"Other things in the world are white, but for me porcelain comes first."
A handful of clay from a Chinese hillside carries a promise: that mixed with the right materials, it might survive the fire of the kiln and fuse into porcelain - translucent, luminous, white.
Acclaimed writer and potter Edmund de Waal sets out on a quest - a journey that begins in the dusty city of Jingdezhen in China and travels on to Venice, Versailles, Dublin, Dresden, the Appalachian Mountains of South Carolina and the hills of Cornwall to tell the history of porcelain.
Along the way he meets the witnesses to its creation - those who were inspired or made rich or heartsick by it and the many whose livelihoods, minds and bodies were broken by this obsession. It spans a thousand years and reaches into some of the most tragic moments of recent times.
In these intimate and compelling encounters with the people and landscapes who made porcelain, Edmund de Waal enriches his understanding of this rare material, the 'white gold' he has worked with for decades.

The Unbearable Whiteness of Being!
Augustus Elector of Saxony admitted that he had 'la maladie de porcelaine' and possessed a collection of 35,000 pieces of exquisite porcelain to prove it. De Waal has a similar malady of whiteness, a porcelain obsession nurtured since he was five years old when he made his first pot and dipped it in white glaze. In this fascinating if self-indulgent book he travels the world including China, Venice and Dresden, the Appalachian Mountains and Cornwall.
The best parts of the book are those that teem with insights, varied facts and details of the history of porcelain and its manufacture: from the Chinese Emperors ordering tens and tens of thousands of matching plates, dishes and cups to Himmler's love of the pure 'undegenerate' white porcelain made in Dachau Concentration camp, to Chairman Mau's tea-set and the sealing of the seam which produced the clay after his death so that no duplicate could ever be made. The background to Wedgwood's spectacular success - which blackened the air of Stoke - is detailed from his buying up a complete obsolete wooden ship to provide fuel for his kilns to his acute business sense which made him send gifts of Queens Ware to Queen Charlotte.De Waal presents the seductive, sublime perfection of the finished artefacts as vividly as the terrible sufferings of the armies of oppressed people who produced it - including the skilled kiln packers, scrapers, those who wrecked their lungs grinding pigments or those whose homes were burned when kilns caught fire - and the worker who threw himself into the kiln rather than face the consequences of his imperfect firing.
The least interesting parts are those in which de Waal indulges in extensive analysis of whiteness and his obsessional pursuit of it. A little of that goes a long way. I found the narrator Michael Maloney, who has also read de Waal's Hare with Amber Eyes, far too irritatingly reverential, too exaggeratedly wonder-filled. There's clearly a spiritual element to de Waal and his pots - the sub title is 'A pilgrimage of Sorts' - and Maloney wants to convey this through his narration. But it's excessive - there's enough passion and ecstasy in the words without it being injected into every sentence.
But don't let that put you off - there's nothing else out there like this book - or quite like de Waal - and it's well worth listening to.

Journey into white
The White Road is a beautifully written and fascinating exploration of porcelain - it's origins, creators and makers, alongside its history, economics and socio-cultural value, This is a terrific book by an acclaimed potter and writer.
de Waal explores the Chinese development of porcelain as a remarkable marketable material and examines its production in Jingdezhen alongside its discovery and use in a range of other settings from the Appalachians to Germany to England and back to China. The social history is insightful regarding the punishingly hard work, the ill-health, and the secret recipes that abound wherever this unique (set of) substance(s) is used.
de Waal's thorough and personalised research invites our scrutiny - whether in China where it is produced by specialised local factories and kilns or in the Third Reich where the Nazis promoted it as a manifestation of Aryan white purity. Mao too gets a mention, highlighting how brutal dictators have sought to control this substance and how the craftsmen on the ground have responded and adapted to their demands.
de Waal interfaces these fascinating stories with his own craft and socio-historic exhibition. Full of wonderful enlightening facts and fictions...

Five things for pharma marketers to know: Friday, October 30, 2015
1. Valeant Pharmaceuticals severed ties with Philidor Rx Services. The drugmaker had purchased a $100 million option in the specialty pharmacy in 2014. Philidor allegedly modified prescriptions and used other "backdoor" tactics to ensure insurance reimbursement for Valeant drugs, The Wall Street Journal reported. Those practices have come under scrutiny and are part of a broader examination of Valeant's controversial business model.
2. Federal officials arrested the former president of Warner Chilcott, which is now owned by Allergan, on charges of conspiring to pay kickbacks to doctors to encourage them to write prescriptions for the company's drugs, The Wall Street Journal reported. This is unusual, as is the move to indict a physician who released patient data and took $23,500 in exchange for writing prescriptions for Warner Chilcott drugs, according to Pharmalot. The company will pay $125 million to resolve criminal and civil liabilities related to the sales and marketing of osteoporosis drug Actonel and several other drugs.
3. If a news story describes a cancer drug as a "miracle" or a "breakthrough," it's probably not true, according to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine. MedPage Today reported that 100 articles featuring 36 cancer drugs used those descriptions: Fifty percent of the time the drug had not yet been approved by the FDA, and 14% of the time they had not gone through human clinical trials.
4. UnitedHealthcare said it plans to expand a program that bundles payments for chemotherapy in an effort to lower cancer-care costs, according to Kaiser Health News. The program puts a cap on the profit that oncology practices can make based on the drugs that doctors prescribe.
5. If a deal with Pfizer goes through, Allergan CEO Brent Saunders may be in line to lead the combined company, Bloomberg News reported. Saunders, who is 45 years old, is a compliance executive who served as CEO of Bausch & Lomb until it sold to Valeant. He's publicly received Botox injections and continues to work out of an office in the drugmaker's office in Parsippany, NJ.


text: Hello people, I just wanted to ask for your opinion My next campaign will feature a fake content movie download site. Is it a good idea to host such a site on a blogger custom domain? I mean, can I expect any problems? I rly love blogger because I'm very good with it. Most people recommend WP though... Anyway, can you recommend an anynomous (and cheap) hosting company, since I maybe want my website in german, and I hate those bloodsucking german lawyers.

A new survey from Harman confirms that most drivers want talk-to-type emails and voice texts, according to a posting on CE Outlook.
Seven out of 10 surveyed say they want voice control over phone calls, audio and navigation, and they are willing to pay for it, according to the survey of 500 people commissioned by Harman. Eighty percent said they would pay a premium for voice control. Only 30 percent believed that touch or in-dash controls were better than voice.
Interestingly, 70 percent see voice control as making driving safer. According to the posting: "Commuters don't want to be 'disconnected' from their life for an hour when they get in the car. They want to 'waste less time' in the car."
Clearly there is a strong market for devices and technologies that enable us to connect at every possible moment during the driving experience. From an insurance point of view, as I have mentioned here previously, this is a nightmare waiting to happen. What really disturbs me, however, is the notion that if drivers want to put themselves at increased risk by having more distractions at hand, we should all be in favor of that.
Did I say increased risk? Yes, those who think voice control will making driving safer are no doubt speculating that it's safer to say a command than to push a button physically. Maybe that's so, but we also have to consider that there will be many commands to say and—inevitably—a readout monitor to check on what is going on. So if I have to think about what to tell my many car systems and then check on what the results are, am I more or less distracted than I was when all I had to worry about was my car radio?
My point is that while voice commands may be less physically demanding, the increasing demand on the Internet-connected driver's attention is likely to be a problem. Of course, I want everyone to be as productive as possible while driving, but the more systems you have to think about, the less you can concentrate on driving. In fact, I can see a future scenario in which auto insurance premiums will actually increase in proportion to a vehicle's potential to distract its drivers.
Turning back to the survey, another most interesting finding is that nearly all those asked believe that fully automated driving is coming soon, with most thinking it will happen within 5 to 10 years. I see this as wishful thinking among the "entertainment first" driver contingent. It could happen, though, and at that point auto insurance will become superfluous, since with computers doing the driving will be no mistakes—thus, no accidents. And if there is a glitch with someone's computers, it should be very interesting to see who gets the blame and who pays the hospital and funeral expenses.
Other than that, it sounds great.

It was a case of the rich hitting the jackpot again for Friendship Christian School. Just months removed from claiming the Class 2A state football championship, and one week before summer workouts would begin, Commanders coach John McNeal was told there was a student/athlete looking to transfer.
The player was A.J. Long, an all-state quarterback from Pennsylvania who was moving to live with his mother and stepfather less than 10 miles from the Lebanon, Tenn., school.
McNeal admitted he had to research Long after meeting him to find out how good the player was.
"I was coming out of a meeting and someone told me there was a young man and his mother wanting to find out about the school, take a tour, that sort of thing," McNeal told the Wilson Post. "They also said he was a football player, but I had no idea he was that kind of football player. I knew nothing about him.
"From the first day he was here, you wouldn't know he has been here just a couple of weeks. You'd think he's been here a long time. He's a great kid, he fits in, is always happy around the kids and personality-wise he's been great."
Containing Long will be the biggest challenge for Boyd-Buchanan in tonight's 2A semifinal, a rematch of last year's quarterfinal overtime thriller that FCS won by one point.
While living with his father in Pennsylvania, Long became an all-state player and a MaxPreps second-team sophomore All-American by throwing for 3,700 yards, rushing for 931 and totaling 63 touchdowns. He also led his team, St. Pius X, to the District 11 Class A state championship last season.
This year with the defending TSSAA champion Commanders, Long has thrown for 2,243 yards and rushed for 570 (7.8 per attempt) with 39 total TDs. He already has scholarship offers from UCLA, Arizona and Syracuse, and last week he threw for 233 and five TDs and ran for 100 on just 10 carries in the win over Marion County.
"He's very athletic and accurate on his throws," Boyd-Buchanan coach Grant Reynolds said. "What scares you is he runs as well as he throws and makes good decisions with the ball. If you get pressure he can scramble and throw it downfield or just take off on a big run, so we'll have to be sound in our discipline and our reads. You have to keep an eye on him on every play or he'll hurt you."


text: Hello I've been lurking in these forums for a little while now, and I was hoping to get a little advice regarding MiniSD cards. I have now decided to buy a DS Lite, SuperCard MiniSD, Max Media Launcher and a 1GB MiniSD Card (and perhaps flash the firmware when I build up the confidence ) However, I have read a few threads around that have looked at the difference of various MiniSD cards - brands and speeds. I decided that my best option would be to purchase both the SC and MiniSD at winsunx.com; so I am wondering, of the 3 MiniSD cards they list on their site, which is the best? (I suppose price doesn't really matter since they are within 4USD ) KingMAX 1GB Mini Secure Digital Card US$ 36 Kingston 1GB Mini SecureDigital Card US$ 32 Eagletec 1GB Mini Secure Digital Card (Out of stock) No listed price [They have a SanDisk, but only in 2GB] Also, none of the pages listing those cards seem to display the same notation I have seen used, such as 30X and 150X, which makes it difficult to gauge how good each card is. I imagine I would be looking to try out NDS and GBA roms on the system; if this would affect which card would be best. Many thanks


text: Doctor Who: The Snowmen - Review * 26 December 2012 Now we've digested our turkey, it's time to take stock of the annual Doctor Who Christmas Special, once again written by Steven Moffat - and this year featuring a glut of knowing references to the World's Greatest Detective… Please note that while this review contains no explicit plot spoilers, there is discussion of characterisation and thematic material. Following the pattern of the eleventh Doctor's previous Christmas specials, this year's entry once again draws inspiration from a festively tinged tale from another author. Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol provided the basis for the special of the same name, while C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was reconfigured as The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe. This year, Steven Moffat takes a perennial British animated favourite and lends it a malevolent science fiction twist. Raymond Briggs' The Snowman was published as a book in 1978, and screened its animated form for the first time in 1982 - with the sequel airing in the UK on December 24 2012, the day before this Doctor Who special. However, The Snowmen takes the initial conceit of a lonely boy building a snowman that comes to magical life and spins it to far darker ends… Graced with a new and pleasingly retro main title but intentionally slow to start, the episode finds The Doctor (Matt Smith) segregated in self-imposed exile after the loss of Amy and Rory, Scrooge like in his manner, and in quite notable contrast to the special of two years ago. Perhaps more whimsical than we've ever seen him, the TARDIS - complete with a newly redesigned interior - is parked on top of an artificial cloud above Victorian London, accessible only by a winding metal spiral staircase. The Doctor has retreated to be near the only friends he has left - the Silurian detective Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh), her human companion Jenny (Catrin Stuart), and the Sontaran medic Strax (Dan Starkey); all veterans of the Battle of Demon's Run in Series Six's A Good Man Goes to War - but the Time Lord has little interest in engaging with them. It's only the appearance of Clara (Jenna-Louise Coleman) that brings him fully out of his shell again to face the growing number of mysterious living snowmen that are appearing in the British capital. The period setting is suitably and classically Christmas, and has already seen several of the previous Doctor Who specials take place in it. But this one in particular, set in 1892, allows the huge Sherlock Holmes fan within Steven Moffat to plant his tongue very firmly in his cheek, and drop in a bounty of Holmes references. Almost from the off, it's noted that Holmes is fictional, but in the reality of Doctor Who Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has based both him and Doctor John Watson off a real life pair of detectives - it's just that they're actually a lizard lady from the dawn of time and her wife! Later on The Doctor pays a visit to the home of the antagonist Dr Simeon (Richard E. Grant), gaining entry to the premises under the identity of Sherlock Holmes and decked out in full Basil Rathbone regalia, dropping references in the dialogue all while Murray Gold's score pays explicit homage to David Arnold and Michael Price's work on our beloved modern day incarnation of the detective. As an aside, Raymond Briggs and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle aren't the only authors to take a nod in the script, with a repeated reference to the Stark family mantra "Winter is Coming" from George R.R. Martin's fantasy series Game of Thrones being made in Dr Simeon's dialogue. Steven Moffat gives us a twisting narrative that is oddly light on actual plot, instead placing his focus on the aftermath of previous events from the main series while also - just about - allowing the hour to stand alone as a Christmas special. It's suitably festive but also slightly complex, with an unexpected plunge at the mid-point picking up the thread left at the beginning of Series seven with Oswin's appearance in Asylum of the Daleks, and then deepening it come the close. As is often the case with stories that feature The Doctor alone, it is also a story about rumination and focusing on things and people you have lost, something that often happens amongst the merriment of Christmas Day - and aptly it is always a community or family that can shake you out of such a mind-set, especially if you unexpectedly find yourself with a new addition to the crowd. While Doctor Who is never a series that could ever stagnate, the arrival of Jenna-Louise Coleman gives the hour a different kind of spark than previous companions, and we're definitely looking forward to seeing Steven Moffat explain her existence going forward. The exact nature of Clara Oswin Oswald remains as mysterious as ever, and will clearly form the backbone of the remainder of series seven, airing in spring 2013.

Oh, wait a minute, we do want the kids to act like adults. At least some of the time. And what about the kids? Well, they want to be treated like adults. Except when they don't. It seems the student editor of the Lenoir City High School paper wanted to publish an editorial describing how atheists in the school are allegedly discriminated against. The school principal decided the editorial would be disruptive, and wouldn't allow it to be published.

A defiant Joan Rivers is back in hot water.
The "Fashion Police" host recently compared living in her daughter's guest room with the ordeal the women kidnapped by Ariel Castro went through, and now two of them want an apology.
Rivers and her daughter were discussing their reality show on NBC's "Today" show on Tuesday when she complained about her living arrangements, saying, "Those women in the basement in Cleveland had more space."
A statement issued on Wednesday by attorneys for Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus called Rivers' remark hurtful and shocking.
Berry, DeJesus and a third woman, Michelle Knight, were held in Castro's home in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland for varying amounts of time, but none of them less than a decade. They were repeatedly abused until their escape last year.
After the women escaped and he had been caught, Castro hanged himself in prison.
The attorneys for Berry and DeJesus said the women have endured painful media attention and that Rivers' comment is a "new low" that warrants an apology.
Rivers' publicist hasn't responded to messages seeking comment, but the TV host told TMZ that the three women shouldn't complain.
"They got to live rent free for more than a decade," said the 80-year-old comedienne, adding that she made a joke and that the women should lighten up. "One of them has a book deal. Neither are in a psych ward. They're okay. I bet you within three years one of them will be on 'Dancing with the Stars.'"
Rivers said she would not be apologizing, and that plenty of comedians have used tragic events like Hitler's terror and the sinking of the Titanic.
She also told the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "I know what those girls went through. It was a little, stupid joke. There is nothing to apologize for. I made a joke. That's what I do. Calm down. Calm f------ down. I'm a comedienne. They're free, so let's move on."

AIX-EN-PROVENCE is known for many things - the shielding plane trees lining its broad Cours Mirabeau, the healing waters sprinkling in its fountains, the elegance of its centuries-old buildings and the excellence of its ancient university. One of the city's biggest attractions, however, is a little iced diamond of marzipan, the celebrated calisson d'Aix.
The almond candies appear in the windows of the town's plentiful pastry and candy shops, sitting prettily on paper doilies, wrapped in ribboned cellophane sacks, or packaged in white boxes that echo the calisson's distinctive shape. Redolent of the sweet almonds and mellow Cavaillon melons that flourish in this part of France, the calisson d'Aix has been compared, with typical French eloquence, to the paintings of Cezanne and the music of Mozart, often part of the repertory of the city's renowned music festival.
Some of the most delectable almonds come from the South of France (though these days Provence no longer grows them abundantly, so almonds are imported from the Mediterranean basin). With the assistance of the Industrial Revolution, Aix became a candy center in the 1800's, and its numerous confiseries produced almond nougats, almond pralines and almonds dipped in white icing, called dragees. (A traditional gift for baptisms, dragees are often displayed in candy shops next to pairs of white baby booties.) But any candy maker can produce almond bars and marzipan. A marc deposee - a designation similar to an appellation controllee - assures that only those in Aix can make a true calisson. And every year, the city's dozen or so calissoniers do just that, producing more than 500 tons of the singular sweet to sell from their family-run shops or to ship overseas.
One of the oldest calissoniers is the exquisite A La Reine Jeanne, a white-and-gold jewelbox of a candy shop with marble floors and etched glass vitrines on the Cours Mirabeau. The store is named after the wife of King Rene, who, history records, served the first calisson back in 1454. It is run today by Joseph Brissac and his sisters, great-great-grandchildren of the firm's founders.
A La Reine Jeanne sells calissons under a crystal chandelier and makes them in its dark, cramped basement. The method has remained unchanged for five generations. A half-dozen rather rudimentary machines and three young apprentices do the work. A young man in rubber boots runs the almonds between two metal rollers that look like the ringers of an old washing machine to rid them of their brown husks, then shovels them into another machine to crush them. He next mixes the almonds with fruit confits of glazed Cavaillon melon and oranges in a huge metal pot with rotating blades. Then he scoops the mix into a deep metal pan. The golden paste gets another crushing and the addition of enough sugar to make the health-minded blanch as pale as the sweet almond paste.Continue reading the main story
Two young women in pink dresses and white caps and aprons then take over; their duty is to fashion the fruit-and-nut mixture into calissons. They push the paste with the palms of their hands into a form like a stencil with 36 tear-shaped holes backed with white rice paper. The candies used to be cut by hand, in crisscrosses, which resulted in their diamond shape. Age has softened the angles and the calisson is now rounded, more like a pointed oval a couple of inches long. After slathering the paste with royal icing, a mix of egg whites and sugar, the women lift trays of the boat-shaped sweetmeats into a huge oven, and bake for 20 minutes.
Calissons taste smoother and more cakelike than traditional marzipan. One variety is dipped in chocolate. Their flavor varies from house to house, as each calissonier carefully guards his own secret recipe. One will use a touch more melon, another a twist more orange. ''But I never use California almonds. They have no taste,'' said Jean-Pierre Borrelly, calissonier at the Confiserie Bremond Fils, a fixture on the Cours Mirabeau since 1830.
The right ingredients are essential. To make the true calisson d'Aix, Mr. Borrelly quotes Marcel Pagnol: ''You need one-third almonds, one-third fruit confits, one-third sugar, and a quarter savoir faire.''
Aix residents point out that the number three is part of local lore. The calisson not only has three ingredients, but three layers - icing, paste and rice paper. The city was founded in the year 123 by Caius Sextius Calvimus (three names) and originally called Aquae Sextiae Saluvium (three names). The designation was later changed to Aix-en-Provence (again, three names) or, simply, Aix (three letters). Calissons are served three times a year - on Sept. 1, Christmas and Easter - at Notre Dame de la Seds to commemorate the end of the great plague of 1630. With its bottom layer of rice, or azym, paper, the calisson replaces the host and is believed to guard against sudden death and contagion. The priest offers the sweetmeats from his chalice, repeating three times ''venite ad calicem'' (come to the chalice). The congregation replies, thrice, with the Provencal ''venes toui i calissoun'' (we are coming).
It's generally believed the religious rite gave the candy its name, but, as with most things, there are two sides to the story. The eminent Provencal literary figure, Frederic Mistral, insisted the calisson was named after the canissoun, a reeded platter on which confiseries display their confections. The almond treat has been muse to others in the arts over the years. The troubadour Claude Bruyes sang its praises back in the 16th century, and Madame de Sevigne devoted one of her letters to the calisson, thanking her daughter for sending a shipment to her in Paris.
Aix's calisson makers made present-day history last year by baking the world's largest calisson, a feat documented by the ''Guinness Book of World Records.'' Almost 500 pounds heavy, 12 feet long and 5 feet tall, the mammoth calisson was wheeled past a proud citizenry down the Cours Mirabeau, under its plane trees and past its three fountains, then devoured by all those desiring a taste of Provence in a bite. SATISFYING A SWEET TOOTH
Calissons d'Aix are sold in pastry and candy shops throughout Aix-en-Provence. Prices are the same: about $2.50 a 100 grams (less than a quarter-pound, or about four calissons), $3.50 for the chocolate variety. The candies will keep, refrigerated, for three months.
Three of the best-known establishments are located on the Central Cours Mirabeau:
A La Reine Jeanne (32 Cours Mirabeau, 13606 Aix-en-Provence; telephone 26 02 33). Open 8 A.M. to 12:30 P.M., 2 P.M. to 7 P.M. Closed Sundays and holidays.

What does everyone in the Commonwealth have in common?
How about a voice?
That's the premise behind an ambitious project that brought a quartet of Scottish artists to town a few weeks back.
Composer Pippa Murphy, dramaturge Martin O'Connor, filmmaker Iain Piercy and director Lissa Lorenzo were here as part of a collaboration between the Calgary Opera and Scottish Opera.
They were in town gathering research for The Friendship Oratorio, a unique performance piece for young people that explores the nature of friendship.
We hear a lot about interdisciplinary creations these days, but would you believe an international, interdisciplinary one? The Friendship Oratorio is a joint project, written by Scottish author Alexander McCall Smith, that will feature 100 young people from Botswana's No. 1 Ladies' Opera House, India's Tehelka Foundation, South Africa's Cape Town Opera, Australia's Queensland Opera, the New Zealand Opera, The Scottish Opera and Calgary Opera, who will perform it in Glasgow at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
(McCall-Smith, author of the bestselling novel series the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, founded the No. 1 Ladies' Opera House, to promote, and teach young aspiring musicians in Botswana, and debuted an adaptation of Macbeth there in 2009.)
"The thing that pulls it together is the topic," says Murphy, "which is friendship. You know, everyone experiences it — so it's a case of looking at how everyone experiences different rituals, how rituals work in different cultures, how you greet people, what kinds of different clapping children's games there are — all that sort of stuff."
The Canadian contingent includes a pair of Calgary Opera Emerging Artist alumnus, Jennifer Sproule and Andrew Love, as well as four members of the Cantare Children's Choir (and Verb Theatre co-artistic director Col Cseke, acting as a Calgary liaison of sorts).
The group has been working with children between five and 25, everywhere from small villages in Botswana to Calgary elementary schools.
All of which causes a bit of a flashback to Edmonton in 1978, when the city hosted the Commonwealth Games at almost the same time Canada was preoccupied with repatriating the constitution, leaving the impression that the Commonwealth was something real countries didn't aspire to belong to.
Three and a half decades after Edmonton, after an Internet revolution and a great globalization of life, things are different.
Now, real countries reach out and co-produce oratorios with one another.
If you want to see what the world has become, says dramaturge O'Connor, there's a perfect intersection he can recommend.
"We kept going through Dubai Airport," he says, "and every nationality (in the world) is in Dubai Airport. It was very interesting for us, because we started thinking about this idea of the Commonwealth — we're in a different age now.
"We're in an age of globalization, where everyone is sharing all these (common experiences) anyway."
What's interesting about the project is that not everyone shares in classical European-style opera, so The Friendship Oratorio will blend storytelling with cinema and different vocal styles to tell a story it hopes will become as universal as the old jingle about buying the world a Coke, only less hard sell.
"We're actually using film as the design basically," says Murphy. "It really opens up the music. It's exciting to work with film in a kind of cinematic way as well.
"We're using voices," she adds, "because obviously some of the countries, like Botswana and India, they're not opera singers — but there are musicians and we're using voices and text to underscore just traditional singing."
And once they get through that 2014 Glasgow world premiere, it'll be time to tour — to every one of the contributing nations, a journey the group estimates could take six or seven years.
Even if friendship is spelled differently in seven different countries, it's a pretty universal sentiment, says director Lissa Lorenzo.
"When you get down to discussing that notion of friendship, fundamentally people come back with the same sorts of responses," she says.
When all the piano prodigies get together at the piano prodigy old folks home to brag about how young they made their Carnegie Hall debuts, Jonathan Biss's will trump them all.
Turns out he made his while still in the womb.
That's because the pianist, who is performing next Tuesday night at the Rozsa Centre at the University of Calgary, comes from a family of professional musicians.
His grandmother was Raya Garbousova, a well-known cellist, and his mom was violist Miriam Fried, who happened to be six months pregnant with Jonathan when she performed a Mozart concerto with the Cleveland Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in 1980, according to 2011 New York Times article by Allan Kozinn.
While Mozart may have been Biss's womb music that night, the composer you can expect to hear the most of when he steps onto the stage at Rozsa Centre is Schumann.
It turns out Biss is as talented a writer as he is a pianist, and writes a well-regarded blog for National Public Radio in the U.S.
One of his passions is in re-examining what he says is the condescending and misguided bias against Schumann.
"I have heard the slightly apologetic tone people sometimes adopt when saying they love Schumann," he wrote in an October, 2012 blog at npr.org. "I have been told by more than one colleague that he is overrated. I have seen the eyes of one of my favourite contemporary composers roll when I told him how deeply I love Schumann's late songs. And perhaps worst of all, I have noticed that people blithely refer to many of his lesser-known pieces as "weak" without even bothering to listen to them first.
"In short," he adds, "there is more than a whiff of condescension in the public perception of Schumann. And because certain received wisdoms about him are so ingrained, they prevent people from investigating some of his richest, most affecting music."
(Kind of like the way Canadian music critics condescended towards Stompin' Tom Connors because he wrote songs about Canada, if you ask me).
By the way, Biss himself actually didn't make his own personal Carnegie Hall debut until 2011, when he was 30. He also didn't grow up playing in piano competitions, (bringing to mind the comment from 2012 Honens Piano Competition winner Pavel Kolesnikov, who doesn't much like them either.
"Competitions don't help you to improve," Kolesnikov said. "Piano is not sport."
Biss, who will be playing Schumann Tuesday night, performs at 7:30 p.m. at Rozsa Centre at the University of Calgary. Go to honens.com or call 403-299-0140

SALAH A-DIN PROVINCE, Iraq _ A faint boom echoed through the calm. For the soldiers of the 571st Sapper Company from Fort Lewis, Wash., it was unmistakable.
"That was a bomb, wasn't it?" asked one soldier riding in the lead of a six-vehicle convoy.
"Roger, that was a bomb," another replied.
Seconds later, the radio call verified it: A roadside explosive had detonated under the convoy's rear vehicle, a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle.
Radio chatter also confirmed that no one was injured.
It was first time in more than two months that the Fort Lewis-based company's 2nd Platoon had been hit.
What happened over the next two hours Wednesday night _ between the blast and the platoon's return to Joint Base Balad _ highlights the advances made in countering roadside bombs and the new rules under which U.S. troops are operating in Iraq.

Dr. Mundo Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Helloe people out there. I'll try my best in leaving a long description on why you should or should NOT use this build as i'm being a french and can barely speak english. Also, I know full well there are many builds for Dr.Mundo already and this similar build might even be posted as I haven't looked at every single one. This said, I trully beleive you should give it a try. This is the best TANK build (IMO). I've been playing LoL for months, and mundo has been my main from the very begening. I grown up with this char as time past by, and tried planty of builds. And this is what conclusion i came up with '' If you do not want to die, and furthermore, even jump in 5v1 and still survive, use this build '' your team will thanks ya. I don't know why this build works so much for me, all i can tell is that it does.
I'm not going to go into lengthy breakdowns of each of Mundo's abilities as you can just mouse over them above and see what they do. I will discuss how I use them.
Infected Cleaver:
This is your starter for ganks and even farming. Especially in a 3v3 game as it is a good harrasing spell. You aren't a mana champ so obviously, you want to use this as much as you can. Your healt regen will get your back.
Burning Agony:
This spell is in my opinion, your main one. Once you slowed them with Infected Cleaver, follow them around and hit them time to time. Remember, your healt regen's way above theirs, so is your healt. (When you have Sunfire cape in your inventory, just being around you hurst them pretty damn good) Also a great farming tool and a great extra bit of damage when trying to gank. Late game this will help clear minion waves pretty fast and although there are clearly better farmers this still makes you pretty quick at pushing lanes late game.
This is one Dr.Mundo's spell i would change if i had the possibility. But since i canno't, let's just consider it as a bonus. It may help.
Finally, sadism (yeah now you can breathe). This is your bread and butter gank/tank skill after level 6. It also makes you one of the best chasers/survivor in the game. If you get someone on the run, you win with Mr.dungo ( +Ghost ? omg they just can't escape )
The runes I have listed are what I am using. Cleary my build's all about Healt and Armor. With Doran's Shield as your first item, you already have 889 healt ( LVL 1 ) Some armor and healt regen, nice eh? Those will get you started pretty solid. You may be wondering why i choose Greater Glyph of Focus and Greater Quintessence of Focus. My answer to that would be... Dr.Mundo's skills are already low on cooldown. And with those you'll be able to slow enemies more often with Infected Cleaver, leaving them less chance to escape.
The masteries are set up to maximize the survability improving your Healt, Decreased damage dealth to your champion and its armor. Nothing in the top of the utility tree, other then Perseverence because I use it, seemed worth it.
Summoner Spells:
I use Ghost and Heal most of the time. My substitute would be flash for ghost.
For me it's all about mobility, need to escape/chase? Ghost is your best friend.
Heal + Sadism? You get the idea.
Depending on the other team's champions, you'll need to vary items from Magic res and Armor. But no matter who you are playing against, Guardian Angel/Sunfire Cape/Warmog's Armor are a must. You may want to swap Ninja Tabi for Mercury's Treads and Thornmail for Spirit Visage
That covers most aspects other then how I actually play him throughout the game. So let's get to it.
Good luck! I hope this works for you as well as it's working for me. Sure, there's probably better champions to do this with, but I like Dr.Mundo and his skill set so I use her when I can.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
The day I discovered you could glue fake hair to your eyelashes for a semi-permanent relationship, I threw my hands in the air and yelled, "where do I sign?!" Then, I set out to learn everything I could about them.
I first knew eyelash extensions (individual mink, silk, or synthetic lashes bonded to your natural lash with glue) were different from temporary strip or cluster lashes by researching the price point. The initial cost of eyelash extensions is in the hundreds. The application time is, on average, 150 minutes. They are pure heaven. I know this because I had them for a year straight. What I didn't know was that they were going to own me.
My sleep habits, skin care routine, and spending habits changed drastically. 365 days of lash extensions meant unanticipated sacrifices had to be made, not all of them during waking hours. My first lash technician advised that I sleep on my back or with my eyes off the pillow. That took some practice. In the mornings I had to comb them out with a spoolie brush and only apply eye makeup that is approved for the extensions. Right off the bat, I was told that my $2 liner would probably break down the bond and ruin my lashes.
Of course I tried applied it anyway, and the technician was right. If that isn't enough work, taking off my special makeup had to be done with lint free application wands and approved eye makeup remover.
I had to say goodbye to my expensive eye creams and allergy drops too as they also threatened to ruin my lashes. It sounds like a pain, but trust me, it's well worth it. I instantly felt prettier. My invisible doll lashes were replaced with the dark, long, and curled gorgeous lashes of my dreams. I didn't care that I had to take care of them.
The best part of having lash extensions is that I woke up every day needing minimal (and sometimes zero) makeup because my eyes were already so "done." Gone were the days of curling, priming, and applying layers of expensive mascara. I could still wear mascara if I wanted, (approved mascara of course) but I really didn't need it.
Who notices eyelashes? Everyone. I received more compliments on my makeup with eyelash extensions than I ever did with strip lashes or natural lashes. I also found they made my morning routine ten times easier. When your lashes are so glam, you really don't need makeup to run out and do things. For work I didn't need much more than foundation, blush, and brow pencil to look completely made up.
Then there's the dark side. It's twofold: maintenance and cost. Every two-to-three weeks, I needed to get a "fill" to maintain them. The average cost of a fill is $55, but if I waited too long it was higher. I could've stopped filling them at anytime and had what was remaining removed for a small fee, but once I was in it I couldn't let them go. So what was the grand total? I spent about $2000 for applications, gratuity, and approved makeup/tools in one year. Yes it was a large investment, and maybe even crazy, but I skipped other things to make it work. I found that if I didn't have daily Starbucks and bi-weekly manicures for that year, the cost was covered. It was worth every penny, caffeine withdrawal, and hangnail.
Throughout the year, I encountered the perils of not maintaining my lashes. I learned that if I didn't take the time to comb them in the morning, the chances of one lash in the inner corner turning into my eye while driving was likely. Not only is that a serious hazard, but it really freakin' hurts. It's not like getting a natural lash in your eye, it's blinding!
I had to see someone that is experienced and certified to fill and apply my lashes. I can't stress this enough: If you take the serious long-term extension plunge, find an experienced and safe technician. You know how there are those signs in nail salons that read "eyelash extensions for $35?" This usually means cluster lashes glued with nail glue. Do not fall into the trap! I've seen so many disasters up close of girls who have made this mistake.
I learned that if something seems too good to be true then it probably is, especially when it comes to lash extensions. I prefer technicians that use Xtreme Lash because I like the variety and quality of their lashes, plus your can use their website to find certified lash technicians in your area. I made a mistake once and once only when I got lashes for a "deal" while my technician was away. The entire service felt uncomfortable and I should have known something was wrong. It felt like the eye pad used to keep my bottom lashes taped down was sliding up into my eye. I had her adjust it a couple of times, but I still felt like something was irritating my eye. I didn't speak up and I ended up in the ER hours later with a scratched cornea. Turns out, she was new and not properly trained to apply them yet. I had to have what was left of my set taken off and was petrified to get them done again for years. No discount is worth going blind!
In hindsight, I had an overall great experience with eyelash extensions. The way they looked and made me feel outweighed the little annoyances and maintenance cost. When I took them off, it took time for my natural lashes to grow back in at full strength, but they eventually did. My lashes without extensions were a sad comparison to the year before but with enough mascara, it was possible to move on (even if only temporarily). I would absolutely get them again under these three stipulations:
1) Make sure they are actually eyelash extensions.
2) Make sure the technician is experienced and certified.
3) Be committed to care for them properly.
Have you had lash extensions? How much of this has rung true for you? Share your pictures and comments below!

Best treatment would be to find allergens causing symptoms and to avoid it...over the counter antihistaminics will be beneficial to you...Consult nearest allergy clinic for skin prick test and other modalities of investigations in which they will test you for various allergens and find out to what you are allergic...and they treat you with diluted doses of that allergen to desensitise your body to that allergen...good luck.

Blood Bag
Blood bags are used to restore another player's health to full by giving them a transfusion. They are most commonly found in hospitals; usually inside of medical boxes, but can also be found in medical military tents and in medical boxes that may or may not spawn by a crashed helicopter.
Blood bags cannot be self-administered; they can only be used on other players. Transfusions are given to another player by choosing the "Give Blood Transfusion" option on their mouse wheel menu. This option will only be available when looking at a player with less than 12,000 blood and only if the blood bag is in your active inventory and not your backpack. As of 22.214.171.124, when giving a transfusion to a player, 1,000 blood is transferred every second of the process instead of it being instantaneous as it was in previous updates. If the player receiving the blood moves during the process, the transfusion will stop and leave said player with what blood he was transferred before he/she moved.
When a blood transfusion is given to another player, the player who performed the transfusion will have their humanity raised by 250. This means they are frequently used by bandits to raise their humanity in order to obtain the survivor skin, or the hero skin. While this can take time, this unfortunately means that heroes and survivors may easily be bandits in "disguise".
you can not revive a player with this if he dead he dead best used for major blood loss as it fill your blood lvl cooked meat give you 800 health best used if injured Tins give you 200 health best used for snack you can not administer the blood pack to your self just other players
its ironic finding on of these on single player,makes me sad
lately i have had the problem that you wont be able to use one unless you eat or drink something first
is it actualy possible to "revive" someone with this if he/she is down?
Very helpfull if you're in a group and don't have any cooked meat.
Blood Bag is most commonly found in or near Hospitals, they are used to Restore Blood to a player by a Transfusion. As to date you can only Receive a Blood Transfusion by another Player, the provider must have the Blood Bag in their Primary Inventory then Mouse over the receiver and Scroll Wheel to the option Give Blood Transfusion and Left Click. If the option does not appear adjust your range from the player until it shows up.

We will have another garden this summer. We need to look at the seed packages and see when we need to start the seeds. Last year we saved two kinds of tomato seeds. We will try them to see if they sprout. This is our first try saving seeds. We have a small yard with a swing set in it so we have a small garden. We used to have three chickens so they had a large corner of the yard. Our yard is really too small for chickens so we gave them to a friend. They were named Millie, Hattie and Nettie. The kids called them Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. We miss them. We still have the chicken coop just in case we can get some chickens later.
Our church services are broadcast live on the web. Please visit us at www.cedarcreek.tv . The service times are : Saturday 5:15pm and 7:00pm and Sunday 9:00am, 10:45 am and 12:30pm
January 2014 Bible verse: "There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12 New Living Translation

Papalote Mexican Grill
recommendation by goose
Great taco and burrito place, a tad more expensive than some of the others, but they seem to have a lot more options and I think the food seems to be prepared with a little more care. Great salsas. They also offer great options for vegetarians including a fake chorizo (soyrizo) and tofu mole burritos. Amazing! They also have some pretty popular fish tacos.

The majority of French politicians have been united in condemning French Closer magazine for publishing claims that President Hollande was having an affair with actress Julie Gayet.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told a television programme that privacy "is something we've preserved in France. It's not the case in all countries. In the US for example it all happens in the public arena. I think, perhaps I am a little old fashioned, in that private life is private."
Mr Hollande has never married but has been in a long term relationship with Valerie Trierweiler, considered as France's First Lady, since breaking up with former presidential hopeful Segolène Royal, with whom he has four children.
Ms Trierweiler was admitted to hospital on the same day details of the affair were published.

This report analyzes four key concepts undergirding the Pakistan Army's strategic culture and considers the implications for U.S. and Indian efforts to manage the threat from Pakistan.
Pakistan remains a staunchly revisionist state that both continues to assert territorial equities in Kashmir and seeks to resist India's rise in the international system. Its revisionism motivated it to start wars in 1947–48, 1965, and 1999, all of which it failed to win, as well as to sustain a proxy war in Kashmir, the most recent campaign of which began in 1989. Pakistan has adopted several strategies to manage its security environment, including ideological tools, the pursuit of strategic depth in Afghanistan, and the use of proxy fighters under its expanding nuclear umbrella. Pakistan continues to pursue these strategies even though they are very unlikely to succeed and have imposed a high cost on the state. Much of its behavior, however, can be explained by the strategic culture of the Pakistan Army. This culture is characterized by four beliefs: (1) that Pakistan is an insecure and incomplete state, (2) that Afghanistan is a source of instability, (3) that India rejects the two-nation theory and seeks to dominate or destroy Pakistan, and (4) that India is a regional hegemon that must be resisted. The Pakistan Army controls most levers of power with respect to national security and foreign policy, as well as domestic policies that influence these domains. Moreover, this strategic culture is enduring and unlikely to change, as will be demonstrated by a study of Pakistani military publications.
