BUZZ: Paul Badura-Skoda has earned a richly deserved reputation as one of the great classicists of his generation. It is a profile solidified by multiple recordings of the masterpieces of Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert, as well as pioneering period instrument performances and important scholarship. The average piano music fancier, especially in America, would be forgiven, then, to be unaware of his tremendous enthusiasm for the music of Frederic Chopin, as reflected in his Westminster recordings of the Polish composer's Concertos and Etudes. Chopin has never left the repertoire of Badura-Skoda. The Etudes, which he plays with extraordinary passion and vigor, are nearly as important to his career as a performing musician in Europe, as are the Beethoven sonatas. He is very proud to have been asked to judge at Chopin competitions, and believes that his reputation as an artist in Poland has been made more as a Chopin player than as a master of the Viennese classics. Here is his celebrated Westminster recording of the two Concertos with the Vienna Philharmonic (playing under a different name for contractual reasons), lovingly refurbished using the revolutionary new harmonic balancing system.

Maine Wedding, York Harbor Inn
Karina and Christian were married on a perfect fall day in Maine. The leaves had turned on the trees and just enough had fallen to the ground to shuffle as you walk. The native Mainers have opted to take their honeymoon during the winter months so I promised to get a couple of photos up here for a little peek.
Congratulations to you both!
Nantucket Wedding, The White Elephant
It may have been forecasted to rain last Saturday for Sara and Connor's wedding day but the sun was shining bright! Sara joked with me about how she prayed and prayed for 65 degrees and sunshine but neglected to pray about the wind, it was gusting 40 mph!
I had the most amazing time working with these two fantastic families over the last several months. It was the perfect way for me to wrap up my Nantucket wedding season.
I LOVE when couples see each other before the ceremony! The anticipation!
The decor was breathtaking! And all in shades of white by Soiree Floral.
Nantucket Wedding, Cisco Brewery
Big congratulations to Jim and Kim! These local islanders had a fantastic wedding day over the Columbus Day weekend. I loved to see so many familiar faces at their celebration and wanted to quickly share a couple of shots for the newlyweds and all their wonderful family and friends.
Nantucket Wedding, The Galley
The Galley is a spectacular venue located right on the beach on Nantucket and is known for it's breathtaking sunset views. Erin and Steve were married on the beach with the ocean as their backdrop on this falls most perfect day yet! Congratulations to you both!
I love that moment before the couple meets at the end of the aisle. The groom anxiously awaiting, holding his breath and the bride prepping to take the walk down the aisle. Such anticipation!
Nantucket Wedding, The Wauwinet
Melissa and Eric's Wauwinet wedding this past weekend was a picture-perfect fall day on Nantucket. Every detail was carefully selected, from the custom linens to the surprise groom's cake! The ocean and the sunset were the perfect backdrop for the couple's first dance on the Zen Deck.
My favorite part of the day was stealing them away for their portraits! Melissa looked amazing! I loved the details in her dress and her bouquet, by Soiree Floral, was the perfect compliment!
Melissa and Eric, hope you're having a blast in Bora Bora! It was a pleasure to work with you! Here's a sneak peek to hold you over until you get back from your honeymoon!
Nantucket Wedding, White Elephant.
What a perfect day on Nantucket for Janine and Fred's wedding. I was so excited for their intimate Nantucket nuptials, after all we had been chatting about all the details for well over a year! As promised here are a few for the happy couple.... aren't their smiles contagious?
Rhode Island Wedding, Blithewold Mansion
Yay! The day finally arrived and it was spectacular! Julie and Tony were married just this past Sunday on the gorgeous grounds at the Blithewold Mansion in Bristol, Rhode Island. I promised the newlyweds that I would post a few photos right away. The property had endless possibilities and photos were a major priority for this couple. So, here are a few shots to hold them over during their honeymoon.
Camden, Maine Wedding: Private Residence
It was a beautiful day in Camden for the wedding of Catherine and Ben! You may recognize them from my post on their e-session a few weeks ago. Well, their big day finally arrived and it was fantastic!
Photo Fun Booth is here!
Our Photo Fun Booth is here!
About two weeks ago we launched our Photo Fun Booth at a Cape Cod wedding.... and lets just say it was a BIG hit!
As you can see the Photo Fun Booth can add a little something "extra" to the after-dinner portion of your evening; with fun props and silly faces the photo booth brings all kinds of guests together! It was surprising how creative guests got when in the booth! It was impossible for anyone to walk away without a smile on their face.
The Photo Fun Booth is fully manned by one of our photographers to get the best shots possible AND get your guests rockin and rollin with some fun props (the sailors hat was a definite favorite of the night).
Want to get the booth for your event? Get in touch!
Cape Cod Wedding, Private Residence
Congratulations to Kerry and Paul! They were married this past Saturday in Harwichport, MA on a perfect summer day on the Cape. I can't wait to share many of the amazing moments from their wedding day, including the launch of our new photo booth (which requires a blog post of it's own). But here are just a couple for now...

Hear Zombi's Steve Moore Remix Shock's 'Heaven'
Members of Sorcerer and Rubies make soothing disco for grownups
There's nothing shocking about the Bay Area's Shock — not in the Jane's Addiction sense, nor by virtually any other metric of voltage, outrage, or seismic shudder. Quite to the contrary, the trio's warm, sedate style exemplifies a particularly refined kind of adult disco, in the tradition of Hatchback, Windsurf, and Sorcerer. (In fact, Dan Judd, of Sorcerer and Windsurf, plays synthesizers in the band, alongside guitarist Michael Taras and the bassist and singer Terri Loewenthal, of the band Rubies.) But just because it's not likely to wake the toddlers doesn't mean that the music itself is a snooze. "Heaven," their debut single, spins echoes of Giorgio Moroder, Blondie, and even early Cure into woozy, whispery disco that works equally well for babysitting and baby-making.
Released on San Francisco's Voltaire Records — home also to Publicist (Sebastian Thomson of Trans Am and Weird War), DMX Krew, and Lovelock (Zombi's Steve Moore) — the single features remixes from likeminded horizontal-disco adepts Hatchback, Steve Moore, Chautaqua, and Broker Dealer's Ryan Bishop, a.k.a. the Beat Broker. Moore's remix is the dreamiest of the bunch, with a twinkling synthesizer arpeggio layered over a lazy four-to-the-floor beat and suffused in oodles of reverb. Maybe the title refers to sugar shock, because this mix is as fluffy and sweet as cotton candy.

Showtime Orders Musical Comedy Pilot CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND Starring Rachel Bloom
By Jake Kroeger on June 23, 2014
As of late, Showtime has been keen on the rise in comedy on cable, adding quite a few new comedies to their stable. Over the last few months, they ordered a pilot of Cameron Crowe's rock concert comedy Roadies, bought a comedy about a law firm from the creator of UK's Spy as well as one that follows an up-and-coming Jewish stand-up comedian. Their latest addition to their growing comedy development slate is a pilot order for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, a "comedy with musical elements" starring and centered around musical comedian Rachel Bloom.
For those not familiar, you might have seen some of Bloom's work on Adult Swim's Robot Chicken as she has worked as one of the show's staff writers. Bloom also does quite a bit of solo performing, having a decidedly dark comedic edge to her songs and dance numbers as you can see in her music video for "NOBODY WILL WATCH THE F*CKING TONY AWARDS WITH ME". She's even recorded two albums, one of which is delightfully titled Suck It, Christmas!!! (A Chanukah Album). Having also been featured at Just For Laugh Montreal, Showtime's interest was peaked and has since attached Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb and writer Aline Brosh McKenna, who has written a number of successful female-driven comedies for the big screen including her adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada. Hopefully, this will make it to series and there will be more musical comedy regularly on television besides Glee.
What's your favorite musical comedy group/series? Let us know in the comments below.

I bought this cooktop less than a year ago. I was looking for one with great features and different temperatures for the burners. This has it all and is great looking in person. It even has a child safety lock for those with children who likes to explore. Worth the money and even my husband who doesn't cook much but does like to cook breakfast on the weekends absolutely loves this top range cause you can move a pot from one burner to the next without worrying that the pot will fall over. Highly recommended. Absolutely love this in the black on black gloss look.

This is the second GE cooktop I have installed, the first having shattered when something fell from a relatively short distance and broke the ceramic/glass. This is one problem, even though the high-fired surface is resistant to stains and such. The cooktop works well and is very attractive. On the "con" side, the control knobs are really old-fashioned and prone to slipping because of the poorly designed connector tube on the inside. While the ceramic surface is elegant, it is almost impossible to eradicate smudges when cleaning-I have tried everything from cooktop cleaning liquids to windex to ammonia to white vinegar. By far the most egregious design flaw are the cover plates for each burner. The underside metal plate is loose and falls off easily when cleaning. And, to replace the cast aluminum underplate, it is necessary to match small plugs to holes--each of the four burners have a different configuration, and the smallest falls off whenever a cleaning cloth is brought near it. Overall, performance is good but the GE designers should look again at the burner plate situation.

Looks great
By Papio
from Papillion, NE, United States
We've had our cooktop for a few months and love it. It looks so nice in the kitchen. Coming from a white cooktop to the black has been a bit of an adjustment. Be prepared for smudge marks - wouldn't trade it though because it's so easy to clean!
Great features & quick cooking
By violin1kw
from Cincinnati, OH, United States
We greatly enjoy using our gas cooktop from GE. I love that it has a lock so that the cats or my daughter cannot accidentally bump the burners and turn on the gas. Only thing I don't love is the glass under the burners can be difficult to clean.
Small and weird burner positions
By Chitra
from Ashburn, VA, United States
We got this in our new home and been using this for 8 months now ..Its very difficult to work with when you have all four burners on and pots on them, as there is no space between the burners. The power boil burner is in the front with the tiniest burner behind it. Very difficult to reach to it when you have a pot on the power boil burner which is usually going to be a big pot.The glass top is only making things more difficult with cleaning . I had to scrape it like really really well to get the grease marks out.

Switch from electric to gas ... smart choice! Best 30 inch cooktop.
Smooth Operator!

This is a very nice product. Operation is smooth and dependable. Only complaint is that when I use the fast boil function the flame is too close to the front edge. This burner would have been better placed in the rear.

I really like to eat. Like a lot.
I think breakfast, lunch, AND dinner are all the most important meals of the day. (This is why I try to work out so much, because I'm always eating.) On top of my three square (usually) meals, I am a pretty big snacker, too. If I could eat whatever I wanted, I'd go for nacho cheese Doritos every time. Because I just can't eat like that whenever I want + I definitely wouldn't want to offend you with Doritos breath (no really – Doritos give you the worst breath!), I've turned to alternatives like whole wheat pita chips + my newest love/ favorite snack: kale chips.
Kale is super healthy for you since it's high in fiber, vitamin A, and calcium among other things. It tastes pretty good raw, but it's truly awesome when thrown in the oven and made into chips. Kale chips totally curb my salty/ crunchy cravings and they are way more filling than they look!
Basically, I get this bag of kale from Trader Joe's…
…and in a few simple steps I turn it into this. Voila!
Here's the kale chips recipe I've been using lately:
What you need:
8 cups of kale
1 Tbsp of olive oil
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder
1/2 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of black pepper
How you do it:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line sheet pan with parchment paper. Remove stems from kale. Tear into very large pieces. (Chips will shrink considerably.) Wash kale. Dry in a salad spinner or with paper towels. Make sure it's fully dried.
In a large bowl, add kale, oil, and seasonings. Stir to coat evenly. Add kale to parchment lined sheet plan in a single layer. Bake in batches for about 8 minutes until edges are slightly brown. (Start checking your chips at about 6 minutes.) Do not allow to overcook – they can go from perfectly crisp to completely burnt in a matter of seconds. Enjoy!
Happy healthy cooking + eating, y'all!
xx, L

I stumbled upon this article about issues currently facing academic libraries. It's definitely worth a read. Three overall categories jumped out at me.
The first is about literacies, both of the librarians and the students. Point three is about passing along different literacies to the students, and moving beyond the one-time "how to use a library" session. The author also calls out, though, new things in which librarians must become fluent–massive open online courses (MOOCs), web development and the ability of librarians to manage their own online content, and a new understanding of humanities and social science research that is hard data-based. I find it extremely interesting that two out of three points are about literacies the librarians must develop. We pride ourselves on being purveyors of knowledge, and yet these are issues that are not being addressed on our end.
The other two umbrella themes tie into my library management course. The issue of vendor clout is a business topic that runs through this article. The potential incorporation of ebooks into collections, software licenses and user privacy, and librarians doing their own web development instead of relying on outside companies points to a need for business negotiation skills. Vendors still have a lot of influence and are in a position of power in vendor/library relationships. If librarians are trained in these kinds of vendor negotiation and technology skills, academic libraries can assert themselves more strongly in these issues.
Secondly, the author brings up a need for what I would call "business techniques"–making budgets, librarians trained in management, and the need for effective change management.
These struck me as interesting since the incorporation of "business" topics and techniques into librarianship is often a hot topic of debate in LIS literature–often being argued against. This could perhaps indicate a divide between the theoretical foci of the field and the "on the ground" realities.
What do you think?

Making the point to pigeons: push off!
Mansfield District Council has taken steps to protect one of the town's most historic and recognisable public buildings from the perennial problem of pigeons.
700 square metres of netting has been fixed to the roof of the Old Town Hall in Mansfield Market Place to prevent the pigeons from nesting there.
The work has been carried out by the Mansfield building maintenance specialists Hi-Lift Access Solutions.
The droppings from the pigeons are acidic and can erode stonework resulting in the decay of historic buildings and expensive repair bill. Gutters and drainpipes can also become blocked causing flooding and needing costly repairs.
Mansfield's Old Town Hall was opened in 1837 and is reported to have caused a huge amount of public interest when the clock on the front of the building was illuminated for the first time in that year.
1.5 tonnes of pigeon droppings were removed from the building in the last year alone.
Councillor Kate Allsop, Portfolio Holder for Regeneration at commented: "I welcome the introduction of this netting."
"The Old Town Hall is one of Mansfield's most prominent public buildings and it is appropriate that Mansfield District Council is proactively taking steps under the Public Health Act to safeguard it and save the District's residents from an expensive repair bill."
As well as causing damage to buildings; pigeons and their droppings can be injurious to public health.
Although cases of illness resulting from pigeons are rare, they carry diseases which can prove fatal, including:
- Psittacosis, a type of pneumonia, which can kill.
- Candida Albicans which can cause skin diseases.
- Shigella species, which causes vomiting and diarrhoea.
- Ornithosis, a flu-like disease borne by birds.
- Chiamdiosis, a virus similar to influenza.
- Campylobacter coli, which may cause food poisoning.
