Music For Bionic Ears is nearing completion for its premiere concert in February. Here's a sample of one of the elements going into the final work.
Bionic Ear Study No. 3
(1′23″, 1.7 MB, mp3)
As an artsy-fartsy Modern Composer, one of the challenges of the Music For Bionic Ears project is having to come up with something that people might want to listen to. When the publicity for your upcoming gig promises a concert "designed to be enjoyed by both cochlear implant users and audiences with normal hearing," you're suddenly struck by a conundrum. How do you know whether or not the cochlear implant wearers are hearing something enjoyable in your music, when most "normal hearing" people don't like your music anyway?
My music's already been written up as using "bizarre scales", and I have, on at least two occasions, been confronted face-to-face with the question What Is This Shit? So for this piece, should I try to write something (shudder) "accessible", or carry on doggedly clutching my copy of "Who Cares if You Listen?" At least I can console myself that the tunings I'm using, which may sound off to most people, seem to sound pretty normal to implant users.
This is the quandary I've been facing since visiting the Bionic Ear Institute in Melbourne last November. While I was in town I got to see the (fantastic) launch concert for the CD Artefacts of Australian experimental music: volume 2. One of the composers on the CD, Sarah Hopkins, played her music on whirly tubes. As well as her own works, she performed Amazing Grace. Yeah, it's simple and obvious, but whirly tubes play only notes in the harmonic series. In other words, it's not in conventional tuning but a "bizarre scale" similar to the scale I'm using in this particular piece.
The scale is also very similar to one used by Ben Johnston, a composer with over 50 years' experience of writing music in alternative tunings. His best known piece? A set of microtonal variations on Amazing Grace. This string quartet marked a changed in his style, from the more abstracted idioms of the post-war avant-garde, to using familiar harmony and melody as a foundation on which to build sophisticated elaborations on the physics of sound.
Although my music is still very different, I'm using these examples as a reminder of how I would like my music to be heard: I don't want it to be easy, but I want it to be clear.
The Melbourne Age has published an article today about Music for Bionic Ears:
In February, the audience will get to hear the culmination of his experimental musical dialogue when [Robin] Fox and five other composers perform a selection of works at the Arts Centre created especially for the 1000 or so Victorian Cochlear implant recipients.
It will be a concert like no other; the deaf as well as those with normal hearing will be gathered together listening to the same music. While it is difficult to know how it is going to be interpreted by those wearing the device, Fox said: "Hopefully, it will be a shared musical experience. Those with normal hearing will be able to discuss it together afterwards with those that are hearing-impaired."
In the meantime, I'm getting stuck into making the finished piece for the February concert:
As you can see, the creative process is a thrilling mix of heady inspiration and unbridled fun.
Underneath all the music I make, there's a problem nagging away at me. Whatever I do will always be second-rate because of one fatal mistake: I'm working with electronics instead of acoustic instruments.
Have you had this experience? You're at a gig, someone with a laptop or decks, hi-tech or low-tech gizmos, and you're into it, thinking to yourself that it all sounds damn good. Then for the next act some old bloke comes on with a penny whistle or ukelele or whatever and blows the room away.
It's not just that we're impressed by the visible effort – the 'work' – going into the music that is usually less evident in electronic music: the whole experience is tangibly different, more engaging, more exciting. I can't explain in any satisfactory way why it always has to be like this.
Coincidentally, while procrastinating from writing this I just read a quote from Jeff Harrington:
I find that electronic music has a real problem to it, because, at this point, there is no good way to get across the kind of energy and vitality that the performer brings to acoustic music.
I don't think that really gets to the heart of this problem, without understanding exactly what is meant when we talk about energy and vitality in music.
And I don't think it's all down to the performer either. There's something in the natures of the two media that will always put acoustic music at an advantage, at least in a live setting. (I suspect I'd rather listen to recordings of boring acoustic music than of boring electronic music, but I'm reluctant to test this theory.)
One time I was playing a gig with live analogue electronics, spontaneously generated, no samples, nothing canned or taped. The air was alive with fresh, new, exciting sounds. As I wound up the piece with a flourish and the last sound ebbed away, a loose cymbal on another act's percussion rig behind me slid to the floor with a resonant crash, capping off my whole set. The punters laughed and cheered. Acoustic beats electronic, every time.
The Music For Bionic Ears project now has a confirmed concert date and venue:
Interior Design: Music for the Bionic Ear
George Fairfax Theatre, The Arts Centre, Melbourne
13 February 2011, 5.30pm or 8pm (the concert is repeated)
Tickets: $25 (Concession $15).
There will also be a 7pm lecture for ticket holders.
The premiere of six new musical works written specifically for reception through the cochlear implant:
Robin Fox
Natasha Anderson
Rohan Drape
Eugene Eugetti
Ben Harper
James Rushford
Blurb follows:
Six of Australia's foremost experimental music composers have been commissioned to research and test new sounds and musical forms both in the lab and with cochlear implant users themselves.
These tests have resulted in unique new approaches to the composition and diffusion of musical ideas and sensations. The concert is designed to be enjoyed by both cochlear implant users and audiences with normal hearing.
There are over 1000 Bionic Ear users in Victoria today. For these people the Bionic Ear brings sound into a previously silent world, and for the most part allows them to converse with friends and family. However, listening to live music can be a difficult, or even annoying experience!
INTERIOR DESIGN: Music for the Bionic Ear aims to start addressing that problem. Prepare to be challenged by what you hear and be careful not to make assumptions about what others might experience!
It's a strange experience, having to play your music to an audience of one and waiting to find out their response, face to face. Even stranger, when they know nothing about your music; stranger still when you know they're not hearing what you're hearing.
On Monday I got to meet four cochlear implant wearers at the Bionic Ear Institute, as part of the Music For Bionic Ears project. They had differing levels of ability in perceiving music, and of experience in hearing and playing music. I played each of them my Study No. 2 and finally got some feedback on whether or not my experiments would have any positive effect.
The new tuning system seemed to work surprisingly well. The types of chords, and the processed organ sound I had used, weren't as cluttered and muddy as I feared they might be. All four reported that they could hear chords and harmonies clearly, and that the sounds were, for the most part, pleasant to hear. (By pleasant, I mean that too much muddled sonic information tends to sound like white noise to implant wearers.)
It seemed almost too good to be true when a couple of listeners responded that they could identify the organ sound, hear distinct chords and harmonies, and moreover enjoy them. Previously, they had not found these types of sounds pleasant. This was a much better reaction than I had hoped. It seems that using a just intonation scale instead of standard equal temperament has a big effect on how implant wearers hear music. This could be a useful path of inquiry to follow, examining whether equal temperament is an obstacle to music perception and which tuning systems are clearest.
All listeners could identify the organ sound, although some also heard other instruments in the mix. This may have been due to the synthesised nature of the sound, and the other electronic treatments I had made. There are other aesthetic and philosophical implications to whether or not timbral recognition will be an issue in the finished piece, which I should follow up in a separate post shortly.
The piece I played was not focussed too much on melody, relying instead on presenting a succession of distinct sounds with varied loudness, duration, and harmonic complexity. Implant wearers often have a problem in detecting the small steps between notes that usually make up a melody, so it will be interesting to see if a different tuning has any effect. Alternatively, my piece may continue to work in a way that is less reliant on melody.
The Hearing Organised Sound blog has more information about the meeting, with further details about what the other composers in the project are up to. Their approaches are all quite different and are finding out other details I am now trying to take on board.
There was a little segment about the Music For Bionic Ears project on Australian TV recently, which can be watched online. (I can see it in the UK, so I guess everyone can.)
I've uploaded two of the studies I've made for the project for you to listen to, working with the 16-tone tuning system.
Bionic Ear Study No. 1
Bionic Ear Study No. 2
Study No. 1 was made by filtering white noise into the 22 frequency bands used in the design of a cochlear implant. This was done using a filtered granular synthesis contraption in AudioMulch. The filtered sounds produced were mimicked by a (virtual) piano, retuned to the 16-tone scale. The sounds you can hear in the study are a mix of the white noise, the piano, and either or both sounds reproduced through the cochlear implant simulator devised by Robin Fox.
Study No. 2 examines the various harmonies that can be produced with the scale. Using only one instrument (electric organ), a sequence of chords and single tones are played in a variable rhythm. Certain pitches, with frequencies that straddled a pair of electrodes, were shifted up or down an octave. This sequence was fed back into the same AudioMulch filter used in Study No. 1, which plays back differing amounts of the original and filtered organ.
What next? Study No. 1 is very rudimentary and serves as a preliminary map of the type of soundworld I am dealing with. Study No. 2 was a demonstration of harmonic combinations that are possible. In the latter piece, I suspect that the combination of chords used and the organ sound will come across as too cluttered in the more rigidly-defined sound structure of the implants. The piece I am working on now uses the following principles:
Composition is largely an act of constructing an instrument.
Emotion arises in the conflict between the structure of the music and the structure of the listener.
Growing up during The War, you would turn on the radio and hear an announcer valorising the dead of Stalingrad for their sacrifice in defense of the Fatherland, followed by Beethoven's 5th Symphony. When the death of the Führer was announced it was followed by the Siegfrieds Tod. Music was used as a tool to remove thought. This was the millieu of the post-war avant-garde.
Favourite title is Morton Feldman's The Viola in My Life.
"There are no electronics in my life."
The piano doesn't play the melody, the melody plays the piano.
Study with Nono was impossible. Everything was an imperialist relic of capitalist oppression. One note followed by another note was a melody, which was bourgeois. How could he work himself free from these strictures? [cf. Feldman telling his students he wanted to make composition impossible for them.]
Teaching about beauty in art to class of schoolchildren, he brought in a photograph of Gina Lollobrigida and a print of Albrecht Dürer's mother and asked which was more beautiful. The class hesitated, unsure of what answer he wanted to hear. One girl whispered to her friend, "The ugly one's more beautiful."
(Sorry for the delay – it was a long dinner. Part one is here.)
That's the problem when you take an immediate liking to something you don't fully understand: as you find out more about it you're likely to be disappointed, as the reality fails to tally with the happy imaginings you've projected into the gaps of your knowledge. I remember feeling a little underwhelmed when I was at the premiere of Grido, Lachenmann's third string quartet, back in 2001. It sounded too much like yet another European intellectual, railing against the past while hopelessly entangled in it. Walter Benjamin's destructive, cheerful character was in scant evidence. The rest of the concert included something by Wolfgang Rihm and Schoenberg's 2nd quartet, the latter of which showed up the others as still relearning a lesson ninety years old.
I know he's revised it a bit since then, but Grido sounded very different to my ears this time around. Perhaps the different context helped. As mentioned last time, Lachenmann spoke of how a new field of sounds, however abundant, inevitably becomes a sort of prison over time. Grido became an attempt by Lachenmann to escape from his own musical past, retaining his voice while allowing fuller, "proper" musical sounds into the music. Okay, he actually wrote it that way because Irvine Arditti wanted a louder piece (his arm gets tired, don't you know).
Other people I know were dismayed by the most recent piece, Got Lost for soprano and piano. It's a long but slight work, which requires Sarah Leonard to produce a range of clicks, hisses and gasps while singing a text pulverised into scattered phonemes – a panoply of classic techniques from the 60s avant-garde. Nevertheless, I admired the skillful interplay between the voice and piano, while others bemoaned it as a capitulation to the conservative forces of the Establishment.
The pianist, Rolf Hind, returned in his iridescent green shirt to perform Ausklang with a greatly embiggened London Sinfonietta. My favourite Lachenmann shares a quality with that of Luigi Nono's late music, a sense of unstructured timelessness in which sounds appear, half-appear, and disappear as they do in life, seeking no external justification for their existence. (It was good to learn later that Lachenmann had indeed studied with Nono.) As a practical necessity, Ausklang requires more forthright gestures from the piano for it to be heard against the orchestra, however sibilantly they may play. At first, a series of disjointed, blocky sounds come from the piano, amidst occasional abortive runs at virtuosity. It feels like this could quickly become very tedious.
At nearly an hour long, Ausklang fortunately doesn't seek to wear the listener down; rather it takes on a life of its own. The music rises up, falls back to a prolonged whisper, recedes to an almost intractable stasis before gradually recovering into animation – all while seeming part of one unbroken, organic process. The motivation for esacpe and the inertia of the orchestra's apparatus are held in an unesay equilibrium. Under intense observation from the audience, the sense of an internal logic began to emerge. In the Royal Festival Hall, the audience listened with the same intensity as they had to that first quartet.
We still don't really get Helmut Lachenmann, do we? OK, you all understand him but I don't – sorry about the journalist's "we". He has one of the most distinctive voices of the post-war European avant-garde, but it's difficult working out exactly what that voice is saying.
Lachenmann is famous for his extensive use of extended playing techniques in his music – sometimes almost to the exclusion of any "normal" sounds. This makes him a rather obvious marker for the designated cutting-edge of European concert hall music. His apparent disregard for convention can easily be perceived as nihilism, but this perception is tempered by the delicacy of the sounds he coaxes from his instruments. The word 'sussurus' could have been invented just to describe a recurring texture in his music, created by stringed instruments brushed with the wood of the bow, or unpitched air blown through the brass. Nevertheless, he can still divide even the most culturally sophisticated audience.
He was in town over the weekend for a short series of concerts commemorating his 75th birthday. The highlights were the first and last pieces played. Hearing Gran Torso, his first string quartet, performed live was a revelatory experience. It was so quiet! Long passages of hushed, almost inaudible wisps of sound blended together as the Arditti Quartet made minute gestures over various parts of their instruments. I was in the fourth row and was straining to hear; god knows what the people up the back of the Queen Elizabeth Hall made of it.
What were we listening to? Or, what were we listening for? It would be easy to say that this music is an attempt at negation of musical tradition, an understandable position for a post-war German artist to take. In an interview after the concert, Lachenmann returned several times to the idea of escape, although he didn't name it as such. He spoke of how a new field of sounds, however abundant, inevitably becomes a sort of prison over time. Gran Torso is an attempt at escape from, not a negation of, tradition.
The long, still section in the middle of the piece cannot help but suggest the sound of breathing – as natural and as imperceptible. I may hear it as a vindication of John Cage's aesthetic of imitating nature's manner of operation; you may hear it is the irresolvable impasse of attempts to escape tradition through the means of the very embodiment of that tradition. Part of the problem may be that when listening to Lachenmann, we hear what we want to hear.
(Continued tomorrow – my casserole's ready. UPDATE: Part two.)
I think I've settled on a tuning system for my Bionic Ear Institute piece. It's a tricky thing. I'm trying to build up pitches based on overtones of a fundamental frequency. Each electrode in a cochlear implant is designed to respond to only a certain bandwidth of frequencies. The range of bandwidths used mean that certain parts of the scale will be received and interpreted differently, depending on which octave you play in.
Luckily, Robin Fox has sent me an implant simulator, which I am now using to test out different harmonies and combinations. Of course, the interaction of overtones with the cochlear implant becomes more complex still when differentiating between different instrumental timbres.
I'm not sure. I'm supposed to be working on this piece for the Bionic Ear Institute, but it always seems to be the case that when I work on one piece, I soon get sidetracked into starting another piece. This second piece will usually get finished first.
This time, the second piece was left behind while I started a third piece. I got some way into making this third piece when I broke off. Sometimes you come up with a few pretty sounds when preparing your material and you want to stop, afraid that they'll get lost in the composition. I'm listening again now to the source material I prepared last night and I don't want to do any of the things I had planned for it.
Morton Feldman said "material reigns supreme" and boasted that he kept "construction" in his music to a minimum, but this is an oversimplification of his technique: he also criticised music for not being composition, just wallowing in timbre. The material he allowed into his music was kept under strict control.
Particularly because I work with computers and electronics, I always have a question in the back of my head: "Is this too easy?" Listening to it I wonder if it's too obvious, in its material and its construction. I think it has an effect on the listener but I'm not sure if that's because it's relying on some old, familiar trick. Since I've mentioned Feldman, I'll also bring up his question, "Is music art?" Another one of his questions: when is a piece finished?
I was trying to make art, and by stopping now I'm not sure if I've made art or just achieved an amusing effect. It seems wrong to go any further with it. This is one of those pieces I have to set aside and listen to now and again until I can get some perspective on it, either to see through its superficial appeal or recognise the strength in its apparent simplicity.
I love receiving swag, and I've been listening to so much capital-A Arty Stuff lately, so I was happy to get hold of a copy of Robert Poss' new CD, "Settings". My knowledge of Poss' music didn't go much beyond him being that bloke from the Band of Susans who I've heard play Phill Niblock's music, so the neat photo of pedal porn on the front cover was encouraging.
This album's subtitled "Music For Dance, Film, Fashion and Industry", but it's more than just a grab-bag of background music for completists. The fourteen tracks build up into a varied and substantial body of music with some unexpected twists and turns.
You might get that Brian Eno Music for Films vibe over the first few tracks: relatively short pieces of sustained guitars and rin gongs made for Alexandra Beller/Dances. If you're anticipating a collection of more-or-less variegated slabs of guitar drone, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the shifts in tone and style, such as the chiming guitar patterns in "Concordance", which reappear later as a sinister set of interlocking piano loops in the darker "Border Piano Walk". Brooding, atmospheric guitar-based tracks like "Inverness" are contrasted by the tumbling reverse samples that make up "Trio (excerpt)" and the undulating flute from which "Stare Decisis" builds.
I could do without the brief intrusions of tablas at a couple of points, and some of the synth patches used grate in one or two places, but that's probably just me being a snob. The thing is, the more elaborate and ambitious pieces such as "Tourniquet Revisited" confirm what I already had come to believe, that I'm listening to fully-formed music by a serious composer, not just some muso noodling around (or droning on, in this case) to fill out the time.
Occasionally in the past I've struggled with the critical distinction so casually made between Proper Composition – which usually means stuff played in concert halls – and music like on Poss' CD. (The reviews section of The Wire magazine helpfully illustrates this distinction in reverse, sequestering certain discs in a subsection headed "Modern Composition".) Listening to this album reminded me why I usually conclude that attempts to rationalise this distinction are futile.
In my email today:
Subject: Urgently Needed
Good Day,
My name is Kelvin Mcdowells,I would like to make an inquiry based on your products. Do you carry Piano in stock for sales?
Hang on, I'll just check under the bed…. Nope. I used to have one, but I couldn't sneak it out past my landlady when I moved.
If you do, can you kindly get back at me as soon as possible and let me know the price ranges availability for the Piano.Also please advise the type of Piano that you do have when you don't have what i am requesting What type of credit cards do you accept for all orders Looking forward to hear back from you as soon as possible.
Best Regards,
I'll get back at you,you nugatory nincompoop.Also please see below some of the many wonderful pianos I have when I don't have any pianos Please send bacon.
Otherwise, try getting in touch with this guy.
So I was listening to music last night and this question popped into my head, how come all the minimalists pussied out? Of course I immediately realised this was the wrong question, but it was wrong for more than one reason.
The most obvious reason, natch, is that there are minimalists and there are minimalists. I don't want to get into an argument about who's a True Scotsman, but minimalism is an unusual musical influence in as much as the label can be applied fairly accurately to more than three people and the most famous examples aren't necessarily the most representative. This leads to the other reason: when I gratuitously accused all these many fine composers of the nebulous crime of pussying out, I was thinking of the Big Famous Minimalists. You know, the ones with movie soundtracks and orchestra commissions and tasteful album covers*.
Okay, so maybe these Big Famous Minimalists are really just sloppy old-fashioned romantics with more taste than imagination when it comes to matters of harmony and rhythm. In which case, the question becomes how the hell did these boring old farts manage to write some amazingly cool music for a few years back in the 70s? Those old Glass and Reich pieces sound at least as extraordinary today as when they first appeared, not least because they were produced by the same tedious fusspots who churn out pricey aural wallpaper today.
What I'm really trying to say here is that I'm surprised at how my perception of Terry Riley has changed over the years. When I was young and arrogant I thought less of his music 'cos he seemed a bit woolly-minded (his website doesn't help) and too interested in aimlessly noodling around. Now I'm old and dismissive I notice that while his sometime peers got respectable and boring, he's still noodling away – with a better sense of adventure, formal rigour and musicianship than the Movie Music guys.
I guess the old hippie ethos of being true to yourself can pay off if you stick to it, and there's something to be said for repetition.
* Unless you're Philip Glass.

Preliminary Results Show that College and University Endowments Returned 11.7 Percent in FY13
November 7, 2013
College and university endowments had a net investment return of 11.7 percent in fiscal year 2013, according to preliminary data from the NACUBO-Commonfund Study of Endowments. The FY13 preliminary results are based on data from 461 college and university endowments and affiliated foundations that have submitted full or partial data to the 2013 NCSE as of October 2013. Complete data from the survey, which is expected to include full information from more than 800 institutions, will be released in late January 2013.
A press release with more details about the preliminary FY13 results is now available.

Cats benefit hugely from interactive playtime, where the owner moves a cat toy around for them. It helps beat boredom, reduces stress, provides physical and mental exercise for Kitty, while at the same time cementing the special bond between human and feline. What is interactive playtime? When you toss a simple stuffed toy for a cat to bat on its own, you're giving him "dead prey" to pounce on. No matter how expensive the toy, Kitty is likely to lose interest within a few minutes. After all, there's not much you can do with an inedible "dead" mouse other than make... read more

My father left Cuba first because he was being persecuted by the Castro government. Then my sister and I came on March 17, 1961 with student visas and a $5 bill that my Grandfather had given to my sister to hide. We came with only the clothes we were wearing. We went to a campus in Kendall ran by the nuns from Merici Academy and priests from Belen, I believe. Father Walsh went to greet us at the airport along with other children and took us to the campus. There they gave us clothes and took care of us. We even had a chapel in which a Priest said Mass every Sunday. We helped around the campus, kitchen, etc. They had bunk beds in a very large room; the girls stayed at one side of the building and the boys at the other side. We practiced sports and it was a very nice environment. I will never forget it! My mother and small brother (who was 4 at the time) arrived in Miami approx April or May, 1961. By then, my father had 3 jobs and they were able to retrieve us to live with them (in a 1 bedroom apt), because they were moving the children away to foster homes throughout the US. I am now 61 yrs old and I WILL NEVER FORGET the experience. My father has since passed away and my mom is 84 yrs old. It has been quite a ride!!!
Regards, Maria del Carmen Souto

DL matmen dominate Park Rapids
Experience showed through for the Detroit Lakes wrestling team, as the Lakers toppled home-team Park Rapids 55-15 Tuesday.
The much more seasoned Lakers dominated the Panthers' lineup, starting with Tyler Bellefeuille's pin of Toby Ritter at 106 pounds through to heavyweight James Huwe's fall over Chris Baxter.
"It was great to get back on the mat after the Christmas break," said DL head coach Rob Ullyott.

Incontinence / Urological Adult Diapers TENA Ultra Briefs Heavier Protection
TENA introduces new design improvements! Read about the new enhancements here (1.2mb pdf).
Customer Comment: "The new velcro-like fasteners are actually a big improvement over the previous design. Once you know what you're supposed to do and you get the hang of it, they work very well. And though the diapers do appear to be slightly smaller or lighter in weight, they are as absorbent as before. So, after they had me and my mother's caregivers in a minor state of panic, in the end, all is well. What a strange way for them to introduce a new design that really is a noticeable improvement."
TENA Ultra Briefs Heavier ProtectionWhen more absorbency needed than TENA® Classic Plus for superior protection. For moderate to heavy bladder and/or bowel control protection. Dry-fast Dual Core™ quickly absorbs fluid for greater security and increased skin dryness. Moisture- proof, polyethylene lining protects clothing against wetness. Soft, cloth-like outer cover is gentle against the skin and less noisy for improved comfort and dignity. Curved elastics provide a snug fit for enhanced leakage protection and more comfort. Newly designed hook tabs with improved back cover replace adhsive tape tabs and can be attached anywhere on back cover of brief without being compromised from lotions/ creams and talcom powder. Same excellent absorbency, capacity and product sizing. Wetness indicator signals when brief should be changed. Latex-free.

Is Emotional Burnout Living For Others Killing Your Love Life
By ANGE FONCE
Have you been feeling overwhelmed and burned out from all the responsibilities and tasks you do day in and day out, so that you barely have any time or energy to put into taking care of YOURSELF or figuring out what it is YOU need in order to feel fulfilled and happy - whether in your relationship, your career, or just in LIFE?
It is very easy to let weeks, months and even YEARS go by while you are busy checking off your daily to-do lists and then wake up one day and ask yourself,
"Who am I, what am I doing with my life?"
And then on top of it realize, "What happened to my LOVE LIFE?"
I hear this from women ALL THE TIME - they get into a relationship, they focus so much on trying to make it "work" or being what they think the man wants them to be.
Or they get so totally busy with life's little details, that when the relationship finally ends and they are forced to look at what they really want out of life, they realize they had LOST THEIR WAY.
They stopped being their authentic selves and suppressed their dreams because they had spent years ignoring what it is their heart was really yearning to be.
So when the relationship they were in ends, they begin to feel as if they are "waking up" to who they really are and what they want for themselves.
Here is an important question.
Does a relationship have to END in order for you to find yourself again?
Is there a way to stay in touch with who you are and what you really want and need in life, while staying in a relationship and making that relationship WORK to bring out your authentic self?
The answer is YES, THERE IS.
I am going to share with you 3 simple tips.
The question I want to ask you right now is, are you being as true to yourself right now as you can be?
Is your relationship with your man the most passionate, connected and HONEST that it can be?
If you are not feeling as connected to your true and best self right now, I will give you some tips on how you can start on the RIGHT PATH to "getting your groove back" and becoming a happier, more fulfilled person, no matter what is happening in your life right now.
No matter if you are in a relationship that works, or you are single, or if you are having issues in your relationship that are standing in the way of your happiness.
These tips will enable you to:

Case Conclusion Date:April 29, 2009
Practice Area:Birth Injury
Outcome:$12,000,000 settlement
Description:This was the highest recorded settlement in Winnebago County history for any type of case. Jeremy Law suffered profound anoxic brain injury during the delivery process as a result of placental abruption (where the placenta separates from the mother's uterus). The nursing staff failed to confirm Jeremy's position when his mother first came to the hospital and before starting augmentation of labor with Pitocin. Jeremy was in breech position (his bottom and not his head was down) and therefore, the delivering obstetrician would never have attempted vaginal delivery but have done a cesarean section long before the placental abruption occurred. If that had been done, Jeremy would have been delivered as a normal, healthy infant.

A while ago I was talking with a friend and we were sharing how easy it is to get caught up in the day to day stuff. To feel stressed out, over scheduled, tired–you know, life. And, how when we're feeling like this we start to overlook the little things are important in our relationships with others and ourselves.
My friend told me she and her husband had started writing little notes about what love feels like to them on a daily basis. For example, one day her husband folded the laundry when normally that is something she would do. That day, his act felt like love so she wrote a note on their mirror in the bathroom.
Since then I've been trying to pay attention to the same little gestures and letting my family and friends know when those things make me feel loved. If my husband picks up a coffee for me on his way home from work without asking first, that feels like love.
Not only is it important to notice what others do for you that allows you to feel loved, but what you do for others in the same way.
- Snuggling with your dogs allows them to feel love
- Signing up for a fan club to get great concert tickets for a friend feels like love
- Making lunch for my kids feels like love
Giving love and receiving love. Feeling seen and knowing we each matter.
Can you think of small gestures that feel like love to you, that you give and receive?
Another friend recently shared that she's posting a pic of the day showing what love looks like to her, to help her center and focus on what's important in life. Since reading this I've been thinking about sharing one act that feels like love, each day. The more we start to look for love the more we see love is all around.
I'm inviting you to join me. Do it at home if you'd like or if you use #feelslikelove.

Dan Tangherlini has drawn praise from some quarters for his reform efforts at the General Services Administration, but the acting administrator faces an uphill battle.
Tangherlini came to GSA from the Treasury Department in April, as GSA was embroiled in a scandal that took down its well-respected administrator, Martha Johnson, and several senior officials in the headquarters and regional offices of GSA's Public Buildings Service. The fiasco centered on a grandiose $822,000 conference for roughly 300 GSA employees held in Las Vegas in 2010.
Tangherlini has moved quickly to get GSA's spending habits under control. He suspended 85 percent of senior executive bonuses through fiscal 2013 and froze hiring at GSA. He's even reviewing the agency's performance awards system and asking whether the bar is set too low for assessing superior employee efforts.
He has also cancelled conferences when they don't meet his strict standard for usefulness and benefit to the agency. He has even brought questionable spending to the attention of the agency's inspector general. A $268,732 awards ceremony in 2010 cost too much, in Tangherlini's opinion. He told the IG to investigate the event, one in a series that has been going on since 2002.
"These events indicate an already recognized pattern of misjudgment, which spans several years and administrations," said Betsaida Alcantara, GSA's communications director. "It must stop, and [that's] why Acting Administrator Tangherlini has instituted several stringent new policies on spending to put an end to this misuse of taxpayer dollars."
Yet it's exactly that perceived pattern that makes Tangherlini's challenge so difficult. Although he deserves credit for disclosing the awards ceremony, that news overshadowed the housecleaning efforts announced just days earlier. Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Steve Kempf's medical leave, related or not, only added to the sense of turmoil. And the turnover that accompanies the end of any presidential term is still to come.
Pair all that with Tangherlini's acting status — GSA has had a confirmed administrator for just four of the past eight years — and skeptics can be forgiven for wondering whether his changes will have a lasting effect.
Decisions to rein in spending could have an impact, but other efforts to make positive changes and implement new initiatives are less likely to endure, said Bob Woods, who served as commissioner of GSA's Federal Technology Service from 1994 to 1997 and is now president of Topside Consulting Group.
"I don't think you will find many statues in town with the words, 'In honor of Sally or Sal, who stopped executive bonuses at GSA,'" Woods said. "Then again, you don't find many brass plaques for those who served less than a year in the job."
Others are more optimistic. "Tangherlini has considerable support in the administration and on the Hill to make bold moves at GSA," said Larry Allen, president and founder of Allen Federal Business Partners. Dennis Fischer, who was acting GSA administrator for four months at the start of the Clinton administration, also applauded Tangherlini's initiatives and said the acting administrator is not merely an agency caretaker.
And Tangherlini does have a record of bringing order to government operations seen as lacking it, often while operating in a temporary capacity. Before returning to the federal government in 2009, he served as interim general manager of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority and in the District of Columbia's Police Department, Transportation Department and Office of the City Administrator.
For congressional overseers and GSA rank-and-file, however, the question remains: Will that support and experience be enough?

The Acting Administrator is facing a significant challenge in less than ideal circumstances with critics, bruised egos, hostile attitudes, supportive elements and unreasonabable expectations thrown in for good measure.What is being uncovered does not do justice to the efforts GSA had made to re-invent itself and to once again become relevant to the marketplace.What is being uncovered are poor decisions made by both good and bad managers as we know them.The timing of Tangherlini's appointment is unfortunate - at the end of an Administration preparing to go into a highly charged political environment - a stage where common sense will be sacrificed on the altar of hyperbole, mean-spiritedness and blatant misrepresentation.The inclination is to presume eye-candy change will be made, something that will glitter and satisfy the ADD attributes of the Hill and GSA critics. But this is not the change needed, something more fundamental in the culture needs to be rooted out and replaced - trust, hope, belief in a job well done, vision,and creativity need to be re-introduced.
Change has to start somewhere. More power to him. Exposing and correcting shoddy business practices (whatever they are) can only help all those hard-working civil servants who get unfairly tarred with the same brush as those who do not look out for the taxpayer's best interests.

You may read this title and think, "There is no Zen for the parent of a teething puppy!" True, a teething puppy requires extra supervision and care, but with the right precautions you and your pet
Bailey chooses the Hurley because it floats and is durable
Bailey's favorite durable water toy, the Hurley!
My two Irish Water Spaniels are avid swimmers and beg to go swimming every day. They cannot wait to go out to the yard to swim and when they do the first thing they look for is the Hurley!
West Paw's Hurley has become Bailey's favorite toy to play with. He sometimes even brings it to me in the house, as much as if to say: isn't it time to go swimming? as it is for him to just play! Bailey is obsessed with retrieving from the pool so West Paw Design's float-able water toys are perfect for his active lifestyle!
However, most toys I bring home to him he destroys within minutes, even the toys that claim to be indestructible. I have tried all the Air Kong stuff and even tried the Tire Biter but Bailey has managed to destroy all of these toys. Except the Hurley!
He's had this durable dog toy made of Zogoflex for over four months now and he still hasn't dented it! For the most part, Bailey will chew on whatever it is he is retrieving so most toys hardly make it past a couple of throws. Not the Hurley. This chew toy keeps going and going!
It thrills me to know that West Paw Design has created a toy that both my Water Spaniels can enjoy!

Deriving Probabilistic Databases With Inference Ensembles
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Many real-world applications deal with uncertain or missing data, prompting a surge of activity in the area of probabilistic databases. A shortcoming of prior work is the assumption that an appropriate probabilistic model, along with the necessary probability distributions, is given. This paper addresses this shortcoming by presenting a framework for learning a set of inference ensembles, termed meta-rule semi-lattices, or MRSL, from the complete portion of the data.
