This painting is a mere personal whim.
Art Deco has always handled my hands at the time of creation.
Lempicka was, so to speak, the one who led me to paint. This is my small tribute to the Painting (Spring) that made me want to be an artist in the first place.
With all due respect and gratitude wherever you are Tamara.

Photo provided by Donna Gaignard -- Destiny Cayette and Jakayla Wilson, from left, prepare to take the stage July 20 for a production of 'The Lion King' in Donaldsonville. Advocate staff report Aug. 08, 2013 Comments Bright Futures Community Learning Center recently ended its fifth annual summer camp session with a performance to show off the skills learned by the students. More than 100 students attended the six-week summer camp held in Donaldsonville. Students took part in sessions on art, dance, keyboarding, choir, violin and academic instruction. The children also practiced for the annual end of camp production. This year's production was "The Lion King," which was staged July 20 in the Lemann Memorial Center in Donaldsonville. It was a repeat performance of the play staged by campers two years ago, said Donna Gaignard, chief operating officers of Bright Futures. "The student's performance was exemplary," she said. "You felt the passion and the magic of the Broadway version of 'Lion King' in the building." She said the audience was "spellbound as these young people brought the famous Broadway show to life in Donaldsonville." Taye-Rafael Jackson performed as the young Simba and Martique Redditt sang and danced as a young Nala. Eldridge Lewis played two roles — Mufasa and adult Simba. "These young people return year after year and they never cease to amaze me with their talent," she said. "Out of all the things I want to be remembered for in my life, my being instrumental in their lives is right up there near the top of that list." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Colts/Titans ratings in Austin
Sigh. Austin just can't remove itself from VY's jock. Sunday's Colts/Titans game was the highest rated Titans game (not involving the Texans) since VY was drafted. 80,000 households.
David Barron's blog on Chron.com It's in the comments section in bold. I'm very, very interested to see how Colts/Texans does this Sunday. If you need me, I'll be driving the Texans Bandwagon around Austin. Though I'm not sure yet if I'll be stopping to make pickups - or if I'll be running some fairweather fans over. |

Re: Colts/Titans ratings in Austin
That's deceiving because there was no early FOX game. CBS had the double header and the Cowboys held the 3PM slot on FOX. So basically, it was the Titans and Colts or something other than football.
BTW, all my VY jock sniffing buddies around here are all talking about the Texans now. Titan fever will cool in Austin if the Texans keep winning. |

Re: Colts/Titans ratings in Austin
Actually, with being the only NFL game on at the time, that rating should be pretty disappointing to KEYE. Should have had 100,000+

Re: Colts/Titans ratings in Austin
That was the reasoning for my post the other night...make that early morning. Titans can have great ratings when the schedule is in their favor. Having no game and/or not the Cowboys to go up against is great for VY fans and KEYE.
I felt like looking at the 2006 schedule and comparing it to what KEYE broadcast and the projected KEYE schedule. I just cant believe that they are the good guy that they claimed to be. Turns out the NFL schedule was their best friend last year and allowed them to create this beast without much repercussion. Reason being is that there was little to no conflict for KEYE on picking between the Texans or the Titans for the first 12 games of the season. They showed the Texans 8 times in the first 12 weeks. There were only 3 true conflicts with the Titans during that stretch and KEYE chose to show the Texans 2 out of 3 of those conflicts (the other conflict was that the Texans v Cowboys, and even VY isnt going to take the Cowboys off the TV). The first 8 games of the season, (including the Cowboy game) KEYE didnt have to call the ball on whether to show the Texans or the Titans, the choice was made by the NFL when they created the schedule. By then we were 3-9 and basically Titans football in weeks 13,14,15,16, and 17 (14 was against the Texans). Given that there are VY fans that are Texan fans and those that are also Cowboy fans and those that are just VY fans, VY is going to get viewers when there is a conflict with a Texans game but not when there is a Cowboy game (Austin is still more DAL than HOU), there are few true Titan fans that sold their self to The Devil a decade ago and cant let go that will watch as well. Taking that into account, lets look at what VY fan had to contend with last year. Lets look at the scheduling conflicts that the VY fans had to work around. Should they watch the VY game or the DAL game? Im going with the fact that VY followers are DAL fans as long as DAL isnt playing at the same time, Texan fans as long as Texans arent at the same time. Problem is that VY had limited conflict with the Cowboys but matched up nearly week for week with the Texans schedule (albeit not necessarily on the same network). VY conflicts with Texans 13 out of 17 weeks (2 of the 4 non conflicts were because of each teams BYE week the other 2 are because they play each other). In contrast VY fan only had conflicts with the Cowboys in 3 of the 17 weeks, playing the Cowboys in week 4 doesnt count. That being said, if VY fan is also a Cowboy fan, they are obviously saying put the Titans game on instead of the Texans game, so they get two games they want to watch on those weeks. Being that Austin is a more of a Cowboy city than a Texan one, you can see how easily the numbers are in VY fans favor. What KEYE doesnt realize is why, just that they are what they show on paper. This season, KEYE only has to call the ball on 6 games where HOU and TN conflict, two of which have already gone to the Titans. One other game has the DAL playing NE on CBS which will be a conflict with HOU and TN, which Im sure they will show DAL (Austin cant be without a Cowboy game). Texans play two games against the NFC which will be on FOX, and one game on NFL network. That means that out of the 16 games that the Texans will play this year 13 have the opportunity to be televised on KEYE. KEYE has to call the ball on 7 of the 13. They have already chosen TN for the first 2, so that leaves 5 of the remaining 11 that are still in KEYEs hands. The Cowboys play on CBS for week 6 and conflict with HOU and TN they will pick DAL. So that makes 3 of the 7 that you can lock up as not being Texan games with the remaining 4 limbo games having HOU going in the same time slot TN in tow of the weeks (give those to HOU with KEYE knowing they will choose the TN games when they have the early games), and TN with 2 games early with HOU being the late game (chalk those up for TN). If it works out this way which doesnt look to farfetched, KEYE will show 2 HOU games of the 6 where KEYE has to choose between HOU or TN and then the 7th opportunity will go to DAL instead of HOU or TN. VY conflicts with Texans 7 out of 17 weeks (2 of the 4 non conflicts were because of each teams BYE week the other 2 are because they play each other). VY fan only has conflicts with the Cowboys in 4 of the 17 weeks. (15 possible weeks taking out the BYE weeks) That being said, if VY fan is also a Cowboy fan, they are saying put the Titans game on instead of the Texans game, so they get two games they want to watch that week. Being that Austin is a more of a Cowboy city than a Texan one, you can see how easily the numbers are in VY fans favor. Heres a breakout of the schedule with 0 being a game KEYE didnt have to pick; -1 where there was a conflict and they picked TN 1 where they picked HOU in the conflict. 2006 1 Titans (Texans on FOX; Cowboys not a conflict) 0 2 Texans (Titans were late; Dallas was night game) 0 3 No game (Texans on FOX; Titans not shown; Dallas was no conflict) 0 4 Texans (Titans played Dallas on FOX but game was a conflict) 0 5 Titans (Texans BYE; Titans played the Colts; Dallas no conflict) 0 6 Texans (Texans played Dallas; Titans conflict) Not going to miss a Dallas game in Austin 0 7 Texans (Titans BYE; Dallas was night game) 0 8 Texans/Titans (Dallas night game) 0 9 Texans (Titan conflict; Dallas conflict) 1 10 Titans (Texans conflict; Dallas no conflict) -1 11 Texans (Titans conflict; Dallas no conflict) 1 12 Texans (Titans and Dallas night games 0 13 Titans (Texans late game but not show; Titans played Colts; Dallas no conflict) -1 14 Texans/Titans (Dallas night game) 0 15 Titans (Texans conflict; Dallas night game) -1 16 Titans (Texans conflict; Dallas night game) -1 17 Titans (Texans conflict; Dallas conflict on Fox) -1 2007 1 Titans (Texans conflic; Cowboys not a conflict) x -1 2 Titans (Texans conflic; Cowboys not a conflict) x -1 3 Texans (Titans played Dallas at night on another station, no conflict) 0 4 Texans (Titans BYE; Dallas on FOX but game was a conflict) 0 5 Texans (Titans on FOX conflict; Dallas on Mon not a conflict) 0 6 Cowboys (playing NE on CBS; conflict with Texans and Titans) x -1 7 Texans play Titans; Dallas conflict on FOX 0 8 Titans (Titans early; Texans late; Dallas BYE) x -1 9 Texans (Titans on FOX early; Texans late; Dallas night game 0 10 Titans (Texans BYE; Dallas not a conflict) 0 11 Cowboys (Texans playing NO on FOX conflict; Titans late 0 12 Texans Titans conflict on CBS; Dallas no conflict x 1 13 Texans play Titans; Dallas not a conflict 0 14 Cowboys (Texans playing TB on FOX conflict; Titans early) 0 15 Texans (NFL on Thur; Titans early; Dallas late 0 16 Titans (Titans early; Texans late; no conflict; Dallas no conflict) x -1 17 Texans Titans conflict on CBS; Dallas conflict on FOX x 1 |

I have been put in charge of setting up a haz-mat team in my department. Can anyone give me a starting point. What supplies to buy first? Thanks.
That is a HUGE chunk to tear off. Good luck.
What are your goals? Decon, entry, cleanup? The first thing I would do is establish what it is that you plan on doing. Next figure out what training is going to be needed. What equipment you will need. Prepare a budget for the bosses and when you pick them up off the floor see if they realy want to pursue this. Haz-Mat is big money, you can get alot thru grants but most money is going to go to regional teams. I will tell you decon will cost you but once you start with entry you are realy talking about big money. You will need everything from suits, resources (books/computer), containment kits, patch kits, breathing systems, monitoring devices and transportation for all of the above.
I would recruit as much help as you can and get a game plan going, then come back and see what info you can get from the forums. Also as always check with local teams to see what they have going on and what they may be able to offer.
cjnfiremn, MEck51 made some very good points. Having been on the formation committee for the level A haz mat team for our county, I can tell you it is a long process. You are looking at least two years of planning, preparing and training before you should think about being able to deploy. Please make sure you have ALL of the paperwork completed and double checked before you even start training.
You will need:
SOG's; mutual aid guidelines; possibly local laws passed in your parish to allow you to bill the spiller; a medical director for at least your team physicals; and lots of training and practice.
One upside for you is that I have heard LSU has good training programs.
I would suggest you start with getting every one in your F.D. trained to the Operations level and see if that helps generate some interest in some of your people to go farther. Get a small committee started and be aware that it is going to be a long process. Maybe talk to some one in LaFayette or Baton Rouge or who ever handles your haz mat now.
Looking at my map, are you inside the area that is/will be/should be getting Federal aid? Definately take advantage of every Haz Mat/WMD grant that you can. Just be advised that some have limitations on what you can buy and some require evaluations of your progress.
Good luck.
Start by looking at a regional team or one out of a bigger city to see what they have, then look at the area you would be responsible for covering, look at the hazards and what you may have to deal with. I would begin by not buying anyhting until you have a team selected. Then, train to tech level, then begin buying equipment for what you need, not just because it's cool or nifty. Pay attention to the fact you will need decon, and other things, not just entry equipment. The other thing you can do is find a local hazmat clean up company, and figure out what they have.Quote:

Basic stuff that you should look at do you have the man power to put together a complete team or will you need additional resources/mutial aide? You can't just throw a handful of guys together and expect an incident to run smooth. Training training training....practice practice practice is another key. The ability for the personnel to use the equipment they are given with confidence is a must. You don't want to put a f/f in a Level A suit and give them a detector that they have only touched once.
Before you even purchase a piece of equipment, research what hazards you have within the area or possible threw traffic(ie. trucks/rail) If you have chemical facilities in the area, do they have response teams of their own? Try to arrange a meeting or training time with their facility to gain knowledge and understand their procedures.
Definately canvass other Fire Departments about how their teams are set up, SOG's (Phoenix Website has a good Hazmat section I believe). A library of material you will need to help you select the best way to deal with the situation. Canutech/Chemtrec are good resources, a computer program that we currently use is PEAC fantastic program full of chemicals and other information.
Budgets are a big issues as it was said before.... Hazmat is an expensive area to get into. Look for municipal funding/county funding/state funding any type of funding you can get your hands on. If there is an enviromental cleanup company... see if you can partner with them for funding.
When it comes to suits.... have to look at the chemicals you are dealing with. Always have to have some in reserve and in the case of Level A fully encapsulating suits they have to be pressure tested....another expense. Then you are looking at boots/gloves/eye protection/radios/breathing apparatus. And we haven't even got to detectors and decon.
Detectors can range from the 4 gas ITX to the PID for volitile organic vapours to radiation detector, standard co detector, ph strips, and so on and so on. Then you have to look at the maintenance of those detectors and let me tell you the sensors in the detectors aren't cheap. We blew 3 sensors in the ITX in less than a year and it had to be at least a $2000 bill. Then if you want to do your own calibrating... there is the docking station to do bump testing/calibration and downloads of your incidents.
Decon can range from a couple of ducky pools and spray wands to a full blown trailer with showers....
Oh yes and the trailers to store all this equipment and the vehicles to tow these units.... everything that has to be kept in mind. If you are wanting to start a team this is some of what you should be looking at. Start small....baby steps as a fully functional Hazmat Program takes years to put together to the point of being capable to handle everything. And even everything just doesn't cover it all.
This is just my two cents as I have seen my Hazmat program grow in the past 6 years. We have gone from the bare bones to now what I think is a program that is comparable to some of the bigger facilities. We don't know it all and nor do we have it all but we go in there an do the job the best we can.
From one Glow worm to another.... stay safe

Miami Dolphins off to a promising start in scrimmage
The offense was efficient in the red zone but struggled when forced to go the length of the field in the first intrasquad scrimmage.
If Monday night's intrasquad scrimmage is to be believed, the Dolphins' offense in the red zone will be much improved in 2013.
That's assuming they can consistently get there.
In an up-is-down kind of night, the Dolphins' first-team offense was remarkably efficient inside the 30, with Ryan Tannehill throwing all three of his touchdown passes from close range.
But when forced to go the length of the field, the starting group sputtered, managing just three first downs and roughly 60 yards in three drives that started in its own territory.
Caveat: The offense was missing some significant pieces. Neither Brian Hartline, who appeared to tweak something during warm-ups, nor Mike Wallace played. No official explanation was given for either player's absence.
Instead, the starting receivers were Brandon Gibson and Marvin McNutt.
And Lamar Miller was limited to five carries for 12 yards and a goal-line touchdown.
Credit Miami's stout, pressuring defense, which excelled in front of the 22,876 attendees, one of the largest scrimmage crowds in team history.
"There was a lot of good things. Some guys stepped up and made plays; obviously, there was some sloppiness," Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said. "We have to be a lot better in six days when we open against the Dallas Cowboys [on] Sunday night in Canton [Ohio]."
The Dolphins defense forced three three-and-outs in the scrimmage's first four drives. Reshad Jones had two sacks. Olivier Vernon had a strip sack of Matt Moore. Kelcie McCray had an interception of Moore that he returned roughly 50 yards for a touchdown.
And Will Davis picked off Pat Devlin in the end zone to finish the scrimmage. It was Davis' second interception in as many days.
Tannehill unofficially finished the night 8 for 11 with 72 yards and those three touchdowns. He connected with Charles Clay for 24 yards, Dustin Keller for 14 and Daniel Thomas for 9. Tannehill did not throw an interception for the fifth practice in a row.
"Productive first scrimmage," tackle Jonathan Martin said on Twitter. "Felt good to be back in @SunLifeStadium."
The running game, however, struggled. Mike Gillislee led all rushers with 20 yards but needed six carries.
And when not artificially backed up in its own end, the defense was downright stifling. The new faces were particularly effective.
Philip Wheeler was excellent in coverage, breaking up at least two passes. And Dion Jordan, working with the backups, had a sack, beating Will Yeatman badly.
The scrimmage, combined with the release of the season's first depth chart earlier in the day, helped shed some light on several position battles.
• Right guard: John Jerry, who could be out several weeks with a knee injury, was listed with the first team on the depth chart; Lance Louis, who has yet to take any contact this fall, is his top backup. Since neither was available Monday night, Richie Incognito moved to the right side. Josh Samuda got the start at left guard.• Defensive end: Randy Starks and Jared Odrick were listed as co-starters, a clever way for the coaching staff to avoid saying which veteran is ahead at this point.
• Cornerback: Dimitri Patterson has seemingly passed Richard Marshall and worked with the first team Monday, but Marshall still got the top line on the depth chart.
• Fullback: Jorvorskie Lane was listed ahead of Evan Rodriguez, but there's a chance neither makes the team.

Now, i will say that i am fat. But that is not why i wear a shirt while swimming. I have Benign moles all over my body, and all it would take to become melanoma is a large dose of sun (ie. a bad sun burn). So even if i was skinny, i would still need to wear a shirt.

In the selected letters compilation, GG wrote to John Maurer, a young fan, the following excerpt, (dated February 28, 1962).
"Now to your question about the Royal Conservatory of Music. (It was called the Toronto Conservatory in my day but has since been changed.) I am afraid that I cannot speak with any authority about it since I have not for at least ten years had any connection with it. Moreover, quite frankly, I think that there are perhaps many other institutions much closer to your home which are equally well established to serve you for your musical education. I cannot, in short, recommend it without some reservations."
In 1964 he told graduates of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto that his best advice would be "devoted to convincing you of the futility of living too much by the advice of others."
The Eaton Auditorium was the only Toronto auditorium Gould felt was good enough to record in. From 1970 through to 1977 he did all his recordings for Columbia there and would keep his piano, the Steinway CD 318, there for his exclusive use in recording. (He rented the CD 318 from Steinway in 1960, and purchased it in 1973. It now is with the National Library of Canada in Ottawa.) The Auditorium closed on March 31, 1977 around the same time the Eaton Centre opened. After it closed Glenn complained to Gramaphone magazine "I found no where else on the local scene that suited my needs, though if my arm was twisted - which is not the way one should have it when one is playing the piano - I suppose I would go somewhere else." After it closed he went on to work and record at the St.Lawrence Centre, which he decided was almost as good as the Eaton Auditorium, and at the studio at the Inn on the Park in Don Mills.
" . . . With the building of other concert halls in Toronto,
its use declined in the 1960s and 1970s, and it was
closed in 1976 prior to the Eaton's College Street closure 5 Feb 1977.
In the ensuing commercial redevelopment of the
building, the organ was removed and the auditorium's
seating was reduced to 100. Glenn Gould was the only
user of the auditorium at the time. He had begun to
record there in 1971 and continued to do so until
August 1981. (*Encyclopedia of Music in Canada*,
second edition, 1992, s.v. "Eaton Auditorium") "
Note from Bruce Cross (firstname.lastname@example.com) Sat, 18 Jan 1997
The Casavant organ on which Gould recorded Art of Fugue 1-9 was
destroyed by fire shortly after 1962. The present organ is an
undistinguished Hallman, installed after the renovation which followed
the fire. I know because my friend Clement Carelse is the organist, and
I play the occasional noon hour organ recital there! I enjoy your page.
Yours, Bruce Cross

Kecskes took the elevator to the top floor of this still stylish Art Deco building.
Gould, she said, was messy ("orange juice and milk cartons everywhere"), and intensely
private (he fired his cleaning lady of about five years "because she liked to gossip
about him"). Kecskes added that he covered his bedroom window with a bookcase, that he
was a terrible driver who frequently drove his big Lincoln Continental into one of the
concrete pillars in the downstairs parking lot and that he disliked intrusions.
"Once he called me on the telephone," she said with a smile, " 'There's someone knocking
on my door. Could you see what they want?' Imagine!"
When the elevator stopped, Kecskes opened the heavy doors next to what was once Gould's
apartment and mounted the stairs to the roof. She pointed to what used to be his
window. "I used to sit up here, after I had done my cleaning, and I would listen to
him play all night long," confessed Kecskes, blushing at the memory. "He never knew
I was up here, or else he would have been angry with me, I suppose, but I had the moon
and the stars and his music and there was nothing more beautiful."
From The Gould Rush by Deirdre Kelly (The Globe and Mail, Saturday, September 20, 1997) Section C - C1.
I've been told to look for a sitka spruce, a tree used to make piano sound boards. This one
was planted near the Gould family gravesite by Sony executives from Japan during the 1992
Glenn Gould conference in Toronto. It's the only one in Mount Pleasant Cemetary. I
wouldn't know a sitka spruce from a Louisville Slugger, but the headstones offer the promise
of music; there's a Bell, a Piper, a Sousa and finally a Gould. I can see hundreds of graves,
and the stones upon them range in style from the modest to the fantastic. It seems the most
significant contribution many people make to art in life is to commission an ornate monument
to themselves in death.
Glenn Gould had no such need of last minute expression. The Gould family marker is an
understated rectangle of grey marble, with two panels of carved flowers around an inscription:
Here lie Florence E., Russell H. "and their dearly loved son, Glenn H. Gould." A small
footstone says "Glenn Gould", and below that, dappled by drops of December rain are the
opening bars of the Goldberg Variations. From memory I rather fancifully attempt to
follow the notes across the panel of cold, grey stone. �.
Standing in the graveyard, I remember something Gould said in the liner notes to his 1955
Goldberg Variations: "It is, in short, music which observes neither end or beginning,
music with neither real climax nor real resolution, music which, like Beaudelaire's lovers,
'rests lightly on the wings of the unchecked wind.'

Subject: Toronto
I can't help feeling that there isn't much to see in Toronto for the Gould enthusiast. His parents' perfectly ordinary house has a plaque in front of it; the old CBC building on Jarvis is abandoned, recently covered with yellow warning signs; his ordinary apartment on St. Clair has a plaque on it; the Four Seasons Hotel in East York is not worth seeing; Eaton's auditorium is closed (though not torn down, as Michael Stegemann says in the notes to Sony SK 52 620.) The organ at All Saint's church on which Gould recorded Art of Fugue 1-9 has burned. Perhaps I'm less interested in the Gould sites since I work in Toronto and pass these places frequently.
The places I would recommend you see are: Massey Hall, in which Gould played frequently (Listen to CBC PSCD 2005) also see a video clip of Gould performing the first movement of Beethoven Symphony #6 at Massey Hall, the Gould Yamaha in the lobby of Roy Thomson hall,(two more Gould pianos are in Ottawa) maybe have lunch at Fran's restaurant, near the apartment at Yonge and St. Clair.
I have sometimes wondered if there is any interest in having informal guided tours for visitors which would include all the sites without the visitor having to find his way around? Let me know. The places are fairly widely spaced, and it would take some effort to find some of them. See an excellent web page at www.uottawa.ca/~weinberg/gould.html and click on "A Tour of Toronto" for addresses, etc.

Subject: Re: Eaton's No More
The Eaton auditorium where Glenn and Andrew Kazdin has been gone for quite some time. During the mid-seventies, Andrew and Glenn made a prolific amount of recordings in the auditorium at night when the store was closed. Some shopping centers then were built with fully equipped auditoriums and stages. Glenn didn't fly for nearly a decade at that point and didn't care for the trip to New York anymore. With permission, they set up a portable studio with equipment Glenn had purchased to replicate the recording process used in the Masterworks studio.
The doors were shut years later and the operations stopped. Eaton's announced its plans for a larger shopping center downtown to expand the store. Having two stores in operation was redundant, so Glenn and Andrew in the midst of their own operations, were made to look elsewhere.
Their were no recordings the following year due Glenn's physical difficulties with the control of his hands. Glenn and Andy returned to the gutted Eaton's center wheb they discovered the auditoium was still partially intact. The building had no heat or running water. There were a few lightbulbs, a few walls, and a fog of plaster dust. Portable heaters ran on high but were only used between recording sets since they emitted such a loud roar. Only a handfull of recordings were made here until Kazdin was fired for failing to use the new digital decks to record the concert of a different artist. Kazdin was allowed to continue to work producing Glenn's records though since they had a working relationship for over a decade and a half. Glenn preferred to produce on his own and ended abruptly the relaitonship. The point to this history: The building where Glenn made his recordings has not been an Eaton's department store for almost twenty years now.
An email from Daniel Burke - / Oct 25, 2010 Michael,
Attached are some pictures, as requested, of my self-guided GG tour.
A few notes: Gould's neighborhood looks to be largely unchanged in the time that's passed he himself did. The streetcar still runs right down St. Clair Ave, the building in which he lived is still lovely inside and out (with an easily public-accessible lobby, and a historical marker), and there's a park dedicated to his memory about a half-block west of the building. The park is home to a children's playset, a gorgeous old tree, and a lovely statue of Peter Pan, capturing, seemingly, Gould's innocence of spirit.
The Fran's Diner in his neighborhood is now a chain coffee shop/patisserie, but other restaurants in the Fran's chain are still around in Toronto and worth a visit for a decent burger and some sweet potato fries.
The Gould plot at Mount Pleasant Cemetery (a two-transit or cab ride from his home) is a bit of a hike to find, but touching - especially the opening notes to the Goldberg Variations engraved on his personal marker. A few fans have left behind mementos, including (on my visit at least) flowers and a small figurine of a squirrel.
The church where his funeral was held (St. Paul's Bloor Street) is a beautiful building unto itself and worth a visit for any of the faithful. Much of it has been recently modernized/added-to, but the main worship area is still as impressive as it must have been in 1982.
I missed stopping by the very-accessible statue of him outside the CBC studies in downtown (and missed the obligatory "I'm talking to Glenn Gould!" photo op) but if I ever return it would rank high on a list of places to visit.
Hope this helps. Let me know when/if you have a chance to update the webpage. I strongly encourage you to at least keep it live, since others must certainly be reaping the benefits of your work as I did.
Thanks again for all your efforts. Only through work like that can we fans help maintain the importance of Gould's history, to the wonderful blessing his music is in all of our lives.
Best wishes, Daniel

Except in 2011, Cribbs has generally not been a factor in the passing game. He may get more run at wideout with the Raiders, but his real value is as a kick and punt returner, where he has scored 11 career touchdowns (compared to just seven TD receptions). Worth a flyer in leagues that count return stats.

Insight, innovation, and the big picture in system design

Abstract: | Systems architecting is the design phase where the top-level functions and performance of a system are distributed over the system's parts, its environment, and its users. Up till now, system architects had to largely learn the required skills in practice. Some courses exist that teach the right attitude and mindset for the system architect. However, methods for architecting that can be implemented in a computer tool are virtually nonexistent. Earlier we presented a method, FunKey Architecting, which may aid the system architect in the early phase of design. In combination with TRIZ a design tool is created, which can be used to simplify and improve system architectures. It aims at supporting both the system designer and the specialist designers working on systems. The main topic of the paper is the application of the method in two industrial cases. The one case is an environment where new technology has to be developed and state of the art physics have to meet machine construction principles. The other case is in an industry where well-proven technology is used in such a way that high-performance machines are created. A third application of the FunKey tool is performed by students at the University of Twente. The context of each case and the results will be described |

Greenhouse Gases Versus Nuclear Power Risk in Suburban NYC: Pick Your Poison
December 9, 2007
Our Towns
The Power Grid Game: Choose a Catastrophe
By PETER APPLEBOME
The megawattage was higher than normal, but the politics sounded familiar when Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo, with Democratic politicians and antinuclear activists in tow, dropped a rhetorical bomb on the Indian Point nuclear power plant on Monday.
Not only should the Nuclear Regulatory Commission deny an application to renew its license, Mr. Cuomo said, but "Indian Point should be closed, and it should be closed now." For those who missed the urgency, he added, "Indian Point is, in my opinion, a catastrophe waiting to happen."
Well, an ambitious Democratic politician in these parts can never go wrong railing against Indian Point — the more apocalyptic the language, the better. But even in the kingdom where the word "no" forever reigns supreme, closing Indian Point raises its share of vexing questions.
For starters: Is New York prepared to increase carbon emissions and perhaps flunk its goals under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative to close Indian Point? In whose neighborhoods in Westchester or Rockland Counties is it prepared to build the power plants that would replace it? Is the possibility of more expensive and less reliable electricity an acceptable trade-off for not having to worry about Indian Point? If Indian Point poses an unacceptable risk, shouldn't the dozens of nuclear plants in metropolitan areas around the country and the world close as well? And we're comfortable with those carbon trade-offs too?
In the end, they come down to this: Do the forever-green, antinuke politics of the 1970s hold up in the global warming era of 2007? Think before you answer.
NUCLEAR power isn't the most lovable of alternatives, and if you live in Westchester County, as I do, the specter of Indian Point is one of the constants of local discourse, like college admissions hysteria, real estate anxiety and Bill and Hillary sightings.
Indian Point's critics say its safety record over the years has been too flawed, the population around it too large, the evacuation plans too inadequate to keep it open. You think, if they can't get the sirens to operate, maybe there are bigger worries.
(Of course, it was New York State that sold this alleged catastrophe in the making to its current owners just six years ago, but we'll let that pass.)
There's plenty of hyperbole on both sides, and Entergy Nuclear, the plant's owner, seems able to spend money like a drunken sailor to get its message out. Nuclear power's most effective spokesman may be Patrick Moore, a founder and former member of the environmental group Greenpeace, who has been hired by the nuclear industry to promote the technology.
He says the resurgence of nuclear energy around the world — even in ultragreen countries like Finland — reflects the simple fact that nuclear power has more potential to replace and reduce carbon emissions than anything else, and that, leaving out the Model T technology of Chernobyl, its worldwide safety record remains almost impeccable.
"What drives me nuts," he said, " is that the environmental movement itself has become the primary obstacle to reducing fossil fuel emissions. Energy and climate are two sides of the same coin, and they've got it completely backward. Either you quit worrying about climate change and go on burning fossil fuels or you accept nuclear energy and get off fossil fuels. They're stuck between a rock and a hard place of their own making."
Of course, if you factor in conservation and alternative energy, there should be other options. And maybe the biggest obstacle to nuclear power has been cost, not pesky enviros. But for now, all the painless green alternatives like massive conservation, smart building, solar power, wind power, ocean waves and the rest that are supposed to allow us to do without nuclear power are still minor parts of the equation.
Unless Mr. Cuomo succeeds in closing Indian Point tomorrow, we might hope for two things as its relicensing process plods on.
One, says Alex Matthiessen, president of Riverkeeper in Westchester, is a far more thorough hearing than the Nuclear Regulatory Commission seems to have in mind — one that looks at issues like evacuation plans, vulnerability to terrorist attacks, potential leaks from spent fuel pools and other issues. A 20-year renewal for a nuclear plant in the most populous part of the country shouldn't be a rubber stamp.
The second is some kind of urgency about all the painless alternatives that are supposed to let us do without Indian Point and plants like it. As it is, we don't want windmills off Long Island, and we don't want the proposed Broadwater floating natural gas plant in Long Island Sound. We almost certainly don't want a tunnel under the Sound. We don't want Indian Point, and we sure as heck wouldn't want a substantial plant to replace it. We want our bloated S.U.V.s and Hummers and the energy-hogging McMansions that the banks haven't taken back. yet.
Maybe Santa is out there 365 days a year, and maybe we can turn all of Wyoming into a windmill farm that will solve everyone's problems. Or maybe getting to a sane energy future is a lot more complicated than scaring people to death about Indian Point.

Moorman Sisters Cemetery
in Comanche Co., Texas, is
located about 200 feet west of St Hwy 16 between De Leon and Desdemona,
about 100 yards
south of CR 4981 turnoff. This cemetery is tiny, about 4 feet by 6 feet,
containing the graves of 2 little sisters who died of flu.
Local legend says the family could only afford
one good tombstone which appears
to be white marble. The other stone is no longer legible.
The gravesites are surrounded by a stone curb and a wire fence. A scrubby
little tree on each side
makes it more visible.

Origin of clusters. III. On the possibilities of production of mixed water-organic solute clusters under fast-atom bombardment at subzero temperatures
UNSPECIFIED. (1998) Origin of clusters. III. On the possibilities of production of mixed water-organic solute clusters under fast-atom bombardment at subzero temperatures. EUROPEAN MASS SPECTROMETRY, 4 (1). pp. 31-37. ISSN 1356-1049
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The conditions necessary for formation of mixed water-organic solute clusters under fast-atom bombardment at low temperatures have been investigated by means of mass spectrometry, In the cases of water-ethanol and water-formaldehyde solutions it was concluded that mixed clusters originate from the liquid phase in which the samples exist at certain temperatures as predicted by the phase diagrams of these mixtures, It was found that the observed pattern of mixed clusters was independent of the initial ratio of water to ethanol, An explanation of this finding is suggested. In agreement with previous studies, clusters could not be produced from hydrogen-bonded organic solids. It was, however, found to be possible to sputter hydrate clusters from solid polyoxymethylene derivatives (formed during freezing of formaldehyde-water solutions), due, it is suggested, to a predominance of van-der-Waals type interactions among the oligomers in this solid. Results are discussed in relation to the biophysical and cryobiological problems of stable hydrates, strongly-bound water and mechanisms of action of cryoprotector compounds.

Style: Jujitsu Aikido Bodycombat--I think Star Wars and LOTR have a simpler good vs evil / do the right thing sort of vibe. The Narnia series however does contain a lot of Christian symbolism but since the CS Lewis was a well-known Christian apologist and writer it's not really surprising. I've read quite a few of his books (fiction and non-fiction) and he's one of my favourite writers. He does a very good job of explaining Christianity without all the crap.
As a Christian myself I've met Christians who practise Martial Arts themselves and other Christians who condemn the Martial Arts because they're full of eastern mysticism???

C.A.M.P Tri-cams
�11 - 19 depending on size, added Oct/2008, see all C.A.M.P news & reviewsReviewed by TobyA
My full trad rack comprises of a double set of nuts plus RPs and HB brassies; cams from #0 to #6 including most of the half sizes, and then a full set of Rockcentrics. Even taking into account that modern gear is ridiculously light � that is still a lot of gear. Of course I would very rarely take all that gear on a route, but even on the type of Norwegian granite mountain routes I love � long multipitch routes, with full rope lengths of hard (for me) but well-protected cracks and where you still need enough gear to build two belays, that rack is still enough. So despite knowing about tricams from the beginning of my climbing career nearly two decades ago, I've never felt the need to get some.
So the basics: tricams are a simple but very clever design. They can be used passively �
like an oddly shaped nut, or actively where a pull on the sling pivots the camming side of
the tricam against the rock � sort of like a Friend but with only one cam. They are very
simple to use, although are more fiddly than stuffing in a more normal cam. I of course
jumped straight on the lead to try them out, and didn't find it hard to get going with
them � although practice definitely helps in �cocking� them: getting the sling to run over
the top of metal bit so that it can be used in the camming mode.
They are easy to place in vertical cracks � but at least in the sizes I have been testing showed no obviously advantages over standard nuts or small to medium cams, and are more fiddly to place. They seem to be of more use in horizontal breaks and cracks, and come into their own particular in shallow breaks where potentially you could put a friend but it probably would not work. Many particularly recommend them for pocketed rock where they will fit placements where nothing else does � but climbing on granite I have not actually had the opportunity to try this logical sounding idea out. Once you place a tricam in camming mode, you seat it by a sharp tug on the sling. Once this is done I was amazed at how unwilling they were to un-cam and fall out. The standard nylon slings that mine came with are rather short and stiff (lighter dyneema versions are available) and I presumed I would need to clip in with a quickdraw all the time. But even clipping the sling directly to the rope with just one krab seemed fine, and no amount of rope-play would dislodge the tricam. This seemed even true for quite marginal looking placements. I have to admit that I have not actually taken a fall on to any of these placements so far so can not swear to their strength, but at the very least tricams seem most unwilling to rattle out of placements before you need them, something that easily happens with nuts in marginal horizontal placements if you don't extend them carefully.
No less an expert than Andy Kirkpatrick sings the tricam's praises for winter climbing, because they will cam in icy cracks where normal cams are dangerous. Some crazy Americans even claim you can cam the bigger sizes between rock and ice � although rather them than me on actually falling onto that. But there is no doubt that in comparison to normal cams, tricams are light, cheap and pretty close to unbreakable. I got to test the 'standard pack' of four ranging from size 0.5 (pink) to 2 (blue). One friend was telling me that she is banned from placing the pink when climbing with her husband as his fingers are too fat to get it out when seconding! This is actually a semi-serious point, because although you can un-cam a placement with a nut key, you still generally need to get your fingers on it to get it out.
The other two tricams I was sent to test are their new mini ones the 0.25 and the toylike 0.125 is rated at 3 KNs in active and only 2 KNs in passive mode; the 0.25 is rated at 5 and 3 KNs respectively. They probably have their role as vital runners on a few chop routes, but anyone who wants to do those routes probably won't need to be reading this review and will know what a Screamer is.
The fact that tricams are so popular particularly in the US says a lot for them � I suspect that in areas where the rock strata tends to be horizontal or pocketed is where they really come into their own. If that sounds like your local area then they are well worth checking out. I have perhaps come to tricams a bit late in my career to really join the cult, but you can teach even old dogs a few new tricks after all and a two or three tricams lurking on the back of your harness weighs hardly anything but definitely give you a good few possibilities for placements that you wouldn't have without them.

Mobile clinics take health care to the Somali displaced
Listen /
Scores of people living in a camp in the Somali capital of Mogadishu are to receive free medical care through mobile clinics.
Three thousand Somalis arrived in Karibu camp last year fleeing a severe drought as well as violence fostered by the activities of the al-Shabaab terrorist group.
The African Mission in Somalia, (AMISOM) and Hope for Life International (HILI) are behind the initiative that has made the health care possible.

Social Question
Should gay guys have their own locker room?
Asked by bucko (648
December 28th, 2012
I don't even use the locker room at either gym I go to nowadays because of all the gay men doing inappropriate things to one another . You can go in the locker room at any time of the day and see gay guys going back and forth from the shower to sauna, not even making an attempt to leave the locker room and use the gym for what it was intended to be used for.
I think the gays should have their own locker room. Am I wrong?

A positron annihilation study of corrosion of aluminum and aluminum alloy by NaOH
Wu, Y. C., Zhai, T. and Coleman, P. G., 2012. A positron annihilation study of corrosion of aluminum and aluminum alloy by NaOH. Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A, 43 (8), pp. 2823-2831.

Corrosion of fully-annealed pure aluminum and a continuous-cast AA2037 aluminum alloy (solutionized and water quenched) in a 1M NaOH solution for various periods of time were analyzed with positron beam-based Doppler broadening spectroscopy. By varying the energy of the incident positron beam, corrosion-induced defects at different depths from the surface were detected. It was found that the Doppler-broadened annihilation line-width parameter was significantly increased near the surface of pure aluminum after corrosion, probably due to the interaction between positrons and nanometer-sized voids formed near the aluminum surface during corrosion. Examination by atomic force microscopy indicated that many pits were formed on the aluminum surface after corrosion. In contrast, a significant decrease in the line-width parameter was observed in AA2037 alloy after corrosion and interpreted as being caused by copper enrichment at the metal-oxide interface during corrosion; such enrichment at large cavity sites was confirmed by energy dispersion spectrometry.

Congrats to Balazs and Kai for winning the Getty Grants. Congrats to Scott Lewis too (not sure if you're a Lighstalker). Balazs is a talent and a great guy, and Kai knows more about the middle east than anyone this side of Fareed Zakaria. Balazs, does this mean next time you're in New York you're buying? More at PDN.

IT WOULD be a good question for the quiz game Trivial Pursuit. What has the National Rifle Association (NRA), America's powerful pro-gun lobbying outfit, got in common with Syria, Iran and North Korea? The answer: all are opposed to the global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) which was overwhelmingly approved by 154 countries on April 2nd by the General Assembly of the United Nations.
The next stage is for those countries which voted for the treaty to begin formally signing up to it in early June. Each signatory country will then have to ratify it at home. The treaty will come into legal force 90 days after the 50th country has ratified it—perhaps as soon as the end of this year. For some, ratification will be a simple process; for others it could prove harder.
The Obama administration is a strong supporter and likely to sign up soon. But getting the two-thirds majority in the Senate needed for ratification will be a struggle, even though the American Bar Association has confirmed the treaty does not infringe any constitutional right to bear arms (as the NRA claims). America's defence industry also supports it, hoping to bring other countries' arms exporters closer to the high standards it operates under.
Whatever difficulties may lie ahead, supporters of the treaty to regulate the $70-billion-a-year trade in arms are jubilant. It is the climax of a campaign that began a decade ago. It had especially strong support from African and Caribbean countries where society has been torn apart by civil war or transnational crime, both stoked by the illicit trade in small arms. The deal involved compromises: for example, a weaker section on munitions. But what a senior diplomat close to the negotiations describes as "the heart" of the treaty—the prohibitions section—is alive and beating.
The ATT requires states to establish regulations for arms imports and exports in eight main categories: battle tanks, armoured combat vehicles, large-calibre artillery, combat aircraft, attack helicopters, warships, missiles and missile launchers, and small arms and light weapons. They must assess whether their transfer could lead to serious violations of international humanitarian law, terrorism or organised crime. They must take into account the risk of serious acts of violence against civilians, particularly women and children. An overriding risk of any of these consequences means states must block the deal.
States must also report annually on all their arms transfers to a UN-run "implementation support unit". The aim is to shine a light on a previously murky business and make governments accountable under the terms of the treaty. The main sanction is embarrassment. That may seem feeble, but previous treaties on landmines and cluster bombs have set a new global norm which makes it shameful to use such weapons indiscriminately.
The abstainers include big arms exporters (China and Russia) and importers (India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Indonesia). But they may sign up later. Russia says it needs more time, while China (surprising some) played a constructive role, apparently influenced by the African countries with which it has forged close commercial ties. Both may find they pay an economic price if their arms industries are increasingly excluded from global supply chains. It will take time for new standards of behaviour to establish themselves, but the push has begun and the treaty can be further strengthened over time. For the moment, says a diplomat involved with the treaty over many years, what has been achieved is "pretty damn good".
