Leah Arsenault is Assistant Principal Flute of the National Symphony Orchestra
We'd like to Welcome Leah Arsenault to the National Symphony! Leah won the position of Assistant Principal Flute in June 2014 and has been performing with the NSO ever since. Leah was happy to share more about herself now that she has had time to settle into life in Washington, DC. Be sure to look for her on stage at upcoming NSO performances!
What university or conservatory did you attend?
The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and The Colburn School
Was it for music?
What is your favorite piece (or pieces) to play in the orchestra?
Anything by Brahms or Dvořák.They both have such great writing for wind instruments.
Do you have a pre-concert ritual or routine?
I like to eat a big meal and head to the hall early to focus and calm my mind.
Describe your favorite NSO moment:
This is my first season, so my favorite moment so far would be when I learned I got the job of course!
What are three songs or pieces you love to listen to?
It's hard to choose, but I love listening to Brahms piano trios and and I also really enjoy listening to jazz, especially the old standards.
Did you grow up in a musical household?
Neither of my parents are musicians, but they did require that both my brother and I take piano lessons.
What did you want to be growing up?
With the exception of a few months in the eighth grade when I thought I wanted to be an engineer, I've always wanted to be a musician.
When did you know you wanted to be a professional classical musician?
Though I started out on piano, it wasn't until I started playing the flute that I found my calling in music and knew I wanted to focus on that specifically. It was probably my freshman year of high school that I started to realize that if I worked hard enough, I could really make it a career.
What is your favorite thing about living in the DC area?
People are so friendly here! And it's on the east coast. I'm definitely an east coaster at heart.
Do you have any pets?
I have a three-legged cat named Basil.
What is your favorite way to spend your free time?
There are so many ways! I am crazy about yoga and all things "mind and body" and love to hike and be active outdoors. I also love learning about and eating cheese and baking bread. One of my favorite things is to go out to hear live jazz.
Favorite book:
Current favorite is "Crossing to Safety" by Wallace Stegner.
Name one thing people would be surprised to know about you.
I once catered a friend's backyard wedding for 70 guests. It was one of the most stressful things I've ever done.

On November 13th and 15th Aaron Goldman, Principal Flute of the NSO, will be the featured soloist performing Mozart's Flute Concerto No. 2 in D major with cadenzas commissioned by the NSO from contemporary composer Lera Auerbach. I recently caught up with Aaron in between rehearsals to ask him a few questions about himself and his upcoming performance:
Aaron Goldman, Principal Flute (Photo Credit: Scott Suchman)
How long have you been playing the flute?
I started playing the flute when I was seven. I wanted to start playing when I was six, but my arms weren't long enough to reach the end of the flute. I kept checking back with a local flute teacher every couple of months until I was big enough to play.
Where did you grow up as a child?
In Needham, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston.
And you lived there most of your life as you were growing up?
Yes, I lived there up through college. I left to go to college in Rochester, NY, and have lived in Michigan, then Florida, and now here (Washington DC).
How long have you been a member of the NSO?
This is my 9th season in the NSO; I started in 2006.
If you had to pick one, what would you say you like best: playing as a soloist, a member of the orchestra, or a member of a chamber group?
I would say playing in the orchestra because it encompasses all of those things you mention. As principal flute, I am often called on to be a soloist from within the orchestra, and I consider all orchestral musicians to be chamber musicians. They just have many more people to play with and those people are sometimes far away. I think one of the great joys and challenges of playing in an orchestra is walking the very fine line between leading and following, and always moving in that ambiguous world.
What's your favorite part of your job as a musician?
Collaborating with my fellow musicians; I would say that's the favorite aspect of my job. I find great fulfillment in making music with others.
How long have you been preparing this concerto?
The first time I ever worked on this piece was before my freshman year of high school…through most of my adult life I've worked on the G major (Mozart concerto) because it's usually asked for in orchestral auditions. When they asked me if I would perform a Mozart concerto, I asked to do the D major so that I could go back to it after many years away…I started really working on it over the summer, re-evaluating it for myself, figuring out what it means to me and asking some artistic questions about it. I did most of the memorization in September. My rule of thumb for performing things from memory is to have whatever I'm playing fully memorized at least two months ahead of time. That gives me enough time to live with it to feel like I really know it.
How are the cadenzas in this piece different from the usual cadenzas you have prepared in the past?
There are numerous cadenzas written for this concerto, mostly by flutists. The ones I'll be playing next week were written by Lera Auerbach especially for these performances. I love the idea of Mozart cadenzas written in the style of modern composers. Lera's cadenzas fit perfectly into the Mozart concerto, but they still sound like her.
What's it like to know you will be performing with an orchestra that you are also a member of, as opposed to being the soloist with an orchestra you are not a member of?
Playing with your own orchestra is easier in many ways. You know the people, the hall, and the conductor; there are no surprises. With unknown conductors, you don't know how much freedom you will have…after working over the years with the Maestro I know he is very collaborative. I will feel very comfortable with him on the podium.
How do you mentally prepare right before going on stage?
Leading up to the performance, I imagine I will be in my backstage room doing long tones and flexibility exercises. I want to be as comfortable with the instrument as possible. It calms and centers me to know that I have control of the instrument and helps keeps my nerves from hijacking my focus.
What is your favorite way to celebrate when a performance is over?
I don't really have anything special that I plan to do. I usually like to relax quietly at home and start thinking of the next project.

Emily Heckel is the Program Coordinator for NSO Education.
For its 35th season, the NSO Youth Fellowship Program welcomed 11 new and 17 returning Youth Fellows for a total of 28 students. The Fellows range from 7th to 12th grade and play the violin, viola, cello, bass, harp, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, tuba, and percussion!
These students receive lessons with NSO musicians, participate in side-by-side rehearsals with the NSO, form chamber groups coached by an NSO musician, and perform in master classes and Millennium Stage recitals.
Many of our Youth Fellows have gone on to win positions in orchestras around the country including the orchestras of Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, Houston, Oregon, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Utah, and San Diego, as well as our own National Symphony and Washington National Opera orchestras. One of our most recent grads, Emma Resmini, flute, graduated from our program at the age of 14 to attend the Curtis Institute of Music!
Diego Stine
As program coordinator, I have the pleasure of being in direct contact with the Youth Fellows and their parents on a daily basis. Among my various responsibilities are to communicate details of upcoming activities, program students to play on the Millennium Stage and in master classes, and manage the logistics for all program-related events.
Zola Bridges and Steven Honigberg, NSO Cellist
We have activities scheduled almost weekly from September through June. On average, a Youth Fellow will miss two days of school a month. At the end of this month, the Youth Fellows will come for a day to observe an NSO rehearsal of Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Mozart, participate in a Question-and-Answer Session with Midori, and have a chamber ensemble rehearsal with their NSO coach.
Youth Fellows of 2013-2014 with Joshua Bell
I am very proud of the Youth Fellows' accomplishments, but mostly, I love to interact with them and see firsthand how a young student can become inspired by our NSO and gain lifelong motivation to create beautiful music.

Clara Wallace is the Artistic Coordinator for the National Symphony Orchestra.
Imagine you and four of your coworkers have just been told you'll be working from a bus for the next two months. Everything you need must fit in one large suitcase. You'll work closely with complete strangers in unfamiliar buildings. You'll shower, eat, and nap in those same buildings. When you learn your way around, you'll move to a new city and start over again. Most nights, you'll sleep on a moving bus.
To most people, that sounds terrible! To musicians, it's just another tour – and it's all going to be fine. That's what the rider is for, right?
A Performance/Concert Rider is a document that accompanies the contract made between the venue (often called "Presenter" or "Purchaser") and the performing group (often called "Performer" or "Producer"). It's one-stop-shopping for a wealth of information, from equipment requirements and lighting design to hospitality and complimentary ticket counts.
As Artistic Coordinator, I handle all the hospitality requests found in those riders. Most people have heard the crazy things some artists request, but NSO soloists rarely ask for anything more than bottled water, tea, and bananas.
I keep non-perishable hospitality items in a storage area near my desk, nicknamed the "Bodega." At any given time you can find sewing kits, cans of Coke, Tic-Tacs, hand sanitizer, and at least four different kinds of tea in there!
The Bodega, packed with supplies.
In the weeks before a performance, I make a shopping list and check it against what I already have. Then I plan for things that may be trickier to find. For example, I once needed gluten-free muesli for an artist. I didn't even know what that was! After checking all the local grocery stores, I ended up ordering it from Amazon Prime for next-day delivery. Problem solved!
After I have everything the guest artist needs, I'm responsible for setting up and tearing down the dressing rooms and Green Room for each rehearsal and performance. About an hour before the artist arrives at the Kennedy Center, I take water, towels, and hospitality items down to the Concert Hall backstage area. A typical dressing room setup looks like this:
Most Artists ask for some kind of tea.
If the NSO is hosting a large group, hospitality is often more involved. Here are a few examples of typical "Pops" show grocery carts and Green Room catering. "Pops" shows usually travel with more people than standard Classical, so the shopping lists are much longer. More people to feed!
Juices, granola bars, and lemons: just a few keys to hospitality success!
The Concert Hall Green Room is ready for artists.
During the performance I remain available in case there are any artist needs. A happy artist keeps the show running smoothly! Once the show is over, I assist the artist with any post-concert activities, like receptions or CD signings and help them out to their car. Once this happens, I clean up and go home for some rest before preparing for the next week's performances!
Hinano Ishii is the NSO Operations Intern.
As the 2013-2014 Season comes to a finale, the National Symphony Orchestra salutes seven extraordinary orchestra veterans who have served between 28 and 47 years in the NSO. Marcia Farabee, one of the seven departing members, has played a significant role in the orchestra that is often unrecognized by audiences – the Principal Music Librarian.
Our tireless librarians are the people behind the music making. Marcia, along with our two other librarians Elizabeth Schnobrick and Danielle Wilt, prepare music for the entire orchestra. In addition to acquiring the exact music score, the librarians also mark accurate bowings for strings, transpositions, conductor cuts, page turns, and any other markings required in the orchestra parts. In honor of her retirement, I've asked Marcia if she could share her favorite NSO memories!
1990 NSO Russia TourGrowing up during the Cold War, Marcia never imagined herself going to Russia until the NSO tour in 1990. She recalls the orchestra's concert on the Red Square to be one of the most amazing experiences in her lifetime. Mstislav Rostropovich, or better known as "Slava,"was a Russian cellist and NSO Music Director at the time who was exiled from Russia because of his public oppositions to the Soviet Union's restriction in the arts. This was the first time in decades that Slava conducted in his homeland Russia, making this emotional experience extraordinary for all.
NSO Residency Programs: From Alaska to LouisianaMarcia absolutely loved the NSO residency programs; the orchestra took great pride in making a musical impact on people who may never have the opportunity to hear an orchestra performance again. Working with the states' arts council allowed the musicians to become involved with people at every corner of the United States, which of course came with many stories. When the NSO trombones landed in Barrow, Alaska (the northernmost city in the U.S. Brrr!), they were greeted by a polar bear. At a different residency, people on porches with welcome signs warmly cheered the orchestra as the NSO tour buses pulled into the small-town of Marksville, Louisiana. Marcia expressed, "You see the impact on people, and you know why you want to do this...this was a huge event in their lives."
1988 Touring the MediterraneanIn August of 1988, Marcia remembers the NSO performances in the Acropolis of Athens and Pompei to be "truly amazing." Despite the physical discomfort of the hot weather, the orchestra had a phenomenal time performing in these ancient cities because "it's something that never happens!"
Behind-the-scenesWorking backstage during rehearsals and concerts has given Marcia the opportunity to talk to hundreds of world-class artists and conductors. She finds it fascinating to see the different sides of musicians (on-stage and off-stage) and to gain a glimpse of what makes them who they are. She hopes to preserve this incredible vision vivid in her mind throughout her lifetime.
Marcia plans to continue her contribution to orchestras by providing guidance and creative consulting for small to medium orchestras. Best wishes to you, Marcia, and thank you for your service to the NSO!
Before the first rehearsal of our upcoming 2001: A Space Odyssey (which will be performed by the National Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, July 19th from 8:30 PM at Wolf Trap), NSO's pianist Lisa Emenheiser introduced herself backstage as the "cleaning crew" to conductor Emil de Cou, holding out four or five different kinds of scrubbing brushes.
Normally, people make a trip to Home Depot when they need necessary tools to fix the floors or paint the walls. In Lisa's case, she stopped by her local Home Depot to grab a couple of kitchen and bathroom scrubbing brushes to play on her piano!
The music for 2001: A Space Odyssey includes Atmospheres composed by György Ligeti. This piece calls for the lid to be removed from the grand piano, as the sounds come from bristles sweeping the strings inside. Two pianists, each standing on opposite sides of the top-less piano, will reach over to draw the various types of bristles across specific parts of the strings.
The Scotch-Brite Hand and Nail brush, which often comes in handy for cleaning dirty sinks, is used in the upper register to create high pitch noises. Scrubbing brushes are not the only equipment used on the piano strings at this concert. Lisa and guest keyboardist, Eric Schnobrick, also sweep cloth on the lower-middle strings to create the quiet yet spine-chilling sound, and jazz rakes to produce the loudest sound effect.
Who knew that house cleaning products can be used to play instruments! Our pianists are thrilled to play with the various Home Depot gears in the music Atmospheres as used in the ground-breaking 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Audiences will enjoy the National Symphony Orchestra's live performance while watching the enigmatic and compelling film on an enormous screen at Wolf Trap. Before the performance, join us in celebrating the 45th anniversary of Apollo 11 moon landing with NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin and our conductor Emil de Cou at a free discussion event from 7pm on the Associates Deck!

Playbill note by Emil de Cou, NSO at Wolf Trap Festival Conductor
Prepare to watch one of the greatest silent films ever made. Or rather, four of them to be precise, each an elaborate chapter of the past and the future as envisioned by two unlikely collaborators: Stanley Kubrick, a New York born film director who made his home in England, and Arthur C. Clarke, an English-born science fiction writer who made his home in Sri Lanka.
I say "silent" because there is precious little spoken dialogue in this two and a half-hour film. There are animal grunts, a bit of space station chit-chat, and some memorable dialogue between a computer named Hal and an astronaut named Dave, but for the most part 2001: A Space Odyssey is a sensual journey. Desolate landscapes, planetary events, spaceship trajectories and kaleidoscopic worm holes are the stuff of this cult feast of iconic imagery.
No less iconic is the score, which, like the screenplay, is more collage than narrative. Kubrick originally commissioned a full score from the great Hollywood composer Alex North, but when studio executives anxiously requested to see early previews of the film, Kubrick swapped in classical masterpieces at the last minute. He liked what he heard, and the rest is music history: Richard Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra became synonymous with celestial phenomena, along with Johann Strauss II's Blue Danube Waltz, György Ligeti's Atmosphères, and Aram Khachaturian's Suite from the ballet Gayane. As Disney did with Fantasia, Kubrick mined the classical repertoire for its ineffable ability to communicate timeless human emotion: fear, hope, love, loss and the stuff that dreams are made of.
Though words like "epic," "classic," and "cult" are often used to describe 2001: A Space Odyssey, it is at its core a rather disjointed four-act play. In Act One ("The Dawn of Man") early hominids are disturbed by the emergence of an unidentifiable alien object. In Act Two ("TMA-1") we join a space journey that hints at further disruptions in the cosmos Act Three ("Jupiter Mission") is the core of the film, with its chilling encounter between man, as portrayed by the peerless Keir Dullea, and computer, played by the deadpan-voiced Hal. Act Four ("Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite") brings us to the outer limits of time and space, enrapturing us with the curious face of the Space Child.
Should you seek coherence and meaning between these four chapters, don't look to Kubrick or Clarke. In numerous interviews after the film's 1968 premiere, and in decades afterwards, they eschewed explanation, allowing the film to speak for itself. Meanwhile, sociologists, anthropologists, poets, philosophers, college students and all manner of armchair filmmakers have analyzed every frame. A sequel, 2010: Space Odyssey Two, helped clear up a few plot lines (like why Hal went bonkers), but much is, and will always be, left to the imagination.
Kubrick and Clarke were themselves cult figures in their respective genres, but with 2001 they influenced multiple generations of filmmakers, whose work often directly or indirectly pays tribute. The Alien, Star Wars, Star Trek, Matrix, and Terminator series all borrow heavily from2001 in their mythological battles and classical music scores. When I see Dave playing chess with Hal, I think of Matthew Broderick in War Games. When I see Dave winding down a colorful wormhole I think Jodie Foster in Contact. When Dave crosses through a revolving corridor I think of Julia Roberts in Helix, the film within the film Notting Hill. Last but not least, is the terrifying spacewalk, brilliantly re-imagined by Sandra Bullock in Gravity.
Though 2001 is, on the surface, a story of technology, it is at its core a human story: the thirst for knowledge and the discovery of the unknown, with all its comedic asides. It's hard not to laugh as we watch 1960s "mod" stewardesses attempting to defy gravity, while space travelers watch movies on seatbacks and Skype birthday greetings home. Eating is always a challenge, as is the, a-hem, other essential function: Kubrick winks by showing us the Zero-Gravity Toilet. And of course there is the growing sense of entitlement in the voice of Hal who, anxious about his imminent demise, advises Dave to "take a stress pill."
If you are wondering why the amazing Keir Dullea, who plays Dave, seems so familiar, and yet so forgotten, well, to an extent he is and was: a well-regarded stage actor before and after 2001, he never again achieved the stature of such a leading role in film. His quiet beauty and controlled anguish carries the film ― much of the movie is just him, a disembodied voice and the camera. Perhaps his range was limited, perhaps he had a lousy agent, but most likely, as with Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates in Psycho, the actor and character became irrevocably, indelibly fused.
Considering how much film-with-orchestra has become an essential part of our summers together with NSO at Wolf Trap, it comes as a surprise that this concert this is the NSO debut of this production, presented by arrangement with Warner Bros., Southbank Centre London, and the British Film Institute. How wonderful that this timeless space odyssey can now become part of our summer under the stars!
Emil de Cou is the NSO at Wolf Trap Festival Conductor
Witty exchanges among composers are as rare as they are apocryphal. Rare, because composers, cooped up in their studies with music forever running through their head, much of which will never be heard outside their imagination, are generally not the life of a party; what barbs they deliver are often at each other and at an ungrateful world. And apocryphal because they are handed down so many times that their accuracy becomes diminished. Still, the oral history of classical music is filled with as many ripostes as there are notes.
Among my favorites is the exchange that reportedly occurred between the great French composer Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) and the great American composer George Gershwin (1898-1937) while Ravel was touring America in 1928. Gershwin expressed an interest in studying with Ravel, to which the Frenchman replied: "Why would you want to be a second-rate Ravel when you are already a first-rate Gershwin?" When Ravel inquired as to how much money Gershwin earned, the reply provoked him to say, "Perhaps I should be studying with you!"
Money may not be the measure of success for a composer, but if there was a Forbes list of the richest composers all three of this concert's composers would be near the top; all enjoyed the fruits of their labors while alive. Ravel's success was perhaps the most surprising. Repeatedly rejected by the musical establishment ― denied medals and prizes, forced out of conservatories ― he ended up usurping all of his peers in popularity. Boléro is one of the most frequently performed works in the repertoire, as are La Valse, Rapsodie espagnol, Daphnis et Chloé, his masterful orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, and the two piano concertos, one of which we will hear performed by the masterful young (well, younger than me) pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet under the baton of our wonderful friend of the NSO, Andrew Litton.
Ravel's popular success goes beyond profitability: his deft orchestration and sparing use of instrumental colors up-ended the heavy-handed Germanic styles that dominated the orchestral world in the late 19th century. Like his French peers Chabrier, Satie, and Debussy, Ravel infused the classical music world with an impressionistic less-is-more aesthetic that broadened the palette of composition. We owe as much of what we love about music ― not just in the concert hall, but in the musical theater, standards, jazz and even pop arrangements ― to Ravel's elegant simplicity as we do to Bach's structure and Wagner's bombast.
That this program matches a French composer and a French pianist should not be considered favoritism. Ravel, born of Basque and Swiss heritage, mined sources from Moscow to Harlem. You'll have no trouble detecting the jazz infusions in the Piano Concerto in G major. Thibaudet is equally at home with Gershwin and Grofé as he is with the standard repertoire with the world's major orchestras. You can also hear his playing in Dario Marinelli's film scores for Pride and Prejudice and Atonement, the latter of which is the most brilliant use of the typewriter as a musical instrument since Leroy Anderson's The Typewriter.
Gioachino Rossini's Overture to William Tell, lassoed by The Lone Ranger, became an American standardthrough no fault of its own. As the theme music for an adventure show that passed effortlessly from radio to film to television, the staccato "March of the Swiss Soldiers" was a logical accompaniment to hoof beats in pursuit. That a tuneful work by Rossini (1792-1868) permanently entered our musical vocabulary should really not come as a surprise: at a time when opera was mainstream entertainment, Rossini was the most popular composer alive. And prolific and enduring too: though his cantatas and sacred works are rarely performed today, ten of his 39 operas remain in the standard repertoire of major opera houses. Alas, his most famous work, The Barber of Seville, was also co-opted by another hero of popular culture, Bugs Bunny.
We conclude the evening with Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4, the triumphant achievement of the louder-faster-higher school of Russian music. Though received with mixed reviews, in part because of its programmatic rather than formal structure, it remains a staple of the concert hall and the recording resume of every major conductor and orchestra.* Urgent, romantic and poetic, in it Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) struggles to maintain to the traditional German sonata architecture of a symphony, but inevitably spills from the head into the heart.
From France and Italy and Russia, with love.
*The NSO recorded it under its third music director, Antal Dorati, in 1972.
Emil de Cou is the NSO@Wolf Trap Festival Conductor
Back in ye olden days, before video devices made us controllers of our content ― when "content" meant "happy" and "controller" had nothing to do with gaming ― we were not nearly as hapless and helpless as today's young'uns think we were. We may not have been able to micro-manage our daily entertainment by the micro-moment, but we had wise men and women of exceptional taste who created and curated entertainment on our behalf.
Walt Disney was such a creator/curator. He created, with the assistance of brilliant artists, completely original works that synthesized image and sound, establishing a canon of animated and live-action films that are as much a part of the psychic bookshelf of young minds as the works of the Brothers Grimm or Rudyard Kipling (each of whom he borrowed from unabashedly). And he curated his wares with a keen business sense, knowing which cities would be best for premieres, how often to re-release his films to whet the public appetite, and how and when to ignite the power of theme parks and new technologies to extend the Disney brand.
It's impossible to say objectively which is Disney's "best" animated film, because there are so many to cherish, from his first major feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (1938) to Frozen (2013). But without question, the most influential Disney film for those of us in the classical music field ― the one that helped set me on my professional path ― is Fantasia. No, I didn't see it when it first premiered in 1940 in my home town of Los Angeles, but I did see it as a lad in short pants in the 1970s during one of its regular re-releases. With its mixture of avant-garde and slapstick, the film charmed common folk and critics at its debut and entranced this gawky kid thirty-something years later. In an era before MTV or VH1 or YouTube, the idea that you could be immersed in a wonderful world of color and characters and symphonic music was transporting.
Fantasia has been edited and enhanced for various editions, but I clearly remember my first viewing. Deems Taylor, the esteemed classical music critic and commentator, came up on the screen to introduce the program. (I thought he was Walt Disney; I was wrong.) Then the great conductor Leopold Stokowsky ascended an immense podium. (I thought he was God; wrong again, but closer.) Then the giant shadows and blast of instruments brought Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor to life. The shock of that opening sequence never wears off, especially when I realize now how bold such aesthetics were at the time: in 1940 the public had barely accepted cubism and abstract expressionism in the fine arts, and here Hollywood, with its obsessive focus on the populist bottom line, embraced it fully. (And this was 15 years before The 5,000 Fingers of Doctor T, my second favorite psychedelic film!)
Tonight we hear a mash-up of selections from the original Fantasia, as well as the sequel produced sixty years later, Fantasia 2000. Deems Taylor and Leopold Stokowski have been replaced with a cavalcade of contemporary comics, and we begin not with my beloved Bach Toccata but with the mighty Fifth Symphony of Beethoven, envisioned in a series of thunderous shapes and colors, in homage to the original Bach overture. From there our parade of masterpieces unfolds: a mythic tableau of centaurs, cupids, and fauns gamboling to Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 ("Pastoral") followed by delicate figurines moving in colorful formation to the lush melodies of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite." Debussy's Clair de lune, with its lone egret soaring in the moonlight, was cut from the original Fantasia but has since been restored.
Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours, with hippos in tutus, is pure cotton candy, but the dark cartoon that follows, Dukas' The Sorcerer's Apprentice, reminds us that not all fables have a happy ending: our beloved Mickey Mouse reaches too far in his pursuit of magic powers and ends up awash (quite literally) in a nightmarish comeuppance. We end the evening in grand style, with majestic selections from Sir Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance, starring Donald Duck as an unlikely ship's mate to Noah, of Ark fame.
A conductor often becomes immersed in the score to the point of distraction, especially when leading an ensemble as great as the National Symphony Orchestra, and even more so when the breeze of a summer evening swirls around the Filene Center. But for me few musical experiences are as distracting ― perhaps transporting is the better word ― as Fantasia. With its twists and turns from merry to scary, from high art to buffoonery, from magic to majestic, it is not just a synthesis of music and film. It is a journey.
Won't you join me?

1999 Honda Civic VP 4dr Sedan
I was a mechanic previously. I bought a 1999 Civic new when I worked as a process server in Boston MA. I drove 200 mi per day for the first year. I got in a total accident with 2,400 miles on the car and the insurance wouldn't replace it. They paid more than new car price fixing it. I kept it. It now has 230k mi. Not only have I never had problems with it, as a mechanic I do my own maintenance. It is the easiest car I have ever worked on. Front brakes take me 15 minutes. The only work that was at all difficult for me was timing belt (the crank pulley bolt is hard to get loose.) With 230k miles I still only have to change oil (synthetic every 5 to 8k miles) never need to add oil!

I have used this car for a commuter car and put over 100k on it in the last 3 years.
It now has 210k on it, it has been bullet proof.
A couple minor things go wrong but for a 13 year old vehicle you can't beat it.

1999 Honda Civic DX 4dr Sedan
It was my very first car in high school and it has been in the family since my dad bought it brand new. This car was probably the best car I have ever owned! The vehicle is so reliable that you have to try really hard to destroy these things. The seats are so plush and so comfortable, if I ever buy a car with cloth seating, it would be that car! The gas mileage is also quite impressive on these cars. Why I ever got rid of it, I will never know.

I have owned Honda Civics for 13 years.
My first one was a 1990 and now I have the 1999, which I have owned for 8 years.
It is a Civic LX automatic.
The mileage I had on it when I got it was 70,000.
Now there are 150,000.
I have spent more money on repairs for this car than the 6,500 it cost to purchase it.
I am angry at the car for this purpose.
At least three times something caused me to break down in the middle of the road.
I have treated it well and it has not been reliable.
I would love to sell it just because of the frustrations I have had over the years.

1999 Honda Civic DX 2dr Coupe
The 6th gen Honda Civics have supreme reliability, and good gas mileage (http://www.fuelly.com/driver/danwat1234/civic). It does as well or better than my mother's 2012 Elantra! I am the 3rd owner and has 226,000 miles on it, mostly highway. Automatic 4-speed transmission, d16y7 engine. The coolant system has a very very slow leak it in it somewhere but everything else is absolutely perfect with this car.
Supreme reliability, great suspension, handles really good after installing a rear sway bar and 205/50/R16 tires.
I love that this car is so versatile. I plan on installing a trailer hitch so I can tow small trailers with this car too! This car has supreme usefulness.

As you read this, please keep in mind that this was my second vehicle and I purchased it from an individual who bought it new from the dealership. When I purchased the vehicle in 2010 the guy handed me a grocery bag full of receipts from all of the maintenance he had to do while he owned it - red flag #1. 2 years later I have had to replace the exhaust manifold and the radiator. Also, the air conditioner is broken and I refuse to fix it for $900. I'm pretty sure it eats spark plugs and wires because I've replaced them twice. It sounds terrible when I'm driving on the highway, shaking & whatnot. However I do drive it a lot and I have put about 40k miles on it and I also get 35-40MPG.

This was an amazing car, we bought it in 2000 with 15,000km on it, so it was basically new. It's a 5-speed manual gas millage was amazing. We only changed the breaks and the oil on it, and the only problem we had was the gauge light would come on for no reason but we got it fixed which cost use 35 bucks$!!. Well it's one of the most reliable cars we've ever had, gas millage is amazing. We got rid of it this year because we dint need it anymore it was more of a spare vehicle for use. We got ride of it with 277,500km on it, and there was only a little rust on it. I could of kept it but it served no more use for use since it was a bit old as well.

keep in mind the car is cheap it's not a bmw or Mercedes I was a senior in high-school when i got this car I really needed a car for my work rides and college. NC doesn't have public transportation. I bought this car 2008 it had 110k on it now it has 140k on it and i absolutely
don't regret buying it i only spent money on normal
maintenance. it drives really nice and the interior compared to similar cars in it is class is far better i don't think there is a car that can beat that civic 1999-2000 too bad though they had it for 2 years. I'm giving this one to my younger brother since he will need it soon too.

1999 Honda Civic EX 2dr Coupe
now i understand this car is about value and all,
but boy is it cheap.
Rattles every little bump i take, power windows hardly roll down anymore, awful noises when starting in cold (dealership and mechanic can't target the problem).
I can barely hear a passenger when driving on the highway.
I wish my I didn't replace my 93 acura...

I drove this car for almost 13 years and still going strong. This car is reliable, easy to maintain and still looks great.

What a beautiful place, especially during the week when there are almost no people! Agree, much more enjoyable to stay in a hotel under the stars (by the sea!) than in a 5 stars hotel :)

Leland Tea CoEdit Company
Popular Teas from Leland Tea CoSee All 19 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
This tea has been on my wish list for years. My daughter, Superanna, was super sneaky and used my wish list to birthday shop for me, and she is letting me have one tea each time we see each other even though my birthday isn't here yet.
Doulton's and other's reviews made me want this. All I can say is…they were right.
Daughter smelled it and it smells like Christmas without smelling like Christmas flavors or Christmas trees. I see another review with Christmas sentiments on here, so she got that pretty much dead on.
But I don't think of Christmas with this tea myself. I think of…Bogart, and his ilk. Youngest is in love with the 40's and a few weeks ago we listened to The Friends of Mr. Cairo by Jon and Vangelis and then watched The Maltese Falcon.
When I drink this tea, I can smell Bogart's cologne, and feel the stubble of his five o'clock shadow on my cheek. There is a hint of a pipe that had cherry tobacco in it – maybe he was smoking before I arrived.
Daughter says, "Tastes like cigarellos, trench coats, and subtle sexism." And she hasn't
even tried it yet! She did like the smell, though.
Something about it reminds me of roasted oolong, like a Da Hong Pao. I know that is the touch of Lapsang with the hazelnut. This is a blend that everyone who likes light smoke or roasted flavors should try at some time.
Thank you, Superanna!
I had heard about it. I have read about it. I have seen some of your reviews when you were "under the influence." But last night was the first time it actually happened to me.
I often feel very peaceful, happy, calm, contented, or otherwise positive when drinking tea. Jasmine and such make me relaxed. Tea with friends makes me happy. But last night I had my first tea drunk.
We had a lot of tea, sort of by accident. Someone came to Writers' Group and stayed and then someone else came in, and I offered tea and…well, tea happened. We had jasmine green going for the young folks but the more seasoned ladies were in the kitchen with the aroma cup and a gong fu and that's where it all began.
We started with Ginger Lily Oolong from Teaave. We went to Rishi Wuyi Oolong so they could see the difference between the two types. Then we had Bogart, to see how the flavorings in the black somewhat mimic the flavor of a roasted oolong.
Then this. And next thing I knew I was a little giggly and had a goofy smile on my face (I could feel it) and some things that sounded really hysterical in my brain but at the same time were not really sensible to say at the time were trying to get out of my mouth. Fortunately, I thought, "Wow, so this is what tea drunk feels like or else it is late and I am super sleepy and I am going to crash in a few minutes."
And then it was over. I was still happy and having fun, but my brain was no longer going, "HEY! DO YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE REALLY FUNNY RIGHT NOW?"
What can I say? They loved the puerh, made MY WAY and not by the horrible instructions on the website that resulted in a cup of nunchucks. One TEASPOON per 8 ounces for me, please. And a short steep. Then you have a lovely, earthy, possibly high-inducing cup.
Made this by the pot today using their recommendations. Not doing that again. This was great last night – five or six steeps, in an eight ounce pot with one tablespoon of leaf and eyeballing the color for time.
I used two tablespoons for my 18 ounce Stump pot, which is less leaf than they called for. I steeped four minutes and I am left with a bitter black puerh. I don't think I have ever had a puerh get too bitter to enjoy, or too dark, as I have some that I like inky black. This one I can't handle, though. I am going back to my own steeping parameters where this tea is very enjoyable! This pot will easily be saved by putting it in a different container and diluting it by about half. Resteeps will be kept extremely short.
I went to Raleigh to pick up ChelseaR's dogs as she goes on a trip. I picked up her key from my daughter who let me choose one tin from my birthday stash, but I wasn't allowed to see the labels. I decided on the tin with the silver bow even before I knew it was puerh.
Hubby and I shared it tonight. I didn't know what to think about their instructions – a TABLESPOON of leaf for eight ounces of water. And four to five minutes steep in boiling water! I followed their instructions on leaf but not time and had very satisfactory results.
I thought the tea would be black as pitch with so much leaf. I didn't time it but kept an eye on the color of the steep. It was dark, but not pitch like some I have had. I thought at first that meant that it wasn't going to resteep well, but it did.
The verdict tastewise is – no fishy, no horse poopy, mostly earthy with a high almost metallic note, which I love. Perhaps that is the camphor sometimes mentioned with puerh because it is almost a minty coolness. It has a great round mouthfeel, full flavored and medium bodied. I am pretty excited to see what those other two Leland Tea tins hold!
This is basically my "little black dress" of teas: elegant, classy, and suitable for any occasion. Fitting, given the name, no?
It was the perfect tea to fill my thermos with for a day of kayaking to see the Autumn leaves. Just finished the still warm-ish last bit 14hours after filling it!
Used my new variable temp kettle and double-walled tumbler with screen to brew up a scoop of this. It seems like one that wouldn't get bitter, and so far I'm right.

Pictures of my potager (last Summer)
Here are some pictures of my potager taken last Summer.
I have incorporated some perennials flowers with my herbs. On one picture you can see black eyed susan with marjoram in bloom. I have a beautiful grapevine growing on my garden shed and this year hopefully will be building a structure for the vine and it should be quite nice just beside the potager.
Wow, those are beautiful, anicee-what do you have planned for this year? Last year, the plant that surprised me was vietnamese cilantro, it grew to be a 3' shrub & only gave in after a severe frost-it looked great next to a rose bush-Crown Princess Margarete. I also had good luck w/ agastache, rue, & salvia, until frost.
Thank you!
The grape is called VALIANT and is doing extremely well here in zone 5a. It gives big juicy dark blue grapes.
This year will have my tomato plants as usual...lots of herbs again. I have some perennial herbs but also cultivate every year annual herbs such as coriander and basil. Will also have some zucchini, lettuce and spaghetti squash I think.

Proper survey needed to know the exact number : officials
Though Gujarat banned manual scavenging in 1992, the inhuman practice still continues in the State.
Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment Ramanlal Vora has admitted that the practice is still prevalent and that various agencies are still trying to determine the exact number of people engaged in it.
At a workshop on manual sanity workers in Gandhinagar, Principal Secretary of Social Justice and Empowerment Sanjay Prasad and his counterpart in the Urban Development G.R. Aloria virtually conceded that the government did not have any exact data. Both the officials insisted that a proper survey needed to be done.
Going by Census 2011 data, which organisations working for the Dalits in Gujarat as well as elsewhere in the country have challenged, there are 2,566 households in the State where night soil is removed by hand and in 4,800 by animals like pigs and stray dogs.
"The entire methodology followed is flawed. For, the numbers do not reveal just exactly how many people are involved in this work," pointed out Martin Mcwan of Navsarjan Trust which has been working on this issue since 1997. He said that when the Trust was started in 1997, there were 32,000 people engaged in manual scavenging. "By the government's own admission at a function in May 2007, there are 64,000 of them now," Mr. Mcwan added.
The story is no different across the country, which has officially, over 1.15 lakh people occupied in this work. According to Bezwada Wilson, convenor of the Planning Commission's sub-group on 'safai karmacharis' (sweepers), this figure is fictitious for no proper national survey has been done so far.
A survey conducted by Wilson's organisation, Safai Karmachari Andolan (SKA), across nine States revealed that there are at least 13 lakh manual scavengers in the country. But he said the number would be much more.
It was the SKA's petition in the Supreme Court in 2003 which forced the State governments to start some action in 2007.
Way back in 1993, the Employment of Manual Scavengers and Construction of Dry Latrines (Prohibition) Act was enacted providing for imprisonment up to one year and a fine of Rs. 2,000 or both for offenders.
Mr. Mcwan and Mr. Wilson told The Hindu that actual rehabilitation is yet to take place. Officially, some 11,653 people had been resettled, but, Mr. Mcwan said: "No rehabilitation in the true sense has been done. Loans had been extended to construct homes; so this is some kind of a usual government scheme and not rehabilitation."

This place was recommended by the hotel staff at Makymillian. It was a great choice. Atmosphere, staff and food = excellent visit. The best ever lasagne. Just wish I had ask for the recipe. Well worth a visit.
Been twice now and both time the pizzas have been great, nice and fresh with a good tomato pizza sauce. The place is small and cosy. Only gripe so far was that the Prosciutto pizza didn't have what i'd call real prosciutto, otherwise very enjoyable and will more than likely return.

How to get sink against right wall with baseboards in the way?
I have the Kohler Persuade vanity with matching sink, which will go in the right corner of my very small (5x7) bathroom. I would like the sink up against the right wall, but cannot with the porcelain tile baseboards in the way as the sink sides are flush with the vanity legs. The bathroom guy suggested cutting the BBs where the legs would go, but I don't think this will look good. I'm pretty sure he means to do a straight cut, i.e., a 90 degree angle to the front side of the BB, then put the cut edge against the leg. First, there's no way to get this cut perfect, so there'll be a gap between the BB and the leg and second, even if there was no gap, I think it would look weird to have something against and therefore partially covering the leg. If the baseboards were wood, I would cut the BB at a 30 degree (or less) angle to the front side so that as the BB approaches the vanity leg, it recedes to a point for a more seamless look, maybe even sand it so you don't see any angle. I don't know if you can do this with porcelain and if so, what tools you would use? My bathroom guy resists doing any extra work and always manages to find a reason why he can't, so I'd like to be specific in whatever I propose to him. I am not looking for perfection and really only care about the front side of the front right leg as the only visible spot so it is not even a ton of extra work, but I know he will push back anyway. Any advice on my suggestion, or a better suggestion, would be greatly appreciated!
Metal vanity legs and porcelain baseboard tile, neither wants to give way to the other.
Would you consider removing in-the-way the legs completely?
1) Remove the offending legs, cut them off where they meet the bottom edge of the vanity carcass.
2) Properly place and support the vanity so it's up against whatever wall(s) it's supposed to be up against.
From the inside of the vanity, screw through the side(s) of the vanity and through the drywall, into the wall studs.
You want the screw to go no deeper than 1-1/4" into the stud, so about 2-1/2" deck screws would be a good starting point for screw length. Adjust the length as needed.
For our hall bath and MB, the vanities/sink tops were installed flush against the side walls. DH then installed the base molding from door molding up to the front vanity leg, and then installed another piece behind the leg (up to the back leg). It appears as though the vanity leg is fitted into the molding.
(DH fileted or ripped down the base molding for the bathrooms because our base molding throughout the house is thicker than the width of the vanity legs)
We were able to do this because the molding went in last, after the rooms were completed, and you should be able to do the same with the tile BB, cutting the tile to fit.
For already installed wood molding, it should come off ok if you're careful. Then just make your cuts, sand it all down, paint it, install it, fill in nail holes, and touch-up as needed. Voila!
Hi everyone, thanks for the suggestions! I am going to propose to my bathroom guy cutting down the baseboards with a tapered cut using a multi tool (I thought I saw his lying around) as it sounds like the simplest solution. He decided not to come today (that's another story) so I'll have an update tomorrow.
Cat_mom: Is the fit of the vanity leg and the molding seamless and if so, how was your husband able to achieve it? Also, what does "filet" or "rip" mean with respect to the molding? I am wondering if this is something that applies to my situation.
Thanks again, everyone!
DH had to make our base molding "thinner" because it would have stuck out from the wall too far, not only for the vanity legs (would have stuck out past the leg), but it was also too thick too fit behind the toilet in one of the bathrooms. He just sliced the boards (molding) using his brother's or our friend's table saw or something (much like slicing a piece of chicken, or meat, or fish into thinner pieces).
The fit isn't seamless, but it's a pretty snug and clean fit. No taper, just cut straight, and smooth--the base molding runs right up to the leg, then stops. The leg is a little wider/thicker than the molding (after the molding was cut-down), so a sliver of the leg sticks out past the molding, and the leg itself looks like it is fitted into the molding.
Best pic I have for you:
Sorry for taking a while to update on this, our bathroom/kitchen renovation was being finished up - it is done! - and it was so crazy hectic! Now my work begins, where I do all the little things I asked to be done that were not, such as resealing the marble shower tiles, caulking the whole shower area (they only grouted!), fixing drywall, etc. But I am so relieved, so happy, to have my home back, that nothing could bother me!
As to the original issue, well, it turns out that all the pondering was for naught. It turns out our bathroom walls are not square so with the sink/vanity up against the back wall, there is a gap on the right side that widens as you move towards the front. Here, the gap is large enough for the baseboard to be passed behind (to the right of) the front leg. It is narrower towards the back, where the baseboard was cut and butted up against the back leg. Not pretty, but no one will see it (except me, when I'm cleaning). Unfortunately, there is still the gap between the sink and right wall and we're not sure what to do about it at this point. Anyway, this is on the backburner for now, I am just going to enjoy how much nicer everything is and be happy! Thanks again to everyone for all of your ideas!
I was lucky -- the legs on my vanity were screwed in to the wood bottom, and when my GC and I were staring at it when this same issue arose, I was the one who came up with the solution! We just moved the legs a few inches in from the back edge of the vanity bottom.

Bezos is gaining control of the Post from the Graham family, which has led it for decades.
"Everyone at the Post Company and everyone in our family has always been proud of The Washington Post -- of the newspaper we publish and of the people who write and produce it," Washington Post Company CEO Donald Graham said in a statement.
"I, along with [Post CEO and publisher] Katharine Weymouth and our board of directors, decided to sell only after years of familiar newspaper-industry challenges made us wonder if there might be another owner who would be better for the Post," Graham said.
"Jeff Bezos' proven technology and business genius, his long-term approach and his personal decency make him a uniquely good new owner for the Post."
Bezos, who is acquiring the paper in his personal capacity and not through Amazon.com, said in the statement that he understood "the critical role the Post plays in Washington, DC and our nation."
"Our duty to readers will continue to be the heart of the Post," he said.
Bezos has asked Weymouth to stay on as publisher and CEO of the Post, and Martin Baron to remain as executive editor. He said in a memo to employees that he would not be leading the newspaper day-to-day.
The Post Company will change its name as part of the transaction, though a new name has yet to be announced. Shares rose 5.5% in after-hours trading Monday.
The deal also includes the Express newspaper, The Gazette Newspapers, Southern Maryland Newspapers, Fairfax County Times, El Tiempo Latino and Greater Washington Publishing.
The Post Company will maintain its ownership of media titles including Foreign Policy magazine, online magazine Slate and TheRoot.com, as well as education company Kaplan. It will also hold onto real estate assets including the Post's headquarters in downtown Washington, as well as cable operator Cable One and the Post-Newsweek network of television stations.
Among the Post Company's largest shareholders is Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, which held roughly 23% of its common shares as of March. Buffett himself served on the company's board until 2011.
The Grahams control the company through their holdings of Class A stock.
Bezos, whose net worth Forbes pegged at $25.2 billion as of March, invested earlier this year in the financial news site Business Insider. He also founded commercial space flight company Blue Origin.
Bezos wrote in his memo to Post employees that the paper "will need to experiment" in the years to come, adding that he was "excited and optimistic about the opportunity for invention."
"The Internet is transforming almost every element of the news business: shortening news cycles, eroding long-reliable revenue sources, and enabling new kinds of competition, some of which bear little or no news-gathering costs," he wrote.
"There is no map, and charting a path ahead will not be easy."
The news follows the New York Times Company's announcement just days earlier that it had sold the Boston Globe for $70 million to sports magnate John W. Henry. Digital news company IBT Media, meanwhile, announced on Saturday that it had acquired the rights to current-affairs magazine Newsweek for an undisclosed sum.
For most of its 80-year history, Newsweek was owned by the Washington Post Company, which eventually sold it to audio industry pioneer Sidney Harman in 2010. It was later sold to media firm IAC, which abandoned the magazine's print edition last year.
CNN's Poppy Harlow contributed reporting.

Cristhian Lagos struck twice as Churchill Brothers defeated New Radiant of Maldives 3-0 to secure its first victory in the AFC Cup football here on Tuesday.
Lagos scored in the 31st and 75th minutes while Anthony Wolfe netted the other goal in the 52nd in the Group E league match at Nehru stadium at Fatorda.
With this win, Churchill, which lost to Persipura Jayapura of Indonesia in its their opening encounter, opened its account and now has three points from two matches while New Radiant, which defeated Home United of Singapore, remained on three from two outings.
Bright start
Churchill started brightly by moving the ball on the flanks well with Costa Rica striker Lagos and Trinidad and Tobago's Wolfe combining well upfront. The pair caused all sorts of trouble for the rival defenders, creating half a dozen chances in the first half. However, Wolfe missed two close chances with only the goalkeeper to beat.
Lagos got an early chance to score off a Raju Yumnam cross, but his header went over the bar.
He, however, put his team 1-0 up in the 31st minute when a move on the right saw Satish Singh sending a low cross into the box to Wolfe.
He then passed it on to Lagos, who uncorked a firm grounder to find the back of the net.
The host continued to dictate terms in the second half and Wolfe made amends by scoring in the 52nd minute off a throw-in from the right.
Lagos put the match beyond the reach of the visitor with his second goal in the 75th minute.
The result:
Churchill Brothers 3 (Cristhian Lagos 31 & 75, Anthony Wolfe 52) bt New Radiant of Maldives 0.
Keywords: AFC Cup, Churchill Brothers, Cristhian Lagos

Medora smoking policy to be introduced
MEDORA -- Mayor Doug Ellison wants to minimize smoking in Medora, but some residents say he should butt out.
Ellison, a nonsmoker, recently sent a letter to city council members, proposing they pass an antismoking ordinance. His proposal would ban smoking on city property -- including streets and sidewalks -- and in bars.

Andrew Zimmern's Photos from Minnesota
"I love Travail in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, for the pure and simple fact that these guys work hard and have lots of fun. It's a unique concept—no waitstaff, just the cooks taking your order, making and running your food. It looks exhausting. I filmed there this summer, and the guys surprised me with durian done eight ways. I was speechless. The rest of their food is pretty stunning, too."—AZ

The parents of children who attend day care may be wise to pay heed to their child's exercise and diet, according to a new study that found that young children in day care are 50 percent more likely to be overweight than those who stay at home with a parent.
"Consideration of nutrition and physical activity in child care arrangements may be worthwhile for developing child care programs and policies that would be better adapted to children's needs," the researchers wrote in their study, published online Nov. 8 in the Journal of Pediatrics.
Canadian researchers examined the children of more than 1,600 families in Quebec, born between 1997 and 1998. They were classified according to the type of care they received in ther preschool years: spanning 1.5 to 4 years.
After following up with the families 10 years later, researchers found that the odds of a child becoming overweight or obese increased by 9 percent in the first decade, with each increment of five hours spent in non-parental child care, the New York Daily News reported.
"I suggest to parents they ensure their children eat well and get enough physical activity, whether at home or at day care," study researcher Jean Séguin, of the University of Montreal, said.
According to the researchers, day care policies have the potential to reduce weight problems in children through the incorporation of physical activity and healthy dietary programs, Fox News said.

So in order to make it easy for yi and some other junglers u give them ad-jungle items... I hope you realize all ap junglers (except fiddle) will be useless since there is no leash anymore and no ap jungling items...
The rest changes are ok, but pls don't destroy ap jungling...
Senior Member
Any interesting champs that do extremely well in the new jungle that were never used before in the old jungle? :P
Junior Member
Statikk sorry for hijacking this thread, but any chance you can take a look at this:
Also I'm looking forward to these changes as I hate to be lvl 1 ganked top all the time eheh
I would be excited if it wasn't atleast a week late. Pfft..
Does this mean good junglers like shyv are going to be nerfed because of their insane clears?
ok i'm so angry now... my precious junglers are going to die soon...
My first reaction is that I don't really like it, early game ganking sounds likeit'll become too risky and passively farming the jungle really isn't all that fun to do.
Nautilus is already pretty dead in the current jungle, I can't see him being viable in the new one. I mainly jungle Hecarim, Skarner and Maokai these days, and it sounds like the revamp hits them pretty hard.

Meant for emerging markets, Alcatel's latest 7- and 8-inch tablets offer 3G and 4G connectivity for a low price.
Pricing not available
A thinner, lighter gaming laptop, the Acer Aspire V Nitro Black Edition satisfies with an excellent screen and performance and understated good looks.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
Don't be tempted by its low price: the Toshiba Excite Go's middling display is too onerous to use.
The Belkin tablet case provides a firm fit and basic protection, but its design conforms better to midsize tablets than 7-inchers.
HP's Pavilion x360 adds Beats Audio (for now) and rugged construction to the expanding field of 11-inch Yoga-likes, but Lenovo's version feels much more upscale.
The Microsoft All-in-One Media keyboard is a keyboard-plus-touchpad combo for home theater PCs that is both low-cost and simple to use.
If you're a dedicated Windows 8 hater, the update to Windows 8.1 isn't going to change your mind. For everyone else, this collection of tweaks, fixes, and new features is useful, but everything here should have shipped in the original version last year.
The third version of Lenovo's ultralight 14-inch laptop, the X1 Carbon, gets nearly all the basics right while adding a few new twists, including a function key row that changes app by app.
Strong performance, high-end specs, and an ultra-affordable price make the Google Nexus 5 not just the best unlocked phone on the market, but the best Nexus phone by far.
