Question: Whats is the wattage output
Answer: Seems Bose replied to a similar question below… 10-200 watts and 4-8 ohms works with the system. I have a 150watt system and have not cranked it all the way up yet. My ears hurt, literally.
Question: Is it possible to split the center channel signal and have a 2 center channel speakers, one in the front of room and one in the rear?
Answer: Sorry Sadia, It will not be possible to connect as you suggest.

United States Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey has announced the appointment of David L. Neal as Vice Chairman of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), effective January 5, 2009.
Neal is a 1981 Wabash graduate who earned a master's degree in 1984 from Harvard Divinity School, and a juris doctorate in 1989 from Columbia Law School. He is a member of the New York and District of Columbia Bars.
The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA or Board) is the highest administrative body for interpreting and applying immigration laws.
The Board has been given nationwide jurisdiction to hear appeals from certain decisions rendered by Immigration Judges and by District Directors of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in a wide variety of proceedings in which the Government of the United States is one party and the other party is either an alien, a citizen, or a business firm.
Prior to this appointment, Neal had been the Acting Chief Immigration Judge for the Department of Justice. Judge Neal served as an Assistant Chief Immigration Judge (ACIJ) from April 2005 to April 2006. He also served as an immigration judge at the Headquarters Immigration Court from June 2004 to April 2005.
Previously Judge Neal served as special counsel to the Director, EOIR, from January 2003 to June 2004. From October 2001 to January 2003, he served as chief counsel to the Senate Immigration Subcommittee. Judge Neal was an attorney advisor for the Board of Immigration Appeals (EOIR's appellate component) from November 1996 to October 2001.
Judge Neal practiced immigration law in Los Angeles from June 1993 to October 1996 and also served as the director of policy analysis for the American Immigration Lawyers Association from August 1990 to May 1993.
In his capacity as the Chief Immigration Judge, Neal provided overall program direction, articulated policies and procedures, and established priorities for more than 200 Immigration Judges located in 54 Immigration Courts nationwide.
Immigration Judges are responsible for conducting formal administrative proceedings to determine whether foreign-born individuals who are charged with violating immigration law should be removed from the United States or may be granted relief from removal. Immigration judges decide each case independently, and their decisions are final unless appealed or certified to the Board of Immigration Appeals. In the past year, Immigration Judges completed more than 250,000 such proceedings. They also are authorized to administer oaths of citizenship to candidates for naturalization.

A fabulously easy dress that is a great basic with some nice design details and a beautiful neckline. The easy design allows easy design and fitting adaptations. Try to replace the front and back tuck with a princess seam if you would like a more fitted look and eliminate the pockets for a less sporty and more simplistic and sleek version.

It kinda reminds me of the danielle dress minus the sleeves! I still love it though, and the fabric is gorgeous!!
May 28, 2008, 11.46 AMby sewvain
i love, love, love, love, LOVE this!
May 16, 2008, 08.50 PMby starrgirl
I will definately make this dress! although thinking about it I may put the zipper in the back, and expose it. Ive noticed a lot of designers are doing that.
May 14, 2008, 09.32 PMby ansusinha1
I am obsessed with the fabric you used! tell me tell me tell me where it's from!!
Apr 24, 2008, 01.46 AMby jendockter
I love the new photo style because it shows how the garment moves on a person. There are close-ups of important details that we wouldn't otherwise see, and well if a technical diagram of it is needed, that's on the pattern's page. Also, to note, it is obvious to me (as someone who uses the software daily) that these photos aren't really photoshopped or touched up that much at all because well, if someone was going to go through the trouble of airbrushing, they would have made the model's armpits a lot prettier than they are!
Apr 21, 2008, 04.56 PMby yoshimi
Yes, this is a great dress! It's simple but beautiful. Well, I agree with Lilo regarding the new photo style, I love the recent pictures very much at the same time though. It would be helpful to see at least one picture with which we can see how the garments actually look by themselves on the models . Technical drawings help a lot, but I think one more hint would be great.
Apr 17, 2008, 06.53 AMby lilo
The dress is lovely!
Opposite to everybody else I'm not so fond of the new photo style: as photos they are great, but there is no ONE pic that shows how the dress actually looks like; or turn it around – any dress (even an ugly one) will look good when flashed up this way. I want to see good craftmanship, skilled photoshopping can't replace that.
Apr 16, 2008, 04.23 AMby hank
I'm very nearly finished my attempt at this gorgeous creation, I just decided to look at the photos again and realised that my pleats on the bodice are turned the wrong way!!! Aghhhhh, It's still very pretty, I'll post a photo upon completion.
Apr 15, 2008, 07.32 AMby sallyosborn
I love this! I'm going to make it tonight out of a light pink/salmon silk for the evening! Loving the shoot style and model.
Apr 9, 2008, 01.32 PMby sunnilj9
This is such a great dress! I love love love this! The style is simple, but chic. And I love this fabric choice. Thank you burdastyle.
Apr 8, 2008, 12.33 PMby nuiwida23
I'm so excited! This dress is stunning, and I can't wait to make it! It looks so retro, which I love! I can't believe I've let myself pile up all of these projects….hey, there are worse things!
Apr 8, 2008, 10.58 AMby staticstasy
Nice dress….. but i don't know if i would do the whole printing out and gluing together thing for something so simple.. anyway!
Great pictures lately!
Apr 8, 2008, 03.42 AMby clairelovestosew
Oh Burdastyle, why you gotta play me like this? I wanna rush out now and buy new fabric for this amazing dress!
Apr 7, 2008, 06.03 PMby marcy harriell | oonaballoona
i LOVE these fabrics together and pockets make me drool with happiness… i also agree, the models & colors you're using are so unique, love it!
Apr 7, 2008, 04.11 PMby emilykate
I'm loving that this has cap sleeves- it'll be quick to make, set-in sleeves are ALWAYS the hard part for me with shirts/dresses! What's also really cool is that there's less fabric needed- a dress with sleeves usually needs close to like 3m of fabric!! This would be a nice work dress, I can see it looking really smart with a shirt underneath! What's also really cool is that there's less fabric needed. BTW I'm loving these last few colourful photoshoots too! As for charging for the odd pattern- after having created and uploaded only ONE pattern myself, that consisted of only three pattern pieces, and took me a whole weekend, I can certainly appreciate the huge amount of work that you BurdaGirls put into creating your professional patterns. I am credit-cardless so sadly won't be able to partake but I hope they are success and allow you to continue to run the site! E.T.A. I just read in the forum that paypal is an option for paying for patterns too!

SQUEE!!! This is so perfect, I am without words
Apr 7, 2008, 02.54 PMby kallers
Love it! It would look great in a retro polka-dot… Man, when am I going to catch up with all these great patterns coming up?!
Apr 7, 2008, 02.17 PMby squirrellypoo
ooh I love it! Such a quick and pretty summer dress. I can really see this one as a casual, every day dress or a superluxe cocktail dress depending on the fabric. And I'm such a sucker for pockets and cool necklines!
Apr 7, 2008, 02.02 PMby polychromatin
Very very very nice dress :) I like it a lot! And gorgeous model! I like the "new fotoshoots"! :)

EPIC v. DOJ - Warrantless Wiretapping Program
Top News
- Court Blocks EPIC's Efforts to Obtain "Predictive Analytics Report": A federal court in the District of Columbia has blocked EPIC's efforts to obtain a secret "Predictive Analytics Report" in a FOIA case against the Department of Justice. The court sided with the agency which had withheld the report and asserted the "Presidential communications privilege." Neither the Supreme Court nor the D.C. Circuit has ever permitted a federal agency to invoke that privilege in a FOIA case. EPIC sued the agency in 2017 to obtain records about "risk assessment" tools in the criminal justice system. These techniques are used to set bail, determine criminal sentences, and even contribute to determinations about guilt or innocence. Many criminal justice experts oppose their use. EPIC has pursued several FOIA cases concerning "algorithmic transparency," passenger risk assessment, "future crime" prediction, and proprietary forensic analysis. The case is EPIC v. DOJ (Aug. 14, 2018 D.D.C.). EPIC is considering an appeal. (Aug. 16, 2018)
- EPIC FOIA: Justice Department Admits Algorithmic Sentencing Report Doesn't Exist: The Justice Department, in response to an EPIC FOIA lawsuit, has admitted that the United States Sentencing Commission never produced an evaluation of "risk assessment" tools in criminal sentencing. In 2014, Attorney General Eric Holder expressed concern about bias in criminal sentencing "risk assessments" and called on the Sentencing Commission to study the problem and produce a report. But after EPIC requested that study and sued the DOJ to obtain it, the DOJ conceded that the report was never produced. EPIC did obtain emails confirming the existence of a 2014 DOJ report about "predictive policing" algorithms, but the agency also withheld that report. "Risk assessments" are secret techniques used to set bail, to determine criminal sentences, and even make decisions about guilt or innocence. EPIC has pursued several FOIA cases to promote "algorithmic transparency", including cases on passenger risk assessment, "future crime" prediction, and proprietary forensic analysis. (Dec. 15, 2017)
- EPIC v. DOJ: Court Orders DOJ to Defend Withholding of FISA Reports: A federal court, ruling in an EPIC FOIA lawsuit, has ordered the Department of Justice to defend the agency's refusal to release portions of its Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) reports. The semiannual reports, prepared for Congressional oversight committees, summarize significant FISA Court decisions and include the total number of FISA applications filed by the government and the number of U.S. persons targeted for surveillance. Though the court ruled that the DOJ can withhold some of the material requested by EPIC, the court found multiple "inconsistencies in the redactions that the government must address." Previously, EPIC's FOIA request and lawsuit led to the release of secret documents about the government's use of pen registers to collect records of private communications. (Nov. 7, 2017)
- EPIC Tells Congress US-UK Surveillance Agreement Should be Made Public: EPIC has sent a statement to the House Judiciary Committee for a hearing on "Data Stored Abroad." According to news reports, the United States and the United Kingdom are drafting a secret agreement for transnational access to personal data that would bypass legal and judicial safeguards. In November 2016, EPIC filed a FOIA Request for the draft US-UK agreement. The Justice Department recently informed EPIC that responsive documents had been located and would be referred to the State Department for additional processing. EPIC has long pursued public release of international agreements. In 2016, EPIC obtained the "Umbrella Agreement," concerning the transfer of personal data from the EU to the US, after a successful Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. (Jun. 14, 2017)
- Court Orders DOJ to Justify Withholding of FISA Reports in EPIC FOIA Suit: A federal court in Washington, DC ruled today that the Justice Department's explanation for withholding information about the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court was "manifestly insufficient." In EPIC v. Department of Justice, EPIC is seeking release of FISA surveillance reports routinely provided to Congress. The court ordered the government to submit the reports for review, and to provide specific reasons for withholding the material sought by EPIC. For almost 20 years, EPIC has made available information about FISC orders and surveillance reports. As EPIC explained to the court, release of these materials is of the "utmost importance to the public." (Feb. 4, 2016)
- EPIC Seeks Reports on FISA Court Decisions: In a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Department of Justice, EPIC filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on Friday arguing that the agency improperly withheld surveillance reports sought by EPIC. The semiannual reports, prepared for Congressional oversight committees, summarize significant FISA Court decisions and include the total number of FISA applications filed by the government and the number of U.S. persons targeted for surveillance. They are similar to reports that are routinely disclosed to the public. EPIC argued that the "FISA Pen Register" reports should also be disclosed because they describe topics of "utmost importance to the public and are necessary to inform the ongoing debate over current surveillance authorities." EPIC maintains a summary of all the annual FISA statistics published by the Attorney General. For more information, see EPIC v. DOJ: FISA Pen Register Reports and EPIC: FISA Court Orders. (Nov. 24, 2014)
- EPIC (Finally) Obtains Memos on Warrantless Wiretapping Program: More than eight years after filing a Freedom of Information Act request for the legal justification behind the "Warrantless Wiretapping" program of President Bush, EPIC has now obtained a mostly unredacted version of two key memos (OLC54) and (OLC85) by former Justice Department official Jack Goldsmith. EPIC requested these memos just four hours after the New York Times broke the story about the program in December 2005. When the agency failed to release the documents, EPIC filed a lawsuit. The ACLU and the National Security Archive later joined the case. These two Office of Legal Counsel memos offer the fullest justification of the warrantless wiretapping program available to date, arguing that the president has inherent constitutional power to monitor American's communications without a warrant in a time of war. But some parts of the legal analysis, including possibly contrary authority, are still being withheld. The warrantless wiretapping program was part of "Stellar Wind," a broad program of email interception, phone record collection, and data collection undertaken by the NSA without the approval of Congress. For more information see EPIC: EPIC v. DOJ: Warrantless Wiretapping Program. (Sep. 8, 2014)
- Documents Obtained by EPIC Lawsuit Show NSA's Internet Metadata Program Was Sharply Criticized By FISA Judges While Congressional Oversight Lagged for Years: In a FOIA lawsuit against the Department of Justice, EPIC has obtained many documents about the NSA's Internet Metadata program. These include the Government's original FISA application seeking authorization to collect data from millions of e-mails, as well as declarations from NSA officials describing the program. The documents show that FISA Court Judge John Bates chastised the agency for "long-standing and pervasive violations of the prior [court] orders in this matter.'' The FISA Court first authorized the program in 2004, but the documents obtained by EPIC show that the legal justification was not provided to Congress until 2009. The documents also reveal that the DOJ withheld information about the program in testimony for the Senate Intelligence hearing prior to the reauthorization of the legal authority. The program was shut down in 2011 after a detailed review. For more information, see EPIC v. DOJ (FISA Pen Register) and EPIC: Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. (Aug. 12, 2014)
- Federal Appeals Court Releases "Drone Killing" Memo, EPIC Filed Amicus: The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit today made public the legal analysis justifying the Administration's controversial "targeted killing" drone program. The action follows an earlier ruling by the federal appeals court in New York Times v. Department of Justice. The government had argued that this memo could not be disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act because it was a privileged "deliberative" document. But the plaintiffs explained that the government relied on the analysis to defend the program and that it operated as secret law. EPIC filed an amicus brief, supported by seven open government organization, arguing that under the FOIA such a legal opinion by the Justice Department cannot be a deliberative documents. The federal appeals court agreed, and has now released the opinion to the public. Last week, in EPIC v. NSA the Department of Justice released to EPIC NSPD-54, the President Directive concerning cybersecurity. For more information, see EPIC: New York Times v. DOJ and EPIC v. DOJ - Warrantless Wiretapping Program. (Jun. 23, 2014)
- Appeals Court Orders Release of Classified Legal Analysis, EPIC Filed Amicus Brief: A federal court of appeals has ruled that the Department of Justice must release the legal analysis justifying the controversial "targeted killing" drone program. The government argued in New York Times v. Department of Justice that the analysis should be exempt from release as a privileged communication. But the ACLU and the New York Times, supported by EPIC and other open government organizations, argued that because the government relied on the legal reasoning to justify the drone program it cannot be kept secret. The Second Circuit agreed, ruling that the after "senior Government officials have assured the public" that the program is "lawful and that . . . advice establishes the legal boundaries," it can no longer claim that the document is exempt from FOIA. EPIC has pursued a similar case for more than seven years, seeking the disclosure of the OLC's legal analysis of the Warrantless Wiretapping program. And earlier this year EPIC wrote in the New York Times that if "the Justice Department expects others to follow its advice, the analysis that supports its conclusions should be made public." For more information, see EPIC: New York Times v. DOJ and EPIC: EPIC v. DOJ - Warrantless Wiretapping Program. (Apr. 21, 2014)
- In EPIC Case for Wiretap Memos, Federal Judge to Review Justice Department Documents. In EPIC v. DOJ, EPIC, the ACLU, and the National Security Archive are seeking government documents regarding the President's warrantless wiretapping program. Today, a federal court ordered the Department of Justice to provide for inspection copies of legal memos authored by government lawyers. The opinions, prepared by the Office of Legal Counsel, provided the legal basis for the President to wiretap US citizens in the United States without court approval. EPIC began the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit in December 2005, after the New York Times first reported the details of the wiretap program. (Oct. 31)
- EPIC Urges Court to Assess Government Secrecy Claims in Domestic Surveillance Case. EPIC, in a joint brief (pdf) with the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Security Archive, asked a federal court to order the Department of Justice to produce legal opinions that were prepared to justify the President's domestic surveillance program. The brief renews EPIC's request that a federal judge review the documents held by the agency and determine whether they should be kept from the public. In December 2005, immediately after press reports uncovered the President's surveillance program, EPIC requested the legal opinions that were prepared to justify the program. The government refused to produce many key documents, and EPIC sued under the Freedom of Information Act. (February 6, 2008)
- EPIC v. DOJ: Court Rejects Secrecy Claims in FOIA Case. A federal district court today ordered (pdf) the Department of Justice to be more forthcoming about the basis for withholding documents concerning the President's domestic surveillance program. In December 2005, immediately following the press report of the program, EPIC requested legal opinions and related documents that were prepared to justify and monitor the warrantless surveillance program. The American Civil Liberties Union and the National Security Archive also submitted FOIA requests. A federal court has now ruled in EPIC v. DOJ (pdf) that the Department of Justice's basis for withholding the documents were "too vague and general," and that the FBI's justifications, in particular, are "wholly inadequate." By October 12, the Department must provide far more detailed information to EPIC and the other plaintiffs. (Sept. 5, 2007)
- In Court Filing, EPIC Urges Release of Documents Concerning the NSA Surveillance Program In papers (pdf) filed in Washington, DC, today, EPIC, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the National Security Archive urged a federal district court to require the Justice Department to disclose documents about the NSA Domestic Surveillance program. The motion follows the testimony (pdf) of former Deputy Attorney General James Comey before the Senate Judiciary Committee that indicated that top officials at the Department of Justice believed that the program was illegal. EPIC first sought documents regarding the legal basis for the program just hours after the warrantless surveillance program was first reported in the New York Times in December 2005. (March 23, 2007)
In December 2005, the New York Times reported that President Bush secretly issued an executive order in 2002 authorizing the National Security Agency to conduct warrantless surveillance of international telephone and Internet communications on American soil. President Bush acknowledged the existence of the NSA surveillance program and vowed that its activities would continue.
EPIC submitted FOIA requests to the NSA and four Department of Justice components just hours after the existence of the warrantless surveillance program was first reported. Noting the extraordinary public interest in the program - and its potential illegality - EPIC asked the agencies to expedite the processing of the requests.
The DOJ agreed that the requests warranted priority treatment, but has now failed to comply with the FOIA's usual time limit of twenty working days. In January 2006, EPIC filed a lawsuit (pdf) against the DOJ to compel the immediate disclosure of information concerning the NSA surveillance program, and asked (pdf) the federal district court in Washington to issue a preliminary injunction requiring the release of relevant documents within 20 days. EPIC's case has been consolidated with a lawsuit (pdf) filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and National Security Archive concerning the same documents.
On February 16, 2006, U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy ordered (pdf) the DOJ to process and release documents concerning the NSA program within 20 days, or by March 8, 2006. The day before it was required to disclose the documents, the Justice Department asked (pdf) Judge Kennedy for an additional four months to process some of the material responsive to EPIC's request, which Judge Kennedy has allowed (pdf).
Once the DOJ completes its processing of the material, any decision to withhold the requested documents will be subject to judicial review, and Judge Kennedy will have the ability to order "in camera" production of the material and make an independent determination concerning public disclosure.
The NSA has released two internal messages (pdf) in response to EPIC's request, but is withholding all other responsive material. EPIC filed suit (pdf) against the NSA in February 2006, asking a federal court to compel the release of the withheld documents. EPIC later dismissed the case.

In an e-mail, David S. Kris wrote that the the Justice Department's defense of the program, "had a slightly after-the-fact quality or feeling to them."

In response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit (pdf) filed by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a federal judge has ordered (pdf) the Department of Justice to process and release documents related to the Bush Administration's warrantless surveillance program by March 8. It is the first court opinion addressing the controversial domestic spying operation. "President Bush has invited meaningful debate about the warrantless surveillance program," U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy wrote. "That can only occur if DOJ processes [EPIC's] FOIA requests in a timely fashion and releases the information sought." (Feb. 16, 2006)

Senior Nellie Moore was able to bring Mason Moreland around the bases safely with a single out to center field. After one more out, senior Jordan Miller was able to hit a single to the right field allowing Nellie Moore to get home.
Young Harris was able to finally get runs on the board during the fourth inning when two singles into the left field were able to bring in a run each.
The Lady 'Canes responded in the bottom with a run scored by Jordan Miller from a single down the left line by senior Chelsea Hodges.
With no more runs scored the game ended in the Hurricanes favor 3-2. Moreland was able to add two stolen bases to the books after this game. Hayley Knight also succeeded in stealing one base during game one.

Young Harris' Sarah Magill hit a double into left center to allow one runner to cross home plate. This turned into the only run the Mountain Lions obtained.
The Lady 'Canes were able to get one more run after Chelsea Hodges hit a single to right field, then she was able to advance on two outs. Chelsea Hodges finished her trip around the bases when the pitcher threw a wild pitch.
The Lady 'Canes finished the game when a Mountain Lion hit a line drive to Jordan Miller, who then dove to get the final out at third base! Jordan Miller concluded game two with an unassisted double play.

John Battelle, founder and executive chairman of Federated Media, has always been a fan of Amazon, but never really felt an emotional connection to the company until now.
Batelle recently received an email from Amazon notifying him that he has 146 CDs eligible for AutoRip.
"Now THAT is surprise and delight," Battelle writes on his blog. "This is how you leverage your past relationship with your customers to foster massive loyalty."
AutoRip is one of Amazon's latest features that gives CD buyers free digital copies of songs to store in their Amazon Cloud Player library.
Battelle says that AutoRip is the "exact opposite" of what he typically expects from the music industry.
"I have no idea how Amazon got them to play along with this, but I am sure as hell glad they did," Battelle writes.

NYC ballet is gem of SPAC
A summer evening at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center may be a respite and idyll for many. But for those of us concerned about the arts in our region, it also can be a troubling experience as the venue wrestles with rising budgets and shrinking audiences.
Any conversation at the end of the night almost invariably includes remarks not just about the quality of what was presented onstage, but also the size of the crowd.
SPAC's recent release of attendance figures for its classical events — audience levels were basically stable for the New York City Ballet and the Philadelphia Orchestra — sparks some observations and suggestions, mostly focusing on programming and priorities.
With the New York City Ballet's residency next year being reduced from two weeks to one (it was once four weeks), let's hope that every performance features different ballets. I attended twice this past summer and might have been there more, but I didn't want to sit through repeats of things I'd already seen just one or two nights prior.
For example, the program on opening night, Tuesday, July 10, ended with Balanchine's "Symphony in C." The new costumes with Swarovski crystals looked great, by the way.
I wanted to go two days later to catch the revival of "The Waltz Project" by Peter Martins, but among the three works on that program was, again, "Symphony in C." Precious few summer evenings and expensive gasoline contributed to my decision to stay home.
Martins and Marcia White need to remember that some ballet fans may relish comparing different ballerinas in repeated works. But most of us cherry-pick what to see. So keep the repertoire fresh, please.
It's hard to argue with the ever-rising cost of presenting the ballet, which is the reason for the ever-reduced seasons. And it's admirable that next year two other companies, National Ballet of Canada and the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, will be brought in for seven performances.
Yet one still has to wonder about setting priorities and allocating resources among the existing components of the classical season. There's an increasing and obvious imbalance between the orchestra, whose residency remains three weeks in duration, and the continued cutbacks for the New York City Ballet, SPAC's whipping boy.
SPAC should make a priority of what it has that's unique. That is only the New York City Ballet, the largest and most important dance company in the nation. It's great to have so many opportunities to hear the Philadelphia Orchestra, and my fingers are crossed that its dynamic new music director, Yannick Nezet-Seguin, returns every summer. But there are lots of summer orchestra festivals, including Tanglewood, just 70 miles away in the Berkshires.
Another part of the SPAC classical season is the Chamber Music Festival, which is often overlooked. It wasn't even mentioned in the year-end news release. Frankly, I don't see why it should be continued.
That's quiet a statement coming from a music critic. I consider part of my duties to be an advocate for the field, not just a reporter and critical observer.
This summer I only made it to one of the chamber music concerts, when the Spa Little Theater was maybe half full. Similar, and even smaller, audiences were reported by friends at the other five concerts. But poor attendance isn't my biggest reason to question the festival's viability.
There are tons of chamber music throughout our region all year long, especially at the Union College Concert Series, which runs October through April.
As for chamber music in the summer, on the weekend of Aug. 3 to 5, when I heard cellist Johannes Moser in Saratoga Springs, there were 10 other chamber music concerts spread across our region, from Woodstock to Hudson, Cooperstown to Cambridge.
The audience for chamber music is probably even more rarefied than that for the ballet. Yet unlike ballet fans, music lovers have plenty of options to choose from — too many, in my opinion. SPAC must stop wasting resources on programs that are redundant and instead focus on what can't be found anywhere else — and that is the New York City Ballet.

Audi is a German car maker specializing in luxury vehicles with an emphasis on technology, speed, and comfort. Founded in 1909 in Zwickau, Germany, Audi is a privately-owned car company over 95% owned by Volkswagen AG. Though Audi's headquarters is in Ingolstadt, Germany, Audi has plants in Germany, China, India, Brazil, and Belgium, and sells vehicles all around the world. Audi sells compact vehicles, full-size cars, executive vehicles, sports cars, SUVs, and crossovers. In addition to a popular consumer line, Audi experiences success in motorsports-related vehicles.
The A5 is a luxury compact vehicle that signified Audi's return to manufacturing compact cars. The Audi A5 was first introduced to the market in 2007, and a limited number of models have been built since. A5 models are assembled in Germany and Malaysia.
The Audi A5 is perhaps best known in automotive circles as Audi's return to compact vehicles. For most consumers, however, the Audi A5 is known for its sporty look, powerful engine, and impressive handling. It is a true luxury sports car, offering a smooth and comfortable ride along with plenty of quick-off-the-line speed.
The Audi A5 is offered in a five-door hatchback, two-door coupe, or two-door convertible, and is a version of the B8 Audi A4 models. Both the A4 and the A5 replaced the Audi 80 and Audi 90 models along with other related models in that category.
The A5 is based on the MLP platform, which is the same platform planned to support future A6 and A8 models. The platform represents a departure from Audi's previous platforms, as it places the powertrain behind the front axle in order to achieve better weight redistribution. The first A5 boasted a 3.2-liter FSI V-6 engine. Early models in the United States were available in six-speed manual transmission or six-speed "Tiptronic" automatic transmission.
Though the A5 is still in its first generation, Audi has produced a number of different body styles, with different A5s often being released simultaneously or within the same year. The A5 Coupe 8T3 is a basic two-door model featuring a manual or automatic six-speed transmission. The A5 Cabriolet or convertible, was released in 2009, is available as a convertible. It boasts a three-liter TFSI V-6 supercharged engine. The coupe sedan A5 Sportback is available in a number of different styles. The Aluminum A5 Coupe made its debut in 2009, showcasing the prototype aluminum Audi Space Frame. Also closely related to the A5 are versions of the Audi S5 sedan that include popular sellers like the A5 coupe and convertible.
The 2012 Audi A5 Coupe is a compact sports car with an updated body and a number of luxurious and sporty features. It has a two-liter TFSI four-cylinder turbocharged engine putting out 211 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The car's lightweight design is capable of taking a driver from zero to 60 in 6.4 seconds. The 2012 A5 is available in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige packages. Prices range from $37,100 for the most basic model to $46,300 for the Prestige model. Some of the features included on the basic model are 18-inch 15-spoke alloy wheels, a powerful Audi sound system, LED turn signals, heated mirrors, leather interior, and sunroof. The Premium package comes with an immobilizer alarm system, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, trip computer, and eight-way power front seats. The Prestige model ups the ante by adding adaptive lights, Audi advanced key, and MMI Navigation plus.
First released in 2007, the Audi A5 has had several model versions, including the A5 TFSI Coupe (2007); A5 1.8 TFSI (2009); the A5 2.0 and 2.0 Quattro (2008 to present); the 3.2 and 3.2 Quattro (2007 to present); and the S5 and RS5 models from 2007 to present and 2010 to present, respectively. The A5 also appeared in diesel versions of the Sportback and quattro models, as well as the A5 2.7 and A5 3.0.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, the holiday that has morphed into an excuse for a big Mexican food-themed party. What an excellent idea. I am all for it. And what do we drink at the Cinco de Mayo fiesta? Margaritas, of course!
We all know about the classic Margarita. But there's dozens of other kinds of Margarita drinks -- and they're actually pretty easy to do at home. Check out these refreshing and festive twists on the Margarita.
Margarita Shots -- Don't bother with little glasses, just use limes! This idea is so cute I could scream. To make these lime Margarita shots just hollow out half limes, rim with salt, and pour some tequila in your new little lime cups.
Margarita Spritzer -- This is a lighter, sparklier version of the Margarita. Skinnytaste's Citrus Margarita Sparkler adds club soda to the traditional recipe. Not a bad idea, especially if you're trying to pace yourself.
Watermelon Margarita -- So easy! You just add chucks of chilled watermelon to the blender with the rest of your ingredients. Here's a simple Watermelon Margarita recipe.
Strawberry Margarita -- Same idea as the watermelon. Chow has a good strawberry Margarita recipe. You could swap in just about any other frozen fruit -- like peaches.
El Necio -- In other words, a tequila martini. You could make a fancy one following this cocktail recipe in Esquire exactly. Or, you could wing it with the basic idea: 2 ounces tequila, 1 ounce vermouth, and some bitters thrown in.
And now, a little something I stole from the Mamas Latinas: A video of a hot fireman making Margaritas. With a kitten. Yes, it's your Cinco de Mayo dream come true. You are SO welcome. Or as they say in Spanish, de nada.
What do you like to drink on Cinco de Mayo?

This story has been updated.
Long-anticipated furloughs of federal air traffic controllers due to sequestration will become visible this Sunday, delaying flights by three hours or more, the Associated Press reported.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and Federal Aviation Administration chief Michael Huerta told reporters on Thursday that the required 10 percent cut in the controller workforce budget will have impact at such major air hubs as Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City and elsewhere.
Calling the automatic spending cuts "a dumb idea," LaHood said his department has done "everything possible" to find the money. "If we had had our way, we probably wouldn't be sitting here," he said. "This is a fluid situation, but we want the traveling public to have the best information."
Still, trade association Airlines for America said the furloughs were unnecessary and warned airlines might sue the government, a threat that came through later Friday. Fox news reported that two airline trade associations and the Air Line Pilots Association filed a lawsuit asking a federal court in Washington to block the furloughs.
The furlough-based delays could be more than 2 hours in some cases, FAA told the Associated Press, but the average delay may only be 11 minutes. The estimates vary because every airport is unique, Huerta said. FAA's delay projections don't include possible ripple effects around the nation, he said.
The furloughs will save an estimated $200 million and related tower closings will save $25 million, Huerta said.
At least one lawmaker expressed skepticism about the need to furlough controllers. President Obama and the agency "want to cause the most pain to the American people out there so they will put pressure on Congress to back away from sequestration," Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, told a transportation gathering hosted by National Journal.

The Dallas Cowboys are already looking for reinforcements on the offensive line.
With four interior linemen hurt and not available for practice less than a week into training camp, the Cowboys worked out three of their former lineman Friday.
Montrae Holland, Derrick Dockery and Daniel Loper all were in Dallas' organization last season. Holland and Dockery started games. It wasn't clear if the Cowboys would sign any or all of them.
Coach Jason Garrett says with the rash of injuries, the Cowboys need to get some guys in camp who can play.
Guard Nate Livings sustained a hamstring injury in camp, and center Bill Nagy has a high left ankle sprain. Guard Mackenzy Bernadeau and center-guard Kevin Kowalski started camp on the physically unable to perform list.

The Wind Energy Center (WEC, formerly the Renewable Energy Research Laboratory) is a unique program that has distinguished the University of Massachusetts as the national leader in wind energy education, academic research, and service to government and industry.
Wind energy research and development began here in 1972 with the award of a National Science Foundation grant that led to the construction of a 25 kW wind turbine on campus. At the time, this turbine was one of the largest operating wind turbines in the United States and one of the first modern turbine designs in the world.
The Wind Furnace 1 is currently being prepared for permanent display in the Smithsonian Institute. The project which researched, designed, built, and operated the Wind Furnace 1 led to the creation of the Renewable Energy Research Laboratory, the first wind energy research and education program in the United States.

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Thursday, March 30, 2006
This will be my last post for a week because I'm off to the above vegan chef's conference (the first!)at the crack of dawn on Saturday, April 1st. (Tomorrow, Friday, I'll be at work at the library, and today is packing day!). I get to Grand Rapids, MI that evening, try to have a good night's sleep, and then prep all day Sunday and Monday morning for my seitan-making workshop Monday afternoon. Wish me luck! I'm in exalted company! Besides Chef/Instructor Kevin Dunn, who organized the conference and is amazingly calm (!!), there will be:
Ken Bergeron, first chef to win a gold Medal in the Culinary Olympics with Vegetarian Cuisine.
Ian Brandt, chef at Sages Cafe, Salt Lake City, Utah
Fran Costigan, vegan baking instructor and cookbook author, New York, NY, and, I'm honoured to say, a friend
David Lee, President, Field Roast Grain Meats, Seattle, Washington
Ron Pickarski, 7-time Culinary Olympics medalist (including gold), President and executive chef /consultant for Eco-Cuisine, Cookbook Author
Tanya Petrovna, Chef, Native Food Restaurant, Four vegetarian restaurants in California
Eric Tucker, Chef, Millennium Restaurant, cookbook author, San Francisco, California
Chad Sarno, Executive Chef/Owner, Counter and Vital Creations, New York City, NY
and me. (No wonder I'm nervous!)
The keynote speaker will be the great Howard Lyman, "The Mad Cowboy"
I'll be reporting on my experiences when I get back.
In the meantime:
Homemade Fresh Tofu with Sundried Tomatoes and Artichokes
The following is a short description of a dish I did the other day, quickly using up the last of our fresh tofu. (The recipe will be in the next issue of my subscription newsletter, The Vegan Feast.) In case you missed that the other day, tofu eaten the same day it's made, or within a day or two of making, tastes lovely-- kind of like ricotta cheese--- and needs only minimal preparation and seasoning to please. Really! Trust me! Homemade is the best, of course, but if you can find out what day(s) the bulk tofu is delivered to your health food store (and you can ask the tofu makers if it's made the day it is delivered), you can make sure to buy some and use it that day for maximum tofu delight!
I have made this dish before, both with my own homemade tofu and fresh tofu from my health food store. This last time (photo below), I added Kalamata olives to the recipe. It's a quick dish to make and absolutely delicious. A little wine and fresh rosemary makes all the difference.
Have a good week!

The tofu dish looks great. I'll have to wait until I get somemore sundried tomatoes before trying this. I'll be working on some previous newsletter recipes this week that include mango.
I wish I could stowaway to the conference with you!

Hope you are having fun! My stomach and I wish we were there. Bye-the-by, what is that scrumptious-looking cutlet/patty thing (served w/asparagus) in the picture (under the key lime pie) on the conference page about you? And where do I find the recipe? I better go find some lunch . . . quick!

Hey, fantastic that there are now conferences for vegan chefs! I hope you have a great time, and come back to further inspire us with even more fantastic recipes. :-)
Do you take your own photographs by the way? Because I think taking excellent pictures of food is an art, and not enough people know how to do it. The pictures really make this website look wonderful.

Honey, I'm home! Back in Canada... will be writing my impressions tomorrow. it was great! And there will be more conferences.
I do take my own photos, Mary-- on the run before they get cold, so we can eat them!
Tony...I don't use any dairy, that's why I use fresh tofu. I have made paneer before I was a vegan. Thanks for the offer!

Nine decades of East Hampton High School sports were celebrated Saturday morning when 12 athletes (5 of them deceased), 2 coaches, 2 teams, and The Star's sportswriter were inducted into the high school's Hall of Fame, as its inaugural class, following a breakfast for 400 in the school's large glassed-in cafeteria.
"This is one of the great days in Bonac sports history," said Jim Nicoletti, president of the 19-member committee that made the Hall's first selections. He was overwhelmed, he said, by the reception the effort had received.
Plaques of each of the inductees were later unveiled on a Wall of Fame in the school's main corridor. Nicoletti said the wall had been paid for through donations from the Kendall Madison Foundation and the East Hampton Coaches Association. Richard Shilowich and Sheamus Gleeson, 1977 classmates, built it, and three of the school's custodians — Anthony Hayes, L.C. Nelson, and Hector Aguirre — did the painting and finishing.
The inductees include Ed Petrie, the state's winningest public high school boys basketball coach, who said he wanted to share the award with his longtime assistants Tom Bubka and Billy McKee, "and with all the players"; Fran Kiernan, the 102-year-old former coach and athletic director who got the ball rolling here sportswise following World War II, and who in 1952 coached the only undefeated-untied football team in Bonac annals, and Ross Gload, a Major League first baseman, outfielder, and pinch-hitter who last played with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2011.
Two former professional basketball-playing brothers, Howard and Kenny Wood; Ed Budd, who in 1983 became the first East Hampton student ever to be named to three all-county teams in the same school year; Leroy DeBoard, a four-sport athlete and holder for 23 years of the school's 220-yard dash record (set on the grass of Herrick Park); Margaret Dunn, a four-sport athlete who would have earned 16 varsity letters had she not had to forgo sports in her senior year because of austerity, and Ellamae Gurney, who captained the 1994 field hockey, basketball, and softball teams. Ellen Cooper, Gurney's former coach, reported the awardee as having said "the most exercise I get now is crawling after my 9-month-old daughter."
She spoke winningly at the ceremony. Her teammates, Gurney said at one point, "passed me the ball and I passed the ball to them, and that," the vivacious redhead said, "is what it's about."
Inducted posthumously were Rich Balnis Sr., whose physical therapy career here was devoted to keeping Bonackers, especially its athletes, on the go; Kendall Madison, a popular athlete and student here and at the University of Connecticut, whose death in 1995, at the age of 21, shocked East Hampton; William McDonald, who went on to captain Vanderbilt University's football team after having been named a second-team high school all-American before embarking on a dental career in the Navy, and two 1930 classmates, Frank Jewels, the shortstop on the county-championship baseball team of 1929, who won a baseball scholarship to the University of Alabama and later played semi-pro ball before becoming a successful businessman here, and Walter (Bullet) Sheades, the first four-sport athlete, a feat he accomplished in 1928, '29, and '30.
The teams inducted were the 1952 Kiernan-coached football team, a dozen of whose members have died over the years, and Cooper's state-finalist 1989 field hockey team, which she said had sparked East Hampton's female sports program, which has fared very well vis-a-vis its peers over the past quarter-century.
The '52 footballers — George Cafiso said later he had sore knees, not because he was old, "but from blocking for Fred Yardley" — recalled Coach Kiernan telling them as eighth graders that great things were in store, and that, on the eve of their championship season, if they got through it successfully they'd be able to do anything else they wanted to do.
Brittany MacVittie, who is earning a master's degree in social work now at Stony Brook University and who learned she had spina bifida when in the eighth grade, spoke movingly of the late Mr. Balnis. He had worked with her every day so that she could walk with her classmates to receive her East Hampton Middle School diploma, she said. "I had a dream and Mr. Balnis inspired me," MacVittie said before his widow, Diane, was called up to accept the plaque.
Mike Burns, a former athletic director and coach here, said he loved the late Kendall Madison "on and off the field. . . . Kendall represented this town better than any kid I've ever seen."
DeBoard, who's 79 and lives in Patchogue now, said he'd been blessed to grow up in East Hampton. His family, he said, didn't have much money, "but we were rich in many ways."
Later, he recalled the day Fran Kiernan had sought him out at the Marmador, where he was in the back washing dishes, and told him to pack his clothes because Benedict University in Columbia, S.C., had just awarded him a full football scholarship. Ralph Davis, the carter, he said, gave him a wardrobe trunk into which he could pack those clothes. DeBoard was inducted into Benedict's Hall Of Fame in 1994.
"If it weren't for Fran Kiernan," the honoree said on the occasion of that induction, "I might have wound up a bitter young man. I've often wondered about that."
"It means everything to a child for a parent to show up," Ms. Dunn said in recognizing her mother, who had never missed a game.
Other mothers, Marilyn Wood and Jeanie Gload in particular, came in for praise too. Mrs. Gload once said she had logged 15,000 or so miles one summer taking her son to and from baseball practices with the Bayside (Queens) Yankees. And, indeed, in all three cases that chauffeuring paid off.
Gload, who attended the breakfast with his former '94 county-championship teammates Jake ("Driver's Ed student-of-the-year") Katz, Henry Meyer, and Kevin Somers, said that he'd had a good run and was now happily spending time with his family in Charlotte, N.C. The former best pinch-hitter in pro baseball had his 3-year-old son, Greyson, in tow at the breakfast and at the homecoming football game, where the inductees were acknowledged before the game with Southampton began.
Dave Cheney said his father, Robert (Pop) Cheney, East Hampton's first football coach, had said the biggest asset of Walter Sheades, who later helped construct the lunar landing module at Grumman, was his humility.
The 1976 and '77 championship basketball teams on which Howard Wood, who now coaches East Hampton's girls basketball team, played, went 42-2. In 1986, the former University of Tennesse and Spanish premier league star was named as one of the Island's all-time top 25 high school players. His younger brother, Kenny, Suffolk's player-of-the-year in 1988 and '89, and the state's player-of-the-year in '89, held the state career scoring record for a number of years. He led East Hampton to a state championship in '89, before going on to star at the University of Richmond.
The brothers each said that Ed Petrie was the best basketball coach they'd ever had.
"I wish all of you," the elder Wood said to the audience, "could have one time in your lives to feel what I'm feeling here today."

Disney World Staff Members Reveal Their Darkest Secrets
Sounds like there's a LOT going on underneath those costumes!
Disney workers from around the world have opened up about what it's really like to work at the happiest place on earth - and it involves a lot of alcohol.
Submitting their confessions through an anonymous app called Whisper, the theme park employees lifted the lid on the company's strict dress policy, trying to stay in character and what it actually means when someone says to "have a magical day".
"I've always wanted to work at Disney and be a princess," one user wrote. "You need to be a size 10 (UK) and under 5ft 6 ins. I'm already screwed."
Another revealed that "I want to quit my job at Disney World, but then I think about how good of a job it is and how much fun I have at work.
"I would I could dye my hair and get acrylic nails again."
Hilariously, another commented explained that having to stay in character - so as not to shatter the illusion for children - had led to a rather surreal encounter.
"I used to work at Disney, where Rule No. 1 is: Always stay in character.
"I once walked in on Belle and Gaston having sex. They paused, and then Belle says: 'Don't tell the Beast.'"
For the majority of staff though, dealing with the public seems to be the toughest part of the job.
"I work seasonally for Disney World and guests are so mean sometimes I leave work in tears," one employee wrote, while another revealed that "'Have a magical day' is mouse for 'go f**k yourself'."
One worker even confessed to requiring a little help to bring that signature Disney sunshine to park visitors, writing: "Every day before my shift I drink liquor to help make me more cheerful for the children."
Well, you know what Mary Poppins says: "In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun."
