New classes start in February at LBK Education Center
Date: January 30, 2013
by: Katie Hendrick | Community Editor
For 24 years, the Longboat Key Education Center has satisfied locals' curiosities on topics ranging from movies to modern Hebrew poetry. And this year will be no different.
The Education Center, which offers roughly 150 courses from October to May, will launch 44 new programs in February, which include lectures, workshops, breakfast discussions and field trips. Among them: three courses that delve into the Sunshine State's natural wonders.
"Florida has such fascinating histories," said director Susan Goldfarb. "We try to penetrate the natural sciences to acquaint people with the birds, the flora and the fauna on this island."
If science doesn't pique your interest, fear not: The Education Center offers a liberal-arts curriculum, with classes in concentrations such as religion, history, literature and the arts, as well. For a complete course catalogue, visit lbkeducationcenter.org/.
Key-inspired Curriculum
These three courses aim to inform residents about their local environment.
The History of Natural Florida
Jeff Rodgers, director of education at the South Florida Museum, leads this exploration of the Sunshine State's geological, biological, ecological and anthropological histories.
Land and Sea of Longboat Key
Harriet Gayle, a former interpretive naturalist for the Stamford Museum and Nature Center in Stamford, Conn., teaches this study of native and introduced plants, the mangrove community, coastal geology, shore birds, the Gulf of Mexico and beach creatures.
Let's Go Birding
Michael Givant, Ph.D., a retired sociology professor who has birded across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, The Galapagos Islands and Africa, guides this in-the-field course. Students will learn to identify Longboat Key's birds in their natural habitat. Binoculars and "about a mile of pleasantly paced walking" are requirements for this class.

Kailyn Lowry Has a Personal Message For Her Haters (PHOTO)
Teen Mom 2's Kailyn Lowry has been through a lot. Having received plenty of verbal abuse as a child, Kailyn's done hearing hate from her Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram followers.
She's moving forward in her life — currently engaged to Javi Marroquin and raising baby Isaac. And today the reality starlet tweeted, "This is for everyone who fights about nonsense on every single one of my pictures. #cheers," with the fortune cookie photo below.
So wise, so yummy.
The fortune was placed on top of what we assume are some of Kailyn's dental hygienist notes. Glad to see this go-getter is studying and inspiring at the same time!
What do you think of Kailyn's message? Tell us below!

So what Framingham business were you sad to see go in 2012?
Below are a few that closed.

Agree on Nuwaves. It was a small specialty retailer trying to fight the good fight against the pharmacy chains and mall stores. They probably never had a chance, but good for them for trying.
Jenna Rollins

SO sad about Nuwaves having closed. Best -- and only -- store of its type for miles around. Heartbreaking for a card-lover like me! I wish that spot, or somewhere else in town, would open with a similar type of business. It's much-needed!

The fitness club at the Sheraton Hotel that closed on Sunday. I loved it there because it was so quiet and uncrowded.

uncrowded = losing $$. Try Evolve next door. It's fantastic and only $30/month.

So in summer 2012 my husband's Nissan (serviced at this horrible dealer) left me stranded on the highway in New Hampshire. Turns out they did not connect all of the bolts and hoses and the engine did an emergency shutoff to...save my life. Nissan in Maine was beyond fantastic and they took photo and video to document everything. Nissan in Framingham refunded the $ for the service appointment, and I did not report them to the BBB. Horrible dealer and I say good riddance. They are lucky I did not press charges and get lawyers involved. I'm lucky I did not get hurt. So to see this Nissan dealer and the headline "sad". I'd have to say nope. They still owe me around $250 and sadly I don't think I'll ever see the $$ (wrote a letter to corporate).
12:13 pm on Wednesday, January 2, 2013
I agree. My husband and I bought our last SUV there and we love Nissan but that dealership was plan rude. We bought the car and then 2 months later our wind shield wiper motor went and I felt that since we had just bought it and no we didnt get the extended warranty they told us we would have to pay full price, not even a discount or anything. They kept telling us "thats why we tell people to buy the extended warranty", I am glad they are closed. That was just one episode of many with our services that we got there. Ughhhh

I bought compact discs of Mana in Hispano Americana Record Shop (407 Waverly Street, corner Concord Street). The shop closed. People buy iTunes now rather than compact discs. Our New Year's Eve party used YouTube for music... no compact discs. Downtown Framingham does not yet have Shoppers World's quality of parking.

GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel locally or using remote computers. A job is typically a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. If you use xargs today you will find GNU parallel very easy to use, as GNU parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. If you use ppss or pexec you will find GNU parallel will often make the command easier to read. GNU parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU parallel as input for other programs.

He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the Lord- Psalms 113:9
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there were none of them- Psalm 139:13-16
Behold, children are a gift from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is his reward. Blessed is the man who FILLS HIS QUIVER with them! Psalms 127:3-5
Are you sensing a theme here? Well, if not, then let me show you my new t-shirt- the one that I bought to wear as an early birthday gift for Zack (who is turning 40 in just over a week!!)...... Well, for those of you that are still wondering, here's one final clue......
YES, YES, YES!!!!!! YES that is a pregnancy test and YES we are expecting BABY #8!!!!!! Our quiver is cram-packed!!!!!!!
Yesterday, I took this pregnancy test and wasn't too surprised to see the result. I was already "late" and was having a few "symptoms," so I finally decided to test. When Allie got home from school yesterday, I asked her if she'd help me with an early b-day gift for her dad. I showed her the t-shirt, so she'd know what was going on, and, needless to say, she was speechless (quite unusual for Allie!). When Zack got home from work, I already had the t-shirt on and just walked around, waiting for him to notice. Allie had the video camera and captured not only his reaction, but also the reactions of all of our kids. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get the video uploaded last night, but I will try to get that posted in a couple of days- it's really fun! After the kids got the news, they proceeded to go door-to-door telling all our neighbors about the good news! Surely they were
So, now on to the details- well, there aren't many! We are expecting a baby on or around May 2nd, and I am about 4 weeks pregnant- aren't you all thrilled to be getting in on this sooooo early?! I'm not one of those people who believes in waiting to make an announcement. You see, this baby is already here. This baby has already been created. This baby has already had an impact on many lives. And this baby, no matter what the future holds, will always be a part of our family.
I can't even begin to tell you how honored, excited, and truly blessed we feel about this amazing gift from God.
Every good and perfect gift is from above.

Stayed for six nights. Lovely, spacious, well-furnished room with only one problem. The bathroom was tiny. However that was more than cancelled out by the excellent breakfasts and the kindness and warmth shown by the owners, Angela and Kevin. Just 15 minutes walk to the City centre and a bus stop virtually outside the place. Excellent value for money and... More

Post subject: Crane Cams V8Stockcar @ Charlotte Aug. 18, 2012
The summer break is over, and the Crane Cams V8 StockCar racers are ready to get back in action. Charlotte Motor Speedway, the historic track designed and built by Bruton Smith and his partner, Nascar legend Curtis Turner, will be the venue. The "Daylight into Dark" SCCA regional races will be sanctioned and manned by the fine folks of the Central Carolina's Region SCCA. The V8 races will have two thirty minute sprint race, one Saturday morning, and the other at seven pm Saturday night, running under the lights.
Some thirty V8 racers are expected including the Monette Racing Group, which features last years overall winner Zach Monette in his diabolical Trans Am Mustang. Family Patriarch, Bob Monette has his own wicked V8 GT-1 Camaro and daughter Paige Alexander will be wheeling her silver C6 Corvette. In addition, teammate Mike Kelly will compete in his C6 Corvette. Charles Wicht will be on hand in his super quick Rocketsports Corvette, Ray Cocoziello in his C5 Corvette and CMP runner up Wayne Cabaniss in a C4 Corvette. Clint Thomas will bring out his fast, winged Monte Carlo to do battle as well.
In the V8 SPO class, expect a good fight between Willie Mullins in his Bugsy's Automotive Monte Carlo, Lee Arnold in the V8StockCar.com Monte Carlo and Mickey Wright in her Ford Fusion.
In the V8 GTA class there is no telling who might come out on top as many former winners will be on hand including Bobby and Roger Reuse, Butch Kummer, Ron Fariss, Ricky Sanders, Bob Davis and more.
In V8 GT2, CMP winner Miles Barefoot looks to add to his win total in his Porsche 911. Barefoot will be challenged by Dan Schlickenmeyer in his Mustang, Robert Hayschack in a FFR Cobra and Andre Balanc in a C5 Z06 Corvette.

Thrills and Spills at Charlotte
The Crane Cams V8 StockCar Series returned to famed Charlotte Motor Speedway for round five of the 2012 season. Last years double winner Zach Monette was again looking to be the class of the field putting his Monette Racing Group Ford Mustang V8 GT-1 on the overall pole Saturday morning with a 1:14.164 on a very slick track. Surprisingly, Ricky Sanders grabbed the second overall and first V8 GTA spot in his PitBoxes.com Monte Carlo with a 1:16.341 effort. Ricky, no stranger to high speed ovals is a former Nascar Nationwide and Craftsman Truck Series competitor. The Monette Racing Group grabbed the third spot in the order with Zach's sister Paige Alexander clocking a 1:16.758 in her Optech Monette Corvette. Paul Arey in his Performance Auto Works Olds Cutlass and Clint Thomas in his Living on the Edge/R12 winged Monte Carlo rounded out the top five overall. Ken Morgan nabbed the top spot in V8 SPO in his Morgan Lumber Monte Carlo with Dan Schlickenmeyer besting the V8 GT2 field in his Griggs Racing/Nitto Tire Mustang.
The group lost CMP V8 GT2 winner Miles Barefoot in qualifying when he got loose in turn 3 and backed his Albion Associates Porsche 911 into the armco during his qualifying run.
Race 9 of the Crane Cams V8 Series lit off at 12:54 with polesitter Zach Monett rocketing away from the field in his Optech Monette Mustang. Only three laps into the event, Ken Morgan got loose in his Monte Carlo and impacted the jersey barrier on the outside of turn 1. Morgan ricocheted off the wall blocking half the entry into one. Ricky Sanders following close behind and with no where to go hit Morgan hard. John Morgan was next giving Sanders a head on shot. Willie Mullins dodged left to avoid the pile up, forcing Bob Monette into the jersey barrier on the left. Monette's Camaro impacted with the left front sending the left front wheel twenty plus feet into the air according to witnesses. Luckily no one was seriously injured, but the raced was red flagged as the workers began cleaning up the mess. In all, a half dozen cars were damaged sufficiently to retire them from the weekend. As the clean up took more than a half hour, the race was called with the rest of the field sitting on pit row.
The race stewards scored the race by going back to the last lap before the crash. Zach Monette was credited with the overall and V8 GT-1 win, with V8 GTA winner Roger Reuse second and Bob Davis (V8 GTA) third.
Ken Morgan got the V8 SPO win despite taking home a totaled racer. Ray Cocoziello took second in V8 GT-1 in his Corvette with Randy Walker and Butch Kummer next in their V8 GTA rides. Williamsburg, Virginia's Dan Schlickenmeyer bested the V8 GT2 field with Dainton Brooks and Robert Hasychak rounding out the top three in the class.
The V8 Series race ten started around 8 pm under the lights with Zach Monette again on the pole with a quick 1:13.184 with a fast improving Paul Arey along side him at 1:13.902. Paige Alexander had picked up about 2 seconds from her morning effort in her Corvette, clocking a fine 1:14.552.
When the green flew, Monette, Arey and Alexander left the rest of the field in their wake. All three were running their best laps of the weekend. Arey was never more than a couple car lengths back in the opening laps with Alexander less than a second back of him. Ray Cocoziello (V8 GT-1 Corvette and Tad Segars (V8 SPO Monte Carlo were waging a fine battle for the fourth and fifth overall spots. Butch Kummer was on fire in his number 57 V8 GTA Monte Carlo running stronger than he has in more than a year. Ricky Sanders started shotgun on the field in his back up V8 GTA Monte Carlo and was flying through the field in search of the fleeing Kummer. Brooks and Schlickenmeyer were having a good go in their V8 GT2 entry's with the duo rarely more than a few feet apart.
About half way through the race, Alexander had a tire go down in the front straight, she appeared to just kiss the outside wall coming to a rest just off the track. Paige's day was done, but she impressed those in attendance with her speed and tenacity. Up front, Monette was beginning to pull out a couple second lead over Arey when suddenly he suffered the same fate as sister Paige, in nearly the same spot. Arey quickly took the point and was unchallenged to the checker. Ray Cocoziello ran solidly in his first V8 Series race and came home second overall and second in V8 GT-1. In V8 GTA Sanders finally caught up to Kummer who was just beginning to fade just a bit. Sanders got by and held on for the win with Kummer second. Roger Reuse took the final spot on the podium, with Randy Walker fourth and Bobby Reuse fifth.
Tad Segars got the win in V8 SPO in his Kimrey Racing/Smith Living Group Monte Carlo with maybe his strongest performance to date. Doug Sanders came home second with Mickey Wright third. Dan Schlickenmeyer just edged Brooks before the checker to again take the V8 GT2 win with Robert Hasychak third.
The Crane Cams V8 Series wishes to thank the Central Carolina Region and their workers for the great job they did hosting the event.
Next up for the V8 racers is Homestead Miami Speedway on September 15 & 16.

Although I came very close to having one myself, I love staying in touch with what they have and no shock to me - they are the perfect place to visit to outfit your furry baby and to support the fight against Breast Cancer! Whether it's a cute tee or simply a dog charm, every little bit helps!
Lipgloss is everything! It adds a pep to your step, the amount of color you choose to rock and fab nutrients as well! Elizabeth Grant has an extensive skincare and makeup line that I talk about a lot on Kitten Lounge but I am loving this perfect hue that also has a little LED light and gold mirror which ensures that you're never in the dark when it comes to your looks. In addition, they are also supporting the fight against Breast Cancer with this purchase! During the month of Oct Light Up Your Lips so that by purchasing at this time, 20% of the proceeds will go to the cause.when you place Sweet Pink in your cart.
All of the items included in the above spread benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, if you want to see more items, make sure to check out their site to see others spreading the support fashionably. This grouping focuses on fun accessories which you can rock while also supporting the cause! I love that I was invited to the Accessories Council Pink Picks event #ACPinkPicks.
We'll kick off with one of my fave designers, Alex Woo (@Alex_Woo) who supports the cause through her participation in annual runs as well as financially supporting the cause. Alex's mom passed away due to Breast Cancer and hearing her story made everyone feel her passion. I adore her Pink Ribbon Chord bracelet which is fully adjustable and wears well throughout the year and can be stacked with a number of other fun pieces.
Thale Blanc (@ThaleBlanc) is a relatively new line that debuted during our event that evening. When I tell you that her pouches which are meant to house your phone, cash and small items while you're out and about is the softest thing ever - is an understatement. I also loved that while we were there and because the designer was listening to various stories and passions - she popped back up after her piece had been presented and decided to donate $50 of the proceeds from each purchase to this cause - definitely check her website out for more details but this is such a fab travel must!
From traveling we talk about making your music go with you as well. I fell in love with Chic Buds (@ChicBuds) which is a keychain speaker that connects to your laptops, phones and tablets! I love the idea that you get phenomenal sound and you don't have to have a lot of room to take it with you. All the chords you need come with this as well.
I've always been a lingerie girl, I think you need to find pieces that speak to you whether it's for a night in or you have your own viewing taking place with your significant other! In my travels (since I'm always heading to a factory to create a new line, doing a TV segment or scouting), I love the idea of being able to slip into something fabulous that allows me to have some down time and if there is a phenomenal robe that goes with it - true luxury has been obtained! Brulee is a favorite of mine as they know how to keep it simple, luxe and decadent which is all you need. Of course, they're being included as they have chosen to donate 25% of all sales proceeds from the Boudoir Cami & Short in Blush (retail value $124.00 & $86.00) sold online at Brulee.net to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Donation will go into effect October 1st, 2011 and end October 31st, 2011. This is a great way to add some dreamy elegance to another segment of your wardrobe while also supporting a network of those work to ensure that Breast Cancer is a thing of the past.
Our spread above focuses on beauty items that are participating this year in supporting the research and funding of breast cancer; moreover, you can find out more by visiting BCRF's Facebook Page or @BCRFWorldPink. You can't talk about BCRF, supporting brands and amazing products without starting off with Estee Lauder (@EsteeLauder) - especially since Evelyn Lauder is the Founder and Chairman of BCRF. Although there were a number of goodies from this brand, I was super excited about La Mer's Lip Balm which I enjoyed its mintiness last night! It's available on their site starting in Oct and at specialty stores such as Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's and Saks. Our Canadian Kittens can enjoy getting it exclusively at Holt Renfrew. Available at $45, $10 will be donated from each purchase.
Elizabeth Hurley Pink Ribbon Collection is $24 with 20% of the purchase price going to the cause. This was available starting on Aug 1st and will continue through to the end of the year at Estee Lauder counters, their website or until supplies last! I love that you receive Pure Color Crystal Lipstick in Lavish Pink as well as this fab accessory bag which is super cute.
Finally, Bobbi Brown offers a limited edition set in her Bellini High Shimmier Lip Gloss and Pink Lip Color. This is the perfect shade of pink and will be available from Oct 1st through the end of the year at theur counters, website or until supplies last. Available for $44, they are donating $10 to the cause. There are a number of beauty products that are supporting this cause so make sure that you check out BCRF.
When I appeared on HSN in late August, I rocked a number of fab jewelry pieces while I was co-hosting for my spokeswork with Sebago. One of the pieces was Chan Luu who has a number of bracelets that I am a huge fan of. Although I wore won of their wrap bracelets, I also rocked one of their pink Swarovski pieces which has been a staple in my collection!
Chan of Chan Luu actually designed the above collection in partnership with Breast Cancer.org for their Global Breast Cancer Preventative Initiative as apart of Think Pink. Live Green. In turn, 50% of the proceeds will go to this cause!
I love this fab shade from Shiseido in Shimmering Rouge Lipstick in Iron Maiden (RS308)! But even more then this hue that is perfect for the fall season, I love that Shiseido is donating $5 to Breast Cancer Awareness during the month of Oct which will go to Cancer and Careers (part of CEW) as they have done over the past 5 years!
Scoop NYC is an amazing store that always has a number of looks from fab designers. They too are joining the support by providing 30% of the proceeds of a number of amazing product to the BCRF! Stock up on goodies for a notable cause and help women who will love your help!
Not only is it important to shop to support a cause, but when you're able to learn about your body and find the best bra and your size to boot - then you understand a bit of why I am such a fan of Natori! Simply download their new Bra App and a $1 from this will go to support breast cancer research! This is such a great tie into Breast Cancer Awareness and prevention with long lasting effects for everyone!

1. | Stans | ||
Reference to one of the best songs ever by Eminem called "Stan" about an Obsessed fan who ends up killing himself and his wife over Eminem not writing him back. Basically it describes someone who is all up on their favorite artist's schlong, and can't take criticism or the slightest negative about said artist. But instead of "fans", they're called "Stans", get it? Me: Man I just got rid of all the Jay-Z shit on my Computer
Homie: For Real? Me: Yeah, Jay-Z Stans can go eat a dick |
2. | stans | ||
Those countries whose names end in 'stan,' including Afghanistan, Kazhakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and probably some others I've forgotten about. Now let's see what the weather is like in the stans.
3. | Stans | ||
Intelligent, captivating, and to be sexually deviant with your right hand (never the left that would be Gelter) Did you hear McCafferty got his "stans" on in the library with Maria 6th period.
4. | stans | ||
Plural of stan. As in person from Pakistan residing in England. "Them fucking stans are taking over" - Observation.
"I'm gonna get some rice from that stan market" - When needs must. "The only good thing about stans, is that they cook a cunting good curry" - On night on ale. "That must be a fucking stan car" - When hearing a car stereo before it's in sight. Also, on seeing a shit MR2 that has had tinted windows and big bore exhaust. "Aw fuck. I've gotta sit next to a stan" - Worst case scenario. Only one seat left on public transport. "I wish all them stans would fuck off" - Best case scenario.

Texas Lawmaker Wants $2 Billion For Water Infrastructure
A Republican lawmaker is proposing Texas spend $2 billion to implement a sweeping plan to ensure the drought-prone state has enough water for its rapidly expanding population.
Two bills filed Thursday by state Rep. Allan Ritter would double the amount of money Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst proposed spending on water projects.
The Nederland Republican proposes taking $2 billion from the Rainy Day Fund to bolster infrastructure, including new dams and reservoirs, as outlined in the State Water Plan. Ritter chairs the House Natural Resources Committee.
Every five years, Texas reports on the state's water needs for 50 years and proposes solutions. But the plans are unfunded, and a two-year drought has made water a hot topic.
House Speaker Joe Straus says water will be a priority this legislative session.

LOS ANGELES >> From week to week fans simply never know which characters will survive the relentless zombie attacks on AMC's hit series "The Walking Dead."
That unpredictability keeps viewers on the edge of their seats and the shows' stars in a constant state of alertness.
"You see series and they last a long time and sometimes the writing gets lazy or the acting gets lazy. Because we're in a zombie apocalypse and anyone can go at any time, it sort of keeps us fresh and on our toes," Norman Reedus told The Associated Press Friday.
Fans lined up around the block to watch a panel discussion with Reedus and his co-stars at Paleyfest, the annual Southern California TV celebration. Many in the crowd showed their support for Reedus' crossbow-wielding character, Daryl Dixon, with their "If Daryl dies we riot!" T-shirts.
The 44-year-old actor says his vocal fan base is responsible for his character's impressive longevity in a series that seems to have no qualms in axing its most popular characters.
"Hell yes. Oh my god, yes," he said. "(They're) keeping me on the show."
"The Walking Dead" focuses on a rag-tag band of surviving refugees, including unruly brothers Daryl and Merle Dixon, who were not part of the series' comic book origins.
"I want to be Daryl Dixon in my next life," joked co-star Laurie Holden. "He's sexy and he's got the rugged thing going on."
When asked about his breakout star status, Reedus becomes humble and tries to turn the spotlight on his Golden Globe-nominated cast.
"I watch them grow and I watch myself grow. It's one of those acting things where like I'll be in a scene with her or with him and I'll say should I try this? And they'll go `yeah' and I'll believe them and I'll trust them. Everyone wants everyone to just kill it," Reedus said with a laugh.

RISM in the Classroom at the University of Vienna
At the University of Vienna, Ikarus Kaiser taught the first course that focused on working with the RISM database. Ten musicology students attended.
Thanks to the outstanding cooperation of Martin Czernin, the leader of the Schottenstift Archive (Scottish Abbey) in Vienna, nine class sessions were held in the archive from November 2011 to January 2012, following an introductory phase in October 2011. The course was designed for the specific research opportunities afforded by the music manuscripts in this archive (RISM library siglum: A-Ws). The goal was to learn and work with the Kallisto program, which is used worldwide to enter records into the RISM database. The RISM Zentralredaktion set up collective access for the course, through which the participants could directly and simultaneously access the database. The students for the most part installed the required Kallisto program on their own laptop computers. One additional computer with Kallisto was available in the abbey archive and one was in the seminar room of the Institute for Musicology. In general, no major technical difficulties occurred; only two students with Apple laptops had to find other means, since Kallisto is configured for Windows systems.
In order to pass the course, students had to fulfill the following requirements:
1. Regular attendance and participation.
2. Enter 30-50 records into the RISM database. The records were continuously monitored. Each student was assigned 50 consecutive RISM numbers (605009...) to independently work with and manage. Through these numbers, it was evident at all times who entered records, how many, on which date, and at which level of quality. The students received index cards with information about the sources already filled out beforehand, which they could take home and enter into Kallisto. During on-site visits either during class time or on their own, students could consult the archival materials and add to the records.
3. Short presentation on any catalog of works with the purpose of discussing different organizational systems for compositions.
4. For the final examination, the completed records were discussed with each respective student. A manuscript was shown to the student and a new RISM entry had to be created independently. A general question had to be answered, taken from the introductory sessions of the course. (Topics included "Source Studies as a Basic Discipline of Historical Musicology – Heuristics, Source Criticism, Interpretation, Historiography," "History, Series Organization, Structure, and Current Operation of RISM," "Archival Requirements," "Principles of Arrangement for Music Archives and Archival Materials," "Conservation Measures," "Knowledge of the Largest Music Collections," "Research Tools in Music Bibliography," "Dating Musical Sources," and "Music Publishers.")
In the course of the semester, 366 new titles were recorded. Including incipits, a total of 815 records were created. The manuscripts originated from the second half of the 18th century and the 19th century. Works by the following composers were processed: Anonymous (1 title), Engelbert Aigner (1), Johann Georg Albrechtsberger (44), Ignaz Aßmayr (1), Haydn (2), Joseph Haydn (14) Michael Haydn (240), Ferdinand Kauer (1), Georg Reutter fils (62).

Product Description
American Wood. Reborn.
Heartpine has been called the wood that built America. It provided the floors at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello home, built the keel of the USS Constitution ("Old Ironsides") and the caissons of the Brooklyn Bridge, and was even employed in the construction of Independence Hall.
Most old-growth heartpine, trees that were towering over this land when the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock, was harvested over 100 years ago. Today, the only way to access this wood is to reclaim it from tobacco barns, plantation homes, mills or bridges built before 1900.
This is exactly what Michael Outlaw does to build his unique Outlaw Weathered Series stave snare drums. Run your fingers across one of these snare drums and you'll feel the deep grain. You can see the years of use. You can almost hear the stories stored within. This is American wood, reborn.
Not only does this wood get a second chance at life as a drum, Michael Outlaw thinks the centuries of maturation make heartpine the best sounding tone-wood for his instruments.
With heartpine serving as the core, only the highest quality hardware, heads, and finishes are used on Outlaw Weathered Series snare drums. These drums come standard with tube lugs, triple-flanged hoops, and a pro-quality snare throw-off, all in your choice of black, chrome, or brass.
Other standard features include:
- A custom wood air vent
- Antique Outlaw Drums badge
- 16 strand snare wires
- Remo Coated Ambassador batter head, Clear Emperor bottom head
- Some boards have old bolt and nail holes, and sometimes the original nails are still set in the wood. Others still have the original saw kerfs. Whenever possible, we leave these historic artifacts.
- All drums are signed and dated on the inside to insure authenticity and quality
This Outlaw Weathered stave snare drum comes in a 5″ x 14″ size. More standard sizes are available. If you'd like to talk with us about a non-standard size, or a completely custom Outlaw snare drum, please contact Jeremy at 720.295.0446, email@example.com, or @GearPipe

Audie Award Nominee, Literary Fiction, 2013
The sequel to Hilary Mantel's 2009 Man Booker Prize winner and New York Times best seller, Wolf Hall delves into the heart of Tudor history with the downfall of Anne Boleyn. Though he battled for seven years to marry her, Henry is disenchanted with Anne Boleyn. She has failed to give him a son and her sharp intelligence and audacious will alienate his old friends and the noble families of England. When the discarded Katherine dies in exile from the court, Anne stands starkly exposed, the focus of gossip and malice. At a word from Henry, Thomas Cromwell is ready to bring her down. Over three terrifying weeks, Anne is ensnared in a web of conspiracy, while the demure Jane Seymour stands waiting her turn for the poisoned wedding ring. But Anne and her powerful family will not yield without a ferocious struggle. Hilary Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies follows the dramatic trial of the queen and her suitors for adultery and treason. To defeat the Boleyns, Cromwell must ally with his natural enemies, the papist aristocracy. What price will he pay for Anne's head?

"Mantel Pulls the History out of the History"
100 pages in and it is hard to miss that this isn't just a nominal sequel to Wolf Hall, but rather the first book's logical annex. There is no drop-off in complexity. No laxity of language. Still Mantel manages to shift form, change structure and reinvent her style. She even manages to give the character of Thomas Cromwell more depth and complexity, a feat which seemed near impossible after finishing Wolf Hall.
Anyway, Mantel is one of the finest writers of English prose living. Each sentence is crafted like a unique piece in an Italian inlaid music box. She has a purpose for each comma and can make words seem to dance, fall and recover right off the page. She pulls the history out of the history and has written Tower interrogations so deft and chilling, one is left afraid of both language and the law. As readers, we watch Cromwell destroy men, overthrow queens, and change history with words, paper and a sharp understanding of men's motives. We aren't afraid because Cromwell is a monster, but because he is so heroically human.
"Remarkable story of how to kill off a queen..."
If you do not find intrigue breathtaking, don't read this well written and well researched book. Hilary Mantel is my new favorite author, and what a remarkable writer and teller -of-tales she is! Her writing is dense, insightful, and rich in nuance. She takes the story of Anne Boleyn and makes it come to life (and death), as witnessed through the actions of Thomas Cromwell, one of King Henry VIII's chief counselors. It appears no accusations can be too bold, and no recriminations too slanderous if you are king and want to be rid of a wife you just spent ten years courting into marriage. The dicotomy of a king's whim and a queen's rights could not be more opposite, and if you can rid yourself of a few extra people along the way, why not...
"Superb even if you missed Wolf Hall"
Hilary Mantel makes every detail of the Tudor soap opera brand new, immediate and "can't stop listening" powerful.
Her present-tense prose works better read-aloud, at least with so fine a reader.
Cromwell as villain is nuanced by a detailed imagining of his life, his memories, his musings late at night, and even imagining a detained suspect locked, in the dark in the family Christmas closet (puts light on similar stories about More locking heretics in his basement for easier interrogation).
Okay, there will be a volume 3 for sure, or even a volume per wife, but boat loads of us will be waiting for them.
Molecular biology professor and researcher. I love history, historical fiction and future/alternate history. Mostly I listen while jogging, about 30-45 min per day.
"Perfection in story and the telling"
After listening to this and the preceding Wolf Hall, I despair of ever having so much satisfaction on an audiobook and its performance. Mantel's writing is exquisite. Each sentence is carefully crafted, balanced, purposeful. The story is amusing, engrossing, horrifying, comforting, and always compelling. If feels like history but somehow one is transported into Cromwell's head and behind his eyes.
And Vance must feel the same way I do. His reading...his performance....is absolutely spot on.
I will NOT enjoy any other book, or pair of books, as much. It's all downhill from here.
I just wish we would get another volume...perhaps it will yet come. The last words in the book state that the end is the beginning.
I feel like I have had a course in Tudor history, but with a lot more of the important social and economic detail than you would ever get in a classroom.
Pure magic. Seriously, there must be a lot of scholarship....the details are so dense and believable. But the primary thing is the lyrical writing.
It was too short.
Regret that I am done with it. Play it again, Sam.
"A Wonderfully Nuanced Book"
I think that Hilary Mantel is an wonderful author. Her story telling; her use of language; her ability to bring to life a far away period of time weaves a literary spell. I wish the book had been twice as long!!
Now I need to wait for her to write/complete the final book in this triology.
The England of Hilary Mantel is totalitarian state. Simon Vance, one of my favorite readers, reads this book beautifully but, all the same, his voice lacks the necessary malevolence that the narrator of Wolf Hall was able to achieve.
I hope that Audible will soon bring Hilary Mantel's other books into their library.
Dually addicted bookie. Read and listen to most books together. If I don't like reader of audible I dump it and move on.
"Wolf Hall Part 2 does not disappoint"
I'd recommend it anyone who has enjoyed reading "Wolf Hall" or enjoyed listening to Simon Slater's rendering of Part 1. It seems about half as long.
The character of Thomas Cromwell...brilliant and badass...
The dialogue has an additional dimension...and the story requires a superior reader...which Vance is...as was Simon Slater in Wolf Hall.
Yes...a number of laughs at the wit of Mantel's channeling of Cromwell.
I don't know why Simon Slater wasn't chosen to read...since his rendering of Wolf Hall was one of the greatest performances I've heard but Vance does a very good job of it...and the Cromwell voice choices he makes echo Slater's in the earlier book. Hilary Mantel is a superb writer...a witty and brilliant vision of how things may have been in a very mean and ruthless time period. I enjoyed seeing the fall of several of Cromwell's (and Woolsley's) enemies.
I am a voracious reader with fairly eclectic taste. I like both fiction and non-fiction, biography, history and current events. I like well written mysteries and suspense and I love 19th and 20th century classical literature as well as modern fiction. My favorite author is Philip Roth but I also love Trollope, Hardy, Jonathan Franzen, Jane Austen and Edith Wharton. My favorite biographer is Robert Caro.
"Wonderful narration, beautifully told tale"
Simon Vance does such a good job narrating this sequel to Wolf Hall I listened a second time just to savor it again. Very strong images and rhythmic text, dialogue enhanced by reading as the different voices and personalities are distinct and add flavor. Shorter than the first book due to a much tighter time frame, this book concerns only the fall of Anne Boleyn. Important events of Cromwell's life are revisited helping to illuminate objects and memories for readers who have not read the first volume. Fascinating view of a well known historical event as imagined by the author from the point of view of Thomas Cromwell, it is particularly of interest for those who are familiar with this period of history.
"Not up to Wolf Hall's standards"
condemned by infertility
Thomas Cromwell remains my favorite character because in him we see the makings of a statesman who held his own with royalty. Indeed, Henry VIII does not understand yet just how valuable Cromwell is. Cromwell is one of the few common men of humble birth who has ever been able to ascend to the pinnacle of power without having to be born into it or win it by combat. He is an everyman, a bureaucrat and a bit of a polymath. Kind to his servants, intuitive about what motivates people and skillful at using that motivation to benefit his king and country. He behaves humbly around those who think they are his betters but his humility is just a ruse. He subtly asserts himself and no one puts Cromwell in a corner.
The scene where Henry is knocked unconscious during a jousting tourney is my favorite. Suddenly, everyone's ambitions are revealed. But Cromwell puts his state and country first by defending the body of the king and he does this because he knows how close the country still is to a civil war. This scene is particularly well written and one can only imagine what Cromwell saw in the eyes of the dukes and other high level courtiers when the chance to sieze the throne was only a breath away.
One can only imagine what the courtiers saw in Cromwell's eyes and whether this was the moment of realization that lead to his eventual downfall. It was a moment when ancient feudal rite met modernity and for a moment, the feudalists blinked.
Jane Seymour comes across as a very clever girl. Maybe it wasn't always her goal to become queen, like Anne Boleyn, but Jane was someone who took advantage of opportunity and used her naturally reserved demeanor to promote her family. She's more like a cunning fox than a wolf.
My biggest problem with this book is that it hold up well in comparison to Wolf Hall. I realize that some listeners may have had problems with Wolf Hall because it is written in a non-linear style, part historical fiction, part biography. It tended to meander a bit with parts of Cromwell's domestic and inner life juxtaposing with current events in a not altogether easy to follow manner. But these are minor quibbles for a listener. Hilary Mantel is an author of extraordinarily lovely and powerful language. I was completely swept away by Wolf Hall because I had such a clear picture of what made Cromwell tick.
But Bring Up The Bodies seems to have "benefitted" from a more rigorous editing step. Someone slashed the size of this book down to an more manageable size but left a lot of material on the cutting room floor. Virtually nothing is said of the histories of the men who went to the scaffold with Anne. Some information comes through in their interviews with Cromwell but this is quick and not well fleshed out. We still don't know why Henry cut Anne off after her last miscarriage. I thought miscarriages were more common back then so there had to be another reason, perhaps medical, why Henry didn't think Anne would ever produce a son. There's no insight from doctors where they are saying, "Ah, yes, we've seen this kind of thing before. The first child is healthy but no other children live. No one knows why but we have seen that some families are plagued with it."
And then there is the motivation of Cromwell himself. It sounds like a combination of just serving the king and the desire to wreck revenge on the courtiers who continually pushed their social superiority in his face. I am unconvinced. It could be the lack of documentation but if anything, the earlier parts of Cromwell's life were more sparsely documented while this part was historic. Where Mantel allowed her mind to wander in Cromwell's in the first book, making for a coherent and consistent picture of this complex man, she pulls back in the second leaving Cromwell's personal feelings and motivations more mysterious and inscrutable. He comes across as more Iago than a Renaissance man, leaving us to continue to puzzle over the Anne Boleyn incident and his role in it. What a shame. She needn't have hurried the second book. Some things take time and need to develop at their own rate. I hope she reverts to form with the third book.
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." - Jojen Reed. #ADanceWithDragons
"Enjoyed this one!"
I am slowly but surely becoming a fan of Hillary Mantel here. The combination between her and Simon Vance is was very much fitting here. Most persons I have heard speaking about "Bring Up the Bodies" generally tends to say that they preferred the book in the series, "Wolf Hall", to this. Personally though, I found that I enjoyed "Bring Up the Bodies" more.
I've always liked to read about this particular era in British History... the era of the Boleyn's. The downfall of Anne and the sensationalism that surrounded this time is something that I would never predict to happen in real life. Seeing what happens through the vantage point of Thomas Cromwell is pretty fascinating if you ask me. Having to manipulate and contort the law the way he did to fit the whims and fancies of the King of England at the time, Henry VIII. The narration was what I have come to expect from Simon Vance to be honest. Simply flawless.
"what a downer"
I finally realized why I don't enjoy the talented and accomplished Simon Vance as a narrator: his voice strikes me as chilly, even though I realize he might in real life be the warmest-hearted person I could ever hope to meet. But what this meant for my "Bring Up the Bodies" listen is that I was left wondering if Hilary Mantel was telling the story of a man (Cromwell) corrupted by power, who had lost some of his human qualities—or if it was just that Simon Slater (for Book One of the series) was better able to express Cromwell's tenderness and regrets. I couldn't tell if Cromwell had changed, or if I was just confused by the change in narrator. Also, while "Wolf Hall" chronicles the rise of the plucky Cromwell and equally plucky Anne Boleyn, and it's the icky Thomas More who loses his head, in "BUtB" it's the demure (and less fascinating) Jane Seymour whose star is rising, and it's hard not to feel sorry for the innocent and/or naive courtiers who end up paying the ultimate price when Cromwell starts calling in accounts. Despite the excellent writing and narration, I didn't enjoy this audiobook as much as its predecessor.

Tina's Tidbits
By Tina Hager
Bad name, great taste
I went to Westfest Czech and Polka Festival this past weekend, found something I was looking for and ate something that sounded awful.
What I found that I was looking for was a hotdog hat. I grill hot dogs once a month for Hot Dog Day at the Carrollton Senior Center, and I thought it would be cool to wear a hot dog hat to promote the event. Now that I have found the hat, I can focus on getting a hot dog costume.
Have any of you eaten a skunk egg? What is the most exotic or interesting food item you have eaten and where can I find it?
Busy Friends
Another thing I did while at Westfest was visit the West Public Library booth. I think it is important to support libraries any way that we can because they make such a big difference in communities.
While there I bought a bottle of water, a carton of cascarones, which I believe they make themselves, and joined the West Public Library Friends group-all for $9. Easy cascarones instructions are at http://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/do/cascarones.html.
There are a lot of other Friends groups that are busy this month. For example, the Little Elm Friends of the Library Adult Literacy-sponsored Public Bazaar and Business Expo is taking place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15 at the Little Elm Community Center,107 Hardwicke. Hot Dogs will be available for $1 each, $1.50 for two, or $2 for a combo which includes hot dog, chips, and drink.
This is a great chance to stop by and pick up lunch while shopping the Expo and then buy a few extra for dinner so you can kick back and relax for the evening. Children age three years and up get a prize with the purchase of a combo.
Vendors for the event will be announced next week. For more information about the Public Bazaar and Business Expo, contact me at 214-673-2361 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
That same day, the Friends of The Colony Public Library will be holding their Meet the Authors and Illustrators from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15, followed by their Fall Membership meeting at 4:30 p.m. The featured speaker will be Robin Cole Jett.
For more information about The Colony Friends of the Library event, contact Librarian Nancy Boykin at 972-624-3178 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bargains here, freebies there, coupons everywhere
It is amazing how many freebie and coupon sites there are. The newest freebie site I have signed up for is called Bargain Diner at www.bargaindiner.com. Since I get so many emails in a day's time, it is hard to catch all the freebie newsletters at the right time because I am not on the computer all day. I am learning that the sooner you act on the deals that come in the bargain newsletters, the better chance you have at being one of the people who can get a freebie before they run out.
One of the free samples I have received so far is a box with three Starbucks coffee k-cups. I really look forward to checking the mailbox. It is like Christmas every day.
I have also decided to actually organize my coupons so I can start using them more. I went to Kroger today and found a lot of things on sale, but I especially kept my eyes out for the wonderful orange and yellow "Manager Special" stickers that go on products close to the expiration date. I found a pot roast for $5 that was normally $15, so guess what I cooked for dinner?
The best thing is when you have a coupon for something that is on sale or "special.". Do you have some favorite freebie or coupon sites? What are some free samples you have received?
Well, that is it for now, but thanks for reading "tidbits." I look forward to hearing your responses to my questions of the week. Send an email to email@example.com or leave me a note on Facebook at www.facebook.com/mstinaknows.
