Day, an internationally recognized day aimed at increasing awareness about the responsibility we all have to contribute to a healthier, more sustainable planet. Contributors to the LifeStraw Safe Water Fund can make an impact by choosing to support the expansion of safe water programs in primary schools in Kenya or India or suggest a new safe water program for consideration.
Contributors can also help provide safe water to victims of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Ecuador last weekend. The Fund also facilitates partnerships between LifeStraw and like-minded companies and organizations to implement larger scale projects in communities around the world. All projects are implemented by the LifeStraw team or its partners, and utilize LifeStraw water purifiers that are independently tested by the World Health Organization. The company has vast experience with small and large-scale water technology distribution, emergency and implementation projects around the world.
All projects use sophisticated electronic monitoring platforms to track locations, usage and follow-up over time so contributors are able to witness the impact of their actions.
"The LifeStraw Safe Water Fund was created in response to requests from individuals and organizations who know and trust the LifeStraw brand and products, appreciate the impact of LifeStraw programs and want to help expand the reach of these safe water programs to people who need them," explained Alison Hill, Managing Director–Water, for the LifeStraw company. "They reach out to us often, asking how they can get more engaged in safe water solutions beyond the purchase of a product. This Fund provides them an opportunity to get involved," Hill added.
The LifeStraw Safe Water Fund is a project of the New Venture Fund, a 501-c3 public charity. The New Venture Fund has been supporting innovative and effective public interest projects since 2006. It offers an efficient, cost-effective, and transparent platform to launch and operate projects like the LifeStraw Safe Water Fund. Additionally, an external advisory board provides expert guidance to ensure projects are implemented and monitored in the most efficient way to achieve impact.

STRASBOURG, France — The Latest on Brexit (all times local):
The European Commission is warning Britain's Parliament that voting against Brexit happening without a withdrawal deal in place isn't enough and lawmakers must approve the deal, too.
An official from the EU's executive branch noted Wednesday that the bloc already reached a divorce deal with Prime Minister Theresa May and the House of Commons rejected it - twice.
The official asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the unresolved situation.
Parliament voted Wednesday night to reject leaving the EU as scheduled on March 29 if it hasn't approved an agreement.
The EU official said: "There are only two ways to leave the EU: with or without a deal. The EU is prepared for both. To take no deal off the table, it is not enough to vote against no deal - you have to agree to a deal."
—By Raf Casert.
British Prime Minister Theresa May says Parliament will vote Thursday on whether to seek a delay to Britain's March 29 departure from the European Union.
May said lawmakers are at the point where they must approve a withdrawal agreement in coming days and request a short postponement to Brexit day or request a "much longer" extension from the EU to negotiate a new arrangement.
The prime minister warned that a long extension would mean Britain would have to take part in European Parliament elections in late May.
She says this is not her preferred outcome and urged Parliament to "face up" to the consequences of the decisions it has made.
Britain's Parliament has voted to reject having the country leave the European Union without a divorce agreement, a decision that lessens but does not remove the chance of a chaotic "no-deal" Brexit.
The vote Wednesday night also increases the chances that Britain's exit from the bloc will be delayed.
British lawmakers voted 312 to 308 for a motion that "rejects the United Kingdom leaving the European Union without a Withdrawal Agreement and a Framework for the Future relationship."
The vote has political but not legal force. A no-deal Brexit could still happen unless Britain and the EU ratify a divorce agreement or Britain decides to cancel its departure.
British lawmakers now plan to vote Thursday on whether to ask the EU to delay the country's March 29 departure day.
Dutch authorities have demonstrated a digital system for completing customs forms that ferry terminals in the Netherlands are mandating to try to minimize disruptions following Brexit.
The system, called Portbase, was designed so freight haulers could fill out the forms online before they get to ferry terminals for trips to the U.K.
Managing Director Iwan van der Wolf said the system already is being used for destinations outside the European Union and now will be applied to the short trip between the Netherlands and the U.K.
He said Wednesday the online system "is already proven. It's in use, works very well and everybody's happy with it."
Dutch Overseas Trade Minister Sigrid Kaag says the Netherlands is well prepared for Brexit, but urged foreign transport companies to be ready for changes at Dutch ports.
French President Emmanuel Macron says the British Parliament's second rejection of Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit agreement with the European Union is "regrettable."
Macron, who was in Kenya's capital on Wednesday, said during a news conference that the EU spent months negotiating the deal and now only Britain can steer a course for leaving the bloc since "the solution to the current impasse is in London."
The French leader said EU negotiators would look at any request from the U.K. to postpone Brexit, which is set for March 29.
But Macron warned that the 27 remaining member countries wouldn't automatically agree to an extension.
He said the British government has "to explain to us what the point of it is, and in particular whether it adds anything."
The European Union has adopted contingency measures in case Britain leaves the bloc as scheduled on March 29 without a withdrawal deal in place, and the procedures would bring changes overnight to both sides of the English Channel.
The EU parliament approved the last of 11 such measures on Wednesday. They cover everything from air, port and road traffic to the status of foreign students. Some would require reciprocal measures in Britain.
Catherine Bearder, who represents southeast England in the European Parliament, used airline passengers as an example of the confusion a no-deal Brexit could create.
Bearder said: "If we're going to leave at midnight, they need to know: 'Can the planes take off the next day?' Whether their pilot's recognition is valid....That all of these things that actually make an airplane fly have to be recognized."
Belgian EU legislator Tom Vandenkendelaere described the alternate procedures as "the typical measures you would take in a state of emergency, and that are also only taken for a temporary, for a strict period in time with strict conditions as well."
British expats on Spain's Costa del Sol are fretting about what Brexit might entail for them, now that the U.K. Parliament has rejected the deal negotiated on their country's departure from the European Union.
Sitting in the sun outside a cafe in the town of La Cala de Mijas on Wednesday, 66-year-old retiree Kevin Fox said he was worried about his future public health care entitlements in the EU and how much his U.K. old-age pension would be worth.
When he moved to Spain 12 years ago, one pound sterling was worth 1.47 euros, he said. Now, he gets around 1.12 euros for each pound.
"I can't afford to stay here if they're not paying for my health care," Fox says, referring to a possible end of the current reciprocal care system between the U.K. and other EU countries.
Mick Robinson, an apartment owner in Spain for the past 13 years, says the current situation is "very worrying."
He says after the deal's defeat Tuesday, "It's even worse. We don't know what's going to happen."
The Spanish government says some 300,000 Britons are legally resident in Spain.
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz says any delay to Britain's departure from the European Union should be as short as possible, though he isn't specifying any date.
The Austria Press Agency reported that Kurz said he doesn't expect British lawmakers to vote Wednesday to leave without a deal March 29. He added that "if they do that, then there's no way to help them," but the damage to Britain would be much bigger than to Europe.
If a no-deal Brexit is voted down, British lawmakers will decide Thursday whether to request a delay to Brexit. Kurz wouldn't specify the length of any extension but said that "the shorter the phase by which we extend, the better." He said that, ideally, it would be a question of weeks and not months.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel isn't saying how long she thinks a possible delay to Brexit should be, arguing that it's up to the British Parliament first to provide direction on what happens next.
U.K. lawmakers are to vote Wednesday on whether Britain should leave the European Union March 29 with no deal. If it rejects that idea, it will vote Thursday on whether to delay its departure.
Merkel stressed Wednesday that "it is in our mutual interest that we achieve an orderly departure," though "the options have of course become fewer" after British lawmakers rejected the painstakingly negotiated EU divorce deal.
But she wouldn't be drawn on details of the next move. She said: "I will only say be able to say exactly what will happen next when I have seen the next two days with the British votes, which will perhaps give us a bit of direction on what direction we can think in."
The European Parliament's chief Brexit official says he wants to limit any Brexit deadline extension to a few months at best, fearing it will take over the whole European election campaign.
Guy Verhofstadt warned that the May 23-26 polls across the 27 remaining EU nations "will be hijacked by the Brexiteers and the whole Brexit issue" if the extension spills over past those days.
"We will talk only about that," he said.
The EU Commission has warned that if Britain were still a member at the time of the elections, it would be forced to organize polls to fill its seats in the European legislature.
Verhofstadt said that "the only thing we will do is give a new mandate to Mr. (Nigel) Farage," the UK lawmaker who has long campaigned in the European Parliament for Britain to leave.
Farage said that "I don't want me coming back here" and called for the EU to reject an extension and make sure the U.K. leaves on time.
The British prime minister who set the Brexit process in motion is warning that leaving the European Union without a deal would be disastrous for the U.K.
David Cameron told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he fully supports Prime Minister Theresa May's attempts to maintain a "close partnership" with Europe after Britain leaves the EU.
He says Parliament should vote to "rule out no-deal" and seek an extension to the March 29 deadline for Britain's departure.
Cameron resigned after failing to convince British voters to stay in the EU in the 2016 referendum. He called the referendum to settle an internal Conservative Party dispute but ended up losing his office.
He advises the prime minister to seek "partnership deals" within Parliament that might lead to a solution of the Brexit impasse.
Germany's economy minister says a decisive rejection of a no-deal Brexit by British lawmakers could be a "turning point" and create hope for millions.
The British Parliament will vote Wednesday on whether to leave the European Union without a deal March 29 after lawmakers on Tuesday voted down Prime Minister Theresa May's EU divorce agreement.
German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier tweeted: "After divisive debates & votes, today can become a turning point: Rejecting No-deal-Brexit by a large cross-party majority will unite millions in the U.K. & in Europe. Will create hope & solidarity."
He added: "Whatever you finally decide. Good luck dear friends!"
If a no-deal Brexit is rejected, lawmakers are due to vote Thursday on whether to delay Brexit.
Britain's government says it won't impose new checks and controls on goods at the Northern Ireland-Republic of Ireland border if the U.K. leaves the European Union without an agreement on future relations.
The policy is part of temporary tariff regime unveiled Wednesday to inform lawmakers who will vote later on whether to eliminate the possibility of a no-deal exit from the EU. The regime will last for up to 12 months.
As part of the plan, the government says there would be no tariffs on 87 percent of imports by value, a "modest liberalization" compared with current trade rules.
A mixture of tariffs and quotas will apply to beef, lamb, pork, poultry and some dairy "to support farmers and producers who have historically been protected through high EU tariffs."
The European Parliament's chief Brexit official has questioned whether a short extension of the March 29 Brexit deadline can be given if Britain doesn't emerge from its political chaos on the issue.
Guy Verhofstadt said that in the wake of the U.K. parliament's rejection of the Brexit deal, the European legislature had no reason to act on pushing back the deadline to avoid a chaotic British exit from the bloc.
Verhofstadt said that "I don't see reason to give any extension if first of all we don't know what the majority position is of the House of Commons."
He said that "we are waiting now for a proposal coming from London. It is now in London that they have to find a way out of this and break the deadlock."
The European Union's economic commissioner says the British parliament has squandered its last chance to secure a deal smoothing the way for Brexit.
Pierre Moscovici has told France-2 television that the EU has "done everything we could do" to reassure British lawmakers, who rejected British Prime Minister Theresa May's EU divorce deal for a second time Tuesday.
Moscovici said "the train has passed two times" and the EU will not renegotiate the deal before the scheduled Brexit date of March 29.
He left the door open to an eventual delay if the British request it, but only if there's a clear justification. He said the British have already said what they don't want, and now "it's up to the British to say what they want."
Moscovici said Tuesday's vote increases chances of a British departure that is "disorderly, brutal, like a cliff," including sudden new customs rules and trade chaos.
Germany's foreign minister says the U.K. Parliament's rejection of the Brexit deal negotiated on Britain's departure from the European Union was "reckless."
Heiko Maas says the EU made "far-reaching additional offers and assurances" at Britain's request this week.
In remarks released late Tuesday, Maas said the U.K. Parliament's decision to reject the deal "brings a no-deal scenario ever closer."
He added that "whoever rejects the agreement plays with the welfare of their citizens and the economy in a reckless way."
Maas said Germany is prepared "as best as possible for this worst possible case," though Germany hopes a disorderly Brexit can still be avoided in the coming 17 days.
The European Union's chief Brexit negotiator says Britain must finally get its act together as a chaotic no-deal departure from the bloc is little more than two weeks away.
Michel Barnier said Wednesday it was time for Westminster to change tack, after the U.K. parliament handed Prime Minister Theresa May another huge defeat on her freshly renegotiated Brexit deal.
Barnier said that "again the House of Commons says what it does not want. Now this impasse can only be solved in the U.K."
The EU parliament's Brexit group was meeting to assess the situation in Strasbourg, France before a plenary debate on the impasse.
British lawmakers rejected May's Brexit deal in a 391-242 vote on Tuesday night. Parliament will vote Wednesday on whether to leave the EU without a deal.

1979 PG Tips
In the 1930s Arthur Brooke of Brooke Bond launched PG Tips in the UK tea market under the name of Pre-Gest-Tee. The name implied that the tea could be drunk prior to food being digested. Grocers abbreviated it to PG.
After the Second World War, labelling regulations ruled out describing tea as aiding digestion—a property previously attributed to tea—and by 1950/1 the PG name was officially adopted. The company added "Tips" referring to the fact that only the tips (the top two leaves and bud) of the tea plants are used in the blend.
1979 Record Vacuum
Although effective, vacuum record cleaning machines have been quite expensive. In the late '70s the Keith Monks machine from Britain was introduced, making it the first of the vacuum machines to appear. However, selling at over $2500.00, it was beyond the reach of most audiophiles. In 1980 Harry Weisfeld at VPI developed a low cost alternative to the Monks machine. His design employed a far simpler, yet equally effective, approach to the problem. This machine has been refined over the years into what is known today as the HW 16.5. Thousands have been sold world-wide, to a broad range of satisfied users. Individual collectors, audiophiles, music libraries, record stores and radio stations have all realized the practical benefits of owning such a machine.
1979 Paxo Stuffing
Paxo is a well-known brand of stuffing in the United Kingdom, currently owned by Premier Foods.
Paxo was devised in 1901 by John Crampton, a butcher from Eccles near Manchester, who wanted to have something extra to sell to his customers shopping for their Sunday lunch menus.
In the beginning sales growth of Paxo was slow because stuffing is mainly served with chickens, and poultry was then traditionally regarded as a luxury. As the price of chickens dropped and that of red meats rose in the 1950s and 1960s, Paxo's popularity grew.
At Christmas, the product is advertised with the slogan "Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the Paxo" (a play on the phrase "Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the Turkey").
Marathon was a bar consisting of eight inches of braided chocolate and caramel. It was manufactured by Mars Inc and first sold in the United States in August 1973. The bright red packaging contained a ruler with inch markings on the reverse demonstrating that it was as long as it claimed. (The length was the result of its braided shape; it did not weigh more than standard candy bars.) It was discontinued in October 1981. Note: There was also a 15″ version of The Marathon Bar sold in Southern California at local 7/11 stores and at Michael's Pharmacy in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. These had the 15″ ruler on the back of the red wrapper.
Television commercials of the era feature John Wayne's son Patrick as Marathon John who would regularly confront villain Quick Claude.
Another braided caramel and chocolate bar available from Cadbury is the Curly Wurly. While these are commonplace in their native UK (as well as Australia), aside from specialty import stores (andWorld Market) Curly Wurly bars are not widely available in the U.S.
1979 KP Discos
KP Snacks is a British producer of branded and own-label maize-, potato-, and nut-based snacks, "Choc Dips" and nuts. The KP originally stood forKenyon Produce. The company is based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England.
The company was founded in 1853 as Kenyon & Son as a producer of confectionery, jam and pickles. By 1891 the company had become Kenyon & Son and Craven Limited. The company switched to producing roasted and salted hazelnuts in 1948, expanding to peanuts later. These were originally produced for sale in cinemas. In 1952 the company introduced Hercules Nuts and in 1953 the No.1 KP Nuts peanut brand.

I poured a 12oz bottle into a tulip glass. It was bottled on 9/4/13 and cost $3.75 ($0.32 per ounce).
Appearance: Bright lemon skin-yellow hue. Opaque. Pours to a small, bright white, foamy head which mostly evaporates and leaves minor lacing on the glass.
Smell: The smell of summer: bright orange and lemon citrus, light spices, clean flowers and Belgian yeast esters.
Taste: There isn't much to say about Allagash White that hasn't been said about a lot of other witbiers. It's one of the better American examples of the style as it's tasty, robust, well-balanced and highly drinkable. This is exactly what I expect in a witbier.
Just like the aroma, the flavor here is a sweet and spicy mixture of orange citrus and light peppery notes. A clean, refreshing taste across the tongue with hints of lemonade or orange juice, but without any tartness or acidic character. The finish imparts subtle clove or black pepper seasonings. Not much in the way of bitterness or specific hop character, though that's fine because this is exactly to the style specifications. It's satisfying to be sure, though I can't help but wish it was a little bit more robust.
Drinkability: Allagash White is so damn refreshing it almost seems to do it a disservice drinking it in colder weather. The mouthfeel is rather full and energetic for what is technically a smaller bodied beer. Refreshing and crisp with a clean aftertaste - it's difficult to not quaff it all down at once. At only 5.1% ABV it's tempting to throw back several of these in a row.

After Major Race to Top Setback, Hawaii Ponders Next Steps
By Michele McNeil — January 24, 2012 1 min read
Fresh off a stunning blow to Hawaii's Race to the Top efforts, Gov. Neil Abercrombie pledged to make good on his state's education reform promises—with or without the help of the state teachers' union.
In his state of the state address yesterday, Gov. Abercrombie, a Democrat, promised that the state will adopt a new teacher-evaluation system that complies with its Race to the Top promises.
Last week, the state appeared to be making significant strides in getting itself out of the doghouse with the U.S. Department of Education, which had placed Hawaii on "high-risk status" and threatened to take away its $75 million award. The state and the governing board of the Hawaii State Teachers Association had reached a tentative agreement creating a new teacher-evaluation system based in part on student achievement, a key milestone that the state had missed, placing its award in jeopardy. But the rank-and-file members were not on board, and resoundingly rejected the contract.
"We wanted to cross the Race to the Top finish line side-by-side with the HSTA. Make no mistake we will cross that finish line," the governor said in his speech. "We will be using all management, administrative, legislative, and legal tools we have at our disposal to implement an evaluation system that not only measures, but achieves student growth; turns around low-performing schools; and supports teachers in increasing their effectiveness."
Does that mean we could be seeing strong legislation from Hawaii that would put such an evaluation system into law, rather than just putting it into a contract? That seems likely.
For Hawaii, the clock is ticking. The U.S. Department of Education plans to send a team to Hawaii to closely examine its Race to the Top progress. That visit is expected in late March, state officials said.
"Our goal is to have clear and compelling evidence for the U.S. DOE that shows we have the legal authority to implement these reforms," Stephen Schatz, the assistant superintendent for strategic reform at the Hawaii education department, said in an interview Jan. 23.

Vincent Kriechmayr, né le  à Linz, est un skieur alpin autrichien, spécialiste des épreuves de vitesse. Double champion du monde, il compte huit victoires en coupe du monde en super G et en descente. Il est co-médaillé d'argent en Super G lors des Championnats du monde 2019 puis médaillé de bronze deux jours plus tard en descente. Lors des Mondiaux 2021 à Cortina d'Ampezzo, il devient double champion du monde, devenant le troisième homme a réaliser le doublé super-G et descente. Il s'adjuge le petit globe de cristal du super-G au terme de la saison 2020-2021. Bien qu'au terme de la saison 2022-2023, Il termine dauphin d'Aleksander Aamodt Kilde au classement de la descente, c'est l'hiver où il gagne le plus de courses dans la discipline : quatre (Val Gardena,  Bormio, Kitzbühel et la course finale à Soldeu), mais il ne connait pas la réussite lors des Mondiaux de Courchevel-Méribel

Carrière

Premières années
Membre du club TVN Wels, Kriechmayr dispute ses premières courses FIS lors de la saison 2006-2007. Il doit attendre la saison 2009-2010 pour obtenir ses premiers résultats significatifs, gagnant le titre de champion d'Autriche junior en slalom géant. Il se classe quatrième juste après aux Championnats du monde junior. Cet hiver, il fait ses débuts en Coupe d'Europe et y marque ses premiers points.

Lors des Championnats du monde junior 2011, il est médaillé d'argent en slalom géant derrière Alexis Pinturault .
Il a pris son premier départ en Coupe du monde quelques semaines plus tôt à Alta Badia. Il obtient ses premiers résultats ensuite dans la Coupe d'Europe, gagnant sa première course en  et terminant troisième du classement général en 2013.

Premiers podiums en Coupe du monde
Il marque ses premiers points en Coupe du monde durant l'hiver 2013-2014, se classant notamment cinquième du super G de Kvitfjell. En , il se rapproche encore du podium avec sa quatrième place au super G de Val Gardena. Il obtient son premier podium trois mois plus tard en terminant deuxième du super G de Kvitfjell. Durant la saison 2016-2017, il monte sur deux nouveaux podiums en super G à Jeongseon et Kvitfjell, lui offrant le quatrième rang au classement de la spécialité. En 2017, il n'égale pas ces performances, mais est tout de même cinquième du super G des Championnats du monde 2017, son premier grand championnat.

Il démarre de manière dominante la saison 2017-2018, s'octroyant le super G de Beaver Creek, avant d'arracher son premier podium en descente à Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Il prend part à ses premiers Jeux olympiques durant cet hiver, se classant septième de la descente et sixième du super G. Le mois suivant, il conclut la saison comme il l'a commençée, gagnant les deux courses de vitesse des Finales d'Åre. Par conséquent, il rentre pour la première fois dans le top dix du classement général avec le septième rang et est deuxième en super G.

Montée en puissance
En 2019 et en 2020, il s'installe parmi les meilleurs spécialistes mondiaux de la vitesse, terminant deux fois deuxième du classement du super-G ainsi que troisième du classement descente en 2019. Mais c'est au cours de l'hiver 2020-2021 qu'il connait ses meilleurs résultats. Sa régularité en super-G, avec quatre podiums dont deux victoires, lui permet de s'adjuger son premier trophée de cristal : le petit globe de la discipline. Surtout, lors des Championnats du monde 2021 à Cortina d'Ampezzo, il remporte les médailles d'or du super-G et de la descente, un doublé dans les épreuves de vitesse masculines que seuls Hermann Maier (en 1999) et Bode Miller (en 2005) avaient réussi au Mondiaux avant lui. Il lutte aussi pour le petit globe de la descente, termine à la cinquième place du classement de la discipline derrière Beat Feuz et marque ses premiers points en slalom géant.

En janvier 2022, il remporte son premier succès de l'hiver à la descente de Wengen devant Beat Feuz et Dominik Paris et ce malgré n'a avoir pas pris part aux entraînements qui sont d'habitude obligatoires, mais du fait d'une erreur administrative après qu'il soit venu plus tard à la suite de son infection avec le virus de la covid, il est autorisé à concourir. Le mois suivant, il participe aux Jeux olympiques à Pékin, mais échoue de nouveau à remporter la moindre médaille, terminant huitième de la descente, puis cinquième du super G.

I wanted to share my favourite uttappa toppings ever since I'd shared making of uttappas on my Instagram story. These are not your usual toppings and I want you to try. This is my uncle's special uttappa, who is an absolute culinarian, no doubt. He loves experimenting with different ingredients (just like me) and always ends up making yummy dishes.
When I used to visit Pune, he used to make them for us cousins and serve hot on our plates. We used to eat so much! Countless number of uttappas. I especially remember watching IPL in one of the bedrooms, while eating uttappas. It's my favourite memory associated with them. We also started making such kind back here in Mumbai, and this kind is one of my favourite dishes!
All right, enough of nostalgia; let's jump into the ingredients needed!
1. After pouring the uttappa mixture (flour + water + salt) on pan, quickly sprinkle onions, coriander leaves, green chilies, and onion garlic masala on it.
2. Add butter on the uttappa, as well as towards the sides of it (so that it doesn't stick on the pan).
3. Serve on a plate.
This version of uttappa is a little different from the traditional uttappa. You can call it westernized or modernized. Whatever you wanna call it, I request you to try it out once!
What are your favourite uttappa toppings?

NEEDHAM TIMES
Tree, phone pole fall in storm; most of town loses power
Fifty-mile-an-hour winds during a lunchtime storm Friday knocked over a tree and a telephone pole on Greendale Avenue at around 1 p.m., causing three-quarters of the town to lose power, Needham Police said.
'We had a major outage. A transformer went down on Greendale between Cimino and Nevada. At the height of the storm, it shut down lights from Muzi Ford to the square,' said Needham Sgt. Richard Grudinskas.
By the time Grudinskas came on duty at 5 p.m., most of the lights were back on. But he said fixing the transformer would take all night.
In Needham Heights, Trader Joe's, Starbucks and the business plazas they're in lost power from about 1 to 6:45 p.m., said Trader Joe's clerk Dan Paquin.
'We were told the neighborhoods around here got power back a couple of hours earlier,' he said.
Residents said high winds also knocked out streetlights on Webster Street, but Grudinskas could not confirm that. He and Deputy Fire Chief Jim Benedict said there are no serious public safety concerns.
'The weather is warm and we really think this is going to be short-term,' Grundinskas said.
NSTAR spokesman Paul Connelly said heavy winds knocked down power lines in Needham and several other Metrowest communities.
'We serve about 1.4 million customers, but right now there's just 1,000 left without power,' he said at 7 p.m. Friday.
Connelly said NSTAR crews will be working through the night to restore power.
'There are no weekends for our employees,' he said.

Furlong all set to show skills at state
By Claire Miller Staff Writer
WOOSTER — It's been eight years since Wooster High has had a gymnast qualify for the state tournament in any event and an even longer stretch, 20 years to be exact, since a General gymnast advanced in the all-around.
But Rachel Furlong ended that drought last Saturday by qualifying out the Northeast District meet as an individual, both on beam and in the all-around.
Furlong, a sophomore, took second on the beam with a score of 9.225, only behind North Canton Hoover senior Madeline Berrey, the 2018 state champion in the event, and finished 11th in the all-around (36.050) to punch her ticket to compete in all four elements at Saturday's state tournament individual and all-around competition at Hilliard Bradley High School.
"I'm very excited. I did something that, at Wooster High School, hasn't been done in a long time and I'm really proud of myself that I pulled everything together when I needed to the most," said Furlong after a practice this week. "Because leading up to the meet on Saturday, I worked really hard and I had few things that weren't working well, but I came in here and I did what I needed to do to make sure I'd be ready."
"I'm just so happy for her because her freshman year didn't go how we planned it. Her ability has always been there," said Wooster coach Debbie Knapic. "The fact that she's even there — first one since Tori Wright in 2010. Megan Hackett was the last all-arounder to qualify out in 1999.
"It's great for her. I'm just so happy for her. It's going to give her the confidence that she needs to know that, yes, this can happen."
With just a week between districts and state, there's not much to be done in the way of acquiring new skills or improving physically, so Furlong has been focusing on sharpening an equally important aspect of gymnastics — her mindset.
"(This week) I think I definitely was just thinking about, 'Come in here, hit routines and stay confident,'" she said. "Because that's really what I need to work on, the mental aspect. Like, obviously my body can do it and I've been doing it all season, so I just feel like I need to stay in my mind and make sure I'm good there.
"Visualizing is a big part of it. Every single day. I don't think I go a day without visualizing my bar routine, my beam routine, landing, all those things."
She'll have the entire team with her this weekend, as Knapic rented a 15-person van to make the trip Friday afternoon, when they plan to watch some of the team competition.
Many of those teams will be familiar to Wooster, as the Northeast District is stacked with many of the top teams in the state, including Brecksville-Broadsview Heights, the team state champions for the past 15 years in a row. Five of the top seven teams last year hailed from the Northeast District.
"I think doing it for myself and proving to myself that I can do it is really what drives me to want to be better and to go out there and show everybody that I'm ready for it," said Furlong. "Because there's really good teams at these meets and these gymnasts are really top notch, and I'd like to go out there and be able to say, 'hey, I'm right there with them.'"


Attached is a simple house showing how to use a few marionette objects that have sped up my workflow, Work in progress so hope to create more things to help me. With baseboards etc you don't have to worry about the end cap so much so it can stay as anything. Just remember if the object disappears its probably that you just spelt the symbol name wrong so just retype the name in the OIP and it should appear. Hope it helps you.
In the attached file there is a network that creates a domestic house with the roofs, walls, slab and gutters all from one polygon. Could be good for roughing up concept models for a village. Play with the polygons and make your own shapes. You can alter the roof pitch, overhangs and wall and slab styles. Import a wall or slab style into your resource browser and copy to the appropriate name node. Enjoy.

Thought is was time to start a few videos for those starting out. The first one hopefully helps you understand vertex's and manipulating then and finally creating an adjustable handrail. Apologies for the unprofessional dialogue but hopefully will get better.
Attached is a file showing how to use the sweep node. The second file shows how to push the node to create a spring.
Hi everyone. Since Vectorworks 2017 comes with Renderworks, I would like to start using it. However, I haven't been able to find any good tutorials on it. Does anyone here have any? Thanks in advance!


Jamie has made essential oil synergies an art form and those of you who visited our clinic in Warburton (2003-6) may recognise an old favourite in our online store. We work energetically to create our blends: starting from an intention and matching that intention with the energy of the oils and blends. It gives us the opportunity to create very unique combinations that truly resonate with your own heart and journey of self-discovery.
The Best of Warburton Days is a collection of our most popular blends, all of which have been developed with specific healing intentions: 'partnership choice and connection' (Hypnotic), 'karmic-soul connection' (Raj), 'balance and joy' (Balance), 'letting go and tension-release' (Waterfall) and 'mending a broken heart' (Dimension). All of these blends create powerful spiritual shifts and are harmonically balanced, nurturing and full-bodied.
This range follows an 'ancient world' theme which was again shop-fronted in our Warburton clinic (also highlighted in our soaps, exfolients and home-made perfumes). This small selection are the fragrance that we consider to be the most unique and which successfully re-ignited memories of the great healing civilizations of Egypt, Tibet, Greece, India-Pakistan and Peru. Wonders of The Ancient World 'bottles' those ancient energies and rich aromas for you to 're-enjoy' in the 21st Century.
Scents and Seasons of Melbourne were created to hero each season in Melbourne and celebrate our city's flora, food, culture and history. As a more inexpensive range, some fragrant oils* have been used to best evoke the full array of garden and food influences of modern urban life. Melbourne is a city that can experience 'four seasons in one day', so we recommend 'splashing out' and getting the whole range to really make the most of Spring, Summer, Winter and Autumn.
Jamie can use these blends to create other healing products such as a massage oil, body lotion or even an after-shave spray or lotion. Please tell us what you would like by emailing info@jamienatural.com. Some blends and products, e.g., Waterfall, were commissioned by other businesses: we proudly offer customised brand development to corporations, small businesses, event managers and individual customers. Please contact Jamie to discuss your needs.
Jamie offers a full-day workshop where you can learn the art of vibrational aromatherapy. You will learn energy-matching techniques to create customised scents, signature blends and products for yourself and loved ones. See Courses and Workshops for more information.


Astounding Work. Ms. Morgan kept my family from losing their home during a difficult bankruptcy proceeding, and was so proficient in her handling of the case that we suffered zero losses as a result. Without her, our lives would be very different today.

Q: Recursion happens too many times and list is not iterable I'm trying to make a secret santa programm. The input is in form of the list of names of people g. ["John", "Bob", "Alice"] and the list of emials ["John@gmail.com", "Bob@gmail.com", "Alice@outlook.com"]. I need to generate pairs of email adress and a random name which doesn't belong to the said email adress. For this I have written the function compare.
def compare(list_of_names, list_of_emails):
    zipped_lists = zip(list_of_emails, list_of_names)
    random.shuffle(list_of_emails)
    zipped_shuffled_lists = zip(list_of_emails, list_of_names)
    for pair in zipped_lists:
        for shuffle_pair in zipped_shuffled_lists:
            if shuffle_pair == pair:
                return compare(list_of_names, list_of_emails)
    return zipped_shuffled_lists

But instead of shuffling like it should it just creates a recursion. i still can't find out why. After a finite amount of time it should create two different lists that work. Also the shuffled_list_of_emails is not iterable, why?
EDIT:changed the code with shuffle because it works in place

A: zip is lazy!
I'm not sure why, but I'm too excited about this right now, so the answer might be a bit messy. Feel free to ask for clarification)

Let's step through your code:
def compare(list_of_names, list_of_emails):
    # the `zip` object doesn't actually iterate over any of its arguments until you attempt to iterate over `zipped_lists`
    zipped_lists = zip(list_of_emails, list_of_names)

    # modify this IN-PLACE; but the `zip` object above has a pointer to this SAME list
    random.shuffle(list_of_emails)

    # since the very first `zip` object has `list_of_emails` as its argument, AND SO DOES THE ONE BELOW, they both point to the very same, SHUFFLED (!) list
    zipped_shuffled_lists = zip(list_of_emails, list_of_names)

    # now you're iterating over identical `zip` objects
    for pair in zipped_lists:
        for shuffle_pair in zipped_shuffled_lists:

            # obviously, this is always true
            if shuffle_pair == pair:

                # say "hello" to infinite recursion, then!
                return compare(list_of_names, list_of_emails)
    return zipped_shuffled_lists

Let's recreate this in the Python interpreter!
>>> List = list(range(5))
>>> List
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> zipped_1 = zip(List, range(5))
>>> import random
>>> random.shuffle(List)
>>> zipped_2 = zip(List, range(5))
>>> print(List)
[4, 2, 3, 0, 1]
>>> zipped_1, zipped_2 = list(zipped_1), list(zipped_2)
>>> zipped_1 == zipped_2
True

You see, two different zip objects applied to the same list at different times (before and after that list is modified in-place) produce the exact same result! Because zip doesn't do the zipping once you do zip(a, b), it will produce the zipped... uh, stuff... on-the-fly, while you're iterating over it!
So, to fix the issue, do not shuffle the original list, shuffle its copy:
list_of_emails_copy = list_of_emails.copy()
random.shuffle(list_of_emails_copy)
zipped_shuffled_lists = zip(list_of_emails_copy, list_of_names)

A: There's correct answer from @ForceBru already. But a will contribute a little.
You should avoid zip's lazy evaluation and unfold zips with, for example, list:
def compare(list_of_names, list_of_emails):
    zipped_lists = list(zip(list_of_emails, list_of_names))  # eager evaluation instead of lazy
    random.shuffle(list_of_emails)  # shuffle lists
    zipped_shuffled_lists = list(zip(list_of_emails, list_of_names))  # eager again
    for pair in zipped_lists:
        for shuffle_pair in zipped_shuffled_lists:
            if shuffle_pair == pair:
                return compare(list_of_names, list_of_emails)
    return zipped_shuffled_lists

But I guess you need no recursion and can achieve your task easier:
def compare(list_of_names, list_of_emails):
    zipped_lists = list(zip(list_of_emails, list_of_names))
    random.shuffle(zipped_lists)  # shuffle list of emails and names
    result = []
    shuffled_emails = [i[0] for i in zipped_lists]
    for i, _ in enumerate(shuffled_emails):
        result.append(zipped_lists[i-1][1])  # shift email relatively one position to the right
    return list(zip(result, shuffled_emails))

This code links an name with an email of a previous name, which is randomly selected, and it guaranteed does not match.
There's no recursion, works fine for lists with two or more elements.

Off the Track
Our strong desire to help people can often be misguided.
When I was 7 or 8 years old, I caught the last few minutes of a Frank Sinatra movie called Von Ryan's Express on TV.
The story was pretty clear to me even then: Sinatra, an American Air Force colonel, is helping a group of Allied prisoners of war escape the Nazis by train into Switzerland. But he gets gunned down before he can join the rest of the boys on their ride to freedom. As he lies sprawled dead on the tracks, a hopeful voice-over kicks in: "If only one gets out, it'll be a victory."
That became my mantra when, a couple decades later, I began working in the writing center of a failing Cleveland public school. Life in the inner city was hard, but if I could help even one of these kids get to college, I'd be a hero worthy of Ol' Blue Eyes himself.
Not that I knew much about the inner city, of course. I'd spent the majority of my life in Cleveland's eastern suburbs, attending a private school that didn't have metal detectors at the door or a mold problem in its library. I wanted to pay my educational fortune forward. I didn't have much experience, but I did have two degrees in English.
I thought I just might have a chance to turn things around.
My opportunity came when Dante walked into the writing center. He was a shy kid, quick to smile, his fingers nervously turning over the bottom edges of his wrinkled school uniform. He was a special needs student, although I never learned what his set of needs were.
Most of the kids I'd worked with had been required to attend the writing center. They met my suggestions for breaking up their run-on sentences with passivity, rolled eyes or open hostility. Dante was the only student who had come to the writing center voluntarily. In fact, unlike any of the students I'd worked with, he seemed to like it there.
I asked how I could help him. He told me he was working on an essay for the Common App, a widely used program for college applications.
"That's great!" I said. I knew right away that Dante would be my inspirational story, my crowning achievement. I would get this kid into college. I would hoist him onto the back of that train, and I would look good doing it.
I worked with Dante every day that I could. We brainstormed and drafted an essay that touched on the death of his mother, his connection to music and his aspirations to become a hip-hop producer. I pressed him for details and pushed him to reword his sentences for maximum effect.
We were going to craft the best college essay the admissions officers of Whichever State University had ever seen. We started work in October.
By December, Dante was feeling the strain.
"Do you think it's ready now?" he asked a few times, hopeful.
"It's close," I said. We had more comma splices to fix, more paragraphs to rearrange.
When we finally finished the last week of the semester, I was beaming. "You did it!" Dante reluctantly accepted my high-five. He printed the paper and, shoulders slouched, started the journey down the long flight of stairs.
It wasn't until the next week that I ran into his college counselor in the hall. "We finished Dante's Common App essay," I told him.
He gave me a confused look. None of the colleges Dante was applying to used the Common App.
It took Dante's health teacher to clear up the confusion: He'd assigned all his students a Common App essay back in October, just to give them writing practice. The assignment had been due for almost two months now. It had been worth, in a class scored out of 1,000, somewhere in the neighborhood of five or 10 points. Dante didn't come to the writing center as much the rest of the school year. He'd been missing class to work with me, and he needed solid attendance if he wanted to graduate — which he did. He even got into Cuyahoga Community College.
I never asked him if he showed the admissions department the essay we worked on together. We did stay in touch for a while after he graduated, but the flow of phone calls — it was always him calling — slowed, then finally stopped.
Dante's graduation was the last time I set foot in the school. Maybe the mold in the ceiling had infected me somehow, leeching from me the energy and drive I had at the beginning of the school year. Maybe it was embarrassment at my arrogance — a swagger that aspired to match Sinatra's own — in thinking I could save a trainload of kids, or even one, on the strength of my own charisma and grammar knowledge.
Or maybe I didn't want to be reminded that for many, the train we were running toward had left the station a long, long time ago, and the guys with the guns were closing in from behind.

During the annual retreat of the California Oblates in June of 1991, a "Holy Spouses Rosary" was developed, to extend the traditional Marian devotion to include St. Joseph. This rosary was approved by the provincial for use by the Oblates and for promotion among the faithful to whom they minister. Prayed in much the same manner as the Marian rosary, this devotion substitutes the "Hail Mary" with an analogous prayer that includes St. Joseph and asks for their common intercession as spouses. Ten mysteries expand upon the normal five joyful mysteries.
Mary, full of grace, and Joseph, son of David; honor to you, Mother of God, and to you, guardian of the Redeemer. Eternal praise to the child with whom you formed a family, Jesus. Holy spouses, pray for us sinners, our families and communities, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
The title the angel uses to address Mary, "full of grace," is complemented by that he uses to address Joseph, "son of David." Similarly the Church's time-honored title for her, "Mother of God," is complemented by the Church's most recent choice of title for him, "guardian of the Redeemer." While Mary and Joseph are honored, the child Jesus is eternally praised; he is the center of their family, and his name remains at the very center of this prayer, as it should for every prayer. Mary and Joseph are invoked together as "Holy Spouses" and their prayers are sought not simply for ourselves as individuals, but also as families and communities.
Betrothal of Mary and Joseph (Mt 1:18, Lk 1:26-27, 2:4-5).
Annunciation to Mary (Lk 1:28-38).
Annunciation to Joseph (Mt 1:19-25).
Birth of Jesus (Lk 2:6,15-16).
Circumcision and Naming of Jesus (Lk 2:21).
Presentation of Jesus (Lk 2:22-40).
Escape into Egypt (Mt 2:13-15).
Finding of Jesus in the Temple (Lk 2:41-50).
Hidden Life at Nazareth (Lk 2:51-52).
The traditional joyful mysteries are found among the ten Mysteries of the Incarnation and Hidden Life. They lead to consideration of Mary not simply as an individual but as a wife in union with her husband, Joseph. Additional mysteries include the first stage of the marriage, the betrothal; the intervening annunciation to Joseph after the one to Mary; and the second stage of the marriage, the husband taking his wife into his home. At the circumcision Mary and Joseph give the child the faith name Jesus, "Yahweh saves," given to each of them by the angel. The escape into Egypt and the years of hidden life at Nazareth are also mysteries for which Redemptoris Custos provides rich material for reflection.
The devotion proves fruitful for the faithful at large, but is of particular inspiration to married couples, who are encouraged to pray it together in their homes, and to engaged couples, who are invited to pray it in preparation for their marriage. In at least one parish, a group of couples gathers regularly to pray the Holy Spouses Rosary together and support one another in trying to live holy marriages.


What a way to spend a Sunday! Great friends, cool libations, and beautiful design were all on tap for a spectacular day in NYC. As it comes to the end of its 2015 run, The 43rd Annual Kips Bay Designer Show House has never looked brighter. We took in the day with a tour of the storied East Side Sachs Mansion, walked through the sun-drenched Sheep's Meadow, and refreshed ourselves at the iconic Tavern on the Green. "Only in New York", was a phrase that was uttered more than once that day.
Of course, the highlight of the day was witnessing the incredible genius and inspiring design of the many designers' work. Here's a look at some of my absolute favorites of the day.
The Foyer by Drake Design Associates set the tone by showing us that the Sky is the Limit. The light installation by artist Ayela Surfaty was absolute heaven, set off by the lusciously lacquered ceiling.
Allesandra Branca showed us "Le Salon Rouge" swathed in punchy crimson ticking stripe and stunning artwork.
The "Torridon Stair Gallery"— perfectly curated and placed by Phillip Mitchell Design was a study in collecting what you love. A mix of periods, mediums, scale, and artists like no other I've seen.
Pavarini Design's "Midnight Manhattan" was truly a sophisticated mix of texture and rich color. There was a beautiful asymmetry to the room with fireplace cloaked in foil-wrapped travertine and flanked by Clive Christian millwork on the right and moody artwork on the left.
David Phoenix's "Master Bedroom": One of my absolute favorites this year. David chose to contrast the rest of the home's gloss, lacquer, and shine for a muted palette and cashmere soft elegance. Upholstered walls and a cable knit-like carpet gave the room a quiet hush that begged us to sit and relax.
Cathy Kincaid Designs — Marvelously detailed and appointed, this bedroom spoke quietly of refined taste with a collector's eye. The crisp linens, canopy, and panels were exquisite.
Peter J Sinnott IV Home Works has created a bathroom with eye catching accents of color throughout. Using bright artwork, unique sculpture, and beautifully creative fabrics, the layers the space with simplicity and style.
Alan Tanksley Inc. "Pavlos Retreat" This is a "gotta have it" space. Handsome is the word that comes to mind when you walk into Alan's study. It all starts with a lacquered bar ready for a gentlemen's cocktail service, and draws you into the rich, textured comfort of the sitting room. Stunning millwork by Best and Company is at once traditional and modern.
Bennett Leifer Interiors — A glittering display of old world gilded paper by DeGournay and lighting by Phoenix Gallery.
Tilton Fenwick continue to use pattern and trim to the utmost effect in this cozy dining lounge. We loved the textured trim on the chair rail and the signature pattern work on the upholstered walls and runner.
Mark D. Sikes — Red, red and more red! And let's not forget, a fantastic use of multi scale pattern in this dining room. The truly traditional yet whimsical space brought a theatrical sensibility the home.
Without a doubt this year was an inspiring mix of modern and traditional, muted palettes and eye popping color, and young designers and seasoned pros. I always leave the house ready to start a fresh new project, and of course have a cocktail….Tavern awaits!

Melittin is the principal toxic component of honey bee venom from Apis mellifera, making up 50% of its dry weight. It is a 26 residue long antimicrobial peptide has an α-helical conformation, and associates strongly with membranes. It has demonstrated antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory activities. It has also undergone research as a cancer treatment for its aparent cell growth inhibition and apoptosis promoting activities.


From the early days of the Internet to the present day, the World Wide Web has developed into one of the world's largest information resources. One of the first genres of web pages, which was also one of the first information resources, was the Personal Home Page (PHP). Over this same period of time, professional football in England has created the world's richest league and by extension an abundance of football related PHPs. This study investigates the role of the PHP as an information resource using the subject area of professional football in England. A holistic approach is taken so as to view the PHP from a broader context, as one information resource amongst many, including non-PHPs and even offline information resources (e.g. reference books). Within this study, football fans are interviewed along with web authors, surveys are carried out (by distributing both online and offline questionnaires) and research is also carried out online, examining football related PHPs and online web collaborations. Results suggest that whilst there are many informational benefits to be found on PHPs, such as plentiful unique information, they have low levels of use amongst football fans. The thesis concludes by proposing an avenue to the maximisation of the informational benefit of PHPs through a blueprint for a type of communal football website called the Club Community Composite Page (CCCP). Overall, several contributions are made to the field of information science, most notably attaining an improved understanding of PHPs as unique and accurate information providers online and devising new research methods for PHP research. In particular, the method of identification of PHPs developed here will be a useful tool for future researchers of PHPs. The contributions of this thesis are likely to be of value to researchers working in relevant sub-fields of information science, such as information seeking, web genres, grey literature and virtual communities.

Coco's Bakery Restaurant hires ad agency
After years of ordering in-house for its advertising, the popular family dining chain Coco's Bakery Restaurant is going outside by naming DeVito/Verdi West to handle its marketing message.
Coco's, the popular family dining chain of 112 restaurants throughout Southern California and parts of Arizona and Nevada, is looking to elevate its awareness perception among consumers, and better communicate a quality message around its entrees and fresh-baked desserts.
The marketing assignment will initially call for a series of television commercials and digital advertising elements scheduled to commence in early June. The TV spots will air initially in the San Diego and Los Angeles markets.
"It's paramount that Coco's gets the credit for the quality and freshness of its menu items," says Ellis Verdi, president of DeVito/Verdi. "It's an incredibly competitive environment in Southern California, so it's imperative that this restaurant raises its awareness and makes its commitment to quality a well-known fact among all diners."
DeVito/Verdi West, based in San Diego, is the West Coast arm of the award-winning New York shop DeVito/Verdi. This marks the fourth major new account for the nascent agency, which opened its doors less than one year ago. Since opening two years ago, DeVito/Verdi West has garnered marketing assignments from Varian Medical Systems, Scripps Health, and Anna's Linens.
Coco's Bakery Restaurant traces its heritage back to 1948 and the establishment of a small seaside shack along the Pacific Coast Highway in Corona de Mar, called The Snack Shop. That little restaurant slowly grew to more and more outposts along the coast, and eventually became Coco's, specializing in traditional American favorites and delicious bakery items. Today, Coco's is part of Catalina Restaurant Group, which is wholly owned by Zensho Holding Co., LTD., one of the largest restaurant companies in the world.

Getting off the hard is hard
Posted on April 22, 2013 by Jane
April 4 – 17, 2013, Isla Mujeres, Mexico
Hard work on the hard at Isla Mujeres marina.
We're happy with the new bottom paint. We chose black paint instead of blue. When the black starts to wear, we'll see the original blue underneath. That will help us gauge when it's time to repaint again.
Our new bottom paint looks beautiful.
While on the hard, Tony and Pete tackled some projects that were easier to do on land.
Tony-the-teak-guy fixed some caulking on the sugar scoops and then re-sanded and treated them. This couldn't be done while in the water — the lower step was always damp.
Tony works on the teak — port side.
Tony works on the teak — starboard side.
Pete removed the propellers so that we could get new sail drive covers on. The sail drive covers were artfully fabricated from two black floor tiles. Don't the propellers look clean!
Propellors, shiny after their vinegar bath.
The guys had a surprise when the boat went back into the water on Tuesday: On Delay went backwards in forward gear and forward in reverse gear. It turns out our shaft was set with the less usual left-hand rotation, and we set our feathering props for right-hand rotation. The next day, after being hauled again, it took 45 minutes for Tony and Pete to fix the problem. Too bad we got charged for the second haul-out; but I doubt that we'll make that prop mistake again.
Very important: We had our go-faster stripes touched up. Jesús and his assistant did an exceptionally nice job refreshing our stripes. The improvement makes the boat look newer.
Freshened stripes.
But, it hasn't been all work. We've enjoyed living in our studio apartments in a non-touristy part of the island. We patronized some local restaurants and cooked some tasty meals in the kitchens and got to know some other cruisers and ex-pats.
Pete and Tony try out the swings at the dock where we keep the dinghy.

Thanks! … and fast too. Tony and I just sailed her 330+ nautical miles from Isla Mujeres to Grand Cayman in 48 hours. Tony reckons we're half a knot faster with the new bottom.
