Premiere April 2, 2011
Opera. Power struggles, impossible love and murder. Kerstin Avemo creates a moving impersonation of the unhappy Lucia in our first ever Donizetti opera.
Opera in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti (1797–1848).
Watch a movie from the performance.
Bel Canto – beautiful song – is a term originating in Italy, the home of opera. Gaetano Donizetti is seen as one of the most prominent of the 19th century composers of the Bel Canto genre. In his popular opera Lucia di Lammermoor, shown for the first time at The Göteborg Opera, the soprano passages of the title role are dizzyingly beautiful – and master pieces of virtuosity.
This production was a success when it premiered at the English National Opera in 2008, directed by award winning director David Alden, and was performed again in February 2010. The story takes place in ghostly castle milieus and tells of a power struggle between two families, impossible love versus economical interests and forced marriages with deadly consequences.
Watch pictures from the performance.
Lucia is sung by coloratura soprano Kerstin Avemo, much in demand internationally, not least because of her success in this role. Many will remember her hypnotic Lulu in Alban Berg's opera of the same name which was performed at The Göteborg Opera in 2002. Now she plays the tragic heroine who is driven to insanity and, as author and philosopher Cathérine Clément says "dances with her desires".
Lucia's beloved, Edgardo, is sung by tenor Bülent Bezdüz, whose impression of Rodolfo in Bohème at The Göteborg Opera in 2008/2009 was very impressive. First guest conductor Giancarlo Andretta will lead the orchestra and in accordance with Donizetti's original intentions we have included something as unusual as a glass harmonica in the orchestra.
Watch a movie from the rehearsal.
This happens in Lucia di Lammermoor:
The libretto is based on Walter Scott's 1819 novel, the Bride of Lammermoor, and can be characterised as a Romeo-and-Juliet story situated in 17th century Scotland.
The Ashton and Ravenswood families have long been entangled in a family feud. Enrico Ashton caused the death of Edgardo Ravenswood's father and has taken over the Ravenswood family castle in Scotland. Faced with a political shift in Scotland and family economic difficulties, Enrico needs to safeguard his position. He wants to achieve this by marrying off his sister Lucia to the famous and influential Arturo Bucklaw. But Lucia and Edgardo have secretly fallen in love and meet each night close to the castle.
Act I, Scene 1
Enrico's suspicions are confirmed by his henchman Normanno and a couple of hunters: Lucia has fallen in love with his enemy Edgardo and meets him in secret. Enrico realises that he needs to act quickly if he wants to be able to marry off Lucia with Arturo.
Act I, Scene 2
Lucia's confidante Alisa warns her about meeting up with Edgardo, and says it can only end badly. But Lucia does not listen to her warnings, instead telling her of a ghost she believes she has seen by the fountain in the castle grounds. The ghost is believed to be that of a young woman from the Ashton family, who was murdered by her beloved, a man from the Ravenswood family. Edgardo arrives and Alisa leaves to stand guard. Edgardo is about to leave on a long trip to France, and wants to reconcile with Enrico and ask for Lucia's hand in marriage, but Lucia stops him: it is not yet the right time. They agree on a secret engagement and Edgardo promises to write to her every day.
AII, Scene 1
Several months have passed. Enrico has prevented Edgardo's letters from reaching Lucia. He has also forged other letters, which show that Edgardo has been unfaithful. He confronts Lucia with these letters, which makes her very upset. Considering the situation, her only option is to marry Arturo, Enrico states. Lucia goes to see her confessor Raimondo, who persuades her to give up and marry Arturo.
Act II, Scene 2
Arturo arrives at the castle and the wedding ceremony can start. When Arturo wonders why Lucia looks so pale and unhappy, it is said to be due to her mother recently passing away. The despairing Lucia signs the marriage contract, but at that exact moment Edgardo unexpectedly arrives to ask for Lucia as his bride. Enrico, Edgardo and Arturo draw their swords, but are calmed down by Raimondo. When Edgardo understands that Lucia has married another man, he throws the engagement ring at her, cursing both Lucia and his own destiny.
Act III, Scene 1
The same night, as a heavy storm is raging: Enrico arrives to a tower on the castle grounds, which is still in the possession of Edgardo, in order to challenge him to a duel. Edgardo accepts and they agree to meet at the Ravenswood family cemetery at dawn.
Act III, Scene 2
In the castle, the wedding festivities are still under way, although the bride and groom have retreated to their room. Raimondo arrives and interrupts the festive mood by announcing that Lucia has murdered her husband and gone mad. The guests are frightened, and shortly after Lucia enters. She believes she is reliving the wedding, but this time Edgardo is the groom. In her mind she also sees the ghost from the fountain in the first act, which is keeping them apart. When Enrico runs in, she believes he is Edgardo and apologises for signing the marriage contract, assuring him that she is the only man she has ever loved. Finally she collapses in front of the terrified onlookers.
Act III, Scene 3
At the family cemetery, Edgardo is waiting for Enrico as agreed, in order for them to duel at dawn. But instead some wedding guests arrive and tell him of the terrible events, and that all Lucia can talk about is her love for him. When Edgardo wants to run to see her, he is stopped by Raimondo and the sound of a death bell. Lucia has departed from mortal life, and before anyone can stop him Raimondo sticks a dagger in his chest in order to be reunited with his beloved.
Glass harmonica - a genius way to illustrate insanity.
Ahead of the world première of Lucia di Lammermoor in Naples in 1835, composer Gaetano Donizetti was planning to use the glass harmonica for the opera's Mad Scene. This can be seen in his original handwritten score. Unfortunately, nobody able to play the instrument could be found in the Naples, and Donizetti was forced to replace it with a flute. The same issue occurred in all other cities where the opera was to be played and Donizetti finally gave up hope of being able to hear the opera performed as originally intended. The glass harmonica was constructed in 1736 by Benjamin Franklin and consists of rows of glass bowls in different sizes. These are placed on a horizontal shaft which is then lowered into a container of water by using a pedal, so that the glass bowls remain wet at all times. The player then touches the bowls with his/her fingers in order to produce the melody intended. The instrument operates on the same principles as that of rubbing the rim of a wine glass filled with water or wine. The size of the glass and the amount of liquid it is holding determines the tone produced. The timbre is impossible to reproduce by artificial means, such as by synthesizer. The sound produced is slightly frightening and hollow, and has been described as both heavenly and ghostly. The instrument soon came to be associated with insanity – those who touched or played the glass harmonica were seen as at risk of losing their minds. Thus Donizetti's idea of using it in Lucia's Mad Scene is nothing short of genius, especially considering that Lucia mentions the ghost she has seen above the fountain in the first act. The ghost is that of an ancestor who was murdered by her beloved.
Only recently has the glass harmonica started being used for certain performances of Lucia, starting in the 1960s when Beverly Sills performed the title role. In the complete version of her 1970 recording of Lucia with Thomas Schippers as conductor, Bruno Hoffman plays the difficult instrument. A short excerpt of this can be heard on our website. There is also a film clip of Beverly Sills on YouTube demonstrating the glass harmonica being played. The more modern construction of the glass harmonica, which is most commonly used nowadays, resembles a small organ and consists of a large number of vertical glass cylinders.
In David Alden's production for the English National Opera in 2008, the glass harmonica plays an important part of the staging. When this production is to be performed at the Göteborg Opera the instrument will of course be brought along – the first time the glass harmonica is used in a performance of Lucia on a Nordic opera stage. Only a few people in the world can play the glass harmonica, hence the same performers will alternate in Göteborg as in London: Sascha Reckert and Philipp Alexander Marguerre.
Beverly Sills introduces the Glass Harmonica.

When it comes to the dating game, a number of things should be considered as adult dating isn't the simplest thing in the world; for example, the title itself doesn't mean have fun while dating adults, but it represents the erotic aspect of the dating game. Still, the important part of the game is to have fun by allowing your naughty side to come out and play; women looking for fun may wear tight clothing or low cut tops to reveal a bit of cleavage and show men what they are missing. A more exposed area of the body would be the neck region, which is highly sensitive and the right kiss can give women sensations that leave them wanting more. However, adult dating isn't purely about the need for sexual satisfaction but exploring other people's bodies, fantasies and different types of pleasure.
When you're in a club or bar on the weekend, you enjoy your time out with friends, colleagues etc; in the same way, you can become the perfect date by relaxing and enjoying what you are doing, rather than focusing on why you are here; good dancers and cooks love cooking and dancing, this is why they are good at their professions. A more simple explanation of this would be that when you love and enjoying doing what you do, you tend to spend more time and effect doing it to get the best results possible. Look at the way gamers play video games, they spend endless hours in front of the t.v trying to get a higher score because they know the results will be rewarding; similarly, adult dating should be enjoyed and seen as a fun encounter- who knows what it could lead to. You may even end up meeting your life partner!
Although a lot of you date to meet your prospective life partners, date because it's fun, not because you have to. If it is not fun, then would you bother doing it?! No right? If you don't enjoying dating then don't just sit through another gruesome date, change it by doing something different. For those of you, who want to cut to the chase and forget the wining and dining part, try erotic adult dating, which is exactly what it says on the tin-EROTIC. It's a form of dating that doesn't require dating; a bedroom, sexy lingerie and explicit fantasies will do.
Just a few last points for you to consider- when you date because you enjoy it you allow others to feel good about themselves, also giving you a more than likely chance of a second or third date. When you represent yourself as a fun and happy person, other people will love to bag a date you and before you know it, you'll be the most popular person in town. If this article sounds too good to be true, than go ahead and try enjoying your next date, you'll come back thanking the author.

Presley's greedy
Shirley Presley shows her complete lack of respect for the community of Charlottesville by forcing Rivanna Trail users to make a long detour around her property. [June 17 "Quash game: How many subpoenas does a code violation need?"]
Her defender, Carolyn Reilly, claims this is necessary because of the dangerous times we live in.
If Presley is truly afraid of bogeymen coming to get her (notice to Presley: bogeymen are not coming to get you), she could erect a fence while allowing people to cross the bottom four foot section of her property, or selling this tiny fraction of her land to the city.
Her other rationalization for her selfish act is to claim that this is about "property rights." No, it is about thinking of others besides yourself once in a while. (Reilly, a missionary, seems to have missed this part of Christianity.)
Presley strings up razor wire, hires a belligerent attorney, will not make any compromise with the city, and then wonders why scorn is heaped upon her.
If she comes to the realization that this is not about an evil Rivanna Trail Foundation but rather about the greater good of the city of Charlottesville, Presley might then find that the community has a much different opinion of her.
Why not step off your private fortress into a community that would embrace your generosity?

Technology that lets users pay for products and services using their mobile phone as a virtual wallet is being trialled at Manchester City's football ground this season.
Some 200 season ticket holders are using Nokia 3320 handsets containing a chip that is read by a scanner as they pass through the gates.
The technology, known as Near Field Communication (or NFC) technology, lets users buy small value tokens that are stored on their handsets until used. Nokia hopes that this technology will be incorporated into handsets next year.
NXP Semiconductors , the company behind the technology used in the Manchester City trial, also provides the technology for the Oyster card system in London.
The company believes that handsets will replace Oyster cards in the next few years. It says that the token system is safe, as the money can be deactivated should the handset be stolen. And the process of adding credit to the phone is protected by a PIN code so that a thief can't withdraw cash to the handset.
Similar technology is already being implemented on bullet trains in Japan with some Motorola handsets.

First lady Michelle Obama didn't take well to being shouted down by a protester Tuesday.
Michelle Obama confronted a gay-rights protester who heckled her at a Democratic fundraiser in Washington on Tuesday, offering to give her the microphone and leave, before the crowd cheered for the first lady to stay.
Obama was 12 minutes into a planned 20-minute speech at a couple's home when a woman standing at the front of the small crowd interrupted, demanding that President Barack Obama sign an executive order on gay rights.
"One of the things I don't do well is this," the first lady said before walking down from the lectern and approaching the protester, according to a pool reporter covering the event.
Obama told the woman that people gathered in the backyard tent could "listen to me or you can take the mic, but I'm leaving," before telling the crowd, "You all decide. You have one choice."
At that, the crowd began chanting for Obama to stay as one woman told the protester, "You need to leave."
The woman was escorted out, shouting that she was a "lesbian looking for federal equality before I die."
Obama then returned to the lectern and finished her speech, getting loud applause as she did.
Those in attendance, apparently including the protester, had paid $500 to $10,000 for tickets to the event, which was held at the home of power couple Karen Dixon and Nan Schaffer.
The heckler was identified as Ellen Sturtz, an activist with the GetEQUAL campaign group, which campaigns for lesbian and gay rights, by several media.
Sturtz told The Washington Post that she was surprised by the first lady's actions.
"She came right down in my face," Sturtz said. "I was taken aback."

The Sunday after the Ascension
By Fr. Patrick Reardon
There are two stories in Holy Scripture that end with an unanswered proposition: the Book of Jonah and the parable of the Prodigal Son. The drama in both these stories builds to the propositions with which they end. That is to say, it is the point of the stories themselves. In each case, moreover, this proposition, which is directly put to a character in the story, is implicitly addressed to the reader as well.
This correspondence between the two narratives invites their further comparison. In fact, they are similar in other respects.
First, they have the same theme: both are stories of the divine mercy bestowed on the unworthy—the Ninevites and the younger son, both of whom are described as sinners: Of the younger son we are told that he "wasted his possessions with prodigal living," the inheritance acquired by his father's lifetime of hard work (Luke 15:13). As for Nineveh, the story of Jonah begins by mentioning the wickedness of the place (Jonah 1:2).
In both accounts, nonetheless, the sinners are brought to repentance. Thus, the king in Nineveh decreed, "let everyone turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who can tell whether God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?" (Jonah 3:8-9) We learn also of the resolve of the parable's younger son: "I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son'" (Luke 15:18-19).
These humble expressions of repentance are immediately answered by the outpouring of the divine mercy. Thus, when the younger son "was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him" (15:20). As for the Ninevites, "God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it" (Jonah 3:10). In both cases, then, the sinners are forgiven and reconciled.
Second, each of these accounts involves an antagonist—Jonah and the older brother, both of them resentful that God's mercy is available to the repentant sinners. These antagonists, each described as "angry" about God's mercy (Jonah 4:1,4,9; Luke 15:28)), are essential to the drama. Since the final proposition in both stories—their intended point and purpose—is addressed to this angry resentment, a proper understanding of the two narratives requires that we examine these antagonists in detail.
First, the Book of Jonah is not really about Nineveh, but about Jonah. Nineveh, we are told, repented and was forgiven, but we are not so sure about Jonah. From the beginning, after all, Jonah resisted the divine intent to forgive Nineveh—even to the point of running away from the face of the Lord (1:3,10). Only when absolutely forced to do so, did Jonah give even a brief warning to the Ninevites: "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" (3:4)
It is essential to the story that Jonah did not want the Ninevites to repent. After all, the city was well known to be vile (Nahum 1:14), "full of lies and robbery" (3:1), the "mistress of sorceries" (3:4). Accordingly, self-righteous Jonah wanted its citizens to get exactly what they deserved, and what made him most uncomfortable was the fact that the Lord was "a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in loving kindness" (Jonah 4:2). Unable to appreciate the irony that he himself had been given a second chance when he was released from the belly of the sea monster, Jonah wanted no mercy shown to the Ninevites.
Second, the story of the Prodigal Son is not really about the younger son, but about his older brother, who resents the mercy shown to the repentant sinner. Like Jonah arguing with the Lord (Jonah 4:8-9), this self-righteous son finds fault with his father for showing such mercy (Luke 15:29-30).
The closing proposition in each case—"Should I not pity Nineveh?" and "It was right that we should make merry and be glad"—forces the reader himself into the place of the antagonist. Like Jonah and the older son, he is obliged to choose between a natural sense of retributive righteousness and the mercy manifest in God's acceptance of the sinner. He must decide whether to cling angrily to the blindfold of justice or to accept the possibility of a new heart. That is to say, the reader himself must repent.
Each story ends with this decision still open.

Building houses for hurricane victims is something I never had on my "dreams" list, but I really love it. I enjoy construction far more than the seemingly destructive tasks of parts of our last project. The men we work with are truly incredible- patient, kind, hard-working, loving, skilled.
How to delve into all that's been happening with me..
I've settled into being here (THE PROGRAM.. if I write the name of THE PROGRAM the higher-ups will find my blog, and we don't want that now do we!) and have found myself really enjoying the daily regimen of life this (Second) round. We live within a barbed-wire topped fence surrounded by a trailer park in our own double-wide with 6 sets of bunk beds, a sink/toilet room, and a tiny kitchen. And even this, this crazy, extreme closeness, I am finding enjoyable.
Last night I sat out on the picnic table with one of my teammates and shared half of a small, old cigar. The goal was to ask each other 20 questions. We only got through 2 in the hour we sat in the thick air: we talked about sex and we talked about Jesus. And my heart burned. And I felt alive.
I've been spending more time letting the LIFE flow into me... be it through the Word, through music, through sitting and waiting, going to any and every church I can find.. I'm so hungry for life.... life.... life.
He has me. I know He does. Even this, this crazy Ameri-Stint. He's building within me a sometimes desperate hunger and appreciation for His presence.
I'm not nearly as impressed by excellence as I am by anointing.. by the Spirit. I'm not so impressed by people anymore. I don't care so much about great music or great words. I just want Jesus. Give me Jesus. Just give me Jesus. Give me a room full of the presence of God, and please, please don't make me leave. I just want to be there.. for a very, very long time.
And this too is all a part of what He's building within me.
I have this assurance that one day very soon God is going to release all of this... all of these experiences.. all of the accumulation of His Spirit in my life. For right now this is it for me. For right now I work and serve my country, giving daily to people I didn't have any idea existed a few short months ago. For right now it's good.
(and for whatever comes next I am oooo excited!)

What is Radiant Floor Heating?
Radiant floor heating is a method of heating your home that circulates warm water underneath or within the floor. Comparable to warming yourself in the sun, this type of heating warms people and objects in contact with the floor, as opposed to raising the temperature of the air.
Radiant floor heating is not a new concept. In fact, it dates all the way back to ancient Roman times. It has been, and continues to be, used in many countries around the globe to effectively bring comfort in even the most extremely cold climates of the world.
Radiant floors can be used alone or in conjunction with a traditional forced-air heating system, and a radiant floor heating system is compatible under any type of floor covering — carpet, wood, slate, tile, stone, laminate, and even concrete — making design possibilities endless. And because it distributes heat evenly across each room, you don't have to crank up the thermostat to reach the chilliest corners. It's perfect for homes with vaulted ceilings or giant windows, which would otherwise waste heat.
Radiant vs. Forced Air
The water in a radiant system has a capacity to transport energy 3,500 times greater than air, so it can heat (and even cool) using less energy than a forced-air system. This amounts to greater comfort at a lower thermostat setting, which provides lower energy bills. In fact, more people are comfortable with radiant floor heating at a lower thermostat setting than with forced-air heating at a higher thermostat setting.

Becky Falls, Dartmoor, Devon - August 27, 1985
Becky Falls, originally known as Becka Falls is a tourist attraction in Dartmoor, England, centered on a waterfall of around 20 metres down a boulder-strewn bed.
The waterfall is on the Becka Brook, one of the main tributaries of the River Bovey. The brook rises just South of Hound Tor, and continues through Becky Falls before reaching the Bovey just below Trendlebere Down.
As the brook passes through, there are two sets of waterfalls created, with a drop of around 20 metres.
The falls were originally known as Becka Falls, including on Ordnance Survey maps up until the 1940s, but the name was changed to increase its appeal as a tourist attraction.
Grimspound Bronze Age Village, Dartmoor, Devon - October 05, 1985
Grimspound is a late Bronze Age settlement, situated on Dartmoor in Devon, England. It consists of a set of 24 hut circles surrounded by a low stone wall. The name was first recorded by the Reverend Richard Polwhele in 1797; it was probably derived from the Anglo-Saxon god of war, Grim (more commonly known as Woden, or Odin).
In 1893 an archaeological dig was carried out by the Dartmoor Exploration Committee, which recorded many details of Grimspound .
The Buckfast Butterfly Farm, Buckfastleigh, Devon - August 23, 1984
The Buckfastleigh Butterfly Farm was created in the 1980s as an additional attraction at the Dart Valley Railway being located adjacent to Buckfastleigh Station Car Park.

- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp golden caster sugar, or more to taste
Seal the biscuits in a plastic bag and crush them to fine crumbs with a rolling pin. Tip into a bowl and stir in the melted butter, mixing thoroughly so that all the crumbs are soaked. Now tip the mixture into a loose-bottomed 24cm round cake tin, at least 5cm deep, and press down with the back of a metal spoon to make an even layer over the bottom of the tin. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
Submerge the gelatine leaves in a dish of cold water, and leave to soak and soften for 5 minutes. Pour the single cream into a pan and bring just to the boil, then take off the heat. Take the gelatine leaves out of the water, give them a good squeeze to get rid of excess water, and stir one by one into the cream (they will dissolve instantly). Leave to cool for a few minutes.
Beat the cheese in a bowl with the sugar, lemon zest and juice until smooth and creamy. Mix in the cream and gelatine mixture and the chopped strawberries.
In another bowl, lightly whip the whipping or double cream so it falls in soft peaks, then fold it into the strawberry mixture. Whisk the egg white in a clean bowl until it forms stiff peaks, then fold gently into the cheese mixture. Pour into the cake tin and smooth down lightly. Chill for at least 21⁄2 hours until set.
To make the sauce, blitz all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Taste and add more sugar if needed, then pour into a jug and keep in the fridge until you're ready to serve. (Both cheesecake and sauce can be made a day ahead.)
To serve, run a knife between the cheesecake and the tin to loosen it, remove it from the tin, then take it off its base and put it on a serving plate. Halve the extra strawberries lengthways, pile them in the middle and serve with the jug of sauce.

Hello, I bought an interior wood kit from one of the big three to replace all the bad or missing wood in my 1926 Roadster. I received a box with a lot of pieces of wood and no directions as to where they go. Some pieces it was obvious as I had the old ones but it's the pieces for the seat and back of the seat I am struggling with. Do any of you have pictures of where these pieces go. Any help will be most appreciated! Thank you! Bob
From the late Bruce's CD.
Also search the forum as my roadster and several others are photographed with the interiors out of the body.
from Fordwood.com
Original wood
Pictures of body and wood
That's funny
We posted the same stuff.
For fasteners, note the original wood picture. The upper tack rail uses stove bolts, countersunk heads from the outside. And longer ones thru the tack rail and the three backrest supports, with washers and sq. nuts on the inside.
The lower ends of the three backrest pieces are tapered and fit to the lower tack strip with wood screws, single slot, countersunk head. The tack rail is held to the metal seat support riser with stove bolts and sq. nuts, drilled holes vertically on the lower tack rail. Nuts go under the folded over sheet metal riser.
Could someone explain how #671 is attached?
Have no idea. Can't think of any reason for a wood part as tack strip under the cowl.
The kick panel cardboard is held by clips on the metal riser, and tacks into the tack strip behind the hinge pillar (wood part #606)
Thank you, Dan. I could see no purpose for those blocks, but they came with the kit.
I want to sincerely thank all of you who responded to this inquiry! You have no idea how much help you have been!
A piece that came with the kit (#607) marked "seat bottom" does not appear to fit any place in the car. And just for the record the #671 piece was not included in the kit.
One more question about the interior. What limits the door travel. The doors on the car rotate 180 degrees and I am afraid one day both the cowl and the door are going to bang together with enough force to damage them both.
Add a 'check strap' to the door hinge pillar and the door.
Vendors make leather ones, or you can make your own with webbing or invert a piece of folded over upholstery vinyl, so you double up the strength.
Tack on side under the kick panel hardboard, and screw the other side to the door under the door panel. Adjust the length prior to fastening so that the check strap does its job.
Ford Body Parts p/n 5515X Strap (door) check was used up to 1925. Think that the Improved Cars dropped that strap, haven't seen original open cars with door checks.
But maybe they were there, there is no p/n for Improved Open Cars for a check strap, the Closed cars did have a check strap, p/n1882X, held with footman loops on the interior.
Mine are vinyl, but used nickel plated oval head screws with washers, its not factory, and Dixie the '27 touring is a mutt,... but works to keep the passengers from slinging open the doors with a bang!
I have to ask the question. Was there more than one body maker that made wood for the 26-27 bodies?
Anybody know?
By the Improved Car times, Ford was making all its open bodies and Coupes and Tudors, the Fordor was still outsourced to Briggs.
Those bodies were by then almost all steel, very little wood compared to the Fordor. Figure Ford made its own wood parts for the assembly line on the Improved Cars

It's been my goal this past year to find ways to slowly replace all the "chemical" products I use in my house. I've either been working on creating my own recipes for items or changed the brand of items I was buying (mainly my toothpaste!). I've got a all natural deodorant I've been using and I really like (it's almost ready to be launched!!). I've changed my facial moisturizers. And my next big change has been household cleaners.
I've been working on infusing different vinegar blends to create different scented vinegar cleaners. My first blend was "Orange, Grapefruit, Cloves, and Cinnamon." It's currently infusing.
Then at one of my events I was RIGHT across from a "Fresh Lemonade" stand. I saw them going through soooooooo many lemons so about half way through the day I went over and asked them what they were going to do with the rinds. They said "throw them out" so I was like can I have a box? They gladly gave me one (and would have given me more if I wanted).
This box had about 75 lemons in it and I spent hours removing the skins from the rind. I got three crammed pack bags of rinds! I used one bag to start four jars of infusions. The rest went in the freezer to use throughout the summer to make more infusions.
Then my friend has given me free access to her "fields of mint" (and I really meant fields of mint!!!!) whenever I need it.
So lemon-mint infusions are made! Now it's just a matter of waiting four weeks for them to be ready!
Next on the list are to get more oranges and limes (which I have a "source" for those too). Woohoo for resourcefulness! Between getting the rinds from people, the herbs/mint from friends and family all I've had to buy to make these are the spices (cloves and cinnamon sticks), vinegar and bottles. All in all not bad! Can't wait to use these!

Recently, I got an e-mail newsletter (from: company name redacted) – one of those that goes almost immediately to trash following a quick scan. What made me ROFL was this line:
Blogging is easy, usually free, and most importantly, fun!
Now, I am not perfect (well, am nearly 😉 ) and could use more self-blogging discipline, but whoever wrote that statement must've never blogged a single line in his/her life. It sure is ain't that easy (Oh, yeah, after all, I live in the South).
After working very hard (yet, effortlessly 😉 ) on diligently neglecting this dear child of a blog, let me recap the past 68 days. Yes, it's been that long – LinkedIn is very good at rubbing it in with their WordPress widget day counter. So, here are the CMSWire stories and happenings that have been on my radar in those 2+ months:
- Open Text unveiled its 2010 product roadmap at Open Text Content World in Orlando, highlighting many rebranding changes that are to come, including those for RedDot/Web Solutions and Vignette. The community still doesn't appear to be appeased. But business is business. In the meantime, I am revisiting Shakespeare's Hamlet in preparation for my next piece on Open Text planned for early January 2010.
- Open Text appeared in the news again with the announcement on expanding its ECM solutions portfolio for Oracle.
- IBM continued to focus on analytics as a way of better management of unstructured and structured content.
- Crownpeak integrated its SaaS CMS with the Website Optimizer Experiment Management API, which is based on Google Website Optimizer, alleviating the pains of tedious cut and pastes of those pesky JavaScript snippets into your content or templates.
- OmniUpdate continued to work the hi-ed crowd with new version 8.10 featuring multi-lingual and multi-output previews.
- Sitecore v6.2 saw the light of day (I, personally, wasn't much impressed) and took a bite of online engagement and social communities through Telligent Community integration.
- Ektron's "big guns," including the newest addition to the team Tom Wentworth, previously of Interwoven, showed off the new version 8 of CMS400.NET (yes, the one that was inelegantly leaked some time before the official release).
- Nstein walked me through their "New Kind of Site Search" with 3S (Semantic Site Search), interesting ideas there with multi-index federated search, embedded Text Mining Engine, semantic widgets and a more flexible presentation layer.
- CMS Watch sliced and diced the market in its Web CMS Report 2010.
- EPiServer entered into a partnership with Mediachase in order to add eCommerce capabilities to its Web CMS and Relate+ community platform offerings.
- Web publishing vendor WoodWing turned to celum for a DAM integration.
J. Boye '09 in Aarhus
While in the handsome town of Aarhus (aka the City of Smiles), heaps of content management fun were on the menu (topped off with duh! delish herring), including:
- Jarrod Gingras and Peter Sejersen's look into the pitfalls and best practices of selecting a CMS.
- McBoof, Janus Boye, et al's attempt to #fixwcm, while heatedly debating some of the inconvenient truths and challenges of the content management industry.
- David Nuesheler's of Day Software session on top 8 trends in web content management architecture and standards (CMIS, JCR 2.0, JSR-283).
- BJ Fogg's preso on "hot triggers," "cold triggers," persuasive technology and why Twitter and Facebook are winning.
- A myriad of fantastic, thought-provoking, brain-activity-inducing conversations in hallways, at dining tables, at social events, while braving the rain and the cold – you know who you are.
PS: I miss Århus. Thanks, Janus!
Gilbane Boston 2009
The who is who of content management came to Boston for the Gilbane conference. I was fortunate to moderate a Content Management in Practice session, and attended a few others:
- Content migration, the dirty little secret of content management, where content migration challenges, stumbling blocks and techniques to avoid them were discussed. One of the simplest, yet most often overlooked takeaways: Know your content.
- One of the hottest topics of the event – open source and its rise in content management. One little tidbit of info signaling a broader acceptance of open source even just looking at Gilbane — there were virtually no OSS vendors here 4 years ago. This year, there were 6.
PS: Great fun seeing/meeting the usual CMS crowd suspects IRL and chatting about royal matters of the content management kingdom 🙂 Thanks, Frank!
Open Source CMS
- Hippo held its ForgeFriday as planned (read event recap here from Tjeerd Brenninkmeijer) and released Hippo CMS 7.2 aiming to deliver more TLC to end-users with several Hippo Site Toolkit (HST) treats.
- Bill Beardslee called to say he moved to Miami and left Percussion for dotCMS.
- And soon after, dotCMS announced its intent to embrace CMIS.
- Nuxeo now has their very own DAM system in addition to the existing ECM and DM products — all tightly knit together. Another first is their international user conference planned for March 2010 – NuxeoWorld.
- Magnolia CMS concentrated on hierarchical content modeling and interoperability (still based on the JSR-170 standard) in version 4.2.
- Alfresco started offering an option for fault-tolerant, load-balanced, complex configuration deployments of its ECM product in the cloud with help from RightScale.
Social Media
- The CIA continued its investment in open source and technology and got more visibility into social media (=open source = data in public domain) after giving some $$$ to the social media monitoring firm Visible Technologies. Any social content (open or hidden) can be scraped, scored and displayed in a nice dashboard.

An ob-gyn is a physician specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. Obstetrics focuses on pregnancy and childbirth, and gynecology is the general care of the female reproductive system.
Your care team
At Kaiser Permanente, your labor and delivery care team may include:
- Certified nurse-midwives
- Obstetrics-gynecology physicians
- Maternal-fetal medicine specialists
- Neonatologists
- Anesthesiologists
- Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs)
At the hospital
Our obstetrical team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the hospital — whenever you arrive in labor, we'll be ready.
When you're a Kaiser Permanente member, your prenatal care team, primary care doctor, and labor and delivery team are all connected through your electronic health record. The physician on call when you're in the hospital may not be the same one you saw during your prenatal visits, but they will have the same knowledge, expertise, and experience. Kaiser Permanente delivered more than 105,632 babies in 2016, so you can rest assured that you and your new baby are in very good hands.
In addition to the traditional ob-gyn care model, you'll have the option to get care from a team that includes certified nurse-midwives and ob-gyn physicians working together.
The midwife philosophy takes a holistic approach, recognizing that conception, pregnancy, and birth are part of a natural cycle. Ob-gyn physicians specialize in all aspects of women's health and medical care, and are highly trained in caring for women before, during, and after childbirth. We're proud to be part of a national movement toward this new collaborative care model, where new moms and new babies can benefit from the knowledge and expertise of two types of medical professionals.
Care team members
Depending on your preferences and needs, you may receive care from a physician, a nurse practitioner, or a certified nurse-midwife during your pregnancy. If you or your baby need special care, we'll refer you to one of our high-risk specialists.
These ob-gyn physicians have advanced training in caring for high-risk mothers and babies. These specialists provide care and guidance for women who have health complications or complications during pregnancy.
These physicians specialize in caring for newborns, children, and adolescents. A pediatrician will see your new baby before you are discharged from the hospital. After that, you'll choose a pediatrician or family doctor to care for your baby.
These physicians are pediatricians with advanced training to care for babies who need specialized care. Newborns who are premature, have birth defects, or have other high-risk situations are cared for by neonatologists.
A licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) is trained to help families during times of challenge and change. Some parents need additional help finding out about helpful resources. Our LCSWs see all of our teen moms, and mothers of premature infants. There are many other situations when a social worker can help. If at any time you feel you need to see a social worker, let your nurse or doctor know.
Choosing your baby's doctor
We encourage you to select a personal pediatrician or family medicine physician for your new baby before he or she arrives. Helping your little one grow up healthy is an important job, so make time to choose a doctor you really like.
During your third trimester, we'll talk with you about setting up a parent pediatric appointment and help guide you to available physicians. You can also call our Panorama City Appointment Center at 1-888-778-5000 anytime during your third trimester to schedule the appointment. You don't need a referral, and there's no copayment or cost for this visit.

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure. George Edward Woodberry
I have not been writing so much since last week because I really hate writing when I am down. However, it's a week later and I am lower than before. I know that some of you caught my blogs about being attacked on CL, which I deleted BTW because I wrote in anger, and I hate it when I do that. I may have been able to delete the blogs but I can't as easily delete the hurt and pain I am still feeling. I am also still utterly beyond understanding why some anonymous person would take to attack me on a public venue. I know what you are going to say. People are mean, people are jealous, people do things like this to make themselves feel bigger, etc. You can tell me that all day long, you can also tell me not to let it get to me. It still hurts. They attacked me right where it hurts, my music. On top of everything else we are still struggling with bass player issues. Every time I think I've got it figured out and we have everything on line, I am wrong. So, the band may never get going like we should, and a bass player is the only thing holding us back. So, unfortunately, I am sad and my heart is still breaking. Am I defeated, I don't know. I know I sure as hell feel like giving up. Sorry my post is so sad, but that's all I have for right now. Thank you for listening.

Fifty years after his death, the legacy of this Irish-American president doesn't just live on. It lives strong.
Ask almost any member of the Baby Boomer generation and they'll be able to tell you exactly where they were on November 22nd, 1963.
It is, of course, that infamous date which marks the anniversary of the death of the Irish-American President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. It is a date that will be remembered somberly, not just in America, but around the world.
There's a saying in the Irish language that goes "níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin". It means, loosely, that there is no place like home.
And while for the most eventful years of his life, John F Kennedy called the White House home, the former US President may have been even more comfortable in a tiny cottage half way around the world… in Ireland.
On 26 June 1963, Air Force One, carrying John F Kennedy of the Dunganstown Kennedy's, touched down in Dublin airport.
"He was" says Ryan Tubridy, author of JFK in Ireland, "like a rainbow coming off a plane".
The next morning a helicopter brought the President to Wexford, the county of his great-grandfather. In the speech he made in New Ross, he joked that if his relations hadn't left Ireland, he might now be working at the local factory, or the shop down the road.
The whole speech can be read on the plaque beside the life-sized bronze sculpture of him that stands on Charles Street Dock in New Ross today.
In May 2013, a torch was lit at John F Kennedy's resting place in Arlington Cemetery. It then began its journey to New Ross, County Wexford, the very place where the Kennedy story began.
Every year on November 22nd, the Chairman of the New Ross Town council places a wreath by JFK's bronze likeness. But 2013 is no ordinary year: it's the 50th anniversary, so a special Mass in remembrance and parade to the quayside are in order. A lament, written specially for the occasion, will close the day's events celebrating the life of one of County Wexford's most famous descendants. Gone for half a century, but definitely not forgotten.

After the visit, JFK later told his aides that his favourite part of the trip was the wreath laying and silent funeral drill done by the Irish Army cadets at Arbour Hill military cemetery in Dublin.
Five months later, his widow Jacqueline Kennedy made a special request to the Irish government. Could those Irish cadets, who so impressed the President on his visit, perform the drill again at his state funeral? Within days, those awe-stuck, trembling young men stood inches from the foreign dignitaries who had arrived from over 90 countries, and performed their silent funeral drill in memory of a president that had inspired their country only months previously.
The rosary beads that were in the President's pocket on that terrible day in Dallas can be seen in the Museum and Visitor Centre that now stands on Mary Ryan's farm in Dunganstown. Proudly known as the Kennedy Homestead, it reopened in June 2013 in time for the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's visit.

If you're interested in the different wines and spirits available, taking the time to learn more about pairing white wine and chardonnay properly is certainly worthwhile. Chardonnay may be one of the most misunderstood wines. White wine and chardonnay are often spoken of as one in the same, but chardonnay really is unique in its own right.
Chardonnay in the Making
Chardonnay is actually one of the most neutral grapes on the planet. Therefore, the taste of this particular type of white wine is often heavily influenced by the climate and soil where the grapes are grown. Fermentation done in oak, concrete and steel now produce a wide variety of chardonnays that appeal to wine lovers of all different types. The climate and fermentation process are the primary factors in determining just how tasty or exquisite your chardonnay will be.
Getting Chardonnay Temperatures Just Right
When you understand how white wine and chardonnay are affected by the fermentation process, you'll have a better knowledge of what to expect before sipping from your next glass. If the grapes are grown in a cooler climate, the chardonnay may be described as producing a precise taste that is both crisp and highly acidic. Warmer climates tend to produce a chardonnay that tastes more tropical and reminiscent of flavors associated with peaches, pineapples and figs.
Fermentation Methods
Chardonnay grapes fermented in concrete typically produce wines that have a heavier body and taste more of crisp fruit. Steel fermentation produces pure fruit notes while reducing the butter that turns many wine lovers off. The oak fermentation creates the classic California chardonnay taste that many people are familiar with and have grown to love over time.

Almost half of Britons believe Britain has changed for the worse during Queen Elizabeth's 60-year reign but most think that celebrations to mark her sixth decade on the throne will be good for business and Britain's character, a poll showed on Monday.
Huge crowds are expected to celebrate 86-year-old Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee next week, which is expected to be marked by a concert at Buckingham Palace, a procession through London and a 1,000-strong flotilla along the River Thames.
An ITV News/ComRes poll found that 47 percent of those surveyed thought that Britain was not as good a place as before her reign, and just over half said they would not go to a jubilee street party or other celebration.
The poll did not say how Britons felt their nation had changed for the worse. Elizabeth has presided over the demise of Britain's once vast empire and many Britons are now feeling the squeeze of tough government spending cuts to tackle a big budget deficit.
However, 80 percent said the jubilee celebrations contribute to Britain's reputation as a country with its own distinct character, and 65 percent said the event was good for the economy. Only 14 percent opposed Britain having a monarchy.
Despite her age, many commentators believe Elizabeth remains an important figurehead in Britain and beyond, a symbol of stability and service that has taken on added weight during straitened economic times.
The wedding of Prince William, the queen's grandson, to Kate Middleton last year helped boost the monarchy's popularity.
ComRes interviewed 2,056 British adults in the period of May 25-28.

I agreed to be a mystery reader in the class our daughter teaches. Talk about pressure. What did I expect? It was kindergarten.
She gives the kids a clue every day so they can try to figure out whose parent or grandparent is going to be the reader the last day of the week. One of the clues was that the mystery reader "has a grown child that looks a lot like the teacher."
It was anticlimactic when I walked through the door. They gave up a weak round of applause and an anemic cheer. I had a hunch it could be a tough room; I had no idea how tough.
I read three books, making sweeping moves with the book making sure all the kids could see, all the while looking at the print upside down. By book two, I had motion sickness.
I did voices and animal noises. I contorted my face for expression and threw myself into the characters.
When I finished the best reading of my life, I closed the book. They just sat there staring. They were waiting for more. You'd think when you're the teacher's mother, they'd cut you some slack.
"So I'm your teacher's mother. How about that?"
Somebody said, "Jack's dad is a policeman."
There was no way to trump that. I was fresh out of handcuffs. Too bad, too.
"I'll teach you to play your nose!" I said.
I showed them how to press one nostril shut with an index finger and hum. We did a few rounds of Old MacDonald and they warmed up a bit. For about 60 seconds.
"When Mira's mother came, she walked on her hands," someone said.
The room exploded with excitement.
"Yeah! She wasn't going to walk on her hands. She was just going to stand on her head, but we made a big circle and she walked on her hands. Can you walk on your hands? How about a flip? Can you do a flip?"
It would be nice if you knew in advance that your audience would be expecting circus tricks following the reading, but you play the hand you're dealt.
"We heard you do another trick," someone said.
I glared at my daughter. I have mentioned before that my only real talent is barking like a sea lion. I haven't done it in years because it rips my throat and is not particularly dignified.
The kids pleaded and I refused. They pleaded more. I refused more.
I saw my daughter slip out her video camera. There was no way I was barking like a sea lion with a camera present.
She dropped her camera.
My throat was sore and my voice was hoarse for four days, but I left that classroom a rock star.
If you ever agree to be a mystery reader, request to be at the front of the lineup, not after somebody's mother who can walk on her hands.

The hearing is becoming a free for all.
A number of detractors have lined up to share their gripes about the judiciary.
Most of what they are saying has nothing to do with Ireland or his qualifications as a judge.
It is still not clear when we will get to Ireland's testimony.
It appears that there are three more witnesses waiting to testify.
