Louisiana Declares State of Emergency as Residents Brace for Tropical Storm Barry
A state of emergency has been declared in Louisana and thousands have been evacuated as the state gets ready for Tropical Storm Barry.
Forecasters have said the storm could be upgraded to a hurricane when it makes landfall late Friday or early Saturday, but most officials and residents are more worried about the flooding the storm could cause than wind damage.
One of the biggest threats is the Mississippi River, which is typically at 6 to 8 feet in New Orleans this time of the year, but is now at 16 feet due to record flooding.
New Orleans already experienced massive flash floods earlier this week, and many view Barry as the first real test to the levees which broke during Hurrican Katrina in 2005, destroying the city.
Flooding in New Orleans
Louisiana has declared a state of emergency as residents prepare for Tropical Storm Barry which has already caused flash floods and inclement weather throughout the state.
The storm is expected to make landfall late Friday or early Saturday, and forecasters anticipate that it could be upgraded to a hurricane before then.
The National Weather Service issued a hurricane warning Thursday for the areas between Intracoastal City and Grand Isle, about 50 miles south of New Orleans.

Thousands of people are already under mandatory evacuations, while others have been told to prepare for an intense rainfall, strong winds, and enormous storm surges. Around 3,000 National Gaurd members have been deployed for search and rescue efforts.
If Barry does become a hurricane, it would likely be a fairly weak one in terms of wind speeds.
As of Friday afternoon, wind speeds had reached 65 miles per hour, with forecasters predicting it will make landfall just above 74 miles per hour, the speed required to be categorized as a hurricane.
Flood Conditions
As Louisiana prepares for the incoming storm, many are far more concerned about the flood risks and storm surges from Barry's heavy rains than the damage its winds could create.
"This is going to be a major weather event for a huge portion of the state of Louisiana," Gov. John Bel Edwards said Thursday. "The more information we get, the more concerned we are it's going to be an extreme rain event for large portions of the state."

"There are three ways that Louisiana can flood; storm surge, high rivers, and rain. We're going to have all three," Edwards continued.
Forecasters have predicted that the storm could bring a three-to-six-foot storm surge to coastal areas. The Mississippi River represents one of the biggest risks to the state at large.
Between 10 to 20 inches of rain are expected across Louisiana, posing a dangerous threat of flooding from the Mississippi River, which is already inundated with unusual amounts rainwater.
The Mississippi River, which is usually at 6 to 8 feet in midsummer in New Orleans, is now at 16 feet because of record flooding along the waterway.
"This is the first time we've had a tropical system with water levels on the river this high," Jeffrey Graschel, a hydrologist with the weather service's Lower Mississippi River Forecast Center told CNN.
Low-lying parts of New Orleans have already flooded earlier this week in the wake of heavy storms ahead of Barry. It was reported that 10 inches of rain had fallen in parts of the city by noon on Wednesday.
Many streets were covered with dangerous amounts of water, and power outages were also reported.
On Friday, the National Weather Service of New Orleans issued an alert on Twitter warning that the city was "looking at potential for life-threatening flooding in some areas."

A Test for New Orleans
Regardless of Barry's strength, many view the storm as the first real test of the storm system improvements put in place after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Specifically, many New Orleans officials and residents are concerned about the levees that protect the city, and that infamously broke during Katrina, causing massive flooding and damages that New Orleans has still not fully recovered from.
Experts expect rainwaters to push the Mississippi River to swell to 19 feet, just a foot below the tops of the shortest levees.
The Army Corps of Engineers has said that the Mississippi River will likely be contained by levees that protect New Orleans, and many of the floodgates near the river have already been closed.
However, officials still warned that the system of levees and drainage pumps have limited capacity. New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said Thursday that the city's pumps were operating at "optimal capacity," but also added that Barry's downpour could outpace the pumps ability to move the water.
Still, Cantrell stopped short of mandatory evacuations in the city. On Friday, Cantrell announced a voluntary evacuation for the areas outside of the protection of the levees, noting on Twitter that certain areas could expect "a surge between three to six feet."
A Storm Surge Warning is in effect for areas outside of the levee system in Orleans Parish, including Venetian Isles, Lake Catherine, and Irish Bayou, with a surge between three to six feet possible. @nolaready pic.twitter.com/73lIgX2vA8
— Mayor LaToya Cantrell (@mayorcantrell) July 12, 2019
Cantrell has also asked New Orleans residents to shelter in place starting at 8 p.m. local time.
Shelter in place by 8pm, stay off the streets of New Orleans for your safety and the safety of our first responders. @nopdnews @nolafiredept @neworleansems
Residents should be wrapping up preparedness activities now. @nolaready Text BARRY to 888-777 for city emergency alerts. pic.twitter.com/2HcdUSUBaY

Horsefly Brewing and Phelanies Speakeasy are the best locations for local libations
Oct 03, 2022 02:25PM ● By Leanne Goebel
Chances are if you live in Montrose or have visited recently, you've been to Horsefly Brewing Company.
Horsefly's beer is brewed locally using the finest and freshest ingredients. The brewery also has a full food menu featuring fare from appetizers and wings to salads, burgers and sandwiches.
Phil and Melanie Freismuth opened Horsefly in September 2009. Phil had been brewing beer since 1999 and started a home brewers club where he met his former business partner, Nigel Askew. They visited a small brewery in Paonia, liked the mellow and friendly vibe, and thought they might try to open something like it in Montrose.
What began as a small tasting room in the front office of a storage unit rental quickly took off.
"It just blew up," Phil said. "I was a police officer, and Melanie worked in the schools at the time. We both had full-time jobs."
A year later, they moved the brewery to its current location at 846 E. Main St. (there's a second location inside the Montrose Regional Airport). Eventually, they added the kitchen, even though Melanie swore she'd never be in food service again.
They initially rented their kitchen space to a couple who made food for the brewery. However, when they soon left for South Dakota, the Freismuths continued serving food.
"We kept some of their recipes, came up with some of our own, and our staff added items to the menu," Phil said.
In 2018, the couple opened Phelanies, a Prohibition-style speakeasy, at 129 S. Junction.
They leased the space and gutted it to open the secret bar that requires a password for entry. (Not to worry, it's printed on the bottom of every Horsefly receipt and available on Phelanies' Facebook page.)
Phelanies' cocktails are crafted by Dave Warner and his brother Braden. Dave, who worked at Horsefly, was dabbling in mixology.
"He's really into cocktails and knows their history and how to make them," said Phil.
The Freismuths also took Dave and some other employees to Denver for mixology classes.
Phelanies' signature drink is the Old Smokey, an old fashioned served in a stave-smoked glass with whiskey fire. The speakeasy also has a light food menu featuring petite beef Wellington and duck wontons.
After 10 years in business, the Freismuths faced an unexpected challenge—COVID.
"We did carry-out and delivery, and were busier than I anticipated," said Phil. "We were able to reopen and grow back our business. The community supported us. We've been really blessed."
Phil and Melanie are also big supporters of the community. The couple has staff members that have worked for them for over a decade.
"If you take care of your staff, they will take care of you," Phil added.
Depending on the style of beer, Horsefly brews 250 to 350 gallons per batch. They have seven regular brews as well as seasonal and guest taps.
Why a Horsefly?
Visitors and newcomers may wonder from where the names come from. The brewery is named after Horsefly Peak on the Uncompahgre Plateau, a well-known feature of the local landscape. Phelanies is a play on the combination of Phil and Melanie's names.

Expert: Deeply Flawed Nuke Deal Fails to Address Iran's Weaponization Program
The failure to address Iran's work towards weaponization is the biggest failing of the emerging nuclear deal between the P5+1 nations and Iran, according to proliferation expert Emily Landau of the Institute for National Security Studies, The Times of Israel reported yesterday. After describing the deal as "deeply flawed," the Times quotes Landau:
"There is some logic to that, but at the end of day, the biggest lacuna is that weaponization is not being confronted straight out and placed in the forefront of the negotiations," Landau told The Times of Israel. "Your strongest card in the talks is to expose the fact that Iran has violated the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty for decades by working on nuclear weapons capabilities. This has to be at the center of the discussion — that Iran has been stonewalling for years, in clear violation of the NPT."
Most news reports on the prospective deals have been focusing on the number of centrifuges that Iran would be allowed to keep, Landau said. While allowing Iran to operate 6,500 centrifuges was a lamentable concession — the P5+1 originally said they would insist on no more than 1,500 — the reports that a deal is nearing completion without having addressed the Islamic Republic's weaponization efforts is even more worrisome, she said.
"The issue of weaponization hardly gets mentioned in the reports about the upcoming agreement," said Landau, who directs the INSS's Arms Control and Regional Security Project.
Aside from failing to address the nuclear aspects of Iran's weaponization program, Landau also criticizes the deal for not reining in Iran's intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) program. ICBMs Landau points out, "are not non-nuclear, they are delivery systems for nuclear weapons."
Landau added that objections to the deal include "[m]ost nuclear experts" and that opposition to to the terms is "really much broader than Israeli officials and hawks in Congress."
In an interview yesterday (embedded below) with Israeli channel i24, Landau made a similar observation, saying "[t]here seems to be some kind of disconnect between the political process, the P5+1, Iran political process that's been going on for the last 13 months and the parallel process with the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] trying to clear up some of these questions with regard to Iran's weaponizations activities, and you would think that these two processes should be fused together, because, of course, weaponization activities are at the heart of this negotiation."
The emerging details of the deal between Iran and the West are raising concerns that it will give Iran an on-ramp to a nuclear weapon.

Running out of episodes has left me in despair!
The first entry of 2010 is for an anime which has turned me into a bonafide Studio SHAFT fan: Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei. The franchise, currently composed of three television series and a three episode OAV, follows the exploits of Nozomu Itoshiki (a teacher who can only see things in a negative light) and his students who must put up with him. Nozomu's class is filled with a variety of damaged goods girls with various obsessive, antisocial, or just plain wrong personality quirks, and they all spend their days spewing political and pop culture satire mixed with hilarious observations of the everyday absurdities of life and the human condition. It's an excellent show for which success in the event of its licensing here is far from assured. The cute girls and bits of universal humor are an easy sell, but the uniquely Japanese style, humor, and Japan-oriented pop culture references will leave most scratching their heads. In the meantime, there are seventeen cute but damaged girls waiting for votes. Happy new year!

Obituaries (Piotr Kowalski)
Piotr Kowalski, whose art works and researches as to relationships among art, sciences and technologies made him one of the pioneers of the so-called technological art during more than the last three decades, died Jan 7th in a Paris hospital. He was suffering of pneumonia and of a permanent lungdisease due to the chemical materials absorbed by working. Kowalski , aged 76, was born in 1927 in Lvov, in Ukraina, later Poland. After the Second World War, aged 18, he left his town where he worked as a fitter, and went travelling all over Europe, South America and the USA. He settled in Boston where he started his amazing career studying architecture, physics and mathematics at the MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In France, from the beginning of the 50's, Kowalski worked in many fields and with major architects such as Leoh Ming Pei, Marcel Breuer, Jean Prouvé. He concentrated on arts, mainly on sculpture and open space installations, relatively late and he belonged to the technological artists who started from a solid scientifical background. He was always interested in the relationship between plastic art and architecture. In fact, one of his issues was to inhabit the Earth in a poetic way, but always in a kind of 'modernist' equilibrium with a rational scientifical attitude. At the end of the 50's he focused his efforts on plastic arts, using a large spectrum of materials, engines and skills, from glass to plastic, but also electric motors, magnetic fields, light, motion and, later, computers and digital technics. As a matter of fact, in the early 60's he worked with light and motion, very near the Art Luminocinétique as this was realized by the Groupe de Recherches d'Art Visuel of Nicolas Schoeffer.
Kowalski's first significant exhibitions were the one in Bern, in 1963, organized by Harald Szeeman, and the Paris show at the ARC in 1969, curated by Pierre Gaudibert. In 1981, his Time Machine project was an event in Paris Centre Pompidou and, by means of a comprehensible debate, time was assumed by the artist as materia prima, a raw material that can be manipulated by the artist himself.
French citizen from 1971 onwards, he was a teacher at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts, Paris, from 1987 to 1992. A comprehensive one man show was dedicated to him at La Défense, Paris, in 1991. Kowalski's works are to be found – and some of them are site specific realized – in several European Countries, the Usa, Japan, Corea.
As another artist and author, Claude Faure, said about him, Kowalski's strained, as an artist-scientist, in order to give people the keys to decode technological systems and languages, also with the purpose to reveal a potential poetic and cognitive side. At the end of the 80's, in Paris, Piotr Kowalski, Claude Faure and Piero Gilardi established Ars Technica, one of the historical clubs where artists and scientists crossed for years their languages and experiences together. There the writer of this article met Piot Kowalski for the first time.
Since 1994, Piotr had been advisor of Art and Tecnology of the MIT, Boston, and I remember him rather open to his students' needs and visions.

There Are No Coincidences
Topic: Kabbalistic Concepts | Posted:March 5, 2014
Vayikra is a unique portion in many ways; you can tell by reading the commentaries by different kabbalists that there is something very special that happens on this Shabbat, with very special secrets and Light being revealed.
At the end of last week's portion, Pekudei, there was the setting up of the Mishkan, the Tabernacle. It says that Moses could not enter into the Mishkan because the Light of the Creator rested upon it. This portion begins right after that with the words Vayikra (ויקרא) el Moshe, "He called to Moses." It doesn't say who called to Moses, but we assume it's the Creator. Then it says Vayedaber Hashem elav meohel moed lemor, "and the Creator spoke to Moses from the Tabernacle."
The kabbalists point out that the first word, which means "the Creator called out to Moses," is written in a strange way; the Vav-Yud-Kuf-Resh (ויקר) are written in the large form, while the last letter, the Alef (א), is small. There's been great discussion amongst all the kabbalists for thousands of years regarding the secrets behind these five letters, and specifically why the letter Alef is written small.
If you take out the last letter, Alef (א), and you have just the first four letters, Vav-Yud-Kuf-Resh (ויקר), they spell the word vayikar, which means "happened upon him." It connotes a haphazard meeting, or a haphazard calling. We have to be clear about the difference between the two possible words used: vayikar, which means a haphazard, non-usual connection or revelation, and vayikra, which represents a true calling, a true revelation of the Light of the Creator.
The kabbalists explain that throughout our lives we see what we think are coincidences; vayikar represents those coincidences. And it's up to the individual to know that for every coincidence that happens to him, it is really the Light of the Creator that is calling to him. Therefore, we need to begin to see the coincidences in our lives as coming from the Creator, which the letter Alef represents.
So, we have a choice. Do we connect to the coincidence, or do we connect to the Alef, to the Light of the Creator within that coincidence? Because really, as the kabbalists teach us, everything that occurs to us, every single thing that we hear and see, everything that happens in our lives, is really a message from the Light of the Creator.
There is nothing that actually comes from the level of vayikar, coincidence. It is the individual who decides if he is going to see something as a coincidence or not. And if the individual recognizes the Light of the Creator in the situation rather than thinking it's a coincidence, it's almost as if he has a string through which he can call more of the Light of the Creator into his life.
When the verse begins Vayikra el Moshe, we don't know who "He" is; it could be the Light of the Creator, or it could not be the Light of the Creator. But when Moses sees the Alef - even though it's small, even though it's hidden - it means we recognize it as a message from the Light of the Creator; it's like we're saying, "I'm hearing this not from somebody else, I'm hearing this from the Creator." And when we know this is occurring from the Creator, we call the Light of the Creator to be revealed even more into our lives. Then, when the verse continues with vayedaber Hashem elav meohel moed lemor, it becomes even clearer that it is the Light of the Creator speaking to the individual.
Vayikra el Moshe, "He called to Moses," represents all of those times a day when things happen, when we see or hear things, and we have a choice to make - whether we decide it's a coincidence or not. Because when you see a coincidence, you connect only to the vayikar, and you don't see the little Alef, you don't see the Light of the Creator in it, and therefore you never go to the second half of the verse - vayedaber Hashem elav meohel moed lemor. You never gain a deeper revelation of the Light of the Creator to you.
As the Zohar makes clear, the Light of the Creator is never revealed in its totality to an individual. It always begins with what would seem to be a coincidence. Therefore, the test for the individual is whether he will see the little Alef, the Light of the Creator in it. If yes, then the Creator will reveal more and more to you, and the messages and their source will become clearer and clearer. But if we keep missing the non-coincidental situations and deciding they are coincidental, which unfortunately we often do, then we keep connecting to the first four letters, the vayikar, the coincidence, and we don't find the message of the Light of the Creator in it. As such, we never get the next part of the verse. We don't get clearer revelations.
One of the important understandings we receive on this Shabbat is that if we want to gain clarity and a total revelation of the Light of the Creator, we have to make sure that in every situation that happens to us every single day, instead of thinking it is a coincidence, we find the little Alef, the Light of the Creator, in it. As the Zohar tells us, the Light of the Creator is never revealed to us directly. It is always revealed and then concealed, and only the individual who grabs that initial slight revelation merits the next, greater revelation. Therefore, there is no way for an individual to grow in his connection to the Light of the Creator unless he's constantly finding the Alef, the Light of the Creator, in the coincidence. And only then is the Light revealed more and more to the individual.

DevOps has revolutionised the IT industry through the advent of new practices, cultural philosophies and technology innovation. DevOps is a major cultural, process-based mindset change that bridges the gap between the development and operational teams, while improving product and service offerings.
Over the course of the last decade, with the transition from Waterfall to Agile, this transformational shift has enabled Development teams to deliver products and services more frequently to ultimately benefit the customer and decrease time to market. This is enabled with underlying principles applying Automation increased collaboration (between Business & IT), higher velocity deployment and continuous feedback which provides major benefits upfront.
TL Consulting delivers our DevOps maturity models with the customer at the heart of our solution. Applying strong industry knowledge and experience to walk you through the journey; we help you build the bridge between your current company (or platform) maturity and the target state DevOps model. This is achieved through driving change across people, process & technology/tooling competencies, improving application and service performance.
DevOps is not simply a structural change. It is a cultural, values-based change that creates long term business value and ROI. The outcome is improved performance, increased economies of scale and efficient processes and quality of service to the customer. Thus, allowing the development and infrastructure lifecycle to flow smoothly from design and development, automated build, deploy and test through to delivery to integrated pre-production and production environment.
TL Consulting have unique differentiators enabling Continuous integration and Delivery transformation. Our CI/CD approach rapidly increases deployment cycles through automated capabilities and transparent feedback loops. We know that speed is critical for your business, DevOps ensures a faster time-to-market delivery reducing costs and resourcing which in turn boosts return-on-investment.
Continuous integration is a DevOps practice where code changes are regularly merged with a central repository of which automated builds and tests are run.
Identify and fix bugs quicker, improve quality and reduce validation and releases of new software updates with continuous integration practices.
Continuous delivery expands on continuous integration where code changes are systematically tried and tested in a way that allows for the release to production cycle. CD allows for all code changes to be deployed to a testing or production environment after the build stage, giving developers a deployment-ready build artefact that has passed through an automated testing process.
How do CI/CD frameworks interact to accelerate your businesses operations?
There are a few guiding principles that enable accelerated product and service delivery, which include automating and streamlining the software development lifecycle. Most of these practices are accomplished with proper decision making in areas such as architecture, tooling and technology.
One practice is to perform regular application code and release updates. This allows organizations innovate faster for their customers and drive at a higher rate of change while also managing risk along the way. From a quality engineering perspective, bringing more regular and less complex change aligns well to IT automation principles leading to earlier defect detection and more repeatable outcomes.
TLC applies this proven approach that shifts problem resolution to the left through comprehensive CI/CD processes, encountering issues earlier in the software development lifecycle while enhancing automation competency across build, deploy and testing phases.
TL Consulting implement these types of CI/CD frameworks and regularly drive innovation through integration of best in breed tooling to complement your technology strategy leading to enhanced productivity and speed to market.
Every business is different and comes with different levels of maturity and that is why at TL Consulting we take a holistic approach towards delivering the best outcomes for your organization.

I work primarily in two fields: valve amplification and digital. Having studied much circuit topology of the world's finest valve amplifiers, I reached the conclusion that there are not that many differences in topology but the crucial differences are in the design and sophistication of the power supplies. Over the last year I have pioneered upgrading the power supplies of common amplifiers with particular emphasis on the driver and input stages. I also specialize in upgrading key power supply and signal path components to improve performance over the original designs. I am at the stage now where I can honestly claim to be able to improve virtually any amplifier out there.
The closest mainstream commercial operation I know that appears to do similar work is Border Patrol, whose amplifiers have a world class reputation and cost many thousands of pounds. I believe I can offer similar levels of performance at a much lower cost.
With digital the story is similar. There are some quite different designs around for example non oversampling and oversampling Dac solutions, but the key to good digital sound out of any design is a well sorted high capacity power supply and a decent output stage. Whilst I believe valve output stages often offer excellent sonic results, other solutions are possible depending on the Dac chip, with 'direct' output, Class A solid state output stages, and upgraded op amps among the options.
When I receive your amplifier or other equipment I write a report giving my recommendations and a fixed cost for the work. Recommendations are graded in priority, so you will have a clear plan of how much you need to spend to get the biggest bang per buck. Should any other work emerge during dismantling or testing I will of course quote for this before completion.
Needless to say any regular servicing will be included within my recommendations. Some of the equipment I work on was built by me originally. But whether originally made by me or not, the vast majority of my business is repeat.
My system comprises my own custom built 300b Stereo Push pull zero negative feedback amplifier which uses battery bias and has separate choke filters for the input and driver stages. It also has several Black Gate power supply and cathode bypass capacitors and Mundorf film /foil coupling capacitors.
This is fed by a modified Blue Velvet preamp, which I've modded to split and decouple the power supply rail. This has a shunt attenuator, which is remote controlled.
My source is J River MC20 running on a Mac Mini and converted by a self built DDDac NOS Dac. Speakers are self-built Wilmslow Audio Prestige cabinets but using Vifa tweeters, Monacor 12ins bass units and the famous ATC mid range unit used in many high end speakers.
I now have augmented my system with two Mastersound 845 Final Monoblocks.
All of the mods and upgrades I do are thoroughly tested in my own equipment before being rolled out for clients.
I am driven by a passion for achieving the best possible standards of musical reproduction and my goal is to make any equipment perform as best it can within your budget, and in many cases to try and make it perform better than my own equipment before retrofitting the same mods to my own system.
Whilst I don't have a vinyl front end anymore, I have previously owned Rega and Linn turntables, culminating in a Linn Sondek, Ittok and Audio Technica moving coil cartridge. Space in a small London house precluded keeping vinyl and CDs but I love the vinyl sound and to some extent try to create a non aggressive natural digital sound to match a good vinyl rig. You are very welcome to listen to my system and of course compare it to your own equipment before and after modification.
Upgrading some key power supply and signal path components can cost around £100, while a major overhaul and reconfiguration of power supplies might be a few hundred. It's best to e mail with your thoughts first off, then I can give you a good idea before sending /bringing equipment for a firm quote. Even heavy valve amplifiers can be sent around the UK for around £15 by courier these days-and that was with a separate box for the valves too!
Terms of business are 50% payment up front, at which point I will order any necessary parts, with the final 50% payable on completion.
Installation of remote control facility on 6 amplifiers and preamps.
There is a certain sense to this, but of course it depends what and how you measure the particular dimension. Much of the sound quality improvement reaped from better power supplies is because you are removing the dynamic modulation by the output stage of the input and driver stage power supply. If you simply measure a constant sine wave distortion figure at the output the distortion figure will be low, as there is a constant signal and the power supply modulation will be minimal. In real, dynamic conditions distortion of one sort or another will be much higher and whilst you can't measure this directly, you can clearly pick up the power supply modulation on an oscilloscope.
This is clearly nonsense for the measurement brigade or those who only use their ears. Cables have different resistance, capacitance and inductance which are all measurable and different constructions and lengths may have an effect on the signal. At an extreme end, some solid state amps will oscillate when used with high inductance lengthy cables. Eg Naim state very strongly you should only use their cables for this reason. As a generalization most valve amps are very tolerant of speaker cables.There is a further issue with stranded cable. Over the course of a few years this can gradually oxidise where air can permeate the conductors and cause a diode effect which can be audible. The answer is to use single insulated conductors or to swap over cheap multi strand cables every few years. For a cheap high performance single insulated conductor design look no further than Category 5 (Cat 5) computer networking cable.So, I certainly don't recommend spending a fortune on top end cables but do give some thought to cable lengths and types for your system.
The most important consideration is the overall circuit topology and power supply design. That said, 'boutique' components used judiciously can improve overall sound quality. Good examples of this are: upgrading grid input /stopper resistors, using film /foil caps instead of metallised film in the signal path, non inductive resistors instead of inductive ones, or diodes with better performance.
There is some truth in this as you can certainly get great sound from NOS tubes. However, there is often some great sounding modern alternatives available. These may be current production or they may be recent Russian military tubes for example. They often go for a fraction of the NOS tube's price as well.

Everybody was so adamant on wishing you happy 4th and I strive to do nothing like everyone else, so happy 5th everyone. But since I didn't get on her and blog yesterday Ill tell you all about my 4th.
For starters, I slept in. Ahhhhhh I do love to sleep in. Its amazing how when you get older sleeping in takes on such a different meaning. When I was 9am I woke up at 8 to watch cartoons, at 15 I slept til 11am and could have slept all day, now I wake up at 7am and its like I have slept all day long, so imagine my surprise when I woke up at 9am. I was so excited.
Once they get hunkered down in the fruit you run around them and go get in the pool before anyone can stop you!
So I spent some quality time in the swimming pool yesterday. I needed it too. I went to bed on Tuesday night feeling fine, not sore, nothing, then I woke up on Wednesday morning and every single thing hurt. Apparently, 90 sit-ups and 30 burpees will do that for you. Not to mention I ran the stadium so my calves are screaming.
I had a good time doing nothing yesterday. Sleeping in, swimming, no sunburn, stung by something that hurts like hell, fruit bowl and early bed time. Now I have to experience Monday again but the best part of two Mondays in a week is you also get two Fridays!
I hope you all had a happy 4th and I hope your 5th is equally as nice.
Oh and by the way...if you don't have this little kitchen utensil you need to get one. It is the most handy I have every had. Once you cut up a watermelon there is lots to pick up and if you are like me you don't want sticky hands. This thing picks it up all at one time and keeps your hands from getting sticky! A-M-A zing!
I'm sure it works for other foods but I'm not a huge cook so I mostly use it for fruit!
Raechel Ray uses that tool all the time when she cuts up onions and misc. veggies. I think I need to get one too!
Sandy, greatest tool ever. I wish I had gotten this years ago. What is really sad is that Santa brought it to me and Im just now using it.

Day 3 was our busiest yet as the camp we'd be training at, Sitmonchai, was about 1.5-2 hours outside of Bangkok. Sitmonchai is a family run camp. The camp owner's mom cooks all the meals for the fighters and the food is amazing. Her pad thai was the best I've had in Thailand yet. This is probably my favorite camp that we've trained at so far. I really enjoyed their aggressive style centered on leg kicks as well as the one big family atmosphere.

Zurich has sold off its 25 per cent stake in Openwork, effectively turning over control of the network to its advisers.
The provider first set up the network in 2005.
Mortgage Strategy's sister title Money Marketing first reported that plans were afoot to divest its stake in 2015 as part of a long term transition plan. Zurich confirmed this morning that it has now completed the deal.
Openwork, now the largest independently-run network in the country and third largest in adviser numbers only to St James's Place and Intrinsic, will be majority owned by the Openwork Partnership LLP, a body that represents member adviser firms.
However, Openwork's own employees will also hold onto a minority stake through an employee benefit trust.
Zurich will remain on Openwork's panels, with advisers at the network continuing to distribute its products.

Top French gangster in spectacular jailbreak
Apr 14, 2013, 6:48 am SGT
http://str.sg/ZNdA
SEQUEDIN, France (AFP) - One of France's most dangerous gangsters, known for brazen attacks on cash-in-transit vehicles, on Saturday blasted his way out of jail after briefly taking several wardens hostage, officials said.
Redoine Faid, who risked a heavy sentence over the 2010 death of a policewoman, used explosives to blast through five prison doors and break free in the northern town of Sequedin.
Police and helicopters were trying to track the 40-year-old, who set fire to his getaway car in the south of the city of Lille before getting into a second vehicle.
State Prosecutor Frederic Fevre said Faid, who had already been France's most wanted a few years ago, was a "particularly dangerous prisoner" and was still armed and in possession of explosives.
France's Justice Minister Christiane Taubira said Interpol had been called in to help track Faid and added that a Europe-wide warrant had been issued.
"The hunt will initially focus on Belgium of course because we share a border but also extend to the entire Schengen area and beyond," she told reporters from Sequedin.
Fevre said Faid had four hostages with him during the jailbreak. One was released just outside the prison, another a few hundred metres away and then the final two were left along a highway.
Wardens unions described the prison break as "an act of war" and also argued that the Sequedin jail was inadequate for such dangerous convicts.
"This escape and hostage-taking were methodically prepared," the CGT union said, complaining that searches on detainees were not thorough enough.
Taubira denied that there had been any "fault" on the part of the wardens in the dramatic episode.
A woman who was visiting her imprisoned son described the chaos caused by Faid's sprint to freedom.
"I thought my last hour had come. Suddenly, everything started blowing up.
The walls started shaking, as did the windows and the doors. I was really scared," Rose Lafont said.
Prison union leader Etienne Dobremetz said Faid had received a visit from his wife earlier on Saturday morning.
Contacted by AFP, her lawyer vehemently denied any suspicion of involvement in her husband's escape.
"It happened very quickly, it was clearly very well organised, we are still busy putting the facts together," a local administrative official said.
Faid is also known for co-authoring two books after a decade in prison for robbery, about his delinquent youth and rise as a criminal in Paris' impoverished crime-ridden suburbs.
He said his life of crime was inspired by American films such as Scarface and Heat - where Robert De Niro's armoured car heist has been cited as the model for real life attacks in South Africa, Colombia and other countries.
"Movies for me were like a user's guide for armed robbery," he told the LCI news channel when his autobiography was released in 2010 relating his rise from petty thieving in his native northern Paris suburb to gangster stardom.
After his first robbery, Faid, of Algerian extraction, fled to Israel where he wore the Jewish skullcap and picked up Hebrew to blend in.
Despite vowing he had turned his back on crime Faid was in 2010 suspected of being the mastermind of an armed robbery in which a young policewoman was killed in a shootout.
Faid, nicknamed "The writer", landed back in prison in 2011 for failing to comply with his parole conditions and was due to serve the remaining eight years of his original sentence.
He faced 30 more years over the policewoman's death however.

The Department of Veterans Affairs today published a proposed rule implementing urgent care provisions of the AHA-supported MISSION Act of 2018, which requires the agency to establish a new Veterans Community Care Program by this June. The rule would grant eligible veterans access to care from qualifying non-VA entities or providers without prior approval from VA for services provided at urgent care facilities and walk-in retail health clinics as designated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The rule also would establish the copayment obligations for veterans. The department will accept comments on the proposed rule through March 4.

The recent crisis between Russia and the Ukraine had begun on Sunday with a naval confrontation in the Black sea. Russian forces had fired shots in front of the Peninsula of Crimea three Ukrainian naval vessels. A number of the Ukrainian Navy soldiers were wounded, a total of 24 crew members were detained. Russia accuses the Ukrainians, in turn, a boundary violation, and a "provocation". President Vladimir Putin expressed concern about the promulgation of martial law in Ukraine and warned Kiev against further "rash actions".
Despite international Appeals for their release, the Russian judge, ordered to take twelve of the Ukrainian Navy soldiers for two months in pretrial detention. Against three injured seafarers treated in hospital, was U imposed-imprisonment. The fate of the remaining soldiers, decides on Wednesday. The Ukrainian government and its Western allies had appealed to Russia, all of the captured Marines to release immediately. The lawyer Aider Azamatov, representing one of the soldiers, called the court's decision "unfounded and illegal". He'll appeal.
The Russian state television had film recordings of the interrogations of some of the Ukrainian soldiers by the Russian security services are broadcast. In it is to hear how one of the respondents giving a "provocative nature" of the Ukrainian Navy operation against the Crimea. The Ukrainian Navy commander Igor Worontschenko rejected this. He accused Russia to have the Marines put under pressure.
the EU considers further sanctions against Russia for possible
UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, the parties to the conflict are called on to "exercise maximum restraint". It would have to be immediately measures for the "reduction of tensions" to be initiated. German Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) had phoned on Monday evening with Vladimir Putin and called for "de-escalation and dialogue".
Austria, which currently has the EU presidency, is considering because of the incident on the Black sea for more sanctions against Russia. However, it should first be clarified what exactly happened on Sunday, said the Austrian foreign Minister, Karin Kneissl. Currently, statement against statement stand in regard to the confrontation "".
The relations between the governments in Kiev and Moscow are distraught, since the spring of 2014. At the time, Russia had annexed the Peninsula of Crimea to support the Pro-Russian fighters in Eastern Ukraine, is active. The separatists fighting there since 2014 against the government in Kiev, more than 10,000 people have been killed in the conflict so far.

Hydraulic instability is a complex factor causing the vibration of hydro-turbine generator shafting system (HGSS), and the mechanism is the uneven distribution of flow along the circumference. The common reasons for this phenomenon include the inconsistency of the blade exit flow angle, the relay stroke and the guide vane opening. This paper mainly focuses on the research of the hydraulic instability caused by the inconsistency of the blade exit flow angle. Firstly, based on the Kutta-Joukowski theorem, the hydraulic unbalance force model is firstly presented. Then, considering the chain reaction among the hydraulic, mechanical and electrical instability, a combined nonlinear mathematical model of the HGSS is established. Finally, by using numerical simulation, the dynamic characteristics of the HGSS with the changing of the deviation of the blade exit flow angle, the blade exit diameter and the guide vane opening angle are analyzed. Moreover, it is found that the hydraulic instability determines the overall changing trend of the shafting dynamic behaviors. In addition, some stable ranges of the HGSS are distinguished. But above all, these results can efficiently provide a reference for the design and manufacture of hydro-turbine blades and the operation of hydropower stations.

Hartnett: Rangers Need The Real Dan Girardi To Reemerge
Filed Under:Dan Girardi, New York Rangers, Sean Hartnett

By Sean Hartnett
» More Columns
Will the real Dan Girardi please stand up? If the Rangers are to live up to expectations, they're going to need a return to form from their 31-year-old shutdown man.
For the bulk of the first half, Girardi has struggled with puck management and has appeared slow-footed. The latter could be attributed to a cracked right knee cap, which has caused painful swelling. After a five-game layoff, Girardi returned to game action as the Rangers began their post-holiday schedule with a 5-3 road defeat to the Nashville Predators.
Let's make this crystal clear. Alain Vigneault and the Rangers' organization as a whole view Girardi as an instrumental piece to their winning formula – and why shouldn't they? He's earned that trust through performing at crunch time in the most pressured playoff games.
"He's an absolute animal," defenseman Keith Yandle said of Girardi earlier this season. "He doesn't play easy minutes. Whenever there's a scrum, or a shot to be blocked or a tough position to be in, he's the guy the team's counting on to do it. He does it night in and night out. He obviously has the respect of everyone around here and throughout the league. It goes without saying that he's one of the biggest warriors I've played with."
Girardi and 28-year-old Marc Staal are the two longest-tenured Rangers defensemen, and they were pillars of their run to the 2014 Stanley Cup Final. They haven't played up their standard so far this season, and each has logged heavy, physically demanding minutes. Even captain Ryan McDonagh's game has lacked the consistency of years past.
According to War-On-Ice.com, Girardi's five-on-five on-ice Corsi differential of minus-181 is the worst of all NHL skaters. McDonagh is 15th-worst among defenseman at minus-100 and Staal is 17th-worst among blue liners at minus-95. But advanced statistics only paint part of the picture.
There's a school of thought that Girardi has already hit the decline and his presence on the top defensive pairing drags down the play of McDonagh, who has performed noticeably better with Kevin Klein on his right side.
Again, the key word is trust. Since arriving in New York, Vigneault has put his faith in his veterans to play their way into form. Perhaps as the swelling in his knee goes down, Girardi will return to his A-game. Say what you'd like about his first half, but he typically finds a way to raise his game in time for the playoffs.
Through no fault of his own, 23-year-old defenseman Dylan McIlrath is set to be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive game. McIlrath leads the Rangers with a five-on-five on-ice Corsi For percentage of 53.5. Despite playing just 17 games, his plus-31 five-on-five Corsi differential only trails team leader Keith Yandle's plus-33. McIlrath has largely put in steady performances, and you don't want to see a kid's progress halted by a spell in the press box. Somehow, someway, Vigneault needs to find a way to get him back in the lineup.
One player who needs to earn back Vigneault's trust is Kevin Hayes. Heading into Wednesday's game in Tampa, much of the chatter is revolving around Vigneault directing pointed comments at the second-year forward. Vigneault did not hold back his criticisms of the 6-foot-5 forward and confirmed to reporters in Nashville that Hayes will be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's game at Amalie Arena.
"At this time, unless something changes, he's definitely not going to play," Vigneault told The Record's Andrew Gross following Tuesday's practice in Nashville. "I think we all have our tipping points and I think Kevin has had an extra long leash, especially considering (Derek) Step(an) was out for quite some time. But there's just nothing going on.
"And at the end of the day, we're at the point now where we've got to make some decisions in the best interests of the team. When you go through a season, there are phases where you're trying to develop. You're trying to work as you're trying to win. Obviously winning is always the final component to everything. But in the area beyond that, you're trying to find out about people.
"In Kevin's case, I think we made it clear our expectations about him, and what we felt he could do were very high. Obviously he hasn't lived up to that. Did we overestimate his possibilities? I don't know. Time will tell. But I do know what we're seeing now is not good enough."
After a standout rookie season which earned him plaudits for his poise and maturity, Hayes is underperforming in year two. He has collected 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) through 37 games and is goalless in his last 16 games.
Maybe this kind of wake-up call is what Hayes needs at this stage of his career. A growing number of writers have criticized his effort level and there's been times when Hayes has glided back on odd-man rushes. In the case of many promising youngsters, there comes a time when they need to learn a hard lesson about what it takes to earn their place. Given his mature nature, it wouldn't be surprising to see Hayes take AV's comments seriously and strive toward meeting expectations.

Palmer, Alaska is a small town about 45 minutes north of Anchorage and a gateway to endless opportunities to explore Alaska's rugged wilderness. It was an unlikely place to see more than 30 women gather for a weekly fatbike ride in the middle of February. Unlikely until Heather Campfield brought the advocate program to Palmer and created a plan with her bike shop, Backcountry Bike and Ski, to grow women's cycling.
Heather is an environmental engineer and avid cyclist living and riding bikes year-round in one of the coldest places in the US. She took the program and blew away all expectations. Heather's winter rides not only gave women a place to come and have an incredible time riding bikes, but brought in first time customers to buy new bikes and gear. She led clinics that taught women what to wear in colder conditions, how to change flat tires, and basic bike etiquette. And also helped her shop host events which catered to new and existing riders.
Heather's shop is selling more bikes and gear to women than ever before. Their sales to women have grown significantly and Trek's market share in this shop is at an all time high. The shop attributes the success in sales growth to the work Heather has done as a Trek Women's Advocate.
Is your brand ready to grow engagement with new and existing users? Create experiences that give your customers a chance to connect around your brand and you'll lock-in their loyalty.
