Which way is right? The controversy over this subject has been ongoing for a long time. In elite competition we see both heads tilted forward and heads down in freestyle…yet they both can't be right. So which one is better?
Finally, a study we did with Olympic champion Jimmy Feigen sheds some significant light on the answer to this ongoing controversy. Jimmy was tested with a velocity meter while swimming at 100-meter race pace for about 20 meters distance, first with the head down. Then again, with the head tilted slightly forward. Here is what we found.
The head down position resulted in an average velocity of .02 m/sec faster than with the head tilted forward. Doesn't sound like a lot, but over a 50 second hundred-meter race, that is one meter further behind with the head tilted forward than with the head down. That is enough to win or lose a race.
There is more to the story, however. There is a significant amount of additional work involved with one of these techniques. To find out, you will need to go to Lanes 2, 3 or 4 on our new subscription service and check out the video which was just released. There you will find out which technique generates more propulsion and which technique causes more frontal drag.
As far as I am concerned, the debate is over. I hope you will enjoy this new webisode featuring Olympian Jimmy Feigen.
Yours in Swimming,
Gary Sr.

Former CSU standout Janay DeLoach needed only one jump Tuesday to earn her spot in the finals of the women's Olympic long jump.
Janay DeLoach has passed her first London test in her quest to win Olympic gold.
DeLoach, the former CSU All-American, had the second-best qualifying mark Tuesday in the first round of the women's long jump. DeLoach jumped 22 feet, 3 inches to earn a spot among the top 12 advancing to Wednesday's finals.
Shara Proctor, competing for Great Britain, had the day's best jump at 22-4, beating DeLoach's mark by less than one inch. Karin Mey Melis of Turkey was third, while Elena Sokolova of Russia was fourth.
American Brittney Reese, ranked No. 1 in the world coming into the Olympics, barely qualified for the finals in 10th place at 21-5. Fellow American Chelsea Hayes did not qualify.
DeLoach, who finished second at the World Indoor Championships in March, hit her mark despite jumping into a headwind; she took only one of her three available jumps. She said she loved the long jump runway in London.
"The track's really fast, so I'm looking forward to some pretty good jumps tomorrow," she said. "I've worked so hard to get here, and nothing's going to stop me. I'm hungry for gold."
The good news for DeLoach is that her mark Tuesday was still well short of her career-best of 23-1, achieved at the U.S. Olympic Trials in June, so she has plenty of room to improve.
DeLoach is seeking to become the first CSU graduate to win an Olympic track and field medal since Glenn Morris won the decathlon gold at the 1936 Berlin Games.
Wednesday's finals begin at 1 p.m. MDT and can be viewed via live streaming. Each of the 12 finalists will get three jumps, after which the top eight will advance for three more jumps to determine the final standings. Tuesday's results will not count.

This is the first preliminary design for a character called Lilith in a new story being written by Peter Loftus. Everyone in Longstone comics is in on this one, and because Hilary and I are doing this nutty 'Eyebrow Challenge', Peter is allowing us post our developmental drawings...
Which is cool, cos really, there's a finite amount of hours in the day and the chicks are more likely to prioritise the eyebrows over a comic!
Yez are getting the b&w inked version cos I did try a coloured version, but was muckin' about with new software and frankly, it turned out to be complete bollox!

Nice. The clobber and gear are pretty much bang on. It is pretty hard to tell how imposing she is without a background for reference, but she looks good. I like the other vamp chick you posted too... was that another character? She's hot!

Fit Body Boot Camp does one thing, and we do it better than anyone else. We're about delivering personal trainer designed and lead fitness and fat loss workouts in a fun, safe, high intensity group training workout program. With hundreds of Fit Body Boot Camp locations worldwide, our mission is focused on our "2020 vision" which is to expose and engage 20 percent of the world's population to a healthy and fit lifestyle by the year 2020.
As an industry leading fitness brand we feel that we have a greater responsibility not only globally through our 2020 vision, but locally as well, to the clients in the communities that we serve and the neighborhoods we operate our fitness centers from. Which is why we believe in getting involved with our communities and contributing locally whenever possible. That's what being a good neighbor is all about. So when you step foot into a Fit Body Boot Camp location you can expect a clean, friendly, and fun high energy workout environment that's not only a place to get fit and healthy, but a place to make friends with others in your community.
My name is Megan Kruger and I have been in the fitness industry since 2001 as a group exercise instructor and a personal trainer.
I am passionate about helping people add fun, results-driven, ability appropriate exercise to their lives because exercise has many times over been the element that has changed my life for the better. I firmly believe that when people move around more, and begin to make changes to their health all areas of their lives will improve.
As a child, whenever I was being too rambunctious-or just plain naughty-my parents would send me outside to get more fresh air and exercise. Guess what? It worked! My mood and my behaviour improved. Throughout high school, I participated in some team athletics and exercise with my mother- and I credit these things with helping me maintain a manageable level of self-esteem and self-confidence. But as life got really busy with school studies, after school activities and a part-time job, exercise was often the first thing to be cut from life.
By the time I got to college, I was studying full-time and working a part-time job in sales; I was stressed out and gaining weight. I knew that if I didn't find a way to re-commit to exercise, I was going to be unable to do all the things that I wanted to do with my life. And to be perfectly honest, I felt pretty bad about myself and the way that I looked. I had gained more than the freshman 15 and my energy levels were low. I also had unhealthy eating habits and because of all of those things really lousy sleep patterns.
I knew that some things had to change- in a big way-in order to be happy with myself and to regain my health. Fast forward several years, and a healthy, happy me is here to help you by bringing you the most effective, fitness and fat loss solutions possible! Why? Because I know that a better life starts by taking good care of yourself and I firmly believe that exercise is the vehicle to get you to your best life! Come check out St. Louis Park boot camp and let me share what I've learned about fitness and fat loss to help you become a healthier, fitter, better version of yourself.

Two new RWD Toyota sports cars to join FR-S?
Toyota as we know it could become a thing of the past. According to Australian site Car Advice, the Japanese brand known for bland cruisers like the Camry and Corolla is preparing to bring two new rear-drive cars to market that would slot above and below the Scion-badged FR-S. This is very, very good news.
This first-gen Toyota Celica is one mean mother
Brian Karasawa's gen-one Toyota Celica is, in a word, badass. As a long-standing fan of the marque, the doting owner has tried to both restore and improve his Celica keeping period-correct modifications in mind. The 20R/22R mashup engine is outputting roughly 185 horsepower and graced with a lot of JDM-specific parts and modifications. Clearly, the exhaust has been upgraded from stock, as clips of the orange Toyota in motion are accompanied by one hell of a nice sound.
Watch a restored 1980 Toyota Celica rally car put through its paces by Neal Bates
Former and current Toyota driver Neal Bates started his rally career over 20 years ago. While that seems like a long time to have been racing, even back then a 1980 Toyota Celica was pretty old school. Mr. Bates and his friends at Toyota set out to prove that the old Celica is still cool by giving the RA40 dirt runner a full restore ahead of its ARC debut in Melbourne.
Toyota teases FT-86 II concept for Geneva
Subaru has already confirmed that it's sports car being jointly developed with Toyota is coming to the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Now Toyota is getting into the action by announcing today that its version of the jointly developed sports car, the FT-86, will be there... and it will be an evolution of the concept shown back in 2009 at the Tokyo Motor Show. The updated version is called the Toyota FT-86 II and promises to be our clearest view yet of what the production vehicle will look like.

REPORT: Toyota reviving Celica name for joint Subaru RWD car
The last report about the on again/off again sports car being developed jointly by Toyota and Subaru was that it's on again. Today comes word from L'Automobile in France that not only is the rear-wheel-drive Toyubaru going to happen, but it will arrive bearing the Celica name sometime in 2010. If Wikipedia is to be believed, this would be the eighth generation of the Celica, which traces its roots all the way back to 1970 when it debuted in Japan as an inexpensive rear-wheel-drive sports car.

Toyota/Subaru RWD sports car confirmed for 2011 with boxer engine
At a press conference in Japan today, Toyota CEO Katsuaki Watanabe finally confirmed that his company is jointly developing a pair of rear-wheel-drive sports cars with Subaru. Each brand will get its own version of the car, which will be powered by one of Subaru's boxer engines, though the engine's displacement, power output and even number of cylinders is not yet known. We're also not sure if the Subaru version will feature the brand's trademark all-wheel-drive system either as an option or sta

Although a Chapter 13 bankruptcy may eliminate some debts, others may remain. For instance, an individual who owes child support or student loans will generally still owe those debts after the case is over. Additionally, some debts related to criminal activities such as drunk driving may still be owed by the debtor after the case is resolved. Long-term debts such as a mortgage may also remain.
Can I file for bankruptcy before completing credit counseling?
While there are strict qualification requirements, it may be possible for a Minnesota resident to file for bankruptcy prior to completing credit counseling, which normally is not the case. Typically, a debtor who attempts to file for bankruptcy prior to doing so will have the case dismissed without getting a refund of any filing fees already paid. However, those who tried to get counseling before filing or had reasons why they couldn't obtain it may be allowed to proceed with their petition.
Saving your home in Minnesota
If you are in danger of losing your home through foreclosure, you are most likely scrambling to try to figure out how to avoid doing so. Alternatively, you may be underwater in your home, owing more than it is worth. You may have a second mortgage that is more problematic than is your senior one. In all cases, you do have options available through which you may receive debt relief and through which your home might be saved.
Can a debt collector use false information to collect a debt?
Debt collectors who are contacting Minnesota residents may not use any false or misleading information to get a debtor to take action. For instance, a debt collector may not claim to be associated with any state or federal government entity. They may also not give misleading or false information regarding how much a debtor may owe or what actions may be taken if the debt is not repaid.

TOPEKA Kan. Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson has indicated he will sign into law, and make effective July 1, a ban on smoking in restaurants, bars and other enclosed public and work places.
The legislation, approved last week by the House of Representatives, in several ways frustrates the 1,000-member Kansas Restaurant & Hospitality Association in Wichita, although they have agreed to remain neutral. KRHA officials earlier had preferred a separate statewide smoking

London in 1927 & 2013
Опубликовал admin.globarius.com в ПУСТЬ МЕНЯ НАУЧАТ!
During the 1920s, Claude Friese-Greene, a British cinematographer, travelled across the UK with his new colour film camera. His trip ended in London, where he shoot some of his most stunning images.
BFI (British Film Institute) has recently revived and restored this film, and then shared across social media and video websites.
Simon J. Smith, a British director, attempted to follow the same route and capture every one of Claude's shots using modern equivalents of his camera and lenses. This has been a personal study, that has revealed how London has changed.

Why not since it was 50% discount? But....
This durian mousse cake costed $8 (before discount and GST). As there was a 50% discount for all cakes and pastries after 8pm, I grabbed one of their durian mousse cake.
It was a kind of disappointed. The Durian aroma and flavour were not strong. Nevertheless, it was a good experience. Never try never knows..
Overall Verdict: 5/10

I really loved creating yesterday's card for the Colour Inksipration, so I've made a similar card for the Global Design Project. It's been ages since I used this set and it's so easy to collage the images, they just 'go'.
I was inspired by the Global Design Project colour challenge #GDP089. I love the GDP - these colours I usually wouldn't put together, but that's the whole challenge right?! How great do they look. It's all about proportion & balance.
Love the colour combination? Pin and share it.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed seeing my project please take a few moments to leave me a comment I'd love to hear what you think.

Hello You! :D
When you'll open the poster exercise file, you'll start with something like this:
The first thing you'll want to do is duplicate the original layer (so you can keep it safe in case you need to start again), and then align all elements to the center of your artboard.
Then open the illustrator icons file and copy/paste some of the icon on your poster file.
Use the tools you've learnt to place them however you want around the text (creating a sort of faux-patterned frame.)
Decide whether you want to keep the icons enclosed in a box or not.
You can also use the transforming tools to make the icons look tossed.
Almost there...
Use the shape builder tool and the pathfinder panel to modify the text.
And finally...
Put some color to make it yours!
Now you can print it out and put it in a visible place so that whenever you are feeling frustrated with Illustrator, it reminds you to take a breath, keep calm, and keep trying. Ai is all about practice. The more you use it, the better you'll get at it, and the more you'll love it ;)

Cedar Hill, TX
The Fool's Race
I was looking for an addition race to run in April as a training run. I've really learned to enjoy virtual races just for the convenience sake. I can run WHEN I want, WHERE I want….and still collect 'da bling'.
What are virtual races you might ask, well, they are exactly what I just said. These race give you the opportunity to support a great cause, such as this race. The beauty of these races is that they are usually cheaper and typically give you two weeks or so to complete the race. My whole family did a half marathon at the end of 2012, the girls and my wife did it one mile a day to get it all done. GREAT way to get the family involved.
I found this race and thought it was a great cause!
Friday March 29th, I got my race packet in the mail. I was excited to finally get this since I'd registered months before. I ripped it open and found a really cool t-shirt, medal and a GU. I was going to go for a run anyway so I thought what the heck, let's run this half marathon right here, right now! So I did……on the treadmill! I can hear the moans from here, LOL. I don't do that distance on the treadmill often, but I do like to prove to myself that mentally I can do it. It's tough to run 13.1 miles in the garage while staring at the red dot on the ladder hanging on the wall. I do it and I do it often!
I ran this race in intervals. Starting at 9:31 per mile for a mile, then to 8:49 for a mile. Back and forth for several miles. Then 8:49 for two miles around 5.5-6.5 or so. Then interval all over the place.
I finished in2:01:32 with an average pace of 9:14 per mile. I'll TAKE IT!! Did I mention this was my second half marathon in 5 days?
Second half marathon of 2013 – a huge success!

The January reinsurance renewals though late were orderly, with strong competition evident in many sectors, according to Aon Benfield, the world's leading reinsurance intermediary and full service capital advisor.
Reinsurance pricing has moved up in lines and territories most affected by recent losses, but Aon Benfield expects this trend to be relatively short-lived, given the amount of new capital entering the sector. This may have long-term consequences for the structure of the reinsurance market, it says in a report released yesterday titled "Rinsurance Market Outlook – Reinsurance Proves Its Worth".
The report notes that these developments take place against a backdrop in which, based on current Impact Forecasting estimates, natural catastrophe events caused economic losses of around US$320 billion globally in 2017. Insured losses, covered in both the private market and by government-sponsored programmes, are estimated at $28 billion, making it the third most costly year behind 2011 and 2005.
The insurance recovery ratio of 40% once again highlights the protection gap evident in even the most developed markets. As in 2005, the main driver of losses in 2017 was three Atlantic hurricanes in the third quarter – Harvey, Irma and Maria – which are estimated to have caused economic losses of $200 billion and insured losses of $80 billion. Record-breaking wildfires in California rounded out the year.
The ultimate size and distribution of claims from these recent events remains uncertain, but it is already apparent that they are manageable and well-spread. The continuity and responsiveness demonstrated by the industry has clearly benefitted policyholders.
The scale of the reinsured portion of these losses is difficult to determine, partly because most providers of reinsurance capacity also write insurance business. However, it is clear that traditional reinsurers were well-capitalised going into these events and that, relative to 2005, more risk was being retained by primary insurers and more catastrophe exposure had been laid-off into the capital markets.
As a result, the losses in 2017 have been absorbed without compromising the availability of reinsurance capacity. Recent events provide the first real test of an alternative capital sector that supplied almost $90 billion of capacity in 2017, up from only $10 billion in 2005. Significant funds backing fully collateralised reinsurance and retrocession contracts have been lost or trapped, but investors have responded by showing strong appetite for an asset class that is now viewed as being relatively more attractive.
The sector has therefore proved its worth and come of age as a committed source of reinsurance capacity, says the report.

It's nothing new for Samantha Pedregon to stand up for something meaningful.
As Sultana High School's ROTC group commander last school year, the diminutive 18 year old led by example on a daily basis. But recently she took a stand by doing something out of the ordinary.
Last Monday, she began standing at one of Hesperia's busiest intersections � the corner of C Avenue and Main Street in Hesperia � and waved a sign of hope and inspiration. Her plan is to wave a new sign every weekday from 2 to 3 p.m. until she goes to college in a few weeks.
"It's been something that's been on my mind, but I didn't have the time until recently," she said.
Her first message on Monday, Aug. 16 was "Smile!" written in big letters on a large piece of white cardboard. On Tuesday, Pedregon waved a sign reading "Think Positive." On Wednesday it was "Be Strong" followed by "Never Give Up."
"The first time I wasn't really sure how people would react to my signs."
But her intuition was correct. Passersby were receptive, and many showed their appreciation by sending back good vibes.
"I get a lot of honks. I get a lot of waves, and I get a lot of thumbs up. One car totally made my day. They waved their arms out the window and gave me the love sign. At the end of the [first] day I knew I'd be happy with myself. I was really proud of myself that day. I'd made it."
Pedregon, who will study computer animation at the Los Angeles Film Institute in Hollywood, said she wants to shine a ray of hope for people affected by the economic downturn.
"During this economy, everybody's suffering. These little messages might affect someone in a positive way."
Afterward, Pedregon will post her results and observations on a Facebook info page. Facebook members can join her journey by searching "That Sign Girl on Main Street" and joining her group.
She hopes her uplifting social experiment will have a lasting effect.
"I always wanted a little sign to keep me going," she said. "Now I can wave a sign to help other people keep going after their goals."

There are a number of different types of legal structures available to community groups. For most groups, we recommend beginning with the simplest possible structure – an unincorporated association – but there are other structures available.
This page gives you a brief overview of some common structures, but there are other options available. For more detail, see our guide to legal structures or contact us.
Unincorporated Association
When a group of individuals come together to form a group it is known as an unincorporated association. Unincorporated groups are quick and cheap to set up. This structure is ideal for small groups with a membership, short-term goals, low incomes and which do not intend to employ staff or acquire property.
However, an unincorporated association has no separate legal existence and remains essentially a collection of individuals. This means that any legal proceedings taken against the group would, in reality, be against the individuals themselves. In other words, if you are a committee member of an unincorporated association you are personally liable for your group's actions. Find out more in our Legal Structures Guide.
An incorporated organisation has a legal identity outside of the people who run the group. This means that an incorporated group can enter into contracts, hold property and take part in lawsuits in its own right. As a result, its members are not personally liable for the group's actions. There are several types of incorporated groups that you could become. However, all of these types are more complicated to set up and more closely controlled by the law than unincorporated associations. Find out more in our Legal Structures Guide
Registered Charities
Registered charities are groups which have been set up for purposes which are for the public benefit as defined in the Charities Act 2006 and which have registered with the charity commission. A registered charity can take one of a number of legal forms. Setting up a charity gives you many benefits, but it also requires you to understand legislation that governs charities and meet legal registration requirements. Learn more about registered charities on the Charity Commission's website or contact us for advice.

Fleming to sing at McCain service
Gary Craig Rochester Democrat and Chronicle USA TODAY NETWORK
Internationally beloved opera singer Renée Fleming, who grew up in Churchville, will sing the Irish standard "Danny Boy" at a memorial service for the late U.S. Sen. John McCain.
McCain, who died Saturday of brain cancer, had requested that Fleming sing the song, according to her manager, Dannielle Thomas.
"She is very honored," Thomas said. "It's going to be a beautiful service."
Fleming is scheduled to sing at a memorial service for McCain at the Washington National Cathedral on Saturday.
Fleming, a Grammy winner and Tony nominee, is also a graduate of the Eastman School of Music.

Nashville Folk Singer With Rochester Ties
Ross Falzone has released five CDs as a self-proclaimed "folk singer / social justice activist." Now based in Nashville, he got his start decades ago in Rochester as an assistant engineer and performed on the HBO theme music song which had its origins in Rochester when he worked with recent Rochester Music Hall of Fame inductee Ferdinand Jay Smith III. Falzone's two most recent releases are Love Is Everything and We Are All Gypsies.
The title cut of Love Is Everything opens the 2016 disc with a casual clarinet, some tasty gypsy guitar and moves forward at an easy going pace. That's followed by a lonely, late night piano as it gently introduces "Baby Where Are You Tonight." Falzone picks up the pace with the perky "Cecilia's Kitchen" and the bawdy "Trouble In Paradise" which allows the horns a brief yet potent flash at the songs mid-point.
We Are All Gypsies is his 2018 collection. "The Spell," co-written with Ferdinand Jay Smith III, echoes all of the 1930s carefree gypsy jazz elements of that era, capturing the vintage sound and feel of Django Reinhart as well as the modern styling of Stephane Wrembel. "You and Me" is a casual stroll through a similar gypsy sound and style while "My Piano and Me" could find a comfortable resting place on a children's CD. Falzone aims to include a cover on most of his releases and he gets sassy and funky on Delbert McClinton's "Better Off With The Blues," complete with more bawdy horns, followed by a quick trip to New Orleans via "Lucky Me."
Falzone donates all of the proceeds of disc sales to charity so try to track down a CD, buy it and help out as much as you can. Go to Rossfalzone.com for more info.
Funk it Up
Local favorite Prime Time Funk in prime of career — and still smiling

Rochester Music Hall of Famer, David Corcoran dies
The RMHF Board of Directors would like to express its deepest condolences to the family and friends of local drummer and vocalist, David Corcoran. Mr. Corcoran was inducted into the RMHF in the Class of 2014 along with his Duke Jupiter band mates. He was 64.
Students from Greece Athena and Harley School honored at Music Hall of Fame
The Rochester region is known for its love of the arts. It's a pipeline for young artists to pursue their dreams. Local music legends were lauded at the Rochester Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony Sunday night, including big names such as percussionist John Beck, drummer Steve Gadd and guitarist Tony Levin.
Before they became legends, they were young musicians with a passion and a dream. The Rochester Music Hall of Fame realizes the importance of nurturing future generations of musicians with its Douglas Lowry award, given to to area high school seniors pursuing music in college. Lowry was dean at Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester who passed away in 2013. Each of the two winners received $1,000 and a chance to perform at the induction ceremony.
The winners this year were cellist Ben Doane from The Harley School, a private school in Brighton and musical theater vocalist Mark Mitrano of Greece Athena High School.
Mitrano, 18, the winner of numerous local and national awards, will be attending University of Michigan come fall, majoring in musical theater. The young prodigy started vocal lessons at 4 years old and is currently a senior high honor roll with distinction student, recently wrapping up his role as Quasimodo in Greece Athena's production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
As a sophomore, Mitrano was named Rochester Broadway Theatre League Stars of Tomorrow best actor. He then went on to represent the Rochester nine-county region in New York City and was named best vocalist in the National High School Music Theatre Awards that draws musical theater talent from high schools around the country. In 2017, he was a National YoungArts Foundation winner in theater
Doane, 17, has been learning the cello since he was 6 years old and will be attending Eastman School of Music in fall. In the summer of 2017, he attended the Perlman Music program. The young musician also studied cello at the Heifetz International Music Institute and the Bowdoin International Music Festival. From 2014 to 2017, Doane was the principal cellist of Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. Recently, Doane won the Rochester Philharmonic League Aldridge-Tinker scholarship to continue studies in music.
Before a sold-out crowd of over 2,300 people at Eastman Theatre on Sunday night, Doane performed a cello solo titled Julie-O by Mark Summer. Mitrano reprised his role as protagonist Jean Valjean in the musical Les Miserables with his rendition of "Bring Him Home."
"As well as giving me valuable assistance in applying for college, this award was an incredible opportunity for me to share my music in Rochester's best-known performance hall," said Doane.
Mitrano said he was very honored to be chosen for the Lowry award. "It was heartwarming to be part of such an event that brings artists of all styles of music together to share their passion and joy," Mitrano said. "It was an experience I will never forget."
Their performances at the Rochester Music Hall of Fame ceremony showcased the promise of youth in our artistic community.

Crafting A New Musical
Eddie Money's
Debuts in Rochester, New York
Sales exceeded 28 million records. There were close to two dozen hits in the Top 100 music charts during the 1970s and 1980s including "Take Me Home Tonight," "Baby Hold On" and "Two Tickets to Paradise". Add a few Grammy nominations, countless road trips and numerous concerts along the way. Fast forward to 2018. Former cop Eddie Money, a true rock star born in Brooklyn in 1949, has come to Rochester, teamed up with RAPA's Jim Vollertsen and been in rehearsal crafting and perfecting Two Tickets To Paradise – The Musical here in Rochester since the fall of 2017. The world premier will take place from Feb 14 – 18 at the Kodak Center Theater. (200 Ridge Road West) and will feature a full orchestra, a rock band and a cast of twenty people including Alec Nevin who will play a young Eddie Money. Then there's the 'official' publicist for the Rochester Music Hall of Fame, Ms. Dresden Engle, who is scheduled to perform in the play as Money's supportive mother. As Ms. Engle points out "Eddie's mom was the world to him. There are a total of three heart-wrenching songs between mom and Eddie — all Broadway-style ballads Eddie wrote for the musical — that cement for the audience how close they were." She went on to say "Eddie told me (recently) that I'm playing her just as wonderful as she was. That was a relief and an honor to hear." In addition, Money himself will narrate the musical and guide the audience through the evening. "For me, the musical captures that most important time when you're starting out before you get jaded" Money said.
There will only be five Rochester performances and then, maybe a trip on the road with Broadway in its sights. As Ms. Engle stated "I worked closely with Eddie on the script and now I'll be working with Eddie to promote the production on national tour following the Rochester debut. Sure, we talk about taking it all the way to Broadway. This musical is Eddie's dream, and we're all excited to help make his dream come true, while at the same time he is making all of our dreams come true as well."
Here's your chance to be part of the beginning, here in Rochester, where it's all starting. Call 585 254 0073 for updates and additional info.
Striking a chord, NIH taps the brain to find how
(Democrat & Chronicle)
Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON – Like a friendly Pied Piper, the violinist keeps up a toe-tapping beat as dancers weave through busy hospital hallways and into the chemotherapy unit, patients looking up in surprised delight. Upstairs, a cellist strums an Irish folk tune for a patient in intensive care.
Music increasingly is becoming a part of patient care — although it's still pretty unusual to see roving performers captivating entire wards, like at Med-Star Georgetown University Hospital one fall morning.
"It takes them away for just a few minutes to some other place where they don't have to think about what's going on," said cellist Martha Vance after playing for a patient isolated to avoid spreading infection.
The challenge: Harnessing music to do more than comfort the sick. Now, moving beyond programs like Georgetown's, the National Institutes of Health is bringing together musicians, music therapists and neuroscientists to tap into the brain's circuitry and figure out how.
"The brain is able to compensate for other deficits sometimes by using music to communicate," said NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins, a geneticist who also plays a mean guitar.
To turn that ability into a successful therapy, "it would be a really good thing to know which parts of the brain are still intact to be called into action — to know the circuits well enough to know the backup plan," Collins added.
Scientists aren't starting from scratch. Learning to play an instrument, for example, sharpens how the brain processes sound and can improve children's reading and other school skills. Stroke survivors who can't speak sometimes can sing, and music therapy can help them retrain brain pathways to communicate. Parkinson's patients sometimes walk better to the right beat. But what's missing is rigorous science to better understand how either listening to or creating music might improve health in a range of other ways — research into how the brain processes music that NIH is beginning to fund.
A peek inside
"The water is wide, I cannot cross over," soprano Renee Fleming belted out, not from a concert stage but from inside an MRI machine at the NIH campus.
The opera star — who partnered with Collins to start the Sound Health initiative — spent two hours in the scanner to help researchers tease out what brain activity is key for singing. How? First Fleming spoke the lyrics. Then she sang them. Finally, she imagined singing them.
"We're trying to understand the brain not just so we can address mental disorders or diseases or injuries, but also so we can understand what happens when a brain's working right and what happens when it's performing at a really high level," said NIH researcher David Jangraw.
To Jangraw's surprise, several brain regions were more active when Fleming imagined singing than when she actually sang, including the brain's emotion center and areas involved with motion and vision. One theory: it took more mental effort to keep track of where she was in the song, and to maintain its emotion, without auditory feedback.
Proof may be tough
Indeed, Jangraw notes a saying in neuroscience: Neurons that fire together, wire together. Brain cells communicate by firing messages to each other through junctions called synapses. Cells that regularly connect — for example, when a musician practices — strengthen bonds into circuitry that forms an efficient network for, in Fleming's case, singing.
But that's a healthy brain. In North Carolina, a neuroscientist and a dance professor are starting an improvisational dance class for Alzheimer's patients to tell whether music and movement enhance a diseased brain's neural networks.
Well before memory loss becomes severe, Alzheimer's patients can experience apathy, depression and gait and balance problems as the brain's synaptic connections begin to falter. The NIHfunded study at Wake Forest University will randomly assign such patients to the improvisation class — to dance playfully without having to remember choreography — or to other interventions.
With senior centers increasingly touting arts programs, "having a deeper understanding of how these things are affecting our biology can help us understand how to leverage resources already in our community," said Wake Forest lead researcher Christina Hugenschmidt.
Unlike music therapy, which works one-on-one toward individual outcomes, the arts and humanities program at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center lets musiciansin- residence play throughout the hospital. Palliative care nurses often seek Vance, the cellist, for patients anxious or in pain. She may watch monitors, matching a tune's tempo to heart rate and then gradually slowing. Sometimes she plays for the dying, choosing a gently arrhythmic background and never a song that might be familiar.
Julia Langley, who directs Georgetown's program, wants research into the type and dose of music for different health situations: "If we can study the arts in the same way that science studies medication and other therapeutics, I think we will be doing so much good."

(On the "Board" Walk: Tony Gross)
Steam – Claudia Hoyser
Purring away – sometimes day and night – is GFI, a recording studio in rural Wayne County New York. Veteran musician and producer Tony Gross, the man who heads up the studio (and is a current board member of the Rochester Music Hall of Fame,) has been spinning the knobs and sliding the faders while still attacking the guitar and hitting the stage every once in a while for a long time – since his mid-teens. One of his latest projects is helping launch the career of 23 year old Claudia Hoyser. Together, they've put things in motion with the release of a five song EP called Steam.
Ms. Hoyser confidently bursts out of the studio with a sassy and flirtatious "Drinkin' With the Boys," the EPs attention grabbing opener. Yeah, she can go toe-to-toe with the boys but it's also a song about spending some fun, frivolous time with close friends – male or female. The title cut, "Steam," may use the steel tracks of various trains as its starting point but the message of "Steam" is to follow your dream. The next song up had an interesting twist: when Tony sent a rough version of "No Matter What it Costs" to a friend at a radio station in hopes of getting some professional feedback, the station-man was 'all in' and basically said 'don't change anything' so the original uncut version is the one we get. The song keeps edging a girl with a country spirit closer to a rock and roll center. She stays feisty on "What Kind of Man" before wrapping things up with the start/stop, 'what the hell, let's keep going' energy of "Red Light's Turning Green."
Hoyser, with hints of a young Shania Twain (whose recent 2017 comeback recordings' may soon share air-time with Hoyser) has been showing up on a number of radio station playlists and has been hitting the road for a number of shows. As Hoyser has said "Country music is all about roots. It doesn't matter where those roots are from. We all have stories to tell and that's a strong part of my sound, the 'storytelling' part" which she's doing one stage and one song at a time.
(On the "Board" Walk: Jerry Falzone & former member Kevin Hart)
Presenting…New Music from
Rochester Music Hall of Fame Board Members
From day one, the board members of the Rochester Music Hall of Fame have been a diverse group. Their "day jobs" include working in sales, accounting, law, banking, college's and even as a mailman. Others, whether professional artists or "after hours" experts, include music producers, musicians, photographers and more. All of the board members, as you would suspect, are passionate about music plus several have recorded and released their own albums. Here's a solo disc from a current board member (with help from another current board member) and one from a former member:
Chasing Ghosts – Jerry Falzone
(self released)
He may have started out in Pearl, a hard-rock band that earned national press in the early 1980s in magazines such as Billboard, but Jerry Falzone has settled into softer west coast country rock in the last decade. The high water mark was 2012's Just Before The Storm, with a wealth of stand-out originals such as: "Sweet Virginia," "Come Back Now" (with guest vocalist Jerry Engler), "We Will Meet Again" and the title cut. A few years later, Liar's Moon followed with another all-original outing, but he shook things up by sneaking in a sax, violin and cello on a few cuts.
Falzone's latest disc, Chasing Ghosts, carries on the tradition of softer country music meets folk rock ala bands such as Poco, the Eagles and singers such as Jackson Browne. Falzone has rounded up some of the usual suspects who helped him in the past including Ken Colombo (piano), Bob Martin (guitar), Greg Andrews (drums), Pearl's Debbie Randyn (background vocals) and Kate Lee (violin). The sound is big and the arrangements are bold right from the beginning as the disc opens with the glorious "It Feels Like Heaven." Later, the sax shines on songs such as "Built to Last" and "Cold Cold World," followed by stand-out songs such as the "Without Love." Falzone drops in a Neil Young cover ("I've Been Waiting For You") and comes in for a landing with the evocative, haunting title song at the very end. Throughout the disc, Falzone's vocals are pure as spring water and soar like summer clouds whether running solo or harmonizing with others. With love as a common theme on most of the songs, more complex lyrics would be a welcome guide into the cryptic world of relationships.
All three discs have a polished, sparkling production but Chasing Ghosts adds more of a pop sheen than in the past. Passionate lovers of folk rock will still chose Just Before the Storm as their favorite CD but this disc is a nice addition to this decade's trilogy.
Science – The Majestics
(self released)
Reggae has pulsed through Ron Stackman's blood for decades. He was a founding member of the band, Bahama Mama, in the 1970s. That eventually mutated into Big Roots in the 1980s with their nine or ten man roster (depending on the night) which eventually paved the way for The Majestics. The Majestics have just released Science, their latest CD release.
Tight, nimble and oh so casual, The Majestics consist of Ron Stackman (keys and guitar,) Jim Schwartz (bass,) Lou Lavilla (drums) and Kevin Hart (lead guitar) plus Brother James on percussion and a four piece horn section with yet another Rochester Music Hall of Fame board member, Jimmy Richmond. "We don't sound like Jamaicans when we play" Stackman had said year ago, "we were brought up on rock." "The Science disc is a mix of tunes written by Ron Stackman, Jim Kraut (from Bahama Mama) and a couple of old deep cut reggae gems" former Rochester Music Hall of Fame member Hart stated in an email. Regardless, the purity of the reggae sound and style carries through with the disc, one which is built on deep, rich bass and steady, reliable percussions as the disc clocks in at a brief 30 plus minutes.
The horns majestically announce the arrival of the group as they open with "Love is the Greatest Science." Happy, light and upbeat, the song is followed by a deep dose of melancholy as the band calls out an "Untrue Girl" on the second song. Jim Kraut's "Buck Rogers" is mystical, hypnotic and elusive while The Majestics capture the instrumental essence of former Paragon member John Holt's mid 1970s hit, "Up Park Camp." There's danger and deception in the grooves of "Caught You Red Handed" while the band takes us home with a studio enhanced dub version of "Buck Rogers." Rochester, a US city about as far north of Jamaica as possible, is home base for the Majestics and a handful of other top ranking reggae groups. Together, they continue to prove that this is a rich musical town with a rich sound.
Rochester Music Hall of Fame visits School #33
A large group of students enrolled in a summer learning program at School #33 in Rochester, attended a musical performance and presentation sponsored by the Rochester Music Hall of Fame. For the second time, representatives of the hall of fame spoke to the fifty or more students gathered in a classroom, about careers in music. They brought along one of the hall of fame's 2017 Lowry Award winners, Sam Nitsch, to inspire and entertain the kids with his musical talents. He was a big hit!
RMHF president, Karl LaPorta, described the students as respectful and engaged listeners adding, "we love talking to so many smart kids who are very interested in music and in careers in music in some capacity." Also on hand to help with the presentation were Jim Richmond and Tracy Kroft.
To help honor and induct trumpeter Lew Soloff into the Rochester Music Hall of Fame: Class of 2017, several musicians took part in the live ceremony, including Blood Sweat and Tears vocalist David Clayton Thomas and his musical director George Koller. Both gentlemen have relatively new CDs available. Here's a look at them…
Canadiana – David Clayton Thomas
(Antoinette Records)
Americana is a type of music that has its roots in early folk and country music of the states and has come to represent the "new" earthy country style, sans the 'twang'. The Canadian mirror image of that is Canadiana and Toronto based David Clayton Thomas (DCT) has just released a thirteen song CD that salutes the rich writing and singing talent that is found throughout Canada.
Although DCT is an incredibly writer, having written some of Blood Sweat and Tears monster hits, he chose to cover songs by a dozen other Canadians while including only one DCT original. By now most people realize that The Band was a Canadian group so the CD opens with DCT's spirited version of Robbie Robertson's "Ophelia." Many of the other covers are earthy and grittier than the originals as he cherry picks classics such as "Early Monnin' Rain" (Gordon Lightfoot,) "Both Side Now" (Joni Mitchell), "Heart Of Gold" (Neil Young) and "Suzanne" (Leonard Cohen.) These, and other well-known performers, have topped the music charts in of both countries and helped define the sound and style of the last few decades.
Regardless of whether you're from the US or from Canada, these versions are alluring and ultimately a passionate tribute from an important vocalist of our time.
Secret Space Program – George Koller
As an "in demand" bass player, George Koller has appeared on countless recordings and has worked with world class talent such as Holly Cole, Eartha Kitt, Phil Woods and even Peter Gabriel. Secret Space Program is the latest disc with Koller (bassist/singer) as the leader.
The CD opens with "Where Did They Go," a rousing, briskly paced original that hints at the probing lyrics and style of Moses Allison while "What Might Have Been" is a much quieter, more reflective lament. Koller's version of "Cool Water," originally a 1930s country and western song, is an amazingly serene gem that would be suitable in a film noir movie. Other songs slow things down even more with lullaby that hint at the easy going style of singers such as Michael Franks.
Koller (and Thomas) were great additions to the 2017 Rochester Music Hall of Fame ceremonies on April 30, 2017. Here's hoping they both make a return visit to the area.

Danielle Ponder: Live at Three on 3/3
The back story is almost as dramatic as the tidal wave of sounds cascading from the stage whenever singer Danielle Ponder performs. She grew up in the inner city in a family that always revered and respected music. She's the daughter of a preacher man yet she's had family members jailed. She's a public defender by day and a musician by night and throughout it all, she's as positive, upbeat and focused as can be. As she told Jeff Spevak in the fall of 2016 for an article in the daily paper, "I write about heartbreak and romantic love, or I write about social and political issues, or personal freedom…" She routinely and confidently takes complete control of a club or concert hall for several hours (including a memorable salute to 2016 Rochester Music Hall of Fame inductee and James Brown alumni Pee Wee Ellis). Although Ms. Ponder generates the high wattage power from the stage, it's ultimately the audience's responsibility to capture the energy and to use it in a positive manner going forward.
Danielle Ponder and the Tomorrow People took the stage at Three Heads Brewing right at 8p on Friday March 3, 2017. What started out as a brisk, cold night turned into a fierce storm a few hours later…both inside and out. Served up with brisk, cold beers and ales with musical names such as Strawbeery Fields Lager, Rochestafarian Scotch Ale and Ring of Fire IPA, Ponder and her tight band went for it right from the beginning with "Something Funky." Channeling the soul of Aretha, the style of Amy and the potency of Adele, Danielle Ponder built layer upon layer of sight and sound to create an intoxicating presentation. From 60s gospel and soul to 70s reggae, right up to today's rap, Ponder pushed, prodded and propelled. With compelling originals such as "Three Word Revolution" (there's that 'three' again) to "All I Know" ("I wanted you/ you needed me / you told me you'd be better"), Ms. Ponder turned in a passionate, blistering show.
When it came time for an extended encore, Ms. Ponder unleashed a dynamic version of Hendrix's "Hey Joe" and used the glory of a gospel sound to confirm and uplift. She bravely guiding us away from guns pulled from the gutter, weapons that destroy and denigrate our people and our society.
Was the audience with her? Yeah! Does she…and the people…have the power? After a show like that…triple Yeah !!!

To most, he was "Java Joe" more…
The RMHF is saddened to hear of the passing of great local drummer Ralph Bushey. Ralph was a talented, versatile drummer who could play anything with anyone. Ralph would at any one time be playing with a half dozen bands. He was also passionate about local music. We all also remember Uncle Ralph's Magic Sauce, which was another of Ralphs great talents and passion along with cooking. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ralphs family and friends.

News from the Clubs = Abilene Bar and Lounge
A consistent, long time supporter of the Rochester Music Hall of Fame (RMHF) has been Danny Deustch and his club, the earthy, roots oriented Abilene Bar and Lounge. They'll be celebrating their 10th anniversary in 2018 and, year in and year out, they host strong local, regional and national acts. Although the club originally focused on Americana music and it's still at the core of what they present, they continue to evolve and offer a wide variety of other sounds and styles as well.
One of the artists recently presented by Abilene was Kim Simmonds, one of the founding members of the iconic British blues rock band Savoy Brown. The Friday, Jan 13, 2017 show was presented at the Penthouse at One East Avenue as part of Abilene's "on the road" series. It was a casual, solo performance as Simmond's relied on his harp and two acoustic Gibson guitars (note: Henry Juszkiewicz, the current CEO of Gibson, was raised in Rochester and was officially inducted into the RMHF in 2015). Simmonds presented the crowd of about 75 people a sort of 'MTV Unplugged' meets "home concert" evening of songs and stories. He performed a newer number called "I Can't Stop the Blues" as well as classic Savoy Brown songs such as "Hellbound Train" while casually interspersing stories from the early British Invasion in-between the notes. His version of "Train to Nowhere" (originally sung by Chris Youlden) was presented with a blues drenched slide followed by a Mississippi Fred McDowell song, "Shake Em On Down," insuring that the entire evening stayed focused on the blues.
Looking forward, Abilene is bringing a number of top notch artists to town. Thursday, February 23, will feature one of these artists who's also been a long time supporter of the RMHF, John Mooney. Another passionate blues artist, Mooney's style is fierce, focused and can fire up a crowd with his slide and steel guitar. He was a protégé of one of THE founders of American blues, Son House (who lived in Rochester for many years and was inducted into the RMHF in 2013.)
You'll be able to catch a rollicking Commander Cody in March, the alluring and intriguing Eilen Jewell in April and Americana master Dave Alvin in May. Interestingly, Alvin wrote the song "Abilene" which was part of the inspiration for Danny's club. Having seen each and every one of these artists in concert over the last few years, I highly recommend you pick one or two and check them out.

RMHF Saddened by The Passing of Danny Mayer
The Rochester Music Hall of Fame would like to extend its deepest sympathies to the family, friends and bandmates of Danny Mayer as they mourn his recent sudden passing.
Mayer was a beloved and highly acclaimed musician in the Rochester area best know for his 16 years as the lead vocalist for the rock/metal band, CATCH 22.
Danny was a unique talent, a wonderful person and a devoted father. He will be dearly missed by the Rochester music community.
Melia in Concert / Montage Music Hall
The Montage Music Hall hosted a pre-Halloween show on Sunday October 30, 2016 as former Runaways Lita Ford roared into town with a tight, full assault band dedicated to sustaining the hard rock of the 1980s and 1990s. Opening the show was Rochester's Melia (plus an early appearance by a separate band, Rock-n-Roll Social Club).
Melia has performed sporadically in and around the Rochester area for several years, but has also ventured out of town to Buffalo, Niagara Falls, New York City and more. She also grabbed a few awards at Indie Music Channel Awards events in LA. Melia is celebrating the release of Skeletal Remains, a potent four song EP (mastered by Eastman School grad Bob Ludwig). The new disc is crisp, in-your-face, vibrant, bold and, as she has said, it has a "dark, bittersweet theme throughout the EP." "Charge Like a Bull" cracks the EP open with its razor sharp rock and roll attack and it keeps rumbling from there.
In keeping with the Halloween theme, Melia painted half of her face in a dramatic black/white skeleton design for the show, echoing the cover of her new EP. She aggressively took the stage dressed in all black and ripped into "Charge Like a Bull" followed by another song from the EP as well as a handful of older songs such as the bitter "Just a Bride" and the withering "Soundproof Walls." She's learned a thing or two from Lita and the Runaways (with a bit of Avril Lavigne punk princess tossed into the mix) with Melia's confident "take no prisoners" stage approach. Many opening acts fight to grab the attention of the crowd impatiently waiting for the headliner but Melia hit the crowd hard with fresh, updated rock sounds and earned their allegiance. The crowd may have journeyed out into the dark night to pay tribute to Lita, but Melia made sure she methodically recruited a few new people into her growing army of fans.

Summer school for the kids at The Children's School of Rochester, school No. 15 in the city offers instruction in the basic Three Rs—Reading, Riting and Rithmetic, but a new R has been added. The fourth R is Rmhf as in, the Rochester Music Hall of Fame. RMHF president Karl LaPorta with Board members Tracy Kroft and Jim Richmond gave a history lesson on local music to the kids on July 24th at the request of Curriculum and Instructional Practice Specialist, Mary Frenzel. The children thoroughly enjoyed the presentation which included discussion on local luminaries such Cab Calloway and Chuck Mangione, a short video of clips taken from the Class of 2012 hall of fame induction ceremony and live musical performances by LaPorta and Richmond. Cab Calloway seems to have piqued their curiosity the most according to Frenzel, "…We already have several kids wanting to research Cab Calloway further!" Hall of fame Board members are available for similar presentations for students of all ages. Inquires can be made on the contact page of this web site.

On Monday Granny aka. Sugamama welcomed us with the meal in typical polish style, which has stolen our hearts immediately. Perfect for spring!
As a vegetarian, you should only watch out in this for a non-vege worcestarshire sause (a London inspiration of Granny) and non-vegan piggy dessert (a polish Eastern inspiration :) ).
Ingredients: 1 kilo of potatoes, 4 large onions, 7-8 button mushrooms
Seasoning: herbs de provence, red sweet pepper, salt, black pepper, basil/thyme-just a pinch
Boil potatoes in salted water until they are half-cooked add basil/thyme to the water. Fry all the spices for about 30 secs, add potatoes sprinkled generously with herbs de provence and fry them until golden. Heat the oven to 200C and bake the potatoes until all soft. Sprinkle them with olive oil.
Fry chopped onions and mushrooms separately and put them away until potatoes are ready. Serve altogether in a deep dish.
Green beans: Fried with garlic, black cumin, mustard seed garam masala and chopped dill.
Salad: Anything you have mixed with olive oil and Worcestershire Sauce (it's not vegetarian – contains fish extract).

Time for you, space to breathe
- At May 9, 2013
- By Bec
- In News / Reviews
Today, as usual, I asked each of my clients and class members, 'how are you feeling?'. The answer from pretty much everyone was either 'stressed', 'too busy', or 'exhausted'. It struck me that around 90% of the people who I had been with for the majority of the day seemed to feel this way. The pace of life is so incredibly fast these days, yet we have exactly the same amount of time per day as our forefathers. Along with the speed of life, the amount and variety of pressures seems to have increased as Society 'progresses'. There is currently a lot of research being conducted on the impact on our bodies and minds of our 21st century lives. We will not know the full picture for a good few years, however I can see it reflected in the way people walk, how they stand and in their eyes.
Our bodies are designed to move and be active. Our minds are designed to think, evaluate and ponder. The need for food is designed to nourish and enhance the performance of our body and mind. So why are these the first things to go by the way side when we are too busy or too stressed?
These are the times when in fact we would benefit greatly from a hillside walk, a moment of meditation/self reflection or relaxation and a large nutritious (but still delicious!) meal. It is like a self perpetuating cycle which is difficult to break out of and very dangerous. Cortisol is a hormone which is released into your system when you feel stressed as part of the fight or flight response (also naturally released for other reasons). A prolonged release of cortisol from stress has many negative effects such as lowering your immune system, storage of abdominal fat, higher blood pressure and psychological changes. Research has also shown that periods of chronic stress can result in cortisol staying in the body for over 2 years!
It is important to acknowledge the pressures we feel and the emotions they stir, but even more vital to take action and do things in your life to create moments of ease and movement at these times. The body and mind are inextricably connected. One directly effects the other. So what small practical things can we do when life gets on top of us?
1. Daily movement and exercise – leisurely walk, Yoga at home, cycling into work, gardening for the summer, countryside or coastal run, swimming in a peaceful environment, Pilates or Yoga session, a spinning class (!), rolling out the body with a Pilates roller.
2. Moment of calm – 5/10 minutes of meditation, writing in your self reflective journal, deep breaths whilst commuting to work, afternoon nap when the baby is asleep, hot bath before bed, massage at a beautiful salon, an uplifting and moving novel, switch off ALL electronic devices for a short time so you can 'shut down and re-charge'.
3. Fresh, healthy food – fresh vegetables, lean protein, regular slow release energy snacks, range of colourful fruits like pomegranate and grapes, raw nuts, herbal teas such as fennel or camomile.
Try these small things or even just one when you feel the pressure mount up. Tell someone you trust how you are feeling and what you are going to do to ease your way through this particular time and they can do it with you or support you in breaking the cycle. Choose to look after your body and boast your health, even through the difficult times. This will help you to face life straight in the eyes and enjoy the ride for all it's worth!
