"The Wind Rises" – Review
Rome: Day 5 – Saints and Cinema
Sunday was probably the least active day of our trip – we needed time to rest before climbing on ruins for the next 48 hours. The first stop was just around the corner at the Basilica di San Clemente, one of the most fascinating examples of Rome's "layer cake" architecture. It was another place where we couldn't take pictures, but the link above has some good ones, and so do Wikipedia and Sacred Destinations.
The top level is a beautiful church, still in use, that dates to around 1100. It's been touched up and added to over the years, and there is some truly gorgeous artwork – including (naturally) on the ceiling. Below that is a late-4th century church, which would have been established not long after Christianity became the official religion of the Empire. You can still see some altars and traces of paintings, including this remarkable piece, which suggests that Christian and pagan worship co-existed peacefully at some point here. There's a lesson for us all.
Go down another level, and there are two buildings dating from around the second and third centuries. One may have been the Roman mint. The other was a private building, owned by a (likely wealthy) member of the Mithras cult. Mithras was a Persian deity, adopted and syncretized by the Romans, whose worship centered around underground temples called Mithraea. There is one in this building, complete with carved altar. It's dramatic and mysterious, which was the point – it was a "mystery" cult, after all, with initiation rites and lots of secret practices.
Although you can't touch the frescoes or go inside the Mithraeum, there is very little off-limits in San Clemente's lower levels. We wandered around, sat on the stone benches, flipped over the Christian/pagan altar, touched a second Mithraic altar in one of the long hallways. You just feel enveloped by history in a place like this.
After venturing back into the sunlight, we had lunch at an outdoor cafe, enjoying yet another beautiful day. We saw a chunk of an old aqueduct, just standing next a modern building, a common experience in Rome (we also saw columns sticking up in random places). We also had that "turn the corner and….WOW!" moment again, thanks to San Giovanni in Laterano. We only saw the facade, but that was awe-inspiring enough.
On the other side of the piazza was this lovely thing.
It looks like it should be inside a church, but there it is.
We walked through the gates of the ancient city wall and took the Metro to the suburbs, emerging – literally – at the entrance to Cinecittá.
This was our one concession to modernity, as I could not be this close to Europe's greatest movie studio without making a pilgrimage. Unfortunately, Italy's "fall back" clock re-setting was the night before, which screwed up our plans to take the full studio tour (it was getting too late). We did, however, walk around the entrance grounds, which contain statues from movies like Gladiator and The Fall of the Roman Empire, plus the giant head from Casanova.
There was an exhibit on the studio's history, so we got to see (and in some cases, touch) props and costumes from various Cinecittá productions. We also walked around the exterior sets for some Italian sitcom whose name I can't remember. So, the trip out there was still completely worth it, even if we only saw the studio itself from a distance. After that, we tried to visit the old Appian Way, but it was almost dark, so we headed home instead.
I got to see where Fellini and Leone made their magic, and it was only the 5th or 6th coolest thing we did on this vacation. That says a lot.

"Swan Song" Screening
The KCFCC is co-sponsoring a screening of director John D. Hancock's work-in-progress, Swan Song, on January 30th at the Screenland Crown Center.

Anyway, go here for the full press release.
Rome: Day 4 – A Great Place to Wander Aimlessly…..Especially When You Lose Your Map
We covered a lot of ground on Saturday, including some we hadn't planned on. Previously, Mom & I had gone to specific sites that were close together, so everything was easy to navigate. On this day, we visited several locations within walking distance of each other – but only via the twisting, poorly marked, random street layout of Rome.
It started off easy, with a visit to the crypts of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini. From the outside, the church is pretty nondescript, but once you get inside, it's among the strangest "tourist attractions" in the city. At some point in its history, the church's Capuchin friars decided to start arranging the bones of their dead brethren into elaborate works of art. We weren't allowed to take photos, but there are some online here, here & here.
Being our morbid selves, we assumed this would be dark and creepy, but it wasn't. It was beautiful. There was something so peaceful and spiritual about it, we were both taken off guard. That was one of the more pleasant surprises of our trip.
From there, we got sidetracked by the shops as we headed toward Trevi Fountain. You have to go to Venice to see Murano glass items being made, but you can buy them cheap all over Rome (and we did). We also found lots of cool souvenirs and a woodcarver's shop where you could watch a guy make little Pinocchio dolls. We bought one for my nephew, straight off the workbench.
The fountain was just around the corner, and it's another one of those remarkable, giant structures that just appears out of nowhere as you walk through Rome. It was crowded with tourists, but we were able to get near the water pretty quickly. We threw our coins in to guarantee a return visit, per tradition, then got out of the way so someone else could do the same. Then we just stared at it for a while.
We walked down the very ritzy Via Veneto, with its expensive designer stores, to the Spanish Steps. Sitting on the steps is another odd little Italian tradition, and one of those things you just have to do (despite no one seeming to know why). As we headed away from the piazza, we stopped to listen to a street performer playing what appeared to be a modified steel drum. It definitely added to the ambiance of the place.
From there, we headed to the Piazza del Popolo, a crowded plaza with the usual bustle of activity. Our real destination was the nearby Villa Borghese, home of the Villa Giulia, home of the National Etruscan Museum. We didn't have time to take day trips to the Etruscan archeological sites north of the city, so this was the next best thing.
You have to be a huge history nerd to walk through an entire building full of Greek and Etruscan art, so…..hi, nice to meet you! Mom was interested, but I think she was also humoring me. We didn't take photos, but the museum link above has some nice ones.
My favorite piece from the collection is this:
It's a scene from the "Seven Against Thebes" myth, and yes, that guy at the bottom is trying to eat the other guy's brains. The figure on the far left, with the WTF?! expression, is Athena. Even the goddess of war thought this was a bit much, and she withdrew a previous offer of immortality from the cranium-muncher. Of all the crazy stuff depicted in Greco-Etruscan art, this may well be the most awesome.
By the time we left the museum, it was dark, and we realized we no longer had our street map. No telling where it ended up, but thankfully, there was a big "you are here" map nearby. Thanks to Mom's human-compass sense of direction and my photographic memory, we were able to get to the right cross street.
We were also hungry, so we stopped at a little neighborhood pizza place, where the phrasebook Italian came in handy. In the touristy areas, most people speak at least a little English, but once you get into the "real" Rome, the locals' English is about as good as my Italian. We managed to order, eat, and pay successfully, and I got (and understood!) directions to the nearby subway station. I even got a "Brava!" from the lady at the counter when I understood her instructions for finding the restroom. That felt good.
So did finally getting home that night. And buying a new map.
Rome: Day 3 – A Short Trip to Another Country (Technically)
Friday was our day to visit the Vatican Museums, which entailed riding the subway. I've ridden the New York subway, and I can't find my way around without the help of a local. Rome, on the other hand, has an incredibly easy system to navigate. Its builders have had to dodge 3000 years' worth of historical artifacts, yet still created something efficient and practical. What the hell is Kansas City's excuse?
Anyway, the Vatican is in an actual, medieval walled city-state (although they don't stamp your passport, darn it). Just sitting on a bench outside those walls was pretty remarkable for an American. It was also a fun opportunity for people-watching, especially when the illegal street vendors scramble for cover upon sighting a police car. Those guys can fold up their stuff and run fast – they'll hide behind cars or dumpsters while the officers of the Guardia di Finanza park, look around, and drive away. Within a few minutes, the vendors have set back up, like nothing happened. Considering how obnoxious those guys are – they practically shove their souvenirs into your hands, no matter how many times you say "NO" – I was unsympathetic, I'll admit. At least the street beggars stay out of your face.
Once inside the museums, you quickly realize that maps and directions are useless. The place is a huge, crowded maze, and only about half the signs have English translations. The only thing you can't miss is the Sistine Chapel, as signs pointing to La Cappella Sistina are all over the place (it's basically the last stop). Until then, the best option is to just wander around, taking in as much of this breathtaking collection as possible. We looked at enough ancient statues to make me happy, and seemed to find another beautiful painting or tapestry every time we turned a corner. They even let you take photos, which is unusual in museums (and churches), given the damage flash photography can do. It's well-lit enough here that no one needed their flash, so that may explain why it was OK.
The Sistine Chapel is smaller and darker than I imagined, but once you adjust and look up, it hits you that Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" is right above your head. Then you notice how much detail covers every inch of the place, how some of the figures are so brilliantly designed, they seem to be climbing out of the walls and ceiling. Suddenly, size doesn't matter.
We ventured out to a courtyard to rest, then realized we had no idea how to get out. Granted, there are worse places to be trapped, but we were tired and wanted to see St. Peter's Square before we headed home. A nice security guard pointed us in the right direction, and we walked down the neat spiral staircase, out the main exit, and around the wall (past the Swiss Guards). We stood in the huge expanse of the Square, gazing at St. Peter's Basilica……and at the ridiculous line to get in. This may be one of the world's great structures, full of art and history, but there was no way we were standing in that line. So we admired the outside, which was impressive in itself (did you know there's a 4000-year-old Egyptian obelisk in the middle of the Square? You do now!).
We hit up a couple of souvenir shops, knowing this would be the ultimate place to buy Christmas gifts for our Catholic friends. Pope Francis is really popular – there is "I ♥ Papa Francesco" stuff all over the place. We like him too, and there does seem to be a fairly upbeat spirit around the Vatican now. I don't know what it was like before, but it's hard to imagine this many smiling faces during Emperor Palpatine Pope Benedict's rule.
Another train ride, another gelato stop, another noisy night in the neighborhood, and we were ready to tackle Day 4.

I'm Even More Quotable!
My colleague Michael D. Smith has an article at KC Metropolis about film criticism in our fair city. I'm in it. Here's the link: http://kcmetropolis.org/issue/january-15-2014/article/film-criticism-alive-and-well-in-kc
The Critical List – 3 Movies that Got Shafted by the Academy (and 2 1/2 That Should Have)
I don't generally get too upset about the Oscar nominations. It's an industry award, so it's more about film people recognizing their peers than it is about the absolute best of the year. There are also a limited number of slots in each category (something I wish they'd change for everything, like they did for Best Picture). It's inevitable that some of the best films and performances will get left out, and 2013 is no exception. So, let's just say I'm annoyed on behalf of these movies.
What Got Robbed:
1. Inside Llewyn Davis – This is the most egregious omission, since it was considered a contender by many observers. The Coen Brothers' portrait of a folk musician navigating the early '60s New York scene wasn't exactly a crowd-pleaser. In fact, it turned off some viewers, mainly because it's a comedy that doesn't always seem like one, and its lead character (Oscar Isaac) is kind of a dick. But Isaac is terrific in the role, the music (including a few original songs) is great, and the script is witty and complex. But all it got were nods for cinematography and sound mixing. WTF, Academy?
2. All Is Lost – In any other year, Robert Redford would have a Best Actor nod locked up. His performance as a sailor stranded alone in the Indian Ocean is the very definition of "tour de force" – especially since he's 77 years old and hasn't been in front of the camera in years. It's also a one-man show with very little dialogue, and a masterpiece of directing (by J.C. Chandor) and editing (by Pete Beaudreau). All it got from the Oscars was a sound editing nom.
3. Enough Said – Nicole Holofcener's sweet, funny romance may have descended into sitcom tropes, but it still delighted me (and many others). Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the late James Gandolfini are a surprisingly, genuinely adorable couple, and Holofcener's script is full of smart observations about the challenges of love, especially after a certain age. And what did it get for being this awesome? Zippo, that's what.
What Robbed Them:
1. August: Osage County – This adaptation of Tracy Letts' play is shrill, oppressive, and melodramatic – and that's in its better moments. The fact that Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts got acting nominations just proves that Streep will get nominated for everything she does (it's the law), and Roberts can always count on accolades for playing against type. Those slots should have gone to actresses who weren't directed to swallow the scenery whole.
2. Dallas Buyers Club – In this case the acting nods are justified, although Matthew McConaughey is still playing a variation on his usual persona (just a very effective one). But the movie itself is muddled and heavy-handed, and would not have been on anyone's radar without McConaughey and Jared Leto.
1/2. American Hustle – I really liked David O. Russell's fictionalization of the ABSCAM scandal. It's a fun movie with first-rate performances by the appropriately-recognized Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence. It's hardly Russell's best work, however, and Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper aren't in top form either. It deserves nominations, just not so many of them.
Rome: Day 2 – Lots of Angels, No Demons, One Irritating Restaurateur
Thursday was orientation day, which involved a fairly quick bus trip. It was crowded, but efficient, which turned out to be true of the Rome's entire public transportation system.
Our stop was in front of Santa Maria in Vallicella, also known as the Chiesa Nuova, or "New Church." It dates from the late 1500s, but it was built on the site of an earlier church, hence the nickname. In Europe, time is measured in centuries, not years.
We walked through some of those famously narrow, angled streets until our destination, the Chiostro del Bramante, was in sight. We had 45 minutes to kill, so we accepted the offer of a table at a nice little pizzeria. Every sidewalk in Rome has these small restaurants, where employees stand outside and try (usually in several languages) to get you to eat at their establishments. This particular one was run by an older man whose family had owned the place for ages. We thought, "Real Italian pizza, why not?" and took a seat. We ordered and gladly accepted the free wine. Then we waited…..and waited. Half an hour.
Meanwhile, our Untours liaison, Mary, happened to walk by on her way to the Chiostro. She informed the proprietor that we had a meeting to get to, which he seemed to take as an offense. It did finally light a fire under the staff, who brought us our food with barely five minutes to spare. The owner tried to make it seem like slow service was a typical Italian thing, but our experience at every other restaurant on our trip proved otherwise.
There were four other people in this Untours group – a couple in their 60s who are longtime world travelers, and a pair of older women from California. And by "older," I mean one of them was 91, and the other wasn't much younger. They travel together a lot, and every time Mom and I started to complain about being tired after a day of sightseeing, we reminded ourselves of our extreme relative youth and shut up.
Next came a short walk to the Castel Sant'Angelo. A pedestrian bridge across the Tiber, lined with angel statues, leads to a building that epitomizes Rome's "layer cake" history. It was built as a tomb for the Emperor Hadrian, and years of looting have exposed the detailed brick work and other engineering feats. Over the centuries, it also served as a fortress, a prison, and a hideout for the Pope during attacks on the city.
That last use led to some spectacular artwork, especially on the ceilings. I don't know what it was about Renaissance artists and ceilings, but if you ever go into a building in Rome, look up. It's totally worth the neck strain.
We wound down with some free food and wine (everyone has a glass of wine handy in this country). When we emerged from the cafeteria, we saw the the sunset from the Castel's balcony. It had been overcast and drizzly all day, so this vision was a lovely way to cap off our first real sojourn into la Città Eterna.

"August: Osage County" – Review
Director: John Wells
Writer: Tracy Letts; based on his play
Cast: Meryl Streep as Violet Weston, Julia Roberts as Barbara Weston, Julianne Nicholson as Ivy Weston, Juliette Lewis as Karen Weston, Ewan McGregor as Bill, Chris Cooper as Charles, Margo Martindale as Mattie Fae, Benedict Cumberbatch as "Little Charles", Dermot Mulroney as Steve, Abigail Breslin as Jean, Misty Upham as Johnna, Sam Shepard as Beverly Weston
Rated R
Running time: 2 hours
IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1322269
Plot: When writer Beverly Weston disappears, his family gathers at the home he shared with his volatile wife, Violet, in rural Oklahoma.
I haven't seen Tracy Letts' play of August: Osage County, but the fact that it won a Pulitzer indicates that it's probably pretty good. Given the source material, the skills of director John Wells, and the ridiculously awesome cast, it's hard to figure out why this film adaptation is so godawful.
Rome: Day 1 – OHMYGODWEACTUALLYDIDIT!
I know this is a movie blog, but there was no other good place to post this, so enjoy! (We did make a stop at CineCittá on Day 5, so it counts. Sort of.)
Read the Movie – "Beautiful Ruins" by Jess Walter (2012)
In 1962, a lovely, mysterious actress appears in the tiny Italian seaside town of Porto Vergogna, and the young proprietor of the local inn, Pasquale Tursi, immediately falls in love. He can't begin to imagine the tangle of Hollywood gossip and glamour that's about to surround his dreary world. All he knows is that this woman, Dee Moray, needs him, and he needs her.
What follows is a gorgeous romance that follows its characters through decades of good times, bad decisions, and the constant, wistful sense of "what might have been." Besides Dee and Pasquale, Jess Walter follows studio executives, an aspiring screenwriter, and a young man who may be the offspring of a famous (and famously debauched) movie star.
Walter has a writing style that could be described as very literary, full of dense sentences and observations, not to mention constant jumps in time and place. Beautiful Ruins is the kind of book you read carefully, not casually, because you will miss something important if you're too distracted. Those important things aren't always plot points, either – sometimes, Walter's insights are so piercing, they overwhelm any concerns about narrative. This is one of the best books I've read in years, and it left me emotionally satisfied in a way that few works of fiction can.
Read It If You Like: Old-school Hollywood scandal; studio machinations; melancholy romance; Italy.
Would It Make a Good Movie?: Only if someone could untangle the complicated storyline and multiple character arcs. It's almost unfilmable, which may not be a bad thing. Some books just don't lend themselves.

"You've never seen me like this before," says Salma Hayek of her performance in the Joe Lynch-directed action thriller 'Everly.'

I'm sticking to my observations that most artificial link building schemes are of little value when it comes to ranking web pages in the search engine results.
Top keyphrase contenders in competitive environments usually have either deployed exceptional on-site optimization or have effective off-site influences. Most often though, it's some combination of both.
About Grey Hat SEO - Even the most powerfully deceptive off-site manipulation trick (link building strategy) isn't necessarily the only search engine optimisation that'll show up at the top of valuable search results. There's tons of examples of ethical SEO atop the puffed-up piles of linked nonsense.

Sandra Novack has earned great acclaim with her short fiction, which has appeared in more than thirty literary venues, including The Gettysburg Review, Gulf Coast, and The Iowa Review . Now, in this new collection of stories, she further demonstrates her mastery of the form while exploring a universal theme: the desire for connection.
In "Cerulean Skies," a wife must deal with her husband's artistic calling while reexamining the loss of her own creative passion. A young woman is forced to confront the truth of her past, and its affect on her present love life, when she inherits her late dad's possessions in "My Father's Mahogany Leg." In "Memphis" a man walks a delicate line between caring for his schizophrenic brother and keeping his new marriage afloat. "The Thin Border Between Here and Disaster" finds two married college professors faced with the fallout from their divorce, and a boy wrestles with his faith after the death of his mother in "Morty, El Morto."
Fierce, sexual, and contentious, these moving tales place Sandra Novack's prodigious talent on full display. Everyone but You illuminates the common truths behind some of the most profound moments in our lives.

February 6, 2014 - I LOVE this necklace and had my first one for years which was lost in a move, so I replaced it. I still love it so much and give these necklaces as gifts for friends. I have both the black cord and the silver tone chain. My favorite is the black chord one. people always notice it and compliment it. I recommend this for yourself as well as for gifts for friends.
October 29, 2013 - I bought this for myself and I LOVE it. Really nice quality at a really nice price.
October 21, 2013 - Bought the necklace for my Fiance'. She loves it. The only slight flaw was the hoops make it a little heavy on the neck but other than that, a must buy.
August 14, 2013 - Necklace w/silver-tone chain..very cute...love it!
July 21, 2013 - This is a great site for everyone. The necklace /chain is beautiful...I love it..GREAT

Ok, first of all, this problem is quite complex, but to put it briefly:
After much hacking about I can't get Ubuntu to boot - it stalls at a blinking cursor. I have looked at many different options such as setting noapic
, and pressing Shift to enter the Grub menu, etc. - these solutions aren't working.
These are the steps I performed:
- Got an Apple MacBook Pro, with 2 internal drives (an SSD and a regular hard disk drive).
- Mac OS X Maverik installed to SSD (with partitions for Ubuntu, Windows, swap and share) HDD contains data - so can't be wiped (with partition for Ubuntu and swap)
- Used VirtualBox with a virtual raw disk pointed at the HDD, and an ISO of Ubuntu as the installation disc. Installed Ubuntu to this disk (in VM this is represented as
). I've chosen to install Grub to/dev/sda
. Restart and boot this disk (no problem)
All happy so far!
Used VirtualBox in Ubuntu (HDD) to install Ubuntu to the SSD (partition called Ubuntu)
Used VirtualBox in Ubuntu (HDD) to install Windows to the SDD (partition called Windows)
Restarted, can boot HDD Ubuntu, SDD Ubuntu, SDD OSX and SDD Windows (it crashes - but it does at least start the boot).
Pretty damn happy here too!
boot into OSX - fine.
restart. Can't boot anything but OSX, anything else gives blinking cursor.
I can still load my VM Ubuntu - which points to the HDD Ubuntu.
I have refit installed on the SDD - when I hold the option key down I see:
Refit, Windows, Refit
That's not a typo - I see two copies of refit (I have checked. It is only installed to SDD) Windows here actually points to the HDD Ubuntu.
I have tried:
- Boot repair (says repaired) - no effect
- Grub update (with
) - no effect - Grub2 update - no effect
- holding Shift to get grub2 menu - no effect
- tapping Esc at blinking cursor to get Grub2 menu - no effect
Any help that can be provided would be amazing. I really don't want to have to start over.

King Engers.
November 1, 2010At exactly 9:00 am the great guru of speed sport launched into ride to define a career, astride a purpose built TT machine this aging fighter with the rock star persona strained every sinew as he pushed forward from the start line. Ahead lay 25 miles of testing… Schooled by two decades of competition Alf would have quickly fallen into his race stride, not a gentle roll, or even a head down hard effort, the very nature of a 25 mile TT demands nothing short of maximum performance at every level, mental, physical, mechanical…never has the old saying 'when the flag drops the bullshit stops' been so appropriate.

Don't be a pie biter.
November 20, 2009Saw this real nice post over at Freeman Transport of some of the wise words from inspirational champion track rider Major Taylor.
Major Taylor's celebrated values remain relevant to this day — not just for those who strive to succeed as a champion, but for those who desire to achieve in all aspects of life:
Don't try to "gyp."
Don't be a pie biter.
Don't keep late hours.
Don't use intoxicants.
Don't be a big bluffer.
Don't eat cheap candies.
Don't get a swelled head.
Don't use tobacco in any form.
Don't fail to live a clean life.
Don't forget to play the game fair.
Don't take in unfair advantage of an opponent.
Don't forget the practice of good sportsmanship.
"These rules may seem simple enough, but it will require great morale and physical courage to adhere to them. But if carried out in the strict sense of the word it will surely lead to a greater success than could otherwise be attained."
–Major Taylor, The Fastest Bicycle Rider In The World, 1928.

The Fifty-Seventh Annual Meeting of the RSA
Montreal, Québec Canada
24-26 March, 2011
Although the call for papers deadline is now past due, you may review the suggested round table discussions on the RSA website.
"Since 1954, the Renaissance Society of America has been the leading organization in the Americas for the interdisciplinary study of the period 1300-1650 in Western history. The RSA brings together members from many backgrounds who are interested in a wide variety of disciplines related to this period.
(NL) Call for Papers: "Music and Patronage in the Low Countries" -- KVNM Autumn Meeting (Nov. 12-13, 2010)
Koninklijke Vereniging voor Nederlandse Muziekgeschiedenis (KVNM)
Royal Dutch Society for Music (KVNM)
Deadline for submission: 15 May 2010
In many languages the term "maecenas", derived from Gaius Cilnius Maecenas (70 BC - 8 BC), councilor of emperor Augustus, has become synonymous with lavish and enlightened patronage of the arts. Being in service as a musician or a composer, however, did not necessarily imply that the artist had found himself a maecenas. In 1556, for instance, Orlandus Lassus dedicated his first book of motets to Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle, most likely because Lassus hoped that this influential statesman might help provide him with a position in the internationally renowned capilla flamenca of Philips II. Unfortunately for Lassus, his colleague Pierre de Manchicourt, who preceded Lassus in dedicating a music publication to Granvelle, was appointed instead.

(IE) Introducing the new eBook: PLAYING THE BAROQUE HARPSICHORD (2010) in EBook format
Bray Baroque announces its newest title: Playing the Baroque Harpsichord (2010)
Essays on the instrument, interpretation and performance, with relevant topics for the clavichord and organ. By C. Di Veroli.
This is an integrated collection of updated and expanded essays, some of them endorsed by leading harpsichordists. Only a few chapters are specific for the harpsichord: most of the book applies to all the Baroque keyboard instruments and some chapters to general Baroque music interpretation topics. Several colour figures are included, as well as musical examples from well-known Baroque works. The reader will find here the answer to well-known long-standing problems. Thorough guidance is provided on difficult matters such as ornamentation, articulation, tempi, registration, sesquialter rhythms, notes inégales and further topics that have been found to be useful to the modern performer of Baroque keyboard music, whether amateur, advanced student or professional player.

(US) Sarge Gerbode's Lute Page -- 3000 Lute Pieces in French Tablature
"I have collected these pieces over the years from the internet or have entabulated and/or arranged or realized them myself. I have edited all of them and formatted them to fit nicely on US letter size paper (8.5 x 11 in), though some are formatted for US legal size (8.5 x 14 in). I have not formatted any for A4, as life is too short. Again, if you have Fronimo, it is pretty easy to reformat these to taste. I have tried to create performable copy in all cases. These pieces are mostly for renaissance lute, but quite a few are for baroque lute and archlute, and a very few for theorbo, cittern, bandora, guitar etc. Other pieces include songs and continuo pieces, listed by composer. Under Lute ensemble in the list of composers, you will find pieces for two or more lutes. Source facsimiles are now grouped together in one place.

It was about five years ago that I had the honor of meeting the lovely Bethanne Strasser in a place called Romance Divas. Since the Diva Days, our friendship has grown and we've stuck by each other through the ups and downs of writing. Now I finally get the chance to share some of the inner demons fantastic things that make her so loveable. So let's get started shall we?
Moira: So darling Betty, I have some mad little bakers in the back who are in need of something to bake. Cupcakes preferably. So if you could have them whip you up the cupcake of your dreams, what would it be?
Bethanne: Oh, oh, oh! I'm dying to try your Irish Creme frosting and I just know you can whip up an awesome mochaccino cake batter. Mmmm.
Moira: Hmmm, mochaccino huh? I might have to see what I can do, but for now I will get my lil baking zombies to work on those Bailey's cupcakes with Irish Creme frosting. Would you care for some coffee to wash it down?
Bethanne: YES! Coffee, black with one sweetner, or is it sweetener?
Moira: Sweetener my dear…sweetener, but those of us that are southern at heart like to drop letters so sweetner works just as well. I know you will be or have been asked this a lot, but what got you started in writing?
Bethanne: When I was pregnant with number 3, I had insomnia. At the same time some big name NY publishing house started re-releasing Trixie Belden. I love TB! I also felt bad for her… 39 years worth of stories and she never left young adulthood. In a way–and I don't admit it with pride–my first story was fan fiction. *blush* In case you're curious…there is A LOT of TB fanfic out there and not all of it can be read by my grandmother. Bottom line? I was a reader. I never thought of writing a book until I was 28. Once the idea occurred to me, I couldn't quite suppress it.
Moira: True-once the bug bites, it sticks with you. Is it difficult being superwoman? I mean you have five amazing kids and you are married to 'the Army Man' so where do you find the time to write?
Bethanne: Lately? I don't seem to be doing much NEW writing. My polish isn't as shiny as it looks from a distance. Mostly, I write when the kids are occupied. Bedtime, school, Wii, quiet time… Best of all, sometimes my husband lets me out by myself and I can go to a coffee shop or the library for a couple of hours. It's wonderful! I pray and wish that for every one of my friends.
Moira: Well you might claim your polish isn't that shiny, but I am not buying it. Tell me a genre you wish you read more of?
Bethanne: Ha! How about…romance, any genre! Because seriously, my reading hours seem so danged few! I've got a great idea about a young YA, step above middle grade…so I have been curious to pick up a few good middle grade books and a few good YAs.
Moira: Would have sworn you would have said Urban Fantasy. And the idea of you writing a YA always makes me smile. Any strange writing quirks or rituals? Perhaps you can only write with the worn out pink bunny slippers on your feet.
Bethanne: Honestly? I have no writing quirks… that I know of. What do you think?
Moira: Well, I'm not here to divulge all your dirty secrets – just the ones you give me permission to. If you could have dinner with your favorite author, who would it be and why?
Bethanne: I'd have dinner with Nina Croft. Because that would mean I'm in Spain sitting next to a pool. I've thought about having dinner with Nora Roberts, but I think… yes, I think I'd rather go to go Washington and sit with Christina Dodd. Again, because of the view. Plus, she seems more down-to-earth and smart ass than Roberts, which I would like.
Moira: Well, you and I can totally relate to being down-to-earth smart asses. The apocalypse is upon us. You wake to a world where there is only one person there, one book, and one additional item of your choosing. What are they and why?
Bethanne: OMG! One person?! That's it! I just got a little verklempt thinking of my sweet baby Darla because, of course, my one person is Matt. Not that I don't love the other kids just as much!!! But, ya know. Something about the baby. One book, I should say the bible. It would be good to pass that down to the kids as Matt and I repopulate the earth. I can always write what I want to read… or just talk it, for that matter. haha. one additional item… A knife.
Moira: Haha! Repopulate the earth! Love it. Betty you are priceless. Tell us about your current project.
Bethanne: Now–or as soon as I get For Love or Duty on the shelves–I'm opening my ms, Flashback, and rewriting the end. Shouldn't take too long. Hopefully a month or so? Flashback is another military romance, this one with suspense. Emily Rogers is an FBI sharpshooter who has put down her guns, but when a threat appears in her life, she has to find the courage to pick them back up and get into a job she thought she'd left behind. It's a strong woman kind of story.
Moira: I love a story about a strong female character, but while I can't wait for more books from you to populate my Kindle, I want to know more about your release. Care to share a blurb from 'For Love or Duty'?
Bethanne: Growing up the proverbial military brat, Valerie Standish has shed her old ways. Yet, she's been around long enough to recognize that familiar arrogance when Kevin Morgan walks through the door. This time she is drawn to the persistent captain like she hasn't been to any man before, making it harder to keep her promise—never get involved with an officer.
Kevin doesn't have a problem with her unwillingness to commit long term. He isn't quite ready to settle either. For years, he's worked hard to earn a promotion to Major. He wants one last fling before tying himself to a wife for the rest of his life.
But time proves them both liars as they begin to fall for each other. Neither is prepared for the ache of betrayal as they come face to face with the truth about one another.

(AFP) – Jul 2, 2008
TOKYO (AFP) — Japanese oil giant Showa Shell Sekiyu plans to build one of the world's largest solar panel plants with an investment of at least 100 billion yen (948 million dollars), a spokesman said Wednesday.
Showa Shell Sekiyu, an affiliate of Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell, plans to begin construction in 2011, said the company spokesman, who declined to be named. The location has not yet been decided.
He said the new plant would have an annual capacity of 1,000 megawatts, equivalent to that of a regular-sized nuclear power reactor, and outdistancing Sharp's domestic plant which has an estimated 710 megawatts a year.
"We hope that the solar panel businesses will be the second pillar of our earnings" as soaring oil prices encourage energy saving, he said.
Showa Shell Sekiyu is currently producing next-generation solar cells made of compounds such as copper and indium at its plant in Miyazaki, southwestern Japan, with an annual capacity of 20 megawatts.
"We want to use the technology at our new plant" as prices of silicon, a major raw material for production of mainstream cells, are rising due to growing demand for solar panels, the spokesman said.
Possible locations for the new plant include in Europe and the Middle East, according to Japanese media.
The company will choose the location based on factors such as the local labour, procurement and demand conditions, the spokesman said.
"In terms of demand for panels, Japan can be a strong candidate as the government is now pushing the solar cells business," he said.
Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda has set a target to raise the use of solar cells 10-fold from present levels by 2020, with the government considering subsidies and tax breaks for households turning to solar power.
Japan, which has virtually no natural energy resources of its own, aims to take the lead in environmentally friendly energy.
It has put climate change high on the agenda for this year's summit of leaders from the Group of Eight rich nations, which it will host next week.
Japanese electronics giant Sharp Corp. said last month that it was teaming up with regional utility Kansai Electric Power Co. to build one of the biggest solar power facilities in the world in western Japan.
