What It Is
Make a Sound Animals is a wooden book for the youngest of learners. The book is designed to help children practice the pairing of animals to their animal sound. Each page in the 10-page book features a painting of an animal, the name of the animal, and the sound it makes. Kids are encouraged to also make the sound that animal makes. For example, on the page with the slithery snake, kids can make a "ssssss" sound.
Why It's Fun
We really like the style of the images and the wooden pages of this book. They give it a nostalgic feel. The whimsical illustrations will certainly engage young children.
Who It's For
Make a Sound Animals is for ages 12 months and up.
What To Be Aware Of
Manhattan Toy produces several other wooden books, including Rainbow Zoo Friends and Count & Play Puppies. Each is sold separately.

Southern California environment news and trends
Lawsuit invokes California Environmental Quality Act to oppose medical marijuana ban
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
There have been a myriad of arguments made in California courts supporting the cultivation and distribution of medical marijuana. But as reported in the Contra Costa Times, a lawsuit filed in San Bernadino Superior Court by Riverside attorney Letitia Pepper is most certainly a first. Her suit claims that the county's March 2011 ban on marijuana dispensaries and outdoor cultivation violates the California Environmental Quality Act.
"I've actually just found even more evidence to use in my favor," said Pepper, director of Crusaders for Patients' Rights, in a phone call earlier today. "I have an article recently published in a scientific journal about the carbon footprint of medical marijuana cultivation. It shows how 1 percent of all electricity in America is being used to grow cannabis. Not only is that a lot of greenhouse gasses being created, but it makes for a lesser product," she explained. "What people don't realize is that cannabis grown outside is better medically. I've spoken to several growers, and they all swear by it."

Guitarists and vocalists Ryan Green and Cameron Hood are Ryanhood
The two guys who make up the acoustic group Ryanhood seem to enjoy the confusion that their name creates. They've seen themselves billed as if they were one person named "Ryan Hood", and people sometimes confuse it with "Robin Hood", but as long as those people give their music a try, Ryan Green and Cameron Hood don't really mind.

Ryan Green in the AZPM Radio Studio
Both share songwriting duties in the group, with Ryan taking the role of lead guitarist and Cameron singing more leads. Their years of hard work busking and street performing are paying off with the release of their newest CD, an album called After Night Came Sun, which is their fourth album to date.
They'll be celebrating the its release with a concert at The Rialto Theatre in downtown Tucson on Friday, November 4th, joined by special guests The Silver Thread Trio.

Learning online is different than learning in a classroom. That's why at Strayer University, we've spent thousands of hours perfecting the way we teach and support our students online.
Maximum Flexibility
If you can get online, you can get to class. That's one of the primary benefits of our online classes. They work with your schedule. 24 hours a day. Seven days a week. From anywhere in the world. Simply log in and learn.
Personal Support
Learning online doesn't mean you're learning alone. We've developed online features to ensure our students can collaborate, communicate, and feel connected to their professors and peers. And all of our online students have access to our on-campus support and resources.
The Best of Both Worlds
While we've gone to great lengths in perfecting the way we teach online, we also understand that some students may prefer a classroom setting for certain courses. That's why we offer students the opportunity to take a combination of online and on-campus classes. It's all about finding what works best for you.
Effective Learning
A landmark study published by the Federal Department of Education found that students who took a combination of classes online and on campus performed better than students taking the same courses in a classroom setting alone.

Good stuff

Bought these for a bachelorette party! Everyone loved them. They lasted pretty well throughout the night, we actually left a trail of pink feathers everywhere we went! :)
Smaller than expected
By Chholy
from Wilmington, DE
About Me Quality Oriented
I'll be using these for a bachelorette party. According to the pictures, I expected a boa much more lush and thick than was received. The density of the feathers is about half of what is shown in the pictures. It is still a perfect, beautiful color, and will work well.
Funky Fun!
By PJ the DJ
from Barnum, MN
See all my reviews
This item is used in our photobooth & is loved by everyone. The only thing I don't like about any of the boas, is that small feathers fall off throughout the night & then there's a mess on the floor.
Loved the bold color

By Event Planning Mommy

Boas sheds.

There were feathers everywhere. The boas are not constructed well enough to stay together. I assumed some amount of feather loss but this was ridiculous.

A waterproof, breathable technology utilizing a polyurethane (PU) coating that consists of a tri-component, multi-layer formula for waterproof protection, moisture permeability and durability. HyVent® technology has been lab- and field-tested to ensure the best possible durability and function while also maintaining an optimum level of breathability. To test the level of waterproofness, we subjected HyVent® garments to 20 wash cycles, where garments retained an average of more than 60 PSI on the waterproofing Mullens test.
Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

The upheaval from the legislative session continues to reverberate as lawmakers look at what it did for their prospects in 2014. Voters are wavering, Republicans are openly discussing a course-correction next year and the N.C. Democratic Party is trying to capitalize. And now, it's showing in legislative district polls.
Public Policy Polling, a Democratic firm based in Raleigh, recently looked at eight state Senate districts held by Republicans, finding two leaning Democrat and six more in the toss-up category. PPP pollster Tom Jensen writes that "the political landscape has shifted in such a way that Democrats have a lot more opportunities to eat into the Republican majority next year than could have ever been imagined even six months ago."

If you're practically losing your head in excitement over Fox's new series, "Sleepy Hollow," then you're in luck: The network is holding a contest in which three cities will win an exclusive advanced screening of the mystery-adventure drama!
Fans of the upcoming show can demand that their city be one of the three to get an advanced screening by voting for their place of residence. The three cities that have the highest online vote tally by Monday, August 19 at 5PM PT will receive free advanced screenings in local theaters prior to the show's Monday, September 16 premiere.
Though the official announcement of FOX's fall schedule won't be happening until Monday, the network has released a sneak peek of the new programming it has picked up and plans to air next season (2013-2014). And it looks like "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," a comedy starring "One Life to Live's" Melissa Fumero (ex-Adriana Cramer) made the cut! Read on for details on that as well as the three other comedies and five dramas FOX has given teasers for!

Come and see the new spot Anna Maria, Bradenton, Longboat Key, and Sarasota is talking about… The Bridge Street Bistro.
|A great place for dinnerReviewed September 29, 2011 NEWEveryone in our group loved their meal. The grouper was excellent. We did not have a reservation but got seated right away. Visited September 2011
This is not your parents Anna Maria Reviewed September 20, 2011person found this review helpful Wow. I thought I was in the wrong place at first. There is a very happening upscale beach bar down stairs, so I asked and was told, yes I was in the right place. I went upto the third floor and was amazed. Very elegant, excellent staff; Wow is the best way to sum it all up. I took my servers suggestions..Carpaccio in trufle oil, beet and goat cheese salad and the main course of Grouper with a Key Lime Buerre Blanc sauce. An incredible taste, that they even paired a wine with that was amazing. Then I find out they are not locals, they are from St. Armands, that solved the mystery. If you want all St. Armands has to offer without the pretentiousness of being there, this is the place. A staff that is paying attention without being pushy. An amazing location, huge windows that look out over the gulf. And just tremendous cuisine at a steal of a price. I will be back as often as my travels allow. Visited September 2011
Great Sunset & great food Reviewed September 13, 2011
We had a very nice time here. The food was very good as was the service. My husband loved the gumbo so much he had it at the bar for lunch the next day. The owner was always there and very involved. Visited August 2011

The boiler & radiation sizing is best matched for the heat loss in BTU/hour at the 1-3% coldest hours of the year, which will typically occur in 1-3 hour stretches in the pre-dawn hours of the coldest day of the year, never for 24 hour stretches.
To come up with an approximate annual fuel use number you need to know the BTU/hr at design condition, the average efficiency of the boiler, and the total number of heating degree-days (base 65) that you would experience in a year based on the weather history. As an example, let's use your 30,000BTU/hr as your design condition heat load, 90% as the average boiler efficiency, and use nearby Medford OR for design temp and weather history data.
According to table 1A on p17, your 99th percentile outside design temperature per ACCA Manual-J is +24F. Using 65F for an outside "balance" temperature base between heating & cooling loads, that's
(65 - 24=) 41F heating degrees, at which your load would be 30,000 BTU/hr.
But in a 90% boiler it would be burning (30,000/0.9 =) 33,333 BTU of source fuel or 0.33 therms per hour.
If it were to stay that cold for 24 hours that would indeed be (24 x 0.33=) 8 therms.
But that day would count for 41 heating degree days, so the boiler burns in fact (8/41) = 0.195 therms per heating degree-day.
According to ClimateZone your annual HDD/65F is about 4600 HDD so the amount of heating fuel you would burn in a year is (4600 x 0.195=) 897 therms/year.
The coldest average winter month is January, at 834 heating degree days, so a peak mid-winter monthly billing period would run about (834 x 0.195=) 163 therms/month, but less on average over the heating season.
A design heat load of 30,000 @ 24F would be slightly to the high side for a tight 1600' 2x4 house with an average glazing fraction and double pane windows, but is realistic at higher air infiltration rates. With almost any 1970s vintage home it's worth air-sealing and spot-insulating, and either adding storm windows (low-E storm windows are even more cost-effective with a quicker payback but cost more up front), or if there's no other way around it, replacing some windows with a U0.30 or lower window.
If yours is an open floor plan and you have lower than average electricity rates it may be slightly cheaper to heat with a ductless mini-split heat pump, which should have an average system coefficient of performance (COP) of 3.0-3.5 in your area. With an older R22 or R12 refrigerant heat pump with ducts the odds are you were only getting a COP of 2.0-2.5. Whether condensing gas v.s. split-system heat pump is cheaper depends on your local electricity and gas rates, and it may be a toss-up.

I may have an answer regarding your USB issue, Barfle. I had the same thing, and it was because of our network drive mapping. My next available drive locally was F, but that happened to be one of the network drives as well. I found a way to get the USB key to be recognized as a consistent letter so that it actually works plug & play.Originally posted by barfle:
Well, they do have a published policy that says "no streaming media," but this is the first time I've had it enforced against me.
I was usually able to pick up various programs like NASA feeds and the occasional NPR program, as well as beethoven.com. I know there were several people who streamed spinner.
Another interesting feature of my new computer - When I first started here, my PC ran NT. It had a USB port on the front panel, but NT doesn't recognize USB (something I realized two years before I got the job), so I didn't really care much. I eventually got three computers working at home, and they all have functioning USB ports.
If you remember the "gadgets" thread, I linked to a Swiss Army knife with a USB flash memory in it. Well, I have one of those, and it's pretty cool, but it didn't even light up when I plugged it in at work.
They upgraded my computer to XP Pro about three months ago, and my USB port started working. Very cool.
Now, with the new computer, when I plug in the flash memory, it blinkss like the menu is being read, I get a beep and the "safely remove hardware" icon shows up in the tray, but do you think the drive ever shows up in "My Computer?" Not in this life.
However, I have a DVD burner, so transporting data back and forth is still easy. I just wonder what benefit the IT department is going to get from all the restrictions.

{qtube vid:=bMfBjqsOdK8&feature=plcp}
In our Purchase of Pass segment this week, Chris Gray is joined by John Edwards, CEO of Residex, to look at multiple properties on a single title.
Is buying a single property with multiple streams of income a good investment strategy, or are there some downsides that you might not be aware of?
This Bondi Beach property consists of a three-bedroom, two-bedroom and a one-bedroom unit in a converted house style property with double frontage. It's 6.9 kilometres from the city and one kilometre from the action. The property has recently been renovated and receives $2,200 per week rent and it has an asking price of $1.5 million plus.
Chris Gray: John, what's the main attraction of going for a property with multiple streams of income on the one title?
John Edwards: What this is all about is the yield that's available, and the yield is very attractive. I had a look at this particular property on the internet, and I was a little bit, frankly, disturbed by it. There looked to me to be some inherent problems with it. I also had a question whether it was, in fact, approved by council, and that's something that everybody ought to consider very carefully. Then I looked at the structure of it all and can see some cracking above some windows and some other things, and so I was a little concerned about the property. Would the rate of return really be there once I fixed it up, and would I be really able to rent it out as it currently was and get the income stream? If I couldn't, I wouldn't think it is worth $1.5 million. There are a couple of lessons in that: you need to check your council, and make sure the building is really sound. Remember one other thing: unless you can strata this, you're not going to get the capital growth out of it that you really ought to get.
Chris Gray: Because ultimately you can't sell it.
John Edwards: Absolutely. And there are rules with regard to strata-ing that you have to remember. I didn't think this particular property was strata-able at the end of the day. I was a bit concerned about its structure. I loved its return, however, I passed.
Chris Gray: Typically with niche properties, is it something that might get capital growth, or is it a function of that particular property?
John Edwards: Capital growth is a function of demand, and by definition, for a niche property the number of people who are going to look at it or bid for it is smaller. You are unlikely to get the same level of capital growth out of it. These properties are return properties. Make sure you get a sufficient return to account for the fact that your capital growth is going to be less.
Chris Gray: Certainly the other downside you've got to think of is quite often the banks will treat these as commercial, so they might only lend 70% and there might be higher interest rates as well. This is not an investment for the everyday investor and will only suit a certain type of person that has extra cash for deposit and who wants a higher yield as well as some growth. It's a fantastic yield in an ok area of a great suburb, so for some diversification I would purchase, subject to checking out some comparable sales to confirm price.
Chris Gray is a buyer's agent at Empire. He is host of Your Property Empire on Fridays on the Sky News Business Channel.

Autism TV… Sort of.
I recently left my longtime career as a local TV news anchor in Baltimore. I was there for 21 years and during that time my daughter was diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (PDD-NOS). So, I thought…hey, wouldn't it be a natural fit if I could take what I know about telling stories and create a television show with kids who are all over the "spectrum." Programming that shows children and families, from all walks of life, dealing with the challenges and uniqueness of autism. And maybe we could give them some help or ideas along the way. And maybe we could educate a mass audience about what makes autism special and why we all should care about these individuals who are all around us.
Well, the big cable channels weren't biting. The production companies I contacted weren't going for it either. I mean, in theory, they liked the idea, but in reality they just couldn't see it being very appealing for the long haul. Of course, I find the subject incredibly appealing and compelling!
Eventually I thought why not do it myself? With the help of a very talented videographer, a guy who knows his way around the web, and many supportive friends…we created Real Look Autism. My version of Autism TV.
Real Look Autism is a video resource for anyone touched by autism. We tell focused and beautifully shot and edited stories about therapies and strategies that are working for children on the spectrum. We look for even the smallest measure of success. Our slogan goes like this: "You tell us something that's working for you…and we'll show everyone else". So, because we look for what is "working", our short videos have an element of optimism. And how can you not LOVE these kids, their parents, and the teachers and therapists who are so committed. We keep it real and we aim to spread some hope and understanding.
Real Look Autism.com, thanks for visiting and watching! We hope you LIKE US on Facebook, spread the word and sign up to find out when we premiere another new video.
And besides… we don't even run commercials… at least not yet!

Mary Beth,
Thank you for your post and your efforts. Ilook forward to watching REla Loook Autism.
There may be a mistake in how your post came through. The first hyperlink in your post took me to Autism.com which is website for ARI. Did you mean for that to occur? The second hyperlink, the one that follows your signature took me to your website.

I have 3 grandsons and my oldest has Autism. If it wasn't for my son and I he would have never been diagnosed. My mother and I noticed him going backward and new that something was wrong. He is now and has been in school sice first steps. doing pretty well. ANY VIDIOS OR TV SHOWS YOU KNOW ABOUT I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW ABOUT.
May 25, 2011 at 3:26 pm | #7
You should contact the founder of Autism Speaks –Suzanne and Bob Wright. Bob was once in the TV industry (Former Chairman and CEO, NBC Universal). You could pitch this to him as part of a "get out the word" ongoing campaign to bring autism awareness.. Perhaps he can get you some contacts or even give you a good word. You could try to contact the agency that reps him (speakers bureau).
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

And, by the way, the san t on its back was already changed out to a combo.
Good morning,
While questions regarding trap arm length have been discussed, ironically, at length -- I'm wondering what you folks do to combat tight spacing. This installation was for a stacked washer dryer, and there wasn't much space to work with. I'm wondering what your interpretation is on the trap arm length. If you look at it from the radius bends, it's just under 4" (this is 2" pipe). I'm wondering if it meets the intent.
And, by the way, the san t on its back was already changed out to a combo.
The vent could have gone up inside the stud bay to the right of the washer setup, then you would have had plenty of room.
That's a good point. I considered that; however, what you can't see is the framing above that which would have been prohibitive. I considered 45'ing over to it.
Not here it doesn't. The trap is an S trap or more commonly referred to as a 3/4 S trap and I don't know where the 2" lateral to the right goes but here that would have to be 3"
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
Hi Tom. I've read your points in previous posts regarding S traps and arm length. I understand what you're saying and appreciate your point. The 2" to the right is going to a utility sink, which is also vertically vented.
Anyone who calls THAT an "S" trap, (and it does not even come close to the definition of a "3/4 S" trap), has absolutely no concept of what constitutes an "S" trap. Your installation is no differnent than hundreds, if not thousands or ten thousands, done exactly like that for the same reason. Revising the drain line slightly and using a wall box with the drain at the left end would have made it LOOK prettier but would have done absolutely nothing to make it work better.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
I know you don't believe it but you western plumbers must play by different rules because that don't pass anywhere in the Northeast. Not Maine, not NH, VT or even liberal Mass. Technically the vent sort of makes it not an strap but the piping arrangement does not meet the trap to inlet minimum. Put one together, get out the tape measure and check for yourself. I have failed literally hundreds just like that and so has every inspector in the region.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
A "crown vent" I believe is what that is. It is clearly a violation according to the Uniform Plumbing Code, but it is widely overlooked by
inspectors. Or there might be local libereralizations.
The vent take off is too far back to be considered a true crown vent but you are correct, it is a violation of every code that I know of and I am more than sure that plenty of inspectors overlook it as well but bad plumbing is bad plumbing. I call's them like I see's em
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
I appreciate the feedback. The trap arm is 3". While I'm a stickler for code compliance and building correctly, 1" is a tough sell for reframing a 70 year old house. Rock lath and cement are no fun to deal with.
My normal practice would have been to come up in the bay next to the box; not the same bay. That would have allowed for a longer trap arm, and elimated the need for the extra 45's.

'Even among the Westminster Cathedral Choir's superb records this disc stands out. Perfect chording and ensemble, natural and musical phrasing, spot-on intonation and a glorious tonal blend, make this issue one to treasure' (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)
'This work could not be better sung than, as here, by the choir of Westminster Cathedral' (Contemporary Review)
'The listener can rejoice in the sumptuousness of the Westminster Cathedral sound with none of the anxiety over niggling imperfections that one suffers when hearing almost any other ensemble. The combination of accuracy with mastery of style is unrivalled' (Gramophone Early Music)
'Under James O'Donnell, Westminster Cathedral Choir has developed into what many regard as the nation's finest church choir. This release justifies that reputation. Palestrina's music emerges as more than the stuff of academic legend. There's a vibrancy in the opening Laudate pueri, while Peccantem me quotidie and Tribulationes civitatum both touch deep emotions, and the Mass Ecce ego Johannes radiates noble majesty. We are reminded that Palestrina was a highly individual composer, and every bit as Italian as, say, Monteverdi' (The Sunday Times)
'Joyous performances' (BBC Music Magazine)
'For sheer beauty of sound this recording is unsurpassed' (Gramophone)
'Yet another superb disc from Westminster Cathedral … many consider not only the finest cathedral choir in Britain, but one of the best in the world. The sound is quite glorious' (Goldberg)
Laudate pueri a 8 [6'38]
Peccantem me quotidie [4'38]
Tribulationes civitatum [7'24]

Gloria [4'49]
Credo [7'37]
Sanctus [2'36]

Agnus Dei II [2'38]

Still thought of today as the grand master of the polyphonic style, Palestrina was highly regarded and much published in his lifetime. His output comprises one hundred and four firmly attributed Masses, over three hundred and seventy-five motets, sixty-eight offertories, at least sixty-five hymns, thirty-five Magnificats, four (possibly five) sets of Lamentations, and over a hundred and forty madrigals.
The six-voice Missa Ecce ego Johannes presented here is based on an unknown model. The text 'Ecce ego Johannes', from the Book of Revelation, is used for the chapter (capitulum) at Vespers on All Saints' Day, and it appears elsewhere (in the Sarum books, for example) as an antiphon at Matins for the same feast. The character of Palestrina's setting, however, suggests that it might well have been based on a polyphonic model. It is a powerful, confident work on a par with the Missa Papae Marcelli and Assumpta est Maria—just listen to the very first notes of the Kyrie.
The motets that accompany the Mass show a more festive side to Palestrina, with exuberant melismatic writing.
All of these pieces deserve to be better known and there can be no choir better equipped to show the world the beauty of this music.
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (his name derives from a town not far from Rome) was probably born in 1525 or 1526. After seven years as maestro di cappella at the cathedral of his native town, he went to Rome at the summons of Pope Julius III to become chapelmaster of the Cappella Giulia at St Peters. He later became a singer at the Sistine Chapel but was dismissed by Paul IV on account of his unacceptable married status. After other appointments, Palestrina returned to the Julian Chapel in 1571 as chapelmaster. He died in 1594.
Still thought of today as the grand master of the polyphonic style, Palestrina was highly regarded and much published in his lifetime. His output comprises one hundred and four firmly attributed Masses, over three hundred and seventy-five motets, sixty-eight offertories, at least sixty-five hymns, thirty-five Magnificats, four (possibly five) sets of Lamentations, and over a hundred and forty madrigals. His publications bear dedications to men of great power: discerning and wealthy patrons of the arts such as Guglielmo Gonzaga, foreign princes and potentates (there are two books of Masses inscribed to Philip II of Spain) and, increasingly in his later years, popes.
The six-voice Missa Ecce ego Johannes is based on an unknown model. The text Ecce ego Johannes, from the Book of Revelation, is used for the chapter (capitulum) at Vespers on All Saints Day, and it appears elsewhere (in the Sarum books, for example) as an antiphon at Matins for the same feast. The character of Palestrinas setting, however, suggests that it might well have been based on a polyphonic model. It is a powerful, confident work, something evident from the very first notes of the Kyrie. As with the Missa Papae Marcelli, it is a model of Palestrinian word-setting. There is a constant, subtle use of homophonic writing throughout which gives it tremendous rhetorical power. A good example is the reflective chordal opening of the second Kyrie, which not only contrasts with the more flowing, transparent textures of the Christe before it, but gives rise to imitative writing, out of which arises the climactic second phrase of the cantus, soaring up the octave.
The Gloria and Credo are customarily characterized by more declamatory writing on account of the length of their texts. In this case, so interwoven is the use of homophony and imitation in the various subdivisions of the choral ensemble that it is hard to say where one ends and the other begins. Thus it is that the exultant ascending scales at rex caelestis in the Gloria arise completely naturally out of the more static chordal writing preceding them, and the same is true of the contrapuntal writing following the block chordal Domine Deus. There is a marvellous flowering, using a descending scalic motif, at the final phrase of the Gloria, like an illuminated initial placed at the end of a text rather than at the beginning. Such scalic figures also appear in order to decorate the otherwise straightforward cadences at et incarnatus est and et homo factus est in the Credo, and the reduced-scoring Crucifixus develops them further. The triple-time of the Et in Spiritum Sanctum is a real surprise after such delicate tracery, though this lasts only until Et unam sanctam.
The Sanctus is powerful and majestic; again descending and ascending scalic figures feature prominently, and they give a special colour to this section when doubled in thirds, sixths or tenths, as at et terra, or at several places in the substantial Benedictus. Less effusive melodically, the Agnus Dei is triumphant and thrilling. The opening of the second recalls the beginning of the second Kyrie.
Tribulationes civitatum and Peccantem me quotidie are both penitential motets. The former appeared in the 1584 Motectorum liber quintus, published in Rome, the latter in Motettorum liber secundus, published twelve years earlier in Venice. Both make use of soaring melodic phrases and quite abrupt harmonic and textural contrasts: the block chords at Timor in Tribulationes civitatum, for example, which clearly make the word stand out, or the subsequent harmonic change at et super liberos. At the end of the first part there is a real sense of imploring for mercy at the words Domine miserere, characterized by a descending motif. In the second part such procedures are continued; most remarkable of all is the sudden harmonic stasis caused by the use of pedal notes at iniuste egimus; this is followed by two sequential descents onto bare fifths at iniquitatem fecimus. Peccantem me quotidie is even more haunted by the need for repentance and the fear of death: the words timor mortis conturbat me (so chillingly reiterated by the fifteenth-century Scottish poet William Dunbar in his Lament for the Makers) are set in simple block chords, but move symbolically into new harmonic territory. There is an audible darkening, so to speak, with the despairing descending phrases of nulla est redemptio, but with the startling plea for mercy at Miserere mei, Deus, the end of the work is bathed in the light of hope: these two motets seem to incarnate the dictum of the Orthodox monk Staretz Silouan, who said Keep thy mind in hell, and despair not. If it is still today unfashionable to read such spiritual concerns into this music, it should not be forgotten that Palestrina was working at the very centre of the development of Counter-Reformation spirituality: as Lewis Lockwood has written: His career exhibits not only enormous artistic power and fecundity, exercised with great restraint, but also a strong religious feeling coupled with a sense of worldly purpose (Palestrina, in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians).
Laudate pueri, from the 1572 collection of motets, and Cantantibus organis, published in 1575, show the festive side of Palestrina, with exuberant melismatic writing and, especially in the former, for two choirs, a dextrous handling of textural contrast. The seven-voice Tu es Petrus, from the 1569 Liber primus motettorum, and less familiar than the later six-voice setting, is also a joyous celebration of confident faith in the church of Peter. Its seamless polyphonic flow, though not its harmonic language, suggests composers such as Morales and, especially, Gombert. The Magnificat recorded here is one of five which Palestrina wrote in Tone 4. He set the text of the Magnificat, in fact, no fewer than thirty-five times; sixteen of them appeared in the Magnificat octo tonum liber primus published in Rome in 1591. It is a pity indeed that they are nowadays somewhat little known, for they are quintessential Palestrina: the servant of the Church quietly writing magnificent music which speaks directly to mankind evenand perhaps especiallytoday.

I've never been able to play a musical instrument particularly well. I had to learn tin whistle in primary school, and the recorder in my first year of secondary school, but never quite got the hang of it. I dabbled in the keyboard for a while as well, but never got formal lessons. Anyway, the ability to read sheet music and play an instrument has always been something that I admire.

Pico de gallo – I had lunch today there.. my waitress was Melissa she was so pleasant . The food was excellent service was outstanding. My husband Alfred Martinez was so pleased. We will return everyday for lunch .
Towing Cars is more important than the food – This restaurant is located near an area where significant numbers of homeless people congregate and live. Were approached twice between parking lot and restaurant. Restaurant posted large signs regarding towing and that they are not responsible for stolen items from car. After lunch with my vendors, I briefly left restaurant in one of the other contractor's car to visit a job site (we had 4 cars) When I returned the restaurant had towed my car. It appears that the restaurant spends more money monitoring and maintaining the parking lot than they do in preparing food or cleaning the bathroom. I guess that tells you where their priorities lie. No security to protect your car but plenty of eyes on the lookout for a towing/revenue opportunity. Anyway my recommendation is to avoid this restaurant.
Towing Cars from patrons parking lot – I saw them tow this guys car. The tow service guy was hiding in the bushes laughing. I will never ever go there again. These people also own Mi Tiera, forget it. I am done with all of them. This is how they treat their patrons. I heard that they get kick-backs from the towing service. There are plenty of other places to eat in SA.
Stay away from this place – I went there to meet someone for lunch. They were not there yet so went across the street to find an ATM. Upon my return 5 minutes later to wait for my party, they towed my car. Don't go near there. They may tow your car regardless of whether you are eating there or not. Needles to say it is not worth the +$250 charge for towing which they could care less about.
not worth it anymore – use to be good a couple of years back. chips we're crunchy not crispy.(too thick)sauce was watery and tasted like straight tomatoe sauce. long wait for the food, and not worth it. if the wait is long, the food should be hot. right? nothing just didn't taste authentic anymore. (tourist trap) this reveiw is from an hispanic not a gringo....you'll have better luck at a taqueria!! Thats real hispanic food! yeah i'm sure the've been open for ever but its the tourists that are keeping it open......
Mexican Tourist Food – Not your most authentic mexican food, but it can pass. If you have out of town guest for business, then take them here. It's in the heart of downtown and has easy access to all the tourist spots of SA. But if you are entertaining family and friends that want really good food this isnt' the spot, plus it's kind of pricey.
Food was OK – I will never go back. I had a bad experance there the food was just OK,really nothing special. Music was way out of control they kept playing louder an louder even when ask to go away they did not. Manager could not do any thing about it. Waiters were very good and the Tortillas were very hard .
wonderful – I love how authentic all the food is at all three of these family owned resteraunts. i love Mi tierra, la margarita, and pico de gallo
Excellent Restaurant!!! – This place is fantastic. I held my rehearsal dinner here and it was both wicked cheap and super yummy. I had a large crowd (30+) and a lot of out-of-towners unfamiliar with Mexican food and culture. I think they were more impressed with this dinner than with our actual wedding! The mariachis are great. In addition, the restaurant is great with a smaller group (have dined with groups of 6 - 12 several times in the past). Occasionally the service is spotty, but only when they are really really busy.
In particular, I love their steak options as well as the enchiladas and the sopapillas are to die for.
The worst Mexican food and service I've ever had! – To start we couldn't get any service dispite the 15 waitors standing around doing nothing but avoiding eye contact. The men left ALL of the service to the two girls. We had to send our margaritas back, they tasted like floor cleaner. The next round was just as bad. When our food arrived we were surprised that the "home made" tortillas were so hard you could knocking sound on the table with them. My enchilada was rock hard and I couldn't cut it with my fork or knife. The one item that was soft was my cripy taco! The corn tortilla shell was soggy beyond belief. I was disgusted and embarassed that I brought my friend here. I will never eat there again, and I will tell everyone not to waste their money there. There are so many other great Mexican restauarants in SA.
