Pitfalls in the development of generic attributes in undergraduate students
Watters, James J. (2000) Pitfalls in the development of generic attributes in undergraduate students. In Appleton, K., MacPherson, C., & Orr, D. (Eds.) Lifelong Learning Conference: Inaugural International Lifelong Learning Conference, Yeppoon., 16-19 July, Yeppoon, Central Queensland, Australia.
The role of universities has always been a hotly contested issue. What does society expect of institutions of higher learning? The conceptual foundations of traditional disciplines are changing so rapidly that knowledge is refuted and revised before it reaches the printed press. A response to this situation advocates a refocusing on the more process-oriented knowledge elements that involve higher order thinking, communication, affect and developing capabilities that people will need to possess to cope with work and leisure in an information society. Are and can these knowledge components be learnt in universities? This paper explores how students might engage in learning experiences that enable development of discipline specific generic capabilities and lifelong learning. The study reports on two case studies of undergraduate teaching contexts that purported to develop generic attributes in undergraduate students. Data collection involved classroom observations, interviews, and surveys with students and lecturers. The outcomes have been analysed in terms of the types of instructional practices that need to be undertaken to ensure that initiatives do actually impact on the more global skills identified as generic attributes. Of particular significance in the results was the role that lecturers need to play in developing student awareness of the importance of generic attributes and facilitating the development of these attributes.

Narrative of military operations directed during the late War Between the… (1959)
by Joseph E. Johnston
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Although a rather dry read of his actions during the war, what you really get a feel for is how such a Petty Argument between two leaders in the south might have cost them the war. When Davis raised up men to the newest rank of Full General he was supposed to promote them depending on their time in the Union Army. This would have made Johnston the 2nd most senior Full General only behind little known Samuel Cooper. Instead Jonston found himself senior only to PGT Beaurgaurd. Their disputes would time and again cost the CSA dearly.
This was very disappointing. Most of the content was used to defend his positions during the war. He and Jefferson Davis had a real hatred for each other and whenever Joe Johnston found out about some publication that tainted his reputation he defended himself almost to the point of childishness. His time would have been better spent in recording history. Instead his approach has caused a great injustice by him not documenting the real stories which are only glossed over in his narrative.

Wi-Lan Jumps Most Since 2011 After Samsung Deal: Toronto Mover
Wi-Lan Inc. (WIN), a Canadian owner of patents for wireless products, rose the most in more than two years after renewing a deal with Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) for technology used in the South Korean smartphone maker's devices.
Wi-Lan jumped 11 percent to C$4.71 at the close in Toronto, the biggest one-day gain since May 2011. The stock has risen 4 percent this year.
The agreement covers long-term licensing for mobile phones, tablets, laptops and networking equipment, the Ottawa-based company said in a statement today. The deal adds "significantly greater patent scope," Wi-Lan said, without specifying the terms or the length of the license.
With the Samsung deal, Wi-Lan is riding the popularity of phones like the Galaxy S series, which rival Apple Inc. (AAPL)'s iPhone in popularity. Suwon, South Korea-based Samsung is the biggest phonemaker to use Google Inc.'s Android operating system, which accounted for 75 percent of the global smartphone market in the first quarter of this year, according to IDC.

its called a gran coupe. Similar to a 6 series gran coupe, BMW X6 or the new 4 series gran coupe coming out. Its basically a 4 dr hatch with the body lines of a coupe. So you will have less head room in the rear and truck space but will have more sporty looks due to the more aggressive lines. Its been a sales success for the luxury market.
I'm not sure if it would do well for the subaru demographic since subaru drivers tends to value utility, reliability and resale value over looks.
It might be there attempt to bring in new type of buyers for the brand.

Some pictures I just snapped of my 1988 325, haven't done much to it in the past few years. Originally purchased her in 2006 did a lot of maintenance work and some upgrades. Drove it a lot, drove it from Massachusetts to California, then moved to Hawaii where she was my daily driver. Car has been great to own. Now I'm back in California and not deployed as much so I'm getting the itch to take her further...spent the weekend cleaning her and took some pictures.

It was in the 69th minute of the USA's game in Mexico City's Azteca Stadium in 1997 that the Americans pulled it off. They got the Mexican fans, who numbered 114,000, to turn on their own team.
The Steve Sampson-coached Americans lost defender Jeff Agoos in the 32nd minute to a red card from Argentine referee Javier "The Sheriff" Castrilli for elbowing Pavel Pardo. But the Mexicans could not take advantage.
And late in the second half the Mexican fans began jeering El Tri - not even sparing the popular goalkeeper Jorge Campos when he picked up the ball. They shouted for the ouster of Coach Bora Milutinovic.
When Castrilli awarded Mexico a throw-in after the Americans appealed it was theirs, they booed The Sheriff. And they chanted "Ole!" to each U.S. pass.
The game ended in a 0-0 tie, the best result ever for the USA in Mexico City, where the USA has lost all its other 19 games against El Tri dating back to 1937.
The USA and Mexico, which also tied on U.S. soil before the Azteca draw, both qualified for the 1998 World Cup. In the next two qualifying campaigns, with Bruce Arena as U.S. coach, the Concacaf region's two giants each won their home games against the other and both qualified.
This time around, as the USA aims to reach the World Cup a sixth straight time, it begins the final round of qualifying by hosting Mexico Feb. 11 in Columbus, Ohio.
For sure, opening in the USA has to be the worst-case scenario for the Mexicans, who have recently been in poor form. In the semifinal round, Mexico went winless in its last three games and only advanced to the Hexagonal ahead of Jamaica thanks to goal difference. And Mexico is winless - eight losses and two ties - at the USA since 2000.
There's something about facing the USA north of the border that frays the Mexican players' nerves. Perhaps the prospect of losing to the nation with which it shares a 2,000-mile border - and where more than 20 million people of Mexican descent reside - drains their confidence.
How else to explain that, in 2007, Mexico lost to the USA, 2-1, in Chicago in the Gold Cup final, then three days later defeated Brazil, 2-0, in Venezuela at the Copa America, which Brazil ended up winning?
It's why psychologists have gone on Mexican TV to discuss the failings of the Mexican mentality when the national team faces the USA.
Besides having to travel to Ohio to start the Hexagonal, the Mexicans are also hurt by how the draw placed their home game against the Americans. They host on Aug. 12, which is a Wednesday. In the past, Mexico has welcomed the Americans on Sundays, when they can play at noon, in the midday sun.
The fact that more Mexican players than ever are playing in Europe - El Tri fielded as many as eight European-based players in the semifinal round - has actually become a handicap. Fielding mainly domestic players in the past enabled El Tri to hold lengthy training camps with a full squad.
The foreign-based players will be late arrivals for Mexico's home game. And flying in from Europe means their adjustment to playing at altitude will be just as challenging as it is for their opponents.
Only once has Mexico lost a World Cup qualifier at Azteca, in 2001 when Costa Rica won, 2-1. The time is ripe for a first-ever U.S. victory at Azteca.
Regardless of the results between the two archrivals, they'll both get to South Africa. Of the Hexagonal teams, three qualify automatically, and the fourth-place team faces South America's No. 5 for a spot.
In the last three qualifying campaigns, the USA has clinched a spot before their last Hexagonal game. It qualified for Germany 2006 with three games left.
For however much U.S. players and coaches like to talk about how difficult it is to play on the road against Central American and Caribbean opponents - invoking bad fields and hostile crowds - it ain't that tough.
Including the earlier rounds of 2010 qualifying, the USA has traveled to 11 Concacaf countries in World Cup qualifying this decade. Not including games after which it had already clinched passage into the next round or the World Cup itself, the USA has lost only to Mexico and Costa Rica. And at home, the USA has lost only once over the last two decades, covering 30 World Cup qualifying games.
After its Feb. 11 game against Mexico, the USA travels to El Salvador, which hasn't qualified for a World Cup since 1982 and has never beaten the USA in qualifying.
The third opponent is Trinidad & Tobago, which qualified for its first World Cup in 2006, finishing fourth in the Hexagonal to earn a playoff with Bahrain. The USA dismantled T&T convincingly, 3-0, in Illinois last September in the semifinal round. The Americans had already advanced when Coach Bob Bradley sent an experimental squad out in Port of Spain for the rematch the Soca Warriors won, 2-1, for their first ever qualifying win over the USA. They shouldn't pose any problems for the Americans in the Hexagonal.
Aside from the drama the Mexico opener promises, playing at Costa Rica on June 3 - the game has been moved up a week to free the USA to head for the Confederations Cup - provides the most exciting challenge for Bradley's team in the first half of the Hexagonal.
Besides Mexico, the Ticos are the only team with a winning record against the USA in qualifying and are notoriously strong at home, where they now play on artificial turf. They would be favorites to finish in the top three along with the USA and Mexico were it not for Honduras, which finished ahead of Mexico, Jamaica and Canada in the semifinal round.
Honduras beat the USA in Washington, D.C., in 2001 after falling to the Americans in San Pedro Sula. But for however troublesome the Catrachos and Ticos can be for the USA, they tend to slip up against other opponents.
Judging from past qualifying campaigns, including the semifinal round last year that included a dour 1-0 win at Cuba, the USA is likely to grind out the results it needs on the road, play a bit more impressively at home, and book a ticket to South Africa.
When they claw their way to collecting the points they need to qualify, the players will explain that these games are "battles" and not meant to be "pretty."
But this time around, the bar should be set higher. The USA should be able to outplay their opponents regardless of the venue with superior soccer - a possession game, clever buildup, and flair.
The true measure of Bradley's team will be if it offers better soccer than what we've seen in the last three qualifying campaigns. It isn't too much to ask for a sign of real progress - and for a win in Mexico.

Blackstar HT-Dual Tube Dual Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal
The HT-DUAL guitar pedal offers the ultimate in high voltage valve distortion flexibility. Channel 1 has Clean or Crunch modes and can be used clean, as a boost or overdrive. Channel 2 gives distortion tones from super crunch right up to screaming lead. The unique switching operation will transform a single channel vintage amp into a three channel tone machine.
Operates at 300V HT
The HT-DUAL pedal operates on a 300V DC anode supply voltage (H.T. voltage). This is the same used in traditional valve amplifier design and means the circuit has all the compression and distortion characteristics associated with a true valve amp design and therefore 'cleans up' in the same way when you back off the volume on your guitar.
ISF Control
The patented ISF control works with the Bass, Middle and Treble controls to give you access to infinite new sound possibilities from the USA to the UK and everywhere in-between. This fully interactive control allows you to infinitely adjust the response of the tone control network between any of the traditional voicings. In this way you can design your own sound and truly find the sound in your head.
Two Channels
The HT-DUAL features two switchable channels for flexability. Channel 1 has either Clean or Crunch modes so it can be used clean, as a boost or overdrive. Channel 2 gives distortion tones from super crunch right up to screaming lead. The unique switching operation will transform a single channel vintage amp into a three channel tone machine.
Speaker Emulated Output
The Blackstar emulated output design is a new benchmark for pro direct recording. This no-compromise design makes it easy to get your tone disk and tape. You can also use it to run a line out to a PA.
Unique Switching
The unique switching operation transforms the HT-DUAL into a three channel tone machine, without the need to learn how to tap dance. Whether you're in bypass or on either channel, you're only ever a single tap away from any other selection. Many hours of research showed us that only soft switching and a buffered bypass signal will give absolutely silent switching in high gain applications.
Rugged Design
All Blackstar pedals are subjected to extensive laboratory and road testing to ensure that they are truly uncompromising in terms of reliability, quality and above all tone. You can throw them in the van and take them on the road and not have to worry.
High Integrity Buffered Bypass
The HT-DUAL's buffered bypass signal means there are no problems presented by driving long cable runs or chains of other effects.

I like to keep a fairly inexpensive bottle of a drinkable cognac or cognac style brandy just for cooking; but I use it frequently so it's worthwhile for me to save money on the cooking cognac -- especially if the alcohol is flamed or boiled off.
Raynal (French,available at Trader Joe's), E&J XO (Californian, widely available) and Paul Masson XO (also Californian and widely available) are each less than $15 a bottle and cook extremely well.
Hope this helps,
We use Paul Masson XO at the club for anything calling for cognac or brandy. Since your recipe is an au poivre style I suggest using it because the result is pretty great. We make an au poivre strip with it and it always comes out nice. Hope this helps and congrats on graduating from culinary school!
to PieBird13:
It is the same as for cooking with wine - the better and higher quality alcohol you have, the better that food will be. Drinking principle - never drink shitty stuff, as well as never cook with it.
But when we are talking about COGNAC, it never can be shit, because COGNAC is the best brandy in the world! It is brandy made only in Cognac Area in France...so probably you want to talk about brandy....and in this case my first sentnence takes effect..:)

Maybe everyone should tweet to him to go back to Canada...
He comes to USA, becomes wealthy exercising the 1A and then wants to change the 2A because he does not agree with it. Go back to Canada Jim!
Maybe we could let him and Larry the Cable Guy debate the subject.
He's Canadian and lives in Hollywood, what would you expect?
Used to be funny...........
Fire Marshall Bill,
Me myself and Irene,
But upon review of his latest state of mind, I'd say he's a dope;
Crazy kind of dope.

Jim Carrey To Emma Stone: 'I Love You' In Possibly Creepy Video
He has about as much credence on firearms as a rock.
Can he can even own a gun?
Jenny McCarthy left him because he refused to take his medication for depression, and think it shows in his twitter postings.
He opened up to CNN in 2008 about his years-long struggles with depression.
I personally don't care about any celebrities opinions, whether they agree with me or not. Just because they can make a statement and get it spread across the country/world, doesn't mean I care what they say. To me, they're no different than any other person.
Perhaps they'd act more like everyone else if they were treated like everyone else.
Jim Carrey......talking out of his a$$ again.
ace ventura-the ass scene(the best part) - YouTube
In fact, keep both him and Michael Moore.
We don't want either of them back.
What can we say, most of Hollyweird is anti-gun anyway. And him being Canadian, he does not understand our 2nd Amendment and our gun culture.
Are we still talking about this? These Hollyweird types yaking is nothing but noise. They are like dancing monkeys...they are for our entertainment. When they get into politics, they are not doing their jobs. Look how they run their own lives. Not people who give advice I would take. I not only ignore their stupid rants....depending on what they say...I will stop watching their movies or buying their music altogether. With this guy it is not a hardship to ignore him and his "works"....he stopped being entertaining a loonngg time ago.
Still find it funny how much Hollywood do nothings can stir up so much anger among the masses.

New Delhi: News was spread out that Katrina Kaif will be dancing with her macho ex, Salman Khan, for the film "Joker" of Shirish Kunder. It will be an item number which will show the lead stars in this film, Sonakshi Sinha and Akshay Kumar, and Salman was to appear next to Katrina. However, all the rumors were turned to dust, as finally Katrina came out in the open and stated clearly that there has been no such agreement and that she will certainly not be dancing with Sallu.
Farah Khan is very close to both Katrina and Salman, and thus the rumors started about the two ex lovers shaking their legs together in an item number. We all know that Akshay thinks that Katrina is his lucky charm, and that Salman is the first hero Sonakshi has known. The rumors are justified, but have not proven to be true.
Apparently, there is no room for reconciliation between Salman and Katrina, especially considering that Kat will be the pair of SRK in a new film soon.

You have been doing an amazing job.
Excellent job, as always! Love your work(s)!
Well done. Can't wait to get it.
Looks amazing..... job well done............
Great paintjob!
How did you do the damage around the the left ear decal? Did you cut out the damage or did you mask over it somehow? I saw that earlier in the thread you already painted the ear. When I did mine I actually cut out the decal, put it in place and then worked the damage in around it.
Thanks Guys!! Clonecollector I use Lucky31's decals and they have the damage already cut out so for the most part it lines up fairly well.
What are the lucky 31 ear decals?

LeAnn Rimes: Miami Beach Babe
Catching some rays on the beach, LeAnn Rimes stepped out with her assistant in Miami on Saturday (April 6).
The "Can't Fight the Moonlight" singer gave a peek at her beach bod in a purple bikini, denim jacket, and daisy dukes as she smiled brightly.
Sharing her amazing time with her Twitter followers, while in the sunny city LeAnn tweeted, "South Beach is so gorgeous today. Gonna be a fun day OFF!!!" and posted a selfie of herself in shades with the caption, "Happy woman."
However, the pesky shutterbugs almost managed to sour her mood, as she shared, "I guess I'll go for an ocean dip at midnight cause there are at least 30 paparazzi and @kikicaldas has disowned me.," followed by "Love the sweet people that are hiding me so I can chill."
Enjoy the pictures of LeAnn Rimes walking on the beach with friends in Miami, FL (April 6).

In Tranced Instrumentalist - The Return of Uli Jon Roth
Many rock guitarists have a secret passion for symphony orchestras, especially those playing more bombastic pieces such as Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony" or Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture" - stuff that wouldn't sound out of place at a congregation of diehard metal-heads. Of course there are those who incorporate classical riffs into their playing - Yngvie Malmsteen being the most obvious. But those who have truly blended rock and classical music in a masterful way are few and far between.
That's what makes the recently released Metamorphosis of Vivaldi's Four Seasons so spectacular. Former Scorpions guitarist Uli Jon Roth, who tore up many late-'70s albums with that well-known organization, has really perfected the merger of hard rock guitar and symphonic swagger with this incredible release. And did we say he's done it exceptionally well, too?
Roth, who left the Scorps after recording five albums with the group, and later toured the world through the mid-'80s in front of his own group, Electric Sun, has been semi-secretly becoming a towering figure in the merger of these vary disparate musical styles. Working quietly the past two decades on both his own orchestral compositions and his takes on beloved classical masterpieces, Roth now fronts a group called the Sky Orchestra, and plans to fly over to American shores later in 2004.
Guitar.com spoke with Uli on the phone from England, where he has lived since leaving his native Germany 20+ years ago, about getting the right mixture of electric guitar and chamber orchestra, rock 'n' roll energy and classical subtlety, and beastly 20th Century riffing with the beauty of melodies perfected hundreds of year ago. Read this great interview, then get yourself a copy of the CD or DVD of Metamorphosis of Vivaldi's Four Seasons just as fast as you can.
Guitar.com: Hi Uli, it's Adam with Guitar.com.
Uli Jon Roth: Good to meet you Adam.
Guitar.com: Your new Metamorphosis CD is really cool, and so is your website.
Roth: You had a look at it?
Guitar.com: Yes. What you're doing with Metamorphosis and the Sky Orchestra is really cool. I've been thinking about doing some similar things myself lately. I listen to a lot of classical, orchestral music, and I've been thinking about doing them on electric guitar. So I think this is really cool what you've got going on here.
Roth: So somebody did it for you.
Guitar.com: Yes! And better than I'd be able to do anyway.
Roth: Well....
Guitar.com: I know that you've actually written symphonies [Editor's Note: Metamorphosis is Roth's take on Vivaldi's bombastic Four Seasons symphony.]
Roth: Oh yes. I've actually written four, two of which are not scored. That means that they're there in structure and everything. But the two others are in full score, and one of them has been performed with a big orchestra. And the other is bits and pieces. I guess you're in the States aren't you?
Guitar.com: Yes, Chicago.
Roth: Ah, Chicago. I remember it well. But, you know, after my Electric Sun years, which - when was I in Chicago?...'85. I basically went into, I completely went away from the rock business, or literally anything public. And that's when I started writing this so-called "more serious music," starting with a guitar concerto - which was a one-and-a-half-hour piece. I did that in 1987. And then I developed from then on, and for about 13 years or so I barely played a handful of shows. So I didn't have much presence in the States. But I think that's going to change now. I started touring again in recent years, and I'm really enjoying it.
Guitar.com: I know you did the G3 tour in Europe
Roth: Yeah, I did G3. In fact that was probably the first thing that got me going again, in terms of touring, because I hadn't been on a tour since '85. It gave me a taste for the whole thing again. But there was a point where I really didn't enjoy touring so much anymore. The eternal being on the road and really not getting anything done during the day, other than having a performance at night. But now I'm enjoying it.
"I find electric guitar fascinating because it has a magical potential hidden within. But if you just go for the lowest common denominator, you will end up with something that sounds like a McDonald's society."
Guitar.com: Do you perform live with the Sky Orchestra occasionally?
Roth: Yeah. Occasionally: That's a good word for it, because whenever that happens, it is a special occasion. Typically, it's very expensive to do these things and you can only do it for special events. But because of the CD - and now the DVD - it certainly has opened so many doors. Now there are quite a number of promoters who really want to see this thing on stage in theaters. So I've been offered a tour for the U.K., Germany, potentially France and various places in Europe, playing theaters, playing Metamorphosis and the Four Seasons and certain other pieces. And that would be with the Sky Orchestra. And there is also some interest from the States in that regard. So I expect that we'll do a lot more of that in the second half of the year.
Guitar.com: How many people are in the Sky Orchestra?
Roth: It completely varies It depends on what we're doing. When we're recording, we're recording with small numbers - like around 10. Live it would be slightly more. It's basically a chamber orchestra. But in the studio we double track the sections, and we are going very much for a live sound, but a live studio sound. So it's a controlled atmosphere with natural ambience. And we're doing the same live. We're just miking it in a clever way and we're getting very monumental sound that way. And they're all top-class players anyway. They're all symphony orchestra players. They're from the best orchestras, these guys and girls.
Guitar.com: I notice there are a lot of girls - and some pretty good lookers, too.
Roth: Yeah. (laughs).
Guitar.com: Was that your plan? (laughs) It looks good.
Roth: I guess it was, because we wanted to do a video, so some of them played on the album. For instance, the double-bass player, Lucy Shaw, she's just phenomenal, and she just happens to really look good (laughs). And so we thought, it's a nice contrast to have girls in there, and they're wearing Renaissance dresses. The whole thing, on stage, looks pretty magical that way. When I go to a classical concert, I'm usually bored, just looking at people. I'm a visual animal [Editor's note: Roth is also an excellent painter - see the artwork on his website and in the liner notes to Metamorphosis.] and I want my eye challenged as well as my ear, and I'm not getting it, normally.
And so to me, what I did with the Vivaldi, I put it basically into a cinemascope frame. I made a movie out of it - a music movie - which, when you're listening to it, also stimulates your interior visual sense, not just your aural sense. And we're trying to kind of hint at that when we're playing live as well. And it really works. It's a lot more fun that way, and it's actually inspiring. It works much better with the music, also.
Guitar.com: Are you familiar with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra?
Roth: I'm not familiar with them, but I've heard a little bit about them because our record company suggested we should go on tour together. We happen to be on the same label.
Guitar.com: They kind of sprang up in the last few years, really. I don't really know the whole back story but I've met a couple of the players, such as guitarist Alex Skolnick and violinist Mark Wood. But I believe they got started by putting out a CD of Christmas music, but really like hard rock meets the orchestra Christmas music. As I understand, they tend to tour more around that time. But I think it would be a very fitting tour for the two of you together.
Roth: Well, that's what my record company suggested.
Guitar.com: They have some really good guitarists who have a past history in hard rock and heavy metal, but they're educated players. And combined with some very good classical string players. It's very interesting what they do. I haven't seen them, but I think they're
Roth: Yeah, they tour some pretty big places
Guitar.com: Yes they do, and I think they're doing pretty well. It would be a good way for you to be re-introduced to the States. And if you're on the same label, it's probably almost a done-deal, right?
Roth: I don't know. We're on the same label in Europe. I don't know where they are in the States. But you know there are a lot of things under discussion in the States at the moment, and some pretty big things. I'm pretty sure we'll make it out there.
Guitar.com: When was the last time you played the States?
Roth: 1985.
Guitar.com: Wow! It's been that long?
Roth: Yeah! We played the Metro in Chicago in '85, and we did a whole American tour with Electric Sun.
Guitar.com: So there is a whole generation of kids out there that have never heard you play guitar.
Roth: There's a whole generation. And I really never wanted to go back to the States unless the conditions were right. I'd moved so far away from the rock thing at one point, and I was perfectly happy to just write music. Performance wasn't that interesting for me. But now, in this stage of my life, I like both. And with this album, we've had a tremendously good reaction from America. That's why we're going to give it a shot. And whether it's on a solo tour, or a support tour, or festivals. Anything is possible. There's been talk of a pretty big festival in San Antonio on Memorial weekend. I've been invited to be the musical director, and there I would perform one night with the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra, and another night would be a rock night.
Guitar.com: When you did the G3 tour with Satch and Michael Schenker in 1998, you did that playing rock music, right?
Roth: Not really. It was a mixture. We did the Mendelssohn concerto, we did a Vivaldi. We did a lot of the classical stuff, but we did it in a rock environment, with a band.
Guitar.com: Not with your string ensemble?
Roth: No. With a band, a five-piece band. So it was a mixture of my own stuff, plus some classical stuff.
Guitar.com: And when you did the Japan and European tours
Roth: That was a larger setting. We had a violin player and several singers. It was a bigger setting.
Guitar.com: But it says the Electric Sun Years on your website.
Roth: That's a DVD, not a list of concerts.
Guitar.com: Oh, sorry.
Roth: The Electric Sun years ended effectively in 1985. The last tour we ever did was in '85, and the last concert we ever did was the festival in Milwaukee, probably on Independence Day, because I remember the fireworks.
Guitar.com: That would be Milwaukee's Summerfest, one of the largest and coolest music festivals in North America.
Roth: That's what we played. That was the end of that period.
Guitar.com: So what took you toward classical music?
Roth: Musically, I grew up in those camps. My first instrument was trumpet, not guitar. I was taught by an orchestra player, and that's how I learned how to read music, at least initially. Then later I switched to the guitar. But from early on there was the rock side, actually starting with the Beatles. I was always inclined more toward melodic and harmonic things. Then it was rock and blues. And then at the same time, maybe just slightly later, I started to discover classical music in a big way - learning all these transcriptions - Bach and all these things. Almost the entire repertoire. And then the piano. And very early on I got turned on to violin concertos, and broader classical forms. And that kind of always reflected in my "so-called" rock playing. So I was never and out and out rock guitar player, there were always classical influences in there. And I guess the further I progressed, the more this classical side came out in my guitar playing. That's the story.
"Classical music represents the pinnacle of Western culture, whereas rock music represents the brutal and technical aspects of the previous century, particularly the second half of it."
Guitar.com: Have you paid attention to other groups' mergers of rock or metal and classical music? And by that I mean rock groups performing or recording together with actual symphony orchestras or symphonic players. Have you heard much of that.
Roth: Not really. I know various people have done various things. When I did the first thing, which for me was the first big thing with a classical orchestra - I did that in '93 - and not many people had done it by then. There had been Deep Purple with In Rock or whatever, but there hadn't been anyone who had really merged symphony and concerto into one thing with rock singers and classical choir and with an orchestra. Most of the bands that did the so-called cross-over type thing, really didn't utilize the symphony orchestra in the sense that it was written for the symphony orchestra. It was more like a band being accompanied by the symphony orchestra, which is a totally different thing.
Guitar.com: That's what I was going to say
Roth: They were basically just using the sound canvas or the framework of the orchestra, but I wouldn't call that symphonic, as such.
Guitar.com: Right. I was going to say that, in the States, in recent years - and for a younger generation - probably the most well-known example of that is Metallica playing with the San Francisco Symphony. And yet, to me, I was very disappointed because they didn't use the symphony, they just had a slight pad of strings in the background under their music. They didn't interact with the symphony. And certainly Metallica could have done it. They could have gone (makes heavy musical sound) bam-bam-bam-bam-bam, and then the symphony could have repeated that. But they didn't do that. They pretty much just had some strings in the background of their own rock album. That disappointed me. I don't call that an interaction.
Roth: But to be able to do what you wanted to hear, you have to be able to think like an orchestra, and think like a classical musician. And in rock, there are only a handful of people that I know who can do that. Usually most rock players don't read music, and they don't understand classical music. They just see it as an outsider, which means they leave the work of orchestration to a trained arranger or composer - who usually doesn't understand rock!
And the result is that you end up with something that is usually OK, or sounds OK, but it's usually falls way short of the mark that could have been achieved had one approached this thing from the inside angle. Rather than just taking the elements and juxtaposing them together in a more or less obvious fashion. If you treat the combination of rock and symphonic orchestra in a superficial fashion, you will certainly get results that will sound impressive to some people, but you're not going to get something that will hold up for a very long time.
It's way too intricate a world for this, and the possibilities are endless, but you have to really know what you're doing and you have to go very deep inside the possibilities in order to fathom what's possible and what's not possible. For me it was a very long road in order to be really satisfied with the blend that I was getting between the rock element and the symphonic element, to the point where you don't know where one ends and the other begins. That was always my aim: to make an organic and kind of magical marriage out of two elements which are almost diametrically opposed in certain respects. And that was a very big challenge, because the symphony orchestra, to me, in all its glorious and splendid beauty, it represents like 300 to 400 years of culture from the past - the pinnacle of Western culture. Whereas, rock music represents a lot of the brutal and technical aspects of the previous century, particularly the second half of it.
Guitar.com: Are you saying the Decline of Western Civilization?
Roth: Well whatever. You could say that, maybe. Not in a derogatory way, it's just image. It's an image of society, and it's actually pretty accurate. It's almost like a mirror. It's almost like you're looking at the Beauty and the Beast. Now every society, every culture needs to look at itself in the mirror. And when I look at the electric guitar, I find it fascinating because that instrument is actually very much - it has the magical potential which is hidden within, but it also, if you just give into it, if you just go for the lowest common denominator, yes you will end up with something that sounds like a McDonald's society kind of approach.
Some people might find that derogatory, but that's the way I think about these things. And so what I was trying to do was find the marriage between the Beauty and the Beast, and manage to make the beast beautiful.
Guitar.com: Well Uli, you've done it! Thanks so much for your time.
Roth: Thank you Adam.

I've got three days to decide if I want to go through the
process of trying to get my middle son into the same Selective
Enrollment school as his older brother. With the Dec. 16 cut-off
looming, I have been procrastinating since October.
My middle son barely missed getting into his brother's school
two years ago. When I had him tested the following year, he still
had a good score, but it wasn't enough. He is now happily
entrenched in the neighborhood school, but the pressure remains.
These SE schools are the finest in the state. As parents, aren't we
wired to always seek the best education possible for our kids?
In trying to figure out my plans for testing, I was suddenly
overcome with a strong sense of déjà vu. It came not from my years
of engaging in this educational rat race, but rather from another
unlikely source: "The Canterbury Tales."
You might wonder what a Middle English story has to do with CPS.
Let me explain. In "The Canterbury Tales," a bunch of random
pilgrims from all walks of life bundle together to flee the Black
Death. They engage in a story-telling contest to pass the time. Yet
throughout the tale, there is an underlying friction between the
social classes of the day.
Sound familiar yet?
Welcome to "A Veteran's Tale." If you're thinking of testing
your kid for Selective Enrollment, here's how it's going to go
That's the formal process. But before all the snow melts in
April when you hear back from CPS, you're also going to read up on
the tier system, ratios for placement, principal picks, sibling
preferences, and all the other bureaucratic bullsh*t that
exacerbates class warfare and cronyism within the school system. It
is a wretched and horrible process that I believe is designed to
keep CPS parents fighting with each other instead of turning their
wrath elsewhere (and I'll let you decide where that wrath should be
So, I'm going to help you out. Don't. Just don't. There
is no amount of obsessing that will change the outcome. Your kid
will either get into one the preferred schools or he won't. Work on
accepting or planning for both possibilities. Don't yell at your
mailman. Don't stalk the Office of Academic Enhancement. Don't
promise your kid that puppy. I made all of these mistakes and I
regret them whole-heartedly.
I have driven myself crazy during the last few years over
something beyond my control. I understand that many parents are
desperately fleeing a sort of Black Death of Education given that
many of the worst-performing schools in the entire nation are right
here in Chicago.
Yet if you're still set on spending the winter making yourself
nauseous after testing, be sure to visit cpsobsessed.com. The lady over there knows her
stuff. And you will find others just like you. An entire army of
Chicago parents visits regularly: obsessing, commenting, posting
test scores, and even putting together spreadsheets on cut-offs for
the current year for all the different SE schools. The level of
devotion is astounding. I commend their spirit and willingness to
fight the good fight. I was once one of them.
But this year, things have changed. I might just pour myself a
big glass of Merlot and opt out. I'm so very tired and unwilling to
let a seriously flawed system ruin my winter. I need to remember
that if the laundry in my house can make anxious, just
imagine what another round of SE testing could do to me.
I could die.
Then who would they get to finish all this flippin' laundry?

RIR brings exposure, money to county
By Tom Lappas, Henrico Citizen Editor 02/16/11
It began 65 years ago as little more than a dusty oval at a rural fairgrounds. Today, it hosts more than a quarter-million visitors annually, is home to the only major league sporting events in Virginia and perhaps does more than any other single entity to attract national and international attention to Henrico County.
It's the Richmond International Raceway, and its legacy has earned it the No. 21 spot on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant moments in Henrico history.
The raceway holds an important spot not only in Henrico history but also in the history of its sport and NASCAR (the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing). Only three tracks (in Daytona, Fla., Martinsville, Va. and Darlington, S.C.) have continuously hosted NASCAR races at their present locations longer than RIR. Unlike many of the now-defunct tracks that hosted races in the sport's early years, RIR has survived – and thrived.
As a result, it's help stamp Henrico County on the national and international racing landscape.
"We think this adds a lot to the quality of life in this community," said RIR President Doug Fritz, who has been at the helm of the raceway since International Speedway Corporation purchased it from its longtime owners, the Sawyer family, in 1999. "We're very proud to be part of Henrico County and the history of Henrico County. Our entire life has been here in Henrico County.
The last 50 years have been great years for Henrico County, and we like to think that we're some of the reason for that success."
The raceway, which hosts two race weekends annually, generates an estimated $417 million each year in total economic impact for the Metro Richmond region and helps employ nearly 7,000 people, according to the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau. Even non-NASCAR fans who live in the county and have never attended a race feel the benefits produced by RIR.
"The economic benefit you can see both directly and indirectly," said John Vithoulkas, Henrico County finance director, who said the county receives $1 million annually in direct real estate, business license tax and business personal property tax payments and hotel taxes. "And that doesn't include sales taxes generated by all the fans."
RIR and tourism officials estimate that the track's events generate $75 million a year in overall tax revenue to the county, state and federal governments.
A changing landscape
It's hard to say how Ted Horn would fare in a modern racecar at RIR today – where drivers exceed 120 mph and sometimes race three-wide – but it's safe to say he was adequately prepared for its first official race, which he won on Oct. 12, 1946 in an open-wheel car that averaged nearly 46 mph. The track was then a half-mile dirt oval at the Atlantic Rural Exposition Fairgrounds known to some as the Strawberry Hill Speedway.
The track held its first NASCAR event April 19, 1953 – a 100-mile race won by legend Lee Petty. Two years later, Paul Sawyer and driver Joe Weatherly purchased the facility, presiding over its growing reputation that led to a second NASCAR race being added to its annual schedule in 1959. The twice-yearly schedule has continued since, and today RIR is one of 13 tracks to host two Sprint Cup Series races a year and one of only 10 to host two Nationwide Series races annually.
In 1968, the track was paved for the first time, and in 1988, it was lengthened to its current and distinctive three-quarter-mile shape. It's the only track on the NASCAR circuit of that length, and drivers and fans alike appreciate its unique elements that often result in exciting, competitive races rather than monotonous ones. RIR's capacity has grown steadily from 58,000 in 1992 to its officially listed capacity of 98,000 today (though a number of races in recent years have attracted crowds of more than 100,000). The raceway's 33-race sellout streak ended in Sept. 2008.
While many other tracks on the NASCAR circuit are located on the outskirts of cities, surrounded by asphalt and little else, RIR is clearly the product of humble beginnings, still sitting adjacent to modest neighborhoods and surrounded by industrial parks and suburban roads.
When ISC bought the facility, it was still sharing some "amenities" with its neighbor, the State Fair of Virginia.
"We still had chicken coops and horse stalls and hen houses and all that," Fritz said.
ISC and RIR have added new amenities during the past 12 years, including the Torque Club, which sits high above the track and offers spectators what Fritz calls "one of the best fan experiences you can have in any sport," and a new LED scoring tower and video screen that debuted last year, allowing every spectator to see the race leaders. Today, "we're considered one of the most premier sports facilities in this country," he said.
Fritz made a point to take advantage of the track's unique setting to develop relationships with its neighbors. He opened the facility to the community, inviting residents of Essex Village and other neighborhoods to enjoy National Night Out cookouts and take pace-car laps around the track. He's also involved track employees in a plethora of community initiatives through the years.
"It's the right thing to do," he said. "We wanted people to see that we're not just the 'Green Giant' across the street. We do care about this community, and a lot of our efforts are focused on the youth."
Wide-reaching impact
The overall impact that RIR has on Henrico County and Metro Richmond from a national and international standpoint may be difficult to judge specifically, but it's clear that the exposure it provides to the region through a sport with an estimated 75 million fans is significant. For those who watch races in person, on television or who listen on radio, Richmond International Raceway is a familiar name.
"We are drawing fans on every NASCAR weekend from all 50 states, and that's great exposure for Henrico County," Fritz said. "Some of the fans come back to visit Henrico County. And this is a part of the country that they may not have seen if not for Richmond International Raceway."
In addition to hosting two weekends of NASCAR racing every year – each of which makes the complex the eighth-largest city in Virginia for one day – the raceway complex hosts dozens of conventions, expos and shows in its expo halls throughout the year, bringing thousands more regional visitors to Henrico County.
When NASCAR switched to a new playoff system in 2004, RIR realized more good fortune as the host of the final race before the 10-race playoff began. Each year since, drivers on the fringe of the playoff chase have come to Richmond anxious to make one final push before the watchful eyes of NASCAR nation.
Late last year, the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau launched a proactive effort to encourage businesses and fans to purchase tickets to both of this year's races as a way to solidify RIR's hold on its twice-annual schedule. This year, Atlanta and Fontana, Calif., each lost one of their two races, and Fritz said there's no guarantee from year to year that any track will maintain two races.
"I feel pretty good, but we can't be complacent," he said. "This is very important for us as a community. It's not going to be easy, and it's going to take a lot of work on a lot of people's parts, including mine, to keep two races here.
"But as long as people keep supporting Richmond International Raceway, we're going to be here a long time"
Richmond International Raceway will host its 110th Sprint Cup Series race April 30, one day after it hosts the Nationwide Series race. For tickets or details, visit http://www.rir.com.

Re: Re: Re: Re: What is zero divided by zero?
I find your argument strange. I am a mathematician and I have published
papers where I have introduced new definitons and new terminology, as
has practically every research mathematician. I am free to introduce
any new concept and name it anyway I like (though of course I can't
force others to use my terminology) if it is self-consistent, useful
and I make my meaning clear. The fact that "folks don't ordinarily
speak of it" is relevant only until sombody chooses to do otherwise.
The set with one element with the obvious operations of addition and
multiplication satisfies all the axioms of a field except the
convention that 1 should be different form 0. It is perfectly well
defined, it is useful for the purpose of this thread, and 1/0 =1 = 0
holds in it. I chose to call it a "field" though I could equally well
have called it a "desert" but how does the name change anything?

Alert the media. Isiah Thomas had a business meeting with the owner of the New York Knicks.
The New York Post reports that James Dolan and Thomas met Friday at the Mandarin Hotel in New York.
Writes Marc Berman:
A band of security men surrounded the two men who were both dressed in business suits in a quiet corner of the lobby. Thomas has lobbied to return to the organization since he was fired as the Florida International basketball coach last spring. The meeting took place two days after the resignation of MSG sports president Scott Oâ??Neil, who, according to a source, helped convince Dolan rehiring Thomas wasnâ??t a good move for the Knicks brand
Thomas was the team president and coach from 2003-2008.
Rumors will abound about Thomas since he and Dolan have remained close and the team is looking for a president and an assistant coach. To add some fuel, Thomas played at Indiana with Knicks coach Mike Woods and GM Glen Grunwald.

freeFall presents premiere of The Burnt Part Boys
Article published on
Monday, June 9, 2014
From left, Cameron Kubly, Nick Fitzer, Joseph Flynn and Nick Lerew star in The Burnt Boys, playing June 14 through July 6 at freeFall Theatre.
ST. PETERSBURG freeFall Theatres upcoming production of The Burnt Part Boys runs June 14 through July 6.
The Burnt Part Boys takes the audience out of St. Petersburg, Florida and deep into West Virginias coal mines, following the very human experience of 14-year-old Pete, his brother Jake and their friends.
As these daring young people journey into the coal mine known as the burnt part, the same mine that took their fathers lives, audiences are challenged to experience and perceive the streaks of light and the depths of the darkness that lie in each of us. By turns magical, inspiring, raucous, and playful it is a coming-of-age tale in the finest vein of the genre that people from all walks of life can relate to.
Eric Davis directs The Burnt Part Boys with musical direction by Michael Raabe. This production stars Katie Berger, Nick Fitzer, Joseph Flynn, Cameron Kubly, Nick Lerew, Daniel Schwab, Jim Sorensen, Patrick Ryan Sullivan and Chris Vaughn.
Composer Chris Miller and lyricist Nathan Tysen along with librettist, Mariana Elder, created this empowering and thrilling theatrical experience for young and old alike that the New York Times said recalls the exploits of Mark Twains beloved roughhousers, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. The Burnt Part Boys is the winner of the Edgerton Foundation New American Play Award (2009) and nominated for the Lucille Lortel for Best Musical (2010).
Russell Buchan also sponsors the show.
Show times are 7 p.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday with matinee performances at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Adult ticket prices range from $29 to $44. Group rates are available by calling Matthew McGee at 727-498-5205, ext. 7. For regular ticket purchases or more information, visit
or call 727-498-5205.
freeFall Theatre is located at 6099 Central Ave., St. Petersburg.
