The English Heritage Lottery Fund is currently revitalising 150 parks across the country through the Urban Parks Programme, instigated in January 1996. Born out of concern about the declining state of many of our parks, particularly those with historical importance, the scheme has now been cited as the most successful project ever undertaken by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Last August, the Emslie Horniman Pleasance Park in London's Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea was the first in the scheme to reach completion. Dating back to 1911, the park grew out of the charitable intentions of Emslie Horniman, a local businessman. Horniman got the idea of a public park from Sister Ruth, renowned in the area for her work with the poor. He purchased an acre of land in Kensal Town in North Kensington and "dedicated it in perpetuity to the people of London as a recreation ground".
Emslie Horniman was not alone in his philanthropic efforts, as Dr Stuart Harding, creator of the Urban Parks Programme, points out. "Most of our parks were laid out 100 years ago and funded by paternalistic businessmen, enlightened councillors and concerned locals, who saw a desperate need to counteract the squalid urban conditions and general hideousness of life at that time."
By the Nineties Emslie Park, along with many public spaces around the country, had fallen into dereliction. Until about 25 years ago, urban parks were maintained to an acceptable standard. But by the Seventies a process of alarming decline was well established. Historically, this makes perfect sense: at weekends, mass ownership of cars led to a public exodus to the country, which made the park a second choice for recreational pursuits. And park departments were increasingly handed over to the Leisure Services, whose high-profile art galleries and sports centres took financial precedence over the parks. A final nail in the coffin was Mrs Thatcher's act allowing contractual workers to tender for maintenance, forcing traditional wardens and gardeners into redundancy. For all these reasons, the value of the park became forgotten. Dr Harding concludes: "They were very much a soft target - until they simply became scary places to be." The Emslie Horniman was no exception.
Kensal Town is sandwiched between the Grand Union Canal and the Great Western railway. It is a pocketed area, geographic-ally and socially isolated from the rest of Kensington, which has suffered architecturally from an absence of planning restrictions since the war. The Victorian terraces that once defined a predominantly residential community are largely gone, replaced by a motley bouillabaisse of council housing and office buildings. The result was a disparate community consisting of non-residential workers and multi-racial residents. With few local amenities and little social cohesion, Kensal Town became a post-industrial zone that lay easy victim to vandalism, mugging and drug-abuse. If ever there was a boil on the Royal Borough's bottom, it was Kensal.
And the council knew it. When riots erupted in nearby Notting Hill in the Sixties, the area was given priority attention, not only by local but by central government. North Kensington was targeted as a volatile area of dense population, social deprivation and high unemployment among a multi-ethnic community, and the council's budget was dramatically increased. New housing was erected on the old bomb sites and housing associations were given increased funds to improve their homes. A race-relations policy was introduced to encourage communication between police and ethnic groups. A Task Force and a City Challenge group were set up to highlight areas in most need of funding.
Given this kind of background, it is not surprising that when North Kensington City Challenge came up with a proposal to rejuvenate Emslie Park in 1996, it was met with universal approval. Here was a perfect vehicle to give substance to the council's good intentions. Serendipitously, the proposal coincided exactly with the formation of the Urban Parks Programme. On top of this was Emslie Horniman's choice of designer.
The Horniman family patronised the acclaimed Arts & Crafts architect Charles Voysey for years - in 1894 he designed Lowicks, a country house, for them, and in 1906, the Garden Room, their home in Chelsea. He also created the walled gardens and pergolas for both these homes, and they chose him to lay out their public park. It was this decision that today made it so supremely eligible for public funding - as the only park Voysey ever designed.
But, as Caroline Wilson (an associate at Julian Harrap Architects, which was called in to renovate the Voysey garden) explains: "When it came to the park, Voysey turned his usual country house design inside out." His gardens typically followed a pattern of strict formality around the house and became gradually wilder towards their boundaries. In the case of Emslie Park, the opposite is true. Here, the walled garden and two pavilions act as a sort of urban periphery, with an explosion of multi-coloured herbaceous planting at its centre. This was the work of designer Madeline Agar and was considered unusual even at the time. Her original plans were discovered among the council's records and were much referred to during the renovation.
Studio E Architects, an Anglo-Polish firm, was employed to oversee the regeneration of the rest of Emslie Park with an orig- inal budget of pounds 350,000. "From an early stage," explains Andrzej Kuszell, a partner in Studio E, "it became clear that the money would be best spent mounting a Lottery bid. The wonderful thing was that Emslie qualified for three separate grants - Sports, Heritage and Arts." All applications were successful. With a final budget of pounds 2.05m, Kuszell and his team collaborated closely with local interest groups, businesses and schools, the Notting Hill Carnival office, the Institute for the Blind, local artists and the newly formed Friends of Emslie Horniman and the refurbishment began.
The site had fallen into appalling disrepair, and opinions from all sides were damning. Linda Devo, the new chairman of Friends of Emslie Horniman, described the park as "horrible" when she moved there six years ago. "It was basically used as a car-park for the Carnival. I tried to sit there in the summer, but it was just an unpleasant place to be." Studio E's report was equally scathing: "There is no sense of communal ownership. The all-weather sports pitch is unusable for any serious sporting intentions, the Voysey garden has lost all its subtler facilities, and mothers and toddlers find themselves using the park alongside muggers and drug-abusers."
The park opened just before last year's Carnival. Today, its radical design stands testament to the tenacity of local people and the scruples of the professionals involved. Studio E collaborated with the artist Peter Fink to administrate the integration of architecture, landscape and art features: his influence can be seen in the coloured safety surfacing of the playground and five lighting columns. Meanwhile, 11 interactive play features in the circles carved out of the playground walls were commissioned from local artists.
"In design terms," says Devo, "I think the council felt that if the Voysey garden was restored then it wasn't so important for the rest to be traditional." And traditional it certainly is not, although the Voysey garden remains the anchor of Emslie Horniman, its architectural references echoed in the curve of each flowerbed, the swoop of each wall and the angles of the stone and gravel paths. For the rest, fencing, gates and steel light frames establish a contemporary theme throughout. Bright swathes of yellow, scarlet and blue run through the greys and greens and merge into a kaleidoscope in the play area, where rubberised mounds and mouldings define a miniature landscape.
"I call it the natural meets the Teletubbies," says Tom the warden, from his state-of-the-art warden's tower. "The architects were great at listening to the problems and complaints as well as the ideas of the community, and responding to them."
The carnival, for example, Emslie's most loyal guest, has not been ignored. Land was sacrificed to allow a broadening of the street to the north, providing a paved stage for the steel band event held in the weekend before Carnival. The pavement's curve mirrors the scooped bowl of raised land around it, with granite steps that act as a natural auditorium. Beyond this, a stretch of green bordered by poplar trees leads to the Quiet Garden - a corner of scented plants and smooth pebbles, with poetry inscribed on cobbles and rocks.
The new all-weather sports pitch was relocated to the south of the park to make it closer to residential estates, schools and the adventure playground. Illuminated by night and now much-used, it offers a sense of security absent in its former location.
Asked whether he's seen a change, Tom replies without hesitation: "Oh, yes. The mums can sit and chat and the kids love it. We have on average two architects a week visiting the Voysey garden, there's a blind man who comes to run his hands over the glass pebbles and even the small kids ask if they can use the Quiet Garden. This park is proof that people care about their community."
And, if confirmation of success is lack of vandalism, then the park has triumphed. "All we've found is a little bit of graffiti and we will have to apprehend some children," he says. "They want to look cool in front of their mates, but when you make them realise they are destroying something for themselves and that the council and consequently their parents will have to pay for it - that seems to get through to them." The philosophy of taking pride in common ownership is fundamental to Tom's successful discipline.
As a constantly accessible communal facility, parks will always be more symbolic of social and cultural unity than any build- ing could be. Emslie Horniman's rebirth ha#s many to thank, but its future lies in the hands of its creators as well as its users - for they are now one and the same. If Emslie has proved that local pride can be fired by a tiny park, then the future for Britain's parks and their 8 million daily users has new hope. It may be surprising that a park devised by a businessman and a nun at the start of the century, should reach its prime at the end of it. But only time will tell whether it remains a benchmark for urban parks everywhere.

The Commerce Department this morning (May 16) reported that starts on new homes rose 2.5% in April, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,528,000 compared to the revised March estimate of 1,491,000. Single-family starts also were up 1.6% to a seasonally adjusted rate of 1,225,000 compared to March's 1,206,000. The rate for units in buildings with five or more units was 267,000.
Starts, however, were 16.1 percent below the revised April 2006 rate of 1,821,000. Regionally, starts were up 31% in the Northeast and 7.8% in the West and down 14% in the Midwest and 0.1% in the South. SEE DATA HERE
Building permits, on the other hand, dropped 8.9% to a seasonally adjusted 1,429,000 in April from March's 1,569,000, the largest drop since the last housing recession. On a year-over-year basis, permits were down 28.1% from 1,987,000 in April 2006. Single-family authorizations in April were at a rate of 1,063,000, 6.0% below the March figure of 1,131,000. Authorizations of units in buildings with five units or more were at a rate of 306,000 in April.
Home completions in April were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,523,000, a drop of 5.8% from March's 1,616,000 and 26.0% below the revised April 2006 rate of 2,058,000. Single-family housing completions in April were at a rate of 1,261,000, down 3.4% from March. The April rate for units in buildings with five units or more was 222,000.
The National Association of Home Builders saw the numbers in a positive light, pointing to the decline in permits as a more reliable indicator of what is going on in the marketplace than housing starts, which will increase inventory at some point. "The pattern of building permits clearly shows that the dramatic downward correction in housing production still is underway," said NAHB chief economist David Seiders. "Home buyer demand has been sent into another down leg by the abrupt tightening of mortgage lending standards, and there is an increasingly heavy supply of vacant housing units on the market. Under these conditions, builders are cutting back on new construction and intensifying their efforts to bolster sales and limit cancellations."

an ikea fabric gem
When shit hit the fan a couple of weeks ago, I did what any self-respecting 29 year old would do under the circumstances: I went home to my mama. While I was there we took some time out from my whingeing to do a bit of shopping, including the all important trip to IKEA. Some people go to the museum or the zoo to bond with the ones they love. I drag them to the mecca of all things particleboard.
My biggest find of the day was an awesome rainbow stripe fabric that I thought could look great on my dining room chairs. At 6.99 a yard and super thick, it seemed almost too good to be true. I snapped up a couple of yards, but once I got home I started to wonder if maybe my "this budget find is actually super chic" radar had been way off...
Then, a couple of days ago, Jamie of Furbish posted this pic on instagram and her blog:
Instincts. Confirmed.
If you didn't know that fabric was IKEA, you would never suspect it was so well priced. That chair is amazing, no bones about it.
I'm still not sure it's the perfect pick for my purposes (it may just be too much, we'll see), it's just nice to get that little "you got this girl" confirmation, AND to find such a gem at such a great price point. Part of me is seriously considering hoarding a few more yards for future purposes. Can you imagine an interestingly-shaped kids headboard in this? Sublime.
Of course, that would mean more fabric storing, and I'm already foisting old pieces off on friends. Anyone up for a little remnant sale? There may be some Kelly W. and Martin Lawrence Bullard in there just waiting to be loved...

Gotta love some validation! I had a moment of that a few weeks ago when I realized the stools I use in my kitchen were chosen by Martha, queen of all things home, for her own kitchen.
Love the fabric on that bergere chair.

Sea Ray has been setting the standards for express cruisers for some 30 years, so it was hardly a surprise that the 300 Sundancer introduced in 2002 delivered just the right blend of style, comfort, and performance. Sea Ray's dedication to quality is clearly evident in this boat, from the sporty burlwood dash to her near-flawless gelcoat and premium hardware. Below decks, the 300 Sundancers interior is brightly lit and completely open. High-gloss cherry paneling and mirrored accents highlight a decor rich in luxury and sophistication. The salon settee converts to a berth, an island berth forward, and the stateroom aft of the companionway steps doubles as a secondary conversation area. The Sundancer's cockpit layout is arranged with U-shaped seating aft for four, a stylish dual helm seat with flip-up bolster, and a full wet bar. On the downside, the side decks are quite narrow, and engine access is a little difficult. This 300 Sundancer powered with twin Mercruiser 5.0L MPI will cruise 25 knots with a top speed of 34 knots.
This Boat is Immaculate! Ready for the water! Tons of Recent Service! All records kept!

Thankfully, eliminationist, racust fantasies like this one remain outside the political mainstream.
Rightist Moralizing
Posted by bloggernacleburner in Economy, Poverty on March 20, 2009
Frankly, if our response to economic crisies were 'You should have planned better' we would probably have a revolution on our hands. David Neiwert at Ornicus makes a very good case for the idea that most of the ideologues on the right have a solid core of eliminationism running through their ravings, cumulating in policies that would inevitibly lead to outright class and racial warfare.

FLAG-tag, or FLAG octapeptide, is a polypeptide protein tag that can be added to a protein using recombinant DNA technology. It can be used for affinity chromatography, then used to separate recombinant, overexpressed protein from wild-type protein expressed by the host organism. It can also be used in the isolation of protein complexes with multiple subunits.
A FLAG-tag can be used in many different assays that require recognition by an antibody. If there is no antibody against the studied protein, adding a FLAG-tag to this protein allows one to follow the protein with an antibody against the FLAG sequence. Examples are cellular localization studies by immunofluorescence or detection by SDS PAGE protein electrophoresis.
The peptide sequence of the FLAG-tag from the N-terminus to the C-terminus is: DYKDDDDK (1012 Da). It can be used in conjunction with other affinity tags, for example a polyhistidine tag (His-tag), HA-tag or Myc-tag. It can be fused to the C-terminus or the N-terminus of a protein. Some commercially available antibodies (e.g., M1/4E11) recognize the epitope only when it is present at the N-terminus. However, other available antibodies (e.g., M2) are position-insensitive.

RELA (v-rel reticuloendotheliosis viral oncogene homolog A), also known as Nuclear factor NF-kappa-B p65 subunit, or Transcription factor p65, is a transcription factor expressed in growth plate chondrocytes where it facilitates chondrogenesis. The v-rel avian reticuloendotheliosis viral oncogene homolog A (RELA) gene encodes the major component of the NF-?B complex. NF-kappaB is a generic name for an evolutionarily conserved transcription-factor system that contributes to the mounting of an effective immune response but is also involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, development, and apoptosis. The implication of NF-kappaB in central biological processes and its extraordinary connectivity to other signaling pathways raise a need for highly controlled regulation of NF-kappaB activity at several levels. The mammalian Rel/NF-kappaB family of transcription factors, including RelA, c-Rel, RelB, NF-kappaB1 (p50 and its precursor p105), and NF-kappaB2 (p52 and its precursor p100), plays a central role in the immune system by regulating several processes ranging from the development and survival of lymphocytes and lymphoid organs to the control of immune responses and malignant transformation.

Product Notes
New York singer-songwriter Summer Pierre is a painter, a poet, a cartoonist, and a skilled songwriter of remarkable passion, humor, and wit. She writes honest and captivating anthems about heartbreak and cross-country soul-searching. Combining the energy of rock with the lyrical candor of contemporary folk, Summer's music is Americana straight from ink-stained calloused fingertips. Summer was born into a musical family-her father is a musician and her mother rigs on rock tours (Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and others). It wasn't until college, however, while working on a thesis about women in rock, that Summer first tried her hand at songwriting and playing guitar, teaching herself how to play by writing a song for each new chord she learned. Before long, Summer was performing in Boston-area clubs and coffeeshops. An engaging and charismatic performer, she would make new fans every time she played, earning praise from audience and fellow musicians alike. She has opened for musicians such as Lori McKenna and Mary Lou Lord. She has been a regular performer at Club Passim's Campfire festivals, and was chosen to play a showcase at the 2002 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. After a successful stint living and performing in her native state of California, Summer has relocated to Brooklyn, and now plays regularly throughout New England. Her debut album Far From Here, released in September of 2004 on Boston indie That Promising Seadog Media, is a fully realized rock album, complete with rugged, energetic production that perfectly captures the scope and poetry of her songwriting. The album features several celebrated New England musicians, including producer Rob Laurens, ex-members of New Hampshire roots-rockers Say Zuzu, and comedic folk phenom Faith Soloway. Although best known for her music, Summer is still an active visual artist. Her watercolors are featured on Eddy Dyer's 1999 album Explosion Alone (to be reissued Summer 2006). Her own projects include an annual illustrated Great Gals calendar, celebrating women throughout history. She is one of many talented women artists featured on the website Another Girl at Play (another.girlatplay.com).

An Unusually Apropos 1776 For Our Times At PB Dramaworks
A deeply polarized citizenry, partisans with irreconcilable ideas about the role of government, a stalled deliberative body, confusion, anxiety. Sound familiar? The current political climate has spurred Palm Beach Dramaworks to reinvent that July perennial musical 1776 to highlight the similarities between us and the Founding Fathers in its production July 1-24.
Dramaworks' 110 In The Shade Is Straight From The Heart
The modern musical has its glories, but none unabashedly embrace pure feeling in quite the way Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt did in the 1960s. So be thankful for Palm Beach Dramaworks' concert" series' courageous celebration of heartfelt sentiment in 110 In The Shade.

Beyond Bond: The alternative world of 007
My name is...?
When it came to saving the world, bedding the babes, breaking Q's gadgets, James Bond was the man, even if his tongue-in cheek adventures are a long way from the very real spy world of John le Carre and Harry Palmer.
Although Eon productions owned the movie rights to the Ian Fleming novels, it hasn't stopped film-makers from making a couple of unofficial Bond flicks as well as several interesting variations on the character. So here are some of the parodies, pastiches, parallels and strange oddities that make up this alternative world of 007!
Casino Royale (1954): Rediscovered after many years lost in the TV archives, this early adaptation of Fleming's first novel was an episode of a popular American drama anthology series called Climax (1954-58). Unrecognisable from the subsequent films, it follows the original story quite closely. Starring American actor Barry Nelson as CIA agent "Card Sense" Jimmy Bond, it relies more on drama and dialogue than action. Casino Royale was broadcast live so many of the faults that came with early live television are glaringly obvious with cramped low budget sets, technical limitations, missed lines and stiff acting adding to its curiosity value. Although he acquits himself well enough, Nelson lacks the special charisma needed for a good 007. The end result may not be great but it remains a valuable piece of Bond memorabilia.
Carry On Spying (1964): With the Bond series in full swing it was a matter of time before the Carry On gang made their own lampoon of the spy genre. The plot, daft as it was, is actually sound enough for a proper 007 movie as MI6's not-so-finest Desmond Simpkins (Kenneth Williams in fine nostril flaring mode) and three trainee agents pit their half-wits against The Society for the Extermination of Non-Conforming Humans (STENCH). It's typically silly stuff that features a great moment when one of the trainees (Charles Hawtrey) introduces himself as Bind. "James?" asks Simpkins. "No, Charlie!" replies Bind. What makes this punch line interesting is that Charlie Bind would return to the cinema a decade later.
Our Man Flint (1966): Hollywood was now getting in on the Bond act with the Matt Helm movie series (1966-69) and TV's The Man from U. N. C. L. E. (1964-68). But this effort is the ultimate of sixties cool with James Coburn in fine charismatic form as brilliant super-agent Derek Flint. Armed with an outstanding mind and a multi functioning lighter (Q take note!), Flint saves the world in grand style. Shame the sequel In Like Flint (1967) failed to repeat the winning formula. There is one scene were Flint briefly meets up with British agent 0008! The character is played by American actor Robert Gunner, who vaguely resembles Sean Connery. Best known as the astronaut who gets lobotomised in Planet of the Apes (1968), Gunner's brief career consisted mainly of bit parts. Vanishing from the screens shortly after Planet of the Apes, he died in 1982.
Casino Royale (1967): More spoofing, and this time it's an unofficial film version of the novel in which Sir James Bond (David Niven) comes out of retirement to battle against arch enemies SMERSH. With several writers and directors involved, plus an eclectic cast that includes Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, Orson Welles and Woody Allen, it must have been more fun to make than it was to watch. In fact the whole thing is rather stupid considering the talent involved. As with many a big budget stinker he made in his later years, Niven maintains his dignity throughout and Allen (as his nephew Jimmy Bond) provides a few priceless moments.
Operation Kid Brother AKA OK Neil Connery (1967): Even though Sean Connery was finished with Bond it did not prevent the producers of this crazy Italian spoof from exploiting younger brother Neil. Stepping into the breach as plastic surgeon/hypnotist Dr Neil Connery (you read that correctly), he is surrounded by Bond veterans Bernard Lee (looking hung-over), Lois Maxwell (who has more to do here then she ever did as Moneypenny), Daniela Bianchi, Adolfo Celi and Anthony Dawson. Sporting a goatee beard and a dubbed American accent (his character is supposed to be Scottish); Dr Connery is called into service after his brother, a famous spy (h'mmm!), goes missing. This incoherent mess is bad enough to be funny (but not very), and Neil lacks the looks, presence and talent of Sir Sean. Following his bland turn in The Body Stealers (1969), Connery returned to Edinburgh to resume his career as a builder and occasional bit part actor. One can only wonder what Sir Sean thought about this!
No 1 of the Secret Service (1977): When Roger Moore became 007, the series quickly veered into seventies camp, and as such spoofing what had now become a spoof seemed pointless. Nicky Henson's engaging turn as Agent Charles Bind (now where did I hear than name?) livens up this silly piece of cheap garbage. There is a Bond link with Geoffrey Keen in the M role, but otherwise this is a waste of time for all concerned.
Licensed to Love and Kill (1980): Believe it or not, No 1 of the Secret Service was successful enough to produce a thoroughly dreadful sequel. Replacing Henson as Bind is Gareth Hunt, who was a capable Bond type action man in The New Avengers (1976). Now starting to show his age, he walks through the role with no enthusiasm whatsoever, other than receiving his all important pay check (which can't have been much judging by the film's production values). Apparently a third film called Number One Gun (1990) starring Michael Howe as Bind remains unreleased. How thankful we are for small mercies!
Return of the Man from U. N. C. L. E.: The Fifteen Years Later Affair (1983): The original TV series, Starring Robert Vaughan as Napoleon Solo and David McCallum as Ilya Kuryakin, was the very height of camp spy spoofs. It made about as much sense as Batman but at least it was fun! Several episodes were also edited together for a half dozen feature films. Looking older and heavier, Vaughan and McCallum still retain that wonderful chemistry, which is just as well because this one-off TV movie lacks the old spark of the series. For a nice in-joke, George Lazenby guest stars as an immaculately dressed British agent driving a car sporting the initials 'J B'. I wonder what they stand for!
Never Say Never Again (1983): Released simultaneously with Octopussy (1983), this unofficial remake of Thunderball (1965) originated from a settlement of a lawsuit over the legal rights of Fleming's novel. Once again Sean Connery assumes his star-making role, and he certainly shows Roger Moore that nobody does it better than him. This is much grittier and realistic than the recent Bonds, but on the whole the film has an air of pointlessness about it, and Connery, charming though he is, looks old and tired. At least it's an improvement on his boring performance in Diamonds Are Forever (1971).
Johnny English (2003): The Austin Powers trilogy and Spy Hard (1996) more of less cornered the market in latter day spy spoofs, but this one is definitely more superior with Rowan Atkinson recreating his bumbling secret agent from the classic Barclaycard TV commercials. The plot itself wouldn't look out of place in a proper Bond film (in fact, Bond writers Neal Purvis & Robert Wade worked on the script) and Atkinson plays the whole thing completely straight – with hilarious results. The 007 link comes early on with Greg Wise doing an uncannily accurate Pierce Brosnan impression as Agent No 1. Interestingly enough, the long awaited sequel, Johnny English Reborn (2011), actually features Brosnan. James Bond working alongside Johnny English! Now that WOULD be something!

Beethoven lived with bipolar. So did Mahler, Schumann, Handel, and no end of composers and songwriters and musicians. Now that I have set the scene ...
A friend informed me that Yo-Yo Ma and his Goat Rodeo collaborators will be performing in Boston on Tuesday, and that the event will play live at theaters throughout the country. I have a board meeting that evening and will miss it. Curses.
A bit of background: Yo-Yo Ma is acknowledged as one of the world's finest classical cellists, but he has also collaborated with musicians across many genres. The ideal is a product that reflects the best of both worlds, but the hazards are legion. Way too many things can go wrong. Thus the Goat Rodeo title.
Goat Rodeo is an Air Force term to describe a difficult situation where everything has to go right in order for a plane to not drop out of the sky. A classical musician slumming with the boys is simply asking for trouble. Classical performers are notorious for playing and singing every note "correctly." If you want to hear something painful, check out Kiri Te Kanawa attempting to sing jazz.
On second thought, spare yourself.
Another hazard: Voices (including instrumental voices) rarely match up. Exhibit A is a John Denver-Placido Domingo paring that sounds good in theory until you flip on the "on" switch.
When the collaboration works, though - oh, my oh my. Yo-Yo is the master. He meets the other musicians on their terms. They meet him on his. The result transcends genres. This happened on his latest collaboration, Goat Rodeo, where Yo-Yo recorded with three bluegrass string musicians. The result is neither bluegrass nor classical - more like a new breed of string quartet music.
Trust me, Goat Rodeo is one of the prizes in my music collection.
A few days ago, I took a nap on the couch to Yo-Yo's recording of the Bach Cello Suites. I woke up in an unbelievably tranquil state of mind that lasted throughout the rest of the day. If I could only live every minute in this state.
My guess is that my sleep and semi-sleep alpha and delta states opened my brain to a type of healing I can only describe as "vibrational." But I won't over-think it - it just happened.
Music leads me into all kinds of profound inner experiences, from the sacred to just plain fun. Cello Suites one day, Louis Armstrong the next, some guy on a street corner with his saxophone a few days later. It's always been this way with me. Okay, I've rambled on long enough. Let's make this a very open-ended question:
Music and you - tell us about it.
Hint: To help you get started, why don't you pop on something right now? Then hit the comment button and describe your reaction to the music.

Troubled by the public perception of Glock as "that evil black plastic pistol," all new models will come in your choice of fuchsia or lavender. Hello Kitty decals sold separately.
Guessing... single stack 9mm in pocket carry size that's slightly smaller than the nano. possibly a .380 re-introduction?
The fact that "BIG" is all in caps to me seems significant. I'd say glock model 40 in a new caliber, or a carbine
My money is on some sort of online community. Look at their Facebook cover photo. http://www.triangletactical.net/2013/01/03/big-news-coming-from-glock/
I think it will be a new online community with probably a different website. Ecause Glock's website stinks. The high demand and short supply of all Glocks I think stopped production of anything new.
I heard Glock in Georgia was building a long distance shooting range at the facility. Hmmm, Glock rifle maybe?

Mums 4 Mums : structured telephone peer-support for women experiencing postnatal depression. Pilot and exploratory RCT of its clinical and cost effectiveness.
Caramlau, Isabela, Barlow, Jane, Sembi, Sukhdev, McKenzie-McHarg, Kirstie and McCabe, Chris. (2011) Mums 4 Mums : structured telephone peer-support for women experiencing postnatal depression. Pilot and exploratory RCT of its clinical and cost effectiveness. Trials, Vol.12 (No.1). Article 88. ISSN 1745-6215

BACKGROUND: Postnatal depression (PND) can be experienced by 13% of women who give birth, and such women often exhibit disabling symptoms, which can have a negative effect on the mother and infant relationship, with significant consequences in terms of the child's later capacity for affect regulation. Research has shown that providing support to mothers experiencing PND can help reduce their depressive symptoms and improve their coping strategies. The Mums4Mums study aims to evaluate the impact of telephone peer-support for women experiencing PND. METHODS/DESIGN: The study design adopts the MRC framework for the development and evaluation of complex interventions. Health visitors in Warwickshire and Coventry Primary Care Trusts are screening potential participants at the 8-week postnatal check using either the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS > = 10) or the three Whooley questions recommended by NICE (http://guidance.nice.org.uk/CG45). The Mums4Mums telephone support intervention is being delivered by trained peer-supporters over a period of four months. The primary outcome is depressive symptomatology as measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Secondary outcomes include mother-child interaction, dyadic adjustment, parenting sense of competence scale, and self-efficacy. Maternal perceptions of the telephone peer-support are being assessed using semi-structured interviews following the completion of the intervention. DISCUSSION: The proposed study will develop current innovative work in peer-led support interventions and telecare by applying existing expertise to a new domain (i.e. PND), testing the feasibility of a peer-led telephone intervention for mothers living with PND, and developing the relationship between the lay and clinical communities. The intervention will potentially benefit a significant number of patients and support a future application for a larger study to undertake a full evaluation of the clinical and cost effectiveness of telephone based peer-support for PND. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ISRCTN: ISRCTN91450073. The study has received a major funding grant from National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) (UK) - Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) programme (ref: PB-PG-0407-13232).

Summary A millennia-old prophecy was given when the Forbidden Ones were driven from Achar. And now, the Acharites witness its manifestation: Achar is under attack by an evil lord from the North, Gorgreal-his ice demons strike from the sky and kill hundreds of brave warriors in the blink of an eye.

While fleeing to safety from the dangerous land, Faraday, rides with Axis, legendary leader of the Axe-Wielders-and hated half-brother of Borneheld-and a man Faraday secretly loves although it would be death to admit it. She embarks on a journey, which will change her life forever, in search of the true nature of her people. This grand and heroic story tells the tale of one woman's plight to learn the truth of her people and change their hearts and their minds forever. She fights against oppressive forces to share this reality and will not desist until everyone knows. . . . . The truth of the Star Gate |

X-rays of young people in Australia have revealed a worrying consequence of the modern digital age that could lead to a generation of hunchbacks all across the world.
Dr James Carter spoke to the Daily Mail Australia about the growing problem of 'text neck', a condition that he is increasingly seeing present in adolescents who spend a large amount of time on their mobile phones or laptops, bending their necks for long periods of time in order to see small screens. He warns that in the long term, this could lead to the development of a hunchback, as well as other health problems.
He detected the problem after noticing a larger number of teenage patients were coming to his surgery seeking treatment for headaches, but after full X-rays, he could see that many had the same issue - a backwards curve in the neck due to spending hours bent over a screen.
Worryingly, children as young as seven have shown signs of 'text neck', leading to concerns that hunchbacks and unnatural curvatures of the spine could be prevalent among the next generation.
Statistics show that the average smartphone user spends four hours each day looking down at their device's screen, placing as many as 1,400 hours extra strain on their neck and spine each year.
Sammy Margo of the UK's Chartered Society of Physiotherapy explained: "When you drop your chin onto your chest for a long period, you are stretching the whole structure. Eventually, in conjunction with a sedentary lifestyle, it could lead to serious consequences."
Dr Chris McCarthy, a consultant spinal physiotherapist for the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, added that the problem is likely to be exacerbated if young people are not partaking in any exercise and stay in one position while online or texting. The more time a young person spends doing this, the pain in their spines throughout the rest of their lives is likely to be greater.
