10 years ago, Tuesday, September 11 started as a regular day at work. I was in a hurry — I was headed out on my first business trip that afternoon. A year later, I wrote about my experience, and reading it takes me right back to those moments: http://blog.danandem.com/2002/09/10/i-was-supposed-to-fly-that-day/ .
I'm surprised at how tender the wound still is. I'm shocked at how hard it hits me if I let myself think about it. The loss of life, the shock, the fear — the profound damage done to our sense of security and safety. But mostly, the loss.
I still get chills and cry whenever I think about it. I remember the people jumping from the World Trade Center buildings. I remember the recordings of the phone calls from the people who knew they weren't going to make it, preserved on answering machines and in voice mails for friends, spouses, parents, children that couldn't be reached. I remember the effort it took, in the beginning, to do normal things and not be afraid. Thinking about it affects me differently, now, because I'm a mom — everyone who was lost was someone's child.
My kids have never known a world where "September 11" hadn't happened. It will forever be a part of their landscape, of their nation's and their family's history. But so, too, is the bravery and dedication of those who responded, that day and in the years that followed.
Today, being outside of the US is particularly strange. What happened on September 11, 2001 is part of the American cultural experience — but not here. The world shares our grief, on this anniversary, but they weren't there, and they can't really understand. I feel safer being here, but also so distant. America is my home. It's where I would prefer to be today.
Ten years on, life continues. Babies are born, grow up, and enter the world. The world that they enter has not forgotten what passed on that Tuesday morning, ten years ago. We are wiser and more wary. But we are also humbled by the brotherhood and selflessness possible in humanity. We know better than to take our precious moments together for granted.
Those who attacked us ten years ago sought to terrify and cripple us. The wounds they inflicted will never leave us. But we are more than they thought we were. We will never forget, but we will move forward.
And one day, maybe I won't cry when I think about it. But I wouldn't bet on it.

Integrate Aha! With Ping Identity
Ping Identity provides identity and access management (IAM) solutions that give customers and employees one-click access to any application from any device. Today, Ping Identity provides identity and access management (IAM) solutions that give customers and employees one-click access to any application from any device.
Single sign-on allows users of your Aha! account to log in using your existing SAML enabled identity provider. This means users don't have to keep track of yet another email and password. More importantly, it grants admins the ability to add and revoke user access centrally using your existing identity management tool.
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is a standard protocol that provides identity providers a secure way to let a service provider, such as Aha!, know who a user is. It does this by sending Aha! a cryptographically signed XML document asserting the user is who they say along with some basic user information.
Step 1: Adding SSO
To get started go to the Account settings → Profile page and click "Enable SSO". This will display the SSO settings where you can give your SSO provider a name (required) and add the details for you identity provider.
Aha! supports the SAML 2.0 standard which provides a couple ways to streamline configuration. Although each identity provider will have different interfaces and nuances most provide configuration metadata as a URL or downloadable file.
Step 2: Migrating existing Aha! users to SSO – will create a new user
In Aha! SSO users are kept completely separate from Email/Password based users to provide the best security possible. However, existing Email/Password users can be migrated to SSO users as long as they meet the following conditions:
- The user must not be associated with any other Aha! account
- The user hasn't logged in with SSO yet since this will provision a new user for them
If a user meets those conditions you can simply find the user's account in Account Settings → Users and select the user to migrate. Qualifying users will have an option available to change their Identity Provider from password to the name of your SSO provider. Once changed, the account will be able to login via SSO.
Step 3: Adding/removing users
To manage user settings go to Account Settings → Users where you will see a list of all users associated with the account. Users who login using Ping Identity will be tagged with "Ping Identity" (or whatever you named the integration) and are separate accounts from those who log in with an email address and password. Clicking on a user will allow you to edit their information and set products and roles as you would for a standard user.

Vegas and buffets go hand in hand like… fries and gravy. Or… peanut butter and jam. It seems that on or off the strip buffets are featured everywhere. Truth be told, I am not a huge fan of buffets due to the fact that it's more about quantity than quality. Call me picky, but I can't eat very much at a buffet so it's a waste of money for me. However, with my recent stay at the Mirage we got two free buffet vouchers for each night we stayed and although it took up a lot of my meal quotas (I had so many restaurants I wanted to try! Sigh), I'm not going to let it go to waste. We tried all three meals – breakfast, lunch and dinner and I got so sick of it that I ended up eating half of what I actually brought back, and I already tried to not put too much on my plate. I'm not proud of it – the amount of food that constantly gets wasted is just wrong (cruise ships are the worst!) because if you get something you don't like, just leave it on the plate to be collected!
Anyways, I only took pictures of what I ate. There were way too many people hovering at the buffet stations so taking pictures of them was not possible. My pictures will just give you an idea of what you can expect although selections will change anyway. The stations are always the same but the food does change here and there. There really is something for every body unless you're just super picky like I am.
Day 1 – Lunch
We got off the plane and were famished. Picking up our car and leaving the car rental complex took a really long time so although our flight landed at 10:30am or so, we didn't get to the hotel until 12:30pm. At this time you can still expect some breakfast items but mainly lunch. All of the food stations are open.
Smoked salmon, prosciutto, California rolls, gyozas and siu mai (steamed pork meatballs) – everything on the plate was decent with the exception of the smoked salmon and prosciutto.
Wonton noodles with two wontons – I ate quite a bit of this. When you travel, do you sometimes crave for familiar food and just need something comforting? Yeah I'm so Asian :p I like how the noodles weren't too soggy and the broth was nice and light.
Fish and chips – I didn't want the large portion of fries but it was preportioned out, so I only ate the fish and a couple pieces of fries. This was actually decent and I still wish I could've just got the fish pieces separately.
Some shrimp cocktail thing, roasted vegetables, mushroom pizza and roasted plantain – turns out I still have my adverse reaction to mushrooms… blah. Pizzas here have a thin, chewy crust which is something I prefer. I quite liked the roasted plantain (with brown sugar) – a very nice treat.
Desserts – Cravings cannot do desserts. I'm sorry, but these only looked good. The texture for the panna cotta, mousse and creme brulee were all wrong – as if they weren't set properly or something. The chocolate covered marshmallow and that other chocolatey thing on stick were so sickeningly sweet that I couldn't get past one bite.
Day 2 – Dinner
Seaweed salad, gyoza, spicy shrimp roll, siu mai, spring rolls, fried noodles – Yeah I really like those gyozas. Noodles were nicely al dente – surprising for Chinese food at a buffet but the vegetable spring roll was awful – the ingredients inside were so mushy that I couldn't even make out what they were.
More wonton noodles!
Butternut squash ravioli, pepperoni pizza, more sushi rolls, guacamole, mashed potatoes, roasted root vegetables and roasted leg of lamb – the roasted root vegetables were surprisingly cold. The roasted lamb was my favorite – very tender but that Frankenstein color of mint jelly was a horrible pairing – it tasted so artificial that it ruined the meat.
Desserts: peanut butter chocolate tart, key lime tart and some chocolate thing – These were seriously not any better. The key lime curd was probably the best thing and that's pretty much all I ate after tasting everything else. The peanut butter filling had a gritty texture to it and tasted very artificial. The chocolate thing tasted sort of like a creme caramel.
Day 3 – Breakfast
Since we have plans for lunch we decided to only do one plate at breakfast.
Fried chicken with gravy, sausage rounds, bacon, Florentine egg Benedict, french toast with maple flavored syrup and red grapefruit wedges – I love their honesty in labeling for the "maple flavored syrup", lol. I think I like breakfast at Cravings more b/c everything tasted very consistent here, with the exception of the very bitter grapefruit and spicy sausage round… didn't know it was spicy. I never had fried chicken for breakfast ever and the one here was very tasty – nicely flavored and the gravy was delicious without being too salty.
Day 4 – Breakfast
Again, saving our stomachs for lunch.
Florentine egg benedict, vanilla bread pudding, breakfast stromboli, fried chicken with gravy and ham – yes, you can tell that I like the fried chicken huh? The bread pudding was way too sweet… especially for breakfast! The stromboli was stuffed with a good amount of eggs, salami, cheese… ricotta… ok, I don't think I like ricotta cheese in general.
Bowl of watermelon – Just because it was time for some fruits.
I think the buffet isn't as good as what I remembered it to be about 5.5 years ago… back then I was more into buffets too! However, it's good for what it is and some items are pretty tasty. I will say that had we not gotten daily vouchers, I probably would've maybe only ate here once. Service was pretty good albeit a bit slow, but the restaurant was busy when we went. Do I recommend this buffet? It's definitely better than Excalibur and Luxor but not better than Bellagio for sure. If you do stay at the Mirage and don't feel like going out, it would be a good choice for a quick meal.

The coat of arms was granted by Royal Resolution of 25 July 1973. Description:
"In sable three wheels or, a chief or with a lion passant gules. The shield
is covered by a crown or with three leaves and two pearls".
The Coat of Arms is a combination of the arms of (Veen - the lion, see Ralf Hartemink's site), with the wheels from the arms of Eethen and Wijk en Aalburg. Originally the wheels came from the arms of Heusden, since 1260. The following story explains the presence of the wheel:
Boudewijn, second Lord of Heusden, served King Edmond of England, and abducted between 875 and 890 the King's daughter Sophia. A reconciliation could only be realized if Boudewijn would replace his old arms with arms with a wheel. (the story doesn't mention why...). Another chronicle tells that Edmond's envoys found Sophia spinning yarn on a round spinning-wheel.
The only truth in this story is the fact that the Lords of Heusden used a Coat of Arms with a wheel in very ancient times; however the use of Coats of Arms in the Netherlands started only in the beginning of the 12th century. King Edmond might have been Edmund, king of East Anglia (854-869).

True Story
Hello everyone how is the going going? I have crossed over to the other side of the pond. My UK border patrol harassment story is for another day.
So a friend called me up to just air her feelings about a situation. Her friend Tina called her up to tell her she was going to be an aunty. To the best of her knowledge, Tina wasnt seeing anyone. So she said congrats and began probing.
Turns out Tina had an affair with her sister's husband's friend. Said affair has been going on for 4 years. Tina's sister has cut her off because of the issue. Anyways Tina has decided to birth the child.
Now Tina has told her boyfriend's wife she is pregnant. Said boyfriend has 3 kids with his wife. Tina claims the wife embraced her and told her she would treat her like a sister and the wife's mother told her she was welcome.
All that craziness aside, Tina makes beads for a living in Lagos and is always around town with this woman's husband.
I am really short of words, because i dont believe a 30 year old woman could rob another woman of her home and claim happiness. Fine the man doesnt respect his home, but it takes two, no? Next she has no tangible source of income, if a man can betray a woman who he swore to God to love and protect, what keeps him from throwing her -Tina on the streets?
I am asking questions in my head and i keep thinking, maybe she simply has low self esteem? Or are they winching her from her village? Bizzare things are happening.
Please feel free to comment on the issue at hand.

Seven years ago, there was a rapturously reviewed Broadway revival of a '60s French sex farce called Boeing Boeing, written by Marc Camoletti, in a translation by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans. It's about Bernard, a man who is juggling three stewardesses, and how everything gets messed up when an old school chum, Robert, stops by for a visit.
After seeing the current Pittsburgh CLO Cabaret production, I'm wondering whether I've lost my mind. Instead of being swept away, I left the theater dispirited and disgusted.
Yes, I know these sorts of plays are meant as nothing more than a bit of cheeky fun. And at their best, there is a certain pleasure to be had from the clockwork precision of the slamming doors and mounting hysteria. (None of which, by the way, Boeing Boeing possesses.)
What irritates me about sex farces, however, is the way the playwright titillates an audience with the illicit tingle of infidelity but then, in the last five minutes, transforms the cad into a loving, monogamous husband. Boeing Boeing follows the same path ... and the transformation here is especially eye-rolling, happening as it does in less than three seconds.
But mostly I dislike the genre because of its view of women, presented as little more than tissues to be discarded once the man has done his business in them. Boeing Boeing is especially guilty in this regard: Bernard is unbelievably demeaning and selfish in his treatment of the stewardesses. Yes, it's just a silly comedy. But in order for the jokes to work, you need to have a specific opinion about women ... which I do not.
Part of my reaction might be based on this by-the-numbers CLO production, directed by Van Kaplan. The actors, a hard-working cast to be sure, led by Tony Bingham and Connor McCanlus, say their lines and hit their marks with verve. But the show never really catches fire; that foreboding sense of the impending discovery of Bernard's chicanery fails to gather.
On the plus side, set designer Tony Ferrieri has created the fantastic 1960s swingin' bachelor apartment. If he could only get the tenant to move out.

United Airlines cuts losses; LAN upgraded; US Airways down
The majority of North and South American carriers made modest gains on Wednesday (27-Jan-2010), as the wider market moved into positive territory in the last 30 minutes of trading, after the US Federal Reserve announced they would keep interest rates near zero, ahead of President Obama's State of the Union address after trading. As a result, the Dow (+0.4%) was up, as was the AMEX Airline Index (+0.2%), which was also assisted by a fall in oil prices (-1.4%), to USD73.67.
United Airlines cuts losses
United Airlines (+0.3%) reported a smaller than expected net loss for 4Q2009 and a narrower net loss for FY2009 during trading. The full service carrier reported a 4Q2009 net loss of USD240 million, compared to a loss of USD1,315 million in the previous corresponding period, while the carrier also reported a FY2009 net loss of USD651 million, compared to a loss of USD5,396 million in the previous corresponding period.
Operating revenue per ASM (RASM) also improved in 4Q2009, down 4.5% year-on-year, to USD12.47 cents, compared to a drop of 12.6% for the full year, to USD11.61 cents.
CEO and Chairman, Glenn Tilton, attributed the improved results to its tighter cost control, stating this, in addition to improved liquidity, will allow United to continue to improve its competitive position. CFO, Kathryn Mikells, stated improvements in Business and Premium demand are assisting the carrier "on the road to closing the profitability gap". However, COO, John Tague, stated the carrier, as well as the rest of the airline industry, still has a "long way to go before we achieve a full recovery".
More details of United Airlines' financial results can be found in today's America Airline Daily, your one-stop shop for news, data and analysis from the dynamic North American, Caribbean and Latin American aviation markets.
AirTran posts better than expected results
AirTran (+1.5%) meanwhile gained after it reported a net profit of USD17.1 million (compared to a loss of USD122 million in the previous corresponding period), to become one of only a handful of carriers to report a profit in every quarter of 2009.
For the full year, AirTran's net profit of USD134.7 million, operating profit of USD177 million and load factor of 79.8% represented record results for the carrier.
LAN upgraded
LAN (+1.6%) gained on news Citi upgraded the carrier's stock rating from 'Hold' to 'Buy', also increasing its price target to USD20.
US Airways expected to post net loss of USD83.9 million
US Airways (-3.8%) meanwhile made the largest fall on Wednesday, ahead of reporting its 4Q2009 and FY2009 financial results tomorrow. According to a poll by Reuters, analysts on average expect the carrier to report a loss of approximately USD83.9 million for 4Q2009, or USD0.50 cents per share, on revenue of USD2.59 billion.
Southwest (-1.9%) was also down yesterday.
North & South America selected airlines daily share price movements (% change): 27-Jan-2010

Can't wait to see it. The Craftsman style is my absolute favorite.
- March 31, 2009 at 11:00 AM
I have a craftsman styled home. I am excited to see this episode because I struggle with the same issue. I love the craftsman style and architecture, but want to find a way to update the look without disturbing the "bones" of the place. I don't want my home to feel like a craftsman museum. I want it to have a fresh look while still honoring the style. Does that make any sense to you? It sounds like that's what might be happening tomorrow and I am excited to see it. I really love your show and even more, your style.

Craftsman is not necessarily my style. I am very interested to see what you do. I love your style. Hope the new season goes well and looking forward to the new furniture line.

Wishing you and your staff the same success that you've had in previous Seasons.
Hoping one day the series will come to C-A-N-A-D-A.

I wish you more success with this and each season than you could ever have imagined. No matter what show or network you're on, I will tune in. I met you years ago at a Home & Garden Show appearance you did in Colorado Springs (you were on TLC's Clean Sweep at the time) and my husband and I were touched and blown away by your one on one kindness and time with each and every person. You are the genuine article. Every time we watch you on RMS, my husband turns to me and says, "that guy is the genuine article." I agree. Many, Many congrats on all your success and or future ones to come.
- March 31, 2009 at 7:07 PM
At the risk of being redundant, I adore you and your show.
- March 31, 2009 at 7:21 PM
Excellent news. I will be there.
- March 31, 2009 at 9:14 PM
I am excited about the new season! Do you ever rest? I follow you on FaceBook and Twitter. All you do is work. I don't want my favorite designer and tv personality to burn himself out. Though it does seem that you enjoy your coffee and tasty pastries. A man after my own heart. Oh, BTW--feel free to give us a sneak peak on this new furniture of yours. I'm dying here.
See you tomorrow. On TV!
- March 31, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Season 3! Yes, please. Ha, Ha. I am looking forward to it. Thank you for posting all the color & product detail as well from each episode. It's easier to navigate and get info than on the RMS web site.
- March 31, 2009 at 11:30 PM
I did not know about the new season and I have been a loyal viewer. Thank you for the info.
- March 31, 2009 at 11:39 PM
As I wait for 8:30pm (will be doing the 'happy dance' intermittently today) I have two questions for you. First, since HGTV foots the bill for RMS, how much input do the HOs get? If you come up with something that they strongly dislike, do you change your design or do you try to convince them to go with it?
Secondly, is your RMS staff that same as your Swell Space staff? How would you describe your managerial style?
Jessie (who apparently can't count!)

Jessie (Anonymous)-
The HO's have input when I scout the location and ask them what they would like to see. That is their big chance to give ,e their likes and dislikes. I then present my team and the production co. a design plan with a week or less so we can get started. Since we have appox 5 working days and 5 shooting days (no real construction work gets accomplished on shooting days due to sound and cameras) everything has to be be pre-ordered and pre-bought in order to make the very tight reveal deadline. There is very little wiggle room to go into another design direction once we've started. Unlike a real life makeover or one with a non TV client, timing, very strict budgets as well as hardly no room for mistakes and do-overs, is the name of the RMS game. It's essential that i understand what our HO's want from the get go so I don't take them down the wrong path. I ask A LOT of questions and play CSI Designer in their home before coming up with a plan.
My RMS team is just for RMS.
You would have to ask them what they think my managerial style is. I think I'm fair, but it's difficult to be objective about yourself. I will tell you this, one of the key components to my managerial style is brining them baked good on a regular basis!

Cosmopolitan craftsman. Love that name. I'm watching the show right now as I'm writing this. Dude you rock. The look is so comfortable, and cozy. I like how the black lounger acted as a divider but yet it blends in with the whole room and style. LOVE IT.
- April 1, 2009 at 5:59 PM
I feel like your are better than the show. Sorry, but I do. I don't know if this is your idea or you produce it, but you should think about something that matches your aesthetic, personality and mind. My two cents.

Match Preview: Liverpool vs Everton
IT'S DERBY TIME! The Reds are coming off the back of a seriously impressive 7-0 win over Spartak Moscow in midweek, and are looking to continue a very impressive run of games undefeated against the Ev at Anfield, with the last time the Toffees getting all three points over our side of Stanley Park coming in 1999. With Sam Allardyce now in charge of a slightly resurgent Everton side, it'll be interesting to see how the first of at least three Merseyside derbies this season, pans out. Match-day 16? Into these.
Team News
Unfortunately, and if you told me that I'd be saying that this is unfortunate a year ago, I would have bitten your head off, Alberto Moreno is out of this weekend's game after being forced off with injury just before half-time in the victory on the weekend, and alongside the Spaniard, Joel Matip, Adam Bodgan, Nathaniel Clyne and Adam Lallana all remain out with injury, leaving Jurgen Klopp with a few decisions to make in terms of personnel. Moreno's injury comes at a horrible time for him, with such a busy schedule of games coming up for Liverpool over the next few weeks, he would have been involved in many of those fixtures and would've been given the chance to silence whatever remains of the people that doubt him.
Fortunately, Everton are swamped with injuries at the moment, with the list of players on the sidelines seemingly growing by the day. Maarten Stekelenburg, Ross Barkley, Leighton Baines, Ramiro Funes Mori, Seamus Coleman, Yannick Bolasie and James McCarthy are all out of contention for a starting spot in the derby, leaving the Bluenoses with little to no options in terms of capable starting options.
Starting XI
This is going to be an interesting one, with Jurgen Klopp fielding a full-strength side in the demolition of Spartak in midweek, will there be ample time to rest and recover for everyone in the squad before Sunday? My guess is yes. I personally think everyone will be up for the game and we'll see Jordan Henderson return to the starting line-up. There's also the decision to be made as to who replaces Moreno at left-back and as much as I would like it it to be Andy Robertson, I think Klopp will favour good ol' Jimmy Milner given the circumstances of the derby. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could push into the midfield should Liverpool rotate slightly, but I think Klopp knows how important a result is to Liverpool fans in this fixture. Mignolet will also rightly come back in for Karius, and I can see a similar look throughout the rest of the team, with Joe Gomez still not getting a chance at centre-half. Ugh.
Liverpool: Simon Mignolet; Joe Gomez, Ragnar Klavan, Dejan Lovren, James Milner; Jordan Henderson, Emre Can, Philippe Coutinho; Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah
Everton: Jordan Pickford; Jonjoe Kenny, Ashley Williams, Michael Keane, Cuco Martina; Idrissa Gueye, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Wayne Rooney, Tom Davies, Aaron Lennon; Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Key Players
Liverpool: Philippe Coutinho
Oh Phil, you aren't half determined to snake us. Looking for reassurances that he'll be able to join Barcelona in the summer, Philippe Coutinho will be absolutely instrumental in the way that the 'fab four' will function on Sunday, I just hope that his entire mind and soul is in the red jersey that he is wearing, and not just on trying to impress Barca. There's not much else to it, Coutinho is extremely important.
Everton: Wayne Rooney
From Everton, to Manchester United, back to Everton, Wayne Rooney's playing career is one that is inherently loathed amongst Liverpool fans and the reception for him will be nothing short of hostile when the Toffees visit Anfield. He is used to this kind of pressure though, and in the kind of form he's in, even scoring a hat-trick a couple weeks ago, he could be the difference for the Ev.
HOPEFULLY, I am right, but I am extremely, extremely confident heading into the game on Sunday. Everton have started to pick up some form and will come into the game on Sunday thinking that they can get some sort of result, but with Big Sam Allardyce in charge, I personally think that Everton will set-up extremely defensively to their detriment. I can see Liverpool getting another four here, with my head saying it'll finish 4-0 or 4-1. My heart? My heart says it'll finish 12-0 with Mane scoring a hat-trick and the rest of the fab four getting braces. Just imagine the scenes.

Emanuel Wajnblum
Title: My destiny - an autobiography
Author: Emanuel Wajnblum
Publisher: Self Published
Place of publication: Melbourne
Year of Publication: 1998
Location of Book: Makor Jewish Community Library, Melbourne Jewish Community Library, Melbourne
Cities/town/camps: Poland: Bedzin, Sakrau, Czechoslovakia: Karvina, Gleiwitz, Germany: Blechhammer, Grossrosen, Buchenwald, Switzerland: Berne
Note: those cities/towns/camps underlined are those which are most central to the narrative
My Destiny, a whole life autobiography of Emanuel Wajnblum, gives a detailed account of pre-war life in Poland, life under Nazi occupation and Wajnblum's subsequent years in Switzerland and Australia. 16 pages are dedicated to life in the Polish town of Bedzin, Wajnblum's home town, before the war. 77 pages describe Wajnblum's experiences in his hometown after the Nazi occupation began. The succeeding 64 pages depict life in various labour camps, culminating in the time Wajnblum spent in Blechhammer from September 1943 until January 1945. 40 pages describe the "death march" that took him to the Buchenwald concentration camp, and his time spent there. The final 153 pages tell of liberation from Buchenwald in April 1945, and the years after the war – at first in Switzerland and later, in Australia. My Destiny was published late in Wajnblum's life, in 1997.
Wajnblum was 13 years old when war broke out in September 1939. His family was in the woodworking business and his skills in that trade helped him to survive the war. Wajnblum's youth meant that he was not closely associated with any political party, but his father was a member of the religious-Zionist 'Mizrachi' movement. Bedzin, the town in which Wajnblum's family lived, was 80% Jewish. Relations with neighbouring non-Jews were relatively good, although anti-Semitic incidents grew in frequency in the lead-up to the war.
In the time between the start of the war in September 1939 and April 1943, the Jewish residents of Bedzin lived in terror under Nazi occupation. The factory owned by Wajnblum's father was requisitioned and came under the control of a Nazi treuhandler (trustee) by the name of Mr. Gosierowski. A Judenrat was appointed in the town and made responsible, together with the Nazi-appointed 'Jewish militia', for organising deportations of Jews to the concentration camps. Wajnblum states that he harbours no grudge against the Jewish militia, as he does not recall any of them committing wanton acts of cruelty. He does, however, criticise in strong terms the acts of the president of all district Judenrat, Mr Meryn. Wajnblum describes meetings called by Mr Meryn in which he convincingly and articulately portrayed himself as a saviour of the Jews of the area, whilst encouraging people to help him round up Jews for deportation. Mr Meryn himself was ultimately executed by the Nazis.
From April 1943 until liberation in April 1945, Wajnblum was incarcerated in a number of forced labour camps and concentration camps. Some of his experiences were more bearable than others, often depending upon the leadership within the camp, both Nazi and Jewish. In Karvina, Wajnblum came across one of the harshest of leaders, Salek Meller, the 'Jewish leader' of the camp. Wajnblum states that the cruelty of Meller outdid that of the SA commander of the camp. When an opportunity came to transfer, Wajnblum seized it and wound up in Blechhammer. There, Karl Demerer was head of the Jewish leadership, and he, according to Wajnblum, worked to protect his fellow inmates. On one occasion when Wajnblum was standing out of line, a German officer drew his gun. Dememer stepped in and took control, 'flogging' Wajnblum so that he wouldn't be shot. Wajnblum relates that he had to pretend to be in pain as in fact, Dememer was not flogging him properly. The evacuation of Blechhammer led to the 'death marches' of all inmates further into Germany. Wajnblum now found himself at Buchenwald, but after a relatively short period of time, Buchenwald was also evacuated, and mass executions took place. A kind Blockälster, a German political prisoner, allowed Wajnblum and several others to remain hidden in the camp until liberation.
On April 11, 1945, Buchenwald was liberated by the Americans. Soon after, inmates of the camp began looking for countries to take them in. This was hardest for the Jewish inmates; most others were repatriated to their countries of origin. Eventually, Wajnblum managed to get to Switzerland, where he began recuperating and rebuilding his physical and metal health. Wajnblum later made two return trips to Poland, in 1947 and 1948, to locate family members. His subsequent emigration to Australia in 1951 led Wajnblum to Melbourne where he has remained ever since.
Wajnblum's book is well written and comprehensive. He provides some historical background and context in certain parts of the book, but never too much, so the book's focus remains on his experiences. In some parts of the book, Wajnblum takes advantage of the fifty years of hindsight which he now has in order to analyse events and their significance. Professor Peter Baume accurately sums up in his comments to the book: "That you lived through this horror and that you have written so elegantly is a tribute to you many times over."

- 500 g of flour
- 90 ml of extra virgin olive oil
- 200 ml dry white wine
- 10 g salt
- 350 g of boiled spinach
- 350 g ricotta
- 1 egg
- 100 g of grated Parmesan
- Salt and pepper
- Bread crumbs
1. Place all dough ingredients in a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, knead until the dough is smooth and combined. Wrap in plastic while you make the filling.
2. To create the filling, mix the spinach with the ricotta.
3. Next, add your egg, Parmesan, and salt and pepper. Mix well. Set aside briefly.
4. Unwrap your dough from the plastic and divide it into two equal parts.
5. Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball to create two circles 30 cm in diameter each.
6. On your first circle, sprinkle breadcrumbs over-top to help absorb the moisture of the filling and to keep the dough dry.
7. Distribute the filling on the circle that was just sprinkled with breadcrumbs. Place one large dollop at the center of the circle, and spread the remainder in a ring around the dough. See the picture below for reference.
8. Sprinkle the filling with grated Parmesan.
9. Now, cover with the second circle of dough.
10. Seal the edges with your hands, and then use a fork to press.
11. Place a small bowl in the middle of the pie and press lightly to make an indentation. Use your fork to press lightly.
12. Cut the dough into pieces approximately 2 cm thick, keeping it attached at the center. See the photo for reference.
13. Twist each slice and continue until each slice is twisted.
14. Bake the spinach pie at 180°C for 30 minutes or until golden.

Just another Sunday, but on a Public Holiday Monday
Oh dear, I am off track before I have even started. In my new street directory I was looking at the suburb of Tullamarine. You wonder why? So do I. However I noticed a green bit on the far northern side of the airport. 'Lookout' grabbed my attention. 'Homestead ruins' grabbed my attention. 'Existing homestead' grabbed my attention. 'Aboriginal cemetery with permission only', grabbed my attention. 'Mickleham Road' grabbed my attention. That is where the tabloid named 'Mum in the boot' murder case happened.
R had recovered from his overindulgence in nuts by the last day of my time off, so we headed off on the mega pay road towards Tullumarine. Oh look, I said to R, that sign is confusing as it looks like that is the exit you need to take to go on the Tullamarine Freeway. Oh look, I said to myself, this is the exit I need to take to get on the Tullamarine Freeway, as I swung the car left. No motorists were injured or inconvenienced during this manoeuvre.
Exit, Mickelham Road. Petrol stations, fast food, a large truck behind me. I pulled over, not for petrol or fast food, but just get rid of the large truck.
I had printed into my brain a mental map of what I had seen of the area. What a shame I did not print out a map. With more arse than class, I found a road in towards where we wanted to go. Gate, as I knew. We walked a track. We were verboten to go off track to the left as that was the Aboriginal Cemetery. To our right was a fenced area, a native animal protection area. As I informed R about the native animal area to our right, I looked left to the cemetery and saw a mob of kangaroos, eastern greys. I walked towards the fence to get a bit closer for a photo and R warned me, don't get too close, they might attack you. Let me tell you, if a kangaroo attacks you, you will be on the losing end. It has happened, but it is very rare that they attack. Mostly they remain alert to humans, but in a disinterested manner.
We climbed a steep hill in the open bush and passed a couple of buildings. It was weird, because instead of hearing the sounds of the forest, all we could hear were the planes taking off or landing at the airport. We even saw them from a distance.
Not too far away we could see the Melbourne Airport Radar Tower at the top of Gellibrand Hill, but no indication of a lookout. The lookout may well have been somewhere nearby but we couldn't find it. Bad signposting Parks Victoria. It was getting warm and we had walked enough.
I knew it might have been a bit difficult and I had a back up plan of driving directly to Woodlands homestead. We walked back along a slightly different route, along the the wild life enclosure fence. We saw no other wildlife. Kangaroos are good breeders in good times. There were twice as many in the cemetery as when we arrived. Fast workers.
Do you know what Jumping Jacks are? They are ants, larger than our common imported ants and they bite, nastily. There are one hundred and twenty one gazillion jumping jack ants in this park. I earned bad karma by stepping on some. It was unavoidable.
Back at the car, we drove along a gravel road and spoiled R's nice clean car. We turned onto what I now know is Somerton Road and saw a sign to Woodlands Homestead and turned off. There were tracks here to get to Woodlands, but we wanted a road. The area seemed to mostly a rendezvous place for men who had kiddie seats mounted on their back seats. Silly me, it took R to point out the bleeding obvious. Don't worry wives, it is just a passing phase. Don't ask, don't tell.
Map R? Yes he said. Right, now we know where we need to go. Left into Oaklands Road and there will be a driveway to the homestead. The rest another day.
You can just see a plane at the airport in the distance.
Eastern grey kangaroos blend into the dry Victorian forest very well. There were twice this number lazing about when we returned from our walk.

Mickleham Rd would have to be one of the ugliest stretches on our patch.ReplyDelete
OTOH Woodlands Homestead is lovely - I maybe prejudiced as it is part of Living Legends where our horse mad g'daughter had her (I think) 4th or 5th birthday party.
It took me a while to spot those roos. The most camouflaged animals we get round here are sheep...and they're obvious from about four miles away. Unless, of course, I just haven't spotted the others.ReplyDelete
I give the big male kangaroo a wide berth when I see him - he doesn't even budge if he sees me outside just sits and props as if daring me - the others just hop away...I think I have those same ants here - they run in a jerky sort of way and have a really nasty biteReplyDelete
Jumping Jacks reside on sandy tracks we tend to bushwalk in Dunolly.ReplyDelete
Or they ambush us.
I don't think I've seen you use the word 'gazillion' before, Andrew! :)
Must drag the feral kidlet out there, very slack of me.
I've only seen kangaroos attack for food ie you've got some, but you're not giving it to them!!ReplyDelete
The jury's out as to whether your description of the places visited makes them more or less appealing!!
OTOH, emus will attack just because they're ornery buggers.ReplyDelete
I really didn't take much notice of the road LS. It appeared to be 'functional'. Woodlands and gee gees coming up soon.ReplyDelete
Brian, we saw lots of gravity defying sheep on hills when we drove along the M6.
An old man 'roo MC. I think jumping jacks are pretty widespread.
Jayne, is gazillion your word? I know you use it but I didn't realise you invented. Macquarie dictionary take note.
Red, there was one case here where a jogger was attacked and he didn't have food, but yes, the other cases I know of were about food.
I am a bit wary of emus LS. Do they really attack?
Them gravity defying sheep were probably clouds.
I've been to the top of that hill.ReplyDelete
Before you get to the radar, you have to go through a gate, find the gate and go through it and follow that track past the radar. There's no lookout really, just a clearing and luckily some large rocks to stand on. There may be a trig point as well, I can't recall.
From memory my mate and I didn't follow the path. Can't recall why, we just followed the fencline up the hill until we came to that gate and from there followed the track to the top. The kangaroos were giving us the evil eye as well.
Thanks Ben. I saw the gate, but we were ****ed by then and it was pretty warm.ReplyDelete

Day 11 of Bluesfest was without doubt electro-fied with a lineup that included the Full Flex Express Tour featuring Tokimonsta, Koan Sound, Grimes, Diplo, Pretty Lights and Skrillex. Ironically though, the latter artists performed on the Main Stage as opposed to the Electro Stage where Tyga of all people was performing.
We started Day 11 by seeing Diplo on the Main Stage. The founder and producer of Mad Decent Records played everything from the Major Lazer project to his latest single Express Yourself. It goes without saying that the electro DJ from Philadelphia made the crowd dance despite the blazing heat. Diplo represented Ottawa by wearing an ATCR Electric Pow Wow t-shirt to my greatest delight! The highlight of Diplo's set was definitely when he surfed over the crowd aboard a transparent inflatable hamster ball. Now that's what you call crowd-interaction!
After Diplo's set, we made our way towards the Electro Stage to catch YMCMB rapper Tyga. The american artist of Vietnamese and Jamaican descent performed tracks from his two studio albums in front of an impressive crowd of festival-goers. We stuck around until he delivered his popular 'Rack City' track after which we returned to the Main Stage for the end of Pretty Lights, an American electronic music artist.
At 9:35 pm, as we waited for Skrillex to start, a countdown appeared on the screen behind the stage indicating that the dubstep artist was coming on in 5 minutes. The huge crowd that had gathered in front of the Main Stage for the final performance of the night counted down the last 10 seconds that kicked off Skrillex's set. Skrillex didn't waist anytime as he delivered track after track of hits from Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites to My Name is Skrillex without forgetting Promises, Bangerang and Cinema which he ended the night with. The impressive stage set-up and visuals included pyrotechnics, pressurized smoke canons, colourful light lasers and a moveable platform on which he mixed from that reminded me of a spacecraft. On his Twitter account this morning, Skrillex posted "Ottawa last night could go down in my top 5 crowds ever…so amazing thanks to all you comin out!" And we thank you Skrillex for making us dance our asses off!!
Keep it locked for a review of Day 12, the final day of Bluesfest, which featured K'Naan, The Weeknd and Metric!!

The CW jumped out in front of the other networks yesterday, announcing the renewal of six of their series: Gossip Girl, Supernatural, One Tree Hill, 90210, Smallville and America's Next Top Model. ANTM is so favored that it's been greenlit for an additional two seasons, er, cycles.
CW boss Dawn Ostroff released a statement saying: "As we continue to build The CW Network as a destination for young women, these six shows have clearly contributed to strengthening our schedule … by securing these signature hits for next season, we're furthering our commitment to deliver high-quality, original programming to our viewers, advertisers and affiliates."
I love that while every other network panders to the male 18-49 demographic, Ostroff just comes right out and says the CW is the place for teenage girls. I mean, I watch Gossip Girl every week. I'm not judging, I'm just sayin'.
Gossip Girl and ANTM were pretty sure bets. They are the CW brand at this point. One Tree Hill and Smallville were stuck in contract negotiations, presumably because Smallville blows and Chad Michael Murray has run out of women to marry on the One Tree Hill set.
Chances for a second season of Privileged are slim, but the freshman show is not as doomed as the bomb Reaper.
I'm glad Gossip Girl is coming back, because if it got canceled I'd probably cry, and then when people asked why I was crying I'd have to say, "Gossip Girl," and that's when you lose all your friends.
Are you happy to hear about the early-renewals? What do you want to see happen on your favorite CW shows next season?

Traumatic stress linked to biological indicator
Science Those with higher cortisol levels had stronger reactions
Researchers are getting closer to being able to predict who might be more vulnerable to stress even before they experience trauma.
A study of Bay Area and New York police academy recruits by researchers at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center, UCSF and New York University is considered one of the first and largest studies to look at biological stress indicators before and after traumatic events.
"This study is unique because it looks at people before they've actually been exposed to trauma," said lead author Sabra Inslicht, a psychologist at the San Francisco VA Medical Center and an assistant professor of psychiatry at UCSF.
Nearly 300 academy recruits took samples of the waking levels of a stress hormone called cortisol. The results, published in last month's issue of the journal Biological Psychiatry, found that recruits with higher cortisol levels shortly after waking up in the morning were most likely to have stressful reactions to trauma years later as police officers.
The new study is part of a larger body of research involving hundreds of recruits from the San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and New York police departments that has been going on for seven years, said Dr. Charles Marmar, who spent 30 years at UCSF before taking over as chairman of the department of psychiatry at NYU's Langone Medical Center.
"The basic question is, why is the majority of men and women serving in law enforcement able to withstand repeated exposure to threatening circumstances ... but a minority are somewhat more vulnerable?" said Marmar.
The recruits had already passed their police departments' extensive screening process, so researchers considered them capable of tolerating fairly high levels of stress.
Academy recruits who agreed to participate provided cortisol levels through saliva samples taken immediately after waking up and then again after 30 minutes. Those samples were then compared with those taken a year, two years and then three years after they began active service.
Researchers kept the recruits' participation in the study in strict confidence. Their police supervisors did not even know they were participating, yet alone learn any individual results.
The study found that recruits with a higher "cortisol awakening response" - or a higher level of cortisol after waking up - tended to have stronger reactions to stress shortly after a traumatic event. The reactions - including intrusive memories, increased heart rate and breathing as well as conscious avoidance of the event - are all symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, except in a shorter time frame.
"What this study has shown is one particular marker of the stress response system was associated with how a police officer responded at the time of critical exposure," Inslicht said.
The investigators said similar research could be applied to military recruits and war veterans as well as the civilian population. They said the information is not intended to be used to prevent or discourage people from serving in law enforcement.
"The goal of our work is to provide as much information as possible to law enforcement to protect and manage their precious human resources," Marmar said.
Marmar said the information could be used to help detect, prevent and treat stress disorders. "There are different levels of resilience and vulnerability. People could be matched to roles in law enforcement that play to their strengths," he said.
The study was funded by the National Institute of Mental Health and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Norwalk Heating Repair & Installation
Heating Unit Repair & Installation in Stamford, Fairfield & Westchester Counties
When the temperature outside starts to drop, you're definitely going to want to have a reliable heating system installed in your home. Otherwise, you may find yourself bundled up just to stay comfortable in your own house.
If you need help keeping your home warm, count on T&H Mechanical Systems. Whether you need a heating system installed, repaired, maintained, or replaced, we can help you out. We'll make sure that your home stays cozy all winter long.
Contact us today by calling 203-644-1098. We look forward to scheduling your appointment for heating services.
Which Heating System Is Right for You?
There are a great many home heating options available on the market right now. If you're just getting into the heating market, the sheer number of different systems you could use can be very overwhelming.
Fortunately, you don't have to deal with this question on your own. Our Norwalk CT heating repair technicians are NATE-certified & know which systems work best in each situation.
We can help you install:
- Boilers: Boiler systems don't use air to transport heat – instead, they heat and transport water through a pipe network installed in the walls and floors of the house. Heat rises up through these pipes and into the rooms in a process called "radiant heating."
- Ductless heating: Ductless heating systems avoid ducts in favor of individual air handlers installed in rooms throughout the house. Each air handler has its own thermostat, which allows it to operate independently of the rest of the system. Ductless heat units are quite energy efficient, as they don't burn fuel to generate heat. Instead, they use refrigerant to move preexisting heat from one place to the other.
- Furnaces: Perhaps the most popular home heating system type in the country, furnaces have been around for quite a long time. Whether gas or electric, furnaces remain some of the most affordable and reliable home heating systems available.
- Heat pumps: Heat pumps are more similar to air conditioners than heating units in terms of construction. Instead of burning fuel for heat, they absorb heat from one area and release it into another. The difference between a heat pump and an air conditioner is that a heat pump can operate in both directions, allowing it to act as either a heating or air conditioning system.
- Thermostats: Even the best heating system in the world is useless without a thermostat to control it. Thermostats are the control center of climate control systems and you're going to want to have a high-quality one working for you.
- Zone control systems: A zone control system is designed to split the home's ducts into a series of zones, each of which is controlled by its own thermostat. This allows the zone control system to direct the flow of air through the house. With a zone control system, you can have a much greater degree of control over your indoor.
When you hire T&H Mechanical Systems, we'll walk you through the entire process from evaluation to selection to installation. Our Norwalk, CT Heating Repair & installation technicians will make sure that you get the perfect system for your needs.
Have You Considered a Ductless Heating System
If you're looking for a new home heating system for this winter, don't be fooled into thinking that centralized heat is your only solution. Ductless heating may be a relatively new heating technology for residential properties, but it's already gaining quite a bit of popularity for its many advantages.
A ductless heating system is rather unusual, especially for a heater. It is comprised of at least two units, one installed in a room of the home and one installed outside. Up to 4 indoor units can be connected to one outdoor unit. When in heating mode, the outdoor unit will siphon thermal energy from the surrounding air and send it to the indoor units. The indoor units will then release the thermal energy into their respective rooms. Each indoor unit also has its own thermostat, which allows it to operate independently of the rest of the system. Ductless heating systems are also able to reverse their refrigerant flows, allowing them to act as air conditioning systems as well.
What Are The Advantages of a Ductless?
Many homeowners are not entirely familiar with the ductless heating system and may be wondering why this type of heat unit could be right for them.
Ductless systems:
- Are more energy efficient than other traditional heating systems
- Can serve as both a heating and cooling system
- Allow you to control the climate in each individual room
With ductless heating, you can ensure that each room gets exactly the right level of output without wasting energy heating a room that is not in use. These systems can save you a lot of money over time.
Installations, Repairs, & Maintenance Services
Installing a ductless heating system is more difficult than other heating systems. This is because most homes are built to handle centralized forced-air systems. You're likely going to need a bit of construction work done when you have your ductless heating system installed, but it is very minimal. We can handle all of your ductless heating installation for you.
Ductless heating systems also require the occasional repair and should be properly maintained throughout the year. If your system is in need of repairs, we can be there right away to take care of it for you. You can also join our maintenance program to benefit from routine maintenance services – this will ensure that your system remains in prime condition all year long.
Why You Need Professional Heating Services
Though some home projects can be classified as "do it yourself," heating systems remain firmly in the "professionals only" category. Installing a heating system often means dealing with a number of different infrastructures, including gas and electrical lines. That kind of work can be incredibly unsafe unless handled by someone with professional experience. The same goes for repair and maintenance work.
If you need our Norwalk, CT heating repair or heating services of any kind in your home, it's best to let our heating unit repair technicians handle it for you. Our crew will make sure that everything is handled safely and correctly.
Give us a call at 203-644-1098 or use our contact online form today. We look forward to assisting you with your heating repair needs in Norwalk!

Let's simply state the apparent answer: Home Enchancment will not be an important show. Gulfport Home Enchancment is totally lined for both liability insurance and in addition workmans compensation. Gulfport Dwelling Enchancment is totally covered for each legal responsibility insurance coverage in addition to workmans compensation. Perhaps most crucially, Dwelling Enchancment has not been afforded the faintly damning courtesy of changing into retro kitsch. With that stated, most online stores do have each single part you could want, as a result of they generally have a much bigger storage facility. Subsequently, the producers got down to forged an alternate character that may stand in as Tim's co-host for the pilot, or for however many episodes have been required till Tobolowsky was accessible. This shows the kitchen home taken from behind the home, beneath the black gum.
The largest and costliest instruments don't make your success thrive – dedication, precision and adequate instruments do. Studying the way to purchase house enchancment tools is a crucial. That includes both entry-stage and high-end products, Seconds and Surplus is nicely price a visit for even the most mundane home enchancment items (like replacing your bathroom roll holder), and there is no telling what you can see. Be sure your remodeling contractor has the expertise you need on your dwelling improvement project. He was despatched to traffic school as a result, the place he met an agent who informed him about Residence Improvement.
To be included in the calculations, Notes should be related to a borrower loan originated greater than 10 months ago; this calculation makes use of loans originated by means of Could 31, 2012.

Their reconciliation ended an extended-running feud that erupted over Thomas' resolution to go away House Enchancment in its eighth season and focus on attending school, even declining to look in its series finale. Because of this uncertainty, our forecasts point out that growth rates will fall from 2016 onwards.
Since many house improvement merchandise are imported, a weak pound is more likely to drive up costs of commodities from abroad and may impact on suppliers and retailers' margins. Hopefully you should utilize a few of these ideas to maintain from becoming bored and make the time go shortly and enjoy your self till you are back on your toes, or maybe even cross some issues off of that things you need to get around to someday record.

The Weir's Furnishings chain has each common shops and outlet stores; typically the common retailer and the outlet retailer are housed collectively in the same constructing.
Beneath I take all the work out of finding one of the best worth for each of those new presents by doing a pricing comparability from all the major home improvement department shops. There are such a lot of choices to select from, each online and in retail dwelling improvement shops. The house improvement items which have lasting worth really appeal to me (and hopefully to my checkbook down the highway).

Gulfport Dwelling Improvement genuinely believes that house restore and renovation is each a craft along with an art.

Renowned Heath Quartet Plays at the Mahaney Center for the Arts October 27
October 12, 2017
Program to Include Haydn, Tippett, Bach, and Mendelssohn
Middlebury, VT—Returning to Middlebury with a new Gramophone award and second violinist in tow, the extraordinary Heath Quartet will treat audiences to a rich, mixed repertoire program including works by Haydn, Tippett, Bach, and Mendelssohn on Friday, October 27 at 8:00 P.M.
The U.K.-based ensemble was the Middlebury Performing Arts Series' first quartet in residence in 2016, spending a month on campus to give performances, master classes, and school visits. They quickly became favorites of local audiences. "It's always a tremendous opportunity when a series or community gets to form lasting relationships with artists and ensembles," said Performing Arts Series Director Allison Coyne Carroll. "The quartet left quite an indelible impression on our community."
This time around, the quartet will perform Joseph Haydn's Quartet in D Minor, Op. 76, No. 2; 20th century composer Michael Tippett's String Quartet No. 2; selected chorale preludes of Johann Sebastian Bach; and Felix Mendelssohn's Quartet in F minor, Op. 80. Music Professor Larry Hamberlin will give a free pre-concert talk about the musical selections at 7:00 P.M.
The quartet's concert at Middlebury is part of the Nelson Chamber Music Series, and is made possible with generous support from Middlebury College President Emeritus Olin C. Robison.
About the Quartet
The dynamic and charismatic Heath Quartet (Oliver Heath, violin; Sara Wolstenholme, violin; Gary Pomeroy, viola; and Christopher Murray, cello) is one of the most exciting British chamber ensembles of the moment. Formed in 2002 at the Royal Northern College of Music, they were selected for representation by Young Classical Artists Trust. Among their many honors are a Borletti-Buitoni Special Ensemble Scholarship; the Ensemble Prize at the 2012 Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern; the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society's Young Artists Award in 2013; and most recently, a 2016 Gramophone Chamber Award for their recording of the complete string quartets of Sir Michael Tippett.
Following the Gramophone award on the Wigmore LIVE label, their next critically-acclaimed recording on the Harmonia Mundi label featured Tchaikovsky's first and third quartets, quickly followed by a live recording of the complete Bartók quartets. This CD has a special connection to Middlebury, as the quartet utilized part of their 2016 residency here to rehearse and perform the Bartók works before the live recording's release in May 2017.
The quartet has performed extensively in North America, including their New York debut at Carnegie Hall, and subsequent concerts for Great Performers at Lincoln Center and the Phillips Collection. They have also appeared at many of the world's most prestigious venues and festivals, such as the BBC Proms, Beethovenfest Bonn, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Konzerthaus Berlin, Paris' Musée d'Orsay and Louvre Auditorium, the Barbican, Queen's Hall Edinburgh, Vara Konserthus in Sweden, Esterházy Palace, and the Musikverein and Konzerthaus in Vienna.
Strong proponents of contemporary music, the quartet has worked with several leading composers including Hans Abrahamsen, Sofia Gubaidulina, and Steven Mackey.
The quartet members are Professors of Chamber Music at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, individually holding instrumental teaching posts in the faculty.
Performance Details
The Heath Quartet will perform on Friday, October 27, 2017 at 8:00 P.M. at the Kevin P. Mahaney '84 Center for the Arts' Robison Hall. The free pre-concert talk by Larry Hamberlin will begin at 7:00 P.M. in the Mahaney Center for the Arts, Room 221.The Mahaney Center is located at 72 Porter Field Road in Middlebury, just off Route 30 south, on the campus of Middlebury College. Free parking is available curbside on Route 30 or in the Center for the Arts parking lot, in rows marked faculty/staff/visitors. Tickets are $28 for adults; $22 for Middlebury College faculty, staff, emeriti, and alumni; and $6 for Middlebury College students, and are on sale at 802-443-MIDD (6433) or www.middlebury.edu/arts/tickets.

We live an a world of anonymity. We cultivate, curate and nurture our singularity and detachment. We build walls, physical, metaphorical and technological to avoid each other.
The way we move from place to place is impersonal and alienating. Even when we sit next to one another on the bus, train or tram, we politely ignore each other. We pass in the street like ghosts. Even our social media is fundamentally asocial.
But I've rediscovered a wonderful phenomenon that I observed a few years ago; the socialising effect of the traffic-free path.
My commute takes me along the Liverpool Loopline for much of the journey, a converted railway path, tree-lined and idyllic, cutting an arc through Liverpool's suburbs.
And moving along the path amid the morning birdsong, I make a point to say good morning, smile or otherwise acknowledge every person I pass. I nod to fellow cyclers, thank dog walkers who control their dogs when I pass. I even say hello to those who don't. Most nod, smile or say morning back.
I've made it my personal challenge to extract a 'morning' from the most morose of my regular fellow commuters- an earnest looking young man with glasses who really should be enjoying life's bounty more than he appears. He rides too fast, too seriously. He hasn't smiled, nodded or spoke yet but I have faith and pig-headedness on my side.
I've pondered many times why the Loopline and places like it have this fascinating socialising effect. Maybe it's the semi rural environment that brings out the human in humans, takes us back to a time when we acknowledged one another. Maybe it's the isolation of this 'urban lane' that makes people feel reliant on their temporary linear community. Maybe the human scale, human speed mode reconnects us with each other?
I thought it was a 'cyclist thing' but pedestrians, dog people and cyclists all exhibit the same elevated sense of social connection. Apart from Mr Surly with the glasses and the Strava obsession. You know who you are.
Has anyone else noticed this effect on their local cycle trail?

What Is Organic?
Organic food is food as it should be
All organic food is fully traceable from farm to fork, so you can be sure of what you're eating. The standards for organic food are laid down in European law so any food labelled as organic must meet strict rules. Unlike non-organic food production, which makes wide use of manufactured and mined fertilisers and pesticides, organic food is produced with natural fertilisers from plants, less energy and more respect for the animals that provide it.
Organic farming and food production is not easy and takes real commitment and attention to detail, and is backed up by rigorous, independent inspection and certification.
In the face of climate change, rising diet-related ill-health and widespread declines in our wildlife, the need to produce healthy food, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and protect wildlife grows more acute by the year. There is no magic bullet to tackle the challenges that face us, but the buying decisions we make every day are a simple but powerful form of direct action.
All organic farms and manufacturing companies are inspected at least once a year and the standards for organic food are laid down in European law. Getting organic certification isn't easy and when you buy an organic product you know what you're buying really is what it says on the tin.
