Developer Q&A
Can anyone use the APIs?
miiCard's APIs have different access requirements, and some require you to sign a terms of service or commercial contract. This is summarised in the table below:
|Directory API
|Claims API - Subscriptional
|Signed 'Terms of Service' agreement
|Claims API - Transactional
|Variable - contact us
|Signed commercial contract
|Financial API
|Variable - contact us
|Signed commercial contract
How do I get a consumer key and consumer secret?
Take a look at the Getting Started section for a form to fill in - the more information you can supply about what you want to do, the quicker we'll be able to help out.
Do I need a key and secret to use the Directory API?
No - the Directory API is a public search tool intended for use by anyone via simple HTTP requests - there's no OAuth or other authentication mechanism to deal with.
Why do you need so much information for API access?
The privacy and security of our members is important, and we want to make sure that their identity data is going being used in an appropriate way.
We also want to get involved in integrations to make them as smooth and simple as possible. By finding out a bit more about how you're planning to use miiCard we're better placed to offer you guidance and support before development starts, and assistance during and after implementation. If you're trying to do something with miiCard that we don't support yet then we can talk about that too.
What sort of information can I request of a miiCard member?
At the moment you can request any information that a member can also elect to make public on their profile page. This includes:
- Their name
- Email addresses
- Phone numbers
- Postal address
- Date of birth
- Social media and other online identities
- Web pages and domains
- and more...
Take a look at the API documentation, in particular the MiiUserProfile object type - just let us know which fields you'd like populated and which you want to be mandatory. You should only request information that you actually need for your use case - the less information you require from a miiCard member, the more likely it is that they'll share it with your application.
How do I get support?
A number of ways:
- Send us a support request
- Use the GitHub issue tracking pages for the API wrapper library or component you're using, if you're having trouble with it

But he knew that he might not be so lucky the next time. So he bought several hundred feet of fire hose, along with a nozzle and wrenches to open hydrants.
Just before the sun rose Tuesday, Crivello got the chance to use his equipment as the Witch fire began threatening the first house on his block.
For the next four hours, amid searing heat and thick smoke, he and two neighbors hitched the heavy hose line to the back of a truck, moving it from hydrant to hydrant as they battled to save their neighborhood.
"We knew we had to stop the flames from reaching our little valley," Crivello recalled Thursday.
The three neighbors each had their reasons for standing their ground. One knew that fire crews were stretched thin and that somebody had to hold the line. Another didn't want to leave the dream home he had recently built. And one came back to help when he heard that his friend had stayed behind.
After the fire tore through High Valley, more than two dozen homes were gone. Many of them, on spacious lots with sweeping hilltop views, were marked only by chimneys standing like watchtowers amid piles of smoldering rubble.
"The most tragic thing is we knew a lot of these people," said Mike Perry, 46, who fought the fire alongside Crivello, 43. "It's depressing."
Crivello had recently moved into his 4,500-square-foot home when the Cedar fire broke out in October 2003. That blaze burned in a horseshoe pattern on the fringes of the valley but never reached his neighborhood.
Vowing to be prepared, he bought 600 feet of 2 1/2 -inch fire hose, the type of line that firefighters use to blast large volumes of water on structure fires.
Even though he had the hose, Crivello and his wife decided to leave their home with their three children Sunday evening after hearing about the fast-moving Witch fire.
He said he didn't want to go but did so because of the children, who range from 6 to 13 years old.
By Monday morning, Santa Ana winds were pushing the fire toward High Valley.
Around 10 a.m., a San Diego County Sheriff's Department cruiser drove through the neighborhood, warning residents to leave.
Perry told his wife and three children that they had to go. But he decided to stay behind, even if it meant battling flames with just his garden hose.
"I knew there would be absolutely no fire support," he said. "They were stretched too thin."
Monitoring the fire at a relative's home in Mission Hills, Crivello got a call from a neighbor, who told him Perry had stayed behind.
"That was all I needed to hear," Crivello said. "I just got my butt back there."
Unknown to Crivello and Perry, their neighbor John Pasenelli also had decided to stay put with his wife.
The couple had moved into their custom 4,000-square-foot home a year earlier and refused to leave.
Pasenelli, 46, said he and his wife slept in shifts Monday night. The orange glow from the fire, meanwhile, grew bigger and brighter.
About 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, the blaze began gobbling up homes on the ridge above Pasenelli's home.
He was asleep wearing short pants and a baseball cap. He had laid out a pair of heavy jeans and a long-sleeve shirt to don in case he had to fight the fire.
But he never had a chance to change.
His wife woke him up, saying the fire was burning the brush behind their home. He put on his shoes and ran outside.
A mass of embers swirled around as he used a garden hose to knock down spot fires in his yard.
Half a block down the street, Crivello and Perry had hooked up the fire hose to a hydrant and were spraying themselves down because the heat was so intense.
Both men were wearing tennis shoes, T-shirts and shorts.
"I felt like the hair was singeing on my legs," Crivello said.
Noticing the spot fires around Pasenelli's home, the two men tied the hose to Crivello's truck and raced toward their neighbor's property.
Teaming up with Pasenelli, they beat back the flames.
"We just started doing what we had to do," Perry said.
But the fight had just begun.
Down the block and partially up the ridge, a neighbor's garage was beginning to burn.
The three men unhooked the hose and used the truck to move it near the garage and a two-story house on the property.
If the garage and house went up in flames, they said, so would the neighborhood.
As they poured water on the burning structure, a propane tank on the property above exploded as flames devoured what had once been a grand home.
"It was an incredible whoosh . . . like spontaneous combustion," Crivello recalled. "It was absolutely amazing."
They eventually lost the garage, but they were able to save the house.
For the next couple of hours, they protected about half a dozen homes.
They eventually were joined by a fourth neighbor, Jerry Carrier.
Throughout it all, they kept hosing themselves down and took turns on the nozzle. "It was so hot, and the smoke was so bad you had to pass the nozzle to the next guy," Perry said.
About 10 a.m. Tuesday, fire crews arrived and provided the muscle that the men needed to stop their block from going up in flames. Looking back, all three said they had made the right decision and would do it again.
They did, however, concede that they would do one thing differently the next time: "Our next purchase is going to be some [protective] fire gear," Crivello said.

Oops not keeping up with my Journal
So I had great expectations when I created my Art Journal. I was going to use it at least once a week - 52 pages in the journal for 52 weeks in the year. Well I am way behind as other "stuff" has kept me from the journal. So today I was bound and determined to complete a page.

Cessna 172 Skyhawk
First flight January 1955.
The Cessna 172 must surely be the greatest unsung hero in aviation. From its origins in the 1950s it has become the most numerous aircraft of all time with over 43,000 being manufactured, the Cessna 172 has touched all corners of the world.
The Cessna 172 started life as a tricycle landing gear variant of the taildragger Cessna 170, with a basic level of standard equipment. In January 1955, Cessna flew an improved variant of the Cessna 170, a Continental O-300-A-powered Cessna 170C with larger elevators and a more angular tailfin. Although the variant was tested and certified, Cessna decided to modify it with a tricycle landing gear, and the modified Cessna 170C flew again on 12 June 1955. To reduce the time and cost of certification, the type was added to the Cessna 170 type certificate as the Model 172. Later, the 172 was given its own type certificate, 3A12. The 172 became an overnight sales success, and over 1,400 were built in 1956, its first full year of production.
Early 172s were similar in appearance to the 170s, with the same straight aft fuselage and tall landing gear legs, although the 172 had a straight tailfin while the 170 had a rounded fin and rudder. Later 172 versions incorporated revised landing gear and the swept-back tailfin, which is still in use today. The final aesthetic development, in the mid-1960s, was a lowered rear deck allowing an aft window. Cessna advertised this added rear visibility as "Omni-Vision." Cessna has not changed the airframe configuration since then, except for updates in avionics and engines, including the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit in 2005. Production halted in the mid-1980s, but resumed in 1996 with the 160 hp (120 kW) Cessna 172R Skyhawk. Cessna supplemented this in 1998 with the 180 hp (135 kW) Cessna 172S Skyhawk SP.
Over the years the Cessna 172 has continued to evolve making it the perfect aircraft for training and recreational flying, with many air-forces across the world using them for a wide variety of purposes, from surveillance to army co-operation.

Donald Trump says he wouldn't support impeachment hearings for President Obama, as it would only serve to make him a "martyr," as the radio host suggested.
Trump agreed with the host's martyr imagery today during an interview with "Info Wars" radio host Alex Jones. Trump "largely demurred when Jones asked if it was time to try to toss Obama out of office," according to Politico.
Trump shifted the discussion to talking about establishment Republicans for failing to fulfill so many past campaign promises.
"The best thing that we have going with Obama is that he's got a year left," Trump said, adding that wasn't enough time to go through the hearings.
Jones asked if the hearings would make Obama a martyr, and Trump agreed before pivoting away to say that he was most angry at Republicans for failing to fulfill their promises to voters.
As Breitbart News has already reported, Trump also used the time to attack Hillary Clinton, saying she shouldn't be allowed to run for President.
Donald Trump says that Hillary Clinton shouldn't be allowed to run for president, and adds that her greatest legacy is that "she was a horrible Secretary of State."
Trump, appearing on the Alex Jones show, discussed the prospect of Hillary Clinton winning the 2016 election and declared that she shouldn't be able to run in the first place.
"She is so corrupt, she shouldn't even be allowed to run" Trump said. "Frankly, her greatest legacy is she was a horrible Secretary of State."

Blue panels on the walls of this $100-million development in Dartmouth Crossing clearly identify it as the new Nova Scotia store of the internationally-recognized IKEA brand.
On the outside, there's a lot about this building now going up under the watchful eye of Bird Construction that's common to IKEA Canada stores throughout the country. But the guts of this building are an entirely different matter.
Last summer, Mount Uniacke-based Brewster Well Drilling sank about 120 holes into the ground while the foundation was going in and Atlantica Mechanical installed pipes to carry water for this store's geothermal energy system.
"The water transfers cooler temperatures in the soil to provide air conditioning in the summer and higher temperatures from the ground to heat the building in the winter," says Doug Shreenan, Atlantica Mechanical's chief estimator.
Then, as construction on this 328,000-square-foot behemoth progressed, crews installed a 624-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system on the roof to provide electricity, the largest solar installation at any IKEA store in Canada.
A voltage-optimization system, which will regulate the electrical current entering the building, will give the building's owner control of peak loads and extend the life of that green energy system.
"One of the many things that drew me to IKEA is its commitment to sustainability and the focus on both people and the planet, which is a personal passion of mine," says IKEA Canada's Dartmouth Crossing store manager, Sue Coulet.
"We're committed that IKEA Halifax will be constructed to operate as the most sustainable IKEA store in Canada, and to achieve this we're focusing in particular on energy efficiency, waste avoidance and mobility."
While generating environmentally-friendly energy with the use of an extensive solar array and a geothermal system was part of IKEA Canada's strategy to make its Halifax outlet its most sustainable store in Canada, these certainly are not the only initiatives the giant retailer took.
"All of the lighting on site will be light-emitting diode, which also reflects our commitment to only sell the most energy-efficient lighting products to our customers," says Coulet.
"This store will be the first in Canada with a living wall, with live plants fed with natural light, at the entrance to the restaurant area. This feature will help to purify the air in the building and provide a calming effect."
The building envelope for the store is being built with features to minimize energy loss and consumption, including triple-paned windows and a high-reflectivity roofing surface to cut down on solar heat during the summer months.
But the retailer is also building in features to help it draw environmentally-conscious consumers, including a small-scale, parking lot wind and solar demonstration on a few of the lighting posts, and waste-sorting equipment to beef up its materials recycling efforts and keep as much garbage as possible out of the landfill.
"IKEA Halifax customers will be offered a free, take-back service for household batteries and lightbulbs, and we will ensure that these products containing hazardous materials are recycled responsibly," says Coulet.
"We are exploring many more ways to support the creation of a more circular economy, and we look forward to introducing these developments to the Halifax market."
All of the fixtures in the new IKEA store will have sensor-activated taps and dual-flush toilets to cut down on water usage. Skylights and lighting sensors are being used to provide natural light in the self-serve warehouse area.
During each of the past eight years, IKEA Canada has been named one of Canada's greenest employers by Singaporean media juggernaut Mediacorp. All of the cotton IKEA uses for its products comes from sustainable sources and the company no longer sells incandescent bulbs, having switched over to an all-LED product line.
Seafood served in its restaurants is either Aquaculture Stewardship Council or Marine Stewardship Council certified. And IKEA gives its employees sustainability training and the opportunity to see the impact it has on the planet through its IWitness Global Citizens Program.
Four years ago, IKEA Canada made good on its vow to become energy independent by 2020 when it bought a 20-turbine wind farm expected to produce 161 gigawatt hours annually in Pincher Creek, Alberta more than double the company's total energy consumption.
Then, earlier this year, IKEA invested another $119.6 million for another wind farm, the 55-turbine, 88-megawatt Wintering Hill facility near Drumheller, Alberta. It is expected to produce enough energy to power the equivalent of 54 IKEA stores. That means the retailer's wind energy investments in this country can now produce four times its current energy consumption in Canada.
At the store level, IKEA Canada is installing electric vehicle charging stations and the store in Halifax will be no exception.
"Our store will be equipped with five electric vehicle charging points (that will serve 10 vehicles) and preferred parking spaces for low-emissions vehicles, and we hope this will address range anxiety and enable more Nova Scotians to adopt electric mobility," says Coulet.
"The store will also be well connected to public transportation and bicycle path networks, and we offer a convenient delivery service for customers who travel to the store in these ways!"

You do take them in the A.M.? Try keeping a diary on your meds. What time do you take them. Do you take it the same time every day? Good News and Bad news about the meds. All this will help your Cardiologist know how it is working on you.
I have HBP and on medication but do not experience the problems you do. There are many drugs out there, so if one does not work maybe your doc will try another.
I wish you the best of health
UPDATE. I finally went to a BP specialist... the problem??? All the meds were too strong thus my body was working overtime to to keep my pressure up... on a low dose of amlodopine and doing great..
After taking Diovan HCT 160mg/12.5 i have a problem with my right eye, a sore on my tongue, headaches, bad dreams and numb tingling hands. I am really worried about my eye. Has anyone had problems with eyes. I am now on Diovan 80mg, still not feeling good.

Global Citizenship Partnership between U.S. Schools and Rwandan Students
Service Learning Component
The service learning component of REAP enables American elementary and high school students to connect with the Duha students. This approach allows students in America and in Rwanda to build a bridge between two different cultures, and to bring alive their common humanity . Service learning enlarges a student's perspective on their own life through understanding another culture. In addition, by committing to an action, a student gets to experience the difference they can make in someone else's life as well as their own.
The following projects reflect our service learning:
- Hackley Lower School students conducted a 'read-a-thon' to promote and celebrated a love of reading in order to raise money for new books as well as support the Saturday Reading Program. Students, under the leadership of the art teacher and kindergarten teacher, made and sold ceramic bowls in a project called, "Bowling for Rwanda."
- Windward Lower School students raised money through "Jumping Jacks for REAP" to purchase quality feed for the dairy farm, maintain the health of two calves, support the purchase of culturally relevant books, and purchase necessary school supplies. Windward students also organized a competition to name our most highly prized cow. They settled on Oreo.
- White Plains High School Human Rights students raised money for a sustainable farming project in Rwanda called "Mango for Hope Project."
- White Plains High School Human Rights students, through the "Moo Project" raised money to purchase cows for the Duha Complex School.
- Master's School created a game project with their freshman class. These students developed a series of games with instructions, which they shared with the Duha students. Duha students reciprocated by sharing Rwandan games with the Master's students.
- White Plains High School ESL students are writing letters to the Duha students who participate in the Saturday School Program.
- John Jay students worked on raising money for a basketball court to be built at the Duha School.
- Ed Ballen and Susan Altman presented to social studies teachers at the Westchester Holocaust Student Conference. This was an opportunity for these teachers to learn about REAP and to encourage them to consider a 'learn and serve' component for their classes.
- The girl scout troop of Leman Manhattan Preparatory School designed a picture book about New York, which was given to the Girl Guides troop at Duha. In additon, the girl scouts of Leman raised money for the Girl Guides troop in Rwanda. The Duha girls used this donated money to buy piglets to raise and later sell. This income will help the girls buy school supplies as well as food for their families. The Duha girls also drew pictures of their life in Rwanda, which were shared with the Leman girl scouts in America.

Lego-Based Therapeutic Social Skills Group
Following Dan LeGoff's Lego club, these groups are designed
to encourage communication and problems solving skills. One child acts as the
"engineer" and describes the instructions, another as the
"supplier" finding the correct pieces and the "builder"
puts the pieces together. The children change roles weekly allowing them to
practice compromise, and understand frustration. Children start by building
quick and easy lego kits and work towards harder larger kits.
Under the Pink Umbrella
A drama and activity based social skills group for girls age
8 to 12. This group focuses on building self-esteem and self-confidence and
encourages socialization, communication, and conflict resolution skills.
Pre-School Age Therapeutic Social Skills Group
Preschool is the perfect time to intervene intensively for
children with social skill difficulties. With a limit of 6 children per group,
this group will focus on teaching social skill basics such as eye contact,
following directions, associative play, answering questions, and making
associations. Group techniques include Applied Behavior Analysis and individual
goals for each child in the group. This group is a nice supplement to public
preschool special education programs.

When I had my son back in 2010, I found the antenatal breastfeeding classes desperately disappointing. They seemed to focus purely on how easy and natural it was, and as such I entered the world of breastfeeding hugely naive and uninformed. We were offered no information about the realities of feeding – day-to-day practicalities, timings, amounts, hunger cues, mixed feeding, routines, how to look after ourselves when feeding, what hurdles we might encounter and how to access the right support for a positive journey. It's fair to say that the reality of breastfeeding was a big shock to me, and it wasn't until I found the right support – postnatally – that I enjoyed or even felt engaged in feeding my son. I know that I would have had a much more positive experience if I felt really clued up and prepared ahead of Oscar's arrival, and that's what I want to bring to every one of you.
I don't have an agenda with breastfeeding. I believe breast milk is nutritionally superior to formula, but I strongly believe that each woman – as with birth – has the right to make decisions based on what feels right for her and her baby. I also believe that she will make happier decisions if she is informed, armed with the knowledge, tools and techniques to make her journey more calm, positive and engaging. Happy mum. Happy baby.
And that's exactly why I've scoured to find the most wonderful lactation specialist I can, Imogen Unger, and collaborated to offer you an outstanding antenatal workshop covering everything you need to know about feeding your baby.
This woman-only workshop lasts for 2.5 hours, and covers:
- How breastfeeding works – supply and demand, let down reflex, importance of emptying the breast
- How to establish a good milk supply
- Identifying early feeding cues
- Positions for breastfeeding
- How your partner can support you
- How to know if your baby is getting enough milk
- Size of a baby's stomach/understanding milk volume
- Poo and wee (of course!)
- Troubleshooting – mastitis, sore nipples, top-up trap, tongue-tie
- Expressing
- Mixed feeding
- Paced bottle feeding
- Returning to work
- Your questions answered
- A full handout pack that you can take home and share with your partner
The next workshop will run on Friday 18th May, 10.00am–12.30pm in East Dulwich. Tickets are £45.
There are a maximum of 12 places to ensure that everyone has the chance to ask questions and receive personally tailored support. These workshops book up very quickly. Places will go on a strictly first come, first served basis, so if you would like a place, please book now using the link below.
Friday 18th May, 10.00am–12.30pm, £45 per person, book your place here.

The workshops will run in East Dulwich on Mondays from 10am–2pm once a month (did you know you're entitled to paid time off work for birth preparation classes?). You will learn 3 breathing techniques, our signature massage technique, how to access and practice deep relaxation, making informed decisions in your care, how to work with your hormones and the physiology of labour and birth. There are 12 places available and the cost is £195 per person which includes a course companion, 3 MP3s, a birth plan template and refreshments.

Annapolis Summer Garden gives music lovers something to 'Shout' about
By Mary Johnson, For The Baltimore Sun
July 2, 2014
Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre's "Shout! The Mod Musical" is a star-studded show that rates a hearty shout of approval. After success with the 1950s-style jukebox musical "The Marvelous Wonderettes" in 2011 and the nostalgic song-and-dance musical "Swing" in 2013, Annapolis' "theater under the stars" has established a winning formula that relies on a strong ensemble to deliver chart-topping favorites from the past. First produced in 2006, "Shout!" was created by Phillip George and David Lowenstein. Set in London in the 1960s, the show features about two dozen songs that were hits for female singers, including Petula Clark's "Downtown," Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man," Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are Made for Walkin'" and other hits.

Online group labeled a snoop
By Dawn C. Chmielewski and Dawn C. Chmielewski,KNIGHT RIDDER/TRIBUNE
March 5, 2001
The music industry's battle to halt electronic distribution of bootlegged songs has shifted from courtrooms in San Francisco to a place closer to home - your computer's hard drive. A new technology is crawling undetected through the same computer networks that connect music fans to their favorite songs. Like a houseguest who secretly rummages through your medicine cabinet, it peers at individual hard drives in search of certain songs. Once it finds a copy of a particular work - say, Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" - it notifies your Internet service provider to terminate your online connection until you remove the offending copy.
Napster devotees get in their last licks
By Michael Stroh and Michael James and Michael Stroh and Michael James,SUN STAFF
July 28, 2000
For digital music lovers around the world, yesterday was time to rock and roll. Tens of thousands of them spent the day scrambling to download their favorite tunes by the gigabyte as word spread that a popular online source for music would shut down by midnight PDT tonight. "I'm downloading 24/7," says Alex Markson, 22, a computer programmer at Canton start-up Gr8. The source of the feeding frenzy was Napster, the song-swapping service with more than 20 million users. Napster acts as an online clearinghouse, connecting people looking for digital MP3 music files with others who have them on their computers.

In the wind
By Stephen Wigler
January 2, 1997
One of the legendary musical groups in New York during the 1950s and early '60s was the New York Wind Quintet. According to some music lovers, those halcyon days may be returning because of the five young wind players -- flutist Marya Martin, oboist Stephen Taylor, clarinetist Alan Kay, hornist David Jolley and bassoonist Frank Morelli -- who formed the New York Wind Soloists a few years ago. This ensemble will perform what promises to be a fascinating program...

Baltimore Book Festival events for music lovers: Riot grrrl panel, 8 Ohms and the Crawdaddies
By Erik Maza and The Baltimore Sun
September 21, 2011
There will be lots of readings and panels and many jokes about "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" at this year's Baltimore Book Festival , which kicks off Friday. But there are also a bunch of events for music lovers. On Saturday, at 3:30 p.m., Jared Ball, a professor at Morgan State, will present a live edition of his "Freemix Radio: The Original Mixtape Radio Show" to promote his book, " I Mix What I Like: A Mixtape Manifesto," which was released this summer.
Wild at heart in The Wildwoods
By Karen Nitkin, Special to The Baltimore Sun
May 12, 2011
The Wildwoods are three adjacent New Jersey beach towns, Wildwood, North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest, known for their wide white beaches — open to the public, free of charge — and devotion to simple summertime pleasures. The centerpiece of the activity is the Wildwood boardwalk, more than two miles long and crowded with funnel cake stands, amusement park rides, arcade games, water parks, ice cream shops and souvenir stores. Though just strolling the boardwalk, splashing in the water and building sand castles is entertainment enough, the Wildwoods offer a host of other things to do, from free concerts to a Doo Wop Museum and parasailing.
Getting Baltimore in tune with Austin
By Sam Sessa, The Baltimore Sun
March 18, 2011
It's Thursday afternoon, and downtown is awash in live music. Guitar solos shriek through the air, and the crisp snap of snare drums echoes from inside live music clubs. Hundreds of bands are crammed into every nook and cranny, vying to impress the tens of thousands of music lovers and industry folks who swarm the streets. They've come to the Texas capital for the South by Southwest Music and Media Conference (SXSW), a 10-day summit for more than 100,000 on-the-cusp artists, filmmakers and fans that wraps up Sunday.
Henry Miller "Hank" Worthington dies at age 80
By Frederick N. Rasmussen, The Baltimore Sun
September 16, 2010
Henry Miller "Hank" Worthington, a retired hardware executive and music lover who enjoyed waterfowl hunting, died Monday of complications from dementia at his Garrison home. He was 80. Mr. Worthington, the son of a hardware executive and a homemaker, was born in Baltimore and raised in Forest Park and Garrison. He was a 1948 graduate of Gilman School and attended Princeton University, where he played ice hockey and was captain of the skeet shooting team. "He was an expert marksman, a skill inherited from his father, a 13-time Maryland state skeet and trap champion," said a son, Edward H. "Ned" Worthington of Garrison.
Saving The Symphony
August 2, 2009
It was both heartwarming and heart-rending to watch the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's musicians voluntarily give back $1 million in pay raises and other previously negotiated benefits last year in order to keep the institution afloat through the current economic downturn. The players' sacrifice was an expression of the fierce loyalty they felt toward the orchestra and its management, and their generosity was unprecedented. Of the 17 major symphony orchestras in the country, the BSO players were the only ones to give back previously negotiated salaries and benefits on their own, rather than in response to management demands.
An Influential American
February 22, 1992
Non-music lovers may have been puzzled by news of the recent death of composer William Schuman. They were probably thinking of Robert Schumann (1810-1856), the German Romantic composer, music critic and mentor to Brahms. Yet William Schuman (1912-1992) occupied a comparable place in American musical history: He was among this century's most important composers of the modern American school. As a teacher and arts administrator, he was one of the most influential voices on the U.S. cultural scene.

Gifts for the music lover who's always looking for the next big thing
By ERIC GWINN and ERIC GWINN,Chicago Tribune
December 23, 2008
Help someone you care about take his or her music on the go this holiday. Good-sounding, cushy Coosh earphones ($20-$25; coosh.com) slip around the ear and into the ear to stay in place. They're not the best at reproducing bass, so lovers of boomy hip-hop won't be thrilled with them, but rock fans will rejoice. A Retrak charger ($25) plugs into a car's cigarette lighter jack to power just about any small portable device, including MP3 players and even a few power-hungry smart phones. Now a Bluetooth-capable phone can recharge even while being used with a hands-free headset.

Among one of the most vital choices a newlywed pair could make beyond the wedding celebration is based in the bed room. From firm to soft, healing or normal design, the sort of cushion that is picked should be something that deals with each person and their requirement for convenience. Beyond the choice of exactly what kind of mattress a pair will make use of comes the selections of size. It is a considered that a pair cannot perhaps rest pleasantly on a twin-size bed, to make sure that just leaves 3 choices: complete size cushion, queen size and king. Because situation, a queen or economy size cushion need to be bought.
The following thing to think about is any kind of physical concerns or restrictions existing. If a person is disabled, they could call for even more area in order to suit any type of unique tools. Because situation, a complete cushion size would not be the most effective alternative as this size of cushion would restrict the person.
Among the major advantages– and worries– of a complete cushion is that it is not extremely broad neither lengthy. This needs the pair to lay closer with each other, which is great if they want to cuddle or rest within each various other's arms. For somebody that likes to roll and extend out throughout rest, being on a complete size bed is just asking for problem. Nobody intends to get put in the center of the evening by their partner while he is handing over.
After the choice has been made on the best complete Tempurpedic mattress size, the pair ought to experiment with the mattress by putting down with each other on it before getting. They need to ask themselves if the cushion is soft or solid enough, do they have enough area to move, and if the mattress is long enough to suit their elevation. If the pair fits with the choice, then there is no reason they ought to not make the acquisition. If there is also a tiny quantity of question, the pair ought to review the choices offered with each various other before making the financial investment.
Despite the fact that mattress-inquirer is a powerful tool, the method for picking the ideal one is endangering with each other. There is no cushion that will be ideal for every person. It is the task of the pair to satisfy in the center and choose a cushion that both people will enjoy with which could conveniently get a relaxed rest. A relaxed rest equates to a calm marital relationship … which could make every person satisfied.

Test Pattern – Sonia Dada
Razor and Tie 7930185018-2
If America is the melting pot of ethnicities and ideals, Sonia Dada is its analogue in the musical cosmos. Nine members, multi-part harmonies, uninhibited joy — these traits bond like chromosomes to create one of the most auspicious collectives in music today, a multi-cultural fete cemented by Test Pattern, the band's sixth offering.
Make no mistake — this album is saturated with pop music, and wrung out with international hands, allowing reggae beats and Middle Eastern sitar to intermingle comfortably in a blend brewed with Chicago blues and Southern soul. Rich Indian tapestries cover gospel alters in Sonia Dada's world, the irreverent marriage flowing free from the fingertips of guitarist and primary songwriter Dan Pritzker. The Sonia Dada experience, in terms of Test Pattern, is one that flows seamlessly, most tracks segueing into another in the midst of a lush, opium din haze that drifts thick with new themes, new voices, and new takes on familiar sounds. Most prevalent over the course of the album is the gospel overtones, perpetuated by the vocals of Michael Scott, Shawn Christopher, Paris Delane and Sam Hogan.
Sonia Dada's sound has universal appeal; the quiver of influences that float from this disc flirt consciously with world music — music your dad could tap his foot to. The sounds are sweet and robust, swelling gradually like a puffer fish in the cool green Atlantic. But the compositions are also edgeless, for lack of a better term. Not to say that Test Pattern doesn't take risks. It does. From the funk-fueled "Temple," to the reggae backbeat of "Take Back," Sonia Dada is able to corral as many influences and sounds as one mind can conceive. But their uplifting, danceable grooves are remarkably benign and delicately placed, even at their most high energy.
Accompanying the disc is an ambitious film, also entitled Test Pattern, shot by cinematographer Jeth Weinrich while listening to the album. The 30-minute film is a collage of color and characters, and is rife with visual artistry both abstract and cohesive. Occasionally strange and ultimately uplifting, the film allows the music to construct the characters, and the viewer to define them.
Sonia Dada's mystical tones, Middle Eastern melodies, bluesy vocals, and permeating harmonies waft through like the spiraling incense smoke in a temple of Ganesha, and are uncanny companions. Yet collectively, dipped in professional polish, they complete the soaring, dream-like surges that permeate the album. The plethora of musical levels render Test Pattern a veritable soundtrack smudged with the fingerprint of Sonia Dada, and filled with variety, freshness and a beauty unexpected and often unattainable in music.
