"The first rule of book club is that, well, it's not all about the books. Usually, it's about the wine, too".
With these words I recently encouraged a pal to join the book club that I've been a member of for three years. And it wasn't a desperate ploy to boost numbers depleted by the unbearable pressure of having to plough through some dry tome every month.
On the contrary. You see, in book club we discuss everything from Shakespeare to Fifty Shades; Dickens to Jilly Cooper – plus a whole load of other topics we don't necessarily have the chance to open up about in our regular circle of friends. None of us knew each other beforehand and we only see each other at these monthly gatherings. So far, so fresh.
Recent conversations have covered infidelity (Charles Dickens), paedophilia (thanks Lolita) and lesbianism (Daphne du Maurier, Sarah Waters) – all over a cheeseboard or two.
It's a safe place and a true meeting of minds.
Which is why I was mildly irritated to read that Mark Zuckerberg wants to launch a social media book club.
The Facebook founder is now notorious for setting himself an annual challenge – previous examples being to learn Mandarin, wear a tie to work and write a thank-you note every day. Not the most inspiring tasks imaginable, but at least we could smile, nod and let him knuckle down quietly.
Until now. Zuckerberg's aim for 2015 is to read a book every fortnight – and he wants us to join in. There's even a new 'Year of Books' Facebook page dedicated to the discussion of literature. Some 185,000 people have already joined and it's being called 'the world's biggest book club'.
Woah there. While I welcome anything that encourages people to read – who wouldn't? – a 'book club' is an entirely different animal to any online forum.
Yes, the traditional book club might need a thoroughly modern makeover. But this isn't the way to go about it.
I can understand why it might seem attractive, of course. Book clubs have long had a bad rep. Many alumni talk of unbearably smug members who can't resist the opportunity to show-off, stinginess over stretching the club kitty to a second bottle of wine and, of course, the gnawing guilt over not having quite finished Ulysses.
That they're also a largely female preserve is somehow seen as a negative thing, too.
Well, I simply can't understand it. Here are a few tips to being in a book club and making it work (with apologies to my fellow members – we couldn't keep the secret of our success quiet forever)...
The secrets to a successful book club:
1) Don't 'chip in'
It's far better to take turns hosting your book club in a different member's house each month. That way, the host shoulders the responsibility for providing food and drink. And, as everyone takes their turn, the costs are spread across the group.
2) Don't force it
The key to book club success is not having a book. Yes, really. Instead instigate a 'travelling library'. This is a bag (for life, or two) of books that everyone can pick from. We each choose two or three each, per month - to account for our varying moods – and then simply review what we've read at the next meeting. Inevitably, everyone ends up having read the same thing, at which point a lengthier discussion can take place.
Equally, hearing reviews of books you haven't read, encourages you to step outside your literary comfort zone. The person hosting next has responsibility for transporting the books, the host introduces a few new books each month and we do regular culls. It's all very democratic.
3) Don't force it, part two
If you've had a busy month and haven't had time to read: that's ok. Book club should be an enjoyable experience and you shouldn't be excluded just because of a business trip, or hectic social life. We've had members who've reviewed TV documentaries, or regaled us with hilarious stories about work mishaps in lieu of having turned any actual pages. The aim is to make friends, remember?
4) Be open to new members
No, you don't need to hold an election or put potential new members through a vetting process. If a book club pal has recommended them? That should be enough.
We've found that existing members only recommend those they know will be keen - and we've only lost people to foreign countries, or babies. Those who stay are those who are prepared to put time into new people; not just new paperbacks.
5) Don't live somewhere Google maps doesn't recognise
One, former, member moved to a new flat on the banks of the Thames. Unfortunately, my GPS thought it was in the middle of the river. Cue 30 minutes spent walking around dark back streets, in the middle of winter, with no phone reception.
Yet, the welcome I received on finally finding the place was much warmer and friendlier than any online forum could hope to offer - even with the collective 'likes' of 185,000 Facebook users.


text: Every 12-15 months we have the joy of being able to worship with our Bishop. Confirmations, people being Received into the Episcopal church, and baptisms usually take place on those occasions. This year, our bishop, the Rt. Rev. Scott Benhase made his annual visitation on Sunday afternoon, May 7. St. Luke's was pleased to celebrate with 6 people being Confirmed or Received. Following worship we shared a cookout dinner and filled our parish hall with laughter, excitement, and new life. Can't ask for anything better during Easter Season!

He wanted to hold the last word, so he grabbed her legs, spread them wide and fucked her young cunt as hard as he possibly could. This lovely cumslut gets on top and rides his cum drenched member in reverse cowgirl position, ready to receive more and more cum loads and creampies from her stud. As she was doing that, her body was becoming very hot and each one of her curves made me really horny. The guys reached orgasm very fast and spread their cum all over those three sexy and slutty faces. She gets on her knees, pulls down his pants and admires his big throbbing erection. I fucked that little pussy with that cum dripping from her pussy all over the bed.
He felt that her pussy was on fire and very close to an orgasm.
Little pics!
And Bryana Small breasted brunette Totally naked, she started showing me some of her nude yoga poses and stances, flexing her hot body and making my cock throb under my pants. The girl wanted to tease him with her sexy little tits, so she turned around and rode his cock in a position where her tits were facing him. After I came inside her one more time, her pussy was completely full and the cum was all over the place. The hot teen even went so far as asking us if I would like a demonstration, pulling her top down and showing me her gorgeous breasts. And Bikini Teen girl uses a soda She was screaming for him to fuck her cunt, fuck her hard!

I'm originally from Kansas. Taught in NW Kansas for 20 years!
I'm frustrated. I teach 1/2 day Kinder. (2 sessions per day) I feel I have to teach them so much in the 1 1/2 hours that I have them per day, there's no time for fun. Phonics sheets and teaching them to read, teaching them to write letters, words, sentences, pick out the subject, verb, object in simple sentences, specific programs for math...I don't even have time to fit in what the Kinder curriculum requires at this school let alone fun time to make snowmen or play. Any suggestions that you have found that work? I've taught 28 years this is the hardest job by far. No paras to help and no PM volunteers.
Thank you!

Clean Water Empowers Education in Tambarare, Tanzania
Clean Water Empowers Education in Tambarare, Tanzania
In the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro in the Hai District of northeastern Tanzania, the children of Tambarare village wake each morning with nowhere to go to school. For a time, many attempted to walk the almost nine-mile round trip to the nearest secondary school in Boma Town. But one-by-one, they've stopped attending.
In this community of 3,000 people and more than 20,000 livestock, there is no permanent source of clean, safe water. So rather than walk to school, many of these children walk long distances each day to fetch water instead. The effect of this situation on their education, their individual futures, and the greater economy is difficult to fathom.
The government has intervened and, with the help of village leadership, is currently constructing a new school that will serve up to 200 students. But without a source of clean water, the school cannot be completed, much less expanded to serve the full student population.
That's why Fight for the Forgotten is so excited to partner with the Chris Long Foundation (Waterboys) and WorldServe to complete a deep, solar-powered water well to serve not just the school, but the entire community. The high-capacity pumping system will draw from a large underground aquifer and will include a large tank, similar to a small water tower, to accommodate storage and adequate water pressure for the community's needs.
Site surveys and community mobilization efforts are currently underway, the large tank is onsite, and thanks to our amazing supporters and in-country partners, the water crisis in Tambarare will soon be over – forever.

It is the New Year and a sample of the challenges gun owners will face has already reared its ugly head. The problem is SB337, a bill Governor Rauner has said he would veto but he may not get the chance. SB337 could survive the 100th General Assembly even though it is not supposed to. The reason for this is a flaw in the Illinois Constitution. The term used is sine die which means all legislation will die upon adjournment of the General Assembly. That is normally how it works. The Illinois Constitution provides the new Governor will be sworn in on the 2nd Monday of January and the General Assembly will be sworn in on the 2nd Wednesday of January. The problem is that this New Year's fell on Tuesday which means the General Assembly will be sworn in first. Normally, that is not a big deal but this year it is.
The New Year is almost here and the ISRA is preparing for 2019. I am sure I don't need to remind you that 2019 is going to be a challenging year, to say the least. If some of your friends need reminding, let them know right away and recruit them into the fight.
The end of the year is fast approaching but there is still time to make a tax-deductible donation to the Illinois Rifle Association's Legal Assistance Committee.
There is no question that unbridled illegal immigration is a threat to our Second Amendment Rights, as well as many other facets of the United States we know and love. The left, of course, doesn't see it that way and is on a constant quest to tear the United States apart. Flooding the country with illegal immigrants is a sure way to do that. The left-wing news media, left-wing organizations and left-wing politicians place constant attacks on the idea of The Wall, while saying there are other ways of securing the border. Those other ways include such things as drones, more personnel, warning systems and on and on. So, if they are willing to fund those things, why not The Wall?
now all ISRA members should have received their annual membership drive packet. It is very important that every ISRA member
try to recruit one or more new members. Last
weekend, I attended the Pekin Gun Show. One
of the excuses people use to not join the ISRA is that they are not interested
in politics.
It's time to start thinking about Christmas gifts for shooters. Of course, the top item would be an ISRA membership for everyone you know. If they are already an ISRA member, that's okay, you can just extend their membership or better yet, upgrade it to a higher level. Watch your mail for a special offer coming your way soon.

Manufacturer: Lockheed
Model: unknown
Name: Aldebaran
Type: Transport
Status: Demonstrator
Country: United States
Service: Commercial
Designation: none
Here is the Lockheed Aldebaran airliner of 1942. Don't go looking for it in your aviation books, you won't find it! Basically, I used a wartime photo of the Lockheed C-69, the military variant of the Constellation, as a starting point (see below right) — although nothing remains of the original aircraft except for two of the four engines and the wheel carriages!.
There's more to just removing two engines here...
The name Aldebaran is that of a constellation, keeping it in line with Lockheed's age-old practice of naming their aircraft after stars. The various elements from the montage (titles, captions, texts) were all snatched from various Lockheed ads of the same period. The layout itself was directly adapted from one of these ads.
Finally, I had to add some clouds from another picture to render the flawless sky of the original picture less dull...
My impression on doing this montage was that the Aldebaran would have been sort of a Lockheed L-188 Electra but 10 years ahead. My main regret here is to have left the undercarriages as they were. Quite obviously there are now too big and sturdy for this smaller aircraft and the mainframe is not a little too high above the ground I think.

Every once in a while a word gets hijacked.
You say it. I say it. And not because we enjoy being cooperative. While it may be received as a variation of "yes", what we really mean is a bit more snarky/dickish.
There are degrees of sincerity often attached to this overused expression.
Scenario A
A neighbor takes you up on your offer to (fill-in-the-blank). You can't really say no … you did offer to help. Granted, you were on your fifth beer.
Your initial thought: Oh yeah … I did offer to help. I'm such a moron. What you audibly say: "Sure!"
Scenario B
A client emails you and asks for something that's way beyond the scope of the project. To top it off, she calls you "buddy". You can't afford to piss her off but it burns your ass she's taking advantage of the situation.
What you're thinking: There goes my weekend. What you text after a 60-second death stare at blinking cursor: "Sure."
This four-letter word has become a last ditch effort to downplay our just how put out we are, whether we're right or wrong for thinking so.
If you think I'm off here, just wait until the next time you get a "Sure!" or a "Sure." And when you feel this smooth yet snarky word about to slip out, go with a sincere reply instead. Something like:
"Absolutely. I'm happy to help."
Or, "You bet. I may need to move my schedule around but I think can do it."
Whatever you decide, be kind. The business world in is short supply of this precious commodity, and honestly, what do you have to lose? By being kind and direct, people are more likely to see you as someone they can count on and are less likely to steamroll in the future.
Am I right? Sure I am.

Intro Where Facebook Started
When you are starting a project, no matter what Type, there are always risks that will definitely appear and it is perfectly normal to feel fearful about them after all, you don't wish to make mistakes and eliminate money, time and effort with something that's probably just a scam. Like with most kinds of goods, it's something that sometimes happens with digital advertising and marketing products also, so we're here to assist you with it. If you are attempting to grow as an electronic marketer, it is very likely you are aware of Digital Genius Lab (DGL), a company intended to assist you realize your potential in the specialty. However, this is a stage that some people suspect to be scammy, but others deem it reliable. So here we are going to provide a review of Digital Genius Lab and provide all the details you ought to know to help you with your choice. Are you prepared? Let's go. Where Facebook Started
Is Digital Genius Lab a Deception?
This is one of the most important things to talk about When it comes to Digital Genius Lab and it's the subject you are probably going to locate information about on google regarding this organization. According to a number of reviews about the organization, they appear to link to an alleged scam known as Team Phoenix Marketing, which appears to be created by the very same people that made Digital Genius Lab. But really, DGL was shaped after the conclusion of Team Phoenix Marketing, making things a little bit more suspicious. It's also considered by several people that tried to utilize both organizations the emails they received were almost identical in style and in content. This lends strength to the concept that Team Phoenix and DGL are one in the same. But at the close of the day, this could have been a very simple and benign business name change. They happen all of the time, after all. There are lots of reviews on google on how Digital Genius Lab works and they vary in favorability. Some may just be competitors attempting to get a upper hand by bending the truth, and others may be honest, or at the very least, intended to be honest. However, some reviews might be skewed by bias and with a person's inability to follow along with this program. It's difficult to say.
Here are some issues their introductory webinar will go over:
· DGL is focused on helping you reach your dreams and living a much better lifestyle.
· The founder of DGL, Sean Malone, shares his previous struggles in digital marketing.
· Explains the power of Facebook Marketing and how you can use it to grow your company
· Some of their gains are going to charity.
· 90 percent Done-for-you promoting system.
· The supportive online community of entrepreneurs part of DGL
· $99 a month for DGL's training.
Whether or not you believe DGL is for you personally, it is Interesting to watch the webinar, so I'd recommend doing that at the very least, to learn more.
In contrast to the negative and skeptical Reviews, there are also positive testimonies. There are lots of users who discovered Digital Genius Lab's approaches to be rather helpful. DGL offers two training modules which are exactly what some users need in order to progress as electronic marketers. Some of the testimonies said This business provided:
· A far better knowledge of how affiliate marketing works.
· Different tactics, strategies and skills which you can use to be effective in your enterprise.
· Enlightenment about how you can advance to make enough money by yourself without needing a traditional 9-5 job.
· Assistance and support from their group of specialists in cases of emergency or scenarios of a similar ilk.
Total, DGL is a clear example of a company That would leave anyone to ponder whether it's right for them: Many people today think that they are a scammy company and other men and women believe they are an exceedingly helpful organization.
What Are you going to learn as subscriber?
The premise of Digital Genius Lab is to provide Support to those individuals who are looking to make a livelihood in the realm of digital advertising, particularly when it comes to functioning in affiliate marketing. So this organization Provides some of the following services for you inside their training:
· General knowledge about how affiliate marketing works – Prior to going on concerning the more sophisticated elements of affiliate marketing, Digital Genius Lab concentrates on explaining the fundamental components of it so you can have a better grasp of affiliate marketing.
· Step by step guidance – Some of the hardest things to do if you're beginning in any professional area is to not make mistakes and to understand the fundamentals so that you may do well. DGL highlights that they will offer guidance and support to clear any doubts you may have, as well as provide knowledge for one to succeed.
· Several modules – This is another important factor to take into consideration when discussing Digital Genius Lab: they supply nine different modules that cover each of the components they believe important with respect to affiliate marketing along with the digital marketing world as a whole. Each subsequent module raises the difficulty of this content and it's made in a way which you can comprehend everything coherently.
What Does Digital Genius Lab Stand For?
Overall, what Digital Genius Lab Is Attempting to Advertise Is a particular lifestyle: A lifestyle that kisses the 9-5 goodbye and implores Digital Geniuses (associates of DGL) to live life to the fullest and on their own terms. Sean Malone's objective is to provide enough knowledge to his trainees so they could thrive in the world of affiliate marketing, and so they could live the life they've always desired. Today we see a lot more people interested in the world of digital advertising and they want to earn a dwelling in a less traditional fashion; jobs from nine am to five pm are becoming less and less common these days and functioning on the world wide web is becoming much simpler and substantial for people, therefore there's definitely an audience there, and that's something worth taking into consideration.
Digital Genius Lab has a very solid premise and it is Very easy to comprehend why there are so many people interested in what they Have to provide: everyone which has a certain degree of curiosity about studying About affiliate marketing would want to operate with an organization that's so Adamant that their methods and system will provide a fantastic income In a comparatively short-term manner. Having said that, this really is an organization Whose track record is definitely not the best out of all reports and that is Something you should always take into account when making your Decision: we're talking about a controversial organization that's done Wonders for many people, rather than so much for many others. Although it's Difficult to say If the neigh sayers are just people which weren't determined enough to apply DGL methods persistently and just gave up too early. When it comes to DGL's Proposal, it is a really interesting project and it is often quite valuable for those That are beginning as professionals in the business of affiliate marketing, but It is also not reliable by all inspections and testimonies, so that is something Certainly worth paying attention .

For more than 50 years, the Jondahl family raised horses, sheep and chickens, grew corn, beans and berries on their farm in Minnetonka — all the while watching as Hwy. 394 and office complexes like the Carlson Towers sprang up around them.
Today the land is being readied for a crop of houses and condos.
The Jondahl farm, the last in the city, was sold this summer to a homebuilder who had eyed the plot for almost 20 years. It will be Minnetonka's largest subdivision with single-family homes since the 1990s, according to Julie Wischnack, community development director.
"It was bittersweet," said Ken Jondahl, son of Don and Leona Jondahl. Leona had lived there alone after Don died in 1999. When she died in 2007, Ken said he and his siblings decided it wasn't a matter of if, but when, to sell.
The 24-acre farm was one of a dwindling number, not on the fringes, but closer inside the metro area — holes in the blanket of urban sprawl. Others that still exist include a sheep farm that's a 10-minute walk from the Mall of America and an Eagan corn and soybean farm that has had Lockheed Martin as a neighbor.
The postrecession building boom has ignited housing developers' interest in farmsteads like the one in Minnetonka. More than 16,000 housing permits have been issued in the metro area since the end of 2010, according to the Builders Association of the Twin Cities.
Earlier this year, a 40-acre farm bracketed by houses on a busy stretch in Plymouth passed to a large, national builder. In 2012 the last farm in an area of Brooklyn Park where family farmers had owned their land for more than 100 years went to a builder with plans for 88 homes.
Meanwhile, at the Woodbury family farm of Betty and Wayne Schilling on Saturday, tractors, cultivators, big round hay bales, grain bins and farm buildings were sold off under the singsong drone of an auctioneer. The Schillings, whose family has been there for five generations, began farming more than 40 years ago and are the last of those farming pioneers from the mid-1850s.
The land around the last 130 acres of the farm has now been opened up for development and 6,000 homes are expected to be built in the next decade. Their land is near an "urban village" that will include a grocery store, senior housing and other developments.
The demand for new homes has driven up land prices, which tanked during the downturn. Even with tax breaks for agricultural land through Minnesota's Green Acres program, the opportunity for many farmland owners has become hard to resist, according to John Adams, a professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota's Department of Geography, Environment and Society.
"When it becomes more profitable to grow houses than grow corn, people grow houses," Adams said.
It also can bolster the tax rolls of cities, counties and other public entities. The Jondahl farm sold for about $6 million and had a taxable value of less than $350,000 because of its agricultural classification. Wischnack estimates that the taxable value will top $50 million after the subdivision is built.
By 2030, agricultural land is expected to still account for a quarter of the seven-county area's total acreage, but the vast majority will be on the outskirts, according to the Metropolitan Council. Farmland is projected to be less than 5 percent of the total acreage in Hennepin County, only 3 percent in Anoka County and less than 1 percent in Ramsey County.
"Some people just aren't ready to sell, but if a developer comes along they have a hard decision to make," said Tom Evenson of Gonyea Land Co. in Woodbury. "Does it really make sense to fight growth? People want new places to live, new places to shop, new restaurants."
Emotional attachment is a big reason some are slow to sell, said Barry Stock, city administrator in Savage. A major farm landowner in that largely built-out community has been slowly selling pieces to developers, including one plot this year by City Hall and the town's sports dome. "He has difficulty letting go. His ancestors made their living off it," Stock said.
The Jondahls didn't depend on their farm to live. The family moved there from Minneapolis — where Don worked as an insurance executive — to instill a love of the outdoors in the children, Jondahl said.
Even so, the farm's animals weren't just pets. Jondahl and his siblings slaughtered chickens for family meals. Sheep eventually were sold to what a family friend called "Camp Lamb Chop." Some of what they grew was sold, often to wealthy families who lived around Lake Minnetonka.
Jondahl said the recession delayed plans to sell the farm, but even after the homebuilding market rebounded, it took time for the family and city to agree on development plans.
"The process of finding the right developer took some time. They didn't do this overnight," said Wischnack, who recalled pulling on galoshes to go out to the farm in sloppy weather for family meetings.
Wischnack said the city sought medium density, with a mix of housing types. The Jondahls envisioned single-family homes on large lots to preserve open space and trees.
Edina homebuilder Ron Clark said his firm, one of several interested in the property, came up with 23 site plans before arriving at one that satisfied both the city and the family. The development now calls for small single-family homes, twinhomes, three 20-unit condo buildings and a public park and trail.
Evenson, whose firm is marketing one of two remaining farms in Eagan, said it's not unusual for buyers, sellers and cities to have trouble getting on the same page. In 2001, Eagan denied a land-use change allowing Evenson's listing to be sold for a Target-anchored retail project. At the time, Eagan's long-term plan envisioned the plot as part of corporate campus zone for Lockheed Martin, Unisys and Delta Air Lines.
All three have left or downsized. Last year the city agreed to allow apartments and medical offices on the land after a developer proposed buying it for a mixed-use project. Those plans are pending.
Owners of the Kelley Farm in Bloomington sued the city and Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) in 2010, claiming zoning changes and airport expansion had hurt their ability to sell the land for development. This May, the Minnesota Supreme Court declined to consider their appeal of a ruling dismissing the suit, which had sought to have the city or MAC take the property by eminent domain.
For now, sheep continue to graze on the 60 acres in the shadow of the mall and glitzy new Radisson Blu Hotel. City officials said they have received no development plans. Attorneys for the owners did not respond to interview requests.
Some outer ring suburbs have identified zones to keep as farmland as part of larger efforts to preserve open space. Chaska has a "greenbelt" around the city's edge with farmland. "It gives us an identity when you enter the community, more than just crossing the border from one suburb to another," said Kevin Ringwald, director of planning and development. Lake Elmo's goal is for a mix of uses but still maintaining its rural character.
Jondahl said there were times when family members sometimes wondered if selling the farm was the right thing.
"But it wasn't what it once was. All the traffic noise now — it's kind of like it was just next door," he said.
"In the end we worked together as a family to leave behind a beautiful place, something we could be proud of when we walked away."

Thomas Adès almost broke up the Punch Brothers. "I wanted to be him," Chris Thile, the frontman of that progressive bluegrass band, recently recalled of his first encounter with the surreal music Mr. Adès composed. "I was wondering if I should go back to the drawing board: put everything on hold for five years and figure out a way to do something more like that."
Mr. Thile ultimately kept the band together — and wrote a mandolin concerto to release some bottled-up creativity — but the experience had lasting repercussions.
At 43, Mr. Adès (pronounced ADD-iss) is youthful by classical music's standards, though it has been more than two decades since he was first hailed as Britain's compositional messiah. And despite his young age, he commands a devoted if unexplored following among even younger American composers, as they disclosed in recent interviews. "He's unlocked some sort of secretive, complicated rhythm, wherein your body is moved even if your mind is titillated," Mr. Thile said.
That has deeply informed the Punch Brothers' sound, including that on the band's newest album, "The Phosphorescent Blues." "The boys and I have listened to a ton of Adès," Mr. Thile added. "Particularly in the polyrhythmic department — that's absolutely affected what Punch Brothers is up to these days."
The composer Andrew Norman voiced similar enthusiasm for Mr. Adès's oeuvre. "There's something about his music that is particularly, so vividly imagined that people love stealing from it, myself included," he said. On Feb. 22, the Calder Quartet will juxtapose Mr. Norman's "Sabina" and Mr. Adès's "Arcadiana" in a concert sponsored by Carnegie Hall at the Brooklyn Public Library's Central Library.
"Andrew really looks up to and respects Adès," said a violinist for the Calder, Andrew Bulbrook.
That fervor is pervasive among Mr. Thile and Mr. Norman's generation. "Composers are a catty bunch," said the composer Timo Andres. "That Adès is pretty widely adored, at least among my peers, says something."
Minimalism and pop are often cited as the foremost influences on this country's eclectic younger composers. But Mr. Adès, with his strong commitment to both classical tradition and the avant-garde, complicates that narrative. Teasing out his place in American music reveals much about how today's composers absorb influence and forge a dialogue with one another. Mr. Adès's trans-Atlantic reach might hark back to the role Stravinsky once played in reshaping American music. But unlike that of Stravinsky (and his American acolytes), the impact of Mr. Adès has been felt across multiple aesthetics and even genres.
For many musicians, his 1997 composition "Asyla" represents a singular fount of inspiration. A compressed symphonic masterwork, "Asyla" was the culmination of Mr. Adès's omnivorous early style, and its 1999 recording entranced Mr. Norman and his college classmates. "We would just listen to that thing over and over again and discuss it — a lot of us stole quite liberally from it," he said.
Others attested to the persuasive grip of "Asyla." "There was this moment where the third movement of 'Asyla' circulated in the new-music community almost like a hit single," the composer Gabriel Kahane said. That movement, "Ecstasio," masses swirling orchestral forces to summon the druggy techno of a London nightclub. Mr. Kahane cited the irregular rhythms of his pop song "Haircuts & Airports" as indebted to Mr. Adès.
The composer Ted Hearne recalled a fervent debate among friends over the best new orchestral music: "I remember them being like: It's 'Asyla,' Ted! It's 'Asyla!' "
Christopher Cerrone described microscopic details he filched from Mr. Adès for his opera "Invisible Cities," a finalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in Music. "Asyla" acted as a textbook for unconventional but effective instrumental writing, he said: "A huge percussion battery? It's in there. A quarter-tone piano? It's in there. Weird, bass oboe solo? It's in there." When Mr. Adès attended a performance of "Invisible Cities," Mr. Cerrone said, "I walked up to him — there was a scene with almglocken and quarter-tone harp — and I was like, 'I stole this from you.' "
Mr. Adès offers a model for composers "who want to write music which is not necessarily Minimalist and what is not necessarily avant-garde," Mr. Cerrone added.
Mr. Norman echoed that sentiment. "His music is riding a line between a Romantic sensibility and a more modern one," he said, "and that is definitely something that I do." That tension is palpable in Mr. Norman's "Play," a sprawling work recently recorded by the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, in which dense extended techniques undergird a dizzyingly hyper-Romantic vocabulary — an "Asyla" for the 21st century. Caroline Shaw, whose polyglot "Partita" won the Pulitzer in 2013, drew parallels between Mr. Norman's music and that of Mr. Adès. "It feels organized and detailed and precisely engineered, and imaginative, with funny and profound surprises," she said.
Ms. Shaw was particularly inspired by Mr. Adès's attraction to the modest harpsichord works of Couperin, which he has recomposed for orchestra. "Being the giant of modern music that he is," she explained, it "gave me permission to love some of the music that I love and to do some of the things that I do."
Mr. Andres likened Mr. Adès's aesthetic to that of Gyorgy Ligeti: "There's the sense of the overarching," he said. "Over all the obsessive detail — and the cool flashy orchestrations and all that stuff — is the sense of this huge object being mobilized in time."
Mr. Andres's 2012 Piano Quintet mirrors Mr. Adès's own Quintet, refracting Schumann into exquisite miniatures. A culinary enthusiast, Mr. Andres compared his own assimilation of influences to a sieve: "When it first comes in, there are big granules sticking out, and you can really tell what the thing is. And then over time, it filters into the lower substrate of my language and it's still there — just as much — you just can't hear it on the surface. It's not in big, identifiable clumps."
Sharing this syntax bonds these younger composers, who borrow as much from one another as they do from Mr. Adès. Mr. Cerrone, Mr. Norman, Mr. Hearne and Mr. Andres belong to the collective Sleeping Giant, which has created a reimagining of the Mozart Requiem that will have its premiere with the Albany Symphony in March.
"I'm influenced by music by my peers all the time; I try to steal from it as much as possible," Mr. Cerrone said. That interchange is manifest in Mr. Hearne's "Law of Mosaics," a virtuosic pastiche recorded by the string orchestra A Far Cry. "Law of Mosaics" chops up and furiously reassembles pre-existing music by Mr. Norman as well as Barber, Vivaldi and Mr. Adès.
"It's not hearing Adès," Mr. Hearne said. "But it might be hearing Beethoven, or it might be hearing the bygone world of classical music."
For Mr. Kahane, "the history of all art can also be expressed as a conversation between members of a community who are all stealing from each other."
"What's so beautiful about 'Law of Mosaics,' he said, "is that it really just makes that conversation — which I think has always been part of how we've evolved artistically — front and center."
Though Mr. Adès and his enthusiasts move in the small, interconnected sphere of contemporary music, the Americans described only a handful of encounters with him. "God, I'd be like a little groupie: 'Mr. Adès, Mr. Adès!' I would love to meet him," Mr. Thile said. "If Mr. Adès ever wants to write anything for the mandolin, I am all ears and fingers."
To these composers, Mr. Adès is neither mentor nor friend; the crux of the rapport is not personal but musical. (It is bolstered by a minor black market of scores and samizdat live recordings traded by email.)
"It's completely news to me," Mr. Adès said with a laugh when asked about his influence. In March, he is to conduct the New York Philharmonic in the American premiere of his work "Totentanz." Based on a grim 15th-century frieze, "Totentanz" is far from the uproarious polystylism of "Asyla," though it shares its balance of the lyrical and the unsettling.
Mr. Adès spends much of his time in Los Angeles and expressed admiration for the vibrancy of American new music. But he hesitated at the idea that he represented a paragon. "The idea of having 'followers' is quite funny for me, because I'm a great non-follower in a way," he said. Having emerged as a cage-rattling enfant terrible, he has a very different approach to musical influence. To truly imitate his path would mean rejecting his music.
"I want to be shocked; I want to be outraged," he said. "If I felt, 'Oh, yeah, I'm familiar with this,' I would think, actually in that case — perhaps this isn't anything to do with me at all."
For an iconoclast who once actively courted controversy, Mr. Adès was flummoxed by a communally focused generation that so readily embraced his music: "I'm obviously rather stunned by the whole idea."

Artists, if they are fortunate, eventually find their own niche. For myself that is designing and printing my artwork on tile. For me it is the perfect blending of my love of home décor and my enthusiasm of watching a painting develop into an image as a backsplash, mural or coaster. I hope that you enjoy making this décor a part of your home as much as I enjoy designing them.
Amy Estes is a pastel artist she lives in Plymouth Massachusetts.

The month of May, with its two Bank Holiday Mondays breaking up the routine of term time contract work, is not especially welcome, when it rolls around midway between Easter and the overly long school summer holidays.
However, this bank holiday coincided with payday and with a significant end of season football match being screened in the pubs.
These two events made all the difference to what would otherwise have been just another mediocre weekend in a small provincial Oxfordshire town, with a declining nighttime economy.
In the old days, prior to Easter 2012, there was a renowned nightclub in the town centre, which operated Thursday to Sunday until 3am in the morning.
After that a couple of hundred people would be disgorged onto the streets, most of whom needed transport home.
That is all gone now and those who do work weekend nights stay out for a longer period of time, in order to earn less money, with the increased level of risk that brings.
On Friday night, the open window of my taxi was approached by a young man known to me, from nine years' taxi driving in and around Abingdon, though he did not show any signs of recognising me.
He asked for a destination £4.60 away, the minimum fare for distances up to one mile.
As we journeyed along a road in the town centre, he asked me to stop adjacent to an alley, from where he was going to retrieve his girlfriend's bag, in order to pay me.
He had stashed it there earlier, after taking it off her during an argument.
It sounds preposterous, because it is.
He never returned to the taxi.
There is nothing like the mendacity of a fellow human who is about to steal from you, trying to justify themselves in advance.
After several low-quality encounters with customers, instinct told me to call it a night.
But the following night was completely different, full of happy customers, like the group collected from Oxford who talked excitedly of their day at Common People festival and spoke of names of classic artists from my childhood, like Boney M.
"Did they do Rivers of Babylon?" I asked, whereupon the passenger in the back struck up a chorus of "Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born in Christmas Day..."
On the journey back to Abingdon to get the next passenger, down the prolifically potholed Hanney Road in the expected storm, the rain came down like something out of the Scottish play.
There was a veritable heavenly show of lightning, while I played Rivers of Babylon at the maximum available volume in my taxi.
'How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?' - a question I ask myself often, as I ply for hire on the highways and byways of southern Oxfordshire.

New Zealanders Marie and David Gray lived and worked in Java during the turbulent 1960s and here, shortly before the Bali bombing, they return to their old haunts and visit their many Indonesian friends. They encounter a very different Indonesia from the one they left. This fascinating account of life in Java shows how technology and Middle Eastern influences have changed the face of society for our nearest Asian neighbours, and how the transition from dictatorship to democracy has affected their daily lives.

Why take a magnesium supplement?
Africa Studio/Shutterstock
Magnesium already exists in our bones, muscles, and cells. This mineral can also be found in the earth's crust and seawater. We need between 300 and 400 milligrams of magnesium a day, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. We can get some or all of this from magnesium-rich foods including green leafy vegetables, whole grains, beans and nuts, but many people choose to take supplements to make sure they are getting enough of this essential mineral. Magnesium is actually the seventh most popular dietary supplement among supplement users, according to a recent survey by ConsumerLab.com, and with good reason. "Low levels of magnesium may play a part in hypertension and cardiovascular disease, Type 2 Diabetes, osteoporosis, and migraines," says Stephanie Schiff, RDN at Northwell Health's Huntington Hospital in Huntington, NY. Are you getting enough? These 10 signs will let you know if you have a magnesium deficiency.
What type of magnesium supplement should you take?
Dragon Images/Shutterstock
There is more than one type of magnesium supplement out there, and choosing the right one can make a big difference. "Forms such as magnesium citrate and magnesium chloride may be better absorbed and tolerated than magnesium oxide," says Tod Cooperman, MD, president of ConsumerLab.com in White Plains, New York. Magnesium aspartate and magnesium lactate are also easily absorbed by the body, Schiff adds. Other magnesium supplements may double as laxatives or antacids, Another form of magnesium, Epsom salts, may be absorbed through the skin during a bath. (Spoiler alert: Don't expect miracles from an Epsom salt bath.) "Magnesium from foods and supplements is absorbed fairly well, although the magnesium oxide form is absorbed less well than other forms such as magnesium citrate," he says.

Introducing My Second Blog
Meal Plans, Recipes, and Dinner Ideas for Every Night of the Week.
Friends, this is a really great day because I get to announce the launch of my second food blog, A Little and A Lot.
To celebrate, I'm giving away a customized apron, embroidered with the winner's name. More about that in a minute.
First, can I tell you what A Little and A Lot is all about?
A Little and A Lot is about making it easier to cook real food at home more often.
Every recipe is a part of a weekly meal plan that relies on the idea that a little work every day is the key to getting delicious, wholesome, good for you, home cooked meals on the table several nights of the week.
A little = a lot.
Each weekly meal plan contains recipes, prep instructions, and a shopping list that will take you through 5 nights of dinners for a family of 4. Scale up or down based on the size of your family, but I've done all the planning for you.
The Continuous Kitchen.
The meal plans on A Little and A Lot are based on the concept of the continuous kitchen. They are NOT about continuously spending time in the kitchen. Rather, they are about the idea that time spent in the kitchen should be maximized.
It IS possible to get healthy, delicious food on the table at least 5 nights a week without spending your life in the kitchen.
Here's the trick: Instead of thinking about each night's meal as an event unto itself, it's also the foundation for tomorrow night's dinner. Tonight's leftover veggies are added to tomorrow night's soup. Monday's roast chicken becomes Wednesday's chicken tacos. Yesterday's crock pot roast becomes today's hot roast beef sandwiches.
The continuous kitchen is about leveraging your time and your budget to continuously put the best tasting, highest quality food on your table night after night.
Sound good? Then, click on over and check it out. But FIRST…
To Celebrate, I'm Giving Away This Apron to One Reader, Customized with Their Name
Made from heavy weight 100% cotton, this adjustable apron has plenty of coverage and several pockets. Over-the-head and around-the-waist adjustable drawstring • 28" wide X 30" long • Split front pocket
How To Win:
Log in to the little widget below (which will ensure that I can contact you if you win). You will be presented with several entry options. Complete at many options as you like, each option will earn an additional entry.
This giveaway is open until Friday, February 21st, 2018 at 12:00AM MST. The Winner will be chosen randomly. We will email the winner and if the winner doesn't respond in 48 hours, a new winner will be chosen.
