Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A blood test can tell how much hemoglobin you have in your blood.
See also: Hemoglobin electrophoresis
Hgb; Hb
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
No special preparation is necessary.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
The hemoglobin test is almost always done as part of a complete blood count (CBC).
Normal results vary, but in general are:
Note: gm/dL = grams per deciliter
Lower-than-normal hemoglobin may be due to:
Higher-than-normal hemoglobin may be due to:
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

For The Outlaws, it was always about the music. For 40 years, the Southern Rock legends celebrated triumphs, endured tragedies and survived legal nightmares to remain one of the most influential and best-loved bands of the genre. Now The Outlaws return with new music, new focus and an uncompromising new mission: It's about a band of brothers bound together by history, harmony and the road. It's about a group that respects its own legacy while refusing to be defined by its past. But most of all, it's about pride.
Like gold in the Cumberland River, Greg Bates is that rare find of an artist: one born and raised right in Nashville. In the most genuine sense, he is a true product of Music City, motivated not by the trappings of country-music stardom, but by the reward of a well-written lyric. For Greg, it really did all start with a song. "I was crazy about reading liner notes," says the 24-year-old singer, guitarist and songwriter, who is poised to release his self-titled major-label debut on Republic Nashville. "I started picking up patterns of certain songwriters and hearing them in the music, and that was always the coolest thing to me." |
Track side festival style tickets are $25 and the grandstand is $20. You can get them at Countryside Veterinary Clinic and are available now. Just call 376-6563 and ask for Donna.
No seats are provided track side (Festival style). Everyone is on their feet anyway.

From deep in the swamps of Florida comes Kachunga, a real American Bushman who dares to step foot into the wet domain of the alligator. Watch in astonishment as he apprehends a ferocious man-eating reptile with his bare hands. Most people have never seen an alligator up close. The mystique of these giant reptiles is in itself a big draw. Now imagine the thrill of watching a man pit his strength and agility against nine feet 300 Ibs. of lashing tail and gnashing jaws in a dangerous dance of reflexes and cunning. Kachunga's struggle with the alligator keeps each member of the audience on the edge of their seat biting their nails and curling their toes. Kachunga is sponsored by Community Bank N.A. Ditsy

I was merely pointing out the fact that everything that is included in the newest version of Android that Google pushes, is in fact available on the previous generation of phones. What I was pointing out is that Google does not purposely cripple new software updates for older phones- which is something that we see Apple do on iOS devices. I'm not arguing that people should go out and buy an Android phone because of this (I'm a happy iPhone owner), but I don't think it's fair or accurate to say that Android's update cycle is infrequent or limiting when actually iOS updates are more likely to limit you and make you want to go purchase a new phone simply because of a new feature that they did not enable for a previous phone. (Siri as one example). |

if a U.S. company* has this idea they'll spend six figures and 2 years trying to get Apple to approve it. then it gets released and everyone laughs because it only works with the last version of the phone. *Unless you're Bose or B&O then you get a heads up |

The problem with all these gaming controller add-on's is that a) there are no standards for gamepads in iOS and b) there are too many different types out there, with perhaps the iCade from Ion being the only one with any decent traction. All of them require gaming developers to either write their games to support the peripheral (and this possibly requires licensing a SDK to do so, and/or agreeing to some revenue share with the game pad SDK provider) or to go back and add it on later.
While the iOS gaming market is quite large, the gaming market that owns any particular gaming peripheral is but a fraction of that. And with games going for $1, there's just not enough margin in there to fiddle around with supporting a device that nets you a whopping extra 4 paying customers. Too bad really. I wish Apple would have released a bluetooth gaming standard or something natively in iOS. Same situation exists for digital stylus support, unfortunately, but at least you can use anyone's capacitive stylus or your finger. No SDK required in that case.

I understand this, but I was referring to the Nexus line of phones. If you look at Google's Nexus line of phones, where they do have control, they are up to date software wise without crippling features. I understand they're not the same- but the comment I originally replied to in this thread was not accurate. |

I was actually somewhat intrigued by the large number of 'gaming devices' available at Toys R Us over the holidays when out shopping for my nephew. You can get everything from fishing rod simulators, lazer tag gun devices (from Nerf no less) and even full-size piano keyboards that interface to the iPad or iPhone now. And all of these are more or less single-use devices. So summary: Really need a gaming interface standard. I wish Apple was working on one. It would really help solidify their ecosystem IMO if they would.

Mods are fun
But for the most part, they show that Steve made the right decision when he wanted a software keyboard. Look at all that extra metal you have to carry around. I remember tons of people saying, "I'll never leave my Blackberry because it has a real keyboard!" (And half the screen size.) Want to type quickly and accurately? Get a Bluetooth keyboard that fits your hands.

I kind of like the idea of the 60beat controller:
http://www.60beat.com/category_s/74.htm It's a more traditional (comfortable-looking) game controller, along the lines of an XBox controller. It plugs into the headphone jack, which seems like a decent concept for future-compatibility. Not sure how good/bad the latency is. |

His comment isn't entirely incorrect. The iPhone kept largely the same design for three years, then the next design was kept for two years before intoducing another new design. In contrast to the "6 months" he stated.

By the same margin, the GSI GSII and GSIII, Note I and Note II, as well as a decent amount of other handsets, have largely kept the same design and design aesthetics, making his/her point all the more moot.

The Eden Valley Watkins FFA chapter would like to thank everyone who purchased fruit, meat, and cheese this year. We had a very successful sale of more than $30,000 worth of product. Twelve pallets of fruit arrived Thursday, Dec. 5, and was unloaded by 42 FFA members. The top three sales people this year were Dillon Blonigen, Mandy Molitor, and Arnie Gruenes. Thanks again for your continued support of the Eden Valley Watkins FFA chapter.
Mrs. Tracy Huhn

Youth donate more than 75 birthday bags to area food shelves
Children laughing and having fun, decorations, a cake with candles, and presents are all hallmarks of most children's birthday parties. Unfortunately, this is not a reality for all families. Celebrating a birthday is a big occasion for any family, but one that is made much more stressful and at times, impossible for some families. The Meeker County 4-H Program has helped to make this possible for more than 75 more children.
One hundred youth from four area school districts, including: Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City, Eden Valley-Watkins, Kimball, and Litchfield, participated in a 4-H Holiday Gift Surprises class during December. This class was made possible through a partnership between Meeker County 4-H and local Community Education Programs.
Santa and Mrs. Claus had a historic setting for photos with kids at Forest City Stockade's 18th annual Pioneer Christmas Saturday, Dec. 7. Staff photo

Wednesday, Dec. 11
Join us for Breakfast Club with Dr. Betsy Glade, St. Cloud State University, who will present Minnesotans in the Civil War. Residents of Minnesota had a unique experience in the 1860s. They volunteered to serve their nation in putting down the rebellion by 11 southern states. They also engaged in an internal struggle against their neighbors, the Dakota.
Dr. Glade will explore the experience of various populations in the state, as well as of soldiers serving elsewhere during this period.
Breakfast Club is at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11, with Dr. Betsy Glade. This event is free to members, non-members $5.
Eden Valley Healthy Communities Holiday Gathering is planned for 6-8:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15, at the Event Center. It will include opportunity for Food Shelf donations.
This is an annual event usually coordinated with the Holiday Train coming through; since this year the train is not stopping in Eden Valley, the event is still planned. The Holiday train will stop in Kimball at 9 p.m.
Activities are still being planned, but at this point, the Kingery Family is presenting a Christmas Concert from 7-8 p.m. at the Event Center; soup, hot chocolate, cider, and cookies will be served from 6-8:30 p.m.
Watch for more information in next week's Tri-County News..

Tyler Austin got his first stint in the Arizona Fall League off to a fast start Tuesday.
Austin, a New York Yankees farmhand who is playing for the Scottsdale Scorpions, went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in the Scorpions' 6-5 victory over the Salt River Rafters in the fall league opener.
The 22-year old Heritage graduate, coming off his fourth season in the Yankees' organization, batted seventh and played first base, an unfamiliar position. Scottsdale played Salt River again Wednesday night and Austin and his new teammates, which include fellow Yankees' farmhands Vidal Nuno, Mason Williams, Peter O'Brien, Brett Gerritse, Fred Lewis and James Pazos, will play a 31-game schedule that wraps up Nov. 14.

The pickup: Several slices of fresh salmon, troll-caught off the Oregon coast.
The results: Back in my college days, I played waitress one evening at a professor-hosted dinner party. On the appetizer table was a slab of homemade cured salmon, beautiful to the eye and richly unctuous in the mouth. Over the years since then, I've tried to replicate it.
Seattle chef Tom Douglas offers a cured-salmon recipe featuring juniper berries in his book Tom Douglas' Seattle Kitchen, but the gin flavor of the berries is a little, well, potent. Last week I tried a recipe by San Francisco chef Traci Des Jardins (originally published in the September/October 2005 issue of Chow magazine, now available online at the Chow webzine.) This was more like it: smooth, creamy, and tangy, with salmon (not gin) as the dominant flavor.
However satisfying, the Chow recipe was a little vague in its measurements, calling for vast quantities of salt and sugar and a widely varying amount of fish. So I adjusted all the measurements (the full recipe is available in the Culinate Kitchen), left the fish in the fridge overnight, and dined on it the next day. It was perfectly tasty served with crackers and a bit of crème fraîche, but quite delicious all by itself, too.

World Heritage Committee keeps Dresden Elbe Valley on UNESCO World Heritage List, urging an end to building of bridge
The World Heritage Committee has decided to retain Dresden Elbe Valley on UNESCO World Heritage List in the hope that the building of a four-lane bridge across the valley will be stopped and work undertaken to reverse damage caused to the integrity of the landscape of the German site.
The Committee said it regretted the construction of the bridge underway and urged the authorities to opt for the digging of a tunnel in its stead. It said that in the event that the construction of the bridge was not stopped and damage reversed, the property would be deleted from the World Heritage List in 2009. Meanwhile the property remains on the Danger List.
Although the Committee decided last year that it would remove the property from the World Heritage List if a bridge were built, it decided to give Dresden more time in view of legal proceedings underway in Germany. The Committee felt that the opposition to the construction of the bridge must be given a chance to succeed and that retaining the property on the list would help that fight.
The 18th- and 19th-century cultural landscape of Dresden Elbe Valley stretches some 18 km along the river from Übigau Palace and Ostragehege fields in the north-west to the Pillnitz Palace and the Elbe River Island in the south-east. It was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2004.
The property, which features low meadows, and is crowned by the Pillnitz Palace and the centre of Dresden with its numerous monuments and parks from the 16th to 20th centuries, was inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger in 2006 because of the plan to build a bridge, which has since been started.

After the initial injury diagnosis of a small tear in his pitching elbow's UCL, Kyle McClellan said he hoped he'd be able to just rehab it and avoid surgery. But he sought a second opinion just in case and was reassured that Tommy John surgery would not be necessary. Now he's hoping for a return some time in August.
Kyle McClellan went to Florida yesterday to get a second opinion on his elbow from Dr. Andrews, who also said TJ surgery was not needed.
— B.J. Rains (@BJRains) May 22, 2012
McClellan will continue to rehab and won't throw for 6-8 weeks but is confident he will pitch again in August and September.

Accurate Sound Localization in Reverberant Environments Is Mediated by Robust Encoding of Spatial Cues in the Auditory Midbrain
Neuron, Volume 62, Issue 1, 16 April 2009, Pages 123-134
Sasha Devore, Antje Ihlefeld, Kenneth Hancock, Barbara Shinn-Cunningham and Bertrand Delgutte
SummaryIn reverberant environments, acoustic reflections interfere with the direct sound arriving at a listener's ears, distorting the spatial cues for sound localization. Yet, human listeners have little difficulty localizing sounds in most settings. Because reverberant energy builds up over time, the source location is represented relatively faithfully during the early portion of a sound, but this representation becomes increasingly degraded later in the stimulus. We show that the directional sensitivity of single neurons in the auditory midbrain of anesthetized cats follows a similar time course, although onset dominance in temporal response patterns results in more robust directional sensitivity than expected, suggesting a simple mechanism for improving directional sensitivity in reverberation. In parallel behavioral experiments, we demonstrate that human lateralization judgments are consistent with predictions from a population rate model decoding the observed midbrain responses, suggesting a subcortical origin for robust sound localization in reverberant environments.

Why Middle-Aged Listeners Have Trouble Hearing in Everyday Settings
Current Biology, Volume 22, Issue 15, 7 August 2012, Pages 1417-1422
Dorea Ruggles, Hari Bharadwaj and Barbara G. Shinn-Cunningham
SummaryAnecdotally, middle-aged listeners report difficulty conversing in social settings, even when they have normal audiometric thresholds [1,2,3]. Moreover, young adult listeners with "normal" hearing vary in their ability to selectively attend to speech amid similar streams of speech. Ignoring age, these individual differences correlate with physiological differences in temporal coding precision present in the auditory brainstem, suggesting that the fidelity of encoding of suprathreshold sound helps explain individual differences [4]. Here, we revisit the conundrum of whether early aging influences an individual's ability to communicate in everyday settings. Although absolute selective attention ability is not predicted by age, reverberant energy interferes more with selective attention as age increases. Breaking the brainstem response down into components corresponding to coding of stimulus fine structure and envelope, we find that age alters which brainstem component predicts performance. Specifically, middle-aged listeners appear to rely heavily on temporal fine structure, which is more disrupted by reverberant energy than temporal envelope structure is. In contrast, the fidelity of envelope cues predicts performance in younger adults. These results hint that temporal envelope cues influence spatial hearing in reverberant settings more than is commonly appreciated and help explain why middle-aged listeners have particular difficulty communicating in daily life.

Reverberation of Recent Visual Experience in Spontaneous Cortical Waves
Neuron, Volume 60, Issue 2, 23 October 2008, Pages 321-327
Feng Han, Natalia Caporale and Yang Dan
SummarySpontaneous waves of activity propagating across large cortical areas may play important roles in sensory processing and circuit refinement. However, whether these waves are in turn shaped by sensory experience remains unclear. Here we report that visually evoked cortical activity reverberates in subsequent spontaneous waves. Voltage-sensitive dye imaging in rat visual cortex shows that following repetitive presentation of a given visual stimulus, spatiotemporal activity patterns resembling the evoked response appear more frequently in the spontaneous waves. This effect is specific to the response pattern evoked by the repeated stimulus, and it persists for several minutes without further visual stimulation. Such wave-mediated reverberation could contribute to short-term memory and help to consolidate the transient effects of recent sensory experience into long-lasting cortical modifications.

Add/View Comments (0)Reverberation Challenges the Temporal Representation of the Pitch of Complex Sounds
Mark Sayles1 and Ian M. Winter1, ,
Corresponding authorSummary
- Accurate neural coding of the pitch of complex sounds is an essential part of auditory scene analysis; differences in pitch help segregate concurrent sounds, while similarities in pitch can help group sounds from a common source. In quiet, nonreverberant backgrounds, pitch can be derived from timing information in broadband high-frequency auditory channels and/or from frequency and timing information carried in narrowband low-frequency auditory channels. Recording from single neurons in the cochlear nucleus of anesthetized guinea pigs, we show that the neural representation of pitch based on timing information is severely degraded in the presence of reverberation. This degradation increases with both increasing reverberation strength and channel bandwidth. In a parallel human psychophysical pitch-discrimination task, reverberation impaired the ability to distinguish a high-pass harmonic sound from noise. Together, these findings explain the origin of perceptual difficulties experienced by both normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners in reverberant spaces.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Rep. Scott DesJarlais, a licensed physician, has been reprimanded and fined by the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners for having sex with patients before he was elected to Congress.
The Republican from Tennessee won re-election last year despite revelations that he had affairs with patients and once urged 1 of them to seek an abortion.
He was fined $500 and is responsible for up to $1,000 in costs for the panel's investigation. He did not the contest the findings.
The ruling comes in response to two complaints filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which called the penalties "piteous."
DesJarlais has already drawn two Republican challengers in advance of next year's primary, state Sen. Jim Tracy and state Rep. Joe Carr.

Welcome Back: The Renaissance of the English Bagpipe
by Julian Goodacre
Bagpipes were played throughout much of Europe from the 13th century onwards with many regions still continuing their own piping traditions. Northumbria is the only region in England that has retained an unbroken bagpipe tradition, though it is clear that for centuries a wide variety of different types of pipes had been played throughout the country. With the death in the mid-19th century of the piper John Hunsley of Manton, Lincolnshire, the last of these English bagpipes fell silent. There are many early depictions, but no actual instruments survive.
Bagpipes began to fall out of favor in the south of England from the 16th century onwards and were increasingly considered to be an instrument of the north. During the 19th century, Highland pipes were adopted by the British Army and bagpipes came to be regarded as a Scottish instrument—few people in England were even aware that bagpipes had ever been part of their heritage.
The spark that rekindled interest in the English bagpiping came over a century after John Hunsley's death. While researching in the early 1960s, Roderick Cannon found many historical references to the bagpipes being played in England and published two articles in The Folk Music Journal in the early 1970s ["The Bagpipe in Northern England", Folk Music Journal, v.2 n.2, 1971, pp. 127–147; "English Bagpipe Music", Folk Music Journal, v.2 n.3, 1972, pp. 176–219].
To revive an extinct instrument requires interest, enthusiasm, music, but above all it requires the instrument itself! The catalyst and focus for the revival was undoubtedly the band Blowzabella, formed by Bill O'Toole and Jon Swayne. They were both studying early instrument making at The London College of Furniture in the late 1970s and were experimenting with making bagpipes. Jon developed his low D Flemish pipe after the paintings of Breugel, and his "English" bagpipe in G—a mouthblown pipe with two drones and his own design of chanter. At last there were reliable bagpipes on which to play English music! Since then, Jon has gone on to develop a range of highly sophisticated bagpipes based on the Border bagpipe. Their chanters are chromatic, with an extended range.
Blowzabella's sound was new and exciting and based firmly around the pipes and hurdy gurdy, taking much of their inspiration from the dance music of central France and adapting it to English music. They organized pipe and gurdy weekends in the 1980s which were joyous gatherings and the first chances for isolated pipers and other pipemakers to meet, compare pipes, and play together.
It was a very exciting time for me as I had begun to experiment with pipemaking in 1981 and became a professional maker in 1985. Since then I have developed a variety of different pipes. My first, developed with my brother John, was the Leicestershire smallpipe—a single drone instrument that can be mouth or bellows blown. The English Greatpipe is based on a 15th century manuscript illustration of the Miller from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. I based my Cornish double-chantered bagpipes on a fine carving in the church at Alternun, Bodmin Moor dated ca. 1510. This is typical of many early carvings of double-chantered pipes to be seen in churches throughout England [see article following]. My English double pipes are based on actual measurements in the Talbot manuscripts from the 1690s.
English pipers have been looking to European piping traditions for inspiration, rather than Scotland. A focus for the revival has been the England-based Bagpipe Society formed in 1985 for those with an interest in all types of bagpipes. Many of its members play English bagpipes. Some are playing the alluring dance music of central France, which has an unbroken tradition and lends itself perfectly to the pipes. Others are facing the challenge of trying to explore ways of playing English music. So much has been lost and needs to be rediscovered—or reinvented. Although our piping tradition is broken, there has long been a strong tradition of sophisticated instrumental variations in England. With the discovery and publication of the William Dixon manuscript of 1733, we now have proof that bagpipes were part of this tradition.
Today there is a variety of different English pipes available in a range of keys. There are pipers who play these solo or in groups, with or without other pipers, for early music, dance bands, morris dancing—even the outer reaches of techno music. But what is English pipe music? After a gap of 200 years without any musical development, some pipers are looking to the past whilst others are trying to create new English music for the pipes.
Two English bagpipe trios use strikingly different musical approaches. The Goodacre Brothers were formed in 1986 to play traditional and our own dance music, using various combinations of both small and great pipes. The history of the trio's instrumentation reflects the increasing variety of pipes that I have developed and our musical arrangements are essentially polyphonic. Jon Swayne's trio Moebius plays his compositions. His arrangements use sumptuous and sometimes extraordinary harmonies making the whole group sound like one instrument. He has gone on to expand this approach even further in Zephrus—a six-piece bagpipe group which performs a stunning suite of Jon's arrangements of the 17th century tune "Half Hannikin". And after all these years, Jon is still playing with Blowzabella.
The bagpipes are essentially a pastoral instrument which fell out of favour during the centuries of industrialization and urbanization. But now, in the late 20th century, we have post-industrial aspirations. The pastoral is once again desirable.
The English bagpipe revival is now well under way. For it to flourish, we must encourage the younger generation to play. I confidently expect this revival will not go the way I predict and I look forward with anticipation to the next 30 years.

Art Music? Traditional Music? Traditional Art Music?
by Jon Swayne
While Jon Swayne, his instruments and music are certainly not strangers to North Hero, 2001 was the first year for his ensemble, Moebius, to attend. As an introduction to the band and their music, Jon has been kind enough to discuss his approach to arranging music for multiple bagpipes.
In the early 90s, Don Ward, Judy Rockliff and myself met fairly regularly to try out stuff on three pipes. At that time we usually used two pipes in G and one in low D. Most of the harmonies were improvised, but I also began to write some simple arrangements. It all began to come together when I made a pipe in low C (a fairly uncommon pitch at that time) which gave us the interval of a fifth between the drones and was much more satisfying (see below). Then we got invited to perform at a bagpipe conference in Gijon in Asturias; we needed more repertoire in a hurry, so I started to develop some ideas I had had for some years about bagpipe harmonies. Soon after that we recorded a CD and began performing on a fairly regular basis. Judy dropped out because of illness around 5 years ago, and we were fortunate to be joined by David Faulkner, who learnt an extensive repertoire in an amazingly short time.
We often get asked what the name means. Well, August Moebius was a 19th century German mathematician who is best known for inventing a band or strip which is like a loop with a half twist. The result of the twist is that the strip only has one side and one edge. Or to put it another way, you can slide your finger over the whole of the surface without going over the edge. Such conundra appeal to the minds of me and Don, and it was just one of those ideas which came up when we were thinking of names for the group, and it stuck. If you like, you can also see some symbolic correspondence between a Moebius band and the music we play.
A large part of the reason why people like pipes is for the sound they make. (Come to think of it, if you ask people why they don't like pipes, it's usually because of the sound...) That might seem obvious, but especially with classical music, and to a lesser extent with other kinds, the sound, as sound, is usually supposed to be subservient to some higher cause, which is the music or the ideas which it is trying to express by means of melody, structure, etc. The fact that a bagpipe has a drone helps to give its music a timeless quality, so that what the music is trying to say is often less important than the state of mind it produces.
The result of three pipes playing in harmony together produces, I think, a kind of synthesis of both sides of the argument. On the one hand you have the feeling of timelessness induced by the drones; on the other, the harmonic possibilities offered by the three chanters against the drones enables a very powerful emotional and dramatic impact. When (as they should be) the pipes are perfectly in tune with each other, there is something immensely satisfying about the sound of the chords which can be produced, whether voluptuous or bleak.
I have been fascinated by the idea of bagpipes playing together in harmony ever since I first started playing pipes. In fact, on the very first record of Blowzabella (a band which I helped to start in 1979) there were some simple examples of tunes harmonized on 3 pipes, done by doubletracking since there were only two pipers in the group. A year or two after that I had the chance to try something slightly more adventurous with three pipes together at different pitches when with two other pipers, we improvised a three-part harmony version of some simple tunes on Galician Gaita in high D, cabrette in A, and Flemish pipe in low D.
It became clear that for a really satisfying sound and for flexibility and variety, pipes at two different pitches would give much more scope than simply two of the same. This is because the relative ranges of the instruments overlap. It also means that you have two different drone pitches happening. Assuming that the drones of both instruments are used, unless you are going for really weird effects, the choice of intervals between the two sets of drones boils down to two, the fourth and the fifth.
Both these intervals have their merits, but you only have to try it to come to the conclusion that the fifth is the more satisfying.
Except for the RWE (really weird effects) Proviso, both pipes must play in the same key. Each pipe on its own has a choice of two major keys, one based on the 6 finger note, the other on the 3 finger note. Therefore in the case of the fourth between drones, the upper pipe must play in its 6 finger key, the lower in its 3 finger key. The opposite applies when the interval between drones is the fifth. In this case the upper pipe plays in its 3 finger key, and the lower in its 6 finger key.
Fourth: Upper in A, lower in E: play in key of A.
Upper in G, lower in D: play in key of G, etc.
Fifth: Upper in A, lower in D: play in key of D.
Upper in G, lower in C: play in key of C, etc.
It's clear that some melodic freedom must be sacrificed if, as is usually the case, the upper pipe carries the tune. With the A/E or G/D combination, the tune must be a 6 finger tune for the upper pipe. In this case it is useful if the lower pipe is able to overblow, in order to extend the shared scale up by a fourth. With the A/D or G/C combination, the tune must be a 3 finger one for the upper pipe, and here it is useful if the upper pipe can overblow. A further implication is that in the A/E or G/D combination (drones at fourth), the lower pipe, which is playing in its 3 finger key, should be able to play a flattened seventh relative to its 6 finger tonic, since this is the fourth degree of the scale in the 3 finger key. Conversely, in the A/D or G/C combination (drones at fifth), this applies to the upper pipe. Depending on the demands of the music, in the A/E or G/D combination the upper pipe may need a sharp seventh. In the A/D or G/C combination, it's desirable for the lower instrument to be able to play a sharp seventh since it corresponds to the major third of the 6 finger scale of the upper (which becomes the sharpened leading-note of the 3 finger scale).
All the above is quite difficult to visualise from words, and there are other more complicated implications, but once you try things out in practice it becomes clear and obvious.
In order to fill out simple harmonies, or to make more advanced ones possible, you can add a third instrument. It usually seems better to double the upper one than the lower, though this is not the only possibility. You could for example use an EAE, DAD, DGD, CGC, CFC, etc combination. However, depending on its design the high pipe could be rather piercing and tiring for extended listening, and would be better balanced by a larger ensemble underneath it. AAD, GGC is more mellow.
Provided that the drone/chanter balance of each individual instrument is appropriate, there won't be an impression of excessive drones when all instruments are playing.
Writing harmonies for any combination is really a matter of experiment to see what works best. In writing for Moebius, I use a variety of means, from the simplest — pencil, paper and head — through keyboard, computer sequencer to multi-track recorder. If you have trouble hearing harmonies internally (which I do, unless they are relatively simple ones), a keyboard is probably the quickest way to check ideas. With the left hand play a fifth or fourth as appropriate at the pitch of the bass drones, and in the right hand play the three chanter notes. (If you are using a synthesiser you can use weights or wedges to keep the drone notes down.) Of course, you can also improvise harmonies on the three pipes in real time, but in my experience it is difficult and time consuming to arrive at harmonies other than tonic, dominant and sub-dominant triads. A keyboard allows you to visualise and experiment with possibilities much more easily. As far as I am concerned, anything goes, provided that within the harmonic direction of the piece, it goes with the drones.
Everyone knows that a badly tuned bagpipe sounds horrible. This is even more true of bagpipe harmony groups, so it goes without saying that the greatest possible attention must be paid to accurate adjustment of the pipes, not only before starting, but also as the piece progresses if necessary by adjusting pressure in response to the needs of the harmony. It's worth bearing in mind too that PA seems to exaggerate any mistuning.
I would encourage anyone who hasn't tried bagpipe harmony playing in whatever combination to do so. It can be enormously satisfying. It's probably best to start with pieces that are not too technically demanding, and to concentrate on accurate tuning and getting a beautiful sound.
It's not too easy to find music which is suitable for harmonising for three pipes, which is why I decided to write all the music for Moebius. "How can this be folk music?" I hear you ask. Well, I don't see why it should be, or why it can't be. Most of the pieces we play are based on traditional dance forms such as waltz, polka, hornpipe, bourrée, etc. On the other hand, I have taken the opportunity to do something a little more experimental from time to time, such as exploring the effect of changing harmonies without much melodic focus, or extending the structure beyond the 8 bar repeated form.
Recently I've been writing music for 6 pipes (at 3 different pitches) and percussion, but that's another story.

Lesson 9: You're Responsible for Your Life
October 20, 2011
Tonight's topic is about taking control of your job, your relationships, and your future. Plus, how you can use this principle to re-boot your life. These workbook questions were curated by Martha Beck. The goal is to continue the conversation and go deeper into the lesson. Your answers are private, no one else can see them.
If the person you admire most advised you about your life, what advice would he or she give?
If that person woke up in the same situation as you are in now, what would he or she do?
What small thing could you do today to improve your home, your job, your health or your relationship?
Where are you relying on someone who isn't dependable? Why are you counting on them and not you to make a change in your life?
What energy are you putting out? What attitude or actions are showing others who you are—is it the person who want to be?
We can know things energetically even without knowing them consciously. What "flavor" of energy are you broadcasting to the world—tense, accepting, anxious, bubbly? If you don't know, ask your friends and family.
Are there people who are in your life simply because you feel obliged to humor them? People who don't support you, who drain you, or who you sense aren't generating good energy for you or themselves?
Where do you feel buried beneath a wall of problems? Where can you see a tiny crack in the wall—a small success, someone who encourages you, or moments of feeling blessed? List 10 things that support you.
Where are you giving people power over your life and choices? Where are you asking for others to solve your problems, as opposed to supporting you as you solve them yourself?

Sudan and South Sudan Food and Drink Report Q4 2012
Report description
South Sudan is capturing the attention of a number of food and drink companies in the beer, soft drink and retail spaces. The referendum held in South Sudan over secession from Khartoum earlier in 2011 became reality on July 9. The separation of powers and the formation of an independent state will have profound implications spanning the political, economic and social divide. For Juba, South Sudan's capital, succession is somewhat of a coup given that around three-quarters of Sudan's oil output is produced in South Sudan.
The South, which can lay claim to about three quarters of Sudan's oil output, is going to try and attract investment into its non-oil economy over the next few years. We are already seeing interest with the announcement that the Kenyan food retailer Uchumi is planning to launch a store in Juba and may be followed by some of its regional rivals in the future. While there is certainly a lot of room for growth in organised retailing, we believe the most exciting opportunities from a food and drink point of view will lie in beer and soft drinks. Meanwhile, the North will also continue to hold appeal over the long term. ?? Per capita food consumption is forecast to increase by 25.8% in 2012. To 2016, we forecast a compound annual growth of 17.2%. ?? Mass grocery retail sales are forecast to increase by 29.6% in 2012. To 2016, we forecast compound annual growth of 20.7%.
