If you don't know who Gao Zhisheng is, welcome to the vast club. It may take a moment, maybe a fleeting reference in the paper, to call up his name and dossier. He's just one of the anonymous masses toiling away in Communist China's empire of slave labor camps. Or at least he was till he was released sometime last month. Which is about the only occasion on which an inmate may get a moment's notice from the comfortable rest of us. Then he makes the news. Otherwise, the only release is provided by death.
If, like me, you didn't recognize the name, at least not for a moment, that's just the way The Authorities on the Chinese mainland want it. One object of locking up such political undesirables, besides torturing them to death, or maybe worse, a living death, is to reduce them to an unperson, someone unidentified and unidentifiable, so there's no danger of his infecting others with anything so dangerous as an idea. Just have him disappear. Become non-existent. Or better yet, blot out any trace of his ever having existed.
Gao Zhisheng, born 1964, in
George Orwell's "1984" may still be the best guide available to a communist or any other totalitarian society. No wonder we were forbidden to bring a copy with us when our group of American editorial writers toured
In any list of the neo-words George Orwell gave us with his invention of newspeak, Unperson must rank high. It retains its relevance every time a name like Gao Zhisheng breaks though our apathy. Which is not nearly often enough. And that's just fine with those running
Then there are subjugated colonies like Tibet, a troubled province or two like Xinjiang, and, of course, formally acquired but still informally resisting
You might also call Gao Zhisheng a zek, which was Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's prison shorthand for an inmate of the extensive Gulag Archipelago in the old
As for Gao Zhisheng, he has been reduced to a ghostlike figure with few if any identifying marks. Like the usual 15 minutes of fame, or maybe just five in his case, whenever he was nominated again for a Nobel Peace Prize. (He would be one of the rare nominees who actually deserved one.)
On his release from a labor camp, the 50-year-old Gao had been reduced to a Chinese version of
Perhaps I should call him the former Gao Zhisheng in honor of the days when he still had a name instead of a number. That was before he had spent three years in a cramped cell, was denied anything like reading material or human contact, and was fed one (1) slice of bread a day, along with one (1) piece of cabbage.
What had earned him such luxury? As a once prominent lawyer, he had defended the defenseless, spoken up for human rights and simple human dignity, and represented persecuted members of various religious minorities, prominent among them the Falun Gong.
And if all that weren't enough to earn him the attention of a modern police state, just who he is would have been sufficient: a Christian. Christianity is one of the whole encyclopedia of thoughtcrimes that can merit a prison sentence or worse in that vast "people's republic."
Gao Zhisheng could just as well be a Taoist or Buddhist or Confucian, or an adherent of any other variety of oldthink that worships a god other than the State to get such treatment. Let's just say his file is bulging with subversive activities, associations and, worst of all, thoughts.
. . .
None of this is new in
Tumult, weeping, many new ghosts.
Heartbroken, aging, alone, I sing
To myself. Ragged mist settles
In the spreading dusk. Snow scurries
In the coiling wind....
Everywhere men speak in whispers.
I brood on the uselessness of letters.
Uselessness? So it may seem to an old and much abused sage, and yet, and yet ... In a faraway country where freedom still shines,
Ours is a land once known as the mother of exiles. And now America awaits Gao Zhisheng's arrival, and so does his family, which is already here. If only he can get out someday, somehow. If only his name is not forgotten. Which is why it matters that Americans and free men and women everywhere know who he is, and keep his name alive--
Gao Zhisheng.
Gao Zhisheng.
Gao Zhisheng.

Before, During, and After 1
(We removed a non-working hot tub before starting the project.
Ken later built our huge potting bench using the salvaged wood.)
Garden Closeups
Ken took my little camera out to the garden this evening and came back with these. I don't know why I can't get the same camera to take such great shots, but I'm not complaining.
|A new coneflower we planted last year.
|Lead plant has such beautiful blooms and interesting leaves. We love the contrast of its blueish color to the green grasses, too.
|The bee balm (Wild Bergamot) is just starting to pop open.
|We're so happy to have Wooly Verbena coming back. Hardly any came up last year, but it's making a comeback this year.
|Our purple coneflowers are coming on nicely.
|We call False Sunflower (Heliopsis) "Old Faithful." This flower has been our most loyal standby since we sowed the wildflower mix. It blooms early, all season long, and profusely.

While the technical construction industry isn't as massive as residential or commercial construction, it's still important to know that you're working with the right team for your construction management services when you are ready to build your lab space. So, how do you know which group to choose when you need lab construction services? What do you need to look for in order to make sure that your project is exactly the way you need it, up to high-quality standards, and completed on time within budget? Consider the following as you look for a construction management service to complete your lab design and construction.
Look at Past Projects
Past projects and a portfolio of work are some of the best indications for any company. Seeing what lab projects a specialized construction management company has completed and talking to their clients about the experience during the process, will give you a strong indication of what type of experience you should expect for yourself. If you're looking for very specialized set-ups, ask if they have down any previously. If you're looking for a turn-key solution, check and see what results they can provide. While many companies will have similar solutions, if you have unique needs, you want to make sure those can be met.
Can They Offer a Full Suite of Services?
Knowing that a construction management company that specialized in lab builds can offer a wide variety of products and services is critical. You many never know exactly what you need to begin with (or maybe you do) but through the planning process, you don't want to find out that the company you have chosen to work with can't provide exactly what you need, forcing you to start all over with someone else. You want to work with a group that has the knowledge and skill in order to provide all the services you need for your lab construction. Additionally, knowing that a company is able to follow through with maintenance for your lab on a regular basis is simply an added benefit.
What is Their Accreditation?
Just like your lab will probably have accreditation standards, you will want to look into a construction management company's accreditations and certifications in order to make sure they can execute the high standards you require. Check for liability insurance, worker's compensation, and other safety accreditations that can give you more information about a company.
Let LCS Constructors be your construction management company of choice for any lab design and construction needs.

I made a mistake with my last entry. I read it as the word was bones, but it's actually a picture prompt.
So here's the entry –
'I can't see anything!'
'Of course you can't Kev, we're in a cave!'
Len got annoyed with his brother; didn't he know how important this was? They carried on walking further into the cave. Len was right, it was very dark, but that didn't matter, what mattered was 'The Orb of Bones'.
They started to feel crunching under their feet, and the cave became lighter, 'We must be close!' whispered Kev.
'Kev, Look!'
There, under the beam of sunlight coming from a crack, sat what they came for, they finally found the Orb; this was worth coming down here for.

Dummy iPhone 5 Smarter Than It Looks, Reveals Several Features
The rumors about the iPhone 5 are well and truly floating around and the latest is a leaked video that shows a dummy iPhone 5 having a larger screen of around 4 inches. This is in fact a mold that is reportedly being used by accessories manufacturers to begin production of accessories of the iPhone 5 and have them ready in time for the launch of the device.
Dummy iPhone 5 says a lot
The video of the dummy iPhone 5 also shows that the screen of the phone is longer than on previous models and the camera has been moved to the middle of the device. The width of the handset is said to be smaller too.
Last week the device's front panel was shown in high quality pictures and these were said to have come from a distributor in China. One photo showed the assembled front panel from the font and this was stood at the side of the equivalent part of an iPhone 4S. This was to show just how Apple had been able to minimize the increase of the height of the handset by shrinking down the margins of the top and bottom to make the impact of the taller screen subtle.
It was rumored that the iPhone 5 would have support for NFC but this is in doubt due to the thinness of the device and the fact that metal may have been used on the back of the iPhone 5. According to the folks over at BusinessInsider, these dummy iPhone 5 molds can be purchased in China for as low as $8 right now.

From the start of its formal operations three years ago, the Anglican Alliance has brought together development, relief ands advocacy across the Communion with a distance learning programme, a series of global workshops and seminars, appeals for emergency relief and advocacy from the grassroots to the G20.
The seven-strong team in London, Brazil, Kenya, Bangladesh and Honiara have built up partnerships with Anglican and Episcopal churches to support their work. The Alliance was recently established as a charitable company with Most Revd Albert Chama, Archbishop of Central Africa, as the chair of the board of trustees.
Building on existing innovative and effective programmes and partnerships, the new executive director will work with the board to develop a learning culture, build capacity in advocacy and relief work, increase effective use of IT and secure the financial base of the Alliance. One of the first jobs will be to develop the Alliance's future strategy.
Outstanding communication skills as well as an established commitment to international development and to the beliefs of the Anglican Communion are needed for this post, along with a proven track record of managing a complex global organisation in business, government or the third sector. An ability to present and work at high levels, as well as coming alongside vulnerable people affected by poverty and injustice, is the rare blend needed in this position.
An initiative of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Anglican Communion, the Alliance has flourished since it started in 2011. In its first three years it has developed a global programme and built relations with ecumenical and other development partners. With a mandate for development, relief and advocacy, the Alliance is constituted as a charitable company, and the new executive director will work with the global board of trustees.
The current director, Sally Keeble, was appointed on a three year contract which ends in January 2013. She is not seeking renewal of her contract, and is returning to politics.

Sean joined his father, Tim, in representing disability claimants as a law clerk in December 2005. Since he was admitted to the Nebraska Bar in September 2008, 90% of his practice has been devoted to Social Security and Veterans' disability. Sean splits half of the firm's caseload with Tim . He assists clients with filing initial applications, filing appeals, and representation at the administrative hearings.
"The biggest enjoyment I get out of practicing law is making a difference in my client's life. There is no greater sense of accomplishment than to help a client get ready for a hearing, win the hearing, and to help the client get the financial support and medical benefits that they need. A lot of my clients really struggle during the disability process and it makes me happy to see them smile after they win their case."
In Sean's spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife Kortney and children-Jack, Emily and Maggie. He also enjoys watching Husker football, reading, socializing with friends, and running. Most importantly, the Cuddigan family enjoys attending Creighton sporting events, especially Creighton basketball games. To that end, Sean enjoys coaching Jack in the local YMCA basketball league, the Mighty Hoopsters league, a competitive group of kindergartners that are trying to channel their inner Doug McDermott.

The weight loss industry is booming right now. They truly are selling weight loss pills, drop some weight starightaway schemes, ab rollers and training videos. There are around 750 million individuals globally either obese or overweight.
If you want to lose fifteen to twenty pounds or you have specific health issues, you need to allow your physician evaluate you before you begin a weight loss program. A similar thing is applicable whenever you are at this time on medication. A medical doctor should assess your overall Cronulla physio and that means you will never be at risk of any problems. A medical doctor may have the ability to recommend the right program for you personally.
Just what exactly have we acquired from training after 5 years? That is a simple and exciting concern to solution. After just two months with this training, a nagging and recurring back pain that I'd for several years went away. I became able to stop getting straight back treatments from my chiropractor. That was 5 years ago and I also haven't required any further therapy since.
Getting the parrot to "turn around" is another trick that can be learnt quite quickly. The concept is to find the parrot to accomplish the full turn on the perch. To start this trick, hold a piece of food sideways associated with the parrot so that it has to turn its head. Ask it to "turn around" so that as it reaches for the food move it behind the bird such that it turns entirely around regarding perch. As soon as this has turned around, offer it a delicacy.
HEPA filters in an air cleanser are well at the removal of airborne allergens as well as other pollutants. These filters are recognized to remove at the least 99.97per cent of toxins measuring as little as 0.3 microns.
The complainers are about themselves or 'poor me'. Now, many 'poor me' individuals do have things wrong within their life. Their issues are real so they really may feel justified in being a 'poor me'. But being a 'poor me' places you into victim mode and being a victim is not healthier or wise. We frequently do not know that all our mental poison and actions keep carefully the cycle of negative energy drifting back again to us. That which you give out returns to you. For a 'poor me', this is creates a very important factor after another to whine about. Just how do we stop this negative period?
Men don't' let Anger suffocate yourself. Take control of your the next day and reside for today. It may be conquered and controlled. Put it to use as a motivating force to produce your lifetime better as well as for other people. Anger will be your ally and not your enemy.

The University of Southampton is planning on ditching its Sharepoint installation to publish equipment and asset data, after developing an interface with UNIT4 that connects to its Agresso ERP platform and publishes data into an online, open database.
This interface was developed in response to a number of mandates and cuts that have been made by Research Councils UK that promote equipment sharing both within and across educations institutions in the UK. Capital budgets have been reduced by 50 per cent across the Research Councils, and the aim is to get the best possible value from existing investments – avoiding needless duplication of equipment.
Adrian Cox, project manager at the University of Southampton, was speaking this week at UNIT4's customer conference in Birmingham, where he explained how the Research Council's cuts spawned the Uniquip Project.
"Uniquip is about looking at defining the standards for cataloguing and publishing information about research facilities and equipment within our databases. We have been working with Uniquip, because we felt it was a requirement if this sharing of data across institutions is going to work nationally," said Cox.
"The data we produce, along with a number of institutions involved, is going to be fed into the data.ac.uk community – a website that brings together a lot of the data sharing technical expertise from the UK. That should hopefully go live next week."
He added: "We have been working really hard with a number of consortia across the country to establish specifications and standardise how the data should be shared."
The idea is that universities across the UK will publish a standardised set of data online about the facilities and equipment that they have on site. This will then be fed into data.ac.uk, which will allow researchers to search for what facilities there are available at what universities.
Critically, this data is going to be linked. So it will not only be a list of facilities or equipment, but it will include fields like location, enabling researchers to search for equipment by distance. Other data that might be included are pictures and detailed descriptions.
Cox told Computerworld UK that he is planning to scrap the University's current approach of publishing data via Sharepoint, because this is cumbersome and isn't easy to feed the data into.
"Our Sharepoint system does use the Uniquip specification, but one of the biggest issues we had was the sustainability of that data. The system requires finance to align the data with Sharepoint, and if you are going through a major procurement exercise there is going to be so much data going through that it causes problems," said Cox.
"Most universities have a download of their finance system, in our case Agresso, into Sharepoint. However, this was becoming quite burdensome."
Cox, instead of always uploading the data into Sharepoint, engaged with UNIT4 to develop an interface for the Agresso system that allowed relevant people at the University to access the Agresso fixed asset module directly to provide better descriptions of asset data, which is then uploaded every 24 hours straight into an online Agresso database.
"The interface looks like a typical Agresso screen, but it has the Uniquip standardised fields that have been agreed across the universities – contact information, location information, building sites, publishing levels. Researchers, or finance people, at the university can now access the Agresso platform and input the data, which is then uploaded daily online to be searched by other institutions across the UK," said Cox.
"We are trying to make sure that we create efficiencies and that there is good equipment available."

GMCD 7278 – Organ Music by Dupré, Langlais, Massiaen, Ropartz, Vierne & Litaize with Colin Walsh
Colin Walsh at the Organ of Lincoln Cathedral
To the CD in our Shop
Organists' Review February 2005
Langlais Suite Brève; Incantation pour un jour Saint; Evocation; Messiaen Offrande au Saint Sacrament; Litaize Scherzo; Lied; Epiphanie; Ropartz Prélude Funèbre; Vierne Trois improvisations; Dupre Evocation
My experience of the Lincoln organ has been primarily from the console and not as a listener and I have always felt it a litt1e diluted from that position -even without the 'greenhouse'. I was delighted to hear this recording which captures the organ as I have never heard it; speaking to the building with the full beauty of all of its voices, and there is much beauty there.
The playing is particularly vital, idiosyncratic (in a good way) and, apart from the generally refined sound of the organ, which lacks the cragginess of its French counterparts (strings too smooth, orchestral reeds too 'pleasant' and well- blended chorus work) the sound-world is quite authentic. (perhaps with the widening of Europe we may see organs losing more of their national f1avour, a little like current worldwide trends in wine?)
Walsh studied with Langlais for three years, which led him to specialise in this repertoire and the Langlais on this disc can probably be regarded as an ideal reference. I was delighted to hear the three Litaize compositions; good to have them available -Lied is particularly lovely. This must be the second recording of this recently discovered Messiaen and the Dupre Evocation which ends the disc is a tour de force of Frenchness from an English organ (not forgetting Father Willis' French studies), and a stunning way to end the disc.
I liked David Gammie's richly informative notes. The English and German booklet contains all the usual information -some photographs would have been welcome.
American Record Guide – January/February 2005
Walsh, the often recorded Organist Laureate at Lincoln Cathedral, performs this program on the 4-70 Willis-Harrison (1898/1998) there. The selections were apparently chosen to trace French organ music from the late 1890s to the 1960s. If the aim was to supply such a panorama, one would get the impression that it was a somber period of time. Most of the literature is familiar to most organists. Walsh plays everything with assurance and good control. His tempos tend toward the slower side. The making is somewhat remote, so there is little brightness. Further, as this organ has few mixtures, Langlais's 'Dialogue' has little bite to it. 'Evocation' (Homage to Rameau) is the longest track, and the instrument sounds the best on this piece. Incantation is heard at a slower pace than usual (compare Walsh's 7:52 with Fejko's 5:28 (Arkay 6104) or Hakim's 6:02 (Motette 11171).
The Lincoln Pedal division is substantial, often dominating the sonority. The biggest surprise is the Messiaen, a very early piece discovered by his widow and published in 2001. Quite the opposite of the style we have come to know, this piece smacks a bit of Le Banquet Celeste. Smooth chromatic upper lines ascend and descend over gently moving string harmonies. A haunting piece.
It is good to see the work of Litaize (1909-91) on the program. His music often has jazzy rhythms. One hears a much more conservative approach on these selections – a breezy Scherzo, a plaintive Lied (perhaps his best known piece), and an ebullient 'Epiphanie'. If you enjoy his music, try a whole disc of it with Bouchard (REM311128).
The Vierne pieces are nicely performed and seem made for an instrument like this. The concluding 'Evocation' by Dupré, after all its snarling and bitterness, finishes with a tutti C-major chord. But even that triumphant ending can't displace the dark mood that prevails. For this piece, try Toren (Proprius 9003- Sept/Oct 1998) or Castagnet (Sony 57485). METZ

A most desirable disc. One of the finest organ recitals that I have heard recently. …
To a certain extent, Ropartz is the 'Odd Man Out' in this superb and generously filled selection of French organ music. Of course, he and Vierne were disciples of Franck, whereas the other composers are related to each other in one way or another. Vierne was Dupré's mentor and Dupré was the teacher of Messiaen, Langlais and Litaize. Moreover the three younger composers were exact contemporaries and died within the space of a few months in 1991-1992.
Ropartz's Prélude Funèbre, composed at the turn of the century, is much indebted to Franck's chromatic writing, but is nevertheless an impressive and moving piece in its own right. Its current neglect is hard to understand.
Vierne, for all his indebtedness to tradition, was one of the first organists to commit his interpretations to disc. This happened in 1928 when he recorded some pieces by Bach as well as the Improvisations heard here and later transcribed into written notation by Duruflé. This was fortunate for these fine works would have been irretrievably lost, were if not for Duruflé's dedicated and painstaking efforts. "Oh, well, some pompous republican marches will do!". These beautiful improvisations are actually much more than that, of course; for if the outer pieces fit that 'cap' (although pomposity is totally absent), the central Meditation is a real little gem.
Messiaen's early Offrande au Saint Sacrement was found among his papers after his death. It is obviously an early work, composed in the early 1930s, at the outset of Messiaen's career. It already sounds clearly 'Messiaen-ish' enough to justify its inclusion in any complete recording of his organ music (as in Olivier Latry's recent recording).
The three pieces by Langlais are beautifully done. I enjoyed the marvellous Suite Brève, short in terms of playing time but packed with invention. His impressive Evocation, actually the fourth movement of his Hommage à Rameau of 1964 and the longest single item here, makes me eager to hear that major work complete. I do hope that Colin Walsh will consider it for an all-Langlais disc some day. This is a piece of substance, highly virtuosic and of great expressive strength as is the somewhat more straightforward Incantation pour un jour Saint.
I had never heard a note of Litaize, although I knew him quite well as a distinguished organist. Of the three short pieces heard here, I particularly enjoyed the nimble-footed Scherzo of 1932 and the appealing Lied of 1934 with its echoes of Ravel's Mother Goose – a particularly touching piece.
Dupré is represented here by the third movement Allegro deciso from his triptych Evocation Op.37 composed in 1941 in memory of his father. This is actually the second recording of it that I have been able to review here – the other one is on Lammas LAMM 164D Sounds French. It made me really willing to hear the complete triptych which is available on Naxos 8.554211. This rousing piece, a 'Song of Resistance' if ever there was one, provides for an uplifting conclusion to this magnificent release superbly played by Colin Walsh on the glorious organ of Lincoln Cathedral and magnificently recorded. A most desirable disc. One of the finest organ recitals that I have heard recently.

The recording of the organ of Lincoln Cathedral is of the highest quality and Guild are to be congratulated on a release that is hard to fault …
Guild records have released an exceptionally fine recording of French organ music which embraces three generations of composers. This spans a period of some seventy years, ranging mainly from the late-romanticism of the early 1900s to the very different sound-world of the 1960s.
Guy Ropartz and Louis Vierne, were both pupils of César Franck. Marcel Dupré was a protégé of Vierne. Jean Langlais, Gaston Litaize and Olivier Messiaen were pupils of Dupré and all three entered Dupré's Organ Class at the Paris Conservatoire in 1927. As fate would have it, they all died within the space of a few months, in 1991-92. By this time Messiaen had achieved word-wide recognition and Langlais was gaining acclaim as the successor of Franck and Tournemire at the Basilica of Sainte-Clotilde.
Langlais and Litaize were both blind (as was Vierne) and they both benefited from the inspiring musical education provided by the Institut des Jeunes Aveugles in Paris. After his studies with Dupré, Langlais joined the Composition Class of Paul Dukas, who told him that he was "a born composer."
The Suite Brève (1947) was one of the first works which Langlais published as Organiste du Grande Orgue de la Basilique Ste Clotilde, soon after his appointment late in 1945. The freshness and individuality of the music won many friends in France and America but provoked a more negative reaction from conservative British church circles. Langlais's chant-based Incantation pour un jour Saint (1949) was inspired by the ancient liturgy of the Easter Vigil, which marks the first celebration of the resurrection of Christ during the night preceding Easter Sunday.
Olivier Messiaen was a complex and original thinker who frequently ventured into foreign and often exotic worlds of musical expression, far removed from those in which his contemporaries moved. The manuscript of Messiaen's Offrande au Saint Sacrement was discovered among his papers by his widow after his death. This piece, which is thought to be an early work, was published as recently as 2001.
Gaston Litaize has never acquired a worldwide reputation on quite the same scale as Messiaen or Langlais, but he was a distinguished teacher and a great performing artist with an encyclopaedic repertoire. Two of his works in this programme are concert pieces, taken from a set of Douze Pièces composed at various times during the 1930s, and published in 1939. The feather-light Scherzo (1932) is a worthy successor to the French tradition of concert scherzos established in the 19th century by Gigout and Widor, and then developed by Louis Vierne and Maurice Duruflé. The Lied of (1934) is a deeply-felt and beautifully-proportioned song-without-words.
Langlais's spectacular Evocation was composed in 1964 as part of a suite entitled Homage to Rameau, which was commissioned by the French Minister of Fine Arts in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the death of Rameau. Incidentally, the initial letters of the titles of the six movements form an acrostic which spells out Rameau's name. Langlais gives no clue as to exactly what is being evoked in this piece, but it is undeniably one of his most successful and spectacular concert works.
The music of Guy Ropartz comes from a very different world. After his studies with Massenet and Franck, Ropartz left Paris and spent the whole of his long life fostering the musical life of provincial France. He was Director of the Conservatories at Nancy and then at Strasbourg. Ropartz was the only one of these six composers here who was not a professional organist. His organ music forms just a small part of his prolific output as a composer. His elegiac Prélude funèbre (1896) is a memorable essay in the post-Franck style, the poignant melody and intricate accompaniment recalling the introspective intensity of Franck's own Prière.
Louis Vierne was the great romantic among the French organist/composers of his generation. Vierne was blind and was Organist of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame for nearly forty years. He died there on the organ-bench during a recital in 1937. At a 1928 recording session at the Notre-Dame Cathedral, Vierne performed works of J.S. Bach and also set down Three Improvisations which Maurice Duruflé was to later transcribe into written notation.
Marcel Dupré forms the link between the generations in this programme. Ambitious and single-minded in the pursuit of his artistic ideals, Dupré was a remarkable character; as Professor at the Paris Conservatoire, organist of Saint-Sulpice, tireless international concert artist, and prolific composer, he dominated the French organ world of his time. Described as a symphonic poem, Evocation was written in memory of his father. Composed in 1944 in occupied France in the middle of the second world war, at a time of deep personal sorrow, this music mixes nostalgia, anger and defiance into a potent brew.
British organist Colin Walsh has given numerous recitals in many countries throughout the world and is steadily building an excellent reputation for himself. Walsh who has studied with Simon Preston and the composer/organist Jean Langlais has met Olivier Messiaen and is a celebrated interpreter of 20th century French repertoire.
This is an outstanding recital and the soloist is a splendid advocate for these twentieth century French works. The more substantial scores such as Langlais's Suite Brève and Evocation are performed with tremendous conviction, substantial authority and convey a most compelling atmosphere. Shorter works such as Litaize's Scherzo, Lied and Epiphanie are played with total sureness and with real depth in what is a most successful and well planned recital. I must single out Vierne's Three Improvisations for special praise where the soloist's empathy with the score is breathtaking and emotionally compelling.
The recording of the 1898 'Father Willis' organ of Lincoln Cathedral is of the highest quality and Guild are to be congratulated on a release that is hard to fault.

Listen to this article
The luck of the Irish has been in short supply since the Celtic Tiger's roar became more of a whimper in 2008, but things are now looking up for the island nation after five bleak years of stifling austerity measures. At the same time a group of talented and resourceful designers have emerged who are producing bold new products.
These designers set up shop at a time when the odds were strongly against them, but with the country being pummelled by the downturn they had little choice but to become innovative. That is exactly what the four founders of the Irish Handmade Glass Company did when, in 2009, one of Ireland's best-known brands, Waterford Wedgwood, went into receivership and the Waterford Crystal factory – where these men had spent their entire working lives – closed down.
The group of four, who range in age from mid-40s to early 60s, are made up of three master glass-blowers – Tony Hayes, Richard Rowe and Derek Smith – and master glass-cutter Danny Murphy. They combined their skills, invested their personal savings, took a bank loan as well as a big leap of faith to start their own fledgling glass business in 2010 – the same year Ireland took an €85m bailout.
Since then, and with the help of local support, this group of middle-aged men have crafted their own thriving company. Their handmade, lead-free pieces, with prices starting at €20 and rising to €300 for a centrepiece, are sold throughout the country and are gaining an international profile. "People thought it was great that we got off our backsides and did something, and they want to buy products that are made in Ireland," says Hayes.
Furniture maker and designer James Carroll, who goes by the trade name Stickman, makes pieces using material gathered in his own forest in the Wicklow Mountains. He has also seen an uptick in local trade, particularly since the slump.
"I seem to be doing better since the downturn than I did through the Celtic Tiger [years]. I'm not sure if it's because people are responding more to the more wholesome products. A curator recently said that 'authenticity' is very big at the minute," he says. "Maybe people are becoming more aware of sustainable design."
Carroll likes to do things back to front. Instead of having an idea and gathering the materials to execute it, he works around the wood he already has in his forest – "I've got ash, oak, a little bit of sweet chestnut, there's beech and birch as well" – and then creates the products.
One of his favourite materials is bog oak, which he says can be "fairly hard to work with: blunts tools easily, and makes you dirty". But, he continues: "It can be buttery when fresh out of the bog. If you try to impose a shape on it, it doesn't react well; it demands different ways of working it than other types of wood, but it can be like ebony when it is finished with an edge tool, as opposed to a sanded finish."
Carroll's bog oak and yew pod stool (£450) is a combination of beautifully smooth and golden-orange coloured wood from the yew tree – considered sacred in Irish mythology – and rich, black bog oak which is thousands of years old. "Once its uniqueness and history is communicated it has a real appeal," he says.
Laura Magahy, who chairs the recently renamed Design & Crafts Council of Ireland, agrees with both Carroll and the Irish Handmade Glass Company, saying that "the Irish public has been unbelievably supportive of buying Irish, people are going into stockists asking for Irish products."
Irish design has yet to make its mark on modern design internationally. Renowned instead for Claddagh rings and Celtic crosses, these up-and-coming designers want to shed the outdated image of rural Ireland swaddled in Aran knits. "Obviously our heritage is incredibly important . . . but there has been an evolution of technologies which have pushed the boundaries of craft practice and pushed it more towards design and product. It's craft interfacing with design," says Magahy.
Uniting some of these designers' products is the online store Makers & Brothers, set up by brothers Jonathan and Mark Legge in 2012. Their site was born out of "a frustration with how design and craft was represented in Ireland – we didn't really like what we saw. Then we decided to do something about it and just made something happen," says Jonathan.
After a successful pop-up shop test run in Dublin in 2009, they launched their online business in December 2011. It is a mix of Irish and international designers, although two-thirds of the products are Irish-made.
Makers & Brothers will be taking part in a large-scale promotion next year celebrating the country's designers called the Year of Irish Design, which was launched by Ireland's deputy prime minister Eamon Gilmore in January. It will be convened by the Design & Crafts Council and will show off the nation's design talent at home and abroad.
"I think there are huge opportunities to market Irish design internationally and that's what the Year of Design is going to be all about," says Magahy. "A big part of that programme is to bring the best of Irish design to international cities."
Successfully bringing their products to far-flung markets are Dublin-based Clancy Moore Architects, formed by Andrew Clancy and Colm Moore. The pair recently struck a deal with the Conran Shop to sell their copper and brass Strand lamps in the UK, France and Japan.
They stumbled into product design inadvertently, says Clancy. They originally created the lamp as a wedding present for a friend after trawling through unsuitable gift ideas, but when "Jonathan Legge from Makers & Brothers saw it he basically said to me, 'That has potential'," says Clancy. The pair then took the "crude" prototype, refined it, adjusted it and created a tall and short version – which now sell from €395, each one handmade and individually numbered.
"Colm and I were always interested in product design – we would observe it and be frustrated by it. But it wasn't an area that we felt was our domain," says Clancy.
The duo are now moving on to their next product; a pendant light called the Fuchsia, and are also launching an investment rally to "build the brand into something bigger," says Clancy.
Another duo, friends Karl Medcalf and Shane Wilson, founded design company Locker 13 in Dublin in 2009. "Design jobs are pretty limited in Ireland, and we were both committed to staying here, so with a bit of experience under our belt [10 years] we decided we'd make a break and did so when we found a nice opportunity for a space," says Wilson.
"Obviously with the recession there was less work around, but we moved into the Malthouse Design Centre and our costs were lower. Supplier costs were lower as well, everyone was in the same boat . . . But things seem to be picking up again this year," he continues. "There's about 15 businesses in the centre now, a mix of architects and designers."
Their creations include lively lights such as the Comfort Lamp (€225), made using old fabric conditioner bottles as a mould for the handmade ceramic base and thousands of brightly coloured plastic beads to create the shade; side tables with a twist (Sadhbh table); and the bright and bold Allsort Range consisting of foot stools, tables and stools.
Claire-Anne O'Brien, a textile designer from County Cork, also plays with colour and scale. She has taken the traditional Irish knit and given it a new spin. Inspired by RTÉ (the Irish national broadcaster) documentary Hands made in the 1970s on Irish craft, she says: "It is just looking at traditional techniques and playing with them. Playing with the scale, the colour and the form and making them more contemporary."
O'Brien, who is based in London, uses the small knit stitch and blows it up into bold statement pieces for her Olann collection (prices start at £350) made up of chairs and stools, giving a playful edge to her designs.
Although O'Brien talks of moving home she says: "In reality it's just easier to be here. You've got an industry and network here."
However, the craft industry alone in Ireland is worth €500m a year, and the prospects for a fruitful future appear positive.
"What's really important is that people from Ireland who are involved in craft and design get off the island and see what's happening internationally," says Laura Magahy.

For 12 years Randy Cohen was the original writer of "The Ethicist," a weekly column for the New York Times Magazine. He received thousands of letters about people's moral dilemmas and responded to hundreds, some dealing with words, writing and books—four of which we reproduce below. These, and many others of Cohen's choicest letters, have now been reprinted, with some interesting additional thoughts and comments, in Cohen's new book, Be Good.
Post-Ethicist, Randy Cohen's most recent venture is the radio show Person Place Thing, the next installment of which will be an October 10 interview with the writer and comedian John Hodgman, held at the 92nd Street Y Tribeca in New York City.
Found diary
My son found an adolescent girl's diary, an amazing sociological and cultural document, in front of a McDonald's. I'm an artist and writer and want to reproduce it in a limited edition down to its spiral binding, drawings, and coffee stains. I take the postmodern position that I can do whatever I want with it, though I would respect the diary's privacy (her name is nowhere in it) and change any identifying factors. Is reproducing someone's innermost thoughts permissible in the name of art?
—Rita Sirignano, Calgary, Alberta
It is not permissible to publish someone's work, particularly her most intimate thoughts, without consent. Indeed, it is disturbing that you apparently made no effort to return this diary to its owner by leaving word at that McDonald's, for example, or putting up posters in the neighborhood.
Your editing might protect the diarist from some embarrassment, but not all (surely the people who know her well would deduce her identity). But even if she were impervious to embarrassment, you may not peremptorily publish. Postmodern is one word for what you propose; there are others that are more accurate and less self-serving.
The law coincides with ethics here. One lawyer emailed me: "In countries that adhere to the Berne Convention (and that would be most of the world), the diary gained copyright protection at the moment each entry was written; thus, reprinting it (i.e., copying it) would be copyright infringement, pure and simple. In the United States, such willful infringement is not just a tort but can be a federal crime."
Fostering racism
I'm learning the old-time clawhammer-style banjo playing that accompanies fiddlers in traditional Appalachian string bands. When I gather with other musicians, some of the old songs we play include the offensive N word. Should we play these songs as they have come down to us or change the offensive lyrics?
—J.R., Toledo, OH
The Stephen Foster problem. Its solution depends as much upon your audience as on you. You ought not perform these songs for a skinhead crowd as a way to supercharge its racist sing-along and rock-throw. Even if you're performing for a genial and rockless audience, you should either provide some context or skip the disturbing parts of this repertory, noting your omissions and briefly explaining why you've made them. Honesty compels you to give your listeners some sense of the original odious lyrics; discretion sometimes compels allusion rather than expression. To spring bigotry set to music on the unwary is to violate an implicit agreement between performer and listener. You wouldn't offer to provide a movie for a five-year-old's birthday party and show the kids Psycho.
You may sing the unalloyed originals when you're performing for an audience that knows what it's getting into. It is important to preserve and understand the relics of our past, even the most shameful aspects of that past. No good is served by creating a cleaned-up, artificial America. You simply need to make sure that an audience has a choice about what they'll be hearing. If they've been alerted—via your posters and program, perhaps—and wish to listen to historically accurate material, then discuss and sing. That is, give it not just the songs but some historical context, some real understanding.
Even when you are playing only with fellow musicians, you have an obligation not to perform these songs naively, but with a sense of their historical meaning. And you'd be wise to consider the coarsening effects on your own sensibilities of casually using such epithets. There is a moral obligation not to be a blockhead and en even more potent duty not to be the cause of blockheadedness in others.
Years ago I saw a bowdlerized "My Old Kentucky Home" on a Kentucky Fried Chicken box. As I recall, the lyrics as presented by Colonel Sanders were "'Tis summer, the young folks are gay." I was put off by this falsification of history, this willingness to dissemble to sell chicken. (And the gravy was kind of glory, too.)
E-book access
I bought an e-reader for travel and was eager to begin Under the Dome, the new Stephen King. Unfortunately, the electronic version was not yet available. The publisher apparently withheld it to encourage people to buy the more expensive hardcover. So I did, all 1,074 pages, more than three and a half pounds. Then I found a pirated version online, downloaded it to my e-reader, and took it on my trip. I generally disapprove of illegal downloads, but wasn't this OK?
—C.D., Brightwaters, NY
An illegal download is—to use an ugly word—illegal. But in this case, it is not unethical. Author and publisher are entitled to be paid for their work, and by purchasing the hardcover, you did so. Your subsequent downloading is akin to buying a CD, then copying it to your iPod.
Buying a book or a piece of music should be regarded as a license to enjoy it on any platform. Sadly, the anachronistic conventions of bookselling and copyright law lag behind the technology. Thus, you've violated the publisher's legal right to control the distribution of its intellectual property, but you've done no harm, or so little as to meet my threshold of acceptability.
To clarify, this is not analogous to buying the hardcover and cruising by the bookstore the next day to swipe the paperback, something that would impose new costs on the publisher. Ideally, publishers would institutionalize my prescription by offering multitiered options when you buy a book, perhaps including a free or discounted e-book to those who have purchased the hardcover, or even offering the hardcover version at a lower price to those who have already purchased the e-book.
Unsurprisingly, many in the book business take a harder line. My friend Jamie Raab, publisher of Grand Central Publishing and an executive vice president of the Hachette Book Group, says, "Anyone who downloads a pirated e-book has, in effect, stolen the intellectual property of an author and publisher. To condone this is to condone theft."
Yet it is a curious sort of theft that involves actually paying for a book. Publishers do delay the release of e-books to encourage hardcover sales—a process called "windowing"—so it is difficult to see you as piratical for actually buying the book ($35 list price, $20 from Amazon) rather than waiting for the $9.99 Kindle edition.
Your action is not pristine. Downloading a bootleg copy could be said to encourage piracy, although only in the abstract—no potential pirate will actually realize you've done it. It's true that you might have thwarted the publisher's intent—perhaps he or she has a violent antipathy to trees, maybe a wish to slaughter acres of them and grind them into Stephen King novels. Or to clog the highways with trucks crammed with Stephen King novels. Or perhaps King himself wishes to improve America's physique by having readers lug massive volumes. So be it. Your paying for the hardcover put you in the clear as a matter of ethics, forestry, and fitness training.
Blind faith
I read for an organization that produces books and magazines on tape for the blind. Recently my assignment was to read articles from a John Birch Society magazine. As someone whose politics are somewhere to the left of left-wing Democrats, I felt uneasy, but I did my assignment, feeling that I had no right to censor what these folks had requested. Should I have refused?
—Martin G. Evans, Cambridge, MA
You were right to read. Your function is akin to a librarian's—to provide requested material, not to judge those requests. The free flow of information is something those of all political persuasions can esteem. (On a personal note, I am surprised and delighted to learn that there actually are left-wing Democrats. Perhaps they're like the ivory-billed woodpecker—just when you think it's extinct, you hear its plangent cry.)
Helping to disseminate what you regard as, at best, claptrap, is a test of your commitment to the ideals of an open society and of your skills as an orator. I'm sure there were moments when it was hard to keep your performance free of scorn and incredulity. I admire your having done so. Then again, if I were your director, I might suggest—strictly as a theatrical matter—punctuating your reading with snorts of derision, the occasional outburst of laughter, and…no, no, no. Never mind.
While my directorial suggestions are dubious, you do face not only ethical but also rhetorical challenges. My friend Earl Howard, blind all his life, told me, "Years ago, when I was a student, I got audiobooks from Recordings for the Blind. Those readers were, to put it kindly, of varying quality. Some were pretty good; some could barely pronounce the words. If you listened to poetry, it would drive you nuts. Most blind people learned to ignore the performance and just hear the words."
Your organization could mitigate this problem if it attempted to accommodate its volunteers' preferences, aesthetic as well as ideological; some people love reading poetry aloud, some do not. But when it cannot make a perfect match, it should explain that there is civic virtue in a volunteer reading whatever he or she is assigned.

Magic Numbers
Having siblings in a band is a dicey proposition. Sometimes, OK rarely, it works just fine. More often it's a hassle. There's too much baggage, old wounds and God only knows whatever else is going on. So having a group with two sets of siblings is asking for trouble. But the Magic Numbers seem on a good track.
Guitarist Romeo and bassist sister Michele Stodart were born and raised Trinidad (where their mother had her own TV opera show). The family moved to New York but later pulled up stakes again, this time to London. London native Sean Gannon met Romeo and the two started working up songs. The last piece of the puzzle came when Sean's sister Angela joined to play percussion, melodica and add vocals.
Plying '60's Country-Folk-Rock styles, with other, more contemporary influences, the Magic Numbers' '05 self-titled debut was co-produced by Craig Silvey (The Coral) along with the Stodarts.
2005 The Magic Numbers
2006 Those the Brokes
2010 The Runaway
2014 Alias
More often than not, when you hear about a new U.K. group there's a mention of how they were adored by the music press. Look, music is one of the few viable industries left in the U.K - and it doesn't pollute - much. The U.K. music press is really just a hype machine designed to keep gullible Americans buying. Of course, every U.S. label is quick to point out the group they're promoting was a darling of the U.K. press, neglecting to mention how short the tenure actually was. That's the Magic Numbers' story.
Their self-titled debut starts like a non-Country take on Country. From the mid-60s through the early '70s, the Lovin' Spoonful, Creedence Clearwater Revival and even the early Eagles did Country with more care, dedication and authority than the folks in Nashville. "Mornings Eleven," "Long Legs," where Romeo comes dangerously close to channeling John Sebastian, and the cheery '60s influenced "Love Me Like You Do," put the Magic Numbers in that category. Had the album stayed in this vein it would have been an entertaining diversion. But no. The thing soon disintegrates into dreary acoustic ramblings. Of these songs, only "Don't Give Up The Fight" has any life.

Gleeks, rejoice! The wait is over, and the hottest person on TV, Matt Bomer (no bias here) of White Collar fame, is guest starring on the new episode tonight. I've literally played the Bomer/Darren Criss cover of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" about a hundred times this week and it's so good that I can't wait to finally find out what purpose it actually has in the context of the storyline. We do have some intel –Bomer will play Cooper, Blaine's older brother, who is a celebrity in Lima after starring in a credit-rating commercial. The brothers don't get along, and it seems that sparks will fly after Cooper teaches an acting "master class" to the New Directions.
But how will this new plotline work in with the midseason cliffhanger we were left with back in February? While regionals have come and gone (with much fanfare), there still are many open questions as the New Directions near graduation: How has Karofsky's suicide attempt affected the gang? Where do Finn and Rachel's wedding plans stand? What does life after McKinley mean for each of them?
It's all back tonight, but below check out that Gotye cover again. And read our exclusive column with 80's teen star-turned-TV director Eric Stoltz, who directed tonight's episode of Glee. Then come back here after it airs to discuss the show and gleek out with fellow fans.

Hello beautiful fall pictures! Looks like you guys had a fun outing :)ReplyDelete
You can earn $20 for each 20 minute survey!ReplyDelete
Guess what? This is exactly what big companies are paying for. They need to know what their customer base needs and wants. So large companies pay millions of dollars per month to the average person. In return, the average person, myself included, answers some questions and gives them their opinion.

We're off on our honeymoon! Our flight leaves tomorrow at 10.50 am to Dublin. We'll spend the next two weeks at a cosy house with a view of the Atlantic at Ireland's South-Western coast.
Have two wonderful weeks everyone!
My life and my thoughts - on faith, culture, politics, whatever comes to my mind
We're off on our honeymoon! Our flight leaves tomorrow at 10.50 am to Dublin. We'll spend the next two weeks at a cosy house with a view of the Atlantic at Ireland's South-Western coast.
We are still alive and doing great :). Isn't this a nice opener after almost seven weeks without a post...? I can hardly believe I haven't posted once since June 1st. Even though so much has happened during the last weeks. First I alsways thought I'll keep it for after the church wedding - and now we've been married before God for more than a month already!
"[...} I know nothing more effective for quieting a Christian soul and getting contentment than this, setting your heart to work in the duties of the immediate circumstances that you are now in, and taking heed of your thoughts about other conditions as a mere temptation." (Jeremiah Burroughs)
I had a busy week at work while starting treatment for some health problems. So I was home quite late most evenings. I am looking forward every day to the moment when I enter our small cosy apartment, DH either busy cooking dinner or relaxing in the living-room (he enjoys cooking about as much as I do). I have a hard time adjusting to the fact that I don't have much time to be a keeper of the home during the week, even though this is what DH and I chose together.

this happening on the German Idol show. Even though the guy who had least votes last night was a Christian. But a participant singing a Christian worship song? I'd love it, but I don't think it will happen.
Btw "My Jesus, my savior" is one of my favorite worship songs. And there is a German version of it!
