- "Alecto, Amycus's sister, teaches Muggle Studies, which is compulsory for everyone. We've all got to listen to her explain how Muggles are like animals, stupid and dirty, and how they drive wizards into hiding by being vicious toward them, and how the natural order is being re-established."
- —Neville Longbottom on Alecto's teachings.[src]
Professor Alecto Carrow was a witch, sister of Amycus Carrow and is, thus, a Death Eater. Alecto fought in the First Wizarding War along with her brother. They did not search for Lord Voldemort after his first downfall, but were forgiven after Voldemort's return in 1995, and joined the Death Eater ranks in the Second Wizarding War. After the fall of the Ministry of Magic in 1997, she was made Muggle Studies professor, which became a course on how Muggles "are like animals, stupid and dirty". She was also appointed Deputy Headmistress, alongside her brother. She liked to punish and torture the students who opposed them. In the evening of 1 May, 1998, shortly before the Battle of Hogwarts, she was Stunned by Luna Lovegood when she summoned Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters. She was then magically tied up in Ravenclaw Tower by Professor McGonagall. After the battle, she was likely sent to Azkaban along with her brother.
Early life
Alecto Carrow was born sometime before 1981[1] into the pure-blood Carrow family somewhere in the British Isles. At some point before her instruction in the magical arts, she acquired a wand.[6]
Given that she seemed to have been acquainted with Albus Dumbledore,[4] it is possible she attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in her youth.
First Wizarding War
Alecto and her brother, Amycus, supported Lord Voldemort and became Death Eaters during the First Wizarding War. After Voldemort's downfall in 1981, they did not search for their master, believing that Voldemort was gone forever, and managed to avoid imprisonment in Azkaban.[1][9]
Despite all this, the Carrows were among those who, after Voldemort's return, resumed their Death Eater activities.[1] The two siblings were fairly active during the Second Wizarding War.[4][6] Like Bellatrix Lestrange, she admired Voldemort and detested blood traitors.
Second Wizarding War
Rebirth of the Dark Lord
Alecto and her brother were, most likely, among the Death Eaters that were summoned by Lord Voldemort to the churchyard at Little Hangleton on 24 June, 1995, as their absence wasn't noted by Voldemort himself.[10]
Battle of the Astronomy Tower
- Albus Dumbledore: "Good evening, Amycus. And you've brought Alecto too… charming…"
- Alecto Carrow: "Think your little jokes'll help you on your death bed, then?"
- Albus Dumbledore: "Jokes? No, no, these are manners."
- — Albus Dumbledore and Alecto Carrow moments before the former's death.[src]
In the evening of 30 June, 1997, Alecto and her brother participated in the assault on Hogwarts Castle, orchestrated by Draco Malfoy, that resulted in the death of Albus Dumbledore. When the Death Eaters arrived at the top of the Astronomy Tower, where Dumbledore was trapped, Alecto gave "wheezing giggles", as her brother made fun of the Headmaster. When Severus Snape arrived on the scene, he cast the curse that ended the Headmaster's life.[4]
On Snape's orders, she and her brother quickly left the Tower, panting excitedly. In the corridors below, Alecto and Amycus retreated after Snape with their arms over their heads, under attack from blasts by Minerva McGonagall. As the brother and sister descended the Marble Staircase, Harry took a shortcut and arrived in the grounds before them.[11]
As the two Death Eaters closed in after him, one of them cast a spell that sent Harry to the ground. Harry hit one of them, who stumbled and fell, tripping up the other, with another Impediment Jinx. The two siblings then ran to the gates, and Disapparated beyond the school boundaries.[11]
That summer, the Carrows attended a Death Eater meeting at Malfoy Manor concerning plans to capture or kill Harry Potter and take over the Ministry of Magic.[12]
Appointment at Hogwarts
- Neville Longbottom: "It's been… Well, it's not really like Hogwarts anymore. Do you know about the Carrows?"
- Harry Potter: "Those two Death Eaters who teach here?"
- Neville Longbottom: "They do more than teach. They're in charge of all discipline. They like punishment, the Carrows."
- Harry Potter: "Like Umbridge?"
- Neville Longbottom: "Nah, they make her look tame. The other teachers are all supposed to refer us to the Carrows if we do anything wrong. They don't, though, if they can avoid it. You can tell they all hate them as much as we do. […] I got this one for asking [Alecto] how much Muggle blood she and her brother have got."
- — Neville Longbottom tells Harry Potter about the Carrows, and his own recently acquired scars.[src]
On 1 August, 1997, the Death Eaters managed to stage a coup within the Ministry of Magic, thus gaining influence over all of wizarding Britain.[13] A month later, on 1 September, Amycus and Alecto were made Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher and Muggle Studies teacher, respectively,[3] as well as Deputy Headmasters under newly appointed Headmaster Severus Snape.[8]
The Muggle Studies classes were made compulsory core classes. The curriculum was changed so that it now covered the Ministry of Magic's anti-Muggle propaganda; that Muggles were stupid and dirty, how they threatened the Wizarding world and how the "natural order" was being reestablished,[14] instead of covering aspects of Muggle culture and science.[15]
As Deputy Heads, the Carrows were put in charge of all punishment. The members of faculty were obliged to report any rule-breaking student to them, although they didn't if they could avoid it. Punishments given out by the Carrows included torture, via the Cruciatus Curse, as well as chaining students, and corporal punishment in the form of beatings and slashes with knives.[14]
Dumbledore's Army, led by Neville Longbottom, spearheaded the resistance against the Carrows. Alecto made a slash on his face after he asked her how much Muggle blood she and her brother had. The group, now made illicit after the reenactment of the Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four, used to sneak into the corridors at night and put up graffiti on the walls with messages like "Dumbledore's Army, Still Recruiting". Michael Corner was caught releasing a first year the Carrows had chained up, and was violently tortured.[14]
Once the Carrows realised they had no hold over Neville, they planned to kill him or send him to Azkaban. As the Carrows chased him, Neville chose the Room of Requirement as a hideout, and the rest of Dumbledore's Army soon followed in his footsteps, and moved into the room as the Carrows tried to hunt them all down.[14]
- Harry Potter: "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."
- Alecto Carrow: "Which makes you pretty skint, witless."
- — Alecto catches Harry Potter and Luna Lovegood in Ravenclaw Tower.[src]
By the evening of 1 May, 1998, news of Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger's break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank reached the student body; Terry Boot was beaten up by the Carrows for yelling about it in the Great Hall over dinner.[14]
That same day, as Lord Voldemort became aware that Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger were hunting down and destroying his Horcruxes, he instructed Amycus and Alecto that Harry might try to get into the Castle and Ravenclaw Tower. At the Carrows' urgent request Professor Flitwick, Head of Ravenclaw House, let Alecto into the common room, where she stood guard and was tied up.[6]
Alecto was keeping watch when Harry arrived with Luna Lovegood. She immediately touched her Dark Mark, letting Voldemort and all the Death Eaters know that they had got him. Alecto was immediately stunned by Luna, but Amycus demanded Minerva McGonagall to let him into the Tower. Once inside, he saw his unconscious sister but no sign of Harry, as both he and Luna were hidden beneath Harry's Invisibility Cloak. Aware that they were going to feel Voldemort's wrath if they did not hand him Harry, Amycus planned to pass it off on the students, and when Professor McGonagall objected calling Amycus and Alecto cowards in the process, he spat in her face. This caused Harry to use the Cruciatus Curse on him, which knocked him out. Minerva McGonagall used a spell to conjure a net, and the two siblings were tied up and hoisted into the air, where they were left dangling beneath the ceiling.[6]
Neither Alecto nor her brother fought in the Battle of Hogwarts as both of them were kept tied-up at Ravenclaw Tower. It is likely that after the battle and the end of the Second Wizarding War they both were imprisoned in Azkaban for their crimes under Kingsley Shacklebolt's de-corrupted Ministry of Magic.
Physical appearance
Alecto Carrow was a stocky little woman like the Weasley twins, with a wheezy giggle, much like her brother.[4] Sloping-shouldered, she had stubby fingers and, as a Death Eater, she was branded with the Dark Mark on her forearm.[6]
Personality and traits
Alecto was a sadistic woman who enjoyed punishing and torturing students, and did not hesitate to make a deep slash on Neville Longbottom's face when he insulted her.[14] Alecto had strong pro-wizard beliefs, as she taught that Muggles were filthy, like animals.[14] Apparently she was not very bright, as she needed Filius Flitwick to let her into Ravenclaw Tower. She was however somewhat more intelligent than her brother Amycus.[6] Alecto also seemed to enjoy making fun of others, as she giggled at Albus Dumbledore during his last moments[4] and called Harry Potter "witless" when he and Luna Lovegood fell for Lord Voldemort's trap.[6] This also demonstrates her arrogance, since if she had stood quietly at Ravenclaw Tower, she could have Stunned an oblivious Harry and summoned Voldemort, thus preventing the Battle of Hogwarts and making the Death Eaters win the Second Wizarding War.
Magical abilities and Skills
"They're in charge of all discipline. They like punishment, the Carrows."
-Neville Longbottom, on the Carrow's love for punishing students.
Alecto Carrow was a Death Eater, making her a naturally skilled witch, particularly in the dark arts. Alongside her brother, Amycus, the Carrows have gained a nasty reputation within the wizarding world, particularly during their stint as joint Deputy Headteachers at Hogwarts, as they severely punished students for any rule-breaking within the school.
Dark Arts: Being a Death Eater, Alecto was a natural when it came to the dark arts. She showed particular skill in utilizing the Cruciatus Curse, as she used it as a common form of punishment during her time as a teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It can be assumed that Alecto was efficient in using the other Unforgivable Curses as well, although this is not certain as she is not shown to use either the Imperius Curse or the Killing Curse during any of the battles she participated in. It can also be assumed that Alecto was able to summon the Dark Mark , having it branded on her forearm like most Death Eaters. She used this same mark to summon Lord Voldemort when she found Harry Potter in the Ravenclaw Common Room.
Dueling: Alecto must have been a somewhat skilled duelist as she was an active participant in both the first and second wizarding wars and survived them both. She participated in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower; however, she was no match for the extremely powerful Minerva McGonagall, as she was forced to retreat with her arms over her head. She also wasn't quick enough to block Luna Lovegood's Stunning Spell upon discovering her and Harry Potter in the Ravencalw Common Room (although it should be noted she was attempting to summon Voldemort at the time and her focus seemed to be solely on Harry Potter).
Teaching Skills: Alecto was a Professor at Hogwarts, where she taught Muggle Studies. Her teachings conformed to the ministry propaganda that Muggles are filthy, stupid and like animals that have violently forced wizards and witches into hiding and that the natural order of things was being restored with wizards having supreme dominance over all muggles. Most of the students likely ignored her anti-Muggle teachings and some such as Neville Longbottom verbally opposed them, however these students would find themselves being severely punished if they did.
- The name, "Alecto", means "unceasing in anger". "Alecto" is known to have been derived from the earlier male name; "Alektos".
- In Greek mythology, Alecto was one of the Erinyes, also known as the Furies; they were the personifications of vengeance and pangs of conscience, and are known for being cruel and bloodthirsty towards wrongdoers.
- In English, the word, "Carrow," can refer to two places. "Carrow" in Norfolk, or "Carraw" in Northumberland. The first is assumed to have its name derived from the Old English word "carr", meaning "rock", and a word of Celtic origin; "hoh", meaning "spur of a hill". While the second appears to have been named either after the plural of the Old English word "carr", or after a mixture of a form of "carr", and another Old English word; "raw", meaning "row".
- It is also possible that the surname was originally a shortened version of the Cornish surname, "Nancarrow".
Behind the scenes
- Alecto is portrayed by Suzie Toase in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and the first and second part of the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.[16]
- Actress Vanessa Stevenson doubled Suzanne Toase in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
- "Carrow" is a harsh-sounding name and is reflective of "marrow", within the bone, possibly hinting at their bloodlust. It seems to have the same effect as "Voldemort," a fear-mongering cold sound.
- Alecto's role in the films is diminished to a background one, with no speaking lines. In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince she takes no active part during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower; she merely witnesses Dumbledore's death without a word and flees with the Death Eaters. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, she only appears during the Meeting at Malfoy Manor, one of the first scenes in the film. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Alecto and Amycus are stunned during McGonagall and Snape's duel. Snape deflects two of McGonagall's curses at the Carrows, knocking them unconscious. Although, its almost certain that Snape intended for this to happen whilst making it look like an accident.
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (video game), she appears to be one of the enemies Harry has to fight. Suzie Toase also did the voice of the character for this game.
- A girl bearing a strong resemblance to Alecto was shown in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to have been a member of the Slug Club during Horace Slughorn's first tenure as Potions teacher.[17]
- David Yates mistakenly called the Carrow siblings "the Carrow Twins",[18] even though they were not.

- Pictures468945
- Customer Support24/7
Aurora Jolie must be a sloppy eater. How can I tell? Because she has a wet mouth that leaves a trail of spit and semen wherever she goes. The way she eats dick is as sloppy as it comes. Girls, take notes-this is what an \\'oral fixation\\' looks like. She licks the shaft, sucks the head, and drools on the BALLS! If her tongue could have reached his \\'taint\\', I have no doubt she would have licked his asshole too. At only 19 years old, Aurora does things that most girls haven\'t even fucking thought of yet. Her mind blowing blowjob technique prompts the cameraman to stop and ask \\'how old are you again?\\' Like the rings on a tree trunk, usually you can tell a girl\'s age by how far she can deep-throat, but Aurora can swallow an entire forest of cock. She goes right for the deep throat seconds in and doesn\'t stop until she\'s gagged herself and taken a glob of man juice on her juicy lips. Don\'t you just love a 19 year old who sucks cock like a 30 year old?
Choking on all cummers!

Arizona law provides that a license plate is assigned to the vehicle owner, instead of the vehicle.
Most vehicles may be registered for either one or two years at a time. (Some vehicles must be emission tested every year, and are therefore not eligible for two-year registration.) Permanent registration will be issued for some trailers and all-terrain and off-road recreational vehicles.
All-terrain and off-road recreational vehicles that operate only on dirt roads located in unincorporated areas of Arizona must be titled and have a plate, but are exempt from registration and insurance requirements.
In addition to other fees, vehicle owners in Arizona pay a Vehicle License Tax (VLT), assessed in place of a personal property tax charged by some other states. Revenues from the Vehicle License Tax are distributed as follows: State Highways 22.72 percent, County Roads 14.38 percent, City Roads 13.72 percent, County General Fund 24.59 percent and City/Town General Fund 24.59 percent.

For each additional month past the due date, add $4 more.
If your vehicle fails the initial or any subsequent emissions test you will not be charged a penalty fee for late registration renewal if the original test was before the registration expiration date and the registration renewal is postmarked (or Internet or phone renewal is completed) within 30 days of the original test.

I think it may be more to do with the Amp than the adapter as I can play my IPOD with my TV sound system using a similar [same?] adapter. Pros: Easy to connect, cable is long enough to have the unit sit separately from the amp it is connected to. Cons: kind of expensive for a couple of connectors, a cable and plastic. I suspect most of the cost is in the special connector used at the end of the cable. No reason it could not have been designed with Rj45 or similar and cut the price way down. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The YDS12 works good and sounds great, but it says it will work with i-pod and i-phone and it comes 3 inserts for the i-pod but I can not find a insert for the i-phone so the only thing that holds the i-phone in the dock is the plug.

Yes No YDS-12 dock NICE! Written By Jim W, Middletown, De on Monday, November 07, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Dealing with Crutchfield is always a satisfying experience, I've bought several items through them in the past and i've always got the correct items quickly. When you e-mail them about a product they are quick to reply. Stuff comes packed very well protecting items in shipment. Pros: I bought this dock to replace the YDS-10 that came with my RX-V2700 receiver. The new dock not only allowes the music to play but sends video and pictures from my wifes iphone 4s and my ipod touch 3rd gen to the tv, yds-10 was not capable Cons: The only thing that is not only limited to yamahas dock is that when using the apple products with the docks is that you can potentially damage the connectors by removing the plastic adapter for fitment. ex my wifes iphone wont fit dock when ipod touch plastic adapter is installed. i had to replace my touch because the connector got damaged...my fault just wish there was a back support to limit the wiggle that could damage the connector. 11 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No A must have if you own an iPod and Yamaha Receiver Written By David Yu, Oklahoma City, OK on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 The Yamaha YDS-12 is absolutely amazing. Its better than any dock (which are discontinued) or component/composite cable offered by Apple. The YDS-12 plays music and videos, but does not show pictures. The album art is shown when playing music. YDS allows you to control your ipod with your factory remote and the OSD is similar to what you see on your ipod. Which all Apple products do not offer! The YDS will also allow your Yamaha receiver to up-convert your video via hdmi (if your unit supports it). its not quite HD quality but better than anything that apple offers at the moment. To my understanding, Apple has no plans to make an official hdmi cable that supports preexisting ipods, itouch/phone or iPads for at least 5 more years or just saving this feature for the Newer, Better and Faster..... ipod/phone/pad 25th Gen! haha!! This will allow you to view you media through an hdmi, but DOES NOT offer (Video)True HD or (Audio)Dolby True HD or DTS-MA. If you don't want to wait or want to try it out, you can actually get this at your local Best Buy (if in stock/$99), and if you decide you like the YDS-12, return it to Best Buy and order it from Crutchfield, so you can get your reward points !! ;) The Yamaha YDS-12 will complement your Yamaha receiver quite nicely!

Contrasts, an Introduction
by Christopher Cerrone
The music of Mozart, endlessly imaginative and foundational in the Western art canon, plays a prominent role in this series of three concerts which 92nd Street Y has appropriately named Contrasts. The series showcases a musically rich and diverse array of composers with Mozart as the palliative to the other more piquant musical flavors; these other flavors are the music of Bela Bartók, Olivier Messiaen, and the German composer Jörg Widmann. The joy of Mozart's musical world is that it can easily tease out connections between these other musics. For example, Mozart was obsessed with the clarinet, which is featured throughout the Contrasts series. In addition to the "Kegelstatt" Trio for Clarinet, Viola and Piano heard on April 18, he composed his clarinet concerto, a clarinet quintet, and prominently featured the clarinet the "Gran Partita" Serenade and the Requiem. He even wrote a piece for five clarinets alone!
The clarinet features prominently in the Bartók, Widmann and Messiaen pieces in the series. In Bartók's Contrasts (originally written for Benny Goodman) on April 16, the clarinet plays a demanding and soloistic role. Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps (Quartet for the End of Time) on April 20, features a 9-minute-long solo clarinet movement, entitled "Abîme des oiseaux" ("Abyss of the Birds"). And Widmann is a world class clarinetist whose works often feature highly idiomatic and virtuosic clarinet writing. In Widmann's works he often explores the fantastic technical resources of the instrument: the ability to play fast runs, enormous dynamic range from nearly inaudible to loud and strident, and a chameleon-like quality which allows the instrument to blend with any other instrument, as Widmann does to such powerful effect in his Nachtstück for Clarinet, Cello and Piano on April 18.
In between these works are duos by Mozart and Widmann which are chamber music in the truest sense of the word. Mozart's works for piano four-hands, which will be heard on April 16 and 18, were often performed in small salons among music lovers, doubtlessly with the composer at piano. Widmann's 24 Duos for Violin and Cello, likewise heard on April 16 and 18, have a similar quality; despite their sometimes (in his words) "brittle" exterior, the works often also display the quality of a conversation among old friends, sometimes amiable, sometimes argumentative, but always intimate.

WIDMANN: 24 Duos for Violin and Cello, Book I
Born Munich, June 19, 1973
24 Duos for Violin and Cello, Book I
Composed in 2008; 18 minutes
Jörg Widmann's best known music is that which features a deep exploration of his instrument, the clarinet. But in the 24 Duos for Violin and Cello, we are privy to another aspect of his compositional world: his careful and detailed writing for strings. In the same way Widmann mines the clarinet's ample timbral resources in his composition, he asks the string players to perform in a wide variety of ways in his Duos. Not only are they asked to dig, scrape, pluck and play with unusual mutes, the players are also asked to play lyrically and traditionally. In this sense, Widmann is a truly postmodern composer: he embraces the widest possible sound world, but also acknowledges the sounds, forms and references of the past. In his music, any sound is possible, including familiar ones.
Each of the 13 short duos heard on this program are a character study. The first duo is a play in contrasts: sharp and sudden gestures are juxtaposed against almost inaudible ones. The second duo is Bartók-like, with a heavy and rhythmic character. The third, too, recalls Bartók, but this time it is his night music: the sounds are muted, quiet, modal and expressive. The fourth duo is reminiscent of Baroque music in its careful use of imitation, but the sharp and dissonant intervals call out "new music!" The fifth duo is soft-spoken and aphoristic, reminiscent of Webern. The sixth is even shorter, but memorable for its violent and jarring sounds. The seventh flows like a single instrument, the two voices almost—but not exactly—in unison. The eighth duo is a play of timbres: the instrumentalists play near their bridges, on their bridges and on the "wrong" side of their bridges, too.
In the ninth and tenth duos, earlier themes begin to return, while the eleventh is the most extreme in its use of unusual playing techniques. The brief twelfth movement is followed by the final duo, the thirteenth, which is played with metal practice mutes. This renders the instruments distant and nearly inaudible. Perhaps the composer—who wrote the works in Dubai, far from his homeland—is recalling memories that were then distant in his past.

MOZART: Sonata for Piano Four Hands in F major, K. 497
Born Salzburg, January 27, 1756; died Vienna, December 5, 1791
Sonata for Piano Four Hands in F major, K. 497
Composed in 1786; 28 minutes
Mozart's four-hand sonatas were written to be performed by professional and amateur keyboard players alike. They can easily be played at home among friends, and yet also—unlike so much other casual chamber music of the time—the care and craft put into these compositions makes them compelling concert works. In the F-major Sonata, the elaborate themes, innovative use of sonata-form and ornate counterpoint distinguish it from contemporaneous works.
The first movement is structured like a cavatina and cabaletta, an operatic form where a slow and lyrical introduction is followed by a fast and ornate movement. And so the sonata begins; after a long and lyric opening pregnant with dramatic pauses, the first movement flies forward. The central development section is filled with almost Bachian counterpoint, where Mozart fully utilizes all four hands in full force. The first movement is also notable for its sharp and sudden contrasts between loud and quiet (shades of Widmann); a contemporary listener should note that this must have been a shockingly new kind of sound on the only recently invented fortepiano.
The second movement is a long and serene Andante. Unlike many other works of the time, the second movement is also cast in a sonata form, where the two themes presented at the beginning are then set in careful and elegant counterpoint in a central section before returning to a recapitulation of the opening themes. This kind of elaborate treatment of a slow movement is a new innovation in Mozart's work; before this, slow movements were often merely short transition pieces. Mozart's sonata foreshadows the complexity of Beethoven and other romantic composers who would embrace slow movements as the most expressive part of their works. The final movement of the sonata is a jaunty Allegretto in rondo form. The movement features ample opportunity for the two pianists to display every aspect of their keyboard playing skills, including long and fast runs and careful and precise staccato rhythms.

MOZART: Piano Trio in E major, K. 542
Piano Trio in E major, K. 542
Composed in 1788; 20 minutes
Mozart's Piano Trio in E major was composed just two years after the F-major Four-Hand Sonata. Like the F-major Sonata, it was written for amateur players. Also like the Sonata, the careful composition and working out of individual parts for each musician shows that Mozart was not just composing gebrauchsmusik ("music for use") but rather, music that could be heard at either at home or in concert.
The Trio is also a major piece in the development of the piano trio as a genre. The music critic Richard Freed has noted that "[w]hile so many piano trios of this period seem to be little more than solo pieces for the piano with occasional embellishment by the violin and cello, Mozart gave the string instruments more substantial material and more equal footing with the piano part [...] thereby producing a rarity in its time: a piano trio with more or less equal prominence for the strings." In the opening movement of the Trio, we hear this immediately. After a brief introduction mostly for piano alone, the violin introduces the first theme. The cello then enters, playing a lyrical counterpoint to the melody. Finally, all three are brought together as full and equal voices.
The second movement continues the same idea; the piano enters alone, but is soon joined by its two partners. In this movement, Mozart's careful writing for the string instruments is revealing; we often hear a theme begun on the violin and completed with the cello. By composing in this careful way, Mozart helps us hear the carefully wrought structure of his movement. A spirited Allegro, replete with concertante parts for each of the three instruments closes the Trio.

BARTÓK: Contrasts for Violin, Clarinet and Piano
Born Nagyszentmiklós, Hungary, March 25, 1881; died New York, September 26, 1945
Contrasts for Violin, Clarinet and Piano
Composed in 1938; 17 minutes
Contrasts was originally written for the unlikely and illustrious combination of the great jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman, famed Hungarian violinist Joseph Szigeti, and Bartók himself at piano. Contrasts is characteristic of the compositions that Bartók was writing at the time. It synthesizes his experimentation with avant-garde dissonance and his work researching the folk music of his native Hungary.
Bartók exploits both in the first movement, entitled "Verbunkos," which is a Hungarian military dance. The movement begins with pizzicato in the violin set against a modal clarinet melody. The syncopated rhythm of the clarinet, with the emphasis of the beat is characteristic of Hungarian folk music. As the music proceeds, Bartók superimposes music from different keys. Each layer is very simple, but together, it creates unique but not astringent dissonances. The movement ends with a cadenza that allows the clarinetist the opportunity to show off the high and brilliant runs characteristic of Goodman's jazz performances.
The next movement, "Piheno" (Relaxation), is night music. It recalls the sounds of insects at night with the high register in the violin, while the piano blows in and out like an unwelcome gust of wind. The music floats without a sense of pulse, and when the piano finally enters playing on the beat, the sound is ephemeral and scarcely audible. The movement becomes briefly animated with a tremolo in the violin and trills in the clarinet, but quickly subdues back into its quiet state.
The final movement—"Sebes," or Fast Dance—requires a detuned violin, where the violinist plays a slightly demonic part on open strings (a reference, no doubt, to Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre). After an animated beginning in Bulgarian dance rhythms, the music falls to a hush where the clarinet plays a noble melody against a high pulsing piano. The violin joins in as the music builds back to a boisterous finale (with not a few more "Benny Goodman" notes).

Lanz of Salzburg Winter Scene Flannel Nightgown
Our Winter Scene Flannel Nightgown Will Warm You, Body and Soul
Lanz of Salzburg Winter Scene Flannel Nightgown
Our Winter Scene Flannel Nightgown Will Warm You, Body and Soul
Lanz of Salzburg Winter Scene Flannel Nightgown 7 7
Fun, Retro Print. And Comfortable, Too! I own four Lanz of Salzburg nightgowns. The flannel in these nighties gets softer and softer as they are worn and washed. I have purchased this brand for many, many years and will continue to buy and wear these gowns as long as Lanz keeps making them. They are worth the money, as they do last for years, even with constant use. The print on this gown is a fun, retro winter print. The cut of the gown is roomy and comfortable. December 8, 2012
Looking for Flannel Nightgowns I found these in your catalog for my mom. She is 77 years old and just loves flannel. Flannnel is very hard to find these days "anywhere". The quality is extremely superior and the prints are great. We live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan so we need warm jammies. The winters are something else! Thank you so much for providing us with the jammies we have been looking for. September 4, 2013
Best Nightgowns in the World! I have never been so thrilled with the quality of Lanz sleepwear. The flannel is so soft and a nice weight that makes it very warm, yet breathable. I am so impressed with these nightgowns that I bought 5 (or more) of them, in all different colors and prints. Thank you Vermont Country Store for carrying such great quality merchandise. I will be watching for other great items in the future! February 21, 2013
Another beautiful flannel gown I received this gown last week, ordering it when it was on sale. It is just as beautiful as the other one I ordered(with the kittens and ribbons), and feels just as soft. The vintage winter scene is what made me decide to order it, and as before, the picture does not do it justice. Keep those beautiful and playful prints in stock! February 12, 2013
Not up to the usual Lanz of Salzburg quality I love Lanz of Salzburg nightgowns, but this one definitely missed the quality control measures at both the factory and at the Vermont Country Store. There was a random piece of material sewn into a seam on the front, that was clearly visible even before removing the nightgown from its packaging. I thought "no big deal - who's going to see my nightgown." However, I've worn the nightgown only 3 nights and already the trim on the right wrist is unraveling. If I hadn't had numerous other positive experiences with Lanz nightgowns, I'd likely not purchase another. February 3, 2013
Just What I Wanted Well-made and should last through many washings. Feels like it will get even better with age. January 11, 2013
cozy This is a lovely piece of Lanz nostalgia. A cozy, warm , gown, perfect for those chilly winter nights. December 17, 2012

Kathryn W. Davis Residence Village
The Kathryn W. Davis Village, is the college's newest and "greenest" housing complex. The houses in the village are heated by our biomass pellet boiler system and are incredibly energy efficient. While individual houses have their own community, residents of the village have the advantage of being part of the larger communities of Seafox and Deering Common (the new campus center). All six houses have a living room, kitchen, and dining area on the ground floor, replete with vibrant color schemes and comfy furniture. Upstairs, two floors house eight residents in large student rooms with communal bathrooms boasting composting toilets. Every two houses share an RA and are joined by additional social space open to the community. Millard House and Dority House are joined by the Cushman Media Center; Eno House and Hamill House by the Eliot (all-night) Study Space; and Miliken House and Shorey House by the Robinson Games Room which has both a pool table and the laundry facilities for the village. The Kathryn W. Davis Village has been historically designated as substance-free.
For more information on the story and sustainable efforts behind Kathryn W. Davis Village please download this PDF (1.1 MB).

Communication in Small Groups and Teams Course Raises $9,300 for Local CharitiesPosted Jan, 2, 2013
Twenty-seven students in four small groups raised more than $9,300 in funds and canned goods for local charities in the fall semester as part of the Communication in Small Groups and Teams course taught by Rebecca Cline, Ph.D., professor in the School of Communication Studies at Kent State University.
Students designed projects to help people in poverty, people with cancer and their families, and the homeless. Each project benefitted a specific local population through donations to the Campus Kitchen on the Kent State University Campus, the Phyllis Zumkehr County Clothing Center in Ravenna, Stewart's Caring Place in Fairlawn and the ACCESS shelter for homeless women and children in Summit County.
Each of the four groups implemented an event or initiative. Class members held a bowling evening, led a Zumba instruction event, spearheaded a competitive canned food drive in Cardinal Local Schools and sold Project Poverty wristbands along with hosting a special donation night at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. The projects included support from numerous local businesses including Kent Lanes, Georgio's Pizza, Dick's Sporting Goods, The LeBron James Family Foundation, the Akron Zoo, Playhouse Square, Lia Sophia and many more
ACCESS is dedicated to addressing the plight of homeless women and children in our community. The agency encourages women to develop self-esteem and self-sufficiency through its programs. The Phyllis Zumkehr County Clothing Center provides free, gently used clothing and household items to residents in need. Stewart's Caring Place services cancer sufferers and their families in Summit, Medina, Stark, Portage and Wayne counties.
The Campus Kitchen Project (CKP) is a national organization that that provides meals to those in need, using student volunteers to prepare meals within their own communities. The CKP at Kent State is the first in Ohio. Student volunteers prepare meals for Kent Social Services, the Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland, the Freedom House and several other local partners.
Upon completing their projects, students analyzed their own communication successes and failures as they faced groupthink, the illusion of vulnerability and identifying roles.
Cline celebrated the accomplishments of her students in their final class, reminding them that they have "learned that they can do real things – amazing things."
"We were very overwhelmed, but stuck together as a group. We're proud of ourselves and proud that we've helped people out," said Taylor McLaughlin, a sophomore communication studies major.

1 teaspoon
2 teaspoons

1 3/4 cups
white sugar
1 cup
vegetable oil
1 teaspoon

2 cups

1 cup

Understand that my baking skills are extremely limited. On the other hand, after having a piece of this carrot cake, nobody can tell! I did read these reviews closely, at least until the general techniques that make this good recipe even better began to become apparent. I added 1/2 teaspoon each of nutmeg and allspice to the dry ingredients, substituted 1/2 cup of apple sauce for 1/2 cup of the oil, and added 1 cup of golden raisins to the batter. I also doubled the frosting, and had plenty to frost the cake plus a little left over. Then, since I'm baking at an altitude of 8,000-feet, I increased the flour to 2-1/4 cups, decreased the baking powder to 1-1/2 teaspoons, decreased the sugar to 1-1/2 cups, increased the baking temperature to 375F and decreased the cooking time to 40 minutes. I made 2-9" rounds (parchment/grease/floured, of course) and they came out perfectly. Guess I better start a cake section in my home recipe book, because this one will be made a few times a year! Thanks, Linda! And thanks to all those real bakers who take the time and effort to make such great suggestions for us neophytes!
I modified this recipe by substituting 1/2 cp. of oil for 1/2 cp. lowfat buttermilk. I also added an extra teaspoon of baking powder. The results were just as tasty.

This cake is absolutely delicious and the best carrot cake recipe I have ever tried. The icing really makes it. Tip - make sure you stir in the ingredients by hand as suggested. Do not use an electric mixer or the cake will really sink (I learned the hard way). This cake is also great as a bundt cake - make sure you grease the pan thoroughly.
A definite "keeper" - moist, delicious and not too sweet. I substituted applesauce for half of the oil and added yellow raisins. The cake, and frosting, were perfect.
I tried this recipe but substituted half the oil with low-fat buttermilk, added another cup of shredded carrots, and doubled the cream cheese frosting. It didn't sink (mixed with wooden spoon) and the cake received rave reviews. Hubby gets his carrot cake fix often at boutiques and bakeries but swears this is the best. Next time I will delete the coconut and switch the eggs with egg substitute. Might even try non-fat cream cheese. This is the best carrot cake I have tried.
Wonderful recipe! I didn't have coconut so I omitted that and I wanted to cut down on the oil--so I substituted 2/3 cup applesauce and used only 1/3 cup oil. It turned out great! Next time I make it, I'd like to use an egg substitute for 2 of the 3 whole eggs to lower the fat even more and reduce the cholesterol. Will definitely make this cake again!
Delicious and SO MOIST! I made it for a birthday, so I decided to bake 2 8" layers. It was so moist that it cracked while I was icing it. I would definetly make it in the suggested 9x13 pan next time. So, so tasty!
this is the best carrot cake recipie/cake i have ever tasted,what ever negative ratings you might see can only mean the cake was not done right.love it thank you Linda!!!!!!!!

Cameraman: The Life and Work of Jack Cardiff
Jack Cardiff was lauded by the Hollywood greats he photographed films for -- John Huston, Sophia Loren, Alfred Hitchcock, Marilyn Monroe -- and described by Michael Powell as "A genius, a daydreamer, a baby. He should have been a painter instead of being the best colour cameraman in the world." Yet he has remained largely unknown to the general public until now. "Cameraman" celebrates the life and work of this unique figure in British and international cinema, a man whose career spans an incredible nine decades of cinema history. "Legend" is a word all too frequently used in Hollywood, yet Jack Cardiff's story surely proves him worthy of that title.

Tennessee wide receiver Pig Howard (2) dives for yardage in the third quarter against Georgia on Saturday in Knoxville (AP Photo)
KNOXVILLE — The Tennessee football team heads into its bye week realizing that it finally has discovered some playmakers.
After struggling to establish any kind of rhythm on offense in its first two losses, Tennessee found some answers Saturday in a 34-31 overtime loss to Georgia, which dropped a spot to No. 7 in the Top 25 on Sunday.
Rajion Neal followed up his 169-yard performance against South Alabama by rushing for 148 yards and two touchdowns. Marquez North made a diving touchdown catch to spark Tennessee's rally from a 14-point halftime deficit. And although his overtime fumble proved critical, Alton "Pig" Howard had four catches for 70 yards and six carries for 46 yards.
"It hurts to lose, but you kind of have to look at the positives sometimes," Tennessee quarterback Justin Worley said.
Worley was one those positives.
The junior quarterback lost his starting job earlier in the season and had thrown a combined five interceptions in the two games leading up to this one. Worley bounced back Saturday by going 17-of-31 for 215 yards with one touchdown pass and no interceptions.
"I have to give him credit," Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. "How old is he? Twenty-one? How many 21-year-olds could go through the last couple weeks (what) he's gone through."
Worley got help from his young receiving corps.
North, a 6-foot-4 freshman, showed his enormous potential with a highlight-worthy touchdown catch in which he dived toward the left sideline while managing to keep a foot inbounds. Josh Smith, another freshman, had a 26-yard catch on a third-and-10 play to continue a fourth-quarter touchdown drive.
Howard, a sophomore, had a career-long 33-yard catch to set up North's touchdown, though his overtime fumble overshadowed what he'd done earlier in the day.
Jones' growing confidence in his offense was evident in his play-calling strategy. Tennessee (3-3, 0-2 Southeastern Conference) was 3-of-3 on fourth-down conversions in the fourth quarter.
On fourth-and-1 from its own 34, Tennessee pitched left to Neal, who raced 43 yards down the sideline to set up his own 1-yard touchdown. When Tennessee faced fourth-and-1 again on its next series, Neal ran 1 yard for the first down. Later in that same drive, Worley threw a 28-yard pass to freshman tight end A.J. Branisel on fourth-and-1 from the Georgia 35, setting up Neal's 7-yard touchdown run.
"We respect him for throwing the cards on the table and taking those chances," Worley said.

Whether you read deeply into the mystical meanings behind certain gems (guilty astrology nerd present!) or choose your baubles based on looks alone, the opal is definitely not one to be left out of your jewelry repertoire. Its moonstone-like facade results from a unique internal structure that diffracts light and allows the stone to take on many hues at once. So, it's easy to match to any ensemble. And, the opal carries symbolic meanings that hark back to ancient times — it has long been considered a talisman of loyalty and faithfulness, a repeller of evil, and a protector of eyesight.
The superstition-shrouded opal may be October's birthstone, but we're certainly not going to let that deter us from shopping it — no matter our birthday. Ahead, scope out 15 studs, rings, necklaces, and bracelets sure to add some glimmer (and, perhaps, a bit of good fortune) to your wardrobe.

Czech Republic
Fast facts
Language: Czech
Currency: Czech Koruna (CZK)
Population: 10,190,213
Size: 30,450 square miles (78,867 square kilometers) - slightly smaller than South Carolina
Border countries: Germany, Poland, Slovakia, and Austria
National tourist office: www.czechtourism.com
At a glance
The Czech Republic has more than 2,000 castles and chateaus, the largest concentration per square mile in Europe. Towering above the capital city sits the iconic Prague Castle, the largest castle in the world built 1,000 years ago. Apart from the capital are the towns of Cesky Krumlov, the best-preserved medieval town in central Europe, and Cesky Budejovice, home to the famous Budweiser Budvar beer dating to 1265. Brno's skyline is dominated by Spilberk Castle, a royal castle from the 13th century, while Central Bohemia's Karlstejn Castle from 1348 in Central Bohemia is one of the most remarkable Czech castles. Surrounded by peaceful scenery and lively cities, the castles of the Czech Republic provide a window into the country's past.
Why cyclists love it
The diverse scenery of the Czech Republic is the perfect setting for a bike tour. Today, the country has hundreds of well-marked bike routes through the countryside and cities thanks in part to the Communist ideal that "all villages should be connected." A third-class road system built during the Communist era has since been replaced by modern highways and now offers an extensive network of paved, low-traffic roads ideal for cycling. A highlight for bikers is the Czech Greenways, a network of trails running from the Austrian border to Prague.

Food Sensory Bins
Today it was so nice that we took this activity outside. I set out bowls with dried pasta, sugar, and cereal along with some spoons, whisks, and measuring cups.
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. I didn't know if it was going to be too long for my preschoolers. It was for Lainey, but Drew loved looking at the pictures and he asked a LOT of questions. It's about the town of Chewandswallow, where the residents get their food from the sky. It rains orange juice and has clouds of sunny-side up eggs. This is great until their weather gets wacky. Soon giant pancakes and sandwiches are falling from the sky and the food is falling faster than the sanitation department can clean it up. Eventually everyone has to move to a new town, but they use their giant bread to build new homes for themselves. It's a cute and silly book. We haven't seen the movie version yet. Is it as good as the book?

Love this post! It's linky party time again on my blog! I hope you can join! Here is the link! Your friends are welcome too! http://www.thesouthernproductqueen.com/one-stop-shoppe-linky-party-2ReplyDelete
I make sensory bins for upper grade students but have never thought of making them with pasta. Very creative! I also try to think "out the box" as an educator. My recent posts include 3D worksheets and math centers that can be made from empty CD cases.ReplyDelete
I just cleaned out the pantry yesterday and left out some rice and pasta "scraps" that I plan to make into a sensory bin! I remember when my oldest was about a year old and I gave her a box of spaghetti while I was cooking... it ended up being her favorite toy for a LONG time!ReplyDelete
The movie "Cloudy with a Chance..." is cute. It's very different from the book (I had a hard time imagining how they would turn it into a movie...) It's much more futuristic-
outside is a GREAT idea! My kids always helped me in the kitchen..by the time they all (8!) went to kindergarden they could read recipies and do measurments! cooking is a wonderful learning tool!ReplyDelete
I am your newest follower..pls follow back if you can!
What a super fantastic idea!!! Would you please share this with our readers for Fun Stuff Fridays? http://www.toysinthedryer.com/2012/01/fun-stuff-fridays-6.htmlReplyDelete
Great idea! I do something similar with my eldest daughter, using whatever I have on hand... when we only have a tiny amount of leftovers that would otherwise go to waste, chickpeas, jelly...I'll have to try this one outside, I'm sure she'll love it!ReplyDelete
I'm also your newest follower, feel free to check out my blog and follow me back if you like. Thanks!!
This is so clever! Would be fun thing to do during outdoor time at the prescool I teach at!ReplyDelete
Yay for learning about food and I love that you did it outside even in the cold. All bundled up with the gloves on. I bet that was fun for them! Thanks for linking up to Thinky Linky Thurdsay!ReplyDelete
What fun & I love that you bundled up & took it outside!! We LOVE CLoudy with a Chance of Meatballs!!! Super cute book! The movie is cute, fun & clean. Not exactly like the book, there is a love story & a selfish mayor who ends up quite large.... but it was cute & clean.ReplyDelete
Thanks for linking up to TGIF! See you next week,
Beth =-)
Fun!! Thanks for sharing at Shine on Fridays!ReplyDelete
My daughter would love this activity... the mixing, and the dumping and the stirring :) Love the book as well. Thanks so much for sharing this on Sharing Saturday Lorie, hope you have a great week.ReplyDelete
This is a fun activity to go with Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs book. We own this book and enjoy it too. Thanks for joining WMCIR!ReplyDelete
I use the "last little bit" of things that will never get used otherwise or the bag that sits in the pantry for two years (LOL!) for sensory tubs. I've colored rice and used beans and popcorn kernels...the scooping, pouring, spooning, and transferring is just so much fun for little ones!ReplyDelete
I love that you took them outside for fresh air!!
love this post... I usually throw all the left over odds and ends of pasta into a pot and serve it for a super-surprise-dinner... I suspect the kids might enjoy sensory play more than mums hodge-podge cooking!ReplyDelete
Love when we can take was is normally indoor play into our outdoor play spaces! Looks like they are really having a great time.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for linking up to the outdoor play party! I am sharing and pinning this post. Hope you will link up with us again!
Thank you for saving my dinner. I saw this on Greening Sam and Avery's FB page and when my boys were on the verge of melting down while I was trying to make dinner I thought of this post. I poured some old pasta in our water table, gave them some small containers, spoons, and let them enjoy. It worked like a charm :)ReplyDelete
So fun! My 2 year old would love doing this. Thanks for the inspiration. And thanks for sharing at Monday Madness. Hope to see you again tomorrow!ReplyDelete
Looks like they are having so much fun. It's one of the great way to have a good time with your children.ReplyDelete

Love the color!!!
The color is so much nicer than in the catalog. I ordered it in grape berry. I am tempted to order another top in the same color!! I like to collar and the sleeves are long enough. Based on my previous ordering history though I decided to go 2 sizes up to allow room for my bust. These blouses don't cater to the "busty". I am D cup sized.
Niagara Falls, NY
Very pretty
Beautiful, just what I wanted.
Bedford indiana
The fit is GREAT! The color (Ginger Blossom) is very Beautiful.
Oxford, NC
Very Pretty!!!
After reading the reviews I too ordered the 14. I usually wear a 12. The 14 fit great. This is a very nice quality blouse for a very reasonable price and the tie is a nice touch. The persimmon color is yummy. I can't wait for the matching shoes to arrive!
Los Angeles, CA
Love It
I returned the size 12 and ordered the size 14. It fits great. I forgot to add in my last review that I'm a 36D. I love this shirt. The quality is great. I bought all colors.
Hinesville, Georgia
HInesville, Georgia
Runs Small
The shirt runs small. I bought a size 12 and I have to return it. It's too tight across the bust area. I'm going to order a size 14. I will write another review when I receive the size 14. Other than that, the shirt is great.
