I've posted my song "Lucky Dime" for free download, in hopes that someone somewhere will help me make an "Adopt a Shelter Pet" video for it. Check it out on my Music Page.
October 26, 2012
Oh, gee. More than two years since I checked in. Been busy with other stuff. But, being election season, I went and reposted Freedom's Song, so if the link brought you here, um... Howdy. Thanks for visiting my ancient and neglected page. I'll try to get something written soon.

To my SF Bay Area friends: Please come hear me sing and play with Steve Della Maggiora on Thursday, July 29 between 6 pm and 9 pm at Somerston Wine Co. 6490 Washington Street, Yountville (directly across from The Villagio Inn & Spa). Time to knock the rust off the old pipes. Hope to see you there!
July 15, 2010
Tonight, July 15 from 7-8 P.M. I will be Dave's guest on Sonoma's KSVY radio 91.3. You can stream it here.
July 9, 2010
Thursday, July 29, from 6-9 PM, I expect to be singing in Yountville. More details as they emerge, but I'd sure appreciate it if you'd plan to be there! I'll be accompanied by my friend Steve Della Maggoira, doing some of my own songs and a bunch of covers - blues, standards, folk, et cetera, et cetera. Fabulous wine, a really pleasant environment, and good music? What's not to like? I'll post more soon.

The audio from Monday's Green Scene with Bug Deakin is now available for download here, or you can stream it from my music page. I'm currently working on a slightly more polished version of the song "BP Did a Bad Bad Thing" with video, coming soon to YouTube with a little help from my friends Steve Della Maggiora and Kamela Portuges-Robbins.
June 21, 2010
Listen to KRSH 95.9 FM in the San Francisco Bay Area Monday, June 28 at 7:30 a.m. PDT, or stream it at krsh.com. I'll be the guest on Michael "Bug" Deakin's weekly program, "Green Scene" to talk about the BP disaster, and maybe sing a song or two. More info (or to listen to an archived version of the interview after it airs) at heritagesalvage.com.

Osha Gray Davidson has done an awesome piece about my Gulf video, including an interview he did with me discussing the expedition and the consequences of the ongoing disaster. Read and watch at El Phoenix Sun.
Also many thanks to Phil Nuytten for two full pages of ink in the May 2010 issue of DIVER magazine. As far as I know the article isn't on their website, but I've posted a scan here. I sat down with Phil a few days ago in North Vancouver to discuss the disaster (he was among the deep sea technology experts who participated in the James Cameron meeting). The inside scoop from Phil is the situation is even worse than most of us realize.
Finally some very sad news to report, as my dear friend Jeanne Robinson succumbed to the ravages of biliary cancer on May 30, 2010. The Globe and Mail published an eloquent tribute that is worth a look. Known as "Buchi Eihei" (dancing wisdom, eternal peace), Jeanne was the embodiment of love. I've just returned from her memorial service in British Columbia, where her dream of becoming an ordained Buddhist priest was fulfilled postumously by her teacher Tenshin Reb Anderson. There's a great Jeanne-shaped hole in the world, and in my heart, but I take comfort in believing she is free now to dance across the firmament. Friends and supporters, meanwhile, continue to work towards making her dream of a film version of Stardance come true.

I'm heartened by the number of people who have seen my Gulf of Mexico video, and really pleased by the response I've gotten to the message, and the song. Some have pointed out that it's less than obvious how they can purchase my CD. Shameless self-promotion never was one of my strengths. So here ya go:
You can also download my music at iTunes and loads of other places, find me on Facebook, or follow me on Twitter (I may even start tweeting one day). OK, enough about me. Let's talk about a blogger I'm a new fan of: The Digital Cuttlefish. Check him out. You won't be disappointed.

CASUALTIES OF THE GULF OF MEXICO DISASTER: Beneath the Surface
I've been watching the BP oil well disaster with growing horror, and it finally motivated me to do something with the footage I shot eight years ago when I worked with my mother on the Sustainable Seas Expeditions. I've compiled some images from a dive I did near the site of the blowout, with my song, "Where I Go" as the soundtrack. Here's the video, and below that, what I wrote about it:
Carpets of crinoids - cousins of the sea-star - stretched their long limbs languidly into the current for morsels of planktonic food. Colorful tropical fish drifted among gracefully spiraling wire corals. Somber-faced grouper hovered warily while jacks and sharks cruised by, curious about the submersible's lights. Fifty miles south of Mississippi, I was the first human ever to lay eyes on the teeming, thriving, dazzling undersea metropolis that was Salt Dome Mountain. As rich and diverse as Texas' Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary to the west, or Florida's coral reefs to the south, but a little deeper, and totally unexplored.
It was July 29, 2002, and I was a submersible pilot with the Sustainable Seas Expeditions, a joint project of National Geographic and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, led by my mother, Dr. Sylvia Earle. Fishermen and oilmen have long known the Gulf of Mexico by what they could extract from it with their nets and their drilling rigs. We were there to study it from the inside out.
Salt Dome Mountain is an unexpectedly shallow seamount rising from the depths of the Gulf of Mexico to within 200 feet of the surface. It's just south of the Mississippi coast, just north of where a raging gusher of oil now spews death and destruction with no end in sight. And no beginning in sight either, as the vast majority of this catastrophe is occurring underwater, beyond the reach of television news cameras. The video below is a compilation of images from my dive eight years ago, posted with permission from Sustainable Seas Expeditions. You can find more videos of the undersea life near the blowout by using Google Ocean.
It remains to be seen when or even whether the raging torrent of oil can be stopped, but even in the best case scenario, the damage already done far exceeds what most of us can yet get our minds around. May it at least not pass unnoticed. And may we at long last consider that the consequences of our actions should be weighed before, and not after, the damage is done.

Gale & Jane's Wild and Wooly New Zealand Adventure

From Flipper to the Mayor of Strawberry Fields
Love this: http://www.gotmercury.org/ All my seafood-loving friends now have something else to consider when they're trying to decide between the mahi mahi and the grouper. And you thought smoking was dangerous....
If you haven't seen The Cove, it's now out on DVD. You really have to watch this film. You can cover your eyes during the gory parts, or watch the redacted version on an airplane, as I just did on my way home from New York. But please see it.
While in New York, I spent a couple hours at Strawberry Fields to honor John Lennon, who was taken from us 29 years ago Tuesday. I was there early in the day, and the sun was shining on the Imagine mosaic, and little children and old hippies and all kinds of loving, idealistic dreamers were singing, or taking pictures, or quietly thinking their own thoughts, or talking to each other about the music, the murder, the loss, the what-might-have-been.
I sat on the ground at the edge of the mosaic, next to a woman who was addressed by photographers from the other side of the mosaic as, "Hey, Button Lady!" She wore a tie-dyed hoodie covered with peace and Lennon badges, so she made a great photographic subject, and it was clear she was feeling this day very deeply. She told me her name was Cathy, which I think is a much nicer name than "Button Lady."
When I arrived, a man was using red carnations and white daisies to make a peace symbol around the center of the mosaic. Another man was shaping a smaller peace symbol in acorns. They lit candles and incense, and the man with the flowers explained this is what he does, not just on anniversaries, but all the time.
Over the next two hours I watched him incorporate the slow trickle of bouquets, guitar picks and photos, notes, candles, apples, and more flowers, into this eclectic mandala, making sure paper-wrapped flowers didn't come into contact with votive candles, and seeking aesthetic placements for each item. He says his name is Gary, and it looks to me like a labor of love, and I'm reminded, "there's nothing you can do that can't be done."
I'd like to point out that I haven't in this post used the name of the person who shot John Lennon, and that's on purpose. Because this freak shot him in part because he wanted his own name to go down in infamy. Repeating his name only fulfills that wish. The 30th anniversary of the murder is a year from now, and I would like nothing more than to see all news media outlets leave the bastard's name out of every single one of their reports. Sadly, it's far more likely that he'll be interviewed on Larry King.

Writing again
Well it's about time something broke loose in my brain.... More songs are in the works, and I'm learning some new covers, too. Still in the market for a good gigging partner. I'll be in NYC December 8, paying tribute to JWL at Strawberry Fields. Not a gig, just happen to be in the city at the right time. Maybe I'll see you there! Finally, I would like to thank Spider Robinson for once again including some of my music in his podcast (#73, "Music from the Heart") - once in the middle and again at the end. Spider's wife Jeanne continues her battle with cancer, but continues also to pursue her dream of bringing their book Stardance to the big screen, engaging David Gerrold ("Martian Child," "Trouble with Tribbles") to work on the adaptation. Check out the Stardance blog for the latest.

Holy moly! My mother's on Colbert?!
So I get home this afternoon from my "knitter's retreat" to find no fewer than seven voice mail messages from my mother. I call her back and we chat for a half-hour or so, and just as the conversation seems about to come to a close, she casually mentions that she's the guest on tomorrow night's Colbert Report. Seriously. How cool is that? Update: Here's a link to the interview.

Dream of, for, with, and loving Jeanne
Who knows how many new humans went from conception to birth in the time it's taken me to update this page? I have no excuse. What's finally prompted me to post is new photos, from a benefit concert thrown for Jeanne Robinson to help pay her bills while she goes through chemotherapy.
Here's the story, from Spider's site:
"Earlier this year a brilliant surgeon, Dr. Andresz Busczowski, helped Jeanne Robinson beat back a rare and virulent form of biliary cancer. But it's so rare even he can't say how much time he's bought her, how soon it might recur—and her latest blood tests have been so discouraging they've now decided she needs to start chemotherapy as soon as possible. Besides the prescription drugs to counteract the chemotherapy, she needs special therapies and supplements, counseling, and extensive diet and lifestyle changes, to reduce her stress level and the strain on her liver to as close to zero as possible. All those things are expensive...and like many artists today the Robinsons were already running on fumes financially." Continuing from Jeanne's blog:
"...After all these months of being silent and private about my illness, I recently said yes to my close friend Michelle Meyrink when she asked if she could organize a benefit concert for me. Others have since jumped in, including my Vancouver Buddhist sangha, Mountain Rain Zen Community, and a dear friend in Florida, Jan Schroeder, who has been auctioning donated items (such as rare Babylon 5 scripts and other SF memorabilia) on eBay for me. Goods or services can be donated for the auction by contacting Jan at firstname.lastname@example.com. Several other methods of helping out, including a straightforward PayPal donation account, can be found at http://wedreamforjeanne.blogspot.com/.
"Another way to help would be to buy our books from Amazon by clicking-through from Spider's site, so we can get the affiliate commission. We've spent decades holding up visions of humankind's highest evolutionary potential while entertaining you enough to keep you turning pages. Any help you can offer is gratefully appreciated by Spider and me."
(me again)
The benefit last weekend was something I struggle to describe. Friends from their community and beyond put together an amazing group of musicians and organized a successful live and silent auction. Friends from their community and beyond filled the hall to capacity. Love was in the air. Spider serenaded. Tears rolled. Jeanne danced.
Dance on, sister from another mother.

Antarctic Photos Posted
My photos are now up on galemead.shutterfly.com (password is belize). I broke it up into two albums, one for Antarctica, the other for South Georgia and the Falklands.
In other news, I will be interviewed by Sonoma icon Ken Brown on KSVY radio Jan 27 sometime between 9:30 and 10:00 am. You can listen at ksvy.org.
Tomorrow our new President will be sworn in, and not a moment too soon. I'm filled with relief that the era of Bush/Cheney is finally coming to a close, and anxious optimism for the future. We surely do have our work cut out for us....

Happy New Year!
I'm just now home from the most unbelievable three weeks in Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falklands. I can think of no words adequate to describe the places I've seen. Perhaps more than at any time in my life I'm reminded what a beautiful, amazing planet we are lucky enough to have as our home, and how vulnerable it is to the effects of our profligate ways.
I do not know how long it will take me to get my photos organized, but they will be posted sooner or later at galemead.shutterfly.com (password is belize all lower case) where I also have photo collections from some of my earlier travels. Unlike some photo sharing sites, you don't need to have a membership to view the photos.

Just in time for Christmas
I'm happy to report that my mom's new book is out. Ocean: An Illustrated Atlas, is an update to the National Geographic Atlas of the Ocean that she published in 2001. It's a distillation of nearly six decades of observation of the oceans, and the effects of human activity on the planet, by one of the world's most accomplished marine scientists. Two of my Arctic photos made it through the gauntlet of National Geographic editors and into the book, which is kinda neat.

New YouTube Video: Freedom's Song
My new video for "Freedom's Song" combines emotional images of election night and other moments in the Presidential campaign with reminders of the work we have yet to do to create a freer, more just world. If it's the video that led you to my site, thanks for coming! (crass commercial pitch starts now) My CDs are for sale on CD Baby, and my songs are downloadable at iTunes and a bunch of other digital download sites. (end of crass commercial pitch)

Hope Triumphs over Hate
I'm on my way home from Florida, where I spent the final week before the election canvassing for Barack Obama in the town where I lived when I was a little girl, helping to make sure that everyone who said they were going to vote for Obama actually cast their ballot. Words can't express how relieved I am that John McCain conceded promptly and graciously. We've still got an awful lot of work ahead of us to repair the damage that's been done to our country and the world, but at least now we'll have a chance.
October 20, 2008
Thanks, Spider!
Spider Robinson, a friend and spinner of some of the best tales in science fiction today, has featured two of my songs in his podcast, "Spider on the Web." My songs are featured about 30 minutes into 'cast #56, but I strongly encourage you to listen to the whole thing. This is an all-music edition featuring some amazing blues, jazz, folk, and stuff I don't even know how to characterize. All of it very much worth a listen. The 'cast is free, but if you can pitch a few bucks into the pot it'll help ensure he can keep doing what he does so well.

Xiotech and Prism settle grievances in arbitration
Xiotech and one of its key resellers, Prism, have parted ways in a vicious legal dispute that highlights the fierce competition in the industry.
CHICAGO -- Xiotech Corp. and one of its largest resellers in the Midwest, Prism Technologies Inc., are headed to arbitration this summer over lost revenues as both companies seek to capture what they claim each is owed by the other.
In January 2006, Xiotech issued a notice to Prism terminating the reseller's contract. "Prism is no longer an authorized Xiotech reseller or service provider … Xiotech terminated the relationship with Prism and has commenced litigation," according to Mike Stolz, vice president of marketing at Xiotech. He declined to give any details on why Xiotech took this course of action.
He claims that once Xiotech heard Prism was reselling Compellent, the company immediately contacted Prism's 120 or so existing Xiotech customers and took the business direct, leaving Prism high and dry. "They broke the law and the spirit of our contract, and caused significant financial and character damage to our company," Klauser said.
Stolz argues to the contrary that Xiotech had no issue with Prism selling Compellent. "All our resellers sell other products … and we probably worry more about EMC [Corp.] than Compellent."
Industry insiders point out that the history between Xiotech and Compellent is littered with legal tangles and bitter rivalry. Xiotech was founded in 1999 by Phil Soran, John Guider and Larry Aszmann -- who all left the company in 2002 to found Compellent. In April 2004, both companies swapped motions claiming wrongful acts of business, patent disputes and violation of trade secrets, among other things of that nature. All claims between the two firms were eventually settled in June 2005.
Stolz insists the history between Xiotech and Compellent has no bearing on the Prism case. Both Xiotech and Prism are seeking financial damages from each other.
Klauser says Prism took a significant drop in revenue in the first quarter of this year when Xiotech terminated the contact. "We predicted we could take a couple of million dollar swings to reposition the company. It's half a step back for three forward." He says Prism now has 45 to 60 customers using products from a mix of different storage vendors, including EMC, EqualLogic Inc., Compellent, Network Appliance Inc., CommVault Systems Inc. and Data Domain Inc. among others.
"We wanted to be able to offer the best possible product to our customers, but Xiotech had fallen so far behind on features, we couldn't look our customers in the eyes and say this is the best solution," Klauser said.

During the summer of 2004 at the start of the ANYI LU business, Anyi slipped down her wooden staircase while pregnant due to the hard leather bottoms of her shoes. Thankfully she and the baby were fine, and the incident ensured every shoe design from then on included proper traction. While we still use polished Cuoio leather for our soles, most styles include an injection-molded rubber traction pad. Rather than glued on, our traction pad is fused to the leather which prevents slipping and adds to the longevity of the shoe.

New York City police pressed forward Sunday in investigating the deaths of four children and a 37-year-old woman who were stabbed at a Brooklyn residence, saying a person of interest had been taken into custody.
Officers arrived at the scene and found all five victims unconscious and unresponsive, police said. Three children were pronounced dead at the scene, while another child and the woman were taken to two Brooklyn hospitals where they were pronounced dead, police said.
Authorities identified the victims as Qiao Zhen Li, 37; Linda Zhuo, 9; Amy Zhuo, 7; Kevin Zhuo, 5; and William Zhuo, 1. Police did not give the relationships of the victims but said they all lived at the home where their bodies were found.
Fire Department spokesman Jim Long said emergency workers responded just before 11 p.m. Saturday to a 911 call from a person stabbed at the residence in the Sunset Park neighborhood.
Adjoining two-story brick buildings sit on a tree-lined block in the working-class neighborhood where the stabbings occurred.
A neighbor May Chan told the Daily News it was "heartbreaking" to learn of the deaths.
"I always see (the kids) running around here," Chan said. "They run around by my garage playing. They run up and down screaming."

It has become the most boring, predicable story of the Olympics, that NBC doesn't have a clue about covering them because they don't show everything live in the United States on network television.
This theme goes back to forever, or at least when NBC won the U.S. rights over other networks 20 years ago.
The criticism is worse now because social media reports the results spontaneously. Why actually watch Ryan Lochte beat Michael Phelps if you have read about it hours earlier in 140 characters or less?
So those in London who are working in real time, reporting instantaneously, believe they are somehow superior.
I love you, all. I have been among you since 1976 until this year.
But get over yourselves. I appreciate your efforts. But not only to do you have to report in real time, you have to get real.
NBC had its best ratings on Friday night for any non-US Olympic opening ceremony ever.
Same thing for the first day of significant competition on Saturday. Best ever rating for any non-US Olympic first day.
I'm guessing the same kind of numbers will continue throughout the Olympics.
Why do you think Barack Obama is spending millions of dollars campaigning on NBA during the Olympics? Because no one is watching?
NBA might have lost "must see TV" because the entertainment gurus couldn't figure out how to follow "Cheers," "Seinfield," and "Friends, but they, thanks to now-retired genius Dick Ebersole know how to televise the Olympics in order to attract ratings.
These suits in New York aren't as dumb as Twitter world believes they are.

FINAL FANTASY VII Cloud's Sword
Man, that's a big-ass sword! How big would you say it is? Our conservative estimate is thatCloud's blade is about 4ft long, 1ft wide on average, and 5in thick on average. That seems fair, doesn't it? Now, if we assume that his sword is made of steel, or an alloy roughly similar to steel, how much would it weigh? About 650lbs. So Cloud is capable, with his scrawny-ass biceps, to lift and swing the weight of about three people with ease? I think not. The world record for a bench press is 1075lbs, only 425lbsheavier than our estimated weight of Cloud's sword – and these athletes aren't swinging their weights around like feather dusters, they're literally spilling their guts. Technically, that's just not correct.
EVERY GAME WITH BULLETS Exploding Gas Tanks
Hey game developers, ever watch MythBusters? Bet you don't, because you're too busy stabbing physics books, you science murderers. I'll put this simply: shooting a pressurized gas tank with a regular gun won't do shit. Try a handgun, and you probably won't even puncture the tank. Move up to a rifle and you might puncture it, but the resulting "explosion" will be nothing more than a rapid decompression which will, at best, disorientthe enemy. No, if you really want to make a gas tank explode, you need a high-powered weapon with incendiary rounds. So guess what? Technically, the following shit don't come correct:
CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR Nonexistent Entity
Hey Mr. WWII Game, how about being right about something? Fat chance! While supposedly in 1945, World at War makes reference to the United States "Air Force." Guess what? It wasn't called the Air Force until 1947 - before then it was known as the Army Air Corps., so, yep, you guessed it you history raping bastards:technically, that's not correct.
Above: This is the USAAC, not the Air Force. Hah! More like Call of Duty: LIES of War!
HALO SERIES Science Fail!
Lasersgenerally emit a spreading, cone-shaped beam, which is focused into a parallel beam with a lens. If one intended to use a laser as a weapon, it would make sense to direct the energy in a parallel beam - but if fired in space, with nothing to scatter the light, would you see this parallel beam? NO! Technically, the image below is simply not correct.
Above: NOT CORRECT! (Technically)
It doesn't end there. The Orbital Defense Platforms supposedly maintain a geosynchronous orbit over certain cities, which actually means they would cross over their city once a day, not remain over it constantly– uh oh, I think you meant GEOSTATIONARY! Man, that is so technically not correct.

Holidays in Campo Tures/Sand in Taufers
In the idyllic Ahrntal valley, surrounded by a nature park and numerous peaks of over 3,000 m, lies the scenic municipality and main village of Campo Tures. The municipality includes the six hospitable villages of Riva di Tures/Rein, Acereto/Ahornach, Molini/Mühlen, Caminata/Kematen, Selva dei Molini/Mühlwald, and Lappago/Lappach. The striking Burg Taufers looms imposingly over Campo Tures offering eventful tours for the entire family. A fantastic holiday in Campo Tures includes hikes in the Riesenferner-Ahrn nature park, a visit to the visitor centre, as well as tours to the Reinbach waterfalls, and the Speikboden ski and hiking area. Near Molini in Tauferer Ahrntal, the 20 km long Mühlwalder Tal valley branches off towards the 3,000 m peaks Weißzint and Großer Möseler mountains. Let the topic of water guide you on holiday in Selva dei Molini and Lappago – whether during a visit to a Kneipp facility, theNeves-Stausee lake or viewing the many mills in town.

Watching an episode of Ruddy Hell, the phrase "I saw you coming" was printed on a shop and the shop owner used it when talking to the rich lady. The context was that he sold stuff second hand and even openly admitted that it was only worth "a fiver" when he bought it. He then exclaims: "But I saw you coming ..." which apparently is the excuse for a much higher price when selling.
Now, I get the approximate meaning from the context, obviously. However, how would native speakers explain the exact meaning of the phrase?

Brown May Turn Away Small-Cap Newcomers: WSJ
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Well, you could have predicted this one. Another excellent small-cap fund is weighing closing itself to new investors, so it doesn't become a victim of its own success.
That, at any rate, is the scoop from Daisy Maxey in the WSJ over the weekend on Brown Capital Management Small Company (BCSIX), which boasts a 10-year return of 12.7%.
From Maxey's article:
The concern, the managers say, is that as the fund gets larger, it may not be able to trade some small stocks without moving the market. Between the $2.2 billion fund and separately managed accounts, Damien Davis, Robert Hall, Kempton Ingersol, Keith Lee and Amy Zhang now manage a little more than $4 billion in small-company assets. ...
Seven small-cap funds closed to new investors this year through Aug. 2, up from four through the same period in 2012, according to Morningstar. They include strong performers such as the $5.8 billion Fidelity Small Cap Discovery and $4 billion Fidelity Advisor Small Cap Value.

Jo Jingles is such a special way to spend time with your child. Watching them enjoying the music and using the instruments, is wonderful.
Nicky Chrimes
Babies from around 3 months of age love Jo Jingles! Your baby can attend these classes until they are walking or are confident enough to join in with the more active toddlers in the older class.
Babies enjoy our gentle and relaxed introduction to singing, musical instruments and movement. Parents/Carers can join in as much or little as they like - the more enthusiastic you are, the more your baby will benefit.
Baby classes involve lots of gentle lap, sitting songs and tactile actions.
Jingle Babies classes help to develop babies' three main senses:
Sight, Sound and Touch. Simple movement is introduced and bouncing, lifting, carrying, cuddling and tickling are always very popular.
Our Baby Fun Time session includes the use a variety of props and bubbles........loved by babies and enjoyed by adults too!
Lively classes, perfect for walkers up to 2 years old. Little ones enjoy moving, sitting and action songs, inlcuding nursery rhymes like 'Ring a Roses', 'Jelly on a Plate' and 'Two Little Dicky Birds' plus Jo Jingles favourite 'Five Little Speckled Frogs' and 'Sleeping Bunnies'.
It's amazing how quickly our Jingle Toddlers learn how to play simple percussion instruments, such as tambourines, cymbals and shaped shakers; helping hand - eye co-ordination and fine motor skills.
Toddlers also develop gross motor skills, such as walking, balancing and crawling, using simple music and movement activities as well as the use of props.
See your toddler's confidence grow week by week as they join in with Jo Jingles activities, at their own pace, whilst developing fun friendships with others in the class - parents tend to get along too!
Weekly pre-school learning themes such as transport, colours and numbers help your child to develop language, numeracy and communication skills and to identify with the world around them.
Your little ones will enjoy many action songs like 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' and 'Dingle Dangle Scarecrow', designed to develop more skilled movements, and to encourage their imagination and creativity.
See your child become more adept at playing a variety of musical instruments such as claves and drums as well as learn musical concepts such as rhythm, pace and dynamics.
See your children's independence, confidence and social skills grow with Jingle Juniors classes.
Our weekly themes are more challenging with action songs, movement and instrument playing and with children learning to play as a band or use more than one instrument during a song.
Jingle Juniors are introduced to instruments from the brass, string, woodwind and percussion family.
'Music Theory' is also included in these classes: these are fun modules that build over a number of weeks covering topics such as 'Notation', 'Classical Music, 'Music from Around the World' and 'Musical Elements'.
Fun colouring sheets to reinforce the topics covered in each class are given to the children to enjoy at home.
Out-of-school hours classes and classes in schools means that our 5-7 year olds can continue to enjoy Jo Jingles and expand on their music knowledge.
Children are encouraged to think more independently about how the music makes them feel and what the music might be about.
See your child grow in confidence in playing along to music and also in developing their own rhythm.
With cutbacks in early years' music provision in schools Jo Jingles Music Time provides a perfect opportunity to really stumulate the imagination of young children. We introduce hand drums, xylophones and double guiros along with all our other Jo Jingles percussion instruments.
Class presenters work with schools to develop unique and lively programmes and children may be asked to try and make their own instruments too! There's lots of dancing and movement included in these sessions helping young children to keep fit!
These sessions tend to be a bit more relaxed and are great fun for all the age groups including their Parent/Carer.

Good news coming from EA about the upcoming First Person Shooter Crysis 2 that is expected to be available by the end of the year. During a press conference at E3 Expo Electronic Arts has announced that the game will support Stereoscopic 3D mode not only on the PC, but also in its console version available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and this probably means native S3D support built-in the game engine, as Xbox 360 still does not offer any official Stereo 3D support on console level, unlike the PS3 and PC. Unfortinately still not a lot of details are being disclosed, but we'll probably get more details with the game nearing its official release date that still hasn't been announced yet…
"At Crytek, we always strive to raise the technology bar. As the 3D revolution sweeps movies and television, we are excited to bring Crysis 2 to 3D, making it the first big action game to be available in true stereoscopic 3D," said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. "The 3D experience represents a quantum leap in interactive entertainment. With all of the same story and action seen in the 2D version of the game, the 3D version adds another dimension of intensity and immersion to the action."
Whether played in 3D or standard 2D, Crysis 2 drops players into a devastated New York in the midst of an attack by a frightening alien species. The alien enemies are armed with deadly weaponry and exceptional sensory abilities that test players' skill and push them to the limit. These terrifying invaders stalk the streets of New York, leaving the streets in chaos and the skyline in flaming ruin. Surrounded by catastrophic destruction, players harness the superhuman abilities of the Nanosuit to level the playing field, becoming the ultimate weapon on a mission to save New York.
Now, considering the fact that first Crysis games was one of the most demanding titles for your hardware when it was first released, so we can expect to get the same from Crysis 2 too, especially when played in stereo 3D mode. And when talking about that I'm referencing the PC version of the game, as with the console versions it will most likely be a bit stripped down from advanced graphical effects and features in order to be able to provide good performance even in stereo 3D mode. So you better start thinking about upgrading your PCs CPU and GPU from now if they are not yet up to date… ;)

Network technology trends for 2012: Network management
Looking at network management technology trends for 2012, EMA's Jim Frey predicts cross-domain management, SaaS-based management and cloud SLAs.
What will happen with network technology trends for 2012? SearchNetworking.com sat down with five leading industry analysts to learn what they are predicting for the new year. In this installment about trends in network management, we speak with Jim Frey, research director for Enterprise Management Associates (EMA).
Cross-domain management operations: The management technology trend for 2012
Enterprises will demand network management tools in 2012 that can play a direct role in cross-domain, application-aware operations support, according to Frey.
"Research completed in late 2011 confirms one of the key trends that EMA has been tracking for some time -- cross-domain operations teams will continue to grow as an approach to dealing with complex application and service quality issues," Frey said.
Network operations teams are leading the cross-domain charge, according to the research Frey has conducted. Two factors are prompting this technology trend for 2012: increasing complexity in applications and infrastructure due to advances in virtualization, and the steady shift toward internal private cloud models, he said.
"I think the key thing here is, this is the expectation more than the norm, that there be some means for understanding exactly which applications are healthy and which aren't," he said.
SaaS-based network management a key technology trend for 2012
SaaS-based network management tools will go mainstream in 2012, Frey said, especially among small and midmarket enterprises. An EMA survey of 160 network management pros found that 50% are using SaaS-based tools in production for some or all of their network management needs, Frey said. Another 40% said they were evaluating SaaS network management tools.
"The big thing is the lower administrative overhead and better support," Frey said. "When these tools are remotely hosted, you no longer have to apply patches and upgrades yourself. The support from the vendor is more timely and effective."
Of course, SaaS tools will have limitations, especially those that require pulling a lot of data across a remote link to the hosted management tool.
Cloud technology trend for 2012: Cloud SLAs
Finally, enterprises will seek more accountability for public cloud performance next year, Frey said.
"Public cloud providers are offering some availability SLAs [service level agreements] but no performance-based SLAs. There's nothing out there for responsiveness and round-trip times," Frey said. "No one can offer that full opportunity except for service providers working with content delivery networks like Akamai. That combination should be powerful in providing assurance."

Will Beyoncé make Blue Ivy a big sister one day?
"I would like more children," the singer told ABC News during an interview for Good Morning America in London, where she performed over the weekend. "I think my daughter needs some company. I definitely love being big sister."
According to a YouTube video posted on Vibe.com, the singer may have showed off her darling daughter during her concert on Saturday at the O2 Arena.
As she belted out her hit "Irreplaceable," Beyoncé greeted a baby wearing a white dress and sporting large headphones who looked a lot like Blue.
"I am very protective," Beyoncé told ABC News. "I just want to make sure that [Blue Ivy] can have a healthy, safe, normal life. ... In the back of my mind, she's my priority. And life is completely different now."
Already a seasoned traveler, Blue Ivy has a special place to sit next to mom while she travels on The Mrs. Carter Show world tour.
"I feel really, really just lucky that I can still do what I love, and now have a way bigger meaning," Beyoncé said. "And that's to be her mother."
