8.559028 - SOWERBY: Works for Organ and Orchestra
Leo Sowerby (1895-1968)
Leo Sowerby knew his life vocation prior to leaving elementary school. Born 1 May 1895, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, his first composition came two weeks after his tenth birthday. Both as composer and pianist, his talents quickly went beyond the Grand Rapids musical scene and at the age of fourteen, he was lodged in Chicago to continue his training. That city would be his home until six years prior to his death.
Before his nineteenth birthday his catalog numbered more than ninety works, including a Violin Concerto that had been premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Four years later the same orchestra gave an entire Sowerby concert. Another four years and the composer, now twenty-six years old was asked to be the first recipient of the American Rome Prize, a residency at the American Academy in Garibaldi's former headquarters atop Rome's highest hill. The award came not by competition, but simply on Sowerby's reputation as America's best young composer.
Meanwhile the organ had replaced the piano as Sowerby's chosen instrument. Though he had but five lessons, he became one of the finest church and recital organists of his time. His legacy of nearly eighty compositions for the instrument, including the monumental Symphony in G major (1930-31) is a corpus unequalled in quantity and quality by any composer since Bach. Among the organ works are six large-scale compositions with orchestra beginning with the Medieval Poem and concluding with the as-yet unperformed Second Organ Concerto, written in the final year of Sowerby's life.
Festival Musick and Classic Concerto were both written for E. Power Biggs, who had given the premiere of Sowerby's Organ Concerto in C major with the Boston Symphony in 1938. Festival Musick, written in a single week during the summer of 1953, was first heard on Riggs' weekly CBS radio broadcast from Harvard's Germanic Museum on 3 January 1954. The Classic Concerto had its premiere on the same program on 9 April 1944, having been written in the first three months of the year. In both instances the instrumentalists were from the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Richard Burgin conducted.
Festival Musick is in three movements: "Fanfare" begins with a pungently dissonant but effective brass flourish. The organ enters with a toccata-like figuration in the right hand over a strongly angular theme in the left hand and pedals. After a reception of both motifs in another key, the movement elaborates on this material, progressing in excitement and intensity to a bold conclusion. After the unrestrained exuberance (and volume) of the first movement, the quiet "Chorale" is an effective foil. It is in variation form and relies largely upon the organ and one of two of the brasses used intermittently for solo lines of great beauty. The idea for the final movement came from Biggs. The A.G.O. (American Guild of Organists) awards two degrees on the basis of examinations: Associate and Fellow (A.A.G.O.; F.A.G.O.). The three acronyms provide the major thematic content of a movement marked "With verve". While the A, G, and F are, of course, part of the musical scale, Sowerby's dual solution to the "O' is ingenious. To reveal it here, however, would spoil the composer's little joke, so it will be left to the listener.
If Festival Musick represents the composer at his brashest, Classic Concerto emphasizes his lifelong comfort in expressing his distinctive harmonic muse and free counterpoint with traditional formal structures. Its texture is also more transparent than earlier Sowerby scores. The three connected movements in "fast-slow-fast" relationship, the interplay between organ and strings, and the avoidance of lengthy introductions prior to the main thematic content of each movement are all reminiscent of the 17th and early 18th century concerto grosso. Finally, for a composer who was sometimes accused by others and himself of lacking brevity (like Cesar Franck, whom Sowerby greatly admired), the Classic Concerto is tightly compacted. Even the organ cadenza, here found in the third movement is telling in its succinctness.
Medieval Poem was sketched 9-19 January 1926, with the score completed the following month. The first performance was a concert of works for organ and orchestra, sponsored by the Illinois Council of the National Association of Organists, and given in Chicago's Kimball Hall on 20 April 1926. Rollo Maitland was the organist, with an orchestra comprised of first-chair players from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by its associate conductor, Eric DeLamarter. The inspiration for the work was a text from the ancient Liturgy of St. James, "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence". In the 1926 program notes, Sowerby wrote that he "Has endeavored to interpret the atmosphere of mystery which pervade the poem by translating into tone something of the vision of the heavenly pageant which St. James or any devout soul might have imagined". The day before the composer set to work on Medieval Poem, he had received a warm letter of appreciation from the Rector of St. James Episcopal Church in Chicago, where he had filled in as organist-choirmaster during a six-week emergency, so the choice of text can hardly have been coincidence. The same rector would hire Sowerby on the composer's thirty-second birthday, 1 May 1927, as permanent organist-choirmaster at St. James' Church, beginning a thirty-five-year career there.
The musical form of Medieval Poem is a rhapsodically free set of variations on an original chorale theme. That theme, however, first appears in unadorned form in the organ near the end of the piece, later echoed by a wordless vocal line off-stage. Thus the form is reminiscent of Vincent d'Indy's Istar Variations, in which the theme appears only after its variations. Sowerby greatly admired d'Indy, and in 1918 had expressed a desire to study with the French master. It is likely then, that the formal similarity is not accidental. Medieval Poem is dedicated to Howard Hanson, Sowerby's compatriot for three years at the American Academy in Rome and subsequent head of the Eastman School of Music for many years. With the composer at the organ and Hanson conducting, Medieval Poem was heard on three occasions at Eastman. The last time, in 1934, was shortly after Sowerby had received an honorary D. Mus. degree from that institution.
Pageant was written 30 May 1931, at the request of Fernando Germani, organist of the Vatican. Germani had played Sowerby's MedievaI Poem on his first concert in the United States, under the composer's baton. The Italian possessed a phenomenal pedal technique, and Sowerby's Pageant was very obviously intended as a direct challenge. In form it is a set of ingenious variations on a rather perfunctory theme, presented after a bravura introduction for pedals alone. Germani's response after receiving the score is legendary: "Now write for me something difficult!" Leo Sowerby died in Port Clinton, Ohio on 7 July 1968, while serving on the faculty of an Episcopal choir camp. He is interned in Washington Cathedral, leaving a legacy that has been described as "two lifetimes of music" - more than 550 scores for every musical medium except opera and ballet.

Emerging Opportunities in the Alternative Credit Space (EZPW, ATLC, FCFS)
One of the hottest growth ideas for the second half of 2018 may be the alternative credit space, according to experts and analysts. The big banks are only getting part of the market, and don't have the protocols or regulatory flexibility to get the other pieces of the pie.
With the economy continuing to perform, default rates are falling and profit margins are skyrocketing for those servicing the underserved segments. That has stocks in the space heating up, but there are still some powerful opportunities.
We are going to look at a few such names today, including EZCORP Inc (NASDAQ: EZPW), Atlanticus Holdings Corp (NASDAQ: ATLC), and FirstCash Inc (NYSE: FCFS).
EZCORP Inc (NASDAQ: EZPW) provides pawn loans. The company operates through three segments: U.S. Pawn, Mexico Pawn, and Other International. It offers pawn loans, which are non-recourse loans collateralized by tangible personal property, such as jewelry, consumer electronics, power tools, sporting goods, and musical instruments; and sells merchandise, including collateral forfeited from pawn lending operations and used merchandise purchased from customers.
The company also offers payday loan services through its financial services stores.
As of June 11, 2018, it operated a network of 921 pawn stores under the EZPAWN or Value Pawn & Jewelry, Empeño Fácil, GuatePrenda, and MaxiEfectivo names in the United States and Latin America. The company also operates a network of 27 financial services stores under the CASHMAX name in Canada. EZCORP, Inc. was founded in 1989 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas.
Shares of EZPW have been drifting lower for most of 2018. But this action is a corrective move in the context of a larger upward trend in place for most of the past 30 months, during which time, the stock has powered over 500% higher. Technically, the chart just presented a technical configuration known as a "death cross", which features a crossing of the 50-day SMA below the 200-day SMA on the daily chart.
After such a big run, this may be a stock that needs more time to consolidate. But the next stock, below, may just be warming up for its own run.
Atlanticus Holdings Corp (NASDAQ: ATLC) bills itself as a company that provides credit and related financial services and products to financially underserved consumer credit market in the United States. It operates in two segments, Credit and Other Investments, and Auto Finance.
The balance sheet is in good shape, with more cash than debt. And revenues are growing strong. To wit: ATLC is pulling in trailing 12-month revenues of $157M with major top-line growth (y/y quarterly revenues growing at 51.2%).
In addition, the compan recently announced a jump to net income profitability as well as new access to a massive credit facility capable of powering nearly $200 million in expanded investment.
In terms of segmentation, the company's Credit and Other Investments segment originates a range of consumer loan products, such as retail credit, personal loans, and credit cards through various channels, including retail point-of-sale, direct mail solicitation, Internet-based marketing, and partnerships with third parties; and offers point-of-sale financing by partnering with retailers and service providers to provide credit to their customers for the purchase of various goods and services.
This segment also invests in and services portfolios of credit card receivables. In addition, this segment offers loan servicing, such as risk management and customer service outsourcing for third parties; and engages in testing and investment activities in consumer finance technology platforms.
The Auto Finance segment purchases and/or services loans secured by automobiles from or for a pre-qualified network of independent automotive dealers and automotive finance companies in the buy-here, pay-here, and used car business. This segment also provides floor plan financing and installment lending products.
Technically, the stock looks cheap on a price-per-share basis. And the float is tiny, with just 4.7 million shares rattling around on the public market. Volume has been increasing, leading to the potential for a squeeze to the upside now that the stock has held key support at the $1.60 level for the second time this year.
FirstCash Inc (NYSE: FCFS) operates retail-based pawn and consumer finance stores in the United States and Mexico. Its pawn stores lend money on the collateral of pledged personal property, including consumer electronics, jewelry, power tools, household appliances, sporting goods, and musical instruments; and retails previously owned merchandise acquired through pawn forfeitures, as well as through purchases from the general public.
The company also engages in melting scrap jewelry, as well as sells the gold, silver, and diamonds in commodity markets. Its consumer finance stores provide small unsecured consumer loans, credit services, and check cashing services. As of December 31, 2017, the company owned and operated 2,039 pawn stores and 72 consumer loan stores in 26 states of the United States and 32 states of Mexico, as well as Guatemala and El Salvador.
The company was formerly known as First Cash Financial Services, Inc. and changed its name to FirstCash, Inc. in September 2016. FirstCash, Inc. was founded in 1988 and is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.
Shares of FCFS have been ripping higher over the past two years, rising by over 100% in that time. However, the stock was chopped down in July and is now walking along support at its 200-day simple moving average around the $80/share level. While pullbacks are a tasty idea, the stock is still up a ton over the past 24 months, and the 50-day SMA is now downward sloped for the first time in a long time.

Online dating is a very funny thing… meant obviously in the fact it is highly amusing, but also for the fact you simply cannot grasp any logic behind anything about it!
Lack of conversation and you have sealed your fate of the delete and block functions, show some originality though and you can guarantee interest and intrigue.
I do have a few fail safe questions that I like to ask potential suitors, generally along the lines of thinking questions to keep the conversation running smoothly… it is also a crafty way to find out someone's worth and their character.
So when I was posed with the question 'what couldn't I live without if I moved to the middle of nowhere?' for a #IWouldMiss campaign, I was utterly stumped! To the point that I had to ask the question to a friend for her to give me inspiration. It really is such a fantastic thinking question to ask and there really is no end to the list of possible answers to this question… as you can see!
We deliberated over whether the middle of nowhere meant a being deserted on a tropical desert island, if so then it really did determine what we would miss! My friend decided that no matter where she was, she would miss: lip balm; something to compile lists on as she is a total planner; a phone to contact friends and family whilst still having to play games; glasses so that she could then see and a toothbrush, as in her words 'no-one wants manky teeth!'. We were also assuming that our families were with us.
My list included items such as my phone, as this would ensure contact was always made with the outside world! Being slightly more practical, I would miss utilities such as water, electric and gas – all the things we take for granted on a daily basis. I'm sure a gas tank could be easily be shipped to me though, LPG prices are slightly more competitive than the more common energy suppliers too. There may actually be some advantages to living in the middle of nowhere!
However, I would miss the hustle and bustle of life in general most of all. I do love having people around me and the convenience of nipping to the local shop if I am running low on milk.
It's a great question to get the creative juices flowing and one I shall definitely be using if the need arises in the future! 😉

Author: youcantseeus, firstname.lastname@example.com
Characters: Tyson, Seel, Swift
Word Count: 3,589
Spoilers: Books 1 and 2.
Summary: Tyson finds himself wanting Seel as his first aruna partner. But he hates Seel! Tyson/Seel.
AN: I wanted to try writing this pairing for some reason. I love feedback.
Tyson stormed down the hallway and threw open the door to Seel's study.
"I hate you!" he exclaimed before Seel even had time to look up from his papers. "I hate you!"
Seel put down his pen and gave a wry half smile. "What for this time, Tyson?"
Tyson seethed. He didn't know how to explain all the churned up things inside of him – anger, lust, bewilderment, resentment. Feybraiha was a tumultuous time for any young har and Tyson's celebration was only a day away. Perhaps, after it was over, he'd feel better. But every time he thought of it, he felt a sense of dread and a nagging in the back of his mind. He'd only recently figured out what that nagging feeling was about. He wasn't scared of aruna – in fact, from the descriptions, he found himself quite excited by the idea. But the feeling that his feybraiha was going all wrong just wouldn't go away.
Tyson felt tears sting his eyes. He realized that he was going to cry like a tiny harling in front of Seel, of all people, when he was supposed to be a day away from adulthood. It was too much to stand. "You've done something to me," he said. "It is supposed to be Rin; not you, never you. Rin has been chosen for me and everything has been arranged – and then you slink into my head and you won't leave me alone. I don't want you. I don't!"
Seel seemed fairly surprised, but he merely sipped at his coffee. The morning sunlight streamed in through the window and gleamed off his tawny hair. "I see," he said at last.

There's no doubt it was a success, attracting 2 million users, many successful marriages, and making an exit worth $180 million. But Croxon realizes that if he tried to run a startup founded in 2017 in the same way, it'd only lead to heartache and debt."It was on-premises, fairly static technology that wasn't going to change a lot," he reflects. "The whole machine ground to a halt when it required a rapid response."Aside from the technology, Lavalife was a siloed company, Croxon says. There was a CTO and a CMO, but the technology division and the marketing division both wrestled for control. There were separate project lists and the managers from different departments only met every six months to sort out the issues."I'd go back and change it so the tech people and the business people were sitting side by side," he says. "I'd have them collaborate a lot more than they did. That's the downside of not having the CIO role of the future where they're the glue between those two parts of the organization."That's the vision of the CIO role that Croxon will discuss when he gives his keynote speech at the CIO Peer Forum in Edmonton on April 26. The event, hosted by the CIO Association of Canada (CIOCAN), is themed around creating the digital business and driving continuous innovation.Croxon jokes that while he's spent his career as a tech entrepreneur, he's still treated with scorn by technically skilled executives for not having "full depth" on the details of IT. But where Croxon does have depth is in understanding the business landscape we're in today. He's one of the founding members of Round13 Capital, and has been involved with mentoring startups for more than 20 years. Related 7 lessons from Bruce Croxon, social networking pioneer and tech investor From the perspective of a business investor, Croxon says the role of the CIO is becoming more important. For example, the CIO can play a role on the impact of incorporating artificial intelligence into a business service, or harness is to improve internal processes. That can lead to trimming of operational expenditures and just running a company more efficiently."The role of the CIO is increasingly vital," he says. "Effective use of AI in B2B offerings are taking incredible inefficiencies out of what you'd have to pay for in the past."The modern CIO must also juggle business challenges with their implementation of cutting-edge AI though, and that includes working to create company culture through activities like hiring."The days of hiring people that are uncomfortable with change, that are locked into a way of doing things, are over," he says.In Croxon's mind, working closely with the business side of things isn't some ambiguous directive for CIOs. It's specifically about improving sales and marketing activities for the company. Data should be collected and harnessed to help answer questions about how to attract and retain customers at an acceptable price versus what they're worth to the company. The conversion of customers has to be integrated with technology."The tools available to figure out the gap between what a customer costs and what a customer is worth are now available to even small businesses," he says. "It's the CIO's job to figure that out."Those tools weren't available in the days Croxon was running Lavalife. The cost and complexity of technology was a barrier to entry for his company, and therefore also a deterrent for competition to get into the same business."Technology kept people out of the market, it afforded us the time to make mistakes, to be cumbersome, and to not have a CIO," he said. "We didn't have to act quickly on a response because no one else could either."That luxury just doesn't exist in 2017.

In recent years I've largely been disappointed by animated movies. Even Pixar's Cars couldn't draw me to the theatre. Finally Wall-E opens this summer, but before that, a surprise. And a surprise worth everyone's 14 dollars. Kung-Fu Panda does what other animated films now forget to do. It tells it's story without choosing a different aspect of pop culture to reference every 5 lines (even the puns that litter other movie posters were thankfully lacking during the marketing campaign, as were the annoying references to all the starts that lent their voices…who cares???), but the film also takes full advantage of the fact that…it's…animated.
Drawing loads of inspiration from the Chinese Fantasy Martial Arts films in which Kung-Fu masters fight on mountain tops and forests; these animals balance, jump, dive, fly, roll and hurtle through the air like pieces of paper in a tornado. It's beautiful and on occasions visually overwhelming in scope – almost scary. But never once is it not fun or thrilling. The first five minutes alone exceeds the level of visual/visceral film making and personality/humor than any other Dreamworks animated film I've ever seen (including Shrek — I enjoyed the second one a little…)

Puffin: NASA's Concept Vehicle
It seems that the days of climbing into an air vehicle and jetting down to the shops is getting closer. The jet pack may have paved the way for the latest concept vehicle released by NASA, known as the Puffin. Bridging the gap between conventional motor vehicles and personal air travel is becoming a reality and it might just be that Puffins are the new generation of transport for the public. But NASA has also made it very clear that it is developing the Puffin not as a future product but it is only a project to create a new technology.
The Puffin is a breakthrough in transportation, as NASA sees this aircraft to be the technology that will bridge the gap between today and the future. It has not achieved long flight as yet, as it is still in various stages of design and testing. The flight system that has been selected for the Puffin is very similar to what is found on the V-22 Osprey. Two rotors provide the Puffin with power to take to flight, and it has a wingspan of thirteen feet, or 4.1 meters. In total the Puffin weighs approximately a hundred and thirty five kilograms, without including the weight of its batteries. To reduce noise levels the aircraft was designed to be electric, and therefore has lithium phosphate batteries that are rechargeable and add an extra forty-five kilograms to the Puffin. Due to the Puffin lifting off and landing in the same way a helicopter would, it will be fitted with spring legs and it is believed that the aircraft will be able to reach speeds of approximately 140 miles per hour, or 240 kilometers per hour. As the Puffin is an electric aircraft, it is seen as an environmentally friendly aircraft, and engineers have managed to make the Puffin even quieter than the present day low-noise helicopters, emitting approximately fifty decibels.
It has been built to only accommodate one person. The Puffin prototype was designed and engineered by the National Institute of Aerospace, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, M-DOT Aerospace and the Georgia Institute of Technology. The Puffin is a step into a new direction, where technology, dreams and environmentally friendly alternatives can be explored.

(Shoutout to Ken Schaefer for becoming a patron! Thanks, Dad.)
It's been a topic of discussion recently that the games retail giant GameStop has teamed up with Insomniac games (the developer behind the popular Spyro The Dragon and Ratchet & Clank games) to develop Song of The Deep.
The trailer actually looks quite interesting. It's a 2-D sidescroller following a young woman named Merryn, who is the daughter of a fisherman. She had been entranced by his stories about the sea and the things he's seen in his travels. When he goes missing, she gets in a makeshift submarine to find him and embarks on some adventures of her own.
The art style of the game has a rather Miyazaki-esque quality to it, and it seems to borrow a lot from Irish mythology. Also, I'm always up for having more female game protagonists.
I'm not going to lie, though: GameStop's involvement in making the game kind of bothers me.
Some of GameStop's business practices have been somewhat…questionable. While I haven't really had a bad experience at either of the two local GameStop stores, there are some things about them that give me pause. While I've never really experienced a GameStop employee trying to push preorders on me, there are people who have had that experience (please keep in mind as well that this article is from 2012 and I didn't find anything about this newer; they may have changed their policies since then). There's also the fact that GameStop does buy used games and systems, but usually at a very small fraction of the price that the customer would have paid for it.
I think the main issue, though, is the idea of a large retailer getting involved with what I would consider to be an artistic project, not just sponsoring but actually participating in the publishing process, seems skeevy to me. This becoming the norm could have an effect on the creativity of games, with the retailer/publisher pushing the developer to make a game they think will sell well, regardless of the game that the developer wants to make. However, this also seems like something that's already happening in the AAA development space (*cough* EA *cough).
Then again, it's entirely possible that GameStop will have very little input into what actually goes into the game. The $14.99 price tag is certainly a plus, and the game still looks like it will be quite interesting.
I think the best approach to take at this time is to wait and see.

Battle lines are being drawn in San Francisco over when it is socially acceptable to don one's Google Glass—spectacles that provide the wearer with an audio/visual Internet connection and the ability to easily record images surreptitiously.
A couple of weeks after social media consultant Sarah Slocum triggered a brawl by refusing to remove her Glass in Molotov's, a punkish bar in the Haight, the owner of The Willows, a bar popular with tech folk, banned the $1,500 spectacles from the premises.
Patrons at both bars regarded filming or snapping them as a violation of their privacy, and Slocum blamed it on "some wanker Google Glass haters." During ensuing dialogue with critics on her Facebook page, Slocum said, "I was not recording anything until one of the girls turned around and flicked me off and started calling me names."
Punches were thrown and accusations of theft were made by Slocum—and disputed by reputed attendees. Slocum asserted that she had been the victim of a "hate crime."
Google Glass is a wearable computer device that allows hands-free access to information that is displayed on a lens strapped to the user's head. It lets users make phone calls, send emails, snap photos and perform tasks as yet unknown using voice-operated commands and hand movements. A skilled wearer can take pictures with the wink of an eye.
A wearer could conceivably wink at a subject and, using face recognition software and access to online databases, immediately stream reams of information about the subject across Glass. The possibilities are endless and, for some, unsettling.
Tensions over Glass have been building since its introduction in 2012. In addition to real-time privacy concerns, there are questions about where all this data streaming through a single source—Google—might eventually end up. Despite assurances that information will remain private to the user, the government has its ways and this is the company that combs through Gmail to sell ads.
Right now, there isn't much Glass on the street. It is still a bit of an expensive experiment. In San Francisco, where an influx of young tech workers has driven income inequality and changed the face of the city, wearing a computer on yours can engender some degree of hostility.
Some Glass aficionados say once the technology is cheaper and more available, people won't care who wears it or where. Its rough initial acceptance has been compared to the introduction of Walkman headphones and cellphones, where social conventions clashed with the new behavior.
But even Google knows that Glass is something different. It warns in a memo to Glass Explorers that they shouldn't be "creepy or rude (aka a 'Glasshole')". It cautions the wearer to be polite and turn Glass off "if you're asked to turn your cellphone off." There is no mention of what to do if asked to remove the Glass.
Google's memo likens Glass to cellphones when describing the socially acceptable Do's and Don'ts of its presence in public. It can go everywhere but must be restrained at times.
Others would liken it to tobacco, where its assault on the privacy of others is manifest whenever it is on display in public.
All of this is only now beginning to be sorted out as society wrestles with the etiquette and ethics of new technology and once again seeks to redefine "creepy and rude."

Who me? Trouble?
Oh yes, this little 9 month old is a mover and shaker.
She is becoming a daddy's girl and sometimes prefers Jim over me. That is new, since carter is still a mommas boy.
They love each other. It makes me happy when they play together or laugh together. So cute!
She has to be crawling, walking( with help), or climbing. She has to be moving. She loves to walk behind her walker.
She loves being outside. Doesn't mind the being on the grass or trampoline.
He is a good big brother. He tries to take care of her. Loves to hold her and is even trying to hold her when she walks.
She is a jumper but not always a fan of being contained in the jumper.
It is fun to dress up a baby girl! Especially cause she is so cute!
Carter loves golfing, mostly he runs from hole to hole. Delany wasn't sure about her first golfing experience. But she is becoming a daddy's girl! She has cried a few times when Jim gives her to me.
A little swinging in the hammock.
She is a monkey!
Loves to try new things, like sand! Yummy. She loves finger food and carbs. Bread, muffins, waffles, and baby puffs are her favorites!
Love this cute baby! I squish her all day long.
And try to keep her from killing herself.... Little climber.
Now we have to work on getting down the right way!
This big boy is getting close to being fully potty trained.... It is a process! But he wears underpants most of the time.
He loves to make up songs and perform. He is starting to get sassy and think he should be able to tell us not to do things or tell him things. He is very social and loves having friends come play and loves to go to nursery.
He was fearless touching this snake. He is getting so big.
I am back to teaching at sports academy and carter will be starting preschool there in a few months. Crazy. He will love it.
I ran my first half marathon this last weekend. Got to see all my girlfriends and it was so fun.The John Marshall crew- jenni, Joanne, Suzanne, Jojie
Lunch with Lynnley
Dinner with Julie, Beth, Jen, and Jaime
Jaime ran the race too. She fun to catch up with all my California friends. Miss them!
"Ready, set, race!" $40 doesn't get you much except for the beach:)
I had some bad abdominal cramps that slowed me down after mile 9. I still managed to finish under 2 hours but I might have to run another one to see if I can do better:( can't believe I am saying that.... But all I have to do now is maintain.
Came in 5th over all. The second fastest female. Not horrible:) my awesome husband took care of the kids so I could hang out in HB. Miss that place! But life is pretty great!

Artist: Garrick Palmer
An English painter, wood engraver and photographer born in Portsmouth, 20th September 1933. Following an education at St. John's College, Southsea, Palmer received a National Diploma of Design in painting and engraving from the Portsmouth College of Art and Design.
During his postgraduate study, he was awarded several scholarships (including the Leverhulme Scholarship 1957) and the Royal Academy Gold Medal, 1958.
After becoming a full-time tutor at Winchester School of Art in 1962 and retiring in 1986, he devoted himself full-time to his art.
"There can, in my view, be a link between photography and print making, in the shape of two essential factors: the block or plate, generally termed as relief printing, and the negative or file, when referring to the digital process. Both act as an intermediate starting point for a wide range of future work and it is where the Artist/Photographer would aim to exploit their visual and perceptive boundaries. While that could be a rather idealistic view, photography often has the additional ingredient of the client, which may significantly change the role of the photographer."

No more wimpy squeals from anyone trying to lift the tailgate
In the spirit of Christmas, we've given our Nissan Navara a little present. Rather selfishly though we haven't bought our truck something chromey to make it feel even more spangly than it already does. To be honest, it's more like one of those presents that you get for someone else while knowing that you'll be the main beneficiary.
Being metrosexual types who have never so much as walked past a gym let alone gone into one, we've always struggled to lift the Navara's industrially heavy tailgate. So we asked 4×4 hard-top and accessories specialist Pegasus to supply and fit one of its Tailgate Assist devices. This gizmo bins the regular tailgate hinges in favour of sprung ones and adds a gas strut to give you the same sort of soft-close action you might have on your loo seat.
We took the Nav to Pegasus's HQ in Bristol for our fitment. There's no additional drilling required as the Tailgate Assist uses existing holes. The whole operation took just half an hour and cost us £354.
The i newsletter cut through the noise
It's jolly good too. Even Mr Burns from The Simpsons would have no bother opening and closing the tailgate now. It's a small thing really but it's had a big effect on everyday useability. Shame pickup manufacturers don't fit this, or something like it at least, as part of the standard equipment.
While we were waiting, Pegasus boss Alec took the chance to show us the company's NP300 Hard Top, which at £2394 undercuts the Nissan top by over £900. We liked the look of it. Besides having central locking on all three windows, the NP300 has noticeably wider side apertures than the factory item, and it's lined with thick, dog-friendly cloth. Alec reckons it's fully waterproof, which does not seem to be the case on our Navara.
Plenty of thought has gone into the Pegasus design. Apart from more ergonomically friendly handles and closer gaps between cab and lid, it has 55kg rated roof bars. Best of all, the inside window is a dual-slide affair, allowing you to ventilate your pets and clean the back window glass.
That last feature is especially appealing as there's no way to clean the increasingly thick layer of grime off our standard top's glass other than by removing all the hinges and sliding the hard-top forwards. That's a crazy design. Even some sort of recline option on the cab's rear window would be better than what's there at present.
Price new £24,792.50 Price as tested £29,621.50 Economy: 33.6mpg Fault:s None Expenses: New aerial £12, Pegasus Tailgate Assist £354

Science Fiction VS Science Fact
Replicating Machines

Science Fiction vs. Science Fact: Replicating Machines
By Mark Sackler
Self-replicating machines have been a staple in science fiction since the 1940's. A. E. Van Vogt, Philip K. Dick and Arthur C. Clarke, along with many others, have used self-building robots as plot devices. But just how realistic an idea are they?
As far back as 1980. NASA conducted an engineering study of concepts for a self-replicating lunar factory. For decades, the study sat and collected dust. But the concept of robotic explorers, builders, and miners that can land and copy…

So, you have decided that you are interested in purchasing private label rights content, but you aren't quite sure how you should use them. Here are a few ideas for how you can creatively use PLR content and reap the benefits of them.
Use them for Webinars. You can turn PLR articles into webinars for your business. You can use the content in the articles to create Powerpoint slides, which you can then use for your webinar. This will allow you to cut down the time you spend creating webinars, as you won't need to write the content yourself.
Turn them into Videos. This may sound like an odd idea to you, but it is really quite creative. You can use the PLR content that you have purchased as the information that you share in a video, which you can then upload onto a video sharing site, like YouTube. In this way, you won't need to create your own text for your videos.
Use them for Audio Files. Turn PLR content into audio files, which you can then use as podcasts on iTunes, or which you can upload onto your website or blog. This will save you from having to create the content that you want to share on your audio files.
Use them to Create a New Product. You can use the PLR content that you purchase to create a new product. For example, you can use the content to create a new eBook, which you can then offer as an incentive to your subscribers to purchase another product; or, you can sell the new product that you have created for a profit.
Use them to Create a Report. Purchase a collection of PLR articles that are based on the same topic and compile them to create a report. You can then turn around and give the report away as an incentive or a bonus to your subscribers.
Use them for Your Social Media Profiles. If you are using social media sites as a way to market your business, you can use PLR content for your social media profiles. You can take bits and pieces of the PLR content and use them as statues updates on Facebook, or you can use small snippets as tweets on Twitter.
With a little ingenuity, you can easily see that there are many creative ways that you can use PLR content to your advantage. Put your creativity to work and you will find that there are limitless ways that you can use PLR content.

General Question
Is there a significant difference between a solid state hard drive and a regular one?
Asked by DominicX (28777) September 28th, 2010
For people who have used computers with both, have you noticed a difference in performance and speed? How much of a difference? How significant?
As I've indicated before, I am planning on getting a PC laptop to go alongside my Mac (as soon as I sell my old PC laptop). I want to get one with a solid state drive, but they are hard to find. Really only the HP Pavilion and the Dell Studio XPS were the ones I could find with solid state drives.
I was really motivated to get an SSD after my Mac's regular hard drive crashed. I heard SSDs don't fail as often.
So what's the deal with SSDs?

text: We conducted seismic multiattribute analysis by combining seismic data with wireline logs to determine hydrocarbon sweet spots and predict resistivity distribution (using the deep induction log) within the Austin Chalk and Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. Our investigations found that hydrocarbon sweet spots are characterized by high resistivity, high total organic carbon (TOC), high acoustic impedance (i.e., high brittleness), and low bulk volume water (BVW), suggesting that a combination of these log properties is required to identify sweet spots. Although the lower Austin Chalk and upper and lower Eagle Ford Shale intervals constitute hydrocarbon-sweet-spot zones, resistivity values and TOC concentrations are not evenly distributed; thus, the rock intervals are not productive everywhere. Most productive zones within the lower Austin Chalk are associated with Eagle Ford Shale vertical-subvertical en echelon faults, suggesting hydrocarbon migration from the Eagle Ford Shale. Although the quality factor (Q) was not one of the primary attributes for predicting resistivity, it nevertheless can serve as a good reconnaissance tool for predicting resistivity, brittleness, and BVW-saturated zones. In addition, local hydrocarbon accumulations within the Austin Chalk may be related to Austin TOC-rich zones or to migration from the Eagle Ford Shale through fractures. Some wells have high water production because the water-bearing middle Austin Chalk on the downthrown side of Eagle Ford Shale regional faults constitutes a large section of the horizontal well, as evidenced by the Q attribute. Furthermore, the lower Austin Chalk and upper Eagle Ford Shale together appear to constitute a continuous (unconventional) hydrocarbon play.

Lasting Power of Attorney
Lasting Powers of Attorney at Stonehewer Moss
What is an attorney?
- For the purposes of this note it is a person appointed to take steps for you, like an agent. As such, an attorney is not designated as a trustee but is simply given legal authority to take steps for you would be otherwise responsible, on your behalf.
What is a power of attorney?
- A document granting authority to conduct transactions as mentioned above on your behalf. It can be specific to particular steps or general, for instance while you are out of the country.
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
- These were introduced by the government in 2007 because of concern that Enduring Powers of Attorney were being used to take advantage of vulnerable people, as they only had to be registered if the maker lost mental capacity. A lasting power of attorney can be in one or both of two respect, the first being about your health and wellbeing, giving the attorney power to make important decisions about your care and giving specific instructions if you wish and the second being about the financial decisions taken for the maker by the attorney. The power is invalid until registered with the Office of the Public Guardian in respect of health and you have lost capacity to make decisions for yourself and in respect of finances it is invalid until registered. Theoretically this protects the vulnerable elderly person who has capacity to decide for him or herself. A financial attorney can place conditions on the attorney, such as the requirement to act on financial advice upon certain transactions.
Who can be an attorney?
- Any person over 18 you feel will be responsible enough for the role.
What safeguards are there other than registration?
- A responsible person you have known for at least two years needs to read the document and check with you that you understand it before you sign. They must certify that you understood it and were mentally capable at the time. A solicitor or your gp can certify but there may be an additional charge. In addition, you should nominate up to 5 people you know to be sent 4 weeks notice of the registration application to the Office of Public Guardian. These persons can raise objection to the proposed registration.
Can I cancel the power of attorney?
Yes, you van serve notice terminating the power at any time until you lose mental capacity.
What does a Lasting Power of Attorney cost?
The registration fee at the Office of Public Guardian is currently £110. Stonehewer Moss charge a fixed price of £500 inclusive of VAT and your GP may charge to certify the power of attorney. Please note this estimate is based upon your instruction without complex assets or conditions to be considered and your instruction to register without delay.

In Malayalam movie industry we have seen certain combinations/teams being succesful. Usually these combinations are made of Hero/Heroine or Director/Actor pairs like Prem Nazir/Sheela, Joshi/Mammootty, Priyadarshan/Mohanlal, Shaji Kailas/Suresh Gopi and Rajasenan/Jayaram.
Dileep, is a totally different case in the sense that he likes to repeat his team of screen play writers, Uday Krishna and Siby K Thomas. In the last few years Dileep has worked with a number of directors, but most of his movies had these duo as the writers. Their successful movies include Lion (2006), Kochi Rajavu (2005), Vettam (2004), Runway (2004) and C.I.D. Moosa (2003)
We think that as an actor Dileep is aware of his limitations and strengths. He is aware of the competition around him in the form of actors with formidable screen presence like Mammootty, Mohanlal, and Suresh Gopi . His growth from a mimicry artist to a financially successful hero is the result of careful planning and marketing. For example the movie C.I.D Moosa (Dilip's Home production), which can easily be classified as cartoon, became a major hit because of Dileep's shrewd marketing strategies.
Dileep has realised that for his movies to be success, they must have a dash of humor. Writers Uday and Siby are good at writing Dilip's brand of humour and hence the decision to market himself as a package. Now the producers just have to get a director and Dileep comes in with his team. Most of the Priyadarshan movies are written by Srinivasan or Priyan himself, but for Vettam it was Dileep's team.
In the case of Lion, they had the option of outdoing Ranji Panikkar's style or to mould it in Dilip's style. They opted for the latter and result is success. The upcoming movie of this trio is Chess and emboldened by Lion's success we foresee Dileep's team writing horror films, action thrillers, historicals and tragedy films, all with a touch of humor.
We are left wondering if Dilip would extend this concept to other areas of film making. What if he decides to add the cinematographer he likes permanently to his team or song writers, or music directors. Since Kavya Madhavan is his lucky heroine, he could add her to the package too. Finally Dileep would be like a margin free movie super market.
One thing we are sure of is that Dilip won't be able to add audience to his team. Audience are a team on their own, and they accept or reject Dileep's movies en masse.

Good morning, Jon.
Jon: Good morning, Scott. How are you?
Scott: I'm doing well. How's it going over there?
Jon: Great, just enjoying having coffee, doing our podcast with you.
Scott: Nice! Delicious Trader Joe's French vanilla coffee's great.
Jon: Let's tell our listeners what we're going to talk about today.
Scott: In today's episode, we're going to talk about nightmare clients and what we learned from them.
Jon: Right. They're the worst, but the best.
Scott: Exactly.
Jon: The best because the best lessons come from them.
Scott: Right. The reason I wanted to talk about this this week was really because in this past week, I had one of these clients.
Jon: Tell me about it.
Scott: It drove me up a wall. As you know, everything I do is straight up over the phone. I get this guy on the phone and he wants to tell me how great he is the whole time. We're actually going to call him Dick. That will be his name for the day. Dick proceeds to tell me how amazing he is throughout this whole process. Dick doesn't want to hear any niceties. He doesn't even want me to ask him how his day is. He wants to ask me questions and he wants me to answer them.
Jon: It sounds like his name is quite fitting.
Scott: Exactly. Dick just wanted to tell me how rich he was and all this stuff, which is great. I don't mind. I will stroke your ego all day long, but this guy didn't even want his ego stroked. He just …
Jon: We like to work with people who have money.
Scott: Exactly. He just wanted to ask me questions and get the answers. The problem was, is, every time he asks me a question, as soon as I would try to answer the question, he would interrupt me and say, "I just want the answer." It was maddening. I let him get my blood pressure up and I tried to get him … I tried to turn it around and it wasn't happening. Him and I just butted heads. We were stepping on each other's periods and commas left and right.
Jon: What did you do?
Scott: The conversation really got nowhere. Really, at the end of the call, him and I, we talked. I actually sent him just a cursory quote because that's all I was going to give this guy right over the phone. At the end, it was funny. He said, "You know what, I really like you. I wish I would meet you in person someday. If you tried to punch me in the face, we'd probably hit it off. You remind me a lot of my son-in-law." I was like, "Okay. Now, after you tried to give me all the sales training over the phone telling me just to answer my client's questions, challenging me on everything, I probably am twice the salesperson you'll ever be. You're, now, you want to be my friend." It was very strange. I hung up the phone.
Jon: Did you say that to him?
Scott: No. What I did say to him was, "Yeah, you know what? I would love to pick your brain," because, honestly, I'll take information from anywhere. Feedback is a gift so I would have loved to actually meet with him and have him talk to me. I thought his idea of sales was ridiculous – just to answer questions is how you actually sell to somebody.
Jon: Yeah, very close-minded.
Scott: Exactly. After I hung up, I said, "Okay, that got nowhere. It was a waste of about 20 minutes of my life. How could I fix it?" My thought was, had I taken a step back and tried to calm myself down, I could have maybe gotten him to mirror me a little bit versus me mirroring him because him and I just became a big pissing contest. We got nowhere. I didn't get the sale. He didn't get the product. Nothing happened. I thought maybe if I had a little bit more humility, I would have been able to take a step back and turn him around a little bit."
Jon: Good for you.
Scott: At the end of the day, it was a learning experience and I didn't get the sale on that call. I'm probably not going to get the sale with this guy. I'm probably not going to meet him in person because I probably will punch him in the face. But, it was a learning experience. I guess it was 20 to 30 minutes well spent.
Jon: When you looked at that experience, I love what you said about asking for feedback, thinking about feedback. It's the do-over. It's the only way that we learn on how to do it better the next time. As you talked about humility, what are the two or three things or the one thing that you would do differently when you look at this scenario the next time it happens?
Scott: It would be plain and simple. I would say, "Dick, listen. I'm here to help you. Let's take a step back. Maybe we didn't hit it off right off the bat. Tell me a little bit about how you want this to end. What are you trying to accomplish? What is our end game? I hope you get there. I work for you." I think that's something we forget as salespeople a lot of times is we do need the client. What I see is a lot of times, newer salespeople which this podcast is geared towards, they get paired up with some hotshot in the office or some hotshot from the company to shadow them. They pick up on a lot of the bad things that the hotshots do because it's easier. They don't pick up on the fundamentals that the hotshots do naturally, that just comes to them naturally. They think that acting all boiler-roomish or wolf of Wall Street-ish is going to get them a sale when it's really not. It's relationship selling, for sure.
Jon: Right. We are a new … I agree. We are of service to the client. Without the clients, we can't grow our business. I think that's critical. I'm sure nightmare client, with me and what I learned. I remember I had this one client when I first started off in the business and every time I would see his phone number pop up on caller ID, my stomach would hit the ground, hit [crosstalk 00:05:54]. I couldn't communicate with him because he … I could but not to the caliber that I wanted to do because he scared the shit out of me. What I learned was, and still, I'm still learning but, what I learned in that situation is how overly prepared I needed to be for this client, for all my clients moving forward and really just making sure that I knew everything and didn't take anything for granted about what was going on with that client, their deal, their account. This happened to be real estate. I'm selling some apartment buildings for them but really understanding all the nooks and crannies and perspectives because this client would try to catch me and I don't want to get caught.
Scott: I've been there too, this old fail-to-plan, plan-to-fail situation.
Jon: I remember when I first started in the real estate business, I met this agent that I worked with who became a good friend and he was telling me this story when I first started it about one of his nightmare clients. He cold calls this guy and the guy was just so rude to him. The guy ended up hanging up on him. The guy called back. My buddy called back and he says to him, "Hey." I'm not suggesting everybody does this but he says to him, "Hey, were you born an asshole or you work at it every day?" The guy loved it. He laughed. He thought it was hilarious. Nobody had ever called him out like that. They reached deals together and, ultimately, became good buddies.
Scott: That's fantastic.
Jon: He just called him out on it in a very wrong way and it worked for him.
Scott: I think that's true. Sometimes, I deal with a lot of folks out East. People are scared to work with New Yorkers. I love it because they come at you. They're in your personal space even. If you're on the phone, you can feel it. If you step forward and you get in their personal space back, they love it. If you take a step back and they can then proceed to encroach on you further, then they know they own you and they don't respect you. But, if you meet them just like a bully, if you give a bully a bloody nose, they back up.
Jon: Let's talk about how you transition. In your scenario, and this happens to all of us every day – you, me and everybody who's listening – how do you transition your confidence to get that client to mirror you on the phone when you've lost control of the call or the meeting?
Scott: Right. I can share my secret. It's a cheat but it's great. Since I sell mainly on the phone, I say, "Do me a favor, Jon. Can you hold for a moment? I got to clear this call." I'll put you on hold. I really put you on mute and I hear you probably saying this [inaudible 00:08:37] under your breath but, at that time, I know that I'm getting a pause. I can come back and regroup and start the call exactly how I want to. Then, take a beat, say how I'm going to restart the call and then I'd come back and say, "Hey, John. Where were we? Oh, yeah. I was just going to ask you this." Then, now regain control of the call and take the call someplace I wanted to go instead of where you want.
Jon: I would agree. Mine's right in line. If I'm in a face-to-face meeting, I would excuse myself and say I have to go to the bathroom. If I'm on the call, the same thing, I'd put it on mute. I learned this trick a long time ago from a book, You Can Negotiate Anything, Herb Cohen. He said when you lose control of a call, you hang up on yourself talking.
Scott: I like that.
Jon: If you hang up on yourself talking, nobody would think that you would hang up on your own self talking. It would be like me losing control. Let's say you're my client and me saying to you, "Hey, Scott. What I want to talk to you about right now …" and you hang up on yourself. Then, you initiate the callback and you say, "You know, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened there," because the person who initiates the call is in control of the call. It gives you a minute to take a breath and recollect.
Scott: I love it. That's great, too.
Jon: Yeah. I've taught a lot of salespeople that. I've done it a lot. I'm not silly proud of it but there are times I get too flustered and you just lose control of a call. You got to do what you got to do.
Scott: Right, exactly. I think this, actually, we talked about how an objection is really a buy-in trying to disguise. I think along the same token, what we've learned is that a nightmare client is actually a learning experience in disguise.
Jon: It's a gift. It's a gift because it pushes you to take yourself to your next level. It pushes you to be better and it pushes you to evaluate your current systems and processes of what you are doing and up your game instead of being so complacent and taking things for granted.
Scott: To sum it up, what we need to do is when you do have that nightmare client, we need to take a step back and re-evaluate and say what could we have done differently. Because we definitely have fault in that situation as well. We share the blame.
Jon: I agree. As salespeople, we're actually responsible to take control of the situation. They're depending on us to lead. We got to give ourselves a jolt of confidence in those moments like that guy ultimately did in your initial conversation that you shared telling you that he actually likes you and you reminded him of his son-in-law. You had more leeway than you probably even thought.
Scott: Right. Exactly.
Jon: It happens to me all the time. We don't realize how much control you have.
Scott: Correct.

Heidelberg Wins GATF InterTech Award for Prinect Inpress Control
- Published: January 05, 2009
KENNESAW, GA | Prinect Inpress Control, the in-line color measuring system from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg), won the prestigious InterTech Award presented by the Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (GATF). The far faster set-up times of this in-line measuring system, which Heidelberg unveiled at Ipex 2006, made a particular impression on the panel of judges, a result of the machine no longer having to be stopped for sheet pulls and measurements. Both inking up and registration are quicker, too. The fact that the machine does not need to be stopped also cuts paper waste.
The in-line measuring and control system is available for Speedmaster XL 75, Speedmaster XL 105, Speedmaster XL 145, and Speedmaster XL 162 presses.
The PIA/GATF InterTech Technology Award has been presented annually since 1978. It is awarded to particularly innovative technologies that are of concrete benefit to the print media industry and is aimed at advancing technical progress in the industry. GATF is one of the world's leading technical associations in the graphics communications industry.

If my ea account is banned for Fifa 17 and I buy Fifa 18 will I be able to play on that account
July 2017
July 2017
hey @jonyboy021
so as @bobochimp as mentioned, if your account has been suspended for the whole fifa franchise, you won't be able to play either version of the game (fifa 18 or even fifa 16).
there's still the chance your ban is only regarding fifa 17 and in that case you should be able to play fifa 18 using your current account, but the only way to be sure of that is reaching the live support (phone or chat) and asking them.
Good luck!
July 2017
I forgot to mention that I am able to play battlefield 1
July 2017
July 2017
hey @jonyboy021. so if you're still able to play bf1 this means your EA account isn't banned (which is already a great news!) however you potentially won't still be able to play FIFA 18 with actual account, as the ban could be only FIFA related (and this explains why you are still able to play BF1 normally).
So maybe before pre-ordering the game or redeeming a product code on the actual account (for PC I mean) I'd recommend to reach out the customer support and be sure about the kind of ban that's been applied to your account.
Best of luck!
July 2017 - last edited July 2017
That you can play Battlefield One doesn't necessarily mean you can play Fifa 18. You could be banned from the Fifa series which means you won't be able to play any of the Fifa's on this account. I'd have a checkup with an advisor to see what kind of ban you got so you know what to expect.

text: Sad that Sunu and Gavin Hoyte won't be around for tomorrow's match. But that's how life is - there are few perfect situations. Well, at least Vela is back. He is a formidable force in attack.I believe Wenger will use 4-3-3 again; I will be surprised if he uses another formation. My concern will be how he will accomodate Gibbs and Traore if he is using 4.3.3.I will go for a win for us. We are playing in Emirates, the youngsters are talented, and our defence is more experienced than it ever was on Carling Cup matches. See you tomorrow.
