ReCor Medical (Menlo Park, CA), makers of the only ultrasound based renal denervation system for control of hypertension, received clearance for its PARADISE Gen 2 device from European authorities.
The original system was approved for sale a year ago and the new one improves it with an over-the-wire 6Fr device size and faster denervation.
All other known similar systems use low power radiofrequency waves to reduce sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity by denervating nerves in the renal artery walls. The system uses a balloon to position the transducer centrally in within the lumen to deliver consistent denervation and cooling evenly to the artery walls.

Don and Susan went to the Spring Fling Rally this past weekend. This rally is put on by the Central Texas Road Riders.
Debbie and I stayed home for this one, but here are the Potters pics; Looks like they have a great time.
We went to see the Uganda Children's Choir this evening at the Austin Stone Church's north facility on St. Johns. The choir represented Africa Renewal Ministries (ARM, or africarenewal.org), an organization that helps the poorest families in Uganda by paying school fees and by providing training. The concert was great, those kids are so on fire for the Lord. Here is a slideshow that should give you a small sense of what they were like. The pictures were taken in the dark, so don't expect the quality to be too high.
We went with some friends to the Frank Erwin Center today for the Austin Stone Church Easter Service. Rick Barnes, the head basketball coach at UT had the idea to use the Erwin Center for the Austin Stone Easter Service. He also gave the opening prayer. Part of the Praise team, was the boys choir from Uganda (note the one doing a head stand during the singing). As you can see see from the pictures, it was quite a crowd. When we first thought about going to such a large service, we thought it might be too much like a performance, but it was an amazing worship time. Great teaching too.
What else can I say, except it was Awesome!
Had a great time at C-Hunts this evening, getting fully educated about our Freedom, our Rights, and how to protect them. Come join us, every third Thursday at 7pm, at C-Hunts Ice House in North Austin.
I wish I could… __________ (Fill in the blank). So often in life, we have desires, to go places, meet people, or to have things (motorcycles?), that seem out of our reach, either politically, emotionally, or financially. Or, perhaps you have the other kind of I wish. I wish I wasn't so fat, or I wish my ….. whatever was smaller, or I wish I had more hair. There are many things in life that we seem to have no control over, things we wish we could change. Well, I have some good news. Many of the challenging things in life can be changed. I have heard preachers say that if you have enough faith, and if you send them some money, you will surely get that new Harley… I don't happen to be one of those, but I do believe that God is willing and able to change many things in our lives that we would ike to have changed, but that we feel powerless to change. So, how is this magically done, is it by the press of a button on my phone? Well, no. God's solution for change is just as simple that, but doesn't need any technology. God just wants to have a relationship with you. To have a relationship with someone requires communications between the two parties. No not that kind of party, well.. yes, it could be between the parties (gesture with hands wide). Ok, back to the subject. God wants us to know him, and to share our desires and concerns with him. He desires to be our perfect friend, the one we always have with us, and the one who will always listen when we talk. Yes, I said talk. Praying can even be done out loud. Even better, God is able to change our circumstances and fulfill our desires. He is God after all. The bible says "you do not have, because you do not ask". Is it really that simple? Yes, it is. Now I am not saying that God will give you that new Harley you have been lusting over, because sometimes he changes us instead of our circumstances. But, remember, if you don't have what you want, it might be because you haven't asked.


The house is where I grew up. The apartment is where I live now.
I created these two icons, so I may become a citizen at IconTown.
Currently, I have my "application" in at IconTown (TM).
I'm waiting for a new lot of land to open up.
I will eventually put up real pictures of what these places look like.


Can you still remember when we first met? They said he was still weak from a recent sickness. He was brought up to be a doctor. Temperance is the best physic. What're they going to do to Anita and Douglas? I want you to talk to me. Welcome to the magical world of Narnia. When did it get so complicated? I long for that most of all. You can download audio files by native speakers from our website.
We have to get out of here tonight. Alexander told me to meet him at his house. She's always happy and smiling. I want my children to learn to speak French. "Whose letters are these?" "They are Linda's." Are you going to tell Bonnie that he can't come with us, or are you going to make me tell him? When did you begin to study Japanese? Bananas are delicious. I don't think they've seen us. Dan quieted the dogs.
As a rule, our English teacher gives a lot of homework. You are well aware that Austria has no coast. I spend a lot of time reading. I guess you're right. I was completely broke. This is the pool where Huey learned to swim. Tal doesn't like me very much. Watch yourselves. Rogue works in a bank. When I praised her son she listened very carefully.
Nigel can't seem to get rid of his nasty cold. I knew you would suspect me. I have just three dollars left. Judy and Harold belong together. Several of the Transhumanist Movement are demonstrating in front of the government building. Go to school and study! I can't carry all that baggage. I thought you had another reason. This sentence is true. If it hadn't been for the storm, we would have been in time.
Bobbie has a couple of interesting suggestions. The customer is responsible for bank transfer processing fees. We thank you for your understanding. He lost the watch that I had bought him a week before. Sundar and Marco often talk to each other using Skype. I was just looking around. The largest animal on Earth is the gigantic blue whale. I'd like to be woken up tomorrow at 6:30. Hmm. I have a feeling I'm going to get lost whichever road I take. I believe that I can trust you. Can you tell him from his brother?
I am very disappointed. What are you really accomplishing? Lately it's not so fashionable to measure success by how far you climb up the corporate ladder. Someone will be meeting you. The baby is playing with some toys. Seymour is an extremely charming guy. Dave left me a message last night. She will give her picture to whoever wants it. Though I have decided to go to the party, I'm not looking forward to it. Real doesn't see anything wrong with letting Courtney learn to drive.
That's not very polite. Many people in the world complain that they don't have time to read. I don't want to. Are you busy right now? Why did you paint this wall black? I cannot do without sugar in my coffee. He keeps to the letter of the law. There was no food even on the unpainted table. The food looks delicious. I hope you are well.
I'm recommending you to Vladislav. I'm no one's girlfriend. I don't know if they were nervous or not. I usually don't have time to eat a large lunch. I'm not a maniac. You're the maniac. They've never met. Donnie, someday I'll reward you for all your patience. You've got to tell Helen he needs to be here at 2:30. I used to be scared of snakes. Root wore a silk blouse.
I am through with my work. I've really got work to do. Marie and Pravin were witnesses. Luke gave it back to Antonella. Can he be ill when he runs around like that? We're at war. The earthquake left the city looking like a war zone. Mehrdad can sing. Are you going for a walk? I usually wear jeans on Sunday.
Sword Art Online is a popular Anime series. Gabriel's cat is a nasty beast. We both have the same problem. The car is at your service. It's a real honor to meet you. Sedat backed out at the last moment. Mats hadn't eaten since breakfast and was getting hungry. You're supposed to be the best. I'll have it here for you tomorrow. The university conferred its highest degree on him.

Reliance Jio, Siddharth Roy Kapur's RKF in digital content deal
Reliance Jio Infocomm began its commercial operations last year offering a combination of free Internet access and voice calls, attracting 100 million subscribers in less than six months.
2 min read . Updated: 27 Sep 2017, 08:59 PM IST Lata Jha
The deal will include exclusive long and short-form content across genres that Siddharth Roy Kapur's Roy Kapur Films will put together as 'Reliance Jio originals'
New Delhi: Telecom firm Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd on Wednesday announced a multi-year digital content deal with Roy Kapur Films (RKF), the film and media production house founded by Siddharth Roy Kapur, the former managing director of The Walt Disney Co. (India). The association will include exclusive long and short-form content across genres that RKF will put together as 'Jio originals.'
Kapur quit the Disney studio in January this year to start this venture. Jio, on the other hand, began its commercial operations last year offering a combination of free Internet access and voice calls, attracting 100 million subscribers in less than six months.
Original content currently seems to be the key word for streaming platforms in India. While American service Netflix Inc. has announced series like Selection Day, Again and Sacred Games, arch rival Amazon Prime Video released its first original, a sports drama called Inside Edge in July. Local film and television production house Balaji Telefilms Ltd provides about 32 original shows in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil and Gujarati.
Last month, Aditya Birla Group chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla hired Sameer Nair—who stepped down as CEO of Balaji Telefilms Ltd —to revive Applause Entertainment Pvt. Ltd, his privately held production company. The goal, Nair had then emphasized, would be to create premium content drama series for a digital-savvy audience.
"This association with Roy Kapur Films will help us power towards our goal of delivering the highest quality video entertainment content to our mobile subscribers," Jyotindra Thacker of Reliance Jio said in a statement, adding that the network currently carries over 5.5 crore hours of video daily on its network. "Over the last decade, Siddharth has developed and produced some of the most commercially successful and creatively path breaking movies in Indian cinema, and we are happy to partner with him in the creation of a creative ecosystem that enables everyone to fully live and experience the Jio Digital Life."
Kapur had headed the Indian arm of The Walt Disney Co. (India) that currently operates Disney and UTV Motion Pictures as well as a network of television channels since 2014.
Roy Kapur Films is currently in the process of developing and backing several feature film projects. These include a biopic on Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian in space, with Aamir Khan playing the lead role. There is also Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari's next venture, an adaptation of the book How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded a Million Dollar Company, as well as a film based on the real-life story of Alwar resident Vijendra Singh Rathore who was separated from his wife in the 2013 Uttarakhand flash floods and finally found her after 19 months of search across hundreds of villages in the state.
"Jio's digital platform offers an unparalleled opportunity to produce and deliver high quality and world-class entertainment content that can be watched all over India, across all demographics and completely at one's convenience, across all screens and platforms. Our goal is to provide Jio subscribers with a wide variety of content that caters to their diverse tastes and sensibilities, and keeps them coming back for more," Kapur said in a statement.

Best sunset dining experience in Los Cabos.
If you like seafood, try the five course sea lovers tasting.
Chef Salvatore Messina oversees the food, sommelier Sabrina Sanchez the wine service. The sunset views of Land's End and El Arco are overseen by a higher power. This is truly one of the most romantic restaurants on earth, with tables perched seemingly atop the Sea of Cortez. The food is Italian centric, although those who like the fresh local seafood will find menu options to their liking. And, unlike many restaurants, the culinary staff at Sunset Da Mona Lisa doesn't mind dealing with special dietary requirements. Considering the magnificence of the setting, it is perhaps not surprising that they have wedding services available. Both the food and the service here are outstanding, but it is the romantic and awe-inspiring atmosphere that makes this one of the most incredible dining experiences you will ever have.

Tom Aitken's London Diary
'A Tangled Web' brings top UK politician closer to jail
By Tom Aitken in London
''Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!'
So wrote Sir Walter Scott in 1808. And today the English multi-millionaire politician Chris Huhne, former Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change in the Coalition Cabinet, apparently lives in a such a world — one in which you draw a line under anything troublesome and move on.
On one occasion, this took the form of telling his wife Vicky that he was leaving her, then going to the gym for a workout.
On the outer
Liberal Democrat Chris Huhne has not always moved on to places he necessarily wanted to be. Out of the Cabinet, out of his parliamentary seat, out of the affections of his children and out of public favour.
And next week he will probably move on into jail, while facing a legal bill of about half of one of his millions. All this arises from his gambler's attempt to retain his driving licence.
Three weeks ago he faced a courtroom to protest his innocence of the criminal offence of perverting the course of justice by persuading (some have said bullying) his then wife, Vicky, a successful and powerful economist, to say that she was driving his car when a speed camera caught it exceeding the limit. (Otherwise penalty points on his licence would exceed the number which brings suspension for a year.)
The incident occurred in 2003.An MP in the European Parliament, Huhne was standing for election to the British one. Success would be imperilled if he suffered the shame and inconvenience of losing his licence.
The speed camera concerned netted more in 2003 than any other in the country.
Despite this, accidents there have risen rather than decreased, largely because the distance between the warning and the controlled zone requires an abrupt slowdown, itself fraught with danger.
Asked wife to take the rap
When Huhne received legal notice of his offence, he asked Victoria to say that she had been driving when the incident occurred.
That she eventually did so is not in dispute. (But he kept his licence only for the time being, losing it when, driving in central London, he used his mobile phone).
Perversely, instead of employing a chauffeur, he insisted that his wife drive him everywhere. Relations between them deteriorated until, true to form, he put himself on course for disaster.
One afternoon he informed Vicky that he was leaving her to marry his political aide, Carina Trimingham.
In order for this to happen, Carina would herself have to leave her civil partnership with another woman — then he went off to the gym for an hour's workout!
One of Victoria's daughters from a previous marriage gave evidence in court of Huhne's hectoring campaign to get his way. He also alienated one of their two sons.
How the story came out
At this stage, no-one outside the family knew that Vicky had misinformed the police. But it appears that at some point that Victoria, inadvertently or otherwise, allowed a reporter to believe two things.
One, that she had said, under duress, that she had been driving the car at the crucial time, and secondly that she wanted to 'nail him' for what he had done to her.
In consequence, Chris and Vicky have spent much time in the last three weeks, sitting alongside each other in court, not looking at each other, charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Huhne himself surprised everyone by reversing his plea of 'not guilty' and was duly found guilty. Consequently, he resigned from the Cabinet and from his parliamentary seat at Eastleigh in Hampshire.
Facing jail
When the question of Victoria's guilt or otherwise has been resolved, he will almost certainly go to jail.
Her defence is that she was subject to 'marital coercion'.
The jury in her case debated the issue for two days, then sent the judge a list of questions they wanted answered before they could pronounce a verdict.
Admittedly some of these questions seemed curiously naïve when published. But the judge has made himself look pompous by saying in effect that some of the questions showed them to have no idea of basic principles of law. He dismissed the jury and the trial will start all over again next week.
The crux is this: There is little doubt that Victoria was coerced. Her daughter, giving evidence in court, was quite clear on that.
Huhne had nominated Victoria as the driver without her agreement, and when the form arrived from the police, bullied her into signing it.
One of the sons of the marriage told his father by text that he is an 'autistic bastard.'
On the other hand: Victoria is a highly capable, strong-minded woman, used to exercising power, who nevertheless signed the document.
Since'marital coercion' is a defence available only to wives, it seems a meaningless hangover from a past age. The fact is that she signed. She could have refused.
We await a result.
Political fallout could be dire
More generally, the possible political results of these events could be surprisingly significant.
The Eastleigh bye-election to find Huhne's replacement will take place next week.
On its result may depend: the survival or disintegration of the present coalition government; diminution to vanishing point of Lib-Dem public standing; humiliation of both parties by a win for the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP); the possible inability of Parliament to assemble a coherent government with adequate popular support.
A Conservative victory would make Cameron look like a winner. Simultaneously it would strengthen and make noisier his troublesome right-wingers.
This is indeed 'a tangled web'.

Q: Understanding Java FixedThreadPool I am trying to understand how Java FixedThreadPool works in practice, but the docs do not answer my question.
Assume a simple scenario like:
ExecutorService ES= Executors.newFixedThreadPool(3);
List<Future> FL;
for(int i=1;i<=200;i++){
   FL.add(ES.submit(new Task()));
}
ES.shutdown();

where Task is a Callable which construct some resources, uses them, and returns some output.
My question: how many Task are there in memory upon completing the for loop? In other words: will there be only 3 Task at a time constructing their resources, or all of them are created upfront, such that, after .submit I have 200 Task (and their resources) waiting to execute?
Note: resources construction happens in the constructor of Task, not in the call() method.
In the javadoc (feel free to skip the following): what confuses me is the following explanation in the Java docs

Creates a thread pool that reuses a fixed number of threads operating
  off a shared unbounded queue. At any point, at most nThreads threads
  will be active processing tasks.

I suppose this means that, in my example, all the 200 Task are in the queue, but only 3 of them are executed at any time.
Any help is highly appreciated.

A: The tasks will be removed one by one from the queue, so as the execution proceed, the Tasks will be removed, and only the result of them will be stored in those Future objects.
So basically in the memory:
3 Threads
200 -> 0 Task
0 -> 200 Future
(with every executed tasks)

A: You are creating 200 objects using new Task() and those tasks are submitted to executor. The executors hold a reference to this Task object.
So, if in the constructor of the Task you are construct and holding resources then all the 200 Task will be holding the resources.
If possible, you can construct and use the resource in the call method of Task if you don't want 200 instances to construct and hold the resources. In that case, only 3 Task at a time will construct and hold the resource.

A: All 200 Tasks are created and consume the resources, and all of them are in the queue.
The thread pool, only invokes their run()/call() method one by one, when a free thread is available for the execution.

A: To understand this, you will need to see what is happening when you are submitting the task to the Executor in a loop.
First we will just look at the submission of a single task to the Executor. I will now be referring to the JDK 1.7.0_51 source code
The static method Executor.newFixedThreadPool method returns a ThreadPoolExecutor containing a blocking queue to hold the task
public static ExecutorService newFixedThreadPool(int nThreads) {
        return new ThreadPoolExecutor(nThreads, nThreads,
                                      0L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS,
                                      new LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable>());
    }

The moment you add a task to this Executor,this goes to the submit method of  ThreadPoolExecutor extending AbstractExecutorService where the implementation of submit method is written.
public <T> Future<T> submit(Callable<T> task) {
        if (task == null) throw new NullPointerException();
        RunnableFuture<T> ftask = newTaskFor(task);
        execute(ftask);
        return ftask;
    }

The execute method is implementation specific ( meaning different types of Executor implement it different ways)
Now comes the real meat. This is the execute method defined in ThreadPoolExecutor. Especially pay attention at the comments.
Here few configuration parameters of ThreadPoolExecutor like corePoolSize comes into play.
public void execute(Runnable command) {
        if (command == null)
            throw new NullPointerException();
        /*
         * Proceed in 3 steps:
         *
         * 1. If fewer than corePoolSize threads are running, try to
         * start a new thread with the given command as its first
         * task.  The call to addWorker atomically checks runState and
         * workerCount, and so prevents false alarms that would add
         * threads when it shouldn't, by returning false.
         *
         * 2. If a task can be successfully queued, then we still need

A: Your code is equivalent to
for (int i = 1; i <= 200; i++){
    Task t = new Task();
    FL.add(ES.submit(t));
}

And after the for loop, the constructor of Task has thus been called 200 times, and the code it contains has thus been executed 200 times. Whether the task is submitted to an executor or not is irrelevant: you're invoking a constructor 200 times in a loop, and after each task has been constructed, it's submitted to the executor. The executor is not the one calling the task constructor.

Stations of the Cross: an important devotion in Lent is to pray the Stations of the Cross. Sadly today on the 3rd Sunday of Lent there will be NO Stations of the Cross as there is Mass on Vatersay at 4pm.
There will be Stations of the Cross through the week- immediately after morning Mass on Thursday in Northbay and on Friday in Vatersay. Also there will be Stations of the Cross at 7.30pm on Wednesday after the evening Mass in Craigston.
Recent Deaths: we pray for the soul of FLORA DYNES (Florag a geraich) who peacefully died in St. Brendan's Home on Friday 2nd March at the age of 90. Flora was from Eriskay and her remains will be taken over for a Requiem Mass on Tuesday 6th March at 11am in St. Michaels on Eriskay.
We pray for the soul of NEIL CAMPBELL (Niall Dhunnachaidh of Vatersay) who died in a Home in London, Neil had lived there for many years and he passed away on Friday 2nd March at the age of 80. It is hoped that one day Neil's remains will be laid to rest on Vatersay.
We also pray for the repose of the soul of DONALD ALEXANDER MACKINNON (Domhnall Alec Nialltaidh of Eoligarry). Domhnall had lived for many years down in Bognor Regis on the Sussex Coast and he peacefully passed away on the 23rd February at the age of 93- his requiem will take place down in England.
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shone upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

Do Coated Pipes Last Longer?
Field studies have revealed that polymer coated steel pipe resists corrosion longer than pipe coated with other materials. Corrosion is the most common failure mechanism of pipe culvert, and it's particularly aggressive to the pipe invert, where drainage flows cause electrolytic attack and erosion. One of the most effective means of protecting corrugated steel pipe is applying an ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer film, which acts as a membrane, resisting penetration by water and other chemicals. The acrylic component helps the coating adhere chemically to the pipe surface, similar to the polar attraction by an epoxy polymer. However, the polymer coating remains stable when exposed to ultraviolet light, unlike the epoxy. Although polymer coating can be more expensive than other protection methods, in some cases it proves more cost-effective because of how well it performs.

The Northern Mariana Islands, especially Rota, Tinian and Saipan, offer some of the best diving sites in Micronesia.
The Northern Mariana Islands, Marianas or Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is actually US territory but operates completely on its own largely living of tourism. Its name was given during the 17th century Spanish colonization when this group of 14 tropical islands was named after the Spanish Queen Mariana of Austria. These northern volcanic islands make up a line of more than 400 miles adjacent to the Marianas Trench, the world deepest known ocean depth. The main three islands are Saipan, Tinian and Rota and together with Agrihan, Anatahan, Alamagan and Pagan these are the only inhabited islands in the Mairanas. Guam is sometimes called the most southern island of the CNMI, but we describe Guam as a complete different dive group.
Saipan with Garapan and Chalan Kanoa is the capital and the island where most tourists go to. Make a visit to Isleta Maigo Fahang, also known as Bird Island, Forbidden Island, the sheer Banzai Cliffs, Managaha Island or the famous Banadero Caves. Saipan has some of the shallowest lagoons offering an excellent environment for tryout dives in waters less than three meter deep filled with hard corals, soft corals and marine life. Tinian is a popular place as well, just south of Saipan, with sights including the House of Taga and the casino of the Tinian Dynasty Hotel according to American model. Continuing south, before reaching the rugged terrains of Rota, you will find the beautiful uninhabited island of Aguijan. Less developed Rota offers stunning natural sights such as the Toga Caves, Agusan Swimming Hole and the nice village of Songsong. All offer a wide range of different restaurants, cruises, luxury resorts, healthy spas and actually all that interests tourists. There are many historical and cultural attractions including war artifacts and memorials from World War II.
The Marianas are rugged and remote and offer some of the best diving in the world. Rota, one of the three main islands, is easily reached after a twenty minute flight from Guam. There are many shallow lagoons, limestone caves and plenty of marine life. The waters are also rich in game fish and there are many fishermen organizing trips to catch ulua or marlin. There are many spectacular caves with phenomenal underwater light shows, wrecks remembering of its tragedic role it played during World War II and excellent coral formations, walls and shallow reefs. It is a dive environment every diver would like to have been at least once in their lives. Dream away at its magnificent beaches and crystal clear blue waters that offer some of the best diving spots in the world.

Nats Notebook- A Tale of Two Series… »
Nats Notebook-Maylaise…
Another week, another slate of games where the Nationals were alternately inspiring and frustrating. The team that started slow (12-16 on April 30) is now 7-11 in May, has lost nine of 15 series (with two splits in the mix) and has dropped 13 of 15 series openers. After winning their first series in almost a month, the Nats went out and turned a 5-4 game in the eighth inning against the Cubs into a 14-6 nightmare. With Miami's sweep over the weekend of the Mets, the Nats are now the only team in the majors without a three game-winning streak. And there's no possible way this team will be over .500 on Memorial Day. Could there be a crisis of confidence in DC?
Dissecting the Division- the Phillies are 27-19 and have won three straight while the Braves have won seven of ten to improve to 25-22. The Mets have lost five straight to slip to 20-25. And the Nats are chasing all three teams in this race.
Harper's Weekly- Bryce batted .269 with two homers and six RBI to give the former face of the franchise .235-9-31 after 46 games. He's on a pace for 32 HR & 109 RBI if he doesn't get hurt. Harper's also on a pace for 218 strikeouts; and he'll most certainly be hurt to hear the boos from an impatient fan base if he continues to provide swings and misses.
O's Woes- the Birds drop three of four in Cleveland, allowing 10+ runs twice to the Indians. The 15-31 record is one game better than last year's march to nowhere. The pitching is bad. But on the bright side, Dwight Smith Jr. and Trey Mancini are producing. Unfortunately, the AL East-leading New York Yankees are in town and the Orioles are an MLB-worst 6-18 at home this year.
Last Week's Heroes- Gerardo Parra continues to be the hero the Nats need, hitting .500 with a homer and 3 RBI. Anthony Rendon is also hitting his stride, batting .435 while scoring eight runs and driving in seven. Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin each won their starts while allowing one earned run over eight innings.
Last Week's Humbled- one rough week for Jeremy Hellickson, who goes 0-2 with an ERA of 9.00. Relievers Dan Jennings, Justin Miller, Kyle Barraclough and Matt Grace all post double-digit ERA's-with Grace's 15.43 the big number of the week. Catcher Yon Gomes (now .206 on the season) continues to struggle with an 0-11 week.
Game to Watch- yes, the Nats are 2-8 in games Max Scherzer starts. And yes, his ERA of 3.72 over ten starts is his highest since 2012 (the year before his first Cy Young Award in Detroit). But it's a duel against Jacob deGrom and for all we know it might just be to keep this team from falling ten games below .500. Max-See-TV once more.
Game to Miss- the Nats aren't just 2-13 in series openers, they're also winless on Fridays since last August. Jeremy Hellickson and his 6.23 ERA take to the mound on South Capitol Street against Pablo Lopez and his ERA of 5.06. Last Friday's game took over four hours. Brace yourselves for another potentially long night.

This book tells the tale of Gregor Samsa, a young salesman, who wakes up one day to find he has turned into 'a kind of giant bug'. Samsa has been a model of virtue for years, single handedly supporting his parents and sister, but suddenly he finds himself an outcast in his own home, facing a world in which he no longer has a place. Both harrowing and humorous, this book is a strange, subtle and moving story which everyone should read.
By Franz Kafka

About — Kiesendahl + Calhoun Fine Art, Ltd.
In 2003 avid art aficionado and collector Nancy Kiesendahl Bloch realized her dream of opening up an art gallery. Trained in business, she asked her long time friend Camilla Calhoun, who had museum and gallery experience, to join in her endeavor. The pair opened a wonderful gallery space on Main Street in Beacon, New York, assuming that with DIA Beacon, the area would become a mecca of art. Their first show, featuring Parisian artist Lindy Foss Quillet, was a resounding success. After two years of exciting openings that featured international, regional and local artists, their disappointment with every day traffic made them decide to take their show on the road. They collaborated with the Italian Cultural Institute to introduce the renowned Florentine sculptor and ceramic artist Paolo Staccioli to the USA. Following the Cultural Institute's exhibit in New York City, the exhibit traveled to the Italian Embassy in Washington, DC. At the same time, they arranged for two of Staccioli's six feet figures to be exhibited at the prestigious outdoor sculpture garden at LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton. Kiesendahl+Calhoun continued to organize Staccioli exhibits in Chelsea and Westchester, NY. and one in 2016 with the Hammond Museum.
In 2006 Kiesendahl+Calhoun Fine Art, Ltd were invited to open a gallery space at the Lodge at Woodloch, a destination spa in Hawley Pennsylvania. Aside from guests that arrive from a broad metropolitan region, the gallery has a growing enthusiastic audience in the local community. The seasonal shows they organize and mount feature two artists per season, with approximately fifty works of art, primarily paintings and photography, both representational and abstract.
After working over a decade with art and artists, Nancy and Camilla, who have eclectic tastes, believe passionately that acquiring original art is not about investment, it is about creating a visual space that is a powerful source of joy every day. Art, they are convinced, is essential for every living and working space. Nancy and Camilla are always available to assist anyone interested in beginning or expanding their art collection.

I've talked about Burroughs before in such a way that might suggest that I am familiar with his work. I like to think that this is true. He pumps my engine, literarily speaking. Not literally speaking. I don't have an engine. It would be fair to say that I have read a great deal of what Burroughs has put out into the world. Most, but not the vast majority. It should also be made clear that this does not take into account the huge body of work that was not 'put out into the world'. There was this sort of odd beginning to it in which I was first put onto Burroughs by a video game magazine. This was in 1993. I gradually made my way through the books discussed within over the years to follow.
It would've been about late '95 that I read Naked Lunch, which would've made me twelve or thirteen. I honestly didn't really know what to think of it right away. This isn't to say that there was no thinking. There was. I thought things about it. I thought a lot of things about it. I very quickly thought it was the kind of book that I shouldn't really let people know that I was reading. I was kind of operating in that mode at the time. I also thought that there were a lot of things in it that I didn't really understand to the extent that the author had perhaps intended. There were a lot of things being thought about a lot of the things that I came across in the book. It's that kind of book though. That's what it does to you. There will be things about things.
Naked Lunch is an experience in literature. A lot of people have tried to emulate it over the past 54 years, with varying degrees of success. As is the way with such things. For my money that's what Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was. Naked Lunch is scarier though. It's far more deranged. It is the product of a really broken mind. Where Thompson's glibness manages to pull off comedic, Burroughs is dark, because the situation he is in falls pretty neatly into the 'nightmare scenario' category.
The surreal vignettes give it life as the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland of a different time and place, which I'm fairly certain that I've said before. I know I've said it with my mouth at parties and bus stops, but I'm fairly certain the main gist of that message exists somewhere else here in writing.
I should be clear at this stage. Where Fear and Loathing is a recounting of actual(ish) events, Naked Lunch is 'semi-autobiographical'. The degree of actual biography involved in Naked Lunch is probably less than in the two books that immediately preceded it, Junkie and Queer, but those don't really give you much of an indicator. I ended up reading Junkie and Queer afterwards, but I think you should read them before hand. Order of publication is probably the way to go in this case.
Burroughs was responsible for a whole literary armada. I'm not sure that he really gets the recognition that I feel he deserves in this respect. His work inspired other literary admirals who were more directly influential, but all those subsequent ships wouldn't have set sail without Burroughs. They wouldn't even have been wrighted. It would've been an entirely different naval scenario.
The boats are books here.
