with Sipho Bellinger
Sabar are a family of drums from Senegal, West Africa. Sabar drums are instruments of the géwël (more commonly known as "griot") caste of the Serer and Wolof ethnic groups, but as the "national drum" of Senegal the sabar is also use by the Toucouleur, the Peul and other ethnic groups there.
Carved from dimb wood, with a goat skin head attached by seven pegs and a lacing system that allows for tuning, the sabar drum is played with a stick and one hand. There are several different types of sabar that make up the ensemble, each with a particular sound and role.
This workshop will provide an introduction to the Sabar drum including a brief history, the technique and sounds of sabar drums, and playing sabar rhythms.
The workshop will be taught by Sipho Bellinger who has played hand drums for more than 25 years. Adopted into the Sing Sing family, the premier géwël family in Dakar, Senegal, Sipho has spent the 21st century learning about the géwël tradition and the sabar drum, which is central to this tradition.
Since 2002, Prof. Bellinger has co-taught a university class on the Sabar tradition with members of the Sing Sing family and other géwël families from Senegal.

I just bought my djembe from Alan yesterday so I'm really excited to play it again after the rain stops. (I like to play outside). I researched many places all across the US and tried Amazon and djembe makers in Pakistan. I found out that the sound of the djembe is 'boingy' if it wasn't carved in Africa. (My first 2 were from Pakistan though Amazon and another company didn't want to tell me that!) Anyway, huge difference to get a dry, solid African sounding djembe. Thank you!
Sara F.
I had my djembe re-headed with a goat skin by DrumConnection and it never sounded anything like this! I can't stop playing it. I didn't know so much of the value of a djembe was in how it was made with all the ropes and tensioning and a super high quality skin, tuned perfectly. I really can't stop playing my 'new' djembe :) Just to add that I wasn't a very good player before but now I play so much and so easily, I am so happy with this! Thanks Alan!
Doris G.
I was so impressed with the prompt delivery of a beautiful djembe to on of my teachers of spiritual mindfulness; he LOVED it! They selected the best djembe they had and shipped it to me in 2 days. It was a huge hit with my teacher. They also supplied us with all the care of the djembe tip sheet and how to tune the djembe video, which is very helpful. Good communication and perfect follow-thru.

I recently purchased a djembe drum from DrumConnection and am now taking lessons with him. He was so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the drums and taught me things I never knew I never knew about buying a drum. His classes are fun and engaging and he goes above and beyond the call of duty in helping us to learn and know about the history and origins of this sort of drumming, It has been in great addition to life particularly during Covid.
Mark W.
Excellent and knowledgeable instructors, classes that balance learning rhythms and technique accurately and having fun playing together, great people and community! Alan Tauber is an experienced teacher and drummer who has learned from the best players and djembe masters on the planet, and is happy to share his knowledge with students. I recommend Alan and DrumConnection highly!
Adam J. M.
When my son, who is now at Berklee, was in grammar school he studied djembe with Alan and I was so impressed with Alan's kind and fun manner of presenting complex rhythms. I later studied conga with Alan and one of his top notch teachers. The material was challenging but so satisfying. We also own a beautiful djembe we got from Alan. I highly recommend him as a teacher.
Terri M.
Learning the Drum at The Drum Connection is the best and most genuine experience around. I highly recommend The Drum Connection to anyone who is interested in learning how to play the African drum and all it has to offer.
Dalena T.
I bought an insanely beautiful, well-crafted, high quality djembe off Alan a couple months ago. It took me about two hours to finalize my decision but he never once rushed me. Felt like I was just chilling with an old pal. Made me laugh a lot! He's got an off-beat but refreshing sense of humor. To top it off he also gave me a WONDERFUL deal on the drum! I also began taking classes with him, he's fun, engaging, and so lighthearted! Throughout the class he makes sure everyone is on the same page.. And he KNOWS HIS STUFF. Thank you Alan for all you do and provide. Can't recommend him highly enough.
Joshua M.
I have taken lots of classes with Drum Connection teachers and Alan Tauber. His classes are always fun and I have learned a lot about playing Djembe and the traditions and melodies surrounding the instrument. In addition to his own classes, I have taken classes and workshops with other teachers he brings in occasionally - they are always great. And just as important, his students are always supportive of one another - the general feeling is that everyone was a beginner once and everyone helps each other if they can.
Paula P.
I was welcomed with open arms, and having only touched a drum once before, had no idea what to do. I walked in off the street and immediately John Tracy sat with me and taught me a simple rhythm. I ended up taking a series of lessons with Alan Tauber, and joining a number of drum circles. I loved being welcomed into the community .. to this day, I drum with people from the DrumConnection. The gentle and experienced people there are enthusiastically committed to teaching all levels of drumming.
Jenna M.
Alan's enthusiasm for drum playing is infectious! He shares his warm heart, patience, and talents with all students.
Lisa K.
Coming in as a novice, it could have been intimidating. It was the opposite! Warm and welcoming! Alan has such patience and skill in helping me get to the next stage in drumming! Such a blast doing outdoor classes! And always enjoyed the camaraderie with my fellow students.
I went for my first drumming class yesterday. Alan and Nancy met me with a big smile and created such a loving and caring atmosphere making me feel really comfortable and accepted. I have no musical experience and was really worried of how the class would flow. They were just amazing. I don't have enough words to express how magical the class was. I can't wait to go back and I have been telling all my friends about drumming. It's the best therapy for your mind and soul!!!

Nancy Browne recommends DrumConnection
This is a great class taught by remarkable drummer and gifted teacher, Alan Tauber! It's something I just want to share with everyone, so much fun and such a wonderful way to connect with other people in a deep, uplifting musical way. You will feel supported and uplifted at the same time as you learn to play the hand drums with others who learn and play along with you! A very, very special experience awaits all who take this class. You will not be disappointed. If I could, I would give this class as a gift to everyone I know!

This place should be called, "percussion heaven". You can find every sort of percussion instrument and accessory here, all in one place. The staff is very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. They have professional djembes and dunun . They also sponsor local drum circles and have drum classes with the very talented owner as well as master drummers from around the globe. They also offer a wide variety of CD's. One of the best shops ever!

I was thrilled to find that this store doesn't just have hand drums, but is also well-stocked with hardware and parts for rock drum kits. And if they don't stock something you need, they'll order it for you or point you in the right direction.
Alan, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and helpful if I have questions or need advice. When I came in last year wanting to restore my vintage kit, I had no idea where to start, and Alan helped me through the entire process, from cleaning, de-rusting, to finding missing parts. Whenever I have a problem with my kit or something breaks, I always go to Alan first (it's a good idea to call the store to see when he's working!) Often he'll find a way to fix it without having to purchase new parts.
Definitely recommend this gem over bigger places like Guitar Center.

Alan's knowledge is vast...
I needed to replace the head on a djembe. I live on the south shore of MA, and was having a hard time finding a place to do the job. I discovered the DrumConnection through a list serve and found the best resource I could hope for. Alan's knowledge is vast, and the service was done professionally, on time, and at a reasonable price. I do not need to look any further for my hand drumming needs.

Thank you Alan, Thierno, Audrey, Issa and Moussa!
At DrumConnection, I began my beginners' class feeling lost and insecure. However, while the drum is quite challenging, I have felt more and more connected to the group thanks to the wonderful teachers, and the kindness and acceptance of other drummers.
In other words I am deeply indebted and grateful for the opportunity to expand my skills, horizons, and sense of belonging thanks to the drum. The ongoing learning experience is challenging, exhilarating and humbling. Thank you Alan, Thierno, Audrey, Issa and Moussa, and thank you to all my fellow students!

I watched Alan help a gentleman trying to rent an accordion. Yes, this sounds like a Seinfeld script, but it was touching seeing Alan help someone out. Additionally, the store is well supplied, and the prices are quote reasonable for being able to get your hands on what you need right now. Truly, an asset to the community!

I have spent several wonderful weekends at DrumConnection studying drumming rhythms with various master drummers (djembefolas) and I just want to thank Alan and the wonderful community of people I met at there for a wonderful, fun, inspiring and informative time.

Alan the owner is always friendly and helpful. When I was looking for a drum, he chose 4 drums he thought I might like, each unique. He helped me sort out the differences to find the combination of pluses that added up to the perfect drum for me.
Alan the teacher is a non-judgmental, supportive, and clear instructor whose decades of experience and amazing skill as a drummer combine to provide a safe and inspiring learning environment. I've studied with four other DrumConnection instructors and each is excellent in his or her own ways, and all certified by examination.
A great store and a wonderful school. I recommend it without reservations.

The beginner drum class was extra special. Taught by Thierno Keita-what a wonderful escape each week from the work-a-day world into a world of rhythm and movement. Great for the brain and the soul. Alan Tauber, who runs the Drum Connection could not be kinder or more devoted to his art. This has been a postive turn for me and I will continue on this road with pleasure.

The drum I purchased from Alan several years ago is both beautiful and is a joy to use. The classes are fantastic -- designed for all skills levels and taught by master teachers that are knowledgeable and exciting.
They are patient and know how to break rhythms down to bite size. I have enrolled my 4 year old in the children's drum class and it is dynamic -- teaching movement and African songs. She loves it and loves her teachers."

I am new to drumming and am having a ball. I went to a Sunday night lecture and lesson on one type of drums and followed that with 2 Sunday night drumming circles with an excellent teacher-but not at the rank beginner level. Still, I loved it and just tried to follow and keep up.
Now I am in a beginner class and I am still enjoying every minute. Alan is a kind and welcoming person. He coordinates to bring in a variety of excellent teachers and classes take place most every day of the week. He gives great advice about what to purchase and has rentals available. Come join the fun!

This is the first time I took drum lessons. I have taken piano lessons off and on for years. I really enjoy playing the drums. I had two teachers. They both had their individual style of teaching. I found that Alan is an excellent teacher. I would recommend anyone with a desire to learn drumming to check out DrumConnection. I haven't gone to their drum circle yet, but that's the next step for me. I am finishing up my first six weeks of classes, two more classes to go.

I'm new to the djembe and drum circles in general. The drum circle I attended last week was a blast. Very relaxed and friendly, the drumming was amazing. Alan and Fanta were both very warm and welcoming. As others have noted, great energy. I'm definitely going back.
5.0 star rating Incredible Drums!
I returned to the store today to purchase my first djembe. Alan was more than helpful. He gave a mini-lesson on the spot so I would know how to evaluate the variety of drums, their tonal differences, etc. He also played several of them for me to have a better impression of what it sounds like once technique is mastered. The drum I finally settled on is incredible, love it. My wife was looking for a bodhran, and he gave demonstrations of those as well!
Way better than 5 stars!
Alan clearly loves what he is doing and it shows in the friendly, professional and deeply knowledgeable service. Way better than 5 stars.

Alan was so helpful. He came highly recommended, and lived up to it. I got a wonderful drum for my nephew - have not yet given it to him, but he is going to love it.

Honestly, I can't say enough good things about DrumConnection. Alan and John helped me pick out the perfect drum, and when I came in tonight, Alan talked with me for at least an hour about technique, the history of the djembe coming to America, and more. The place is warm and inviting, and the people who work there are the same. I am confident I chose the best place to start my drumming journey, and I will be back for their classes! Five stars all the way!

Amazing Store.
My son is now starting drum lessons. We stopped in to purchase a drum pad and drum sticks. This is an amazing store. There is much to learn about choosing an instrument that suits you...and we were encouraged not to rush in and spend a lot of money at this stage. The store is packed with drums (mostly hand drums) and each visitor is encouraged to try out items that spark their interest. While visiting, my son tried several thumb pianos as well.

As always Alan was right there to make sure I got exactly what I was looking for. He even sent me a photo/text to confirm that he had the correct size, shape and sound of rattle I needed. This was that perfect combination of personal service and immediate results.

Hey just wanted to write you a note to tell you how much I absolutely love the drum! It was the perfect choice for me. The slaps are just incredible and yet it gives good bass response. I brought it to work to play with the children and it was just such the perfect instrument. It's just the right one for me and I'm really thrilled with it. Thanks so much.

Thanks Alan for your undivided attention today as I purchased the replacement head for the djembe I had previously bought at DrumConnection. Could not be more satisfied!

Subhash Ghai's Taal and I have a complicated relationship. Part of me loves it, just absolutely loves it, and part of me has become wary of it after reading analysis by Filmi Geek and Philip's Filums and then considering it on my own in the cold light of...um...having finished rewatching it and therefore not, at this very moment, basking in its glow of relentless beauty and razzle-dazzle. In a handy convergence of media consumption, my recent preparing-for-a-trip-to-London-to-see-
In the story, the time-traveling alien Doctor and his human companion, Donna, show up at Pompeii the day before the eruption of 79. This is Donna's first trip through time, and she is distraught when the Doctor tells her they can't save the inhabitants of Pompeii from the disaster they know is about to happen. She pleads, pointing out that he's saved the world in their previous adventures. He admits that this is true but then explains that some history is fixed and some is in flux - and the destruction of Pompeii by Vesuvius is, unfortuantely, fixed. (If you want to know more, here are episode information, analysis, and quotes.) This becomes a really nifty idea if we expand it beyond the rare ability to alter a past we know to have happened a certain way to our very real, very personal-level ability to revisit our thoughts and impressions. We can't change the past, but we can change how we think about it. We can't change our contemporary reactions, but we can combine them with subsequent experiences and information to create new understanding. Anyway. Some aspects of how I react to Taal are fixed because they're tied to a very meaningful experience with the film, and others are in flux, changing with ongoing synthesis of what I have learned and thought about since that initial experience. The fact that I can even raise this point probably says something good about the film: it has enough interesting and thought-provoking elements in it to invite revisiting and to feed a discussion years after I first saw it.
Taal was one of the very first Hindi films I saw, and I was lucky enough to see it with a packed audience at a restored historic theater a few minutes' drive from my house. Local boy Roger Ebert included it in his Overlooked Film Festival in 2005 (his review/program notes here), and present for the panel discussion afterward was...Subhash Ghai. There's really nothing that could have made this a better experience, and I was completely overwhelmed by the visual beauty and music of the film. Watching it in that setting - and with my brand-new eyes - was like spending a few hours in the hot summer sun - beautiful, indulgent, and life-giving but likely to make you feel a bit stunned after. Or, to put it more cynically, this is a fantastically unsubtle movie, and it's quite possible that Ghai (and maybe A. R. Rahman) conked me with a sledgehammer while I was in the theater and I couldn't think clearly after that. Either way, I was in love with it from its opening scene, the heroine's modern-dance musical dream.
From that moment on, I was thrilled with its colors, its love story, its mountaintops and rain, its high drama, its gorgeous music, its giant dance numbers, its overall spectacle - frankly, all the usual stuff that people new to Indian films rave about. The audience was really into the movie too, and it got big reactions throughout. (The other panelist, Gerson da Cunha, said how pleased he was that the film's humor and other emotional moments translated so well and were effective in this foreign context.)
And yes, the Akshaye factor had begun (this was the first of his movies I saw). I thought he was cute, but I was also enamored of a male lead who dances. We don't get much of that in mainstream American cinema.
Also, it had scenes of my former stomping ground, Toronto and other bits of southwestern Ontario.
The joy I felt watching this movie is absolutely fixed, and I admit that every time I watch it I can look straight past the movie's shortcomings and just glow happily in my memories of seeing it for the first time. Probably dozens of other films would have made me feel the same way, especially in the film festival atmosphere with an involved, appreciative audience and a panel discussion with one of my favorite film critics and the director of the movie! There may not be anything particularly special about Taal - and I've since seen many movies that are more spectacular, beautiful, charming, and substantial - but the film will always be special to me.
Now when I read critiques of Taal, I wonder why I didn't see its problems more clearly. For me, the most brow-furrowing of them are the flat depiction of heroine Mansi (Aishwarya Rai), the demonization of the "modern" and "western" woman and her family,
and major portions of the personality of Akshaye's Manav, the stalker-y, arrogant romantic lead.
The dominance of the male gaze. There is a scene later of Anil Kapoor filming her too.
These are the kinds of things I tend to notice and get worked up about - so why didn't I see them the first time I watched the movie, before I had become familiar with these particular Bollywood tropes? I was that dazzled, I guess. And quite possibly put the movie on a pedestal, a status which the flux thoughts are helping to fix. When I read Prof. Lutgendorf's review, I kept nodding, thinking "Yep, those are completely fair criticisms, that analysis makes sense," yet none of them had struck me - and even knowing them as I re-watched, even with the evidence right in front of me, very few leaped to mind.
Poor Mansi. She has an interesting story arc, what with her huge fame and new life and their accompanying moral dilemmas, but nothing is made of these potential challenges and opportunities for character development. As Filmi Geek points out, her musical stardom seems to be included just as an excuse to situate the big song picturizations, and nothing more is done with it, even though clearly such a life event would really affect the character. Even her love life is presented without nuance: sure, she can choose between two guys, but they're pretty much the same guy. Should she pick the rich, musical, pushy, frank, bad-hair guy who offended her father, who might be slightly more earnest and is definitely more age-appropriate, or the rich, musical, pushy, frank, bad-jewelry guy who stole from her father (one-man music industry Vikrant, played by Anil Kapoor), who is sort of sweet in his own authority-figure, megalomaniacal way (but only sort of)?
Either option comes with a fur coat.
Yikes. Girl, take your money and run. (As a side note about their similarities and Mansi's non-developed character, both Manav and Vikrant compare themselves to filmi heroes; Mansi never says anything like that, even though her instant stardom actually is like something out of the movies.)
Oh, Manav. On one hand, he utterly fails to comprehend the basic life lesson "no means no" and sometime he's the tiresome moody-broody sort.
But on the other, his matter-of-factness about his love can be cute, like in his request for yoga lessons and the adorable copycat flirting scene.
One of the things I enjoyed about Manav initially is that he's eager to be with his family and to explore his new home. He sees India through newbie tourist eyes just like I was doing - and using him as a lens, the story indulges in some cheesy but satisfying shots of colorful markets, convivial crowded trains, folk art, etc.
I'm not against the technique, but its effect here is a little facile. (Especially when the director walks through a scene of a market as a toursit listening to a song from his own movie about the motherland and foreignness.)
In another angle of the movie's presentation of "Indianness," there is some interesting conversation about various values held by the traditional mountain folk (represented by Mansi's father, Tarababu [Alok Nath]),
who are artists, and the modern city folk (led by Manav's father [Amrish Puri] and aunt, the afore-mentioned "anglicized witch"),
who are, of course, part of a vaguely-sketched corporate world. The dichotomy of these two stereotyped kinds of Indian characters is completely predictable, but I like that the script sets up both groups as capable of snobbery and hypocrisy - and of learning, changing, and reconciling. Both families also have mediators (who are women, interestingly) who try to help the young'uns navigate their complicated situations. Mansi's aunt lives in the city and knows something about the media industry, and Manav's grandmother encourages him to stay true to his feelings (and gives us the movie's tagline).
The way Taal shows India and Indian culture has, thankfully, and as is only reasonable, fallen into my flux category. I certainly never thought Taal was documentary on most points, but I don't remember bothering to analyze its portrayals of traditional vs. modern or romanticized "India is alive with color!" very hard, either. Taal is not unique in trading in these elements, but now I understand a lot more about what Ghai was up to in using them. There is a lot of visual cheese in this movie that I am still moved by, even though I realize it's cheesy. Stunning mountaintops!
Melancholy boy and friends dance through the city streets in a windstorm!
He also rollerblades contemplatively. "Nahin Saamne" is super sappy (in a good way), but for a split second Akshaye looks straight at the camera with his classic half-smile and then he and the backup dancers sweep into - and hold - a balletic, ridiculously heroic, almost statue-like pose as the wind rages.
I read this as tongue-in-cheek (by the actor or by the character? I don't know!); that's probably not how it was meant, but sometimes I like a little pepper in my syrup. I am firmly in the "Aishwarya is the most beautiful woman in the world" camp and could watch this movie a dozen more times just to look at her in Mansi's staggering array of crazy stage costumes.
I love the glamazon outfits, but I actually thought she was prettiest while frolicking with her friends in the rain in the equally lovely title song.
Which brings me to a very important point: the songs of Taal, both in the context of the movie and on their own, are superb. If you haven't seen the songs from this movie, go do so right this minute. In the fixed/flux system, the songs are utterly fixed in all their glory, and I wouldn't have them any other way. (Now I'm wondering if I generally tend over time to change my mind less about music and picturizations than about other aspects of movies? Hmmm.)
Maybe I feel about Taal like Mansi feels about Manav: its early impression is the one that remains, and I still love it, even though I know better. The important thing is that I'm still thinking about it and can still love the parts of it that I know to be worth loving.
You can't watch a movie five times in the last few years without collecting some details, can you?
- At Mansi's MTV party, we see a sign for the event organizer. Post-Clinton, I find this funny, even though the spelling is different.
- At that same party, and then later at an airport, there's a guy in a Philadelphia Flyers jersey.
I like to think this is included as an unspoken joke about Askhaye's "hockey hair," as my Canadian friends call a mullet. - Many reviewers have commented on how product placement-heavy this movie is - Coke-bottle flirting! jokes about Coke sponsorship! -
so you'd think someone would have made sure Manav had the right brand in hand at the MTV party. - Vikrant's studio/rehearsal space is design hodge-podge, but I'm especially fond of his huge mural of himslef with a baton and the music-symbol-printed dance floor.
- Awww, baby Shahid Kapoor!

It is a good day for Mediaphiles.
congrats on the anniversary man. there was a time when public address was my no.1 tether to a much-missed turangawaewae. that's something you don't forget.
Russell Brown, in reply to
It is a good day for Mediaphiles.
I see what you did there.
I will add my thanks to David Hood, for programming the Referendum tool!
If there were a way of making regular contributions (say, $20 or 30 each month), I would like that--better than paying the rates or the gas bill.
Any thoughts of a picnic or such this summer, where we could raise an actual glass of some beverage in honour of this anniversary?
I can't come near to describing accurately what Public Address has brought into my life. Friends, laughter, not a few tears. Most importantly, it has been a community of people who I am immensely proud to be a part of. And none of that would have happened without your considerable energy and time, Russell. One day, you'll slow down, I'm sure, but until that day, just keep doing what you do. It's important, and it's rewarding for more people than any of those Nielsen thingies can even imagine.
And PAS folk have such a huge range of interests--just witness the Capture conversation about spring and things,
I second Jackie's sentiments. . I certainly encounter more enlightened and interesting conversations here than in the academic circles I move in,
Happy Birthday PA and well done, Rascally Russel. Thanks for the opportunity to post and to join in and for giving Keith and co a place to do some of the best reporting in the land.
+1 to that Jackie!
I first came across PA when Jolisa broke the Witi story. We bought the book for my mother in law for her birthday and attached Jolisa's blog post and the article from the Listener for extra homework :-) I love reading Busy Town; few and far between as the posts are, they are always gold. And I was lucky enough to run into Jolisa at a performance of Alice in Wonderland, which seems somehow appropriate.
And I've learnt so much from Emma! She has helped to open up and refine my views on a whole lot of things.
And of course, your own prolific and pointed articles Russell always keep me up to date with NZ media and politics and more.
And my friend Paul Williams and I often get a kick out of the fact that he a kiwi in Australia and me an aussie in New Zealand both hang out here.
So, what Jackie said really. A huge congrats for starting and keeping this thing going!
Yes, well done Russell and a big pat on the back to everyone here, bloggers past and present and the PAS regulars (and the lurkers too of course, I love you because you don't answer back ;)
I noticed the anniversary approaching when Maurice Williamson made his comments about the four years bloggers have been on this 6000 year old planet. Even at 10 years we are but a speck, but it's been a really enjoyable speck, and so thanks for that Russell - for asking me to be part of PA as a result (I assume) of my rants on bFM - for explaining what a blog was a minute later - and your infuriating ability to come up with a far more comprehensive, thoroughly researched and well thought-out post on the very thing I'm halfway through writing. Let's just assume that's the reason for you being far more prodigious than I am in output shall we ;)
Seriously though, cheers. I can pretty much trace exactly where I am now to your invitation to join PA. And by that I don't mean sitting in my dressing gown at home waiting until Back Benches starts up next year, I mean all the great stuff that's happened these past ten years. You've been a big part of that. Ta x.
Russell Brown, in reply to
I will add my thanks to David Hood, for programming the Referendum tool!
And I think that's a great example of the way readers step up and contribute here. Thanks to both you and David, Graeme.
Russell Brown, in reply to
for asking me to be part of PA as a result (I assume) of my rants on bFM
Yep, the ones you did on your Wire show. I thought: dude can form an argument. I'm really pleased that invitation did something to bring you to the attention of people who paid you :-)
I'll add my congratulations to! I look at my member since nov 06 tag with some pride but I note it is not rare, many many people here have been here from the start.
you have kept this merry bunch of fools together for sometime now Russell
Thank You
Congrats on the ten years, brosi! I started as an avid listener in the 90's, a wee step on my pathway to being more aware of the world I inhabit and interact with. The influence upon me from you and the other contributers is immeasurable. Thanks to you, and to everyone involved. Salute.
Thanks for public address Russell et al.
Jesse the Lurker. -
I've been lurking since Hard News was listen-only, and almost never comment: mostly because I'm usually a few days behind the play, but partly because when I do it depresses me: l'esprit d'escalier still works even in slo-mo. But let me just pop up to say that this has been my most valued chunk of the internet since it used to arrive in my inbox. Congratulations Russell, and everyone else, and thank you all for making the world just that little bit a better and more enlightened place.
Happy anniversary Russell. It's been our pleasure to be involved and to watch PA grow from an idea into this city.
JWT1, in reply to
Agree with Dave. Found Hard News when I spent a year in Houston in 1995 and it was a valued link with NZ. Have been an avid follower ever since but largely a lurker. Please keep up the good work.
you appalling shower of middle-class technocrats
aw shucks
Only 10 years! PA is such a critical part of my opinion reading that it feels like it has been part of my life for longer (of course various forms of Russell's writing have been, for considerably longer than that). Happy birthday, dear us.
Paul Williams, in reply to
there was a time when public address was my no.1 tether to a much-missed turangawaewae. that's something you don't forget.
It's still mine. Congrats.
I can't come near to describing accurately what Public Address has brought into my life. Friends, laughter, not a few tears. Most importantly, it has been a community of people who I am immensely proud to be a part of.
That's it perfectly put. Thanks Jacki.
And my friend Paul Williams and I often get a kick out of the fact that he a kiwi in Australia and me an aussie in New Zealand both hang out here.
Have I ever told you that you're good-looking, smart and generous?
Oh now you say nice things :P.
And no not that I remember so say it again ... needy moi?
I found Public Address the year I started uni, which was not so long before PAS opened for business; I really can't understate how many fun and engaging discussions I've had here, and how much of a lifeline back to NZ it's been since I moved overseas, especially (but not only because of) when the Christchurch earthquakes happened.
I hope it lasts as long as everyone here wants it to, however long - and I hope it is long - that may be.
Congrats- and here's to another great decade! :)
Very serious congratulations Mr Brown and everybody else.....
Public Address is a seriously amazing community of intelligent articulation.
It has been a pleasure working with you over the years and here's to 10 more years!
Yes we can!

WASHINGTON – The United States Helsinki Commission will conduct a briefing to explore the renewal of talks on Cyprus between Cypriot President Glafcos Clerides and Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash. The briefing will feature United States Special Coordinator for Cyprus Ambassador Thomas G. Weston.
Current Developments in Cyprus
Tuesday, December 4, 2001
10:00 AM to 11:30 AM
340 Cannon House Office Building
Ambassador Weston will discuss the developing talks between the two leaders; the current status of the United Nations sponsored talks; implications of European Union expansion; and the leadership on both sides of the Cyprus issue and where the respective leaders stand on the issues. Cyprus was an original signatory to the 1975 Helsinki Final Act and is a participating State in the 55-nation Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
President Clerides and Turkish Cypriot leader Denktash have agreed to meet in Nicosia on Tuesday, December 4, 2001 with talks reportedly aimed toward resolution of the longstanding conflict on the island.
Britain's Lord Hannay and United Nations envoy Alvaro de Soto will travel to Cyprus in an effort to advance the peace process. Hannay is expected to visit Ankara, Athens, and Nicosia next week. De Soto is expected to arrive in Athens December 2, for the meeting at the residence of U.N. Representative Zbigniew Wlosowicz. President Clerides has reportedly indicated he is prepared to meet with Denktash to lay the groundwork to resume U.N.–brokered talks which Denktash abandoned last year.
Ambassador Weston was named Special Coordinator for Cyprus in August 1999. As mandated by the President, the Special Coordinator for Cyprus is dedicated to facilitating a permanent settlement of the Cyprus problem.
Ambassador Weston, a Minister-Counselor in the Senior Foreign Service, most recently served as Special Coordinator for Summits in the Bureau of European Affairs. Prior to his service as a Senior Inspector in the Office of the Inspector General in 1998, he was Charge d'Affaires to Canada. Before going to Ottawa in June 1996, Weston was Director of Studies at the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy at the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.
In 1993 –1994, Weston served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Canadian Affairs, responsible for multilateral diplomacy with Europe including U.S. participation in NATO, the OSCE, and the OECD and U.S. relations with the European Union, the Western European Union, and the Council of Europe. Prior to that he served at the U.S. Mission to the European Union as Deputy Chief of Mission and had tours in Bonn, Bremen, and Kinshasa.

text: Are you ready for Christmas? Is your tree up and decorated, your garland hung, and your seasonal decor put out? Have you started Christmas shopping? Sometimes it all can seem so overwhelming, but I enjoy every bit of the Christmas preparation. The days are shorter and the nights are cold, yet I love all the cheer. When we were visiting Chicago last week, I couldn't get enough of all the twinking lights everywhere in the streets and storefronts. Even though it is easy to get caught up in it all, we must remember the greatest gift of all is God's Son sent to save us from our sin. And He is the Reason for the Season!

Seraphim (Ivanov) of Chicago
His Eminence, the Most Reverend Seraphim (Ivanov) was a hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia and the second ruling bishop of the Diocese of Chicago and Detroit (now the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America).
Leonid Georgievich Ivanov was born in Kursk, Russia in 1897. After completing his elementary and secondary education, graduating in 1915, from the Kursk Gymnasium (High School) in Kursk, Leonid entered the Philosophy Faculty of Moscow University. His education was interrupted by World War I when he was called to serve in the Imperial Russian Army. After taking part in offensive action with the First Siberian Corps, he was assigned to the Sergievsky Artillery School in Odessa, Russia. In late 1918, he visited Kursk for the funeral of his mother before joining the White Army following the Bolshevik takeover of the government of Russia in early November 1917. While serving with the Kornilov regiment, he contracted typhus during the retreat to the Black Sea. After recovering from the illness, he was evacuated with the White Army and emigrated to Yugoslavia. After arriving in Yugoslavia, Leonid entered the Philosophy Faculty of Belgrade University, but soon changed to the Theology Faculty. After graduating he taught the Law of God at a Serbian high school in Skopje. In 1926, Leonid undertook a pilgrimage to Mount Athos where he sought guidance about his future from a holy elder. After visiting and praying with the Elder Theodossy of Karoulia and the blind Hieroschemamonk Elder Ignaty, Leonid returned to Yugoslavia before entering St. Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos. There he received his tonsure as a monk on August 1, 1926, the feast day of the Opening of the relics of St Seraphim of Sarov, and thus received the name Seraphim.
Returning to Skopje, the monk Seraphim was ordained a priest by Metropolitan Varnava of Skopje, later Patriarch of Serbia. Seraphim served until 1928 as a parish priest in Skopje before joining the Monastery of St. Job of Pochaev in Ladomirova, Czechoslovakia (present day Slovakia).
In 1934, hieromonk Seraphim was raised to the rank of archimandrite and appointed abbot of the monastery by Metr. Anthony (Khrapovitsky) to replace Archimandrite Vitaly (Maximenko) who had been consecrated bishop and had moved to America. During the years Archimandrite Seraphim led St. Job of Pochaev Monastery he placed great importance on its printing capabilities, developing it to the most important printing center of ROCOR. During World War II, the monastery press produced Orthodox literature for distribution in German occupied areas of the Soviet Union.
In 1944, after the war turned against the German forces. Archimandrite Seraphim and the brotherhood of the monastery fled before the advancing Soviet forces. After first going to Berlin, they fled to Switzerland. In February 1946, in Switzerland, Archimandrite Seraphim was consecrated Bishop of Santiago and Chile at the Cathedral of the Elevation of the Cross in Geneva by Metr. Anastassy (Gribanovsky) who assisted by Bps. Jeronim (Chernov) of Montreal and Nathaneil (Lvov) of Brussels and Western Europe.
Not being able to assume his post in Chile, Bp. Seraphim then emigrated to the United States with the brotherhood from St. Job monastery, where they joined the Holy Trinity Monastery at Jordanville, New York. Bp. Seraphim was then named abbot of the monastery with the title of Bishop of Holy Trinity and vicar of the Diocese of Eastern America.
In 1948, Bp. Seraphim initiated the founding of the New Kursk Root Hermitage in Mahopac, New York to serve as the home for the Kursk Root Icon and as headquarters of the Synod of Bishops from 1951 to 1958. Then, both moved to 75 East 93rd Street in New York City. Between 1951 and 1957 Bp. Seraphim headed the Hermitage and was a permanent member of the Synod of Bishops.
In October 1957, Bp. Seraphim was appointed ruling bishop of the Diocese of Chicago, Detroit, and Midwest succeeding Abp. Gregory (Borishkevitch) who had reposed. In 1959, he was elevated to archbishop.
In 1960, Abp. Seraphim and Abp. Theophil (Ionscu), a Romanian bishop who was a member of ROCOR, consecrated Archimandrite Akakios, a member of the Greek Old Calendar Church, a bishop. Metr. Anastassy and the Holy Synod, however, did not sanction the consecration. In late 1969, however, Metr. Philaret and the Synod confirmed the consecration.
Being very interested in the youth of the church, Abp. Seraphim established the Organization of Russian Orthodox Pathfinders which established a summer camp in a rural area west of Chicago, called Vladimirovo, This led to his appointment by the Holy Synod to oversee the youth programs for all of ROCOR.
In 1974, at the request of Abp. Seraphim, Igumen Alypy (Gammanovich) was consecrated Bishop of Cleveland a vicar to the Diocese of Chicago and Detroit. Igumen Alypy was consecrated in October 1974 in the Holy Virgin Protection Cathedral in Chicago. In 1976, Abp. Seraphim became the first deputy to Metr. Philaret.
As age began to take its toll on his physical strength, in the mid 1980s, Abp. Seraphim retired to the New Kursk Root Hermitage in Mahopac with Archimandrite Feofan where he reposed in 1987. He was buried in the hermitage's cemetery..

Dry eyes are a common problem for many individuals particularly during the winter months when exposure to dry air and whipping wind is increased. However, if you are suffering from dry eyes that just won't go away, you may have what is known as Dry Eye Syndrome – a condition in which the tears that lubricate and nourish the eye are not being produced sufficiently.
Tears serve to keep the surface of the eye moist, smooth and clear, to reduce the risk of infection and to remove foreign substances. Tear ducts in the corner of the eyelid drain the excess tears. Dry eyes syndrome is a chronic condition characterized by inadequate tear production or poor quality of the tears produced. A number of factors contribute to the condition including advanced age, female gender, environmental conditions, medication or particular medical conditions. Extended periods reading or working on a computer without blinking, prolonged use of contacts or refractive eye surgeries can also contribute to decreased moisture and tear production.
An optometrist will be able to determine whether you have chronic dry eye syndrome by examining your eye and your blinking pattern, measuring the amount and quality of your tears and assessing your medical and environmental history.
Symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome include:
• Persistent dry eyes
• Scratchiness or gritty sensation
• Burning sensation
• Feeling like there is something is in your eye
• Excessively watery eyes
• Blurred vision
If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is worthwhile to schedule an appointment with your optometrist. If you have dry eye syndrome, there are treatments available to relieve your discomfort.

Seismic activity is on the rise, with earthquakes occurring all over the U.S. Some areas have a higher risk of earthquakes, but one cannot be completely confident that any area will never be hit. While coverage is optional in most of the country, standard homeowner insurance does not cover earthquake damage – a separate policy is needed to protect against this. Do you have earthquake insurance? If not, one of our local agents at D'Alessandro Insurance Agency in Manassas, Virginia, is here to help.
One large earthquake can be enough to make a home unlivable for months or become a total loss. It is unlikely that you would be able to cover the costs of repairs to a home that has been severely damaged or to replace all of your personal belongings. That's when your earthquake insurance policy will benefit you. Earthquake insurance policy coverages can vary and may include covering the cost of accommodations for you and your family while your home is repaired or while the new build is being completed due to a total loss.
At D'Alessandro Insurance Agency, we care about the Manassas community and helping our friends and neighbors to have the right protections in place. If you have concerns about seismic activity in your area and whether your home is at risk, we can help. Your homeowners insurance provider may not provide earthquake insurance – but we know the industry and what insurance providers offer the best coverage at the most affordable rates. Call us for help. We live and work locally, we are easy to reach, and we are always here to help you when you need it.

CPSLD records dated between 1969 and 1975 focus on the development of library standards, facilities and resource sharing. Material dated between 1976 and 1983, primarily concerns the Management Indicators Project. In 1976, the Deputy Minister of Education requested CPSLD produce standards that would be acceptable to the Ministry and to the BC college community. A Standards Committee was established with representation from BC post‐secondary libraries, the BC Association of Colleges, college principals, and the Ministry's Academic and Management Advisory Councils. Five areas were taken into account: budget, staff, facilities, services, and Audio‐Visual equipment. An interim report was submitted in 1980.The committee was asked to take into account: multi‐campus operation, proximity to other LRCs and access to other learning resources, proportion of full‐time to part‐time students, types of educational delivery systems in use, program mix, and the effect of outreach programs. A final report [Welwood Report] was submitted 1981. After 1986 the issues of automation in libraries and electronic resource sharing are addressed.

Seems cheese crime is booming: Today we get news that an Illinois man is being charged with trying to steal 42,000 pounds of Muenster cheese from a Wisconsin creamery. Last year we had news of the "mozzarella mafia," which was smuggling American cheese into Canada and selling it for a third of the price.
In the latest incident, WISC-TV reports that Veniamin Konstantinovich Balika, 34, allegedly drove his semi truck to K&K Cheese in Cashton, Wis. According to authorities, he provided fake documentation and the company loaded roughly $200,000 worth of cheese onto his truck.
WISC reports:
" 'This is the first time this has ever happened to us,' said Kevin Everhart, the general manager of K & K, which operates under the Old Country Cheese Factory label. 'The trucking company we contract with will take care of the money we lost, but it's still a shame. Still sad that this happened.'
"The Monroe County company processes 120,000 pounds of fresh milk every day from more than 200 Amish milk producers in the area. It ships Amish cheese and gift boxes all over the country."
CBS Chicago reports that Balika was busted once he was in the New Jersey Turnpike. The company doesn't want the cheese back, "because there's no guarantee it hasn't been tampered with" New Jersey will inspect it, though, and if it's OK, it will be donated to charity.

A bone scan is an imaging test used to look at the skeleton. It's done to find areas of physical and chemical changes in bone. A bone scan may also be used to see if treatment of certain conditions is working.
A bone scan is a type of nuclear radiology procedure. This means that a tiny amount of a radioactive substance is used during the scan to help in examining the bones. The radioactive substance is called a radionuclide or radioactive tracer. It may either be increased or decreased in abnormal areas of bone.
The radionuclide gives off a type of radiation, called gamma radiation. The gamma radiation is detected by a scanner. The scanner uses the information to make a picture of the bones.
The areas where the radionuclide collects are called "hot spots." They may be a sign of conditions such as cancerous bone tumors and metastatic bone cancer. This is cancer that has spread from another site, such as the lungs, to the bones. Other conditions include those related to the bone. These include bone infection and bone injury not seen on regular X-rays.
Bone scans are most commonly used to look for the spread of cancer. The bone surrounding the cancer will appear as a hot spot on a bone scan. This is due to increased bone activity in the area of the cancer cells. Bone scans may also be used to see how much cancer there is before and after treatment to see if the treatment is working.
Other reasons for doing a bone scan may include:
To assess for bone injury or damage when regular X-rays don't show the problem
To find fractures that are hard to locate
To determine the age of fractures
To detect or assess bone infection (osteomyelitis)
To look for the cause of unexplained bone pain
To detect and assess conditions such as arthritis and bone tumors
There may be other reasons for your healthcare provider to recommend a bone scan.
The amount of the radionuclide injected into your vein for the procedure is small enough that there is no need for precautions against radioactive exposure. The injection of the tracer may cause some slight discomfort. Allergic reactions to the tracer are rare but may happen.
There may be other risks depending on your specific health condition. Be certain your healthcare provider knows about all your health conditions before the procedure.
Your healthcare provider will explain the procedure to you, and you can ask questions. Make a list of questions and any concerns to discuss with your healthcare provider before the procedure. Consider bringing a family member or trusted friend to the medical appointment to help you remember your questions and concerns and to take notes.
You will be asked to sign a consent form that gives your permission to do the test. Read the form carefully and ask questions if anything is not clear.
Generally, no preparation is needed, such as not eating or not taking medicine, before a bone scan.
Tell your healthcare provider, the radiologist, or the technologist if you are allergic to or sensitive to medicines, contrast dyes, or iodine.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or think you may be.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.
Make sure your healthcare provider has a list of all prescribed and over-the-counter medicines, and all herbs, vitamins, and supplements that you are taking.
Based on your health condition, your healthcare provider may give you other instructions on what to do before the bone scan.
A bone scan may be done on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.
Generally, a bone scan follows this process:
You will be asked to remove any clothing, jewelry, or other objects that may get in the way of the scan. A bracelet with your name and an identification number may be put on your wrist. You may get a second bracelet if you have allergies.
If you are asked to remove your clothing, you will be given a gown to wear.
An IV (intravenous) line will be started in your hand or arm for injection of the radioactive tracer.
The tracer will be injected into your vein. The tracer will be allowed to collect in the bone tissue for a period of 1 to 3 hours. You may be allowed to walk around or even leave the facility during this time. You will not be hazardous to other people, as the tracer gives off less radiation than a standard X-ray.
During the waiting period, you will need to drink 4 to 6 glasses of water to help flush out any tracer that does not collect in the bone tissue.
If your bone scan is being done to look for bone infection, a set of scans may be done right after the injection of the tracer. Another set of scans will be done after the tracer has been allowed to collect in the bone tissue.
When the tracer has been allowed to collect in the bone tissue for the right amount of time, you will be asked to empty your bladder. This is because a full bladder can distort the bones of the pelvis and may become uncomfortable during the scan.
You will be asked to lie still on a padded scanning table. Any movement may affect the quality of the scan.
The scanner will move slowly over and around you several times as it detects the gamma rays given off by the tracer in the bone tissue.
You may be repositioned during the scan to get certain views of the bones.
When the scan has been completed, the IV line will be removed. It takes about 1 hour to do a full body scan.
While the bone scan itself causes no pain, having to lie still for the length of the procedure might be uncomfortable, particularly if you have recently had surgery or an injury. The technologist will use all possible comfort measures and complete the procedure as quickly as possible to reduce any discomfort or pain.
Move slowly when getting up from the scanner table to prevent any dizziness or lightheadedness.
You will be instructed to drink plenty of fluids and empty your bladder often for 24 to 48 hours after the scan. This will help flush the remaining tracer from your body.
The IV site will be checked for any signs of redness or swelling. If you notice any pain, redness, or swelling at the IV site after you go home, you should tell your healthcare provider. It may be a sign of infection or other type of reaction.
You should not have any other radionuclide procedures for the next 24 to 48 hours after your bone scan.
You may go back to your usual diet and activities, unless your healthcare provider tells you differently.
Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure, make sure you know:
The name of the test or procedure
The reason you are having the test or procedure
What results to expect and what they mean
The risks and benefits of the test or procedure
What the possible side effects or complications are
When and where you are to have the test or procedure
Who will do the test or procedure and what that person's qualifications are
What would happen if you did not have the test or procedure
Any alternative tests or procedures to think about
When and how you will get the results
Who to call after the test or procedure if you have questions or problems
How much you will have to pay for the test or procedure
