"Left me laughing"
Funny, light-hearted
I think Ellen is very funny, and I thought her book was amusing. I don't know whether or not I'd "read" another, but it was good for the day I read it, with a 4-hour drive to and from Pennsylvania.
I think it's easy to understand why not everyone would like this book. It doesn't necessarily have meaning, or a plot, or many of the things books usually require. But I found it a quick, fun listen, something more exciting on my drive than just watching the trees go by listening to the same music I always hear.
"Thoughts From a Female Manager"
I would recommend this, depending on who the friend was. While I think the message is important for many people, I think that only certain people are really open to hearing it.
Sheryl was open and honest about her own shortcomings, which "gives permission" to other people to own up to their own difficulties. It is always easiest to admit there is a problem when other people have already admitted the same.
I think the message that Sheryl Sandberg is looking to get across is an important one. I think she has the opportunity to make some incredible headway helping women make changes to help themselves. Her honesty and openness are welcome in an arena that often shies away from being too honest.
"Good Science, Good Book"
This book offered me scientific proof of the recommendations without being over technical. I would listen again to get even more clarification of the concepts, and a better understanding, and to remind myself of the things I want to try. I bookmarked sections to refer back to later.
I don't know that it could have been more enjoyable. There was enough science to make it believable, and enough normal talk to make it "readable".
It would have been too much information for me to digest in all one sitting.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to understand more about the body's ability to deal with food. It is interesting to learn about, and more scientific than I would typically want to read but worth every minute.

New England Grows - tomorrow
ginger_nh(z4 NH)February 5, 2004
I'm going tomorrow and Sat. Quite a few excellent presenters, to my way of thinking. Snow and ice tomorrow -wonder if it will keep people away? Probably not, green industry people are a hardy lot. Last year there were thousands on the first day; more than they had ever had by a long shot.
This is the last year at the Hynes Convention Center - moving to the larger Bayside Expo Center in 2005. The business is growing.

Shake Spot
Does anyone know how much this will be? We usually get the bubbles card but my son thinks he would like this:
Shake Spot serves milkshakes and floats as well as tropical fruit shakes and "adult" shakes made with Grand Marnier, Cointreau and other liqueurs. All are available with a variety of fun toppings. There's even an all-inclusive Shake Lover's Package."
which ship are you taking that has a shake spot? Do they have a card plan for the cruise for it?
Anyway - you can see the menu here:
very nice post
Menu looks good...I don't recall seeing this on any Carnival ship as yet.
Only on Carnival Sunshine. There is a Buy 6 get 1 free card
And Daily Specials
I think the first time I saw the price, all I could think of is I could buy 3 "half gallons" of ice cream for that price, or for the use of a blender, ice cream and milk on board a CCL cruise ship is still free.
Where's my Magic Bullet?

The Sunshine is supposed to have it :) And looks like you will see in November:)
I hope it goes fleet wide by December!

A Decade of Blogging
That's not to say this blog hasn't been nearly out for the count. Problems with Internet Explorer (I now use a version of Chrome) and another blog where I write about politics have made this blog more dormant than I wold have liked.
I'm a sentimental person at heart, and the fact that this blog has been around before I had a "real job, before my mother was sick and before I had any idea if I could even strike out on my own means something.
The first day of the blog, I wrote about the end of Gillete's Supermarket. That was followed by the end of Jim Gillette and the razing of the building for an Oneida Savings Bank. The Copycat snack stand was sold and it now Samz Eats and Sweets with substantially the same menu. I also wrote about the bitter cold and massive snowfall that month. It's been cold, but not quite as snowy. After a decade, so much for global "warming." The climate hasn't changed much at all.
Does Rome, NY still suck? Unfortunately, it does. So does most of New York State. Except for the hospital, this city is, however, about as good as anywhere else nearby. I have passed up McDonalds and Subway for local fare like Mazzaferro's and The Garage. Stay or move on. For now, I'm staying.

What You Can Expect
You'll continue on to the green mountains of Wicklow County, where you'll stop for morning tea (additional cost) at Avoca Handweavers. The oldest wool mill in Ireland, Avoca Handweavers is a great place to shop for high-quality Irish crafts.
The next stop on your Wicklow tour in Glendalough, in Wicklow Mountains National Park. Glendalough is renowned for its natural beauty and history, and is one of the most visited places in Ireland.
At Glendalough, your guide will walk with you through the 6th-century monastic settlement. You'll learn about St Kevin, the founder of the ancient monastery, and hear stories relating to the ruins scattered about the site, including the famous Round Tower. There will also be time for a leisurely stroll through the woods to Upper Lake.
Leaving the peace and serenity of Glendalough behind, you'll head off for a stop at a local pub for lunch (additional cost). Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and good old-fashioned home cooking of a traditional Irish pub. Why not wash lunch down with a hearty pint of Guinness?
After lunch you'll begin your return to Dublin, via Sally's Gap, where scenes from Braveheart were filmed in 1995. This scenic but desolate area of wild bogland offers a stunning contrast to the Wicklow Mountains.
You'll arrive back in Dublin in the late afternoon, with drop-off either in Ballsbridge (D4) or at Trinity College.
Customer Reviews
March 2015
We're just back to Malta from Dublin and we are already missing it - especially the Wild Wicklow tour which was complemented by our excellent driver/tour leader John! He knows the ins and outs of Wicklow and also took us to a great restaurant and shopping centre. We would definitely recommend this tour .. but make sure to ask for John as your tour leader!!
March 2015
First, I must say that our tour was made amazing because of our tour guide, John. He was an absolute delight and we are still talking about him almost 2 weeks later! We almost missed our bus because we were told to wait for the bus on the wrong side of the street, so when we saw the tour bus coming from the other side of the street, we had to dart through traffic flailing our arms at the driver John. John flailed his arms back at us, acknowledging that he saw us. I am so happy we did not miss this tour! While it was quite a rainy day, it was still one of my favourite and most memorable days. John was super accommodating and changed the tour around to suit the weather better. John was also the most interactive tour guide I have ever met. He not only was very knowledgable, but he was also very interested in getting to know the people on his tour. We had a lovely photo session with him at the end! While the Wicklow Mountains are beautiful and a must-see while in Ireland, John was certainly the star of the show! Give this guy a raise! John is clearly passionate about the Wicklow Mountains and is most definitely a people-person. This tour will be talked about for years, John being the main attraction!

Information Management
The Homeland Security Department's five-month-old Office of Biometric Identity Management will use a $33 million contract with Accenture to expand its international data sharing capabilities and widen its secure Web services.
OBIM, which provides biometric identification services for federal, state and local governments, ramped up operations under DHS's National Protection and Programs Directorate in late March. Along with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, OBIM took up the duties previously performed under the U.S. Visitor and Immigration Status Indicator Technology program. US VISIT's overstay analysis functions were moved to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and its entry/exit policy and operations were moved under Customs and Border Protection.
OBIM Deputy Director Shonnie Lyon told a House Homeland Security subcommittee in May that her agency is focused on improving biometric and biographic data sharing with the Departments of Defense, Justice, and State by increased interoperability. By storing, matching, and analyzing biometric data, linked to biographic information, OBIM provides actionable information on immigration violators, criminals and known or suspected terrorists, she said.
DHS's nine-month contract with Accenture Federal Services is aimed at decreasing the time, cost and personnel required to support data sharing among the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada and Australia, the company said.
The contract will expand use of secure Web services for all stakeholders, allowing easier and more cost-effective access to OBIM data, said Accenture. Development of "reusable services," said the company, has allowed OBIM to decrease time and costs for new-user access to the system from nine months to three weeks.

"Rubalcaravan" Part Two
- January 7th, 2011
- Write comment
Rubalcaba is a Cuban citizen, travels on a Cuban passport, visits Cuba frequently. As such, his activities in the States have been proscribed by our legislated commercial blockade of the island, though he's found some ways around those bounds. In fact outside of those who've defected, no other single Cuban musician has enjoyed Rubalcaba's high profile and privileges here – at least not since lrakere's triumphs during Jimmy Carter's presidency Now, after five years of Cuban-government-approved residency in the Dominican Republic, Rubalcaba recently has been permitted to retain his Cuban citizenship while moving his family (including two children) to a home outside Miami. Miami! The pianist's first professional engagements in that city; just two years ago, resulted in bomb threats. Miami is home to some exiles and extremists who resent anyone who does not denounce Cuba's four-decade-old revolution, especially artists who might be construed to be celebrating it. But Rubalcaba is 34, and Castro's Cuba is the only one he's ever known. Chatting before an evening's gig at NewYork's Iridium with his U.S.based touring trio (bassist David Finck and drummer Ignacio Berroa), the trim, dark pianist reflects on his experience. "The level of social and political confrontation of Cuban musicians in Florida is more intense than anywhere else in the country However; my concern is not about acceptance by Cubans. I believe my reception should have more to do with my professional stance than my political stance," That's generally been the case: Rubalcaba's musical reputation in the U.S. has been established primarily through albums issued and promoted by American Blue Note, Although to circumvent prohibitions against the transfer of hard currency to Cubans, the productions have originated with and been leased from Japanese firms. This situation has resulted in some career anomalies: Rubalcaba's most recent recording, a complicated work titled Antigua, is currently out on japanese Toshiba/EMI. But in American record bins, his newest release is the more casual Flying Colors, a series of duets with all-American sax hero joe Lovano, produced by Lovano directly for Blue Note. "I feel each CD release is a reflection ofwhere Iam personally and professionally," Rubalcaba explains, with the air of being slightly miffed. "Antigua features my Cuban quartet with many guests from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and it was recorded in Havana, Germany; Santo Domingo, and NewYork over two years. A huge project, an ample musical proposal, involving many different persons and a lot of my writing." Antigua is an ambitious effort, arguably a concerto, that confounds expectations and categorizations. Flying Colors is, by contrast playfully spontaneous, sometimes moving and intimate, but not a self-conscious state-ment or result of arduous labors. On it, Lovano and Rubalcaba skip from standards by Irving Berlin, Monk, and Ornette to their own original tunes to free-jazz forays, enhancing each other's expressions as they go. "Joe Lovano and I recorded last January, in one day-long session in New York" Rubalcaba says, He's proud enough of their pairing. 'The most important thing about Joe Lovano, amongst the whole wave of musicians who've cropped up in the last 15 years," he says, "is that he's knowledgeable about jazz from a historical point of view, but he's found his own proper voice, an inner voice. As collaborators, Lovano and I share certain preoccupations with bnnging back aspects ofthe music of the past, and that's why we've come together as we have. We share a sense of responsibility perhaps devotion, to maintaining and building upon certain styles, discovering new ways to expand upon their fundamentals:' "The thing about Gonzalo that's so beautiful:' Lovano points out, "is, sure, he's a virtuoso, but he's also a really sensitive player who doesn't fall in anyone bag. I've never felt for a second that he's forced me to play over a groove or a vamp, or laid out anything and said, There, just play over it.' More than the tunes we play, it's the way we've played together; our communication, our freedom within the beat, and the concept of trying to shape the music and create each tune that makes what we do happen." Of course, they're well-matched: Lovano is from a firmly rooted musical Cleveland family. He trained on-the-job, polished his skills at Berklee, and tested himself for two decades in crucibles of jazz, professionalism. A voracious instrumentalist, Lovano comes off as a hearty neighborhood guy, typically prevailing with bop-to-Tranebased bluesy and urbane songs. His great strengths are outgoing forthrightness, warmth, energy, and conviction. In comparison, Rubalcaba's jazz background is less pronounced than his bold command of European classical traditions (particularly late Romanticism) and his seemingly intuitive grasp of specifically Cuban forms. Indeed, he exudes Afro-Cubanismo, and almost immediately upon taking a seat at the piano will summon up melodic conceits as wide and deep as the ocean, aswirl with harmonic complexities and raging crosscurrents of polyrhythmic swing. Although often propulsive and indelibly Latin, Rubalcaba's sound is less confined than ennobled by its Cuban sources. His is an expansive music for listening, and listening is one of his best skills that's demonstrated by the connections he forged with American-born jazzmen including Dizzy Gillespie and Ron Carter. "I'm beginning to work with a lot of different musicians," he says,'"which has advantages and disadvantages. These increased contacts have helped me grow musically; but at the same time, they've introduced irregularities that don't exist within a steady band or group or collective. I'd like to establish more stability soon." He retains ties to his longtime Cuban band members, but trumpeter Reynaldo Melian still lives in Cuba, and drummer Julio Barreto has been touring with Roy Hargrove's Crisol. During his youth, Rubalcaba knew his current drummer, Ignacio Berroa, as a Havana session star: "Ignacio is a great musician: he plays very well straightahead and, at the same time, knows the Cuban music perfectly. Does it help if my accompanists know Cuban music? That depends on the capacity of each musician as a person. The problem is not that of nationality as much as talent and creativity. Ignacio is Cuban, yes, and we have very good communication onstage, But I also have good communication with David Finck, who is American, with John Pattitucci. Lewis Nash, Jack Dejohnette, Charlie Haden, Joe Lovano, and many others." He laughs, as if astonished, at the current explosion of Cuban music. "There certainly are right now more productions by Cuban musicians and recognition of the talents of Cuban musicians in the US. than before, a more relaxed attrtude toward the consumption of Cuban music than ever in my lifetime. There seems to be less fear, and so less control, over the way Cuban music is disseminated in this country. That affects the consumption and appreciation of music from Cuba, surely But I don't think I've played a big part in this. I am just a small grain in the appreciation of Cuban music, and each Cuban musician who's come here has contributed to the greater appreciation of that music." And what about the downsides of his relocation? "Every move you make that's in contradiction to the way you grew up causes a certain feeling of displacement;' Rubalcaba allows. "I believe the most difficult thing is to maintain the culture and the morals with which you're raised and, at the same time, assimilate or understand the traditions of the country you've come to. Even if you're not submersed in each and every aspect of this place you've come to live in, it's a good idea to try to understand."
Rubalcaba's education in the ways of the United States has been swift. Discussing the music business, Gonzalo sounds like a native jazzman: "Living in the States has accelerated the immediate responsibility I have with advancing my music," he sighs."I have a much more direct relationship now with the promotion and marketing of my music. That's the worst part of my work now. "The best part is to play – and there's no comparison. But I believe I have to work within that system. And I also think, if I don't import some of my own conditions, the system could envelop me. Ithink it's very important that every musician have a program as to how to deal WITh their music and, most of all, to keep sight ofthe music's creative concept." Wasn't that true, too, in Cuba? He shrugs. "There are certain things in my life that haven't changed and that probably will never change, For me, thinking about how to compose – which ideas to expand, which to discard – those kinds of thoughts go on constantly; wherever I'm on tour; wherever I'm at home. That part of the creative process must always take place." Maybe the obligations of creativity take precedence over an artist's nationality. Rubalcaba seems relieved by the suggestion. "What makes me most happy" he says, "is what I'm working on professionally, musically Within this terrain, I encounter all my ideology, all my beliefs, all my perceptions. It's this professional terrain that I've dedicated my life to, So, I have more and closer contact with America now? Am I the same player as before I moved here? I hope that every day I'm a different player:"

It's not just his speed, it's his touch … It's not just his touch, it's his ideas"
By MARTY HUGHLEY The Oregonian staff
The last time that Joe Pass, the late, great jazz guitarist, played in Portland, several years ago, he made a joke between songs. He imagined; he said a magnificent concert with some of the most accomplished musicians of our time: Andres Segovia, Itzhak Perlman, Vladimir Horowitz, etc. After the concert, all the musicians stay at the same hotel, then meet again in the morning. Over breakfast, they say to each other admiringly, "Man, you really played fast last night" Pass' point was that speed itself isn't a musical value, merely a technical consideration." Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba can play very fast and while his remarkable facility has been much noted, many critics have seemed suspicious of it . In his Saturday night solo performance at the Aladdin Theatre, Rubalcaba proved right off the bat that he's no mere speed demon. Opening with a slow, ruminative ballad, he displayed a variety of other gifts – a strong yet refined touch that coaxed marvelous tone from the Steinway grand piano, a sensitivity to space that led him to let certain notes linger till the edge of their resonance before softly laying the next phrase over them, a romantic warmth working hand-in hand (so to speak) with an intellectual vigor. He picked up the pace in his second selection, improvising a minute or more of introduction to what turned out to be Thelonious Monk's "Well You Needn't" He never did state the melody in full. Rather, he took snippets of the song's jauntily angular theme and extrapolated from them in varying directions substituting chords, re-contextuallizing a few notes at a time, probing the rhythmic possibilities implied in Monk's catawampus phrasing. It was as if a jeweler were to take a single diamond necklace and remake the materials into a store full of rings, pendants, brooches and bracelets. " Speed can be put in service of musicality, of course, as Rubalcaba showed in a dazzling version of George Gershwin's "Fascinatin' Rhythm." At one point, Rubalcaba splashed imaginative bass chords with his left while his right hand executed a rapid. repeated figure for what seemed like an eternity; it almQst made the muscles Qn the top of your hand ache just from watching it. Rubalcaba played two sets, each slightly less than an hour long. At intermission, the crowd of approximately 350 fans was abuzz, likening his skills to Canadian classical virtuouso Glenn Gould and avant-garde master Cecil Taylor. "It's not just his speed, it's his touch," one person said. "It's not just his touch, it's his ideas," countered another. And indeed, Rubalcaba's ideas rhythmic, harmonic and especially melodic – held together even at his sometimes breakneck pace of exposition. His store of different approaches, fingerings, stylistic references, etc. – seems inexhaustible, yet he always made graceful, unhurried transitions between them, never seeming to be just grabbing at whatever came to mind. His playing also displayed considerable wit at time, something not always evident when he work in group settings. Several standing ovations ended the night. And Rubalcaba fans now hope the speediest thing, about him will be his return.
Fire and energy reunite in an explosion that expands light and silences sound …for an instant. melodic glimmers emanate from this nebula with just one star: Gonzalo Rubalcaba is the master of his own cosmos, although he belongs to a galaxy of great musical constellations. The musician whose father, Guillermo Rubalcaba, helped introduce the world to the cha-cha-cha, and whose grandfather, Jacobo Gonzalez Rubalcaba, composed the famous"El Cadete (The Cadet)," has not let the light of his rising comet go dim. His most recent production, Supernova; won the Latin Grammy for the best Latin jazz album of 2002. His collaboration with Charlie Haden in Nocturne, which also won a Grammy this year, is praiseworthy as well. With classic training, this Cuban pianist and composer took an early turn toward jazz, and from that moment, his career has continued to ascend.
"Supernova" is another step forward ," said Rubalcaba in a recent telephone interview with Adelante. Because without moving forward, he added, "it's like standing still in time. In the twenty years that Rubalcaba has created his sound, he has expanded the musical firmament. This piano virtuoso continues to sound the enduringly rich depths of the music of his fatherland. "Cuban music continues to need formal spaces, and not in a way that's cliche," he observed. Convinced that music is neither created nor invented, but restructured and evolved, Rubalcaba took the hits of yesteryear - the beloved "Alma Mia (My soul)" of Maria Grever, the unforgettable "El Manicero (The Peanut Vendor)" and the unequaled "EI Cadete," – and sent them into a fresh orbit. His sparkle· poesn't hide behind the incandescence of these classic stars, however, but proceeds from a unique source with its own light resulting·in a synergy between the genius of the past and the present. "The challenge of taking things on again that have already passed their peak, is to seek.a reason for keeping them alive," he explained. This reason, which Rubalcaba has managed to balance with a precise dexterity, dwells in the symbiosis between the knowledge of yesterday a the exploration of tomorrow. To revolve around the richness of Cuban and Latin American rhythms. and return to a classical axis, forms Rubalcaba's universal style. And that's because it is a minimalist musical expression given that the essence of minimalism is not the scarcity of details and decorations, but the abundance of space. Rubalcaba provides this space, enough to ponder and to set afloat in the periphery of our consciousness. The whisper and the explosion of the keys exquisitely move one toward the insomnia of the subconscious. Columbia will form part of this exploration when Rubalcaba lights up the spirits, stands time still and explodes in a carnival of melody on Dec. 5, in an event organized by the "We Always Swing" Jazz Series in an annual fundraising concert dedicated to the late Dr. Carlos Perez-Mesa, a tireless collaborator with the series. "All the places where one finds oneself contain a mystery, Rubalcaba observed, with respect to his imminent visit to Columbia. "One never knows what will happen." Meanwhile, Rubalcaba's phosphorescence will continue to live as long as this vital star continues to rise with each new day. "May the music awaken, just as I awaken every day," he concluded
Make no mistake: few jazz pianists, today, or at any earlier time, could hold a candle to the brilliant Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba's gigantic virtuosity. But, speaking from his home in Florida, the soft-spoken, thoughtful pianist says that he wishes critics would not be so fixated on that aspect of his playing. Jazz fans, he notes, have welcomed his music. "There have been many people supporting what I'm doing, people in connection with my career, looking for the next album, the next step," he says. Their reaction, in his estimation from the bandstands and stages, has been to his music, in all its facets. "But on the professional side, with writers and critics – this is not true of everybody – but part of that professional side is that they've been insisting too much – this is my opinion – there has been too much emphasis on virtuosity, which is just part of my personality or my training or my development. It is not everything." "It's a delicate point," he continues, "because there are a lot of people who really believe what the critics say, people who have the chance to see a bigger spectrum, not only about myself, but about musicians, in general. The references that people get from critics and writers have been very limited." He wishes critics would better explicate his music in part because that might put it in better cultural context, he says. That cause was not helped, he says, by the attention that was given in the early 1990s to the outstanding Cuban musicians who were marketed as the Buena Vista Social Club. Says Rubalcaba: "We had to clarify to people that this is not the only side of Cuban music of the last 30 to 40 years. We're talking about a moment – those musicians used to be famous in Cuba in the '40s and '50s." Don't get him wrong, he says. "I respect them a lot. 1know a lot of them, I learned from them since I was a teenager in Cuba. Many are friends of my family, especially of my father" (Guillermo, a well-known pianist, too). "But we have to say that they are not part of the contemporary life in Cuba, right now. "So, I see some disconnection in the last 40-50 years of the real evolution of Cuban music, in terms of what people outside of Cuba know about the music in Cuba. "The point is that sometimes when that audience followed Buena Vista and other popular things that became popular outside ofCuba, they don't find any connection with what you [as in, musicians like him] do with Cuba. Sometimes they think you're not even Cuban."
One element of his music that both critics and audiences can miss, due to this lack of context, he says, is its spirituality. "I was influenced by a lot of Cuban folklore and all the music uses it in rituals. Everything in connection with AfroCuban music is totally in connection with AfroCuban religion." Folklore and other religion-linked cultural forms "are things I have been listening to since I was a little kid," he says. "When I went to school - and at home also – I heard all kinds of popular music to dance to. And finally, I discovered jazz music" He says: "Those were the platforms, the first references that I had as a human being, in my life." He suspects that it was much easier for Americans to relate to Cuba before the Revolution, and the U.S. embargo. Then, cultural commerce between Cuba and the U.S. was extensive. Thanks to that, jazz was well-known in Cuba during Rubalcaba's childhood. He became keen on it at about the age of 12, he recalls. "At home we had some old recordings of Gene Krupa, Benny Goodman, Bud Powell, and Erroll Garner. Cuba has been in contact with jazz for a long time. Many Cuban musicians have been involved in a relationship with that musical idiom." As a young man, he recalls, he avidly followed such players' careers, and attended their performances. "A few people around me at school, older than me, were already improvising. And I found out that it was the perfect musical space to do some stuff with total freedom. I was very motivated by this." At music school, he was thoroughly trained in many aspects of popular and Classical music. He possessed, already, the rhythmic command that is such a huge part of the Cuban musical ethos. That, thanks to early studies in both drums and piano. "Everyone involved in music should know a little bit about rhythm," he suggests. At classical school, they force the students as part of the program to get piano as a complementary instrument. It should be the same with the percussion or rhythm stuff, because it definitely gives musicians more independence not only to know about harmonies, or phrases, or whatever. It's also good to get into the rhythmic, complex conception, and I had that opportunity, and I think I brought that to my music, to my composing. "As a piano player, I feel totally in connection with what is happening in the rhythm part of the band, especially because I was a drummer." On the drums, "you have to use your whole body to play," he says. "The piano is also an instrument where you have to have good concentration in different lines, in different things at the same time, your arms, your legs… It's like a small orchestra. You have to combine everything, taking into consideration accent, dynamics, everything." And of course, he adds, "the piano is in some ways part of the percussion family. So we are not talking about two instruments that are far away from each other."
Rubalcaba left Cuba in 1990, settling first in the Dominican Republic, then in Coral Springs, Florida, in 1996. His arrival in the U.S. was not free of contention. "There was some political reaction from a few Cuban people, part of the Cuban community. They reacted because they speculated about my leaving Cuba, saying I was in connection with the Cuban government, whatever. All kinds of crazy stuff that they used to say." Despite that, he says, his memories of coming to the U.S. are happy ones. "I had a very warm reception from the American audiences, and that included from some Latin people in the audiences, too." From musicians, too. "That was the beginning of my close relationship with people like Herbie [Hancock], Chick Corea, Paul Motian, Ron Carter, and there were many others. I was in touch already with Charlie Haden, since the first time he went to Cuba. Also Dizzy Gillespie, when we went to Cuba in 1994. People like Joe Lovano, too. I have a great memory about that." Naturally, he misses Cuba. "We're talking socially about two different countries," he says. "The politics and the economy and social structure in Cuba are totally different from what we experience here in the United States." But Cuba is different from the whole rest of the world, he says. "I'm not saying that the way people live there is good or bad. It's just different, with some positive stuff, and many things that never became what people in Cuba believed in at the beginning of the revolution." There are "points that should be analyzed and changed," he diplomatically notes. As a Cuban I would definitely like to see Cuban people have more opportunity to decide, simple things, to decide at any moment that you want to go to Cuba. You could decide to take a plane and go there. This is something that is very simple, but we cannot practice it in that way." That is a crucial matter, he says, "because we have family there; our roots are there: we were born there. I think this is not even a privilege; it's a right." But, he says, "this is just a side of the big complex Cuban problem. It makes you sometimes feel frustrated, to feel unable to make decisions about your own life as a Cuban." He foresees a time when relations will be normalized. Then, the most important renewed exchange, he believes, will be cultural – artistic. "This is something that we have lost, unfortunately. And it's probably the most important side"

No musical attraction of the weekend drew a more distinguished audience than the Cuban jazz pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba,
who appeared at the Regattabar with bassist Ron Carter. Among the interested listeners on various nights were jazz historian and musical polymath Gunther Schuller, pianists Andrew Rangell, Russell Sherman, and a host of Sherman's students; Christopher Lydon, pianophile and host of WBHR's "The Connection"; Pops conductor laureate John Williams; and BSO music director Seiji Ozawa. This listener will leave praise and analysis of Rubalcaba's jazz' invention to better-qualified commentators (including Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Haden) – he is fully aware that the admiration of people from the world of classical music is the kiss of death to people active in or interested in jazz. But it is nevertheless necessary to report that Rubalcaba stands in the company of the great pianists active today in any genre of music-making. Rubalcaba's numerous recordings document dazzling speed, accuracy, alacrity of attack, and variety of touch – "it has to be the product," Sherman observes, "of thousands upon thousands of hours practicing the exercises of Czemy and Hanon." Saturday night at the Regattabar we heard a little of that virtuosity – some octaves, repeated notes, trills, and keyboard-spanning passagework that would convey as much in Liszt or Chopin as they did in Rubalcaba's jazz playing. His fleshy fingers have to work to produce a harsh, driving sound, but he can create one when he wants to; he also boasts a singing legato that he creates with his touch, not with the pedal- he employs finger substitution even more than an organist would.
Saturday's quite in-drawing set with Carter also revealed another quality, something unique in this listener's experience of pianists. There is a quality in singing as rare as it is highly prized – "les larmes dans la voix," the French call it, "tears in the voice." Claudia Muzio had it, and the young Pavarotti, and, perhaps above all others, Callas, in the second act of "Traviata" 0r the final scene of "Norma." It is not a quality that one ever expected to hear from a piano or a pianist, but one heard it, felt it re-peatedly in Rubalcaba's playing as it delivered its message from heart to heart.
Gonzalo Rubalcaba, an outstanding young jazz pianist, has recently begun to incorporate some characteristics ofhis Cuban roots into his otherwise pure jazz stylings. Jazz, born in America early in the century, has become an international language by the century's end as artists from other cultures infuse this language with qualities and rhythms that reflect diverse backgrounds.
Gonzalo Rubalcaba
(Blue Note)
Over the course of his two decades in the jazz swim, consummate Cuban-born pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba has pursued multiple directions and projects, in sync with his restless muse. With his latest, Rubalcaba has assembled a solid band of NYC players – including saxist Yosvany Terry (also of Cuban heritage), trumpeter Mike Rodriguez, bassist Matt Brewer, and volcanic drummer Marcus Gilmore – and thrown them into the artistic fray with minimal rehearsal and preparation. Taking his album title from the renowned NYC studio, the leader is clearly celebrating a New York state of mind and musical intensity, with much to admire in the end result.
From the first minute of the recordings through his solo piano musings opening "Looking in Retrospective," we're reminded of his remarkable – even classic? – solo album. But once the band enters the sonic picture, it's clear that Rubalcaba is embarking on new turf this time, with less of a direct link to his Cuban roots than in earlier ensembles, and with rhythmic assertions reminiscent of such models as Chick Corea's acoustic bands, the late period Tony Williams quintet work, and M-BASE math funk.
A team player and symbiosis-seeking leader, Rubalcaba himself keeps a fairly humble, integrated role in the band. Terry supplies a few of the tunes, including the snaky-yet-swinging odd-time excursions of "This Is It" and "Hip Side." Rubalcaba's brisk original "Infantil," dedicated to John McLaughlin, gives the pianist a ripe forum for his probity and crystal brilliance at the keyboard. Virtuosic flights aside, though, it may be his burnished reading of Horace Silver's haunting ballad "Peace" that best illustrates how Rubalcaba has evolved and matured over the years. Here is one deep, and deepening, player, now settled in the uppermost ranks of living jazz pianists.

In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security. Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002

Blackhills spruce or white spruce
ryan_z3(Z3 MB)October 7, 2012
I just moved 60 spruce trees but i am trying to determine if they are just the standard White Spruce or the slower growing Blackhills Spruce? are there any characteristics to distinguish the two?
buckeye15(No OH)
Black Hills Spruce is a regional variation of White Spruce (Picea glauca). Commercially available Black Hills Spruce are nothing more than seedlings grown from forms with better blue color than traditional P. glauca. I have seen large nursery blocks of trees labeled as Black Hills with substantial variation....from trees that were indistinguishable from regular P. glauca to trees that are so blue they rival the best grafted Colorado Blue Spruce.

Tensions have increased in Nevada after armed citizens from several different militia organizations arrived on the ranch of Cliven Bundy to support the besieged rancher.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The ranch, just 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, has been the site of a land dispute two decades in the making. The standoff between hundreds of federal agents from the Bureau of Land Management and FBI and the Bundy family and supporters occurred after the agents went to confiscate 1,000 heads of cattle as part of a court order.
In 1998 the Bureau of Land Management designated 186,909 acres of the Gold Butte area, Bundy's ranch, as critical for the survival of a local desert tortoise. Despite holding onto that land for generations, Bundy lost the grazing permit. The Bureau of Land Management claims that Bundy owes around $1 million in fees, but the family contends that they only owe $300,000.
A scuffle occurred on April 9, where Bundy's son was shot with a stun gun which was recorded on camera, while his daughter was apparently beaten before the footage was taken.
The Bureau of Land Management says that the situation only deteriorated to violence when a protestor kicked a K-9 unit officer.
Later that day three militia members arrived, two from Montana, and one from Utah. Other groups have pledged to muster at the site, with the goal to protect the Bundys from the federal government's actions. They claim they are prepared to fight, but insist that they won't instigate it.
Ryan Payne, a member of the West Mountain Rangers, made the trek from western Montana, and also a coordinator with Operation Mutual Aid, a coalition of national militias, says that his organization is getting ready to aid the Bundys.
They tell me they are in the process of mobilizing as we speak," he said.

Artificial light or south window?
Apologies to those who read this post in "Herbs" forum. I have basil, dill, sage, oregano and savory plantlets growing under 80 watts of fluorescent light. When I tranplant from seedling tray to pots, should I keep them permanently under the 80 watts (possibly adding more light) or put them in my south window? (Live in an apartment, so they won't be going into a garden or outdoors) Thanks for any suggestions.
Thanks, mkiker, I posted this in the "Herbs" forum and the general consensus was to put them in sun. But after reading your post, I think I will leave some plantlets under the 80 watts along with some African Violets and see what happens...can always move them if they start to elongate. Thanks for the response.
30W, 80W, makes no difference. It is the intensity of the light that matters. 30W concentrated onto a 6"x6" area is enough to burn many plants, 80W spread over a three foot square growing area is completely inadequate to grow anything.
In any case, your lights will never match the intensity of direct sunlight. If you have enough sun then you should use it, your herbs will grow better and taste better.
Artificial lights work well for initial seed or cutting raising where you can provide a steady light level for long periods. Also for low light plants like African Violets which you obviously wouldn't want in the noon sun.
Sunlight is seen as free light and is stronger than most artificial light sources. That's why most people recommend the sun. To me however I don't like sunlight because it isn't free at all when you consider the extra cooling required to combat the infra red pollution. That's why I made the hard line choice that if it doesn't grown under artificial light it gets thrown away.
One thing to consider, which may be why the herbs people said sun, is that some herbs are said to taste better under certain growing conditions. They need to grow steady, but not too fast and they need good light to produce the flavor oils. In theory the lower light might help because it may slow their growth a little making them more flavorful than full sun which would allow rapid growth. I say in theory because I don't know for sure.
mkiker, I'm not planning to use the herbs for culinary purposes, so perhaps I don't need sun?? Shrubs, I didn't know that the area served by the light was a factor when using light to grow (first time with seedlings and lights). I think what I will do is leave a few plantlets in the south window and a few under lights and make adjustments as needed. Thanks again!!

easy plant stand idea -styrofoam/concrete
This plant stand/ table/ whatever came out great. It was easy, cheap, fast.
size: 12 by 18 and 26 inches tall
weight: 23 pounds - easy to grab and move but feels substantial
how to make:
1. pile up free styrofoam to make a solid rectangle. stab a few long wooden skewers through it to hold the shape- trim with a drywall saw or knife if needed.
2. using fiberglass mesh (EIFS) and quickwall (or any concrete with fibers), smooth on a thin layer (1/4 inch) of concrete over the mesh.... rubbing with your palm to force the crete thru the mesh onto the styrofoam base. You need to overlap the mesh everywhere like you would if you were papermacheing something.
3. mist and cover with plastic - wait a few hours and turn and repeat til entire styrofoam form is covered (top, bottom, sides) - let cure under plastic 24 hours
4. see what you think. If it seems to need another layer - repeat steps 2 and 3 above and cure some more. The one I made has 2 layers.
5. paint/stain/ cover with hypertufa..... whatever you want.
This feels very solid - I had no qualms about asking Lisa (she was helping me tile a floor) to jump up on it and show how strong it is. Sitting on it is actually surprisingly comfortable and I find myself using it most often for a table next to a chair. Since it is a solid styrofoam piece to begin with, it isn't going to collapse with everyday use. I figure the way it would "fail" would be for the concrete exterior to crack and pop off but that doesn't seem likely with the tests I have given it so far.
Here are some photos- thanks to Lisa for being the model!
The second plant stand is larger and made a completely different way. more later about that one.
click photos to enlarge
You are full of ideas!!Are you like me in that you stare off into space,seemingly disconnected from all around you,when you're actually just thinking about your next project?And,your family and your friends are thinking about committing you?Has that happened to you?Not yet,you say?Wait for it...
Meanwhile,a quick question.Do you ,when you're doubling your layers,always add mesh to the second layer?I haven't done so with the balls,although I'm tempted to do so.I found that they were quite strong enough,and they won't be load-bearing except for a few gallons of water.For me,and I just did this on the last ball,was to reinforce the opening area with a little extra mesh for strength there.Moving the balls(we're making a stretcher/cradle to move them)seems to be the only time that strength is needed.
Cheers from here
heck, Rick - I come from a family where staring off into space seemingly disconnected from all around you while thinking strange things is the norm. We think everyone else should be committed!
Now that you mention it though, people do keep making comments that show they think it is time I sold some of my projects. They seem to fear I am overdoing the concrete creations in my yard/home/life. silly them.
In answer to your other question - I never know whether I will add a second layer of mesh or not. If it "feels" strong enough ( I think I peck on the side like I was buying a watermelon ???) I might just add more concrete and no more mesh or just not add anything more. If I fear the whole thing will collapse I add more mesh. not very scientific. On the larger balls I guess I have always done 2 layers of mesh.
Neat idea with the cradle-moving balls idea. Time for your wife to get out the camera again soon!
Nice stands! You've got the comfortable aged look down to a science. Great texture. Good use of styrofoam too! Keep it out of the landfills.
I made something similar to this once (the same basic shape), it was suppose to be a winter waterting hole for the 'lil birds, complete with heating element. After staring at it for one long cold winter (and nary a bird landing on it) I started calling it 'the thing'. This spring I took a sledge hammer to it... very rewarding. At least I can reuse the styro!
I love the plant stands and the whole styro idea.This should work for all kind of shapes.Thanks for sharing another great idea.Looks great against the wall. Do not listen to any one who tells you to sell your stuff, you can never have too much. lol.
Garden chicken- what silly birds you must have in your region - what is not to like about a personal heated pool/watering hole made by loving hands???
I can just see you taking a sledgehammer to the thing. hehehe. I can see how that might be very satisfying.
Nathanhurst - good idea - I will try that next time
Cindy/ Dena - Thanks for the support! I will endeavor to fill every spare spot in the yard and house! wheeee.
Andrea - here is the "how to" for that wall:
1. read the back of the Quickwall sack and do what it says instead of what I say and you will probably have a better result
2. This block wall had varied layers of paint on it, a couple of old attempts with other products 15 years ago to obscure the mortar lines around the blocks, dirt, rust stains, etc -- no hope (in my mind) of scraping that mess off to do it "right". so - having given up with doing it right - I just mixed up some quickwall (added some bonding liquid for luck) and used various ways to smear it on over all the old stuff. (using a paint scraper to smear worked best but used my rubber gloved hand to smooth in places) . For curing I didn't do anything - sort of a brain glitch there. I found the process made my arm ache so I just did 3 or 4 sq feet at a time over a period of 2 weeks and did absolutely nothing to help it cure. With this quarter to half inch thick stuff it is hard to think of a good way to cure it - though I think the quickwall sack suggests a misting system for 48 hours or something like that.
I crossed my fingers and hoped that would make it stay up there for years and not crack or flake off. So far it has been 2 months and all is ok. You can see that is not much of a test so I really have no idea if it will last very long. It feels sound and great so I am guessing it will do better than I deserve considering my lack of wall prep.
The top 2 rows of blocks were decorative and had sections you could see through and hide garden tools in. To make that into a flat facade I used my fiberglass mesh fabric and quickwall and went right over the empty spaces. This also worked better than I expected. After it dried I could add more quickwall and get the texture to match the wall.
hope this helps,
Dian2 - the color was added after the quickwall dried. I used leftover exterior (and some interior) latex housepaint and also sprayed from spray cans in yellow/orange/ rust/ red in places and then sort of smudged it with a paint roller into the neutral colors.
Hope that helps,
I tried to find Quikwall here in BC a year ago and no luck at all.Home Hardware is SUPPOSEDLY a place to buy it,and I tried a couple of stores here on the Sunshine Coast and they said it wasn't on their list.I made my own formulation(Mymud,you can look it up in past posts)and it seems to work the same.
Cheers from here
Laura-I think you may have answered this before,by way of a note explaining the winter/spring blahs,but could you again?I was wondering how the pieces that you left outside in your balmy winter conditions survived freeze/thaws?Were there any cracks,leaks,that sort of thing?
Thanks and cheers from here
BTW,are there any Rotarians out there??E-mail me,please.
Thanks again for reading this missive.
Rick - I see no damage in any of the quickwall items that were left outdoors. I just had a few that were supposed to hold water and 3 of those I purposely left out full of water so they would go thru the freeze/thaw cycles our winter offers. (gets down to -10 for a few days most winters but can also race up to 50 a lot of days) . They all did fine - still hold water all summer.
My surprise is that they hold water at all. Why in the world would a thin walled quickwall ball hold water? I don't have much experience with any of this but the same ball made from concrete and mesh seems to leak like a sieve but the quickwall ball that is open to the weather has to be emptied after rains - I have left the water in it for weeks and it never leaves - it seems very waterproof to me. Life has so many mysteries.
I just reread the online data sheet for Quickwall. While they don't give away many details of their formula, here are some interesting quotes:
" QUIKWALL SBC is a Portland cement based formulation combined with alkali resistant (AR) glass fibers.
Decorating, waterproofing and strengthening existing block and mortar walls  Farm water storage coating
 No additional waterproofing necessary, even for water storage containers "
While I don't know exactly how it waterproofs, I shouldn't have been surprised that it does! Laura

The 2005 Costa Russi shimmers on the palate with extraordinary grace. The wine boasts wonderful depth and richness in its dark red fruit in a round, generous style that offers lovely balance to the tannins. Notes of tar, smoke and licorice develop in the glass, adding a touch of complexity and nuance that is sometimes missing in this bottling. The French oak is present, but deftly balanced with the wines other components. As always, Costa Russi comes across as relatively accessible when young, but it is sure to only improve with age. Recent bottles of the 1985 have been nothing short of glorious. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030. (AG)
(10/ 2008)
There's fabulous fruit on the nose, which is very pure, with crushed blackberry and blueberry. Full-bodied, with superrefined tannins and a long, caressing finish. A very classy wine. This is so long and beautiful. Lasts for minutes on the palate. Best after 2014.
(9/ 2008)
Costa Russi (a vineyard purchased by Gaja in 1967) produces a feminine wine with an emphasis on elegance and harmony, rather than power and succulence. Bright red fruit, smoke, cedar, cola and polished mineral notes create a beautiful embroidery of aromas and the wines firm but composed tannins bring the mouth alive. Keep it in your cellar 10 years or more.
(5/ 2009)
Good full medium red. Complex aromas of red fruits, truffle and underbrush. Lush and sweet but firm, with bright acidity and building tannins providing plenty of structural support. The dark fruit flavors display very good ripeness but are currently shut down by the wine's serious mouthcoating tannins.

I would hardly call this a park. Simply a line of back-in hookups so each site faces the ocean, situated on the high beach below the Lions Club building. Not staffed and pretty austere, especially on a foggy, rainy day. We had a reservation without any confirmations, so we just drove on by. Not a place for us. We camped at Oceanside RV Park in a Truck Camper.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2011 - $25.00
This park is one of our favorites in Newfoundland. All sites are back in with water and 30 amp electric. Dump station is in a convenient location. Sites are level, and there is an unobstructed view of the water from every site. It is windy at times. Wi-Fi is now available, and it worked well during our stay. We did not see the washrooms, so can't comment on that. There is almost no highway noise. We will always choose this park when in the area. We camped at Oceanside RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2010 - $25.00
Sites are e/w and there is a dump. Has a clean bathhouse. there is a single row of sites facing the Gulf. The view is fantastic even in the rain. The sites are gravel so it wasn't muddy; it could get windy. Has a friendly staff. We camped at Oceanside RV Park in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: June, 2007 - $20.00
This place has a beautiful view! Right on the ocean. The showers and bathrooms didn't look too hot due to tracked in dirt, so we skipped that. We had water and electric service. They guard the dump station pretty closely so people not staying in the park don't use it. It is essentially a gravel parking lot with no trees, but the view! It's run by the Lions Club. Would stay here again if in the area. Be sure to visit Ben's Studio - within walking distance. Ben is a talented folk artist. We had dinner at the Anchor Cafe in town - wonderful. We camped at Oceanside RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2006 - $20.00
This is one of those rare natural finds: the town Lions club leveled, graveled and set up 26 back-in sites against a hill overlooking the ocean. Super site for bonfires, beach combing and sunsets. Basic yet clean washroom facilities (two toilets and two showers, resulting in a line-up.) TV was weak – bring a video. A mid-sized grocery store's right across the highway. Considering the extremely sparse number of CGs between Deer Lake and St Anthony, we felt fortunate to find something this scenic. We camped at Oceanside RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo

Landowners in N New Mexico... we are looking
Do you own land in northern NM and are you spiritually open and interested
in someday living in a self-sustainable eco-village? If so, we would like to talk with you!
We are a group of individuals who are looking for a spiritually open,
community-minded landowner somewhere in rural northern New Mexico (north of
Albuquerque). We are looking to build a self-sustaining eco-village, either
by buying/leasing a portion of a larger piece of land (approx 20 acres
needed for the eco-village), or by joining forces with a like-minded
landowner, and working towards a self-sustainable, spiritually brighter
future together. We have the knowledge and equipment necessary to build
inexpensive eco-friendly structures, and are ready to start creating this
community in the spring of 2011. We need a remote area where building codes
are not an issue, and would prefer a landowner either with a large tract of
land, or a medium sized piece next to BLM or National Forest land.
Please contact us if interested for further details.
