Madrigals and related forms
A considerable amount of music sung by choirs in the 20th century is not really choral music at all, since it was conceived for performance by small groups of soloists and attains its fullest expression only through the individually projected personality of the solo voice. Assignment of these solo lines to a body of singers tends to neutralize this effect of personality, producing instead a weight of tone and an impression of superimposed dynamics and expression which, however carefully cultivated and disciplined, cannot surpass the kind of performance originally envisaged by the composer; yet a reasonable multiplication of voices does no harm to the texture as such, since the harmonies, the interweaving of parts, and the vocal spacing all remain constant. It is also true that a madrigal sung by 50 instead of by only five musicians will be more readily and rapidly understood by those directly involved because a massed performance of a five-part madrigal with 10 singers on each line is a more practical proposition than forming 10 separate consorts of five soloists. Individual voices, especially in amateur groups, may not possess the technique, the stamina, or the confidence to sustain a part on their own, but if they sing as a member of a group the likelihood is that they will achieve good results.
Development of the madrigal
Madrigals were originally published for professional singers and for amateur singers of high standard. They were issued not in score, as is the 20th-century custom, but in the form of part books, each one of which contained only the music necessary for one line—soprano, alto, tenor, bass, or any intermediate voice. The quantity printed of each edition was generally modest, with the result that prices were high, and choral performance was ruled out for economic reasons as well as artistic ones. The development of modern methods of engraving and printing music, allied to the creation of a worldwide market for choral works, has brought about a situation directly opposed to that of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, whereby each singer now has a full score (or vocal score) that is less expensive than the part books printed in earlier times. In consequence, the choral performance of madrigals and related forms has become an economic possibility.
One of the most important predecessors of the madrigal proper was the frottola, which flourished in Italy between 1490 and 1520. In its early stages, the frottola was a song with instrumental accompaniment, with the main melody and text in the uppermost part (usually in the soprano or alto range) and supporting harmonies below. These harmonies were so simple and functional that an entire line could be dispensed with when intabulations for voice and lute were made. Four-part harmony was thus reduced to three, though without any serious loss since the polyphonic element tended to be of minimal importance. In later collections of frottolas, however, a different technique appears: instead of the upper line alone being supplied with text, all four parts join in. These completely texted frottolas were certainly intended to be sung by four singers, possibly, though not necessarily, doubled by instruments; and they could even have been sung by a small chorus.
Contemporary with the frottola were cognate forms such as the German lied, the French chanson, the Spanish villancico, and the English songs for voice and viols. All these began as accompanied songs, and all eventually followed the Italian fashion by dropping the instruments and substituting voices. This process was at first an obvious makeshift and can be detected as such because of the characteristically instrumental nature of the lower three parts, with numerous unvocal skips and contours. Words can be added to lines such as these, but they are often uncomfortable to sing because of the lack of conjunct movement and the paucity of breathing spaces. Occasionally, the added words appear only in one source, often a manuscript copy rather than a printed edition, the earlier sources on the other hand retaining the instrumental nature and function of the alto, tenor, and bass. The songs of Isaac provide clear examples of this gradual change, by which Tenorlieder (songs with the tune in the tenor) were transformed into part-songs by the addition of text to the instrumental lines. Some German composers, however, favoured the purely vocal or choral type of performance and made certain that all parts were texted.
Similar tendencies can be seen in France, in Spain, and in England, where many of the court songs written during Henry VIII's reign have text in all voice parts. One of the best known of these, Passetyme with good cumpanye, is a part-song for three male voices, written in all probability by the monarch himself. As the century progressed, amateurs began to take an interest in the part-song, which was generally for four voices, and several composers helped to lay the foundation for the English madrigal school. It is worthy of note that Byrd, in his Psalmes, Sonets, & songs of Sadnes and pietie (published, 1588), underlaid text to every part but mentioned in his preface that the songs were "originally made for Instruments to expresse the harmonie, and one voyce to pronounce the dittie."
The Italian madrigal
The early development of the Italian madrigal was fostered as much by foreigners as by natives, and the considerable contributions made by the 16th-century Flemish composers Jacques Arcadelt, Philippe Verdelot, and Adriaan Willaert should not be underestimated. Although Willaert's settings of the works of the 14th-century Italian poet Petrarch and other serious Renaissance poets maintain an invariably high contrapuntal interest and are frequently suitable for choral performance, his compositions in the lighter, more homophonic vein, are well worth acquaintance.
Cipriano de Rore, another Netherlander adopted by Italy, felt Willaert's influence strongly yet contrived to set new standards in the interpretation of poetry through music and also to encourage an artistic fusion of the contrapuntal and homophonic styles, using them alternately in one and the same composition according to the dictates of the poem. Even his early madrigals show a deep concern for intensity of expression, as in the Petrarch setting for five voices Hor che'l ciel e la terra. One of his finest four-part madrigals, Ancor che col partire, sets off pairs of voices one against the other. New heights of expression are reached in his descriptive madrigal Quando lieta sperai (text by the woman poet Emilia Anguissola), in which a sudden and disappointing change in the weather is perfectly mirrored in the music. The four-part Datemi pace, based on a Petrarch sonnet, favours homophony and looks eagerly forward to the bold chromaticism of Pomponio Nenna and Don Carlo Gesualdo. In his maturity, Rore produced a number of remarkably intense madrigals for the court of Parma. One of the finest is his setting of Dalle belle contrade, full of powerful contrasts of mood and colour underlining the interplay of direct and indirect speech.
Further experiments in chromaticism were carried out by Nicola Vicentino, whose dramatic setting of O messaggi del cor, by the Renaissance poet Ludovico Ariosto, makes highly effective use of a mounting modulatory scheme (changes of key) to enhance the insistent repetition of the opening exclamations. His early madrigals exploit a more classical vein, without ignoring illustrative possibilities. His most typical and fascinating work is nevertheless to be found in such madrigals as Poichè il mio largo pianto or L'aura che il verde lauro in which Petrarch's verbal puns are suitably matched by Vicentino's harmonic ambiguities. Even more extreme is the Neapolitan composer Pomponio Nenna, whose striking and original harmonies must have made an indelible impression on his pupil Gesualdo. But whereas Gesualdo's chromaticism is often wayward and illogical, that of Nenna tends toward reason and reality. Several of the master's madrigals can be usefully compared with those of his noble pupil that were set to identical texts. Mercè, grido piangendo, for example, is treated by Nenna with an enviable intensity of expression heightened by tremendous contrasts of timbre and dynamic; and, although this pattern is followed in Gesualdo's setting (Book V, 1611), perhaps with even greater violence, the most favourable musical impression comes from Nenna. His four-part madrigal La mia doglia s'avvanza is startling by any standards, for the opening four bars move rapidly from G minor to F-sharp major, D minor, and C-sharp major.
Gesualdo's preoccupation with poems containing diametrically opposed ideas and concepts finds its outlet in his last two books of madrigals (V and VI, both 1611). Itene, O miei sospiri not only looks forward in its manneristic treatment of vocal texture and harmony; it looks backward to classical procedures such as the interpolation of rests at the word sospiri (sighs), invented much earlier when the quarter-note rest was called suspirium. It would be wrong, however, to classify Gesualdo as an extremist on every occasion, for he could often write melting phrases of unforgettable beauty. He can even be witty at times, as in the madrigal about a venturesome mosquito (Ardita zanzaretta), which is somewhat in the vein of a vocal scherzo.
Luca Marenzio, one of the most prolific among late 16th-century Italian madrigalists, achieved his high reputation not through experiment but rather through his remarkable sensitivity to words, both as single entities and as the basic elements of a poetic phrase. His balance between the two opposing claims of general mood and particular effect is always perfect, and the mastery of his vocal spacing is probably unrivalled, no matter whether four, five, or six parts are involved.
At the court of Mantua (now Mantova, Italy), two important composers were active toward the very end of the 16th century—Giaches de Wert and Giovanni Giacomo Gastoldi. Each of them, in his own particular way, helped to renew and transform madrigal techniques even though the countless admirers of Marenzio felt that the pinnacles of perfection had already been reached. De Wert's contribution to the new madrigal was in some ways unusual and unexpected, for he approached the dramatic madrigal-poetry in a way that combined realism with clarity. He returned, in fact, to homophonic writing when it was necessary to emphasize a point, allowing the highest voice part to project the melody in what was essentially a kind of "choral recitative." His pupil Monteverdi published nine books of madrigals. From the sixth book onward continuo support becomes obligatory, and in consequence solo voices emerge from a choral background with tremendous dramatic effect, especially in the later works. The ballet Tirsi e Clori is rich in five-part choral writing of considerable elegance and resource, and the same is true (though in six-part texture) of Altri canti di Marte. Vago augelletto contrasts solo and choral writing until the last tutti, when all singers combine in a sonorous statement. Perhaps the greatest Monteverdi work of all is Hor che'l ciel e la terra, a six-part madrigal in two sections, with many solos and choral sections accompanied by violins and continuo. Monteverdi rarely surpassed the heights of emotional expressiveness found in this product of his maturity.
At the time of the Italian madrigal's fullest flowering, German composers derived much inspiration from the south while still contriving to retain something of their earlier heritage. The result was often a kind of international style, greatly influenced by Orlando di Lasso, who was as much at home writing Italian madrigals as he was with French chanson and German lieder. His pupils, the Austrian Leonhard Lechner and the German Johann Eccard, developed this style still further, as may be seen in the former's setting of Wohl kommt der Mai (Welcome May), a lively and optimistic May song full of expressive harmonic colour. The setting by Lasso of the same text is calmer, more homophonic; yet its apparent simplicity and unostentatiousness hides a subtle and skillful mastery of vocal art.
In his five-part lieder, Lasso makes the most of contrasting duets and trios very frequently, as in Es jagt ein Jäger a hunting song which serves as an excuse for lightly concealed amatory dalliance. Hans Leo Hassler was obviously fired by Lasso's lead in the sheer variety and latent possibilities of secular vocal style, and much of his best work was done in the dialogue form. A peak of brilliance and energy is reached in his eight-part dialogue for two opposing choral bodies, Mein Lieb will mit mir kriegen (My Love Wants to Wage a War), which might be described as a musically stylized battle of the sexes, with blows given and taken freely until the two groups combine to sing of final reconciliation and contentment.
Cultivation of the dialogue
Dialogues in this vein were also cultivated successfully by Christoph Demantius, whose anthology of 1609 contains examples of memorable beauty and charm. In his Jungfrew, ich het ein' Bitt' an euch (Maiden, I have a Request for You), Demantius allows one four-part choir to represent the girl and the other the boy in a conversation full of innocent affection and honest courtship, the two groups joining at the end to sing goodnight. In his five-part lieder, Demantius sometimes displays a learned touch in his imitative counterpoint, although the general impression is one of Italianate elegance rather than of studious endeavour. It is worthy of note that many of his lieder are strophically conceived, and in consequence he printed the verses complete in each voice part, a feature which has been unfortunately obscured in the modern edition of his works. One of the finest of his lieder is Lieblich ich hörte singen, which tells of the Sirens' song and reproduces its allegedly hypnotic effect by means of flowing melismata in the upper voices.
The dialogue, considered as an art form of the Renaissance and Baroque eras, contains many choral elements. In its earliest form, as exemplified by the dialogues of Willaert, seven voices is the norm, and the texture is not yet clearly separated into two groups. Instead there is a kaleidoscopic impression caused by the skillful deployment of varied groupings. By the time of Andrea Gabrieli, a dialogue such as the popular and erotic Tirsi morir volea calls for a trio of high voices representing the girl and a quartet of deeper voices for the man. The amorous interchanges are carefully allocated to the individual groups, and there is no attempt to join them together until the very end. But in a typical dialogue by the younger Gabrieli, Dormiva dolcemente, there is no relationship between direct and indirect speech as far as the music is concerned. The setting is in this sense abstract, and the beauty of the dialogue lies in its purely musical architecture and expression.
One of the greatest masters of the French dialogue was Orlando di Lasso, who set two poems of the 16th-century French poet Pierre de Ronsard in eight-part, double-choir compositions of exceptional quality. Que dis-tu, que fais-tu? (1576; What Are You Saying, What Are You Doing?) plays off one group against another in a series of sympathetic exchanges culminating in a final chorus praising the constancy of the lovebirds. Another masterpiece of this kind is O doux parler (1571), in which the interlocutors are human and the approach of both poet and composer more intensely passionate.
The French chanson and English madrigal
The French chanson, one of the most popular secular vocal genres in the 16th century, is essentially in miniature form. Unlike the Italian madrigals, which were sometimes composed in sequences of three, four, or more sections, French chansons tend to remain individual in the sense that they are self-contained, epigrammatic, and brief. It is partly for this reason that they have been less explored by 20th-century choral groups, although the language factor must also be taken into consideration.
English madrigals, because of their relatively innocuous texts and their moderate degree of difficulty, have always been a staple diet of choral societies and to an even greater extent of chamber choruses. The 16th- and 17th-century madrigals of William Byrd, Thomas Weelkes, John Wilbye, Thomas Morley, and their contemporaries and successors are too well-known to need elaborate description and too numerous to permit individual discussion. It is nevertheless true that although this repertory may today be considered as generally choral, certain madrigals are better reserved for performance by soloists. The criterion for making such a choice lies often with the text rather than with the music, for a certain degree of personal intensity in the words demands a corresponding projection of individual lines and their message. On the other hand, others are eminently suitable for choral performance.
After the vogue of the madrigal had disappeared, that of the glee eventually took its place, flourishing from the early 18th century to the middle of the 19th. Like the madrigal, the glee was originally intended for solo voices, but choral performances were by no means infrequent. The word glee, derived from the Anglo-Saxon word for music (gligge) does not necessarily imply a composition of a cheerful nature, and many of the best glees in fact express solemn or poetic themes. Samuel Webbe's Glorious Apollo and R.J.S. Stevens's Ye spotted snakes provide very different, though typical, examples of this vocal genre. Tonality is for the most part simple and unaffected, harmony is robust, and the span of musical thought necessarily brief.Denis William Stevens

Building quality homes since 1962, Masterton Homes has become one of the largest and most respected builders in Australia.
Jim Masterton, the company's founder, can be considered a true Australian innovator. In 1962 he transformed the home building market with the introduction of pre-assembled trusses and frames as well as pioneering the use of concrete slabs and introducing the concept of Knock Down Rebuild (KDR). All these innovations are now standard in the housing industry.
Jim is understandably proud of his achievements:
"When I started out I just wanted to make it possible for ordinary people to build their own home and so we had to invent ways to make it affordable and easy," he said. "We succeeded in our goals and are still here because we continue to deliver on this promise, guaranteeing quality and innovation with it. I'm a builder first and foremost and I love the challenges of making Masterton's homes better and smarter all the time."

At 9 weeks Liam had his two month checkup at his Pediatrician. We love her and how knowledgable she is. She is up to date on things and not old school. There is so many outdated advice out there and she doesn't ever give that advice.
For an example:
She says not to feed solids before 6 months. Many pediatricians are advising parents to start solids or at least say it fine to start solids around 4 months! That's crazy!
She is a lactation consultant and knows the updated growth chart for breastfed babies.
She gave us advice to not use lotion on his skin until his natural oils come when his baby acne appears. That way the acne won't be as bad and clears up faster.
She told us not to use baby Tylenol before his shots or before a fever after the shots so that his body will naturally fight whatever he may need to fight. Tylenol will take away symptoms so we were advice to wait in case we need to be on the look out for anything. He didn't need the Tylenol anyway.
She makes us feel confident as parents and doesn't ask too many questions.
She is 100% in support of breastfeeding.
These are many reasons why we love her! The main reason we chose her is because she also specializes in lactation. I want to be successful at breastfeeding and knew that was a bonus!
About the Appointment
I was super nervous about his appointment because he was getting his first set of shots. I knew he would hurt and cry and didn't want to see him that way. I was partially nervous if he would have a reaction because of the anti-vaccine movement. But I knew I wanted to still vaccinate.
However, he did really well and the nurse was very quick! He did bleed a bit and cried. But was fine afterwards. He was so tired and passed out on the way home.
His weight at the appointment: 12 pounds
His weight last appointment last month:
9 pounds 6 oz
Length was iffy because the lady didn't do it very well but said 22 inches
He was 21 inches last month so we think he was at least 23 inches. I should have gotten him measured again cause I'm anal.
Head circumference at appointment was 40 cm.
Last appointment was 38 cm.

Great Ideas For College That You Have To Try!
While the majority of individuals see the true value of a college degree, many are unaware of how to go about beginning the process of getting theirs. You need to choose a school, a major, find funding for your education and plan on moving away from home. Luckily, this piece will bring plenty of suggestions and tips to easy your transition.
Scholarships and grants can help you save a lot of money towards your college education. Many people don't know that various scholarships have unique characteristics like being only for left-handed people. There are a lot of state and federal grants you can get that don't even have to be paid back.
Memorize your schedule, and know the location of your classes before school begins. This will help you to establish the most time efficient route possible. Make note of the bathrooms and other places you will need to go.
Getting the appropriate amount of sleep at the right times is essential. It is all too easy to stay up all night in college, but getting plenty of sleep is important. Too little sleep leads to an underactive and useless brain, so get your eight hours nightly.
Ride the bus to class. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. In fact, you can even save some time because you don't have to search for an available parking space. On top of that, you'll save a ton of money! Using public transportation is also a more environmentally friendly option.
Do not purchase your books until your classes start. Some classes do not use the book at all. Online classes rarely require you to actually purchase the book, although often times it is on the syllabus. You can often earn good grades by using nothing more than online resources and lecture notes.
Always purchase used textbooks. Textbooks tend to be price, especially when you purchase them new. Used text books will save you a great deal of cash.
Your college will have a department which can help you find a job while you're attending school. They can help you get a job both during your college career and after graduation. Often, they work in conjunction with the surrounding community and are the first to know about available job openings.
Friendships are very important and worthwhile in college. One way that you can meet others is by showing up early for your class. This allows you to help guide those who do not know whether or not they have arrived at the right place. This is a good way to break into a conversation.
Find likeminded friends who share your perspective on college. It is easier to succeed when those around you are also committed to growth. Still, you must have good times with your friends. You could find people that treat college in this manner.
Allow yourself short breaks. When you study too frequently, you'll actually retain less. Though you may have always been told that you can never study enough, that is not exactly true. Make sure you don't over do it.
Everyone knows a college degree makes a large difference in how much money he can makes. Excelling in college is not necessarily a skill that comes naturally, though, and wise advice can make the decisions a student faces a lot easier. When you use the above information, you will make better choices as far as college goes.

Being a creative thinker – the ability to 'think outside the box' is an important skill for students to have as we prepare them for a world that is in a constant state of change. Creative thinking is a skill that comes naturally to a lot of children and can help in the engagement of learning throughout life. This can be tied to meaningful tasks that challenge them in an imaginative way.
Being a problem solver – the ability to solve problems independently and with others is critical for the future where we will face many challenges that need out of the box thinking to solve. These complex problems that are currently unimaginable will be abundant and the more we develop children to find effect solutions to real-world problems (like stated in the IB curriculum) the more successful they will be.
Being able to collaborate – the ability to work with others and be sociable. Children are naturally curious and social through their use of social media and other instant networks. When schools do not provide opportunities for students to learn in this way through digital channels they become disengaged. Collaboration is an essential skill to help them learn and support their emotional well-being, especially in a time of constant change.
Being able to communicate effectively – the ability to communicate effectively means to communicate in the most appropriate way depending on the course of action required. Communication incorporates interactions that are both verbal and non-verbal, so it is essential for children to understand the diverse nature of this skill. Being fluent in communicating with technology is essential in the digital world we live, for both using digital media and interacting on a personal level.
Being ethical and empathetic – the ability to do the right thing, even when nobody is watching. The ability to be selfless, caring and helpful and respectful of others religions, cultures, races, and genders. This is one of the most critical skills that a 21st-century learner will need in my opinion as we move to a world that is safer, more harmonic and more respectful in every way. For children, this means to be able to be at 100% with everything they do both online and offline.

Inspired by the cooperative spirit of farmers across Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia, Happy Place is an offering that unites the flavors of three humble co-ops to create a blend you won't soon forget.
But blending together the little things doesn't just lead to great coffee—it's a powerful way to find joy in each day. Embrace the collective virtue of life's small pleasures, including your daily brew, and you'll discover that your happy place is never more than a thoughtful moment away.
The harmony of the velvety chocolate flavor, blackberry and guava fruitiness, and cola-like tang of this blend can't be accomplished with a single excellent coffee—it takes three.
This blend contains two coffees we've featured recently, Giving Tree and Quiet Storm, but it brings in a third from Kenya to create one of the tastiest coffee trios we've ever experienced. Give yourself the space to savor the exceptional well-roundedness you can only find in a blend like this.
Cheers To Your Happy Place
Our farm partners out in Nyeri, Kenya; Mt. Elgon, Uganda; and Guji, Ethiopia have dedicated a full season to these coffees, uniting resources with other local farmers via co-ops to ensure their beans could be enjoyed to the fullest by you.
Let these beans do what they're meant to: bring you to your happy place. Each sip is a chance to feel gratitude for the skilled farmers, let the rich flavors take your taste buds for a ride, and soak in a moment that's just for you.
These incredible beans are exclusively reserved for coffee club members, and are currently not available to the general public. To be the first to experience this artfully roasted offering, please join our specialty coffee membership today.

René Girard LOVE DELIGHTS IN PRAISES: A READING OF THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA Valentine and Proteus have been friends since their earliest childhood in Verona, and their two fathers want to send them to Milan for their education. Because of his love for a girl named Julia, Proteus refuses to leave Verona; Valentine goes to Milan alone. In spite ofJulia, however, Proteus misses Valentine greatly and, after a while, he, too, goes to Milan. The two friends are reunited in the ducal palace; the duke's daughter, Silvia, is present and Valentine briefly introduces Proteus. After she departs, Valentine announces that he loves her and his hyperbolical passion irritates Proteus. Once alone, however, Proteus has his own announcement to make: he no longer loves Julia; he, too, has fallen in love with Silvia: Even as one heat another heat expels, Or as one nail by strength drives out another, So the remembrance of my former love Is by a newer object quite forgotten.1 If there ever was a "love at first sight," this must be it, we think, but Proteus is not so sure: in three crucial lines, he suggests a different explanation: Is it mine eye, or Valentinus' praise, Her true perfection or my false transgression, That makes me reasonless, to reason thus? (Il.iv. 196-98) 231 232Philosophy and Literature The entire comedy massively confirms the crucial role of Valentine in the genesis of Proteus's sudden passion for Silvia. According to our romantic and individualistic ideology, a borrowed sentiment such as this one is not genuine enough to be really intense. This is not true in Shakespeare; Proteus's desire is so furious that he would actually rape Silvia if Valentine did not rescue her in extremis. When Shakespeare wrote his plays, the second-hand desire he portrays had no name, no official existence, but this is no longer true. We call it mimetic or mediated desire. Valentine is the model or mediator of this desire. Proteus is its mediated subject and Silvia is their common object. Mimetic desire can strike with the speed of lightning because it does not really depend upon the visual impact made by the object; it only seems to. Proteus desires Silvia not because their brief encounter made a decisive impression on him but because he is predisposed in favor of whatever Valentine desires. Mimetic desire is not some modern idea that I would force upon an unwilling writer; it is Shakespeare's own idea and we can see this again in Proteus's soliloquy, which keeps minimizing the role of perception in the genesis of his desire for Silvia: She is fair; and so is Julia that I love, That I did love, . . . (Il.iv. 199-200) IfSilvia is no more desirable objectively thanJulia, her only advantage is that Valentine already desires her. Shakespeare undermines the predominance of sight in the expression love at first sight. In A Midsummer Night's Dream as well, the two girls are said to be equally beautiful, also for the purpose of reinforcing the case for mimetic desire. II The dramatic context of this first mimetic desire, and of many others in Shakespeare, is the close and ancient friendship of the two protagonists . When Proteus is about to arrive in Milan, Valentine describes this friendship to Silvia and her father: I knew him as myself; for from our infancy We have convers'd and spent our hours together. (II.iv.62-63) René Girard233 When two young men grow up together, they learn the same lessons, they read the same books, they play the same games, and they agree on just about everything. They also tend to desire the same objects. This perpetual convergence is not incidental but essential to the friendship ; it occurs so regularly and inevitably that it seems preordained by some supernatural fate; it really depends on a mutual imitation so spontaneous and constant that it remains unconscious. When we think of imitation, we imagine two people copying each other's manners, habits, accents, and even their likes and dislikes in the still childish and innocent manner of two childish friends. We never think of what Proteus's desire for...

Baltimore chef Cindy Wolf again missed out on a James Beard Award, a prestigious honor in the culinary world. She was bested by Jeremiah Langhorne of The Dabney, a Chesapeake-inspired restaurant in Washington.
It was the seventh time Wolf, whose Foreman Wolf restaurant group owns such restaurants as Charleston, Bar Vasquez and Petit Louis Bistro, has been a finalist for Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic. She's been a semifinalist 11 times.
Wolf could not be immediately reached for comment.
The James Beard Foundation held its annual gala at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, where the organization unveiled the winners Monday night. The organization hands out awards for outstanding service, wine, pastry chefs and restaurants among other categories.
The event was emceed by Carla Hall, a Washington-based chef and co-host of ABC's "The Chew." This year's theme was "Rise," inviting chefs and viewers on Twitter to share what motivates them.
Wolf was one of five chefs nominated for the Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic category. Other nominees included Washington chefs Amy Brandwein, Tom Cunanan and Langhorne, and Philadelphia's Rich Landau.
Another Washington chef, José Andrés, was on hand to receive the organization's Humanitarian of the Year award for his work in Puerto Rico and Haiti.
Baltimore has taken home just one James Beard Award: Spike Gjerde, the chef of such restaurants as Woodberry Kitchen and Parts & Labor, won Best Chef: Mid Atlantic in 2015.

How it works
Coaching is conducted face-to-face in Central London and our first telephone chat is completely free, without obligation and will answer most of your preliminary questions. Evening slots are available though limited.
Your first step is to think about what you would like to get out of the coaching process. How would you finish the following sentence in 10 words or less:
"I want coaching to help me... "?
This will help us work out how many sessions, with what focus, are right for you. The average client books eight sessions, and some of the most common issues revolve around confidence, career change and finding a sense of purpose.
Sessions are typically conducted weekly at a mutually convenient time and location in Central London. Each session will have a 'theme' and will end by agreeing some homework for you to do around this theme. The homework may involving thinking, writing or trying something out, but will always be comfortable enough not to be scary and challenging enough to help you grow. The next session will then review the homework and how your week has been, before moving on.
Towards the end of our time together, we will start to think about how you will take things forward and integrate all the positive outcomes into your daily life.
Choosing your coach
There are several key questions to ask yourself about ANY new coach:
- What qualifies them to be a coach?
- What experience do they have?
- Do they have any relevant qualifications?
- Do you like them?!
Good rapport will be a crucial factor in ensuring your coaching is successful.
Outcomes and effects
An important part of the coaching process is understanding what you would like to get out of it. In fact one of the areas we will cover is 'goal setting' for those areas of your life you want to get into shape - so it would be strange not to set goals for our time together too!
So in order to be happy with the coaching results we need to know (a) what our starting point is and (b) what we are aiming for. As everyone is different, this makes describing these things pretty subjective: How do you define happiness? How can you put satisfaction on a scale? How can you decide that you will be feeling a certain way by a specific date? These things are difficult to pin down, so your initial consultation will get you thinking about them.
Outcomes will be always be defined by you, with guidance from me to ensure that they are realistic.
Ultimately it's about being control instead of feeling lost; becoming focussed, where you are undecided; feeling confident instead of unsure. Being more sure of who you are, what you're about and what you want from life.

Today I finally started working on my book again. Actually, I started completely rewriting it from the beginning. Not a huge rewrite – I'd only fleshed out three chapters (twice). But I think this book might actually have potential. Not that I think it's amazing or groundbreaking or anything like that. It's just that I think this might be the novel I actually finish. I've probably started around fifty books in the past ten years, and I think the longest is somewhere around 5,000 words (for reference, a short novel is around 50,000 words). I just have trouble pushing past the point when I sit back and think, "oh my god, this sucks." Which is the thought I have about almost everything I write. I am insanely self-critical – it's something else I'm trying to work on.
Anyway, I started procrastinating by thinking about all the ways I usually procrastinate writing. Super productive, I know. And I realized that I have a bad habit of hyper focusing on the tiny details. For example, when I first started writing this book, I wrote two different versions of the first three chapters because I couldn't decide which tense or point of view to write in. Important elements, but things that can be changed later. I once spent an entire eight hours downloading custom fonts to write in (including one that looks like Jane Austen's handwriting). And then never actually wrote what I was meaning to write. Another time, I spent
two four hours looking at designer dresses online so I could write an unnecessary one-sentence description of what a character was wearing.
Over the years, I have done the following instead of writing: memorized all the US Presidents in order, learned a good amount of Latin (another thing I want to do more), read about a thousand books, looked up famous first sentences approximately five-hundred times, taught myself a lot of bad words in German, repeatedly added thousands of dollars worth of stuff to a shopping cart on the Anthropologie website (and never bought any of it), looked for apartments I can't afford in cities I don't live in, created a database with thousands of first and last names to use for characters, took almost every single quiz on Buzzfeed, binge-watched half the shows on Netflix (some of them more than once), learned how to make French bread by hand, memorized the entirety of "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, taught myself how to knit (and crochet and cross stitch), and started this blog.
Every time I encounter a decision that I have to make in the writing process, I become utterly incapable of moving forward. What kind of flower should be growing in the yard? Let me look up flower meanings and where they grow and colors and whether or not they need shade or sun. And then instead of writing, I get sucked into gardening websites. Sometimes, having internet access is a horrible thing.
I know I should just write. Just get it all on paper and then go back and deal with the flowers. And the bizarre thing is, I have absolutely no problem doing this with academic work. I can spit out a twenty-page paper on Pride and Prejudice in a day, maybe two, no problem. But three paragraphs of fiction? Give me a week. Quite possibly a month.
It's honestly discouraging because, at this rate, I will literally never finish a book. So I know it's something I need to get past, and I am working on it. Right now, I'm going to force myself to keep writing instead of picking up my iPad to read (which is really tempting right now). But it won't be long until I let myself get distracted. (Also, it's four in the morning which means I probably will get distracted soon/take a nap – I woke up at one and couldn't go back to sleep. It's also why this post is so ramble-y.)
I've heard the advice a million times: just keep writing, get it on paper and then go back and make it good, just finish it. But for me, that's a huge challenge. It's something I'm working on, but I haven't found a good solution yet. I am making a concentrated effort to start each writing session without reading what I've already written because I will start editing, I can't control myself. And I occasionally leave brackets when I can't think of the exact word I want to use (which is painful and I hate it). But I still can't seem to get past the decisions involved in writing.

Crush a few blueberry skins in water and a dilute solution of the skin colouring material is produced. The coloured pigments in the blueberry skin are called anthocyanins and they make a good acid/base indicator.
The blueberry skins can also be smeared over filter paper producing a reddish/purple canvas on which to carry out 'electrolysis art'.
First the filter paper is moistened with a few drops of brine (saturated sodium chloride solution) and placed on a thin sheet of aluminium foil.
Then using a 4.5v dc laboratory power pack the aluminium foil is connected to the positive terminal with an electrical lead and a crocodile clip.
A paper clip was held in a second crocodile clip and connected to the negative terminal of the power pack.
The supply was turned on and when the paper clip (cathode) was passed over the filter paper electrolysis of the brine took place producing bubbles of colourless gas and turning the blueberry juice blue, green and yellow.
We also experimented by adding drops of white vinegar to the filter paper and these areas turned pinky-red.
Can you explain the colours produced by the blueberry juice?
What other dark coloured fruits and vegetables have pigments in their skins that might be used to in the same way?
Safety advice
If you carry out an experiment such as the one described above beware of touching the filter paper with your fingers since sodium hydroxide is produced around the cathode during the electrolysis process.

A 2012 report from the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Secretary of Education found that, as of the end of 2011, more than $8 billion in private student loans were in default and that even more were delinquent. This growing problem has not slowed down investors as more than $4 billion of private student loan asset-backed securities were issued in 2012. This year through February, dealers sold $5.6 billion of private student loan asset-backed securities, and the demand for the riskiest tranche of an issuance by Sallie Mae in late February was reportedly 15 times greater than the supply. On the other hand, lawmakers appear more concerned; several have introduced legislation to reform the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to allow borrowers to discharge their private student loans. Now, in another effort to address the issue, the CFPB has requested information from market participants, consumers, and other stakeholders on how to promote private student loan modifications.

|Claire from lost is at the lounge right meow! Hand to God. Picture to come. Hopefully.
|Claire from Lost was just at The Cobra Lounge!!!
I communicated with them in order to ask if they photographed her and if they knew why she was in the city. Unfortunately, they didn't take a photo of hers and they didn't know why she was there either... Let's hope that she is a part of a project that is filmed there!
UPDATE: I am really sorry but i was wrong about the location of the bar. The Cobra Lounge that Emilie visited is in Bellingham, WA, not in Seattle! Apparently, it's owner has bars in different areas (including Seattle). That's why i was confused (i am not from the U.S so i wasn't familiar with it). I would really like to thank a reader of the blog that mentioned that and commented in the post! Thnx anonymous friend ;)

|__________________ ____________________
Death of a Salesman- Willy's Escape
No one has a perfect life. Everyone has conflicts that they must face sooner or later. The ways in which people deal with these personal conflicts can differ as much as the people themselves. Some insist on ignoring the problem as long as possible, while some attack the problem to get it out of the way. Willy Lowman's technique in Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman, leads to very severe consequences. Willy never really does anything to help the situation, he just escapes into the past, whether intentionally or not, to happier times were problems were scarce. He uses this escape as if it were a narcotic, and as the play progresses, the reader learns that it can be a dangerous drug, because of it's addictiveness and it's deadliness. The first time Willy is seen lapsing off into the past is when he encounters Biff after arriving home. The conversation between Willy and Linda reflects Willy's disappointment in Biff and what he has become, which is, for the most part, a bum. After failing to deal adequately with his feelings, he escapes into a time when things were better for his family. It is not uncommon for one to think of better times at low points in their life in order to cheer themselves up so that they are able to deal with the problems they encounter, but Willy Lowman takes it one step further. His refusal to accept reality is so strong that in his mind he is transported back in time to relive one of the happier days of his life. It was a time when no one argued, Willy and Linda were younger, the financial situation was less of a burden, and Biff and Happy enthusiastically welcomed their father back home from a long road trip. Willy's need for the "drug" is satiated and he is reassured that everything will turn out okay, and the family will soon be as happy as it was in the good old days. The next flashback occurs during a discussion between Willy and Linda. Willy is depressed about his inability to make enough money to support his family, his looks, his personality and the success of his friend and neighbor, Charley. "My God if business doesn't pick up , I don't know what I'm gonna do!" (36) is the comment made by Willy after Linda figures the difference between the family's income and their expenses. Before Linda has a chance to offer any words of consolation Willy blurts out "I'm Fat. I'm very--foolish to look at, Linda" (37). In doing this he has depressed himself so much that he is visited by a woman with whom he is having an affair. The woman's purpose in this point of the play is to cheer him up. She raises his spirits by telling him how funny and loveable he is, saying "You do make me laugh....And I think you're a wonderful man." (38). And when he is reassured of his attractiveness and competence, the woman disappears, her purpose being fulfilled. Once again the drug has come to the rescue, postponing Willy's having to actually do something about his problem. The next day, when Willy is fired after initially going to ask his boss to be relocated is when the next journey into the past occurs. The point of the play during which this episode takes place is so dramatic that willy seeks a big hit of the flashback drug. Such a big hit in fact, that he is transported back to what was probably the happiest day of his life. Biff was going to play in Ebbets field in the All-Scholastic Championship game in front of thousands of people. Willy couldn't be prouder of his two popular sons who at the time had everything going for them and seemed destined to live great, important lives, much more so than the "liked, but not well liked" boy next door, Bernard. Willy's dependency on the "drug" is becoming greater by the hour, at this rate, he cannot remain sane for much longer. Too much of anything, even a good thing, can quickly become a bad thing. Evidence of this statement is seen during Willy's next flashback, when the drug he has been using for so long to avoid his problems backfires, giving him a "bad trip", quite possibly a side effect of overuse. This time he is brought back to one of the most disturbing moments in his life. It's the day that Biff had discovered his father's mistress while visiting him on one of his trips to ask him to come back home and negotiate with his math teacher to give him the four points he needed to pass math and graduate high school. This scene gives the reader a chance to fully understand the tension between Willy and Biff, and why things can never be the same. Throughout the play, the present has been full of misfortune for the most part, while the opposite is true for the past. The reader is left to wonder when the turning point occurred. What was the earth-shattering event that threw the entire Lowman family into a state of such constant tension? Now that event is revealed and Willy is out of good memories to return to. With the last hit of Willy's supply of the drug spent, what next? The comparison between Willy's voyages into the past and the use of a narcotic is so perceptible because of it's verity. When Willy's feeling down, or life seems just too tedious and insignificant, or when things just aren't going his way, why not take a hit of the old miracle drug, memories. The way he overuses his vivid imagination is sad because the only thing it's good for is enabling Willy to go through one more day of his piteous life, full of bitterness, confusion, depression, false hopefulness, and a feeling of love which he is trying very hard to express to his sons who seem reluctant to accept it.

Okay so I saw this knit and fell in love. I had to have it for my 80s dress. I love these ridiculous sleeves. They make me look busty!
Bernie's done for tonite. My back hurts from crawling on the floor cutting out patterns.
Wait'll ya see what I'm cookin' up for next time. ;)

Respite for caregivers Art therapy
OMA: the Power of Art Therapy for Dementia
People living with dementia hold enormous creative potential; OMA (Opening Minds through Art) has been proving this since its introduction to the Club 36 Adult Day Program in May 2014. The program, originally developed at the Scripps Gerontology Centre at Miami University, is based on a growing body of evidence that art therapy improves the physical and psychological wellbeing of people with dementia.
OMA breaks down generational and cognitive barriers by bringing together young and old in a unique collaboration that places the individual with dementia at the centre of the process. In this case, members of the Adult Day Program are partnered with nursing students from the University of Calgary, and the pair works together over a number of sessions. It's a mutually beneficial partnership, from which meaningful relationships and learning opportunities emerge.
"One of the most valuable learnings is that people with dementia may not remember who you are, but they will always remember how you made them feel," says one Faculty of Nursing student from the University of Calgary.
The nursing students, who first receive OMA training and dementia care strategies, work with their partner to gently guide and encourage their creativity to surface. The students learn how to work at a comfortable distance, eventually knowing when to provide support and when to step back and let the creative 'flow' take over. The process is broken down so that the person with dementia is given the opportunity to make manageable decisions at each stage; this alone can be an empowering and refreshing change from daily life.
Bringing in nursing students from the University of Calgary was the brainchild of Ali Cada, Program Manager at the Alzheimer Society of Calgary, who initiated the program. "OMA provides the opportunity for people living with dementia to build their confidence, create meaningful relationships and strengthen their self-autonomy," he says.
Christine Foran, Nursing Practice Instructor at the University of Calgary, Faculty of Nursing, has observed her students' personal and professional growth during the program. "As a nursing instructor, I am provided with the opportunity to witness the progression of students and the mastery in choosing different strategies to help clients get through difficult moments – from deciding to sit down and join the activity, to choosing different colours for their artwork, and interacting with other group members," she says.
"The 'aha' moments that students discuss are processes they will take into their nursing careers, developing awareness, sensitivity and compassion in their future relationships for all – and especially with people with dementia."
Since its inception, many beautiful works of art have materialized from OMA. The resulting pieces are a testament to the fact that people living with dementia are capable of creative expression. Already, compositions can be seen on display at both Club 36 locations, in the Alzheimer Society of Calgary office, and at the various homes of artists and recipients. Now, OMA is now being taken out into the wider community to other Adult Day Programs, so that more Calgarians impacted by the disease can benefit from the program.

The back of the curve is still getting pounded though, as selling pressure further out flattens the curve. For this analyst a loose indicator of natty prices is the number of days where I had to wear a toque on the walk to work, and its simply not high enough this winter to inspire heating demand. Today we see support around $1.76 and resistance around $1.95.

Hi. I've started to serve Papa Legba but one my known-for-vodou-woman recommended me not to give fruits and etc to Legba while my mediumism didn't leveled up to communicate well with spirits. She recommended me to give to Legba glass of water and to make ancestors altar (will do it). But I have some more questions:
1. I have to refresh water oftenly. So does it mean that while refreshing water I need to sing chant and light up candle or thats not neccessary and I may refresh water without ceremony?
2. Should it be boiled water?
3. May I server Papa Legba not just at mondays? Which days I mustnt (sunday)?
