Debussy: Text and Ideas (Part Two)
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Claude Debussy (1862-1918) the Institute of Musical Research in collaboration with Bangor University, the Royal College of Music and Gresham College present an international symposium centred on the links between Claude Debussy and the literary and visual arts. The event focuses on the works of Debussy, his texts and the ideas behind them.
The influence of French poet Théodore de Banville (1823-1891) on Debussy is generally thought to have been limited to the early years of the composer's development. Yet by composing his Trois Chansons de Charles d'Orléans (1908) and Trois Ballades de François Villon (1910), after setting a further two of Charles d'Orléans' Rondels in the Trois Chansons de France (1904), Debussy was quite clearly following in the footsteps of his early poetic hero. Dr David Evans offers an analysis of Debussy's Villon and Orléans settings read in relation to Banville's Trente-six Ballades à la manière de François Villon (1873) and Rondels à la manière de Charles d'Orléans (1875). For Debussy, Dr Evans suggests, these songs' inventive use of fixed form poems allowed him to explore the aesthetic tension between past and future, tradition and innovation, novelty and cliché, inviting us to reflect on where, precisely, 'genuine' music is to be heard in the early years of the twentieth century.

Dr Dubiau-Feuillerac argues that Debussy was attracted to Paul Verlaine's poems because of their innovative character and the writer's attempt at "dislocating the poetry" in a more sonorous way than the text might represent. The last melody of the Ariettes oubliées (1903), 'Spleen', is an example of this essential intertwining of idea and structure of text with musical composition.

Verlaine's poetry performed
through Debussy's musical sounds:
"Spleen" in text and song
Mylène Dubiau-Feuillerac
This study begins with the hypothesis according to which Claude Debussy would have chosen Paul Verlaine's poems for their innovative manner in the frame of tradition. In his mélodies the Ariettes oubliées (1903), on texts of Paul Verlaine chosen among Romances sans paroles (1874), Claude Debussy dissociates his work from a usual type in the genre of French Art song. Verlaine's poetic techniques of contrasts and breaks, of repetition, of sound saturation, enrich the new organizational research of Debussy. The vocal lines wobble from a recitative to large curves in arabesques in the same line; the former vocal melismas gives way to a syllabic prosody without any repetition of word; and then harmonic motion is more a continuity of colors than dependent of structural tensions.
The renewal of language as well as innovation in a known frame would be notable points of convergence between research of Claude Debussy and of Paul Verlaine. Searching, as everyone knows, 'music above all' (Verlaine, 1962: 326-327), the poet reworks the habitual codes of French versification, by rethinking meters, rhymes, literary formats, but always in the tradition of poetry.
This similarity of creative attitudes is the starting point of this study. If Debussy chooses the texts of a poet renewing the meter in the meter, wouldn't it be for him a support to renew music in this music genre? Even more, would it be possible to think that this first compositional period of his life (1882-1903), dedicated in great part to write and to rewrite melodies on poems of Verlaine, would be a period of preparation, of maturation of the modernity of his language, influenced by the work of the poet? As well as Paul Verlaine shocks because the metrics remains in very flexible lines (Verlaine, 1972: 722)[i], Claude Debussy innovates because vocality and motive progression reside in different ways...
To support this hypothesis, I will begin with the poetic work of Verlaine in its poem 'Spleen' and I will intertweave the musical answer which Debussy offered in his last melody of the collection of Ariettes oubliées. Following step by step the poetic behavior, I will raise the parallelism between the management of the poetic and musical materials, which leads to rethink the logic of progress of rhetorical discourse, poetical or musical.
In his poem 'Spleen', Verlaine leads in parallel two types of discourse: passages of story telling and progress of a direct speech by the narrator.
The disposition of the poem in couplets allows receiving in a more sensitive way the alternation of story and speech, which mixes the description of natural phenomenon and the personal expression of the narrator. But this foreseeable linearity is broken, progressively, by the narrator's flood of feelings confronted to the evocation of the landscape. The articulation of these levels of break, between story and speech, in the poem, is a first challenge offered to the progress of the musical discourse, which Debussy raises.
(The expression of the excess of feelings shown by the poem, so as to blind the real perception of the described landscape, is a second way of testing musical meaning: how to represent the excess, the saturation of colors? The poetic techniques employing the metric devices, the tools of repetition of sonorities, are a poetic compositional point which also guides Debussy's musical organization.
The relation to time in the poem, which plays on a repetitiveness of the past and on the previsibility of situations, can also question a composer, as his art handles time and length. With devices of repetition in insignificant modifications, music also marks the flow of time. In conclusion, I will maintain that Debussy finally offers an alternative of motivic development by the use of motives and their juxtaposition. The intrinsic renewal of poem that Verlaine operates finds its counterpart in Debussy's musical techniques of renewal.)
1. Paul Verlaine's text: a work on two temporal levels
To recall the spleen, object of his poem, Verlaine chooses to demonstrate tension between past and present. The organization in couplets is significant, recalling duality between the description of past and the narration of the present, alternately during first four couplets, then mixed for the two last couplets. The speed of the cadenza of stanza offered by the couplet punctuates the time in a fateful way, leaving few space for the outpourings of the lyric subject's feelings. The association of two lines, and of two temporal units with the couplets, allows also the representation of the duality of the loving relation invoked again and again by address to the loved one (with 'tu', 'vous', 'chère'/ 'you', formal 'You', 'dear' ), and the presence of the lyric subject ('je'; 'I' ).
Les roses étaient toutes rouges, description / past
Et les lierres étaient tout noirs.
Chère, pour peu que tu te bouges, narration / present
Renaissent tous mes désespoirs.
Le ciel était trop bleu, trop tendre, description / past
La mer trop verte et l'air trop doux.
Je crains toujours, – ce qu'est d'attendre ! narration / present
Quelque fuite atroce de vous.
Du houx à la feuille vernie description
Et du luisant buis je suis las, description - narration / present
Et de la campagne infinie description
Et de tout, fors de vous, hélas ! description - narration / present
'Spleen' is written in octosyllables. The choice of the length of the line is also significant: the octosyllable, the longest in short lines category as the French linguist Benoît de Cornulier notices (Cornulier, 1981: p. 96 and sq. passim),[ii]stretches the line at the farthest of its stressed tension. The choice of this measure, with the accent at the end of the line located as far as possible without necessity of caesura, reinforces an experience of slowness which contributes, in 'Spleen', to the semantic field of the expansion of time, offered by the poem with the words: 'infinie', 'attendre', 'las' ('infinite', 'to wait', 'bored')… The passages of story, very flat in their stretched enunciation, use the octosyllable in its extreme fluidity, without strong cut, while the passages of speech are shed into light by a black punctuation, factor of irregularity: comma in line 3;[iii]comma and dash in line 7;[iv]two commas in the last line. [v]
Speech (introduced in red) gaining the upper hand on the description (notated in black), in the two last couplets, shows officially, poetically, the expressive excess of the narrator 'splashing' on the nature which encircles him. The anaphora of the three last lines takes at the same time story and speech, in an amalgam which describes the landscape as well as the feeling of the narrator (the spleen). It is here really a 'watercolor', according to the title of the sub-grouping of poems Aquarelles, among Romances sans paroles.
In Debussy's mélodie
Claude Debussy makes the same progression, couplets by couplets, with the same length of melodic sentences: a line is quasi systematically distributed on two measures for the whole melody - except for the last line, stretched. The alternation of recitation in linear movements for the description in the even couplets or with more animated and more flexible melody for the narration of the odd couplets is also found in voice and piano parts.
As an example, the first couplet is recited recto tono: the linearity of enunciation and descriptive neutrality are recreated in music by recitative in the low tessitura of the voice, without the support of the piano.
Exemple 01. Spleen, Ariettes oubliées n° 6, 1903, mesures 4 à 8.
The third couplet follows twice the same regular downward movement, the fifth, as well as the first line of the sixth couplet, recite the text on intervals using the arpeggio, in a very regular way rythmically (as we can see for the scansion of 'de la campagne infinie'; 'Of the infinite countryside').
On the opposite, the even couplets, bearing the expression of the lyric subject, follow more sinuous vocal lines, rythmically unstable, broken by silences and alternations of pitches, and using rhythmic patterns leading to a movement, like the doted eighth note, with its sixteenth note leading its resolution on the following downbeat.
For example, both following lines of the second couplet are entirely in opposition: first of all by the tessiture used (high F sharp), and by the ambitus (high F sharp - low E flat). The rhythmic disposition of notes is freer, introducing very variable prosody, in link with the diction of the text. This creates opposition with the monotony of the regular eighth notes of the first lines. The tempo is agitated Con moto, accompanied by a crescendo for line 3, then by two successive crescendi for line 4.
Debussy follows step by step the proposals of Verlaine's poem, on the contrary to vocal lines which would be meant to be 'melodious' to answer the type of French Art Song in the 1880s (Debussy wrote 'Spleen' first in January, 1886).
The piano leaves the entire place to the voice for the beginning of the song, then it will take little by little a more significant importance, by the use of themes and musical motives unifying the whole work. This musical treatment will be the object of our second part.
The composer seems to answer the choices of enunciation in Verlaine's poems, differently for each couplet, by getting closer to what would be a descriptive declamation - linear, without relief, repetitive - or of a passionate declamation - rythmically varied, going up to vocal excess by the end. But these melodic fragments, always different, disturbs the principle of coherence of the musical material of a piece at the end of the nineteenth century.
Debussy relies on other parameters than those of the speech of enunciation: repetition and saturation of the colors, present in the poem, allow him to accomplish in another way the thematic unit necessary for the tonal musical frame.
2. The visual and sound proposal of Paul Verlaine: a tension suggested by work on repetitions and saturation
Always in a research of signification thanks to poetic techniques, Verlaine works with the tones, with the length of syllables, to recall the spleen of the lyric subject, trying to illustrate orally the feeling of time in the poem.
The length of the declamation of the text seems stretched by the delivery imposed by the choice of words and groups of words. The difficulty of diction and the emphasis with repetitions of words and syntactic structures, the paronomases (repetitions of same sounds, as ([t], [d],[ʁ] ; in bold here), or the use of double vowels (aie, ou, ie, oi, eu, ai, ui, euill; underlined here) or double consonants participate to this 'lassitude' of things: the burden of the spleen is transcribed here by the words themselves - as we can hear if we declaim the text.
The clattering of sounds makes sensitive the clattering of colors and the 'excess' of feelings with too lively colors ('toutes rouges', 'trop bleu', 'trop verte', 'du luisant buis': 'very red', 'too blue', 'too green', 'of shining boxwood'). Excessive sound is significant of too violent visual sensation. Where story and speech seemed divided into couplets, we can point out that tones are led at the same time throughout all the couplets, already mixing feelings coming from description and feelings of the narrator. These same tones, reduced around a core of consonants and of associations of vowels, create a sound color which unifies the text, participating of visual 'lassitude' by excessive sound redundancy.
In the same way, in Debussy's setting, melodic repetitions appear in a particularly dense way throughout the work. The main motive of the melody, appearing at the beginning, at the end, and regularly during the piece, establishes itself as a continuously returning theme, just like the endless re-emergent sounds of despair in the poem. This theme is almost always the same: only its environment is changing, by a kind of process of evolution of its decor, more than a process of development or variation. Displayed without accompaniment in introduction to the melody (as you can see on the example), it is tonally ambiguous, and driven in a sinuous way towards the lowered IInd degree to the Vth degree, assuming lately a tonic of F minor.
This motto comes back six times throughout the piece, transposed only for two occurrences into measures 22-25, then again in the original key at the end, in measures 26-27, linked to timeless lassitude on words 'Et de la campagne infinie' ('And by the infinite countryside'). It goes through all the couplets, story-telling ones or speech ones, in an irregular way.
The reappearance of the main theme, as well as other punctual techniques as the recurrent rhythm of doted eighth note and sixteenth note, or the chromatic movements in the piano part, throughout the melody, participate for the total construction of poetic evocation, by recreating networks of tones throughout work.
I suggest now to listen to a performance of this song, by Sandrine Piau and Jos van Immersel, in order to listen to the moving of the tempi and the flexibility of the accompanying motives, to feel this creation of a time space.
(The unit of the piece is carried by the musical material in reply to the poetic material. This motto seems to be treated as a significant aspect of the languid spleen, arriving at a paroxysm in final evocation, and presented always barely changed. Another effect is present, raised according to the evocation of the poem: the work on the flow of time, as its stretching, its widening, its acceleration, thanks to the techniques of juxtaposition, of superimposing and of elasticity of motives.)
Breaks and contrasts created by different speeches, unforeseen accents coming from non regular poetic stresses, make of 'Spleen' a succession of different musical instants. The time always seems unstable (cf. Gautier, 1997) under every line, even if the regular metric of the octosyllable is observable, then this instability is overlapped by reiterations of musical motives. The temporal perception is flustered, by this not foreseeable, irregular reminiscence of theme, as movements of energy more than development of thematic material. We feel a more flexible musical temporality, linked to the dilution of marks of tonality, and of harmonic rhythm which underlay it.
If the length of this piece is finally very short (less than 3 minutes), the musical time recalls at the same time haste and infinity, heavy trouble and ardent passion, speeding the time up and dilating the instant.
Conclusion: a renewal of musical speech and of perception of time
The understanding of linguistics and poetics appeared very essential for such a work: necessary, intrinsically linked to the development of this language in acts - poetical or musical language. This research wants to bring elements in understanding the way Claude Debussy worked out his language, notably his treatment of the musical material and his temporal behavior in music. Rhythmic anticipation, juxtaposition, overlapping with dilated or stressed motives, show how to use temporality in a very short space.
Lately, minimalist format of Préludes for piano, composed in years 1909-1913, gets closer to that of melodies, and seems to be a pianistic culmination in this maturity of the musical language of the composer, and in his work on the time with motives. Already in this song 'Spleen', we can appreciate the instant which relates Vladimir Jankélévitch (1976: 284):
Each prelude immobilizes one minute of the universal life of things, an instant of the history of the world, and it stops this universal life out of any future and of any succession, without relation neither with before nor with after. These pictures, at the same time eternal and momentary, form a heterogeneous tapestry of escaped impressions.
Chaque Prélude immobilise une minute de la vie universelle des choses, un moment de l'histoire du monde, et il arrête cette vie universelle ... hors de tout devenir et de toute succession, sans rapport ni avec l'avant ni avec l'après. Ces images à la fois éternelles et momentanées forment une tapisserie hétéroclite d'impressions fugitives.
… so does the Aquarelle we just heard.

[i]Cf. in 'Critique des Poèmes Saturniens' : 'En un mot comme en cent, j'aurais [selon mes "jeunes confrères"] le tort de garder un mètre, et dans ce mètre quelque césure encore, et au bout de mes vers des rimes.'
[ii]La nécessité d'un accent interne, déterminant une césure, ne se fait pas sentir en dessous de huit vers.
[iii]Le vers 3, avec 'Chère', provoque un heurt rythmique, un contre-accent, par son accentuation syncopée, mise en relief par la virgule.
[iv]Cette large coupe fortement ponctuée fait marquer un fort arrêt, appuyant la dernière syllabe de 'toujours', et illustre par là l'attente exprimée, l'aparté expressif '- ce qu'est d'attendre !'.
[v]L'amplification rythmique est extrême, avec l'emploi de deux coupes, appuyées par la reprise de sonorité interne avant chaque virgule ('tout' et 'vous') dans un vers court – mise en rythme encore renforcée par le point d'exclamation final.
Three manuscript sources for the second series of Debussy's Fêtes Galantes are known today. Two of them, each containing music for all three songs, are housed in the Département de la musique at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. A third manuscript, of an early version of "Colloque sentimental," is preserved in the Frederick R. Koch Collection at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. Close study of these documents raises the possibility that Debussy was not originally planning a group of Verlaine's Fêtes Galantes at all, as he lists a poem entitled "Crépuscule du soir" on one of the manuscripts.
Professor Rolf suggests some conceivable poetic sources for Debussy's projected setting of "Crépuscule du soir" and then demonstrates why the composer might have aborted his initial concept. This study posits a chronology for the three songs that ultimately comprise Fêtes Galantes, série 2, based on both extrinsic and intrinsic musical evidence, and takes into account the early setting of "Colloque sentimental" as well. The compositional genesis of this collection reflects the process of Debussy's sublimation of his former Wagnerian tendencies and the emergence of a new compositional direction, one that parallels the dawn of a new poetic movement.

geographical name (Concise Encyclopedia)City (pop., 2000 est.: 150,624), capital of Florida, U.S. Originally an Appalachee Indian village, the area attracted Spanish settlers after the visit of Hernando de Soto in 1539. Tallahassee became the capital of the Florida Territory in 1824 and of the state in 1845. During the American Civil War it was the only capital of a Confederate state east of the Mississippi not captured by Union forces. Today it is a wholesaling and distribution point for the surrounding lumber, cotton, and cattle-raising industries. Educational institutions include Florida State University (founded 1851).

The nickname 'Mercury' for No. 43 probably relates to a stage work, with a fine A flat slow movement opening on muted strings. No. 47 brings striking military horn-calls at the start, beautifully caught in this recording; but the most memorable of the three is No. 46, with its lilting B minor slow movement. Its extraordinary finale is then punctuated by sudden silences, with sharp modulations and an unexpected quotation from the preceding Minuet. Mühler-Brühl's choice of speeds cannot be faulted, with allegros crisp and alert and slow movements kept flowing.

Owners of stolen jewellery sought
1:36pm Tuesday 21st January 2014 in News
POLICE are appealing for help in tracing the owners of jewellery recovered from a property in Malvern.
The pieces are a white metal jewellery box with a red velvet-type interior, a white metal charm bracelet with an array of charms including a violin and a small bag and a pair of blue cameo-style clip-on earrings in a box marked Wedgwood.
Detective Constable Kelly Browning said: "These items were found during a house search in Malvern and we believe they may be stolen. We are releasing the picture of them to try and help trace the owners.

Salmon Ruins, Bloomfield, New Mexico Salmon Ruins Museum and Research Library, in Bloomfield, New Mexico, is operated by the San Juan County Museum Association. Bloomfield and Salmon Ruin are located twelve miles east of Farmington and south of Aztec. The museum offers presentations about research at Salmon, and other regional archaeology topics. The ruins are located in Heritage Park, where pioneer buildings, reconstructions of other prehistoric shelters, and the surrounding contemporary mobile home housing contrast sharply with ancient masonry.
Beginning about AD 1088-1090, people materially related to Chaco Canyon built one of the oldest and largest outlying Chacoan Great Houses near the San Juan river. After a generation, the pueblo was abandoned, then later reoccupied by people materialy related to Mesa Verde. An elevated kiva is enclosed by the room block, due north of the Great Kiva. The kiva wall has Type III masonry, thicker rows of sandstone blocks interspersed with rows of thinner sandstone, and, below the bench line, thin stone, all evidencing special care in its construction. Above. View of rooms adjacent to and east of the elevated kiva. Below, one of the kivas in the east wing. The museum incorporates in the site interpretations artifacts from the Salmon Ruin excavations. According to Anna Sofaer, five great houses, Chetro Ketl, Kin Kletso, Pueblo del Arroyo, Pueblo Pintado, and Salmon Ruin, "are associated with the lunar minor standstill azimuth." Sofaer lists the angle of Salmon Ruin's 130 m long north wall as 65.8° E. of N. The level-elevation lunar minor angle was 67.8° at Salmon Pueblo in 1200 AD. Here follow several of my GPS coordinate determinations. References: Anna Sofaer 1997.

Whitewashed walls and tablecloths with handsome colors make this conservative restaurant popular with an international clientele. The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Lebanese dishes. Start with one of over three dozen appetizers, such as moussaka or simmered dandelions in olive oil. The chef makes excellent use of fresh ingredients and condiments. Lamb medallion is a fine choice as an entree. The staff is attentive and helpful and dining here is a good value for the money.

Great Scott! Fringe Tops Friday Ratings

Fringe delivered a 1.9 rating in the coveted 18-to-49 demo, up 12 percent from its last Thursday outing and building slightly on its lead-in, Kitchen Nightmares. Overall, the spooktacular series … READ MORE

Long Island Business News has been following news of two affordable housing bills currently being hashed out in Albany.
The first, sponsored by the Long Island Association, mandates any developer that builds five or more units include 10 percent of the project as affordable housing. However, the bill defines affordable as a property a family that earns around $120,000 annually can handle, around $300,000.
The other bill, heralded by Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy, asks for state help in building infrastructure and in return the county will build affordable housing. Under that bill, affordable housing means between $282,000 and $190,000.
Both plans do not include property taxes.
The question is, for individuals that earn below $50,000 (the average wage paid in Long Island in 2004 was around $42,000 according to Hofstra University's Bureau of Labor Statistics), which would be your average young unmarried person, or families that make below $50,000 (which represents the bottom 10 percent of Long Island's 2.7 million residents) what's affordable?
Do you think these two bills go far enough?
Is it more, less or equally important to make sure middle class families can afford homes here than it is our region's poor or young unmarried workforce be able to purchase real estate on Long Island as well?
It's a tough question.

text: How did you get together? We first met in 1999 to discuss Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. We've read and discussed more than 70 books. Where do you usually meet? We rotate meeting in members' homes once a month. The hostess of the month selects the book and provides snacks and drinks. Later, we gather with a glass of wine to discuss the book. Which Oprah's Book Club selections have you read together?The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski, A Million Little Pieces by James Frey, The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen, Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail by Malika Oufkir, House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III, Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende, Mother of Pearl by Melinda Haynes, Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts, She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. What are your all-time favorite selections? It would be hard for us to say what our favorite books are, as we are a group with diverse opinions. We do agree that the books we enjoy most are the ones that produce the most lively discussions. For example, Double Bind by Chris Bohjalain and The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski created much debate late into the night. Are you planning any special trips or events? Our December meeting is a time for fun. We bring white elephant gifts and then try to steal the best or worst from each other. |

Managing overseas is tough. Below are two case studies. One is an editorial that suggests racism of Korean managers in the US – something to which I can relate as I was hired early in my career by a Japanese company in California to help fend off allegations of racially based employment discrimination as well as to upgrade hiring and overall personnel practices.
My general observations of Asian companies in the US has been that the truth of racism is usually somewhere between the allegations and the Asian expatriate managers' protests of innocence. In the case of the below-reported Korean managers, at least one executive seems to have been unable from keeping his foot out of his mouth.
The fact is, due to language and, to a lesser degree, cultural differences, Asian companies prefer having their own nationality in top management positions – at least those positions that hold real authority as opposed to locally hired figureheads. The reason Is obvious – communication and undoubtedly greater political leverage on the overseas executives who are likely to look forward to their promotions beyond their overseas posts, if they are expatriate, than a locally hired executive who is much more likely looking as his next career move as being a jump to another company.
In the case of labor relations, it is hard to say how hard the current GM Korea team has worked compared to the the times of GM Korea's first CEO, the legendary Nick O'Reilly. Nonetheless, the labor leaders were not consistently cordial with Nick, even after he had established strong personal relations with the labor leadership.
While it is generic for union leaders to look and act tough vis-à-vis management on behalf of their union membership, they often get far too caught up with their posturing to effectively understand that multinational corporations have the means and motivation to act on threats of moving production from Korea to other countries. The harsh reality is there is already a strong precedence of Western multinational companies reluctantly closing down or reducing production in Korea, due inflexible, militant labor unions.
When foreign executive team have made good on their threats to close down plants, no one seems to be more surprised than the failed union leaders who seem to have forgotten that their primary responsibility is to protect jobs.

Great printer and great quality prints, but damn are we having a nightmare with this at the moment.
Started with the paper jamming in the fuser with 54.18 errors and "toner remaining sensor" errors. We figured this was the sensor unit between the fuser and the black toner (as the paper wouldn't "jam" as such, just the printer would stop dead when the paper was ejecting and being picked up, leaving a piece also on the transfer belt).
We replaced this unit - this didn't help. It seems now we are getting calibration errors on all toners and the printer will print about 5-20 pages before throwing this error again.
What is worse, is that if you let the printer try and calibrate, the error will always appear and effectively render the printer unuable (it's a blocker error). I am having to resort to skipping the calibration on powerup (using the menu procedure when turning on), therefore we are using a printer that has not calibrated for some weeks - not good!
Errors are as follows and continue as far back as the error log goes:
Toners are compatible, but have worked fine for over 10k pages. We can't afford to buy OEM toners but don't want to replace all compatibles, most of which are very full, unless there is a convincing case to do so (or if all else fails)..50 20340 54.1E.08 Halftone calibration error
49 20340 54.1E.07 Halftone calibration error
48 20340 54.1E.06 Halftone calibration error
47 20340 54.1E.05 Halftone calibration error
45 20344 54.18 Toner Remaining Sensor malfunction.
44 20340 54.1E.08 Halftone calibration error
43 20340 54.1E.07 Halftone calibration error
42 20340 54.1E.06 Halftone calibration error
41 20340 54.1E.05 Halftone calibration error
Please don't say "compats are c**p, use OEM instead", as that won't really help us!!

Seriously? two dribblers through the middle by the minor league callup catcher and minor league callup pitcher, and a missed pitch due to a slick mound. Do you seriously think that Cueto just mentally checked out as a very likely explanation there? Is it maybe just possible that this is a random game full of unpredictable craziness that makes us sit there for hours day after day and wonder what's going to happen? Why does it always have to be "inexcusable, mental lapse, get their heads out of their butts?" Can't it just be that sometimes things happen in this game that are unexpected, even when you do the right thing, like get an 8 and 9 hitter to hit weak grounders?
Ok, sorry for the rant, this kind of conclusion just drives me ABSOLUTELY batty.

This is We Only Talk About Everything for September 11, 2011. We're finally back in the studio this week, but a bomb scare keeps us on the sidewalk. Jimmy talks TSA and inappropriate junk swabbing. Then we discuss flying, keeping the kids in the back of the plane and reclining etiquette. Eamonn recalls a mostly hilarious office prank, and Jimmy introduces the fairy bomb. We talk about public urination on the subway, and explain how Jimmy's new interest in Mad Men is probably explained by alcohol. Then, we talk After School Specials, then moving on to Oklahoma City.

Romney, running against the first black president, has no chance of winning most African-American voters. But neglecting to court them at all sends the wrong message to swing voters, said political players and observers. Romney's problem, they said, isn't that blacks aren't buying his message but that he hasn't bothered to sell it to them.
Democratic consultants compared Romney's outreach unfavorably with George W. Bush's efforts. Tad Devine recalled Bush's 2000 campaign, which "conspicuously did a lot of outreach to the African-American community. Even thought it didn't affect the numbers," he said, "it did have a very favorable impact on the campaign," allowing Bush "to portray himself as more moderate—a conservative, but a compassionate conservative." But Romney, said Devine, has offered "no outreach, no presence in his advertising, [save] a couple of frames in his very first ads." Steve McMahon, a Democrat consultant, said that a "in a close election, this can be the difference between winning and losing," pointing to George W. Bush's 2004 margin of victory in Ohio, where he clinched a second term by upping his support among the state's African-American voters by just 5 percentage points.
Politicos of all ideological bents stressed that Romney was in no way prejudiced against African-Americans, but also agreed that his campaign had paid little attention to the group. As Lee Siegel memorably described the candidate who once tried to appeal to a group of black kids at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade by singing the refrain of "Who Let the Dogs Out," "Mitt Romney is the whitest white man to run for president in recent memory."
Since Richard Nixon's Southern strategy severed the remaining group's remaining ties with the party of Lincoln, Democrats have dominated the black vote to the point where exit polls in key primary states like Iowa and New Hampshire registered 0% African-American participation. In Mississippi, the most heavily African-American state in the country, only 2 percent of GOP primary voters were black.
But in some ways, his campaign's problem seems particular to Romney, not his party. An extensive list of "key supporters" of his 2008 presidential bid included groups of women, Hispanics, and Asian supporters, but not African-Americans. In contrast, his Republican rivals this year could all point to noteworthy black supporters or staffers. Newt Gingrich has former Rep. J.C. Watts and former presidential candidate Herman Cain on his "conservative Dream Team." Ron Paul has an African-American spokesman, Gary Howard. Even Santorum had O'Neal Dozier, a controversial pastor and honorary chair of his Florida campaign, and Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, the former Packers defensive end who endorsed him inWisconsin.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Mother's Day is a bit depressing for an enormous number of women, and it is totally our fault. Rather than spend the day "broadly" focusing on the women who have provided love, comfort, and care whenever we needed it, i.e., the aunts (both biological and practical), the godmothers, instructors, baby sitters, teachers, etc. -- we made Mother's Day so narrow that only women who can claim a child on their tax return are deemed worthy of celebration.
Not to say that "Mom" shouldn't get her share of celebration, but imagine how delighted she would feel if not only her "own" children celebrated her, but also her only niece who still calls every week or your childhood best friend whom she always made sure had cake on his birthday -- recognized the love and support she provided them.
A "Mother" is created when a woman provides love, support, and care to a child, without expectation of any return. She provides these needs instinctively, without regard to the child's last name or home address. Chances are, no matter how wonderful your home life was growing up, you can probably remember an aunt, a close friend of your mom's, a baby sitter -- who attended every recital, every game, shopped for every dress, and no matter how old you were, never forgot your birthday. She loved you although you were not her "own" and contributed to providing you the kind of safe and nurturing love that only a mother can give. Mother's Day should be a celebration for all of the women in our lives who made sure that we had a safety net of love growing up -- and the more we have to celebrate, the merrier!
Carter, of Charleston, was reared by her mother, her maternal aunt and the woman who baby-sat her for more than 10 years. She claims zero children on her tax return, but is an aunt by marriage to nine children, an aunt by choice to three, and is head over heels in love with about 10 3-year-olds she teaches at River Ridge Church.

Harry learned quickly not to feel too sorry for the gnomes. He decided just to drop the first one he caught over the hedge, but the gnome, sensing weakness, sank its razor-sharp teeth into Harry's finger and he had a job shaking it off until "Wow, Harry that must've been fifty feet..."

Vanguard: Where's the Volatility?

Comparing Human Development Patterns Across Countries: Is it Possible to Reconcile Multidimensional Measures and Intuitive Appeal?
The aims of this paper are two. The first is to to present a framework that facilitates the identification and analysis of human development patterns in terms of outcomes performance from a cross and time perspective. The second is to find a method that is effective in summarizing different dimensions that concerns human development progress. We consider human development progress as enhanced throughout virtuous synergies among positive human development outcomes and between these and `positive' economic outcomes. The methodology aims to take into consideration these synergies, while the theoretical framework captures different patterns of human development progress through the distinction between the social dimensions (SD) and the economic dimensions (ED) as `command over resources'. Although this framework is not a sufficient guide for policy, the research findings are an explicit recognition of the need to analyse and to integrate economic and social policies. Furthermore, the explorative empirical results highlight different human development patterns between countries and their connection to the different policies adopted by each country (e.g. by transition economies) and by the impact of different type of crises.Download Info

This paper presents a new method for accurate real-time counting of pedestrians using model-based image processing techniques. In order to minimise computational costs, a specially designed model-specific filter (MSF) is used during the image search phase to obtain the best initial estimate position for the model matching process. It is planned to port the algorithm to a TMS320C50 image processing platform to facilitate a real time working system

Adrenaline Mob have released a second video of the band in the studio covering Van Halen's "Romeo Delight." The song is on the band's upcoming release, Coverta, an eight-track EP featuring covers of some of the band's favorite songs. Longtime Portnoy fans know about the many cover CDs he's released with Dream Theater and with Neal Morse.
In support of their album, Omerta, and debut single, "Come Undone," Adrenaline Mob — featuring Russell Allen (Symphony X), Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), John Moyer (Disturbed) and Mike Orlando (Sonic Stomp) — will kick off a US tour on March 12.
From an impending apocalypse to the promise of a new Van Halen album with David Lee Roth, the bar was set high for 2012. Everyone from the Mayans to Nostradamus prophesied 2012 as being the end of the world, but who could have predicted Green Day's epic trilogy of new albums, or Rush churning out their heaviest record this side of 2012, or Joe Walsh's first solo effort in two decades?
Usually, this is where I bitch about the horrible state of the music industry and what slim pickings there are for true guitar hounds … but this year was actually jolly good fun. A lot of veterans stepped up to the plate (Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Edward Van Halen), and so did a few new, impressive hot shots (Periphery, Gary Clark Jr., HAARP Machine).
I guess you could say this about any recent year, but 2012 often felt a lot like the late '70s. We got high-profile studio releases by Van Halen, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Neil Young, Carlos Santana, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Rush, Kiss, Joe Walsh, Asia, Ringo Starr, Alvin Lee, Jeff Lynne and two members of The Jam, plus a live Led Zeppelin album and a pair of new songs by The Rolling Stones.
In a surprise move, Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth has just posted a brand new song online. Stream "One Piece Thermo-Molded Country Plastic Chair" below.
The limited-edition Eddie Van Halen Guitar World Box Set includes all four Guitar World February 2009 issues, each of which has a unique cover photo featuring Eddie Van Halen with a different version of his new EVH Wolfgang guitar.
Make no mistake. Eddie Van Halen can still kick your ass. The man who single-handedly changed the face of rock is still mean, lean and sharp as a tack. And if you dispute the ownership of the crown, try to imagine a world without him. I came to pay my tribute, sneak a peak at that famous Marshall and meet the man I most wanted to be at 17.
By all accounts, Wolfgang Van Halen has been having a ball on the road with Tremonti in recent weeks, filling in while his father recovers from emergency surgery following a severe bout of diverticulitis.
After nearly half a million total votes were cast, Eddie Van Halen has been named the victor in Guitar World's first-ever Greatest Guitarist of All Time poll. The tournament-style readers poll began in April with 132 guitarists, including four — Malcolm Young, Nuno Bettencourt, Jake E. Lee and Chet Atkins — who were voted in by readers.

Market Arbitrage of Cash Dividends and Franking Credits
Since 1986, dividend imputation has influenced the ex-dividend day behaviour of Australian share prices. This paper explores the effects of dividend imputation on ex-dividend share price drop-off from its inception until mid-2004, with particular attention paid to the differential effects of cash dividends and franking credits. We also explore the effects of the six major legislative amendments to the dividend imputation system that were introduced over the sample period. Only the most recent tax change, which provided full income rebates for unused franking credits, appears to have caused the market to put a statistically significant value on franking credits.

Took payment twice and left us as a new business very exposed and financially embarrassed and let us down with the agreed delivery date which we have had to relay to members of our gym.
So at the moment very disappointed and annoyed

I once got a late night phone call from one of our facilities that a maintenance worker had discovered a couple. Having sex. In a stairwell.
I have had to tell people their breath stinks, their thong shows, their flatulence is making their office mate gag, and that their perfume smells like rotting cat food.

The Meteor Strike is an event in Club Penguin involving a meteor crashing. It took place from June 7th, 2012, to June 13th, 2012. This is when the Purple Super Hero Meteorite crash landed at the Dock, and was what lead up to the Marvel Super Hero Takeover 2012. It only had one room, the Dock. According to an EPF message, the meteor had also given the Ultimate Proto-Bot 10000, an evil robot, the power to destroy Club Penguin.
The Mineral
The meteor had a mineral which was used to give birth to Super Heros and Super Villains. The mineral also gave power to the Ultimate Protobot 10000 and it built the Destructobot. The mineral was used again to give power to the Time Trekker 3000.

Lovely top
By compulsive shopper
from Edmonton
I ordered this top in size large after looking at the measurements online. I am a plus sized senior and found it fit well as there was a lot of extra material in the bigger sizes. It is very flattering and hangs beautifully. I love the colors and can see wearing it over a variety of pants, skirts and capris. I love this line.
Love this top!

This is my first purchase from Annalee & Hope and I am really pleased with it. It fits perfectly and I love the style. A winner for me.
