While a couple of Southern California Taco Bells are rumored to be experimenting with cheesy churro fries, atomic bacon bombers, and red-velvet cupcakes, Nations Restaurant News reports that next week Wendy's will roll out both a Bacon Deluxe made with thicker, center-cut applewood-smoked bacon, as well as an advertising campaign that highlights the freshness of its ingredients. The Bacon Deluxe looks pretty massive. That, along with the atomic bacon bombers, would seem to defeat Corby Kummers argument on the Atlantic Food Channel that fast-food chains are toning things down in the face of calorie labeling.
Kummer is clearly passionate about the subject (his wife is the health commissioner of Massachusetts, where she passed a statewide calorie-labeling law), and hes more detailed than his colleague Marion Nestle was in defending calorie labeling. He points out that, by the studys own account, its results may have been different if it hadnt been conducted so soon after calorie labeling launched, before chains were universally displaying the labels correctly. Even so, Kummer thinks theres hope to be found in the results.
Is the fact that it's really, really hard to stop smoking reason to take pressure off cigarette manufacturers or relax anti-smoking laws? Of course not. Even if a bit better than a quarter of fast-food restaurantgoers notice and are influenced by calorie labeling a percentage that seems to be emerging from initial and post-regulation studies that will be a large part of the U.S. population.
So, labeling cant fix the whole problem, and we shouldnt expect it to but it can fix it somewhat. Plus, Kummer believes fast-food restaurants are already making changes because of the labeling.
Yuppie avatar Starbucks immediately changed its default milk from whole to 2 percent, so it wouldn't have to admit that a Frappuccino could amount to practically as many calories as you should eat in a whole day; it recently removed high-fructose corn syrup from its baked goods, though unfortunately didn't make them lower-calorie that's said to be in the works or better-tasting, which I hope is in the works, too.
And the big players, the ones health departments hope will change, are in fact changing. Just this week, Nonas told me the day after the Times story came out Burger King began a new ad campaign telling how customers could eat a full meal for 600 calories or less. McDonalds took .7 ounces and 70 calories out of its standard portion of french fries. Dunkin Donuts introduced an egg-white breakfast. KFC put grilled skinless chicken on its menu not something anyone expected to see at KFC.
Fine, as long as no one expects us to actually eat that grilled chicken. We happen to agree with the Feedbag that the Colonel would be rolling over in his grave if he knew about it. Though of course there will come a day when we forget there ever wasnt grilled chicken on the menu, just like no one misses the Styrofoam packaging at McDonalds anymore. In the end, were willing to buy the argument that fewer people will buy fattening food if they know how calorific it is just like fewer people would hire prostitutes if they knew exactly how many dudes theyd been with. Or would they? Who knows. Just, please, fast-food companies keep the cheesy churro fries coming.

Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster, so be gentle.
I've been having a hard time getting in to raid content (too many tanks and I switched from DPS to tank so I'm behind the curve).
I've run out of things to work on in the mean time so I'm looking for any Pre-Raid gear that I may have missed or different gems/enchants etc. I think I'm over-geared for anything I'll get to see in the immediate future but I don't know what else to do.
I have all the badge gear though I'm not currently using some of it. I've tried a lot of gear combinations but in heroics I just can't tell the difference between variations of hit/avoid/stam so I'm hoping some more experienced tanks can give me some advice.
Thanks in advance, armory link in my signature.

52 Paws and a Couple of Pilots
Pilots N Paws could have easily been referred to as Paws N Pilots instead on Wednesday, April 4th!! North Carolina pilot Doug Oakley and his wife Jane really are our Angels, and they have hearts of gold.
The HART Rescue Team out of Brunswick, GA was desperately trying to find transport to the Jersey Animal Coalition in New Jersey for a mama bulldog mix, her 5 puppies, and 5 more puppies. Doug & Jane offered to help with the first leg from Southport, NC to Tappannock, VA. The HART Rescue Team volunteers drove all 11 puppies to Southport, where Doug & Jane accomodated all 11 pups the night before their big trip.
Since Doug still felt like he was leaving empty-handed, he volunteered to land at nearby Wallace, NC to pick up two beautiful and BIG Pender Co Animal Shelter lab boys named Harvey and Grady who were trying to get to Ruffstart Rescue in Westchester, NY. So, on Wednesday April 4th, Doug & Jane set out for Virginia with a mama dog and her five puppies, five more puppies, and Harvey and Grady. 13 pups, or 52 Paws!
From VA, the Hart Rescue Team pups met their second leg pilot and away they went, on to wonderful lives, thanks to the Jersey Animal Coalition. Harvey and Grady were invited to stay the night with the Oakleys in VA while they waited for their second leg pilots to arrive on Thursday morning. A HUGE thanks for Harvey & Grady's second leg pilots, Jeff Chipetine and Bruce Cohen. What wonderful folks they are and it's been a pleasure working with them.
It's experiences like this that always overwhelms me when working with this wonderful organization. Without the pilots, these pups' lives would have come to an end. For so many people to devote their time, their energy, their expense to help saves lives is a wonderful gift to the world. As a volunteer in a rural county kill shelter, I just can't emphasize how very important Pilots N Paws is to Animal Rescue efforts.
A huge, huge heartfelt thank you for all involved to save these precious lives!
Take care,
Pender Co Animal Control Volunteer, Burgaw NC
These stories are not possible without our pilots, rescuers, and adopters and our sponsors Subaru and Petmate.

At a Jericho school board meeting last Tuesday, the approved inclusion of two new curriculum associate positions drew criticism. No one has been hired for the postions yet, thus salaries have not been drawn.
Resident Ira Checkla voiced his concerns in that the decision came about 20 days following the Jericho budget elections, stating to the board that the resolution "wasn't properly disclosed to the public, in the budget brochure, or even in the agenda. Whether or not the position is warranted is up to you to decide: I think you let the public down."
After 23 years, Board of Education President Michael Cohen announced the retirement of Superintendent of Syosset Schools Carole Hankin, at a school board meeting last Tuesday. Effective October 31, 2013, her contract was due to expire in 2017.
Hankin did not attend the meeting, and she notified the board of her decision by sending them a confidential letter. The news took the school board and residents attending on Tuesday by surprise - her resignation was unanimously accepted.
Jericho High School Freshman Tyler Bloch recently spread national awareness on Tourette Syndrome to a vast audience of viewers on the July 2 episode of the Food Network series "Chopped" in the episode "Teen Invasion.
At 14 years old, Tyler has many interests and passions, including tennis, piano, foreign languages and of course, cooking. His inspiration began by watching cooking shows on the Food Network. After watching various episodes of the show called "Chopped," Tyler thought: "Wow, they should do a teen episode," and went on their website to inquire.
At a Jericho Board of Education meeting last month, Superintendent of Schools Hank Grishman announced that approval to put a traffic light at the corner of Old Cedar Swamp Road and Route 106, and widen Old Cedar Swamp Road to 30 feet with curbing and re-paving has been granted to Bristal Assisted Living Facilities.
Bristal has put in an application for a zoning change to commercial, and special use permit to construct an assisted living facility across the street from Jericho High School and Middle School on Old Cedar Swamp Road, which the district officially opposed back in April.
At the Syosset Board of Education's final meeting of the 2013-13 school year last month on June 18, Trustee Alan Resnick made a resolution to amend the audience to the public at the monthly school board meetings to accept written questions from the community by way of conventional mail or e-mail.
Questions would only be accepted if accompanied by full names and address of Syosset School District residents, and the district must receive the questions no later than three business days prior to the upcoming school board meeting.
The Jericho High School Class of 2013 graduated last month on June 23 in a commencement ceremony held at the Tilies Center. Jericho's valedictorians were Matthew Lesser, Amanda Levenberg, Asha Job, Zachary Kent, Morgan Smiley, Colleen McCormack and Amelia Xu. With serenading music from the choir and inspirational words from speakers such as Jericho School Board President Joseph Lorintz, the district set their graduating class off into the working world with confidence and qualities of leadership.
Last month on June 19, Syosset High School graduated 575 students in the Class of 2013 at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex at Hofstra University. Class valedictorian is Roger Witkin and salutatorian is Seung Wan Yoon. Speakers at the graduation ceremony were give by both staff and students, and a special dedication was held for Jong Hun "John" Lee, who was killed on March 26 by being struck by a Long Island Railroad train - Lee would have graduated with the class of 2013. Syosset High School Class Speaker, who know Lee personally, recalled the reaction of 'support' following his death, and commended the community for being "Syosset Strong."
Prominent surgical oncologist Rajiv Datta, MD, chair of the department of surgery and medical director of the Gertrude & Louis Feil Cancer Center at South Nassau Communities Hospital, has been appointed to the editorial board of International Surgery.

It is composed of approximately 8,000 general surgeons and surgical specialists from over 100 countries/regions.
Woodbury resident Maseih Moghaddassi, MD, has been appointed Chief of the Division of Otolaryngology at Winthrop-University Hospital. Dr. Moghaddassi, a long-time and esteemed member of the Hospital's medical staff, is charged with leading the Division of Otolaryngology in its ongoing endeavors to uphold clinical excellence.
"We have some of the finest otolaryngology surgeons – many of whom are fellowship trained in their subspecialty – on staff at Winthrop," said Dr. Moghaddassi. "I am pleased to the lead the Division as we extend our services to meet the growing needs of our community."
A pancake breakfast fundraiser for 'Team Nick Portugal' was held for Syosset seventh grader Nicholas Portugal, who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in December, 2012, at Applebees in Huntington Station last week.
Organized by Rachel Corcoran, who recruited members of her U9 Girls Syosset Soccer Club, the breakfast gathered community members such as school board trustees Joshua Lafazan and Robert Gershon, who did everything they could to bring happiness and a sense of hope for the Portugal family.

Assessment of student learning is a multi-faceted endeavor at F&M. The heart of all assessment activities is the individual faculty member and academic department. The Assessment Fellows are a group of faculty appointed for their interest in and knowledge about this topic; they are responsible for facilitating the development of assessment of student learning on campus following the Guiding Principles, below. Assessment Fellows are available to consult with departments and individual faculty; we also sponsor Lunches on Learning, where faculty meet over lunch to discuss classroom and curricular issues, and we partner with other groups on campus on endeavors where assessment is a relevant feature.
The goal of assessment is to improve student learning.
While good assessment will help us become more effective at what we care about most, it also forces us to recognize the ways in which teaching and learning are related, but not identical processes
Assessment of student learning should be faculty-led.
While administrative offices have an important role to play, assessment is central to the process of teaching and learning, and thus is something that faculty must "own" and control.
Assessment is something that we already do in our classrooms and elsewhere around campus.
While this is true, moving to a more formal assessment of student learning involves being focused and reflective about this process, and mindful of our own best practices; it is not about doing more and pointless documentation.
Assessment includes articulating clear goals for a class, major, or program, and understanding how those goals are or are not being met.
We all have goals for teaching and learning, but we don't always enunciate them, even to ourselves. It's a valuable exercise to write them down and give them some serious though, even if we don't past them into every syllabus.
Some very important learning outcomes are not easily assessed. But that does not mean we should not try; only that we should not accept easy but unsatisfactory solutions.
We must recognize this from the outset, and resist the impulse to discard or trivialize our goals in order to make them assessable. There is much to be gained from talking, thinking, and working on ways in which we might assess our more abstract goals.
Assessment comes from within the course/department/program being assessed, and is not an artifact of external requirements.
Meaningful assessment can only come from developing our own ways to understand teaching and learning in our classrooms, our departments and more generally at the College. The ultimate outcome of this is improved student learning, and sustainable assessment practice. Indeed, this is the natural outcome of self-reflective consideration of the role of one's course within the larger context of the major and the college, and departmental reflection on the role of the major in promoting student learning.
Assessment may not be used for other purposes than those outlined in these guiding principles, and in particular, it may not and will not be used for the evaluation of teaching.
The results of looking seriously at student learning outcomes will never be used as a tool of evaluation for individual faculty. Assessment will not become a "hammer" to force our colleagues into a particular mode of teaching, nor our students into a particular mode of learning.
Assessment data is "owned" by whomever initiates the gathering of it.
Because it is our intent that assessment activities be "formative" (used by the faculty member or department to improve practices), rather than "summative" (used in a process of evaluation). it is critical that assessment data "belong" to those who gather it. It would be reasonable for faculty members and/or departments to share with others summaries of their assessment activities.
There is no single "correct" model for assessment of student learning. Rather, there is a multiplicity of approaches, some unique to particular disciplines or types of courses, some to particular styles of teaching and learning, all of which can yield effective assessments that improve student learning.
There is no single blueprint for successful assessments. Thus, the process of assessment at F&M will respect departmental, disciplinary, and individual differences in pedagogy and subject matter.
The conversation matters.
We have come to realize that assessment is a process as much as an outcome. As we engage in the process of clarifying our goals, debating how to recognize them, considering what information will help us to do this, and all the other activities involved in assessment, we become more reflective practitioners, and therefore more effective at helping students learn.


text: According to the pilot's statement, the glider was being towed aloft when it encountered turbulence at approximately 200 feet above ground level. The glider gained altitude such that the pilot lost sight of the tow plane. The pilot decided to release the glider and attempt a right turn back to the airport to land. The pilot stated, "The altitude was too low to complete the turn, so I leveled the wings and landed the glider off-field." Upon landing, the left wing contacted terrain and the glider ground looped. Examination of the glider revealed the rear fuselage was broken in front of the vertical stabilizer, the nose gear sheared off, and the horizontal stabilizer was bent at the connection to the vertical stabilizer. The pilot and single passenger were not injured.

Tritex II AC Linear Actuator
Tritex™ Integrated Products
Industry's Most Compact All-In-One Actuator - AC POWERED!
By combining the latest electronic power technology with advanced thermal management modeling technology, Exlar's has set a new benchmark for electric actuator performance versus size. The Tritex IITM Series actuators integrate an AC powered servo drive, digital position controller, brushless motor and linear actuator in one elegant, compact, sealed package. Now you can distribute motion control and solve your application with one integrated device. Simply connect AC power, I/O, communications and go!
Dramatically Reduce Space Requirements
Tritex II electric actuators are the highest power density, smallest footprint servo drive devices on the market. Finally, you can incorporate a fully electronic solution in the space of your existing hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder. You can also eliminate troublesome ball screw actuators. And the space previously consumed by panel mount servo drives and motion controllers is no longer needed. Tritex II actuators may also reduce the size of your machine design while offering significant reliability improvement.
Reduce Costs
Because the new AC powered Tritex II houses the servo drive, digital positioner, and actuator all in one convenient package, you eliminate the labor costs for mounting and wiring the panels. Cable costs are also significantly reduced by eliminating the need for expensive, high-maintenance specialty servo cables. All that is required is an economical standard AC power cord, and standard communication cable for digital and analog I/O.
Also eliminated are the issues associated with power signals and feedback signals traveling long distances from servo drive to servo motor. With the Tritex II, the servo drive and motor are always integrated in the same housing.
No Compromises on Power, Performance or Reliability
With forces to approximately 3225 pounds (14kN) continuous and 5400 pounds peak (24kN), and speeds to 33 in/sec (800 mm/sec), the AC Tritex II linear actuators also offer a benefit that no other integrated product offers - POWER! No longer are you limited to trivial amounts of force, or speeds so slow that many motion applications are not possible. And the new Tritex II with AC power electronics operates with maximum reliability over a broad range of ambient temperatures; -40 degrees C to +65 degrees C.
The AC powered Tritex II actuators contain a 1.5 kW servo amplifier and a very capable motion controller. With standard features such as analog following for position, compound moves, move chaining and individual force/torque control for each move, the Tritex II Series is the ideal solution for most motion applications.
Flexible Communications
Multiple feedback types, including absolute feedback, allow you to select the system that is best-suited for your application. Digital and analog I/O plus popular communication networks such as Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET and CANopen allow the Tritex II to become an integral part of your control architecture or machine control processes.
Exlar Corporation is part of the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork program, for more information click here.
Linear Applications
Tritex II linear actuators employ Exlar's patented, inverted roller screw mechanism for converting rotary motion to highly robust and long-life linear motion. These characteristics enable the Tritex actuator to solve applications that previously required pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. No additional mechanisms (such as acme or ball screws) are necessary to convert the actuator's rotary power into linear motion in order to move the load. In addition, the Tritex II software allows you to create a sequence which causes the actuator, when commanded, to move forward while pressing an object into position. You can establish a preprogrammed force which triggers an event (such as stopping or retracting to another position) or it can maintain that force level until commanded otherwise. This sequence is ideal for assembly, test, fastening and pressing applications. The Tritex II linear actuator can be programmed to follow an analog command signal, making it ideal for controlling valves and dampers in process control applications.

Plancha-Style Shrimp
Published: August 2012 Servings: 4
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 24 large shrimp (about 1 1/2 lb.), middle sections peeled; heads and tails left intact, if desired
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Lemon wedges
Nutritional Information
One serving contains: Calories (kcal) 260 Fat (g) 16 Saturated Fat (g) 2.5 Cholesterol (mg) 170 Carbohydrates (g) 5 Dietary Fiber (g) 1 Total Sugars (g) 1 Protein (g) 24 Sodium (mg) 290
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Cook oil and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat until garlic is soft but not yet golden, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let cool. Strain garlic oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl; set aside.
Place shrimp and onion in separate medium bowls; season with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron griddle over high heat until smoking. Arrange shrimp on one half of griddle in a single layer and onion on the other half. Alternatively, using a cast-iron skillet, cook shrimp first, then onion (don't overcrowd the pan or the shrimp will steam instead of sear). Cook until shrimp are golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn shrimp and onion, drizzle with some garlic oil, and cook until shrimp are cooked through, about 1 minute longer. Divide shrimp and onion among plates; garnish with parsley. Squeeze lemon over top.

During the climb to cruise altitude, the bolt that holds the elevator trim tab actuator rod to the trim tab horn came loose from its retaining nut and separated from the aircraft. This led to severe airframe vibration, and eventually to violent elevator flutter. As a result of the flutter, the inboard half of the right elevator separated from the airframe. By reducing power on the right engine, and adding power on the left engine, the pilot was able to crab the aircraft, reduce the airflow over the right stabilizer/elevator, and ultimately execute an emergency full-stop landing.

I've been wanting to describe some of my work with using R to help me understand data I'm collecting in Couchbase Server† because I find it quite interesting, useful and easy. However, it's been difficult for me to figure out a good starting point because I don't know who the audience would be. That is, finding the right set of assumptions to get going has been quite hard.

We built a couple of new protocol operations for people building applications. The general goal of adding an operation is to keep it orthogonal to other commands while enhancing the functionality in a way that lets you do things that couldn't be done before, or at least were common and difficult to do efficiently.
Here is a description of the new commands and an idea of how they might be used.
[This post also appears on Dustin's github blog].
[This post also appears on Dustin's github blog].
I recently had a Membase user point out a sequence of operations that led to an undesirable state. I've got a lot of really good engine tests I've written, but not this case:
Memcached security is a hot topic since the sensepost guys released go-derper at blackhat.
The presentation was pretty good and informative, but it seems like the hype around it has left a bunch of people confused. Although much of this was covered in the presentation, it needs to be restated as much as possible.
For years, people have used memcached to scale large sites. Originally, there was a simple modulo selection hash algorithm that was used. It still is used quite a bit actually and it's quite easy to understand (although, it's shown regularly that some people don't truly understand it when applied to their full system). The algorithm is basically this:
We've been steadily hacking on memcached. We think it's going very well, but we do want to make sure everybody who cares has the opportunity to see what's going on behind the proverbial curtain. The basic theme is to build a platform that allows a company to solve its scaling problems without preventing you from solving your own. Extensibility The biggest thing we've been working on is getting the storage engine interface really solid. Trond has been thinking about this for two years and did an excellent presentation on an application of it at last year's MySQL User Conference.
Memcached is a pretty simple system with pretty simple semantics. Many users have wished for just a little more functionality than provided out of the box which has led to several forks and related projects.
To accommodate what are really just minimal differences, lots of projects have spun up as either forks of memcached, or entirely new projects

For more than a century, Hispanic voters have sided predominantly with the Democratic Party, and until recently the party reciprocated by electing Hispanic governors and senators. That is no longer the case.
Since 2010, all but one of the top Hispanic politicians governing states or in the United States Senate have been Republican. Today, Hispanic Republicans govern New Mexico and Nevada. Susana Martínez became the first Mexican-American woman to be elected governor of New Mexico and Brian Sandoval, also a Mexican American, defeated Rory Reid, the son of Senate President Harry Reid, to become governor of Nevada. That same year, a little-known South Florida Cuban-American, Marco Rubio, became a U.S. Senator.

At 0500 the pilot called FAA's Denver Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS). He asked the briefer for any reports of cloud tops in the Denver area. The briefer said that the forecast called "for the tops layered to twenty four thousand" feet. The briefer said the weather was improving in the Denver area, but weather conditions in the Aspen area were not expected to improve until later in the day. The pilot did not obtain a full weather briefing and declined a briefing on adverse weather conditions. At 0630, the pilot told a business associate his situation. He called the associate again at 0659 and told him that he was going to fly north to go around the weather. The airplane was reported missing when it failed to arrive in at its destination. The next afternoon, a surveyor came upon the wreckage. The wreckage was located in rising, wooded terrain. A witness, who resided approximately 1 mile uphill from the accident site, said he heard an airplane fly overhead at the approximate time of the accident. The witness said he heard the engine power "cut back" and then "power up" again. He said it sounded as if the airplane was 200 to 300 feet above the ground, flying in a southeasterly direction. He was unable to see the airplane due to poor visibility, low clouds, and fog. Weather 3 nautical miles southwest of the accident site, was as follows: "Wind, 360 degrees at 8 knots; visibility, less than 1/4 statute mile, light snow; sky condition, overcast 200 feet agl; temperature, minus 5 degrees C.; dew point, minus 6 degrees C. An examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies.

Home****Work In Progress Frozen mp3 Blog****Buy Our Music
Usually it's assumed performing is the ultimate test of a musician's accomplishment, and that once one has achieved a certain level of skill the next proper step is to look for a venue.
Ever since we started trying to promote our music, folks have been bothering us with questions about why we don't perform, and often their ( not so friendly ) implication has been if we don't perform, then we're not quite real musicians.
But to us this makes as little sense as believing every good cook should find work as a restaurant chef.
Because for us music is most emphatically not performance, rather it's something we do when we're alone and only for ourselves, except when we're recording. ( Our Recording )
To take this beyond the merely personal, we can't help but feel the ( relatively recent ) total takeover of music by performers is one downright tragic aspect of the ongoing shrinkage of the modern human.
To us it's clear the world was a better place when everyone made music ( using the word broadly to include things like whistling, lullabies, work chants, and shepherds' piping, as well as playing more official instruments like pianos and violins ), when most music was like ours in the sense it was something folks did to entertain themselves and their close friends.
Indeed for us playing music and performing music not only feel like completely different activities, they're usually mutually exclusive.
So most of the time when we "perform" ( which is never to more than one or two friends sitting in the quiet of our home*), we're painfully aware we're not really playing music, instead we're just imitating ourselves playing music.
And it doesn't matter that nowadays we've reached a skill level where our imitation can be very convincing to others, because we can't fool ourselves. We can't avoid hearing how performing we're almost always playing patterns which are familiar, graceful, and safe, and how inevitably this tames and steals the magic from our music.
How different from when we're alone and not afraid to sound awkward ! It's only then that we can really lose ourselves.
It's only then that the magic mounts in our music until it draws a hovering crowd of listening Gandharvas and Angels. (*Music and Magic )
Of course most performers will disagree with this and instead claim they get inspiration and energy from their audiences, but since our personal experience continues to be that audiences just make us uptight, we do our best to avoid them.
Other Ways To Share One's Music
At this point some unsympathetic readers may impatiently throw up their hands and insist what we've been saying is just idealistic nonsense. That in the real world the only way to prove you're a serious musician is to put your skills on the line and get out there and perform. And that if you don't, you're just a "closet musician" ( yes, someone actually was silly enough to say that to us. )
But this view fails to recognize that thanks to modern recording techniques, performance is no longer the only way of presenting one's music to the public. ( Our Recording )
Indeed far more people now listen to recorded music than attend live performances.
Of course live performances still have important social functions. They occasionally take audiences to worlds more gracious and magical than their ordinary lives, they energize warriors, warm up congregations for their preachers, help people celebrate weddings, graduations, and homecomings, create situations where the young can find mates, etc.
And of course it would be surly and ungracious not to acknowledge our enormous debt for all of the wonderful music we've been able to hear only because of the sweat and hard work of many dedicated performers.
So it's quite reasonable those who perform music gain social advantages, that they earn money and carve out identities.
Still we don't see why this gives performers the right to claim that what they do is the ultimate goal of music, or that because they perform, they are more serious musicians than those who play music without performing.
It was more than 20 years ago when we were living in India immersed in the Varanasi classical music scene, that we first started to suspect the modern world was making a terrible blunder to equate performance and serious music. ( The Indian Music Scene, The Street Singer, Music and Magic )
Advantages Of Not Performing
By now it should be quite clear this page is doing far more than merely defending our right to avoid performance, far more than insisting there's nothing inherently weird about serious professional musicians like ourselves refusing to strut our stuff up on the stage.
Because obviously we're also very certain not performing has given us important concrete advantages in our search for radically different music.
We've already mentioned how playing only in private greatly reduces our fear of sounding awkward and makes it easier to be truly experimental.
But also because we don't perform we don't have to shape and chip away at our music until it fits some category. What we do doesn't have to be "rock", or "reggae", or "funk", or "classical", or "twelve tone", or "minimalist", or "jazz", or "bebop", or "fusion"….
And this means we're free to go for newness rather than having to work to give some audience the music it expects. We're not like poor Sir Mick, who must sometimes shiver when one more time he has to sing "I can't get no satisfaction".
And since recording our own music lets us get it out there without performing, we've been able to skip the rigid practice demanded of performers, we've been able to avoid that painful species of determined repetition which even as it develops skill, digs deep grooves in the brain and traps one in old patterns ( Practice ). Not to mention that since excessive practice ( and performance itself ) greatly increases the chances of developing some career ending injury, avoiding it is one reason our music is still growing after more than 20 years. ( Doing Music Differently )
Burnout ends as many artistic careers as injury, a fate which from the start being musical generalists has helped us avoid. Building our own instruments, playing all of them, doing all of our own recording and sound editing, and using writing this website to explore our understanding of music, has kept things interesting, kept our love of music alive. ( Unspecialized )
While playing only in the quiet of our home means we can do it softly, can focus on the relaxation which is the royal highway to newness. And of course when we're relaxed and our music is soft, we're more likely to sound sweet ( isn't loud sweetness an oxymoron? )
To use a theater analogy, in years past actors had to speak loudly and use only grand easily visible gestures. Indeed cultures like the Greeks and Japanese even supplied performers with large masks. But now thanks to the "close-up", movie actors can whisper powerful lines and explore subtle facial expressions. Similarly amplification has now given musicians the option of playing softly.
However not many have taken advantage of this exciting possibility, and more often even in the studio most musicians have continued to go for volume.
Sigh…. old habits do die hard, and these are people who for their entire careers have had to blast past ever higher levels of ambient noise, have had to appeal to listeners with the chronically damaged hearing endemic in this modern world.
Unfortunately this unending quest for volume has limited music in all sorts of ways, has had negative effects going far beyond merely making generations of violinists deaf in one ear, and pop musicians and Beethoven deaf in both. ( Music and Magic )
Also since we haven't performed, we haven't had to stay up too late and hang out in noisy smoky environments, we haven't had to travel long miles to venues and eat unhealthy restaurant food, and we haven't had to play when our heads or our stomachs ached.
And obviously this too has helped keep our love of music alive.
Not performing has freed us to make music that's very different and elegantly magical.
Here's the next to last cut of Work In Progress, our newest CD. ( Doing Music Differently )
It's brave because since no one was listening we didn't need to worry about blowing it, we knew if we didn't like something we could just take it out or redo it. It's slow and deeply chilled because it was recorded when we were alone, well rested, and in the quiet peace of our shrine like music room. ( Our Recording )
Hand in Hand : Sung on top of a Boxus Quartus, Boardus Quartus duet
Our Performing ?
Having said all of this, it's perhaps time to point out there's one sense in which we are performers…. it's just we're performers who perform only in our own home with our microphones as our only audience. ( Our Recording )
Of course this somewhat extends the conventional meaning of "performance", but we feel it's a reasonable extension since when we're recording it does make things different, it does supercharge our experience in a way similar to what many musicians claim happens during their performances.
Because even if our microphones are the only audience, they do focus our attention and make us more critical. Knowing we're trying to get down something which will be permanent, we can't just pleasure cruise through the music, there's part of us which is always asking "what will this sound like to someone else? "
And naturally this affects the way we play.
For one thing, it encourages us to listen to each other more carefully and so leads towards music which is even more magically together. ( Music and Magic )
Also when we're in a recording phase and are recording several times each week, we start playing more slowly because we've learned playing fast, while it's fun to do, often doesn't sound so good recorded.
And because it sounds better recorded, we start playing more in the lower registers of our Bowus Family instruments. While with our Kalimba Family instruments we get more careful about avoiding their "wolf notes", we pay more attention to precisely how we hit their keys, to the sweetness and ring of their tone.
But doesn't this mean we've learned to play for our recording equipment even as performers learn to play for their audiences?
A Final Irony…
As a final irony we would like to suggest a listener enjoying our recorded music may actually be hearing a more authentically live performance than is offered at most concerts.
Because what's offered at a concert is usually something that's been rehearsed so many times practice has washed every last bit of spontaneity out of it, whereas our recorded stuff is truly improvised and so more truly live.

Crystal System: Not known
Status of Occurrence: Confirmed Occurrence - 1st UK recording
Distribution: Rare
Chemical Composition: Lead manganese oxide hydroxide
Chemical Formula: PbMn4+3O6(OH)2
Method(s) of Verification: Eaglebrook (Nantycagl) Mine - XRD & EDS (National Museum of Wales, NMW X-1562); Frongoch Mine - XRD (National Museum of Wales, NMW X-1820).
Chemical Group:
- Oxides & Hydroxides
Geological Context:
- Supergene: in situ natural oxidation & weathering deposits
Glossy, black, botryoidal cesarolite from Eaglebrook Mine. Field of view 18 mm across. National Museum of Wales Collection (NMW 2003.1G.M.419). Photo T.F. Cotterell, © National Museum of Wales.
Introduction: a rare supergene mineral formed as a result of the near surface alteration of galena within manganese-rich environments.
Occurrence in Wales: recently identified (Cotterell, 2006) at Eaglebrook Mine in the Central Wales Orefield during investigations looking at manganese mineralization across Wales. This discovery, which, represented the first record of this species in the British Isles was quickly followed by another at the nearby Frongoch Mine (Cotterell, 2007). Given the inconspicous nature of this species it is likely to occur elsewhere in association with Pb-bearing base metal deposits.
Key Localities:
- Eaglebrook (Nantycagl) Mine, Ceulanymaesmawr, Ceredigion: soft, black, botryoidal manganese oxide labelled as psilomelane on a National Museum of Wales specimen (NMW 2003.1G.M.419) was shown by Cotterell (2006) to be the rare mineral, cesarolite.
- Frongoch Mine, Devil's Bridge, Ceredigion: Soft, dull black botryoidal crusts on brown pyromorphite crystals collected from the extensive tips (Cotterell, 2007).
- Lletty Evan-Hen Mine, Bont-goch, Ceredigion: traces of cesarolite, lithiophorite and goethite occur with coronadite on the tips (Cotterell, 2009).

Starting and Running a Coaching Business: The Complete [...]
Ayranne Oade
Oxford: How to books, 2009.
Reviewed by Sarah McCarthy
As the title indicates, this book is an informative guide of how to start and run a coaching business. The book is presented in a concise and intuitive way; laid out with clear headings and succinctly broken down into relevant chapters. It asks the reader to adopt a self reflective approach, by often posing questions to the reader around various elements of starting and running a coaching business. However, it also assumes a pragmatic style, by offering tips and experience from the author.
Throughout the guide the author details various potential scenarios, in order to illustrate practical situations to the reader. I personally did not find these very helpful, but others may find them thought provoking all the same. The book does not profess to provide a detailed account of each area of starting and running a business, but does provide an overview of the important aspects, which is accompanied by references to useful websites.
I found the slightly tedious introduction the only real downside of this book, but fortunately this short read soon gains tempo. The first chapter encourages the reader to reflect on why they want to own their own coaching business. This section persuades the reader to set aside some of the romanticism of working for one's self and instead presents a balanced view on life as a Coach.
This initial chapter may feel slightly redundant to individuals who have already spent serious time considering starting a coaching business, or those who are running a business, but this book is aimed at a wide audience, targeting also those individuals who have paid little serious thought to starting their business. Nevertheless, this book may still be helpful to individuals with an established coaching practice who want to reconsider their offering. Fortunately many of the exercises in this book can be revisited, which may be helpful for readers to monitor their progress.
Continuing with its reflective approach, Chapter 2 asks readers to consider their own niche in this ever competitive market. Moreover, it also pays consideration to how a Coach might structure their coaching sessions.
Chapter 3 highlights the importance of effective time management and the value of the Coach investing time in their own development. In the practical style of the book, the author offers helpful experience and tips in how to organise responsibilities such as rewards and holidays.
Chapter 4 continues the earlier theme of how Coaches present their offering, but this time with a direct focus on how individuals will sell and market themselves. Beginning by asking the reader to consider the prospect of carrying out these functions, this section next offers advice about how these tasks can be carried out in the most effective way. Further topics included in this chapter are the etiquette for gaining references, creating a mission statement and working as an Associate. This chapter is completed with a consideration of fees and the structuring of these.
Chapter 5 focuses on the relationship between the Coach and Coachee. Firstly it discusses how the meeting with the Coachee can be structured in order to build a fruitful relationship with the individual, and how to continue to nurture this relationship in an ethical way. This section also draws attention to the power of coaching qualifications. The next chapter presents a strong case for the benefits of supervision and the potential risks of not choosing to be supervised.
Chapter 7 continues to offer advice on important issues when starting and running a coaching business, focussing specifically on those matters which may have previously been taken care of by an employer. Talking frankly the author outlines responsibilities that now lie squarely with the Coach. Discussing firstly why ongoing professional development is valuable, it then turns to offer guidance on how to plan and budget for this. Further topics covered include how to gain feedback from clients.
Chapter 8 highlights the comprehensive nature of this guide, by providing some expert advice on maintaining relationships with other Coaches. The author provides some cautionary words of warning, as well as offering guidance on how these relationships can be advantageous to the Coaches involved.
As should probably be expected from a book of this nature, the next chapter includes information on confidentiality and ethics. Looking firstly at setting and adhering to confidentiality agreements, the book next turns its attention to other confidentiality issues, such as preserving the necessary boundaries between Coach and Coachee, whilst effectively addressing their needs. Chapter 9 also prompts the reader to consider, not only the ethical issues that a Coach would adhere to as part of their affiliation with professional groups, but their own personal code of ethics.
The final chapter provides an overview of important financial considerations when starting a coaching business, and whilst not claiming to be comprehensive, it is a useful starting point and contains helpful pointers, such as tips on organising business documents. This book is concluded with a repository of useful contacts, including details of the major accredited coaching groups.
Whilst reading this book I sensed the author was pouring onto paper their own hard-earned expertise. The result is a book which is a joy to read and could easily become a revisited bible for coaching entrepreneurs. It is hard to feel that all its readers would not take at least something valuable from it. Particularly as it not only covers a comprehensive range of topics, but in adopting a reflective style the onus is placed on the individual to consider what their coaching business will mean to them.

HMS Belfast's extraordinary war service is recognised by Russia
23 March 2010
FOR two years, HMS Belfast was part of the Arctic convoys that kept Russia supplied and able to fight with the Allies during the Second World War.
Now Russia is repaying its debt by funding the restoration of the former Royal Navy cruiser (below) and honouring its surviving veteran sailors.
A ceremony will tomorrow be held on board the ship, now an Imperial War Museum piece moored in the Thames, to mark the 65th anniversary of the end of the war. Commemorative medals will be presented to 14 retired sailors and Russian firms are expected to confirm they will fund the £500,000 replacement of HMS Belfast's two badly-eroded masts.
HMS Belfast is known as the "last witness" to the extraordinary wartime feats that saw 40 convoys sail to the north Russian port of Murmansk, supplying munitions, tanks and aircraft. Of the 811 ships that took part, 68 were sunk.
Admiral Lord West (right), the former First Sea Lord who is a trustee of the Imperial War Museum, told the Standard: "She has played her part in history, Belfast. I'm really delighted the Russians now recognise what the Arctic convoys did for their nation, and the bravery of our sailors.
"It was very arduous but very important for keeping Russia in the war. That was the key reason we managed to defeat the Germans. The Russian Army ripped the guts out of the German Army."
One Belfast veteran, William Light, 85, who was born in Highbury, said he was honoured to receive a medal. "It's something I shall appreciate until I'm dead," he told the Standard.
"I'm glad we did it, because without us and the main ships, the small ships wouldn't have stood a chance. We saved the lives of people who really had no chance without our help."
Edward Cordery, 86, who was a torpedo operator on HMS Belfast, involved in the epic Battle of North Cape over Christmas 1943, when Belfast was part of an Allied convoy to destroy the massive Nazi battle cruiser Scharnhorst. He also served on Belfast when she led the sea attack during the Normandy landings in 1944.
He said: "We were told it was important we protected the [Arctic] convoys and made sure they were successful. It would help to stop the war. It was as simple as that."
Allan Beer, 84, who was an anti-aircraft gunner on HMS Belfast, said: "I know it was 66 years ago but it is nice to be recognised."
He added: "The thing that left an impression on me was hearing a ping and being ordered to shut watertight doors and waiting for an explosion, which fortunately didn't come. There were a few submarines about, and occasionally we had to shut down our engines. It was a game of cat and mouse."
Sovcomflot, the world's largest commercial shipping company, and Lukoil, the largest oil company in Russia, are both expected to announce "significant" contributions to Belfast's restoration. Two Russian naval shipyards are ready to compete to build the replacement masts free of charge.
Yury Fedotov (below), the Russian ambassador in London, told the Standard: "It's impossible to underestimate the role played by British sailors during the Second World War to provide vital supply routes across the Arctic ocean. The sailors are still remembered in Russia for their bravery and self-sacrifice.
"For Russian people and the Russian government, HMS Belfast is first of all a symbol of the unity with the British people during the war. It is great we still have such symbols but unfortunately time does not spare anyone or anything."
Tim Lewin, whose late father, Admiral of the Fleet Lord Lewin, was a junior officer on HMS Belfast, said: "Belfast went to the rescue of the Russians for two years. Now the Russians have come to the rescue of Belfast."

BROWNSVILLE - Authorities evacuated the 3000 block of Resaca Vista Drive, after a suspicious package exploded at a home there. Two adults and a 5-year-old girl were injured. All three suffered second degree burns.
We're told the child was flown to a San Antonio burn unit. The two adult victims were taken to a Valley Regional Medical Center. A Hazmat crew was sent to the hospital as a precaution. CHANNEL 5 NEWS learned the hospital closed its emergency room parking area to the public as a result.
Several agencies are investigating the incident. Authorities on the scene said a man at the home called police, after noticing the package between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. We're told he took the package inside the home. Investigators said the child was caught in the brunt of the explosion.
The explosive device is still in the home. Authorities are working to remove the package.
The home is located a few blocks from two elementary schools. Brownsville ISD officials said the schools are not in lockdown.
CHANNEL 5 NEWS has a crew on the scene and is working to get the very latest updates.

'Tim's Vermeer' captures an inventor's strange artistic obsession
Movie about San Antonio inventor Tim Jenison explores inventor's fascination with Johannes Vermeer's technique
Published: March 12, 2014
Jenison himself proves an affable subject, captured over the course of thousands of hours tweaking, building and painting away. While what he's doing seems absolutely insane at times, he comes off as wry and analytic, almost to a fault. Musing about Vermeer's famed technique, he tells the camera, "They say Vermeer painted with light, but you can't paint with light. You have to paint with paint."
Jenison, who is not a painter at all (though his wife and three daughters are all artists), tests his theory on a simple black-and-white photograph, which he paints a replica of using his mirror contraption. The result literally elicited "oohs" and "ahs" from the audience in my film screening. He then gains two enthusiastic supporters in Hockney (who is so delightful in this film you'll want to track down the 2009 doc David Hockney: A Bigger Picture) and Steadman as he endeavors to re-create a Vermeer painting, from scratch, using his method.
The chosen painting, "The Music Lesson," was likely created in a room Vermeer used often for his work, and Jenison wanted to replicate the space exactly. He spends more than 200 days transforming a nondescript warehouse in northwest San Antonio into the room. He commissions custom pottery, replicates the intricate detail of the harpsichord and special-orders the unique instruments, globe-trotting as needed. While Teller might not be the most technically savvy director, he works magic in making this a thrilling process to behold, giving the narrative a madcap caper air.
The actual painting process, too, is somehow enthralling, though we're mainly seeing Jenison hunched over the same desk, with his mirror contraption and some tiny brushes. As in the tableau, he tries to remain as authentic as possible, using only natural light and learning to mix colors as Vermeer would have back in the 1600s rather than buying oil paints. Like Dalí's fish scales, this is physically painful work that took Jenison more than 130 days to complete. Just painting the tiny knots on the rug featured in the right-hand corner took almost a month.
The final result is … well, I won't spoil it. Let's just say it gives you an appreciation for Vermeer, optical device or not, as well as for Jenison, who stuck with the project for five full years. Jenison has said that he feels about 90 percent sure that Vermeer used a contraption very similar to the optical device he created, but some art historians remain skeptical. While few would call Jenison's Vermeer copy art, after viewing this film, I'd say, based on the passion, curiosity and dedication Jenison displayed, he's certainly an artist … of some kind.

Shocker: Surprised Kitten More Popular Than Michael Jackson [STATS]
As 2009 comes to a close, it's interesting to look back at what stories were the most popular, captivating and shared. Social widget AddThis has calculated the 15 most-shared articles from the sites that use its service. Before looking at the list, we probably could have guessed many of the most popular stories. However, the ranking of those stories is an entirely different matter. Let's put it this way, Michael Jackson's death has nothing on an adorably cute kitten.
