This is a time of transition for several of Chicago's suburban orchestras. The Elgin Symphony Orchestra has been patiently auditioning a host of guest conductors to find a replacement for Robert Hanson, who resigned in June, 2011 after 37 years as music director. And the Northwest Symphony Orchestra, which is based in Des Plaines, is saying goodbye to its music director, Paul Vermel, at the end of the present season, his 19th as its artistic chief.
The Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra is somewhat ahead of the curve, having installed a new music director, David Danzmayr, in time to launch the orchestra's 35th season last weekend at Lincoln-Way North Performing Arts Center in south suburban Frankfort. He succeeded Carmon DeLeone, who retired from the orchestra at the end of last season.
The gifted, 32-year-old Austrian conductor brings solid European experience to his post, including three years as assistant conductor of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. He inherited a good orchestra and clearly intends to make the Chicago southland's largest performing arts organization even better. The musical yield at Saturday's season opener suggested he is already on his way and confirmed the wisdom of the orchestra's choice.
Tchaikovsky's music has served as a calling card for many a maestro, but few have used it to galvanize orchestral players as impressively, their first time out of the box, as Danzmayr did on this occasion. The Russian composer's Fifth Symphony proved to be a fine means of displaying his command and the IPO's sturdy corporate mettle.
Building brooding atmosphere from the portentous introduction through the main body of the opening movement, Danzmayr had his strings and brass digging into their instruments with a dark-toned intensity that underscored the Slavic fatefulness of the music. His vigorous and decisive gestures left no doubt as to his natural command of the music or of his musicians.
The well-integrated IPO woodwinds rose to the fore in the heart-on-sleeve lyricism of the slow movement, complete with a supple horn solo from John Fairfield. The third-movement waltz was graceful and lilting. Danzmayr is among the few conductors who properly observe the mezzo-forte (medium loud) marking at the opening of the finale. The movement swept to the double bar in a white heat of collective concentration.
American music is high among Danzmayr's musical priorities at the IPO. And so he began with Walter Piston's "The Incredible Flutist" ballet suite (1938), a charming piece of program music the Chicago Symphony hasn't touched in years. His reading dragged a bit at times, although the players had great fun shouting, barking and high-fiving their way through the circus march section.
Composed just a year after the Piston, Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" proved a congenial solo vehicle for the talented young Croatian guitarist Ana Vidovic. Every guitarist plays this tunefully nostalgic tribute to Old Spain, but few make more of its dancing rhythms or bring out more of the dreamy, improvisatory haze of the slow movement. Ricardo Castaneda did well with the famous English horn solo. Too bad rude audience behavior turned this raptly beautiful Adagio into a duet for coughers and guitar.
Clearly Danzmayr has what it takes to make the Illinois Philharmonic a major player among the orchestras that are providing the greater Chicago area with such a rich abundance of symphonic music. He and the IPO may be just the ticket to lure classical music buffs away from their customary downtown-Chicago migration patterns.
The Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra subscription season continues Jan. 19, Feb. 16-1,. March 23 and May 11; 708-481-7774, ipomusic.org.
Music in the Loft
Another big anniversary was celebrated over the weekend: the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Music in the Loft concert series by the late Fredda Hyman. The founder-director, who died in December 2011, championed up-and-coming chamber musicians and composers in performances given in the loft home she shared with husband Sidney Hyman on the Near West Side.
The series returned to its original site for a concert that included the premiere of "Elegy" for flute, viola and harp, a work written in Fredda Hyman's memory by Chicagoan Lita Grier, the season's composer-in-residence.
Grier wanted to create a work that would, in her words, "capture Fredda's spirit, strength, delicacy and charm." It's not hard to hear those qualities in this wistfully lyrical piece, which had CSO principal flutist Mathieu Dufour and violist Roger Chase soaring and intertwining over the broken chords of harpist Nuiko Wadden's accompaniment. A fragment of "Juliet's Death," from Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet," turns up about midway through the 13-minute work – a reference to the dedicatee's years as a dancer with American Ballet Theatre.
Some fuzzy viola intonation failed to mar the touching effect of Grier's homage, which shared the program with Arnold Bax's "Phantasy Sonata," Toru Takemitsu's "And Then I Knew 'Twas Wind" and Debussy's Sonata for flute, viola and harp.
The season's remaining concerts take place in the series' new home, Suite 801 of the Fine Arts Building, 410 S. Michigan Ave. Dates are Jan. 20, March 10 and April 7; 312-919-5030, musicintheloft.org.

CANTON Mary E. Rain, Republican candidate for St. Lawrence County district attorney, said she is renewing her challenge to District Attorney Nicole M. Duve to debate each others qualifications and records after Mrs. Duve appeared at the county Democratic Committees fall dinner Friday evening.
The only issue that matters in this campaign is getting justice for victims and putting criminals in jail, Ms. Rain said. I have a record of success; my opponent has a record of failure.
Ms. Rain is taking aim at Ms. Duves record, calling her opponents time in office incompetent, disorganized and ineffective.
Ms. Rain said that since 2008, St. Lawrence County has had 444 cases dismissed, 10 acquittals at trial and 267 reductions on felony cases alone.
My opponent is desperately trying to distract the voters from her terrible job performance as district attorney, Ms. Rain said. All volunteers who attend my rallies and events, including former victims, law enforcement, firefighters, attorneys and citizens seeking justice, all know my opponents dismal performance while in office must end.
Ms. Rain said that as DA, she will offer the county fast-track felonies, and ensure swift justice by using technology to improve the offices efficiency.
If any of you, your spouse, your child, your parent, your loved one is a victim of crime tonight, who would you want prosecuting your case? Ms. Rain said. My opponent may forget about your case, fail to indict the criminals responsible, or drop the ball at trial. I think about it every day, and that is why I ran for district attorney.

When working on the figure, Ted Seth Jacobs instructs the students in a progression of increasingly complex concepts, introducing one at a time beginning with the envelope, the block-in, and contours; moving on to a tonal study and a color wash; and finally, the piece-by-piece development of a completed work. He starts each exercise with a step-by-step demonstration. The students watch intently, occasionally questioning, taking notes, and even videotaping for later reference. For the next week or two, they paint or draw based on the new lesson while Jacobs offers individual critiques. They need to achieve a degree of skill with each idea before proceeding to the next level, and the amount of time involved varies. Jacobs moves on only when the students have an adequate understanding. "I don't start with a fixed agenda, a fixed schedule," he remarks. "I respond to the students' needs at any given moment and follow what they seem to need. My feeling about teaching is that the process doesn't take place unless there is a transfer of knowledge from the teacher's mind to the student's."
This idea is a contrast to what Jacobs calls the "cassette method" of teaching. "That is what I think of as the university style," he says, "when the teacher gives the information at a certain rate of speed over the course of the term, as if a cassette were playing. It is up to the students to get it or not–the teacher just keeps going. Whereas in my method, I do my utmost to make sure that the information goes into the person's mind. My objective is making the student capable of teaching him- or herself."
By creating teachers as well as artists, Jacobs hopes to breathe new life into the classical art instruction that he thinks is fading away. The artist elaborates, "My teachers at the Art Students League of New York in Manhattan all were basically trained in Europe or in that tradition that goes back hundreds or thousands of years. I had the benefit of getting that traditional knowledge, but around a hundred years ago, there was a break. Late in the 19th century, artists got the idea that the painted image need no longer be connected to the visual image. As a result, the teachers who were trained in the old ways died off, and most of the younger people went into some abstract style, so there was a break in that evolutionary chain. I feel it is my duty to try and pass on what I have learned so that body of knowledge won't be lost to the next generations."
That is not to say that Jacobs advocates blind acceptance of tradition. In fact, he thinks that unquestioning adherence to the past produces weak art. "It doesn't have the vitality of fresh discovery," he claims. "Hopefully, my students will take what I teach them and develop it and push it further. I would look at what my teachers said to do, but if the subject didn't look like that to me, I'd try to figure out what it did look like. I like to think I discarded the parts of what I was taught that didn't agree with what I saw in nature."
This reinterpretation developed into the personal style that Jacobs calls "restructured realism." "It is looking very intensively at my own perceptions and trying to find out what I am seeing rather than trying to squeeze my seen world into some sort of norm," he comments. "I learn what nature looks like by looking at it and trying to match up what I am doing on the canvas to what I see before me. The restructured realism style is trying to strip away my preconceptions of the world as much as humanly possible in order to see only what remains, what I am actually perceiving."
Through this continual process of comparing what he saw on the canvas to what he saw before him, Jacobs eventually noticed consistencies, and from those he codified his approach to painting. "If over and over you see something happening in an unexpected way, you realize this is the way it works, and through a process of observation and synthesis, you can find principles," he says. Principles is a magic word for this artist. It encompasses both the manner of his painting as well as a more fundamental purpose for his art. Jacobs' principles identify specifics of how he thinks a painting should be crafted, and the proper application of those techniques is equivalent to a successfully completed work, one that he describes as "when a nonartist sees it, his or her jaw drops in wonder at the exquisite quality of it."
Jacobs' basic principles deal with light, the actions of light, how the form is put together, and how a body is structured. "They are simple ideas, really, in simple language, but," he chuckles, "their manifestation in nature is fiendishly complex." The first necessity is to instill in his students the ability to register and recognize the actions of light. "There is no survival need to think about light," he says. "If you look at my smock, it is a blue smock, but if you want to paint it, it breaks down into an infinite number of variations. The process of sight requires light and form because light by itself is invisible, and form without light is invisible. You can't see light unless it hits something. So in order for vision to take place, you need both, light and something for light to strike."
Comprehension of this symbiotic relationship between light and form is crucial to Jacobs' style because without it his system of observation and analysis of nature compared to the canvas is moot. He explains, "All light comes from some energy source. It arrives with a direction, coming from that source, and travels, basically for our purposes, in straight rays. Traveling through space, the light loses intensity, and since it comes from one direction, and for our purposes all human forms are to some degree curved, that means that every millimeter, every atom of that form, is turned toward that straight beam at a different angle. Since all parts are turned at a different angle, the values, the intensities, of light, have to change constantly to make the form go round. If you model forms by making the center lightest and gradually darker toward the edge, that will make forms go round, but it has nothing to do with light or the direction of light. It is not a visually perceived form, it is a tactile approach. My style is purely based on the visual–form as shown to us by the effects of light. One is as important as the other."
In addition to a form's connection to light, an understanding of the structure of the form itself is also essential. "Many students say they need to learn anatomy as one of the most important skills for painting the figure, and in fact," Jacobs says, "I think it is one of the least important." Instead, he teaches structure. "That is how a form grows, how it is put together on the body, how it moves, and so on, which is entirely different from anatomy," he states. "You can know anatomy as well as a surgeon, but if you don't know structure, you won't be able to draw. If you don't know any anatomy but you do know structure, you can draw like Michelangelo." Structure, Jacobs goes on to say, is not limited to the human shape; rather it applies to all organic forms, be they flowers, animals, vegetables, or humans.
To paint this variety of the physical world, Jacobs uses the many pigments available. Unlike other instructors who suggest students use a limited palette and slowly build in more color, he advocates an extended palette right from the start, although not quite the 60 or so colors that Jacobs himself uses. "The problem with a limited palette is that you just can't suggest the variety of nature if you don't have certain tube colors," he notes. "The painting will look like your collection of tubes instead of the tonalities of nature." Jacobs makes the point that he changes value by adding color, and whenever he changes value, he also adjusts the hue and chroma. Altering these three elements in tandem, the artist contends, is the only way to avoid a monochromatic effect. "For example," he says, "Dali is an artist who painted basically in black and white. He used colors, but he didn't change the hue and chroma. He only changed the value."
As a supplement to hue, value, and chroma, Jacobs includes another monitor, a legacy from the more abstract styles he experimented with in his youth, that he calls "field effect." "A field effect is the effect of contiguous tones upon one another and the eye's receptors," he shares. "A field effect is a living process in the eyes in the sense that none of the tones we see is invariable. All are influenced by everything that is around, even by our emotional state. Nothing is fixed." For Jacobs, the field effect represents what the eye actually transmits, what he describes as "the flashes, the sparks of consciousness, that happen when we look at something." Although the artist admits it would be impossible to replicate with paint something that takes place in the mind, that is the situation he wants the field effects to convey in his paintings, in a similar manner to the Impressionists forcing optical mixing to the canvas itself. "I am trying to suggest not only what passes through the lens of the eye but more what actually is perceived in the mind," he says. "To suggest field effects is another reason why I have to change all three tones–value, hue, and chroma–at once because otherwise I wouldn't get the same field effects. Elements of the work wouldn't vibrate against one another sufficiently.
"I am interested in the reflections and vibrations that are thrown back and forth between the objects," he continues. "I think what people should see in my paintings is something shining, dynamic. The world is a marvelous-looking place, and I want my paintings to uplift the heart with the beauty of light and color, the beauty of the form, and vibrating colors. Art is primarily a sensory message. It should, perhaps, indirectly reinforce the idea of the sacredness of the human being."

Product Description
Gel pen. This was the altar at which my middle school classmates and I worshipped. Years later I bristle with excitement when the Curvaceous Translucent Gel Pen touches my fingertips. The writing: so smooth. My handwriting: so sophisticated. The grip: so rubberized. I no longer use the gel pen to draw bubble letters in my notebook and dot exclamation marks with hearts, but when I lean back in my ergonomic chair and click the pen with the attitude of a CEO, I do conclude that there are some things you never grow out of.

Polemical writer, born at Villefranche (Rhône), France, 1797; died at Aix-en-Provence, 1872. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1826; taught literature and rhetoric in several colleges and wrote extensively. apart from a few didactic and devotional books like "Cours élémentaire de littérature" (Avignon, 1860) and "Les fleursde Marie" (Paris, 1863), his works are largely polemical and bear on all the burning questions of his day, the monopoly of the University of France, the state faculties of theology, the Organic Articles, the liberty of association, Communism, Paganism in education, etc. The most important is undoubtedly Les Sociétés secrètes" published after the author's death (Avignon, 1874-1876), re-edited and brought up to date by Claudio Janet (Paris, 1880 and 1881). Deschamps sees in European Freemasonry, whose origins he traces back to Manichæism, a baneful force working, under the cover of philanthropy, not only against religion but also against the social order, patriotism, and even morality. If his conclusions are severe, they are not advanced at random, but supported by numerous facts and grave authorities.

Rabbi Meir Birnbaum is a scholar of tefillah and mashgiach of a major yeshivah. In this splendidly useful phrase-by-phrase treatment, he combines his scholarship and experience to shed light on the prayers that matter enormously to most people: the Shemoneh Esrai prayers of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Rabbi Birnbaum combs the major commentators and adds his own knowledge and sensitivity to produce a volume that belongs alongside every machzor. It is slim, but packed with information, inspiration, background and the ideas and intent that every serious Jew wants to pour into his Yamim Noraim prayers.
It is rare indeed to find an English-language volume that offers such a combination of clarity and depth, authoritatively presented in a down to earth manner. Rabbi Birnbaum is both a thinker and a teacher, and both those qualities are beautifully displayed in this work. Not only does he offer invaluable ideas, he is practiced in presenting them. There is nothing patronizing or condescending in this book; it reads like a good friend baring his own soul, and in the process we are swept along to join him in present our most heartfelt entreaties to Our Father Our King, on the days when He longs for us to approach Him.

I can forgive just about any movie if it has artfully crafted slow motion in it. So, it may come as no surprise that the parts in Wes Anderson films that always get me are the slow motion shots. No matter what I think of each individual film, they always make a bit misty-eyed. In honor of my cinematic emotional vulnerability check out Alejandro Prullansky's compilation of Wes Anderson's slow motion shots. Enjoy!

I have finally allowed myself to begin re-reading Catherine Newman's Waiting For Birdy. I have been eyeing it on the shelf, putting off reading it the way you would put off eating the last Dove bar in the freezer, knowing that once it's gone you won't have it to look forward to anymore.
When I read it, I laugh until I cry. I don't mean that I laugh until my eyes water, I mean I CRY: my lip heads up toward my nose, my nose scrunches up toward my eyes, my eyes squeeze to a squint and tears come pouring out, and I'm making a peculiar sob-laugh sound that reminds me of those old movies where someone needs to give the girl a good hard slap to help her get a hold of herself. Usually it ends with me coughing and gagging and needing to set the book down for a little while to recover, explaining to an alarmed Paul, "It's just so funny" and weeping some more into my handkerchief.
I didn't want to re-read it too early in the pregnancy, but pregnancy is the perfect time for reading it so I didn't want to put it off too long and miss it, either. I thought I'd wait as long as I could, ideally until I was in the stretch where it feels like I've been pregnant for a million years and there are still a million years left to go. And here we are, right in that place.
I can't help but oversell the book, even though I know that's exactly the sort of thing that, when someone else does it to me, makes me read the book too critically, thinking, "Well, it's good, but I don't know why she made such a huge fuss about it." It would have been better if you'd discovered it on your own, as I did. I don't remember how I found the column "Bringing Up Ben & Birdy" on BabyCenter--maybe it was mentioned in one of the newsletters BabyCenter sends out, or maybe I was just browsing the site as I sometimes do obsessively when I'm pregnant. In any case, I found it. And within 24 hours I was tapping my foot impatiently, waiting for the book to be shipped to me from Amazon.com as I read through years of archived columns, taking breaks only to email everyone I knew to say "Have you read this?" It was like finding religion, and I was the intrusive new convert who couldn't stop talking about her experience.
All right, that's enough of a break. I'm going back to reading it now.

So God created human beings in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:27) God has made each of us beautiful even with our imperfections.

People of importance.
I cannot speak to how others were raised, or how they choose to live their lives, but I can say without a doubt that there is a pecking order of importance.
That order of importance to me and how I was raised was based upon what the person did and how they helped others. Where they greedy and prospered on the backs of others or did they share the wealth and prosper everyone a little bit?
Do we need a variety of people to do jobs? Yes. Are we all born equals? Yes. Do we remain equal?
It is my belief that we all might have been born an equal, but the way we have lived our lives and the people we stepped on getting there defines our importance.
The more people you step upon, the more you put down for the sake of personal wealth and not the well-being of the whole lowers or raises your importance.
The police and others who protect us all are always on the top of the picking order. They are expected to exchange their lives for our own and the lives of our families.
A doctor doesn't put themselves in harms way, but they do patch us up the best that they can. So they are the exception to the exchanging their lives for our own rule.
The lives of our elected officials are similarly above ours as they are our elected leaders who are to represent our values and way of life.
There will always be bad cops, doctors, firemen and political leaders. They are human after all and fundamentally flawed, but they are also more important than the average business owner, auto repair man or security guard.
It is only an act of importance to think oneself an equal to those who provide protection or elected leadership.
Unless you are an Einstein, stephen hawking or some such ground breaking scientist, you are more or less like everyone else... An equal to everyone else.

Rothbury's Pare shows what is possible when combining Alfresco and the SproutCore framework. While it's possible that it is exactly what you need, it's more likely a foundation for something that can be customized to meet your organization's specific needs. Pare equips its users with a lightning-fast and feature-rich user interface for modern mobile devices and desktop clients alike. The speed rivals a native desktop application.
What sets Pare apart from the handful of other add-on Alfresco interfaces? Quite simply, it's the architecture. Pare is built using the SproutCore javascript framework which shifts the processing of business logic from the server over to the client. The end product is a fast, efficient, and scalable web application that feels like a native desktop application.
We encourage you to sign up for a login and take a test-drive of Pare. We have built Pare with the assumption that you will want to add, remove, and/or alter functionality based on your organization's specific needs. Pare provides the foundation and from there, the possibilities are endless.
- Pare demonstrates the power of combining Alfresco with the functionality of SproutCore, a multi-device HTML5 and Javascript framework.
- The application equips the user with a lightning-fast and feature-rich user interface for modern mobile devices and desktop clients alike. The speed rivals a native desktop application.
- Provides a framework for developing application/vertical specific features for document-management systems
- Provides powerful workflow, task, and document management
- Allows the user with a robust interaction with the Alfresco file system that includes audio/video/text previews, document editing, and file upload/download capabilities
- Smartly pre-loads data in the background. When you navigate to a folder, the application automatically and asynchronously loads data in the sub folders so when you navigate deeper into the folder structure, the data is already there.
- Intuitively invalidates data for each folder at set intervals essentially providing a timed cache.

Spring break is the time of year when students have a week off of class and for many, that means heading straight to the beach to party with their friends.
Not only is spring break a favorite holiday for many students, it is a panic-inducing holiday for many parents. They worry about their kids drinking too much, engaging in inappropriate behavior and traveling to locations that are not necessarily safe for young girls and boys looking to have a good time without adult supervision.
Fortunately, there is an alternative to the typical spring break. For those who are not interested in a week they may not remember much of, and for parents who want their children to do something meaningful with their time off, alternative spring break is the answer.
What is Alternative Spring Break?
Alternative spring break is exactly what it sounds like: an alternative to the typical sun, sand and beach spring break that so many students plan.
Alternative spring break provides students with an opportunity to travel to an as-yet unfamiliar place and help those in need. This alternative to the typical spring break means that students will be volunteering during their spring break, helping those who need it while enriching their own lives, too. This type of spring break trip usually lasts a week.
There are many different types of opportunities available for alternative spring breakers, from building houses in countries where natural disasters have displaced thousands of families to providing care for children or even helping a community set up a new school.
Each year there are hundreds of options for students interested in taking an alternative spring break. Many of these are based in other countries, particularly in South America. However, there are also plenty of these alternative trips available in the United States.
One organization that offers this opportunity to students on spring break each year is Habitat for Humanity. The location is different each year, but the purpose is the same: to help rebuild lives by building homes for those in need. In recent years, Habitat for Humanity has offered students on spring break the chance to build along the Gulf Coast where hurricanes and other horrible weather phenomenon have destroyed entire neighborhoods.
Church groups and other charitable organizations also offer students the opportunity to join them in making the world a better place during spring break. You may contact these groups directly or, if you want help deciding who to work with, high school and college student affairs offices can provide you with information regarding local alternative spring break options.
Who Offers Spring Break Alternative Vacations?
In addition to Habitat for Humanity, there is a wide variety of nationwide and international organizations that offer spring break alternatives. One such organization is i-to-i vacations, which allows students to sign up for a week building homes in locations such as Honduras, conserve natural lakes and habitats in Guatemala or work with sea turtles in Costa Rica. Every student that volunteers during their spring break with i to i vacations is able to see a bit of the world while giving back to it at the same time.
The United Way also offers a spring break alternative, which is has done since 2006 when it collaborated with MTV to create Storm Corps, a group of students who headed to the Gulf Coast to help clean up and rebuild after hurricanes such as Katrina ravaged the coast and displaced thousands of families and destroyed entire cities and towns.

What Does an Alternative Spring Break Offer to Me?
Students who volunteer during spring break are offered plenty; the most important being the opportunity to say that you helped to rebuild or save a life. Additionally, those who travel on spring break to do work
in another country have the opportunity to see a bit more of the world. Not only will you have time to explore after working each day, you will be exposed to a way of life that is unfamiliar to you. Different cultures can enrich your life and make you a better, better-rounded person. Finally, you get the opportunity to do something good with your time that will offer you a lifetime of memories. Who doesn't want the opportunity to tell their children someday that they spent their time building houses for the homeless in a South American community?

Fellony Silas Charged With Felony Battery After a Bar Attack
If you believe in God, I highly suggest that you not name your daughter Fellony. Why? Because if I were God, I would most definitely make sure that a child named Fellony wound up arrested for Felony because the irony and hilarity is just too amazing. Figure someone so lonely, such as God, would love to make things like this take place. I mean, who wouldn't?
Fellony Silas, 30, was arrested on Sunday after smashing a glass on a woman's forehead inside an Indiana bar. The victim was left with cuts and bruises, but one hell of a story.
The victim who was six years Silas' junior said that the she had bumped into the ironically named attacker on the dance floor, which then led to an argument. Silas went to jail where felons belong, while the victim was taken to the hospital.
I hate to admit it, but I'm a little ashamed because my girlfriend and I have a dog who we named Felon (female). I thought our bitches name was definitely fitting, but I can assure you she's never smashed a glass over anyone's head.
