Tattoo removal program offers fresh start
Cris Pulido was once a walking billboard for violence.
Thick black tattoos marred his neck and sprawled down his arms, back and legs. The symbols and slogans pled
allegiance to the sureños. Broken stars and phrases promised trouble for rival norteños.
Just one look at him might start a fight.
"Without saying words, it was a challenge," said Pulido, 30, who grew up in Santa Rosa and now lives in Novato.
But since 2010, Pulido has been chipping away at that identity during the slow and painful process of removing his tattoos.
Each month, about 40 teenagers and adults like Pulido fill the waiting room at a Santa Rosa clinic for Clean Slate, the city's tattoo removal program run by Social Advocates for Youth.
They arrive to erase allegiances to gangs, former lovers and pimps. They arrive to remove obstacles to jobs. They come to undo what once seemed like indelible choices.
"People don't stare anymore," said Pulido, who has endured 18 sessions in about two years, with breaks to allow his skin to heal. "People treat me normal now."
Today, the thick black tattoos on his neck are barely visible.
Entering its fifth year in Santa Rosa, Clean Slate uses laser technology to remove tattoos through a painful procedure that hurts more than getting a tattoo.
The process takes months and sometimes years to diminish a tattoo, depending on the size, quality and ink of the tattoo.
Since 2008, 15 young people have completed the program and a current roster of 70 people are undergoing treatment. Twenty-seven have dropped out.
Young people, ages 24 and under, pay a $50 one-time fee and give 25 hours of community service before their first session. There is a long waiting list for older adults, who pay $65 per session.
It is a massive commitment for youth, who must continue showing up month after month for a painful procedure.
But if waiting lists and attendance records are any indication, the pain and commitment is no obstacle for the young people eager to get rid of tattoos that are holding them back, said Toni Abraham, program manager for prevention services with Social Advocates for Youth.
"For all of them it's a barrier to employment, and for some it's about erasing bad memories," Abraham said.
The young people waiting in examination rooms on a recent day at the Southwest Community Health Center pulled up sleeves and shirts to reveal tattoos they got sometimes by force or fear.
They pointed to slogans they agreed to when drunk and high. They were inked by acquaintances in bedrooms or strangers in garages.
When her name was called, Jessica, 24, of Santa Rosa kissed her 3-year-old daughter and left the child in her grandmother's lap.
As she stepped into an exam room, Jessica said she didn't know the tattoo a man convinced her to let him ink above her shoulder blades five years ago was a white supremacist slogan used by prison gangs.
She was drunk and high at the time. She was devastated the next day when she found out what it meant.
She tried to hide it, but it wasn't always easy. One day, a tank top revealed the tattoo to a woman sitting behind her on the bus. The woman spit on her.
"How am I supposed to explain to someone that I'm not like that?" said Jessica, who asked that her last name not be included because she's looking for a job. "I felt unsafe."
Jessica, now 19 months sober, held her breath as Christina Chan, a nurse with Monarch Laser Services contracted by Clean Slate, began her seventh session.
The process involves the zap of a laser that sends concentrated wavelengths into the skin. The light is emitted at certain wavelengths designed to travel through the skin but heat the ink, shattering it into particles the body can eventually absorb.
With rapid-fire zaps, Chan traced Jessica's tattoo with the laser's light. Jessica squeezed her eyes shut as her skin raised into red welts.
"It definitely hurts more going away," said Mike Haiman, chief of dermatology at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Santa Rosa.
Haiman helped get the program started in 2008 and has since volunteered his time each session to consult with patients.
"Here you have young people who want to improve their lives, but they have this blotch of ink barring them," Haiman said.
Young people compared the pain to a thousand wasp stings, repeated snaps of an elastic band or the stinging spray of bacon grease. But it dissipates quickly with an ice pack.
Next, two sweet-faced teen boys, Pedro and Eduardo, walked into the examination room to face the pain together. Their last names are being withheld to protect them from gang retaliation.
One week out of juvenile hall, they each decided to cut ties to the Santa Rosa gangs that put battery, assault, public drunkenness and gang enhancements on their rap sheets.
Pedro held out his wrist for the nurse, who swiped an antiseptic swab over the word inscribed four years ago when he thought he'd always belong to a gang: Forever.
"I was in deep," Pedro said.
But by age 17, with several stints in juvenile hall and a 9-month-old daughter he adores, Pedro said he now has a different vision of his future.
"I want to give her the life I never had," Pedro said. "You feel responsible. There's a life now other than your own."
Pedro's friend grabbed his hand as the young man braced for the laser's bite.
Clean Slate is primarily funded by the Mayor's Gang Prevention Task Force through Measure O public safety sales tax dollars. Kaiser funded a $19,500 grant to get the program going in its first year and an additional grant the next year.
But last year, Clean Slate funding came up short and it had only enough to hold six tattoo removal sessions, half the normal amount. The cuts were "devastating" to youth in the program, who knew that meant their tattoos might linger an extra six months or a year, Abraham said.
The program has resumed its monthly sessions and Abraham said she hopes to build a more reliable funding base and eventually buy a laser machine to reduce its costs.
The program is essential for youth like 19-year-old Julie Borja of Sonoma.
Borja grit her teeth and grasped Abraham's hands as Chan, the nurse, readied the laser wand.
The pain was nearly unbearable for Borja, who clenched in agony during the procedure. But the tattoos on her hands, neck and chest are painful reminders of a period in her life she's battling to leave behind.
"They have to go away, there is no other option," Borja said.

APD Real Time Crime Center Reduces Crime
Updated: Saturday, August 3 2013, 04:08 PM CDT
At Austin Police Department's Real Time Crime Center, officers monitor the city's streets 24 hours, 7 days a week.
Since 2011 Austin Police have been keeping an eye on us.
"We have some cameras that are fixed on a particular location. We also have cameras we can physically control here from the real time crime center and in doing so, we're allowed to move that camera to track a vehicle, an individual or even a disturbance that happened down Sixth Street," says Lt. Jeff Hampton.
During the day, two officers monitor our every move. At night, two more join the watch party. Thirty-one cameras are posted across the city in high crime areas, four in the Rundberg area.
"Historically that's an area where we have a lot of narcotics, prostitution, assaults and theft," says Lt. Hampton.
Since the center's launch, officers have been able to record street video to use as evidence in hundreds of court cases. From August to the end of 2012, 56 times HALO officers were able to monitor criminal activity on from the cameras, call officers in the area and make an immediate arrest.
"We recently had an incident in early March where an officer was able to identify a vehicle that we believe was used in a bank robbery. We were able to link that bank robber to four other robbery of businesses," says Lt. Hampton.
Now the department wants more eyes in the sky, but that will depend on funding. The Real Time Crime Center cost $750,000 to setup. It was paid for by grants.

Phoronix: NVIDIA 304.60 Driver Fixes Bugs
NVIDIA has issued a stable Linux graphics driver update in the 304.xx series to address outstanding bugs...
You are causing fights with your inflammatory nonsense.
Wow, asdx derailed the thread with the very first reply. That's got to be some sort of record. Can we have an on-topic discussion *one time* please?
So it would be tough without the blobs anyway.
Maybe NVIDIA can opensource parts of their driver. But cursing them won't help in any way.
And they say that in any fight, not one person is to blame.
Maybe make this proposal to them and see if it can work for example:
Don't if there is any kind of contraints though not taken into account.
Cursing them still won't help them do it ..
I'm sure people are already doing this, but let's tone down the anti-NVidia rhetoric.. it only serves them, not the OSS community.
If you had read any of my posts, this would be glaringly obvious to you. But you're just a bored flamer looking for a flamewar, no time to read. You went on one of your tirades again, derailing yet another thread.


text: Description Windows 8.1 Enterprise is the enterprise-level version of the latest Microsoft operating system. It works best when used in an enterprise environment along with Windows Server 2012. This 64-bit version will operate only on a computer with a 64-bit processor and 64-bit drivers. This donation provides one upgrade license for Windows 8.1 Enterprise. You should request one upgrade license for each computer you are upgrading to Windows 8.1. If you have Windows 8, the Windows 8.1 upgrade is free from the Volume Licensing Service Center. If you prefer to upgrade to the Pro edition of Windows 8.1 instead of the Enterprise edition, you can use this license to download Pro from the VLSC. See the Product Use Rights Summary for Desktop Operating Systems for specific licensing details. Benefits for Organizations If you have system administration experience, you can use Windows 8.1 Enterprise with Windows Server 2012 to: Provide mobile workers with access to your organizational network without the need for VPN Allow employees to securely take a bootable version of their Windows 8.1 Enterprise desktop on a USB drive to other computers Enhance network performance and minimize bandwidth usage Upgrade License Only Only certain editions of the Windows operating system qualify for upgrade licenses under TechSoup's Volume Licensing agreements with Microsoft. See the system requirements to make sure your device qualifies. If your device doesn't meet the requirements for an upgrade product, you might be eligible for a full operating system license through Microsoft's Get Genuine Windows Agreement for Small and Medium Organizations program. Major Capabilities All Windows 8.1 Pro capabilities: Windows 8.1 Enterprise provides all the capabilities of Windows 8.1 Pro, including a modern interface, apps, cloud integration, and enhanced security. DirectAccess: Mobile workers can connect securely to your organizational network anytime they have Internet access — without the need for VPN. IT administrators using Windows Server can manage mobile computers by updating Group Policy settings and distributing software updates anytime the mobile computer has Internet connectivity. Windows To Go: You can create a copy of an employee's Windows 8.1 workspace on a USB drive. This allows employees to access a secure, bootable version of their Windows 8.1 Enterprise desktop on another PC regardless of that PC's operating system. The device must meet Windows hardware certification requirements. BranchCache: Your organization's PCs can cache files, websites, and other content from central servers running Windows Server 2012 so that content is not repeatedly downloaded across your network. This can minimize network traffic between branch offices and the main office. BitLocker drive encryption: BitLocker encrypts hard drives more quickly to protect sensitive data from being accessed by unauthorized users who come into possession of any of your organization's computers. Start Screen control: Administrators can control the layout of the Start screen to ensure certain apps are accessible and also to enforce consistency across all devices. Installing Windows 8.1 Unless you are upgrading from Windows 7, this installation requires a "clean install." This means that if the computer has an existing operating system, you must remove all operating system files and applications, install the system, and reinstall the applications. For complete information, see TechSoup's How to Upgrade to Windows 8. Windows 8.1 Enterprise requires significant system resources, as detailed in the system requirements. It is likely that PCs currently running an operating system older than Windows Vista might not be able to run Windows 8.1. For a good start on evaluating whether to upgrade, see TechSoup's Should You Upgrade to Windows 8? Questions to Consider. Important Volume Licensing Information With Windows 8.1, your organization can choose between two types of volume license keys for product activation: a Key Management Service (KMS) license key or a Multiple Activation Key (MAK). A Key Management Service (KMS) key for Windows 8.1 is available to your organization by default on the Microsoft Volume Licensing website; that is, this is the only type of key you will see unless you request a MAK. A KMS key requires at least 25 computers on a network for activation. If your organization has fewer than 25 computers, you should request a MAK from the Volume Licensing website after receiving this product. For information about obtaining a MAK or deciding which type of key to use, see TechSoup's Volume Licensing Service Center — Product Keys page. Choose Carefully The administrative fee for this product is not refundable, and the product cannot be exchanged. Obtaining This Product Installing this product requires you to download the software from the Volume Licensing Service Center and enter a license key. You can download any available version or language for your product. After you download the software, learn how to install it or burn it to a disc for later use. The license key allows you to install the product on as many computers as you have received licenses for. This quantity is specified in the first email you receive from TechSoup after requesting this product. Expect three emails: When your donation request has been approved, TechSoup will send a message to your organization email address confirming the number of licenses you have requested. Make sure the organization email that is registered with TechSoup is up-to-date. Visit My Member Profile and verify the address in your active organization profile. Microsoft will send an email welcoming your organization to the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). TechSoup will send an email with information about obtaining your license key and managing your donation at the VLSC. If you are new to the VLSC, you should wait for this email before you register there. Software Assurance Under the Software Assurance program, you have the right to install any new release of products covered in the agreement during the term of your coverage.

Comments On Feb 03, 2014:I bought these hoping to get some nice shrouds and I was very happy! As far as the function, I really couldn't tell a difference.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jan 04, 2014:Great concept to cool the engine down by having air vents in the radiator shroud. Noticed the radiator shroud did not fit as well as the OEM shroud but it fit. My only complaint was if I fell in soft deep rutted corner the vent would fill with dirt and made it difficult to clean.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 08, 2013:Great design but the fitment on these need to be a little better. I purchased these with the cycra fuel tank covers it was a great purchase together and for the most part fit pretty well with a bit of Persuasion.

Comments On Mar 27, 2012:Looks better than stock and works with stock graphics

Comments On Jul 05, 2010:Excellent shrouds. Seems to work well. Even a little more air when racing is a huge improvement. Give yourself that factory team look as well. The only drawback is you have to be real good a applying graphics but patience and a good heat gun will help out. Fx does make graphics just for these shrouds for some models!

Comments On Mar 11, 2009:Not sure if it really helps, but it doesn't hurt for sure. They seem to be made a little stronger than OEM. Nice and glossy too.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 11, 2008:As far as performance, I didnt see where it really helped and cooled the bike down. But the way they are designed, it had to have brought more fresh air through the radiators than the stock shrouds. But the bling of these shrouds make it all worth while of buying and putting them on your bike.

Honey Soy Chicken Wings
Hello there my dear readers and fans, have you noticed anything different?
Yes, the new and updated design on Rasa Malaysia. Yay!
I haven't updated Rasa Malaysia for a while, well, not since the Coconut Shrimp post, which was posted on July 14, 2011. So it's been almost 3 years ago that I worked on a major redesign on Rasa Malaysia. The reasons are very simple: I love my old design, I thought everything was very functional, it looked great, but most of all, I was just being lazy.
However, with the advances in new technology and the proliferation of mobile tablets and smart phones, people are accessing my site through these devices more these days. So in a few weeks, I am going to launch phase 2 of the design which will be responsive to your mobile devices for better user experience. Anyway, I hope you like the updated look. Everything works pretty much the same and the overall design is getting a facelift instead of a complete makeover. Please pardon the dusts in the next few weeks as we work to clean up the kinks, bugs, and the smaller details. Thanks in advance for your patience!
To celebrate the launch of this new design, I wanted to make something that would make my site look very delicious, and I thought of these gorgeous and absolutely scrumptious honey soy chicken wings. I saw a similar recipe from a Taiwanese cookbook in my good friend's home and that inspired me to make these wings. This is my version of honey soy chicken wings using soy sauce, honey, sake, and mirin as the main ingredients.
These honey soy chicken wings are delicious and can be served any day, occasions, and great for parties. The taste is absolutely savory, sticky sweet (in a good way) and finger-licking good. If you love chicken wings, you would love them.
While you are checking out my recipe, don't forget to check out the homepage of Rasa Malaysia. It looks awesome!

Wow these wings look absolutely mouthwatering…can I have some please?
Bee, what is "black pepper powder"?
The new facelift looks really sleek and clean! I really like it :-). Do you do the whole thing yourself? Also, this recipe seems perfect for a weekday dinner! 30 mins marination and 15 mins cooking. We love chicken wings especially with sticky glazes.
Do you have the nutritional information for this recipe?
Can I leave out the sake?
These look really tasty! :)
Looks yummy!
If I use gluten free soy sauce will it work?
Hello dear…i want to ask u what ingredient to substitute mirin and sake for muslim?
Made these alongside coleslaw and fresh rice the other day! They were delicious. Will definitely make them again.
Are there any other sweet wine substitution for the Mirin for a last minute "throw together" feast? Thanks.

Any Bronies/Pegasisters here?
I'm a Brony. For those who don't know what that is, it means that I'm an adult male who is a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Are there any other Bronies or Pegasisters (adult female fans) on the site? For those who aren't, but are wondering how the heck an otherwise normal adult - especially a man - can enjoy a show targeted at little girls, I'm happy to answer any questions about the show and fandom that I can.

15 Years Ago: Ron Wood Saved From Boat Fire
On April 8, 1998, Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood was rescued by paparazzi from a yacht fire. Seems the legendary guitarist was out on a boat trip near Brazil, as another boat of paparazzi was on the chase behind to try and score some candid photos. As the otherwise mellow excursion proceeded, Wood's boat suddenly burst into flames.
Wood and 12 other passengers were near the islands of Angra dos Reis, south of Rio de Janeiro, when the boat caught fire. The quick thinking photo hounds in the following boat came Wood's rescue on the burning yacht. "Thank God for the paparazzi" Wood told newspapers, "Sometimes they save lives."
The yacht had suffered a mechanical failure, but reports were uncertain of the ultimate cause of the blaze. According to an MTV report, Wood and Keith Richards were visiting a Brazilian island owned by a friend prior to a Stones gig on April 11. Richards, however, was not aboard the yacht at the time. (Thank god, his skin is probably flammable.)

Discover how you can use the power of the U.S. government to increase your export sales
Ex-Im Bank's working capital guarantee gives lenders the confidence to extend short-term loans to small- and medium-size businesses for their export funding needs.
This product allows you to increase your export sales on payment terms by protecting you against nonpayment when you extend credit to your international buyers. You may also obtain financing for your foreign receivables by assigning your insurance policy.
Lenders often will not provide medium- and long-term financing to buyers in emerging markets. The political and commercial environments in many foreign markets translate into high risk for many lenders. Moreover, credit from in-country lenders is often unavailable or prohibitively expensive to buyers. Thus, without financing, a U.S. exporter will not be able to make the sale. Ex-Im Bank's medium- and long-term financing support fills this void and enables U.S. exporters to compete with confidence worldwide.
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) supports both the development of novel technologies and the subsequent translation of those technologies into applications for the benefit of public health. Congressional legislation mandates that the NIBIB "facilitate the transfer of technologies to medical applications."
Helps you assess your export readiness, understand what you need to know and consider before pursuing an international sales strategy, and, when you are ready, develop and implement your export strategy.

Active Listening Really Pays OffAugust 4, 2010 9:39 am | by by Lindsey Coblentz, Associate Editor, Food Manufacturing | Blogs | Comments
Chances are, you probably learned about active listening at some point during your schooling. Lean forward, make eye contact and nod to let the speaker know you're listening, right? I always thought these tips were silly because you could do all these things and still not be listening. However, these actions do accomplish one goal: They make the speaker think you're listening—even if you really aren't.

The Bionic CatAugust 4, 2010 7:17 am | Articles | Comments
Every once in a while, we hear about the revolutionary surgery doctors are performing on people who lose their limbs in an accident.

So what happens when a cat gets his hind legs severed by a combine harvester? A veterinarian takes a big risk to develop two bionic legs that allow the little guy to live out the rest of his days like any other cat.

Too expensive for normal people who need big storage capacity. I wonder in how many years SSDs will drop to the price of today's HDs and totally replace them. Probably too many :P
Phoronix: Intel X25-E Extreme SSD Benchmarks On Linux
In early January we had delivered Linux Solid-State Drive Benchmarks of an OCZ Core Series V2 SSD, which was a low-cost low-capacity single-cell drive. The increased performance and decreased power consumption compared to a 5400RPM Serial ATA 2.0 hard drive was nice for a netbook, but how are the higher-end solid-state drives performing? In this article, we have a high-performance Intel X25-E Extreme SSD on a System76 notebook running Ubuntu Linux.
Too expensive for normal people who need big storage capacity. I wonder in how many years SSDs will drop to the price of today's HDs and totally replace them. Probably too many :P
It didn't occur to you that the encoding benchmarks might be CPU-limited, as opposed to disk limited?
More to the point, you made no mention of the common issues surrounding SLC Flash SSDs: re-write speed. The performance of single-level cell flash, when re-writing, is hideous.
Uhhm... I'm pretty sure there's no way you were able to read from the drive with ~370 MB/s when Intel themselves advertises the read speed with 250 MB/s (that's almost the half! ). (refering to the IOzone 4GB Read Performance).
You are probably just writing to cache (at least partialy). I think you should look into possibilities to disable the cache if you want to accurately measure the SSD-performance.
Too many non-ssd related tests and thereby uninteresting graphs! What about running tests designed to expose some of the problems with today's ssd? I'm talking about OCZ's sucky IOPS and things like that..
This Intel SSD's supposedly do not suffer from the random writes problem most other SSD's seem to have; it would have been interesting to see some tests with this SSD vs HDD vs the other SSD that was tested some time ago to confirm/disprove that this SSD doesn't suffer from latency troubles.
Any chance of seeing boot times in the next test? Please
My main concern with the article is that the benchmarks are a bunch of compression and encryption tasks, followed by some synthetic tests. Hardly representative of "real world" stuff. Also, there was no mention of the proper things that need to be done to get maximum performance out of the drive, like aligning partitions and setting proper block sizes, among other things. Sure, the Intel drives don't suffer from the same "hesitation" as most of the lower-cost drives on the market, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't improve performance to set the drive up properly.
Another interesting thing would've been a discussion of filesystems that are geared directly to SSDs, but that was never mentioned either.
I have a request for another benchmark and that is boot times. Please consider this benchmark in future tests.

Linda Rondstadt Reveals Parkinson's Diagnosis
Monday, August 26, 2013
Linda Ronstadt has revealed that she is suffering from Parkinson's disease and first felt the effects of the illness eight years ago. Ronstadt, who's now 67, will release her autobiography, called, Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir, on September 17th, but doesn't address her battles with Parkinson's in the book. She came out with her diagnosis to AARP magazine, and spoke about how she first knew she was ill, recalling, "I couldn't sing and I couldn't figure out why. I knew it was mechanical. I knew it had to do with the muscles, but I thought it might have also had something to do with the tick disease that I had. And it didn't occur to me to go to a neurologist. . . Then I had a shoulder operation, so I thought that's why my hands were trembling."
Ronstadt, who now relies on poles to help her walk on uneven ground and travels with a wheelchair explained: "Parkinson's is very hard to diagnose, so when I finally went to a neurologist and he said, 'Oh, you have Parkinson's disease,' I was completely shocked. I wouldn't have suspected that in a million, billion years. . . No one can sing with Parkinson's disease, No matter how hard you try."
She has announced six personal appearances in support of her memoir, which will be available as a hardback, an e-book, and a six-CD unabridged audio read by the singer herself. As expected, Ronstadt will not be singing at any of the book appearances.
When we last caught up with Linda Ronstadt, she admitted to us that life on the road was always the least enjoyable part of her career: "My idea of a great week is when I don't set foot off my property. I really like to be at home, I've always been a homebody. I've never liked traveling; I've never liked performing. And it was just something that I had to do in order to get to the music. I always loved the music and I always wanted the music to get better and better, and I was thrilled to have success because it meant that I was able to get better musicians to work with. And that's the beginning and end of it. But I've never been comfortable on the stage and its not anything that I want to do."
Linda Ronstadt book appearances (subject to change):
September 18 - New York, NY - 92nd Street Y
September 19 - Brookline, MA - Coolidge Center
September 21, 22 - Washington DC - National Mall - Library of Congress National Book Festival
September 26 - San Francisco, CA - Nourse Theatre
October 7 - Beaverton, OR - Powell's Books

Highlights include...
Harrison Birtwitle: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra
Sir Harrison Birtwistle recently won the 'Orchestral' award for his Concerto for Violin & Orchestra at the 2012 British Composer Awards. Birtwistle's 'Concerto for Violin and Orchestra' was commissioned for Christian Tetzlaff by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It was first performed at Symphony Hall, Boston, Masachusetts by Tetzlaff and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Marcelo Lehninger.
Harrison Birtwitle: Oboe Quartet
Study score for oboe, violin, viola and cello.
Einojuhani Rautavaara: Manhattan Trilogy
This work in three movements was commissioned by The Juilliard School, New York, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary in 2005. It was first performed by the Juilliard Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in October that year. The movements are entitled 'Daydreams', 'Nightmares' and 'Dawn'.
Steve Reich: Mallet Quartet
Study score for 2 vibraphones and 2 marimbas.
Mallet Quartet was commissioned by the Amadinda Quartet in Budapest, on the occasion of its 25th Anniversary, by Nexus in Toronto, So Percussion in New York and Synergy Percussion in Australia. The world Premiere was given by the Amadinda Quartet in Bela Bartok National Concert Hall on December 6, 2009.
Mark-Anthony Turnage
Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra. Commissioned by the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and the BBC.
James MacMillan: Violin Concerto
Jointly commissioned by London Symphony Orchestra, The Philadelphia Orchestra and Ensemble orchestral de Paris. The works was composed in 2009. It was first performed on 12th May 2010 at Barbican Hall, London, by Vadim Repin (violin) and the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Valery Gergiev.
James MacMillan: Seraph
A seraph is a celestial being or angel, usually and traditionally associated with trumpets. MacMillan's "Seraph" is a concertino for trumpet and strings, in three short, contrasting movements, and a welcome addition to the instrument's concerto repertoire, following the same composer's "Epiclesis" (1993).
Benjamin Britten: A Charm of Lullabies
The work brings together an anthology of diverse texts unified by the themes of night and sleep and is one of the most genial and uncomplicated of Britten's song-cycles. Colin Matthews's arrangement differs in several respects from the original piano version, in particular by expanding it to give it the extra dimension needed for an orchestral song-cycle, and by joining the first three songs, and the fourth and fifth, in effect presenting the cycle in two parts.
Gerald Finzi: Works for Voice & Orchestra
Study score for voice and orchestra, featuring Two Sonnets, Op.12, Farewell to Arms, Op.9 & Let us Garlands Bring, Op.18.
Magnus Lindberg: Al Largo
Al Largo was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic (Alan Gilbert, Music Director), London Philharmonic Orchestra and Casa da Musica, Porto. Magnus Lindberg, Composer-in-Residence of the New York Philharmonic, 2009-2012.
Magnus Lindberg: Expo
EXPO was premiered in New York on 16th September 2009 to launch Magnus Lindberg's residency with the New York Philharmonic as well as Alan Gilbert's tenure as Music Director. The composer intended that the ten-minute piece "would be Alan Gilbert's 'expo' or introduction - a tribute to him and the orchestra at an historic moment".

allrealelements wrote:A ramyb design without a cute animal? Why don't we see any of these anymore? This is fantastic!!
If you browse through all of his derby entries on shirt.what you would see that MANY of his entries contain neither cute animals, nor "lifeless" images that he is always getting hounded for. Seriously, the only reason people ALWAYS notice the cute animals is those are the designs people vote for. I will put out a disclaimer, that I do not usually vote for cute animal designs, but he has a TON of different designs. It's just that the ones that always win, or place are usually the cute ones and no one ever notices the other ones.
Re: Listening to Who?
This is the only one I'm voting for, and I wish I had one hundred fake accounts to bolster the voting...but if I did that, I'd have to start entering the derbies and voting myself up.

About TASSIMO Cappuccinos
How to Make Cappuccino with Your TASSIMO
If you want a delicious coffee house quality cappuccino in the comfort of your own home or office, it's quick and easy with the TASSIMO cappuccino maker. First, you'll need to have espresso coffee T DISCs, the milk creamer T DISCs and a TASSIMO Brewer. While you'll find that the cappuccino T DISCs come in several varieties including TASSIMO decaf cappuccino, we also offer two types of foaming milk creamer for TASSIMO cappuccino including both regular and fat free options. Start the brewing process by preparing the steamed milk by inserting the foaming milk creamer T DISC into the TASSIMO cappuccino maker. Place an appropriate cup, like a Bormioli Mug, into the TASSIMO, press the button and you'll watch as the TASSIMO Brewer creates a perfect topping for your cappuccino. Afterward, brew the cappuccino espresso into your cup using the same process. The final step is to relax and enjoy as you now know how to make cappuccino with TASSIMO.
The Many Choices with TASSIMO
You'll find that the TASSIMO cappuccino maker distinguishes itself by offering an array of beverage choices. For those that appreciate a rich, flavorful cappuccino, Gevalia and Maxwell House T DISCs deliver rich and satisfying TASSIMO cappuccino. Each with their own unique flavors, you'll find that both versions of cappuccino are delicious. Additionally for cappuccino fans seeking a lower calorie option, each brand also offers their version of a fat free, skinny cappuccino. Delightfully creamy, each has 40% fewer calories than the regular TASSIMO cappuccino. Furthermore, for those that want to enjoy cappuccino in the later hours, TASSIMO decaf cappuccino is also available. Whatever your preference, you can choose from a delicious variety of TASSIMO cappuccinos.
Cappuccino: Perfect All Day Long
Italian tradition states that cappuccino is for breakfast and should not be consumed after 11 am. Thankfully Americans are not held to keep this tradition so TASSIMO cappuccino can be used all day long. Whether you're just starting your morning with a pick-me-up, or concluding your day by relaxing with a TASSIMO decaf cappuccino, you can enjoy a delicious beverage with just the touch of a button. What's more, you can choose from a variety of TASSIMO cappuccino T DISCs to enjoy your preferred flavors.
