5 Rocket Stocks to Buy for February
Electronic instruments maker Ametek (AME - Get Report), one of TheStreet Ratings' top-rated electrical equipment stocks, has its hand in everything from temperature sensors to specialty motors used by original equipment manufacturers. That niche business affords AME a sticky customer base with a high switching cost, two critical factors for success in the manufacturing sector last year.
Now, with many competitors shaken out of the market, Ametek is primed to succeed in the years ahead.
Ametek has traditionally gone after a growth-though-acquisition approach to increasing its scale, a model that's proven especially effective in increasing revenues without creating extra distractions for management. Because new units are able to operate (and be evaluated) independently, the firm has extra top line diversification. Significant international exposure has added even more. With much of that coming from the emerging markets right now, AME looks well positioned to benefit from secular tailwinds abroad even if a strong dollar has been a detractor in the short-term. In spite of an acquisition-hungry model, the firm's balance sheet looks strong, a fact that can be attributed to consistent double-digit net margins. Even though Ametek may not operate in the most exciting business, investors shouldn't eschew the excitement in the firm's growth potential.

RANCHI: The last-minute decision of the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) to issue fresh admit cards for the September 29 test has left many aspirants fuming. The decision was taken in the wake of a number complaints about incorrect information in the admit cards issued by the commission.
JSSC chairperson C R Sahay said, "Many applicants have been complaining that after roll number generation, the students of a group were allotted seats in the same area. Though there was no technical problem as such, we have cancelled the previous admit cards keeping in view the public sentiments." The commission has to recruit 1,300 employees through the test.
"New admit cards will be uploaded on the internet on September 20. All the admit cards issued till date will be considered invalid and the applicants will have to get the new admit cards online," he said. In most of cases the students have been given the same centre as last time. "We have made this arrangement so that if people have already booked a ticket to go to their respective centres on the day of examination, they will not have to cancel them."
The main reason for uploading the admit cards online is time constrain. "With 10 days left for the examination, we will not be able to send admit cards by post as it is not certain if they will reach them on time. In such a situation, uploading cards online seemed to be the best way," explained Sahay. The aspirants, especially the ones from rural areas, are unhappy with the move. Amit Bhagat, an applicant from Pathargama village in Godda said, "I do not have internet connection at home and there is only one cyber cafe which is almost 20 km from my home and there is always a power crisis, so it will become difficult for me to get the admit card."

When I refolded all the fabric in my stash, I found two kits for mini quilts that I purchased several years ago. They were from Connecting Threads and were sampler kits of fat quarters. I started working on both of them over the Memorial Day weekend.
I plan to machine quilt them and hang them in my sewing room. Linda OH |

Very cute! I have 2 mini kits waiting for me... they are both completely cut out! Some of the pieces are really small! Can't wait to start them. |

I really like the flowers from the scrap bag! Fun! |
Thanks! The Spools quilt is 21" square and the Flowers quilt is 18" X 20". Linda OH |
Hi Linda..love the quilts...beautiful!!!!!!!! It's been a long time that I haven't visited the forum...but thought I'd drop in to see what's happening...and saw your post.... it's so nice to be back here :-) Happy Quilting.. Bill |
Bill!! Great to see you!!! We've missed you!!! |
They are real cute. I like the flowered one the best but they are both very nice. Good work to get them done so quickly. TFS Good to see you back Bill, I have been wondering where you were as we haven't heard from you for a while. |
Charming quilts! I've really enjoyed the mini quilts this year. Kate |
They're both very pretty. I like the flowers best. It would be nice to have a spot in the house to hang a mini and be able to change it out regularly. Sounds like a future project. lOl Do you do that, Linda? |
I really like the scrappy flowers one too although they are both cute. Nice work. |
Thank you! Yes, Bev, I have two spots where I hang small quilts. I hang a seasonal quilt on the wall facing the back door. DH's gun cabinet is in my sewing room. It has glass doors so I have a tension rod in front of the doors and hang a small quilt on it. I have also placed a sheer curtain behind the doors to hide the guns. Linda OH |

The Italian-born and New York-based hazy synthpopper Mauro Remiddi, who records as Porcelain Raft, is coming back next month with his sophomore album Permanent Signal, and we've already posted the early track "Think Of The Ocean." He's now followed that up with "The Way Out," a relatively heavy bleary-keyboard blare that reminds me a bit of the Big Pink, mostly because of those drums. Listen below.
Permanent Signal is out 8/20 via Secretly Canadian.

"Truthmakers, Entailment and Necessity 2008," an addendum to "Truthmakers, Entailment and Necessity," pages 98–101 in Truth and Truth-making, edited by E. J. Lowe and A. Rami, Acumen, 2008.
I update "Truthmakers, Entailment and Necessity" with a response to Stephen Read's wonderful Mind 2000 argument to the effect that I got the disjunction thesis wrong.
I think I didn't get it wrong, but figuring out why it's OK to hold that a truthmaker makes a disjunction true iff it makes a disjunct true is not as straightforward as I first thought. Pluralism about truthmaking makes an entrance.

The new catch-up TV channel programme schedules will be based on how much buzz content on the main channel is getting on social media outlets.
The new service will allow viewers to catch up on any content they have missed during a live broadcast without having to go online.
David Abraham, Chief Executive of Channel 4, made the announcement at the FT Digital Media Conference.
"With so much choice out there, viewers are increasingly saying they sometimes just miss the best stuff, despite their PVR and VOD," said Abraham. "Scheduled in close harmony with all our other channels, 4seven will be a powerful way of maximising the audience for the many hours of new Channel 4 programming we launch every week, as well as an opportunity to direct viewers back to Channel 4 to watch more."
Content receiving the most attention via social media will form the main content scheduled.
"It will schedule the main channel content that is creating noise - amongst social media, bloggers, commentators and of course via contact our viewers have directly with us - and incorporate this buzz into the look and feel of the channel," said Abraham.
We have yet to see whether or not the channel will actually base programme scheduling only on social media buzz; as lucrative advertising and sponsorship deals that come with it could play a part.
"The launch of 4seven also supports our strategy of embracing the opportunities of connectivity, by exploring ways to deepen engagement with our viewers and expand the choices we can offer them, said Abraham."
The 4Seven channel will be the first one launched by Channel 4 since More4 in 2005. Past channels launched have been E4 in 2001 and Film 4 in 1998.

Apple has dominated the tablet market since it launched the iPad last year. But it might finally have some competition.
Hewlett-Packard's new TouchPad tablet computer has hit store shelves. The device is no iPad killer, but in some ways it's the most polished rival so far.
The TouchPad actually bears a lot of resemblance to the iPad. Unlike many other tablets, it includes a similarly sized and proportioned touch-screen. It has a front-facing camera and a case with a curved back that resembles the one on Apple's device. It has a home button that works like the iPad's and has a similar black border around its screen.
Underneath, it has other similarities. Both run on dual-core processors clocked at 1 gigahertz or more. Both are offered with 16 or 32 gigabytes of storage. (You can also get a 64GB iPad.)
And HP is offering the TouchPad for the same prices that Apple charges for similar iPads.
But the TouchPad is more than an iPad knockoff. It has its own distinct operating system and some features you won't find on Apple's device.
The TouchPad runs on webOS, the innovative operating-system software developed by Palm, which HP acquired last year. WebOS has long been a favorite of mine because of the way it merges data collected from multiple sources and for a system that allows you to run and switch between multiple programs.
WebOS includes a feature dubbed Synergy, which automatically combines things like address-book contacts and calendars stored on multiple accounts. Synergy is woven deeply into webOS. The preinstalled messaging application, for example, allows you to log in to multiple chat applications at once, including Google Talk, Skype and Yahoo Messenger. And the photo gallery pulls in pictures from Facebook and Photobucket.
Some of these features can be found on other tablet and smartphone operating systems, but typically in more limited forms than on webOS.
The other standout feature of webOS is the way it handles multitasking. Open applications are represented as cards, and to switch among them you swipe left or right to call up the one you want and then tap on it. To close an application, you simply toss its card up and off the screen.
This system debuted with the original Palm Pre two years ago, but it's still more elegant than what you'll find on the iPad or on the new tablets running the Honeycomb version of Google's Android operating system.
In addition to these webOS standbys, the TouchPad out of the box can make video calls using Skype. And the device includes a version of the Quickoffice application that allows users to view documents stored in Dropbox or Google Docs or sent as email attachments.
It also has a feature called Exhibition, which is intended to be used when you're not actively playing with the TouchPad. Instead of showing an app or the home screen, Exhibition will display a clock, recent Facebook posts from your friends, your upcoming appointments, or your pictures like a digital picture frame. You can turn Exhibition on manually, or it will launch automatically when you set the TouchPad into an optional charging dock.
For all its compelling features, though, the TouchPad does have some significant shortcomings.
Perhaps most notable is that it suffers from the same problem plaguing other tablets that have tried to take on the iPad: a lack of applications. You'll find just 300 tablet-customized applications in Palm's App Catalog.
With Android tablets, you at least have the comfort of choosing from tens of thousands of applications, even if they haven't yet been customized for tablet devices. But webOS users don't have that luxury. There are only about 8,000 total apps for webOS, and HP says about 700 of those won't work on the TouchPad. While you can find some of the most popular apps for webOS, such as "Angry Birds" and Facebook, there are many holes.
A lack of apps is not the TouchPad's only problem. While I like Synergy and appreciate that HP has increased the number of services you can connect to with it, I'd like to see it connect to far more. You can't use Synergy to connect to Twitter, pull up Picasa photos in the TouchPad's gallery, or access Facebook's chat services in the TouchPad's messaging program.
If you're nit-picky like me, you'll find other ways that the TouchPad doesn't compare well with the iPad. It weighs 3 ounces more than the iPad 2 and is 50 percent thicker. Although it has a higher-resolution forward-facing camera than the iPad 2's, unlike that device it doesn't have a rear-facing camera. Rear-facing cameras can be useful when you are on a video call and want to show someone what you can see.
So I like the TouchPad. It's a more pleasurable device to use than other iPad competitors. If HP can entice developers to make more webOS apps, it might be ready to take on the iPad. But for now, it's not in the same league.

i have a few questions hope someone can help.
what do you do about a no sender? n they dont reply to your e-mail? i hate to bug someone. how long do you wait till you ask if someones seen/talked to them? i did a serch n didnt find much also when you ask how many plants do they want in trade n they say they want their postage worth,,, what do you do about that?
Follow-Up Postings:
Chrizty, Have you seen the rate & review forum? It can be very helpful, but a lot of people don't know about it. Before trading try to do a search on the forum for the GW name of the person you are trading with. (try looking up your non-sender, chances are someone else got the same thing, or they may not even be listed) I wouldn't worry about "bugging" them, but sometimes things do come up and life gets in the way. (I still owe someone a trade from last summer, but I made sure she new I wasn't just ignoring her, I even tried to send her the postage for the plants she sent me but she wouldn't let me.) But, I've also had some non-senders, and a couple very bad trades not many though. Most of the people on here are great and will hold up there end, but always a few bad apples! As far as "postage worth" well, that can be easy, it goes by weight! Or a full flat rate box. Some plants are worth more than others, for instance, I wish I had seen you had p grass before I moved, I had TONS of sweet william! I would have gladly sent you a BIG bunch of that for a smaller clump of p grass. I've been wanting that for yrs. so to me, yours would have been "worth" much more than what I had to offer. I have also sent what I felt was a nice big trade and gotten some very small plants in return. I try to discuss it with the person before the trade now so I know what they are sending, how big, how many, etc. Unless it is plants for postage, then I take what amount they send, which has always been a good deal! I hope this helps! PS. if you still have some p grass and would like a nice Dieffenbachia stalk cutting LMK :) I don't have any outdoor plants to trade right now, I just move to a new home in Montana. Welcome to GW! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rate and Review
Also, make sure you check your spam folder, a lot of my GW mail goes there! |
also when you ask how many plants do they want in trade n they say they want their postage worth,,, what do you do about that? hmmm...That would be a hard one to figure out....as not all plants are created equal. Example...small by nature wildflowers, say trilliums, or trout lilies. It could take 30-100 of these precious little jewels to equal 1 LB postage. Then there are the folks that are big Flat Rate Box senders, which is not always the best postage deal. If someone lives in your state, or a surrounding state, it most often is a lot cheaper to pay by the pound rather than Flat Rate. An example...a trader sent a box from FL and thought it was heavy and thought Flat Rate would be the best way....paid $8.95. When I received it, I checked the weight (have wonderful cheap digital scale-Ebay!) and saw it was 2 LB 4 OZ. I checked my handy zone and rate charts (compliments of my friendly PO folks) and saw it 'could' have been mailed for $6.40 also Priority...for a savings of $2.55. I also don't usually post to trade threads where the member does not have their location listed. If I do, it has to be something pretty special to make it worth the postage if the trade is over one LB. I am working a big trade with a member in zone 8. We will be filling our boxes with lots of Peony roots (heavy), irises, and daffs. Anything over 2.1 OZ would be (3 LBS) and cost $11.20...so in this rather rare case, the Flat Rate is the best deal. You can go here to fill in your zip code and then print out the Zone Chart. Once you have that and the zip of the person you are trading with, you will see what mailing zone they are in....1 through 8. You can then go here and see on page 18 the Priority Mail prices for all the different weights to all 8 different mail zones. One can then print it out, choosing to just print page 18 of the file. You can then see there is a big cost difference in trading with folks closer to home (surrounding states) as opped to someone who is far far away. Also...when in doubt, you can email and just ask privately if you like. Feel free to email me, or others you might feel comfortable sharing the details with. I have a case the exact opposite of Vic above...someone send me $10 postage for plants, and then told me to NOT send them....LMAO...it was Vic herself above...knowing she was going to likely move and asking that I wait...and we have just recently been back in touch finally. I have stressed (a little) over holding her money...but now will get to finally mail her some long ago promised goodies. I am careful about posting what I will trade for what...due to the postage cost. Another example...say 8 of my Lycoris could easily be 3 LBs with a street value (purchase price on line) of $40 and cost of $9.80 (flat rate best deal) if mailed to someone in CA or WA, Mail Zone 8 from me. 8 named Daffodils might have a purchase price of $8 and be shipped for 1 LB ($4.80 now I think) or even for less if they were under 13 OZ and went First Class Mail which I am told is as fast as Priority. I hate it when I trade with someone and they overpay when they ship, not knowing the best shipping value. Sue...who considers mail zone, weight, shipping cost, street value, availability, and everything when 'considering' a trade. |
I new I would see a post here from you "Momma Sue" ! Chrizty, Also, did you know that you can get free shipping boxes from the PO? They will deliver them to your door, and pick them up when you are ready for free also. A scale is a great idea also (I got mine off ebay after Sue told me about it) You can weigh, package, purchase and print your labels, then have the box picked up and sent! Without leaving your house and wasting gas! Vic....who when in doubt asks Sue! LOL |
Here is a link that might be useful: boxes
thanks vicky n sue. yes vicky i still have some p-grass, ill send ya e-mail :) yep i did let her know the size of them, the p-grass roots fit about in a 2 litter pop bottle pot. i think ill wait another two weeks before e-mailing her again , she could of gotten sick, it was cold n raining. |
chrizty...did you know there are 2 different shapes of the Flat Rate boxes? One is flat and the other is more boxy. Hey...I'm not Momma Sue...I am the resident Busy Body...and an unofficial member of the unofficial Garden Web Welcome Wagon. Sue...off to eat weeds.... |
yep. forgot there was 2 sizes of flat rate boxes! i need to get a new copyier so i can start doing the pick ups at home. i do have a scale i never use lol, i bought it at wallmart cause i wanted to start mailing at home, now my printers acting up, ugh! i still havent herd from her, last time i e-mailed was the 21st, ill send another, |
i still havent herd from her, last time i e-mailed was the 21st, ill send another, Is that the no-sender...where you already sent your part? If so, please send me an email, with the scoop (member name)...possibly I can come up with something on the matter. Little story here. Member A had a trade with Member B. Member A mailed her box, yet received no box from Member B. Along comes resident busy body chemocurl/Sue and sees the review. She has had a good trade and left a positive review for Member B, and is confused/concerned that member B now appears to be a no sender, or to be having trouble of some sort (maybe computer?) I might add here too, that Member B was not aware they had not mailed mine to me until I spoke up and asked if/when they had been mailed. I think their tracking of trades, member names, real names, email addys maybe got confusing to them. I know if I get several going at once, it takes a lot of attention and effort to not let one slip through the cracks. Sue |

Tell me about it. I started this the first of May, against my wifes suggestion, and boy am I sorry. I have sent out dozens of plants on the day we all agreed to ship and NOT ONE person has done what they promised to do. I had to bug the @@@t out of them and finally two people have sent a FRACTION of what they promised. The others just ignore me. Right now I have someone wanting my plants and they want me to ship this week but they keep changing when they can send anything to me. Finally I am too smart for that one. I am dense but even I learn after getting burned a number of times. I've come to the conclusion that the rip offs outnumber the non rip offs on this board. The wife told me that I shouldn't put much trust in internet relationships. My suggestion: trade locally only. |
Hi fellow Hoosier/Indyguy, I see you joined May 16th...just 18 days ago. Sorry you have not had such great trades so far. people have sent a FRACTION of what they promised. Hey...if'n we were ever to trade...and you were displeased...you could come look me up...lol. If you ever have any questions you don't care to ask on the boards, feel free to email me privately....I have been here quite a while, and am the resident busy body. Right now I have someone wanting my plants and they want me to ship this week but they keep changing when they can send anything to me. In my case, I must dig Sun, Mon, or Tues eve in order to get pick up scheduled on line for Mon, Tues, Wed...as I don't ship any later in the week...for fear of the plants sitting somewhere hot if they aren't delivered by Sat. Sue |

I joined under this name on may 18. I was previously under another name and for some unknown reason I could no longer log in so I created a new name. The fact remains that I have been stiffed a number of times. This seems to be a common thing here. |
I joined under this name on may 18. I was previously under another name and for some unknown reason I could no longer log in so I created a new name. Oh...I'd suggest you reference your 'old' member ID on your member trade page (for trading/reference purposes) but it seems that you are no longer interested in trading on line, so it would serve no purpose. Once again...sorry. I have had wonderful trades for the most part...Out of 'many' there were a couple that were disappointing...more so in the 'quality' of the plants, bulbs, rhizomes, roots, sent than what I ever was in size or number. Some things arrived quite 'dried up' as they had been out of the ground a while b4 packing, or else they were shipped without sufficient moisture. With TLC, most lived and thrived...making it well worth the postage I had spent on my half. Sue |

Looks like I am going to be swamped with people telling me I am wrong or I did the trades wrong, ie it's all my fault. I had complete understandings with everyone. And misunderstandings do not explain the people who refuse to send anything. And to the other person, I tried to access my old ID. GW's solution was to create another one. And no, I will not trade online again. And the person who will not commit to when they will ship is trying to get something for nothing just like the others. Once in a while I do know what I am talking about. |
Indy, I'm sorry about your luck! I will not say you are wrong, and it sounds like you did get more than your share of bad traders and non-senders on here! I am just wondering if you checked any of their reviews to see if they did the same to others? Or if you thought about posting a review on them? Vic |

No to both. Until today I did not know that I could. i admit that I should have researched before trying to trade. Had I known that there were so many bad traders I would have probably not risked it. |
sorry to hear that indyguy. im very new to trading 6 weeks lol ive done 7 trades,so far ive had some realy good trades :) when looking in the R&R rate and review, copy their screen name n past it in the search box. [that helps me with not spelling wrong lol] some of these screen names are hard to remember. also im not good with spelling so copy n pasting helps lol dont give up on trading!! there are lots of good traders in here :)just check them out first, also you could ask them to send first. let them know you had some no-senders. me being a newbie i can understand that n dont mind sending first to some one whos been a member here longer, :) |

The BRICS countries have recently started a new bank called the New Development Bank. Starting with an initial capital base of US $50 billion that is predicted to increase to US $100 billion, the bank's responsibility will be to finance infrastructure needs in the BRICS countries as well as other developing countries.
Post-crisis regulatory reform efforts show that developing countries are rule takers and G7 countries are the rule makers. All this in spite of the fact that the epicentre of the international financial crisis occurred in developed countries. So why should many of the regulators and supervisors in developed countries claim to know best practices for developing countries?
At the IMF-World Bank meetings this past week, there were plenty of assessments of the state of the global economy that described the post-2008 recovery as anemic. Only a few went so far as to claim that the global economy is comatose. Yet, despite general agreement on the diagnosis, there was little consensus on how to solve the problem.
As the world economy continues to struggle, people are taking to the streets by the thousands to protest painful cuts in public spending designed to reduce government debt and deficits. This fiscal fury is understandable. People want to regain the confidence they once had about the future when the economy was booming and more of us had jobs.But after a protracted economic crisis, this will take planning, fair burden-sharing, and time itself.
At the IMF and World Bank Group annual meetings in Tokyo, the European economic crisis was never off the agenda and often took centre stage in panel discussions. In the streets of Athens, Madrid, and in cities of other fiscal adjusting European states, there is a real belief that this new economic reality will result in a lost generation.
Our government's heavy-handed interventions in the labour market weaken basic labour rights, and that hurts all middle class Canadians. If workers are left with no outlet to seek fair compensation and working conditions, they will find other means of collective expression. Their frustration could result in spontaneous work disruptions, with a profound effect on productivity.
Quebec's unruly students are no different than the Greeks. Both have enjoyed free rides for years, both are being asked to pay their share of the tab and both are refusing to do so. The Greeks are going to fall behind the Romanians in living standards in short order while the students are making a fuss over a pittance. That makes the Quebec students, in a sense, even more irresponsible.

The art of negotiation.
By Debra Phillips
Clarence Darrow knew just how to throw off adversaries during negotiations. What the famous lawyer would do--unbeknownst to said adversaries, of course--is place a thin wire through his cigars to keep the ashes from falling to the floor. Bewildered by the trick, Darrow's opponents were left not fully concentrating.
OK, this isn't exactly a widely hailed deal-making strategy--but it worked. And, as pointed out in lawyer Marc Diener's immensely readable Deal Power: 6 Foolproof Steps To Making Deals of Any Size (Henry Holt and Co. Inc., $9.95 paper), deal-making isn't just a science--it's an art.
Which isn't to suggest there aren't guideposts to point you in the right direction--and this is Deal Power's role. Diener's self-created system aims to make Darrows out of the rest of us mere mortals.

Much of the confusion surrounding what happens when we die can be traced to the translation of the Hebrew word sheol and the Greek word hades in the Bible. In most English translations of today and in the past, these words are for the majority translated into "hell", but not on a consistent basis. In the Old Testament the King James translators saw difficulty translating sheol into "hell" all of the time. The word sheol is found 65 times, 31 times it is translated "hell"; another 31 times it is translated "grave" and 3 times it is translated "pit". The translators could not cleanly translate sheol into "hell" because for instance Job prayed that God would hide him in sheol until his appointed time (Job 14:13). There is no way a translator is going to claim Job went to hell! But yet, it is here clearly stated that Job knew he was going to "sheol" (translated hades in the Septuagint; the Greek Old Testament) with the hope that he would be resurrected by God. Another problem for the translators was Psalm 49:15 in which King David, a man after God's own heart, speaks of God redeeming his soul from the power of sheol. Man's tradition wants you to believe that there is conscience suffering in hell but Ecclesiastes 9:10 tells us that there is no "work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave (sheol), whither thou goest (KJV)." The Hebrew word sheol, as with the Greek word hades, carries the connotation of something hidden or unseen. That is why they are used to describe death. In death we have no perception and therefore it can only be described as unseen or unperceived. A clean translation for sheol and hades would be "the unseen" for it fits with every passage in which we find it. It is unfortunate that the KJV translators were so heavily influenced by man's tradition and the Christian theological presuppositions of their time. Here is a New Testament example; in Matthew 11:23 Christ speaks of the city of Capernaum being brought down to "hell' (hades). Does this mean that the entire city, people, buildings, houses, animals, the dirt roads, etc. went down into hell and is being eternally tormented as we speak? Of course not! This speaks of the destruction of the city due to the unbelief of its people. To this day excavators cannot find the exact location of the ruins of Capernaum because it was so utterly destroyed and buried under years of dirt and sand. Expects can only speculate where the city once stood. The city was brought down into the "unseen" or brought down into its own literal grave. Death has passed on to all humans through Adam. We are all destined to die and go to the grave, hell, or the unseen, however you want to describe the unperceivable state of death. But thank God that all of us will be made alive in Christ and like Job, we all can have the expectation that God will remember us and resurrect us at our appointed time (Job 14:13)!

The Minnesota Orchestra under Vänskä and violinist Batiashvili gave stunning accounts of Beethoven, Sibelius.
Violinist Lisa Batiashvili at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis on Wednesday night.
How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
One sure way is to play like Georgia-born violinist Lisa Batiashvili, whose radiant account of the Beethoven concerto Wednesday in Orchestra Hall had me holding my breath for dangerously long stretches. Another is to play Sibelius like the Minnesota Orchestra and Osmo Vänskä, whose electrifying realizations of the great Finn's final two symphonies share this week's program. New Yorkers will hear that program Monday.
From his study of 33 recordings of the Beethoven concerto spanning some 76 years, musicologist Mark Katz concludes that over the decades performances of the work have become less emotive and mercurial, more contemplative and serene. What's remarkable about Batiashvili and Vänskä, who first collaborated in this piece as long ago as 1999, is their ability to have it both ways. There's plenty of forward motion and tensile strength, but also a wonderful meditative ease. The soloist's golden tone, liquid bowing and spotless intonation at stratospheric altitudes give the music a celestial glow; the coda of the opening movement, with its pizzicato accompaniment and its hushed duet between violin and bassoon (John Miller Jr.), is magical.
Batiashvili plays the admirably ambitious, seldom-heard cadenzas by Russian composer Alfred Schnittke (1934-98). Controversial in their day -- one miffed reviewer compared them to drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa -- they now seem part of the history they conjure; the collage-like first-movement cadenza alludes to concertos by Berg, Bartok, Shostakovich and especially Brahms. (Shostakovich also supplies Batiashvili's savory encore, an arrangement of his "Lyrical Waltz.") Schnittke's own violin concertos would profit from Batiashvili's attention.
Sibelius' Sixth Symphony has been called the Cinderella of his seven; perplexed critics have labeled it nonchalant and impassive, unruffled and recondite. Vänskä, happily, will have none of this. In his hands, the symphony sounds human and worldly; the music sometimes races but never drags. The last movement, in particular, gives off unaccustomed sparks before fading into silence.
From gripping opening to abrupt close, the single-movement Seventh Symphony is simply stunning. The music's meltings and morphings, its tensions and relaxations, are meticulously realized; Vänskä, the big picture always in view, is careful not to peak too early. R. Douglas Wright's bell-in-air trombone solos have an epic grandeur: If this is what Finnish nationalism sounds like, sign me up!

... and it's killing me. He's had MS diagnosed about ten years, uses a walker, has a shower chair. I give him his daily shot of Copaxone, help him in and out of the car, lift the walker , which is rather heavy, in and out of the car, and in general, listen to his griping and moaning. Both his doctor and mine have suggested household help, but I don't know where to start. I'm sick also, I have kidney failure, go for dialysis three times a week, and I'm often tired, plus I can't use my left arm because of the dialysis. Where to start? |

The next time you see one of the doctors, ask him to recomend a health care agency. Or, check out the listings in the phone book. It's a lot easier to use an agency unless you can find exactly the right person yourself. An agency will take care of all the problems with hiring help.....withholding taxes, social security deductions, insurance, etc. Plus, if the person doesn't work out, it's easier to ask for a replacement than it is to fire someone yourself. It's important to go ahead and get someone before you injure yourself caring for him. |
Thanks, agnes. I'll do what you suggested, also will consult with the local branch of MS Society. |
Also, check what your county or city offers. Each region is different, of course, but my county in California offers an adult day care program along with respite care. They have a department of aging that coordinates several other programs too. Your state should also have a department of aging with access to several resources. |
Ask his Dr. about HOME HEALTH CARE - Medicare pays for additional home help (how much and what type varies) - I assume at least one of you is on Medicare? You'll need the Dr. to fill out and send in some forms.....My Mom has MS (and has had it for 50 years) and she had home health care for ages (she now is in a nursing home at age 90). Carolyn |
jannie, sorry about the lateness of this post--just found it. As a former RN, home health is available in most states paid by medicare, but limited. This is the service where a patient must be homebound. There are other services. I highly recommend you check out your states' deptartment on aging for household services and other services available. There is a qualifying process and they will tell you about that. Illinois has excellent services, I was a case manager for 7 years before I retired and feel like we helped many seniors. I'm sure NY has a good one too. Good luck. Jan |
Thanks, Jampak and everone else who answered. |
My DH has MS also, was diagnoised in 2000 when he went in for a hip replacement. Went for a new hip and came home in a wheelchair. You may want to look into "faith in action" they don't do anything medical but run errands, or sit and keep someone company, light housekeeping, bring people to appointments, etc. You may also want to look into the "medicaid waiver" in your state and see if you quality. I was on the waiting list for 9 years and my DH finally got a home health aide 2 months ago. |

The travertine wall tile in our bathroom stops 4 ft off the floor with no bull nose or trim on the top edge. I'm going trim to top edge with polished granite half-round. Can I set 3/4" x 1 x 12 granite trim pieces directly in sanded grout and skip the thinset? |

Chateau St. Jean Robert Young Vineyard Chardonnay 2010
Chardonnay from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
Bright aromas of ripe stone fruit, lemon zest and hints of honeysuckle jump from the glass at the first whiff of this single vineyard Chardonnay. Notes of vanilla and subtle spice lead to a medium-bodied mouthfeel with notes of melon, and wet stone minerality. The wine has a creamy texture with bright acidity and the classic Robert Young Chardonnay long-lasting lemon oil finish.
Critical Acclaim
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Graceful and understated, with delicate, fragrant floral, white peach, honeydew melon and smoky oak notes, all beautifully proportioned, offering a long finish."
Chateau St. Jean Winery
Chateau St. Jean is a winemaking estate located at the foot of the Sugarloaf Ridge in Sonoma Valley near Kenwood, California. Founded in 1973, Chateau St. Jean has long been recognized as a leader in Vineyard Designated wines. Winemaker Steve Reeder has built a reputation for making wines of power and elegance. With over 20 years of vineyard and winemaking experience, his knowledge of Sonoma makes him a master in highlighting the best of each vineyard. Chateau St. Jean was the first Sonoma winery to be awarded the prestigious "Wine of the Year" award from Wine Spectator for its 1996 Cinq Cepages Cabernet Sauvignon, a Bordeaux-style blend of "five varieties." View all Chateau St. Jean Wines About Sonoma County
View a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable Facts
The largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.About California
It's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

William Mayes - Richmond, VA55/1/2013excellent value. A nice mouthful and I believe will age nicely. It has a very good nose and a pale yellow colorAlcohol By Volume Guide
Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jerry, a Syracuse Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Syracuse, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Syracuse.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Syracuse already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Syracuse breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Syracuse paves the way for another one to be saved.

avoidance behaviour
avoidance behaviour
Type of activity, exhibited by animals exposed to adverse stimuli, in which the tendency to flee or to act defensively is stronger than the tendency to attack. Vision is the sense that most often produces avoidance behaviour (e.g., small birds react to the sight of an owl), but sound (e.g., a warning cry) may do so as well.

Marathi Verbivores, 400 Years Old Tukaram तुकाराम Still Feeds Us.
"Lisa: While I was gone I got some really good advice from Paul and Linda McCartney.
Homer: Rock stars. Is there anything they don't know?"
([3F03] Lisa the Vegetarian Written by David S. Cohen, Directed by Mark Kirkland, Original airdate in N.A.: 15-Oct-95)
We are celebrating 400th birth anniversary of Saint Tukaram तुकाराम on February 11, 2008 वसंत पंचमी.
I ask: Is there anything Turkaram doesn't know. (See my previous posts on Tukaram here.)
Some experts have argued that half of world's languages may become extinct by 2100. A few wonder if Marathi will ever join the list or become 'only-spoken' language. The onslaught of English and Hindi is relentless. My son uses a complex Hindi word instead of equivalent Marathi word quite effortlessly.
I feel as long as Bhakti literature of Marathi is doing well and we reinvent Marathi the way young people do, there is no such danger.
See "slang dunk" below to read the kind of words used in Mumbai colleges. They should be part of a standard Marathi dictionary. Are they?
Tukaram reinvented Marathi in 17th century. We all still speak his Marathi.
Among modern writers, B S Mardhekar बा सी मर्ढेकर, Bhau Padhye भाऊ पाध्ये, Namdeo Dhasal नामदेव ढसाळ, Jayant Narlikar जयंत नारळीकर (science), N S Phadke ना सी फडके (Cricket writing), Kumar Gandharva कुमार गंधर्व (music) made laudable efforts in "reinventing" Marathi.
See a related post here.
Steven Pinker recently wrote a book "THE STUFF OF THOUGHT / Language as a Window Into Human Nature". Jonah Lehrer wrote in its review:
"…Human language is an emanation of the human mind. A thing doesn't care what we call it. Words and their rules don't tell us about the world; they tell us about ourselves…"
Even today Tukaram's language tells us about ourselves, more effectively than anyone else.
p.s. My dear fantasy: Tukaram's poems set to jazz tunes of John Coltrane!
