Three of the greatest recordings of Bartók's Piano Concertos in new XR remasters
"A performance remarkable for its precision of ensemble, clarity and exactness of detail" - Gramophone
REVIEW Concertos 2 & 3
At very long last we have a worthy recording of the Bartók Second Concerto, a work whose previous interpreters (including the admirable Andor Foldes, whose performance received Bartók's own blessing) have all suffered from recording qualities ranging from indifferent to abysmal. This will be valuable in helping to spread a knowledge of an important work in Bartók's output which is rarely heard in the concert hall, probably because of the ferocious difficulty of the solo part - Bartók seems to have had in mind huge hands with permanent built-in octave and thirds mechanisms. The music does not deserve this neglect, and though it is "tougher" in idiom than the more mellow Third Concerto it has in fact had a consistently successful reception ever since its first performance (by the composer) in 1933. A bravura, lithe work, it abounds in motor energy and in contrapuntal vigour and resource (much of the material of the first movement - which is played entirely without the strings - reappears in inversion, or even in retrograde inversion, in the finale): the central part of the Adagio is a brilliantly fantastic delicate scherzo which looks forward to the Sonata for two pianos and percussion. Soloist and orchestra co-operate in exemplary fashion in a performance remarkable for its precision of ensemble, clarity and exactness of detail: Geza Anda in particular is to be congratulated for the way he romps through all the difficulties. The recording is excellent, the stereo even better than the mono.
There is no lack of recordings of the more popular Third Concerto, but the new one is, to my mind, way ahead of the field. Katchen's suffers from a lukewarm and lack-lustre finale; Haas's from a rather veiled recording; Fischer's (a good one) from a balance excessively favouring the piano, and from what I still feel is over-much rubato in the first movement; Sandor's from a rushed first movement, and over-reverberant recording and some muddy piano passages. Here there is a true balance between piano and orchestra and the performance is mostly very good indeed, with a particularly buoyant fugato in the finale . The ensemble has one lapse - the unison wind passage at figure 76 drags behind a little; and I personally don't care for Anda's rather mannered delivery of the opening subject both at the beginning and at the recapitulation; but otherwise this is entirely recommendable.
L.S., The Gramophone, May 1961
Notes on the recording:
These recordings, drawn from a later DGG pressing which brought together Bartók's three piano concertos and the Piano Rhapsody in a 1970s double-LP, are still prized more than fifty years later as among the very finest interpretations of these works. Brilliant performances were captured very well in fine stereo by Deutsche Grammophon's engineers in the Jesus Christus-Kirche in Berlin.
As has previously been the case with the finest recordings of this era, I had to be certain there was more to be brought out of these recordings through XR remastering before committing fully to this project. A series of extensive transfer and listening tests convinced me that, indeed, there was. Careful pitch stabilisation has helped reduce or eliminate wow, flutter, pitch drift and a noticeable edit in the Third Concerto where the pitch drops from one take to the other. The overall sound is now fuller, richer and clearer, with a hint of the musically-sypatheric acoustic properties of Birmingham Symphony Hall filling out the rather artificially-dry original sound to great effect.

Geza Anda
notes from Wikipedia
Géza Anda (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈɡeːzɒ ˈɒndɒ]; 19 November 1921 – 14 June 1976) was a Hungarian pianist. A celebrated interpreter of classical and romantic repertoire, particularly noted for his performances and recordings of Mozart, he was also a tremendous interpreter of Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms and Bartók. In his heyday he was regarded as an amazing artist, possessed of a beautiful, natural and flawless technique that gave his concerts a unique quality. But since his death in 1976 at the age of fifty-four, his high reputation has faded somewhat from view. Most of his recordings were made on the Deutsche Grammophon label.
Anda was born in 1921 in Budapest. He studied with some of the renowned teachers of the 20th century such as Imre Stefaniai and Imre Keeri-Szanto, and became a pupil of Ernst von Dohnányi and Zoltán Kodály at the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest.[1] In 1940 he won the Liszt Prize, and in the next year, he made an international name for himself with his performance of Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 2.[1] In 1941, he also made his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic under Wilhelm Furtwängler, who dubbed him "troubadour of the piano."[1] In 1943, he settled in Switzerland. He was married to Hortense Bührle, daughter of Emil Georg Bührle (owner Schweiz. Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik and art collector), Zürich.
In the mid-1950s, Anda gave masterclasses at the Salzburg Mozarteum, and in 1960 he took the position of director of the Lucerne masterclasses, succeeding Edwin Fischer. His students included Per Enflo, who later became renowned for his work in mathematical analysis.
As a performer, Anda was particularly noted for his interpretation of Schumann's piano music. The New Grove Dictionary cites his "charismatic readings of Bartók and Schumann".[2] He was regarded as the principal Bartók interpreter of his generation,[3] even if other pianists since his death have made more obviously exciting recordings of that composer's concertos. Although he played very little Mozart in his early career, he became the first pianist to record the full cycle of Mozart's piano concerti; he recorded them between 1961 and 1969, conducting himself from the keyboard.[4]
His performance of the Andante from Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 in C on the soundtrack of the 1967 film Elvira Madigan[5] led to the epithet "Elvira Madigan" often being applied to the concerto.
"From the outset of his career, he was what one might call a philosopher-virtuoso. In his lifelong quest for the perfect balance of head and heart, between intellect and instinct, he explored many facets of music-making."[1] He was honored in 1965 by being named a Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and he also become an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Music in 1970.[6]
He died on 14 June 1976 in Zurich, Switzerland. His cause of death was esophageal cancer.

Ferenc Fricsay
notes from Wikipedia
Ferenc Fricsay ([ˈfɛrɛnts ˈfritʃɒj]; 9 August 1914 – 20 February 1963) was a Hungarian conductor. From 1960 until his death, he was an Austrian citizen.
Fricsay was born in Budapest in 1914 and studied music under Béla Bartók, Zoltán Kodály, Ernst von Dohnányi, and Leo Weiner. With these and other faculty at the Budapest Academy of Music he studied piano, violin, clarinet, trombone, percussion, composition and conducting.[1] Fricsay made his first appearance as a conductor at age 15, substituting for his father at the podium of the Young Musicians Orchestra of Budapest. In 1930, at the age of 16, he succeeded his father as conductor of the Young Musicians Orchestra.[1]
On graduating in 1933, Fricsay became repetiteur for the chorus of the Budapest Opera;[2] then, from 1933 to 1943, he was music director of the Szeged Philharmonic Orchestra (Szeged is the third largest city in Hungary); he also served as director of its military band from 1933. In 1942, he was court-martialed by the government of Miklós Horthy for wanting to employ Jewish musicians, and for having "Jewish blood" himself (according to reliable reports, his mother was Jewish).[2] When the Nazis occupied Hungary in 1944, the chief editor of the Szeged daily newspaper warned Fricsay that the Gestapo planned to arrest him; he and his wife and three children avoided this fate by going underground in Budapest.
In 1945, secret emissaries offered him the co-directorship of the Metropolitan Orchestra of Budapest (later Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra ); he also became principal conductor of the Budapest Opera. He conducted opera at the Vienna Volksoper and at the Salzburg Festival in the late 1940s, including world premieres in Salzburg of operas by Gottfried von Einem ( "Danton's Tod" in 1947) and by Frank Martin ("Zaubertrank" in 1948). The enthusiastic reception of Fricsay's work on this international stage led to his being appointed Chief Conductor of the Berlin RIAS Symphony Orchestra and General Music Director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, from 1949–1952, performing then in the Theater des Westens. He made his United Kingdom debut at the 1950 Edinburgh Festival, leading the Glyndebourne Opera in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro. He made his Buenos Aires debut that year with Carmina Burana. In 1951 he made his debuts in Italy and with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. In 1953 he made his debuts in Paris, Milan, Lucerne, and the USA, where he conducted the Boston Symphony Orchestra and San Francisco Symphony. He was appointed musical director of the Houston Symphony in 1954, but resigned halfway through the season over "disagreements on musical policy."[3] He made his debut with the Israel Philharmonic in 1954. He spent much of his time from the 1950s onward in Germany as music director of the Bavarian State Opera (1956–1958) and as conductor of the RIAS Symphony Orchestra, the Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Berlin Philharmonic. Also in 1956, he was appointed General Music Director of the Munich Court Opera, a position he held until 1958.
Fricsay gave his last concert on 7 December 1961 in London where he conducted the London Philharmonic Orchestra in Beethoven's Symphony No. 7. He suffered from repeated illnesses throughout his life and finally succumbed to cancer of the stomach on 20 February 1963 at the age of 48 in Basel, Switzerland.
Fricsay was known for his interpretations of the music of Mozart and Beethoven, as well as that of his teachers Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály. His 1958 recording of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 is featured in the movie A Clockwork Orange. He conducted without a baton, according to the entry in New Grove, but "confounded the adverse critics of this technique by the extreme clarity and precision of his performances," to which it also ascribes "a dynamic spirit" and "vividness of character in familiar classics."
From the 1950s until his death, he recorded for the Deutsche Grammophon record label. He led the inauguration of the rebuilt Deutsche Oper Berlin with a performance of Don Giovanni on September 24, 1961.[3] A video of this performance has been issued on DVD.

Kass: A Summary of My Bearishness
My view is that it will continue to be different this time as the typical self-sustaining economic recovery of the past will not be repeated for 10 important reasons.
- Cost cuts are a corporate lifeline and so is fiscal stimulus, but both have a defined and limited life.
- Cost cuts (exacerbated by wage deflation) pose an enduring threat to the consumer, which is still the most significant contributor to domestic growth.
- The consumer entered the current downcycle exposed and levered to the hilt, and net worths have been damaged and will need to be repaired through higher savings and lower consumption.
- The credit aftershock will continue to haunt the economy.
- The effect of the Fed's monetarist experiment and its impact on investing and spending still remain uncertain.
- While the housing market has stabilized, its recovery will be muted, and there are few growth drivers to replace the important role taken by the real estate markets in the prior upturn.
- Commercial real estate has only begun to enter a cyclical downturn.
- While the public works component of public policy is a stimulant, the impact might be more muted than is generally recognized. There may be less than meets the eye as most of the current fiscal policy initiatives represent transfer payments that have a negative multiplier and create work disincentives.
- Municipalities have historically provided economic stability -- no more.
- Federal, state and local taxes will be rising as the deficit must eventually be funded, and high-tax health and energy bills also loom.
"The balance of financial terror ... is a situation where weAmong the non-traditional headwinds listed above, a burgeoning fiscal deficit and the financial instability of our state and local municipalities are among two of the most significant challenges that face consumers, corporations and investors. Though the bulls generally agree with the presence of these intermediate-term challenges (especially the spiraling deficit and a nervous U.S. dollar stalemate), they generally dismiss them both over the short term, favoring the belief that the current upside surprises in earnings will dominate the market landscape in influence. I would argue that the aforementioned challenges are ever more predictable in consequence and will serve as a governor to further gains in market valuations. An avalanche of spending by the public sector is now following an avalanche of spending by the private sector. In essence, we are (perhaps necessarily) fighting the slowdown with the same sort of incendiary kerosene that put us into the mess. Profligate spending comes at a cost, a cost that we will experience sooner than later. It is only a matter of time before policy makers address the financing of this accumulated debt and the great reflation experiment of 2009 by raising taxes significantly. We have already witnessed the start of what is likely to become an avalanche of changing tax policy. New York City imposed its first sales tax increase in 35 years (rising from 8.375% to 8.875%), and, on the same day, the state of New Jersey imposed an additional tax hike on wholesale liquor distributors' sales of liquor and wine, which is sure to be passed on to the consumer. In Oakland, Calif., even the "high life" is being taxed as the city has recently passed a tax on marijuana sales and the state of California appears to be close in following Oakland's example.
in the U.S.rely on the cost to others of not financing our current account deficit as assurance that financing will continue." -- Lawrence Summers

This account was designed specifically for investment of excess funds on a daily basis to enable you to earn a competitive rate of interest via overnight purchase of government securities. With this arrangement, there is an agreement to repurchase the securities on the following business day. This account allows liquidity of funds as needed while it provides for maximum investment opportunities. A collected compensating balance is determined for the General Operating Account to cover all activity fees. Confirmation of the transactions and interest earned under this arrangement are provided daily with a Summary Statement at month end.
*This account is not FDIC insured.
This service was designed for companies that maintain a general operating account as well as separate accounts for payroll, petty cash, etc. With this service, all of your funds are concentrated into one general operating account and as items are presented for payment from subsidiary accounts, funds are automatically transferred from the operating account to cover them. The account balance of the subsidiary accounts, therefore will always maintain a zero balance. This service allows you to maximize your investment opportunity and minimizes the administrative time required to monitor multiple accounts and make the transfers needed. A collected compensating balance is determined for the combination of activity in all accounts and excess funds earn interest at a competitive market rate. For municipalities, these funds are collateralized by the State Treasurer's Pooling Method.

St John's wort
This page tells you about the use of St John's wort in people with cancer. There is information about
St John's wort is a plant with yellow flowers. Other names for this herb include hypericum, goatweed, klamath weed and tipton weed. The scientific name is Hypericum perforatum.
St John's wort is a herbal remedy made from the flowers of the plant of the same name. It is a popular complementary therapy for mild to moderate depression. There is some scientific evidence to show that St John's wort can help to reduce mild or moderate depression. But there are also concerns about
- Possible side effects
- Interference with other drugs, such as some chemotherapy and biological therapies
Scientists believe that chemicals in the brain (neurotransmitters) play a part in causing depression. Two of the active ingredients in St John's wort – hypericin and hyperforin – may change the activity of these neurotransmitters.
St John's wort has been used for hundreds of years for other health conditions but there is currently no scientific evidence that it works for
- Anxiety
- Tiredness (fatigue)
- Pre menstrual symptoms
- Stomach problems
- Difficulty sleeping
- Malaria
- Kidney problems
- Skin wounds and burns (used as a balm)
- Nerve pain
About 25 out of every 100 people with cancer get depressed soon after they are diagnosed or after finishing their treatment.
It is quite normal to feel this way. It is not surprising that people who have cancer and feel very sad look for ways to help treat their depression. The press has often reported St John's wort as a wonder drug to treat depression and help people to feel better.
Many people also see St John's wort as a non toxic and natural therapy that is safe to use. People with cancer may also use St John's wort rather than talk to their doctor about feeling sad or depressed. You can get it over the counter without a prescription. But you do need to be careful. Generally the side effects of St John's wort are mild but it can interact with some other types of drugs so it is important to check with your doctor before taking it. You shouldn't take St John's wort with other anti depressants or with some chemotherapy or biological therapy drugs. It can also make the contraceptive pill work less well.
There is general information about the safety of herbal remedies in this section.
If you have symptoms of depression, it might be hard to talk to your doctor or specialist nurse. But they will be willing to listen and will want to help you through this difficult time. They can advise you about many ways of treating depression that don't always involve taking drugs. We have information about treatment for depression in our section about coping physically with cancer.
Always check with your doctor or pharmacist before you start using any type of complementary or alternative treatment and try to find out all you can about the therapy before deciding to use it.
You may also find it helpful to read the following sections from our complementary therapy section
St John's wort comes as
- Capsules
- Tablets
- A powder
- Tinctures
- A liquid extract
- Tea bags
You can buy various St John's wort products in health food stores, chemists and over the internet. They may contain different amounts and types of extracts of St John's wort. In Europe it is important to buy only products that are registered under the Traditional Herbal Remedies (THR) scheme. Remedies that are registered under the scheme have a THR mark and symbol on the packaging. THR products have been tested for quality and safety.
Several studies have looked at St John's wort as a treatment for depression and compared it to other anti depressant drugs. This includes several large randomised clinical trials. Much of that research shows that certain extracts from St John's wort can help treat mild to moderate depression. These studies suggest that it is
- More effective than a placebo
- As effective as standard anti depressant drugs
The Cochrane Collaboration carry out systematic reviews of phase 3 trials. This means they pull all the results of related trials together. They looked at all the trials that have used St John's wort as a treatment for depression. You can see this review on St John's wort and depression on The Cochrane Library website. It says that extracts of St. John's wort are prescribed widely to treat depression. They seem to work as well as standard anti depressants for treating mild to moderate depressive symptoms. Side effects are mild and not common. But it does not seem so helpful for treating major depression.
Scientists are also looking at using St John's wort for other mental health conditions such as anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. There is also research into the safety of St John's wort, and how it interacts with other drugs. You can see a list of the current trials investigating St John's wort on the National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) website.
A few laboratory studies are testing some substances from St. John's wort to see whether they could work as cancer treatments. But this is very early research and these substances have not yet been tested in humans.
Side effects aren't common but it may cause
- Stomach upsets
- Increased sensitivity to sunlight
- Tiredness
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Constipation
- Sleep disturbances
- Dry mouth
We don't know whether any of these side effects are long or short term. Side effects are usually mild. But as extracts of St. John's wort can influence the effects of other drugs, you should talk to your doctor before using St. John's wort.
If you are taking St John's wort, avoid going out in strong sunlight, and don't use tanning beds. There are a few reports of people developing a skin rash while taking St John's wort.
St John's wort can change how well some drugs work, making them either stronger or weaker. You can have some very serious side effects if you take St John's wort with these drugs. If you are planning to take St John's wort, it is very important to talk to your doctor first.
St John's wort can interact with other types of anti depressants. It can increase the activity of a chemical called serotonin in your brain. This can cause confusion, hallucinations, sweating, feeling and being sick and a high temperature (fever).
St John's wort can make contraceptives work less well. This includes the pill and injectable hormone contraceptives. This can increase the risk of having an unplanned pregnancy.
St John's wort can make you feel very drowsy if you take it with alcohol, drugs to help you sleep, strong painkillers or some sedatives.
We know that St John's wort can interact with these groups of drugs and may affect how well they work
- Cancer drugs such as irinotecan, docetaxel and imatinib
- Some HIV drugs
- Some epilepsy drugs
- Blood thinning drugs such as warfarin
- Heart medications such as digoxin
- Drugs to treat diarrhoea, such as loperamide hydrochloride
- An asthma medicine called theophylline
- Ciclosporin – a drug to prevent organ transplant rejection
Research is also being carried out to find out if St John's wort interacts with other drugs, such as strong opioid painkillers.
You shouldn't take St John's wort if you
- Take other types of anti depressant medications
- Have manic depression (bipolar disorder)
- Are taking any of the medicines listed in the section on the drugs St John's wort may affect
You should not take St John's wort if you are pregnant as it can increase womb contractions and may increase the risk of miscarriage. You should not take St John's wort if you are breastfeeding as it can pass into your breast milk.
If you are going to have an anaesthetic you need to stop taking St John's wort at least a week before your surgery.
If you are taking any medicines that are not mentioned in the list above you should talk to your doctor before you start using St John's wort.
This varies depending on
- The dosage
- The amount you buy
- Where you buy it (health food shops, chemist or online)
Generally it isn't very expensive (between £3 and £7 for 60 capsules). If you buy online the prices can vary quite a lot.

Festival Antigo-outtakes…Summer Theatre
Posted by Simply Ducky | September 15, 2011
As usual, I humbly come to you with my bumbling antics and stock of the best tongue-twisting trip-up for this, my Festival Antigonish Summer Theatre outtake reel. However, this time there is a slightly different twist to the typical collection of bloopers – with special thanks to Tina Dickieson.
Check out the video here to see what I mean…

Pakistani paceman Mohammad Asif returned early Friday from Dubai saying he was happy to be back home after three weeks under detention in the Gulf emirate on drug charges. The 25-year-old bowler was held at Dubai airport on June 1 while returning home from a domestic tournament in India, and charged with possessing a small amount of opium. But Dubai public prosecutors dropped the case on Thursday citing "insignificance" and announced he would be deported to Pakistan. "I am relieved to have returned to my country," Asif told reporters at the Lahore international airport and denied that he was guilty of transporting any contraband. He arrived at Karachi international airport Friday morning, before being whisked to a domestic terminal for a flight to the eastern city of Lahore. "I have not used any banned item. I was tested twice during my stint in (the Indian domestic tournament) and had there been something wrong the ICC (International Cricket Council) would have banned me," said Asif. Asif thanked the Pakistan Cricket Board and the country's ambassador in the United Arab Emirates for their help and cooperation. "I am thankful to the Pakistan ambassador in the UAE Ahsanullah Khan and PCB official Nadeem Akram who came to Dubai to assist me, and of course the board which did its best to encourage me during this difficult time," he said. The PCB said it would form a three-member inquiry committee to probe the incident. Asif was due to meet PCB chief Nasim Ashraf later Friday, an official said. The PCB earlier welcomed Asif's release, saying it was "relieved that his ordeal is over." "We appreciate the professional manner in which the whole issue was dealt with by the Dubai police, prosecution department and the United Arab Emirates authorities," it said in a statement. "The drug tests conducted on Asif during the investigations in Dubai were clear and negative for any contraband substance," the statement said. The Federal Investigation Authority in Pakistan said last week they will also deal with Asif under their rules and regulations. Mohammad Al Nuaimi, the Dubai prosecutor who handled the charges, said on Thursday it was "definite that he committed the crime of smuggling and possessing 0.24 grams of opium as he was caught red-handed. "However in certain cases and for a faster litigation process the public prosecution drops a case due to insignificance and deports the suspect," he said, according to the online version of the local daily Gulf News. Asif was also banned for one year after he and fellow paceman Shoaib Akhtar tested positive for nandrolone in September 2006. Akhtar was banned for two years however the punishments were later overturned on appeal. Asif, who has claimed 51 wickets in 11 Test matches and 36 wickets in 31 one-day internationals, was dropped from the team after being initially named in the 16-man squad for the tri-series in Bangladesh. Pakistan won the tri-series beating India by 25 runs in the June 14 final.

PCB confirm Asif opium chargeKARACHI (Reuters) - Fast bowler Mohammad Asif was detained at Dubai airport this year for possessing opium, the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) three-man inquiry committee said on Tuesday. "During the course of our investigation we went through the report of the Dubai authorities and they said Asif had a small quantity of opium on him when he was detained," Shafqat Naghmi told Reuters.
UAE to deport Mohammad AsifPakistan paceman Mohammad Asif will soon be deported from the United Arab Emirates after Dubai Public prosecutors dropped drug possession charges against him, an official said Thursday. The 25-year-old fast bowler was seized at Dubai airport on June 1 on charges of possessing an illegal drug while returning home from India after featuring in a domestic tournament.
Asif's case to be heard on June 22A top Dubai legal officer will begin an inquiry in the Gulf state next week into the drug case against Pakistan paceman Mohammad Asif, an official said Friday. The attorney general of the emirate, where the 25-year-old paceman was detained June 1 as he was returning home from India after featuring in a cricket event, will conduct the inquiry.

Special thanks to everyone who's donated or continued to kick in on the Patreon. You're a huge help.
Everyone else, let's get to $250 already — I want to share Traildust!
Special thanks to everyone who's donated or continued to kick in on the Patreon. You're a huge help.
Everyone else, let's get to $250 already — I want to share Traildust!
I just got this very excellent Vane portrait from manifold Art Contest contributor Slinky, who draws funny pictures at A Terrible Mind.
It's a great capture (right down to the expression, and the unhealed scrapes on Black's face!) and I was super stoked to receive and share it.
The number of submissions to the annual art contest has been trending downward, and this year's perfect storm of guest comic and unsurprising prizes has probably not helped. Fortunately the quality of submissions was once again excellent, and even with so few it really wasn't any easier to judge.
I wish I had time to gush and comment more on these; I deeply appreciate the time and thought that went into all of them.
All images can be clicked and viewed larger (where possible) and I'd urge you to go ahead and do so and check out these folks' work in better detail.
Karyl Lee
Two Sides of a [Pumpkin!]
2013 Contest winner Karyl Lee is a NTO Art Contest superstar, overachieving with multiple, multimedia pieces every year. 2014's no different – she made good on her 2012 idea for an NTO-themed pumpkin this year with a two-faced Jack-O-Lantern featuring Genevieve's Author and Demon on opposing sides. Great work as always — I would love to see this lit. You can own some of Karyl's work be paying a visit to her Etsy or Yessy galleries.
Bethany Joseph
Bethany Joseph draws a uniquely scheming Vane Black; her take on the character is a great capture of her mad scientist aspects. The watercolor background is totally great, too: rosy desert colors and rough-hewn landscape really make the dark, saturated subject pop. Great piece.
Find more of her stuff at her [really quite entertaining] comics blog.
S. Pwyll
Sunbloom / Dream Girl
S. Pwyll submitted two great watercolor entries. In his own words, the Vane/Nightmare Before Christmas fusion is only a "speed sketch"; the main attraction is the Sun Prairie Sun flower (which, actually, Pwyll also described as "slightly less than half-finished"; looks pretty great to me). He styled it a la Georgia O'Keefe – cool enough concept for NTO art by itself – but what's extra awesome about trying to emulate O'Keefe painting a Sun flower is that the NTO town of Sun Prairie is named after the small town of Sun Prairie in my native Wisconsin – Georgia O'Keefe's birthplace. The coincidence is almost as fantastic as the painting.
More of Mr. Pwyll's work can be found on his deviantArt. Great work and congratulations!
Jessica Shainker
Some Say in Fire, Some Say in Ice
Jessica Shainker's study in contrasts is a super clever breakdown of all the thematic opposites at play with Black & Hunter. I love the black and white, positive and negative composition but most especially the strategic splashes of color that call out their eyes – inversions of their elemental characters. Nicely done and congratulations!
Erin Smith
Vane and Diamonds in the Rain
Erin Smith's fabulously melancholy painting of Diamonds and Vane is this year's winner. Awesome use of negative space finds them looking off into rain-obscured desolation, which is ominous not only for what we don't see but what we know is coming, since this can't help but evoke the lead-up to Diamonds' unfortunate "end" in Wayward. Vane almost looks like she's just about to swing into the saddle, too, bringing the inevitability that much closer. Great painting!
You can check out more of Erin's work at her tumblr.
Thank you so much for the most excellent submission and congratulations!
And there we are! Lean year for entries but nevertheless the art contest really remains a huge pick-me-up and slightly late birthday gift for me: seeing folks involved enough in the comic to put in this kind of work always inspires and revitalizes me.
Winners, I'll contact you soon about prize preferences and mailing addresses!
Fondest regards,
I've been getting a lot of questions about coloring lately, requests for tutorials, that kind of thing. I think the quiet in the NTO blog and the time elapsed since this was first posted in the Patron-only feed are now sufficient to share this, a basic breakdown of my coloring process on NTO's very first page. This is the kind of thing I try to share semi-frequently (though never enough!) with NTO's very gracious patrons.
… and hey! Don't forget the Art Contest! Only 10 days left!
I hope you've primed yourself with plenty of pumpkin spice latte because it's that time: the annual Next Town Over art contest.
As ever, anyone can enter (although after last year not anyone can win — see rules below) and any medium is welcome, although I aim to include three winning entries in Next Town Over Volume 2 — with full accreditation, natch — so if you go crazy avant garde you're still eligible to win but obviously I can't include songs or installations in the book. All entries will be featured here on the site, though, with a link back to their creators' sites/pages.
One grand prize winner will receive:
Two runners-up will win:
And all you have to do is follow the guidelines (well, and win, too of course):
If you have any questions please let me know in the comments and I'll be happy to answer them.
Have fun, get creative, and don't hesitate to post your project (or let folks know about the contest) on your site/blog/facebook/Twitter.
As always, I cannot wait to see what you guys come up with. My birthday is in October and this has become my favorite present.
You can check out 2012's amazing entries here, and 2013's here.
Next Town Over finally has nationwide distribution!
Volume 1: Maybe Next Time is now available for preorder through Diamond! Tell your friends — more importantly, tell your local retailer! It's a huge help to me, the comic, and any future publishing efforts.

Bradley Loyola Chicago 68-65 tonight.
Twitter: @ChrisMWilliams
Facebook: Cyclone Fanatic
Ouch indeed, makes them in our catagory!
They should fire their coach...that would be the logical next step.
This is horrible news. If we win by less than 30, you will see the bawlers screaming for GMac's head because we could barely beat a team that lost to Loyola of Chicago.
And yes, their coach should be fired for this.
This kills our RPI even more
If you have a problem - if no one else can help - and if you can find
them - maybe you can hire: The A-Team.
Obviously they were looking ahead to our game , or they miss Dodie

Beating Duke will off-set this problem.
I told you that they were up and down. They beat Illinois, and then lose to Loyola (btw, it was a half court shot at the buzzer, lol).

Not only should the coach get canned, but the AD as well. No excuse to lose like that.
So they're inconsistent, and an up-tempo team, right? Those two can go together.
So, jump on them early with a healthy introduction to Mr. Brackins, sprinkle in some Lucca, and then a nice party at the rim starring Dendy and Gilstrap.
Since we are an elite team now, let's go get that One Cyclone Moment.
Make this one for the ages!
Great, now they will come into Ames angry.
Loyola isn't bad. They're a solid 8-2 and better than any team we have beaten up to this point. Bradley is still going to be an extremely tough game. Time to fan-up, show-up, and cheer loud!
Loyola (IL) has an RPI 99 spots ahead of ours.

3 of those wins are against DII competition
I'm not feeling good about this one. They come to Ames desperate for a win... so are we but in our case it doesn't seem to matter.
The Hawkeyes, who have lost six of their last seven games, were given a No. 11 seed and will be involved in one of the four first-round games by virtue of being one of the last four at-large teams to make the field. Its not a &%#$@%* play-in game! McCaffery said when a reporter phrased it that way. McCaffery then hurled a bottle of G2 into the face of the reporter stating "you #$%*&@ idiot!".

First Development Education Class of 2007 Graduates 42 Credit Union Leaders
National Credit Union Foundation to Sponsor Another DE Class in August
With a send-off from Mississippi Credit Union Association President Charles Elliott, credit union leaders graduated last week from the six-day Credit Union
Development Education
(DE) Training sponsored by the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF).
Participants from April 12-17 included credit union employees and board members from the U.S., Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Scotland, Trinidad, United Kingdom, and Zimbabwe, as well as credit union business partners and trade association staff.
Elliott, a graduate of the DE Class of 1984, spoke at the graduation ceremony on Madison's Credit Union Campus. He reflected on his experiences as a DE, weathering the storm of Katrina since 2005. "DE changed my life twice: once in 1984 and again after Katrina. DE is the reason I'm standing here today."
The DE program's mission is to promote credit unions' social responsibility through interactive adult education and networking. Throughout the training, participants learn about national and international issues affecting people around the world. Teams are required to not only choose a subject for research, but complete a final project that proposes solutions for how credit unions can help alleviate or eliminate challenging situations in any given area.
This year's six final projects were to:
Establish credit unions in the rebuilding of Iraq;
Decide whether to merge or not to merge a small CU with a large CU;
Decide whether to convert or not to convert a CU to a mutual bank;
Plan to serve a low-income community;
Design a national CU brand campaign;
Recommend how NCUA should define the term "modest means" or why it should not.
Almost 700 graduates have now earned the designation of Credit Union Development Educator (CUDE). Graduates support socially responsible programs throughout the world in such areas as youth and family finances, partnerships with international credit union development, development of low-income designated credit unions, and outreach to the underserved.
"When DE Training is over, people leave revitalized," says DE Program Director Tom Decker. "They leave with a clear understanding that societal issues are, indeed, global, and that credit unions have the unique ability to improve the lives of people everywhere."
Second Class this Year
NCUF recently expanded the
waiting list
for others who want to experience DE Training from August 23-28 at

Development Education
NCUF is committed to offering two DE Training classes each year from now on, in order to allow twice as many credit union leaders each year to experience a total immersion in cooperative principles and credit union philosophy.
"There is growing demand for training that provides a contemporary perspective on how the cooperative business model of social responsibility and community outreach can help credit unions survive," observes NCUF Executive Director Steve Delfin. "DE Training and our new Social Impact Management Institutes will demonstrate how credit unions can leverage their value in today's marketplace."

Ital to Release New EP via Planet Mu
- Words: Taylor Fife
After dropping records this year on Not Not Fun and 100% Silk, Brooklyn-based producer Ital (a.k.a. Daniel Martin-McCormick) is set to release a five-song EP on Planet Mu early next year. Hive Mind will see Ital continuing his sneakily weird and oddly danceable electronic subversions, the creation of which he described in detail during his recent B2B conversation with Magic Touch (a.k.a. Damon Palermo, Martin-McCormick's partner in Mi Ami). The EP won't come out until February 13 of next year, but you can check out the artwork and tracklist below.

I am an Asperger wife for I am married to a man who has Asperger Syndrome. We have known each other over 18 years and have been married for 12 of those years.
I'd never heard of Asperger Syndrome, and never had an autistic family member, therefore it took 15 years for me to find out the reason for my husband's odd behavior. It was discovered only by accident as happens with so many. If I had known earlier, it might have been easier to handle. When you don't know what it is you're fighting, you can't possibly know how to deal with it. I wrestled for years with some unknown presence that seemed to affect every aspect of our relationship.
Those years in the dark, left me with feelings of self-doubt, insecurity, and total worthlessness. I cried many nights, thinking it was something awful about me that caused my husband's rejection, when in reality, it was AS.
I'm normally a private person, keeping things to myself, but one day I was reminded that what we learn through our trials in life should not be wasted, but used to help others. That is my hope for this website.
An NT (neuro-typical)/AS (Asperger Syndrome) relationship is never easy, no matter what you may have heard or envisioned. If you are fresh into a relationship with an Aspie, my story may open your eyes as to the difficulties that could lay ahead should you move forward.
An NT/AS relationship can work, but it will never be what people would consider "normal." Aspies can hide their problems for awhile, but they eventually surface and it is then that the conflicts for the NT partner begins.
It is not my intent to offend any Aspies who visit this site, but I guess it's inevitable, as I open up and reveal what I've learned about my husband. While I'm aware that every Aspie is different, there are still certain characteristics that are common to all.
I am not an expert on Asperger's and can only speak from my own experience. There are many other websites that can give you information on the subject of AS itself. This website is mainly to provide support and a shoulder to lean on when someone finds themselves hurting in an NT/AS relationship.
Please stick around and join in the forum or blog discussions. Your input is appreciated. There are just two rules when commenting: 1. No profanity, and 2. Please use the Golden Rule.
Thank you for visiting.
Wishing you all the best life has to offer.
Asperger Wife
Please note: The names used have been changed to protect our privacy and to not cause embarrassment to my husband or others.
Asperger syndrome (AS) is a developmental disorder--an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), one of a distinct group of neurological conditions characterized by a greater or lesser degree of impairment in language and communication skills, as well as repetitive or restrictive patterns of thought and behavior. Unlike children with autism, children with AS retain their early language skills.
The most distinguishing symptom of AS is a child?s obsessive interest in a single object or topic to the exclusion of any other. Children with AS want to know everything about their topic of interest and their conversations with others will be about little else. Their expertise, high level of vocabulary, and formal speech patterns make them seem like little professors. Other characteristics of AS include repetitive routines or rituals; peculiarities in speech and language; socially and emotionally inappropriate behavior and the inability to interact successfully with peers; problems with non-verbal communication; and clumsy and uncoordinated motor movements.
Children with AS are isolated because of their poor social skills
and narrow interests. They may approach other people, but make normal conversation impossible by inappropriate or eccentric behavior, or by wanting only to talk about their singular interest.
Children with AS usually have a history of developmental delays in motor skills such as pedaling a bike, catching a ball, or climbing outdoor play equipment. They are often awkward and poorly coordinated with a walk that can appear either stilted or bouncy. Many children with AS are often bullied by their peers.
People with Asperger's...
People with Asperger's may display some or all
of the following characteristics:
An Aspie relationship may be extremely
difficult, but it can work.
This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see."
― Corrie ten Boom, The Hiding Place
--Anais Nin
TAKE MY HAND FOR AWHILE (as sung by Buffy St. Marie)
Take my hand for a while
Explain it to me once again
Just for the sake
Of my broken heart
Look into my eyes
And maybe I will understand
How love I counted on
Was never there
You see, I thought
That you might love me
So you caught me, it seems
Off balance with a heart so full
Of love and pretty dreams
That two should share
And so, I know
But please before you go
Take my hand for a while
Explain it to me once again
Just for the sake
Of my broken heart
What God Has Promised
by: Annie Johnson Flint
God has not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God has not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
God has not promised we shall not know,
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;
He has not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.
But God has promised strength for the day,
Rest for the laborer, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

Report: Celtics prepping package for Marcin Gortat
Danny Ainge has never really been the kind of GM who allows problems to fester. For better or worse, Ainge would rather tinker than allow an issue to rest.
SB Nation Boston's Gethin Coolbaugh is reporting (from a translated Polish news outlet) that the Celtics are trying to deal for Phoenix Suns' center Marcin Gortat sooner rather than later.
The Boston Celtics will reportedly submit a trade proposal to the Phoenix Suns in effort to acquire center Marcin Gortat, according to Przeglad Sportowy and translated by King James Gospel.
"The Phoenix Suns are willing to exchange (Gortat to) the Boston Celtics, who are soon to submit a concrete proposal."
We covered the initial rumors here, and with those rumors we also discussed the obvious benefits of bringing Gortat to Boston. Gortat is a good P&R center, one who would benefit from playing with Rajon Rondo. He is a decent defender (albeit playing on a bad defensive team in Phoenix) who grabs a lot of rebounds, 23.8% of all available defensive rebounds. The highest defensive rebound percentage on the Celtics right now belongs to Jared Sullinger at 21.7.
But the Celtics don't have very many players available for trade at the moment. Here's a list of unavailable assets.
Unavailable before December 15
- Chris Wilcox
- Jason Collins
- Courtney Lee
- Jason Terry
Unavailable before January 15
- Jeff Green
- Brandon Bass
Unavailable before January 18
- Leandro Barbosa
Unavailable because of no-trade clause (and we would never ever ever trade him anyway)
- Kevin Garnett
Safely assuming that Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce are off the table, that leaves Avery Bradley and the rookies. Jared Sullinger's early season success may gather some interest, but Phoenix has Luis Scola and Markieff Morris and very little need for another young power forward.
And, from Red's Army, there's this: No deal that the Celtics can CURRENTLY make would actually work.
- Marcin Gortat makes $7.2 million. The Celtics need to get within 125% of that to make the trade work.
- All the guys that make that happen can't be traded until December 15 at the earliest… and some later than that. Courtney Lee and Jason Terry can't be traded until December 15, and Jeff Green and Brandon Bass can't be traded until January 15.
There's no doubt Gortat would be a useful piece for the Celtics. But at what price? Are we REALLY willing to give up Avery Bradley? And can Phoenix be convinced to wait until December 15 (at the earliest) for other assets to come available?
Danny Ainge gained quite a bit of leeway from a very successful offseason. Let's hope he doesn't spend it all in one place.

Let's go get him. Gortat, Garnett and Sullinger. Now that's some rebounders for us. I'd think about letting AB go as he has proven to be injury prone. He is not the second coming like people make him out to be. We got enough quality guards as is and need to get some size on this squad. Danny need to pull a rabbit out the hat for this one.

i'd rather take anderson varejao, rather than that bald gortat, gortat can't stop lbj, pick and roll with rondo might help and so is jason terry but, i don't see gortat helpful to the celtics team, maybe he can score 22 points a game but 4 or 6 or 6 rebounds + 2 or 3 or 4 blocks a game wont help
Like or Dislike: 0 0
Ure on drugs…who in the league can stop LBJ? U can't let that guy do what he wants when attacking the rim. There needs to be a sizeable presence in the paint to let LBJ know that he can't just gun to the hoop anytime he feels like it. Size is exactly what this team needs. Gortat is a quality big man. Him being bald has nothing to do with how he could help this team. Hope we get him and his bald head…
Like or Dislike: 0 0
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Phoenix under the cap, hence not limited to the 125% restriction? As long as the trade doesn't put them over the cap, I think we should be good to go.
Like or Dislike: 0 0
I will be disappointed if the C's go for this one. Danny worked hard over the summer to throw together a group that can compete for a title now AND build for the future.
Sure, a solid low-post presence would be nice but let's have some patience and see where this group can go. There's going to be plenty of meat on the banquet table in January when we will have a better idea of what we do and don't need.
Like or Dislike: 0 0
Don't do it, wait for a better big man. Stop trading unless its a sure thing….

WASHINGTON, November 5, 2013 — An international campaign is garnering attention with an effort centered around the slogan "Who is Hussain?" The question is directing focus to the historical (7th century CE) Imam Hussain, the grandson of Islam's Prophet Muhammad. Muslims around the world focus their attention on Imam Hussain during this time of the year, which corresponds to the Islamic calendar month of "Muharram."
Imam Hussain is particularly known for his stand against the Umayyad Empire, whom he strongly protested for engaging in extremism and for violating precepts of Islamic belief.
SEE RELATED: Americans performing Hajj attacked in Saudi Arabia
In response, armies of the Empire brutally slaughtered Imam Hussain and dozens of members of Prophet Muhammad's family in the city of Karbala (located in modern day Iraq). Muslims today see the event as a turning point in Islamic history, and it is often cited by experts as the "line in the sand" between Muslims who are firmly anti-extremist, and those that utilize violence to accomplish their goals.
The question of "Who is Hussain?" itself has been tangentially present in the media, as it is the well-publicized middle name of President Obama, who uses the alternative spelling "Hussein."
The campaign also capitalizes on the worldwide attention on the beliefs and practices of Shiite Muslims, who particularly venerate Imam Hussain as one of the successors to Prophet Muhammad, and leader of the worldwide Muslim community. Shiites, during Muharram, typically hold a series of Majlis (Arabic for "gatherings") in which poetry and lectures are recited in devotion to Hussain.
The word "Imam" in this context is given a unique meaning. Typically, in the Arabic language, the word can refer to any person who is in a religious leadership position, such as a person who is leading prayers, or the head of a mosque or Muslim community.

In the case of Imam Hussain, and the remainder of the 12 Imams of the Shiites, "Imam" means that the person is a divinely ordained leader, and the title is unique to these individuals. Despite this, Shiite Muslims use the word in both ways, clarifying their meaning by whom they are referring to, on a case by case basis.
The Who Is Hussain campaign is also utilizing social media to advertise the campaign, such as the trending Twitter hashtag #WhoIsHussain.
Additionally, the group is sponsoring an international blood drive campaign, as well as efforts to distribute tens of thousands of bottles of water to the needy all in an effort to draw attention to the question "Who Is Hussain?" Various ads can be seen on billboards, metro stations, and even on buses.
The DC based Islamic Information Center (IIC) attempts to put Hussain in the context of the modern world.
It says "For the past several decades, the name 'Husain' has been ever prevalent in the Western media. Various kings, presidents, politicians, and other leaders around the world have 'Husain' (or some alternate spelling) as part of their name.
"In the Muslim world, the 5 most common names are Muhammad, Ali, Fatima, Hasan, and Husain. Why are these names so important? Who were these people? On average, most people have heard of the name 'Muhammad', but the other names remain generally unknown.
"The history of who Husain was, what he did, and why he did it are key components to Islamic history, and have lasting repercussions throughout the world, including modern day Iraq."
IIC refers to the burial place of Imam Hussain in the city of Karbala, modern day Iraq. The shrines of Imam Hussain, and his brother Abbas, are a top holy site for Shiite Muslims, where millions of adherents flock to each year.
Karbala is a major target of extremists as well, and attacks against the city have been prevalent since the war on Iraq began in 2003, extending to several attacks this year.
IIC continues to explain the history of Imam Hussain, "On the tenth day of Muharram, also referred to as 'Ashura"' [the Umayyad Empire's] forces, numbering in the thousands cornered and killed Husain and the majority of his male family members, including Husain's infant child, leaving only women and some children. The surviving women and children were then shackled and imprisoned. Several of the children later died under the harsh conditions."
Shiites are often brutally attacked by extremists or like-minded governments during Muharram commemorations. Pakistan has seen annual bomb attacks on the day of Ashura, as has war torn Iraq.
The government of Bahrain took the unusual step this year of purchasing more tear gas canisters than its entire populationm in what is widely seen as preparation to prevent religious commemorations of the event by the country's majority population of Shiite Muslims.
