Tanimbar Islands
south Moluccas, Indonesia
Ancestral altar
19th century or earlier
144.0 (h) x 177.5 (w) x 4.5 (d) cm
KIT Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam
Noble families of Tanimbar create large ornate altars [tavu] to worship their deified ancestors, the legendary founders of the village. The altars support the central roof beams of the great houses and are positioned close to where unmarried daughters sleep. Valuables and ancestral remains—skulls, bones and wooden effigies—are stored around the ornate sculptures which serve a protective function and preserve communal fertility.
The altars depict ancestors in greatly stylised form, with outstretched arms transformed into decorative curving branches, hourglass shapes echoing the human torso, and square or triangular faces without features. Proclaiming the wealth and status of the noble family, altars are emblazoned with images of the finest and most distinctive gold jewellery [masa], ancestral heirlooms of the great house.

I have this sewing table. I really want a cabinet with a hole, so my machine sets flush with the top of the table. Should I invest in another table? Or could I alter this one?

I have this sewing table. I really want a cabinet with a hole, so my machine sets flush with the top of the table. Should I invest in another table? Or could I alter this one?
I would alter this one if you think it will be the correct height for you. If you are sitting in your chair, your feet are flush on the floor, your machine should be level with your elbows bent like you are sewing. That is to releive any back or leg pain while you are sewing. I am just 4'10" since I lost 2" so I will be adjusting mine soon. I actually cut off the legs to my one machine that I have at the cottage and I cannot believe the difference. I can go a mile a minute if my boot petal would stay in place. So I am building something for that. I am tired of the stuff under the petal on the hardwood floors.
It's got to go. I would use that beautiful cabinet, have someone put a hole in it with a brace to hold the machine. Turn the machine on it's side and measure the bottom, then adjust the size so you have a lip for the machine to sit on. You can then glue some felt on the lip so it will be more sound for the machine and the machine will not rattle. Good luck!
I currently have my machine sitting on a arbourite ( sp) kitchen table. It works well but I want a surface flush with my machine too. My son is going to measure and cut a hole in some finished wood and I will sit it on top of the table. He will fasten a couple of wooden blocks on both ends underneath it to bring it even with my machine.
I had one of these tables before I expanded my sewing room. Really nice how it all folds up and away if needed. I gifted mine to a friend who moved to a small apartment.
However, as the cabinet is actually a fibre or particle board covered with some sort of melamine like finish, I am not sure if the "wood" would hold the weight of a shelf supporting the machine? Perhaps someone with more knowledge of woodworking and engineering could answer?
It would be a shame to see you modify the cabinet and then have it not support the weight or vibration.
edited to correct spelling error!
I have a sew-ezi table. I love it and they make a custom cut insert for your machine. If you change machines, you can buy a new insert. Sturdy, comfortable, light weight and well constructed. I would highly recommend it.
The table you are looking at does not have anywhere for you to put your legs under. That would make swing awkward or uncomfortable for me.
I found that exact cabinet last month at a thrift store for 50.00. I love it except it could use a hole for the machine to sit in. The price was right so I will not complain too much..
I wouldn't buy it. Not enough room behind the machine for when I really get going...especially when I quilt. I agree tho...sewing table needs a well.
Have a carpenter look at it and see if it can be done. Looks like you would have to get rid of or move that top shelf drawer. Go look at other sewing cabinets and take your camera/phone and get photos to see if it can be altered.
I found an empty machine cabinet and had a friend put a false bottom in it, measured to allow the bed of the machine to sit flush. He made a template of the machine so it just fits wonderfully into its new home!
beautiful cabinet at a great price. I would buy a second if you have the $$ and room.

|Lines, Loops and Leaders Line / Leader Recipes, Loops, Splices, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
The mesh and red band are one piece. They're usually attached by heat shrinking them on (maybe with a little adhesive too). They're not necessary to attach the leader to the fly line, in fact I think far more people DON'T use them than DO. It's very unlikely that loop will break unless it gets cut somehow. Your knots are going to break much sooner.
If you find that you don't like it for some reason, you can carefully cut it off with a razor blade. If you can't cut it off, you can cut off that short portion of the fly line (which shouldn't affect the line's characteristics a noticeable amount).
|so the mesh goes over the line and then the red band (almost looks like electrical tape) keeps it on? and if it needs to be replaced where do i look online to find it? thanks for responding, was a little lost. i have seen fly line before but not this.
|Dble Haul
|The loop at the end of the flyline is to make switching leaders easier. If you tie a perfection or double surgeon's loop at the butt end of your leader, you can simply connect it to the flyline with a loop to loop connection. If the braided loop ever comes loose or off, you can replace it or simply attach the butt material of your leader with a nail knot.
new to fly fishing/line help
I recently purchased a used Ross Colorado 3 reel off of Ebay, it's in great condition and has scientific mastery line on it (or the seller told me so). I am somewhat confused with the end of the line, however. What is the loop at the end and if it breaks how do you fix it/replace it? It almost looks like mesh and is held on with a red rubber sleeve. I have tried the 3m website, but no luck. Could someone help out a rookie wanting to learn.

I believe that there is lots of room for discussing the level of benefits that would be covered by a national plan. Once that package is settled, I do not believe that there should be any tax benefits to those purchasing additional coverage. It should not be allowed as a business expense and there should be no tax deductions for medical expenses or for supplemental insurances. People with higher incomes would still be able to purchase a higher level of service either by paying directly or by purchasing supplemental insurance, but the government would not be subsidizing that expense through tax preferences.
I understand and share concerns about the bureaucratization of medicine. However, we already ate that apple and have been paying the price in our health care for some time. I don't want government running my life and I don't want Microsoft or my insurance company running it either. Unfortunately I have to live with all three. At least the government gives me the illusion of a vote.
How much will it cost to insure the uninsurable, like people with AIDS and crack heads who cannot get insurance due to their health conditions? I don't want my insurance going up because we have to pay for thsoe who don't give a snit about their own health.

Its my experience that many addicts don't even seek treatment until they are at the very end of their rope or they are forced into it, thru arrest or something similar. One of my former training partners was a neonatologist, according to him most pregnant dopers do not get any prenatal care but when they do get it they (medicare users) are the first ones to sue if something is wrong with their child. I object to paying for their care in the first place and in the second place I do not like they way that they treat malpractice as a lottery.

While the health care may be "subsidized" in non-obvious ways, it isn't quite the same as actually being run by a government agency. It seems that government agencies are often allowed to do things that would not be permitted of a private enterprise. People are quick to critique practices that stem from "for profit" motives. That's a harder battle to fight when the government decides to take control and run something ostensibly for "the greater good of all".
Federal bureaucracies often turn the simple into a charade. Right now, locally, the Dept of Homeland Security is in a small skirmish over proper security clearance "permits" for the people who care for and escort the mules along a historic canal route. Also, a local joke that they might have to get permits for the mules The canal is no longer in use. There are not strategic implacements anywhere their route along the canal. Even the intercession of Congressman Dent carried no weight with the bureaucracy. They responded to his letter quoting chapter and verse of their regulations. You'd think they'd be looking at the high profile risks rather than concentrating on a couple of muleskinners?
I think that this is the real fear/danger of health care that is overtly government-operated.

I don't use the PM feature, so just email me direct at the address shown above.
Interestingly, I suspect that the biggest questions will continue to arise around health care decisions affecting end of life. Insurance companies and Medicare now basically pay people with less than six months to live to give up their rights to medical treatment in return for free palliative and custodial care. I expect that trend to grow and would not be surprised to see more creative innovations in the "rewards" offered to those that give up rights to treatment.
Ever increasing deductables with catastrophic and/or hospitilization coverage would and could get the ball rolling back toward a market driven system.

The Celtics [1] threw a Christmas party for family and friends in their locker room following their 110-91 win over the 76ers Tuesday night at TD Banknorth Garden [2]. They certainly had plenty to celebrate. In addition to the festive time of season, the Celtics family and friends cheered the fact that they are now owners of the longest winning streak in team history at 19 games. They also raised a toast to the team's 27-2 start, the best 29-game opening to a season in NBA history. Up next, an NBA Finals [3] rematch with the Lakers in Los Angeles on Christmas Day. To get there, they took a red-eye cross-country flight but before that, they took time to reflct on the record and look ahead to what should be a classic game on Christmas at Staples Center [4].
Doc Rivers said he is not downplaying the sigificance of the 19-game streak [5].
Rivers heard the 'Beat L-A' chants and thought it was a great moment for the fans [6].
Paul Pierce on playing the Lakers in a rematch [7].
Kevin Garnett said winning 19 straight doesn't mean anything if you don't win a championship [8].
Ray Allen said the C's are doing a great job of not looking too far ahead [9].
And be sure to read and hear what Philadelphia's Andre Iguodala said about the Celtics [10], their streak, trash-talking and a certain reference to a perfect regular season in the NFL that didn't end in a title.

Panel Discussion: Coffee and Sustainability
Coffee is a daily necessity for many of us, savored quietly in the kitchen, downed at work as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or sipped at a cafe among friends. With the exploding popularity of coffee in recent years, there are more options than ever, and more confusing messages about what "sustainable" means. Which coffee should we choose? In the Bay Area, you won't find any coffee farms, but you will find local artisan roasters who are grappling with these questions, selecting their beans not only for quality and taste but also for values. Join CUESA for a discussion of the ethics behind a cup of coffee: What is its environmental footprint? Are the farmers taking care of the land? Are they getting a fair price, and what is the effect on the communities along the supply chain?
The discussion will be followed by a book signing (books for sale by Book Passage) and reception with farmers market refreshments and samples of coffee from Blue Bottle and Verve.
$5 donation will be requested at the door (no one turned away for lack of funds).

I hate to act so out of it, and perhaps I am, and no offence to those guys, but I don't consider VA Tech and TCU elite programs. Sure in 2008 you wouldn't have expected USC to fall off the face of the earth, but no matter how bad they are, it would still be a game to watch if you scheduled them against LSU, same with Michigan or Ohio State. In general I love keeping systems segregated until that one big game to decide it all, like the old National League versus American League in the World Series, or AFL versus NFL in the Super Bowl. When they were completely separate they evolved into completely different styles of play, and it was fun to speculate which system would dominate when they were finally pitted against each other. The difference is in order to get to that one special game or series you had to run the gauntlet of a playoff-pennant system.
College football pits two teams together in a much more arbitrary way. Alabama has absolutely dominated everyone over the recent past, even more so than they did in the 60's. The question for us outside the Southeast US is, is the whole SE Conference that dominant or is their reputation skewed because Alabama happens to be in their conference? No doubt there are a lot of very perennially good teams in the SE, but we feel the same about the PAC 12. What happens is one good team beats another, or a favored team relaxes against a lesser opponent and loses, and are then completely out of contention. If you are not going to have a real 16 team playoff system, I would personally prefer the old AP and Coaches poll for picking a National Champion. I think the BCS is just as arbitrary, yet with the trophy and everything it gives itself a credibility it doesn't deserve.

I think a better question may be: Who went the wrong direction more? We can not sit here and say that field line breeders have not lost some of the conformation. In my opinion, they have......just not nearly as much as the show lines have. We can all see that today's show lines are no where near those pictured in your excellent post.
Did you post somewhere else that they since have also changed the breed standard, since that of 1930. I am not sure of the changes, but I thought they had, and based on that, it is my understanding that even those pictured from 1930 would not even meet today's standard....(then again, I may be completely wrong and very delirious).
That's the way it already is and it has been that way for a long time. And I have no problem with that. The differences in the Field and Show are so far removed from each other they are de facto different breeds.
[After all, if the dog doesn't do what it was originally bred to do, in my mind, isn't a "dog," it is something else.] And that something else in this case is called a Bench Dog. IMO- The the AKC show ring is doing an injustice to the Labrador breed.
What its prominence suggest, and what all science confirms is that the dog is a creature of the nose- A. Horowitz.
I may be wrong (and have been many times), but AKC does NOT establish the breed standard...it is the Labrador club. Amnd who makes up the Labrador Club? When you have judges and people active in the breed club AND they produce dogs that do not look like the standard from 20 or even 30 years ago, what tyde lab is put up in the show? Bingo! Dogs that look like what the judges produce.
I agree with Kevin totally. Search for the great conformation stud dog named Dickendall Arnold and then you convince me which side made the biggest move from beautiful labs from the 70's. And Kevin can help me with the name of the great yellow stud dog that was the stud from the 70's - compare him to other conformation dogs and field dogs... remember now, Shamrock Acres Light Brigade!

I'm sure everyone gets tired of my posting this picture but as long as there is debate over the breed std I will continue to remind everyone that our field dogs today look much more like the DCs of 50-60 yrs ago than the bench dogs of today.

The problem with that argument is that the standard is open to interpretation. When the authors wrote "athletic," to conformation breeders today that says something completely different when they read it. If the authors envisioned the dogs pictured when they first wrote it, I believe they would be horrified by what wins in the conformation ring today.I am not sure of the changes, but I thought they had, and based on that, it is my understanding that even those pictured from 1930 would not even meet today's standard....(then again, I may be completely wrong and very delirious).

Enjoy this hearty beef with zinfandel dish made in slow cooker for dinner.
Choose a hearty red Zinfandel or your favorite red wine for cooking this stew. If you prefer, you can use beef broth instead of the wine. To save time, you may want to use beef stew meat instead of cutting the beef roast into pieces.
This flavorful, hearty stew tastes wonderful with egg noodles, but you might want to try something different. For a change serve with hot cooked barley, wild rice, brown rice or couscous.

Thanks for the heads up...I don't get there often but will look where you sugeested.
Thanks for the heads up...I don't get there often but will look where you sugeested.
^No problem, though they are sold out and had shelf warming battle packs stuck in that space now. Hopefully they'll get some more in.
Decided to pick up the Slave I set at TRU to get the $10 gift card. Going back today to get the Nikto guard. That should take a bit of the sting out of the $11 price point.
"Three goofballs and a guy in a monkey suit."
Luckily I saw the news about the free Nikto before I picked one up last week. Found a Galactic Heroes Y-Wing which was on clearance (?) for 22.98, plus I got another 25% of "select items) for a total of 17.23. I added another GH two-pack and still got the Nikto free for reasons unknown. I wasn't arguing, though.
"Three goofballs and a guy in a monkey suit."
A good friend just called me from Target, they're pulling the Hoth sets from the back for us. Hopefully there's no street date to hold up the purchase and I'll be playing with them tonight.
Edit: Have them in hand now. These, Jabba, the AT-AT, and the ROTJ wave are about the only things I've been really looking forward to getting since CV and comic-con.
I guess everyone is seeing the Target exclusives. I love the vintage boxed TIE - it's the same basic design as the SW box I still have from my kid-hood. Getting minty versions of these is challenging as the matte finish printing seems to be very susceptible to creasing and dings.
"Three goofballs and a guy in a monkey suit."
Found the Deluxe pack with TX-20 in it (I never found him single carded and he's one of the few Clone Wars figures I wanted) @ the Target in Westminster on Saturday.
Yeah, I've been seeing the deluxe speeder/AT-RT sets popping up at Target everywhere. No new CW or ROTJ Vintage....yet. I feel we're in "any day now" mode.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
Picked up CW "Embo" wave at Laurel, MD Target...no ROTJ Vintage today, either.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
Target in Frederick had at least part of the ROTJ wave when i was in there today. I got Ackbar, Luke, and R2.
Both WM's are so deep in badly painted Clone troopers and Hoth Hans that I'm not optimistic about seeing anything there anytime soon.
I'm afraid that's the problem with my WalMarts AND Targets...they're drowning in ROTS Vintage & there's no room. I went to 5 Targets yesterday & nada...but they're close...very close.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."

|Doors Open
|Live Music by Eden Sela
|Film Begins
|Reception in courtyard courtesy of Red Stripe and Bulleit Bourbon
Roof and Courtyard
232 Third St. at 3rd Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11215
F/G to Carroll St. or R to Union
Tonight's screening is delayed because of rain. Please keep checking our website for updates.
Presented in partnership with: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Oscars® Outdoors Summer Series, Cinedigm.
On July 20th, the Academy's Oscars Outdoors Summer Series and Rooftop Films present a sneak preview event of "Short Term 12", winner of the 2013 SXSW Grand Jury Award. Destin Cretton (Rooftop alum) and Brie Larson will participate in a brief Q&A after the screening. "Short Term 12" will be released in theaters later this summer by Cinedigm.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Rooftop Films present Destin Cretton's feature film debut, Short Term 12, winner of the Academy's Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriter award. Awarded in 2010, the film follows the staff and patients at a shelter for at-risk teens in a masterful drama that never sentimentalizes the plights of its fragile characters.
Short Term 12 (Destin Cretton | USA | 96 min.)
Rooftop Films screened writer-director Destin Cretton's short film of the same title in 2009, and it's thrilling to see him expand on the characters and themes in this accomplished feature-length film. Cretton's sophomore feature pulls off a tricky balance of imbuing its story with emotional weight while not coming across as cloying in the process. The situation is inherently affecting, but the filmmaker complicates it with characters worth rooting for.
That success is aided by impeccable performances all around. Brie Larson, to date best known for her role on the now-defunct "United States of Tara," delivers a tremendously involving turn as Grace, the young supervisor of the facility drawn into the distinctive needs of various patients while maintaining a warm relationship with co-worker Mason (an equally believable Jason Gallagher Jr.). Behind closed doors, they engage in charming romantic chatter, but when among the patients they display a different sort of passion subtly realized over the course of a patiently constructed narrative.
Driven by their own history of problems that led them to the facility in the first place, Mason and Grace treat their jobs as a ways of life; in turn, the movie rarely leaves the foster home, inviting us into their routine of taming angry youth and exploring the cycle of overcoming personal hangups in intimate detail. But Cretton balances off the serious material with intensely likable protagonists whose penchant for cracking jokes under duress -- restraining tantrum-riddled patients, for example -- deepens their credibility and eases us into environment before advancing its poignancy. Instead of overstating its core ideas, Cretton reveals them through the minutiae of conversation, with Grace championing a commitment to "talk about what's going on inside your head." By the end of Short Term 12, we're not just in their heads but fully able to relate to them.

"With large eyes that seem to make simple words into complicated stones, Eden Sela is one of Brooklyn's most captivating secrets. Like the title of her latest album (Soft Rock) alludes, this one-woman show is indeed her own "rock", and "soft" must be the fragile flesh, for there is no way this title is simply a genre. Watching her on stage is like witnessing a contrarian's example of Deleuze and Guattari's theories of multiplicity. Singing into two microphones, a crowd of electronically generated iterations of herself respond (live) to her solo vocalizations. It is like watching the opposite of an exorcism. Selves- possession. The audience is left savoring an intrusive feeling, as if we have just witnesses a private conversation taking place in this lovely singer's mind. It is touching and voyeuristic, and though she emanates an almost-alien sense of honest solitude, there is also something intensely pure and vital in this curious musical encounter." -Seat of Perception

Entries sought for 'Art of Science' competition
Posted April 1, 2009; 06:15 p.m.
Members of the University community are invited to offer submissions for the "Art of Science" competition, which this year focuses on the theme of "found art." The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, April 21.
"We are soliciting images made in the course of research that have not only a scientific quality but an aesthetic one as well," said one of the competition organizers, Andrew Zwicker, the head of science education at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and a lecturer in the Princeton Writing Program.
Zwicker said this "found art" might include photographs from a microscope or a telescope; photographs taken for purposes of field research; images generated by computer simulations; 3-D renderings of data sets; and data plots.
"Entries should be scientific images created during the course of an actual research project, rather than art that is inspired by science," said Zwicker. "It is our position that images produced in the pursuit of science can have an aesthetic value that is on a par with art created for art's sake."
Adam Finkelstein, associate professor of computer science and a competition organizer, acknowledged that this stance might be provocative to some in the art world. "We hope that this competition will engender a spirited public debate about the nature of art and its relationship to science," he said.
Jurors for the competition include President Shirley M. Tilghman; Dean of the Faculty David Dobkin, the Phillip Y. Goldman '86 Professor in Computer Science; Paul Muldoon, the Howard G.B. Clark '21 University Professor in the Humanities, chair of the Lewis Center for the Arts and director of the Princeton Atelier; photographer Emmet Gowin, professor of visual arts in the Lewis Center for the Arts; and photographer Andrew Moore, lecturer in visual arts in the Lewis Center for the Arts.
Cash prizes will be given to the top three winners of the competition: $250 for first place, $154.51 for second; and $95.49 for third. These amounts are derived according to the golden ratio, a mathematical proportion that has been found in aesthetically pleasing designs, from seashells to ancient Greek temples.
Sponsors of the competition are PPPL, the Lewis Center, the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the offices of the president, dean of the faculty and dean for research.
The awards will be announced at an opening reception May 8 in the Friend Center, where images selected from the competition will remain on display for a year. Images selected for the show also will be featured in an online gallery. Submission information and galleries from the two previous "Art of Science" exhibitions can be found on the competition website. There is no cost to enter the competition.
For media inquiries about the 2009 competition, contact Teresa Riordan.

I think the Mettenberger kid has potential next year and didn't they bring in one of the top pro style QBs in the nation. They only have to get a little bit better on offence to be a great team. They were awful last year. I think a upgrade at OC and a second year for Mettenberger will do that.
Better then Bama or the Dawgs no most likely not but I think they will be much better. Plus South Carolina I cannot see someone outside the SEC really challenging. Kelly is gone from Oregon and Ohio St. isn't as good as this years record in a over rated big 10.

Oh really...lets see they return a ton of people including a QB who threw for 15 TD's and ran for 13 TD's...Urban Meyer pulls out the #2 ranked recruiting class....plus they have a soft schedule, and you dont think they are as good...got news for you they may win it all...and I am no OSU fan
unless the buckeyes trade for tebow.........urban meyer will need 40 days worth of depends prior to the bcs game. incontinence personified!

Then given tosu's likely BCS opponent, Urb's health will start to go south with the opening kickoff, 2009 redux. Only thing worse for bringing on those symptoms would be Saban making him sicker still by moving to Michigan.
LSU's problem isn't coordinators. LSU's problem is the head coach. The players don't respect him because they view him as a buddy, not a leader. That's the difference between him and Saban. Now, I know he has a lot of won games, but a good percentage of his wins were squeezed out, not decisive wins.

- Music for the King's Pleasure
By the middle of the eighteenth century in France, François Couperin's vision of a unification of both the Italian and French styles of musical composition (which he termed les goûts-réunis) had been more or less completely realised. The great majority of the best instrumental chamber music from the period is characterized by an individually delightful and skilful blend of the most effective and telling devices from both French and Italian sources. The music of Jean-Marie Leclair (1697-1764) exemplifies this union of styles perfectly in works which are always of the highest quality. His Deuxième Recréation de Musique Opus 8 published in Paris around 1737 is a good example of this. Being conceived primarily for flutes, with violins as alternative instruments, the music is almost wholly unvirtuosic in character, and instead relies upon simple and charming French dance-forms for its structure, preceded by an extrovert and vigorous French Ouverture and culminating in a majestic Chaconne. The increasing emotional intensity of this movement is, however, immediately dispersed by the final Tambourins - two delightfully light-hearted movements with strong rustic origins. This performance combines a flute and two violins in contrasted pairings instead of the usual two flutes or two violins...

J.M. Leclair (l'aîné): Ouverture in A major, op.13 no.3;
Ashley Solomon, Director Regular performances in some of the world's most prestigious venues have confirmed Florilegium's status as one of Britain's most outstanding period instrument ensembles. Following a performance at London's Wigmore Hall, The Times newspaper wrote: Florilegium climbed the heights of dancing bliss and left the Wigmore sighing with pleasure. They have become an indispensable feature on the early music landscape. Formed in 1991, Florilegium quickly established a reputation for stylish and exciting interpretations of music from the baroque era to the early romantic revolution. Among the numerous residencies they held was the coveted post of Ensemble-in-Residence at London's Wigmore Hall, a position they enjoyed from 1998 to 2000, performing several series of concerts each year and becoming actively involved in the Hall's education work. Since September 2008 Florilegium have been Ensemble in Association at the Royal College of Music. They give one public performance each term and, where appropriate, include students from the Historical Performance department. In addition they take string, wind and keyboard sessions and give frequent masterclasses on 18th century baroque repertoire. Concert engagements have taken Florilegium throughout Europe, to North and South America, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. The group receives numerous invitations to perform at major international festivals each season and concert venues have included the Sydney Opera House, Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Konzerthaus in Vienna, Beethoven Haus in Bonn, Handelhaus in Halle, the restored Frauenkirche in Dresden, Théâtre Grevin in Paris and the Frick Collection in New York. Florilegium's performances range from intimate chamber works to large-scale orchestral repertoire. The Florilegium Choir under the musical directorship of David Hill perform baroque choral and orchestral repertoire including mainstream passions and oratorios. Florilegium regularly collaborate with some of the world's finest singers including Dame Emma Kirkby, Derek Lee Ragin and Robin Blaze. Since their first collaboration at Easter 2000, Florilegium have been regular guests of The Bach Choir and David Hill at the Royal Festival Hall and the Royal Albert Hall. 2008/09 season started with and a tour of Bach's Brandenburg Concerti and Orchestral Suites in France and performances of Bach's Musical Offering in London's Wigmore Hall, Nottingham and Southampton. In addition to numerous concerts at home and abroad, including those celebrating the anniversaries of Handel and Purcell, Florilegium will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the death of Haydn by presenting three concerts at Wigmore Hall as part of the Hall's Haydn Series as well as performances in UK festivals. The group will also be performing Haydn in Esterhazy and Handel in Halle. The group's string of nineteen recordings for the Dutch label Channel Classics have been awarded many prizes including a Gramophone Award nomination, Editor's Choice from Gramophone, Diapasons d'Or and Chocs de la Musique from France. Telemann's Paris Quartets Vol 2 was awarded the group's fourth Editor's Choice from Gramophone Magazine and won the Classical Internet Award from Classicstoday.com. Florilegium's first volume of Baroque Music from the Missions of the Moxos and Chiquitos Indians was released to critical acclaim in 2005; a second volume of Bolivian Baroque Music was Gramophone Editor's Choice in March 2007 and nominated for a 2008 BBC Music Magazine award. In September 2007 Bach Cantatas and Sinfonias with the Dutch soprano Johannette Zomer was released; this received a 2008 Edison Award, Dutch music's most prestigious prize. The 2nd volume, with Lucy Crowe, was released in November 2008 and selected as The Sunday Times's CD of the week ten days before Christmas. Future releases include a third volume of Bolivian Baroque Music in 2008, and Florilegium's arrangements of Bach's Organ Trio Sonatas.

DETROIT -- The Cadillac ELR won an EyesOn Design award this week for Best Production Vehicle.
Congratulations to Cadillac. The ELR is certainly a distinctive-looking vehicle, which keeps essentially all the design elements of the Cadillac Converj concept car.
But I couldn't help thinking when I saw the news that the ELR/Converj designers faced a much easier assignment than the stylists who were told to design the seventh-generation Corvette that was unveiled Sunday as a Stingray.
There's a saying in Japan that it's easier to draw a monster than a dog.
The reason is that nobody knows what a monster looks like, so you can make it look like anything: Predator, Alien, Hannibal Lecter, whatever. But everybody knows what dogs look like, so a sketch of a dog has to look right.
What does a Cadillac plug-in hybrid look like? Could be almost anything. What does a Corvette look like? It has to look like a Corvette, and that's a very specific look.
It's hard to redesign an icon, whether a Corvette, a Porsche, a Rolls Royce or a Harley-Davidson. You have to stay true to its styling, while making it look current.
The stylists who created the 2014 seventh-generation Corvette succeeded, in my view. It doesn't look like a Porsche, a Triumph, a Ferrari or any other performance car. It looks like a Corvette.
Some Automotive News readers commenting on the 2014 Corvette Stingray's design have made it extremely clear that they don't like it. That's just a sign that they care, that they want it to be a beautiful car. But I haven't seen a comment yet that says it looks like an Infiniti.
Will the ELR ever carry that same design cachet? Will we even be talking about it 60 years from now?
There's a reason the word "iconic" isn't used often in describing cars -- but it's always used for Corvette.

Tiny Furniture (Lena Dunham | New York, NY | 98 min.)
From the first few scenes of Tiny Furniture, it becomes clear that Aura (writer-director Lena Dunham) is not an altogether unfamiliar character: fresh out of college and hopelessly adrift, she winds up crashing at her mother's place. But Auras down-to-Earth plight is exactly the appeal of this smart, funny and deeply personal New York comedy that recalls Annie Hall-era Woody Allen. Dunham, a 23-year-old emerging talent whose cast includes her real-life mother and sister playing variations on themselves, take an intimately autobiographical approach without sacrificing her sense of comic timing.
Reeling from her ex-boyfriends decision to dump her in favor of a trip to Burning Man, Aura contemplates the possibility of a filmmaking career while reconnecting with an old childhood friend. As she raids her mothers wine cabinet, drifts through random house parties and engages in an unexpectedly platonic relationship with a traveling animator (Alex Karpovsky, co-star of the 2010 Rooftop Films feature Lovers of Hate and director of previous Rooftop entries The Hole Story and Woodpecker), Aura reflects on her transitory lifestyle with a uniquely sardonic wit.
Dunham's neurotic charm is enhanced by the movie's parallels to her real life. Like Aura, Dunham dabbles in the world of webisodes (she created the online series Tight Shots and Delusional Downtown Divas), and her mother is a successful photographer (local artist Laurie Simmons). However, it's the minutiae of Aura's life - from her aimless family brawls to an awkward sex scene - that endow Tiny Furniture with a fresh sense of originality that has led to widespread acclaim for the movie since it claimed one of the prizes at the South by Southwest Film Festival earlier this year. The first feature made with the Canon 7D still camera (with the assistance of noted cinematographer Jody Lee Lipes), Tiny Furniture has a polished feel that allows viewers to absorb the elegance of Aura's world.
Shot on location in New York last fall, Tiny Furniture takes advantage of both the city's bustling environments and the colorful personalities within it, resulting in a memorable tale with equal dashes of emotional clarity and energetic humor-filled inspiration.

Second City Hoops – Bulls Outlook
Posted on 31 Aug 2010 by Kevin Blodorn.
Even as Major League Baseball approaches its final month and the NFL and NHL on the verge of their season openers, my mind is invariably on hoops. My fandom towards the Bulls is unparalleled, having been a season ticket holder for 24 years now. To this day, there is no other team I'd rather watch. That being said, it's never too early to talk NBA hoops and share my 2010 season outlook for t...

An hour out of the maelstrom of Kingston's traffic, the first frigate bird appeared, and then, around a bend in the road, the sea. There are few beaches on this southeastern side of Jamaica, nothing resembling the white sands and resorts on the opposite shore, around Montego Bay. While Jamaicans might come to the village of Bath, where I was now headed, this part of the island is little visited by outsiders.
From This Story
Related Content
Six miles inland I and my guide Andreas Oberli—a Swiss-born botanist and horticulturist who has lived in Jamaica for nearly 30 years—arrived at Bath, seemingly deserted at this late morning hour. A pretty village of sagging, historic houses, it had formerly been a fashionable spa known for its hot springs; the 17th-century privateer Henry Morgan is reputed to have enjoyed the genteel practice of taking the waters. There are two reasons a visitor might come to Bath today: the springs and its botanical garden, which now, beyond its Victorian-looking iron gate, lay snoozing in the sun.
Unfolding lazily from the shade of the garden wall, a straggle of young men with ganja-glazed eyes leaned forward to scrutinize us as we approached. Inside the gate and beyond the sentinel of royal palms, few flowers bloomed, for this garden is given less to blossoms than to trees.
Elephant apple from India; Christmas palm from the Philippines; Ylang ylang from Indonesia; two aged tropical dragon's blood trees and a Barringtonia asiatica, believed to be 230 years old. The stark botanical labels hinted at the labor and eccentric vision that lay behind the garden. Established in 1779, Bath is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world, its collection jump-started, in this time of English-French hostilities, by the capture of a French ship coming from Mauritius laden with Indian mangoes, cinnamon and other exotics that included the euphonious bilimbi, brindonne and carambola, as well as jackfruit and June plum. Eighteenth-century botanizing had become a global enterprise, undertaken by colonial powers such as France, Spain and the Netherlands as well as Britain, to establish encyclopedic plant collections for study and sometimes useful propagation. While most specimens gathered by British collectors were destined for the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, outside London, some went to satellite stations at Calcutta, Sydney, St. Vincent and to Bath.
And it was in homage to the second, transforming consignment of plants brought to Bath that I now paid my visit, for Bath Gardens played a small but poignant part in one of the great sea sagas of all time—the mutiny on the Bounty. As the world well knows, in the year 1789, Lt. William Bligh lost his ship Bounty at the hands of one Fletcher Christian and a handful of miscreants on a voyage back to England from Tahiti, where the Bounty had been sent to collect breadfruit and other useful plants of the South Pacific. The breadfruit expedition, backed by the great and influential botanist Sir Joseph Banks, patron of Kew Gardens and president of the Royal Society, had been commissioned to transport the nutritious, fast-growing fruit to the West Indies for propagation as a cheap food for slave laborers who worked the vast sugar estates. The mutiny, therefore, not only deprived Bligh of his ship, but defused a grand botanical enterprise. Dumped into a lifeboat with 18 members of his crew, and with food sufficient for a week, Bligh navigated through high seas and perilous storms over a period of 48 starving days, drawing on his memory of the few charts he had seen of the mostly uncharted waters. His completion of the 3,618-mile voyage to safety in Timor is still regarded as perhaps the most outstanding feat of seamanship and navigation ever conducted in a small boat. As a token of its esteem and trust, the British Admiralty had promoted the young Lieutenant Bligh to captain—and packed him off on another two-year mission, back to Tahiti for the infernal breadfruit. Two thousand one hundred twenty-six breadfruit plants were carried from Tahiti, in pots and tubs stored both on deck and in the below-deck nursery. The expedition's gardener described depredations inflicted by "exceedingly troublesome" flies, cold, "unwholesomeness of Sea Air," salt spray and rationed water; nonetheless, 678 survived to the West Indies, being delivered first to St. Vincent and finally to Jamaica. And it was in February 1793 that Capt. William Bligh, fulfilling at last his momentous commission, had overseen his first deposition of 66 breadfruit specimens from Tahiti, all "in the finest order," in Bath Botanical Gardens.
"The Botanic Garden had no rare things in it, except the Sago Plant, the Camphor and Cinnamon," Bligh noted in his log with palpable satisfaction; Bath's meager holdings would only enhance the value of his own, which included more than 30 species in addition to the breadfruit—the carambee, which Malays used for perfume, and the mattee and ettow, which "Produce the fine red dye of Otaheite."
Bligh's ship Providence had arrived at Port Royal, Kingston, to some fanfare, its "floating forest," according to an officer of the ship, "eagerly visited by numbers of every rank and degree"— so much so that, as another officer complained, "the common Civility of going around the Ship with them and explaining the Plants became by its frequency rather troublesome." Leaving Kingston, Bligh had sailed for Port Morant, Bath's harbor. Here, the day after his arrival, with moderate temperatures in the 70s and a fine breeze blowing, the Providence had been emptied of its last 346 plants, which were carried six miles overland on the heads of bearers and deposited in a shady plot in these gardens.
Today, a cluster of breadfruit trees still flourishes, demure on the edge of dark shade by the western wall. As most breadfruit reproduce not by seed but by sending out long suckers, the modern specimens are affectionately presumed to be "daughter" trees of Bligh's transports. Andreas Oberli, who has aggressively agitated for the restoration of the island's historic gardens, regarded them critically. "You see, this one is from Timor—it has a totally different leaf than the others." The glory of the "classic" Tahitian breadfruit is its large, ornamentally lobed, glossy green foliage. "They should get the labels right," he said curtly, Bligh-like in his keen attention to botanical duty.
Under the towering shade of the oldest trees, a young couple strolled reading the labels of each. Two little boys stood looking intently into a Chinese soapberry, incriminating slingshots in their hands. "Not while I'm here, OK?" Andreas growled, and the boys shrugged and wandered off. Three enormous women entered the garden and, spreading blankets on the grass, arrayed themselves massively along the earth. Andreas and I picnicked under the shade of a cannonball tree, the high rustling of the garden's glinting fronds and foliage masking most other sounds. Birds, buffeted but triumphant, rode the wind. On the ground, unmolested and untroubled, a rooster strode among the shadows in conscious magnificence, his comb, backlit by the lowering sun, glowing red. "A survey was taken at Kew some years ago," said Andreas; "only 16 percent of the people who visited were there to see the plants." We looked around. "They came for the garden."
My interest in the botanical gardens of Jamaica arose mainly from their little-known role in the saga of Bligh and the mutiny on the Bounty, which I had researched for a book. There was also a personal incentive. I had briefly lived in Jamaica as a child, and one of my earliest true memories is of the parklike Hope Royal Botanical Gardens, in Kingston. In my memory, I see a tunnel of climbing vines with trumpety orange flowers; there had been a bandstand and beds of flowers you could touch. But I had not traveled inland, nor had I seen—and until my Bounty studies, even heard of—Jamaica's other historic gardens.

Sanibel Sea School Aims to Transform, Not Just Teach
Posted On April 9, 2012 by Sarah van Schagen
People fall in love with the ocean in many different ways: surfing, boating, scuba diving, beach-walking. Sanibel Sea School, a day-school program on Sanibel Island, Florida, aims to help young people fall in the love with the ocean through intellectual discovery.
The school is the brain-child of marine biology professor J. Bruce Neill and his wife, Evelyn, who have high hopes that some day all people will value, understand and care for the ocean. It's a "broad-reaching, idyllic goal," Bruce says, which is why they're focused on a much more manageable mission to "improve the ocean's future one person at a time."
Or in this case, up to 30 young people at a time. Called "college for 8-year-olds," Sanibel Sea School offers students aged 6 to 13 two half-day courses a day focused on topics like gastropod mollusks and mangrove forests.

Callihan extradited back to Spokane to face murder charge
SPOKANE, Wash. - The suspect in the early December murder of a west Spokane woman has been extradited back to Washington state.
The Spokane Police Department confirmed via Twitter Friday morning that Tony Callihan has been extradited from California to face a second-degree murder charge for the killing of Michelle Koenen.
Koenen was found strangled in her home in the 2000 block of West Broadway on Dec. 7.
Callihan was arrested in Clearlake, Calif. on Dec. 14, a week after Koenen was killed. He was driving Koenen's 2006 Dodge Stratus at the time he was arrested in Clearlake, located approximately 100 miles northwest of Sacramento.
Court documents show that before he fled the area, Callihan admitted to his stepfather that he "got into a fight with a girl at a 'meth party' and he shoved and choked her."
After he fled the area, Callihan was spotted once in Ellensburg, where he stole some gas from a greenskeeper at Central Washington University.
During his first appearance hearing Friday, Callihan's bond was set at $750,000.
If convicted of Koenen's murder, this would be Callihan's third violent criminal strike. He pistol whipped someone Christmas Day 2001 and was released from the Airway Heights Corrections Center in 2011 after serving time on an assault charge.

"PASS•PORT: identity in the information age" was the theme of this year's DesignInquiry, an annual design workshop co-directed by Maine College of Art professor Margo Halverson, together with designer Melle Hammer and design critic Peter Hall.
As DesignInquiry has become more established, it has also become less institutional, embracing hands-on practice, kinship, risk, conviviality, and genuine dialogue, and ignoring the glossier versions of success.
This year twenty-five designers, artists, actors, publishers, critics, cooks, educators, and others gathered together at the Poor Farm on Vinalhaven for a week of cohabitation and collaboration, working, presenting, discussing, inventing a framework for investigating one corner of "the aesthetics and ethics of graphic design," this year through the optic of "identity."
The Portland Phoenix caught up with Halverson to find out more about this year's results.
It seems from the schedule you posted in advance that cooking was imagined to be a central part of the experience; how did the cooking and eating play into the work that you did together?
They were a seamless part of things. We always focused on the task at hand, learning what each of the participants had to bring to the topic, and that spurred conversations, collaborations, "what-ifs" over cooking, eating, and cleaning up at the Poor Farm on Vinalhaven, our base. There were no distractions. We even ate lunch in, got to know each other, with the Maine landscape and expanse right out the door. We took turns cooking and making a daily run for groceries.
What were the outcomes of the design collaborations you worked through together?
We experienced perspectives from others who introduced their work from the places of graphic design, architecture, industrial design, photography, and interior design. This year we had participants from four countries and ten states. We presented ideas we brought to the gathering, conducted workshops that acted as catalysts to further the questions at hand. There were many of these: "space and security: constructing identity," "information age identity disruption," "interactive narrative and identity," "histories of identity in graphic design," and many others. In between presentations, lectures, workshops, films, we organized new thoughts for an "after-publication," a document of the various work we brought, and what was spurred there.
How does one (or do many) "organize" an event like this one?We're working to displace the symposium/conference model where you show up to be "filled," in favor of a structure in which everyone participates in both the giving and the getting. The focus has been to identify a timely and important topic in design, then to get the word out (this year, almost exclusively through word of mouth, and by means of participants' connection to the topic) to gather participants from in, around, and outside the field of design. Then Melle and Peter and I work hard to avoid controlling what happens during the week; we simply meet daily with the previous twenty-four hours in hand to pull out what would be next that could move the topic into another corner. We plan the first evening and morning, then decide from there, give it a little shape, but in response to what is happening already from what's on the table.

Another four days gone by without any work done. Thursday and Friday got lost in incessant Day Job Demands and as it turns out I'd promised the SO I'd attend a wedding this weekend and had to go out of town. Shabby hotel; cost a fortune; no Internet access. /me is not happy! :-(
So now I'm back, but looking at the duty roster it doesn't seem too bright Monday through Wednsday. I've got Thursday and Friday off, but since I'm on Hell Rotation (don't ask!) this weekend I'll probably have to spend the time doing IRL-stuff.
Speaking of IRL-stuff, I'm planning on beefing up my hardware pool. Current plan is to get one of those kick-ass MP models from Apple (the 2x450MHz model) to deal with email/news/"Office"-type stuff and the 733MHz model from Compaq's Deskpro EN SFF line for a Linux box. None of them are actually typical hacker hardware, but they seem to suit me like a glove. It's going to cost me an arm and a leg, but I think it's worth it. My current hardware just won't cut it anymore; especially since I've got to return both my Linux systems to my former employer. I've already stalled much longer then I should. That leaves me with just a Macintosh Performa 5400/160 (160MHz PPC 601 CPU).
Of course, it all depends on what my bank thinks of the idea and my bank, it seems, is extremely slow in making up it's mind. :-(
Note to self: Look into adding "Watch" and "Watched" options to mod_virgule!
There are several people whose diary I'd like to keep watch on, but no easy way -- short of well organized bookmarks, of course :-) -- to keep track of them. If mod_virgule let you "Watch" a set of diaries, or possibly Accounts, for changes it'd be much easier. It could probably be listed on each page "This person is watching.../This person is being Watched by..." in addition to the Certification listings.

Bipartisan Framework for Comprehensive Immigration Reform, January 2013 (PDF)
S. 744 Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, April 2013
A bipartisan group of eight U.S. senators proposed a framework for immigration reform released January 28, 2013 and President Obama outlined his plan for reform in a speech on January 29, 2013. Both plans include a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and tightened border security. On April 16, 2013, S. 744: Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act was proposed and an outline is available on Senator McCain's website.
Excerpt from the immigration reform framework (PDF):
"We recognize that our immigration system is broken. And while border security has improved significantly over the last two Administrations, we still don't have a functioning immigration system. This has created a situation where up to 11 million undocumented immigrants are living in the shadows. Our legislation acknowledges these realities by finally committing the resources needed to secure the border, modernize and streamline our current legal immigration system, while creating a tough but fair legalization program for individuals who are currently here. We will ensure that this is a successful permanent reform to our immigration system that will not need to be revisited.
Four Basic Legislative Pillars:
1. Create a tough but fair path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants currently living in the United States that is contingent upon securing our borders and tracking whether legal immigrants have left the country when required;
2. Reform our legal immigration system to better recognize the importance of characteristics that will help build the American economy and strengthen American families;
3. Create an effective employment verification system that will prevent identity theft and end the hiring of future unauthorized workers; and,
4. Establish an improved process for admitting future workers to serve our nation's workforce needs, while simultaneously protecting all workers."

A St. John's councillor says the potholes on city streets this spring are the worst he's seen in years.
Coun. Bruce Tilley said at Monday's regular meeting — after council approved an $8-million contract for street rehabilitation work to Pyramid Construction — that he's had several calls from constituents this spring complaining about pock-marked streets.
"Because we've had such a difficult winter, and because the roads are in such deplorable condition all over the city … are we going to spend an extra amount of money to do all the roads that are not included in this particular tender?" said Tilley.
Brendan O'Connell, the city's director of engineering, noted that the Pyramid Construction contract is for the streets the city has
identified of being most in need of rehab, and not for individual potholes.
"Potholes and such that have appeared over the winter, Public Works would handle those, and if those roads have deteriorated to the point they have to jump up on the list, we would re-mark those roads for next year's, and succeeding years'," said O'Connell.
"I just want to know, do we have enough money in this year's budget to repair all the roads and potholes and all the roads that are in deplorable condition around the city?" responded Tilley. "Do we have enough funds in our budget to do all the work? Because in my opinion, it's only an opinion, since I've been on council the last four years, I've never seen the roads in such a state they're in."
The city budgeted $7.6 million in this year's budget for road maintenance, but Deputy Mayor Ron Ellsworth said whatever roadwork needs to be done will be done.
"If that means we've got to spend some extra money to get that done … obviously it's a safety issue, and it'll come back to council for any update," he said.
Coun. Art Puddister said the city's pothole liability policy needs to be clarified. As it stands, the city will pay for damages to a vehicle only if it can be proven the city knew about a pothole and didn't repair it "in a timely manner," said city solicitor Bob Bursey. But what constitutes a reasonable period of time is not specified. As reported by the Telegram last month, the city has paid out on just two pothole claims out of 950 received since 2003.
"Staff would recommend to council, your worship, payment of pothole claims if staff felt the circumstances were such that there would be legal liability were it to go to court," said Bursey. "Typically, potholes aren't known by the city until somebody phones in and tells the city about them."
Puddister suggested the policy is too vague.
"Everybody talks about 'a reasonable time.' What is a reasonable time?" he said. "I don't know if we want to go to court to find it out, but I think we should have an in-house policy: if it's clear that we knew about a pothole, and then we have to decide what a reasonable time is."

JUVENILE Has back feathers with dark centers and orange margins; diagnostically, tertials have dark internal bars and stripes on otherwise paler background. Neck and breast are flushed orange-buff; underparts are otherwise whitish.
Dimensions Length: 12" (30 cm)
Habitat Common, but declining; nests on northern marshes and in boreal forest clearings. Migration is coastal and ssp. griseus and hendersoni winter on Atlantic coast, mostly on estuaries, mudflats, and brackish lagoons; winter range extends to South America.
Observation Tips Outside breeding season, dowitchers are common on suitable coasts. Specific identification may not be possible with some individuals.
Range Alaska, Texas, Southeast, California, Western Canada, Eastern Canada, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, Southwest, New England, Plains, Rocky Mountains, Northwest
Voice Utters a rattling tu-dlu call.
Discussion Stout-bodied shorebird with long, straight, grayish bill. Very similar to Long-billed and specific identification is often not possible with poor views, and even close views of some individuals. All birds have yellowish green legs, pale supercilium; white rump and lower back is revealed in flight. Feeds by probing mud in deliberate, sewing machinelike manner. Forms flocks outside breeding season. Sexes are similar.
