I'm sure that each one of us has an association when it comes to Italy, whether it is Italian football, fashion, or food. One thing is certain – this country doesn't leave anyone cold. The covers of this book hide my Italy, my ordeals at the immigration office, falling in love with pesto and limoncello, relations in the academic world, and painful lessons about dinner etiquette. My Italy actually begins in Finland, moves from a gray dormitory room to the mysterious and colorful old city of Genoa, from there to the cliffs, fishing villages, olive groves, and pine nut forests of Northern Italy.
I don't know yet where and how my Italy will end.
Kristiina Praakli
A multinational circle of friends is seated at the table and the room is full of delectable aromas, emotions and gentle music. It's a cozy evening in August with red wine and the sounds of the Mediterranean Sea.
When the first piatto (plate) is empty, Gloriana asks a question whose actual significance and the only correct answer is known only to the Italians, not to me.
"Yes, of course. Thank you, Gloriana, I would love some more," I say, passing my plate.
Gloriana stares at me for a moment and then looks towards the stove in puzzlement. I direct an equally helpless look towards Andrea that says "But she offered!" Not knowing the local cultural norms is enough to push the atmosphere off balance.
"Ok, if you really want some, I'll put more on the plate for you," says Gloriana and doles out a bit more. I'm the only one eating, red in the face, cursing myself and vowing never to visit Gloriana again. The company has run out of conversation for the moment and the silence is only pierced by the sounds of my fork against the plate. I feel as if all of them have turned their gaze towards me and are watching me eat.

PLEASE READ: Katie threw up again this morning. We get frustrated because we feel it's in her head. But that's an old thought, that leaves us after a few seconds as we're cleaning up and coddling her emotional state at the time. You see, she suffers so much from these "symptoms". Much more than we do… It makes her feel worse than us. She cries, calls herself a bad kid, and repeatedly says, "I'm the worst kid, ever…" with her head in her hands. All of this, even after we tell her this isn't true. Real tears folks, real tears. This is not my kid, this is a kid affected by a horrible disease that makes her not want to eat, struggle with a new diet, on new meds, being poked and prodded and emotionally drained, she stumbles, can't see and hear like she used to, and she's so tired. Tired all of the time. I feel horrible for her and it breaks my heart. I see these other kids, these other families suffering from this #DIPGMonster, #BrainCancer, #Cancer, and I see my future struggles and it breaks my heart. I shake my head sometimes and try to wipe the thought away, but I want to scream! Her type of cancer takes away her sight, hearing, movement, ability to swallow, and express emotions, yet… she will continue to feel everything and thinks the same way a 6 year old would think and feel. She will live in a black cave of nothingness with the thoughts of a 6 year old child wondering why, and scared to death. She deserves more than this. They all do. Today is the last day of #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth. What are we doing, just sitting around watching our children die, my child die. We get 4% people for kids cancer, brain cancer gets 1% and Katie's type of cancer gets even less than that! Change your profile for today. Make people ask why. Use my profile pic or just say something about this day. Make people think about our kids, about what Katie is going through, what we all will go through watching her as this progresses. Share my post. Share someone's post. Say something about this day. Please. For #KatherineTheBrave
Monthly Archives: September 2015
Katherine's Ready for School
Katie says, "Good morning everyone!" She was super out of it this morning. She could barely keep her eyes open through the whole morning process. However she survived it, is cheerful and is on her way to school.#KatherineTheBrave #DIPG #4PercentIsNotEnough
Rally Up Bracelets for Katie!
I loved this boy. And I never had a chance to meet him, which is usually what's required for me to love someone. I'm harder that way. I followed his life. It was instant with him. He had an easy to love face and a story that was easy to connect to. And Katie was going through the same thing at the same time. I feel for this whole family and I dread this scenario in the future. I well up and push it back down quickly, every time the thought crosses my mind. There's nothing you can say to this mom, any mom, me… that will help us or make it easier. And that sucks. And we cancer moms carry that guilt too. Did we do enough, or say enough thank you's for our kid, our family, our caregivers, friends, volunteers, supporters. Were we grateful enough where it showed… Please let it show. Without guilt. It's distracting and painful. It will still be there though. The guilt and worry. We have to keep moving and have a purpose so that we don't stop and lose our focus and all that we've pushed back down, then spills out. I'll find my purpose. I'll have to, or else. If I hurt this bad for a boy that I've never met, I am definitely not prepared for a similar scenario with a child which I carried with me and cherished for nine months and loved for over 7 years. No, that would be impossible without a purpose.#MommaTheBrave

Karl Urban's screen career has included dysfunctional family comedies, epic fantasies and offbeat romances — and that's only the Kiwi projects. Urban was award-nominated for films The Price of Milk and The Irrefutable Truth about Demons, and won for Out of the Blue. In recent years he has appeared in a run of Hollywood projects, including The Bourne Supremacy, Star Trek, and as Judge Dredd in Dredd 3D.
My philosophy is whatever you do, you've got to invest in yourself. If you don't, there are a lot of people out there who will get the job because they're more prepared than you. Karl Urban
In the final episode of the season, larrikin presenters Bill and Ben pretend to offend rugby league stars Monty Betham and Awen Guttenbeil (with a nod to American Beauty). The show's closing references the controversial finale of The Sopranos (complete with mocking soundtrack), and there are cameos from Karl Urban and Temuera Morrison. Ben revels in extended torture of Bill, while Auckland Blues coach Pat Lam concentrates on golfing. Elsewhere a shop dummy does some begging, and a unique interpretation of cross-training enrages a passing screen producer.
In November 1990 misfit loner David Gray (played by Matthew Sunderland) killed 13 of his neighbours in the seaside town of Aramoana, near Dunedin. His rampage lasted 22 hours before he was gunned down by police. Out of the Blue is a dramatised re-enactment of these traumatic events. Directed by Rob Sarkies and co-written with Graeme Tetley, this gut-wrenching film did respectable box office and was lauded at 2008's Qantas Film and TV Awards, winning most feature categories, including best film and screenplay. Warning: excerpt contains realistic gun violence.
Monstrous spiders, dragon-aided epic battles, endangered hobbits and final farewells ... the finale of the Lord of the Rings trilogy boldly upped the ante. Although the first two films had excited viewers, critics and accountants, Return of the King sealed Peter Jackson's place in movie legend. Reviewers praised it with gusto and the film won a staggering 11 Oscars, a total matched only by Titanic and Ben-Hur. Return anointed a Hollywood empire in the Wellington suburb of Miramar. The box office figures weren't half bad, and nor was the effect on New Zealand tourism.
The second Lord of the Rings installment sees hobbit Frodo Baggins continuing his mission to destroy the ring. Meanwhile the Fellowship is breaking apart, and an epic night battle ensues at Helm's Deep. The film marked a star turn by Gollum, the emaciated Andy Serkis-voiced creature whose realisation was a cinema landmark and a triumph for the design and special effects team. Alongside praise for the film's pace and spectacle, The Two Towers broke international opening records, before going on to outgross Fellowship of the Ring, and win two technical Oscars.
The debut feature from writer-director Glenn Standring, The Irrefutable Truth about Demons sees anthropologist Harry Ballard (Karl Urban) threatened by a sinister cult. With the help of beautifully bizarre Bennie (Katie Wolfe) he endures a terrifying night as his friends are killed by demons. Or are they? Hounded by the memory of his dead brother, Harry suffers beatings, heart surgery and assault by cockroaches. Variety said Demons "conjures a creepy, brooding atmosphere and enough thrills to keep young horror enthusiasts glued." The film sold to more than 50 countries.
Lucinda (Danielle Cormack) lives a fairytale life with dairy farmer Rob (Karl Urban), and his 117 cows. But after a freak car accident she decides to test Rob's love for her by trying to make him angry. He passes her tests until a quilt goes missing from their bed; the price of getting it back is high. Harry Sinclair's follow-up to Topless Women Talk about their Lives is quirky and romantic, but not especially fantastical — yet it won a trio of awards at specialist fantasy film festivals overseas. The fulsome soundtrack is performed by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.
Biographer Michael King takes us through the life of pioneering writer Frank Sargeson: from puritanical parents to self-discovery in London, through to decades encouraging an emerging tide of New Zealand writers. The documentary's most priceless moments are the tales told when four of those writers return to Sargeson's fabled fibrolite bach, in Takapuna. Kevin Ireland calls it an "oasis, this marvellous place where books ruled supreme". Sargeson's purposefuly minimalistic writing style, the doco argues, helped NZ literature find its own voice.
The first movie written and directed by playwright Anthony McCarten is a portrait of a family melting down under the media spotlight. The comedy/drama stars Danielle Cormack in two roles — as a swimmer on the cusp of Olympic glory, and as the twin sister back home, looking on as her family descends into spats and bickering as they find the pressure to perform too much to bear. Via Satellite showcases a topline cast, including Tim Balme, Rima Te Wiata, and a scene-stealing and heavily-pregnant Jodie Dorday, who won an NZ TV and Film Award for her work.
Designed to inspire school leavers to find their career, Pathways sees a selection of young New Zealanders talk about their job paths. The pilot episode of this 1994 Careers NZ resource is bookended with a 'mini-drama' about young people flatting together, which includes some familiar faces. Karl Urban plays lazy surfer Wayne, while Robbie Magasiva is the sales assistant whose plans of climbing the career ladder go awry. Marcus Lush plays a DJ who links a series of interviews with people either working or training. Later Lush interviews experts on youth employment prospects.
A family reunion is the perfect vehicle to introduce the characters of this early TV3 soap. Set in a rural hamlet just south of the Bombay Hills, it revolves around the Johnstone family who have farmed the area for 100 years; but times are changing and, following the market crash, so are their fortunes. Beneath the surface of reunion civilities lurks a marriage in tatters, a prodigal son returned, a family inheritance spat and a mystery teenager (Simone Kessell) confusing the bloodlines. The cast included Liddy Holloway, Peter Elliott and a young Karl Urban.
Shortland Street is a fast-paced serial drama set in an inner city Auckland hospital. The long-running South Pacific Pictures production is based around the births, deaths and marriages of the hospital's staff and patients. It screens on TVNZ's TV2 network five days a week. In 2017 the show was set to celebrate its 25th anniversary, making it New Zealand's longest running drama by far. Characters and lines from the show have entered the culture — starting with "you're not in Guatemala now, Dr Ropata!" in the very first episode. Mihi Murray writes about Shortland Street here.
Homeward Bound was TV3's bid for New Zealand on Air funding for a local soap opera. Set around the lives of the rural Johnson family, 22 episodes were produced for the then-nascent network (the series ultimately lost out to TVNZ's Shortland Street). Created by Ross Jennings and written by Michael Noonan, it represented a move back to a small town way of life after the Gloss-y urban excesses of the 1980s; it also explored pressures facing country communities following the stock market crash. The cast included Liddy Holloway, Peter Elliott and a young Karl Urban.
This feature dramatises an ill-fated offensive that Kiwi soldiers undertook during World War I's Gallipoli campaign. On 8 August 1915 the Wellington Battalion briefly seized Chunuk Bair, a pivotal peak overlooking the Dardanelles; they suffered huge losses. The film pitches the attack as a formative New Zealand nationhood moment, with Kiwi guts and resilience countered by inept, careless British generals, as much as their Turkish foes. Filmed on an Avalon set and the Wainuiomata coast, the story was based on Maurice Shadbolt's classic play Once On Chunuk Bair.
A big smoke cousin to Mortimer's Patch, Shark in the Park was New Zealand's first urban cop show. Devised by Graeme Tetley (Ruby and Rata), it portrayed a unit policing inner city Wellington, under the guidance of Inspector Brian 'Sharkie' Finn (Jeffrey Thomas). With its focus on the working lives of the officers, the show followed the character-based storytelling of overseas programmes like The Bill and Hill Street Blues. The first season marked one of the last in-house productions for TVNZ's drama department. The next two series were made independently by The Gibson Group.

More pictures of the pussycat - here she is sleeping on my Gregor Maehle book! My Mum was up staying over Easter, and she has 'added to' the pussycat's name Sansa. This pussycat has a really funny tail - it curls right up and lies over her back - in fact it reminds me of a dog - like a Basenji or one of those Japanese dogs. And she constantly waves it from side to side! So Mum said - oh she should be called Squiggletail - and I'm now calling her Sansa Squiggletail!! It's kind of hard to get her to stay still enough for me to get a good photo of this wiggly tail - this below is the best I could do!
It's been a funny few weeks, yoga-wise. There were a couple of weeks when I only managed one practice a week - sick one week, and completely maxed out at work the next. This coincided with a sudden unexpected temporary closure of the yoga shala I go to. It's finally re-opening next Monday (after a month being closed).
Anyway, after the two weeks of one practice a week (my Sunday morning yoga saved my life!) I managed to re-start my lunchtime practices at work - but really noticed how my stamina had fallen away! And then Easter arrived along with my mother and all the required entertaining ... sigh. I think I managed to practice 2 times over Easter.
Luckily back to 'normal' practice again now! Though I still think that when I get back to class next week my core stamina will still be a bit down. Which is a pity as I had planned to re-start doing most of the poses that have been on hold since I did my knee meniscus injury last June/July (was it really that long ago?!) Now I'll just have to see how I go ... :)

Two Dead, Four Missing in Collision off South Korea
Two fishermen lost their lives in a collision between the 37,700 dwt bulk carrier MV Inspiration Lake and a fishing boat in the early morning hours on January 10.
One of the crew has been rescued while a search for the remaining four crew members of the fishing boat is currently ongoing, Regina Bulkship, the owner of the bulk carrier, said.
Following the collision, which occurred near Port of Pohang, South Korea, the fishing boat capsized.
The Korean Navy and Korean Coast Guard are currently on site to coordinate the rescue operation.
The incident did not result in any oil leakage from the bulk carrier, which was en route to Nakhodka, Russia at the time.
The company is currently investigating the cause of the collision and assessing the extent of the damage to the bulker MV Inspiration Lake.
A full investigation will follow, Uni-Asia Holdings Limited informed.

Recently, three senators Ed Royce (R-Calif), Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), and Terri Sewell (D-AL) from the House have introduced a new piece of legislation that would basically allow the government sponsored enterprise to keep alternative credit score models in mind. In other words, this would put pressure to use alternatives other than the FICO credit score model the GSE's use at the moment.
Sewell had said in a statement that she finds this fight critical partially because she strongly believes that these credit score models are not only outdated, but also fail to take certain factors into account (i.e., if borrowers were able to pay their rent on time). Essentially, the reps want to move away from the Fico's monopoly credit score models.
In turn, this legislation would open the market for responsible, qualified potential homeowners who are actually qualified to buy a home. This could be a step in the right direction in terms of rectifying the issue in an effective way and allowing homeownership to become more of an attainable dream for different Americans across the country.
If this would pass, it would allow for more competition and open opportunities to other credit score companies that currently are unable to change the status quo. One company that is excited for the possible change is Vantagescore Solutions, which would definitely benefit from the increased market competition.
In a statement, the CEO of Vantagescore Solutions Barrett Burns said that "From the beginning our ask has always been to allow lenders to choose among today's more predictive models that score more creditworthy consumers without lowering credit standards."

While I usually like to keep anything political or controversial away from the blogosphere, I do feel that today is important enough to make an exception. I am in no way telling you who to vote for or which party to support, but instead explain in a bipartisan way why you should vote. And if that doesn't get you pumped up to cast your vote, than maybe the photo above of some scrumptious sugar cookies will, ha.
Voting is one of the most important rights we have as Americans. Many countries don't offer that right to their citizens, so we truly are privileged to have the opportunity to voice our opinion on who should lead this country. Many have fought, died and sacrificed their lives for you to be able to vote and I think it's a grave disservice for you to ignore that right.
So I implore you to educate yourself on the issues, especially the key ones of this election. While you may think your vote doesn't matter or the issues don't affect you, I promise you that they do. I promise you that you may not see the effects now, but you will as you get older. When you enter a higher tax bracket, realize where your tax dollars go, when you apply for jobs, buy a house or a car, turn 26 and finally have to start paying for your health insurance. I assure you that the issues being discussed today, will affect you now and on into your future.
Don't let media bias or anyone tell you how to vote. Educate yourself, choose a candidate that best falls inline with your views, and VOTE. Vote for the person YOU want to represent YOU. It is soooooo darn important that you do. If you want to learn more about the issues, a great site called theSkimm has put together a mid-term election guide to break it all down for you. #SkimmTheVote
SOOO with all this said, PLEASE get out and vote today. You can easily search the internet to find the closest polling location to you and to find out how late they're open. Polls stay open well past 6:00 p.m., so the "I have to work" excuse doesn't float here people. I truly hope you do exercise your right and don't be afraid to show it. Share your "I just voted" stickers and pins proudly on social media!!

Intro5pect Bio:
A new generation of political electro-punk......We aren't here simply to entertain. Music can be an incredible force for social and political change, through either influence or inspiration. In this artificial, consumerized, intolerant, moneycentric culture, we stand defiant... willing to look past pre-defined labels of race, sex, religion, class, nationality, and subculture, in order to create something new, and to make a positive difference in the world.
Intro5pect started in the winter 97/98. Punk rock had been (and still is) painted into a corner. What was once meaningful, intelligent, and powerful music has been dumbed down so as to cater to the people that it originally rebelled against. Likewise, a lot of the other music that had once been underground and an alternative to the corporate music business was (and has been) becoming more commercialized.
Drum & Bass started showing up in shampoo ads. The Smiths and The Buzzcocks ended up being used in car ads?! Something is wrong when there is no value placed on music other than as a commercial tool.
Intro5pect was a result of a frustration with the way that music was going. Not only the way that the music industry was going, but with music itself. There is only so much bad music that you can listen to before you get sickened by it. By the lack of originality, the lack of sincerity, the lack of concern, and worst of all, the lack of intelligence. The idea behind Intro5pect was simple; to not be any of the things that we hated. We wanted to take the philosophy that punk was founded on and take it to it's end, to create music that put honesty, feeling, and energy above all else, with no regard for social cliches, no regard for commercialism, and no bullshit. Whatever expresses the idea the best gets used.
Samples, guitars, breakbeats, synth all have their place. With the idea of what we wanted to do in place, we set about doing it (which is an entirely different thing, as we found out).
Most of 98 was spent working on writing and recording and resulted in a 4 song demo tape that was passed around to friends and handed out at shows.
One of the friends who ended up with a tape was Shahab Zargari. Shahab had been doing his own Zine known as "The Chaos zine" for a while and was active in setting up and helping out lots of peacepunk influenced activities (food not bombs, feminist groups, and all around good stuff). As luck would have it, Shahab was looking to start a record label and shared many of the same ideas as Intro5pect. It took quite a while, but 99 saw the first ever release for both Intro5pect and the newly founded Geykido Comet Records with Intro5pect's "Education" 7".
Summer 2002 and another chapter in the Intro5pect Saga. We signed to A-F Records and recorded what was the first full length album.

Mis-using hurdle drills to train agility
May 1, 2009
Thinking about how versatile hurdles (especially the mini "banana" hurdles) are in a speed and agility program has been on my mind I guess for the last couple weeks. In programming, I know I have sued them for jumps and hops (plyometrics) and also for quick feet drills when I speed and agility sessions over the last two summers at SST. Needless to say, I thought of them as quite a useful piece of equipment for these sessions! However, this year my ideas on some of this have changed because of two reasons which are related to one another:
1) As my training philosophy has developed, I've realized that I need to design programs or speed/agility sessions so that sport performance is improved, not just that a training effect is achieved.
2) Reading Coach Mike Boyle's book Functional Training for Sports, I once again learned something that left me with the "how did I not think of this already" thought in my head.
So, here's my take on hurdles:
- They are great for plyometrics!
- Using them for quick feet shuffling-type agility drills promotes a high-knee, step-over typer action (the Ah-Ha moment out of Coach Boyle's book), yet in sport, athletes will keep their feet low to the ground when shuffling to their right or left or taking crossover steps. If I want to train lateral movment or agility via shuffling or lateral running then I would rather opt to use a piece of equipment which lies flat on the ground so that the movement can be performed as it is in the sport.
To continue with this thought, it isn't that I feel that these quick feet type drills don't develop the intended result, just that after considering the athlete's sport, it appears that there are better drill choices or pieces of equipment to use.
Anyways with that said, I realize I haven't blogged in oh, AGES, so I'll do my best to get back on track!


text: TV Sochi's Buzz Problem: Pinkeye and Awkward Interviews Outshine Athletes 5:00 AM PST 2/19/2014 by Michael O'Connell FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Bob Costas' absence and a lack of breakout stars on Team USA make NBC's mixed ratings victory one that shows signs of fatigue. This story first appeared in the Feb. 28 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Bob Costas' crippling pinkeye won't win any gold medals, but it has emerged as the star of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Through the first 11 days of NBC's coverage, Sochi had yet to produce a breakout personality. The biggest stories were the anchor's weeklong conjunctivitis-induced absence, pinch hitters Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira and, most embarrassingly for the network, alpine skier Bode Miller crying after being prodded about his dead brother by correspondent Christin Cooper. NBC's solid viewership has shown signs of fatigue, lagging 11 percent behind Vancouver in 2010 for the past 11 days and dipping below the similarly time-delayed 2006 Turin Games on Feb. 15. PHOTOS: Winter Olympics Kicks Off With White Lights and Icebergs at Opening Ceremony "It's been very underwhelming, for sure," says Patrick Rishe, director of sports consulting firm Sportsimpacts, adding, "The lack of really dramatic American performances is a big part of it." Two blows to NBC's coverage have been the scarcity of Winter Games stalwarts Lindsey Vonn and Shaun White. Replacing them, says Rishe, is no easy task: "Sometimes it's just the dynamic of the sport. Gabby Douglas broke out in London, but the difference there is that gymnasts stay front and center [with events] for the majority of the games." NBC Olympics executive producer Jim Bell, who has been more accessible to reporters during Sochi than during his first go in London, tells THR he is pleased with the network's overall performance: "Would it be nice to have another gold medal here or there? Sure, but that's always the case in any Olympics." Bell would not connect Costas' absence to ratings dips (Vieira hosted the first night to dip below Turin), though the anchor's Feb. 17 return (and a gold medal for U.S. ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White) brought Sochi's first nightly ratings advantage over Vancouver. "It's like your team takes the field for a big game -- you want to be able to do your part of it," says Costas. "That was my frustration." To be sure, NBC has plenty to be happy about. Across TV and digital platforms, NBC Sports put total Olympics viewership through the first week at 151 million, a record. For NBC Sports Network, the first Winter Games since its 2012 launch has been a blessing. The Feb. 15 U.S. men's hockey victory over Russia ranks as the network's most watched (4.1 million viewers) and most streamed (600,000 unique users) game for the sport. "My sense is that when we're finished, with NBC Sports Network, the broadcast network, streaming and all of the various portals, the audience is much larger than what we're hearing about now," says former CBS Sports president Neal Pilson, whose Winter Games roots date to 1994. "I think the numbers are quite respectable." VIDEO: Returning Host Bob Costas Says 'If I Waited Until I Was 100 Percent, the Olympics Would Be Over' But it's more than just a question of ratings. NBC has been criticized for focusing on athletes' personal tragedies. In addition to the Miller exchange, Vieira discussed a miscarriage with skeleton silver medalist Noelle Pikus-Pace, and reporter Lewis Johnson probed Pikus-Pace's teammate Katie Uhlaender about her dead father. A Salt Lake Tribune reporter began a formal tally of NBC segments focusing on dead relatives and found the network was averaging three a day. Further, NBC's Today lost the ratings battle with ABC's Good Morning America on the first Olympic Tuesday, an anomaly that has overshadowed other victories. Financials also are tight. Spending $775 million for Sochi broadcast rights, NBC is expected to turn a profit from the Games. But NBC Sports Group chairman Mark Lazarus, who told reporters there still was ad inventory available at a premium, declined comment on what the total haul might be: "We are north of $800 million, and until we are done, that is the number we are going with." Men's hockey forward T. J. Oshie was a hero for a day after his game-clinching shootout goal against Russia, and hockey could prove an even bigger draw if the U.S. faces reigning champ Canada in the semifinals or Russia in the final. But figure skating remains Sochi's best hope for a smash. Gracie Gold is America's last bid for stardom. If a new star doesn't emerge, NBC plans to wheel out old ones. A documentary about skater Nancy Kerrigan's 1994 clubbing at the hands of Tonya Harding's then-husband boasts Kerrigan's first sit-down interview about the topic. NBC will air it before the Closing Ceremony, hoping to end the Olympics with a ratings bang. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Michael O'Connell firstname.lastname@example.com mikeylikestv

graved, but form part of the large collection of his autographs in the library of the Conservatoire. [App. p.652 "Add to list of works an oratorio, 'L'Arche d'alliance,' performed at the Concert Spirituel; Choruses to the tragedy of 'Electra' (1783); 'Berthe' (with Philidor and Botson, Brussels 1775); operas, 'Hylas et Silvie,' 'La Reprise de Thoulon,' and 'Le Perigourdin,' not publicly performed. It should also be noticed that the introduction of horns into the orchestra is attributed to him, and that the employment of the gong or tam-tam in his funeral music in honour of Mirabeau is the first instance of its use as an orchestral instrument."]
Gossec's life may be held up as a model to young artists; without money or friends, we may even say without genius, and without the aid of masters, he educated himself, and by toil and study attained the rank of a classical composer. His career presents one unfortunate peculiarity. No sooner had he worked out an original idea than some man of genius stepped forward and appropriated the ground he had won. As a writer of symphonies he saw his 'Chasse' and his 2ist Symphony in D eclipsed by those of Haydn; as a composer of sacred music he was surpassed by Mozart, in spite of the long-continued popularity of his 'Messe des Morts'; and at the theatre he was entirely thrown into the shade by Grétry and Gluck. In spite of all this, however, the French school has good reason to be proud of him; he was completely exempt from envy, and, with a disinterestedness truly praiseworthy, did all in his power to promote the works of his great rivals. Nature and his many struggles had made him usually very reserved, but he could be kind on occasion, as he was to Mozart in 1778, who hits him off in a line—'Mein sehr guter Freund und sehr trockener Mann' (April 5).
An oil-painting of him ornaments one of the rooms in the library of the Conservatoire. There is another small portrait engraved by Frémy after Brun, and a marble bust by Caillouete, a pupil of Cartellier. The Belgians, always ready to show honour to the illustrious men of their own country, have lately erected at Vergnies a monument to the memory of Gossec, in the form of a quadrangular fountain surmounted by his bust. It was inaugurated Sept. 9, 1877.
In England Gossec is almost entirely unknown. Probably the only piece published here is the 'O Salutaris' named above, and the fine library of the Sacred Harmonic Society contains but one of his compositions.
GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG. The fourth and last piece in Wagner's 'Ring des Nibelungen,' first performed at Bayreuth, Aug. 17, 1876.
GOUDIMEL, CLAUDE, a celebrated teacher and composer, born at Vaison, in the neighbourhood of Avignon, in the early part of the 16th century. He betook himself to Rome, and opened a music school there, numbering amongst his pupils such distinguished musicians as Animuccia, Bettini (called 'il Fornarino'), 'Alessandro della Viola,' Nanini, and, above all, Palestrina. Masses and motets, written at this period, are preserved in the Vatican and Vallicellan libraries at Rome. Eitner's Bibliographie der Musik-Sammelwerke (Berlin, 1877) gives a list of more than 60 compositions printed between the years 1549 and 1597. The 4th book 'Ecclesiasticarum cantionum,' etc. (Antwerp, Tylman Susato 1554), has a motet, 'Domine quid multiplicati sunt,' which Burney has printed in score in his History. In 1555 Goudimel appears to have settled in Paris; and the work, entitled 'Q. Horatii odæ omnes ad rythmos musicos redactæ' is issued in the joint names of Duchemin and Goudimel. This partnership lasted for a short time, probably only for the purpose of bringing out this particular work, for we find in the next year Duchemin's name alone on the title-page of his publications. Goudimel commenced writing music to the whole psalms of David in the form of motets, but did not live to complete the work. He also put music to the French metrical version of the Psalms of Marot and Beza, the music being in 4 parts, the counterpoint note against note, and the melody in the tenor (Lyons, Jaqui, 1565). The melodies are those used by Claude Le Jeune in a similar work, and were probably of German origin. The translation had not been originally intended for any particular religous sect, or for any form of public worship. The Sorbonne saw nothing in it contrary to the faith, and the Catholics at first used it freely. It is thus doubtful whether Goudimel's work, which he expressly states in his preface is for private use only, is enough to prove that he became a Protestant. It is certainly not enough to justify Hawkins (Hist. ch. 88) in denying the possibility of his having lived at Rome or having taught Palestrina. But Calvin's introduction of psalm, singing into the public worship of his followers stamped it as heretical, and Goudimel fell a victim to his connection with it. He was killed at Lyons in the massacre on St. Bartholomew's day, Aug. 24, 1572, by 'les ennemis de la gloire de Dieu et quelques mechants envieux de l'honneur qu'il avait acquis.'
GOULDING & DALMAINE, a noted English firm of music publishers. Thomas Dalmaine, late of 20 Soho Square, commenced his career by joining Messrs. Goulding and Phipps, 'Music Sellers to their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales,' at 45 Pall Mall and 76 St. James's Street, about 1800. Mr. Goulding, however, was in that line of business in the year 1794 in James Street, Covent Garden (Musical Directory of that date). They published songs and ballads composed by Mazzinghi, Reeve, Shield, etc. In 1806, 7, 8 we find the firm at 124 New Bond Street. In 1809, on the secession of Phipps, they removed to 20 Soho Square, where they secured the publication of the works of Bishop. The house eventually became the most prominent publishing firm in London for the production of works of English composers, up to about the period when Auber produced his opera 'La Muette' (Feb. 1828), the publication of which induced Mr. Dalmaiue to purchase the exclusive publication for England of Auber's future works, though by the decision of the House of Lords (1854) he was unable to maintain that right. The firm did not concern itself with classical music, and although its catalogue contains no less than 300 pages, we look in vain for the great works of Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, or Mendelssohn. Under the management of his nephew Mackinlay, Dalmaine retired on an annuity of £600, after which the house dwindled down to a fourth-rate establishment, and in 1858 removed to 104 Bond. Street, where Dalmaine died at the age of 83.

My son in law is a landscaper. He uses regular boxed salt to get rid of weeds and it really does work. How nice to find something so cheap and eco friendly to take care of weed problems.
By gem from VA
A great, thrifty, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly way to rid spaces of weeds is to simply pour boiling water on them. I use my electric tea kettle and bring some water to a boil. Then I go out and pour the boiling water on any weeds I want to get rid of. It really works! Unlike chemical weed killers, the weeds disappear after just one day! They don't grow back either. Of course, you must be careful not to burn yourself or get any boiling water on any plants that you do not want to kill.
Source: A dog rescue newsletter - it was a suggestion to get rid of weeds without using chemicals that could harm your pets.
By Carol from Iowa from IA
Keep the weeds down for over a year in a rock garden by using white vinegar. It may even last longer than a year. I no longer have weeds in my white rock. It kills everything, so keep it away from the lawn and flowers.
By Ardis Ilene
Spray hot vinegar on the weeds. No chemicals, and very organic. To help prevent germination of weeds, scatter corn meal around before a rain.
Source: Dave The Garden Guy on Ch 3 here in Phoenix recommends this.
By Pat from Phoenix, AZ
I have lots of rocks around all my flower beds in my yard. Some are really large, and weeds always found a space to come up in between them. It was difficult to move them each time this happened.
So three years ago, my husband and I moved each rock back, sprayed for weeds and pulled large ones. Then we placed two layers of weed cloth under and up the back sides of the rocks. This also kept soil from washing in between rocks, as it lined the beds, but is not visible.
We have not had to deal with weeds yet, and it has been wonderful to see only the pretty rocks and flowers.
Source: Our own desperation to not have to fight weeds.
By Betty from Warrensburg, MO
Most of the rocks that I move are for edging, which would make them around bowling-ball size. The tines of the rake hook onto the ragged edges of the rocks very well, and you can just move them along the ground without having to bend over.

There are weeds in bricks near my garden. How can I get rid of them without killing my plants?
By Brenda
Pour boiling water on them.
Vinegar is good. Just dont get it on the plants
Do you use white or cider vinegar when you spray and do you spray on warm or cold
I live in Arizona an get these sticky weeds that are in my rocks. I have try everything can someone plz help?
Second question does anyone know what the landscapers use that is blue?
Ive try every kind of store products and they don't work. I also tried the salt, vinegar, and dish soap.
I"ve had great luck killing weeds with boiling hot water. You just pour it over the suckers and they don't stand a chance.
Spray with vinegar. Natural and effective.
It works for me too, especially on the driveway and sidewalk. I have also poured boiling water on sugar ant nests.
How dI'd hou find where the sugar ants were nesting? Our house is surrounded by them! I think I'll pour boiling water aroundthe entire perimeter!
Does anyone have any ideas for how to kill weeds among the stones and also in the carport which is made up of brick tiles. I have tried vinegar but it does not work. Thanks.
By annette from Sydney, Australia
Try spraying bleach.
Pour boiling water over the weeds.
1 gal of vinegar, 1/2 cup regular table salt, a GOOD squirt of LEMON dish detergent in a watering can. Mix together so salt dissolves and 'water' the weeds. They will be dead by morning! I do this monthly in my dog's pen to keep grass & weeds down with great success.
What do you do with the dogs when you use the boiling water with vinegar
Does rock salt kill grass in a rock walkway?
By Karen
1 gallon white vinegar, 1 cup table salt, and 1 tablespoon dishwashing liquid. Pour this on the weeds.
Or you can just pour Morton table salt on the weeds in between the rocks. Make sure it is mounded or sticking up in mounds at least one inch or so above the rocks.
Blessings, Robyn
Take your tea kettle full of boiling water to the weeds. Cheaper and works on most. GG Vi

Maybe you don't like chemicals but I do know Round-up works great. Vinegar seems to do it as a one time spot kill but they come back. (01/30/2009)

You might try salt if you are sure it will not run off into other vegetation. Boiling water works on smaller areas--I've used it on grass coming up in a brick walkway. (01/30/2009)
By OliveOyl
I would put newspaper down and cover it with dirt or use plastic. This might work for you if the rocks are close together, but not so much if the rocks are spaced far apart.

Buy the vinegar from a plant nursery (it's much stronger!), also if you heat it up it works even better. Boiling water works temporarily. You can also buy the kind of salt they put on roads, but this will stop everything from growing forever! If you use the salt, first dissolve it in water, then pour or spray it on. For large areas you can sprinkle it on with a Parmesan shaker (from the dollar store) then water the area with a hose to dissolve it. Don't use very much water, you want the salt to stay close to the surface. Don't use much salt because this isn't very good for the water table.
Here in Seattle we never salt our roads because it can change the salt content in our rivers, lakes, the sound, and it kills the salmon. But in places like Chicago and Minnesota they use rock salt all the time on the roads. If you can't find rock salt buy the salt they use in water softeners (it's sold at Home Depot where they sell water purifiers and it's pretty cheap. It looks like crystals).
Stay away from chemicals. (01/30/2009)
By Cyinda
I don't know anything about your rock area, but rather than pouring salt or vinegar on it which will kill any grass or others plants it leaks on to, I would just plant some creeping thyme or something like that.
Thyme, is very low lying and grows even more as you walk on it. It will also keep the area a little cooler rather than just having heat reflecting rocks. Plus it smells good as it is walked on or trimmed. It will drown out the weeds and take over the area providing beauty and be usefulness. by the way, rock salt has other chemicals in it, it is not purified salt. (01/31/2009)

My sister swears by straight Clorox for removing weeds from her rock garden. She sprays it on like Round-Up and it works just as well, only cheaper. I haven't tried it myself but I've seen her garden and she has no weeds! (01/31/2009)
By Dena Jodway
I don't know what the other person did that they had bad results with Round Up. Maybe they watered too soon after using it. You need to wait 48hrs after using it, also it needs to be at least 78 degrees for it to work. I use it all the time. I like it cause it doesn't hurt the ground or birds and bees after it hits the ground. I have also heard that pouring boiling water on the weeds works. I tried it once and it didn't seem to help. (02/03/2009)
Rock salt can destroy a lot more than you plan on ridding yourself of. Check out my MN yard. If you are set on that, go buy solar water softener salt. Comes crushed in some brands.
I swear by the vinegar. Straight from the jug to the spray bottle. If you have rain, have to do treatment again. And you can control where you spray. This is the most earth friendly I can come up with. (02/03/2009)
By Grandma J
They do make weed torches. They are light and easy to use. They are not pricey either. (02/04/2009)
By Laura Meller
I have a 20'x40' dog pen that I de-weed monthly. I use 1 gal vinegar [store brand], a 'healthy' squirt of any lemon dish soap, and and half cup table salt. The vinegar burns the part of the weed below the surface, the salt gets what the vinegar doesn't and the soap is for absorption by the plant of the entire mixture. Have used it for years with great success.
The dogs' "presents" act as fertilizer for the weeds, but this recipe lets me have to treat the pen only monthly or 5-6 weeks. (02/04/2009)
I use a granular product called Noxall, it works for a year. I love the flaming torch, it's fun to go around making little weeds droop and die. You could put down thick (one inch) newspaper and have carpet or gravel over that for a longtime no-chemical solution. Carpet lasts for years with a barrier underneath it. Check the dumpster behind a carpet store regularly and they'll thank you to take it away. (02/05/2009)
You can use boiling hot water, whether you cooked your brussel sprouts in it or not. It will kill the weed. It will also loosen the roots enough so you can pull it out the following day. If you make yourself tea from a kettle, you can empty the remainder onto a specific weed to try it out. Can't hurt and it's practically free. (02/06/2009)

President Trump lashed out at Alec Baldwin in a typo-ridden tweet early Friday morning about the actor's recent assertion that he is tired of playing the commander in chief on NBC's "Saturday Night Live."
"Alex Baldwin [sic], whose dieing [sic] mediocre career was saved by his impersonation of me on SNL, now says playing DJT was agony for him," Trump tweeted at 5:42 a.m. ET, about an hour after "Fox & Friends First" aired a segment on Baldwin's lament. "Alex [sic], it was also agony for those who were forced to watch. You were terrible. Bring back Darrell Hammond, much funnier and a far greater talent!"
The president subsequently deleted and resubmitted the statement without typos.
Alec Baldwin, whose dying mediocre career was saved by his terrible impersonation of me on SNL, now says playing me was agony. Alec, it was agony for those who were forced to watch. Bring back Darrell Hammond, funnier and a far greater talent!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 2, 2018
Baldwin responded less than an hour later with a tweet predicting the collapse of Trump's presidency.
Agony though it may be, I'd like to hang in there for the impeachment hearings, the resignation speech, the farewell helicopter ride to Mara-A-Lago. You know. The Good Stuff. That we've all been waiting for.

Baldwin's impersonation of Trump began in 2016, when he replaced Hammond to portray Trump during the presidential debates. Trump repeatedly expressed his displeasure with the parody, at one point accusing "SNL" of carrying out a "hit job" on him. Earlier during the campaign, Trump supported the show and even hosted it in November 2015.
But Trump lashed out after being skewered by "SNL" sketches.
"Time to retire the boring and unfunny show," Trump tweeted on Oct. 16, 2016. "Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!"
Baldwin has continued to play Trump on "SNL" throughout his presidency, winning an Emmy Award last year for his sendup of the commander in tweet.
In his recent memoir, Baldwin admitted that he had never tried to impersonate Trump before "SNL."
"When the stage manager took me to my mark for the first dress rehearsal, I had no idea what I was going to do. I mean, literally, the moment I walked out, I just said to myself, 'Eyebrow up,' and I tried to stick my face and my mouth out," Baldwin wrote. "To me Trump is someone who is always searching for a stronger, better word, but he never finds it."
In Trump, Baldwin says he's found his most popular character: "The 'SNL' Trump sketches prompted people to approach me, thank me, and beseech me to 'keep going' more than any other portrayal or piece I have performed."

Followers of this blog know that I am not a fan of text messages or more specifically the crazy rates cell phone companies charge for them. These 160-character (and by the way, when's the last time you got a 160-character message from someone) communiqués can cost 20 cents a message.
However, some people have avoided this problem by getting unlimited text messaging. One option to take advantage of this is to send and receive massive amounts of messages, but that doesn't show much creativity. One way to really take advantage of unlimited texting is a new service called DotGo, which I heard about here from the good folks at technologizer.com.
DotGo allows you to send the domain name of a website in a text message to them. The top-level domain (e.g. .com, .org. .edu) will determine the number that what number you use for the text message. The number is actually spelled out using the letter values on the number pad, (DOTCOM address go to the number 368266.) which makes it easy to remember.
You are then sent a text message with a description of how to interact with the website you've entered. When you use this website techeap.com, you'll get a list of the last ten blog posts (in 3 separate messages) and if you wanted to read any of them you would just reply with the number for that entry. Dotgo would then send you a series of text messages until the whole article is sent.
While this may not be the most efficient way to read a website, many other website are much more optimized to use this technology. If you use enter Google or Yahoo and a search term, DotGo will return some of the top hits. There is a simulator on their website, but it was not working for me when I tried it.
One very useful integration for me was with NJTransit. You simply send them the message NJTransit and the locations you want to go between, (for example "njtransit nypenn woodbridge") and they will send you back a schedule of trains.
Some queries got returned faster than others and my tests were mostly done during off-hours, but the service was pretty speedy overall. While this certainly will not replace browsing on a web-enabled cell phone, if you don't have an advanced phone and you need a way to get information, this may be exactly what you need.
The service is free, but some of the sites it has integrated with will have ads embedded at the end of messages about them. They promise and I haven't gotten any spam or other unrequested messages from them. All of the tests I did, did not have any ads, but I'm sure that will change as the service matures.
Is this something that you might use? Let me know in the comments.

Lately, I've been wearing glasses a lot more often than I used to. As you can imagine, there's many reasons that I've been choosing glasses over contacts, but one of the biggest is that I've been waking up extra early in the morning.
Let me preface by saying, waking up early has never been easy for me. Even though I love the idea of waking up early, it's still difficult to motivate myself to physically get out of bed! Naturally, the early wakeup time has been one of the biggest adjustments I've made since starting my full-time job. When I worked for myself, I woke up at around 8:30 each morning. Now, I'm up at 6:20 and out the door by 7:15!
In order to squeeze in as many precious moments of sleep in as possible, I've been trying to find ways to shorten my morning routine. Wearing glasses instead of contacts saves me a tiny bit of time! However, those of you who are interested in finding out more about contact lens, you might be interested in checking somewhere like Optometrist New York City.
As you might remember from my post a couple of months ago, I'm a Clearly Ambassador! Clearly (pun intended), I love wearing glasses! By choosing to wear glasses over contacts, I don't feel like I'm "compromising" on style.
Lately, my go-to pair of glasses are the Joseph Marc Observation aviator frames. I have a very small head, so I have them in the a size small. I usually gravitate towards oversized plastic frames (as you can see here), but what I love about these is that they're completely different than anything else I have!
Since I've been wearing those frames so often, I've received some questions about them via Instagram stories. Quite a few people have asked where I got them. When I say they're from Clearly, the next question is always – "but how did you know they'd look good on you without trying them on in person"? Trust me, it's easier than you'd think!
I thought it might be helpful to share some of my tips and tricks for how to buy glasses online. Over the years, I've ordered several frames online and I've never received a pair that looks bad on me. There's been a few times that I've had to make minor adjustments, but that's not a deal breaker.
How to Buy Glasses Online – 4 Easy Tips!
- Know your frame size – More than anything, it's important that you choose frames that will physically fit the size of your face. Clearly offers the MyFit tool to help with this. Once you add your measurements to your account, they automatically filter the styles so you can shop what will fit you. I know it's a bit weird to think that your face has measurements, but knowing your frame size will help tremendously.
- Pick the right style for your face shape – As you can imagine, your face shape has a big impact on how glasses will look on you. While finding the right size is a lot more crucial to your success in finding a great pair of glasses, face shape is another factor to consider.
- Get a prescription from an Optometrist – There is no point of shopping for a pair of glasses when they're not going to be the correct prescription for you. It's recommended that you visit an Optometrist every two years to ensure your prescription is up to date. Even though they sell glasses at the Optometrist, they're usually very expensive. If you're on a budget (and don't like pushy sales people giving you an unwanted opinion), you will have a lot more success ordering online.
- Don't be afraid to try something new – Just because you've never tried a particular style of frames before, doesn't mean they won't look great on you! In fashion, your best accessory is confidence. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's true. If you have the confidence to pull off a new-to-you style (like aviators), then go for it, girlfriend!
Clearly was kind enough to offer my readers 20% off a full pair of eyeglasses (frames and lenses, including upgrades) with the code JACKIEG. Happy shopping!
This post was written in collaboration with Clearly. As always, all opinions are my own.

What tips would you give a mom who wants to write a book?
Do not drop scheduled assignments to write a book — you will regret it later. Keep plugging away at your regular work because it keeps money coming in while you're working on the book. Instead, find time to write during what would normally be non-work hours if you have to. That includes early mornings, evenings or weekends. I found my peak writing time to be in the early morning before the kids woke up. I hit the computer with coffee in hand between 5 and 6:30 a.m. most days, even on weekends. Find a writing time that works for you and run with it.

Christian Prommer
Drumlesson Zwei
Some ideas are just so good, they deserve a second chapter. Like Christian Prommer's Drumlesson Vol. 1 album, released in 2008, which featured instrumental jazz versions of legendary techno and electronic tracks including Derrick May's Strings of Life, Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express and Josh Wink's Higher State of Consciousness.
Critics and audiences were united in their positive reactions to the album. "Makes you feel cool just listening to it," gushed Mixmag's four-star review, while Clash Magazine called it "an intriguing and successful outing. FlyGobalMusic claimed "this album is as near perfection as it is possible to be", and Properly Chilled conclude that "Christian Prommer's Drumlesson will put a tap in your foot, a snap on your fingers, and a smile across your bohemian soul."
High praise indeed. Even more flattering, the artists themselves sent warm messages of support to Christian. "Nice work Mr. Prommer", said Derrick May. "It's an honour to be covered in such a brilliant way," agreed Patrick Pulsinger.
Now the Munich-based drummer, DJ and producer returns with a second volume of inspired electro-organic cover versions. The musical mix remains ambitiously broad, from Carl Craig to Laurent Garnier, from Underground Resistance to Jean-Michel Jarre. Since the first album, the Drumlesson collective has grown from a studio concept to a fully working live band. Christian was also more directly involved in playing drums, piano and percussion alongside guitarist Uwe Karpa, keyboard player Roberto Di Gioia, percussionist Ernst Ströer, bass guitarist Christian Diener and drummer Matteo Scrimali. After the recording sessions, he also worked on each track in his studio, switching roles from live player to electronic producer.
"On the last record, everything was played and performance oriented," Christian explains. "This one was more produced and laid out like a concept. Normally when I do my electronic music, everything is programmed and very controlled. So for me, this was the best of both worlds – having the guys play really interesting stuff, and then working with it."
As on the first album, classic Detroit techno is a key inspiration for Drumlesson Zwei. The album opens with the cinematic majesty of Sandstorms, a shimmering and seductive reworking of an obscure Carl Craig tune. Christian and his band also sink their teeth into two versions of Jaguar, the legendary dancefloor anthem by DJ Rolando and Underground Resistance's Mad Mike Banks.
"A classic Detroit techno tune," says Christian. "We did two versions 'Äì part one I like to call the 'ÄòWhite Stripes of jazz' version because it's really rocking, just drums and bass and not much more. The second part is more of a Belearic-goes-Middle Eastern dance anthem with a lot of prepared piano, guitar tracks and drum layers. That's a real killer tune for me to play when I DJ."
Christian and his band have also applied their open-minded jazz attitude to the cream of European house, techno and electro. The minimalist throb of Groove La Chord by Stockholm's Aril Brikha is reborn as a futuristic tropical samba. Sleepy Hollow by the Berlin-based Stefan Goldmann becomes a kind of avant-garde film-noir soundtrack. And High Noon is a cool, moody version of an early cut by those Viennese rhythm maestros, Kruder and Dorfmeister. A regular collaborator with Christian, Peter Kruder was involved in mixing both Drumlesson albums.
French music is also well represented, with a lush chamber-jazz reinvention of Laurent Garnier's club classic Acid Eiffel and an alluring deconstruction of Jean-Michel Jarre's immortal electro anthem, Oxygène Part IV. "The Jean-Michel Jarre track is not a club classic but it's an electronic classic," Christian explains. "It's still very popular as it helped to make electronic music a household name so I tried to keep the well-known melody, but also do more of an avant-garde arrangement around it, like a Tortoise tune."
Bringing the album full circle, Drumlesson Zwei ends with Sandcastles, a sublime instrumental soundscape based on the club smash by Dennis Ferrer and Jerome Sydenham. Jazz meets house, electronic meets organic, Drumlesson Zwei is a testament to music's limitless potential for inspiration and reinvention.
Drumlesson Zwei is not about narrow labels, fads or genres. Great music lasts forever.

A well worn well read book from my childhood. I love the dusty sandy colours. I remember reading this book and thinking this is what my mother's childhood must have like in South Africa, walking through the felt, spotted exotic animals on her way to school.
How many animals can you spot at the greengrocer's stall?
Do join in if you have a book you would like to share. One you are reading to your kids, one you loved from your own childhood or even one you have picked up for the beautiful illustrations like Laura did last week.
I was so chuffed to see so many of you join in the first week I opened this little linky. It was such a treat to have a little peek into the stories that have touched your heart, the illustrations you admire and the memories you are creating!

Charles Horace Mayo
Charles Horace Mayo
|May 26, 1939 (aged 73)
|Alma mater
|Northwestern University
|Known for
|Founding of the Mayo Clinic
|Scientific career
|Medicine, surgery
Charles Horace Mayo (July 19, 1865 – May 26, 1939) was an American medical practitioner and was one of the founders of the Mayo Clinic along with his brother, William James Mayo, Augustus Stinchfield, Christopher Graham, E. Star Judd, Henry Stanley Plummer, Melvin Millet, and Donald Balfour.
Charles graduated from the medical school of Northwestern University in 1888 and joined his father, William Worrall Mayo, and older brother, William James Mayo, in their private medical practice in Rochester, Minnesota.
The Mayos' first partner was Augustus Stinchfield, who was hired by William Worrall Mayo. Once in place as a partner in the private practice, W. W. Mayo retired at age 73. The private practice became the not-for-profit Mayo Clinic in 1919. At that point, the remaining partners went on salary, and the Mayo Properties Association was established. The world's first "integrated group practice" was established by the seven partners and staff.
The Mayo Clinic came to be regarded as one of the foremost medical treatment and research institutions in the world. Within Mayo's lifetime it registered one million patients.
The idea of medical specialization was developed by this group of medical pioneers. A close and enduring relationship between the Mayo Clinic and the University of Minnesota Medical School developed. C. H. Mayo specialized in surgery of the thyroid and nervous system.
He was also responsible for the clinic's ophthalmic patients until 1908. He and early partners insisted on sterile conditions in the operating room, and that was one of many factors which contributed to the medical practice's early surgical successes.
Mayo retired in 1930 and died of pneumonia in 1939 in Chicago, Illinois. His two sons Charles William Mayo and Joseph Graham Mayo both worked at the clinic. Joseph Graham Mayo was killed in November 1936 in an accident when a train hit his car killing him and his hunting dog, Floosie. Mayo and his dog were buried in the same casket.[1] A grandson, Charles Horace Mayo II, served a residency at the clinic. The United States Postal Service released a stamp on September 11, 1964, depicting Charles Horace Mayo and his brother.

Fully Charged Visits The Clean Energy City of the Future
Brian has already explored the concept of Masdar—a $2bn "clean energy city" that is being built in Abu Dhabi. And while some have worried about it becoming a "high-end ghetto" or gated community, it's nevertheless an ambitious and innovative project.
Robert Llewellyn—whose Fully Charged online video show has broadened its focus from futuristic electric cars to all aspects of our clean energy future—journeyed out to the fledgling city to find out what it is all about.
From the 10MW solar power plant (and plans for a larger, 100MW version) to the passive-cooling architectural techniques that learn from traditional Arabic architecture, there's lots of juicy eye candy here for sustainability geeks. And as the whole project is tied to a research center, there should be plenty of lessons for other cities in the region and beyond.
Stay tuned for a follow up, as the season finale of Fully Charged promises to explore this "City of the Future" in more detail.

Metal Buildings Offer Durability, Customization
A metal building is many things: Strong, durable, functional, and more. It also can be aesthetically pleasing to the eye, if you find the right one. If you are looking for this type of building, then the best plan is to consult with a specialist in the field who can help you determine your needs.
Metal buildings are used in a variety of settings and applications, including as aircraft hangars, barns, churches, garages, riding arenas and recreational vehicle (RV) storage areas. They also are suitable as customized workshops, sheds and functional office spaces.
A metal building often is stronger and more durable than one made from other materials such as wood. Many pre-made and customized buildings of this kind come with rust-resistant parts and cable bracing, which adds to their strength. These structures also are available in more than simple, standard designs. There are many unique options from which to choose.
This type of building also tends to be less expensive than its wood counterparts. This is especially important if you are trying to cut costs but maintain durability and integrity with your building. It also requires less maintenance, which will keep your costs down through the years.
Having a metal building custom designed to suit your specific needs is a great way to offer the most flexibility and efficiency for your money. There are many national and local companies that can create a unique metal building for you using your exact specifications. These companies also are known for the high value that they place on customer service.
Steel is used most often when it comes to creating a metal building. It is resistant to rust and pests like termites and carpenter bees, and it does not wear down when exposed to the sun. These buildings also are fireproof, making them an excellent option in several environments. You also can purchase a pre-fabricated metal building if your needs are more generic in nature. For instance, if you are looking for a standard shed, then one can be made quickly and delivered directly to you.
To find a metal building manufacturer or supplier, first ask around to see if anyone you know has used a specific company in the past. Then check online to see the various services offered by these companies, and take an in-depth look at some of their standard and customized creations. You want to make sure that you are getting the most bang for your buck.
Virginia Beach Carpet Cleaners Understand How To Get The Toughest Stains Out
Virginia beach carpet cleaners know what it is like to have to deal with a filthy home or business, and how complicated it can be sometimes to remove the dirt and stains that can entrench themselves into rugs. Although there are alternatives to professionals such as Virginia Beach carpet cleaners, basic cleaning methods and over the counter products rarely do the trick for difficult to clean stains, and will often result in you just tiring yourself out and wasting energy. At the same time, many of the do-it-yourself cleaning solutions turn out to be more expensive or difficult than you may be comfortable with, seemingly leaving you with no viable solution for keeping your workplace or living space clean. However, Virginia Beach carpet cleaners are able to meet these needs and provide both companies and residential areas with an affordable, easy way to keep them as clean as possible.
Virginia Beach carpet cleaners have been in operation for quite some time, and their time in the industry has allowed them to learn about the many different specifics of the industry so that they can provide the best services possible to those willing to invest their money into their business. While many other carpet cleaning businesses are only concerned about making a profit and spending as little as possible to do so, Virginia beach carpet cleaners continue to be known by customers around the area for doing what they can to satisfy customers even if it takes additional time or work. With the equipment and knowledge used by Virginia Beach carpet cleaners, however, even the toughest stains are easily removed.
The dedication and energy that Virginia Beach carpet cleaners put into keeping up with the latest technology and practices ensures that their customers are always able to enjoy the most effective means of cleanliness, regardless of how impossible a stain may seem. This is great news for those that have accepted the fate of their carpets as inevitable and have simply settled on purchasing an entirely new carpet instead of cleaning the one they have. If you have dealt with carpeting before, you know just how expensive this flooring material can be, especially if you have a wide area to cover. Even if you just have a small area to be responsible for, Virginia Beach carpet cleaners can help you to avoid costly replacements and to continue enjoying the carpet you have grown fond of regardless of how stained it may be or how much traffic you may experience on a daily basis.

For personal customization and value the Uniquely You form is a great choice.
|$215.00 at Sew True
At $215 I think its a great value, as you can have a working form within a day if you use the supplied cover.
It provides you with all of the important criteria
1. easy customization
2. proper seaming
3. a firm pinnable surface
4. A stand - although this is its weakest element.
This form is made from a poly urethane foam which compresses to fit your sloper/cover
|From Diary of a Renaissance Seamstress
I prefer to make my own cover rather then using the one they supply primarily because of the large neck and arm hole openings. Dairy of a Renaissance Seamstress has a cover tutorial here
Be sure that when doing your fitting you elimate all ease and wrinkles. Double check your measurements with the forms after covering as the cover can stretch out due to the inside pressure. Try some garments on it that you know fit you well to check the balance as well.
I do recommend a center front seam on your cover. If you do this you will not require the string which is meant to help maintain definition between your breasts. Additionally I have seen many examples of people taking knifes to their forms...but have never found this necessary. The cover is extremely difficult to get on and requires two people...one to compress the foam in sections..while the other struggles with getting it into position. Its a little like a game of twister, but it can be done. Once the form has been under compression for a while it becomes much easier to do.
They are available as a dress form or they also have a pant form for $15700.
If you want to treat yourself though I can highly recommend purchasing both and morphing them into this...
|morphed form $375.00
I cut the skirt portion off slightly above the waistline so that the pant form would provide the center front to waist measurement I required. The above form was originally used for The Wonder Woman Replica Project. Now that it is no longer needed for that...the pattern work being completed I was able to adapt it for my shape.
Rather shocking I realize to see her like this but it does show how the pipe fitting is placed within the foam.
This is the Lynda Carter body double. It did require adding bust pads from my Fabulous fit form to achieve her fuller bust. As you can see she had a narrow torso.
The pattern I drafted for this dressform was initially taken from my Fabulous Fit form and then graded down to fit.
If you opt for the standard dress form look for a princess seamed dress pattern using a woven fabric with preferably a jewel neckline for your custom sloper.
I realize this is rather difficult to see in the black, but this is my body using the same form as the Wonder Woman Project. As mentioned previously I would prefer using a red edged linen to make the cover as it is strong, densely woven and has a slick finish to it, which makes it much easier to dress and undress.
The arm is made using a sleeve sloper fitted to you. By placing a circle of fabric at both the wrist and arm hole opening you can then stuff it firmly. The triangle of fabric at the shoulder is basically a shoulder pad shape which allows you to pin it securely to your form. This removable arm makes dressing your form much easier.
Fashion Patterns by Connie has a pattern for a arm you can purchase here for this little project.
