Novation Bass Station Rack
The Bass Station is an incredible little synth that was an instant success when released. It is a monophonic analog bass synthesizer and was basically one of the first new analog synths to hit the music market since the 1980's. It is great at recreating classic TB-303 lines and fat Moog tones. Every control from typical analog synths can be found on this: ADSR, filter, oscillator sync modes, tuning, and LFO! And most of these can be MIDI controlled.
The Bass Station has dual-DCO's which are true analog oscillators, digitally synchronized, to generate analog but stable sawtooth and pulse waveforms (the same waveforms offered by the TB-303). They can each be tuned, mixed and synced together. The analog filter is a switchable 12 or 24dB/oct with cutoff, resonance, envelope amount, and assignable ADSR. The LFO has variable speed and delay with random, triangle or sawtooth shapes. The LFO can modulate the filter and/or PWM.
A very useful feature includes the built in MIDI/CV converter which allows you to control the Bass Station from an older analog synth, or you can control analog synths with MIDI through the Bass Station! All knob settings are MIDI transmit/receivable and there are 60 user patches for program storage. Another important feature is the analog input for filtering external sound sources! The Bass Station Keyboard was the original version but is a bit more limited than this classic. It is used by William Ørbit, Biosphere, Massive Attack, Orbital, Apollo 440, Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, Jimi Tenor, Laurent Garnier, ATB, Sneaker Pimps, Out of Logic and Underworld.

I have been offline a while and just re-downloaded my PSP 9 and want to scrap BUT im having issues with memory..MY memory! I know the basics of using a template, but am lost on the last steps. I am hung up on the SELECT ALL, FLOAT, DEFLOAT, THEN INVERT.. then im thinking to cut away excess its CTRL-D? im lost in between these steps I guess. When I float, will I be on the paper im cutting or the template layer? I hope im explaining correctly and hope someone can shed light on my major headache so I can use templates again!!

Hi Terri, sorry I don't use PSP, maybe someone else who uses it will be along with some help for you.
In the meantime, have you checked the PSP Forum?

I'm fairly proficient in PSP. What product are you using? What are you trying to do?
Posted 05 January 2013 - 09:03 PM
I use various products that ive bought or gotten as freebies. I am trying to use templates ive collected and just cant rememebr the steps I used to have memorized. It was a fast 5 step process to lay a paper on top of the desired shape on the template, and cut that shape out of the paper I had layed over the template. To the best of my recollection it was lay the paper over template shape I want,lets just say a heart.. SELECTIONS, SELECT ALL which makes the "marching ants", then I think it was FLOAT, DEFLOAT.. there will be marching ants in the shape of the heart (Not sure if I should be on the paper layer before I defloat or not) then I think it was INVERT, then to cut away all excess of my paper and reveal the desired shape of the heart i could have sworn it was CTRL-D.. but its not working. Not sure if im making one tiny mistake, which is messing me up or whats going on. I hope I can get someone to understand, as I dont know how else to explain this LOL
Posted 06 January 2013 - 08:32 AM
This is what I would do. Click in the layer where your heart is in the layers palette on the right hand side of the screen. Then, on the left hand side, select the Magic Wand. It is found with the selection tools. Make sure the tolerance is set around 5 to 10. Click your mouse in the checkerboard area outside of the heart. The marching ants should appear around the edge of the heart. Now click on the paper layer in the layers palette. Click your delete key, then Control D. Done!
At this point, you can play with the blending modes in the paper layer if your heart has a texture or design.

LOL @ HPL! (isnt it funny how easily we learn a new language when we have too) Where the heck were you last Thursday? I pulled up all the dictionaries I could get on my IPhone at the time, and could not prove my contention that stob was a real word! Honestly, I was struck dumb to find out not one person in the group had ever heard the word. These are folks with more letters after their names than in mine.
Here is the original sentence, "As she raced through the bramble, thorns and stobs tore at Becky's ankles and ripped her jeans". The suggestion, "thorns and stobs, small sharp stumps of harvested pines, tore at Becky's, etc., etc. I didn't like that much so just added a sentence to the original, ala: "Racing through the bramble, thorns and stobs tore at Becky's ankles and ripped her jeans. The field was covered in these short sharp stumps of harvested pines."
I will see how that flies in class next week. But now I am tempted to go back to the original and tell 'em to look it up in Merriam Webster! But the idea is the same. Learn to convey meaning through use. Now I am going to have to write a sentence using sequacious without being overly servile. Not my style.

Bill Gates, Zuck, and Gabe Newell Say You Should Learn To Be A Coder
Code.org is a website designed to both spread the word that there are tens of thousands of vacant jobs for programmers out there and also provide an "authoritative database of all programming schools" available, both online and at physical locations. You can also begin to learn to code right there on the website.
If you're unconvinced, check out this video of smart and talented people telling you that you coding is something you should learn to do.
Hadi Partovi, founder of Code.org, puts it succinctly in the video: "Whether you're trying to make a lot of money, or whether you just want to change the world, computer programming is an incredibly empowering skill to learn."
Learning to code at Code.org
Bill Gates first learned to code when he was in middle school, because some wealthy donor insisted that the kids have a computer lab. This was at a time when computers were simply not very accessible, and here Gates was as an adolescent with access to essentially the best computers that money could buy. Gates' own brilliance and dogged determination made him a success, but what if he didn't have computers on which to learn coding? Consider for a moment where the world would be without Microsoft as a tech company and then subsequently without Gates as a billionaire philanthropist.
The Internet is the most liberating innovation in human history since the printing press, and Code.org is a powerful way for anyone with an Internet connection (or access to a connected library or school) to tap into the skills needed to be part of the ever-growing computer technology field.
Coders can change their own lives for the better while also solving the world's problems or developing new innovations; it's an exciting time to be alive.

I very rarely ever visit POTUS. Until recently, it's been probably a couple years since I checked you guys out. (I enjoy political discussion too much to see it mangled like this! )
j/k ... please read on.
The absolute best political discourse I have seen for a long time ... and VERY entertaining ... was the "debate" between Bill O'Reilly and Jon Stewart, "The Rumble in the Air-conditioned Auditorium". 90 minutes of hilarious exchange between these two guys who, at the same time explored the issues as well as you have seen.
Regardless which side of the fence you are on (even Franco's side ) you will find plenty to cheer and plenty to boo and you will be laughing most of the time. Even some good-natured name calling. AND, it is a great demonstration of how 2 people with opposing views can go at it hard and still be respectful and try to understand the others' point of view.
If you haven't seen it, it can be downloaded for 5 bucks (I think it's still available) and most of it goes to their charities. Bipartisan "three thumbs up"!
BTW it was a tie.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 8:01 PM GMT on July 22, 2010
Tropical Depression Three is steadily organizing, and appears poised to become a much stronger storm than was forecast. Water vapor satellite loops show that the upper level low to the west of TD 3 that has been bringing high levels of wind shear to the storm is now moving faster to the west than predicted. This faster motion has resulted in a reduction in wind shear over TD 3, to a moderate 10 knots. Satellite images of TD 3 show that the storm is taking advantage of the lower shear by developing several low-level spiral bands to the north and east of the center. However, the center of circulation is still exposed to view, and dry air is still getting injected into the core of the storm from the southwest. The storm's heavy thunderstorms have not increased in intensity this afternoon, and the amount of heavy thunderstorm activity near the core of the storm is still limited. TD 3 will need to build more intense thunderstorms near its center before significant intensification can occur. TD 3 is a small storm, and surface observations in the Bahamas do not show the circulation very well. An outer rain band of TD 3 is now visible on Miami long-range radar, and a flood watch has been issued for all of South Florida. The Hurricane Hunters are in the storm at present, and have found top surface winds of 35 - 40 mph.
Figure 1. Afternoon satellite image of TD 3.
Track Forecast for TD 3
The storm is in a straightforward steering current environment, and TD 3 should progress steadily to the west-northwest through Sunday. This will bring the storm ashore over the Florida Keys or South Florida on Friday, and into the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday. The latest set of model runs from 8am EDT (12Z) foresee a track more to the north than the previous set of model runs. This increases the threat to the oil spill region, and I give a 40% chance that the oil spill region will see tropical storm force winds of 39 mph or higher this weekend. Oil recovery and relief well drilling operations should cease. If TD 3 makes a direct hit on the oil spill region as a tropical storm with 50 - 60 mph winds, it will likely drive a storm surge of 3 - 6 feet with high waves on top into the Louisiana marshlands, fouling a large area with oil. Oil would also penetrate into Lake Pontchartrain, which lies just two feet above sea level. However, the wave action of the storm will dilute the oil to some degree, which may limit the damage to the marshlands.
If you are wondering about the specific probabilities of receiving tropical storm force winds at your location, I recommend the wind probability product from NHC. The latest 5 pm probabilities of various locations getting tropical storm force winds, 39 mph or higher:
Marathon 55%
Marco Island 43%
Miami 34%
New Orleans 33%
Galveston 13%
Intensity Forecast for TD 3
The primary detriment to development of TD 3 for the next three days will be the presence of the large upper-level low to its west. If the low remains in its present location, relative to TD 3, it will bring wind shear of about 10 knots to the storm. This will allow for steady intensification of perhaps 20 mph per day, and TD 3 could be a hurricane by Sunday at that pace. However, if the upper-level low slows down a bit, relative to TD 3, more shear and dry air will affect the storm, potentially weakening it. None of the computer models is calling for TD 3 to strengthen into a hurricane, but if the shear continues at 10 knots, I expect TD 3 will become a hurricane. My low-confidence intensity forecast gives TD 3 a 40% chance of becoming a hurricane. NHC is putting the odds of TD 3 being a hurricane at 2 pm Sunday at 15% with their 5pm advisory.
An area of disturbed weather (98L) has developed in the Gulf of Mexico's Bay of Campeche. This system is under a low amount of shear, 5 - 10 knots, and probably does not have enough time to organize into a tropical depression before making landfall along the Mexican coast a few hundred miles south of the Texas border on Friday.

text: If you didn't see the news on FBTB, Lego Direct will be releasing a new Naboo Fighter in August that will have a better design and chrome bricks for the nose and engines. It'll be about the same number of bricks as the original Naboo Fighter set (though that had 4 minifigs and a mini-vehicle) and will cost $40 (the higher price is mainly because of the chrome). It won't come with mini-figures, instead it'll be a mini-UCS-style ship. If this mini-UCS thing works out, I'd love to see other SW ships done in mini-fig style but with UCS designs such as the X-wing and Snowspeeder.

McNeese's Pale Peril
Fly Tyer: Flytyer (Russ)
Pattern: McNneese's Pale Peril
I fish this fly only in sizes # 5 and # 7, Aleck Jackson Spey Hook and only fish it during late summer/fall, mid august through mid November. It is a very good fly in the morning but it is not good for afternoon/evening fishing. Also it works very well on dark gray days that have a light rain falling all day long.
I have found the fly to work only in the softer water just above the tail out on into the tail out of a pool. At the head of the run, in the riffled water, it has not produced any fish for my friends or myself.
I fish it exclusively on a floating line with a leader of 12 feet to 16 feet long and no weight added to leader or fly. It fishes in the top foot or less of the water column and I have found that to be ideal for it to induce strikes. Also, I purposely allow a bit of a downstream belly to form in the line in order to let the fly move a bit faster than the current in these slow, smooth water areas I find it productive.
To tie the fly, all one has to do is follow the tying sequence as laid out in the following pattern recipe:
Hook: Alec Jackson Spey #5 or #&, Partridge Bartleet in #4 to # 8 is OK
Thread: Purple started where just in front of where the hook return touches the shank
Tag: Flat silver tinsel
Tail: Red hackle fibers or red dyed Golden Pheasant Crest
Body: Purple braided mylar
Ribbing: Small oval silver
Wing: White arctic fox, polar bear, calf tail, or Yak, followed by UV pearl krystal flash (not more than 5 strands, 4 is best) on top of he white hair
Hackle: Purple, tied as collar, over the wing buts, long (oversized) about 6 or 7 turns, tie off on bottom of hook
Over wing: Purple bucktail, calf tail, arctic fox, polar bear, or Yak.
Head: purple
Following the tying sequence of the pattern recipe provides the tying directions. At the head of the fly, place a drop of fleximent, over the butts of the over wing, cover them with 6 or 7 wraps of thread and then whip finish over these wraps. This produces a nice small head that has a lot of strength.

Teachers - My two friends who are both teachers, Fi and Liz, seem to be the most affected by current events. It must be painful to encounter the ingnorance and hope of the schoolyard teaching our youth who have no perspective of what happened.
diaries - mbp and sethcohn both aptly summing up the past 24 hours as the dust settles. Another diary caught my eye with the mention of the word PEACE, it was certainly shattered on Tuesday and shocked the world. The world needs leadership toward it, currently peace is only a luxury to those who can afford it.
The United Nations seemingly is our last best hope for that currently but given that even affluent countries such as Australia, who are signatories on the Declaration of Human Rights, can afford to ignore it (with respect to recent asylum seekers) and countries such as the United States of America refusing to sign up to treatries on the use and prohibition of landmines for domestic political reasonings, where are the right thinking men of the world?

Votes are still being counted in Afghanistan's presidential election, but preliminary results suggest that no candidate won a majority. If these results hold up and no backroom deals are cooked up between Afghan politicians, a runoff poll will follow and the victor will not likely be declared until late summer. That timeline is making U.S. and NATO military planners very nervous.
A delay of several months would have little consequence if not for the problem of the unsigned Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) between Washington and Kabul. Without it, President Barack Obama has told President Hamid Karzai that the United States will remove all of its military forces from Afghanistan by year's end. Karzai has steadfastly refused to sign the accord and no one expects him to change his mind now.
Despite the impasse with Karzai, U.S. and other NATO military leaders have so far held fast to the hope that Afghanistan's next president will sign the BSA. That would enable a total force of between 8,000 to 12,000 troops to train, advise, and assist the Afghans over several more years in a mission dubbed "Operation Resolute Support." Hope has been bolstered by the fact that both of Afghanistan's top presidential contenders have pledged to sign the BSA. NATO planners believe they can keep the Resolute Support option open until roughly mid-September. After that, the logistics of moving troops and supplies out of Afghanistan will require them to begin a complete pullout or risk a humiliating, last minute exodus.

Here's another of those little epiphany moments that make you look back and say, "Wow, where does the time go?"
Carl Barela sent us this picture of his son Stephen pitching for the Eagle Valley Devils recently against the Moffat County Bulldogs.
Not only does it seem like yesterday that Carl and Connie announced they were having a baby (Stephen), but I even remember Carl when he was just a little tyke running around the Antlers. His mom (Stephen's grandma, of course) is Millie Barela who led the Antlers housekeeping department for 35 years. Happily, everyone in the whole family is doing well.
Oh yeah … The Bulldogs only got one run off Stephen in five innings and the Devils won.

There's nothing quite like the combination of bad house music and decent General {Gau Tso Cho Chau}'s Chicken. I was people-watching in the Castro during Pride Week here in San Francisco. As always, the neighborhood was bustling with activity.
After dinner, mjs, eskil and I walked a short distance up the hill to our new flat. My cat was still traumatized from being relocated to a place which smelled different to her. She eventually got used to it, though, and attempted to join Eskil and I out on the deck for a beer. No beer for cats, though.
I like the new place a great deal, though we will see what it looks like with my horrible half-scavenged furniture in my room, like my desk, which has often inspired the comment "I didn't know Hewlett-Packard made furniture". I am hoping to get the remainder of my stuff out of the old place soon, but I am going away for the weekend to Monterey, where I will be finishing my scuba class in an attempt to become a certified diver. Hopefully I'll also be able to satiate my current inexplicable craving for seafood of all sorts.
The diving class has been interesting for me. Being under the water for long periods of time without surfacing can get a little freaky, but having gotten a bit more used to it it's very fun. Having appropriately fitting equipment is important, too.
I guess you could say I've returned from the advogato dead. Tune in next time when you'll hear tales of scary hardware, open water diving, the thrill of temporary victory over the SF rental market, and the agony of defeat by poorly-planned apt-get dist-upgrades.

In the FT schedule from RFTN, there is listed a Trial put on by the Jackson Hole Retriever Club in Ronan, Montana July 13-15, 2007.
I can find no info on this trial on the AKC website. Also, on the same weekend Treasure State Retriever Club is holding a FT in Butte, Montana (this event shows up on the AKC event search)...
Does anyone know if the Jackson Hole Retriever Club will be holding a FT, and if so when and where??
This topic came up during our training session ytdy..
Thanks for any info.

Rabbit snaring is a long-standing tradition in Newfoundland and Labrador. For many decades, the snowshoe hare has provided sustenance, recreation and an excuse to spend time in the woods to many lovers of the outdoors.
Although native to Labrador, the hare was introduced to the island in the 1860s. Way to go, guys, whoever you were. Introducing non-native species is no longer considered an ecologically sound principle, but I'm applauding this one, along with brown trout and moose.
There's no doubt that rabbits, as we call them — although they're actually hares — have been an important food source that has helped feed many rural families in lean times. There's a common presumption that rabbit is nutritionally useless: zero protein, you'd starve eating it. This is simply not true. Rabbit is higher in protein than chicken.
So, where did this starvation notion come from? If you dig deep enough you'll find that most myths have some basis in truth. The problem is with the misinterpretation of the facts. I'll tell you all about this another day, along with some of my favourite rabbit recipes. Eating rabbit at least once a week sustained me through university.
I spoke of our rabbit-catching tradition. I think this is especially true in central Newfoundland. I remember from my Rothermere House college days, the students I knew from Gander and Grand Falls frequently chatted about days spent rabbit slipping with their dads. I wonder, is that still true?
I lived in the Airport Town in the early 1970s; my father was construction supervisor for the building of the Frazer Mall and the Gander Arts and Recreation Centre.
I remember him talking fondly about several labourers from the Gander Bay area, hard-working, salt-of-the-earth sort of men. They would quit their jobs in November to go into the woods rabbit catching. My father permitted this and would hire them back right after Christmas.
I think Dad understood them, being an outdoorsman himself. In fact, I think he was jealous. A full month in a backwoods cabin tending a line of snares, walking on the first snow, seeing fresh moose tracks at daybreak — what more could a man or woman ask for?
I started rabbit catching at about 12 years old, by the side of Gander Lake, after school in early fall. It got dark too early later in the season.
When I moved back home to Spaniard's Bay, I kept it up, putting out my snares in early October just around the time blueberry picking ended. At about 15, I got really serious about my rabbit catching, walking miles into the woods with long snare lines and tending them until the snows came.
A vivid memory often arises from far back in my mind. We were typical 15-year-old boys (by 1970 standards, at least) who took some degree of pleasure in doing things our parents would certainly not approve of. That included the puffing of tobacco, Players and Export A to be specific.
Three of us had walked the then gravel road from Tilton to Peter's Path very early on a Saturday morning. It was the opening of rabbit season and Tony, Guy and I were going to set out a long line of snares, maybe all the way to Spider Pond.
We were at the edge of the woods long before daylight. We sat on a huge, round boulder under a moonless but starry sky. I pulled out a fresh pack of Export A, our illicit delight for the day, along with hot tea, and my mother's dried caplin. If she only knew I was smoking cigarettes in the woods. She would have burned my long johns, boots and hunting sack.
Anyway, we lit up on the rock, in the total darkness before dawn, each of our smokes glowing blood red. I can't remember what we talked about — school, growing up, price of blueberries, girls — the memory is lost in the mist of time. But the image of the three of us smoking on that rock is burnt into my brain.
The rock is still there; I see it on the way to my cabin, and sometimes it makes me smile. We were cooler than the Fonz.
Nowadays, I don't do near as much rabbit snaring as I'd like. I'm planning to do a lot more when I retire from my day job in two years. Maybe I'll spend November at the cabin, tending snares, like the boys from Gander Bay.
I still build a few rabbit gardens in winter, but lack of snow has been messing that up in recent years. I do shoot quite a few hares with my .22 lever action, at least enough for my pot.
A couple of years ago, I did make an effort to run a rabbit line of about 80 snares, tended it all November month with my buddy, Matt Brazil. I noticed that we were losing lots of our rabbits through snares breaking. That's most disconcerting because those hares, with a wire noose tightened around their necks, will no doubt perish.
We were using six-strand picture cord, one of only two types now permitted for snaring rabbits on the island portion of our province. The other allowable snare wire is 22-gauge solid brass. They say that it is critical to use high-quality brass, and there is a big difference from brand to brand. Wildlife officials say that the best brands are Corfil and Trailmarker. I did not know this, and I will be field testing both brands this winter.
These regulations were established in 2008, the purpose being to stop accidental snaring of pine marten, a species that has fallen on very rough times. A pine marten will break this regulation wire and survive, 90 per cent of the time. At least that's what it says in the guide.
It also says that it will retain rabbits 75 per cent of the time, which may be true if you do everything just right. I think Matt and I were losing close to half our rabbits. Maybe we would have fared better with the best-quality brass. The wire we were using may have been old stock. I just don't know.
We set our snares the same as we always did and never before did either of us experience such a problem with breakage.
One issue looms predominately here: why bother with weaker snares in areas where there are no pine marten? Folks at wildlife respond by saying that there are no boundaries on an expanding population of these recovering critters. That's true, but who has seen a pine martin on the Avalon Peninsula, for instance?
They say they also consider the issue of pets. Maybe, but absolutely no snares should be set where people let their pets play. And steel traps are permitted for fox, coyotes and whatever else. Probably it's just logistically too complicated to manage different zones under specific regulations.
I do understand the pine marten issue and support it, but I'm not sure if we need to use lesser wire everywhere in the province. Is a 25 per cent breakage of rabbit snares acceptable, or even realistic with the prescribed wire?
What type and brand of wire are you using and is it functioning adequately? I'm hoping to learn more about this issue both from my own research and emails from readers. What are your thoughts on the subject? Let me know. I'll be writing more on this in the coming weeks.

Sponsorship Programme for the Testing of Manufactured Nanomaterials
OECD's Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPMN) launched a Sponsorship Programme in November 2007. The programme involves OECD member countries, as well as some non-member economies and other stakeholders to pool expertise and to fund the safety testing of specific Manufactured Nanomaterials (MNs). In launching this Sponsorship Programme, the WPMN agreed on a priority list of 13 MNs for testing (based on materials which are in, or close to, commerce). They also agreed a list of endpoints for which they should be tested. Much valuable information on the safety of MNs can be derived by testing a representative set for human health and environmental safety.
Framework and outcomes of the Sponsorship Programme
There are three levels of participation by stakeholders to the sponsorship programme:
Lead Sponsors, Co-Sponsors together with Contributors are preparing "Dossier Development Plans" (DDPs) for the testing of each listed nanomaterial. These DDPs will outline the specific plan for the testing of each nanomaterial including when and where the testing will be undertaken and by whom. The DDPs will also include information on the materials to be tested as well as information on sample preparation and dosimetry.
The Sponsorship Programme aims to test nanomaterials which are already in use or will be soon, including fullerenes (also known as "bucky balls"), single-wall (SWCNTs) and multi-wall (MWCNTs) carbon nanotubes. These key nanomaterials will be tested for their physical-chemical properties, environmental degradation and accumulation, environmental toxicology, and mammalian toxicology.
The outcomes of this Sponsorship Programme will provide useful information on the "intrinsic properties" of nanomaterials, that is, on properties of nanomaterials which are unique to the nanoscale dimension of these materials. Understanding intrinsic properties of nanomaterials is crucial to choose existing, adapt or create appropriate risk evaluation and management strategies.

Main Street USA Since the Saxophone Quartet literature is somewhat limited and is not well known, the New Century Saxophone Quartet often turns to arrangements in order to round-out their repertoire. Usually this means works written before the Saxophones invention in the 1840s by the Belgian inventor Adolphe Sax. With the more frequent use of the Saxophone in the 20th Century, especially in America, it was natural for me to turn to three of my most admired composers: Morton Gould, George Gershwin, and Leonard Bernstein. Another logical reason for choosing these three was that they all used Saxophones in their compositions - including those on this disc. West Side Story is scored for the entire modern Saxophone family: Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone and Bass! The music chosen also satisfies a request of NCSQ fans - that we perform some music they know with tunes that continue to play in their heads long after the concert is over. Most often one hears Hollywood or jazzed-up versions of the music on this disc. In contrast, I set out not to merely reduce these works for Saxophone quartet, but also to preserve the original flavor and feel of the music. This turned out to be quite a challenge, not only for me as arranger, but for the performers as well. To retain an orchestral quality and to cover all of the parts, the individual instruments are stretched well beyond their usual quartet roles. Additionally, each performer is required to play beyond what has been the standard range of their instruments both in pitch and sensitivity. An added but welcome intricacy was the use of percussion. The percussionist does not comp, but plays from a part which closely follows the style of the original music and is integral to the arrangements. Written in 1938 for a radio series he was conducting, the Pavana is the middle movement from Morton Goulds American Symphonette No.2 and is probably his best-known work. Mr. Gould told me that, "At the time words like dinette and kitchenette were being used so I called my little symphony a symphonette." This arrangement was one of the first that I did for this disc and has become a favorite of NCSQ audiences. The Main Street Waltz and Main Street March were suggested to me by Mr. Gould to compliment his Pavane and are from the film World War I. The Waltz depicts a prewar, peaceful America, with cars and a happy-go-lucky public filling the streets. The joining of the soprano Saxophone with the glockenspiel results in a wonderfully light and cheerful feel. Complete with a street parades cymbals and drums, the rousing March portrays America preparing to enter the conflict; albeit with naivete about the true horrors of the war. Fragments of Over There optimistically appear throughout the March. Although Mr. Gould heard New Century perform the Pavane, we did not have the opportunity to play the other two for him before his death on February 21, 1996. As his Pulitzer Prize and the music recorded here attests, he certainly achieved his goal that "a composer should have something to say to even a taxicab driver." We title this CD Main Street USA in tribute to Mortons dedication to American music. Straight from Tin-Pan Alley, George Gershwins seldom heard Three-Quarter Blues and Merry Andrew were written in the 1920s. In the Blues, also known as the Irish Waltz, the vibraphone can be heard which, with the Saxophones, creates a beautiful shimmering effect. One cant help bouncing along with Merry Andrew which was used as a dance number in the 1928 show Rosalie. Promenade was composed in 1936, just two years before Goulds Pavane, and may be familiar to Astaire-Rogers fans as Walking the Dog from Shall We Dance - one of Gershwins last Hollywood films and the last he was to see before his early death. Porgy and Bess is without a doubt Gershwins most monumental work and I, like many others, have long been attracted to the numerous wonderful songs to come from this opera. While performing some of the opera on Kiawah Island (Kittiwah in the opera) and in Charleston, South Carolina, the desire to play this music more often heightened; and so I began to set some of my favorite songs for the New Century Saxophone Quartet. As I began arranging I couldnt help visualizing the scenes from the opera. One can sense the calm following the storm in Clara, Clara. Rarely heard outside the opera it is a song of mourning for Clara who is feared lost in a hurricane. Porgys nonchalant song Oh, I Got Plenty O Nuttin gleefully concludes with, "Got my gal, got my Lawd, got my song!" One of the most tender love duets written, Bess, You is My Woman Now is full of heartfelt romance; here sung by the tenor and soprano Saxophones. Although my stay near Catfish Row came 50 years after Gershwins, I can nevertheless picture the residents gaily singing, Oh, I Cant Sit Down, on their way to picnic on Kittiwah Island. The merry-making is interrupted by Sporting Life, a dope dealer, who taunts with It Aint Necessarily So ("De tings dat yo lible to read in de Bible"), which is sort of a repeat-after-me type of sermon. One would be remiss for omitting Summertime from a collection of Porgy and Bess songs. It was difficult for me to give up the idea of playing this nostalgic lullaby myself, but the obvious choice was the soprano; the voice which Gershwin had intended it for. It still amazes me that he could put so much of the Charleston atmosphere in such a short song; which by the way has no bridge or B section. One can almost feel the sticky, tropical heat of a lazy summer evening on the South Carolina waterfront. With the help of a little happy dust, the dope dealer has convinced Bess to go away with him and happily sings Theres A Boat Dats Leavin For New York. When Porgy discovers that Bess has gone to New York he asks, "Where dat?". "Its way up North pas de custom house." Porgy orders his goat cart and drives off singing Oh Lawd, Im On My Way which concludes with music from Bess, You Is My Woman Now. As with the other music on this CD, West Side Story is also a signature piece and is Leonard Bernsteins most famous work. When I heard Bernsteins 1985 recording I felt that I had finally heard this music as he had written it. And why not, with the maestro himself conducting! And so with the recording and the newly released score firmly in hand, I began on what became my most demanding task. Using the Symphonic Dances from West Side Story for orchestra as a guide, I set out to create a complete chamber music version for Saxophones and percussion without those cumbersome transitions so often found in medleys. Beginning with I Feel Pretty, which opens Act II, the use of many of the auxiliary percussion instruments can be heard. Included are tambourine, castanets, triangle and glockenspiel. While they are used sparingly, they really add a light and pretty touch. After a short introduction, the Balcony Scene begins with Maria which is shared by all of the Saxophones and then goes on to Tonight. A slower, more tender version of Tonight follows with the melody played in turn by tenor, soprano, and alto while the vibraphone plays underneath resembling the strings in an orchestra. A dance version of Maria is next in Cha-Cha which segues into the Meeting Scene; a slower version of the same tune. The tenor Saxophone ominously takes over and transitions to a Paso Doble which is interrupted (watch out for the police whistle!) by Jump, the jazziest of the dance numbers with its out of sync bass line. The beautiful love duet One Hand, One Heart is scored, like the original, for tenor and soprano. The homogeneous sound of the Saxophone quartet is enhanced here by the addition of the vibraphone which blends very nicely; almost like another Saxophone! To bring some lighthearted fun to this collection I couldnt do without Gee, Officer Krupke. WARNING - Listener beware of Krupkes police whistle! Although the NCSQ often uses Krupke as an encore in concert, we felt it belonged in its rightful place for this recording. The Scherzo is from the dream scene in the Ballet Sequence where there is a lack of gangs and hostility. The light use of the Saxophones and the glockenspiel provide the dreamy landscape which is eventually shattered by the triangle, which like an alarm clock, brings us rudely back to reality. Like Summertime earlier, I could not leave out Somewhere which segues from the Scherzo. Unlike the Gershwin song, I did keep most of Somewhere for myself - after all, Bernstein scored it for mezzo! The vibraphone is used to play the obligato piano part from the original to great effect. An interesting Saxophonistic note Id like to mention concerns the final bars. While the upper voices play a high flute-like role, the baritone alternates between a pitch that is above the keyed range of the instrument and one that is nearly at the bottom of its range. This is a bit unusual and very demanding. These last three measures are among the most difficult which I inflicted upon the ensemble. While the timpani intones a death knell, the upper voices remind us that theres still"...a place for us. Somehow, Some day, Somewhere!" James Boatman Winston-Salem N.C. USA

"I remember, I remember The house where I was born; The little window where the sun Came peeping in at morn. It never came a wink too soon, Nor brought too long a day, But now I often wish the night Had borne my breath away."
WHEN next the sun comes peeping through my little dim‐paned window, he will find no Nelly Lestrange to greet him. He will miss the girl whom he has watched grow up from a little toddling pinafored child, to a fair, tall, comely woman—will miss the happy, foolish innocent face that has smiled back to him across the hay‐field, on so many dewy June mornings. Nelly Lestrange, with her light heart, her tumbledown Spanish castles, and her silly little tender jokes, has gone away, not from that room only, but from the world.page: 178
They buried her yesterday in that dull chamber, where Death is holding his carnival among the Lestranges, and have left only a very heavy‐hearted Nell Lancaster in her stead.
Before, when my old man had gone away from me, though he was beyond the reach of my fond arms, beyond the province of the eye and the ear, I could yet picture him to myself amongst familiar human surroundings; could imagine him sitting and walking, making his kindly jests, and talking his clever pointed talk; now the vagueness and the doubt rebuffed me.
So far as I had gone with him, he had had a good journey, thank God! for he had parted from me smiling; but alas! that was but a very little way on. I could but take him to the great gates, and send him out into the night, and stand peering with eager aching eyes after him, as he went forth into the blackness alone.
It is afternoon, and, but for the servants, I am alone in the house. Hugh is gone over to Wentworth, whence he is to return later to fetch me, and Dolly is gone. Dolly has been very busy all the morning, going about the house, and picking up a little bit of china here, and a little bit of plate there. She has no particular right to page: 180 them, although she says very feelingly, that 'poor dear papa' gave them to her, and so of course she cannot bear the idea of their being put up to sale for any dreadful common creatures; but when a house is in the confusion attendant upon an owner lately dead, a little petty larceny is excusable, almost laudable.
Half an hour ago, she set off on a long visit to some of her numerous friends; she made a very pretty exit, crying a little, but not enough to disfigure herself at the railway station, and shaking hands with all the servants. I have cried myself into a state of semi‐insensibility; my head is resting on the counterpane, and my lock of hair is lying in silver paper on my lap, when the door opens, and Mrs. Smith says, very gently, "If you please, my lady, Sir Hugh's come back."
If I had thought about it, I should have recollected that there was nobody but myself in the room; but somehow it never occurred to me to take the unfamiliar appellation to myself. Mrs. Smith comes a little further into the room, and repeats a tone or two louder.page: 181
"If you please, my lady, Sir Hugh's come and would like to speak to you," I stare up at her, dully scared for a minute; then jump up, throw my arms about the old woman's neck, and lay my head on her kindly bosom.
"Don't call me that!" I say whispering; "don't! I hate it; call me Miss Nell always; do you mind?" Mrs. Smith kisses my swollen face, and strokes my disordered hair; it was homely, but very lovingly done, as Sir Thomas More said of the maid Dorothy Collis, who embraced him as he went to execution.
"I'll call you what you like, my dear, in course; but indeed—indeed you should not take on so; it's not right, it is not indeed; it was the Almighty's will as he was took," she says very shakily, "and, oh dear! he has been worritted a deal, poor gentleman; I don't think you had oughter wish him back!"
"I don't! I don't!" I cry, sobbing hysterically; "I'm not so cruel! do you think I'm a fiend; but I only wish they'd page: 182 —let me—let me—go to him; it's not wicked to say that is it?"
"Not a bit wicked!" says Mrs. Smith, soothingly, "and so you will in the Lord's good time; so we all shall, I 'ope; and for my part so as we was prepared, I don't much care how soon." Hugh, manlike, is getting impatient. I hear him calling
"Nell! Nell!"
It is not the same voice that was wont to come ringing up these stairs; it is a younger, stronger, commoner one; the contrast comes coldly home to my heart.
"I don't want to see him," I say; pitifully to Mrs. Smith, and speaking as if I had a very bad cold in my head; "go and ask him to give me half an hour more."
Mrs. Smith looks mild disapprobation.
"Nay, my dear, I don't think you had oughter keep him waiting; he's your 'usband, you know, and he raly is as good a gentleman as ever trod shoe‐leather; we cannot expect everybody to be like them as is gone."page: 183
I have been rather meek and biddable from my youth up, so I go. Hugh is standing at the foot of the stairs, whistling very softly to himself; it is almost as inveterate a habit with him, as with Mr. Chick.
"What a figure you have made of yourself, you poor little girl!" he says, surveying rather ruefully, the purple‐eyed, red‐nosed, hollow‐cheeked prize that he has acquired.
"I cannot help it!" I say, doggedly. "Do you want me? Mrs. Smith said you did."
"I'd walk on my head from here to Wentworth, if it would do you any good," he says, disregarding my question, and looking sympathetic, as a really good‐natured man would in the presence of a grief which it was equally beyond his power to measure or assuage; "but you really ought not to fret like this, you'll be laid up, and you know it's—it's Godalmighty'swill."
Hugh is very shy of pronouncing his Creator's name, and now does it with a page: 184 jerk, running the three words into one very rapidly. I don't feel much consoled by the information, and go and sit down listlessly, on the end of the servant's prayer bench. I have eaten nothing all day, and am as weak as a cat.
"What time will you be ready to start?" asks Hugh, seeing that his theological gun has missed fire.
"Oh, must we go yet?" I cry, clasping my hands in despair, "I wanted to bid good‐bye to all the old place!"
Hugh looks down and pulls his grizzling moustache.
"The days are so short, you see," he says "and it takes two hours to get there; I don't want to bring the horses in hot; and mother will be getting anxious if we are not back by dinner time!"
"How soon then?" I ask, giving up the point as I would give up any point to‐day.
"Well, as soon as you can pop on your bonnet then. I'll go to the stables and tell him to put the horses to; they're uncommon likely to take cold if they stay there long, for it's as damp as a—" page: 185 Vault, he was going to say, but it occurred to him, that, under the circumstances, it might sound unfeeling.
I rise and move towards the stairs again, dragging my legs after me.
"Oh, by‐the‐by, Nell, which would you like to go in? the brougham or the double dog‐cart—they are both here?"
"Oh not the dog‐cart!" I say with an involuntary gesture of disgust.
"Why? it is not cold!"
"It reminds me of that dreadful day," I say without thinking. (I somehow attribute all my ills to that day.) I was enough to try the patience of the ten best husbands in Britain, wasn't I? but then I was so miserable.
Sir Hugh's kind, good‐natured face clouds a little.
"Those were not the same pair," he says, "and the cart cannot run away of itself."
He does not relish the idea of a fourteen mile drive in a stuffy close carriage, with a crying woman; even though she is his bride.page: 186
"As you wish," I say indifferently, "it's all one to me."
So the dog‐cart it is, and into it I get; a limp, nerveless figure, on which a great deal of crape is hung, and over whose face a crape veil falls black and thick as a December night. There has been one of those rapid changes in the weather, which are common in our climate, so rich in unpleasant surprises. The snow is all melted out of the sky, and the bitter wind has whistled and moaned itself away to some other quarter of the earth. The air is as warm as April, and the atmosphere that of a vapour bath.
A dank blue mist hangs over the church‐yard. It is not raining, and yet the tombstones are all streaming with wet, and great drops hang from the old ash's naked boughs. I strain my neck back as long as the dim gray tower, and the great dripping yews are in sight.
"Good‐bye old dad!" I say to myself over and over again, "good‐bye," and then I cry under my veil, bitterlier than ever.
For the first five miles Hugh leaves me page: 187 pretty much to my own devices; does not bring God‐Almighty's‐will to bear on me again; he makes several remarks of a friendly nature to his horses, urging them to steadiness of conduct, and throws out an inquiry or two as to the mode of their entertainment at Lestrange to the groom.
But he holds his tongue as far as the veiled statue beside him is concerned.
"That's right, old woman!" says my husband kindly; "cheer up! what's done cannot be undone; but things are never so bad in this world that they might not be worse."
The near horse shies; the arm is withdrawn, "Steady old boy! steady!"
It is very unwifely of me, but I feel inclined to say Ta to that timid quadruped.
"I suppose, Nell," says Hugh—he thinks that now that the ice is broken, a little cheerful conversation will be highly salutary for me—"I suppose, Nell, that poor Dolly has got to her journey's end by now."
"I suppose so."
"How long is she going to stay there? do you know?"
"What is she going to do with herself afterwards?"
"I don't know." (My tone said 'I don't care either.')
"Poor girl! it's very sad for her not page: 189 having a hole or corner to put her head in!"
"She has lots of friends."
"Oh, ay! friends very likely; and people are very glad to have a girl with them for a month, or two even; but one cannot live on one's friends; that was what she was saying to me this morning. We had a long talk before she went; I don't think I ever was so sorry for any one in my life."
(The objects of compassion which Hugh meets whene'er he takes his walks abroad are few apparently.)
"Did she tell you what her plans were?"
"Well, no! I don't think she had made up her mind; she came to ask my advice, poor thing! and she seemed so cut up too, about this—this—affair," says Hugh, rather at a loss for an expression, and jerking his head vaguely in the direction of my father's death.
"Awfully!" I say, ironically; "I don't suppose she'll ever get over it." Hugh does not heed my sneer. When once he is off on a train of thought, he runs along page: 190 it like a mad dog; turning neither to the right nor to the left.
"Do you know what my advice was, Nell? I suppose I ought to have asked you first, but I felt sure of not meeting with much opposition from you—the old lady is the only difficulty; she is so ratchetty now and then, and always hates new faces, too!"
"What was your advice?" I ask, startled.
"Why to come and keep house with us, till she marries—that'll be sure not to be long first!"
"Oh!" say I, blankly, and my tone is not exultant. Hugh was right just now; there is no state of things so bad but that it may not be worse.
"Seems such a natural arrangement! own sister!—parents dead!—no home!" says Hugh, becoming ejaculatory, and not quite so certain of my approbation as he was five minutes ago.
"It was very kind of you," I say, gently.
I feel that I am receiving what he in‐ intended page: 191 tended as a pleasant surprise for me, rather ungraciously.
"Oh, no! not at all! she is a great ally of mine; she has always been a good friend to me, even in the days when you used to snub me, Nell!"
"Of course, I don't mean to say that my principle motive in asking her, was not that I thought you would be pleased to have such a nice companion, and one that you have been used to all your life too; mother is all very well in her way, of course—I don't mean to say a word against her—but I should not think that you and she would be likely to have many ideas in common, and of course I cannot be with you all day; there's the farm, you know, and hunting five days a week, and—and—" says poor Hugh, rather discomfited at the ill‐success of his little benevolent scheme, and trying to make out the best case he can for himself.
"It was very good of you!" I say again very gratefully; "and what answer did she make?"page: 192
Hugh looks rather foolish.
"Oh, poor girl! why I really think she hardly knew what she was doing; she cried and wanted to go down on her knees to thank me, only of course I could not stand that;" (wretched as I am, I laugh grimly to myself, as I picture the little tableau—Dolly going gracefully down on her knees, and poor Hugh in dire confusion hauling her up again; I think if she had reflected that it would in all probability go back to me, she would have refrained from that little bit of melodrama) "and that of course it was a great boon to a poor homeless girl like her, and that she dare say'd she should not trouble us long. I don't know what she meant by that, I'm sure, unless she has got somebody in her eye—and—and that she'd come, I suppose!"
I say "Oh!" again, and the subject drops.
I feel that it would seem unnatural in me to object, and I could as soon fly in the air as express any elation at the intelligence. My legs feel very stiff, and I am page: 193 weary, as Hugh lifts me down at Wentworth Hall door.
Last time I saw that door, Dick was leaning against it—I don't even think of Dick to‐day somehow. I follow Hugh into the library, where lights are blazing and the curtains are drawn, and a tall old lady in black—she has put on complimentary mourning—receives me in her arms, and kissing me, says with prim stateliness, but very kindly withal, "Welcome home, my dear daughter!"
Alas! she is the only person whose daughter I am now.

Toward the end of Respect: A Musical Journey (at the Stuart Street Playhouse indefinitely), a revue bringing together some four dozen female-associated pop oldies, comes the big moment that's supposed to represent American womanhood shaking off its shackles and stepping bravely into the future. And the song that accompanies this moment? Charlene's 1982 hit "I've Never Been to Me," widely considered one of the sappiest songs ever written.
Fortunately, Aimee Collier — one of three excellent performers on stage — makes the song bearable, if not quite anthemic. But that's Respect in a nutshell: as a "musical journey" it goes nowhere, tracing a century of women's lives and music with all the depth of a Virginia Slims commercial. Performers Collier, Kareema M. Castro, and Tiana Cheechia make it a perfectly good evening of cabaret if you tune out the narration.
That can be a chore since the author, former Vanderbilt University professor Dorothy Marcic, isn't content to make the point that women have sung a lot of great songs, give or take a Charlene number. Instead she employs an on-stage narrator (Kathy St. George) to deliver a running monologue that combines Marcic's personal history (by all appearances numbingly conventional) with the social history of American women since 1900, with the civil-rights movement thrown in for good measure. The story is told in broad strokes, with feel-good howlers like "Rosa Parks was tired on that bus, all right — tired of oppression!" And the narrator's journey ends when she decides to work part-time and watch her daughter grow, a noble goal but not the stuff of which riveting theater is made.
Although most of the song choices are better than the Charlene turkey, most are obvious enough to further this Cliffs Notes of musical feminism. Icons like Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, and Janis Joplin are hauled out; "I Will Survive" and "I Am Woman" show up exactly when you'd expect them to. Notably missing are the many performers — Marlene Dietrich, Laura Nyro, Patti Smith, even Madonna — who put a twist on female identity. For that matter, there's so much griping about what heels men are that it's surprising the show doesn't close with a medley of k.d. lang and Ani DiFranco songs.
It's no small feat to put emotional substance into this kind of revue, but the singers manage it. Collier gets saddled with a tragic monologue about a '50s girl who gives in to her boyfriend's pleas to (shudder) have sex but comes back strong with "Piece of My Heart," which she delivers in her own voice instead of aping Joplin's. Castro does well on the soul belters; she's better still on the slow burn of "God Bless the Child."
But it's Cheechia who shows the greatest range. In the first act she's given the sweet and innocent roles, including a charming turn as Betty Boop and a comic (but not over-campy) take on Vikki Carr's lovelorn "It Must Be Him." Later she gets more suggestion out of "These Boots Are Made for Walking" than the script wants her to. By embodying so many personalities, Cheechia reminds us there's more variation in female pop, not to mention American womanhood, than the script lets on.

This was a pretty funny moment from early this morning. I figured I'd share it with you all as a little Christmas present from me. The following video is a clip from the Senate's Roll Call vote on the health care bill (H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act). I wasn't able to set the start time for the clip, so skip ahead to 25:30 (and if that's not working, the video is also here: http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/290899-1).
Apparently Mr. Reid was running on not quite enough sleep there.
The vote ended up being 60-39 (with all Democrats voting AYE, all of the Republicans voting NO, and Jim Bunning (R-KY) not voting).
While I personally would've voted against the bill, I don't think this bill was all that bad considering other possibilities the Senate was looking at, but I really don't feel like getting into the politics of the bill on Christmas Eve (I'll save that for when the House and Senate come together to iron out a bill that both chambers agree on).
I just wanted to give everybody a little laugh, and wish everybody a very merry and safe Christmas!
God bless all of you and your families! If you celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas! If you don't, Happy Holidays!
I wish everybody a safe weekend.

Bicycling has become one of the most popular sports in Israel in recent years. Israelis and tourists from all over the world enjoy the view, are exposed to the biking culture and participate in the experience of sport and nature.
Everywhere in Israel, on roads, on level paths, in the mountains or desert, groups of bikers are visible in colorful outfits, heads helmeted as they pedal with all their might, sweating, panting and happy.
Biking offers the opportunity for athletic activity that makes one feel good while enjoying nature and its exhilarating views. Israel's bike paths offer a place for travelers to explore the country's secrets. The bicycle is a wonderful means to become intimately acquainted with Israel's many tourist attractions, nature reserves, forests and charming spots.
One can rent bicycles in many nature reserves and beauty spots and set off for the open spaces, at nature's slower, calmer pace. Most bike routes offer a meeting with nature's serenity and the surroundings, with convenient level paths, but those seeking challenge can find the adrenalin rush of various types of terrain and enjoy paths of varying difficulty to satisfy any craving.
Biking attracts a wide range of ages: children and their parents, grandparents and grandchildren, young and old alike can enjoy riding in the fresh air. It can be enjoyed alone or in groups, and the biking experience can be short and sweet or evolve into a longer journey in special, magical territory with professional guides. Come meet the power of nature, its beauty and charm, and take a few hours to ride just for the joy of it, alone with nature.

Updated on 10 December 2013
BCC Research reported that the treatment cost for fungal infections was USD 3 billion worldwide in 2010 and this is expected to increase to USD 6 billion in 2014
Singapore: Researchers at Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) and California's IBM Research Almaden have discovered a new, potentially life-saving application for polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a compound which is widely used to make plastic bottles.
They have successfully converted PET into a non-toxic biocompatible material with superior fungal killing properties. As reported in Nature Communications, their new material proved particularly effective in destroying drug-resistant fungi and fungal biofilm, displaying great potential as an antifungal agent to prevent and treat topical fungus-induced diseases such as skin infections and keratitis.
IBN executive director, Professor Jackie Y Ying, shared that, "A key focus of IBN's nanomedicine research efforts is the development of novel polymers and materials for more effective treatment and prevention of various diseases.
Our latest breakthrough with IBM allows us to specifically target and eradicate drug-resistant and drug-sensitive fungi strains and fungal biofilms, without harming surrounding healthy cells. We hope to eventually apply this technology clinically to help the large number of patients worldwide who suffer from fungal infections."
In recent years, the number of opportunistic fungal infections has increased due to the growing populations of patients with weakened immune systems, for example due to cancer, organ transplant or HIV/AIDS. In such patients, invasive infections caused by Candida, Aspergillus and Cryptococcus neoformans fungi strains may take the form of potentially lethal blood stream infections, lung infections and meningitis. Candida, for example, causes candidiasis, which is the fourth most common fungal blood stream infection among hospitalized patients in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.
