Part of the BlackRock CollegeAdvantage 529 Plan
The investment objective of the BlackRock CollegeAdvantage Moderate Portfolio Option is to seek a balance between long term capital appreciation and high current income, with a greater emphasis on capital appreciation.

Therefore, based on atarget equity/fixed income allocation of 60%/40%, the BlackRock CollegeAdvantage Moderate Portfolio Option may have an equity/fixed income allocation that ranges from 70%/30% to 50%/50%.

text: Through the decades, the mighty polka dot has fallen in and out of fashion favor. The dot has made its way back in this year, as singers, actresses, Michelle Obama, sports stars, and even cartoons, flaunt the look . Most recently, there's been a frenzy over Taylor Swift's red polka-dotted bikini that she's been wearing around Cape Cod this summer. Meanwhile, Katy Perry's fashion interpretations never fail to raise eyebrows, and the celebrities of yesteryear who rocked early polka dots made the look famous: Think Marilyn Monroe's character in the 1955 film "The Seven Year Itch" and the real-life Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis vacationing in Italy in 1962.

There is a multitude of starters and snacks that are already suitable for vegans or can be quickly adapted. Try asparagus tips with olive oil, aubergine stacks and melon balls. Soups, dips, pâtés and finger food are explained in more detail below.
Soups, along with sauces and gravies, are perhaps the easiest dishes to adapt. If the soup contains butter or cream this can be replaced with olive oil, vegan margarine and/or dairy-free cream. Choose a vegan vegetable stock or bouillon from these suppliers, or better still make your own.
Try pea and mint, roasted tomato and basil, corn and chickpea chowder, carrot and orange, curried apple, cauliflower and almond or leek, lime and coconut.
Choose from the following or invent your own: lentil, wine and walnut, ginger-roasted vegetables, chestnut and cranberry, tomato and olive, tikka vegetable, avocado and roasted pepper, cashew and fresh herb, broccoli with lemon and cumin.
Dips and pâtés can be served with vegetable crudit's, strips of fruit, potato wedges, tortilla chips, curly toasts, garlic bread or baked fingers of smoked tofu.
Finger foods such as vegan sausage rolls, mini-pizzas and stuffed vine leaves are perfect for buffets and parties and served as a starter or snack. Other examples are samosas, spring rolls, marinated fruit and vegetable kebabs, melon segments, vol-au-vents and veg sushi.

Nielsen to roll out Twitter ratings for TV shows on Monday
Television networks have been tapping Twitter hashtags for a couple of years to drum up more buzz for their programs. But shows with the greatest Twitter activity do not always correlate to programs with the highest ratings, according new Nielsen data, cited by the the Wall Street Journal.
That is one of the takeaways from data that Nielsen will begin publishing Monday, ranking shows with the greatest traction on the microblogging social network. The goal of the "Nielsen Twitter TV Ranking," which the companies announced last December, will be to measure the unique audience viewing tweets about individual … Read more

WRAL recently did a piece on Hurricane Sandy-sodden cars flooding the market. To watch the video, click on the image below.
Legislation that exempts newer passenger vehicles from emissions inspections may reach more cars than originally anticipated, potentially costing the state millions of dollars in revenue and threatening its compliance with federal regulations. The measure, rewritten and approved by senators in the early-morning hours of the last day of the legislative session, was signed into law by Gov. Beverly Perdue last week. It exempts vehicles three years old and newer from annual checks designed to fight air pollution. But it might also exempt other vehicles with fewer than 70,000 miles that were built after 1996 – more than tripling the number of affected vehicles. Johanna Reese, deputy commissioner of the state Division of Motor Vehicles, called the Legislature's decision "unexpected."
A lobby group that opposed the bill said the confusion is the result of forcing the measure through in the waning hours of the legislative session. "I think that the legislators that wrote this and passed this, along with the governor, they did it very quickly without any thought process," said Robert Pulverenti, executive director of Independent Garage Owners of North Carolina, a group that opposed the bill. Pulverenti worries the anticipated reduction in the number of inspected cars could jeopardize federal approval for air quality. "It's been interpreted by most that any vehicle with less than 70,000 miles on the odometer will be effected," said Pulverenti. "There's a good chance that now the state of North Carolina is not going to meet air quality standards." More vehicles on the roads without emission checks affect the state's attempts to meet Environmental Protection Agency air quality benchmarks. It also results in less revenue for state programs, which receive funds from inspection fees and had been expected to see a reduction of more than $2.3 million. Vehicle owners allowed to forego the emission inspections would save $16.40 annually.
The new law reads that a motor vehicle is subject to an emissions inspection if "it is a 1996 or later model and older than the three most recent model years or a 1996 or later model and has 70,000 miles or more on its odometer." The Division of Air Quality was preparing for the last-minute legislative change to apply to 1.7 million vehicles, not the slightly more than 500,000 vehicles it previously estimated, said spokesman Tom Mather. The agency changed its position after questions Friday from The Associated Press. It now is preparing to exempt vehicles less than three years old that haven't topped 70,000 miles, Mather said. "In our defense, the language in the bill is easy to misinterpret the way it is worded," Mather wrote in an email. The law takes effect in 2014. Under the current regulations, emission inspections are mandatory for applicable vehicles in 48 of North Carolina's 100 counties, Mather said. Cars manufactured from 1996 to the factory year before last are required to have mandatory emission checks, he said.
Sen. Stan Bingham, R-Davidson, has worked for years to exempt newer, cleaner vehicles from emissions testing. The language involving vehicles with fewer than 70,000 miles was added by a negotiating committee formed on July 2. The Senate approved the reworked version at 12:37 a.m. on July 3. The General Assembly adjourned hours later. Bingham said the intent of the mileage provision was to require that cars that are less than three years old but with more than 70,000 miles be required to have emission checks, not to increase the number avoiding the checkups. He wasn't aware that the state agencies were conflicted. "It concerns me a great deal because it could make the bill fail," Bingham said of the EPA uncertainty. "It's a concern of mine because my initial intent was that this is a common sense bill to save taxpayers money."(Allen Reed, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, 8/03/12).
Blythewood, SC – Beginning May 1, 2012, the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) will no longer accept Form 450, Satisfaction of Lien, to remove a lien from a title record. The form will no longer be available on the agency website, through the warehouse or in DMV offices as of April 2, 2012.
"We've seen an increased number of fraud attempts using Form 450 during the past few months," said Vehicle Services Director Lotte Devlin. "The form isn't a secure way to prove the satisfaction of a lien and we want to do all we can to maintain the integrity of the process."
To remove a lien from the title record, lien holders may release the lien electronically on electronic titles, complete the lien release on the front of the title document or submit a letter on company letterhead. Lien holders that choose to submit a letter should include the following information:

"Car Men" details the touching and occasionally hilarious story of how the Myers men created a car business that's known all across America for its successful out-of-the-box thinking – not to mention its off-kilter TV commercials, featuring such quirky characters as Uncle Frank and Chainsaw Charlie.
And just announced! The Winston Salem ABC affiliate, ABC45, and the Winston Salem My TV affiliate, My48, have both agreed to show the television edition of the film "Car Men".
The schedule is as follows:

The automobile is a very important means of transportation for every American. Statistics show that only about 40 percent of Americans can afford to buy a new car to serve their transportation needs. Many people find used cars to be an excellent value, providing quality transportation at a price that can be easily afforded. With sales of more than 41 million used cars a year totaling some $361 billion, there's no question that a used car has value. (Read More)

Press ReleaseAlabama Record Posted for Alligator GarJanuary 18, 2005 A new Gars are a primitive group of fish that use their gills, but they also take in atmospheric air. Boaters often see these relatively large fish gulping air on the water's surface. Gars, along with bowfins, have ganoid scales—rough, primitive scales made of bone and an enamel-like substance. Another characteristic of gars is that their eggs are toxic. Alligator gars are found on the coastal plain of Alabama, and the family includes two other species found throughout Houseknecht used fresh whole mullet as bait to catch his Alligator gar fishing is popular with Mobile Delta anglers because of the fish's large size.

The Kiss Precise:
Beautiful, Pat! I can always count on you for a detailed history lesson!
Maybe I should have posted osculating circle problems on 2-14...
I was attempting to concretize the problem by placing wheels on concrete to entice the student to give it a 'whirl'. Just my little spin on the problem...
"And the world goes round and round and round in the circle game"
It solved it using pythagorean theorem, but doing so lead me to believe that there was a more efficient way to do it.
Trig functions, not Pythagorean theorem...
I'm spending WAY too much time teaching addition...
I also find that trig often helps but I too will get that annoying feeling that Euclid is turning over in his ____.
Anyway, one can use Pyth to show that the length of the common tang segm for 2 ext tang circles is 2√(Rr). This allows us to set up an eqn for the middle radius.
BTW, send me an email and bring me up to date on your life. I can tell there have been many changes...
This problem is a Ford circle:
1/SQROOT(Rmid) = 1/SQROOT(Rleft) + 1/SQROOT(Rright)
Rleft = 4
Rright = 9
Rmid = 36/25 = 1.44
and hence the diameter is 2.88
How did Ford circle equation come about? Can others post their solution(s)?
Thanks, Ed! These geom problems of antiquity continue to provide a treasure trove of problems for teachers. Even more intriguing is the Apollonian Gasket in which the 3 circles are tangent to a common circle, leading to a famous fractal.
Let R3 denote the rad of middle circle.
As I indicated to Justin, length of common tang segm for circles with radii R1 and R3 can be shown in a separate derivation to be 2√(R1•R3). Similarly, length of tang segm for circles R3 and R2 is 2√(R2•R3). Thus, 2√(R1•R3) + 2√(R2•R3) = 2√(R1•R2)
Now divide both sides by 2√(R1•R2•R3) to obtain the Ford equation.
Keep sharing your knowledge and ideas!

A 63-year-old man was arrested Thursday and charged with four counts of lewd and lascivious behavior and two counts of showing obscene material to minors for allegedly showing underage boys pornography in his home west of Boca Raton.
According to the Sheriff's Office:
Gary Sicurella Sr.'s four victims ranged in age from 10 to 13. They stayed overnight at his home and while there, watched porn and masturbated with Sicurella present. Sicurella also touched himself and the boys. He told the boys his home on the 10000 block of North Branch Road was a "safe house" and not to tell anyone what they were doing.
One of the victim's family members called deputies when she found out the victim was not spending the night with a school friend, but instead with a man in his 60s.

Keys are heavyPros: Great price for a mechanical keyboard. Cons: Cherry Mx black keys. The reason i listed this twice is because its sheer opinion. I personally dislike the MX Blacks for gaming. Especially shooters, my pinky gets fatigued within ten minutes of gameplay from holding the shift key. Other Thoughts: Weird layout with small backspace, takes some getting used to. Might go with a cherry mx red or brown keyboard instead. Did you find this review helpful? |
It was cheapPros: Cheap cherry mx black keyboard Cons: Non standard lay out, so it takes sometime to get use to it. doesn't use standard keys sizes. It will be hard to replace keys. Very cheap keycaps, space bar cracked on one side with I removed it. Doesn't come with extras like most mechanical keyboards like extra keys and a key puller Other Thoughts: This will be my backup keyboard. I would recommend spending a little more money and getting something from cooler master Did you find this review helpful? |
awesome keyboardPros: -Black switches are great very responsive Cons: only con i really see so far is the weird layout but im already starting to get use to it so i guess its a con til you get use to it Other Thoughts: i got thisa keyboard for 50 bucks for my birthday so far its awesome i really am enjoying the black switches would recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for a entry level keyboard Did you find this review helpful? |
weird layoutPros: -cherry mx black real quite Cons: -layout is really weird hard to get used to it Other Thoughts: return it after feeling really unease but still give it 4 egg cause its really cheap for a mechanical keyboard bought a cm storm tk red switch :) Did you find this review helpful? |
Good buy overallPros: Black Switches. Feels good. Sturdy while it sits on the desk Cons: The keyboard is smaller than it looks. Also as others have mentioned, the keyboard layout will take some time to get use to. Did you find this review helpful? |
First impressionPros: This thing is built like a tank. Cons: keys are a bit small, specially the "backspace" key, will take some time to get use to . Other Thoughts: if you have fat fingers, consider going for a regular side keyboard. Did you find this review helpful? |
Smaller then expectedPros: It's Compact design is geat especially for those of us with massive mouse pads. The cable is thick and durable so for the few of us who still goto and throw lan parties this is great because you wont have to worry about the cable being worn down over time or setting something on it and it cutting through it easily. Cons: The only real con i had with this keyboard was it took me a while to get use to it after using bigger keyboards but now that i have given it time its great so not really a con. Other Thoughts: I liked the feel of the blue switches in the blackwidow better but mine wore out after only a year and this thing still works like new. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great for gaming, not so great for typingPros: - Very solid construction Cons: - Super bright LEDs for lock keys Other Thoughts: This keyboard is a great buy if you're looking for a keyboard solely for gaming. Its only problem is the odd layout of the question mark key and the shortened backspace - it may sound minor but typing papers on this is a nightmare. Just know what you want this for before you buy it Did you find this review helpful? |
Awesome valuw mech keyboardPros: Good value, great quality very sturdy, cherry mx black keys allow it to be one of the quieter gaming mech keyboards, much cheaper than most other mech keyboards Cons: price went to $59.99 with instant savings after i already bought it with rebate that i didnt end up sending in :( but it is a great value for the price Other Thoughts: would buy again Did you find this review helpful? |
Pretty good for midrangePros: Sturdy construction. Rubber feet don't allow the keyboard to slide at all (even on my glass desk). Has USB inputs on the back to plug any device you want. Comes with gold plated USB connector and ps2 attachment. Has anti ghosting and n key rollover technology. Has a very thick cord with a strap to provide support (because it is so heavy). Cherry Black MX switches (best switches for gaming but need the most pressure to actuate). Good for people who hit a wrong key sometimes while gaming and is good for when you double tap the same keys often. Fully mechanical and compact design (excludes windows buttons). Now I can fit my keyboard and mouse on the desk's slide out tray. Cons: The compact design makes for some odd placement of the backspace, arrow keys and right side shift buttons. I find myself hitting the arrow keys when I want to hit shift. The keys feel a lot better than just a standard keyboard, but probably not as good as very high end mechanical boards. Because they are cherry black switches they don't feel as good to type on, and they don't make a sound that is reminiscent of a mechanical keyboard. There aren't extra buttons for macros...even though I don't use them anyways. Other Thoughts: My first mechanical keyboard. Did quite a bit of research on the boards, but found one for a deal elsewhere. 95% of the time I just buy from Newegg though. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Although the use of Csound real-time has become more prevalent and arguably more important whilst the use if the score has diminished and become less important, composing using score events within the Csound score remains an important bedrock to working with Csound. There are many methods for writing Csound score several of which are covered here, starting with the classical method of writing scores by hand, and concluding with the definition of a user-defined score language.
Writing Score by Hand
In Csound's original incarnation the orchestra and score existed as separate text files. This arrangement existed partly in an attempt to appeal to composers who had come from a background of writing for conventional instruments by providing a more familiar paradigm. The three unavoidable attributes of a note event - which instrument plays it, when, and for how long - were hardwired into the structure of a note event through its first three attributes or 'p-fields'. All additional attributes (p4 and beyond), for example: dynamic, pitch, timbre, were left to the discretion of the composer, much as they would be when writing for conventional instruments. It is often overlooked that when writing score events in Csound we define start times and durations in 'beats'. It just so happens that 1 beat defaults to a duration of 1 second leading to the consequence that many Csound users spend years thinking that they are specifying note events in terms of seconds rather than beats. This default setting can easily be modified and manipulated as shown later on.
The most basic score event as described above might be something like this:
i 1 0 5
which would demand that instrument number '1' play a note at time zero (beats) for 5 beats. After time of constructing a score in this manner it quickly becomes apparent that certain patterns and repetitions recur. Frequently a single instrument will be called repeatedly to play the notes that form a longer phrase therefore diminishing the worth of repeatedly typing the same instrument number for p1, an instrument may play a long sequence of notes of the same duration as in a phrase of running semiquavers rendering the task of inputting the same value for p3 over and over again slightly tedious and often a note will follow on immediately after the previous one as in a legato phrase intimating that the p2 start-time of that note might better be derived from the duration and start-time of the previous note by the computer than to be figured out by the composer. Inevitably short-cuts were added to the syntax to simplify these kinds of tasks:
i 1 0 1 60 i 1 1 1 61 i 1 2 1 62 i 1 3 1 63 i 1 4 1 64
could now be expressed as:
i 1 0 1 60 i . + 1 > i . + 1 > i . + 1 > i . + 1 64
where '.' would indicate that that p-field would reuse the same p-field value from the previous score event, where '+', unique for p2, would indicate that the start time would follow on immediately after the previous note had ended and '>' would create a linear ramp from the first explicitly defined value (60) to the next explicitly defined value (64) in that p-field column (p4).
A more recent refinement of the p2 shortcut allows for staccato notes where the rhythm and timing remain unaffected. Each note lasts for 1/10 of a beat and each follows one second after the previous.
i 1 0 .1 60 i . ^+1 . > i . ^+1 . > i . ^+1 . > i . ^+1 . 64
The benefits offered by these short cuts quickly becomes apparent when working on longer scores. In particular the editing of critical values once, rather than many times is soon appreciated.
Taking a step further back, a myriad of score tools, mostly also identified by a single letter, exist to manipulate entire sections of score. As previously mentioned Csound defaults to giving each beat a duration of 1 second which corresponds to this 't' statement at the beginning of a score:
t 0 60
"At time (beat) zero set tempo to 60 beats per minute"; but this could easily be anything else or evena string of tempo change events following the format of a linsegb statement.
t 0 120 5 120 5 90 10 60
This time tempo begins at 120bpm and remains steady until the 5th beat, whereupon there is an immediate change to 90bpm; thereafter the tempo declines in linear fashion until the 10th beat when the tempo has reached 60bpm.
'm' statements allow us to define sections of the score that might be repeated ('s' statements marking the end of that section). 'n' statements referencing the name given to the original 'm' statement via their first parameter field will call for a repetition of that section.
m verse i 1 0 1 60 i . ^+1 . > i . ^+1 . > i . ^+1 . > i . ^+1 . 64 s n verse n verse n verse
Here a 'verse' section is first defined using an 'm' section (the section is also played at this stage). 's' marks the end of the section definition and 'n' recalls this section three more times.
Just a selection of the techniques and shortcuts available for hand-writing scores have been introduced here (refer to the Csound Reference Manual for a more encyclopedic overview). It has hopefully become clear however that with a full knowledge and implementation of these techniques the user can adeptly and efficiently write and manipulate scores by hand.
Extension of the Score Language: bin="..."
It is possible to pass the score as written through a pre-processor before it is used by Csound to play notes. instead it can be first interpretted by a binary (application), which produces a usual csound score as a result. This is done by the statement bin="..." in the <CsScore> tag. What happens?
- If just a binary is specified, this binary is called and two files are passed to it:
- A copy of the user written score. This file has the suffix .ext
- An empty file which will be read after the interpretation by Csound. This file has the usual score suffix .sco
- If a binary and a script is specified, the binary calls the script and passes the two files to the script.
If you have Python1 installed on your computer, you should be able to run the following examples. They do actually nothing but print the arguments (= file names).
Calling a binary without a script
EXAMPLE Score_methods_01.csd
<CsoundSynthesizer> <CsInstruments> instr 1 endin </CsInstruments> <CsScore bin="python"> from sys import argv print "File to read = '%s'" % argv[0] print "File to write = '%s'" % argv[1] </CsScore> </CsoundSynthesizer>
When you execute this .csd file in the terminal, your output should include something like this:
File to read = '/tmp/csound-idWDwO.ext'
File to write = '/tmp/csound-EdvgYC.sco'
And there should be a complaint because the empty .sco file has not been written:
cannot open scorefile /tmp/csound-EdvgYC.sco
Calling a binary and a script
To test this, first save this file as print.py in the same folder where your .csd examples are:
from sys import argv print "Script = '%s'" % argv[0] print "File to read = '%s'" % argv[1] print "File to write = '%s'" % argv[2]
Then run this csd:
EXAMPLE Score_methods_02.csd
<CsoundSynthesizer> <CsInstruments> instr 1 endin </CsInstruments> <CsScore bin="python print.py"> </CsScore> </CsoundSynthesizer>
The output should include these lines:
Script = 'print.py'
File to read = '/tmp/csound-jwZ9Uy.ext'
File to write = '/tmp/csound-NbMTfJ.sco'
And again a complaint about the invalid score file:
cannot open scorefile /tmp/csound-NbMTfJ.sco
As an alternative to the classical Csound score, Csbeats is included with Csound. This is a domain specific language tailored to the concepts of beats, rhythm and standard western notation. To use Csbeat, specify "csbeats" as the CsScore bin option in a Csound unified score file.
<CsScore bin="csbeats">
For more information, refer to the Csound Manual. Csbeats is written by Brian Baugn.
Scripting Language Examples
The following script uses a perl script to allow seeding options in the score. A random seed can be set as a comment; like ";;SEED 123". If no seed has been set, the current system clock is used. So there will be a different value for the first three random statements, while the last two statements will always generate the same values.
EXAMPLE Score_methods_03.csd
<CsoundSynthesizer> <CsInstruments> ;example by tito latini instr 1 prints "amp = %f, freq = %f\n", p4, p5; endin </CsInstruments> <CsScore bin="perl cs_sco_rand.pl"> i1 0 .01 rand() [200 + rand(30)] i1 + . rand() [400 + rand(80)] i1 + . rand() [600 + rand(160)] ;; SEED 123 i1 + . rand() [750 + rand(200)] i1 + . rand() [210 + rand(20)] e </CsScore> </CsoundSynthesizer> # cs_sco_rand.pl my ($in, $out) = @ARGV; open(EXT, "<", $in); open(SCO, ">", $out); while (<EXT>) { s/SEED\s+(\d+)/srand();$&/e; s/rand\(\d*\)/eval $&/ge; print SCO; }
Pysco is a modular Csound score environment for event generation, event processing, and the fashioning musical structures in time. Pysco is non-imposing and does not force composers into any one particular compositional model; Composers design their own score frameworks by importing from existing Python libraries, or fabricate their own functions as needed. It fully supports the existing classical Csound score, and runs inside a unified CSD file.
Pysco is designed to be a giant leap forward from the classical Csound score by leveraging Python, a highly extensible general-purpose scripting language. While the classical Csound score does feature a small handful of score tricks, it lacks common computer programming paradigms, offering little in terms of alleviating the tedious process of writing scores by hand. Python plus the Pysco interface transforms the limited classical score into highly flexible and modular text-based compositional environment.
Transitioning away from the Classical Csound Score
Composers concerned about transitioning from the classical Csound score into this new environment should fear not. Only two changes are necessary to get started. First, the optional bin argument for the CsScore tag needs to specify "python pysco.py"2 . Second, all existing classical Csound score code works when placed inside the score() function.
<CsScore bin="python pysco.py"> score(''' f 1 0 8192 10 1 t 0 144 i 1 0.0 1.0 0.7 8.02 i 1 1.0 1.5 0.4 8.05 i 1 2.5 0.5 0.3 8.09 i 1 3.0 1.0 0.4 9.00 ''') </CsScore>
Boiler plate code that is often associated with scripting and scoring, such as file management and string concatenation, has been conveniently factored out.
The last step in transitioning is to learn a few of Python or Pysco features. While Pysco and Python offers an incredibly vast set of tools and features, one can supercharge their scores with only a small handful.
Managing Time with the cue()
The cue() object is Pysco context manager for controlling and manipulating time in a score. Time is a fundamental concept in music, and the cue() object elevates the role of time to that of other control such as if and for statements, synthesizing time into the form of the code.
In the classical Csound score model, there is only the concept of beats. This forces composers to place events into the global timeline, which requires an extra added incovenience of calculating start times for individual events. Consider the following code in which measure 1 starts at time 0.0 and measure 2 starts at time 4.0.
; Measure 1 i 1 0.0 1.0 0.7 8.02 i 1 1.0 1.5 0.4 8.05 i 1 2.5 0.5 0.3 8.09 i 1 3.0 1.0 0.4 9.00 ; Measure 2 i 1 4.0 1.0 0.7 8.07 i 1 5.0 1.5 0.4 8.10 i 1 6.5 0.5 0.3 9.02 i 1 7.0 1.0 0.4 9.07
In an ideal situation, the start times for each measure would be normalized to zero, allowing composers to think local to the current measure rather than the global timeline. This is the role of Pysco's cue() context manager. The same two measures in Pysco are rewritten as follows:
# Measure 1 with cue(0): score(''' i 1 0.0 1.0 0.7 8.02 i 1 1.0 1.5 0.4 8.05 i 1 2.5 0.5 0.3 8.09 i 1 3.0 1.0 0.4 9.00 ''') # Measure 2 with cue(4): score(''' i 1 0.0 1.0 0.7 8.07 i 1 1.0 1.5 0.4 8.10 i 1 2.5 0.5 0.3 9.02 i 1 3.0 1.0 0.4 9.07 ''')
The start of measure 2 is now 0.0, as opposed to 4.0 in the classical score environment. The physical layout of these time-based block structure also adds visual cues for the composer, as indentation and "with cue()" statements adds clarity when scanning a score for a particular event.
Moving events in time, regardless of how many there are, is nearly effortless. In the classical score, this often involves manually recalculating entire columns of start times. Since the cue() supports nesting, it's possible and rather quite easy, to move these two measures any where in the score with a new "with cue()" statement.
# Movement 2 with cue(330): # Measure 1 with cue(0): i 1 0.0 1.0 0.7 8.02 i 1 1.0 1.5 0.4 8.05 i 1 2.5 0.5 0.3 8.09 i 1 3.0 1.0 0.4 9.00 #Measure 2 with cue(4): i 1 0.0 1.0 0.7 8.07 i 1 1.0 1.5 0.4 8.10 i 1 2.5 0.5 0.3 9.02 i 1 3.0 1.0 0.4 9.07
These two measures now start at beat 330 in the piece. With the exception of adding an extra level of indentation, the score code for these two measures are unchanged.
Generating Events
Pysco includes two functions for generating a Csound score event. The score() function simply accepts any and all classical Csound score events as a string. The second is event_i(), which generates a properly formatted Csound score event. Take the following Pysco event for example:
event_i(1, 0, 1.5, 0.707 8.02)
The event_i() function transforms the input, outputting the following Csound score code:
i 1 0 1.5 0.707 8.02
These event score functions combined with Python's extensive set of features aid in generating multiple events. The following example uses three of these features: the for statement, range(), and random().
from random import random score('t 0 160') for time in range(8): with cue(time): frequency = 100 + random() * 900 event_i(1, 0, 1, 0.707, frequency)
Python's for statement combined with range() loops through the proceeding code block eight times by iterating through the list of values created with the range() function. The list generated by range(8) is:
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
As the script iterates through the list, variable time assumes the next value in the list; The time variable is also the start time of each event. A hint of algorithmic flair is added by importing the random() function from Python's random library and using it to create a random frequency between 100 and 1000 Hz. The script produces this classical Csound score:
t 0 160 i 1 0 1 0.707 211.936363038 i 1 1 1 0.707 206.021046104 i 1 2 1 0.707 587.07781543 i 1 3 1 0.707 265.13585797 i 1 4 1 0.707 124.548796225 i 1 5 1 0.707 288.184408335 i 1 6 1 0.707 396.36805871 i 1 7 1 0.707 859.030151952
Processing Events
Pysco includes two functions for processing score event data called p_callback() and pmap(). The p_callback() is a pre-processor that changes event data before it's inserted into the score object while pmap() is a post-processor that transforms event data that already exists in the score.
p_callback(event_type, instr_number, pfield, function, *args) pmap(event_type, instr_number, pfield, function, *args)
The following examples demonstrates a use case for both functions. The p_callback() function pre-processes all the values in the pfield 5 column for instrument 1 from conventional notation (D5, G4, A4, etc) to hertz. The pmap() post-processes all pfield 4 values for instrument 1, converting from decibels to standard amplitudes.
p_callback('i', 1, 5, conv_to_hz)
t 0 120
i 1 0 0.5 -3 D5
i 1 + . . G4
i 1 + . . A4
i 1 + . . B4
i 1 + . . C5
i 1 + . . A4
i 1 + . . B4
i 1 + . . G5
pmap('i', 1, 4, dB)
The final output is:
f 1 0 8192 10 1 t 0 120 i 1 0 0.5 0.707945784384 587.329535835 i 1 + . . 391.995435982 i 1 + . . 440.0 i 1 + . . 493.883301256 i 1 + . . 523.251130601 i 1 + . . 440.0 i 1 + . . 493.883301256 i 1 + . . 783.990871963

* NOTE: Certificates of Excellence are not necessarily designed to serve as stand-alone vocational training and may not prepare you for gainful employment if taken independently of a diploma or degree program.
What Is Traditional Reiki?
The term "Reiki" is a combination of two Japanese characters – Rei which means "spiritual" or "sacred" and Ki which means "energy." In the West, Reiki is most often described as universal life force energy – an unseen force that gives us life and flows through us. Furthermore, it is believed that when this life force energy is low or depleted, we are more likely to suffer stress and dis-ease. When it is high, we are more likely to be joyful and healthy. Reiki is administered by a "laying on of hands" and can have remarkable healing effects. A treatment may feel like a warm, glowing radiance flowing through and around you.
Although Reiki training involves learning symbols and techniques, the healing ability itself is not "taught" in the usual sense. It is transferred to the student by a Reiki Master during an "attunement," allowing the student to tap into the unlimited supply of universal life force energy.
SWIHA offers both Traditional and Transformational Reiki programs. Traditional Reiki is based on traditions that have been handed down for generations. Transformational Reiki is a newly evolved way of teaching this healing art, incorporating an awareness of elements from Native American and world ceremonies into the student's training. Transformational Reiki includes sounding, chanting and accelerated revelation of the sacred symbols.

In the garden: one old threat, one new one
Plattsburgh, NY, Jun 14, 2010 — A new threat to the onion family: leek moth. The moths are familiar to gardeners across the border in Ontario and Quebec, but were only reported in this country last summer, in Plattsburgh. In their weekly conversation, Cooperative Extension horticulturist Amy Ivy tells Martha Foley what home gardeners should look for. Plus a reminder to dig up and safely dispose of "volunteer" potatoes...growing from the remnants of last year late blight-infected crop.

Great weather for an Adams climb. After camping below timberline, we skinned up to just below the false summit. We ditched our skis and climbed the rest of the way to the top where we rested and admired the great views all around. We strapped our skis back on at the false summit and descended the SW chutes - a very fun 3000' drop. At the bottom we traversed below some rocky ridges and then back east to our campsite. Great skiing for the last day of spring! | ||

This was my first serious solo mountain (well, it certainly felt serious at the time) and was my farewell to Washington (I moved to Colorado the next day). It was immediately after a big late-spring storm, and I had to hike in four extra miles as the road to Cold Springs campground was still snow-closed. I hauled my three-man tent up to Crescent Glacier's terminal moraine (what I remember as a high mound of rocks at its foot, in any case); pitching it (the tent, that is, not the glacier) on my own in a gale turned out to be the crux of the trip. The next day brought great views down and around the mountain and a lenticular cloud sitting on top: I didn't know enough to be intimidated by it, so I pushed on upwards, into its white-out. I did know enough, however, to take back-bearings as I crossed the summit block blind. The only person I saw all day joined me on the summit and then skied down. I enjoyed the Mother of all Glissades back down to the Lunch Counter, where I congratulated myself on a job well jobbed. | ||

Ski ascent via South side and descent via SW Chutes (June 20, 2004) On the first day we were greeted by thunderstorms and rain so decided to camp low to be less exposed to weather and to stay on dry ground. The next morning woke up at 3am to a perfect clear morning. Strapped on the skis and skins and started from about 6500'. The firm snow on the south side route allowed us to skin just couple hunderd feet short of the false summit. Made a quick trip to the summit and enjoyed the views and sun for a long time as the wind was much less compared to false summit. We decided to ski down the SW chutes instead of the south side. From the top of the chute could not see the bottom, must be steep... Indeed the chute was around 40 degrees consistent all the way to the end of it. The snow was soft enough providing an excellent ski descent, looking back up was very impressive. The constant rock fall from the nearby ridges reminded us that we had to get out of there. The traverse back to our camp site involved some tree skiing and carrying skis over several ridges under a very hot sun, worth the ski. Mazama Glacier (August 3, 2003) Group of eight Chemeketans headed to Sunrise camp through the green Bird Creek meadows. We shared the entire camp with only another team of two people, a rare thing on Adams. The summit day was overcast but the strong west wind was blocked by the mountain. The glacier consists of two moderate snow ramps. We stayed close to the crumbly ridge dividing Mazama glacier from the Klickitat ice fall to avoid the crevasses on the first ramp. The snow was hard but not icy on the first ramp. There is rock fall hazard along this way. The ramp levels of and leads to the second steeper ramp which was hard ice and required a straight up climb rather than zigzagging until we intersected the south slog at Pikers Peak. The rest of the way is snow free all pumice. The cloudy and windy skies still allowed for good views of Rainier. We came down the South side with as much glissading as possible. South Side (August 25, 2002) Was quite dissapointed when our group decided to camp at Crescent glacier after only two hours of hike. Afternoon thunderstorms rolled in and it was quite a show. Next day was clear and perfect for the summit attempt. Long slog to Pikers Peak, it is kind of depressing to see the summit still far away at that point. Glissading down earned me the name of "Flying Turk" as I was airborne on some of the icy sections. | ||

Traversed to high camp from cold springs. (Road to cold springs camp is closed about 1/4 mile from camp due to downed tree across the road). Crevasses are starting to open up on this route.

This was a relatively easy climb done in one day. Four of us left at 7:30am, and returned just by dark at 7pm. The summit was cold and windy, and clouds had moved in by afternoon (I was last to leave at 4pm). Glissading was great! "Subway Tunnels" were already cut, and all one had to do was "transfer" over to the other subway tubes to continue the trip down:) Crampons and ice axe needed, but the glaciers weren't in as good condition as they could have been... Very fun climb! | ||

Great climb and a challenge route finding since the route markers were under 2 feet of snow. We kept having rocks roll down the mountain toward us. Most of them would veer away from us but one or two kept coming straight and we had to scurry out of the way. Some of them picked up enough snow that they were 2 or 3 feet in diameter. | ||

Stary, moonless, cold evening w/ distant lightening turning nite into day. 5am start on the solid only to mush out on the apporach to the pikers peak headwall. Beautiful clear day. Suncupped, plateau w/ sharp ridged recessed path. Sloged last 600' to summit on the loose rock & pumice. Excellent views all directions as it was clear & 40 degrees on the summit but it was a long hot walk back out. Z1 | ||

My first "alpine" summit - a fantastic trip with my dearly beloved Rebecca Rice and a great friend Jim Macsurak. Quite the trip for a bunch of flatlanders from Delafield, Wisconsin (ALT 912!) I saw my buddy make it with little or no training and tremendous fortitude - Jim Macsurak has the heart of a lion. The trip I will always remember - the accomplishment I waited years to complete - just the same, the beginning of the most facinating sport I have ever participated in. Special thanks to All of You at Summitpost for all the beta - this is really a special site my all time favorite! T. A. Casiana | ||

Spent a night on mountain. Very pretty but a long snow slog. More of a hike than a climb!!! | ||

It being so late in the season, I expected to be wading through scree the whole way but was pleasantly suprised at the route conditions. The trail to lunch counter was dry and solid with snow above the Crescent Glacier. A tiny bit of scree slogging to get to the Lunch Counter and then snow again almost the whole way to Pikers. The final 300 feet to Pikers peak was an agonizing scree slog, but that was the worst of it. From Pikers to the summit was dry but the trail was tolerable. Went car to car with some newbies in about 13.5 hours. The route was in much better condition than I had anticipated. But, it's 1,000 times better to go earlier in the season. | ||
