1,500 attend governor's Easter egg hunt
By Alex Wiggins, Capital News Service 04/05/12
The lawn around the state Capitol was hopping with about 1,500 egg-collecting children Wednesday as Gov. Bob McDonnell and first lady Maureen McDonnell held Virginia's first "Governor's Easter Egg Hunt."
Just as the U.S. president traditionally opens the White House grounds for an Easter egg roll, the McDonnells invited children to participate in their free event at Capitol Square.
The McDonnells formally greeted their guests after exiting the Executive Mansion accompanied by the Easter Bunny, Smokey Bear, Virginia Commonwealth University's Rodney the Ram, the Richmond Flying Squirrels mascot Nutsy and several other costumed characters.
"I want to especially thank the first lady and her staff – all of the people from the First Lady's Initiatives Team Effort – for their great planning," Gov. McDonnell said.
He singled out "Sarah Scarbrough, the mansion director, who's been putting Easter eggs together for about three months, I think."
After the event, Scarbrough called the egg hunt a success. "We'd love to see it become another Virginia tradition," she said.
Eight thousand plastic eggs had been placed all over the lawn of Capitol Square, designated for children of different ages – with some eggs apparently containing more impressive treasures than others.
The eggs for the event had been donated by the Science Museum of Virginia, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Bow-Tie Cinemas and other organizations, according to a press release issued by Mrs. McDonnell.
Students from The Steward School, a college preparatory school in Henrico County, painted the faces of egg-hunters for free. Music and mild weather accompanied the late-afternoon and early-evening festivities as the governor and the first lady mingled with a long line of guests and friends. They included VCU President Michael Rao, his wife Monica and their two children.
Some attendees were displeased, however, with the first-time jamboree.
"It was unorganized," said Delethia Agyeibi, a mother of two. "When the governor said, 'Go!' or whoever said, 'Go!' everybody went – and they didn't acknowledge the times and the ages for each set area."
Agyeibi's children expressed disappointment at not having won any special "prize eggs." But they smiled at the eggs they did manage to gather.
As part of the first lady's Serving Our Service Member Families effort, the McDonnells encouraged guests to bring "baby shower gifts for expectant military moms." Mansion staff and volunteers set up boxes for these items around the Capitol grounds, and most of them were full by the end of the two-hour-long event.
Children were able to write thank-you cards to members of the military at a booth provided by the United Service Organizations, as well as create bracelets with supplies provided by the Science Museum of Virginia.
"We all agree that trying to come together and do what's best for Virginia, trying to solve problems, is the thing that makes Virginia really a great state," Gov. McDonnell said.
"Enjoy this time with your family. Have a celebration for the great blessing that God has given us as Virginians and Americans and do the things that you want to do to have fun."
Several state agencies helped with the event. They included the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth, the Virginia State Police, the Virginia Tourism Corp. and the Virginia Egg Council.

URMC To Purchase Lakeside Health Systems
Brockport, N.Y. – The Lakeside Medical Center will open its door again. The University of Rochester Medical Center will rename the facility URMC Strong West.
The facility on West Avenue in Brockport will operate an Advanced Urgent Care Facility and, pending approval by the state, could open its emergency department that handled 17,000 emergency visits last year.
"Lakeside has meant a lot to so of people over the past 80 years," says Nancy Plews Chair of the Lakeside Health System. "We have been known for our quality and car and the hospital is an important resource to our community."
The 30 – 40 person Urgent Care staff is expected to be back to work before the students at The College at Brockport return in the fall. "We are unveiling a new model for converting a former acute care hospital into a cluster of outpatient and urgent care facilities," says Bradford Berk CEO of the University of Rochester Medical Center.
If approved by the state to reopen an emergency room, Lakeside would transition its Advanced Urgent Care into the Emergency Department.
The Lakeside board will remain intact and operate the facilities including the urgent care facility in Spencerport also being added to the URMC.
The Beikirch nursing and short term rehabilitation facility will continue to operate out of the former hospital. Lakeside will also be used for a wide range of outpatient services by the regions number one employer.

Preparing for Hurricane Sandy
We are in the process of preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Sandy tonight and tomorrow. We are currently under a High Wind Warning and Flood Watch Advisory. Schools across Massachusetts are closed tomorrow and utility crews from across the country are arriving in the Northeast to help us deal with any potential problems that arise. Several local businesses have already reported they will be closed tomorrow.
I hope to be able to blog this week, but it will depend upon our situation. Praying for all those who might be impacted by Hurricane Sandy.

Resealing the Stern Tube?
I've removed the Stern Tube on my OOD34 so that I can replace all the bolts before my new engine goes in. I was planning to use 5200 to reseal it but have been discouraged by a couple of friends. One told me to use a plain polysulfide the other has promised to bring some sort of bedding compound he swears by but I want to get the tube back on over this weekend and I have a couple tubes of 5200 on the boat already. Any reason why 5200 wouldn't work?
Re: Resealing the Stern Tube?
Are you talking about the bearing? If so they are either held in place by set screws or it just a press fit.
FWIW, never use 5200 on anything you might want to remove in the future.
I think he is talking about the tube going through the hull. On my Hunter 30, it is a bronze tube with 4 bolts and NO cutlass bearing. I am interested in the answer as I need to reinstall mine.
I have read that using 5200 will make it permanent and that's not a good idea. (Oops already was mentioned about the 5200)

Re: Resealing the Stern Tube?
5200 will work, but that's kind of like welding spark plugs into a gas engine. Works great, until the time comes to get them out -- and then you're talking about a real chore.
Listen to your friends, and use something less permanent than 5200. I'll even go a step further and suggest that you give away whatever stocks of 5200 you may currently have aboard so that the itch to use it in the future will not be easily scratched.
Re: Resealing the Stern Tube?
I used Sikaflex 291 or 292, can't remember- the fast one, because I wanted to be able to remove it again someday.
Re: Resealing the Stern Tube?
The general consensus seems to be not 5200. I will look around for that Sikaflex. I guess I shouldn't use 5200 on my thru hulls either then as I'm about to change all of those as well.
Re: Resealing the Stern Tube?
I think thru hulls is one of the places you probably would want 5200. Easy to get to for the most part when the boat is out of the water, and very sad if they let go :-)
It's one of the only places we use it at work. Otherwise it's 4200 or a specific goop for the specific job.
Re: Resealing the Stern Tube?
I'm not too sure about 5200 under the waterline. I once sandwiched some additional ballast on a boat with a fiberglass covered wood keel, connecting the two ballast pieces by through bolting them. I gooped the bolts up with 5200. The boat sat for another couple of weeks before I launched her. About two years later I decided to replace the bolts. Lo and behold, they came out very easily. The 5200 was soft in consistency, like it had never set up properly.
Another time, I saw a fellow recaulk his boat (about 35' plank mono) using 5200. When launch day came his boat had to sit in the slings for 3 days before the leaking slowed down enough for his multiple pumps to keep up with it. Pretty mad yard owner too.
I'm not an expert on this subject, just food for thought.

Ok I managed to get the stern tube down over the weekend. I used a bedding compound that came in a roll. I don't know the name of it as a friend gave me some and I don't think even he knows that correct name. Basically you roll it out and bolt down the tube over it. It compresses out like Plasticine and can be easily removed in the future as it remains pliable. I used a small amount of 5200 to seal the bolt holes as I will fibreglass those in on the outside so they will be water proof anyway.
Re: Resealing the Stern Tube?
looks like butyl tape. Stays pliable forever.

Aug. 28, 2010
By Danny Mattie
Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A record-breaking crowd of 6,333 was on hand Friday night to watch the No. 17 Colorado State program defeat the Duke Blue Devils, 3-1, to open the 2010 season.
The crowd, which came out in full force as part of a "White Out" promotion that included free student T-shirts, bested the program's 22-year-old attendance mark of 6,260 vs. BYU in 1988. It also established a new Mountain West Conference home-match record, which the Rams held previously at 5,486 fans for a 2001 match, also vs. BYU.
And despite some unforeseen side effects of a sea of white filling the stands, the Rams (1-0) impressed against the Blue Devils (0-1), who came to Moby as the preseason co-favorite (with Florida State) to win the 2010 ACC title, and a vote-getter in the AVCA National Coaches poll
"What a fantastic environment for an opening match," said Head Coach Tom Hilbert. "The interesting thing was that we didn't really think that with the 'White Out' it would impair the ability to track the ball, which is about 70 percent white. But, all-in-all, I thought we played pretty well."
The Rams took control midway through the first set after a neck-and-neck start that saw the Blue Devils pull to within 8-7 early in the contest.
"It was a great volleyball match," added Hilbert. "In the first set, Duke was with us before a long point run that separated us. They got a little down on themselves, but came back and fought like crazy in Set 2."
That Rams run was ignited by senior outside Hitter Jacque Davisson who posted a pair of solo blocks and served six consecutive points as part of a stretch that saw CSU extend a 10-7 advantage to a 22-12 stranglehold on the opening stanza.
But, like all good teams, the Blue Devils bounced back to push CSU, 26-24, in Set 2, before capturing a third-set victory, 26-24, over the Rams. CSU closed the match with a 25-21 victory in the fourth.
Those close sets against a top-tier opponent are something that Hilbert hopes will help his team throughout the season.
"Set 2 we had to win at the very end, just like Set 4; Set 3 we lost at the end," said Hilbert. "I think that we have to be the kind of team that is comfortable in close contests in end-game situations, so I'm very pleased that we played three of them tonight. I think we did some good things."
Added Hilbert: "Duke is excellent. I think they can win the ACC and are going to be a great team, an NCAA tournament team, so I think this is a very big win for us."
Davisson, who rounded out a double-double with 10 digs, tied sophomore Megan Plourde for match-high honors with 14 kills. But it was classmates Danielle Minch and (12 kills) and Audrey Hemmings (match-high 14 digs), who helped Davisson lead the Rams to their ninth season-opening win in 14 years under Hilbert.
"Jacque hit extremely well and Dani was good at critical times, like the end of the fourth set," said Hilbert. "Then we had some good defense and good passing from Audrey. We had really nice senior performances tonight."
Junior setter Evan Sanders tallied a match-high 46 assists, helping the Rams to a .246 team hitting percentage. Duke hit .176 with 51 kills and 27 errors for the match.
Claire Smalzer and Becci Burling led Duke with 13 and 12 kills, respectively.
Neither team could establish an edge in blocking, as both squads finished with 11 team blocks on the night.
Junior Katelyn Steffan chipped in with eight kill and a pair of service aces for the Rams. Brieon Paige added five kills, while Sanders and sophomore Dana Cranston each added three.
Colorado State looks ahead now to 2009 Southern Conference champs, Furman. The Rams and Paladins (0-1) are set to meet at 7 p.m. Saturday night at Moby Arena in each team's second match of the Coors Rocky Mountain Challenge. Furman lost, 3-0, at Colorado Friday night.
The Rams and rival CU play the final match of the challenge Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Moby Arena, kicking off the week leading up to the Cinch Jeans Rocky Mountain Showdown between the schools' football programs on Saturday at INVESCO Field at Mile High.

Carlos Whittaker, Fight
In a fusion of worship, techno, and pure honesty comes Carlos Whittaker's latest album offering Fight. Carlos, an avid blogger, worship leader, songwriter, artist, father, and adoption advocate set out on a desire to write songs about the "fight" that each person faces in their daily lives. The result has become the 10 track album.
From the opening track "New Song", Whittaker engages listeners with lyrics simple enough to make an instant add to a worship set list but dripping with truth. The entire album echoes lyrics depicting a God who fights for us on a daily basis. Standouts include songs such as "Fight", "Sing", and "Love".
The entire album is perfect for your NextGen/Youth sets and most songs in their current arrangement would add easily to the church's modern sets. The honesty and constant reminder of God's fight for us that Fight brings makes the album a great listen for personal worship as well.
More: Carlos is currently on tour as part of the "Give Me Jesus" tour with Building 429. When he is not touring, you can usually find him blogging away at ragamuffinsoul.com or leading Worship coaching sessions with other worship leaders across the globe.
Less: Instrumentation for the modern church may be a little tricky as many of the songs on the album rely heavily on electronica-type keys and acoustic.

The Pain Relief Massage Protocol is designed with particular attention to promote circulation of blood and lymph fluid. Many symptoms of pain relate to an unnatural contracted condition in the body. In many painful conditions, for whatever reason, toxins are held in the body rather than easily flowing out as waste.
This Pain Relief treatment utilizes essential oils that are known to penetrate, reaching deep into the tissue, assisting in the circulation of fluids which will release held toxins that tend to cause pain.
On an energetic emotional level, this treatment assists the client in replacing feelings of worry, related to thinking that life is hard and painful and something that must be endured, with feelings of ease and relaxation through belief that life is enjoyable and always moves in cycles of greater fulfillment.
It is useful for cases of fibromyalgia and chronic pain.

DiBella says Martinez is out until the first half of 2014, but is willing to fight Golovkin in the future
Promoter Lou DiBella told Fightnews.com today that WBC middleweight champion Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez is willing to face WBA middleweight king Gennady Golovkin in the future. "Sergio reached out to Sampson (Lewkowicz) and me today," DiBella told Fightnews.com. "He said that history will show that he has embraced every challenge available to him in his career. His legacy will be that he was always willing to fight the best. Right now, his concentration is on healing and rehabilitation and he will not fight until sometime in the first half of 2014. He wanted to make it clear that he is willing to fight Gennady Golovkin in the future. Any conversations now about timing would be premature and inappropriate. Tell all your little Twitter followers to calm down and enjoy watching Golovkin in the meantime."

CDA ovens look incredibly modern, which means they're perfect for transforming the look of your kitchen. Not only do they look great, but they also perform how modern machinery should – high powered, efficient and reliable.
We manufacture both single and double ovens in order to cater for all kinds of family life. Double ovens, as you would expect, are capable of cooking around twice as much food at one time, although typically the top cavity will be slightly smaller than the bottom cavity. The bottom cavity will usually be your main cooking area, capable of higher power and a range of different cooking styles. The top oven will be ever-so-slightly less powerful because it isn't fan assisted, but the help they can provide in getting more food cooked on time is invaluable.
Our ovens are capable of many things and include (depending on the model you opt for) a range of different features:
- Defrosting option
- Conventional oven
- Fan-assisted oven
- Fan oven

The Dow Jones Industrial Average breached 19000 for the first time early Tuesday, a day after multiple U.S. stock indexes hit records.
It has been a fast surge for the blue-chip index, which closed below 18000 less than three weeks ago. Since then, a stocks rally following the U.S. presidential election disparately benefited industrial companies and banks.
That's led to an unusual dynamic: the Dow industrials are on track to post stronger yearly performance than the S&P 500 for the first time since 2011.
The Dow's late-year rally is at odds with the index's performance at the start of the year. In January, worries about tumbling Chinese stocks and weak U.S. economic data sent the blue-chip index to its worst-ever five-day start to a year.
Since then, U.S. economic data has improved, and investors have re-embraced stocks. The election of Donald Trump also ignited a renewed demand for companies tied to economic growth, particularly in the manufacturing sector, an area that was plagued by selling earlier this year.
Banks also are new stock-market darlings, as investors have bet on loosened regulation under Mr. Trump as well as greater inflation.
"People are now thinking the glass is half full," said Jimmy Chang, chief investment strategist at Rockefeller & Co., referring to the stock market's postelection rally. Talk about tax cuts, looser regulation and infrastructure spending is contributing to investors' optimism, he added.
Since the election on Nov. 8, the Dow industrials is up 3.4% through Monday's close, while the S&P 500 is up 2.7%.
Big banks have led that rally, with Goldman Sachs Group contributing nearly 200 points of the Dow's 624-point gain in that time.
The Dow industrials are now on track to end the year up 9.1%, while the S&P 500 is on pace to finish 2016 up 7.8%.
On Tuesday, the Dow industrials recently rose 27 points, or 0.1%, to 18984, after earlier reaching as high as 19014.73. The S&P 500 added 0.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.2%.
All three indexes, plus the small-cap Russell 2000, closed at records Monday.
The strength in the recent rally belies the lack of clarity about actual policy implications of a Trump administration, some analysts say.
Possible contributors to stock-market swings include an acceleration in the recent selloff in bonds, a strengthening dollar weighing on corporate earnings, or the Trump administration enacting protectionist policies that could hurt multinational companies, some analysts and traders said.
"There's always the danger that you jump to conclusions way too fast because a lot of these expected benefits will take time to pan out," Mr. Chang said.
The dollar inched up Tuesday as investors continued to take stock following the currency's sharp postelection rally. The WSJ Dollar Index, which measures the U.S. currency against a basket of 16 others, was up 0.2% recently, after snapping a 10-trading day winning streak Monday.
Government bonds strengthened on Tuesday as yields fell. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note was 2.312% recently, according to Tradeweb, down from 2.335% Monday. That compares with a close of 1.867% on election day.
On Tuesday, the Stoxx Europe 600 gained 0.3%, led higher by banks, insurers and utilities shares.
The Nikkei Stock Average recovered, after falling in response to a 6.9-magnitude earthquake that struck off the eastern coast of Japan early Tuesday, to close up 0.3%. Australia's energy-heavy S&P ASX/200 rose 1.2%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was up 1.4%.

Please listen to this audio file and answer the question below. The file ... contains three versions of the same 1'15" excerpt of Mozart's Piano Concerto K.491. One is the original uncompressed CD-quality audio, the other two are compressed, like you'd download from iTunes or Amazon. Can you tell which is which?Responding in the comments section of the post, we wrote, in part:
[I]t depends on the audio system you're using to audition the clips. If you're using the ordinary MP3 audio system like, say, the audio system on your computer or an iPod, you probably won't notice any difference between the clips. If, however, you're using a high-priced, high-quality audio system (the two aren't necessarily the same thing), you'll notice the difference immediately. Given the ubiquitousness of the iPod and other crap audio systems, you'd be pretty stupid to pay out more bucks and give up more storage space for a CD-quality MP3.The blog author's response to this was both unexpected and, on further thought, thoroughly dismaying:
I can't believe that you have used an iPod to play back any of the lossless formats it supports through good-quality headphones and still think it is a "crap audio system". I worry that if your idea of "mediocre" starts somewhere beyond this, then you're hardly typical of even classical music purchasers — indeed it may well be that your idea of "good" surpasses the quality of the electronics used to record most classical albums in the first place.Our first thought was that the writer was simply pissed at us for dissing what's become something of an icon and de rigueur accessory for the under-thirty crowd, and we responded in kind with a snarky quip. But on giving further thought to that blog author's response, we, with a quick thrill of horror, began to suspect that this guy was simply expressing what he and his generation of classical music aficionados really feel to be the case; viz., that the iPod, with "good-quality headphones" attached, is actually a respectable audio system for the serious listening of recorded classical music. If that, in fact, is truly the feeling of most of today's young classical music aficionados, and their ears have really become that appallingly desensitized to the inaccurate reproduction of classical music, then classical music is in far deeper trouble than even its most pessimistic doomsayers imagine. For, as we've here written previously, unlike recorded pop music, with recorded classical music,
...dynamic nuance, nuance of timbre, and acoustic accuracy, among other such matters, are sine qua non, and even the very best existing CD format is incompetent to capture all that needs to be captured.But perhaps we're being just a tad alarmist concerning this blog post author's response. Perhaps he really was merely pissed at us for dissing one of his icons. One can but hope.
And then there's the problem of playback. Even given the very best existing CD format, hearing the playback of classical music so recorded through the earbuds of, say, the ubiquitous iPod is simply a joke. An insidious joke. A most insidious joke indeed. And the joke is on us — all of us. It's no mere bon mot to say, "You can get used to awful" P.D.Q., most especially when one has no point of live reference or too infrequent experience of it as is the unhappy case today overwhelmingly where classical music is concerned.
That's not true [viz., our contention that the test was not valid as the playback systems used were not standardized or even considered]. This is market research. It's not up to me to tell people how to use the product. Record stores don't tell you that you're not qualified to buy music based on your choice of CD player. Everybody was asked the same question. It wouldn't be very useful to know what people thought about music played back on equipment that they didn't own, and it seems completely reasonable to assume that almost everybody bothering to take part in the experiment would listen on the same stuff they'd use for any other music download. If we only asked people that own high-end stereo equipment, we'd only be asking people that already agreed with you. That would be like excluding sick people from a drug trial. It's not my fault that you got it wrong. If you'd spent two minutes going to fetch a pair of headphones instead of insulting me, you might have done better.The aggrieved Mr. Proper Discord, who imagines that our pointing out the fundamental flaw in his test was intended by us as an insult directed at him personally, misses the point (surprise!). What we wrote simply said that the test results do not confirm his hypothesis that "most classical music fans can't tell the difference between CD-quality downloads and the compressed kind you get from mainstream music stores" as he imagines they did. In order for that hypothesis to be confirmed, all conditions of the test would need to be standardized for all participants which they clearly were not. A key factor in such a test is the playback equipment used to audition the test file which playback equipment was not even considered much less standardized. It's our stated contention that when auditioned via the typical crap computer sound system or an iPod, no one would consistently be able to hear the difference between the test file's three excerpts, but if auditioned via a high-quality sound system, only the tone deaf would not be able to hear the difference. Beyond all that, it's a matter of continuing dismay to us that Mr. Proper Discord apparently still imagines that all that's required to transform a crap playback system into an acceptable one for the serious listening of recorded classical music is a pair of "good-quality headphones."

I'm against people who present [for instance] a Mozart symphony and say, "Okay, now I'm going to dissect this work and show you what it really is." To me it's a false point of departure. Our job as performers is to surrender our own egos and to completely open ourselves to the work itself and to transmit that work as if we're not there. This is on the one hand a very easy and simple thing to do. On the other hand, we're all crippled by our own egos. To me, I'm not interested in knowing what my interpretation is. When I was studying at The Juilliard School, the big movement was objectivism vs. subjectivism and the popular methodology was, "You have to find your own feelings, your own voice, and you have to find yourself. What's your take on this piece of music?" Well, I had an allergy to that type of conversation. I thought, "I know what my feelings are and I couldn't care less what my own feelings are. I want to know what the object is." Is that objectivism? Well, yes, that's objectivism. I want to know who Haydn is. I want to know who Beethoven is. I want to know how their music works. How does it fit? Why is it this? And why is it that? And to me, the beauty of that method is that you can devote yourself to the other, and a byproduct of that is that you find yourself. However if you go from the other point of view -- the "find yourself" subjectivism -- you don't find the other. It's very simple -- so simple that we don't do it enough.RTWT here.

Stephen Sondheim, possibly the most sophisticated and least sentimental composer ever to write a show tune, celebrates his 80th birthday on March 22. New York is waxing ecstatic. The first of several major celebrations took place on Monday amid much congratulating and fussing, whooping and hollering. The host turned out to be the underutilised New York Philharmonic, not exactly your average pit-band. The locale was Avery Fisher Hall, capacity 2,738 and essentially too large. The conductor was an old Broadway pro, Paul Gemignani. Lonny Price, the slick director, assembled a massive cast that actually honoured the tired label, "star studded." TV cameras loomed.RTW 339-word T here.

At the opening, [Eschenbach] kept the cellos hushed to the very edge of audibility (it's a tribute to the NSO cellists that they brought it off), which let him gradually build the volume and tension to great cresting breakers of sound. The orchestra responded by putting its heart into the music, and the Washington Chorus (which did its own Verdi Requiem last April) sang reliably and honorably. But Eschenbach followed the piece's emotional contours at the expense of its structure. The performance was so spiritual that it sometimes floated off into the heavens, losing its anchor to the ground — that is, its rhythmic pulse. The phrases kept battering against the confines of their proper tempos, now fast, now slow, so that orchestra and soloists sometimes had trouble staying together. It would be nice to blame it all on the soloists, but it wasn't all their fault. A lot was their fault, though. In this chorus-heavy city, the Requiem is usually done by somebody at least once a season. But even in an age that suffers a lack of good Verdi singers, the piece is seldom heard with such bad soloists. Evgeny Nikitin, the bass, was the least offensive. His voice was at least the right size for the part, but he sang with such unvaried color, squeezing out a harsh, flat sound, utterly disregarding the pronunciation of the Italian vowels, and coming in so often under the pitch, that he didn't give much enjoyment. Nikolai Schukoff, the tenor, was described in his biography as a lyric tenor who "has since developed towards heavier roles"; he sounded (when one could hear him) like a lyric tenor who is in the process of pushing his voice toward strain and collapse. Mihoko Fujimura offered a ramrod-straight, echoey mezzo-soprano with considerable range, but no legato line. That is, instead of playing her voice like a violin, she tended to break her phrases at ill-chosen moments (like the end of the otherwise successful opening of the "Lux aeterna"), or failed to support her sound. Soprano Twyla Robinson, by contrast, coquetted shamelessly with her own lines, breaking the phrases where it pleased her, swooping up or hauling off to take aim at a high note that her voice was too slender to deliver adequately -- and showing blatant disregard for the written rhythms in what felt like defacement of the music rather than mere haplessness.Reading the savage attacks launched by the commenters on Ms. Midgette's blog, one might be forgiven for imagining that the vitriol of their prose was provoked by the spiky, uncompromising, bluntly honest critique quoted above, but that's not it at all despite all appearances to the contrary. What subliminally provoked the vitriol of those savage attacks was the unfortunate, cringe-inducing wording of the simile that constituted Ms. Midgette's lede grafs. Wrote Ms. Midgette:
A bride who wants to look beautiful, they say, should pick ugly bridesmaids. That adage worked for the conductor Christoph Eschenbach at the Kennedy Center on Thursday night. He led the National Symphony Orchestra in a Verdi Requiem that featured such an awful quartet of vocal soloists that he could only look better by comparison.Ouch! We know what Ms. Midgette meant to convey by that simile, but her careless wording made it sound as if she were suggesting that Eschenbach purposely and calculatedly hired a dreadful quartet of singers for the express purpose of making himself look better. The clear absurdity of such a suggestion (talk about a contradiction in terms!) — an absurdity not even a rank tyro would be guilty of perpetrating, infinitely less so a critic of Ms. Midgette's skill and erudition — should have alerted one and all that the wording of those unfortunate grafs was merely a rare and uncharacteristic lapsus calami on Ms. Midgette's part, and let it go at that with perhaps an amused smile. No such common good sense. The loyal, devoted, and outraged NSO homies were out for blood, and would not be denied their full measure no matter the clear lapsus. So much for the (typical) discernment of blog commenters.

Champions of the idea of a return to the concert etiquette of the 18th and 19th centuries where the "regulated" audience practice was, for instance, to show approval by clapping between movements, are forever citing examples of famous composers of the time seemingly showing their pleasure in, even approval of, the practice, the point of adducing the examples being to convince us that if the practice was approved by composers such as those, then we should have no objection to, ought to even encourage, such practice today. But the examples adduced by these champions are totally specious, and citing them, the worst sort of sophistry. That, for instance, Brahms thought a new piano concerto of his a failure because instead of applause there was only silence after each of the first two movements, or that Mozart purposely wrote into a movement of a symphony certain passages calculated to provoke an audience to applause, and reveled in the success of that device, shows only that both composers were keenly aware of, and sensitive to, the prevailing concert etiquette of their respective times, and what was expected and when from an audience as a sign of its pleasure. The examples in no way demonstrate those composers' in-principle pleasure in, and approval of, that etiquette. It was simply a fact of musical life in those times, the consequence of largely musically ignorant and uncouth audiences, both aristocratic and bourgeois, and as working composers who depended on those audiences for their daily bread and cheese, Mozart and Brahms had little choice but to accept and play by the rules of that etiquette. Classical music critics writing today who champion such changes in our present-day classical music concert etiquette for the express purpose of making the classical music concert more inviting to, and comfortable for, the masses ... are simply as wrongheaded about the matter as they could possibly be, notwithstanding how well-intentioned their championing, and seem oblivious of the wholesale damage that would obtain were their proposals put into actual practice. One classical music critic [Mr. Ross, who was left unidentified in the original post] who champions such make-it-inviting-for-the-masses alterations to what he considers, generally, the ossified and elitist classical music promotion and concert practices of the present-day declares in hopeful metaphor, "When the age of the dinosaurs ends, the age of the mammals begins." I suggest that a better metaphor for what would obtain were the practices this critic and his like-minded colleagues champion put into actual practice would be what obtained on the island of Guam when the alien common brown tree snake was by error introduced into the environment, whereupon their numbers rapidly multiplied. In fairly short order, all native bird species on the island disappeared, their song silenced forever. Today, only the squawking of chickens and the hum and clatter of modern-day commerce prevail there.Mr. Ross's response to this (on his blog, The Rest Is Noise) and to others who joined the fray was,
There's [a] dark truth behind so-called concert etiquette. It lets audiences off the hook. Instead of delivering an informed, passionate reaction to each segment of the concert as it unfolds, they can sit in neutral silence until the end. A truly engaged audience would applaud warmly when it's called for, remain silent when applause is inappropriate, and boo when the performance falls obviously short.And that's essentially the same position Mr. Ross takes in his above linked piece for The Guardian although somewhat attenuated and more circumspect. Our response to that position is the same today as it was back in 2005; viz.,
I must say I agree with [Mr. Ross's] sentiment, and would even welcome such a practice in the concert hall. Problem is, it works properly only when an audience is made up entirely of the musically informed and knowledgeable; i.e., genuine connoisseurs. It most certainly does not work — cannot work — with a "mixed" audience where some or many are largely ignorant of classical music, or whose exposure to classical music has been of the superficial, cultural/social obligation sort; ergo, the tacit "rules of conduct" for the classical music concert audience. It's simply the most sensible way to go about the thing today, and speaks to the reality of present-day classical music concert audiences.

Notwithstanding my criticism, even excoriation, of "hardcore technical" analysis in such critical writing ... and my praise for "impressionistic" analysis ..., I agree there's room for both methods, and that a marriage of the two is desirable when handled in such a way as to serve a better understanding of the music under discussion rather than as things in themselves. It's just as egregious an error to wax over-the-top poetic in "impressionistic" analysis as it is to discourse in academic detail and at academic length in "hardcore technical" analysis of a piece of music, or to take the position, as did one academic musicologist, that the only way to analyze a piece of music is by means of "the dispassionate, the unbiased, the scientific, the musicological way." And what exactly do I mean when I say that "a marriage of the two is desirable when handled in such a way as to serve a better understanding of the music under discussion"? I mean that only when the "hardcore technical" is used to provide clarifying or illuminating concrete example of an "impressionistic" point made in general critical writing on music (as opposed to, say, critical writing for use in music theory courses or other specialist venues) is it being used as it ought to be used, and that its use in any other capacity in such critical writing is decidedly out of place, and hugely counterproductive.Given our clear antagonism toward technical critical writing about music for non-specialist audiences, why, then, did we find this by Mr. Adams on Sibelius's Sixth Symphony so utterly engaging? Because it's an exemplary instance of that marriage we spoke of above.
Until I got serious and really learned the piece last year, I could at best say I "recognized" Sibelius Six but never had a handle on it. It is among the most elusive pieces ever written. Much is made of its Dorian modality, and some writers correctly point out the dubious habit of saying the work is "in D minor", when at best we ought to say, as Lou Harrison did of one of his symphonies, that it is "on D" rather than "in D". But what no one I know has ever mentioned is how critical another chord is in this symphony — the half-diminished seventh (i.e. your fabled "Tristan chord"). It's the composer's special way of integrating the melancholy, resigned purity of the Dorian mode with the more emotionally dangerous and mercurial half-diminished chord that gives all late works of Sibelius their eerie moodiness. That is the case with the Seventh Symphony.... Arvo Pärt makes use of similar melancholy-saturated minor modes, but it's Sibelius's peculiar genius of mixing his with the more chromatically ambiguous diminished triads that makes his music both more evocative and less expressively monochrome. The Sixth Symphony opens with a simple, sustained counterpoint for strings alone. The first notes are played by the second violins in divisi, marked mezzo forte. That dynamic itself presages the many interpretive problems lying ahead. It would be easier if it were pianissimo or forte — no problem there. But MEZZO forte is so…blegh! What does he mean? And so much of the following music lies in that "mezzo" zone, including the tempi. The first movement is "Allegro molto moderato," (or "lively but only VERY moderately so). Many of the markings in this symphony are "poco," or "moderato," or "mezzo" this or "mezzo" that. The feeling is not unlike visiting a home where everyone talks in a grave, hushed whisper.It's been a half-century since we left conservatory where we "studied" harmony (the scare quotes because we mostly spent our classroom time there playing cut-throat Monopoly at the local cafeteria which was our hangout), and what we learned has grown severely arthritic due a half-century of disuse, but, still, we understood fully the sense of what Mr. Adams wrote, and, further, imagine it would be understood by any regular concertgoer or devoted classical music listener whether he'd studied music formally or not. But perhaps we imagine too much. RTWT here, and see what you think.

NYPL preview: ValleyCats look to pounce
Astros affiliate hopes to leverage winning ways; new skippers abound
By Craig Forde / Special to MiLB.com | June 12, 2014 10:00 AM ET
After their second New York-Penn League title in four seasons, the Tri-City ValleyCats are looking to continue their successes on and off the field with a championship brand that has satisfied both the Houston Astros organization and a loyal fan base for 12 seasons.
"There is a benefit to the following season," said Tri-City general manager Rick Murphy on building off a championship. "The old adage is 'Everyone likes a winner.' What we found after we won in 2010, we were fortunate enough to gain some momentum going into the 2011 season."
The momentum of any new season is enough to ride high at the start, but having the added bonus of being defending champs is something that's helping the ValleyCats stick to the philosophies of the parent club, stressing team success on top of development.
The talent-rich Astros prospects who will get the opportunity to play in Troy this season will also get the chance to hone their skills under manager Ed Romero, who returns for his second season at the helm.
"[Ed's a] former Major Leaguer -- he really understand what it takes to instill in the young ballplayer with what they need to do to play at the professional level. He understands matchups and the importance of player development."
For a franchise stuck somewhere deep in the midst of a Mets, Yankees, Red Sox triangle of fandom, selling the general public on an Astros farm team has been part of Tri-City's challenge over the years.
The ValleyCats have done a great job at putting themselves out there to promote the product, working endlessly in the community and continuously upgrading the experience for the fans.
"Our marketing strategy is that you can still have your loyalty to your Major League affiliate, but you can also be a ValleyCats fan," said Murphy.
This season the team will unveil a new, interactive video board and a portable wood-fired pizza oven that can produce personal pizzas in 90 seconds at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium. The ValleyCats are also going to increase their spotlight on the veterans of U.S. armed forces.
The anticipation and excitement of a new season will come to a head at Friday night's season opener against Connecticut, when the team will raise the championship flag and then begin their defense of it.
"I've been in the game 26 years, and my adrenaline starts flowing knowing we're opening up the season on Friday," said Murphy. "The reward is creating that memorable experience and seeing fans leave with a smile on their face, that's really what it's all about."
Influx of top talent expected: The league, as always, benefits from a pool of players either freshly selected in last week's First-Year Player Draft or prospects who have been working things out in extended spring training. This season's crop of incoming talent looks to include a much larger presence of prospects on their respective team's Top 20 list than in year's past.
On the pitching side of things, 2012 first-rounder Mitch Gueller (Phillies No. 18 prospect) could return to Williamsport after making 14 starts for the Crosscutters last season. Also, Sean Brady (Indians No. 17), Dillon Overton (A's No. 8), Stephen Tarpley (Orioles No. 10) and Jose Mujica (Rays No. 17) are strong candidates to be on their team's starting staffs.
In the positional player category, the likes of catcher Francisco Mejia (Indians No. 6), outfielder Cord Sandberg (Phillies No. 11) and shortstops Riley Unrue (Rays No. 16), Oscar Mercado (Cardinals No. 13) and Domingo Leyba (Tigers No. 7) are all on the table as options to represent their club in the short season.
Teams continue to round out their Opening Day rosters, but a great group of top prospects, including most if not all of the names mentioned, should be expected to play in the league this season.
More new faces: Along with the fleet of new young talent, the league will also welcome eight new managers to the mix this season. Slated to be the hitting coach for the Crosscutters, Shawn Williams was bumped up to the managerial position after Nelson Prada was promoted to Clearwater for the same position.
"I'm excited about returning to Williamsport and starting my managing career in a town that has such long baseball history and great fans," said Williams, who served as a coach for the club last season.
The Lowell Spinners are another of the eight teams to welcome a new manager, bringing in former World Series-winning catcher Joe Oliver to become the 11th skipper in franchise history.
"I'm very excited and appreciative to return to the game and begin this chapter, especially with Lowell," Oliver said in a press release.
Rounding out the rest of the new bench bosses are Brooklyn's Tom Gamboa, Connecticut's Mike Rabelo, Hudson Valley's Tim Parenton, Jamestown's Brian Esposito, Staten Island's Mario Garza and Vermont's Dave Newhan.
All-Star wonder wheels into Coney: The Brooklyn Cyclones and MCU Park will play host to the 10th annual New York-Penn League All-Star Game on Thursday, Aug. 19. It will be the second time that the league's midsummer classic has come to Coney Island, where the inaugural affair was held back in 2005.
"The New York-Penn League All-Star Game has always showcased the finest talent in professional baseball," said league president Ben Hayes. "The 2014 All-Star Game will be no different, except that it will also showcase one of the finest franchises in professional baseball."
Last things last: Here's a look at some significant lasts around the New York-Penn League.

During 1994-95, Pickton began incorporating the diverse sounds of British electronica with his first Stasis full-length, 1994's Inspiration. For a volume in the trip-hop label Mo' Wax's Excursions series, he issued a Stasis single which filtered a heavier jazz inspiration through the bounds of sublime Detroit techno. In 1995, Pickton formed his own Otherworld Records (with Teebrooke and Phenomyna releases) and recorded two projects with Mark Broom: as Kape Ill Miester for Pure Plastic and A13, and as Nine Machine for the American experimental label Plug Research. Pickton branced out with remixes for Repeat, Patrick Pulsinger's IO and Clatterbox. By 1996, he had released his second Stasis LP, From the Old to the New. The following year brought his most diverse recordings yet, on the Paul W. Teebrooke LP Connections. [See Also: Paul W. Teebrooke] ~ John Bush

Hassan Shibly, a leader of CAIR, a Muslim Brotherhood Islamic supremacist organization with ties to terror organizations, posted videos recently with instructions on how Muslims should respond to TSA agents when being questioned at airports.
Hassan was returning to the U.S. from Istanbul, Turkey on May 29, 2016 when he was taken aside for additional screening by a TSA agent. Now he is hoping to create a massive wave of complaints by Muslims against the U.S. government, claiming discrimination at airports. His intent is to create such a huge case that the U.S. will concede and grant special protection and accommodations to Muslims.
Some of the advice the CAIR leader gives to his fellow Muslims includes:
When a CBP agent asks you anything beyond identification tell the agent, "None of your Damn Business."
If you're being questioned and it's prayer time, stop everything, prostate yourself, and pray loudly… Brothers and Sisters must not skip their prayers.
Immediately call CAIR and file a complaint with us that you were targeted for inspection.
On behalf of CAIR, I will then file a 'Mass Discrimination Complaint' but I need your help to do it, so file a complaint because we need a lot of them to bring change and justice.

The story of Abigail and John Adams is as much a romance as it is a lively chapter in the early history of this country. The marriage of the second president and first lady is one of the most extraordinary examples of passion and endurance that this country has ever witnessed. And it is a drama peopled with a pantheon of eighteenth-century stars: George and Martha Washington, Thomas Jefferson, his daughter Patsy, Ben Franklin, and Mercy Otis Warren. --from publisher description.

Video was also a strong suit of the Exhilarate; the camera shoots in 720p HD video. Clips looked crisp and colorful. There wasn't any choppiness or blockiness, but if I fixed my gaze on the legs of a woman who was walking in the corner of the frame, her motions tended to blur together. Audio also sounded good and strong to my ears, without any extra whining. On the whole, I'm happy with daylight video on this phone. The Exhilarate has 2.5GB of user-accessible storage, and room for 32 extra gigabytes in the microSD card slot.
Call quality
I tested the quad-band Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate (GSM 850/900/1800/1900; LTE 700/1700) in San Francisco on AT&T's network. Call quality was decent, even pretty good. There was no background noise on my end and volume was pretty strong. However, there was a discernible amount of static when my regular test caller spoke, and his voice sounded thick and muddied, though natural. We were able to comfortably carry on several longer conversations.
On his end of the line, my calling partner thought I sounded a little unnatural and hollow, but very clear. Volume was also good, he said. However, more than once he mentioned that the Exhilarate cut off my higher frequencies, just like "an old military phone." That's a little before my time, but I'll take his word for it.
Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate call quality sample
Listen now:
Speakerphone was good when I held the phone at waist level. Volume was strong at maximum volume, and I could understand everything that my caller said when inside a relatively quiet office, but there were no volume reserves if I had to take the call out on the street, in a car loud with road noise, or in a busy newsroom. The phone also buzzed in my hand with the strength of the speakerphone; this effect was subtler at lower volumes. For his part, my test caller liked the sound of my voice over speakerphone and said I sounded very clear, though a bit indistinct, with roughly the same voice quality as the standard speaker.
LTE and processor
This is my favorite part of this review, because the Exhilarate was an absolute speed demon in San Francisco. It reached diagnostic speeds higher than I've seen on any other carrier or handset, and that's exciting for the phone, for the network, and for the future of the industry.
AT&T's Galaxy S3 was very fast, but the speeds on the Exhilarate blew it away. The diagnostic app Speedtest.net clocked speeds over 40Mpbs downlink four times, peaking at 54.43. Wow. The whiz consistently returned speeds in the 20s and 30s time after time, and the vast majority of speeds were in the double digits. Uplink speeds were also incredibly fast. There were some single-digit returns for 4Mbps and 7Mbps up, but many were in the midteens. I tested in a variety of neighborhoods.
One problem I had was that the app frequently crashed between the download and upload tests, citing a "network error." This happened so often, I reinstalled the app. It still occurred, which could indicate hiccups in AT&T's network, despite breathtaking speeds.
I also performed plenty of real-life tests, downloading apps and loading Web sites. The Exhilarate updated and installed 11 Google Play apps in just a few minutes. It also downloaded and installed the Riptide GP game (41.74MB) in 35.5 seconds; that corresponded with a comparatively lower SpeedTest score of 8.99Mbps down. CNET's mobile site loaded up in 3.3 seconds and 2.7 seconds from a clean, uncached browser, and the full desktop view completely loaded in a slower 33 seconds on the first try and 17.3 seconds on the second attempt.
The Exhilarate's 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 APQ8060 processor is no slouch. It did the trick serving up apps and letting me navigate around without delay.
Battery life and SAR
The Galaxy Exhilarate has a rated talk time of 7 hours and 10.4 days standby time on its 1,750mAh battery. I used the phone very heavily during my testing period, and noticed that it didn't last quite as long as other phones -- but it did last a lot longer than some other rival phones in the same category. We'll continue our battery drain tests and will update this section with those results.
Radio emissions are part of every phone, and the FCC requires all cell phones to emit fewer than 1.6 watts per kilogram. According to FCC tests, the Exhilarate has a digital SAR of 0.96 watt per kilogram.
The Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate started off looking good on paper, and got better and better throughout the course of my testing. I'm not sure if the handset is always faster than others, or if I got lucky with my review unit and testing pattern, but AT&T's LTE speeds were on fire. The screen, the processor, and the video deliver; and the price tag that's now 40 percent lower just keeps ratcheting up the value.
There are still trade-offs to be made. The Exhilarate isn't superlative in any category apart from LTE, and I was expecting more from the camera. The phone isn't fancy or slim, and there aren't as many bells and whistles as there are on a flagship phone like the Galaxy S3. Think of it as a really good midrange phone and you'll be happy. Otherwise, you may wind up frustrated at the good-but-not-great camera and a phone that could easily ride Gingerbread for some time.

Review in Barcelona Sergio Canales
Sergio Canales was on Thursday in Barcelona, in the doctor's Cugat, to undergo a small medical review a month after his speech in his right knee. The feelings are very positive moment and the player is slowly progressing in his recovery, which will now continue in Santander, until it joins the team's preseason, but just started working a few days before the club's physios, the next day on July 9. The player had surgery a second time of rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee last May 12. Since then not the first time he has been in the consulting physician, who has been on two other occasions to withdraw the stitches and staples and check the condition of the wound, and as the visit of yesterday everything has always been fully satisfying. The player is eager to be increasing workloads, this Thursday in twitter also wished luck to the Spanish team for the match against Ireland.

wow that's funny as i thought my post would be like the "last word" however there are two more pages afterwards. y'arr.
to the guy from illinois, yeah, check your local codes, however this whole thing is bootlegged in so isn't getting inspected. as for illinois being the better code i seriously doubt it. it is my understanding that for years and still currently, the city of Chicago has it's own code stating that Romex shall NOT be used in a house and that they are all wired in CONDUIT.
as for this welder thing. code or no code, one thing ALWAYS takes precidence, well, actually, this IS in the NEC, i just aint gonna take the time to find it, and that is this: Manufactures instructions must be followed. period.
also, even if you don't have aluminum service entrance conductors going into your panel, i will bet you my bottom dollar that the Power Companys service drop wires from the transformer are AL. all you have to do is see if the wires coming down from the sky are smaller, MUCH smaller, than the ones after the butt splice to the wires coming out of the service mast. (even if they are both aluminum they are)
just fyi, i have an arc welder. stick, right. and i have used it hard wired into a 30A 2 pole breaker and used it to build my truck chassis and it never tripped. however i never did use an amp meter on it to see if it was getting hot or not. i think in your case you will be okay. just don't quote me if your house burns down. hahahaha. one thing that has always puzzled me is why you have to have a certain amperage circuit, say 20 amps, and when you get into the fixture or appliance you have like 16 ga wire or 18 ga. it would figure those things wouldn't need any more than the internal wires inside are good for, wouldn't it? peace out

Murdoch Sorry For Anti-Israel Cartoon
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch publicly apologized Monday for the publication of a cartoon in one of his British newspapers critical of Israel, which critics blasted as "anti-Semitic."
The cartoon, printed in The Sunday Times of London, shows Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu building a wall out of the blood and body parts of Palestinians. Its tagline read, "Israel elections. Will cementing the peace continue?," a reference to the controversial barrier wall Israel has built between itself and the West Bank.
The caricature of Netanyahu also evoked some of the more anti-Semitic portrayals of Jews in the past, which was noted by Stephen Pollard, the editor of Britain's Jewish Chronicle, and Board of Deputies of British Jews.
Publishing of the cartoon in The Sunday Times of London was unusual for the paper, which has normally been very supportive of Israel's security concerns. It took an even more offensive tone, as it was put out on International Holocaust Rememberance Day.
The the main representative body for British Jews filed a complaint with the Press Complaints Commission, the body by which British newspapers regulate themselves, saying the cartoon "is shockingly reminiscent of the blood libel imagery more usually found in parts of the virulently anti-Semitic Arab press."
Israeli columnist Anshel Pfeffer defended the cartoon in a piece for Haaretz, writing, "Should The Sunday Times have not published the cartoon on International Holocaust Memorial Day? Only if one believes that is a day in which Israeli politicians have immunity from being caricatured."
Simon Kelner of the UK Independent also defended the cartoon as legitimate political commentary, adding that as a Jew, he was not offended by it.
"I believe that the state of Israel has a right to exist, but I think the monstrous injustice that has been visited on the Palestinian people shames the civilised world," Kelner wrote. "So I'm afraid I see any attack on Israeli actions through this particular prism."
Murdoch took to his Twitter profile to issue his apology.
"Gerald Scarfe has never reflected the opinions of the Sunday Times," he wrote. "Nevertheless, we owe major apology for grotesque, offensive cartoon.
Gerald Scarfe, the illustrator of the cartoon, apologized and defended himself from accusations of anti-Semitism in a statement on his website.
"First of all I am not, and never have been, anti-Semitic," Scarfe wrote. "The Sunday Times has given me the freedom of speech over the last 46 years to criticize world leaders for what I see as their wrongdoings.
"This drawing was a criticism of Netanyahu, and not of the Jewish people: there was no slight whatsoever intended against them. I was, however, stupidly completely unaware that it would be printed on Holocaust Day, and I apologize for the very unfortunate timing."
Martin Ivens, the acting editor of The Sunday Times, plans to meet with British Jewish leaders on Tuesday to apologize in person for the cartoon.
This is the second time Murdoch has been forced to apologize for perceived anti-Semitism. Last November, he tweeted, "Why Is Jewish owned press so consistently anti- Israel in every crisis?," which drew sharp criticism. He apologized on the social networking website the next day.
