Welcome to ECHO's Frequently Asked Questions Page. If your question is not here, please feel free to email Danielle Flood, ECHO's Public Relations & Communications Manager at firstname.lastname@example.com or post a comment at the bottom of this page. We will answer your question as quickly as possible and add it to this page. Thanks for visiting!
How did ECHO begin?ECHO once stood for "Educational Concerns for Haiti Organization," founded in the late 1970's by businessman Richard Dugger, as an outreach to the Haitian people. ECHO took its current form in 1981, when it became Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization under the direction of Former Executive Director Dr. Martin Price. It was Dr. Price's vision that ECHO could multiply the organization's efforts several times by locating in the U.S. and offering agricultural services to people all over the world.
What denomination is ECHO?We are an interdenominational, Christian organization. We gladly offer our services to anyone actively involved in the fight against world hunger. How is ECHO funded?ECHO does not receive any government funding. ECHO is funded by individual donations and gifts from churches, clubs and civic groups, generous businesses, and private foundation grants.
Does ECHO send people overseas?ECHO does not send people overseas to do development projects. Rather, ECHO helps other organizations, missionaries, and development workers already overseas become more effective. We do this by providing agricultural ideas, information, seeds, and training opportunities. However, ECHO interns are specifically trained for overseas work and are serving throughout the developing world. Why doesn't ECHO work with farmers in the United States?ECHO was designed to meet a need no one else was filling. People in the U.S. who want to grow their own food have access to local agriculture extension agents, master gardeners, and land grant universities. Those who suffer from hunger in this country have access to food banks, food stamps, soup kitchens, and charities that help meet their needs. These services are seldom available in developing countries, so ECHO has become an "extension agent to the world." 13 comments Do you currently do any work or are you interested in looking into work in aquaculture as a source of protein, e.g., red claw shrimp, pacu, giant gourami, on a small scale (e.g., 40' containers)? Thanks.
Bob Cunningham I am hoping to come down there and visit tomorrow. I tried to do a donation over the internet but it would not accept my address. I suggest you have someone test out the system. I have not had this problem before. Hi Albert, I hope your visit was a great one! I'm sorry you had problems with the internet donation site. If you'd like to contact Debby Mora, our Development Assistant, she can help you troubleshoot. Email her at email@example.com Hi Dr. Bob, We currently have tilapia in a pond system, and are not currently looking into diversifying our aquacultures. That said, we are always looking for new ideas. If you'd like to send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with your ideas or experience we'd really appreciate it!
Danielle Can't find directions to your place on your web site! Dear Sir,
I am interested in being a member of your organization.Currently I am in Malaysia doing small time cattle and sheep feedlot system.I would appreciate if you could guide me along the way and in return i can impart it to my fellow villagers who are hardcore poor in my country.
Hoping to get positive response from your esteem organization.
Thank you. I am leaving for 2 months in Cameroon. I am going to 6 rural villages to help install a drip irrigation garden and build a solar fruit dryer. I got some wonderful plans of your site. Could anyone give more specifics on using this in central Africa or interpret the plans given? Thank you Hi Ahmad and Christine!
Please send your questions to email@example.com so that we can respond to your individual questions :) I visited ECHO several years ago and learned of a tree with edible leaves. I seem to recall that it had the nutrition of milk. The leaves had to be boiled to make them edible. Does this give you enough info to remind me of the tree's name? Are they available? [ Hello, I would like to know if you have loquat trees in stock, what variety you have available, sizes and price. Also, I would like to know if you have a lllama tree. Thank You [Editor's Note: Helga, Yes, we do stock Loquat trees! For more detailed information, I suggest you call the Tropical Fruit Nursery at 239.567.1900. They carry the most up to date pricing information and can help you choose the right variety for your landscape! Happy Planting!] hello. My name is Sandy Gonsalves, I am a high school student of Sir Wilfrid Laurier located in Canada Ontario. I am doing on your organization trying to convince my classmates why we should donate to you. You've said you don't work with farmers in the US but I was wondering..do you provide any opportunites or interns for run down farmers who have been exploited and/or have ran out of buissiness? Do you encourage them or offer them to work with you for your cause? Is there anything that you can offer farmers of your country to give them a second chance? Hello! I have started a small mission assistance (logistical)program here in Fla. It`s H.U.G.E. Humanity Utilizing Gods Energy. I have already got a Package being sent to Kenya, and would like to get with your people to see if I could be of any help. I have been able to make wind turbine generators with vanes made from old pipe, and have access to books showing many ways of making micro-hydro energy.The good folks over at J.A.A.R.S. suggested I contact you, and I had not heard of your group until today. I hope that we can meet sometime soon. Please E-mail. Thank you. Sincerely, S.Goodwin. Dear Sir/Madam, I have planned to grow the Moringa tree to help the needed. Please advise me how to obtain the Moringa seeds. Your prompt response will be much appreciated. Yours truly, Andrew Ma Leave your comment |

An illustration (s) printed on a separate sheet of paper (usually heavy and better quality than the text pages) and added to the book during the binding process (pl, pls.).
the unit of a printing press from which stamps are actually printed. 19th and early 20th century stamps were produced from flat plates. Beginning in the mid-1920s most stamps were produced from curved (180º) plates that were used in pairs on a rotary press. Still more recently, many stamps have been printed from cylindrical plates. A plate is sometimes also known as a printing base.

also known as printing plate, a plate carrying an image or typeset page for use in making multiple copies of that image
A flat sheet of metal that holds the image reproduced during printing
A sheet of metal of specific thickness which is photo-sensitive on one side. During platemaking, a negative is placed over the plate and held in place by vacuum; light strikes the photo-sensitive material on the plate where the negative is clear; when the plate is processed, the areas struck by light rub up and become ink-receptive. This is the "image" on the plate. The area without image is water-receptive.
A sheet of metal used for intaglio prints. The size of a print is sometimes measured by the area within visible plate marks.
Metal or paper material that carries the image for offset printing.
See metal plate.

The printing matrix, originally of metal, but also used to designate the lithographic stone, or the glass matrix in the collograph and in photography.
a sheet of metal or wood or glass or plastic
a full-page illustration (usually on slick paper)

Short for printing plate. Generally a thin sheet of metal whose surface is treated so that only the printing image remains when processed.
The basic image-carrying surface in a printing process.

photosensitive plastic or metal material that is used in offset printing to transfer the image of a page to the offset duplicator.
A full page illustration with the reverse side being blank or without text. Sometimes a thin sheet of tissue called a "tissue guard" is placed in between the plate and the opposite page. In many older books the plates were simply "tipped-in," glued-in after all the signatures were sewn together. There is always the risk with antiquarian books that a tipped-in plate has become separated and lost from the binding, or that it was even deliberately removed by a breaker. When examining old books, it is prudent to count and compare the plates against the "List of Illustrations" found immediately after the Table of Contents page.
(noun) Curved or cylindrical shape carrying printing impression, for use on a printing press.

reproduction of type and images on a polyester-based material to form a printing surface in which ink is attracted to the printing areas and repelled from the non-printing areas.
Short for printing plate, which is the thin metal sheet that carries the printing image.
A sheet of metal holding the image from which an impression is produced.
(1) Brief for printing plate; a thin sheet of metal that carries the printing image, the surface of which is treated so that only that image is ink-receptive. (2) An illustration printed separately from the text and inserted by tipping. to top

Today is the day I have long anticipated! I feel like it is moving day–and I am staring at all the rooms needing filling. It is both overwhelming and full of possibilities. Space. Margin. Uninterrupted. Exhale.
Today all four of our children are in school ALL DAY. I love our children so much and love having them home, but for the first time in 14 1/2 years, I am alone at home. I like alone.
For the first seven years of our marriage, my Chris and I had no children (but oh, we longed for them). During those days at home, after two years of working full-time, while Chris was in Grad school, I filled the spaces with very long times in God's Word, decorating our home, learning to cook, crafting, time with friends and exercising.
That was then. Now? Well, I don't know… I will tell you how my morning has gone so far: Awoke early, drank coffee, read my Bible and made breakfast…took back to school pictures, printed the sheets for how to do school-pick-up this afternoon, played around on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, prayed over kiddos as they left or I dropped them off…then I WHOOPED loudly and clapped unabashedly all the way home. I parked in the silent garage and hollered and whooped again–HalleluYAH!
First thing when I got home, I walked to our front door floor and laid down face first–completely prone. And I prayed. I praised God for His abundant gifts to me, to us. I thanked Him for our children. I prayed over them, one-by one. I prayed over my Chris. I prayed over me. I asked Jesus to fill the spaces. I asked Him to make this season count. I prayed that our lives would not be compartmentalized, but completely over-lapping. May our faith in Jesus–our lights–shine for Him today and always.
That's what I have done so far. Then I came here to write, and it's only been an hour since drop off. So, as I stare into the rooms of our home, the rooms of my own life, I ask the LORD to decorate, to fill and to use us and our home.
"I, indeed was this and that; but He came, and a marvelous thing happened. Get to the margin where He does everything.", Oswald Chambers writes. Perhaps the margin is a rarity for nature abhors a vacuüm (the idea that empty or unfilled spaces are unnatural as they go against the laws of nature and physics–from Using English dot com). But I believe that if we ask Jesus to fill the spaces with Him, then we will find that even our busy, hurried lives have space every day, an oasis apart. If only we would look for and choose it.
So today, I am laying the foundation for this new season in prayer. I am building it on Christ, my firm foundation, and I am trusting that what He allows for this season will be good things from His hand. He will show me how to proceed–where to say yes and where to say no. I trust Him fully for it all.
Anticipating more of Jesus,

It's about more than just floors. Connect with other homeowners and get inspired to beautify your home.
Oftentimes we are drawn to a particular color for a particular reason. In other words, one of my favorite colors is green, any shade of green. Green is linked to so many positives in the color psychology world, environmental, sustainable, nature, down-to-earth and freshness.
Hardwood is moving more toward distressed planks, planks in wider widths, and exotic woods. Its no longer just plain maple or oak. We're seeing more mahogany, cherry, teak, and walnut. Also, mixing woods is becoming increasingly popular.

UK producer Until the Ribbon Breaks has been quietly drifting up the ranks of "musicians to watch out for in 2013." You'd almost consider his humble nature hampering in that effort if you hadn't heard his exquisite take on Laura Mvulva's "She" and his first outstanding, original single, "Pressure," which we covered back in January. Both of those singles received little fanfare by the artist; instead he seems perfectly willing to let his reputation build up slowly like a ship, until he can just glide out in it onto the ocean of goodwill he's built up.
Which is the same way he approaches his producing. On this remix of Of Monsters and Men's "King & Lionheart," gone is the doe-eyed folksiness of the original; in its wake is glitchy pop that wafts in like a fog above an urban center near the sea. As it slowly crawls over the pier onto the streets, the dusk streetlights spot on and off — much like the glitches in the song — illuminating bits and pieces of the emotional core.
It's a unique method of producing that I'd liken to a weird fusion of minimalist electronica, a la Junior Boys and Rudy Zygadlo. Check out more at his SoundCloud.

Boys hockey: Irish win finale
The Irish beat Farmington 5-1 SaturdayBy: Matt Steichen, Rosemount Town Pages
The Rosemount boys hockey team is hoping the success it experienced in last Saturday's regular season finale will carry over into the Section 3AA tournament.
The Irish ended a month-long nine-game losing streak by downing Farmington 5-1 in a non-conference section tune-up at Rosemount Community Center.
The victory improved the team to 5-20 overall after finishing a game out of last place in the South Suburban Conference with a record of 1-15. That record earned the Irish the No. 9 seed in Section 3AA and a first-round game at No. 8 Woodbury Tuesday night at Bielenberg Arena in Woodbury. The Royals are 7-14-4, but just 1-11-2 in their last 14 games.
Results can be found online at rosemounttownpages.com.
"It's going to be a tough game for us, but I think the mood is that the kids are excited to get on the ice and see what they can do," Rosemount coach Scott Macho said. "We took a break from Woodbury last year, but in previous years we've had good run-ins with them. They have a good goaltender and a pretty good forward that's been putting up points, but I think we match up pretty evenly. It's going to come down to hard work."
The Royals entered the section game having scored just four goals in their previous five outings. They went up against Rosemount goaltender Tom Fraune, who allowed just one goal while stopping 25 Farmington shots in the Irish's regular season finale three days earlier.
"That game was definitely a confidence booster for him," Macho said. "They had some good, quality shots and he came up with some big saves for us. He kept us around until we could start adding some points on our side of things."
The Irish were outshot 13-8 during what Macho called a "flat" first period, but the score stayed 0-0. Austin Anderson got the home team on the board with a goal 30 seconds into the second (assist to Trevor Kolden) and Ted Schultz knocked in a short-handed goal four minutes later (assist to Luke Meade) to make it 2-0.
After a Farmington goal cut the lead in half, Tyler Frank scored with assists to Meade and Andy Gustafson to make it 3-1 heading into the third.
Schultz completed his first hat trick of the season with a pair of third-period scores. Ryan Anderson and Josh Winter assisted on the first goal at 10:13 and Justin Crowell set up Schultz's third goal at 15:17.
Ryan Anderson finished the season as Rosemount's leader in points with 25 (11 goals, 14 assists). Schultz was right behind with 20 points (11 goals and nine assists), followed by Gustafson (12)?and Kolden (11).

NASA's Dawn spacecraft captured this shot while orbiting the asteroid Vesta at a distance of 2,700 kilometers. The image is part of a newly released batch of the most close-up photos ever taken of one of the largest asteroids in the solar system.
The image depicts the pockmarked southern pole of Vesta, a main-belt asteroid around 184 million kilometers away. A massive crater takes up most of the image, its rim outlined on one side by shadows cast from the asteroid's nighttime side. Although Hubble first imaged the 400-kilometer-wide crater in 1997, Carol Raymond, project scientist for the Dawn mission, said the new higher-resolution images held a few surprises.
"In a crater you think you're going to see a bowl, but this is more flat," Raymond says. "In this case, it looks like the impact was large enough to blow the polar cap off the asteroid."
Another surprise was found at the center of the depression, where a mound (not visible in image) rises 15 kilometers from the crater floor. At nearly twice the height of Mount Everest, the formation is one of the highest in altitude in the solar system. "It has no analogue on other planetary bodies that we're aware of," Raymond said. "We can't explain it. It's a very unusual feature."
In October, after Dawn beams back images with four times the resolution of the latest photos, Raymond and her team are hoping to get a clearer understanding of the processes behind the asteroid's unusual topography.

Chinese computer maker Lenovo was the No. 8 handset maker in the world, the first time the company cracked the top 10, according to ABI Research.
Lenovo primarily sells handsets in its home market of China, but is putting pressure on Chinese rivals like Huawei and TCL, notes Fierce Wireless.
ABI ranks the top 12 handset makers globally and lists the top 12 handset makers (with shipment numbers).
Smartphone owners are expected to download about 56 billion applications this year, reports ABI Research, most to Android, Apple, Microsoft and BlackBerry devices.
Of the 56 billion app downloads, approximately 32.5 billion, or 58% of them, will go to Android smartphones. Apple iPhone owners will download 18.5 billion apps, representing about 33% of the 56 billion total. That means 88 out of every 100 apps downloaded in 2013 will come from the Google Play Store or the iTunes App Store.

DENVER (AP) — State regulators have rejected a plan by Cotter Corp. to clean up contamination from a closed uranium mine that has flowed into a creek that feeds a Denver-area reservoir.
The Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety said Thursday it doesn't believe the plan would prevent uranium from contaminating Ralston Reservoir, which supplies some of the Denver area's drinking water. Read more

Kaylee meets up with Quinn. Cecil boards Serenity, and the rest of the crew settle in as if this were just another milk-run. Will they find out different? Z
Purple "J"s : part 4
"The Meet"
Kaylee, in the embrace of a tall, handsome, young man could feel the strength of his body as he pulled snuggly into her. She felt a bit embarrassed and uncomfortable being in the arms of a total stranger, yet she knew that this was part of the deception process she would have to play-along with in convincing the authority of Voltauge Prison that she, and he, were actually related.
"It's so good to see you cousin, it's been sooooooo……. long," he mildly spoke. He clutched to her as if the two were actually kin in some form or fashion. Although his powerful arms were wrapped tightly around her, and his head rested against her own, his touch was purely platonic. Kaylee felt that she could trust this man, with the sense that a woman gets when she feels that her safety is, in no way jeopardized. Even if Jayne hadn't been there, and there weren't guards standing near some of the blockhouse buildings, she felt that he could still be trusted. However, the inmate's hug did continue a little longer than the Serenity mechanic thought necessary.
"Quinn! Quinn! You can let me go now!" She spoke as she felt that their welcoming embrace had reached it's limit.
"Oh, sorry!"
The boy held the Firefly mechanic at arms length. She looked deeply into his light brown eyes. She saw a sadness there. A suffering that no child at the age of sixteen should have experienced. To witness the pain and cruelty he had seen, it hurt her heart.
Quinn gazed over at the big mercenary who had accompanied her.
"Who's this?"
She had to respond quickly, "Oh, this is cousin Jayn…….cousin Jay! He's a relative on my mother's side. You two have never met."
Quinn studied the big mercenary while still holding Kaylee in his grasp. He had neither greeted, nor adequately acknowledged Serenity's freelance mercenary, as he sized up her security companion with a skill that had been formed by years of being locked-up . Finally he spoke.
"The lady and I will be having a private conversation if you please!"
The words were harmless enough, it was their tone that told Jayne that his presents had been noted, and he had been released, un-respectably.
"Now look here you locked-up locker rat I………!" Jayne made a move towards the young inmate.
Kaylee sprang into action to defuse the situation.
"Look guys, we're here for a job! Any altercation other than a friendly handshake will alert the authorities that this may be other than that!"
She was right! They both knew it. The anger subsided in each face to a point that the "circling bulls", could come to an appropriate joining of hands, although each grip was deemed to express the mass of strength contained within the other's powerful form!
Jayne wondered off, only a scant twenty feet away. Quinn took the Firefly mechanic into an open shelter. It was a structure boarded up on three sides facing the blockhouses, yet open to the air on the side facing the electrified fence. It was in total view of the very apparent guard towers which stood fifty feet high at the corners of Voltauge's open compound. Kaylee had no doubt that they were being watched and studied as if they were micro organisms on a Petri dish. There was a table and chairs in the shelter for them to sit in. They each got comfortable, although not relaxed.
Kaylee could never relax in a place like this. She felt the eyes of a thousand rodents being cast in her direction, and she didn't mean the varmints that plagued the prison system on Silverhold, those numbered in the millions, she meant the incarcerated of the facility of Voltauge Prison itself, guards not excluded.
Quinn looked deeply into her eyes.
"I know that you want to know about me cousin, but first I want to know about you! I want to know who's hands I'm dumping my family's fortune into?"
A reasonable question, she thought. She went on to explain her role on Serenity, about Captain Mal, and something of the crew which were aboard, and which she had total confidence in. She also explained about the Captain's trustworthiness. His loyalty to the work, and his commitment in seeing each job through.
"That's all lovely, but tell me more about you?"
Kaylee felt a genuine bit of modesty at the idea of being asked about herself personally. She even blushed a little.
"Well my father is a mechanic. A Jack-of-all trades really. He works on bits of equipment here and there on our home world…..," she went on to tell him intricate details about herself, nothing embarrassing for sure, but enough just the same. She wrapped up things and took a look at him.
There was a scar running from just above his left eyebrow, over his eye, and down three inches onto his left cheek. It was old, been there for years likely. But it didn't change the rugged handsomeness of his face, and she could see that his left eye still functioned with no regard of the injury.
There was also a scar on his chin, which angled from above and tucked under. Both cuts had likely taken stitches, although the surgeon, if it had actually been medical person, had not done the job with the idea of cosmetic purposes. Simon would have done a lot better!
"Ok Miss Kaylee," He Began, "My family is from a wealthy linage on Aberdeen. We ran cattle and stock just as most folk on planets in that part of the verse have done for years. Amassed quite a bit of fortune too, we did," he paused a moment recalling his home life, "But it wasn't without struggle, or the hard times that so many folk have to deal with out on the rim worlds, we had our share. My dad worked his fingers to the bone, and mom spent many a night with her own worries and pains. She saw to her children and to her husband until the day he died. That was just before the war. I became the man of the house, and with the help of my uncle, mom's brother, who lived in town just down the street, and our ranch hands, we were able to do Okay," he stopped to wet his lips.
"Just months after the war had started there was a skirmish on Aberdeen, they said it was a skirmish, I say it was an all out battle to test the strength of each side. My family had remained neutral during the beginning, and took criticism from other ranchers in the area. Still, we didn't choose a side. I think it was my mother's way of trying to safeguard me. Uncle Jake did take sides though, more on the independents. Although if questioned he wouldn't admit either way. There was a concern that the family's fortune and of other valuables may become at risk during the battle, and a plan was constructed to hide things in the valley hills outside of town. The sounds of the battle in the distance getting closer told us that it was time to get moving. My uncle and I loaded up and took the stuff out to a secret hiding place known only to us. We stored it there, concealed the entrance and headed back towards town. On the way back we came upon two injured soldiers of the Independence Belted Scorpions brigade. We loaded them up in the wagon and resumed our journey back towards town. In less than a mile we were stopped by an Alliance force know as the Purple Jags, or Purple Jaguars. We told them our story of just finding the wounded Browncoats, but they didn't buy it. They took the men prisoner, then also my uncle. At my protest they put me in cuffs too. They split up the group of about fifteen Purple Js, with half returning with us to the Alliance lines. The others continuing into town. I heard them say that it was a Browncoat friendly town."
Quinn fell silent and looked down to the table for a while. He took a moment then spoke again.
"The town was sacked, much of it burnt. I don't know what happened to my sister or mother?" He looked back up into Kaylee's eyes, "I may be able to get out of here in a year or two, if I behave myself. But I can't wait, or even know if it will happen? I will search for my mother and sister when I do, my uncle Jake too. They were the only family I had." He stopped and took in a breath, "I do know where the family riches are though, and I can use it to buy information at my release."
His eyes shifted from side to side as if the very walls of the shelter had ears, "If the inmates around here knew of the amount and location, I'd be in the prison morgue before evening chow." The seriousness and concern never left him during this time. "I'm trusting you and Captain Reynolds to protect the only connections I have to my family left. I hope I'm doing the right thing?"
Kaylee was going to speak when a guard approached them.
"Times up!"
"Give me an extra couple minutes please."
"I said times UP!"
"AND I SAID I NEED A COUPLE MINUTES!" Quinn was about to rise from the chair. He did have a temper!
The guard heard a grumble and turned to see Jayne standing a few feet behind him. Between two such men, it didn't look to be a fair fight, even with the stun gun in his grip, he was thinking. He gave a little ground.
"Ok two minutes, that's it!"
Quinn returned to Kaylee and spoke more. When he was finished he looked at Jayne and gave him a respectful nod. That was more than the big mercenary had gotten from him before. Serenity's mercenary responded in like manner.
The two Firefly crewmembers then exited Voltauge Prison heading back towards Serenity, and the safety of the ship.
Purple "J"s : part 5
"Breakfast with the Crazies"
Malcolm Reynolds stretched his arms above his head. He was on the bridge of his ship, watching as Serenity's nose was pointed towards a cluster of stars way out into the ridiculously distant blackness of space. He knew that his boat could travel for a thousand years, and still have thousands more to travel before reaching that star cluster. Good thing their destination was just a little more than two days away. The dark, vast, void of the black was amazing, but also scary at the same time.
The Captain brought his arms back down and again hooked them into the suspenders he wore which were buckled to his pants. His nose caught a whiff of something good entering the Firefly cockpit. He turned in the chair to identify exactly what he was smelling.
"Ok Cap, I'm good to go!"
Zoe looked at her Captain as she held a dish of food in her hands. Mal's lieutenant had just returned after he had given her a break from her nightshift piloting duties. She had used the time to freshen up and head to the galley to get something to eat.
"That smells GREAT! What is it?"
" Breakfast!" Zoe gave her commander a smile, "I don't know what you call it. It's something your new cook whipped up! It does smell good though doesn't it?" Her eyes were bright at the thought of enjoying her meal.
Zoe was waiting for her shift to end. She had piloted Serenity while the others had slept. She was now waiting on her husband to come and relieve her.
"Wash should be up shortly, that is if he doesn't oversleep," Mal grinned at his wartime buddy.
"Oh, I know ways of getting him up," she said with a smile.
The Captain grinned. He wasn't about to respond to that statement. He looked back down at the food she'd brought back with her.
"Think I'll try some of that myself," he reported. Then off towards the kitchen he went.
Cecil Deans had been on Serenity for over two weeks. It was part of the deal Mal had made with his cousin Monty, to have one of his men onboard to accompany them in acquiring Quinn's treasure. Besides, Deans had secrets. He held a part of the plan which actually named the area where the search would begin.
Mal had followed his nose to the ship's galley. He found it occupied by several others. Kaylee was there, still rubbing the sleep from her eyes, and Cecil, and River, fluttering about in a whimsical dance.
"Rainbows and butterflies together in the sky, one looks like candy, the other a bow tie."
By now most of the crew just took to ignoring the young Miss when she was in one of her moods. They paid her prose little mind, neither as annoying nor something to be alerted to. The new cook had learned to ignore her as well. The only one that her frolicking about still bothered was Jayne.
"Moring Cap, get you some breakfast?" Deans asked.
Mal looked over at the man.
"You bet!"
"….and you young lady?" Cecil spoke to Serenity's master mechanic.
Kaylee smiled and nodded her head yes.
"What about you young Miss?" The cook looked at River.
"I don't think…." Mal started to say…..
"Sure!" She said, stopping right in the middle of her dance and joining them. The three sat right at the table waiting for the delicious smelling breakfast to be laid before them. The Captain sat there silently thinking that this was much better than the other bit of fixings that Cecil had provided for him on Monty's boat. He looked at Kaylee…….
"So you and Mr. Deans been discussing anything of interest?"
Kaylee stopped rubbing her eyes for a moment and viewed the Captain.
"Yeah, I was just talking with him, did you know that he was a veteran of the war, a participant in the Battle of Timber Falls?"
Mal's eyebrows raised, he looked over at the cook. The man seemed a bit embarrassed about what Kaylee had told the him.
"Sergeant Reynolds!" he had heard it many a time. Malcolm did know a little about the war, but he was no historian. He knew bits and pieces of those first skirmishes, but not a lot.
"Battle of Timber Falls, that was on Aberdeen wasn't it?" He viewed Cecil.
"It was."
"Sorry, I don't know much about that battle," Mal continued on the subject, "I do know it was early in the war, and it's where the Independence took their first trouncing! I think after that the Alliance got it in their heads that beating the Browncoats would be a cakewalk. Guess they found out different."
"Yeah, guess they did," Deans replied.
"So, you fought there?" It was a redundant question, it had already been answered. Still Mal was looking for more information from the man.
"Yep, fought with the 101, Belted Scorpions Brigade, commanded by Kirby Casey." Deans said as he set three bowls before them on the galley table. He went back to the kitchen an returned with his own.
"Bloody combat, purple cats, chased the people around like rats. Towns and buildings go up in flame, the guilty never caught, never blamed."
All eyes turned to River. Evidently she hadn't finished her crazy spell. She took a bite of the food before her. Then returned the spoon to the bowl.
"Look at the yellow rocks how they gleam, walk to the water and cross the stream. From there your steps will be marked and measured, one hundred paces you'll find the treasure."
The young River was still looking down. Memorized by the swirl and patterns of the food there.
"River dear, bad dreams sweetheart?" Mal just wanted her to be quiet. Shut her jabbering before she gave something away that would alert Cecil to who she was.
River cut the Captain a pair of dagger eyes.
"No……..bad dreams are what you have Captain. Mine are nightmares!"
She got up from the table and exited the galley.

Other than the fact that we got lost on our way there, our stay was fine. It would be helpful for staff to clarify that the hotel is on Eglinton Ave... West - TORONTO vs. Eglinton Ave West - MISSISSAUGA. It's easy to mistake and end up in the country travelling along Eglinton as it changes from West to East to West again. Staff friendly, funky front entrance and decor, room was very clean, continental buffet breakfast was good. We were only there overnight and did not access any of the hotel amenities but would book there again. Diulas oleh tetamu Hotels.com pada 16 Mei 2013

The present study offers an extended neo-Riemannian examination of chromatic-third relations in selected Bruckner compositions of the 1880s, and it constitutes the first such examination of the composer's music. Owing to its inherent indifference towards the notions of tonal centre and conventional harmonic syntax, a neo-Riemannian transformational model seems particularly apt for the analysis of the music selected – music in which non-functional chord progressions, symmetrical divisions of the octave and the temporary suspension of tonic centricity are featured. The characteristics of the works analysed here suggest an evolution in Bruckner's handling of chromaticism, from the seemingly sui generis mixture of plagal and chromatic-third relations in the coda of the opening movement of the Sixth Symphony, to a more methodical use of hexatonic-polar transformations in the motet Ecce sacerdos magnus, to the exhaustive, almost systematic exploration of hexatonic cycles in the finale of the Eighth Symphony.
Insertions between the structural dominant and tonic of underlying perfect cadences delay and intensify progressions of harmony, voice leading and hypermetre. More disruptive than other evaded cadences, these cadential interventions ultimately still serve to unify the music through motivic development. Brief analysis of excerpts from the works of J.S. Bach and Haydn demonstrates the traditional use of cadential intervention and prepares for the analysis of an idiomatic approach by Shostakovich. His Prelude in C♯ minor, Op. 34 No. 10, and Second Piano Trio, Op. 67, contain extraordinary cadential interventions that seem to break continuity, on the one hand, yet serve vital unifying roles in the larger context of each piece, on the other. Since both structural and hermeneutical meaning in the Trio hinges on interpretation of its tonal closure, the cadential intervention at its conclusion receives special attention. Modified Schenkerian analysis invites an alternative approach, showing how an underlying complete tonal structure may substantiate a complete narrative.
Although the second theme (ST) group is a crucial landmark in Classical sonata form, where it is usually articulated with great clarity, in many instances its beginning cannot be so easily discerned, especially in Beethoven. The problem is that no matter how powerful a single rule may be, none by itself can identify all those locations which may be considered an ST beginning. This article therefore proposes that an ST beginning depends on the presence of several musical signals, each of which contributes to its expression. These include: (1) tonic harmony of the new key, (2) beginning and end functions in the manner of one of Caplin's theme types, (3) preparation by a phrase-ending chord, (4) the textural gap of Hepokoski and Darcy's medial caesura (MC) and, at the ST beginning itself, (5) a change in texture, (6) a change in dynamic and (7) characteristic melodic material. A sonata deformation in any of the first three signals sets off a teleological ST process, which attempts to compensate for the deficiencies of the signal. By contrast, the deformation of an absent MC gap can produce an integrated ST or, if combined with an absent preparatory chord, a spontaneous ST.
In this essay I analyse the form of Wagner's overture to Der fliegende Holländer (1841) as part of a constellation that also includes the composer's published programme for the overture as well as the stage action and a few key musical events in the opera. To that end, I use analytical tools inspired by the 'new Formenlehre' (William Caplin's theory of formal functions and James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy's theory of sonata form) in conjunction with aspects of narrative and intertextuality. I argue that Wagner's innovative use of musical form in the overture functions as a background against which events in the opera are thrown into relief, so that both can be understood as two essentially different versions of the same narrative. In the overture, sophisticated manipulation of the conventions of musical form generates a symphonic narrative, while changes to the narrative in the opera are articulated by the reworking of aspects of that same musical form at crucial moments in the drama. Both the overture's form and the opera's dramaturgical design gain in significance through an intertextual dialogue that Wagner sets up between his opera and the model of Weber's Der Freischütz (1821).
The notion that pitch-class sets might occupy some form of multi-dimensional space has engaged a number of theorists over the years. The 'space odyssey' in this article delves into several new issues, such as a methodology for the creation of a comprehensive array of bonded inclusional growth chains, the formation of a diatonic-to-chromatic, M5-induced spectrum of symmetrically arranged set classes and a simple method for establishing levels of affinity between set classes. These investigations lead to the advancement of a sixfold system of genera and to hierarchical distributions of all set classes, furnishing a distinct shape or profile to the whole set-class universe and to each of the genera. A productive way of producing a three-dimensional model incorporating all set classes presents itself if four foci, the 'bichromatic' 6–7 (0,1,2,6,7,8), hexatonic 6–20 (0,1,4,5,8,9), octatonic 6–30 (0,1,3,6,7,9) and whole-tone 6–35 (0,2,4,6,8,10), are granted their own spatial 'homes' at distant points on an M-invariant axis placed perpendicular to a diatonic 6–32 (0,2,4,5,7,9) to chromatic 6–1 (0,1,2,3,4,5) axis. A transparent globe would seem to be the most suitable vehicle for the representation of this arrangement, where the chromatic and diatonic foci take the 'north' and 'south' poles and the other four take their positions around the 'equator'.

HAWTHORN dynamo Cyril Rioli says he is in top shape as the Hawks prepare for their shot at glory later this month.
Rioli missed two games with a shoulder injury after copping a knock against Port Adelaide in Round 20 and was reintroduced as the sub in the Round 23 win against West Coast at the MCG.
The 23-year-old also appeared to grab at his hamstring in the qualifying final win against Collingwood last week, but allayed fears he had injured himself with a withering burst towards the forward line soon after.
Rioli said he could not be in better shape coming in to next week's preliminary final.
"The legs are fine and the body is fine,'' Rioli said this week.
"It's still sort of good to get back and have a full game, it was a bit hard being the sub last week, so I had a lot of fun out there.''
While most teams are content to have semi-final week off knowing a prelim awaits, Rioli said, on a personal note, he sort of wished he was playing this weekend.
"I think the boys would love to be playing this week,'' he said.
"Having a week off, with footy, it's a bit difficult knowing that other teams are out there playing.''
Both Jordan Lewis (hamstring tightness) and Clinton Young (calf) missed the win over the Pies, but Rioli said the pair would "definitely'' be back next week.
"It was just a bit of a risk going in to a final (when) they were a bit tight, so we just thought we'd rest them up but they'll definitely be back.''
The Hawks will play the winner of tomorrow night's clash between Adelaide and Fremantle at AAMI Stadium.
The players won't travel to South Australia to watch the game, but star forward Lance Franklin said they would be interested onlookers from afar.
"I think the boys will probably get together or watch it with a couple of the boys to see who we're going to play,'' Franklin said.
"It's going to be interesting.''
The preliminary final will be played as a Saturday twilight game, with the bounce to take place at 5.15pm - a first for a Melbourne final.
Sydney will take on the winner of Saturday's Collingwood-West Coast clash on the Friday night, the only time ANZ Stadium is available because an NRL preliminary final has been booked for the Saturday night.
That the Hawks have not been given the earlier slot traditionally reserved for the minor premier has been labelled as unfair in some quarters.
But Franklin said the he was unconcerned by the fact the players will have a day less to prepare for a Grand Final, should it get there, than the other preliminary finalists.
"We haven't really thought about it at all to be honest, we're just excited to get ourselves in a position to play in a prelim and hopefully in to a Grand Final,'' he said.

Face off
In order to better detox you from the FB experience, allow me to provide a few of that site's typical posts which you may, through the link below, comment on. It is unfortunate that Blogger does not offer the thumb's up "like" icon, a viable alternative in those times when one feels like a drooling, slack-jawed moron, someone akin to Jeff Goldblum's hooligan in Death Wish (where he wore a Jughead-style felt crown and moaned "I'm gonna do a thiiing" while spray painting graffiti). So flex your mind around these witty, FB-style entries with a few Twitter Tweets thrown in for good measure, and become one with the networking universe:

I have a vague memory from the Spring tutorials that JMX can be used to Monitor (only) java objects. Which (duh) is half the point.
I want to use this to take a look at some of the internals of a web app I need t performance tuning and profiling. However it would appear from all the documentation I have seen that I need to adjust the objects for JMX.
Am I missing something?
Is this a reasonable way to do the performance/profiling or are there better ways?

Is anything beyond political spin? The very public kiss between President Barack Obama and the first lady at a basketball match on Monday may have been somewhat staged.
Barack and Michelle Obama were at the game between the US Olympic basketball team and Brazil in Washington's Verizon Centre when the stadium's "kiss cam" focused its sights on them.
President Obama politely declined. Instead he decided to demurely put his arm around the first lady and was booed by disappointed fans.
Towards the end of the game, the President got a chance to redeem himself when the camera focused on the couple again. This time he rose to the occasion, delivering a kiss on the lips of Mrs Obama, along with a peck on the forehead for good measure. The crowd cheered.
But New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker later tweeted the second attempt may have been engineered.
"Not to be cynical, but press pool was out in motorcade ready to leave and then brought back into arena in time for successful kiss-cam redo," he wrote.
Kiss cams, in which couples in the stands are filmed on the big screen and encouraged to smooch, are popular at big sporting matches in America.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the Obamas did not understand what was happening when they appeared on the big screen, but realised their error once their daughters explained the finer points of kiss cam etiquette at half-time.

I've decided to change the name from Wednesday Wisdom to Wednesday Waffle. Wednesday Wisdom makes me sound up my own arse, and if you knew me in 'real life' you'd know I'm so self-deprecating I'm always taking the piss out of myself. The point was the 'wisdom' was never going to be mine, as these posts are always things I've seen that have inspired me, but still, it sounded arrogant and I bloody hate arrogance. Waffle is something that sounds more humble, and humble is much more me.
So waffle it is! I'm good at waffling.
Here are a few things I've seen on the net this week which have stoked my fire, so to speak.
Thanks for being here!

Aluminum is an experimentally demonstrated neurotoxin and the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant. Despite almost 90 years of widespread use of aluminum adjuvants, medical science's understanding about their mechanisms of action is still remarkably poor. There is also a concerning scarcity of data on toxicology and pharmacokinetics of these compounds. In spite of this, the notion that aluminum in vaccines is safe appears to be widely accepted. Experimental research, however, clearly shows that aluminum adjuvants have a potential to induce serious immunological disorders in humans.

Beautiful houseboat/ship on the Amstel river, 15 minutes from city center by bike or public transport. Boat is located next to the Martin Luther King park - so it's really quiet as there are no other houses nearby (except for neighboring boats). In the summer you can swim in the Amstel, sit outside on the deck in a Fatboy or relax in a hammock.
Please note that I'm not offering the entire houseboat. It includes the depicted bedroom - and of course you can make use of the living room, bathroom, and the deck. I will be there as well ;-)
There is broadband internet (via wifi) and heating for the colder days.
The ship is in sailing condition. If you want to go out on a day trip (at cost), please let me know well in advance, as I have to arrange staff.
Some notes:
1. Boats were built the move stuff, not people. Therefore the ceilings are not very high. If you are taller than 1.85m, you will not be able to stand up straight everywhere.
2. Google Streetview: these images were shot during the Parade street festival. This is a 2 weeks festival in August - which is great, fun, but noisy. For the rest of the year, the park is quiet and there are no fences or porta potties either.
3. I can't host more than 2 persons.
Hope to welcome you on board of this magical boat.
