yeah... me too... but never if i could find another way. and heat treating isnt that hard once you get to know it. but for a beginer, its not a issue... use annealed steel, and pay for the heat treat... for a large blade i know someone who will do it for £12 (£8 for a small.) which isnt much considering the time you'll save.i have been working on hardend steel for years with grinders and files and sandpaper yeah its harder but i dont have to heat treat.
i mean i run a 2x72, with a 4bhp motor, and trying to grind hardened steel on that is a right pain. polishing... hell yeah. a godsend. but not major shaping on hard steels.... its not worth it AT ALL.
files will cut hardened steel... but if your talking blade profiling, they would take one HELL of a beating. they will cut... but its not something a beginer should try. too much effort for too little experience. the sandpaper works well, i'll agree on hardened steels, but ONLY for polishing.. which is a minor thing after filing a hardened slab of steel... plus im not sure... but i dont think you can buy hardened blank stock.... pretty sure its all annealed. although i'll stand to be corrected... but i think that considering ive found only annealed steels in 3 years, and no hardened steels... im gonna say its not avalible. and theres a good reason for that.i agree with beginner comment but the how to guides i followed and my own personal experience is that stock removal on already heat treated steel is viable and worthwhile at least for me anyway i have used sandpaper to polish hard steel and have had good results...as for files the ones i have (my grandads old ones) seem to cut just fine *shrug*
plus as you have said... sand papers polish, not remove material (ala, profiling). as you've not profiled a blade from scratch with the above tools, you have got the experience to make comments about how its done, or how a beginer might go about it.
well then. lolnot in my experience but then i dont do that much rough shaping so im not really 100% on that issue.
if you havent rough shaped with a grinder, you cant really expect to comment on rough shaping on a grinder with any degree of certainty.
i have, and if you try to profile on hardened steel, using a grinder, you'll have to dress the wheels a LOT. you'll also experience extra heat build-up as it will take twice the effort/time to grind the same amount of hard steel, as it would soft... meaning you'll possibly destroy the heat treatment (as youve warned against). so as a matter of course... you'll need to spend as little time as possible on the grinder to limit that risk.... heat treated steel will take 'double' the time, and create 'double' the risk. possible for the experienced if they know how to handle that risk... hardly worth it for a starter. even experienced makers (as i understand them) do everything before heat treating for this exact reasoning
things need to be kept as simple as possible, and why spend time worrying about heat treatments, risk management, and working extra hard steels with hand tools, plus wheel dressing... when you can just pay £8 - £12 ???
aye... i wouldnt heat treat yourself straight off... just cus its a hard thing to learn. although you DO need to start somewhere. you dont wanna be taking on 2 new skills at a time.well much easier is a misnomer as heat treating yourself is vastly more complex and timeconsuming.
sending away for heatreat could easily cost more vrs the benifit especially with starter pieces...
that would be the best option though if cost is not really an issue.
.just my opinon though based on what i have done and read etc,
im not sure id say heat treating is expensive... £8 for a 8ich and below blade. (hardened to your specs, tripple tempered by a pro) or £12 for anything above 8inches, below 18inches... cheap as hell. and thats assuming you cant get a local place to do it. heres a metalworker near me that will harden it to my spec for a fiver, and another fiver to temper it... although you can do that yourself in a hot oven. (though it takes longer)
for blades above those lengths... i got the local guy to teach me, and harden a large section of steel for £40... to do it himself... £20. so i basicly paid £20 for a lesson as well. which was for about 2 hours speaking to someone who does it for a living... learnt a lot. so theres plenty of options.
and if you've managed to make a nice blade. i wouldnt want to risk bodging it cus you screwed the heat treatment during manufacture, and i wouldnt mind paying £20 to make sure its finished correctly. add to this... you'll find it a lot easier to make it in the first place.
just my lil info. and im curently trying to make blades for general sale. waiting on some capital. making my blanks up for starting stock, and looking for a bigger location to work from. my grinders are starting to take over every inch of space i own.... which is my experience with such things.
im currently trying to finish a bowie for a forum member here, in damascus, and another wants to come down and make his own (with my help)... i believe a large fixed blade knife.
yeah...i was more on about the drying, and curig, etc... very time consming.l know what you mean when you say that but if you know what your doing then its not that bad,course you have to know what wood is good for what, l know what im looking for most of the time like when l made a load of stone axes (the heads were slate, im going to try some flint ones soon) and as long as you know the laws of the land for where your taking the wood from then your usually ok.

Baltimore Sun staff writers Scott Calvert and Luke Broadwater spent more than six months investigating the proliferation of speed cameras in the Baltimore region over the past three years.
They obtained detailed citation data from Baltimore City, Baltimore County and the State Highway Administration, which oversees the state's highway work zones. The public records requests yielded data on more than 2 million government-issued citations, including the date, location, tag number and recorded speed for each. The Sun could then, for example, track trends at certain locations and document multiple ticket recipients.
Howard County, the only other area government that uses speed cameras, refused to provide comparable data with license tag numbers. Its lawyers cited a provision of state law that the other jurisdictions did not see as a barrier to releasing tag numbers.

Since my great life ambition is to make friends with a pride of lions and nap on top of them as if, taken together, they all composed a giant, fuzzy mattress, you can imagine that man in this video has inspired in me a deep, unbounded jealousy. Why him? What's so special about him that the lions ask him for tender pets and nuzzle his face? Maybe it's the zebra truck, but, then again, maybe it's just the hand that fate deals some of us poor, aspiring lion cuddlers.

We've just wrapped up the twelfth and final Listening Tour event for the year, in the theatre of the lovely Oxford Hotel in downtown Denver. Established in 1891, the Oxford is the oldest hotel in Denver and provided a welcoming setting for another engaging evening with friends old and new.
What a terrific year this has been for me hearing from alumni, parents, and friends of the College throughout the country -- as well as in London. Last night's conversation was infused with the same high energy, passion, thoughtfulness, and commitment to the College that I have now come to expect from our extended Swarthmore family.
We covered much ground in our conversation including the College's unyielding commitment to need blind admissions; the number of engineering students we're enrolling; the effectiveness of our pre-med and pre-law programs; our commitment to creating diverse classes; and some perceptions (and misperceptions) about the College's "image."
Audio: Download
I want to take this opportunity, in my final blog post from the road this year, to thank our good friends in Denver and the many hundreds of alumni, friends, and family of the College who have participated in the Listening Tour events. They have taught me so well this year about their values, perspectives, experiences, and philosophies. What I learned from each of you who so willingly and generously have contributed your time and thoughts now serves as a kind of collective compass point for the College as we navigate our future direction together.
Next year we will begin a strategic direction-setting exercise on behalf of Swarthmore and I am confident my conversations with you on the Listening Tour will help inform and guide our decisions about the College's future priorities. I see this Listening Tour as the beginning of a long conversation we're going to be having over many years. If I didn't meet you during this year's events, I'm hopeful that we will have a chance to intersect on future trips. I will continue to look to you for your best thinking -- along with that of our dynamic on-campus community -- about how best to protect the College's most dearly held values, preserve and enhance our intellectual strength, and move confidently forward as a leader in American higher education.

Well we have a few years between here and Needless 2 (even more if it isn't starting at Chapter 101).
I'm actually getting more excited for 74 coming out in a week or so.
I'm curious to what you guys think will happen with Mio. Her goal from being with Cruz was that she wanted to find Blade and that's happened. Is she just going to join up with Blade&Co and follow them around? I'm hoping so! (Might bring in Setsuna and Kuchinashi into the story more!!) And we've all had the speculation that her Power fragment hasn't really been demonstrated effectively in her one fight she's been in (Third Shelter) and thought that her power would awaken into a true Power fragment. I'm guessing this might be brought up soon and perhaps start here in Chapter 74.
Also, what do you think will happen to Rin and BQ in Chapter 74+. Are they going to be members and hang around Blade&Co or just go back to their respective homes? They seem like great fighters but with Seto and Solva back, it doesn't seem like they're needed. I'm kinda curious to see how Rin's personality would fit in with the group if she stays.
And who do you think the next fight will be between? This is pretty much our first big fight since Arclight (with the main cast at least. St. Rose was just between the girls in the academy). I'm wondering if Saten will get in a real fight this time where he actually tries instead of just playing around. Wishful thinking on my part, probably...

Rin i think may fall for solva.
Saten has at least one more attack that weve havent seen in the fifth wave, but his real fight (the one outside his planning) will probably be near the end.
I hope Mio stays after such a strong opening it'd be a shame for her to fade out
i also like kanna. darts and BQ I'm indifferent.
well only two more to go and then everyone on this list will have returned
Spoiler for list only in spoiler to save space:
but check this out its the second radio drama a joke ova called school days.
its a small picture but not small enough not to see who the teacher and one of the male students are.

Needs a bigger image:
Kinda interested at what this school would be like.
Edit: Also, I'm kinda wondering what Mio will do with the group now. I'm wondering how her chemistry with Seto/Solva and most importantly, Blade, will be in the future chapters. Also wondering what Rin will bring, but seeing her personality. Be kinda funny with her and Solva together. BQ I don't know much about, and I'm guessing he'd go look for orichalcum somewhere else. Kana should help build Disk's body so I see her staying for the time being. Guess that makes Blade + 7 girls (I'm going to count Yamada as a girl just because) It's like the reverse of snow white!

About, Saten, I said before. Considering all he did, I don't think he'll fight again. If he does, it will be to give the main cast some aid, and in the final battle I can see him aiding them once more and leaving the battlefield, and in turn abandon Arclight.
It's the main reason why I think he'll live to be in Needless 2. He's a mastermind, up until now, Arclight has been unaware of each one of his actions. Not only that, he's so sure of himself, the most misterious Needless villian. He's too interested in the Needless Hunt.
If Saten wanted he would have killed everyone long ago, but he won't.
All it's left is, why he does all that, why he helps the main cast, and specially, why Cruz is his experimental human body.
And with that said, next january 19 will be 6 years since Needless began serizalization

You understand why we are so excited for the next chapter, right? Everytime Saten moves big developments happen.
As for his interest with Eve, it's because she's the Doppelganger, and she's supossed to have a byakugou that is missing too (read volume 3 for more info).
On the other hand, he doesn't give a shit about Blade other than prevent him from falling in Arclight's claws, at least until his plan is done. That's why I said Arclight's current inability to move is the best thing that could have happened for Saten's interests.

The first time Saten made an appearance near the main cast, he found how both Blade and Arclight were identical, wich lead the first to take the decision of taking Blade's body.
The second time, he revealed Eve was supossed to have a byakugou, but for unknown reasons is missing. He even knew Eve had the Doppelganger.
The third time, so many things happened: He let them have Kurumi's corpse, so Blade could copy her fragment and destroy the virus put into Eve's brain. Then he let Blade copy his fragment on purpose. Finally the most important one. After letting Aruka mortally wound Cruz, Saten faked defeat in order to let Eve bring Cruz back to life. During that process, Eve used her cells to atach Cruz's arm. After coming out from under the ruble, the first thing Saten did was looking at Cruz.
Finally, though it's not a development but more a detail, Saten called Blade "idiot" when he threw Arclight out of the building.
As you can see it's not about Saten but the main cast, specially Cruz and Eve.

So I hope we learn about Saten in the next few chapters. I kinda doubt it and think they'll do him as one of the last (since his connection with Cruz) and this will probably be able Eve. Kinda wondering if they'll do Aruka near the end, too.

I was actually looking at a quick poll of who people's favorite characters were. Eve was first, Yamada (female cruz) was 2 and Mio was 3. Aruka was 4th (above Blade). Didn't realize how popular she is =P

It's on Imai Kami's website:
Eve, Yamada, Mio, Aruka, Blade, Disk, Kuchinashi, Setsuna, Seto, Arclight, Riru, and Rin is in 12th. I think the people not listed didn't get any votes.

Yes, I have my weakness, lol. (another reason I'm predicting Kuchinashi to show up again soon)
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what happens with Blade&Co in the upcoming chapter. Since Eve is at the hospital in the guild, it means there'll be a reunion between Seto+Blade and the Guild. Wonder if there's any bad blood between them and if there'll be any conflict before they see Eve (unless she's missing).

Never thought of that, would be interesting to see why Blade joined and left the guild in the first place.
But considering Saten's presense and how far it is from Kanna's village, I think it may be hard for them to get back so easily.
Though I for one think the underground city would be a perfect battlefield.

Here's an idea I can get behind. Edible crayons! Luxirare created a box of eight colors (flavors?), using household ingredients such as nuts, sesame seeds and melted marshmallow for the white crayon.
Think that sounds tasty? Wait until you hear what was used in the green crayon—peas, green beans, dried kiwi fruit, green fruity pebbles and dried pumpkin seeds. Not as sweet as the white crayon, sure, but a heck of a lot tastier-sounding than your average health bar.
While they're not available to buy, Luxirare has done the honorable thing and listed ingredients and taken photos of how they're made—all in the most gorgeously-shot photos. [Luxirare]

Something happened in the mid-'80s that forever shaped the way I thought video games would be when I got older. And that something was this scene from the Japanese animated series Macross.
Screened in the West as the first chapter of Robotech, this sequence shows a video game arcade of the future as imagined by the show's creators in 1982. That future was 2009-10, so this is nice and timely!
I love how arcades are still not only deeply relevant, but a hub of the entertainment industry, attracting crowds of people of all ages and professions, as well as both genders. They're even a great place to meet hot alien chicks!
Note also the fact that the arcade has a "big screen", where the game of the moment can be broadcast live across the entire building. I always thought, especially once I got a bit older and the Street Fighter craze hit, that this would become commonplace in arcades across the world. Guess not!
One thing I do think this show got right is the game itself. While the first stage is a cute homage to the games of the "time" (ie the 80's), the second, where they engage in full-blown, 3D holographic combat, blew my mind when I was little, and even now, still looks amazing.
"3D" screens do nothing for me. It's a clumsy, and expensive, fudge. But the prospect of something that can actually project true three-dimensional objects in a three-dimensional space? That shit sounds amazing. And while the creators of Macross may have been a little premature in thinking we'd be playing games like that within twenty years, it's a place I still hope gaming can get to in the next twenty years.

Republicans break with Nevada rancher Bundy
Prominent Republicans and conservative news media outlets rallied in recent weeks around the cause of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, whose armed standoff with authorities over grazing rights on federal land had made him an instant folk hero on the right.
But Bundy's GOP defenders, including Sens. Dean Heller of Nevada and Rand Paul of Kentucky, rapidly abandoned him on Thursday following reports of incendiary remarks that the white rancher made about minorities. Bundy wondered aloud whether blacks would be better off as slaves picking cotton, and alleged that people of color are "against us."
The controversy marks another major headache for establishment Republicans working to build better relationships with blacks and Hispanics - crucial voting blocs that have increasingly supported Democrats in recent elections. The GOP is in the midst of a messaging tour aimed at reintroducing the party to minority voters, including lawmaker visits to minority neighborhoods and to historically black colleges.
"It undermines the broader, more important goals to rebrand and re-establish a conversation with a community that looks suspiciously upon most of the things you say," said former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, referring to African Americans in particular.
Steele, who was the RNC's first black chairman, added that Republicans must declare that "there is no place for this level of ignorance and stupidity around matters of race in our party."
Bundy and his family are entrenched in a decades-long battle with federal authorities after the rancher refused to pay fines for illegally grazing his cattle on federal land. The dispute escalated this month when Bundy and an armed militia of supporters had a standoff with federal agents who attempted to seize his cattle - a confrontation featured prominently during numerous segments on Fox News Channel.
A growing number of Republican lawmakers and conservative pundits had expressed support for Bundy's cause, while top Democrats - including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. - denounced him as a vigilante and domestic terrorist.
The New York Times on Thursday reported a series of racial comments Bundy made during the weekend to a reporter and supporters gathered at his ranch. Later Thursday, The Washington Post obtained a video recorded by a Bundy supporter that included all of the remarks.
"I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro," Bundy said, according to the video. "I've often wondered: Are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn't get no more freedom. They got less freedom."
He also recalled 1960s-era riots by what he called "Negro" groups in Los Angeles. He said he "hardly ever" saw a black person until he was almost a teenager and noted that he is surrounded by white faces.
"Where is our colored brother? Where is our Mexican brother? Where is our Chinese - where are they?" Bundy said. "They're just as much American as we are, and they're not with us. If they're not with us, they're going to be against us."
Before those comments were publicized, a number of prominent Republicans had offered support for Bundy's cause. Heller, Nevada's junior senator, said Bundy and his makeshift militia were "patriots" during a local news interview.
And Paul said he was sympathetic with Bundy's opposition to federal ownership of grazing land, while distancing himself from the militant side of Bundy's resistance. "I'm for obeying the law, and I'm not for a violent outcome," Paul said Monday.
Much of that support evaporated Thursday. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus called Bundy's racial comments "completely beyond the pale" and "100 percent wrong." Paul said the remarks were "offensive," while a spokesman for Heller declared them "appalling and racist."
Fox News host Sean Hannity - who had been one of Bundy's leading champions - said the comments were "beyond repugnant." But Hannity also lamented that outrage over the remarks would overshadow the "legitimate issue" of government overreach.
Bundy insisted in several media appearances that his comments had been taken out of context, although he repeated some of his observations regarding slavery. "I'm not racist," he said on one radio show. "They're making it a racist-type thing."
The rancher is the latest in a series of figures - including rock singer Ted Nugent and "Duck Dynasty" reality show star Phil Robertson - who made controversial racial remarks after being championed by conservatives. Republican operatives acknowledge that those associations have damaged the party's attempts to rebrand itself.
Crystal Wright, a conservative commentator, said, "Republicans are part of our own problem," given the regular embrace of figures such as Bundy.
"My parents didn't sit-in at lunch counters so that they would be told that they would have been better off learning how to pick cotton," Wright said. "We as conservatives don't do a great job of cleaning up these racial missteps."
The GOP, which has long struggled to attract minority voters, has redoubled its outreach efforts in the wake of President Barack Obama's re-election and continued growth in the proportion of nonwhite voters that has made it increasingly difficult for Republicans to win national elections.
Prominent Republicans have toured minority neighborhoods nationwide, pushing a message that they are the party that will bring new economic prosperity to impoverished communities. Rep Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the party's 2012 vice presidential candidate, has revived his practice of making regular visits to poor areas of inner cities to meet with residents.
Paul and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., also have addressed audiences at historically black colleges. Priebus is slated to speak this month at one of those schools, Central State University in Ohio.
Some Democrats and political scientists argue that conservative ideology focused on "state's rights" - an issue linked with preservation of slavery and Jim Crow laws - makes it exceedingly difficult for Republicans to attract minority voters. Bundy's comments, they said, show a common connection between anti-government ideology and racial animosity.
"He is a window into the soul of modern conservatism," said Ian Haney Lopez, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley, who wrote a book called "Dog Whistle Politics." He added, "A demonization of minorities and a demonization of the government in modern conservatism-those are inextricably linked."
But many Republicans, including several black GOP operatives, reject that liberal critique. Although the party stumbles on occasion, they said, Republican history is no more racially clouded than that of the Democrats, who dominated the South during the segregation era.
"I just don't buy the notion that voters are going to see anything more than a single racist rancher in Nevada," said Ron Christie, a GOP strategist and former special assistant to president George W. Bush. "In the coming weeks and months we'll see the Democrats saying, 'See, we told you that Republicans are racist.' I don't think a lot of people will buy it."

DA Refuses to Press Criminal Charges in Killing of Cayne Miceli
The Lens is reporting that the Office of the District Attorney has chosen not to press any criminal charges against the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office in the torture and killing of Cayne Miceli in January 2009. I've blogged extensively about this horrible crime. And I'm not surprised that professional courtesy appears to have won over justice in Orleans Parish.
There is no doubt in the minds of all who loved Cayne that she was murdered by a chain of incompetence, negligence, ignorance and insensitivity that coalesced that fateful night. She turned to the system and it failed her. Today, the totality of that failure was punctuated by the parish's arbiter of law. It is no surprise to most of us.
Justice cannot repair this murder. Justice did not exist that night and it does not exist today for Cayne Miceli or her family. This is a bitter Christmas present from the District Attorney. But it does not absolve the staff and leadership of the institutions into which Cayne entrusted her body and which, via negligence and abusive treatment, released her soul. Those who participated in every step of this tragedy know what their roles were in this crime. Their consciences must deal with this while they live. For now, the lawsuit filed by the family is the only vehicle for extracting truth and some semblance of justice from this community.
We all share in the shame of today's hand-washing of responsibility, for these are our elected officials. We put them in power and we pay their salaries. They betrayed our trust and our faith. But at least we are here to say that.
Cayne Miceli was murdered. And I will say that until I no longer breathe.

As competition for water resources is growing in terms of quality and quantity, and policy makers are increasingly looking towards irrigated agriculture for a solution, information is all the more important. With increasing the availability of information and knowledge, water users can become more efficient in how they can improve the use of water. The same applies to policy makers, managers and advisors who would receive reliable and readily available information and data on which to base their judgment and advice. Although the Internet, an immense source of information, has been growing exponentially allowing scientists and users to move closer together irrespective of time and distance, the availability of scientifically valid and approved information has unfortunately remained disproportionally low, not meeting the steadily increasing demand and growing expectations.
Despite impressive figures on information growth in the Internet some online surveys have also shown that, in addition to technical problems, the finding and organizing of relevant information remains one of the major problems linked to the content. In the irrigation and drainage community, like many others, there is an urgent need for a professional information system like WCA infoNET to facilitate information finding and to provide a platform for sharing professional knowledge and build the base for dialogue to adjacent sectors such as environmental and community water needs. International conferences and summits assist in bringing professionals in the field from all over the world together. While attending, delegates from overseas can protect themselves with insurance in the event of unexpected illnesses occurring.
The ready availability of information and quality knowledge as well as reliable data as a base for development and decision support in the agricultural water sector is therefore urgently needed. With WCA infoNET, a powerful state-ofthe-art tool and portal could be established on the Internet. While information providing and stakeholder participation could be initialized, an extensive broadening of the information base and the inclusion of new sources of knowledge and participating institutions and stakeholders is needed. Data from organizations such as the American Water Resources Association and American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers can be brought together in one place. While system development has reached an advanced state of functionality and reliability, the changing needs, environment and user demands do require a continuation of system improvement and development to ensure best outputs and sustainability of resources.
Despite the fundamental need of a core integrating and enclosing knowledge and information management system such as WCA infoNET, as the central "intelligence" in information finding, additional 'satellite systems' and services need to be established. These systems and services need to be seamlessly linked up to the main system allowing the coverage of the immense knowledge base as well as improving decentralized knowledge generation and handling with respect to specific data and organizational needs while remaining accessible to the main system.

Inadequate sleep can occur for a number of reasons. Many Americans simply do not make enough time for adequate sleep. One hundred years ago, the average American was getting 9 hours of sleep a night. Anthropologists tell us that 5000 years ago, the average night's sleep was 11 to 12 hours a night. When the sun went down, it was dark, boring, and dangerous outside, so people went to bed. When the sun came up, they woke up. The average time from sunset to sunrise is 12 hours. The use of candles initially shortened sleep time. Then light bulbs were developed followed by radio, TV, computers, etc. We are now down to an average of six and one half to seven hours of sleep a night, and this is simply not adequate to allow proper tissue repair.
Some people get inadequate sleep because of poor sleep hygiene, often occurring because pain keeps them awake. Others have insomnia because the sleep center in the brain (called the hypothalamus) is suppressed by the same process that is causing the pain.
A 2001 poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that 58 percent of Americans had sleep difficulties. This had increased from 51 percent the year before. Fifteen percent of Americans use a prescription or over-the-counter sleep aid. In addition, those who slept less than six hours a night felt more stressed, angry, sad and tired than the people who got more sleep. The survey of over 1000 adults also found that only 30 percent of people reported getting the recommended 8 hours of sleep a night, down from 38 percent the year before. The average amount of sleep also decreased to under seven hours.

Most of the natural sleep remedies discussed here are not sedating, yet they will help you fall asleep and stay in deep sleep. Some are available in combination formulas as well. I recommend the following natural sleep aids:

Written for The Public Reviews
Martin Murphy is clearly a man obsessed with the shady goings on of East End gangsters. But whilst there are some flashes of lyricism in this piece, Manor is for the most part an aggressively male dominated play that bludgeons the audience around the head with its often incomprehensible monologues and glorification of 'geezer culture'. Unless you're as enamoured with the Krays as Murphy is, you're going to be in for a very long evening.
Characters reminiscent of Guy Ritchie's creations, only not quite as knowingly funny, circle each other within their 'Manor' or 'gaff'. We have Stud, a petrifying yet stylish psychopath who runs a mini empire of doormen, Man, the overweight balding comic relief and owner of one such 'gaff' and Joe, whose boyish wide-eyed innocence hides a much darker destiny than he could have imagined. Sadly it's one that the audience can see coming a mile off. When he and girlfriend Kel get caught by Stud doing coke and the apple of his eye is brutally mistreated (eyes being the operative word, Kel seems to captivate everyone through nothing but her steely glare) it is obvious what is going to happen.
Perhaps in an attempt to mix up this predictability Murphy's structure jumps to and from the present to the past, imitating the fast paced rhythm of the aforementioned Ritchie. Sadly this isn't a film, and the space at The Tristan Bates Theatre is too small for this overblown production, the lights are too slow for the intentioned snaps to black, and the actors can't get to their starting points due to slightly bemused audience members sat on each side of the stage. Whilst one can clearly see what director James Kermack was trying to do there just simply isn't enough room, meaning movement goes from slick to stumble.
The cast battle valiantly within their roles, and no one could say that they're not trying to make this work. But whilst Stephen Pucci creates some nice details to his central anti-hero and James Kermack succeeds in raising a smile or two throughout this long dark process, it really is a struggle for them to create any kind of live interaction either with each other or the audience. Elspeth Rae as Kel has the embarrassing role of literally being nothing but the eye candy, with each attitude filled pose more clichéd than the last and no lines within the text at all; there is no room for women in this world it would seem, unless they are gangster's molls.
But it's not only the upsetting (probably unintentional but undeniably present) misogyny that bothers in Manor. The question at the heart of this piece is why tell this story at all? Presupposing that you will inherently be interested in this fairytale world of gangster tussles is a dangerous game and one that seriously backfires here. So whilst it's not all bad, with funny moments and poetic sentences peppering the harshness, they become buried under a dated obsession which is Manor's downfall. As the minutes tick by and the tirade of angry monologues just increases, it sadly feels like this is a show which is little but a big dollop of cockney sound and fury.

Last year, activity in the House was about the state budget. This year, the social issues train has certainly left the station in the New Hampshire House of Representatives.
It's hard to imagine that any focus Republicans give to bills like House Bill 1659, which would require a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion, would help them in November. But that's probably not the point.
Analysts have said that Republicans have historically large majorities now and aren't likely to hold onto them come November. With that in mind, many suggest Republicans need to tackle these issues now, even if they are issues New Hampshire and its libertarian streak haven't historically cared much about. But is there a risk in energizing Democrats?
There is something interesting going on with House Bill 1659. On Wednesday, March 14, the House approved the bill 189-151, but the next day the House reversed its decision and sent the bill to committee for review. What's interesting is that the Senate, probably a more moderate body anyway, doesn't appear to have any interest in going there.
The bill would require a 24-hour waiting period. The bill had read that a violation of the waiting period would be a felony and punishable by a three- to seven-year prison sentence, but a House committee voted this week to remove the criminal charges. Women would be required to be told about their fetus's brain and heart development, be provided with a video and educational materials on abortion, and be told the state urges them to reach out to an adoption agency.
Not surprisingly, the opposition responded.
"We are facing a full-scale attack on women's health under Speaker Bill O'Brien," said Jennifer Frizzell, senior policy adviser for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, in a statement. "In the past 15 months the New Hampshire House has adopted five times the number of restrictions on women's health care than in all the 37 years prior since Roe v Wade. Despite this frightening trend, we recognize a growing bipartisan opposition to O'Brien's anti-women's health agenda."
Same-sex marriage repeal
Along with two other abortion-related bills, the House has a same-sex marriage repeal bill to deal with. Rep. David Bates, R-Windham, has included a referendum on his bill that would put the issue of same-sex marriage before voters. The state has a same-sex marriage law, which Bates is seeking to repeal. If the question went before voters, it would be non-binding — even if voters supported the current law, repeal would still happen. Bates said in reports he and legislators would accept the will of the people. Bates has written several bills that would essentially repeal the state's same-sex marriage law, which was enacted in 2008.
The assumption is that Gov. John Lynch would veto any repeal effort, though his support of the same-sex marriage law was lukewarm. The guess is that Lynch would have preferred not to have had to deal with the issue to begin with.
A University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll released last fall reported 29 percent of residents supported repealing the law, 50 percent strongly opposed repeal and 12 percent somewhat opposed repeal. Exit polls at the presidential primary in January were similar.
The House squashed a bill that would have allowed wedding service providers to refuse service to gay couples if it conflicted with their religious beliefs. The vote wasn't close, but even some in support of same-sex marriage repeal probably cringed, from a re-election standpoint, at the fact that the House even had to hear that one. As evidenced by comments by Senate President Peter Bragdon in an interview with the Hippo, the Senate is keeping its head down and pushing for more legislation that helps businesses and the economy.
Right to work is back
The House passed right-to-work legislation last week, though not by a veto-proof majority. Last year, Lynch vetoed the legislation, and while the Senate overrode the veto, the House came up short. It was one of the biggest battles at the Statehouse last year and probably will be again. Right to work is related to collective bargaining and would eliminate requirements that state workers join unions, and that workers who opt out of unions be forced to pay union dues. Opponents say state law already protects workers who opt out of unions. The risk for Republicans in bringing the legislation up is, again, how much it energizes the opposition.

|Easy, light and savory pie with zucchini and tomatoes.
Zucchini Tomato Mozzarella Pie Recipe
The Italian goddess Venus knew a thing or two about love. What was her favorite fruit, you ask? Tomatoes, of course. Vegans- use your favorite gluten-free vegan cheese or soy "mozzarella".
3 medium zucchini
Sea salt, as needed
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Extra virgin olive oil
8 oz. mozzarella, sliced*
3 medium vine-ripe or heirloom tomatoes
Fresh chopped basil, to taste
1 cup Crunchy Gluten Free Bread Crumbs or your favorite crumbs tossed in olive oil and Italian herbs
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Trim both ends of each zucchini. Cut them in half; then slice lengthwise into thin flat strips. Place in a colander and sprinkle with sea salt. Set aside for ten minutes or so. Press with dry towels to extract some of the moisture.
In a 9-inch pie plate (or gratin pan or baking dish) layer the zucchini strips in an overlapping pattern. Season with pepper and minced garlic.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Layer with mozzarella slices.
Slice the tomatoes and place them on top of the mozzarella. Season the tomatoes with sea salt, pepper and basil.
Top with the Crunchy Gluten Free Bread Crumbs.
Bake in a preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the zucchini is fork-tender and the topping is golden brown. Set aside for five minutes before cutting and serving.
Serve as a first course or a side dish. We like it with rice, quiona, or polenta.
Serves 4.

St. Vincent de Paul (1581-1660)
Saint Vincent de Paul, who founded the Daughters of Charity, was born in 1581 in a small, poor village in France to a peasant family. At an early age, he showed a talent for reading and writing. At 15, his father sent him to school, managing to pay for it by selling the family's oxen. A good ecclesiastical career, his father believed, would enable de Paul to be financially independent and to help support his family. De Paul was ordained as a priest at the age of 19.
In 1605, de Paul found himself in great debt, and traveled to Marseilles to collect an inheritance. On the way home at sea, de Paul was captured by a group of Barbary pirates. In 1605, the pirates auctioned de Paul off as a slave to the highest bidder, and the future saint spent two years in bondage. Ultimately, the story goes, he became the property of an apostate Christian, whose wife aided in the escape of all his slaves.
Back in Paris, de Paul was driven to succeed and craved the company of high society. Deeply ambitious, de Paul came under the guidance of Father de Burulle, an influential priest in Paris. While working in Paris, de Paul met a theologian in the midst of a crisis of faith. Sensitive to his suffering, de Paul offered counseling.
"In every bed of the hospital with the eyes of faith you will see Jesus." – St. Vincent de Paul
"If you help the poor and the needy, God will always provide you with the help you need." – St. Vincent de Paul
"Your patients need a share of your joy." – St. Vincent de Paul
For the sake of this friend's soul and his own peace, de Paul offered God a bargain: he begged for peace for his friend, even if the price would be for de Paul to experience the same spiritual trial. God took him at his word. While the theologian had his faith restored, de Paul entered a bleak period in which he doubted his faith in God and himself. As a means of diverting himself from his spiritual crisis, de Paul began visiting the poor.
For the next four years, de Paul struggled with his faith. The resolution he ultimately embraced would be surrendering his life's ambition of living out his priesthood in comfortable wealth. He made a pledge to God to serve the poor, relinquishing his quest for power and prestige.
From here, de Paul's ministry would grow. "Before we can save the souls of the poor," de Paul said, "we must give them a life worthy of the name." This meant food, shelter and nursing the sick. In 1617, he founded the Ladies of Charity from a group of ladies within his parish. He organized these wealthy women of Paris to collect funds for missionary projects, find hospitals, and gather relief funds for the victims of war and to ransom 1,200 galley slaves from North Africa. It was not unusual during those years to find him elbow-deep in dishwater, washing bandages for the sick, or ladling out soup for the poor.
One of the Ladies of Charity, Louise de Marillac, took 12 peasant girls in 1633 to work among the poor. She called them the Company of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul Servants of the Poor. They were the first uncloistered community of religious women.
The Daughters went on to become involved in hospitals, prisons and the care for abandoned children. By 1780, there were 430 houses of the Daughters of Charity in France, 20 in Poland and one in Spain. Today, the Daughters of Charity currently number 27,223 members in five continents with 81 provinces.
Vincent de Paul, who died in 1660, was declared Patron Saint of all works of charity by Pope Leo XIII and was canonized June 16, 1737.

August 12, 2019, 11:37:45 PMFox: (Someone else discovered that, not me.)
August 12, 2019, 11:33:42 PMFox: So um. It looks like abilties in the class editor are being put back in as a byte for GS1?
August 12, 2019, 08:02:58 PMFox: Also, it seems most of us have moved to the Discord. In case if you were wondering where the forums activity went. Maybe come by and check it out. But it is just a suggestion, you don't have to.
August 12, 2019, 07:57:02 PMFox: I figured that was a possibility. If you are guesting, it is hard to know how frequently you check back. It's great to hear from you, though. :) What have you been up to? Is Forgotten Dreams still being worked on, or has that been cancelled? (I'd guess you don't have much time for it. It's been years since we've last heard about it.)

July 03, 2019, 12:03:06 AMSalanewt: There actually is a Jupiter revive... if you're using the Animation Overhaul patch. I think Caledor made a standalone patch for GS1 too, but you'd have to ask him.
July 02, 2019, 07:34:13 AMFox: So like... (just a thought)... If we designed a script to compare times for speedrunning something... goalChance represents stability (I think?) ; If it is 100%, answer results in infinite, which means you can't have 100% stability. (Meaning you'd basically be skipping all item drops/etc.)
July 02, 2019, 07:06:08 AMFox: (I still want to make sure the equation is correct, though... as it did include some guessing.)
July 02, 2019, 07:04:47 AMFox: Was thinking .... tosses = ln(1-goalChance) / ln(1-chance) = "chance" being a single-toss percentage probability (0.00 - 1.00) , goal chance being if you did more tosses... So that's an interesting logarithm. Just came up with it after some research/thinking... and could maybe be useful for general use.
June 25, 2019, 02:51:42 PMryancaesar12345: jupiter revive animation any?
June 24, 2019, 08:05:17 AMFox: Such a patch would mean you need to be careful with item drops, coins, exp, etc. Because those things would then no longer be an infinite supply. Whether or not one uses it depends on what they want to do with it.

AIKEN, S.C. - The Georgia Southwestern men's basketball team had upset on the mind as they led No. 10 USC Aiken by as many as 11 points in the second half, but the Pacers rallied down the stretch and held off GSW, 81-76, on Wednesday evening.
The Hurricanes have lost five of their last seven games and fall to 18-8 overall and 10-7 in the Peach Belt Conference. USC Aiken has lost only one game since Nov. 23 and improves to 23-3 overall and 15-1 in the PBC. The Pacers entered the game 9-1 at home with an average margin of victory of 18.7 points.
The two sides played an even first half. GSW led by five points on three different occasions between the 12 and 4-minute marks of the opening stanza. Josh Birchfield sank a pair of free throws with 5:12 left before the break to put the Hurricanes ahead 28-23. USCA brought the game back to even at 30-30 and after GSW had taken a 36-33 advantage, Jesse Seilern hit a 3-pointer in the closing seconds of the period to make the score an even 36-36 at intermission.
Alan Arnett connected on a jumper for GSW to open the second half and the Hurricanes maintained a lead until Seilern converted a pair of free throws with 6:42 remaining to even the score at 65-65. The Hurricanes largest lead of the night came a few minutes earlier when Daryl Davis put GSW ahead 61-50.
The Pacers grabbed the lead for good when Santoine Butler made a jumper at the 2:06 mark to put USCA ahead 74-73. Following a GSW turnover, Butler extended the margin to four with a 3-pointer. The Hurricanes would get no closer.
Both sides shot over 50 percent in the second half. GSW made 15 of 26 (57.7 percent) while USCA connected on 17 of 32 (53.1 percent). GSW was unable to match the Pacers from long range over the final 20 minutes. USCA made 3 of 5 and GSW was 0 for 6.
Overall, the Pacers held a slight rebounding advantage, 39-34, and an edge on assists, 13-9. GSW committed two more turnovers, 13-11.
Arnett scored a game-high 21 points for GSW. Birchfield came off the bench to score a career-high 18 points behind 7 of 11 shooting. Davis was 6 of 11 from the floor en route to his 18 points. Johathan Brooks chipped in 10 and grabbed nine rebounds.
DeVontae Wright and Ronald Zimmerman finished with 17 points apiece to lead USCA. Wright added six assists and four steals. Zimmerman hit 4 of 8 from beyond the arc. Paul Larsen scored 13 points and pulled down nine rebounds, including four on the offensive end. Seilern added 15 points.

Peabody Police Chief Bruce Burke said Monday that he and his officers still are working on leads they have received in conjunction with the burglary Oct. 9 of the HUB youth center.
"Information is still forthcoming," he said. "As we continue to put the pieces together, leads have been developed. The investigation continues."
Items stolen from the popular youth gathering place were six computers, three flat screen televisions, more than $700 in cash from a recent fundraiser, videogame systems, and many computer games, CDs and DVDs. The HUB had insurance, but the items were insured for cash value not replacement value and since they were about six years old, the insurance settlement was expected to be minimal.
Burke reminds that anyone with information may call him at (620) 983-2133. An answering machine will take the message if no one is in the office. The city website, http://www.peabodyks.com also has an anonymous tip site.
"It is easy to use," Burke said. "Click on 'Departments,' go to the drop-down tab and click 'Police.' The first item to show up is the anonymous tip form."

This past Monday, I found myself cuddled around a wood stove, watching scary movies with friends for Halloween. As it turned out, we had an impromptu dinner party. I amended my original menu for the addition of a few guests. We were all extremely pleased with how it turned out! Seasonal, nutritious, hearty and gluten free, one guest commented that it hits your soul! (In a good way!) Enjoy!
Heat extra virgin olive oil over medium heat and add 1 onion, chopped, 1 large leek, sliced, and 2 cloves of garlic, minced. Cook, stirring frequently about 10 minutes. Add in small cubes of potatoes (I used 2 red skinned, 2 yukon, and 1 large sweet) and cook for 5-10 minutes. Add in 2 cups vegetable broth, and seasonings (I used 2 tbl thyme, 1 tbl oregano, 1tsp black pepper, 1 tsp chipotle powder, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp cumin powder) and stir. Cover, and cook at a low boil/high simmer for about 30 minutes. Add in 1 cup half and half, stir to incorporate, and blend about 3/4 of the soup in a blender until smooth. Return soup to pot and add in small torn up pieces of 3 kale leafs. Cook for about 5-10 more minutes and season to taste.
Toss about 3/4 mesclun mix and 1/4 arugula in a large salad bowl. Add 1-2 plums chopped into small cubes and cherry tomatoes cut in quarters. Toss with a few handfuls of pepitas (pumkin seeds) and a drizzle of Killer Maple Mustard Cider Vinaigrette.
4-5 bosq pears cored and quartered
1 cup local honey
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 cups pineapple juice
1 tsp fresh grated ginger, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg
splash of balsamic vinegar
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pears skin up in a pyrex or ceramic baking dish. Mix liquids and spices together and pour evenly over the pears. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Uncover and cook for 10 more minutes. Carefully pour off the liquid into a small pot and cook over med/high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half and caramelized slightly.
Serve pears with a drizzle of the reduced liquid and vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or brie/goat cheese/other creamy mild cheese. YUM!

Itetemia Gold Project
The Itetemia Gold Project is located 90km southwest of Mwanza in northern Tanzania. The project covers Archaean-age rocks equivalent to those hosting the world-class Bulyanhulu and Geita gold deposits in the Lake Victoria Goldfields of Tanzania.
Access to the project is by road from the town of Mwanza 125km to the northeast or from the town of Kahama, 84km to the south. The project area borders Barrick Gold's Bulyanhulu mine and the main water supply and power lines that service the mine cross the Itetemia project. There is also an airstrip at the mine capable of accommodating medium sized aircraft.
The Itetemia project lies on the Ushirombo branch of the Sukumaland greenstone belt. The geology comprises Nyanzian-age volcano-sedimentary sequences and granite-gneiss. The Nyanzian rocks (greenstones) provide the most prospective terrain for gold mineralization and are divided into three volcano-sedimentary domains in the project area.
The Golden Horseshoe Reef (GHR)
The GHR is the most advanced prospect within the Itetemia project area and has been the focus of exploration since its discovery in 1997 by artisanal miners. Located in the southern part of the project area, the GHR hosts mineralization that comes to the surface and is open along strike to the northwest where a number of drill targets have been established.
The deposit consists of two gold-bearing quartz zones within mafic to felsic volcanics in the southern part of the project. Mineralization is associated with pyrrhotite and pyrite (iron sulphide) occurring in semi-massive to massive sulphide veins, veinlets and stringers, and disseminated and nodular sulphides.
Overall, sulphide content averages 2-10%. Iron sulphide, with traces of sphalerite, sometimes forms massive sulphide intervals of up to one metre in association with quartz veining. Re-mobilized sulphides are associated with localized shearing. Elevated gold grades tend to occur in association with pyrrhotite-rich zones, while the massive pyrite zones report lower gold grades.
Previous exploration
Exploration began at Itetemia in the period 1992 to 1995 and was undertaken by the State Mining Corporation of Tanzania (Stamico) which held the area as part of a larger license they were exploring at the time. Stamico undertook some mapping, soil sampling, ground geophysics, grinding, trenching and air-photo interpretation.
Following the signing of a joint venture with Stamico in 1995, Tanzanian Royalty undertook line cutting, mapping, soil sampling, and ground geophysics. In February 1997 the GHR prospect was discovered by artisanal miners and provided the focus for work by Tanzanian Royalty over the following years. Towards the end of 2007, 2,543m had been drilled in 22 RC holes and 10,209m in 41 diamond core holes at GHR.
Metallurgical test work completed by mine Management in 1998 indicated grinding and agitated tank cyanide leaching of the material will be required to maximize gold recovery. The metallurgical samples were prepared by using composites from six diamond drill holes that were prepared from assay laboratory rejects.
The samples tested ranged in grade from 0.87 g/t gold to over 4.0 g/t gold; however, most of the samples ranged from 3 to 4 g/t gold. A majority of the test work focused on determining the gold extraction from coarsely crushed material. The particle size distribution was shown to be very significant in determining the overall gold extraction from the mineralized material. A standard bottle roll test was carried out on the sample material. A composite sample, grading 3.67 g/t gold, was crushed and finely ground as feed for the test. Following the test, the residue assayed 0.06 g/t gold, yielding an overall gold recovery of 98%.
Exploration potential
Kibo Mining, which previously held the property under an option agreement, undertook a comprehensive synthesis and re-evaluation of all exploration data generated in respect of Itetemia. The focus of this analysis was the GHR where the company sought to establish an open pit mining operation and to extend the mineralization at depth to support an underground mining operation. An August 2009 report by CSA, which carried out preliminary pit optimization modeling on the GHR indicated the potential for the deposit to be mined by open-pit methods, and for follow-on, underground mining should mineral resources of sufficient grade be defined at depth.
In addition to the GHR, there is scope within the remainder of the project to discover additional gold mineral resources through the application of detailed aeromagnetic surveys, soil sampling and ground IP surveys to generate drill targets.
Itetemia has many geological similarities to the Bulyanhulu deposit located only 5 km to the west. Both deposits are hosted by similarly oriented, steeply dipping, sulphide-bearing quartz reefs located near the contact between basalts and distinctive felsic-intermediate volcanic stratigraphy.
The GHR at Itetemia has a strike length of approximately 600m and has been drilled to a depth of 650m compared with Bulyanhulu which has a strike length of 2,000m and has been drilled to a depth of greater than 2,000m. The prospective contact continues for several kilometres within the Itetemia licenses and potential exists to locate additional gold mineralization similar to that within GHR.

In the 1980s the recreational sport of shrimp baiting became popular. Since then state regulations have been set up for catch limits, methods and seasons. A shrimp baiting permit is required at $25 for South Carolina residents. With the permit, you get a set of reflective tape tags to place on a maximum of 10 poles that are stuck in the mud in a row not to exceed 100 yards.
Bait balls about the size of a Burger King Whopper made up of a mix of river mud and fish meal or powdered clay and meal moistened with water are thrown out near the poles. The shrimper in his boat then "runs the poles" casting the net near the poles over the bait catching the shrimp. Dock owners also, with a permit, use bait balls dropped in the water to catch shrimp.
This year the baiting season, which lasts for 60 days, begins at noon Sept. 9 and runs until Nov. 8. The catch limit is 48 quarts whole or 29 quarts headed per boat. There are strict penalties in place for exceeding the limit, with a $5,000 fine and up to 30 days in jail. A license is suspended for two years with confiscation of catch, boat, motor and equipment. Each quart over the limit carries a separate offense.
So, get your permit, grab your net and other necessities and head to the river for some happy shrimping.

Al Kooper didn't know what to play. He'd told some half-truths to get into Bob Dylan's recording session — the musicians were working on some song tentatively titled "Like A Rolling Stone" — and Kooper had been assigned the Hammond organ. There was only one problem: Kooper didn't play the organ. He was a guitarist.
The first takes were predictably terrible — Kooper was just trying not to get kicked out of the studio. But on take four, he suddenly found his chords. Kooper's playing was pure improv — "I was like a little kid fumbling in the dark for a light switch," he would later remember — but he ended up inventing one of the most famous organ riffs in modern music.
There is something profoundly mysterious about this kind of creativity. Kooper didn't have time to think — the chorus was about to happen — and so he just started banging on the ivory keys. This same impromptu process defines some of the most famous creations of modern art, from John Coltrane letting loose on "A Love Supreme," to Jackson Pollock dripping paint haphazardly on a canvas. These are works made entirely in the moment — their beauty is spontaneous.
But how does such an act of imagination happen? How does the mind create on command? William James described the creative process as a "seething cauldron of ideas, where everything is fizzling and bobbing about in a state of bewildering activity." In the last year, two separate experiments have attempted to see inside the cauldron, to figure out how a loom of electric cells finds the exact right notes on the upright organ.
The first study, led by Charles Limb of the NIH and Johns Hopkins University, examined the brain activity of jazz musicians as they played on a piano. The musicians began with pieces that required no imagination such as the C-major scale and a simple blues tune they'd memorized in advance. But then came the creativity condition: The musicians were told to improvise a new melody as they played alongside a recorded jazz quartet.
While the musicians riffed on the piano, giant magnets whirred overhead monitoring minor shifts in their brain activity. The researchers found that jazz improv relied on a carefully choreographed set of mental events, which allowed the musicians to discover their new melodies. Before a single note was played, the pianists exhibited a "deactivation" of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a brain area associated with planned actions and self-control. In other words, they were inhibiting their inhibitions, which allowed the musicians to create without worrying about what they were creating.
But it's not enough to just unleash the mind — successful improv requires a very particular kind of expression. That's why the fMRI machine also recorded a spike in activity in the medial prefrontal cortex, a fold of frontal lobe just behind the eyes. This area is often linked with self-expression — it lights up, for instance, whenever people tell a story in which they're the main character. The scientists argue that this part of the brain is required for jazz improv because the musicians are channeling their artistic identity, searching for the notes that best summarize their style. "Jazz is often described as being an extremely individualistic art form," Limb says. "What we think is happening is when you're telling your own musical story, you're shutting down impulses that might impede the flow of novel ideas."
In the second experiment scientists at Harvard investigated the varieties of musical improvisation. They recruited 12 classically trained pianists and had them spontaneously create both rhythms and melodies. Unlike the Hopkins experiment, which compared brain activity between improv and memorized piano melodies, this brain scanning experiment was primarily designed to compare activity between two different kinds of improv.
As expected, both improv conditions led to a surge in activity in a variety of brain areas, including parts of the premotor cortex and, most intriguingly, the inferior frontal gyrus. The premotor activity is simply an echo of execution — the novel musical patterns, after all, must still be translated by the fingers. The inferior frontal gyrus, however, has primarily been investigated for its role in language — it includes Broca's area, which is essential for the production of speech. Why, then, is it so active when people create music on the piano? The scientists argue that expert musicians create new melodies by relying on the same mental muscles used to create a sentence; every note is another word.
These two brain-scanning studies provide an elegant view into our seething cauldron. They reveal a brain able to selectively silence that which keeps us silent. And just when we've found the courage to create something new, the brain surprises us with an expression of ourselves. We suddenly find our reflection — not in the mirror, or even in our words. It's in the music.
