"Maitreya's Ornament of Clear Realization, along with its commentaries, opens a window into the vast landscape of the Prajnaparamita Sutras territory that has been largely left unexplored by Western scholars and practitioners. . . . Karl Brunnhölzl's breathtaking scholarship, lucid translations, and deep insight into the meaning of these texts brings this vast body of teachings to life. Gone Beyond is bound to be an invaluable reference work for scholars and practitioners for years to come."—Andy Karr, author of Contemplating Reality
"In a stimulating and accessible way, Karl Brunnhölzl's Gone Beyond brings us into the vast and profound world of prajaparamita literature. In these two volumes of Gone Beyond (with a companion volume soon to follow), we discover the foundation of the Mahayana path in all its glory."—Elizabeth Callahan, translator of The Treasury of Knowledge: Book Six, Part Three
"These two volumes of Gone Beyond are a groundbreaking work and a great treasure for Western Buddhism."—Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, from the Foreword to Volume 1 "Prajnaparamita literature, which deals with the Mahayana doctrine of emptiness, is notoriously impenetrable, certainly not the sort of material that one can jump right into no matter how fine the translation. However, Brunnhölzl provides a masterful introduction that surveys the history of the text and its many Tibetan commentaries and makes sense of the complex subject matter."—Buddhadharma: The Practitioners Quarterly

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
"To land anywhere on Big Planet except Earth Enclave meant tragedy, debacle, cataclysm": it doesn't look good for Claude Glystra's interstellar mission when his sabotaged ship crashes deep in the heart of enemy territory. At least one of the traitors is on the loose, and the forces of the despotic Bajarnum of Beaujolais are out to destroy Claude, his fellow Earthmen and a lovely young native they christen Nancy, as the group embarks upon a deadly 40,000-mile journey to refuge in Jack Vance's weird and highly imaginative Big Planet.

About the Author
Jack Vance was born in 1916 and educated at the University of California in mining engineering, physics and journalism. During the Second World War he served in the Merchant Navy and was torpedoed twice. He started contributing stories to the pulp magazines in the late 1940s and published his first book, The Dying Earth, in 1950. Among his many books are To Live Forever, The DragonMasters, for which he won his first Hugo, The Blue World, Emphyrio, The Anome and the Lyonesse sequence. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Earth authorities, concerned about the activities of a local warlord/slaver, send a team to investigate/intervene. However, their ship is sabotaged and crashlands on Big Planet. The survivors, led by Claude Glystra, set out on an impossibly ambitious trek to reach Earth Enclave, located on the other side of the planet, 40,000 miles away. Meanwhile, they continue to worry about the possibility of an enemy agent in their midst.
Although I like the idea of "Big Planet", I don't think Vance puts that idea to its best use here. The overarching warlord/sabotage plot tended to distract from the challenge of the planet itself, and tended to have the effect of making a big planet seem small again. Part of the problem, perhaps, is that Vance's original 1948 manuscript (now lost) was almost twice as long, but edited down after he was told it would not sell. But, for whatever reason, we are left with a rushed adventure story that could just as easily taken place on a small planet.
Vance's inventiveness is on display, but he has done better elsewhere. In particular, he has done better with his vastly superior 1975 novel SHOWBOAT WORLD (a/k/a THE MAGIFICENT SHOWBOATS OF THE LOWER VISSEL RIVER, LUNE XIII SOUTH, BIG PLANET), written 23 years later, which is also set on Big Planet. Read that one first - it stands on its own. Read this later, and only if determined to read all things Vance.
If you do seek out BIG PLANET, make sure you find an edition that reverts to the 1952 text that appeared in Startling Stories. The 1957 Ace edition, and later editions based on it (such as the 1977 coronet edition), massacred the 1952 text. The 2012 Kindle edition from Spatterlight Press, the Gollancz Kindle edition, 1978 Miller-Underwood edition (but not, as Wikipedia wrongly says, the 1978 Ace edition) and the unobtainable Vance Integral Edition revert to the 1952 text. I'm not sure about the Gollancz paperbacks. One test is whether the opening paragraph refers to Hidders' mixed-race origens and ends with a reference to "many brains". If so, then read on. If not, and if the second page refers to a "Sister of Succor" rather than a "nun", then hold off and wait for a better copy.
Big Planet was settled by hordes of restless people looking for someplace other than the highly regulated home planet. Over four hundred years, millions of people migrate to Big Planet and find a home. The planet is now filled with thousands of small societies, who perpetuate every crime outlawed on Earth.
In this novel, Claude Glystra is the Executive Chairman of a commission sent to the Big Planet to investigate the Bajarnum of Beaujolais .
Pianza is a well-meaning, but dense old man. He is the team organizer and administrator.
Bishop is the team data specialist. He has memorized many records on the planet cultures and terrain.
Cloyville is the team mineralogist
Ketch runs the team video and sound equipment.
Darrot is the team ecologist.
Corbus is the Chief Engineer of the ship.
Vallusser is the Second Engineer of the ship.
Abbigens is the ship radio operator and purser.
Arthur Hidders says he is a trader in furs.
Charley Lysidder is the Bajarnum of Beaujolais. He has been taking over nearby territories.
In this story, Pianza and Hidders are discussing the planet they are approaching. Hidders seems interested in the latest team sent to Big Planet. He wonders what they can do that previous teams could not.
Claude comes to the observation lounge just in time for the dinner chime to ring. As they leave the lounge, the ship appears to sway. Claude asks Abbigens if anything is wrong.
Then the alarms sound. Clause learns that the lifeboats have been ejected without them. The Captain and First Mate are dead and the ship is out of control.
When Claude returns to consciousness, he learns that the ship crashed. Abbigens and Hidders are missing and Corbus and Vallusser are the only surviving crew. A nun passenger is presumed dead since her cabin is at the bottom of the ship.
All of his team have survived. Claude orders them to pack anything useful for a hike and tells them to get ready to leave. If Abbigens or Hidders survived, they are probably off to fetch soldiers to capture them.
His nurse Nancy wants to go with them. Claude refuses, but says she can go with them as far as the woods. As they leave the village, the residents are dancing around them.
In the woods, Clause leaves his team and Nancy to reconnoiter. He finds Beaujolais soldiers settling in for the night. One sets up a blaster and goes back for something.
Clause settles behind the blaster and tells the soldiers to freeze. The gunner rushes him and six soldiers die. Claude calls his team and has them set guards on the soldiers.
Clause pretends to sleep, but keeps an eye on the blaster. The far guards go into the woods one at a time to relief themselves. Vallusser sneaks around and attacks the two men on the blaster. Claude shoots him with his ion shine.
Vallusser and Darrot are dead. Corbus is wounded in the neck. During the excitement, three soldiers escape from the camp. Ketch uses the first aid kit to tend to Corbus.
The next day, the dead are buried. Nancy is sent back. The soldiers are tied together with ankle ropes and marched out of the camp.
This tale takes Claude and his group toward the Earth Enclave. They have forty thousand miles to travel to get there. Along the way, the people of the planet will try to kill them for their wealth and as food.
Claude is determined to let nothing stop him. This story is also available in the Jack Vance SF Gateway Omnibus.
Highly recommended for Vance fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of human settled, but anarchical planets with many cultures. Read and enjoy!
-Arthur W. Jordin

In February a lease between the Washington Youth Sports Association and the city expired paving the way for a potential dog park.
Parks and Recreations Director Darren Dunkle told the park board at the Feb. 6 meeting that, with the lease expired, the land located on Simmonds Avenue near public works, could become the dog park. During the last park board meeting, however, the board was reminded they have never officially signed off on the location as being the future site of the park

A report from SDCC on an actor who has been in all three of the new "Star Trek" films. Well, sorta.
Roger Ebert has attended international film festivals and events for almost half a century, from the Kolkata International Film Festival to the Academy Awards. In addition to his coverage, our contributors report the latest from Cannes, Telluride, Toronto, Sundance and other movie showcases world-wide.
Malik Vitthal's directorial debut "Imperial Dreams" is an excellent movie that has been criminally overlooked by critics and audiences alike here in Park City. Candid and rooted in reality, the film tells the story of Bambi (John Boyega), an ex-con recently released from prison and thrown back into his dangerous hometown of Watts, Los Angeles. Responsible for a child (a little boy name Day played by Ethan and Justin Coach), Bambi is attempting to lead a better, cleaner life—one without drug deals and shoot-outs. Playing straight has rarely seemed so hard, though. The mother of Bambi's child is in prison (Keke Palmer), his mom is a raging alcoholic and his vindictive uncle (Glenn Plummer) will only help him out if he agrees to rejoin the gang that got him locked up 28 months ago.
It would appear our empathetic protagonist is in a dire situation, living out of his unworkable car with his 4-year-old son. However, hope lies in Bambi's writing—a talent he developed while imprisoned, hundreds of miles away from home. His musings on the strenuous life of a criminal, which are occasionally read aloud to Day or narrated by Boyega, are illuminating and heartbreaking. Through these characters Vitthal paints a harrowing picture of a life in which the only pertinent question is whether you'll be killed before you're incarcerated, or vice-versa. Like the cyclical cycle of violence and poverty, "Imperial Dreams" mercilessly envelops you in its narrative and refuses to let you go until you've been moved. Every gunshot, injustice and tragedy hits emotional chords.
That's not to say that "Imperial Dreams" covers material that hasn't been explored in the movies. John Singleton's masterful "Boyz N the Hood" examined the trials and tribulations of young men in Inglewood back in 1991. But it has been over 20 years since that poignant film and other early '90s inner-city dramas unveiled their horrors. By showing the psychological and socioeconomic hardships that have yet to subside, "Imperial Dreams" suggests that not much has changed. Like Singleton, Vitthal is speaking to us through art, profoundly and lucidly. We've yet to fully listen.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

- I purchased a beautiful Art Deco emerald engagement ring from Gesner in September 2013. I could not have been more delighted with the outstanding customer service provided. Communication and delivery was super fast. The ring was exactly as described. They are an extremely honest and trustworthy company. I recommend Gesner Jewelers wholeheartedly and without reservation.

- My fiancé bought my engagement ring from Gesner's and we were very satisfied with the quality and communication provided. I decided to order my wedding band from Gesner's too and am just as happy with it. Thank you! Review by Kimberly B. (Posted on 5/12/2013)
- What a great experience! I went in to browse and found a ring I HAD to have. The staff was so helpful and didn't pressure me one bit. I slept on the decision a few days. When I went back in I talked with quit a few people in the store. Finally I took the plunge and bought it. I couldn't be happier and get a LOT of compliments. I would recommend this store for their knowledge, even if you don't want an antique style jewelry; they have lots of other pieces too. Go in and chat; you will learn a lot about jewelry! Review by Melissa S. (Posted on 10/22/2012)

- Excellent quality, great value, simply honest and wonderful customer service. We have made several purchases and been delighted with each one. Review by David (Posted on 12/16/2012)
I wanted to send a belated though enthusiastic thank you for all your assistance in finding the perfect engagement ring for my wife-to-be. I had a seemingly endless litany of questions and what turned out to be unfounded concerns, and you were generous with your time addressing all of my queries. You were also right when you noted that photos simply didn't do the ring justice – a sentiment my fiancee and all those who have seen the ring echo! The engagement ring is absolutely beautiful! Thanks again!

None. You can't know that your computer is completely secure.
But what you can do is protect it as best you can, and that doesn't mean just security applications, but also the way you use it.
Obviously you do need security software. I use a firewall, an anti-virus scanner and a couple of anti-malware scanners, (For once-weekly manual scans), but there are other things, and the following link to a "Tips for a problem free computer experience" will help;
They're guidelines, but are very useful ones to follow.
I hope that helps.
I have battled with virus protections for years and still puzzled. So may programs, (free downloads, system tool downloads and licensed virus protections)which one will keep me virus/malware/spyware/hacker free? What are the programs that will let me know I got my xp home locked down tight? Are free downloads just as good or better than purchased software?

Describe the Universe with as many poetic adjectives as you can find in a crystal bowl of candy hearts, but the one word that truly encapsulates the depthless vessel is "ironic." While we were singularly focused on 2012 DA 14, the cricket-pitch-wide asteroid that swept across our sights Friday, another unseen interloper passed below the radar and exploded above the Chelyabinsk region within Russia's Ural mountains. Now, ordinarily, such a bait and switch parlor trick would be ripe fodder for humor (or our clumsy attempt at humor). However, this surprise attack is no occasion for mirth: more than 900 people were injured; four dozen seriously enough to be hospitalized. Two very unfortunate people have been committed to intensive care. Windows shattered; car alarms sounded and a powerful shock waves propagated radially away from the ground's detonation point -one that might have been as much as 20 miles below the actual explosion. Fragments fell around a wide area not yet measured.
Witnesses reported observing a fiery display as the "meteor" entered the comparatively thicker layer of the lower stratosphere. Video footage shows thunder-cloud thick contrails extending across the sky in the asteroid's wake: eerily reminiscent of the doomed Challenger contrails that trailed off into nothing. The blast was reported at 9:20 a.m. local time (10:20 p.m. EST Thursday night.)
This undetected asteroid weighed 10 tons and roared through the atmosphere at speeds exceeding 33,000 miles an hour. That it went unnoticed is not surprising: its diameter is estimated to have been about 10 meters, a fraction of DA 2012's size. NASA's aim to detect such Potentially Hazardous Asteroids started in earnest only a few years ago. And, those researchers involved in the project concede that they do not expect to find all of the "small ones," i.e., asteroids with diameters equal to or smaller than 10 meters. At least not straight away.
Today's catastrophe, however, will likely provide a greater impetus for the world's space agencies to locate and track any body capable of inflicting such damage. As was true in 1908, when another celestial body (identification not yet established) exploded over Tunguska (in Siberia), these minor asteroids can wreak havoc and destruction without any warning whatsoever.

Digging Latin
By James Harper
April 16, 1990
You published a very amusing article about a convicted arsonist who attempted to have his conviction overturned on the grounds that the indictment was badly written. For one thing, he complained, it contained a sentence of 180 words, and it even contained some Latin. We should all have some sympathy with the poor criminal. You quote a New England columnist as chastising the writer of the indictment for using words like "to wit," "whereas" and "aforementioned." He adds that there were "numerous bits of...
Argentina defend Latin pride v Germany in World Cup final

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Germany battle to become the first European side to win a World Cup on Latin American soil in Sunday's final against Argentina whose captain Lionel Messi is out to emulate the great Diego Maradona. Germany are favourites after their ruthlessly efficient 7-1 demolition of hosts Brazil in the semi-final. Yet in Messi, Argentina have one of the world's greatest current players who can turn a big game in a flash and would dearly love to bring...

Kalmar takes a different path with Latin works
By Alan G. Artner, Special to the Tribune
June 25, 2011
Many programs of Latin orchestral works cover well-traveled ground by presenting the same handful of popular pieces by the same celebrated composers. Carlos Kalmar's program with the Grant Park Orchestra Friday night went further. Some of the names – Heitor Villa-Lobos, Carlos Chavez, Alberto Ginastera – were, of course, familiar, but the selections by them were not. And to the works of such past masters Kalmar added even lesser-known music by living composers – Elbio...
Teen stands up to gang and nearly loses his life

With his throat slashed and his shirt covered in blood, the 15-year-old boy cowered in the garbage can where he had been tossed and left for dead. Occasionally, he could hear sounds - cars passing, people walking by - but he wouldn't look out or call for help for fear that his attackers would return. For 90 minutes, he huddled in the garbage can and held a balled-up sweater to his neck to try to stanch the bleeding. "I was thinking about what was going to happen to me,...
Move to Latin house

March 22, 2002
"When you hear a Latin track, you're gonna move," says Edwin Rios, a popular Chicago nightclub deejay with strong Latin roots. Under the alias Bear'Who?, Rios, who is Puerto Rican-American, is known for spinning deep and underground house music in Chicago's favorite dance clubs. But he stands out from other house deejays when he brings his heritage to the turntables in the form of Latin house music. Deep, dark and sensual, you know it when you hear it. First, there's the percussion, dripping in...
UN expects drop in foreign investment in Latin America in 2014
May 29, 2014
SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Foreign direct investment in Latin America and the Caribbean is expected to fall slightly in 2014, after rising 5 percent to a record-high $185 billion last year, the regional United Nations' body said on Thursday. The United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) attributed the expected drop in FDI in 2014 to slow economic growth over the last two years and a drop in metals prices, one of the region's biggest...
Latin pioneer Avila dies
By New York Times News Service
October 28, 2004
Second baseman Bobby Avila, the American League batting champion in 1954 when he played for the pennant-winning Cleveland Indians, and one of the first prominent Latin major-leaguers in the decade after World War II, died Tuesday in Veracruz, Mexico. He was 78. The cause was complications of diabetes, the Indians said. Avila, a native of Veracruz, became the first Latin player to win a major-league batting title when he hit .341 for the Indians team that won a league-record 111 games.

Latin Students Carpe Diem
By Christine Winter
April 16, 1993
There's a hardy band of second-year Latin scholars at Larkin High School who are as ferocious as Julius Caesar, as eloquent as Cicero and as persistent as Aeneas when it comes to fighting for their language program. Yet conquering all of Gaul might be a cakewalk compared to convincing the Elgin Area U-46 School Board, which faces the hard reality of a budget deficit, not to drop the combined third- and fourth-year Latin class at Larkin. The advanced class will most likely have just 14 students...

Cato jumper lifts Latin
By Alan Sutton, Tribune staff reporter. (Roundup) compiled by Chris Kuc and Jason Kerr
February 14, 2006
With Latin trailing by 13 points with 3 minutes 47 seconds left, Brittney Cato thought she and her teammates had no chance. But she was to prove herself wrong. Cato drove an open lane and buried a 5-foot jumper with 1.1 seconds remaining to give the Romans a 42-40 Class A sectional semifinal victory over Immaculate Conception on Monday. "I just saw it was open and went for it," said Cato, whose team scored the final 15 points at St. Benedict. The victory puts Latin (23-6)

Botero's 1969 "Man Going to Work" is the top lot in Christie's line-up for its Wednesday sale, with a pre-sale estimate of up to $1.8 million. Matta's "Morphologie Psychologique" could fetch up to $3.5 million at...

Pitbull is trying to live up to the "Mr. Worldwide" title he has given himself, bringing a paella of Latin beats, Euro dance, hip-hop and reggaeton to the mainstream. As he says on his website, his music is "catching a lot of people's ears," and his "Planet Pit World Tour" is a steamy summer music party worth catching. Why go: Pitbull's album "Global Warming" won't be out until the fall, but the tour includes a preview including the first single, "Get it Started"...

Latin Courses Making A Comeback

March 11, 1992
After years of waning interest and dwindling enrollments, Latin is making a comeback at schools. College-bound students are taking Latin to boost their verbal SAT scores. School districts are adding Latin to beef up curriculums. And parents are lobbying for Latin as part of a return to academic basics. "Latin is becoming the intellectual equivalent of making students go out for sports," said Lawrence Gaichas, chairman of Duquesne University's classics department. High school Latin...

August 2, 2006
Paul McCartney is putting his high school Latin to use. The former Beatle has recorded a classical album that is sung partially in Latin, a language he studied at his Liverpool high school, the BBC reported this week. "Ecce Cor Meum" (or "Behold My Heart") is McCartney's fourth classical release and is due out on Sept. 26. McCartney told the BBC he hopes the choral work "could be sung by young people the world over in the same way that Handel's Messiah is."

Zamami-jima Restaurants
Morumiya: Very nice prices and good food
It is located at the furtherest inland point of the town... maybe a few blocks up to the left from the supermarket... up from joy joy diving inn.
Which reminds me, most of the other tourists on this island in November were Japanese tourists who stuck to the diving minshuku and went out on boats diving all day long. This meant the island was delightfully empty during the day.
Favorite Dish: Can't remember, but it was all good and cheap!Related to:
- Budget Travel
- Eco-Tourism
- Diving and Snorkeling
Zamami-jima Sports & Outdoors
Over the hill from the town is a beach (beginning with "F" - can't remember the name). In my guide books it said the snorkeling was good here... and it is good. It is an easy walk along the road to get there.
The other direction around the coast from the town takes you to a small settlement and the camping ground. You can snorkel here in the morning and see huge sea turtles. A guide helped us here.
The guided trip - take the kayak trip from the place with a sea kayak above it opposite the supermarket in town. The guy that runs the place is "Sano". He speaks English well and gives great deals... all and all he is just the nicest fella... made our holiday the best... helped us book accommodation on the mainland when we went back, helped me look for my lost glasses around the island... good deals, pure legend.

A Rare Opportunity for Six Young Conductors
New Orleans
Orchestral conducting is a mysterious art. A great conductor is expected to hold an ensemble together, control its sound, shape its musical interpretation and inspire its musicians to artistic heights—often by sheer force of personality.
Once, the role was easier to fulfill. Back in the 17th century, the conducting fashion of the day was simply to beat time against the floor with a long wooden staff. The technique was simple, though it presented its own challenges. Composer Jean-Baptiste Lully's staff accidentally punctured his foot on a downward thrust during a performance—he died of gangrene.
Today, the job is safer, but the demands are greater. Conductors must have a strong personal conception about the music, then convey it to the players through facial gestures, hand motions, bodily contortions, and—so it often seems—psychic vibrations. Rehearsals afford them an opportunity for verbal instructions, though they must be ever mindful of the limits of talk and its dangers of tedium. Most young conductors learn early on that orchestras can be unforgiving.
Opportunities to demonstrate and refine these skills are rare. Thus the League of American Orchestras established the biennial Bruno Walter National Conductor Preview, in which up-and-coming conductors can showcase their talents for an audience of orchestra search committees, managers and artistic administrators. The most recent one took place here last month, when the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra became the plaything of six talented newcomers, selected from a field of 150 applicants.
The lineup included Jerusalem-born Yaniv Dinur, a prize-winner in several international competitions; Christopher James Lees, who arrived with contemporary-music experience in Ohio and Boston; Brazilian-born Marcelo Lehninger, who just recently filled in for an ailing James Levine in Boston and garnered rave reviews; Sean Newhouse, an assistant conductor at the Boston Symphony Orchestra; Robert Treviño, named a "Rising Star" by Symphony Magazine; and Joseph Young, assistant conductor of the Phoenix Symphony.
One by one, these young conductors—ranging in age from the mid-20s to mid-30s—took to the stage, waving their small white batons like wizards conjuring worlds of rhythm and color with strokes of their wands and stopping sporadically to fine-tune a particular section of a score. Each tackled pieces from the same short list of symphonic works by Leonard Bernstein, Beethoven, Mozart, Camille Saint-Saëns (the first cello concerto, with the orchestra's principal cellist Jonathan Gerhardt in the solo role) and Johann Strauss Jr., demonstrating their rehearsal skills as well as conducting flair. "They've got to show they can do everything," said the League's president and CEO, Jesse Rosen.
As they strutted their stuff, one corrected the rhythmic articulations at the opening of Strauss's "Die Fledermaus." Another demanded a more biting sound in Beethoven. "Have twice as much yearning," suggested a third while rehearsing Bernstein's "Symphonic Dances From West Side Story." And often they drew lush, expressive and wonderfully cohesive sounds from the musicians.
The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra's good will was palpable throughout a day of daunting challenges. "We're used to guest conductors, of course," explained percussionist Jim Atwood, "but switching partners every 40 minutes was a bit like speed dating. We were working hard to make a good first impression while trying to keep all the candidates straight in our minds—'is this the one that wanted it loud and aggressive?'" Perhaps the fact that the orchestra's principal conductor, Carlos Prieto, is himself a laureate of this program explains the notable generosity of spirit that pervaded the event.
A lot was at stake. "There are about 2,000 orchestras in America—some large, some small—and they all need conductors," said Mr. Rosen. The audience included professionals with the power to boost careers, like Aurelie Desmarais, the senior director of artistic planning for the Houston Symphony Orchestra. "Today is just a snapshot," she explained, "but you can tell a lot—their interactions with the orchestra, the chemistry that develops, how they speak in rehearsal. Some get very finicky and stop constantly, others allow the orchestra to play and get up a head of steam. It takes a while to learn how to run a rehearsal so that the players don't get frustrated. Generally you like to see a conductor who can communicate mostly with his or her physicality.
"Some of these kids are already accomplished," she continued. "Others are inexperienced, but you might see sparks in them—glimpses of what is possible. And at this age they learn so much in the course of six months. In fact, I saw one of these conductors four years ago, and it's nice to recognize the growth since that time.
For the conductors, the chance to work with a top-notch orchestra seemed almost reward enough. Asked what it takes to be successful at his art, Mr. Treviño appeared to sum up the group feeling. "It takes a love of the music, and a sound I dare to imagine," he replied. "So when I'm up there on the podium, I'm not thinking, 'Am I looking good? Is this going well?' But rather, 'Am I connecting with the musicians? Are we getting the musical result?' And when it works—all those musicians silently agreeing to a singular idea and purpose—it is a moment of ecstasy, of transcendence. It's as if you are not even there."
Mr. Isacoff is on the faculties of the Purchase College (SUNY) conservatories of music and dance.

Definition of metroplex in English:
nounchiefly North American
A very large metropolitan area, especially one which is an aggregation of two or more cities: the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex
More example sentences
- But there's so much life tied to that compact space, so much to observe and absorb in those 200 yards, I often come away feeling as if I've taken a drive in the country rather than idled along a cable fence in the middle of a thriving metroplex.
- During the summertime, ozone blights much of the metroplex.
- No one was thrilled to see all those chemicals going up into the already questionable air we breathe here in the metroplex.
1960s: blend of metropolitan and complex.

I seriously cannot wait for labor to start! Every time I have a strong contraction, I'm like "YES!!! Hit me with another one!" But no. Seems like the painful ones are always solitary. I have a serious case of the fizzles. I'm trying not to complain, because my due date isn't even until Monday, but I'm so ready for this baby to come out! MIL comes tomorrow and leaves on July 5th and it would seriously be a bummer if the baby weren't here before she left. She's coming now because I had everyone so convinced the baby would be here by now. Sigh.
Being in pain never sounded so good...
OMG!!! Story. Of. My. Life. Ughhh, it is driving me crazy!! I want it to hurt so bad, because I know there will be a surprise at the end, but nope.... I have given up trying. I have walked miles, jumped, DTD, drank tea, ate this and that, and here I am. I have started telling people when they ask that plans have changed and she isn't coming until Sept. I hope your body kicks into gear soon
So I'm thinking it's possible this time it's real? 6 minutes apart and crampy! Waiting just to see if they get longer (only lasting 40 seconds or so right now)/stronger/closer and then I'll probably call the midwife to see if we should go get checked out.
Good luck! KUP.
Oooooooooo Maggie!! I am sending you lots of real labor vibes!! Keep us posted!!
We're at the birth center...not much change dilation wise but having contrax every 4-5 min. DH and I went for a walk around the hospital grounds and they seem to be getting stronger. They are going to check me again in an hour or so, put me back on the monitors and see if things fizzle or pick up. If things hadn't gone from 0-60 with my first in an hour, I would go home and come back. Kinda frustrating.

Reese Witherspoon in 7 For All Mankind Shorts
Reese Witherspoon and her family were snapped while visiting the construction site of their new house. Reese wore a pair of 7 For All Mankind shorts with a striped tee and white sandals.
I like the pocket details of these shorts with the side welt pockets and the gold button. This style fits Reese's preppy, classic style really well. I could never imagine her in a pair of cut offs! You can buy 7 For All Mankind online from Shopbop.com.
Malin Ackerman in Citizens of Humanity Corey Slouchy Slim in Bourbon
Malin Ackerman was photographed while out grocery shopping and running errands with her son. Malin wore a pair of Citizens of Humanity Corey Slouchy Slim jeans in Bourbon with a blue silk shirt and sandals.
These have a bit more of a slouchy fit but Malin's pair looks like they're a bit more of a loose fit. I wonder if she sized up to get more of a boyfriend feel? I also like how she paired them with the silk blouse, which adds a really nice feminine element. You can buy Citizens online from Shopbop.com.
Megan Fox in Current/Elliott Stiletto Skinny in Clear Water
Megan Fox was spotted doing some grocery shopping at Whole Foods in Studio City, California. The actress wore a pair of the Current/Elliott Stiletto Skinny in Clear Water with some flip-flops and her signature slouchy t shirt.
Megan has an endless array of denim and I am happy to see her back in Current/Elliott as we don't get many sightings of the brand anymore. I really appreciate that they kept true to the soul of the brand even after all these years. Their jeans are up to date, but still have the vintage inspiration that they started with. How many of you still love the brand? You can click here to purchase Current/Elliott from SHOPBOP.
Kristen Taekman in Dittos Melissa Denim Overalls in Bleeker
The lovely Kristen Taekman was spotted leaving her NYC hotel room while wearing a pair of Dittos Melissa Denim Overalls in Bleeker with some leopard brogues and a leather jacket.
This is a really interesting way to wear denim overalls, I think it's quite edgy and unique. What do you think of it? Would you pair them with a leather jacket and leopard print? Buy these overalls online at Amazon.com.

Many couples, straight or lesbian, use cunninglus as a means to greatly enhance their sexual experience and pleasure. In case you haven't used it so far, or don't know how to do it properly, and are still reluctant to use it, here you can find some good thoughts on how to do it like an expert. The method below was used on so many women, that all turned this experience into a highly refined orgasm, and even a multiple one. You can consider it the universal method, it's how most people perform oral sex on their female partner.
First, you should know that lots of women are shy about their body. Your partner needs to be told she is beautiful and re-assured that there is nothing wrong with her body, in case she has a sort of disability or not so great body. Especially tell her you love her great legs. Make her trust you and feel comfortable with you in bed.
When you start to touch and caress her, don't go down straight to her sex, start slowly to caress her other erogenous zones of her body, and kiss her gently. Have in view her face (lips, eyes, neck, etc.), breasts, belly, and only after that her legs. If you turn her on by doing that, prior to the licking part itself, you've "won half the battle", i.e. she now wants you! Take a good look, with admiration, between her legs: it's great, isn't it? Adore her sex, because it will bring you a lot of pleasure.
Her pussy is unique. Learn to love it, in case you accidentally still don't, and tell her why you particularly like her sex. Women like to hear nice words, especially if they are true, so don't be shy and tell her what you like. Caress her sex gently, she will like it for sure, any girl likes her sex to be caressed. After you caress her pubic hair, continue with her labia, and with her inner lips. Don't forget at this time to already have your finger(s) wet, if they are not make them wet (put them into your mouth, or if she accepts it, in her mouth). Don't start to rub, even gently, with a dry finger! It's unpleasant for her, and you'll ruin the evening. Gently insert a finger or two inside her sex, you'll also see how wet she is (or not yet!) and your finger will stay wet this way. Even if you start to see her clit (which for most women is small and hidden, when not aroused), don't touch it yet. You can start by now to kiss her inner side of the legs. Don't rush with that, if you want to lick your lover's sex for HER pleasure too, and not only for yours, you have to make her reach that moment when she becomes totally aroused, just waiting for your tongue to fulfill its mission. When you kiss her (and here you can play in many ways, according to your imagination), come closer to her vulva, and start licking her inner lips and stick your tongue inside her. Think of inserting your tongue inside her as if it were your penis, and move it inside and outside. It's a sort of making sex to her with your tongue. Although she will not feel as great as when her clit is licked, it will arouse her so much that it will open your way to her big prize, the clit. Generally, licking the clit only drives her to orgasm. Take care not to touch her genital area (especially the inner side or clit) with your beard or moustache, it may be unpleasant for her; ask her if it so - if you are not freshly shaved avoid this by placing your fingers or hand between your mouth and her sex (cutting the moustache/beard's contact with her sex), and let only your tongue and lips make the oral contact. After this phase, you can now lick a bit her clit, just a bit, give her the sensation of a great achievement, that things are on the right track. Kiss very gently her clit, very gently, then start to lick on it. Not fast at all at the beginning, but in time increase the speed of your licking, you'll see she will respond to it. She will even tell you when to go faster, and not stop. It will take some time until she reaches orgasm, so you need to be good or trained in this. When you reached the phase of accelerated clit licking, don't stop or take your tongue off it. I suggest you kiss her clit and the small area around, and while sucking it (aspiring it) gently in your mouth (don't touch it with your teeth!) lick it. So, lick while having it aspired inside your mouth. And move your tongue with her body (i.e. move and don't break the contact of your tongue with her clit), don't fight her. If you need to take a break for your heroic tongue, do it by replacing your tongue with a finger (already wet - before resting the tongue insert your finger inside her wet vagina or inside your mouth), so that you always maintain a contact with her clit (and fast rub, as well). When you are ready to use your tongue again, replace the finger by the tongue. If you think to continue only with your finger, forget it (if you are not that exhausted, and want her to have a great time). A tongue is much better than a finger! In the meanwhile you can also spread her legs more (gently), if you want so, she will agree to that with no opposition. By no means you are allowed to stop until she reaches orgasm. Even then, continue until she tells you to stop. She can easily have a second or even third orgasm, so even if it's tough for you to go on for such a long time, she will be so greatful in the end that she'll call you for more in the future, and you also might get a good fellatio in return!
You can add to this also fingers insertion (2 is the best, not 1, not 3). Some women do not like to have fingers inserted in their vagina. If so, they will take your fingers from there with their hands. But you can try. If she doesn't remove your fingers, then she surely likes it, and this way is a better stimulation than with a tongue alone, or even than normal sex. Just make sure that your fingers are not rough, in case you have performed rough manual work in your life. It would be unpleasant for her. In such a case, better use the backside of your fingers, even for caresses on her body, not only in the vaginal area. Or instead of fingers (be it rough or piano-player type) you can use a dildo, your nose (or even forehead), or you can caress or insert a finger in her anus. Again, if she agrees. Just remember here, that once you insert a finger in her anus, don't re-insert it later in her vagina! It will cause infection for her. So, be creative, especially if you have a long term partner, diversify your sex life so both do not get bored, e.g. pour some Chantilly-type cream on her pussy (just like you would like some pudding on your penis during a fellatio), some wine or champagne, and lick both her sex and the added "ingredient". Prior to engaging in pussy eating, you can give her a banana to suck on it erotically, so you can enjoy this scene visually. And afterwards, you can caress her body and sex with a (previously cleaned, of course) rose or feather, the options are countless, as you can see!
After she tells you to stop since all her genital area got sensitive, remember to still gently caress her breasts and body, and kiss her face. Don't do it very passionately, or she will "burn" again for a sex session, but just to make her comfortable after sex. Women need that a lot. Men don't, but women do, remember that! Women like sometimes to continue cunnilingus with intercourse, but sometimes not, and just enjoy the recent orgasm(s). She'll tell you to continue by penetrating her, if this is what she wants, if not she will not tell you this. So, in case you haven't finished, you can go on with a normal intercourse, she will normally like to continue the nice sensation (only in case her clit has not become too sensitive).
If you do all that, and "feel" the responses of your lady (encourage her prior to engaging sex to tell you what she wants and how she wants, to describe it), then you won her respect and you can consider yourself a Ph. D. graduate in oral sex upon a woman.
So, remember:
Don't use your teeth at all, don't blow into her sex, act according to her responses to your stimulation, and once you started the fast rhythm don't let go on her clit until she reaches orgasm (or multiple orgasm). Encourage her to tell you what she needs and when she's about to have an orgasm. Get some air, especially if you prefer facesitting (you lying under her, and her pussy above your mouth and tongue, even pressing a bit on them). In case of facesitting, put a pillow under your head, or your neck will get very tensed, and especially make her rub back and forth against your tongue that you keep outside (with her sex and clit). She will do it lousily at the beginning, since women are not used with this unnatural kind of motion for them, but you can move her with a hand on her butt and a hand on her pubic hair, until she gets the move or reaches orgasm. Now that you know all the theory, practise what you have just learned and drive your partner crazy. Good luck.
