sample the album:
"Although the compositional style of Lou Harrison (1917-2003) evolved and matured during his long and productive life, he held fast to a number of basic aesthetic principles: a devotion to beautiful melody; the foregrounding of rhythm, melody, and counterpoint over harmony; a preference for just-intonation tuning systems; and the integration of influences from diverse world musics. On the present disc, which includes works from 1939 to 1987, all of these characteristics are in evidence.
Despite its early origin, First Concerto for Flute and Percussion (1939) has remained one of Harrison's most frequently performed and recorded works. The ballet Solstice (1950) is written for octet: three treble instruments (flute, oboe, trumpet), three bass instruments (two cellos and string bass), and two keyboards (celesta and tack-piano). Harrison found that by combining the tack-piano with the celesta he could create a sound that resembled that of an Indonesian gamelan, which he first encountered in 1939. The complex rhythms and exuberant melodies of gamelan became a major source of inspiration. The gamelanish sounds in Solstice can be heard most prominently in the fourth movement ("Earth's Invitation"), when the solo flute line is accompanied by celesta, tack-piano, and pitched percussion created by the bass player, who strikes the strings of his instrument with drum sticks below the bridge.
The text for Strict Songs (1955, revised 1992), modeled on Navajo ritual song, is of Harrison's own invention. Harrison's interest in gamelan had led him to explore the possibilities of pentatonic modes. Each of the four movements of Strict Songs is based on a different pentatonic mode. All intervals are tuned to exact mathematical proportions, rather than to the impure compromise-intervals of present-day equal-temperament. The fixed-pitch instruments in the ensemble (piano and harp) are retuned to produce non-beating intervals; the strings and trombones match these pitches by ear. The effect of the retuning is a rich palette of intervals, far more varied in size than those in equal temperament (where all intervals of a particular type are the same).
Ariadne (1987) draws inspiration from the music of India. Harrison's music combines Indian and Western influences. The opening movement, "Ariadne Abandoned," functions like an alap-an introductory piece that introduces the mode and spirit of the work. In the second movement, "The Triumph of Ariadne and Dionysos," Harrison employs a compositional principle related to the Indian tala, a complex repeating rhythmic pattern.'-New World

My focus is in the treatment and long term outcomes of children treated for cancer. My specific focus is in quantifying what complications are seen in survivors of childhood cancer. Specifically, I am interested in trying to identify genetic markers that may identify those who are at risk of a specific complication. We are currently in the process of identifying genes that may explain why 20-50% of children receiving cisplatin have irreversible hearing loss. We have established a database of all adverse events in children treated through the oncology department at BC Children's Hospital. I am also interested in using linked databases to look at hospital utilization in long term survivors. Finally, I am interested in developing clinical trials in pediatric oncology both locally, as well as through the Children's Oncology Group (COG).
Through a partnership with Drs Michael Hayden and Bruce Carleton, and a 2 year grant from the C17 Research Network, we have made this study available to 17 hospitals.

"Or do you guys have another one like this that is a bit larger?" she began to say again, and when I looked up at her face, found out she had her eyes solely fixed on the front of my trousers! She was certainly surprised to see I was spotting a firm erection out of the blue.
"Not…really ma" I managed to say after swallowing hard. I could even feel the beads of perspiration appearing on my forehead already.
"Oh dear. Then please help me fit in this one. I can't afford not to buy it" she was already partly backing me again and facing the mirror.
Did I just hear 'help me fit in'? My Joystick markedly twitched in response! "I…did you…I mean, what did-you-say ma?" I heard my terrible nervous mouth ask. I was openly shaking.
"Help me fit in the bra. If my breasts can fit into it, then I am buying it." she pressed down her succulent boobies as she mentioned 'my breasts can fit into it'. Meanwhile I was wondering how I was supposed to make an obviously undersized brassiere contain all those breasts I was seeing. But then, given this is was just few days to Xmas, and the price tag on the brassier we were talking about there was quite tangible, then I had little alternatives.
"Ok ma…" followed my response even though I still didn't know where to start actually.
After getting myself to stand directly behind her, I began fiddling with the hook behind. I still can't explain how she even managed to get the thing hooked-in in the first place. But then, I was only getting started when she began complaining all of a sudden.
"There is nothing to do there boy. Please bring your hand to the front." she said a bit rashly while nudging back a bit and thus pressing into my hard Joystick with her large bum unknowingly! I practically jumped! "Try to get the sides in first. If they can get in, then it will make it easier for you."
I swallowed hard and only managed to nod my head. When I looked up to the mirror in front of us, I met her reflection looking at the floor. Meanwhile, my hands were now coming around to her front and how ridiculous we both looked in the mirror with my arms almost totally disappearing under the sides of her magnificent Bosom! She had nudged herself a bit forward, giving my erection a bit of respite. Barely a second later, she got a phone call. Her phone was already on the dresser in front of us and the mirror so she just stretched an arm to pick it up thus forcing my hand further into her bustline!
I licked my lips at once. Sniffing hard and praying the plenty beads of perspiration in my face do not trickle into my eyes. I was stuck like Fork, literarily. And I could comfortably hear My heart pounding so so loudly! I still was fidgeting, and her strong admittedly intoxicating cologne was in itself driving me crazier! As she spoke in her dialect, waving an arm here and there, I was perched to her back like some kid would her mum! It was just awkward if not ridiculous how we looked in the mirror! Consequently, just after she dropped her phone and tried leaning up again, her butt inevitably pressed into my hard-on for yet a second time! And of course, I jerked once again!
"You no dey push the thing in again?" she asked in mixed Pidgin.
"I…I..am doing…it…" I could barely even breathe as I struggled to move my erection away from her backside as much as I could. It was even quite hard to tell if she hasn't been feeling all the hard prodding from my Joystick given she barely reacted on each occasion. I had now grabbed the side of her left boob and began attempting to get it into the left cup of the bra. And she responded by slightly lifting her arm, to give me more room.
To Be Continued…
"Or do you guys have another one like this that is a bit larger?" she began to say again, and when I looked up at her face, found out she had her eyes solely fixed on the front of my trousers! She was certainly surprised to see I was spotting a firm erection out of the blue.

So you've got a public-facing web site built on SharePoint 2010, and you'd like to use the surveys to poll anonymous users. How do you go about doing that? Well there's a number of different things you need to do.
The first step of course is to create your survey. Go ahead and create a new survey (typically from the View All Site Content page). Setup your questions and defaults, and make sure everything looks good from that perspective.
You would think that your next step is to setup permission. Actually it isn't. Before you can do that, you need to turn off the ViewFormPagesLockDown hidden feature that is turned on by default on publishing sites. Now don't worry, we're not going to leave it off, as that opens a big security hole on your publishing sites. We just need to turn it off temporarily. To do that, run the following command on your farm.
For those of you that didn't get a chance to get out to SharePoint Saturday in Mississauga in December, I repeated the Extranet session in a webinar today. I've posted a PDF version of the deck. Look for the video shortly.
You can check out the other presentations and videos at http://bit.ly/spstoweb-assets. For details on the webinar series go to http://www.sharepointsaturday.org/toronto/default.aspx.
As we see more and more public web sites being launched on SharePoint 2010, mobile support is becoming a hot issue on those sites. Depending on your approach, you may want to create a simplified version of your site targeted to mobile devices, or you may just want your site to render as normal on mobile devices.
The first approach of a targeted site I'll save for a later date. We've done this for one of the sites we built for CAMH at www.problemgambling.ca. If you visit the site on a mobile device, you'll see a significantly simplified site targeted to mobile. You can still reach the full site, but the default is the mobile version.
In the second approach you just want your site to render on mobile devices. In both scenarios actually, SharePoint tries to outsmart you to your detriment. It detects a mobile device, and tries to redirect you to SharePoint's mobile version. This really only applies to lists and libraries on collaboration sites, and typically gives a 401 Unauthorized on a public site.

BERRYVILLE, Ark. – Among the 300-plus shooters competing for the 2014 IDPA U.S. National Championship this September will be a select group of women from the fast growing national women's program, A Girl & A Gun Women's Shooting League.
A Girl & A Gun is the ladies-only organization established by women shooters for women shooters for the pistol, rifle and shotgun sports. Founded in February of 2011 in Austin, Texas, A Girl & A Gun today has more than 2,500 members in 67 chapters across 23 states, making it the fastest growing women's shooting organization.
In partnership with the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA), A Girl & A Gun held an introductory IDPA postal competition for its members with 12 women randomly selected to represent the organization at IDPA's 2014 U.S. National Championship being held September 9-13 at the U.S. Shooting Academy in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The all-ladies squad of AG&AG members will be coached through the match by Team Comp-Tac's Randi Rogers, the reigning Women's National Champion.
"I have been in the IDPA family for eight years and A Girl and A Gun was created as a resource to share my love of the shooting sports with as many women as possible. To sponsor the first all-ladies squad gives me a huge sense of accomplishment and pride," said Julianna Crowder, president of A Girl & A Gun.
Representing A Girl & A Gun in the 2014 IDPA U.S. Nationals will be Andrea Lawrence of Missouri, Heidi Darst, Robin Keating, Victoria Kogan, Memarie Lawrence, Tina Maldonado, Christy Ross and Ashley West of Texas, Jennie Van Tuyl and Tiffany Venters of Washington and Renee Krawiec and Wendy Troutman of Wyoming.
"IDPA embraces different organizations to form symbiotic relationships. When A Girl & A Gun Founder Julianna Crowder approached me with the idea of exposing her organization to IDPA, I thought it was a great way to introduce the sport to more women and I hope that we can develop more relationships like this one," said Joyce Wilson, executive director of IDPA.
For more information on A Girl & A Gun, or to find a club near you, visit www.AGirlAndAGunClub.com. For more information on IDPA, or to join the nearly 24,000 IDPA members competing each week, visit www.IDPA.com.
You can further connect with the IDPA community through IDPA's social media, such as @OfficialIDPA on Twitter and ShootIDPA on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Tumblr, or check for regular news and updates on the organization's DOWN ZERO Blog.

Global Scale NodesSustained atmospheric, physical, biogeochemical, ecological, and seafloor observations at high latitudes are required to understand critical influences on the global ocean-atmosphere system.
The OOI's design process has identified four strategic high-latitude sites to implement global scale nodes to collect this multidisciplinary time-series data:
- Southern Ocean, southwest of Chile (55°S, 90°W)
- Irminger Sea, southeast of Greenland (60°N, 39°W)
- Argentine Basin, South Atlantic (42°S, 42°W)
- Station Papa, North Pacific (50° N, 145°W)
Coastal Scale NodesThe OOI's Coastal Scale Nodes are designed to provide sustained, but adaptable, access to complex coastal systems. The initial stage of the coastal observatory consists of two elements:
- A long-term Endurance Array in the Eastern Pacific
- A relocatable Pioneer Array in the Western Atlantic

Whisper it (in case we upset the big boys) but Slam Dunk might just be the best music festival in the UK right now. Its eclectic mix of punk, rock, ska, metal, hardcore and pop-punk (with a touch of dance thrown in) means that there's something for nearly everybody and it's growing yearly, despite humble beginnings. Slam Dunk South, held at the Forum in Hatfield, is a regular feature on the calendar now and with over 40 acts this year, it's a pretty big one too. Plus, the sun even decided to show its face; was there anything not to enjoy about Slam Dunk this year?
The ferocious Heart Of A Coward kick off proceedings on the outdoors Monster Energy stage, pummelling the crowd with a hardcore tinged metal assault. They draw a decent sized crowd for their spot on the bill and stand-out anthem 'Shade' induces the day's first circle pits. They've also got a bit of a soft spot for classic dance routines apparently, as vocalist Jamie Graham asks the crowd to put their arms around each other and unite for a "heavy metal can-can". Quite.
Modern Baseball might also have an affection for similar stunts but they hide it pretty well if so, preferring to simply wow their crowd over on the Atticus stage with their emotionally charged pop-punk. It's their first time at Slam Dunk and they're welcomed with open arms (aka sing-alongs, crowd surfing and a packed room). They seem a touch nervous and a little in awe of the whole thing but the reception to songs like 'Your Graduation' and 'The Weekend' will no doubt ease whatever fears they're carrying around.
Save Your Breath follow and their crowd is noticeably smaller than their American counterparts. If it bothers them, they never let it show. The huge chorus of 'Harrow Road' was built for stages like this and the arrival of The Blackout's Sean Smith for 'Stay Young' helps lend some extra showmanship to proceedings. Predictably, closer 'Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy' receives the biggest response as the front rows clamber over each other for a chance to sing into Kristian Richards' microphone.
Moving away from the Atticus for a moment, the massive stage of the Forum makes Gnarwolves look unbelievably tiny. They're quite visibly shocked to be here too but the mass sing-alongs to opener 'Melody Has Big Plans' prove that they're doing something right. Sadly, the short but sweet nature of Gnarwolves' material makes their set fly by unbelievably quick; hopefully their forthcoming album will push them onto bigger (and longer) things.
Back over at the Atticus stage, State Champs have only played a handful of shows in the UK but already they're looking like seasoned veterans. Derek Discanio possesses some of the best pipes in pop-punk right now and he also knows how to hold an audience in the palm of his hand. Of course, his job is made much easier by a boisterous crowd that shout back every word of 'Simple Existence' before making the security team work harder than they will all day with countless bodies surfing over the barriers to 'Elevated'. On the vast majority of bills, this performance would be the definitive highlight.
Not today though. To be fair to State Champs, Neck Deep blow absolutely everybody out of the water today. Opener 'Losing Teeth' turns the crowd into a sea of flailing arms and nodding heads; 'Over And Over' inspires absolute mayhem; and the sing-alongs to 'A Part Of Me' are deafening. The band might jokingly write themselves off as the "shit center" of today's pop-punk sandwich but after yet another phenomenal performance, their self-deprecation is fooling no-one; these guys are easily the most exciting pop-punk band in the world right now.
Following that is a hard task but Real Friends are up to it. Songs full of memorable lyrics and catchy melodies are always going to become live hits and Real Friends back them up by giving everything they can on stage today. Dan Lambton doesn't immediately strike you as an engaging frontman but his wild hair and passionate nature make him one all the same. The bittersweet leanings of 'I've Given Up On You' sound amazing and closer 'Late Nights In My Car' is the best song about late night driving you're ever likely to hear. To paraphrase their own shirt, pop-punk may suck but Real Friends definitely do not.
Letlive's reputation for a phenomenal live show means that there's plenty of people awaiting their arrival at the Monster Energy stage. Remarkably, frontman Jason Aalon Butler is unusually reserved… For all of about two seconds. The true exhilaration of a Letlive show can only be experienced by the front few rows as fists, sweat and mics go flying everywhere. Still, the whole audience can enjoy Jason pulling down one of the giant Monster branded flags to swing above the stage like some kind of patriotic salute. He spends the majority of his time anywhere but the stage, leaving his note perfect band members to keep the show plugging along. Some might look on and wonder what the hell is happening but seeing Jason screaming the lines of 'Virgin Dirt' from on top of a picnic table shows he's as passionate as he is bizarre. In short: awesome.
Finally, Kids In Glass Houses wrap the day up with their final ever set for Slam Dunk South as the band bids farewell this November. They're determined to go out with a bang though by playing debut album Smart Casual in full. It means that they treat their crowd to little heard songs like 'Pillow Talk' and 'Lovely Bones' which are still as catchy and energetic as they were back in 2008. Of course, the best reactions are reserved for 'Saturday' and 'Give Me What I Want'; the crowd's willingness to shout along to every line visibly impresses the band. A final salvo of four songs from follow-up album Dirt make this a hit-packed set, despite airing nothing from their most recent albums Peace and In Gold Blood. The band could simply have relied on nostalgia to carry them through this set but they still pack a punch live and it's genuinely upsetting that they're calling time. Still, today's set makes that final November tour a must see for anybody interested in Kids In Glass Houses; they're in red-hot form going into it.

Posing as interested patients, National Post reporters contacted representatives of four different private weight-loss clinics, reporting a normal-range BMI of 25 or 26, but also a history of fluctuating into obese territory and a desire to prevent serious weight gain from returning.
Representatives at Toronto-based CIBO Clinic said their ice hot cool gel palsu surgeon would "definitely not" operate on someone with a BMI of 25, though he might make an exception for a 29. Vancouver's False Creek Health Centre said no one with a BMI of under 30 would qualify, adding, "It's done for medical purposes, not just to lose weight."
A representative with Toronto's Surgical Weight Loss Centre said its cut-off is usually 30, and operating on someone slimmer "could be a difficulty," but added the surgeon wouldn't necessarily give an "outright 'no.' "
Slimband consultants also said their surgeons have to approve any patient with a BMI of under 30, but did not suggest it would be a significant obstacle. One said it was "not a good procedure" for people with eating disorders, while those with a "healthy BMI" would consult with the surgeon, adding that the clinic has operated on patients who needed to lose as little as 10 pounds, and added "it doesn't matter whether you have 20 pounds or 200 pounds to lose; this thing works." She said Slimband had even treated a triathlete: "When she's off-season, she gains 20 pounds and that's big for a slim pomegranate professional athlete." She also described Slimband's post-operative care as "the most comprehensive" in the industry, including doctors, nurses, dieticians and support staff, with a 24-hour help line.Viac článkov tohto autora. >

Hello everyone,
I have a Picoscope 2204 Series that my Macbook Pro 2011 cannot found. I have the last versions of the Beta Software of november 2015 but still, the device cannot be found by the Software.
I can see the Device ID and the Predictor Id in the System Information:
Product ID : 0x1007
Vendor ID : 0x0ce9
Version : 0.03
Speed : until 480 Mb/s
Place : 0xfa130000 / 5
But when I start dmesg or something to track the logs of the kernel, nothing appears. This device is simply not recognized by the System.
Is my device broken? Is there any other way to debug it and try to communicate with it?
I would gladly contribute to help Picoscope in the development of the software.

With slight drops in both vacancies and monthly rates, the local rental market is sluggish but stable, the San Diego County Apartment Association reported in its twice-yearly survey of landlords and apartment managers.
The average rent for all unit types countywide was $1,188, a slight decrease from the $1,201 reported in the spring survey, but a year-over-year increase of 1.7 percent.
The countywide vacancy rate on all unit types was 3.6 percent, a decrease of 1.2 percent from the spring survey and an increase of 0.2 percent year over year.
"Last spring we saw an increase in vacancies due to an increase in the supply of foreclosed homes being rented," said Robert Pinnegar, the association's executive director. "Now it appears that those units are being absorbed and vacancy rates are returning to where they were a year ago."
The report echoed findings released in October by the RealFacts research firm. That survey, which focused on large complexes of 100 or more units, found that rental and vacancy rates were essentially flat during the third quarter.
The apartment association's survey, which is scheduled for release today, concluded that the declining cost of residential real estate is not prompting a significant shift of renters into homeownership. In October, the median home price in the county was $323,500, a 37 percent decline from $517,500, the peak of the recent housing boom in November 2005.
Kelly Cunningham, an economist at the San Diego Institute for Policy Research, said the credit crunch is preventing many renters from taking advantage of low prices on foreclosure homes. That's good news for landlords, but demand for rentals is being undercut by a number of other factors.
The ability of landlords and renters to connect online at Web sites such as Craigslist has created what Pinnegar calls a shadow rental market. The Internet has made it easier for people to rent out condominiums, investment homes and spare rooms, creating more competition for apartment complexes.
In addition, the declining economy has led more people to take in roommates who otherwise might rent their own units. Alan Nevin, director of economic research at San Diego-based MarketPointe Realty Advisors, said the county no longer has a strong influx of new residents competing for rentals.
"It relates to the decline in the job market," Nevin said. "It is just a function of not enough new blood. That is what keeps the apartment market going – new folks coming into the county."
In addition to studying rates and vacancies, the association looked at which types of rental units are most in demand. One-bedroom units reported the lowest vacancies in the recent survey, followed by two-bedroom units, units with three bedrooms or more and studio units.
Survey results were mathematically weighted to take into account the dominance of one-and two-bedroom units in the marketplace. Of the 37,000 units surveyed, 88 percent were one-or two-bedroom rentals.

In this fascinating and entertaining second volume, Christopher Simon Sykes explores the life and work of Britain's most popular living artist. David Hockney is one of the most influential and best-loved artists of the twentieth century. His career has spanned and epitomized the art movements of the past five decades. Picking up Hockney's story in 1975, this book finds him flitting between Notting Hill and California, where he took inspiration for the swimming pool series of paintings; creating acclaimed set designs for operas around the world; and embracing emerging technologies—the Polaroid camera and fax machine in the seventies and eighties and, most recently, the iPad. Hockney's boundless energy extends to his personal life too, and this volume illuminates the glamorous circles he moves in, as well as his sometimes turbulent relationships.Christopher Simon Sykes has been granted exclusive and unprecedented access to Hockney's paintings, notebooks, and diaries, and a great number of them are reproduced here. Featuring interviews with family, friends, and Hockney himself, this is a lively and revelatory account of an acclaimed artist and an extraordinary man.

Spurs 2-2 Fulham U18s - John hails 'outstanding game'
11 November 2013|Tottenham Hotspur
John McDermott hailed "an outstanding game of youth football" following our Under-18s' 2-2 draw with Fulham at the weekend.
Goals from Josh Onomah and Shayon Harrison saw us recover from a 1-0 first half deficit at the Training Centre, before Fulham restored parity from the spot.
There were chances at both ends, and Academy Manager John was impressed with what he saw.
"Both teams went for it, both hit the post, there were penalty appeals – I thought it was an outstanding game of youth football," he said.
"Both teams had some really, really good players. Our 11 players tested every one of their 11 and vice versa.
"We could have scored, they could have scored. We missed some good chances and their keeper made some really good saves.
"I enjoyed watching the game and I enjoyed being part of it."
John was also pleased with the contribution of Will Miller, who replaced the equally impressive Harry Winks in the heart of our midfield at half-time.
Will played his part in the build-up to both our goals and although he was also responsible for conceding the penalty from which the visitors levelled the score, John hailed the young midfielder's performance.
"Will has had a bit of a knee problem this week so that's why he only played for 45 minutes. We've been working quite a lot on Will being more dogged in his defending. He gave the penalty away as well, but he was trying to do what he's been asked to do but just made a bit of an error on it.
"I was really pleased with Harry Winks, who's on the comeback trail, as well. I thought he was stylish and effective."

Chad Goodridge, Daniel Breaker, Colman Domingo, Stew and Rebecca Naomi Jones in the new Broadway musical Passing Strange
Broadway's newest musical rocks
Directed by Annie Dorsen
Belasco Theater
111 W. 44th Street
By Scott Harrah
"Passing Strange," the new rock musical that recently transferred to Broadway after a successful run at the Public Theater, does not break the same theatrical ground as "Spring Awakening" and "Rent," because it lacks the infectious scores and compelling stories that made those shows instant classics for the "twenty-something" crowd. It's ultra-hip, features a live rock band onstage, and the plot centers on the romantic glory of discontented youth. The play often lacks thematic focus, however, and its songs are ear-splittingly shrill, as well as uninspired.
This is more of a rock concert with a serviceable narrative than a full-fledged Broadway musical. What worked so well as a musical fringe-theater piece at the Public is not as powerful on Broadway, with such a hefty ticket price. In essence, "Passing Strange" is a rock and roll travelogue about a young African-American man who takes us on a journey from South Central L.A. to Amsterdam, Berlin, and back. The narrator, Stew, stands peering out at the audience through dark sunglasses as he tells a tale about a man simply named "Youth" (played with aplomb by Daniel Breaker). He is constantly rebelling against his churchgoing mother (the remarkable Elsa Davis, giving the show's most poignant performance). The teenager hates going to churchhe's more interested in Zen Buddhism than Christianityand balks at nearly everything his mother asks him to do. After much prodding from his mother, along with the flirtations of an attractive choirgirl (the spunky De'Adre Aziza), Youth reluctantly joins the church choir
The show's opening scenes, set in Los Angeles, are the most dramatically satisfying and possess remarkable moments of musical theater. The song "Baptist Fashion Show," with Elsa Davis and her circle of hat-wearing, chic church ladies, features the sort of razzle-dazzle choreography and sassy lyrics that are surefire crowd-pleasers. Colman Domingo, as the fey, flamboyant choir director Franklin, is an absolute delight, rattling off one hilariously bitchy bon mot after another.
The youngster finds his calling in music and goes on a journey of self-discovery, heading to Europe to find himself, because he believes L.A. is "death row with palm trees." He first travels to Amsterdam and befriends a group of pot-smoking hippies, all of whom are interested in his gifts as a musician, impressed by his repertoire of blues, jazz, and rock. The beautiful Marianna (a dual role played by De'Adre Aziza) is so smitten with the guy she gives him the keys to her apartment and they start a whirlwind relationship of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Tunes such as "Keys," "We Just Had Sex" and "Stoned" are typical 1970s-style rock, but all three lack the distinction and lyrical verve that elevated songs from "Spring Awakening" and "Rent" to anthems. To those under 25, the twangy guitars and syncopated percussion may sound hip, but for most Broadway audiences, the songs will simply sound like ambient noise devoid of melody. Perhaps that is why Stew, the narrator, mentions at one point that he doesn't know how to write show tunes. "Passing Strange" is certainly not trying to be a Rodgers and Hammerstein-style show or an Andrew Lloyd Weber rock opera.
Things start unraveling during the second act as the young man breaks off his relationship with Marianna and moves to Berlin. He hangs out with Hugo (Chad Goodridge), a militant essayist, Mr. Venus (Colman Domingo), a performance artist, and filmmaker Sudabey (De'Andre Aziza once again), a woman who makes "porno" films showing businessmen making deals (please, don't ask). Between the affected German accents, nonsensical psychobabble about politics and capitalismand high-decibel songs such as "Surface" and "Come Down Now"it's hard for one to know what's really happening onstage at this point. But what follows is fairly predictable. Without giving away too much of the plot, suffice it to say that the boy from California realizes that his mother's homilies about life weren't so far-fetched after all, and Berlin is much more of a "death row" than L.A. ever will be.
What manages to sustain one's interest throughout "Passing Strange" is the solid narrative about the mother and son's relationship. One of the show's final scenesdepicting the two on an emotional long-distance phone callis heartbreaking indeed. "Passing Strange" dares to take Broadway out of the proverbial box with its edginess, and luckily there is enough good acting, especially from Daniel Breaker and Elsa Davis, to give the show some veritable substance.

Preemptive Task650 answer - "Full wipe and reflash, now F*ck off" *jthatch12*
1.) If ANYONE asks a question that's been answered in the FAQ or OP, DO NOT RESPOND TO THEIR POST. (It should hopefully force them to search)
2.) If ANYONE trolls this thread. DO NOT RESPOND. Me and Red5 will take care of it. (Leaves less cleanup for Red5 and we keep a clean thread)
3.) Leave personal opinions of each other out of this thread or do that stuff via PM.
4.) Have fun in this thread. As most of you know I like to joke around and keep things light. Not everything can be development related. It takes the fun out of these forums.
If we can all just do these simple things I'm sure this thread will get back to where in needs to be. More people including myself will actually like coming into this thread.

Jessica Chastain set to star in The Division
- Bang Showbiz
- 27 July 2016
Jessica Chastain is in talks to star opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in 'The Division' - an adaptation of Tom Clancy's shooter video game
Jessica Chastain is in negotiations to join the cast of 'The Division'.
The 39-year-old 'Interstellar' star could soon be joining Jake Gyllenhaal in Ubisoft Motion Pictures' adaptation of its own hit video game which came out in March.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, twice Oscar nominated actress Chastain is currently in talks with filmmakers about taking on the main female role in the movie, which is based on the third-person shooter set in dystopian New York City in which the population has been wiped out and law and order have broken down following a lethal smallpox epidemic.
The player - an agent of the Strategic Homeland Division which is where the film gets its name 'The Division' - is searching for the origins of the outbreak.
Gyllenhaal has teamed up with Ubisoft's Gerard Guillemot to produce the film and it will be packaged before it's taken to the studios - a process which proved a success for the company which set up 'Assassin's Creed' starring Michael Fassbender at Fox and Regency.
Ubisoft Motion Pictures is also bringing it's stealth game series 'Splinter Cell' to the big screen with starring Tom Hardy as the male lead.
Originating as a video game, 'The Division' was playable on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It was developed and published by Ubisoft along with Red Storm Entertainment.
Chastain will next be seen in Europacorp's gun rights drama 'Miss Sloane', due to be released on December 9. And she will star opposite Daniel Bruhl in World War II drama 'The Zookeeper's Wife'.
And to top off her hectic schedule, Chastain will play the lead in Aaron Sorkin's adaptation of Hollywood gambling drama 'Molly's Game' with Idris Elba.

College offers both more freedom and more responsibility than high school, making it better for some students and worse for others. College courses are typically more engaging but simultaneously more difficult, while socialization is more mature and stimulating than in high school.Continue Reading
One of the most notable differences between high school and college is that students are far more in control of their course selections. While students have much greater freedom to pursue academic interests, college is also far more self-directed than high school, which can make it difficult for those who lack prioritization and time-management skills. For most students, there are no parents around to wake them up on time or encourage them to do their homework. Taking responsibility for all the various social and academic obligations can be a difficult transition for many new college students.
In spite of difficulties, college is also a time for new experiences, many of which shape the overall course of a student?s life. Much of the learning in college comes outside of the classroom, as students deal with roommates, learn to take care of themselves and balance academics and socialization. Most students also find that their peers in college are more diverse and intellectually stimulating. Students typically feel freer to express themselves in college, which leads to a more rewarding social experience overall.Learn more about Colleges & Universities

Plans are moving ahead for a copper-nickel mine in northeastern Minnesota, a type of mining new to the state, but in other parts of the world similar mines are polluting rivers and lakes.
The old LTV mine north of Aurora, on the eastern edge of Minnesota's Iron Range, is a bleak, windswept place, ringed by piles of waste rock. They look like flat-topped pyramids, about as high as a 20-story building. Eight years ago, the mine closed and the company went bankrupt, and now the hills are covered with grasses and young trees.
LaTisha Gietzen watched as workers cleaned up the land where the old pellet plant has been torn down. Gietzen is Vice President for Public, Environmental, and Governmental Affairs at PolyMet Mining.
PolyMet plans to use some of the 60-year-old buildings, and the expensive machinery in them, to coax copper, nickel and other metals far more valuable than taconite out of the rock.
"It's a huge asset for the state to have," Gietzen said. "To be able to reuse this existing infrastructure is an excellent opportunity for all of us."
PolyMet bought the buildings, the railroad track, and the electric substation. Six miles to the northeast, PolyMet wants to dig in a 4,300-acre tract of forested land for copper, nickel, and the precious metals platinum, palladium, gold, and cobalt.
The U.S. Forest Service owns that tract of land, but PolyMet owns the minerals beneath the surface. The two are negotiating a land exchange, in which PolyMet would add comparable acreage to the Superior National Forest in exchange for the piece with high mineral value.
Geologists have known for years that those metals are there, locked up in a formation called the Duluth Complex. Now, the rise of robust economies in the developing world means there's profit to be made in extracting and purifying them. Half a dozen other exploration companies have staked out claims along the geological formation.
The minerals to be mined are used for everything from batteries to catalytic converters to artificial joints.
But this kind of mining is different from iron or taconite mining. The valuable minerals are part of sulfide rock. When that rock is brought to the surface and exposed to air and water, the sulfur in the rock links with hydrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid.
That means water that runs off the piles of waste rock can be so acidic that nothing can live in the streams or wetlands where the water flows. The acid water can also pull heavy metals such as arsenic and manganese out of the ground it flows over, further contaminating the water.
The U.S. EPA calls acid rock drainage an "enormous environmental problem," and said the industry has only developed "rudimentary" techniques to control it.
At the PolyMet site, LaTisha Gietzen said the mine is designed to keep a lot of the sulfur out of the environment. She said PolyMet will actually use some of the sulfur as fuel.
"It's important for us to collect the sulfur, because it's tied to the metal, we use the sulfur as a fuel for the process and collect and produce the metals," Gietzen said.
But there will be a lot of waste rock. PolyMet plans to process 32,000 tons of ore a day. The waste will be piled up in hills covering several hundred acres next to the mine pit.
Gietzen said, even though most of the rock has very low amounts of sulfur in it, the company will put all the waste rock on synthetic liners and capture the water running off the piles, and treat the water to remove the heavy metals.
"And that's only part of the treatment," she said. "You do that while you're in operation, and then you put a heavy-duty cover over it to eliminate the water coming in contact with the rock."
It's hard to picture a liner that could withstand the pressure and sharp edges of tons and tons of rock.
"But it's just like a landfill," Gietzen said. "You drive heavy machinery and push garbage into landfills that are similar to what we're doing with our stockpiles."
Still, PolyMet predicts that some amount of acidified water will escape and enter the groundwater system that feeds wetlands and rivers for miles around, all the way to Lake Superior.
The company said that water will meet state standards for drinking water.
But Len Anderson, a retired biology teacher, said a drinking water standard for humans doesn't mean much to the fish. Anderson has made it his life's work to clean up the St. Louis River. His canoeing maps detail the watershed that could be affected by the PolyMet mine -- from the Partridge River and the Embarrass River, 100 miles down the St. Louis River to Lake Superior.
These waters have a lot of mercury in them. Elemental mercury, the kind you played with in high school chemistry lab, doesn't cause much of a problem. But bacteria living in the water can convert that mercury to an organic form, called methyl mercury, and that's when it gets into the fish. Fish advisories warn that children and pregnant women shouldn't eat certain kinds of fish in the St. Louis River and Lake Superior.
Len Anderson said the sulfate in the acidified water is just what the bacteria need to convert more mercury to the methyl mercury form.
"If you give them that extra shot of sulfate, you're going to get an extra shot of methylation," Anderson said. "And that's why the higher the dose upstream, the more damage it does downstream."
Sulfate is also bad for wild rice. Anderson said in his canoe trips he's seen healthy stands of wild rice upstream from the old LTV mine, and stunted growth below it. He said that would only get worse with the higher sulfate runoff from a copper-nickel mine.
Minnesota has never had a copper-nickel mine, but the state does have a little experience with the kinds of problems they create.
Just north of the area where PolyMet plans to mine, there's a place where LTV used to mine taconite. It's right on the edge of the same Duluth complex formation that PolyMet wants to exploit. LTV unearthed some sulfide rock and pushed it aside as waste. For decades, the Dunka mine has been leaching acidified water and toxic metals. LTV's bankruptcy has complicated efforts to clean it up.
Len Anderson and other critics say that's just the kind of experience they don't want to see repeated.
"Across the world this type of mining creates a legacy of acid mine drainage and heavy metal seepages," Anderson said. "This company has no experience, and the state of Minnesota has none."
He said the DNR's Lands and Minerals division is used to taconite operations, which pose a far smaller threat to the environment than sulfide mining.
"Lands and Minerals are gung-ho for metallic sulfide mining, but they have no experience except for Dunka, which they have screwed up royally," he said.
The Dunka mine was developed in the early 1960s, before stringent rules were in place. Since then, the current owner has capped the waste rock with plastic liners, and built wetlands to treat the water running off the piles. The DNR says the wetlands do pretty well at capturing most of the contamination.
The Environmental Impact Statement is being written by the Minnesota DNR and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Several cooperating agencies have commented on various drafts of the document.
The federal Environmental Protection Agency has said it would like more information about financial assurance -- that's a requirement that PolyMet set aside money to cover any clean-up needed after the mine closes. The EPA also pointed out that the study only documents mitigation for about two-thirds of the damage to wetlands that would occur with the mine.
Scientists for the Fond du Lac, Grand Portage, and Bois Fort bands of Ojibwe have expressed concerns about the impact of possible sulfate pollution on wild rice. They also question how long the water might need to be contained and treated after the mine closes.
The DNR said details about the financial assurance requirement and mine closure won't be known until later -- when PolyMet applies for permits to begin mining.
The DNR said the Environmental Impact Statement is not designed to figure out whether the mine can be done without harming the environment. Rather, it lays out the possible harms, and outlines some ways to prevent or lessen them.
The draft of the environmental review of the project is expected Friday.
The public will have a chance to comment on the study. The normal comment period is 45 days, but many groups have requested more time.
Editor's note: Because of editing/transcription errors, the mine's processing capacity was incorrect, and a paragraph was omitted from an earlier version of this story.

January Sales Total 29,018, Best January Since 1974; Much-Anticipated Game Day Ad Released
January Sales Total 29,018, Best January Since 1974; Much-Anticipated Game Day Ad Released
HERNDON, VA--(Marketwire - Feb 1, 2013) -
Volkswagen of America, Inc. (VWoA) today reported 29,018 units sold in January, a 6.7 percent increase over prior year sales. The company achieved 29 consecutive months of year-over-year growth and the best January since 1974. Over the last three years, the company has more than doubled its annual sales volume, demonstrating its long-term growth strategy, Mach 18, is gaining momentum in the U.S. market.
"With all the buzz that comes with the North American International Auto Show, the release of our Super Bowl advertisement, 'Get Happy,' and a full line-up of new and refreshed vehicles, Volkswagen is off to a solid start in 2013," said Jonathan Browning, President and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. "While the economic conditions continue to be somewhat uncertain, we expect Volkswagen to achieve continued growth and to outpace the industry this year."
Volkswagen's 60-second Super Bowl XLVII advertisement stays true to the brand's storytelling heritage of "human stories, told simply." It builds on the upbeat themes of recent ads, "Smiles," released in September 2012, and last year's Super Bowl spot, "The Dog Strikes Back," named a leading 2012 ad on YouTube by Google. In 2011, VW released "The Force" Super Bowl ad, which received more than 56 million YouTube hits to date, and was recently named one of the best ads in the past 24 years by USA Today.
Last week, Volkswagen teased its 2013 Game Day spot with "Sunny Side," featuring well-known YouTube sensations, and renowned reggae artist Jimmy Cliff singing "The Partridge Family's" theme, "C'mon, Get Happy."
The Chattanooga-built Passat continues to deliver strong results with 8,856 units sold, marking its best January ever.
Jetta sedan remains the volume leader for Volkswagen with sales totaling 9,089. With the addition of the Jetta Turbo Hybrid, Volkswagen now offers seven cars that can deliver more than 40 mpg on the highway -- a feat no other automaker can match in the United States.
Recently recognized as "best in class vehicle in the $20,000 - $25,000 price range" in Kiplinger's Personal Finance 2013 buyer's guide, the Jetta TDI demonstrates its strong consumer appeal and class-leading fuel economy in the compact sedan segment.
The Beetle and Beetle Convertible sold a combined 2,232 units. The Golf saw a 24.9 percent increase in January sales with 1,532 units delivered. A new North American produced Golf will soon be added to line up. Production of the seventh generation Golf "A7" will commence the first quarter of 2014 at the Volkswagen de México manufacturing facility in Puebla, Mexico. This latest move reinforces the Volkswagen's commitment to the North American market, where it will invest more than $5 billion in the next three years.
Sport Utility Vehicles, Tiguan and Touareg reported sales of 2,114 and 962 units, respectively.
Volkswagen's high-mileage, clean diesel TDI models account for 19 percent of sales in January, a 14.7 percent increase over the prior year.

Definitely I am a loyal person. If you put your trust in me, i won't let you down. I love parties but I also love to stay home and read a good book with a hot chocolate, watch a movie or just enjoy the nature.
I love talking, I enjoy listening to a interesting conversation. I am a good listener.
I consider myself as a good friend.
I love movies and tv series. That way I can learn different languages or different cultures. So, I can combine both of my biggest passions: World Cultures and tv shows.
I read, not as much as I would love to, but I do.
I love to hang out with my friends and spend time with my family.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Back in 2005, on Deecember, my dad and I made a trip to Canada. I was 14 and I hadn't ever seen snowing, so when we arrived everything was covered and I just wanted to run and cath it untill I got freezed. I couldn't. Anyway, 3 or 4 days later, I freezed my feet in Quebec... That trip was magical, and made me fall in love with Canada.
