"If you could make life better for another, would you? Even if it meant doing something fundamentally evil?"
The word plain comes to mind whenever anybody looks at Thomas MacGregor. Whether you're looking at his clothes, his face, or his comb over, nothing stands out. He's just one of those faces in the crowd.
His head, partially covered in thin, dirt colored hair, is usually found below a nearly shapeless and patched old hat and his clothes all of earthen colors are equally as shabby. Thomas' face is about what one would expect of a farmer's face. Tanned and leathery from years in the fields, his face is creased with lines of age and care.
This mild tempered man has spent just about all his forty years of life tending farms, that's what he's skilled at and little else. The life of an assassin doesn't suit him in the least and he can often be heard moaning something like "I'm too old for this," as he flees the scene of one of his blundered attempts at murder.
Early Life:
If one had to think of one word to sum up the life of Thomas MacGregor, a fairly accurate word would have to be 'small'. Thomas was born in a small house, on a small farm, on the outskirts of a small city. He was born into a long line of farming folk. "His father's father before him," and so it goes.
Thomas' father Randall had farmed all his life just like every man in the MacGregor lineage had farmed their entire lives. His mother had been a rather attractive barmaid in her youth but Thomas had always known her as the robust and matronly woman who attended to the "horrible wounds" he acquired playing with the twins from the next farm over(who he still spends time with to this day) or shooed him out the door whenever he returned home covered in something vile.
He lived a good life with his family and the years passed quickly. When Thomas reached adolescence and was able to work for his keep, his father realized what an asset his son was to him and even though he exploited the boy he showed him the love he never had when he was younger.
Nothing interesting actually occured in his life until about twenty years after his birth. A particularly potent strain of some virus had been travelling around the area and he and his family fell ill. He had been bed ridden for nearly a week when the disease left him and got up to find both his parents dead in their bed.
It was a sad event for Thomas, but it didn't change his disposition or his out look on life. His parents still occupy a little corner of the farm.
How An Honest Man Becomes An Assassin:
Thomas continued a simple existance, gaining enough money each year from the harvest to feed himself and the few animals that stayed on the farm with him. He spent his time either tending the crops, failing to woo the scullery girl at the local tavern (He's no casanova) or fishing with the twins from the next farm over. Thomas enjoyed his leisurely life immensely.
All that ended one night during one of the heaviest snow storms that the area had ever seen. Thomas was roused from a dose by a loud hammering on his door. He was shocked and horrified to find a child on his earthen door step. He didn't know it yet, but the biggest chore of his life was looking up at him. The only thing accompanying the child was a note of sorts. It had no explanation of why the little girl had "graced" his home it only had a name and an address, both written in flowing, beautiful script.
The Silent Knife Tavern
The Silent Knife Tavern was a rowdy place of ill-repute. Thomas had heard of it, but had been wary of entering, so wary that he'd never gone in. He assumed "Lilliana" was the babies name and he spent that winter learning the ins and outs of child care. When spring finally arrived he took a little trip via his old rickety wagon into the nearest big town (I'll leave it to the reader to think of a name) and payed a visit to The Silent Knife.
The bartender asked him his name when he bought a drink, which seemed odd to Thomas. What really struck him as odd however, was the fact that someone had left a message for him. It was in the same finely penned script as the first message, though a good deal more formal.
Thomas MacGregor,
If you have recieved this letter, then you must also have recieved my daughter Lilliana. I'm she has recieved the best care you could provide. In any case, I owe you a debt of grattitude and possibly more if you would be willing to accept a business proposal of mine.
I would ask you to do something most heinous, but I would easily make it worth your while. I ask you too wait at (insert political building) for (insert lesser noble). He has troubled me greatly and I think it would be best if he were "removed".
Thomas knew very well what this anonymous employer wanted and he also realized this person had used his own flesh and blood as a bargaining chip. It would take a monster to do something like that to a baby and if someone from a noble family had sent him this letter, they could easily accuse him of kidnapping the girl. The constabulary would be quick to believe the party with more gold (ie: not Thomas). He had no desire to see his head on a chopping block. Thomas was in quite a pickle.
The Present:
Thomas began his life of crime ten years ago. The only mission he ever actually accomplished was the very first he received. He is aware of what a pitiful assassin he makes but he still tries very hard to provide his adopted daughter with the life he thinks she deserves.
Thomas knows she was used as a tool by his employer, but he loves her deeply and would do anything for the girl. For his first assassination he recieved more wealth than he'd ever known, and so far it has been the primary source of income for him and his daughter.
Behind The Scenes:
Lilliana is the biological daughter of a man named Fenrick "The Snake". The proprietor of Thomas' favorite tavern and the owner of several other taverns in the surrounding cities, including The Silent Knife.
Incidentally, he is also a big part of the political comings and goings in the area. He needed that particular noble (the one you inserted) out of the way and but unfortunately his current assassin had been arrested. Desperate times calls for desperate measures and Fenrick was about as desperate as they get.
He concocted a plan, one that would kill two birds with a single stone. He would be able to essentially remove an illegitament child and get that nuisance of a noble. Thomas was just in the wrong tavern at the wrong time. Fenrick had known Thomas for as long as he'd owned the pub and he decided that Thomas would at least be able to get the job done.
Fenrick can be regarded as an evil individual, but he's not entirely black hearted. He greatly over payed Thomas for his singular service and it's out of shear concern for his daughter that he continues to offer Thomas work.
Special Equipment
Special to him maybe. Just about everything in his small cottage has some sentimental value to him. Other than that no, he's got nothing of value.
roleplaying notes
Thomas cares about his adopted daughter more than anything. He would die with a smile on his face, just knowing that she was safe.
Plot Hooks
Man Hunt: The player characters are on the tail of a notorious killer, a mishap occurs and they find themselves on the trail of Thomas instead. He could become an allie and help in the search or they could end up taking him to the authorities and pinning him with a murder he didn't commit.
The Rusty Dagger Killer: Thomas has been imprisoned for attempted murder (he failed agian), but he isn't a bad guy. Ask anyone who knows him and they'll tell you. Perhaps compassionate PC's would risk rescuing him, and perhaps he could offer a meager reward to more mercenary PC's. Would they be willing to rescue "The Rusty Dagger Killer?"
Blast From The Past: The PC's could run into a younger version of Thomas as well. How interesting would it be to run into a bumbling assassin carrying around a baby in the medieval equivalent of a "Snuggly"?

The Ohio University School of Media Arts & Studies welcomes Jay Sweet for an exclusive Skype Q&A session on Friday, April 7th. Sweet is the executive producer of the Newport Folk and Newport Jazz Festivals, the oldest music festivals in the United States.
"Jay is a visionary and someone who has a big heart for music and the importance of musicians in the pantheon of our culture," said MPRI MDIA lecturer Josh Antonuccio. "We are privileged to welcome him for this discussion with OU MDIA students."
Sweet joined the Newport Folk Festival in 2007 as a consultant and became an associate producer in 2008 and producer in 2009. He has served as editor-at-large and Director of Business Development for Paste magazine, as a principal and co-founder of Sweet & Doggett Consulting and is a frequent keynote speaker at film and music conferences. Before the Newport events, Sweet spent a decade helping corporate America with its music initiatives and now continues that expertise with the Newport Festivals Foundation. Just recently his work with the Newport Festivals was featured in Rolling Stone Magazine. Since signing on to produce the Newport Folk Festival, Sweet has most notably directed a bold sales and marketing plan that relies solely on the event's brand to sell out months before the festival begins, before artists are announced and without the support of advertising and news releases. This year's headliners include Fleet Foxes, The Avett Brothers, and The Head and The Heart, to name a few.
Sweet brought the festival to Fort Adams State Park for three days and produces a series of concerts with area partners throughout festival week. He expanded the outreach of the brand with Newport Folk Radio and Newport Folk Presents, which includes a series of concerts in Boston, New York and beyond. He has a strong commitment to the environment and "greening" the festivals is a high priority. The Newport Folk Festival has been nominated Pollstar Music Festival of the Year for the past four years. The live Q&A session will take place in RTVC 639 on Friday 4/7 at 2PM. For more information, email Josh Antonuccio at email@example.com.

2014 was the first year since 2004 where I wasn't writing a couple of blog posts a week. It was weird! I feel very disconnected from the baseball news cycle; not having an internet connection stable enough to watch games with until the postseason probably had something to do with it, but when I buy the 2015 Baseball Prospectus I'll probably be putting a lot of names to slash lines for the first time.
But I outbid everybody else hunting for the em-dash.es domain name for another year, so whatever I end up writing in 2015, you'll see it here. My resolution is to exceed the 40-or-so posts I ended up making in 2014, and to have the book project I've been working on on-and-off for a few years in a condition to show you guys before, say, the celebrity softball game. (The TV replay, not the live game—I might need that extra day.)
To everybody who continued reading my work long after doing so was necessary to gain entrance to a fun and vibrant community: Thanks.
Here are five things I remember writing in 2014:
Scott Rolen is going to make you a curmudgeon
Scott Rolen—he was a great player, but you had to be there. You had to watch the way he controlled his huge limbs in flight, the way his arm snapped forward like a machined part, the way he ran with his head down in a way that had to be totally unlike your dad's stupid Charlie Hustle memories sounded.
Yadier Molina is a Hall of Famer in search of a new WAR formula
There have always been people who think Yadier Molina will one day be inducted into the Hall of Fame. These people watched him hit those NLCS home runs in 2006 and knew; these people watched him distinguish himself as Mike Matheny Jr. in 2004 and knew. Ask around the Midwest League and I am convinced you will find that there were people who sat at O'Brien Field every afternoon, cheering on Dan Haren (7-3, 1.95) and Tyler Johnson (15-3, 2.00) and Shaun Boyd (.313/.379/.471), and knew that Yadier Molina, .280/.331/.384, was going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Kevin Siegrist is an injured pitcher
The thing that's harder to afford, as a baseball fan, is the sense that getting excited about a young pitcher is just the first part of a story that always involves a year in the wilderness and a flinching unease every time you watch him throw that bewildering slider.
Why I keep rooting for Tommy Pham
I can't disprove the world I imagined when I was 17—where all of us are governed by probability, and it's best that we all accept it and will our favorite organizations to become more efficient—which I guess is the point. When you are a supremely confident teenager, if you're lucky, you get some idea of how the world really does work, and you root for progress to take hold and install you in your rightful place among the elect who have also read the right books. Sometime after that, if you are lucky, you fail convincingly enough to realize that you are the fat, not the lean cut of meat you kept yelling at general managers to finish trimming.
We are lucky the World Series ratings are so terrible
Our only protection is that nobody outside Fox Sports Midwest's viewing territory cares about our Mike Matheny memes; the regional nature of baseball fandom is all that's keeping us from Budweiser commercials about Mike Trout's bitchin' man-cave. Local radio stations and regional sports networks and going to a no-account June afternoon game with your whole family are not signs of the sport's sickness, they're what allow us to enjoy it on its merit, with people we're close to, for reasons that might not (and should not) resonate with every other baseball fan in the United States.

Smartphones Stress Networks Far More than Laptops
HELSINKI (Reuters) - A smartphone generates much less mobile data traffic than a laptop with a data card, but phones impose a load on the network which is much larger than anticipated, a study showed on Wednesday.
A boom in mobile data trafficboosted by laptops and smartphonesis putting unprecedented stress on wireless networks around the world.
Delivering the same amount of data, a smartphone typically generates eight times the network signaling load of a laptop with a data card, a study by technology firm Airvana Inc showed.
"They are always on ... in a chatty way," said David Nowicki, vice president of marketing and product management at Airvana.
Global annual shipments of smartphone handsets are projected to increase from nearly 200 million in 2009 to 450 million in 2013, according to market research firm iSuppli. (Reporting by Tarmo Virki; Editing by David Holmes)

Misc. Questions & Answers
How much milk should I produce?
In the past it was thought that mothers needed to make more and more milk as their babies grew. Scientists now know that a healthy milk supply remains fairly constant over the six (6) months of exclusive breastfeeding. Your baby will take the amount he needs.
During the early weeks, babies eat very frequently and grow very quickly. By day 10-14, babies should regain any weight they lost after birth. For the next few months babies will gain about an ½ ounce to 1 ounce a day.
Around three (3) to four (4) months, a breastfed baby's rate of grown begins to slow down. Your milk supply will continue to satisfy the baby until it is time to introduce solids at 6 months.
Be the end of the first week of life, women who are breastfeeding one baby normally make between 19 to 30 ounces of milk each day. Infants between one (1) and six (6) months of age normally drink an average of 19 to 30 ounces a day.
An average size "meal" for a baby is between three (3) to five (5) ounces of breastmilk. Formula is harder to digest and less well absorbed. Formula fed babies may need larger feeds. Consult your healthcare professional for advice.
Product Usage
How long will the Symphony operate before it automatically shuts off?
The Symphony automatically shuts off after 30 minutes with both battery and electric operation.
What should I do if my milk is already flowing when I start pumping?
Use the individual setting and press the "let-down" button to directly use the expression mode.
What functions do the knobs perform on the Symphony?
The button all the way to the left is the on/off button. The knob in the center of the unit controls the suction and speed. The button all the way to the right is the "let down" button. This button interrupts the first phase (stimulation phase) so you can go right to the expression phase without waiting for the 2 minute stimulation phase to end.
How long can breast milk be kept in a cooler carrier?
- You can safely store your breast milk for up to 10 hours* with Pump In Style Advanced and Freestyle breast pump cooler bags.
- Direct exposure to the sun, like leaving the cooler in a car, severely reduces the cooling effectiveness.
- Breast milk is safe stored in a cooler at/or below 59 degrees for up to 24 hours.
- The liquid inside the cooling elements is water with food grade dye. The liquid is non-toxic.
Medela does not have recommendations for storing breast milk with dry ice. Consult a lactation consultant or healthcare provider for further information.
*When ice pack is frozen solid
What does it mean when the Symphony reads, "invalid card?"
When the Symphony message reads, "invalid card" it could mean that the card in the pump is not the correct program card; the card could be damaged or the card is not inserted correctly.
Unplug the pump and remove the card. Check the card to make sure it is the correct card and also check for damage. Replace if necessary. Make sure the card is inserted in the direction of the arrows and the arrows are visible.
Plug in the pump and press the let-down button and the power button at the same time. Hold for several seconds and release. Try the pump again. If this does not correct the problem, the pump would need to be sent back the rental station for return to Medela.
Why does the cover pop off the Symphony pump while I'm pumping?
If the Symphony cover pops up while you are pumping, it may be due to an obstruction in the tubing.

The Calm Before The Storm
Things feel normal right now. Our little home is comfortable. I had a dear friend over for dinner and a movie. We lit the house up with candles and chatted about life and laughed about the lamest movie I've seen in years. Everything felt so homey and comfortable. We are leaving our little home in one month. I'm getting sad. I love our little Mississippi home.
I will miss everything about it. I think I am just getting sentimental. That's normal right? I've finally found my place here and we're on to our next adventure. I'm excited but I'll miss our little home. I'll miss my road trips with Dan in the South. I'll miss our photo shoots. I'll miss my job. I'll miss my new Southern friends.
I need to get a parasol to help me sail into our next adventure.
For now, I'm finishing up my last week of work at The Pastry Garden. I'm getting gifts and care packages together. I'm addressing thank-you notes. I'm collecting many boxes for the BIG move. I'm party planning.
I'm getting ready to go HOME to Mrytle Avenue and my dear Monrovia, California.
I get to chill with my Mommy, my CJ, my Baby Bono, my Annie and my lovely friends.
Then I'm back to Mississippi to celebrate our third wedding anniversary, have a grand yard sale, celebrate and pack up the big truck.
For now, I'm going to watch a movie in bed and drink some Diet Coke.
Hopefully Daniel will join me.

Demon Tower Defense
Posted: 11/21/2019| by R2games
This instance is open for parties consisting of 2-5 players, level 40 or higher. Demons and monsters respawn on 2 floors of the tower, with 10 on each floor. There are 30 waves that need to be defeated, in order to clear the instance.
Game Rules
• This instance has two difficulties: one is normal, and the other [Heroic]. Monsters fought in [Heroic] instances are much more difficult.
• After a wave spans, the monsters in that wave will attempt to march past you, to the portal. If 100 of them reach it, then the players fail the instance.
• Players should fight to keep the monsters from reaching the Portal. They can clear the instance if they are able to survive all 30 waves, and keep less than 100 monsters from reaching the portal.
• Monsters come in two varieties: one has high PATK, and the other high MATK. They have the same appearance, but watch what they say closely, and you may be able to tell which is which.
• Chests and jars found throughout the map contain buffs. Break them to receive temporary stat boosts. These items respawn, and Buffs they contain may change.
• Maximize the damage per second (DPS) the team can deal to ensure victory. The more players in the party, the better the odds of clearing the instance.
• Be a team player. Form parties with a good mix of classes to optimize and balance your strategy. For example, Swordsmen might tank monsters, while the Hunters and Mages do as much damage as possible from a distance.
• Also, break those jars, and use those buffs! They can make the difference between victory, and defeat.

[hallowe'en, 1976 - the penultimate date for this version of the band (and the penultimate station for braxtothon phase three) resulted in what would eventually be regarded as a classic recording: dortmund 1976, first released in 1991, long after the final date for the band had joined the latter days of wheeler in a few record collections (in the form of the montreux/berlin concerts). dortmund is considered a peak recording by many people, and i used to think of it in those terms myself; writing about it turned out to be problematic. here's how i eventually decided to solve this particular problem: put all the asides and preamble regarding dortmund in one place, appending a brief track-by-track at the end; the detailed account from the actual braxtothon session will then follow separately. those who just want the summary, skip down to the last section..!]
i've been thinking a lot about gourmets lately... yes, gourmets, because surely they are among the very harshest and most demanding of critics: every last tiny detail must be just so, just so... and of course it is never quite is, not in practice. there is an ideal standard fixed in the memory, against which all other offerings must be measured in the here-and-now... ineluctably, there will always be a little something found wanting. this is not to say that critics of the performing arts do not have the same tendencies, the same desire for an ideal/ imaginary perfection: some respected film critics have been terrible for this, and we all know that music critics can go the same way too..! no, but there is a difference, and i'll tell you why:
- the food critic's ideal standard exists only in memory and can never be verified. that first life-changing experience, still so vivid in his* mind, sitting in his grandmother's kitchen as tastes and sensations explode in his mouth... still vivid, yes, the whole tableau remains engraved on the memory in fine detail. but are the details accurate? the experiencer was a child, the rememberer is an adult... and of course the answer is no. we may intuit what the critic must hide from himself: that if he were somehow, magically, able to revisit his beloved grandma's heavenly pudding, which melted in his mouth and transformed his world, could sample it with his professional, educated palate... he would be shocked to find the fruit slightly overcooked, the seasoning a little imbalanced; the topping itself rather disappoints with its textures and lacks flavour... not really bad, of course - but awful nonetheless: the sheer lack of perfection, itself, would topple an edifice which has been already a short lifetime in construction. not that this will actually come about... small wonder, then, that the passing years simply enshrine the original moment ever more in the memory.
unfortunately, critics of the arts do not generally have the same excuse (if that's what it is). in many cases their formative experiences are (partially) repeatable, their ideal standards can be verified; they just usually won't be, or not with honesty. our severe movie critic, who insists that nothing made in these last few godless decades can ever hope to match the cinematic marvels he was privileged to witness as a boy, has revisited those same marvels on many cherished occasions; and of course each time he does so, his face becomes that of a child again, lit up with innocent wonder and rapt fascination. we all know what his face looks like the rest of the time, since this is the only way most critics will ever suffer themselves to be photographed: head tilted back slightly, chin rested on one hand, index finger pointing upwards to the cranium... one eyebrow is cocked, the whole saying clearly i have seen it all before... now impress me if you can! but would he ever dare to bring this lofty attitude to the hallowed shrine of his youthful joys?
in the case of music... well, the experience of a live concert can never fully be recaptured by listening to a recording of it, for sure, but in many critics' cases the first formative experiences seem to involve recorded, not live music - and i would bet that in all cases there are cherished recordings which fall into the same category as the film critic's monochrome masterworks: again, it need hardly be added that the revisiting of those recordings is only ever permitted under the right circumstances, and with all the associated memories, all the emotional scaffolding put back in place beforehand. a strong element of self-deception will always be entailed, because at all costs the shrine must never be desecrated. the implications are unthinkable.
of course, it also follows that with unchecked, idealised standards... poor reality never can quite match up.
* * *
all this above, which brings up to date some of my thoughts on the business of criticism, does and doesn't apply to me and my old mate dortmund. when i say old, we only go back four years or so; i didn't have a shrine erected to it. (and i'm unlikely to have done, since i desecrated most of my own shrines over the course of the last few years.) but there were echoes of that tendency, shall we say. when i wrote above that the album is considered a peak recording by many people, that is to say, almost everyone that's heard it, apparently. i've yet to read a bad word about it, and i myself used to get very excited sometimes when talking or even just thinking about this album - ! furthermore, it was my usual suggestion for a beginner's point of entry: everything the newcomer might have expected and everything they wouldn't expect - warmth, humour, excitement, jazziness etc etc - can pretty much be found here, in one neat package.
even the circumstances under which i got the album seemed charged with significance: i knew from reading about it (some while before i had fixated upon braxton as a special interest) that i definitely wanted this one, and i eventually snapped it up at the royal festival hall in 2004, waiting for b's quintet set to start (they had a music shop in the foyer back then). that performance, already semi-legendary, really fired my interest and enthusiasm... and so on: back home, played the album, loved it; played it again the following june when someone pointed out it was b's birthday, loved it again, etc. (considered reviewing it for an online retailer, never got round to it...!)
...and here's where i was guilty of behaving like our critic(s), above: during the period oct/nov '06-summer '07, when my ears became properly attuned to the sound of my music within this stuff, which they hadn't been (countless hours wasted before that on hard bop etc - these were not languages i spoke, so had few messages for me), i was hearing so much "new" music on a daily basis that i had no time to revisit my own collection; didn't update my impressions of dortmund, simply "ported over" my previous crystalised opinion(s) of it and rattled the same lines off whenever the subject came up. at c#9, even after i joined the "priesthood", i was happy to talk of the album as a classic, a necessary addition to any braxton collection etc - without bothering to check whether i still thought that, whether the album still sounded as good to my newly-reattuned ears.
and what happened next? by october '07, c#9 was wound up and i'd thought about starting a braxton blog, joined forces with mcclintic sphere instead... and then the braxtothon voyage began, with the sort of fireworks i had never expected, and my hearing was reattuned again. after that first week i pretty much put on hold any listening to recordings i had which were obviously now in a braxtothon queue (a few exceptions as previously discussed), but then something else unexpected happened last spring, just as another phase of the voyage was kicking off: i played some braxton to a friend and he loved it (as described here). hence, the next time i saw this same friend (again, the evening of a day which took in several sessions) it seemed natural enough, in this instance, to play dortmund, even though it meant skipping forward slightly, bending my own guidelines: i already had numerous impressions of the album from before - though as to when i myself had last listened to the whole thing..? - and we were not going to be sitting in solemn silence now, so it didn't really count as cheating...
... but the trouble was, i still heard enough to pick up the first hints that something vital was missing. when it came to the actual session, this was made that much clearer... by this time, it now seemed to me, braxton and lewis were both playing the music at such an advanced level that holland and altschul could no longer really keep up, the overall effect being that the two horns were dragged backwards, down to the level at which the whole band could play together. all those same exciting qualities and great moments that i remembered were still there: but as to the album itself, the entire performance... surely nowhere near as elevated as i had previously thought.
that's ok with me... as i've said before, i am committed in principle to honesty and rigorous self-examination, to challenging my own prejudices (maybe one at a time!) and to updating my opinions where necessary... and as i've said before, if i'm doomed to discover that many things i once loved are not quite the apotheoses i once took them for, i also sometimes find new reasons to appreciate certain old favourites even more. besides, the deeper and more wide-ranging pleasures and satisfactions i find in the music which doesn't leave me feeling that something is missing... these make it all worthwhile.
- and that, in case you had been wondering, is what happened to dortmund.
* * *
just to get any possible anticipation/anticlimax out of the way now, here is the condensed run-down (and this is a one-off, not something i plan to do routinely from now on): 40f is a wonderful new piece to being with, childlike in its simplicity and yet also inherently complex, bursting with possibility - most of which seems to go unexplored in what turns out to be a shortish, rather meandering rendition; it mutates seamlessly into 23j, which is far stronger here than the underfuelled version from montreux eighteen months earlier; music stops, applause (surprises me every time); the repetition series 40(o) - like its predecessor 6f (aka "73 kelvin", etc) - never did become a mere routine piece, and here it disintegrates before coalescing again, then breaking up again, an enjoyable recital; 6c is of course a deservedly famous(ish) piece, another superb circus march in miniature: playful, evocative, and hauntingly memorable, it supports many of lewis' strengths without pointing up the rhythm section's limitations; but it does actually take a while to get going, even so. finally, 40b begins cold as the march dies away - and this odd little moment of bathos prefigures (what is now) my lasting impression of the concert. the "old shoe" quality to the (collective) holland-altschul sound by this stage can become most apparent on this sort of mid-tempo number, which perhaps partly explains why i always now seem to emerge from the album with a slight feeling of deflation, something i certainly did not experience during those few years when i told anyone who'd listen that the album was an all-time classic. but - and here is the punchline which i didn't mention in any of the above - those previous times when i "listened" to it, i was treating it as ambient or background music, while doing other things. and as i know all too well by now, that really isn't the same as listening... not at all.
- again, let's just get the grading out of the way now: CCC. it's too good to be anything less, there are many excellent qualities to it and it could still represent one good point of entry for a newcomer, in principle; at the same time, i really feel it suffers by comparison with what's already been achieved earlier in the year... to give the jazz library guys their due, they picked one of the two obvious highlights from this album, namely 23j, surely the best version we have of this composition so far; yet it adds nothing to our understanding of the band to know that they play extremely well on this sort of piece. as for 40b, this tune suffered more than any other from the defenestration of my own "rulebook": a later version, with piano, ruined me for any version without one, before i could get this far in the journey. also... but that's enough, for now..! next time out will be the details ;-)

The Silence of the Lambs Research Papers
Thomas Harris', The Silence of the Lambs, is a book that, in the opinion of this writer, is very well done. I personally found it difficult to put the book down. It takes us into the world of a particularly malignant class of sociopaths, serial killers, and the men and women who try to bring them to justice. One of its great strengths is that it appears to be extremely well researched; one comes away from a reading of this book feeling that one has learned a great deal about both forensic psychology and about the FBI. But it is a book that could have been even more that what it is; it could have been a classic book about the anatomy of evil. At times it flirts with this, but it never quite escapes from being a sensational presentation of facts rather than a moral commentary. Given his gifts, had Harris made it the latter he might have authored a classic.
- Author - Thomas Harris
- Publication Date - 1988
- Film adaptation in 1991
In the first interview between Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter we find the moral issue addressed. It is raised by Lecter who takes exception to Starling's stereotyping of himself. She has remarked that taking a questionnaire might enable Lecter to understand why he is in confinement. It might, she says, give him insight into what has "happened" to him. In one of the best speeches of the book Lecter replies angrily that "Nothing happened to me… I happened. You've given up good and evil for behaviorism… nothing is ever anybody's fault." The point being made is quite deliberate on Harris' part. That point is that current psychiatric thinking down plays the reality of the existence of pure evil, that it reduces evil to causal explanations that absolve the perpetrator of moral responsibility. Elsewhere in the book he notes that numerous articles had appeared in professional psychiatric journals concerning Dr. Lecter, but that in none of them did the word "evil" appear.
Two things are noteworthy about Dr. Lecter. One is that, like the FBI, he is a little "too good" to be true. He is more erudite, more accomplished, more resourceful than seems possible. Indeed, Harris himself can't keep up with his creation. He writes of Lecter listening to Glen Gould's recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations, "The Goldberg Variations interested him structurally. Here it came again, the bass progression from the saraband repeated…." There is no saraband, a slow dance found in Bach's French and English Suites (also famously recorded by Gould), in the Goldberg Variations. Lecter's almost super-human abilities are overdone.

The autumn months usually mean the end of gardening for many keen gardeners; the cold weather and lack of sun mean growing anything is very difficult. Many gardeners hang up their gloves and tools; waiting for the busy spring months to start. There is a way of growing through the winter and if you want to keep yourself busy this article will show you how!
A greenhouse is needed to grow during the winter months; you can easily control the temperature and atmosphere inside a greenhouse making it ideal for unpredictable British winter weather.
Traditionally greenhouses are glazed with glass; glass helps create and trap heat inside a greenhouse so plants can grow strong and healthy. Glass is not the most inexpensive option but it gives a greenhouse that traditional look most gardeners are looking for.
A more modern material now used in greenhouses is polycarbonate; this is a plastic material specially designed to glazed greenhouses. Polycarbonate is not completely clear like glass; it has a translucent appearance. It also features small ridges on its surface; these small ridges create tiny gaps where air gets trapped. The trapped air helps trap more heat inside a greenhouse and helps a greenhouse retain a more constant temperature.
Polycarbonate is also much safer than glass; it will not shatter or break. Many gardeners choose Polycarbonate Greenhouses because of its safety especially if a garden is used by children or pets.
Insulating Your Greenhouse
You will need to insulate your greenhouse during the winter months. The insulation will help keep the temperature warm inside the greenhouse during the coldest nights. You can use many different types of insulation; you can also use recycled materials like newspaper or old duvets.
Bubble wrap is a great insulator and is inexpensive too; rolls of bubble wrap can be purchased from DIY or gardening stores. Start by covering the lower panels of your greenhouse. Attach the greenhouse using tape and ensure it is not too thick; this can cut out sunlight.
Some gardeners cover the whole interior of there greenhouses but this can block out sunlight.
Once you have attached the bubble wrap to the bottom of your greenhouse you can then start to insulate the bottom of your plants. Layer newspaper until it is 5 or 6 sheets thick and wraps it around the plant pot. Tie the newspaper tight around the base of the plant with string.
The newspaper will help insulate the soil and should help stop the soil from freezing. If you want to add another layer of protection you can add scraps of an old duvet. The old duvet will add another layer of protection.
Another way of insulating your greenhouse is to make sure the gaps around the door of your greenhouse is well insulated against winds. Pack newspaper into the gaps of the door and secure with tape; this will provide a more air tight seal for your greenhouse.
Many people often think evergreens grow throughout the winter but there are many different edible plants which will grow in a greenhouse during the winter. Salad plants are perfect for a winter greenhouse. Salad leaves are easy to grow and produce a lot of edible food for the whole family. Broccoli and cauliflower also grow very well during the winter and can usually be harvested in late February.
Insulating your greenhouse for the winter months is a great way of insuring you can garden all year round. Winter growing is great for the whole family and is also a great way of saving money.

Just to clarify the follwoing point:ReplyDelete
"General Retune Advice
Owners of Humax Freeview+ PVRs should be warned that conducting a full retune may result in the loss of scheduled recordings and series links."
Those does not affect Humax YouView boxes, as they will automatically retune, and they do not wipe the schedule even if you do a manual retune.
Thanks for clarifying the fact that if you don't retune you wont loose any channels, as I am due to retune a block of sheltered flats today, and i know I don't really want to do all of them in one afternoon!Replies
Thanks for clarifying the situation regarding Humax YouView boxes.Delete
While you're going around retuning, watch out for autoscanning TVs or boxes - these may have put channels in the wrong place, depending on their own internal set-up.
TV's and boxes without this function are in some ways going be more preferable for you as you go and about retuning.
- Anonymous19 September 2012 at 22:27
Thanks fr the info a516_digital, managed to re-tune everyone, and always did a first time installation, as when we did DSO, as no one has a PVR so all OK, and only needed to delete all the nonsense Adult channels, plus sport and IPTV ones they can't get anyway, as no one has that fancy smart stuff!! (Only me, and my YouView box is not compliant!!)ReplyDelete
Now waiting for more info on 17th Oct one, as I can't really see the need to do one if 24 hour news channels aren't moving, as only one resident has an HD TV!
If only they realised the hassle these retunes cause, all I heard was "It's telling me something in screen, what have I done wrong?"
All they meant was the message to advise about the retune, which they don't understand, and were baffled when I showed them what to do!
Ho um, maybe they (DMOL) will one day get their act together!Replies
Couldn't agree more with you re hassle. People who are not tech literate have been completely overlooked throughout this digital business. I do my best to explain to my Mum, but am dealing with someone who never learned to set the clock on her video recorder (she only ever recorded stuff which was just starting; no advance settings for her), who has trouble with the sort of brief press you need for most mobile phone buttons, and to whom the nested menu is a mystery.Delete
(That said, up to press, Dave, Really & Yesterday appear not to have moved on MY PVR. They have on the telly, but the Humax is still working as before. (And no, it hasn't updated itself, everything is just where it was. I even recorded stuff today on Dave))

The drama's chief producer Bae Kyung-soo, who attended the event, said that producer Kang Min-kyung had decided not to participate in the event after receiving harsh criticism from the public.
"We agree that a producer not attending a drama's press conference is a rarity. We suggested that she attend the event, but since her action has stirred a negative reaction, she decided to lie low and focus on producing the first episode of the program with a more humble mindset. Kang, who was also meant to be one of the main guests for today, felt sorry for not being able to be here," Bae said.
In July, Kang was embroiled in controversy for criticizing the acting of an actress from "Lovely Horribly" by saying, "Why do you have the facial expression of a bereaved family member of the Sewol ferry?"
The accident on April 16, 2014 had led to the death of more than 300 passengers, mostly high school students on a field trip.
The incident was revealed as one staff member who felt appalled by the remark had shared it in the staff's chat room.
After facing a storm of criticism, Kang reportedly apologized to staff and decided to keep a low profile.
Romantic horror drama "Lovely Horribly," starring actors Park Si-hoo, Song Ji-hyo, Lee Gi-kwang, Hahm Eun-jung and Choi Yeo-jin, is set to air its first episode on Aug. 13.

Bringing AI To Test Automation
Considering the increasing complexity of the software and contraction of a release cycle, the tester is much stressed to provide the quality feedback instantaneously. In the era of continuous testing, testing smarter, not harder mantra is being adopted by many organizations as no other choice is left for such a rapid software launches. Nowadays, not only releases are squeezed from monthly to weekly but also updates are done several times a day.
The only way to make software testing smarter and more efficient is by bringing Artificial Intelligence(AI) in this domain. The incorporation of machines that can emulate human behavior can not only enable us to move beyond the manual testing process but also, we would be able to move towards precision-based automated continuous testing.
For more than a year, Tricentis has been uniting AI deep learning and continuous testing. According to a statement given by Gerd Weishaar, Chief Product Officer at Tricentis, changed controls have been optically recognized by the continuous testing platform with more accurate results than human and ever-improving algorithms for capturing the slightest change.
AI is also being used in object application categorization for each User Interfaces within test automation. When you create tools, recognized controls are categorized. For out-of-the-box set-up, users can also pre-train commonly seen controls. Further algorithms are required for Optical Character Recognition(OCR). You can create a technical map from the hierarchy of controls and so the AI is looking at the GUI to get the label for the control.
It takes a while to see the positive results with learning algorithms, said Gerd. The core transactions can be distilled by a human user and machine learning from the business using deep learning. Tricentis is using this technique with a partner in information systems companies for SAP monitoring and testing to note details on the user side, log cases, and create custom-made cases without human interaction.
Verification of results is done by testing only. You need to access test data. Google DeepMind invented an AI program using deep reinforcement learning for playing video games by itself, hence generating loads of test data.
User preference can be monitored and categorized, a risk preference can be assigned accordingly. This data is a classical case for automated testing to learn and find out divergence. Bottlenecks can be identified through Heatmaps. Heat maps can also help to discern which tests you need to perform. We can't rely on classical data analysis as there is some flakiness. Testers should look for redundant test cases and convert manual test cases in automating it so as they can be more focused on making data-driven decisions.
As Automation Testing goes to the cloud, one user is learning from other users while keeping their data secure and apart. However, taking a dive into the core, we understand that repository tests are highly connected with one another, providing a data point for every relationship. AI neural networks are getting stronger as more data is being added.
Risk-based test automation helps users find which tests to run for most coverage when given a limited amount of testing time. By bringing AI to test creation, execution, and data analysis, testers can more quickly identify controls, spot links between defects and other components, and eliminate the need to constantly update test cases manually.

(Reuters) - Gregg Berhalter will be the first U.S. World Cup player to coach the men's national team, U.S. Soccer said on Sunday as it announced the 45-year-old's appointment to the top job.
Berhalter, a journeyman defender who made 44 appearances for the national team, competed in two World Cups.
He has resigned as coach of Major League Soccer (MLS) side Columbus Crew to take up his new position.
"This is a tremendous honour," Berhalter said in a statement. "Having played for the national team I know what it means to represent our country.
"I believe in our players and our programme, and together we will work to build something special and develop a team that will make our supporters proud."
Berhalter takes the helm of a national team that suffered a debacle when it failed, shockingly, to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
Juergen Klinsmann was fired after the U.S. lost their first two World Cup qualifiers in the weak CONCACAF group.
Former coach Bruce Arena returned in an effort to salvage things but resigned after he could not turn the ship around in time to qualify for Russia.
The failure led to much soul-searching for the U.S. governing body, and cost Sunil Gulati his job as president.
Berhalter, who was the first player for English club Crystal Palace to appear in a World Cup finals, played in the 2002 and 2006 editions.
He played in Europe for 15 years, plying his trade in Germany, the Netherlands and, briefly, England, where he made 14 league appearances for the then second-tier Palace in 2001 and 2002.
Berhalter retired in 2011 and three years later took the head coach job with the Crew, where he quickly carved out a strong reputation, taking the team to the MLS Cup final in 2015.
"I am absolutely convinced Gregg is the right man to lead the national team programme moving forward," national team manager Earnie Stewart said.
"He ticks all the boxes with his background as a person, a successful coach and an accomplished former international player."
Berhalter will be officially introduced in his new job at a media conference on Tuesday.

I'd guess there'll be more trailers for Holy War as time goes on, until its release in late June. The video covers the making of the album, and the thoughts from the band and the producer. Also, near the end (around 3:25), a snippet can be heard, mostly blast beats. You can pre-order Holy War from their Facebook for several different outlets.

This weekend I celebrated the launching of Ask Ajna with it's founders Marian Cartwright and Jae Lynn Rangel both fellow alumnae of the Power of Self leadership program for women created by leadership guru, Marsha Clark.
Ask Ajna is a new iphone application offering career advice for women. I think men will also find it beneficial, particularly in honing negotiation skills.
Ask Ajna stems from Jae Lynn and Marian's desire to share with others what they wish they had known 20 years ago, including how to avoid making the miskates that they made as young women executives. Here are two of my favorites from the list of mistakes women make delivered by Ask Ajna:
- Thinking your work speaks for itself.
- Confusing Effort with Results.
I find that my women clients have a much more difficult time sharing their accomplishments, particularly in a way that emphasizes results. Many fear that taking credit for results diminishes the efforts of others or comes off as bragging. It's easier for them to talk about working hard or ackowledging the contributions of others. Yet accomplishment that goes unrecognized leaves many women ultimately feeling resentful and bewildered.
So, the next time someone asks you what you've been doing, answer with a result you've accomplished that makes you proud. For me, I just helped a client gain the job he wanted by preparing him well for an interview. I love it when I help my clients get great results in their work.

-- The first section of this topic is shown below --
- Distinct mechanisms of ART-related hepatotoxicity (also known as drug-induced liver injury):
- Idiosyncratic reactions and dose-dependent cytotoxicity: most common cause; most ART agents, NRTI, NNRTI, PI (may be dose dependent). Order of risk: ddI>d4T>AZT>ABC>3TC, FTC, TDF (TDF, 3TC, FTC, have minimal liver toxicity);NVP>>EFV=ETR>RPV; TPV>> other PIs (all others similar, including DRV, NFV may be lower);RAL and EVG+COBI have less hepatotoxicity than other agents, including EFV; however hepatoxocity is more common during pregnancy and has been reported with RAL.
- Hypersensitivity reaction: early NVP and ABC (ABC hepatotoxicity can occur in absence of ABC hypersensitivity reaction and among HLAB*5701 -negative pts)
- Mitochondrial toxicity & lactic acidosis: NRTIs; esp. d4T, ddI, AZT (risk factors: female, higher BMI)
- Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS): all agents during CD4 increase
- General risk factors: HBV and/or HCV co-infection (esp. genotype 3) (increase risk from 2-5% to 10-25%), older age, previous hepatotoxicity, alcohol use, cirrhosis, obesity, substance abuse, baseline abnormal transaminases, other hepatotoxic medications (eg: anti-tuberculosis therapy). Note: sustained virologic response on HCV therapy decreases HCV-associated risk.
- NVP hypersensitivity risk factors: female sex and higher CD4 (>250 for women, >400 for men) at time of ART initiation
- ABC hypersensitivity risk factor: HLA B*5701 haplotype
- ddI non-cirrhotic portal hypertension
- Consider non-ART agents: TMP-SMX, amoxicillin-clavulanate, statins, etc. (see http://livertox.nlm.nih.gov… for searchable database on durg induced liver injury)
