A $38 million construction bond measure for the Tenino School District has failed again. The measure would have modernized two schools and upgraded athletic facilities and technology.

Voters in Sequim have rejected the school district's $154 million slate of school construction.The bonds would have funded a new elementary school construction, an extensive remodel and renovation of the high school and two existing elementary schools and the building of a new athletic complex.
The Lakewood city district this summer will start preparing three elementary schools and part of the high school to be rebuilt. The construction project will be the largest in the district's history. The funding will come from a passed bond issue and the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission.
With voter approval of Proposition G, Lindbergh Schools officials in St. Louis are looking to fast track the construction of a new elementary school. A total of $23.9 million of the $34 million bond issue will fund the construction, designed to address the district's aggressive enrollment growth.
A task force proposes using 1 percent of Rhode Island's 7-percent sales tax to pay for school construction projects in an effort to reduce the state's reliance on costly bonds.
Cabarrus County's board approved $15.5 million in capital outlay funding for one school replacement and $16 million for a new elementary school despite a projected significant gap between the estimated construction cost and the amount funded.
Newark will soon start the construction of three Newark schools that have been in development for years. The new construction is in addition to money pledged for repairing other city schools.
Alabama contractors, in looking for skilled workers, are interested in building the industry from the ground up by starting to work with high school students. Additional funding is now available for high school programs to give students on the job training.
Decatur's board voted to borrow $18 million for school construction projects. Under the proposed certificates of participation (COPS) financing agreement, the system would transfer title for three elementary schools to the Georgia Municipal Association and then sign a lease agreement to use the buildings.
Paola voters approved Paola USD 368's proposed $17 million school bond. Bond plans will include safety and security improvements at all of the schools, tornado shelters at all district facilities, renovations to the middle school and various other projects.

PS Vita Web site
System software version 1.52 for PlayStation Vita Update:
From January 16, 2012, began to update the system software version 1.52.

reports (wololo.net/wagic/2012/01/16/forced-firmware-update-1-52-for-the-ps-vita/#more-3875), to quote: "Mamosuke confirmed to me today that Teck4's exploit for the PSP Emulator in the vita is still working on 1.52.
Note that it doesn't guarantee 100% that some of the techniques used to get HBL to work on top of this exploit haven't been patched, as I haven't tested myself. But for now I'm confident. I might update to test that, at some point."

Following up on the
update, today PS Vita homebrew developer
has revealed the game used for the PlayStation Vita Half Byte Loader (VHBL) is Motorstorm Arctic Edge (Motorstorm Raging Ice in Japan) and shared a video of it in action below!
As a result, Sony has officially removed the Motorstorm Arctic Edge title from PlayStation Store.
To quote: "Ok, so, since the PSN maintenance is being postponed, there is no reason for me to not give the name of the game used by Teck4 for his exploit:
The Game is Motorstorm Arctic Edge, also known as Motorstorm Raging Ice in Japan. It is available for 19.99 euro on most European Playstation Stores, 15.99 Pounds in the UK, and for 3800 yen on the Japanese store.
Note for North American readers: that game, despite being available on the US Store, is marked as not compatible with the Vita in the US. People who have bought it in the US and tried to transfer it to their vita have failed as far as I know, which is why a few days ago I recommended people in the US to get a European PSN account.
Now what's next?
Well it's simple and stressful at the same time: I'm giving you guys a couple days to buy a copy of that game if you think VHBL is worth it (and assuming you trust that I'm not lying), and then I'll release the VHBL files. There are pros and cons to this "2 steps" release. The cons are that you have to trust me, and there's a possibility Sony actually patches/patched something without me knowing it, the pros are that I don't think Sony will remove the game from their store until they actually have something to patch, so I think this gives you guys a couple days to buy the game.
Or, you can wait until I release the files and other people confirm it works, at which point you run the risk that Sony patches the exploit and/or removes the game from the store before you can even buy it.
Now, let me be clear once again: buy the game if you want to play it, I have no way to guarantee VHBL will work for you, I can just tell that a few days ago this was confirmed to work by a few testers.
Also keep in mind that VHBL gives you no iso, no special access to the Vita hardware, just a limited PSP homebrew experience on your vita. If like me you think it's fun, then you might be interested. Or, if you think that 20 euros is a fair price for one of the best PSP games, then, well, just consider VHBL as a "bonus".
VHBL has been confirmed to work on firmware 1.61. If your console asks you to update to firmware 1.62 or something, I cannot guarantee it will still work. It is also recommended, after you bought the game, to be paranoid and disconnect your console from the network, and to install openCMA. Again, there are lots of unknown things going on with the Vita, it is impossible for me to tell if this will work for everyone.
As far as I know, there are 5 versions of this game out there. I ported VHBL to 4 of them, and I am sure the fifth one is vulnerable too, but I couldn't find any place selling or "distributing" it, so I couldn't port the exploit to it. That being said, it should be "doable" if somebody can get a copy, to port the exploit to that version as well.
Finally, for those who want proof, here's a video:
I want to thank the people who made this release go as smoothly as possible, especially Teck4 and Mamosuke, HBL devs (in particular m0skit0 and JJS, thanks for lurking on the scene for so long, you guys are the real deal!) the mods at /talk who have helped a lot over the past week, the handful of devs/testers who know how to keep a secret (you know who you are), but also the thousands of /talk users who, for some of them, have been knowing the game's name for several days now, and haven't leaked anything.
You guys are truly an awesome community, you can of course now go ahead and let your friends know, or brag about how you've known about the game for a while and hold the secret. It was so far an awesome experiment, let's hope the result will be worth it!"
Too bad my Vita will arrive in 9th March (international delivery) hopefully someone find another exploit by then.

Following up on his
update, today PS Vita homebrew developer
has announced that the PS Vita Half Byte Loader (VHBL) will arrive shortly after March 1, 2012 with details below.
To quote: "This has been a tough week for lots of you, coming to my blog everyday to see that no new information was available about the release of VHBL. Trust me, it's been a much tougher week for me, making sure things go according to my humble plan, coping with a few more issues than expected, and overall, taking all the insults about "being a faker" or "trying to boost my ego" without being able to say anything else than "please trust me".
Ok, let's reveal a few essential things here, starting with the bad news: The game used by Teck4′s exploit is not available on the US vita store. Blame Sony and their "275 out of 900 PSP games available for your vita" scheme for this, not us. Part of the waiting time was to see if Sony would add this game to the US store at some point. It is obviously compatible since it is available in other continents, so my guess is that this is a marketing or a legal decision.
Long story short, people in the US who want to enjoy HBL on their vita, for now, will have to create a European (or HK, or JP,...) PSN account, buy a PSN card for that specific store (google for online shops that can sell you those and email you the code within a few minutes), and buy the game from there. A 20 euros card will cover for the price of the game as far as I know (Update: a 20 pounds card will be enough on the UK store).
This also means you'll have to "link" your vita to a European store every time you want to use HBL. Yes, it's super impractical, yes, it makes HBL even less likely to be interesting for you if you're in the US, but no, that clearly was not part of the plan. The game is, after all, available on the US PSN Store, just not for the vita.
I do not plan to wait even more until Sony adds the game to the US Vita store, since that could pretty well never happen, and is wasting everybody's time (people waiting for HBL in Asia have been waiting for this release for almost 3 months now, keep that in mind if you are one of the few who complained that you had to wait for a week). We waited a week for good measure, and saw that Sony is not adding PSP titles on a daily basis.
Waiting in hope for the game to be added to the US store is not the only reason that I "waited" for the release, but that's one of the reasons. Another reason is that there is a maintenance of the PSN, inconveniently scheduled on march 1st, that is, basically 2 days after I initially planned to publicly reveal the name of the game.
After discussing with a bunch of people, I've decided to wait until after the PSN maintenance to reveal the name of the game. Best case scenario, the game magically appears on the store and everybody's happy (I wouldn't dream about that), worst case scenario, the PSN update patches some of the vulnerabilities used for VHBL, and we're screwed. So we'll see...
I'm using the opportunity to remind everybody that HBL is only a PSP homebrew loader. The exploit and HBL do not give you any access to PSP isos, or vita isos, or the vita system, or anything like that. Even compatibility with PSP homebrews is limited, so basically you're better off getting a hacked PSP if playing homebrews is really what you want, and you're better off going elsewhere if piracy or pure vita hacking is what you're looking for. Basically, this hack is for those of us who want to be part of the "first step", however insignificant that step might be. Other people should not buy the game and then blame me for spending their money foolishly, the choice is entirely yours.
I'm just trying to cover my #ss here: don't go and buy a PSN PSP game for your vita if you're deeply expecting something useful out of this. You should buy the game first to play it, second, as a bonus, to get HBL to (maybe) work with it. Again, HBL has been confirmed to work by a few people already, but I cannot predict if Sony will do a magical trick to patch the game under our feet.
Unless something goes wrong, the name of the game will be publicly announced here on March 2nd, after the March 1st PSN maintenance (give me up to 24 hours, I'm not necessarily in the same timezone as you and I also have a real life). The files for VHBL itself will be available shortly after that."

Below is another update on how the PS Vita HBL release will happen from
via: wololo.net/wagic/2012/02/03/vita-hbl-how-the-release-will-happen/
To quote: As the release of the PS Vita in the US and the EU gets closer, I'm getting an increasing amount of requests from people about HBL on the vita. I did post a FAQ a few weeks ago, but people still seem to have questions. When will it be released? Will it allow to run PSP isos? Will it work with a demo like for the patapon 2 exploit? Does it support this or that homebrew? etc…
Let me try to answer some of these questions, with more up-to-date answers.
First of all, the easy ones: VHBL (that's the super new cool name of HBL on the Vita, I'll let you guess what the V means, I know, I'm super original) will not support loading PSP isos. Basically VHBL will have the same limitations and features as HBL on the PSP, and, last time I checked, running psp isos was not possible through HBL.
The same HBL limitations apply to compatible homebrews. In a general way, user mode homebrews should work for the most part, while homebrews that require kernel access will not work. For now (but that could change), homebrews requiring network access might not work (or at least, the network part of them will not work).
Like in the patapon exploit era, it is possible, depending on the success of VHBL, that we progressively increase compatibility if we (as a community) keep improving the HBL code in the weeks following the release. Oh, and I am talking about PSP homebrews, running in HBL within the PSP emulator. So, for now, don't dream about a full speed N64 or psp2 emulator. What we'll get are the PSP homebrews that you already know.
Second, the vulnerability we rely on to run VHBL is a vulnerability in a PSP full Game, not a Demo. This means you will have to buy that game on the PSN in order to run VHBL (just like in the good old days of GTA:LCS for the first eLoader on the PSP). This also means that as soon as we reveal the name of that game, Sony can probably remove it from the PSN and/or patch it.
This leads to the most asked question: when and how will this be released? Well, I have a basic idea on how the release will happen. Nothing spectacular but it should hopefully be enough to guarantee that people who are really motivated in getting their hands on HBL on their Vita will get it. I'm hoping that constantly reminding people that this doesn't allow the to run any pirated content will attract the right people to this exploit, and not the 95% of pirates that define any console hacking scene these days
In the past weeks I've been polishing the release process, and I can't predict the future, but hopefully it will go well.
Nevertheless, getting access to this exploit for you guys will be a matter of being at the right place, at the right time.
For now I'm thinking Sony's reaction wil be to remove the game from the PSN within 24h of the public announcement. Worst case scenario, Sony is already aware of the vulnerability and have already patched the game. This is unfortunately not something I can test without getting any more guinea pigs... these guinea pigs will basically be you when the release happens, I can't really do any better than that.
Obviously, the release will not happen like your typical hack release (a dramatic article on every news site of the planet copying the hacker's initial blog post). It will be, I expect, a bit more subtle than that.
Anyways, I added a page (wololo.net/wagic/vhbl/) on this blog where the VHBL downloads will be available, so if you're waiting for HBL on your Vita, just check that page (and our /talk forums - wololo.net/talk/) regularly for updates.

Guardsmen Come to Colo. Ranchers' Rescue
Friday January 5, 2007 5:01 AM
By CHASE SQUIRES
Associated Press Writer
LAS ANIMAS, Colo. (AP) - As a column of National Guard trucks rolled up to Billy Jack Hawkins' home on the plains, the 57-year-old rancher stomped his boots in the snow and marveled at the blizzard it had taken the troops more than four hours to dig through.
``It's a bad one,'' the bearded Hawkins said of the snowstorm that buried his ranch and his only way back to town - 20 miles up the road - for six days. ``We were locked in. No way out.''
Hundreds of National Guard members this week joined local and state officials spread across southeastern Colorado hunting for stranded ranchers and their multibillion-dollar herds of cattle.
Helicopters delivered hundreds of bales of hay across the Oklahoma Panhandle, Kansas and Colorado's rangeland, while ranchers in smaller copters landed near frozen streams and broke up the ice with sledgehammers so their livestock could drink.
Tens of thousands of cattle were caught in the blizzard that dumped up to 3 feet of snow a week ago in eastern Colorado and the Kansas and Nebraska plains.
The storm has left thousands of livestock dead in Colorado, but a more massive die-off appears to have been averted, officials said Thursday. The National Guard was ending its airlifts of hay Thursday, though it planned to continue work on the ground.
This made me think of an event in the winter of 1886-87 - called "The Great Die-Up" when hundreds of thousands of cattle died in winter of 1886-87 on the Great Plains, ruining cattle ranchers - extreme low temps and blizzards, starting 11 13 1886 (source, documentary "The West" produced by Ken Burns, shown on PBS, Sept 1996). I used the 1886 Winter Solstice chart for Dodge City, KS (12 21 1886, 9:20 PM GMT, 37N45 31, 100W00 55) and entered it in my Encyclopaedia
When I read what Judy just sent, above, I ran a Winter Solstice chart for 2006 and set it for the same place - Dodge City, KS, to see if there were any things that were the same. (12 22 2006, 0:22:10 AM GMT)
What stood out was that the 1886 chart had the Asc at 28 Taur 53, the Pleiades Cluster in the Bull, and its opposite, Alpha Centauri, on the Dsc;
At the 2006 chart these same stars were on the Anti-Vertex-Vertex axis! (Pretty much the same for Las Animas, Colo, the site of the story above - 38 N, 103 W)
The Pleiades have always been known for storms, floods, and "something to weep about" - and of course, since it's in the Bull, cattle can be involved.
The very earliest depictions of Taurus show him with lightning bolts springing from his back, symbolizing the storms.
Another match was the 1886 MC at Dodge City - 7 Aquar 56 (cnj Ceres); the 2006 chart has Chiron in the 8th at 7 Aquar 04; this is another big storm-and-flood area:
Youe Psi Capricorni breast/leg (or heart?) 7AQ09 - 7 02 -25 16 20 46 4.14 F5 V

here, under Mundane, I have: Snow and ice storms and events, floods, fog, fires, air crashes, earth upheavals (etc)
and a great number of examples to prove it...
The solstice chart run for Las Animas has an exact Uranus (in the 9th) trine the Asc (11 Cancer, the helio NNode of storm-god Jupiter)

A third item is 1886 Uranus was 12 Libra, the 2006 Zeus 11 Libra - this also is a very major storm area (Gienah and Alchiba in the Crow, which was, anciently, a storm bird) which makes me realize that there is a rough "grand trine" of storm stars in the 1st decanates of the air signs!
But what really strikes me is the power and importance of those stars in the Bull - they nail it every time!
Love, Diana
PS: the events are 120 years apart - a trine.

New build- kitchen cabinets are in!
SMPop18October 28, 2012
Hi everyone! I just thought I would share the progress of our new kitchen. The cabinets are in! They are knotty alder in caramel with a mocha glaze from Shiloh. We're waiting on granite which is Tropical Brown and I'm so excited to see how it will look. I will be requesting help on selecting cabinet hardware and backsplash and will post pics of the lighting and faucet soon.
Very nice. I love stained wood cabinetry and knotty alder has so much character. Your kitchen is going to be beautiful.
Beautiful cabinets, Pop! I have those same pendants over my peninsula.

I´ve only got one .22 at the moment, thought that would be enough for a couple of years but I´m already wanting another
love 22's some of them you can pretty much abuse and they still work because there so simple. Also you can make you own out of stuff you get from a hard ware store, my favorite round next to the 30-06.

I guess im backwards..... I had a bunch of .22's but ended up getting rid of them. I do agree that .22s are great and cheap, But between my Weatherby and Winchester 63, the others just sat... Im not into the "tacticool" thing, so even my 10/22 has become a "case queen". Even though these guns are old, I still think these shoot better than a couple of my friends "pimped out" 10/22's
Wow a few of you fellows got it bad... I too have a rifle and pistol both semi-auto the pistol Ruger MarkIII 512 always goes to the range, I'll shoot the box of .380, 45's and .44mag then I finish off the time shooting a whole bunch of .22lr

Had the presentation of a 5* boutique hotel but doesn't quite deliver as such. We were first allocated a smoking room and were then accommodated in room of our choice from two slightly smaller non-smoking rooms. Even so room was good size and bathroom large with separate deep bath. Shower also good size but had unstable wooden panel over floor waste and seals on shower needed replacing. All towels were needed to mop up the overflow. Restaurant was not open for dinner during our stay. Breakfast room and choices adequate and more like 3* quality. Easy walking distance to most sights though on the lower side of the Cathedral so a few slopes and stairs to contend with. Reception staff very helpful and gave a couple of excellent recommendations for restaurants.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Vibrant quartet has no-nonsense attitude
The Italian musical term attacca means to proceed directly -- move along without hesitation. It's a well-suited moniker for the youthful Attacca Quartet, which is performing in the Virtuosi Concert Series on Saturday at 8 p.m. Its straight-ahead attitude is delightfully uplifting.
The New York City group, made up of violinists Amy Schroeder and Keiko Tokanuga, violist Luke Fleming and cellist Andrew Yee, is taking the place of originally scheduled performer, pianist Cyprien Katsaris. Harry Strub, Virtuosi's resourceful artistic director, proves again that when life gives him lemons he makes lemonade with this fortunate, albeit late switch.
Ever on the lookout for new talent to bring to his Eckhardt-Gramatté Hall stage at the University of Winnipeg, Strub was aware of this vibrant quartet through their agent and thought of them immediately when he needed a replacement. "I met them only a few weeks ago when they were showcased at the Chamber Music America annual presenters' conference in New York," said Strub. "I heard them live and up close in a packed-to-overflowing room. This sophisticated audience of chamber music presenters went a little crazy with enthusiasm for the exuberance and musical maturity we all witnessed."
"It's lucky we were free," Schroeder said in a phone interview she shared with Yee, speaking from the Juilliard School building. "We'll be in Washington two days before and were able to get a flight. We're excited to come to Winnipeg."
The ensemble was established in 2003. "We met on the second day of school," said Yee. "We later decided to form a string quartet. There have been two roster changes since then. We are the two original members."
Tokanuga, from Yokohama, Japan, joined over six years ago, while New Orleans native Fleming is the newest member at two and a half years. Schroeder hails from Buffalo and Yee calls Fairfax, Va., home. With the exception of 29-year-old Fleming, all are just 27.
"We started because we love string quartets," said Yee. "It's a great thing because you are essentially the owner of your own business. You play the repertoire you love. We love Haydn, Bartok and Bach. In the middle of each year we all sit down and ask, 'What do you want to play?' There are still so many works we want to play."
And while the quartet is pretty much a full-time job for the group members, they supplement their income by teaching and coaching. Yee also has a job at a "really nice" coffee shop.
In March the group will record its first professional CD, a compilation of the works of John Adams. It also has an impressive list of contest wins, including the 7th Osaka International Chamber Music Competition in 2011 and the 2010 Melbourne International Music Competition in 2010. "We wish we didn't have to do them," laughed Schroeder, "but it's good experience. You meet fantastic senior musicians and groups and it's great to share experiences with them. It's also a good way to be heard in places we wouldn't be otherwise. It makes us work hard and reach new levels."
In 2010, Attacca embarked on Project 68, a unique and ambitious initiative to perform all 68 Haydn string quartets in a series at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in New York. "It's a spectacular venue," said Yee. They use special classical bows to add authenticity to the performances.
The inspiration came from an exceptional experience Yee had with a particular Haydn work. "Haydn is often used to start a program," he explained. "It's the easy piece for listeners and musicians before going on to the harder stuff. It's always treated that way and you usually only hear the same 12 quartets. But one day I was out walking my dog, listening to a Haydn slow movement I had never heard before on my iPod. I had my big headphones on and it was so rich and so meaningful, I suddenly burst into tears. I called everyone and said 'Let's play this!'"
The project has taken off, with the group tackling three quartets per concert. "It's our happy place," said Yee, "because we realize that Haydn was the creator of the string quartet genre. He wrote them all through his life and you can track his development."
Their concert on Saturday isn't all Haydn, though. They will perform his Opus 77, No. 2 - his final complete string quartet -- but have also programmed Mendelssohn's String Quartet No. 2, Opus 44 in E minor, the quartet version of Barber's sweeping Adagio for Strings and String Quartet No. 2 by Janacek, known as Intimate Letters.
With so many quartets on the musical circuit, it can be difficult to differentiate yourself. The Attacca four don't let this worry them. "We've thought about that a lot," said Yee. "But it can be a dangerous thing to grapple with. Our goal is to be as true to ourselves as we can and hopefully that will show through. That's the road to happiness for us and the audience."
Tickets are $43 and $25, available by calling Virtuosi's 24-hour message line at 786-9000.

And so back in Houston, with the bus finally safe in the Zocalo compound, it's appropriately telling to take a last glance at the small chalkboard-paint "Destination" oval above the windshield -- and to realize that, after two weeks and 3,600 miles worth of performance art, nobody ever bothered to climb up there and write down just where Zocalo thought it was going.

Thormodsgard Law Library Director Rhonda Schwartz sent a letter to people at the university Wednesday explaining that the books in the garbage containers outside the building are nothing more than discontinued or outdated law journals that can be accessed online.

The Art of the Piano: John Stetch
Off With the Cuffs
Wednesday April 1, 2015 at 8 pm
Review of John Stetch, Off With the Cuffs (Addo Records, 2013)
"This remarkable pianist, whose wealth of styles and ideas cannot easily be contained even in that increasingly expansive realm known as jazz, seems never to have heard a musical border he did not want to cross. A Canadian of Ukrainian extraction, Stetch has often worked in the folk music traditions of his own heritage, as in his vivid and virtuosic Ukrainianism (2002). On that disc, dark ruminations on catastrophe—"Famine" and the closing track, "Children of Chernobyl"—are interleaved with affirmations such as his "Carpathian Blues." More than a decade on, Stetch continues to explore new terrain, this time out taking three beloved piano works of European art music for a spin: down the back alleys of the blues; bumping over the off-beat ruts of Eastern folk idioms; and careening into unexpected excursions attributable only to his creativity and the abundance of unnamed influences stored in his inner ear. The trip is fueled not least by an iconoclastic humor, one required by the very project of grabbing some beers and going joy-riding with Mozart (Sonata in B-Flat, K. 33), J. S. Bach (Italian Concerto, BWV 971), and Chopin (Ballade in G minor, op. 23). To listen to Stetch pilot these luxury vehicles over the off-road of his imagination is wildly inspiring, usefully disconcerting, and just plain fun. The CD closes with Stetch's idiosyncratic and illuminating readings of three preludes by Shostakovich followed by an original, Kapustin Rag. The dents of the journey through the classics are polished up at the close in the unlikeliest of Rag meters (7/8 and 11/8) in this piece named in honor of the Ukrainian-Russian composer Nikolai Kapustin. With Putin marching into the Crimea and glowering at the rest of the Ukraine it is good to know that in Stetch's hands the borders will always remain open."
- DAVID YEARSLEY (from Counterpunch, March 2013). David Yearsley, author of "Bach's Feet," once played the world's oldest piano and didn't damage it … much.
Testimonials For Off With The Cuffs:
"Stetch has the musical gravitas to pull off what some could see as mere musical jokes; in his hands, though, these tunes have become more contemporary songs, to be taken no less seriously than the originals." - DownBeat Magazine, 4 stars
"John's vibrant, whimsical and piano-playing is totally engaging - "Off With The Cuffs" highlights his witty and clever sense of improvisation, and is great fun to listen to." - Lisa Kaplan, 3-time Grammy winning pianist of Eighth Blackbird
"Imaginative, rigorous, and truly personal takes on the classics!"- Joseph Lin, The Julliard String Quartet
"FANTASTIC! There is such clarity and so much humor in Stetch's playing! I have always loved that about him." - Rufus Reid, bassist, composer and bandleader
"John Stetch has a unique voice and travels freely between musical styles. He does all of this with overwhelming virtuosity". - Alex Fiterstein, classical clarinetist, 2009 Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient

Stanislav Pronin, violin and Peter Longworth, piano
Thursday April 2, 2015 at 8 pm
"This is…an intriguing recital: Pronin puts Milstein's famous tour de force through its paces and finds dark corners in the sumptuous beauties of Ysaÿe. Pronin even scores by playing both parts in the Prokofiev; the out-of-body experience arouses the music's emotional content in an attractively unsettling way…Pronin attaches 'extramusical imagery' to the piece, and writes of 'dancing snowflake patterns, shiny and brilliant yet quite delicate'. It's a window on Prokofiev's Russian soul, and Pronin's own." - The Gramophone, review of Violin For One (Naxos/Sono Luminus) (2011)
Stanislav Pronin, violin
Stanislav Pronin was born in Moscow, Russia and began his violin studies upon his immigration to Israel at the age of 8. His first teacher was his grandfather, Veniamin Pronin, a student of Pyotr Stoliarskiy and former Professor at the Odessa Conservatoire. Stanislav continued his studies at Indiana University with Nelli Shkolnikova and Jaime Laredo, and later at the Hochschule für Musik Köln, Germany, with Professor Zakhar Bron.
Mr. Pronin's professional career began following his solo debut in Israel at the age of 10. He has performed as soloist and chamber musician at many festivals including Verbier Festival and Interlaken Classics in Switzerland, Banff Festival and Stratford Festival inCanada, Kronberg Festival in Germany, etc. He performs regularly in USA, Canada, Europe and Scandinavia, and in such venues as Carnegie Hall, Miller Theatre, Musikhuset Aarhus, National Arts Centre Ottawa, Perlman Theatre in Philadelphia, and so on. He has collaborated with numerous conductors including Leonard Slatkin, Herbert Blomstedt, Antonio Mendez, Sigiswald Kuijken, Andrew Constantine and Joshua Weilerstein. As chamber musician, he has collaborated with Jan Lisiecki, Jaime Laredo, James Campbell, Mark Kaplan, Bion Tsang, Orion String Quartet, Victor Danchenko, Julian Milkis, Anton Nel, Emille Naoumoff and Lera Auerbach. Mr. Pronin's recordings, including his solo CD debut on Naxos/Sono Luminus labels, have been broadcasted on numerous radio and television channels including WDR Köln, RTS-1 Belgrade, CBC Canada, Radio Klassisk Denmark, Interlochen Public Radio, WFMT Chicago Classical, etc.
Stanislav is the recipient of multiple awards from the American String Teachers Association, America-Israel Cultural Foundation, Canada Council for the Arts and Classical Artists Development Foundation. He performs on a Nicola Bergonzi violin from 1785, and the ex-Ysaye, ex-Flesch Voirin bow, generously on loan from a private donor.
Peter Longworth, piano
"Peter Longworth is a concert pianist of such power and grace that even the crystal baubles on the chandeliers at Orchestra Hall tingle, dance and resonate when he plays." -Chicago Tribune
Pianist Peter Longworth has established himself as one of the most sought after performers of his generation. Equally comfortable as soloist and chamber musician, he has performed in cities around the world. In North America stops include New York, Chicago, London, Montreal, and Vancouver; abroad, he's performed in London, Moscow, Brussels, Glasgow, and Nice.
He has been a soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Fairbanks Symphony, the Vancouver Symphony, Kitchener- Waterloo Symphony, and other orchestras in North America. Mr. Longworth has collaborated with conductors such as Bramwell Tovey, Edwin Outwater, Eduard Zilberkant, Nikolas Caoile, and Joseph Rescigno.
After a successful performance during the 11/12 season, Peter was invited back to perform during the 12/13 season with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra and he will also appear with the Canadian Sinfonietta.
Peter appears regularly at Kairos Music Festival in Washington state, Music and Beyond Festival in Ottawa, and has made previous appearances at numerous festivals across the continent, including the Malibu Coast Music Festival and the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival. Mr. Longworth is a founding member of the Duke Piano Trio (with violinist Mark Fewer and cellist Thomas Wiebe), which has performed throughout the United States and Canada. Peter continues performing with Mark, and has appeared in collaboration with many of today's finest instrumentalists including violinist Camilla Wicks, violist Steven Dann, clarinettist Joaquin Valdepenas, and bassist Joel Quarrington.
Peter is an active recording artist; he can be heard on the Azica Records label with a 2013 release of solo Brahms piano music, and a 2010 recording of the complete Brahms violin and piano sonatas with Mark Fewer.
Since 1991, Mr. Longworth has been a faculty member of the Glenn Gould School in Toronto. Through his work there as a private teacher, and as one of the key facilitators of the chamber music and collaborative programs, he has influenced many of the most gifted young musicians of the next generation.
Born in 1964 in London, England, Mr. Longworth began his piano studies in Brussels. He studied at Northwestern University with Arthur Tollefson and at the University of Michigan with Eckhart Sellheim and after a year at the Banff Centre for the Fine Arts, he completed his studies at the Royal Conservatory with Marek Jablonski, Leon Fleisher, and Marc Durand. Mr. Longworth was a laureate of the International Busoni Piano Competition in Italy in 1991.

The Art of the Piano: Sarah Hagen
Saturday April 25 at 8 pm
$20; $10 Students
Canadian pianist Sarah Hagen has been heard in concert halls and on the airwaves throughout North America and Europe. Her interpretations have been described as "outstandingly inventive," performed with "infinite skill."
A visionary and an idealist, Sarah's performances are conceptually innovative, involving photography, dance and theatre. She is the Artistic Director for Pro'ject Sound, a performance project involving live piano with large-scale projected images. She curates, hosts, and performs on numerous concert series in BC and Alberta, sharing the stage with artists from around the world. An avid collaborator, Sarah has performed with cellist Ariel Barnes, violinist Martin Chalifour, tenor Benjamin Butterfield, Trio Accord, Ballet Victoria, the Emily Carr String Quartet, among many others, and has appeared as soloist with the Victoria Symphony under the baton of Mei-Ann Chen, the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony conducted by Mark Skazinetsky, and the Symphony Orchestra of the Pacific with conductor Arthur Arnold.
As a First Prize Winner in the 2013 Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Competition, she was awarded the opportunity to perform solo at New York City's Carnegie Hall in May 2013. Highlights of Sarah's current season include an autumn tour in the Maritimes, Mendelssohn's First Piano Concerto with the West Coast Symphony, and a musical adventure in Goose Bay, Labrador.
Miss Hagen has been heard on Swedish Radio 2, CBC Radio 1 and 2, WDAV (North Carolina) WOSU (Ohio), KFUO (Missouri), CKUA (Edmonton), WKAR (Michigan), WITF (Pennsylvania), 98.1 KING FM (Seattle) and has appeared on Bravo Television. Her solo album, Glass House Dancing, was nominated for Classical Recording of the Year at the 2009 Western Canadian Music Awards. In December 2013 she released her second album, Devoted: Music of Robert & Clara Schumann, featuring solo piano works and Clara Schumann's Romances, Opus 22 with violinist Martin Chalifour, concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Sarah's primary teachers and mentors have been Jamie Parker, Glen Montgomery, Gregory Chaverdian and Christine Purvis. Since her move in 2011 to an artist loft in one of Vancouver's most vibrant neighbourhoods, she has become deeply involved with intricate projects inspired by urban vitality.
Sarah's motivation is the belief that music has the power to be a window into our souls regardless of age or knowledge. www.sarahhagen.com
"…the level of passion that Hagen possesses - when it comes to experiencing, interpreting and expressing art - is something quite extraordinary. It does seem to be this deep level of artistic understanding, and ability to communicate on this level - either through words or through artistic expression - that truly sets her apart as a pianist and musical artist. …it was immediately apparent that this would be a piano concert beyond the norm. …Hagen is one of the most expressive piano players that I have ever seen perform. " - The Guardian (Charlottetown)
Mozart's D minor Fantasy K. 397, "played flawlessly by Sarah Hagen." - Ed Farolan, Review Vancouver
"Exquisite phrasing and a refreshingly imaginative approach make her one to watch."
-Marcia Adair, TheOmniscientMussel.com
"Her Bach and Haydn were outstandingly inventive – this is a young woman ready to take interpretive risks." -University of Waterloo Gazette
"Hagen performed this complex arrangement [Chopin's Opus 28 Preludes] with infinite skill. Her concentration and focus was extraordinary; her movements strong, yet graceful." -Comox Valley Record

What is Now?
Saturday May 9th, 2015 at 8 PM
Admission $15; $10 Seniors, Students and Arts Workers.
Being in the present can be interesting if we pay attention.
Being in the now can be transcendent if we know what to do.
Exploration through performance could be the difference...
This show explores "What is Now?" through performances by Toronto poet Brent Peers and other spoken word artists (TBA) rooted in the poetry slam community, alongside improvised music created by Bill Gilliam (piano), Glen Hall (Kyma X, electroacoustic sounds, saxophone, flutes, and bass clarinet) and Ambrose Pottie (percussion).
Bill Gilliam (piano)
Bill Gilliam is a Toronto based composer / pianist who improvises new music compositions blending influences of contemporary harmony and jazz idioms into his unique style of playing.
"Bill Gilliam's experience and his output since the mid-80s has spanned formal composition, jazz and jazz-oriented improvisation as well as electro-acoustic music and music-visual media. Gilliam has aimed to bring his composer's sense of form and continuity to the improvisational process so that each of the pieces in the recording has its own distinct character. His harmonies blend 20th century classical and jazz sounds in a convincing, comfortable modal-chromatic style" "Ensorcell" - The WholeNote CD review Sept 2012.
Bill has written music for film, dance and theatre and new music chamber ensembles as well for his jazz projects. His recordings include "Ensorcell" for solo piano, "Signposts" – a CD created in collaboration with percussionist Charlie Ringas with improvised piano, percussion and spoken word as well as "Memory Vision" DVD of Bill's electro-acoustic music with multi-media art created by different visual artists.

continues to perform with Toronto Improvisor's Orchestra and Audiopollination and collaborate with artists using spoken word and improvisation. www.bill-gilliam.com

He himself has represented the WE FLIP TABLES! spoken word collective at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in Sasktaoon in 2012 and Montréal in 2013, as well as the Canadian Individual Poetry Slam and the Verses Festival of Words in Vancouver in 2014 and 2015.
Glen Hall has an international reputation as a composer, improviser and multi-instrumentalist. Hall has been an agent provocateur on the Canadian creative music scene for decades. He was the first Canadian jazz musician to independently record and release a free jazz album ("The Book of the Heart" with Joanne Brackeen, Cecil McBee and Billy Hart). He is one the very few musicians besides Miles Davis to collaborate and record with legendary composer/arranger Gil Evans ("The Mother of the Book").

Definition of the noun Warmblood
What does Warmblood mean as a name of something?
- A middle-weight classification of horses, between draught horses and thoroughbreds
Warmblood is a musical group.
- albums: "Timor Mortis", "NecroCosmos DestiNation"
Warmblood: Warmbloods are a group of middle-weight horse types and breeds, primarily originating in Europe, registered with organizations that are characterized by open studbook policy, studbook selection, and the aim of breeding for equestrian sport. The term distinguishes these horses from both heavy draft horses and refined light saddle horses such as the Thoroughbred and Arabian. Though modern warmbloods are descended from heavier agricultural types systematically upgraded by hotblood influence, the term does not imply that Warmbloods are direct crosses of "cold" and "hot".

All well and good but a full on zapper, motion, analog, action game would have been great. Plain old light gun games are ok, but come on, a survival horror house of the dead would rock.

Man, Wii has more horror titles coming than I first thought. We already got Alone in the Dark (although that game sucks), Resident Evil: UC and RE4: Wii Edition, and The House of the Dead 2 & 3. Then coming soon is Fatal Frame IV, Curse Mountain, Dead Rising: CTYD, Sadness, Fragile, and now this. I'm glad I own a Wii for all of them.

Just picked up this game today and can't believe how laggy the controls are, even reloading lags and the gun sounds coming from the wiimote speaker are so bad (low and staticy) that I though my wiimote was broken! What happened sega? Ghostsquad has better gameplay than this.

This game is fun! Once you upgrade the weapons, especially the auto shotgun it's awesome. Use two guns at the same time.
