Weather Underground even has advice for your hobbies. There are a few things missing that would make it more useful, especially for some users, but overall, it's a good option, especially considering the significant shortcomings of the other weather apps out there. You can ask for the current weather, weather alerts, and more. Even for the commonest user, the app would be useful. I use a mix of the stock iPhone weather app and The Weather Channel app, but will now turn to the Yahoo Weather app first. Additional options of Yahoo Weather include severe weather alerts, interactive maps that show temperature info, some cool home screen weather widgets, etc.
Summary The out of the box content intuitive layout makes this a great app. I'm trying to find an app that will give me something like that and Google's let me down. However, it puts a larger focus on severe weather such as tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, hurricanes, and other meteorological acts of God. You also get the option of having a daily digest of weather sent to you each morning. Features Of Yahoo Weather App: The main features of Yahoo Weather app are: 1. If you're a fan of the minimalist style Apple's iPhone has become known for, this app's design is a treat. If you like to have the important information at the first look itself, you can count on Weather Timeline.
It also offers four simple desktop widgets that display the weather and time at your chosen location. If for nothing, you should use the app for the elegance of design and data presentation. Google Assistant One of the best weather apps is not really an app at all. It has a full range of features, including the ability to play animations so you can see if the rain is coming or going. Smartphone weather apps and weather widgets have been steadily improving over the years. It also features 18 different weather maps, a lightning alert system, traffic conditions, and more.
Windy is both free of advertising and free of charge, which is a big plus in its favor. Hourly predictions include an image for sun, clouds, or rain, depending on the situation, as well as a temperature forecast. The irony is that this is from The Weather Channel and we think it's actually better than the regular Weather Channel app. It comes with your standard features like your daily and hourly forecast along with access to additional information. They work better, have more detailed and accurate information, and the weather widgets look better with whatever theme you happen to be using.
It's a really solid, stable weather app with more than enough features for most people. It not only lets you stay on top of the weather conditions at any time, but it also allows you to do so in an attractive, intuitive way. Anyone who wants to can participate. You could now read more about , review or choose a server to. However, the widgets show sufficient amount of information such as local time, automatically updated weather conditions, sunrise and sunset time, level of humidity etc.
It also allows the users to customize the home screen themes and wallpapers. It boasts over 6600 phrases with an optional setting for profanity. One-line summary: 10 characters minimum Count: 0 of 55 characters 3. Here, in this article, we have created a list of top ten Android apps and widgets you can use for getting weather forecasts. Mail allows you to login to several accounts simultaneously and to switch between them easily. Stunning Flickr photos match your location, time of day, and current conditions.
There's also a weather-related videos section that features clips from around the world. Weather information is quite detailed and the time-period can be varied between 10 days and 24 hours. Instead, there are wind diagrams that can be useful for gliders, paragliders or balloon pilots. That includes current temperature, future forecasts, severe weather alerts, radar, and more. Like if you are wanting to get an alert when it's 90F outside, will it let you do this? Weather Mate is also a great app for weather forecast. You can turn many of them off or set heavier activities like photo fetching and hourly updates to happen only on Wi-Fi. Yahoo Weather lets you check on the latest accurate weather forecasts coupled with great photos from Flickr.
Minimal and feature-rich widgets are available in the app and you can choose the best one depending on the taste. Yahoo Weather is the official weather application from Yahoo, which allows you to quickly access all of the meteorological information for your geographic location. Please note that the is the original apk file obtained from the official Google Play server. You get the option of two different three-day weather forecast widgets for your home screen too. It also has some utilitarian features.


Have you ever felt like you have a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear? That's how I feel now. My closet is stuffed and drawers filled with things that aren't serving a purpose. The items are either outdated, they don't fit or I'm just not feeling them for whatever reason. I think it's time for a closet revamp.
Since I define my style as fashionably casual, I want to have nice pieces that fit well and flatter my body. I also want lots of pieces I can mix and match so that I can maximize my wardrobe. At this point, I'd guess that I'm wearing about 10% of the items I have, while the other 90% is collecting dust. I want to change that so that I'm wearing at least 90% of my clothing regularly throughout all four seasons.
It's certainly time for a purge. I think I'll begin to go through things and keep what I like, donate some of it, and sell the rest on Poshmark. When it comes to rebuilding my wardrobe, I want to make sure that I re-up on any basics I may need such as great jeans, blazers, white blouses, and simple t-shirts, among others. Of course, I will have some trendy items and some things that are dressy for special occasions, but I want the majority of my closet to reflect my overall fashionably casual style.
When it comes to accessories, I would like to slowly add more luxury items. I recently purchased my first luxury belt, which will make its debut on the blog in the coming months. I hope to add another belt soon, and possibly a scarf for the fall and winter months. I'd love to buy a new Louis Vuitton bag, but that's going to have to wait until next year. Of course, I will keep you all updated with how things go with my closet revamp!
Have you ever felt like you need a style overhaul? Ever felt like you don't want to wear anything in your closet? Comment below and let me know how you got out of your style rut!

Hi, how can I get the rotation handles looking a bit more useful for this character's legs?
PS any tips on how to avoid coming across this problem in the future would be great too.
For now, imediately, you can look on the left hand side of your interface in the Modify tab and you'll find the coordinate system drop down. You can switch to world coordinates or to local and this will allow you to beat gimbal lock in a pinch.
Initially this problem starts - assuming you used skellegons - in modeler. When creating skellegons in the side viewports it rotates the bank of the bone 90 degrees.
Now there is a tool in modeler to rotate the bank but it is not very interactive and perdictable in my opinion.
To fix this simply deactivate your bones in the bones property pannel then take that hip bone and, looking at the rotation for bank zero it out.
Now, there is a trick to this because you will also wind up rotating all of the bones bellow it.
So before you start one thing you can do is clone the object - which will give you a reference to the initial bone positions. In the Scene editor make the clone object a bounding box to it won't conflict with the other object.
Also make yout initial object into a bounding box so you can see the bones good and clear - better than using bone xray.
Now if you really want to do it right color all of your cloned bones another color so you know what's what.
BTW if you have not checked it out look into the schematic view. If you set up this veiw in one of the viewports you can set up your bones in a tree for better editing and selection. Then simply move the cloneed tree overr and out of the weay and use the original object tree to do your selections.
Then you can start rotating from the hip down.
After you mess up all of the other bones beloiw it don't pannic, simply study what's going on. Rotate the next bone back into position using the cloned bones as a reference and the others will follow. You will have to go on down the line this way. You may have anckle bones out of wack too.
If you really study it you sill see that you can simpkly swap heading and pitch - I think it is - on the lower bone and be back in business.
Correcting bone rotations - in some way this method or another - is the first thing you shoould do after creating them.
2)Go through and select each bone and hit r. This will set the rest location and rotation of the bone and you are good to go.
Yes it is tedious no matter what method you use. This one is pretty darn workable.
I would try the bone twist tool. In Parent Coord mode it works like the bank handles on skelegons - adjusting the handle on the parent effects the child.
Another way to do it is to go into Local Coord mode and use bone twist on THAT bone. Once you finish, change back to Parent Coord mode and hit shift + P.
Hi Surrealist and Splinegod, thanks for all the help!
Now if you really want to do it right color all of your cloned bones another color so you know what's what. Where do I change the bone color?
Hey Larry. I saw your other post about bone twist and I messed with it but it did some very strange things to the rig. I posted a pretty extensive breakdown of what it was doing, I think in the post where you mentioned it.
Don't know if you saw that. I was thinking. Cool. I'd rather use this tool but it didn't work for me.
Where do I change the bone color?
Just left click on the item.
Also a pic of the scematic view. You can change colors/rename delete etc. there too just right click on the item. Drag the tiems around to arrange in a logical fashion as shown.
I was just testing it out the way I do all things in the manual very well, more or less sceintifically so I can see if I understand it. I had loaded up the girraffe scene and was trying just to do simple things like turn the tool on and twist a bone, turn it off, etc. I narrowed it down to it messing up the rig by just turning it on and off. Now I was mindful of having the bones turned off but one of the things the tool did was turn them on. Subsequently the rig would deform badly.
Here's what I posted in the bug fix section.
Mid you I have been finding tons of stuff that does not work on my computer A few small examples: cycler, just doesn't work and sock monkey. Some parts don't work as they should some of these things are repeatable by others some aren't.


Bhatt Nalh had authored sixteen Swaiyas, all in praise of Guru Ramdas the 4th Guru. Surprisingly the style of this poet is absolutely parallel to Bhatt Kalh. In certain cases, the use of images and mataphors is the same. For instance he has called Guru Ramdas, as Janak, as had been mentioned earlier by Bhatt Kalh. The vocabulary and meters are also similar. However, the speciality of this poet is that he has introduced two new Chhands called Jhoolna , and Radd. As in the case of Bhatt Kalshar, we had stated that this group of eleverr had come to the congregation of Guru Arjun Dev, this historical fact has also been confirmed by Bhatt Nalh. He says that after touching the sacred feet of Guru Arjun Dev, a sense of solemnity, peace and serenity prevailed upon him.
Sacrifice I am, unto the Name of the True Guru. How do I serve him and how do I praise him?
This knowledge is embedded in my heart, through the Grace of the Guru. Saith Nalh the poet, "As the philosopher's stone, converts glass into gold And the Chandan tree with its association, infuses the neighbouring vegetation with fragrance."

No progress at Brexit summit, talks continue
— Oct 20, 2018
Meanwhile, the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier warned that the UK's withdrawal agreement could still fail over the issue of the Irish border, leading to an "extremely serious" no-deal Brexit.
"We are working to ensure that we have that future relationship in place by the end of December 2020", May said as she arrived at European Union headquarters in Brussels on Thursday for meetings on migration, security and other issues.
Britain's Brexit minister, Dominic Raab, said a week ago that the so-called backstop created to prevent a hard border between the British province of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, must be finite, short and time-limited.
Both leaders spoke by telephone earlier this week, however there were no indications they are closer to resolving the outstanding Irish border issue.
France did not rule out a possible lengthening of Britain's post-Brexit transition period if it helps advance negotiations with London, but any extension would come with conditions, an official in President Emmanuel Macron's office said on Thursday.
An further year could help the United Kingdom and the EU negotiate a future trade deal, and could ease the burden for May on agreeing to a so-called backstop on the Irish border issue that would keep Northern Ireland in the customs union and the single market for goods.
Lidington rejected claims that an extension would cost Britain more than $13.1 billion USA in payments to the European Union in order to stay in the bloc's single market and customs union for another year.
Less than six months before Britain quits the European Union in its biggest shift in policy for more than 40 years, the two sides are at odds over how to deal with their only land border, between the British province of Northern Ireland and Ireland.
May said a proposed 21-month transition period for the United Kingdom after Brexit could be extended by "a matter of months".
The meeting in Brussels was supposed to be the occasion when the leaders of the European Union 27 member states gave the green light for a special summit in November to finalise the terms of Britain's withdrawal.
The Tanaiste said concerns about the potential to destabilise the island's "very precious peace" were real, and reflected the fears of people living on the border.
"But I believe everybody around the table wants to get a deal".
LeBron James suffers loss in first game with Los Angeles Lakers
It is not that fast. "It takes a while to get to where you can close your eyes and know exactly where your guys are". The four-time MVP's total, the second highest scored by a Lakers debutant, included 12 rebounds and six assists.
"I am still cautiously optimistic [about the deal]".
Ahead of her visit to Brussels, Mrs May was able to secure the backing of her Cabinet, at least for now, amid reports that some Brexiteer ministers had been prepared to quit if she gave too much ground to Brussels.
From October 17 through October 18, leaders of the 27 EU states conducted a European Council meeting focused on Brexit.
"We need time to get ready for that".
He also said there would be "huge difficulties" within the European Union 27 member states to consider making the backstop UK-wide, adding that the European Union is willing to make exceptions to treat Northern Ireland as a special case because of its hard history and unique geography.
"We are all working, we're intensifying the work on these issues that remain", May told a news conference after a two-day summit in Brussels had ended.
It now depends on whether May can sell such an extension to the contingent of strong Brexiteers among the Conservative benches as well as to the 10 MPs from the Democratic Unionist Party who shore up her minority government.
If May loses, there would be a leadership contest with the victor becoming prime minister, without the need for new elections.
Such a border would violate the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) or Belfast Agreement that Northern Ireland's present devolved system of government is based on.
"I am open to the idea of an extension or a longer transition period, but that's not an alternative to a legally binding Irish backstop, so it's certainly not an alternative; it's something that might be part of the mix", he said.
Both sides think an extension would allow for more time to find a solution to the Irish border.
Malmstrom said the Europeans "see this merely as preparations being made by the U.S.to negotiate with them and others".

Her experience includes litigation in a wide range of substantive areas including real estate and construction matters, eminent domain, contractual disputes and insurance.
The Colorado 17th Judicial District includes Adams and Broomfield counties. Brown will fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Judge C. Scott Crabtree.
Brown joined Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie in 2005. She is a graduate of the Washington University School of Law in St. Louis and the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Are you getting married soon and need some ideas for planning? Luckily, you have found a great place to get advice! You will discover many tips within the following article that aide in your wedding plans and make them not only problem free but also create a day to remember forever.
Before the wedding practice walking down the aisle. Be sure that this is done where the wedding will take place so the floor can be tested along with the footwear. This will give you much more confidence on the big day.
Purchasing a wedding gown online may save you several hundred dollars initially. A certain person claims to have spent only $100 or her gown, but had to spend another $200 to get it altered. Make sure to include this added cost in your wedding budget.
When choosing a makeup artist, look at their past work. Does their style suit you? Make sure that the style matches your vision. You don't need to be around an hour before the wedding stuck with a makeup artist that did a poor job.
Transportation is an important thing to think about. Try to get taxis and limos for people that can't get a ride so they can get back to where they're staying when the night ends. This is good for those drinking alcohol.
Spend quite a bit of time writing your vows so that they include all the things that are important to your union with your spouse. Keep in mind that getting married is a commitment that might require some sacrifices. Use your vows to publicly declare the love and dedication you feel for your beloved.
A multi-tiered wedding cake can set you back well over a thousand dollars. You can save money by serving cupcakes, small tarts, or cake pops. Times have changed and despite the oddness you may feel based on tradition, guests tend to prefer this and it saves not only money but also prevents waste. Guests can serve themselves or even take one home as a party favor of sorts.
The above article has given you great suggestions on how to plan a great wedding, so now all that is left to do is to make your plans a reality, and hope the weather cooperates! With any luck, you can relax on the actual wedding day and enjoy what you've accomplished with your spouse.

Q: How to disable JavaScript debugging in Visual Studio 2012 Recently when debugging my NUnit tests, I get the following error every time I attach to the NUnit process:
Cannot debug some of the code in process nunit. See below for status.

Managed (v4.5, v4.0) code succeeded.
JavaScript code falied. Not implemented

Click OK to continue debugging the remaining code. To disable debugging the failed type(s) of code in the future, change the corresponding setting in the project properties dialog.

Can anyone tell me how to disable javascript debugging? I'm not trying to debug javascript, just managed code and this popup is driving me crazy.
Thanks in advance!

About the Pub
The George Inn is primarily an active wet-led community pub with some food trade, including a popular Sunday carvery. The pub boasts a large public bar with pool table and log burning fire, as well as a large separate dining room and a smaller private room known as the Rifle Room. There is also an attractive patio garden and a spacious car park.
The pub hosts regular activities, with a pool team who play in both the Summer and Winter leagues; the Bourne Valley Quiz League who use the pub every other Monday; the local cricket team, who are enthusiastic supporters of the pub; and formerly a 5-a-side football team which could be re-started. The back restaurant runs a very successful carvery every Sunday . The key opportunities for this pub centre around the marketing and promotion of the food offer beyond the immediate village, as well as putting the two en-suite letting rooms to good use.
The George Inn sits in the heart of the small village of St Mary Bourne just five miles northeast of Andover. The village has a population of over 1,300 and most locals commute, heading off to railway stations five or more miles away. Just as many drive to Newbury, Whitchurch, Basingstoke, Winchester or Andover. There is also one of the world's leading watercress companies, Vitacress, located just outside the village. In addition, the village has a primary school, Surgery & Pharmacy, Post Office and a partly volunteered shop.
There are two large double bedrooms and one small room that could be used as a third bedroom or office. There is a large open-plan kitchen/diner/living room and access to a flat roof terrace. There are two en-suite letting rooms but the current operators have chosen not to let these rooms, so there is a huge opportunity to develop this side of the business. An alternative to letting rooms would be to convert one of the en-suite bedrooms into a living room/kitchen and then it could be let as a one bedroom flat with it's own private access.
The George is largely a wet-led community pub with some food trade, which could be further developed. Sunday is the busiest trading day, with the popular carvery, and 50% of the weekly sales are generated over the weekend. This is a great business opportunity for an entrepreneur to further develop and promote the food offer, and to maximise profit from the letting accommodation.

If you are a first time alleged DUI offender, you are wondering what happens next. Since no one plans on getting a DUI, you're probably unprepared to manage the next critical steps. Here are some of the most important things you should know after a DUI arrest. We invite you to call us at 562-206-2012 or to contact us online for your free case evaluation.
Consulting with and hiring a qualified attorney with experience in handling DUI cases can go a long way toward making this process a little less confusing and a lot less frightening. If you do not have an attorney, call me right now for a free confidential consultation.
You have only 10 calendar days (including weekends) after your DUI arrest to contact the DMV to request a HEARING, a copy of the EVIDENCE, and STOP the automatic suspension from taking effect in 30 days. Your DUI Lawyer should include that service AND represent you at the DMV hearing at no extra cost.
Your DUI Attorney will begin the process by entering a NOT GUILTY plea and collecting the initial discovery at the Arraignment, then setting a future court date with plenty of time to review and research your particular case. If you are charged with a misdemeanor, your DUI Lawyer can handle everything so that you don't need to personally appear in court.
Over the next few months, your DUI Attorney will analyze every aspect and detail of your DUI case; develop defense strategies that fit the facts and guide you toward the most appropriate & favorable resolution and, if necessary, only the minimum consequences.
When you are arrested for DUI, whether it is a traffic stop or a checkpoint, and taken to the police station for booking, you will be offered a choice between a breath or a blood sample to establish your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC). If you refuse both of these tests, the DMV will automatically suspend your license for at least one year.
If you are involved in a traffic collision, you may be taken to the hospital. If you are taken to the hospital and it is not possible to perform a breath test for BAC, you must be offered the opportunity to give a blood sample. If you refuse, your license will be suspended for up to a year by the DMV.
When the police believe you have sufficiently sobered up, they will usually release you with having you post bail. This release on your "Own Recognizance," also called "OR" release, simply means they let you go on your promise to appear at the assigned court date. Don't wait for any additional notice in the mail – it's not coming.
Once you are released OR, it is YOUR responsibility to appear or have your Long Beach DUI Lawyer appear for you on the assigned date. If you miss the assigned date, the Court will issue a bench warrant and the police can come and arrest you to bring you to court.
If you were not given an assigned court date upon release or you don't know what it is, have your Long Beach DUI Lawyer check with the department to see when it is. DON'T WAIT!
When you were arrested, the police likely took your driver license and gave you a pink temporary. The pink temporary expires 30 days after the arrest at which time your license is automatically suspended.
However, what they usually don't tell you is that you must contact the appropriate DMV Driver Safety Office with ten (10) calendar days of the arrest to request a hearing to prevent the suspension.
Your Long Beach DUI Lawyer will handle that for you, but it must be within ten (10) days of the arrest, otherwise the right to a hearing is considered waived. Your Long Beach DUI Lawyer will also request that the automatic suspension be delayed until after the hearing. That means you will retain full driving privileges after the first thirty (30) days.
At the hearing, the DMV will try to show – based on the police reports – that you were lawfully stopped and arrested, that the officer had probable cause to believe you were DUI, and that your BAC at the time of driving was at or above 0.08% (or 0.04% for commercial drivers / 0.01% for drivers under 21 years old).
The hearing officer is not a lawyer or a judge, yet in the hearing they are both judge and prosecutor; they rule on their own objections; there is nothing fair about it. In reality, it is a very unfunny joke. But it's the system and we are stuck with it.
The DMV hearing officer does not follow rules of evidence, they are not interested in forensic science that negates their contentions, and they are not interested playing fair. They want to suspend your license and, unless there is a glaring technicality, they will.
Your Long Beach DUI Lawyer will comb over all of the evidence for the hearing and make every available argument about why your license should not be suspended. In most cases, the license is suspended, although we have also won our fair share of DMV hearings.
If the DMV rules against your license, you will receive notice that your license is suspended for a period of four (4) months.
However, if you did a chemical BAC test, [in most cases] you will be eligible for a restricted license after the first thirty (30) days. The restricted license will allow you to drive to and from work, in furtherance of work, and to and from your DUI classes and meetings. The restricted period will last five (5) months.
To get your restricted license, you will need to provide the DMV with proof of enrollment in an authorized DUI class, proof of an SR22 insurance filing, and you will have to pay the fee. Your Long Beach DUI Attorney will help connect you with the resources to get all of that done.
The very first court appearance is called the arraignment. The only thing that [usually] happens at the arraignment is that your Long Beach DUI Lawyer will enter a plea of "Not Guilty" on your behalf, receive the initial discovery (police reports, etc.), and set another date for a pretrial conference.
The good news, [in most cases] your Long Beach DUI Attorney will go to court for you, so you do not have to go.
The appearances following the arraignment are called "Pretrial Conferences," it sounds a lot fancier than it is.
The pretrial conference is when your Long Beach DUI Lawyer has an opportunity to meet with the prosecutor, discuss the case, discuss the evidence, and try to work toward a solution that benefits you. This is when the requested discovery is usually turned over.
There can be several of these pretrial conferences in any given Long Beach DUI case, each about a month apart.
In almost every case, the prosecutor will extend an offer to settle the case. Your Long Beach DUI Attorney will consider the offer in light of the facts and circumstances and extend a counter offer when appropriate.
These settlement discussions can go on for several pretrial conferences over the course of weeks and months until a decision is reached – by you – about whether to accept an offer and settle the case, or take the case to jury trial.
If the facts and evidence are such that settling without trial is in your best interest, your Long Beach DUI Attorney will guide you and be by your side throughout the entire process. You can rest assured that, if a settlement is the way to go, your Long Beach DUI Lawyer will work hard to ensure that the consequences are the bare minimum for your specific circumstance.
In most cases, you will be present for the settlement court appearance, but not always. In certain circumstances, the entire case, including settlement, can be handled without you ever stepping foot in the courtroom.
If your case is such that you believe going to trial is worth the risk, your Long Beach DUI Lawyer will suit up and go to battle for you – at no extra cost.
At trial, your Long Beach DUI Lawyer, with you, will select 12 jurors who will ultimately decide whether you are guilty or not guilty. Your Long Beach DUI Attorney will cross examine witness, challenge evidence, and argue fervently on your behalf. You may or may not testify. You may or may not put on evidence.
In the end, your Long Beach DUI Lawyer will do everything possible to show the jury that you should not be convicted and implore them to find you not guilty. Everything after that is in their hands.

Garryowen is a private town in Big Horn County, Montana, United States.  It is located at the southernmost edge of the land where Sitting Bull's camp was sited just prior to the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and the opening gunshots of the battle were fired only a few hundred yards from where Garryowen's structures stand today.

Garryowen has a population of just 2 and consists mainly of a large building (the "Town Hall") with multiple functions.  This building houses a Conoco petrol station and convenience store, a Subway sandwich franchise, an arts & crafts store called "The Trading Post," and the Custer Battlefield Museum, a private museum whose exhibits focus on the battle and the period of the Indian Wars.  Garryowen is owned by Chris Kortlander, and it was put up for sale in 2012, but an auction in August of that year was cancelled after no one registered to bid.

History of Garryowen
In 1895, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy (now BNSF) Railroad established a tiny station on the Little Bighorn River, where water was taken on and US Army troops, supplies and mail were off-loaded for delivery to nearby forts and homesteads.  This station was called "Garryowen," a name associated with the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment because of the stirring Irish air of the same name which became the regiment's marching song.

When the Crow Reservation lands were created in 1868, Garryowen became part of the Crow's holdings, but the land was later sold by the tribe and the Federal government to private citizens. By 1926, the "town" of Garryowen was in private hands, but still consisted of little more than a small market. It was at this time, just a month before the 50th Anniversary of the Battle, that work was being done on an irrigation ditch just east of Garryowen - along Reno's line of retreat.  Much to their surprise, work crews uncovered a nearly complete set of skeletal remains (no skull was ever found), accompanied by several bullets and buttons, clearly indicating that this had been a Cavalry soldier.  Because 14 of Reno and Benteen's men were never accounted for following the Battle, accurate identification of the remains was impossible.  However, with planning for the celebration's events in full swing, The Custer Memorial Association decided a memorial service, with full military honors, was due this long-lost Unknown Soldier.

Plans called for the body to be entombed in a special monument in Garryowen, following a "Burying of the Hatchet" ceremony, during which US government and Indian representatives smoked a peace pipe and placed a tomahawk in the base of the monument.

Attractions

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier & Peace Memorial

The tomb is a monument that commemorates the end of hostilities between the Lakota-Cheyenne and the U.S. Government.

Although it is publicly described as the resting-place of an unknown Army combatant from the Reno retreat, disclosure documents from an auctioning firm responsible for the August 2012 auction of the town raised some uncertainty as to whether there are actual human remains in the tomb.

Custer Battlefield Museum

The Custer Battlefield Museum features many artifacts from the Battle as well as books and memorabilia.

In 2005 and 2009, 22 artifacts from the museum, described as "a trove of war bonnets, medicine bags and other items" alleged to have been stolen from the Crow tribe were seized by Federal authorities. Although the case was dropped in 2009, as of March 19, 2012 some of the items had not been returned.

The Center Pole
Located on Wellknown Buffalo's historic Indian trust land on the Crow (Apsaalooke) Indian Reservation, this Native, non profit organization's mission is to increase knowledge, justice and sovereignty in Native communities. The property is home to Wellknown Buffalo Coffee Shop, Buffalo Nickel Thrift Store, a community enterprise selling recycled clothing and housewares, and Crow Voices Community Radio, the first radio station on the reservation. Three of the buildings are hybrid straw bale constructed buildings and a demonstration alternative energy "earth lodge" is in the process of being completed. Center Pole's Executive Director Peggy Wellknown Buffalo is a Petra Fellow (www.petrafoundation.org) and an Unsung Hero of Compassion (www.newunsungheros.org) and blessed as such by the Dalai Lama in 2014. More information can be found at www.thecenterpole.org.

Notable person
Henry Real Bird of Garryowen was appointed Poet Laureate of Montana by Governor Brian Schweitzer in 2009.

I wanted to create an easy DIY dog treats jar for this holiday season. The keyword being EASY. As much as I may try, I am not crafty by nature. The ability to whip up a Pinterest-worthy project with little effort is not in my genes. Plus, aren't we all swamped this time of year? Sometimes simple is best. Especially, when it comes to gifts for pets, all the dogs care about is what's inside the jar.
She's enjoying the treats so much she now spins around and does little tricks for them. We've definitely found the best gift for our dogs this holiday season.
Look at those crunchy biscuits. With their cinnamon and oatmeal flavor, I'm almost tempted to take a bite. Like all BLUE snacks, BLUE Santa Snacks have no chicken (or poultry) by-product meals and are free of corn, wheat, and soy.
BLUE Santa Snacks for dogs are perfect for holiday gifting since they are in fun holiday shapes. Find Blue Buffalo BLUE Santa Snacks® for dogs at Kroger, Meijer, Target, Chewy, Pet Smart, and select regional retailers. The rest of the supplies are quite simple. I picked up a basic jar, ribbon, twine, and other decorations at my local craft store.
See, super easy. You can get as creative as you'd like with this DIY dog treats project. Turn a plain jar into a personalized work of art if you're skilled like that. It's the thought that counts, and all about putting your personal touches into this gift. The dogs care about what is inside, and that is the hearty and scrumptious BLUE Santa Snacks.
Enter the BLUE "Naughty or Nice" holiday contest for your chance to win a $500 gift card to stock up on treats!

I love giving pet treats in a jar like this for a gift any time, not just for holidays. They are pretty easy to make from scratch too.


In business, we have a common rule of thumb that acknowledges the value of customers over their lifetime. It's called the Pareto Principle, more commonly known as the 80:20 Rule. The Pareto Principle says that 80% of your sales come from 20% of your clients. Unfortunately for these highly profitable customers, many organizations are not designed to nurture them.
In many companies, the sales and marketing team's performance is measured against how much new business they bring in. At year end banquets, these are the people who get the awards and accolades for the "Best Campaign" and "Most New Business". It is difficult to find and develop new business and the winners of these awards do deserve recognition. By measuring, then recognizing new business leaders and their accomplishments, companies reinforce the importance of the hunter's instinct within these teams. Success, as defined by these metrics and rewards, shifts the management focus toward developing predatory skills.
Great hunters have highly specialized skills. They have the intelligence to outwit their adversary and competition. They can avoid detection. They savor the challenge of the chase. They pounce on opportunity and thrill in the kill. The organization that focuses on developing hunting skills can become great a making new customers. New business development is an enormous part of success but like all things without balance, the single-minded focus on it can be detrimental.
As Peter Drucker pointed out, the purpose of business is twofold. The first purpose is to make a customer. This is the environment that favours strong hunting skills. The second purpose of a business is to keep a customer. This is where hunters are limited. They can't bring their prey back to life. Without measuring the performance to keep a customer, hunters haven't the need to develop new skills to heal a wounded relationship or nurture an existing partnership. The organization that focuses exclusively on developing hunting instincts and views customers as prey limits their potential growth. In other words, hunters have few reasons to spend time with the 20% of customers who generate 80% of their business.
I'd like you to consider the twofold purpose of business, to make and keep a customer, like filling a bucket with water.
With only new business metrics in place, an organization focuses on filling the bucket. In my own experience, most of my attention was directed to filling the bucket and discovering new water sources. Over time, my behaviour became so automated that I neglected to look at the bucket. Suddenly I realized that the bucket had holes. No matter how much time I spent finding new water, I would never be able to keep the bucket full. While I was being praised and rewarded for finding new customers, I had few incentives or resources to keep them. It's been my experience that a single-minded focus on new business metrics creates short term thinking.
With customer lifetime value metrics (CLTV) in place, an organization focuses on keeping the bucket full. Viewing a customer value through the lens of their lifetime value changes the way you value and interact with customers. CLTV metrics direct attention to empathizing with a customer. Putting attention towards keeping the bucket full is to focus on the 20% of your customers who generate 80% of your business. CLTV metrics rewire behaviour to look for the holes in the bucket before filling it with water. You may begin to ask for suggestions and ideas on how to maintain the bucket in good order. You may find and direct resources to maintain the bucket. You will find that the bucket will always have leaks, but takes much less work to keep it full.
1. Identify the 20% of your clients who generate 80% of your business. Talk with your employees about what you can do to super serve these clients.
3. Review your marketing budget. What percent of your budget goes toward new business acquisition? What percent do you allocate to customer retention? How might you best balance the budget between the two? Research of top performers, suggests 2% of revenue is used to create the marketing budget and 30% of which is directed to customer retention.
4. Start a referral program. Monitoring your referral ratio [(total # of referrals) / (total # of customers)] can be a measure how well you are serving your existing clients.
5. Instead of calculating new sales this week, calculate the lifetime value of each new customer by segment.
Do you measure lifetime value of a customer? How do you do it?


Of the journey we took together.
And now I must leave you for ever.
We bore all our burdens together.
And the hours we spent together.
Now is the world so still!
My little child, now go to sleep."
P.S. I've tracked down the original lyrics, and an Italian translation, of Farewell, my friend.
Private Robert Barnes, 1st Battalion (Airborne) The Border Regiment, Service No 14641710, was the son of John Barnes and Margaret Barnes, Birks Road, Cleator Moor, Cumberland (now Cumbria). He is buried in Oosterbbek War Cemetery, Netherlands (Grave Ref No: 30.C.8).
At the time of his death during WW2, Robert was serving with the 1st Battalion (Airborne) of the Border Regiment. The Battalion were glider-borne troops, forming part of the 1st Airborne Division. Robert died during Operation Market Garden (the airborne part of the Operation being codenamed 'Market') in September 1944.
Operation Market Garden was a plan to seize and hold the bridges in the Netherlands with the aim of invading and defeating Germany by the end of 1944. It proved to be one of the most ferocious battles of the Second World War. Allied airborne troops in the Oosterbeek / Arnhem area of the Netherlands, including 1st Border, fought one of the defining - and ultimately losing - battles of the Second World War. The closest bridge to Germany, Arnhem, eventually proved to be 'A Bridge Too Far'.


Barry and his girlfriend, Jenn, need to rent Barry's cabin to help put his kids through college and to help save for he and Jenn's future together. This is a second relationship for both Barry and Jenn so owning a home together represents their chance to 'start over.' Scott gives them two options: a cosmetic interior update or an interior update with upgrades and a screened in porch.
Mother and daughter duo, Lynne and her daughter Heather have already been through the pain of selling their family vacation home once before due to carrying costs. Now that they have a new country home in their family, they need to renovate and rent it so it's affordable.

Alex and Casey have 3 kids and dreamed of owning a lake house near Casey's mom's property. When a rare opportunity came up to buy one down the street from her, they jumped at the chance. Doing so has set them back financially and now need rental income. Scott gives them two options: a cosmetic update or cosmetic update with a full kitchen and bathroom gut.
Astrid and Sheldon decided to buy a vacation property after a tough year made them realize life is too short. The only way to keep their lake house dreams a reality is to renovate and rent out the space to offset the carrying costs. Scott gives them two options: an interior facelift or an interior facelift with a massive Boathouse deck to get top dollar.
Nuala and Dave are a busy couple with three small kids and another one on the way. They love spending time at their lake house but with their family expanding so are their costs of living and now renting the lake house is their only way to keep it. Scott gives them two options: an interior makeover or an all seasons reno to maximize their income.
Caitlyn, a hard working young woman, needs to figure out the best way to cover the costs of her new lake house while also building her financial future. With her Dad Ron by her side, she is now ready to turn her dated property into a modern vacation rental. Scott gives Caitlyn two options: a mini facelift to cover the essentials or an interior remodel with some high-end finishes.
Justin Rutledge, an award-winning musician, sold his city home to move to the country for some inspiration. He now needs to renovate and rent out his waterfront cabin to help supplement his irregular income. Scott gives Justin two options: an interior remodel to cover the basics or an interior model with an exterior upgrade to maximize curb appeal.
Paddy bought his in-laws country home 10 years ago when its existence was threatened so he could ensure it stayed in the family for years to come. After a recent business deal gone wrong, he now needs to rethink his finances. Selling the lake house is out of the question, so with the help of his brother Brian, they're turning the lake house into an Income Property. Scott gives Paddy two options: an interior makeover with new windows or a remodel with new windows and a finished loft space.
Jon and Kate need to start focusing on their family's fiscal future with the arrival of their baby boy, Dylan. To financially prepare for it, they want to renovate and rent their current home by the lake so they can maximize their rental income and start saving. Scott gives them two options: an interior facelift on select rooms or a remodel with some high-end finishes.
Edray and Jessica fell in love four years ago and got engaged one year ago. Now, they're eager to move on with their lives, plan a wedding and eventually buy a house together. To make these life plans financially feasible, this couple needs to renovate and rent Edray's dated vacation property to bring in more rental income. Scott gives them two options: an essential interior makeover or one with new floors throughout and bathroom upgrades.
Carla and her husband want to sell their beach house and use the money to travel the world but their two sons, Nick and Daniel, wouldn't let them. The boys convinced Mom and Dad to renovate and rent out the property so that they can financially carry their beach house AND fulfill their dream of traveling the world. Scott gives Carla and her son Nick two options: an interior cosmetic update or a cosmetic update with a Bunkie for extra sleep capacity.
Sisters Jen and Elana recently bought a property next door to their mom. They want to renovate it so they can demand higher rental rates and bring in families who will treat the space carefully. That way, they can afford the waterfront property for the long haul to care for their mom once she retires. Scott gives the sisters two options: an interior facelift with a powder room build or a full interior remodel with a powder room build.


'Bitcoin Bank' Xapo has still not completed its move to Switzerland more than 18 months after announcing the plan.
The company, registered in the Cayman Islands but run out of the US, said that regulatory issues were behind the delays, with Swiss authorities unsure as to how to classify Xapo's activities.
"The regulatory environment for Bitcoin in Switzerland is very advanced, perhaps the best in the world," CEO Wences Casares previously told local news publication Finanz Und Wirtschaft.
As 2016 draws to a close, however, a sense of irony is beginning to creep in. In a piece on Xapo, the Neure Zuercher Zeitung (NZZ) notes it is Switzerland's arcane banking laws – dating from 1934 – that are giving the company an unwanted identity crisis in the eyes of regulators.
As of now, it reports, financial authorities – specifically Swiss regulator Finma – are still unsure whether the services Xapo offers make it, in fact, a bank.
Xapo is still dealing with […] Finma as regards the conditions under which it can enter the Swiss market.
Even Casares himself seems to be making contradictory noises. While singing Switzerland's praises, in the interview he also described Xapo as a "bank for Bitcoin." Olga Feldmeier, the lone employee of Xapo's mostly nonexistent Swiss arm, meanwhile states the opposite.
"We don't give out credit, we don't offer any interest-related features," she said.
Casares meanwhile has been resident in Switzerland attempting to clear the way for his company's full transfer away from the US' overbearing regulatory and reporting obligations.
The company already has all the markings of a serious operation; its hardware, such as servers, for example, has been stored in former military bunkers in Switzerland since last year. PR photos of the imposing setup have proudly been released for all to see.
The setup is indeed impressive. Two chambers in the bunker handle storage in what could well be Europe's most trustworthy facility. Customer transactions are received by a server in one chamber. The requests are downloaded onto a USB stick, which is then transferred to a laptop in the second chamber, which features Orwellian-level surveillance.
Nonetheless, as NZZ points out, as of December 2016, Xapo is neither a bonafide US nor a Swiss business.
What do you think about Xapo's choice of location? Is Switzerland due to become the ultimate Bitcoin-friendly jurisdiction? Let us know in the comments below!

Brandi Roenick rises to top of list at Dressage Fair in L.A.
From the Newstrader - March 1st, 2012 - Newstrader
BURBANK — On the final day of the Mid-Winter Dressage Fair CDI-W/Y/J, competitors vied for top honors in the Intermediaire Freestyle. Young Rider Brandi Roenick topped senior competitors to claim the win with Nobel, a 17-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding (Rohdiamant x Hestella) owned by Tracy Roenick of Scottsdale, Ariz. Her score of 70.417 percent from judges Linda Zang (5* USA), Jean-Michele Roudier (5* FRA), and Eddy de Wolff (4* NED) earned the champion's sash over Jan Ebeling, who placed second with 68.333% on Deborah Harlan's Rosenzauber 8, an 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare (Rotspon x Shining Sun).
"My goal for Nobel this weekend was just to get him back in the ring, so I was pleasantly surprised with the result! He can be a challenging horse," said Roenick. "I think it's such good experience for a young rider to get into the open CDI classes to get a feel for what it's like against the professionals."
Finishing in third was Kim Elsner riding 13-year-old Trakehner gelding, Luminence (Leonidas x Willa), owned by Hilda Gurney, with a score of 65.583%.
Brandi Roenick also completed a sweep of the CDI Young Rider division with her own longtime partner, the 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare, Pretty Lady (Iglesias x Ivonne), winning the freestyle with a score of 71.500%.
"Since the National Championships last fall, we've come together as a team even more," said Roenick. "We clicked so well this weekend and she tried her heart out for me like she always does."

Teen Wolf star Tyler Posey apologises for pretending to come out as gay on Snapchat
Joseph McCormick July 30, 2016
Teen Wolf star Tyler Posey has has apologised after he confused as he appeared to come out as gay on Snapchat, saying he is not.
In a video posted on Friday the actor films a street sign for Gay Street, and proclaims "I am this, and this is me. I've never felt more alive!… I'm gay!"
But he has now taken to Twitter to deny that he is gay, apologising for causing offence to some for pretending to come out.
He writes: "I am a big proponent of love over hate, and standing together during divisive times."
Adding: "Although I'm not gay, I fully support the LGBTQ community. This was a moment intended to reflect that."
In a third tweet he says: "And everyone, I am truly sorry to the people I've offended or lessened how big coming out is. I just want to spread love in this world."
Representatives for the actor who rose to fame after playing J Lo's on-screen son in Maid in Manhattan, had already denied that he came out as gay.
did tyler posey just come out on snapchat because this is what i call living pic.twitter.com/azfbzkH6dJ
— ri  (@softshum) July 29, 2016
An MTV communications department staff member told Fusion that they believed Posey meant gay "in the context of 'I'm happy,' not as a coming out."
Fans naturally took to social media to speculate on the meaning behind the video.
Some have been quick to call him out for "mocking" the LGBT community with the tone of the video. Others just want him to clarify what he meant in the video.
One Twitter user wrote: "If Tyler Posey was lying about being gay, the way he was doing it felt kind of like he was mocking us? And I'm not down for that."
In a second video, Posey filmed a lamp saying: "look at that thing… Ah man, am I happy! I've never felt more like me than I do now! I'm lamp!"

At least two of Posey's Teen Wolf co-stars have come out as gay in recent years.
Colton Haynes wrote a post on Tumblr in January which left fans with a lot of questions and appeared to confirm that he was gay.
He later confirmed that he is gay in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
Their co-star Charlie Carver previously came out as gay.

Over the next 3 days, take some time and read the text for this week as we resume our series on Genesis: Beginning & Blessing – "The 1st Marriage". Ask the Lord to open your heart to His Word, and speak to you as you gather with God's people at Christ Church!
 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.  And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,  but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."  Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him."  Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.  The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him.  So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.  And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.  Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."  Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.  And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.


Let's face it. Taking your car in for a service can be intimidating at the best of times.
Unless you've got a regular mechanic you can trust, you never know what to expect or how the visit is going to affect your hip pocket. We all know the scenario where a trip to the mechanic for a simple service or repair has turned into a series of problems, not to mention a financial nightmare.
To save money, people are increasingly turning to discount offers for car service and auto repairs, particularly through online or newspaper coupons. These coupons typically offer buyers massive savings and can be used for anything from brake repairs and oil changes to car washes.
However, it's worth carefully reading the fine print before leaping into anything, especially as they're usually released by auto repair businesses to recruit new customers.
It's tough to know exactly how scrupulous any particular operator will be or the quality of the parts and oils that will be used. So before deciding to use a coupon, ask to see all the conditions, benefits or services in writing. This way, you can avoid hidden traps or additional expenses for any 'extra' services you might have unwittingly asked for, that may come at inflated prices.
Which bring us back to the importance of finding a reliable mechanic you can trust.
At Angus Car Service, we have long-term loyal clients who have been with us from way back. That's because we treat our customers well and provide a quality service at affordable prices. It's a win-win situation and everyone's happy!

Understanding how gene drives would behave in natural populations is critical if this tool is ever to be used for the variety of applications that it can potentially serve. However, a multitude of factors currently preclude gene drive experiments in natural populations. Mathematical models can prove useful in elucidating the expected behavior of gene drives in response to a number of biological factors and can also reveal patterns of gene drive spread that are too complex to be intuitively predicted. The assumptions and details of a mathematical model influence the applicability of the results to natural populations, similar to the role that experimental conditions play for laboratory experiments. Part of the ILSI Research Foundation's Gene Drive Modeling Conference Seminar Series, this presentation by Dr. Sumit Dhole focused on how simple mathematical models can be used to study expected gene drive behavior, and how biological details can be added to simple models to address the effects of factors like migration and population-density dependence. A particular gene drive, called Engineered Underdominance, which has potential for spatially restricted population alteration served as a case study.
The online seminar was by invitation only.

By MICHAEL WAGAMAN
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) Isaiah Mobley had 19 points and nine rebounds and sparked a late surge to help keep No. 7 Southern California unbeaten as the Trojans held off California 77-63 on Thursday night.
Playing for the first time in nearly three weeks after having three games postponed or canceled due to COVID issues, USC (13-0, 3-0 Pac-12) pulled away with a pair of big runs in the second half to extend its best start since winning its first 14 in 2017.
The Trojans remained mostly isolated during their delay and only had a handful of practices together before resuming their schedule.
"Guys just tried to stay as ready as they could through the quarantine process," Mobley said. "There wasn't much we could do but a lot of guys were watching film, trying to fix the stuff they could work on. Of course we were a little rusty but we just kind of came together and we're starting to catch a flow where everyone's being aggressive, everyone's showing up."
The rust showed early against Cal, but USC coach Andy Enfield found little else to complain about.
"I was worried about our offensive rhythm but we found it pretty quickly," Enfield said. "Once we started defending at a higher level, we took the lead. Our defense in the second half was outstanding."
Mobley, who opened the game with a thunderous one-handed dunk, made several clutch jumpers and repeatedly attacked the Golden Bears defense in the paint. Drew Peterson scored a season-high 17 points for the Trojans, and Boogie Ellis added 14 points and four rebounds.
Grant Anticevich had 19 points for California (9-6, 2-2), and Jordan Shepherd added 17 points.
The Golden Bears lost despite becoming the first team to shoot better than 40% against the Trojans.
"We didn't play well enough to beat a top-10 team tonight," Cal coach Mark Fox said. "We didn't rebound the ball in the first half and then in the second half we didn't force enough stops to even have our rebounding be exposed. They wore us out on the interior and that was more disappointing than surprising."
Mobley scored 12 points in the first half and had a 36-31 halftime lead, but USC couldn't shake the Bears until the second half.
Ellis scored on a pair of driving layups as part of a 10-4 run to open the second half and give the Trojans a 46-38 lead. After Cal closed to 54-50 on Anticevich's baseline jumper, Mobley powered in from the key then hit a 3-pointer to ignite a 16-5 surge.
"Coach has been telling me to stay aggressive, choose my moments but stay aggressive," Mobley said. "Once we got the flow, my teammates believed in me and they put me in the right positions to score."
Southern California: The sluggish start can be written off thanks to the lengthy layoff, because once the Trojans found their rhythm, they looked fine. Mobley kept the offense going and Peterson provided a big lift, connecting on a late 3-pointer to put the game away. USC is looking at another possible break due to COVID-19 in an opponent, but isn't likely to be as long as the previous one.
California: The Golden Bears had won their last nine home games and put up a decent fight against a ranked team that was clearly superior. Mark Fox's team needs to work on the boards, but the program in general is looking up.
Southern California: The Trojans were scheduled to play at Stanford on Saturday but it has been postponed due to ongoing COVID-19 issues within the Cardinal's program. There is a possibility that the game could be rescheduled for Tuesday, which would force USC to play three games in one week.
California: Faces No. 5 UCLA at Haas Pavilion on Saturday. It marks the first time since 1975 that the Bears have faced two Top 10 teams in the same week.

This was another auspicious night for the local opera troupe.
It would be unfair to compare with the great opera houses of the world, but quality needs to be sought and acknowledged wherever art appears. And the quality was high. No flat singing, no embarrassing gaffs, no scenery collapses and an orchestra of a good standard and size.
The modern theatre has charm and includes a 'floating' balcony. It forms part of the Town Hall complex near the Avon 'River' whose botanic banks are currently displaying the wonders of spring including cherry blossoms, horse chestnuts, tulips, etc. The subtitles were by way of TV screens and only gave about one line in ten of the English text. The translation by Brian Castles-Onion was clever and racy but at times laboured by plosives ("Good enough, good enough" repeated over is not easy for singer to instil beauty musically).
I am not sure why proceedings were moved from 11 century crusader times to the 1700's. There were no crusades in the latter period, apart from the soi-disant '4th crusade' to the Americas. Costumes were probably more difficult for the change but all were colourful and tasteful. The settings were projected Rococo scenes on a huge white circle backdrop on an otherwise plain stage. It worked for me. The castle drinking scene with Ory and his 'nuns on the run' was brilliantly staged. Slapstick allegory with the last supper would only have offended the most orthodox in the audience.
I had the privilege of seeing the opera at Glyndebourne in the 1990s and enjoyed the chance to see it again. Despite many memorable musical moments, Ory lacks an 'immortal' aria. The overture is inauspicious and, rather than capitalising on his genius for the catchy tune and orchestral innovation, Rossini may have been experimenting with tempi and other more subtle effects in this, his second last opera before the long composing 'silence'. Some Ory melodies are almost trite yet some features were quite novel and worthy of his successors. Most come from his 'Viaggio a Reims' written for the coronation of the last French Bourbon King and not reproduced on the usual opera 'circuit'. The act one finale has a wonderful descending orchestral ornamental device re-used by Strauss almost exactly at the end of the Fledermaus overture. I also noted some repeated cadences which I have only heard elsewhere in Verdi's operas, written years later. Another duet/concerted piece is similar to the 'Tous les trios reunis' in Figlia del Regimento of Donizetti.
Bernard Hull was the star of the piece as Count Ory. He is from Adelaide according to the programme notes and did a Hoffmann here in the past. He has a highly placed tenor voice suited the to this very difficult role. Like Rockwell Blake, he can sing high, long and loud . and then do it all again, and again, for a whole evening. The voice can sound a little harsh at times but he uses carefully placed diminuendos to soften and sweeten the effect. He also has a confident stage presence, communicating much with his eyes and gestures. Hull also still possesses youthful good looks.
Emma Sloman as the Countess also had some taxing highly placed singing. She managed but may have tired towards the end. Her wig was extraordinary, as was Ory's. Once again, she did coloratura alone, in duet and with chorus, each being exciting and in-character.
As Ory's Page, Majka Kaiser was excellent. The bedroom scene was hilarious with the three in bed singing, acting and cavorting at the one time.
The others all sang well and the continuo was in fine form. The orchestra under Michael Joel played creditably.
All in all an uplifting and positive experience for a tourist from Sydney. And so reassuring to see a small city like Christchurch (pop 400,000) having an active and high quality opera company.
