The Biomimicry Taxonomy organizes biology by design function, categorizing the different biological strategies organisms and other natural systems use to solve specific challenges—the same challenges faced by human innovators.
The Biomimicry Taxonomy is represented by a three-tiered hierarchy of these functions that starts broad and gets progressively narrower. Explore the functions below to find strategies that are as general (for example, Get, Store, or Distribute Resources) or as specific (for example, Distribute Liquids) as you see fit to align with the challenge you're seeking to solve.

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce does not believe the illness of the club's co-chairman David Gold will affect business in the January transfer window.
Gold, 76, is in hospital recovering from pneumonia after being taken ill following the FA Cup third-round clash with Manchester United. Allardyce said he had yet to speak to Gold but wished him well and moved to assure supporters the club's recruitment drive will not falter in his absence.
"Myself and all the players will be wishing him well today. I only found out yesterday that he was poorly," Allardyce said. "We will get a message to him in the very near future and wish him a speedy recovery."

How To Identify Mustang Carburetors
Quick Facts From Pony Carburetors To Help You Find The Right Carb For Your Vintage Mustang
Autolite 1100 carburetor identification is done by examining the base plate and searching for numbers. Look for the Ford part number for initial identification. Prior to '67, 1100 carburetors had one accelerator pump diaphragm. From '67-'69, there were two, with the second diaphragm acting as an anti-stall dashpot instead of an accelerator pump on automatic transmission models. If you see a spark control valve (looks like a power valve), you've found a pre-'68 1100 carburetor. The best way to identify size is venturi inside diameter - 1.00-, 1.10-, or 1.20-inches. The Mustang's 200ci six runs best with 1.10- or 1.20-inches. Ideally, you will go with the 1.20-inch for optimum performance.
1100 Vaporizer
The all-new 1100 Vaporizer carburetor from Pony Carburetors is not a rebuild. Instead, it's a totally new carburetor with all of the woes engineered out for optimum performance. Pony Carburetors has taken the annular discharge design found in 2100/4100 carburetors and incorporated it into the 1100 for better performance. It improves fuel atomization for a smooth transition from idle to power circuit, inducing better throttle response. It took a lot of research and development to get the Vaporizer to market, which means you're getting a well-engineered carburetor that employs the best technology available from a vintage design carburetor. Each Vaporizer is run-tested in the Pony Carburetors' engineering lab before packaging.
Like all Pony Carburetors' products, each new 1100 Vaporizer is shipped with detailed instructions plus a filter and gasket for installation. When you consider how challenging it is to find a serviceable 1100 carburetor core, plus the cost of rebuilding, the Vaporizer is an excellent value at $429.50 plus shipping.
Autolite 2100/4100
Ford introduced the Autolite 2100 and 4100 carburetors on the '57 Ford Y-Block V-8. Ironically, that same year Holley came out with its own line of performance carburetors with removable fuel bowls, metering blocks, and similar design nuances to the Ford/Autolite 2V and 4V carburetors. We've never been able to determine which came first - the Autolite or the Holley. However, both have proven legendary in terms of performance and reliability over more than 50 years of use.
The 2100 and 4100 were direct replacements for Holley 4000 "Teapot" carburetors used on the Y-Block Fords prior to 1957. Holley 4000s were also known as "Haystacks," "Coffee Grinders," and "Fireboxes" due to their design and nasty habit of catching fire. Suffice it to say the 4000 needed to go when a new generation of carburetors from Ford and Holley came along.
What makes the 2100 and 4100 significant to Ford history is engineering advances at the time. These are the first Ford carburetors to have annular discharge booster venturis, which smoothed out the transition from idle to power as the throttle was opened to eliminate hesitation. Although we will get arguments from Holley fans, the 2100 and 4100 can easily be called the most reliable factory carburetors ever made. They tended to be limited by venturi and throttle bore size (CFM), which made Holley the performance champ. The main difference in these carburetors is size. The 2100 came in sizes ranging from 190 to over 400cfm, with the 4100 ranging from 480 to 605cfm. The 2100 two-barrel is nothing more than a 4100 without secondaries. This means there's a lot of interchangeability between the two types.

Hi again Naruto-kun inhabitants. Last night I was checking up on the released manga I might want to read, and noticed that the new chapters of Naruto and Bleach were released, so I decided to put them up for you today. It's earlier than the usual Wednesday or Thursday, so we'll see if it'll continue to be this way or if it'll somehow go back to the regular schedule.
Anywho, the new chapters are up in their respective download sections, so I hope you all enjoy them.

Going Global: 3 Tips for Expanding Your Business Internationally
With the ever-growing number of online programs and communications tools available today, it's no surprise that businesses of all sizes are choosing to expand their market and sell to international consumers. One such company is national wireless accessories retailer Cellairis, which recently opened locations in Jamaica, Mexico, Chile, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates.
"Cellairis has rapidly expanded domestically since 2000," said Taki Skouras, the company's CEO and co-founder. "But because we stand behind our brand, products and proven concept, we wanted to be able to bring that growth to locations globally. We have devoted countless hours into intensive market research to identify international markets where we think our system will flourish."
International expansion isn't right for every business, but if it's something you're thinking about for yours, there are a few important factors to consider. Based on his experience with Cellairis, Skouras recommended taking the following steps before going global with your business. [10 Tips to Build a Global Business]
Do your research. Before expanding internationally, spend time researching the markets, current and future opportunities, and threats. Just because a concept is popular in the United States does not mean it will be successful in another region of the world.
Have a dedicated team.An organization should have a strong team solely focused on international growth that is ready to face challenges and fully support the expansion. Cellairis has built a strong and diverse international team with experience and knowledge of global markets to help support its franchisees and customers worldwide.
- Be ready to translate. Language barriers can present significant challenges for global businesses, so staffing your teams with bilingual employees is a must. If you don't have the budget for full-time translators, outsource tasks like overseas customer service and translation of promotional materials to freelancers.

The Bachelorette
James Van Der Beek Channels Chris Harrison in New Bachelorette Spoof (VIDEO)
Watch out, Chris Harrison. James Van Der Beek might just out-Harrison you!
The former Dawson Leery continues to endear himself to us, even after the untimely demise of his show, Don't Trust The B— in Apt. 23, with a new ad for the HTC One phone, in which he hosts a dating competition show featuring various phones vying for the heart of a young lovely. (Check in out in the video below!)
"Kara, it all comes down to this. Now you've spent a lot of time with these guys," James says to the faux-Bachelorette. "Are you ready to make this decision? [Long moment of silence] Sorry, that wasn't a rhetorical question. I'm genuinely asking."
Meanwhile, the phones in question act scarily like from Bachelorette contestants of seasons past!
"She's been all over my abs this whole time, so I think I got this," a guy in a smartphone costume says. "Once you go plastic..."
To make matters even more hilarious, James not-so-secretly hopes that Kara ultimately chooses him.
Should Chris ever get tired of the Bachelor/ette racket, we think James could thrive in this second career!

How can Econ-Geeks clearly explain their concerns to the non-Econ-Geeks?
By getting people to join the FCIC's social media feeds.
You know how incredibly complicated "Wall Street" has become with dubious benefits.
You, better than anyone, understand the risks involved that still threaten our economy.
You & the users of your site have lively, intelligent debates about econ & finance that isn't making it into the MSM.
You are also frustrated there is not highly publicized media exposure explaining the kind of conversations you are having.
- You recognize there must be some way to translate the conversations you're having for the average non-Econ-Geek.
So here's the idea:
A campaign that involves just 2 moving parts:
- 2. Get Econ-Geek type financial blogs to promote this campaign.
Having "numbers" follow the FCIC will force them to do their job to the best of their ability because so many will be watching.
"Numbers" will get them more press, more transparency and more people explaining the hows/whys/whatfors.
Because thousands/millions will be "following" their social media feeds, even more people will get involved to "translate".
"Numbers" will force Congress to take the info the FCIC finds seriously and take real action because of it.
It would just be a little space on your site with benefits without any risk.
Text for your Econ-Geek blog could be as simple as:
Isn't having people follow the FCIC's social media feeds a silly, naive idea?
How else can we ensure the FCIC does it's job and get media to cover this in a big way?
Why the FCIC?
They are Congressionally mandated to find out what happened.
They could serve as a central repository of information that is made transparent.
They could be able to stay out of the cancerous politics of Washington better than another official organization.
But so far the info the FCIC is pushing out sucks so why should any one follow them?
Yes it does. But how could they let it suck if thousands/millions were following them?

Cam timing - a bizarre issue

That is quite interesting as it kind-of seems like one big power pulse (single cylinder or 2,3,4 cylinder bike with each cylinder combusting at, or close to the same time as each other) gives more rear grip, or perhaps more predictable breaking of grip (spinning up) so you can use the power more effectively. - any-one know more about this?
I guess downsides are
1) more vibration (more like a large single cyl bike)
2) more stress through crank and transmission (though not necessarily on v twin as power pulses are not happening at the identical time)
Big Bang engines aren't meant so much to put the power pulses TOGETHER as it is to spread them out- this system was used on many Formula 1 4-stroke roadracing engines as the 4-cylinders usually produced power with 90-degree crank throws- in essence, there was a power pulse every full rotation of the crankshaft- which had the marked downside in motorcycle applications that the rider must wait on partial/closed throttle for a turn to open up before they can apply power- for fear of the rear tire spinning up quickly once it has lost traction.
As roadracing bikes approached & even exceeded 200bhp the tire wear was becoming more of an issue- by spreading the power pulses out (when viewed at the rear wheel) the tire compounds have more time to recover from the massive amount of energy (ie heat/hysterisis) they must endure.
So in the end you have a more rideable bike with tires that will last longer, allowing them to use even stickier compounds that are synonymous with fast wear.
As for trickle-down, Yamaha now sells their R1 with "Cross Plane Crankshaft Technology" making their bike that much easier to ride or race
As for big-bang the difference in crank inertia pulse spacing will indeed affect fueling, esp in the overlap phase of 4-stroke valve timing when both the intake & exhausts valves are open. Overlap, not a piston drawing down & "sucking" air into the engine plunger-style, is what makes 4-strokes work at anything above a few RPMs- it's that important. Basically the exhaust gasses are super-hot as they first leave the combustion chamber via the exhaust valve- this creates a low pressure area via the inertia of the gasses expanding & cooling as they move down the header.This low pressure draws the next intake charge in as the intake valve is just beginning to open, even as the piston approaches TDC. Perhaps most importantly pressure difference is greater than would be available due to atmospheric pressure alone, which is <15psi @ sea level. The longer the duration of overlap, the spread of power will move to higher RPMs- the downside being a loss of low RPM torque. Extreme overlap is found in drag racing engines which operate almost exclusively at high RPMs. Lots of overlap is makes hot-rodded engine "lumpy" at idle, as they aren't operating at their most efficient RPM. In many case RPM must be increased to maintain idle.
Adjusting overlap with slotted cam gears will allow you to entirely change the character of your engine to torquemonster or top-speed flyer without changing other elements like exhaust or intake, etc. Simply blueprinting your valve timing will allow you to match the cylinders for a smoother engine as well.

Wednesday Aug 14, 2013, Tarn Taran (Pb): Around 28,000 acres of agriculture field in Tarn Taran district has been submerged in water due to excessive flow in Beas river causing damage to crops, infrastructure and live-stock, an official said today.
Flooding of water has damaged several crops including paddy, vegetables and sugar-cane, besides damage to several houses and death of live-stock, Deputy Commissioner Balwinder Singh Dhaliwal said. However, the exact estimate of damage to crops can be made only after the fields get dry, he said. Dhaliwal said he along with Commissioner (Jalandhar), R Venkatratnam, today visited all the affected villages and added that a team of district administration is taking stock of the situation and would submit its report in next few days. All district officials including those from revenue and health department have been directed to remain available round-the-clock to those affected, he said. A team of senior doctors are already on job in the affected villages, Dhaliwal added.
Meanwhile, Punjab Congress Secretary Patti Harminder, who also visited several affected villages, alleged that the government has not done anything except distributing of chlorine tablets. He demanded that the government should immediately order fresh survey of crop damage and a compensation of Rs 20,000 per acre should be given to affected farmers.

By NATHAN GREGORY
Today, you wouldnŌĆÖt be able to see any signs of the trauma Jan Morgan endured after she was struck and nearly killed by a motorist one year ago.
Morgan, who was riding her bike in Clay County on May 22, 2011 when she was hit, was placed in a medically induced coma for six weeks and went through extensive therapy afterward.
Robbie Norton, the driver who struck Morgan, was found guilty April 4 of simple assault in Clay County Circuit Court. She was fined $250, given a six-month suspended jail sentence and ordered to make a public service announcement for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.
MorganŌĆÖs husband, David, said she has made great strides in her recovery.
ŌĆ£SheŌĆÖs doing much better than I ever expected,ŌĆØ David said. ŌĆ£A year ago today, if you told me that she was going to be able to have a conversation with me or even be here I would not have been able to be assured of that because I didnŌĆÖt know.ŌĆØ
Jan Morgan said she has completed therapy and is relieved that things are close to being back to normal.
ŌĆ£I would not say itŌĆÖs 100 percent. I can still tell there are some deficits, but for day-to-day stuff, routine stuff, it really doesnŌĆÖt affect me,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£Sometimes if IŌĆÖve got a difficult problem or a lot going on, mentally IŌĆÖm not quite as quick.ŌĆØ
Jan Morgan said the reason she was able to recover as well as she has is through her husbandŌĆÖs support.
ŌĆ£He was just amazing through all this. It helps that he is a doctor, so he knew a lot going in. I think he made some suggestions during the critical times with me that may have made a big difference, but certainly since I have had memory he knew what to do and encouraged me to do the right things even if I got mad at him,ŌĆØ Jan Morgan said. ŌĆ£He has been a tremendous security blanket and source of support.ŌĆØ
Though David Morgan said he doesnŌĆÖt want his wife hitting the road on her bike anymore, heŌĆÖs been surprised with how minimal the reminders of her accident are.
ŌĆ£The fact that a few weekends ago she participated in a mountain bike race (is telling of her progress). She still hasnŌĆÖt gotten on the road, and I donŌĆÖt think I want her to get on the road ŌĆö I donŌĆÖt want to get on the road anymore. Psychologically, itŌĆÖs still scary to do it,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Now I would say I am about the only person that would know if she has any deficits or not. No one else could tell. She is so close to being back to normal that I only know the subtle things that are a little bit different.ŌĆØ
Jan Morgan recently went to Jackson and participated in the Ride of Silence, an annual 6.2-mile slow ride held nationwide in memory of cyclists who have been killed and in honor of those who have recovered. She said the experience was a positive one.
ŌĆ£It was an opportunity to open a dialogue between cyclists and motorists about sharing the road. There are rules (motorists) should go by, and there are rules (cyclists) should go by. We all need to do our part,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs like my husband said: When somebody is killed, itŌĆÖs tragic, but people talk about it for a day or two and they move on. Because I was a survivor and I continue to talk about it, I can just keep pushing it in peopleŌĆÖs faces and say ŌĆśBe aware. WeŌĆÖre here. It happened to me,ŌĆÖ and I think thatŌĆÖs a good thing.ŌĆØ
Despite what she went through just to be able to live a normal life again and get back to work as owner of Boardtown Bikes, Jan Morgan said sheŌĆÖs eager to start her next challenge.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm going to start at Ole Miss Law School next week, so thatŌĆÖs going to be my next adventure just to see if I can actually do it,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£I think before I maybe had the mental wherewithal, and now because I have the cognitive problems I donŌĆÖt know if I can do it, but IŌĆÖm going to go give it a try and that will be a good focus to exercise my brain.ŌĆØ
Though she had to suffer a great deal, Jan Morgan said sheŌĆÖs seen several positives come as a result of her experience.
ŌĆ£I think because of the publicity we got and because of the fact that I survived, it tended to stay on peopleŌĆÖs minds, so public awareness has probably been prolonged,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve got all the 3-foot signs up (in Starkville). I have noticed that motorists are more tolerant of cyclists (and) cyclists are more cautious.ŌĆØ

Creating Cultural Heritage and Faculty Research Digital Collections: Less about process and more about human interaction
Printer-friendly version
The evolution of creating a digital project includes various steps moving from project idea to digital collection. While the idea to digitize is simple in theory, there are different ways to approach the digitization process. The creation of a massive digitization project is markedly different than that of a cultural heritage institution collection or faculty research project. The goal of mass digitization is not to create collections but to digitize everything, or in this case, every book every printed (Colye, 2006). The creation of digital collections for cultural heritage institutions and faculty research projects is less about the methodology of digitization and more about the human interaction between the partnering institutions. The interaction becomes a personal journey of selection and description of materials that strives to capture and provide online access to the history of the institution.
To find out more about how to preserve and provide access to the history of your institution send us e-mail or give us a call. We would love to walk you through the steps to creating a digital collection.

ELDER MUSIC: The Beethoven Obsession
This Sunday Elder Music column was launched in December of 2008. By May of the following year, one commenter, Peter Tibbles, had added so much knowledge and value to my poor attempts at musical presentations that I asked him to take over the column. He's been here each week ever since delighting us with his astonishing grasp of just about everything musical, his humor and sense of fun. You can read Peter's bio here and find links to all his columns here.
The Beethoven Obsession is a book about three men - well, four if you include Ludwig. It was written by BRENDAN WARD.
Brendan's mum was a trained pianist and played to concert standard. Most days began with her playing, usually Beethoven, and young Brendan grew up loving this music and became a decent pianist himself.
When he grew up he moved to Sydney from country New South Wales and naturally went to concerts there. It was at these he discovered pianist GERARD WILLEMS.
Gerard was born in The Netherlands and his family came to Australia when he was a boy. He learned the piano, both in the country of his birth, and with some difficulty it must be said, in his new country.
After some time he began a career playing the piano and teaching. He discovered a piano made by WAYNE STUART and was taken by the instrument.
Wayne was a cabinet maker in Tasmania and he was fascinated by pianos. As a boy, youth and adult he'd like to take old pianos apart and put them back together again, both to repair them and to see how they worked.
It was through doing this that he discovered that standard pianos lacked something at the extremes – the very high and very low notes didn't ring as clearly as those in the middle.
Eventually he found a way of overcoming this and built his own pianos (that also had more keys such that it spanned a full eight octaves).
Brendan noticed that no Australian had ever recorded the complete piano sonatas of Beethoven. Indeed, few anywhere had done that. He thought that Gerard would be the man for the job and suggested it to him.
Gerard realized it was a big undertaking but agreed to do it; but it had to be using the Stuart piano.
Brendan approached the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company) and they thought it was a good idea. However, they had doubts about the piano as some visiting pianists had tried it (notably Christopher Hogwood, who insisted on a Steinway) and didn't like it much.
They were unused to the clear sound all the way along the keyboard. The ABC suggested they used a different piano. Gerard said he would only do it if he could play the Stuart.
The ABC asked Brendan if he could think of someone else but he said he'd only be involved if Gerard was the one playing.
Eventually it was all sorted out the way it was originally intended to be and the box set was released to universal acclaim (including by me). That was some years ago.
Brendan wrote the book about the experience (and much more) and it was released recently. In the mean time, some previously little-known Beethoven piano works were discovered and Gerard recorded those as well as the piano concertos and the Dirabelli variations.
The original works were remastered and released in an even bigger boxed set along with the new works, again to overwhelming acclaim.
I'm going to play some music from the box as well as some other pieces of Beethoven for a bit of variety.
The three "new" sonatas (I'll be playing parts of two of them) Ludwig wrote when he was 11 and 12 years old.
We're used to prodigies in classical music – Mendelssohn, Schubert and Mozart in particular – but we don't usually lump Beethoven in with them. Perhaps we should rethink that.
This is the first of the pieces. Just think what you were doing when you were 11 years old.
The first movement of the Piano Sonata in E-flat major, WoO 47, No 1.
♫ Piano Sonata in E-flat major, WoO 47, no 1 (1)
The Duo for Two Flutes in G Major, WoO26 is the final work Ludwig composed while he was still in Bonn (where he was born and raised). He left for Vienna soon afterwards.
He wrote it for a friend of his to play and it wasn't intended for public performance, and wasn't published in his lifetime. It has two movements and we'll hear the first of these.
It has the great Jean-Pierre Rampal and the not quite so well known Alain Marion playing the flutes.
♫ Allegro & Minuet for 2 flutes, WoO26 (1)
Ludwig composed five sonatas for cello and piano. He pretty much invented the genre as the cello had only recently come into its own as a solo instrument. It had been around in string quartets of course (thanks to Haydn) but no one had thought to bring it to the fore.
Although this one is called number two, it's actually the last of the five that he wrote. So, to the third movement of the Cello Sonata in D major Op.102 N°2. Heinrich Schiff plays the cello and Till Fellner the piano.
♫ Cello Sonata in D major Op.102 N°2 (3)
Back to the piano sonatas. The sonata No 4 was dedicated to the Countess Babette Keglevich, who was his pupil at the time. Ludwig apparently had the hots for Babette (this wasn't unusual for him), but as normally happened, nothing came of it.
Not quite nothing. We got this piece of music, generally considered the first of his great sonatas. The fourth movement of the Piano Sonata No 4 in E-flat major, Op. 7.
♫ Piano Sonata No 4 in E-flat major, Op. 7 (4)
To mix things up a bit, here is some singing. We have something from an oratorio called Christus am Ölberge, or Christ on the Mount of Olives. It was the only oratorio that Ludwig composed and he was very dissatisfied with it, revising it several times both before and after it was first performed.
He remarked at the time that he'd much prefer to set secular works to music than religious ones. Here is a duet called So Ruhe Denn, sung by Maria Venuti and Keith Lewis.
♫ Christus am Ölberge, Op. 85 (9)
Another work that wasn't published in his lifetime, indeed, it wasn't finished – only two movements were written. It's a Duo for Viola and Cello in E flat major WoO 32. It has a subtitle by Ludwig "With two eyeglasses obbligato."
It's pretty well established that he played this with his friend, the amateur cellist Nikolaus Zmeskall, who apparently lent his glasses to Ludwig at the time. Alas, we don't have those two to play for us, instead it's a couple of members of the Zurich String Quintet.
The CD doesn't specify which two are playing. It's the second movement.
♫ Duet for Viola & Cello in E flat major WoO 32 (2)
Yet another composition Ludwig wrote just before leaving Bonn. He wrote most of his works for wind instruments when he was quite young, possibly he was still overawed somewhat by Haydn and didn't yet have the confidence to tackle Papa Jo's domain of symphonies and string quartets. He certainly overcame that reticence.
Anyway, here's the first movement for the Octet for 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons & 2 horns in E Flat Major, Op.103.
♫ Octet for 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons & 2 horns in E Flat Major, Op.103 (1)
The third of the very early sonatas – Ludwig was all of 12 when he wrote (and presumably played) this one. It's the first movement of the Piano Sonata in D major, WoO 47, No 3.
♫ Piano Sonata in D major, WoO 47, No 3 (1)
Everything else I've included today is for small ensembles or a single instrument. However, Ludwig's most famous works (except for the piano sonatas) involve full orchestra so I've decided to include a token one of those, a part of one of his symphonies.
That's not as easy as it seems as the movements of most of them are really too long for a column such as this and the shorter movements from my favorite (number 6) actually flow into each other so there's no distinct cut off point.
I turned to Symphony No 8 in F, Op 93 and have included the third movement.
♫ Symphony No 8 in F Op 93 (3)
I'll finish with one of the most famous piano sonatas - and one of the most beautiful. The first movement of the Piano Sonata No 14 in C sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2, usually known as the Moonlight.
♫ Piano Sonata No 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2 (1)
Declaration: I was sent the book, The Beethoven Obsession by the author. However, I was going to buy it when I heard about it (or perhaps get it from the library). If you're interested in the book or the disks of Gerard playing the piano sonatas you can find out about them here.

Excellent column.
I usuaslly think of Beethoven as an irascible, deaf genius, hammering out the chorale from the ninth, snarling to himself because he knew he would never hear it.
It's pleasant to know what an an 11-year-old genius did with his time.
It's a joy to have you find pieces we'd likely never hear without your effort. Thank you Peter!
Thrilled with your choice today. Listening to Beethoven always brings tears to my eyes. The beauty of the music and to think in the end he could not hear the audience applause just touches my heart. I feel the richness in the tones of the lower register. What our young are missing today! Thank you.
The lighter side of Beethoven. Perfect for a cloudy Sunday afternoon.
I can identify with Beethoven. I can't hear his beautiful music very well. It makes me sad.
Great piece you wrote here today Peter. Appreciate your time and efforts to compile such commentary and its associated music.
I want to add my thanks, Peter, for this collection of classics-as well as the weekly musical interlude you put together of we readers of Crabby Old Ladies blog. As much as I enjoy reading Ronni's blog posts I look forward to whatever you have put together for us to enjoy.
I am very interested in hearing more about the 8 octave piano and looking forward to both the book and the boxed set. though it will have to wait a while so I can save my pennies, It's something to look forward to.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
The city lot
Jul 30, 2014 - By Steven R. Peck
Is there a bona fide reason to impose new regulations?
The sight of commercial vehicles from a couple of companies occupying spaces around the clock in the free parking lot in downtown Riverton rubs some people the wrong way.
But it probably shouldn't. And even if it does, that seems insufficient grounds for slapping new regulations on the parking lot.
The Riverton City Council has been talking about doing exactly that, kicking around some ideas that could prohibit use of the lot by commercial businesses that aren't located close to it, or limiting the number of vehicles from one company that could use the lot, or restricting overnight or long-term use of the space.
Some have said the lot ought to be regulated just as city streets are. Others suggest a fee system for users who want to park long term or leave multiple vehicle there for extended periods. (For the record, our newspaper business recently moved a vehicle to the city lot, intending to use it for business no more than once a week.)
Any consideration of a new public regulation of this sort ought to be accompanied by a couple of simple questions. Is harm is being done? And could an ordinance address that harm fairly and effectively?
In the case of the city parking lot, it's hard to find the actual harm. The parking lot was conceived and constructed to provide free parking in downtown Riverton. At the time, more than 25 years ago, Riverton still had parking meters on several blocks of downtown streets, and the availability of free downtown parking was a hot public-interest topic.
Also of concern was the desirability of keeping parking spaces in front of downtown businesses open for customers. A free parking alternative for employees of those businesses was part of the impetus for forming the special improvement district that assessed downtown property owners for the funds that built the parking lot.
Not everyone liked that idea at the time, of course, but it was a far-sighted move for Riverton. The free parking lot is a valuable municipal asset that many cities our size don't have.
Despite that, the lot never has been used all that well. While it can fill up during special events such as the Friday Night Cruise or the Fremont County Fair parade, that never comes close to happening on a normal business day. No one looking for a parking spot there on a typical weekday ever has a problem. If that were not the case then a much better case could be made for telling the owners of the small fleets that now use the lot to make other arrangements or else start paying.
Short of that, where is the real problem? It is a free parking lot, there is no rule against parking multiple vehicles there, it is not a city street, the commercial vehicles are licensed and clearly aren't being abandoned, and plenty of parking remains available even when the fleets are there. Perhaps it is irritating to some, but there ought to be stronger justification for rewriting a city ordinance.
This has made for interesting discussion at City Hall, but what's missing is a bona fide to reason to start regulating the lot differently. Until one emerges, the best course probably is to leave it alone.

In the Spotlight
Madison Luechtefeld
Six-year-old Madison Luechtefeld loves to create beautiful things and has dreams of becoming a fashion designer when she grows up. So when her mother told her about the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Gateway Chapter's first annual art contest, she knew right away she wanted to enter.
"I like to be creative, and I just love doing art," says Madison, who has CF. "I would paint even if there wasn't a contest."
First prize for winning the contest was tickets to attend the Gateway Chapter's Reach for a Star gala and the opportunity to be on stage as the winning art was being auctioned. Madison chose to paint a picture of a rocket ship, explaining, "The people in the rocket ship were trying to reach the stars."
When the entries were judged, Madison's creation, Rocket in the Sky, won first prize. "I was really surprised and really excited!" Madison remembers.
A Night to Remember
At first, Alicia Luechtefeld, Madison's mom, was a bit concerned about how the evening would go for Madison. "It was a formal event, and she was the only kid there," she says. "But she glowed all night long and basked in the attention. It was definitely a highlight of her life."
Madison brought her favorite doll along for company, and she charmed everyone she met. When the purchaser of the painting offered to double his donation if Madison would re-sign the painting for him, she cheerfully obliged — and the sale of her painting raised $2,400 for the CF Foundation.
Madison was two months old when she was diagnosed with CF. Her brother, Brady, 4, does not have CF, but eight-month-old brother Logan does. To make living with CF easier on her family, Alicia follows the advice she would give to other parents who have children with the disease: "Work hard to live your life exactly as you would without the diagnosis. Treat the medicines as if everyone has to do it and it is part of daily life."
Madison seems to have absorbed her mother's straightforward attitude toward CF: She says the most important thing for people to know about CF is that "it's important to be active and to play outside."
In the Luechtefeld home, television makes the daily treatment regimen less of a burden. Madison and her brothers watch their favorite television shows during vest or hand percussion treatments.
Portrait of a Young Artist
While Madison is modest about her artistic talent, she is also justifiably proud of her achievement. Looking back on the experience of being on stage at the gala, Madison says, "I felt very proud of myself and my art."
She also understands the importance of her contribution to the work of the Foundation. And how does she feel about that? Her answer is clear: "Really good."

NETONE has expanded its agreement with Belgian firm Belgacom International Carrier Services to include international data roaming services.
The development will enable NetOne customers to access communication through international roaming services. Previously, NetOne international roaming was for voice calls and short message services only, but now this new development will also include international data roaming services.
Speaking on the new development, NetOne managing director Mr Reward Kangai said that the mobile phone operator was pleased to work with the Belgian company adding the relationship dated back to 1998 when an agreement was signed with Swisscom. This continued in 2005 when Swisscom merged with Belgacom.
'This is for our customers as they travel out of Zimbabwe and for tourists as they arrive in Zimbabwe because mobile communication has gone from voice and short messaging services to the Internet," he said.
Belgacom Africa regional vice president Ms Clementine Fournier said the company was happy to work with NetOne.
"We have a good relationship with NetOne which is long lasting, and we are launching mobile data roaming services that will enable visitors to have international roaming not only on voice and SMS but also on the Inter- net."
NetOne is in the process of rolling out 3G Internet services to Harare, Bulawayo, Victoria Falls, Midlands and Masvingo.

IT business justification to limit network access
Are you hoping to limit network access at your organization, but aren't sure how to go about creating an IT business justification for a proxy server? In this expert response, Randall Gamby explains what a proxy server can do, including how to explain its value to executives.
I personally like proxy services for the data leakage protection they provide. As most industry analysts will tell...

you, the threat of embedded email viruses has shifted to compromised websites where malware is loaded onto an employee's PC or the employee is tricked into giving up passwords or IDs. Because of this, organizations are limiting social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace or Twitter, which have become territorial hunting grounds for the makers of Trojans and other malware. (However, be aware that management executives see the possibilities of social networking for business use and are considering opening access to them in order to leverage these sites for commerce.)
Limiting access to the network can have other benefits, such as preventing sensitive information from exiting the company through unauthorized sources (like exiting employees), preventing employees from accessing other unauthorized sites and services, preventing Trojans and other malware that have already crept into your organization from sending data out to cybercriminals, and limiting bandwidth utilization to key personnel and applications.
In addition, be aware that tying network protection tools to identity management protection tools (for example, tying Active Directory to Group Policy) will incur a higher level of administrative burden on the organization (not to mention that the repository schema must be extended and the data inputted and maintained correctly, which may be a project in and of itself).
As far as business justification for these services goes, it depends on your organization's sensitivity to risk. Some organizations inherently trust that their workers are knowledgeable, ethical and careful when using the Internet, while other organizations believe that taking away the temptation of the Internet is the safest action for their general populations. As such, selling protection services will be more difficult in the first organization and easier in the second. Also, it's not a good idea to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD), so selling the concept of proxy services as added protection should be done with sensitivity to your management's feelings about the possibility of breaches and unauthorized disclosures of information. And of course, educating your management on what proxy services do and their business value in the reduction of identity theft and fraud is a good place to start.
Proxy services are becoming a de facto tool in many organizations' security arsenal, but which tool or tools you need to maintain the surety of your environment must be considered carefully in terms of its business justification.

lighting in photography – it does not have to be complicated to start
During a lunch-time conversation, a friend told me that she felt intimidated by the on-location flash photography by other photographers. The way to use multiple-flash setups seemed impenetrable to grasp. How would one go about and where do you even start. This made me wonder – just how complicated should photography lighting be? I don't think it has to be complicated. It just has to be enough to be effective or solve a problem.
With on-location photography, my starting point is usually where I consider if I can improve the existing light with flash (or video light). What do I need to add to make it just a little bit better? And does it need something more to make it even better? The final image needs to look good. Tall of this is an iterative thought-process, rather than a compelling desire that I have to use every flash that I own.
This straight-forward portrait of Anelisa,was taken during an individual workshop in New York. It might be a good example where off-camera flash was used for the tiniest bit of sweetening of the light. A bit of rim-lighting to separate her from the black doorway.

SAVOUR your breakfast coffee while you can. The future of the world's most popular coffee bean is under threat. Only an international emergency programme can save the surviving remnants of the wild arabica coffee plants growing in the highland rainforests of southwest Ethiopia, an Ethiopian ecologist claims.
"We gave the world coffee. Now we hope the international community will collaborate with us to save its genetic base," says Tadesse Gole, currently at the University of Bonn in Germany. Government plans to protect three forest fragments have foundered for lack of cash, Gole told the conference.
Some 90 per cent of the coffee we drink is arabica, making it the most valuable international commodity apart from oil. Most of it is grown on plantations outside Ethiopia from a handful of cultivated varieties created from a few individual bushes.
But these plantations are at risk from disease, such as the coffee rust ...

Hampshire Manor Wedding
This weekend we shot the loverly Lou & Pete's wedding at Cain Manor in the Hampshire / Surrey boarder area.
Massive thanks goes to Lou, Pete and all their wedding guests for being such good sports and totally getting 'on board' with our photographic vision and the way that we work.
You have to check out the photo booth on our facebook page here. It's got to be one of the best that we've done. As Lou & Pete are going on a road trip around the west coast side of Route 66 in the USA, we thought we'd do an American trucker themed photo booth for them.
We'll post a bigger gallery of the day at some point in the future. But for now here is a sneak peek for you.
Oh and you can also check out Lou & Pete's fantastic Superheroes engagement shoot here.
You can get an idea about what we did for Lou & Pete, by looking at the whole photography package of engagement shoot, wedding photography and photo booth. We always like to do things a little differently from other wedding photographer's and give our couples more than just wedding photo's. If you'd like to speak to us about your wedding photography we'd love to hear from you just click this link to get in contact.

Berkshire Designers Wedding
Lucy & Chris were married at Wasing Park, near Reading, Bearkshire. Chris is a graphic designer and a pretty creative chap (as well as being a top bloke) and Lucy is just one of the most down to earth people that you're be likely to meet.
Chris has to be the only groom who's given us a mood board of the kind of wedding photography that he likes. We just loved that!!! Give us a bride and groom who are totally committed to their wedding photography and we'd happily shoot their wedding every day of the week.
With Chris being a very talented graphic designer, we thought that we'd give our photography a very strong, clean graphical edge and used that to influence the photographic style for the wedding.
We loved the fact that Lucy and Chris's vow's mentioned Chris's beloved Arsenal Football Club (even though they did loose badly that day) and that each table had a colour green theme. They also let us do what ever we wanted for their photo booth and just said, "We totally trust you, suprise us." Check out the photo's here.
Thanks so much Lucy & Chris for being such wonderful people and also taking us and Nathan Pask (who's a super talented fashion photographer) who joined the team for this wedding out for dinner afterwards to say thanks.
If you'd like to have a chat with us about what we can do for your wedding photography, we'd love to hear from you, just give us a shout here.
Analogue Exhibition Private View
Last night was the private view for the Analogue Exhibition that our main photographer Adam Bronkhorst is involved in.

The venue was packed with people checking out the photography and just hanging out. The show has a really strong selection of works by different photographers featuring:
Tom Welland
Adam Bronkhorst
The show has already been extended and will run until 27th April (opening times from 12-5pm). If you are in Brighton and want to check it out, head down to the Artist Residence Hotel in Regency Square, Brighton, Sussex.
Massive thanks to Tom Welland for getting us involved and a big congratulations and THANK YOU to Gem & Carley (thats them in the last photo) from Collate Presents for all their hard work in organising the exhibition.

Superheroes Engagement Shoot
Thank you thank you thank you to Lou & Pete for being game and agreeing to our mad idea of getting them to dress up as Wonder Woman and Superman for their superhero themed engagement shoot. How cool are they!
So you know that we like to do things in our own special way at Viva Wedding Photography. We refuse to do an engagement shoot like the millions that we've seen before, where the couple are having a 'Vintage Picnic' or something similar and cliche. Have a look at our past engagement shoots for some of the ideas that we've done in the past.
We'd only spoken on the phone to Pete before and never met either of them in person, but in testing the waters over some of our ideas, we asked Pete what kind of films they like watching. Pete told us that they are quite partial to superheroes movies (in fact Pete also told us on the engagement shoot that one of their first dates to the cinema was a choice between a chick flick and X-men. They ended up seeing X-men and Pete said he knew Lou was the girl for him then and there).
So with the superheroes theme in our minds we began to think of ideas. When we asked them which Superheroes do they see themselves as, and they said that Pete is Superman and Lou is Wonder Woman. That was it, there was no doubt in our mind that we were hiring them those costumes for the engagement shoot!
We decided to tone down our initial idea of having them run though the streets of town wearing the costumes and do a studio type shoot instead. Having a professional photographer shoot you for your wedding, is often the first time that most people have had their photograph taken properly and can be quite a daunting experience (unless you have the right photographer), espesially on a day when you are quite nervous anyway. That's why we always recomend having an engagement shoot as it just helps to get better images of your wedding. Although doing a very posed studio type shoot with studio lights etc. is nothing like how we shoot on wedding days, the purpouse of the engagement shoot was to show Lou & Pete that having your photo taken can be really fun, and they are now totally prepared for the photography on their wedding day.
We can't wait to shoot Lou & Pete's wedding and spendning more time with such a fun couple. Thanks so much guys.
If you'd like to talk to us about any cool and out there ideas for your engagement shoot, just give us a shout!

Restaurants in Capri
Restaurants in Capri turn out the classic Mediterranean fare that visitors to the Italian coast expect and crave. Steaming dishes of fresh-caught fish and langoustines are heaped onto tables studded with crisp glasses of limoncello, warm baked bread and the signature Caprese salad of fresh mozzarella, juicy summer tomatoes and pungent sprigs of basil. Many will offer fantastic views and stunning Italian ambience, so it's hard to go wrong when choosing your next meal.
It's not possible to have a bad meal in Italy, but there are some Capri restaurants especially worth the euros. Da Gemma has been open since 1872 and was a favorite of Graham Greene's when he lived on the island. For a double-hitter, drink in views of the famous Blue Grotto while you dine at Il Riccio, one of the most popular restaurants in Capri. Check out the Travel + Leisure list to find the best restaurants in Capri.
In an all-but-hidden alleyway in Anacapri, on the quieter, north side of the island, the Trattoria Il Solitario takes up an outdoor garden in front of a 14th-century bell tower of the Church of Santa Sofia.
Named after the three iconic rock outcrops off Capri's south coast, this restaurant just south of the central piazzetta holds fast to tradition, not just in the simply decorated, white interior, but in the menu as well.
Strolling down the Via Vittorio Emanuele extending south from Capri's central "piazzetta," the air fills with the sweet smell of baking waffle cones and bowls coming from the open-arch front window of Gelateria Buonocore.
Just west of Capri's central "piazzetta," Da Giorgio restaurant operates out of the hotel of the same name, serving traditional island fare like linguine with redfish sauce, scialatielli with prawns, and beef fillet in a red wine sauce.
Just as Odysseus navigated the Faraglioni rocks off the south coast of Capri, so does the free shuttle boat from Marina Piccola run by this renowned, jet-set restaurant and beach club.

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) May 01, 2014
Investing in his motto that those who feel their most confident best perform their most confident best, The Gents Place CEO Ben Davis has selected multinational fitness leader
24-Hour Fitness as the newest employee perk provider by way of individual gym memberships.
In addition to a benefits package including continuing education bonuses, employees of all The Gents Place locations will now receive complimentary membership to all 24-Hour Fitness facilities—including their elite "Ultra Sport" clubs—as an employment benefit.
"Our ultimate vision—for members and employees—is supreme confidence day in and day out," says Davis, "and there's no doubt staying active plays a critical role in this."
About The Gents Place: Frequently referred to as America's premier men's grooming and lifestyle club, The Gents Place was founded in 2008 by Ben Davis out of frustration with having to choose between sub-par barbers and effeminate salons. In the years since, it has grown to include locations in Texas (Dallas, Frisco) and Kansas (Leawood) while offering a suite of men's services including straight razor shaves, hair upkeep sessions and consultations, and professional massages in a relaxed-yet-refined country club environment.
