Last month, The Los Angeles Times launched Framework, a top-notch photo blog we've fallen in love with. Not only are we big fans of the site but they're also big fans of the Space! They had nothing but nice things to say about the Space and our IRIS Nights lecture series: "The lectures are informative and entertaining and the space is spectacular it simply engages you. In an odd way, I feel like I'm in an amazing home with the most incredible entertainment system and equally incredible photography in the hallways."
Thanks for the kind words and great blog! We're hooked!

When the final school bell rings this holiday break, kids celebrate their freedom from the classroom. Whether it's an ordinary school day soaked with rain or the end of a semester, we have to be fully prepared with loads of activities to keep them entertained – without keeping them glued to electronics – while they're home.
The good news: it's easy to continue challenging their minds, keep them active, and have fun together during school breaks or stormy afternoons. Store-bought crafts, games and activities can be costly. Instead of splurging, there are infinite DIY projects and solutions that you can create with materials you already have at home! It's time to do-it-yourself, Mama, and create some lasting memories perfect during any holiday or school break.
Using wooden craft sticks (we know you've got Popsicles stored in the freezer!), craft together giant DIY snowflakes. Perfect for the season, they're easy to glue together and kids will love making their own designs. Then kids can paint them, color them with markers, or we recommend coating them with glitter! Let them experiment with shapes for a full day of creatively-crafty activity. Plus, get some more shape and decorating ideas at CraftyNest.com.
Once you're in the crafty spirit, become adventurous world travelers with your kids – without even leaving the living room! All those leftover, recycled and unused boxes and cardboard tubes from holiday packaging are perfect for crafting DIY airplanes, cardboard cars, trains and other things that go-go-go, keeping your kids' imaginations active and playful with engaging activities like building and racing!

Keep the grey winter bright with some colorful kid's crafts this holiday break too! Kids will love getting a little messy and creative indoors, and you'll love easy clean up. Let the kids melt wax crayons with a hair dryer to craft a colorful canvas design (use holiday colors to be extra festive!), or use food coloring in squirt bottles to paint holiday designs in snow. Making a few DIY no-mess finger painting stations with plastic taped over paint and paper will provide hours of artistic activity, and little ones won't get their handprints on your walls!

One of our all-time favorite DIY kids crafts (that also makes a one-of-a-kind gift!) are Slip-Proof Socks. Using puff paints, you and the kids can create designs on the bottom of socks to keep tootsies warm while they're running around the house on holidays and winter break!
{via IamMommaHearMeRoar}
You can browse all the other holiday crafts and school break activities we found, like Bubble Wrap Hopscotch, a DIY "Laser" Obstacle Course, and Cereal Box Guitars for endless fun no matter the season!

Great backpack
By Grandmom
from New Jersey
My grandson loved his new backpack. It's almost as big as he is, but he is able to wear it.
Definitly would recommend!

About Me Practical, Stylish
I bought the backpack along with the rolling travel case, lunchkit & pencil case. This was for my grandson who is one & attending private school. Backpack is perfect size for carrying items everyday. Lunchkit fits great on outside pocket and my daughter uses pencil case for diaper cream, meds, etc. Best of all, I had them all monogrammed which turned out beautifully. The wheeled suitcase, of course, is for visiting at Nana's.
Very cute

develops options in resource acquisition, planning what steps we'll take to accommodate load, higher or lower than what we're projecting. Having those options in our planning process allows us to make sure we're not trapped and acquiring too much or too little of the supply resource.
Fortnightly: What do you see as the most important political and regulatory risks facing Xcel? How are you positioning to address them?
Dybalski: I think the biggest risks we see for regulation are related to climate change and overall energy policy. This is true at the federal and state levels. We've expected this for some time, so for instance we've taken steps to add considerable amounts of wind generation to our mix.
The risk isn't necessarily the need to reduce CO 2 and things like that, but the way it's done and the potential that regulations could change. We could go down one direction—for example to meet a renewable portfolio standard that calls for X percent of wind generation—and three or four years into it the regulations could change out from under us. That potentially changes what investments we have to make, and that could change the whole cost structure, which would affect our customers.
From a financial hedging perspective, that would be difficult to manage. Realistically, the volumes and costs are too large. You can trade CO 2 credits and those kinds of things, but [financial hedging isn't possible] for the magnitude of political risks that we're talking about. It goes to the regulatory and political arena to manage these risks.
We have a vice president of environmental policy whose role is to work with regulatory bodies, legislators and political parties to ensure we have a seat at the table, and policies are developed that we understand. We're pretty certain there's going to be regulation and limits on CO 2. That's fine, we can deal with that once we know what those regulations are and we know they're unlikely to have material changes through time.

Territorial fights emerge in the interregional transmission plans proposed for compliance with FERC Order 1000.
Smackdown! Round Three - The Bankruptcy Court vs. FERC
The jurisdictional battle over authorizing rejection of wholesale power contracts continues.
the bankruptcy court for the Southern District of New York. As part of that bankruptcy filing, Calpine sought and obtained from the bankruptcy court a temporary restraining order that prohibited FERC from taking any action to require continued performance of its power contracts. Calpine then proceeded to seek bankruptcy court authorization to reject a number of power contracts including those that impacted the California parties.
On Jan. 3, 2006, in rapid response to developing events, FERC issued its Order Providing Interim Guidance, in which it referred extensively to the 5th Circuit Mirant decision and concluded:
Although the commission reached a different result in NRG, a federal Court of Appeals has now spoken to the issue addressed in NRG and we intend to follow that authority. Under that authority, the commission is precluded from taking action under the FPA that impacts a debtor's ability to reject an executory contract.
While thus recognizing that the bankruptcy court would have jurisdiction over power contract rejection, FERC further concluded in its Jan. 3, 2006, order that the 5th Circuit decision in Mirant required that a bankruptcy court could not base rejection of a power contract on the business judgment standard, but must apply an enhanced standard that took into account the public interest. The FERC order thus goes on to establish procedures for seeking comments from parties in interest as to whether rejection of the Calpine contracts would impact the public interest.
FERC made clear its purpose in seeking such comments as follows:
By seeking comment on this issue, the commission does not intend to supplant the role of the Bankruptcy Court in considering whether to reject the Calpine II contract. Rather, the purpose of our inquiry is to develop a record on which the commission can, as necessary, make a determination, and then inform the Bankruptcy Court, of its views regarding potential rejection of the Calpine II contract by the Bankruptcy Court.
Meanwhile, the California parties, taking a page from the PEPCO playbook in round two, sought and obtained an order withdrawing the reference over the contract rejection case from the bankruptcy court to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On Jan. 27, 2006, the District Court issued its order holding that FERC had exclusive jurisdiction over Calpine power-contract rejection and that neither the Bankruptcy Court nor the District Court had further jurisdiction to consider the matter. In its order, the District Court expressly noted that it "is aware that its holding here is in obvious conflict with the holding of the 5th Circuit in Mirant and the conclusions of the FERC [Jan. 3, 2006] order."
The District Court went on to observe that 5th Circuit precedent was not binding on courts in the 2nd Circuit and that factual distinctions between the Calpine contracts and the Mirant contracts were sufficient to justify a different result in any event. With regard to the Jan. 3, 2006, FERC order that had adopted the 5th Circuit Mirant ruling, the District Court held that "FERC does not have the authority to determine the

I have collected here some photos from the first few months with Canon EOS D30, my first digital SLR camera. That period of time includes some assignments and a lot of traveling. I took it as a "theme" to pursue a photojournalistic style, which means learning to react quickly to what you see, shooting in available light and trying to get the best photos and compositions out of situations without putting up a tripod and taking 100 shots and choosing one perfect one. I'm so glad that D30 as a tool has given me means to shoot people and events photography in natural light. This is what this gallery is all about.
All images are shot in RAW, and latest ones are linearconverted with LinearSharpen. None of the photos are cropped - that's one of the restrictions I place upon myself in order to really learn this artform.

Allegretto [3'47]
Andantino [6'16]
Allegretto [4'02]
Allegretto [10'22]
This theme is given to the first violin, with gentle counterpoint on the second over an immense pedal D on viola and cello sustained for more than sixty bars. The theme meanders through D major and minor modes, expanding gloriously in a superb developmental restatement before the pulse changes to 3/4 and the key to B minor for a new theme—not unrelated to the first—now developed over another long pedal, this time on E. As this ends, the tonality falls, little by little, until the D pedal is reached again; but the music seems unable to regain its original freshness, and the movement is over.
The second movement, 'Andantino', sustains the folk-like atmosphere with a theme in F minor on first violin, accompanied by second violin and viola. This trio texture is sustained for over thirty bars, so when at last the cello enters, restating the theme, F minor is firmly established, and in this rich key the music flowers impressively, the melodic development coming at precisely the right psychological moment. The return of the elegiac first theme, con sordino, is particularly beautiful, the restoration of the trio-texture being notably apt. The long coda reveals fresh aspects of the theme, with all instruments muted, and cross-thematically quoting from the first movement.
The third movement, 'Allegretto', a delicate scherzando, is subtly related to the preceding movements in timbre—the mutes remain throughout—and in tonal inflexion, for the cello theme in C minor leans to D, the supertonic, the now distant region from which the work originally began. First violin tries to restore C minor by repeating the theme a seventh higher, but the cello's fluctuations veer the key towards A major by way of a typical Shostakovich dactylic figure. The cello restores both theme and C minor—in a shape recalled in the finale of the Tenth Symphony—with which the dactylic figure is combined, before the music peters out, the viola taking centre stage to usher in the finale.
Up to now, on the surface the Quartet has behaved in a relatively straightforward manner, but behind the façade have been a number of factors—the uncertain mode of the 'home' tonality, a textural ebb and flow, recessed timbres, and a fluid thematicism—which, one by one, are now brought literally into play in the finale and which, implying more extended and wide-ranging treatment than hitherto, place the emphasis of the Quartet on to the finale.
Shostakovich's resolution of these factors is particularly artful and logical, but achieved in such a manner that the work's character is unchanged—the music speaks directly to us, with clarity, until finally the folk elements, over deep pedal points, bring this original and fascinatingly subtle work to its miraculous conclusion.

This is my first post here! We are off to New York and are looking for point and shoot camera with a decent zoom for obviously the sites we will see, I have seen the Panasonic Lumix T27 and TZ30 but really cannot see the difference between the two except touch screen and GPS. So for the money is the money really worth the difference - as in will there be an improvement in pictures? Or if there is any other cameras that are similar if not better than these camera for around the same price?
Thanks in advance :)

Beautiful Coat - Great Value!
I bought this coat in a winter white years ago - it has held up beautifully. I still receive frequent comments on how nice it looks. Not only does it have a beautiful classic style, but does the job of keeping me warm. I will reorder - hope they don't get rid of this one.

Best and worst celebrity baby names of 2012
Dealing with scrutiny is part of a celebrity's job, from red carpet looks to parenting choices. Now, Hollywood's tiny tots are in the limelight, with their first names at center stage.
BabyCenter, a pregnancy and parenting website, asked more than 4,000 moms to weigh in on the best and worst celebrity baby names of 2012.
According to the responses, Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley topped the list with their daughter's name, Adalaide Marie. Vivian Lake, daughter of Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady, came in second. Moms weren't fans of the name Bastian Kick, son of Jeremy Sisto and Addie Lane, or Maxwell Drew, daughter of Jessica Simpson and Erick Johnson.

"Passing judgment on celebrity baby names is a national sport for moms today," said Linda Murray, BabyCenter global editor-in-chief. "Celebrities are now so open about their pregnancies that we feel the right to weigh in on their baby names. Our survey results prove that it's tough to win public support -- even from fans -- if celebs choose names that are too quirky or unique, but those who opt for unusual yet classic names can rule the day."

We thought we couldn't get any more excited about the Great Gatsby and then four of Miuccia Prada's sketches landed on our desks. Yep, we're now ready to burst. The designer collaborated with Baz Luhrmann and costume designer Catherine Martin to create 40 cocktail and evening dresses which are all adapted from past Miu Miu and Prada collections.
Miuccia was inspired by her runways looks from the last 20 years - with plenty of fur collars and beaded dresses like we predicted back when we first heard that she was on board the GG team. So now onto the important stuff... how many sequins will we be seeing when the film comes out in May? The sketches include a blue multi-striped sequins dress with a plastic and trimmings embroidery at the bottom, which was inspired by the Prada Spring/Summer 2011 collection.
We love the drawing of the green gown with the bustier with pearls, stones and sequin fringe - a look we've not seen before in any of the promos. This design was inspired by a silhouette of the 1920s and was made using contemporary fabric and embroideries of the 50s. The knock-out design has to be the fish-scale like sequin embroidery dress in bright orange, which was inspired by the Prada Fall 2011 Collection.
It's hardly suprising that Miuccia worked on the Great Gatsby as she has a long-standing friendship with Luhrmann and they worked on Romeo & Juliet together and a series of short films that were featured in the Met's 'Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations' exhibit. But Carey Mulligan is also a Miuccia's muse as she has a Prada and Miu Miu red carpet uniform and she also wore a Prada dress at her wedding to Marcus Mumford.
Catherine Martin the costume designer said of working with the designer: 'Baz and Miuccia have always connected on their shared fascination with finding modern ways of releasing classic and historical references from the shackles of the past. This connection is central to our relationship with Miuccia Prada on The Great Gatsby, and has connected our vision with hers. In the same way Nick Carraway reflects on a world that he is within and without, we have tried to create an environment that the audience will be subconsciously familiar with, yet separated from.'
Take a look at the four sketches and some of the looks from The Great Gatsby in the gallery above. Now we just have to wait to see the other 36...

Influencers are a Few of My Favorite Things
Usually before I do anything, I consult my top influencers (Rotten Tomatoes, 2012 Michelin Guide, Yelp, Amazon's book reviews, my favorite blogs, etc.). It's helps navigate me through a world full of mindless choices. Take the downtown floral store Harvest for example. How in the world am I suppose to choose just one color of rose? Look at all the options! I've never seen a store like it. I was so happy to discover it by myself so I could take my time to investigate each rose and find my favorite.
But then after awhile, I couldn't make up my mind. So finally I decided on these tangerine color roses. Big shout out to whoever correctly guesses who influenced me!
How do you decide what movie your going to watch/what nail polish color/or what book to read? Do you trust your own instincts and experiences? Or do you use others to guide you? A mix of both?

haha, Was it the Pantone color of the year? (I also, I totally understand what you mean by needing influencers!)ReplyDelete
- AlexandraMarch 30, 2012 at 6:39 PM
Hmm, might that be Pantone? Thanks for writing about this place, can't wait to check it out!ReplyDelete
- Julie TurnerMarch 30, 2012 at 6:39 PM
I guess color of the year, too! I think you chose well - so cheerful and pretty!ReplyDelete
Pantone! I always look at reviews and such before I try a new place. You can really weed out the duds that way.ReplyDelete
Well, your blog is why I got the idea to go eat Doughnut plant and I blame my cellulite on you of course...ReplyDelete
and yes, some kind of tangerine was the pantone color of the year and the trend forecasters in my office say everything is going to be MINT GREEN in a second.
Love the tangerine roses! Great choice! As for the influencers topic... I love reading what others have to say...it's interesting and sometimes helps you to look at things in a totally different way! =)ReplyDelete

I realize Pantone is a popular choice for your color influence, but I'm going to guess Ella for fun! She seems like she would completely ignore the winter blues and go straight for a pop of color.ReplyDelete
As far as needing influence, I can be pretty indecisive at times. Unless, of course, I think my influencer would disagree with whatever I really wanted to do (i.e. eat fast food for lunch rather than walking), then the decision is all mine!
For movies I religiously check IMDB, ALWAYS! For books, I like read reviews, and for everything else just whatever I'm liking or the mood I'm in ;)ReplyDelete

That store looks amazing! I'm not usually a fan of yellow but the bright yellow roses look extra pretty to me.ReplyDelete
Hi Sharon - As a new resident of New York (celebrating my one week anniversary today!) I have been walking around in a daze all week wondering how it is all you New Yorkers handle this excess of choice and opportunity. I'm a originally from a smallish city in Australia and have been living in a tinyish city in Switzerland for the past year, where there is no need for influencers because there are no choices! Only one nice florist, one burger joint, one acceptable hairdresser... Even your book and movie choices are contrained by the lack of options! So being in this heaving city is such a breath of fresh air, while at the same time being totally overwhelming with all the choice it has to offer.ReplyDelete
So I've been making a pretty big effort this week to seek out some serious influencers to help me deal with the excess! Slowly but surely I'm learning the value of Yelp, NY Mag, Urban Daddy and the like, and expanding my blog addiction to include as many NY-based blogs as possible (like yours!). Though there is nothing as valuable as the opinion of a native New Yorker, who seem to have them in abundance and are more than happy to have the opportunity to influence you! :)

Hi!! sorry i forgot to do my big shout out to all the answers!!!!! it's coming promise!!ReplyDelete
ok, i'll start planting my mint green roses now so I'll be ready!ReplyDelete
awww. love this comment. Yes--pantone was my color influence, but i like your guess better :)ReplyDelete
sorry for the late response! it's 111 West 28th Street NY NY 10001, telephone 1-877-777-5767. i don't know what the store normally looks like, the workers told me i just so happened to be visiting as they were getting ready for a rose show. perhaps you should call first so you're not disappointed!ReplyDelete
yes, i need to use IMDB more often! good idea.ReplyDelete
yes--the yellow roses were AMAZING. very tempted to get those too :)ReplyDelete
wow! one week (and three days now!) how's it going? i remember being in a complete daze for the first 6 months here. so much to learn! hope it's going well! good luck!!ReplyDelete

For Sass and Bide's return to the London circuit after a brief hiatus, they brought the starriest FROW, some jaw dropping models and their trusted brand of opulence and Aussie bohemia to showcase the new collection entitled LOVESHADY. We were happy to have the lovely design duo Heidi Middleton and Sarah Jane Clarke back in the UK, and we weren't alone in our enthusiasm; inside the Royal Holticultural Hall venue in London's South West, Grazia Daily's latest top crush, Alison Mosshart shimmied up to Shingai Shoniwa of the Noisettes, Poppy Delevingne, new FROW girl notchin' 'em up Delilah, Twiggy, Leah Weller and Jasmine Guinness. But what were our favourite things? Read on…
1. Poppy Delevingne proud as punch of her lil sis Cara walking the runway in a series of metallic-dashed monochrome dresses. She even tried to take pics on her phone!
2. Bow Wow Wow's 'I Want Candy' blaring out. Now that's a song to guarantee a subtle fashion ed bop.
3. The neon beading and beautiful neon shell detailing. It came most stupendously in a mini sleeveless shift dress. We'd very much like some jewellery to match…
4. Necklace necklines. It's a bit of a Sass and Bide trait, that metal-work mixed with something soft and feminine, and it works a treat. Just think of it as accessorising without the faff!
5. Textures textures everywhere! Feathers mixed with beading, metal, chiffon, sharp tailoring, tassels, blended with metallic, origami…. You name it, these girls can work it together. It's success was all down to the stripped-back monochrome palette.
Jourdan doing her fierce thing in Sass and Bide's sparkly gown @Christiana1987
Top Look: In addition to the shell embroidered dress, we're intrigued by a clever white tux-cum-cape creation with sharply trimmed black edges.
Top Model: A toss up between Jourdan Dunn in a striking silver gown and Cara Delevigne in a series of minis. She does give good 'brow.
Top FROWer: Alison Mosshart. Esp as she revealed she's thinking about designing her own line. YAY!
Top Moment: We'll never grow tried of seeing Heidi and Sarah-Jane living the Sass and Bide life in their own creations. These girls are the best ambassadors a brand could wish for. Good catwalk bow.

WASHINGTON - If you are prone to headaches and migraines, the answer to the agonizing pain may be in your grocery cart.
Dr. Oz says that nutrients in different foods play a huge role in the body's overall health.
He advises to especially watch out for an amino acid named tyramine, which is usually found in cheeses, cured meats, beer and red wine. These foods can trigger bad headaches in some people.
"(Tyramine-laden foods) change how your blood vessels open and close and that is one of the key reasons why people get headaches," Dr. Oz explains.
"If you have migraines, you just happen to have very sensitive blood vessels that rapidly respond to chemicals that hit them."
Dr. Oz suggests that those prone to headaches should keep a food diary to track the cause.
"Be a detective and find out which one is bothering you. It's a very impactful way of improving your health."

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Those are the words I imagined escaped Chris Brooke and Bruno Basso's mouths after their stellar SS10 show last September. Their previous collection saw them fuse their signature dizzyingly mind boggling digital prints with a more pared down silhouette, leaving their glorious mastery of manipulating colour and print as the main focus. The Fashion Editor's were hooked on their new clarity of vision, and announced that that season was the tipping point for Basso & Brooke's real 'arrival' onto the main-fashion-players stage. So, whizz forward in time to today and Basso & Brooke's AW10 offerings at Somerset House (with a good Frow turnout of Shinghai Shoniwa, La Roux and Paloma Faith) followed a similar grown-up path. Ok, so the inspiration is different – this time they took a journey to the 'ancient lands of the Silk Routes', meaning most countries ending in '-istan' have been explored for colours, prints, fabrics, architecture and craftwork. And the result? A beautiful patchwork effect digi-print in autumnal tones, highlighted with gold, featuring everything from tiger to chain, ceramic-work, wood and python. Amongst other swirling or graphic prints, these intricate patterns were then fabricated into hi-gloss silky jersey draped dresses that were flatteringly mid thigh or floor sweepingly long, silky blouson tops, clashing scarves double wrapped around necks and an occasional pair of trousers or leggings.
And this time around, the boys visually explained how to wear such bold statement pieces, rather than leaving them all as singular garments, by injecting some boyish tailoring - a camel coat or simple slim cut trousers calmed these prints down and no doubt added some commerciality to the collection. I liked the idea of layering up pieces in the same print, i.e. a jersey draped dress over matching leggings, or dressing down a busy blouse with slick mannish gabardine pants. The printed parka coat looks like it could be a fashion favourite for looking stylish on a rainy day (we've already noticed major parka resurgence whilst watching LFW goers). However, Chris and Bruno are so skilled at using colour energetically that some of the darker pieces in sludgy greens and browns felt uneasy and not as successful at the deeper reds, russets, purples and oranges – but there's no doubt that come Autumn time, any printed dress of theirs will fit more than happily into our wardrobe.

Movement 1: Allegro moderato
Movement 2: Molto adagio
Movement 3: Allegretto non troppo
Hausmann made his debut in London on 30 April 1877 and, the following day, gave the first performance with Stanford of the Irishman's Cello Sonata at one of Hermann Franke's chamber concerts at the Royal Academy of Music. With Hausmann's promotion of the Cello Sonata both in Britain and Europe—the first significant British work in this genre—Stanford decided to compose the Cello Concerto in D minor (also without opus number) for him which, barring Sullivan's more lightweight concerto of 1866, was also a major landmark in the repertoire of British cello music. After completion in short score on 20 October 1879 it was shown to Hausmann for suggestions and improvements. It was then subsequently finished in full score while Stanford was on holiday in Caernarvon, Wales, in late August 1880. The work then appears to have remained unperformed except for the slow movement which Stanford and Hausmann played at a chamber concert for the Cambridge University Musical Society on 13 March 1884.
The first movement of the concerto essays a shared version of sonata form, a model essentially adopted by Mendelssohn where vestiges of the older classical ritornello procedure are also in evidence, notably in the orchestral tutti of the exposition after the solo opening, and in the central orchestral ritornello. Indeed, the opening crescendo which leads to the yearning cello theme is decidedly reminiscent of Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto in G minor. The second subject is a highly lyrical affair which appropriately exploits the singing tone of the cello besides providing an emotional contrast to the more melancholy hue of the first subject. After the central orchestral tutti, Stanford breaks the mould by introducing, quite unconventionally, a new, tender thematic episode in D flat major during the development. Recovery from this radical tonal departure is, by necessity, more turbulent as D minor is restored for the recapitulation where all three thematic strands are restated.
The shorter slow movement in B flat major, marked Molto adagio, is essentially an 'Intermezzo' in song form (ABA), more in the tradition of Schumann. It features an extended, soulful melody which, at its close, is characterized by some remarkably original scoring for strummed pizzicato strings and sustained high flutes (an idea which was to surface again in the slow movement of his late unpublished Violin Concerto No 2 Op 162). A central paragraph, more passionate in gesture, is marked 'quasi recitative' for the soloist and is more operatic in its rhythmically freer delivery and tremolando accompaniment.
For the rondo-sonata finale, Stanford provides an interesting and unusual introduction which, besides furnishing a thematic anticipation of the principal rondo theme, effectively functions as a transition from B flat to D major. This tangential passage adds to the light-hearted nature of Stanford's rondo theme and plays an important role in its eccentric recurrences throughout the movement. It is also preludial to a second subject of much more athletic passagework where we become aware of Hausmann's virtuoso qualities. A second episode makes use of the main melody of the slow movement. This cyclic occurrence acts as a spur to further developmental treatment of the rondo material before Stanford embarks on a recapitulation featuring all three ideas.

When Bud Ketterl started his home theater project, the one challenge he didn't have was space concerns. With 1,400 square feet to play with, Ketterl's basement is bigger than many homes. Forget the bed and hot plate; we'd give up a kitchen and other conveniences to pass out in one of his theater chairs every night.
Instead of making one mammoth theater, Ketterl shared his wealth of space with a game room, a bar, a bathroom and a workshop. When all was said and done, wall treatments took away 200 square feet, but no one's complaining. They are too busy being mesmerized by the perfect party space Ketterl has built. "It's a great place for the kids and us to have our friends over, whether it be for a game of tennis on the Wii, a family movie or a big sporting event like the annual Super Bowl party we had," says Ketterl. "It really is a great area to relax and escape to."
The theater room has six Berkline chairs facing a 104-inch screen. Sneak down to the front, and you can get your candy fix off the theater in the concession area, which also holds games, blankets, a microwave and mini fridge. This is also where the equipment rack lives.
Ketterl built a small closet in that room, which would allow for a Middle Atlantic rack, as well as rear access to all of the equipment. There's also a temperature-triggered bathroom fan, which keeps the heat out of the closet.
Beyond the closet is the bar area, which includes a table and spot to lounge. "As with the whole basement, I tried to make it look old and eclectic, sort of like a T.G.I. Fridays," Ketterl says. "I have a lot of old horror movie posters, old sports black-and-white framed photos, a traffic light, a 1940's barber chair and a 1950's working payphone." Although we might like fries with this (or anything else for that matter), Ketterl's basement is a bit more elegant than any chain restaurant we've ever seen. To tie everything together, he also installed in-ceiling speakers in both the bar and game room, with all of the equipment in the theater's rack, accessible via an IR-based controller.
The entire experience was quite a project; Ketterl didn't do a little at a time. He actually took on the entire area at once. He even archived each section on the AVS Forum, and has an index and 3,600 comments (and counting) that show his work. Ketterl did have some help from friends, his father Al, and father-in-law Jack Scully. However, he had a hand in everything from framing, drywall, trim, flooring and other thankless jobs, as well as choosing and installing all of the A/V equipment. "I tried to pay attention to details," he says. "Personalization was also a big part to it with my Blazing Ridge Cinema concession sign and marquee done in Photoshop, a ticket window, backlit mylar and poster boxes."
When it came to the equipment, Ketterl tried to get the biggest bang for his buck. "I didn't want to compromise quality, but I couldn't spend a fortune either," he says. "I tried to spend a little extra where it made sense and tried to make educated purchases." Of course, much of that education was provided via the AVS Forum.
Since the system has been up and running, Ketterl has added an Xbox, a Wii, HD DVD player, and a slew of accessories. "All of us AVS'ers know it's never really complete-complete," he says. Ketterl also plans to add a fiber-optic star ceiling in March.

You'll find Titanic clues in many places in Northern Ireland. But in a pub?
Tradition comes with time. McConville's has been situated on the corner of the main street in Portadown, County Armagh, since at least the 1800s. That's the "authentic pub" box ticked, then. Still inside are the original wooden snugs (private seating areas), moulded ceilings and etched windows.
It's said that some of the Russian oak fixtures in the bar were replicated from a design on Titanic. Doesn't sound too tall a tale considering the ship was built just over the mountains in Belfast.
If you notice a little button at your table, then you're one of the lucky ones. In a flush of invention, buttons were added to the sung tables. When pressed, the bell informed staff that your glass was empty.
If you do go to the bar, you'll find a round, well-dressed chap on the counter breathing fire. Don't be alarmed – he's just a cigar lighter that's said to be Sir Roger Tichborne, the ninth richest man in Britain who disappeared in 1854.
Still, he wouldn't be the first unusual character found in an Irish pub.

Audioengine's original A2 speakers launched in 2008 and were immediately showered with praise. They were sized to feel right at home on a desk but also boasted smart design decisions and spectacular sound quality, both of which were more in line with traditional bookshelf speakers or studio monitors. The newly updated Audioengine A2+ ($249) retains its predecessor's baseline of quality but builds upon that wide range of usefulness with notable improvements for a variety of audio setups.

Speakers that speak for themselves
Design Spotlight: Joey Roth Ceramic Speakers & Subwoofer
Pursue perfection. Some people — people at the top of their games — consider it a personal mantra. That theory holds for the design world, too, and it's why industrial designer Joey Roth recently released a third version of his celebrated speaker system. Apparently, he just wasn't satisfied yet.
Nocout Punch

There's no shortage of speakers vying for your computer's affections. The trouble is, most have land grab aspirations that put Ted Turner's to shame. Nocs NS2 Air Monitors ($450) are precisely designed to suit even the "coziest" of desktop environments, but like any child of the information age, prefer not to be pigeonholed by any single role.

The Best AirPlay Speakers
Originally designed to play music on only their own products, Apple's AirPlay technology now allows users to stream multimedia from iPhones, iPads and computers to any enabled HDTV or speaker system via wi-fi.

Here are our 10 picks for some of the best AirPlay speakers available.

Symbol Audio Tabletop Hi-fi
The Symbol Audio Tabletop Hi-fi ($1,800) speaker is positioned as an attractive and space-saving solution for discerning listeners in search of better home audio.

Gas utilities and state commissions must work together to help preserve rates of return, encourage conservation, and lower customers' bills.
Leaning on Line Pack
Green energy mandates might overburden gas pipelines.
to meet the intra-day gas nomination and confirmation cycle associated with quick-start resource requirements.
Reasonably straightforward operational actions, implemented across the supply chain from the wellhead to the citygate, can avert or reduce the prospect of harm to core gas customers. Pipeline operators as well as the gas suppliers behind the network of interstate pipelines might need to alter the traditional packing and drafting of the system. For example, with timely notice, suppliers can increase production at the wellhead or at gas gathering and purification facilities to inject more natural gas into the pipeline. Since gas moves through the interstate system at transport speeds no greater than 25 miles per hour, increased scheduling at the wellhead or at interconnects deep in the production center won't bolster the requisite line pack in the market center.
Additionally, pipeline companies can increase the amount of horsepower at key compressor stations along the supply path, particularly in segments where CC plants or quick-start generation are expected to pull gas from the system to furnish ancillaries. Based on preliminary transient pipeline modeling work, one pipeline reported that under normal operating conditions on a summer design day—and, of course, subject to appropriate tariff services being implemented—the pipeline could accommodate the ramp-up and subsequent two-hour operation of up to 10 LMS100s by increasing the horsepower at major compressor stations located deep in the market area.
Pipeline companies can quickly modify the scheduling of gas at key interconnects in the market center to bolster line pack across affected route segments. Pipelines can even reverse the flow of gas across bidirectional route segments when required to increase line pack or respond to gas-side contingencies. Likewise, storage operators in the market center can step up storage withdrawals on a firm or interruptible basis, subject to tariff provisions and other operational safeguards. Regasification of LNG can be increased as well, where there is good access to LNG import terminals such as at Cove Point, Md., Suez Distrigas near Boston, Repsol Cannaport in New Brunswick, or Costa Azul, Mexico. There may be other opportunities to use peaking gas as a source of ancillary services as well.
U.S. pipelines already have a dazzling array of new services that affect how line pack is managed. Park and loan; firm and interruptible storage service, premium hourly services; and cash outs for imbalance charges are just a few of the services that form part of the solution associated with accommodating increased wind penetration. But they haven't been tailored for quick-start units and CC plants that run afoul of rigid NAESB scheduling protocols. Streamlined coordination and communication among gas- and electric-side participants, including natural gas suppliers and storage operators, is therefore an integral part of the challenge of unleashing the power of line pack to integrate wind into the resource mix.
In the final analysis, there's only so much line pack to go around. During cold snaps line pack is and should always be reserved for system integrity to ensure that entitlement holders' superior requirements are met. However, the rest of the year there is a veritable gold mine

IMAX to convert Smithsonian to laser projection
By Associated Press on January 15, 2013
WASHINGTON — IMAX Corp. is beginning an initiative to transition museum-based theaters to new laser digital projection, beginning with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.
IMAX is announcing plans Tuesday to upgrade the Smithsonian's three theaters in 2014. New technology uses lasers instead of light bulbs to light giant movie screens.
IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond says the company invested $50 million to develop laser projection. He says IMAX's roots are in museums, and it aims to keep that business as film becomes obsolete. Digital projection allows museums to show more Hollywood movies.

This summer, swimming pools will be filled with hundreds of people having fun and staying cool. But did you know that germs can contaminate swimming water even if it is treated with chlorine? Learning about recreational water illnesses (RWIs), which are spread by swimming in contaminated recreational waters such as swimming pools, water parks, lakes, and the ocean can protect you from illness.
RWIs are caused by germs like "Crypto" (short for Cryptosporidium), Giardia, E. coli 0157:H7, and Shigella and are spread by accidentally swallowing water that has been contaminated with fecal matter. Most people would expect creeks, rivers or lakes to be contaminated with germs from wildlife or farm animals, but how does a pool get contaminated? You share the water with everyone in the pool. If someone with diarrhea contaminates the water, swallowing the water can make you sick.
The great news is that germs causing RWIs are killed by chlorine. However, chlorine doesn't work right away. It takes time to kill germs, and some germs like "Crypto" can live in pools for days. That is why even the best maintained pools can spread germs. Therefore, Healthy Swimming behaviors are needed to help protect you, your kids, and other swimmers from RWIs by helping stop germs from getting in the pool in the first place. Here are six steps that promote Healthy Swimming:

Tea is my happy place. I drink tea when I'm at home, when I'm at work, when I'm waking up in the morning or winding down for the night or when I need a little boost in the afternoon. Tea is my official side hobby, and I couldn't be happier that I've discovered such a vast world of flavors, aromas, varieties, and traditions – encapsulated by a beverage that I used to shrug at.
My taste in tea always seems to be changing!
Black teas are far and away my favorite. Great Chinese black teas are one of my weaknesses. I also like a lot of the Earl Grey relatives and I have an affinity for floral teas, especially rose-flavored ones.
I don't drink green teas as often, but there are a few I quite enjoy.
Same with white teas.
I have some experience with oolongs, but not much. Most of the ones I've had taste the same to me, and I'm not huge on the roasty-green flavor. I kinda like the juicy-green ones, though.
I'm exploring pu erhs. I haven't had many, but the ones I've tried have been really intriguing when done right, and it seems like the pu erh universe is a rich and complex one once you get past "IT TASTES LIKE FISH!"
I like rooibos, but I have to be in the mood for it. And it HAS to be in a sachet or a bag. Loose rooibos is more of a pain than it's worth.
I go through different phases when I'm trying teas. Sometimes, I really want flavored stuff; sometimes I just want to try pu-erhs; sometimes I'm on a rose tea kick, etc. I enjoy building up my base of tea knowledge and even more the experience of finding a new and unexpected thing I love.
I have a tendency to ramble in my tasting notes. Sometimes it's on topic. Much of the time it's not. You have been warned.
As for me, I'm 25 years old and I work at a music store and play various instruments. Besides tea, I love bicycling, writing, teaching myself French, watching things from everyone else's childhood, ASMR, Star Trek, cats, and awful puns. I'm an INFJ and a Libra too, for all it's worth.
Steepster is absolutely the most positive, kind, and intelligent online community I've ever found, and I love meeting fellow tea enthusiasts through here. I look forward to meeting you!
P.S. Any rare soul who recognizes the profile pic gets bonus points forever.
One foot's on the Holodeck. The other's in Lancaster, Ohio.
