DID you attend the Holker Garden Festival in 1994?
These photographs were found when Holker trawled its archives for great shots from the last 20 years for an article in this year's festival programme, entitled 'Snapshots from the last 20 years'.
Sarah Ross at Holker Hall is hoping someone will recognise either of the angelic faces in the photo and get in touch with her.
She said: "We would like to invite these 'festival faces' to return for the 20th event as our guests."

The Parsippany-Troy Hills Volunter Fire Association extinguished a car fire just before 1 p.m. Tuesday on Smith Road, just south of the Littleton spur, Parsippany Police said.
Officer Earl Kinsey said a man driving a 1999 black Toyota Camry reported exiting Interstate 80 onto Smith Road and hearing a loud noise before seeing smoke and flames.
When Police Officer Michael Ruggier, Parsippany Volunteer Ambulance and District 6 firefighters arrived at the scene, they found the Camry's passenger compartment filled with smoke and saw fire coming from the vehicle engine, Kinsey said.
The driver, Kinsey reported, had already left the vehicle prior to Ruggier's appearance.
The fire was quickly extinguished and there were no reported injuries, according to Kinsey. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

During the month of October, the American Humane Association encourages the adoption of shelter dogs. This organization suggests that bringing one of these fuzzy-faced companions into your life will benefit you, as well as the canine! For example, you'll gain a best friend and a tail-wagging giver of unconditional love.
Riverside Book Club will not meet in November. Our next meeting is December 14 at 10:00 A.M. We will be reading South of Broad by Pat Conroy.
I love doing research in the library. Answering reference questions is my favorite thing, if a little rare these days. But, I am not a genealogist. Still, I was curious about some people who were important to me when I was a child, and I found some of the answers I was looking for by using online resources available to me through MCPL.
I've always been intrigued by small spaces. As a child, I thought living in a small apartment in a big city would be the coolest thing ever! Tiny Houses by Mimi Zeiger really made an impression. I told everyone I know about that book, and now I'm telling people I don't know.
This 2010-11 Mark Twain Award Nominee is a suspenseful and sometimes scary ghost story. The year is 1872 and the place New York City. Horace Carpenter is an apprentice to a society photographer. When a wealthy customer orders a portrait that reveals a frightful image, her deceased daughter Eleanora, very strange things begin to happen. With the help of the customer's maid Pegg, Horace learns the truth about how Eleanora actually died. The ending is sure to leave the reader shivering.
Recommended for ages 10 and up.
At 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 21, bridge the cultural gap by discussing Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.

Fired Man Working
The unit of human capital writing this blog post is planned to be scrapped. End of June. This is partly because of a basic design error of almost all of the known units of human capital better know as free will. Most capitalists know free will to be a bitch to be kept at bay in production and to be abused only from the point of view of consumption. In my case I couldn't handle being 'owned' anymore to continue something we started, dreaming to improve the world of education, in order to fuel some organization's desire to make money on pushing more Theon taming (known originally as training).
I won't put in my LinkedIn profile that my will to consume is as weak as my will to create is strong. I wonder whether there is a maximum of will meaning a stronger will to create weakens the will to consume, and vice versa. If so it might explain why the wealthy are so concerned to ensure our will to consume is stimulated. The wealthy are só smart (how else would they have become wealthy?): they most probably have enough will to create amongst their happy few to count for all of us. Anyway they have the money so we will just have to consume what they create with what little money they leave.
We can take some comfort in the ideas of Thomas Piketty: as the wealthy will appropriate more and more wealth, there will be less and less for us, leading to a system break-down. At that point most of us will either be death or die quickly in the service of one of the factions of the wealthy, but at least the happy few will become unhappier and fewer for the briefest of moments. It's not much but we'll take what we get.
I'm just being bitter, of course. On top of not making any sense. Bottom-line is: I didn't get it my way. Continue reading
Friday Afternoon Confessional: 140 character sins
Bless me Father, for I have sinned. My last confession was probably about 23 years ago and even then there's no way I confessed all my sins. You see, I knew my priest personally and had zero interest in telling him about all the things that had passed through my strange little 13-year old mind.
I suppose my first confession is that I very much enjoy Twitter and Facebook. I am not the apologetic user I come across so often who says that yes they have an account, but they never post anything. I have nothing against these passive social media users (my wife is one, after all) but I do like to point out that Twitter and Facebook would suck much worse – they would be Google+ – if more enthusiastic users did not exist.
I confess to thinking that people who scoff at Twitter as being for young kids doing insubstantial things don't know that the hell they're talking about. Personally, I started using it to increase the readership of one of my now abandoned baseball blogs. I quickly realized that if I followed the right people, I could use Twitter to have nearly instantaneous access to ANY breaking baseball story. I'm sure this seems trivial, but I'm also fairly certain you could use Twitter to stay atop of just about any other topic in a similar way.
As for Facebook, I confess to enjoying (and abusing) the constant opportunity to crack wise. I further confess that when people complain because they hear so much about other people through Facebook rather than through more traditional means, I want to ask if they'd prefer to not know things about the person at all. Because there is an enormous population of people who I'm perfectly fine reading about on Facebook but would spend zero iotas of effort to follow any other way.
As my final confession, I will fess up to hateful thoughts directed toward people on Facebook and Twitter who use the medium to post nothing but inspirational quotes. This is by no means, and in no sense, my final sin. Now please keep my penance to Hail Marys and Our Fathers. I would need help getting through any Apostle's Creeds and I'm not even sure I know how to work my way through a rosary anymore.
Don't think Tuesday Hatred is over until it's over
I am working too hard on innovative technologies that will shape your lives. It's not that I hate that but I do hate not having the time to write a proper Tuesday Hatred (assuming there is such a thing, at least coming from my fingers).
I would hate it even more to leave Tuesday blank so I'm going to count on the comments to prop up some decent hatred.
Tuesday's Top Ten Hatreds
- Dignados².
- Stuff, specifically stuff that is a prerequisite for other stuff.
- Not being able to say no to a big opportunity.
- "greta gerwig nude".
- More stuff, especially the stuff coming after stuff is broken.
- Not getting a big opportunity to say no to.
- Microsoft (see 2. and 5.).
- "Penelope Cruz telling the naked truth to Javier Bardem to get his ass whipped, would make a pretty picture.", just to get back at people typing in things like 4. in a search engine.
- Pontificating about Europe, particularly: Krugman, Paul².
- Do it Yourself³.
Tuesday Hatred has failed you (& hates itself even more for it)
Whilst not being able to fall asleep despite having taken the medicine prescribed for falling asleep more easily, I told myself (quietly, The Wife already being in REM) I was to type this sitting at my desk. Two thirds of a day onwards I find myself with my laptop on my lap lying in bed.
Don't you just hate how you can keep on promising yourself to better your life?
I blame society. If society wouldn't be acting like an old fart that missed all of its opportunities and now just wants to help us not missing our opportunities, none of this promising would happen in the first place. I may be obsessive out of nature but I sure as hell am only spontaneously obsessive about what other people do (or, more accurately: don't do).
But as things stand I can't even promise myself that I won't promise myself anything else!
So society will have to change and allow me to accept myself in all of my useless unreliability. I hate society anyway. I will enjoy how it bleeds from ever increasing masses joining the universal party of giving the middle finger to living up to their expectations. Let the minority of over-achievers rule in the knowledge that the ruled don't give a shit.
I also hate that there are multiple versions of anything. Just give me the browser with the plug-ins (and keep any toolbar that just reduces the effective area of my screen offering me options that I will never use) on the operating system of the device. Update it whenever you want but please don't tell me about it,let alone ask me whether I want it – because I do not want it unless it's necessary and if it's necessary it is stupid to ask me whether I want it. Don't treat me as if I care about the stuff you are doing. I don't. It just annoys me. It should annoy you as well because whilst you are doing it 5 others are also doing the exact same thing, all in the name of efficiency.
Just don't upgrade to a system where a new comment needs to be input on top of the old comments. Accepting most of us read from top to bottom, please start with the oldest entries and work your way down on the page from there. That's all.
Against the cloud: An unscheduled post
I've been using Dropbox for the past two years, and it has greatly simplified my life, allowing me to seamlessly move among my various work and home computers and even giving me access to all my files from my Blackberry. Yet there's something about "cloud"-based storage that disturbs me. First of all, it seems strange that now that massive local storage drives are cheaper than ever, suddenly we need to transfer all our files to distant corporate servers — local storage is faster and more reliable for most purposes. Also, most computer users have a more or less constant connection to the Internet and leave their computers on all the time anyway.
So what I'm wondering is why we can't just make our own personal "clouds" and cut out the corporate servers entirely. To take the model of Dropbox — it creates a local folder on all the computers you install it on. If you change or add a file in that folder, it gets uploaded to the Dropbox server and then propagated to all the other machines you've tied to your account. If one of the machines is off or disconnected from the internet, it syncs back up whenever possible, and otherwise it's more or less instantaneous (i.e., it takes less time than it takes me to walk from one end of my apartment to the other).
Is there some obstacle preventing the implementation of this basic model through something like BitTorrent? BitTorrent has no centralized server, but merely a "tracker" that allows you to plug into a purely peer-to-peer, open-ended file distribution system — so why couldn't my various machines be a peer-to-peer file distribution unto themselves, and why couldn't I add new machines and remove old ones on the fly?
The cunning of reason
It strikes me that most of the pervasive technologies we use every day are not being used for their intended purpose, such that they have major limitations:
- Cell phones were meant to be a supplemental phone, not your sole phone line. As a result, it has a major limitation: it's tough to make phone calls inside of buildings, which if you think about it is mostly where you want to place calls.
- Twitter was meant to be a text-message broadcast service, not a mini-blogging service. As a result, it can only support messages of 140 characters (to fit within the limits of a text message and leave room for the username), doesn't support any kind of robust tracking of conversations, etc., etc.
- Blogging was meant to be a link-aggregation thing, not a platform for original writing and conversation. As a result, the text editor for most blogging formats is literally just a plain-text box within a browser and the format of comment sections continually fails to catch up to what was available to people back in the Usenet days. (Trackback is lame, even though I do support the idea of encouraging people to respond in the context of their own blog posts if they have more than just a quick comment or clarification.)
- Sex was initially developed as a way of diversifying the gene pool and contributing to more robust natural selction, not as a way of developing deep and life-defining emotional connections. As a result, we have human society as we know it.
Facebook's sinister phase 2: a proposal
Sooner or later, Facebook is going to run out of options for violating its users' privacy, at which point the only option will be to begin violating the privacy of people who are not signed up for the service.
A good place to start would be with the invitations people send to their friends — I know that Facebook "remembers" those invitations because they constantly send me reminders that some friend has sent one, even years after the fact. Instead of waiting for the person in question to actually sign up, they could create a profile for them and then accept all friend invitations on their behalf. Perhaps they could even invite those friends to fill in profile data.
It'd be a natural next step for them: instead of merely removing people's control over how their Facebook data is used, this new policy would allow them to remove people's control over the content of their profile and indeed over whether or not to have a profile at all. It would also be a great money maker, because they could charge a fee to give people control over their auto-generated profiles.
New Technology: The Genius Phone
We need to move beyond a phone that is merely "smart" to a phone that is a "genius." The way to do this is through voice-recognition technology, calibrated to the user, which then prompts appropriate internet searches based on what the user is saying. Let's say The Girlfriend and I are talking about whether there are any good restaurants near where we are — I pull out the Genius Phone and it's already on the screen. I wonder if this movie has released yet? Who was the actor who played "Boner" on Growing Pains? What ever happened to Vanilla Ice? Again — instant gratification whenever I pull out my phone.
The only issue I can see, aside from the unreliability of voice recognition software as things stand, is battery life.

Lumia 925 on AT&T means no flagship until 2014?
Phablets aside, of course.
I'm looking for the next flagship device from nokia that's in the standard size range (4.3-5inch).
Honestly, I loved, loved the Lumia 920 and its red/yellow glossy plastic shell. Only thing holding me back was that it's a little too thick (if they just didn't build in that wireless charging plate...) and I though WP8 was still a little underdeveloped. My hands are medium sized, so a 4.5 inch screen is great, but when it's as thick as the 920 it doesn't work that well for me.
The 925 is great. In terms of hardware, it's slimmer and still sexy, but not quite in the same way the 920 is. I'm still down to get this phone. Comparing it to the 920 It's like the One X+ compared to the One X. But I want the One :P
Anyways, is the successor to the 920 coming out this fall...? That's the phone I want to get. If it's not, I'll have to settle for either a 920 or 925 - which I am OK with. I don't want to wait till february 2014 for the Lumia 940. While I am happy about 925 coming to AT&T, I am not exactly happy if the tradeoff means no new flagship for a longer period of time.

Cantor On The Payroll Tax Cut, And The Real Difference Between Democrats And Republicans
Bearing Drift
Norman Leahy
December 19, 2011
House majority leader Eric Cantor was in town to talk to a group of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders at the Tuckahoe YMCA today about government. As with any occasion involving children, interesting questions get asked. The best one at this event? A young boy asks "what's the difference between Democrats and Republicans?"
Cantor and the other adults chuckled, and he replied that they could talk about that question all day. But outside the Y's friendly confines, the differences between Republicans and Democrats continue to be on vivid display, as House Speaker John Boehner "flatly ruled out [House] approval" of the Senate's version of the payroll tax cut extension.
The Senate bill would extend the payroll tax cut, and unemployment benefits, for two months. It also included a provision to accelerate an up-or-down decision on construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.
This morning, Cantor dismissed the Senate's action in much the same terms as Boehner. Cantor noted that the House passed its version of the bill last week. Unlike the Senate version, the House measure extended the payroll tax cut for an entire year.
In other words, the House did exactly what the President wanted. And for that, the White House and Senate Democrats cluck that Republicans are standing in the way of providing essential relief to hard working Americans…nevermind the details.
Cantor said that Republicans are trying to provide more certainty for employees and employers alike, something the Senate bill fails to do. He's confident that there is plenty of time left for the House and Senate to negotiate a deal that is paid for, includes a year-long extension of the benefits all sides have already agreed to and retains the Keystone XL provision (which the Senate and White House have also accepted).
So why the drama? The House bill contained a number of provisions Democrats just couldn't stomach. They swallowed the Keystone pipeline rider only because Big Labor wanted it as much as Republicans. But other items — like providing relief from EPA regulations on commercial boilers — were just too much for Senate Democrats.
So in answer to that boy's question about the difference between Democrats and Republicans: Democrats won't take "yes" for an answer.

MacCready Gossamer Albatross II
The Gossamer Albatross aircraft is designed to fly long distances with a human as the only power source. This light and fragile aircraft is pushed by a propeller connected, through a series of gears, to a constantly pedaling pilot. On June 12, 1979, the Albatross, powered and guided by pilot Bryan Allen, made an historic flight across the English Channel. The record-breaking flight covered a distance of 22.25 statute miles (35.6 km) in 2 hours and 49 minutes.
The Albatross II on display was built as a backup to the record-breaking Albatross aircraft. Except for some minor design changes, this craft is identical to the Albatross that flew across the Channel. The Albatross II later took part in NASA-funded low speed stability tests and was the first human-powered aircraft to make a controlled flight inside an enclosed structure -- the Houston Astrodome.

"I'm not musical, I can't do this ..."
Not so!"I played years ago, I don't remember anything..."
You're in good company!
The new buzz in the music community is Recreational Music Making. This is a new concept in Montana and is meeting with much success! Recreational Music Making (RMM) refers to playing musical instruments in a group without the goals of mastery or performance.
What this is simply saying is that Recreational Music Making is about the experience of making music more than it is about the outcome. Recreational Music Making provides a fun, inclusive musical experience for everyone, and the RMM philosophy emphasizes that over the philosophy of mastering an instrument on one's way towards a performance-based goal. As adults, we all play for our own reasons and this is a wonderful way to experience music. A background in music is not necessary.adult_hands_on_keyboard
We have classes in the Gallatin Valley that meet weekly just for the fun of making music together. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to pursue music making-whether it be through Recreational Music Making or through the more traditional approach-RMM simply offers an alternative to those would-be musicians who may prefer to experience making music that doesn't require mastery of a particular instrument, song or method. There are 4 pianos in the studio that we use to play as a group. We explore all styles of music and have the unconditional support of the group as we learn. One of our classes has been together for 4 years! One gentleman began this adult class after he quit smoking - to keep his hands busy! The commaradarie that develops is beneficial for all! RMM is:
about inspiring extraordinary life.
about exceptional support and personal experience.
about giving you permission to play and enjoy it your way.
The best RMM facilitators are MORE than just talented musicians, They are caring, compassionate coaches and intuitive musical guides. Contact the studio today if you would like more information.
Here's what others are saying:
"I really have had fun learning new music and having the support of others who make mistakes too!"
"...having this group to come play music with is the highlight of my week."
Please contact the studio for more information. We'd love to help you on your journey!

He told the WPL Official Website;
"Things have been difficult here over the past few months but I still love this club and won't be turning my back on Llanelli if I can help in any way.
The players have been magnificent and I thank them for their support".

Brief Biography of Simeon Solomon's life before 1873
by Roberto C. Ferrari
*For a timeline with the most current information, consult the catalogue for the 2005-2006 exhibition
Love Revealed: Simeon Solomon and the Pre-Raphaelites
(London: Merrell, 2005).
he life of the artist Simeon Solomon reads like the rise and fall of a celebrity. He was born in London on 9 October 1840, the last of eight children in an artistically-inclined middle class Jewish family. His mother Kate Levy Solomon was an amateur artist of miniatures, and his elder siblings Abraham (1823-1862) and Rebecca (1832-1886) were artists who were influential on Solomon's early artistic development. He was officially admitted to the Royal Academy Schools on 24 April 1856, having been proposed by the Victorian painter Augustus Egg, R.A. About this time Solomon started an informal Sketching Club with his fellow students and friends Marcus Stone and Henry Holiday.
Solomon was early on influenced by Shakespeare and the Bible. His juvenilia reveals the influence of the then popular Pre-Raphaelites on him, in particular the work of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, whom he met probably in 1858 or shortly thereafter. It was also in 1858 that Solomon exhibited his first Royal Academy work, a drawing entitled "Isaac Offered", and two additional drawings at the Ernest Gambart's Winter Exhibition. Around 1860 Solomon met others in the Pre-Raphaelite circle, including Edward Burne-Jones, John Everett Millais, and William Holman Hunt. Georgiana Burne-Jones would recall later in life how Edward and she would marvel over Solomon's skill as a draughtsman and how popular his sketchbooks were at the time.
Solomon's 1860 Royal Academy oil painting Moses was not well liked by many critics, but William Makepeace Thackeray paid him due compliments in his Roundabout Papers. The Pre-Raphaelite patron Thomas E. Plint purchased the picture and five others from Solomon, thus becoming one of his first important patrons. Other Old Testament-themed Royal Academy contributions from the next few years included
(1861) and
The Child Jeremiah
(1862). He would continue to exhibit at the Royal Academy until 1872.
In the spring of 1862, Solomon left his brother Abraham's studio and took his own at 22 Charles Street near Middlesex Hospital. This significant move suggests his break from the shadow of his elder brother's influence. Abraham Solomon had been a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy for nearly 20 years by this time, and his reputation in the Victorian art world as a genre painter was great. Abraham's death in December of that year sealed this transition, and Solomon would thereafter be seen as the greater artist by his Pre-Raphaelite colleagues. Another important event that took place at this time was Solomon's introduction to the poet and critic Algernon Charles Swinburne through Burne-Jones or Rossetti. Swinburne's love of classicism and erotica, would be heavily influential on Solomon, who soon afterwards created a sketch of the ancient Greek poetess Sappho and a watercolor of the poetess in a lesbian affair:
Sappho and Erinna in a Garden at Mytilene
From this point in Solomon's career, classicism became a dominant style for him. Following the lead of other artists such as Frederic Leighton, Edward Poynter, and Albert Moore, he began to paint classical works such as
In the Temple of Venus
(1863) and his 1865 Royal Academy work
considered by many to be Solomon's best picture ever. Solomon took the first of three trips to Italy from 1866 to 1867, where he created some of his most beautiful pictures, including two versions of
(1867) and Heliogabalus
, the High Priest of the Sun
(1867). Solomon was on the administrative committee for the opening of the Dudley Gallery, a new venue for exhibiting watercolors and afterwards oil pictures, and he exhibited there regularly from 1865 through 1872.
Tied to his new classical style was Aestheticism, the idea of "art for art's sake" propounded by Swinburne, John Abbott McNeil Whistler, and Walter Pater. Solomon was unique among the Aesthetes, however, in that he often depicted effete or languorous youths such as the Eros figures of
Love in Autumn
(1866) and
Love Dreaming by the Sea
(1871). In retrospect, it is apparent that these works represent Solomon's attempt to explore his own homosexual identity during a time in Victorian England where male-male passion was a criminal offense and could only be expressed in a coded language. Certainly it was not only in these works that Solomon was exploring themes of homosexuality, as earlier in his life other works suggest such an affinity. These include the issue of bisexuality in the drawing
The Bride, the Bridegroom, and Sad Love
(1865), youthful religious boys in
Two Acolytes Censing
(1863), and the aforementioned depiction of Sappho and Erinna.

The Tribune-Star
A pair of unused World War II-era gasoline rationing tickets found under a back seat convinced Brent Merrill of the possible original owner of his 1934 Packard Eight convertible.
"It started, I am pretty sure, as a car for a funeral home," Merrill said of the original blue colored exterior/interior, four-passenger, 136-inch wheelbase car with a standard inline, eight cylinder engine.
Merrill, 53, of Toronto, Ontario was among 15 drivers to arrive in Terre Haute Friday during a round-trip scenic driving tour, part of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's third annual Celebration of Automobiles. The vehicles parked in front of Clabber Girl along Ninth Street, with a small section of the street closed for two hours.
The tour went through Parke County, where drivers saw covered bridges, and briefly stopped in Bridgeton.
"It gives the individuals in the event a chance to see a pretty part of Indiana and historic covered bridges. We are looking to try different things and have fun with this event," Tom Surber, spokesman for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, said of the scenic driving tour.
Vehicles that stopped in Terre Haute included Rolls Royce, Dusenbergs, Packard, Cadillac, Chevrolet and Sunbeam, among others.
Those automobiles will be among 175 classic/vintage and alternative-energy vehicles to be parked today on the east side of Pagoda Plaza during the Opening Day of the 97th Indianapolis 500 in Indianapolis. Other makers of cars to be featured include Cord, DeSoto, Excalibur, Bentley, Knox, Alfa Romeo.
The classic/vintage cars in the Celebration of Automobiles range from 1910 to 1970.
Merrill said the rationing tickets were discovered during a restoration in 2000. The tickets bore the name of John Finegan of New Jersey for a 1934 Packard. "There is a funeral home in New Jersey that is in the third generation and they confirmed, that yes, their father had owned Packards and had used them in the funeral home in the 1940s," Merrill said.
"I can't say for sure that he is the original owner, but there is a high probability or he is very close to the first owner," said Merrill, who bought the Packard in 2011 from another collector in Canada.
Todd Nagler of Rochester, Michigan, climbed out of the driver's seat, then carefully buttoned and covered the seats to his four-passenger convertible six-cylinder 1926 Springfield Ghost Rolls Royce after he arrived in Terre Haute. Nagler bought the car from his passenger, Dr. Gail Reingold of Los Angeles.
"We've been friends for years and years and years," Reingold said. "The whole idea was it is time for me to work on cars that aren't this difficult and pass it on. He wanted it and bought if from me a month ago," Reingold said of Nagler.
The car is a left-hand drive vehicle built in the United States in Springfield, Mass. "The vehicle has a custom coach work body and it is a Pall Mall. That is the model," Reingold said. "It is the epitome of touring cars. This car has been all over the world."
One feature includes an auxiliary gasoline tank on the side of the car. It looks like a black-colored metal gasoline can, but has a tube that can be pulled out that contains oil. "So it holds oil and gasoline around it in the can," Reingold said.
Nagler said he wanted to participate in the scenic driving tour "Always looking for a new adventure," Nagler said. "I really like the beauty of the car and the elegance and it is a relatively easy car to drive at modern type of speeds."
Public gates to the Indianapolis 500 today open at 10 a.m. Admission is $10 for adults with fans 12 and under admitted free with an adult. Drivers in the Indianapolis 500 this year include three-time winners Helio Castroneves and Dario Franchitti, who will attempt to join the exclusive company of A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears as four-time winners.
Rookie drivers seeking to quality for the race this year include Conor Daly of Noblesville, winner of the 2010 Pro Mazda Championship, as well as AJ Allmendinger, four-time Champ Car race winner and NASCAR standout. Also, reigning Firestone Indy Lights champion Tristian Vautier.

A Song Cycle in 13 Breaths: "Breathtales" by Ann LeBaron
On November 14 Interpretations presents the world premiere of Anne LeBaron's "Breathtails," as well as a handful of other amazing works - including the New York premiere of Los Murmullos, and the US premiere of Creación de las Aves, both written for pianist Ana Cervantes.
We have posted two pieces of music from Anne LeBaron, and we asked Anne a few questions about her career and the works presented on this concert.
What is the story with your new opera "Breathtails"?
Actually it's not an opera although everyone seems to want to call it that, so maybe it is after all! We are calling it 'a song cycle in 13 breaths.' When Tom Buckner invited me to compose a work for him with my choice of text (living or deceased writer, or write it myself) and instrumentation, I immediately knew that I wanted the poetry to focus on the breath, and that the shakuhachi, with its haunting breath-infused sonorities, would be central to the ensemble. What a rare opportunity---a coveted chance to collaborate in a non-operatic context (and thus dispense with all the baggage that such endeavors can sometimes entail) and to tailor the composition for a singer whom I greatly admire. The choice of string quartet, to complete the ensemble, was made intuitively—a united front that would function alternatively and at times simultaneously as a foundation, a foil, and a Greek chorus.

Tory Gattis of the excellent blog Houston Strategies makes a great point about the push against backyards in favor of communal open space, a sentiment prevalent in smart growth and new urbanist schemas. Here's the whole thing (links omitted):
- At David Crossley's Livable Houston meeting yesterday at HGAC, David introduced us to a century-old conceptual model of an "ideal" garden city. The essence of the concept is to replace lots of small parcels of open space - essentially peoples' yards - by combining them into large blocks of parks, greenbelts, wilderness and farmland, while people would live in moderately high-density urban/town cores. The benefits are lots of large, accessible green spaces while making pedestrian and transit-based trips easier (because of the residential and commercial density).
- Safe place for the kids to play unsupervised
- Makes owning a dog much less hassle (almost a quarter of all households)
- Substantially fewer homeless and panhandlers
- Backdoor accessibility
- Privacy
- Customizable to personal tastes (pool, hot tub, deck, fountains, plants, hammock, etc.)
- Gardening is one of the most popular hobbies in the world (ironic that the widespread desire to garden would work against a "garden city")
While an interesting concept, I think it runs up against some very powerful desires people have for their own private backyards over public parks:
As they would say in the marketing biz, the backyard is a product with a "compelling value proposition", which is probably why people are buying so many of them (aka "the suburbs"). Sure, there are plenty of people who consider a yard one big maintenance nightmare, and they're good candidates for high-density urban living with nice nearby parks (clearly a growing sentiment). But you have to wonder what the realistic long-term market share trends are.
I'd say that the ubiqitous presence of kids and dogs in the modern American family places a natural limit on the market demand for yard-less living. Personally, I've never been a big fan of having a yard to maintain, despite the pleasure I derive from amateur gardening. But having a kid instantly changed that appeal for me. While it's always fun to hop in the car to hit a local playground, I often think that it would be nice to just shuffle my daughter out the back door to hit the backyard swingset, followed by some splashing with the garden hose. Same thing with messy paints -- much more difficult in an apartment. These may seem like trivial matters, but these are precisely the kinds of intangibles that drive homebuying decisions, once you get past the basics like number of bedrooms and baths, kitchen quality, etc.

I also believed he was a threat in that he was — every single solitary U.N. resolution which he agreed to abide by, which was the equivalent of a peace agreement at the United Nations, after he got out of — after we kicked him out of Kuwait, he was violating. Now, the rules of the road either mean something or they don't. The international community says "We're going to enforce the sanctions we placed" or not. And what was the international community doing? The international community was weakening. They were pulling away."[...]Around that time, Biden in an interview with the Huffington Post, he assessed Obama and Hillary Clinton: "The more people learn about them (Obama and Hillary) and how they handle the pressure, the more their support will evaporate."

"Sets In Motion": Game-Changing New Women's Wakeboard Series Aims to Progress and Promote the Sport
Back in 2010, after she'd had a stunning season – which included becoming the first female to land a 900 – then-wakeboard team manager Matty Swanson posed the question, "What's next?" Amber Wing wanted to do a film project. That conversation was the genesis of "Sets In Motion," a new, game-changing women's wakeboard series. "Women in wakeboarding don't get asked to film or aren't included in any filming projects, and there's maybe 3 or 4 guys ones every year, so I wanted to create a platform and a project for the girls that's going to be timeless and online and for everyone to see forever," explained Amber Wing, the reigning Queen of Wake who in January became the first female to land a double flip. "It gives the girls something to work towards, and not just be riding for contests, because its different riding for contests than free-riding. It was an idea, in a way, for me to push the girls and motivate them to progre...

If you have bought an off-the-shelf computer recently, chances are that it came with Windows preloaded onto the system. Unfortunately,
many of these systems with Windows preinstalled do not come with a Windows setup CDROM; at best they include a Recovery Disk that
restores the system to its shipping condition. If you plan to reformat and do a clean installation of your
system, you might think that you have to buy another additional Windows XP licence even though you have already paid for one for that
same machine. This article shows you how you can re-create a usable and bootable Windows XP installation CD using your running system.
There are at least a few reasons why you might need a bootable Windows Setup disc:
I'm sure there are many other possible reasons why you might need a Windows Installation CD, but let's get on with the procedure for
making one.
Before you can recreate a bootable Windows installation disk, certain things are required:
This guide only applies to Windows XP systems, be it XP Home or Professional. I have not tested this procedure on other versions of
This is essential. Without this, the procedure outlined on this page will not work. To find out whether
you can use the steps listed on this page to re-create your bootable Windows XP setup disk, look for into your
system drive (usually the C: drive), and see if you can find a folder named I386 in the root directory.
That is, see if you have the C:\I386 folder on your hard disk.
If your PC or laptop came from the major PC vendors like HP, Dell or Acer, chances are that there is an I386 folder at the root of drive C:,
unless you've deleted it.
Note that only c:\i386 contains the files needed for this operation. Do not use the files in "C:\Windows\Driver Cache\i386" or any other folders.
When you bought your PC or laptop, it probably already came with Windows pre-activated, which means that you could use the computer out-of-the-box
without having to enter your Windows licence key from Microsoft or needing to activate the machine.
However, when you reinstall Windows, you will need a Windows licence key. You can usually find this taped somewhere on your computer (sometimes on
the underside or back of the computer). Without this, you won't get far in the installation.
Some manufacturers provide you with the device drivers for your system on a CD that comes with your system. Others require you to go to their
website and download these drivers. Whichever the case may be, make sure you have all your drivers handy before you start. Burn them onto a CD or DVD.
Do not leave them on your hard disk, since your clean installation of Windows will probably wipe out everything on your hard disk.
If your computer has SATA, IDE, SCSI or other mass storage devices (for your hard disks) that the Windows installer does not recognize out of the box,
you will need to create a floppy disk with the drivers for that device. At the appropriate time, when Windows prompts you to hit F6 to load the drivers
from a floppy disk, you will need to so. This is however outside the scope of this tutorial.
If your manufacturer has not provided you with any device drivers, or if you have lost the drivers CD or DVD that the vendor has provided you,
all is not lost. You can try using a device driver backup program to extract the existing drivers on your currently running system. Burn the drivers
onto a CD or DVD before starting. You can get a device driver backup program from the
Free Device Driver Backup and Extraction Utilities page
on thefreecountry.com. Note that backing up your device drivers in this manner will not help you if your computer has SATA, IDE, SCSI or other
mass storage devices (for your hard disk) that Windows setup does not recognise. In such cases, you need the manufacturers' textmode drivers
which the driver backup utility will not recreate.
You will need to have a CD/DVD burning software that will allow you to create Bootable CDs. Not all DVD or CD mastering programs allow you to
do this, especially the OEM versions that are bundled with new computers or DVD/CD writers.
For the purpose of this tutorial, I will use ImgBurn, a free burning software that you can find listed on the
Free CD and DVD Burners and Copying Software page.
You can of course use other software, but since it is difficult for me to write a tutorial that covers every possible burning software around,
this guide will assume that you are using ImgBurn. Since the software is available free of charge, I doubt that this choice will pose significant hardship
for anyone.
You will also need the boot sector of an existing bootable Windows 2000, XP or 2003 setup CDROM. The easiest way to get this is to download
the file wxp10.zip from one of the links on
http://www.nu2.nu/download.php?sFile=wxp10.zip. In fact, you should do this now.
Download the file and save it on your desktop. You will need the file later.
I would also strongly suggest that you make a backup image of your entire system before you reinstall it. By entire system, I mean
the whole system and not just your data. This is important in case there is some glitch in your installation or some fault in the setup CD that you create,
resulting in an unusable system. In such a situation, you will be able to restore your working system from your backup image. (If you
are not sure what a backup image is, or think that I'm only talking about saving your documents to another location, or worse, think that
"image" refers to some sort of picture, please do not carry on with this procedure.)
If you don't have a decent hard disk backup and image software, you can check out the
Free Hard Disk Backup and Restore, Hard Disk Image and Cloning Utilities
page. If you are tinkering with your system, you owe it to yourself (and your sanity) to get a good hard disk image (backup) program.
Note that there are NO GUARANTEES with the
procedure I outline here. It is possible that it does not work - for example, if your vendor has deleted some essential file in the I386 folder
(which we will need), your installation may well fail at some crucial point after it has formatted your hard disk! It is also possible that my
procedure will not work on your system, or that I made some mistake in describing it here. So do it all at your own risk.
And make sure you have an up-to-date backup of your system
that you know works.
Create a temporary working folder at the root (top) of the C: drive called "XPSETUP" (without the quotes). Actually, you can name it anything
you want and put it anywhere you like, but for ease of explanation, the remainder of the steps below will assume that you have
created the XPSETUP folder in the root of drive C:. This C:\XPSETUP folder will be where you will create the CDROM directory structure for your bootable Windows CD.
Copy the entire C:\I386 to C:\XPSETUP. When you have finished, you will have C:\XPSETUP\I386. Notice that I said "copy", not "move". Do NOT
drag and drop the I386 folder into the XPSETUP directory. If you do so, you may end up moving it into the XPSETUP folder (depending on where you created the
XPSETUP folder). It is important to work from a copy of the I386 directory so that if you make mistakes, you can simply go back and start all over again.
If you move the directory or drag and drop it, and you make a mistake, your mistake will be permanent. So once again, COPY the entire I386 folder to XPSETUP.
It may take a while for the copy operation to complete, but it's safer this way.
If you're not sure how to copy, follow the following procedure: Highlight the I386 folder using Windows Explorer. Right-click the folder and select
"Copy". Then open the XPSETUP folder. The folder should be empty at the moment. Right click the empty space in the window and click "Paste".
A very lengthy copy procedure will take place.
To verify that you have copied the folder and not moved it, return to the top of C: and check that the I386 folder is still there and that
the original files in that folder are still there.
Create an ASCII text file with only the word "Windows " (without the quotes and including the final space after the word "Windows") in it, followed
by a new line. To do this, open up Notepad. Notepad can be found in your Start menu -> Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad. Type the word "Windows"
without the quotes and following my case exactly (that is, "W" is a capital letter and the rest are in small letters). Then type one additional space.
Finally, hit the ENTER key. Do not add anything else to this file. Do not change anything - for example, do not type everything in capital letters
or anything like that. The contents of the file must be exactly as I said, or Windows setup will issue an error message.
Save the file with the filename "WIN51" (include the quotes so that Notepad will not add a ".txt" extension behind your back)
in C:\XPSETUP. Again, the filename's spelling and case must be exactly like mine.
If your PC or laptop originally came with XP Home, make a copy of the file you just created and call it
"WIN51IC". If you are using XP Home Service Pack 1 (SP 1), make two copies of the file and call them "WIN51IC" and
"WIN51IC.SP1". If you are using XP Home Service Pack 2 (SP 2), make three copies of the file and call
them "WIN51IC", "WIN51IC.SP1" and "WIN51IC.SP2". All the copies of the files should be in C:\XPSETUP.
If your PC or laptop originally came with XP Professional, make a copy of the file you just created
and call it "WIN51IP". If you are using XP Professional Service Pack 1 (SP 1), make two copies of the file and call them "WIN51IP" and
"WIN51IP.SP1". If you are using XP Professional Service Pack 2 (SP 2), make three copies of the file and call
them "WIN51IP", "WIN51IP.SP1" and "WIN51IP.SP2". All the copies of the files should be in C:\XPSETUP.
Note carefully what I said above. You may be running XP SP 2 now, but if your PC came with XP SP 1, you
should create the files for XP SP 1. There is an exception to this. If your PC or laptop came with XP or XP SP 1, but you want your Windows install CD
to install XP SP 2, create the WIN51 files needed for SP 2 and follow the procedure for slipstreaming Windows service pack 2 (SP 2) into the
Windows setup CDROM given in the next step.
If your PC or laptop came originally with XP or XP SP 1 (service pack 1) but you want your Windows
setup disk to install XP SP 2, do the following. Otherwise, skip to the next step.
Note that even if you have since updated your computer to SP 2, you will still need to do this
step if you want your setup CD to install Windows XP Service Pack 2. The reason is that updating your
running Windows system does not automatically update the I386 directory. Your I386 directory still contains
the Windows setup files belonging to whatever version of Windows you had when you first bought your PC/laptop.
Download Windows XP service pack 2 from
Save it anywhere you like except in the C:\XPSETUP folder. For the purpose of this tutorial, I will assume you
saved it as C:\XPSP2.EXE, that is, in the root folder with the filename "XPSP2.EXE".
You will need to update the C:\XPSETUP\I386 folder to contain the updated SP 2 files. As a side benefit,
the service pack 2 updater will also create a few files (including setup.exe) in the C:\XPSETUP folder.
This process of integrating the service pack files into the original XP or XP SP 1 is known as "slipstreaming".
To slipstream SP 2, first open up a command prompt. To do this, click the Start menu, select the Run menu
item, and enter the words "cmd". Click the OK button. A black command prompt window will open.
Enter the following line into the window and press the ENTER key.
C:\XPSP2 /integrate:C:\XPSETUP
After the program finishes, you can close the command prompt window. If you look into your XPSETUP folder, you will notice a few new files there.
At this point, the C:\XPSETUP directory contains all the files that will be copied to your
Windows Setup CDROM. Don't worry if the directory does not contain files like "setup.exe" which
you see on the retail CDROMs. You won't need it for a fresh install from the bootable CDROM. Note: You will only have "setup.exe" if you
had to slipstream Service Pack 2 as mentioned earlier. The Service Pack 2 slipstreamer creates setup.exe for you.
Now open the wxp10.zip file that you downloaded earlier. Simply doubleclicking it in Windows explorer should do the trick. Go into the cds
directory and into wxphome (or wxppro; it doesn't matter which) directory, followed by the files directory. Drag the "w2ksect.bin" file
into C:\ (the root directory/folder of drive C:). Don't get creative and place it in some other directory. If you do that, ImgBurn will not be
able to find c:\w2ksect.bin later.
If you have not downloaded ImgBurn, get it now and install it. You will find it listed
on thefreecountry.com's
Free CD and DVD Burners and Copying Software page.
The version of ImgBurn I used to create this guide was 220.127.116.11. My cursory test of a later version, 188.8.131.52, found that the resulting disk was not made correctly.
Therefore, you should avoid 126.96.36.199. Either use the earlier version or get a version later than 188.8.131.52, if any, that has the bugs
Open up Notepad, and copy the text from the box below (make sure you select everything - click in the box and type Ctrl+A to select all)
and paste it into a blank Notepad window. Save the file as "XPSETUP.ibb" (including the quotes,
which you need to prevent Notepad from adding a ".txt" extension to your filename) somewhere on your desktop (or anywhere you like). Do not add
or delete anything from the file.
Start ImgBurn. Select Mode -> Build from the menu.
Select File -> Load Project from the menu. A dialog box will open. Select the XPSETUP.ibb file you saved earlier and click "Open". If you
can't find a "Load Project" item on the File menu, it means you did not carry out the previous step. Go back and do it.
Click the "Labels" tab on the right side of the screen. Change the label in the ISO9660 field to one of the following, depending on
what type of bootable setup CD you're making.
This step is probably optional if you can't be bothered. I seem to recall having entered a wrong label in the past without having the Windows installer
fail on me.
Finally, click the "Write" icon at the bottom of the window. To find out which picture the "Write" button is (there are no visual cues, even as to which
picture actually represents a button), hover your mouse over the the pictures near the bottom of the window and wait for the tooltip to appear.
When you hover your mouse over the correct picture, a tooltip will appear with the text "Write". (Note: depending on your version of ImgBurn, your
icon may read "Build" instead of "Write".)
A dialog box will probably pop up saying something like "You've only selected 1 folder! C:\XPSETUP. Does the 'XPSETUP' folder
represent the root directory for the image content? (Otherwise the 'XPSETUP' folder will be visible in the root directory of
the image.)" Click "Yes" to this. Basically, you want the contents of the XPSETUP folder to be what you see when you view the CDROM's top level
If you get an error message from ImgBurn regarding "c:\w2ksect.bin", it means that you have missed one of the steps outlined above.
Return to that paragraph
and complete the step before continuing.
At this point, the bootable Windows setup disk will be created. To use it, place the CD into the CD drive, make sure your BIOS is set to boot first from your
CD drive, and reboot. Voila, if all goes well, the Windows installer starts up and you're on the way to reinstalling your system.

"This is a quick and easy dinner solution that is a big hit at my table. You can use perch, walleye, tilapia, and probably any other kind of fish you'd like. I find that everyone likes certain tastes, so feel free to spice it up however you like. I will sometimes add more of the ingredients on top of the fish before putting in the oven for more flavor."

Nice texture and wonderful flavor. I used Ritz crackers since they were on hand. I also would consider the Parmesean as a "required" item. There is something about it when combined with the other ingredients that makes this special.
love to cook
This is a winner..... So much my picky eater two year old gobbled it up
Delicious, fast, and easy! I've never made fish before, but wanted to try it. I used Tilapia filets, and Italian breadcrumbs instead of cracker crumbs and seasonings. My husband and kids ate every bite! I'll be making this again!

Lander/Riverton and the Wind River Reservation Received Stronger Wyoming Public Radio Service
Wyoming Public Radio is now heard on 90.9 in the Wind River corridor. Classical Wyoming, WPM's classical music service, is now heard on 91.9.
Wyoming Public Media (WPM) changed frequencies in the Lander/Riverton area.
"The stronger KUWW 90.0 ensures an improved signal and has a broader reach. The new signal represents a power increase from 10 watts to 8,000 watts," says Shane Toven, WPM Director of Engineering.
[The move was made possible through a transfer of KFTW educational frequency, licensed to Fremont County School District 21, to Wyoming Public Media, and a cooperative agreement with the Shoshone & Arapaho Tribes Joint Business Council to broadcast from a tower site in the Sand Hills located on the Wind River Indian Reservation. The Tribe's role in the agreement is acknowledged in the Station IDs at the top of each hour.]
