If you do a research on the Top 5 causes of infertility in women, the blocked fallopian tubes will surely fall under top 3. Unfortunately it is a condition that we would not know until we try to conceive. Only when you are unable to conceive for quite some time, the obstetrician prescribe a HSG (hysterosalpingogram) test that inspects the shape and ductility of your fallopian tubes.
Ten years back, being diagnosed with blocked tubes meant the end of the road for a couple. But it is no longer an infertility problem that cannot be cured. Most cases of blocked tubes can be corrected. So if you have just found out that this is the cause behind your infertility, do not despair, here is what you have to do.
What To Do When You Have Blocked Tubes...
Be sure first. The most important thing in this situation is to be absolutely sure that you have tubal blockage. There are hardly any concrete symptoms that indicate tubal blockage. Constant abdominal pain, history of ectopic pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases might be indicative of blockage but not conclusive of it. Irregular periods indicates ovulation problems but not blocked tubes.
Do the test. There are two kinds of tests ( HSG and intra-vaginal ultrasound) that can conclusively determine tubal blockage. The HSG test is a detailed x-ray check onceof the fallopian tubes and the ovaries. The intra-vaginal ultrasound scan is scan of the uterus and ovaries done by inserting a stylus into the vagina. The normal ultra sound scan that is done on the lower abdomen is not conclusive in this case.
How blocked are your tubes? Tubes might be in various stages of blockage. The cause of blockage determines its severity. If you have had a previous ectopic pregnancy of ruptured appendix, the scar tissues left behind might block your tubes partially. However, if your tubes are twisted from birth, then it will be a complete blockage.
Can I still conceive? In most cases, a woman with blockage in one tube can still conceive naturally if she has no ovulation problems. However, if both tubes are blocked, then you need to go for tubal surgery.
When does tubal surgery work? The best known treatment to remove the blockage is a small laproscopic surgery. It opens the mouth of the tubes by removing the accumulated scar tissues. However, this can work when the blockage is minor. Very thick scar tissues may not be totally removed through surgery.
So what should I do then? Your doctor will ask you to go for IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) depending on your age and the severity of the blockage. Artificial insemination doesn't work in a majority of tubal blockage cases.
Even if you have severely blocked tubed, do not lose hope. Just wait for science to catch up with you.

Scientia Humanitatis
Reason, empiricism and skepticism are not virtues of science alone
In the late 20th century the humanities took a turn toward postmodern deconstruction and the belief that there is no objective reality to be discovered. To believe in such quaint notions as scientific progress was to be guilty of "scientism," properly said with a snarl. In 1996 New York University physicist Alan Sokal punctured these pretensions with his now famous article "Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity," chockablock full of postmodern phrases and deconstructionist tropes interspersed with scientific jargon, which he subsequently admitted were nonsensical gibberish.
I subsequently gave up on the humanities but am now reconsidering my position after an encounter this past March with University of Amsterdam humanities professor Rens Bod during a European book tour for The Moral Arc. In our dialogue, Bod pointed out that my definition of science—a set of methods that describes and interprets observed or inferred phenomena, past or present, aimed at testing hypotheses and building theories—applies to such humanities fields as philology, art history, musicology, linguistics, archaeology, historiography and literary studies.

As always, it's the lawyers who are the real winners: The Lawyer magazine reports that Berwin Leighton Paisner's Graham Shear and a host of Fladgate partners have advised Premier League footballer Gareth Bale on his record-breaking transfer to Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur for €100 million (£85 million).
Media and sports disputes partner Shear is a longstanding adviser to Bale, and a friend of Spurs chairman Daniel Levy. He spent five years as managing partner at West End firm Teacher Stern, where he advised Argentinian striker Carlos Tevez's agent Kia Joorabchian on the player's move to Manchester City from Manchester United in 2009.
Fladgate also acted for Bale on the transfer, led by the firm's head of corporate Grant Gordon, who says: "Transfer deals of this nature are becoming ever more complex, reflecting the need for advice on a myriad of elements, including corporate, tax, regulatory, IP, image and media rights, and employment."
A Hann book for lovers of opera...
Once a food analyst with stockbroker Capel Cure Myers and then a stalwart of City PR firm Hudson Sandler, the eccentric Keith Hann has now emerged as the author of a fine, if slender, tome.
The Bluffer's Guide to Opera has clearly been scribbled between writing press releases for Iceland Foods chief executive Malcolm Walker — a man keen on seeing his name in print. Hann, by contrast a modest type, retired from Hudson Sandler years ago to live in Northumberland. Not, however, before he had spent a fortune of his yuppie salary taking himself (and it was usually himself) to hundreds of operas.
Indeed, he suggests that if opera houses were airlines, they would have to be probed by the Office of Fair Trading over their pricing policies.
* It's common to get press releases from City legal firms pointing out that they advised some blue-chip company on a massive takeover deal. For example, "Slaughter and May is advising Vodafone on an agreement to dispose of its US group whose principal asset is its 45% interest in Verizon Wireless." A riveting read. But City Spy's email pings again and "Slaughter and May advised Arsenal Football Club on its recent transfer dealings" arrives. Yes, the firm was burning the midnight oil on the club record purchase of German international Mesut Özil from Real Madrid, the acquisition of Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre, and the transfers of Gervinho to AS Roma, Marouane Chamakh to Crystal Palace, and André Santos to Flamengo.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 5 votes Best answer Well, I don't know what you want to use them for (presumably a physical sweeper), nor in which tier you want to use them, but in any case: Cacturne shouldn't be used outside of NU (despite Smogon's RU tier ranking for it). While it has the same typing as Shiftry, it has appalling speed and defences. At least Shiftry's speed in the sun will give it an advantage against Pokemon like Scizor. Cacturne @ Life Orb Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed Nature: Adamant Drain Punch Sucker Punch Seed Bomb Swords Dance If you want, Cacturne can serve as a Spiker as well, but I'd suggest using something else instead, like Garbodor, making your Cacturne a physical sweeper. Breloom can fulfil many roles, either going as an all out attacker with its Technician ability, or a staller/ Focus Puncher with Poison Heal and Substitute. Breloom @ Toxic Orb Ability: Poison Heal EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HP Nature: Adamant Spore Substitute Focus Punch Seed Bomb OR Breloom @ Life Orb Ability: Technician EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 Hp Nature: Jolly Spore Swords Dance Bullet Seed Mach Punch Breloom for OU, Cacturne for NU. It's not as if these Pokemon can play outside of their tiers anyway (well you can use a Cacturne in OU, but it'd just be fodder for a Scizor). If this is just a random question as to which is the better physical sweeper: Breloom. While both Pokemon have a x4 weakness, Breloom is faster and has brilliant abilities for it to get past its x4 flying weakness. answered Feb 20, 2013 by fondant selected Feb 20, 2013 by SpacefishFlygon Thanks! Actually, Cacturne is a great Spiker with an offensive role, compared to Garbodor, who's purely defensive. Yea, but most people forfeit Drain Punch in favour of Spikes, and if that's the case, Cacturne forfeits its recovery method. Besides, Drain Punch is there to deal with Probopass. It depends if you need a Spiker or not, if you don't, more people use Skuntank. I just find it pointless to have a frail Spiker; Cacturne has really poor defences, and it's in the same class as Ursaring in that it has high attack but depressing speed, so it should sweep ASAP, rather than waste its time throwing spikes. That's just my advice. More people use it as a lead with Focus Sash or Yache Berry, things that work awfully well. Also, before, when Sand Veil was available to him, he could use Encore to have more setup opportunities. He shouldn't be used as a sweeper.

Good news. Had a lycosa (LOL) sitting around and its feet fit! yay! Still, looking for others.
I have a Filco Majestouch 2 with blue switches. I think it's great, love the feel and weight of it.
I just noticed all of Razer's keyboards are spiders and their mouses are snakes.
I'm sitting on my ass and not doing trial and error for the M's pinout because I don't want to restart my computer for each try.
How is it to game on? I play mostly FPS type games, and from what I can understand, the blue switches can be a bit problematic when you need to tap keys.
I'm typing on Blues, haven't had any issues with it, I play Battlefield at a competitive level.
Yea, I don't get why people say they have problems gaming on blues, they're absolutely fooooine.
Sometimes I find myself holding a key without knowing on blues.
Shit you have heavy hands then.
So does this mean Blues would be preferable to for example browns, even though i plan to use the keyboard for gaming aswell? I don't think noise would be a problem, so ignore that.
Is the K90 mechanical? Some saying it isn't, some saying the macro's aren't but others are.. if so, I found it for price of about £90. Is it worth it? I'll be played mostly FPS but Skyrim, etc too.
Or should I just stick with the Sidewinder X6?
It is, yes.
Assuming you mean the Corsair K90. For FPS, just get the K60.
I've had no problem with it after the first week. I did sometimes keep keys pressed down by accident during the first few days but then I eventually stopped doing it.
Only thing with the K60 is, i'm looking for backlighting. Backlighting mechanical seems expensive so I could just stick with a normal one, just not sure.
Esc, F1-12, Marco, and the block of 6 keys with Home at the center are all rubber dome, the rest are mechanical.
I'm set on a mouse but I REALLY have no idea which keyboard to buy. Should I hold out for upcoming keyboards?
Why do you need backlighting?
Mechanical keyboards are pretty pointless if you are Hunt & Pecking.
I just like the look of backlighting
I think i'll put my whole £100 budget on the K90. Wire of my Logitech Marble mouse is a bit broken, but fine in a specific place, which is the art of a trackball is I won't be hardly moving the whole mouse/wire. Also, i'm a bit stuck for space on my desk but I love my trackball so much at the moment. My keyboard wire is the most annoying as I get freezing or the keys stop working etc..
How noisy exactly is the K90?
I have this at the moment which is quite noisy:
You are whining about a rubber dome being loud and you are going to get a mechanical?
Oh god what a joke!
I do have to consider typing at night with people sleeping in the next room, but at the same time buying a keyboard that will last me for really long.
I've ditched buying a new mouse, happy with trackball.. so it may as well go to a mechanical one.
So does anyone have some actual advice instead of a reply that isn't going to help me?
can you please just buy a keyboard with blacks/reds and be done with it
Why are you moaning? I came here in need of some options. Shoot me for being picky over what to choose.
you've posted 11 times over the past 5 days and still haven't picked a keyboard, it usually takes people 1-3 posts to get what they want
buy a 6gv2/7g/filco/leopold/rk-9000
Mechanical keyboards are usually noisier than rubber domes, though in different ways. With red switches you don't get the clicky noise from the tactile feedback but you'll still get the loud clapping of the caps hitting their bottom positions. What you don't get, however, is the dull thumping/slamming noises of your hits on the rubber dome keys propagating through the entire cheap plastic keyboard casing. The mechanical switches seem much better at absorbing the force of the hits (understandably, since each switch has their own steel spring).
I don't know a good way of describing this, but I remember having to hit the rubber dome keys on my old keyboard pretty violently, which caused a low-pitched thundering noise to ring out while I was typing fast. I don't get that on my K90, even though mechanical keys are inherently louder. So basically you're trading in a low-pitched thumping sound for a high-pitched clacking. For example, I imagine typing on a K90 can potentially be more friendly to someone sleeping in the next room, but I guarantee you it's gonna annoy the hell out of everyone on a teamspeak channel.
It's a bad idea to rush these things, otherwise you might end up with a keyboard you don't like.
Doing some personal research and looking for youtube reviews of your keyboard will be a good start to deciding the keyboard that is right for you.
there are people that post in this thread that have already done all of the research and are here to share with those that come to ask
The amount of times i've gone rushing into buying things and having to take them back is ridiculous. I can't trust myself to make my own decisions on products really, that's just how I am.
If you're getting annoyed by me, please just add me to your ignore list.
Ohh, this is exactly the answer I was looking for. My rubbish budget keyboard does indeed make that low-pitch clank/rattle and i'm pretty sure because of it being low-pitched, it would be more audible through standard walls.
Is there a place in the UK that let's you try out mechanical keyboards, such as the different cherry types?
Don't know, but there are a number of youtube vids with noise comparisons.
Me and Giacomand were just having a conversation. I've narrowed it down to 3, hoorah \/
EDIT: Okay, looks like I have the one I want as the other two aren't sold in the UK. I'll get the Corsair K90, great price, great backlight (I want to admire my mechanical keyboard in the dark, dumb huh?) and a LOT of macro's which will prove handy in Editing and Photoshop too.
Having issues trying to find MX Brown keyboards in a UK layout :/. Im pretty sure I want Brown caps now, however finding them in a UK layout with a maximum of £110 is pretty tricky.
I'm pretty sure WASD has like, every layout ever or something like that
or was that Das, i don't remember
Yeah I looked as WASD and they don't offer MX Brown on the UK keyboard styles, and DAS uses the US layout
I do wish Corsair had a cherry brown version, but seeing as their K90 is branded as an "MMO/RTS" keyboard, the cherry reds are ideal for FPS as far as I heard, so hoping I will get used to them as i'm already used to a button having that activation feel, so you know it's been pressed.
Wow, do you really believe there are specialized keyboards for each game genre?
You must not be one of the brightest...
I see why you need the backlighting now.
Oh please, just shut up for once and stop complaining.
I want the back lighting for the look, I can type fine without looking. Also, I'm taking into account that the Cherry reds have a quicker activation, which would be ideal for FPS.
you're dumb
different switches are good for different things
Reds don't activate faster. The Blacks probably activate the fastest because the extra force you need will make you overcompensate and press the switch faster.
Ah yeah, Cherry Red is more of a "lighter" version of the Black. Has a lower actuation force or so i've heard (the red) but handy I guess. Wish they did have a cherry black version for the keyboard I want :P
You STILL haven't got it? Just get a 6GV2 or 7G and be done with it if you want Blacks.

High-tech gadgets won't solve all your attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) organizational problems. Many gadgets are pricey, and you can read every word of the owner's manual and still not know how the things work.
But the right ADHD tools can make you a bit less frazzled--especially if you're the kind of person with ADD/ADHD who can spend 30 minutes looking for keys... only to find them in your pocket or purse.
Odds are, you already know how to use a kitchen timer to help you keep track of time outside the kitchen. Here are seven more nifty, high-tech helpers, selected for people with ADD/ADHD:
1. Graphical clock
If you have trouble keeping track of the time, you'll want one of these: a clock that uses a diminishing red disc to graphically indicate time's passing. As minutes tick by, the red pie slice gradually disappears. The clocks come in various sizes and can be purchased from TimeTimer.com. A software version can be installed on your computer's desktop.
2. Keyless lock
Are you the kind of person who loses your keys and your key finder? You may want to outfit your home with a door lock that substitutes numerical codes or fingerprints for keys. These devices offer enhanced security as well as convenience, as you can quickly change the code or fingerprint profiles. (It's great for housekeepers, guests, and others you'd rather not have a permanent key.) There's a good selection of keyless locks at SmartHome.com.
3. Fail-safe alarm watch
Many people with ADD/ADHD keep their alarm clock on the other side of the bedroom -- to make sure they get up. Here's a better idea: The Sleeptracker watch monitors your sleep cycles. You set it to wake you during a specified window of time, and it sounds the alarm when you're in a period of light sleep--and less likely to fall back to sleep once you've been roused. For more information, go to Sleeptracker.com.
4. Goof-proof garage door closer
Ever wake up in the morning only to realize that you left the garage door open all night? SmartHome.com offers an automatic garage door closer that uses a timer to close the door automatically in case you get distracted and forget. (Make sure the closer works with your particular type of garage door.)
5. Business card scanner
Are you drowning in a sea of business cards? Cut the clutter by scanning cards into your computer, then throw them away. Try TigerDirect.com to find a basic model.
6. Key finder
These aren't just for keys. You can use them to find any object that you tend to misplace - TV remote, eyeglasses, or telephone handset. Afraid you'll set aside that library book and never find it again? Just attach one of the electronic fobs to the bookmark. Press a button on the base unit, and follow the beeps to the book. A basic key finder can be purchased from online gadget stores such as Brookstone.com. If you need lots of fobs, take a look at the finders at FindOneFindAll.com. These can be configured to keep track of up to 36 items.
7. Intelligent watch
Muti-function, water-resistant sport watches aren't just for athletes. People with ADD/ADHD often find them useful. Because you can wear one in the shower, you don't have to take it off so often--which means you're less likely to lose it. And many models feature multiple alarms. You can set alarms for 15- to 30-minute intervals to keep you on track and sharpen your sense of timing.
Some programmable models, including those made by Timex, can store hundreds of phone numbers and appointments. If you can't remember to take your meds, go to bed on time, or keep multiple appointments, a vibrating alarm watch may be the solution. At WatchMinder.com, you'll find a programmable watch that can be set to go vibrate multiple times a day and remind you to do tasks.

are prices usually not as good, or the same as now?
I wouldn't say that everything is at 60% off or more--I remember at the last one that there were definitely a lot of things (shirts, knits, outerwear) that was 40-50% off. But you're definitely right about the cool/wacky sample stuff that don't make it into stores.

Rating: | No Rating |
Genre: | Drama |
Release Date: | January 1, 1949 |
Running time: | 97 minutes |
Cast: | Bette Davis, Joseph Cotten, David Brian, Ruth Roman, Minor Watson |
Director: | King Vidor |
Writer: | Lenore J. Coffee, Stuart Engstrand |
Description: What a dump! That's the classic line delivered by Bette Davis at the halfway point of Beyond the Forest, her final Warner Bros. effort of the 1940s. Some Davis devotees feel as though this vituperative utterance is the high point of an otherwise turgid melodrama; others consider the line a succinct assessment of the entire film. Based on a best-selling novel by Stuart Engstrand, the film stars Davis as Rosa Moline, a small-town girl with big-city ambitions. Trapped in a dull marriage to just-getting-by lawyer Lewis Moline (Joseph Cotten), Rosa plots and plans to sexually entrap millionaire industrialist Neil Latimer (David Brian). That Rosa's scheme is doomed from the start is telegraphed at every juncture by Max Steiner's sledgehammer musical score (few will ever want to hear the song Chicago again after this). Hampered by the censorship standards of the era, the film is prevented from being as frank as the novel; in one scene, for example, Rosa is obviously visiting an abortionist, but the sign on the door reads Psychiatrist. A standard entry in most film historians' Worst Movies lists (even Davis herself hated it), Beyond the Forest is rather entertaining in its own schlocky fashion.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:FAST) recently reported its first quarter earnings and discussed the following topics in its earnings conference call.
Seasonal Details
Ryan Merkel – William Blair: So I want to start with March. It looks like the seasonal lift was little less than usual. I'm just wondering how much of that was macro and then how much do you estimate that Good Friday hurt, if at all?
Willard D. Oberton – CEO: Ryan, we look at Good Friday as probably – it's more than a half a day. So, if you say it's 60% we would have lost about $5 million which would be 2 percentage points. I haven't looked at it that way, but I mean that's what the math would be. It was a slow finish, Good Friday was. But it was also a slow month.
Ryan Merkel – William Blair: Then on gross margin, I guess a two-part question. Where do you think margins can go once the other third of stores have the price guidance (system)? Secondly, do you think that better price discipline has impacted sales at all?
Willard D. Oberton – CEO: To answer the first part, all of the stores have the price guidance. So, we just haven't deployed it to all customer groups. So, just it might be clear on that. Where the margin can go, we're not sure. We're not going to speculate on the margin. We believe there's still upside improvement. And the second question, do we think it's affecting sales? No, we really – and Lee is here too, I'll let him jump in, but I have heard no anecdotal – any stories about losing business because of price guidance. Could there be some? Of course, but that's not what we're hearing back.
Leland J. Hein – President: Yeah, I would only add, Ryan, that it would only be true if the system was so rigid that we (didn't opt) for the flexibility of our folks to look at in order and take it if it makes sense to our business. And that is again a culture – a piece of the culture within our Company that we've always been flexible to the point to be wise and take orders when it makes sense.

Xu-Fu, Cub of Xuen
Binds when picked up
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
A twist on a favorite combo of mine. Round 1 dazzling dance, round 2 bite, round 3 howl before death, it needs to be up for 2 rounds so use howl when your SURE hes going to die. Flip to jumping spider when fox dies. use brittle webbing, then swarm. then just attack and he will gain some life. when spider is dead, flip to Menagerie Custodian. First attack shock and awe, second ion cannon = GG . I linked my kill here: www.wowpetbattle.com/xufu.html
I was not sure which pet to get first after the completion of the Celestial Tournament. After some consideration decided on Xu-Fu because of his abilities and damage output.
It was the right choice !
Without getting into details, while levelling against 24-25 mobs, he at level 13 single handled lvl 25 Golden Cuvet and later at lvl 20 killed all 3 opponents who had lvl 24 and his health was at 1140 (100%) !
Was using Prowl (dmg increase by 150% for the next attack), followed by Feed (dmg+heal)...
it is indeed the cutest thing. And deadly can be. Underused in my opinion. I love the fact that it sits on your lap. One of my fav
This little thing is amazing. Currently leveling him, and even though he is only level 16 he can tear through a team of 25 pets with very little help from a boosting pet!
Awesome fighting pet, and as a bonus it is adorable too!
Xu-Fu is basically the reason why moves like Dodge or Clobber exist.
He is one of my go-to PvP Pets, and if I see the enemy team doesn't have a single pet capable of stalling or controlling the battle to neutralize him, I will send out Xu-Fu and -- like a harbinger of death -- he WILL take out the very first pet he comes into contact with.
This little guy telegraphs his attacks and can be very easy to stop with the right pets, but he utterly devours the unprepared.
The pet you receive does not have the same moves available as the Celestial Tournament opponent, which has Moonfire and Feed. Whereas the pet has Moonfire or Feed.
After many grueling hours of leveling pets suitable for these epic celestial battles, I finally obtained this adorable pet thanks to the generous youtube videos posted by Elfuego. Without him, I would have never thought to use some of the pets that finally got the job done. Thank you SO much!
i absolutely adore Xu-Fu can single handedly destroy Erris's critter team and any critter team.
Was the first out of my 4 pets from the celestial tournament, and came in handy there as well.
Finally finished the tournament and boy is he worth it. The critter destroyer for sure and he looks really sweet. Chi Chi your next :)
My strategy:
Wild Jade Hatchling -> Call Lightning -> swap
-> Clockwork Gnome -> Build Turret -> swap
-> Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling -> Flock -> Flock (you wont see it, fight is over and you won).
Whatever Xu-Fu does (lucky crit or not), he is dead after this! You cannot fail with this setup.
He's cute, he's cuddly, he's powerful, but does anyone else wish Moonfire and Vengeance would switch place?
A good strategy on the end 4 named pets you have to battle is to have the pandaren water spirit and chromius. I cast Geyser then Whirlpool. Then flipped to Chromius and his Howl double damage. I took out 2 of the four with those 2 pets, they hardly had anything left and were stunned..one good nuke from Chromius surge of power and they were dead with hardly any damage done.
Made an extensive testing, that 80% is rather somewhere between 60-70% :)
Hits like a truck and yet is so cute and cuddly. So-So for PVP but runs through PVE
I just beat the Celestial Tournament for the first time today. Beating it the first time gives you 3 celestial coins. It costs 3 celestial coins to get one of 4 celestial pets. I chose Xu-Fu because he's so CUTE! I may not enter the celestial tournament again. I just wanted Xu-Fu.
I used Zagams celestial tournament guide: http://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topic/4180-zagams-celestial-tournament-guide/
Works like a charm. :)
They need to make a hunter pet version of Xuen! Hunters across Azeroth demand this! A Xuen mount would be nice as well.
really easy to counter you need someone to use a stun so i would use peddle feet or if your lucky mini tyrael
I do notice that he sits alot and sometimes refuses to move even if you move away, only if you move so far away will he begin to move again. That is so cute! Picked him up as my first pet in the celestial tournament. My strategy to defeat him was quite simple: Started with pandaren water spirit, geyser, whirlpool, switch to chrominius, howl and surge of power. Altought it is quite risky because if he crits only one attack one of your pets will die with this strategy.
easy fight, 1st pet ie. Tranquil Mechanical Yeti casts Call Lightning, switch to any flying pet with Flock. If Xu-FU is not dead already, then back to Yeti or 3rd pet and finish him with Ion Cannon.

CrunchBang Linux is an Ubuntu based distribution featuring the lightweight Openbox window manager and GTK+ applications. The distribution has been built and customised from a minimal Ubuntu install. The distribution has been designed to offer a good balance of speed and functionality. CrunchBang Linux is currently available as a LiveCD; however, best performance is achieved by installing CrunchBang Linux to your hard disk - CrunchBang Linux comes with the ability to play most popular media formats, including but not limited to MP3, DVD playback & Adobe Flash. CrunchBang Linux also comes with many popular applications installed by default, including but not limited to Firefox 3 web browser, VLC media player, Skype and Transmission BitTorrent Client......
CrunchBang Linux has been reported to be a A Faster Ubuntu. While CrunchBang Linux is not primarily designed for old systems, it has been reported to operate very well where system resources are limited. Once installed, should boot-up and operate much faster than a regular Ubuntu installation.....
(Excerpt) Read more at crunchbanglinux.org ...
The Linux distros have much cooler names than Mac and Windows OSs.
Linux distro cool name *PING*!
Give Puppy a try. Basic functionality in a very small package. There are flavors that have a slightly larger footprint with more features.
Basic Puppy
Some other versions linked to here:
But after all this time they still won't give me functionality with my Verizon air card without my having to stand on my head and wave my arms wildly around.
Puppy works well with my old laptop. Much faster than WIN ME it came with.
>>But after all this time they still wont give me functionality with my Verizon air card without my having to stand on my head and wave my arms wildly around.<<
I think that is the entertainment pac.
The fastest Linux I've ever used is when I "rolled my own", i.e., start with an Ubuntu minimal installation. It takes a little longer to get running, though.
First, you have to download the minimal installer, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
When you boot the live CD, type, "cli" and follow the directions. It will take a long time, and you have to have an internet connection.
On the first boot, simply type, "sudo apt-get install lxde synaptic" That will install the Lightweight X11 Desktop System, which is very light, yet very usable. Reboot, then you can add programs point-and-click style as needed using Synaptic, choosing only what you need (CUPS printing, web browser, etc.)
You get an incredibly lightweight system that has no extra bloat.
I currently have this setup running on a 333 mHz computer with only 128 megs of ram. It is not super fast, but it is very usable.
I've never tried CrunchBang before. Might fire it up in VirtualBox and see what it's all about.
You beat me to it - Puppy is amazing for a small distro that will run like crazy on limited hardware.
I like Puppy too. I bought my dad an old 700 mhz laptop with 128 mb of ram. Puppy runs on it like a champ. He uses it every day, mainly for getting on the Internet and light word processing. He can even share files with his Windows XP computer through the network.
I have just under $100 in the whole deal, including the wireless card.
I keep the CD in my laptop for when I need to get on the internet in seconds, rather than minutes, from turning it on. It's a fairly new laptop, but Vista wants several minutes to load, and then it wants to download and install updates, and then it wants to reboot, and then it will think about letting me do what I want. Puppy - 75 seconds from hitting the on button to posting on FR.
When flying, the plane could be landing before I could get online with Vista.
Agree, my favorite is XFCE. Have been using it for a number of years. Fast, stable and friendly.
Yuck, yuck.
Seriously, can any of you Linux guys tell me how I can make my Verizon broadband card work with any of the Linux distros without having to jump through a dozen flaming hoops? I've got an old Dell that I'm forced to use on the road (no $ to buy a replacement right now) that may as well be a boat anchor without a functional broadband card...
When I installed Ubuntu, it detected my external broadband card AND a USB wireless device I had.
Try installing Linux with the card installed.
I'll give it a try. The first time I installed Ubuntu and it didn't work I went onto the net looking for a package for it, but all I could find were command line work-arounds and I couldn't get any of those to work.
I hear ya. I've gone through the same thing on several distro's hoping they would get their stuff together. Actually, that's why I checked out this thread...
Puppy Linux is great for the old machines. I use to boot up with a CD and save stuff on a memory stick. That way the computer I used was unaffected but still set up just the way I liked it.
You can actually set up a save file on your hard drive without messing up your Windows install.
Come to think of it, if your machine will boot from a thumb drive, you can use the same stick for both the operating system and the files.
The save file for Puppy can get pretty big. I was using old machines with 6 Gigabyte drives so I just saved everything on the stick. Besides that it makes it super portable. I can go up to almost any computer with my CD and/or memory stick and everything comes up with my personal settings. When I done using it the computer is left untouched. (For the REALLY old ones I have a floppy disc to get it all started )
If you've got a minute, just how do you do that? I made a bootable Ubuntu stick on a 2 GB SanDisk and cannot get at the remaining space. Given that a live CD has only 700 MB to work with, I was expecting something on the order of a little over a gig of free space to fool with but no luck.
Also ran across another useful one called Super Ubuntu. Which is Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic with all the extra audio, dvd, and video codecs preinstalled including many extra programs. Saves alot of post installation time setting up. Install is over 1gb in size, real quick with USB drive.
I'll give another vote for XFCE, though I haven't tried it in Linux. Works well in OpenBSD.
Yes. It is very fast. Boots on my dad's old 700 mHz laptop in under a minute.
And no "automatic update" crap.
Have you ever burned a Puppy multisession CD? That's pretty slick, too. Nice being able to actually configure the setup on your live CD and save data...
When you say that you can't get at the remaining space, what exactly do you mean?
Because you can't write to the filesystem directly while using the USB, because the filesystem still believes it is on a read-only CD rom.
Or, do you mean that the disk is now full? If so, you made your persistence file (the place where you store your changes) so large that it takes up all of the remaining space.
2GB isn't a lot for a USB startup disk. I've run out of space on a 4gb before. Depends on how much you want to install.
Do you have persistence working? In other words, if you save a file on your USB stick's desktop, is it still there the next time you boot with it?
Also, when you make a live USB boot disk using Ubuntu, you are given the option of how large you want to make your persistence file, or whether or not you even have one.
If you give me more information, I can help you. Freepmail me if you want.
I currently have a 32gb pen drive with a 6 GB Ubuntu partition and a 26 GB storage partition. Pretty cool.
XFCE is very nice, but unfortunately, Xubuntu, the XFCE version of Ubuntu, is so bloated that some report that it actually runs SLOWER than regular Ubuntu. A shame.
I've thought of doing a custom build of base Ubuntu + XFCE to get the maximum speed out of my laptop, but it takes a LOT of time to do that, unfortunately.
No, but I can see its uses. I use it mainly on a new laptop with plenty of hard drive space.
I was speaking of Puppy, which was designed for such things. Don't know about Ubuntu. My one experience with it indicated I'd have to install it to save my settings, and I didn't want to mess with the existing Windows install. (Also trashed an old computer trying to upgrade the bios to run Ubuntu - it's not as sympathetic to old machines.)
I have a distro of SUSE11 on a 500Gb portable drive, I love it, I can literally take my computer any place and run it. Just plug the drive into a usb port and turn on the machine. Most computers are set to boot from the usb port before the hard drive.
By broadband card, I assume you mean a WiFi adapter in a PC card format to fit in a laptop? If that's the case and Linux doesn't like the one you have, it's the adapter's, not the laptop that would need to be changed to get it to work, and those are $15-20. Much cheaper than replacing your laptop. Also, I always get my laptops used off Ebay. They're a lot cheaper if you don't need the latest bleeding edge hardware.
Well...did Broadcom choose to write any drivers that will work with any variety of LINUX?
These packages contain Broadcom's IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n hybrid Linux® device driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4321-, and BCM4322-based hardware. There are different tars for 32-bit and 64-bit x86 CPU architectures. Make sure that you download the appropriate tar because the hybrid binary file must be of the appropriate architecture type. The hybrid binary file is agnostic to the specific version of the Linux kernel because it is designed to perform all interactions with the operating system through operating-system-specific files and an operating system abstraction layer file. All Linux operating-system-specific code is provided in source form, making it possible to retarget to different kernel versions and fix operating system related issues.
NOTE: You must read the LICENSE.TXT file in the lib directory before using this software.
Support questions for the latest version of these drivers may be directed to email@example.com.
I didn't think they were supplying any drivers so this is good...sounds like some work is needed...no idea how much.
Note they reference 4 distict pieces of their hardware...suspect those are the newest...but I haven't looked...
October 7, 2008 - 7:05 P.M.
New Linux Broadcom Wi-Fi drivers arrive....(Finally)
One of the most annoying experiences for any desktop Linux user is installing a Linux on a laptop, switching it on, and... discovering that the Wi-Fi chipset doesn't support Linux. That used to be a commonplace experience, but over the years it's gotten much better. Unless, of course, you were using a laptop with a Broadcom chipset; then, chances were, you were in for some trouble.
Other Wi-Fi chipset companies like Intel and Atheros have gotten with the program and do a reasonable job of supporting Linux. Atheros even recently went the extra mile and released the Atheros HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) for its 802.11abg chipsets under the ISC license. In July, Atheros had open-sourced its 802.11n driver under the same liberal license.
Broadcom, on the other hand, well Broadcom continues to be a pain. In all fairness, Broadcom has made some progress. In February 2007, Broadcom engineers showed up at the Linux Wireless Summit. Then, in the summer of 2007, Broadcom finally gave Linux some driver support for its NetXtreme, NetXtreme II, NetLink and 4401 product lines. In July of this year, Broadcom engineers at the Linux Foundation Summit told me that they'd be giving Linux more support.
Well, I'm still waiting for more direct support from Broadcom. In the meantime, though, some championship reverse-engineering has given us support for the Broadcom B43 chipsets starting in the Linux 2.6.24 kernel.
Now Dell, with some help from Broadcom and Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, has just released a Linux friendly Broadcom Wi-Fi driver for both 32 and 64-bit Linuxes. According to John Hull, Dell's Manager of Linux OS Engineering, "updated Linux wireless drivers that support cards based on the Broadcom 4311, 4312, 4321, and 4322 chipsets" are now available.
For Dell users, this means that they now have Wi-Fi support for the Dell 1490, 1395, 1397, 1505, and 1510 Wireless cards. Specifically, Hull wrote that, "We're currently offering the Dell 1397 card with the Studio 15 system with Ubuntu 8.04 and the 1395 card is supported on our new Inspiron Mini 9." But, this isn't a Dell or Ubuntu only deal. The drivers should work with any Broadcom card using one of the supported chipsets on any modern Linux.
Linux Mint does all that too,...and I think has a better update process than Ubuntu and Super OS.
That's an IBM Thinkpad of course.
If you want the simplest solution for desktop WiFi, buy an Edimax PCI card from Newegg for $19.99. Linux has built-in driver support for that card's chipset. It is literal plug and play, no drivers to install. I have installed several of them. The card is also Windows XP compatible on dual-boot machines. If I can do it, even a caveman could.
Using the Belkin USB Wireless G key under Linux
Not sure if that is what you have.
'bout freakin' time.
MAN,...that has almost 1500 reviews....they must have sold a bunch of those.
....no download needed...
You are CORRECT, sir!
Will have to noodle around with those downloads when I get a minute.

Symptoms of ear infections include hearing loss, inflammation, redness, irritation, discharge, and odor. Scabs may be visible near the earflap as well as hair loss, which can be symptomatic of excessive scratching due to ear infection. Behavioral symptoms of ear infections can be indicators that your dog or cat needs veterinarian attention. Some behavioral symptoms are darting eye movement, pushing affected ear on the furniture or floor, walking in circles, and shaking head, as if trying to get water out of ears.
If you suspect your dog or cat has an ear infection, there are certainly physical signs you can look for to determine the problem. Hearing loss can be an unfortunate result of ear infections. It can be caused by damage to the eardrum itself, or simply by blockage of the ear canal, due to debris build-up or inflammation. Try snapping your fingers next to the pet's ear to see if there is significant hearing loss. If the loss is minor, it may not be able to be detected by anyone other than a veterinarian.It is very common for ear infections to be noticed based on inflammation and redness around the ear canal or on the earflaps. Because an animal's body is designed to respond to infection with inflammation, redness, and irritation, these become visible indicators of ear infections. The immune system sends repair cells to the infected area. They crowd around to fight and flush the infection, causing the area to increase in size (swell,) and more red cells create a redness of the skin.Infection often produces a milky discharge, which can be very smelly. Bacteria tend to have an odor, and it can get stronger the worse the infection becomes. If the infection is yeast related, the odor can be very sweet smelling, but is strong and obviously not normal. The discharge is a collection of white blood cells that formed to isolate the infection from the healthy skin.
Behavioral symptoms of ear infections may be more noticeable than the physical symptoms, and are usually what first indicates a problem. Nystagmus is unusual darting eye movement, and can be caused by Otitis Interna infections, that affect the balance and coordination of the animal. Some cats and dogs drag the afflicted ear across the furniture or floor, or walk in circles shaking their head. It may seem like the animal is trying to get something out of the ear, as a human might try to remove water.
The sooner you can catch an ear infection, the lower your pet's risk of damage will be. Knowing the symptoms, both physical and behavioral, is the first step in recognizing an ear infection and keeping your pet happy and healthy.

Out-going Norton board member satisfied with districts future
To the editor:
Much as I felt compelled to offer to serve my local government eight years ago, I feel compelled to speak a different message than a local paper has been running about politics in Norton. Living in a community where voices are often loud and sometimes disrespectful can sometimes be discouraging. Math is more my field of expertise than civics, but I believe participation in due process has historically been a tool that builds vibrant communities.
I ran for a school board seat two terms ago because I felt I should put my money where my mouth was. It was easy to expound with a friend about our opinions regarding the educational field in which we are both employed. One of us needed to voice all our brilliant ideas at the table! We were even in number of children at home, but since she trumped me in hours worked, I took the plunge.
At my final meeting as a board member, my voice was hampered by a cold and overuse as I coached my students all day long in preparation for their exams. Even so, I wanted to "speak" some closing words. My goal in serving on the board was just that, to serve. Every community benefits from shared service. I am satisfied with the service that I have done.
More importantly, I am satisfied that the district is in good hands. We have forward momentum. Rob [Knight], the photographer, was the first person to share with me the vision of building north of the athletic field, as we are now doing. Jason [Sams], with his experience in security, comes into service at a time when schools everywhere are considering how best to keep students safe. Cindy [Webel] continues to have a keen awareness of voices in the community. Jennifer [Bennett], with her experience in matters of law, vocalizes compelling questions. Pat [Santelli], the conductor, hears all the diverse sounds and brings them together, making one voice out of many.
[Superintendent] Dave [Dunn], similarly, is a uniter — a collaborator. He encourages his team to welcome the divergent voices from all those who have a stake in the success of Norton City Schools. We've heard community input about coaches, programs, locations and stadiums. One of my favorite things to hear has been commendations of students of the month. We've heard from every district administrator and many of the staff. Trust was one of the concerns of the community when I joined the board. Together, these past eight years, a team has come together that welcomes participation of the entire school community and respects what has been heard.
I leave my years of service Panther Proud! Go Norton!
Diane Farmer, Norton

Role Reversal For Kentucky, Florida State In Music City Bowl
Brooks and Bowden face each other for the first time Monday in the Music City Bowl
Dec. 30, 2007
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - It was a revealing, albeit sarcastic plea for mercy from major college football's winningest coach to his friend of nearly three decades. "Don't you feel sorry for me?" Florida State's Bobby Bowden asked Kentucky's Rich Brooks during a news conference Sunday. Brooks and Bowden face each other for the first time Monday in the Music City Bowl, a game that figures to be a role reversal of sorts for the Seminoles, one of the nation's most storied programs, and Wildcats, until recently perennial Southeastern Conference cellar dwellers. Injuries and suspensions from an academic cheating scandal have left Florida State's roster gutted, making Brooks' team a heavy favorite. Just two years ago, the notion would have seemed absurd that Kentucky, trying for its first back-to-back postseason wins in 55 years, might risk complacency against a team that has ended 26 straight seasons with a bowl appearance and won two national titles. But these aren't the Wildcats of two years ago, and with three dozen Florida State players inactive, these aren't even the Seminoles of three weeks ago, let alone the dominant 'Noles of the late 1990s. "We want our football program to be held and seen like where they are," Kentucky linebacker Wesley Woodyard said. "We want to do everything in our power to make sure our program is headed in the right direction." Considering the current woes of Florida State (7-5), victory is all but expected for the Wildcats (7-5). Of course, a loss was expected in last year's Music City Bowl against Clemson, coached by Bowden's son, Tommy. But Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson led the team to an upset to showcase his arrival as one of the nation's top passers, a mantle he has built on this year with 36 TDs - one shy of Tim Couch's team record. "We changed the expectations last year," senior tight end Jacob Tamme said. "I think that's a good thing. But, at the same time, we're here for a second straight year, and nobody's down about that."
Woodson scares Bowden, whose team has already faced two of the country's best quarterbacks this season - Heisman winner Tim Tebow of Florida and Boston College's Matt Ryan, considered by some to be the top passer in next year's NFL draft.
"He's just as dangerous, maybe more so because he can probably run better," Bowden said of how Woodson stacks up with Ryan.
As matchups go, the Seminoles' defense would probably be better equipped against a different kind of offense. They ranked 15th in the nation in stopping the run but only 74th at stopping the pass.
Standout cornerback Patrick Robinson is among those not suiting up for Florida State, along with five key linemen and two top linebackers.
"It's been a struggle but you have to push forward," defensive tackle Kendrick Stewart said. "For the players that are here, we are trying to win this game. We miss those players that are not here but we have to go out and do what we can for the team and show everybody that we are still Florida State."
The Seminoles' roster is so thin, Bowden acknowledges a few unfortunate injuries could force him to play guys on both offense and defense.
"So far we haven't been that desperate, and that is desperate," Bowden said. "And I guess that could happen."
Yet Woodson says he won't allow his teammates to fall into the trap of assuming this is a weak Florida State roster.
"It's still going to be a dogfight," Woodson said. "It's not like we're going to be going against guys who don't belong on the field with us."
Brooks doesn't have the same problems with depth as his friend, but Kentucky will be without top offensive lineman Jason Leger, suspended for an undisclosed rules violation.
Playmaking receiver Keenan Burton was expected to miss the game with a knee injury, but Brooks said Sunday he expects him to try to play.
Kentucky's players insist a second straight Music City appearance isn't a letdown, even in a season that began with far greater promise, including a triple-overtime win against then-No. 1 LSU. The Wildcats found themselves back in Nashville after a late-season swoon that included four losses in five games.
Brooks inherited the team still reeling from probation, and Woodson and other seniors have seen both ends of the spectrum. Thus, the coach is not worried about complacency.
"To win it would be just unbelievable, to reward these seniors who have lived through the difficult and dark times of Kentucky football and seen the bright side the last two years," Brooks said.
Bowden's perspective is somewhat different.
"We could really use it," he said, "but it won't destroy us if we don't win."

Ellis Hamburger, Business Insider
The rumors were true: Google will charge a much lower commission rate than Facebook for in-game transactions.
But only during a limited-time promotional period.
Google+ managers Punit Soni and Bradley Horowitz told VentureBeat that Google will take 5% of revenue from in-game transactions. They didn't say how long the promotion would last, but it could certainly get a lot of social game developers to give Google's game platform a shot.
Facebook takes 30% through Facebook Credits, which became mandatory for all in-game purchases this July.
This is how Google often plays in new and vital markets -- by undercutting the competition. Look at Android for an example.
Maybe Facebook will have an answer in its game developer announcement later today.

From the time they can throw a ball or swing a bat, hundreds of thousands of youngsters dream of being that 40-home run hitter or 20-game winner. Not as many envision themselves growing up as lefthanded relief specialists.
"Probably zero," said Randy Choate, the Cardinals' new sidearming, lefthanded relief specialist.
"It's something that you fall into when you can't get guys out and you just become more specialized because the game allows for it. Ever since college, I've been able to get the lefties out."
Choate, a 37-year-old former teammate of J.D. Drew at Florida State University, began as a starter in the New York Yankees' system. But after posting a 5-1 mark with a 1.73 earned run average at short-season Oneonta in 1997, he had a colossally bad 2-13 mark for Class A Tampa and Class A Greensboro in 21 starts the next year.
"I gave it a go as a starter from a high (arm slot) angle and it just didn't work out," said Choate, who then dropped from his three-quarters motion to his current sidearming slot.
When told by the Yankees in 1999 that they wanted him to be a situational reliever, like Graeme Lloyd with the major league club, Choate said he was told to throw "whatever way is comfortable.
"I kind of went lower," said Choate, "and by the middle of that 1999 season, I was down on the side. I just kind of worked it from there."

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
Tea Party Express Got $7,500 In Donations From A Dead Woman
CRP spoke to the Tea Party Express and Holmes' husband, Lee Holmes, who himself has been a generous donor to the group. Both denied responsibility. Sal Russo, TPE's chief strategist, said he would have the group's treasurer look at the donations.
"She died in 2007? You're kidding me?!" he said.
If TPE finds out the donation was illegal (as it likely was), it has 30 days to either give it back to the donor or give it to the U.S. Treasury.
"Generally, the dead aren't supposed to give," Larry Noble, an attorney at D.C. law firm Skadden Arps and former executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, told the CRP.
CRP also notes that the husband, Lee Holmes, has given donations over the legal limit to Tea Party Express in the past. He has also give excessive donations to Christine O'Donnell's Senate campaign and to Western Representation PAC, a conservative group that tried to unseat Sen. Harry Reid last year. All three gave the excessive contributions back, as is required by law.

I think they are more along the lines of targets then ships lol
I hate to be the guys on that ship. A podunk frigate told to tail an American fleet? No thanks...
That may happen, at which point they will be outraged by our blatant act of war, the sinking of one of their ships by outrunning it.
Who else would have done it? The Saudis and Kuwaitis want the Persian Gulf to be secure. Iraq didn't, until we took out Saddam, but they didn't have a navy, at least, not one capable of dropping mines. Only Iran seeks to blockade the Persian Gulf.
Exactly. Weather in the Arabian Gulf is no threat to a ship the size of a frigate, Hell it's rarely a threat to something the size of a charter fishing boat. Newer designs aren't necessarily faster, improvements over the past couple of decades have had more to do with armament arrangements, efficiency in terms of fuel usage at speed, and damage control arrangements particularly in applying lessons learned in the Falklands War. The only danger they are in is if they choose to do something stupid.

Album Summary

- Ralph Evans (Violin)
- Cristina Ortiz (Piano)
- Efim Boico (Violin)
- Nicol� Eugelmi (Viola)
Notes & Reviews:
Saint-Saëns holds a vital place in the history of French chamber music. At a time when his compatriots were more devoted to opera and song, Saint-Saëns (who wrote both, too) repeatedly produced chamber music of compelling individuality and lasting significance. The 1875 Piano Quartet in B flat major, Op. 41 remains one of the great works in the chamber repertory, a masterful example of the composer's organizational skill and lyric gifts. The gorgeous Barcarolle is followed by the youthful Piano Quintet in A minor, Op. 14, a brilliantly confident work with a concerto-like role for the piano.
MusicWeb International, 26th April 2013
A gorgeous programme of Saint-Sadns' beguiling chamber music played with great authority and flair.
Gramophone Magazine, May 2013
The performances could hardly be more finely attuned to the technical challenges, while the composer's own booklet-notes set the scene succinctly...As a 'feast for the senses', Whalley's music demonstrably has much to recommend it.
The Observer, 2nd June 2013
The Fine Arts Quartet play with perfectly judged elegance throughout. A fine recording.
American Record Guide, September/October 2013
This new Naxos of the piano quartet is simply wonderful; it has all the best elements of the other recordings. The sound is as good as the MDG - which was actually a surprise. The playing is smooth and rich. The phrasing is ideal; and the last movement is not rushed, so it builds nicely. The Piano Quintet is earlier and rarer. It is natural to combine these two works, and no one else seems to have done it. The Nash ensemble does include it and it's much better played than the Piano Quartet. In fact, if you like a very dominant piano, Ian Brown plays that way on Hyperion. He's very good. I want the piece in my collection, and I'd be happy with either the Nash Ensemble or the new Naxos. The Barcarolle was originally written with a harmonium, originally played by the composer. I'd like to hear that. It's a nice piece. This is a very recent American recording, and it belongs with the very best - as do the performances.

It is difficult to know where to begin, as the entire disc is sooooooooo good! The Piano Quartet is marvelously performed, with just the right amount of light-handedness when appropriate, and lyrical but purposeful phrases from the piano applying driving pressure but without dominating. This is fine chamber music making, and the Fine Arts Quartet w/ Ms. Ortiz does a fantastic job here. The piece is evocative, captivating, and provocative. I must confess to listening to it again and again.
The Barcarolle is a wonderful choice as the middle piece, breathing and flowing while the piano makes point after point. This is a piece that is not heard often, and that is a shame because it is truly wonderful.
The disc finishes with the Piano Quintet, and again the Fine Arts Quartet and Ms. Ortiz bring this work to dramatic life right from the get-go. The work swirls and builds to crescendo after crescendo, with astonishing sensitivity throughout. The Andante movement is just a treat, and the closing Allegro movement is marvelously played and has a very organic feel to it.
I have nothing negative to say about this recording. It is fantastic! Highly Recommended.
