Tennis - Boys Varsity
Berkshire School has a rich and successful tradition in the game of tennis. Our program, in the past seven years, has finished at or above .500 with a record of 10-1 only three years ago.
The Bears play a fourteen-game season during the regular season, including two tournaments. We hope these experiences prepare us to compete in our league and become one of the top prep schools in New England.
In order to prepare for competition, Coach Bjurlin offers a spring training trip during the March break. For the past four years, the team has traveled to Boca Raton for a week where they played against Boca Prep, St. Andrews School and Spanish River as well as using St. Andrews' world class facilities. In addition, our players attend the Sony Open where we recently arranged interactions with some of America's premiere players, including Madison Keys, Jack Sock and Ryan Harrison. It was a great tennis experience for the team and a trip that we enjoy doing each year.
The 2013 Berkshire Boys Varsity Tennis Squad put together another successful season in Class B and specifically the South New England Tennis League (SNETL), with an overall record of 9-3. With this performance, the Bears earned one of eight coveted spots in the New England Championships, their third in the past four years. With four returners and some quality additions for next season, the Bears look to be competitive in the league in 2014.
Every season we work hard to:
- guide our players to achieve individual goals
- teach responsibility and discipline
- model good sportsmanship
- instill a strong work ethic and team attitude
Playing quality tennis is our focus, and we are looking for players who want to compete, work hard,and do what is necessary for team success. We prepare our players for the next level, which includes working with each player who is interested in playing in college to find a school and program that is a good fit.
Some recent Berkshire alums have gone on to play tennis for:
Hobart College - Hayden Dunham '13 | Kenyon College - Sam Clougher '13 |
University of Colorado at Boulder - Jack Benham '13 | Roanoke College - Joey Ross '12 |
Skidmore College - Nik Rhodes '12 | University of Colorado at Boulder - David Alper '11 |

Are people of certain careers more prone to losing their Faith in God than others? Or is it just a coincidence that people of certain careers (usually careers that require critical thinking such as science and technology/research) tend to seek deterministic and empirical "proof" for God's existence and also believe they are in "control" of everything and thus no "Greater Being" exists, regardless of religion?
Despite being in the field of science, research & engineering, for me it has never really been a struggle keeping my Faith as I've established such a relationship with friends and colleagues that they respect my Faith and mostly don't question me about it.
I would like to hear from other people of Faith (regardless of your career), has it ever been a struggle keeping and defending your Faith when it comes to your career? Do you think certain careers are more prone to this "struggle" than others?

Steve Asbell from The Rainforest Garden
When Steve Asbell's terminally ill mother started to lose her ability to see and walk as a result of Lupus, he planted a garden in her Florida backyard and started a blog called The Rainforest Garden to share his uplifting experience - as well as his mother's extraordinary joy and gratitude. Now that she has passed away, he continues to garden for others and tends to the lush gardens that he planted for his apartment community. His blog remains a respected source of inspiration for creative gardening DIY projects, and he now makes his living as a freelance writer, blogger, illustrator and photographer. Steve will be releasing his first book in early 2014.
Amy Andrychowicz from Get Busy Gardening
Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Amy Andrychowicz gets her green thumb from her parents, and has been gardening most of her life. Though she is a software developer by day, her true passions are plants and gardening. When Amy bought her first home in 2002, she couldn't wait to transform the boring suburban yard into a garden oasis. Over the years, and with the help of her husband, she has added several flower gardens, a large vegetable garden, two ponds, a rain garden and many unique hardscape features. During the long winter months Amy gardens indoors, tending to her large collection of houseplants, succulents and tropical plants. Amy writes about her gardening experiences on her blog Get Busy Gardening, which she started in 2009. She is also the author of a gardening column in a local newspaper and does freelance writing for local gardening publications.
Dave Townsend from Growing the Home Garden
Dave Townsend created the blog Growing the Home Garden in 2007 to document the transformation of his blank slate of a yard into a home garden. On his blog, the master gardener covers vegetables, plant propagation, and an assortment of gardening projects. All gardening subjects are fair game! Dave gardens on a little over an acre of land in Spring Hill, Tennessee, where he founded an heirloom vegetable garden business, and is a stay-at-home father of three who enjoys making more work for himself in the garden.
Noelle Johnson from AZ Plant Lady
Noelle Johnson is a horticulturist and certified arborist who lives and gardens in the desert southwest. Growing up in Southern California, it wasn't until she married and moved to Arizona that she began to try her hand at gardening. She received her degree in Urban Horticulture and went to work managing landscapes for golf courses and later working as a landscape designer. Noelle now helps people create the garden of their dreams through helpful advice, focusing on using beautiful, low-maintenance plants. Freelance writing and speaking to groups about gardening keep her busy as well. When she is not writing or helping other people with their gardens, you can find her "playing" outside - growing fruits, vegetables, and planting flowering shrubs and maybe a cactus or two.
Matt Mattus from Growing with Plants
Matt Mattus lives and gardens in central Massachusetts, about an hour west of Boston, smack in the middle of the state (and the snow belt). An app designer by day, Matt's real love is gardening. He lives in the house his grandfather built and gardens the land that has been in his family for about 100 years - so every plant, tree, rock and structure has a history. The great part about living in a place with such a soul is that he knows who planted every tree, every shrub and placed every stone (and when), which is weird since most are over 90 years old. His blog, Growing with Plants, continues to be an outlet where he can document his daily adventures in the garden.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- Family, friends and some members of the public were in attendance at the funeral mass for Stan Musial Saturday morning at the Cathedral Basilica.
The ceremony started at 11 a.m. with immediate family processing in with the casket of Stanley Frank Musial. Bill DeWitt III, Bill Suntrup and family members acted as pallbearers for the ceremony.
Bishop Richard Stika gave a baseball-inspired homily with His Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan in attendance. Stika gave gratitude to Albert Pujols who would always shift the title "The Man" back to Musial.
Bill Dewitt Jr., Bob Costas and his grandson, Andrew Edmonds gave emotional remarks of remembrance of Stan. Dewitt said, "He inspired managers, players, coaches and staff. Stan was the heart and soul of the Cardinals for generations."
Bob Costas quoted Mickey Mantle saying, "Stan was a better player than me because he was a better man than me." Costas also spoke of Musial saying "our greatest ballplayer, sure, but also our friend and neighbor." Musial's son-in-law Martin Schwarze said that "what you saw in the public, we saw in the private life."
Schwartze spoke of Musial's final moment, saying, "He did not suffer at all, it was as peacefully as any of us would want it." The family believed he would pass at 6 p.m., fitting of his jersey number. In true Musial fashion, he died at exactly 5:45 p.m. Friday, January 18. Schwarze reminded the audience of Stan's line, "If you're not 15 minutes early, you're late."
Family and friends processed behind the hearse carrying "The Man" to Busch Stadium and his statue at 8th and Clark Street. There, the family placed a special wreath at the foot of the statue, said the "Lord's Prayer," and continued to the private burial site.
Fans adorned the streets around the statue, giving cheers and well wishes to the family.
The ceremony concluded just before 2 p.m. when the procession left downtown St. Louis for a private ceremony at Musial's final resting spot.
On Thursday, thousands of fans turned out for Musial's public visitation at the ornate Roman Catholic church, many of them bundled up against the bitter cold in red Cardinals jackets.
Musial, a 24-time All-Star who remained a beloved figure in his adopted hometown a half-century after his playing career ended, died Saturday after years of declining health. He was 92.

quote:"[Signing Oden] would be awesome, a great addition to what we want to do," Holiday told RealGM late Thursday. Oden hasn't played since 2009, but players around USA Basketball this week had heard through people close to the center that he's looked fluid in workouts. Oden, 25, was the No. 1 pick in the 2007 NBA draft. "A healthy Greg Oden is a great player, so I'd definitely be excited to play alongside him," Anderson told RealGM. "Obviously, it seems we might need another big center."

I really like the Kona Desert Spectum. It just seems that you always have prints but never enough solids. I like solids and always used them in my quilts. These are pretty and there is a variety of them. Thank you for being so good to us and giving all of us, your followers, a chance to win.

Thanks so much for introducing me to Mad About Patchwork, Amy - not only do they have great fabrics (I think I'd have to go with either the shot cottons or Pearl Necklace lines) but when I did a little digging I realized that they are about an hour down the road from me. So great to have a supplier with great prices too!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful things but I really like the kona roll custom. I am also impressed with the prices, lots of things would cost less (including postage) to have shipped to me here in the UK than they would to buy them from a UK shop.
I hope this competition is open to international entries.
I have never seen this shop before, in one word WOW! I am a big fan of precuts... now do not ask me what I do with them. Outside of a few used for applique I collect to use someday. I sew with yardage and someday will use the precuts. Oh, I take it back, I did make a patchwork jumper for a little girl out of a charm pack.
In this shop I found the Bella and liked the yardage as well as the precuts.
Thanks for introducing me to a new place to drool over!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

All is Well
August 25, 2014
Photo: Ross Costigan
Well, the 41st Kilkenny Arts Festival is in the rear view mirror; Pentalum has been deflated and packed off to its next destination and you're 90% less likely to stumble across Sam Amidon singing in a historic garden around the city - so here's a few parting thoughts.
I didn't write anything yet about the series of talks across the Festival – topics ranged from the plight of the Irish demesne to Irish foreign affairs to medieval stone carving. It was an eclectic selection. Without doubt, the most colourful speaker was Lady Antonia Fraser who spoke with Roy Foster about the art of the historical biography. When Foster preceded a question with "As a woman of the left and a feminist…", Fraser sharply retorted "What are all these labels being put on me, am I a supermarket?".
Unsurprisingly, given the Pakenhams' political pedigree, the conversation veered into politics. Fraser asserted that a good politician requires the right balance of idealism and ambition; without idealism you shouldn't be in politics and without ambition you won't get there. Too often people have one without the other. The Diplomatic Coffee Club with Seán Ó hUiginn at the 16th century Hole in the Wall on the final morning of the Festival offered further political insights. Ó hUiginn is now retired from a forty-year career in the Irish Foreign Service, having served as Ambassador to the United States, Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Denmark and played a central role in the evolution of the peach process. As a former Foreign Affairs civil servant himself, Festival Director Eugene Downes was well versed in what questions to ask and tactful enough to 'disremember' certain privileged information when questioned from the floor. The insight to that early phase of the peace process was fascinating, and somewhat prescient with the subsequent attention it has received in recent days following the death of former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds. Ó hUiginn told of how John Major had complained about his involvement to the then Taoiseach indirectly. Major then sent an envoy to meet Reynolds to personally convey his dissatisfaction with Ó hUiginn. Reynolds' ingenious and amusing response was to have Ó hUiginn as the note taker in that meeting, which must surely have made the British envoy's task terribly uncomfortable. A question from the floor asked what advice Ó hUiginn would give about the conflict between Palestine and Israel: the universal maxim that the powerful are never entirely powerful, and the weak are never entirely weak.
Throughout the Festival I heard many longtime attenders remark that the Festival had returned to its musical roots, particularly with regard to classical music. There was a palpable sense of endurance and triumph as The Heath Quartet rose to their feet at the conclusion of the final Beethoven quartet in their ten-day concert series at St John's church. On Thursday night they had also joined seventeen other resident Festival musicians on stage at St Canice's for s t a r g a z e's performance of Terry Riley: 'In C', which demonstrated the pinnacle of musicianship.
The Festival Finale on Sunday night featured combined members of The Gloaming, This is How We Fly, Ghost Trio and Laghdú with Bill Frisell, Doug Wieselman, Kate Ellis, Sam Amidon and poet Billy Collins. Martin Hayes, who co-curated the Marble City Sessions, was Fear an Tí for the night. At the outset he described the musicians present as "an extended web of friendship and mutual respect". Indeed, this captured what for me was the most important and unique characteristic of the Festival. Since the great Dionysia, festivals have been about creating a rare shared experience in a limited time and space. Too often artists are shipped in and out of a place in little over 24 hours. By accommodating as many artists in residence as possible over the ten days, Kilkenny rose above most festivals and offered an opportunity for collaborations and spontaneity that was clearly as exciting for the artists as it was for audiences. With the emergence and debut of several new musical projects, it became clear that, as Hayes says, something is afoot. Appropriate then, that the Festival concluded to Amidon's 'All is Well'.

Love and Death
August 16, 2014
The subject matter covered in Billy Collin's poetry reading at the castle Parade Tower this evening ranged from house pets to breakfast cereal, there was even a poem about choosing the subject matter for a poem.
All poems are about love and death, he tells us. However, young adolescents always think they can come up with a new subject matter which no one has thought of – themselves. Later, he reads an affectionate love poem from a parent to their adolescent daughter:
To My Favorite 17-Year-Old High School Girl
Do you realize that if you had started
building the Parthenon on the day you were born
you would be all done in only two more years?
Of course, you would have needed lots of help,
so never mind, you're fine just as you are.
You are loved for simply being yourself.
But did you know at your age Judy Garland
was pulling down $150,000 a picture,
Joan of Arc was leading the French army to victory,
and Blaise Pascal had cleaned up his room?
No, wait, I mean he had invented the calculator.
Of course, there will be time for all that later in your life
after you come out of your room
and begin to blossom, at least pick up all your socks.
For some reason, I keep remembering that Lady Jane Grey
was Queen of England when she was only fifteen
but then she was beheaded, so never mind her as a role model.
A few centuries later, when he was your age,
Franz Schubert was doing the dishes for his family,
but that did not keep him from composing two symphonies,
four operas, and two complete Masses, as a youngster.
But of course that was in Austria at the height
of romantic lyricism, not here in the suburbs of Cleveland.
Frankly, who cares if Annie Oakley was a crack shot at 15
or if Maria Callas debuted as Tosca at 17?
We think you are special by just being you,
playing with your food and staring into space.
By the way, I lied about Schubert doing the dishes,
but that doesn't mean he never helped out around the house.
Billy Collins
It's easy to see why Collins has become one of America's most popular poets. Self deprecating and humourous, he brings an unpretentious humanity to the discipline. The punch lines of many of his poems evoke hearty laughter, but his real mastery lies in their subtle aftertaste.
Music Fit for a Cathedral: The Gloaming
August 15, 2014
Photo: Ross Costigan
The Gloaming playing St. Canice's Cathedral has been one of the most anticipated facets of the Kilkenny Arts Festival programme for months. The combination of the unique 13th century ecclesiastical setting and excitment of a rare opportunity to see The Gloaming perform live, ensured an early sell-out.
This is my fifth time to see the Gloaming.The infrequency of their live performances makes them a band worth traveling for. Apart from a few repeated anecdotes, musically no two shows have felt the same – be it their performance at the Céiliúradh event at London's Royal Albert Hall in April, the Derry edition of Other Voices in February, or most memorable of all; Union Chapel in London for their album release last January, where the room heaved and the stage nearly took off in a collective frenzy of foot-tapping and head-shaking.
As the lights dim and the stone effigies of knights and bishops recede into the shadows of St. Canice's, Martin Hayes, Iarla Ó Lionáird, Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, Denis Cahill and Thomas Bartlett take to the stage and open with Samradh, Samradh, a song first documented in the 18th century about Bealtaine, the beginning of summer. As they move on to Song 44, an arrangement with elements as old as this venue, one by one and without any fanfare, they're joined by a series of American guest performers; Sam Amidon, Doug Wieselman and Nic Gareiss.
Amidon, a childhood friend and regular collaborator with Bartlett, and Wieselman have appeared in separate Secret Garden Music slots over the course of the week. Both momentarily brought out the sun to large gatherings in the historic gardens of Rothe and Butler Houses, respectively. Their addition compliments the group in unexpected ways.
Although only born in 1986, Nic Gareiss has spent 20 years studying shoe-sounds and the disparate international roots of American traditional dance. The percussive results of this are a revelation, with subtle scratches building to more pronounced steps, a dance equivalent to Ó Raghallaigh's distinct brand of fiddle-playing. The two perform together as half of This is How We Fly, who, incidentally, will also appear on Saturday night at the Set Theatre. This is the first time Gareiss has performed with The Gloaming, adding a thrilling percussive and visual display to their now established set.
Bartlett's piano playing is more expressive than ever, and towards the end of Opening Set, rises to a thunderous exchange with Hayes' fiddling. Every time I hear The Sailor's Bonnet, Hayes seeks out a new crevice in the tune, a previously unexplored nook. He precedes it by telling of how he had initally thought little of the popular tune until he came to teach it to a class and, playing it much slower than usual, came to hear a new beauty in it. Judging things too hastily can be dangerous, he warns.
At Other Voices earlier this year, I asked Ó Raghallaigh how when dealing with source material that is often hundreds of years old, they can transform it into something that feels fresh and exciting:
"We just do what we do. I play music because it's in my bones and it needs to get out and if I'm playing on my own or with Mick O' Brien, in quite a traditional environment or an environment like this, the same music is in those bones. The same music is trying to get out and you can't stop it, it's going to get out and all we have to do is let it. I'm not trying to make it new and exciting, that music is new and exciting because every single time we play it, we're not playing something old, what we're doing is …we've kind of got the seed of the idea of that music and we send down roots deep into the genetic material of where we've come from, this old music that goes back hundreds of years and we pull this up through our veins and out through our instrument, or whatever it is we play, and it comes out fresh because it is, it's alive. Every time we play, be it traditional or contemporary, it's alive there and then. It's new by dint of us being at the absolute finest point of creativity where it's razor sharp, where you're not rehashing something you've practiced, you're there, and of course it's fresh. That's the whole thing of being creative."
Another new project from Ó Raghallaigh, this time with fellow hardanger fiddle player Dan Trueman had its debut in Rothe House on Thursday. Unbeknownst to them I'd heard a preview through my hotel room wall earlier in the day. So unique is the sound of two hardanger fiddles in this part of the world, there was no question who was responsible. The duo toyed with calling the project Gollywhopper, but wisely settled on Laghdú instead. The word means lessening, and while this is a perfectly appropriate description of their approach to a tune, the range of sounds they extract from the instrument is much broader than convention. It was via Trueman that Ó Raghallaigh was introduced to the eight string hardanger fiddle after, of all things, attending a particle physics accelerator laboratory in September 2000. Both play the so-called hardanger d'more fiddle, a modified ten string version by Norwegian maker Salve Håkedal and of which there are about nine in existence. Three of them are in Kilkenny this week, the other played by Cleek Schrey as one third of Ghost Trio with Iarla Ó Lionáird and uileann piper Ivan Goff. Ó Raghallaigh's droning ten string hardanger is a core part of what has become The Gloaming's sound, making the emergence of Laghdú something of a full circle for him.
With an encore performance of Saoirse, adapted from Seán Ó Riordáin's poem about individuality, freedom and fitting in with the small town tribe – The Gloaming bring the evening at St. Canice's to a close. Mulling on the words of that poem, I think about how this group of musicians have all ploughed their own furrows and in doing so created something that now feels like it has a communal importance, and like all great art, an inevitability.
Air Abounds
August 14, 2014
Photograph by Ross Costigan
Yesterday I posted about Beethoven's arrangement of Irish airs, today we feature the two largest installations at this year's Festival, both of which are both formed by that other kind of air – the invisible gaseous one.
For six hours every day (eight on weekends), a strange bulbous structure emerges on the prim lawns in front of Kilkenny Castle. While its shiny silver and brightly coloured skin resembles a dramatically oversized plastic child's toy, its volumes are more akin to 19th century Iranian bazaar architecture. This is Pentalum, the latest touring construction by UK-based Architects of Air who have been creating luminaria like this since 1992. It doesn't take much persuasion to entice a crowd to a giant inflatable maze and Pentalum seems to be every bit as popular as last years Miracoco structure.
With a last glimpse of daylight and shoes left at the door, entering Pentalum is an immediate change of environment. The combination of David Bickley's ambient soundtrack and being immersed in natural light transformed to red, blue and green creates ethereal sensations. Adults wander, enthralled, while children bound corners into dead ends and try to figure out where to next. The designer, Alan Parkinson, has used a pentagon as the template for the main structural elements, and the entire conception is a celebration of the beauty of geometry.
Eschewing any apparent geometrical forms, but equally gaseous, are Canadian artist Max Streicher's cloud forms. Streicher has attempted to bring the Outside In to St Mary's Hall. Unlike the looming grey forms passing over the city as I duck into St. Mary's Hall, Streicher's clouds are all white, and made of light materials such as paper and nylon, hand-stitched to create these seemingly arbitrary organic forms. Suspended within the nave and transept, their purity contrasts with the patchwork paint, brick and stone fabric of the building's walls.
Like many of the events at the Festival, the venue is as much of an attraction as the programme. Before the insertion of additional floors and partitions during the 1960s conversion to a parish hall, this was St Mary's Church, the original parish church for the castle and a central presence in Kilkenny for over 800 years. When the church was deconsecrated in the 1950s it became disused and was later offered to the OPW. Bizarrely, the OPW argued at the time that it could only take ownership of the church if the roof was removed! Instead, it was converted and partitioned, a fate at least reversible and far better than that offered by the OPW. In 2009, Kilkenny Borough Council acquired the church and began a process to transform it into a new McCullough Mulvin-designed museum for the city, conserving the historic graveyard and removing all of the later partitions within. The first phase of preparatory works have been completed and a visit to the Outside In installation is the only chance to see this historic building stripped back to its bare volume.
Beethoven's Irish Songs
August 12, 2014
Photograph by Ross Costigan
Irish airs end up in all sorts of places. Dropping into Cleere's pub for a late bite on Monday night, I arrive mid trad-session. The young woman working behind the bar comes around to the perch by the door where the musicians are gathered and starts into Red is the Rose, a pretty ballad which shares its tune with The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond. That same air pops up unexpectedly and rather discreetly in a section of American indie band Vampire Weekend's 2013 single Unbelievers. Earlier that evening I had sat in the grandiose Long Gallery of Kilkenny Castle for The Irish Songbook – a performance of Beethoven's arrangements of traditional Irish airs set to lyrics by the likes of Robert Burns, Thomas Moore and Oliver Goldsmith.
As the programme notes inform us, Beethoven composed more folksong settings than works of any other genre, and of these he arranged more traditional airs from Ireland than any other country. The account of how, as leading composer of the day, he was commissioned by Scottish collector and publisher George Thomson, who then commissioned other popular poets of the time to write the lyrics, reads like some sort of early 19th century hit factory. Unfortunately these songs weren't to achieve the same popularity as Thomas Moore's contemporary Irish Melodies, perhaps as the appropriateness and quality of the lyrics were deemed ill-fitting for the music. The late Irish baritone Tomás Ó Súilleabháin (1919-2012) sought to make amends to this situation and shortly before his death completed a new edition, replacing the original lyrics with texts by Thomas Moore and Robert Burns. It is this edition which is performed tonight by mezzo-soprano Alison Browner, tenor Eamonn Mulhall, soprano Aoife O' Sullivan, baritone David Howes and accompanied by The Fidelio Trio.
The opening song When I Was a Maid, with lyrics by James Kenney and performed by Alison Browner, warns of male deception of young maidens and how a mother's advice to heed same is eternally destined to fall on deaf ears:
"When the honeymoon's past,
The lovers forsake us, the husbands remain."
It's set to an old air known alternately as Kitty Tyrrel or Caitlín Triall, the very same air used for the popular heartbreak ballad about losing a love to another - The Lambs on the Green Hill.
The concert is brought together with The Fidelio Trio's impassioned performance of a Beethoven Piano Trio in D major, Op. 70 No. 1 (Ghost). The resumption of songs in the up-beat second half is less impassioned, though still accomplished, as the singers wear the lyrics lightly, sharing an occasional smile with the audience during some of the more humorous lines.
The evening proceedings are watched over by a cast of Ormonde family members from centuries past, whose faces adorn the walls of this 19th century picture gallery. Like the portraits of Hogwarts Castle in Harry Potter, it only takes a squint to imagine them nodding along in approval.
All Set for Tempest
August 9, 2014
Back in 2011, Electric Picnic's Mindfield line-up featured a young and upcoming performance poet from south London. This was my first introduction to Kate Tempest. It was the summer of the London riots and we were both taking part in a panel discussion on that subject. As I and the other panelists opined on some of the issues involved, Tempest instead turned to the audience and asked if they would mind her responding with a poem. Her words were pithy and her delivery powerful, and the poem expressed more than any of us could.
Fast forward to June of this year – I'm standing at the back of the Jamaican-themed Rum Shack at the Glastonbury festival. A crowd of 800 are packed into the venue, with several people literally hanging from the rafters. An MC is on stage building the excitement and anticipation:
"I say Kate, you say 'Tempest' …Kate"
The crowd repeatedly and emphatically returns the call of "TEMPEST!" as the young poet from south London arrives on stage with her band to perform songs from her new show Everybody Down.
With her debut novel set to be published by Bloomsbury next year and a Ted Hughes Award for innovation in poetry under her belt, Tempest is a multi-talented proposition. Everybody Down is her first album, and is released on the Big Dada record label, making her label mates with the likes of Speech Debelle, Roots Manuva and Young Fathers.
Tonight is the Irish premiere of Everybody Down and likely the only chance to catch her in Ireland this year. Come 10.30pm, the Set Theatre will go off – if you're wise you'll be there, though swinging from rafters is not to be advised.
Heath Quartet begin their Beethoven Quest at St John's
August 8, 2014
When you pass from the afternoon rain into Kilkenny's former Augustinian priory of an August day, there's plenty to be thankful for.
There's the 13th century church of St John's, which was once referred to as 'the Lantern of Ireland', owing to the beauty of its gothic windows. Cromwell, being of a generally unappreciative disposition towards many things, both inanimate and living, left the place in ruin after the siege of Kilkenny in 1650. Religious use didn't properly resume there until 1817, when the Lady Chapel of the priory was reroofed and became the Protestant parish church of St John's.
Now though, there are more immediate pleasures to be savoured, in the shape of Beethoven's complete quartets, here performed in a 10-day cycle by the Heath Quartet (UK) as part of this year's Kilkenny Arts Festival 'Beethoven Quest'.
We begin with Opus 130 in B flat, with the alternative, shorter finale Beethoven was encouraged to write by his friend and publisher Matthias Artaria, as the original (which will be performed on Sunday 17th August) was too confusing for audiences. It was also the last thing he ever composed.
The Heath Quartet arrived in Kilkenny on Thursday night, fresh from a performance at BBC Proms in London's vast Royal Albert Hall. This is just the third time they've performed the full cycle, the last being at Edinburgh three years ago.
Sitting in Cleere's the night before their first performance in the Marble City, they discuss the physically demanding nature of playing the cycle over ten consecutive days and the stamina required from each of them. I'm already impressed by their focus; they abstain from the pints of stout being poured beside them, so I've every faith in their ability. They'll need it for the revised Opus 130 finale: although shorter and viewed as less imaginative than its predecessor, it's more challenging to play.
The cycle of quartets are not performed in chronological order. Instead, the arrangement offers contrast between the early and late works. The Opus 18 quartets are mixed in with the Opus 59 ones; it dramatically demonstrates the evolution and ambition of Beethoven as a composer.
Many punters are opting to stay the distance for this ambitious musical journey, which builds towards a finale on Sunday 17th. For those dipping in and out, for one concert, two or ten, ducking and weaving among Beethoven's finest work within the medieval walls of St John's is a glittering reward.

text: /* RicTechs.com *\ In the event that you need your machine to continue working getting it done, you ought to defrag its hard drive on occasion. Hard drives generally have turning platters that contain information. Each one time your machine inputs information to your hard drive, it makes pieces which are consecutively requested from one side of the platter to the next. At the point when your records are part into diverse pieces, discontinuity happens. Your hard drive has some major difficulty perusing these documents on the grounds that it need to go to diverse ranges on your platter. To alter this issue, you have to defrag your hard drive. One of the primary focal points of defragging your hard drive is that these different pieces are assembled in a successive request. When you defrag your hard drive, your drive head no more need to go to diverse territories on your platter just to peruse one document. This enhances the execution of your machine. Yet an alternate playing point of defragmentation is that it can make your machine run speedier. In the event that your machine is speedier, you will have the capacity to run projects and applications all the more effectively and rapidly. Of course, it may take sooner or later before you can finish your circle defragmenting methodology. In the event that you have a screen saver or whatever other comparative peculiarities, you may have some major snags defragmenting your machine. Applications like this can result in your defragmenter to stop and restart. So on the off chance that you would prefer not to encounter any bother, you ought to simply defrag your hard drive overnight. To know all the more about circle defragmentation, here are a few pointers: In the event that your drive has no less than ten percent discontinuity, you have to defragment it. This is particularly genuine if your machine is old. In the event that you as of now have a "SSD" or strong state drive on your machine, there is no more need to defragment it. Dissimilar to conventional hard drives, strong state drives don't store information with the utilization of a turning platter. They likewise don't go to diverse regions of the hard drive to peruse records. Thus, defragmenting your machine will have no impact in the event that you utilize a SSD. Of course, you ought to observe that robust state drives additionally need to be kept up. In the event that you have a non-SSD on your machine, circle defragmentation is still essential. In the event that you are utilizing Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can likewise rest guaranteed that your hard drives are consequently defragmented on a particular timetable. In the event that you need to guarantee that everything is going great, you can go to your Start menu and sort in "defrag." Then, open your Disk Defragmenter to check whether it is running easily. You ought to have the capacity to see when you last performed defragmentation. Additionally, you ought to have the capacity to see whether your drives have discontinuity. In the event that you are utilizing Windows 8 and you see your robust state drives in the defragmenter interface, this does not naturally imply that your Ssds are continuously defragmented. It just implies that different drives identified with your Ssds are continuously defragmented. In the event that you are utilizing Windows XP, you have to physically defragment your drives. To do along these lines, you need to go to your Start menu and click Run. Sort in "dfrg.msc" and hit Enter. Your Disk Defragmenter will open up and you will have the capacity to defragment your drives one by one. In a perfect world, you ought to run a "defrag" a few times a week; however you can likewise utilize your Task Scheduler to run a defrag on a certain calendar. In the event that you utilize a strong state drive on your Windows XP, see to it that you update at the earliest opportunity. Windows XP does not have implicit devices that can keep up your SSD, so you ought to move up to a higher working framework, for example, Windows 7. On the off chance that you are utilizing Mac, you likewise don't need to stress over defragmenting records physically. Your working framework can consequently defragment little records. Of course, in the event that you have loads of huge documents, you ought to presumably run a defrag now and again with a specific end goal to keep your Mac from backing off. The inherent Disk Defragmenter of Windows is now enough to deal with your records. On the other hand, on the off chance that you wish to discover which of your records are divided, you may get outsider defragmenting apparatuses. These instruments are likewise valuable in the event that you need to psychologist a drive or defragment your framework documents. Moreover, you can set this up to consequently run at a preset time span. For example, you can decide to run a defrag once every couple of weeks. Simply go to your Disk Defragmenter window and change the Configure Schedule. Copyright © - RicTechs.com - All rights reserved. |

2Q was sleeping underneath the sands of the vast Khirbukyet desert when the Howling Fear goblin war broke out. Goblins unnumbered poured into the world through portals from another place carrying with them the banner of Maglubyet, their dark deity. And so all the inhabitants were forced into a global conflict lasting for decades, or until extinction. For the Howling Fear spared no one. Within the Khirbukyet, the Bhukas lasted longest. The tall goblinoid race, well adapted to the sandy wastes, survived and even thrived much to the chagrin of Maglubyet war priests. It was during the siege of sands, when goblins uncovered the ruins of an ancient temple. And within this ruin there slept Qeuxil Qai, or 2Q as it has come to be known. Making a deal for its freedom, 2Q, in the shape of a dragon, promised to help rid the planet of the Bhuka, a promise it never intended to keep. For as soon as it was freed the unbodied joined the Bhuka in their fight for freedom. This outraged the goblins and this act of betrayal spread throughout all goblindom and before the dark deitys altar, war priests vowed to bring an end to 2Q and all the Bhuka. 2Qs assistance came in the form of healing mostly. But the being also brought to the Bhuka the lore of lost times. As councilor, it helped uncover the lost places, where stores of technical devices were found. And with these discoveries, the Bhuka placed more and more confidence in 2Q, granting it a position of recognition within their nation. 2Q managed, with some minor manipulation, to set up a stronghold in the Khirbukyet. There, with its thrall and believers, it continues the cause in the war with the Howling Fear, conducting raids and eradicating the many plagues brought on by the goblin war priests. |

Orange Rio 2 review
The Orange Rio II is a surprising little number. It looks like a BlackBerry, but costs a fraction of the price. Yet it gives a lot more than you'd expect from the price tag. In some ways it's even better than the BlackBerry Curve 9300 costing twice as much. This is one of Orange's top selling pay as you go phones and you can see why. With the BlackBerry looks and the purse-friendly price tag, you can see at a glance that this is a phone for the facebook generation. It has a great QWERTY keyboard, plus the benefit of a touchscreen - something that the BlackBerry 8520 doesn't have. This isn't the highest spec phone by any means, but for messaging it's great. As well as text and video messaging, the Rio II comes pre-configured for push email, and there are widgets for quick access to facebook and other social networking sites. The Rio II also has the benefit of 3G with HSDPA giving fast access to the internet, so there's no hanging around waiting for facebook to load. There's also a basic 3 megapixel camera with video, plus a media player and FM radio. A 3.5mm audio jack lets you plug in your own headphones. In fact you'll need to, as headphones aren't included in the box. The built-in memory is 80MB - very generous for this price range - and you can add a microSD card to give plenty of storage for music, etc. Connectivity is by Bluetooth or mini-USB, and a USB cable is supplied in the sales package. Battery life isn't great, however. We think this is a fabulous little phone. It's smart, it's easy to use and it's not expensive. We've just got to say it - BlackBerries are not the only fruit.

Has there been any version of the Battle Droid Carrier Vehicle that is in the "Battle of Naboo" set on sale at Target this week ever before. Hasbro/Titanium or whatever? I'm trying to decide if the $20 makes it a must buy.
I think it's just two BDs and two Gungans.
I thought it was 2 Pilot BDs and like 8 regular BDs...Also I think they made a Battle Droid carrier way back in the early 2000s but it's obviously long out of production

PARIS — Art collectors from the world over are expected to descend upon Paris this weekend for the auction of some 700 pieces of art accrued by the late designer Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé over 50 years.
Given that some of the pieces — "The Portrait of Mme L.R.," by Brancusi, and Duchamp's "Belle Haleine" — are the last known works by those artists in private hands, the three-day sale, which starts Monday, is expected to break records. And while the Brancusi and a Cubist-era Picasso are among pieces that have been down-valued since the auction was first announced last fall, Christie's, which is organizing the sale in collaboration with Pierre Bergé and Associates, hopes it will still exceed 300 million euros, or some $380 million at current exchange. Christie's already has given Bergé a substantial cash advance on the sale.
"Sometimes it's better to buy a masterpiece, an important piece of art, than have money in your bank," said François De Ricqlès, vice president of Christie's France. "If it was a great drawing in 1980, say, when Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé bought it, it's still a great drawing today and will be, in 10 or in 20 years' time, a great drawing."
Bergé, for whom the collection lost its significance when Saint Laurent died last June, said Wednesday he feels neither regret nor nostalgia on parting with the collection. "I am waiting to see how this sale will proceed with calm and with confidence," he said, adding the scene unfolding in the Grand Palais, which is hosting an auction for the first time, is like a film. In 11 rooms, spreading more than 130,000 square feet, interior architect Nathalie Criniere has created an elaborate setting that includes replica designs of Saint Laurent's salon and dining room. "I am dazzled. It's extraordinary," Bergé said of the overall effect.
While the media (some 200 journalists and 25 TV crews are expected to attend) has nearly run out of superlatives to describe what is most often referred to as "the sale of the century," two pieces have gained plenty of column inches.
In recent weeks, China has increased pressure to halt the sale of two animal fountainheads, one of a rat, the other a rabbit, among 12 taken from the Summer Palace of the Emperor Qianlong in Beijing when it was looted by Anglo-French forces during the Second Opium War. A spokesman for China's foreign ministry told a press conference in Beijing last week that the pieces had been stolen by intruders and should be returned to China, while a team of 80 lawyers is said to be preparing a lawsuit.
"We received nothing. No lawsuits," reported de Ricqlès.
Christie's has repeatedly insisted that all of the objects under auction, including the fountainheads, have a clear history of ownership. "We strictly adhere to any and all local and international laws with respect to cultural property and national patrimony of art," the house stated.
"The Chinese would be better off taking care of human rights," Bergé told WWD. "These pieces were indeed stolen, but it's an affair that's as old as the hills. It's like the frieze from the Parthenon that's in the British Museum in London. All the museums in the world are filled with Greek sculptures that were stolen. It's nothing new."
Bergé played down speculation the strength of public feeling about the bronze heads in China could prompt a consumer backlash against Yves Saint Laurent, or even French products in that country. "This has nothing to do with the Yves Saint Laurent brand. It is to do with me and me alone," he said. A spokesman for Yves Saint Laurent, meanwhile, declined to comment on the matter.

About MRI Scan
This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
What is MRI scan?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is a medical procedure in which human body organs and structures can be viewed using a large magnet and radio waves.
What is MRI scan used for?
MRI scan is most useful for scanning the brain and spinal cord. It is also used to scan the chest, abdomen, blood vessel and bones.
MRI scan helps to diagnose various medical conditions and diseases. It detects any abnormalities such as tumors, infection, injury, bleeding or diseases of the blood vessels. An MRI scan may also be performed to examine a problem that has been detected in an x-ray, CT scan or ultrasound scan.
How is an MRI scan performed?
An MRI scan is performed by an MRI technologist. The patient is required to lie down on a narrow table that goes into an MRI scan machine. The patient's head, chest, and arms may be strapped to keep the patient still during the procedure. The table then slides into the MRI machine that contains the magnet. The area that needs to be scanned may be wrapped with a tool called coil. A belt may be used to monitor the breathing and heartbeat of the patient. This prompts the MRI scanner to perform the scan at the accurate time.
During an MRI scan, contrast dyes may be used to enhance the visibility of any abnormalities that are inspected. It is provided though an IV line into the patient's arm.
During the MRI scan, the patients may be given earplugs to keep out the noise produced by the MRI machine. The patient is required to be completely still during the procedure. From time to time, the patient may also need to hold the breath for short intervals. The technologist will be able to watch the patient through a window. The patient can talk to the technologist during the MRI scan by means of a two-way intercom.
Claustrophobic patients may be given sedatives to help them relax during the MRI scan. There are some open MRI scanners in which the magnet does not surround the patient's body. However, these kinds of scanners are not easily available. Even the images produced by an open MRI may be of a slightly inferior quality than those produced by a standard MRI scanner.
How to prepare for an MRI scan?
The patient should inform the doctor about their medical conditions such as pregnancy. The doctor should also be informed:
If the patient contains metal pieces in the body, e.g. bullet or shrapnel injury, etc.
If the patient contains electronic devices in the body, e.g. cardiac pacemaker, etc.
If the patient has had prior surgery
Patients are required to remove all metal jewelry and electronic devices that they have with them.
If the patient is undergoing an MRI scan for the examination of the bile ducts, known as magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRPC), consumption of solid and liquid food is stopped 2 to 3 hours before the test.
Contrast dyes may be used to enhance the visibility of any abnormalities that are inspected. It is provided though an IV line into the patient's arm.
Duration of procedure/surgery:
Usually 30 to 60 minutes. Some procedures can take up to 2 hours.
Days admitted:
None. An MRI scan is done as an outpatient procedure.
None. Sedatives may be provided to claustrophobic patients to help them relax.
- After the MRI scan, visual images of the examined area will be generated by the computer. The images are made into hard copy films. The interpretation of these images is sent out as a report.
- The initial results of an MRI scan are discussed with the patient by a radiologist. The complete results may take 1 to 2 days.
- An MRI scan may detect problems, even if the size and shape of the examined organ or tissue looks normal.
- After the procedure, the IV used to provide the contrast is removed from the patient's arm.
- If patients have been sedated, they will be discharged only after they are fully awake and free from the effects of the sedatives.
Complications arising due to an MRI scan are very rare.
- These risks may arise if the patient has metal objects inside the body. In such cases the magnet will cause the metal to move and lead to injury.
- Allergic reaction to the contrast dye may occur, which is also very rare.
After care:
- Patients who have received sedatives should not drive after being discharged.
- Patients may return to normal activities after an MRI scan.

"An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled-- no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally start living" -- p. [4] of cover.
This has been invaluable in providing background to the characters that we have come to enjoy on the AMC series. This compendium provides the first 48 graphic novels in the series and helps fill in some empty spots in the early parts of the series on TV. I am not one to read Graphic Novels -- I have recently finished "The Count of Monte Cristo" and the Lafayette biography in my usual reading circles, but this is a welcome respite...
My book was delivered extremly quick--in perfect shape! This site has always been very realiable to me-i will continue to save money and use this site!!!
I ordered this and compendium 2 for my husband for christmas. When I opened up the box whoever packaged it was careless and folded the box through the cover so the cover was badly torn and the first 50 or so pages bent and torn. Overstock responded promtly and sent a replacement which is now wrapped up and waiting to be put under the tree =] My husband is going to be so happy. The book is a great deal bc its the first 10 graphic novels which sell for about 10 bucks a piece. It has nice glossy pages and a relatively thick cover for being paperback.
Bough it as a Christmas present for my boyfriend :) we watch the season together and I know he is going to love it. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the walking dead
The walking dead is a great series and this is the cheapest way to collect it. I've seen people say it was awkward to read the beginning and end because of how big it is and I was thinking how could it not be and was worried it would be too big but it's actually not awkward to read the beginning pages at all and some how despite how big it is it works. The story itself is great. I love it. It's way different than the show so if you're a fan of the show I recommend this because you're getting a totally different story. There are a few scenes that are the same and a lot of same characters but it also has characters that the show doesn't have as well as the show has characters this doesn't have. Most of the story is different to with just some similar events and locations here in there but again some stuff is here the show doesn't have as well as the show has some stuff this doesn't have. Pick up a copy.

Even when we put a great deal of pressure and used a sawing motion to push the blades of the Good Cook Tomato Slicer through a tomato, it barely sliced. After we were finished, we were left with a pile of mush and all of the blades were bent. Although this single-purpose gadget is only $10, its not a good buy.
