Edinburgh Fringe 2007 Preview - Part 2

Post updated with links to individual reviews.

We've already outlined our initial plans for the Fringe in our Preview post, but after a more in-depth look at the programme I've picked out a further 5 shows that I'll be attending at the Festival without Waldorf's company (thanks to the benefits of a day job with flexi-time).

Fin Kennedy's "Mehndi Night" (review now posted) performed by a group of Bengali teenagers centres around the night before a traditional Bengali wedding. I enjoy reading Fin's blog but would always have wanted to see this as I love a glimpse into other cultures, although the promise of a free samosa and cup of chai helped.

As well as "Yellow Moon", David Greig also has a new work being performed - "Damascus" (review now posted) which promises "laughter, romance and tragedy" - what more could I ask for?

"The Butler Did It!?" (review now posted) with QMUC students mocks Agatha Christie style whodunnits - a genre that just isn't mocked enough. Hoping this will provide some light relief.

With "Killer Joe" (review now posted) takes us into the world of "trailer trash" which has so much potential I'm trying not to read too much about the show beforehand - I want to go into this without any idea what to expect, although "darkly comic" is always a description that will get my attention.

FourthAngel are a new company and there was just something about "Turn Me To Stone" (review now posted) that caught my eye - yep okay, it was that "darkly comic" label that got me again.

That probably concludes our plans for the 2007 Fringe - 16 shows in total, although there are plenty of other shows we would like to see see but sadly can't make work in our schedules, often due to them having fairly limited runs. In particular, "Tiny Dynamite" still hasn't made our plans - its 9.30pm start time is just that little too late for a comfortable return to Glasgow.

Many thanks, Statler, for your comment on Clcokwork Orange for the dylanwolf blogspot. I'm a not infrequent visitor to your blog as you seem to have the same sort of enthusiasm for theatre as myself.

Your Edinburgh Fringe previews are a great help as the "Wee Dramas" myself plus two daughters with one boyfriend (not shared!) and one family friend are making our first ever trip to the Fringe this summer and are mightily confused by the abundance on offer! Particularly me, also equally dazzled by the contemporaneous Book Festival.
My biggest current wish is for "Black Watch" to find a venue somewhere south of the border. Preferably the NEC in Birmingham!
Congratulations and thanks for the super blog. Keep it up and I'll weigh in with support whenever I spot you on the Guardian's CiF!

Statler said...

Glad you are finding the Fringe previews useful, although I'm not sure how many I would encourage people to take as recommendations - just bringing a few things to attention, although I would go so far as to recommend "James II" out at Rosslyn Chapel. If you've never been before the "gala" performances with buffet/Q&A and chapel tour are a wonderful experience in themselves, even in the unlikely event that the show disappoints. (It's a late night finish though so not sure if it will be public transport friendly)

London failing to find a home for "Black Watch" has been a disappointment, and I do hope the NTS will give regional venues in England a chance to stage it. Of course you could always use it as an excuse for a New York or LA trip...

Sean said...

Indeed, I agree with many of the things you mention.

The Traverse looks goo this year, no?

Kewash Half Marathon

This week at Rotary Teri Hartzler and Amy Schulte invited Michelle Driscoll to talk to the group about the Kewash Half Marathon. The run started in 2014 with about 70 participants and has grown over the past 5 years with over 240 participants from 10 different states last year. Last year, over $8000 was raised, with part of the funds being returned to different organizations and clubs in the community, including 2 youth running groups in Washington, and the high school cross country team.
This year, the race will be held on Saturday, April 20th, and will start and finish outside JPs 207. The route goes through some of the more beautiful and historic parts of Washington, before heading west out of town onto the Kewash Nature Trail. There is a half marathon, a 10K and a 5K. New additions to the race this year include pacers for those trying to set new personal records, or who just want to run with a group of people for extra encouragement. Organizers are also hoping to have cheering sections set along the route to give runners an extra nudge to keep going. There will be a group of local firefighters who are going to run the half marathon as a relay, with each one running 1 mile in full fire gear.
The organizers are asking for volunteers to come out the Saturday before, April 13th, at 9 am to meet at the trail entrance near Sunset Park to help with trash clean-up. The flyer for the clean-up is pictured below, and you may contact Teri Hartzler if you are interested in helping.

Teri also spoke briefly about a new program the Y is hosting for community members with special abilities. Each Tuesday afternoon in the month of April from 3-5, they Y will host The Social Scene. A new activity will be offered each Tuesday for participants to expand their skill sets and try out some new things. The flyer is pictured below with more information.

Upcoming Events:
March 28: Lynn Koch
April 4: Connie Larson
April 11: Willie Stone
April 18: Emory Van Gerpen (Holy Week)
April 25: Bob Lamb

Summer "Loves"

There's so much to love about summer.  This year I am loving:

  • Summer TV series
    • Burn Notice
    • Covert Affairs
    • Boston Med
    • Eureka
    • Warehouse 13
    • Rizzoli & Isles
  • THE BEACH!!  I'm a pasty freckle-faced girl and I burn in 5 minutes flat...but the smell of the ocean, the ocean breeze, quality time with friends and the inevitable squeals that come with the first wade into the water are well worth it.  :-)
  • Flip-flops
  • Headbands - My hair is FINALLY getting long enough to warrant the purchase and usage of headbands.  WOOHOO!
  • Freshly made ice-cream at Peaceful Meadows.  It's an experience that comes complete with mooing cows.  If you can see the cows while you are eating the know it's fresh!
  • Fireflies
  • This song.  I don't really "get" the video...but the song is catchy and it makes me smile for some reason.

What are you loving this summer?

  1. fireflies and flipflops!! love!!

  2. the end of it and the beginning of fall ;-)

  3. firefly VODKA of the sweet tea variety. :)

  4. Relocation to a different type of weather. Moving from the desert in California to Oregon is pure bliss!

  5. Great picks on your shows. I love the last one you listed. I am enjoying my in laws pool, park days, going for ice cream, and just kind of enjoying being warm. I know that will end soon.

  6. I'm loving summer vacations, ice cream and Big Brother!

  7. Hubby and I have been watching Burn Notice this summer. Good show!
    I have also been loving all of the fresh fruit and homemade ice cream! :)

  8. an award for you!

I LOVE comments! Tell me what you're thinking. :-)

Trader Joe's Spanakopita

You know, I was planning to start this off by going off on some tangent about Greek food festivals here in and around the 'burgh (there's one pretty much every week in the spring and summer, which is awesome) but then I looked up what the word "spanakopita" means in Greek. I'm so disappointed. There's a part of me that gets excited when I find out that a food name like "burrito" can be translated as "little donkey" or, my favorite, that "gordita" can be taken as "fat little girl." Now I know that Greece has a rich tradition of mythology and also I've watched enough Popeye cartoons to know what spinach can do for a guy, so, really, I was hopeful. I figured it meant something like "Zeus vitamins" or "favored munchie of Apollo." Heck, I'd even settle for "Minotaur vegetarian option." But no, it means nothing like that . Spanáki (spinach) + pítta (pie) = spanakopita (spinach pie). While being straightforward, it's also pretty lame. Eh well. Regardless of its pitiful nomenclature, spanakopita is one pretty tasty treat that Sandy and I routinely enjoy at the aforementioned Greek food fests so when we saw that Trader Joe's offered a box that just might get us through the lean winter months, we figured it was worth a shot.

Well, it's nothing like your yiayia's homemade batch, but for what it is, Trader Joe's Spanakopita is decent enough. $3.99 gets you a box of a dozen good-sized triangles that bake up in the oven. Whoever invented the idea of phyllo is a genius. Though so inefficient as dough needing layers upon layers, the phyllo on those bake and brown up real nice, keeping crispy in spots it needs to be crispy, and a little mushily saturated when it comes in contact with the spinach filling. The spinich filling works alright, too. It's strangely reminiscent of my mom's homemade spinach soufflé (which, believe it or not, was a favorite dish of mine growing up) as there's a lot of chopped up spinach with some feta and ricotta (more ricotta than feta, which is a minus) with a pinch of onion and whatever Greek spices. It seems like there's an appropriate amount per wedge, too, so all in all, they're pretty decent for the bake-from-a-box variety.

That's not to say they'll be joining our pantheon, though. First, there's the relative abundance of ricotta versus the pittance of feta. I know you want to keep it cheap, Trader Joe, but c'mon now. There's only enough feta in there for it to be tasted but not really experienced, at least in our box. Secondly, the box. Look at the picture. It's so lame. Put some gods or cyclops or at least Socrates on there, for goodness sake. Also it refers to the dough as "fillo." I've seen "phyllo" (my preferred spelling) and "filo" but never "fillo." It's not the first time that TJ's makes a goofy error like that on a box, but combine that with the generic design and lack of feta, I can't help but think this is some cheapie knockoff frozen brand in TJ's clothing. Kind of like the Trojan Horse, I guess. One last gripe: the spinach filling kinda spewed partially out halfway thru the baking time, causing this burnt mess I had to scrunge off our baking sheet, which I hate doing. As a word of advice, put some tin foil under these suckers. You'll thank me.

It's time for the Golden Spoons...hopefully we won't *fleece* them...sorry. Sandy seems to like them well enough, but I was a little perplexed when she went with a four for them. "They're not as good as the real thing, but they're pretty good anyways," she said. Hmm. Apparently, they're also not as good as reheated leftover pizza crust to her either, as she opted for those over her third spinachy bite during our pizza and spanakopita lunch the other day. Not like I'm complaining for picking up her slack, but let's just say these don't exactly get my Zorbas dancing either. I'll counter with a 3.5.

Bottom line: 7.5 out of 10 Golden Spoons

  1. Hmmm, I tried that once and didn't care for it. Though I will admit I did not follow the directions on the box.

  2. I recently tried the TJ's spinach pie, which is basically the same as these, but instead of being little triangles of phyllo/filo/fillo, it's sheets of phyllo, a layer of spinach filling, and then more phyllo on top. You cut it into squares and eat it like a casserole. For some reason, I liked the pie version better. There's more filling and it's got a really nice garlic and feta flavor. You're less likely to get a bite that's all phyllo without much filling. I recommend that over these (though I like these well enough too, and always buy a couple of boxes when I'm having people over for drinks and apps).

  3. Spanakopita...nom nom nom. TJ's approximation is tolerable until one can find a half decent Greek place/grocery.

  4. I ADORE the spinach pie...very reasonably priced for a great product. As I'm the only one who eats it at my house, I appreciate that it's great left over, too. I just pop a square in a piece of Corningware and bake it for 15 minutes or so and it's a dandy breakfast. mmmmmmm

  5. I buy and eat two pies a week. I usually eat with scrambled eggs or as a snack. I used to make spinach triangle growing up. Can't get enough of it. I just love them!

  6. I had tried these a few years ago and remember them being really good, so I was pretty disappointed when I tried them for the second time the other day. Texture was great. Nice and crisp. But I was expecting more flavor... more ricotta/feta. All I could taste was the spinach and it just didn’t seem right. I’d rather just have straight up sautéed spinach personally. More flavorful. Pretty sad about this... wouldn’t buy again

  7. Has anybody else has noticed that nowhere on the new 12-piece Trader Joe's spanakopita package there is any information about where they are made at. Information exists on their one piece spanakopita, and their strifti cheese pie. They are all made in Greece, But, not on the 12-piece spanakopita triangles, a new offering from them. It makes you wonder why. I hope it is not because they are made outside the European Union, where there are minimal controls on the quality of the ingredients.

  8. OMG! What did they do to these?!? This is not phyllo anymore, it's a chewy disgusting cardboard mess. BLECH. Way to ruin a good thing, guys.

    1. You are totally right! We thought the same thing. Used to be our go to - now they are thrown together thick mess

Yoga Eka Pada Koundiyanasana I Pose

I present this list only as an example, because the literature on the segments is extremely varied. Iyengar wonders whether these zones might correspond to the endocrine glandular system that regulates the major movements of the organism

To awaken a chakra, the devotee must be able to move the designated area of the body in coordination with the respiration, associated affective mechanisms and mental representations. When all of these can be vividly integrated, the disciple moves on the next door. Once two doorways have been opened, the metaphor of the snake is there to remind us that each door refers to a psychoorganic whole, and that the coordination of the segments must acquire the same continuous grace as that of a cobra that dances vertically to the sound of a flute.

You may try and see how difficult it is to get the spinal column to move like a serpent while you breathe comfortably for ten minutes. We often find this type of movement in dances from around the world.

#430 Black-crowned Night-Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax)

10 May

Small herons with rather squat, thick proportions. They have thick necks, large, flat heads, and heavy, pointed bills. The legs are short and, in flight, barely reach the end of the tail. The wings are broad and rounded.. They’re most active at night or at dusk, when you may see their ghostly forms flapping out from daytime roosts to forage in wetlands. In the light of day adults are striking in gray-and-black plumage and long white head plumes. These social birds breed in colonies of stick nests usually built over water. They live in fresh, salt, and brackish wetlands and are the most widespread heron in the world. Often spend their days perched on tree limbs or concealed among foliage and branches. They forage in the evening and at night, in water, on mudflats, and on land. In flight they fold their head back against their shoulders, almost making the neck disappear.

1001 UsesFor Dental Floss #58- Sugar Really Is Bad For You, In So Many Ways

I recently came across this article in Medscape, a well-respected medical journal which is easy to access online. The contents of the article should make you worry. If you think about the processed and commercially-available restaurant food you may occasionally (or often) eat or take your kids to, you should be aware that sugar is an ingredient in very many of these foods, sometimes even surprisingly so.

It used to be that salt added to foods, and fat, whether saturated or unsaturated, was seen as the villain “eating away” at your health, and this has been promoted by the food industry and used as an excuse to cover up the role of added sugar, in all its many forms, in affecting nutrition and health. As it turns out, sugar is, according to research findings coming out more and more, a major cause of obesity and a contributor to, among other conditions, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It should be a cause for concern. Just as tobacco was once defended by the companies who produced products such as cigarettes and cigars, industry involved in the use of sugar in its many forms and disguises are now fighting to retain their hold on its use in food production, denying its deleterious effects. Something to think about.

From a dentist’s point of view, sugar is well-known as a cause of tooth decay when combined with poor oral hygiene, because it feeds mouth bacteria, which produce acids. These acids at first etch tooth enamel (by dissolving its calcium-containing crystals), and in later stages eat away at its structure, making cavities (holes) in the tooth surface. Now, sugar is being linked to other disease processes.

Flossing is important, but let’s not forget that our teeth are part of our body. It’s all one, and it’s all that you’re got, really. Take care of it.

This is important reading.The original article can be found at: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/

Sugar Is the New Tobacco, so Let’s Treat It That Way
Aseem Malhotra, MBChB, MRCP

I was recently asked to speak at the UK parliamentary “Sugar Summit.” This event was convened by Rend Platings, a mother so disturbed by England’s chief medical officer’s revelation that, as a result of obesity, today’s generation of parents may be the first to outlive their children, that she launched a campaign, Sugarwise, to help consumers identify foods with added sugar.[1]

Keith Vaz, chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Diabetes, chaired the event, whose audience was made up of a number of representatives from such high-profile UK retailers as Tesco, Caffè Nero, and the Jamie Oliver Group, as well as such influential stakeholders as the UK Department of Health, Public Health England, the British Soft Drinks Association, and the Food and Drink Federation.[2]

I began by welcoming the UK government announcement of an introduction of a 20% tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in 2017. I similarly welcome the recent statement calls by the World Health Organization (WHO) to tax sugary drinks by at least 20% in order to curb the global epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes. We mustn’t forget that the substantial decline in tobacco consumption in the past three decades, which was the single most important factor driving a decrease in cardiovascular mortality during that period, only happened after legislative measures that targeted the affordability, availability, and acceptability of smoking.[3]

Health Effects

Oxford researchers have estimated that a 15% reduction in sugar consumption through such a tax would prevent 180,000 people in the UK from becoming obese within a year and a larger number from becoming overweight.[4] But the scientific evidence reveals that the positive health benefits for the whole population of such a tax goes beyond a mere reduction in calories:
• An econometric analysis of 175 countries (considered the highest quality of study with the exception of randomized controlled trials) revealed that for every additional 150 sugar calories available for consumption, there was an 11-fold increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the population. This is compared with 150 calories from another source such as fat or protein and independent of body mass index (BMI) and physical activity levels.[5]
• The prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the US population between 1988 and 2012 increased by 25% in both obese and normal-weight populations,[6] which goes to show that type 2 diabetes is not a condition related purely to obesity.
• A high-quality prospective cohort study revealed a trebling in cardiovascular mortality among US adults who consumed more than 25% of calories from added sugar versus those who consumed less than 10%, with consistent findings across physical activity levels and BMI.[7]
• The positive health effects of reducing sugar intake appear to be quite rapid. In a study of 43 Latino and African American children with metabolic syndrome, keeping total calories and calories from carbohydrate identical, a reduction from a mean of 28% of calories from added sugar to 10% significantly reduced triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting insulin within just 10 days.[8]

How Much Sugar Is Safe?

So, how much sugar do we need? For the purpose of health, the optimum consumption is zero. Added sugar has no biological requirement and is, therefore, not by any definition a “nutrient.” It is the fructose component (sucrose is 50% glucose and 50% fructose) that fulfils four criteria that justify its regulation: toxicity, unavoidability, the potential for abuse, and its negative impact on society.[9]
How much sugar is safe? The consumption of just small amounts of free sugar, which includes all added sugar and sugar present in fruit juice, syrups and honey, on a daily basis, has a deleterious impact on the most common noncommunicable disease globally: tooth decay. Treatment of dental disease is responsible for 5%-10% of health expenditures in industrialized countries, and in the UK, tooth decay is the number-one cause of chronic pain and hospital admission in young children.[10,11]
As pointed out by researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, there is a powerful argument that the WHO should recommend a maximum limit of sugar consumption to make up no more than 3% of daily calories (about three teaspoons).[12] The average UK and US citizen, however, consumes at least four to seven times that amount.[13,14] This is perhaps not surprising when one acknowledges that it has been almost impossible for the consumer to avoid sugar, as it is so prevalent in the food environment and much of it is hidden. In the United States, almost half of all sugar consumption comes from foods one wouldn’t normally associate as having added sugar, such as ketchup, salad dressings, and bread. A third of sugar consumption comes from sugary drinks, and a sixth from foods that people normally perceive as junk, such as chocolates, cookies, and ice cream.[14]
In the United States, there isn’t any reference dietary intake for sugar on food labels. In Europe, the labelling exists but doesn’t differentiate between children and adults. One can of regular cola contains nine teaspoons of added sugar, which is triple the 2009 upper limit intake suggested by the US Department of Agriculture for an 8-year-old child. The UK Guideline Daily Amount label describes these nine teaspoons of sugar as 39% of the guideline daily amount. On the basis of this false reassurance, it would be understandable for parents to believe that it is safe for their child to drink two and a half cans per day.[15]

The food industry often argues that the public should have a “personal responsibility” when choosing what foods to eat, which deflects blame from their own culpability in the obesity epidemic to the consumer. The truth is that the public lacks knowledge because of confusing food labels, and the public lacks choice because sugar is added to approximately 80% of processed foods.

Big Tobacco, Big Sugar

The fact that it took 50 years before the first links between smoking and lung cancer were published in the British Medical Journal and before effective regulation was introduced is testament to how Big Tobacco was able to defend its practices. Key to the strategy was denial, planting doubt, confusing the public, buying the loyalty of scientists, and giving ammunition to political allies.[16]

The similarities between Big Tobacco and the sugar industry are disturbing. As a recent publication in JAMA Internal Medicine showed, the sugar industry paid three influential Harvard scientists to downplay sugar’s role in heart disease and to shift the blame to fat.[17] Last year, the New York Times exposed that the Coca-Cola Company paid millions of dollars to fund research that downplayed the role of sugary drinks in obesity and push lack of exercise as the main factor.[18] And, according to one former UK shadow health minister, the incorrect advocacy of a low-fat, high-carbohydrate, and high-sugar diet by “morally corrupt scientists and politicians who allowed themselves to be manipulated by food suppliers” is to blame for global obesity.[19]
The recent calls by the WHO to tax sugary drinks are very welcome news for health campaigners. The public health messaging, however, has to be more clear. There is nothing wrong with the occasional treat, but sugar has no place as part of a “healthy balanced diet.” Similar to smoking, any further regulatory measures to reduce sugar consumption, such as banning of sugary drink advertising and dissociating sugary drinks with sporting events, will have a further impact on improving population health within a short time. The science is more than sufficient; the case against sugar is overwhelming. Sugar is the new tobacco, so let’s start treating it that way.

The Foo Fighters have released yet another surprise EP. The rocker’s sixth numbered EP of the year, 01020225, features two originals and two covers.

The four-song set, available on most streaming services, boasts a unique cover of The Psychedelic Furs' 1980 track “Sister Europe,” and a live cover of the B-52's “Planet Claire” – featuring the group’s frontman Fred Schneider - recorded live at the Supper Club in New York City on Halloween 2002.

It also contains two songs previously released on film soundtracks. “The One” originally appeared on the soundtrack for the 2002 Jack Black comedy Orange County. It was also the B-side on the CD single for “All My Life,” as well as on a limited edition bonus DVD of the One By One album. “Win or Lose” was peeled off the soundtrack to the 2001 film snowboarding film Out Cold and was also a B-side on their 2002 single “All My Life.”

The Foo Fighters have been releasing surprise EPs throughout 2019 to keep fans happy as they await the band to record new music. Three weeks ago (Sept. 20), the band released the 00050525 Roswell EP, comprised of songs recorded in Roswell, New Mexico, which coincided with the Area 51 raid. One week later (Sept.27), the band surprised fans with 01070725, which features Arcade Fire and Dead Kennedys covers.

As previously reported, the Foos are gearing up to record new music. During their recent show in Rio, Dave Grohl told the audience, “We go home next week and start making a new Foo Fighters record.” Drummer Taylor Hawkins previously stated that the group is planning to release the effort in 2020.

The band's last full-length record Concrete and Gold was released in 2017. It spawned the singles "The Line, "The Sky Is a Neighborhood" and "Run."

Very good. Nice staging and acting choices, there's a lot of personality conveyed.

Raevynne 'Mei' Vile:

Wonderful acting choices, great arcs

Leo Leung:

just noticed one thing, when he says : comfor.dable there, at 167. Both guys changes poses almost at the exact same time, it feels strange and too staged. Pretty sweet though

Chris Schildt:

I like the implied context of them being old pals from the force and the environmental cues to set the story. The fat guy was married, lost his wife, then most recent or pertinent he is good buds with the other cop. Maybe the fat guy retired or was fired? Is the cop offering to give him his badge back or is he mockingly flashing his authority to suggest the fat guy doesn't have a choice in the matter? All seem reasonable and interesting for the dialogue, but make it difficult to get a feel for what is being conveyed in the acting. Either way I like what you've done :)

Beats Studio Buds in Apple’s beta software

An excitement drives through our way when the news about Beats Studio Buds breaks out unexpectedly. The seekers looking for the wireless earbuds may now wait for the confirmation and an official announcement of launching the Beats Studio Buds by Apple. These high-end earbuds will be available in their beta version software for tvOS and iOS, as reported. The images featuring the Beats Studio Buds with its charging case, along with three different colors black, white and red, also surfaced in the media revealing its look to the masses.

The media outlets like MacRumors and 9to5Mac provide the brief about the Beats Studio Buds. The earbuds will support active noise cancellation. They are reportedly made up of silicon ear tips rather than hard plastic. These earbuds will be available without ear hooks, similar to Powerbeats Pro. Also, the images suggest these buds have a shorter nozzle as used by AirPods Pro.

Apple has announced the previous day that Apple Music subscribers will be offered lossless audio and hi-res audio format music without having to pay an extra charge. Also, the feature may not be available for Apple AirPods Max.

The rumors regarding the upcoming Beats Studio Buds by Apple are certainly a matter of elation for all. Not much has yet been revealed or confirmed either, that remains waited to be confirmed without any further delay.

Apple AirPods earbuds are also expected to get updated shortly with some overhaul in the design including reduced stems and other design aspects inspired by the AirPods Pro. The AirPods, however, may still reclaim its hard plastic body and the same fit.

 Apple’s former President Luke Wood left the company the previous year which led to a switch over for Beats Studio Buds. Meanwhile, Scott Croyle of HTC will reportedly take over the position to work specifically for the Beats Studio Buds hardware.

The Girls in the Boat: The University of Washington’s Women’s Rowing Team

written and photographed by Kevin Max

A collective breath wafted up to the wooden rafters of Conibear Shellhouse, a soft cadence of repeated hushes exhaled into the space. Hshh … Hshh … Hshh. In unison, forty women with their eyes steady on an imaginary horizon, another championship, pulled back on the handles of rowing machines, pushing through their legs and exhaling with the machine’s pneumatic coil—Hshh—the entire gym one large organism whose whispers recalled a tradition tracing back far before the 1936 Olympics.

In 2013, the New York Times bestseller The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown took millions of readers to a time when America struggled under the weight of the Great Depression and had just begun to turn its attention to the rising wave of fascism under Hitler’s Germany. Coming from relative poverty and obscurity, the boys of the University of Washington’s rowing team would beat the elites of sport and the Swastika-clad Aryan crew in Berlin in 1936. These lads, their colorful mentor Al Ulbrickson and shell-maker George Pocock embodied American innovation and optimism as they raced their way into rowing lore.

University of Washington women’s rowing team looks to repeat history in another NCAA sweep

Now comes the UW women’s rowing team—girls in the boat.

On May 28 last year, University of Washington’s women swept all three events—the first and second varsity eights and the four—making it the first team to win all grand finals in the twenty-one-year history of the NCAA Regatta.

History was teetering when the eight rowers plus coxswain from the University of Washington stepped into their racing shell at Mercer Lake in West Windsor, New Jersey, the home course of Princeton University. The clouds they were used to, as the UW rowers live and train in Seattle where rain is a constant element of any outdoor pursuit.

To their left was their perennial rival, Cal, whom UW had overpowered in the Pac-12 championships two weeks prior. Cal’s coach, Al Acosta, had coached with UW coach Yasmin “Yaz” Farooq at Stanford. To the right was Stanford, the sixth-seed boat, whose strengths Yaz knew well, having recruited all of them.

While Cal has always gunned for UW, the Stanford crew had a personal reason to take it to the UW boat with revenge in mind. The last time Stanford had won an NCAA championship was in 2009, with Yaz as coach. The Huskies’ varsity eight boat gobsmacked Stanford in the Pac-12 championships, putting eight seconds into its rivals. This fire burned for the Stanford women.

As the flag dropped, the Washington women pulled to an early lead and maintained it into the final 500 meters of the 2,000-meter race. Stanford made up time in the second half of the race, taking back one second of the UW’s two-second margin. It would not be good enough to pass the determined finish by Washington, who crossed the line and shattered records.

“I remember smiling at that point,” Yaz recalled. “It was strangely perfect. I knew what every woman in both of those boats was capable of doing. Stanford put in a worthy challenge. Washington answered it. Every woman in both of those boats put it all out there. At the end, Phoebe Marks-Nicholes called over, ‘Helluva race, Stanford!’ and it truly was.”

University of Washington women’s rowing team: champions in the making

On a frigid morning this January, UW women’s crew paddled out from the Conibear Shellhouse. Into the dark water, twenty-four blades dipped soundlessly just below the surface, settling there for a moment in a solution of both resistance and propellant. It’s then that two dozen women in three boats of eight transferred an avalanche of power from a coordinated grouping of quads and hamstrings, glutes, lats, traps and delts evenly down the length of 12-foot, 4-inch oars, shooting the 55-foot carbon arrow past houseboats, yachts and tankers and into the urban slate of Lake Union.

“Try to keep that outside wrist flatter so you can squeeze off that finish better,” Yaz shouted into a bullhorn that blared across the bows of the three shells and into the early morning grey. Her petite features peeked out from a sou’wester rain hat in the coach boat. Her Os paired with a soft Scandinavian W and projected the authority of an experienced cox.

Yaz grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis before leaving for the University of Wisconsin, where she coxed for the varsity eight. She went on to the 1992 and 1996 Olympics, with sixth and fourth place finishes. In the World Rowing Championships between 1990 and 1995, she earned a gold and three silver medals in venues such as Finland, Tasmania, the Czech Republic and Indianapolis.

Of all of her races, one against Romania in the 1995 World Cup stands out. The Germans were the favored team. The Americans would be in contention. The Romanians were always a force. The American team pulled out to a boat-length lead going into the final 500 meters. Romania attacked from fifth place and pulled within a half-boat of the Americans going into the final 250 meters. Yaz looked to her left and saw the Romanians making a late run. The American women dug deeper, kept their form and edged the charging Romanian boat for a gold. “That just felt so good,” she said of the United States’ two-second victory over the Romanian eight.

“Keep accelerating the blade with your leg drive,” Yaz cracked over the bullhorn as a paddling of ducks on Lake Union roused from their neck-tucked slumber. “I think your swing is aggressive and that’s fine, but you’re swinging instead of using your legs all the way. Let your legs build that speed, because they’re bigger and stronger.”

University of Washington women’s rowing team: from athlete to coach

In 2006, Yaz was living in Eugene, Oregon, and leading a small rowing club when she got a call from Stanford. With no high-level coaching experience, the two-time Olympian wasn’t sure she was qualified for the job. “You never know if being an athlete translates into being a good coach,” she said. Even now, she struggles to name the few elite coaches who came from coxing. Nonetheless, the sprite of a woman accepted the coaching position and led the program to a second-place finish in her second year. Stanford hadn’t been among the top three finishers in its history. In her third year, however, Yaz and her team won the NCAA championship. Gone was the doubt that a cox could steer one boat, but not a whole team. Her coaching career was on fire.

Over the course of her ten-year tenure at Stanford, the coxswain-turned-coach would lead the Cardinal women’s rowing team to its best run in its history. When she first took the Stanford coaching job in 2006, her husband asked if there was any other coaching job that would entice her to leave Stanford. Washington, she replied.

In 2016, UW called.

The resignation letter from the Stanford Athletics Department showered her with praise. It would miss the coach who took the program from obscurity to spotlight. Perhaps more troubling for Stanford was that she’d be the coach of its Pac-12 arch rival. “She has invested a great deal into the program and built Stanford into a perennial title contender,” the athletic department wrote. “An Olympian and United States team captain herself, Yaz knows what it takes to compete and lead on the sport’s biggest stage.”

In her first year at University of Washington, Yaz would have the daunting task of measuring up to the performance of long-time departing coach, Bob Ernst. She changed how the team trained with more on-water volume, she shuffled boat assignments and brought order to a fractious team, which had dismissed its coach in a controversial mid-season ruckus.

“There are a lot of ways to go fast,” Yaz noted. “The training that I did on the national-team level involved doing more aerobic base training and volume. That’s what I implemented for them. They had a history of starting fast, but fading before the finish line. The hardest thing in the beginning was to get them to row with less intensity for longer periods of time—to build what I call ‘the capillary superhighway.’”

She became the first coach to win the NCAA championship at two schools. That performance was remarkable enough to make her the 2017 Collegiate Rowing Coaches National Coach of the Year.

A young team, all rowers from the 2017 championship team have returned for another crack. Into the water they went, the shells cutting sharply through the 45-degree morning air, three boats of eight slicing through Montlake Cut. They slid past the old boathouse where the 1936 team trained and George Pocock made his shells. In the fog around them, the ghosts of history mingled with the prospect of making history again at the NCAA rowing championships in Sarasota, Florida.

University of Washington women’s rowing team: Elise Beuke

Elise Beuke pulled steadily along, her blades slicing into the darkness of Lake Union.

Beuke, a 20-year-old sophomore, learned how to row in Sequim Bay on the northern coast of the Olympic Peninsula. Her dad, a middle school history teacher and cyclist, decided his kids would get involved in endurance sports. Beuke’s mom was already on the water, kayaking the banks of the Olympic Peninsula and the world over looking for smooth pieces of sea glass for her jewelry-making business.

To the west of the small town of Sequim lie the Olympic Mountains, to the north Victoria, British Columbia, and 70 miles to the southeast, the University of Washington. While the Olympic Peninsula sees an average of 140 inches of rain per year, Sequim and its surrounding area falls in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, making it a dry, cool place for training on the water.

Beuke began rowing on a two-oared scull at Olympic Peninsula Rowing Association, a local club founded by John Halberg, a UW crew member from the 1958 class.

Halberg helped found the club in 2007 and, in 2012, recruited Brazilian cox Rodrigo Rodrigues to take over coaching at the fledgling club. “John Halberg, the president of my rowing association, bought the boat I row in for me,” Beuke said. “Without him, I wouldn’t be rowing.”

In high school, Beuke quit basketball and volleyball to focus on rowing, and she read Brown’s The Boys in the Boat. “I think it had a unique effect on me because I’m from Sequim and Joe Rantz was from Sequim,” she recalled.

On January 6, 2017, Halberg died of a heart attack while rowing. Four months later, Beuke would cross the finish line and, as a freshman, make rowing history for his alma mater. The local newspaper, the Sequim Gazette, connected Halberg’s recruit, Rodrigues, and Beuke in an article about Halberg’s legacy. “Rodrigues helped build the club’s junior program and coached the likes of Sequim’s Elise Beuke, who placed seventh at the World Junior Championships in 2015 and earned a scholarship to row at the University of Washington.”

Beginning Beuke’s sophomore year, UW brought in a new head coach. “I was excited because Yaz was an Olympian and a cox like my high school coach, Rodrigues,” she said.

Beuke began to notice the team’s training was “so much more organized and intentional,” she said. “We knew that we were doing this workout today because it was targeting these specific muscles and would help us in different parts of the race. This really helped people take ownership of
this workout.”

University of Washington women’s rowing team: strength in diversity

Among the team’s forty members are kids from Washington, California, Vermont, Virginia, England, Germany and Italy. Some have no rowing experience. Some come from European rowing elite.

Carmela Pappalardo, “Pappi,” started rowing when she was 12. Her father, Rosario Pappalardo, a competitive rower, was her coach. The youngest of six children, Pappi grew up watching her older brothers row.

She began rowing in the Tyrrhenian Sea, between mainland Salerno, Italy and Sardinia. In the shadow of the Santa Maria Asunto Church and along the steep cliffs of the Amalfi coast, Pappi focused on technique bobbing in the ocean chop. “In the sea, it was really difficult,” she said. “Sometimes it was really boring because I like rowing with other people and I was in a single.”

Competition rowing was going well, and Pappi was invited to join the Circolo Canottiere Aniene rowing club in Rome, where she was also enrolled in school. The logistics of pursuing education and rowing in Rome, she said, was hard. “My university was so far away from my club. It took me two buses and forty minutes to get there,” she said.

In 2016, she got a call from the UW rowing team. “Early on, I realized that I could go to UW and get a scholarship,” she said. “I studied English since high school and tried very hard. I came from a small town. This was a big opportunity.”

In her first year at UW, Pappi found the people friendly, felt at home (albeit a home with inferior pasta and pizza) and rowed to a first-place finish in the second varsity eights boat. “It was amazing!” she said. “We were all working together very well. Every race, I just try to do my best and stay focused from the first to last stroke.”

This season, the 22-year-old hopes to make the first varsity boat and perhaps find more authentic southern Italian food.

The team’s goals, however, will be focused on the Pac-12 championships May 13 in Gold River, California, with Stanford and Cal gunning for them. Two weeks later at the NCAA championships in Florida, the girls in the boat and their second-year coach will wrestle with the notion that they could repeat last year’s unprecedented sweep.

CADDIS Volume 2

Learn About Sources

What Are Sources?

Sources are activities, land uses or entities that directly or indirectly result in stressors. There currently is only one (1) source-based module in CADDIS, which considers urbanization and its effects on streams.

How Do Sources Relate to Candidate Causes?

A candidate cause is a hypothesized cause of a specific environmental impairment, sufficiently credible to be analyzed in a causal assessment.

A candidate cause can be simply a proximate stressor (e.g., low dissolved oxygen concentration), that is, the stressor directly responsible for the observed biological response (e.g., low dissolved oxygen concentration).

However, a candidate cause also may include more detailed information about the causal pathway, such as the source or sources that resulted in the proximate stressor (e.g., increased nutrients associated with stormwater runoff). Including more detail when listing candidate causes may help identify ways to distinguish among different candidate causes included in the assessment.

Why Should You Make investments in Android Apps?

To be sincere, a cellular application is an icing on the cake for the consumer encounter, although calls and textual content messages are the foremost functions of a cell gadget.

Trying to keep in mind, the significance of mobile software and its usability, you can possibly pick Android or iOS. Just before you build your app, it is a good idea to do a industry study on the Android and Iphone app growth companies in town to discover the appropriate developer for you.

Primarily based on your specifications, decide on the right system for your application.

The green robotic human is recognized for its rewarding functions, affordability and smartphone fragmentation. Not like Apple, Android has a vast range of products which helps make it the topmost priority in application development. Wait! This is not the only reason to decide on Android. There are a lot more advantages in creating an Android application. Here’s why:

Android dominates the Indian smartphone industry

Android is only the marketplace which can offer you substantial-top quality characteristics at an cost-effective value for an comprehensive selection of cellular products. To put it merely, any regular Indian customer can get an Android smartphone inside his/her favored spending budget. free apk to the market place segmentation and affordability, Android nevertheless proceeds to dominate the Indian smartphone industry share.

Android delivers lower obstacles to entry

The iOS application growth firms need to require a Mac desktop to build the iOS apps. On the other hand, Android application improvement can be completed on a Home windows, Linux or Mac. In addition, Google charges a 1-time payment of $twenty five to sign up as a developer whilst Apple costs $99 every year. For an Android application advancement, all you need to have is a method and a price of $twenty five to commence your growth approach.

Android applications are designed making use of JAVA

Java is verified to be the most strong programming language and utilised for creating a wide selection of units. It is an open resource which gives free of charge source code from its Java Growth Package (JDK) to the builders and the included advantage is that it can run on any technique no matter of the hardware and application dependency. This strong programming language is used for establishing the native Android apps.

As Android applications are written utilizing the Java programming language, it can be easily ported to other platforms like Symbian, Blackberry, Ubuntu and Chrome OS.

Android is great at customization

Are you fatigued of the very same previous widgets? Chill! Obtain a widget from a third social gathering app and change it with your inventory a single. Bored of the very same format? You can down load and change it also. Android permits you to customise your application the way you like it – that’s the foremost reason why builders adore developing applications on Android than any other platforms.

Based mostly on the feedbacks from the testers, you can rectify the problems and/or include some features just before it reaches the true consumers. Therefore, Android provides the excellent platform to check your app.

Android is rewarding

Sure! You read it proper. The standard assumption is that the Apple iphone consumers are prosperous to make in-application purchases, and thus it generates more earnings than Android. But this isn’t real any more. Android builders can make revenue via preliminary application buys, in-app purchases and from the most lucrative way-app ads.

In accordance to a study by DAU-UP, the regular revenue for every consumer for Android games was just twenty% by January 2010. Astonishingly, it has attained to 65% by the yr stop. Additionally, the marketing value are twenty-50% lower on Android apps, which can eventually be more profitable than the Apple iphone apps.

Now that you are mindful of the rewards of investing in the Android application, you can build your app on this most promising platform to remain in advance in this aggressive market place. Thanks to its usability and affordability, Android still continues to be unbeatable and carries on to rule the smartphone industry. Bear in mind, establishing an Android application isn’t really an price. It’s an expense!

 Very up to date hotel and comfortable. Location is an easy walk to Valletta and restaurants. Our meeting was at the Excelsior and was 10 min walk. Decent morning breakfast gave us a fast start for the day.

Excellent hotel, highly recommendeded!

Excellent hotel, highly recommendeded!

Everything was perfect. I was at first dubious about the only window of the room, over the door, facing an internal courtyard. However there is a lot of light and the air conditioning system is excellent (also fan and dehumidifier available). Mia and her colleague were excellent hosts, very kind and willing to help. Perfect position, 5 minutes from la Valletta's door and the buses. Fruits available at the entrance, coffee ("Lavazza A modo mio", so REAL coffee, important detail for Italians:-) ) always available. New structure. Highly recommendeded!!!

Domain Name Power Can Be Worth Millions To Solopreneurs

I have owned well over 100 domain names over the many years I have been on the Internet. For some of you who don’t remember when the world wide web first starting out domain names were actually FREE. Yes, I said FREE. Since then domain names have taken a roller coaster ride. Today you can register a domain name for as little as 6.95 per year and in some cases depending on who is doing the promotion Free domain name registrations are still available.

The number of dotcom domain names has soared more than 130 percent to 66 million. Every two seconds, another joins the list.

So what is in a domain name that can be worth millions? Well according to Business 2.0 Magazine Kevin Ham’s domain names have made him 300 million dollars richer. Kevin Ham owns domain names like and which he paid $350.000 for when it went up for bid 2 years ago. Mr. Ham owns about 300,000 domain names, and No that was not a typo. He owns roughly 300,000 plus domain names that bring in about 70 million a year in revenue.

Mr. Ham’s biggest claim to fame though is the Cameroon typo mistake in which he has made a killing.

What say you is the Cameroon typo mistake? Well all of us have done this at least once or twice or more when we type in a .com domain name as .cm instead. Go ahead and try it on almost any popular domain name that you can come up with. Try it and see what happens.

If Mr. Ham is still taking advantage of the Cameroon .cm typo then you will see a website with all kinds of related information to your typed in domain name. Lets just use one of my favorite baseball teams the New York Yankees and type in The page that comes up has many related content links for the New York Yankees. The only thing is you will also see that brand at the bottom of the page which lets you know that site is owned by Mr. Kevin Ham.

Mr. Ham, a self made solopreneur millionaire, made a deal with the country of Cameroon who owns the domain name extension .cm to redirect almost every domain name that is miss typed .cm to one of his websites. These website have both Google and Yahoo pay-per-click ads on them. Mr. Ham then gets the revenue made when you go to one of these sites and click on one of the related links. He then splits some of the revenue with the country of Cameroon.

So what is in a domain name for you. Well I don’t expect you to acquire as many domain name as Mr. Ham or even me for that matter. What I do expect is that take advantage of all the great things that can become of your business with spending as little as $6.95 on a domain name. If you don’t have your own domain name for your business I suggest you go to a website like and register your company domain name for $6.95.

The possibilities are endless once you have your own registered piece of the world wide web.

All The Best
