Jim Cramer's Best Blogs
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Jim Cramer fills his blog on RealMoney every day with his up-to-the-minute reactions to what's happening in the market and his legendary ahead-of-the-crowd ideas. This week he blogged on:
- the re-emergence of old-school conviction in the stock market; and
- how the Warnaco acquisition hurt PVH's earnings.
Click here for information on RealMoney, where you can see all the blogs, including Jim Cramer's -- and reader comments -- in real time.
Old-School Conviction Is Coming Back
Posted at 7:35 p.m. EDT on Thursday, March 28 You have to marvel at what just transpired this quarter. This was the single most triumphant quarter for so many different kinds of stocks that I can recall since the 1990s. And yet when I read and listen, it is the same old, same old -- cautious bulls worried about Europe, worried about China, worried about sequestration, worried about earnings, worried about Washington. You can truly say that the last 13 years really did a number on us. In fact, the only time I can recall hearing someone say, "Look, I like these stocks and they must be bought" was today on "Halftime Report," when Laszlo Birinyi just told it like it is and rattled off Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Priceline.com (PCLN), Amazon.com (AMZN), Sears Holdings (SHLD) and a couple of others and said these are going higher. What happened to people like Birinyi? What happened to people with conviction? How did everyone decide that what matters is Slovenia or the chart or Washington or any host of things other than the company?Tonight I had the good fortune to interview Fred Hassan, who just penned Reinvent, a book that was spawned by the hard lessons of the man who had turned around more businesses successfully than anyone alive. We talked about the importance of leadership, of culture, of the CEO and how much the CEO can mean to the stock price. Between Hassan and Birinyi, I felt totally old school. Otherwise it's all about risk-on, record-high territory, BlackBerry (BBRY) and Apple (AAPL). Let this quarter be a lesson. The times, they have a changed. Old school is coming back. Stocks matter. CEOs matter. Slovenia? It only matters as to how to get a better price for Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY). Action Alerts PLUS, which Cramer co-manages as a charitable trust, is long AAPL, JNJ and BMY.

Say the word "hoochie" and everyone pretty much knows what you mean: A person, usually a woman, with "loose" morals. In the old days, hoochies were known as sluts and every social circle always had one. Leora Tanenbaum knows the infamy of being called a slut. Labeled one in high school, she went on to write an article about sluts for Seventeen magazine. That led to her writing the book SLUT! Growing up Female with a Bad Reputation, for which she interviewed women ranging from adolescent to senior-citizen age, many of whom boast of attaining high achievements. (No, they didn't sleep their way to the top!) Tanenbaum, a freelance writer for the Nation, Ms., and Newsday, reads from and discusses her book tonight at 8:00 at Books & Books, 296 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables. Admission is free. Call 305-442-4408. (NK)

Hello Guys, I d like to share my newest work I ve been working on as an promotion piece for my CG studio - Thunder Cloud Studio.
The main inspiration for this piece is Emerald color and jewelry. I want to portray the elegant, upper class beauty of a woman yet still convey the feeling of relaxing, harmony and peace of mind.

New blocks, new books, and summer
19 comments:
- Sinta Renee said...
Thank you!!! Lucky me! I love how those fabrics and how the block looks. I am so excited to be putting them all together soon. I am totally addicted to both the Dresden and the Wedge rulers... so many fun things. Obviously your photo was my inspiration for this project. I am so glad to see that Amy McC. has published a book... looks like fun! Of course, it's a circus!!!

Ooo, the neutral quilts look like they'd be great "man quilts." I adore the one on the left of the double picture (if that makes sense.)

I love the blocks - they remind me of one of those wall of death things only with push bikes rather than motor bikes going round and round.

LOVE the finer, less chunking, look of your wedge quilts.
I looked on Under the Garden Moon site for their wedge ruler you have pictured but I could not find it. Do you have a source for this ruler? - June 3, 2013 at 2:34 PM

It's beautiful. I love dresden style quilts and I love making baby quilts so I'm going to have to check for this book.

I love that Dresden block. Someday I would love to play with it more.
And, I hope you can enjoy your summer with kids home. I know it's stressful to keep them entertained, but it's also nice to not worry about homework and packed schedules. At least your weather is much better than ours! My daughter is trying to think of ways to keep everyone happy INDOORS :) - June 3, 2013 at 8:18 PM

Those wedge quilts are great. I feel your pain about middle school - we were in that boat last yeat but it ended up going really good.
- June 3, 2013 at 8:26 PM
- Stephanie said...
I love those blocks! A lot of the blogs I read do traditional Dresden blocks and it was a real treat to a unique block! I love that you used a bicycle pattern in-between the sections. Almost like a bicycle wheel it's spokes! Can't wait to see the rest of the pattern!

Yes! If you call American Quilting in Utah (801)802-7841 they have them in stock.

That is good perspective for me to keep in mind. It's sending kids outside that is my greatest sanity saver. I sound like I'm complaining - there is much that I love about summer! But finding the balance between structure and freedom is always a tricky one for me.

Amazing wedge quilts, I love them! Doesn't highschool sound scary? Well, all the best with it!

Good so far, and the JAVA bindings don't get created as configure doesn't know to look in $JAVA_HOME. Now I'm not sure that the JAVA_LIBS or JAVA_INCLUDES vars even need to be set. I can compile just fine with them being empty. Best I can tell they serve no purpose. I simply run the following sed before building the package IAW the BLFS book and it seems to be fine. Unless there is some objection (then please reopen this ticket), I am going to update the Graphviz instructions to include the following sed command: {{ sed -i 's|JAVA_LIBS=|& \ if test -n "$JAVA_HOME"; then \ CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I$JAVA_HOME/include -I$JAVA_HOME/include/linux" \ fi|' configure }} This simple sed adds enough to the configure script so that it can find and utilize the JDK and build the JAVA bindings. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2182> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Donor meets $25,000 Families First challenge
Sunday, April 6, 2014
PORTSMOUTH — When Martha Cunningham, development director at Families First Health & Support Center, Portsmouth, answered a recent phone call, she never imagined it would be a donation offer of $25,000 from a Seacoast resident.
But nobody anticipated the matching donation to come from one generous woman who read about the Habigs' gift in the newspaper and decided to step forward to match it with a large check.
Cunningham said funding concerns have never been greater for the organization than in the last several years.
To make services available regardless of ability to pay, uninsured patients are offered a sliding fee scale for primary, prenatal and dental care. Homeless patients using the organization's mobile health care program, pay no fees. All one-to-one family support programs and most parent-education and family group programs are offered at no cost. |

4. Dreams and Wakings
Everyone else slept in the bigger room. He thought about the woman sleeping among the men tonight. No one would disturb her, or threaten her honour. This was the Shire and they were hobbits.
Suddenly he heard her voice:
'Ai! Laiqualassë meldanya!'*
He abandoned his post and went to check she was all right. She seemed to be still asleep, but restless, speaking in her dreams, repeating words of an elven tongue. Many others had also woken, and stood staring at the sleeping maiden.
Someone had lighted a candle.
'Hey, Samkin! You should be guardin'!'
'Go and guard yourself if you want to!'
'Meldanya? Mana rávë?**... Oh, it was a dream... did I shout?' She was awake.
'One could say so.'
'Was it a nightmare?'
'Well, sort of. I'm fine and not scared, if that's what worries you. Go to bed and kill that -sercëa- candle!' ***
Later, when Samkin had returned to the watch-window, he heard soft footsteps approach. It was Niphredil, with a blanket on her shoulders.
'I can't get to sleep again. I try to catch the dream and it escapes.'
Samkin rose to offer her a chair.
'Thanks. By the way, did I shout words?'
'Oh, dear.'
In the dim light he could not be sure, but Niphredil seemed to blush.
'Don't worry. Nobody understood it. You spoke elvish.'
'I did? Can you remember what did it sound like?'
'You spoke something like a name many times - Meldania?'
'It is no name. Anything else?'
'Something... lai-kwa-lasse, perhaps. What does it mean?'
'I'm sorry, I can't tell. It is about a lost love. I can say that meldanya means...'
She stood up and stepped closer to him;
'...my beloved.' She kissed him, suddenly, on the mouth.
'We have only just met!' Samkin protested.
'And soon we will part, no doubt. Tonight, let us enjoy our youth!'
'It's the beer talking in you. You will regret this.'
'Am I not good enough for you?'
'You are too good.'
'I'm not a virgin, if that worries you.'
'...I should be keeping watch...'
Niphredil spread the blanket on the floor. Then she grabbed Samkin's arm and pulled him up from the chair. She began to open his breeches, but his hand stopped her and he undid the laces himself. Niphredil was also wearing breeches, and soon stepped out of them. Strangely, she kept her shirt on.
On the floor they shared passion without love, without even friendship. Samkin had never imagined his first time would be both so intense and violent, and so cold and emotionless. Niphredil certainly was no virgin, she knew how to make a man burn for her and to please her. She came with a gasp, and whispered once more: 'Meldanya.' As Samkin came inside her, he realised it was not him she meant.
Yet they kissed, after it, and exchanged sweet meaningless words. But each other's eyes they could no longer meet.
In the morning, Samkin was sulking, and Niphredil had a headache. She left towards Brandy Hall chewing a bit of athelas and humming to the tune of 'Man in the Moon stayed up too late'.
*'Ai! Laiqualassë meldanya!' = 'Oh! Greenleaf my beloved!'... ;-) (could not resist translating his name to Quenya...)
**'Meldanya? Mana rávë?' = 'My beloved? What is this noise?'
*** still playing with Quenya: sercëa = bloody...

Thursday, April 3, 2014
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Dr. Jane Wood, Westminster College vice president for academic affairs and dean of the College, is one of 18 senior academic administrators in higher education nationwide selected by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) to participate in the 2014 Colloquium on Leadership for Chief Academic Officers (CAO).
Supported by the Henry Luce Foundation, the leadership development seminar is designed to foster the perspectives and skills that can lead CAOs to succeed in unpredictable times. Individuals chosen for the program are chief academic officers in higher education who wish to prepare for changes and challenges in the decades ahead, understand complex and unprecedented situations, and further develop strategic wisdom.
As a participant, Wood will attend a seminar July 28-Aug. 1 in Annapolis, Md. John Churchill, secretary of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, will lead the Colloquium, which will engage participants in cases drawn from classical and contemporary readings-ranging from Sophocles to Eudora Welty-and compare them with situations that today's chief academic officers face. Examination, discussion, and reflection will help participants reflect on power, ethics, and responsibility and strengthen their leadership skills.
"The review committee found the nomination materials for the program to be most impressive," said Richard Ekman, president of the CIC. "They (and I) believe that Wood has the potential for highly effective leadership in a position of senior academic responsibility on campus."
Wood earned her master's degree and a doctorate in English from the University of Kansas. Wood received her bachelor's degree in English from the University of Missouri-Columbia and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Prior to arriving at Westminster in 2013 she served as the dean for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Park University in Parkville, Mo.
The CIC is an association of 744 nonprofit independent colleges and universities and higher education affiliates and organizations that has worked since 1956 to support college and university leadership, advance institutional excellence, and enhance public understanding of private higher education's contributions to society.
CIC is the major national organization that focuses on providing services to leaders of independent colleges and universities as well as conferences, seminars, and other programs that help institutions to improve educational quality, administrative and financial performance, and institutional visibility. CIC also provides support to state fundraising associations that organize programs and generate contributions for private colleges and universities. The Council is headquartered at One Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C.
Additional institutions participating in the Colloquium on Leadership include: Central Methodist University, Mo.; Capital University, Ohio; Bryn Athyn College, Pa; North Carolina Wesleyan College, Samford University, Ala.; Becker College, Mass.; Delaware Valley College, Pa.; Augsburg College, Minn.; Mount Marty College, S.D.; Pacific Oaks College, Calif.; Carroll College, Mont.; Hope College, Mich.;Whitworth University, Wash.; Grand View University, Iowa; Hartwick College N.Y.; Chaminade University of Honolulu, Hawaii; and Washington and Lee University, Va.

Fantastic to keep fungus and yeast at ba
This vitamin was prescribed to me by my doctor because I was having constant yeast infections. It was terrible.. after three full bottles I no longer struggle with this issue. I take 1-2 tablets weekly now in order to maintain my health! Its fantastic!
Gets rid of fungus yeast etc. Smells nice like oregano.
Tastes not so very good. If you do not take it quick enough it can begin to break down in your mouth which is not very pleasant.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

The objective was to analyze the relationship between occupation (and specific occupational exposures) and risk of exocrine pancreatic cancer (EPC). We conducted a multicenter hospital-based case–control study in Eastern Spain. We included 161 incident cases of EPC (59.6% men, 94 with histological confirmation, of whom 80% had ductal adenocarcinoma). Cases were frequency-matched with 455 controls by sex, age and province of residence. Information was elicited using structured questionnaires. Occupations were coded according to the Spanish version of the International Standard Classification of Occupations 1988. Occupational exposure to a selection of carcinogenic substances was assessed with the Finnish Job-Exposure Matrix (FINJEM). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated by multiple logistic regression, adjusting for sex, age, province, education, alcohol and smoking. A higher risk of EPC was associated with having worked as 'Miners, shotfirers, stone cutters and carvers', 'Machinery mechanics and fitters', 'Building trades workers' and 'Motor vehicle drivers' in men, 'Office Clerks' in women, and 'Waiters' in both sexes. Cases with ductal adenocarcinomas were more likely to have been exposed to chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents (OR = 4.1, 95% CI: 1.1–15.2, p-trend = 0.04). We also observed significant associations with exposure to 'synthetic polymer dust exposure' and 'ionizing radiation'. Suggestive increases in risk were observed for 'pesticides', 'diesel and gasoline engine exhaust', and 'hydrocarbon solvents'. Results support the hypothesis that occupational exposure to chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents is associated with exocrine pancreatic cancer.

iKnow - English Learning Community Website
At JALT2007 this weekend I came across a new website called iKnow: a free English learning application with social networking features, designed exclusively for Japanese learners.  Once logged in, learners can use a variety of applications designed to build their English skills, including vocab and phrase lessons, dictation,  podcasts, games, etc.  iKnow keeps track of individual learner progress and will create customized lessons each time the application is launched.
Here's the good part: teachers can create groups of their students and track student progress throughout the semester, allowing iKnow to become an integral part of the curriculum.
And here's the best part: iKnow is accessible via mobile phones, so users can study on the go, and teachers don't need to have access to a computer lab, meaning that iKnow can be incorporated into the activities of a normal face-to-face classroom.
According to its creators, iKnow has gained about 10,000 registered members since its September 2007 launch.  If you teach in Japan, this is definitely an application you want to check out.

A Palestine support group has claimed they are responsible for the cancellation of an Israeli concert tour by traditional Irish band Dervish.
The Donegal based group has confirmed to the Irish Times newspaper that it is withdrawing from a three gig visit to Israel.
Band leader Cathy Jordan told the paper that they have pulled out of the concert tour due to an: "An avalanche of negativity and venom directed towards us on social media websites."
She said: "We are not politically minded and were only due to go on the three-date tour at the invitation of an Israeli friend and musician called Avshalom."
Writing on Facebook, Jordan added: "In hindsight, it was very naive of me to think our motives would not be misunderstood and misrepresented."
Jordan said on the band website: "Although I was aware of the concerns with our proposed visit to Israel, I wasn't quite prepared for the extent of the venom directed at us.
"I deeply regret any upset caused by all of this. It was far from our intention to stir up all this anger and hatred, when the opposite was what was intended."
"I will continue to attempt to make the world a better place through music. I live in hope that one day love will conquer all."
The band added: "We have opted out of the tour because we were unaware there was a cultural boycott in place when we agreed to the performances."
The paper reports that, in fact, there is no official boycott of Israel and says Irish artists are free to play in the country if they wish.
Some Irish acts however – including Donal Lunny and Damien Dempsey - have refused to play in Israel in protest at the treatment of the Palestinian people.
The Israeli embassy in Dublin has described the boycott called for as 'cultural terror and a 'particular shame as culture is supposed to unite people'.
Meanwhile members of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign have claimed that they were the ones responsible for forcing the band to call off the tour.
National co-ordinator Kevin Squires told the Irish Times that the organisation had made the band aware of the cultural boycott and had directed its supporters to target its website, although he denied there was any venom directed towards it.

FBI searches real estate, financial business
Associated Press
February 28, 2013 10:27 AM
BRIGHTON — The FBI has searched offices of a real estate and financial services business in Brighton and Livonia.
The Livingston County Daily Press & Argus of Howell and WHMI-FM report the offices of Elias Realty were searched on Wednesday.
The FBI hasn't said what it was looking for.
Elias Realty said in a statement that the business may have drawn scrutiny from lenders and mortgage buyer Freddie Mac because of its success and volume of short sale business.
The business says it is currently reviewing details of the investigation and plans to cooperate fully with federal investigators.

Thanks for all these pictures first of all. It looks like the girls are having some fun and bonding well. That's good. I hope they are playing some tennis as well.
I must admit when I saw Switzerland in the same group as Romania I wasn't as confident of Romania winning as you are. But having just taken a look at the lineup for the Swiss team, it actually does indeed look quite promising for Romania. Switzerland seem to be without both Bacsinszky and Voegele. That's about as hard a loss for the Swiss as Romania's loss of Sorana and Monica. But unlike Romania, Switzerland have pretty much no depth to compansate. Worth noting that despite the loss of probably their two most important players, Romania is still the only country to field a team made up entirely of players ranked 250 or better. That really does say a great deal about the depth of Romanian tennis at the moment. In contrast Switzerland is basically Patty Schnyder and NO ONE else. Okay their number 2 is ranked 374 but I think Raluca should take care of her very easily. And Patty is coming off surgery so who knows what sort of shape she will be in.
The other two teams don't look terribly tough on paper either although as the host country I'm sure Portugal will be very fired up. Still Romania definately look to have a better chance than I thought they would when I first heard the bad news about Sorana and Monica. Fingers tightly crossed.

So let me get this straight.Submitted by Jonathan Reed (not verified) on Wed, 05/09/2012 - 5:54pm.
The part where the bible says, in Leviticus, that its despicable for gays to be gay IS written by God, but the OTHER laws in Leviticus are written by jewish men and can therefor be ignored. So how do you know the difference. More to the point, doesn't that mean we can ignore the 10 commandments, since they were written by Moses and all and he's not only a man but a jewish man? »

The BNP (British National Party) as featured on the UK BBC Question Time last night, use Alexa traffic rank badges on their site as a metric for success against all the other political parties – basically proclaiming that their website is more visited than all the other political parties in the UK – I wish my clients were happy using alexa traffic rank data as a metric and I hope the BNP get their other statistics from more reliable sources :P
Alexa Traffic rate is well screwed and innacurate. The MORE POPULAR YOUR SITE IS ON SOCIAL NETWORKS, in my experience, hurts your alexa ranking. Yes, I know. It's as if Alexa penalise successful social media savvy sites, while rewards sites with traffic Alexa obviously values more – ie search engine visitors.
How do you increase your alexa ranking? By getting more search traffic and staying away from sites like Stumbleupon, Digg and other social network sites, who are frankly easier to manipulate than, for instance, Google. And that's leaving out the pointless Alexa Toolbar and the fact if you write for a more tech savvy audience, you may very well have a higher Alexa rating..
On a side note, the Hobo site is tanking the BNP in Alexa rank - maybe we should start a political party :)
Of course, they'll undoubtedly generate a lot of traffic – controversy always does – but I don't know of any (respected) professional search marketer that uses Alexa Rank as a measurement of ranking success above others (although I am open to debate on the subject).
Why the BNP is using it, I'll leave up to you :)

LPN with Bachelors degree Health care Admin/Mgt
0 Hello,
I have been an LPN for 17 years and i will complete my Bachelors degree Health care Administration in March 2013. I want to know if there are any other LPN's out there who have taken this route or a similar route and what was your experience.
I have worked on the RN route for many years without any success so i decided maybe that is not for me and decided to move on. I may give it a try again later in life.

It looks like some women taking oral contraception may want to rethink the risks. A new study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine shows that women taking oral hormonal contraceptives are at the highest risk of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) compared to women taking other kinds of contraceptives.
FSD has yet to be completely explored or even explained by researchers and medical professionals. Though we have spent years investigating and finding cures for male sexual dysfunction, we have a long way to go for females. According to the researcher Dr. Lisa-Maria Wallwieiner of the University of Heidelberg in Germany, "FSD is a very common disorder...the most common complaint appearing to be low desire." FSD can appear in other forms as well including vaginal dryness, lack of arousal, etc.
Though we have often associated FSD with external factors such as stress, relationships, and internal hormonal levels, this new study suggests that taking hormonal birth control may be another factor.
Over a thousand women were included in the study - the majority had used contraceptives in the last six months and had been sexually active within the last four weeks. Just over 32 percent of participants were at risk for FSD - almost six percent for hypoactive sexual desire disorder, 8.7 percent for orgasm disorder and 2.6 percent for satisfaction problems.
Factors such as age, prior pregnancy, and relationship status were not factors in evaluating risks.
As Editor-in-Chief of the Journal points out, it's ironic that a drug used to provide freedom for women to have sex without risks is the very thing that is keeping them from necessarily enjoying a satisfying sex life.
It raises the question, "Do we stop taking the pill?" Well, I'm not the person to ask that question. First, assess your sexual health and your overall health. Think about how these factors may have changed when you started taking hormonal oral contraceptives. And then go see your doctor.
Please note that this is an observational study and it only invloved one group of women. This study does not state that the pill causes low desire .
I do not mean to be critical of your report but it would be helpful to your readers read the WedMD summary on this journal article. The Editor of the Journal is making a rather sweeping statement when he states that " it's ironic that a drug used to provide freedom for women to have sex without risks is the very thing that is keeping them from necessarily enjoying a satisfying sex life. "
No one has ever said that the pill was without risk. It does have risks like all medications. The question is rather does it cause low desire and this study does not answer that question and the authors of the study even stated women should continue to take the pill and not base stopping the pill on this study.

I tried almost every headphones before I ordered this one. I'm fully satisfied with it. This headphone has the best sound I've ever heard.
The only little problem with it is the wireless adapter stopped working properly, and i can not use it for my iphone, because it has contact failure, but if i dont move it, it works well, so i still can use it with my TV.

Miami-Dade's BIKE305 Initiative Aims to Add Hundreds of Miles of New Bike Paths
It's no secret that Miami's not the most bike-friendly metropolis. But hell, at least we're trying. In addition to the many bike collectives and advocacy groups popping up around town, the city itself has now jumped on the green transit bandwagon.
Last week, Miami-Dade County rolled out the BIKE305 initiative, a program designed to raise awareness about the city's bike paths and get people to hit the trails on two wheels.

The project is summed up through its website, which features an interactive map of the city's Rickenbacker, Commodore, Old Cutler, and Biscayne bike trails. Visitors can scan the trails, check out Google street view, and learn more about the various stops along the way.
Last week, as part of the mission, Commissioner Rebeca Sosa proclaimed March Bike305 month in Miami-Dade.
The overall concept is in keeping with the county's parks and rec master plan. Basically, they're looking to create a "seamless, sustainable system of great parks, public spaces, natural areas, cultural areas, greenways, water trails, and streets throughout the county." Eventually, planners envision over 500 miles of greenways and trails for the county. Currently, there are 130, with another 30 in development.
According to Kevin M. Kirwin, Assistant Director for Operations for the city's Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS), the mayor is deeply committed to the Open Spaces endeavor. And he's not alone. Mayors from other participating cities and other partners in the BIKE305 endeavor have been gung ho as well.
"Everyone's been like, this is a good thing, let's do it," he says.

Multipartism as a basic feature of the party systems of European democracies is an undeniable fact, but there is serious disagreement among scholars about the implications of multipartism for political stability. Although none of the West European polities could be described as a strict two-party system, there is at the same time considerable variation within the set of multiparty systems. What are the implications of multipartism for political stability? According to one often repeated argument, the variation in multipartism is accompanied by a variation in political stability as multipartism is considered a major cause of political instability. The opposite argument is to deny that multipartism is conducive to political stability.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
An earworm, sometimes known as a brainworm,[1] is a catchy piece of music that continually repeats through a person's mind after it is no longer playing.[2] Phrases used to describe an earworm include musical imagery repetition, involuntary musical imagery, and stuck song syndrome.[1][3][4] The word earworm is a calque from the German Ohrwurm[5] and was, according to Oliver Sacks, first used in the 1980s.[1]
Researchers who have studied and written about the phenomenon include Theodor Reik,[6] Sean Bennett,[7] Oliver Sacks,[1] Daniel Levitin,[8] James Kellaris,[9] Philip Beaman,[10] Vicky Williamson,[11] and, in a more theoretical perspective, Peter Szendy.[12] The phenomenon is common and should not be confused with palinacousis, a rare medical condition caused by damage to the temporal lobe of the brain that results in auditory hallucinations.[13]
According to research by James Kellaris, 98% of individuals experience earworms. Women and men experience the phenomenon equally often, but earworms tend to last longer for women and irritate them more.[14] Kellaris produced statistics suggesting that songs with lyrics may account for 73.7% of earworms, whereas instrumental music may cause only 7.7%.[15]
In a 2006 book by Daniel Levitin entitled This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession, he states that research has shown musicians and people with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) are more likely to suffer from earworm attacks. An attack usually involves a small portion of a song, a hook, equal to or less than the capacity of one's auditory short-term memory. Levitin reports that capacity as usually 15 to 30 seconds. Simple tunes are more likely to get stuck than complex pieces of music. He also mentions that in some situations, OCD medications have been known to minimize the effects.[8] In 2010, published data in the British Journal of Psychology directly addressed the subject, and its results support earlier claims that earworms are usually 15 to 30 seconds in length.[10]
Scientists at Western Washington University found that engaging the working memory in moderately difficult tasks (such as anagrams, Sudoku puzzles, or reading a novel) was an effective way of stopping earworms and of reducing their recurrence.[16][17] Another publication points out that melodic music has a tendency to demonstrate repeating rhythm which may lead to endless repetition, unless a climax can be achieved to break the cycle.[18]
Jean Harris, who murdered Herman Tarnower, was obsessed by the song "Put the Blame on Mame", which she first heard in the film Gilda. She would recall this regularly for over 33 years and could hold a conversation while playing it in her mind.[19]
Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Imp of the Perverse" (1845) has the following:
It is quite a common thing to be thus annoyed with the ringing in our ears, or rather in our memories, of the burthen of some ordinary song, or some unimpressive snatches from an opera. Nor will we be the less tormented if the song in itself be good, or the opera air meritorious.
Mark Twain's 1876 story "A Literary Nightmare" (also known as "Punch, Brothers, Punch") is about a jingle that one can get rid of only by transferring it to another person.
In Robert Graves' memoir Good-Bye to All That (1929) he recorded that as he marched to battle in September 1915, "The men were singing...comic songs... Slippery Sam, When we'eve Wound up the Watch on the Rhine, and I do like a S'nice S'mince Pie. The tune of S'nice S'mince Pie ran in my head all week and I could not get rid of it." During the battle he wrote, "We waited on the fire step...for the order to go over. My mind was a blank, except for the recurrence of S'nice S'mince Pie, S'nice S'mince S'pie. The men laughed at my singing. The acting C.S.M. said: "It's murder, sir." "Of course it's murder, you bloody fool," I agreed. "But there's nothing else for it is there?""
In Henry Kuttner's short story "Nothing but Gingerbread Left" (1943), Kuttner imagines a secret allied effort against Nazi Germany using a catchy rhyme to break the opposition's concentration.[20] English speakers were safe from the earworm, as the text did not scan in English.
In Alfred Bester's 1953 novel The Demolished Man, the protagonist uses a jingle specifically crafted to be a catchy, irritating nuisance as a tool to block mind readers from reading his mind.
In Arthur C. Clarke's 1957 science fiction short story "The Ultimate Melody", a scientist, Gilbert Lister, develops the ultimate melody – one that so compels the brain that its listener becomes completely and forever enraptured by it. As the storyteller, Harry Purvis, explains, Lister theorized that a great melody "made its impression on the mind because it fitted in with the fundamental electrical rhythms going on in the brain." Lister attempts to abstract from the hit tunes of the day to a melody that fits in so well with the electrical rhythms that it dominates them completely. He succeeds and is found in a catatonic state from which he never awakens.[21]
In Fritz Leiber's Hugo Award-nominated short story "Rump-Titty-Titty-Tum-TAH-Tee" (1959), the title describes a rhythmic drumbeat so powerful that it rapidly spreads to all areas of human culture, until a counter-rhythm is developed that acts as an antidote.[22]
In Joe Simpson's 1988 book Touching the Void, he talks about not being able to get the tune "Brown Girl in the Ring" by Boney M out of his head. The book tells of his survival, against the odds, after a mountaineering accident in the remote Siula Grande region of South America. Alone, badly injured, and in a semi-delirious state, he is confused as to whether he is imagining the music or really hearing it.[23]
In the Seinfeld episode "The Jacket" (season 2, episode 3), George Costanza (Jason Alexander) walks around singing "Master of the House" from the musical Les Misérables, telling his friend, Jerry Seinfeld, that he cannot get the song out of his head. Later, Costanza accidentally sings the song in front of their friend Elaine's hard-nosed father, Alton Benes (Lawrence Tierney), prompting Benes to quip, "Pipe down, chorus boy." At the end of the program, Benes is shown singing the song while driving home alone, having apparently "caught" the earworm from Costanza.[24][25]
In episode 20 of season 7 of SpongeBob SquarePants, entitled "Ear Worm" (2010), SpongeBob gets a song stuck in his head called "Musical Doodle".[26] The episode refers to the earworm as a physical creature that enters one's head upon listening to a catchy song.
In Dexter's Laboratory, Season 4 Episode 13 entitled "Head Band", a contagious group of viruses force their host to sing what they are saying to the same "boy band" tune. The only way to be cured of the Boy Band Virus is for the viruses to break up and start their own solo careers.[27]
E.B. White's 1933 satirical short story "The Supremacy of Uruguay" (reprinted in Timeless Stories for Today and Tomorrow) relates a fictional episode in the history of Uruguay where a powerful earworm is discovered in a popular American song: "thanks for unforgettable nights I never can replace." The Uruguayan military builds a squadron of pilotless aircraft armed with phonographs playing a highly amplified recording of the earworm, and conquers the entire world by reducing the citizens of all nations to mindless insanity. "[T]he peoples were hopelessly mad, ravaged by an ineradicable noise ... No one could hear anything except the noise in his own head."[28]
An article by ZME Science identified the following as factors of a song being catchy: longer and detailed musical phrases; higher number of pitches in the chorus hook; male vocalists; and higher male voices with noticeable vocal effort. Using these factors, it was concluded that British rock band Queen's "We Are The Champions" is the catchiest song in history.[29]

The Opera Awards celebrate excellence in opera and provide bursaries for emerging talent. Next year's awards will take place on 28 April 2015.
]]>Last night (22 April), stars of the opera world gathered at the Hilton Hotel in London's Park Lane to celebrate the inaugural International Opera Awards. The awards, the first devoted exclusively to opera, are designed to promote excellence in opera and recognize the achievements of performers, producers and backstage teams.
Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano, who kicked off the 2012/13 season conducting The Ring Cycle, won in the Conductor category, while a host of Royal Opera affiliated artists also received awards.
'It's a great honour to receive the Conductor of the Year award. Especially so that I can give the lions share of the credit where it belongs, to my wondrous orchestra at the Royal Opera House,' Antonio said, 'They combine great musicianship and imagination with a rare dramatic flare which makes my job an absolute joy. Bravo too, to my esteemed colleagues in the conductors category; an awesome group.'
Sophie Bevan, who sang the role of Woodbird in Siegfried earlier this season and will be singing the role of Pamina in Die Zauberflöte in May, was presented with the Young Singer award; while former Jette Parker Young Artist Daniele Rustioni won in the Newcomer category.
Jonas Kaufmann, who will sing the title role in Verdi's Don Carlo this May, was presented with both the Male Singer Award and the Readers' Award, which was voted for by over 6000 readers of Opera Magazine.
George Benjamin's Written on Skin, which had its premiere in 2012 at the Aix-en-Provence Festival before opening to acclaim in London in March, won in the World Premiere Category. Opus Arte's recording of Il trittico also picked up an award in the DVD category.
Sir Peter Moores won the Philanthropist/Sponsor award in recognition of his invaluable contribution to the art-form.
The Awards were founded by Harry Hyman, who wanted to bring opera to a much wider audience and extend its appeal. He said:
Not only do we wish to reward success, but part of the funds generated from these Awards will be channelled into at least 10 bursaries to help aspiring talent."
The awards were judged by a panel of ten opera experts, including Opera Critic of the Telegraph Rupert Christiansen, acclaimed soprano Dame Anne Evans and Editor of Opera Magazine and Chair of the panel John Allison.
For full details of winners, visit the Opera Awards website.
]]>Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano, the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and a number of Company-affiliated artists have been nominated for International Opera Awards.
This is the first year of the awards and, the only awards to focus exclusively on opera, it is hoped that they will become the Oscars of the opera world. Designed to promote excellence in opera, they recognize the achievements of performers, producers and backstage teams.
Music Director of The Royal Opera Antonio Pappano has been nominated in the Conducting category while the Royal Opera House Orchestra have been nominated in the Orchestra category.
Those nominated in the Male Singer category include Aleksandrs Antonenko, who will sing the role of Cavaradossi in Tosca this July; Jonas Kaufman who will sing the title role in Don Carlo; and Bryn Terfel who appeared in Keith Warner's production of The Ring Cycle earlier in the Season.
Joyce DiDonato, who will perform in John Fulljames's new production of La donna del lago; and Sarah Connolly, who performed in The Ring Cycle, are nominated in the Female Singer category.
Other nominees include Ryan Wigglesworth, who conducted Birtwistle's The Minotaur in Covent Garden earlier this year and is up for the Newcomer Award; Richard Jones, whose production of Britten's Gloriana opens in June has been nominated for the Director Award; and Nicola Luisotti, who will be conducting Verdi's Nabucco on the Main Stage in March and has been nominated for the Conductor Award alongside Antonio Pappano. Allan Clayton, who will perform in Written on Skin; and Sophie Bevan, who will sing Pamina in Die Zauberflöte, are nominated in the Young Singer category.
Watch Ryan Wigglesworth rehearsing for The Minotaur as part of our highlights from Royal Opera LIVE
In the DVD category, recordings of The Royal Opera performing both Richard Jones's production of Il trittico and Jonathan Kent's production of Tosca are both nominated. There is also a Reader's Award, which allows the public to vote for a singer of their choice. Cast your vote online
All other categories will be judged by an independent panel of industry experts, including John Allison, editor of Opera Magazine. He commented:
"Driven by the feeling that true excellence in opera is seldom celebrated enough, and that new and emerging artists need all the support they can get, The Operas (as we hope they will come to be known) will address both these needs while bringing together leading members of the 'industry' and its supporters."
The awards will be presented at a ceremony at the Hilton Park Lane on the 22 April 2013. View the full list of nominees.

Hi kids,
Since I have nothing better to write (or brag) about, I thought I'd tell you about my night at work last night.
I was kinda looking forward to last night, just because it's a Saturday, and I wanted to make lots of money (for those of you who've forgotten, I'm a waiter). When I got to work, there was a little mix-up in the assigning of sections, and I got what I like to call the "Big Girl" section of the restaurant. Basically what makes it the "Big Girl" section is that the senior servers get that section and split it 3 ways. As a result of the mix-up, I got one of the 3 sections, and I was very excited about it (since there are LOTS of people that have been there longer than I, I don't get that section a lot).
Anyhow, it was a happenin' night the entire time! I hardly had a moment to breathe. It's also the "Big Girls" section because it's also the busiest and most demanding. I won't lie and say that it didn't push my abilities to the limit, because it did. But damn, when the night was over, I walked away with 116 dollars in my little pockets, and that's very cool. :) I worked a 6-hour shift last night @ minimum wage (in Oregon it's 6.90/hr), so when added all together, before taxes, Momma grossed about 26.23/hr that night. Not bad for a college student. :-P Yay for money!
Unfortunately, I'm going to have to spend it on stuff I need as opposed to stuff I'd like to spend it on. :- Rent, food, that sort of thing. Meh. Anyhow, you kids behave yourselves, and I'll update you on if I find a boy to rub my feet or not. *giggle*

Concierge.com's insider take:
Don't be distracted by the other ice cream shops on the Vineyard; there's a reason why Mad Martha's has lines out the door all summer long. The ice cream, made at the Oak Bluffs establishment but also sold in Edgartown (7 North Water St.; 508-627-8761) and Vineyard Haven (20 Union St.; 508-693-5883), comes in more than 20 flavors, including a killer black raspberry and a nutty, not-too-sweet pistachio. Avoid the sundaes, though, unless you're lucky enough to score one of the few tables: They're too gloppy to eat standing up.
Open mid-May through late October.

Pittsburgh Modeling, Models and Talent |
Modeling Agencies in PittsburghOne question most new models ask is "Should I join an modeling agency?" The answer is always "yes".Yes, they will want a portion of every dollar you make modeling, but they'll bring you much more work than you would ever scrounge up on your own. The average modeling agency will charge you 20% of your fee and will also charge the client 20% on top of that. That's some serious ching that you could be putting in your pocket, instead of the agency's pocket, right? Wrong, and here's why. |
Pittsburgh Modeling, Models, and Talent is a web site dedicated to the education of models in mid to small towns like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, or Cincinnati. To many people interestied in modeling, the industry is a mystery. This site will help answer the questions that many potential and novice models may have. Join the Modeling Mailing List - If you would like to join my mailing list so that I can let you know when the next article appears, you can e-mail me here. Your email address will NOT be given away or sold. |
When an advertising agency, graphic design, or major corporation needs a model, the easiest thing for them to do is to pick up the phone and call a modeling agency. On some rate occasion, they may have someone in mind that they have hired freelance before, but nine times our of ten, they'll give their favorite modeling agency a ring. The client knows that they will be paying top dollar (good for you) and they also know that they'll have to deal with the "usage" issue (also good for you). But realistically, they don't have a choice. Models come and go in a city the size of Pittsburgh and keeping track of who's available to model for them is just too big a burden for most companies to keep track of. Rather that go to all that trouble, they just depend on the professionals to do their legwork, the Modeling Agency. Personally, I think that the Modeling Agencies charge too much, but that's probably because I'm on the "consuming" end of things. I usually don't end up paying the final modeling invoice, but I sometimes get caught in the middle of price negotiations. Not a pretty site, most of the times… Come to think of it, maybe they do earn their keep. |
I'm about to tell you something very important… As far as I know from my 20 + years of experience as a professional photographer in the city of Pittsburgh, there are ONLY two modeling agencies of the highest reputation in the city of Pittsburgh. Those two agencies are The Talent Group and Docherty Casting. I have no relationship with either company, except that my photography business is in the same building as The Talent Group, so I've gotten to know many of the people down there on the floor below me. Remember, This is my opinion based on my experience. There may be another agency out there that is doing a good job, and if you know of one, please email me and tell me about them. Recently someone saw this web page and called me to talk to me about his daughter getting into modeling. I told him that I thought that there were only two legitimate modeling agencies in the city, and he seemed to think that I was exaggerating and said that my opinion was "subjective". I agreed with him. I also said that I would bet that 99% of the other professional photographers in the city would have the same exact "subjective" opinion. If you go to the phone book, you'll probably find many more modeling agencies than just the two I've mention above. MOST, if not all the other agencies, base their business on making money from the models and not the Ad Agencies, Graphic Design and Photographers in, and around, Pittsburgh. They charge for training, and portfolio shots, and the comp cards, and portfolio binders, and anything else they can come up with. Buyer beware! I'm not saying that joining either the Talent Group or Docherty Casting will cost you nothing, but at least you'll have your headshots shown to people. At least you'll be going to an agency that actually makes MOST of their money from the local advertising community. If you know of another legitimate Modeling Agency here in Pittsburgh, please contact me and let me know about them. I'll check them out and if they stack up (in my subjective opinion) I'll ad them to my list. |
