Date of birth
Previous Clubs: West Ham United, Notts County (loan), Swindon Town (loan), Dagenham & Redbridge (loan), Notts County (loan), Oxford United (loan), Oldham Athletic, America de Cali, Bristol Rovers
The talented winger is a new signing for the Valiants this summer where he joins the squad from Bristol Rovers. Born in Cali, Colombia; Montano moved to London at a young age where he joined West Ham United's academy. His first professional contract was signed in 2010, where he was then loaned to Notts County for some first-team experience.
The 25-year old enjoyed a successful spell at Meadow Lane where he scored four goals in just a matter of months, alerting the attention of Paulo Di Canio's Swindon Town. After a short spell there, his footballing career looked to have only just begun as he went on to join the likes of Dagenham & Redbridge, Notts County and Oxford United on loan.
A spell with Oldham Athletic was followed by a few games back in Colombia where he featured for America de Cali in the Categoria Primera B, helping them to a solid 5th place finish. His seven appearances in the Copa Colombia saw him score one goal during his time away, before returning to England where he featured for Bristol Rovers from 2015-2017.
Montano was snapped up by gaffer, Michael Brown, this summer and has already showed promising signs. His lightning pace and power has alerted the attention of the Port Vale faithful and looks soon to be a fan favourite.

The reptile area isn't labelled which is disappointing as kids like to be informed and if you are not there for the talk which we weren't because by the time we got back round through the crowds again it was over then you have to guess.
The audiovisual area is not set up yet and neither is the games area. One member of staff said he didn't even know what it was suppose to be.
It was lovely to see the seals in the hospital bay but there weren't any outside. It was fun though to watch the otters.

Start/car parking - Llangoed
Llangoed, resting a couple of miles north of Henllys, is the start point for this historical outing.
Free parking at the car park opposite the pub. Food available.
Points of interest include the lighthouse at Perch Rock, Puffin Island, Romanesque architecture at the islands most complete medieval monastery, Penmon Priory – (Augustinian foundation), and an ancient dovecote too.
From the car park rejoin the road and turn right, cross the road bridge and immediately turn left toward the pub's car park, bearing left along a waymarked beck side path.
Follow the clear path through the Llangoed Local Nature Reserve. At the tarmac lane, turn right and follow it uphill to the former school -1896, noting separate entrances for boys and girls/infants!
Turn left and, immediately beyond the church, enter a lane on the left, then pass through a gate.
Continue alongside the church wall, then aim towards a yellow waymark sited in the centre of the meadow. Note the dramatic skyline of Snowdonia, behind and to the left.
From the waymark veer slightly right, walking beside a mound on the right, formerly the site of an early settlement.
Locate an exit gate at the top corner of the field. Cross the road to enter a driveway. A signposted exit on the right soon appears. Cross the field, towards the houses. The exit through a gate.
Walk towards the houses and veer left towards "Gwelyr yn ys" when the driveways divide. A waymark indicates a left turn (along an enclosed path).
Pass through a "kissing gate" on the left, then where the path curves, pass through another gate and veer right, following an obvious path, to emerge onto a surfaced driveway. Turn left – downhill.
When the driveway curves (right) into a garden, walk straight ahead, passing through a gate into a small field. Keep close to the right hand boundary and locate another gate situated at the field corner.
Cross the next field to an exit gate near the house, and turn left, for a dozen paces along its drive.
Reaching the house, swing right, and pass through another gate, giving access to open fields.
Maintain the approach line across the fields, then enter a brief enclosed section close to a house, before turning right, along the driveway. At the road turn left.
Follow the road to its conclusion (ignore the option of Penmon). Maintain the previous line across two expansive fields, with sea views appearing and St. Orme's Head, Llandudno.
Keep close to the wall on the right.
At the first stile continue to follow the wall to the right and exit. Exit at a stile situated alongside a wide gate, then turn left along the edge of a field bordered with sloe bearing blackthorn bushes.
At the road turn right, then left after 25 yds leading into an enclosed track. An obvious path leads to the lighthouse and Puffin Island and Pilot Cafe, www.pilothousecafe.com.
The coastguard cottages were erected in 1839.
The walk continues back up the road until arriving at the ancient dovecote, and the ruins of Penmon Priory.
Immediately beyond the priory leave the road on the right, leading to stone steps. After descending steps turn left and join a track leading past quarries.
Ignore a turning to the right leading to a ruined building. Follow the indication of waymarks across the field, towards electricity poles and some houses.
Exit the field (steps) and turn left. Pass through Penmon.
At a Junction turn right and 100 yards later enter the lane on the left. Turn sharp left through a kissing gate.
Shortly pass through a single gate (double gates either side) and cross the field keeping to the right, walking downhill towards an exit gate at the bottom right hand corner of the field, join the narrowest of tarmac lanes.
Turn right along the lane and, just before a sharp right bend, turn left onto a fenced path waymarked to the castle. As the boardwalk ends, fork left up a waymarked grassy incline.
Follow the path around Aberlleiniog Castle to the interpretive panels at the entrance. Go up if you wish and, returning to the entrance boardwalk, turn right and follow the path along a boardwalk down to the river.
At the junction of paths, turn right to follow the clear path through the woodland. Where the path meets a concrete track, turn right and follow it back to the car park in Llangoed.

Newell Brands Announces Completion of
Newell Rubbermaid and Jarden Corporation Combination
The combination creates $16 billion consumer goods company with a portfolio of leading brands that compete in large, growing and unconsolidated global markets.
On April 15, 2016 Newell Brands Inc. (NYSE: NWL) was pleased to announce the successful completion of the combination of Newell Rubbermaid and Jarden Corporation. (Jarden Corporation purchased The Waddington Group in 2015 of which WNA INC. is a division). This transaction creates a $16 billion global consumer goods company with a strong portfolio of leading brands, including Paper Mate®, Sharpie®, Dymo®, EXPO®, Parker®, Elmer's®, Coleman®, Jostens®, Marmot®, Rawlings®, Irwin®, Lenox®, Oster®, Sunbeam®, FoodSaver®, Mr. Coffee®, Rubbermaid Commercial Products®, Graco®, Baby Jogger®, NUK®, Calphalon®, Rubbermaid®, Contigo®, First Alert®, The Waddington Group and Yankee Candle®. The company has been renamed Newell Brands Inc. and will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange with ticker symbol NWL.
We are embracing an exciting new chapter in our history as it is an exciting next step in our Company's history. The combined entities are incredibly complementary. There is no doubt that this merger represents a BOLD step into the future. As Newell Brands we will achieve a scale that enables an optimized platform to drive value creation; and bring together advantaged capabilities in innovation, brand building, design, and eCommerce with which to deliver accelerated growth.
The combination of our two great organizations creates a powerhouse consumer goods company and sets up a very exciting long-term growth and value creation story," said Michael Polk, Newell Brands Chief Executive Officer. "I am honored to have the opportunity to lead Newell Brands and the development of our business. We expect Newell Brands to unlock far greater upside than either company could have on their own. Our immediate focus will be to deliver our 2016 financial objectives, start the work of integrating the two companies and develop the long term corporate and portfolio strategy that will guide the choices we make and the realization of the company's full potential."

Anxiety Disorders Eating Disorders

Philosophy and Approaches
Our treatment philosophy is client-centered and wellness-based. We believe each person's history and circumstance is unique, and that true wellness requires a thorough understanding of the sociocultural realities that both constrain and animate a person's life. We work together with clients to understand these issues in conjunction with the internal psychological processes through which clients experience them and give them meaning.
While our professionals are grounded in the most up-to-date research and practice developments in psychiatry and related disciplines, we believe that our clients are the first and best experts on their own experiences and that resources for healing ultimately reside within them.

How do I post a new thread here?
My wife left me. No, not like that, she went on vacation with a girlfriend. They are spending a week in Hawaii together, both sans husband. I am playing the role of single dad this past week. Every once in a while, it is useful to walk in each other's shoes (or high heels) because it is only then do we truly appreciate what it must be like for the other. Too often when we simulate/imagine the other's circumstances or feelings we project our own biases on to that simulation and thus taint the results.Posted by Ich at March 18, 2004 08:18 PM

The Imperial is a seaside hotel in Mombasa, Kenya
It was founded in 1906
It was managed by a single trader
Its reputation quickly grew and stayed that way up to the 1950's
Case Study - The Imperial
Due to continuous political unrest in the region, the hotel has changed hands many times, since investors would panic and sell the hotel.
Ownership Problems
In 1989, GP ( an international investment group) purchased the hotel. Since GP was thought of as a symbol of modern business at the time, the company was in a good public light.
The company resolved to place an on-site manager to deal with daily business and report annually on profits.
Global Properties Purchase
GP selected Martin Kimathi as manager of the hotel. His heritage and Westernization appeared to be an excellent mix; precisely what the company wanted. However, Martin's selection proved to bring problems, aside from the state of the hotel itself.
New Management
The long-term problem in the Imperial was that bookings were steadily decreasing due to new, better hotels appearing.
On a short-term basis, the company was having problems managing its monthly budgets due to lack of accuracy in calculating costs and stock.
Problems in the Imperial
Martin has a problem with other employees, specifically with Susan Chapman, who resented not having received the management post. Her actions were causing problems amongst the employees, who went on strike.
Human Resource issues
Martin was forced to make a decision. He had to decide on what would be the next step for Imperial long term decisions.
The Options
Total rebuild of the facilities, for being more competitive to the new luxury hotel.
Option 1
Brian A. Ramirez
Carlos Cerdeira
Option 3
Go for a strategic alliance with the famous safari KenSafar, which would offer a conjoint vacations, including facilities from the hotel and the safari.
IB Questions
1. Compare Martin's and Susan's Leadership styles and:
a) suggest how Susan can use flexible working practices to better her relationship with other employees
b) Suggest ways in which Martin can pacify the employees with incentives.
2. Analyze the circumstances of Susan's rejection and suggest whether fair recruiting practices were used or not.
3. Discuss whether GP's hands-off style of management could cause more problems in the future (due to GP not knowing what is going on until the annual report arrives.
Option 2
Change the nature of the hotel transforming the hotel rooms into self-contained apartments, with small kitchens.

The complicated design of schools
Rethinking the role of architecture in classroom design could better a student's future
The purpose of the school is to create learning spaces where teachers can share knowledge with students and pupils fill their metaphorical schoolbag with understanding for adulthood, helping them navigate the employment waters of the future.
Given the importance of preparing students for the challenges of tomorrow and the variety of users in the institution, both the vast age differences among students and between teachers, school design can be a complicated and demanding architectural project.
Demanding more
If we are to compare the classroom of the early 1900s to classrooms of the early 2010s, one struggles to see the fundamental changes made to the architecture of the room.
While schools have incorporated new technology into the classroom, there has been little change to how students function in the space itself. Students will follow a variety of subjects in the same classroom for subjects that don't necessarily have any similarities. The ambiguousness of the "soft classroom" can affect how students learn and behave.
The idea of a "strong classroom" tries to create rooms that clearly communicate to students what subject they are about to study. This is achieved by including relevant artifacts and tools for the lesson into the classroom, turning the teaching spaces into subject laboratories and workshops.
Beginning with the "What"
Like all architectural projects, understanding what the space will be used for and how it will impact the occupants is crucial.
In recent years, a philosophy of education that is built around strong classroom classification asks architects to rethink how we design the classroom – and perhaps it is time.
If schools should prepare students for the expectations of the future – creative thinking, design skills, collaboration – then we need to build schools where the architectural space facilitates students acquiring the skills needed for tomorrow.

High-Voltage Suspense and State-of-the-Art Big Band Jazz From Darcy James Argue's Secret Society Uptown Saturday Night
The suspense was relentless throughout Darcy James Argue's Secret Society's sold-out concert Saturday night at the Miller Theatre. Although a couple of numbers on the bill had genuinely visceral suspense narratives, there was no central mystery theme. That's just the way Argue writes. What a thrill!
Throughout the show, four of the composer/conductor's favorite tropes jumped out over and over again: artful variations on simple, acerbic hooks; circular phrases that widened and sometimes contracted; unexpected pairings between instruments, and high/low contrasts that often took on a sinister quality. Gil Evans did a lot of that, but drawing on vintage swing; Argue does that with just as much symphonic sweep, but more acidic harmonies.
Obviously, with a eighteen-piece big band, there was a whole lot more to the night than just that. They opened the first of their two marathon sets with Phobos, a mighty showstopper from the group's debut album Infernal Machines, inspired by the moon of Mars which will someday either crash into the planet or shatter under the force of gravity. Drummer Jon Wikan's first ominously shuffling notes of the night introduced bassist Matt Clohesy's grim, gothic riffs that bookended the piece, guitarist Sebastian Noelle's smoldering chords looming behind the steady interweave of brass and reeds. Tenor saxophonist John Ellis' lyrical solo proved to be a red herring.
They'd revisit that catchy, cinematic ominousness with a pulsing take of Transit, seemingly slower and more portentous than the album version, to close the first set with a mighty, cold ending that nobody but the band could see coming.
Blow-Out Prevention, a shout-out to Argue's late influence Bob Brookmeyer, juxtaposed bright but astringent brass harmonies against a shifting, lustrous backdrop. All In, a tribute to the late, longtime Secret Society mainstay and "trumpet guru" Laurie Frink, got a Nadje Noordhuis trumpet solo which offered somber homage to her old bandmate, then took a triumphantly spiraling turn and eventually wound down against pianist Adam Birnbaum's stately, Satie-esque minimalism.
Codebreaker, a salute to Alan Turing, bristled with spy-movie twists and turns but never went over the edge into John Barry-style menace. The second set was a performance of Argue's recent, mammoth, labyrinthine Tensile Curves, inspired by Ellington's Crescendo and Diminuendo in Blue. The bandleader, who was in rare form as emcee, explained that he'd decided to assemble the piece – a commission requiring a full forty minutes of music – as a study in subtle rhythmic decelerations. And much as it was a clinic in the use of that effect, it also was packed with innumerable dynamic shifts, a wryly squirrelly Sam Sadigursky clarinet solo, a much longer and eventually wildly churning one from trombonist Ryan Keberle, and a characteristically translucent one from trumpeter Adam O'Farrill – among other things.
Animatedly loopy phrases filtered throughout the ensemble, from a snide, nagging introductory theme through a final comfortable touchdown on the runway. Let's hope this mighty tour de force makes it to the web – and maybe even a vinyl record – sooner than later. A towering performance for the rest of the crew, including but not limited to saxophonists Dave Pietro and Rob Wilkerson, baritone saxophonist Carl Maraghi, trumpeters Seneca Black, Matt Holman and David Smith, trombonists Mike Fahie, Jacob Garchik and George Flynn.
The next show at the Miller Theatre is on Feb 13 at 6 PM with the Mivos Quartet playing new works by Marisol Jimenez, Jeffrey Mumford, their own Victor Lowrie and Mariel Roberts. It's one of the wildly popular free concerts here. Get there close to when the doors open at 5:30 and there might be free beer or wine; show up later and there probably won't be.
A Sardonically Sinister Evening with Darcy James Argue's Secret Society
It was a grim, grey day, sticky with global warming-era humidity. No sinister force could have conjured a more appropriate atmosphere for a concert inspired by conspiracy theories. As the eighteen-piece Darcy James Argue's Secret Society assembled onstage this evening at National Sawdust for the album release show for their new one, Real Enemies, the trumpeters clustered around the piano, back to the audience. What on earth were they conspiring about?
The opened the show by playing into the piano: in other words, blowing into an echo chamber. The hint of natural reverb enhanced the squirrelly exchange of brass phrases, and the visual matched the music. This wasn't the chattering groupthink that would recur several times, to mighty effect, throughout the concert, a performance of the new album in its entirety. Rather, this seemed to be a portrait of a paranoid personality, or personalities, all lost in their own universes and echoing only themselves. On album, the effect is unsettling; live, it was nothing short of comedic. But nobody in the crowd laughed.
The group's previous album, Brooklyn Babylon, blended rat-a-tat Balkan brass, sardonically loopy prog-rock riffage, even more savage faux-pageantry and a blustery unease. This new album is closer to Stravinsky or Shostakovich in its darkest moments, which predominate what's essentially a contiguous thirteen-part suite best experienced as a whole. The project, drawing on Kathryn Olmsted's 2009 book Real Enemies, first took shape as a multimedia collaboration between composer/conductor Argue, writer/director Isaac Butler and filmmaker Peter Nigrini at BAM's Next Wave Festival in the fall of 2015. This performance also featured voiceovers and samples – triggered by Argue from the podium – including some pretty killer quotes from George W. Bush ("We can't wait any longer!" twice, from the days leading up to the invasion of Iraq), JFK and others. The suite wound up with the band swaying along to a long narration examining the paranoid mindset, actor James Urbaniak's steady cadences echoing from the speakers overhead. Hardly an easy task for the group to stay locked in, but they .swung along with it
This is an amazing band. Brooklyn Babylon is punctuated by a series of miniatures which pair unusual combinations of instruments; Argue also pairs off instruments in this series of compositions, but more traditionally. The most spine-tingling one was early on, trombonist Ryan Keberle's frenetic, deep-blues spirals up against Nadje Noordhuis' resonant, angst-tinged flugelhorn. At the end, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen spun and dipped while tenor saxophonist Dave Pietro channeled his own sputtering galaxy, one of many caustically illustrative moments. And a deep-space duet between Adam Birnbaum – switching from grand piano to an echoey electric model – alongside guitarist Sebastian Noelle's spare, austere lines was only slightly less cold and cynical.
Argue is an amazing composer. Withering humor was everywhere: in the constant, flittingly conversational motives, in subtle shifts from balminess to icy, Morricone-esque menace, and in the choice of samples, a couple of them seemingly tweaked from the album for extra irony. Lights and darks, highs and lows hung and swung in the balance as the composer – rocking a sharp suit and a sharp, short new haircut, maybe for extra sarcasm – calmly directed the ensemble through them. Maria Schneider may be the consensus choice as the standard of the world for big band composition, and she's earned it (and has a political sensibility no less perceptive than Argue's), but Argue's work is just as strong. And this concert reaffirmed that he's got a world-class crew to play it. This edition of the band included but wasn't limited to most of the players on the album: multi-reedmen Lucas Pino, Peter Hess, Rob Wilkerson and Carl Maraghi; trumpeters Seneca Black, Jonathan Powell and Jason Palmer; trombonists Mike Fahie and Jennifer Wharton; multi-bassist Matt Clohesy and dynamic drummer Jon Wikan.
Darcy James Argue's Secret Society plays the album in its entirety at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts at 465 Huntington Ave. on Oct 7 at 7:30 PM; general admission is $25.
Winter Jazzfest 2014: The Best One Yet, At Least From a Saturday Perspective
The lure of Winter Jazzfest over the last decade or so has been the potential for serious bang for the buck: a marathon of jazz festival stars, cult heroes and heroines jammed into two nights on the Bleecker Street strip. Like the best jazz improvisation, Winter Jazzfest can be transcendent. By the same token, recent years have had many maddening moments, lines outside the clubs gowing to ridiculous proportions, especially as crowds armed with ostensibly all-access passes reached critical mass during the Saturday portion of the festival.
Solution: move the bigger draws to bigger venues. Darcy James Argue's Secret Society sure to sell out a Saturday night gig (which they did, no surprise)? Move 'em to the expansive, sonically exquisite confines of Subculture. Henry Threadgill leading a new ensemble through an American premiere? No problem. Stick 'em in Judson Church, a comfortable stone's throw from the West 4th Street subway. This may have been a long overdue move on the part of the festival's producers, but it couldn't have been more successful. By midnight, a couple of venues were filled to capacity, but although crowds at the other spaces were strong, there was plenty of room for everybody who was still up for more music.
Argue's big band threatened to upstage everything else on Saturday's bill. How does the composer/conductor keep so much suspense and intensity going when his changes tend to be so static and often so far between? With endlessly surprising, constantly shifting voices, subtle rhythmic variations and a voracious approach to blending genres: the foundations of his songs may go on for what seems forever, but there are a million tunes wafting overhead. They opened with All In, a steadily strolling, spicily brassy homage to the late trumpeter Laurie Frink, its centerpiece being a thoughtfully energetic Nadje Noordhuis trumpet solo. From there they dove into the opening suite from the ensemble's latest album Brooklyn Babylon (rated #1 for the year at this blog's Best Albums of 2013 page). The whole group reminded how much fun, not to mention aptitude, they have for Balkan music, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen wowing the crowd with her blazing chromatics. From there, Adam Birnbaum's creepy music box piano kicked off the jackhammer optimism of The Neighborhood, roaring boisterousness juxtaposed with uneasily flitting motives from the reeds. Argue brought that disquiet front and center by fast-forwarding to the brooding Coney Island; they closed with a pastoral Levon Helm dedication, Last Waltz for Levon, featuring a moody, wistful Ryan Keberle trombone solo and a similarly bittersweet duet for Sebastian Noelle's strummed acoustic guitar and Matt Clohesy's bass..
Over at Judson Church, the crowd gathered slowly in anticipation of Threadgill's set and was treated to a magically crepuscular one from pianist Sylvie Courvoisier and violinist Mark Feldman, the duo alternating compositions. He built to a bracing series of glissandos and trills on his opening number over her hypnotic, harplike inside-the-piano brushings; she followed with a resonant, lingering piece that rose to a creepy altered boogie of sorts. They gave a Feldman suite based on the Orpheus/Eurydice myth a dynamic intensity, brooding sostenuto up against angst-fueled swells and ebbs and ended on a quieter, more suspenseful note with a Courvoisier work.
Threadgill was on the bill to conduct the American premiere of his Butch Morris tribute Old Locks and Irregular Verbs with his new Ensemble Double Up. This turned out to be very much like Morris at the top of his game. Rather than playing purely improvised music, Morris' larger ensembles would develop variations on a theme or two, sometimes utilizing a couple of pages of composition, and this suite had that kind of ring. Pianist Jason Moran opened with a mournfully elegaic, spaciously funereal, bell-like introduction that rose from stygian depths toward the kind of blues/gospel allusions that Morris liked to employ. From there Threadgill introduced a classically-tinged, anticipatory theme that Jose Davila's tuba propelled upward in methodical stairstepping waves in tandem with Craig Weinrib's trap drums, Curtis Macdonald and Roman Filiu's alto saxes blustery and atmospheric in turn over cellist Christopher Hoffman's uneasy ambience. The group followed the long first movement with two shorter variations, the first opening with dancing, bubbly reeds and fluid upper-register piano, the second kicking off with glimmering resonance from pianist David Virelles, moving toward a distant overture of sorts and a bittersweetly triumphant if somewhat muted coda. It made for an aptly elegant sendoff for a guy who did so much, so elegantly, for largescale improvisation.
Over in the boomy sonics of Vanderbilt Hall at NYU Law School, Mostly Other People Do The Killing had some of the crowd doubled over laughing and some of the older attendees scratching their heads. New York's funniest, most entertaining band in any style of music, never mind jazz, have a new album out, Red Hot, which parodies every 20s hot jazz trope ever ground into shellac, and the group aired out several of those tunes with characteristically unstoppable verve. What makes MOPDtK so funny is that they really know their source material. For fifteen-second intervals, it was easy to get into toe-tapping mood…but then the band would do something wry or droll or ridiculous and throw a wrench in the works. Trumpeter Peter Evans built an echoey, reverb-infused vortex with endless swirls of circular breathing early on, which bass trombonist David Taylor took to vastly greater deep-space extremes later in the set.
Pianist Ron Stabinsky got plenty of laughs out of a solo that was mostly pregnant pauses, then got people howling with a medley of licks that began in the jazz pantheon but then spanned from Billy Joel to Foreigner…and then to Bach and Beethoven. Bassist/bandleader Moppa Elliott, drummer Kevin Shea and guest guitarist Jon Lundbom seemed preoccupied with getting the brief period-perfect bits back on track while Evans and alto saxophonist Jon Irabagon (who'd just played tenor and bass clarinet for Argue) engaged in characteristically snide, mealymouthed banter. It wouldn't be fair to give away the rest of the jokes that continued throughout compositions with titles like Seabrook. Power. Plant. (named after frequent MOPDtK guest Brandon Seabrook's band as well as three towns in Pennsylvania), the Shickshinny Shimmy, Turkey Foot Corner and King of Prussia.
Eyebone, guitarist Nels Cline's eclectically assaultive, swirling power trio with drummer Jim Black and pianist Teddy Klausner was next and made a similarly energetic alternative to Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog, who were scheduled to hit around the same time at the church up the block. They opened with jarringly percolating, fleetingly leaping phrases from Cline's loop pedals and then hit a deep-water ominousness, went into atmospherics and then a riff-driven, metalish interlude. Klausner followed a Cline descent into messy, muddy terrain with one of his own, then the band brought it up with a roar, ending their set with an aggressiveness that made a great segue with Elliott Sharp's Orchestra Carbon.
E-Sharp didn't even play guitar in this set, but his tenor sax work mirrors what he does on the frets. It was cool to see the man of a million notes and ideas leading the group through a defly animated workout on minimalist chamber themes. His vigorous, emphatic direction and playing were mirrored by the ensemble, heavy on the low end with twin basses and trombones, Jessica Pavone and Judith Insell on violas plus Jenny Lin on piano and Danny Tunick nimbly negotiating between drums, various percussion and vibraphone. They kicked off with a mighty, Zarathustra-ish theme punctured by the occasional squall or shriek, blustery diversion or Braxton-esque atmospheric swell. Sharp carved out lots of pairings: Pavone an anchor to Lin's rapidfire knuckle-busting octave attack, the trombones channeling a stormy orchestral bustle, filling the sonic picture from bottom to top, the basses doing the same later on. Sharp filled the brief spaces between movements with fleeting, supersonic upper-register passages and frantic flurries of bop, eventually bringing everything full circle with a series of long, suspenseful, almost imperceptibly crescendoing waves upward.
And that's where the night ended on this end. There was still plenty going on – fusiony funk downstairs at le Poisson Rouge, and was that Craig Handy coincidentally leading that organ groove outfit at Groove? The place was packed; it was hard to see. And the line for the Marc Cary Focus Trio at Zinc Bar stretched around the block – good for him. Matthew Shipp's trio set back at Judson Church wasn't scheduled to start yet, but by this time, the prospect of a third consecutive marathon evening of music looming on the horizon and the rain having finally let up, it was time to take advantage of a grace period from the skies and call it an evening. Here's looking forward to Winter Jazzfest 2015.
Plenty of Revelations from Darcy James Argue's Secret Society
It wasn't any surprise that Darcy James Argue's Secret Society's first set at the Jazz Gallery Thursday night quickly sold out, and the second looked it would also. Brooklyn's best-known big band jazz act rewarded the crowd with a performance that was as volatile, both musically and thematically, as it was intricately orchestrated, the composer out in front of the ensemble, a close and warm cameraderie becoming immediately apparent. They opened with one of their older numbers inspired by Alan Turing, the legendary WWII British codebreaker and computer visionary who was essentially murdered by the same government he'd saved. In a way, this set the stage for much of the rest of the night. Argue self-deprecatingly called it "math-jazz," even though it was a whole lot more than that. One of the defining characteristics of Argue's music is long pedaled passages – lots of bands like to vamp, but Argue does it with surprising subtlety, an insistent, often constantly shifting meter underpinning all kinds of exchanges from the rest of the band. Watching the band, the inventiveness of Argue's voicings was busting out everywhere: on this one, how the entire brass section evoked the roar of an electric guitar since there wasn't one in this arrangement.
Most of this set consisted of the first part of Argue's latest, explosively evocative album Brooklyn Babylon. As you might expect from a live performance of this extremely tightly orchestrated suite, it was a little looser, more raw, rougher around the edges and more dangerous: more oldschool New York. It's a narrative told from the perspective of a fictional Eastern European immigrant hired to build the carousel atop the tallest tower in the world (symbolism, anybody?), a job the artisan first embraces and then comes to view with increased horror as the Bloomberg gentrification blitzkrieg gets turned loose on the borough's remaining working-class neighborhoods. And Argue's orchestration turned out to be as fascinating to watch as his plot line hit a bullseye, again and again. The rat-a-tat Balkan dance that kicked it off made inventive use of trombones in place of the trubas that a group of, say, Serbians would have used. Dancing flutes juxtaposed with brooding washes of low midrange brass; simmeringly passionate solos from Sharel Cassity on alto sax, Erica Von Kleist on tenor sax and Ryan Keberle on trombone contrasted with anxious, moody atmospherics and coldly mechanical rhythms, drummer Eric Doob often locking into a basic four-on-the-floor rock beat.
Amid the hammering metrics and increasingly anxious, bustling sweep of the band, a mournful Satie-esque quality drifted from a duet between acoustic guitar and piano. A blithe, dancing albeit brief interlude for flutes, and several variations on a haunting, memorable piano-and-guitar riff added unexpected colors and contrast. The group wound up the set with a work commissioned by the Jazz Gallery, blending a Steve Reichian circularity with a cinematic sweep and intensity, Von Kleist's lyrical tenor solo over Doob's altered clave punctuated by hypnotically lopsided syncopation from the brass and eventually the rest of the band. They took it up from a brooding, cumulo-nimbus atmosphere to a blazing pulse underpinned by resolute, minimalist piano riffage, Von Kleist dancing her way through the mechanistic maze that kept closing in on her.
After the set, the venue cleared the house, at which point the question arose as to whether to pull rank and take a seat for the second set as well – monkey on back, biting hard – or to give that seat to someone who'd been waiting patiently on the stairs for probably a half-hour or more. Fatigue, more than any genuine altruism, won out over the monkey: the second half, with its harrowing conclusion of Brooklyn Babylon, promised to be even better than the first.
The Future Looks Bright for Jazz & Colors
The second annual Jazz & Colors festival in Central Park was a success for the same reasons that Make Music NY has been such a failure: time and temperature. Sometimes it's that simple. Make Music NY synchronizes itself with the worldwide Fête de la Musique (the annual French busk-a-thon) on the June 21 solstice, meaning that musicians playing outdoor spaces around town wait til the sun goes down before they start, just as any reasonable person would. And by then, the rush hour crowd has rushed home to their air conditioning, or at least their window fans. Jazz & Colors, on the other hand, is held on the weekend, this particular Saturday on an absolutely gorgeous, brisk afternoon, and while crowds could have been bigger, they were a good representation of the vast expanse of demographics that make up this city. A scattering of diehards raced across the park to catch their favorite acts, a smattering of tourists seemed smitten by the chance to see so many big names for free, while random groups of New Yorkers from across the age spectrum – many among them who probably can't afford jazz club prices – took in an eclectic, energetic bunch of performances.
How do you find your way around Jazz & Colors? With a map. This year there was one available online, and there were helpful volunteers handing out copies at the 72nd Street entrance on the west side as well as at some of the performance sites. The concept this year was to have everybody play the same two set lists, mostly standards, with a few unexpected treats and a little room for originals. Placement of the acts playing the roughly four-hour festival was perfect. There was none of the sonic competition you get between stages at, say, a Lollapalooza or Warped Tour, yet the distance between bands was short enough to encourage ambitious spectators to catch several and maybe compare interpretations and arrangements.
Pianist Arturo O'Farrill, leading his explosive Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra from behind a real grand piano on the Naumburg Bandshell, sardonically thanked the promoters for "Telling us what songs to play," although he hastened to add that this had been a valuable learning experience. Unhappy with one arrangement they'd devised, they'd tossed it out and come up with a new one on the fly. Toward the end of one characteristically high-voltage Afro-Cuban romp, he gave his bassist a solo – who says that playing bass in a big band is a thankless task? They eventually went off set list for Las Vegas Tango, doing it as a psycho mambo that practically outdid Gil Evans and was too much fun to be vengeful, although a crescendo or two more might have pushed it past redline. Then they did their "We Live in Brooklyn Baby Milongo," as O'Farrill put it, mambo-izing Roy Ayers' many-times-sampled groove.
To the north and west, alto saxophonist Yosvany Terry was playing a similarly groove-driven set, leading a quartet with bass, drums and electric piano through a mesmerizingly pulsing, tropical take of A Night in Tunisia, swapping Eastern Hemisphere for the west. Then they kicked off Ray Noble's Cherokee as brightly trad, tiptoeing swing before fattening it with a Nuyorican sway, Terry eventually swapping his sax for a chekere and adding another layer of irresistible rhythmic energy. A little further south, Brian Charette's organ "sextette" turned in one of the funniest and least expected moments of the afternoon on the turnaround out of the chorus of an otherwise aptly moody, shadowy Harlem Nocturne, where the horns all went crazy for a bar or two before the verse slunk around again They also made sly ghetto lounge jazz out of Take the A Train, swung Coltrane's Grand Central Station hard with solos from alto and tenor sax, flute and bass clarinet, and gave Terry a run for his Cuban money with that same Dizzy Gillespie tune, Charette playing basslines with his left hand since he didn't have his Hammond B3 with the pedals.
Meanwhile, just up the hill, bassist Russell Hall was leading the Jazz at Lincoln Center All-Stars – in this case, a quartet that seemed to be a mostly student ensemble – with a purist but puckish touch, at one point wrly kicking off a solo with some unexpected, sotto vocce high horn voicings when the tenor saxophonist passed him the baton. And it was good to be able to catch the tail end of the string-driven Marika Hughes & Bottom Heavy outside the Delacorte Theatre, featuring the bandleader on cello and vocals along with Charlie Burnham on violin plus bass, guitar and drums. Hughes sang without a mic, but she didn't need it, wrapping up her set with a richly bittersweet, darkly bluesy "love song to New York and Gil Scott-Heron." By now, clouds had settled in overhead and fingers were getting cold, so the conclusion was timed perfectly. There were many other A-list bandleaders playing across the park, including but not limited to drummer Kim Thompson, baritone saxophonist Jason Marshall, klezmer-jazz trumpeter Frank London, bassist Gregg August, guitarist Joel Harrison, violinist Jason Kao Hwang and over a dozen other groups. If jazz is your thing – and if you're reading this, it probably is – and you're in New York a year from now, don't miss this festival.

Ocel nets third gamer-winner in a row to advance Brandeis in tourney
WALTHAM, Mass. -- Brandeis senior Sam Ocel headed home a cross from Lee Russo with just 29.4 seconds left in regulation to lead the Judges past visiting Vassar and into the third round of the NCAA tournament. With the win, the Brandeis men join their counterparts on the women's side in the Round of 16 as they improve to 18-2-1 on the season. Vassar sees its campaign come to a close at 13-5-3. The Judges will move on to face Williams College on Saturday, Nov. 17.
The game-winning exchange started at midfield. Sophomore back Robbie Lynch fired a long throw-in from midfield to Russo. Russo took a touch to the right side of the 18-yard box. He fired a cross that Ocel was able to get a head on to redirect past the outstretched arms of Vassar goalkeeper Ryan Grimme.
Ocel's game-winning goal capped a frantic final 13 minutes that saw the teams move back and forth across the field. The game got even more frenetic in the final six minutes, when Vassar denied a Brandeis corner at the 83:57 mark. The Brewers' clearance turned immediately into a corner of their own less than a minute later. The visitors had a fine opportunity when senior Zander Mrlik, who scored the game-winner in Vassar's 1-0 win against Tufts the previous night, lept and got a head on the ball, but Judge junior midfielder Kyle Feather was there to clear the ball off the line with a header of his own.
Ocel had the game's next shot as the clock crept under five minutes left in regulation, but VC's Ryan Grimme came up with his seventh save of the night. After the teams sent the ball back and forth, the game-winning exchange took place. The goal was Ocel's 13th of the season, nine of which have been game-winners. He has scored the game-winning goal in Brandeis' last three games and five of the last six.
Both teams had opportunities to break the deadlock throughout the rest of the contest, including a pair of goals that were negated by offside calls. In the first half for Vassar, the Brewers were flagged in the 43rd minute. A long throw-in by Nick Hess was headed by Mrlik through the box to sophomore forward Tom Wiechert, who was ruled to be offside before his ensuing header found the back of the net. Three minutes into the second half, it was the Judges who were burned when Russo hit the far post and Feather was flagged despite his redirection into the goal.
Grimme made seven saves in the losing effort and Brandeis senior Blake Minchoff had three. Grimme opened the game with a stop on Feather in the second minute, batting a strike from the top of the box over the crossbar. Minchoff's top save came in the 31st minute when he dived and got his chest in front of a blast from Simon Whitelaw, who sent the ensuing rebound wide. The Judges also had another defensive save off a corner in the 20th minute, when sophomore Matt Brondoli denied Mrlik.
Brandeis advances to the Round of 16 in its first NCAA tournament appearance since 1985. Before this season, the Judges had not won an NCAA tournament game since 1984, when they reached the national finals.

So I previously talked about planning my trip to Istanbul, so I figure I should weigh in on how the trip went and if I planned correctly. Swami says: Score 1 JC.
Contrary to what I had read while planning my trip, I noticed two e-visa kiosks in the airport as I arrived. However, the ease of applying via the on-line eVisa makes it a hard sell to not get the visa in advance and skip the line at the airport.
Outside the arrivals terminal I found a bank of six different ATMs. I checked my cheat sheet for conversion rates and hit the most familiar ATM. Once I had cash in hand I headed to the metro which was well labelled and about a five minute walk. (Click here to learn more about cash options overseas)
The metro ticket pass machine was out of service and the other machines accepted up to 100lr bills. As I turned to head for a cafe or a kiosk to make change I noticed a ticket in the tray. I grabbed it and looked at the pass. Some considerate traveler left an un-used 3-trip pass in the tray! All signs were pointing towards an awesome trip.
As predicted in my ride along post, there were disruptions… Big time. More-so the closer you got to Taksim square. All buses, taxis and trams were suspended before getting into the tourist areas, meaning I had to hoof it to get anywhere. After checking MapMyRun, it turns out that I walked ~12 miles.
Other than transportation being interrupted, busloads of police were brought in to cover the Taksim area and all of Istiklal Cad was closed off. It forced me to wander back streets, which gave me some interesting views I wouldn't have seen otherwise.
Travel tip: Going early to the main sights is key (Hagia Sofia, Sultan Ahmet and the cistern), else you risk spending your whole day waiting in line.
The most interesting part of this weekend was interacting with the local folks. I spent a large chunk of time in carpet shops and the grand bazaar just having tea and coffee with the shop owners. I also decided to get a haircut, which turned into the most spa-like event I've ever had – to include hot wax in areas of my face I'm not sure it should've been AND… wait for it… threading. I wasn't ready for this. It was…weird, but I just let the guy keep going.
I loaded my spare Sea to Summit backpack with Turkish bath towels, and ceramics. Unfortunately I passed on the $20,000 carpet which I thought about all the way to the airport. Ugh. So beautiful. As I left the metro station to enter the airport I found the most lost looking person I could find, helped her plan her route on the metro map and gave her my metro card with a few trips left on it.
Circle complete.

Love to Joplin, MO
Last night I came across Mrs. Wills Kindergarten Blog. Mrs. Wills is from Missouri, and this week she was contacted by Erica, a sweet Kindergarten teacher in Joplin, Missouri. In May 2011, the city of Joplin was torn apart by an F5 tornado. Many of their schools were destroyed and the teachers there were left with nothing. Irving Elementary School in Joplin, MO Seeing the devastation that these teachers and students have had to endure, reminds me how lucky our Mableton family really is. As I watch new Mableton being built each day, I know that as a school and community we have so much to be thankful for. I wanted to help out so I sent all of my TPT units to Erica in Joplin. I hope she will find some use for them and that they can help other teachers as well. If you would like to send … [Read more...]

Rubber mats for horses are not a brand new idea. It doesn't matter what sort of stall bedding you choose to employ, rubber mats can help to maintain your stalls clean. Rubber stall mats are available in several size and shapes. They could be cut to match your stall size that is unique or they may be obtained for custom fitting in walking locations or wash and horse trailers.
It's strongly suggested that rubber boots and gloves be utilized when washing (or mucking) out a stall. Gloves protect the arms from rubber boots and bruises can ward off the nasty ramifications of ammonia stuffed bedding that harm other types of shoe or boot material.
There is also several seldom applied stall mats designed. These pads, that have been just endured on twice will be $37 new . It's really a wonderful possiblity while they last to pick a discount up. Call Rob at 704-226-5406 if before they're gone, you want to catch these.
Another of the mandatory horse stall mats tractor supply pieces is just a stall front grille. These are officially optional but several horse stall matss ask them to to give the horse a better view of its surroundings and to permit for adequate airflow. a huge screen will be served like by a stall front grille. You will see metal bars within this grill that permits horses to determine out and enable air in but still retains the horse protected inside and from different problems. This grill could possibly be the full-length of the horse stall mats or it can be a partial grill.
By noticing the most stage ground inside the place I needed to develop off we started. I recognized the building I needed to construct's size, therefore it was secured by us off. Then we stepped through the procedure of observing trees and shrubs that will must come-down as a way to produce the room workable also to merely obtain resources distribution truck and the tractor back there.
Imagine standing for an entire evening. What would your feet feel like? Now suppose you're a-1,000 pound horse. This makes stall mats an attractive substitute for critically consider, as it is an affordable way to care for your horse. What horse owner does not wish that because of their favorite buddy?
Position your cleaning resources absent in a safe and secure setting out of reach of interested equines and return your horse to stall that is her or his. Your horse will appreciate the ease of a stall that is clean. Horses that live in properly-managed conditions are more happy and healthier.

Time for an Appmon DVD update!
First up, we have the slipcover artwork for Appmon DVD-Box 3!
The overall format is the same as the first and second DVD-Boxes, but this time the packaging is themed around the Ultimate Grade Appmon, including a blue outlined Globemon on the slipcover.
The 4 DVDs in the box will contain episodes 26 thru 37.
The box will contain a booklet with various production and character information. The preview shows Yuujin, Offmon, and Knight.
Also like the prior boxes, the coverart and slipcover is by Appmon character designer Kenichi Ohnuki.
The coverart really looks good, just like the prior sets did... but Entermon's eyes probably could have been toned down a touch.
The extras at the moment are listed as 'to be announced', but we expect clean versions of the 2nd OP and the 3rd ED, Gatchen by SymaG and Little Pi by Ange Reve (respectively.)
Appmon DVD-Box 3 will be released on October 3rd and CDJapan currently has it up for pre-order (Affiliate links.)

IMPORTANT: This post is being kept for archival purposes, but please reference http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc707697(TechNet.10).aspx for official documentation on how to get this configured.
After my original post on configuring ISA bridging with ConfigMgr 2007, I've had several conversations with both the ISA team and customers and have been able to work out a different way to configure bridging with ConfigMgr 2007. This is still a complicated solution with some overhead, but I think that folks will find this much more palatable than the original solution.
Here's what you'll need in advance to any further ISA configuration:
- A Microsoft Enterprise CA. I have not been able to get this to work with a Standalone CA and don't know if this is possible. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.
- A web server certificate on the ISA server. If you're using a single Internet MP, the subject name or subject alternate name(s) in this certificate has to match what you're using in the ConfigMgr console for the external FQDN. For the purposes of this post, I performed this configuration with a single MP/DP combination. If you're using multiple MPs and DPs for IBCM, you'll have to have multiple subject alternate names in the certificate adding additional complexity to the rules. ISA 2006 supports multiple subject alternate names (with caveats), ISA 2004 doesn't support this at all.
- A client certificate on the ISA server, this certificate needs to be in the Personal store for the Microsoft Firewall service account (fwsrv). This certificate is used by ISA to authenticate itself with the management point when bridging the SSL connections
- Your ISA server needs to be domain joined because it needs a means to authenticate ConfigMgr client certificates. It can be joined to a private domain in the DMZ, it does not have to be a corporate domain.
CA Configuration Specifics
I cloned the Authenticated Session template and created a new one. For the purposes of this example, I called it "IBCM Client Authentication". In the Request Handling tab for the template, I have "Allow private key to be exported" checked, and "Enroll subject without requiring any user input checked." I don't know if these are required or not. In the Subject Name tab, I have "Supply in the request" selected as we will need to specify custom certificate names. For "Extensions" make sure that "Application Policies" has "Client Authentication" as the only policy.
Client Configuration Specifics
Clients will need to have client authentication certificates using the "IBCM Client Authentication" template. The subject name format has to be "machinename$@addomainfqdn". The AD domain FQDN has to be the same AD domain as the ISA server. The machine name has to be a Computer in the AD site that ISA is joined to. For my proof of concept, I put these machines into a special group that wasn't Domain Computers. The client computer itself does not have to be joined to the domain, and in fact, I did my proof of concept with workgroup clients. There just has to be a computer account in AD that maches machinename in the certificate.
Sample configuration: AD domain is "contoso.com", client machine name is "myclient". Certificate subject has to be "email@example.com". MYCLIENT has to be a Computer account in AD. You absolutely have to provision this certificate from the template that extends Authenticated Session or else this won't work, and this is why I couldn't get this to work with a Standalone CA.
ISA Configuration Specifics
When configuring the web listener for the server publishing rule on the ISA server, you'll need to use a certificate for that listener to connect back to the management point. This is the certificate I mentioned in #1 above. For the listener, you'll need to choose "SSL Client Certificate Authentication" and have it point to Active Directory. Unfortunately, this will end up adding complexity to the configuration, but this is absolutely necessary for security! I'll talk more about why later. For authentication delegation, you'll want to use "No delegation, but client may authenticate directly" (I believe this is only needed in ISA 2006, not 2004).
If you want to restrict the paths that the rule will respond to, you'll need at minimum /sms_mp/*, /ccm_incoming/*, /ccm_outgoing/*, and /ccm_system/*. Other features (software update points, for example) may require additional paths. It's important to note that fallback status points (FSPs) do not use SSL, so you'll need to have the rule accept non-SSL requests, or set up a separate server publishing rule for your FSP. If you're using a FSP, you'll need to also allow /sms_fsp/*.
For the properties of the actual bridging rule, you'll want to go to the "Bridging" tab, and select "Use a certificate to authenticate to the SSL Web server." For this certificate, you'll want to use the client certificate mentioned in #2 above. The server publishing wizard doesn't do this for you, so this will require an additional manual step after running the wizard.
While this isn't a "simple" solution, it has considerably less overhead and complexity than the original certificate mapping-based solution. Instead of having to gather the certificates, and bind them to an AD user account using certificate mapping. All you need to do is create a specifically formatted certificate, and make sure it maps to a computer account in AD. I've done a couple of successful lab deployments with this so far and have been happy with the results. Please let me know if you have any questions or other comments and I'll be happy to try to address them.
If after reading this and you still have questions, you can request documentation from the ISA Server team. Please send an e-mail jointly to email@example.com and email@example.com.
