By Jill Lawrence, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON The elections this week transformed not only Congress but the playing field for the 2008 presidential race. Some contenders self-destructed, one went home and a meteor streaked onto the radar in the form of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
There were two things, however, that didn't change: the contenders leading the polls on both sides.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., won a resounding re-election victory after raising nearly $40 million — more than any other Senate candidate this year. She isn't yet talking about her future, which is widely presumed to include a presidential bid but could involve a leadership role in a possibly Democratic Senate.
Some analysts praise her campaign skills but say they wouldn't be surprised if she chooses the latter, given the difficulties of a White House run. "She comes with baggage that no other candidate has and the ability to mobilize Republicans against her that none of the other Democrats can match," says Peverill Squire, a political scientist at the University of Iowa.
The Republican front-runner, Arizona Sen. John McCain, campaigned and raised money for candidates nationwide while also building a network for his White House bid. Though supportive of President Bush on Iraq, his disagreements with Bush about immigration policy, prisoner abuse and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's performance kept his maverick image alive.
While former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani also does well in polls and barnstormed the country, "right now it's hard to see another Republican who has similar stature" to McCain, Squire says.
A lesser known Democratic hopeful, Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, is forming a presidential campaign committee today, the Des Moines Register reported, making him first into the race on either side. "He wanted to make sure we had a good result in Iowa before taking the official step," Vilsack aide Jeff Link told the paper. Democrats took over the Iowa legislature and Democrat Chet Culver was elected to succeed Vilsack.
One Republican who had laid foundations for a national campaign now faces political oblivion: Virginia Sen. George Allen, whom the Associated Press declared the loser Wednesday in his re-election race against Democrat Jim Webb, based on a canvass of election officials. Allen's candidacy unraveled after he called an Indian-American "macaca," triggering examinations of his racial views, and reacted with anger and bad jokes to questions about his mother's newly revealed Jewish roots.
Another politician who pushed the self-destruct button: Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry. His remark appearing to denigrate the education level of troops in Iraq, which he called a bungled joke, reminded Democrats of Kerry's shortcomings as their 2004 nominee. The Iraq comment was "the final straw" for some, says Dean Spiliotes, a political scientist at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, N.H.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who is going home to Tennessee in January to ponder a GOP presidential run, presided over a loss of seats and controversies such as congressional intervention in end-of-life decisions for Terri Schiavo, the Florida woman in a vegetative state. Frist's association with Bush and his performance as leader also could hurt him. "He handled the job badly," Squire says.
Republicans lost governorships under Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's leadership of the Republican Governors Association. At home, Romney is being succeeded by a Democrat, Deval Patrick.
Two red-state Democrats, former North Carolina senator John Edwards and Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, solidified their standing in ways that may pay off later.
Edwards fought for minimum-wage hikes and strengthened ties with labor. Bayh helped Indiana Democrats oust three House Republicans and helped Democrats capture the legislature in Iowa, a key primary-season state.
Illinois' Obama, who is half Kansan and half Kenyan, generated big crowds even as his short résumé raised questions.
If the freshman senator decides to proceed, says Squire, "he's going to find out that it's a tough business. He's had the fun part already, and the painful part is coming up."

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The young ladies at the check in/check out desk were nice and professional. The grounds were neat and clean. There was no toliet tissue in the room, had to track down housekeeping. Both beds had stains on the sheets, my bed had what looked like black mascara smudges on the upper head part of the sheets (covered by the pillow). My friend's bed had "something red" what looked like blood on the upper part of the sheet and her bedspread had rips. One reason I chose this motel is because the picture shown on the website was so pretty (I forgot that could have been any of their rooms and who knows how old the pictures where). And lastly, the issue that was of most concern was that the bathroom had lots of little ants crawling around, both on the floor, on the walls and especially in the bathtub and bathtub walls. Not sure if I would stay there again, since I don't know if all the rooms are like that.
The price There were stains on the sheets, the walls the bathroom and the room itself were disgusting. There were cockroaches and the staff was extremely rude.
The price was really good, the room was really clean, but the breakfast was really poor, just coffee, muffins and orange.
Quiet & very convenient to all locations. Very reasonably priced. Key didn't work at first. Had to wait for staff to return from break to get it taken care of.
Comfortable beds. Being on the second floor, we are in our 70's so not fun carrying suitcases up the stairs.
Good price. good location for short stays
nice room brekfast
Soft bed, very nice staff, No bad points
It was comfortable & had good air conditioning There was ants. Coming in from the sink
The women at the check in window was so very RUDE. There was no Hello, how are you, ect...asked for my name, and collected the money then shut the window...I had to knock and ask for an additional pillow, she says there are none available....Absolutely RUDE
I liked the cleanliness and size of the room, as well as the courtesy from the hotel office staff.
Convenience, location to food gas stations outdoor shopping center and centrally located the word actress to Big Bear San Diego Palm Springs or LA is all done by about an hour-and-a-half travel several fast food restaurants located within walking distance along with a sit-down restaurant a car dealership with you want to look at Fords right across the street
staff would not let person i was meeting into room and they had to stay in lobby for a until I arived
The Clerk at the desk when we arrived was great, She was friendly, and she called our room to see if everything was ok. The person on the morning shift also was very kind. There were eaten Sunflower seeds at the bottom of my bed.
The location is close to the high way easy if it's just to continue traveling. The breakfast is simple but ok. The door was almost falling apart, I guess with one shoulder push it's open. Because it's close to the high way you can hear the cars driving on the high way but when tired as I was it's no problem.
Good rate.
Got an upgrade to a king size bed. Great deal! Nice bathtub jacuzzi style.
Nothing Everything
I absolutely have not one good thing to say about this hotel or location! The room was not very clean at all! I figured if i rent a room i would be able to sleep in but that was not the case at all the curtains closed didn't even matter the sun beamed through the room, my wife shoes held the curtains closer to the wall. On the website it never said it was under construction so hearing the loud noises from all the machinery was beyond annoying!! The room was filled with roaches, the tv remote had no back, the batteries were held by tape, the shelves were extremely filthy. My wife did want a refund she said it was beyond ghetto but since we booked online we were told we couldnt have a refund. Never will i ever stay there again and the pictures online looks nothing like the actual hotel in person!
Super clean, close to nightlife, newly remodeled smaller rooms/bathrooms
Very comfortable beds. Surprisingly clean and modern. Very happy with the stay.
beds! very restful sleep room size is very small
Really nice
Very clean, new-feeling, well-appointed rooms. Excellent, smooth bed linens. Great bedding: the only time I can recall any hotel's blankets being heavy enough! Also very nice that breakfast was included, tho' it was carbs only. Coffee was good. Would have been perfect with the addition of (even) hard-boiled eggs. Being right across from the ice machine & the office's night window (Rm. 17), it was too noisy if I left my window open. Was ok with the A/C running & window closed, though. Bed was a little too firm for my taste, but the great bedding more than made up for that.
Nothing Bad staff bad service..all bad Never stay there..
The bed was comfortable They didn't open the pool until 10 a.m. so I didn't get a chance to even sit in the hot tub before we had to check out in the morning.
Took us FOREVER to check in, then the key they gave me was for a room that was already in use!
Very very clean, family run, nice area close to alot of shopping. Everything walkable. Quiet.
When first getting there i thought from the outside that i had made a mistake. While checking in the staff was friendly and hospitable. When entering the room I thought the worse and to my surprise the room was outstanding. Hardwood floors in the room and tile in the bathing areas. They were just putting in the HD and the scent of the room was basic but welcoming. The only thing I didn't like was their mandatory cleaning around 12pm-2pm. You are required to leave your room for the cleaning. So if you are staying more than one day you will be expected to leave. but when you return your room will be cleaned and fresh smelling.
They had a microwave and mini refrigerator Flat screen HD TV Very hard rough towels Baby spiders on the roof in the light bulbs Blankets were also uncomfortable
It was close to anything I needed....it was very quiet and the staff helped me with anything
location was the deciding factor. I booked a King bed for which a premium was charged, non-smoking room for which I had to sign a waiver ($100 if we violated). For one the room already smelled of smoke so we changed rooms, then the king bed was actually a queen (they argued that it is a standard king, and that there was no queens or standard booking option, which is clearly not the case, see kayak) therefore no money was refunded for the premium . It was extremely noisy, we could hear the neighbors and anything going on outside, the fridge inside the room made lots of noise (I unplugged it) and the AC unit did not really work (it was very loud as well and it was difficult to regulate, either it was on full power or off). The breakfast, they may as well not offer any, or call it something else. The staff was not helpful or accommodating at all. I would not stay here again.
Liked how comfortable bed was and cleanliness How far it was from Tyler mall
I liked the location and it was a good value. On top of the quoted rate they required a $100 deposit that I won't get back for a few days. I thought this was odd.
It was a great deal for the price! Overall the room was great. Mostly everything was updated and the furniture was very comfortable. There was even a little basket with the toothbrush, razor, and other essential items.
The room are excellent
The woman who works behind the counter was nice. I don't know what planet the other reviewers for this place are on. I booked this room based on reviews, but was horrified when I drove into this motel. It is in a VERY SCARY part of town. There was a homeless man sitting outside one of the rooms the entire time I was there. It is right next to tattoo and massage parlors. Everything in the room was very dated and there was no outlet by the sink. I was by myself for this stay as I was attending a conference, so I was very uneasy all night.
Clean, big rooms. Relatively quiet. No restaurant on premises or near.
Nice staff, clean rooms. Will definitely consider staying here again.
Close to downtown area. Location.
I liked the fact I was upgraded to the jacuzzi suite. The bed was also very comfortable with a good TV setup. There was no staff available to check me in when I arrived I literally had to seek someone out when I arrived. This occurred again upon leaving. When i would ask cleaning stag a question they didn't speak enough English to even understand this is not something which I'm opposed to however in a touristic setting where staff is already scarce I wasn't impressed. Also the vending machines had little options to begin with so when half the options including water was sold out I was ready to leave.
Enjoyed the stay quiet, location was good and price was great. Only thing i think it could use some new paint on the inside but that's about it.
Seems like someone has tried to clean it up... But it's in a hellhole of a neighborhood. Walls were VERY thin, and our neighbors were not upstanding citizens. Whole place just sketchy.
nothing The room was highly infested with roaches.
it was clean I'll give them that much but they seriously need to do some upgrading I've stayed at this hotel before, but this last time the quality has gone down. They used to offer a cable package, but now there's only like 20 channels. Their Wi-Fi is also so slow and the signal is so weak that you can't even use it. Don't plan on staying here if you want to be comfortable in your room. I had to check out early and go to the hotel down the street "Americas best value one". This other hotel was much nicer and the price was cheaper
It was close to great golf at Tukwet Canyon. Good hbo tv available Breakfast was poor - limited menu and very sugary.
Clean, quiet, and cheap.
Was close to UC Riverside The walls are very thin and the people upstairs were very noisy all night long and you could hear the traffic. The sheets were not clean and had stains on them .
Absolutely nothing Staff was unfriendly, only had a 24 hour room key that would lock you out, bed was unbearable to sleep on, not clean, small, ghetto surroundings ie drugs and prostitution and police showed up. Small bathroom.
It was in my price range. not expensive at all no I loved everything was awesome place to stay
the desk staff were good, but communication with other staff was difficult, not able to ask housekeeper for a washcloth or towel. also window was very drafty[ bed under window ] , what appeared to be a dealer hanging at the corner [ about 50 foot from hotel ] and loud traffic noise.
Price and the location The pool should be open later

Hi all!
My DH and I are going to be TTC baby #2 come the new year! We're very excited to have made the decision to start trying again after an eventful first birth at 25 weeks.
I am trying to decide where we should have this baby, KEMH (high risk care) or Mercy. The OB that delivered my DD at KEMH (Dr Wu) works primarily out of Mercy and I have PHI so it is an option. I thought Dr Wu was amazing and so I was looking for some information about the hospital.
If you had your bub at Mercy, what did you think of the rooms, nurses, food, visiting policy etc?
If you had a CS at Mercy, what was the policy regarding partners staying? How much extra did it cost?
If you've had a bub that needed some time in the nursery at Mercy how did you find the nursery and nurses? What gestation was your bub (if early) and how long did they stay?
I think that about covers everything! lol

- Abstract:
- Dielectric electro active polymers (DEAPs) change their shape and size under a high voltage or reversibly generate a high voltage when deformed [1,2]. One prominent method to make DEAPs performances more efficient is by adding suitable fillers [3,4]. Liquid silicone rubbers (LSRs) have relatively low viscosities, which is favorable for loading of inorganic fillers [5]. In this study, commercially available fillers, such as fumed silica (SiO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2), barium titanate (BaTiO3), copper calcium titanate (CaCu3Ti4O12, CCTO), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were added into the LSRs. The filled elastomers have both favorable properties and shortcomings. The results indicate that the hydrophobic rutile TiO2 nanofiller is a good candidate for achieving higher permittivity and breakdown, as well as favorable elastic modulus of the elastomers.

Teaching Torts as If the World Really Existed: Reflections on Harold Luntz's Contribution to Australian Law School Classrooms
Reg Graycar
The University of Sydney Law School
July, 23 2008
Melbourne University Law Review, Vol. 27, No. 3, pp. 677-696, 2003
Sydney Law School Research Paper No. 08/73
This article, which forms part of a festschrift published to mark his retirement, considers the contribution made by Harold Luntz to the teaching of torts in Australian law schools. The focus is on his co-authored text, 'Torts: Cases and Commentary', the fifth edition of which was published in 2002. The major contribution that this book makes is through its focus on the empirical context in which tort doctrine is developed and applied, and on the social context in which the rules operate. Drawing on the casebook's treatment of specific examples (such as tort liability for domestic violence and sexual assault, and possible remedies that might be available to the 'Stolen Generations' (the taking of Australian indigenous children from their families)), this article highlights the book's successful merging of detailed doctrinal issues with a critical and contemporary commentary on the limits of (tort) law.

I am feeling very anxious all the time, but know of no reason why I should be. Is this normal?
Generally speaking, it is not normal to feel anxious all the time.
For those who suffer with an anxiety disorder or a physical condition of which anxiety is a symptom (e.g. overactive Thyroid) it is sadly more common.
If you cannot identify a cause for your anxiety in your day to day life, we would recommend seeing your GP to rule out any medical reasons for your condition.

Not that we needed reminding after the extraordinary events of two years ago, when Wales scored 17 points in the last three minutes to snatch victory, but it is starting to look as though there is something special in the air when these Celtic rivals clash in Cardiff.
Wales set the second weekend of the RBS Six Nations Championship alight against Scotland, as they had the first against Ireland, and how it was needed after the fiasco in France on Saturday night. However you want to describe England's victory in Rome, the word majestic is not quite the right one.

In this issue of the Archives (p 1787), Whalen and Freeman report on seven years of experience with a home dialysis training program at the Veterans Administration Hospital and University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City. As the authors point out, the medical literature contains a number of earlier reports that testify to the feasibility of home dialysis for a substantial fraction of all patients requiring long-term maintenance dialysis as well as better survival and greater rehabilitation for this patient population compared with the center dialysis patients. It has been pointed out by some critics that this is not a fair comparison since the home dialysis population may represent a more favorable group as regards medical status as well as social and psychological adjustment. In any case the current report on home dialysis is not in itself unique when considered in the context of the European experience as

Scott O'Malia, a member of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, has introduced a test developed by the agency that is meant to define high-frequency trading. "Without a principled definition of what constitutes an HFT, any oversight scheme may inadvertently extend either too narrowly or too broadly unless the definition and behaviors are well understood," O'Malia wrote in a letter to an advisory committee.

|My cactus has smaller bits (pups?) growing on it and I want to remove them and repot them. How do I do this please? Is it the right time of year to be doing it? (I'm in UK)
Thank you
Jul 31, 2016 7:02 PM CST
| to NGA!
Some cactus lend themselves to being taken apart and re-rooting the pieces and some do not. Cactus that don't mind come apart easily on their own. Echinocactus oxygona and all the Prickly Pears come to mind. Anytime you have to use a knife to break apart a cactus, you are taking the risk of killing it.
I'm not sure what kind of cactus you have (maybe Mammillaria) but it is absolutely beautiful. Instead of taking it apart, lift it to pot rim level (add soil underneath) and enjoy your fabulous looking plant.

|Thank you, so it's best for the plant to leave it alone, as in not take the little ones off? I thought taking a knife to it was a bit extreme. I don't want to harm the plant. I'll repot the whole thing to a bigger pot and lift it to rim level, it's too big to stay in the pot it's in.
Thank you for your help.
Aug 1, 2016 9:46 AM CST
|If you can twist the pups off (because there is just a little connective tissure holding them on) or if they fall off, start new plants. But your cactus would be the envy of most of us who grow cactus and are trying hard to get them big and beautiful.
Don't pot up to a larger pot unless this one is tipping over. It looks like there is quite a bit or room in this one if you bring it up to the pot brim. Its okay if the plant top is wider than the pot. The danger of potting it to a larger pot is that more moisture will be held against the roots leading to root rot and death of the plant unless you are extremely careful. Also, you don't really want the stems of the cactus to lie on the soil surface - that could also cause rot.

|Thank you for your help Daisy. I have ordered some new cactus compost to lift all my cacti up to the top of their pots. I didn't know they lived better like that.
I have another question. This cactus has flowered previously. When the flowers died they fell out with what seemed to be plug attached. It left a small hole in the plant, is this normal? It took ages to heal over.
Aug 1, 2016 12:17 PM CST
|Did the 'plug' leave a wound? Or just a hole? Did you pull spent flowers off or let them drop on their own?
It would help if we knew what kind of cactus it is. Did you take a photo of the blooms? Where on the plant did the blooms originate from? Top in a ring, bottom randomly, at the base of the tubercles? Where the buds bristly, smooth, scaly?
Aug 1, 2016 11:09 PM CST
|That's a really nice cactus! I'd leave it!

The trio of bassist Torsten Muller, drummer Harris Eisenstadt and trombonist Paul Rutherford performing live at The Center for Contemporary Art in Sante Fe.
Rutherford / Muller / Eisenstadt
The Zone
Label: Konnex
Released in: Germany
"[...] Eisenstadt and his partners on The Zone are firmly in the category of the former. Recorded in front of an audience in Santa Fe, veteran trombonist Paul Rutherford keeps to soft bursts of notes, bassist Torsten Müller quietly bows and lightly bounces on and off his strings and Eisenstadt spends a lot of time gently tapping on the wooden edge of his drum. Barely perceptible squeaks contribute to the atmosphere, as if someone were scratching nylon with his fingernails. Chicago trombonist Jeb Bishop's liner notes express his admiration for Rutherford and a special appreciation for what's going on among the musicians and builds a convincing argument that you should listen again. Attention paid will be repaid. But this Zone is melody- and groove-free."-Jeff Stockton, All About Jazz
• Show Bio for Torsten Muller
"Torsten Müller (born November 25, 1957 in Hamburg, Germany) is a free improvising bassist in Vancouver, Canada. He plays a 5 string double bass. He lived in Bremen and Hamburg from 1976 to 2001, where he started his musical career and worked as a radio host and producer at Radio Bremen, a public radio and television broadcaster.
He came into the free improvised music scene in the mid 70s, first playing with Free Music Communion (an ensemble with guitarist Herbert Janssen and pianist Udo Bergner) recording three LPs on their own Fremuco Records label. He was a member of the large improvising ensemble King Ubu Orchestra for 10 years.
Torsten Müller has performed concerts all over the world with a diverse array of improvisers, including Evan Parker, John Russell, Jon Rose, Joelle Léandre, John Zorn, Arto Lindsay, Lol Coxhill, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Paul Lovens, Phil Minton, Charles Gayle, Melvin Poore, Paul Rutherford, Peter van Bergen and Alfred Harth.
He moved to Vancouver, Canada in 2001 where he has been performing at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival and acts as co-curator of the annual Time Flies Improvised Music Festival. He plays in various ensembles, including Vancouver based drummer Dylan Van Der Schyff's Bande X and his own ensemble, Hoxha, with British trombonist Paul Rutherford and Dylan Van Der Schyff."-Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsten_M%C3%BCller_(musician))

• Show Bio for Paul Rutherford
"Paul William Rutherford (29 February 1940 - 5 August 2007) was an English free improvising trombonist. Born in Greenwich, South East London, Rutherford initially played saxophone but switched to trombone. During the 1960s, he taught at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
In 1970, Rutherford, guitarist Derek Bailey and bassist Barry Guy formed the improvising group Iskra 1903, which lasted until 1973. The formation was documented on a double album from Incus, later reissued with much bonus material on the 3-CD set Chapter One (Emanem, 2000). A film soundtrack was separately released as Buzz Soundtrack. Iskra 1903 was one of the earliest free improvising groups to omit a drummer/percussionist, permitting the players to explore a range of textures and dynamics which set it apart from such other contemporary improvising ensembles as SME and AMM. The group's unusual name is the Russian word for "spark"; it was the title of the Iskra revolutionary newspaper edited by Lenin. The "1903" designation means "20th century music for trio"; occasionally Evan Parker played with the group (Iskra 1904) and Rutherford also at one point assembled a 12-piece ensemble called, inevitably, Iskra 1912. The group was later revived with Philipp Wachsmann replacing Bailey, a phase of the group's life that lasted from roughly 1977 to 1995; its earlier work is documented on Chapter Two (Emanem, 2006) and its final recordings were issued on Maya (Iskra 1903) and Emanem (Frankfurt 1991).
Rutherford also played with Globe Unity Orchestra, London Jazz Composer's Orchestra, Centipede, the Mike Westbrook Orchestra, and the Orckestra, a merger of avant-rock group Henry Cow, the Mike Westbrook Brass Band and folk singer Frankie Armstrong. He also played a very small number of gigs with Soft Machine. He is perhaps most famous for solo trombone improvisations. His album The Gentle Harm of the Bourgeoisie is a landmark recording in solo trombone and his 1983 Trio album Gheim, recorded at the Bracknell Jazz Festival is another acclaimed work.
Rutherford died of cirrhosis of the liver and a ruptured aorta on 5 August 2007, aged 67."-Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rutherford_(trombonist))

"Visiting Massoud's tomb" Afghanistan Things to Do Tip by LeeHarrison
Afghanistan Things to Do: 48 reviews and 51 photos
Ahmed Shah Massoud was the former Northern Alliance leader, foreign minister following the Soviet withdrawal, and the Mujahiddin's most famous leader. He was assasinated 2 days before 9/11and to many Afghans is the Martyr of all Martyrs. Around Kabul his face is everywhere.
The trip from Kabul to the Punjshir valley is a journey in itself. Numerous convoys of Soviets and Taliban that tried to enter the valley along this road were continuously ambushed due to narrow gorge the road cuts through. The Punjshir valley is a beautiful, fertile valley with barron mountains rising either side. The tomb has a beautiful location on a hill in the middle of the valley.
Address: The Panjshir Valley

Given the actual and expected inflation rate, GDP growth, draw the short-run Phillips Curve and find out growth rate of nominal GDP.
Suppose that natural real GDP is constant. For every 1 percent increase in the rate of inflation above its expected level, firms are willing to increase real GDP by 2 percent. The output ratio is initially 100 and the inflation rate equals 2 percent.
a) Based upon the preceding information, draw the short-run Phillips Curve.
b) Illustrate what is the growth rate of nominal GDP in the economy? An adverse supply shock raises the inflation rate associated with every output ratio by 3 percentage points.
c) Draw the new short-run Phillips Curve.
d) The government chooses to follow a neutral policy in response to this shock. What will be the growth rate of nominal GDP? What will be the new rate of inflation? What will be the output ratio?
e) If the government chose to follow an accommodating policy, what would be the new inflation rate? The output ratio? The growth rate of nominal GDP?
f) If the government chose to follow an extinguishing policy, what would be the new inflation rate? The output ratio? The growth rate of nominal GDP?

Sleigh Bells Unveil Reign of Terror Trailer
Varsity Captain of the Shred Squad, Sleigh Bells' Derek Miller.
The first Sleigh Bells album was called Treats, and it was a reign of terror. One of the best albums of 2010, the duo of ex-Poison the Well guitarist Derek Miller and siren vocalist Alexis Krauss bludgeoned us with those 11 tracks. Especially upon a visit to Respectable Street.
Now, the second Sleigh Bells album is actually called Reign of Terror. Process that for a moment. Reign of mother-trucking terror. If there's any excuse to pitch expectations unreasonably high for the group's sophomore set, let this stirring video featuring an intro to SOMETHING -- please let it resolve and build and eventually thrive -- do it for you.
Sleigh Bells - Reign of Terror from Mom+Pop on Vimeo.
No word yet on when this album will actually be terrorizing our ears. But as soon as that information is made public, Sound of the City and I would like to know.

How Two Artists Shaped an Innovative Musical
By MICHIKO KAKUTANI
rt isn't easy,'' sings a character in ''Sunday in the Park with George.'' ''Having just the vision's no solution,/ Everything depends on execution./ The art of making art/ Is putting it together/ Bit by bit . . .''
Putting together a Broadway musical, of course, is itself a highly strenuous art. Bit by bit, a show is assembled, piece by piece it emerges - the product of talent, hard work, carefully calculated choices and the fortuities of luck and timing. In the case of ''Sunday,'' the new Stephen Sondheim-James Lapine musical, the process took two years and involved an Off-Broadway workshop, as well as hectic revisions during rehearsals and previews. The story of that process is, at once, a story about the dynamics of collaboration between two gifted artists; and a story about how a work of art evolves from a few phrases jotted down on a yellow legal pad into a fully realized show, from a troubled production - with morale problems and poor word-of-mouth during previews - into a Broadway hit that has won both critical acclaim as a ground-breaking musical and popular support.
The original idea for ''Sunday,'' of course, came from Georges Seurat's famous painting ''A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,'' and the show not only depicts Seurat's creation of that canvas - in the first act, an empty white set is gradually transformed into the dazzling tableau of the painting itself - but also demonstrates how that painting will influence later generations, how art, like love, endures through time. As a note for ''Sunday,'' written by Mr. Sondheim nearly two years ago, reads, ''the show is, in part, about how creation takes on a life of its own; how artists feed off art (we off Seurat); the artist's relationship to his material.''
If the show, as currently staged, succeeds in fulfilling its creators' initial conception, however, the process by which Mr. Sondheim and Mr. Lapine executed their vision was hardly simple or straightforward. Indeed, ''Sunday'' - like many Broadway shows - grew slowly over many months, undergoing a complicated series of metamorphoses in its route to the Booth Theater.
Although ''Sunday'' would become increasingly linear in the process, increasingly centered around character, the collaborators's original intention was to do a highly formalized show - conceptual in form, stylized in manner. Both the writers, after all, entered their collaboration with reputations for innovative, unconventional work. Mr. Lapine had never worked on Broadway before, and in such plays as ''Photograph'' and ''Twelve Dreams'' had experimented with time and traditional dramatic structure. And Mr. Sondheim, who had worked with Hal Prince on such celebrated ''concept'' musicals as ''Follies'' and ''Company,'' has long been fascinated by the formal possibilities of the theater; and he hoped, with ''Sunday,'' to realize an old, unfulfilled ambition - to translate the musical form of ''theme and variation'' to the stage.
''Every time,'' he says, ''I listen to Rachmaninoff's variations on Paganini, I'm stunned by how it works, and I thought it would be a lot of fun to try theatrically. When we'd fastened on the idea of using Seurat's painting and showing how it was made for the first act, I was all excited because I thought the second act could be series of variations or comments on the painting - in some way, an answer to the first act.'' The second act, he speculated, might take a revue-like form, in which songs about different aspects of art would be addressed to the audience. Or, it might deal with a series of variations performed on Seurat's painting itself.
After discussions with Mr. Lapine, however, Mr. Sondheim says he decided that these schemes were impractical. ''Jim's first response,'' he recalls, ''was 'We must have a story, we must carry some kind of storyline from the first act or there'll be no focus of interest.' '' ''The danger always is to impose a form on material when you're just doing it because you like the form,'' the composer goes on. ''That's probably the greatest pitfall of all writing, as far as I'm concerned, but I am nevertheless constantly slipping toward that quicksand.''
If Mr. Sondheim's interest in structure and form was counterpointed, in this case, by Mr. Lapine's emphasis on narrative, the sensibilities of the two collaborators complemented one another in other ways as well. Whereas Mr. Sondheim is extremely attuned to the nuances of language and essentially writes for the ear, Mr. Lapine, who was trained as a graphic designer, tends to think in visual terms and writes for the eye. And whereas Mr. Sondheim prefers to write in a controlled, methodical manner, Mr. Lapine is inclined toward a more improvisatory approach, dashing off things quickly before going back to revise. It was these disparate impulses, combined with a set of shared instincts about the theater, that provided the chemical ingredients for their successful collaboration.
Before starting to write, Mr. Sondheim and Mr. Lapine held long ''spitballing'' sessions, in which they discussed philosophical points they wanted to make, ideas for dialogue and particular scenes, facts about Seurat's life and painting technique, even special effects that would be fun to include.
Mr. Lapine began writing in September of '82; and in order to give the show the feeling that it had been translated from the French, he tried to keep his language formal and simple. He avoided Latin-root words and contractions, and made the dialogue ''as sharp and pointed as possible.'' It was a style that also mirrored Seurat's painting technique - in which, from a distance, millions of dot-like brushstrokes in pure color mix together optically (ie. a red dot next to a blue dot gives the impression of purple) to create a glorious spectrum.
Seurat's technique also helped Mr. Sondheim find a musical tone for the show. Adept at writing in a variety of manners - from the highly sophisticated to the lightly humourous, from the personal to the parodic - he says he likes to write within a set of restrictions; and his earlier scores have often used a show's subject matter as a framework for composition. ''Follies,'' which narrated the reunion of several aging showgirls, used pastiches of old standards to recall the characters's pasts. ''Sweeney Todd'' employed a ''gnarled,'' operatic score to play off the grand guignol nature of its material. And ''Pacific Overtures'' featured open, stripped-down songs that captured the feeling of traditional Japanese music.
As for ''Sunday,'' says Mr. Sondheim, he sought an analogue for Seurat's use of pure color in the use of diatonic - rather than chromatic - harmonies and simple triadic forms; at one point, he even toyed with the idea of composing the entire score on the white keys of the piano. ''The idea was to keep the music open and pure the way the painting is,'' he explains, ''and to give it a shimmer. I was also fiddling with chord clusters, because that seemed to me some kind of possible analogue to Seurat's close juxtaposition of different colored dots.''
Another aural equivalent of Seurat's color scheme, Mr. Sondheim discovered, could be found by repeating musical motifs, and certain key words and phrases, throughout the score - much the way he did in ''Sweeney Todd.'' The romantic section of the opening song (''Sunday in the Park with George''), for instance, is developed further in a subsequent number (''Color and Light''), which then becomes the basis for a later song (''We Do Not Belong Together''), which, in turn, informs the show's penultimate number (''Move On''). As a result, what may initially sound like a sequence of separate numbers actually connects, like the painter's dots, to form a highly patterned score that binds the story together, and also grows in resonance with the progress of the show.
Since he prefers to ''interpret,'' rather than wholly invent a character, Mr. Sondheim usually asks his collaborator to overwrite, so that he can then ''raid'' the script for his lyrics - a method that ultimately helps to integrate song and dialogue into a seamless show. In the case of ''Sunday,'' Mr. Lapine filled locations for songs in his script with long stream-of-consciousness monologues, which Mr. Sondheim intended to draw upon for his songs.
There were difficulties, however. Mr. Sondheim worried that his own colloquial, conversational use of language would clash with Mr. Lapine's more poetic usage; that his songs, consequently, would ''tear the extremely delicate fabric of Jim's prose - have a kind of rape effect.'' He also found that Mr. Lapine's use of language was ''so meticulously worked out for the ear, that by merely changing one syllable - to make it work musically - I would kill the entire phrase.'' In the end, he used little of Mr. Lapine's prose in writing his lyrics; what he did appropriate, he underscored and used as little dialogue passages within the songs. By last summer when ''Sunday'' began workshop performances at Playwrights Horizons, he had completed half a dozen numbers for the first act.
In deciding to develop ''Sunday'' at Playwrights - a nonprofit, Off Broadway theater - Mr. Lapine and Mr. Sondheim were able to circumvent the economic pressures and high-visibility of usual Broadway tryouts; and present their show to a small audience, limited to the theater's subscribers. They would use this audience's reactions as a guide, when they began reworking the show in the fall.
During the workshop production, the first act already encapsulated the basic storyline of the current production. It told the story of Seurat, an artist who, like many of the heroes in Mr. Sondheim's shows, experiences the world as a disconnected observer. He is so obsessed with his painting that he neglects his mistress, Dot, and she eventually goes off to America with a pastry baker, who is more devoted to her emotional needs.
In the show's Playwrights Horizons incarnation, however, this love story was interrupted by lengthy digressions about the people whom Seurat painted in ''La Grande Jatte.'' As Mr. Lapine saw it, the figures - that were frozen by the painter's art into silent, decorous poses - were, in real life, a raucous crew, all with messy little stories of their own. And in this version of the show, several of these people (a boatman, a nurse, a German couple and a soldier) not only had extended scenes, but also sang fairly lengthy songs.
Though these sequences had plenty of whimsical charm, audiences grew impatient waiting for George and Dot to reappear; and during the fall Mr. Sondheim and Mr. Lapine tried re-routining the act in order to make the peripheral characters's stories seem less intrusive. Mr. Sondheim also replaced a big romantic song sung by one of these characters with a lighter number.
During Broadway rehearsals, they realized that with the first act already running an hour and 44 minutes, more radical surgery was called for. So, as they continued to build up the parts of George and Dot, they trimmed the minor characters further, eventually reducing them to sharp, bright cameos with a few lines to sing. Along the way, several songs were entirely dropped.
Other ideas and theatrical conceits would fall by the wayside as well. Some notions - for instance showing how Seurat's other paintings might have been created - were edited out because they resulted in unnecessary asides. And some - like an elaborate series of costume changes, depicting the differences between the characters in real life and the characters in the painting - were discarded as too expensive to realize on stage. As Mr. Lapine recalls, ''Part of the problem in writing the show was the wealth of things we wanted to say. Later, when we put the show on its feet, I think my reaction was 'God, it's about too many things.' So a lot of the later decision making was about honing it down, making it specific.''
If work on the first act had mainly entailed cutting and shaping, the second act, which had been performed only three times at Playwrights, was still in need of more drastic revision. As ''Sunday'' went into Broadway rehearsals, Act II included only two new songs; and it would remain in a state of flux through previews.
One of Mr. Lapine's earliest versions of Act II had traced great moments in the painting's history, taking it from France to The Art Institute of Chicago, where it currently hangs. This historical approach was quickly abandoned as too time-consuming, and the act now cuts directly to contemporary times, depicting a willfully trendy art world - in which the word ''image'' refers to an artist's public persona, rather than to what he creates on canvas. These modern-day scenes serve as an ironic contrast to Seurat's more innocent world, depicted in Act I, but if this refracting of time past through the flawed lens of the present recalls some of Mr. Sondheim's earlier shows, there is an important difference. While the characters in ''Follies'' and ''Merrily We Roll Along'' used the past as a means of measuring their loss of youthful idealism, the hero in ''Sunday's'' second act uses the past as a means of finding redemption.
This central character is another artist named George, who may or may not be Seurat's great-grandson, and as Act II developed, he would gradually grow in stature and importance. Indeed the writers found that by humanizing his dilemmas, they were able to not only dramatize their own artistic concerns - one of his songs refers specifically to the problems of an artist who works in a popular, big-budget medium like show-business - but also broaden an audience's ability to relate to the show. A contrast between young George and his distinguished ancestor was soon established: Seuret, who had been unable to connect emotionally with those who loved him, never suffered doubts about his artistic vision; young George, on the other hand, is capable of sustaining personal relationships but is uncertain about his work.
For a long time, the actual nature of that work was unclear. At first, George was to be a performance artist, with a performing arts troupe, but as Mr. Lapine points out, that ''made him too laughable a figure.'' Next, he became a holography expert (holograms, which use light to create 3-dimensional images, are modern analogues of sorts to Seurat's experiments with color) - an identity that was abandoned when it became clear that holograms would not work on stage. In the end, he turned into a creator of ''chromolumes'' - machine-like sculptures that employ lasers and light.
Since they had devoted much of the rehearsal period to shaping up the first act, Mr. Lapine and Mr. Sondheim found themselves considerably behind schedule with the second half of the show. In fact, as ''Sunday'' began Broadway previews on April 2, Act II was still missing two songs and the collaborators had yet to settle on a satisfactory final scene.
To make matters worse, there were a host of technical adjustments to be made with the show's special effects, difficulties with amplification, and a growing morale problem in the company. The actors - many of whom had already seen their Act I roles diminished - were faced with daily changes in the second half of the show, and during early previews had to contend with dispiriting audience reaction as well. ''Steve and I had to explain to the company that it was just not the kind of show audiences were used to seeing,'' recalls Mr. Lapine, ''and that it was important to take pride in it.''
The opening was postponed from April 23 to May 2; and a turning point came on April 20, when two new songs were put into the show. A veteran of out-of-town tryouts, with something of a reputation for procrastination, Mr. Sondheim was used to making last-minute changes - he wrote the final number of ''Company'' (''Being Alive'') and the opening number of ''A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum'' (''Comedy Tonight'') while the shows were on the road - and with ''Sunday'' he was late in completing the score to the second act.
Rich in character and information, the composer's writing has always been distinguished for brilliantly serving the dramatic context of an individual show; and in the case of ''Sunday,'' the missing two songs (''Children and Art'' and ''Lesson N8'') not only anchored the second half of the show thematically, but were also vital in fleshing out the character of young George and communicating his emotional plight.
In fact, once ''Children and Art'' and ''Lesson N8'' went in, the emotional arc of the story suddenly seemed complete, and Mr. Lapine - who, as both director and librettist, was rewriting, as well as restaging sequences and giving the actors notes - could concentrate on helping the actors polish their performances.
He and Mr. Sondheim also continued to fiddle with the final scene of the show. A tableau featuring the entire company had already been rejected as being too similar to the ending of the first act. And another scene - in which the young George returns to the island of La Grande Jatte, is handed a sketch pad by a little girl and sits down to draw his version of the island - was discarded as too literal and didactic. ''It would have spelled everything out,'' says Mr. Lapine, ''and we wanted an ending that would be sort of ineffable. I think both Steve and I really like mystery. We like unexplained things.''
Indeed much of the fine-tuning that took place during the preview period had to do with the writers' attempts to balance their own love of mystery with the audience's needs and expectations. ''It's wonderful to be intrigued in the theater,'' explains Mr. Sondheim, ''It's just awful to feel baffled. It's finding that line where everything isn't exactly explained, and yet doesn't rouse hostility in the audience because they're confused.'' Additional suggestions about clarity and focus came from the collaborators' professional friends - including Michael Bennett, Hal Prince, Tom Stoppard, John Guare and Peter Shaffer, who saw the show late in previews.
At some point, says Mr. Lapine, ''the one thing you don't want to do is go off and keep rewriting. If something's not quite right, it's often about modulating what's already there.'' During the final two weeks of previews, this was largely done by perfecting technical aspects of the show - highly important in a production as atmospheric as ''Sunday.'' Numbers were ''buttoned'' - that is, their beginings and ends were defined by lighting, musical and blocking changes - and scene to scene transitions were fine-tuned.
As opening night approached and the process of putting together ''Sunday'' came to a close, Mr. Lapine says he began to feel ''an energy in the house between the actors on stage and the audience.'' And bit by bit, as the the pieces of the show clicked into place, he and Mr. Sondheim were also able to step back a little, and see the show as something separate - as something created and whole. ''It's like making a painting,'' says Mr. Lapine. ''You go through the process of doing what you do, and then finally, you just have to put it up there and hope others respond. The irony is, you want it to look effortless, and to get that, it's such hard work.''

Silver screen to pay homage to NeellohitPrithvijit Mitra | TNN | Oct 29, 2012, 03.20 AM IST
KOLKATA: The Kolkata International Film Festival, set to be inaugurated by megastars Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, is likely to pay tribute to late author Sunil Gangopadhyay by screening films based on his stories. This will be the first occasion on which a tribute will be paid to an Indian author at the festival. Earlier, retrospectives of films on books by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Dostoyevski and Kafka have been screened at the film fest.
In keeping with the film festival's policy to flag off the event with a 'happy' inaugural film, the festival committee has zeroed in on Iranian film A Separation which may be screened at the Netaji Indoor Stadium on November 10. A poignant tale of an estranged couple who struggles to cope with separation, the film is a winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival and the BBC Four World Cinema award besides a string of prizes around the globe. The festival, set to be inaugurated by megastars Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, is also likely to screen films based on Sunil Gangopadhyay's stories.
This will be the first occasion on which a tribute will be paid to an Indian author at the festival. Earlier, retrospectives of films on books by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Dostoyevski and Kafka have been screened at the film fest.
Last year, the organizers had changed the inaugural film at the last moment. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee had apparently wished the festival to begin on a cheerful note since the inaugural film was being screened to a much larger audience at the Netaji Indoor Stadium for the first time. The Magicians was hence chosen because of its happy theme. This year, too, the same logic has been applied, said sources.
"A Separation is a film with a positive message. The idea is to start off with a happy film, so it was chosen," said a member of the film festival committee. Questions are, however, being raised on whether the film is actually 'happy'.
The film by noted Iranian director But the film by noted Iranian director
Asghar Farhadi is a rather grim account of a husband and a wife wanting desperately to go their own way. Even after the couple is denied a formal divorce by a court, their paths keep crossing even after they are denied a formal divorce by a court
. Though they do stick together during trying times when the husband is accused of assaulting a woman, but eventually go for a legal separation yet again
. It's being asked if the film is happy enough.
While it has a serious theme and focuses on social and relationship issues, it leaves behind a happy message, feels the committee member.
"It's not a light film, but carries a very positive message which should go down well with the audience and not leave them feeling sad," the member added.
The other reason behind the film's selection is that it's an Asian film that has been feted across the world. According to the film festival committee, it should pave the way for more Asian films that deal with local as well as international issues, according to the film festival committee
. "The inaugural film has not yet been formally decided but it's likely to be an Asian film," said Haranath Chakrabarty, a member of the festival committee.
Besides, Sunil Gangopadhyay admirers will also be in for a treat at the film fest. Under its tribute section, the festival is likely to pay homage to the departed author with a bouquet of films based on his stories.
"We are indeed considering the idea and the films could be finalized shortly," said Chakrabarty. Films like Aranyer Din Ratri and Pratidwandi by Satyajit Ray and Moner Manush by Gautam Ghose could figure in the section. There could also be seminars on Gangopadhyay's works. While earlier festivals have witnessed screenings of films based on books by noted foreign authors, no Indian writer has made it to the tribute section so far.
The decision to include Gangopadhyay was taken after the city went into a mourning following his death last week. "Honestly, few had expected this massive upsurge of emotion. So, even though the government's initial response was tepid, it had to take note of the popular sentiment. Kolkata can't have a film festival with Gangopadhyay now," said a film analyst.
Director Gautam Ghose lauded the idea. "I would be happy if they screen Dekha which was jointly scripted by Gangopadhyay and myself. And, of course Moner Manush," he said.
Another first at this festival will be the screening of films at Netaji Indoor. The arena is being spruced up for the shows and could host around half-a-dozen of them. Facilities are being augmented at the stadium to accommodate an audience of 10,000.

A quick note about the reviews on this site: I am an affiliate for every product I review. The vendors of these products give me them without charge in order for me to test them. However all my reviews are done as honestly as possible and I make no promises to the vendor prior to writing my review. Should you click a link on this site that takes you to a paid product this link will be an affiliate link and I will be paid a percentage of the sales price should you decide to purchase that product.
