A friend of mine does not believe things that are not painted, drawn, etc. is considered art. So she doesn't think that music or ballet is an art. What do you guys think?

Visual art/"fine art" is just one kind of art. "Art" is conventionally understood to include many modes of expression, from music and sculpture to dance and photography.
Constraining a definition of art to hand-made visual art would exclude many of the most popular forms of expression from consideration as art: literature, theater, photograpy and music.
I would say that your friend has a semantic issue with the question at hand. My guess is that she takes the term art more narrowly than most and I would argue that this narrow view is both technically and conventionally incorrect. Aesthetically-oriented expression is certainly not limited to visual art.
Art... 4.a : the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects; also : works so produced
I have to agree with the previous post. I can't think of any reason to say that music is not art. It is, after all, produced by people as a way of conveying ideas and emotions to other people. I would say that this makes it an art.
Musicians who perform and chronicle their work are called "musical artists," and I agree that music is a true art form. However, there is a big difference between someone who perfects their trade, masters their instrument and creates an endearing piece of music and a person who does not. Only the finest musicians, singers, lyricists and composers can be truly called an "artist."
According to Greek mythology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse), music belongs to the arts just as poetry and astronomy and is repesented by the muse Euterpe. But of course: everyone has their own opinion if music is really art. For myself: classical music is an art, punk music can be an art by looking at the lyrics but not the music itself. You'll have to decide for yourself what you like / don't like
I would say music is a form of art. We usually call it a performance art. Music is a form of self-expression, and that uses an artistic sense. Art does not have to be visual. Art is creativity and vision.
I have never ever heard someone telling "Music is not an Art". And so I am very curious to get answer from the same person that- "If music is not an art then what is music?"
I realy, eagerly wait for this answer.
If you want to be technical about it, music is written down. It is no different than a poem or beautiful painting. Yes, one has to be able to read music in order to appreciate its written form, but the same could be said of many other written arts. Even a painting requires a certain knowledge set to be trully appreciated. If art is "the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance," then we must conclude that music and dance fall into this category as well.
This should be a moot point. Is music not included within Schools of Fine Art? Artistic expression finds its form in architecture, visual arts, and music. All are creative acts from the minds and souls of individuals, not from any other source.
I think - If Music is not an art then it is surely something above than art, something beyond than art.
It is very important to know whether this question is asked technicaly or in some other way. Because if it is asked in a technical way then the answer would be same from all people and that is - "Yes music is an art". But if the question is asked philosophicaly then I think different people can have their own expression to define Music.
I think music is an art.

Michael Jackson's acquittal was a victory for a law that could have helped convict him in his child molestation trial.
Some members of the jury, which acquitted "The King of Pop" of all 10 charges related to allegations that he molested a now-15-year-old boy, said they suspected the singer had molested other children but that prosecutors had not proven he had done anything illegal to the accuser in his trial.
During deliberations, jury foreman Paul Rodriguez said, he and other jurors frequently discussed the testimony they had heard about past allegations that Jackson had molested or behaved inappropriately with five other boys, including two youngsters who reached multimillion-dollar settlements with the singer in the 1990s.
But, Rodriguez said, the jurors knew they could not convict solely on the basis of past allegations.
"We couldn't weigh that with this case in particular," he said. "We all felt that he was guilty of something. But we feel that if he didn't learn from this experience, then it's up to another jury to convict him."
The defense tried unsuccessfully to bar Santa Barbara County prosecutors from presenting testimony about the prior allegations, arguing that the singer had never been criminally charged for those accusations and that the evidence would unfairly prejudice the jury.
However, the verdict in Jackson's trial showed that propensity evidence in sex crime trials does not necessarily lead to an automatic conviction and jurors can fairly evaluate the evidence.
"You've got to really hand it to the jury in Jackson's case," said Ronald Carlson, a professor at the University of Georgia School of Law. "In most cases, jurors are less likely to separate the past allegations from the present case before them and merge the prior accusations with the case before them. They decide to convict someone based on past similar [alleged] acts and not evidence in the current charges. Jurors in Jackson's case didn't do that."
Many court observers believed Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville's decision to admit the testimony was going to help prosecutors win a conviction.
"I admit, I thought the admission of the prior bad acts was going to be the end of Jackson," said California-based defense attorney Steve Cron. "I thought his defense would be hard-pressed to overcome that."
Prosecutors used the testimony to portray the singer as a pedophile whose actions were part of a pattern of behavior and tactics he allegedly used to seduce and groom young boys. The prosecution argued that Jackson won the trust of his current accuser, a cancer survivor who was 13 at the time of the alleged molestation, by showering him with attention, lavish gifts and accommodations.
Though he negotiated settlements for boys who accused him of molestation in 1990 and 1993, Jackson has always denied any wrongdoing. Three young men the prosecution had alleged were molested by Jackson -- including actor Macaulay Culkin -- testified for the defense and denied the accusations.
A change in California law in 1995 regarding sex crime cases allows prosecutors to present testimony on alleged prior bad acts or propensity evidence. The use of such evidence has long been a source of legal debate.

C&C 121/ Tartan 4100
I am looking at purchasing a new C&C 121 or a Tartan 4100. I have been imnpressed with both of these boats and am aware of the performance variable between C&C and Tartan. I am looing for owner input..
Any owners of either of these two yachts have input for me? |
C&C 121/ Tartan 4100
I guess that I would have to ask, "What do you plan to do with these boats and where do you plan to sail them?"
Jeff |
C&C 121/ Tartan 4100
My question would be:
Why limit yourself with these two boats? you can also look at Dehler 41 and Grand Soleil 40 as alternatives. Personally I found Tartan''s very overprized and I don''t like the cockpit layout and sail handling plan of the C&C 121... Good Luck |
C&C 121/ Tartan 4100
Tartens are one of the best built production boats one can buy. See Practical Sailor. Are you going offshore? Tartans are built to do just that.
C&C 121/ Tartan 4100
Thanks for your posts. I apologize for the delay.
I will be crusing up and down the midatlantic region of the US offshore. The Tartan 4100 seems like a real nice boat. Do you rally think they are over priced? The C&C 121 also seems like a very capable boat with a higher performance orientation. I have not heard much about either one of these two rather "new" boat lines. I understand that Fairport yachts has only been producing them for about 5 years or so. We are trying to obtain more information from owners or those who are somewhat knowledgable. Thanks |

"Disco Clam" Lights Up To Scare Predators Away 49
from the stayin-alive dept.
from the stayin-alive dept.
sciencehabit writes When predators get close, the bright, orange-lipped "disco clam" flashes them to scare them off. But it's not just the light that's important. Researchers have found that the clam has sulfur in its fleshy lips and tentacles and suspect that, like another clam species that drop tentacles laden with sulfuric acid to deter predators, the disco clam's sulfur also gets converted into a distasteful substance. The flashing may warn predators away, similar to the bright orange of a monarch butterfly warning birds of its toxic taste.

Comalcalco, 51km northwest of Villahermosa, is typical of the medium-sized towns of western Tabasco – hot, bustling, quite prosperous and spread around a broad, open central plaza (Parque Juárez).
What makes it especially worth visiting are the impressive ruins of ancient Comalcalco (admission M$35;
The museum at the entrance has a fine array of sculptures and engravings of human heads, deities, glyphs and animals such as crocodiles and pelicans.
The buildings within the site have information panels in both Spanish and English. The first building you encounter is the great brick-built, tiered pyramid, Templo 1. At its base are the remains of large stucco sculptures, including the feet of a giant winged toad. Further temples line Plaza Norte, in front of Templo I. In the far (southeast) corner of the site rises the Gran Acrópolis, with views from its summit over a canopy of palms to the Gulf of Mexico. The Acrópolis is fronted by Templo V, a burial pyramid that was once decorated on all sides with stucco sculptures of people, reptiles, birds and aquatic life. At Templo V's western foot is Templo IX, with a tomb lined by nine stucco sculptures showing a Comalcalco lord with his priests and courtiers. Above Templo V is the crumbling profile of El Palacio, with its parallel 80m-long corbel-arched galleries, probably once Comalcalco's royal residence.
The site is 1km (signposted) off the Comalcalco–Paraíso road. Vans to the turnoff (M$5) stop outside Comalcalco's ADO terminal. A taxi to the site costs around M$20.

Real Madrid, Chelsea coaches hold clinics in PH
MANILA, Philippines -- With the rise of the Philippine Azkals, football has also been gaining popularity in the country.
Which is why football clinics and schools have started leveling up, bringing in international coaches from prestigious European teams.
The YKK Just for Kicks Football clinic brought in coaches from Real Madrid Club de Futbol of Spain to help football camps for nearly 300 kids over the weekend.
"It's a great opportunity to come here and teach this beautiful game to these kids in the Philippines. It's important to teach them the right basics as early as possible and to make the game fun for them," said coach Jaime Torcal Cano of Real Madrid
Also in the country are coaches from the Chelsea football club, the team of Phil and James Younghusband of the Azkals when they were growing up in England.
The Chelsea soccer school is partnering with the Younghusbands' Football Academy.
"Masaya kami that our old team back in London has sent their support to help our kababayans. This is a big boost for Philippine football," said Phil.
"We're very excited to be able to teach the kids the European style of football the way we grew up learning and loving the sport," said James.
The Chelsea soccer school powered by the Younghusband Football Academy will begin on May 15 and is open to kids 16 years and below.

from The Orthodox Faith by Fr. Thomas Hopko
The paschal season of the Church is preceded by the season of Great Lent, which is itself preceded by its own liturgical preparation. The first sign of the approach of Great Lent comes five Sundays before its beginning. On this Sunday the Gospel reading is about Zacchaeus the tax-collector. It tells how Christ brought salvation to the sinful man and how his life was greatly changed simply because he "sought to see who Jesus was" (Lk 19:3). The desire and effort to see Jesus begins the entire movement through lent towards Easter. It is the first movement of salvation.

About the Patron of our Parish
By Helen Creticos Theodoropoulos
Deep within the heart of the Church, in the place where sorrow and joy meet and where our bitter tears are kissed away by a mother's love, we encounter the Most Holy Mother of God. The Church in its devotion to the Ever-Virgin Mary has always known that she is a mystery and a gift given to us by God. The Theotokos is a mystery that can be experienced and encountered, and yet never explained or described in words of logic and science, and she is a gift that brings radiant joy and comfort in the midst of darkness and need. Through the centuries the Church has expressed its love for her through countless hymns, has praised her in its most exquisite poetry and song, and has portrayed her in its most beautiful and beloved icons. No other saint is the subject of so much devotion, and no other saint has so many miracles attributed him or her.

Our church building, and the services celebrated within it, are from the tradition of the Church, from the vision of St John the Apostle, as well as the Old Testament Temple. The interior of the Orthodox Church buildings are particularly styled to give the experience of the unity of all things in God.

A Worthy Update with Remarkable Improvements for Pros and Aspiring Video Editor
By Daren Garius

I think Vegas Pro is the only software left used by amateur enthusiasts of video editing. Some of its rivals have vanished over the years, and Premiere Pro CC is now accessible via subscription. With this latest version, I like how Vegas Pro now includes sophisticated audio metering, advanced archival tools, and the Vegas Pro Connect iPad app. I like the idea of Vegas Pro Connect is a new iPad designed to help teams work together on their assignments. Just follow the guidelines in the online help, and then you can now communicate over a local network.
Moreover, I like that its interface gives an impressive range of ground-breaking tools and considerate touches with a fully modified workspace for achieving a wide variety of production tasks. Overall, SONY Vegas Pro 13.0.310 is vastly powerful non-linear editing software that is responsive and accurate to use. It is an excellent video editing with fascinating developments for professionals and enough to keep amateurPros
- It has stylish audio metering
- It has a wide array of tools
- It may be difficult for beginners
A Software Package for Video Editing Used By Both Amateurs and Professionals
By Ivy Paloma
On Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Sony's Vegas Pro is a program for amateurs and professionals. It was formerly published by Sonic Foundry, and now it is run and owned by Sony Creative Software. In my opinion as a user of this program, Vegas Pro is not simple to use, but still it is more comprehensible than other suites out there such as Premiere and Final Cut Pro. Also, this software allows you to work on your videos with freedom. With this software, you can now import your media from various devices including HD videos.
Moreover, the program interface is very similar to other video editors. Using this program, you can now organize audio and video tracks on your work. The best thing here is that you can now freely close, open and arrange the program's varied components that suit your needs. All in all, Sony Vegas is one of those programs that are entirely worth the effort.
- Support for loads of formats
- Loads of video and audio effects and filters
- This program missing several new and innovative features

Very good
I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff was great and it is very clean. The amenities in the room were enough to stay in if I wanted to. Esp, the microwave and frig. I went to Mexico for dental work and this location allowed me to drive a short distance to the border and walk into central Tijuana. And the bus to the trolley is right in front of the hotel to go to downtown San Diego. I will stay next visit!
The flashing red lite on the phone never got fixed.
Laundry facilities , and gym was fairly reasonable, wi fi
Breakfast facilities, room facilities, value for money, this hotel needs urgent renovation and update
Room service but it's all coming from young mo
I thought it was a nice little place in a convenient location with good service.
I went for medical treatment in Tijuana. The medical van left without me then charged $70 to take me there. Then they wanted another $70 to bring me back to the hotel. The owner of YTS Salazar yelled at me on the phone and left me stranded in Tijuana, Mexico. It is a total rip off!!!
The location which is close to the outlet store.
The breakfast was more of a Mexican Fare.
Breakfast was okay, but you need to get there early for good food. Pool was nice.
the night staff did not save the king i booked, instead he give me a queen room, we was planing to stay two night, because they can not guarantee our room on the second day, we checked out and move to different hotel.
I enjoyed the experience and the price. They have a nice variety of breakfast foods, pool, and gym. I would stay here again.
Its comfortable and quiet. Close yo the freeway.
The toilet was clog. Bad experience. Will stay there in the future.
big clean comfy bed and couch in our suite, love staying here when we go to the San Diego area.
Didnt like location. We were given a different room than we reserved. Had to waste time switching.
Rooms were large and clean. Breakfast was good.
The price was too high for basic room and the location was near the Mexico/USA border, so I was expecting a lower rate since we were so far off from San Diego. The breakfast area was too crowded; however they discourage eating in the rooms.
Well presented motel ideally situated near the Mexican border. Staff cordial and helpful
Bit hard to find
did not like the area of free continental breakfast; not enough tables to sit, had to go to my room to eat. not enough food. the employees were too protective of the food, the cleaning crew were coming to take food outside...not a varierity of healthy food /snacks.. at 9:30am they had no more eggs..etc. had to ask for milk for my flakes,,asked for waffles the lady said the machine was already turned off.would have like more and different kind of fruit... the workers were kind of rude... this lady had her 4 year olds cleaning a spill ...while the worker was just looking at them.... rudddeeee!!!!! asked for towels... but never got them. sad
I saw in the coupon book after that their price was $59. We paid $109 it was a week end was expecting maybe $10 -$20 more but not that much.
The room was clean and comfortable. It was nice to have refrigerator AND a microwave.
The all-in-one shampoo and soap dispenser in the shower was weird! I would preferred some good quality individual travel sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner and a bar of soap. They had good breakfast food, but the room was small for the large crowd!
quietness and nice heated pool, continental breakfast with wonderful. air conditioning in the room was nice clean sheets soft pillows
Clean rooms, no loud noices during night.
The continental breakfast to much carbohydrates.
Bed, cleanliness, big closet area, short drive to groceries and great CV tacos, close to IB and TJ, decent fitness room, bottle opener on sink
Pool/hot tub too small for adults and next to dirt lot, no decent restaurant within walking distance, staff not bilingual and/or not professional, breakfast room was rented out for a huge kids party
I had to have surgury and your van going across the border was great. Will only stay at this location.
Although small, had a pool and jacuzzi
Tickets needed for complementary breakfast and certain staff members specifically asking Afican American families for tickets.

Our members provide a wide range of technical communications services within a variety of industries, such as computer hardware and software, photographic imaging, medicine and health care, telecommunications, community service, and education.

Spectrum 2011 was an outstanding experience for me, as a presenter and an attendee. Presenter notables: excellent communication from the chapter, clear instructions on registering, visiting Rochester, and preparing to attend. Attendee notables: outstanding organization, almost flawless execution, and inspiring sessions. I particularly enjoyed attending Hannah Morgan's "Using Social Media to Enhance Your Career" talk and have already put in use a social media action plan. I am impressed that so many of your competition award winners were in attendance to receive their professionally presented awards. Good job, Spectrum 2011 committee! from Barrie Byron, Spectrum presenter and attendee ———————- Barrie Byron Contact infoE-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com: @barriebyronLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/barriebyronBlog: barriebyron.wordpress.com

The Spectrum conference is a gem in Central NY. What a treat to have STC officers as well as experts in the techcomm field come to Rochester for networking and education. As an Albany, NY resident who can never travel to the international Summit, this conference is not an opportunity I believe I can afford to miss; it pays great career dividends. The STC Rochester council runs an impressive and well-organized program, and I appreciate how welcoming they are to out-of-towners like me. I loved coming back home with so much new information to reflect on, follow up on, and immediately apply to my current work. ~ Mary Elise (Mel) Dedicke
Kristi Leach
I led a workshop called "Grassroots Documentation Testing" at the Spectrum conference. It was the first time I've presented outside of my home chapter, and it was a good venue for a newbie. I got specific, respectful feedback , and I got to speak with some of the attendees afterward. This kind of interaction happens at the STC annual Summit, too, but the smaller conference size at Spectrum means that the common gatherings are more intimate. I enjoy getting to new cities, comparing chapters and job markets. I only got to see a few glimpses of Rochester, but my speaker gifts (a photo book of Rochester locales and a book of wine pairings and recipes from the Canandaigua Wine Trail) will probably help lure me back for a longer stay next time. Talking with RIT students was pretty encouraging. I spoke with two undergraduates: one who had a dual major and one who had a triple major. I think it's smart that students interested in journalism, advertising, entrepreneurship, and psychology find value in a technical communications conference. It's all related, and to miss that is to miss valuable skills and valuable content. Also: a Rochester Flare User Group? I'm totally jealous of that. Kristi Leach is a technical communicator new to the Chicago area. She has experience documenting complex software, conducting customer research, and content planning for STC community sites.

While there's nothing wrong with Summit and its hundreds of attendees, it's the small conferences that allow people to really connect, both in and out of the sessions. And, Spectrum is fast becoming my favourite smaller conference. This was my second year attending and presenting. The STC Rochester chapter members seem to care very much about their profession and it shows in their eager participation in and excellent organization of the conference. It was an excellent program; so much (almost too much!) to chose from. I would have liked to have had more time to socialize and share stories, and to reconnect with friends made last year! -- Pamela Kostur Parallax Communications Contact email@example.com: @Pamela_Parallaxhttp://www.parallax.ca/

To all whom itinay concern: Be it known that I, James W. GUILLOIT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicage, county of Cook, State of Illinois, have 5 invented a certain new and useful 1m rovement in Gaskets; and I declare the fo owing to be a full, clear, and exact descri JlilOIl of the invention, such as will enable 0!; ers skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and to the aceompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification. My invention relates in general to gaskets, to metallic gaskets, or forming joints betweensections of conduits for carrying fluids at high pressure. The rapid deterioration of rubber and fabrics when exposed to steam, ammonia-and s prevents the use of rubber or fabric gaskets in the joints of conduits adapted to carry such fluids. It has therefore been proposed heretofore to employ metallic gaskets either in the form of washers or corrugated annular disks. The use of solid metallic askets is not only d unsatisfactory, as the resulting joint is so ri id that the expansion of the sections when eated at, the oint o breaks the bolts uniting the flanges around the adjacent ends of united sections or else cracks the flanges themselves. Corrugated metallic gaskets as heretofore constructed are objectionable, for the reason that the corfiattened by etween which thereby permiteakage when the flanges contract; The primary object of m invention is to ie gasket which will not be permanently flattened when compressed between the ends of the united sections of a conduit, but which will be sufficiently resilient to maintain a close contact the compression of the flan cs 5 between the ends of the united sections when they separate by contraction, thereby forming a permanently tight joint. A further object of my invention is to provide a gasket which will be simple in con- 50 struction, inexpensive in manufacture, and efficient and durable in use. The herein-disclosed emhodiment 'f my invention, generally described, consists a metallic annular disk having concentric cor- 5 5 rugations and metallic" rings united to the inner and outer edges of the disk, thereby in- Speciflcation of Letters Patent.

Similar reference characters are t designate similar parts in the several figmes of the drawings. A designates a metallic asket consisting in an annular disk provided with concentric corrugations. The openin 5 through. the gasket may be of any desire diame to cor respond with the diameter of the conduit between sections of which the gasket is to he in serted to form a joint. The exterior die-me ter of the-gasket may be varied to conform to the diameter of the-usual circular flanges which surround the ends of the conduit-sec tions and through which securin -bol s passed. By reference to Fig. 2 it will be seen that a ring of metal, is located concentrically around the gasket and is located within a fold 1, preferably formed integrally with the metal 0? the gas ct.

Stridor is a gasping sound during inhalation resulting from a partial blockage of the throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx), or windpipe (trachea).
Stridor is usually loud enough to be heard at some distance. The sound is caused by turbulent airflow through a narrowed upper airway. In children, the cause may be croup, an inhaled foreign object, or, rarely, an infection of the epiglottis. In adults, the cause may be a tumor, an abscess, or swelling (edema) in the upper airway, or occasionally an inhaled foreign object. Brief episodes of stridor can result when a person inhales a food particle or bit of water into the lungs, causing contraction of the voice box (larynx) or has a malfunction of the vocal cords (also called paradoxical vocal cord motion).
Stridor that causes shortness of breath when the person is at rest is a medical emergency. If an inhaled foreign object is a likely cause and the person is outside of a hospital, another person, if trained, can sometimes help expel the foreign object. For example, in an adult, the other person may use the Heimlich maneuver. If a person has stridor and is in a hospital or emergency department, a tube may be inserted through the person's mouth or nose (tracheal intubation) or through a small surgical incision directly into the trachea (tracheostomy) to allow air to get past the blockage and prevent suffocation. The cause usually becomes clear during tracheal intubation, when the doctor can see the upper airway directly. If tracheal intubation is not done, the diagnosis is usually determined by inserting a flexible viewing tube through the nose and upper airway (a procedure called nasopharyngeal laryngoscopy).
