A post for Daisy Fae, who enjoys New York stories.
In 1986, a renovation project was completed on Carnegie Hall. The acoustics of Carnegie Hall were something that musicologists and the city always took great pride in. But, post-renovation, music purists insisted that the sound had somehow been compromised, particularly in the lower registers. There was a growing theory that a thin layer of concrete that hadn’t been there before was installed under the stage floor. Officials involved with the renovation adamantly denied the existence of the concrete. They said the story was pure fiction and they dismissed the critics as conspiracy theorist crackpots.
Well, as usual, the crackpots were right. In 1996, Hall administrators announced that there WAS INDEED a heretofore unknown layer of concrete below the stage and it was removed. The reviews were unanimous. The Hall’s warm acoustics were returned to their original form.
Can you imagine!? I was amazed by that. At the end of a concert, someone turned to their date and said, “I enjoyed the adagio, but it sounds like they’ve mistakenly installed a thin layer of concrete under the stage.” I’ll never be that perceptive about anything.
a concert in Carnegie Hall is on my ‘must do’ list… i wonder if it was leaked from the rehab crews? how could you tell something that subtle? Maybe the musicians…
daisy: Actually, you hit the nail right on the head. The complaints started with the conductors and musicians and it snowballed from there.
Cheers to the person who has such an acute ear that they knew what the issue was.Jeers to the deceitful officials for dismissing the claims.
While I’m not a musician, I am somewhat perceptive and can tell when something is “not quite right”. Doubt I’d have been able to pinpoint the source (without investigating) though.Ah, to be labelled a “crackpot” again. And again. And again.Nice short story T.U.B.
It’s not that you’re not as perceptive about those things. It’s probably because you have better things to worry about than concrete.
No doubt. I think I have a pretty good ear for music – but nowhere near that good!

And now, a few words from me:
Hi everyone, my name is Bear and through no fault of my own I find myself looking for a new home. I’m a very friendly, sweet dog with everyone but it can take a few minutes to warm up to new people. Once you get to know me all you will have to do is look into my eyes and you will be able to see that I will absolutely love you every minute of every day. I will become your faithful companion.
If you are looking for that special guy that will devote his life to you then look no further, I’m hear waiting for you!
And now, a few words from my foster mom:
Bear is a very sweet dog and just absolutely adores being with people. Bear would love to be able to sleep on your bed with you. He will start off at the top of the pillows behind your head. He will sometimes pet your head with his paw, it is as if he is giving you comfort; he is so sweet. When he is totally relaxed, he loves to fall asleep on his back.
Bear is always ready to go with you wherever that might be. He loves to go out for his daily walk and looks forward to this. Bear needed a refresher course to become toilet trained when he first came in his foster home and he caught on very quickly. He loves having access to a backyard and will ask to go outside by standing in front of the door. Bear, like most dogs will bark so apartment or a townhouse would not be suitable for her. He is hoping for an easy-going companion dog in his new home.
If you think that Bear may be the perfect fit for your home, he is waiting patiently for your application!

Move Will Consolidate Operations
Lawrence, KS-based helicopter parts supplier Eurotec Vertical
Flight Solutions has announced it is pulling up stakes and
relocating its operations to the town of Eudora.
The company purchased the former administrative offices of
M-Pact Worldwide, a medical supplies company, which closed its
operation late last year, according to the Lawrence
Located on the north side of Kansas Highway 10, the
21,000-square-foot building offers Eurotec a chance to keep up with
rising demand for new and used parts, said company president and
owner Chad Decker.
Business has been good for Eurotec, with doubled sales over the
past three years. The company has built a client base of more than
450 owner/operators and service shops that typically work with six-
to eight-passenger helicopters, Decker said.
Eurotec has also secured two contracts during the past year with
the US Department of Homeland Security. The agency's helicopter
fleet has been steadily growing as have other law enforcement and
security agencies. Air ambulances, oil crew transports and
tourism-related helicopter demand has fueled the need for new and
serviceable used parts, Decker said.
"If you've taken a tour in Hawaii or Las Vegas, most likely
there's a part from Eurotec on it," he said.
The new building will enable Eurotech to consolidate its
operations. In addition to its current offices, the company also
has a separate 2000 square-foot storage center, Decker said. The
company currently employs 10 workers and has plans to add another
five to 10 within the first year in the new location.
Decker said Eurotec had hoped to stay in Lawrence, but was
unable to locate suitable quarters and timing was an issue.
"Because of the rapid growth of our company, building new just
wasn't an option," Decker said. "When we found this building on the
market, it didn't take us very long to make the decision."
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the property had been
listed at $1.295 million. The company aims to have interior
remodeling complete soon and targets Sept. 1 as moving day.
"It's a long-term investment," Decker said. "We plan to be
around for a long time."

Access to Medical Services
Learn about the experience of patients attempting to receive services at the hospital. What is the insurance requirement? Coordination of services. Waiting times to see healthcare providers. Best practice for coordinated care. Tools to improve your access.
GOALS: Access to all aspects of healthcare in a timely manner at the various hospitals in the area.
VISION OF BEST PRACTICE: Take a look at the organizations who are achieving excellent access to quality care
As more “hospital” network emerges, we will include ease of coordination of care. For example, whether the facility's affiliation with a provider network would make it more likely that a consumer would be referred to health professionals or other organizations in that network. The access goes beyond medical services and must include the availability of translation or interpretation services for non-English speakers and people with communication disabilities.
The 5 Liberty Bells grade for access to quality medical care is derived from availability and ease of accessing medical care at the hospital.
The overall grade includes the experience of patients attempting to receive services at the hospital. What is the insurance requirement? How well are the needed medical services coordinated? What are the waiting times to see healthcare providers? These results are compared to best practices in a particular category.
The citizen-oriented grade of access to healthcare is derived from the following categories the grade is totaled into the overall hospital grade in the hospital profile. As always our goal is to make all hospital tops and our grading reflects that fact. Here is the overall grading scale and the scale for the following access to healthcare categories:
◊ Emergency room and trauma
◊ Heart conditions
◊ Lung conditions
◊ Quality Surgical Care
◊ Maternity care
◊ Cancer care
◊ Stroke care
◊ Orthopedic care
◊ Intensive Care

AFP – International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said Wednesday she had ordered an immediate inquiry into the situation in Mali where Islamists have taken over the north of the country.
“I have instructed my office to immediately proceed with a preliminary examination of the situation,” Bensouda said in a statement after talks with Malian Justice Minister Malick Coulibaly.
Mali said last week it planned to ask the ICC to probe atrocities allegedly committed by armed groups occupying the north. They are accused by rights bodies of rapes, executions and use of child soldiers.
Bensouda told AFP last week that the ongoing destruction of the shrines of Muslim saints in Timbuktu was a war crime, and that the court was collecting information on the matter.
Mali›s interim prime minister Cheick Modibo Diarra on Tuesday presented a roadmap for rescuing his country from a post-coup crisis to the region›s lead mediator.
His meeting with Burkina Faso President Blaise Compaore comes a day after Diarra promised in a national address to form a unity government to steer the country back to stability after the March coup, as demanded by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Diarra said that during their two-hour meeting, he and Compaore discussed the roadmap, which lays out a one-year plan for a return to constitutional rule, and the formation of a unity government to oversee the transition.
Diarra also said ECOWAS military experts were in the process of carrying out an «audit» of the foundering Malian army to determine its needs.
«We will need to be able to write very precise requests to the United Nations, the African Union and ECOWAS in accordance with the audit’s results,» he said.
ECOWAS wants to send a 3,000-strong military force to Mali, but is waiting for United Nations approval and a formal request from Bamako.
The west African regional organisation has given Mali’s embattled interim authorities until July 31 to form a unity government or face suspension from the 15-nation group.
A more inclusive government is expected to come up with a framework to win back the vast desert north of Mali, which was taken over by hardline Islamists and rebel groups after the coup.
The aim is to unite the disparate political forces in Mali to take back control of the north and halt attacks in Bamako against public figures and journalists.
The attacks have been carried out by armed men believed to be close to the former military junta, which has handed over power but remains influential.

Maybe I went too far using the same jars for decorations in my home this year but I just can’t get enough of how lovely they look!
You’ve already seen how I used it for Halloween and for Thanksgiving… But this time, I decided to try using the jar in a craft project with Marco.
We used, of course… a jar, sea salt, a small plastic pine branch that I cut it from our plastic christmas tree with some play dough on the base, a snowman candle that I had from previous years and one of the chalkboard tags with a new message: Be Merry! * (This time I used a white Sakura Gelly Roll to write the message).
This jar project was fun, cute and easy to do. You just put all the elements inside and close the lid.
The only issue is that I don’t know how much time it will last on our coffee table since this little toddler grabs it anytime he goes by the table and start shaking it constantly! Anyway, it was fun!
PS: I’d love to know about your DIY christmas decorations! The season is just starting!
I do like Martha Stewart and all the fancy, lovely ornaments that you can find everywhere during the christmas season.
The thing is that, since we moved from NY and for a few more months, we’re living in a small one bedroom apartment with some still unopened moving boxes around and… with a toddler.
But I still wanted to make something for the most wonderful time of the year at home.
So, let’s get started telling you what I did.
First of all, the tree. We bought a little tree at our local Trader Joe’s and we hope to have him with us for some more christmases. We named him Pinono and Marco says goodbye to him and to Ludmila -our orchid- every night before going to bed.
Since I also was on a budget, I took advantage of the dollar spot at Target and got some ornaments there.
As you may see in the pictures, this is how a christmas look at my place. In between the mess, the moving boxes, the guitar, the printer… But it’s real, it’s christmas and I love it 🙂

It’s been a difficult experience for the crypto market until 2022. By November the market was down by 70 percent from the previous high at the end of November. Just when the market was looking down after the FTX crash turned things even more dire. The question is, can the crypto market be able to recover by 2023?
Crypto Market Dips are Cyclical
The cryptocurrency market, specifically Bitcoin has experienced its fair share of dips in the past. And every time, it has bounced back with a big increase.
For instance, in 2013, Bitcoin reached a peak of $1,160. Then it fell for over a year, reaching a low of $150. But, in 2017, it broke that record and hit a record highest of $19,600. In 2018, the price was at $3,100. In 2020, the price broke that resistance and hit a new highest of $68,000 in November 2021. Just like that, we’ve witnessed another drop. However, history has shown us that following each dip there’s a bull-run.
Every Dip is Followed by a Long Bull Run
Just like we’ve seen in the past, dips tend to be followed by a lengthy bull run that finally breaks through the resistance created by the market’s previous highest price. This pattern can be seen not only in Bitcoin but also other cryptocurrencies.
Growing Use of Crypto and Blockchain
Blockchain and cryptocurrency technology has made significant progress in the last few years. With more and better companies and industries embracing it, its usage and acceptance is rising. From finance to gaming cryptocurrency is being utilized in a variety of ways. And this growing use case could lead to more people being involved in the crypto market which could drive the prices up.
Increased institutional interest in crypto
In recent times, we’ve seen a growing demand from investors of institutional scale in cryptocurrency. From hedge funds to banks numerous large institutions are beginning to investigate the potential for crypto-based assets. The increased interest of institutions can bring stability to the market for crypto and result in greater prices.
Regulations of the government
As the market for crypto continues to mature as it matures, governments all over the world are beginning to establish more favorable rules for cryptocurrency. This is likely to attract more investors and boost the mainstream adoption of crypto.
Blockchain has many more applications.
The underlying technology behind many cryptocurrency, blockchain, is a broad range of potential use cases beyond just financial transactions. From supply chain management to voting systems, more companies are starting to explore how they can utilize blockchain technology. This will stimulate more investment and excitement in crypto.
Blockchain and cryptocurrency technology is at the very beginning of development. As advancements continue to be made in areas like security and scalability, potential of cryptocurrency assets will continue to increase. This could lead to greater adoption and higher prices.
Global economic uncertainty is growing
Due to the constant economic uncertainty caused due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other factors many investors are looking for safe haven assets such as bitcoin and even gold. Since the economic outlook for the world remains uncertain and uncertain, this could lead to increased demand for crypto and more expensive prices.
Retail investors are able to earn interest
Investors from institutions aren’t the only ones showing interest in cryptocurrency. Retail investors, also known as individual investors, are also starting to get involved in the crypto market. With increasing numbers of people learn about crypto and how to invest in it, this could lead to an increase in demand and consequently higher prices.
Growing awareness and acceptance of crypto
As the crypto market is maturing increasing numbers of people are beginning to learn about and understand the concept. As awareness and acceptance of cryptocurrency grows, it will lead to increasing numbers of people purchasing and holding crypto, which could drive up prices.
compound crypto interest
Decentralized finance (DeFi) is an area that is rapidly expanding in the crypto market that allows financial services to be developed on top of blockchain technology. As DeFi continues to grow and more projects and platforms come online, this could result in increased use and more expensive prices for crypto.
The development of crypto payment methods
As the crypto market continues to grow as more and more businesses are beginning using crypto to be a means of payment. This could result in increased use of crypto in everyday transactions and an increase in the cost of transactions.
The increased investment of sovereign wealth funds
Sovereign wealth funds, which are state-owned investment vehicles, are starting to explore crypto as an asset class. As more of these funds dedicate a part of their portfolio to crypto, this could result in a rise in demand and increased prices.
Utilization of crypto to make international payments
One of the biggest benefits of cryptocurrency is its ability to facilitate fast and cheap cross-border payments. As more and more people and businesses begin to use crypto for international transactions, this can lead to a rise in the demand for it and a rise in prices.
The number of ATMs that accept crypto is increasing.
As the number of ATMs that accept crypto continue to grow it will be easier for people to buy and store cryptocurrency, which can increase demand and price.
Development of security tokens
Security tokens, also known as digital assets that are used to represent ownership in an asset like stock or real estate, are a rapidly growing area of the crypto market. Since more and more security tokens will be created and traded, it can lead to a higher demand, and thus higher costs for cryptocurrency.
A greater adoption rate by merchants
With the increasing number of merchants accept crypto as a means of payment, this makes it easier for people to hold and use crypto, which could boost demand and increase prices.
So, will crypto grow in 2023? It’s only time to find out. But with these factors being considered, it’s likely that the crypto market will see a recovery in 2023. For those in it for the long haul patience and discipline is crucial.


Over the past several months, we have seen rioting in some Arab and European countries. The riots were sparked by the high costs of food, government austerity measures and government oppression.
We have some of the same dynamic going on in the United States. But through a system of bribery, the U.S. government has succeeded, at least temporarily, in preventing Americans from rioting in the streets.
The number of Americans now on food stamps is 44,082,324 as of December 2010, up 13.1 percent from a year ago. This is more than 14 percent of the U.S. population. Unemployment is at 9 percent, and President Barack Obama and Congress have extended unemployment benefits to 99 weeks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average stands at about 12,700. It first hit this mark in late 2007 — more than four years ago. Of course, because of the bursting of the housing bubble, the Dow could be much worse. It dropped to 7,063 in December of 2008. But the political elites threw money at the Dow in order to prop it up, to give America a sense that things were alright. After all, a rising Dow means prosperity… right?
But Americans are too busy and distracted playing with their iPad 2s and gossiping on Twitter about Charlie Sheen’s rants to have any time to protest in Washington, D.C.
As a result of QE2, the Federal Reserve is now “buying” 70 percent of U.S. Treasuries. You can believe it or not as you wish, but the U.S. government is in a state of collapse.
Precious few are prepared. You are warned: We have alerted you for many months. Now this is a flashing red alert.
Please remember that in the coming inflation, food stamps and all U.S. entitlement programs will come to a complete halt.
For those millions on Social Security and/or other entitlements, I do not believe that these will be stopped or cut per se. But the same effect would come about through inflation of the currency. My friends, you will get your money, but it will be so worthless that it won’t buy anything.
So what’s new? We have experienced this for years.
We have warned for years to buy silver and gold and store food and water. Ha, doesn’t sound so way out now, does it?
Please keep your gold and silver and food in your personal possession. It amazes me how quickly people will trust someone else with their gold and silver. Don’t do it!
Is it too late to buy gold and silver? The answer is “No, no and no!” As the Fed destroys the U.S. dollar, you will look back at how cheap gold and silver are now.
Stocks? Yes, gold and silver stocks and energy stocks — concentrate mostly on oil stocks.
Buying gold and silver and oil stocks and storing food and water are the only ways Americans can survive the chaos we are now in.
You ain’t seen nothing yet. Be alert!!
Should you sell your gold and silver as it corrects down? Never! If you do, you will be painfully sorry. Do you think you are smart enough to sell and buy back in at a lower price?
You aren’t; you will lose your shirt. Stay with the trend. This guarantees your bull-market position all the way to the top.
What will happen at the top? Stay with us, as we stay in tune with the markets.
Be reminded that gold and silver and food will outrun the collapse of the dollar. If the U.S. dollar goes, as it surely will, you can begin bartering with your most valuable assets.
Some suggest that a new dollar will appear, backed by silver or gold. I don’t know, but I expect that or some quasi-gold monetary system. (Steve Forbes predicted last week that the U.S. would return to the gold standard within five years.)
Are the U.S. government and Federal Reserve system collapsing? I can easily answer that with this question: Is the U.S. dollar collapsing? A currency that is being depreciated or inflated is, by all definitions, collapsing. This fact has nothing to do with whether we believe it.
Can it be stopped short of collapse? If stopped now, it would cause a collapse even sooner. What do we mean? We mean we have passed the point of no return. Too much fraud and too much debt exist in the U.S. They must be washed away.
What currencies will be left standing? We believe the Swiss franc and the Canadian dollar, but these will have to return to gold backing finally.
Keep in mind that most of the American people are totally oblivious to what you read here at Personal Liberty Digest™. Life in the near future will be very, very hard for them.
How long do we have? It appears to me that we are very close to economic and social collapse. But times can yet wobble along for months or even a few years. It is certain things will get visibly worse in many ways, especially now that the endgame is here.
One of the prominent events of the endgame is more war. The U.S. has wars going on in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, the later begun under the pretext of humanitarianism and to end the oppression of the Libyan people. Another war, this time with Pakistan, is brewing following America’s incursion into that country to execute Osama bin Laden. We are firing missiles at suspected terrorists in Yemen.
It is all a pretext to hide the collapse of the American empire, along with a desperation to control the world’s oil. It proves the foxes are still in charge of the henhouse, and the henhouse is on fire!

Bill Maher to God: Stand Aside for ObamaCareBy Stuart Schwartz
The way Bill Maher sees it, resistance to ObamaCare is all God's fault. Why? Because so many people believe in this "schmuck" who lives in the clouds...and this belief, in turn, intensifies opposition to ObamaCare.
This leftist social critic, anti-Christian crusader, and HBO comedy show host warned God at the end of last week to back off, to allow smart people like himself and Barack Obama and the New York Times editorial board to push the God-fearing "ignoramuses" aside this week and take control of the nation's health care.
He told this to "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" guest host Lawrence O'Donnell on MS-NBC. Although mainstream media didn't provide us with God's reaction (God is a hopeless conservative, persona non grata for legacy networks and newspapers), Maher most certainly cheered the three viewers in the audience of the NBC news cable operation, who had taken time off from pecking out obscenities on the Daily Kos website to get a dose of leftist smarts.
Welcome to the world of Bill Maher. He urges the "vicious, horrible character" known as God, who is less real than the "lint that lives in my navel," to stand aside while Obama and Pelosi and Reid "scare the American people" into ObamaCare. Maher added his voice to the progressive chorus urging the president to "go gangsta" on the majority of Americans, who, as our president put it, still cling to God and guns.
Enough about human dignity and "inherent" God-given rights! What business does a Christian, a "Wal-Mart shopper who resurfaces driveways with [his] brother-in-law," have questioning a Harvard-trained president who, assisted by our media and political elites, has put together a cradle-to-grave health care system? Rights?! To people who have that "neurological disorder" known as religion, whose belief in God "stops [them] from thinking"?
For Maher, God is behind the mass stupidity of the American people. Or rather, it's belief in God, a fairy tale that refuses to go away. Obamacare, in which educated atheists make decisions for the God-fearing masses, Maher says, will be the biggest step our elites can take to fix the stupidity emanating from religious America.
God is the reason why these "idiots" dare defy Barack Obama, the Democrats, and the media and entertainment elite. Were it not for belief, these Christians and Jews and plumbers and waitresses, each an individual who "disgusts me," would stay out of the health care debate, leaving it to their evolved betters.
Evolution confers rights. Progressive brilliance derives from evolutionary superiority, not a fairy tale that produces "babbling, barely house-broken, uneducated being[s]," Maher says. He includes in the latter Sarah Palin, Fox News hosts, and the huge swaths of Wal-Mart shoppers between Washington, D.C. and Beverly Hills. Stupidity is a gift from the "sky god."
And that's why this week will be a giant step for the natural order of humanity, when our president (who "can't help it if he's a magna cum laude Harvard grad" whom you don't like "because he's smarter than you") and his elite advisers assume control. ObamaCare is the beginning of the end for God and women like Sarah Palin, who, Maher says, sharpens her analytical skills "by talking to her Down syndrome son."
Women, "retards," dogs and cats -- same difference, Maher says. All are in need of direction from their betters. And we're going to give it to them, he tells cheering audiences at universities across the nation, because -- as an official "Ivy League Celebrity" -- we know best.
Not that Maher has anything against women. No, he loves women, especially when they meet the business end of his fist...or a hammer to the head wielded by his fist, as one account of Maher displaying loving, atheistic fondness for a girlfriend puts it. Bruises administered by the Time (magazine)-stamped "high-minded" culture critic appear to be a constant of Maher's relationships with women, as a number have accused.
Hey, what's a bit of abuse among friends? Just trying to get these women to understand their proper place, knock a bit of that culture-generated Christian nonsense out of them. After all, Darwin evolved woman to be naked and in bed, or, as a former girlfriend complained to the New York Post, behaving as "a Muslim woman with my head wrapped, walking 10 paces behind my man."
And that's why Maher has no problem with sharia law coming to the United States. Anything but our Judeo-Christian "arrogance parading as humility." At least Islamic nations are smart enough to understand that the few should lead the many...and that even women in a burkas have what it takes to fulfill their functions, as attested by "the word 'Juicy' on their ass!"
This is true enlightenment, Maher tells cheering audiences. This is the intelligence, the attitudes, the values that will save the United States from a God who is just something that the Brothers Grimm came up with, a Judeo-Christian God who insists in the "crock" known as the Bible that men and women have equivalent dignity and rights.
Equal!? Equal!!! Leave it to our mass fantasy, the Christian Jack-and-the-Beanstalk, to not understand that women exist "for the pleasure of men" and that breasts evolved so that we can have "real men hanging off them."
And so Maher cheers on ObamaCare, a giant step toward government of the enlightened. We're going to see progress this week, he says -- the kind of progress that only an educated and godless elite can bring.
Godless -- that's the key, he emphasizes. God is small-town diners, churches, and parades. But godless-America atheism is Ivy League and Manhattan and Washington, Beverly Hills and Boston, where dignity comes -- as it should -- from brains, position, and government.
ObamaCare America is Maher's America, he says, where every woman is guaranteed treatment...after he takes a hammer to her head.

New research sheds light on the lingering effects that post-traumatic stress (PTS) can have on veterans long after they have returned home from deployment. A study of 1,007 Dutch soldiers has found that PTS symptoms among Afghanistan veterans spiked in the six months immediately after their return and resurfaced with greater severity five years later.
While PTS symptoms increased the most during the first six months after the service members returned home, they tended to subside after a year. However, researchers were most surprised by the prominence of PTS and severity of symptoms five years after the veterans’ return.
One possible explanation they offered for PTS re-emerging after a long time was that many service members rely on the support of a military group in the early stages to cope with traumatic events. However, such bonding with former peers tends to decrease with time, leading to a delayed stress reaction.
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, 11 to 20 percent of Iraq veterans in the United States suffer PTS symptoms each year. These symptoms can include nightmares, flashbacks, nervousness, fear, guilt, depression and difficulty concentrating.
Lead study author Iris Eekhout of VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam said there is a lack of research into the long-term mental health effects that veterans experience. The findings suggest screening for PTS symptoms should continue for more than just a year after veterans return home. Doing so would ensure the condition does not go undiagnosed as new or recurrent cases could emerge.
Eekhout emphasized that it is crucial for veterans to have easy access to mental health care. “It is important to monitor their psychological health for a long time after deployment, because early detection of symptoms is essential to early treatment, which is related to positive outcome,” Eekhout said. The findings were published in the journal The Lancet Psychiatry.

Is There Still a Seniors Movement?
Remember Sen. Claude Pepper (D-FL) and his grassroots machine of the 1970's and 80's? Sen. Pepper led the fight for any and all issues affecting our aging population. He was the champion of the elderly in a political career spanning over 60 years.
He was vocal. He was insistent. He was effective.
So fast forward to today. Social Security is going broke. The cost of living adjustments to Social Security seem to be a thing of the past. Retirement funds are being pinched and in some cases elminated. Yet, we hear no groundswell of outcry. Instead we are inundated with yet another prescription drug designed to offset the affects of aging. Where is Sen.Pepper when you need him?
Both major political parties do their fair share of finger pointing and passing out blame but who is leading the charge for the rights of older Americans?
We are living longer and healthier lives. Do we need to retire at 62? 65? 75? Issues like extending the retirement age for working people and the protection of pension plans seem to be just as hot now as they were back in Mr. Pepper's days.
So while I'm thinking of a good old fashioned grassroots movement - one filled with all the hot topics like social security, pensions, affordable housing and more. The time seems right to get some action going and make the ever increasing numbers of baby boomers' voices heard.
We're headed into the final stretch of the 2012 election and is there a leader for today's grey panthers?

Ancillary spaces are becoming more and more common within the modern work environment. With offices becoming more flexible, open, and mobile, ancillary spaces provide a comfortable and collaborative option for a change of scenery. The problem is that ancillary spaces can be more stylish than functional, creating ergonomic issues for employees and hindering productivity. Here we present ergonomic solutions to some of the most common issues seen in the design of ancillary spaces, and provide specific questions you can ask yourself to ensure your ancillary spaces are as functional as possible.
SIMPLE, ERGONOMIC SOLUTIONS TO COMMON ISSUES
Offer places to plug in
Problem: Laptops or other devices need to be charged. Without a proper solution, users are left looking for a place to plug in, often putting themselves in uncomfortable positions while waiting for a charge.
Solution: Make sure power options are available at convenient locations and offer adjustable work surfaces for different types of work, such as computer or paper-based work.
Seat and table heights matter
Problem: Lounge seating has a tendency to be paired with tables that are too high to work comfortably.
Solution: With the average table surface being 29″ high, a seat height of 18″ is ideal for user comfort, while lower seat heights require lower table heights. A good point of reference is to aim for a 10-12″ difference between the seat and table.
Lagunitas tables are perfect for ancillary spaces, as they are designed to complement lower lounge seating. In addition, Lagunitas lounge chairs have an adjustable back cushion that flips as desired to provide lumbar support.
In-between spaces can support productivity
Problem: Smaller work spaces are often sparsely outfitted and fail to support productive work, forcing the user to cram themselves into a space.
Solution: It is important to make sure to utilize every inch of available space, inviting employees with personal worksurfaces both for laptops and personal items, as well as accessories such as foot rests and stools.
The Bivi Trunk is a multi-functional and convenient side table that provides storage space throughout.
Not all spaces are meant to be meeting spaces
Problem: Ancillary spaces often look inviting, but don’t always support individual work or privacy.
Solution: Remember to support posture, power, and personal devices when designing ancillary spaces. Through careful planning, style and productivity can coexist.
Brody workstations offer an all-in-one ancillary solution when power, comfort, and storage are required. In addition, the personal worklounge offers privacy and plenty of personal storage.
The office is not the home
Problem: Drawing inspiration from residential spaces is important, but don’t forget the office and the home are inherently different spaces. For instance, coffee tables should be used for coffee, not for work surfaces. When used as work surfaces, the user is forced to hunch over the table, resulting in poor posture.
Solution: Coffee tables should be used as intended – as coffee tables. Be sure not to replace workstations with coffee tables, as they should be placed primarily between lounge areas or soft seating.
The CH008 Sofa Table is a simple solution either as a centerpiece between lounge areas or alongside tables and chairs.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR PLANNING ANCILLARY SPACES
Below we outline some helpful questions that can be used as a guide when planning out your ancillary designs. These questions should help determine if your ancillary spaces are as high performing as possible.
Ensure your ancillary spaces support productive work:
- Is there a surface large enough for a laptop to be comfortably placed?
- If a keyboard is needed, is there an option for it to be easily and comfortably reached?
- Could the space support more than one worker?
- Is there an element of privacy if needed?
Provide enough table space and alternate storage options:
- Is there a convenient place for a bag, where one will not have to reach or twist their body?
- Is there an appropriate area for items such as extra materials, supplies, or beverages?
Support healthy postures:
- Does the seating height align with the table height to allow proper and comfortable posture?
- Can the screen be viewed without straining one’s neck?
- Is the employee in a position that is actually comfortable to work once seated?
Offer convenient power access for multiple devices:
- Is there a power outlet within reach?
- Are there any cords that pose a tripping hazard?

Kraus told the Delmarva Times “It is an honor, definitely, to play in the league, especially with the talent there is. I mean, there is only eight teams, so there are good lacrosse players and not a bunch of places for everyone to go, so I am definitely honored and very excited about it.”

The Artist's Spider-Man: The Moody Atmosphere of Mike Zeck
Like many other superheroes, the 1980s were the decade when Spider-Man went dark. In Spidey's case, it was a literal shift into darkness, as the new black costume, which Peter Parker got in 1984's Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #8, by Jim Shooter and Mike Zeck, signaled a tone change in a character known for bright colors, soap opera drama and clever quips. Zeck is among the artists spotlighted in this series who drew the fewest total Spider-Man comics, yet his work on the definitive dark 1980s story, "Kraven's Last Hunt," marks him as Spider-Man artist of note. Much of the imagery from that story shaped Spider-Man stories for much of the next three decades.

New research suggests that the protective effects of aspirin on the heart and arteries are mainly experienced by men.
Daily aspirin has become a standard treatment for warding off heart attacks but scientists have long puzzled over the way the drug's benefits vary so widely between clinical trials.
Some trials show no difference between aspirin and a "dummy" placebo, while others suggest that aspirin reduces the risk of a heart attack by 50%.
In the new study, doctors examined the results of 23 previously published clinical trials involving more than 113,000 patients. They then analysed how much the ratio of men to women patients affected the trial outcomes.
Dr Don Sin, a member of the team from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, said: "Trials that recruited predominantly men demonstrated the largest risk reduction in non-fatal heart attacks. The trials that contained predominantly women failed to demonstrate a significant risk reduction in these non-fatal events.
"We found that a lot of the variability in these trials seems to be due to the gender ratios, supporting the theory that women may be less responsive to aspirin than men for heart protection."
Recent studies have shown that men and women have major differences in the structure and physiology of the heart's blood vessels. The authors believe these factors may be responsible for the greater protection men get from aspirin.
"From our findings we would caution clinicians on the prescribing of aspirin to women, especially for primary prevention of heart attacks," said Dr Sin. "Whether or not other pharmaceutical products would be more effective for women is unclear; more sex-specific studies should now be conducted."Reuse content

Jones brought his bulky photography equipment with him on most expeditions in order to document the plants and landscapes he encountered as he traveled. Hundreds of his slides, accumulated over nearly fifty years of exploration, remain at RSABG and present a collection of considerable historic and artistic significance. His photographs capture the stunning landscapes of the largely undeveloped West around the turn of the 20th century. Some of his slides could help provide some geographic reference for the specific localities where he collected, while others provide an interesting historical reference for cities that have since been developed beyond recognition.
Searchlight, Nevada, 1907
Until recently, Jones' photographic collection lay stored in dusty boxes in the Garden’s basement. With a renewed focus on the archival holdings at RSABG and the recent acquisition of digital-scanning equipment (thanks to The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation), RSABG hopes to make many of Jones’ images available digitally in order to present his photographic collection to the public.

A woman is stoned in Afghanistan for committing adultery.
© 2024 Blaze Media LLC. All rights reserved.
"...stoning is in the Koran, and that it is Islamic law."
Shocking and disturbing video has surfaced of a Taliban-controlled village in Afghanistan stoning a man and woman for allegedly eloping while the man was still married.
According to ABC News, "about 200 people listen to a Taliban mullah describe why a man and woman deserve to be killed. A few dozen spectators -- people from the local community -- start throwing rocks at the woman, who had already been placed in a 4-foot-deep hole. They throw with relish and yell, 'Allah akbar.'"
When the stones don't kill her, a man picks up an AK-47 rifle and shoots the woman. The same sequence occurs with the man, who is blindfolded with his own tunic and cries as he is killed by even larger rocks:
[WARNING: Although edited, the video may be disturbing to some]
"When a married woman commits adultery, she will be struck by stones -- this is called sangsar in Arabic," the Taliban mullah says before the murders, according to ABC. "The women you see here today committed adultery with this man. She has admitted this herself not once, but many times… Islamic law will be enforced here in Kunduz, by the grace of God. They will both be punished, these two people."
London's Daily Mail reports the stonings happened last August in the district of Dashte Archi, in Kunduz. It says the woman, a 19-year old named Siddqa, fled an arranged marriage where she was sold to a man for $9,000 against her will. She ran away to be with another man, a 25-year-old named Khayyam, who was already married and had two children. The pair eloped to Pakistan.
After running away, the couple was told they would not be harmed if they returned. That was a lie:

Disgustingly, a Taliban spokesman defended the stonings to the BBC. "Anyone who knows about Islam knows that stoning is in the Koran, and that it is Islamic law," Zabiullah Mujahid said.
But Fauzia Kofi, a female member of parliament from northern Afghanistan, told ABC News the Taliban is misunderstanding the Koran.
"That understanding of Islam that Taliban has is a … lack of the proper understanding of Islam and Islamic values," Kofi said. "The Islam that I represent actually saved women from being buried alive 1,400 years back. I don't know what kind of Islam they represent, that they can kill so easily."
Still, the Taliban's view of Islam is echoed in other parts of the Muslim world. For example, the ongoing saga of Iranian Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani continues to worry some, after she was sentenced to death by stoning for allegedly cheating on and murdering her husband. That sentence was later stayed, but she could still face the death penalty.
And just last week, the International Committee Against Stoning reported two gay Iranian men faced the same sentence for engaging in homosexual acts.
As many readers have pointed out, an Iraqi immigrant is currently on trial in Arizona for an alleged "honor killing." Prosecutors say Faleh Hassan Almalek ran over his daughter, Noor, with his car because she was becoming "too westernized."
In Britain, the Muslim brother of 22-year-old Harry Potter actress Afshan Azad was jailed after he pleaded guilty to beating the young woman for dating a Hindu man.

New Release: Blanc de Blancs 2016
Quietly acknowledged as a strong vintage year for English Sparkling Wine, 2016 will be remembered for its warm, sun-filled summer and autumn days. Ideal conditions for producing fruit of outstanding quality at Gusbourne’s vineyards in Kent and West Sussex.
Why We Blind Taste Our Base Wines
A lot happens to a Gusbourne wine in its journey from harvest to bottle. One important stage is putting our base wines to the test. Each year our winemaking team blind tastes and meticulously analyses every wine before deciding the carefully crafted blends that each of our labels will carry. It’s a fascinating process that takes skill, experience and the ability to imagine a wine’s potential in every vintage year.
Bottling the Bubbles
Some elements of winemaking are widely recognisable. Everyone knows what pruning and harvest look like, photos abound. But once the grapes have been pressed in the winery and the young wine stored to mature, what happens next? When is it transferred to bottle? How do we know the optimum moment for release? Here we reveal the less public part of the winemaker's art.

For 3D printing, almost any existing product sector could be disrupted, almost anyone can become involved, and almost any potential set of outcome scenarios may emerge, though confined to limiting variables that we will look at shortly.
It took the 3D printing industry 20 years to reach $1 billion in size. In five additional years, the industry generated its second $1 billion. It is expected to double again, to $4 billion, in 2015. This exponential growth rate is forecast to continue until at least 2025 by which time the industry will have reached up to $600 billion.

Pimp My Rhodes
Pressing different combinations of buttons unlocks th' secrets of Love.
Yeah, I wanted to do a blog on th' Great Rhodes Refurbishing of '06 but I of course wanted to Lightfootize it in some manner or another so I wouldn't just be another polesmoking consumer buttfuck all worked up about some piece of fucking metal and wood like every other pissant Crap obsessed dickweed I'm forced to share th' Road Of Life With. with.
I'm thinking I'll take a bigass cucumber and shove it down some tight jeans and have my crotch in every shot, Spinal Tap style. See, that'd be funny but, well, it would be coals to Newcastle if you get m'druft. Girlish titter.
So phuck it- I'm just going to have to suck it up and realize that I'm just another cheesy middle-aged putz in his little shed licking his finger and rubbing on some piece of consumer bullshit to wipe away an unsightly moist spot that I created in a fit of Consumer Moneyshotting. Just a fruitnut, y'know? Just like any other douchebag with a "honk again I'm reloading" bumpersticker in th' geerage under th' hood of my 73 Corvette. Tre middle class, daddy.
Difference is I've done lots, lots lots more drugs.
You have to admit it looks pretty hot, though. When I climb onto them boards and get behind this little betty ain't nobody gonna think I'm stopping off on the way to a bowling game, man. It was quite a job and a bit more expensive than I would have liked, and it'll just get torn to shit in like three days but that's life. Then I can redo it in orange or lime-green or some shit. Or snake skin.
Th' wood case was pretty well pocked from twenty-seven years on this planet so there was plenty of sanding and applications of wood filler and all that. Lori sprang for the not-inexpensive new black hardware for my early birthday and I got a new front logo which sparkles like, well, like a new piece of '73 Corvette trim.
Wouldn't you know I also made a matching padded dolly that th' thing rests and rolls in. So maybe it won't get all fucked up for like a week. My little deuce coupe.
Jesus added to show scale.
First thing I wonder when I see a Rhodes set up with th' lid on: how many pounds of weed have been cleaned on this surface since 1974?
Stop jacking off and play a song on me.
The lid must also be covered in- and out. The top part is a latched compartment for the legs and all that.
Cherry Twizzler Red, I call it.
Sal Th' Feist sez just wait 'til I add a fragrant coiler.

All Over Print Shirt
Rose Quartz Turbulenceby Alaskan Momma Bear
These premium quality all over print shirts feature original art from seam to seam. The cotton-soft 100% polyester wicks moisture and maintains a rich color throughout. All over print tees are unisex fit, so women should make size selections accordingly and order a minimum of one size smaller. Please Note: Every shirt is uniquely produced using a sublimation process that can create anomalies in some areas, typically under the arm, that leaves small portions of fabric white.
ABOUT THE ART
My New Year's Eve, 2015 photograph of Flat Top Mountain with storm clouds and high gusts of wind. If you look closely, you can see the wind lifting the snow off the side of the mountain. I digitally adjusted the sky color to take on pink tones.
windy, cloudy, mountain, wilderness, snow, Alaska, USA, wanderlust, evergreen, spruce, birch, trees,


The engine and body are overhauled and the vehicle is in a remarkable condition. Even if there are currently no classic car trips and rallies, with a 99 you are certain of the starting place. And even if it is much too good for it: it would also be absolutely suitable for the daily driver.
We have carefully and optically refurbished the vehicle over the past two years. The current owner has spared no expense and effort and has made targeted and sustainable investments in the vehicle. That pays off: there is no maintenance backlog, no necessary repairs have been put on the back burner. We always paid attention to quality.
This Saab 99 is unique - we dare to say that without hesitation. A piece of automotive history - with a TRIUMPH engine. Untinkered, cleverly restored, absolutely true to series.
Of course, it has an H mark. The color: Tyrol green is quite rare.
The Saab 99 was designed by Sixten Sason and rolled off the assembly line from 1968 to 1987 (as Saab 90). In addition to the two-door variant (as here), there was also a four-door. Due to its stable construction, it received homologation for motorsport WITHOUT the need for a roll bar. Not many vehicles can say that.
Would you like to visit this extraordinary icon of automotive history? No problem, you are very welcome.

Guide to Windsurfing in Cabarete
Our mini guide to the spot, history, centers and right of way rules.
For over 30 years, Cabarete has offered the perfect playground to watersports fanatics from all corners of the globe. So much so that it has been named as one of the top wind sports destinations in the world. Let’s kick start this guide off with a trip down memory lane to where it all began with windsurfing in Cabarete.
- A Brief History Lesson
- Cabarete Windsurf Spot Guide
- Right Of Way Rules For Windsurfing
- Windsurf Centres and Schools in Cabarete
A Brief History Lesson
If you’ve visited Cabarete before, then you’ve probably heard this story. If not, then let us fill you in on where it all began. Around the 1980’s, Hawaii was the place to be for windsurfing. It’s where everyone went to train, compete and socialise. Canadian windsurfer, Jean Laporte, quickly became tired of the lengthy and expensive flights so began to scope out closer training grounds. After putting his trust in his travel agent, he was on his flight to the Dominican Republic. Jean was quickly disappointed with his findings on the south side of the island, but after discussing the wind direction with local fisherman, he realised the north coast was the best bet. After scouring the north coast, Jean and his travel partner were enjoying a cold one with the locals when they noticed the wind and waves starting to pick up. The midday trade winds were filling in. They hopped in the car, drove around the corner and there it was … Cabarete Bay.
From that moment on, this little fishing town transformed into a watersports mecca and has since welcomed top athletes. In addition, Cabarete has hosted prestigious windsurfing and kitesurfing competitions like the Windsurf World Tour, Master of the Ocean and the Cabarete Classic!
Cabarete Windsurf Spot Guide
Windsurfing Conditions in Cabarete
- Wind – The wind mainly blows from the east meaning its cross-onshore. This means it’s always easy to get back to the beach.
- Water – The reef is located roughly 600m offshore and offers fun peeling waves for wave riding. On the inside, the water is flatter offering perfect conditions for freestyle, slalom and just cruising. With stronger winds and larger swells, it does get choppier on the inside.
- Shorebreak – For the most part, especially in summer, there is little to no shorebreak in Cabarete Bay making it easy to get in and out. Especially with the gently sloping sandy beach in front of our condos, so you won’t need water shoes. However, it’s important to note in winter with large swells and strong winds, the shorebreak can become larger. Up in the corner of the bay is slightly more sheltered from this which makes it a better entry and exit point during these times.
- Weather – Year round we are blessed with an average of 28°C and our water temperature following close behind at 26°C. So you can leave the thick neoprene at home. We just recommend using sun protective clothing whilst on the water and if you feel the cold, pack a 2mm neoprene shorty or top for sunrise and sunset!
- Tides – Cabarete Bay is not particularly tidal but you can notice slight differences at high and low. At low, particularly on a spring tide, the water is slightly flatter, whereas at high it can be much choppier.
- Seasons – As we previously mentioned, summer is the windiest season. We still have wind in the winter but it is not as strong. You can see our when is it windy in Cabarete article for the breakdown of wind during each month.
Obstacles While Windsurfing in Cabarete
It’s not particularly tidal meaning less current, no predators, and a vast amount of space! We have no big obstacles here, we just recommend paying attention to the reef at low tide as sometimes areas can become exposed. The only other obstacles are other water users. As an increasingly popular wind sports location, it’s important to be aware of other windsurfers, kitesurfers, sailors, kayakers, SUPers, and swimmers in the water. Fortunately, there is a set of right of way rules that take care of this problem!
Right Of Way Rules For Windsurfing
Overtaking Sailor Needs to Give Way
As the sailor in front is rightfully looking where he/she is going, the person overtaking needs to avoid a collision by giving way and space to them.
When two windsurfers are heading towards each other, the one with the left hand closer to the mast must most out of the way and the person with the right hand nearer the mast can stay on their course.
As the downwind sailor cannot see the windsurfer upwind, he/she holds the right of way. If they decide to change course and bear upwind, the upwind windsurfer must change course.
Aside from these rules, it is everyone’s job on the water to avoid a collision. Always be conscious of people around you and be aware that they might not know the rules.

Windsurf Centres and Schools in Cabarete
All of the windsurfing action takes place right in our backyard and conveniently all the schools and centres are located within a 5 minutes walk of our condos. Right next door to us at Villa Taina Hotel is the Cabarete Windsports Club, then midway through town is Vela Cabarete, and at the far end is Ion Club. Each offer lessons, coaching and rentals. With the combination of ideal and safe conditions, Cabarete is the perfect place to learn and improve.

Detection and thermal description of medicanes from numerical simulation
- 1Agencia Estatal de Meteorología, Palma de Mallorca, Spain
- 2Universitat de les Illes Balears, Palma de Mallorca, Spain
- 3Formerly at Agencia Estatal de Meteorología, Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Abstract. Tropical-like cyclones rarely affect the Mediterranean region but they can produce strong winds and heavy precipitations. These warm-core cyclones, called MEDICANES (MEDIterranean hurriCANES), are small in size, develop over the sea and are infrequent. For these reasons, the detection and forecast of medicanes are a difficult task and many efforts have been devoted to identify them.
The goals of this work are to contribute to a proper description of these structures and to develop some criteria to identify medicanes from numerical weather prediction (NWP) model outputs. To do that, existing methodologies for detecting, characterizating and tracking cyclones have been adapted to small-scale intense cyclonic perturbations. First, a mesocyclone detection and tracking algorithm has been modified to select intense cyclones. Next, the parameters that define the Hart's cyclone phase diagram are tuned and calculated to examine their thermal structure.
Four well-known medicane events have been described from numerical simulation outputs of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) model. The predicted cyclones and their evolution have been validated against available observational data and numerical analyses from the literature.
