The Cimetière Sud de Saint-Mandé is notable for several oddities. Firstly, although it takes the name of a Paris suburb and is still managed by that town, it is today situated within Paris. Second curiosity, the barrier that separates the cemetery from Saint Mandé is the thunderous périphérique motorway, making it undoubtedly the noisiest graveyard in Paris.
It is also possibly the city's least interesting cemetery, short of charm and celebrities (a sign at the entrance highlights a handful of ex-mayors and the wife of the founder of the Grevin waxworks museum). In one corner though, framed by a solid block of thriving horse chestnut trees, stands perhaps the cemetery's single striking monument – the half-naked statue of a strong and healthy looking young man.
The Morrison Hotel Mystery
The death of Jim Morrison is not the only mystery in the Rue Beautreillis. On this street where the leader of The Doors spent the last few months of his life and where he (probably) died, another door stands curiously alone. But what is it?
The last bastion standing
Today only one significant element of the city's 19th century fortifications remains standing. Where is the Bastion n°1 and what purpose does it serve today?
The World's Oldest Surviving Basketball Court
How did a game invented by the YMCA in America cross the Atlantic in the late 19th century, and why has this Paris court survived so long?

Portrait Studies
Portraiture is a big weakness of mine, I've been trying to practice every morning. I'll be uploading more of this hopefully daily. Right now, I want to focus on the structure of the skull especially around the eyes. Still needs a lot of work. The pictures I've been using is just stuff I find off the internet, both from screencaps and from Deviant Art!

I need a reboot, lately I've been doing a lot of concept/production work and very little illustrative work. Sorry :( I wanted to post work that reflected my current goals but I was worried to do it on this blog since it was mostly my illustrative work. I pretty much never update this blog because of it. Anyways, I want to be a little more free about what I post and talk more about my processes.
These are a set of color thumbnails for a storyboarding study I'm working on. I want to improve on my shitty composition skills so I took a movie and tried to dissect a sequence. I'll upload the final product later.
This one started out as a environment study of a shanty town. The technique I wanted to try out here was to thumbnail, use Google Sketch up to set up a rough model forperspective, then pencil and detail it in PS. I find that in a production environment, using Sketch up helps a lot to speed things up. It's free and very easy to use but very limited compared to other 3D apps. This limitation is actually a plus in my books because it stops you from leaning on 3D too much.

A Turkish family of rabbis. The most prominent members were:David b. Joseph ibn Labi:
Turkish scholar of the sixteenth century; lived together with his brother Moses at Salonica, where his father was rabbi (c. 1540); the two brothers died during an epidemic of the plague at Salonica. Both were prominent scholars, and their father included in his responsa collections (Constantinople, 1562) some of their work; especially noteworthy is David ibn Labi's treatise on the subject of the Talmudic term "Miggo."Joseph b. David Labi (commonly called Machir b. Leb):
Turkish scholar of the sixteenth century; born at Monastir; died about 1600. He was descended from a Spanish family of scholars, and about 1540 became rabbi of Salonica. He was one of the rabbis who enjoyed the favor of Don Joseph Nasi and of Nasi's mother-in-law, Donna Gracia. A very strong character, Labi did not comply with the duke's wish that he should be one of the signers of the sentence of excommunication against David Hamon.
Losing two adult sons during an epidemic of the plague at Salonica, Labi went as rabbi to Constantinople, where he remained for the rest of his life. He was the author of a valuable collection of responsa, which evidence not only his thorough knowledge of the Talmud, but also his general scholarship. It was published in four parts as follows: part i., Constantinople, 1562; part ii., ib. 1566; part iii., ib. 1573; part iv., Venice, 1606 (2d ed., Fürth, 1692). Labi wrote also novellæ to the Talmud treatises Ketubot, Giṭṭin, Baba Ḳamma, Shebu'ot, Ḳiddushin, Baba Meẓi'a, and 'Abodah Zarah; notes to Rashi, Tosafot, and Asheri; and a versified prayer ("Mustajab") beginning .

ROSS, HUGH, Presbyterian minister; b. c. 1797 in Rothiemurchus, parish of Kincardine, Scotland; m. 10 Oct. 1826 Flora McKay at the East River, Pictou County, N.S., and they had seven daughters and four sons; d. 1 Dec. 1858 in Tatamagouche, N.S.
Hugh Ross emigrated to Halifax with his family in 1813. After a brief business apprenticeship there, he followed his family to Pictou County where he was tutored by the Reverend James Drummond MacGregor*, taught a Sunday school class at New Glasgow, and became one of the first class of six ministers to graduate from Pictou Academy [see Thomas McCulloch*] and be licensed by the Pictou Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in Nova Scotia in 1824.
From beginning to end, Ross's ministry was a series of unhappy conflicts. During a tour of Cape Breton with the Reverend Thomas Trotter in July 1824, he received a tentative call at Canso. While he was in other parts of the island, however, Donald Allan Fraser* and John MacLennan, Kirk ministers, visited Canso and in Ross's words, "without shame or delicacy . . . belied the venerable Dr. McGregor, calumniated our church, reprouched our College, and stigmatized its Professors and Students." The call to Ross was withdrawn. By 1827 he was settled at Tatamagouche. A personal disappointment came in 1830 with his failure to be called to MacGregor's congregation after the latter's death, especially galling in that he had been selected to deliver the eulogy at MacGregor's funeral.
The sparsely settled New Annan–Tatamagouche charge was served by Ross with firmness and zeal. In 1840, however, his congregation split over the question of infant baptism. In essence, Ross's position was that parents who did not take communion could not expect their children to be accepted automatically for baptism when brought to the altar. He demanded adherence to "the Westminster Confession of Faith [and] the Catechism larger and shorter as a rule of faith and practice." The dissenting elders noted "a good many had never seen the Confession of Faith, and if they had, could not read it."
This storm might have passed had not Ross become embroiled in the controversy surrounding the 1841 election battle in Colchester County, won by Thomas Dickson who was supported by Alexander Campbell. The feelings were so virulent that a year after the election Ross was hung in effigy. Upheavals and divisions, especially in Presbyterian congregations in Nova Scotia, were quite common but the action that Ross and his supporters settled upon in November 1842 was unprecedented – they joined the Church of Scotland. That members of a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Nova Scotia would turn Kirk was virtually inconceivable.
Almost immediately after these events, Ross accepted a call to Georgetown–Murray Harbour, P.E.I. This move improved his financial position and removed him from the political-religious controversy raging in Tatamagouche. In 1844, one year after the disruption of the Kirk in Scotland, Ross joined and became the first moderator of the free church Synod of Nova Scotia Adhering to the Westminster Standards. Ross resigned his Murray Harbour charge in 1847. Six years later his religious odyssey came full circle when he returned to Tatamagouche and on 26 July 1853 was readmitted to the ministry of the Presbyterian Church in Nova Scotia. He proceeded to serve in various places throughout the province. In November 1855 he was located at Baddeck and from March to May of the following year he was an itinerant missionary to Cape Sable Island. For the first two weeks of June 1856 he ministered to the railway workers at Grand Lake.
Ross was a powerful, logical reasoner and a clear, forceful preacher of the Gospel in English or in Gaelic. A quiet, retiring individual noted for useful talents, good disposition, and a kindly heart, he made diligent efforts to discharge his ministerial responsibilities. When aroused, as during the aftermath of the 1841 election, his passionate prose knew neither restraint nor retreat. A former elder suggested that Ross had been driven from Tatamagouche because "he was too faithful in reproving sin, and too zealous in the cause of truth." Ross, however, was very much a victim, partly of his own naïvety, certainly of the religious and political factions of his fellow Presbyterians. In a letter he wrote to the Pictou Observer in 1842 it is clear that in the face of adversity and criticism he was unwavering – "I have never sold my conscience: I have never compromised my principles: I have never veered with the wind, either to inhale the incense of popular applause or to grasp of the mammon of the world."

A fireball in the sky was observed in a remote region of southern Morocco by nomads who tracked down fragments of the seven kilogram (15 pound) meteorite, marking only the fifth time in history that a Mars rock has been seen falling to Earth.
A team of eight experts with the Meteoritical Society analyzed the pieces and determined that they are authentic chunks of the red planet, said Carl Agee, part of the team and curator at the University of New Mexico.
"This discovery is tremendously important because of the quality of the sample," Agee told AFP.
The Moroccans who found the fragments quickly sold them to dealers, and museums scrambled to purchase them at a range of $500 to $1,000 dollars per gram, said Agee, whose museum now possesses a 108 gram piece.
The price for meteorites ranges from 10 to 20 times the price of gold.
"Some of these meteorites have atmospheric gas trapped inside glassy material. When they are heated and released in the laboratory and measured it's identical to the Mars atmosphere that all the Mars probes have measured," said Agee.
"All planets, like Venus, Mars and Earth, they have very different atmospheres," he added. "It's like a fingerprint."
The meteorite was named Tissint, and its discovery was documented in the Meteoritical Society's latest bulletin issued January 17.
"At about 2:00 am local time on July 18, 2011, a bright fireball was observed by several people in the region of the Oued Draa valley, east of Tata, Morocco," it said.
"One eyewitness, Mr Aznid Lhou, reported that it was at first yellow in color, and then turned green illuminating all the area before it appeared to split into two parts. Two sonic booms were heard over the valley."
By October, "nomads began to find very fresh, fusion-crusted stones in a remote area" about 50 kilometers (30 miles) east-southeast of Tata.
Agee said such Mars meteorite events only happen about once every 50 years, with the last such event in 1962 in Nigeria. Of about 100 Mars meteorites currently in Earth collections, only five have been seen to fall.
The first known meteorite from Mars was found in France in 1815, a specimen called Chassigny that Agee described as "probably one of the most expensive meteorites in the world."
Pieces of Mars are believed to have broken loose at some time in history when a massive meteor crashed into the surface of the red planet, sending chunks hurtling through space.
Some of the debris has moved fast enough to escape the gravitational pull of Mars and eventually fall to Earth.
Agee said scientists will examine the Moroccan meteorite for radioactive signatures left by cosmic rays, signaling how long its journey has been, possibly thousands or millions of years.

Nothing says spring like a pair of Aerosole loafers with a skirt. Or as Newmark Knight Frank's Jason Pruger put it: "Women used to sneakers can wear the suit and the Aerosoles."
To wit, the shoe brand is renewing its first New York City location in the iconic Chrysler Building for another 10 years. Aerosole moved into the roughly 1,300-square-foot space in the foot of the tower roughly a decade ago and its lease expired at the end of this year. But the tenant saw an opportunity to lock in a deal early.
"With its close proximity to Grand Central and dense office population of many female workers," Mr. Pruger said, apparently reading from a brochure, it's the perfect location for selling "chic shoes." He added: "They love the spot. They love being a part of an iconic building."
Greg Cohen represented the landlord, Tishman Speyer, in-house.

Rescinded 1989
SSR 80-32: Section 1612 (42 U.S.C. 1382a) Supplemental Security Income—Unearned Income—Clothing Allowances Paid by the Veterans Administration
20 CFR 416.1102 and 416.1130
When the Social Security Administration (SSA) informed the claimant that some of the supplemental security income (SSI) benefits paid to him in the second quarter of 1979 constituted an overpayment because of his receipt in May, 1979 of a clothing allowance from the Veterans Administration (VA), the claimant filed an appeal questioning whether the allowance should be counted as income. Held, under 20 CFR 416.1130(d), the VA clothing allowance constitutes unearned income; therefore, it must be considered in determining the amount of the claimant's SSI benefits.
It has been determined that the claimant meets all factors of eligibility for SSI benefits. However, the claimant disputes the amount of benefits payable, which is dependent upon the amount of countable income deducted from his SSI benefits. Accordingly, the issue is the correctness of the deduction made and its effect upon the amount of SSI benefits payable.
The claimant has been entitled to SSI benefits since August, 1976 based on an application filed in that month. On August 21, 1979, the claimant received a notice of overpayment from SSA, informing him that some of the SSI benefits paid to him in the second quarter of 1979 constituted an overpayment because of his receipt in May, 1979 of a clothing allowance from the VA. On August 23, 1979, the claimant filed for a reconsideration, stating his belief that the clothing allowance should not be counted as income. A notice of reconsideration was sent to the claimant on October 12, 1979 affirming the initial determination, and he filed for a hearing on October 15, 1979.
At the hearing, the claimant explained that eligibility for the clothing allowance depends on the need for more than two "appliances," such as a wheelchair or walker. This allowance is paid yearly, the claimant reported, and he first received such a disbursement by a check dated May 24, 1979.
Section 1611(b)(1) of the Social Security Act (the Act) provides that the benefit for an individual who does not have an eligible spouse shall be payable at the rate of $2,272.80 per calendar year reduced by the amount of income, not excluded pursuant to section 1612(b), of such individual.
Section 1612(b)(2)(A) of the Act provides that in determining the income of an individual (and his eligible spouse) there shall be excluded the first $240 per year (or proportionately smaller amounts for shorter periods) of income (whether earned or unearned) other than income which is paid on the basis of the need of the eligible individual.
20 CFR 416.1101(a), in part, provides: "Under Title XVI of the Act, an individual's income includes all of his own income in cash or in kind, both earned income and unearned income. It also includes all of the income of his or her eligible spouse (as defined in §416.120(c)(14))."
20 CFR 416.1102, in part, provides:
"(a) Meaning of income. The term "income" for purposes of title XVI means the receipt by an individual of any property or service which he can apply, either directly or by sale or conversation, to meeting is basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter."
20 CFR 416.1130, in part, provides:
"The following types of periodic payments are among those included in unearned income; however, this list is not all-inclusive:
* * * * *
(d) Veterans compensation and pension. Veterans payments are based on service in the armed forces; but this service is not limited to the U.S. armed forces. Such payments may be made by the U.S. Veterans Administration, another country, a State or local governmental entity, or any other organization or entity."
20 CFR 416.1115, in part, provides:
"Countable income defined. (a) The amount of a beneficiary's countable income for a calendar quarter (or shorter period, when applicable) is used to determine whether he is or not eligible for benefits under title XVI of the Act and, if he is eligible, the amount payable. Countable income is the amount of an individual's income which affects payments under title XVI. It is the sum of:
(1) His total earned income (as set forth in §416.1102(b) less his earned income exclusions (as set forth in §§416.1145-416.1175); and (2) His total unearned income (as set forth in §416.1102(c)) less his unearned income exclusions (as set forth in §§416.1145-4416.1175.)"
After a thorough consideration of all the evidence of record, SSA has concluded that the clothing allowance received by the claimant from the VA does count as unearned income. These funds clearly come within the definition of income in 20 CFR 416.1102(a) which specifically refers to cash or other property which can be used to meet the basic need for (among other things) clothing. Further, 20 CFR 416.1130(d) provides that payments from the VA are included within the meaning of unearned income. Accordingly, the VA clothing allowance must be considered as unearned income for purpose of determining the amount of the claimant's SSI benefits.

I've always loved a good spook story. Blame it on my mom taking me to see The Nightmare Before Christmas one too many times as a child or blame it on the fact that death touched my life one too many times for comfort and, to cope, I've taken an intense interest in the macabre. So intense, in fact, that before my foray into music journalism, I was dead set (pun intended) on becoming a mortician. So, naturally, any album that deals with murder, loss, and eloquent tombstone testimonials is right up my alley but never had I heard a pop album on the subject until Jeremy Messersmith's The Reluctant Graveyard.
As the story goes, Messersmith and his wife moved into a Minneapolis house that neighbored a cemetery, spurring an idea in Messersmith's hook-laden brain to write a concept album of sorts in which the narrarator of every track experiences death. Naturally, that would have you think that the songwriter had abandoned the infectious melodies of his first two albums for a more somber route. That assumption, however, is blown out of the water immediately.
The Reluctant Graveyard opens with a guitar hook that makes Messersmith's love of '60's pioneers The Zombies and Beach Boys apparent and as "Lazy Bones" progresses, the album's dark concepts dissipate in a pop chorus sunnier than an August day. The trend continues through "Dillinger Eyes", a song that culminates with Messersmith being shot, his good intentions bleeding out around him, all because he "was born with John Dillinger's eyes". The album even verges on Neil Diamond territory with "Violet!" which, to me, is slightly reminiscent of Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" but hey, maybe that's just me.
Of course, my darker tendencies force me to gravitating to the album's darkest tracks. Messersmith's concept becomes clear on "Organ Donor," a seductively eerie standout of a track that has Messersmith confessing that, after all he's been through, "I don't know if I'll ever be whole again" against an understated background of strings and gentle guitar. Messersmith is never one, however, to overwhelm and it seems that every overtly grim track is sandwiched in between a folky tune that deceives you into thinking Messersmith's verging on optimism until you take a closer listen. When Messersmith sings about "thinking of the friends (he's) left behind", it eventually becomes obvious that he's not leaving on vacation but instead departing to the great beyond that Messersmith influence Elliott Smith was so fond of musing about.
While the concept is clear on The Reluctant Graveyard, it never overpowers the album's pure catchiness. One of the album's darkest tracks, "John The Determinist", is wrought with dark desperation, a man insisting "Oh, you silly things, I've got you figured out" although it's more than apparent that the narrator's constant need to understand his own life and the lives of others will never leave him with any answers.
Even on an album fraught with standouts, nothing can compare to "A Girl, A Boy And A Graveyard". You see, readers, every year for the past five, I've made a "Mental Health Mix". This mix consists of me choosing one song per month that perfectly encapsulates my life. It doesn't necessarily have to be a new song, it just has to be a song that describes what I was going through during that month. This year, however, twelve songs aren't necessary. I mean, I'm still totally going to make "Mental Health Mix 2010″ come December but I could sum up my life simply using "A Girl, A Boy And A Graveyard". It would take quite literally a dissertation to discuss why every single line of that song affects my life so deeply but as Messersmith sings about his Lucy, whose "body's cold" and "guts are twisted steel", I can't help but feel he, without knowing me, perfectly encapsulated every aspect of my personality, from Lucy's cryptic optimism ("Life's a game we're meant to lose (but) stick by me and I will stick by you.") to her complete fear of vulnerability. Before "A Girl, A Boy And A Graveyard", I was quite fond of this Messersmith character. Afterward, however, I was completely and utterly in love. Any other musician, I feel, would romanticize his heroine in such a way where she was helpless, feeding upon most every guy's superhero complex where he gets to swoop in like Superman himself and rescue his lovely Lois Lane. Messersmith, however, compares Lucy to "some kind of Frankenstein, waiting for a shock to bring (her) back to life. But (she doesn't) want to spend (her) time waiting for lightning to strike."
It goes back to my love of the macabre, of the ghosts of my past that have left me afraid of becoming attached to any one person, afraid of my own "lightning to strike", for all the reasons Messersmith explores on The Reluctant Graveyard: Despair, tragedy, and the type of catastrophic loss that Messersmith sings about in "Repo Man", another track that finds a man reflecting on the defeat that has marred his life. Even so, Messermith manages to end his album on two incredibly positive notes. "Deathbed Salesman" finds Messersmith playing the role of just that, a very literal deathbed salesman, and despite the fact that Messersmith is offering his audience their final resting places, he never stops reminding you, while dying is inevitable, "all your friends are there and waiting" and "once you'll gone, you'll never want to live again." The swirling, Beatles-esque chorus, wherein Messermith repeats "This is how it has to end, so love somebody while you can", recalls Smith once again, this time evoking one of my all time favorite songs, Figure 8's "Happiness", a song who's lyrics I just so happen to have tattooed on my arm.
Messersmith, who released two stellar folk pop albums before The Reluctant Graveyard, finds the perfect balance of tragedy and beauty, of modern and vintage, on his third LP and despite his obvious infatuation with the literal end, Messersmith has managed to produce a remarkably optimistic album. Lyrically, this is the same guy that sang "Even the good times could be so much better…. Even the great times wouldn't let me down" only now, he knows how to perfectly juxtapose the depression with the good times.

How Aaron Brown Became CNN's Voice Of Sept. 11
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Aaron Brown came into work at CNN still preparing for his new role as the anchor of the network's flagship evening broadcast. He wasn't supposed to go on air for several more weeks, but on that morning and in the days that followed, Brown became the guide for millions of viewers glued to their television sets.
As he scurried to the roof of CNN's headquarters in New York shortly after the towers were hit, Brown remembers stopping in the middle of 8th Avenue and telling himself to stay calm.
"In some ways, you were like too into it, too focused to be anything other than a reporter with the biggest story anyone had ever had," Brown tells Guy Raz, host of weekends on All Things Considered.
Brown, now a journalism professor at Arizona State University, reported live that day for 17 hours. Over the course of the day, he says he remembers feeling shocked, even stupid, but never scared.
"I know I was exhilarated, which I know will sound strange," he says, "but it's what I had prepared my life to do."
Balancing Reporting, Emotion
But like the rest of the country, he was also processing the horror in front of him. There were moments in which Brown took off his reporter's hat to simply react.
When the north tower fell at 10:28 a.m., Brown became quiet.
"Good Lord. There are no words," he said, looking at the smoke billowing just 30 blocks away.
Brown didn't talk publicly about his coverage of the terrorist attacks for many years. He doesn't see his reporting as heroic compared to what the firefighters and other first responders did that day.
"Sometimes I'm a little embarrassed, I suppose, at this notion that anything I did mattered," he says. "I think I just told a story."
Brown confesses he doesn't think his coverage was even that good, but he did win the Edward R. Murrow award for his Sept. 11 coverage atop the CNN roof.
A Haunting Image
Looking back, it's not the straight-on view of the World Trade Center that's seared into Brown's memory — it's an aerial shot of the destruction from a helicopter coming over the New York harbor. He says he thinks of that image all the time.
"It captures what television ought to capture — which is the totality of a story — and that one did it all," he says. "The strength of the country, the beauty of the day, and the horror of the moment."

JUPITER, Fla. -- Matt Carpenter called agreeing to a new $52 million, six-year deal with St. Louis a no-brainer. The Cardinals are hoping their third baseman sticks even longer than that.
"He's the type of player you'd like to think could finish his career as a Cardinal," St. Louis chairman and CEO Bill DeWitt said Saturday.
St. Louis began contract talks with Carpenter in August. Both sides characterized the negotiations as smooth.
"It was not one of those where we were sitting there debating all of Matt's faults or his weaknesses, because there weren't any," St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak said. "He's really a special person not only on the field but off the field."
The deal includes a team option for a seventh year in 2020 at $18.5 million. Should St. Louis decline the option, it would pay Carpenter a $2 million buyout.
"For a baseball junkie like myself, I can't think of a better place to play than the city of St. Louis," Carpenter said. "Busch Stadium, I still pinch myself every time I make that drive to the field. Playing in front of these fans, the city of St. Louis, Cardinal baseball as a whole, it's just so much fun. It's such a privilege to put on this jersey. It's something I don't take lightly at all."
Carpenter's agent, Bryan Cahill, said the 28-year-old received a $1 million signing bonus and he'll make $1.5 million this season. The salary escalates each year, reaching $14.5 million in 2019.
Carpenter hit .318 while leading the National League in hits (199), doubles (55) and runs (126) last season and playing mostly second base. He is moving back to third this season, where he has played most of his professional career.
He earned his first All-Star selection in 2013 and finished fourth in MVP voting. A 13th-round draft choice out of TCU in 2009, Carpenter's first full season in the majors was 2012.
Carpenter switched to second base during last spring training and started 128 games as a middle infielder in 2013. He also played 24 games at third.
Known in the clubhouse for his work ethic and daily preparation, it hasn't taken Carpenter long to take on a leadership role. He's made an impact not only on the younger Cardinals, but also on the veterans.
"They can't help but watch," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "OK, how did this guy get on the board all of the sudden? How's he in the MVP running? Where did this come from? They can't help but translate the work that's put in and the discipline."
He fought back emotion at Saturday's news conference.
"I realize what a responsibility this is for me," Carpenter said. "I'm really looking forward to living up to this and continuing being part of such a great organization."

Though not nearly as well-known as the "London Trios," these six delightful divertimentos are Haydn's first pieces of chamber music to expressly call for the flute. Straightforward and full of Haydn's esprit, they are a treasure trove for all lovers of music-making in the home. The stylistic variety of these cheerful pièces d'occasion surely reflects the fact that they are partly based on earlier models: Haydn's baryton trios as well as arias and other items from his opera "Il mondo della luna" ("The World on the Moon").
- Six Divertimenti for Violin (Flute), Violin and Violoncello Hob. IV:6*-11*
- Divertimento in D major Hob. IV:6*
- Divertimento in G major Hob. IV:7*
- Divertimento in C major Hob. IV:8*
- Divertimento in G major Hob. IV:9*
- Divertimento in A major Hob. IV:10*
Haydn's six Divertimentos, Hob. IV:6*– 11*, belong to a group of works that he sold to the London publisher William Forster during the first half of the 1780s. They are listed in a statement of ownership from the year 1786 that assigns them to Forster along with seven symphonies (Hob. I:70, 74, 76–78, 80, 81), one overture (Hob. Ia:14), and six piano trios (Hob. XV:2–5, … 계속

Joseph Haydn
His immense oeuvre documents the profound changes in music history during the second half of the eighteenth century, leading to the emancipation of instrumental music. His most important genres are the symphony and the string quartet, where he cultivated the technique of motivic-thematic development; he made significant contributions to the instrumental concerto and to piano music; during the last years of his life, he composed his great oratorios. Opera and art song take on a rather subordinate significance.

Annmarie's Gluten Free Birthday Cannoli
We looked and looked online but couldn't find a recipe for GF cannoli. We found several people asking if anyone had a GF cannoli recipe, one person saying she found one in Italian, and a few others suggesting to use GF pizzelle instead of a cannoli shell to make "cannoli" (to which Annmarie scoffed). You know, when you are trying to re-create a family tradition you have to do it right, so she sent for her father's glutinous recipe and we prepared to experiment with flours until we found something that worked.
Her father, it turns out, is the cannoli maker in the family. When I was quizzing her on how these shells are made (I'd only had two cannoli in my lifetime, so I was kind of operating in the dark) Annmarie told me, "well, my dad would disappear into the basement and when he came upstairs he had cannoli!"
Sigh. I guess we were both operating in the dark, but at least she knew what they were supposed to look, taste and feel like.
January 30, 2009
Name of Cannoli: Annmarie's Great-grandmother Martino's Cannoli, GF Style
Occasion: Annmarie's Birthday!
Constituents: GF Cannoli shells filled with cannoli filling (sweetened ricotta with optional add ins)
For those of you not in the know, cannoli is an Italian dessert (by way of Sicily) made by deep frying a square of pastry that's been wrapped around a metal tube to make a crispy shell. The middle is stuffed with sweetened ricotta cheese mixed with a variety of foods like chopped chocolate, chopped pineapple, citron, candied cherries, and nuts. The ends of the cannoli are usually covered in either chocolate, chopped pistacios, or other chopped and possibly dyed nuts. If you like your desserts on the creamy side, you will like these.
(By the way, cannoli is the plural of canolo; thanks Wikipedia!)
Cannoli dough, at least Great-grandma Martino's, is basically a modifed pastry dough. You kind of cut a few tablespoons of shortening into some flour, cinnamon and salt, and add enough wine and water to have it all come together. You then knead the dough until it becomes a big sticky elastic mass and refrigerate for a bit to relax the gluten. Then you roll out the dough, cut out some squares, and roll them 'round a cannoli tube. This gets deep fried until it is golden and blistered, then you let the shells cool down enough to pull them off the tubes so you can use them for the next round of frying.
For gluten-free cannoli shells, we made a few moderations to this method: First off, without gluten we weren't going to get an elastic dough so we didn't worry about over kneading or over mixing or over rolling. Next, we found it was much easier to tear off bits of the dough, roll them into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter, and roll each of those out with a rolling pin between two sheets of plastic wrap.
The plastic wrap method is really important, as the dough is a bit sticky and prone to tearing. Annmarie found that the thinner she rolled out the dough, the more authentic they would look and taste. I think she settled on a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
She then cut the dough into a rough square, and used the plastic wrap to roll the dough onto the tube. If she didn't use the plastic wrap to support the dough, it had a tendency to fall apart and be all sorts of difficult.
The two corners of the dough that overlap are sealed with a little bit of beaten egg yolk, and then dunked in the hot oil.
My mom gave me a little deep fryer this year for Christmas (emphasis on little), so we fried two cannoli at a time. We also only bought four cannoli tubes (they were $2.50 each!) so this gave us a nice little rhythm of frying two while rolling out two.
The key to good cannoli filling is to find the best ricotta that is thick, not runny. Even so, the ricotta must be left to drain in a cheesecloth-lined strainer for an hour or so at room temperature. Once the cannoli shells are filled they will begin to loose their crunch, so it is important to stave off that process as much as you can by making sure the filling is a dry as possible. To the ricotta, we added cinnamon, chopped chocolate, powdered sugar (important as the cornstarch will sop up any liquid), and chopped, drained pineapple. Her dad did not specify any amounts of these things, so we sweetened and cinnamoned to taste, used one chocolate bar, and one small can of pineapple.
Annmarie was excited as she observed the tell-tale blisters on our cannoli shells, and even more excited when she tasted one. It was crisp and (to me) tasted a lot like a sugar cone. We never had a problem with the dough falling apart as it was frying, and once we discovered the plastic wrap trick, the dough always rolled onto the tubes without fuss. When we filled a few cannoli she tasted one, and became even more excited. She declared them to be perfect! Awesome!
We flirted with the idea of quitting our day jobs and making GF cannoli for a living, but decided against it. But we are mighty proud of our achievement, and hope that all of the gluten-freers out there give these cannoli a try.
Annmarie's Great-grandmother Martino's Cannoli, GF Style
makes about 24-35 shells, depending on size
2 cups fine-ground brown rice flour (we used Bob's Red Mill, which is still a bit gritty but you couldn't tell in the final product) 2/3 cup potato starch flour 1/3 cup tapioca flour 1/2 tsp xanthum gum 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 cup sugar 3 tbsp shortening 1/2 cup port wine 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp water 1 egg yolk, beaten metal cannoli tubes 1-2 liters oil suitable for deep frying (we used canola oil and needed 1 liter for my little fryer) something to deep fry in--a deep pot or a deep fryer. You'll want it to be deep enough to have 5 inches of oil.
Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.
Add shortening, and add the liquid in 1/4 cup increments, mixing with a fork until dough starts to come together--it will look a lot like wet sand. We alternated liquids--for example 1/4 cup wine, then 1/4 water, then wine, etc. You may not have to add all the liquid.
Dump the wet sand-like dough onto a clean counter and knead for 15 minutes or until it comes together as a nice smooth ball of dough. It shouldn't be too sticky, but a little springy and a bit like fresh Play-Doh. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and let rest in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
You will want your oil at 350°F by the time you have a few shells shaped, so plan accordingly.
Shape approx 1.5 inch balls of dough; keep maybe six out at a time and leave the rest wrapped up in the refrigerator until needed. You don't want the dough to dry out. We even kept the few on the counter between plastic wrap too.
Between two small sheets of plastic wrap, roll out a ball of dough until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut off the sides to form roughly a 2 inch square, give or take 1/2 inch. Turn the square so that it looks like a diamond, with the point closest to you the bottom corner.
(The scraps can be re-used; we kept a pile of them to the side and re-rolled them into balls. This way you don't have any waste.)
Your goal is to wrap the dough around the tube so that the top and bottom corners meet at the top of the tube. Here's how to do it: peel off the top layer of plastic wrap and lay the cannoli tube across the bottom corner. Using the bottom layer of plastic wrap, roll the dough up and around the tube until the corner is at the top of the tube and the tube is laying from side corner to side corner. Peel back the bottom layer of plastic wrap; the dough should still be up on the tube. using the plastic wrap under the top corner, lift it up onto the tube and press the two corners of dough together. Dab a little beaten egg yolk on the seam to hold it together.
Fry dough on the tubes until crisp, golden brown, and blistered. Drain on paper towel until cool; remove tubes and re-use. Do NOT rinse tubes in water until you are completely finished frying shells.
Fill with cannoli filling and serve immediately, or wrap double airtight and let sit at room temperature for no more than 24 hours before using.
Annmarie's Great-grandmother Martino's Cannoli Filling
3 lbs stiff ricotta cheese (imported Italian ricotta seems to be best)
You have lots of options for what you add to the ricotta; here's what we did:
about 1 tsp vanilla extract one chocolate bar, chopped into little squares one can pineapple, drained and chopped powdered sugar, approx 3/4 to 1 cup about 1 tsp cinnamon
Drain the ricotta in a cheesecloth-lined strainer. It will go faster if the cheese is at room temperature. We let it drain for about 30-45 minutes per lb.
Once drained, place ricotta into medium bowl and stir in your add ons, to taste. We went for lightly sweet, but not forcefully so. Certainly less sweet than sweetened whipped cream.
Let cool in refrigerator for one hour; we let it cool overnight.
Fill a pastry bag with a number 6 round tip with the cheese mixture and fill shells. Alternatively, you can spoon it in but it takes a little longer. Dip the ends in chopped raw pistachio nuts, chopped chocolate, or what-have-you. You can sprinkle with powdered sugar right before serving if you like.
Tips for an enjoyable and tasty experience:
- It helps to have two people when making the shells. Annmarie rolled the dough and shaped the shells while I fried the dough and wrestled the finished shells off the tubes.
- This was no easy task, mostly because I wouldn't wait until the shells and tube were completely cool. The tubes were slippery from all the oil and I was worried about breaking the shells as I gripped and pushed and pulled. I finally discovered that twisting the shell while pulling the tube made the most progress--think of spiraling the shell off the tube.
- Be sure not to wrap the dough too tightly around the metal tube as it will make it even harder to get the shells off.
- If you are using a deep fryer, use the fry basket. When the shells are done, you can stand the shells on their end in the basket to let the excess oil drain back into the fryer before you put them on paper towel.
- What keeps food crisp while being deep fried is all the water in the food rushing out and pushing the oil back. That's what all the bubbles are. When the bubbles slow down, keep an eye on the shells as they are close to getting done. There is a fine line between a crisp and an oily shell, and it happens right when those bubbles slow down enough to let the oil soak in.
- The port wine is integral to the unique taste of these cannoli shells, but we found the taste the best when it was cut with a little water.
- The thinner you can roll the dough the faster it will fry, and the crisper it will be.
- The filling is really where you can get creative, but if you plan to use a pastry bag to fill the shells, make sure everything you add is chopped small enough to fit through the tip!

Big up for Boneshaker Magazine
Boneshaker is beautifully designed with some really intesring artwork- I adore this picture from last months edition. It has some really great articles about cycling and cycling culture. It seems more about the human stories associated with cycling than technical bike info which makes for a really entertaining read.

ATLANTA–A new study shows that deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a safe and effective intervention for treatment-resistant depression in patients with either unipolar major depressive disorder (MDD) or bipolar ll disorder (BP). The study was published Online First by Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
The study was led by Helen S. Mayberg, MD, professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Neurology at Emory University School of Medicine, with co-investigators Paul E. Holtzheimer, MD, lead psychiatrist and now associate professor and director of the Mood Disorders Service, Dartmouth Medical School, and neurosurgeon Robert E. Gross, MD, PhD, associate professor in the Departments of Neurosurgery and Neurology at Emory. Gross served as chief neurosurgeon for the study.
"Depression is a serious and debilitating medical illness," says Mayberg. "When we found that the potential for effective and sustained antidepressant response with DBS for patients with otherwise treatment resistant major depressive disorder was high, the next step was to determine if patients with intractable bipolar depression could also be successfully treated."
An earlier study by Mayberg done in Toronto in collaboration with scientists at Toronto Western Hospital, University Health Network and Emory, was the first to show such results for patients with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder. Mayberg conducted this new expanded trial at Emory to include patients with bipolar ll disorder.
Bipolar spectrum disorder, sometimes referred to as manic-depression, is characterized by bouts of mania or hypomania alternating between episodes of depression. Although people with bipolar ll disorder do not have full manic episodes, depressive episodes are frequent and intense, and there is a high risk of suicide. A major challenge in treating bipolar depression is that many antidepressant medications may cause patients to "switch" into a hypomanic or manic episode.
DBS uses high-frequency electrical stimulation targeted to a predefined area of the brain specific to the particular neuropsychiatric disorder. Here, each study participant was implanted with two thin wire electrodes, one on each side of the brain. The other end of each wire was connected under the skin of the patient's neck to a pulse generator implanted in the chest – similar to a pacemaker – that directs the electrical current.
Study participants received single-blind stimulation for four weeks (patients did not know if the DBS system was on or off), followed by active stimulation for 24 weeks. Patients were evaluated for up to two years following onset of active stimulation. Seventeen patients were enrolled in the study.
A significant decrease in depression and increase in function were associated with continuing stimulation. Remission and response rates were 18 percent and 41 percent after 24 weeks; 36 percent and 36 percent after one year and 58 percent and 92 percent after two years of active stimulation. Patients who achieved remission did not experience a spontaneous relapse. Efficacy was similar for Major Depressive Disorder and Bi-Polar patients, and no participant experienced a manic or hypomanic episode.
Mayberg and her colleagues continue to refine this intervention. Current studies include demographic, clinical and imaging predictors of response and remission, and introduction of psychotherapeutic rehabilitation. Why and how this treatment works is the primary focus of ongoing research.
"Most of these patients have been in a depressed state for many years and are disabled and isolated," says Holtzheimer. "As their depression improves, they need a process to help them achieve full recovery that includes integration back into society.
"We hope to optimize the rate of improvement for these patients by using a model of care that provides psychotherapeutic rehabilitation built on evidence-based psychotherapy but tailored to the specific individual's situation."
The study was funded by grants from the Dana Foundation, Stanley Medical Research Institute, Woodruff Foundation, and Emory Healthcare. The study was performed under a physician sponsored IDE to Dr Mayberg (G060028 and registered at Clinicaltrials.gov ID#: NCT00367003). Investigational DBS devices were donated by St. Jude Medical Neuromodulation Inc., which was otherwise uninvolved in the study.
Holtzheimer has received grant funding from the Greenwall Foundation, NARSAD, National Institutes of Health Loan Repayment Program and National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH); he has received consulting fees from St. Jude Medical Neuromodulation.
Gross has received consulting fees from St. Jude Medical Neuromodulation, Boston Scientific and Bayer Healthcare and he has equity in Neurovista.
Mayberg has a consulting agreement with St. Jude Medical Neuromodulation, which has licensed her intellectual property to develop SCC DBS for the treatment of severed depression.
The terms of these arrangements have been reviewed and approved by Emory University in accordance with their conflict-of-interest policies.
The Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center of Emory University is an academic health science and service center focusing on teaching, research, health care and public service.

Electromagnetic Field Measurements
In collaboration with Professor Frank Morrison of the Department of Civil and Environment Engineering, the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory has established electromagnetic field observatories at 2 BDSN sites.
Sites were initially established at SAO and PKD1. When the BDSN site at PKD1 was relocated to PKD, additional electromagnetic sensors were installed there. The PKD1 equipment was recorded in parallel with PKD for several months and then removed in early 1999.
In addition, the BSL collaborates with Professor Steve Park of UC Riverside to collect and archive data from a low-frequency, long-baseline electric field project at site PKD2. This experiment (which is separate from the observatory at site PKD1), uses an 8 channel Quanterra datalogger to record the data.

Everyone has a different way of coping with what George Bernard Shaw called "that troublesome business." The promise of death should motivate us to live everyday to the fullest because as Jim Morrison aptly noted, "No one here gets out alive." So on that cheerful note, here are some of the last words of famous writers and images of their final resting places. At eNotes, we only haunt you with the very best!
1. Ernest Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961)
"Goodnight, my kitten." ~ To his wife, before he shot and killed himself.
2. L. Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 – May 6, 1919)
"Now I can cross the shifting sands." ~ Referring to the desert that surrounded his fictional city, Oz. Baum suffered a stroke from which he never recovered.
3. Dylan Thomas (27 October 1914 – 9 November 1953)
"I had eighteen straight whiskies…I think that's a record." While alcohol probably hastened the poet's demise, new theories attribute undiagnosed pneumonia as the more likely cause of death.
4. James Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941)
"Does nobody understand?" No direct cause has ever been attributed to Joyce's death but his heavy drinking almost certainly played a prominent role.
5. Louisa May Alcott (November 29, 1832 – March 6, 1888)
"Is it not meningitis?" ~ It was not, actually. Alcott died as a result of mercury poisoning.
6. Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817)
"I want nothing but death." ~ To her sister, Cassandra, inquiring if she wanted anything. (It has never been determined from what, exactly, the 41-year-old author succumbed to (speculations have included stomach cancer, Addison's disease and bovine tuberculous) but the latest research suggests arsenic poisoning may have been the culprit.
7. Mark Twain (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910)
"Goodbye. If we meet…" ~ To his daughter, Clara. Twain died of a myocardial infraction (heart attack).
8. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ( 28 August 1749 – 22 March 1832)
"More light!" ~ The cause of Goethe's death is unknown.
9. Henrik Ibsen (20 March 1828 – 23 May 1906)
"On the contrary!" ~ Ibsen's response to his nurse, who remarked that he seemed better. Ibsen died as a result of complications from a stroke.
10. Hunter S. Thompson (July 18, 1937 – February 20, 2005)
"Relax — This won't hurt." ~ Thompson's final line in his suicide note. The author shot himself. An iconoclast to the end, his widow said Thomas wanted to go out with a bang, and he did. On a platform he personally designed, Thompson had his ashes shot from a cannon to the music of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" and Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man." You can watch a video of Thompson's final farewell here.
