I actually adored boggo NG2, so was quite looking forward to maybe having a delve into Sigma 2. D/led the Vita one anyway, to add to already substantial free PS+ Vita offerings just in the off-chance I ever buy one!
I downloaded it in 30 mins which is decent
you using wifi or lan cable?
Lan is much faster for me on ps3.
@dagoberto Ethernet.
I have no idea why its so slow.
60meg line too!

This photograph shows the Laser Ranging Facility at the Geophysical and Astronomical Observatory at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The observatory helps NASA keep track of orbiting satellites. In this image, the lower of the two green beams is from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's dedicated tracker. The other laser originates from another ground system at the facility. Both beams are pointed at the moon -- specifically at LRO in orbit around the moon.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Gina M Fullam, BS (Saint Louis University)
Description: This timely update to the 1999 edition of this classic book offers a selection of excerpted Roman Catholic teaching documents on medical ethics, organized by topic, as well as three introductory chapters that explicate foundational Catholic moral principles and the role of both the Church's teaching authority and Catholic individuals in the determination of right action.
Purpose: The authors recognized and have responded to the need for a single, comprehensive reference source for Church teaching on important medical ethics issues, as well as the need for contextualization of such teaching within the Church's rich moral tradition and view of the human person.
Audience: This book is intended as a resource not only for healthcare professionals, but also for the interested public. Well-respected scholars in the field of medical ethics, the authors write both informatively and accessibly in their introductory chapters for healthcare professionals and the interested public alike.
Features: The medical ethics topics presented in the book range from abortion, euthanasia, and organ donation, to the right to healthcare, to advance directives and joint ventures, the latter new to this edition. Though the introductory chapters refer to some of these topics, the second part of the book could benefit from additional commentary, perhaps in the form of notes to particular passages, to help readers in contextualizing the introductory discussion.
Assessment: This is an excellent resource for those with little to no knowledge of Catholic teaching on medical ethics, as well as for those familiar with Church teaching who wish to study the documents pertinent to specific issues. The authors have shown great care in updating both selections and topics for this edition, and in choosing document passages that articulate clearly the theological bases for each teaching.

Retired teacher honored at Central High School
Evelyn Church Hatfield was shocked by the unexpected bouquet of yellow roses Central High School senior Scott Lane gave her Monday evening at Central's Senior Recognition night.
Hatfield, a retired teacher who will turn 100 years old June 5, received a standing ovation from the crowd in attendance after Darla Hoover, Central principal, announced her name.
"It's particularly interesting because the scholarship that's in my name is given away while I'm still alive," Hatfield said. "Most scholarships are when the person is deceased. But they've got it set up so it'll be going on if I ever get out of here."
Hatfield began teaching at Central High School after the flood of 1937. She spent most of her 33-year career at Central, and a few years at Bosse High School. She taught business, but started her career teaching typing and shorthand.
According to Doris Wink, 87, a member of the class of 1943 and an original member of the award committee, the students decided to create the scholarship 20 years ago to honor Hatfield because they felt "she was one of them and because she made their high school experience so much more satisfying."
Hatfield was Wink's homeroom teacher.
"She was a good teacher and always a favorite with the students," Wink said.
Wink said she is one of two members of the original committee still living.
"She is so with it," Wink said of her teacher. "She still lives alone, still drives, she has it all together. And she looks younger than we do."
In the scholarship's early days, committee members donated a monetary award to the top business student at Central. But in 2001, the committee turned the award over to the Vanderburgh Community Foundation as an endowment. For the past 11 years, the foundation has awarded a scholarship to a Central senior planning to attend a postsecondary school.
Hatfield said she doesn't know each year how much the scholarship will be worth, but it was about $1,100 this year. She said Lane will continue his education at the University of Southern Indiana.
Hoover said Monday's ceremony was no small celebration, because students have received more than $4.6 million in scholarships.
"Oh, I loved the kids," Hatfield said of her teaching career. "I just lucked out and got a really good bunch. There's not another class that has a scholarship in the name of their sponsor."

Katherine Rushton of The Daily Telegraph wrote a column trying to embarrass those in America, like Republican lawmaker Kieran Michael Lalor, who oppose bringing in Al Jazeera television on to the American television news market. Ms. Rushton feels such opposition is a kind of ethnic prejudice, not sound journalism. Dubbing Al Jazeera "Al Jihad," such efforts may well be over the top but not necessarily.
There's been a pretty impressive movement afoot for over a century or even more championing the idea that human beings are but complicated machines, nothing special at all in the world. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) folks tend to hold this view—machines, in time at least, will do whatever people can, maybe even much better than we do it, like thinking, feeling guilt, empathizing, regretting, apologizing, and the whole gamut of stuff many think is unique to human life. No, say the AI folks, it's just a matter of handling some of the technicalities and then, voila, we will have machines just like us. After all, aren't machines already doing many of the tasks most of us had once thought only people could do? Sure.
The New York Times blog featured a debate recently, in the wake of the Tucson massacre, among several people on the insanity defense. One of the debaters, Kent Scheidegger, wrote a comment that included a point that's often proposed but that needs some amendment.
Scheidegger said "The traditional test [of criminal responsibility] is whether the defendant was able to understand the nature of the act and understand that it was wrong. This test … remains the proper legal and moral test. A person who understands what he is doing and that it is wrong but does it anyway is morally responsible for his act."
The New York Times editorialized in panic, predictably, in the wake of the U. S. Supreme Court ruling striking down Chicago's ban on handgun ownership. Lamenting the Court's highly abstract debate about the constitutional clause that needed to be considered, The Times alleged that Monday's ruling will "undermin[e] Chicago's [sensible] law" and lead to "results [that] will be all too real and bloody."
The Times' central complaint amounted to the claim that the freedom to own handguns is entirely too risky. It threw out some completely discredited statistics that suggest a link between the striking down of such bans and the fostering gun violence. (This allegation is discredited in part by the failure to compare it with the beneficial results of handgun ownership, a result that has by now been demonstrated and published, for example in John Lott's More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun-Control Laws [Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1998].)
Though this is a topic that I have visited on several occasions, having recently become an avid fan of the Discovery Channel's series on life in the deep oceans and other seas, I am motivated to observe just how absurd the notion of animal rights really is.
Here we have the oceans of the globe teeming with billions of critters of immense variety. Looked at close up these are often very beautiful animals, indeed, and their agility is fantastic, to say the least. Not that people cannot match what these animals can do, although some of their feats are not within human reach except with extensive technological assistance. But it is undeniable that the wales, octopuses, herrings, crabs, seals, sharks; they do have amazing lives and incidentally put on a great show. At times what they do takes one's breath away!

Master Your Theory Music Book (Book 1)
- MASTER YOUR THEORY is a series of books, each of which is an instruction book and workbook combined.
- It follows a comprehensive course which is planned so that the student may begin with the very first principles of music theory and work gradually upwards through the grades.
- By working out the exercises which immediately follow each point made, the student will consolidate knowledge at every step of the way, and at the same time revise facts already learnt.
- The course is designed to be useful equally to examination students, AMEB and otherwise, and to those who wish to become better musicians as they learn more about how music is organised and written.
- These books will help the busy teacher who realizes the importance of theory for students but finds the practical lesson all too short to include time for theory instruction. The student may work through them largely alone, reading the explanations and working out the exercises, checking with the teacher whenever necessary.
- The answer book is also available for purchase from our ebay shop!

Leaders of various parties, cutting across their political affiliations, staged a huge dharna opposite the DRM' s office at Dondaparthy here on Monday demanding a separate railway zone with headquarters in Visakhapatnam.
They vowed to organise a joint struggle till the demand was achieved.
They said that Visakhapatnam was one of the fastest growing cities in Asia with tremendous economic, IT and industrial activities that have direct impact on the development of the coastal backward districts of Srikakulam and Vizianagaram. Visakhapatnam needs direct rail connectivity with all important stations in the country and better facilities for passengers and goods traffic. This would be possible only when a separate Railway Zone with Head Quarters in Visakhapatnam was created.
Waltair was one of the best revenue earning Divisions in India and the present area covered under the Division justifies the creation of a separate zone as previously less revenue earning and less km area in other places were accorded Zonal status.
They alleged that the authorities of the present Zonal Office at Bhubaneswar were snatching the existing facilities by reducing the berths, extending trains to Bhubaneswar, diverting important trains through Duvvada without touching Visakhapatnam and not undertaking any major developmental activities in the Region.
The speakers also demanded establishment of a Railway recruitment board (RRB) in Visakhapatnam in view of the injustice being done to candidates from the region in selections. They recalled that candidates from north Andhra who went to Bhubaneswar to take RRB examination were not allowed to take the test. Their hall-tickets were snatched and they were forced to flee from the station itself after being attacked by unruly mobs. The other demands include setting up of a freight corridor and either a coach or a wagon factory in Visakhapatnam.
The dharna was organised under the aegis of Communist Party of India, District Council secretary J.V. Satyanarayana Murthy. PRP MLA s Ganta Srinivasa Rao and Panchakarla Ramesh Babu, TDP leader and former Minister Bandaru Satyanarayana Murthy, MLA Velagapudi Ramakrishna Babu, TDP leaders Chode Venkata Pattabhiram, Vasupalli Ganesh Kumar, CPI-M district secretary K. Lokanadham, BJP city president Nagendra Kumar, former MLA K. Haribabu, party leader J. Prithviraj and Uttarandhra Rakshana Vedika convener S.S. Siva Sankar were among those who participated.
The leaders submitted a memorandum listing the demands to the DRM for forwarding to the Chairman of the Railway Board.

The guy was fine to the kids, but he was really, really over the top physical with me. I have played pick up all over the country with people of all economic and social backgrounds and have never, ever experienced this. It was almost as though this guy wanted to really hurt me badly. I didn't say anything, just gave it back to him, and of course things just escalated. It was so weird, because he wasn't talking smack or anything, just bulgeoning me every chance he got, and he knew how to play, so it wasn't that he didn't know any better. Any thoughts from other hoopsters out there...keep in mind that I'm 50 and about 5 foot 9. This guy was maybe 21 and 6 foot even.
He is a jerk, plain and simple. No one should play like that in a casual game. The first time he fouled you, you should have been all over it and just taken your kids and left.
This is why you shouldn't play pick up with complete strangers. You're lucky he didn't break your nose or something. Some people are just idiots.

This is an Internet protocol suite Java library originally developed by ORO, Inc. This version supports Finger, Whois, TFTP, Telnet, POP3, FTP, NNTP, SMTP, and some miscellaneous protocols like Time and Echo as well as BSD R command support. The purpose of the library is to provide fundamental protocol access, not higher-level abstractions. Therefore, some of the design violates object-oriented design principles. Our philosophy is to make the global functionality of a protocal accesible (e.g., TFTP send file and receive file) when possible, but also provide access to the fundamental protocols where applicable so that the programmer may construct his own custom implementations (e.g, the TFTP packet classes and the TFTP packet send and receive methods are exposed). NetComponents was originally a commercial product, but after ORO dissolved, it was continued to be made available for those who found it useful.

Word of Mouth
'Siopao' discovery is one worth sharing
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Everyone loves a surprise. This holds true even where a sandwich is concerned. Not knowing the type of filling, for me, makes the whole experience exciting.
I have held this belief when creating some of my dishes at Wooden Spoon restaurant. Stuffed Pechay is one of the bestsellers. A bite brings a surprising burst of flavors complemented by the mildly spicy sauce.
Siopao is another snack that yields surprises. One is not certain of what quality of filling one is to experience. The verdict usually comes after the first bite. It can either be "sarap," "not bad" or "this is the last time I'm ordering this."
I have tasted a siopao that may not seem that great in the beginning, but the taste grows on you with every bite.
Ma Mon Luk
When I was growing up, it was Ma Mon Luk asado siopao. My friend and I used to take a 10-centavo jeepney ride to Cubao from UP just to dine in our favorite restaurant. Two families used to run Ma Mon Luk. The first ran the branches in Cubao, across the police station in Kamias, and Pasay, while second ran the branches in Banawe and Quiapo.
To me, the branches offered a difference in taste. I preferred the one in Cubao. Masuki siopao reminds me most of that Cubao siopao even if the taste is not consistent. Ma Mon Luk and Masuki also offer a bola-bola siopao which I am not too crazy about.
Wait till you try my new siopao to be offered at Wooden Spoon for merienda.
Vin Vin
Every time I take Philippine Airlines (PAL) on domestic or foreign trips, I never fail to take a snack. It is my form of relaxing after going through the stress of packing and braving the traffic. Foodie friends have this same craving when they travel.
There is one place I will never miss. Vin Vin is a snack place that sells all kinds of siopao and mami. To me, it has the best-tasting special bola-bola siopao. Because of my experience with the other bola-bola siopao, I was never really a fan.
I knew nothing about Vin Vin; I just wanted to be surprised with the quality of the filling. The siopao is huge, tasty and full of pork chunks, a tiny slice of Chinese chorizo and red egg. Sarap. I find no need for the sauce.
My problem begins when I leave the airport. The siopao is nowhere to be found outside the departure lounge. It seemed to have disappeared.
Then, one day, while I was doing a cooking demo at the Nestlé kitchen, one of the participants mentioned that they were from Vin Vin. When I heard that, a light bulb turned on and I never stopped harassing that kind lady until I got her office number.
Today, I don't have to take PAL to try Vin Vin's giant bola-bola siopao; I just call. Just the other day, I ordered six dozen siopao for my badminton friends and made a promise to never to do this again. It was like carrying around a 40-lb weight.
My simple joy though is to see my friends happy with this new discovery. At home, I just wrap a frozen siopao in a damp towel, microwave it for three and a half minutes and have a Sriracha sauce with it. Yummy!
Vin Vin bola-bola siopao is an example of a pleasant surprise. Discovering the delicious filling is something I feel is worth sharing. Check it out.
Happy eating!

OTTAWA — With nine cousins in the fourth generation helping operate Hirzel Canning Company & Farms, each has special talents and gifts brought to the table.
Director of Operations Karl Hirzel has an engineering background and put it to use as the food production business becomes more automated and technical.
The canning season lasts about 50 days in late summer and early fall, and all the family members are very hands-on to ensure quality products that meet the Hirzel family standards, Hirzel said. At this time of year, Karl has his engineering hat on, improving processes that were targeted during canning.
"There's always something. Today I'm working on programming and rebuilding a machine and helping to lay out new lines. We are always developing new processes and equipment, which is fun. I touch all aspects of that," Hirzel said.
The Ottawa plant is now a highly automated plant, and includes HMI — human machine interface — technology with touch screens, controls and equipment. The technology is impressive, but it can always be improved. Most of the time canning season is too busy to make a change, even when someone sees a need.
"We wait till down time to dig into deeper what we can modify," Hirzel said.
Hirzel Canning Company was founded in 1923 by Karl's great-grandfather, Carl R. Hirzel. A brewmaster by trade, he was forced into other products by Prohibition. His first product was sauerkraut, sold only in wooden kegs and barrels. The next year he began canning kraut, with the help of his wife, Lena, and oldest son, Karl. The third year they packed their first fancy whole tomatoes.
The company produces canned tomatoes, tomato products and sauerkraut in three processing locations under the brand Dei Fratelli and other private labels. The company owns extensive greenhouses and farms in northwest Ohio, including farms and a canning operation in Putnam County.
The family remains deeply involved in the business. Two of Hirzel's father's generation are still active in the company, with special projects. One of Hirzel's uncles is involved in research and development for food and agriculture, and another is overseeing the company's organic farming operations.

Mar 8, 2011Oh how I loved thee! This was one of my first online RTS games and remains all time favorite till today! No wonder I am giving it a 10!
A perfectly balanced game with fun elements (Monks!) that allow deep strategy and re-playability that lasts decades. Bring'em on!
Nov 18, 2011This is probably the best strategy game ever! My family still plays this game, It's amazing! So what if the graphics are old, it's still suck a good game and it may not seem like its a very deep game but trust me it is.
Sep 12, 2013The best strategy game for me. Played thousands of hours with my brothers over LAN & then in Internet.
If you are looking for modern day graphics this is not the game for you, if you go for game play over graphics keep on reading.
Cons: - Not the best AI, game difficulty is set by giving additional resources to computer player in the start. - Extremely addictive Pros: - No 2The best strategy game for me. Played thousands of hours with my brothers over LAN & then in Internet.
If you are looking for modern day graphics this is not the game for you, if you go for game play over graphics keep on reading.
- Not the best AI, game difficulty is set by giving additional resources to computer player in the start.
- Extremely addictive
- No 2 games alike
- Many civilizations to play
- Still active game rooms for competitive multi-player game play after a decade, check through "GameRanger"
- Addition to built in game types, various community created game types to play.
- You can have a loads of fun by just watching a recorded game which consist of computer players.
- With map editor you can create your own game scenarios.
- After all that community created Forgotten Empires expansion pack with new civilization with improved game play for more fun.… Expand
Jul 28, 2012One of my top 10 games of all times. This made me interested in the medieval period and history and gave thousand of well-spent hours. This was a definite milestone in the history of gaming!
Jun 13, 2013This some the best game in strategy game I have played. The graphic feels like you are looking at a board game like chess from a 3d view. But still it is a fun time playing it.
Nov 9, 2013Fantastic expansion to a fanstastic game, hands down the best game of all time. Other than the new maps and civilizations, this expansion also brought many tweaks and fixes to the original, like being able to que farms at the mill, which saved a lot of frustration.
Nov 24, 2013My first PC game in memory ever. And the best of Age of Empires family. The game is in great balance, and the models have the best historic feelings in the series.
Apr 3, 2015The best strategy game i've played. The multiplayer is very fun and the campaign mode also, each civilization have unique units. The map editor have a lot of features. I recommend.
May 23, 2012incredibly fun, still offers great deal of playability. the community is far from dead and great amount of fun comes with the modding. on heavengames there exists many tools to mod and also many mods and extensions to the game..
You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck and fans of the series should be more than happy with the results.
a very expansive and well thought out package that should be worth the money for most PC gamers.
Should serve as an example for other companies how an expansion pack should be done.

ESCONDIDO: New plan would triple the city's bike lanes
Goal is encouraging people to commute —— without cars
ESCONDIDO -- Aiming to encourage more people to ride bicycles to work and school, city officials and a consultant have nearly completed a plan to triple the number of bike lanes in Escondido.
Studies indicate that roughly 3,500 of the city's 144,000 residents would ride their bikes to work or school if the city implements all the projects in the plan.
The plan recommends expanding the city's bike lanes from 33 miles to 106 miles. City officials estimate that fewer than 2,000 residents use bicycles to commute.
"The biggest thing is trying to get people off the dangerous streets," said Peggy Chapin, a consultant working on the new plan. "A lot of people don't bike because they are worried about safety."
The plan would be designed to improve safety by creating new bike lanes that are separated from traffic by painted lines in the street, connecting some of the most popular existing routes more effectively, and launching a citywide education campaign, she said.
Chapin said another key element of the plan is joining the city's routes with the recreational bicycle path recently constructed along the Sprinter rail line, which stretches from downtown Escondido to Oceanside.
The city previously updated its master plan in 1993, so another revision was long overdue. State and federal agencies give preference for grant money to cities that update their plans frequently, because the projects requested by those cities are based on more current traffic patterns.
"As development patterns change, you need to update your plan," said Jay Paul, the city planner handling the bicycle plan revision. "You have to evaluate the opportunities and constraints presented by the changes."
Escondido's population has increased from 115,000 in 1993 to more than 144,000 in 2008. In addition, several large housing subdivisions have been built in the eastern and northern parts of Escondido, forcing the city to build many new roads and widen some existing streets.
"A lot has changed since 1993," said Kathy Keehan, executive director of the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition. "I don't think Escondido has the oldest bike plan in the county, but I think they're pretty close."
Paul and Chapin said they expect a first draft of the new plan to be ready in June. The plan will be presented to the Bicycle Coalition and other local bicyclists for comments, and then a revised version will be presented to the city's Transportation Commission.
The final document must be approved by the city's Planning Commission and City Council, said Chapin, who has also revised bicycle master plans for Solana Beach and Imperial Valley.
Adopting a new plan is just the first step to improving bike safety and encouraging more people to use bikes, she said.
The city ended up building only 4 miles of the 45 miles of bike lanes recommended in the city's first bike plan, which was adopted in 1975. The 1993 plan recommended the city increase the lanes to 84 miles, but the city has only created 33 miles since then.

NORCROSS - For a decade, the Norcross Human Services Center has been a haven for entire families.It's where kids begin their schooling in prekindergarten classes, adults learn about computers and seniors relax in their retirement. The center on Georgia Belle Court, which serves 28,000 people a month through six agencies and other classes, celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this month. "It's a one-stop center for the community," center coordinator Ingrid Hervey said. "They could come in for the whole family." The agencies include a public health clinic, Four Corners primary care, mental health services, HeadStart, senior services and the county's busiest tag office. "I'm proud to celebrate the 10 years our branch tag office has been located in the Norcross Human Services Center," Tax Commissioner Katherine Sherrington said. "A lot has changed since we moved from the Sunrise Square shopping center on Indian Trail, about a mile and a half from here." Sherrington's Norcross Tag Office has nearly doubled its annual customers since the center opened in 1998, from nearly 100,000 customers that year to more than 205,000 customers in 2007. The Tag Office's customers account for about 70 percent of all of the people who go to the Norcross Human Services Center facility for service. Hervey said the center's clientele isn't just diverse in age but also in cultures. The center offers computers classes in Korean and Spanish as well as English, and she said the popular English classes quickly fill up with registrants who are Korean, Chinese, Russian or come from Latin American countries. Other special programs offered at the center include a program to give backpacks filled with school supplies for children when the school year begins and an annual Toys for Tots toy drive during the Christmas season.

How to not self-destruct
A famous person emailed me to ask about personality type. I don't get a lot of emails from famous people. But I do get some. Like, when Melissa was being an executive assistant to billionaires, I was Melissa's reference.
I could write fifty posts about giving those references, actually, because I was like, "Don't hire Melissa, because she'll quit. She can't work for anyone for more than a year."

Ya TDU2 has very little cars. They had licensing issues with a few car companies. That combined with the bike pack costing 1200 microsoft pts is just retarded. They are going to release future DLC's with more cars that should of been in the game in the first place.lol I am not going to spend $80+ to get a good varity of cars. Also they will have zero lambos, BMW's, no ZR1, and F1 Mclarens in the game. Just the new Mclaren which I could care less about. they are going to have a other non car DLC's. Some people will end up paying well over $100 to play this game which is crazy to me.
I know F1 2010 is harder game than most think, but it still may be worth it and Codemasters said they will be patching it and taking care of the issues like the one you mentioned. I know the car you get has a lot to do with your selection of how many seasons you set to participate in, and how well you do overall.

Like at Catalunya I could only manage a 1:28, and I was getting smoked. No matter what setting I used it was terrible. Then I go in arcade mode and do a flying lap with the same car and I get a 1:22! Seriously, my virtual team gave me a car 6 seconds slower and I couldn't do anything to get it faster. That's when I stopped playing it.... that an GT5 came out. So unless your team gives you the shaft you'll enjoy it.
And the TDU2 car list had some nice cars in there, but everything else sucked. After I saw the list I was no longer excited about it.

ClassicsOnline Home » JOHNSON, R.: Lute Music (North)
Playing a golden-toned 10-course lute and using original manuscript sources or his own sensitive reconstructions, British lutenist Nigel North presents a delightful recital of dances by Robert Johnson, a contemporary of Shakespeare for whose plays he wrote songs and incidental music. Although they use the old forms of pavan, galliard, almain and fantasie, Johnson's exquisite works tend towards the more expansive, lyrical style that would later flourish in the Baroque period. Nigel North's critically acclaimed boxed set of Dowland's Complete Lute Music is also available (8.504016).

Gorgeous 10 course lute
Nigel North, a lutenist from Britain, does a phenomenal job on these 17 pieces by Robert Johnson (c. 1583-1633). These pieces have a bit of a Baroque feel to them, and are exquisitely played by Mr. North. A few mentions about the ones that really caught my ear: (Track 1) The Prince's Almain, Masque and Coranto is bright and playful, and Mr. North is obviously having a great time playing this piece – that comes right through; (Track 2) Pavan No. 1 - an elegant golden-toned Pavan, slightly introspective and full of intellectual life; (Track 5) Two Almains – purity of tone, impeccable timing, and just darn good music; (Track 15) The First, Second, and Third Dances in the Prince's Masque – this sounds simple to play, but it is extremely difficult. Not only is it a delightful piece, but Mr. North makes it seem like childplay. This is jaw dropping for those of us who are lute players; (Track 17) The Satyr's Dance – this sounds hard, and it is, making fine use of the instrument's range and testing the dexterity of the fingers. Easy for Mr. North, not so for the rest of us mere mortals. Wow!
So what do I think? If you are a lute fan, get this recording – it's wonderful!more....

Shakespeare's Composer
Nigel North-"Robert Johnson: The Prince's Almain"- NAXOS
Lute virtuoso Nigel North has recorded a collection of dances by Robert Johnson, a contemporary of Shakespeare for whose plays he wrote songs and incidental music. Performing on a ten-course lute, the music presented here is from manuscript sources. Fortunately, Johnson's music was popular enough among his contemporaries that some of his songs were adapted for keyboard instruments; two of the pieces in this collection only exist in keyboard arrangements and have been "re-set" for the lute by Mr. North.
As with his previous recording of the complete lute music of John Dowland (also available on the Naxos label), Mr. North combines a scholar's understanding with a virtuoso musician's skill, to provide a definitive rendering of music by a composer who straddles the transition from Renaissance to the Baroque. As with the Dowland collection, the recording is clear and balanced, allowing all the subtlety of Mr. North's 10-course lute to be heard. For fans of Elizabethan era music (and anyone curious about music from Shakespeare's collaborators) this CD is a must-have; for everyone else it is highly recommended. 10 on a scale of 10.

Robert Johnson (c. 1583–1633)
Lute Music
The illustrious dedicatee of The Prince's Almain is Henry, Prince of Wales (1594–1612) and son of King James I. The Prince's untimely death at the age of eighteen was felt by many people as a great tragedy for England as Henry showed the promise of being an intelligent, well-rounded future monarch. Had he lived, English history would have been very different. The lutenist Robert Johnson, less famous today, was an esteemed musician at the courts of both Prince Henry and King James. Johnson's most popular piece, surviving in over sixteen versions, was The Prince's Almain, written for his pupil, Prince Henry.
A generation later, Thomas Mace opens his book Musick's Monument (1676), with a dialogue between himself and the Lute. In mourning the loss of the earlier Golden Age of lute music of which Robert Johnson was the last great lutenist, the Lute shows the significance of Johnson's contribution with his comments:
Despair I do: Old Dowland he is Dead; R Johnson too:
Two famous Men; Great Masters in My Art:
In each of Them I had more than One Part,
Or Two, or Three;
Despair I do: Old Dowland he is Dead; R Johnson too:
Two famous Men; Great Masters in My Art:
In each of Them I had more than One Part,
Or Two, or Three;
There were two pairs of father and son lutenists in London and I have often wondered how they may have influenced each other. John Johnson, lutenist to Queen Elizabeth I from 1581 until his death in 1594, represents the earliest generation. Johnson would have known, perhaps played with, and even taught John Dowland (1562–1623), who was one generation later. Was it a coincidence that they both had sons named Robert who became court lutenists? Robert Dowland (c. 1590–c. 1640) must have had some lute tuition from his father, whom he also succeeded at court in 1626. Robert Johnson (c. 1583–1633) was born a little earlier than Robert Dowland and had a more successful life as composer and lutenist than did his Dowland namesake.
Following the death of his father in 1594, Robert Johnson was taken under the care of Sir George Carey (also known as Lord Hunsdon) who oversaw his education, including music. In 1597 Carey became the Lord Chamberlain to Elizabeth and was the patron of the acting company (known as The Lord Chamberlaine's Men, later called The King's Men) of which Shakespeare was a member. This created a strong artistic influence on Johnson, who went on to write songs and music for this company including plays by Shakespeare, Beaumont and Fletcher, and Webster.
Johnson's surviving lute music is a small collection of around 24 pieces. Early works for seven-course lute include the two Galliards and some of the Almains, most likely written before he joined the court of James I in 1604. The style of these early pieces is a little reminiscent of John Dowland in their use of melody, divisions and texture. Soon, however, Johnson developed his own mature style represented in four Pavans and the Fantasie. Most of his later works are found in three great English manuscript sources for nine- or ten-course lute (British Library: Ms. 38359, known as the M.L. lute book; Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge: Lord Herbert of Cherbury's Lute Book; Royal Academy of Music, London: Margaret Board Lute Book).
Although Robert Johnson relies upon the old forms of Pavan, Galliard, Almain and Fantasie, his use of the instrument exploits the extreme ranges of the nine-course lute. In contrast to his father's style, or even John Dowland's, Robert Johnson's music is more "baroque" in that it is lyrical, expansive and often in two polarised voices. The Pavans and the Fantasie demonstrate his excellent contrapuntal skills. Pavan No. 1 has divisions written by the composer, while the Pavan No. 3 has no surviving divisions. The two extant copies, however, have many graces and I have embellished the repeats with these graces—a performance practice which was taken up later in the century. Pavan No. 2 has divisions which I felt were not good enough to be Johnson's, so I preferred to add my own. The sublime Fantasie is reminiscent of viol consort fantasies written by contemporaries such as Ferrabosco, with its tightly woven counterpoint. Sadly Johnson left us only one. He was most prolific in the Almain, leaving us ten examples. These highly tuneful dances most reflect Johnson's more modern musical style suited to the lighter tastes admired at the court.
The English court Masque was primarily an entertainment for those at court, the royal family and those close to them. Often the courtiers and the royal family, including the young Prince Henry, were given rôles to play. Masques were a unique allegorical blend of speech, dance, music and song, lavish affairs on which much money was spent. Robert Johnson was a prominent member of the court's "lute and voices" and he worked side by side with poets such as Ben Jonson and Thomas Campion in these multifaceted events. Johnson's main contributions to the Masque were as a performer in the "lute band", and as a composer of dance music. This has come down to us in two forms, original five-part ensemble versions and anonymous lute arrangements. Most likely the five-part versions are the "originals" and the lute versions came later.
There are three masques with which Johnson was associated. The Masque of Queens by Ben Jonson, performed in 1609 at the Banqueting Hall in Whitehall, which contained Johnson's The Witches' Dance. Another Ben Jonson masque, Oberon, performed in the same hall in 1611, had an antimasque which contained The Fairies' Dance and The Satyre's Dance. The lute version of the latter has not survived so the recorded version is my own reconstruction. In the masque proper of Oberon a contemporary account mentions "XX Lutes provided by Mr Johnson for the Princes Dance". These dances were most probably the First, Second and Third Dances in the Prince's Masque. The Noble Man comes from the Masque of the Middle Temple and Lincoln's Inn by George Chapman, performed in Whitehall in 1613.
Robert Johnson's lute music must have been well known in court music circles. We find several arrangements for keyboard, some anonymous and others by Farnaby. In all cases, without exception, the arranger has transposed the lute originals up a tone, presumably to make it more convenient for the keyboard. The lute pieces existing in keyboard versions include The Prince's Almain, several other Almains, The Prince's Coranto and a Pavan (set by Farnaby). This Pavan (No. 4) has not survived in its original lute version, so I have extracted a new lute version from Farnaby's arrangement.

James O'Toole of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette profiles Pittsburgher Vilsack. LINK
Per John DiStaso in today's Union Leader, Vilsack already has his first New Hampshire fundraiser, Stonyfield Farms president and CEO Gary Hirshberg. LINK
The New York Sun's Josh Gerstein includes Joe Trippi's reporting that Vilsack wowed attendees at the wonky Renaissance Weekend last winter as well as Trippi's apparent belief that Vilsack will have to show some strength in New Hampshire and South Carolina before Iowans begin taking his presidential prospects seriously. LINK
Thomas Beaumont of the Des Moines Register discusses the potential challenges of Vilsack's presidential nomination run: "his candidacy was viewed as serious and that its biggest obstacle was becoming better known among a field of prospects that includes superstar names. "LINK
Jane Norman of the Des Moines Register describes Iowa's congressional delegation's reaction to Gov. Vilsack's announcement. LINK
Todd Dorman of the Quad City Times believes it's a "rocky road to the White House" for Gov. Vilsack as he "will be under heavy pressure to dominate Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses even though Iowa Democrats have yet to embrace his aspirations." LINK
The New York Post's Haberman reports that before making his '08 announcement, Gov. Vilsack made courtesy calls to other presidential hopefuls, including Sen. Clinton. LINK
Coming to a Sunday show near you: the Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire has an Edwards adviser reacting to Vilsack's entry by saying: "What we have to do is win Iowa."
Maureen Groppe of Gannett News Service reports, Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) told reporters Thursday that "most Americans don't know what Democrats stand for despite the party's electoral success." LINK
Bayh also maturely expressed a little Obama envy.
The Washington Wire has Democratic strategist Steve Elmendorf calling Sen. Bayh "the front-runner" for the conservative slot vacated by ex-Virginia Gov. Warner's departure from 2008 field. "Bayh touts Democratic pickup of three Indiana House seats; he had also dispatched staffers to help campaigns in Iowa and New Hampshire."
Sen. Bayh's All America PAC plans to distribute a memo to "interested parties" today touting the PAC's work in the midterm election. Not so subtly, the memo's lede section is entitled, "Moderate Heartland Democrats Gave Democrats Their Victory in 2006."
The memo concludes with some Bayh travel plans: "Senator Bayh told the Associated Press yesterday that he would wait until after the holidays to make an announcement. In the meantime, Bayh will continue to aggressively travel the country and with visits to Iowa and New Hampshire planned before the end of the year."
2008: Republicans:
The New York Daily News' Ben Smith includes this from Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) on his blog: "'We'll be making the mechanical steps within the next few weeks to move forward,' he said of his presidential bid, saying later he means he'll be filing papers to start what's typically an exploratory committee." LINK
It looks like Gov. Mitt Romney will not be able to point to his home state as a beacon of beating back same-sex marriage while out on the 2008 campaign trail.

This dissertation locates this society within contemporary social, historical, and cultural trends and argues that its use of traditional Chinese art, antiquities, and even archaeology to counter Western art influence was part of a larger search for national and cultural identity. The first part of the dissertation focuses on the historical and theoretical foundations of the society. The second part sets the artistic activities of the group, including their exhibitions and journals, against contemporary cultural backdrops. The study accomplishes a number of goals. First, it sorts out the historical facts of this overlooked society in a way that reintroduces it to art historical scholarship. Second, it demonstrates that the seemingly conservative stance of the society was just a way to secure its standing and guard its goals. Third, it establishes the group's importance to the field of modern Chinese art. Finally, by thoroughly examining the society and its accomplishments, this dissertation shows that the traditional artistic approach championed by the society is worth scholarly attention, and that the modernization of Chinese painting occurred not only in Chinese-Western synthesis. Innovation within tradition was equally viable. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z The Representation of Purgatory in a Colonial Painting from Latin America Vásquez, Rafael Alas http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16018 2015-01-09T03:30:13Z 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: The Representation of Purgatory in a Colonial Painting from Latin America Authors: Vásquez, Rafael Alas Abstract: The representation of purgatory in painting was very popular after the Council of Trent. While Protestant denied the existence of purgatory, the Catholic Church, with the help of religious orders and brotherhoods, fostered the devotion to the suffering souls. During the colonial period in Latin America, this devotion gained a unique importance. This fact is reflected in the numerous paintings representing purgatory that are displayed in cathedrals and churches. The purpose of this thesis is to study the iconography of one of these paintings representing purgatory. The chosen painting presents different figures of souls among the flames. The Virgin del Carmen is represented holding one soul, while the figures of St. Peter and St. Michael are looking toward heaven. A Crucifix and the Holy Ghost appear above the figure of the Virgin. The representation in purgatory of a bishop, a nun and a Black man, besides the depiction of souls at different ages show the Catholic belief that every sinner has to pass through purgatory. Two unusual motifs are the depiction of st. Peter in purgatory and the representation of the Virgin pulling a soul from the flames. The painting reflects the concept of purgatory that the Catholic Church spread after the Council of Trent. The effectiveness of masses to help the souls, symbolized by the depiction of Christ on the Cross, and the intervention of Mary to release souls from purgatory are two important messages that this painting is presenting to the worshiper. 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Serving Exoticism: The Black Female in French Exotic Imagery, 1733-1885 Childs, Adrienne L. http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16017 2015-01-08T03:30:12Z 1999-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Serving Exoticism: The Black Female in French Exotic Imagery, 1733-1885 Authors: Childs, Adrienne L. Abstract: The black female played an important part in the construction of exotic female sexuality in French painting for nearly two hundred years, yet her symbolic complexity has not been fully explored. This thesis is a contextual analysis of the image of the black female in French painting from the early part of the eighteenth through the nineteenth century. Representations of black females in this era are part of the larger development of turquerie in the eighteenth century and Orientalism in the nineteenth century. Centered around European fantasies of Near Eastern and North African harem culture, turquerie and Orientalism provided an exotic framework in which issues of female sexuality and its relationship to race was explored. The objects discussed in this thesis, primarily well known works by academic painters, are examples of images in which the black female plays a significant stylistic and ideological role. The works are examined in relation to literary and scientific discourses in which ideas about black women were negotiated during the period. Slavery, imperialism, as well as colonial expansion contextualize the imagery, and offer tools with which to uncover encoded meanings inscribed in the exoticized black female. This analysis provides an expanded definition of the nature of the black female as a symbol, and outlines a complex, multidimensional framework in which black female figures operate as a sexual signifier. 1999-01-01T00:00:00Z The Great House of Benjamin West: Family, Workshop, and National Identity in Late Georgian England Fox, Abram Jacob http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15806 2014-10-12T02:35:19Z 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: The Great House of Benjamin West: Family, Workshop, and National Identity in Late Georgian England Authors: Fox, Abram Jacob Abstract: Anglo-American painter Benjamin West (1738-1820) holds a unique position in the history of Western art. Active during the foundational periods of not one, but two, national schools of art to which he could rightfully claim membership, West recognized his inimitable position in the development of English and American art and sought to position himself at the forefront of each nation. This dissertation examines his fluid national and artistic identities over the course of his instructional relationships with his American students, and the shifting personal and professional goals harbored by each party. While scholars have acknowledged the relation of West's pedagogical practice to his identity as an artist, this study presents an organic account of the relationships between teacher and students as an embodiment of West's ongoing and unprecedented attempts at fame, fortune, and legacy. This legacy was central to Benjamin West's identity as an artist. His professional career was dedicated to the self-aggrandizement of his identities as an (exotic) American, a prolific painter of high-minded scenes of history and religion, and the head of a workshop teeming with artists who shared his heritage, though not always his aesthetic inclinations. Over his career he cultivated a reputation as a welcoming instructor, always willing to give advice or lessons to any artist who approached him. This was not solely an act of altruism. Instead, it was the cornerstone of his construction of a proverbial House of West, a workshop-family whose members and their works would reflect back on the genius of the master, just as strongly as his own oeuvre. Through the examination of four case studies of his instruction of American students – that of Charles Willson Peale, Gilbert Stuart, John Trumbull, and a circle of students led by Washington Allston – this study integrates Benjamin West's teaching practice with his career aspirations, positioning his pedagogy within the greater framework of his self-presentation. In doing so, it presents a history painter engrossed in the promulgation of his name throughout history, through his own artistic output and those of his children and students, as the progenitor of American artists working in the European tradition. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z

Queensland floods 2013: before and after interactive
Use our interactive before-and-after image to see the extent of flooding along the Fitzroy River and close to Rockhampton in central Queensland last week.
Swipe or tap the satellite image to view the before and after comparison.
Fitzroy River system, Queensland | Jan 17 vs Jan 30
NASA notes that in the first image, showing relatively normal conditions on January 17, the rivers upstream from Rockhampton are "barely discernible". The image taken on January 30 is a stark contrast, with water spilling onto floodplains in numerous places.
"The January 30 image shows not only higher water levels but also more extensive greenness compared to January 17," NASA said on its website.
"The greater degree of green may result from a difference in the angle of the satellite sensor, but may also reflect a green-up from new precipitation. Before (ex-tropical cyclone) Oswald brought heavy rains and floods to the region, large stretches of eastern Australia were suffering from rainfall deficiencies."

Bad, which makes it okay. 0
You know those films, that are really really bad, yet you love them anyway? Well, that is what this game is like for me.
