What happened to Vhong Navarro broke Bunevacz’ silence being the former business partner of Cedric Lee. Because of what happened to Vhong, Bunevacz recalled all the pain that he experienced being with Cedric almost seven years ago. According to him, what happened between him and Cedric forced his family to leave the country and go abroad. And it has to do with safety.

He said that he also experienced what Vhong experienced being physically violated, terrorized and threatened to death. When they decided to leave the country, it was a relief for him and his entire family. As if the rug was pulled under their feet.

David Bunevacz Breaks Silence on Mauling Case of Vhong Navarro

Jessica Rodriguez, Bunevacz’s wife recalled in an affidavit executed in Los Angeles, California about her husband’s being badly beaten by Cedric Lee and other members. This was their primary reason of leaving the country as reported on Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP).

Cedric Lee and his group denied the allegations before the NBI and in fact, Bunevacz and Rodriguez were charged of estafa because of misuse of the funds of their clinic. Despite what happened, they have forgiven Lee and his members and that was the time when they felt relief.

David Bunevacz is brave enough to share the stories of what happened between him and Lee because of the actions that Navarro has taken. Because of this, there are appreciations coming from netizens and people of the country looking forward to justice that will prevail. Be updated on this case in our future post here.

centrotherm photovoltaics AG to go public

centrotherm photovoltaics AG announces its intention to proceed with an initial public offering. Subject to a favorable capital markets environment, the Company intends to go public this autumn. The Company will seek a listing in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The major part of the offering will come from a capital increase and subsequent issue of new shares. Citi is acting as sole coordinator and bookrunner for the offering with Commerzbank and Landesbank Baden-Württemberg acting as co-lead managers.

"We plan to finance centrotherm photovoltaics’ further growth from IPO proceeds; in particular we intend to expand our research and development activities, ensure access to complementary technologies, and develop and expand our service and sales organisation in Asia and the US", explains Board of Directors spokesman Robert M. Hartung. He continues, "The focus of our business strategy is to reduce production costs in the photovoltaic industry, measured in €/Wp. We see centrotherm photovoltaics as a driving force and "enabler" for the entire sector. Our goal is to achieve a sustainable improvement in the competitive position of photovoltaic systems compared with fossil energy sources, but also with other renewable energy sources."

As an internationally active provider of technology and services for manufacturers of solar cells and solar silicon, centrotherm photovoltaics’ business activities focus on the key stages of the photovoltaics value chain.

In its Solar Cells business segment, centrotherm photovoltaics supplies turnkey production lines and key equipment such as PECVD systems, diffusion furnaces and fast-firing furnaces. The company offers technical support from the planning stage to the delivery and ramp-up of turnkey production lines. In addition, the company provides customer service and consulting following the installation and ramp-up. centrotherm photovoltaics is continuously working to further improve production facilities and processes, in order to achieve higher solar cell efficiency, yield and throughput with the objective to make solar cell production even more cost effective.

Global demand for silicon from the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries is high and production capacities are currently below demand. In the Solar Silicon division, centrotherm photovoltaics offers engineering and process technology services and provides key equipment for the production of solar silicon, in particular "Siemens" reactors and converters. The Company supports its customers during planning, engineering and during ramp-up of production equipment.

"With over 25 years’ experience in the solar industry and the high number of solar cell turnkey production lines we have installed both in Germany and abroad, we hold technological expertise in the key steps of the photovoltaics value chain – solar cells and silicon," says Robert M. Hartung. "Therefore, we are in the position to offer our customers tailored services and comprehensive guarantees regarding specific performance parameters such as production capacity, cell efficiency and delivery times."

In the financial year 2006, centrotherm photovoltaics reported pro forma revenues* of €108.5 million and achieved a pro forma EBIT* of €11.3 million. The Company, which is headquartered in Blaubeuren near Ulm in Southern Germany, currently employs more than 100 employees. International customers include renowned companies from the solar industry such as the German companies Q-Cells, ErSol and Sunways, as well as market newcomers in Europe, Asia and the US.

October 2015 Newsletter

Dear Clients,

I heard someone once say that he loved to travel, but hated traveling.

He was, of course, talking about all the hassles involved in getting to his destination: the crowded airports, the heavy luggage, the inevitable delays.

In fact, traveling can be so stressful that some people prefer to stay home.

The same can be true for people thinking of buying a new home. You may want to make a move — but the thought of selling, buying, and moving holds you back.

That’s where I can make a difference. If you, or someone you know is considering a new home, I can help develop a plan that will make the whole process run smoothly and easily.

Please contact me for more details.

How To Be A Smart Home Viewer
article 1 image

Viewing new homes on the market can be a very exciting and a fast-paced experience — especially if you’re also selling your current property. You see a home you like, you fall in love with some of its key features and, before you know it, you’re making an offer. But, if you haven’t taken the time to consider some of the details, you may wind up discovering that upon closer inspection, the home doesn’t truly meet your needs.

That’s a recipe for disaster.

Of course, you have to act quickly when you find a property that matches your criteria. You just need to make sure that the home really is a good fit, and that you’re not being swayed by first impressions.

When you’re viewing a potential new home, or checking out a property during a weekend “open house”, what should you look for beyond the obvious? Here are some suggestions:

  • Will the property require a lot of immediate repairs and upgrades?
  • Is it in a neighbourhood that supports your family’s needs and activities. (Consider commuting time to work, playgrounds for the kids, local shopping, etc.)
  • Is the yard big enough?
  • Is the driveway and garage space okay for all your vehicles?
  • Will your furniture and other items fit the space?
  • Are there enough bedrooms, bathrooms, closets and storage space? (Think about your current AND future needs.)

Avoid the temptation to focus on only the major features of a home, such as the large kitchen. Get down to the nitty-gritty details. After all, it’s a major purchase. You want to get it right!

Need more tips on finding a home that has everything you need and want? Call today.

Prepare For Window Shoppers
article 2 image

Retailers know that if they dress up their window displays and other outside features to make them look as attractive and enticing as possible, they bring in more shoppers. Of course, having more shoppers means more potential sales.

The same holds true when selling your home.

The more appealing your property looks from the outside – from the sidewalk right up to your windows – the more likely buyers are to become interested in your home and want to schedule a viewing.

That doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune on new landscaping and window dressings. In fact, there are many simple, low-cost things you can do to make your property look significantly more inviting to home shoppers.

  • Mow the lawn.
  • Trim the hedges.
  • Plant some flowers. Place potted plants near the entrance way.
  • Make sure the walkway is clear and swept clean.
  • Paint the front entrance door. (If needed.)
  • Clean the windows, inside and out.
  • Make sure window coverings, and all other items that can been seen from the street, look great.

Make your property look better from the outside, and more buyers will say, “Yes, I want to view that home!”

Healthy Lighting For Your Home
article 3 image

Recently, researchers have discovered that lighting in the home has a much greater impact on health and well-being than originally thought. Better lighting can boost your energy, help you sleep better, and even enhance healing.

So it pays to make sure the lighting in your home is healthy.

Start by enhancing sources of natural light, such as windows and sunroofs. Study each room of your home and replace as much of the artificial light as possible with sunlight. For example, reposition a favourite reading chair next to a window.

Consider dimming the lighting in your home during the evenings. If your home is very bright when it’s dark outside, it can affect your body’s natural rhythms, resulting in disturbed sleep.

Avoid over-lighting, which is common in rooms where there are few windows. Over time, excessive light can cause headaches and even mood changes. Lighting that is sufficient to see everything clearly is all you need.

Trying to Catch Up! Newest listing and other news

After a month away to Thailand/Cambodia/Florida there is much to catch up...including blogging! I have been doing better on my other blogging website but am working to get the Century 21 Blog up to date as well.

I just listed a lovely 2+1 bedroom 810 square foot home in Pacific Heights. This house for sale in Saskatoon received an offer on it the first day and we have another offer on it as of today. The first offer came with a 'option clause' as they have a condo to sell in Saskatoon, but if they cannot remove conditions and complete the sale of the condo in Saskatoon in Silversprings the offer will default to the second potential buyer.

It is getting to be harder for buyers to purchase houses or condos for sale in Saskatoon with inventory levels going down and the government talking about increasing interest rates and making things more difficult for home buyers in Saskatoon (and all of Canada) in general.

This is just another reason why it is important to use a buyer's agent in Saskatoon when you are looking to buy a house for sale in Saskatoon. It is also important to use an active real estate agent in Saskatoon as there are many who don't do a lot of business so they aren't necessarily up on what is happening that particular day in the Saskatoon real estate market.

I am a very active realtor(r) in Saskatoon and sell, on average, one house every 5 days (stats based on past 2 years of sales data). Let me know if I can help you buy a house for sale in Saskatoon (or a condo for sale in Saskatoon or any property in the surrounding areas).

If you are looking to sell your house in Saskatoon I would love to talk to you about it. It is easy to fall into the 'saving commission' state of mind and try to sell your house privately in Saskatoon, but generally you are giving that same commission away with lack of current market knowledge AND doing all the work yourself, doesn't make sense!

Bournemouth edges close to Fibrecity broadband status

    Bournemouth edges close to Fibrecity broadband status

    Work to install fibre optic broadband services across Bournemouth is progressing on track, it has been revealed.

    Efforts to install fibre optic broadband services in Bournemouth are on track to be completed at the start of next year, according to reports.

    Full Story: Here

    Thanks to Alex399 for the link

    1. greenbrucelee
      Unless all the smackheads steal the cables and sell them in cash converters for a fix :D

      Hopefully they will get their arses in gear and role it out everywhere soon.
    2. Alex399
      there putting the cables in the sewers with very waterproof casing on the wires

      By the end of 2011 the whole of Bournemouth will have 100 Mbs Fibre Optic Broadband :D

      Lucky for those of us in the Bournemouth area like me and Kev :twisted:
    3. greenbrucelee
      smackhead can be very resourceful when they are rattling :D and they'll walk through **** if needs be.
    4. GiddyG
      I wonder how much it will cost the end user though. And I wonder what difference the end user will actually see, if they merely read emails and surf the interweb.

      Not saying that it shouldn't be done... I just wonder if it needs to go hand in glove with 'user guidance' on how to make best use of it. I always feel this sort of thing is like putting a laptop (or BlackBerry) in front of someone and telling them to get on with it. It becomes a wasted expense/opportunity.
    5. Alex399
      Those smack heads aren't strong enough to pull those drain covers off :p all that smack has made them weak

      They don't stand a chance :D Unless they enter through the Sewage plants :dry

      But then again its too far for the smack heads to walk they would pass out way before they get there... :biggrin

      Sounds Smackhead Proof to me 8)
    6. westernkings
      I was actually reading about the FTTP/H and FTTC infrastructures in the UK today. With BT apparently dishing out 100Mb/s already (after putting my house address in the UK into the BT, I still can't get above 6Mb with BT ... Despite the fact they say they have rolled it out in the area) and Virgin Media about to Roll Out 100Mb/s and trailing 200Mb/s it makes me wonder how these small firms can get it done that quickly and why VM cannot extend their fibre network to the house?? it makes no sense.

      My cabinet was literally 3 doors away from mine, so why could Virgin not charge me whatever the price is to put a fibre cable the extra 7 metres for me to get full on FTTP/H?
    7. beaumontdvd
      Mate do the cable yourself :D they wouldn't know a thing ;)

      Small Firms :eek: Well maybe Virgin Media isn't huge but BT none the less is not a small firm by any means, companys like Virgin Media could be small but its hard to say, at the end of the day all Virgin Media is doing putting there own equipment in the telephone exchange, BT are the Big boys and always will be, as far as I'm aware they are the ones who own and operate all these telephone exchanges.

      They also have to let these small internet companies rent there (BT) lines and the room in there telephone exchange for a fraction of the price to what a standard customer would pay as part of a Monopoly Legislation just so they can even stand a chance of even becoming a noticeable competitor and having there reasonable share of the market.

      The way I see how you can look at what your connection well be like in detail is;

      Contention Ratio vs Equipment (Routers) they use in the exchange

      Ive even heard of BT capping your speed should you be using another Internet provider but still using there lines so to speak.. even though you would be paying through Sky perhaps.
      BT's way of saying "if you don't want to switch to us we will make your life difficult :twisted:"
      I have no idea how you would go about finding out what kind of equipment they use specifically for your connection... that one might be hard to find out.
    9. derkit
      What I'd like to know is - what are people going to do with this extra speed? How is it going to make a difference from 50Mb/s to 100Mb/s?
    10. fibreforum
      Hi guys, I have the speed of fibre to the home in Bournemouth and you're right there isn't too much you can do with it at the moment. Yes, you can download quickly from iplayer desktop and you can get music in an instant, I wouldn't say any of that is groundbreaking though. The latency is the best thing about this by a long way. If you use VOIP (I use it a lot) that is much clearer, I can also download/upload a load at the sametime and it doesn't suffer. I can also use laptops and desktops heavily around the house without any real effect. That is the winner for me, I'm sure the killer apps will come that mean you need 25 or 100Mbps download speed, but not yet.

Target investors approve board declassification

MINNEAPOLIS Target announced that its shareholders approved a proposal to declassify its board of directors. As a result, all candidates elected to the board will now stand for one-year terms. The new rules apply for directors elected at Target’s 2010 annual meeting of shareholders and will be fully implemented for the 2011 annual meeting.

In addition, shareholders approved all other board proposals presented at this year’s annual meeting.

“We’re pleased that our shareholders have supported all of our board’s recommendations, including the proposal to declassify,” said Gregg Steinhafel, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Target. “This vote underscores the value of our ongoing efforts to engage with shareholders and demonstrates our long-standing commitment to strong corporate governance.”

Potential Molotov cocktail found near school

Police: No sign of fire, explosion

Published On: Apr 25 2013 02:16:12 PM CDT   Updated On: Apr 26 2013 09:00:45 AM CDT
Lowell Elementary School

What appeared to be an unlit Molotov cocktail was found near Lowell Elementary School in Madison Thursday, according to police.

Police were called to the school at 401 Maple Ave. at 10:23 a.m. after a broken bottle was found on the playground. Police said the inside of the bottle smelled like combustibles and there was a sock in the top of the bottle. It's believed the bottle ended up on the playground overnight.

Police said there were no signs of fire or an explosion. There have also been no threats to students or school staff.

Lovie Smith isn't going to get caught up in any outside discussions about his job security with the Bears scuffling along and in danger of missing the playoffs after a 7-1 start.

Chicago's coach said his only focus is on trying to get a wild-card spot by beating Arizona this weekend and then winning the regular-season finale at Detroit.

After losing 21-13 to the rival Packers on Sunday, the Bears have to win two road games to finish 10-6 and have a chance for the last NFC playoff berth. There are scenarios where they could get in at 9-7, but they involve numerous tiebreakers.

There has been plenty of speculation that Smith and his staff could lose their jobs if the Bears don't make the postseason.

Tsukune Grilled Chicken

Tsukune Chicken on grill
Share on FacebookTweet about this on TwitterShare on Google+Share on LinkedInShare on StumbleUponPin on Pinterest

This is a great way to lighten up a meal after a long winter of heavy comfort foods.

Japanese Tsukune is basically a chicken and sausage mixture that can be formed into meatballs, logs, or used as filling, and then simmered, steamed, fried or grilled. There are many wonderful ways to prepare Tsukune – my favorite way happens to be grilled!

Tsukune ingredients

Tsukune Chicken Mixture with Asparagus Skewers

Tsukune Chicken Skewers on Char-Broil Tru-Infrared 2 Burner Commercial Gas Grill

Tsukune Grilled Chicken with Asparagus Skewer

Tsukune chicken can be served as a main course, but it also makes a great appetizer. By the time I finish grilling a batch, guests have usually grabbed at least one or two for taste tests, so half of my tsukune never makes it to the kitchen!

Tsukune is pretty tasty whether you serve it on a skewer or just make patties for the grill. It’s easy to make in advance and grill up in just a few minutes. I plan on making them a lot this summer for a quick snack while sitting around the patio with friends.

Hope you give them a try!

Tsukune Chicken

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Yield: 12 Tsukune

Serving Size: 2 to 3 per person

Calories per serving: -

Fat per serving: -

Grilled Tsukune Chicken Skewers make a quick "hot off the grill" summer appetizer. Make plenty...they go fast!

  • 2 pounds ground chicken (if grinding your own, use both white and dark meat for extra flavor)
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (can use more if needed)
  • Oil
  • Salt
  • 12 fresh asparagus spears, washed and trimmed

  1. Beat eggs in a large bowl.
  2. Add all ingredients except oil, salt and asparagus.
  3. Blend mixture well and chill for 15 minutes.
  4. Heat one burner on grill to medium high heat.
  5. Wrap ½ cup of chicken mixture around stalk of each asparagus spear. (If you’re using wooden or metal skewers, use flat kind.)
  6. Press tsukune slightly to flatten to about 1 ¼ to 1 ½ inches thick.
  7. Brush tsukune skewers with oil and season with salt.
  8. Brush hot grill with oil.
  9. Place tsukune on hot grill, leaving asparagus on unlit burner.
  10. Grill tsukune 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Use a spatula to carefully turn the skewers over for even cooking.

Keep tsukune skewers chilled until ready to grill.

Tsukune Dipping Sauce

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Yield: -

Serving Size: about two servings

Calories per serving: -

Fat per serving: -

A great sauce to go along with Tsukune.

  • ¼ cup dark soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon corn starch (to thicken)
  • Green onion, minced

  1. Heat all ingredients except cornstarch and green onion in small saucepan over low heat.
  2. Stir over heat until sugar is dissolved and garlic is tender.
  3. Thicken with cornstarch.
  4. Serve over tsukune and sprinkle with minced green onions.

This recipe makes a small amount. Double or triple if needed to serve with Tsukune recipe listed above.

You all know of the INCREDIBLE hype for this game, as if it was going to be groundbreaking or whatever. but it's not like anyone cares, its the same thing...shotting people and only buying it for the sole purpose of prestiging 10 times online and showing off how many head shots you can get in a game. all this is is a shotting game with other details, including weapons, attachments, and perks, however i love to tomahawk people in the face :) . with the guns there is too much recoil with the ...

As I stated in the title, this is a "surprising" addition to the Call of Duty franchise. The reason why is because I think it improved more on story then trying to improve on gameplay, something I've never seen in the Call of Duty franchise before. You play the game as Mason, a former U.S. operative struggling with his own thoughts. He can no longer distinguish reality from a crazed fantasy. In this game, you play through all of Mason's memories to uncover the truth of why Ma...

Scottsboro Boys: From Off-Broadway to the Guthrie to Broadway

I'm really excited about this show. Scottsboro Boys is a new musical written by Kander and Ebb (Chicago, Cabaret) and directed by Tony winner Susan Stroman, based on the true story of nine black teenagers wrongly accused of rape in the 1930s. It's been playing Off-Broadway (fun fact - the difference between Broadway, Off-Broadway, and Off-Off-Broadway is in the size of the theater: Broadway is 500+ seats, Off-Broadway is 100-499 seats, and Off-Off-Broadway is less than 100 seats) and will soon move to Broadway. But first, it's making a stop in at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, where they will tweak the show in preparation for the Broadway debut. I love being able to see a Broadway show before it hits Broadway, with the original cast. The last such show I saw was The Lion King, which premiered at the Orpheum Theater in Minneapolis in 1997 before heading to Broadway, where it is still running. Scottsboro Boys is not quite The Lion King; it tackles some pretty heavy issues, and I love when musical theater does that.

Check out this this StarTribune article for more information, and the Guthrie website for ticket info.

Update: check out this interview with composer John Kander, who's still creating ground-breaking musical theater at the age of 83.

Also check out this sneak preview of the show. (And if you stay for the very end you'll here the tones used to call the audience at the Guthrie, a sound that never fails to put a smile on my face. :)

Theater Latte Da at Lake Harriet

Last night I attended Theater Latte Da's concert Latte Da in the Park at the Lake Harriet Pavilion in Minneapolis. It was a gorgeous evening for outdoor music, and would have been a perfect night if I had won the raffle for a trip to NYC and gotten my ice cream (note if you go to a Lake Harriet concert - the concession line is the slowest moving line I've ever seen, I got in line 20 minutes before the show started, there were maybe 8 people in front of me, and when the concert started there were still 3 people in front of me, so I gave up). But other than that, it was wonderful evening of showtunes.

Theater Latte Da is my favorite local theater (not counting the Guthrie). According to their mission, "Theater Latté Da seeks to create new connections between story, music, artist, and audience by exploring and expanding the art of musical theater." That's something they do beautifully; their productions are always very well-done and their choices are unique and interesting and really serve to move musical theater forward. Yesterday they announced their 2010-2011 season: Evita, All is Calm, Song of Extinction, and Steerage Song. All really interesting choices that I'm looking forward to.

There were five singers, accompanied by Latte Da's music director Denise Prosek on the keyboard (artistic director Peter Rothstein was also there to announce the new season). I've seen Sasha Andreev in several shows, most recently Tom Stoppard's Rock and Roll at Park Square Theater and Two Gentlemen of Verona at the Guthrie (both are plays, but he played a singing role). Erin Capello and Kahlil Queen are in the upcoming production of Evita, and Whitney Rhodes was in last year's hilarious and moving The Full Monty. I've never seen Jennifer Grimm before but I loved her voice; at times she reminded me of Judy Garland, at other times, Rosemary Clooney. She has that classic 40s/50s deep rich voice (check out her website).

On to the songlist, from what I can remember. I wish they had passed out the songlist because there were a few songs I could identify. But here's what I could:

Sasha first sang a song from West Side Story (I think it was "Something's Coming" but for some reason I'm having trouble remembering). Other songs were "Mr. Cellophane" from Chicago and something about flying a kite. But my favorite song that he did was "Run Away with Me" from the musical The Unauthorized Biography of Samantha Brown by Kerrigan and Lowdermilk. I've previously heard this song in this youtube video of Aaron Tveit (who wowed me in Next to Normal on Broadway last year). I dare you to watch it and not swoon. :)

Erin has a great musical theater voice and sang several great musical theater songs, including "Meadowlark" from The Baker's Wife (which I saw Patti LuPone sing earlier this year), "Diva's Lament" from Spamalot, and another Kerrigan and Lowdermilk song, "My Party Dress," in which she's a little girl dreaming of her future and trying not to spill on her party dress.

Jennifer sang a few original songs that she had written. One about how she missed Minneapolis and St. Paul when she was in New York (which mentioned the cherry and spoon!) and an update of "Anything Goes."

Whitney sang "Don't Rain on My Parade" from Funny Girl, one of the best musical theater songs ever. She also sang a hilarious song about how she was always relegated to the chorus and never got to sing the melody. Whitney and Jennifer also did a beautiful sort of duet. Jennifer sang "Dulcinea" from Man of La Mancha, followed by Whitney's beautiful rendition of "Someone to Watch Over Me," which then morphed into a duet as they both sang their songs together (I guess that's what Glee calls a "mash-up" ;).

Kahlil started the show with a song from one of my favorites of this year, "Let it Sing" from Violet (the final show of Latte Da's 2009-2010 season). He also sang a song from one of my all time faves, the haunting "Left Behind" from Spring Awakening. Kahlil and Sasha did a beautiful duet of "I'll Cover Me" from another all time fave, RENT, which just made me smile. So I guess Kahlil wins the gold star for singing the most songs from my favorite shows!

The group also sang "Blues In the Night" together and ended the show with selections from Evita: "Night of a Thousand Stars" (Sasha), "High Flying Adored" (Kahlil), "Star Quality" (Jennifer), and of course, "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" (Erin).

Another feature of the evening was the little kids who were dancing in the area in front of the stage. At one point there were about ten little girls holding hands and running around in a circle and laughing. Some people might have found this distracting, but the musicians, professionals that they are, weren't distracted at all. I thought it just added to the charm of the evening. A beautiful night by Lake Harriet, great showtunes sung by talented performers, and the laughter of children. What could be better? Besides ice cream. :)

I've been thinking about starting a theater blog for a while now. I love theater (especially musical theater) and attend a lot of local and touring shows, as well as shows in other locations (mostly NYC). I usually end up going to shows by myself because no one I know loves theater as much as I do. And to tell the truth I often prefer it that way, so that I don't have anyone or anything to distract me from the main event. But I often find myself wanting to tell someone about it or express something about the show, and again, no one really cares as much as I do! Except for my BFF Kendra (who's with me in my profile photo, and suggested the name of this blog), but she's not local, so she doesn't quite get it either. So I decided to start this blog to put it out there for other MN theater lovers to enjoy. Even if no one reads it, I think I'll enjoy putting my thoughts/impressions/feelings into words.

I don't intend this to be reviews; if you know me you know that I love everything. I'm not criticial enough to be a critic. But there are definitely some shows I like more than others, which you'll probably be able to tell by my enthusiasm and how many exclamation points I use. And I'll let you know if there's something you must see. And please do the same for me, if there's something you think I should see that I'm missing. I have season tickets to the Guthrie, Ordway, and Hennepin Stages, and am a frequent audience member at Theater Latte Da and Mu Performing Arts, and occasional audience member at several other theaters in town. But there are so many great theater companies in the Twin Cities that I just know I'm missing some. Hopefully this blog will also get me more in touch with the theater scene and other theaters I might not have heard of.

This is great timing for me to start this blog - I have five shows coming up in August (see my "upcoming shows" list, above right), including three Sunday matinees (I love the Sunday matinee - I'm already dressed up for church so I can go from there to brunch to the show, and still be home for an early bedtime). I've also got a couple of concerts coming up and might talk about those a bit, although the main focus will be theater. My musical tastes are ecclectic but mostly skew toward the folk end of the spectrum (other than showtunes of course). I might also occasionally rave about a movie or TV show, we'll see where things go.

I guess that's enough rambling to start this blog. I'm looking forward to sharing my love of theater with you all!

p.s. and just to prove that in my head, everything relates to musical theater - the title of this post reminds me of the song "Origin of Love" from "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," and my sign-off "Peace" is inspired by my recent obsession with the musical "Hair!"

Table Talk

We sat around the kitchen table – me, Bernie, Suzie. I was actually on the floor, partly under the table, just my head sticking out. I always feel good that way – how about you?

“You look so tired, Bernie,” Suzie said. I looked at him. His hair was sticking up in strange clumps and he needed a shave. “What happened out there?”

“I hardly know where to begin,” Bernie said.

“How about at the beginning?”

“But when was that?” Bernie said. “When Chet found the gold bar, or after the plane crash?”

“Either,” Suzie said. “Or both.” She leaned forward to listen. I was listening, too. I’d forgotten about that gold bar.

"Old friend" - Poetry of the Tasting Note

In a recent Vinography post entitled "Eric Asimov and the Tyranny of the Tasting Note in American Wine Culture", author Alder Yarrow summarized Eric Asimov's position on (against) wine tasting notes presented at the fifth annual Symposium for Professional Wine Writers in February 2009.

Alder quoted Eric:
"Tasting notes. Millions of them. To the point that some critics and writers seem to do only one thing: generate more tasting notes. Which has led to a wine loving public that unduly focuses on two things: numeric scores and increasingly specific strings of adjectives that aim to describe every last hint of flavor and aroma in the glass. Describing wine with with such adjectives, Eric suggested, is the equivalent of describing a concert using decibels and frequencies.

This almost clinical approach to wine criticism, according to Eric, is killing our budding wine culture. The general public sees these chains of amazing and obscure descriptors for wine and they feel like if they aren't able to either identify with them or generate their own, that somehow they don't and can't understand wine."

A long, very very unusually long thread of comments erupted following that post - arguments pro and against raged and endured like a February rain in the Bay Area. Even I got sucked in.

I was finally awakened by a puzzle that a friend sent me, no doubt inspired by watching Kami no Shizuku, once and for all demonstrating the essential nature of the tasting note:

Tasting note puzzle

Tonight I'm drinking an old friend, wine that has lost its drive but is still of character. The tannins have become more aggressive as the fruit has fallen away, a regional wine of a grand woman. The vintage was plentiful but the of great quality in the years of the nine. A wine that is a bit like an attractive elderly secretary reaching retirement, still elegant and classy.

What am I?

Regional wine of a grand woman: Bourgogne from the Grand woman Lalou Bize Leroy. 1999 was a vintage with high yield and good quality (not very common). Year of the 9's of course! Its the basic wine from Leroy so its not expected to last. Still 8/9 years for a bourgogne is not bad. By almost most standards, a typical Bourgogne is made for drinking well before 10 years, even from a great vintage. There are always exceptions, declassified village or 1er cru, etc. But almost all AC Bourgogne sites are greatly inferior, cooler with poor drainage, more disease due to cooler temperatures and higher humidity; usually more fertile as well. The wine still has fruit but seemed to lose a bit since the last tasting about two years ago. Structure/flavor balance evolves over time. As the intensity of flavor drops, the structure asserts itself. In this case, the tannins are starting to dominate the wine. Still, this wine shows its pedigree, easily the best regional Bourgogne to date.

Take that, Eric Azimov!
Respectfully yours, Iron Chevsky.

Presidential election comics

Even by presidential election standards, it's been a tough year. We've suffered through a barrage of attack ads, neverending debates and not nearly enough embarassing slip-ups. With less than a week left, the worst is (mostly) over. But these last days will be a nasty slog. To help you through it, we re-cast our politicians (and their wives) as comic book characters. Vice President Joe Biden as The Joker? Given his non-stop smirking through the vice-presidential debate, it was a natural fit. After those infamous pictures of Congressman Paul Ryan's killer biceps, we knew he had to be The Hulk. Here's the whole crew: The presidential candidates, their wives and running mates. Because if you don't laugh, you might cry.

Women's curling

"My first stop today was curling where the women's semifinals were underway. I didn't expect to get anything interesting out of it but it was actually a lot of fun. There is plentiful access to shooting positions all the way around the ice and you're quite close to the players. I enjoyed watching the intense facial expressions during play and tried to capture them up close. A passing Canadian photographer helped fill me in on some basics of what was going on, but I still couldn't explain much about the sport." Great Britain's Anna Sloan, left, and Vicki Adams compete in the women's curling semifinals.

Miss Golden Globe: HFPA fries up some Sosie Bacon

Continuing its tradition of selecting names that sound a little like made-up nouns from Middle-earth (hi, Rainey Qualley!), the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. has named Sosie Bacon as Miss Golden Globe for its ceremony on Jan 12.

Bacon is the daughter of Hollywood royalty twice over: the 21-year-old is the second and youngest child of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. She has done acting sporadically, appearing on several episodes of Sedgwick’s “The Closer.” Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are hosting the 2014 ceremony, ensuring there will be no jokes whatsoever about Bacon or her parents.

On the set: movies and TV

Because he could, HFPA President Theo Kingma joked in the announcement, “As we all know, she comes from a very talented family, and this gets us one degree closer to Kevin Bacon.”

The Golden Globes chooses celebrities in their late teens or early 20s for the Miss or Mister Golden Globes role, which is ceremonial. Sam Michael Fox (of Michael J. and Tracy Pollan fame) and Francesca Eastwood (of Dirty Harry and Frances Fisher renown) held the role in the last two years. If you have any doubt that the HFPA makes the decision based on the oddity of someone’s name, among its past honorees are Eva Six,  Rumer Willis and the aforesaid Rainey Qualley.

Find out which osteoporosis drug is the safest

Q: Which osteoporosis drug is the safest? I have been told to take Evista, but am hesitant because of the risk of stroke.

A: There are a number of drugs available to treat or prevent osteoporosis. There is no single best (or safest) drug. The choice depends on:

--The reason your doctor recommends treatment

--Medical problems you have

--Your preference on how often to take a dose and how to take it (such as a pill or injection)

First, make sure you're getting enough calcium, vitamin D and weight-bearing exercise, such as walking. Some people get enough calcium and vitamin D, but the average American could use some help from supplements. Medications (such as corticosteroids or excessive thyroid hormone), smoking and heavy drinking can also contribute to osteoporosis risk.

If your osteoporosis was confirmed by bone density testing or if you have had a low-impact fracture, treatment options include:

--Bisphosphonates (Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva, Reclast, and generic forms). These drugs inhibit the cells that break down bone. Side effects include heartburn, esophageal damage, abdominal pain and bone pain. A rare complication is osteonecrosis of the jaw. With this condition, the bone in the jaw dies, causing pain and poor wound healing after dental procedures.

One advantage of these drugs is that they don't have to be taken every day. Fosamax and Actonel can be taken once a week. Oral Boniva can be taken once a month. The intravenous form can be taken every three months. Reclast is given intravenously once a year. The intravenous options are an advantage for people who cannot tolerate pill forms of bisphosphonates or who cannot remain upright for 30 to 60 minutes after taking them.

--Raloxifene (Evista). This drug can reduce bone loss through an estrogen-like effect. A unique "side-effect" is that its use is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer. Some of the other risks are similar to those of estrogen. That's why Evista is usually avoided for people with a history of stroke or blood clots in the legs or lungs.

--Teriparatide (Forteo). This is a form of parathyroid hormone. It is usually reserved for severe osteoporosis that does not respond to other treatments. It's injected daily. It is generally not a first choice because of this. It may cause dizziness, leg cramps, constipation, and muscle weakness.

Finally, there is cost to consider. A generic bisphosphonate is typically much less expensive than a brand name medication. Talk to your pharmacist about the options and find out what your insurance will cover.

Where Manufacturer - gone? Bussmann Circuits

Terminal Program

A program that emulates a terminal on your PC (or other computer).

To talk to your embedded project you'll have to have some terminal program running on your PC (or other computer).
This computer can also compile/assemble/link/download the program your wanting to test.
Some development systems have part of their user interface in a dedicated terminal program and treat the RS-232 line more as a network connection. This doesn't make things much simpler generally.
When your embedded project (or it's development board) also has a network connection you can use this for downloading and connectiong.
Sometimes you can also use other busses like an SCSI-bus, but RS-232 is generally the simplest first step, because handling a UART is quite easy. (First polled and later interrupt driven when necessary.)

You can for example use the terminal program from Windows, CU (Connect Unix) and Kermit.
There is also a source for a VT100 terminal somewhere around (try the Simtel archives for example, the name is or email me.
Among the more professional terminal programs I prefered Procom for DOS and later Telix for DOS.
For Windows 3.1 I prefer VT-220 from Dart Communications <>, but I use this with winsock, so I don't know if it's as good when you dial in or even if you can use it directly on an RS-232 line.

PowerVT is now shipping version 3.0, which is available for both 32- and 16-bit environments.
It supports VT 320/220/100/52/ and TTY, and it does direct connections, dial-up and telnet, as well as file transfer via telnet.
We've added tons of features and enhancements since 1994, too.

A Thyristor is a four junction (pnpn from the top down I think) device. It's effect is that once triggered, it turns into a latching diode. A bit crude, but they pass an awful whack of current, are good at high voltage, and survive abuse. When you reverse bias it, it goes off. Uses are only limited by your imagination, but generally are as follows: motor control circuits; crowbar circuits (A short across the supply rails to blow the fuse and prevent your circuit dropping it's trousers publicly ;-); Some power supplies; anywhere you need to switch big current, or you need the latching effect. A thyristor only works when the anode is positive, and the gate negative.

A transistor can be a discrete part with three pins, but it's also the basic element for building chips.
There are basically two kinds: The PNP and NPN both contain three layers and are basically current amplifiers, while the FET* (my favorite) is a voltage amplifier. Besides being analog (non-linear) amplifiers they can also be used as switches and this is how they are commonly used in digital chips. Recently (199911) a new much smaller transistor, the FinFET, has been invented which can be made upto 40 times smaller than the conventional transistor.

A Triac is two thyristors back to back to give the same effect with both sides of an AC waveform with the one device. Used in motor controls, power supplies, and 'solid state' relays. They have the reputation of being a bit unreliable, and failing. My experience is that they are (expletive deleted) difficult to get working in the first place!

Tri-state means that an output port has three possible states: 0V, 5V and high-impedance. During that last state it doesn't drive it's output. This is useful when another device may also be allowed to take over the line, in which case the current device may even switch it's port to an input state so it can read the line. Data lines in processor systems are good example of these kinds of tri-state lines. (Address lines are also tri-state if the system uses DMA* or has otherwise multiple processors on the same address bus.)

See also the related subject open-collector output.

Terminate and Stay Resident.

This is mechanism under DOS whereby a program stops running, but stays in memory. During startup they have linked them selves to certain events like hardware interrupts or system calls from other programs and will generally act as drivers. They are mostly started up from the batch files config.sys or autoexec.bat

Transistor Transistor Logic
But we hardly use TTL anymore, since CMOS* has become as fast and uses much less energy and has become as cheap. Most of the former TTL devices, the famous 7400 range, is now being produced in CMOS* as HCT* (High Speed CMOS*).
HCT* is very compatible with TTL but you shouldn't leave inputs open and you can't use the 74HCT04 as an oscillator (buffer), use the 74HCU04 instead!

Halibut Fish Stew over Polenta

I made this simple fish stew the other day, it is basically the same recipe as Halibut with basil over polenta, except I chopped the fish up added more vegetables to stretch it a bit. Baby update - as of now I haven't gone into labor naturally its a week and 1/2 late and have a c section scheduled for tuesday so I will happily introduce our little guy next week :-)

Have a great weekend everyone

God Appointments
This devotional was written by Jim Grams

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. —Matthew 28:20

I picked up the phone one day to call ministry donor and thank them for their gift. The husband answered and quickly handed the phone to his wife, saying, “You need to talk to my wife.” I was so glad that I had been talking with my Heavenly Father that morning.

This precious couple had just received news that their son, who had been missing for 13 years, had been found dead in a faraway state. It was truly a divine appointment that I called. With a heavy heart I lifted that broken mother and father to our Lord and He ministered to them, just like He always does.

We need to be ready every day to touch the lives of the hurting ones. Not with our weak words or small hands, but with the love of Jesus. He has healing hands and comforting words for those who are broken. When our voices are full of Christ’s love they will penetrate the hurts of our world. Let’s not be afraid to share Jesus with everyone we meet. A word of prayer and a hug can change a person’s life forever. Surely that is what God is calling us to do.

The Psalmist cried out to God in a moment of real frustration, “But even so, you love me! You are holding my right hand” (Ps. 73:23 Living Bible). I’m so glad God has a tight hold on our right hands, leading and guiding us in our uncertain walk through life.

There is no way to know who is going to need your love and prayers tomorrow. As we allow God to lead us daily, He will cross our paths with those He wants to touch. Our responsibility is to have tender hearts that are filled with His great love.

1. Begin asking God to give you Divine Appointments. Then, look for them.

2. Ask Jesus daily, to love others through you.

Acts 8:26-31Acts 9:10-11Acts 10:30-33

Standing Strong Through the Storm - January 19

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.  2 Timothy 1:7

One of the major tactics of Satan is to use difficult situations to create fear in us and thus immobilize our witness. For example, during the 9/11 attack in USA, Heather Mercer and Dayna Curry were being held in a prison in Afghanistan. In an interview with Christianity Today magazine on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, Heather Mercer said, “There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about it. God sent me to prison to set me free. I don't think I realized how much fear I actually had in my life until I had to confront some of my deepest, darkest fears. When I first set out to go to Afghanistan, I knew it might cost me my life to reach Muslims with the love of Jesus. Then I had this opportunity to face that fear of, ‘What would I do if someone tried to kill me for sharing the gospel?’ God made Himself known in such a profound way that now, what do I have to fear?”

Today Heather continues to serve God fearlessly in the midst of chaos and fighting in the spiritually needy country of Iraq. Dayna is a brave “worker” in the country of Turkey.

In Papua New Guinea (PNG), Wycliffe’s Sue Ambrose is out for a walk on February 4th, 2009. She’s talking to the Lord about people, issues and life. As she continues her walk, she reads memory verses from three Gospels that say, “Whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”

The slapping sound of bare feet running on packed earth causes her to turn around to see a crazed PNG man charge her with a large machete-like knife raised murderously above his head. After a quick altercation and feeling as though she was dying, Sue was rushed to the medical clinic where friends and co-workers were shocked to see her in such grave condition; many abrasions; a damaged hand; a puncture wound near the sternum just below the diaphragm and lungs; and the knife still stuck fast in her hip.

Sue was remarkably calm through the process and felt no pain. Once stabilized, she was transferred to medical facilities in Australia.

While in hospital, God gave Sue a clear vision of an angel, “A big warrior kind of guy that was eight or ten feet tall with his sword raised, saying, ‘No, that is enough! I am not going to let you kill her.’” Sue says, “That really opened my eyes to the whole spiritual realm; that this man was part of Satan’s attacks on us, on the training centre and on the work of SIL.”

Two and a half weeks after being air-lifted out of the country, Sue returned to her ministry in PNG. The Wycliffe magazine, Word Alive reported, “That seemingly simple act proves to be a strong counterstrike to the Enemy—a living sermon calling others to shun fear and courageously press on in their respective callings.

“I don’t think that I ever considered not going back,” says Sue. “God has given us the strength to return and it has spoken volumes to people.” Sue models an attitude that we all must grasp, the article concluded. Let fear not rule!

RESPONSE: Today I will not allow the enemy to use the tactic of fear against me.

PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, for the wonderful examples of fearlessness shown by Your people today.
