Prom 9: The Boulez Guide
Twitter leads the way through Dérive 2
Barenboim and Beethoven might be the headline names, but at the first of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra's Proms, it was Boulez who grabbed the limelight.
At least that was the impression I got, listening at home on the radio, and following along on Twitter. And if that sounds like I wasn't concentrating properly, then you're partly right. While both my ears were tuning in to Boulez's jittery, glittery Dérive 2, I was also busy reading a real-time guide to this complex, lengthy work for 11 instruments, in the hope of understanding just what I was meant to be focusing on. Let me explain how.
Tom Service, classical music critic for The Guardian and presenter of Radio 3's Music Matters, had put together a series of 140-character snippets to hold listeners' hands through Boulez's score. As the piece unfolded in the Royal Albert Hall, the Tweets were published online, offering colourful descriptions of what we were hearing.
At moments it felt like trying to keep up with the refresh button was as hard as it would be to follow Boulez's score – and that's pretty tricky: Barenboim revealed he couldn't fathom it when he first saw it – but its regular signposts through this relentless, unfamiliar (to me at least) score proved welcome. It seemed it was, too, to other Twitter followers: the handful of Tweets about Beethoven was overshadowed by an avalanche about Boulez. With the hashtag #boulezguide acting as a means of uniting listeners, it became one of the UK's 'trending', or most talked about, topics on Twitter. And although some Tweeps felt some of the descriptions were just too fanciful, there were countless others who felt this was the ideal match of technology and music.
Of course, the temptation when you're following along on Twitter, is then to join in the conversation about the piece. And it does feel strange, even slightly wrong, to slip out of concert concentration to chatty Twitter mode. I started to wonder if Tweeting during a Prom is the equivalent of whispering in the audience? And more than one person raised the question of whether the music is second-rate if it can't speak for itself in purely musical terms, and needs verbal explanation.
Well, that argument is at least as old as the Beethoven Symphonies which flanked the Boulez. Beethoven's Second, after all, was described as a 'crass monster' by one critic after an 1804 performance. Today, it's hard to imagine this incomprehension of Beethoven's musical language. Familiarity is key: programme notes took off in popularity in the 19th century, aiming, as they did, to help people understand and be prepared for the music they were hearing. Would this gripe have been raised if the guide had been to Beethoven's symphonies instead? I suspect not. Because it seems people find Boulez, a bit like the proverbial Marmite and Twitter itself, either overwhelmingly repellent or strangely intoxicating.

Kevin Rudd has come out swinging at the royal commission into his government's disastrous home insulation scheme.
The former prime minister was not aiming at the commission but at the Abbott government, which called the Royal Commission into the Home Insulation Program after it vanquished him at the September federal election.
Mr Rudd appeared at the commission for the first time on Wednesday afternoon, sitting impassively in the dock as his barrister - top-flight silk Bret Walker SC - said his client would not verify his statement because it had been heavily redacted by government lawyers and would not allow him to tell the truth.
Large sections of Mr Rudd's witness statement have been blacked out or "redacted" to keep them from public view on the grounds of cabinet confidentiality.
"It is an intolerable state of affairs," Mr Walker told the commission.
Mr Walker told commissioner Ian Hanger QC the terms of the commission had placed cabinet processes - usually highly confidential - at the heart of the inquiry.
"The present government can't have it both ways. It can't require you to report faithfully on the matter and prevent you from pursuing the evidence about it and, worse, commit the unfairness of not permitting the prime minister of the former government to give his answer to the allegations," Mr Walker said.
He suggested Mr Rudd's statement on the 2009 pink batts scheme would be substantially different from the view that it was rushed out as a make-work program in response to the global financial crisis, resulting in the deaths of four young and inexperienced installers.
"These are not muted allegations - they start off with the idea this was a long weekend idea," he said.
"We have an utterly opposite version."
Mr Rudd's challenge comes after federal Attorney-General George Brandis took the unprecedented and controversial step of making confidential cabinet documents available to the commission.
Legal argument over the redaction continues.
Mr Rudd took the stand late in the day after former environment minister Peter Garrett, who was responsible for the batts scheme but had earlier denied he carried sole responsibility.
"It was the department, the officials that advised me, but it was also the responsibility of safety regulators, the employers and the persons in question," Mr Garrett said.
While Mr Rudd did not give evidence, Mr Walker described his client as "the chair of cabinet", rather than a minister with administrative responsibilities and described the insulation program as a cabinet decision - signalling that Mr Rudd is not likely to shoulder sole responsibility, either.

Madonna: Rohrer write-in should worry Corbett
August 4, 2010 2 Comments
A group of conservative voters has launched a write-in gubernatorial campaign for Berks Country Representative Sam Rohrer, who lost in the spring primary. One analyst says he can envision a scenario where the movement has an impact on the fall election.
Rohrer and his hard-line conservative platform won 31 percent of the vote in May. The lawmaker hasn't endorsed Republican nominee Tom Corbett, and indicates he doesn't have any plans to. Pennsylvania law bars primary losers from running on third-party ballot lines, but a small group of Rohrer supporters have launched a website urging voters to write in Rohrer's name in this fall.
Franklin and Marshall College political scientist Terry Madonna says the Corbett campaign should be worried. "I mean [Corbett] has, not arguably, somewhere between a seven to ten point lead," he says. "But what happens if they end up absorbing 7 to 10 points of his lead? I don't think that's out of the question, for Rohrer to get up to ten points." Madonna says if nothing else, the campaign creates more hassles for Corbett. "You don't want to be there if you don't have to be," he argues.
Rohrer is keeping the write-in campaign at arms-length distance. He didn't return calls for comment, and Representative Gordon Denlinger, a Lancaster Country Republican who's close to Rohrer, says the representative isn't endorsing the movement. Denlinger isn't fully backing the effort, either, but says it's wrong to tell conservatives to vote for Corbett, just to put a Republican in the governor's mansion. ", I would certainly not ever encourage someone to say, set aside your beliefs, let that take a back seat and just move forward with some type of a political calculation," he argues.
Rohrer centered his primary bid around reduced government spending. He argues Pennsylvania is on the verge of insolvency, and increased spending and dishonest budgeting are putting the state billions of dollars in the hole each year. Rohrer actively courted "Tea Party" voters, appearing at 9/12 Project and Tea Party meetings across the commonwealth.
Organizers of the write-in campaign say they just don't trust Corbett. One of the main collaborators, Sue Nelms, says the Attorney General lost her support when he called the Constitution a "living document." She's also skeptical, because Corbett didn't deliver a clear answer to the hypothetical question of whether he'd seize Pennsylvanians' guns, if ordered to d0-so by the president. "If he was governor of our state, I think he would not follow the Constitution," she says. "And I think that's sad."

Hello again everyone,
For those of you that were interested or recently started The Greatest Show on Earth, by Richard Dawkins, I figured we would start a discussion on it. Any one that wants to join in and start the read is more than welcome, as well as those who have already read it. (I'm sure Nelson will have some insight for us!)
Let me know what you think! Thanks everyone!

"Irrationality usually trumps reason." This is a very sad reality. I'm fresh out of Christianity (literally about three weeks), and that's exactly where I was, trumping reason with my 'irrationality in the hole.' I must say that I was somewhat skeptical of religion most of my life. But I was quick to believe what a pastor told me was true because they were articulate and scholarly and must know what they're talking about. Right? NO! I'm so glad to have finally woken from my 'jesus zombie' state and think for myself. After researching evolution and approaching it with a real open mind (previous times I've approached evolution with an 'open mind,' but my mind was not truly 'open,' I simply was not thinking rationally. I was in the brainwashed mode of only looking for information that 'proved' god exists. Which I found. On sites like firstbaptistchurch.org, or seethelight.com. The information is all a lie and is not credible. Period.
I must read this book though, it will be on my list to read, and will be read very soon.
Thanks guys!
Hi guys! Hello and sorry to have disappeared before the discussion started. My schedule was overwhelming. Looking forward to catching up on reading both the book and the discussion here.

The 2012 Sorensen Fellows report from the field
Students to process experiences in fall 'Internship in Peace, Conflict and Coexistence Studies' seminarThe 2012 Sorensen Fellows are spending eight weeks "in the field" this summer, grappling with political conflict, religious tolerance, the arts and coexistence, the legacy of genocide, and environmental and economic development. They return to Brandeis in the fall to process their experiences in the seminar "Internship in Peace, Conflict and Coexistence Studies."
Jesse Hart '14, from Worthington, Ohio, is majoring in sociology. He is interning in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland, at The Playhouse, a community theater that focuses on giving a voice to the marginalized sectors of society, connecting his interests in the arts and social justice.
"Due to the fact that open fighting is over [in Northern Ireland] for right now, most of the tension is beneath the surface," Hart writes. "However, I am learning more by the day. There were a few bomb scares today (and real bombs), but it's normal around here – the people I talked to seemed to take it in stride. With so many atrocities in the recent past, I suppose that shouldn't surprise me, but it is strange."
Rachael Koehler '13, from Pennsauken, N.J., majoring in psychology and minoring in religious studies, is working with Beyond Skin in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which works to promote racial and religious coexistence through multicultural arts and media. Koehler has been working with coexistence festivals as well as bringing people of different religions together in dialogue by producing a religious understanding radio show "The Koehler Report," highlighting minority religions and their coexistence in Northern Ireland. (Listen to a podcast of her show, featuring an interview with a member of the Pagan community in Northern Ireland.)
"I'm working a lot with minorities in Northern Ireland," Koehler writes. "Refugees, immigrants, religious minorities – all other people who are away from their homes. After speaking with these people I'm realizing that America is not the only place for refugees and immigrants and minorities. I've always known this; I'm just now realizing it."
Mangaliso Mohammed, left, staffing a World Environmental Day exhibition at the Swaziland Royal Convention Centre.
"I have been very blessed to be able to work with community groups in preparation for our world environmental day exhibition stall at the Swaziland Royal Convention Centre, showcasing green practices in Mbabane," Mohammed writes. "The groups make a variety of products such as food bowls, floor mats, earrings, necklaces, etc., using waste materials like newspapers, and plastic bags. At the exhibition they had the opportunity to market their products to the whole of Swaziland and to the minister for environment. We won a national gold award for our stall – and the reuse group was able to sell some of their products. These incentives go a long way towards poverty alleviation in the informal communities, especially in Msunduza."
Karia Sekumbo '14 is majoring in economics and international and global studies with a minor in legal studies. Originally from Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, he has lived in several countries including Botswana, Swaziland, Uganda, and now the United States. He is an intern with Opportunity International, a microfinance organization in Tanzania. He hopes to gain a more concrete understanding of the workings of microfinance and its important role in global poverty alleviation and the reduction of gender inequality in communities.
"I'm really able to put some of my class theories in context of what I see in everyday Tanzanian life and the workings of the Tanzanian economy," Sekumbo writes. "Taking 'Economics of Third World Hunger' last semester exposed me to some theories that are so relevant to what happens in developing countries. Having the opportunity of living it and seeing it firsthand is something else. I see, understand and almost know what needs to be done but I don't know where to start, have very few people to talk to etc. It's a really interesting experience. Education can be equally empowering as it is frustrating."
Robyn Spector '13, from New York City, is majoring in business and American studies, with a minor in journalism. Spector is photographing and reporting at The New Times, the central English-language newspaper in Kigali, Rwanda. Her photos have even appeared in the paper – including one that was the only front page photo for the June 15 issue. She was also recently credited as a correspondent for a story in the Boston Globe on Rwanda's fight against cancer.
Spector writes that she was in Rwanda this summer on the historic day the 10-year "gacaca" Rwandan tribunal process completed. "Held in the Kigali language, by Rwandans for Rwandans, the process was designed to hear the stories of victims and criminals [of the Rwandan genocide]," she writes. "Close to two million cases were heard. The point, while those found guilty did end up in prison, was not to further vindicate the criminals. But rather, it was to give people a chance to talk and listen and discuss solutions as a community for how to move forward."
Andrea Verdeja filming in Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem
Verdeja writes that the people she has met "have taught me something invaluable: human dignity is the one thing that is never given up and that no one can take away from you. No matter the amount of hardships that they have to endure and the oppression they live with each day, life goes on with a heartfelt smile and your head held up high. Living with joy, warmth and love is their everyday form of resistance – a beautiful and inspiring one, a powerful reminder of what is truly important in life."

For professional artists, finding venues to display and sell art work has always been a challenge, but the quest for exposure may actually be undercutting their ability to prosper. A good example of this is art walks. Our cities are in the habit of using art walks to create a buzz and circulate visitors through business districts rather than cultural districts, causing artists and businesses to become accustomed to art work in commercial spaces being displayed for free. This is problematic because in a smaller art market with few collectors, such as ours, it is the patronage of banks, stores, restaurants, hospitals and offices that can sustain the livelihood of local artists; but insert the old cow-and-milk adage here and you can see that, as a whole, we are undermining our own efforts by devaluing the work.
Kaiser Permanente's new family care facility in Thousand Oaks, on the other hand, is doing more with art than just decorate. With the expertise of arts consultant and curator Joanna Burke, the building's art work plays an integral role in Kaiser Permanente's mission to treat the total health of its patients — mind, body and spirit. And by purchasing multiple works by 12 local artists, the center gave a booster shot to the local arts economy, setting a standard of quality for other businesses to aspire to.
Having spent more than two decades working with Kaiser Permanente, Burke is able to attest to the company's commitment to using design to assist in care, by consciously combining colors, lighting, furnishings and art with sensitivity to the stresses associated with seeking health care. As Linda Donner, department administrator at the Thousand Oaks center explains, "We really try to make an environment where you feel a little comfort, a little relief."
Burke, who lives in Malibu, felt that if she made the center "a celebration of the Conejo Valley," its patients could draw strength and inspiration from their natural surroundings, both in and out of the clinic. To find local work that exemplifies this, she went to arts associations, studios, galleries and art walks, and met and formed relationships with the artists. The works selected were either original or commissioned pieces by Betty Amador, Ki Cho, Carolyn M. Counnas, Judith Crowe, Phyllis Doyon, Howard Ehrlich, Pamela Fong, Tom Gamache, Dennis Griffin, Christine Leong, Elizabeth Miller and Judy Winard. The paintings, pastels, watercolors, giclée prints, photography, fiber art and ceramics included in the installation evoke the sensations and spirit of the area's lush landscape, wildlife and open spaces. For Burke, having been able to source 100 percent of the art work locally is a testament to both the quality of artists in the Conejo valley and its spectacular, inspiring landscape. For some artists, it is the first health care facility in the region to actually purchase work, rather than displaying it on loan.
It is not just showing art work for free that can be problematic for the local art scene, it's also the haphazard way in which it is often displayed in these spaces that can diminish both the work and the site where it's being shown. Burke reminds us that these arrangements often lack the gifts of the curator — the person caring for the space, the art work and the experience of the viewer simultaneously. According to Burke, curators "seek out and champion artists, give them professional direction, and can scale the right piece for the right place." Curators can also help business owners just by having the authority to determine quality. Cities with art walks might consider giving small stipends to develop an army of local curators who can help both artists and businesses find the right fit. That way, when visitors see the artwork, especially if they travel in from out of town to attend, they are left with the best possible impression of the local arts scene.
Another solution would be to lease artwork to businesses. "If a business wants to host changing exhibits of the work of local professional artists, rental agreements should be drawn up giving the artists, at the very least, a modest sum for the use of their professional product," Margaret Travers, director of the Ventura County Arts Council, suggests. "Part of the agreement would include a commission to the business owner in the event that a piece of art was sold as a result of its being exhibited in the business location." And for businesses owners who want to forge deeper bonds between their missions and their customers, a professional curator can translate those concepts into something tangible, experiential and even, as with the Kaiser facility, unforgettable.
Kaiser Permanente, Thousand Oaks is located at 322 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd. For more information on the artists and art work at Kaiser Permanente, Thousand Oaks, please write to firstname.lastname@example.com. The Ventura County Arts Council is working on a template of a leasing contract. For information, write to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I have a command returning multiple lines. For further processing I need to process each single line of those lines.
My current code works by modifying the IFS (Internal Field Separator):
ROWS=$(some command returning multiple lines)
O=$IFS #save original IFS
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b") # set IFS to linebreak
for ROW in ${ROWS[@]}
echo "$ROW"
IFS=$O #restore old IFS
I am wondering, is there a better way to access the single lines of the multiple lines output, one without modifying the IFS? Especially the readability of my script gets bad by modifying the IFS.
Update: I have troubles to get the answers working, e.g the one from choroba:
while IFS= read -r line ; do
let var+=line #line 42
done << $(sqlite3 -list -nullvalue NULL -separator ',' /var/log/asterisk/master.db "${QUERY}")
echo "$var" # line 44
gives me
./bla.sh: row 44: Warning: here-document at line 43 delimited by end-of-file (wanted `$(sqlite3 -list -nullvalue NULL -separator , /var/log/asterisk/master.db ${QUERY})')
./bla.sh: row 42: let: echo "": syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator. (error causing character is \"""\").
Anyone can help me with this? Thanks!

Dr. Helen Riess
Riess, director of the Empathy and Relational Science Program in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, and associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, recently published a study showing that explicitly teaching empathy to doctorsin- training improves their interactions with patients.
Q. It seems like everyone complains about the lack of understanding in doctors and other medical personnel.
A. Contemporary physicians are facing tremendous pressures in terms of the number of patients they're expected to see, the short amount of time in which they have to see them, the complexity of the health problems, and the increasingly burdensome documentation requirements. I firmly believe that empathy is challenged and to some extent driven down by many of the factors that are beleaguering health care today.
Q. Do we actually drum empathy out of people as we teach them to be doctors?
A. There are many studies that have documented this decline [in empathy] throughout medical training. It seems to start in the third year of medical training, and it persists during residency. Whereas it used to bounce back after the rigors of training were over, now that the pressures just continue, and continue to mount, at least 60 percent of practicing physicians are showing signs of burnout today.
Q. And teaching doctors empathy helps counteract physician burnout?
A. Some doctors after getting empathy training come back and say I feel my job is really rewarding again. By connecting with people more fully, I feel like I want to go to work again.
Q. You are talking about all types of health care professionals, not just doctors, right?
A. When there's this much pressure and burnout in one segment, it invariably trickles down to the others.
Q. One of the concerns is that being empathetic will add even more time and stress to a busy doctor's day.
A. We're trying to not have empathy and compassion feel like one extra thing you have to do. One way to actually help you cope with all these things is to connect with people and feel this thrill of helping them.
Q. And we could actually save money on medical care if caregivers were more empathetic?
A. The number of health dollars we can save just altering the relationship and making people less anxious and afraid could be truly phenomenal.
Q. What are doctors most often missing by not being empathetic enough?
A. Reading nonverbal signs of communication which account for 75 to 80 percent of communications. Since patients often don't feel free to express their negative feelings, if you don't look for more subtle signs that they don't like what you're saying, you can miss an opportunity to explain yourself better or understand what their resistance is all about.
Q. How should doctors and health professionals deal with patients who are rude or difficult?
A. When they run into emotional obstacles like anger, or manipulation, or even rudeness, those are just surface behaviors that are covering up for tremendous vulnerability and fear. We try to train our doctors to not get defensive when they run up against these things, but slow down and try to find out "where are you really hurting," or "why are you so afraid,'' instead of labeling people as difficult or hard to deal with.
Q. What responsibility do patients have in helping their caregivers become more empathetic?
A. Patients need to help doctors know when they don't understand, when they're feeling that they're not being listened to. They need to develop more courage to ask questions so that it really can be about a relationship rather than just receiving information.

MOOMIN Screen print design
Here is a picture of a screen print design iv done for the creative agency monorex.
this month is there 8th birthday ceremony and they have ask a few artist to come up with designs based on popular childhood cartoon shows.
I was going to create a design for my favourite show ren and stimpy but unfortunately someone else went for that idea.
so i took on Moomin as it was also one of my favourite shows as well.
took a while to figure out how to layout the design as it is going to be printed on A4 hard paper in one colour.
I used allot of 01 pigment pens to fill in my trademark pattern style and also fill it with dot shading (still getting use to doing this technique)that took hours to do. but with all the patience and hard work put into it i finally fiished it in time before the deadline :D.
let me know what you think!
also! did some fun color versions to see what it will be like.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Over the next 40 years, the number of sweltering summer days in New York City could double or even triple, making it as hot in 2050 as Birmingham, Alabama, is now.
The sea level surrounding New York is also likely to rise by 2 feet (0.6 meter), jeopardizing lower-lying homes and businesses, according to a report commissioned by the city to be released on Tuesday.
It is the first time New York City has updated its projections about the impact of climate change since Superstorm Sandy struck seven months ago.
The storm - three times as massive as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 - killed more than 100 people in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, knocked out power to millions and caused billions of dollars in damages.
The report also forecasts the number of days at or above 90 Fahrenheit (32 Celsius) will rise to as many as 57 in 2050, up from roughly 20 days a year now.
Some of the city's underground infrastructure could become too hot, "like being in an oven beneath the street," said Deputy Mayor for Operations Cas Holloway at a news conference on Monday. New York has a vast underground subway system, parts of which flooded during Sandy.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is scheduled on Tuesday to propose how the city could prepare for the forecasted climate change - and how much such a massive undertaking could cost taxpayers.
Bloomberg, a political independent, said climate change may have been a factor in Superstorm Sandy. He endorsed President Barack Obama just after the storm because of Obama's stance on climate change.
New York City has already laid out plans to spend about $1.7 billion in federal disaster aid to recover from the storm. Even more is supposed to flow to the region under the $50 billion supplemental Sandy relief package Congress approved earlier this year.
Holloway declined to say how much the improvements and changes could cost or who would pay for it, deferring to Bloomberg's upcoming presentation.
But "there is going to be a real cost to inaction" if the city fails to deal with climate change, Holloway said.

I highly recommend their Sonoran dogs...the best!!! Soooo sorry to see the Broadway location close, we will miss you. Very nice employees. Will still drive to Rita when needing a Sonoran fix.
Great dining tonight. White Sangria yummy. Lorenzo was great
The owner consistently harasses not only pedestrians but his very own employees and customers.
The most overrated Mexican restaurant in town. Living on its publicity from Clinton's visit decades ago. Long waits, poor service, commercial grade food. One reviewer says "authentic Tucson style Mexican food." What a joke. Well, it's Tucson style if you like Circle K style food. There is nothing remotely authentic Mexican about the stuff Mi Nidito serves, unless you are addicted to orange cheese and shredded lettuce on top of everything.
Easily one of the two or three best Mexican restaurants in the Tucson area -- even with its hours being limited to early morning through lunch.
I've been to The Little Cafe Poca Cosa many times; early morning before work, and lunch. Every time I have been astonished at how quick the service is ... faster than most "fast food" restaurants; yet service up a big variety of expertly prepared Mexican foods. The chips are great, the salsa is great, the beans (not refried) are tasty with that luscious brown sauce that comes from knowing how to prepare them, the rice has just enough spice, they serve raw beets with their salad! (raw beets are one of the most healthy foods for your system), along with grated carrots and other tasty leafy green lettuce and such, the drinks are great (and the owner will even fix you a 're-fill' to go if you want!).
Yes, The Little Cafe Poca Cosa insists on being paid in cash ... there are big signs outside telling you this before you go in ... and it is easy to get cash, as there are a couple of ATMS within 50 yards or so of the entrance ... and it is something you will want to 'go out of your way' to do (get cash) in order to enjoy this astonishingly good Mexican food cafe.
(P. S. The owner does give everyone a hug when the leave, if they will let her. Very friendly. But, she's never tried to kiss me on the mouth. Whomever said that is making up a false story, just to make a wonderful restaurant look bad. This is a great place to eat.)
Last time I was there, I specifically asked for "no ******" because I am allergic. My food comes, half covered in something that can literally kill me. When I explained this to the server, she took it back to the kitchen and returned within 2 minutes with the same order, with the portion that was covered in ****** now covered in sour cream. The server explained that the kitchen staff refused to make another one and that I should just eat it. My parents, wife, and 2 daughters were with me and the lunch bill was over $100. Their lack of caring, and willingness to get sued is very disconcerting. I'm just glad that I noticed that they covered what I am allergic to before I took a bite...
Bad experience ordered the enchiladas de la case huge portion but no sauce. I mean no sauce when I asked for sour cream the waiter started they didn't serve sour cream. So what's up the sauce for the dish is mostly sour cream. Just saying if your out of something don't serve it have assed.
Wow, I'm shocked at the bad reviews on here. There's 0% chance that a anyone had an experience like that-- and those users only ever gave one review....hmmmm. They are always kind to everyone and have some of the best tasting food in Tucson. I hope people see past the negativity and give it a shot. It's my go-to for lunch dates with friends I meet up with downtown. The only bummer is they only accept cash-- but I go at least twice a month so obviously it's not a deal breaker lol. They have like 4(?) kinds of fresh juice and their combination plate is always an enjoyable surprise. I highly recommend their chicken mole and their vegetarian tamale :)
We love the LIttle Poca Cosa. The food fresh and delicious, and the service warm and friendly. In fact, we are heading out with our family in about 5 minutes to enjoy another thoroughly enjoyable lunch at our favorite little corner restaurant in Tucson ..
Has it reopened?
Will never patronize this restaurant ever again!. They wouldn't accept a $100 gift certificate. We received it as a gift from some grateful friends, but management wouldn't honor it. WHY NOT? It's equivalent to us having paid for our meal in advance. Definitely not a sound business approach for endearing themselves to their customers.
The negative comments are TOTAL BS. In fact, as one could easily figure out: one is written by a competitor and the other by a person who had taste bud lobotomy '
I could cry. Yes its that bad, the service, is deplorable, small portions, of not very good food, horrible chairs,
and the only thing that i can say was good, was the nice waiter, the bus boy, ect. I have never seen anything like this. the only good thing was the refried beans. Go to Mi Nidito (520) 622-5081 - 1813 S 4th Ave, Tucson, AZ , that is where I am going to from now on. Trust me this place is a disaster , and even with a reservation you are greeted with the most unfriendly hostess.
Mosaic is not the same restaurant I remember. Went there for New Year Eve lunch 12/31/14. Asked for a window seat,(there were plenty) and got seated in a plastic bush in the center of the room. Across the way,a tablecloth was draped over a table that had the top glass over its contents broken,that was left there next a to the window....where some of us would have liked to sit.The waitress warned us about the new waiter that would be taking our order,and mentioned that she would make sure he got it right.Which he did,but then we never were checked on after that,until he brought the check.Our table had only forks on a napkin,as did most of the tables with diners and without. As I pondered whether it was a new Mexican tradition to eat with only forks,I noticed that 4 recently seated diners had knives and forks. Okay....dishwasher problem,not enough utensils,who knows....But I will not be returning to Mosaic any time soon.Shoddy shoddy shoddy without the dialed down drink or menu prices.
Exquisite food and presentation, one of the best barbacoa burrito tacos etc. I've tasted in any Mexican/ American restaurants available in the Tucson n surrounding areas but don't just go by what your reading please feel free to explore the menu for your self many amazing dishes here n friendly services
We have been eating at Little Poca Cosa now The Little One for 13 years. We ate there yesterday. When I saw the name change I was concerned that the ownership changed. What a relief to see Sandra! When you decide on The Little One for lunch you get the loud music and a joyous owner. It rocks. Our group ordered 3 Chicken Moles and 1 Tamale, Ginger Basil Lemonade and 2, "you can get those anywhere drinks".
This is lunch and a love fest. If you don't want to pay cash, go with the flow and give hugs, there are plenty of other places in downtown that are less colorful and cost more. For those who think this freshly prepared, locally sourced, original menu items are pricey, this isn't McDonald's! It is very good value for the price.
Not sure what is up with the negative comments. . . I have never had anything but PHENOMENAL meals at The Little One; there isn't a bad choice on the menu. My personal favorites are the Cochinito en Chipotle, and the Mole; also unbelievable Chile Rellenos and Tamales, AND AMAZING limonadas and fresh fruit drinks that will KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!!! (try the beet-mandarin limonada if she has it). Incredibly fresh food made with love, and, yes, hugs (and generally kisses too) are mandatory. Service is fast and friendly. SO, if you are uptight you might not like the vibe (loud music and an owner who loves her patrons), but only a fool or a philistine would not love the food!
We ordered the cheese crisp. We forgot to order chiles on it. When she brought it back it had green peppers on it. I said these are green peppers, and she told the cook and he said no, those are green chiles. Ok. Bottom line is I was born in Tucson and raised on sonoran style Mexican food. I KNOW the difference between the two. Don't insult me by telling me different. And, and, the beans I ordered maybe were four tablespoons full. If the young man who came to the table to sooth us is the owner, oh, my, god. Good luck in the future little boy, were gone and won't be back. Barry A Malone
Teresa's is not the same. It used to be terrific and we ate there all the time and brought friends and visitors with us. Now the food is terrible. The service was always bad but with bad food I will not be going there anymore and not recommending it to my friends and family. Sonny, you need to wise up and run like your father did.
horrible service, horrible food, long wait time, staff could care less!

Anyone with a teenager can identify at some point with author Matt Biers-Ariel in his book "The Bar Mitzvah and The Beast" when he decides that the best way to connect with his son Yonah – who spends much of his time with earbuds firmly implanted like the ends of an umbilical cord to his iPod – is through a cross-country bike trip from California to Washington, D.C., an incredibly demanding physical feat that will force all the family members to just deal with each other.
Yonah's bar mitzvah looms, but he refuses to go through with it. Biers-Ariel is stumped as to what might replicate a rite of passage, and decides that his own dream of biking across the country will suffice. Needless to say, this is not Yonah's dream. Nor is it very interesting to Yonah's younger brother, Solomon, or Matt's wife, Djina. But they all gamely decide to go along, and choose energy conservation as a cause, for which they collect signatures along the way.

Van Gaal hints summer business over
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has suggested the club will not make any more signings this summer, claiming he may just give his current players a chance.
- Tactics Board: Where does Luke Shaw fit in?
- Mitten: United, Madrid face off at the Big House
- Ancelotti: Prem title too much to ask of United
The Dutchman has welcomed two new faces so far, though left-back Luke Shaw and midfielder Ander Herrera were both identified by his predecessor David Moyes.
But although United are interested in both central midfielders and centre-backs, manager Van Gaal said he may opt to persevere with the players he inherited.
"We still have a month to go [in the transfer window] and we are winning. Maybe we don't need other players," Van Gaal said at a news conference at the Michigan Stadium, where his side will face Real Madrid on Saturday.
"First I want to see the players who I have and give them an honest chance."
Summer transfer window roundup
- Premier League: Team-by-team ins and outs
- Transfer Centre: All the done deals
- Marcotti: Mind-boggling transfers
- Delaney: What did we learn on deadline day?
- Horncastle: European transfer grades
- Smith: Transfers more important than the game?
- Macintosh: We worship goals, not balance sheets
Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal is one target but Juventus have said that the 27-year-old is keen to stay in Turin.
But Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that captain Thomas Vermaelen, another who interests Van Gaal, could leave the Emirates Stadium.
United have lost five footballers this summer with assistant manager Ryan Giggs retiring as a player, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic leaving on free transfers and Alexander Buttner and Patrice Evra being sold.
It has left Van Gaal with only three senior centre-backs and one of those, Chris Smalling, will miss the match against Real Madrid.
"He has a minor problem so he cannot play," Van Gaal said.

June 2003
Dear Parent:
On January 8, 2002, when the No Child Left Behind Act became the law of the land, we began a new era of education in our nation's history. Democrats and Republicans in Congress joined together with President Bush in an historic agreement to improve the educational opportunities for every American child.
Accountability, local control and flexibility, new options for parents, and record funding for what works are now the cornerstones of our education system. If your child isn't learning, you'll know why. If your school isn't performing, you'll have new options and the school will receive additional help. Our commitment to you, and to all Americans, is to see every child in America--regardless of ethnicity, income, or background--achieve high standards.
No Child Left Behind puts the focus on instruction and methods that have been proven to work. It makes a billion-dollar annual investment to ensure every child learns to read by third grade. And it provides the resources for reform and unprecedented flexibility so states and local communities can get the job done.
Everyone at the Department of Education is working hard in partnership with state and local leaders to implement the reforms of No Child Left Behind. We are already seeing great progress. From inner cities to sparsely populated rural areas and everywhere in between, we are pressing on toward our common goal of making every public school in America a place of high expectations and a place of high achievement.
This guide is meant to provide you with information about No Child Left Behind. It summarizes the main provisions of the law, answers common questions, and provides information on where you can find additional resources. I encourage you to share it with your family, friends, and neighbors.
President Bush and I believe in the bright hope of your child. As we move forward, our mission is clear: an America where every child will be educated and no child left behind.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - San Diego's Amanda Rego scored in the final minute of regulation to lift the Torero women's basketball team to a 73-71 victory this afternoon at the Leavey Center, The loss drops the Broncos to 14-13 overall, 8-6 in the WCC, and places SCU as the third seed in next weekend's West Coast Conference Championship.
Ashley Gonnerman returned to the starting line-up and led Santa Clara with 18 points. Tori Markey and Michelle Cozad came off the bench to add 13 and 10 points, respectively. Quinn Thomas, the Broncos' only senior on the roster, was honored prior to tip-off and finished with 13 points.
Santa Clara held a 40-34 lead at the half, in a contest that was close the entire afternoon. There were a total of 10 lead changes and eight ties throughout the game. Down by four at the two-minute warning, Cozad hit back-to-back jumpers 35 seconds apart to tie the game at 71 heading into the final minute. San Diego took a time out to discuss strategy and Rego executed with the game-winning basket. Santa Clara's final attempts as the clock wound down were no good.
The Broncos led by as many as 11 after Thomas hit her third three of the first half, and held a five point lead at 6:29 in the second period.
Sabine Loewe led all scorers with 21 points, and Tiara Harris added 14. Michelle Augustavo netted 14 points and a game-high seven rebounds, and Rego also finished in double figures, posting 11 points and adding six assists and six rebounds.
The Broncos will host the WCC Women's Basketball Championship at the Leavey Center next week. The WCC will use the traditional No. 1 seed vs. No. 8 seed format, and all eight WCC schools will play on the first day of the tournament. The 14th annual women's tournament will begin with first-round action on March 3 and then take a day off on March 4. Play will resume with the semifinals on March 5 and the championship game on March 6.
All-session tickets are on sale now through each WCC institution's ticket office. Please note that any remaining single-session tickets will not go on sale until Monday. A Women's All-Session General Admission Pass is $40, and a single session pass is $12. Students and Youths will be admitted to a single session for only $5, and students of WCC institutions can watch a single game for $5.

Jesserogo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 68 diseños de 31 diseñadores freelance.
I am a die-hard fan who loves to to attend live events; more specifically sporting events and concerts. Stadiums and arenas are like second home. Therefore I created Wommers! Wommers is a platform and community that allows fans to express themselves at various events. The product will be customizable signs for fans. The ultimate goal is to create a whole new way for the fans to communicate with their favorite athletes, artists, fellow fans, and the world!
I generally think the market expands pretty far so i'd like to be able to reach anybody and everybody, but if I had to name a specific sweet spot it would be 16 - 25 year olds who love to attend events, are creative, and tech savy.
Since Wommers is not an actual word, I would like for all of the letters to be very clear to any user. That way they will never have issues remembering the URL.
While I like sports the overall theme should be generic across sporting events, concerts, and even political rallies. I would eventually like to expand into any type of event in which people try to express themselves through the use of a sign.
Here is the general idea that I had in mind, though I am willing to sway away from it... Generally i wanted a logo in which the "W" would look like a person holding up a sign. Thus, the two ends of the W would be the arms and the middle (lowered) would resemble a head. I would like this symbolized shapes, as opposed to drawing out actual arms, hands, or a head.
I have attached very VERY poor examples of my ideas. but it should help to give you the general vision that I have in mind.
Blue, white, and black are ideal colors but am willing to sway from that as well.

2-strand Freshwater Peach/Pink Pearl Bracelet
2-strand Freshwater Peach/Pink Pearl Bracelet
These lustrous, natural pink/peach color, pearl bracelets are incredible. The double row of pearls are strung on twin silk thread which is hand knotted between each pearl for beauty and durability. Each strand is finished with a solid 14k gold clasp. As with all of our products, this bracelet will come packaged in a beautiful presentation gift box and will also include a "Pearl Care Card" and appraisal.
What SIZE pearls should I buy?
Choosing the best size of pearls for your pearl necklace, earrings, or bracelet is an important decision. Pearls are measured in millimeters, across their diameter. As a general guideline, pearls from 3mm to 5mm are very small, pearls from 6mm to 7mm are decently sized, and pearls larger than 7mm will make quite the impression. A single millimeter difference in size is very noticeable.
(NOTE: The above picture shows the relative size of pearls. They will not appear to scale on your display.)
What QUALITY of pearls should I buy?
Pearl quality is typically denoted by the standard letter grading scale of C, B, A, AA and AAA with AAA being the highest quality.
We encourage you to compare our pearls with those from your local jewelry store. You will find that our grading standards are comparable to, and often higher than, most resellers. NOTE: We do NOT use fictitious grading scales such as AAA+ or AAAA, so when comparison-shopping with other sites, please be aware of this fact. AAA quality pearls from us are the 96% or better blemish free with excellent luster and matching.
What OVERTONE COLOR of pearl should I choose?
The overtone color of a pearl is a subtle, translucent color that lies across a pearl's surface and is secondary to the body color. Having no overtone color is always a safe choice unless you know what overtone color the person you are buying for prefers.
Helpful Hints:
A woman with very fair skin may prefer a slight rose overtone since it will add color to their appearance.
A woman with darker skin color or graying hair will sometimes prefer more of a silver overtone.

Criminal charges against Vision Airlines have been dropped.
Criminal charges against Vision Airlines have been dropped.
State Attorney Bill Eddins announced Tuesday that his office had dropped the first-degree grand theft charge against the airline after it paid more than $160,000 in fines and fees to Okaloosa County in the past month.
�I think it�s a very positive resolution for the people of Okaloosa County,� Eddins said. �We were able to quickly recover not only the funds owed, but the late fees as well as the county legal fees that were expended in trying to get them to pay before we got involved. They�ve agreed to fully cooperate with us in our ongoing investigation into the Tourist Development Council matter.�
The state attorney�s office filed the grand theft charge after the county tried unsuccessfully for months to get Vision to pay $117,660 in unpaid passenger facility charges owed to Northwest Florida Regional Airport.
A $4.50 passenger facility charge is collected by each airline for every paying passenger that flies out of the airport. The airlines keep 11 cents from each charge for collecting the fee, but are supposed to pay the remaining $4.39 to the airport within 30 days after the end of the month in which it is collected.
Vision started offering flights at Northwest Florida Regional in December 2010, but did not make its first passenger facility charge payment until October 2011. Payments were infrequent after that.
Less than 24 hours after the criminal charge was filed, Vision paid the $117,660 in overdue passenger facility charges, but still owed the county nearly $44,000 in legal fees, late charges and interest related to the charges.
Vision paid an additional $43,477.94 to the county Monday.
Eddins said the charges could be refiled if Vision fails to cooperate in the TDC investigation, but added that he does not expect that to be an issue.
Vision still owes the county about $35,000 from unpaid utilities, rent and fuel for its ground servicing equipment, as well as late fees.
The county filed a lawsuit against Vision in January to get the full $146,000 the airline owed at the time. Late charges continued to accumulate after the filing.
Dino Villani, Okaloosa�s interim airports director, said the county will evaluate its options before it decides whether to go forward with its lawsuit.
�Once we do that we�ll make a determination if it will be cost effective to try to recover the rest of the money or not, depending on legal fees,� Villani said.
Eddins said the remaining money Vision owes the county is a civil matter and does not involve his office.
