Augustine of Hippo (354-430)
Augustine is one of the greatest theologians of the Christian Church and his influence is felt throughout all of Christianity. He was born at Tagaste, Roman northern Africa which is now Souk Ahras, in Algeria. His father was Patricius, a poor man who was a pagan and his monthe, Monica, was a Christian. They were very poor but Augustine's parents worked very hard and sacrificed greatly to give their gifted son an education. "Augustine studied first at Madaura and then received training in rhetoric at Carthage (375) which prepared him to "dress his words in style." At Carthage Augustine abandoned the faith of his mother and followed the immoral practices of his fellow students. In 372 he took a mistress who remained with him for about thirteen years and bore him a son, Adeodatus (who died around 390)."1
Augustine was greatly influenced by Cicero's Hortensius (a document now lost), which helped him to develop a love for wisdom. He became a Manachean being attracted to it by its rationality. The Manacheans taught a strict dualism of absolute evil and absolute good. In Manacheanism, the God of the Old Testament was evil and hard. The God of the New Testament was loving and Kind.
He became a teacher of rhetoric at Milan at 384(5?) and then later in Carthage. As part of his appointment in Milan, he was to give public orations honoring the Emperor. He continued to read and listen to various authors, including Christian ones. He ended up sending his mistress back to Africa while he waited for his mother to arrange a wedding into a wealthy family. Upon reading Romans 13:14 ("But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts."), he decided to give up his quest for power and sexual gratification and secluded himself at Cassiciacum in order to pursue truth.
He was baptized by Ambrose in 387 having been converted in Rome under Ambrose's preaching. He adopted a contemplative philosophy and began to try and get the donatists to join the Church. Donatism was the teaching that that the effectiveness of the sacraments depends on the moral character of the minister. Augustine rightly taught that the validity of the sacraments (baptism, Lord's Supper) were made valid by God, not by the one who administers them. Gradually he became a more biblically trained and became involved and pastoral ministry.
He had also turned against Manichaeanism and wrote against it defending the goodness of creation and "describing sin to abuse of free well."2 He also he worked against Pellagianism and taught that the grace of God is what enabled man to believe, that man was not sinless, and infant baptism was acceptable. Palagianism was condemned by the two councils at Carthage (407 and 416) and at Milevum in Numidia (416).
In August of 410, Rome was sacked by the Barbarian King Alaric. The pagans in the Empire blamed the Christians for this because they had encouraged abandonment of the pagan gods of Rome. He wrote "the city of God" in which he developed un apologetic against the accusation that Christians were responsible for the fall of Rome.
After his mother died he returned to Tagaste and founded a monastery in Hippo. In the later 44 years of his life, he was a monk and a bishop of Hippo Regius in the Roman African province of Numidia.
In the last few years of his life, realizing how influential his writings had been in the Christian church, he wrote "Retractions" a work that examined all his previous writings. He contracted a sickness and died in 430.
Some quotes from Augustine
- "Lord, hast Thou declared that no man shall see Thy face and live?—then let me die, that I may see Thee." 3
- "Christ is not valued at all unless he is valued above all."4
- "Faith is understanding's step, and understanding is faith's reward."5
- "No one longs for eternal, incorruptible, and immortal life, unless he be wearied of this temporal, corruptible, and mortal life."6
- "To be assured of our salvation is no arrogant stoutness; it is our faith. It is no pride; it is devotion. It is no presumption; it is God's promise."7
- " Love God, and do what you please."8

PDC bit design has evolved dramatically from its primitive origins in the early 1970s. Along with the concurrent development of man-made diamond, which resulted in the mass production of Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) and Thermally Stable Polycrystalline Diamond (TSP or "diamond grit"), the fixed-cutter PDC bit has become the preferred choice 35 years after its first field deployment. PDC bit evolution can be attributed to vast improvement in cutter composition, geometry and distribution. According to one bit salesman who has been around long enough to know, "The industry saw fixed cutters pass roller cones in total market share last year, and PDCs continue to push ahead in share of worldwide operations and in feet drilled."
Besides showcasing the new bit designs for this year, this article also focuses on recent developments in bit-design patent battles, proprietary bit-design software and the innovative solutions spawned by those designs...

Pretty Little Liars Review: Empty Shadowsby Teresa Lopez at . Updated at . Comments
Well, it was bound to happen some time.
Last week's Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Episode 18 was an amazing installment and - if the promos are any indication - next week's will be just as exciting... but I guess it was time to slow things down a bit.
Luckily, it wasn't your average filler episode, so viewers could at least be entertained as they waited another week for the real drama to begin.
Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Episode 19 was mostly a flashy installment with very little substance. It seemed more like an excuse to put the actors and actresses in beautiful 1940s and 50s fashions than anything else.
Spencer's pill-popping has become a serious problem. She looks jittery and exhausted, basically like a drug addict in all her non-noir scenes. And now her little habit has caused her to hallucinate an entire episode. Thanks a lot, Spencer.
The film noir daydream was clearly a way of indicating that Spencer was beginning to crack up, while giving the characters a chance to look mostly uncomfortable in a costume drama. There were some stunning images in the episode and some killer clothes, but it was odd to have the characters completely adopt the 1940s atmosphere, especially because most of the events of the episode had no real effect on the actual storyline.
There was some exciting stuff in the noir scenes, but none of it really happened. So those scenes didn't really matter at all. Kind of seems like a waste of time, right?
While most of the noir stuff seemed pretty ridiculous (15-cent coffee, Hanna working as a telephone operator), the Paige and Emily relationship really worked as a romantic piece of social commentary. It may have been unnecessary, but watching the two struggle with the stigma of their love was moving.
Spencer's little hallucination may have shown us that her mind is overworked, but it also gave her the space to work out the mysteries of the show and put the puzzle pieces together. In the end, she realized that the it was too easy to find that journal.
A is smart enough to know how to misdirect the liars and let them put themselves in trouble.
So the journal may have come back to them, but Spencer's pictures of the original show that certain words and phrases have been altered. If these seemingly innocuous changes were made, that must mean that they hold some clue to figuring out who A really is (or who all the As are), who tried to kill Ali, and where she might be hiding.
Now it's time to tell Aria. It's just too bad that now her friends now she's back with Ezra. Next week's installment looks like it will tackle the long awaited moment when Aria finds out. And it's about time.
Did you enjoy the film noir diversion this week?
I never did understand the Emily/ paige pairing considering how Paige treated in the beginning. I don ot and have never liked them together. I cannot get past Paige almost drowning Emily. We are supposed she was just confused about not being openly gay and hiding her "true" feelings for emily but IMO it was all about emily getting the spot on the swim team that Paige wanted. I have a feeling if Ezra, or Toby or Caleb had physically attacked Aria, spencer or hannah people would not be rooting for them together. i find Paige aside form her attack on emily to be quite boring she has very little personality. Since they killed Maya I would have preferred
emily with the blond girl she met and briefly dated I think her name was Samara. I'm hoping sicne the actress who plays Paige is now appearing on Suburgatory maybe Paige will be written out.
First off I gotta say, was it just me or was EzrA creepier in black and white?? I went in expecting not to like it and it was kinda boring but it wasn't as bad as I orginially thought it was going to be, the best and sweetest part was Paig and Emily. It would have been fine if it was an actual episode, not just a dream sequence because like you said it didn't matter none of it happened, except to give Spencer the final clue in putting the pieces together. Now next week's, next week's episode is the one I have been waiting for when Aria finds out. Now that will be an episode. I will say I did like some of the humor put into it and the best line ever was Hannah "it's all about the Aness of things," haha that was awesome and Spencer "I wouldn't have put it quiet like that but hannah is right."
I had pretty low expectations for this episode, but it wasn't as bad as I thought, actually. I would rather have had the plot move on, but I'm hoping there were more clues in the noir dream than just the word changes. Looking forward to next week anyway. Looks like it's going to be a good one!
It was an ok episode I'm just not into the whole black white in the 50s thing and nothing that happened was real it was all in Spencer's head but what I did like was that she already knew everything she just needed to put it together and that dream helped her realize everything. Can't wait till the next episode it looks really good I really want to know what's going to happen with Aria and Ezra.
Was a waist of an episode in my opinion. I knew as soon as I saw the promo for this episode that there was not going to be any real substance in the episode. Kind of like most of the Halloween specials.
You've described this episode well. None of it actually happened. I imagine that because it's coming close to the end of the season, they had to add a filler to make sure the drama happens at the end.
I love Ezra. He is doing a great job of playing all of his roles. I just really hope he's truly in love with Aria. I have recently wondered if he was trying to get involved with one of the girls from the beginning just to get close to their little group or if it's because he was actually taken with her. I'd hate to find out that all of this was because he was actually in love with Alison and not Aria.

Eating Healthier When Eating Out
As spring approaches it is nice to spend some time outdoors enjoying the warm weather. I often find myself walking around Durham or Portsmouth with some friends where we like to catch up at our favorite restaurants. Eating out at a restaurant can be challenging for someone who is trying to eat healthier because of the large portion sizes and the added condiments and dressings. However, there are many ways to maintain healthy eating habits while enjoying time with friends or family at a restaurant. The following are some helpful and simple tips provided by the USDA to make your meals healthier:
- Substitute white for whole-wheat bread
- Start your meal with a salad to help control hunger and feel satisfied sooner
- Ask for salad dressing to be served on the side
- Order steamed, grilled, or broiled dishes instead of fried or sautéed
- If you're with friends, share appetizers instead of ordering entrees
- Ask the waiter or waitress for a takeout box with your meal
Visit the USDA website for more tips on healthy eating while at restaurants. After practicing some of these suggestions you will no longer have to worry about sacrificing your healthy eating habits when going out to eat!

I killed the racists

(wfsb) - Questions are raised after police say Omar Thornton shot and killed eight people before taking his own life at Hartford Distributors on Tuesday morning.
Family members said Thornton was a quiet, hard-working man who wasn't a violent person, but was simply pushed to the breaking point by harassment at work.
Thornton's mother, who lives in East Hartford, said she received a phone call shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday. It was Thornton.
She said he told her he had shot several people at the beer distribution plant where he worked, and that he planned to take his own life. She said she spent 10 minutes trying to talk to her son, pleading with him to change his mind, but she said she couldn't.
Minutes later, Thornton was dead.
"He said, 'I killed the five racists that was there bothering me,'" said Will Holliday, Thornton's uncle. "He said, 'That's it. The cops are going to come in so I'm going to take care of it myself.'"
Holliday said Thornton had been complaining to relatives that in several years he worked at Hartford Distributors he was confronted with blatant racism.
Holliday said, "He had some instances of racism at the company. They were hanging nooses in the bathroom and writing stuff like that. They were singling him out because he was the only black person there in that area."
Thornton's family said he had taken pictures of the threats and said they believe he just snapped Tuesday morning.
They said they expressed condolences to the families of the victims, but they said they were mourning, too.
"This all could have been avoided," Holliday said. "He went to the Union a couple of times with issues concerning what was going on, and it was not dealt with appropriately."
Teamster Jon Hollis flat-out denies any racism or noose. "This is nothing but a guy who flipped out," Hollis said.
Hollis said that tragically, it was the perfect time of day for this to happen. He said Thornton was exposed to 125 people.
Union officials said Thornton entered the business with a rifle and a red satchel filled with ammunition.
One Union officials, who didn't want to be identified, said that Thornton was to be reprimanded for stealing. That officials told Eyewitness News that the alleged stealing was caught on video.
Union representatives said among the dead were Brian Cirigliano, the shop steward for the union. Workers said Cirigliano would have been the one to escort Thornton into the building for Tuesday's disciplinary hearing.
Also killed was Craig Pepin, of South Windsor. A family friend of Pepin's said he recently celebrated his wedding anniversary. The friend said Pepin was a soccer coach and was very popular. According to the friend, Pepin loved his job and never had any work-related problems.
Truck driver Victor James, who had 30 years on the job, was also killed in the mayhem. Gloria Wilson, James' mother, said he would have turned 60 years old this month. She said he loved his job and was planning on retiring soon. Wilson said James had two grown daughters and four grandchildren.
Wilson said before that before James left for work on Tuesday, he kissed her goodbye.
"He went and that was it, I'll never see him again," Wilson said.

West Virginia shocks No. 11 Oklahoma St. 30-21
Updated On: Sep 28 2013 03:34:56 PM CDT
Clint Trickett threw a touchdown pass in his first start at West Virginia, Ishmael Banks returned an interception for a touchdown and the Mountaineers shocked No. 11 Oklahoma State 30-21 on Saturday.
Josh Lambert kicked three field goals for West Virginia (3-2, 1-1 Big 12), which rebounded from its first shutout loss in 11 years to outlast the mistake-prone Cowboys.
Trickett became West Virginia's third starting quarterback this season after Ford Childress was injured last week. Trickett finished 24 of 50 for 309 yards.
But after taking a 24-14 halftime lead, West Virginia was held out of the end zone in the second half and relied on its defense to slow down J.W. Walsh.
Walsh threw three touchdown passes but was intercepted twice.
The Cowboys (3-1, 0-1) were penalized 10 times for 96 yards and had four turnovers - more than their first three games combined.

Its score has increased by 0.8 point from last year, with improvements in freedom from corruption, labor freedom, monetary freedom, and trade freedom largely offset by a significant deterioration in the control of government spending. São Tomé and Príncipe is ranked 38th out of 46 countries in the Sub-Saharan Africa region, and its score is below the world and regional averages.São Tomé and Príncipe's economic freedom was first assessed in the 2009 Index, and its score has advanced since then by 5 points. Notable score improvements have occurred in seven of the 10 economic freedoms, with significant gains in trade freedom, fiscal freedom, and investment freedom. These improvements have been partially offset by a decline in property rights.The island economy has fallen back to the rank of economically "repressed" in recent years. The poor judicial system and lax protection of property rights are damaging prospects for much-needed sustainable economic development and have undermined past years' gains in regulatory efficiency. Read more about São Tomé and Príncipe Economy. Close Background President Manual Pinto da Costa, who served as president for 15 years following independence from Portugal in 1975, returned to office in 2011. Under São Tomé and Príncipe's democratic constitution, the president shares power with a prime minister who requires the confidence of the parliament to retain power. Prime Minister Gabriel Costa, who took office in 2012, is regarded as a consensus builder who may be able to bring stability to an office that has seen 15 incumbents since 1990. Agriculture, particularly cocoa and coffee, dominates the economy, with cocoa accounting for about 95 percent of exports. The government has been encouraging economic diversification and hopes to exploit the billions of barrels of oil that are thought to lie off the coast. Rule of LawView Methodology Property Rights 20.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Freedom From Corruption 32.5 Create a Graph using this measurement Development aid and potential oil wealth have fueled corruption among the ruling elite. Bribery, embezzlement, and mismanagement of public funds are regarded as endemic. The judiciary is independent but weak, underfunded, understaffed, inefficient, and susceptible to persistent political influence. There is no separate commercial court, and backlogs of civil cases cause long delays. Property rights are not protected effectively. Limited GovernmentView Methodology Government Spending 27.9 Create a Graph using this measurement Fiscal Freedom 86.9 Create a Graph using this measurement The top individual income tax rate is 20 percent, and the top corporate tax rate is 25 percent. Other taxes include a sales tax and a dividend tax. The overall tax burden equals 16.8 percent of total domestic income. Government spending is equal to about half of the size of the domestic economy. Public debt is equal to 75 percent of GDP.

However, completing licensing requirements still costs about four times the level of average annual income. In the absence of a well-functioning labor market, informal labor activity remains significant.

Proximity to the Central Business District
Energetic young employees who put in long hours at their jobs will appreciate the ease of access to the Central Business District that living in Downtown Cincinnati offers. The offices of major companies like Fifth Third Bancorp and Kroger, as well as Procter and Gamble, are easy to walk to for those who live along Elm Street or any of the roads that intersect it. Furthermore, the bulk of Cincinnati's bus stops are concentrated in the Downtown area, so it's easy to catch a ride to work if you're running too late to walk.
Of course, a high concentration of businesses means plenty of options for happy hour, too. On the streets of Downtown Cincinnati, you'll find a wealth of bars that offer great after-work specials, and there's a spot for every taste: sports bars like Head First Sports Cafe, Irish pubs like O'Malleys in the Alley and gastropubs like FB's.
Sports and recreation
Avid fans of Cincinnati's sports teams will love living in the city's Downtown district. The stadiums that the Bengals and the Reds call home - Paul Brown Stadium and the Great American Ballpark, respectively - are located just beyond the Central Business District, on the far side of Interstate 71, overlooking the Ohio River. It's a quick walk or bus ride to either of these stadiums right from work or one of the many Cincinnati apartment rentals available in the neighborhood, so you can easily catch a weekday night game.
Downtown also offers a number of resources for Cincinnati residents who prefer participating in sports and outdoor activities over watching them. Smale Riverfront Park lies between the city's two major stadiums, on the banks of the Ohio River. You can enjoy a run, long walk or pickup game in the park - and head over to Moerlein Lager House, located on the park's border, for a pint and some sustenance afterward.
To the northeast of the Great American Ballpark is Yeatsman Cove Park, which also overlooks the Ohio River and features much-loved biking and running trails.
A range of smaller parks located throughout the Downtown area - including Lytle Park, Piatt Park and Washington Park - make it easy for residents to get away from the busy atmosphere of the city and take in some greenery.
Arts, music and culture
Cincinnati has a rich performing arts culture, and Downtown is the center of much of the city's cultural activity.
Tucked into the busy streets of the Central Business District, you'll find a number of art houses, like the Fifth Street Gallery and the Contemporary Arts Center, which features work by local artists and holds small-scale musical performances. Just to the east lies the Taft Museum of Art, a national historic landmark with a collection of Chinese porcelains and paintings by the Old Masters.
The Aronoff Center for the Arts is located between 6th Street and 7th Street and is a great spot to take in a play or musical, as well as more unusual genres like Japanese theater. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Music Hall features classical performances as well as contemporary acts - Bruce Springsteen, Miles Davis, Prince and many other major names have all graced its stage. And, of course, there are a number of great restaurants in and around Downtown, so you can enjoy a meal and a cocktail before or after the show.

Dutch Design Week 2012 of course aimed to impress as usual, but one piece of art that stood out among the other installations happened to be an outdoor, Eindhoven city immersed hot air balloon by Lucas Maassen. Titled "Skyline Bump – baked architecture" this piece is a glowing piece of joy within the dull city architecture.
As a part of the "Unexpected Interactions" exhibit, Maassen set out to create a bold visual feature depicting something between a peeking sun and a cheerful living dome within the dutch city. We would say that he succeeded, especially by giving the Dutch people an extra 30 minutes of light each evening with the 22meter in diameter balloon.

BB&T Is a 'Top Pick' for Investors: Citi
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In the midst of a very strong market rally for bank stocks and an improving interest rate outlook, most large regional names are "no longer cheap," but BB&T (BBT) remains a solid pick, according to Citigroup analyst Keith Horowitz.
Friday's market euphoria following stronger-than-expected job growth numbers pushed the KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) to a 52-week high of 63.94. The index has returned 25% this year, following a 30% return during 2012.
That's a remarkable run. At the end of 2011, it was fairly easy to look at large-cap U.S. bank stocks, with their remarkably low valuations, and say it was time to load up, but now things are getting more difficult.
On the positive side, long-term rates have increased sharply, with the rate on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds increasing to 2.73% on Friday, from 1.70% at the end of April. This promises widening net interest margins for banks, but the large-cap banks will only see an "incremental benefit," according to Horowitz.With "valuations that look full, very limited impact from higher rates on earnings in the near term and the forward curve already assuming 100 bp of rate hikes in 2015," Horowitz in a report on Sunday wrote that "we believe risk/reward is not favorable here and would not chase this rally."
Going With BB&TThere are three large-cap regional banks stocks that Horowitz considers "preferred plays heading into earnings," including BB&T, M&T Bank (MTB) of Buffalo, N.Y., and Wells Fargo (WFC). However, BB&T of Winston-Salem, N.C., is the only one the analyst rates a "buy." BB&T's shares closed at $34.88 Friday, returning 22% this year, following a 19% return during 2012. Those, of course, are stellar numbers, but if you look at the one-year chart at the end of this article, you can see that the shares have significantly underperformed the KBW Bank Index and the S&P 500 (SPX.X) over the 52-week period. A major reason for the underperformance has been investors' discomfort following the Federal Reserve's rejection of BB&T's 2013 capital plan in March, on "qualitative" grounds. The bank submitted its revised plan on June 11, and the Fed will respond by Aug. 25. An approval of the revised plan could serve as a catalyst for the shares.

Awesome! I hope I can move like that at 90.
Me too. Congrats to them.
I hope I run like that when I'm 65. I did keep waiting for one of their legs to crack in half though.
I think Jeff Demps caught up with the other dude and won.
The other dude reminded me of Kerwin Bell running. :grin:
That kick one dude had half way down the track made me think of Usain Bolt. He blew by the other one.
heck I wish I could run like that now, if I ran a hundred yard dash now they'd have to clock me with a calendar!!
On August 8th I climbed Mt. LeConte in the Smokies. I was feeling pretty good about climbing 2,700 ft in five miles until I got to the top and found an 85 year old man having a birthday party with 27 of his closest friends. (He was born on 7/8/28) I don't know what was more impressive the physical accomplishment or having 27 friends willing to climb 3,000 ft for your birthday party. By the way, his daughter told me it took him just over 3 hours. It took her husband a very out of shape 60 something year old 12. Other than less than much less than 12 I ain't telling how long it took me.
8/8/28 I don't know how to edit on the phone.
You would really be impressed with the accomplishments of Earl Shaffer or Grandma Gatewood.
that was not 100M
Yeah, that was a short 100 M. Still very impressive...
At their pace, middle distance strategy came into play. This just in...Ben Johnson's best clean time gets the bronze.

Why do you say this? The trust is that we as flutists, are musicians, and if we truly wish to make beautiful music, we need to make beautiful art! Are we not trying to captivate the audience? Are we not trying to create an image, something beautiful?
Let me address vibrato, for me vibrato is the kind of paint (water color, oil paints etc) we use to put the paint on to the surface of the picture (think of the surface as the individual music competition) we are creating. Now one must be very careful, as some paints and some surfaces do not mix well. We can not use oil paints on water color paper. We must choose the medium and the surface we choose to display the image on very carefully. For example oil paints and water color paper do not mix, just like we can't use a nanny goat vibrato in the JS Bach Partita for Solo Flute. There are many kinds of vibrato: shimmery, a slower kind, fast, slow, etc.
The brush for me is the kind of dynamic we wish to apply to the music composition we are playing. We must be very careful to pick the dynamic of the tone to match the piece. We can't use a liner brush (see more about brushes here) to paint a large wash nor can we use a forte sound when playing the opening phrase of Debussy's Prelude to An Afternoon of Faun. Just as there are many kinds of brushes we can use to paint, there are many dynamics we can use.
The color of the individual paints for me is the sound quality and color of the sound. We must learn to apply the sight sound color and quality to the music we are playing. One can't use a dark, forceful, sound for the opening of Faure's Fantasy. Some flutists think in colors: blue, green, red etc. One can't use a blue color paint to create a realistic image of the Sun. Sound quality could be lyrical, singing (perfect for something like the last movement of the Franck: Sonata) or short and light (for the opening of the Mozart: Concerto, K313)
One most not forget the intonation and a good open sound, for me this is the quality of paint. We do not want to use cheap paint for our painting just like we do not want to use a non supported sound, is which very flat or sharp.
Recently, I have been working on the exposition of the Mozart: Concerto K313 for auditions. Now I have picked the painting surface, this time I will use water color paper. First I choose the dynamic for the first phrase I will play, which could decide if the Orchestra audition panel will want me to proceed to the next round. This is like choosing the brush you want to use for your first brush stroke, we want to create a background wash, so let's use a wash brush. I choose to play at a mezzo forte dynamic. Now I must think of the sound I want to create, a sound that is Mozartian in nature, and respects the Viennese flute school and sound. I think of a warm, bright sound, that is energetic and well support. The first note needs some vibrato to give it energy, the vibrato can't be shimmery or dark, it needs to give it a warm character, that is playful and elegant. I think of a warm golden happy color (such as a cadmium yellow) when playing the opening phrase. I know that for my painting I want to create a a nice warm background, I choose to use a yellow paint and I must use water color paints for this picture. If I tried to use oil paints on the water color paper, it wouldn't work very well. I can't use a slow stagnant vibrato for this phrase, it would not respect the Mozartian school pf playing. Now the most important part of playing the phrasing is to play with a good open sound and intonation. Now that I have formulated how to play the first phrase I am ready to produce it. This to me is similar to the artist placing their first brush stroke on their desired paint surface.
When I think of painting a picture or playing a music composition, I think of painting a beautiful picture. I love thinking of what I want the audience to imagine when the hear the sound of my flute. Recently for example, I've been playing Second Flute for a performance of the New World Symphony. To me the New World Symphony is like the film New World or Pocahontas. I think of the Native American's creeping around, I think of the Wind blowing through Pocahontas's hair, I think of the meeting of John Smith and Pocahontas. Now that I know what I want the audience to imagine when the hear my solos. I use the tools of vibrato, tone color and dynamics to display this.
How do you think tone applies to a music performance?
