Flaps: The SR-9 is designed to incorporate working flaps. However, flaps are optional and not required for an excellent flying experience. With -out flaps, the takeoff roll is a bit longer and the landing speed is a bit faster. If you do not wish to build working flaps, simply glue them into position. You will need these additional items for flaps: hinges of your choice, two servos, Y-connector, servo extension cords (if the Y-connector is not long enough).
OS FT-160: This engine is highly recommended and featured in the instructions. It has ample power for even a 22lb model with scale appearance and sound.
Scale Documentation: Three-view drawings and photo packs of full size SR-9s are available from: Scale Model Research, 3114 Yukon Ave Costa Mesa CA. 92626 phone:714-979-8058. JAL 7/7/99 ir/jl
The diameter of the prop on the full size model is 8' 3". That makes the scale diameter 19.8". The prop we used on the OS FT 160 was an 18" x 6-10". The engine could have turned a 20" x 6" prop as well, so a scale diameter flying prop on this model is a real possibility.
Designer's comments regarding engines: The G38 would be acceptable, though it is at the upper end of the power I would recommend. The model was not designed for high power, high speed flight. It was designed to replicate how the full size aircraft flew.
The G38 is a heavier engine, so this will increase the weight of the model. At 25lbs the model flies in a very scale like manner on the OS FT-160 twin. The power rating of the FT-160 is 2 HP, so it is not that strong. However, it is much lighter than the G38.
If it were my model, I would use an engine that is lighter and has less power.
If using the SuperTigre G3250 you would need an in-cowl muffler and would indeed require extensions to get out of the cowl. The G2300 would be a better choice, but it would also require an extension. Neither could use a standard muffler. Aerotrend has some silicone tubing that would work well. The G3250 and G2300 both have more power than the model needs, so good throttle technique is a must. The OS FT-160 twin was used on the original model and it also required extensions, but doesn't require a muffler. A piece of brass tubing was brazed onto the exhaust pipes of the engine. The sound and noise level were very acceptable. The OS FT 160 twin is by far the best engine for this model. It sounds great, has just the right amount of power, runs beautifully and fits completely in the cowl. UPDATE: 11-13-00 KZH
Per the designers the spinner used for the photos and the plans is the TruTurn one for the AT-6 Texan.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) Browns coach Pat Shurmur has already developed thick skin. Now, he's bulking up his record.
With two straight wins, the Browns are showing major signs of improvement in their second season under Shurmur, whose future in Cleveland could hinge on how his team plays in its final four games - if it hasn't been determined already.
On Sunday, the Browns (4-8) snapped a 12-game road losing streak with a 20-17 win over Oakland, putting the Raiders away with a clutch, 94-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter, when Shurmur made a gutsy fourth-down call.
The Browns have gotten better and so has Shurmur. He has been harshly criticized by some Cleveland fans for his game management and play calling, and there's a chance he won't be around for a third year once new owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner finish their postseason assessment.
Shurmur won't predict what's ahead.
``I don't want to talk about my future, OK?'' he said. ``I'm trying to make this the best Monday of the year, and I'm trying to get our team ready to play the Chiefs and then after that and so on and so forth. I don't look at it that way. I'm not taking any half-swings here. We'll just play it out and see what happens.''
There's no denying that the Browns, with 17 rookies on their roster, are growing up.
They've been competitive since Week 1, but in back-to-back wins over Pittsburgh and Oakland, they've finally shown the ability to finish games. It's an important step in the development for any team, even more so for one starting a rookie quarterback, running back, wide receiver, right tackle - and with a coach under fire.
Shurmur acknowledges his team's evolution, but he knows the Browns are far from a finished product.
``I feel good about where we're going, we've just got to keep going,'' Shurmur said. ``It's easy to let that momentum stop. That's what I'm guarding against, and I think our locker room understands that it's important you jump right back in the process.
``You'll get tired of hearing me say that. As long as I'm here, you'll get tired of hearing me say, `jump back in the process.' Because I think that's most important. Initially for the season it's 16 processes and how well you get that right. Because that gives you the best opportunity to be successful on Sunday. And that's where we all want to be, at our best.''
Shurmur may be down to his last four Sundays, but he's committed to making the most of them.
Last week, Haslam said in an interview with the Plain Dealer that he believed the Browns were ``very close'' to being a playoff contender. He was noncommittal about Shurmur's future and reiterated that he and Banner would wait until after the season before making any personnel decisions.
Shurmur was pleased to learn his new boss sees progress. That doesn't mean it's time to stop.
``It's always good to hear good things,'' Shurmur said. ``I do know this. What's important to me - and it's very narrow-minded - is this next game, period. And then whatever gets determined gets determined, but what I can control right now with this football team is what happens this week.''
On Sunday, the Browns will host the Kansas City Chiefs (2-10), who pulled together and beat Carolina one day after linebacker Jovan Belcher shot and killed his 22-year-old girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, before driving to Arrowhead Stadium, where he committed suicide in the practice facility's parking lot.
After facing the Chiefs, the Browns will host Washington before closing out the season with road games at Denver and Pittsburgh. Cleveland has already matched its win total from last season, and if Shurmur bumps up his resume with another win or two or three, he could make it very difficult for the Browns not to bring him back.
He's made his share of mistakes, but Shurmur appears to be learning from them. Earlier this season, he was slammed for electing to punt on a critical fourth down against Indianapolis. Two weeks later, his gamble on a similar play against Baltimore backfired in a loss. On Sunday, Shurmur chose to go for it on 4th-and-1 after quarterback Brandon Weeden was stuffed on a sneak.
Following a timeout, Shurmur had Weeden run the same play and the Browns converted to keep alive their game-winning drive.
``Any time you do something more and more, you get better at it,'' Shurmur said when asked if he's improved. ``It becomes clearer. There are things I see better now. There's other things that come in to this now. I know my coaches and players better. I understand how everybody on our team is going to respond in most situations. Yeah, I think there's things we're doing better - me included.''
Browns defensive lineman Ahtyba Rubin sees a difference in Shurmur from last season, his first as an NFL head coach.
``He's getting more comfortable and he knows the players more,'' Rubin said. ``He's getting acclimated and has a feel for our opponents. Coming in and playing the Steelers and the Ravens and the Bengals is pretty difficult every year, so this conference and division is hard to get acclimated to.''
With a youthful, talented nucleus, the Browns have a promising future. What's unclear is who will coach them after this season.
Shurmur has his fans and critics, who even find faults when he wins. He's managed to block out the personal attacks and remains focused on winning.
It's not always easy.
``I really believe in this group we have and I really believe this is the foundation of something that could be really good,'' he said. ``Even though I say that and believe in it, until we start winning football games, that's what shows it. That's really my concern. Some of the other stuff about me personally - what more can they say about me?
``I don't listen to it, but I'm told frequently about it. That's where the thick skin part comes in.''

A blogger life is really cool. I admit. Right now, while I am typing these words, I am sitting on a big table in the Bloggers' Zone with some of my absolute favorite bloggers and friends. To my left I have Nina from Stylizimo and Desiree from Vosgesparis, to my right Emma from Emma's Designblogg, Anna from La Maison d'Anna G. and Riikka from Weekday Carnival. Somewhere lost is Gerard from Walnut Grey Design, Agata from I Like Design and the mastermind Allan from Bungalow5.
After our booth stylings (I will blog about that later) and a few press events (some to be covered later, too), I walked around the fair in search of interior design news and eye candy for you. And yes, I've discovered quite a few highlights. I hope you'll like them too. Let's rock and roll!
1. Trip Trap's 'Georg Collection' by Christina Liljenberg Halstrom
This collection you might see on almost all of above mentioned blogs because in this case we were unilateral in our decision: big blogger love for Christina's amazing designs! She created the 'Georg Collection' for the entryway but it can be used in various spaces of the home. The simple yet sophisticated use of wood and leather is impeccable – it makes the functionality of each piece become visible and turns function into design and vice versa. The story is quite charming, too: Christina worked on this collection for quite a long time while her son was sick at home. He kept asking his mother why does this look like that or like that, so she had to work on her design philosophy constantly. Once she finished and her little boy recovered, she decided to call the collection Georg. Just like her son.
She also designed a beautifully simple collection of tea towels for the Danish brand Design Nation.
2. Broste Copenhagen
I've blogged about the home accessories brand Broste Copenhagen after my last trip to the Danish capital. I have to say that I am very smitten with their collection of beautifully made home accessories and textiles. They perfectly blend a natural vibe with a Scandinavian pedigree into their products and add warmth and texture to any home. I also used lots of their products for my own booth styling.
3. H. Skjalm P.
I admit I have never heard of this Danish brand before. But their booth stood out at the DesignTrade and made my stop by and snap a few pics for you. H. Skjalm P. offers a wide range of home accessories and textiles including lots of brass as one of this year's trends. I loved how they made colour stories in combination with the brass elements – a green, blue and orange colour schemes smoothly blends with the warm glow of brass surfaces into a stylish setting. Judge for yourself!
4. Cozy Living
Cozy Living is another Danish home accessories brand that caught my eye. They offer a wide range of cushions with nature motives and saturated as well as pastel hues, copper accessories and candles. They are pretty new and just entering the market so keep an eye on them if you like what you see.
5. Kähler
Kähler might not be a discovery in itself as it is widely known for its iconic stripe design on their vases. But I've discovered their new range with wonderful colours and no stripes which I am totally in love with. The deep blue is one of my favorites although the berry hues are no less charming.
6. Bloomingville
Another brand that no one of you would consider a discovery. However, I am such a weak soul when it comes to Bloomingville, whenever I see them I have to enter their stand and roam around.
7. By Nord
Also pretty known but a highlight, too. The nature inspired home textiles from By Nord keep inspiring me and I love the strong Scandinavian DNA that is woven into its products adding that wild, nature focused vibe into any home.
8. Foxy Potato
Now this one has a double sense of interest – first, the coffee tables in geometric shapes and wooden magazine racks are excellent additions to stylish homes, and second, the name is so fun. Foxy potato!? How fun is it to tell your friends: 'Oh my coffee table, it's a foxy potato.'
Bye from Copenhagen from now. I will cover more over the coming days!

Weekly wire: The global forum
These are some of the views and reports relevant to our readers that caught our attention this week.
Refining advocacy assessment: reflections from practice
Efforts to assess advocacy – and thinking about how best to do so – are relatively recent compared to other fields. However, in the past decade a number of advocacy evaluation frameworks have emerged. This working paper looks at how these existing frameworks classify people and activities, and define and assess outcomes. It identifies problem areas, discusses implications for practice, and offers suggestions on how they can be addressed. The paper is derived from work over the past five years, revisiting recommendations from existing guidance, many of which the authors have followed and suggested to others. The working paper aims to contribute to further adaption and refinement of conceptual thinking and practical tools to assess advocacy.
Humanitarian Connectivity Charter Annual Report 2016
The 2016 Annual Report tells the story of the growth of the Humanitarian Connectivity Charter from its launch in 2015, to the end of 2016, charting how its footprint has expanded to more than 75 countries, becoming a globally recognised industry-wide initiative. This report also details signatory and partner achievements in upholding the HCC principles.


text: Hamline University Announces Master in the Study of Law ProgramAlready a leader in traditional legal education, Hamline University is pleased to announce a new degree program—a Master in the Study of Law—designed specifically for working professionals who desire a sophisticated understanding of law and conflict resolution but who are not seeking a traditional Juris Doctor (JD) degree. The Master in the Study of Law (MSL) is offered in two areas of specialty: Conflict Resolution and Healthcare Compliance, led by two of Hamline School of Law's nationally-renowned centers of excellence—the Dispute Resolution Institute and the Health Law Institute. Students in the MSL program will take courses from law school professors, alongside full-time law students. The program includes an immersion in the culture of law, insight into how the legal process works, law-related research experience, perspective on the legal implications of workplace decision-making, and mastery of conflict resolution theory, with practical skills set building in the areas of negotiation and creative problem-solving. "With national recognition for our leadership and expertise in the evolution of conflict resolution and health law education, and with our long history of developing and growing strong programs focused on legal education in our College of Liberal Arts and School of Law, Hamline University is well-positioned to offer this unique new program," said Dr. Linda Hanson, president of Hamline University. "The Master in the Study of Law offers a rigorous, integrated approach to legal education for working professionals who seek a significant understanding of the law without the desire to practice law." The MSL program is geared for individuals whose work or future career involves law or who routinely seeks the advice of legal counsel. This includes a wide range of professionals, such as: human resources professionals, risk managers, educators, business executives, journalists, financial planners, health care administrators, compliance officers, and privacy officers. It can be completed in 12 months for those attending full-time or in 18-24 months for those taking part-time day, evening, and weekend classes. Study abroad and summer or J-term classes are also available."Non-lawyer professionals are confronted everyday with decisions on the job that have legal implications or require interaction with lawyers," said Donald Lewis, dean of the Hamline University School of Law. "Many would benefit from a master's program designed for those who do not aspire to practice law, but want to learn how lawyers think and problem-solve in their industry."Hamline also offers traditional American Bar Association-approved JD and LLM programs through its School of Law, as well as certificates in paralegal studies, conflict engagement for health professionals, healthcare compliance, international business negotiation, global arbitration law and practice, and dispute resolution. The Master in the Study of Law is pending ABA acquiescence. Learn more about the MSL program.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is an epic game. But it's missing something. Rather, somethings. Those somethings are PlayStation Trophies, which the game does not support.
When asked via Twitter if he would make a "complete" version of Metal Gear Solid 4, MGS creator Hideo Kojima replied that he wanted to make a complete version of the game with Trophy support and 3D. But if he did that, then he and his team wouldn't have time to work on his upcoming game.

I have a problem with beaches. It's a fairly recent affliction. I spent childhood Christmases racing my younger brother across ragged white stretches of the Kenyan coast, and remember those vacations as periods of unfettered joy, untainted by sibling rivalry. I think of them frequently, and when I awake at 3 a.m. in New York, I often sling an imaginary hammock between coconut palms and settle down for the rest of the night, the breeze through the fronds masking the thump, clunk, thump of taxis crossing manhole covers on First Avenue.
But put me on a real live beach and I find it almost impossible to relax. It's that iPhone Tamagotchi, dragging in roaming data and winking it at me from my beach towel; the work-related thoughts which inundate when that daily grind–fueled adrenaline disperses, making me wriggle and worry and read the same page of my book fifteen times. These days, all that's racing across the sand is my mind.
Fortunately, I've found a cure, and it doesn't live on the Upper West Side, have a Ph.D. in psychology, or use the word journey to mean something that requires no physical movement. A few years ago, after I had spent a day cheating death on the black diamond ski trails of Park City, Utah, something occurred to me. Or rather didn't. I realized that I hadn't thought about work once. Okay, so it wasn't quite in the John the Apostle league of revelations. But it was a realization of sorts. And what I'd learned on the snow could, I decided, be applied to the beach.
Since then I've surfed, sailed, scuba dived, and cycled my way through vacations, had a prodigious amount of fun in the process, and achieved a temporary psychic state that a beach and a book can't give me. Because—guess what—you can't check your e-mail underwater, and a looming deadline is the last thing on your mind when a six-foot wave is yelping toward you. Action, it turns out, is the enemy of introspection. But until last summer, I had never made sport the raison d'être of a warm-weather trip. That was when I decided to discover whether doing something active every day would be a recipe for relaxation or too much of a good thing, and whether I'd take anything home other than great glutes.
"I believe that's what's known as shoulder season," said my friend Tom, rather superciliously, when I told him I was off to the Caribbean in early June. But that was the whole point. From mid-April through July, Zeus gives the Caribbean archipelagos a take-me-or-leave-me shoulder shrug, and you take your chances. You might get luminous sunshine, you might get rain. You'll probably get both: clouds alternately revealing and concealing the sun like an optometrist waving a lens over a patient's eye. The landscape develops a texture it lacks during high season—sea and sky are a Pantone chart of grays, blues, and greens in a single afternoon; the beach brilliant white one moment, dun the next. Being British, I have an innate respect for unpredictable weather, and I find the Caribbean's shoulder season intensely beautiful. And anyway, I wasn't there to sunbathe: It could rain all it wanted when I was one hundred feet below, prescription diving mask strapped tight, waiting for the next school of fish to swim by. Research had revealed that I would be able to cram scuba diving, mountain biking, and surfing into ten days by hopping between the Turks and Caicos, Jamaica, and Barbados—three islands I had never before set foot on. So I packed swimsuits, sneakers, and an umbrella and flew to the Caribbean.
Take a dip into these photos from Turks and Caicos, Jamaica, and Barbados.
My first stop was Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos. I learned to dive more than a decade ago off Koh Phangan in Thailand, and have since swum with the fishes everywhere from Belize to the Great Barrier Reef. The diving in Belize was sublime: The water teemed with leatherback turtles and stingrays. But my last scuba experience, off Cat Island in the Bahamas, had been disappointing—the coral looked jaded, the fish seemed not to have gotten the memo that I would be paying a visit. Perversely, I settled on the Turks and Caicos for diving, even though technically the islands are in the Atlantic and not the Caribbean: They are high on the best dives lists for their six-thousand-foot vertical walls and drop-offs adorned with coral and sponge—catnip for reef sharks, eagle rays, and tropical fish.
So preoccupied had I been with finding the perfect scuba spot—diving is actually listed as a "purpose for visit" on the Turks' disembarkation form—that I had overlooked this British outpost's other, arguably more significant, selling point: romance. "Honeymoon" was also an entry on that form. After I'd walked past five identical destination weddings on the impeccable stretch of sand that is Grace Bay (bougainvillea-strung matrimonial arch, check; sunburned best man, check); overheard an old married couple impart to a honeymooning duo the sage, albeit slightly contradictory, advice to never listen to anyone's counsel on marriage; and decided against entering the ocean for fear of being arrested for not being entwined with another body, I began to wonder what the hell I'd been thinking coming here on my own. And that was before dinner.
Meals, it must be said, were not a highlight of my time on Providenciales. Each began with the following exchange:
Me: "Table for one, please."
Maître d': "Table for one?"
Me: "Yes, please, a table for one."
Maître d': "Just you?"
Me: "Just me."
Maître d': "No one else?"
Me: "No one else."
Maître d': "You mean there's no one joining you?"
Me: "NO."
My mood lifted when I went for a run along the bay the next morning. The sand was fine enough to snort, translucent crabs were sidestepping at the ocean's cerulean edge, and the lovers were still in bed. It reminded me of the other benefit of exercise: the endorphin rush, powerful as that first amorous flush.
Overwhelmed by my surroundings, I came close to throwing down the towel and attempting beach oblivion one last time. But back at my hotel, the Dive Provo bus—which still bore the branding of its previous life as the wheels of a Japanese gynecological clinic—was waiting to pick me up for the day's scuba dive. There were about ten of us, including the requisite honeymooners, but as we left port in our boat and streaked off across the flat ocean, I felt my solo status less keenly than I had over candlelit red snapper and couscous at the Grace Bay Club the night before. We were united in our fish-finding mission.
The best spots for scuba (and where to get a margarita afterwards).
Our first dive site was The Chimney. I shuffled across the deck in my tank and fins, jumped into the Kool-Aid–colored Caribbean, deflated my life jacket, and sank, marveling, as I do every time I dive, at my sudden ability to breathe underwater and at the intricate sub-aqua landscape. The instructor led us to the site's namesake, a channel in the reef, and we funneled down, one after the other, arms folded in an effort not to provide a finger buffet for the shiny, incisor-baring barracuda that hovered within.
There was something of the fashion show about the dive, with its parade of underwater posers: beaky blue-green parrot fish, flamboyant scorpion fish, their frilly headdresses waving from side to side, and my favorite, the black durgon triggerfish—a trim, flat model with electric-white piping, a Phillip Lim frock of a fish. Draped over the pale-violet fans and yellow brain buttresses of the reef were neon-pink strings of coral that looked like Tom Binns necklaces.
When I returned to the boat, the dive masters were talking lionfish. These highly poisonous Indian Ocean predators have been the scourge of the Caribbean ever since a few of them escaped from a Miami aquarium after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Now, thousands patrol the seabed, and because they have no predators, they ingest everything in their path. They weren't the only killers the group had spotted in the big blue—two reef sharks had glided silently past the honeymooners. I was determined to bag my own on the afternoon dive.
I had spotted my first shark while snorkeling off Placencia, Belize, many years ago. Seeing a shark sharking around below when you're paddling near the surface is a panic-inducing experience of the first order. At least it was for me. My flight instinct had kicked in with aplomb, and I'd swum at Michael Phelps speed toward the boat, only to be told by my Rasta guide that it was a nurse shark, which is about as dangerous as a cat.
Being underwater, however, silences the Jaws sound track and makes these muscle-bound fighting machines seem almost approachable. You feel awed, of course, but not anxious.
That's how I felt when my reef shark finally shimmied past during our dive at the Eel Garden site, his head and body absolutely still, his tail sashaying from side to side in a perfect cha-cha-cha. Our eyes met, his a sort of impassive here-we-go-again, and I watched him until he disappeared, his blue-gray shagreen skin blending with the ocean. And then I saw another, and another.
When I surfaced and told my dive master that I'd counted seven sharks, he conveyed the disappointing news that in fact there had been only two, circling. One reef shark, it seems, looks much like another.
On the north coast of Jamaica, close to Ocho Rios, GoldenEye is the former home of James Bond author Ian Fleming. Owned by Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records, the resort recently underwent a complete makeover: Rustic cottages were built beside the lagoon and on the private beach; a bridge was strung across the lagoon, and two restaurants and an infinity pool were added to the grounds. But it was not the literary or musical pedigree of GoldenEye, nor its elaborate refurbishment, that brought me here. It was Iona Wynter Parks, who sounds like a Bond character but is in fact an Olympic triathlete and, when I was there, head of GoldenEye's impressive spa and education programs, which are designed to shake guests out of their loungers, and, whether from a Jet Ski, kayak, or mountain bike, show them Jamaica's verdurous backyard.
My friend Luisa joined me for this leg of my sporting odyssey, which was appropriate because it was she who had taught me to run. Soon after I had moved from London to New York, Luisa persuaded me to accompany her on a three-mile jog in Central Park. She saw promise in my ungainly gait and declared me a natural. I now run (outside) three times a week.
A half-hour canter along Manhattan's East River and a no-holds-barred day of exertion with an Olympic triathlete, however, are not in the same league. Plus, we were in Jamaica, and it was steamy and hot. Despite the fact that we had devoured jelly coconuts the previous day—said to "put lead in the pencil"—our Lycra-clad knees were knocking as we met Iona for our first sporting task: a couple of laps around the grounds.
Wynter Parks, who is half Jamaican and half German and wears sportswear as if it were haute couture, had cycled, run, and swum her way through the first Olympic triathlon in Sydney in 2000, and Chris Blackwell had acted as her unofficial sponsor, dropping money surreptitiously into her bank account. Back then, going to the Olympics as a Jamaican triathlete was, she says, a concept as alien as "flying to the moon."
Wynter Parks was clearly flourishing on her home turf, if the fearsome pace at which she set off was anything to go by. Chickens squawked and scrambled for cover as she passed, and Luisa and I struggled to keep up. The "warm-up" run over, we moved to the top floor of Bizot Bar, with the ocean as backdrop, for a core workout—which involved contorting ourselves into bizarre positions that ranged from the yogic downward dog to an arms-outstretched Superman. The core muscles, she explained, are the body's hard drive, without which most sports are impossible. I had my own personal victory when I managed, momentarily, to execute a perfect crab pose. I was sure Wynter Parks was impressed, and I had high hopes for part three, the seventeen-mile cycle ride.
Our marathon (almost) mountain-biking expedition revealed another benefit of an action-packed vacation: sightseeing. As our unlikely convoy—Wynter Parks, Luisa, Dave (one half of "the Twinnies," six foot four, baby dreadlocked, amber-eyed identical twins, both of whom work at GoldenEye), and I—pedaled up what felt like Mount Everest toward Firefly, Noël Coward's clifftop cottage, we passed such establishments as Doctor Bones Function Junction jerk chicken counter and Tweezer's Grocery, each painted a jauntier combination of pastels and primary colors than the last, and hung a right at Janet's Drive Through Beauty Salon.
Two island hotels—GoldenEye and Jamaica Inn—offer sporting options for thrillseekers and landlubbers alike.
By the time we'd shifted our gears as low as they'd go for the final few precipitous miles, sweat was coursing down our arms and legs in sunblock-streaked rivulets. And then, abruptly, I ran out of juice. As the rest of the team continued to pedal deliberately up the mountain, I hovered, my body convulsing in whooping cough–like breaths. The heat, the distance, and the incline had overpowered me.
I quivered there for a few minutes, weighing the humiliating options—freewheel to the bottom or stay clinging to the hillside and await their triumphant return—until Wynter Parks turned to look back. Her disappointed gaze was enough to shake me from my stasis: I dug deep, as athletes say, and found a last morsel of energy in my spent calves. Somehow I made it to the summit. It was worth it—for the beam of approval, the buzz of achievement (those endorphins again), and the view, reputedly the best on the island: jungly swaths, beach below, and endless sea. And then there was Firefly. Noël Coward died almost forty years ago and is buried on the estate, but the walls of his cottage are still lined with faded photographs, bookshelves, and tchotchkes, as if he'd just nipped out for the newspaper.
That evening, we spent a few lazy hours paddling our kayaks around the lagoon, where we failed to see its lone black sea horse inhabitant, and drifting on the ocean, where we glimpsed a pair of dolphins bowing from the silky surface. GoldenEye and its quixotic slice of the island were beginning to feel like Disneyland.
But forget mountain biking and running: It was our journey to the airport that gave my heart rate the wildest spike. An hour and a half into our car transfer from GoldenEye into Kingston, on the southeast of the island, I noticed a sign to Montego Bay, location of Jamaica's other main airport, on the northwest. "We are going to Kingston, aren't we?" I asked the driver. We were not. After a heated exchange, a shrieking halt, a U-turn, a couple of staccato phone calls, some speeding, blue flashing lights, a reprieve, and some more speeding (he was bold, our taxi driver), we were back in Ocho Rios. There we boarded a private two-passenger plane, courtesy of the hotel, and were spirited over Jamaica's deep-green, forested interior, watching our aircraft's tiny shadow dart beneath us, before Kingston's coral, gray, and rusty-pink mosaic sprawl appeared. We arrived at the airport with seconds to spare before Luisa's flight to New York and mine to Barbados. It was, as Luisa remarked, very James Bond.
The hotels, restaurants, and beaches you need to know for the perfect surf vacation.
Barbados, my last port of call, did not scream sporting pursuits, apart from divot stomping and listening to the thwack of leather on willow generated by a game of cricket. But the east coast of Barbados is to the five-star-spangled west coast what Montauk once was to East Hampton—it's a locals' place that few tourists infiltrate. Physically the coasts have nothing in common but water: The eastern, Atlantic shore is punctuated with vast boulders that line up on the horizon like vertebrae. I would not have been in the least surprised to have seen a Tyrannosaurus rex galumph from behind one of them. And one of the world's greatest surfing breaks, the Soup Bowl, rolls onto the beach beside the village of Bathsheba.
The Soup Bowl is an expert-level break, and despite the hours I have spent astride a longboard off Montauk and elsewhere, I am not an expert surfer. So I decided to take a lesson from Alan Burke, seventh-generation Barbadian. His people were indentured servants (which I was told does not mean they had false teeth) from Galway, Ireland, and he was a friend of the world's greatest surfer ever, Kelly Slater. Alan took my friend Jill, my companion for the final leg of the trip, and me to South Point, a left-breaking wave at the southern tip of the island, and we went through the usual rigmarole of popping up on our boards on dry land, using Alan's signature screw-kick method, which carried a "hundred percent guarantee" of your standing—you curl your left leg before leaping to your feet, rather than doing it in one continuous movement.
I wasn't sure whether it was the screw kick or the fact that the waves were small easy-riders and the surfboard Alan had given me was the size of a truck, but I did indeed manage to stand up. The jolt of exhilaration I felt hurling toward the rocky shore was amplified by an exotic view of ice cream–hued buildings and coconut palms, and for the next couple of hours the waves and I fell into a symbiotic rhythm of drifting, paddling, catching, and riding.
But then things got a little dicey: I became ensnared in a riptide close to a rock that resembled a serpent's head. The gallant Alan followed me into the rip and instructed me to paddle with all my might in order to be released from its grip. As I attempted to escape, the waves lashed my chest and thrust the two triangles that were the sum total of my bikini top asunder. I was faced with a fundamental dilemma: Should I preserve my modesty or my life?
Eventually, we were out. I'd had enough of dicing with death, so I made my way to shore, only to be thwarted by a vicious leg cramp en route. Alan, meanwhile, took great pleasure in telling me that my efforts at propriety had been in vain. I resolved to find a wet suit before tackling the Soup Bowl.
That afternoon, Jill and I drove to the Good to Go Café, owned by Alan's surfing rival Zed Layson, to get more intel on the monster wave. Zed—so named because when he was born, weighing almost ten pounds and with two teeth, his exhausted mother had declared him her last child of three—had lived on Barbados all his life and had been surfing the Soup Bowl for thirty-four years and had been teaching the sport to "high-strung economic slaves" from London and New York for ten.
The next day, after a circuitous drive across the belly of the island—past cornfields, very few houses, and even fewer signposts—I sat between faded red flags on the coconut-littered Soup Bowl beach. To my left and right, children were doing what children are preconditioned to do on beaches all over the world: dig holes, build sand castles, and bury one another up to the neck in sand. In front of me, the Soup Bowl roared. The wave is at its most ferocious in September and October, during hurricane season. Steep, powerful, and clean, it can reach fifteen feet and feel, said Zed, "as if the whole ocean is unleashing on the reef."
Today it was less than half that, but smarting from my riptide takedown, I decided that was still too high for me. Had I fallen at the last hurdle of my Caribbean challenge? No, because its purpose had already been achieved. My cell phone had remained dormant for days; I couldn't even be sure where it was. I felt transported, relaxed, ready for reality—and my glutes felt a little tighter, too.
So instead, Jill and I turned spectators and watched two boys of no more than seven engage in an elaborate warm-up routine before picking up their five-foot boards and joining lithe, blond ponytailed tweens in the swell. It was the Caribbean equivalent of a Sunday afternoon at the local baseball field. We were the only tourists on this wild beach, and for a moment I understood exactly why his Barbadian experience had persuaded one of Zed's clients to quit the rat race. Jill, however, was not so sure. "I am craving a manicure and a deep-conditioning treatment right now," she said.
The next morning was our last in the Caribbean. After a deep sleep, thanks to the tidal lullaby that crested through my hotel room's open window, I set off on a jog. Instead of plugging myself into my iPod as I do when I run in New York, I gave my ears the waves. And instead of the thunderous FDR Drive to the left and the gray, greasy East River to the right, I saw couples taking pre-work dips and children careening into the water with their shortboards. The sky was an inscrutable mottled blue; the tide was dancing at the ankles of the mushroom rocks. And all I thought about was what was right in front of me: the road, which petered into a pebbly path, the palm trees, and the ocean.

Maniacally inventive and tightly packed, if not overpacked, "The Pirates! Band of Misfits" comes from the Aardman animation folks behind Wallace & Gromit, "Chicken Run" and, more recently, "Arthur Christmas." Their latest may be easier to admire than to love; it's more tone-funny and incidental-muttered-aside funny than, for example, your average DreamWorks smash, where every other comic beat ends with a cartoon animal getting bashed in the nethers and then quoting some inappropriate gangster movie.
But a few hours after seeing the 3-D version of "The Pirates!" I was smiling at the memory of the best bits, some so fleeting they practically dare an audience to catch them on the fly. Director Peter Lord works in an interesting mixture of stop-motion and digital animation.
Also, I like the notion of high seas scalawags who are essentially lousy at their jobs, and who may plunder and occasionally kill, but are sociable and easygoing and take their cue from the good-time bloke running the show, the Pirate Captain voiced by Hugh Grant.
The Pirate Captain boasts an oft-admired "luxuriant" red beard and a unique shipboard mascot, a "big-boned" parrot named Polly who is actually a dodo. The plot, adapted by screenwriter Gideon Defoe from his 2004 jape "The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists," is a silly thing, involving the Captain's quest to become Pirate of the Year.
Spying the dodo, naturalist Charles Darwin ("Chuck" to the Captain; the Captain also calls the diabolical villainess Queen Victoria "Vicky") plots a kidnapping so he can present his finding to his peers and win his own share of glory.
On the page, Defoe's story is wonderfully dry and consistently droll. The movie has those same qualities, though the scale of the action feels a bit frantic. Some of the high-velocity set pieces are tiring and tend to sit on the fun. (The soundtrack at the screening I attended was set at "Xelerator hand dryer" levels.) The visual detail in "The Pirates!" is really something, yet I wonder if all the bustle tends to encourage younger viewers to tune out rather than lean in.
That said, the Aardman people can always be counted on for such felicities as Darwin's simian factotum, the silent Mr. Bobo. The monkey communicates by way of flashcards. Alarmed by the latest turn in the plot, he flashes a card saying "BUT ..." and then, exhorted to shush by his employer, he quickly flashes a second card reading "but ..." At the scientific discovery competition, the settings on the applause-o-meter include "rather fusty" and, on the high end, "ladies fainting." Uneven but rollicking, "The Pirates!" has a personality to call its own. The paperback edition of Defoe's book, delightfully, is appended by a faux-list of other titles in the "Pirates!" series. Among them: "The Pirates! In an Adventure with Your Mother"; "The Pirates! In an Adventure with Risk Management"; and "The Pirates' Rainy Day Indoors."

Manchester City chief executive Garry Cook has resigned over allegations he sent an offensive email that made light of a cancer sufferer's plight.
The email, meant for City's director of football Brian Marwood, reached Dr Anthonia Onuoha, the mother of City defender Nedum Onuoha at a time she was both recovering from cancer and negotiating her son's future at the club last October, The Guardian reports.
Dr Onuoha sent Marwood and Cook a message at the time stating that although she was "ravaged with cancer" she would still be negotiating on behalf of her son. She received a reply from the club in response addressed to "Brian", that said: "Ravaged with it!! ... I don't know how you sleep at night. You used to be such a nice man when I worked with you at Nike. G."
The email returned to embarrass the club 10 months after it was sent when Dr Onuoha went to The Sun to tell the paper of her hurt and distress.
Dr Onuoha told The Sun: "When I opened my emails and saw the message, it was the worst day of my life, even worse than being diagnosed with cancer. I couldn't understand how anybody could behave like that. I just cried and cried for hours. I'm critically ill and at that point I was undergoing chemotherapy. I was just so shocked but I couldn't tell Nedum or any of my family because I didn't know how they would react."
Cook initially claimed that an unidentified hacker had sent the contentious email, and that the culprit had been identified and disciplined. However an internal investigation by the club, which is seeking to build a global brand and sensitive of its reputation, dismissed this line.
Following the investigation, Cook admitted an "error of judgement" and tendered his resignation, which has been accepted, as a MCFC statement explains.
Cook is credited with doing a very good job during his three years at Manchester City, despite the occasional gaffe. For example, he built a shelter for supporters queuing outside the ticket office after seeing fans queuing in the rain.
His blunders included describing controversial former City owner Thaksin Shinawatra as a "great guy to play golf with". He also raised eyebrows with claims that former world football player of the year Kaka "bottled it" in deciding not to move to Eastlands from AC Milan in January 2009. ®
We wouldn't be surprised in the least if the incident was used to sell Data Leak Prevention technology, a filtering technology designed to block the accidental or deliberate extraction of sensitive content outside corporate boundaries, to Manchester City.

Man defense is back, forehand hucks are rolling from sweaty fingers, and the fair-weather ultimate fans are back on the scene. This year we have 12 teams, each with its own special superheroes. Some teams are fast, some teams are experienced, and some teams win boat races. For these predictions, I'm ranking based on how I think that they'll end up at the end of the regular season. So...without further ado....here we go... Summer League 2016 Predictions 1) Wonder Woman captained by Drew This team has a good mixture of athleticism and experience. Drew, Andrea and Andrew Taylor will provide the athleticism centered around Casey Boy, while Dr Doug, Bitler, Bob Lee provide a great supporting cast of experience to go along with it. This team is deeper than Justin Schoenbaum's future cuts for Abe Coffin. 2) Green Arrow captained by Sam Franklin Sam's strategy: Young, fast, and defense. If you don't run hard, you don't make Sam Franklin's team. Spencer Patterson is only a freshman at JBU and he's already the ringer for a Summer League team. Cameron and Spencer have began a good chemistry on the field of recent, and that will continue to grow after this league. Lmac and Cam should have mismatches to throw to all season, and combine that with the shutdown defense this team plans to run, and I think they got a chance to take the championship. One name you don't know yet, that you certainly will soon.....Levi....Schroeder. 3) The Joker captained by Clay Solid, solid, solid. Derek Carter, Austin, Clay, Hannah Cole, T Rav. This team is going to do well. Expect this team to run a good zone defense even in a summer league with less wind. Question is, can a team led by Clay survive without the boom box? 4) Cyborg captained by Will Sharp A lot of these upcoming teams are hard to rank higher than the other, but Will gets the nod from historical performance as a captain, and the fact his super hero is Cyborg. No way I'm putting Cyborg lower than 4. A Will Sharp team is a lot like a Jody Ayers team....at first glance the team doesn't look as deep, or like it has as many top talent players as some others, but it never matters because of who is captaining. That's not to say Will didn't draft a good team, because he certainly did...I guess I'm just saying he does a good job of getting every ounce out of his team that he has (like Jody does). 5) Batman captained by Kara Drew Taylor is a monster, and this team has a supporting cast that could make a real run. It'll come down to how well the bench plays, some of them will have some tough match ups against opposing teams. 6) Robin captained by Mary https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BZwuTo7zKM8&autoplay=1 7) Deathstroke captained by Maddy Not a bad team, just not a great one either. They'll win some they shouldn't, and lose some they shouldn't, and it'll all pan out at the end of the season putting them right where they should be. Smack dab in the middle of the pack. 8 ) Green Lantern captained by Jody Ayers Abe and Jody won as Green Lantern once didn't they? Well they won't again. Jody showed at ADA he can't lead a less talented team to a Finals EVERY time. Doubt has set in. I'm beginning to wonder if Jody reads these predictions in his huddles to fire up his team..... 9) Black Canary captained by Adeeb Adeeb has been killing it on the ultimate field recently. Unfortunately it's hard to kill it on the ultimate field when all of the hucks are going out of bounds. 10) Aquaman captained by Elaina It's ironic that before the draft I thought Aquaman should be a slow team, and that sure enough is exactly what occurred. Elaina, Dylan is fast, but why do that to a man you love? Why? Whyyyy?!? 11) Superman captained by Kyle Dyer Just like Clark Kent, the JBU summer league team is as boring as they come. 12) Flash captained by Allegra I only know four guys on this team total. I'm not kidding. _________________Don't ask "can i?" Ask "i can."

Special Snacks
Follow your nose as you drift through these legendary food markets: mmm. But every market has its own, very special snack that the pleasure-hungry visitor should not miss.
Barcelona: Tantalizing Tapas
Homemakers, master chefs, tourists – you will see them all at the Catalonian capital's Boqueria market. The place is always crowded, especially in front of Pinotxo, Juanito Bayen's stall. The man with the signature bow tie is a local celebrity for tapas that are a veritable revelation.
Melbourne: jam doughnuts
A trip to Melbourne without a visit to Queen Victoria Market? Impossible. Once you've arrived at the seven-hectare market, you really should give in to the temptations of the legendary American Doughnut Kitchen. The jelly-filled ones are best.
Washington: Savor the Stacks
Off to the USA for the presidential election? To keep your nerve, head for Market Lunch in the Eastern Market on Capitol Hill, and order the divine buckwheat blueberry pancakes. In a time of tough choices, this is an easy one to make.

This new addition to the Cricut Family was just announced at the Craft and Hobby Association convention. From what I have heard, you will be able to use the Imagine AND the regular cartridges in this new machine. It is also digital and you can save settings . . . so if you always set the machine the same way to cut vinyl, just save it so you don't have to mess with the settings every time. Here is a little video on the new machine.
It will be on sale at HSN starting April 26th at midnight.
And, coming soon . . . cute little Cricut toys.

All roads lead to Odessa
I always wanted to visit Odessa but so far have never managed it. This year I got a little bit closer to the Pearl on the Black Sea. Or am I already there? A daughter of the city is sitting beside me in a lovely white lace bra. I no longer need to travel to the Ukraine because since she has been with me, every little stroll has been a dream trip. My subject for today: the journey to love. We walked together through the first snow of winter and I didn't feel the cold. We stopped for a bite to eat at a small corner place on the outskirts of the city, far from the glamour of the Café Americain in Amsterdam, the Café de France in Marrakech, or the Cafè de l'Òpera in Barcelona. It was a perfectly ordinary day in the fog but for me, the rest of the world could go hang. When you're in love, you don't need sunsets over Sugarloaf Mountain, desert skies, or bridges over canals. For us right now, Venice is everywhere. That makes travel easier, but not cheaper – the Agent Provocateur stockings I bought her yesterday cost almost as much as a flight to Rome. And for the basque, I could have flown to Rio. But who said love was cheap? Or not an adventure? Or without risk? There's still no insurance for the cruising altitude of emotions, the seven-league boots of happiness, for the jungle – or rather, the rainforest – of desire. But there is faith, hope and will. We believe in our will and trust in God that love may walk, or drink coffee, or cross frontiers with us forever. Then all roads will lead to Odessa.

This fabulous product is for (according to the box) sealing eyeliner, shadow, lipstick, blush, brow & more. I purchased it to use for eyeliner, haven't tried it on my lips or anything else yet. I added a drop to the little container then dabbed in my MAC 210 brush and used it with Infallible Eternal Black. It came out very black and made the sparkles stand out. I really like it, it does make liner last and last. Can also be used to foil eyeshadow but I haven't tried that out yet. Comes with a container for mixing and a brush.
I recommend it to anybody who loves using eyeshadow as eyeliner but wants it to be more vibrant and last longer.
Purchased at Target. Located on the bottom section. Also available here

Ladies and gents, a new wave of mobile displays is upon us — ones with resolutions that rival an HDTV's. Ortus Technology has what it claims is the world's smallest full HD 1080p 4.8-inch display boasting a 1920x1080 resolution. That Retina Display in the iPhone 4 now looks kind of crummy, doesn't it?
While most new mobile devices coming out today have the ability to playback and in some cases even shoot 1080p video, unless connected to an HD monitor, viewing content on a small screen is negligible because no smartphone or tablet display have a full 1080p display (except that new one by Samsung). Ortus' screen even bests Hitachi's 4.5-inch 1280x720 resolution screen.
Ultimately, with such dense screens — the 4.8-inch screen has 458 pixels per inch — everything viewed on it is going to look sharper. Pixels will be virtually undetectable just like on a Retina Display. Theres even the option to add on a polarizing film to convert the screen into a glasses-free 3D one, but like all 3D, the vertical resolution gets halved.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
All in all, the screen is still damned impressive and its size can only get smaller. I can only imagine future PlayBooks, iPhones and Sony NGP's with screens of such high-resolution. When those devices drop, we'll really be living in the high-def future.

For all the jasmine lovers, you are in for a treat. Art of Tea now carries Jasmine Rings exclusively until our supply runs out. This premium green tea from Fujian, China is similar in quality and flavor to Jasmine Pearls. As the jasmine flowers naturally impart a lasting aroma and flavor, the effect is more intense in the Jasmine Rings. Supreme quality green tea leaves alone (unlike Jasmine Pearls, which contain the leaf and bud) are handpicked and carefully hand rolled into rings.
As I cupped the tea, I noticed the dry, silvery and pearly green leaves that formed into unique, varying ringlets. I watched the leaves unfurl slightly as I poured the hot water over them. The steeped leaves were just as beautiful dry because the ringlets were still intact but looser. The leaves were a brownish green and engulfed by the jasmine's fresh and organic floral scent. I took one sip, and I was immediately overwhelmed with the floral notes of the jasmine. This tea is so delicate and pure that a mere two minutes is just the right amount of time to infuse.
I also re-steeped the rings twice more. With each steep, it was entertaining to see how the ringlets uncurled further and still released a consistently robust jasmine perfume. The re-steeped leaves had a more mild and balanced jasmine flavor that wasn't quite as overpowering as my first steep. I found the tea to taste better each time.

Milwaukee Opera Theatre rocks the art song with 'Guns N' Rosenkavalier'
Next weekend, baritone Andrew Wilkowske, fresh from a role with the Florentine Opera, will stand amid the crystal chandeliers of the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music's lovely recital hall, open his mouth . . .
. . . and let fly the opening lines of Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now," followed by a few power chords on his electric guitar.
Whoa! Does the board of directors know about this? To paraphrase Vince Lombardi, what the heck's going on out here?
The "Guns N' Rosenkavalier" concert featuring Wilkowske, pianist Ruben Piirainen and horn quartet Genghis Barbie is just the latest example of Milwaukee Opera Theatre staging surprising music in surprising places.
Wilkowske will sing a program that includes both rock songs (R.E.M., Van Halen, Bruce Springsteen, Kate Bush, Guns N' Roses) and classical art song (Schubert, Schumann, Fauré, Brahms, Strauss).
Headbangers who have wandered into this article may ask, what's an art song? "Poetry set to music," said MOT artistic director Jill Anna Ponasik.
A song by Gabriel Fauré may be saying the same thing as a Michael Stipe song, Ponasik said: "This is a sad bastard pining over a girl he can't have."
"Of course they're different," Ponasik said of the art song and rock genres. "We're just trying to ask, 'How different?' Maybe they're not as far apart as we think."
Singer-centered approach
"Guns N' Rosenkavalier" exemplifies the singer-centered approach Milwaukee Opera Theatre has practiced since Ponasik became its artistic director in late 2008.
She and Wilkowske had brunch together while both were singing in the Skylight Music Theatre's production of "The Rivals." Wilkowske told her about a project he worked on with composer John Glover, then mentioned in passing how he'd daydreamed with Glover about a recital in which he'd sing rock songs like they were art songs. "I always wanted to do it, but the opportunity never came up," she reported Wilkowske saying.
"That's sort of how I put seasons together. I listen for when people say things like that," Ponasik said.
Wilkowske and Glover sent her a spreadsheet with more than 250 songs on it, "narrowed down" from their initial conversations. Ponasik and her young son spent the first months of the summer listening to every song.
She encouraged the vocalist to choose three kinds of songs, both rock and classical, for the program: "songs you feel you can't live without singing," songs that are perfect examples of their genre, and "songs you think would make the audience wet their pants."
In addition to singing everything, Wilkowske will play some guitar and piano. Piirainen will play both traditional and toy pianos. Genghis Barbie, which bills itself as "the leading post-post-feminist feminist all-female horn experience," will accompany Wilkowske on some songs (such as the R.E.M. number "Nightswimming") and play some segments of its own.
A season of variety
"Guns N' Rosenkavalier" falls in the middle of a Milwaukee Opera Theatre season striking in its variety, creativity, embrace of collaboration and portability. It opened with bare-bones stagings of Bernstein's opera "Candide" in classrooms at Waukesha's Carroll University (with whom MOT has an ongoing partnership), the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, UWM and Pius XI High School. Then MOT presented the second stage in its multiyear "Eurydice Project" at Carroll, with the stated goal of developing a new production based on the classical myth.
Following "G N' R," MOT will join Present Music at UWM for the April 12-13 world premiere performances of "Judgment of Midas," an opera by composer Kamran Ince and librettist Miriam Seidel. MOT will close its season April 25-27 in collaboration with Danceworks Performance Company and the Milwaukee Chamber Orchestra, performing William Walton and Edith Sitwell's "Façade" in a striking location: the lobby of the Milwaukee Theatre.
Somehow, MOT also has found the time and energy to stage "One Stop Opera Shop," a free 45-minute show being presented in the Broadway Theatre Center bar after the Skylight's performances of "Pump Boys and Dinettes." Remaining "Opera Shop" shows begin about 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday; admission is free.
An 'omnivorous' appetite
Ponasik, a Waukesha native with degrees in vocal performance from Rice University and the University of Minnesota School of Music, was following a traditional track in opera for a mezzo-soprano, but deep inside had become unhappy about pursuing such a specialized path.
She described herself as having "a really omnivorous artistic appetite."
After she moved to New York, where her husband had a medical fellowship, she had a moment of personal and artistic crisis that brought her internal struggle to the forefront:
"I got a job out of town. My husband was in a fellowship and couldn't travel to see anything I was doing. I was in a show that I didn't think was particularly great and I was not making very much money and I had terrible debilitating stage fright."
She resolved to reorganize her life, especially her work, around the values that really mattered to her. When her husband landed a job in the Milwaukee area, she pursued freelance opportunities singing here, but also began working with MOT, first as a volunteer before becoming artistic director. "I fell in love with the organization," she said.
She took the $150 a week she had been spending on voice lessons in New York and invested it in a new program called Voice Lab, which gives singers the chance to work on material with a professional pianist and perform for supportive peers.
Some of Ponasik's programming for MOT grew out of discussions that began in Voice Lab. She also used the sessions to workshop "26," a collaboration with composer Nathan Wesselowski and choreographer Kelly Anderson that was Ponasik's first signature MOT show.
"We think of ourselves (as) a microbrewery for opera," Ponasik said. "We (make) small batches of high-quality, locally produced opera."
"We're obsessed with the local," said Ponasik, who remembers too well being lonely on the road, singing where no one knew her.
"Milwaukee deserves to have a thriving arts community. There should be composers living next door to us, just like there are plumbers and lawyers living next door to us." She sees MOT's mission as giving local singers opportunities and helping them develop.
When Ponasik talks about local culture, she's not just talking about people coming to see her company.
"I don't know anyone in town who sees more work by more diverse groups," said Dani Kuepper, artistic director of Danceworks Performance Company, a past and present MOT collaborator. "Theater, dance and music - (she's) a great supporter of all the arts, not just her own."
"I go to at least one, often up to three things a week if I can get away," Ponasik said.
"The work that is always most interesting to me is the work where genres have to talk to each other," she said.
In 2011, MOT joined Danceworks and the Milwaukee Chamber Orchestra to perform such a work, the tango operetta "Maria de Buenos Aires." Reviewer Elaine Schmidt called the program "a memorable evening that no one group could have created alone."
"So far she has been the driving force behind our collaborations," Kuepper said, describing Ponasik's leadership style as "very generous and easy."
Kuepper enjoys Ponasik's "quirky take on things," and appreciates the sense of humor that she brings into her work.
As for Ponasik, the woman who once defined herself as a singer said that this season she has only sung, on stage, a two-minute segment in the "Eurydice Project."
"I'm deeply fulfilled with the work I'm doing, the developmental behind-the-scenes work, and directing, which is surprising, something I never thought I'd do."
In a past workshop, Ponasik took part in a values assessment that led to the conclusion that personal growth was the most important quality to her.
"I approach every project (asking) how can the artists in it grow, what can I do to facilitate artistic growth?"

Worst misappropriation of funds: The tree firm formerly owned by Delegate Mitch Van Yahres filed a complaint a year ago against former bookkeeper Tracy Hammond and her husband, Ronald, seeking the return of $59,000 as well as $50,000 in punitive damages, according to Liesel Nowak in the Progress.
