Steve, with all due respect, I think that looking at the statistics you're referring to might not be as convincing as you think. That, as it turns out, is exactly what the Dutch government did when coming up with its rules and regs. The result of a statistical study across all of the EU revealed that countries that required helmets for bicycles and under-250cc scooters and motorbikes actually had significantly *higher* rates of injury and death than those that did not. As a result, you don't need a helmet for either type of device here. Haven't had to for over a decade, and the Dutch stats are still significantly lower than any of the countries surveyed. In all of the countries riders of real motorcycles need helmets. And bike riders here are required to have both front and back lights and warning bells. Some of this can be legitimately attributed to better infrastructure on the part of the Dutch, because in most cases bike and scooter riders never share roads with cars (they have their own lanes). But still, it's not as clear-cut a case for helmet wearing as some might think.

I don't watch television at all, actually. But your description of the specifics below doesn't resonate, for me, with your just discovered or invented fucking characterization.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Listen to this guy sing!
Thanks Barry, I had not been aware of that. I know that here biking is not so much a part of how people get around than in EU countries. Maybe that has something to do with it. Bike helmets are very much encouraged in the US at least, and especially among children. Actually, I do not wear one myself, except when I know I'm going to be going fast and on city streets. One of my company's best customers is one of the main bike advocates here. She is always in the paper debating, sometimes quite contentiously with other bike advocates on the best way to promote bike safety when riding in metropolitan areas. Her philosophy is to educate drivers to share the road, more than creating special bike lanes. I haven't followed all the debate, but I think she recently prevailed in a recent ordinance that was passed along these lines. Another funny twist on that, was that they got their motivation for biking when my wife and I along with our 6 or 7 year old son rode our bikes to their house one afternoon. That seemed to spark something in them. Now they bike all over, using their bikes and public transportation. Even though they are millionaires! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb@... wrote: Steve, with all due respect, I think that looking at the statistics you're referring to might not be as convincing as you think.

In all of the countries riders of real motorcycles need helmets. And bike riders here are required to have both front and back lights and warning bells. Some of this can be legitimately attributed to better infrastructure on the part of the Dutch, because in most cases bike and scooter riders never share roads with cars (they have their own lanes). But still, it's not as clear-cut a case for helmet wearing as some might think. From: steve.sundur@... steve.sundur@...

Hey Ann, Thanks for making me smile this morning. I confess, I am not a seat belt wearer either except when on the interstate, or when I am rushing.

Thanks Barry, I had not been aware of that. I know that here biking is not so much a part of how people get around than in EU countries. Maybe that has something to do with it. Bike helmets are very much encouraged in the US at least, and especially among children. Actually, I do not wear one myself, except when I know I'm going to be going fast and on city streets. One of my company's best customers is one of the main bike advocates here. She is always in the paper debating, sometimes quite contentiously with other bike advocates on the best way to promote bike safety when riding in metropolitan areas. Her philosophy is to educate drivers to share the road, more than creating special bike lanes. I haven't followed all the debate, but I think she recently prevailed in a recent ordinance that was passed along these lines. Another funny twist on that, was that they got their motivation for biking when my wife and I along with our 6 or 7 year old son rode our bikes to their house one afternoon.

I don't believe I tried to split any hairs. (Do you even know what that expression means?) My point was, since you seem to have missed it, that you read what he writes so selectively that you don't see the appropriateness of the term Feebs (nor the inappropriateness of your kind and reasonable characterization). In fact, he enjoys being nasty and obnoxious and thinks his insults are just supremely clever, when they're actually painfully feeble.

Looks to me as though Emily is asking you to spell it out for her, Feebs. Spell it out for me Emily. Really Steve, do you have any idea what you are saying? This is your comment? I mean, Huh? What? (guffaw) Nobody could ever accuse you of trying to conceal your ignorance, Feebs. Okay, okay, you gotta admit, this sounds like a man trying to sound like a woman. A customer of our business is a transvestite, or maybe a man who just likes to cross dress. We saw him last week, and he sounded a lot like the guy on this recording. Also, I just came in from doing an errand, and they had the guy Judy was talking about, and he sounded just like a normal man. So, I'm not sure what the big hubub is about. I guess it is considered high art or something that a man can sing like a woman, and we should all oooh, and aaah, and shout Bravo! Bravo!. Evidently I am missing something. (-:

Re: [FairfieldLife] Listen to this guy sing!
Bhairitu I think it is great you had a chance to work with Alfred Deller. Among countertenors he had a unique quality of sound. The following is for seventhray27: High male voice singing has been a part of European culture for centuries. Undoubtedly this began because women were not allowed to sing in church, just men and boys. Men (that is older) generally have greater control and greater musical maturity than boys. The countertenor tradition has been fairly strong in England. Today many 'classical' performances tend to use countertenors in part originally sung by boy altos. In the past (when food was a bit scarcer) boy's broke around age 16, today it is more likely around the age of 12, so today it is less likely to find musically mature boy altos or trebles, so countertenors are used for the altos, and women sopranos with more 'boyish' sounding voices for the boys' treble voice. It does not sound the same, but times change. I once asked a countertenor here on the East Coast what his normal signing voice would be like if he did not sing in the countertenor range and he replied he was a baritone. High falsetto singing by males is frequently heard in popular music, in rock etc., so this kind of singing (minus operatic training) is not restricted to classical venues. So it is not the case as seventhray said these are men trying to sound like women, they are singing parts originally written for men, castrati, or boys. The whole effect is instrumental colour, the voice is an instrument and it has a distinct timbre just like any other instrument, and that is how it is used. It should be noted than in older European drama, like opera, unlike in the late 19th century, roles of villains tended to be given to high male voices, such as a castrato soprano, while the hero was often a deep bass voice. Today a castrato soprano part has to be performed by a woman. The last known castrato, a singer for the Vatican died in 1922. Alfred Deller, Countertenor singing 'Music for a While' by Henry Purcell, a strange, mesmerising and plaintive song by one of England's greatest composers. This was recorded shortly before Deller's death in 1979 http://youtu.be/trOXaDeFeD4 http://youtu.be/trOXaDeFeD4 Another countertenor with a beautiful singing voice is Paul Esswood. The New York composer Philip Glass cast him in the role of Akhnaten in his opera here in the 1980s. Esswood's voice seems a bit more fleshed out than most other countertenors, and is able to sing with more vibrato, a very expressive voice. He lives in England and also conducts. Paul Esswood, countertenor, singing a part from Monteverdi's opera 'The Coronation of Poppea' written about 1643. http://youtu.be/zAuxsIhixKI http://youtu.be/zAuxsIhixKI He has a website: http://www.esswood.co.uk http://www.esswood.co.uk

By the time I was in my early 30's, I had gotten 4 tickets for not wearing a seat belt (it was a secondary offense at that time). I found them constricting and was exercising my freedom not to wear them. I paid the fines; the fines had no effect on my behavior at all. Finally, I was sent to seat belt school where I learned and experienced, visually, mentally, and emotionally what the reality might be and what the stats were in terms of death and disability with and without their use, in the case of a major accident. That had a huge effect and forever changed my behavior. I would wear my seat belt whether it was the law or not. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, sharelong60@... wrote: Ann, I see what you mean.

Frankly, I think bull riders should be donning Michelin Man suits. Concussions are a big deal now and virtually everyone wears a helmet for most sports and so they should. Damaging your brain in the service of entertainment is hardly worth it. One thing I do have a problem with, however, is having to wear a bike helmet. I think of all the miles and hours I was atop a bike as a youngster and I never once fell on my head, as hard as that might be to believe. And okay, thrown out for discussion. I would guess that many gay couples may be uncomfortable with the fact that they can now marry in many places. I think you are guessing dead wrong.

And, now you've got 100 more euros in your pocket! However, it might have come in handy as a way to transport your dogs to the countryside for a run or to play ball. Do you have any countryside over there where a dog could run free for a few minutes? My dog likes to get off the leash a few times a week and run. So, I pack them in my Chevy van and take them to a dog park or out in the country for some exercise so they can run free. Go figure.

Thanks Barry, I had not been aware of that. I know that here biking is not so much a part of how people get around than in EU countries. Maybe that has something to do with it. Bike helmets are very much encouraged in the US at least, and especially among children. Actually, I do not wear one myself, except when I know I'm going to be going fast and on city streets. One of my company's best customers is one of the main bike advocates here. She is always in the paper debating, sometimes quite contentiously with other bike advocates on the best way to promote bike safety when riding in metropolitan areas. Her philosophy is to educate drivers to share the road, more than creating special bike lanes. I haven't followed all the debate, but I think she recently prevailed in a recent ordinance that was passed along these lines. Another funny twist on that, was that they got their motivation for biking when my wife and I along with our 6 or 7 year old son rode our bikes to their house one afternoon. That seemed to spark something in them. Now they bike all over, using their bikes and public transportation.

That, as it turns out, is exactly what the Dutch government did when coming up with its rules and regs. The result of a statistical study across all of the EU revealed that countries that required helmets for bicycles and under-250cc scooters and motorbikes actually had significantly *higher* rates of injury and death than those that did not. As a result, you don't need a helmet for either type of device here. Haven't had to for over a decade, and the Dutch stats are still significantly lower than any of the countries surveyed. In all of the countries riders of real motorcycles need helmets. And bike riders here are required to have both front and back lights and warning bells. Some of this can be legitimately attributed to better infrastructure on the part of the Dutch, because in most cases bike and scooter riders never share roads with cars (they have their own lanes). But still, it's not as clear-cut a case for helmet wearing as some might think. -- *From:* steve.sundur@... steve.sundur@... *To:* FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com *Sent:* Monday, March 3, 2014 4:14 PM *Subject:* Re: [FairfieldLife] Listen to this guy sing!

Definitely moving in that direction. (-: Although, and not related, I do support MLB's decision to try to reduce those hard collisions at home plate.

I would guess that many gay couples may be uncomfortable with the fact that they can now marry in many places. I am particularly thinking of my sister who has lived with her S.O. for many years. I have never discussed it with her, but I am not sure they would want to get married. But I wonder if it becomes a awkward decision for some gay couples, who might have wanted to stay just beneath the radar, and now a question might arise, well why don't you now get married And yes, I admit, the whole notion of people of the same sex getting married does strike me as a little odd.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Listen to this guy sing!
Ann, glad that you can speak so expertly on behalf of (seemingly) all gay couples. That's certainly a relief. I didn't mean to imply that I don't understand the need for helmets with bull riding, just that it takes away from the macho image of it to some extent. I assume you are being factitious about bike helmets. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater@... wrote: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, steve.sundur@... wrote: Definitely moving in that direction.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Listen to this guy sing!
He could be a castrato, which was practiced in Europe many years ago. But I heard one of these guys singing at the Notre Dame Cathedral mass in Paris a few years ago. It was a new experience for me at that time to hear a guy with such a high voice range (a counter tenor according to Wikipedia).
Re: [FairfieldLife] Listen to this guy sing!
No, he isn't a castrato. They stopped doing that over a century ago, thank goodness. Modern countertenors use falsetto, whereas castrati used their natural voices, which simply hadn't developed, since they were castrated before their voices changed. Jaroussky has a very natural-sounding falsetto in the soprano range, which is quite rare. Most countertenors are in the alto or mezzo range. Beaufiul voice, superb musician. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jr_esq@... wrote: He could be a castrato, which was practiced in Europe many years ago.
