- n. A staircase in the form of a helix.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Sorry, no example sentences found.
What a fine, fine verb, is maraud.
*brightens* Oh! Well, off I go!
You are perfectly equipped to be a marauder then!
Well, this explains everything. I'm left-handed, you see.
Descending, reesetee, descending. The ascending pillagers are meant to be hampered by the clockwise orientation, while you, the worthy householder, are permitted to descend with sword a-flashing and a-slashing.
c_b: consider it moved, with more shocking revelations from the frindley past…
I wonder if special left-handed shock troops were ever trained for the purpose of fighting up spiral staircases?
And don't think we're not grateful for the ability to keep one's sword arm free while ascending a spiral staircase, frindley. ;-)
Fencing! Dude! I used to fence in college (don't anymore) but my S.O. and friends started (practically) a local fencing club. Do you still fence? Do you have any fencing lists? (Like, ones I can pillage?) :)
*wonders if she should move this over to fencing*
It's interesting that to this day nearly all spiral staircases are still built to ascend in a clockwise manner, thus allowing modern men and women to keep their sword arms free.
I find this appealing even though my prowess in fencing is strictly limited to the balestra, a move of which I'm especially fond.
In castle architecture, "a compact staircase often built into the walls of castles. Usually designed so that attackers climbing a clockwise staircase would find it hard to fight with their right hand, whilst descending defenders would have their right (sword) arm free." Other names are corkscrew stairs and turnpike.

Idol and J-pop entertainer 菊地彩香 / Ayaka Kikuchi (15), of group AKB48, announced on her blog that she has been given the chop after a tryst with her boyfriend came to light, with this news coming on the heels of the earlier compromising photos of her that were spread on the net.
The first scandal ensued when she committed the gross indiscretion of appearing with her boyfriend in a purikura, "print club", one of the booth machines in which a gaudily decorated photograph can be had for some coin.
This is the offending item, reading "Always together for 3 months":
After it became public she took a break from performing, or, in other words, was suspended.
The cause of this leak? Her boyfriend posted the photo on his online profile; the career destroying scamp then later proceeded to brag online about sleeping with her, creating a major scandal, as Japanese 15-year-olds are well known for guarding their chastity and being paragons of virtue in this respect.
Fans raised their voices in indignation at the prospect of some schoolboy laying hands on their pure and virginal idol, citing it as being a deterioration of the group's public morals, and thus damaging to the image of their precious group of pretty young virgins, although insightful observers might cite a somewhat different reason for their consternation.
To further add to the trouble, someone thought to be a friend of hers started repeatedly trolling the rabid fans, calling them a creepy bunch, and then upping the ante by posting spurious threats of taking a hand grenade to an AKB event.
Then, in response to all this and but a few days ago, she announced her "retirement": "It's clear to me that I committed a rash and thoughtless deed, so on the 14th I withdrew." The announcement from her agency was less indirect: "We cancelled our exclusive use contract with her".
I leave it to you to decide who the most sordid participants in this sorry tale are.
Regarding these kinds of fans, you may recall that their untoward actions towards the objects of their obsession are legend; only recently we hear of an idol being deliberately ignored into tears at a handshaking event, for the disgusting impropriety of having a boyfriend…
The girl in question, full of charisma:
More conclusive evidence, as if you needed any, of why digital cameras, personal blogs, etc., can be a disastrous combination for idols, undoing the carefully constructed aura of feminine unattainability with a few artless V-signs and a lot of inane grinning, to say nothing of the lack of Photoshop enhancements.

Hey my lovely girls! :) About 2 weeks ago it was my nameday (we celebrate that in Greece) and I was wondering what kind of gift my boyfriend could buy me. Makeup? Yes, it's really exciting when you get new things to try out, but I already have so much stuff, so I had to restrain myself and think of something else. How about a new storage solution for my makeup? Yes, yes, yes! As you can see I store most of my makeup in clear sterilite drawers, which are handy only if you own 10 single eyeshadows, 3 blushes and 5 lipglosses, otherwise they're not very practical, because you can't see at once exactly what you have. So, here's the storage solution I have found :
It's from Ikea, it's called ALEX and as you can see it has 6 drawers. I'm thinking about organizing my makeup like this :
- face stuff (foundations, concealers, powders, bronzes, highlighters, blushes)
- eye stuff (neutral eyeshadows, black and brown eyeliners, mascaras)
- eye stuff (colorful eyeshadows, colorful eyeliners)
- lip stuff (lipsticks, lipglosses, lipliners, lipbalms)
- palettes (big ones)
- various things (nail polishes, false eyelashes, beauty tools)
Pretty neat huh? ;) What do you think about it? Do you own this storage unit? Please let me know about your thoughts on it in the comments section below! :)

Round Table Pizza Partners with Make-A-Wish to Adopt Treyvonn's Wish
San Leandro, CA -- Round Table Family Charities has, once again, partnered with Make-A-Wish and adopted its third wish. Treyvonn, a 15-year old from San Leandro, is battling sickle-cell anemia. His wish was to go on a Disney Cruise with his family and, with the help of Round Table Family Charities, that wish came true.
On Sunday, March 9, Round Table held a celebration for Treyvonn and his family at one of its restaurant in San Leandro, where Treyvonn shared stores of the fun he had while on the cruise.
"Make-A-Wish's mission is to provide hope, strength and joy to children battling life-threatening medical conditions by granting their wish," explains Round Table CFO, Ken Stanecki. "We are excited about this opportunity to partner with this great organization and look forward to building this relationship."
On May 19, Round Table Family Charities will be holding a golf event in Danville. Proceeds from this event will go toward adopting additional wishes in the communities where Round Table operates.

Link: reuters.comNEW YORK (Reuters Health) - New research suggests that adherence with
daily asthma "controller" medications among children with asthma can be
enhanced with school-based supervised asthma therapy.
Link: Asthma and Allergies Medications
When Should Students With Asthma or Allergies Carry and Self-Administer Emergency Medications at School?
Guidance for Health Care Providers Who Prescribe Emergency Medications.
Link: Asthma
Children of Asian and African descent might be misdiagnosed with asthma because of higher levels of nitric oxide that occur naturally in their breath, according to a new study.
A French study revealed that lactating mice exposed to ovalbumin -- an asthma allergen -- can transmit it to their newborns through their milk, allowing the newborns to develop an immunological tolerance to the allergen. Researchers said the work could lead to the development of new ways to fight allergies.
Link: Children and antibiotics
Children during their first year of life are prescribed antibiotics for many reasons, primarily ear infections and respiratory infections. Many of these illnesses turn out to be viral in nature, and so the antibiotics are unnecessary. Now there may be another reason to avoid antibiotics.
Researchers at the University of British Columbia examined studies of data from more than 12,000 children and 1,800 asthma cases and found that children who took at least once course of antibiotics when they were under one year old were more than twice as likely to develop asthma as children who never took antibiotics.

Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
(CHADD) was founded in 1987 in response to the frustration and sense of
isolation experienced by parents and their children with ADHD. At that
time, one could turn to very few places for support or information. Many
people seriously misunderstood ADHD. Many clinicians and educators knew
little about the disability, and individuals with ADHD were often
mistakenly labeled "a behavior problem," "unmotivated," or "not
intelligent enough."
ADHD is medically and legally recognized as a
treatable yet potentially serious disorder, affecting up to nine percent of all children, and approximately four percent of
Today, children with ADHD are eligible for special education services
or accommodations within the regular classroom when needed, and adults
with ADHD may be eligible for accommodations in the workplace under the
Americans with Disabilities Act. CHADD is a success story, inspired by
the desire of countless parents to see their children with ADHD succeed.
From one parent support group in Florida, the organization grew
dramatically to become the leading non-profit national organization for
children and adults with ADHD.
The organization has a small national staff, which manages the
day-to-day responsibilities, while its Board of Directors sets policy
and oversees the organization's well being. The organization is composed
of dedicated volunteers from around the country who play an integral
part in the association's success by providing support, education and

level through CHADD chapters. Along with its growth in membership and
reputation, CHADD has retained the passion and commitment of its

CHADD has three current priority objectives: (1) to serve as a
clearinghouse for evidence-based information on ADHD, (2) to serve as a
local face-to-face family support group for families and individuals
affected by ADHD, and (3) to serve as an advocate for appropriate public
policies and public recognition in response to needs faced by families
and individuals with ADHD.

Turn your head in any direction and you'll see half a dozen people pushing buttons on a smartphone, round a corner and bump into three others tense with passive-aggressive phone whining, while everyone else is walking and texting. Don't let's even look at what the adjacent drivers are doing with their phones. Meanwhile, up in the rarified air of executive boardrooms Apple is besieged by complaints about the new iPhone 5 at the same time that the Samsung Galaxy S111 gathers accolades and market share. And while these two companies taunt, bicker and sue over what is in the long run really only money, twentieth-century diarist, Anaïs Nin, who would not have known what a smartphone is mumbles in her grave.
"The secret of a full life is to live and relate to others as if they might not be there tomorrow, as if you might not be there tomorrow. ...This thought has made me more and more attentive to all encounters, meetings, introductions, which might contain the seed of depth that might be carelessly overlooked.
"This feeling has become a rarity, and rarer every day now that we have reached a hastier and more superficial rhythm, now that we believe we are in touch with a greater amount of people, more people, more countries. This is the illusion which might cheat us of being in touch deeply with the one breathing next to us. The dangerous time when mechanical voices, radios, telephones, take the place of human intimacies, and the concept of being in touch with millions brings a greater and greater poverty in intimacy and human vision." — The Diary of Anais Nin, Vol. 4, May 1946

Move over, Big Bird — make way for Women in Binders. They're the latest campaign non-issue to go viral — in pro-Obama circles, anyway.
Given Mitt Romney's surging poll numbers — and his blowout on economic issues revealed by CNN's post-debate issues tallies — it's no wonder Democrats seized on what Obama-friendly media gleefully labeled Romney's "blunder."
It was nothing of the sort, of course.
But when you're trying to spin your own candidate's debate performance as a great victory, you need all the help you can get.
Especially when the CNN polls showed Romney outscoring President Obama on the economy (58-40 percent), health care (49-46), taxes (51-44) and the deficit (59-36).
And when those same polls show viewers overwhelmingly — 61-38 percent — rejecting the suggestion that Obama offered "a clear plan for solving the country's problems." (Viewers were evenly split on whether Romney did the same.)
Which is precisely the point Romney made — and quite effectively — during the debate: Take away the speeches, the photo ops and the rhetoric and all you're left with is Obama's record.
Not a pretty sight.
Enter the Women in Binders.
Romney was describing his strenuous efforts as Massachusetts governor to ensure a large number of women in top administration positions — and the reference was to a binder full of résumés he obtained from a Bay State feminist group.
He hired (if you'll excuse us) liberally — and a 2004 study by SUNY-Albany's Center for Women in Government and Civil Society showed that women held fully 10 of the 20 senior positions in the Romney administration.
That was better than any other state.
And while the number later fell, the average during his entire term was 45.1 percent.
In contrast, notes blogger Mary Katharine Ham, the average female state Cabinet membership for the nine current members of the Democratic Governors Association's leadership is only 24 percent.
Obviously, Democrats and their friends don't want a substantive debate over Romney's position on genuine women's issues.
Just as the Big Bird ridicule was an attempt to deflect attention from Romney's substantive stance on wasteful government spending.
Which may explain, as one wag noted, that the infamous binders are now filled with women voters who've begun flocking to Mitt Romney.

text: Hi everyone, Just got Xrumer and it's impressive. I wanted to run it on my dedicated server but it's a linux (doh!). What would be the most affordable option available? I don't need to hammer it too much and probably only need to do 200-400k links each week at max (probably not even that...) Does anyone have a dedicated server they'd be happy to give a bit of hosting space for us to run it? I don't mind having limitations so it doesn't drain too many resources from the main server. Thanks everyone!

When YourCliq creators approached us to put their ideas into paper and make their vision tangible, it soon became clear to us that we had something very special in our hands.
Imagine a social media in which you can create various profiles, and have each one dedicated to a different community of friends. These various selfs never acknowledge each other and experience completely different social interactions with the users.
A platform that allows us to let go our permanent online identity for a while and really focus on specific interests might be liberating and fun, and that's exactly what makes YourCliq unique.
Our challenge became how to make the design and user flow ultra-simple and minimalistic, hence the complex nature of this social media.

Author Spotlight: Paula Rose Michelson
The wife of Lutheran Pastor and Chosen People Ministries field missionary, Ron Michelson, while a Church Ministries Coordinator for the mission her husband serves in, Paula Rose Michelson asked God to gift her something unique to do. Little did she know that hearing David Hocking speak about Zion being both the land of Eretz Yisrael (Israel) and the Jewish people would lead her to research what befell the Spanish Jews (Sephardic) before, during and after the Inquisition.
Beginning to write, word spread and some Sephardim contacted her to offer their stories. However, Naomi had already begun telling this dyslectic artist about her life, which is now a six volume romantic inspirational faith saga.
Other books - both fiction and nonfiction followed - but at her core, Paula's desire to faithfully depict Gods love, compassion, and forgiveness are the reason she continues to write. And having founded LAMB Ministries in 1988, Paula knows that the biblical tools God taught her, which she faithfully passes on to women suffering from trauma and abuse are needed by all, so she includes a few within the pages of each book.

At a time when many communities are wrangling over the development of charter schools and their perceived benefits, it wasn't that long ago when similar arguments were raised about magnet schools. Were such schools establishing a dangerous hierarchy and harmfully segregating a few students from traditional public school education? Or were these hothouse environments ideally geared toward nurturing the best and brightest in various concentrations? In the case of arts magnet schools it became a matter of determining whether or not this was a Band-Aid approach to the draconian cuts arts education has endured over the last 30 years.
These issues could be debated forever, but several cities can point with great pride to the progress made at their arts magnet high schools. And within some of those schools jazz education is thriving. Educators from four such high school-level institutions were asked to provide a clear picture of what transpires within their walls and how their work impacts their community. All are experienced and active performers in addition to their teaching and administrative responsibilities. And each of their institutions operates with similar goals.
JARRARD HARRIS, A SAXOPHONIST and member of Jon Faddis' Chicago Jazz Ensemble, is not only the youngest of our crew of respondents, his four-year-old jazz education component at the Chicago Public Schools Advanced Arts Education program is also the youngest of the four programs we examined. A native of Louisville, Ky., he developed at the University of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.
The 10-year-old Advanced Arts Education program is at 66 Randolph Street in downtown Chicago. "We're strictly arts, so our students will be at their home schools in the morning, and they come down to the Gallery 37 Building from 2-4 p.m. every day. We're a pullout program, so technically we're a Chicago Public Schools program, but we have students that come from all the different high schools," says Harris. "They've always had vocal arts, a heavy visual arts program, dance, theater."
Though his school operates until 4 p.m., Harris says "the kids like to play so much that most of the time we go past that. The public school system provides them with public transportation to get from their school to the gallery building. When they arrive at 2 we just start out playing. We might take a tune like 'Blue Bossa' and listen to the tune, play a couple of different versions of it, talk about different artists' approaches to the tune, [discuss] how not to sound like a play-along record, or how we can be creative with it. An important thing with young kids is having them bring their own musical element to it. So it's like, [how] can you approach the music in a way that your peers might find fresh?
"That's also a big part of the program: peer to peer, going out and playing for other schools. When kids see people their age playing [jazz] they're more apt to dig it, versus if all the time you've got teachers and adults going out and doing performances. If they see their peers play it, [jazz] becomes ten times hipper. So that's a big part of what we do here-go out to different schools and perform."
Harris' jazz class is kept at the manageable level of a smaller ensemble, and he's quick to capitalize on his school's downtown location in Chicago. "We expose [students] to music everywhere possible," he says. "We can walk to the Jazz Showcase, we can walk to Andy's Jazz Club, the Jazz Record Mart. … This year they've started having jam sessions at the Jazz Showcase and students will stick around for that, or if it's a 21-and-up establishment I'll accompany them so they can go to jam sessions, sit in and meet other jazz musicians. That's an important part of their education. Playing, more than the academic study of it, is the most important thing. If you don't learn anything from all the theory that we talk about, you'll learn the most from just playing together all the time and going out and hearing music."
This being only the fourth year of his jazz program at the Advanced Arts Education program, Harris has to play catch-up with his three peer educators in terms of producing illustrious alumni. "My students are all in college right now. Last year I had a drummer named Michael Pilot who was so good he would be his lesson teacher's sub for gigs. You could send him on anybody's gig. We've had about four kids go to Oberlin on scholarship; [another student] is going to the University of Miami where they've started a quintet with scholarships. We have one student going to Berklee, we have a student here at Columbia College, we have students at the University of Illinois-Chicago, a student at Juilliard. Even if the kids don't want to play [post-grad] they'll have a greater appreciation for music."
TRUMPETER BART MARANTZ, DIRECTOR OF JAZZ studies at the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts for the last 26 years, studied at the University of Miami, Indiana University and the New England Conservatory of Music. Marantz studied with David Baker, Jaki Byard, George Russell and Phil Wilson, among others.
Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, the modern update on a historic black community high school of the same name in the Dallas public school system, occupies new and refurbished facilities. "We've been in this building a year and a half now," Marantz says of the 33-year-old arts magnet school. "They refurbished the original building, which is a state landmark, and added a new building and a new theater onto the existing structure."
Marantz's program in Dallas accepts kids from fairly far away. "Some of our outstanding players have come from as far away as Denton or Colleyville, Texas, and these are kids who are taking two trains and a bus every morning to get here for their nine o'clock class," Marantz marvels. "We offer [classes] like jazz improvisation, jazz arranging, jazz keyboard harmony, Jazz Combo 1, Jazz Combo 2 and we do have a vocal division in jazz, the Lab Singers. We have no big band because of attrition," explains Marantz. His feeling is that most of these young musicians' future opportunities will be in combos. "The first seven years I did have a big band. What I used to do was, from the big band I would take out my best players, those who understood styles, texture, dynamics, technique and all the things that make a small group happen, and pull them into the top jazz combo-Jazz Combo 1. And as soon as I could I got rid of that big band, because where are you gonna earn a living playing in a big band today? How many Maria Schneiders are there? I could probably count on one hand our big bands today.
"We've produced 22 albums over the school's history and we've ended up doing a lot of original work. Kids are writing tunes for small group. There are only so many Roy Hargroves who can walk in with a big-band chart in high school," Marantz says, naming one of his illustrious alums. "I probably had three or four kids during those first seven years I was here that wrote for the big band."
Detailing his curriculum, Marantz says, "The Jazz Improvisation course I teach is really three different classes. … On a Monday I can show videos and talk about jazz history; on Wednesdays I'm talking jazz improvisation from a II-V-I, modal, vertical, horizontal and patternistic standpoint, and getting these kids listening to bebop and having them understand that, at a slow tempo, they can accomplish this wonderful music and grow into it."
Marantz, who averages 20-25 students studying jazz out of a music department that totals 200-225, finds no shortage of after-school opportunities for his in-demand combos, including playing a significant role in his school's successful capital campaign. Says Marantz, "They built this [new addition] with the intention of having more kids and having a state-of-the-art institution. They had to raise $30 million-plus locally. … And who did they rely on? They relied on these kids who play jazz and commercial music. They would have jazz pianists, jazz trios, the jazz combo. … So the jazz and commercial music was the way these funds were raised. On top of that, when they had their [grand opening], who did they bring in? They brought in [alums] Roy Hargrove, Norah Jones, Erykah Badu and Edie Brickell-that's all jazz and commercial music. In many cases the jazz ensemble is the one that feeds financially the rest of the [music] department. We bring in thousands of dollars a year."
In addition to Hargrove, Jones, Badu and Brickell, Marantz points proudly to his sons Matt and Luke Marantz, both BTW grads currently emerging professionally. His program has produced young musicians who've shared bandstands ranging from Ray Charles, Kirk Whalum and Kirk Franklin to Cedar Walton, Pat Martino and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Additionally, Hargrove and Badu have drawn from BTW alums for their bands.
MICHAEL PELLERA, CHAIR OF THE JAZZ DEPARTMENT at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA), is a pianist by trade who has performed with a broad range of musicians, including Chet Baker, Dave Liebman, Wynton Marsalis and Buddy Rich, and such Crescent City musicians as Tony Dagradi, Johnny Vidacovich, Bill Summers and Phillip Manuel.
The New Orleans Center for Creative Arts is a jewel of the otherwise beleaguered New Orleans Public School system. "[NOCCA] is a bright new star that has a good reputation," Pellera says of the sparkling facility located in the city's Bywater neighborhood.
NOCCA is an arts adjunct for talented New Orleans area students. "They come to us half a day; we begin our classes at 1:15," says Pellera. There have been talks about making the program into a full academic school, but like many things in New Orleans those talks were shelved in the budget-slashing wake of Hurricane Katrina.
At NOCCA, "All the jazz students take what we call applied classes, which are combo/jazz improvisation classes. They start out taking three levels of college-level music theory," explains Pellera. "We would be doing them a disservice if we weren't offering college-level music theory, so we take that very serious. In recent years we've broken it up to theory and musicianship, [which] is more of the ear training, dictation, sight-singing variety." One program that appears to be unique to NOCCA is what Pellera describes as their "performance class," which meets on Fridays. "Some Fridays it will be just jazz students performing. We have three divisions of music, [including] classical instrumental and classical voice. Every other Friday we have the whole music department together giving a very organized recital, so they're performing quite a bit. We break our weekly program into two programs: The first one goes from 1:15-3:45, then we have other students that come in from 4-6," Pellera explains.
NOCCA is flexible as far as assembling a big band. "We don't always have a full big band. We tend to concentrate more on combos," says Pellera. "It's easy to hide behind a big band because kids love the power of being in a big band and playing in an ensemble, and a lot of kids aren't really that motivated to improvise. Your individual talent is what's going to carry you. The days are over when you're gonna get a job with Stan Kenton or Buddy Rich. Sometimes on Friday I do this thing we call 'house band,' where you get a trio to play a couple of pieces and you just call people up and they're supposed to get up there, turn around to the band and call a tune, turn around to the audience and announce the tune and do it. The parents will be there, everybody in the department will be there, and we just really stress that it's going to be about your individual talent. We spend a lot of time on their stage presence and being comfortable in their own skin. I hate to say it, but New Orleans musicians tend to have a reputation for not being good readers and sloppy ensemble players, but we're working on that."
Being in New Orleans offers NOCCA the relatively unique resource of a community where music is deep in the DNA, where kids are encouraged to take up instruments early and often become professionals at an earlier age than in most communities. "We are living in a thriving music culture," agrees Pellera, "and some kids come out of the church. We had two kids come in last year who were already playing in a brass band, just ninth graders. I've found that you show these kids a little phrase or something and they just play it with so much more confidence than maybe someone else would play it, because they're in that kind of boisterous atmosphere. There's so many musical families [in New Orleans], people related to each other, this kind of mentor relationship … so it is unique. I wouldn't say a large percentage of our kids are like that, but maybe 15-20 percent are coming to the table that have already played some kind of rhythmic music. So if you say, 'This is jazz,' they can keep a beat, they're used to communicating music. Not everybody can do that, even someone who has practiced a lot-they can't communicate music."
Pellera's school boasts staggering alumni, including the Marsalis brothers, Donald Harrison, Harry Connick Jr. and Nicholas Payton. "Our most recent grad who is starting to make some waves is [pianist] Jonathan Batiste," a young man with an old soul, as comfortable with Jelly Roll Morton and Professor Longhair as he is with McCoy Tyner. Another NOCCA grad to listen out for is the very promising young drummer Joseph Dyson, currently studying at Berklee, and a regular member of Harrison's Congo Nation.
"Joseph could be the next Brian Blade," says Pellera. "He has almost the same background as Brian, and his father's a preacher." Be on the lookout also for NOCCA grad and pianist Sullivan Fortner, who spent the summer on the road with Hargrove.
DISTRICT NATIVE DAVEY YARBOROUGH, CHAIR of instrumental music at Duke Ellington School for the Arts in Washington, D.C., is a graduate of the University of the District of Columbia. As a saxophonist and flutist he studied under Sonny Stitt and Frank Wess. Yarborough and his wife, the vocalist Esther Williams, are building the Washington Jazz Arts Institute, in part as a farm system for his work at the Ellington School.
What had been the Project for the Arts was renamed Duke Ellington School for the Arts in 1974, the year Duke passed. "Western HS," located in Georgetown, "decided to change its name and the arts program moved in," says Yarborough, who was hired for the 1977-78 school year as a student teacher. "I went back and started as a
counselor in 1984 and became band director in 1986." Ellington and Booker T. Washington are both full-time, full-curriculum high schools.
Yarborough's Ellington School program-befitting its namesake-still operates a traditional big band, which is compelled in part by the size of his student body. "In the jazz program I usually have somewhere between 40-60 students. The jazz program is more than just the jazz orchestra. I have a program five days a week where I work with students who are interested in playing jazz and learning jazz but are not necessarily in the jazz orchestra at that time; those classes run up to 35 kids, where the jazz orchestra program is maximum 26 and averages anywhere from 16-20. I have several small jazz ensembles and I teach a jazz theory class for the ones who are interested in the chord changes, arranging or even doing some composing.
"I'm a native of D.C. and I've watched this evolve and that's one reason this was so palatable to me," says Yarborough. "The school system is built on having one band director, and that band director has to do everything: They have to do classical, they have to do the orchestra, they have to do marching band, they have to do jazz band. … So they can't really dedicate enough time; they have to rely on students being able to take private lessons or being involved in other programs in order to get the most study. That's one reason I do the theory class and the ensembles at 7:30 in the morning, so that kids who are interested in jazz have enough time. … We have a dual curriculum, a full academic as well as the arts curriculum, where we have eight different disciplines."
Yarborough is developing the Washington Jazz Arts Institute (WJAI) in part as a feeder program for Ellington School. "It's also an enrichment program for the kids who are currently at Ellington. It actually grew out of the need of being able to isolate and locate kids at a younger age to have them prepared for the D.E. audition, so that we could get them at a stronger rate and take them further. What I wanted to do with the WJAI is that once kids knew they wanted to pursue music, jazz in particular, they would have a support system.
"Right now [WJAI is] serving kids that are 11, 12 on up to about 21-22. We have a Sunday program that starts in October and ends in April and goes from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at People's Congregational Church, and we have a five-week summer program." WJAI is in a vigorous capital campaign to build its own facility right on the church grounds.
Yarborough has seen his share of Ellington graduates go on to prominence, including Wallace and Antoine Roney, Marc Cary, Ellington Orchestra member Chuck Royal and bassist Amin Saleem. "Ben Williams is currently at Juilliard in grad school; bass player Corcoran Holt is now living and working in New York, and Eric Wheeler is still living in town and working everywhere."
ONE OF MANY COMMON THREADS BETWEEN EACH of these programs is the influence and assistance provided by the Thelonious Monk Institute, especially its jazz education ambassador J.B. Dyas. NOCCA's New Orleans locale affords an opportunity to have some of the Monk Institute's visiting masters drop by from its graduate studies program at Loyola, and Monk grad students often have teaching assignments at NOCCA. The Monk Institute enables Harris' Chicago program to provide free lessons for his students with any jazz artist in the city they'd like to study with. Last year his kids went on a Monk-supported trip to Salt Lake City with alto saxophonist Antonio Hart to do peer-to-peer performances at schools. And the Monk Institute has provided master classes for Duke Ellington School students.
While observers have long lamented the severe loss of instrumental music in education today, these arts magnet schools and others like them are becoming pillars of public school systems across the country. Hopefully other systems will use such stalwarts as Harris, Marantz, Pellera and Yarborough and their schools as examples for the programs they're building.

I'm afraid to tell you it probably doesn't exist or it will change as your needs or lifestyle alters but here are a few tips to help you make the decision about the transport to carry the most important people in your lives.<
Many families put as much thought into choosing a double pushchair as they do into selecting the make and model of a new car! And for good reason as when you have multiples. A double buggy is a crucial piece of equipment. Your mobility depends on it. Without one -- or with the wrong one -- moving twin babies from place to place can be a logistical nightmare. The right equipment makes for happy parents and children.
Double Pushchairs come in two basic configurations: tandem (or front/back. inline) where the seats are arranged in a line with one behind the other. In the other model, usually called "side-by-side", the children sit next to each other generally facing the same direction from the same linear position. Prams generally come facing towards you but some models can be changed as the children grow to facing outwards. There are now some very good and innovative models for doubles but it is best to understand how you are going to use it before making this important purchase.
Try out models in all styles to evaluate which you feel most comfortable with. Some families realise the need for more than one style for instance a more robust sturdy model for country activities and a more compact stroller for town and travel. Talk to other parents about their experience with different models your local multiples club is a great resource for this kind of information.
You'll also find some helpful input from our store where we have a full range of double prams buggies and doubles to suit every need and pocket with personal advice is only a phone call away.
Factors to Consider Before Buying
1. Common Usage Patterns
By far the most important consideration when selecting a double is your personal usage patterns. Think long and hard about how you will actually use this equipment. Put aside dreamy notions of leisurely strolls with your cooing infants and focus on the reality of your family life.
How often will you use it? daily? weekly? infrequently?
Where will you use it? Indoors shopping malls. leisure centres. Outdoors trips to local shops. park or further afield ?
Where do you live ? Flat. House. with stairs. storage space ?
Do you have a car ? Do you have a garage ? Do you travel often? Will you need to store it in your car or do you rely on public transportation?
Evaluating your potential usage patterns will help you shape your decision about what kind of double to buy. Once you get an idea in your mind about how you'll use the double consider these other factors.
2. Weight
Doubles constructed of metal are more stable and durable. However, metal doubles weigh much more than their plastic counterparts. and are usually more expensive. Heavier doubles are sturdier last longer and can carry heavier -- and thus older -- children. But they can also be so troublesome to manoeuver and set up that they aren't worth the investment.
3. Size
How big is the double when folded up? Will it fit in your vehicle? How big is it when unfolded? Will it fit on pavements. through doorways. down store aisles? You may want to measure your doorways before you buy to ensure it will at least fit through your doors (last thing you want to do is wake sleeping twins by struggling to get it through the door I had to have patio doors installed !)
4. Accessories
Baskets, footmuffs, carrycots, bumpers, storage, canopies, hand rails, bag clips, drink holders, snack trays. & Some of these options are necessary, some are nice to have, but others are just frivolous features. Let accessories be the deciding factor only if you're torn between two comparable models.
5.Seat Adjustments
If your babies will be sleeping frequently in the double. they may be more comfortable in a seat that reclines. Some double seats recline completely flat. while others only allow for a slight angle. This is a common complaint about many tandem doubles as on some models both seats do not go into a full recline position and leg room can also be an issue. Some side-by-side models have independently reclining seats. however others require that both babies sit at the same incline. For newborn twins. it is important to have fully reclining seats. Carrycot options on some models are available and this can make a cosy environment for newborn twins although they come at a cost !
6. All-Terrain Options
If you will be doing a lot of outdoor walking or running.& look for safety features like oversized wheels. all-terrain tyres. deep seats. locking brakes and a safety wrist strap. Special doubles. with a large wheel base designed for jogging. running. or athletic walking. are available in twin and triplet seating configurations. These have become very popular in the last few years and in particular the 3-wheeled types that are great on rougher terrain and have good manoueverability.
7. Manoeuverability
How well a double manoeuvers is certainly subject to personal opinion. However there are some basic features that will make any double easier to push and turn. Look for swivel wheels (best for indoor use like shopping malls). ergonomic handles that are at a comfortable level for your height. and a stable wheel base that prevents the double from tipping as you turn corners. Locakable wheels are better for rougher terrain but are also& suitable for town shopping.
The best way to determine whether a double will operate comfortably is to physically push it around and test it out. The value of doing so can not be underestimated. Just as you wouldn't buy a car without a test drive. you shouldn't expect to find the perfect double without one. Unfortunately. all the models may not be avialable on your local high street and you can call to discuss you needs and receive independent advice.
8. Infant Seats
A relatively new and inventive advancement in the baby equipment market are the all-in-one transportation systems that incorporate car seats and baby carriers with a double design. Recently. this concept has been extended to doubles and may be useful for parents of multiples. Keep in mind the limitations. however. While it is convenient to be able to transport babies from car to double without removing them from their carrier. the lifespan of the double extends far beyond the lifespan of the carriers. Make sure you're not investing a lot of money in a product that will only serve your needs during infancy.
Also. remember that the recommended time a baby should spend in a car seat should be no more than 2 hours. so you should bear this in mind when considering a Travel System option.
9. Cost
Some doubles for multiples can cost upwards of 600. Most range from 200 - 400. Cost is certainly an important factor. Carefully consider how much you want to spend. A double is definitely a vital piece of equipment during your babies' early years. but its lifespan is limited to a few years at most.
Your transportation needs will shift somewhat as your children grow from infancy to toddler-hood. and you may not want to invest a lot of money in a product that won't serve your needs over the years. An experienced mum advises. "It is very hard to visualise and plan for the obsolesence of baby things. It just happens so quickly. You are thinking. 'We can use this double for years.' and the reality is that most people barely get the seat cover dirty when their children are walking and refuse to ride." Consider buying two -- or more -- less expensive models that serve different needs. for example. an all-terrain 3-wheeler for walks to the park and a tandem or stroller to keep in the car for errands or to nip to the shops.
Used doubles are always a hot commodity. Consult your local multiples club to find great deals on used equipment. Don't compromise just to get a good price. however doubles receive a lot of wear and tear. Make sure all latches. hinges. brakes. belts and other safety features are intact and that any wear won't affect the operation of the double.
Although you'll find plenty of eager buyers. don't expect to resell an expensive double and recoup your initial investment. Used doubles usually go for about one-third of their original price.
10. Order Early !
Don't forget that shops will order to your expected due date. I would advise that you consider bringing the date forward for delivery of your pram/buggy to ensure it arrives in plenty of time. Order to Delivery time varies from supplier to supplier but if you leave 6-8 weeks then this should be ample to ensure you have your pram/buggy and have had a chance to 'test' it before your babies arrive.

Twin Baby Carriers & Twins Slings - Parents of twins love the opportunity of carrying their twin babies in a special twin baby carrier or twin sling, not least because it makes them feel close by at all times and you can keep a careful watch on your twinfants. As you can also be hands-free, this means you can continue doing your daily tasks with ease, knowing your twins are safely beside you. Most twin babies like carriers and slings too, as they have constant close contact with their parents which can be very comforting. But in order for carriers and slings to be successful. you do need to take note of safety issues and ensure you use them properly. Front Twin Carriers Versus Twin Slings Slings are constructed from a wide piece of fabric that is worn across the torso and s

"Ethics As Possibility," Part 3, and conclusion of an Aesthetic Realism Class given by Eli Siegel; reported on by Michael Palmer
In the final part of this great class, Mr. Siegel showed that what Ibsen was dealing with as drama--the large, ethical battle between telling the truth and lying--was being fought out dramatically in America at that time, October, 1969. He read what he called "an important article" in the Washington Post, titled, "Casual Willingness to Lie, Important Lesson of [Green] Berets" by Joseph Kraft. Our country was in the midst of the brutally ugly, unjust Vietnam war, trying to impose profit economics on the Vietnamese people, who wanted to own their land in a different way. There was growing objection in America to what we were doing, and just five days after this class, on October 15, 1969, many Americans would be taking part in a huge demonstration and march in Washington and elsewhere, called "The Vietnam Moratorium." Mr. Siegel, who was passionate in his opposition to this war from its beginnings, calling it the most unethical war in American history, said of the Kraft article: "Yesterday, a victory against falsity and the lie appeared in the Washington Post--the clearest statement about the lie on which the Vietnam War is based."
About that lie, he asked:
"Is it possible for people honestly to get to a kind of government that is not the same as private enterprise as a way of life? Is it possible or does it all have to be fomented by agitators?....It's gone on and made for more pain than people realize....Korea had to do with this, Cuba, Guatemala, Indonesia. It has a long history based on the lie--that no person would want industry owned in common. "
He read portions of the article about the effort by U.S government officials to cover up the killing in Vietnam by a special elite force of the U-S Army, the "Green Berets." Former Ambassador Robert Komer is quoted as saying about the false report he wrote on the war: "I was asked to show progress. I wasn't asked to show the dark side."
"I use the word lie," said Mr. Siegel. "The lie is a personal thing, but occasionally it's a national means." And with historic perspective, he described the big lie that anything other than profit economics is against democracy....":
I was tremendously moved by what Mr. Siegel said as he concluded this historic lecture. He said: "There are possibilities of people wanting to be friendly to other people, thinking really that the skies and the waters and the land have a right to be cared for, and in a deep sense had, owned, by all the people." And he said, of Americans about to state their ethical objection: "October 15th will be a great day because it will be said (in the Moratorium), with Hedda Gabler somewhere present, that we have given too much credence to the lie."
Now in 2004, with Americans increasingly objecting as we see startling and horrendous evidence of lying in various places, the need for Aesthetic Realism and how it sees ethics is more urgent than ever.

Former St. Elizabeth High football star Dave Douglas III has transferred and will play his senior season at Oakland High.
Douglas' father, Dave Jr., was hospitalized earlier this year and said he was later diagnosed with diabetes. The associated costs put a strain on the family budget.
"With the costs of the medication, we could no longer afford the tuition," the elder Douglas said. "That's why we ended up enrolling in the Oakland Unified School District, and they placed him at Oakland High because we live in that district."
Douglas, a running back/safety who already owns four scholarship offers, was the leading rusher at St. Elizabeth with more than 1,100 yards last year. As a sophomore, he was limited by injury to just six games but still totaled 867 yards and led the Mustangs to the North Coast Section Class B title.
The younger Douglas said it was tough to leave St. Elizabeth, but he's excited for the challenge of playing in the Oakland Athletic League with the defending regular season tri-champions.
"I appreciate everything Coach (Fred) Sims and the St. Elizabeth family has done," Douglas III said. "I'm looking forward to tag-teaming with (Wildcat stars) Damante Horton, Charles Cobbs and Earl Harris."
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Douglas has offers from Fresno State, San Diego State, Cal Poly and Army and has drawn interest from the Pac-10. The point guard also expects to play on the Wildcats basketball team.

text: There are different Dodge Headlights for every model. This is one of the cosmetic parts the owner of the Dodge can replace themselves. Usually, the only time a headlight and lens will need to be replaced is if it was damaged in an accident or by vandalism. When ordering this type of auto part, you should first know just what you need. The difference between the headlight and lens is simple: the headlight is an assembly that contains a back housing, gasket, bulbs, and lens; while the lens is just the clear portion in the front that protects the bulbs. The only positive way to determine just what your car requires so it can look like new again is to remove this component from the vehicle. Once the old headlight is removed, a close inspection of this part has to be done. You are looking for small or large cracks, pieces or sections missing. This has to include where the screws are located. It does not make practical sense to just replace a lens if it cannot be properly mounted and secured into place on your Dodge car or truck. After this close inspection of your Dodge headlight assembly, you will know just what you need so the order can be correct when it is made. This can be at your local auto parts store or online. Once you receive your new headlight assembly or individual parts, it should be replaced in the reverse order you took them off of your Dodge in. This will make the appearance of your vehicle to look like new again allow for the lights to function as they were intended too. When assembling this component, make sure to check the light bulbs to ensure they are in proper working order before completing the installation.

To crown the whole messy situation up, most people will quit because of hunger.
In this quick tips to lose weight, we will see:
- How to reduce your appetite
- how to significantly lose weight quick, without starvation.
1. Cut down your sugar and starchy food intake
The number one thing you should consider is cutting back on those food to high with carbohydrates.
Science reveals that these foods are the main stimulants of the secretion of insulin.
- Insulin is the storage hormone for fats.
If the there is a low amount of insulin in the body, it becomes more easier for fat to get out of the fat store so that the body starts burning fats and not carbohydrates.
It is very possible that you can lose up to 10 pounds or more in the first week you start eating in this way. The evident will reflect on water weight and body weight.
Conclusion on lowering intake of sugar and starch - Removing carbs from your diet will lower your insulin levels, kill your appetite and make you lose weight without starvation.
2. Eat Fats, Vegetables and Proteins.
Sources of Protein:
- Meat – Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, bacon, etc.
- Fish and Seafood – Salmon, trout, shrimps, lobsters, etc.
Experts says high protein diets can reduce obsessive thoughts for food by about 60% and reduce desire for late-night snacking by half.
When it comes to losing weight, protein is your best option.
Low-Carb Vegetables:
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Spinach
- Kale
- Brussels Sprouts
- Cabbage
- Swiss Chard
- Lettuce
- Cucumber
- Celery
Fat Sources:
- Olive oil
- Coconut oil
- Avocado oil
- Butter
- Tallow
- Assemble each meal out of a protein source, a fat source and a low-carb vegetable. This will put you into the 20-50 gram carb range and drastically lower your insulin levels.
3. Lift Weights 3 Times Per Week
You don't really need to exercise to lose weight on this plan, but it is also recommended.
The best option is to go to the gym 3-4 times a week. Do a warm up, lift weights, then stretch.
If you're new to the gym, ask a trainer for some advice.
If lifting weights is not an option for you, then doing some easier cardio workouts like running, jogging, swimming or walking will suffice.
Bottom Line: It is best to do some sort of resistance training like weight lifting. If that is not an option, cardio workouts work too.
Weight Loss Tips to Make Losing Weight Easier and FasterHere are 10 more tips to lose weight even faster:
- Eat a high-protein breakfast.
- Avoid sugary drinks and fruit juice.
- Drink water a half hour before meals.
- Choose weight loss-friendly foods
- Eat soluble fiber.
- Drink coffee or tea.
- Eat mostly whole, unprocessed foods.
- Eat your food slowly.
- Use smaller plates.
- Get a good night's sleep, every night.
Bottom Line: It is most important to stick to the three rules, but there are a few other things you can do to speed things up.
Don't Starve Yourself In Order to Lose Weight
If you have a medical condition then talk to your doctor before making changes because this plan can reduce your need for medication.
By reducing carbs and lowering insulin levels, you change the hormonal environment and make your body and brain "want" to lose weight.
This leads to drastically reduced appetite and hunger, eliminating the main reason that most people fail with conventional weight loss methods.
