Happy Diwali and...
The fact is I am not cooking much these days. The sweet ma-in-law who is visiting has been delegated the task to feed the family. Now she cooks delectable delights and had I been the ideal Indian Bahu with virtues like patience, docility, ghunghat…blah blah I would have patiently stood by her side and jotted down recipes in neat cursive writing in my recipe book with expensive monogrammed pages(Do they make those by the way)
But as luck would have it I have neither patience nor cursive writing and in fact not even a decent recipe book. So I don't write, I just come back home, lay the table for dinner and eat the sumptuous meals, all the time doing my bit by praising her culinary skills. In fact I sometimes even suggest the menu and throw in my ideas about how it should be done (ok no one listens..so what), and then cook the Dal of the day while I let Ma-in-law wallow in the pleasure of cooking rest of the meal. The only thing I can't get her to do is measure which no decent cook worth their Indian Spices does, so the blog suffers.
Had I done that, Ekta Kapoor would surely feature me in her next multistarrer "Kkabhi Bahu bhi Saas Banegi"
So you see, that is though you do not see food on my blog I am enjoying good food, family and life. That is I have proved that I actually have a life now outside the Blog. Wow I actually proved something… incredible.
Now to keep the Mom part of the Blog alive a short update on lil' S who in fact refuses to grow up and doesn't even want her Birth Day anymore. Given that I have not read Peter Pan to her yet, I don't know how she got this idea.
She however started showing an increased interest in dancing after we plugged in to 4 Indian Channels who showcase dance and music like there is no tomorrow. In the fear that she could bring shame err fame to the family by becoming the next Rakhi Sawant and dancing to tunes of Himesh, I signed her up for a Indian classical dance lessons. She did not really take to it much initially and even made me hold her hands and do some steps with her. Me with my two left feet holding a 3and ½ year olds hand and dancing Kathak was a sight to behold, but I would do anything, really anything to keep my child safe from Himesh and gang.
Also had much fun at Halloween. I like Halloween because of two primary reasons besides the candy.
The burgeoning cost of costumes have not hit me yet as the lil' one is really good and wants to be princess and nothing but the Princess and does not want any costume per se. So while last year I dressed her up as the Indian princess in her ghagra-choli with a crown, pearly beads and wand this year she was a Princess in a hand-me down pretty Cinderella dress. So whatever the costume as long as there is a crown she is happy.
The second reason might evoke sniggers but I really like this one time chance I get to take a sneak peek at the unknown neighbor's. The unknown always holds enchantment for me and instead of using that curiosity to discover the new planet in the galaxy with intelligent beings, I take sneak peek at the neighbor's (don't get wrong ideas ok ?). The daughter however turned to be too propah and refused to ring doorbells at unknown houses so we did the rounds of familiar boring homes and collected limited candy
And now there is Diwali. Staying in a different land has its advantages. You get to celebrate all your own festivals, adopt the ones that the new country has to offer and also celebrate some which others like you have brought into the culture. The result is nothing but celebrations year round. And even then I pine for Durga Puja back home which actually might turn out something like this (Do read this hilarious post by Anamika)
And that brings me to the actual reason why I wrote this post. To wish all of you A VERY HAPPY DIWALI .
And please do pardon me if you don't see me around that much, I try to and then life happens.
* Pics are from our recent DC pilgrimage
* For all who wanted to know the make of my camera , I mostly use my Canon SD700 IS. The first 2 pics in this post have been taken by the Nikon D80, which is a recent gift from D and which I have not used that much yet.

Sandeepa, have you ever been to D.C. during the cherry blossom season? It is spectacular. Great pics and post. I hope you enjoy your festival and time off from the blog.ReplyDelete
Thanks Asha. You know what Kannadigas say right "Swalpa adjust maadi"...that should be the new mantra of life, makes things much more easier to handle ;-)ReplyDelete
Nooooooooo, many attempts had been made but somehow didn't fall through :(
Last weekend it was pretty chilly there
sandeepa..i could not help laughing about the digs at rakhi sawant..i actually felt kinda sorry for her..but she has milked the cow too far..i saw her acting like a nut in kofee with karan..i had my face covered nearly the whole time, coz i was embarrased for her!!...and glad that u are having a break from cooking...all of us need that :) have a great diwali and my wishes to you and ur family :)ReplyDelete
Don't know much about rakhi sawant truthfully except that i hated her when she was on this one show on Sony.
Haven't seen that Koffee with Karan either

A very happy Diwali Sandeepa. Very nice write up. I am with you on Himesh(Nasal king) and Rakhi sawant bit. I saw her on Kofee with Karan and she looked/behaved nothing like a celebrity(is she a celebrity??). I hate all the mallikas and rakhees of Bollywood.ReplyDelete
That was a nice writing & some good photos, specially the fall colours!! Good for you - Ma-in-law cooks yum food & takes your advice too :-) Enjoy girl till you can.. Happy Diwali to you all.ReplyDelete
Hey SandeepaReplyDelete

I have to disagree with you in the first 4 words itself... a sweet and beautiful one with the Sandeepa touch :)ReplyDelete
Wishing you and your family , a very happy Diwali. Hugs to your lil princess too :)
So Dancing Kathak now, eh :)

Happy Diwali
Hahahahah... i'm rolling here:). Beautiful pictures Sandeepa.ReplyDelete
Enjoy ma-in-laws cooking...
Have fun.
hey sandeepa...nice ma-in-law story..sounds very familiar:) but its ulta in my house...I am the one who keeps feeding them delicious recipes, more bcoz my pa-in-law likes my cooking better than hers:D imagine how that would've put me in her books!!!ReplyDelete
beautiful pics girl...Happy Diwali, and have tonnes of fun!
Ha ha ha, enjoy someone else's cooking as long as you can, Sandeepa. and little S sounded all proud and grown-up, esp when you mention she doesn't want to go to strangers' homes for candy!ReplyDelete
It's so nice having parents at home to do the cooking for you. Makes you feel like a child again...*sigh*ReplyDelete
P.S: Love your post...and yes, enjoy your kid's childhood while it lasts. Before you know, they'll be lecturing you about proper behaviour! ;)
It's always a pleasure catching up with you. Enjoy the "break" :) and Happy Diwali to you and the family.ReplyDelete
Kkabhi Bahu bhi Saas Banegi...ha ha ha :) Now that's what I call foresight. Will keep remembering this line of yours through the day and grinning!ReplyDelete
Good to know you're being pampered with good food and don't need to spend much time in the kitchen.
The pictures were awesome. I loved the sparrows.
And I like the second reason for liking Halloween ;)
Happy Diwali!
kabhi bahu bhi saas banegi!!!! LOL.. i just adore ur sense of humour san...ReplyDelete
and lucky girl, enjoying all yummy food cooked by ma-in-law... ah!!! i still have to experience that properly. i hardly got time to spend with her.
and little S has started kathak classes? hope she is liking it. i hated my classical dance classes initially but later i quite enjoyed it:) and i guess u r getting kathak classes at home by her;) he he he...
wishing u once again a very happy deepavali:)

Sandeepa, as always a pleasure reading your posts. You were in our neck of the woods, if you had given me heads up I would have come to the Mall armed with THE song and we could have (re)united :)ReplyDelete
Well next time do tell me ahead of time and lets also decide on THE song Hindi movie style :)
Wishing you a Very Happy Diwali! Sandeepa dear.ReplyDelete
In all the rattling I forgot to do that!
Yes the trees were still green in DC. The Fall colors would have made a pretty sight
Yeah waiting for that :D
Have not see much of Rakhi Sawant, but Himesh I started hating after seeing him on Sa re Ga Ma. He has all the wrong attitudes. And I just don't like small girls dancing to Bollywood tunes
Taking my advice..not really ;-)
Thanks and have a lovely Diwali
You are a dear. You know what you should write more such comments for me under different names ;-)
Everytime I blog, i wait for a few people to comment and you are one of them. I keep checking until I see yours which inevitably makes my day.
And little S has started on Kathak because that was what the teacher nearest to my house taught. Personally I prefer BharatNatyam or Odissi.
But anything to keep a little girl dancing to our dear Bollywood music.
I do take break from cooking now and then even when we are by ourselves. There is so much work to do anyway that by Thursday I am usually tired and have simple meals. Yes now I get to eat Macher Jhol without cooking though.
You, you , you...Auntie (your Mom) has left just a month and half ago and you forget your glorious days !!!
Thanks. have agreat Diwali
Happy Cook
Thanks dear
Have a great Diwali dear and don't laugh too much :D
Thats a ploy I am telling you :D But its good to get those praises so you can keep cooking:)
Lil' S acts like my grandma at times !!!
She already lectures me, the time has come,, albeit early !!!
Thanks dear and you have a great Diwali too
Yes I shudder at the thought. Ahhh and there is work, if not in the kitchen, then elsewhere :D
I had to really dance with her during the first few lessons and I am no good at it. That too not at my home but at her class with two more tiny girls !!!
This week I refused to though. Till date S has shown interest in spurts but it is ok since she is not yet 4. Maybe she will get hang of it gradually or just refuse when she can decide on her own.
Ha ha...yes but THE song is the toughest decision. maybe we should give Himesh a call (I am not sure if you know who he is)
Have a lovely Diwali with the two DDs and their dad
Pardon my ignorance, I have never heard of these Bollywood personalities. Quite a scene,eh? I don't care whether you cook or not. Keep writing Sandeepa. Be it about food or not, I enjoy reading yr posts thoroughly.ReplyDelete
Beautiful post Sandeepa. Isn't it amazing that you can eat all that delicious food and not have to do the cooking :) Happy Diwali to you and your family and a big hug to little S :)Enjoy your time off!ReplyDelete
Good post Sandeepa! IT made me laugh... love u're writing style. Love the picture of the woods in your backyard.ReplyDelete
Enjoy u're ma-in-law and all the good food! Good luck too for that ;-)
Hugs and Happy Diwali
happy diwali Sandeepa! lovely writeup!ReplyDelete
I really enjoyed reading your article and it does feel nice to have such a sweet mom-in-law...ReplyDelete
I really liked your fall winter photo...
Happy Diwali to you too...
Hey Sandeepa, as usual, this is a cute post :). Happy Diwali to you and your loved ones too, dear :). Am sure you had lots of fun for Diwali. and thanks a ton for sharing the lovely fall foliage picture! i dunno' why, but i feel like singing ek chidiya-anek chidiya song right now :-D. That was a cute one :). i was away for a cpl. of day and got back y'day late evening, so not much Diwali stuf for me, but given that we have a long weekend, i might take some time out to have some fun :-D.ReplyDelete
Wishing you and your lovely family a wonderful Diwali and a joyous festive season! Looks like you all had a lovely vacation!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 11, 2007 4:18 PM
I can certainly empathise with life happening and taking you from your blog! You can be assured, dear Sandeepa, that your lovely photos and prose are most welcome regardless the subject! So glad to hear you are enjoying a full and happy autumn, and (selfishly) I will add -- even if your mother in law doesn't measure, I'd sure love to hear what she's cooking up! :)ReplyDelete
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Hey Sandeepa, Have fun dancing with little S. And your comment about measuring ingredients, anytime me and my mom cook, this is a major struggle. She is like 'oh this is nothing, just add a little' and I go fuming a little :) Am we some measuring ingredient maniacs or what!! :)ReplyDelete
Hi sandeepaReplyDelete
Happy diwali dear!!
the pics are really wonderfull!!
Hope you had a brilliant Diwali Sandeepa. Amar ma akebare aak. She never lets me cook when she's visiting... bit annoying when you have a food blog. I make her write all the recipes down for me in a notebook as punishment...ReplyDelete

Ha ha..girls. My lil one too only wants to dress up as a princess! I wish she would agree to be the Devil once in a while, which in real life she can be too. :-DReplyDelete
And keep her away from Rakhi Sawant videos. I hate that girl! :-S
cnpwweueHi Sandeepa. how lucky to have such a nice MIL :-) I am still giggling at the "kabhi bahu bhi saas banegi" bit... BTW as usual lovely write-up and gorgeous photos. I must sai though I think the credit for the awesome photos (in all your posts) go to you due to the thoughtful composition. Chalo, more later. BTW, the Mahisasur Pala ptr was fun :-)ReplyDelete

yay! You got a D80 :) I too have one :)ReplyDelete
Lovely pictures. Especially the one from your backyard and the Diwali greeting- such an absolute riot of colour. Yes do please keep lil S AWAY from that godawful Rakhi Sawant. Tak abut crude .ReplyDelete

Alan, I think your comments on the monarch categories are good, and would encourage you to fix the categories as you see fit. It seems to me, since this is such a new project, that a lot of things got categorized willy-nilly style (which is understandable), and anything we can do to set things straight, I think it is better sooner than later. I think you'll notice a lot of redundant categorization on some articles too that need cleaned up. --Colest 19:48, 11 June 2007 (EDT)
- Personally, I would check with a Sysop before doing what Colest is suggesting, especially removal of categories. Okay? --Sysop-TK /MyTalk 19:49, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

Re Buglar's "debate"
Bugler; I would qualify for banishment. I am a non-believer in your brand of faith. I also consider myself to be pretty middle of the road in social and political matters, being conservative in some issues and left of centre in others, but certainly do not consider myself Conservative. (In other words I am normal.) I am neither American nor British. I follow the tenets of Christ's teaching and the Commandments without any of the trappings nor the passionate narrowness of orthodoxy of belief that says "we are always right and everyone else is always wrong". I do not attend a church. Too many good and wonderful people have died because that. I am known as a "man of goodwill". I know there are many others like me in Cp. I joined for the sake of the homeschoolers and others who I thought, in my vanity it now seems, might benefit from the breadth of my knowledge and my desire to share it.
Except for a long break enforced by ill-health, I have been editing since early May last year. I work at giving articles in my chosen fields, of a substance that I would have found useful in my teens when I was starting my love affair with history and classical music half a century ago. I believe passionately in historical veracity - and as much as anyone I have repaired the fun and games of historical parodists and mistakes as I have found them. (I fixed two blatant pieces of misinformation yesterday…both well over a year old.) Go through my edits and you will see what I mean. I am actually trying to create a viable encyclopedia.
I know I am blowing my own trumpet, Bugler (um), but there is a reason - there are a lot of us here that are doing this sort of graft, many of whom would qualify for banishment under your "proposal". More and more, Conservapedia is becoming a blog, and less "The Trustworthy Encyclopedia" – your proposal would finish that process.AlanE 23:14, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

I commented on the music page you edited, but just so you know, it's always better to link to the actual page (where possible) than to link to a redirect, just because redirects can be broken, and they are harder to fix then straight links. That is, if the National Association of How To spell set out a new rule that Bach should be spelled Back, you can make one change (on the actual page with the data), and not have to worry about all the redirects. otherwise, you manually have to rewrite a bunch of redirect pages. It does mean spelling out the whole name "J.S. Bach|Bach", but in the long run, it's "better". Or so the world says. grins. --JeanJacques 18:04, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

- I quote:We are trying to build an encyclopedia here. Either help out or get out of the way, HGridley. You might find more people who think you are funny on a liberalpedia, if one exists.
The only truly funny thing about your note is that you call them "cantidates", which is a true record of how liberals treat Black Americans -- telling them "You can't, so depend on the government to do so for you." BHarlan 18:29, 10 November 2008 (EST)
In my eyes, that is also a personal attack. I also consider that BHarlan's edits are, in the main, not particularly encyclopedic. That is my opinion only of course. I suppose I get a bit crabby at people who come and spend nearly all their time on variations on the same theme whilst I am getting up at four in the morning to find the time to do what I do here...which is 99point something per cent true encyclopedic. Can you deny I am trying to actually build an encyclopedia. If you think I am unproductive then ban me. if you agree I am productive then please give me at least some of the same leeway you extend to those you agree with.

- AlanE, please, who are those two great composers that are left? I am planing to have two composers sections to have classical along. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 19:23, 21 November 2008 (EST)
- Brahms and Handel are usually considered right up there at the top.
- Film composers are a funny breed...they use the classical idiom, but its usually up to a century old. The battle scene at the start of "Gladiator" is so much like "Mars" from "The Planets" that it must be a template. The last battle in "Troy" harks back to the "Battle on the Ice" scene in Prokofiev's "Alexander Nevsky". The main phrase in the scene where Superman takes Lois for a fly in the first Superman movie, is a direct pinch from a phrase near the end of Richard Strauss' "Death and Transfiguration". They are very good at their job, but they are not "great" composers in the true sense of the word. Good, if not great composers have written film scores of course...Prokofiev, Shostakovich, William Walton, Vaughan Williams, Copland, Korngold, etc. (And did you know that the first music written specifically for a film was by Saint Saens?) but they were classical composers before they went near films.
Cole Porter, Gershwin, Berlin, Mercer, etc. were great but they were not "classical". They need their own classification. When popular composers try and write something classical (like Meredith Wilson's symphonies, or Leroy Anderson's piano concerto) it never quite gets there. I can think of only one who sits comfortably as a true classical composer whilst feted also in the popular idiom and that Leonard Bernstein. I will now go back into my hole. AlanE 20:02, 21 November 2008 (EST)
- Thank you for your reply. I like Brahms and Händel, but are they as famous as Chopin? --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 07:14, 22 November 2008 (EST)
G'morning, Joaquín. Chopin wrote just for the piano. Apart from a couple of piano concertos and a cello sonata that is all he is known for....solo piano music. Some of the best ever written and much of it of an emotional intensity that can grab you. And for that - as well as for a strange sort of relationship with a strange sort of woman (George Sands) - he has grabbed the imagination of the public's attention (and Hollywood's) as one of the "great" composers. Which he is...for the piano.
Handel is known as one of the top 2 high baroque composers. People say "Bach and Handel" in the one breath - he is that good. Completely different in temperament and style in his output of course - he made and lost fortunes writing for the stage. But posterity owes him as much for his concerti grossi, organ concertos, chamber works, the two suites for augmented military band that have come down to us as the Water Music and Fireworks Music (one of which caused the first recorded traffic jam in history) his anthems and other church music, keyboard music - the lot. He is a part of every British coronation: and Christmas and Easter would not be the same in the English speaking countries without the enumerable Messiahs popping up, not only in concert halls but churches and town halls, and parks - many of them amateur productions. Grass roots stuff. I bet you that you can hum more Handel tunes than any other classical composer. He is part of the fabric of western culture right down to the farmer who turns up at his church hall to rehearse a bit of Handel for the service on Sunday.
As is Brahms, but in a different way. Brahms ain't "popular". Just great. When I say popular I mean amongst the general classical-illiterate public. And he is not for the young....you seem to grow into Brahms with age. He is recognised, though, as one of the truly great composers of "pure music"; that is music not written to a program. He is also considered the true symphonic heir to Beethoven. Like Bach and Handel mark the peak of the high baroque, and Beethoven the classical era, Brahms represents the pinnacle of the Romantic period. After him the movement started breaking up. He wrote four of the 20 great symphonies, two of the twenty great piano concertos, one of the top 4 violin concertos; he is one of the top 5 most popular writers of chamber music. His "Requiem" is in the top 5. He is one of the top four 19th century song composers. Pianists enjoy his many short piano pieces. He is second to none as a writer of "variations". When he died there was a state funeral and procession through the streets of Vienna attended by foreign heads of state...not to mention scores of thousands of ordinary citizens.

- G'day, Joaquín. From the various comments on the Featured Articles talk page, I had gained the impression that those such as I were not likely to be welcomed so had stopped thinking about it. And frankly, I tend to think my articles are unsuited - wrong spelling, not enough references etc because usually I write from my own knowledge, I don't touch America, I don't follow any ideological line (as much as anyone can), I write to the old-fashioned reference book format without great lines and headings taking the eye away from the text and my articles tend to read as much like essays as wiki articles. Ya know wha' I mean? AlanE 17:02, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
Perhaps it would be beneficial if you stopped with the supposition? You were invited to participate first, and then my friend Joaquín brought up the subject of including some of your own articles. Two separate ideas. The main thing that is/was happening with "Featured Articles" is that the original idea was to have a committee decide, not some community vote, as that always leads to parodists and trolls disrupting, and that is why I locked the page. And if you are participating, I will certainly unlock it. The page needs further tweaks to make clear other's suggestions should be on the talk page, and only member's should vote. I hope you will choose to help out, all of us do, but of course that is your decision, Alan. --₮K/Admin/Talk 17:51, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

From a new musician/editor on CP
Hi AlanE! I've just made some substantial changes to the "Arnold Schoenberg" article. The history of his stylistic evolution was a little inaccurate, in that the 12-tone phase didn't start until after 1923. This means also that "Pierrot Lunaire" was actually part of his "free atonal" period. If you think this needs a reference to back it up, I'd be happy to find one. Cheers! JDWpianist 17:59, 16 March 2009 (EDT)
- No problems. (I think.) I am not an atonal fan so I probably tend to lump atonal and 12-tone together somewhat in my brain. I think though that he had the 12-tone down pat by 1923 having worked on it on the quiet (if that is not an oxymoron) for the previous 8 or so years.
- One thing, though. I am protective of my British (Aussie actually} spelling. :-) AlanE 19:10, 16 March 2009 (EDT)
- As you have every right to be! Just to be clear, Schönberg wrote "On the composition with 12-tones" in 1923, and his first compositions to utilise it were published in the same year. There were several years of development, as Schönberg makes clear in his article, but the first evidence appears in this year.JDWpianist 19:26, 16 March 2009 (EDT)

- Terry, in the biography net reference under 1923 it is alluded to sufficiently clearly for me to be satisfied I suppose...... "Introduces a "Method of Composing with Twelve Tones Which are Related Only with One Another", which revolutionizes the traditional concept of harmony by means of a new classification of musical material and therewith lays »the foundations for a new procedure in musical construction which seemed fitted to replace those structural differentations provided formerly by tonal harmonies.« (»Composition with Twelve Tones« 1941)" That's what I based my acceptance on.

- Blimey, mate! No! Alan, do you see a citation about the 12-tone phase? I don't. --₮K/Admin/Talk 19:14, 16 March 2009 (EDT)
Ahh, so it is only a matter of making the citation line note that specific section, so as not to present the reader with an endless scroll, not knowing where to look. Thanks. --₮K/Admin/Talk 20:10, 16 March 2009 (EDT)
- I'd be happy to do that, if I knew how. Is there a place in the help section that explains this?JDWpianist 07:37, 17 March 2009 (EDT)
- If you added the reference by using the ref deal, add the URL within it, and after the end of it, make a space, and add the comment that Alan did, would be easy enough. Like: [www.xyz1234.com Under 1923, it says "Introduces a "Method of Composing with Twelve Tones Which are Related Only with One Another]. That help? --₮K/Admin/Talk 08:05, 17 March 2009 (EDT)

Something completely different, AlanE. I'm interested in adding images as musical examples to some of the musical terms pages. Would you help me with this?JDWpianist 09:58, 17 March 2009 (EDT)

- Sorry to be late answering. I was late logging on this morning (It's a little after 6AM here.) I'm also sorry that I can't help with uploading pictures...there are certain protocols and restrictions and I have never really tried to find out. (Though one day I must, if I am still around) Go to Help Index on the left there. AlsoUser talk:Joaquín Martínez is a senior sysop who loves his pictures and is usually helpful.

- Thanks for the advice. By the way, I just left a note for you under the Prokofiev article.JDWpianist 17:37, 17 March 2009 (EDT)

- Thanks for the advice. By the way, I just left a note for you under the Prokofiev article.JDWpianist 17:37, 17 March 2009 (EDT)
Your thoughtful response in the Prokofiev thread got me reading again (dangerous hobby, I know), and revisiting the old books about music in the Soviet Union. I've started to expand the Shostakovich article, and am interested in your feedback. I plan to do the same with Prokofiev, and even perhaps write an essay on the topic. Let me know what you think.JDWpianist 19:55, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
Just for fun
Good morning. I added a "trivia" section to J.S. Bach, including an amazing story that my doctoral advisor just told me. Thought you'd appreciate it, being a history buff yourself. JDWpianist 10:24, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
- Thanks; enjoyed it. I've always found it interesting that Beethoven considered Handel to be the greater of the two. Then again how many know Louis Spohr who was considered at the time to be greater than Beethoven?
- I am about to let loose with St. Matthew Passion. Please do with it as you will. I know you can improve it. AlanE 16:10, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
- Ahh, yes, I should probably mention it on the page too, but Von Swieten also brought Handel with him to Vienna; I had a hard time working it in in a relevant way. The quote from Mozart's letter to his father is something to the effect of "I go often to Swieten, where only Bach and Handel are played." My personal theory is that Beethoven was too close to Bach to effusively praise him -- a father complex, maybe?? My dissertation (still in the research phase) actually will discuss how Beethoven inherited several of his ideas about key characteristics from the Well-Tempered Clavier, the Mass, and the Passions.
- Ahh, Spohr. That's where weasel words get their name. Of course he "was considered" to be greater than Beethoven at one time, but by whom? Tovey writes about Spohr dismissively (in The Main-Stream of Music and Other Essays, a great book if you happen upon it) by saying that his examples of sonata form, and only his and Hummel's, embody perfectly the academic definition of sonata form, and this is where many theorists got the wrong idea. You will find no examples from Mozart, Haydn, or Beethoven in sonata form as we learn at the conservatories. Conservatism always finds an enthusiastic audience.
- It's also worth remembering that Beethoven's late works disturbed all but his most ardent supporters. Out of the romantics, no one until Wagner felt sympathy enough to champion them: if you want to do some fun influence-spotting, listen to the slow movement of Beethoven's Op. 127, and immediately after that the duet from Act II of Tristan ("O sink hernieder, Nacht der Liebe"). JDWpianist 17:19, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
- Oh duhh! I forgot that I actually mentioned Handel! JDWpianist 17:23, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
- I think the last time I read somewhere of the "greatness" of Spohr (and please realise that my comment above was sarcastic - of course Spohr had no viable claim of greatness) was in a comment about Charles Villiers Stanford who said once that he could remember when Spohr was considered such. Cheers AlanE 17:50, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
St. Matthew Passion
I've done my thing with it, and am quite happy with it as it stands momentarily -- though I still might like to add a section on famous recordings. Take a look and see what you think. It also could use a nice image, perhaps some artwork appropriate for the subject. I'll give a holler to Joaquin about it. JDWpianist 11:59, 3 April 2009 (EDT)

OMG are you ready?
Twilight 5 opens wide wide wide tomorrow!
So far the reviews have been... decent? The movie is rating over 65% at this writing on Rotten Tomatoes although amusingly enough, even the ones who are coming in on a "fresh" ranking seem to amount to... "it doesn't suck" or "at least it's over now".
My friend Lo went to see Breaking Dawn 2 at a screening last night. She asked me what to look out for before she left. I told her to tell me if Ashley Greene's going to be nominated for an Oscar. When she came out, she messaged to say that this could be the year for Ashley Greene, even more so than Anne Hathaway to which I replied, "So Fantine was miscast is what you're saying".
All of Les Miserables was miscast. As Lo posits, Robert Pattinson could have been Valjean and Taylor Lautner Javert. And while we're at it, how dare Daniel Day-Lewis do such a sh-tty job as Lincoln when the role, obviously, belongs to Kellan Lutz? Lo is right -- Hollywood doesn't know what it's doing.
Here are Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Lautner in Spain today promoting the movie. Great accessorising with an otherwise boring dress, by her standards. Pattinson has terrible hair right now. And why has Lautner become an afterthought this go-round?
PS. SPOILER: Ahem. As I reported on December 8, 2010, the "epic war" part at the end of the movie is exactly as I described. Click here for a refresher.

Note: EPA no longer updates this information, but it may be useful as a reference or resource.
In communities with pay-as-you-throw programs (also known as unit pricing or variable-rate pricing), residents are charged for the collection of municipal solid waste—ordinary household trash—based on the amount they throw away. This creates a direct economic incentive to recycle more and to generate less waste.
Traditionally, residents pay for waste collection through property taxes or a fixed fee, regardless of how much—or how little—trash they generate. Pay-As-You-throw (PAYT) breaks with tradition by treating trash services just like electricity, gas, and other utilities. Households pay a variable rate depending on the amount of service they use.
Most communities with PAYT charge residents a fee for each bag or can of waste they generate. In a small number of communities, residents are billed based on the weight of their trash. Either way, these programs are simple and fair. The less individuals throw away, the less they pay.
EPA supports this new approach to solid waste management because it encompasses three interrelated components that are key to successful community programs:
- Environmental Sustainability - Communities with programs in place have reported significant increases in recycling and reductions in waste, due primarily to the waste reduction incentive created by PAYT. Less waste and more recycling mean that fewer natural resources need to be extracted. In addition, greenhouse gas emissions associated with the manufacture, distribution, use, and subsequent disposal of products are reduced as a result of the increased recycling and waste reduction PAYT encourages. In this way, PAYT helps slow the buildup of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere which leads to global climate change. For more information on the link between solid waste and global climate change, go to EPA's Climate Change Web site.
- Economic Sustainability - PAYT is an effective tool for communities struggling to cope with soaring municipal solid waste management expenses. Well-designed programs generate the revenues communities need to cover their solid waste costs, including the costs of such complementary programs as recycling and composting. Residents benefit, too, because they have the opportunity to take control of their trash bills.
- Equity - One of the most important advantages of a variable-rate program may be its inherent fairness. When the cost of managing trash is hidden in taxes or charged at a flat rate, residents who recycle and prevent waste subsidize their neighbors' wastefulness. Under PAYT, residents pay only for what they throw away.
EPA believes that the most successful programs bring these components together through a process of careful consideration and planning. This Web site was developed as part of EPA's ongoing efforts to provide information and tools to local officials, residents, and others interested in PAYT.
To find out more about how these programs work, review the following sections:
- Communities - View maps showing the kinds of programs communities are using, read testimonials from local planners, or find a program near you.
- Articles & Research - Read through studies from the growing body of PAYT research and browse more than 50 magazine articles on PAYT.
- Resources - Explore products designed to help communities plan and implement a program.
- Topics - Find detailed information on PAYT organized by topic, complete with links to case studies and related products.
- Links - Connect to other Web sites containing additional ideas and material on PAYT.
- Frequent Questions - Review answers to frequently asked questions about these programs.
- Site Map - Scan a complete, linked list of this site's contents for the information you need.
Thousands of communities across the country are using PAYT to manage trash in a way that is fair, economically sound, and environmentally sustainable. EPA hopes that this Web site will provide you and your organization with all the information you need.

Cory Monteith Cremated -- Father 'Devastated'
Cory Monteith Cremated Father 'Devastated'
Cory Monteith's body was cremated Tuesday in Vancouver following a private viewing with his family and girlfriend Lea Michele, TMZ has learned -- but Cory's father wasn't invited ... and he's heartbroken.
Cory's dad Joe Monteith -- who is divorced from Cory's mom Ann -- tells TMZ ... he was informed of the cremation after the fact, adding he's "totally devastated" he didn't get a chance to see Cory's body.
We're told Cory's body was released yesterday to his mom, and she decided to hold a viewing at the hospital with Lea and Cory's brother Shaun. Following the viewing, we're told Cory's mom decided to have him cremated.
Cory's dad tells us, "I always loved both my sons and am going to miss Cory very very much. I'm saddened at the fact that I couldn't have been there to see my son before he was cremated."
As for Cory's alleged heroin use ... his dad says he's "shocked."

By Patty Donovan, The Open Group
On July 10, The Open Group will host a special tweet jam to examine "walled gardens" and the effect of social media networks on the web.
The World Wide Web was originally intended to be an open platform – from the early forums for programmers exchanging code or listservs to today's daily photo blogs or corporate website providing product information. Information was meant to be free and available for public consumption, meaning any link on the World Wide Web could be accessed by anyone, anytime.
With the advent of Web 2.0, content no longer roams free. Increasingly, private companies and social networks, such as Facebook and Google Plus, have realized the value of controlling information and restricting the once open flow of the Internet. A link to a Facebook profile, for example, doesn't lead to a member's Facebook page, but instead to an invitation to join Facebook – a closed, member-only network where one must be inside the network to derive any benefit. And once one joins one of these "walled gardens," personal content is shared in ways that are uncontrollable by the user.
As web data continues to explode and more and more information about Internet usage is gathered across sites, the pressure to "grow the gardens" with more personal data and content will continue to increase.
Please join us on July 10 at 9:00 a.m. PT/12:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. BST for a tweet jam that will discuss the future of the web as it relates to information flow, identity management and privacy in the context of "walled garden" networks such as Facebook and Google. We welcome Open Group members and interested participants from all backgrounds to join the session and interact with our panel of experts, including:
- Charlene Li, Altimeter Group (@charleneli)
- Alan Weber, Altimeter Group (@AlanWebber)
- Fahmida Rashid, PC Magazine (@zdFYRashid)
- Tony Bradley, PC World (@TheTonyBradley)
- Jim Hietala, The Open Group (@jim_hietala)
- Dave Lounsbury, The Open Group (@technodad)
- John Fontana, ZDNet – Identity Matters (@johnfontana)
- Dana Gardner, ZDNet – BriefingsDirect (@dana_gardner)
- And more…
To access the discussion, please follow the #ogChat hashtag next Tuesday during the allotted discussion time. Other hashtags we recommend you using include:
- Open Group Conference, Washington, D.C.: #ogDCA
- Facebook: #fb (Twitter account: @facebook)
- Google: #google (Twitter account: @google)
- Identity management: #idM
- Mobile: #mobile
- IT security: @ITsec
- Semantic web: #semanticweb
- Walled garden: #walledgarden
- Web 2.0: #web20
Below is a list of the questions that will be addressed during the hour-long discussion:
- In the context of the World Wide Web, why has there been a shift from the open Internet to portals, apps and walled environments?
- How has this trend affected privacy and control? Do users have enough control over their IDs and content within walled garden networks?
- What has been the role of social and mobile in developing walled gardens? Have they accelerated this trend?
- Can people use the Internet today without joining a walled garden network? What does this say about the current web?
- Is there any way to reconcile the ideals of the early web with the need for companies to own information about users?
- What Web 2.0 lessons learned should be implemented into the next iteration of the web?
And for those of you who are unfamiliar with tweet jams, here is some background information:
What Is a Tweet Jam?
A tweet jam is a one hour "discussion" hosted on Twitter. The purpose of the tweet jam is to share knowledge and answer questions on a chosen topic. Each tweet jam is led by a moderator (Dana Gardner) and a dedicated group of experts to keep the discussion flowing. The public (or anyone using Twitter interested in the topic) is free (and encouraged!) to join the discussion.
Participation Guidance
Whether you're a newbie or veteran Twitter user, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Have your first #ogChat tweet be a self-introduction: name, affiliation, occupation.
- Start all other tweets with the question number you're responding to and the #ogChat hashtag.
- Sample: "Q4 People can still use the Internet without joining a walled garden, but their content exposure would be extremely limited #ogChat"
- Please refrain from product or service promotions. The goal of a tweet jam is to encourage an exchange of knowledge and stimulate discussion.
- While this is a professional get-together, we don't have to be stiff! Informality will not be an issue!
- A tweet jam is akin to a public forum, panel discussion or Town Hall meeting – let's be focused and thoughtful.
If you have any questions prior to the event, please direct them to Rod McLeod (rmcleod at bateman-group dot com). We anticipate a lively chat on July 10 and hope you will be able to join!
Patricia Donovan is Vice President, Membership & Events, at The Open Group and a member of its executive management team. In this role she is involved in determining the company's strategic direction and policy as well as the overall management of that business area. Patricia joined The Open Group in 1988 and has played a key role in the organization's evolution, development and growth since then. She also oversees the company's marketing, conferences and member meetings. She is based in the US.

< Features
Update GNOME 3 to the latest upstream release
- Name: Desktop SIG
- Email: email@example.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 16
- Last updated: 2011-09-28
- Percentage of completion: 100%
The new gnome-contacts application has been packaged and is available in F16, including the gnome-online-accounts infrastructure. GNOME components have been updated to final 3.2.0 release. All of the planned GNOME 3.2 features are included in this release.
Detailed Description
After the major update in Fedora 15, the GNOME desktop returns to its usual model of evolutionary refinements:
- System Settings will gain an "Online Accounts" panel, which provides a central point for managing online accounts like Google, Facebook etc. Setting up e.g. a Google account in this panel will make gmail, contacts and calendar in evolution work out of the box, the gnome-shell calendar will be populated as well, and empathy will have gtalk set up automatically. Here is an early screenshot.
- Contacts is a new contact management application integrating with Empathy, Evolution and the new "Online Accounts" settings panel. Alex has written about it here.
- Documents is a new document management application, which provides a simpler alternative to traditional file management for both local and "in-cloud" documents
- Quick File Previews provide a way to quickly view different kind of files in nautilus. Cosimo has a screenshot.
- More components will be updated to integrate better with GNOME Shell:
- The Login Screen will receive a visual overhaul to match the overall desktop theme
- NetworkManager will use GNOME Shell's system dialogs for authentification
- Much better integration of empathy / telepathy for chat
- Contacts can be searched in the shell overview search
- Color management will for monitors, printers, scanners and similar devices will gain its own, dedicated control-center panel
- Wacom graphics tablets can be configured in the control-center
- GNOME Shell gains an integrated On-screen keyboard, both for accessibility and keyboard-less devices (tablets)
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora stays in sync with upstream.
Some of the 3.2 work is targeted at closing 'gaps' that the initial 3.0 release had, compared to the mature GNOME 2.x desktop.
- Keep existing GNOME packages updated
- Package new dependencies of existing GNOME packages
- itstool
[#702989]used by many packages for doc builds
- yelp-tools
[#713443]used by yelp-xsl
- gnome-online-accounts
[#712949]used by control-center, evolution, gnome-contacts, gnome-documents, etc
- cogl
[#713584]used by clutter
- p11-kit
[#725905]used by gnome-keyring
- libcryptui
[#713584]used by seahorse
- itstool
- Package sushi (the file previewer)
- Package gnome-contacts
- Package gnome-documents, needs tracker 0.11
- Package the (now standalone) aisleriot
How To Test
Things that need particular testing attention:
Fallback on the login screen
- Boot a system on hardware that can run GNOME shell
- Verify that the login screen appears in 'shell' style
- Test that expected login screen functionality works:
- There should be a top panel showing information such as the current date, battery, network, volume
- Existing users should be presented in a list with their photo and name
- Login via password / fingerprint / smartcard should work
- A session choose should be available if multiple desktops are installed
- Now boot a system on hardware that can not run GNOME shell
- Verify that the login screen appears in 'traditional' style
- Test that expected login screen functionality works the same way it did in F15
It is also possible to 'force' fallback mode on a system that is capable of running gnome-shell, by replacing the IsRunnableHelper line in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gdm-shell.session with
On-screen keyboard functionality in gnome-shell
- Log in to a system
- Enable the on-screen keyboard (FIXME: how does one do that ?)
- Disconnect the physical keyboard, or just refrain from using it
- Test that the following things work, with the on-screen keyboard:
- Entering the shell overview, and searching for an application
- Typing a passphrase into a NetworkManager or VPN dialog
- Typing a password into a PolicyKit dialog
- Answering in a message bubble
- Verify that notification appear above the on-screen keyboard, when it is visible
- Test that it is possible to enter 'normal' characters, numbers, 'special' characters such as @ { } % and accented characters using the on-screen keyboard. Accented characters are entered using 'long presses' which bring up a secondary popup.
- Test that shift and modifiers work in the on-screen keyboard
- While interacting with the on-screen keyboard, pay attention to how it interacts with other gnome-shell features, such as the message tray.
Online accounts functionality
- Log into a fresh account
- Go to the online accounts panel in the control-center
- Set up your Google account, set the switches to use it for various things
- Verify that evolution has your Google mail, contacts and calendar information
- Verify that the GNOME shell calendar is populated from your Google calendar.
- Verify that your Google contacts show up in gnome-contacts
- Verify that empathy has Gtalk set up and ready to use
- Verify that the credentials for using these Google services are shared across the various programs: after you logged in once, you should not be asked again for your credentials, unless you explicitly logged out
- Verify that turning off e.g. mail in the online accounts panel, evolution will no longer show your Google mail
User Experience
The integration of Online Accounts/Documents should bring the user experience of the desktop closer to the web. Ongoing integration with GNOME Shell increases the general polish of the desktop. The GDM login screen will appear in the GNOME 3 style.
Depends on upstream GNOME see the GNOME 3.2 schedule
Contingency Plan
If GNOME 3.2 does not happen in time for Fedora 16, ship a release candidate like 3.1.92.
See the GNOME 3.2 feature page, or the release notes once the upstream release has happened.
Release Notes
Fedora 16 includes the latest version of the GNOME 3 desktop, 3.2. For more information about what is new in GNOME, see the Gnome 3.2 release notes.

Add those cute little hedgehogs to the list of pets that can make you sick.
In the last year, 20 people were infected by a rare but dangerous form of salmonella bacteria, and one person died in January. The illnesses were linked to contact with hedgehogs kept as pets, according to a report released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Health officials on Thursday say such cases seem to be increasing.
The CDC recommends thoroughly washing your hands after handling hedgehogs and cleaning pet cages and other equipment outside.
Other pets that carry the salmonella bug are frogs, toads, turtles, snakes, lizards, chicks and ducklings.
Seven of the hedgehog illnesses were in Washington state, including the death - an elderly man from Spokane County who died in January. The other cases were in Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Oregon.
In years past, only one or two illnesses from this salmonella strain have been reported annually, but the numbers rose to 14 in 2011, 18 last year, and two so far this year.
Children younger than five and the elderly are considered at highest risk for severe illness, CDC officials said.
Hedgehogs are small, insect-eating mammals with a coat of stiff quills. In nature, they sometimes live under hedges and defend themselves by rolling up into a spiky ball.
The critters linked to recent illnesses were purchased from various breeders, many of them licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, CDC officials said. Hedgehogs are native to Western Europe, New Zealand and some other parts of the world, but are bred in the United States.
