Sedans were completely redesigned for 2012 and carry over basically unchanged for 2013. Ante up to the 335i models and you get what, just a few years ago, would have been the domain of V-8 engines—and the high-performance M3. The ActiveHybrid3 offers lower emissions, however. Furthermore, it is a pleasure to drive car, strong and sturdy. Back seat is useful but cramped for anyone bigger than a small teenager. This class is mostly rear-wheel drive, though Audi is the exception with its front-wheel drive platform. While a six-speed manual transmission is available with the xDrive model as a no-charge option, the version of the car that I drove featured an eight-speed automatic that also featured steering wheel-mounted shift paddles that I could use to indulge in the fantasy that I could change gears with greater prescience than the vehicle's computer.

A button above the starter allowed me to turn this feature off, but it didn't always seem to take, with the car occasionally defaulting back to turning itself on and off as it sat at a light. Meanwhile, the ActiveHybrid3 sedan debuts for 2013, offering 28 mpg combined and an eye-popping price. True, the two serve completely different purposes, but the 335i's 0-60 mph time of 4. Both engines use a twin-scrolling turbocharger that delivers power quickly, and at low enough rpm, that the engines never feel lagged or stretched for power. Manual mode: when gears are being shifted via lever or paddles manually by the driver. The ActiveHybrid3 offers lower emissions, however. All the seats we tried, base, Sport, Luxury, Modern, were comfortable and held us in place.
While all of the 335i models have a lot of visual appeals, the coupe is a bit sleeker and smaller than the sedan. The body is lighter and bigger than the last model so space has been improved along with fuel economy. Optional rearview camera and side and top-view cameras can help the driver spot a child behind the car when backing up. With better seat contouring and that added inch or two, it's now possible to fit adults in back, although taller occupants will still be splaying their knees and you won't want to subject adults to vast distances in the back seat. In back, the 3-Series is at its most traditional and conservative. I have done one oil change, bought all season floor mats and bought a sun shade. The 3-Series grew last year and added a host of tech features cribbed from the 5- and 7-Series.

There is a whole lot of technology in this car. These cars are very easy to control at the limit, giving the driver confidence, delivering joy. It's available with either rear- or all-wheel drive and makes a modest 180 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. Toggling between Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+ can alter the car's behavior, including throttle response, transmission shifts, and stability control. In short, if you wouldn't have to listen to the somewhat less sweet soundtrack of the 328i models you'd never guess that it's packing just four cylinders. It exacts somewhat of a fuel mileage penalty when comparing the car to its rear-wheel drive counterpart: the xDrive delivers 20-mpg in city driving and 30-mpg on the highway, while the standard 335i is three miles per gallon better for each respective measure. Prices do not include manufacturer's destination and delivery charges.

Meanwhile, the ActiveHybrid3 sedan debuts for 2013, offering 28 mpg combined and an eye-popping price. They're slightly bigger, faster and more fuel-efficient than the previous E90 generation 2006-2011. The instrument panel is laid out in a horizontal way that maximizes interior space and presents the optional, widescreen display on the dash by itself. In government crash testing, the sedan received five out of five stars for overall crash protection, plus four stars for frontal protection and five for side protection. The following review will run through some of the top 335i coupe features in comparison to past models and other, similar cars on the market. Since the introduction of the 335i, the 335 refers to a 3.

Shift into Reverse and the rearview camera automatically displays what's behind the car, valuable for helping the driver spot a low post or a small child. Lane Departure Warning and Active Blind Spot Detection are optional. The 335i is no different. In Germany, we imagine parades being held in its honor with blue-and-white checkered flags flapping from windows as men in lederhosen clang steins of Franziskaner together in a foamy exclamation of celebratory revelry. On the downside, it does generate a tremendous amount of brake dust — be prepared to clean the wheels not less than once a week. Each have a unique grille and subtle exterior trim differences. Advantage sedan With four doors that open wide, getting in and out is easy.
Since the early 80s, they have been driving the standards for sports cars and luxury vehicles. This same feat takes the Audi A4 2. Whether standard or Sport seats, the 3-Series boasts plenty of flexibility for long legs, including extendable thigh support and plentiful side bolstering. . Coupe and convertible models are based on the previous generation 3-Series and have a different engine lineup, including the high-performance, V8-powered M3. Fast forward to the latest designs, minus Chris Bangle at the helm, and there is a cohesive design incorporated into all three lines to the point that the new 3 Series can look like a 5 from just a few paces away.
The bolstering completely envelopes and supports the driver without being obtrusive. Just a real drivers car that makes every commute a real fun moment! The engine is set back behind front axle to improve weight distribution and handling. Whether standard or Sport seats, the 3-Series boasts plenty of flexibility for long legs, including extendable thigh support and plentiful side bolstering. The sport seats did their job holding me in place and thus raised cornering speeds.

HILLSBORO, Ore., June 14, 2011 – Already a world solar-industry leader in product protections, SolarWorld has once again increased the value of its warranty coverage as it introduces a new, more powerful lineup of silver as well as black Next Generation Sunmodule™ Plus solar panels.
The largest U.S. solar manufacturer since 1975, SolarWorld now offers an Extended Workmanship Warranty, which covers the workmanship of its high-performance solar panels for 10 years, up from the previous five years. The Extended Workmanship Warranty retroactively covers all panels delivered since Jan. 1, 2011.
Silver-frame solar panels with 250 watts-peak of power, 4-inch-longer cable lengths for easier installation and two versatile framing options (2.0 and 2.5).
Black solar panels with 245 watts-peak; 2.0 Frame – ideal for residential mounting methods; and Hallmark SolarWorld silver corners, incorporating four possible grounding locations.
In 1997, U.S. operations of SolarWorld were first to offer a 25-year performance guarantee. In 2010, SolarWorld was first to offer a linear performance warranty, which guaranteed ongoing performance of SolarWorld PV modules at a predictable degradation of output of 0.90 percent a year over the life of the warranty, rather than the industry standard large reductions of coverage at irregular intervals. This policy combined with SolarWorld's Plus sorting policy, which pledged initial performance at or better than rated power performance. The Extended Workmanship Warranty further strengthens the combination of policies protecting the company's product.

Jefferson with 26, Nicholls routs Central Arkansas 100-57
THIBODAUX, La. (AP) — Jeremiah Jefferson scored 26 points as Nicholls routed Central Arkansas 100-57 on Saturday afternoon, snapping a three-game skid.
Jefferson was 9 of 18 from the field including five from distance for the Colonels (12-15, 5-9 Southland Conference), who were 22 of 41 from 3-point range (54 percent), a season high. Danny Garrick added 20 points, Kevin Johnson had 14 points and nine assists, Gavin Peppers had 12 points and Daniel Regis chipped in 10. Elvis Harvey led with 12 rebounds.
Nicholls scored first and never trailed, building to a 44-25 lead at the break.
The Colonels turned up the heat in the second half, as Jefferson, Garrick, Peppers and Jeremiah Buford combined for four 3-pointers early on to push it to 56-28 with 16:38 to play. Johnson's 3 with 9:37 remaining made it 76-40 and the Colonels cruised to the win.
Tanner Schmit scored 10 points to lead the Bears (10-17, 5-9) who have lost seven straight. Jared Chatham had seven rebounds.

With the normal cost of a veterinary office visit surpassing $150 nowadays, it's no big surprise that pet proprietors are effectively searching out lower cost other options to their pets' veterinary care. One prominent hotspot for veterinary administrations at diminished costs is the minimal effort pet center. The ubiquity of these versatile centers is becoming exponentially the nation over for one straightforward reason: with regards to veterinary preventive social insurance and outpatient pet medicinal services difficulties, for example, skin sensitivities, ear contaminations, and minor malady conditions, a minimal effort pet facility can spare pet proprietors huge cash!
Remember that a portable ease pet center is not the same as a versatile veterinary facility. The last generally alludes to a house call rehearse. Veterinary house calls can be expensive; you're paying for comfort (and mileage). In actuality, ease pet facilities are shabby in light of the fact that they keep overhead low. They set up shop in parking garages of malls or the private alcoves of nourish stores. These centers tend to stay in an area for a day or two and afterward proceed onward.
Run of the mill ease pet facilities represent considerable authority in one or a greater amount of the accompanying ranges: immunizations, parasite control and aversion, spay/fix, and/or minor outpatient veterinary restorative care. At the point when searching for one, know that some reject certain administrations. For instance, numerous breaking points their administrations to antibodies and parasite control and don't offer any outpatient mind. It is critical to solicit ahead from time.
Discovering one of these centers in your general vicinity can some of the time be dubious, as they are always moving. Here are a few tips to help you find one.
Get a free neighborhood daily paper and output the promotions for up and coming centers.
Call a sustain store or pet supply retailer in your general vicinity and inquire as to whether they hold a minimal effort pet center at their office. On the off chance that they don't, they most likely can help you discover a place that does.
Contact your neighborhood creature shield and inquire as to whether they know of a facility in the range. Sometimes, they may even hold one every once in a while.
Google "minimal effort veterinary" or "ease pet", trailed by the name of your city or town and see what comes up. For instance, Mobile Pet Care Clinic of Texas, an organization situated in San Antonio, TX, has its own site with the date, time, and area of every facility it conducts.
5. Contact your nearby State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners (or the proportional office in your specific state) and inquire as to whether they know of an up and coming minimal effort pet center being held in your city or town. Any veterinary practice that is not kept in one area must report the dates, times, and areas of every single portable center to these administrative bodies.

Q: Storing and retrieving IPv4 and IPv6 addresses There's a million questions on SO about the best way to store IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on a PHP/MySQL setup, but the answers are either out of date (only IPv4) or they're contradictory/incomplete.
I've created this question to go with a clear answer that gives you everything you need to know.

A: When you only had to worry about IPv4, you could use PHP's ip2long and long2ip to quickly and easily convert an IP address to a integer. These days, however, nearly everyone should expect to come across some IPv6 addresses at some point, and that's something that's only going to increase.
A common and efficient solution to have both is to use PHP's inet_pton function (which handles both IPv4 and v6), and then store the result in a VARBINARY(16) column in your database.
So, let's say we have an IPv6 address like: FE80:0000:0000:0000:0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329
When converted with inet_pton and stored in a VARBINARY(16) column it looks like this:
0xfe800000000000000202b3fffe1e8329
You can then retrieve this from your database and display it using inet_ntop.
Eg:
echo inet_ntop($ipAddressFromDB);

This is a quick and efficient way to store IP addresses in an MySQL database.

A: At this point in time you're doing yourself a disservice if you're not building your application to accommodate IPv6, and this is going to become even more true over time. For this reason I've started storing all IP addresses in IPv6 format, and using 6to4 notation for IPv4 addresses.
The TL;DR for 6to4 is:

The first 16 bits of the prefix are always 2002:, the next 32 bits are the IPv4 address, and the last 16 bits of the prefix are [not important for this purpose]

So let's say that your IP address is 222.173.190.239, we convert that to 6to4 notation by:
sprintf('2002:%s::', implode(':', str_split(str_pad(dechex(ip2long($addr)), 8, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT), 2)));

Which becomes: 2002:de:ad:be:ef::
Which you convert to binary form for storage by: inet_pton('2002:de:ad:be:ef::');
Which gives the 16-byte binary: 0x200200de00ad00be00ef000000000000
Which should be easily store-able and searchable.
I've previously written a helper class for this, and I've just pushed it up to Github and Packagist in case someone else might find it useful.

[p.247] A VERY entertaining book might be written by collecting together all the cases in which poets and play-writers and novelists have anticipated the triumphs of later science.
Of course Calderon referred in this passage to the well-known principle of resonance, and it is hardly accurate to twist his words into a prophecy of wireless telegraphy.
Of course the modern reader sees in this a premonition of our telegraph, in which the electric impulse, propagated in the older fashion along a wire or in the new way by a simple radiation in the ether, causes a magnetic needle to move according to the signals transmitted by the sender of the message. Strada went on to describe how these two friends made a kind of "alphabetic telegraph," as one of the predecessors of the telephone was called,—a dial-face with the letters of the alphabet round its edge, and a needle in the midst which could be made to point to any of them at will. These correspondents saw no need for wires, or even for the simpler apparatus which Mr. Marconi requires.
Even Mr. Marconi has not yet attained such simplicity as this, though Professor Ayrton (as we lately pointed out) believes that we shall reach an even higher standard one day.
Not only were there no grounds for the prediction of two satellites, but such an estimate of their distance from the planet was unprecedented: it was as if our moon should lie within twenty thousand miles of the earth, and rise and set twice or thrice in the twenty-four hours. Nothing could be more improbable. Yet in 1877 Professor Asaph Hall, with the great Washington equatorial, actually discovered two tiny satellites of Mars, whose distances from the planet are 1½ and 3½ diameters, whilst their periods are 7½ and 30 hours respectively. The agreement with Swift's guess is in the main so remarkable that it is hardly possible to ascribe it to mere accident; and yet these satellites are the merest points of light, which no telescope in existence before Herschel's day could possibly have shown. Some people assert that Swift had some extra-scientific means of knowing the truth by crystal-gazing, or astral currents, or one of the various uncanny methods which come within the scope of the Society for Psychical Research. Like Herodotus, one prefers not to say what one thinks of this interesting theory.
We can only glance at many other cases of similar anticipations which are known to students of this branch of literature. A notable instance is Fénelon's suggestion of photography in his imaginary travels.
At least, we need not ascribe such an origin to so natural an anticipation as that of the Paris "moving platform" by Rabelais in his "Isle of Odes." It has been suggested, with somewhat less show of reason, that Rabelais gave the world its first hint of the possibility of the phonograph in his account of the frozen words that startled Pantagruel and his joyous crew on their voyage to the oracle of the Holy Bottle.
A recent [p.248] correspondence in Nature pointed out that Virgil had spoken of liquid air, whilst Lucian had described the inhabitants of the moon, seventeen centuries ago, as drinking "air squeezed or compressed into a goblet," where it formed a kind of dew. The reader cannot but think of Professor Dewar's vacuum-jacketed vessels, though even the thirsty American visitor who complains so bitterly of the lack of ice and cool drinks in the English summer has not yet ventured on liquid air as a constituent of his cobblers and sangarees.
In the "New Atlantis" Bacon predicts submarine boats and "some degrees of flying is the air," which last phrase is a clear anticipation of M. Santos-Dumont. Of course Bacon can hardly be taken as a fair instance of the mere novelist, any more than Mr. H. G. Wells; it was his business to anticipate.
But the most extraordinary book of all is that which the Marquis of Worcester published in 1655, with its forecasts of telegraphs, steam-engines, flying and calculating machines, dynamite shells and torpedoes, ironclads, quick-firing guns, and revolvers. Unfortunately, the Marquis omitted to explain how any of these things could be made, and so we may fairly include his "Century of Inventions" among the forecasts of fiction.


When am I Covered with Pilot Life Insurance?
Just because you fly for a living does not mean the life insurance carrier will not cover you while you are or are not flying. While some companies sell "time-specific" policies for specific trips (traveller's life insurance is very common but limited to the time frame of the trip), you are looking to secure coverage as a term of whole of life policy.
As with any professional, your coverage is in place when you are both flying and on the ground.
Does the Type of Flying Affect My Coverage?
The broad stroke answer to this question is, "Yes". Different flying occupations will result in different types of premiums. For instance, someone that owns a small, personal jet flying "on demand" may see higher premiums than a pilot that is flying larger commercial jets for a living.
In addition, the more experience the pilot has, they more likely he or she is to see lower premiums offered for coverage. genesage.com/life-insurance-for-dangerous-hobbies covers similar ground as well as a discussion relating to high risk hobbies and other pastimes.
Life insurance companies also consider some types of pilots as uninsurable. For instance, it can be quite difficult for "crop dusters" to secure coverage simply due to the fact that the relative nature of their flying is considered more dangerous. Mind you, this is not true of all companies, so it may take some research to find a company that will accept this type of pilot as an applicant.
Will I have to take a Medical Exam for Pilot Life Insurance?
While not all companies require medical exams, the nature of the profession makes it far more likely that the carrier will want a recent medical exam before approving coverage. For most pilots, though, this is not a concern, as pilots in general are in exceptional health due to the nature of the profession.
For most professional/commercial pilots, an exam is mandatory every year simply to keep their job, so this should not be a make or break issue for someone looking to secure life insurance.

Cougar football fall camp, Mike Leach, have been relaxed
By Jessica Roberts on August 12, 2017
Photo Credit: Dean Rutz / The Seattle Times
It took six days for head coach Mike Leach too get angry over a unit's poor performance during fall camp; it was the back-up offensive linemen. That's abnormal for coach, at least during his tenure on the Palouse, as he's previously had a some pretty good rants during previous camps.
But it's not just the head coach that's been relaxed this season, the team has been relaxed this season. Just look at the below video where running backs Jamal Morrow and Gerard Wicks video bomb a teammate's post practice interview…with a golf cart.
I feel like @OlBoyJmo and Gerard Wicks are taking this whole 'One last ride with the boys' thing too seriously…#Cougs #BeastMode pic.twitter.com/62dA1WuP7K
— Evan Closky (@ECloskyWTSP) August 10, 2017
The team is out there having fun together in fall camp, and I don't know when the last time we saw the program have this much fun (publically) during fall camp. It's going to be interesting see how this relaxed atmosphere in fall camp translates to the season, especially with the number of returning starters the offense has coming back.
Luke Falk decided to come back for his senior seasons instead of leaving early for the NFL, which is a pretty big deal — in case you didn't already know. And he'll be returning behind an incredibly experienced offensive line that is only replacing its starting center — there are three NFL prospects on that offensive line, three. The Cougars will also be returning all three of their running backs this season — Wicks, Morrow, and James Williams — which means that they've worked with this offense like and they'll know when to hit the gaps…or when to help pick up a blitz.
The relaxed atmosphere around camp is good, it's good to see these guys having fun. Despite the disappointing end to last season, it seems like this team is ready to roll.

Solitude without souls: why Peter Unger hasn't established substance dualism
Will Bynoe
Nicholas K Jones
Unger has recently argued that if you are the only thinking and experiencing subject in your chair, then you are not a material object. This leads Unger to endorse a version of Substance Dualism according to which we are immaterial souls. This paper argues that this is an overreaction. We argue that the specifically Dualist elements of Unger's view play no role in his response to the problem; only the view's structure is required, and that is available to Unger's opponents. We outline one such non-Dualist view, suggest how to resolve the dispute, respond to some objections, and argue that ours is but one of many views that survive Unger's challenge. All these views are incompatible with microphysicalism. So Unger's discussion does contain an insight: if you are the only conscious subject in your chair, then microphsyicalism is false. Unger's mistake was to infer Substance Dualism from this; for microphysicalism is not the only alternative to Dualism.

The V922 has a unconventional way of allowing the pilots to fly inverted. There is a helpful function dubbed "Easy control". You'll find a switch on the top left hand corner of the transmitter. It helps you to keep the same direction control when flying inverted, so you won't feel lost in orientation when performing inverted flight. Of course, some of you may feel that this is totally wrong and its pretty much cheating. If so, you can switch off easy control and fly inverted normally, or the hard way.


Green Bean Endurance – Challenge. Support. Celebrate.
What is Green Bean Endurance?
"Green Bean" is a term coined to describes people who are interested in the sport of endurance riding or perhaps have recently started endurance riding. Perhaps it's someone who started ages ago and had 'life' get in the way. Does that describe you? If so, then you're in the right place!
Our program provides a way for new riders to develop realizable goals in their budding endurance career. Through our program, riders are encouraged to join other riders to form teams who then challenge each other to earn the most points during the season. All riders have less than 1,000 combined LD and Endurance miles.
GBEC recognizes riders who complete a 'first' in their endurance career. Perhaps it's a first LD, a first 100, or even a first pull. All tries are rewarded with a point scoring system and at year end, a small prize is given to top earning riders and teams. Everyone who earns the minimum points for the year gets a completion certificate and pin.
Good luck on your endurance adventure! Saddle up and enjoy the journey – you've found the best equine sport around!
Compete with other Green Beans for year end prizes. Earn points for not only riding in AERC rides but also for volunteering, finishing an intro, and more!
Our program is a place where other new people in the sport can meet and share experiences. We are here to support you.
Our program recognizes everyone's path is different. Sometimes just showing up to a ride a major feat! We love to celebrate your successes!
For only $15, get a chance at winning monthly flash prizes, earn awards for top riders and teams, and join the Endomondo Challenges. You can also complete Garden Chores to win a tack set! If that's not enough, our members get exclusive discounts to endurance related retailers.
Created in 2015 after recognizing the need for a way to connect new AERC members, Green Bean Endurance has grown from 10 teams and 50 members to over 425 members and 60 teams in just 4 seasons. In late 2017, the program was officially recognized by the American Endurance Ride Conference.
The program is ran completely by volunteers, who, like you, are AERC members who love the sport and the people. Check out the "Meet your Directors" page for a biography on each volunteer. If you are interested in helping out, don't hesitate to contact us.

SLCR Social Distancing Special
Hello! I miss you. I hope you're well and healthy, staying in touch with people at a rate that's acceptable for you, and that your hands aren't all cracked and dry from excessive washing.
We're doing fine here. Staying home, playing Animal Crossing or clearing movies off the DVR. Sometimes I play Pokémon Go from the car at some of my favourite parking spots. I go to Safeway every 10 days or so, and one time I went to London Drugs just to buy an uncommon size of battery for the smoke detector, which legitimately felt thrilling. (They had sugar too!) I need a haircut and I've never been so caught up on laundry.
I'm working from home, if you want to call what I do "work." It doesn't feel particularly essential at the best of times, and these aren't the best of times. At least, I really hope they aren't. But I dutifully sit at my desk in my 70s basement with my coworkers Ken and Carl (a spider plant and our fabled cat, respectively) and send out emails to tell people to watch Schitt's Creek. (Available on demand!)
It turns out that I have no opportunity to write concert reviews when there aren't any concerts. Glass Tiger, Corb Lund, and Matthew Good all cancelled. Joel Plaskett and Alice Cooper rescheduled to the fall. I can't imagine BA Johnston will be here this month, so I'm spared from feeling bad about being too tired to go. That leaves July's old-man show of Canadian 90s rock icons and SLCR veterans The Tea Party, Moist, Big Wreck, and The Headstones. I'm hopeful that we can go see at least 25% of them, but I don't expect it to happen.
Which leads me here! A lot of musicians I like are doing shows online and I'd like to signal-boost them a bit. I don't really know how many I'm going to cover or when I'm going to post this or if I'm going to do more than one. I think the review parts will be pretty short since, for the most part, you should be able to check these out yourself if you're really so inclined.
Geoff Berner (April 11, 2020)
concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvOQ8nxTPpQ
buy music: https://geoffberner.bandcamp.com/
but he'd rather you donate: https://www.comingtogethervancouver.org/
This show was recorded at Or Shalom synagogue, an appropriate venue for the klezmer half of Berner's klezmer-punk music. I suspect it hasn't played host to a lot of songs that translate into "Fuck the Police," but I don't know, I've never been to a synagogue before. Which reminds me of the time I tried to buy a button that said "Kiss me, I'm Jewish" at a garage sale because I wanted to lie for kisses, not thinking that most of the time, the owner of a "Kiss me, I'm Jewish" button would be an actual Jew, who in this case was very excited to meet me and curious as to why he'd never seen me at the synagogue before. But I digress.
Obviously, these productions won't compare to actually going out to see live music. But despite the lack of audience and minimal crew, Berner put on quite the enjoyable hour-long set. There were techs handling audio and video with minimal hiccups, and someone "who lives in my house" (a son, I think?) manning a second camera that was able to get in closer. A small touch that made this a lot more watchable by not restricting us to one static viewpoint. The sound quality was good, and Berner seemed relaxed and in good spirits, jokingly playing to the imaginary crowd and telling stories about each song.
I've seen Berner many times before and he's an acquired taste. Most of my friends who have tried to acquire this taste have failed. I watched this show with earbuds in while Mika watched TV and we were both happier that way. But who knows? Maybe you'll enjoy a lefter-than-left-wing accordion player with a wry, pessimistic sense of humour and a penchant for playing the occasional song in Yiddish. He usually translates them as he goes along, you'll be fine.

If you've got extra time to fill during this here shutdown, Ben Folds is your guy. He was supposed to be performing with Australian orchestras when this all went down. Due to ever-changing conditions, he found himself missing the window to return home to the US. No problem – he rented an apartment in Sydney, bought an electric piano and a webcam, and set up for weekly free performances every Saturday on YouTube at 5pm my time. That's 7pm Eastern and Sunday morning in Australia; you figure out the rest.
If one show a week isn't enough, sign up for his Patreon. $10/month gets you 3 additional weekly shows and 4 Rock This Bitch song downloads. (They're improvised live songs. It's a whole thing I could explain but won't.) One of the extra shows is meant for musicians and music teachers, with an over-the-shoulder view showing how he plays certain songs. In another, he makes up songs with fan-submitted lyrics. The third is a Patreon-only request show, which – unlike the others – I've actually watched. He's very game to try any song from his back catalogue, even if he has to look up the lyrics or listen to a snippet on his phone to remember what chord it's in. There's a lot of messing up and a lot of swearing.
On that note, the show linked above – his fourth weekly public concert since the shutdown – is titled "TRYING AGAIN" and opens with him on his phone, squinting at his computer, saying "the current resolution is not optimal – well then, tell me what fucking IS optimal?!" We've all been there. Ben's also currently clean-shaven because he tried to trim his beard and messed it up. Very relatable.
Between notoriously poor Australian internet – basically, it's like if my house was a country – and Folds having to do all his own setup and hands-on technical support, there can be some snafus with these. You never know when he'll switch from one of his songs to an ad-libbed musical complaint about how the pedals are sliding away and that doesn't happen with a real piano.
That said, this was a really fun show. With upgraded mics and camera, the sound and video quality have greatly improved since these began. But more importantly, Folds is a fan-friendly performer, taking requests from the illegibly scrolling chat, dropping fans' names into songs, running a drinking game (take a drink every time he messes up) (do not do this, you'll die), enjoying morning beers, and doing several greatest hits albums' worth of songs in one medley. It's intimate and unrehearsed and feels like just hanging out as much a concert.
BA Johnston: (April 25, 2020)

Before this was announced, I'd actually singled out BA Johnston as someone who wouldn't be putting on streaming shows. He releases albums, sure, but you really need the full live experience to understand BA, and that includes significant crowd interaction. You need the beer and the sweat and the Cheezies and the sparklers and the screaming and the same jokes every time.
And yet, here we are. Airing live from This Ain't Hollywood in his hometown of Hamilton, Ontario (and with messages of support from owners of various bars that BA frequents, including Amigo's in Saskatoon), BA did his best to put on his full live show in front of an audience of the two guys handling sound and video. The jokes, the costume changes, the whole schtick was still there. He even closed the set in the bathroom, though he did wrap things up with uncharacteristic sincerity and well wishes.
There was a long stretch of technical issues before everything began – feel free to skip that part. When they did get it working, both the sound and video were the weakest of the of the shows I've seen. Though I will say that I watched this in two halves – the first part live streaming to my TV, and the second on replay with headphones on my computer – and the sound came in a lot better on the replay. I'm not sure if the live showing was having bandwidth issues, or if I just don't expect as much coming out of a little Facebook window.
The technical issues mean that if you're new to BA Johnston, this might not be your best introduction, but that aside, it's still a night of funny, catchy songs that will stick in your head for days – classics like GST Cheque, new ones like We're All Going to Jail (Except Pete, He's Gonna Die), and even unreleased songs from his upcoming album, Werewolves of London, Ontario. Plus, you'll wind up way less sweaty than if you go see him in person, mostly because he can't sweat on you if you're watching at home on your Acer laptop.

This show was held over Zoom, that video conferencing software that was probably created by the same people who created this virus. It makes sense if you think about it. Follow the money, sheeple.
Side Door was founded by Dan Mangan to help touring musicians set up and sell tickets to house concerts. That's not happening at the moment, so it's pivoted to online shows. They're not expensive – this was $8 US – but it helps make a little money while there's no touring. A bunch of Canadian artists have been performing on there, including Terra Lightfoot, Said The Whale, Jill Barber, Danny Michel, Sarah Slean, and Mangan himself. And Steven Page. Which you likely figured out.
Zoom works well for this type of setup. The host takes up most of the screen, and viewers (at least the ones who don't turn their cameras off like I do) appear in a row of little boxes at the top of the screen, not dissimilar to a Press Your Luck board. That said, you may have heard of Zoombombing, where hackers take advantage of Zoom's many security flaws to invade conference calls. I watched Page's show last week too, and mid-song, the chat suddenly got REAL racist, and one of the video streams began showing gay porn. So that was fun. They had more moderators this week, and there are added security steps for next week's show. Which does nothing for you, since that show's already sold out, but I bet there'll be more shows, if you have eight bucks kicking around.
I had good plans to write up last week's show but then a week went by and I, uh, didn't. So you get this one instead. Both were fun, live from Page's basement with him mostly playing guitar but also on keys for a bit. The sound is pretty good; I find the video a little choppy but I also have trash internet. There were songs spanning Page's entire career, with a nice mix of Barenaked Ladies songs and all his solo stuff. Plus, since he was taking requests, it wasn't just all the hits, which is either a big positive or a big negative for you.
Since you can't just go watch this one, I'll go through the setlist:
Shoebox (if you want to feel old, sing along with "you're so 1990 and it's 1994")
Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank (Page noted that this might be the first time he ever played this song solo)
Manchild
Break Your Heart
Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel (with a bit of So Political by Spirit of the West)
So Young, So Wrong, So Long
Over Joy
The Old Apartment (He messed this up over and over last week, and noted that he got requests to "play it right this week") (He messed it up again and cracked himself up real good)
Maybe You're Right
What A Good Boy
The Chorus Girl (I don't know this one that well, but oh man, the chat was so happy he played this one. He talked a lot about what it was about. Then he had everyone unmuted so everyone could sing along with the "la la la" part and man, having 800+ people unmuted at once sounded like what you'd hear when you open the gates of hell. Then they tried muting everyone again – including Page – but a few people couldn't be muted and didn't know how to mute themselves and kept talking while the chat got super mad at them. Then the chat got hacked and racist.)
I thought this was good fun. Mika said it was fine. The cat didn't appreciate being woken up.
This feels like a good place to stop for now. More to come.

Open source incest: GPL forked by its coauthor
Will licensing licentiousness rile Free Softies?
Updated One of the principal authors of version 3 of the Gnu General Public License (GPL) has spun off his own version of the license without the participation of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), in a move that could ruffle feathers in the often-cantankerous free software community.
The new license has been dubbed GPL.next, and it's the brainchild of Richard Fontana, who along with Eben Moglen and Richard Stallman helped to draft the GPLv3, which debuted in 2007.
Fontana's free software credentials are solid. He currently serves as the open source and patent licensing counsel for Red Hat, though he says the Linux vendor is not involved or affiliated with the GPL.next effort in any way. Previously, he was legal counsel to the Software Freedom Law Center.
Fontana has launched GPL.next as a project on GitHub, a collaboration website popular with software developers, and development of the new license will be a collaborative effort. In the welcome text of the GPL.next project, Fontana writes:
Contributions of patches, ideas, and criticism are welcome. Forks in the GitHub sense are encouraged. The goal of this effort is to develop an improved strong copyleft free software license.
"Copyleft" here refers to a type of free software license that requires all modified and extended versions of the software to also be free. The Gnu GPL is the most prominent example of such a license. Non-copyleft software licenses, such as the Apache and BSD licenses, allow developers to make their modified versions of the software proprietary, if they so choose.
Fontana is quick to point out that GPL.next is not really a new version of the Gnu GPL, though it is derived from it. Although the FSF discourages modified versions of the GPL, they are permitted, provided they meet certain conditions. One condition is that they go by a different name – hence, GPL.next (and no reference to Gnu).
Still not altogether clear, however, is just what Fontana hopes to accomplish with the new license, or why he decided that an end-run around the FSF was the best way to achieve his goals. Neither Fontana nor the FSF responded to requests for comment on this story.
A presentation Fontana gave at the Fosdem free and open source developer conference in Brussels in February 2012 may offer some clues, however. In the presentation, titled, "The decline of the GPL and what do do about it," Fontana said that "strong copyleft is vitally important," but he described the GPLv3 as "a lost opportunity to stem anti-copyleft shift."
Among the problems with the Gnu GPL that Fontana identified in his presentation were the length and complexity of the license, the "collapse" of the authority of the FSF, and the shift toward cloud-based applications, which are incompatible with traditional open source licenses.
Whether a new, independent software license is the answer to these problems, however, is debatable. The Open Source Initiative currently lists 69 different free and open source licenses for developers to choose from – and when it comes to software licensing matters, more is not merrier. ®
Over the weekend, the Register was able to reach Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation and primary author of all previous versions of the Gnu GPL.
"Exploring ideas for a modified copyleft license can't hurt," he writes in an email. "But we studied the field thoroughly for GPLv3, so one shouldn't presume another project will come up with a better license."

Member of Technical Staff,
[Corporation name withheld]
We use extended duration, cyclical, "life tests" to validate the durability and reliability of a product during its development. Depending on the product and its application, these life tests can be highly resource-intensive which leads to increased cost. When testing involves plasma, it becomes significantly more complicated to scale back resource consumption without changing the characteristics of the plasma and affecting the outcome and relevancy of the test. The QDB global plasma model tool from Quantemol, coupled with their extensive plasma collisions and reactions database, enabled us to rapidly explore various optimization methodologies and parameters for the plasma-based life test of a new product we're developing. We were able to arrive at an optimized plasma process which gives us equivalent species densities and an electron temperature as close as possible to the intended, final application process. This optimized process uses roughly 30 times less resources than the final application process. The money we saved pays for the subscription to QDB about 100 times over. We are quite satisfied!
Dr Paul Adamson, Naval Research Laboratory, USA
The speed with which you provided me a trial of QEC is greatly appreciated. I am very impressed with the software and plan to purchase it very soon.

"Q-VT is an ideal platform for plasma reactor simulation, combining an intuitive GUI for getting started easily with expert level capabilities for accessing advanced features. The support is very responsive and efficiently provides customized solutions."
Ane Aanesland,
Head of the Low Temperature Plasma group at the Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas,
Ecole Polytechnique – CNRS, France
"Iodine might be a promising future propellant in electric space propulsion, however making predictive simulation of the thruster performances was difficult because the cross sections for the vast variety of electron-neutral collisions in iodine were lacking. With the service from Quantemol, we have been able to include a complete chemistry set in our global models and fluid simulations of iodine plasmas and compare gridded ion thrusters operating in Iodine and Xenon. We will definitely use Quantemol services again should we need more electron-molecule scattering cross sections data."
Prof. K. N. Joshipura,
Department of Physics,
Sardar Patel University,
Gujarat-India
"We – myself and my students – are happy users of the Quantemol-N UK package code for the past two years. Earlier we were working on electron scattering at intermediate and high energies, but with this code we have extended our energy range to low energies as well. We have now made comprehensive calculations on electron collision processes from almost 0.1 to about 2000 eV, for a variety of well known and lesser known molecules. An important output of the Quantemol is in the form of BEB ionization cross sections, which we can now compare with cross sections calculated in our method."
Prof. Dr Zoran Lj. Petrovic,
Institute of Physics Belgrade,
University of Belgrade,
Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences
"We are users of a lot of electron-molecule scattering data since models of swarm transport coefficients and weakly ionized gases require complete representation of number, momentum and energy balances. Thus we were really happy to hear that there is a code that may cover some of the missing data and that it was packaged in such a way that we (non specialists) could use it. In our first months of use we were really impressed by the level of cooperation, support and understanding from the Quantemol-N staff and how the code has grown to a very user friendly system, based, to a considerable degree, on our initial difficulties in using the code. In very short time the code has become one of the most important tools in our work on evaluation of cross section sets for plasma modeling. Most importantly the code deals with some systems that cannot be studied experimentally easily, such as radicals and very reactive molecules."
Dr Tom Field,
Centre for Plasma Physics,
School of Maths and Physics,
"Good software for finding low energy electron molecule scattering resonances with excellent user support."
An industrial user
"We are fully satisfied with your software and support. We are convinced it is absolutely beneficial to our business. In addition we appreciate your regular and frequent software updates and are looking forward to more implemented innovations."
A conference delegate

A Decade of Failure – New York Sports
Will S, Managing Editor|February 26, 2020
As we rang in the new year and new decade with happiness and joy, most New York sports fans found themselves praying for a better decade of sports. To simply put it, the past decade of sports for New York fans was both embarrassing and a failure. Within this article, we will analyze the three major professional sports (NBA, MLB, NFL) and the New York teams' successes within these categories.
New York basketball is for sure the most disappointing aspect of New York sports. Both the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets have given their fans nothing but low expectations and sad moments for as long as they can remember. The Knicks and Nets last NBA championships were 1973 and 1976, respectively. For the Knicks, an even more embarrassing statistic than this 40 year drought is their net worth. Despite consecutively being the most valuable franchise, valued at over four billion dollars, the Knicks have failed to find the right front office to put their money to good use. Moreover, the Knicks have found themselves being constantly plagued with bad draft positions despite finishing with a horrible record every season. On the other hand, the Nets, who just signed two superstars to max-deal contracts, are making their way towards success. While the Knicks future looms with more disappointment, Nets fans have more reasons to be optimistic in the new decade.
New York baseball was definitely disappointing for both Mets and Yankees fans this decade. On one hand, the Mets made their first World Series appearance in over 10 years in 2015. However, after an incredible run in the playoffs, the Mets bullpen failed to show up as they were walloped in five games by the Kansas City Royals. The Mets have still failed to win a World Series since 1986, marking one of the longest droughts presently in Major League Baseball. The Mets have been plagued with unfortunate injury sequences, such as their star player Yoenis Cespedes who has now been sidelined for almost two seasons after an encounter with a Wild Boar (you really can't make this stuff up!) The Yankees, baseball's winningest team, also failed to win a World Series this decade. Just a few weeks ago, the Yankees bolstered their potential for the next decade as they signed All-Star pitcher, Gerrit Cole, to a record-breaking 324 million dollar contract.
Besides the one year of joy in 2012 for Giants fans, all three New York football teams have endured suffering throughout the decade. The Giants started the decade hot, winning two super bowls in four years, and eventually spiraled down to a consistently bad team that commonly saw head coach and front office changes. It has been 24 years since the Buffalo Bills have won a playoff game. Moreover, after losing four superbowls in a row in the 1990s, Bills fans have never experienced the excitement of a championship being brought back to Buffalo. The New York Jets, who started off the decade with an AFC Championship appearance, have yet to appear in the playoffs since 2010. This is the third longest active playoff drought in the NFL. The Jets have seen multitudes of quarterback changes, head coach changes, General Manager changes, and much more turnover. Despite annual efforts to rebuild, the Jets have been nothing less than pathetic and a let down to their fans year after year. With the Bills making the playoffs this year, their stock rises in the AFC East, giving Bills fans mere hope for this next decade. The Giants just hired Joe Judge as their new head coach, whom Giants fans will place trust into for the next few years to hopefully experience success. For the Jets, however, young quarterback Sam Darnold seems to be the only possibility to pull the Jets out of what seems to be inevitable and unavoidable misery.

Domestic Violence and Assault ChargesDefense Law Admin2019-11-13T14:13:16+00:00
Domestic Violence & Assault Charges
If you are facing charges like assault, harassment, or criminal mischief in relation to domestic violence, you need an attorney who can handle the complex and nuanced situation you are in. Scott Smith has vigorously defended people against domestic violence and assault charges in hundreds of cases and can often negotiate a dismissal of charges.
Scott C. Smith is an experienced domestic violence attorney with over 20 years of experience helpings clients charged with assault, domestic violence, and family violence. These types of cases are very serious and must not be taken lightly. Finding the right domestic violence lawyer to aggressively defend against these accusations is crucial.
Allegations that are characterized as "domestic violence" usually involve charges of assault, though they may also encompass other charges such as harassment, interference with 911 calls, and criminal mischief. It is not unusual to see situations in which charges like these are filed even though all parties to the alleged offense desire that no charges be filed. This occurs because the prosecutors who file charges are not bound to follow the desires of the parties. It is also common for false charges to be lodged by one spouse or partner against another as a means of retaliation or to gain advantage in divorce proceedings. Scott C. Smith is a board certified criminal law specialist who has successfully defended hundreds of domestic violence cases and can often negotiate a dismissal of charges.
Domestic violence cases may be filed as either misdemeanors or felonies depending on the facts in each case. Accusations of serious bodily injury, use of a deadly weapon, strangulation, or prior convictions for assault family violence may result in a case being filed as a felony. In Travis County, most misdemeanor and felony domestic violence cases are filed in Travis County Court at Law Four which exclusively handles family violence cases and defendants charged with domestic violence. Our attorneys are very familiar with this court and can help you successfully protect your rights and defend your freedom.
If you are arrested in Travis County on suspicion of domestic violence, there may be several immediate consequences simply based on the arrest. The judge may require you to be assessed by Travis County Counseling and Education Service and follow their recommendations. There may also be an Emergency Protective Order which restricts contact with the complaining witness in the case and can prohibit you from returning home if you lived with them. Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 17.292(j), these emergency protective order can remain in effect for up to 61 days for misdemeanor accusations and 91 days for felony accusations. The complaining witness may also apply for a permanent protective order which can last for up to two years.
It is important to talk with a domestic violence lawyer familiar with these obstacles who can advise you about the best course of action. If you or a loved one have been charged with assault or domestic violence, please feel free to contact us.

And the next QB is ...
By MIKE PRESTON
At this point, patience is needed. The Ravens are interested in a number of veteran quarterbacks, but it would be foolish to reveal their hand so early into the offseason.
It's the game outside the game.
Will they sign a potential unrestricted free agent such as Drew Brees, Charlie Batch, Jon Kitna, Josh McCown, Kurt Warner or Jeff Garcia? Or will they sign a possible salary cap casualty like Steve McNair, Kerry Collins, Aaron Brooks or Daunte Culpepper?
A lot of things can and will change in the coming months, but early indications point to Collins being the perfect fit to become the Ravens' starting quarterback in 2006. Now, let's not get carried away here. No phone calls or letters, please.
This is not based on inside information, nor are we taking a leap of faith. But if you look at the scenarios and matchups, Collins could become The Man.
You can immediately rule out Brees. The San Diego Chargers are contenders, and Brees is at the top of his game. He fits all the criteria. He's accurate. He's got good feet and makes logical decisions. He has won big games, and is a leader. Philip Rivers might be the Chargers' quarterback of the future, but he seems destined to be an understudy for another season, and the same goes for Atlanta's Matt Schaub, who backs up Michael Vick.
The Ravens can't afford to wait another year on the development of a quarterback like McCown. They already have one of those in Kyle Boller, whose slow progress helped force Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti to put a one-year short leash on coach Brian Billick.
So, that cuts down the list of candidates significantly, and the answer keeps coming up Collins. Of course, he's still under contract with the Raiders, but it's unlikely that the Raiders will pay him his scheduled $2.5 million roster bonus this year as well as his $6 million base salary. Collins is expected to make $8.5 million during each of the next three seasons.
Can you say "restructure" or "waived?"
Here's another factor: Collins was the quarterback of the New York Giants from 1999 to 2003 and has a comfort zone with former Giants coach Jim Fassel, who is the Ravens' offensive coordinator.
Here's one more: He's one of the few quarterbacks who can still play and win right away.
"He's on the ready; by that, he's a guy that can step in, make all the throws and still provide some leadership instantly," said a coach who has been an offensive coordinator in both the AFC and NFC. "He's proven and shown he can lead a team to the big game. I believe he can still get the job done."
So, that basically leaves the Ravens with Kitna, Culpepper and Collins. Culpepper is a good player, selected to the Pro Bowl three times. He's got a huge body and a strong arm. That's the upside. Here's the downside: Culpepper could miss the start of next season after tearing three ligaments in his right knee on Oct. 30.
Again, time is not on the Ravens' side.
Culpepper is also facing misdemeanor charges for his role in the Vikings' infamous sex cruise caper. Despite the injury and charges, Culpepper recently campaigned for a new contract after turning down the Vikings' request to rehabilitate in Minnesota and refusing a face-to-face meeting with new coach Brad Childress.
Doesn't this sound like some prominent players already on the Ravens' roster? Can this team absorb another helium head?
Kitna is an interesting proposition, but not the guy. He's going to commit one game-changing blunder every week. Bank on it.
Regardless, Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis probably won't allow him to leave. The Bengals have so many weapons that they can minimize Kitna's mistakes. With more repetitions than a year ago, he can be successful in Cincinnati, but not in Baltimore.
The Ravens don't have a featured running back. They have holes on the offensive line. They have good receivers in Derrick Mason, Mark Clayton and tight end Todd Heap, but no one who can consistently get them the ball.
Hopefully, Collins will be on the open market. Last year, Collins threw for 3,759 yards and 20 touchdowns. He moves just well enough, and has enough pocket presence to be able to duck a pass rush even though he has a reputation for panicking under pressure.
"That was in an offense that was terrible, that had nothing to it," one league defensive coordinator said. "If you want to keep your team alive on the fly, then Collins can step in. He has enough experience to adjust to any system."
That's the M.O. for the next Ravens quarterback. They want him to either start, or at least compete with Boller for the starting job. With Collins, you get an upgrade over Boller, and a quarterback who has proved he can throw accurately, yet manage the game.
His future is in doubt right now. The Raiders might bring him back. If not, he might demand a lot of money on the free-agent market, maybe too much for the Ravens. But for now, he appears to be a good match. He's old enough to lead a team, and young enough to provide some energy and confidence. He might not be the long-term answer, but at least he won't be a short-term problem.

Scott Congram's Kenworth C509 carts sheep and cattle in and out of the Riverina.
The Kenworth is a world away from the truck Scott Congram inherited: an International T2670.
The Kenworth is ultra-modern with a Cummins Signature ISXe5 set at 600hp (447kW).
Scott Congram has been an owner-operator for 20 years.
Owner-driver Scott Congram has bought his first new truck and a Kenworth C509 at that.
Scott Congram has been on the road for 25 years, and an owner-driver for 20 of those years. However, it's only recently that Scott bought his first new truck — a Kenworth C509.
It was worth the wait, especially as it is a stunning rig with years of experience put into its specification.
The new C509 has a 6.4m wheelbase and 60-inch (152cm) sleeper. It's a world away from the family farm truck that Scott inherited, an International T2670.
Importantly, Scott wanted the new truck to look "old school", with the paint scheme based on a traditional Kenworth design.
"I chose the colours and they were altered with the help of some family members," he says.
"The painter, Barry Dixon Paint & Panel, and signwriter Dean Laws pulled it all together and made it into what you see today – the traditional old colour scheme."
Under the skin, however, the Kenworth is ultra-modern with a Cummins Signature ISXe5 set at 600hp (447kW).
The Cummins is bolted to an 18-speed Eaton Fuller gearbox that delivers power down to Meritor diffs, riding on Kenworth six-rod suspension.
The cab's 60-inch bunk design, modifications and air-conditioning were the work of CustomAir in Melbourne.
Scott says he expects to get 10 years work out of the new Kenworth.
"It is quite a basic truck but that's the best way to have it. For where we go and what we do, we were after a strong truck," Scott says.
Along with his brother and business partner, Craig Congram, Scott specialises in livestock transport.
"I have always hung around stock; it's all I know. Walk on, walk off freight…it's pretty good," he says.
The Congrams cart sheep and cattle and while they go anywhere in Australia, they mainly cart in and out of the Riverina in New South Wales.
Based in Finley in southern NSW, they usually find themselves down in Melbourne weekly or, at some stages, twice a day.
"It is a great community here in Finley and the locals support us," Scott says.
"One family in particular in town here got me through for three or four months while I waited for my new truck.
"They supplied me with a truck and if it wasn't for them, it would have been very hard."
You can read Scott's full story in the August edition of Owner//Driver magazine.

Creative writing for composition can be one of the most exciting exercises for students. Stories are told. Anecdotes are recalled and shared. Imagination runs wild. However, a student's ability to tell a story is limited by how vast his vocabulary is. A student who has a wider range of adjectives to choose from is able to paint a clearer and more descriptive scene compared to one who does not have as rich a vocabulary.
Here in this 6 part series, we share more than 100 words that revolve around 6 different themes.

Checking In With Rep. Lois Capps: Public Option Is a 'Must Have'
As a registered nurse, Rep. Lois Capps, D-Calif., has worked hard on health legislation throughout her 10 years in Congress. For example, she's introduced legislation to expand health screening, and improve public information on cancer and stroke.
The 71-year old Capps, the vice chairwoman of the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee, has been outspoken in her support for a health overhaul. While she is a member of the moderate New Democrat Coalition, she supports the more liberal parts of the House health bill.
She spoke with KHN's Eric Pianin during a break in the committee's markup of the bill. Here's an edited version of the conversation.
Q: What was your reaction to the agreement with the Blue Dogs yesterday, especially the proposals that would take away some of the subsidies for lower income people to buy insurance and require states to pick up some of the cost of expanded Medicaid under the bill?
A: It presents one more challenge to getting the bill passed in the best possible way we can. First of all, I'm glad [the Blue Dogs] are at the table, now. They had been negotiating, but now we were able to go ahead with the markup, which is a good thing.
Q: What do you think about the current proposal, with 70 percent of the ($120 billion of cost savings coming) from subsidies?
A: That was working under the context that it had to all come out from that portion of the bill. But if we're able to get it from a larger framework, using more of the bill, rather than just the public option part of it, if that's possible, then we should be able to meet the obligation.
Q: What has been the atmosphere around the negotiations? Long nights?
A: I have to hand it to the leadership, who met with different groups for many, many days for hours and hours and hours on end. Also the staff. We have some very professional staff that drafted this legislation. There's no such thing as a perfect bill. Frankly, with getting the Blue Dogs back in the mix, (we've been) giving up some other things. It's a matter of how much we can preserve that's excellent for the American people. [The bill] increases coverage, it lowers the cost, it provides better health care. As a public health nurse, I'm really looking forward to increased emphasis on prevention.
Q: With so many differences between the House version and the version being negotiated in the Senate by Sen. Baucus and others, do you feel you're worlds apart or do you think there's a lot of room for a compromise?
A: Well, I work in the House. At some point we're going to have to vote on a bill that comes from a conference committee. Right now I'm glad and thankful that the leadership was wise enough to have the three major House committees [Ways and Means, Education and Labor and Energy and Commerce] work from a fairly common denominator, a bill. That doesn't mean we come out in identical places, but as it's reconciled on the House side, it's going to be not impossible to bring something to the floor — bringing the best of all of the three in a way that we can support in a vote on the floor.
Q: From your perspective, what are the must-haves in the bill?
A: It's always best to hold the insurance companies accountable. We have to provide competition. We want to keep the American aspect of this, the private aspects of it, so we have to provide competition. And that's what a robust public option does. That's a major part of it for me: if we can make sure we include everybody, and provide prevention and have that be part of the legislation. I'm disappointed that the Congressional Budget Office can't score it, or won't score it, but I know in my heart, from my long years of experience as a public health nurse, that that will help to lower the cost.
Q: What's your biggest problem with the House version right now?
A: To make it possible for the public option to be viable and to make it be paid for without putting it on the backs of poor people. That's our goal.
Q: Henry Waxman, the new chairman of the committee, how would you describe his management style in dealing with members?
A: Infinitely patient, a good listener and very determined to see this through.
Q: And yet he blew up last Friday for a while [during negotiations with the Blue Dogs].
A: He's a human being, isn't he?

But first. Yes, the wood stove was indeed the only heat source for the villa (surprisingly, this feature was not mentioned in the "amenities" portion of the rental listing.) Fireplaces are charming in early fall or late spring, but I was duly concerned with its ability to keep me warm in mid-winter. By morning the fire had faded, the villa was chilly and I was just a little grumpy about being on a Survivor: Tuscany in Winter holiday. All of my First World Whines disappeared, though, when I turned Clayton Theodore into the garden and saw the Apennines in the morning light.
The drive to Florence didn't disappoint, either. The children were impressed enough to remove their iDevice ear buds and comment on the beauty of Tuscany.
Rather serendipitously we discovered a 400-part PBS series, "Medicis, Godfathers of the Renaissance" on Netflix, and for the last month caught bits and pieces of the series as an introduction to Florence, so we were excited to see the city in person. The Duomo makes for ease of navigation, and after successfully maneuvering the Zona Traffico Limitato (the famous "limited traffic zones," entry through which results in hefty fines) to park the car, we followed the tourist trails to the cathedral.
St. John's Baptistry was closed for restoration, but most tourists only come for Ghiberti's Bronze Doors.
On our second morning the doors were completely free of tourists, save for a teenage street urchin sending Instragram-ed photos to his friends. "Here I am by something important in Florence."
Firenze's Duomo. As stunningly beautiful as in 2004, when Tony and I blazed through Florence in six hours on our Tuscany holiday to give ourselves a brief change of scenery from walled cities and long lunches in sunny piazzas. We all climbed the 453 steps to the top of the Duomo and the spectacular vistas. The climb is not recommended for the meek, or those who are uncomfortable getting close to fellow travelers making their descent from the top.
At the base of the Duomo there is the opportunity to pause and admire The Last Judgment frescoes.
In the background, left, is Santa Maria Novella; the towered structure on the right is Palazzo Vecchio.
Back down on earth we strolled over to Piazza del Repubblica for a dose of art appreciation and people watching.
A sculpture portico. That's how much art there is in Florence.
The two days were a Renaissance feast for the senses. Especially on our second day, walking, very slowly and thoughtfully, through a chocolate festival in Piazza Santa Maria Novella on the way to the parking garage. But more on the food later.
We spent two days in the city, returning each night to the villa. The children found bliss in the pleasant temperatures outside; Clayton Theodore paced the fence line of the garden in a staredown with the chickens and roosters in the next yard; Tony built a Boy Scout strong fire and opened the wine; and I played in the kitchen (with a gas cooktop! Oh, how I miss my gas cooktop!), whipping up a fresh pasta for dinner. But more on the food later.
Our goal was not to check off every "must-do." It never is. One of the two fixed agenda items was a morning at Galleria Uffizi, the one and only art museum on this holiday. The Uffizi was so void of tourists that, sitting in the Giotto gallery, we could almost feel the birth of the Renaissance ourselves. Botticelli's Allegory of Spring and Birth of Venus could be viewed up close, too. The rest of our visit to Florence was given to exploring as we saw fit, with periodic gelato pauses as the second, and most important, must-do.
Every silver lining must come from a cloud, no? While we achieved heat in our Italian villa, it appears that we overlooked a scheduled maintenance on the boiler in our Viennese house and will likely be returning to a frosty home, unless I can reach the heating person this week to schedule an appointment for our return on Saturday. No chance of that at all. I'm not complaining, really, but we are reaching, or perhaps have reached, the point with the owner of our house where the idea of moving warrants merit. But more on that later, too.
One thought on "Firenze"

Lovely! See you in the 3rd District perhaps?

New Delhi: On the occasion of the 79th anniversary of the Quit India Movement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that the spirit of movement reverberated across India and energised the youth of our nation.
PM Modi also paid tribute to the greats who took part in the Quit India Movement, which played a crucial role in strengthening the fight against colonialism. "Tributes to the greats who took part in the Quit India Movement, which played a crucial role in strengthening the fight against colonialism. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, the spirit of the Quit India movement reverberated across India and energised the youth of our nation," tweeted PM Modi.
The Quit India Movement was an important milestone in the Indian freedom struggle. Under the leadership of Gandhi, people across India came together to uproot imperialism.
On this day in 1942, Gandhi gave the clarion call of "Do or Die" to all Indians to drive away Britishers from the country. The movement had begun from Gawalia Tank in Mumbai. The day is observed as August Kranti Day every year.

Темрюкский — маяк, расположенный в устье реки Кубань вблизи города Темрюк (Краснодарский край, Россия), на  Азовском море.

История
Первый навигационный несветящий знак был выстроен на подходе к Темрюку в 1860 году. В 1873 году чуть севернее этого знака построили еще один; образовавшийся створ указывал вход в Темрюкский лиман. В 1902 году был разработан проект отдельного морского канала, после строительства которого судоходство в районе Темрюка значительно возросло. В связи с этим в 1912 году было принято решение об установке в этой части Азовского моря светового маяка.

Строительство маяка было начато в 1913 году и, несмотря на Первую мировую войну, было завершено в 1916 году. Маяк представлял собой железную башню цилиндрической формы высотой  с фонарным сооружением, светившим белым проблесковым огнем на  Во время Великой Отечественной войны Темрюк был оккупирован немецкими войсками, в ходе боёв за город маяк был разрушен.

После войны, в 1947 году, на месте разрушенного маяка была установлена временная деревянная вышка, а в 1957 году построена каменная восьмигранная башня призматической формы с фонарным сооружением. Высота башни от основания —  высота огня над уровнем моря —  В 1970 году на маяке был установлен светооптический проблесковый аппарат, который светит белым и красным проблесковыми огнями с дальностью видимости  (белый) и  (красный).
