So it seems like Naruto is gonna be end with the defeat of akatsuki. If this is true what do you guys think? will you be sad or what?
So it seems like Naruto is gonna be end with the defeat of akatsuki. If this is true what do you guys think? will you be sad or what?
nah.. i dont think so... akatsuki doesnt seem to be "ending" soon. Plus we know Kabutochimaru is out there and Tobi, although part of Akatsuki seems to have his own agenda. Also, Naruto is no were near worthy of being a Hokage.
Yeah, I think after Akatsuki/Kabuto are gone, the manga is gonna be over.
Even if Kabuto and Akatsuki are defeated in this arc. We are still missing 2 great shinobi nations: The Village Hidden in the Clouds and the Village Hidden in the Rocks and more of the great 7 seven swordsmen of the mist.
Is everyone forgetting about Danzo and "root" ?
not gonna end. the manga is way to popular right now. maybe once everyone loses interest, say in 50 years. lol
Nah, There is so many quality stories kishi can produce, I like what k-oz said, How kishi might setting up another great ninja war and that will be like Naruto part 3 or something. And will invovle other nations and such. Right now all we have been doing is focusing on "Konoho" folks.
Zetta Recommends: Naruto, Claymore, Death note, Elfen Lied, Berserk, Monster, One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach,
Gameboy: "Its better to fight with honor than be silent and shit bricks"
another war would be interesting - a certain someone could gain popularity by doing "heroic " things to protect the village, just like his father.
I think there is going to be another time jump due to a crazy event... or a really big fight that happens to cause the main focus of the storyline to shift.
And I'll assume it's going to happen soon.
Now for my prediction:
This major "arc" (part II... the akatsuki story), will end with 2 fights. Jiraiya vs Pein and Konan... the fateful meet of him and his pupil and Pein (another aquantence... perhaps not his pupil like Konan). They will fight... and sadly, Jiraiya will meet his end. He will put up a AMAZING fight through before he goes down (just like Sarutobi did against Oro).
*** to make this event in the rain village more epic... Tsunade comes and helps him (like she said she would... kinda), and they both die... wow. That would be pretty epic.
As on the other field of battle... Sasuke reaches Itachi and Kisame... and they square off... kinda. Sasuke is about to attack Itachi, but Naruto gets in the way. Sasuke is trying to fight Itachi but Naruto keeps getting in the way to capture, him... and then Suigetsu fights kisame with Jugo (or Jugo is fighting off the Konoha people), while Sasuke and Karin try to fight Itachi. What about Naruto and the others? Well... remember Orochikabuto said he'll come back for Naruto? WELL HE'S CAME BACK! So they fight... fight... fight... and BAM! OROCHI gets Itachi while he is fighting Sasuke. Then Sasuke has no real goal in life... goes crazy, and runs off again... this time to seek power from Tobi.
Orochikabutoitachi is the new focus... and he plans on taking over Konoha. Tobi leaves to train with Sasuke (Tobi joined Akatsuki so he can be in the same organization with Itachi because he know Sasuke would go after him). Pein still wants the last two tailed beasts... and if my lil rant about Tsunade helping Jiraiya happens, Kakashi becomes new Hokage.
K, I'm crazy, but thought I would wanna say something cause I just woke up and came up with this weird theory.
It's really interesting to see (read) what everyone would like to see in the near future from the manga. I personally do not think it'll end soon, as hey_barbie said, the skinny is that the manga is way too popular (profitable) now to end in the short little while.
Even if the Akatsuki are defeated, there are lots of plot issues that have not been dealt with yet:
1) Naruto reaching his goal (and from there, a lot of new stories can happen. Naruto won't die from just being the Hokage)
2) Sasuke hasn't had it out with Itachi yet (i.e., fate of the Uchiha clan, including the involvement of Tobi & the inheritance of Madara's power)
3) Naruto & Sakura's acceptance of Sasuke's defection (They would probably end up having a show down of some kind with him and from that they'll accept that he's no longer the person that only lives in their memories – it'll be kinda like the time when the 3 san-nin fought).
Other major subplots have yet to be explored either:
1) Kakashi's role in Konoha (future Hokage? Next writer for the dirty novels?)
2) Kabuto's revenge and involvement in the whole thing (maybe he'll end with the Akatsuki arc)
3) Root & Danzou's involvement (possibly being a trigger to civil war within Konoha, triggering another great ninja war? or just that he will be the one to protect Konoha when some of the other nations decide to attack Konoha for supremacy)
Anyway, before I get more carried away, my point is that there are lots of things to be dealt with, let alone things that he can come up with. In the past couple of months, we all saw just how fast Masashi Kishimoto-san can add things to expand the story (I bet he never thought about all this historical involvement when he first started with Naruto in the village as an orphan).
Yeah. So, plenty of things for us to look forward to in the future. And to answer your question: Yes, I will be VERY sad if this manga ended soon…

Fighting Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is not only the most common type of heart disease, it's also the leading cause of death worldwide. CAD occurs when the cells lining the arteries are damaged from plaques accumulating on the vessel walls. This buildup of plaques hardens and narrows the arteries (a condition called atherosclerosis), restricting blood flow and increasing the strain on your heart. The end result may be a heart attack.
At Mount Sinai Heart, we're dedicated to fighting coronary artery disease through diagnostic practices that combine medical expertise with the latest imaging technologies. Our globally recognized specialists offer every treatment option.

An email today From Tete a Tete:
We are still welcoming submissions from composers for Jane's Contemporary Clinic on 18th August, where the wonderful Jane Manning will spend an hour sight-reading and discussing experiments in vocal writing with MD James Young.
Details on how to take part at http://www.tete-a-tete.org.uk/janes-contemporary-clinic/ .
C:T talks to Robert Paterson, composer, percussionist and artistic director of the American Modern Ensemble.
Tell us something about your background.
I am a composer and live in New York City. I also conduct and play percussion - mostly marimba, and with six mallets - but I definitely spend most of my life composing. I am also the artistic director of the American Modern Ensemble. I currently don't teach during the year, although I did, for many years, and might again someday, if the right opportunity arises. I make my living as a composer, and via "composer-related activities."
How did you start composing?
I began composing when I was thirteen. I was playing percussion in an ad-hoc percussion quartet at my school in Buffalo, NY, and we didn't have anything to play, so the other percussionists and I decided that I would go home that week and write something. Once my parents figured out what I was up to, they suggested I take composition lessons, so I began studying with William Ortiz, a Puerto Rican composer who was a graduate student at SUNY Buffalo at the time.

Christian Morris talks to Harriet Mackenzie and Philippa Mo, who have just released their debut-disk 'English Violin Duos' on NMC.
Tell us a little about your background before you met each other.
Philippa: I started playing when I was 5. I had lessons and decided early on that I wanted to pursue the violin seriously and so that led me to the Royal Academy. I had a really good time there - I really enjoyed mixing with everybody and I think the best part of it was the chamber relationships that I built up. Probably one of the highlights was the fact that we were encouraged to study abroad for a year, so I spent my third year in China. That was a really wonderful experience. Then I returned to complete a masters course.
But presumably you'd met by the time of the trip to China?
Harriet: Yes, actually I think was slightly after then.
Philippa: We did coincide, but I'm a couple of years older than Harriet, so we started at different times at the Academy. I think on the music degree course everything is much more structured in the first two years, so you're quite entrenched in your year group. It was only when I was a postgrad that I was mixing with students of different year groups. That was probably when we really got to know each other.

C:T talks to New York-based pianist Molly Morkoski
Tell us something about your background.
I'm a pianist living and working in New York City. I moved to NYC on September 01, 2001 and, needless to say, that time was the most important historical moment in this city's history. I have many memories of that time, and all the years since, which give me ample reasons to be here and to stay here making music.
In the months that followed 9/11, however, it was relatively unclear to me whether I should stay and make New York City my home. But, in March of 2002, I became involved in a relatively new series at Carnegie Hall on the "Elliott Carter workshop" directed by Oliver Knussen, and subsequently, several other workshops since. I also became involved on their "Making Music" series and have had the opportunity, as a result, to meet many acclaimed composers, conductors, and performers and have made lasting, life-long bonds with several composer peers. As I worked to create a life in music in NYC during the years following, I continually reached out to many of the musical friends (now living in NYC) that I had met during my academic and festival years. It has never ceased to amaze me how small and generous the musical community is.
Tell us about your life prior to New York City.
I grew up in a small, mountain town in North Carolina. I started piano studies just before I turned 7 years old, and became more serious about my studies around 11 or 12, when I decided that I wanted music to be my life and career. I went to an undergraduate program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and, after successfully completing it, went directly on to a master's degree program at Indiana University in Bloomington. After that, I went to study and earn my doctorate degree with Gilbert Kalish at Stony Brook, NY. I attended many of the more famous American summer festivals such as Aspen, Tanglewood, and Norfolk and a few other more specialized new music festivals along the way, like Bang on a Can's North Adams festival. Towards the end of my doctorate degree, and after working one summer with John Adams and David Robertson and a few of the Ensemble Contemporain members in Aspen, I applied for a Fulbright to apprentice with EIC in Paris and was awarded the grant and the opportunity to go and live abroad. It was a tremendous experience living in St. Germain-des-Près and experiencing the music scene and the life in Paris. After the experience of city living for the first time, I decided to move to New York City, which I did.

I will always remember the lessons George Benjamin gave us at the Royal College of Music in the early 90s. In fact, they weren't lessons and they weren't at the Royal College (though they were paid for by them) - they took place roughly once a month at George's home, usually on a Sunday, and were somewhere closer to lecture, informal chat, intellectual debating society. They were the kind of events as a young artist you dreamed of being able to attend - like those given by Benjamin's own teacher Messiaen in Paris. There were great sandwiches at lunchtime (free food was always the way to any student's heart), in fact the only thing that prevented them being truly legendary was the lack of alcohol. If they'd taken place in a smoke-filled back room of a North London pub, I think it would by now be a shrine. But for George - always boyish in both appearance and in the giggling delight he took in his subject - well, I guess smokey pubs just weren't his style.
So on these Sunday mornings somewhere between ten and twenty usually rather gaunt composer-types would file in to George's house. There would generally be a morning session and an afternoon on a separate topic. In the morning he might take half an act of Janacek's Kata Kabanova and pick apart the ingenious ways he stretched and pulled a main theme, less a straight-forward 'thematic development' and more theme-as-elastic-band which maintained its most general shape but could be stretched to snapping point anywhere along its length. Then in the afternoon he might invite somebody amazing from the music world to come and talk. To this day I can't believe I missed the one when the great Indian bansuri flautist Hariprasad Chaurasia came - I knew and loved his playing even then, and can't think what could have been more important.
What made these sessions so riveting was George himself. He was so enthusiastic and full of passion it was impossible not to get caught up in it. I used to bring even non-musician friends along just to feel the extraordinary atmosphere of excited learning. I think they were the first events where I actually felt someone was teaching me things I needed to know as a composer, there was no waffle, this was visceral, direct injections into the nervous system of composing. Indeed I think the main thing I took away from all those sessions was how to learn, which, in a tritely simplistic way you could describe as 'quality not quantity'. I think until that point, as quite a late starter in my knowledge of classical music I had always felt a little daunted by the Julian Andersons of this world, who could expound at length about the fascinating second theme of Glazunov's 3rd Symphony. But here I realised that a day spent by yourself looking - really looking - at a single page of a Beethoven Symphony could yield more priceless information than a lifetime of academic textbooks. And I think it's the self part of that equation that is particularly important. We're all as artists trying to discover that thing which is as sickeningly easy to describe as it is unbearably hard to understand - our 'true voice'. And it's only by looking at things with your own eyes rather than through someone else's that you can start the process of finding it.
And it's strange now to realise that that mantra applies to George's lessons themselves. However much I loved those sessions, looking back from where I am now I can see that my 'true voice' is quite a long way from George's and that deeply inside I even knew that back then. I remember, for example, taking some pieces along to show George. One little piece 'Baka Studies' played around with some African rhythms. It was by far the best thing I had ever done, but although he said nothing negative, I could sense that it was too straight-forward for George, he called it 'cute'. For quite a few years after that I attempted to follow the path I admired rather than my own inner calling. What a paradox. One piece from that time ended with a great little interlocking hocketing groove. It sounded great, and was the moment everyone picked out from the piece - "loved that bit at the end". That was my own voice poking out, but I wasn't ready to accept it at that stage, I dismissed that moment and binned the piece. I wanted to write something that George would have called something better than 'cute'.
What George would think of what I'm doing now, I really don't know. But the important thing is, it doesn't really matter. I have to trust what I do, and what I like, follow my own path. People usually say that, meaning "even if it's so obscure no one will like it", but in my case, the bravery has come from accepting that my own path might be something that speaks much more simply and directly and that I should follow it, even if it leads me far away from people whom I still greatly admire, like George.
One of the more interesting things a member of the much-derided profession of music critic can attempt, is to draw together and summarize the various trends in new work that are emerging. With the first decade of the new millennium solidly behind us, now seems to be a time that critics on both sides of the Atlantic are doing just that. I'm thinking in particular of Guardian-writer Tom Service's Aberdeen lecture from October last year, re-published online here: http://www.sound-scotland.co.uk/site/2010/diary/10_23@1400_transcript.htm and Justin Davidsen's article in New York Magazine a couple of days ago on the 'new New York scene' http://nymag.com/arts/classicaldance/classical/reviews/new-composers-davidson-review-2011-3/
It's interesting that both offer quite negative appraisals of their respective new music scenes. Service attacks the climate of 'fear' in British contemporary music. He summarises two of the dominant trends as
1) 'new complexity' of the kind originated by Brian Ferneyhough, James Dillon, and Michael Finnissy
2) The 'decorative modernism' of Faber school composers like Oliver Knussen, Colin Matthews, George Benjamin, and Julian Anderson
Service describes the fear of tonal reference prevalent within the latter school, along with a " terror…of dislocation or rupture". For the former 'new complexity' school he perceives the fear to be one of ever appearing to be "part of any perceived mainstream, which means, in musical terms, refusing (so-called) conventional modes of expression tonal chords, repeated rhythms, anything that smacks of the superficially 'pleasant' – in favour of a blasted musical landscape of supposed violence, rupture, and dislocation."
Whatever one thinks of the music Service is criticising, it is the musty, cliquey worlds of contemporary performance which -rightly I think- most dishearten him. We all know the scene he describes in his opening paragraphs of the inward-looking contemporary concert, which serves no useful purpose to composer, public or musician - it is an anthropological oddity in the extreme.
Service looks to the younger generation for hope and inspiration - a generation free from fear, and open to the world both in terms of the music that inspires them and in their choice of venue. He mentions both Camberwell Composers Collective and Gabriel Prokofiev's Nonclassical nights as examples of this new direction in the UK, and interestingly, looks to New York's post-minimalist downtown scene for further reasons for optimism.
And yet it's this very New York scene which comes in for a heavy dose of home truths in the Justin Davidson article. The composers Davidson mentions - people like Missy Mazzoli, Judd Greenstein and Nico Muhly, all have many of the features Service admires- they are entrepreneurial in spirit, setting up their own groups, record-labels and more . They are also 'unafraid' in that, as a 'YouTube generation', they draw their influences from an eclectic range of sources. And yet, Davidson says, the group seems, "disoriented by its own open-mindedness" - and their music "somehow feels stifled by all that freedom."
I enjoyed the polemical positions both articles take - such strong statements of belief seem increasingly rare. In the age of the 'description-only review', we should cherish the fact that two critics have themselves abandoned their fears and spoken their minds. The two articles seem to address both the outward perception of our music and our own inward self-perception as composers. Both point out the problems of belonging to a school or scene - even though I'm sure every last one of the composers mentioned thinks of themselves as being outsiders/mavericks to their respective scenes (don't we all?). But both articles also point out the challenge of being a creative artist, and taken together, they offer us a useful mantra- be free from fear, but don't let that freedom turn you soft.
C:T talks to clarinetist/bass clarinetist Heather Roche
Tell us something about your background.
I'm Canadian, born and bred and did my first degree at the University of Victoria. Following this, I moved to London to study, where I stayed two years (at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama) before beginning my PhD at the University of Huddersfield. I now live in Cologne, Germany, where I'm freelancing and finishing up writing my doctoral thesis.

Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, one of the most celebrated contemporary composers, died this morning in a Katowice hospital after a protracted illness.
He would be aged 77 in three weeks' time. The announcement was made at 11.30 by Polish Radio 2, which interrupted its regular programming and continued with the Third Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, the work which made Gorecki world famous in the early 1990s.
Last month, Górecki received the Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest state distinction.

Earlier this month I spoke with Marco Blaauw, trumpet-player with Cologne-based new music ensemble musikFabrik
Tell us something about your background.
My name is Marco Blaauw, I am a Dutch trumpeter. I started my professional career in 1991, originally as an all-around trumpeter, playing musical gigs, orchestra gigs, a lot of baroque music on the natural trumpet. In the fall of 1991, I met Peter Eötvös in a project with the Asko Ensemble. From that moment on, playing his music, playing Stockhausen's music, conducted by him, I knew that I wanted to specialize on contemporary music. From that moment on, I stopped all the other activities and concentrated just on contemporary music studying with Pierre Thibaud in Paris and with Markus Stockhausen in Cologne. I worked on a lot of solo repertoire, and I started working with composers of our time and that way generated a lot of solo pieces, chamber music pieces.
In 1993, I was firstly invited by musikFabrik to play with them. I played music by Birtwistle and there was a very good feeling with the group. I have been a member of the group since 1994. In 1998 we had a revolution in the musikFabrik. We as musicians had the opportunity to take the artistic leadership of the ensemble, which we started doing with a lot of passion. This democratic way of running the ensemble was a very slow learning process, but inspired most of us so much, that we started identifying with the ensemble more and more.

Good to see some proms exposure for Israeli composer Betty Olivero, whose Neharót Neharót is being performed by the Britten Sinfonia at Cadogan hall this Saturday in a delicious sounding program including vocal group I Fagiolini. Olivero studied with Luciano Berio and I think the mixture of folk idioms and avant-garde sounds in Neharót Neharót clearly shows his influence. But she's a unique voice who deserves to be heard more.

Patrick Gazard has got in touch with us about an article he is writing for UK-based Classical Music magazine with regard to age limits on composition competitions and would love to hear people's thoughts about this topic, both composers and organisations who run competitions. Many competitions have an age-limit of 35 or 40. With composers like Elliot Carter still writing for 60+ years beyond that, is it really fair to limit competitions in this way?
Are you an organisation that runs a competition like this - if so what is the logic behind limiting the entries to a particular age? Are you a composer with experiences to tell, please give us your views. Please only post if you are happy for Patrick to quote you in the article. I will kick off with my own experiences in the comments section.
(comments for possible inclusion in Patrick's article need to be in by 21st June)
Earlier this month I spoke with British composer Ken Hesketh who has just finished a stint as Composer in the House with Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchesra.
Tell us something about your background.
I was born in Liverpool to a non-musical, but incredibly supportive, family. I joined Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral choir at eight. After my voice broke, I joined the Merseyside youth orchestra and then the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. I was fortunate to have all my early orchestral music performed by these orchestras (a fond memory was working with the late Vernon Handley around this time, a thoroughly enjoyable if daunting experience). I continued my musical studies at St. Mary's music school in Edinburgh and a little later at the Royal College of music. After my first post-grad I attended the Tanglewood summer course in 1995 where Henri Dutilleux was in residence. The summer of '95 was certainly one of the most special years of my life for reasons both musical and personal. I stayed in the USA to pursue a Masters degree in Composition at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and during this time I was awarded the Shakespeare Prize scholarship from the Toepfer Foundation in Hamburg which, on the completion of the degree, allowed me a stay of almost 2 years in Berlin. I returned to London in 1999 where I took up the Constant and Kit Lambert Fellowship at the RCM. After two years I began to teach at the RCM.

C:T talks to renowned composer Simon Holt, who, amongst many other things is the current Composer in Association with BBC National Orchestra of Wales
Tell us something about your background.
Born in Bolton in '58. Scrap metal merchant for a father, who was (he died in '75) interested in jazz. He visited the Hot Club in Paris with his mother in the 50s and had played trumpet in his late teens in a group called the Jive Five, but I gather, according to my aunt, that they only ever rehearsed (in a church!) and never actually played a gig! He stopped playing soon after. I certainly never saw, let alone heard, him play the trumpet. He had records of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Stephan Grapelli, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, which he would very occasionally play. There were a couple of ancient 78s, one of which was an arrangement for organ of a Beethoven minuet. How that came to be in the house, I will never know. I bought singles like 'Jeepster' by T.Rex and some things by The Small Faces. Long gone. The first classical records I bought were the Decca Karajan recording of Holst's 'The Planets' and 2 Mozart piano concertos; 11 and 15 with Peter Frankl playing. I think I still have them, but no record player. But, the music that excited me as a kid was pop music as I didn't really know then that there was any other kind. A good friend of mine at school had classical records including Beethoven's 3rd piano concerto, which I can remember finding very compelling, but it was things like Bowie's 'Space Oddity' and 'Purple Haze' by Jimi Hendrix, that had the most impact on me at that stage. Even now I have about 19 Bowie albums on iTunes.

Interviews are coming in thick and fast at the moment, and the latest is with pianist Mark Knoop, who plays an adventurous recital at Kings Place next week featuring new works by Richard Beaudoin and the late Feldman piano solo piece For Bunita Marcus.
Tell us something about your background.
I grew up in Hobart, in the Australian state of Tasmania, and started playing piano at the age of six. I was lucky to have a fantastic first teacher, Eric Mitchell, who instilled in me an excitement and curiosity about a huge range of music. I moved to Melbourne in 1992 and studied at the Victorian College of the Arts, a performing arts school encompassing dance and drama as well as music, both classical and jazz/improvisation. There I joined the recently formed Libra Ensemble, later becoming one of its artistic directors, and we presented a wide range of new music, both Australian and international. Since 2000 I have been living in London, and now perform in many different situations, including with the Plus-Minus ensemble, directed by composers Matthew Shlomowitz and Joanna
Bailie, and Ensemble Exposé, directed by Roger Redgate.

"composers are generally lovely. (If that sounds like a suck up, it is, send us your music!)" say trumpet quartet Bella Tromba.
Tell us about the quartet, how it was formed, it's raison d'etre.
It was Vickie's idea to get together and play. Originally it was just for fun, to help our playing develop and have a laugh together. For a few years we concentrated on building a repertoire, doing as many performances as possible focusing on giving an audience something really good. Now our focus is on building an international reputation, working with fine chamber musicians and playing great music. We are ambitious for the ensemble.
A few days ago the PRS Foundation announced the short-list for this year's New Music Award. The award offers £50,000 to a creative team towards the creation and performance of a ground-breaking new work. The award seems to be attempting to do for contemporary classical music what the Turner Prize has done for contemporary art - in particular, to attempt to stir up controversy or interest by selecting projects that have a wacky or unusual approach to making music.
I spoke with one of this year's short-listed candidates, composer Marc Yeats about his life and work, and about his 'SatSymph' proposal.
Tell us something about your background.
I didn't write this, but it's as good a précis of my background as any.
Born in 1962, an only child, brought up in London, attended a Roman Catholic school, had traumatic treatment at the hands of his father, losing his mother to cancer in 1977, when he was just 15, by which time he'd already commenced serious painting sold through private galleries, moved to Devon with his volatile father, ran a confectionary shop, experienced bankruptcy, yet all the while yearning to creatively express himself.
Stuart MacRae first rose to prominence when his Violin Concerto was performed at the 2001 Proms by Tasmin Little. His 2008 piece Gaudete - also featured at the Proms - set the poetry of Ted Hughes and marked a significant development in his musical language. Recently he has written a number of stage works, including The Assassin Tree (2006) with a libretto by Simon Armitage and Remembrance Day for Scottish Opera's Five:15 series
Tell us something about your background.
I was born and brought up in Inverness, though both my parents are from Skye so I spent a lot of time there too. Both my parents have 'normal' jobs, but they've been members of the Inverness Gaelic Choir for as long as I can remember - so music was always encouraged at home. I left school early and went to Durham University to study music, then Guildhall to do a Masters in composition, finishing when I was 20. I was in a big hurry in those days, for no particular reason. After that I stayed in London for a few years, spent a year in Paris and then moved to Glasgow, where I'm still based.
Recent or soon to be graduates from the Yale school of music comprise a fine collection of young composers, including Timo Andres whose album length work for two pianos was recently released by Nonesuch, and Ted Hearne who won the Gaudeamus prize ( and whom we interviewed on CT here). Now five of this talented group have enterprisingly got together to put on a show of their music at New York's Le Poisson Rouge this April 12th. I interviewd Chris Cerrone about the project.
Tell us about the upcoming concert.
Sleeping Giant is the premiere concert presented by a group of emerging composers that have come out of the Yale School of Music over the last few years. We'll be presenting new works by Timo Andres, Ted Hearne, Jacob Cooper, Robert Honstein and myself. I cooked up the idea for the concert when the five of us spent a weekend up in Westport, NY at the Honstein family summer cabin. There was so much joy in the group of us spending time together that for me it made sense for us to put on a concert. We're all close friends with a shared history and a strong desire to make music. As for the name, we wanted to name the concert after something New Haven-y, so we finally settled on Sleeping Giant, a park in Hamden, CT, an homage to our professor Ingram Marshall, who is famous (at least around Yale) for taking hikes and collecting mushrooms in that park.

Taking a bow.
Taking a bow is one of those curious aspects of being a composer. I've sometimes caught myself wondering what is going on in a composer's mind as they jump on stage- does this moment in the spotlight make it all worthwhile; is it a terrible duty which would be avoided if only it could; or is it something somewhere in between?
I still find it a quiet source of pride how few composers are ready for that moment in the spotlight, we emerge tramp-like and awkward - the epitomy of uncool, uncommercial - we come on stage in our un-ironed jackets, or with a sock still stuck in one trouser leg. Then we scurry across the stage as quick as we can, not knowing where to put ourselves, and take an awkward bow. There's an interesting paradox in the way so many composers are so unnatural on the stage: we spend our entire lives trying to create something that is after all intended for performance 'on the stage'. We are aware of the finest, subtlest details of how certain effects in our music will come across - we can subdue an entire crowd, get them laughing or crying with our notes; and yet when we have to present ourselves in person on the stage we are likely as not to stumble on the steps before we even get there!
I for one would love ocassionally to attend performances where I wasn't called up to the stage - for starters one is forced to sit in a poor seat at the edge of the row, probably near the back, so as to effect a quick and easy emergence. Then, rather than listening to the music, you spend the entire concert wondering how you will get past that lady with the large hat sitting right in the way of the stage access; do I just shake the conductor's hand, or do I make my way through the entire ensemble kissing and hugging all ten of them, forcing the audience to keep clapping while I do (and risking that they might stop!).
At the end of the day, we composers probably secretly quite like a bit of adulation from time to time, but there's no doubt on the whole we're much happier and more comfortable when we get back to our desks and have only the concerns of the manuscript page to occupy us.
The Aurora Orchestra seems to be going from strength to strength. Now in their fifth year, they recenly debuted at Kings Place where they have a new home, and have just announced a major three year residency with LSO St Lukes which will feature a series of cross-arts collaborations, the first of which I'm attending this Friday (full disclosure: I was offered a freebie) featuring Berio's Laborintus II and John Adams's Son of Chamber Symphony.
Since I first heard about them a few years ago, I sensed a freshness in their approach and programming; and the quality of their playing was confirmed when I saw their production (together with Mahogany Opera who also feature on Friday) of the wonderful but rarely performed (let alone staged) Renard by Stravinsky.
New ensembles come and go, but these guys have an air of permanence to them.

The Shawnee National Forest is famed for its awesome Garden of the Gods, and is home to the Rim Rock Recreational Trail (the forest has a system of 403 miles of equestrian/hiking trails). Hikers are greeted by magnificent jutting walls of rock covered with emerald-green moss, and paths that meander through canyons under the forest canopy. Nestled between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, the stunning Shawnee National Forest landscape features rolling hills, lakes, creeks and rugged bluffs. If you're into climbing than a must-see is Jackson Falls, located near the town of Ozark in the Hidden Springs Ranger District in Shawnee National Forest. The climb takes place on 60 feet of sandstone cliffs and boulders that include numerous freestanding towers.
Located near the town of Ozark in the Shawnee National Forest, Jackson Falls offers arguably the best rock climbing in southern Illinois. There are roughly 60 climbing areas along the sandstone bluffs and freestanding boulders, each with multiple named routes on them. There are over 500 named routes in all. Most of the routes are 50-60 feet in height. The whole area sits in a very scenic glen. Most of the routes at Jackson Falls are sport routes, though there are a number of traditional routes, and a few areas suitable for setting up a top-rope. There are also many excellent bouldering opportunities here.
The Little Grand Canyon trail is located within the Shawnee National Forest. Experience the easy 3.6 miles of beauty it offers as you ride your bike or hike these fun trails that meander past lush wooded canyons, riverside bluffs, songbirds, woodpeckers and deer; while hawks and vultures soar high above the cliffs. Explore towering rock walls, eroded sandstone canyons, craggy bluffs and moist bottom lands, too.

Lusk Creek Canyon is the most well known whitewater run in Southern Illinois. The creek starts out in woodland bottoms with relatively minor gradient but soon is surrounded by rocky hillsides and cliffs. These cliffs rise out of the water to heights over one hundred feet. After the canyon section, the cliffs recede and the creek is surrounded by forest for the final mile. Rapids on this creek are at low to moderate levels and are mostly Class II in nature. However, this is not a good beginner run. This creek flows through forests before entering the canyon.

"I found these shoes in the clearance area of my local DSW. They're black suede and there's almost a lacy/paisley, shiny print to them (I haven't found this print online) and it's very feminine and pretty without being super flashy.The heel is a nice height and I like that it's a little blockier than the stilettos that are so popular nowadays, so they're more stable to walk in. I also really, really like the cushioned footbed! The inside of the heel is a little rough, though, so I am going to need to buy some heel grips to cushion that.I think my favorite thing about these shoes is how far the top comes up. I have a bunion on my right foot, and it's extremely difficult to find shoes that don't press on it an cause pain. These, however, come up high enough to completely cover the bunion so they don't hurt AT ALL! (One consequence of the higher top, though, is the shoe looks a little funny, like the toes are too long. That's a minor thing, though, and I doubt anyone besides me would notice.)Overall, great shoe and I highly recommend it!"

Like wearing slippers
"These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. They are pretty, have a modest heel, and even after wearing for 12 hours they are comfortable and your feet don't hurt. They look cute w/a short skirt or slacks. Love them!!!!"

"Bought these in black yesterday afternoon and wore them for 3 hours at an event last night. I've had a hard time finding a comfortable pump that stays on my feet (usually the heel slips) but these did the trick! My feet are between medium and wide, and my toes did not feel squished. I could do without the bow, but the comfort overrides the look. The tan pair is now on my shopping list!"

low toe box
"Nice padding inside and a hard to find low heel height. But the top pushed down on my toes. It's not the width per se, but the height of the toe area. I was worried about it forcing an ingrown nail, so I tried stretching it a little by putting a rock where my big toe would go, which I think helped a bit. This might not be a common problem though."

Iran CAPA Aviation Summit – hope turns to frustration, but optimism remains as growth abounds
When CAPA – Centre for Aviation held its first conference in Iran at the end of Jan-2016 the atmosphere was primarily one of optimism. Immediately preceding the conference the expectation was that Iran and the West would move to rapidly reverse decades of estrangement. The first round of sanctions against Iran had come down – in line with the historic 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear agreement reached between Iran and the '5+1' powers – and major airlines and aircraft manufacturers were coming to the table.
While it was acknowledged that progress on major deals was not going to happen overnight, the hope was that as layers of sanctions came down, Iran would be embraced by the rest of the world. In return, Iran was expected to open itself up progressively to foreign trade and investment, and to travel.
The road ahead was perceived to be one that was both a very different, and far easier, one than the one Iran had already travelled. Aviation in particular was a sector that was expected to shine and lead the way for a new era for the country.
Logic dictates approval of Alaska-Virgin America merger; anti-trust hawks loom large
A pushback in the closing date of the merger of Alaska Air Group and Virgin America – to allow the US government more time for its review of the transaction – created some jitters among investors about the eventual approval of the tie-up, evidenced by a drop in Virgin America's stock price, which had soared after the deal was tabled in Apr-2016.
Despite the extra time regulators are taking to review the merger, a full-blown rejection of the deal is unlikely given the drastically smaller scope created by Alaska and Virgin America. Indeed, the combined airline creates a more viable entity to compete with the mega-carriers created by previous mergers; not a threat to consumer choice.
Close scrutiny by US regulators was always expected, as are some form of concessions in order for the agreement to ultimately gain the government's approval. The form those concessions could take has spurred significant speculation from slot divestitures to the relinquishment of gates. Perhaps the key for Alaska is ensuring that the composition of those concessions does not compromise the economics of the transaction.

Love these!
"These shoes are very comfortable, sexy and fit perfect. I wear a 7.5 and don't have wide or narrow feet, these fit great and are very sexy. The back doesn't slip off and stays in place while walking which is something I've had issues with on other shoes with a similar style. I'm tempted to get them in another color. Lots of compliments on them and they pair well with almost anything."

By Floyd Ingram/Chickasaw Journal
HOUSTON – Jo Cross stopped to get a Chickasaw Journal newspaper and spotted smoke coming from the roof of Aaron's Cleaners.
"I ran across the street to the fire department and they were gone on a call," said Cross. "That's when I called 911."
Firefighters returning from a medical run north of town turned the corner on the Square in Houston and quickly rolled out hoses and attacked the blaze at 227 East Madison on Tuesday night.
"We don't know at this time what caused the fire, but when we got in the front door it appeared to be in the front of the building," said Captain Jonathan Blankenship, of the Houston Fire Department. "When our volunteers rolled up the door at the back they were confronted with about 30, five-gallon buckets of cleaning fluid."
Cleaning fluid or Tetrachloroethylene is non-flammable but does give off toxic fumes. The chemical is also heavier than water and quickly seeps into the ground, clothing and skin.
"There was a lot of flame from all the clothes that were on fire," said Blankenship. "We saved the building but the entire content was ruined by fire, smoke and water damage."
Smoke from the fire blanketed downtown Houston and forced Houston policemen to close Highway 8 and route traffic around the block.
Firefighters were on the scene more than three hours.
Blankenship said firefighters were hampered by a tongue-and-groove double ceiling. Fire in that space prompted the department climb onto the building and cut a hole in the roof to put out the blaze.
The nail salon on the east side of the building suffered smoke damage. The Chickasaw Journal, on the west side of the fire also suffered smoke damage.
"We had a good response from our volunteers and I'm very glad the cleaning fluid didn't give us any problem and no one was hurt," said Blankenship. "I'm also glad we were able to contain the fire to the dry cleaners."
The fire was reported about 7:30 p.m., and firefighters were on the scene until after 10:30 wetting down hot spots and making sure the fire did not re-ignite.

Did You Know? Countdown to Thanksgiving (11/14)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures &
Folklore about the Pilgrims
& America's Thanksgiving
Nov 14 : 11 days till Thanksgiving
Did you know that the first thanksgiving celebration was held in the fall of 1621 by the proclamation of Pilgrim Governor William Bradford?
He invited the neighboring Native Americans to join with the colonists in the three-day celebration, which featured games, races, bow and arrow competitions, and of course feasting of the bounty of the fall harvest.
Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks, a time for family gatherings and holiday meals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giant balloons. We are delighted to invite you to partake in our Thanksgiving celebration. Our table is full this year, but we always have room for one more! So join us for a new Did You Know? each day as we count down to Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving will be celebrated on Thursday November 25th.

Nice color and comfy
"I like the red of this shoe - in person it is orangey/pink red, so the red goes with lots (it's a warm red). Looked great with denim, especially since heel is not too high. But also works more dressed up. Super versatile for a red shoe. Size is typical Italian shoe (order 1/2 size bigger than American). Cut of shoe shows a little toe cleavage, but not too much."

Well...as hindsight would have it, at this moment it looks like the Mike Goodson pickup would be another that goes down in annals of Jets history. During te offseason he was charged with gun and drug possession and now he's not in camp fr "personal reasons. From what I've read, the Jets don't even know when to expect him in camp which puts the offense even further behind the 8-ball given the uncertainty of the passing game.

Rumor has it that hes in rehab. Hopefully he returns, we need him. I doubt he gets charged with the gun possession, from reading the report it seemed like the gun belonged to the guy he was driving with.

|In response to Re: Should I replace my pressure tank?
: Hello,
: I have well water which is pumped into a 30 year old steel pressure tank. There is no separation between the air and water. I maintain the tank carefully, recharging it every 4 to 6 months. It runs 42PSI (pump on) to 62PSI (pump off). I get a drawdown of 8 gallons before the pump turns on. The pump was replaced 15 years ago.
: Here is my question. Should I replace this prefectly good, working tank with a larger precharged bladder tank? Since I get only approx 8 gallons between each pump cycle, I would like to decrease the amount of times the pump runs while increasing the amount of water per pump cycle. A 15 year old pump may not have too many cycles left in it and replacing it would be costly. I heard that the pressure tank should be sized based on the number of fawcets in your house. Doesn't it make sence to get the biggest tank possible so that you have more water per pump cycle? I have 14 fawcets in my house. What would you recommend I do? Leave the old tank alone? Replace it with a standard bladder type tank or replace it with the biggest tank I can buy?

Love these
"I love that these sandals can be worn casually or dressed up. The little touch of gold is really nice. The bottoms are a little wider than usual, but they still fit great! And they actually have some support, which is unusual for many of my sandals."

Conditions for New York manufacturers dipped slightly in April, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Empire State Manufacturing Survey shows.
The general business conditions index slipped four points to 1.3. In March it was at 5.6. Twenty-six percent of respondents reported conditions had improved over the month, while 24 percent reported conditions had worsened. A reading above zero indicates expansion.
"Business activity was flat for New York manufacturers," the report states.
The new orders index fell from 3.1 to below zero, at -2.8. This shows a slight decline in orders over the month, officials said. The unfilled orders index remained negative at -13.3, and the inventories index dropped 10 points from March to -3.1.
The prices paid index was little changed, and at 22.5, pointed to continued moderate input price increases, the report shows.
The prices received index climbed eight points from 2.4 to 10.2, which represents a pickup in the pace of selling price increases.
Employment indexes suggested modest improvement in labor market conditions. The index for number of employees inched up to 8.2, indicating a small increase in employment levels.
Indexes for the six-month outlook pointed to a fair level of optimism about future business activity. The future general business conditions index advanced five points to 38.2.

ATTN: Medical Personnel
Do words like pro-inflammatory cytokines and immune cells mean anything to you? If you have a general understanding of medical terminology, I could use your help in reviewing some studies on intermittent fasting.
Apologies in advance if this is spammy or in the wrong forum.
7/16/2013 12:03pm, #2--
To be more specific, I need someone with working knowledge of terms such as:
Tumor necrosis factor alpha
Interleukin 6
And also the role they play in inflammation and the immune system.
7/16/2013 12:20pm, #33
Sounds to me like those topics are way over your head.
You've done that before.

I don't know about interleukin 6, but my uncle discovered interleukin 2. He says you're free to go get your own goddamned medical degree. His words, not mine.

Do you have a specific hypothesis relating to this stuff, or are you just shooting around in the dark? Did you hear about them somewhere and they are supposed to do something that you think it should or should not do?
If not, then I will answer your origional question. Nope, those mean nothing to me.Combatives training log.

Cute and comfy
"These are really flat but very comfortable. Very boho. Order at least a half size smaller than you normally wear."

"I love these shoes. They look even better in person then in the picture and they were gorgeous in the picture! They suede is also in the inside so they are so comfortable. The color is different from your every day natural color shoes and the embellishments on the front can allow you to dress up or down with the shoe. Great purchase!"

"I fell in love with its boho moccasin yet chic style but needless to say they went back to my local dsw store. I ordered them in a 6.5 half a size smaller when I am a solid size 7. I walked right out of them at one point when my foot got caught in my area rug during my usual test run at home. They also seemed like they were coming undone at the front seams."

Not recommended
"I purchased this shoe online and ordered a half size down based on reviews. I usually by a 6.5 and ordered a 6. It fit fine, it just didn't stay on my foot because of the sling back or something. It kept coming off. Also within just one hour the stitching in the front started coming undone! Very poorly made shoe! Don't buy!"

What would the chances of Law being Sabo actually be?
What would the chances of Law being Sabo actually be?
I'm just saying, Sabo was heavily injured, so perhaps he decided to learn medical skills, especially after being treated so much, would have learnt a lot subconciously. Then there's the part where Sabo always planned on being a captain, of which he did become one. He also saved Luffy for no obvious reason, other than perhaps to gain the WG's attention. And he wears a hat, albeit not a top hat.
its at the very least possible and he does have a death tattoo. maybe that could mean he technically died, then some one like iva brought him back? if he is sabo that is, meaning that would go with this green book page that says he died at least. idk no really evidence but its possible i guess.
Lolz, it's one of my lazier theories. Actually, I'm not even sure how I got to it.
@Xioa: Iva has been shown to change even the gender of a person, much less just hair colour. As for age, that I'm not too sure of, but Sabo is the same age as Ace, a Law looks to be similar age.
Like xioaxioa said, it was stated in One Piece Green Sabo actually lost his life in the incident. The author of the databooks happen to be Oda and the whole purpose of the databooks is to reveal things the manga did not.
The databook said he died, people in the manga said he died. He remains dead until said otherwise. End of story.
I'm really surprised by the completely baseless speculations people threw out in the earlier pages, especially OP/TC.
Oh and I'm totally new so sorry for just barging in, just had to say my piece.
^ Can u show me where the green book sais that?
I don't really read those things so it'd be nice to see that fact in black & white for once.

my children were given these for a week and although they did become little unwell, this cordyceps seem to prevent the flu to become worse. I would continue to give them regularly and hopefully, it does help their immunities...
It tastes SO much better than Doctor's Best
Отзыв оставлен Reviewer1830598 сен 02, 2013
With Doctor's Best Ultra Cordyceps, there was a pronounced earthy aftertaste that would be experienced for quite a while after taking. With New Chapter's version, there is absolutely no aftertaste what-so-ever! I actually look forward to taking them now... good and good for you! :-)

Nothing special
Отзыв оставлен juniper июн 28, 2012
I did not feel any different when I used this product. You have to take more than the prescribed servings to get the therapeutic effect but it would be so expensive to do so. And even with therapeutic doses (based on PubMed), I still did not feel anything substantial. There are other cheaper supplements to get the same effects such as berries.
very good product
