I printed off a picture of the house on colored transparency paper. You could also use frosted paper.
To get the picture not to move around, I punched a little hole at the top and pulled a string through the top to hold it up.

GREAT idea!!! I have dozens of clear ornaments! My daughter just moved into her 'Forever Home.' This will be THE perfect ornament for her tree this year. I always give her one plus the collection I made as she was growing up. A turtle sandbox, piano, etc......a whole collection of memories! Thank you so much for this great idea!
That is awesome!

For now, I do the following:
-200g of Jamila Henna (but will probably start experimenting with Yemen)
-1.5 cups of warm (not hot) green tea
-2 tablespoons of honey
I mix them all together and apply immediately. I sleep in my henna and it stays on for a total of 12 hours. I get great results with this mix-- easy to apply, rinse, and leaves me with super shiny, smooth, elongated curls.
What's your favorite mix??

4 affordable guitar amp combos for the road (£373-£665)
Gagging to start gigging? Then you'll need a serious guitar amp. Here are four mid-price, roadworthy amplifiers that'll take you all the way to Wembley…
You wouldn't go to war with a water pistol. You wouldn't take a tennis ball to a test match. And unless you want to be eaten alive by the mob, you wouldn't pitch up on the modern club circuit with your trusty five-watt 'Bedsit Baby' practice amp.
With album sales down, but live music booming, the fledgling rock band of 2010 spends far more time on the motorway than kicking back at Abbey Road, meaning that a serious amp with gig-friendly features should be at the top of your shopping list.
For this round-up, we're rolling out the big guns. Of course, they've all got a bit of grunt, but with most serious live venues supplying a PA, that wasn't our only consideration.
Instead of going for the predictable quartet of stacks, then, we've picked out four big-brand combos that will hopefully meet the other key demands of the travelling guitarist; tone that will seduce the sceptics, features we can get to work in the dark, cabinets that will keep rocking when the lager starts to fly, change from £1000…
First choice was the Marshall MA50C (£548), with an all-valve format that makes our palms sweat just thinking about it. Kirk Hammett's signature solid-state Randall KH75 (£373) starts the test as the dark horse, while Peavey's Vypyr Tube 120 (£645) would have us believe that it's big and clever. Bringing up the rear, the 'F' word is back, with Fender's valve-powered Deluxe VM amp (£665) facing a battle to justify its hefty outlay. Testing, testing, 1-2-3…
First up: Randall KH75 price and spec
Randall KH75 specifications
Price: £373
Type: Solid-state combo

Controls: Channel, dual EQ, volume, gain select, gain x 2, contour, reverb,
Connections: In, speaker out, FX loop, CD in, footswitch (included), phones
Weight: 25kg
Dimensions: (H x W x D): 545 x 780 x 353mm

Randall KH75 review
Yeah, we know: valves rule. But a solid-state Randall amp was good enough for Dimebag Darrell, and now it's good enough for Kirk Hammett's signature series, with the tube-free, wallet-friendly KH75 promising us all the blood and thunder of Death Magnetic.
The only sticking point is that Kirk doesn't actually play one himself, preferring to luxuriate with the all-tube RM100KH stack. Hmm.
At £373, you can't expect the finery of Kirk's head (no plug-in preamp modules here). Instead, we've got a loud, tough and straightforward combo that's a little dull until you fire it up. Clean has never been Randall's strong suit, and while it's decent, this channel is where you'll miss the valves most; it just doesn't respond like the others.
All is good when you switch to the dark side, though, with dual gain stages giving you: a) the thrashy crunch of Kirk's rhythm parts; and b) the brittle menace of his lead, bringing authenticity to your versions of Metallica's riffs.

Randall KH75 verdict
Contrary to popular belief, solid-state doesn't mean 'lame'; this sort of amp is just aimed at a different type of player. The KH75 might not be your dream choice for the studio but it's perfect for the road, pumping out enough power to hit the back wall, delivering two watertight metal tones and soaking up more abuse than its pampered valve-powered rivals into the bargain.
And if you're a young metaller gigging your way up the greasy pole, you might argue that nothing else matters.
4 out of 5
Pros: Exceptional value, versatile gain.
Cons: Doesn't respond like valves.
Buy: Randall KH75 is currently available from Thomann

Peavey Vypyr Tube 120 specifications
Price: £645
Type: Hybrid combo
Output: 120 watts

Effects: 24 amp models, 22 effects, looper, 12 presets
Valves: 6L6
Controls: Amp, FX, gain, EQ, volume, tap tempo
Connections: Input, USB, CD in, speaker out, footswitch
Weight: 34kg
Dimensions: (H x W x D) 500 x 660 x 280mm
Next: Peavey Vypyr Tube 120 review
Peavey Vypyr Tube 120 review
Amp snobs get confused by the Vypyr. They clock the amp sims, rack effects, stompbox mimicry and onboard looper, and dismiss it as another modelling amp for toilet circuit cover bands. Then they spin it around, spot the genuine 6L6 power tubes ablaze in the back, and start to drool uncontrollably. A digital front end with a valve power section - there's an idea.
First impression of the Vypyr: it's a riot. The presets make it easy to get rocking, but there's also scope to tweak parameters, save bespoke sounds, set up a rhythm loop and jam along to it (though to get the most from it, you'll need £145 for the Sanpera II footswitch).
Second impression: it's loud, pumping an earth-shaking 120 watts through twin speakers. Peavey doesn't specify what amps/effects are modelled, but you don't have to be a detective. Are they totally faithful to the originals? If you're a gear anorak, you might say 'not quite', but the man in the moshpit won't question them.

Peavey Vypyr Tube 120 verdict
By the time you've got the amp and footswitch, the Vypyr is nudging a grand. It's serious money, and players who know what sound they're after might do better committing to a more specialist amp.
But for bread and butter giggers who don't want a 'trademark' tone on the road, this amp is well worth the wedge.
4 out of 5
Pros: Fun, ace features, great tone.
Cons: Expensive, jack of all trades.

Next: Fender Deluxe VM review
Fender Deluxe VM review
Even if you could find a '65 Blackface Deluxe, you'd be dreading the damage it might be caused every time your Transit goes over a pothole. Best to investigate Fender's 'Vintage Modified' model, which fuses all-tube innards with a fistful of digital effects. Fender sees it as the "perfect grab-and-go rig for club dates and weekend jams." Guess they haven't tried lifting it…
Mindful of Keith Richards' advice that Fender amps complement Fender guitars, we strapped on a Tele and was blown sideways by the class of the clean channel. If you've ever questioned the fuss that surrounds valves, five minutes immersed in this rich, shimmering, responsive tone will make you a card-carrying convert, especially if you add a twist of the glorious reverb.
Apart from chorus (still too '80s-sounding, we're afraid) the effects are top-quality and go some way to justify the round-ups highest price tag. But while the overdrive channel is magic for moderate rock, it doesn't quite match the warmth and whisky breath of the Marshall.
Next: Fender Deluxe VM verdict
Fender Deluxe VM verdict
Every amp here has its strengths, and the Deluxe VM comes within a whisker of snatching gold with a clean channel that makes you sound like a star, a small bag of top-drawer effects, and the second-best gain channel in town.
There's nothing to criticise here apart from in relative terms, and for that reason, it gets the full five stars.
5 out of 5
Pros: Mind-blowing clean channel.
Cons: Most expensive in the test.

Next: Marshall MA50C review
Marshall MA50C review
Godfather of Loud, Jim Marshall, could just build stacks for rock's glitterati, but he hasn't forgotten the little man, envisaging the MA Series as "simple, roadworthy, all-valve amps for budget-conscious guitarists." The MA50C combo is built in Vietnam to save costs, while retaining the classic dual-channel format.
You can always tell a great valve amp: it has zilch features. Aside from boost, reverb and resonance/presence dials, the MA50C is stripped of fripperies and trades off its tone. Tested clean with a humbucker guitar, it has a punchy, full-body sparkle.
But the overdrive channel is where it excels; the pairing of ECC83/EL34 valves gives a classic roar that's warm and ragged, and maintains searing clarity for solos, especially with the boost. The key difference between valve and solid-state is that here, the tone comes from your hands, with the MA50C bringing mood to your playing.
Next: Marshall MA50C verdict
Marshall MA50C verdict
An all-valve Marshall is a schoolboy fantasy, and the MA50C makes it flesh. The Peavey is cleverer, the Randall costs less, and the Fender has the superior clean channel, but this is the perfect choice for firing out Zeppelin riffs and bottom-heavy blues.
The only criticism? Marshall's claims of 'modern metal' aren't quite delivered on; if you want to sound like Slipknot, you might need to try an additional overdrive pedal.
5 out of 5
Pros: Classic Marshall gain, great value.
Cons: Distortion could be heavier.
Buy: Marshall MA50C is currently available from Andertons Music Co., Thomann, Hartnoll Guitars and PMT Online

I am all about authentic assessments. I want to peer into the child's mind and see what she or he really understands about a concept that I have taught. However, one of the drawbacks to this is TIME. It takes time to check work and make comments and provide appropriate feedback. Right?
This fall I was introduced to a new element of formative instruction that will be implemented in all the FOSS 3rd edition NEW units. I sat with my jaw wide open as I thought...this is what I've been waiting for. So let me tell you how it's done!
Step one: When you are teaching a lesson, pick out one or two main concepts that you want them to understand. Write them on the sheet I have provided for FREE in google docs. (right under the Teachers Pay Teachers link)
Step two: Design in your lesson a way for the students to explain what they learned at the end of the day. Suggestions include: answer the focus question based on what you learned today, do a 3,2,1 reflection, a reflection such as Today I learned.... (make sure you tell them to write about the concept you are checking) or a simple Quick Write to explain the concept.
Step Three: After teaching the lesson, have the students turn in their science notebooks open to the page they were working on. Research has shown that this saves 25 minutes of teacher time - looking for the correct page to check! I also make sure that I have all journals turned in before I grade. This is important for the next step.
Step Four: Read the reflection pieces. If the student "gets it", then you only need to mark with a check. If they do not get it, then you write down what they made an error on so that you can get in touch with them tomorrow and clear up the misunderstanding.
The Formative Assessment sheet will look like this:
Quick check Assessment for Science Notebooks
A force can be a push or a pull
Got it!
Needs support
Brian – forces can only be a push
Cindy – pushes cause the force
I absolutely love this formative assessment technique because it keeps me on track. I am able to check in with kids who may not understand a lesson quickly instead of waiting until the final test to see they didn't get it at all.
I have used this technique in Math, Reading, and Social Studies as well. It is a great way to keep track of your student's learning in all subjects.

While serving as NFL vice president of officiating, Mike Pereira answered the phone one day and heard the indignant voice of his father, a former official in the Stockton area.
"He told me, 'Your officials are terrible. We were better when I was doing college football,' " Pereira said.
Criticizing officials is much a part of the weekly routine as fantasy football. Calls are analyzed and scrutinized in print and broadcast media, with social media adding a more heated and partisan level of scorn.
Game-changing mistakes, problems with procedure regarding instant replay and a need for full-time officials remain topics of debate.
49ers fans are still talking about two calls in the 23-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship game. Late in the third quarter, Seattle safety Chris Maragos hit the plant leg of 49ers punter Andy Lee, a clear 15-yard penalty for roughing the kicker.
Instead, the flag was for running into the kicker, a 5-yard penalty which failed to get the 49ers a first down. They declined the penalty, with the Seahawks taking possession and driving 62 yards for a touchdown and a 20-17 lead.
A short time later, 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman stripped and recovered a fumble from Seahawks wide receiver Jermaine Kearse. Instead, the ball was awarded to Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch.
The play was moot — the Seahawks lost a fumble on the next play — but the hole in the officiating system was undeniable. Under NFL rules, neither the Lee nor Bowman plays were eligible to be reviewed on replay.
Other than three feet of snow, the NFL's nightmare scenario for Super Bowl XLVIII would be the Seahawks or Denver Broncos hoisting the Lombardi Trophy with the help of an error in officiating.
Former Raiders coach and NFL analyst John Madden, speaking of the officiating on Sirius XM Radio, said, "It wasn't good and it hasn't been good all year."
NFL senior vice present of officiating Dean Blandino believes the obvious mistakes overshadow solid officiating.
"We analyze some 40,000 plays during the season and our accuracy percentage is actually higher than last season," Blandino said. "Whenever you have high-profile situations where we got some mistakes, it creates more controversy, more interest, and I think that's kind of where we've been this year. The media has jumped on those situations but I think overall the officiating has been good."
Jim Tunney, an NFL official from 1960-91 who works as an observer for the league, cited the accuracy rate at "between 96 and 97 percent." He said officiating is better because of technology.
"We watched our film on a Bell and Howell projector on six reels, sometimes using a bed sheet on a wall," Tunney said. "Now every Tuesday, every official in the league can call up a file that has every holding penalty from every game on Sunday."
Pereira, who left the NFL in 2009 and went to Fox Sports as an analyst breaking down officiating, remembers telling his father to pull out his old film, see the number of officials out of position and take into account the ease with which a mistake is exposed in the current set-up.
"There are upwards of 30 cameras in a game. Everything is in super slow motion," Pereira said. "Everything is so difficult. If you were to take the chronic complainer and put him at field level and make him watch plays at real time, life would be a blur. There are mistakes, but there also some amazing calls."
Mistakes such as the Bowman and Lee plays often are the impetus for rule changes, a process which begins with questionnaires to each team and goes to the competition committee in the March owners meeting.
At the owners meeting, changes are debated, individual teams lobby with other teams, and a vote is taken. Changes made by the competition committee are almost always voted in by ownership, with nine negative votes needed to prevent passing.
Blandino has an extensive background in replay, and it appears likely the use of replay will increase. One possibility is moving replay away from the field and into the press box with a final say at the NFL offices in New York.
"I think we're headed that way," said ESPN analyst Andrew Brandt, a former front office executive with the Green Bay Packers. "There seems to be a groundswell. The reason replay came in to begin with was to get it right, the game-changing call. Now we've got game-changing calls we can't get right because replay doesn't allow it.
"I think we're going to be hearing more about centralized replay, like hockey has and baseball is talking about. I would think that would be a trend."
Pereira also thinks a centralized replay system is possible but warned replay, instituted in 1999, will never eliminate mistakes.
Neither will making NFL officials full time, although the league plans on phasing in some. Unlike the NBA or Major League Baseball, most NFL officials have other jobs. There is currently only one fulltime official.
Referee Gene Steratore, who presided over the 49ers-Seahawks NFC Championship game, worked two Division I college basketball games during the week.
Both Blandino and Pereira were of the opinion working basketball and making decisions would only enhance his skill to call football, and not detract from it.
With so many part-time officials, it seems an entire crew of fulltime officials is unlikely in the near future.
"We're going to see what makes the most sense," Blandino said. "Is it a specific position? Should it be the referee? Can we have multiple fulltime officials across all positions? Any time you can spend more time honing your craft, certainly there's value there."
Pereira is in favor of making all 17 referees fulltime, rather than one at each of the seven positions (referee, umpire, head linesman, line judge, back judge, field judge, side judge).

Five cards are shown, each with a picture of a ball from 5 different sports. Baseball, Football, Pool Ball, Tennis Ball and a Basketball. The magician snaps the chosen card and the picture magically jumps off of the card. Where the picture was, the card is now blank. A real ball ends up in your spectator's hand or bouncing off the table!
Special gaffed cards make the handling easy. The force is simple, deceptive and well motivated.
You can perform "Sports" strolling or at a table. It resets easily and is very practical. Dean's handling of the ball production is fantastic. He offers a basic method which is very easy but extremely effective. He also gives alternative handling the pros are sure to appreciate! Included:

Letterpress, the popular word game that won runner-up in Apple's 2012 iPhone Game of the Year category, has been updated with the ability to share replays of your completed games to Twitter, Facebook, Mail, Messages, or simply copy the link to share wherever you want.
When I first heard about the new replay feature, my initial reaction was "meh", but now that I've seen it, I think it's kind of cool. It simply displays the game with a "slide to play" element that let's you progress through the game one turn at a time. The words that are played are also displayed at the bottom. The only thing missing is the score of the game after each turn. I really hope that gets added in a future update. To see the example of a replay, click here to watch a game I just finished. You can view replays on your iPhone, iPad, or computer.
Some of the other changes included in this Letterpress update include a bunch of little tweaks, an improved dictionary, better handling of orientation changes on the iPad, and a clarification of what "prefix" means in the rules. atebits also reminds players that "Christmas" is a proper noun and thus not a valid Letterpress word. He also threatens to monetize our eyeballs in the release notes (jokingly of course!).
Some features I'd like to see in the future include in-game chat and the ability to save a small list of words that I may want to play in a future turn. iMore's Editor-in-chief, Rene, disagrees with me on the latter, however, and says it would be cheating! So, I want to know your opinion on the matter. Is the ability to store words in-brain a key component to Letterpress, or do you think being allowed to save a few words would improve the game?
What do you think about the update? Planning to use the replay feature to show of your skills? What other features would you like to see added to Letterpress?

Sometimes there is so much to write about a place that it seems better to say less than ignorantly talk beyond what you understand. This is my experience with Cambodia. In three and a half days I only caught a glimpse of something, and although I will recite their most basic history, I'm not by any means educated on the subject and don't pretend to understand what happened or why. Cambodia is a place with a deep and turbulent past ranging from an empire and culture that surpassed European contemporary societies cities during it's height, to a genocidal restructuring of the entire population during the 1970's by a Marxist madman. I came to the city of Siem Reap to visit the temples of Angkor built during the height of the Khmer empire between the years of 802 and 1431. These have been repeatedly called the 8th wonder of the world, and I think it would be hard to argue against that after spending time here.
I almost immediately realized however that the contrast between my quick stop off tourism and the lives and history of the people was not something I could glance over. I was very affected by the glimpse I saw of people's lives, and the conversations I had. The affects of the highs and lows are in full view here. The people exhibit a reserved pride. They are a young population with few elder mentors as the previous generation was greatly decimated along with many direct links to their cultural past, and clear pathways to an economic future. 30 years on and the country is recovering, but poverty is common, as are the effects of the wars and their devices (I saw many people with limbs missing presumably from landmines). Commerce and industry are returning to Cambodia, but far behind it's neighbors Thailand, Vietnam, and China. What I observed were a lot of people who worked very hard to educate themselves and often were not able to afford the education they needed. Learning English seemed to be the primary first step in this process for many people. They are well aware of the progress of the world around them and want the same for themselves.
As for the temples, they were all they promised to be. Rather than attempt to see dozens (of the over 200) temples, I only visited 4 and spent many hours at each one, often sitting in one spot for an extended period and studying details. This was a great way to meet people as well. Tour groups would come through and then there would be periods of solitude. A lot of people said "hello" to see what I was doing stopping as groups or as individuals. I was continually reminded of how great of a tool that drawing can be to open doors to communication. I'm also learning how useful it is to be able to say "hello" and "thank you" in as many languages as possible. They are simple and appreciated gestures. I hope very much I can return here and spend more time in the country beyond the temples, but I was in awe of what I did see and humbled by the resolve of the Cambodian people.

Arthur Sullivan
Birth: May 13, 1842 in London, England
Death: November 22, 1900 in London, England
In the minds of many, he is inseparable from librettist W.S. Gilbert, yet in his own time Arthur Sullivan was known for his serious music as much as for comic opera. Sullivan was the son of a bandmaster and was encouraged to pursue his musical talent as a boy. Arthur could play every instrument in the military band by the age of eight and also joined the choir of the Chapel Royal. At 14, he won the Mendelssohn Scholarship at the Royal Academy, and in 1858 went to study in Leipzig, where his teachers included Ignaz Moscheles and Julius Rietz. In April 1862 his music to Shakespeare's The Tempest was performed at one of the celebrated Crystal Palace Saturday concerts. It was an immediate and enormous success - so much so that a repeat performance had to be given the following week. In 1864, Sullivan became the organist at Covent Garden, where his ballet L'île enchantée had its premiere. Commissions began to emerge, and 1866 saw the first performances of his Cello Concerto and Symphony, as well as the overture In Memoriam, the composer's outpouring of grief at the death of his father. In 1867, he collaborated with Francis Cowley Burnand on two operettas, Cox and Box and The Contrabandista. In 1869, Sullivan produced his first large-scale sacred work, the hour-long oratorio The Prodigal Son, for the Three Choirs Festival at Worcester. The peace cantata On Shore and Sea and a massive Festival Te Deum to commemorate the recovery of the Prince of Wales from typhoid, led to The Light of the World, a full-length oratorio telling the story of the life of Christ. Sullivan also composed for the stage during this period, writing incidental music for productions of The Merchant of Venice and The Merry Wives of Windsor and, also collaborating with William Schwenck Gilbert on a Christmas novelty, Thespis, for John Hollingshead's Gaiety Theatre. The piece was moderately successful, but not enough for its creators to continue working together immediately. In 1875, however, the theater manager Richard D'Oyly Carte reunited the two to craft an afterpiece for a production of Offenbach's La Périchole. The result was Trial By Jury, a pithy satire of the judicial system. It proved so successful that this time the partnership continued. Gilbert and Sullivan's first two-act work for Carte, The Sorcerer, appeared in 1877 and new operas followed roughly annually until 1889: H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, Patience, Iolanthe, Princess Ida, The Mikado, Ruddigore, The Yeomen of the Guard, and The Gondoliers. During the run of Patience, Carte moved his company from the Opera Comique to the Savoy; from then on, Gilbert and Sullivan's operas became collectively known as Savoy Operas. In these operas, Sullivan's unfailing sense of musical parody perfectly matched Gilbert's witty social satire. A quarrel broke up the team but they reconciled and G & S wrote two more operas, Utopia Ltd and The Grand Duke. But these failed to catch on and the partnership ended permanently. In 1880 Sullivan was appointed conductor of the Leeds Triennial Musical Festival. For Leeds he wrote his two most famous and successful choral works: the sacred musical drama The Martyr of Antioch and the cantata The Golden Legend. The success of the Legend was so great in Sullivan's lifetime that it was second in popularity only to Handel's Messiah and the composer actually took steps to suppress performances to prevent the piece from becoming a cliché. One of his best known compositions in his day was The Lost Chord, a song to a text by Adelaide Proctor written at the time of his brother Fred's untimely death. Sullivan was acclaimed for his oratorios, including The Prodigal Son, and hymns, of which Onward, Christian Soldiers was and remains particularly popular. In 1883, Queen Victoria rewarded Sullivan for his services to English music with a knighthood. But, Sullivan's greatest ambition was to compose grand opera. Carte, wishing to establish an English opera tradition, built the English Opera House, and here Sullivan's opera Ivanhoe, to a libretto by Julian Sturgis, premiered in 1891. After initial success - 155 successive shows - the opera fell out of favor and remained Sullivan's only attempt at grand opera. A professionally produced performance of that work has only just been released on compact disc by Chandos Records. Sullivan never married, but carried on a discreet relationship with an American-born woman Mary Frances (Fanny) Ronalds until his death in London in 1900. His own wish to be buried with his beloved parents and brother in Brompton Cemetery was over-ridden by the Queen, who commanded that he be laid to rest in St. Paul's after what amounted to a state funeral.

Joseph Joachim Raff
Birth: May 27, 1822 in Lachen, Switzerland
Death: June 24, 1882 in Frankfurt, Germany
An essentially self-taught musician Raff was a prolific composer who wrote in almost every musical genre including symphonies, operas, choral music, concertos, suites, overtures, quintets, quartets, and solo piano. His father, Joseph, was an organist, music teacher and schoolmaster. Joseph was sent to the Rottenberg Gymnasium in his father's native Württemberg to study philosophy, philology and mathematics before financial pressures forced his return to Switzerland. He finished his education with two years at the Jesuit Seminary in Schwyz, where he won prizes in German, Latin and mathematics. As a child, Raff had already shown great natural talent as a pianist, violinist and organist. Having taught himself the rudiments of music, he began to compose. Raff's early works found their way to Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, who was sufficiently impressed to recommend them to his publisher, Breitkopf & Härtel. Encouraged by this success, Raff gave up his teaching job and moved to Zürich in 1844 to start a career as a composer. He endured poverty in Zürich, but his great opportunity came when he learned of an appearance by his idol Franz Liszt on June 19, 1845 in Basle, some 50 miles away. Determined to hear Liszt play but being unable to pay the fare to Basle, Raff walked there from Zürich through driving rain. He arrived just as the concert was about to begin to find that all the tickets were sold. Luckily Liszt's secretary noticed the dejected, disappointed Raff and told Liszt, who decided not only that Raff should be admitted, but insisted that he should sit on the stage with him amidst a widening pool of water from his wet clothes. Raff would accompany Liszt on the remainder of his tour through southern Germany and the Rhineland, with Raff making the concert arrangements. When the tour ended, Liszt found Raff a job in Cologne selling pianos and music scores, and later musical positions in Hamburg and Weimar. Despite working for Liszt, Raff's financial affairs continued to worsen and he eventually spent several weeks in jail for an old Swiss debt. During the Weimar years, Raff continued to write much piano music, but gradually his works became more ambitious. He was even able to have his first opera King Alfred performed three times in Weimar's Hoftheater, though with no great success. While in Weimar, Raff wrote his famous book "The Wagner Question" which addressed the issues raised by Wagner's then revolutionary approach to music drama. Gradually Raff distanced himself from the Liszt/Wagner School and focused on a mission to combine the best of their styles with a more academic regard for the forms and traditions of the past such as counterpoint, fugue and sonata form. In 1853 Raff met his future wife Doris Genast, the actress daughter of Eduard Genast, the director of Weimar's court theatre and a friend of Liszt. Raff left Weimar in 1856 with his fiancée Doris to Wiesbaden where she had some acting engagements. After all the tumult, poverty and obscurity of the first half of his life, Joachim Raff's final 26 years were altogether calmer and marked by growing fame and recognition. He set himself up in Wiesbaden as a piano teacher and Doris, whom he married in 1859, started the process of improving Raff's chaotic financial affairs. His larger scale compositions were beginning to attract audiences, helped by his friend Hans von Bülow, who championed the Konzertstück Ode to Spring, and by successful performances of King Alfred in Wiesbaden in 1860. Raff's breakthrough as a composer came with first prize in an 1863 competition organized by the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. Raff's Symphony #1 was preferred over 32 other entries by such eminent composers as Hiller, Reinecke and Volkmann. His symphonies were listened to with great respect and, of these, the third and fifth symphonies were amongst the most popular during the second half of the century. His chamber works were also praised, but the most played work, was the Cavatina - the third of the Six Pieces Op. 85. Though originally written for violin and piano it was subjected to innumerable arrangements. The only works of his with which he did not have much success were his operas. Of the six, only King Alfred and the comic piece Dame Kobold were performed. But Raff was not without his critics. Their main complaint was that he wrote too much and was not self-critical. He was accused of being an eclectic whose style was a synthesis of other composers' styles rather than being his own. Raff could be a blunt and tactless person, who enjoyed argument and confrontation. He did little to placate his critics and with growing success tended to become arrogant. In 1877, Raff was appointed to a ten-year term as the first director of the newly opened Hoch Conservatory in nearby Frankfurt, having been preferred over such illustrious younger candidates as Brahms and Rheinberger. The family moved to Frankfurt, where Raff spent the rest of his life. Raff died at 60 of a heart attack after several months of illness brought on by his heavy workload.
June 17
Charles Gounod
Birth: June 17, 1818 in Paris, France
Death: October 18, 1893 in Saint-Cloud, France
Gounod was the son of a draftsman father and a pianist mother, who was Charles' first piano teacher. While still in his youth she arranged for him to receive composition lessons from Anton Reicha. After Reicha's death, Gounod began studies at the Paris Conservatory, where he won the Prix de Rome in 1839 for his Cantata Fernand. After two years of composition studies in Rome, where he focused 16th century church music, particularly the works of Palestrina, he became deeply interested in religion and by 1845 was contemplating the priesthood. Though he would eventually reject the idea and marry, he remained devout throughout his life and wrote many sacred works, including his most popular, the Saint Cecilia Mass. Gounod also wrote two charming symphonies, which gained some attention. Gounod wrote his first opera, Sappho, in 1851, but had no great success until Faust in 1859. This remains his best-known work. The romantic and highly melodious Roméo et Juliette premiered in 1867, also remains in the repertoire. From 1870-1875 Gounod lived in England to escape the Franco-Prussian War. In his years there and in the period following his return to France, Gounod wrote much music, especially choral music. He also devoted himself to chamber music, composing four string quartets. Among his more compelling and imaginative late works is the 1885 Petite Symphonie for winds. Except for concertos, he composed music in the major genres. Stylistically, he was a conservative whose influence nevertheless extended to Bizet, Saint-Saëns, and Massenet. Though his reputation began to fade even before he died, he is still generally regarded as a major figure in 19th century French music.

Words: Carson Schubert
With a mantra like 100% Snowboarding and Authorized Awesome™ there is no wonder why heaps of campers flock to Government Camp, Oregon to partake in what is without a doubt the best 8 days of their year. Many of these miniature humans have spent the entire winter begging their parents to come to camp. When they finally pass through the golden gates of summer snowboarding there is a good chance they may wet their pants while screaming at the top of their lungs with a Cobra Dog in one hand and a Volcano Cone in the other. Yes, that's how amazing High Cascade Snowboard Camp is every year and this is the year to top them all.
Session One came hot out the gates with snowboard legends JP Walker, Jeremy Jones, Seth Huot, Hana Beaman, and Robin Van Gyn as High Cascades Signature Session™ pros. All of them spent their week in Govy shredding the mini-pipe by day and battling face-to-face in donut eating contests by night (special shout-out to the camper who put down six donuts in two and a half minutes).
In addition to the Signature Sessioners™ many other High Cascade favorites could be found shredding the facilities. Jed Anderson put an absolute beating on the skate park along with Austin Smith and Sage Kotsenburg sending on-hill jumps deeper than the Pacific. That was just the beginning; with the slight turn of a head one could find Spencer Schubert doing never-been-done tricks on the rail line, Jaeger Bailey and Jonathan McDonald crushing the medium jump and Mike Ravelson was letting 'em know how to hand plant on the Quarter Pipe/Hip feature.
A wee bit of rain didn't stop the fun as Activity day gave the campers a chance to buy some somewhat-fresh threads from the thrift store or skate the super-exclusive Nike indoor skate park with JP, Jeremy, Seth, and Johnny O'Conner. If skating or thrifting weren't your forte than campers also had the option of white water rafting down the Deschutes River.
Unfortunately all good things come to an end. After a hefty giveaway raffle and session video premier campers headed back to their chalets and started crossing off the days until next year. Luckily for High Cascade things are just getting started and the rest of a ripping summer lies ahead with more pros, activities and much more fun to come.
