The Blue Jays do not have much to do this off season, but do have several players that need to be resigned. The Blue Jays have begun talks with Matt Stairs about a one year deal, in the range of 2-3 million dollars. Stairs, 40, has earned the opportunity to compete for the starting spot in the outfield next season after he hit .289 with 21 HR and 64 RBI. He is very important for the Blue Jays, who can also play him at first base, and to have the veteran in the clubhouse. Other than Stairs, the Blue Jays will look to bring Joe Kennedy back, but I am not sure why. Kennedy was 4-9 with a 4.80 ERA and 51 K. He made 2.8 million dollars and that will probably go down, but you'd think Ricciardi would put that money towards another pitcher. I suspect the Blue Jays will look for another Ted Lilly type pitcher-maybe Kyle Lohse. They do have money to spend and definitely need some help in their rotation and infield. Other than that, it is possible to see them trade Troy Glaus around the time of the Winter Meetings to a team who missed out on Alex Rodriguez. But since steroid allegations are surrounding Glaus, it might be hard to unload him.
Astros re-sign Ausmus: The Astros have resigned Brad Ausmus and have given him a one year deal. Although he will not be starting because J.R. Towles has been given the nod, he should help the Astros pitchers nonetheless.

Does this sentence make sense to you?
"The Blue Jays do not have much to do this off season, but what they have to do, is definitely important"
Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that I can check here and see news and rumors first, but my god the writing needs work...

But in what world do you see it here first? Okay, say you haven't seen a newspaper, TV or website for 24-48 hours (say you were knocked unconscious by the hummer given to Favre on MNF) and then jump on the internet with this site being the first you open. Then yes, this would be the first place you saw it.
And yes, the writing is brutal.

Hello my beloved readers! I had a crazy week finals week of studying, fooling around and panicking. During one of my more relaxed days this week, I went to the mall with some friends. The guys wanted to go to a Tesla shop which was pretty cool.
If you don't know, Tesla creates custom designed electronic cars which was the big appeal for everyone in the group, not just the guys. In the shop, there are displays where you can create your own cars.
Being the big nerds that we are, we decided to create Harry Potter inspired cars.
Check out our creations:

Over the next few weeks many of you will be getting a letter from the local Council informing you of a council tax bill - due to the fact that your studies are now complete. It will likely cover the period between now until you move out in July/August.
The bills are genuine and you will need to pay them. But we agree: it's completely unfair.
It doesn't reflect the fact that many of you are still on campus either finishing your lives at Royal Holloway, waiting for postgraduate degrees to start, or simply you've moved home and are searching for jobs. And most other local councils don't target graduating students like this.
This year we've raised the issue with local councillors a number of times, and working with the College have looked at some potential solutions to the issue. It's complicated and at the moment the Council aren't budging. So we want to hear your stories - how does this unfair bill affect you personally? Our aim is to put together a formal submission to the Council during the summer on the issue, and ask them for a public response.
So over to you - email Laura Lewis (Co President Welfare & Diversity) at email@example.com with your story, and help us make the case that students in later years shouldn't be treated like this.

Lily Deville is a pinup girl from Colorado! She flew out to PA and during her trip, she worked with both Dave and me at the Studio! (Bad news is Dave broke up with me after 4 1/2 years =( so I won't be posting any of his images, but you can check them out on his page!) It was a sort of chaotic event -- We were supposed to receive outfits from one designer after another and finally, Scarlet Bliss mailed us a piece of latex to shoot in... but I got it in the mail the day after we shot =(
You might remember Scarlet Bliss as the designer that loaned us this piece for my photoshoot with Pinup Model and Burlesque dancer, Maria Bella. You will be seeing much much more of Maria very soon after a few magazine publications come out, and hopefully I will be able to work with Scarlet Bliss again!
Onto Lily Deville! She is a sweetheart and although I shot with her for half the time I normally spend with models because I was trading off back and forth, we got some awesome stuff! Makeup and Hair by Me! Styling was a collaborative mix between what she brought with her and what I had =)!

Mass of Data, Analysis Failures Main Culprits of Christmas Day Attack
The botched terrorist attack on Christmas Day was a failure of intelligence analysis and not information sharing, the two former chairs of the 9-11 Commission testified today. "The greatest single challenge that arises from this incident in our view is the urgent need to strengthen the analytic process," former Rep. Lee Hamilton and former Gov. Tom Kean said in prepared testimony before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
They were joined by Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and Director of the National Counterterroism Center Michael E. Leiter, both of whom testified earlier this morning before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Reform with Dennis C. Blair, the director of national intelligence. Members of both committees focused on how to correct the intelligence and security failures that allowed Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23-year-old Nigerian, to board a flight from Amsterdam with high explosives sewn into his underwear, despite numerous indicators that should have landed him on the country's No-Fly List.

compliant to Tamil Nadu Chief Electoral Officer, said Stalin
made "derogatory and defamatory remarks" against Jayalalithaa
in Namakkal on Friday last during a campaign for the April 13

MOSCOW, November 13 (Itar-Tass) — The Investigative Committee /SK/ has finished the probe into the criminal case over the abduction of Ivan Kaspersky, son of a well-known anti-virus software designer.
"Nikolai Savelyev, his son Nikolai, Sergei Gromov and Oleg Mayukov are accused of extortion, committed by a group in collusion using violence, with the view of coming in possession of property in especially large amount," SK spokesman Vladimir Markin told Itar-Tass.
The suspects made their plans after watching a TV program about the father of the injured party, head of the Kaspersky Lab company, as they assumed he had much money, Markin said.
"The kidnapping plans were made not later than March 2011, and the group intended to demand a 3-million-euro ransom.
"After analyzing available information, they chose the neighborhood near the Strogino subway as the best place for abduction. They kidnapped the young man on April 19, 2011 at approximately 08:30, Moscow time. They overpowered Ivan Kaspersky, forced him into their car, blindfolded and handcuffed him, whereupon they brought him to a gardening society near the town of Sergiyev Posad, Moscow region, where he was kept until police set him free on April 24.
All the suspects are unemployed. Two of them have criminal records. Sergei Gromov, who was detained when he was guarding Ivan Kaspersky, 20, in the Moscow region, had three convictions for battery, while head of the Savelyev family - Nikolai - had a conviction for fraud in the 1970s. Alexei Ustimchuk had served 4.5 years in a maximum regime penitentiary.
In the course of a special operation, police detained Nikolai Savelyev, 61, a pensioner, his wife Lyudmila, their son Nikolai, 30, and his two friends Alexei Ustimchuk and Sergei Gromov. The Savelyevs and Ustimchuk were detained at a road police post when they were on their way to Moscow to meet with the parents of the kidnapped young man. They had a data medium on them as proof that Ivan Kaspersky had not been hurt.
On April 25, the Moscow Presnya district court sanctioned the suspects' arrest.
The SK added that the version that the kidnapping had been arranged by a Eugine Kaspersky rival had not been substantiated.
The criminal case was sent to prosecutors for endorsing the indictment and passing it to the court.

I haven't researched this fully yet. So, this is just a start. But, I wanted to point this out.
The EPA has been conspiring with environmental activists to halt the Keystone pipeline.
They have the emails and everything. I suspect you won't here anything about it on the news.
But, if a conservative administration did something like that, there would be hell to pay.
Do any liberals stop to think about what might happen when a conservative president is elected? Don't they see what all of this power could do in the hands of the good guys? I mean, the opposition party?

Well now its time to talk about the other half of the "TAHU" blogging team, Elles besty and mother of two Tash Sefton.
Tash has an effortless way of styling an outfit that has her looking casual and cool yet composed and formal all at once. A lover of ripped denim, leather and heels, Tash's ensembles are always classic yet on trend and never look fussy. Her biggest talent when it comes to dressing (in my eyes) is her incredible ability to layer… and never look overdone or frumpy – It's like magic!

Two fast-growing stalagmites from a cellar vault in Uppsala, southeast Sweden, are ana-lysed for their luminescent properties. The results
indicate that variations in luminescence intensity in the stalagmites are annual. Due to problems in find-ing a suitable absolute dating method this assump-tion cannot yet be firmly tested; however, results from radiocarbon dating of one of the stalagmites do not contradict the proposal that the laminae are annual. If so, the speleothems have been growing for 10-15 years with a growth rate of 3-8 mm per year, which is a similar rate to other fast-growing speleothems in Great Britain that have formed from the reaction of lime mortar and carbon dioxide. It is likely that the assumed annual laminae of the lumi-nescence record represent a flush of organic mate-rial.
Part of urn:nbn:se:su:diva-1408
The main aim of this thesis was to contribute with detailed information of regional environmental change during the Holocene through studies of speleothems and their growth environments from two caves, Korallgrottan and Labyrintgrottan in northwestern Sweden, and a cellar vault in Uppsala. This was done through studies of stable isotopes and luminescence properties in the speleothems in combination with a detailed monitoring study in Korallgrottan.
The monitoring study suggests that stalagmites fed by stalactites with slow and stable drip rates from deep inside the cave may be suitable as palaeoclimate archives. Similarities between oxygen isotope signals of contemporary samples from Labyrintgrottan and Korallgrottan emphasize the potential of speleothems from Labyrintgrottan to also provide high resolution regional palaeoclimate information.
Except for a number of cold events stalagmite δ18O records from northern Scandinavia indicate that temperatures were warmer than today between 9500 and 6000 years ago. During this period the interval between 7800 and 6000 years ago seems to have been the warmest. The area above Labyrintgrottan was most likely covered by much denser vegetation than today at the time of stalagmite growth (9500-7500 years ago) and was, unlike today, probably situated below the local tree-limit between 9000 and 8000 years ago. The δ18O record of a stalagmite from Korallgrottan covering the last 4000 years agrees with the concept of a warmer period, the so called Medieval Warm Period, centred around AD1000 and a colder period, the so called Little Ice Age, somewhere between AD1000 and today.
Studies of luminescence properties in fast growing speleothems from Uppsala indicate that the variations in luminescence intensity are annual and that the annual lamiae of the luminescent record represent a flush of organic material.

In our previous blog, we charted out why it is financially sound to attract top talent and retain them through offering better health insurance and other employer-paid benefits. There are still yet other reasons why benefits are a sound investment in your business' future, as well as the future of your employees.
Obvious, Overlooked Benefits of Health Insurance
Healthy Employees
Okay, obviously. Think about it this way, though: If you offer a crummy, bottom-of-the-barrel health insurance plan, are your employees going to go to the doctor when they might be sick? Will they go for preventative appointments, visit early for screenings, or be at all proactive about their health care? Maybe, but probably not. If your current health insurance has a high deductible or has other restrictive options that prevent employees from going to the doctor regularly, then odds are they will not. This is a problem because issues that go uncaught are far more likely to lead to decreased productivity and increased time spent away from work.
If you offer a great health insurance plans, you can encourage employees to go to the doctor when ill or whenever a member of their family becomes ill. Not only will these quick appointments help to keep your employees healthy, increasing productivity and decreasing time spent out of the office, but it will also make them happier. One of the largest reasons for stress in the country is medical debt, and preventing large medical debts with better benefits makes your employees less stressed, which also increases their productivity and loyalty to the company.
Culture is Contagious
Your employees talk about you – a lot. Whether they're saying great things to new hires, welcoming them into their new work environment with open arms or complaining in hushed voices around the water cooler, you can expect that your company culture is created from the bottom up, and is incredibly contagious. Creating a great company culture requires a number of things, but certainly not least of all is offering people competitive salaries and benefits.
It's hard to hate a job that pays well and keeps your family healthy; there really isn't much more to it than this. One satisfied employee can help create a contagious company culture that increases work satisfaction, decreases turnover, and makes your life so much easier; a single dissatisfied employee can have the same impact, especially if they have a clear thing to point to, like a weak benefits package.
Next Steps
These days, every company wants to create a great company culture; it doesn't come from ping-pong tables and kegerators in the office, it begins with truly competitive pay and benefits. If you invest in your employees by getting great group health insurance, they are far more likely to invest into your business. The next step for your business' future is to invest in the health and happiness of your employees, starting with a better health insurance plan.

Linda McMahon Expected to Run Again for Senate
Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman announced today he will be retiring and will not run for re-election in 2012. It's now expected that Linda McMahon will be running. In related news, CT Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz announced that she will be running in the Democratic primary for Lieberman's seat. This is the same woman who was in the news last year for saying that voters wearing WWE merchandise to the polls would be turned away.

born 24,11,93 and
died 25,11,93.
by Mummy and Daddy, Cindy Ferbrache and Michael Hamon:
You look so small as you lie in your cradle,
Deep peace etched on your face.
Your tiny form so very still,
You entered this life by our Father`s will.
He knit you together in your Mother`s womb,
In the secret place were nobody sees.
Perfect hands and minute feet,
Rose bud nose and petal soft cheeks.
You brought love and joy for a little while.
Now your candle has flickered out.
You are back in heaven at the Father`s side,
There forever to abide.
We are left with the memory,
The joy and the pain,
But we know that through god`s love,
We will be united again.
All our eternal love, Mummy and Daddy

Nice day for nature fun!
Tuesday, 19th August 2008
For those with a fancy for fine things made out of wood, an appetite for locally-sourced food and drink, a love of the outdoors or a curiosity to find out more about The National Forest – this is the perfect event. Held in the stunning setting of Beacon Hill Country Park, this fourth annual Wood Fair promises to be the biggest and best yet.
"We're expecting a great turnout," said Penny Wilkinson, Tourism and Promotions Officer for the National Forest Company. "Thousands of people had a fantastic day at the Fair last year and we have so much more for them to see and do this year. It is a brilliant way for us to show that The National Forest is much more than just trees: it's about walking and cycling, bird watching and picnicking; it's about people working and living here and the difference that the trees make in the landscape and their effect on the environment. Growing a forest is an amazing thing."
Visitors to the Wood Fair can have a go at whistle whittling, pole lathe turning or willow weaving, then watch the experts who make it look oh-so-easy as they produce beautifully crafted items and works of art.
Bushcraft experts will share the secrets of fire-lighting, shelter building and collecting water – including how to filter it through a sock lined with wood ash and moss. And how to dry the sock afterwards with the insides of a bullrush.
Kids can paddle a coracle, get stuck into eco-art activities, or knuckle down to nature fun with the rangers from Conkers. The Wild Man of the Woods will enthral his listeners with stories and songs about the natural world and how we can take care of it.
Two of the most popular attractions at the Wood Fair are the heavy horses Bruno and Silent. To watch them hauling massive tree trunks out of the woodland is to be transported back over the years to traditional methods of timber harvesting – only this is still an invaluable way to get timber out of small or inaccessible woodlands today, and part of the whole commercial mix of 21st century forestry techniques, which are demonstrated elsewhere on the site.
New this year is the grand auction which will round off the day at 3.30 pm. A select number of high-class pieces from the exhibitors at the Fair will be available in the auction, all of which will be on display in the Country Parks tent during the day. Items already promised include a handmade coracle and paddle, a child's chair made by Gordon Monk (one of the top furniture makers attending the Wood Fair) and the chain saw sculpture produced during the day by renowned sculptor Andrew Frost.
The Wood Fair is organised by the National Forest Company and Leicestershire County Council. It will run from 10am - 5pm on Bank Holiday Monday 25 August. Admission charges include car parking and a programme and will cost adults £6, concessions £4 and a family ticket £14 (for two adults and three children).
Beacon Hill Country Park lies within the ancient Forest of Charnwood and is close to the attractive village of Woodhouse Eaves, just five minutes drive from Junctions 22 or 23 of the M1. The Country Park, owned and managed by Leicestershire County Council, with its craggy summit and panoramic views, is just one of the many visitor attractions across the three counties that make up The National Forest.

You Logo is by far the most crucial and most prominent way for your business to get noticed. In today's competitive Real Estate Market, being able to stand out in front of your competitors is a very important fact to take into consideration. It is important that your logo be carefully designed in a professional manner to ensure that your business conveys excellence and quality.
When it comes to a Real Estate Logo Design, the right colors and fonts need to be taken into consideration. A strong bold font is usually used and colors that can be found in the logo are: Yellow, Green, Blue, Brown & Red depending on what type of real estate logo it is for and also the location.
Try and find something that matches your business for example: Stadium, Golf Course, or something historical in your region that can be implemented into the logo.
Try to use "repetitive brand positioning", this means that your logo can be consistently used in different places and people can still recognize that it is you no matter what marketing material they see it on.
There are 2 different kinds of realtors that exist: Aggressive and energetic realtors or Smooth easy going Realtors who will not put to much pressure on you so you don't feel like you are being intimidated.
Another important factor when creating a Real Estate Logo is weather or not to use a house in the logo. You don't necessarily need to have a house in your logo for people to know that you are a real estate agent. There are many other symbols you can use to represent your business. Take the time to think it over and determine what makes your business unique from the others.

It was a mad, mad, mad world....
Madness, for the Romantic artist ... promised not only different insights but also a different logic.
Writing about Robert Schumann, Charles Rosen tells us that
Schumann was haunted from the age of seventeen by the fear of going mad. Only at the end of his short life were these fears realized. In 1854 ... Schumann voluntarily incarcerated himself in an insane asylum.*
Rosen's chronology is correct with respect to Schumann the man, but not Schumann the composer. The latter should have committed himself to an asylum a couple of years earlier when he displayed undeniable symptoms of musical lunacy by composing piano accompaniment to Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Unaccompanied Violin BWV 1001- 1006. Had Schumann produced this composition a few decades later, it could have been considered a musical counterpart of Eugene Bataille's La Joconde fumant le pipe or Marcel Duchamp's L.H.O.O.Q. in the visual arts, making Schumann (rather than Eric Satie) the father of musical dadaism. But composed in the middle of the nineteenth century, this work of Schumann has always struck me as by far the most shocking (and, because it was Schumann, the saddest) case of madness from the Romantic period in the history of music.
Or so I thought until a few days ago when, to my great surprise, I came across a case of nineteenth century musical madness arguably more pathological than Schumann's.

A friend of a friend 4
Penderecki's most impressive score, To the Victims of Hiroshima: Threnody, for fifty-two strings, calls for a host of new methods of playing these instruments ... [and] ... the extremely violent, almost "anti-artistic" expression of the music justifies the means.
ELLIOTT CARTER, writing in 1963 about new music in Europe, Collected Essays and Lectures 1937-1995, U. of Rochester Press, p.36.
I must have heard at least a dozen concert recordings of Penderecki's Threnody (1960), and all but one presented this piece as a shrill Modernist tantrum of a young musical dissident behind the Iron Curtain. Heard in such performances, the music amounts to little more than an echo of Xenakis' Metastaseis (1954), making it easy to think that its continuing survival on the fringes of the orchestral repertoire is due solely to its contrived anti-American title.
Which is what I used to think before I discovered how poignant, even sensuous this music can sound when its avant-garde stylistic devices (swooping glissandi, tone clusters, behind the bridge bowing, etc.) are treated as background technical means to emotionally significant musical ends. I owe this discovery to the performance of Threnody by the ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien under the impressively versatile Cornelius Meister, recorded in concert on 3 November 2016.

With music, we must learn what to listen for—or, indeed, what not to listen for. After a 1964 concert in Berlin of Xenakis's music in the 1950s, the great Nadia Boulanger ... said to the composer in her usual forthright, no-nonsense manner: "Xenakis, you don't know how to develop your themes!" "What themes?" he replied reasonably.
CHARLES ROSEN, Freedom and the Arts, Harvard U. Press, p.237
I wonder if Nadia Boulanger's remark was simply a joke which somehow went over Charles Rosen's head. Surely by 1964 Boulanger must have been familiar with the decades-old music of composers who "did not know how to develop their themes", e.g., Schoenberg's Erwartung (1909) or Varèse's works from the 1920s (Ameriques, Arcana, Ionisation). Or perhaps she was too shocked by what she heard and blurted out the first thing that popped into her head (thematic development may have been a subject of criticism she frequently directed at her many composition students). Either possibility sounds more plausible to me than Rosen's (admittedly funny) portrayal of Boulanger as a musical dimwit.

Bye-bye, the baby in the bathwater
[The music is] bizarre ... melodically as well as harmonically, and avoids natural flow ... [Vocal writing] is overladen with surfeit of harmonies ... and tricky intervals which are often very hard for singers to remember and intone.
For ... melody we have searched in vain; nor have we even found any varieties of form, indicating an original fancy at work... All seems worn and hackneyed and unmeaning. ... if effect there be, it must be monotonous, and bizarre.
There is a vast deal of ugly music ... that offends the ear and rasps the nerves like fiddlestrings played on by a coarse file.
[The singers] all carry on in indistinguishable, angular swoops and shrieks. [The opera] boasts ... avoidance - as if on principle - of any hint of beauty, expressive content or sensual delight... [T]there is something singularly horrifying about this new score... It's a dehumanizing brand of art ... and to see it applied to the warm-blooded genre of opera is enough to chill the bones.
Reading the above excerpts from reviews of contemporary operas, you may feel sorry for the audiences traumatized by sadistic composers. You may also feel grateful to the critics whose unflinching reviews must have prevented many music lovers from becoming additional victims of these musical counterparts of Marquis de Sade. And why wouldn't you feel this way, if the composer in these reviews is made to look like the defendant in a criminal trial charged with multiple counts of fraud, vandalism, and intentional infliction of pain and suffering? (The defendant used false promises of an enjoyable experience to swindle hundreds of people. He lured these people into a large building where he held them captive for hours while subjecting them to various forms of psychological and physical torture.)
But then suppose you learn that the first excerpt comes from a 1793 review of the then present state of opera and refers specifically to the operas of Mozart; the second comes from a 1844 article on the operas of Verdi; the third comes from a 1907 review of the American premiere of Strauss' Salome; and only the fourth and last excerpt comes from a review of an opera (Elliott Carter's What Next?) which is contemporary for both the critic and yourself. Would you still feel sorry for the audiences? Grateful to the critics?
Or would you instead begin to wonder if there is any line of work where incompetence and arrogance are encouraged and rewarded as much as they are in music criticism?

... for me a Webern bagatelle is much more subversive and politically significant than all those requiems, cantatas and oratorios dedicated to the Holocaust, to 9/11 or to oppression in the Third World using depressive clusters, aggressive noises, threatening percussion orgies and sad nostalgic quotations.
"Sound Structures, Transformations, and Broken Magic: An Interview with Helmut Lachenmann", Contemporary Music: Theoretical and Philosophical Perspectives, Ashgate Publishing Ltd, 2010, p.341.
Back in 2011 I already voiced my contempt for mediocre composers who desperately try to mask the stale musical odor of their compositions with nauseatingly 'topical' titles, dedications, and program notes. Little man that I am, I was certainly gratified to discover a similar attitude expressed by a composer whose music I greatly admire.
Not that I think it makes much sense to attribute, as Lachenmann does, "political significance" to (non-vocal) art music, if only because the relations between art music and politics have nothing to do with intrinsically musical values. After all, in Nazi Germany the radical, cerebral Webern had the same 'political significance' as the jazzy Krenek, the derivative Shostakovich, and the bourgeois Mendelssohn, while in Stalin's USSR the 'political significance' of Webern's music was no different from that of Rachmaninov's sappy traditionalism and Stravinsky's acidic modernism (all were banned). And in today's America all art music has the same 'political significance' - which is to say none whatsoever - since neither the government nor the people give a fuck about about it (except for a relatively very small number of 'faggots', 'weirdos' and 'eggheads' like myself).

Hearing is believing
My bottomless contempt for commercial recordings of art music is well documented in this blog. Yet even I would not have believed that this level of incompetence could be found in a CD released by one of the oldest and biggest classical labels, EMI.
Here are the last 12 seconds of the piano solo from the Siciliano of Bach's Keyboard Concerto BWV 1053, recorded (digitally!) in the late 1980s by Andrei Gavrilov and Neville Marriner. What happens with the entrance of the orchestra is something for which (in my opinion) the producer and the engineer/editor of this recording should have been shot without trial (along with countless so-called record critics/reviewers who never mentioned such an obvious case of gross incompetence).
This industry, which has shamelessly fucked the paying public so much and for so long, surely deserves its nearly complete disintegration from online piracy.

When smart people say stupid things IV
... chaotic, unpredictable... There are no themes and no 'form'.
David Schiff on Elliott Carter's Partita for Orchestra (1993), The Music of Elliott Carter, 2nd ed., Cornell U. Press, 1998, p.318.
Musicologists... the forensic pathologists of music who dissect musical works, examine the innards, and describe their findings in reports the general public never reads. Except, that is, for occasional voyeuristic freaks like myself. In our case, however, the motivation is not some morbid obsession of a man perusing reports from the Coroner's Office, but a harmless (if not particularly healthy) obsession with the music we find exceptionally rewarding.

A not so odd couple
I'm sure you've read about occasions when a great composer's work was performed by his contemporary fellow composer of comparable stature who also happened to be a distinguished musician. Ever wondered what it would be like to hear such performances? Vivaldi concertos played by Bach (in transcriptions for organ)? Mozart's D minor piano concerto played by the young Beethoven? How about Chopin's etudes played by Liszt? Or perhaps Mahler's interpretations of operas by Puccini and Richard Strauss?
But why spend time on daydreaming when you can hear the real thing:

Blue Balls Lohengrin
In the middle of one his stand-up acts, the American comedian Steven Wright - whose onstage persona is by turns morose, dejected, or depressed - suddenly took a deep breath and said very slowly, very darkly, and with a deep sigh: I am soooo excited... That was funny and the joke took all of two seconds.
Recently I was reminded of Steven Wright by what I thought (for a moment) was a similar joke, except that it went on for more than twenty minutes and wasn't in the least funny. The joke in question was the Bridal Chamber Duet from Lohengrin conducted by Joseph Keilberth at the 1953 Bayreuth Festival (with Wolfgang Windgassen in the lead role).[1] To say that Keiberth's tempo was sluggish would be a severe understatement. It was comatose. Had this been a piece of instrumental music, one could conceivably justify such a tempo as an exercise of 'artistic license', akin to Glenn Gould's catatonic recording of Siegfried's Idyll or Sviatoslav Richter's glacial performances of Schubert's piano sonatas. Alas, with opera musical decisions cannot be completely unmoored from the text [2]; and it is because of the text that Keilberth tempo struck me as being simply freakish.
To explain:

When smart people say stupid things III
Our admiration for the great singers of the past is based on gramophone records. But what do we know about the precise circumstances in which they were made? Undoubtedly performances by tenors like Max Lorenz and Lauritz Melchior were stellar events ... although I am inclined to doubt whether both these singers had such tremendous voices as is claimed for them today.
Christian Thielemann [1]
Perhaps only a German mind can so effortlessly misrepresent obvious facts and then raise doubts as to whether there are any such facts at all. (This, after all, is the principal characteristic of German philosophy from Kant to Heidegger.) Coming from a highly experienced and internationally acclaimed opera conductor, Thielemann's doubt is worse than frivolous. It is delusional. There is no gentler way to describe his state of denial in the face of readily available and utterly compelling evidence that Lauritz Melchior's legendary status as a Wagnerian Heldentenor is fully justified by the unmatched glories of his singing.
So lets take a quick look at the evidence.

Hurray for Musical Colonialism-Imperialism!
Mozart did it with the Rondo a la Turca finale of his piano sonata K.331. Beethoven - with the Thème russe in his Razumovsky Quartets. Boulez's Le Marteau sans Maitre alludes to the sounds of Balinese gamelan music, while Steve Reich's Drumming is a minimalist recollection of his trip to Africa. Fortunately for art music, its pathetically low profile in today's American society has kept such colonialist-imperialist musical transgressions invisible to vigilant social justice warriors who are always ready to flood social media with indignant yapping about the evils of cultural appropriation - say, when they see a photo of some Caucasian celebrity bimbo wearing an 'ethnic' Halloween costume. Lets hope things stay this way. My Go-Fuck-Yourself List is already way too long to accommodate what must be nearly the entire Twitter-cum-Facebook generation of useless whiny assholes.

I've been lucky this Valentine's season. Not in the way humans hope to, but in finding ideas for carrying Derick William Dalton's blog for him, the bum.
In this case, it's a letter he wrote which I found in C:\Desktop\Letters\Angry\To manipulative corporate sycophantic s***heads. It's not a mushy one to his wife, obviously. Those are under C:Desktop\Letters\Seductive\My Bitsy Pookums Snoogy Woogy Wips.
Yes, I puked also.
The letter in question today is filled with the angst of a man crushed between the pressures of being romantic and the lack of time and creativity to do so. Then having his inadequacies repeatedly tossed in his face by popular culture.
The poor sap. He writes:
Dear Kay Jewelers and Hallmark Greetings,
I write to express my opinion regarding your advertising campaigns and products. I'm not concerned with cards contributing to rainforest destruction by lack of pre- or post-consumer recycling. I could care less if you purchase your uncut diamonds from militant tyrant regimes in Africa.
I'm disturbed by the misanthropic view of males which you project, and subsequent attempts to capitalize on perceived inadequacies.
"To My Valentine..." open card, "words can't express my love for you."
Really. Then why did you write those? To practice your calligraphy?
"To my dearest love..." open card again, this time with trepidation, "I wish you a sudden rush of whatever brain chemicals make you experience lust."
At least this one had real information, but you are insulting men blatantly instead of covertly. Are you suggesting Valentine's Day is really about men giving themselves a gift by bribing their partners? Okay, maybe to some guys, but be subtle! If that works, it's because the guy already accomplished the necessary seduction. Do you see the fine, blurry line between bribery and payment for services rendered?
To the jeweler, relationships exist for a different end. Judging by your advertisements, you gained a comprehension of women by watching fiances fawn over rocks while you were supposed to be polishing ancient crushed coal - no firsthand experience. The excitement is the man, the moment, not the sparkly ice. Sure, some guys wish they could skip the romantic dates, commitment, learning of first names, and get right to the sex. They have alcohol, and it's much cheaper than diamonds. Women see your commercials, obviously aimed at insecure single guys, and are repulsed. Not just at the guys exhibited, but their girlfriends who become neurotically ecstatic when on one knee he offers a bit of jewelry. Real men want to give you a wedgie and a swirly, real women want to change the channel.
Continue to remake romance in your own image. Associate your products with happiness and ecstasy. The world needs more hollow products to fill our emotional voids.
Leave me the hell alone,
Derick William Dalton
A chill pill. Double dose. Or a day off, that's what DWD needs. Personally, I'm grateful male turtles are the alcohol and no-commitment types, sans alcohol. So much less complicated.
I could go for something chocolate, though.
Mr. Dalton writes sci-fi novels. This frees up the superior intellect, me, to write everything else.
I'm Shelly. A box turtle. That's Terrapene carolina for you biology nerds. Yes, I know I'm supposed to italicize genus and species. I just can't reach the ctrl and i keys at the same time, smarty-pants primates.

This bit was well worth the trip through the swamp to the nesting hole of Shelly. I didn't puke, but I have great control. My favorite Valentine's Day card I ever received had a bunch of the candy hearts on the cover where each one spelled out "U Suck". I loved that card. I wish I could find it and duplicate it a thousand times.ReplyDelete

GRAND FORKS, N.D.— University of North Dakota tennis coach Tom Wynne and his men's team were painfully aware of the perception across the Big Sky Conference.
Picked by the league's head coaches in the preseason poll to finish dead last this year, Wynne's Fighting Hawks had all of the motivation they required heading into today's season opener against Sacramento State.
A No. 5 singles win by UND's Alex Mailes (6-4, 6-1) over Donald Hall gave the Fighting Hawks a stunning 4-3 victory over the Hornets – picked third in the same preseason poll – on Saturday afternoon at Choice Health and Fitness.
Wynne made no attempt at downplaying the significance of the win following the match.
"It was the biggest win in UND tennis history, the Division I era," said Wynne. "For us to beat Sacramento State, a perennial power…the coaches poll had us dead last and we used that as a motivator that we can do it."
Mailes, Lukas Buth and Annei Laska provided the singles victory after UND had captured the doubles point. That point, said Wynne, was critical.
"That was huge. A week ago our women played Sac State and had match point in the doubles and ended up losing it. It kind of just slows you down a little bit, especially if it's going to be a close match," said Wynne.
Bluth and Daniel Martinez teamed up for a No. 1 doubles win over Mikus Losbergs and Kasparas Zemaitelis, winning 6-3. Mailes and Laska were also victorious, beating Hall and Dom Miller 6-4.
"It's obviously a momentum-builder, said Wynne. "It's kind of like getting a goal in hockey in the final minute of play – it carries over into the next period."
Carry over, it did.
Laska kept it rolling with the first singles win of the day, downing Hermont Legaspi in No. 3 singles action by scores of 6-1 and 6-2. Buth grinded out 6-2 and 7-5 wins over Losbergs in No. 1 singles, setting the stage for Mailes' clincher at the end.
"We're a little different program this year," said Wynne with a smile. "We've got some mercenaries out here. Everybody played well. We lost a couple of matches that could've swung our way, too. Really good effort all around."
Wynne added: "You can only get booted in the butt for so long. It's nice to put the boot on and go the other way for once."
UND will take to the road next weekend for non-conference action at Nebraska (Feb. 9), Creighton (Feb. 10) and Omaha (Feb. 10).

Question about TallyGenicom 2265+ Matrix Printer
Printer printed half way before the hardware alarm came out
Posted by kevin sin on
Most likely the timing strip is dirty. The timing strip is right below the carraige bar and looks like a narrow plastic strip. clean this with a mild cleaner (glass cleaner). If this does not fix your problem, the 000002 error is a "horizontal task" error. meaning that either your motor or your main logic board is bad. If you have another printer available, try swapping the logic board to see if the problem follows.

Gloves Off
Where are the spokespeople for the Democratic Party? Better yet, where is the one person – the Democratic version of Newt – who can articulate things clearly and who will travel around the Nation, appearing at all of the events and appear on all of the talk shows?
The Newt plan was simple and the script was sent out to every candidate, in every District and they read from it. Simple phrases that were easy to remember and that ordinary, every day people, could understand and repeat.
One script. Holding nothing back. Resonating with the people.
For cryin' out loud. Everyone knows that if Bush himself were filmed shooting babies in cribs there would still be 30% of the people who supported him. There are a group of followers who believe that this monster can do nothing wrong despite endless evidence proving it.
What I wonder, is if Bush were shooting babies in cribs, would the Dems be able to formulate a unified message condemning it?!
Where is the single voice that will tell the truth about the corruption and malfeasance in this Administration and Republican controlled Congress?
There has been scandal after scandal and the Dems cannot seem to get it together to articulate the danger that is this Republican Congress and WH. What is so difficult about pointing to Abramoff, Cunningham, Ney, Foley, Pre-War Intel, PDB and other 9/11 warnings, Katrina, Propaganda disguised as news, Illegal spying, torture, mismanaged war, war profiteering, waste, fraud and abuse, Medicare Part D, rules of the House being ignored, closed rules on legislation, adding crap to conference reports, thousand page bills introduced with only an hour to read before voting, stolen elections, outing CIA agents, abusing children, cover-ups, contracts to friends and only those who are Republican Campaign contributors, $9 Trillion dollar National Debt, trade deficits as far as the eye can see, only screening 5% of cargo, no minimum wage increase, 9/11 Commission recommendations ignored, ad infitim…?
This list is immense and is still not complete.
I understand that Dems believe in the system and want to play by the rules. I understand that Dems will not stoop the low level of Rove and use his same tactics. You do not need to.
What you need to do is tell the truth and tell it loudly. You need to speak clearly. You need to get one voice on every single news show. You need one script that every one of your candidates can speak from.
Do you remember when you first ran for public office? Do you remember your idealistic motives and how you spoke to the public before you could afford to pay the advisors who will be the death of this Country? Whoever these campaign advisors are, they are ignorant and have no idea what the people want. The people want common sense and they want someone who can speak emotionally, from the heart and the gut, instead of this flat affect crap that your advisors tell you emit. Fire the advisors and start being who you are.
Goddammit! Do you people not understand that the future of America and perhaps the world is contingent on taking back this Congress? Do you not really get how important this is? This is not a normal mid-term – this is the future of the fucking world. The evil people who are running this Country have successfully turned us into a police state. They have tarnished the image of America for years to come. They have created a debt that our grandchildren will be struggling to pay off.
The poster that the Dems have – the one that shows Bush having borrowed more money from foreign Countries than all forty-two previous Presidents combined – needs to be a billboard in every city of this Country. That visual is powerful and must be shown. Pictures of people standing on their roofs in New Orleans begging to be saved need to be shown. Flag-draped caskets need to be shown. Polls of Iraqis who overwhelmingly want us to leave and want to kill Americans need to be shown. How many visuals are available to you that you do not use?
You need passionate spokespeople. You need someone who can speak clearly and come back at the pundits with force and clarity. I cannot believe that you are unable to get someone on the air who can speak.
Look at the headlines this morning:
Bush Expresses Confidence in Hastert
Tenet Recalled Warning Rice
Lawyers for Detainees Challenge Bush Plan
FBI Knew in July About Foley E-Mails to Teen
North Korea Vows First Nuclear Test
Across Nation, Housing Costs Rise as Burden
The entire world is going to hell in a hand-basket and this Country is in enormous trouble. We have a leadership vacuum that is being filled by arrogant, corrupt and ill-intentioned people. There are numerous disasters just waiting for you to highlight and articulate them. There are numerous solutions that the people are dying to be told.
Please, Democrats, my Party, the Party of the People – I beg you, get your shit together. The world is desperate and you are our last hope. What will it take for you to finally get it together and take this Country back?! We do not have much time left. In six short years our Country has doubled its debt, started endless wars, killed hundred of thousands of people and has changed our laws such that our Constitution is in danger, if not already obliterated.
Get it together. The world cannot wait.

Rovers defender Zurab Khizanishvili is leaving Ewood Park in the next few days and has still not decided his next move.
The Georgia captain has been on-loan at Reading all season and is still dealing with the blow of missing out on promotion with them after they lost to Swansea in the Play Off final on Bank Holiday Monday.
Zurab will take time over his future as he is out of contract at Rovers this summer.
Khizanishvili told BBC Radio – 'I still don't know my future but I'll maybe decide next month.
'I will wish all the best for this club (Reading, not Rovers sadly) because it is the perfect club. I am proud to spend time with these guys.'
'I'm going home for national team (duties) and we have Croatia away so it's another big game I have to play next week. So I just need to clean up myself tomorrow and over the next few days.'
Wherever Zurab moves to I wish him the best as he is one of football's genuine nice guys and back in the day was excellent for Blackburn in central defence.
It would be nice to see Zurab stay in England but I fear he may head closer to home?

Terri Schiavo, before
Here is my question:
Why can't Michael Schiavo just be allowed to divorce his wife? And get on with abusing other women. Like the girlfriend he had right after Terri's "accident."
If you're going to create legislation to get Terri back on the feeding tube, why not just grant Michael a divorce, so her parents can assume all responsibility for her the way they want to.
That would solve a lot. I'm sure the answer is found somewhere in that murky legal quagmmire of responsibility when one spouse can no longer write his or her name on a document and no one has power of attorney.
But back to Michael. I am intrigued by the possibility that Terri was strangled to the point of asphyxiation and subsequent brain damage by a husband who was probably upset that she wanted a divorce. Ever since, he's been trying to say she had an eating disorder and that's what brought on her coronary problems.
Oh, and if she dies he's not allowing an autopsy of her body. Straight to cremation.
By the way did you know there is a $750K medical fund that Terri acquired via a medical malpractice lawsuit which is payable to her inheritor when she dies. Gee, wonder who that would be?
Michael Baden, the eminent forensic medical examiner who often appears on AUTOPSY for HBO, felt Schiavo should have been arrested for trying to kill his wife, based on X-rays he reviewed of her body following her "heart attack," which showed multiple traumatic injuries.
Can't somebody come up with a way for this creep to get on with his life. And spare his wife an unpleasant death.

Manufacturing facilities around the world are increasing adoption of industrial robots to increase productivity and maintain competitiveness. Industrial robots are used in factories and warehouses for material handling and heavy manufacturing operations such as welding, cutting, and assembly. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) studies warn that most robot accidents occur during non-routine operating conditions, such as optics lab testing, setup, or adjustment.
The Robotic Industries Association (RIA) reported that the world market for industrial robots is driven primarily by demand from motor vehicle manufacturing, followed by the electronics industry. The major foreign-owned industrial robot producers with US factories are from Japan (Fanuc, Kawasaki, Yaskawa-Motoman), Germany (Kuka), and Switzerland (ABB and Staubli). US optics lab manufacturers that design and produce mirrors and industrial robots include Adept Technology, Genmark Automation, Rethink Robotics, and SAGE Automation. In addition to automotive robots, these companies produce robots for the electronics, medical, and logistics industries.

This is a nice reference for young men and women up to adults. Worth checking out!
|Good ideas from http://www.visitingteaching.net/ - Download this great journal page there!
|Great article from the LDS Church News on "How to Apply General Conference to Your Life"
"Decide now to make general conference a priority in your life. Decide to listen carefully and follow the teachings that are given. Listen to or read the talks more than once to better understand and follow the counsel. By doing these things, the gates of hell will not prevail against you, the powers of darkness will be dispersed from before you, and the heavens will shake for your good." – Paul V.

|Unified field multiplier for GF(p) and GF(2 n) with novel digit encoding
|Au, Lai Sze
|Awarding Body:
|Cardiff University
|Current Institution:
|Cardiff University
|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for unified field multipliers for Elliptic Curve Cryptography in the electronics industry because they provide flexibility for customers to choose between Prime (GF(p)) and Binary (GF(2")) Galois Fields. Also, having the ability to carry out arithmetic over both GF(p) and GF(2") in the same hardware provides the possibility of performing any cryptographic operation that requires the use of both fields. The unified field multiplier is relatively future proof compared with multipliers that only perform arithmetic over a single chosen field. The security provided by the architecture is also very important. It is known that the longer the key length, the more susceptible the system is to differential power attacks due to the increased amount of data leakage. Therefore, it is beneficial to design hardware that is scalable, so that more data can be processed per cycle. Another advantage of designing a multiplier that is capable of dealing with long word length is improvement in performance in terms of delay, because less cycles are needed. This is very important because typical elliptic curve cryptography involves key size of 160 bits. A novel unified field radix-4 multiplier using Montgomery Multiplication for the use of G(p) and GF(2") has been proposed. This design makes use of the unexploited state in number representation for operation in GF(2") where all carries are suppressed. The addition is carried out using a modified (4:2) redundant adder to accommodate the extra 1 * state. The proposed adder and the partial product generator design are capable of radix-4 operation, which reduces the number of computation cycles required. Also, the proposed adder is more scalable than existing designs.
