Hello ET'ers,
Starting with this release of the ET faq, I will begin to annotate updates and new additions. This should make it easier for frequent faq visitors to keep track of the weekly changes. The updates are indicated in brackets in both the question and answer areas.
This week's changes include mention of the upcoming gold CD's of the Classic Catalog (pre-1990's) from Virgin/Japan for questions II.5 and III.3, as well as new question II.18: "Who played the flute parts on 'Exiles'?".
As always, version updates occur every Sunday (barring vacations and hard-drive crashes), so stop by at et-web and check us out!

Heard Salad Days, the new solo Belew disc, earlier this week. It's nice and certainly worth getting, but not one of Belew's important statements. I think the record would've been more substantial if he had written new songs actually DESIGNED for the acoustic medium, rather than just re-adapting some old favorites. Seems like taking the easy way out. His creamy wail of a voice also grows a bit monotonous, when supported by so little instrumental color.
I doubt that the album will appeal much to hardcore proggies, with the exceptions of the three KC covers and "I Remember How to Forget." This is pop, and I have no problem with that. My personal favorites were "Dinosaur," "Men in Helicopters" (featuring the Eleanor Rigby Memorial Strings), the above "Forget," "The Rail Song" (always liked that one a lot) and "Everything" (which oughta thrill Ben Folds Five fans). I believe the only new compositions are "Return of the Chicken" and "Things You Hit With a Stick," both of which are fairly trivial instrumental snippets. I don't know which tracks are taken from Belewprints (don't own it, never seen it), but three tunes ("The Rail Song," "The Man in the Moon" and "The Lone Rhinocerous") are lifted from The Acoustic Adrian Belew. Okey dokey?

On latest ET, Biffyshrew at aol dot com, said :
The flute on "Exiles" is apparently David Cross. I have a reproduction of what appears to be a Crimso press release of the period, and Cross is credited there with "violin, flute, mellotron." Incidentally, the same source credits John Wetton with "bass guitar, viola, vocals," although I'm not aware of Wetton's ever having played viola with Crimso. (He did take up violin in his previous band, Family--as he put it, "there was a lot of bluffing around with wah-wah pedals" to disguise his lack of ability on the instrument!)
There's a note (with a touch of melancholy) by David Cross in "The Great Deceiver", saying : "The whole of our first UK tour was a time of experiment with everyone searching for ways to play together(...).There was a kind of good natured chaos to the performances which clung tight to a core of well rehearsed songs and instrumentals. At that stage I also played flute and sang - both activities I later thought better left to non-smokers. John also played violin and we used to a jiggy duet (until one of his Family clleagues criticised him at a gig in Leicester ; he never played it again.)"
I'd love to have the complete "Beat Club" video footage and see those experimental days (a Collector's Club release, maybe ?).

There is a a stringed instrument in Starless, featured prominently in the third verse. From the range, it's probably cello; though I'm not sure how low a viola can play. Of course, it could be Mellotron, but I always thought it sounded "live."

Oh Man Ray,
Your post is "Out to Lunch!" Frank Zappa was the MOST structured musician around to play with in a band. Every note was notated in musical notation. Every band of Zappa's was made from auditions of musicians looking for recognition and a PAYCHECK. If you think Crimson has rigid structure compared to normal popular music and bands, then your perception of how music (especially rock) works is extremely flawed. Maybe you need to read a bit more about your favorite artists to get a clearer picture of the BIZ.
From: Bknt at aol dot com Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1998 13:58:16 EST Subject: Norbert Fragg: the Lost Diaries
Dear Team,
I have been forbidden, on pain of spit-spattering impedimentalization, from revealing how I discovered what appears to be an deleted diary entry from the journal of the Traipsing Friggster and perpetually disappointed coffee bar devotee, digitally reconstituted here as Norbert Fragg. Starbucks, November--
How we ask for cappuccino is how we ask for the salvation. How we receive our cappuccino, pathetically underheated with only a spattering of cinnamon, served 13 seconds after the snarggling blend was left to wilt by the lobotomized Marilyn Manson enthusiast whose refusal to remove the latest vocal hystrionics of a shrill mass-marketted, shorts-kirited harridan former-wife- of-recording-industry-weasel from the sound system, left the Bilious and Slightly Slurped Laptop Tappster less than non-plussed. Thus we must honor complicity and honor insipidity.
Partial absorption of the opening pages of Snard Bobbogonzo's "Essays in the Insignificance of Guitarists I Have Never Met But Feel Arrogant Enough to Criticize in a Public Forum," purchased at the Barnes and Ignoble with "Practical Rabbitry" and "The Portable Wilton Carpet," yield specific conclusions:
To list comments numerically implies logic, progression and a Newtonian taste for tedium.
Though the manner in which a cappuccino is prepared may bring depression into the world, the shop in which the beverage is prepared is not large enough for pistols-at-twenty, or other antiquated forms of gentlemanly satisfication.
Thoughts transcribed under the influence of caffiene my have the potential for embarrassment, or may not.
The oft repeated injunction that the Trapising Friggster is marginally incapable of performing the musical structure known as the blues in not only incorrect, it is wrong and mistaken and in serious need of accountablility. I was there. I am an expert about myself. I know what happened. Nobody loved me when I was down and out.
This last point is in reference to the previous evening's performance. Inadequately listed by the promoter as "an evening of groundscrapes," the earthbound expectations of audients were so enflamed that several among the Earnest Hirsuite Men seeking egotistical satisfaction made incendiary demands on the performer's attention, thus rendering the act of music impossible or merely foolish. When an audient insisted that the theater really was on fire, and that the performer should, at best, cease performing and run for his life, the guitarist, insulted and slightly singed, left.
I am joined by Out Tray, a former member of the Ted Nugent String Quartet, who engages me in animated conversation about the difficulties of marketing musical proj-yecchs in which the names of the musicians--Mondrian Bayou, Mag Lev, Mat Pastamotto, Nils Newford have peculiar spellings that inspire acts of questionable humor in the music press.
Tray expresses that ballistically inviting notion that audients who purchase our recordings, attend our concerts, and, in seeking to express their pleasure or in otherwise baying at the moon, make presumptions on the nature of the performers, should be shot on sight. I present him with one of Sister's "I've Been Fragged" buttons. Not understanding the humorous intent, he asks me if I'm suffering from post-dramatic art-rock syndrome. The conversation deteriorates after I mention I once wore velvet pants but only rarely rode in limousines. He accuses me of being a sissy and dumps the remainder of my cappuccino on my laptop and--

there is this other CD by Radius: "Elevation" (Ear-Rational ECD 1036), that isn't all that bad. it includes amongst other things a beatiful soft piece by Sheila Maloney. Low Flying Aircraft is quite another thing all together, it shouldn't be mentioned in the same category as the other David Cross albums, I beleive he was merely performing as a guest musician. don't get me wrong, it's really a great album!
"The Big Picture" is my favourite with "Testing to destruction" as a close second. I think David has really found a wonderful style in the progressive rock genre. I find "Exiles" a bit too commercial, but I think he still remains in his own personal style, thanks david. sorry to lose John Dillon, but what a replacement Mick Paul would turn out to be! where does all these talented musicians come from?
I really hope Sheila will be back for the next album!

For the folks in need of expressing anger I have a preposition: why not ask DGM to make available some Fripp dolls, that some of you can hit and insult. Also pieces of his (old) cloths could excite some fans and help them perform satanic rituals so please DGM, give them the chance to be happy. And I'll be happy to read his diary without interruptions in the smoothly flow of feelings. Maybe it's part of his sevenfold work, he must have a reason to bother answering flames. I personally don't find a reason to read them.
Next preposition, also related to the anger: I volunteer to make an internet wall to display the verbal violence in the form of graffiti. I'm serious. People who need to express their anger at Fripp, why don't you email it to me, either as text or graphics (anything goes, I live in Holland-). I'll arrange them on levels of violence and on themes, see what we come out with. Of course, I'd ask Mr. Fripp not to react to them so the anger will be given the chance to grow. In the end something must happen, one way or another. I just feel a lot of energy wasted in dialogue, when one tells Fripp what he is supposed to do as (working and aspiring) musician and he explains what you have to do as fan machine. Please, if you send dirt email, do it seriously, I won't accept thin remarks. If you're not in a revolt mode, wait till you get there and then shoot this way. Be creative and good luck!

I think Pete Sinfield was definitely considered a full member of King Crimson in 1969. He is, after all, credited as such on the ITCOTCK album sleeve. A press release from the period states that "Peter Sinfield...is an integral part of K.C." Mind you, Sinfield himself co-wrote that press release (along with Beep Fallon)!

Fripp is indeed responsible for those lyrics. He told me so himself!

The arm of the tribute I am personally willing to put time into is a website to showcase the bands that worked on tracks which were originally submitted to Matt. Consensus decision making rarely works in the arts, and almost never over the internet. Again, I am speaking in regard to a website where there is no selection process and little to decide about.

I am not an audio expert either but Real Audio is the most prevalent audio format on the net and its ability to 'stream' is a BIG bonus. I think we are having difficulty defining the aim here. I would say the aim is for the bands who recorded the tracks to have their music heard (primarily by each other), thus paying tribute to one of their favorite bands.
>3. We need to be concerned about royalties. Even posting >RealAudio files for free may not be legal. I don't know, but >again I bet someone does.
Way back when we started this project Robert Fripp gave us permission to go ahead and do it.

All I am asking is that if bands which submitted tracks wish to have their songs posted on a website then they can contact me. It is that simple. If you'd like to put together a mailing list, and a committee, and continue to attempt the production of a CD, that's great. I will submit my band's track for consideration. Having a website with tracks on it will not and should not effect the eligibility of the bands to participate in a tribute project in the future. I suspect many of those who recorded music for this project don't even subscribe to ET anymore, and my interest in this is limited at best. I just thought it would be nice for us all to hear each others' work.

This seems a more appropriate place for this message than DGM. Do you agree?
After The 2nd Projekct 4 Show in San Francisco.
Dear Friends,
Robert Fripp did something he reputedly never does. He spoke to the audience in a personal way about personal feelings. It inspired some in me and you may endure them if you will.
First, he related his sisters' observation that the concession stand lacked Projekct 4 tee-shirts and her willingness to put her own there. Patricia Fripp is quite the entrepreneur. I'm guessing she chided him for not exploiting an obvious commercial opportunity to satisfy an assumable demand. He doesn't appear to think about $$$ as a dominant motivator, as you may have noticed and hopefully may come to appreciate...emulate.
He then told us a story about having told a story to an 1980's San Francisco audience with his sister in attendance who later claimed that she could tell the story better. He then told the story. It goes something like this...
A pig and a chicken visiting San Francisco had a conversation in which the chicken declared "Let's give something to the people here. We can give them breakfast of bacon and eggs" to which the pig replied "That's easy for you to say because you only need to contribute. I must give total commitment"
Aside from it's obvious meaning, I saw the telling of it to mean Robert Fripp wants to love us (audients) but he must respect us and we must demonstrate we deserve it in a way he can accept. My guess is that any demonstration of your total commitment to your craft will suffice but in the meantime, I recommend you buy the product/support the arts. Total commitment is, after all, what he demonstrates to us again and again in a variety of ways; the most recent of which are Discipline Global Mobile in general and the performance I just witnessed in particular.
There is no pretense of perfection with this Discipline but this very lack of pretense and perfection inspires the demand for Discipline in order to minimize overwhelming chaos. It must be daunting. Orchestrated chaos can be awesome when it resonates something familiar within. John Cage was pretty good at it. So are the masters I saw tonight- flubs and all. They are, after all, daring to tread new ground in front of us FOR us.
There must be no confusion that what DGM is doing is motivated out of crass economics inspite of the need to resort to its' methods. They dare to create so that we might dare to appreciate. I say this hoping DGM will see the inevitability of bring formal concessions on the road and that they may be shielded from scorn for doing so. Thanks for letting me get that out of my system. -- Mr E M'`Dia (c)1998 EYE-Con-O-Clast(tm)

Hi, folks!
The latest Artist Shop newsletter is out and you'll find it in its entirety at <http://www.artist-shop.com/news.htm>. There is one little item in there that will be of specific interest to ET'ers.
In our list of forthcoming import releases <http://www.artist-shop.com/catalog/imports/preorder.htm> you'll find the following:
20 bit digitally remastered Japanese reissues of the bulk of the legendary British prog group's albums for the E.G. label, each on a gold CD & in a miniaturized LP sleeve limited to the initial pressing only. Each includes all of the tracks from the original releases.
I should mention that I do not believe Robert Fripp or any past or present member of King Crimson was involved in the remastering process or any other aspect of these releases. There have been a lot of CD's fitting that description (20 bit digitally remastered, each on a gold CD & in a miniaturized LP sleeve limited to the initial pressing only) that have been coming out of Japan lately. One of those was the self titled McDonald and Giles CD. Ian McDonald himself told me that not only wasn't he involved in any aspect of that release, but that it all came as a complete surprise to him! So given that, it doesn't seem likely that Fripp was involved in the above mentioned releases. Perhaps he would care to comment on them.

Brad Wilmot mentioned Astor Piazzola's album "Zero Hour". This is an unbelievable, already legendary album of Avante Jazz Tango (though "Avant" is probably inappropriate for the post-Coltrane era). It totally kicks ass, and at it's best is better than the best sex most of us have ever had, particularly us married men (isn't most music?).
As for Fripp being a nice guy or not a nice guy, I'd like to re-iterate a question I have asked in another form before. So long as a performer (let's say.........Fripp) doesn't actually sink a knife into someone's heart or is a pedophile (hello James Levine), why do we find it so damned important that he be a nice guy? Isn't it easier to just assume he's a stinker, and then listen to his music? I mean, stinkers and other antisocials can still make excellent music, no? (Hello Buddy Rich & Chet Baker). Do we consider, then, that buying someone's music is in part a reward for them being a nice guy?
Then, of course, there may be a category of person who does not equate being liked with being a good person. "Let your left hand not know what your right hand is doing." This is a type of person that is trying to determine for himself what "good" actions mean and consist of, and is sure to make mistakes along the way. There is the added plus that if this person happens to be a stinker, then you will interact with a stinker, and not an image that the stinker is trying to put forth in order to be liked.

The two DGM samplers, "Sometimes God Hides" and "Sometime God Smiles" are IMHO remarkably successful in showcasing not only the diversity and intensity of the DGM musiCKing community, but the power and sheer emotion generated by soundscape snippets. What a marvelous way to discover the beauty within RF's soundscapes. With the exception of "A Blessing of Tears", and despite multiple attempts, I had been unable to fully realize the power hidden in three of four soundscape discs. "1999", "Radiophonics", and "That Which Passes" were gathering dust on the shelve until now.
Conclusion: only a personal experience of a soundscape performance would serve to inform me with fresh regard for these recordings. The opportunity for such an occasion presented itself last year, alas hope was dashed when the G3 stop in southern Texas was cancelled.
Ah, but now when listening to the samplers, which I have done a lot, I anticipate the pleasure that a soundscape snippet provides within the context of the other material on each disc. Going back to dust off the full soundscape discs replicates the pleasure. And now, I want more. In surround sound...theoretically it should sound as close to "live" experience as a recording can provide!
Technical bit: Would it be possible to encode a Dolby Digital as well as DTS version on one disc. DVD movies now frequently provide a choice of Dolby Prologic or Dolby Digital (5.1) sound. Certainly not too many KC and RF enthusiasts will be rushing to upgrade a satisfactory Dolby Digital system to DTS. Perhaps, DGM (RF) could be persuaded to follow this course if enough enthusiasts show an interest.

This IS exciting!
Although there is not enough information present for conclusions or speculation, just let me say that I am excited by the notion of any project (or ProjeKct) that might combine Soundscapes with a rhythm section. It's ironic: I was just enjoying Exposure off the second Garbiel album just last night and thinking about how fascinating a song that is - Gabriel's unique voice gives it a mysterious atmsophere. I hope Projekct Half happens and hope to hear any recordings (or maybe see a live performance?)!
Also, although Senor Fripp's Dolby Surround Soundscapes re-release is not yet available, Fripp has expressed great enthusiasm for this format. Being a fan of Surround myself, I believe it would be interesting to hear a ProjeKct 0.5 release in this format, too.

From: charles dot jowett at waters dot com Subject: Anyone interested in an ET musician's mailing list? Date: Wed, 2 Dec 1998 11:29:12 -0500
I was wondering if any other ET musicians are interested in starting a separate list for the purpose of musical discussions not directly related to KC or Robert Fripp. It would provide a forum for musicians with some similar musical influences (ie KC and Fripp) to discuss compositional ideas, techniques, gear etc. It could also be used to exchange tapes, CD's, MPEGs etc. If such a forum already exists, prehaps someone could point me in the right direction.
I consider myself a serious amateur musician. Although I occasionaly play paying gigs, the amount of income I receive from my musical activities is miniscule and I have no intention of it ever being a source of income.
I currently distribute my music, on cassette tape, for free to anyone who wants it. You can hear my work (MPEGs) and request a free copy of my latest tape via my web page at either

Hey,all. I know bootlegging has been discussed _ad nauseam_ in this forum and maybe Toby won't even let this through. But --
A number of people on this list seem to be Metheniacs. You might note that on his web site (www.patmethenygroup.com) he's added a "Question and Answer" section where he extensively answers fan mail. His comments are fascinating and erudite.
He just posted a long letter on, how he feels about bootlegging. What struck me as odd about it is how very similar it sounded (to me) to things Mr. Fripp has said here and elsewhere -- in content, not in wording. It's interesting since Metheny's public persona is really quite different (he comes out after concerts to meet fans, etc.) and, well, here you have a guy who's been a guitar star since he was a teenager, and who I don't think anyone has ever accused of putting money ahead of art (not that I for one think that Fripp does), saying basically the same things as Fripp in the nicest way I've seen.
Not to revive a dead letter, I just enjoyed his thoughts on what I know has been an issue 'round ET.

From: MWise at icfkaiser dot com (Wise, Marshall VA01) Date: Thu, 03 Dec 1998 12:19:00 -0500 Subject: Double metre - Double meaning?
After about 15 years of listening to the song, "Three of a Perfect Pair" (TOAPP), my slow wits formed a thought.
As some of you had probably figured out long ago, parts of this song are written or played in a way so that the time signature is ambiguous. Fripp plays triplets in 4 while the rest of the band plays in 3 (or maybe 6/8 - it could be either way). From the live CD, it seems clear that Fripp plays a pattern of four groups of triplets while Belew plays six 8th notes (duplets?) in the same time span. You can do the math and see that they are both playing 12 notes at exactly the same time. The difference is just in the phrasing - Fripp's part feels like it's in 4 while Adrian's feels like it is in 3, and it is ambiguous as to what time it is really in. (Then they separate out the 4 and 3 parts to make 7 in the chorus and solo.)
Perhaps this is obvious. Or, perhaps it is wrong. But, it finally occured to me that the lyrics to TOAPP referred to these "schizophrenic tendencies" in the music itself. And, I wondered if the title itself referred to grouping a phrase in 3 over a phrase in 2 (or multiples thereof). At least, the music and the lyrics seem to be intertwined. If so, brilliant! If not, still brilliant!
I got really suspicious when I recalled that same double or ambiguous time signature in one of the songs on Thrak. When I recalled the name of the song, I became convinced. "One Time". Listen to those lyrics about one hand doing something different from the other and the confusion of shifting sands, etc. As in TOAPP, the main pulse of the band in in 3 (or 6). But in the intro, a guitar lead is played in 4 over that 6, perhaps a harbinger of the uncertainty to come. And, most impressively, Adrian's vocal line changes from 3 in the verse to 4 in the refrain (or chorus? excuse my ignorance here). In the transition between the two, you feel uneasy because it's not clear which concept of time Adrian is following. You feel like he could go either way at any moment. And, as the lyrics say, he would get through all the confusion if he could just find, "One Time". This blows me away!
I've never seen an explanation of these lyrics. I'm not sure if Adrian came up with the time signature thing as well. I can't wait to hear his acoustic version of TOAPP.
I know Fripp has used these devices before in the music. I guess it's just an extension of compound meter, but I am not that educated about it. There's a part in LTIA II where bas and drums play four quintuples over the basic 5/4 beat. Sylvian/Fripp's 20th Century Dreaming also the vocal line in 4 over the band in 5. And, I'm not sure I'll ever really hear all the intricacies in Discipline.
Anyone else have any thoughts?

From: Paul dot C dot Wright at ercgroup dot com Subject: Discipline Global Mobile Collectors Club - Rolling Stone Clipped Date: Thu, 3 Dec 1998 11:32:57 -0600
Found the following PointCast Music Zone / News Dish feature (evidently culled from Rolling Stone) on Mr. Fripp's Record Club:
For years, artists have railed on about how much they hate record clubs -- hey, how would you feel if you were told that your latest album was worth less than a penny on the open market -- but lately, some folks have adopted the theory "if you can't beat 'em, compete with 'em." That's the attitude being expressed by uber-cerebral axeman Robert Fripp, who's just launched his very own record club, through which fanatical followers can purchase rare archival items as well as works-in-progress. The Discipline Global Mobile Collectors Club -- besides being almost impossible to say in one breath -- won't come cheap, however: Yearly dues check in at a whopping $96, which entitles members to the option of buying six albums per year. Fripp insists that the vast majority of the items put forth -- including the initial offering of a live King Crimson album dating back to a '69 London gig -- will not be available through any other channels. And if the guitarist's archives start to go bare after a season or two, he could always resort to a series of Krimson Karaoke discs -- after all, guys with pocket protectors have to get down at parties, too . . .

The first scape in the second show was a masterpiece. During the last few minutes I was slowly pacing up near the sound board. I had to halt my steps because my eyes filled with tears. I don't recall this ever happening to me before during a live musical performance. This "end" proved difficult for Robert to interrupt with the start of the next scape (who had walked away as it washed over us). #11 learned later from John Sinks that the dat had done some entangling on itself so we can only hope it survived. I plan to ask.
We learned that record producers on the two sides of the atlantic (europe v. usa) have different attitudes about the work they do. With americans focused on the product and europeans on the artist. This provides an interesting juxtaposition with the difficulties of touring europe. ANYBODY want to thread this?
Robert mentioned that his sister had suggested that talking to his audience a bit more was in order. I asked him how he thought this has been going. He replied with more details about Patricia so it seems my wording mislead him - the answer though was a good one. IMO these little talks are going oddly. Many people seem ill prepared in getting the words out right - hopefully this isn't a plot for us to take lessons from Patricia ;-). Robert went further out of his way to understand people than I had experienced at the Birchmere last year. He also handed out candy, oranges and frippnotized buttons to people with goo questions. He REALLY begged for women to speak up and several did. ok enough, tj #2 dumela at nicom dot com dc et @ http://www.tidalwave.net/~dumela/index~1.htm
Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1998 21:18:08 +0300 From: Erik DePoy <depoy at com2com dot ru> Subject: GIG REVIEW: Space Music at the Winter Garden Nov. 19
As last year, fortune decreed that I would attend another two Fall Soundscapes performances in New York City. This year, they were held at the World Financial Center in its performance area known as the Winter Garden. This hall is a splendid venue for Soundscapes and deserves a full description, for as RF writes in the leaflet accompanying the performances, "Soundscapes are improvised and largely governed by the time, place, audience, and performer's response to them... most musical situations of my experience pay little attention to the time, place, and personae of the musical event".
The Winter Garden is a large indoor courtyard area in the heart of the WFC complex. It is flanked on two sides by mall-type shops and cafes that attract passers-by as they make their way to/from work in the two enormous World Trade Center towers. The back of the Garden is comprised of three circular levels of stairs that provide a breathtaking view as one enters the hall. One sees the far end of the Garden, which looks out onto a river through glass panes reaching far up to the domed glass ceiling. The stage is located underneath three odd-shaped canopy sheets which act as both lighting backdrops and sound reflectors. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the hall is its sixteen tall palm trees, arranged in four rows throughout the audience seating area.
RF had already taken the stage as I entered the Garden. Tones were slowly emanating from the stage as I found a seat among a lunchtime gathering of perhaps 200 listeners. I use the term listeners because this was a particularly attentive bunch. Although there were a number of people there who had undoubtedly just stopped by to munch on a sandwich while listening to the latest performer in the WFC's music series "New Sounds with John Schaefer", like myself most sat listening attentively and/or otherwise relaxing in the sunlit interior.
Although RF encourages the audience to feel free to chat, move about, and otherwise be part of the performance rather than to merely witness it, the blue-suited ushers did their utmost to maintain an orderly atmosphere. For example, a lunching group had gathered next to me and in doing so turned a folding chair around to better facilitate conversation. Within a few moments an usher was on the scene to remind them of two rules, 1) one cannot turn chairs around and 2) one cannot use them as makeshift dining tables. The bemused foursome fell into line, but only after some quiet grumbling.
The atmosphere was therefore one that was perhaps a bit too restrictive, and this seemed to contribute to a laid back, almost reticent performance by RF. Nonetheless, the first piece was steady and relaxing, and provided me with an uplifted feeling as it tapered off into silence. The second piece began slowly and quietly, but then drifted off after a couple of minutes as if RF had aborted the idea (or rather the music had done so itself). After a pause, RF addressed his guitar (a tan colored Fernandes, the counterpart to the Sunburst model standing upright behind him) and the music commenced once again. After another 20 minutes or so, RF helped wind down the piece to end the day's first performance. This second piece was relaxing (as are most Soundscapes) but seemed to be more an outgrowth of whatever quality it was that led to the preceding false start. With that, RF slowly paced off stage without addressing the audience, but did stop to raise his hand to his heart and bow slightly.
The atmosphere of the evening (7 PM) performance was markedly different. The crowd had built to perhaps 350 people and the mood reminded me of a performance at a classical music hall. The darkness of the Garden was brought into relief by the now colorfully-lit stage backdrops, which were ever so subtly enhanced by the lighting technicians. The first piece was already developing as I arrived 10 minutes into the performance. Soundscapes are inherently difficult to describe in words, but I would submit that the sounds were broad, full low-register tones in a sequence of four with high notes looping in every 15 seconds or so. The sound in the Garden was wonderful, both clear and resonant. The stage backdrops, glass wall and ceiling, and high columned side walls combined to produce an expansive, open-air quality that enveloped the entire audience. This piece was certainly the darkest that day, but not ominously so. After the first piece ended, some brief applause, then the second piece. Unfortunately, this was marred by technical difficulties. Although to my ears inaudible, something had gone wrong with RF's guitar, and an assistant appeared onstage a number of times to attend to the problem. At one point, RF sat motionless in a curious position, with his guitar resting on one leg upright at about a 30 degree angle. This position was apparently in reference to the faulty guitar that was soon abandoned in favor of the second guitar. RF ended this second hour-long Soundscapes performance with a minute or two of some sounds that at first resembled rain, then a downpour with a single clap of thunder, then a rushing waterfall. The piece was then brought to an abrupt halt by RF, who then walked offstage to another round of applause.
I did not notice any flash bulbs, but RF again declined to address the audience despite the available microphone. As the crowd slowly drifted out of the Winter Garden, RF walked through them on one side only to be enveloped by a group of perhaps 15 earnest young men. He stopped and spoke for a few moments, then with a hand to his heart took his leave of the group. Imagine my surprise when after a minute, RF returned to the same area holding a box of munchies and a banana, which he presented to a 2-3 year old boy with some words and a smile. A lovely parting gesture indeed.

"Key to success" is a phrase we hear so often that it has become an American idiom. While there's no definitive formula or ingredient for professional success, Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power, seems to be getting closer to the answers we desire. In a recent Fast Company article, Greene reveals research on traits that Charles Darwin, Steve Jobs and other successful innovators have in common that set them apart from others in their career fields.
As strategic communicators, we constantly strive for new and different ideas that foster creative and innovative public relations. These six traits of successful people can help us dig deep and unlock our potential for crafting compelling messages:
- They are emotionally committed. Greene found that emotional connection, not intellect, is the driving force for success. Professionals in any industry should feel emotionally invested in their work and like a valuable piece in a larger puzzle to achieve their greatest potential.
- They don't care too much what others think of them. Successful people dedicate all their energy to improving themselves and honing their craft. Whether it's perfecting writing skills or interpersonal communication skills, PR professionals, like any others, should constantly be focused on personal improvement.
- They don't let their brain get rigid. When we get into the routine of doing the same work over and over, our brains face the threat of becoming stale. Do work in ways that sparks creativity and inspires innovation. Constantly try new methods to avoid getting complacent.
- They know when to turn off their phone. As PR professionals, many of us have a hard time disconnecting. While we feel the urgency to immediately check notifications and read emails, the successful people Greene interviewed know when to turn it off. The down time pays off as it allows them to focus in on a task or take the uninterrupted time to generate new ideas.
- They have a focus routine. Have you read that press release over and over but still aren't feeling it? Whether it's closing your office door, meditating or drinking a second cup of coffee in undisturbed silence, most successful people develop a routine to help them refocus, and it pays off.
- They don't live in their past successes. Don't get so comfortable in past successes that you don't push yourself to continue to achieve. Successful people always challenge themselves to think bigger and do better.
Stay tuned…

The 10 commandments of rock'n'roll
Bring the vocals in earlier – the vocals are the living beating heart of a song and its spirit, without them your song is an instrumental, they should start in the first 10 seconds - 20 seconds is way too late.
Make the chorus simpler – the chorus tells the listener what the song is all about, it tells them the key emotion and key fact. So your chorus should have one simple message alone, no second thoughts or added related thoughts that belong in the verse - a repeated phrase was often enough for the Beatles.
Get the best singer - If you sing lead vocals and play guitar, ask yourself if you really are the best person to do both of these jobs. Would a solo singer chosen for their personality and vocal range be better suited?
Scream, sing falsetto notes, make any kind of sound with your voice that does not form a word - This might make you seem a little mad, but that's half the point. The other half of the point is that all these sounds can often evoke emotions more powerful than a single line of lyrics.
Lyrics should be bold, shocking, mischievous or silly - If not, then do not bother. Introspective lyrics belong in a poetry book unless you can make the emotions universal. If you like writing about what is wrong with the world then become a documentary maker or a journalist instead, it's a far better medium for changing the world.
Write fast - Working with a collaborator makes for faster work. Lennon/McCartney wrote most of their songs in a single three hour stretch. They reasoned if it was taking longer it was not worth bothering with.
Be wild, not cool - Cool in rock'n'roll nowadays means conforming to a standard rock look or sound that is about 50 years old. The original rock'n'roll stars took risks with their look and their audience and so should you.
Break musical rules - The Beatles wrote one chord songs, played stuff backwards, created songs that were a mad patchwork of unrelated ideas, trialled new instruments. Importantly these were all their own ideas, they did not come at the instigation of a studio engineer.
Take back control from the engineer - Studio engineers have a vast array of buttons to push, next to none of which are to do with the essence of good rock'n'roll which comes from a band playing together.
Record live - The chemistry that arises from a small unit of musicians playing in sync with each other after months and years of practice is what makes rock'n'roll special over music played by random groups of session musicians. Record the instruments separately and you lose this magic.

Becoming a parent is a big milestone in anybody's life. Pregnancy brings about the fulfillment of being a woman. It completes a woman and gives her a feeling of accomplishment.
Pregnancy brings with it lustrous hair. It is true that hair grows very well in pregnant women. But the hair which has grown during pregnancy will shed after delivery and women will return to their original hair volume. Prenatal vitamins are vitamin supplements taken during pregnancy because pregnant ladies need more nutrients like folic acid and iron than non pregnant women. These vitamins contain nutrients which help hair growth. Let's look at a few of these:
Vitamins which help hair growth
- Vitamin A: This is an antioxidant and helps overall health including hair growth.
- Vitamin B: These gives us energy and also help hair growth. There is Niacin, Riboflavin and Thiamin etc to name a few. Niacin helps preventing hair from becoming lifeless and brittle.
- Vitamin C: This is a vitamin which is very high in citrus fruits which helps build the immune system. It also helps maintain healthy and lustrous hair.
- Vitamin D: This helps healthy follicle growth and strong bones. The body absorbs this vitamin when exposed to the Sun.
- Vitamin E: Sufficient quantity of vitamin E helps keep the scalp healthy thereby promoting hair growth.
- Iron: Though not a vitamin, iron aids in oxygen flow throughout the body and hence promotes hair growth.
- Vitamin B7 or Biotin: This has to be taken regularly to help growth of lustrous hair. This vitamin cannot be retained by the body as it is water soluble, so it has to be taken everyday to be effective.
- Zinc: Zinc levels have to be regulated in the body as low zinc levels mean lifeless and dull hair and hair growth.
Examples: Some vitamins which are available are Code Raw prenatal from Garden of Life, Rainbow light prenatal one vitamin, New chapter prenatal vitamins etc to suggest a few. These contain essential nutrients which aid hair growth. But in addition to all this it is important that the pregnant woman eats a balanced diet. This includes green vegetables, fruits, dairy products, soya beans, millets and flax seed extracts and dry fruits.
It is advised to take vitamin supplements during pregnancy so that the health of the mother and her unborn baby is good. But these are only supplements, to be taken in addition to a healthy diet and not instead of a good meal. In some cases prenatal vitamins can aggravate nausea and morning sickness. In some, they can cause constipation. It is better to check with a doctor in case the situation becomes unbearable. Also the dosage of any vitamin supplement will depend on what the doctor prescribes. Too little of it could be ineffective though too much of it could also be harmful.
Vitamin deficiency:
Normally a healthy balanced diet helps good growth of the baby inside the woman. But in many cases, women need supplements because they are unable to eat due to nausea or in general are weak and don't have adequate nutrition.
- Folic acid deficiency: This can cause heart issues in the fetus and also low birth weight or even miscarriage in some cases.
- Calcium deficiency: This could cause hypertension and in some cases, later in life the bones could become very weak.
- Iron deficiency: This causes low birth weight and premature delivery.
- Vitamin A deficiency: This could cause blindness in new born children.
- Vitamin D deficiency: This could lead to low blood calcium levels in newborn babies and also weak bones.
Doctors recommend vitamins throughout the pregnancy. These can be continued even after childbirth, as per the doctor's recommendations. New mothers need these when they are breast feeding.
Vitamins if not pregnant:
In case of women who are not pregnant, a balanced diet provides enough nutrition for their everyday activities. The extra vitamin supplements are not necessary. They can actually cause harm. So it is better to avoid taking them for long durations.
Gaining weight with vitamins:
Vitamin supplements do not directly result in increased weight during pregnancy. But they provide nourishment to both the baby and the mother. They help the baby grow well and as the baby grows, the weight increases of the mother too. These do not contain any calories, so there is no question of them increasing your weight.
Pregnancy and its experience differs from woman to woman. There is no set rule that certain things will happen. Hair growth is a common factor in most pregnant woman. Most vitamins help strengthen the bone, hair and body of the woman and the unborn baby.

Coke Scholars Rebuild Houston Homes after Harvey
Houston Coke Scholars rolled up their sleeves on Saturday, May 19, to help repair the damage done by Hurricane Harvey. The group worked with Rebuilding Together Houston, restoring houses damaged by the hurricane in the Independence Heights neighborhood by installing roofing, siding, and painting.
The day was spearheaded by Marc Eichenbaum, 2000 Scholar and Special Assistant to the Mayor for Homelessness Initiatives for the city of Houston, who witnessed the devastation of Hurricane Harvey first hand and knew his fellow Scholars would want to help.
"Watching these leaders from across Texas come together to give back to this Houston community and victims of Hurricane Harvey was humbling. They worked hard, got to know the home owners, and had a great time in the process!" said Carolyn Norton, Alumni Relations Manager for the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation.
The mayor of Houston, Mayor Turner, visited the project and presented the team with a proclamation naming the day as Coke Scholars Day.
"Having the Mayor join us at Houston Service Day was really special, and a testament to the impact made with Rebuilding Houston Together and local volunteers. It was an honor to accept his proclamation naming the day Coke Scholars Day," said Jane Hale Hopkins, President-Elect and Vice President of the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation.
In the thick of Hurricane Harvey, Coke Scholars had raised funds, cleaned out damaged buildings, set up childcare areas in nearby shelters, rescued displaced animals, collected items to donate to flood victims, distributed drinking water, staffed shelters, and much more, and this service day was an opportunity to revisit their efforts.
Each Coke Scholar received a college scholarship during their senior year of high school in recognition of their leadership and passion for service, and that passion brings program alumni from all ages together well after they graduate high school.
No strangers to hurricane clean-ups, Coke Scholars planned four service trips to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. In addition to these service projects, the Coke Scholars Alumni Advisory Board has organized weekend-long Service Summits in Denver, Austin, and Miami where alumni focus on how to best make an impact through service with hands-on activities, topical sessions with community leaders, and thoughtful discussions with each other.
"One thing that connects all Coca-Cola Scholars is their passion to serve others. They see a need in their community and take action to fill it while motivating others to join the cause. It's incredible what they can accomplish when they all come together," said J. Mark Davis, President of the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation.
To cap the day of hard work, alumni and their families gathered for a backyard cookout at Marc's home, enjoying treats from the grill and a bouncy house for the little ones.
"The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation and Coca-Cola Scholars have a zest, have a zeal, not just for life, but for service, that is bar none," said Marc.
The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation celebrates and empowers visionary leaders who are refreshing the world. With its 30th class of Coca-Cola Scholars, the Foundation has provided more than $66 million in scholarships to over 6,000 program alumni who together have become a powerful force for positive change.
Starting in August of 2018, students who are high school seniors may apply to be Coca-Cola Scholars through October 31, 2018. Learn more at www.coca-colascholars.org.

A. A high home inflation rate could cause a current account a deficit since it results to decrease exports and increase imports.
2-12-a: U.S.-based MNCs commonly invest in foreign securities. Assume that the dollar is presently weak and is expected to strengthen over time. How will these expectations affect the tendency of U.S. investors to invest in foreign securities?
A. This expectations of a strong dollar would discourage U.S. investors from investing abroad, The other way, There has been an increased tendency that Japan investors invest in foreign securities due to strong Yen.
2-13-a: Explain why a stronger dollar could enlarge the U.S. balance of trade deficit. Explain why a weaker dollar could affect the U.S. balance of trade deficit.
A. A stronger dollar makes U.S. goods less attractive to foreign importers due to expensive price to purchase and it may reduce U.S. exports. The other way, U.S. imports will be more attractive to U.S. exporters due to cheap price to purchase foreign goods and may increase U.S. imports. And this trade imbalance will result trade deficit. And a weaker home currency increases the prices of imports purchased by the home country and reduces the prices paid by foreign businesses for the home country's exports. This should cause a decrease in the home country's demand for imports and an increase in the foreign demand for the home country's exports, and therefore increase the current

High and MightyJanuary 31, 2011 at 2:40 pm | Posted in Bible Studies, Isaiah | 13 Comments
Tags: Alexander the Great, Christ the Savior, Daniel 11, Isaiah 9, Jeremiah 9, preeminence of Christ, Revelation 12, Revelation 19, Romans 14, Titus 2
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6, emphasis added
Here are three points to consider as we rejoice that this Child Who was born and this Son Who was given shall be called the Mighty God:
1. The proclamation of His might
2. The promise of His might
3. The preeminence of His might
His name shall be called The mighty God. Isaiah 9:6 is not saying that one day Jesus will be The mighty God. He has always been The mighty God. Jesus was not a created being. He and the Father and the Holy Ghost have always been one God in three Persons. No one can fully explain this, but it is true. Isaiah 9:6 is saying that He will be called The mighty God.
1. The proclamation of Jesus as The mighty God.
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Titus 2:13
The King James Version is about the only version that has it right: "The mighty God." At His glorious appearing, His people will see the fulfillment of their Savior Jesus Christ – and THE great God – that they are One.
2. The promise of His might
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Romans 14:11-12
This Child, this Son of the Most High, is The mighty God. His might reaches over everything in this world and beyond. He places His hand on a table of stone and no man can pry it up. He raises His arm – in judgment or in love – and no man can pull it down. He rules and reigns in Heaven and in Earth and in hell. He will do with you as He pleases and one day You will stand before Him in judgment or to give an account. He is, He always has been, He always will be, and HE SHALL BE CALLED: The mighty God.
3. The preeminence of His might
This word "might" in the Hebrew is gibbowr. It has a connotation of reckless bravery – like a hunter or a soldier or a hero who runs into a dangerous situation with no thought for his own safety because he is invincible. It is used in the Bible of a few men, but not in the same way it is used by God to describe His own might.
Alexander the Great is one illustration. Daniel 11:3 describes him as a mighty king, but Jeremiah 9:23 says that the worldly wise should not glory in their wisdom; the worldly rich should not glory in their riches; and the worldly mighty should not glory in their might. Alexander was 33, a young man, when reportedly he wept because he had no worlds left to conquer. Then a tiny virus entered his body – and he died of a fever. The "mightiest" man of all time turned out to be nothing more than animated dust compared to the One who is truly The mighty God.
Do you hold some human being in high regard? Are you trusting your own "might?" Your health, your wealth, your wisdom? Or is your trust in the The mighty God?
He shall be called wonderful – but He shall be called wonderful by the power of His might. He shall be called Counsellor – with a capital C – because His might is such that He needed to take counsel of no man. He shall be called The everlasting Father – because His might will never diminish or be overcome. This is a great comfort to His children and a great dread to His enemies – because there is no changing of the guard. We can depend on His promises. He is mighty enough to carry them out and enforce them. Revelation Chapters 12 and 19 state that He will rule the nations with a rod of iron.
The mighty God is mighty to rule – and mighty to save. If He is your Savior you should find comfort and motivation to serve Him.

Ship is named with royal ceremony
26 September 2019
The UK's new polar research ship is formally named the RRS Sir David Attenborough today (Thursday 26 September) by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The royals will follow tradition by smashing a bottle of champagne against the hull. Special guest Sir David Attenborough will attend.
A three-day public celebration, hosted at the shipyard by British Antarctic Survey and Cammell Laird, aims to inspire and inform people about polar science, engineering and technology – and why it matters to everyday life.
Commissioned by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) - part of UK Research and Innovation, built by Cammell Laird and operated by British Antarctic Survey, this new research platform will transform how ship-borne science is conducted in the Polar Regions. It is part of a major Government polar infrastructure investment programme (a total of £300M) designed to keep Britain at the forefront of world-leading research in Antarctica and the Arctic.
Science Minister Chris Skidmore says:
"This is an incredibly exciting moment in our scientific history. The RRS Sir David Attenborough will allow us to make a major leap forward in our understanding of the environment.
"As the first G7 nation to legislate for net zero carbon emissions, it is vital that we invest in scientific efforts that will help us deliver on this. From our world leading capability in earth observation satellites to our ground-breaking research into plastic-eating enzymes, the UK continues to lead by example as a truly green economy.
"This new vessel is an incredible feat of engineering. But it also recognises one of our most respected and admired figures - Sir David Attenborough. Nobody has done more than David to spread the message that we should understand and protect our planet, and I'm delighted that he is being honoured in this naming ceremony."
Professor Duncan Wingham, Executive Chair NERC, says:
"This is an exciting day for all of us as we celebrate the naming of the RRS Sir David Attenborough. Today's ceremony marks the start of an important era that will help ensure world-class polar and deep ocean science in the decades to come. While the Polar Regions might seem remote to the UK, it is vital to understand that the poles are where we first see the impact of global environmental changes."
Sir David Attenborough says:
"This is the third milestone event that I have attended during the construction of this superb ship, and I have enjoyed watching progress from keel-laying till now. It is a remarkable engineering achievement. We all need this ship. Our world is changin
g and it's clear that people around the world – especially the young – are becoming more and more concerned about a climate catastrophe. But human beings are resilient and skilful. If we pay attention to the scientific knowledge that those who will sail in this ship will gather, then we will stand a much better chance of finding a way to deal with what lies ahead."
In the coming weeks specialist engineers will complete the interior fit-out. A programme of technical and equipment testing will take place around the River Mersey and in deeper waters around the UK. Ice trials in the northern hemisphere are planned from March 2020, followed by a science rehearsal cruise from August 2020. The ship is scheduled to enter full service from October 2020.
Professor Dame Jane Francis, Director of British Antarctic Survey, says:
"This magnificent ship will take UK scientists deep into the heart of the ice-covered polar seas. With state-of-the-art technology they will discover how drastically the polar oceans and the ice have been changed by our actions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere warns that the oceans are warming and becoming more acidic with CO2, glaciers are melting and sea level is rising across the planet, and the polar bears and penguins are losing their homes. This ship will take us to the ends of the Earth to help us understand our future world."
Sir Mark Walport, Chief Executive of UKRI Research and Innovation, says:
"The RRS Sir David Attenborough is one of the most advanced polar research vessels in the world and will transform how ship-borne science is conducted in the Polar Regions. It will provide scientists with state-of-the-art facilities to undertake crucial research into the impact of global change on our oceans, marine biodiversity and climate, and ensure that the UK remains at the forefront of polar science."
The naming ceremony kicks off a three-day immersive festival of science, engineering and ship building. 'Ice Worlds' will bring the Polar Regions to life with over 20 exhibition stands. The festival will be adjacent to the RRS Sir David Attenborough in the Cammell Laird shipyard.
The naming ceremony will be live-streamed from 13:30 on the BAS website: www.bas.ac.uk/live, or follow #polarship; #RRSSirDavidAttenborough; @BAS_News; @UKRI_News; @NERCscience.

Test scores are only one measure of a student, but they can be used to dispel stereotypes and promote higher achievement, superintendent says.
For years the need for trained and qualified teachers has been growing in schools across California, especially in math and science.
The solution for schools isn't as simple as passing a new tax, researcher says.
Report finds those students lose substantially more instruction time due to discipline than their white counterparts.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has issued requests for proposals focused on collaborative, locally based efforts to improve outcomes for black, Latino and low-income students in middle and high schools.
The study showed a significant increase in math performance, especially among low-income high school students.
Equity advocates give California an incomplete grade on its new accountability system.
USC professor Shaun Harper will lead a national survey that seeks to explore what college students think about their experiences about race, gender and other factors.
An Education Trust-West study found wide achievement gaps, even though Latino students make up a majority of students.
The new policy would allow UC's nine undergraduate campuses to seek recommendation letters and other information from up to 15 percent of their freshman applicants. The change will be monitored to see if it hurts low-income and minority students.
Many California schools aren't reporting whether girls have equal access to high school sports teams, a new study from Legal Aid at Work finds.
More students applied to CSU and UC colleges once they got timely information from counselors and others.
About 30 percent of Oakland students attend charter schools – one of the highest concentrations of charter students in the state.
Jeff Duncan-Andrade, an associate professor and school teacher and leader in Oakland, says a focus on equity could lead to a renaissance in education.
Next Generation Science Standards aim to reach minorities, English learners and others underrepresented in science fields.

If you are already focusing on regenerative farming approaches but need a better overview of principles and philosophies, or if you are an advocate/lobbyist for truly sustainable food production or farming, then this short course would be the ideal way to broaden your understanding. If your company wishes to increase its offering of sustainably produced products, this course could give you exactly the kind of understanding you would need!
We would like to see a diversity of practitioners join this course. Regenerative and organic systems are by their nature cross-disciplinary and multi-faceted, and bringing people from different disciplines together, enhances the value of the learning and sharing!
The course is held at 42 Acres retreat centre in Somerset, England. The venue practices regenerative agriculture principles through its 'soil to gut' food philosophy, which you will experience through the highest quality and delicious food served during the course.
The peaceful location surrounded by wild meadows and ancient woodland create the ideal environment for a most enjoyable and worthwhile learning experience.You should arrive at 14:00 on Monday, 4 February 2019 and the work sessions will end at 12:00 on Friday, 8 February 2019.
