As a child growing up in east London in the 1960s going 'over the water' was a rare event. For me the River Thames was a 'great divide' that separated me physically and psychologically from an area of London I had no reason to visit. Bridges bore no significance and appeared to stretch from my side of the river into the great unknown.
The 'great divide 'experienced by generations of north and south Londoners was largely due to the fact that, until 1750, London had only one bridge – London Bridge – linking north and south London. The erection of Westminster Bridge that year initiated a phase of bridge building that not only showcased the country's engineering pre-eminence but also reflected its growing commercial power. New bridges straddling the Thames linked to new roads, created a free -flowing route for trade and production vital for the expanding economy.
But, whilst trade flourished over the bridges, transforming the commercial relationship between north and south, Londoners themselves found it more difficult to breach the psychological 'great divide' of the River Thames. The communities of north and south remained divided. The two tribes spoke and dressed differently and competitiveness and even hostilities remained entrenched.
By the late 19th century South London, still relatively unknown to those living north of the Thames, remained a victim of 'urban discrimination' with a rather dubious reputation based on its 'stink' industries such as the tanneries, glue factories and breweries and its historic association with prostitution, rough taverns and pleasure gardens. It was a place of offensive smells not only of industry but also of poverty. Whilst east London, an equally 'poor area' benefited from its proximity to the energetic City 'where things happened' the south remained isolated and neglected.
Rather than bridging the divide between Londoners the city's new bridges often reinforced the contrast between those living north and south of the River. In 1911 a London reporter remarked that to pass over London Bridge was to cross 'that natural dividing line of peoples' whilst, in the 1930s, AA Jackson noted in Semi-detached London 'it was rare for a Londoner to cross the river' because it remained 'foreign territory.'
For me such comments are rather familiar. Even as an adult, despite the pleasures of the 21st century South Bank, going 'over the water' remains a huge psychological barrier I find difficult to cross.

New & Noteworthy Research
Social Thinking was originally developed as an intervention and assessment framework dedicated to tackling the complex social emotional learning needs of individuals with social learning challenges. At its inception 20 years ago, there were relatively few treatment-based research studies available to guide interventionists in how to teach individuals about their own social learning process. This relative lack of treatment research, while not as bleak today, continues to be limited. The underlying motivation for the creation of the Social Thinking methodology was, and is, that individuals with social learning issues should have access to interventions and strategies based on both individual learning abilities and the demands of the community within which they participate.

Hi folks,
You may remember a few months ago that Fairfax County CERT was tasked to manage an emergency preparedness themed Boy Scout camporee. The event was to take place at the county fire academy; but was cancelled due to some technical difficulties.
The camporee has been rescheduled-the new dates for the camporee are Saturday March 24th and Sunday March 25th, 2012. The camporee will take place at the Fairfax County fire academy.
This camporee will involve up to 300 Boy Scouts and adult scout leaders. We are tasked to teach their emergency preparedness merit badge to them. In addition, the goal is to also train the Boy Scouts to Teen CERT level qualifications. This is a tall order folks-and we will need at least 35 to 40 CERT members to work this event and make it a rousing success.
In order to lead this event, we need an IC for it. This CERT will be in charge of the operations at the camporee. Working closely with CERT 12's Charles Monts (who organized and IC'ed the last camporee in 2007) the IC will be responsible for getting their teams together; organizing the training stations, ensuring safety and a myriad of other duties.
The IC for this event will put in some hours. Planning hours; learning hours, execution hours.... I won't lie to you-it's a challenge. A challenge in planning, executing and leading this event. Anytime you put 300 kids in one space for any period of time, it's a challenge! But, it is also a perfect opportunity for someone interested in being given a plan for a large, high profile event and executing it to a very high standard.
The ideal IC would be-a CERT 2 or 3 graduate current on their refresher classes status. A CERT that's wanting to lead a large, important "real deal" type event. Someone willing to put in the hours to make it happen. Someone wanting to truly make a difference-not only to the CERT's you lead; but helping 300 kids grasp the principles of disaster preparedness and teaching them CERT techniques as well. Just think-the emergency preparedness concepts taught at the camporee could stay with these teens for a lifetime. That's what I call important, folks..........
Are you up to this task? Are you wanting a challenge? If you are, we're looking for YOU. Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, email address and CERT class number.
Disaster preparedness training and resources from the Fairfax County (Virginia) Community Emergency Response Team. CERT trains people to safely help themselves and their communities in case of major disaster. Learn about free training opportunities with CERT.

Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)
Gynecomastia is the medical term for abnormally enlarged breasts in a male. This is not uncommon in adolescents, young men, and even older gentlemen. In the younger patient, it can be a great source of embarrassment and social disruption, especially with sports-related activities and changing in the locker room. However, for men of all ages, visible male breast tissue can cause significant psychological distress, diminish self-esteem, and inhibit self-confidence. Male breast reduction is one of our comprehensive male plastic surgery procedures that is designed to treat gynecomastia by removing excess breast tissue and/or fat in order to restore the appearance of a flat chest. Male breast correction should ideally have invisible scars to retain discretion, which is why Dr. Ram Kalus takes great care to perform the surgery in a manner that can leave residual scarring as inconspicuous and unnoticeable as possible.
Causes of Gynecomastia
While the development of excess tissue or fat in male breasts is fairly common, it often resolves naturally throughout adolescence and puberty for a generally flat chest appearance. When the breast tissue becomes enlarged and markedly visible, the condition is known as gynecomastia. A number of factors can contribute to enlarged breast tissue in men, including:
- Elevated hormone levels during puberty
- Steroid use
- Obesity
- Medication side effects
- Chronic liver disease
- Hereditary conditions
With gynecomastia, it is common for breast tissue to develop asymmetrically; sometimes, excess tissue may even be present in one breast, but not the other. Ultimately, gynecomastia often develops as a result of changes in an individual's hormone levels; however, the condition can also be caused by genetic influences.
Male Breast Reduction Procedure
Male breast reduction surgery aims to reduce excess breast tissue, while flattening and enhancing the contours of the chest. Liposuction may also be utilized as a technique to remove excess fat; our plastic surgeon will discuss the particulars of your treatment plan after a careful consultation and physical examination. When undergoing treatment for gynecomastia, it is common for men to combine the procedure with other enhancement options—such as liposuction of the back or flanks—in order to achieve a more comprehensive cosmetic result. Our surgeon will be happy to talk with you about the most ideal options for your ultimate goals.
To achieve a natural-looking result, scarring from any incisions should always try to remain around the areola (the dark pigmented area surrounding the nipple) exclusively and not extend into the remainder of the breast or chest, as would typically be the case in female breast reduction. To see examples of male patients who underwent breast reduction surgery, or gynecomastia correction, please visit our before-and-after photo gallery.
Male Breast Reduction Recovery
Immediately following surgery, you may have to wear a support garment for a brief period in order to minimize swelling and promote proper healing of your new chest contour. There will be some degree of normal post-operative bruising and swelling; however, discomfort from this surgery is often minimal and should be manageable with oral pain medication. While strenuous exercise and aerobic activity should be avoided for at least a couple of weeks in most cases, work and other daily activities can usually be resumed after a few days. Dr. Kalus will give you specific instructions regarding recovery in person.
The results of surgery are typically immediately visible. Over time, any residual scarring should generally fade. Men who undergo male breast reduction surgery are often among the most satisfied individuals at our practice. Gynecomastia patients' newfound ability to remove their shirt or work out without fear of embarrassment has been described as life-changing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does male breast reduction result in excess skin?
Patients who have good skin elasticity generally don't worry about excess skin after surgery, as the skin can contract and tighten to their new chest contour. However, for those with poor skin elasticity or a large amount of excess breast tissue, additional procedural steps may be required to remove extra skin during the operation. Our surgeon will perform a thorough examination of your needs and make you fully aware of your surgical expectations during a consultation.
Can exercise be used to treat gynecomastia?
The effectiveness of exercise on male breast enlargement is dependent on the nature of your unique condition. If your gynecomastia is a result of excess glandular breast tissue, exercise will have no effect on the appearance of male breasts. On the other hand, if your gynecomastia is related to obesity, weight loss and exercise can sometimes provide improvement aesthetically; however, it is very rare for gynecomastia to be completely resolved with exercise alone. In most cases, there will be some degree of visible breast tissue and surgery is often necessary to completely remove the excess.
Does insurance cover male breast reduction?
Unfortunately, male breast reduction is considered a cosmetic enhancement in most cases. Therefore, the procedure is not covered by many insurance policies. However, coverage varies on a case-by-case basis, so be sure to carefully review your health care plan or insurance policy and do not hesitate to raise any concerns with our practice. We will be happy to discuss our accepted forms of payment and financing options with you.
If you would like more information on treatment for gynecomastia, or if you would like to schedule a confidential consultation, please contact Plastic Surgery of the Carolinas.

As a business owner or landlord, most probably you already experienced how weather and seasonal changes affect the exterior of a property – with regular maintenance, damages can be minimized and this will increase the building's value on the long run. The interior is just as important, and our company offers the best commercial painting solutions to meet your expectations.
Richmond Commercial Painting is a Wauwatosa interior and exterior painting company. Our team will gladly discuss the details of painting your property, may it be a commercial/industrial building, or a shop. High quality service and commitment to safety – we focus on doing our job as best as we can, so that you would be totally satisfied with the results. Feel free to request our painting services to enhance your commercial property's appearance!
Wauwatosa Painting
Richmond Painting isn't just a professional Wauwatosa commercial exterior painting company. We provide a variety of painting services that include interior painting, exterior painting, texture painting, coating and waterproofing. All of our services are dedicated to helping you improve the appearance of your commercial business or your residence.
Richmond painting has already supplied several local Wauwatosa businesses with superior exterior paint jobs. Some of our work that you may have seen around town includes: Dick's Sporting Goods, Ultra Beauty, Taco Bell, and Wauwatosa Women's Club.
How can interior and exterior painting help you?
A poor or worn-out paint job leaves your facility looking dull, drab, and maybe even dirty. Investing in a fresh coating will give your building a facelift and breathe new life into your facility. However, most industrial painting services accomplish more than just a pretty picture.
Interior coatings can protect your walls, flooring, machinery, and steel structural components from damage due to the heavy wear and tear that occurs daily in industrial settings. Floor coatings protect your substrate from traffic and chemical spills, while structural coatings inhibit rust and corrosion in steel components. Machinery and equipment painting enhance safety and extend the life of your machines.
Wauwatosa Waterproofing
As a large commercial business, waterproofing can save you tons of money. There are several benefits to having your warehouse and commercial business waterproofed.
Water can cause significant damage to your building and your equipment. The professionals at Richmond Painting provide the best waterproofing services in the area including coating, elastomeric coating and roof coating. These services will protect your property from water damage. We can coat the top of your roof to improve its sealing and help you avoid water leaks.
We also specialize in machinery painting that can keep your heavy, expensive equipment from being damaged by harsh weather elements and rust damage.

- Can I start any time or are there specific semesters I must enroll within?
You can start at any time. LCU Online® students operate independently from the semester system used at Main Campus.
- May I obtain my Master's or Doctoral degrees via LCU Online®?
- Yes. See our page on Degree Programs.
- Can I take LCU courses if I don't want to pursue a degree?
Yes. There are usually two reasons for people to study at LCU without pursuing a degree:
- You desire spiritual growth on the highest level possible, but have no need of a degree. In such cases, you may earn Certificates of Completion of each program without having to provide proof of high school graduation.
- You have not graduated from high school and therefore cannot qualify to enter a degree program. Since the work you will be doing is the same either way, you may complete a GED program (high school equivalency) at any time after starting LCU, submit proof of completion, and then have your completed certificate coursework converted into degree credits at no charge.
NOTE: After completing 60 credit hours as a certificate student (earning a GPA of C or better), students will have demonstrated their ability to study at the university level and may enroll in the university and begin to earn credits toward a degree (The 60 hours of certificate study do not count toward their degree).
- What courses will I be required to take first at LCU?
All students are required to take Program 1 unless they have previously attended a ministry education institution similar to LCU in its theological approach. This exemption will be determined during the assessment phase of enrollment, during which time the student may begin the first course of Program 1, "Principles of Faith".
- Can I obtain a degree in majors other than theology, pastoral ministry, and Christian education?
- Not at this time. LCU Online® will be releasing courses for additional majors in the future. Some majors, such as Christian counseling, require supervised internships and/or extensive lab work and, therefore, will not be offered online.
- What is included with each course?
- You will receive a course outline, an exam and/or research paper assignment, your required textbook(s), and the lectures by video or MP3 (typically 10-12 per course, depending upon the course format).
- How do I begin?
First, there are 2 basic computer software requirements.
- LCU Online® currently supports only these web browsers:
- Apple Safari (MacOS, iOS)
(bundled with MacOS)
- Google Chrome (MacOS, Linux, Android, or Win7+)
(free download)
- Mozilla Firefox (MacOS, Linux, Win7+)
(free download)
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 (Win7/8/8.1)
(bundled with Windows)
- Microsoft Edge (Win10+)
(bundled with Windows)
NOTE: To protect our students' personal information as well as our corporate servers, LCU Online® does not support any browser running on a PC using WindowsXP and older. We also do not serve our videos in Adobe Flash format for the same reason.
- Apple Safari (MacOS, iOS)
- You will also need software which can read and print Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files as well as access to a printer so you can print the outline and test. If you own a PC and have neither Acrobat Pro nor Adobe Reader, Reader is a free download. MacOS/iOS users without Acrobat Pro may either use MacOS' Preview.app or Adobe Reader.
Download Adobe Reader here.
- In case your Internet access is too slow to support online videos, we have also included audio-only versions of the lectures in MP3 format. To download the MP3 file rather than playing it in your browser window, click the download icon next to the desired session in the Sessions List on the courseŐs web page. You may then either listen to them on your computer, transfer them to your favorite MP3 player, or burn them onto a CD.
NOTE: Lecture videos are for streaming playback only, never download.
Before taking any courses, you must first create an LCU Online® user account. Please carefully read and follow all directions found there, taking note of the following:
- Enter your primary email address to ensure our communications with you are unhindered. If your email software has a spam blocker, you will want to ensure that any emails coming from lcus.edu are whitelisted.
NOTE: LCU will neither constantly spam you nor sell/impart your email address to any third party for any reason.
Make a note of your username and password, as you will need them later to log in.
NOTE: No one at LCU has access to your password, ever, period. You are solely responsible for remembering your login credentials.
- If you have already applied at LCU and received a formal Acceptance Letter, please find your LCU Personal ID# provided there and ensure that you enter it into its field on the form.
- If you have applied at LCU and have not received a formal Acceptance Letter, please either await that letterŐs arrival before proceeding or contact Main Campus and speak with a student advisor concerning the matter so you are not accidentally issued two LCU Personal ID numbers.
NOTE: Being issued dual Personal ID numbers is a source of confusion for you and resolving them is a headache for both you and our IT staff, so it is best avoided.
- If you have not applied to become a formal student at LCU and intend to take courses casually, simply leave the Personal ID# field blank and one will be assigned to you by the system.
- After completing the form, click ŇCreate Your AccountÓ button.
The system will then inform you that a confirmation email has been sent to your email address. It should arrive almost instantaneously, so keep an eye on your spam folder(s) if it doesnŐt show up in your inbox. After it arrives, open it and click on the link it contains, which will take you back to the LCU Online® website to complete your account registration process.
NOTE: If you do not respond to this email as instructed, your account will remain inactive until you do. If you need to have another confirmation email sent, please click on the "Reverify Email Address" button on the LCU Online® login page.
Once confirmed, you may then login to your new LCU Online® user account using your username and password.
NOTE: Regardless of how you obtain your Personal ID#, you should always use it whenever you communicate with your student advisor concerning your studies at LCU.
- LCU Online® currently supports only these web browsers:
- What if I have trouble logging in?
- Click on the ŇHaving Problems Logging In?Ó link on the LCU Online® login page. You will be presented with a series of yes/no questions which will walk you through the troubleshooting process.
- How do I purchase a course?
- Log into LCU Online® using your username and password.
- Click on the button labeled ŇMy Learning CenterÓ on the Main Menu.
Once inside the Learning Center, you will be presented with a list of all courses available at LCU Online®.
NOTE: The system knows which courses you have already purchased online and/or taken at a physical LCU campus. All courses previously completed at an LCU physical campus will be automatically credited to you as though you had purchased them on LCU Online®. You may review any of your courses at any time at no charge, regardless of when/where/how you took them.
- To make your purchase, click on the icon in the Actions column next to the desired course.
On the following page, select the academic level (Undergraduate, Masters, Doctor of Ministry, or Doctor of Philosophy) at which you will take the course. Then click the "Continue" button.
NOTE: The level determines both the amount of tuition you will have to pay as well as what textbooks are required for the course.
- On the next page, enter or verify your billing address and, optionally, a separate mailing address. Then click the "Credit Card" button.
- On the following page, enter your credit card information, then click the "Pay Tuition" button.
If the purchase is successful, you will land on a page detailing the transaction and allowing you the option of generating a printer-friendly receipt for your records. You will also receive a confirmation email containing the same information.

Workers have new tasks on their to-do list: Say hello to colleagues. Don't forget to smile.
Companies may be reluctant to admit their offices are anything less than pleasant, but incivility -- think belittling barbs or gruff responses -- can lead to lost productivity, creativity and talent. As employees who are forced to do more work with fewer resources become more stressed, the rudeness is ramping up. So firms are urging staffers to play nice.
Uncivil behavior can 'spread like a virus across teams, ' says Elizabeth Holloway, a professor of psychology at Antioch University and civility consultant.
Some 96% of workers say they have experienced uncivil behavior and 98% have witnessed it, according to a continuing study by Georgetown University and Thunderbird School of Global Management of nearly 3, 000 participants.
Meanwhile, 25% of workers surveyed in a 1998 study said that they were treated rudely at least once a week, but a separate 2011 study showed that 50% of workers felt they were treated rudely at least once a week.
At the National Security Agency, an intelligence analyst invited workers to adorn a desktop metal tree -- the 'civilitree' -- with the names of kind co-workers as part of a yearlong agency effort to bring more warmth to the U.S. government workplace. Meanwhile, managers encouraged workers to pay someone a compliment or show up early for a meeting, by sprinkling 'challenge cards' across the cafeteria and in the restrooms. Employees who did good deeds were honored as 'civility stars, ' rewarded with plaques and, in one instance, extra time off -- all in the name of increased cordiality among colleagues, according to the NSA's director of equal employment opportunity and diversity.
Even Dish Network Corp., which topped financial-news website 24/7 Wall St.'s list of 'the worst companies to work for' based on employee feedback, is trying to take a kinder, gentler approach.
Chief Executive Joseph Clayton, who took the helm of the satellite-television company in 2011, says he has been pushing to lighten the mood at the firm's Denver offices.
That has meant summertime concerts for employees and their families and a softened stance toward the company's strict attendance policy. The company no longer requires workers to scan in by fingerprint and gives managers more discretion to allow a parent to leave to take a child to preschool, for example.
'I wanted it to be a more fun place to work, ' Mr. Clayton says. 'I think people have a responsibility to treat everybody else the way they want to be treated.'
He is quick to note that the new policies don't change Dish's core priorities, which include 'winning' and 'being incredibly driven.'
But the changes are a long way from the warm-and-fuzzy corporate culture of Southwest Airlines Co., where an entire department is devoted to sending employees supportive notes when a family member is ill or congratulations when they have a baby. 'We have people here who remember our birthdays when our family members don't, ' says Ellen Torbert, the company's vice president of diversity and inclusion.
And if workplaces become sullen and demoralizing? Workers in toxic environments have difficulty concentrating and processing information, says Christine Porath, who studies incivility at Georgetown's McDonough School of Business.
Victims of incivility dial back their work effort and are more likely to lash out, Ms. Porath says. And the costs can be steep: Networking-equipment company Cisco Systems Inc. in 2007 estimated the cost of incivility in its organization topped $8.3 million annually, Ms. Porath says. That figure takes into account turnover, employees' weakened commitment to the company and work time that was lost to worrying about future bad behavior.
Some organizations are setting rules to foster friendliness. At Louisiana's Ochsner Health System, employees are required to follow the '10/5 rule, ' making eye contact with anyone within 10 feet and greeting anyone within five feet.
There is also a 'no venting' rule; a nurse upset about a missing chart or a doctor having difficulty with the computer system has to retreat to a 'safe zone' -- such as a private nursing-manager's office -- to express frustration, says Kara Greer, the health system's vice president of talent management. Employee evaluations take into consideration whether workers follow the procedure.
Employees who have been on the receiving end of workplace incivility say it was a major factor in their decision to seek work elsewhere. A July survey of 1, 000 people from public-relations firm Weber Shandwick found that 26% of respondents had quit a job because of an uncivil workplace.
Not all managers believe capitalism and kindness go together. Ray Dalio, the founder of hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, implores his staff to swiftly fire people if they aren't a good fit for the firm and extols 'accurate criticisms' as more valuable than compliments, according to a document which outlines his principles, available on the Bridgewater website. The firm didn't respond to requests for comment.
'It is your job as a manager to get at truth and excellence, ' Mr. Dalio writes, 'not to make people happy.'

If anyone has jumped onto the Mac OS X bandwagon, it's Adobe, which reflects the massive size of its customers in the graphic arts business. Most of its bestsellers are available in Mac OS X versions, including Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive, Acrobat, Acrobat Reader, and so on.
One notable exception is Premier, an Adobe video-editing program that's only available for Windows. The closest Mac equivalent is Final Cut Pro, a $1,000 program made by Apple. (If you're coming from Premier Elements, the closest equivalent is Final Cut Express, which is only $300.) Or you may find that the newly beefed-up iMovie HD program (free on all Macs; see Section 14.12) handles all the video editing you need.

While we don't recommend going completely off the grid in a residential situation, there are options to make the most of solar.
Grid Tie
Our smart controllers are programmed to handle Grid-Tie Situations. When participating in a grid tie (Net Metering), our smart controller charging system seamlessly manages the solar energy you produce to top up your battery or allow energy consumption within your home or if there is still excess electricity available, the controller directs the unused electricity from your module into the grid for credit back from the utility company (Net Metering). Grid-Tie would require a contract with your local service provider and additional certifications (check your local jurisdiction) are required to participate in the program.
Load Displacement
Should you choose that Grid-Tie isn't something you want, the system will Load Displace the electricity. The module will charge the batteries and once the batteries are fully charge, the excess power will power the needs of your home. Any excess electricity you do not use, remains as potential energy to convert when needed just like the utility company's electricity that comes in from your electric panel and outlets.
Our CHP modules give our customers peace of mind. When there is a grid or power failure, the battery back-up system kicks on to provide electricity to the essentials (not including 240V appliances). You'll never notice when the power goes off again: no missing the alarm clock, no stumbling in the dark.
Cottage Use
For cottages or remote homes, the CHP Solar Optic Module Solar System is the perfect heat and power solution.

The Art of Chopin, an hour-long documentary film by Gerald Caillat produced by Euroarts Studio and released in August 2010 to commemorate the great Polish composer's 200th birthday, was the fifth "Festival Event" presented by The Cleveland International Piano Competition at The Cleveland Museum of Art. The CIPC website describes the film as "a thought-provoking and enlightening film paying tribute to the art of Frederic Chopin (1810-1849), whose unique and inimitable writing laid the groundwork for twentieth century music and the modern piano."
Garrick Ohlsson, the first American to win the International Frederic Chopin Competition in 1970, provides much of the dialogue during the documentary. Taken aback as he views a video excerpt from his exciting and historic competition winning performance at the onset of the film, he humbly says, "wow — only a few minutes, but such a big part of my life."
There is also quite a bit of historic performance footage of other distinguished pianists who won the Chopin Competition such as Bella Davidovich (1949), Maurizio Pollini (1960), Martha Argerich (1965) and Krystian Zimmerman (1975), plus concert and studio performance footage of Piotr Anderszewski, Yuja Wang, Evgeny Kissen, Murray Perahia, and none other than the legendary Arthur Rubinstein.
At one point Ohlsson speaks of the difficulty in execution of the Etude in A minor, Op. 10, No. 2, explaining, "there are sixteenth-note chromatic scales in the third, fourth and fifth fingers while the thumb and index finger plays accompanying quarter-note staccato chords in the right hand." He firmly reiterates, "the right hand is simultaneously playing two entirely different parts. And then one must forget about the technical difficulties and communicate the musical expression, turning a study into a poetic and imaginative creation." Another historic video clip with a bird's-eye-view of his hands captures his mastery of this etude.
This was more or less the extent of the technical talk of Chopin during the film — perhaps of more interest to pianists studying and performing his music than to listeners — but nonetheless, very fascinating. Poetry and beauty with pathos and heartfelt emotion, penetrating directly and deeply into our souls. This is the Chopin the world knows and loves. This is the master who has been described as "the chameleon of the piano" for his kaleidoscopic grasp of color, mood, texture and feeling.
Chopin's output of compositions for the piano is staggering: 27 Preludes, 27 Etudes, 20 Waltzes, 59 Mazurkas, 17 Polonaises, 21 Nocturnes, 4 Ballades, 4 Scherzos, 4 Impromptus, 7 sets of Variations, 4 Sonatas, 2 Concertos, 5 Rondos plus 21 miscellany works.The many short video clips in the film give a fairly good representation of Chopin's multi-faceted character, revealing the great variety of styles within his wide-ranging types of pieces.Preferring to play in the intimate atmosphere of the salon rather than in big concert halls, Chopin's hushed, poetic utterances draw the listener in, demanding undivided attention in a subtle, delicate way. But when he cries out in declamation, he does so with great strength, passion and heroism.
The film briefly touched on Chopin's relationship with George Sand. At first he felt she was much too emancipated for his taste, but he soon changed his mind and the two became inseparable as they left Paris, relocating to the Isle of Majorca. Chopin's health was failing and he was practically penniless, living with Sand in a Monastery. Sadly, he described his room as looking and feeling like a coffin.
Perhaps the main quality which makes up the essence of Chopin's music — which is in large part responsible for its world-wide appeal — is its spontaneous, improvisatory feel. Chopin labored over every last detail, large and small, so it is quite miraculous that despite that, his music sounds so very fresh, blossoming with inventiveness and originality. He was the master of rubato, and the influence of the bel canto style of Italian opera, which he so loved, is distinctively inherent in his writing.
We are left breathless as Arthur Rubinstein plays the last section of the second movement Larghetto from the piano concerto in f minor. Strategic camera work effectively captures his face head-on for the duration of this clip. One cannot help but be mesmerized by the contentment and solace expressed as he effortlessly sings Chopin's song, setting each note like a perfect little jewel, peacefully concluding the movement in a heavenward ascent.

Making SCL use a little saner
Personally, I find it difficult to remember which SCLs (software collections) I have enabled while I am doing development. Or, perhaps more likely, when I get distracted from development and I come back to the window I was using before. As a result, I added the following to my bashrc which displays in the prompt what SCLs are enabled.
if [ "$X_SCLS" ]; then PRETTY_SCLS=${X_SCLS// /,} PRETTY_SCLS=${PRETTY_SCLS/%,/} PS1="($PRETTY_SCLS) $PS1" fi
Someday, maybe I'll figure out the fancy that is powerline and rewrite this as a plugin.
So, just a short post, but I would love to hear your tricks for using software collections in the comments.

Main Street Design Project plants trees in downtown West Point
The West Point Main Street Design Project purchased about 50 trees and are in the process of planting them in Downtown West Point.
"Our town would benefit from more greenery because, not only is it beautiful, but it is shady in the summer and good for the environment," Kathy Dyess, chairperson of the Main Street Design Project, said.
Design Committee Member Deborah Mansfield said the Main Street Design Project held the Plant a Dream fundraiser last May to raise money to purchase the trees. Participants painted pictures of trees and then auctioned them, raising about $8,000.
Mansfield said Main Street Design Project has purchased $3,500 worth of 10-to-12-foot willow oaks, overcup oaks and crepe myrtles.
"Some will go in Sally Kate Winters Park and around the walking trail at the park," Mansfield said. "Three trees will frame the Howlin' Wolf mural on Main Street. They will be planted within the next few months."

Despite the warm temps, summer is just a memory now. Those carefree days by Lake Michigan, moshing at Lollapalooza, or barbecuing on the deck can be put in the file marked summer 2016. But at Navy Pier, summer continues. Riva caters to the discriminating diner by offering the best seafood, original dishes, and fine wines to accompany dinner. I have to say I have dined in some of the finer establishments in town and also some real holes. Tonight, the Steffani restaurant was there to impress. When we were escorted to our table ,we found find a welcome surprise There was a piece of paper with our names on it and a special menu that was created just for us.
I have always loved seafood. Red Lobster, New England, and Florida it doesn't matter. I was so excited to indulge into this seafood fest. I picked a Moscato for the journey. I had no idea what was in store for this evening.
The lobster corn bisque was an original. It reminded me of a corn chowder my sister in law from Boston made. It was thick, creamy, and had that harvest feel to it. The bisque was filled with large kernels of corn and tiny pieces of lobster. Every mouthful was a pleasure to eat. It was good to the last sip.
Overwhelming was the only word to describe the iced container of seafood that was delivered to our table. Blue point oysters , shrimp that were the size of your fist, Chunks of Alaskan king crab, and tuna poke. were housed on a bed of ice with accompanying sauces. We also got a chance to try their highly recommended crab cakes. Scrumptious ! was the only word to describe them. It brings someone great joy to nibble yards and yards of shrimp meat and the tuna poke was filled with chunks of avocado and other spicy things. The best was yet to come.
The Seafood Feast took up an entire table and was freshly grilled. It consisted of a one pound Maine Lobster that was filled with meat. The lobster was relatively easy to open and what was really fun was to watch Jen eat real lobster for the first time. Large Alaskan king crab legs only required a seafood fork to scrape the meat from each leg. A big luscious bowl of garlic butter was brought to the table for dipping. Grilled vegetables and mushrooms proved to be the perfect accompaniment for the meal.
Only a great dessert can follow this great of a meal. There were several good choices but upon careful deliberation , we chose the big chocolate cake. Big doesn't begin to describe it. It was the Hancock building of chocolate cakes. Towering above the plate, was five layers of chocolate genoise and butter cream. It was light and fluffy . Don't plan on being able to finish the cake either, just safe it for later. There was that much left over.
Riva Crab House is part of the giant entertainment center known as Navy Pier. But hey, before you brush it off as a place to bring the relatives from out of town, come out and see the new Navy Pier. The ferris wheel is definitely the place to get the best view of town. There are also new attractions, the Shakespeare theatre, and great little shops. . The view from the upper dining room at Riva is spectacular and would be the perfect spot to watch the fireworks during the summer. Riva is also doing a special thing during the month of October. When you order special dishes with a pink ribbon by them on the menu, Riva donates a dollar towards helping in the fight against breast cancer. This is one other reason that dining at Riva is special.

Cosmetic procedures are performed to correct yellow, crooked, stained, injured, misshapen, missing or deformed teeth, improving the patient's smile as well as his or her self-confidence. Cosmetic dental procedures include whitening, porcelain veneers, tooth-colored fillings, dental implants and dentures.
General dentistry involves the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of a wide range of dental conditions for patients of all ages, as well as the maintenance of overall oral health. This comprehensive care from a general dentist is usually the only source of care patients require for their dental needs. You can prevent dental conditions by seeing your dentist on a regular basis. Regular visits to the dentist are recommended at least once every six months in order to maintain proper oral hygiene and screen for any potential problems. These checkups involve a full mouth cleaning, as wellX-rays to provide your doctor with full, detailed images of your teeth that can help detect early signs of decay or disease.
Restorative dentistry can help improve the appearance and overall health of your smile after experiencing tooth loss or damage from disease, injury or other causes. It is important to seek proper treatment for lost or damaged teeth in order to prevent further damage and relieve difficulties with eating or speaking.
Some of the restorative treatment options available include:
Dr. Williams will discuss the differences between these treatments with you and help you decide which option is best for you.
Older patients often suffer from a number of dental problems, including discoloration and weak or missing teeth. There are many treatments available for problems that affect the elderly, including bleaching and cosmetic restorations for stained or misshapen teeth; dental implants, dentures and partial dentures to replace missing teeth; and fluoride applications to counteract dry mouth.
Dental appointments for children are important to evaluate the teeth and gums as well as to educate the young patient for a lifetime of dental hygiene. We will talk with you about your child's oral health and hygiene, including teething, fluoride, brushing and flossing, cavities, sealants and orthodontics.
Dr. Williams is board certified in Oral Conscious Sedation. Patients who are uncomfortable with needles and drills, who have sensitive teeth or gums, or who have a strong gag reflex can be helped with dental sedation. After one pill or injection, many patients feel no discomfort whatsoever during and after treatment. They often have little or no memory of the visit. Another benefit is that extensive treatment can be done in one or two appointments, including whitening yellow or stained teeth, replacing crowns or dentures, fixing chipped or damaged teeth, and restoring sore gums to good health.
Dental implant crowns often look and feel like natural teeth and are fused to the bone to provide stability. In fact, they may be indistinguishable from natural teeth to others. The use of porcelain crowns creates a smooth, metal-free appearance that fits in seamlessly with your other teeth.
Dental crowns are used to strengthen and improve the shape, size or color of teeth. They can support broken or weak teeth or those with large fillings; provide a smooth, strong, attractively contoured surface for stained, misshapen or otherwise abnormal teeth; and aid in the implantation of bridges and other implants.
Dental bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements which help maintain facial structure, reduce stress on the jaw and fill in the gaps caused by missing teeth. Fixed bridges are cemented to the existing teeth and do not come out. Removable dental bridges can be taken out and cleaned at home.
A dental extraction, commonly known as getting a tooth pulled, is one of the most common procedures performed at a dentist's office. While Dr. Williams will first make efforts to treat your condition and save the tooth, this is not always possible. Dental extractions are often performed to relieve a broken tooth, significant tooth decay or to remove wisdom teeth that cause overcrowding in the mouth.
Dental fillings are one of the most common types of restorative treatments, used to improve the appearance and functionality of teeth affected by damage or decay. The filling materials, which can be made from several different substances, help to even out tooth surfaces for more efficient biting and chewing. These restorations can last for many years and help keep the tooth looking and functioning at its best.

Oh my gosh,I absolutely loved this product! It made my hair look super hydrated and healthy,it always made my curls/waves look more bouncy,and it smelled so amazing! I'd give this a rating of 9.7/10,and I would recommend it to almost anyone. The smell was what originally made me buy it,but it does work very well,it gets quite a bit of moisture and softness and I would definitely recommend it to anyone with dry hair,or anyone who just would like it.
Just what my hair needs after a day in the pool or a day at the beach ! This is one of my favorite shampoos from Herbal Essences . It smells so good. My whole bathroom and bedroom will smell like this shampoo after I take a shower and I love it lol . The conditioner to this line is amazing it . It's extra thick and creamy and it makes you feel like your hair just sucks it up . I go through the conditioner so much quicker then the shampoo bc of that
First, I would like to tell you about the rich coconutty smell! It's amazing. And you can smell it throughout the day! Also, this shampoo (and separate) conditioner leaves my hair soft to the touch, shiny and smelling amazing. You have got to try this! Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Moisturizing Shampoo
One of the best hydrating shampoos I've ever tried. My hair is always silky and smooth whenever I use this product. It gives a nice shine to my hair on days where I'm not feeling myself. It also makes my hair feel softer which is good for my coarse hair. The smell isn't overwhelming when you use it, and it does have a nice consistency for lathering up.
I'm not a fan of many shampoo products at all because the product normally strips the hair. Now this product does strip the hair but not as bad as other shampoos. No I don't use the conditioner that comes with it but I do use this shampoo and I live it.
I used this shampoo (with the matching conditioner) for years and I loved it, I alternate between this one & the white grapefruit one just for scent purposes. This shampoo truly moisturizes your hair to the MAX and my hair always feels silky smooth after rinsing it out. 100% would recommend if you need a cheap shampoo that hydrates your hair.
Before I switched to DevaCurl, this was my holy grail shampoo. It leaves such a nice lingering scent afterwards and this is a godsend to my dry, curly air. I bought bottles of this. It's very creamy, lathers exceptionally well, and comes off easily. I recommend it to anyone who wants a fix for their dry hair without breaking the bank!
This goes for all Herbal Essences products, IT SMELLS DELICIOUS. And the smell stays! It's so hard to find a scent that actually stays in my hair but these always do! That being said, I never found it to be particularly hydrating. Other than smelling good, it didn't do anything significant for my hair.
Herbal Essences has been a favorite since childhood! I love the smell then, and I love it even more now! With my thick, long hair, I need a really good shampoo to keep my hair moisturized. This does the trick every time, and I love the softness it provides. Compliments have always come from my hair!
This shampoo left so much build up in my hair after using it. I know its supposed to be hydrating but all it did was add grease and grime into my hair and made it look way dirtier than it was. I will never use this again and I don't recommend to anyone. The only good thing about it was the smell!
I always almost by this product for my dry hair. But my hair is very thin and gets greasy easily. Would you recommend or does it leave hair greasy?
Is the smell long lasting?does this really moistarise your har???????????????
How good and effective is this product never have tried I always stick to the same shampoo for some years now
Do you switch between herbal essences scents/types or do you always stick to this one?

The debate on life insurance between term and permanent policy has been an on-going battle. "Which is better?" is the consumers' most asked question when it comes to policy life insurance. It is important to understand what life insurance means and do we really need to purchase it?
Perform a mini-need study. Take the time to find out your ideal policy, it vary on individual needs. If you're young, insurance is the last thing you'll think of purchasing, but how about helping your parents. If you're married, you think of your spouse and children if ever you go back to God's loving arm. How about when you die, funeral cost is very expensive and you don't want to leave your family savings at stake. If you want to have pension, then figure how insurance will help you. To term or to perm.
Bankrate.com explains the coverage of each policy. Term insurance provides coverage for a predetermined period of time. Permanent life insurance offers coverage for an open-ended period of time, as long you continue to pay the premiums. The premiums are higher than those of term insurance, but these products also accumulate a cash value that the policyholder can borrow against or receive upon surrendering the policy.
Let's say you already owned Term Insurance and realized that there's a need to convert it to Permanent Insurance. Making the conversion from Term to Permanent contract may be vital to your general financial program depending on your objectives. Here are some suggestions for converting a term policy.
Contact your insurance agent from whom you bought the term policy and have consultation or call the insurance company to locate the agent for you. Go over the convertibility feature that the company offers under your term policy. Settle on which plan will give you with the best benefits at the cost you can afford. If you know which plan to go through then have the conversion paperwork, read it thoroughly and make sure to have a copy before signing. Policy contract is not like a magazine that can be seen anywhere in the house, it is an important document that needs to be place in a safe position.
Added security and protection for your family is usually the main reason why Term holders convert it into Permanent. If you are one of those who are taking the next step, contact your agent now and begin the conversion.

How heartwarming to read repeated rage over Lon Allan's column protesting the new state legislation on more humane treatment of chickens. How sad that another member of the poultry family is denied a minimum of humane treatment, thanks to a federal judge overruling the California ban on foie gras (fatty liver) ("California chefs celebrate as foie gras ban is lifted," Jan. 8).
Last year when we lived for a period in France, I was proud to represent California's defiance of the sacred status of foie gras. How many of those chefs who delight in serving foie gras have seen a goose enclosure in the beautiful Dordogne, where geese crowded together are each dragging their oversized livers, as large as the goose itself? Have they watched the farmer force the goose's beak open to insert a funnel and force yet more liverswelling grain down a goose desperately trying to resist this torture? Torture it is for the goose; greedy gourmandise for the consumer. Are we stewards of creation, or selfimportant, self-indulgent, insensitive tyrants over creation?
