One of my new kittens has eye discharge (pinkish mucous). He's been to the vet who didn't seem too concerned about it--not thinking it looked bad (and it wasn't the day I took him in--for vaccines--it seems to come and go), but went ahead and Rx'd some eye ointment: "Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Bacitracin Zinc Ophthalmic". I only administered it to him twice and it seemed to irritate him. I'd have continued with it except we had to leave for my MIL's funeral and leave the kittens to another's care for a few days and I didn't want her messing with his eyes. Anyway, we've been back a week, and I guess I need to start the ointment again as he's having a good bit of discharge. I think the change in weather has made it worse (he's indoor, but our new house doesn't have the heat working yet, which I discovered the other morning when I went to turn it on to knock off the first chill of the season!).
Anyone experience this with a kitten before? It doesn't seem contagious as the other kitten's eyes are fine (he was raised with her). I'm going to take him back to the vet this week, but wanted to get some opinions from you animal people! That way, I'm more prepared to discuss it with my vet. Thanks! |

Just my opinion here --- the cat that we found had eye oozing and once she had kittens, two of the four also have the problem. It doesn't seem to bother any of them so we just clean it sometimes and that's it. One of the kittens was born with an eye that didn't open because of the discharge (her name is Deadeye) We cleaned it daily until it finally opened on its own, but Deadeye still has the oozing now and she is 6 mos. old. Her eye doesn't stick shut any more so we just don't worry about it. I think it is hereditary but maybe it isn't. We don't have the money to worry about things that don't bother the kitties. |
Anytime one of my cats has an eye problem I now take them right to a veterinary opthalmologist. IME eyes are one of those things that get much more expensive if you wait. If you can't afford that I would ask the vet what the diagnosis was and if there is some other treatment to try. |
I also suggest you take her to a specialist. I took in a stray kitten with a goopy, runny eye and when the vet checked her he just said her eye was punctured and she'd be blind and gave me the same ointment you're using. He also said she'd probably end up with an infection and lose the eye. I took her to an ophthalmologist that same afternoon. Ophthalmologist found both cornea and lens were punctured and gave me another eye med that would keep the eye dilated and would also help prevent the eye from being covered in a cataract. She now appears to have some vision in the eye and its healthy otherwise. What your cat has could be viral but it could also be a corneal ulcer. Eye problems can be very painful. |
It sounds from your post that you did not administer the ointment for very long at all before you had to leave for a spell? I have been through eye issues with several cats and a dog over the years and have had the experience that they can often take several weeks to clear up. I recall long ago when my dog had an eye infection and the vet prescribed an ointment for 14 days. After 14 days her eye was still a bit goopy. I called the vet and they said to do another week of ointment. Another week and it was still not cleared up- called again and was told to go ahead for another week. It cleared up completely in that 4th week. One of my cats had a similar story that we had to be vigilant for between 2 & 3 weeks before the infection cleared up. I don't know if that's typical of eye infections to take a long time to clear up. Seems like a nice environment if you are bacteria though. Oh, and while I'm thinking of it, HOW you administer the ointment matters IME. Don't try to put it directly in the eye, but rather try pulling gently below the eye to open the lower lid, then ease the length of ointment along the inside of the lower lid. This seems to be less traumatic for the cat than having you come right at their eye with a tube. I've also used a wet q-tip as an applicator for the ointment- it's just easier to control the amount you use, and easier to roll it off a wet q-tip into the lower eyelid than break it from the tube (my experience is that when you pull the tube away, you often take the length of ointment you've squeezed out with it). |
Thanks for the replies! Quasifish--thanks so much for your story. No, I didn't get to do the ointment application long before we had to leave, and when we got back, his eyes didn't seem bad until just the other day. I'll get back on the ointment this evening. I appreciate hearing how you apply it, too! Vet wanted me to put the ointment directly onto the eye, but I was worried about touching his eye, so by the time I could steady my hand and get it coming out of the tube, the kitty was squirming too much for me to continue. I didn't know if using my clean finger to place it onto his lower eyelid was going to be good enough. I'll try the q-tip, too (but won't it leave little strands of cotton behind?). Thanks everyone. |
Tracey, I was a little worried about cotton strands too, but with the cotton is wet enough, that hasn't been a problem I've encountered. If you're concerned, you could always buy some of those foam tip applicators. I would still wet them just to make the ointment come off easier. |

I'm only 13 but my kitten is having a runny eye im not shure if it is eye discharge or not hes only 5 weeks old hes had it for maybe 3 weeks but he acts just fine. im just worried |
Have your vet check it out. If it's been going on for awhile, it's a good idea to have it looked out and possibly treated. Your vet might give you drops or ointment for your kitten's eye, which you can have an adult help you administer (some cats are good about getting their meds, others are more squirmy--like people!). Good luck! |

Featured teacher: Ashley Turner
Wanderlust Wonders teacher feature this week includes Yoga Psychology specialist Ashley Turner. With a masters from Pacifica Graduate Institute and 13-month Priestess Training, Yoga Psychology is an innovative synthesis of psychology, spirituality, yoga and modern science.
What does Wanderlust mean to you?
MAGIC! We are a wandering band of artists, musicians, shamans, mystics, healers, priestesses and troubadours lusting after our love of life! Finally we have a gathering place to rock our collective magic - each bringing our own unique song to the symphony! YAY!
What do you dig most about the combination of yoga and music?
Music is the language of love! All forms of music have been known throughout ancient traditions to be the ultimate, healing elixir. Based on the science of vibration, yoga is tuning the instrument of the body/mind so the music or life that flows through us is more sublime and beautiful with each breath.
Music and Yoga are two sides of the same coin.
I left last year's festival wondering why it took us so long to create what seems like such an obvious synthesis! Kudos to Jeff, Schuyler and Sean!
What gets you excited about this year's festival?
It's sort of like an annual class reunion--except you can't wait to see everyone and you are in one of the most beautiful places in the country! I'm just so grateful to come hang and play with some of my best friends and get to take their classes. It's so fun to see what everyone is passionate about in this moment and keep your finger on the pulse of yoga's leading-edge!
I also cannot wait to reunite with YogiTunes DJ Collective's Craig Kohland and Rara Avis for our collaboration - "Shaman-Priestess" ... I adore creating with them, as we have some similar spiritual roots. We always drop deep and sweet. They are phenomenal!
Three favorite things in the world right now?
As a Body-Mind Psychotherapist, I am thrilled with all the latest, scientific research coming out in support of the Mind-Body connection. Finally, as yogis, we have the proof to back up the technology of yoga and meditation, especially to the medical establishment. In LA, we are lucky to have the Mindfulness Awareness Research Center at UCLA. Dr. Daniel Siegel's work is groundbreaking. His latest book, " The Mindful Brain" proves how staying aware actually builds new neural pathways in the brain and body and is the key to shifting the habits in our lives! I love being able to educate my clients and skeptics in daily conversation with evidence-based research. Not that I'm obsessed or anything...just sayin'...
The internet is a direct, physical manifestation of what yogis have been teaching for ages -- the intricate interconnectedness and interdependence of all things. The astral web has come to life in the virtual world -- each one of us living as a luminous filament threading our own particular brand of magic into the world! Social media rolled out the red-carpet for us to come together as a tribe and form strong friendships and collaborations with peers, colleagues and students across the globe. I also love devouring illuminating blog posts from leaders in all fields.
Honestly, I am LOVING YogaEarth! This simple product has changed my life in such a sweet way. It's an herbal supplemental formula, actually 2 different formulas, that you mix with 4-6 oz. of water. I take BALANCE in the morning (a little fruitier and sweeter) and VITALITY in my mid-afternoon lull around 3pm (more earthy, with organic, shade-grown Japanese green tea for a pick-me-up). I absolutely LOVE the taste! They are packed with powerful nutrients and had a huge, immediate effect on my digestion and assimilation. I love the little ritual of taking them and having them to look forward to every day. Plus you know you're doing something so potent for your body!
Added Bonus: they aid metabolism and curb your appetite, while giving you more energy.
Something your students might not know about you?
I am an identical twin! My sister, Christine, left her job as a corporate lawyer in NYC in 2008 to work on Obama's campaign and was subsequently appointed to a wonderful position in the administration. Through nepotism, I was lucky enough to go to the convention in Denver and work the VIP suite hosting the Obama and Biden family members and then participate in the Inauguration in DC! The entire journey was life-changing and awe-inspiring! Talk about the hallmark of a true yogi -- Obama, and his powerful inner circle exuded absolute grace and the cellular knowingness that anything IS possible!
P.S. We're hoping for a special guest appearance by Christine at this year's Wanderlust!
What's your personal mantra?

Exercise brings hope to those paralysed by spinal injuries
Exercise therapy research at the University of Newcastle has brought profound improvements to limbs that were paralysed, doctors say.
The award-winning laboratory research is bringing hope of restored muscle function to those suffering paralysis from spinal damage, potentially including injured Newcastle Knights player, Alex McKinnon.
Neurophysiologist Dr Michelle Rank believes exercise is more beneficial than any other therapy currently available, even for patients with long-term injuries. Continue Reading »

Why does no one know what irony is?
Most sites that have comment sections are filled with "thugs". The irony of all of it is that face to face 99.9% of people wouldn't have the nerve to mouth off to anyone else face to face. Behind that screen though….Whoooo look out! Keyboard commandos!
how modern day mainstream, using words that don't mean what they use it for. faggot = cigarette………show this "tough" 10 yr old is calling someone a cigarette because they don't have a pair because the "faggot" is acting tough on the internet? odd.

Yeah, I only liked snivy.
He WILL beat the crap outta ya. Luigi says otherwise. The dominate bro.
No, it's Smugleaf.
Oh, oops.
What's the oops for bro? You were right. Don't listen to anything Elias says.
In my opinion the first gen has the best and most iconic starters. To me they started going downhill in the forth gen. I don't like the way they are designing them. It's like they are trying to hard to make the first stage cute, which fails over half the time. Then their final evolutions seem overly complex, it seems like there is too much going on in the design, like they're trying to fit too much in.
Now you're playing with power!
I agree with what volt just said.
And my least favorite starter would be chikorita because it always looked too girly even if it was a boy! And the moves were pretty much a copy of the bulbasaur line. (I stopped actually watching/caring after the hoen region besides a few episodes here or there so that's where my knowledge stops as well)
Vittoria per gli Assassini!

After this weekend I really need to take a break, I thought to myself as I stared at the clock in the darkness. 5:58. The alarm would be going off in 2 minutes. I shut it off before it could chime. Two more races, then you need to take some time to recover and let your body heal.
It was going to be a double 'cross race weekend: Swashbuckler—a new race on the PACX calendar that ran through the Renaissance Fairgrounds and had a pirate theme—on Saturday and Stoudt's, which takes place at a local brewery, on Sunday. After Brasil Ride and all the training leading up to Brazil, I wasn't sure how much "go" I had in me. I definitely was still a bit fatigued and was walking around with a few niggling aches and pains from tight muscles and minor spills. But both of these races promised to be very fun and a nice way for me to wind down the season in my own backyard.
I'd be racing at 10 a.m., so I rolled out of bed and kitted up so I'd be ready to pre-ride the course when we arrived at the venue around 8:30. Then I shook my daughter awake and cooked breakfast for the family while Dave walked the dogs. An hour later, we were on the road and on our way.
Once there, I was very psyched to be there. All the usuals I haven't seen since Town Hall CX in September were there, kitting up and milling around. And the venue was just the goofy fun I was looking for. The course was a cornucopia of mixed media. There was gravel, grass, pavement, rock gardens, and one long, deep sand pit generally reserved for jousting. There were stairs. There were ludicrously high barriers. There were hard angles and off camber turns and rollers and whoops. The sun was shining. The skies were brilliant blue. The air was cool. It was going to be a blast.
At ten till 10, I slotted myself in the starting grid along with the rest of the 1/2/3 women. At 10 sharp the whistle blew and we were off. After a quick sprint up the paved starting straight, we were on course and falling into formation. Before long, a small group of us, including my friend Erica and Katrina, a tall, very physical (and very funny) rider with Colavita who I love racing with, started to pull away off the front. We jockeyed back and forth among the three of us for the next two laps. Going into the final lap, I managed to get a little gap.
One lap to go. I surged up the paved straight and onto the course, slowing my speed as I entered the first set of slippery off camber turns. Then, well, I'm not sure exactly where or how, but my bike suddenly slid out. I put a hand out and caught myself, but only for an instant. A split second later, my bike slipped away in one direction and my arm stretched out and overhead on the ground in the opposite direction. I felt something give in my shoulder and thought, "That's not good."
I got up and remounted. I knew I was hurt, but couldn't yet tell how much. Just finish this lap and you'll be done. But as soon as I started pedaling, I knew I had real problems. I couldn't completely lower my arm. It was like it was stuck in the elbows out position. Okay, you pulled something. Just ride smooth and finish. Katrina and Erica rode up behind me. "Did you crash, Selene?" asked Katrina. "Yep. Slid out," was all I could manage to reply as they pulled around me. I followed them to the staircase run up where I dismounted, grabbed my bike with my injured arm and saw stars.
Dave was there cheering as I stopped in my tracks, stumbled off course, and sat down on a nearby stonewall. My arm felt like it wasn't part of me, mushy and tingly and completely useless. It also hurt like hell. What followed were a blur of friendly faces, including the race medic, asking me questions and trying to help. My friend Bob dumped some Advil in my hand. Someone handed me an IPA for the other hand. I hobbled to the truck and crawled inside. My friend Cati ran up and covered me with a blanket.
People were talking to me and I was answering, trying to not look like the wounded animal in a bear trap that I felt like. I wanted to be okay. But the longer I sat in the truck, the more the pain grew, and the more urgently I wanted to get out of there and to a hospital. Dave went to find our daughter and I texted my friend at the local emergency room, who checked me in while we made the hour-plus drive back home.
By the time we got to the hospital, I was in what I can only describe as close to agony. I've tumbled off my bike six ways to Sunday over the years. I've broken my collarbone. I've cracked ribs. I've fractured and dislocated fingers and separated my shoulder. But short of natural childbirth 11 years ago, I can say with 100% certainty I have never been in this kind of pain.
The wait at the ER was relatively short. But the rest seemed to stretch out for an excruciating eternity that included having to pee in a cup to prove I wasn't pregnant and being manipulated and contorted on a flat metal X-ray table as I tried not to wail. Finally the ER doc told me what we all already knew—I'd dislocated my shoulder.
About an hour later, after more urgent patients were cared for, it was time for some "Zen Reduction." I'd been told I wouldn't remember any of it. But having previously woken up midsurgery because I'm apparently very hard to anesthetize, I wasn't so sure (and in fact I remember all of it). The nurse gave me an IV and some drug that is stronger than morphine, but with a shorter half-life. Then when I was as relaxed as martini-soaked lounge singer, the doctor lifted my arm and reinserted the humeral ball back into its socket.
There was an audible pop and then immediate, amazing, wonderful relief. I think I saw a unicorn leap across the bed. I smiled at Dave and promptly collapsed into a state of bliss. They gave me a sling and a prescription for Percocet, neither of which I've needed since walking out that afternoon.
Two days later, I visited Dr. Neal Stansbury, an elite racer and even more elite orthopedic specialist. He scanned my X-rays, put my arm through a few strength tests, and gave me a nod and a smile. "Give it a rest and let it heal for four to six weeks. You can ride your road bike, but don't go yanking on the bars in any full sprints. Stay off the rocks. Limit overhead and back reaching movements. After four weeks see how it feels. I think you'll be just fine."
And there you have it. I'm a little bummed. I knew I needed the rest, but I have a new bike and there are fun 'cross races to do and the trails beckon this time of year and well, it's hard to take a break. Until you have to anyway. Here's to silver linings to stormy situations and to coming back even stronger for having been away.

Former Porter County sheriff wins Democratic nomination
By Amy Lavalley Post-Tribune correspondent May 6, 2014 9:54PM
David Reynolds
Updated: June 8, 2014 6:08AM
VALPARAISO — Former two-term Porter County sheriff David Reynolds handily beat political newcomer Harold Lush for the Democratic nomination in Tuesday's primary election.
With all 123 precincts reporting, Reynolds garnered 4,044 votes to 593 votes for Lush, according to unofficial vote totals.
The race was the only contested one countywide on the Democratic ballot. Reynolds will face Republican Michael Brickner, Valparaiso's police chief, in the November general election. Brickner was unopposed Tuesday.
"I'm not discounting what happened (Tuesday). We just hit a good single, but we know we've got to get home," Reynolds said, adding that he's looking forward to the general election, which he knows will be a challenge.
Sheriff David Lain, a Democrat, has served two consecutive terms and cannot seek re-election under Indiana law.
Reynolds, 63, of Portage, served as county sheriff from 1999 to 2006, during which time he oversaw the design and construction of the Porter County Jail, which relocated from downtown Valparaiso to along Indiana 49 almost 12 years ago.
Reynold's primary campaign focused on illegal drugs, which he said is the biggest issue facing the next sheriff. He called for additional support from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration office in Merrillville and the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force to tackle the problem.
Lush, 69, of Chesterton, was employed in plant security at the former Bethlehem Steel from 1973 to 1988 and also ran for sheriff four years ago.

The NS70-EL's BIOS features some great overclocking options, however, there are a few missing that might be a turnoff to some users. Firstly, for those of you that may have an engineering sample processor, there is the ability to change the CPU clock ratio (multiplier).
There is also an option that allows you to adjust the CPU/DRAM Clock Ratio, with choices of 1:1, 3:4 and 3:5. With a 3:5 ratio and your FSB at 100MHz, you will get a 166MHz (333MHz DDR) memory frequency. With a 3:4 ratio and your FSB at 100MHz, you will get a 133MHz (266MHz DDR) memory frequency. With a 1:1 ratio and your FSB at 100MHz, you will get a 100MHZ (200MHz DDR) memory frequency. The ability to set the CPU/DRAM ratio allows you to obtain a higher clock speed by lowering the ratio and increasing the FSB.
You are also able to adjust the FSB speed anywhere between 100MHz and 165MHz. The only thing I felt was missing from this array of options was the ability to set the core/DIMM voltage. Using the stock Intel heatsink/fan unit, I was able to run my 2GHz Pentium 4 processor (Willamette) at 2.28GHz (114MHz x 20). The highest my Abit BD7-RAID would reach was 2.26GHz (113x20). If there were voltage adjustments on the NS70-EL, I am sure it would've overclocked higher. However, it still managed to give a 20MHz higher overclock than the BD7-RAID, which is known by many as one of the best Pentium 4 overclocking motherboards.
The board ran totally stable at this speed, and lasted through 12 hours of 3DMark2001 loops without a crash. Overall, considering that there are no voltage adjustments on the NS70-EL, I am very pleased with how well it overclocked.

From a physical standpoint, Matthew Stafford is one of the league's most talented quarterbacks, if not the most talented. He's a gifted passer, possessing the arm strength to make every throw from any platform into any window, the accuracy to hit his intended target in between the digits in their chest, and a moving pocket presence and the mobility to evade pass rushers. But the same can't be said about Stafford mentally.
He tends to have quarterbacking blunders, forcing throws at the most inopportune of times, and almost blindly lobbing the football up for grabs at other times and flat out just airmailing it. He shows a lack of control over his velocity, which stems from his lackadaisical footwork.
Against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, he threw two more interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Including Sunday's game, Stafford has thrown interceptions in seven of the 10 games he's started, bringing it to a total of 10. It's not a significant number in comparison to the rest of the league leaders in the statistic, as he averages more attempts per game than all 10 quarterbacks ahead of him. But it's still troubling how his picks are coming.
Stafford's footwork continues to be undesirable, blatantly showing a lack of proper technique at the quarterback position. He doesn't transfer his weight with any sort of consistency, as instead he tends to open his hips and then just let the ball fly. This was troublesome last season as well, when he tended to do more of the leaning back like Kobe Bryant on a fade away jump-shot. He still does that and it's still a problem, because despite all his arm strength, he easily puts a cap on it due to his lack of weight transfer. Instead of his weight coming forward, it's all on his back foot whether he's leaning back and throwing or simply just opening his hips up and throwing.
On his second interception and pick-six to Packers' free safety M.D. Jennings this past Sunday, Stafford received the snap and set up a strong base with his feet, widening them out to shoulder width. That was the first step of his footwork and he executed it with proper form, but what followed next was troublesome.
He identified a target and went to deliver the ball. In doing so, he opened up his hip and stuck his left leg out, but he didn't truly stepped through to shift his power forward (you can see this by the placement of his foot in each image). Instead, he simply stepped into the grass and came forward with his upper body, consequently lacking bend with his lead knee which significantly affects the accuracy of the pass, causing it to flutter as it goes forward. As a result, Stafford had no control over the ball, leaving it to fall behind his intended target and into the welcoming arms of Jennings for a turnover.
As one can see, Stafford's footwork is simply a problem, and it has been for two years now. Last season, he made many more plays (41:16 touchdown/interception ratio) and the Lions were winning, so his footwork problems weren't magnified by critics, but they were still there. This season, Stafford isn't making the same big throws he made last year and the Lions aren't winning as much, so his fundamentals are becoming a greater issue to those who study his game.
If this is truly a problem — which it is — then the big question that must be asked is, can it be fixed?
"Fixing" quarterbacks is no walk in the park. It's a very difficult task to take on because so much of the movements of the passer are habitual, such as his arm slot, delivery, or the way he flicks his wrist. However, when it comes to footwork, the transfer of weight can be improved through repetitions, but it doesn't always work.
I've written in the past about Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who has a very similar issue that's been addressed by Buffalo's coaching staff, but to no avail. Fitzpatrick's issues are compounded by his lack of arm strength, but Stafford's aren't due to his immense strength. However, footwork is still an area of Stafford's game that must be cleaned up if he's going to perform with consistency and get the Detroit Lions back to the playoffs.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Two days after Kennedy Plaza was closed for construction, the first weekday of relocated bus stops brought some confusion and adjustments.
"I think it went the way we expected it to go," Amy Pettine, RIPTA's director of planning and marketing, said Monday. "We were prepared for questions. We had staff on hand. I think it went as well as can be expected."
Street supervisors who are usually posted in Kennedy Plaza were posted near the new berths Monday, making sure passengers knew where to catch their bus and drivers knew where to stop. "We didn't see any drivers with major issues," she said.
Staff members of the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority signed up for shifts, from 6 a.m. to the evening commute, to help out at the new stops. "Everyone from interns to department heads," Pettine said, "It was all hands on deck."
"We were there to greet them and ask where they needed to go," she said. "It can be disorienting to get dropped off" at a different location.
"We probably handed out 25,000 cards that we printed" that showed a map of the new bus berths. The cards are laminated. There were also larger maps on paper. "Most people like the pocket card," she said.
"Most people understand that it's going on," Pettine said. "You're going to get some people complaining. We try to explain that the plaza is closed for construction and RIPTA is partnering to make this a better space for everyone. Hopefully it will be an improvement for everyone. We're doing our best to accommodate the schedule."
Already, some changes have been announced.
Because of safety concerns, bus stop O at Washington and Exchange streets will be moved to behind bus stop N at Steeple Street between Exchange Street and Memorial Boulevard, starting Wednesday. Bus stop O serves Routes 52, 60 and 61X.
Also, to make transferring buses easier, any bus on Exchange Terrace will stop at temporary bus stop K, at a passenger's request to disembark. Also for convenience, any bus traveling on Sabin Street will pick up and drop off passengers at temporary bus stop A.
A sampling of people waiting for buses on Sabin Street found that most disliked Monday's disruption, but one found it more convenient.
"I've already got lost," said Colleen Crookes, 29. "It's a trip and a half." She said she didn't know where she was when she got dropped off this morning, and she was going to meet her boyfriend but couldn't find him. "I think he got lost."
Edward Helb, 24, of Providence, waiting for bus 17, complained that the six-month construction period "is way too much of a stretch." If there's going to be construction, "at least do it in a timely manner," he said. The new arrangement is inconvenient for the elderly and people with disabilities, he said.
"It's just a pain," said Denise LaBonte, 53, of Providence. She said she experimented over the weekend. "I missed the beach bus. It was way up there," she waved toward Exchange Terrace.
Diana Rolle, 64, found the new bus stops in front of the Rhode Island Convention Center convenient for people who live in high rises, at Crossroads and in Cathedral Square. Also, she said, "It's going to look nice over there in Kennedy Plaza."

A veteran Washington energy insider puts it best. "The truth of the matter," he says, "is that nowadays (and perhaps for the last five years at least) in oil and gas, nothing of what goes on in Washington really makes much of a difference. It's only the people in Washington who think it does. Energy reporters just transcribe what the politicians and bureaucrats tell them. But there is no value added. Either because they are too ignorant or too busy, reporters just pass on what they're told. Mostly these are lies or half-truths." Yes, it is a melancholy comment, but an insightful one. In Washington energy circles, two topics predominate – politics and economics, and (more interestingly) the gray area between the two.

The JACK Quartet's recent recording of four string quartets by the altaVoz composers was featured in a profile in the Boston Globe by journalist David Weininger. "The occasional sonic similarity aside, these are four composers with resolutely distinct voices and strategies."
Weininger spoke with Brazilian composer Felipe Lara about altaVoz and the question of what links Latin American composers aesthetically.

New Focus will release three recordings in July that all feature album length works. Bucking the trend of streaming single short tracks, we are highlighting the creativity and architectural design that goes into conceiving a grand musical gesture. Composer and guitarist Richard Carrick releases his introspective collection of studio composed electric guitar works, Stone Guitars. Carrick's process in creating these pieces is responsible for a wonderful balance between spontanaeity and design -- he improvised several layers for the works without using pre-recorded tracks as a reference, and then assembled them meticulously, creating a structure from "found" materials of his own creation. He will perform works from the album at a CD release event on June 27 at Whitebox NYC on an Either/Or sponsored event. Andrew Violette's seventy minute long Sonata for Guitar is the last in a series of neo-baroque album length works he has written for solo string instruments. Performed here by guitarist Dan Lippel, the work is a fascinating blend between traditionalist and subversive, combining a three voice Fugue and Chaconne with a twenty five minute "Colorfield" movement that remains on the same harmony with subtle arpeggiated rhythmic differences throughout. Rounding out the month's releases is pianist Omri Shimron's incisive and very personal account of Frederic Rzewski's iconic Marxist inspired work, The People United Will Never be Defeated. With a cadenza that merges themes from the Chilean Marxist song that inspired Rzewski's variations with Zionist songs from Shimron's parents childhood on an Israeli kibbutz, this performance of a canonical work deepens insight into the roots of Rzewski's inspiration and its universal applicability.
Stay tuned for more details on all these releases!

Third Coast Percussion plays the Chicago premiere Augusta Read Thomas' Resounding Earth, an evocative work exploring the sound world of bells written for them and releasedon their CD/DVD set on New Focus earlier this year. Peter Margasak, writing for theChicago Reader, observes, "Third Coast executes the four-part composition with its typical clarity and precision, moving elegantly and deliberately among several colors and textures: stately and cyclical gamelanlike structures with brisk, hypnotic rhythms; contrapuntal melodies whose independent motion creates a deep harmonic resonance; and hovering, sumptuous atmospheric drones. It's never less than absorbing and otherworldly."

Nicholas Phillips' laudable new commissioning project, American Vernacular, featuring new solo piano works by composers ranging from David Rakowski to Ethan Wickman to Joel Puckett, was featured recently as Q2's Album of the Week as well as in a review in Sequenza 21.
"Phillips achieves the opposite with these endearingly modest interpretations. Some of the pieces in this program must be devilishly hard to play, but he'd much rather we notice the charm of the studies on "American Vernacular" than their difficulty." - Q2
"No matter the composers' inspirations, Nicholas Phillips delivers solid and engaging performances which give first-time listeners all the overt connections they need and all the nuance that repeat listenings can uncover. American Vernacular is well worth checking out for anyone interested in current trends of contemporary American piano music." - Sequenza21

Lipman's Bach is informed by his study of alternative manuscripts and a hybrid of his approaches to both early and modern instruments.

Phyllis Chen's new recording of adventurous works for toy piano, Little Things, will have a cd release event at Constellation in Chicago on the Frequency Series, curated by Peter Margasak, on October 13 at 8:30. http://www.constellation-chicago.com/event/359441-phyllis-chen-chicago/
Time Out New York calls Chen "a superb pianist and a brilliant advocate for the instrument's downscaled toy sibling." The recording was also reviewed in New Music Box:
"The disc's seven compositions—some concentrating on the instrument alone, others incorporating electronics, recorded vocals, and/or additional percussive sounds—span a compelling range of sonic worlds that dazzle with their creative use of the toy piano's unique timbre, the distinctly audible key strokes, and variously employed extended techniques. "
Tuesday, 01 October 2013
In promotion of her new solo flute record, Density, Claire Chase is performing the album in its entirety in shows in New York (10/3 The Kitchen), Philadelphia (10/9 Bowerbird), and Washington D.C.

Marilyn Nonken's dynamic performances of the music of Drew Baker on their New Focus release was featured in an insightful full length article in the British publication, International Piano.
"Nonken, director of piano studies at New York university's steinhardt school, has long been a believer that music can make powerful statements, and her latest album, Stress Position, reveals a telling narrative."
"But what is really interesting is how the composer and performer exploit the many colours of the keyboard. In the opening track, Gaeta (in which Baker also performs), the two pianos are transformed to sound almost ethereal"
Tuesday, 09 July 2013 Thursday, 29 January 2015

Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home is not far from my grandmother's house in Southern Indiana. I spent most of my summers with her, and she would take me to "ole Abe's house." Safe to say, I viewed Lincoln through the eyes of a hero-worshiping child.
As I grew and studied him, I realized he wasn't the pure knight with a single-minded abolitionist purpose. He had complex motivations resulting from his desire to save the union. Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day Lewis brought this complexity to the screen in the movie Lincoln.
Spielberg chose to illustrate Lincoln's complexity by focusing on the fight to pass the 13th amendment to the Constitution. This fight presents America in all of its complications, sadness, grossness, beauty, inspiring acts of moral courage, and our mistreatment of fellow human beings. Here, Lincoln becomes the embodiment of our American story. Spielberg shows that he wasn't above political tactics. And he paints a Lincoln who tries to respond to African Americans in the midst of his own confusion about their race. In the end, as America often does, Lincoln rises from the ashes of his own complicated humanity to become a legend of freedom.
The more I study history, the more I realize that human beings don't behave in neat, clean categories. None of us can truly be the "unsullied hero." Lincoln had to travel a journey often filled with bad decisions—what we would now consider racist opinions—grief, and pain. But he found his call: to liberate his brothers and sisters.
We can learn a lot in Lincoln's story as presented in the movie. Our shortcomings, blind spots, and outright sins can never be a block to pursuing our high calling. Nor should we expect those around us, and our heroes, to be picture perfect. We, and they, rarely are, and that's the glory of beauty from ashes.
TheHighCalling.org seeks to create opportunities for Christian leaders to encounter God through new media tools for the transformation of daily life, work, and our world. Christian leaders are in all aspects and activities of daily life—including home, community, leisure, as well as occupation.

Co-op Student - Customer Solutions Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at TELUS in February 2011.
A few days after applying for a Co-op student position, TELUS contacted all eligible students with a list of possible positions available across Canada. You had to pick your top 3, ranging from locations across Canada, different business units, and a 4 or 8 month term. After the decision it took a week to get an email from TELUS regarding the interview and time. Mine was in a TELUS office, because I am located in a city where there is one. The interview was entirely behaviour based and was conducted via a conference call with the recruiter, and face-to-face with the hiring manager. Two weeks later I was sent background check forms, and another week after that the offer was sent.

Echochrome II Review
Step into the shadows to enjoy this unique puzzler for the PlayStation Move.
When the original Echochrome was first released on the PSN over 3 years ago, it came with a distinctive niche appeal. The visual style, the music as well its Escher-esque gameplay were all elegant as well as original. However it came at a time when gamers were still waiting for those major titles that would justify the existence of Sony's pricey gaming-monolith, in other words, the complete opposite of what Echochrome seemed to be.
Three years on and Echochrome 2 finds itself in a very similar position yet for a different reason. Unlike the original, Echochrome 2 requires the PlayStation Move controller (released only a few months ago). And while the Move is by no means a flop, many gamers are still waiting for that Move 'killer app' that would justify the purchase, especially considering it's over 4 years behind the Wii in terms of its software catalogue. As interesting a puzzler as Echochrome 2 may be, it still can hardly qualify as that killer app.
The actual gameplay mechanics of Echochrome 2 are a bit different from the original although the same 'what looks possible is possible' premise still applies. The world of Echochrome 2 revolves around light and shadow. By shining a light on the convoluted geometric structures on the screen, you cast a 'flat' shadow on the wall and this is where the character will walk. The objective is to guide the character to the goal by moving the light position and, in turn, the path the character is to take.
Since the light source is controlled with the Move controller, it essentially works like pointing a flashlight at an object to create interesting (and in this case, traversable) shadows.
Naturally puzzles get more and more complicated as you progress and they begin to require extra care as moving the light around randomly can either get the character squished in between walls or cause him to plummet to his demise due to the ground shifting out from under him. There is also the added layer of unlocking 'shadow art' which is basically the silhouettes of different things (such as a robot or the sun) made by shining the light on an object from a specific position. A nice touch perhaps but it does not make for sustainable gameplay in itself. Echochrome 2 does however have new game modes besides the classic 'escort' mode. These additional modes namely 'echo' mode and 'paint' mode bring a little variety without really mixing up the core game mechanic. In 'echo' mode (a style of play reminiscent of the first game) the objective is to guide the character towards collecting each echo (a ghostly looking projection of the character himself). Paint mode is slightly different and resembles the general objective of the iOS game Zen Bound. Colored characters walk along the path, coloring the ground under them (or more precisely the objects that's shadow is being trampled on). The puzzle is cleared when a certain percentage of the overall level structure is colored. As mentioned earlier, these game modes do well to provide some variety to the gameplay as each existing puzzle can be played in all 3 modes.
The Scorecard | |||||||
Solving puzzles is not as rewarding as you'd like it to be but the mechanic is interesting and the premise works well. |
Appropriately simple but not as boldly so as its predecessor. Menus can be quite cluttered. | ||||
Beautiful. A brilliantly composed soundtrack which, word has it, was recorded as just one long track. And what a track it is. |
Slightly more expensive than most PSN titles but it makes up for this with three game modes, a create mode and access to user-generated content. Yet despite this 'wealth' of content, you may find the variety is only really knee deep. | ||||
Great use of the Move controller and an interesting game mechanic provides a unique and enjoyable experience. |
While Echochrome 2 is essentially a 'one-trick pony', it performs this trick rather well and in doing so becomes one of the few good games available for the PlayStation Move. It may be less compelling than the original but it is no less fun. |

Laser Bottle Marking at Crown Valley Brewery VIDEO
Matthews Marking Products recently installed a 30 watt laser system at Crown Valley Breweries for marking glass beer bottles.
The laser marking takes place directly on the glass bottle near the base. Bottles may vary in color (brown, clear and green) and sizes. Laser marking is an excellent solution when bottlers need indelible codes for product traceability and date/lot identification.

"According to the bylaw approved by residents in April, it will be illegal to sell non-sparkling and unflavored drinking water in single-serving plastic bottles of 1 liter or less in Concord on or after Jan. 1, 2013." Jean Hill, the chief proponent of the measure, cited environmental concerns and said, "I feel bottled water is a waste of money." Thanks for saving us from that temptation, ma'am! [Boston Globe; Wicked Local Concord]
Concord, Mass., bans single-serving plastic water bottles

How much would the empty water bottles actually hurt human life, as compared to all the cancerous high fructose corn syrup in all those other beverages that they will still allow to be sold?
- 3 09.09.12 at 10:43 am
Wait a second. I'm confused. I thought I wasn't supposed to drink more than 16 ounces, according to nanny Bloomberg.
I'm going to get very dehydrated under the reign of the insane liberals.
- 4 09.09.12 at 11:00 am
Wouldn't the logic that applies to a single serving of tap water be similar to a single serving of any beverage? How does adding high-fructose corn syrup make the contents of the bottle more special?
@dks2008, if the drinking water were contaminated, you'd probably want to buy more than 1 liter at a time. A five gallon bottle of water actually costs less than 1 liter, in many cases.
I can't help but to wonder if we wouldn't have been better off if the $billions spent on bottled water might have been better used to upgrade everybody's tap water.
Alas, city utilities don't have the sexy marketing resources of giant beverage corporations.
I'll kind of miss those smaller bottles that fit so nicely in the pockets of my backpack, but I can refill a soda bottle with tap water.

Well, the ban is only at the retail level now. Apparently transporting and possession aren't criminal offenses – yet.
Haven't any of these people heard of Prohibition? I'd love to own the closest retail outlet outside their border. Something tells me that store will have a significant increase in bottled water sales starting in 2013.
This is how Liberty will end – with a black market on bottled water. - 6 09.09.12 at 1:18 pm

I believe bottled water is a waste of money too (in general), but I would let the free market decide the question. But even I have been known to buy a bottle at grossly inflated prices on a hot day when I feel dehydrated rather than buy a sugary soda.
Also, in areas where the city water is of poor quality tastewise (Concord, MA comes to mind), buying a case of single serving bottles from Costco may make sense. I cannot imagine that the external costs of disposing of the flimsy plastic bottles is more than a penny each. Besides the Concord/Lincoln area in MA is very well-to-do and can afford this luxury.
- 10 09.09.12 at 8:42 pm
Actually, this is an important precedent for the notion that the government can ban a product merely because it asserts that buying the product would be a "waste of money." Historically, consumers were free to buy products that others considered a waste of money so long as certain health and safety regulations were met.
The notion that bottled water is environmentally unsafe seems specious on its face since it is obviously no more unsafe than every other bottled drink.
In the grand scheme of things, one municipality enacting a bizarre ban seems minor. But in the context of the nonsensical decade-long PR blitz against bottled water it's an important step to this new philosophy for the U.S. where people try to ban others – whose specific situation and preferences they know nothing about – from making purchases they disagree with.
The key question here is why Jean Hill, the "84-year-old Concord resident" believes she should have the right to determine whether the purchases of every other resident in Concord? Is she really smarter and more knowledgeable about every other resident's specific preferences and situation?
- 11 09.10.12 at 12:39 am
In answer to your question, yes, she is smarter than every other person now or ever living in Concord. Because. Just buy your water in Lexington.
- 12 09.10.12 at 7:36 am
I believe that bottled water is a waste as a daily purchase, but I'm sure not going to tell anyone how they should spend their own money.
Every person who has lived in Florida more than a couple months knows to keep several cases of bottled water on hand. We have those pesky storms called hurricanes, and after a hurricane you can be left without power and running water for days. Having your personal supply of drinking water available can be a lifesaver.
Of course, the fine folks of New England don't have to worry about hurricanes. Oh, wait:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Irene_(2011) - 13 09.10.12 at 12:15 pm
One liter or less…..hmmmm. I think someone will start selling 1.01 liter bottles in the near future.
- 14 09.10.12 at 12:31 pm
Yeah, @NoNameGuy. Or Nature flavored water.
BTW, I just spend $1.75 for 16 hours of water at a Mass Pike rest stop.

Why do they hate Freedom so much?

It's not the cheapest source of water, but I keep a flat of bottled water in my crew van for my employees. The bottles keep the water clean, and available. The bottles are portable and convenient. I suppose I could bolt an Eskimo Boy to the truck, but I would be concerned about the water and the paper cups getting contaminated.
- 17 09.10.12 at 6:18 pm
Fortunately it appears to still be legal to sell soft drinks full of sugar in single-serving bottles. So when you're thirsty in Concord, just reach for a sweet, sweet bottle of your favorite soda.
- 18 09.10.12 at 7:05 pm
Query — how does this not violate the dormant Commerce Clause analysis?
"I believe bottled water is a waste of money too (in general), but I would let the free market decide the question. But even I have been known to buy a bottle at grossly inflated prices on a hot day when I feel dehydrated rather than buy a sugary soda"You indirectly raise an objection I have to crap like this. My youngest is special needs. To avoid getting bladder infections and a host of other health problems, it is necessary that he drink a lot of water (16 to 24 oz)daily (and to avoid weight gain, and other problems up to and including Type II Diabetes, he shouldn't be drinking sugary drinks, or even diet drinks — if you look at what is in them, you'll understand that drinking several a day is likely unhealthy).
A very workable solution to that is one his dentist suggested — bottled water with non-sugar fruit flavorings. He'll add those to 2 to 4 8-oz water bottles each day, and so drink enough water without also drinking sugar and all the other stuff found in sugared and diet drinks. And, don't suggest that he should just take containers which I fill with water each day — tried that and the containers never came home with him. I don't know if they were thrown away or someone else took them, all I know is that they disappeared. I cannot afford to buy such containers each day, but the bottled waters are about $3 for 24 8-oz bottles, and so are nearly the cost of the boxes of non-sugar fruit flavorings. So for 50 cents to a dollar per day, he's getting the water intake he needs to stay healthy, without sugar or other things in sugary and diet drinks (the cost of which would run $4 to $6 per day for the same amount of fluids).
In my opinion, this ordinance is just another example of "feel good" progressiveism promoted by people who don't give a real damn about people with real needs. If you are concerned about the disposal costs of such plastic bottles, put a 1 or 2 cent return/deposit on them, and let the kids who collect cans from the side of the road have another source of income. Otherwise, the effects of such a law is to harm those who are least able to take care of themselves.

My husband and I live with my parents in TX now. We are thinking about to buy the house from my parents since there is tax credit this year. Do we have to put this house in the market to make the transaction? What is the easiest and cheapest way to make this transaction? If my parents transfer the title to us, do we still qualify to claim the first home buyer tax credit? Thanks in advance, Cowgirl |
Follow-Up Postings:
You don't have to put it on the market. I don't really think you need to even use an attorney for this as I didn't when we bought a house from my ex-MIL. All we did was get a mortgage and a title company did the paperwork to transfer the title and put the mortgage liens etc. and this was in TX. Are you getting a mortgage? If so they can likely recommend a title company to use as well, or you can ask friends who they've used. We've used many different ones over the years and I've not had any issues with any. |
Please sit down with an experienced tax person and ask questions. You do not qualify for the first time homebuyers credit if you purchase a home from a related party. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Form 5405
Also, if your parents just deed the property to you, there may be gift tax returns that need to be filed. You really need to sit down with an experienced tax professional. I'd suggest an enrolled agent who is generally less expensive than a tax attorney or CPA. Remember not all attorneys or CPAs are knowledgable about taxes. |
Hi! Relative selling to a relative does not qualify for the $8000 tax credit. Sorry for the bad news. mb |
If my parents transfer the title to us, do we still qualify to claim the first home buyer tax credit? Are you actually paying for the house? Stupid question but the way it reads is they are signing it over to you for no money. |

Going Organic
Dodo Organics Team
We are pleased to announce our supply partnership with
ChromaDex® Corporation (OTCBB: CDXC) and the launch of a series of gourmet snacks and grocery items focused on delivering superior nutrition from organic and natural sources.
Click on the picture of the blueberries below to view these new foods.
Organic Supply Chain Management
When we started looking at global supply chains for organic food, we did not fully comprehend the obstacles we would encounter in our attempts to influence the retail consumer.
Multi-dimensional and global in scope, Organic Revolution Worldwide (ORW) came up against entrenched distribution networks, logistical nightmares usually related to packaging and shipment NOT product design and a bevy of corporate buyers at large food companies in the United States more interested in preserving existing relationships than offering the consumer vital new items with significant nutritional content.
In our bid to harness all the internal and external aspects of the global supply chains dedicated to organic food, we found that providing the "best", "tastiest" or "healthiest" version of a cookie, cereal, nutrition bar or grain did nothing for our quest to reach the consumer with an affordable organic product.
We tried the obvious sales route, we tried promotions, we tried giving organic food away and had little to show for our efforts. When we created
Organic Revolution Worldwide
, we did not know that Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, which is focused on healthy eating but not organic products, would face similar entrenched interests in US school systems.
We have therefore decided to prove that we can deliver healthy organic nutrition at a level unseen in much of America's food industry by transforming fruit crop residuals coupled with proprietary blends into retail consumer products. We believe that we have access to the necessary partners, crops and technology to deliver best-of-breed affordable nutrition for every consumer.
Please join us on our organic journey as we reach out to the growers of organic fruit, the food processors who incorporate organic fruit into their products, professional chefs who understand that elusive blend of taste and nutrition and, of course, the consumer searching for the opportunity to experience new foods, new tastes and a better nutritional experience.
