Wonderful violin music and playing with Barton and Clement Violin Concerto
By Gianluca La Villa on October 12, 2008
Format: Audio CD
Rachel Barton Pine, a talented American young violinist, has done one of the best violin recordings I ever listend to, restating the forgotten Franz Clement Violin Concerto in D major (composed in 1805).
Clement was the dedicatee of Beethoven Violin Concerto, and for good!
The concerto is anterior to Beethoven's (which is of 1806) and many lines of it constituted an evident model for Beethoven score.
The last movement instead reminds us of the last movement of a famous Schubert Sonatina, composed by the way in 1816! This cast a good light on the prestige and reputation of Clement's playing and composing amidst his contemporaries now more famous than he is.
This music is particularly beautiful, and this concerto stands between the best ever written for the instrument.
I must say that also the Royal Philharmonic shows at its peak, and the direction by José Serebrier is simply masterful, in keeping a powerful though smooth sound and giving space to all the harmonic resources of both the instruments and the score.
Thank you Miss Barton for this unforgettable performance!

Beethoven's towering Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 61, has always seemed an isolated phenomenon -- so different from the other violin concertos of its era -- until now . . .
On Beethoven & Clement Violin Concertos, American violinist Rachel Barton Pine ("a magnetically imaginative artist" --Gramophone), with Jose Serebrier and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, presents the world premiere recording of the exquisite 1805 Violin Concerto in D Major by Franz Clement -- the Viennese virtuoso for whom Beethoven wrote his own concerto a year later. Recently rescued from obscurity by enterprising British musicologist Clive Brown, this delightful work offers new insights into the Beethoven: according to Brown, "Individual figurations in Beethoven's Violin Concerto . . . appear to allude directly to passages in Clement's concerto."
Rachel Barton Pine is the ideal interpreter for these two late-Classical era gems. After a recent performance of the Beethoven concerto in New England, a newspaper critic raved, "Pine played Beethoven's music with profound regard for every brick of its architecture and every beat of its heart." She applies the same level of insight to the concerto by the violinist who inspired Beethoven's piece, superbly supported by London's renowned Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and acclaimed Maestro Jose Serebrier.
Rachel Barton Pine talks about the Beethoven and Clement violin concertos
September 9, 2008 at 8:34 PM
Just a few months ago, Rachel Barton Pine talked with us about life as a touring musician, Maud Powell, and funky fiddles like the rebec. Since then she's been touring and teaching, and she even offered up her own version of Cowboys from Hell for the metal-heads among us. ;-)
Today Rachel releases her new album, featuring the Beethoven and Clement concertos for violin. Here she fills us in on the very well-known Beethoven, the lesser-known Clement, and the relationship between the two. (By the way, we'll be having a little contest to give away Rachel's CD next week, so stay tuned!
Rachel Barton Pine's new album
Laurie Niles: Tell us about your new album!
Rachel Barton Pine: My new album is the Beethoven violin concerto, paired with the world premiere recording of the violin concerto by Franz Clement, who was Beethoven's dedicatee. What's fascinating about it is that both concertos were written for the same annual benefit concert for the orchestra where Clement served as concert master, exactly one year apart. Clement's came first. It's in the same key, it's the same length, the same instrumentation and the same aesthetic approach to the violin as Beethoven's concerto.
Beethoven is positioned almost equidistant from Mozart and Mendelssohn, in terms of musical time periods. But we really don't hear many concertos from the time of Beethoven, except, very rarely, maybe a Rode, Kreutzer -- some of the French violin school, which was a very different aesthetic. The French aesthetic was much more full-blooded, very much more flashy in its virtuosity, much more the idea of the soloist playing the melody line at all times with the orchestra being much more complementary.
Clement's concerto, however, has all those characteristics with which we associate Beethoven's. The violin solo part plays very much in the upper registers of the instrument, with very delicate figurations. Actually, it has many of the exact same figurations as Beethoven's concerto.
Laurie Niles: And the Clement came before the Beethoven?
Rachel Barton Pine: Clement's concerto came one year earlier. It was actually premiered the same night Beethoven's Eroica Symphony was premiered.
By the way, that story about Clement, that he supposedly played his violin upside down in between the first and second movements of Beethoven's concerto when he gave the world premiere performance -- that's an urban legend. I've seen it repeated in almost every program, when I've performed at Beethoven. But Clement didn't play his own composition in the middle of Beethoven's concerto; he didn't play his own composition till the second half of the concert that night. I don't know how that story got started, but the fact that everybody accepts it as fact does kind of a disservice to Clement, portraying him as sort of a vaudeville violinist.
It's very clear, looking at his concerto, that he was a serious artist. His violin concerto certainly has a number of virtuosic elements, but it's clearly written as music for the sake of music, not showing off for the sake of showing off. This was very different from the French school. Also, the orchestral instruments play the melody a lot of the time, with the soloist playing descant. This is something that we consider so radical in Beethoven's concerto, but in fact, Clement did it a year earlier. It's fascinating to realize how Beethoven was so obviously influenced by the particular violinist (Clement) for whom he was writing.
For another example, look at Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata. In fact, the Kreutzer was premiered by George Bridgetower, together with Beethoven. The original dedication actually was to Bridgetower. In my Black music research, I've read everything there is to read about Bridgetower, for whom the sonata was actually written. It really should be the Bridgetower Sonata; Kreutzer never even played the thing! But Beethoven ultimately withdrew the dedication to Bridgetower and slapped Kreutzer's name on the Sonata No. 9, and now we don't even remember that Bridgetower existed.
If you read the old accounts from, for example, ladies' diaries, members of the aristocracy who used to go to his concerts when Bridgetower was a young artist, they all talk about what an amazing technician Bridgetower was, and how much intensity there was in his playing. This is exactly what you hear in the Kreutzer Sonata. If you read accounts about Clement's playing, they talk about his refinement and delicacy. This is exactly what you hear in Beethoven's concerto.
Laurie Niles: Interesting.
Rachel Barton Pine: Then we have Clement's concerto to make it even more obvious. Of course, Beethoven had his own very individual voice in everything he wrote, but also he very obviously tailored what he was writing to who was going to be playing it. The score to Clement's concerto was only recently published a couple of years ago by AR Editions. In his forward to the published score, the musicologist (Clive Brown) who pieced it together from the original source actually lists all the concordances. (Brown) also wrote the liner notes to my CD.
There's a long standing theory that the rondo theme of Beethoven's last movement was actually written by Clement. Some people say that that must be so because it's a more lightweight melody then what Beethoven himself would have written. But why shouldn't Beethoven also write a catchy tune? Why should everything he compose be full of Sturm und Drang?
On the other hand, maybe there is something to that story, because if you look at the theme to the last-movement rondo of Clement's D Major Violin Concerto, it's very similar. But does that mean that Clement wrote Beethoven's theme? Or does that mean that Beethoven wrote his theme based on wanting to write something that sounded like Clement? It's either one or the other, and both are equally exciting, because one realizes that they had such a close collaboration.
All historical interest aside, the Clement concerto is a very worthy piece in its own right, completely separate from its relationship to Beethoven and his concerto. If you didn't know anything about any of that musicological stuff and you just heard it as a piece of classical period music you've never heard before, you'd say, "Oh this is a gorgeous piece." It can definitely stand on its own two feet. Of course, it's not a Beethoven, but I would say that it's every bit as good as everything else from the time that also wasn't Beethoven. It's really a great piece.
Also, I wrote my own cadenzas for both concertos. I'm especially excited to be able to share my cadenzas to the Beethoven.
Laurie Niles: Are you going to make them available to other violinists? Put them online maybe?
Rachel Barton Pine: Nothing's been finalized yet, but I'm working on publishing a collection of all of my cadenzas and encores. I've written a number of virtuoso pieces, following in the tradition of Vieuxtemps and Ernst and those guys, and I've also composed cadenzas to Brahms, Beethoven, Paganini, Mozart, etc. I've now written enough stuff that enough people have asked for various ones. So I feel like it's time to go ahead and publish a collection of them.

BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand's latest round of political turmoil has prompted the army to declare martial law, once again propelling into international headlines a colorful country known for its beaches and pagodas, spicy food and nightlife, and relative prosperity in a developing region. Here's a look in closer focus at some of Thailand's significance:
Thailand's turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, serene Buddhist temples and piquant nightlife have made it one of the world's top tourist destinations. Even in times of crisis, it lives up to its nickname, "The Land of Smiles." Martial law Thai-style means tourists can take home souvenir selfies with smiling soldiers. It's too soon to say if the martial law imposed Tuesday will scare off future visitors. Political turmoil that started in 2006 has hit the tourism industry in waves, each time bringing dire predictions that the kingdom's allure for foreigners may be harmed. But each time it recovers, and its beaches, jungles, spas and urban malls soon swarm again. Annual arrivals reached an all-time high of 26.7 million in 2013, a 20 percent increase from the 22 million a year earlier. Movies set in Thailand, including "The Hangover Part II" of 2011, have added to the appeal. The wildly popular 2012 Chinese film "Lost in Thailand" introduced the country, its scenery and its transgender people known as "ladyboys" to China's public and made Thailand all the rage for its increasingly globe-trotting travelers. A regional traffic hub for Southeast Asia, the Thai capital Bangkok has one of the Asia's busiest international airports.
Thailand's openness to foreign investment and tourism has provided a model of development for other developing nations and helped power its rise to the sixth biggest economy in Asia. Significant investments in manufacturing by global corporations have broadened the economy beyond its agricultural base and added to its resilience. Though dwarfed in the region by giants such as China and India, Thailand is a crucial player in several industries. It has long been known as one of the world's top producers of rice, sugar and rubber. Less well known is its technology role, with about 40 percent of computer hard drives manufactured in the country. It's also a production base for automakers such as GM and Toyota and now makes about 3 percent of all vehicles. A notorious downside of the country's rapid economic and financial development was its role in spawning the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s that rippled around the world.
The country's recent political turmoil has eroded its position of recent decades as a leader and exemplar of democracy among a lineup of Southeast Asian governments that include Vietnam's Communist Party-controlled state, Singapore's authoritarian one-party rule and Brunei's absolute monarchy. Thailand's army, which declared martial law again Tuesday, has always played a major role in politics, seizing power at least 11 times in the last century. The country is technically a constitutional monarchy under 86-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world's longest reigning monarch. Thailand was a staunchly anti-communist ally of the U.S. during the Cold War. The Thais pride themselves over never having been colonized.
Thailand's most high-profile cultural export is its food, with its hot, chili-fired spiciness and lemongrass and kaffir lime tanginess. Thai restaurants are popular from Bangalore to Berlin to Baltimore, and for countless people in the West, Thai has become the new Chinese when choosing a cuisine from the Far East. Thai food first became widely known globally in the 1960s when the country started becoming a destination for international tourists and U.S. troops during the Vietnam war; it has benefited from government promotional campaigns in recent decades. Nowadays, higher-end supermarkets in most countries stock key Thai ingredients from coconut milk to the ginger-like root galangal. Thai cuisine shares the imperative common among some Southeast Asian cuisines to get the right balance of five kinds of taste sensations: sour, sweet, salty, bitter and spicy.

This is another annual tradition. These are million dollar homes, and most set up the most amazing display of lights and decorations you have ever seen. It has become somewhat of a commotion over the years, city police now direct traffic through. BUT, we can also bundle the kids and walk the route. It is TRULY amazing! We can tote them in wagons or strollers; the older kids can walk, and you will be treated to caroling, tamales, and hot chocolate along the way. The main thing I have to figure out is where we would meet to park ( I know there is a church a few blocks away) and then can trek on from there. If you have not been, you will (and the kids) be truly amazed. There are decorated golf carts, horse-drawn carriage rides, and many jolly home-owners to meet along the way. I will solidify all meet details before-hand. * IF you do not like crowds this may not be for you, as it gets quite crowded, but WELL worth it truly! Otherwise, if we want to drive the route, carpooling definitely, and it will be quite a wait to drive through. IF anyone might be interested in securing a Limo and sharing the cost, I MAY have a contact. Let me know.

The peacock network booked $1 billion to $1.2 billion in business, about half its projected total take of $2.3 billion, executives familiar with the deals said.
In what could be a sign the ad market is poised for recovery, buyers and sellers now say the network broadcast prime-time upfront could reach $7.5 billion. That compares to early estimates of $7.1 billion, and to last year's $6.8 billion haul.
"The money has exceeded anyone's expectations," said one network ad sales executive. "Every network is feeling like it's in a good position."
Reluctant to gamble
Advertisers are spending more in the upfront because they are reluctant to gamble -- as many did last year -- on a soft scatter market, in part because a dearth of network inventory has raised prices significantly in the current quarter.
NBC put the market in motion May 30 after marketers in several categories -- led by movie studios and import-auto marketers -- "registered" their budgets with the network. Advertisers provide
After NBC, News Corp.'s Fox was said to be the most aggressive in cutting deals, followed by more cautious CBS, with Walt Disney Co.'s ABC bringing up the rear.
NBC is said to be striking deals with healthy 8% to 10% increases in CPMs, the cost per thousand viewers. The network is also cutting morning and daytime upfront deals already; those markets usually follow the prime time upfront.
Fox booked 40% of inventory
Fox was said to have booked about 40% of its inventory at press time, with CPM increases of 5% to 6%. "They are trying to stay as close as possible to NBC," said one media-buying executive. Fox's total could reach $1.3 billion.
Viacom's CBS, which could hit $1.9 billion in sales, is said to be moving more deliberately as it holds out for higher CPM gains of 9% to 11%, in part because the network's programming is now drawing a younger audience more desired by advertisers. CBS took a risk last year when it held inventory out of the upfront to sell in the scatter market, a move that
Struggling ABC was said to be asking for CPM increases of just 4% to 5%, although buyers said the network was doing deals for less than that. Its total sales are anticipated to be $1.3 billion. At press time, the network was 40% to 50% sold out.
About-face from last year
The overall strength of the market is an about-face from last year's upfront, when dollars declined 16% to $6.8 billion and CPMs fell by as much as 9%-the first network price cuts in a decade.
Movie studios were said to have jumped quickly into this year's upfront market after they were forced to swallow big price increases in the current scatter market, which has seen tighter inventory. Studios spent less in last year's upfront in anticipation of a soft scatter market, and are not eager to take that risk again.
Networks sell the bulk of their prime-time inventory for the coming TV season during the upfront and then sell the rest throughout the year in the scatter market.
WB sold nearly all inventory
Outside the big four, AOL Time Warner's WB is said to have sold nearly all its inventory at healthy 14% CPM increases. The network has a limited amount of programming but a young, largely female audience that advertisers are willing to pay more to reach. It is expected to take in about $525 million. Similarly, Viacom's UPN, with an expected total of $200 million, is said to be asking for 15% CPM hikes.
"We are far exceeding projections," said a WB spokesman. Representatives from the other networks declined comment.
Good news for networks
Although the gains are good news for the networks, one broadcast sales executive said some advertisers may simply be shifting scatter funds to the upfront.
"People are spending more, but I think some of it's people who are moving some money up forward," the executive said.
NBC has been so bullish in the current market that it's even making demands on advertisers. For the coming season, NBC will block movie studios from buying shorter 15-second spots on its Thursday night hit Friends. Thursday nights are the most desirable slots for studios as viewers think about weekend entertainment options. Because of the high unit cost of Friends, some studios had in the past opted for less expensive units.

Your high-def television is now obsolete—or at least that's what the consumer electronics industry would have you think.
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) announced the official Ultra High-Definition branding over the weekend, "connoting its superiority over conventional HDTV," the CEA said in a press release.
New TV sets can be called Ultra High-Definition (or Ultra HD) when they have at least 3,840 horizontal and at least 2,160 vertical pixels. The 1080p standard, by comparison, displayed 1,920 horizontal and 1,080 vertical pixels—or just one-quarter the resolution of Ultra HD.
Ultra High-Definition replaces 4K as the name-of-choice for displays with more than 8 million pixels of resolution, and supersedes 1080p as the highest-resolution display standard for consumers. Most of the TV industry is on board with the new naming scheme, though Sony has said that they will market any new pixel-dense displays as 4K Ultra High-Definition.
With "regular" HDTVs reaching market saturation, and 3D TV having flopped, the display industry at large is searching for new tech that will compel buyers to upgrade yet again. Higher resolution is a great way to do that, but it's arguable that the benefits are only practical at huge screen sizes. The same way that 1080p is overkill on a 32-inch display, the extra detail of Ultra HD will be lost on a 42-inch display.
We've seen a few huge Ultra HD TVs at trade shows already, but this announcement sets the stage for a big wave of new models at the forthcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January 2013.

Excuse me. I have just sent in what had damn well better be the final total overhaul of the novel I've been carrying on about for the last year and a half, and now I am faced with the alarming prospect of reclaiming my life.
Oh the trauma!
Never mind the fact that my dog, who tries to stay up with me when I write, is in a virtual coma and will barely even open his eyes when you wave a dog cookie in his face. Or that my entire closet has been turned into a hamper, and my washing machine barely remembers who I am. But I digress. (This tendency might be what was wrong with my novel, but I digress again. Damn.)
Anyway, here we have the 5 top reasons that revising a novel is far better than having a life.
- When you finally do take a break, which you shouldn't, but you do, and your family wants to watch an Oscar-winning and also educational documentary, you get to screech, "No! I want to watch The Carrie Diaries!" and your (entirely male and entirely horrified*) family will go along with you for fear your head will explode right there, in your family room, if they cross you.
- When you insist that your family not make any sounds whatsoever, including tv, music, closing the dishwasher, turning the pages of books, or hitting the keys on their laptops too vigorously, due to the fact that each sound deprives you of six seconds you vitally need in order to meet your deadline, no one will remind you that you watched 13 straight hours of House of Cards to distract you from the fact your book was falling apart. Ditto about your head exploding.
- You will come to realize that wearing fresh clothing on a daily basis and personal grooming are not all they're cracked up to be. Unlike when you're living your life and don't leave your house without the endless and repeated annoyance of combing your hair. Revision does not require combed hair. (Also make-up, jewelry, or matching socks.)
- Friendship is challenging, messy, and complicated. The revision cave completely eliminates any hint of these issues, due to the fact that your erstwhile friends barely remember you after your complete disappearance.
- In life, your fears about other people being annoyed with you are a paranoid remnant from your unfortunate youth, and we all know how distressing it is to question your perceptions of life in general, and your life in particular. In revision, on the other hand, you can feel completely confident in your conviction that people are annoyed with you because people are annoyed with your because your freaking book is so late.

Awferchrisake. I thought it was a cell phone....Doh.
Bullitt Wednesday Aug 10 08:28 PM
probly too expensive to buy a new cell phone for each bomb. all they need for this setup is a cheap lil 2 way radio
lookout123 Wednesday Aug 10 09:33 PM
2 walkie talkies or phones needed for each IED (can't type that without thinking of a uterus). phones are sold separately and are more expensive, need towers, service, etc. walkie talkies are sold in pairs, are cheap, and are relatively foolproof over short distances.
xoxoxoBruce Wednesday Aug 10 10:29 PM
OK, that makes sense, but why do the need a key pad? Send and recieve a code number for safety?

IED is Chilling in its relative simplicity - even more so from perspective of recent/current events in London. The downside payment for readily/easily available technology.
LCanal Thursday Aug 11 06:54 AM
I would hazard a quess at the keypad is nothing more than a tone generator. Which somehow triggers the device via the walkie-talkie at the bomb site. One could probably use voice but that would mean anyone talking on the same frquency could.. well you get the picture.
capnhowdy Thursday Aug 11 08:05 AM
the set of radios I have have 22 different freqs to chose from. As few of these that are scattered about, sometimes someone keys up on the freq that I have chosen. (what are the odds of that?) Obviously pretty good. I guess the keypad gives the bomber the little something the other radio owners don't have. Otherwise he may become his own victim. Now THAT WOULD BE COOL.
Undertoad Thursday Aug 11 08:22 AM
According to the dispatch, these particular bombers did become their own victim.
Queen of the Ryche Thursday Aug 11 09:33 AM
Sorry to expose my military ignorance, but what does IED stand for?
Bullitt Thursday Aug 11 09:40 AM
Improvised Explosive Device.. pretty much a cheap crude bomb made from whatever explosive materials these guys can find. Old artillery shells, land mines, RPG's, etc.
Queen of the Ryche Thursday Aug 11 09:51 AM
Ah - so the whole Iraqi / terrorist / Islamic / Afghani / Oklahoma City arsenal, basically.
CharlieG Thursday Aug 11 09:52 AM
Another one you will see is
VBIED - Vehicle Borne IED - aka "car bomb"
And yeah, I'm quite sure the Michael is seeing thing he is NOT talking about - it's called Operational Security, and if he does talk about them he 1)Puts his own life at risk, and 2)He won't be invited to a lot of the places he goes. You have to me amazed at what he does - he basically runs around AS a soldier, without being one, and exposes himself to the very same risks as the guys on the "cutting edge"
Bullitt Thursday Aug 11 09:54 AM
Yeah, the guy def. has my utmost respect

xoxoxoBruce Thursday Aug 11 03:13 PM
He reminds me of the WW II and Viet Nam combat photographers. Shame there were no Blogs back the but they have written books. Somehow books don't have the almost realtime intimacy that a blog does.
The people on the ground have no idea it's up there watching everything they do while they think they are under the cover of darkness...everything.

'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' Still in Production, Network Confirms
An E! spokesperson is denying reports that Keeping Up with the Kardashians has halted production.
"Keeping Up with the Kardashians is currently in production and has not been halted," an E! Spokesperson told Just Jared in a statement.
Earlier today, reports spread that KUWTK was not currently in production and was potentially not in production for the rest of the year or longer. A source said production was halted after Kanye West's hospitalization.
So far, none of the Kardashians have spoken out about the rumors.

A pair of father-and-son Alabama Crimson Tide fans bonded over the weekend, in more ways than one.
Not only did Charles Walton Kraver Sr., 55, and Charles Walton Kraver Jr., 24, take in (part) of their No. 1 ranked team's 24-7 victory over the No. 3 Florida State Seminoles, they paid up to get out of jail following their arrest for a brawl in the stands of Atlanta's new Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, three victims suffered the brunt of what in the video below look to be drunken, glossy-eyed blows from the Kravers:
Authorities say Lynda Soundara got into an argument with Kraver Jr. when he grabbed her by the neck and slammed her to the ground, causing her to hit her head. He then began punching her in the face and chest, according to the report.
When a second victim, Kevin Breedlove, attempted to break up the fight, police said Kraver Sr. began choking him.
A third victim, Conner Jones, also tried breaking up the fight, but the father-son duo punched him in the left side of his face, according to the report.
After security finally broke up the fight, the father–son Alabama fans were taken to Fulton County Jail, where they'd bond out on battery and simple battery charges.
Soundara was transported to a local hospital by EMTs.

Harrisburg, PA. - The Charleston Battery defeated the Harrisburg City Islanders, 4-0, Friday night at the Skyline Sports Stadium in front of 1,446 fans.
Charleston was dominant throughout and scored twice in each half to win its first game of the USL PRO season.
Charleston goalkeeper Odisnel Cooper faced seven shots and recorded one save, earning his second shutout of the season.
The Battery enjoyed the better of the opening exchanges and threatened to score with several good chances. Dane Kelly flashed a header over the bar in the 11th minute, and Zach Prince volleyed a shot high in the 14th.
Charleston continued to press and finally opened the scoring in the 25th minute after a long through-ball from defender Quinton Griffith. Forward Omar Salgado held off his marker as the ball ran across his body, then fired a looping shot over goalkeeper Nick Noble into the back of the net.
Charleston doubled its lead in the 41st minute with Salgado involved again, this time flicking the ball through to Zach Prince with an angled header from 20 yards out. Prince controlled the ball with his right foot, then stroked a left-footed shot into the far corner of the goal to make it 2-0.
The Battery added a third just after the hour-mark with substitute forward Mamadou Diouf picking out Andre Lewis who finished clinically, drilling in a right-footed shot past Noble.
Harrisburg was reduced to 10 men shortly afterward when defender Ethan White struck out at Diouf after the pair tangled at midfield. The referee issued White a straight red card.
The Battery continued to attack and were rewarded with a fourth goal in stoppage time after Andre Lewis beat Noble with a shot but saw his attempt headed off the line. Mamadou Diouf was quickest to react and swept home the clearance to make it 4-0.
The Battery concludes their weekend road trip Sunday with a 7 p.m. match against Dayton.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – On day five of his 38-brewery tour through Michigan, MLive statewide entertainment reporter John Gonzalez was still confident in his taste.
"They actually start to become even more distinctive," John Gonzalez said about craft beers. "We're only sipping each sample so we don't drink too much and that allows the palate to experience each beer individually."
Gonzalez, along with his statewide tour companion Amy Sherman, were joined by local beer guide Steve Smith, MLive Grand Rapids Press movie critic John Serba, photographer (and designated driver) Lauren Petracca, and myself on his tour of the four contenders from Grand Rapids in the battle for Michigan's Best Brewery.
Gonzalez is trying to determine who delivers the best craft beer experience, which includes not only the beer, but also the food, atmosphere and the "beer IQ" of the staff.
The Grand Rapids breweries nominated by MLive readers were Founders Brewing, Brewery Vivant, The Mitten Brewing Co., and Perrin Brewing. See the rest of the Top 10 nominees.
FOUNDERS BREWING, 235 Grandville Ave. SW
It may sound unbelievable, but this was Gonzo's first visit to Founders. "I knew if I ever came here I wouldn't want to leave," he said with a grin.
He picked a good time for his debut visit as Founders Brewing Co. has just opened their newly expanded facility to the public and it is immense. The public area of the brewery has more than doubled in size with a 3,975-square-foot partially covered beer garden and a 40 percent expansion of the indoor seating area.
Our crew was served a flight of 7 beers that included Solid Gold, Centennial IPA, Red's Rye, Porter, Mango Magnifico, Opening Night Black IPA and Dirty Bastard.
RELATED: Read more about Grand Rapids' Founders Brewing Co.
Listening to Serba, Smith, Sherman and Gonzalez talk about craft beer includes hearing terms like "flowery," "citrusy," and "hoppy." They held glasses up to the light, took light sips and furiously scribbled notes about each of the beers they tasted.
A quick tour from Founders CEO Mike Stevens showcased the original bar from the Brassworks building, which has been seamlessly added to the new taproom, a glass case of memorabilia including one of the original mugs from the Mug Club, and the impressive beer garden with fire pits and heaters.
Stevens estimates they will reach a production level that puts them into the top 25 in the country for craft beer brewers by the end of the year. Serba commented that this new facility officially announces that Founders is "one of the big boys" in the world of craft beer.
Every one of the judges chose Mango Magnifico for their favorites except Smith, who chose the Opening Night Black IPA. The mango infused and spicy beer was "something unexpected with just the right amount of heat," according to Sherman.
BREWERY VIVANT, 925 Cherry St. SE
It's no secret that Brewery Vivant is John Serba's favorite watering hole so it was no surprise that he ordered his beer in his own mug or "chalice" complete with his name etched into the glass.
Our crew was served the complete menu flight that included 10 beers and one specialty beer not on the menu. They were Farm Hand, Triomphe, Big Red Coq, Solitude, Belgian Enkel, Sgt. Peppercorn, BlackHand, Perdition, Zaison and Trebuchet. The specialty beer was a Bourbon Barrel Aged Triomphe IPA.
It's easy to see where Brewery Vivant might have the edge in atmosphere as the old funeral chapel still features stained glass windows, choir loft and bench seating. There isn't anything else like it. The outdoor seating area is complete with couches, tables, and a game area for a quick round of corn hole when you want to enjoy the weather.
RELATED: Read more about Grand Rapids' Brewery Vivant
What surprised me the most was the quality of their food. This is not your standard "pub fare." We were treated to "Duck Confit Nachos" with brie cream, tomato concasse, caramelized onions and duck cracklin'. Then plates of artesian cheeses and charcuterie were presented. That was followed by "Chicken and Waffles," which was actually a perfectly crusted Cornish hen and fluffy Belgian waffle paired with a salad.
They've taken some of the most basic beer grub and transformed it into gourmet dishes that I'll be coming back for.
Favorites from the judges included the Trebuchet for Serba and Smith while Gonzalez chose Zaison and Sherman said the Peppercorn was best of the bunch. Our server Natalie knew both menus inside and out and delivered excellent service.
THE MITTEN BREWING CO., 527 Leonard St NW
The Mitten Brewing Co. is an old fire station from 1890 that has been turned into a cozy craft beer and sports bar. It's the perfect place for a pint and a ballgame if you're a Tigers fan.
This stop was the first where the brewers came out to spend some quality time with the judges and crew. Rob Wanhatalo ("Wob") and newcomer Jason Warnes sat at the table and gave Gonzo the stats on each beer.
They were the Mitten Pale Ale, Soulless Ginger Ale, Triple Crown Brown, Country Strong IPA, Imperial Rye and the Black Betsy Coffee Stout.
RELATED: Read more about Grand Rapids' The Mitten Brewing Co.
While they were talking the ABV and IBU of IPAs, it didn't take long for the conversation to turn to baseball. Once the Tigers game hits the air, every TV in the bar is tuned into the game and the volume is turned up. They take their baseball as seriously as their beer. Gonzo, a dedicated baseball fan, looked like he was in heaven.
A smaller brewery that "can be more agile in trying new batches," The Mitten was also the only stop where we were served a "pizza flight" in addition to the beers. From pesto chicken to the "Thai Cobb" to a "westerdog" style pizza, these unique topping combinations sit on top of an incredibly tasty crust. If there's ever a search for Michigan's Best Pizza, these guys should be in the hunt.
Judges' favorites included Country Strong for Gonzalez and Sherman while Serba chose the Imperial Rye.
PERRIN BREWING, 5910 Comstock Park Drive NW
The atmosphere at Perrin is as communal as most other craft beer joints with plenty of bench seating to meet other beer fans. Their kitchen resembles a food truck that has been parked inside (which is designed to look like its outside) and their VIP area upstairs boasts impressive chandeliers and tables with leather seats.
But the first thing you notice is a full wall of windows along the brewery's back wall allowing patrons to watch the brewers work "in the lab." It brought back a strange memory of watching the cooks at Shakee's Pizza make the pies when I was a kid.
The number of craft beers on tap was impressive at nearly 20. We ordered nine from our server Dan but a few more kept showing up. Dan was put through the paces about his beer knowledge and "he knew his stuff," according to John Serba.
RELATED: Read more about Comstock Parks' Perrin Brewing Co.
The original order consisted of Batchtoberfest, Pure Pale, Kona Brown, White Maple Leaf, 1885 Porter, Grapefruit IPA, I IPA, Raspberry Blonde and Black Goat. At this point, we'd lost both Smith and Sherman but were joined by MLive Vice President of Content John Hiner and WZZM-13's Steve Zaagman and Stacia Kalinoski to help us tackle the tasting.
While Zaagman preferred the Grapefruit IPA, the rest of the table fell in love with the specialty beer they brought out known as the Bourbon Barrel Aged Malted Milk.
"Better than actual bourbon," Hiner said. Gonzo added: "I could go to sleep right after that. That's a nightcap!"
Special thanks again to Lauren for being a gracious designated driver and to all of the breweries for their hospitality (or is it hops-itality?). For a newcomer to the craft beer scene like me, it was exactly what Gonzo and the search for Michigan's Best Brewery tour had intended. I'm now a fan and even found one or two beers I know I'll enjoy over the usual macrobrews I would normally drink. And I can't wait to head back to Vivant for some of their food to go along with it.

Title: The Galaxy Luminosity Function in Nearby Groups
Abstract: The z=0 galaxy luminosity function is not well determined for M_R > -11 outside the Local Group. We have an ongoing program to measure the luminosity function in nearby groups, where we can probe the faint-end of the distribution to dwarf spheroidal magnitudes and surface brightnesses. We have over seven square degrees of R-band imaging with KPNO 0.9m+MOSAIC in the Leo I group and over 10 square degrees in the Coma I group. These images have provided a list of ~ 70 group member candidates per square degree, reaching to (mu)_R(0) ~ 24, R_T ~ 20. We propose to confirm membership of the higher-surface- brightness candidates with spectroscopic redshifts from WIYN+HYDRAB, where the multi-object capability and one-square-degree field is perfectly matched to our MOSAIC fields. To complement these observations, we also propose to obtain B-band photometry of our candidates with KPNO 2.1-m+T2KA, which will help determine morphology, and, for the lowest-surface-brightness candidates, discriminate against false-detections and high-z galaxy and cluster contamination.

The project is based on European law on the abolition of roaming.
The operation is simple. If a Carolina user goes on vacation to Teiko. He uses his services of the tariff plan without paying anything as an overprice, in short it pays only the monthly cost of the tariff plan.
Mobile phone operators can charge roaming if a user violates the rules of the "roaming free area".
The rule in general would be that a user should not exceed 50% of the minutes, SMS and GB available in their rate plan. Operators can make the entire rate plan available for the application without applying the 50% rule

@lukewright204: Well played again @Gmaxi_32, on absolute fire. Brilliant to watch. And Sangakkara is just too good. He just keeps getting better.

@cricketaakash: There's a Starc difference between Sri Lanka and Australia's bowling line-up
@fwildecricket: Mitchell Starc is arguably the best death bowler in the world and Australia's most important player.
@ProfDeano: Well done @OfficialSLC ... You showed some courage tonight! Awesome knocks by @KumarSanga2 and @Gmaxi_32.
@mohanstatsman: Finally a team (Sri Lanka) has managed to make 300+ total against Australia in a World Cup match. But in vain.
Twitter was abuzz the whole day as records kept on tumbling. Finally, it was Australia who walked away deserving winners. Here's how the folks reacted:
Another interesting stat is that Sangakkara has now been involved in three 100+ stands in his last three ODIs. He put on an unbeaten 210-run stand with Tillakaratne Dilshan against Bangladesh. With Lahiru Thirimanne, he stitched a superb unbeaten partnership of 212 against England and a 130-run stand with Dilshan in this game.
Sangakkara became the seventh batsman in the history of ODIs to compile three back-to-back ODI hundreds. He is also the first batsman to do that in World Cups. Mark Waugh came very close to performing that feat in the 1996 World Cup. Unfortunately for him, after scoring hundreds against India and Kenya, he remained 76 not out against Zimbabwe in Nagpur.

Greetings. I recently learned about "New Hieromartyr Vladimir (Lozino-Lozinsky), Protopresbyter of St. Petersburg (1937)", who was canonized in 2000. His feast day is December 13/26. Anyways, I noticed that they have an article on him at the Russian Wikipedia, here: Лозина-Лозинский, Владимир Константинович. I thought to ask you if you are able or interested, perhaps at some point maybe you could import it here on OW in English. Just an idea... Cheers, Angellight 888 04:07, September 28, 2012 (HST)

Career Opportunities
According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, overall engineering employment is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations over the 2004-14 period. Engineers have traditionally been concentrated in slow-growing manufacturing industries, in which they will continue to be needed to design, build, test, and improve manufactured products.
However, increasing employment of engineers in faster growing service industries should generate most of the employment growth. Overall job opportunities in engineering are expected to be favorable because the number of engineering graduates should be in rough balance with the number of job openings over this period.
Organizations that employ, or have employed, JCC graduates include: Eastman Kodak Company, Hope's Architectural Products, Inc., General Motors, Bush Industries, Cummins Engine Company, Ring Division of Producto, Pratt & Whitney, ACU-RITE, Inc., Valeo Corporation, General Electric, Weber-Knapp Corporation, MRC/SKF, IBM, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Danaher Industries, Betts Industries, and Zippo.
Transfer Opportunities
JCC graduates holding an A.S. degree in engineering science have transferred to many institutions, including Clarkson University, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue University, Rochester Institute of Technology, SUNY Buffalo, University of Pittsburgh, University of Maryland, University of Akron, University of Detroit-Mercy, SUNY Binghamton, University of North Carolina, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Editor's Note: EarthTechling is proud to repost this article courtesy of Natural Resources Defense Council. Author credit goes to Samir Succar.
In a new issue brief, NRDC addresses the environmental benefits of grid modernization and discusses the role of smart grid technologies in enabling a transition to a sustainable energy future. One central message of this new publication, "The Promise of the Smart Grid: Goals, Policies, and Measurement Must Support Sustainability Benefits" is that smart grid technologies provide an enabling platform that offers many potential benefits but that well-designed programs and careful implementation will be required to ensure those benefits are realized.
Can smart grid technologies help reduce carbon emissions?
The emissions benefits of the smart grid are difficult to quantify because the answer depends on how enabling technologies function within the system. Estimates in the literature (see figure from NRDC's issue brief below) vary both in magnitude and in source of emission abatement: electric vehicles displacing oil consumption, price transparency stimulating conservation, enhanced energy efficiency reducing energy consumption, or renewable energy displacing conventional fuels through increased system flexibility.
These sources of carbon abatement can all contribute to the benefits that smart grid technologies deliver, but without careful program design and without well elaborated metrics for success, we risk leaving these benefits on the table.
If one goal of smart grid deployment is to use demand side flexibility to facilitate faster deployment and cheaper integration of variable resources like wind and solar, the metrics that evaluate smart grid program success should be designed around those outcomes: grid flexibility, variable resource capacity value or the carbon intensity of electricity delivered to customers. Failing to do so would risk forfeiting the potential benefits of smart grid deployment, for example through uncoordinated planning or deployment of infrastructure that lacks the capability to provide flexibility on the relevant timescales.
It's not enough to count the number of meters installed or to simply measure peak load reductions as a way of gauging program success. Metrics must be aligned with desired outcomes and smart grid deployment programs should be integrated with energy efficiency and renewable energy programs and targets. Only by drawing these links and making them explicit can the environmental benefits of the smart grid be realized.
For more on smart grid technologies and their role in delivering environmental benefits, see NRDC's Issue Brief, "The Promise of the Smart Grid: Goals, Policies, and Measurement Must Support Sustainability Benefits"

Sumo tounaments are held 6 times a year.
There are 3 times of sumo tounament in Tokyo, January, May, and September.
Each tounament takes place for 15 days.
Are you ready you guys for the exciting tour??
We walked along the Sumida River.
30 to 40 minutes later, we got to Ryogoku area.
A big sumo stadium stands out in frount of us.
Group picture time~~
Inside of the stadium, you can have a Chankonabe that is commonly eaten by sumo wrestlers as part of a weight gain diet.
The Chankonabe is a stew made up of a lot of protains (chickens, fish, beef, and tofu) and vegitables.
To gain weight, sumo wrestlers have a sumo training right after they wake up, and then they have a huge meal. After finish eating, they go to bed directly.
This is how sumo wrestlers' fat comes from.
If you want to lose weight, don't skip a breakfast. lol
Around 2pm, pofessional sumo wrestlers come thru the south gate.
Inside of the sumo stadium
The main part of the game starts around 3:30pm
Ring entering ceremony, performed only by high level of sumo wrestlers (juryo and makuuchi divisions)
The east and west sides perform dohyo-iri
The Yokozuna (grand champion) has his own dohyo-iri.
The Yokozuna Hakuho performed individually.
He is doing ''Shiko wo fumu'' that means stomping the ground.
This action drives out evil.
Rinse out the mouth by Chikaramizu (power water) and concentrate one's energy
After spit out water, the lips are wiped dry with Rikishi (power paper)
Throw the salt to purify the ring and pray for a safe match
The two sumo wrestlers face each other at the center of the ring
When a sumo referee calls ''Hakkeyo-i Nokotta!'' (ready and go!), a sumo battle starts.
Look! I got a nice shot!
The Yokozuna match happens at the end
The Yokozuna, Hakuho keeps winning so far
The bow-twirling ceremony performed at the end to show the satisfaction of today's match
After the tour, the guests who joined us became to addict to watch sumo games.
May Sumo Tounament is still running until May 23 (Sun).
You can buy a day ticket in front of Sumo stadium in Ryokoku. (2100 yen per person)
I really recommend to get a ticket in the morning, like around 9 am,
because their day tickets are sold out quickly.
It's not still late to go to watch!
Hurry up! This Sunday will be the last match!
Enjoy watching the Japanese hottest fighting game!!
