Fall fell: so that's it for the leaf poetry: some flurries have whitened the edges of roads and lawns: time for that, the snow stuff: & turkeys and old St. Nick: where am I going to find something to write about I haven't already written away: I will have to stop short, look down, look up, look close,
A. R. Ammons
Archie Randolph Ammons was born outside Whiteville, North Carolina, on February 18, 1926. He started writing poetry aboard a U. S. Navy destroyer escort in the South Pacific. After completing service in World War II, he attended Wake Forest University and the University of California at Berkeley.
He went on to work as an elementary school principal, a real estate salesman, an editor, and an executive in his father's biological glass company before he began teaching at Cornell University in 1964.
Ammons published his first book of poems, Ommateum: With Doxology, in 1955. He went on to publish nearly thirty collections, including Bosh and Flapdoodle (W. W. Norton, 2005); Glare (1997); Garbage (1993), which won the National Book Award and the Library of Congress's Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry; A Coast of Trees (1981), which received the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry; Sphere (1974), which received the Bollingen Prize; and Collected Poems 1951-1971 (1972), which won the National Book Award.
About Ammons, the poet Richard Howard has said, "Ammons is our Lucretius, swerving and sideswiping his way into the nature of things, through domestic doldrums, cardinals and quince bushes, fields of sidereal force, out into what he so accurately calls 'joy's surviving radiance.'"
His honors included the Academy's Wallace Stevens Award, the Poetry Society of America's Robert Frost Medal, the Ruth Lilly Prize, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
He lived in Ithaca, New York, where he was Goldwin Smith Professor of Poetry at Cornell University until his retirement in 1998. Ammons died on February 25, 2001.

Dipped in peanut sauce, these beef satés are flavor bombs on a stick. Don't be put off by the long list of ingredients — we promise you won't be disappointed if you make the sauce from scratch. (It's so much fresher and more complex than any bottled product you may have used in the past.) The meat can be marinated and the sauce prepared ahead, so you just need to grill the satés before serving.
- Yield
- Makes 26 hors d'oeuvres
- Active Time
- 1 3/4 hr
- Total Time
- 1 day
- For beef marinade
- 1 lb (1-inch-thick) piece beef rump roast, halved crosswise for easier cutting
- 2 fresh lemongrass stalks (about 3/4 inch wide at base), 1 or 2 outer leaves discarded
- 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots (from 2 large)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne or Indian pure red-chile powder
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- For peanut sauce
- 6 to 8 (2-inch-long) dried red chiles such as prik haeng
- 1 rounded tablespoon tamarind froma pliable block
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 2 cups unsalted shelled roasted peanuts (10 1/2 oz)
- 1 fresh lemongrass stalk (about 3/4 inch wide at base), 1 or 2 outer leaves discarded
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled galangal (fresh or thawed frozen)
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon cayenne or Indian pure red-chile powder
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 cups well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk (10 fl oz; not low-fat)
- 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons packed dark palm sugar or dark brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup water
- Special Equipment
- a mini food processor; an electric coffee/spice grinder; 26 (10-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in warm water 30 minutes
- Slice and marinate beef:
- Arrange beef in 1 layer on a plate and put in freezer 15 minutes to quick-chill (to facilitate cutting). Cut beef across grain into 1/8-inch-thick slices, to make 1-inch-wide strips.
- While beef chills, very thinly slice bottom 6 inches of lemongrass, then mince with a knife, discarding remainder. Finely grind lemongrass and shallots in mini food processor, scraping down side occasionally, until a fluffy paste forms.
- Stir together lemongrass paste, sugar, coriander, turmeric, salt, and cayenne in a bowl until combined well, then add beef strips and toss until coated well. Marinate, covered and chilled, 24 hours.
- Make peanut sauce:
- Soak chiles in boiling-hot water to cover in a bowl until softened, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain in a sieve, discarding soaking liquid and stems, then mince with a knife (including seeds).
- While chiles soak, gently mash tamarind with hot water (1/3 cup) in a bowl using your fingertips until pulp is softened, then force with a rubber spatula through a medium-mesh sieve into a small bowl, discarding solids. Finely grind fennel seeds in grinder.
- Finely grind peanuts in a standard food processor, being careful not to grind to a butter, then transfer to a medium bowl. Very thinly slice bottom 6 inches of lemongrass, then mince with a knife, discarding remainder. Pulse lemongrass, onion, galangal, ginger, coriander, ground fennel, cayenne, and minced chiles in food processor, scraping down side occasionally, until finely ground.
- Heat oil (3 tablespoons) in a 4-quart wide heavy pot over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then add onion mixture and reduce heat to moderately low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion mixture begins to stick, 5 to 6 minutes. Add coconut milk and bring just to a boil over moderate heat, stirring constantly. Add peanuts, tamarind purée, palm sugar, and salt and simmer gently, stirring constantly, 3 minutes. Purée peanut sauce with water (3/4 cup) in cleaned food processor until the consistency of chunky peanut butter, then cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Reserve half for another use. Thread and grill beef: Prepare grill for cooking over indirect heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderately high heat for gas), leaving half of bottom rack free of coals; see Grilling Procedure If using a gas grill, see cooks' note, below.
- Meanwhile, thread 2 or 3 pieces of beef lengthwise onto each skewer (discard marinade), bunching meat slightly to leave half of skewer empty (for holding skewer) and transferring as threaded to a large platter. Drizzle beef with oil (1/4 cup) and turn to coat well.
- To cook using a charcoal grill: Put half of satés on lightly oiled grill rack, arranging them with beef directly over coals and empty part of skewers over side with no coals underneath. Grill, turning over once, 2 minutes total for medium-rare. Grill remaining satés in same manner.
- To cook using a gas grill: If grill has 3 burners, do not turn off middle burner; turn off burner closest to you. Put beef over lit burners with empty part of skewers over side with turned-off burner. Grill, covered, turning over once, 2 minutes total for medium-rare. Grill remaining satés in same manner.
- Serve satés with peanut sauce.
Cooks' notes:
· If you aren't able to grill outdoors, satés can be broiled on oiled rack of a broiler pan 3 inches from heat, turning over once, 2 to 3 minutes. · Peanut sauce keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week or frozen up to 2 months. Thaw if necessary, then reheat over moderate heat, stirring. Thin with water if necessary.

It was a history making day this past Saturday for Emmanuel's cross country program. On a foggy and cool morning, the Lions showed their dominance with a strong showing in the final two miles to win the 2012 Southern States Athletic Conference Championship, in only the program's second year of competition. The Lions also garnered several other SSAC accolades.
"Our guys are special. Lee was pretty aggressive early on, but ultimately, our team showed they're pretty deep and pretty talented," praised Coach Larios. "And they put in a ton of work, since early summer, to be consistent and confident, and Christ-centered. This championship means so much to our team. We're proud to represent Emmanuel on the championship podium. This conference is big and rather competitive and it's getting stronger each semester. It's exciting to be able to represent the SSAC at the NAIA Nationals."
The Lions were once again led by freshman sensation, D'Andre Smalley. Smalley finished 2nd overall in the championship 8k race to lead six other Lions to the All-Conference team. Smalley ran a solid 25:50; finishing close behind were teammates Leonel Ayala and Jonah Holbert. Ayala clocked in an impressive 26:16, good enough for 3rd place overall and one second ahead of Holbert's 4th place finish (26:17). Emmanuel dominated by placing six runners in the top-10. Mitchael Jenkins' 26:42 performance was good enough for 6th overall, while teammates Tucker Hilley (26:42) and Rashaun Tanner (26:55) rounded out 9th and 10th place, respectively.
"This was the first time all season we had our fifth runner inside sixty seconds from our number one runner," added Coach Larios, "which really shows how much of a team effort this was for us. Each guy gutted out a painful race for a decisive team victory. We believe this may be the second SSAC championship in the history of Emmanuel athletics… which makes this win even more special for our guys!"
Emmanuel (#26 NAIA) earned the right to compete at this year's NAIA National Cross Country Championship in Vancouver, WA. The championship festivities are scheduled for November 15-17th.
The Lions not only brought home the championship trophy, they also racked up a number of other SSAC accolades.
The men and women's team were selected as the 2012 SSAC Champions of Character award winners; this award is presented to the team which best exemplifies the five core values of the NAIA's Champions of Character initiative. The honor is voted on by the head coaches of the SSAC teams.
"When both men and women were honored with this award," shared Larios, "it was really humbling and touching. I know how special these students are, but to know that their character is noticed by other teams makes it mean so much more. We were told that it was nearly a unanimous vote among all coaches… that's humbling and honoring."
The Lions also had six men named to the SSAC All-Conference Team. Those earning this distinction by placing in the top-12 spots at this year's championship were D'Andre Smalley (Fr.), Leonel Ayala (So.), Jonah Holbert (So.), Mitchael Jenkins (Fr.), Tucker Hilley (So.), and Rashaun Tanner (So.)
Coach Jose Larios was again honored with the SSAC Coach of the Year Award, his 11th NAIA Region/Conference coaching award. Earning another individual award was sophomore Tucker Hilley. Hilley was selected as this year's SSAC Newcomer of the Year. This award is given to the top transfer student in the SSAC each year. Sophomore Carson Massey also was recognized for being selected as Emmanuel's representative on the Musco Lighting Champions of Character Team.
Emmanuel's men also garnered six spots, the most of any men's SSAC teams, on the SSAC All-Academic Team. Those men, having earned at least a 3.25 in the last two semesters at Emmanuel, were Christopher Bailey (So.), Andrew Murphy (So.), Eddie Burden (So.), Jonah Holbert (So.), Ryan Rosbury (So.), and Phillip Stewart (So.)

1. Re: Deploy and execute VDB in teiidMark Drilling Jul 15, 2011 10:12 AM (in response to Venkat Gokuladoss)
Hi Venkat,
You'll need to bring the legacy MetaMatrix models into Teiid Designer, then re-build prior to deploying to a teiid server. There have been changes since the legacy MetaMatrix days - a MetaMatrix VDB is not guaranteed to work with teiid without re-validating.
2. Re: Deploy and execute VDB in teiidVenkat Gokuladoss Jul 15, 2011 11:05 AM (in response to Mark Drilling)
Hi Mark,
Yes, I rebuilded the meatamatrix models in teiid designer then I deployed in teiid server. But still I am facing the issue. And also once I undepoy the VDB from the server and try to redeploy it, I am not able to redeploy the VDB.
Thanks fro your help.
3. Re: Deploy and execute VDB in teiidVan Halbert Jul 15, 2011 11:18 AM (in response to Venkat Gokuladoss)
This may help: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/MigratingMetamatrixProjectsToTeiidDesigner
The VDB has to be totally rebuilt, because the translators/connectors framework has changed and the internal structurre of the VDB has changed.
4. Re: Deploy and execute VDB in teiidakhil gupta Jul 26, 2011 2:43 AM (in response to Venkat Gokuladoss)
same error Venkat.
Kindly tell me if some solution worked for you
5. Re: Deploy and execute VDB in teiidRamesh Reddy Jul 26, 2011 8:32 AM (in response to akhil gupta)
As mentioned above the VDB from Metamatrix will not work as is. You need to extract models from the Metamatrix VDB project, and rebuild/validate the project in Teiid Designer. Then rebuild VDB (make note that configuring connectors in Metamatrix and Translators in Teiid are different) before deploying to the Teiid server. You also need to configure the data sources in Teiid.
Also delete the "teiid" directory under the "<jboss-as>/server/<profile>/data" to remove any cached content, then re-start.
I suggest you taking quick tour of "Quick Start Example", to understand the basics of Teiid, before diving into migration.

The FIM have released another provisional calendar for the MotoGP series, in response to yet another shake up of the F1 calendar by Bernie Ecclestone.
With F1 and MotoGP having an informal agreement not to have their dates clash, and with MotoGP losing out in terms of TV audience whenever they do, the MotoGP calendar released in September had too many conflicts with F1. As a result of those clashes, four races have now been moved to different dates.
The German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring has been shifted back a week to July 17th. Silverstone, scheduled to be held on the 17th, has been moved to the September 4th. The Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang has been moved from the start to the end of the Asia-Pacific triple header, and will now be run on October 20th. That shift means that the Valencia race has been pushed back a week, to November 13th.

Student Competitions | News
Even though mainframes are about to celebrate their 50th birthday, they aren't going away any time soon. And that's why IBM has expanded its "Master the Mainframe Contest" to include a world championship intended to entice young people to consider learning more about workings of these general-purpose, very large, very fast servers.
The annual Master the Mainframe contest has drawn 68,000 high school and university students since its launch in 2005. Current participants must attend schools that are part of IBM's Academic Initiative, which provides institutions with curriculum and software for teaching their students computer science, information technology and related subjects. Contestants don't need mainframe experience; students build their knowledge as they move along in the competition. Those who competed in 2013 had the opportunity to win Google Nexus 10 tablets, branded clothes and accessories, and trips to IBM's mainframe lab in Poughkeepsie, NY.
Top students from the previous events have been invited to join in on the world championship. The latest iteration will offer 15 preliminary challenges, such as deploying business applications written with Java and COBOL using DB2 for z/OS APIs. Students will participate in those activities remotely with an online leaderboard tracking their progress. Thirty finalists pulled from these early contests will travel from their home countries to New York City in time for the anniversary of IBM's System/360 mainframe, the first computing machine that could be upgraded and used for multiple purposes within the enterprise.
Students attending the special event will work in teams on a "grand finale challenge." The efforts will be evaluated by a "distinguished panel of judges," according to the company. One student will be named the "Master of the Mainframe World Champion."
Representing the United States will be Mugdha Kadam from the University of Florida, who is currently seeking a position as a mainframe business or systems analyst; Elton Cheng, a third year bioengineering major at the University of California, San Diego; and Rudolfs Dambis a student at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
"The Master the Mainframe Contest is a great way to get the millennial generation excited about enterprise computing," said Martin Kennedy, managing director, global enterprise systems, Citi. "I've been following the contest for a number of years and have made successful hires from both IBM's Master the Mainframe Contest as well as their System z Academic Initiative program. I envision a World Championship such as this generating momentum in academia and making educators take a second look at the mainframe in enterprise computing."
Dontrell Harris, a previous contestant, said his involvement resulted in an internship. "The Master the Mainframe Contest opened many doors for me... I was able to translate my knowledge of the mainframe and evolution of key computing workloads into a successful internship experience and hope to parlay those 'in demand' skills into a career upon graduation."

BOSTON, Mass. – For the first-time in the history of the University of Massachusetts Boston men's and women's soccer programs each team had a player named a NSCAA Division III All-New England Region selection, with Stefanos Galouzis (Watertown, Mass.) earning first-team honors and Samantha Place (Newton, N.J.) earning fourth-team honors.
Galouzis became the first player since Romeo Zeqo was named a third team all-region selection in 2007. Place became the first player in program history to earn all-region honors in back-to-back seasons, having been named a second team honoree in 2010.
In 2011, Galouzis once again found himself as the go-to forward for the Beacons. The Little East Conference Offensive Player of the Year, and first team all-conference selection, the Watertown native posted 13 goals and seven assists in his sophomore campaign. Having started in all 17 games, Galouzis was crucial in leading the Beacons to the first 11 wins season since 2006. He also helped UMass Boston earn their first postseason appearance since the '06 as well, as the Beacons competed in the ECAC New England tournament.
A multi-goal scorer on four different occasions, Galouzis ended 2011 having scored at-least one goal in the last four games of the season. He also notched a career-best seven points (3g, 1a) in the season opener against Suffolk University. Later in the season, he would score one goal in the 4-0 victory over Little East Conference opponent Western Connecticut State University, and would later find the back of the net twice, while handing out one assist in the 4-1 conference win over Plymouth State University. In the Beacons ECAC tournament game against Norwich University, Galouzis scored the lone goal in the 3-1 loss to the Cadets.
For Place, her senior season capped off one of the greatest careers ever in the history of UMass Boston women's soccer. A four-time All-Little East Conference honoree, Place led UMass Boston back to the Little East and ECAC New England tournament semi-final rounds in 2011. She was also the foundation to a defense that tallied a program first 12 shutouts and played a major part in the Beacons third-straight 14 wins season.
During her four-seasons in Boston, the New Jersey native appeared in 81 games and tallied four goals and eight assists. In her final two seasons with the Beacons, Place started every single match for UMass Boston, and was named team-captain as both a junior and a senior. Earlier this month, Place was one of three Beacons to be named a NEWISA All-New England Region honoree, making her the first player in the program's history to receive multiple all-region honors in the same season.

The 2011 NFL Draft continues to serve as a sober warning to teams tempted to reach for a quarterback come Thursday night.
Among that year's crop of first-round passers, only Cam Newton saw his club exercise the fifth-year option exclusive to his draft class. Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker and Christian Ponder all loom as street free agents next offseason after failing to emerge as franchise quarterbacks.
Ponder has lost the confidence of the Minnesota Vikings' front office, which today views Matt Cassell as a better starting option and could very likely draft a rookie all over again later this week.Blaine Gabbert's already on his second team after crash-landing in Jacksonville. If Jim Harbaugh can squeeze even a drop of production from the former Jaguar, the 49ers coach should rightly be hailed as a miracle worker.
If anyone still has a shot to reverse fortunes with his current employer it's Locker, who entered Tennessee's offseason program as the team's likely starter -- for now. Support from new coach Ken Whisenhunt has been lukewarm, but Locker does bring unusual athleticism to the role. Still, his play has been inconsistent and his durability has cost him 14 starts over the past two seasons. Locker's place in the pecking order could sour if the Titans draft a rookie.
Five days away from this year's first round, the flock of general managers leading quarterback-needy teams face a familiar dilemma: Where to pick your passer?
Each of this year's signal-callers are riddled with questions, leaving a poll of 17 NFL personnel people conducted by Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel without a clear consensus as to this year's top quarterback. Johnny Manziel earned eight votes and four chose Blake Bortles, while two picked Teddy Bridgewater and Derek Carr. One fellow even pounded the table for Zach Mettenberger!

Hyperbole? Don't think so. Every one of the head coaches on hand when Gabbert, Locker and Ponder were picked have been canned. That alone should have more teams thinking about the "best player available" over reaching for a quarterback flush with question marks.

I thought it was the Top Gear channel!
Isn't it funny how core businesses stop being core when you are making a loss? This is the case for Virgin Media, the cable TV operator, which is loaded down with almost £6bn in debt. Now it wants to sell off its half share in 10 digital TV channels, including Dave and Gold, and aims to raise at least £350m from the disposal, …
But.. I don't believe the problem is that Virgin owns (or owned) its own TV channels. Sky does that too, and it seems to be a reasonable thing for a broadcaster to own at least some of the content that they broadcast.
I think the problem itself lies in ownership of the transmission system - the actual underground cables, roadside boxes and backend switching. Virgin needs to divest itself of the actual physical network either to a spun-off company (National Transcommunications Ltd?) or sell it to an infrastructure company (National Grid, Arqiva, Hutchison Whampoa sping to mind) who actually specialise in this kind of thing. Sky don't bother owning the transmission system (they just rent capacity).. neither should Virgin.
Why would any of those named by you want to pay £6 billion for it ?
The only customer they would have is Virgin.
Also the whole point of Virgin selling these channels is to raise cash to expand the network to 1 million new properties as already stated by them.
The worst thing they could do is to give up control of their network which is private and threfore noone else such as Sky can access and allow others to use it and oversubscribe it to the point it is as slow as DSL is for most.
Virgin supply the full up to speed as all should but no others do.
The channels that Virgin own 50% with the Beeb are not part of the core business.
That has always been telecommunications. Phone and Broadband are their most profitable areas.
As to the BBC having a problem buying these channels thats again not quite correct as they are joint owned by BBC Worldwide a commercial arm of the BBC that would not affect it in any way as licence money is not involved in its purchases.
This would be a good move for both as the BBC would have full control of the channels and Virgin would have £350 million they could invest in expanding their network. Add the £160 million from channels sold to Sky and thats over £500 million for fibre to the home on telegraph poles as reported in stories here as being trialed now.
"That has always been telecommunications"
Always is a bit much. They've only been in the cable comms came for a very few years.
When it comes down to it they made the same mistakes everybody from the big banks down did in the boom years. They stuck their fingers in any pie that took their fancy and then when the boom was over they found they were overextended.
If, instead of shouting about fast broadband in a small area of the country, they concentrated on rolling out their "core business" to the rest of us then in a few years time that core business would be a shoo in. Right now their potential market is limitted.
is Virgin stopped spreading properly
there are exchanges that really need some competition
available on the GRF exchange for example
BT, AOL ( really? ), Orange (I am sure I read they dont want to do it anymore)
and one of the many Talk Talk owned companies, so Talk Talk
to two real choices and not great ones at that.
So we cannot get SKY cool packages, or virgins packages , as there is no cable running uphill for some reason.
Rant over, now point me to an isp that works :)
It's enough that Sky has a virtual monopoly on pay TV via Satellite in Ireland and UK. They should be forced to sell off all their shares in Channels.
I think it's a good decision of Virgin Media to concentrate on being a Cable operator (pipe for VOD, BB, Broadcast pay TV and phone).
Conrad Longmore:
But Virgin Media with this sale will be like the cable version of Arqiva (once part of NTL). Going back to roots as a Distributor (as NTL cable was) and ceasing to be a Broadcaster.
It's Sky that's the problem. Not just here but in other countries too where they want to control Content and Delivery.
I *am* a Virgin Media customer and they still send me spam mail. Only about 1/2 the amount I get from Sky though! As for BT and TalkTalk - I'm going to get a sign put on my door asking the postman to route all the junk I get from them directly to a recycling plant! I get about a three trees worth each year from Sky, BT and TalkTalk. You think they would have realised by now that I'm not going to switch!
wtf!? are you taking the piss? are we both talking about the same beardie and virgin? you know, the one that had a chain of record shops that went bust, virgin trains ('natch), getting his collar felt by the taxman for dodging vat, starting mike oldfield's career, virgin weddings, sinking powerboats, balloons that couldn't stay up in the air, virgin cola, crap airlines and {drum roll} virgin fucking media: "we're so shit at everything we make bt and talk talk look good". there's not much scope for polishing that long line of turds.
More like every week!
I sent them (using Special Delivery) a letter stating that due to the bulk of their (unsolicited) correspondance, I would with immediate effect be charging for archival and storage costs:
25GBP per item, per calendar month or part thereof. Strictly 30 days nett, with 2% penalty per day overdue.
Guess what? Nothing since :o)
"Isn't it funny how core businesses stop being core when you are making a loss?" - well if your "core business" is making a loss, you're in the wrong business. A core business should be one that's profitable. What's the point of deciding your core business should be something you're not making any money out of? It's a shame the MD of one of my previous employers didn't realized that, they might not have gone bust when they did...
Dave is essential viewing when nipping home at lunchtime to make a quick sandwich.
Every other channel seems to have the same antiques programme on (do the unemployed suddenly take an interest in old ornaments? Also, would it not be more profitable to do like car dealers do, and buy at auction then sell in the marketplace?) Dave can be guaranteed to show TG repeats of Clarkson donutting some Porsche while scoffing down a toasted sarnie.
In the evenings it can usually be relied on for some comedy.
It carries the baton left by the departure of Men and Motors (to make room for the disastrous ITV PLAY I might add) 4 years ago. The fact it is on freeview is a godsend to the viewing figures.
The biggest downside is that constantly showing programmes like TG and Mock the Week means that I end up watching repeats of repeats that I've already seen :(
As for Virgin Media, I'm sure they could make a tidy profit (and get me back onboard for a start) if they just improved their Customer Service!

Nov. 9, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Sophomore Nicole Gurr had a match-high 16 kills in leading the U.S. Coast Guard Academy to a 3-0 victory over Mount Ida College in the opening round of the NCAA Women's Volleyball Championship Tournament. The Bears cruised past the Mustangs with scores of 30-18, 30-15 and 30-18 en route to a win in their first NCAA appearance since 1997.
Top-seeded Coast Guard (24-2) met little resistance from eighth-seeded Mount Ida (21-10), which fell behind quickly in all three games. Amanda Pereira totaled a team-best 10 kills and Brianne Cobb recorded a match-high 17 digs to pace the Mustangs.
The Bears won their 20th consecutive match with a dominating attack that was spearheaded by Gurr and supplanted by Kimberly Jung's 11 kills. Jeannie Crump had only 14 swings, but added eight kills and a .500 hitting percentage to the Coast Guard effort.
Christine Rostowfske, who earlier this week was named NEWMAC Player of the Year, set up the offense with a match-best 35 assists. Gurr and Leanna Minton paved the way defensively for Coast Guard with 16 digs a piece.
Coast Guard is historically perfect in first round games of the NCAA Tournament. Winning their opening match in all four appearances (1995, 1996, 1997, 2006), the Bears have never advanced past the second round.

By 1860, Eliza and her boys moved to Ray County, Missouri. I have not been able to determine the cause for that migration. Samuel enlisted as a confederate in the Missouri 1st Cavalry on December 17, 1861. He was captured at the Big Black Bridge during the battle of Vicksburg on May 17, 1863 and sent as a prisoner of war to Fort Delaware and then Point Lookout, Maryland. He was released on March 14, 1864 after taking the oath to not return to the Confederate forces. Of course, he did. I was able to find record of him assigned to the 11th Missouri Infantry and it appears he was assigned here until the end of the war, paroled on June 7, 1865 in Alexandria, Louisiana.

After much adventure, Samuel returned to Missouri and married Frances Wall December 22, 1870 in Ray County, Missouri. The couple had four children, three surviving to adulthood. Garnett McGuire died in infancy.
Samuel and Frances were farmers and owned land to the east and northeast of Morton, Missouri. They lived in a home they called "Woodland Echo." They spent their entire married life in Ray County, Missouri, living in the country near Morton, Missouri and then moving to the city of Hardin when they got older.
Samuel died January 25, 1910 in Hardin, Missouri. Frances died in 1931 and both are buried in Lavelock Cemetery, just north of Hardin, Missouri in Ray County.
Based on the above, here are my due-outs for Samuel:
1. Try to determine why they moved from Kentucky to Ray County, Missouri.
2. Write a post about his military service.
3. Research his travels through Nebraska and Dakota territory.
4. Research his time as a Freemason.
5. Locate a print version of his obituary.

Half term fun in the Ty Gwyrdd!
25 October 2012,
Next week is half term and that means there will be lots going on at the T? Gwyrdd at St Fagans.
On Tuesday and Wednesday next week, 30th and 31st of October, we will be celebrating Halloween by dedicating two days of activities to some of our favourite residents of the museum. We have many species of bat living at St Fagans and there will be a chance to find out much more about these fascinating creatures! What facts do you know about bats? How many of these are true and how many are myths??
With the help of our team of volunteers, including Anne-mie who's an artist, we will also be creating a batty art installation in the T? Gwyrdd. We are hoping to create a large willow bat which we can hang in the house and surround with many, many baby bats! We need your help so that we can make as many of these baby bats as possible! As you can see from the picture, these will all be made from recycled newspaper, elastic bands and pipe cleaners!
Next week also sees St Fagans' Halloween Nights events. The museum will be open after dark with many activities taking place. Again, we will be championing the bat with some crafty activities taking place each night. Halloween Nights take place between Tuesday the 30th of October and Thursday the 1st of November. Tickets MUST be purchased in advance. Click here for more info
Towards the end of next week we will be leaving Halloween behind and taking a look at some of the brilliant foodstuffs that are in season at this time of year! On Friday and Saturday (2nd & 3rd of November) I will be cooking up a treat in the T? Gwyrdd kitchen using some traditional recipes and ingredients grown in the T? Gwyrdd garden! Come along to taste some chutneys, soup and maybe even some cakes! There will also be recipe sheets that you can take home to try out some of the recipes for yourself!
All in all, next week promises to be very busy but lots of fun with plenty going on, so why not pop over to the T? Gwyrdd to see us!

Matching Memory Game Craft
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, January 2010
This colorful memory game is sure to keep the kids entertained for hours. It makes a great gift packaged in a custom holding case.
Tools and Materials
- 24 wooden tiles
- Coarse-grit sandpaper
- Decorative paper
- Paper trimmer or ruler and craft knife
- Martha Stewart Crafts decoupage
- Paintbrush
- Bone folder
- Craft punch
Matching Memory Game How-To
1. Smooth any rough edges on wooden tiles with coarse-grit sandpaper.
2. Cut twenty-four 1 7/8-inch square pieces of decorative paper.
3. On one side of each wooden tile, apply a thin coat of decoupage glue with a paintbrush. Place the paper on the glue and use a bone folder to smooth out any bubbles or curls. Set aside and let dry for about 10 minutes.
4. With a craft punch, punch shapes from different colored papers. You will need to punch two shapes from each color to create the pairs needed for the game. (Note: The cupcake and ice cream cone punches used on "The Martha Stewart Show" have two parts, so colors of tops and bottoms can be mixed up as long as each pair is identical.)
5. With a paintbrush, lightly coat the other side of a tile with Martha Stewart Crafts decoupage glue. Use the tip of a paintbrush to pick up a punched shape and place it on the tile. Lightly brush the shape down with paintbrush. Once secured in place, paint over the whole side with more of the gel. Set aside to dry. Repeat to create 12 pairs of matching tiles.
6. If desired, an additional 2 to 3 coats of decoupage glue can be applied over the whole piece for protection.
Playing the Game (1-4 Players)
Lay all pieces with paper squares facing up. Take turns turning two tiles over at a time. If the colors on the two tiles match, the player removes and keeps them. If the two tiles don't match, the player turns the tiles back over. This continues until all pieces are cleared. In a multiple-player game, the player with the most tiles wins.
Pack of 25 wooden tiles available from Woodworks. Cupcake and ice cream cone craft punches, decorative 12-by-12 paper pad, decoupage glue, paper trimmer, and bone folder available from Martha Stewart Crafts.

Early on a quiet, sunny Wednesday morning, Jean Wallace walked around the old Greylock mansion, inspecting the century-old home's spacious rooms, some damaged by water and a bit of neglect.
The average homebuyer would be shaking her head, imagining tens of thousands of dollars in renovations. But for Wallace, the water-stained walls, the oddball room decorations (a drop ceiling here, a purple carpet there) and a dark, dank basement represented nothing but opportunity.
"You know how when you come to a house and you feel like, 'This is the one!'" she said. "For us, this is it."
Wallace, CEO of the Green Woods Charter School, which announced its intention to buy the Greylock mansion at 209 W. Chestnut Hill Ave., said the chance to move her school onto the spacious grounds of Greylock brought together a whole number of things that she and others at the school were very excited about.
"Here, we have the opportunity to repurpose a building, which we thought was so cool for our kids, our staff and our board to be part of," she said. "It would give us the chance to do what we preach all day."
Green Woods Charter school, a K – 8, environmentally focused charter school, has been operating at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education since it opened in 2002. Like other charter schools in Pennsylvania, it receives funding based on a certain number of dollars awarded for each child enrolled. Green Woods receives $8,700 for each student. The current student population is a little more than 200, but Green Woods plans to expand to more than 600 students in a new facility.
The move to Greylock – Green Woods entered an agreement of sale with the property's owner, Greylock Holdings LLC for $2.2 million – is the centerpiece of the school's growth plans. The school met with neighbors on Feb. 20, but neighbors soon decided that the school's expansion plans were bad for the neighborhood and suggested that Green Woods find a more suitable location.
"We showed them the large drawings and we talked through the process," Wallace said. "Two concerns that came up were about the easements and the traffic. And we talked about how we felt what we were going to do would enhance the easements. Three weeks letter, we got a letter that said if you want to talk with us, talk to our lawyer."
Neighbors have raised a number of concerns, the largest being the impact of adding the traffic from a 700-person school to Chestnut Hill Avenue. But more important to neighbors, they say, is the preservation of the property, which is provided for by an expansive easement document created in 2000 and held by the Chestnut Hill Historical Society. In order to see to the enforcement of those easements, neighbors have formed an organization called the Chestnut Hill Landmarks Committee.
The committee drafted a letter in March to inform the school of its position insisting that the school find a new home. Among other sites neighbors have mentioned, one is the Ivy Leaf Charter School in Germantown, which is for sale for $1.4 million and is located next to Awbury Arboretum.
Wallace said the charter school did look at other locations, but none worked nearly as well as Greylock
"The other sites had nothing on them – they were empty lots," he said. "Philosophically this became an ideal spot with it s proximity to Fairmount Park … We could safely let our K through 4 students have a safe use of the on-site outdoor learning. It's confined enough that we don't have to worry about exploring safely."
Wallace said the school has submitted its plans to the historical society and is waiting to hear back on the status of its application for easement amendment.
But more than anything else, neighbors argue that the school's plans would violate a substantial series of preservation easements held by the Chestnut Hill Historical Society
"The plans of the school are not in keeping with the easements," said neighbor Brad Bank, an attorney who is a member of the new landmarks committee, in a statement to the Local last weekend. "One of the stated purposes of the 2000 agreement that conveyed the original easements, is to avoid increased density and congestion. There is no way to reconcile the high impact use of a school with the property's protective easements. The easements were put in place precisely to prevent such use as proposed by Green Woods."
Indeed, according to the 2000 easement document, there is much more to the easements than maintenance of the building's appearance and the open space of the property. The document contains a long list of restrictions, including language that would maintain the mansion as a private residence "and converted into no more than nine condominiums."
A section in the use restrictions also calls for "no more than two car trips per day by business visitors," if the building were ever converted from residential use.
"The proposed changes to the Greylock property, including the construction of an additional 16,000 square feet of building, would leave it fit for nothing other than a large institutional use in the future," said Bank in his statement. "This does not preserve conservation value."
For the school to go ahead with its plans – a three-phase, multi-million-dollar effort – it needs the historical society to amend the easement document. The historical society currently holds 35 easements worth more than $10 million covering 70 acres of open space and 12 historic building facades.
The historical society's interest in preserving the easement is to maintain its standing as a nonprofit preservation entity, a status, neighbors argue, that the society would jeopardize if it amended the easements in a way that would allow the school to build on the property.
The society's rules on amending easements seem to be fairly strict. According to its website, "it is the policy of the Chestnut Hill Historical Society to hold and enforce its conservation and preservation easements as written. However, CHHS will consider amendments in the limited circumstances outlined in this policy … Generally amendments will only be considered by CHHS if they advance or have a neutral impact on the conservation purposes of the easement, or if they are intended to clarify or correct errors in the original easement or exhibits."
According to CHHS executive director Jennifer Hawk, the society has amended easements it holds three times in the 20 years it has run its easement program.
Wallace said the school's lawyers did review the easement document and she said the school received a lot of positive feedback from the historical society when it first brought the plans to the organization. Wallace said she believed that what the school plans to do – to adopt the old mansion into a school, to preserve a great deal of the property's open space and improve the property's environmental impact on the Wissahickon – would advance the preservation goals of the easments.
For now, she said, the application to amend the easements has been submitted to the historical society and the school is waiting to hear back. That decision is entirely in the hands of the historical society, which has the legal standing and obligation to maintain and enforce all of its easements.
Still, the decision is being watched closely by many in Chestnut Hill who have weighed in on the matter.
Neighbors opposed to the school's plans gathered 100 signatures from nearby residents in a petition delivered to the school at a recent meeting of the Chestnut Hill Development Review Committee.
And this week, the school forwarded a petition to the historical society and the Friends of the Wissahickon, signed by 425 residents of Chestnut Hill, supporting the school's acquisition and move to Greylock. Included with the petition was a map charting the household addresses of signees that show support spread throughout the neighborhood, from north Chestnut Hill to south, east to west.
As some have pointed out, charter schools currently do not select their students – they are chosen by a lottery system. Wallace said, however, that several charter schools have been given permission by the School Reform Commission – the body in charge of the Philadelphia School District and issue of school charters – to employ geographic preference, meaning the school could favor students in the Northwest neighborhoods of Chestnut Hill, Mt. Airy, Germantown and Roxborough. Green Woods charter is up for review in September. The school has asked the School Reform Commission to expand its charter to increase its enrollment.
Bank, in his statement, declined to comment on the school's plans moving forward, suggesting instead that the Chestnut Hill Landmarks Committee was taking a firm stance on the easement matter.
"We would rather not discuss the school's strategies or speculate on the proceedings," he wrote, speaking for the committee. "We have confidence in the CHHS process for enforcement, and we stand ready to assist, enforce, and maintain the easements in any way possible."
Bank referred to a statement made by Greenwoods architect wondering why the school doesn't look elsewhere.
" Joe Jancuska, architect planner for Green Woods, stated 'We don't want it to work unless it works for everybody,'" Bank said. "And this clearly does not work for everybody, let alone Chestnut Hill as a whole."

I wrote a column nearly five years ago urging you to know your cows better through individual identification (ID). If you want more money, you have to market added-value calves. You don't know where they need improving if you don't measure them. You can't fully measure them if you don't ID them — and you can't fully ID them if you don't know their sources.
In January 2001 I wrote a column that focused on ID, predicting a mandatory program while urging adoption of effective, voluntary programs to increase your flow of black ink. Warnings that government might tell you what to do stirred up feelings of anger and fear, but you've had more than three years to get over it.
A mandatory ID system is certainly closer, based on the U.S. Animal Identification Plan (USAIP). A broad, USDA-established industry task force created the plan last year after much deliberation. Some say the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, planted the seed. Anthrax and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) scares added fertilizer and rain. Now it's time for light.
The plan's main goal is to provide 48-hour traceback to identify animals and farms potentially exposed to a foreign animal disease, whether intentional or not. A side benefit is that the plan lets the industry meet the emerging consumer demand for source-verified products.
It can do a lot more than that, because it will show thousands of producers how and where to add value. Most producers still go about the business of beef production with no ID system, but that will change as USAIP phases in.
Unless the law is changed by July, all farms and ranches must have a premises ID by then. You will need individual ID to ship animals across state lines by next summer, and a year later, all cattle sold must have such an ID. Packing plants will have to offer radio-frequency (RFID) readers next summer.
The right attitude can make the most of this. If you typically wean and ship unmarked calves on roundup day, you may need to invest in labor to apply ear tags — and it can be a paying investment if you also vaccinate. Trial after trial proves the added value of calves that remain healthy through the feeding phase.
You should take action now, and not simply because many calves born today will be marketed after July 2005. Individual ID will certainly add to their value then, marking them as capable of moving anywhere. But already, in this BSE-aware world, source- and age-verified fed cattle are worth more — and not just in branded alliances.
Under current regulations, if packers can't be sure your cattle are younger than 30 months, they must examine teeth for clues. "Dentition" is not the most accurate means of telling age, with growth rates varying between and within herds. But in the absence of that chain of records going back to the farm or ranch, teeth variations can take a bite out of premiums.
That's just the latest reason for feedlots to bid up known cattle. For the last few years, value-based marketing had pointed out value differences within pens, with some cattle worth half as much as others in final reckoning. Feedlots began tracking variability and value by source; farmers and ranchers did the same to identify and cull the bottom half over several years. Working together, they discovered trouble in the feedlot traced back to genetics, health or production on the ranch. Working together, they solved problems that made money for both.
The national ID system will be flexible enough to work with every current program, so there's no reason to wait to see if a certain company will be chosen. Simple ear tags and records are enough.
There will be no government mandate to link each calf to a cow, at least not in the current plan. But the economic advantages have already led many to change calving programs to allow that level of ID, even with thousands of cows.
Packers will have RFID readers by the time most of today's calves hit the rail, so electronic ID makes more sense now, though alliances are probably still the best way to get started. The future holds promises of automated record keeping, automatic sorting, global positioning systems, DNA-marker ID and a hundred other innovations. But for now, look at the half-full glass and plan on how to fill it the rest of the way with a profitable ID system.

Watch Craig fish the Tenkara rod Mid winter on the Madison. You'll get a kick out of watching him dodge the ice bergs coming down the river.
This is the question we're asked more than any other during the summer fishing season.
One of the most valuable but least practiced aspects of fly fishing is observation. Observation as in simply taking a few minutes to study the water you're about to fish in an effort to learn what's happening.
Exciting things happen in Yellowstone country when the sun slowly slides down below the Western horizon. Alpenglow lights the surrounding mountains with brilliant color, the heat of the day abruptly subsides, and all but a few die-hard anglers with funny looking headlamps remain.
Too often we hear that the fishing was good but the catching was not. While this is the right spirit, because we all know a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work, there are several things every angler could do to increase the catching part of the fishing experience.

The Congressional Budget Office warns that U.S. economy will fall into a recession unless Congress acts to avert a series of tax increases and budget cuts due to take effect in January. Absent such action, the "fiscal cliff" (or "Taxmageddon") will push the unemployment rate up to 9.1 percent by the end of 2013 and produce economic conditions "that will probably be considered a recession," says the CBO.
This forecast is much more gloomy than the CBO's last estimate of the impact of the fiscal cliff. In January of this year, the CBO said that the fiscal cliff would trigger a mild recession in the first half of 2013, with the economy shrinking by 1.3 percent. Now it foresees a contraction of 2.9 percent in gross domestic product, "similar in magnitude to the recession of the early 1990s."
I doubt that the CBO can accurately predict with this sort of precision the effect on GDP of the fiscal cliff. But the revision of its January forecast is telling, as are its reasons for the revision.
The CBO explains that the revision is due, in part, to certain actions by Congress that have made the fiscal cliff even steeper, i.e., extending a temporary payroll tax break and emergency unemployment benefits. It also says, however, that the underlying economy is weaker than previously predicted.
In other words, the economy has not performed as well as expected this year. This reality stands in contrast to claims by Obama and his team that its policies have worked and that things have been moving in the right direction.
This is just happy talk. Most voters surely see through it, intuiting that which the CBO analysis helps confirm.

|Herbed Saltines
A thoroughly contemporary take on the recipe for 'Souffled Crackers' that dates back to a 1918 cookbook from Fannie Farmer's Boston School of Cooking. Also called 'Ice Crackers' because before baking, the soda crackers are briefly dipped into ice water! Yes, this is a weird retro recipe but oh so ever worthwhile!
Will readers please take it on faith that when I launched 'Summer Easy' that I never once envisioned doctoring saltines with herbs and salt? But I've now made these simple almost-homemade crackers four times in ten days, each time to rave reviews and honestly, despite the totally weird technique, they're just delicious, crispy salty oniony bites.
If taste weren't enough, there are at least two more reasons to love these crackers.
COST Store-bought crackers are expensive, reaching up to $4 and $5 for a 12-ounce box. Saltines are cheap, a pound box sets me back $1.19.
TEMPTATION If a box of Triscuits sneaks into the house, look out, my will power is lousy. Saltines, not so much. If a box is around, there's no temptation to down the box in an evening.
ADAPTABILITY This is definitely a concept recipe to play around with, have a little fun with. I loved a recent batch sprinkled a little barbecue rub, a mix of salt, sweet and heat. One version I've yet to try is a cinnamon and sugar sprinkle to create a 'dessert cracker' to tip with a bit of cream cheese and a piece of fruit.
Time to table: 45 minutes
Makes 3 dozen crackers, easily halved or doubled
- Saltines
- Olive oil
- Good salt – Maldon, fleur de sel
- Chopped fresh herbs – chives (my favorite so far), oregano, thyme or rosemary, say
Preheat oven to 400F. Get out a baking sheet; if it's prone to sticking, line with parchment or a silicone mat.
Fill a large flat bowl with a cup of ice and water to fill. With your hands, submerge four saltines into the ice water for 10 seconds, then arrange flat-side down on the baking sheet about 1/4 inch apart. (Work quickly, the crackers will soften and once they're in place, can't be moved.) When the tray is full, lightly brush or spritz the tops with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and chives.
Bake for 30 minutes or until crisp and golden.
SERVING SUGGESTION Best served the same day. The crackers are perfect as is but also are strong enough to use as a snack cracker for a simple hummus or a bean dip, say. I've also made tiny cucumber and tomato sandwiches with slivers of cheese.

The quickest way between two points is a straight line — unless, of course, you're on the no-fly list.
In the case of Irvine resident Stephen Persaud, who believes he's wrongly listed on the U.S. government's anti-terrorism docket, the quickest way home from the Virgin Islands was a boat to Miami and then three train rides.
Persaud, a nurse, is one of 16 plaintiffs listed in an amended civil complaint filed in federal court by the American Civil Liberties Union that claims the U.S. government gives little redress or explanation for why some people are on the list that bars them from flying over or to the United States.
On May 11, 2010, Persaud, his pregnant wife and their 16-month-old son went to the airport to fly home to Irvine so his wife could give birth to their second son, according to the complaint.
Persaud was studying to become a nurse and visiting family in St. Thomas before his return to the continental U.S.
But upon trying to print their boarding passes, an error screen popped up, and the couple was quickly surrounded by five questioning U.S. government officials.
His wife was allowed to go home with their first son, but in order for Persaud to get home, he had to buy passage on a Carnival cruise headed to Miami, according to the complaint.
On the ship, an FBI agent approached Persaud and told him he needed to cooperate with the FBI or else him getting a job or gaining admission to graduate school could be complicated, the lawsuit asserts.
After Persaud arrived in Miami five days later, the agent allegedly followed him onto a train headed toWashington, D.C., and said Persaud should help the FBI identify people flying to Somalia or those interested in becoming terrorists because he taught English there in 2006, according to the complaint.
Persaud told the agent he didn't associate with such people.
Two train rides and 30 days after his wife and son's flight from the Virgin Islands, Persaud arrived in Irvine. His second son was born 20 days later.
The lawsuit is an effort to remove Persaud's name and those of his fellow defendants from the no-fly list, but it has possible implications for the government revealing who is on the list and the criteria there is for including people on it, said ACLU staff attorney Nusrat J. Choundhury.
The lawsuit also requests that the government pay for all litigation expenses.
Persaud's inclusion on the list prevents him from making the Hajj pilgrimage — a Muslim rite — to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, Choundhury said.
About 20,000 noncitizens and 500 citizens are on the list — it's a number that fluctuates depending on the threat level, said the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center spokesman Trent Duffy.
There are four specific criteria that get people on the list, including posing a threat to the aircraft or its occupants, Duffy said. He added that the names on the list are not disclosed because terrorists are known to change their identities.
The next scheduled hearing in the case is May 11 in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals at the Pioneer Courthouse in Portland, Ore.
Persaud could not be reached directly for comment. His attorney did not know his ethnic background, which can play a role in airport screenings.

Dhrupad and Khayal are the two forms of classical singing that exist today in North India. Dhrupad, the older form, enjoyed wide popularity till the 17th or early 18th century, after which it gradually declined with the emergence of Khayal, a more entertaining style. The nature of Dhrupad music is spiritual, seeking not to entertain, but to induce feelings of peace and spirituality in the listener. The word Dhrupad is derived from Dhruva, the steadfast evening star that moves through the galaxy, and Pada meaning poetry. It is a form of devotional music that traces its origin to the ancient text of Samveda. Though a highly developed classical art with elaborate aesthetics, it is also primarily a form of worship, in which offerings are made to the divine through sound or Nada.
Although Dhrupad originated in the chanting of Vedic hymns and Mantras, it gradually evolved into an independent classical form of music. Dhrupad was initially sung only in the temples, the singer facing the Lord. From this early chanting, Dhrupad evolved into a sophisticated classical form of music. One significant characteristic of Dhrupad is the emphasis on maintaining purity of the Raga. The language of Dhrupad changed from Sanskrit to Brij Bhasha some time between the 12th and the 16th century. Until India's independence, Dhrupad had mainly thrived under the patronage of Mughal and Rajput kings and its complex rendering became intended for royal audiences. The compositions became more secular. Some were written in praise of the emperors, others elaborated on music itself. However the pristine nature of Dhrupad survived and even today, we hear this majestic form of music performed like it was more than 500 years ago in the royal courts of the emperors and kings of India.
Moinuddin & Aminuddin Dagar – Dhrupad in Bageshri :
Gundecha Brothers – Dhrupad in Asavari :
The decline of Dhrupad during the last two centuries coincides with a shift in Indian classical music, when it was accepted that music must primarily entertain, with many of its practitioners switching over to the new form, the Khayal, which progressively increased in popularity and attracted greater patronage. Dhrupad however remained the favoured style in a few imperial courts, mainly in Rajasthan and Bihar, where some Dhrupad Gharanas continued till the late 1940's, when these states were assimilated into the Indian republic. But the sophistication of the musical concepts underlying Dhrupad, and its objective of creating a music that uplifts, but does not necessarily entertain, and that embodies the essence of Indian spiritual thought, has found for it a growing acceptance and admiration in the West. This has made Dhrupad singing, finally a more viable profession for its few remaining practitioners.
Bidur Mallik – Dhrupad in Bhairav :
Siyaram Tiwari – Dhrupad in Darbari :
Dhrupad is performed in two parts – Alap and Bandish. In Alap, the singer uses syllables taken from Sanskrit Mantra which add texture to the notes. The Raga is slowly and methodically developed in a meditative mode. The speed of Alap increases with the use of an accelerating rhythmic pulse that builds to a point, where the melodic patterns literally dance in space. The Bandish is a short poem accompanied by the Pakhawaj (a double-headed horizontal drum). The poem is sung using melodic and rhythmic improvisations. The intricate patterns and improvisations woven by the Pakhawaj player and the singer create a dialogue often playing against or complimenting one another.
Haveli Sangeet is temple music practiced by the Vaishnavites of Nathdwara in Rajasthan. Nathdwara is the main seat of the Vaishnava devotional cult which created a rich historical tradition of temple-based music. 'Haveli' here is referred to a palace that the deity chooses to live in. In comparison to Dhrupad, Haveli Sangeet, as it is known in Rajasthan and Gujarat, claimed superior resilience as it was believed that Lord Krishna himself was the very audience for its performances. In this music practice, the very essence of the song revolves around Krishna Bhakti and is sung in the form of Kirtans, Bhajans and Bhava Nritya. Known to incorporate a fusion of classical and folk music, the dominant style of singing is still Dhrupad and Dhamar. The temples of Radha Vallabh at Vrindaban, Krishna at Nandgaon, Shri Radha Rani at Barsana, and Sri Nathji at Nathdwara are all known to reverberate with Haveli Sangeet.
Pandit Jasraj – Haveli Sangeet – Gokul Mein Bajat :
Rattan Mohan Sharma – Haveli Sangeet – Jago Krishna :
Haveli Sangeet is almost extinct. It is known to be more vulnerable than classical Dhrupad, mainly due to the audience's lack of understanding it. While an 'art music' audience can recognize Dhrupad as well as Haveli Sangeet as more sophisticated musical genres, the ordinary listener would merely consider Haveli Sangeet to be devotional songs like Bhajans.

The surrealist artist Cristina Burns creates tiny, magical worlds made of skulls, toys, and delightfully kitschy knickknacks; her series Through the Mirror appeals to the subconscious mind, inviting viewers to engage with seemingly disparate materials that together form a strangely cohesive narrative. Inspired in part by the Oniric movement, the bizarre and delightfully pink work allows viewers to make surprising associations within carefully constructed scenes; the familiar and the frightful work in tandem, frantically blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.
Burns's images, imbued with the innocent connotations of budding flowers, baby deer figurines, and Victorian lace, introduce comically dark elements: a round eyeball, brains served on a platter with a fork. Together, the delightful and the dangerous work to create arrangements that might be viewed as manic and surreal altars to the dead. In one elegant image, a skeleton attracts the attentions of a large beetle, an insect often symbolic of decay, with the presence of budding funereal flowers and sweets.
The meticulous symmetry of Burns's compositions heightens the idea of supernatural harmony between purity and sin, between life and death. Much of the work centers around a symbol of man and especially womankind's fallenness: Eve or Snow White's skull bites an apple, or a mermaid figurine peers woefully at a deteriorating skull at her feet. In this state of death and corruption, there exists too a powerful sense of play, as seen through delicate china mice, candy hearts, and Disney princess dolls. In this way, Burns's imaginative and feminine dreamscapes capture the allure of mischief, for in our disobedience and fallenness lies a magical sort of madness and celebration.

The 11th Annual Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival will take place from May 12th to the 15th (Thu-Sun), 2011. This one of a kind event was founded in 2000 by the late mystery author Arthur Lyons. The focus is showing the best print possible of these noir gems which often haven't been shown on the big screen since their release in the forties and fifties. These mostly black and white films are characterized by their low lighting emphasis, criminal and lusty situations and high suspense.
The event, which takes place in Palm Springs, has everything. Great movies, silver screen stars, passionate film lovers and ample autograph and book signing opportunities. Cafe Cinema is sponsoring a one day drive down to the festival (on the weekend). Please stay posted.

The future looks warmer for many major cities, that's clear—but perhaps you missed the part where it's also forecast to look wetter. Scientific measurements show that the quantity of rainfall that fell on the Northern Hemisphere intensified in the second half of the 20th century. At least some of that increase can be attributed to anthropogenic climate change, according to a recent study.
Economists, scientists and urban planners are increasingly documenting the growing risks of flood to city dwellers. Perhaps the greatest moment of awareness of this trend, at least among urban leaders, came when the storm waters of 2005's Hurricane Katrina washed away an aging and inadequate infrastructure to devastate New Orleans.
Check out this online tour of recent floods to see how vulnerable even well-planned and highly developed cities and towns can be.
