Hey everybody, hope all is well. Just doing some venting. Over the past month i've hired 3 different welders with certs. All seem to weld fine on my pre hiring weld test but when they're out in the field the talent fades. Not to mention the whining and complaining of the cold and the mud. We work in Canada in the winter i hope its cold. have a small company of 5 solid welders that have been with me for 5 years but cant seem to get lucky with any new hires. Any business owners, supervisors noticed a trend lately of the lack of skilled welders. Post your comments this is driving me mental.

Your either paying them to much, that its gone to their heads. (That's where the whining comes from) had a coworker last year. A machinist $25+hr. Had to have coffee and a cigarette every 1/2hr. Would complaint about everything. The foreman put him on probation & no smoking in the shop. Last I heard he's straight ad an arrow.
About the weld quality, if they ain't motivated to do quality. Welds. Have em grind the welds off and fix them. Make them aware. That below grade welds. Are not satisfactory. If this doesn't do it hire new help.
Also it sounds like your wrlders are working outside. As an employer give them a comfortable environment. ( thermal gloves, boots & overalls. Goes a long ways..

First thought....
The pay is not attractive to the skilled guys.
It's winter time in Canada, all us skilled guys live in Texas.

Working in the cold puts hair on your chest and in some cases on your back. My employees are pretty spoiled. The best of the best equipment and warm winter gear coming out the ying yang. I think some blame has to go to college welding programs and private trade schools. People get their tickets and think they're full rate welders. To me a cert from a school is your license to learn.

Sounds like you are getting called upon to strap on that instructor gear and go produce an environment of better crew members which - is self benefiting at the end of the day after all. Guess you've also just learned (or been reminded) that you can't depend on others to produce to your expectations either.

I love the cold!
I live in Quebec,Canada and its a issue we see as well. I've been an Ironworker for 7 years now, fabrication and on site installation. But its not only a problem for welder/ironworkers its in all trades. Most guys I know take the season off.
We are obliged to be unionized to work construction here. So when you first join a union they send you a book with your worker rights which is fine but some guys take advantage of it, example if its +40c or above or -35c or below you can just go home. Its happened plenty of times we are less then a hand full of guys on site because of this.
For the quality in welds in my opinion, welding coupons to pass tests and welding on site are two different things. What we have done in the past is let our welders weld only during shop fabrication to see his workmanship, quality ect. for a period of time as a trial period before we even consider letting them weld on site certified or not.
So having dealt with the same problems you're having we are only 2 workers in the company right now. Better to let jobs go cause lack of man power then loss money on bad workmanship that can also ruin a company's rep.
I blame companies like Miller that build new machines so advanced that even my pet dog's welding can look good. Far too many young welders have used these latest technologies to compensate for unskilled welding techniques.

Thousands of service members from 19 countries are participating in Eager Lion, an annual multinational exercise.
Taking place at various locations around Jordan, the exercise began June 9 and runs through June 20.
ìThis exercise is designed to encounter national security challenges such as counterinsurgency, border security, close-air support and integration of the whole of government,î said Maj. Gen. Awni al Adwan, chairman of joint task force with the Jordanian army.
Jordan is hosting more than 8,000 Eager Lion participants, who will be conducting operations by land, air and sea. The exercise includes events such as visit, board, search and seizure techniques and live-fire demonstrations.
ìAll of this combined training, led by the Jordanian armed forces, will come together over the next two weeks, strengthening the partnership between 19 countries and increasing the ability of participating nations to operate together during any contingency,î said Army Maj. Gen. Robert G. Catalanotti, U.S. Central Commandís director of exercises and training.
About 5,000 U.S. service members from all services are participating in this yearís exercise, along with Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps aircraft and ships, Centcom officials said.

For the past 32 YEARS the United States has had a Bush or Clinton in the White House!!
In 2008 people voted for "Change" and if you REALLY want Change, do NOT vote for Obama, period.
This country needs to rid the White House of both these families. It's time to see if other AMERICAN families can do a better job.
1980- 1988 : George H. Bush was the Vice President
1988 - 1992 : George H. Bush was the President
1992 - 2000 : Bill Clinton was President
2000 - 2008 : George W. Bush was President
2008 - 2012 : Hilary Clinton IS the Secretary of State
That is 32 YEARS of the same two families being in the White House!! If you vote for Obama how many MORE YEARS are we going to be dealing with Clinton's and Bush's?? I will tell you. IF Obama is elected we will get another FOUR years of Hilary Clinton. THEN, after serving 8 YEARS in the White House as Secretary of State, she WILL run President. If she wins that will be another 4 - 8 YEARS of having a Clinton or Bush in the White House. Let's not even bring up Jeb Bush. I am a Republican but even I say NOT to Jeb Bush. If this wasn't enough abuse of power by TWO families, most people who follow the news knows full well that Bill Clinton has his eye on becoming the President of the UN.
32 Years already.......an Obama vote could lead to 36 Years, and quite possible 40-44 Years in a row with a Clinton or Bush in the White House, with Bill Clinton running the UN.
If you care about YOUR country, and this world, you MUST stop the Clinton's and the Bush's from keeping the power that they have and are obsessed with.

"The enemy of most authors is not piracy but obscurity."
A few days back, Dave Charest posted that on Twitter, perfectly encapsulating a line of thought that's been haunting me for the past nine months or so.
More on this a bit lower down in the post…
* * * * * *
In all honesty, I didn't plan on taking a Summer Hiatus — and, really, given the amount of work I've gotten done over the past few months, I still could use a vacation. But if I went off somewhere for a week, you can bet I'd spend most of it writing.
Once the dust settled after moving earlier in the summer, I got sidetracked by the aforementioned secret science fiction project. If you've been following along on Twitter or Facebook, then you already know that the project is a comic book treatment/proposal called "Chimera" and that it's been sent off to my friends in Singapore. So we'll see where that goes.
(Speaking of which, let me offer a belated "Welcome to the World" to the lovely and perfect Ms. Prudence. And congratulations to her excellent parents, Gavin and WeeNee. Nice work.)
Interestingly enough, since completing the preliminary outline and scripts for this project, I've found a handful of upcoming movies and comics that share some of the same elements. There's no direct correlation, just some interesting thematic parallels and plot points. But I gave up on getting frustrated by that sort of thing a long time ago. We're all tapped into the same frequencies, so it's no surprise when we resonate along similar lines.
In the documentary The Mindscape of Alan Moore, this is referred to as "Idea Space" and that's just as good a way to think about it as anything else.
(For certain kinds of brains, that movie is a mind-stretching experience. I recommend it.)
Any time I didn't spend on "Chimera" over the past few months was spent working on a poem.
That's right. One poem.
I spent a ridiculous amount of time on this particular poem. And all I have to show for it are about twenty-three pages of handwritten gibberish, incomplete villanelle rhyming schemes, and no poem.
I am mad at this poem. It is in a time-out right now and if it's very good, I might let it out someday.
I also finally finished a new play that had been languishing on the back burner for what I thought would only be a few months but which, surprisingly, turned out to be a few years. But it's done now and once I tweak some formatting, I'll be posting it here for one and all to enjoy.
In the interests of full disclosure, I should mention that it isn't actually a new play at all. Truth be told, it's actually a complete reworking of the first play I ever wrote. Hard to believe, but that was over twenty years ago. And the idea/premise for the play is even older, going back almost thirty years.
I always felt like that premise deserved somewhat better than what my nineteen-year-old self was able to do with it. A few years back something shifted inside my head and I said "Yeah… that could work." So I threw out most of the story and characters, retooled everything, kept the bits that worked, and put it all into the hands of a girl named Elizabeth to see what she would do with it. As a character, Liz surprised the hell out of me and I've grown as fond of her as anyone I've ever written.
Most surprisingly, the things that didn't work in the first version of the script — all those things I wanted to resolve and repair — are still present and problematic in this latest version. I'd blame Liz, but it's obviously the writer's fault.
At any rate, the name of the play is "Drawing Away" and I'll be posting it sometime this coming weekend. Stay tuned for details.
In the midst of all of this, an old acquaintance from college got in touch via Facebook. Usually getting pinged by someone from the past is a bit of a mixed bag (I've whined about this before) but, for many reasons, that wasn't the case this time. And, in a surprising degree of coincidence and convergence, twenty years ago this acquaintance had played the lead in the original version of the play that I'd just finished retooling. Coincidence? Alan Moore probably has something to say about that sort of thing as well.
Somewhere, I've got a VHS of that play floating around. I'll try to pull a scene or two and post them here. If nothing else, there's a high degree of nostalgia for me. That was at the beginning of it all, one of a very few specific milestones that I can point to and say "There. That's when I felt my life shift on its axis."
But, for once, I didn't resent Facebook for reconnecting me with someone from the past.
As many of you know, I have a day job working in Advertising. Most of my time is spent helping my clients navigate the thorny paths of various online mechanisms for connecting with their audiences, customers, and so on. I'm reasonably competent at what I do, fortunately. And it's a fairly enjoyable way to earn a living.
In the past month or so, I've had the opportunity to help one of my clients take their first little baby steps into social networking. What this means is that, for all intents and purposes, I'm spending a couple of hours a day on Twitter and Facebook as my client. Actually, there are three different and distinct brands that I'm managing, across two different networks (that's six accounts total). I've got seven different browser tabs open at all times, a 3×3 TweetGrid that runs real time searches on related terms, and an ever-evolving strategy for helping my client participate in these conversations in a way that's meaningful, human, and worthwhile.
It is, as you might imagine, a hell of a lot to keep straight onscreen — to say nothing of inside my chronically porous little Gemini brain. And I still have difficulty coming to terms with the concept that I get paid to do this sort of thing.
Fortunately, they haven't heard about "Stripper Friday".
Not a bad gig, really — at least, it'll do until that whole "Writer" thing ramps up.
Although it does remind me of the old "First you do it for love…" thing.
And on that note, back to the beginning…
I have a couple of semi-announcements to share.
First off, I recently put together a portable sound studio similar to this one. Which means that, over time, I'm going to (a) Re-record both "Assam & Darjeeling" and "Matters of Mortology" to improve the overall production quality and clean up the rough edges in the original recordings; and (b) Begin a new podcast with an open format more suited to conversation, interviews, and shorter pieces. The re-recording could take a few months, of course. But I expect the new podcast to kick off sometime in October.
Second, if you're one of the many people who's written to me about getting ahold of a copy of either "Matters of Mortology" or "Assam & Darjeeling" that you can hold in your hands and read with your whaddyacall actual eyes, then good news is on the way. Starting with "Mortology" in a few weeks, both books will be released in a variety of formats: Softcover, Hardcover, PDF, and a few of the eBook readers (Amazon's Kindle is for sure, the Sony Reader is a possibility as well).
It's an . . . experiment, of a sort. I'm very interested to see how it goes.
Watch this space for details.
* * * * * *
Speaking of which, it's time now for something I really should do more often…
I met author Tony Delgrosso on Twitter some long while back. Not sure how we connected but he's clever and funny, so I bet that had something to do with it. Sometime last year, Tony began publishing his novel "Mr. Abernathy" online in installments. It's a fun yarn and Delgrosso does a good job taking some of the classic thriller elements (Secret Nazi research, time travel, and [maybe?] UFO technology) and crafts an enjoyable, engaging book out of them. I wrote a review for it on GoodReads, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it here as well.
Another reason I like this book is that it's from an author taking steps to promote his work outside of the traditional (and increasingly, frustratingly hermetically-sealed) publishing industry. It's a bit inspiring and, like the man said, "it is a comfort to the unfortunate to have companions in woe."
You can pick up a copy of Tony Delgrosso's "Mr. Abernathy" online.

Demented Are Go are a Welsh psychobilly band that was formed around 1982 in Cardiff. They were one of the earliest in the initial wave of bands to mix punk rock with rockabilly, and as a result, are considered to be highly influential to the psychobilly scene. The band often claims their name originated from the phrase "Demon teds are go!," an adaptation of the phrase "Thunderbirds are go!" from the Thunderbirds TV series, as rockabillies are known as teds and psychobilly is often associated with horror.

Police say manufacturing defect likely in 'isolated incident'
The Calvert County Sheriff's Office sent a notice out to the community Friday after receiving a report of a sewing needle found in a 13-year-old's Halloween candy.
The sewing needle was found Friday morning in the Cherry Lane subdivision of St. Leonard, the day after Halloween trick-or-treating, said 1st. Sgt. Brent Parrott of the sheriff's office.
Shortly after the sheriff's office sent out a Nixle alert at about 10:52 a.m., Capt. Steve Jones of the sheriff's office said, "The kid was handling the piece of candy, handling a Hershey bar, about 2 inches in length ... and he noticed and felt something in the packaging. The mother opened it and found the sewing needle."
"I think the kid got poked," Parrott said.
Police believe the sewing needle to be an isolated incident possibly due to a manufacturing issue, and both Parrott and Jones said the sheriff's office plans to report it to the Hershey Co., according to the alert.

Hong Kong - Under the Bridge Spicy Crab
First heard about this restaurant from Singaporean friends/relatives who dined there during their holidays in Hong Kong. Then, as we were having Indonesian-style chilli crabs (cooked using Papua New Guinean crabs) in East Java a couple of weeks back, a Malaysian colleague also mentioned how much he preferred Under the Bridge's spicy crab dish in Hong Kong - which further heightened my curiousity.
Anyway, I finally got round to trying out their much-vaunted spicy crab this evening. The crabs were smallish (nowhere near the size of Sri Lankan crabs used in Singapore for chilli or black pepper crab dishes). The crisp garlic/chilli/scallion topping was good - but actually tasted better with pork ribs - yep, there was a Under the Bridge Pork-Rib dish, which was delicious.
Another signature dish - Under the Bridge fried rice was memorable - diced prawns, carrots, kailan stems, red cabbage and salted duck's egg yolk.
We also ordered the bittergourd and shrimp omelette which was delicious.

I love this restaurant. But the crabs are better in Singapore. I prefer the black pepper sauce also. Under the Bridge has great clams in chill garlic sauce also and I love the Prawns fried in Duck egg yolk too.
re: intrepidgourmand
I agree - Singapore chilli crabs (cooked using those large meaty Sri Lankan crabs) are definitely superior to these HK spicy, garlicky crabs which may also be too oily for some diners.
My fave crab dishes in South-east Asia are actually Thai-style curried crabs from T-Pochana in Bangkok (Thai crabs have sweeter flesh than Sri Lankan crabs) and steamed crabs from Sarang Kepiting in Jl Gunong Sahari in Jakarta (Indonesian crabs are also meaty, and with even sweeter flesh than Thai ones!).
re: klyeoh
The fried garlic bits also cause gas if too much is eaten....
re: mikey8811
Whoa, now *that* I didn't know, mikey. The only place I had problems with bloatedness due to its food was Korea - methinks I've got some allergic reaction to kim chi due to its fermented qualities. The last 3 times I was in Seoul, I have problems from week 2 onwards, which doesn't augur well for my 5-week trip to Korea this June.
re: klyeoh
I had some great Patagonian Tooth fish in Seoul. I think that is what they call sea bass there. I hate the Korean metal chop sticks. Much more difficult to use than the Chinese chop sticks. The easiest to use are the Japanese ones.
re: intrepidgourmand
I had an English colleague who went to Korea a couple of times with me, and he absolutely could not wield the thin, metallic Korean chopsticks. I had some difficulty myself as I only learnt to use chopsticks when I was about 20 years old.
So, we'd inadvertently ask for wooden, disposable chopsticks which we could use - always available as all the restaurants stock them for takeaways ;-)
re: klyeoh
I will try that next time. Those metal ones are round and really difficult to use. The wooden disposable ones are a lot easier to use.
Made any plans for Bangalore / Chennai yet?
re: intrepidgourmand
So far, most likely return visits to Karavalli (Bangalore) for its incredible Keralan cuisine, Mavalli Tiffin Rooms (Bangalore) for some of the best Udupi-style vegetarian cuisine in South India, Rain Tree (Chennai) for its spicy Chettinad cuisine, Woodlands (Chennai) for its superb, wafer-thin dosas (thosais) and Murugan (Chennai) for its idlis. Dum Pukht & Dakshin in both cities also beckon.
re: klyeoh
All very good. I love Ponnusamy in Chennai. They have 4 - 5 branches but the original is at Royapettah. Excellent Chettinad food, the local cuisine of Tamil Nadu. They will have stuff like Rabbit which is unusual in Indian food from other states. I love the Mutton pepper fry and the Egg Appams too. Everything at Murugan Idli is good including the Pongal and Dosa. MTR surely makes the best Masala Dosa in the world (and by a distance!). Grillhouse at Bangalore has decently priced steaks (Indian buffalo, so not very fatty).
re: intrepidgourmand
Thanks for the tips! I'll be sure to post back :-)

- Murugan Idli in Chennai http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/844957
i actually love this place, while its clearly not like fine dining or anything like that i find it so satisfying
i reviewed it a while back and i ate here about a year ago as well:
i dont think it really should be compared to singaporean chili crab b/c its not the same dish at all aside from the english name. that said i do love those sri lankan crabs you guys get in singapore.
Besides the signature dish (mantis prawn version is great as well), i think the clams in spicy sauce, spare ribs, fish head and the steamed live scallops with garlic and vermicelli are excellent (the scallops were particularly surprisingly good last time i was there)
also next time ask them for congee, the garlic bits taste great in it
re: Lau
If you think this place is good, you should have eaten their food when they were operating on Sampans in Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelters years ago!! The seafood of course was good. But what lingered in my mind was those small bowl of Roasted Duck on Rice noodle Ho-Fun. So damn flavorful!! Somehow, it just tasted different? Additional of sea water spray, may be?! Ha!!
They also have an incredible 'sweet and slightly tangy' clams which somehow no one managed to duplicate nowadays?!! Way, way better than the common garlic, black bean sauce or spicy preparation these days!!
re: Charles Yu
i would have loved to eaten on one of those, sounds awesome
the food you're talking about sounds incredible, id need to see a pic to see if ive ever tried it before...im actually dying for real cantonese food in HK, hopefully make it at the end of the year for a couple of days (tenatively planning on going to taiwan for a bit)

Selections from For Children
Composed during 1908-10, revised in 1943; 12 minutes
As one of the leaders of the modernist movement during the mid-20th century, Béla Bartók developed an original musical language that, while thoroughly grounded in the features of Hungarian folk music, tended to avoid direct quotations of folk tunes, except in the early part of Bartók's careerm when the folk influence was more overt. As a talented pianist in his own right, it was only natural that his extensive research into folk music should influence his early piano pieces, many of which (including the well-known Mikrokosmos) were written specifically for children.
Indeed, one of Bartók's first piano collections was titled explicitly For Children. From 1908–09 he compiled into four volumes a collection of 85 short pieces based on Hungarian and Slovakian folk tunes. They are graduated works that increase somewhat in difficulty as the performer works through the set. Still, to accommodate children's smaller hands, they almost entirely avoid spans larger than an octave.
Bartók revised the set in 1945, removing some of the pieces that were based on inaccurately transcribed folk tunes or which had been revealed subsequently as inauthentic. He altered the harmonizations of some others, and the cycle—now comprising only 79 pieces—was reissued in its definitive form.
The excerpts heard on this program range from the wistful (No. 3) to the mercurial (No. 8) and somber (No. 17), marking points along the varied and volatile continuum of childhood temperaments. The lusty "Drinking Song" (No. 20) and the energetic dance (No. 21) that follow round out the first volume of pieces by presenting a child's impression of "grown-up" life.
From Volume 2, a syncopated but reserved "Moderato" (No. 26) is juxtaposed against the playful "Jest" (No. 27), and the sprightly "Pentatonic Tune" (No. 29) leads directly into sharp taunts and jabs of the asymmetrical "Jeering Song" (No. 30). An "Allegro non troppo" (No. 33) contains two parallel phrases, both opening bravely but progressively fading to a single pitch.
The three pieces that follow are all exceptionally brief: a richly-harmonized "Allegretto" (No. 34), a "Con moto" (No. 35) that alternates phrases in duple and triple meter, and a "Drunkard's Song" (No. 36) that seems remarkably assured, given its title. The vigorously embellished "Swineherd's Dance" (No. 40) that completes this selection approaches softly from a distance, gaining strength as it moves closer before its drone accompaniment and sprightly melody recede into a remote pppp dynamic.

Born Vienna, January 31, 1797; died Vienna, November 19, 1828
Sonata in G major, D. 894
Composed in 1826; 40 minutes
During his lifetime, Franz Schubert was known to the music establishment in Vienna almost exclusively as a composer of a handful of lovely accompanied songs. Only some close friends were aware that he also composed numerous solo piano works and chamber pieces. Almost nobody outside his circle knew he had written symphonies. It was not until after Schubert's death that his other compositions began to be performed, and this was largely through the efforts of Robert Schumann, who praised Schubert's music extensively.
Schubert completed his Piano Sonata in G major in 1826, but when it was published the following year it was only his third sonata to appear in print. Contemporary reviewers consequently thought it must be one of his first efforts, and while praising his potential, they compared the work unfavorably with Beethoven. What's more, Beethoven had published his last piano sonatas four years earlier, and the public's tastes had changed in the meantime. Subscribers were looking for shorter, less demanding works—the long, multi-movement sonata had apparently become outdated, and Schubert's must have seemed a remnant of a fading era.
Schubert's publisher, Tobias Haslinger, wanted to get the most out of what he presumed would be a financial risk, and did not call this work a "sonata" when it was published. Instead, he listed it as "Fantasie, Andante, Menuetto und Allegretto," as though it were four separate, shorter pieces, hoping that the option of playing each of the movements as an individual work would help sell the piece. Even today, performers occasionally play excerpted movements individually.
This sonata was written just a few months after Schubert's last string quartet, also in the key of G major. Connections between the string quartet and sonata are significant—the composer uses some of the same thematic devices, and often the textures of the sonata look as if they were conceived for a quartet. In this regard he follows in the footsteps of Beethoven, who also took advantage of the early 19th-century elasticity between the two genres.
The opening movement is the first time Schubert used a tempo marking of Molto moderato in a sonata. It's also the first time he used a 12/8 time signature. The effect of this combination is to enlarge the space between downbeats, creating a calm, expansive movement almost entirely free of rhythmic drive. Schubert fills the movement with melody, exploring distant keys and colorful modulations mainly in the development section (which also includes his only use of the fff dynamic marking).
The ensuing slow movement was originally conceived quite differently than its present form. Schubert had followed the opening theme with a gentle B-minor melody, which was the basis for much of the movement's middle section. He then rejected most of this material, but had to keep the original beginning and ending because the reverse sides of the manuscript contained the end of the first movement and the opening of the minuet respectively.
The third-movement minuet and trio draws on the legacy of Schubert's dances for solo piano, written earlier in his career. He later borrowed the rhythm of the minuet's theme in the opening movement of his Piano Trio in E flat, D. 929. The central trio section is in the form of a tranquil and delicate Austrian ländler.
The finale seems to be modeled on the finale of Beethoven's G-major Sonata, Op. 31, No. 1. But while Beethoven labeled his a rondo, Schubert merely implies the rondo form in the alternation of often lengthy episodes. The second episode in particular is so expansive as to constitute a complete self-contained dance with its own trio section.

Born Innsbruck, Austria, September 16, 1963
Poems: 12 Pieces for Pianists and Other Children (New York premiere)
Composed during 2001–10; 15 minutes
Tyrolean composer and pianist Thomas Larcher studied at the Vienna Musikhochschule in the early 1980s, where he earned a reputation as an energetic advocate of contemporary piano music. That advocacy continued into the 1990s, when Larcher co-founded the "Klansgpuren" Music Festival in the Tyrol, which quickly gained an international following. While directing that festival (a position he held until 2003), Larcher also taught piano at the Basel Musikhoschschule. He then organized the "Musik im Riesen" Festival (also in the Tyrol), which he still directs today. Soon after, Larcher began to devote his time more fully to original composition, with important commissions coming from festivals in Salzburg and Lucerne. Today he writes music full time, known internationally as one of Austria's leading contemporary composers. His website is thomas-larcher.com.
Although Larcher has written orchestral and concerto works, compositions for chamber ensemble (many of them piano-based), and vocal pieces, it is naturally in the genre of solo piano music that he feels most at home, with a corpus of works that go back to his student days in the 1980s. One of Larcher's more recent keyboard works is his Poems, a set of twelve piano miniatures from 2009 written, he notes, "for pianists and other children." Each piece was premiered individually by young pianists at the 2010 Spannungen Festival in Heimbach (Germany), then the entire set was performed in its entirety by Lars Vogt at the end of the festival. It receives its New York premiere in this performance.
This conflation of childhood and pianism refers in part to the simplified technique—some of the pieces, the composer observes, are indeed very easy. But they arise also from Larcher's own youthful experiments with music and composition, and of course refer directly to the historical precedents of piano works written especially for young performers, from Bach and Schumann to Bartók and Kurtág.
The sometimes enigmatic titles refer to the inspirations from Larcher's childhood that stimulated his musical experiments, some dating back to his pre-teen years, which were then reimagined as finished works when the composer was an adult. There is an understandable element of nostalgia about them, grounded in remembrances of the tonal tradition, but infused with Larcher's characteristic wit and musical idiosyncrasy.

Three Intermezzi, Op. 117
Composed in 1892; 16 minutes
The solo piano was Brahms's chosen medium both for his first published compositions and his next-to-last works. In between, he periodically returned to the piano while exploring the other genres that more firmly established his reputation: lieder, chamber music, symphony and concerto. His shorter works for piano fall easily, then, into three distinct periods: the early works, the middle period collections of Op. 76 and Op. 79 (written in 1879–80), and the final flowering of piano works composed and published as Opp. 116-119 in 1892–93.
While the early- and middle-period compositions demonstrate Brahms's youthful fire and energy, the later works are primarily reflective and introspective. The composer's dear friend Clara Schumann was the first to see them in manuscript, and it is sometimes suggested that Brahms wrote them in a technically less-demanding style so Clara could play them with greater ease. But by this time Clara's public performing career was essentially over, and arthritis severely curtailed even her private playing. These works seem, rather, to be simply a manifestation of the essence of Brahms's late style. Each of the lyric miniatures shows a spiritual concentration, a distillation of technique so vivid that every note, every sound, makes its point without superfluous effect or showmanship.
Brahms referred to his Three Intermezzi, Op. 117, as "three lullabies to my sorrows," and the score includes a epigraph drawn from Herder's translation of a Scottish folk poem, "Lady Anne Bothwell's Lament":
Schlaf sanft mein Kind, schlaf sanft und Schön!
Mich dauert's sehr, dich weinen sehn.
Sleep softly my child, sleep softly and well!
It hurts my heart to see you weeping.
The presence of this poetic fragment has inspired a century of speculation regarding possible programmatic connections between the poem and Brahms's music. But whether the folk-like song heard in an inner voice of the first intermezzo is a quotation, a pastiche or simply a heartfelt creation of the composer, it still captures a universal feeling of wistful melancholy and nostalgia, independent of any alleged literary connection.
The second intermezzo is nominally in the key of B-flat minor but quickly veers toward the relative major (D-flat), the key of its chorale-like central section. A "black-note" key such as this would in earlier decades have been used for a virtuosic display of piano pyrotechnics. This intermezzo's gentle arpeggios are, then, a fading echo of the fieriness of Brahms's younger style and perhaps an allusion to Clara Schumann's once-vaunted piano technique.
Similarly, the darkness and textural austerity of the third intermezzo's opening seem to suggest a diminishment of sorts. But the lively central section vividly recalls the passion and elegance of Brahms's earlier piano works before lapsing back into a reprise of the forlorn opening theme.

Variations on a Theme by Paganini, Book I, Op. 35
Composed during 1862–63; 12 minutes
It was in the early part of his career as a piano composer that Brahms demonstrated most powerfully his youthful fire and energy, a period crowned by his Variations on a Theme by Paganini, Op. 35, completed in 1863. These variations were the product of the composer's lengthy conversations with the pianist Karl Tausig on the nature of piano technique and the phenomenon of the virtuoso performer. Comprising two books, each with 14 variations of the well-known tune, the Paganini Variations seem to have temporarily exhausted Brahms's impulse to write for the piano. It was another 15 years before he would produce his next works for solo piano, the collection of shorter pieces published as Op. 76.
By far the most virtuosic piano writing Brahms ever produced, the Paganini Variations are almost Lisztean (and therefore atypical of Brahms) in their exploration of the limits of piano technique. Originally published under the title "Studies for Pianoforte," it's possible that Brahms intended these variations not so much as a unified concert piece but rather as a set of short, virtuosic études for private study. Clara Schumann, whose piano technique rivaled Liszt's, even referred to them as the Hexenvariationen or Witch's Variations because of their difficulty. But unlike Liszt, whose phenomenal technique could occasionally lapse into facile showmanship, Brahms's Paganini Variations call for an emotional maturity and spiritual depth that put this work beyond the grasp of the merely fast-fingered virtuoso. As one writer has put it, they require "fingers of steel, a heart of burning lava and the courage of a lion."
Each of the two books of variations begin with a statement of the theme, Paganini's famous 24th Caprice in A minor for Solo Violin, which had by this time already been used as the basis of variation sets by Schumann and Liszt, and would later be used by many others. The concise but richly elaborated variations follow, exploring all facets of extended virtuoso performance and climaxing with a longer "fantasia" variation (the 14th) as a turbulent conclusion.

Lars Vogt has rapidly established himself as one of the leading pianists of his generation. He has enjoyed a special relationship with the Berlin Philharmonic ever since he was named its first-ever pianist in residence for the 2003-04 season. He also had a residence at the Mozartwoche in Salzburg with the Vienna Philharmonic and Mahler Chamber Orchestra. He has also appeared with the New York Philharmonic; Chicago, London and NHK (Japan) symphonies; Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam and Dresden Staatskapelle and National Accademy of Santa Cecilia in Rome.
This past season, Mr. Vogt made several appearances in North America, performing with orchestras in Toronto, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Seattle and touring with Christian Tetzlaff to New York, Philadelphia and other major cities. He performed with the London Philharmonic both at home and on tour in the UK and Germany. As a chamber musician and recitalist, he enjoys regular partnerships with colleagues such as Christian Tetzlaff and Thomas Quasthoff and collaborates occasionally with actor Klaus-Maria Brandauer and comedian Konrad Beikircher.
An EMI recording artist, Lars Vogt has made fifteen discs for the label, including the Hindemith Kammermusik No. 2 with the Berlin Philharmonic and the Schumann, Grieg and first two Beethoven concertos with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. In September 2010, he released a solo Liszt and Schumann disc on the Berlin Classics label.
Born in the German town of Düren, he first came to public attention when he won second prize at the 1990 Leeds International Piano Competition. In June 1998, he founded his own festival in Heimbach, Germany. Known as "Spannungen", its huge success has been marked by the release of ten live recordings on EMI. In 2005 he founded "Rhapsody in School" which has become a high profile education project across Germany. His website is larsvogt.com.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Boston Bruins and Los Angeles Kings will both be eyeing bounce-back efforts on Thursday night when the two clubs clash in a meeting between recent Stanley Cup winners.
The Bruins, 2011 Cup winners, had won five of their previous seven before suffering a 5-2 setback to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday in the start of a three-game swing through California.
The Kings, meanwhile, have split the first two of a five-game homestand. The 2012 NHL champions snapped a five-game slide with a win over Vancouver on Saturday, but dropped a 2-1 shootout to the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday.
Boston was never able to recover from a 3-0 deficit on Tuesday versus Anaheim, getting goals from Daniel Paille and Dougie Hamilton to make it a one-goal game before the Ducks netted the final two scores of the contest.
Tuukka Rask allowed all five goals on 20 shots in the loss.
"We felt like we played good and we were able to score some goals," said Rask. "In the third we were able to make it a one-goal game, but then it got away from us."
Boston played without forward Milan Lucic due to illness, believed to be food poisoning, but returned to practice on Wednesday and could play tonight.
The Bruins, who visit San Jose on Saturday to cap their swing, is also close to getting forward Loui Eriksson back from his second concussion of the season. He suffered his latest head injury on Dec. 7 and has missed 14 straight.
Eriksson was cleared for contact on Wednesday, though coach Claude Julien said the forward is doubtful for this game.
The Kings, meanwhile, have been held to two goals or fewer in six of their last seven games. They got a goal from Jarret Stoll in Tuesday's loss, but the Wild netted the lone tally of the four-round shootout.
Jeff Carter and Dwight King assisted on Stoll's tally that came 50 seconds into the third period and Jonathan Quick made 16 saves in his second game back from a groin injury suffered in mid-November.
"You can't always expect the big guys to score all of the time. We need to get more secondary scoring, and more opportunities from our defense," said Kings coach Darryl Sutter.
The Kings had won five in a row over the Bruins before getting beat in both meetings during the 2011-12 campaign.
Quick is 5-2-0 with a 2.19 goals against average in seven career meetings with the Bruins, while Rask has faced the Kings just once before. That came on Dec. 13, 2011 in Boston and Rask notched a 41-save shutout.
Boston has won four of its last six in Los Angeles.

I had everything on hand except for the ciabatta rolls, so I just used sliced Italian bread, and that seemed to work out wonderfully. I just eye-balled everything to my taste. I have to say that this really DID taste like a jalapeno popper...SO GOOD! I can't wait to make this for my husband, I know he will LOVE it too. Thanks for sharing this fun, creative and delicious sandwich, that I will be making often~YUM! :)

Excellent sandwich! I think, to make it an unqualified 5 star recipe, the next time I will add a crisply cooked and crumbled slice of bacon.
Yum! This was delicious. I realized I didn't have sour cream so added a little mayo instead. I used Italian bread-I think this sandwich would be good on any bread of your liking. Served with a salad for a very tasty dinner. Thanks for sharing-this is a great recipe!
OMG how much better could it get?!?!? I needed a quick dinner after work and threw these together in under 15 min. Used pepper-jack cheese in place of colby. Served with Spicy tomato soup (tomato soup with hot sauce added). Thanks so much for this recipe:)
Use fresh jalepenos
Delicious! I added some slices of rotisserie chicken from grocer (they make a honey jalepeño flavor that matched perfectly), and this was a filling meal! Yummm
this is great! don't skimp on the ciabatta bread. It really makes the sandwich!

Rated 3 out of 5�by 2XU not for me 2XU not for me I gave these a 3 star rating overall because these cannot be worn as a solo piece I purchased these after reading nice reviews. On, they felt great, and I was certain that they would do the job that I wanted these compression pants to do....then I turned around, they were almost shear! I could see every design on my panties! Very disappointed that these could not be worn as a solo piece. Had I felt that $89 was a fair price as an under garment I'm sure try would've been totally awesome, but no, for this price, I wanted to be able to wear them as solo capris. Returned them. I would still recommend as an under piece. December 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jenna awesome tights Tights look and feel awesome. Haven't had any problems and had also bought the long tights when I was on vacation in Australia last year - super excited when I saw 2XU at Dicks. I feel amazing when I wear them and feel less pain. May 1, 2013

If you've ever sauntered into the avant-garde La Cienega compound of Opening Ceremony, your eyes surely feel insta-butterflies thumbing through its madcap racks (and perhaps your Amex immediately started to tremble, too?). Owners Carol Lim and Humberto Leon have 100% monopolized the market on cool, uncommon goods — and they're no slackers in curating employees, either. Every single staffer is impeccably dressed and impressively knowledgeable. Case in point: ruler of the L.A. roost, Ms. Jenny Le.
On a rare day when she wasn't globetrotting with her bosses or managing her team of 33, we hit her Silver Lake pad to dig through her bonkers closet and watch her self-styling in action. Click through this treasure trove of classy quirk — we swear there's inspiration galore in store!

ETSU Men Place Third, Women Place Fifth in the Final Day of the SoCon Indoor Track and Field Championship
Sunday, February 29, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 29, 2004) - In the second and final day of competition at the Southern Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships, ETSU provided another stellar performance placing third overall on the men's side and fifth overall on the women's. "The men's team has come a long way and has made significant steps forward with the third place finish," said assistant coach Michelle Byrne. "It was a real team effort on the men's side. Championships are made with athlete's being able to sacrifice individual accomplishments for the team and that is what happened today." In the men's track events, junior Buccaneer Brad Yewer (Newbury, England) defended his mile title from a year ago, pacing the field at 4:12.86. Yewer also had a strong showing in the 5000 meters with a mark of 14:53.80 for the second-place finish. For the weekend's accomplishments Yewer was voted Men's Indoor Track Performer of the Year along with Chattanooga's Steven Kocsis. "Brad ran a great 3000-meter race yesterday and a phenomenal mile and 5000-meter race today. He is a team player to the highest degree." In the 800 meters, ETSU notched second and third place with top finishes from senior David Haefner (Hamburg, N.Y.) and freshman Joshua Hicks (Riceville, Tenn.), respectively. Sophomore James Rainer (Alcoa, Tenn.) continued to see success in the sprints with his time of 6.82 in the 60 meters, which was good for third place. The time tied his personal best in the event. In the women's track events, the Buccaneers swept the podium in the 800 meters. Kim Simmons (Knoxville, Tenn.) led the way with her first place time of 2:14.55. "I'm really proud of Kim she has traveled a long road to get to where she is. She really has applied herself and committed to the sport and her accolades are well deserved." Simmons was followed by teammates Jennifer Habbestad (Tampa, Fla.) and Tiffany Collier (Atlanta, Ga.), who finished second and third with times of 2:18.23 and 2:20.01 respectively. Commented Byrne, "It is a great feeling to have our program come in and dominate in an event." In the 400 meters, junior Buccaneer Nichola Cornish (Spartanburg, S.C.) placed second with a time of 55.7. Junior Chantelle Vernon (Markham, Ontario) demonstrated her consistency with a first place finish and repeat of her record setting time of 7.54 from yesterday. On the meet in general Byrne stated, "As a coach you want to see your athlete's run their best at conference and ETSU's athletes were able to do just that." Men's Final Rankings 1.

All good things don't necessarily need to come to an end; sometimes they are just replaced by something even better.
Such is the case with the venerable C-130H Hercules model aircraft here.
The C-130 has been around since the Vietnam War, forming the backbone of the Air Force's tactical airlift fleet. It is especially well-suited to austere conditions like those found throughout Afghanistan.
The older C-130H models were recently replaced by the newer, more modern C-130J models. The newer model has the advantage of a longer fuselage offering two additional pallet positions for additional airlift capacity, an updated cockpit, more efficient engines and propellers, and other improvements.
"Inside, it's a whole new aircraft,î said Lt. Col. Greg Lowe, the commander of the 455th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. ìIn the cockpit, there are digital panels up front, so it takes a new breed of maintainers to fix all those new items."
Despite the fact that some of the aircraft are 40 years old, the older C-130H model has enjoyed an enviable run, with a 94 percent reliability rate flying out of Bagram. The C-130J model is expected to increase that number.
"The H models have performed fantastic here in the (area of responsibility), virtually every day flying six or seven legs around Afghanistan, with hardly a maintenance issue," Lowe said.
"The C-130H model here at Bagram has been truly outstanding,î added Col. Ben Spencer, the commander of the 455th Expeditionary Maintenance Group. ìThey are the oldest C-130 fleet here in the AOR, flying the highest utilization rate, yet they continually boast the highest mission capability rate in the AOR."
As the first aircraft prepared for its final departure from Bagram, maintainers and flight crew alike reminisced about their time here with the C-130H models.
"When my maintainers arrived here, I briefed them that they were writing history, one sortie at a time; that they were also closing a chapter of history in this war, closing a chapter on the C-130H model here in Afghanistan," Spencer said.
"This has kind of been a full circle for me,î said Capt. Matt Ward, a navigator on the first of the C-130H flights to depart Bagram for good. ìI came here for the first time on the day that we got Bin Laden. Now I'm shutting down an aircraft model in Afghanistan, and going back to a squadron that is closing. The two are fittingly happening together."
Ward's crew was one of the last to perform a combat airdrop in Afghanistan. Some of the crew members had nearly 300 combat sorties to their credit on this deployment.
Several of the aircraft from Bagram will be refurbished at depot level maintenance and sold back to the Afghan air force. Others will be transferred to the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve.
In a fitting handoff of duties, one of the first of the replacement C-130J models landed at Bagram moments before the first C-130H model took off. The in-flight C-130H passed its replacement as it taxied in to assume its position in the recently vacated parking space on the Bagram Airfield ramp.
"We hope that the J models will pick up the mantle and do as well as our H model brethren did," Spencer said.

Wesley Willis was a Chicago-based outsider artist and musician, who passed away in 2003. His artwork consisted primarily of ink drawings of Chicago landscapes and skylines. In 1989, Willis was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia This song is one of several about 'whupping' superheroes. Many of the songs he wrote featured obscene lyrics, including a large number of songs devoted to bestiality. His approach to songwriting was very systematic; typically, he sung over various Casio keyboard presets, composed of a few verses and an instrumental interlude, followed by a final verse and ending with some slogan (e.g. "Wheaties, Breakfast of Champions," etc.).
A documentary made back in 2003 by Daniel Bitton follows Willis around in his daily activities, and can be seen in its entirety here. In 1991, he formed the band the Wesley Willis Fiasco with Pat Barnard and Dale Meiners. The group also released a 7″ with Sublime in 1996.

AYSO Region 4
AYSO Philosophies
AYSO's Six Philosophies
AYSO's philosophies are living tenets that separate it from other sports organizations. They are Everyone Plays®, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship and Player Development.
Everyone Plays®
Our program's goal is for kids to play soccer so we mandate that every player on every team must play at least 75% of every game. Its no fun to spend the game on the bench and thats no way to learn soccer!
Balanced Teams
Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible because its more fun and a better learning experience when teams of similar ability play. It allows for each player to gain the experience of a wide variety of teammates of different skill levels.
Open Registration
Our program is open to all children between 4 and 19 years of age who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing. There are no elimination try-outs and nobody gets cut.
Positive Coaching
Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment for the players and leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players. A coach can be one of the most influential people in a childs life, so AYSO requires they create a positive experience for every boy and girl.
Good Sportsmanship
We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.
Player Development
We believe that all players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team, in order to maximize their enjoyment of the game.

overhead stick
It's just like welding in the flat don't over think the process. Keep tight arc length and a steady hand. If all else fails try standing on your head.
comfy is important, if possible keep it jus above eye level
I agree, Over head is just like flat, dont put much weave into it if any at all and the key is to stay tight like every one said.
If your testing make sure you have good protective gear so you dont jump from a stray spark and bust out.

overhead stick
If its a cwb test your allowed up to 15degrees off of horizontal so that helps. Have something to rest your arm/elbow on. Scrap. Vide grips maybe.

Having something to rest my arms on is the key for me.
On my structural CWB tests, I use 3 root passes for overhead instead of the regular 2 root passes I use for all other positions. I find keeping your beads smaller by running 3 passes instead of 2, helps keep it nice and clean. Larger beads get more difficult to control when welding overhead. I weld each side first standing on the other sides of the plate, then for the 3 pass down the center, I pull that straight towards me.
