I'm glad I'm not the only one doubting this advice!
Emil - I shoot Agfa at an EI of 100, I develop using a semi stand technique, or minimal agitation (agitate full first minute, then once ever three minutes; two inversions) for 16 minutes at 70*F at the 1+1+100 dilution. In fact it works so well I wish I had more, but I'm also very satisfied with my results with Tri-X and FP4, so I won't be lamenting the demise of APX 100 or 400 any time soon.

2006 BEST French Restaurant, Affordable
Sandrine's Bistro
The ambiance seems a touch suburban. But no matter: At Sandrine's, all eyes are on chef Raymond Ost's accessible French classics. Follow a salmon crepe starter with seared sea scallops and mashed potatoes piqued with sauerkraut or the house speciality, an Alsatian tarte flambé. Even the (quelle blaspheme!) meatless options (eggplant and cheese ravioli, stuffed artichoke) are fantastic.

The Morning News — Melanie Moore
Bingham County Sheriff's Capt. Robert Sobieski and Sheriff Dave Johnson help Blackfoot Community Learning Charter School fifth graders Benson Isom and Jacob Christiansen load more than 950 food items into the Sheriff's vehicle. Students at the school collected the items for the Southeastern Idaho Community Action Agency in December. The Sheriff's Office volunteered to transport the donations to SEICAA. Student Trey Underwood, not pictured, also helped load the items.
BLACKFOOT — Bingham County commissioners unanimously denied a request by the Four Seasons Ranch Subdivision at 35 S. 250 East, Blackfoot to re-plat two lots into three. The subdivision is four miles east of Blackfoot off Rich Lane.
The recommendation from the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) commissioners was to deny this request because of concerns about the water system and whether it would be able to handle additional septic systems.
At an earlier P&Z hearing, residents in the subdivision presented evidence of high nitrate levels of private wells.
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — State spending on public schools would increase more than $30 million next year under the governor's proposed budget, which also includes a $21 million boost in general funding for Idaho's colleges and universities.
Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter on Monday also proposed replenishing the rainy day account for public schools and kicking in the first state payment to a similar account for higher education.
Public schools chief Tom Luna wanted at least $60 million of a projected state surplus to go toward the public education budget in the fiscal year that starts July 1.
BLACKFOOT — When a potential customer whizzed past Trestlewood's yard adjacent to Interstate 15, he spied what he thought were railroad ties.
When Alice Cannon, a founder of the company with her husband John, tried to tell that customer that Trestlewood didn't carry or sell railroad ties, he asked to speak to a man.
Bob Cannon, Alice's son and one of the owners, also told him that much of the company's inventory is reclaimed railroad trestles.
"We started taking down a railroad trestle across the Great Salt Lake in 1993," Bob said of the company's beginnings.

We spent Memorial Day weekend in the Berkshires, shooting an editorial style "story" for Babesta in the woods. (You can take the girl out of the city…) We rented a U-haul and brought up cribs, strollers, Fall 2013 fashions and more! There was definitely a point in time that I thought I had totally lost it (light rain, wind & back-breaking set building) – but the result will be beautiful, thanks to an amazing team, including photographer Katrina Tang & stylist Michel Onofrio! Stay tuned. Here's a little behind the scenes peek! (who's behind that big, big book!?)
Just got our Wild & Wolf back in the store – some magical gifts for summer birthday parties and for today and tomorrow only, we're offering 20% off. We read in Departures that with the return of Arrested Development, magicians are totes "in" so you can help kids get their magic on with some tricks of the trade. (Gotta love G.O.B. Bluth as a role model). Balloon Animals, Juggling Sets, Magic Tricks and more! http://www.babesta.com/Wild-and-Wolf/
For 20% off all Wild & Wolf on Thurs & Friday, use code WildMay.
It was a gorgeous weekend for TOAST of Tribeca this month, and I scooped up the kids and decided to make the artwalk our Sunday event. Both of my girls love art and I thought it would be fun for them (and me) to see how many artists and how much creative talent is all around us. The work we saw was amazingly diverse and it was really a kick getting into all of these studio spaces that dotted around the area. We do see a lot of spaces of course when doing local deliveries, but many of these were in buildings that I've never been in, with hallways dedicated to artists and their work.
Although I loved many of the artists, a couple stood out to me from a "Babesta" point of view. The first is Elizabeth Pantirer, who's unique shoe-art featured running shoes morphed with creatures of the sea and land. Very cool stuff and I thought something that would be awesome for a kids' room (something sweet for a newborn crafted from a first pair of shoes? Or something super cool for a tween/teen room with a fave pair of kicks as a conversation piece). I reached out to Elizabeth to hear a little bit more about her funky creations. –JC
We're all about cool kicks at Babesta – What inspired you work with sneakers?
I was first inspired in the summer of 2009 when I wore my running shoes out. They were just about to have holes when I decided to retire them. I experienced some amazing runs in those shoes and I wanted to turn them into an art project in which I could portray the determination and ferocity I felt when running in these shoes. I then developed my first sneaker monster.
How long have you been doing this? What's your background?
I've been making sneakers for almost 4 years now. I am a student at the New School and although I am not a fine arts major I do take advantage of the amazing fine arts and crafting classes they offer.
What sort of materials do you use to build your sneaker-art? How's it done?
I like to mold the shoe from the inside out into the shape that I desire. I cut into the shoe to shape the mouth and then mold the inside to keep the mouth opened. I then use a very lightweight clay to mold what the outside will look like. Once I've done this I can paint it and adhere it to the shoe. I use different types of adhesives based on the size of the clay being adhered, the effect and the weight. I have also used Halloween props (a fake finger for a shark) and gardening props (fake grass for elephants).
How was TOAST this year? Have you done it in the past?
TOAST this year was absolutely phenomenal. The studio I showed in had a lot of traffic over the weekend and a lot of people took interest in my shoes. This is the 4th year that I have been involved with TOAST. After my first year in the show a hip-hop sneaker organization contacted me about my sneaker monster and invited me into one of their shows.
You said you have done baby shoes too (what animal?) -that's pretty cool – any other standout custom requests you've had?
Last year I was commissioned to make baby shoes for a newborn baby. I took 2 sneakers and turned them into elephants and aligned them one behind the other. One elephant (the one in the back) was slightly smaller than the other and had its trunk wrapped around the tail of the bigger elephant. After this TOAST event I have been asked to make custom sneakers for a newborn boy. The couple come from Japan and Italy and I have been working on making one sneaker a koi fish and the other a stallion.
Custom shoes range about $200+. For more info, email Elizabeth Pantirer at email@example.com.
At Babesta, we curate everything for a cool city child. That's any global urban mecca – from Stockholm to Sydney, Brooklyn to Berlin. For any NYC aficianados we have mixed together some of our hometown faves! Check out our latest goods answering the call of the city kid!Go to http://ow.ly/kO1rf to check out our full city selection!
So I was just chatting with my daughter about what she was planning to make for her science project (she's studying inventors & inventions). She was describing a personalized weather machine she was seriously considering (biting off a bigger meatball than I would do!) and I asked her who would choose rain? She countered: think of the pairings – I want sun, you want rain, together: Rainbow! Touché: it's "you've got your chocolate in my peanut butter" thinking. Better together.
Pondering how we would create such a thing, I stumbled upon the MOMA's new exhibit Rain Room that begins May 12. While I doubt we will be busy at home tinkering with some GPS based weather contraption, (what I wouldn't give today for some yesterday-like weather), we will definitely wait in line to check it out next week at the MOMA.
The room is designed by Random International, and it's taking place in a lot next to the museum. Basically it's pouring, but when it detects you, the rain opens up to let you by, giving you the feeling of 'controlling the weather'. Sounds super fun!
I'm totally psyched to have Tannhauser in the house! These awesome grey and neon green clogs had me doing backflips when I first saw them. I remember having clogs as a kid – there is just something about the retro slip on that rocks & with the day glo detailing, well, we're sold.
Dig em? Come in to see 'if the shoe fits…' These will start in the store before they hit our site, so either pop in or give us a buzz if you can't live without! 212 608 4522 / Babesta 66 West Broadway NYC.
We're super excited to welcome Nununu to the Babesta store! We love this brand with its bold stars and pops of neon. It's perhaps the coolest layette I've found in a long time! The funky toddler styles, from tees and onesies to dresses and shrugs are amazing as well. Made in Israel. Shop Nununu here!
We are super excited to just get Mini Rodini's spring/summer 13 collection in-store. We saw it first this past summer, when in Stockholm on a vacay and couldn't get enough of the tassels, bows, animal prints, palm trees & parrots. Here's a little sampling of our first delivery!
Online, you'll be able to shop it here:http://www.babesta.com/Mini-Rodini/ but for now, it's in store, until our website elves get it photographed and processed, so first dibs is at 66 West Broadway at Warren. 212 608 4522.
I've spent the last couple days hot footing it around NYIGF, checking out the latest & greatest from a lot of our favorite brands. I spent most of my time in Design & Baby and Child but was happy to catch a couple great finds from a section dubbed NY Newest.
From new twists on our fave funky backpacks to pattern mixing on porcelin plates here's a mashup of things that will be on our store shelves soon or simply inspired us!

Marc Savard and the cap
posted at 6/4/2012 12:10 PM EDTIn another thread some posters were explaining how LTIR works with the cap. Some good information there, thanks. Seems Savard's cap hit is an annoyance. It can be used but it only in certain ways. It would be helpfull to clear it completely if possible. Unlike Thomas, if Savard retires, the cap his is gone, correct? The issue becomes Savard getting paid. Can't he retire for medical reasons and have insurance pay his salary? I'm sure this must be common. His no trade clause expires 2014, so if they could in theory trade him to a cap floor challenged team as his salary drops off the face of the earth after that. At what point do you, as GM, push this issue?

Hello Jinjoo,
In my recent batch of red pepper kimchi, I tried putting in less salt during picking and also reduce the amount of fish sauce for fermentation. ( cut down salt level for health reasons)
For fermentation. .I usually leave it in 26 deg room temperature for ~36 hours.
For the recent 'less salt' batch, I leave it in same 26 deg room temp but for only 12 hrs.
( I used some of my previous delicious brine to ferment)
Only 12 hrs of fermentation as I noticed it turn sour quickily..I keep it in the fridge but it looks very raw even after 10 days..
This is the first time I don't draw out any brine during fermentation. And the top layer looks weird. .and I decided to discard only the top layer and below them are good smelling kimchi !!
Three weeks into the well fermented less salty batch in the fridge..this kimchi taste as good as my previous delicious batch (made from korean nahpa cabbage)
I'm so glad it had ripen well in the fridge.
–I wonder why there is no brine draws out during fermentation ? …could it be the short fermentation period even I use old brine to speed up fermentation.
— Can dongchimi brine be taken just by itself ? I made dongchimi and let it turn into good healing brine in the fridge. (1st batch…7th October 2013)
it turns out delicious and saving all brine for cold noodles.

Oberlin College will host a groundbreaking celebration at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 12 for the Peter B. Lewis Gateway Center.
The ceremony will take place in the front parking lot of the Oberlin Inn along South Main Street followed by a picnic under the back patio.
Construction is not beginning on the new hotel just yet because the college still needs the Oberlin planning commission to approve a few site plan items — landscape, lighting, parking layout, utilities, and a new layout plan for where Lorain National Bank was supposed to be built.
Commission members are expected to address the remaining site plan items at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 18.

How does the college administration feel about all this? Mum's the word so far. SmithieGirls' webmistress has heard that the suits do in fact know about it, but no one has sent her a cease-and-desist letter or tried to shut down her budding empire. We chicks complain (and we have a right to) that there is simply not enough high-quality porn produced by and for women. The prestigious college that all the women of SmithieGirls.com currently attend happens to have a long list of notable alumni and an enormous endowment. Wouldn't it be nice if an alumnus donated some cash for the express purpose of funding porn projects like photo exhibits, a magazine, a Web site, even an entire video line? They could expand the film department to include a concentration in erotic filmmaking, and Vivid Video, VCA, and Wicked Pictures could sponsor an erotic film festival, and recruit talented seniors to join the ranks when they graduate. It could develop a reputation as the place that cultivates young feminist pornographers. I can dream, can't I?

Bullion Bulls Canada) -- In
However, precious metals investors don't have to limit themselves to just those two reasons why bullion prices must rise dramatically over the longer term. There is a "third leg" to this argument, an equally powerful dynamic also unequivocally certain to lead to much higher gold and silver prices.
I refer to the third leg of the precious metals bull as "demographics," but in actuality this is just a reference to some of the extremely potent supply/demand fundamentals certain to drive bullion prices much higher.

Hardware market up by 2 per cent
Market research firm International Data Corporation (IDC) said the hardware and peripherals market in India grew by 2 per cent in 2012, when compared to the previous year.
Total shipments stood at 3.2 million units. The market in India was primarily driven by laser multi-function printers, which marked a remarkable year-on-year growth of 35.3 per cent, according to a press release.
Mohit Raizada, senior market analyst at IDC said: "Despite end user promotions and heavy marketing campaigns by all the leading vendors, inkjet market was not able to sustain the interest levels with the end users, who prefer to spend their budgets on other consumer products such as smartphones and tablets. Peripheral products such as printers remain a secondary product for Indian consumers."

SALEM -- The Oregon Parole Board Tuesday denied parole for inmate Sidney Dean Porter, who killed an Oregon police officer in 1992.
John Day police officer Frank Ward was murdered while responding to a domestic violence call at Porter's house. Porter killed Ward with his bare hands and with a piece of firewood.
Porter promised during last month's parole board hearing that would never turn violent again. He also said he didn't remember the night of the murder because he had been drinking.
The county attorney argued that Porter is still a huge threat to society and cannot be trusted to remain nonviolent.
Tuesday the board issued an order to defer his projected release date until June 7, 2015. Another hearing was scheduled in February 2015.
Background: Family, officers urge no release for Porter

Maybe it's a pain to go to a sleep clinic to be monitored, but it seems one more fretful night's sleep is worth it in the long run for those who'd like to see a few more sunsets and high tides.
"In a society that pushes through the day, I used to say, 'I'll sleep when I'm dead,' " says Taylor, who travels to New York weekly during football season and takes his machine along. "With all due respect to Reggie and my buddy, I don't want to join them just yet.
"I call it the silent killer. I was dying. I was dying slowly. It's not snoring. Snoring is an indicator. It's when you stop breathing that the problem occurs. It's as prevalent as asthma."
The machine may not make it pretty or desirable, but it works. My father snored like nobody you can imagine. He died in his sleep. As far as we know, it could have been sleep apnea before anybody was aware of what sleep apnea was.
"We have to get into NFL locker rooms because of the high risk to athletes," Taylor says. "NFL linemen are four times more likely to have sleep apnea than the average person on the street in their age group. Not only the NFL, but colleges desperately need to test their athletes. A breathing player is a better player. You know (Vikings receiver) Percy Harvin and his migraine problems? They found he has sleep apnea.
"So it involves me dealing with a machine and wearing a mask at night. I think about my kids, think about my wife, and I think about them being at my funeral and saying it's too bad dad didn't stick with it."
So it isn't fashionable. How many people judge you while you sleep? And it beats the alternative.

The Curmudgeon is gone! I've never seen an announcer suck the life out of the sport they announce like Packer did.
The Curmudgeon is gone! I've never seen an announcer suck the life out of the sport they announce like Packer did.
Variatio delectat - Cicero
I was about to post this too. He long outlived his welcome. He became what seemed like tired old grouchy man. Not to mention his obvious bias towards the ACC. He was part of the best announcing team college basketball has had. He teamed along with Dick Enberg and Al McGuire for a few seasons while at NBC. I always laughed when McGuire would scold Packer for well......being Packer.
Reds Fan Since 1971
BTW, Packer is being replaced with Clark Kellogg. Now, just as a side note, look at all of the ex-OSU guys who have become big in broadcasting. Herbstreit, Kellogg, Chris Carter is working steadily, Speilman does ESPN games,
Variatio delectat - Cicero
He'll show up somewhere. ABC or ESPN would probably hire him.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
Reds Fan Since 1971
I wish they would drop Jim Nantz too. Nantz is too cheesy for me. He should stick to golf.
Variatio delectat - Cicero
Give me Gus Johnson over Nantz anyday. Nantz is good for golf but he annoys me so much when he does a marque football or basketball game. Johnson may be a little excitable but I take that over Nantz anyday.
Yeah, a guy like Packer might lose a job here or there, but there will always be someone else to hire him. You haven't seen the last of Billy Packer.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
Christmas came early this year.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
--Oscar Wilde
Worst national announcer in any sport, and that includes Tim McCarver. Hard to believe Packer stayed employed as long as he did.

State Bank of India (SBI)-led lenders are extending a fresh line of credit of Rs 3,000 crore to Mumbai-based Bharati Shipyard Ltd (BSL), which is undergoing corporate debt restructuring (CDR). The lenders have appointed international management consultant Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) to script a quick turnaround at India's second-largest private shipbuilder that saw its fortunes sink in a slowing economy.
The fresh loan includes working capital requirement as well as advance payment guarantees.
With this, BSL's total debt will shoot up to around Rs 8,000 crore.
As part of its ongoing restructuring, promoters have now pledged their entire 65% stake to SBI Cap Trustee Co, a wholly owned subsidiary of SBI Capital Markets Ltd, on behalf of lenders. This follows the conversion of 2.69 lakh compulsory convertible debentures (CCD) as well as 2.52 lakh warrants that promoters had invested as part of CDR.
In 2002, BSL promoters had infused Rs 118 crore fresh capital into the debt-laden company as a precondition to its Rs 5,800 crore debt restructuring plan.
BSL is likely to call an extra-ordinary general meeting (EGM) on May 21 to seek shareholders' nod for hiking borrowing power to Rs 20,000 crore. Its current borrowing power stands at Rs 7,000 crore.
When contacted by dna, a senior banker close to the BSL restructuring process said the lenders are yet to provide the fresh loan. "This proposal is under process," he said.
The company, promoted by two qualified naval architects from IIT Kharagpur, Prakash C Kapoor and Vijay Kumar having a vast experience is ship design, ship construction, is attempting a strong comeback with the help of lenders. "We hope to achieve break-even by the end of the current financial year," said a senior company official.
At present, BSL is operating at a paltry 10% of its installed capacity – at its shipyards in Ratnagiri, Dabhol (both in Maharashtra) and Mangalore due to paucity of funds.
Over the last couple of years, its employee base has shrunk one-third to around 4,000, including contract employees, after more than 2,000 employees left the company following delay in salary payments.
Salaries for two months were paid by the company recently, thanks to the debt extended by the lenders, after a long 5-6 months' delay. Another company official said wages of several employees are still pending.
"The additional loan facility will help us restart our yards as there is no dearth of ship building orders," said the official. He claimed orders worth over Rs 8,000 crore from coast guard and Indian Navy, especially patrol vessels and offshore vessels, are pending.
As BSL faced a severe cash crunch, which in turn jeopardised ship deliveries, several customers, including state-owned Shipping Corporation of India, had invoked bank guarantees.
"With the help of advanced payment guarantees from lenders, we are seeking new customers for our ships, primarily offshore vessels," said the official.
BSL's takeover in 2009 of Mumbai-based GOL Offshore (formerly Great Offshore) surviving a tough street battle by ABG Shipyard had led it into the initial debt trap, said industry officials.

Fresh Air Weekend: 'Blood Will Out,' An Opera Powerhouse And A Reading
Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors, and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
'Blood Will Out' Reveals Secrets Of A Murderous Master Manipulator: Author Walter Kirn thought he was befriending an eccentric Rockefeller, but his pal turned out to be an impostor wanted for murder. Kirn's new book explores the depths of that deception.
A Poetry Reading: 'To My Oldest Friend, Whose Silence Is Like A Death': Fresh Air's classical music critic Lloyd Schwartz recently published a poem about friendship and loss on Poets.org.
For Opera Powerhouse Dolora Zajick, 'Singing Is Connected To The Body': The mezzo-soprano discovered opera as a 22-year-old pre-med student. She took "a crack at a singing career" and has been at the Metropolitan Opera for 25 years. Now she's helping emerging singers.

Last Astronaut on Moon Welcomes New Travel
The last man on the moon, Eugene A. Cernan, said Wednesday he knew he wouldn't hold that distinction forever.
"I've been waiting for this day for 31 years," said Cernan, who was in the audience at NASA headquarters when President Bush outlined his proposal to continue America's journey into space with manned missions to the moon, to Mars and to worlds beyond.
Bush singled out Cernan and quoted what the astronaut said when he left the lunar surface: "We leave as we came, and God willing as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind."
"America will make those words come true," the president said.
Cernan, now 69, was commander of the Apollo 17 mission and set foot on the lunar surface in December 1972.
Cernan said that when he returned to Earth, he believed that America would someday launch new missions to the moon. "I said we're not only going to go back to the moon, we'll be on our way to Mars by the turn of the century."
"I was a little wrong in my timetable," he said, "but my glass was never half empty, it was always half full, and today the president allowed us a taste of what was in that glass."
Although Bush did not set a timetable for a Mars mission, aides said it would be later this century, sometime after 2030.
The Apollo 17 mission was Cernan's third space flight. All told, he logged 566 hours and 15 minutes in space during his career, of which more than 73 hours were spent on the moon's surface, according to NASA.

The Rite of Spring
"In order to create there must be a dynamic force, and what force is more potent than love?" - Igor Stravinsky
Hear the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra perform "The Rite of Spring" under Christopher Seaman. Also on the show: Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra and Vaughan Williams' Serenade to Music.
Hear it streaming during the broadcast Monday night at 8:00 p.m. on Classical 91.5.
Carmina Burana, page 1
My score of Carmina Burana is pretty gross. Coffee-stained, marked up, dog-eared. Once I left it on the kitchen counter and made enchiladas, so it even sports a few tomato stains. I've been using it for about a decade, and I think I've performed Carl Orff's work about eight times.
Maybe I'll trade it in someday and start with a fresh copy. But for now, this one is a well-loved map of a favorite country. A smutronstalle. A wild strawberry place.
I sang Carmina Burana with the Rochester Phil and Rochester Oratorio Society last May, and that concert will air on Monday, September 1st at 8:00 p.m. on Classical 91.5 FM.
Being a radiohead, I love the sound of sound, you know? Recorded sound. In this case, I admit the broadcast has nothing on the live experience. But it's still worth a listen.
Bad news for the RPO
First of all, thank you for reading my blog. Thanks, too, to the creative readers who submitted captions in my contest. I'll announce the winner early next week, after I poll a panel of non-experts.
Today, a bit of news about the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra.
the mediator
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
- Ludwig van Beethoven
Update: Due to a technical error during the broadcast, WXXI will re-air this concert Sunday afternoon, June 29th at 1:00 p.m.
Hear Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony (Symphony No. 6) played by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra Monday at 8:00 p.m. on Classical 91.5 FM, 90.3 or streaming.
Deus ex Machina
Music by black and Latino composers accounts for less than one percent of the music performed by American orchestras each year. The Sphinx Commissioning Consortium aims to boost that percentage. Last week, it announced that Puerto Rican-born Roberto Sierra has been selected to compose the first work commissioned by twelve American orchestras, including the RPO.
BTW, Monday night, June 16th at 8:00 p.m. the RPO plays the Rochester premiere of different a piece it co-commissioned in 2007, Deus ex Machina. It's not a game. Click here for a preview!
Weekend Update
Monday night, June 9th, the RPO plays Métaboles (Metamorphoses) by the living French composer Henri Dutilleux.
"In the conception of this work," Dutilleux wrote, "the composer never ceased to dream of the mysterious and compelling realm of eternal metamorphosis. The spirit and the form of the music find their origins in an intense contemplation of nature."
Hear it Monday at 8:00 p.m. on Classical 91.5 FM, 90.3 or streaming.
Total Re-Carmina
I was just delivered a copy of the RPO's performance of Carmina Burana! I'm almost afraid to listen to it.
RPO principal flutist Rebecca Gilbert once told me she put off hearing recordings of herself in live performances, especially ones that went well. Said she'd rather hold onto her memory.
I think I know what she means. But I'll listen anyway and report back.
A Sea Symphony
When soprano Jane Eaglen and baritone Dean Elzinga walked out onto the stage of Eastman Theatre last October, I expected to be dazzled by Eaglen's powerhouse, Wagnerian voice. But Elzinga was a surprise, equally forceful in Ralph Vaughan Williams' Sea Symphony, based on Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass." Elzinga delivered a warm, rich tone similar to that of Bryn Terfel, but with a mournful aspect. He was, in a word, spooky.
RPO's first downloadable album ever
Jeff Tyzik, speaking with Julia Figueras, just announced that the RPO's new CD, HONOR: Portraits of America, will be downloadable. That's a first for the orchestra.

The supercomfortable Sony MDR-1A does a good job balancing clarity with just enough of laid-backness to make it a very versatile headphone that's well worth considering if you're looking for a full-size headphone in the $250-$300 range.

The MDR-A35G headphones are ideal for active pursuits, such as jogging.
With its weak sound and minimal noise cancellation, the Sony MDR-G94NC is all style and no substance.

Jeff Giles had to open the McMaster athletics' trophy case Saturday night.
The McMaster athletics' director might want to keep the keys handy.
After a come-from-behind win over the Western Mustangs, the Marauder men will be seeking the school's first national men's volleyball crown when it heads to Laval for the Canadian Interuniversity Sports national championships this weekend.
The second-ranked crew in all of Canada claimed the provincial championship Saturday — it's fifth overall and fourth in the past six seasons — capping a pretty heady weekend for Hamilton volleyball squads.
The unsung Mohawk Mountaineers dropped a heartbreaking five-set contest to the Nipissing Lakers on Saturday at the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association championships at Sheridan College to claim a provincial silver. Mohawk had bested Redeemer and Algonquin to make it to the championship contest.
Mountaineers' Mo Sulaiman and Trevor McLaughlin were named to the championship all-star team.
The Redeemer Royals rebounded from that loss to Mohawk to claim the bronze medal by topping Niagara three sets to one. It was quite a season for the Royals, at one time ranked No. 2 among Canadian colleges. Redeemer head coach Wyne Harris was named OCAA coach of the year (and is nominated for CCAA coach of the year), Jake Klassen and David Klomps were named OCAA first team all-stars and Eric Heidbuurt was named to the second team.
But back to Mac.
Before a loud and boisterous Burridge Gym on Saturday night, Dave Preston's crew dropped the opening set to Western 27-25. But Mac would rebound to take the next three 26-24; 32-30 and 25-20 for the provincial championship.
The third set was the doozy and it was clinched when Mac's Tyson Alexander's laser serve couldn't be handled by Western.
Mac had topped York 3-0 in a Friday semifinal. Western had bested Waterloo 3-1 in the other semi. Both finalists earned berths to the nationals, although Mac can expect a much better seeding.
Marauders outside hitter Jori Mantha, named tournament MVP, tore the stitches off the Mikasa volleyball with his powerful hitting.
Asked to put the Ontario championship into words, Mantha, from Vanier, Ont., chose one: "Phenomenal," he said.
"The work we put in this year, it all showed on the court today. Best feeling there is, winning this trophy."
Mantha said the Western challenge was the biggest the maroons have faced.
"Absolutely. This has been our most challenging game. I think it is a really good step for us going into nationals," he said.
Reminded that Mac has never won a national gold, Mantha was once again succinct in his assessment of the situation.
"We're going to," he promised.
Mac setter Austin Campion-Smith, named player of the game for the maroons, can apply to the Mandarin Restaurant anytime — he put the roundball up so neatly on a platter for Mantha, Jayson McCarthy, Kevin Stevens, Alex Elliot and Dany Demyanenko, that it looked as though he could do it in his sleep. And the Mac power pals pounded it repeatedly past the 'Stang defence. Campion-Smith said he couldn't wish for a better setting to put a cap on his OUA career.
"To do it in this gym, with these boys, in front of this crowd is the best way to go out. But I want to let you know we're not done. We have three more games and those will be the biggest games of our lives. I want to go out on the real top and that is with a CIS championship," he said.
Western bench boss Jim Sage said Mac deserved full credit for the win.
The third set was the key.
"It really could have gone either way and I thought we might have stolen it, which would have put us in a really good position and put the pressure on them. But it went back and forth and we had some opportunities, but we just didn't take advantage of it," he said.
Sage believes the crushing third-set loss extended into the final set.
"We just couldn't get it out of our memory," he said.
Preston was all smiles.
"It feels great for me but, as a student athlete, to win a championship in front of your home crowd has to be awesome. I'm so happy for our guys," he said.
Preston knew it wouldn't be easy. It wasn't.
"That was a war. That was a war. And there were points where it wasn't really pretty but we had to keep grinding it out, believing in each other and it was pretty impressive the way these guys stayed together because Western was ripping us apart at our seams," he said.
Preston said Jayson McCarthy was "ridiculous" from the serving line. "And I think that was the difference tonight."
