The house is beautiful and the woodland setting perfect. The breakfast is very good.
Unfortunately the trees to the east side have grown up so the view of Mount Pilchuck is obscured. The hot tub is no longer being maintained; no WiFi service.
The manager was really nice, and even remembered my name when I checked out the next morning. Small toiletries were also provided, with, finally, decent sized bath towels (instead of hand towels masquerading as bath towels). Wi-Fi and HBO were provided free of charge and the air conditioner actually worked!
The staff was great. We were there on Thanksgiving and they had limited service available because they gave almost everyone the day off. That shows dedication to their staff. Loved it.
Hotel was doing a remodel so the lobby was a mess, breakfast was pretty bad, construction dust everywhere. The room they gave us was bad, handicapped with a queen and twin bed. We had 2 kids so we had to pay extra for a roll away that barely fin in room
Noise was a big problem. Definitely should request a room on the backside away from the highway and train noise. Walls DO NOT dampen noise from neighbors; room next door had small children running in the room until after 11, and TV on all night.
They did not provide paperwork showing a breakdown of charges
Room was clean.
Our room was above a Mexican restaurant. Noise and banging went on all night long. Room in need of updating. Located next to busy highway.
Convenient (if somewhat unattractive) location, friendly staff, relatively quiet.
This hotel does not have an attractive setting: it's sandwiched between a strip mall, a restaurant and an even larger mall.
Hotel is very clean. Breakfast provides variety of warm and cold food choices. Very friendly staff. In general, very good experience to stay there for a night.
Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Not a bad place for the price.

spacing a variety of peppers
I have one empty 4' x 4' bed that I'd like to plant my peppers in. It was in my head that the square foot garden recommendation for peppers was 1 per square foot. However, I have been looking up the varieties I have (awesome gift of the pepper exchange here on the gw!) & a lot of them call for 18-24" spacing. I live in GA where we have long, hot, humid summers. This bed gets full sun. I would like to fit as many of the peppers in this bed as I can, & then put the rest in 5 gallon buckets. Which ones would you plant in the bed & at what spacing?
Mini Chocolate Bell
Pizza Pepper
Jimmy Nardello
Sweet Chocolate
Bulgarian Carrot
Serrano Tampiqueno
Alma Paprika
Ancho San Luis
Chihuacle Negro
Aji Yellow
Sigaretta di Bergamo
Joe's Long
Red Ruffled Pimento
Currently, my peps are little starts in solo cups with their second set of true leaves just coming out. They have been outside since sprouting, except on a couple of freezing nights when I brought those I couldn't cover back in.
Guys.... he's got 16 sq ft, 5 plants? That's too far apart. I put mine max. 18" the closer together they are, the better they shade each other's fruit. 5 plants, that's 3 sq ft/plant. I would put them all in, that's still a bit more than 1 sq ft/plant. I have 4' x 12' beds and I have 24-36 plants in each one.
p.s. I'd put the Bulgarian Carrot on the outside, it's a smaller plant and it might get dwarfed if it's inside. I always put it in a corner.

Not sure about all those varieties, but generally 18" is fine for anything but the bushier chinense vairieties; especially if you cage the taller or spindly branch varieties like ancho, bell, negro(on the tall and heavy fruited side) and the serrano(spindly branches). I'd put these types in the middle of the bed with 4' cages and then some shorter varieties around the perimeter with 42" cages. All in all -- about 9-12 plants.
There is a possibility I may move in the middle of the summer, so I wasn't worried about cross pollination, or in the end (after help here & much thought) about them getting too crowded. Took me a while to let go of the idea of putting them all in buckets so we could take them with us, but it wasn't realistic. Just like to have some peppers before we go.
It is hard to consider leaving a garden you've put a lot into, even if it is a small one. But maybe by this time next year I will have a big one!

F-8 Crusader mods for J-Power
I received this 50mm F-8 and saw that it needed some help to be a Crusader. At $65, I'm not complaining...it's a great start on a cool jet.
First, the intake is way too large as is the fuselage, so a pie slice was removed down the length, from in front of the engine, all the way to the intake.
Looks better already, but the cockpit is too close to the wings. I sliced off the cockpit and traced a template on some plywood. This was used to hot wire 16 sections of blue foam for the required 3 3/4 inches of missing
fuselage. Old school, laser would be better, but no got...
I'll post more progress, right now it's fill and sand...
|Dec 01, 2011, 01:35 PM
Out of paint at the moment, so she's a bit rough, but she's ready for test flight.
Motor swap gets an honest 150 watts/16 amps at WOT. No scorcher like the
big brother, but should be fine...it's one of those long can 20x40x3.00 jobs, you know, the purple ones. Kit impeller presses on the motor very nicely. Translated, I can't get the impeller off the shaft after I test fitted it...after many run-ups and different throttle settings, trying to shake it off, it won't budge, mostly because it's very balanced and smooth...so we'll see.
To make up for added weight, I threw out the 3 servos and went with tailerons using two 3 gram servos. I ended up adding 35 grams over stock weight with the fuse extension, tailerons and motor/esc swap. With the J-57 afterburner motor, this should be OK...
|Dec 01, 2011, 01:36 PM
wow! starting to look like a F-8! great work!
|Dec 01, 2011, 01:49 PM
Thanks, CN! ...and deltas do rule...along with stubby winged stovepipes...
|Dec 02, 2011, 11:05 AM
Creative work! I think the designers were confused and took and A-7 shape and turned it into a F-8. Check the elevator incidence. Many have reported the plan acts tail heavy, the nose pitches up and you enter a flat spin to teh ground. A few other models were known for this and upon checking, the tails were indeed given a molded in up incidence. Most correct it or fly the thing really nose heavy.
|Dec 02, 2011, 01:23 PM
Thanks, Joe!
Yep, after getting the model, I was surprised I had an A-7 in my hands with a nice F-8 paint job...VMF 312, the 'Checkerboards' out of MCAS El Toro, served combat in VN before handing their F-8E's in for F-4's...well, that's good enough for me!
Tonight was the test flight, but the wind forecast is not too good.
Thanks for the heads up on the elevator incidence problem. I'll trim slightly down elevator from factory mold marks, then. The full flying elevators pay off here...checking if the incidence really is out of wack will be easy.
The wings on this plane are rather small and over weighting them would be easy. The fuse at this scale is 30 inches. Combined with the tiny stock motor/fan, a toss ending with a sight similar to a javlin...if you're lucky...would probably be the result. Even motoring up has to be carefully considered, again due to the small wings. I'm about 70 grams over the 325 allowed. I don't think the stock weight was right either, though, should have read 350 grams flying weight, according to my scales. Regardless, wing loading is at the max end of the scale, so I'll let you guys know the results of the test flight.
|Dec 02, 2011, 03:28 PM
Cool foam work! Take the edge of a spoon and a straight edge to connect your pannel lines thru the fuse addition.....just push the spoon edge in lightly and drag against the straight edge for a nice line to match the others. I learned the trick repairing foamies!
|Dec 02, 2011, 04:58 PM
Thanks, AA...good tip, that will leave a nice heavy line. My method for years has been an old, dull pizza wheel cutter on a straight edge. But makes a fine line, not the heavy lines that are on this model...I'll try your tip ...
|Dec 02, 2011, 10:12 PM
Excited to give this one a run! Hope the winds calm down! Nice job as usual Joe!!

I built an F-8 from scratch and I really like your work..as I have the JPower F8, but I have not decided if I want to try and mod it. you are right on the money about the really tough situation when doing an F-8 becuase of the fuselage length and the small wings...mine required quite a bit of thrust to fly well and it needed flaps on landing to reduce the speed..
Good luck!
|Dec 03, 2011, 07:05 PM
Joe,, great work!!! Nice looking bird now,, are you going to finish the detail and repaint?
Sarge,, good to see you on here again,, awsome plane there! Going to make seff this year???? w.
|Dec 03, 2011, 09:20 PM
@ bighead...Thanks, tomorrow looks good for test flight.
@ jg...Thanks, if things go well then she'll get paint and details.
@ sarge...WOW, that is one beautiful model. Never seen the RF-8 version, absolutely outstanding! Thanks for the great shots.
We'll try to get a video and pics of the test flight. Final AUW is 401 grams...can't think of any more ways to lighten it up. I feel it should scoot OK, if not, I can always open a cheater hole to see if that helps, but for now, it's going up sans hole.

The maiden went well with bighead on the sticks. The plane is very fast and likes to fly straight ahead. The tailerons were not the best idea...a normal elevator and small ailerons about mid-wing are the next mod to try. I'll let you know the results as this plane doing a high speed low pass is beyond cool...made the project worthwhile and some more time spent on the plane is in order.
No cheater hole is required, speed is more than adequate. Also, the full size plane had ventral fins, something this model could benefit from. Ben flew two flights on two 3s 850's which gives about 4 minutes of high to medium throttle settings. She flew nicely at half throttle, too.
Someone shot video so I'll try and get it.
|Dec 04, 2011, 11:56 PM
It flew great! A hair touchy but very cool!! Can't wait to try it after the next mods!

My husband and I spent 6 weeks in Australia Hey, I only get to go once! and this is the highlight he will talk about for the rest of his life. The night sky there is truly fabulous. If you are in the area, or even on the continent, find a way to spend some of the night hours in the desert. And on this tour you get a great BBQ dinner and guide who knows the stars.
Doing what: Uluru (Ayers Rock) Outback Barbecue Dinner and Star Tour
What a night! So nice! From the start with dinks at an area by Ayers Rock to the dinner part, it was a great experience. So relaxing. No noise at all as you are in the middle of nowhere.
My absolute favorite part was when they turned off all of the lights from dinner and it was pitch black and the stars lit up like crazy! Living in big ciities I never see stars. The lights from the stats were so intense. Then a Star Talker tells us amazing things about all of the stars and the formations and points out literally with a pointer all the famous stars like Milky Way, Gemini and Southern Cross. So educated and entertaining he was!

Exallent evening, good food, plenty of drink, friendly staff, certainly finished out holiday on a high, expensive evening but you only live once.
Thank you

Help!! Plant wilted but sprouting again...
My African violet means a lot to me, so since I was going abroad for a month, I left it in the care of my girlfriend.
Since I they're both in Taiwan right now (I am currently back in Canada), the temperatures there are around 30~35C (86 ~ 95F) and it is quite humid outside.
Due to a misunderstanding, my girlfriend left my African violet out on the balcony in the immense heat for about four, five days, and when she checked on it again, all the leaves turned black and it showed signs of wilting.
After I told her to bring it indoors to a room temperature environment (about 25C; 77F), and removed all the blackened leaves from the plants, the it showed signs of recovery. There were a few small leaves that were sprouting from what remained of the plant.
For the past few days though, the edges of the small sprouts started turning a darker shade of brown again, and I can't figure out the reason why.
The plant is currently being watered twice a week, and kept indoors at all times at room temperature.
This plant really means a lot to me, and I really hope it can be nursed back to health...
The picture included is of the sprouts that grew from the remains of the original plant.
Just off the top of my head perhaps twice a week is two much water. How dry or wet is the soil when it is watered. I only water mine that I don't wick once a week. And sometimes depending on the humidity in the house longer then that.
I hope others can help you. That poor thing looks like it it trying hard to survive.
Thanks for your reply. I'll tell my girlfriend to keep the number of times of watering the plant down... she said that the soil is somewhat wet when it is being watered.
Taiwan's quite humid, so I'll tell her to water it once a week, and if the soil is still wet when a week is up, I'll tell her to postpone the watering.
All the leaves were blackened when the plant was moved indoors originally, and the new sprouts really brought us hope. I really hope it can pull through, as during the year and a half I had it, it actually grew to be really large with beautiful purple and white flowers... these sprouts are the last of my hopes.
This is a tough call. But there are a few definite things that can be addressed. First the plant is being watered too much even at once a week in a high humid environment it can still be too much. Tell your friend to water when the top is dry to the touch instead of trying to use a set schedule. The plant is using much less water because it doesn't have the leaves to support a lot of uptake. As for the blackened leaves going back into the soil, it's generally not advised due to disease. However, in this case with the leaves having died from shock as opposed to disease, it will likely be alright won't hurt anything.
I'd keep a close eye on the plant. If the roots look healthy (mostly white-ish), I'd let the plant go about its merry way. If the roots look brown and dead, I'd take a sharp razor and cut off the top and re-root it in a high-humid place (with temperatures between 20-25'C)
Keep us posted
Ummmm... I just got another photo update.
I told her to stop watering it for now, as the soil is wet. The green sprouts as seen in the previous picture have turned a brown shade...
I'm not sure of the exact condition of the root, but it doesn't look that white to me.
:-( I'm afraid it doesn't look good. one last check to see if the crown is alive is to take a finger nail and scratch at the crown just above the soil line. if it's hard and alive-feeling, leave it. If it's brown and soft, the plant should be discarded.
... well, my girlfriend is now angry at me and would have nothing to do with my African violet... so I won't know the condition of it until I go back to Taiwan next week.
Thank you both for your replies, and I shall update the condition of my African violet when I see it firsthand.

I wouldn't sacrifice a relationship for the plant. She did what she thought was best for the plant. And when that was the wrong thing to do she tried to fix it. Not everyone would have put the effort into trying to keep it alive. Plants are replaceable. Not all people are. And who knows maybe doing nothing to the plant for a bit will pay off. Good luck.

"Our invitations turned out great and we were really impressed with how quickly they arrived. The paper (background) colour is a little darker than expected, so know that they are quite grey when they looked more white to us online."
"The design for this invitation was perfect for our rustic fall wedding and we fell in love with it right away. We were so pleased when it arrived as the paper quality felt expensive and the design was even more beautiful in person (LOVE the branches on the back!). We would highly recommend upgrading to the kraft paper envelope for this one (it really brings out the coloring of the invite). The ONLY drawback to this design (for us) was that there was not an option to add RSVP/website information as we are managing this electronically vs. formal RSVP cards."
"We ordered the invitations in blue. The flower colors were beautiful. We opted to use the standard paper, and the quality of the paper was excellent. It was very easy to create the invitations and edit the text. Wedding Paper Divas sent a proof of the invitation prior to printing. The invitations arrived on time and were packed very nicely in a box to prevent any damages from shipping."
"I was little bit sceptic about colors, because usually when you order something online, and after you get your order, doesn't look same as in the picture. My invitations came week earlier, I was really positive surprised. When I opened the box, my invitations looked beautiful, nice, springish colors, quality paper, exactly what I wanted. I am getting a lot compliments every day, and probably this is not the last time to purchase from Wedding Paper Divas :-)"
"This was a great choice if you are looking for simple, yet classic and beautiful! I chose the pink version, with the pearl shimmer paper. I highly recommend the pearl shimmer, it adds a little something more fancy - and is not overwhelming. There is only one complaint that I have, and it is in the grey background in the design - it is meant to look a little "distressed" but in person it comes off as looking like a printing error. There are some darker grey lines on the front that shouldn't be there (in my opinion), but it is part of the design. the quality of the paper is great, and my friends and family love them! I did have to change some wording after my initial customization, and the customer service and design team were very helpful and accommodating."

REHEARSAL STRATEGIES OF SIR DAVID WILCOCKS by Carl Smith
Sir David Willcocks, Music Director Emeritus, King's College Choir, King's College, Cambridge University, UK, used three rehearsal strategies which differed from rehearsal strategies used by other choral conductors, with whom I have sung.
The first strategy was teaching releases. Many times, in dealing with choral-orchestral works, he would tell us to "clear the beat!" The idea was to release a phrase before the downbeat of the next measure, or a beat within a measure. This was certainly different from what I had been taught! To teach the concept, he would have us say "1-2-3-4- ONE!" Then he would have us whisper the "ONE!" Finally, he would have us say silently say the "ONE!" Worked every time. Anyone out there use this rehearsal strategy?
The second rehearsal strategy was the use of the piano in helping us to learn a difficult line, He would play the part an octave or two higher to help us hear the articulation he wanted and the sound of the line. Anyone out there use this rehearsal strategy?
The third rehearsal was to have everyone in the chorus sing a particular line, for example, a line in Renaissance polyphony, such as a Palestrina motet. Anyone out there use this rehearsal strategy? I'd love to hear from you!

Some days we seem to be surrounded by rampant narcissism and seemingly endless self-promotion by wanna–be mini-celebrities. So when something like this comes along, the only word that comes to mind is "refreshing."
The recent ACDA national conference in Salt Lake featured a service project where choral students from Waukee High School (Iowa) led a choir exchange with their peers at Granite Park Junior High School in Salt Lake City. The accompanying video fragment shows just a small taste of that valuable experience.
This is exactly the sort of altruism our founders had in mind when they penned the first six words of ACDA's Purposes: "To foster and promote choral singing . . ."
Thankfully, most of us educators already know that this life isn't about cash. It's about helping others.
Bravo, one and all!

MUSIC CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND SO CAN YOU! by Heather MacDonald (Volunteer & Community Engagement Director, United Way of Salt Lake City)
The mission of the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) is to inspire excellence in choral music through education, performance, composition, and advocacy. The ACDA hosted their 2015 National Conference in Salt Lake City which provided a unique opportunity for two UWSL Community Schools to experience performances, coaching, and student interaction with two of the visiting choirs.
Almost 300 choirs auditioned for the opportunity to perform at the Mormon Tabernacle and Abravanel Hall during the conference, and only 22 were selected. From that select group of top performers, Baylor University from Waco, TX and Waukee High School from Waukee, IA were given the opportunity to volunteer as part of their conference experience.
Through the planning process, the ACDA was clear they wanted an opportunity for the visiting choirs to not just perform but to be able to interact with students and offer their expertise. Granite Park Junior High students started out by participating in icebreaker activities led by the Waukee High School students. During their time they also shared lunch, performed for each other, and were treated to a clinic where they learned performance tips and how they could better work together to be a cohesive choir.
"My kids TRULY enjoyed every moment of this experience and it was a highlight of our Salt Lake City experience. I think every conference should have a component that resembles this as it was educational, fun, and incredibly rewarding to work together–confirming that music is a powerful tool that brings people together in unexpected ways." – Amy Hall, Waukee High School Director of Vocal Music
"The ACDA experience with Amy Hall and the Waukee High School choir was incredible for the students at Granite Park Junior High. The faces of my students said it all. Many of my students have never had the opportunity to see such a high-quality choir performance. It was also incredible for my students to get feedback on their singing from Mrs. Hall. It was an experience that truly inspired my students and one that they, and I, will never forget." – Melissa Drake, Granite Park Jr. High Choir Teacher
Kearns High School partnered with Jefferson Junior High to share their choir experience with both Kearns High and Jefferson students. The Baylor University choir, directed by Alan Raines, provided an engaging musical performance, participated in some activities with the Kearns and Jefferson students, and shared the message that college is important.
"I think that Alan's and the choir's enthusiasm and very approachable manners made the assembly not only an inspirational showcase of college-level talent; but it also sent what I felt was a very clear message to the students that "college is a great place to go…you will have amazing experiences and opportunities if you go." That message is so powerful with our students here in Kearns where only 68% of Kearns High School students graduate on time." – Steve Whatcott, Kearns High UWSL Community School Director
Through the power of volunteers, students were able to be inspired, have fun, and learn together.

MOBILE RECORDING ISN'T "WHAT IT ISN'T," by Jeff Tillinghast
"Is it better quality than a DSLR?"
I wanted to test a new iPad video accessory called the Swivl this week, so I set it up in our auditorium for Music Day student performances. The Swivl is a base into which you set your iPad to record presentations and video with two major distinguishing features: first, the base features a rotating motor which tracks a remote held or worn by the presenter via infrared. This device has earned a lot of attention in education and in business by making it very easy to record presentations since the camera will track the presenter and keep them in the center of the frame. I'd tested it in several of our classrooms with student and faculty presentations already, but in the name of curiosity, I was using it in Music Day to test a second unique feature: the remote has a small microphone in it which transmits the audio signal back to the base to record directly into the iPad. Again, for presentations this is a great benefit since it will get clear audio signal from the speaker no matter how far away the iPad is. I wanted to take the notion one step further and record an ensemble from the stage with the remote mic. The ability to put a wireless microphone on the podium, for example, and transmit to a video camera further back in the hall was very intriguing to me.
I was setting the Swivl up in the Auditorium when a student looked at me and asked, "But is it better quality than a DSLR?" I hear variations of this question whenever I talk about mobile-based audio or video recording, and I think it misses the larger question. Certainly the recording quality of an iPad or any tablet or smartphone falls short of a professional-grade rig. Even a dedicated pro-sumer level specialized video camera or a handheld audio device like the Zoom H2 is going to have better input and be designed to process cleaner A/V. For the really important projects, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of a number of single-purpose devices to create superior multimedia. That said, it is surprising the results that can come from smartphone or tablet video and audio with some of the aftermarket accessories that are available. Furthermore, that I believe that these tools have a place in our recording arsenal isn't because they can imitate what they aren't (try and be a professional-grade field recorder, for example), but because of some of the things that make mobile computing so powerful:
Ease of sharing. I don't think this point can be overstated-- the highest quality recordings have very little value if they never get off the recorder. I have stacks of memory cards from projects gone by or rehearsals that I recorded and meant to share, but never took the time to move the files, do any necessary editing or converting, and then think about distributing. Mobile operating systems are built to publish and share content, and can do it in a variety of ways depending on your apps and subscriptions. By the time the audience had left the auditorium, I had created a Google Drive folder shared with our Music Department from the iPad and was uploading the video files to them. Similarly, I could have used Dropbox, or uploaded straight to YouTube or Vimeo if I wanted to publish them externally.
Simplicity. Mobile operating systems are built to be easy to navigate and the devices place a premium on design that's easy to learn quickly. That aesthetic extends to most of the apps available for mobile devices as well: there are many exceptions, but mobile apps generally tend to do one or two specific things and strive to achieve them with a minimal learning curve and amount of user input. This has a flipside in that many of the apps are more limited in their capacity, but when you find a great audio recorder such as Twisted Wave, its simplicity translates to quick setup and learning curve which won't bog users down.
Widespread Adoption. Gadgets are expensive, and none of us have large enough budgets that we want to dominate them with recording technology. By taking advantage of the devices that you, your musicians or your colleagues already own, you can build a range of accessories while not having to purchase single-use devices. In many cases, the app that corresponds to a piece of hardware is provided free from the manufacturer, meaning that you can have many people in your ensemble with the apps on their phones or tablets to allow for sectional or small ensemble recording, or to get help with setting up recording for concerts or events.
In the end, some of the biggest determining factors in the quality of audio or video are external to the recorder no matter what the hardware: lighting is going to make an enormous difference in the quality of video, and my tests for Music Day were hampered by not having the microphone in a good location for the often boomy acoustics in our hall. I gave the Swivl an "incomplete" for recording music via wireless remote, and I'll come back to it in the future with more thought to mic placement. The distinction is significant, though: in this case, I evaluated the device as a way to make capable recordings via iPad because of what that offers (the benefits of mobile computing), not what it doesn't.

More from Daniel Coyle: Tip #32 Make positive reaches
"There's a moment just before every rep when you are faced with a choice: You can either focus your attention on the target (what you want to do) or you can focus on the possible mistake (what you want to avoid). This tip is simple: Always focus on the positive move, not the negative one. . . .
A violinist faced with a difficult passage should tell himself, 'Nail that A-flat,' not 'Oh boy, I hope I don't miss that A-flat.' Psychologists call this 'positive framing,' and provide plentiful theories of how framing affects our subconscious mind."
So, do we ask our choirs to focus on the positive, on the goal? Or do we say, "Watch that pitch, it's a little under?" Demonstrate (play or sing) the correct pitch and make that the focus.
When the ensemble isn't precise, have them count-sing and focus on singing precisely together, then (when the countsinging is together) have every other one count-sing and and the other half sing the text, making sure that the consonants are line up exactly with the count-singing members of the ensemble. Then switch it around.
What are other ways you can make sure your ensemble focuses on the goal, not avoiding a mistake?

FIRST THINGS FIRST, by William McConnell
Every high school journalism student learns a simple formula for the lead paragraph of a news story: Who - What - Where - When - Why - How. Those are the basics. If a reader goes no farther than that first paragraph, he or she has all of the pertinent information contained in the story.
I regularly receive communication from church music leaders and pastors struggling with mandates from governing bodies that translate into some version of "we have decided that we are going to have a contemporary worship service." Some of those mandates come attached to an implicit or explicit message that the leader's continuing employment is contingent on that service's success in addressing whatever problem the governing body is addressing. "How," the church staff members opine, "do we do this?" And, sometimes the most poignant question, "Why?"
My response usually begins with a series of questions. These include "Who is your church?", "What is your congregation trying to accomplish?", and "What need does a contemporary service (whatever that means) fill, that isn't being addressed somewhere else in your congregation's ministry?"
Like the news story, every congregation's identity includes a Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How. Edicts regarding changes in style of worship imposed by congregational governing bodies often skip the first five of the vital components of a congregation's story. Style of worship is a question of How. That is the final question in building the story - not the first. How questions make sense only when Who, What, Where, When, and Why have been thoughtfully considered and conclusions internalized. Only then can questions of How be considered in proper context.

This is Why My Homework Isn't Done by Mike O' Mara SATB a cappella (click for PDF, Audio and Video)
Level: High School
Uses: General Concert Use
Program Themes: High School Life, Choral Comedy
This Piece Would Program Well With: PDQ Bach's My Bonnie Lass She Smelleth available from JWPepper and Sheet Music Plus.
High school directors, let me present your new best friend. Mike O'Mara is the Jonathan Coulton of the Madrigal! He has his finger on the pulse of youth culture and will have your students sharing that life with your audience. It is my opinion that we choral directors do not always have the needs of our audience in mind. We focus on moving the choir to the next level and desire to present masterworks because they are what we know and enjoy. Take a step back and think about what a little humor will do for the parents and families that attend your events. Laughing together builds community.
This is Why My Homework Isn't Done is one of ten modern madrigals written by O'Mara. My personal favorites have texts about why the science teacher must be an alien and why Facebook is keeping you up at night. See videos below. I think you will be seeing more from this composer. Watch the FEED in the Composition Showcase for a chronological list of new entries.

Prothalamia: In Celebration of Marriage for All by Charles Norman Mason and Dorothy Hindman TTBB and Organ (click for PDF and for audio from each movement Kyrie GloriaCredo Sanctus Agnus Dei)
Level: College or higher
Uses: General Concert Use, Marriage Ceremony
Program Themes: Love, Marriage, Equal Rights
This Piece Would Program Well With: David and Jonathan by Stefan Weisman available from the composer.
Do you have a special event, theme or idea that you want set to music? Consider commissioning a composer to realize your purpose. Each work in the Composition Showcase has a link to message the composer. A list of composers is available in the Composers of Choral Music Community.
Prothalamia, which means songs in celebration of marriage, was commissioned by the Empire City Men's Choir of New York City. Though the movements are titled after the movements of the Catholic Mass, the text is far from traditional. Sources include a poem by Gertrude Stein (1910), a paraphrase of John Boswell's Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe and a poem of dedication from Anne Bradstreat (1678) to her husband. The text in the final movement is a description of the marriage of two men in early Rome.
Musically the Credo is the strongest movement and could stand alone excerpted from the larger work. Contrasts in texture, juxtaposed vowel ostinatos and melodic writing add to the strength of the piece.
The work is available from the composer by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com

More from Daniel Coyle: Tip #29 - When you get it right, mark the spot
Coyle: "One of the most fulfilling moments of a practice session is when you have your first perfect rep. When this happens, freeze. Rewind the mental tape and play the move again in your mind. . . . The point is to mark the moment—this is the spot where you want to go again and again."
We can look at this in two ways. When we as a conductor, get something right—a conducting gesture, a tempo, a particular rehearsal technique—we need to do exactly as Coyle says, "Rewind the mental tape and play the move again in your mind." It's one of the ways that we improve, that we incorporate something new into our repertoire of skills.
But it's also true for our choirs. I know when my choirs have accomplished something very difficult that they've struggled with, they need that moment of marking and remembering . . . but it is also something else—the feeling of accomplishment and pride—that I want them to remember. If it's singing a chord beautifully in tune, make sure they realize how wonderful it is, and feels, and help them want to go back to that sensation again and again. My colleague at PLU, Richard Nance, and I used to joke that we should have electrodes implanted in our students' brains, and when they sang in tune, we could push the button to stimulate the pleasure center and say, "Oooh, see how good that feels!"
But the truth is, it's already built into our brains. If we make our singers aware of the pleasure of an in-tune chord, or a beautifully turned phrase, or singing in perfect ensemble—we should freeze it for them, rewind and sing it again, and help them mark that moment so they can go there again . . . and again.
Coyle finishes by quoting Kimberly Meier-Sims of the Sato Center for Suzuki Studies: "Practice begins when you get it right."
And that's something we all have to remember.

CHORAL ETHICS (Part 9): PREACHING TO THE CHOIR by Marie Grass Amenta
"It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching." Francis of Assisi
I receive quite a few emails with people's thoughts about my Choral Ethics project. Some folks tell me they are not exactly sure what Choral Ethics is, but will know it when they see it. Some tell me what I am calling "Choral Ethics" is an old-fashioned concept. Others tell me they have been practicing what I am preaching almost forever. They say no matter what happens around them, they remain true to their values. I've asked five to share their thoughts. These folks "live" their values and choirs see them practice what they preach, but how do they do it? All five have been successful choral professionals upwards of 20 years and have evolved into the core of values they have now by trial and error.
The unifying theme of all five has been cultivation of a "non-drama persona" (my term for it) in order to maintain their values. Three tell me it's was simply a matter of learning how to be a leader, knowing where you want to lead and then leading. The other two confess they were "Drama Queens" in the early days of their careers but have learned to use drama judiciously, using it only when it will do the most good---if someone is always in high dungeon, singers stop listening! All tell me when they began to step back and really think about their own values, their singers and choral programs began to flourish. While we spoke of many other components for achieving a "non-drama persona," three were most frequently mentioned—consistency, planning and not always saying what they think.
All agree some sort of consistency of expectations is important. It is when there is no clear guidelines trouble occurs between singers and directors. If singers know guidelines ahead of time, whether for auditions or absences, things run smoother, and a matter-of-fact approach usually works best. I have learned through my contact with these folks, one size does not fit all and must be custom tailored to work. All five shared their approach to a similar problem, but each solution fits their own situation. Professor L* tells me he expects his university chorus to sing in quartets, no matter their attendance, for their midterm and final exams. He feels it has been a very effective way to grades fairly and his students and the university know what is expected and how the grades are determined. Jazzy* uses number of absences (and weighs the absences with a rubric) as a way of grading at her two year college and has done so for ten years with great success. In the community sector, Alan* allows a certain number of excused absences per concert cycle for his singers. If they exceed, choristers are required to sing for him in private to prove they are prepared. Otherwise, it is suggested they usher for that concert. He's had no problems with this approach, since it is stated very clearly in the chorus' handbook and mentioned several times a concert cycle. Dante* believes everyone in his community chorus should be allowed to sing a concert as long as they've attended a minimum of three rehearsals. Tilly* allows singers in her church choir to sing any Sunday they wish without rehearsal if they've sung the anthem with her before, no exceptions, even for those who have sung the same anthem with her predecessor. This approach has worked very well with her choir, has reinforced the excellence of her music program and all her singers "buy into it."
A long range plan consisting of short range plans has helped cut down on some of the franticness and stress for these choral professionals. Each has told me, when they are sure where they are going, they are able to maintain their "non-drama persona." We are all cranky when we are under time constraints! Planning repertoire, rehearsals and fundraising or outreach opportunities can be time consuming, but the stress reduction outweighs their time involvement several times a year.
All five have mentioned not always saying what they think at times it would be easier to take a cheap shot. This goes for both in rehearsals and out. Perhaps their snarky comments would be fun while they are speaking them, but damage control is never fun. It is simple enough to keep our mouths shut, isn't it?

Using mobile devices to record audio and video offers some great advantages over using a camera alone: editing can be done on device, the built-in networking makes it easy to move or publish the files, and having a large screen makes it easy to review footage on the scene. The built-in camera and microphone in these devices are usually pretty limited, though, and if you want to use mobile devices for recording in the field, you'll eventually want to add to these capacities. There are many after-market microphone add-ons for mobile devices, but to really extend the capacity for recording, there are truly creative solutions such as the Padcaster for iPad. By adding external lenses, microphone connections and the ability to mount other A/V accessories directly to the iPad, the Padcaster moves the iPad beyond its normal level of A/V production into a viable option for high-quality publishable media.
The Padcaster case contains a mount for your iPad which anchors it within a metal frame. By default, it handles the larger iPads (i.e., 2/3/4), but uses an additional liner for the Air. This frame has a variety of screw mounts which allow a variety of attachments, which can use standard tripod mounts or a variety of adapters. While the frame can be purchased alone, the Padcaster Bundle is a starter package which includes a wide-angle lens, a Rode shotgun mic, and an audio adapter to convert the shotgun mic into either Lightning or 30-pin depending on your device. It also includes the Air adapter, meaning the Bundle works for either 2/3/4 or Air. The audio adapter takes a standard 1/4" input from the shotgun mic, so it could be used with a range of microphones depending on the scenario. Similarly, the lens mount receives a variety of widely available lenses, so the wide-angle lens could easily be replaced by something either wider for panorama work, or a zoom lens.
The wide-angle lens provided corrects one of the big limitations of using the iPad for group or area recording: the standard lens works well for portraits or snapshots, but it is often very difficult to get a line or angle which allows you to capture a whole rehearsal or classroom without having to so far away as to compromise the audio recording. The result from using the wide-angle lens is much more flexible and capable of capturing an ensemble or room from a much better distance and angle. In addition, the image actually works very well with the additional lens: I was concerned about distortion or "fisheye" behavior from the combination of a wide-angle lens hanging over the iPad lens, but the image is very crisp and natural. The lens is a great step
The microphone is slightly less appropriate -- as a shotgun mic, it's very directional. The mic is intended to be used when one person is speaking in front of the camera, such as an interview or news report. In an ensemble recording, it will pick up the sound source directly in front of it at a much greater level than sources even a few degrees to either side. This will skew the recorded balance compared with the natural sound one experiences live. Again, the mics are interchangable-- if you have existing area mics or can go out of a board to an 1/8" or 1/4" output, you can connect those systems to the inputs provided in the Padcaster Bundle. The provided input adapter has an adjustable gain control, which allows you to make adjustments depending on the input level and conditions.
The combination of a high-quality audio input and superior lens results in a very good video recording using your iPad-native apps. The resulting files can be easily processed, published or distributed directly from the iPad, and once the hardware is connected there's no additional software learning curve. While the shotgun mic is not optimal for most of our cases, it's not unworkable, simply not optimal. From my brief testing thus far, though, there are a couple of additional considerations. First, this is heavy. Some of the promotional materials advertise a handle and show users filming with handheld units. I wouldn't recommend it-- the case has a tripod mount, and I would plan on having a tripod handy for all uses (and a full-sized tripod at that).
Secondly, the website pictures show a lighting attachment along with pieces of the Padcaster Bundle, but it's not part of the bundle, nor are there any lights available from the vendor. I spoke with the vendor about this, and he said that they plan on adding a standard LED lighting option along with the other accessories linked to from the website. Having their recommendation about lighting acccessories will be a nice touch. For recording in a concert hall, where lighting is already taken care of, an external light is unnecessary. For producing recordings in the field, though, having a light mounted on the frame will really help the image quality. The case has many additional mounting points available even with the microphone and lenses, so an additional mounting clamp and light will be easy to attach, and I may experiment with some external light options in lieu of a recommended option.
The Padcaster options aren't cheap-- for starting from scratch, the cost of the iPad plus Padcaster would be higher than simply purchasing a camera. If you have the iPad and are used to sharing and distributing mobile media, though, this device provides much higher quality audio and video than the iPad alone. I would likely recommend purchasing without the bundle if you have an existing microphone or sound system that you can use in conjunction with the device, as the included shotgun mic is less than ideal for recording an ensemble or concert setting.

More from Daniel Coyle: Tip #27 Close Your Eyes
As Coyle explains, "One of the quickest ways to deepen practice is also one of the simplest: Close your eyes. . . It sweeps away distraction and engages your other senses to provide new feedback. It helps you engrave the blueprint of a task on your brain by making even a familar skill seem strange and fresh."
I realized while reading this that I've asked my choir to close their eyes and sing in the past, but I haven't done it for quite a while. This does several things: as Coyle mentions, it "sweeps away distraction" and makes "even a familiar skill seem strange and fresh." But it also forces the choir to listen much more intensely. They have to listen and use other skills (maintaining an inner sense of pulse) to stay together as an ensemble without watching you conduct (and perhaps you realize you aren't as necessary as you thought! Or better, you can use your gesture more for shape and direction than keeping time).
I do sometimes stop conducting and ask my ensemble to sing without me—I want them to shape phrases independently, to concentrate on subtle details of ensemble, even learning to feel ritards together.
But I'll remember to ask them to close their eyes now and then.

Jerry Zgoda missed the entire Kevin Garnett era, but he's back covering the Timberwolves after working the beat for their first four seasons two decades ago. In between, he covered a bit of everything: Gopher men's and women's basketball and NCAA athletics, golf, outdoor recreation, sports media and a little Vikings and Twins.
Some stuff from Wolves and Blazers' morning shootarounds:
* The Blazers are calling guard Wesley Matthews, who missed Saturday's game against Utah because of a sprained ankle, a game-time decision. But judging how he was moving at the end of shoot, it looks like a good bet that he will play.
* NBA commissioner David Stern will be in town Wednesday for the Spurs game -- 8 p.m. start time for ESPN -- and will meet with the media before the game.
* Wolves forward Dante Cunningham -- a former Blazer, btw -- is coming off that perfect 9-for-9 shooting night in Saturday's blowout victory over New Orleans.
When asked if he had ever had a game like that, Cunningham said, "Yeah, in practice. It happens all the time in practice. It's a totally different beast in a game. It's something new, something I'd like to see again."
I asked him if he felt perfect the rest of the weekend.
"It definitely was a good feeling. You know, the Ravers won, so I was definitely feeling even better about the weekend."
* Wolves forward Lou Amundson said he has been talking with his agent about the very real possibility that he will be traded or waived Friday if the Wolves intend to make room for both Chris Johnson and Mickael Gelabale for the rest of the season.
"It's a business so you have to kind of think ahead," Amundson said. "Whatever happens, just continue to do what I'm doing. Everything's on the table right now. You never like to get traded, but sometimes the situation isn't what you hope to it to be. It can work out for the best sometimes."
* Nic Batum is back in town with the Blazers. He's the guy, you'll remember, with whom the Wolves did that intricate free-agent dance last summer.
The Wolves made that $46 million offer that the Blazers matched and Batum is delivering a season this year that suggests he's worth all that money, averaging 16 ppg, 6 rpg, 5 apg and shooting 36.2 percent from three-point distance.
He laughed when I asked him if he didn't at least send David Kahn and the Wolves a nice fruit basket or at least a thank-you note.
"No, no," he said, "I should, I think."
* Batum got together with old pal and French National teammate Gelabale Sunday night. Both, it turns out, stayed in the same downtown hotel.
He did provide this little tidbit about his friend: When pronounced, Gelabale's surname means, "I got the ball."
* Batum said David Kahn asked him about Gelabale "a couple months ago," probably when the Wolves were in Portland right after Thanksgiving.
* Chris Johnson played 30 regular season games with the Blazers in the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons and still keeps in contact with the handful of players -- LaMarcus Aldridge, Matthrews, Nolan Smith, Luke Babbitt -- who remain there. "But they got a totally new team," he said.
* Batum said he's played with some point guards before -- Andre Miller, Steve Blake, Raymond Felton -- but...
"He's different," Batum said. "He's good, he's very good and he's going to be Rookie of the Year."
That's all from Target Center for now.
We'll see if Saturday's runaway win was an aberration or if the Wolves can keep that winning going against a surprising Blazers team that's fighting for the playoffs with a 24-23 record.

Catt wants England to emulate All Blacks
ESPN Staff
October 26, 2012
Part of the England coaching team pose for the cameras at the launch of the autumn internationals yesterday © Getty Images
England coach Mike Catt wants the team to emulate the All Blacks and develop a ruthless streak to their game.
Catt and the rest of the England staff took in New Zealand's 32-16 win over South Africa in Soweto back on October 6 and they were treated to an All Blacks display which saw them down the Boks four tries to one. The Kiwis were forced to soak up plenty of South African pressure but when they got on the front-foot and got into Springbok territory, they put their southern hemisphere counterparts to the sword.
And Catt, who was speaking at the unveiling of the England squad for the autumn Tests, wants the team to develop a similar outlook to the All Blacks.
"You look at New Zealand and the way they get one opportunity and score it," Catt said. "New Zealand are very good and accurate at what they do. They are on the front foot a lot of the time and they can bring the big guys into the game. Everybody is going to want to get to that situation. It is how we get there and how long it takes us to get there.
"I am not saying it's not there (in the English players) but we have got to get to that, having that belief we can do it. It is about seeing the opportunities and understanding it. That is my role. From an attacking point of view, I want to see speed of the ball and movement of the ball."
England named two uncapped players in their squad for the autumn internationals on Thursday with Saracens' Mako Vunipola and Leicester Tigers' Tom Youngs getting the nod. And the coaching team also opted to recall Wasps' James Haskell and Quins flyer Ugo Monye, who comes into the squad for the injured Ben Foden.
Monye last played for England back in 2010 and coach Andy Farrell hopes to see the Harlequins winger continue his good run of club form on the Test stage. "Ugo has been in great form," Farrell said. "He is hungry to get back to Test level and prove his worth. You can see that with his performances."

Graphical scheme of the experimental plan. Following a step down strategy, six genes from initially 27.686 genes were identified as new gene markers for the RT-qPCR based detection of circulating tumor cells (CTC). In microarray analysis, we compared expression profiles of PBMC isolated by Ficoll gradient centrifugation from healthy individuals and various established cancer cell lines. In microarray validation, we compared expression profiles of PBMC isolated by Oncoquick from healthy individuals and cell lines. cDNA was amplified according to a published protocol [25]. For the experimental analysis of patients samples, we used Oncoquick only. cDNA was amplified using the TargetAmp™1-Round aRNA Amplification Kit.

I am building my portfolio web-site and for it I need to use a reagistration form . On many web sites I have seen pop up registration forms . For example when you click on register button a form pops up (at the same time you remain in the same page ) and you can fill in the forms and submit . So I mean does javascript or jquery have that type of code that i can integrate to my sites code to get that type of pop form .
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Yes, this is done with JavaScript and can be done with jQuery. Here's a bare bones example to get you started: it'll toggle the display for the registration form, but you might want to add some animations in the jQuery or styles/positioning in the CSS.
I would use jQuery UI simply because of it's documentation, support, and features.
Here's a working jsFiddle example of this in action

Check out Juice UI. It wraps jQueryUI stuff up into asp.net server controls. The dialog control is likely what you are looking for.

Customer Reviews for Mozaik Skin and Body (6)
August 17, 2014
Nice Package Deal
I recently got one of the promotional introductory deals, $99 for a massage and a facial. Front desk was very accommodating, and was easy to work with. Johnna did the facial, and we upgraded it to a dermaplanning. Kristina took my massage. Both of the gals were wonderful.
August 9, 2014
Amazing Massage
The massage therapist I saw, Kevin, was very knowledgable. His technique was great, achieving a nice blend between relaxation and deep-tissue. Being an athlete, I know I beat my body pretty bad, but he was able to remove most of the knots from my body. I will be definitely seeing him again.
September 27, 2011
Had an excellent first visit to MozaikSkin & Body having a facial by Erin. Have already made my next appointment.
July 5, 2010
Excellent services...been going for years!
I have been a loyal customer for years! Natalie is "my girl" and she has never lead me in the wrong direction when it comes to skin care and waxing. Mozaik has the best prices in town when it comes to waxing and they always are having some sort of special or first time customer promo! I have talked about this place for years, but when I finally get people to actually show up, they always say I should have went sooner! Support your local establishments! Head over to Mozaik ASAP!
April 3, 2007
Great Place!
Very nice people. Very nice atmosphere!! It was worth the drive!
June 25, 2006
Excellent men's facial
When I first walked into Mozaik I was amazed by the modern style. Being a man, spas many times make me feel uncomfortable because they cater mostly to women. Mozaik is like going into a modern art- deco studio. There is bright contemporary artwork from local artists displayed throughout the facility, and the reception area is comfortable. I watched the Sun's game while I waited for my treatment on their flat screened TV. My treatment was unbelievable. The best I've ever had. The esthetician customized my treatment because I spend a lot of time in the sun. Their staff is good looking, professional, and I highly recommend getting a treatment

Sexy school run! Miranda Kerr shows a hint of bra as she wears skin-tight leather trousers for stroll with son
One thing's for sure, Miranda Kerr isn't your average school-gate mother.
And the model-of-the-moment made sure of it as she vamped it up for a day out with her 21-month-old son Flynn on Friday.
The 29-year-old kept up her sultry image in a pair of skin-tight leather trousers and skyscraper red heels as she wandered around New York with her little one.
Red hot: Model-of-the-moment Miranda Kerr steps out in tight leather trousers for a walk with her son
Wearing a black, chiffon blouse, the model flashed a hint of lacy bra as she leant down to pick up her son during their daytime stroll, proving that you can still be sexy while on mothering duty.
In a bid to add a little mumsy touch to her look, the supermodel wore a chunky red knit cardigan over her top, with the sleeves rolled up.
The flawless star added a pair of large red glasses, in keeping with her colour theme and wore her hair sleeked back into a bun.
Risqué: Miranda shows off a hint of black, lacy bra as she stroll hand in hand with her little one
Model mummy: Miranda looks stylish in a red cardigan and loose-fitting blouse
Doting mum: Miranda makes sure that her son is dressed as stylishly as her
Miranda's little son looked just as stylish as his mother, wearing on-trend Nike high-tops, grey tracksuit bottoms and a patterned jumper.
Clearly taking after his supermodel mum and superstar father, Flynn proved that he was the most stylish tot in New York.
The day before, the mother and son had stepped out for Thanksgiving, and to the little one's delight he was clutching a collection of colourful balloons.
Skin-tight: Miranda shows off her tiny figure in the figure-hugging trousers
Not you average mum: Miranda looks a far cry from the other mothers roaming the streets of New York
Mother and son: The pair look completely in sync as they stroll through the city
Miranda yet again turned the streets of New York into a catwalk as she showed off her killer legs in a pair of skin-tight jeans which she coupled with patterned heels and a classic navy coat
Her grey jumper swamped her tiny frame as her dark hair was pulled back into a simple chic bun and covered her eyes in some perfect sunglasses
Thanksgiving! Miranda Kerr shows off her killer toned legs in the jeans as she takes Flynn out for the day
Son Flynn seemed impressed with the star balloon holder as he wandered down the street with his mother dressed to perfection in some cute jogging bottoms, baseball cap and brightly coloured sneakers.
Flynn's adorable sneakers laces even matched his mother's bright shoes as he held onto his balloons on his day out.
Happy families: Miranda picks up her little one who is still clutching his balloons
Her little fashionista: Flynn looks cute in his outfit during the holidays
Miranda has replaced Kate Moss as the new face of High Street brand Mango. The Victoria's Secret model has been chosen to front the fashion store's spring/summer 2013 campaign.
The Australian, who is married to actor Bloom with whom she had a son, Flynn, will soon appear in Mango's advertising campaign across print, digital and broadcast media as well as adorning billboards with her smouldering look.
Full details of Mango's spring/summer collection as modelled by Miranda have yet to be released but the brand have unveiled two teaser images showing the model during their shoot which took place in New York earlier this month.
Walking on air: Little Flynn seems pleased with his Thanksgiving gift
