49ers' Delanie Walker hopes to return
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco tight end Delanie Walker has returned to practice for the first time since breaking his left jaw in two places late in the regular season and hopes to be healthy enough to play in the NFC Championship Game.
Walker had the wires removed on Monday and took part in practice on a limited basis with no contact on Wednesday. He was out there again during the open media portion on Thursday.

"I didn't do too much, so I won't say I was rusty," Walker said before Thursday's practice. "I feel like I was good. Everybody said I looked faster and that I looked like I was over-hyper. Because you get back on the field, you try to do everything full speed."
Coach Jim Harbaugh said Thursday that Walker's status is up to team doctors and Walker said he will push to get on the field on Sunday against the New York Giants.
"If they leave it up to me, of course I'm going to play," Walker said. "I want to help my team out, and this is a big game, and I feel like if I'm out there maybe I can help out with the offense."
Walker broke his jaw in two places when he took a knee to the face from Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill in the first quarter Dec. 24.
Walker is a key part of San Francisco's offense as the 49ers used at least two tight ends on the field more than any other team in the regular season.
The 49ers ran 43 percent of their plays this season with two or more tight ends, compared to a league average of 26 percent, according to STATS LLC.
Walker was tied for fourth on the team in the regular season with 19 catches for 198 yards and three touchdowns. Justin Peelle, the third string tight end, had just one catch in the regular season.
"Delanie is a very key cog in what we do," offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. "He's talented physically. He's talented with what he can handle in terms of game planning. The load we put on him is very unique to what most players get in the NFL, or anywhere for that matter. He brings speed, playmaking ability, the ability to block in a variety of ways -- in space, in the box. He's just a dynamic tight end."
NFC West Blog
ESPN.com's Mike Sando writes about all things NFC West in his division blog.
Walker had his most productive game of the season against the Giants in November, when he caught six passes for 69 yards in a 27-20 victory. Roman said he is putting together separate game plans for if Walker is ready to play or if he has to sit out.
With Walker sidelined last week, Vernon Davis set an NFL postseason record for tight ends with 180 yards receiving in a 36-32 win over the New Orleans Saints.
He caught seven passes and scored two touchdowns, including the game-winner with 9 seconds remaining.
Walker is testing out a new helmet this week with a bigger facemask and wider area around the jaw to see if he can play with that on Sunday.
Walker said doctors told him that his left jaw is now as strong as the right side and there is little chance of re-breaking it in the same places.
"But it's possible it can happen," he said. "This is football, and they warned me of that. But I feel confident in myself in my doctors feel confident in me to let me go out there with a helmet and do a little bit, so I'm confident that I can do whatever I can to be out there."

Yes, I recommend this product.
"First of all, I'm NOT an ultra-runner. In fact, I don't particularly *like* to run at all, but it's good, convenient, and much-needed exercise. So when I run, I want some cushioning, need some stability, and also want my shoes to weigh next to nothing. Impossible, right? Until I met these guys, I thought it was! They've saved me from at least 6 sprained ankles and provide an astonishing amount of traction in slippery conditions. I even like the tongue design and the laces. I think they run a little big in the toe box, but I'm sure that's the idea for distance runners. Once you get them tied comfortably, you don't even have to think about them on your run. And if you're like me and don't really *want* to be running anyway, these shoes won't give you any excuse to turn around early. :-)"

SEM on Mobile Devices
- 17
- Oct
The creation of the Internet has changed the way we gather information and the way we do business. While previously requiring a wired connection to access the web, new wireless and satellite advancements have brought the Internet out of the office and into the hands of consumers. Top makers of cell phones and PDAs have now begun implementing Internet browsing capabilities into these "go-anywhere" wonders of technology. With this in mind, businesses may be changing their minds on the budgetary restrictions for their marketing expenditures.
When browsing, or more specifically searching, on a web-enabled mobile device, limited screen size and scrolling difficulties hinder the user from seeing the same number of search results as on a normal PC. This makes it virtually impossible for a business with a 7th ranked page, for example, from being seen by potential customers. While viewing options are improving, there are limits to the size screen a person would be willing to slip into their pocket or handbag.
This reality can be quite disconcerting to those businesses that have spent thousands to have their site optimized for search engine listings. Certain keywords for each industry are in high demand and becoming one of the top three natural listings on a page of search results can be challenging.
More and more companies today are offering marketing solutions resulting in higher search listing results and a more broad reach for a clients business information. With the popularity of web-capable mobile devices on the rise and the subsequent decrease in price that comes from a competitive market environment, online marketing firms are receiving more business than ever.

As Israeli-Palestinian talks sink, fringe ideas gain traction
As time passes and a two-state solution looks less feasible, Israelis and Palestinians are more seriously considering ideas like a binational state.
Mohamad Torokman/Reuters
Tel Aviv
As another round of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks faltered on Wednesday, a growing number of Israelis and Palestinians say that the status quo is rapidly approaching a point at which establishing a Palestinian state alongside Israel is impossible or unrealistic.
"I still believe that two-state solution is the only solution and is possible," says Ron Pundak, an Israeli academic who started the informal peace talks with Palestinians that led to the Oslo Accords. "But I am afraid we will lead ourselves to a situation where the two-state solution is not viable, or people will think it's not viable, which is almost as bad."
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas reportedly told Jordan's King Abdullah that a series of Amman meetings between negotiating envoys had run their course and that the Palestinians would seek the advice of the Arab League on the next step in their pursuit of statehood.
But several factors are expected to make it increasingly difficult for Israel to extract itself from the West Bank to create a Palestinian state: the rising number of Jewish settlers, eroding political will to order a painful and expensive withdrawal, and a drop in public support for a compromise.
What will come in place of the two-state solution? Suggestions range from a new Palestinian uprising, to a binational state, to a continuation of the status quo.

Serves: 12
Total Time: 4 hr
Oven Temp: 350
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 1 (16-pound) fresh turkey
- 1 tablespoon(s) canola oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 lemon, halved
- 6 clove(s) garlic, crushed
- 6 large thyme sprigs
- 4 large rosemary sprigs
- 4 large sage sprigs
- 1 bay leaf
- 3/4 cup(s) apricot jam
- 1.5 tablespoon(s) fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoon(s) grated lemon zest
- 1.5 tablespoon(s) finely chopped sage
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 cup(s) turkey stock, chicken stock, or low-sodium broth
- 4 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon(s) chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon(s) finely chopped sage
- 1 teaspoon(s) chopped thyme
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- To make turkey: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove turkey from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before roasting. Pat turkey dry and set it on a V-shaped rack in a large roasting pan. Rub turkey all over with oil and season it inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff cavity with lemon halves, crushed garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, and bay leaf. Roast turkey about 2 1/2 hours, until golden all over and an instant-read thermometer inserted between leg and thigh registers 165 degrees.
- Meanwhile, to make glaze: In a small bowl, mix apricot jam, lemon juice, lemon zest, and sage and season with salt and pepper. Microwave glaze until thinned slightly, about 20 seconds.
- Brush turkey with half of glaze and roast about 15 minutes, until skin is mahogany-colored. Brush turkey with remaining glaze and roast about 15 minutes longer, until skin is deep mahogany and an instant-read thermometer inserted between leg and thigh registers 175 degrees. Tilt turkey to drain all juices from cavity into roasting pan. Transfer turkey to a carving board and let rest 45 minutes.
- To make gravy: Skim fat from drippings in roasting pan. Set roasting pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Add turkey stock and cook 2 minutes, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and cook over moderate heat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain 3 1/2 cups of liquid in roasting pan into saucepan and whisk to blend. Bring gravy to a simmer and cook over moderately low heat, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley, sage, and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Pour gravy into a small pitcher. Carve turkey and serve with gravy.

They are the ownership is root and the permissions vary, with root always having rwx. Then the user changes to lfs which leads to the fact that most of the package files could not be opened.

Last evening the FBI arrested a home grown Jihadist who had plotted to detonate a large vehicle bomb at a popular Christmas event in Portland, OR. The would be terrorist is a 19 yr old by the name of Mohamed Osman Mohamud, who is an immigrant from Somalia, now naturalized American citizen, and full time student at Oregon State University.
The FBI had intercepted Internet communications between Mohamud and Jihadists located in the infamous NW region of Pakistan. Posing as fellow Jihadists, FBI agents then pretended to provide him with explosives, to carry out his murderous plans to slaughter hundreds of Christian families celebrating the start of the Christmas season with a huge Christmas tree lighting ceremony in downtown Portland, OR.
Several thousand people attended this event last night, including hundreds of families with children. They were all packed tightly together into Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square. A van, which the FBI tricked Mohamud into believing was packed with six 55 gallon containers of explosives, was parked by Mohamud right next to the crowd.
When he later used a cell phone in an attempt to detonate the supposed bomb, FBI agents immediately arrested him. As he was led away, he repeatedly screamed:
"Allahu Akhkbar"
over and over again.
What a fiendish and barbaric plan! To slaughter innocent families with children out celebrating the start of the Christmas Season? I can hardly imagine anything more depraved and inhuman than doing that.
Just think if a plot like this had been able to actually take place and succeed? This could have been a slaughter to rival the attack of 9/11.
Here Americans have shown this young Somalia man nothing but kindness and charity: Giving him a new home, all the rights of being an American citizen, and even helping him attend Oregon State University as a full time student.
And this is how he repaid all of this kindness? Unbelievable!! Don't you think? It boggles the mind!
We really have to start thinking about the kind of soft targets that the Jihadists are going to target. I'm beginning to think that targets related to Christianity may be high on their list.
Here is a photo of the massive crowd that was assembled last night at the event, all packed together in the square. How many people could a large vehicle bomb have killed and maimed, if exploded so close to such a concentrated crowd?
Here is a link to a complete news report about his Terrorist plot:
And here is a photo of the Jihadist Mohamed Osman Mohamud:
All I can say is thank God for the FBI !!

Matira Beach
Bora Bora
French Polynesia
French Polynesia
Concierge.com's insider take:
French Polynesia is littered with little huts serving fast food—all with names beginning with "Snack"—that offer hearty open-air meals on the go. Snack Matira, little more than a set of whitewashed gates with a roof (you'll spot it right away with its border of red Coca-Cola flags), is conveniently located on the beach between the Hotel Bora Bora and Matira Point, and serves up especially fresh and tasty regional staples, including chop suey, rare steak, grilled fish with vanilla sauce, and ice cream.

Council passes pair of bylaws to allow City to borrow $9 millionBy: Sara Wilson | Posted: Thursday, Feb 20, 2014 06:00 am Airdrie City council voted unanimously in favour of second and third reading of a pair of debenture bylaws that will see the City borrow more than $9 million, on Feb. 17. The projects getting the go ahead are the reconstruction of 40th Avenue and the construction of a west Airdrie reservoir pumphouse. Total project cost for 40th Avenue is slated at $6.6 million and the cost associated with the reservoir pumphouse is set at $12.6 million, both construction projects were approved in the 2014 budget by council on Dec. 16, 2013. Council approved first reading on bylaws on Jan. 20 that would allow the City to debenture $6.2 million for the reservoir pumphouse and $3.2 million for 40th Avenue. Construction of 40th Avenue is expected to commence this spring and the roadway will be a two-lane connecting route between the neighbourhoods of Cooper�s Crossing and Hillcrest. Mayor Peter Brown explained on Jan. 20 the need for borrowing the funds was to stay out in front of the development needs of the community. �We�re looking ahead to what the community needs and the development levies that we have collected have not covered the costs of these projects,� said Brown. �These debentures will be paid off in full from the interest collected from development levies.� There was no date set for start of the projects as of press time. Freedom to Read week From Feb. 24 to March 1 will now be known as Freedom to Read week at the Airdrie Library. The nation-wide program aims to promote literacy enthusiasts with books that have been deemed �banned� by government regulations. The family event has readers placed �behind bars� until bidders have reached a set amount of money to let the reader out of jail. See related story on page 13. Time honoured Brown presented honourary rocks to Aldermen Ron Chapman, Allan Hunter, Kelly Hegg and Fred Burley for time served on council. The award commends the five, 10 and 15 year increments of service. City Manager Paul Schulz presented Brown with a honourary rock for his first term of service. �It�s not very common to have a first-year politician come in and move into the mayor chair,� Schulz said. �The Airdrie rock is the celebration of years of service and the foundation of the rock is the bedrock of the City of Airdrie,� he said. Challenges issued Burely informed council of the Boys and Girls Club�s April 26 Roaring 20�s gala, and made a motion to challenge all councillors who could not attend to sell a table of eight in their place. �Each ticket is $50 so if you sell a table of eight it would be a $400 donation,� he said. �If we can (try) to get the community more involved.� Hunter put forward a motion to direct staff to look into initiating a reading board in City Hall, where upcoming public hearings and open houses for municipal issues could be posted to help the public see what issues are before council. Both motions were unanimously approved. Comments

Carotid Artery Endarterectomy
The carotid artery carries blood through the neck to the brain. Blockage of this artery can lead to brain damage called a stroke.
A carotid artery endarterectomy is a surgery to remove the deposits from this artery. Deposits in arteries result in plaque. This can slow and even stop blood from flowing through the artery.

SushiSamba Coral Gables Now Serves Breakfast (Photos)
SushiSamba has gone from SoBe's beaches-and-babes party scene to a more formal affair with the opening of a seventh location worldwide in Coral Gables at the Westin Colonnade. For those who work, live, or play in Coral Gables, mornings just got a little brighter with the introduction of the first SushiSamba breakfast menu.Photos by Carla Torres Who doesn't want dumplings for breakfast?
We know what you're thinking: Sushi for breakfast? But you're wrong. You'll get not only raw fish offerings but also juice and batidos, formulated and customized for you. Who says 7 a.m. is too early to be a mixologist? Short Order recently sampled some of the breakfast items.
See also: -SushiSamba Opens in Coral Gables Today: Brazilian, Japanese and Sexy
Executive chef Brian Nasajon has conceptualized dishes that mix traditional breakfast flavors with the Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian influences that make SushiSamba a staple on the dining scene. Think steak and eggs, except the steak is SushiSamba's style of picanha (cooked your way) with eggs (also your way) and a potato hash and sour tomatillo salsa ($15), or revisit your childhood with a warm PB&J made with house-made peanut butter, caramelized banana, and a choice of house compote ($10). This ain't no quicker-fixer-upper PB&J. It's Coral Gables, after all.
A juice and batido bar lets you make your own morning blend by choosing from a selection of the following ingredients: one water (coconut, cucumber, watermelon, or aloe); one milk (whole, skim, or house-made cashew, almond, and Brazil nut); one seasonal fruit (papaya, strawberry, banana, pineapple, peach, orange, Asian pear, mango, passionfruit, or seasonal berry); and one enhancer -- because everyone needs to be enhanced in the a.m. -- (ginger, elderflower nectar, parsley, kale, açaí, cilantro, mint, and avocado). They can be made virgin ($5) or with a shot of cachaça ($7).
We opted for a virgin watermelon water, almond milk, passionfruit, and ginger concoction. Virgin or not, though, this thing will have you going all day.
A fruit salad features peach, Asian pears, avocado, seasonal berries, and elderflower ($9).

1.Velum templi
The inner life of Gesualdo's important music stems from the unpredictable expressive inflections of speech. As ambitious poets of later centuries would claim for their work, each work by Gesualdo, who wrote many of his own texts, attempts to give utterance to a sound that has never before existed in the world. In pursuit of that goal, almost all of his music is through-composed, following constantly changing trajectories. The only exceptions are the Tenebrae Responsories for Holy Week, which are bound to follow an aBcB sectional pattern. Despite their formal constraints, Gesualdo is utterly himself in these works, and brings newness into the world with them in other ways. In 1611 the complete Responsories, a liturgical cycle of Passion texts, had not often been set. Composers seeking a large-scale form in which to work out larger musical problems turned mostly to the Mass. Christobal de Morales, was perhaps the only composer to set the entire cycle during the entire first half of the 16thcentury. More were composed during the second half of the century, but it remained fairly unusual and never gained the prominence of the Mass.Velum templi is the second Ressponsory in the cycle for Good Friday. "Tenebrae" means essentially "dark and light". In the ceremonies for Holy Week numerous candles were lit in the church and then extinguished one by one. This ritual symbolised the darkness of the crucifixion, when the light of Christ went out of the world. Gesualdo was himself in the darkest period of his life when he composed these, his final lonely, demented years. Judging by the emotional intensity of these works, many believe he identified his own struggles with those of Christ. Far from blasphemous, such identification follows a Jesuit injunction that artists dealing with the Passion must sense the horrors personally. Gesualdo sets every word he can in the most intense, emotive way possible using all musical means at his disposal. He never lets us escape.

2.Vinea mea electa
If people wonder why Gesualdo, a natural innovator and highly dramatic composer, didn't work in the theatrical forms emerging during his time, let it be pointed out that the service for the Responsories of Holy Week was visually the most dramatic and theatrical of the entire church year. There's little doubt that Gesualdo found an opportunity in the Responsory cycle to dramatize his own internal struggles. Few composers of his time or before approached these texts with anything but calm detachment; Gesualdo's overflow with emotion.During the service, the church is illuminated by a number of candles and lamps that are extinguished one by one over the course of the days, until a lone candle remains. That is then hidden behind the altar so that only its faint luminescence is visible. Finally, after the prayer Respice, quaesmus Domine "…a noise is made by knocking on the stalls of the choir until the lighted candle re-appears behind the altar. All then rise and retire in silence." Only the dictates of musical style imposed by the forces of the counter-reformation seem to have hindered more composers from seizing on this extraordinary opportunity at dramatic expression.
Vinea mea electa is the third of the nine Responsories. It shows among other things how Gesualdo was able to build a complete harmonic design almost entirely on triads. His 'unprepared dissonances' in fact are almost always deliberate enharmonic movements away from whatever key he's clearly working in, so when, for example, a tooth-aching dissonance emerges on the word 'bitterness' its full strength is experienced. How else could Gesualdo's crunchy harmonic language continue to attract so much troubled attention? Without his deliberate setting and breaking from keys, the chromaticisms and dissonances would flatten out into boring, undifferentiated muck that no one would have time to bother with. Instead we have a terrifyingly well-composed, and functionally tonal music that carves shapes of the deepest anguish upon the material of our minds.

3.Tamquam ad latronem
Music and architecture, especially in conjunction with each other, were understood by the forces of the counter-reformation as the church's most powerful tools of propaganda. They make the most obvious and irresistible appeal to human emotions. One of the main objectives for the churchly arts established was that the act of worship must be made to glow with an emotional zeal that will enrapture the heart. In part this made room for the allowance of intense chromaticism within church music, because as such it did not interfere with or contradict the other dictum that text must be set so that it remains clear and comprehensible. A composer before Gesualdo named Vincentino in fact had specifically been solicited by the church to write a mass "in the chromatic manner," although the work does not survive.Gesualdo's highly chromatic Tenebrae Responsoria for Holy Week therefore had a context in musical practice and thinking at the time. He was far less artistically isolated than is often assumed. Indeed he was a passionate, violent, eccentric man, and those personal qualities do come forth in the music. But the intensity of emotion in his sacred music and its chromaticism, especially the Responses, was quite in line with counter-reformationist passions and ideas. St. Ignatius, if he listened, certainly would've understood what Gesualdo was getting at. As per Jesuit injunctions to artists, he fully identified his own sorrows with those of Christ so as to truly know their horrors. In the process he produced a terrifying music of incomparable emotional power.

4.Tenebrae factae sunt
The texts of the Tenebrae Responses for Holy Week are unquestionably some of the most affecting in the entire Catholic liturgy. Despite this, when Gesualdo came to compose his highly expressive works on the texts, there was literally no precedent. As if in timidity before words of such vast religious import, being the Passion, the few composers previous to him who composed Responsorial cycles used music that was rather simple and emotionally toned-down, solemn and grave, often barely even polyphonic. In working in this mode, Gesualdo was also dealing with formal constraints of a kind he had never dealt with before. Virtually all of his other music is through-composed, and gossamer to say the least, while Responsories have to follow an aBaC sectional pattern. Yet he seems to have found in the texts points of identification with his own anguish, and in doing so easily overcame the formal obstacle. Such identification with the suffering of Jesus was perfectly in line with Jesuit teachings to artists, and in those terms entirely appropriate.Tenebrae factae sunt, the fifth of the nine-part Responsory cycle, in line with the text which begins "Darkness descended..." is one of its bitterest contributions. From a somber chordal opening, the piece unfolds into a network of gorgeous, anguished dissonances sharing space with relatively normal counterpoint. Its as if two conflicting musics were sounding concurrently. What this ensures in expressive terms is that the presence of the most lyrical phraseology is always felt, no matter how hard the dissonances get. Gesualdo's application of his identification with Christ, however, stretched far beyond his music. He in fact kept as many as 13 hired servants who's sole task was to beat and or flog him everyday, part of an ongoing ritual of purgation for his guilt over earlier crimes. Like a van Gogh of music, Gesualdo paid for every brilliant, unforgettable note with miles of mental anguish of a kind few artists ever walk.
© All Music Guide
5.Animam meam dilectam
Most of the last years of Gesualdo's life were spent in a deepening domestic crisis, while his disturbed mental state rapidly worsened. Having brutally murdered his first wife in 1590, he married for a second time, to Leonora D'Este, in 1594, while at Ferrara. In just three years the second marriage had utterly deteriorated, due, according to all contemporary accounts, to his severe mistreatment of her and his frequent infidelities. It was the heat of scandal and scorn that drove him back to his hometown of Gesualdo sometime before 1597. Living with a wife who rightly hated him for his abuses, and tried unsuccessfully to file for divorce, he entered a period of personal darkness and mental decline that, ironically, led him to compose some of his greatest music. These were the last two books of madrigals and the great Tenebrae Responsorial cycles for Holy Week.All of Gesualdo's Responsories make vivid use of contrasts of various kinds, drawing their technical resources, if not their character, from his madrigals. Animam meam, the sixth of nine responses for Food Griday, is even more madrigal-like than most, with sudden chatty outbursts directly juxtaposed with solemn passages of chordal homophony, and a frequently thin texture. In listening to his infamous harmonic language here, consider most of all how swiftly, and deftly the harmonic inflections change. Gesualdo, if highly eccentric was a virtuoso and careful master, always in complete control. Within a single phrase we're drawn through a splendid range of suggestive colorings so swiftly we begin to hear some of the harmonies like puns; single units invested with multiple meanings, each of which is perceptible. It's more than the ear, much less the heart, can hold.
© All Music Guide
6.Tradiderunt me
In his Responsories for Holy Week, Gesualdo draws on many of the techniques that distinguish his madrigals, the works for which he is most infamous. Whereas his use of chromaticism is usually cited as the distinguishing mark, it is not the way in which he most completely broke with his tradition. Polyphonic continuousness was the ideal for music of the day, and Gesualdo does his best to cram a diversity of textures and effects into a single work within a short space of time. Chromatic and diatonic, homophonic, polyphonic, sudden shifts in meter and mood, sudden breathless stops; constant changes like these derail the solemn Palestrinian flow, contrasting ideas pound into each other like an automobile accident pile-up. Marenzio's music can also be described this way, but Gesualdo better holds our imagination because of the tormented emotional world he is describing. Marenzio's music remains virtuosically fun and fluffy, Gesualdo speaks from the bottom of his anguished soul.That is especially so in the Responsories, where Gesualdo seems to be identifying his own self-made torments with the sufferings of Christ. The kind of self-inflation that involves, if absurd in a personal sense, is the kind that leads to music of the most extraordinary intensity. Think of Beethoven. Tradiderunt me is seventh in a nine-piece cycle. Not the greatest of these amazing works by any means, it possesses all of their essential qualities and characteristics. But perhaps the beauty of the homophonic passages and overall denser texture distinguish it. It is at times almost purely chordal, achieving an absorbing organ-like giganticness through Gesualdo's careful, constant manipulations of every dimension of the music.
© All Music Guide
Gesualdo, far from being a mere historical aberration or dabbler as he's been called, must be counted among a group of extraordinary late sixteenth century Italian composers who, in their search for means of text-expression in music, transfigured Renaissance music, bringing it to its stylistic apex, then pushed it beyond. A horribly melancholy, excessive man, his main musical forerunner was Luzzaschi, whose style, in the furnaces of Gesualdo's tormented imagination, became something both stranger and more fiercely expressive. The main, and most extreme, innovations are heard in his madrigals, where unprepared dissonance, a severe habit of chromaticism (which makes them like fruit-punch spiked methylated spirits), bold motivic gestures, and rhythmic modulation threaten to break the music apart, but he always manages to arrive at perfectly satisfying cadences. Generally more stylistically timid in his sacred motets, Gesualdo uses almost his entire arsenal of expressive madrigalistic effects in his cycle of responsories for Holy Week, in a slowed down, and more cautious manner. Works like Caligaverunt oculi mei are like spiritual madrigals, and among the most impressive works in Gesualdo's oeuvre. Its slowness is one of its virtues; instead of seeming eccentric or off-kilter, the music gradually envelops the listener in its severe, otherworldly majesty. Composers normally treated the passion texts with reverent detachment, but Gesualdo's settings are full of emotion. Whether this is because his mental illnesses had advanced so far that he was completely self-identifying with Christ, or simply that he felt an artistic compulsion to set these liturgically central texts as no one else had, the results are deeply impressive. The word "terrifying" is found in many descriptions of the Tenebrae. Considering that the music is made with human voices only, the terrible power achieved in these pieces is an extraordinary accomplishment.© All Music Guide

On View through May 29, 2011 M.C. Escher: Impossible Realities continues to enjoy blockbuster status! The museum has welcomed over 16,000 people to the exhibition since it opened last month.
Impossible Realities surveys the breadth of Escher's career from the 1920s to the 1960s, showcasing 130 of the his finest works. The show begins with his early book plates, then moves on to landscapes, tessellations and impossible worlds, concluding with his very last print, Snakes (1969).
On View through June 11, 2011 Cleveland artist Sarah Kabot creates installations that toy with human perception. "[My work] encourages the viewer to question his or her own perceptions," says Kabot. "The meaning, significance and even location of objects are not fixed. Potentially, everything could be different."
To achieve what she refers to as an "intervention," Kabot used foamcore to replicate the lights, floorboards and wall surfaces of the Isroff Gallery. "By design, the objects I choose to recreate are intended to go unnoticed," says Kabot. "Through re-creation, I draw viewers' attention to the size and contour of the object and to details like buttons and screws. The things I create become almost like caricatures of the manufactured object—exaggerations or simplifications occur inadvertently, and they create a provocative relationship between the original and the reproduction.
On View through July 10, 2011 Often credited with creating the visual archetype of the jazz musician, Herman Leonard photographed his subjects during performances, rehearsals, recording sessions and backstage gatherings to create a visual diary of post-war jazz. All Star Jazz presents some of Leonard's finest photographs and offers an intimate view of countless jazz legends and the nocturnal world in which they thrived.
Leonard's aim was always to preserve the image and lives of the musicians he so admired. Capturing the essence of jazz music and culture, his photographs offer generations to come a unique opportunity to explore this now historic world. When asked to reflect on his photographs, Leonard stated, "It is amazing how an image can revive the feeling of the moment. The thrill of actually being there has never left me."

June 18, 2011 - October 2, 2011 For internationally renowned quiltmaker Paula Nadelstern, the word kaleidoscope "promises surprise and magic, change and chance." Nadelstern (born 1951) has spent over two decades capturing in cloth the excitement of the ever-changing relationships of color, pattern, light and texture of kaleidoscope images.
Nadelstern's dazzling quilts employ crystalline patterns composed of painstakingly assembled slivers of jewel-like fabrics. Her creations encompass science, history and artistic tradition. This exhibition places the artist's quilts within a historical context for the first time, exploring the kaleidoscope's impact on the decorative arts, including quilts, and the intimate relationship between Nadelstern's quilts and the art of the contemporary kaleidoscope.
Saturday, June 18, 201l, 11 am - 5pm Instructor Paula Nadelstern has distilled 20 years of complex quiltmaking into simple theories that explain her distinctive patchwork sensibility and define her way of thinking about fabric. This class is aimed at the quilter who wants to embrace the potential offered by a wide range of fabric choices rather than be overwhelmed by it. It will leave you seeing the possibilities of fabric design in a whole new way.
Supply list will be provided upon registration. Students may also choose to order a box lunch from Hattie's Café. Tickets are $50 for members, $60 for non-members. Visit the museum's website to register at www.AkronArtMuseum.org. Registration opens April 1. Call 330.376.9186 x230 for more information.
Sarah Kabot
Tuesday, April 7, 2011, 6:30 pm Cleveland artist Sarah Kabot will discuss her "interventions" that toy with human perception by altering the physical environment, specifically the seemingly mundane structures of the built environment. Free. First come, first serve seating in the Lehner Auditorium.
Paula Nadelstern - Symmetry & Surprise
Sunday, June 19, 2011, 2 pm Like snowflakes or fireworks, a kaleidoscope offers infinite design possibilities, promising magic, surprise and chance. Nadelstern will discuss the history and technique of her internationally renowned quilting style and the Kaleidoscope Quilts exhibition.
Tickets are $10 for members, $15 non-members. Beginning April 1, visit the museum's website to register at www.AkronArtMuseum.org or contact 330.376.9186 x230 for more information.

"Such a beautiful photograph," she marvels
As she sits down where I used to lie.
You look at the picture as she asks you who I am.
For what seems like an eternity in your mind
You plead with God to help you mask the clouds
That are now thundering about in your head.
"Just an old friend," you reply coolly,
After an uncomfortable second.
You offer her coffee and ask if she'd prefer tea
"Coffee is great," she chimes.
"Make yourself comfortable," you insist.
You enter the kitchen, scramble for the cups,
And twist open the can.
"How could I have left that lying around?" you ask yourself,
As you then realize that you've missed the cup
And spilled all around.
You frantically wipe the counter clean as if you were
Clearing the slate of your own conscience.
"I must have missed it while I was packing."
You stir the mugs for the final time
Once for luck, and another just for the hell of it.
Excitedly you exclaim, "Here we go! One for you and one for me."
You prop down next to her, shifting your body to a position of comfort.
Just when you were ready to let the evening simmer down
She attempts to take a sip from the cup then looks up at you timidly
Braving a confused smile.
You ask in concern, "Something wrong?"
She replies, "Oh, no, everything is all right.
Ran out of coffee tonight, huh?"
You look at her confused, wondering what she meant.
She hands the mug back to you and, embarrassed,
You generously give her yours.
Apologizing swiftly, you excuse yourself to the kitchen once again.
Looking down at the cup of coffee, you realize, wasn't coffee after all.
It was tea—
Perfectly prepared with two cubes of sugar—
Just the way you knew I liked it.

NEW YORK (AP) — Marriott says it turned a bigger-than-expected profit in the third quarter on higher prices and strong occupancy rates.
The company, based in Bethesda, Md., earned $143 million, or 44 cents per share, compared with a loss of $179 million, or 52 cents per share, a year ago. The 2011 quarter was hit by charges related to the spin-off of its time share business. Without those, it earned $104 million or 29 cents per share last year.
Revenue in the recent quarter fell 5 percent, to $2.73 billion. The results topped Wall Street's expectations for earnings of 40 cents per share and revenue of $2.65 billion.
Revenue per available room — an indicator of rates — rose 7 percent in the quarter.
Marriott shares rose 1 percent in after-hours trading.

Is google can index the javascript

No comments
As we know google indexes a page that we can see, if Google can index the contents of which exist in javascript. I might be a bit behind the curve on this but an associate recently pointed me to this Google video I somehow missed where MCs talks about how the Google spider is now following and indexing JavaScript links. He even seems to point out, like standard links, if you don't want the search engines to follow, index, and "flow pagerank†through these links it is possible to nofollow a JavaScript link.

How To Achieve A Beautiful Yard Even With Watering Restrictions
As we enter the spring and summer months, that means lots of people are turning their attention to their gardens. The deep freeze is (for most) thawing and revealing all the projects and cleanup that needs doing.

In fact, the situation is so serious that many municipalities are already planning on watering restrictions. So how can you still enjoy … Read More
Summer's Winding Down, But it's Time to Prepare for Next Year
Now's the perfect time to plant bulbs for next year. Tulips (in all their varieties), Hyacinth, Daffodils and Iris' are all popular species to plant this fall. And in much of the country we're just entering the window for perfect planting.
Expert opinion varies, but most suggest you try to plant your bulbs anywhere from 2-6 weeks before the first frost. Look for evening temperatures of high 40's to high 50's.
Planting bulbs can be a fun family activity. It allows for creativity and surprise. Most bulbs can be purchased by color, … Read More
How to Deal with Water Shortages!
"Water Shortages Conserve Water!" is not a phrase I wanted to hear as this Summer season began. Sure, I enjoy conserving water just as much as the next person, but it has been really depressing watching my once lush, green lawn begin to yellow and die under the rays of triple digit heat.
Due to low water yielding winter and spring seasons, many residents in northern Davis County, Utah are under mandatory and voluntary water restrictions. As Spring transitioned to Summer, these signs began to populate the local landscape. Residents are … Read More
Windowsill Herb Garden is Easy and Fun
For smart irrigation month we decided to put together a small planter to grow herbs (they're the legal kind, don't worry). Herbs are a great plant to grow. We're growing ours outdoors, but they also do well indoors. They smell good, grow fast, and are great for cooking.
To speed up watering, we decided to install some soaker hosing. Ours hooks to a hose and is expandable, but these could easily be linked to an existing sprinkler system and other drip lines.
Here are the supplies we'll use.

Tips for a Green Yard this Spring
When someone mentions green this time of year, you may think of St. Patrick's Day, leprechauns, four-leaf clover, or the green hills of Ireland. But this tradition goes beyond St. Patrick and his holiday.
The Irish Tradition of Green
Long before green became associated with St. Patrick's Day, the ancient Celts wore green in celebration of the Vernal Equinox and the rebirth of the earth. And who could blame them? Known as the Emerald Island, Ireland's principal color is green. Some even claim that the island boasts over 40 shades of that … Read More
Midsummer Watering Tips
My Midsummer Night's Dream
With the very top of summer sliding past,
I often wonder, what's up with my grass?
It's brown, it crackles,
It raises my hackles,
And I despair
That it is beyond repair.
It would be a midsummer night's dream,
For my grass to appear a lush green,
Just in time for my soiree
Where we will play a lively round of croquet.
So dearest Titania, send me a fairy
"Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire. . . .
Swifter than the moon's sphere . . .
To dew [my herbs] upon the green"
And thus … Read More
