Kurt Atterberg (1887-1974)
The Swedish composer Kurt Atterberg was
born in Göteborg in 1887 and studied the cello at school before entering the
Stockholm College of Technology. Qualifying as an engineer in 1911, he took
employment with the patent office, continuing there until 1968, from 1936 as
principal secretary .He was instrumental in the formation of the Swedish
Composers' Society, of which he was president from 1924 until 1947, and of the
Swedish Performing Rights Society, in which he occupied a similar position. At
the same time he won a reputation as a conductor and critic, as well as in the
field of composition. His works include five operas and nine symphonies,
forming only part of a considerable output.
Atterberg's B minor Violin Sonata was completed
in 1925 and published in 1930 as a sonata for cello, viola or violin and piano,
although the composer intended the work originally for his own instrument, the
cello. In this form he himself played it in the Organ Hall of the Royal Academy
of Music in the early winter of 1925 and a few months later it was performed at
an ISCM concert. The first movement follows romantic tradition, while the
second is influenced by Swedish folk-lore.
The Two Autumn Ballades that make up Opus
15 were completed in 1918 and constitute the only original work Atterberg wrote
for solo piano. The Valse Fantôme of the same year was part of the incidental
music written for Maeterlinck's play Sister Beatrice, later scored as an
instrumental suite for violin, viola and string orchestra. The solo piano
version of the last movement of the suite was made at the request of the
ballerina Jenny Hasselquist, who used it to considerable effect in her
performances. Originally called Valse monotone, the title Valse Fantôme was
eventually chosen as an apt description of the dream-world evoked, too, by Sibelius
in his Valse triste.
The Rondeau rétrospectif of 1926 was
written for a composer's competition to mark the opening of the new Concert
Hall in Stockholm, in addition
to a cantata that Atterberg had first intended as his entry. In its various
episodes the Rondo offers a satirical view of the history of the Concert
Society, from its foundation in 1914. The piece, which the composer did not
intend as a serious contender for the prize offered, was completed in
difficulties, when Atterberg was suffering from the effects of pneumonia. In
the event the jury awarded the first prize to Atterberg's cantata and third
prize to the Rondo, which the composer has submitted in the hand-writing of a
friend, under the pseudonym Spectator. Carl Nielsen, a member of the jury,
later told Atterberg that they had originally wanted to give the rondo second
prize, but had decided to give the award to a symphony by Melchers, considering
the Rondo not serious enough.
The Rondo starts with a lively
representation of the beginning of the Concert Society. Motifs indicating the
Ode to Joy and the Eroica Symphony, suggesting the Programme Committee, are
combined with melodies of national origin representing Swedish composers,
ending in a combination of elements from Tchaikovsky's Pathétique Symphony and
Beethoven's Emperor Concerto, the score including references to well known
players in the Stockholm orchestra. Towards the end Atterberg quotes part of
his own Sixth Symphony and in the episode Conductor's International he refers
to the Marseillaise and the well known Heil dir. The Society, in its euphoria,
forgets its true purpose and there is laughter and whistling. A passacaglia,
based on a "national" ground, leads the music from chaos to dignity,
the cacophony dissipated with each succeeding variation, leading to a
jazz-influenced ending.
Atterberg completed his Trio Concertante in
G minor/C major, for violin, cello and harp, Opus 57, in 1966, a version of his
1960 Double Concerto for violin and cello, commissioned by Swedish Radio. The
first performance of the concerto, with its references to Swedish folk music,
took place in April 1961 under Ernst Ludwig Jochum.

Bio Logic Aqua Research Announces Discoveries About Moisture, Hydration, and Absorption in the Skin
Sharon Kleyne, Founder of Bio Logic Aqua Research and Host of Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water, Discusses Moisture, Hydration, and Absorption in the Skin.
Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) December 01, 2011
Sharon Kleyne, Founder of Bio Logic Aqua Research, announces new education about the skin as it applies to Nature's Mist® Face of the Waterâ"¢. Nature's Mist® Face of the Waterâ"¢ relieves dry, irritated skin and is the only product that delivers exactly what skin requires most: real moisture.
Integumentary System
Skin is the human body's largest organ and the primary contact with the surrounding environment. The "integumentary system" (skin and associated organs) or "integument " is the most closely watched yet under appreciated organ system, covering the entire body surface. It is the only system we see on a daily basis, almost in its entirety. We devote a lot of time to improving the appearance of the integument and associated structures because others see this system as well. Skin provides clues not only to an individual's physical state but emotional as well. When something goes wrong with the skin, the effects are immediately apparent. Skin not only protects the body from the surrounding environment but can also mirror the general health of other systems as well.
Skin Layers – Epidermis, Dermis and Hypodermis
The skin consists of an outer "epidermis", the "dermis", and "hypodermis" (or "subcutaneous layer"). Although the hypodermis is usually not considered a part of the integument, it is important because of its interconnections with the dermis. The hypodermis is the deepest layer, composed primarily of fat cells. Dermal and epidermal functions are described in detail below.
The inner "dermis", located above the hypodermis and beneath the epidermis, makes up 15-20% of our total body weight, depending upon moisture content. It gives skin its structural strength, protects the body from injury, stores water and interacts with the epidermis. It is responsible for the skin's structural integrity, elasticity and resilience and absorbs most substances that penetrate the skin. It is also where the majority of skin moisture is stored. When surface conditions dry skin, moisture is drawn from the dermis into the epidermis, then out through the stratum corneum (see epidermis below and transepidermal water loss "TEWL").
The thickest of the skin layers, the dermis comprises a tight, sturdy mesh of collagen and elastin fibers. Both collagen and elastin are critically important skin proteins: collagen is responsible for the structural support and elastin for skin resilience. The dermis also contains capillaries (tiny blood vessels) and lymph nodes (immune cell depots). The former are important for oxygenating and nourishing the skin, and the latter are essential for protecting it from invading microorganisms. Finally, the dermis contains sebaceous glands, sweat glands, hair follicles as well as a relatively small number of nerve and muscle cells.
The epidermis' top layer, the stratum corneum, is comprised of hard, flattened dead cells. Beneath are larger living cells and at deeper levels within the epidermis, the cells are even larger and more rounded in appearance. Within the innermost layer, new cells grow and push their way toward the surface, and in the process they flatten and lose most of their water content through pressure and dehydration. Free water will evaporate unless taken up into the dermis. In order for this to occur, water must possess certain properties like a proper pH level (more acidic than alkaline).
The epidermis' mission is to form the stratum corneum.1 Dead cells within the stratum corneum, usually remain in the exposed layer for two weeks before they are shed or washed away. The stratum corneum is an effective barrier to water loss and is mostly impermeable to external substances, including toxic materials. Although the stratum corneum is water resistant, it is not waterproof, and water from the interstitial fluids (fluid in the tissues that fills the spaces between cells) slowly penetrates the skin's surface, to evaporate into the surrounding environment. This process, accounts for a loss of roughly 500 ml (about 1pint) of water per day.
Nature's Mist, an all-natural tissue-culture grade water, insures proper absorption into the skin's deepest layer, the dermis.

Column: Gun debate revives enduring American fight
The multiple factors at play - and the loss of young innocents - could explain why, despite the nation's recent libertarianism on cultural matters, the Newtown, Conn., killings quickly spurred calls from across the political spectrum for at least a discussion of whether new limits should be placed on guns. This suggested a possible expansion of government in this realm.
"This awful massacre of our youngest children has changed us, and everything should be on the table," said Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. And Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, the senior Republican on the committee that would take up any legislation, said: "You've got to take all these things into consideration."
The NRA, the nation's largest gun-rights lobby, has promised opposition to more regulations, just as it helped ensure the federal assault weapons ban wasn't renewed in 2004 and state gun laws were loosened by legislatures.
Advocates for gay marriage, marijuana legalization and abortion rights also all have made significant recent strides. Each has pushed legislation in states with friendly political environments while also taking advantage of the country's changing mindset.
Consider that in the last election:
-Washington, Maryland and Maine became the first states ever to approve same-sex marriage by popular vote. Now nine states and the District of Columbia recognize gay unions.
-Washington state and Colorado voted to legalize recreational marijuana use, and Obama's administration signaled it wouldn't pursue those users, even though the drug is illegal under federal law.
-Several Republicans who took rigid stands against abortion rights lost. Among them: GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Then, only six weeks after the election, came Sandy Hook. And gun control jumped to the front of the national conversation.
In the days and weeks before, lawmakers in the GOP-led states of Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina and Pennsylvania considered proposals to loosen restrictions on employees keeping guns in their vehicles on work property, and Ohio's legislature passed a law allowing guns to be left in parked vehicles underneath the Statehouse.
A federal appeals court in Illinois struck down a ban on carrying concealed weapons, while Florida's GOP-led administration announced that 1 million people would soon have valid permits to carry them. Michigan's legislature also approved laws easing restrictions, though its Republican governor, Rick Snyder, later vetoed a measure allowing certain gun owners to carry concealed weapons in public places.
Public opinion polling has illustrated the trend since 2000, with more Americans now generally favoring the right to own guns over increased limitations on ownership. But there is also widespread support in surveys for reinstating the federal assault weapons ban and for limiting high-capacity magazines.
It is, for sure, a contradictory series of messages - unsurprising for an issue that asks such an intricate question: In a world of weaponry unimaginable to the people who came up with the Second Amendment, how do you strike the right balance between the individual's right to bear arms and the government's role in protecting the public?

Episode #42
Stacy Keach
Monday, May 27, 2013
Stacy Keach's dad was an actor, director and a producer. He had hoped his son would be a lawyer. Keach eventually wore down his parents, abandoned his major of political science and economics to pursue acting. Keach started with Shakespeare, which took him from a festival in Oregon to studying classical theater in England. Today, Keach teaches acting via Skype and his only true regret is not experiencing more of the great outdoors.
Hosted by:Alec Baldwin
Produced by:Emily Botein and Kathie Russo
Comments [7]
My husband I first heard this podcast on Swell and really enjoyed Alec Baldwin. We're more conservative politically and, of course we've seen all the negative media coverage. What a pleasant surprise to discover this smart, thoughtful and gifted person instead. We've always enjoyed his acting and thought he had great comedic talent. Thank you, especially, for the interviews with people who do not fit into your political philosophy. I'm so tired of all the finger pointing and name calling by both sides. It's refreshing to hear honest questions that aren't used as a way to build on the negative stereotypes so often portrayed by the media. No matter who is being interviewed, the show is always interesting, educational and fun. Again, thank you.
Great show!
I listened to the George Will interview even thought I am more liberal than a Canadian and was entertained and educated. Mr. Baldwin was so polite and respectful that I couldn't help but really listen to "the other side" and came away with a better understanding of the conservative viewpoint.
This is a completely and totally fantastic show. Well done Mr. Baldwin. It's particularly amazing, after listening to several episodes, you start to see the humanity behind the act of creation and that these are just people, very dynamic and talented people, but ultimately people who are doing the thing that compels them most the best that they can. Such an inspiration.
Really enjoyed the interview with Stacy Keach. Alec's questions kept the dynamics moving along. Very nice interview style.
My son suggested I listen to Here's the Thing because he knows I am a huge fan of Elaine Strich. I have since downloaded most of the archive and have enjoyed each interview/discussion. Mr. Baldwin is a wonderful and very well prepared host and you can tell that his guests enjoy opening up to him by the way that each one tells their stories. Thank you for such a wonderful program. I can't wait to hear the next story!
My company has me stationed in Brazil... I loved downloading episodes of the show and listening to them in my car. Are you going to make the mp3´s available again?
I am addicted to Here's the Thing. I love every single one of them and have listened to them all countless times. Alec is so incredibly articulate but also ridiculously bright. What a gem. I just wish there were more. I'm in Eastern Europe shooting and this show keeps me company in the evenings.

Gotta love getting a bike 'naked'
I *so* wish I'd snapped picture last winter to reply to this thread.
I tore a Superhawk 996 track bike down to the bare frame in a 10'x10' prefab shed while my garage was being renovated. It was 20 degrees outside and I was heating the shed with a kerosene heater placed strategically away from the plastic body parts (I kept the fuel tank out in the snow thank you very much
) There were parts EVERYWHERE in there. I had a little path cleared to walk around the frame on the stand and that was it.
On the upside, I got it back together. The garage is now finished. And I rode the Superhawk crosscountry this summer without a hitch

Men's Horween Leather Hawaiian Travel Sandals
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Clothing/Footwear/Men's Footwear
Although the look is pure laidback island leisure, these leather sandals represent the meeting of two long-time American manufacturers: Hawaii's Island Slippers and Chicago's Horween Leather. Island Slippers was founded in the 1940s with the goal of improving on Japan's zori sandals and the ubiquitous Hawaiian "rubbah slippah" (don't call them flip-flops or thongs if you want to sound like an islander). Horween, founded in 1905, is Chicago's last remaining tanneryand one of less than 15 left in the country. At least half of the players in Major League Baseball use gloves made with Horween leather, and since 1941, Horween has been the exclusive supplier of football leather for the NFL.

Category: Travel/Travel Clothing and Accessories/Men's Travel Clothing and Accessories
Buffalo nickels, designed to be a truly American piece of coinage, were in circulation from 1913 to only 1938. Today, finding a buffalo-head nickel is a little like finding a four-leaf cloverrare enough to be considered a good-luck charm. Our pebbled leather, magnetized money clip features an inlaid buffalo nickel. Two card slots on back.
Shearling Collar Down Bomber Jacket
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Clothing/Men's Clothing/Jackets and Vests
In 1921, American test pilot John A. Macready took his open-cockpit aircraft to the record-breaking altitude of 40,000 feet. The only thing between Macready and the atmosphere was his flight jacket, already a necessity for fliers in those early days of aviation. Inspired by the classic "bomber" jackets worn by American Air Force pilots in WWII, this down jacket with removable shearling collar keeps you warm and dry for adventures at any altitude.

Product description
Not since Kate Atkinson's Behind the Scenes at the Museum has there been such a sparklingly original and exceptional debut by a new writer. Theobald Moon hopes to satiate the yearnings of his hungry soul (and considerable belly) when he leaves south London to start a new life in the Arizona desert. Planting a cactus garden around his mobile home where he can star-gaze and practise yoga, Theo provides a haven of security for his small daughter Josie, weaving around her a gossamer web of fairy stories and belief in an ordered universe. But as his little Jelly-O grows into disaffected adolescence, there are questions she asks which Theo refuses to answer. When the terrible truth emerges, we discover a man whose actions may be reprehensible but who is portrayed with such intelligent humanity that we may find it impossible to condemn him. Bold, quirky and youthful, there is no mistaking Susan Elderkin's voice. Sunset Over Chocolate Mountains is an astonishing debut.

Editorial reviews
An impressive if overly self-conscious first novel, rife with imagery and eccentricity. The aptly named Theobald Moon is enormously fat, obsessed with food, lonely, and innocent. He arrives in Arizona from London after his mothers death. The chronicle of Theo's adjustment to his new lifeplanting a garden, making a cowboy friend, practicing yoga, beginning a notebook of fantasy storiesoffers only shaky scaffolding for the gorgeous prose with which Elderkin describes everything Theo encounters, from exotic cactus and wild animals to a mouthwatering list of British sweets. Spliced into the account of Theos first year in the desert is the more recent history of his daughter, Josephine. Annoyingly fey as a small child, she acquires a provocative though slightly nasty edge when she grows into an unhappy adolescent no longer satisfied to hide with Theo (still unprepared for the harsher realities of the local community) in his isolated fairy-tale landscape. Elderkins third intertwining story chronicles the love affair of Eva, who works in a shoe factory in Slovakia, and Tibor, who sells ice cream and may or may not be a felon on the run. Less dependent on literary sleights-of-hand, the Eva & Tibor romance involves the reader more fully than the Theo & Josephine saga. Elderkin, la Michael Cunningham in The Hours, plays out the three narratives in tandem, then reveals their underlying unity. The strings tying the sections together, however, are pretty obvious, and the conclusion feels thin. The real accomplishment here is the richness and detail of her sensory inventiveness.While Elderkins talent and ambition are obvious, her magnificent language sometimes dwarfs the characters and their story.
