The father of Samuel Wesley was the Rev. John Westley, rector of Winterborne Whitechurch, Dorset. His mother was the daughter of Rev. John White , rector of Trinity Church, Dorchester, also known as "Patriarch of Dorchester". He is the husband of Susanna Wesley.
His poetic career began in 1685 with the publication of Maggots, a collection of juvenile verses on trivial subjects, the preface to which, a frothy concoction, apologizes to the reader because the book is neither grave nor gay. The first poem, "On a Maggot", is composed in hudibrastics, with a diction obviously Butlerian, and it is followed by facetious poetic dialogues and by Pindarics of the Cowleian sort but on such subjects as "On the Grunting of a Hog." In 1688 Wesley took his B.A, at Exeter College, Oxford, following which he became a naval chaplain and, in 1690, rector of South Ormsby; he became rector of Epworth in 1695. During the run of the Athenian Gazette (1691–1697) he joined with Richard Sault and John Norris in assisting John Dunton, the promoter of the undertaking. His second venture in poetry, the Life of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour, an epic largely in heroic couplets with a prefatory discourse on heroic poetry, appeared in 1693, was reissued in 1694, and was honored with a second edition in 1697. In 1695 he dutifully came forward with Elegies, lamenting the deaths of Queen Mary II and Archbishop Tillotson. An Epistle to a Friend concerning Poetry (1700) was followed by at least four other volumes of verse, the last of which was issued in 1717. His poetry appears to have had readers on a certain level, but it stirred up little pleasure among wits, writers, or critics. Judith Drake confessed that she was lulled to sleep by Blackmore's Prince Arthur and by Wesley's "heroics" (Essay in Defence of the Female Sex, 1696, p. 50). And he was satirized as a mare poetaster in Garth's Dispensary, in Swift's The Battle of the Books, and in the earliest issues of the Dunciad.
For a few years in the early eighteenth century Wesley found himself in the vortex of controversy. Brought up in the dissenting tradition, he had swerved into conformity at some point during the 1680s, possibly under the influence of Tillotson, whom he greatly admired (of. Epistle to a Friend, pp. 5-6). In 1702 there appeared his Letter from a Country Divine to his friend in London concerning the education of dissenters in their private academies, apparently written about 1693. This attack upon dissenting academies was published at an unfortunate time, when the public mind was inflamed by the intolerance of overzealous churchmen. Wesley was furiously answered; he replied in A Defence of a Letter (1704), and again in A Reply to Mr. Palmer's Vindication (1707). It is scarcely to Wesley's credit that in this quarrel he stood shoulder to shoulder with that most hot-headed of all contemporary bigots, Henry Sacheverell. His prominence in the controversy earned him the ironic compliments of Daniel Defoe, who recalled that our "Mighty Champion of this very High-Church Cause" had once written a poem to satirize frenzied Tories (Review, II, no. 87, Sept. 22, 1705). About a week later Defoe, having got wind of a collection being taken up, for Wesley—who in consequence of a series of misfortunes was badly in debt—intimated that High-Church pamphleteering had turned out very profitably for both Lesley and Wesley (October 2, 705). But in such snarling and bickering Wesley was out of his element, and, he seems to have avoided future quarrels.
His literary criticism is small in bulk. But though it is neither brilliant nor well written (Wesley apparently composed at a break-neck clip), it is not without interest. Pope observed in 1730 that he was a "learned" man (letter to Swift, in Works, ed. Elwin-Courthope, VII, 184). The observation was correct, but it should be added that Wesley matured at the end of an age famous for its great learning, an age whose most distinguished poet was so much the scholar that he appeared more the pedant than the gentleman to critics of the succeeding era; Wesley was not singular for erudition among his seventeenth-century contemporaries.
The Essay on Heroic Poetry, serving as Preface to The Life of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour, reveals something of its author's erudition. Among the critics, he was familiar with Aristotle, Horace, Longinus, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Heinsius, Bochart, Balzac, Rapin, Le Bossu, and Boileau. But this barely hints at the extent of his learning. In the notes on the poem itself the author displays an interest in classical scholarship, Biblical commentary, ecclesiastical history, scientific inquiry, linguistics and philology, British antiquities, and research into the history, customs, architecture, and geography of the Holy Land; he shows, an intimate acquaintance with Grotius, Henry Hammond, Joseph Mede, Spanheim, Sherlock, Lightfoot, and Gregory, with Philo, Josephus, Fuller, Walker, Camden, and Athanasius Kircher; and he shows an equal readiness to draw upon Ralph Cudworth's True Intellectual System and Robert Boyle's new theories concerning the nature of light. In view of such a breadth of knowledge it is somewhat surprising to find him quoting as extensively as he does in the "Essay" from Le Bossu and Rapin, and apparently leaning heavily upon them.
The "Essay" was composed at a time when the prestige of Rymer and neo-Aristotelianism in England was already declining, and though Wesley expressed some admiration for Rapin and Le Bossu, he is by no means docile under their authority. Whatever the weight of authority, he says, "I see no cause why Poetry should not be brought to the Test [of reason], as well as Divinity...." As to the sacred example of Homer, who based his great epic on mythology, Wesley remarks, "But this [mythology] being now antiquated, I cannot think we are oblig'd superstitiously to follow his Example, any more than to make Horses speak, as he does that of Achilles." To the question of the formidable Boileau, "What Pleasure can it be to hear the howlings of repining Lucifer?" our critic responds flippantly,"I think 'tis easier to answer than to find out what shew of Reason he had for asking it, or why Lucifer mayn't howl as pleasantly as either Cerberus, or Knoeladus." Without hesitation or apology he takes issue with Rapin's conception of Decorum in the epic. But Wesley is empiricist as well as rationalist, and the judgment of authority can be upset by appeal to the court of experience. To Balzac's suggestion that, to avoid difficult and local proper names in poetry, generalized terms be used, such as Ill-luck for the Fates and the Foul Fiend for Lucifer, our critic replies with jaunty irony, "... and whether this wou'd not sound extreamly Heroical, I leave any Man to judge", and thus he dismisses the matter. Similarly, when Rapin objects to Tasso's mingling of lyric softness in the majesty of the epic, Wesley points out sharply that no man of taste will part with the fine scenes of tender love in Tasso, Dryden, Ovid, Ariosto, and Spenser "for the sake of a fancied Regularity." He had set out to defend the Biblical epic, the Christian epic, and the propriety of Christian machines in epic, and no rules or authority could deter him. As good an example as any of his independence of mind can be seen In a note on Bk. I, apropos of the poet's use of obsolete words (Life of Our Blessed Lord, 1697, p. 27): It may be in vicious imitation of Milton and Spenser, he says in effect, but I have a fondness for old words, they please my ear, and that is all the reason I can give for employing them.
Wesley's resistance to a strict application of authority and the rules grew partly out of the rationalistic and empirical temper of Englishmen in his age, but it also sprang from his learning. From various sources he drew the theory that Greek and Latin were but corrupted forms of ancient Phoenician, and that the degeneracy of Greek and Latin in turn had produced all, or most, of the present European tongues (ibid., p. 354). In addition, he believed that the Greeks had derived some of their thought from older civilizations, and specifically that Plato had received many of his notions from the Jews (ibid., p. 230)--an idea which recalls the argument that Dryden in Religio Laioi had employed against the deists, furthermore, he had, like many of his learned contemporaries, a profound respect for Hebrew culture and the sublimity of the Hebrew scriptures, going so far as to remark in the "Essay on Heroic Poetry" that "most, even of [the heathen poets'] beat Fancies and Images, as well as Names, were borrow'd from the Antient Hebrew Poetry and Divinity." In short, however faulty his particular conclusions, he had arrived at an historical viewpoint, from which it was no longer possible to regard the classical standards--much less the standards of French critics--as having the holy sanction of Nature herself.
Some light is shed on the literary tastes of his period by Epistle to a friend concerning poetry (1700) and the Essay on Heroic Poetry (1697), which with a few exceptions were in accord with the prevailing current. The Life of Our Blessed Lord shows strongly the influence of Cowley's Davideis. Wesley's great admiration persisted after the tide had turned away from Cowley; and his liking for the "divine Herbert" and for Crashaw represented the tastes of sober and unfashionable readers. Although he professed unbounded admiration for Homer as the greatest genius in nature, in practise he seemed more inclined to follow the lead of Cowley, Virgil, and Vida. Although there was much in Ariosto that he enjoyed, he preferred Tasso; the irregularities in both, however, he felt bound to deplore. To Spenser's Faerie Queene he allowed extraordinary merit. If the plan of it was noble, he thought, and the mark of a comprehensive genius, yet the action of the poem seemed confused. Nevertheless, like Prior later, Wesley was inclined to suspend judgment on this point because the poem had been left incomplete. To Spenser's "thoughts" he paid the highest tribute, and to his "Expressions flowing natural and easie, with such a prodigious Poetical Copia as never any other must expect to enjoy." Like most of the Augustans Wesley did not care greatly for Paradise Regained, but he partly atoned by his praise for Paradise Lost, which was an "original" and therefore "above the common Rules." Though defective in its action, it was resplendent with sublime thoughts perhaps superior to any in Virgil or Homer, and full of incomparable and exquisitely moving passages. In spite of his belief that Milton's blank verse was a mistake, making for looseness and incorrectness, he borrowed lines and images from it, and in Bk. IV of The Life of Our Blessed Lord he incorporated a whole passage of Milton's blank verse in the midst of his heroic couplets.
Wesley's attitude toward Dryden deserves a moment's pause. In the "Essay on Heroic Poetry" he observed that a speech of Satan's in Paradise Lost is nearly equalled in Dryden's State of Innocence. Later in the same essay he credited a passage in Dryden's King Arthur with showing an improvement upon Tasso. There is no doubt as to his vast respect for the greatest living poet, but his remarks do not indicate that he ranked Dryden with Virgil, Tasso, or Milton; for he recognized as well as we that the power to embellish and to imitate successfully does not constitute the highest excellence in poetry. In the Epistle to a Friend he affirmed his admiration for Dryden's matchless style, his harmony, his lofty strains, his youthful fire, and even his wit--in the main, qualities of style and expression. But by 1700 Wesley had absorbed enough of the new puritanism that was rising in England to qualify his praise; now he deprecated the looseness and indecency of the poetry, and called upon the poet to repent. One other point calls for comment. Wesley's scheme for Christian machinery in the epic, as described in the "Essay on Heroic Poetry", is remarkably similar to Dryden's. Dryden's had appeared in the essay on satire prefaced to his translation of Juvenal, published late in October, 1692; Wesley's scheme appeared soon after June, 1693.
The Epistle to a Friend concerning Poetry is neither startling nor contemptible; it has, in fact, much more to say than the rhymed treatises on verse by Roscommon and Buckinghamshire. Its remarks on Genius are fresh, though tantalizing in their brevity, and it defends the Moderns with both neatness and energy. Much of its advice is cautious and commonplace--but such was the tradition of the poetical treatise on verse. Appearing within two years of Collier's first attack upon the stage, it reinforces some of that worthy's contentions, but we are not aware of its having had much effect.
This material was originally from the introduction of Augustan Reprint Society's edition of Epistle to a friend concerning poetry (1700) and the Essay on Heroic Poetry (second edition, 1697), volume 5 in the Augustan Reprint series, part of series 2, Essay on Poetry: No. 2, first printed in 1947. It was written by Edward Niles Hooker. It was published in the US without a copyright notice, which at the time meant it fell into the public domain.

Sheringham Carnival
There has been a Carnival in Sheringham since the fifties, although for a very short period it fell by the wayside. The present Carnival was re-started twenty-five years ago, and has grown with each successive year, and now provides a week of fun and entertainment for all the family, due to the willing band of volunteers that organise it.
This year there were some new events including a fun packed children's "Sleepytime Steam Train" ride to Holt, in addition to the ever popular street and duck races. And, with children in mind , sand castle building, tide fight and a treasure hunt are amongst other events planned. Back by popular request this year is the Torchlight Procession to watch the grand firework finale.
This year's event ran from August 3rd to August 11th 2013 with Raft Race day. Carnival procession took place on Wednesday August 7th. For all future details and photographs of previous carnivals, log onto the Carnival web site www.sheringhamcarnival.com

Reporters spoke to classmates who recalled Ciancia as a shy loner who may have been bullied.
Golden State agriculture workers say the union that was supposed to protect them has bullied them into a terrible contract.
I had trained myself not to go to the bathroom throughout my elementary and junior high school years, because I was bullied.
1530s, originally "sweetheart," applied to either sex, from Dutch boel "lover; brother," probably a diminutive of Middle Dutch broeder "brother" (cf. Middle High German buole "brother," source of German Buhle "lover;" see brother (n.)).
Meaning deteriorated 17c. through "fine fellow" and "blusterer" to "harasser of the weak" (1680s, from bully-ruffian, 1650s). Perhaps this was by influence of bull (n.1), but a connecting sense between "lover" and "ruffian" may be in "protector of a prostitute," which was one sense of bully (though not specifically attested until 1706). The expression meaning "worthy, jolly, admirable" (especially in 1864 U.S. slang bully for you!) is first attested 1680s, and preserves an earlier, positive sense of the word.
Excellent; good (1840s+)
: Bully for you! (1780s+)
A track worker; gandy dancer (1900+ Railroad)
[first two senses fr bully, ''a beloved person, darling,'' of obscure origin, attested fr 1538. Bully, ''worthy, admirable,'' used of persons, is attested in 1681]

The US Air Force intends to certificate its entire aircraft fleet to run on synthetic jet-fuel blend by 2011, and began on 8 August when the Boeing B-52H became the first to be approved.
The eight-engined bomber finished testing earlier this year with fuel produced from natural gas using the Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) process.
Each time the price of fuel goes up $10 a barrel, it costs the USAF $600 million, says air force secretary Michael Wynne. "It causes angst to know that we're faced with a commodity that some might use against us," he says, pointing to the potential of F-T to convert domestic coal and natural gas to jet fuel.
Shell Houston was recently awarded a contract to provide 1.1 million litres (290,000USgal) of the synthetic fuel, with some bound for NASA test centres. Interest is high in the F-T process, which uses heat, pressure and catalysts to convert carbon-based feedstock into fuel.
The next aircraft to be certificated for synthetic fuel will be the Boeing C-17. "This will be a bridge into the commercial arena," says Wynne, as the airlifter is powered by the same Pratt & Whitney PW2000s that power Boeing 757 airliners.
Afterburning engine tests on the Rockwell B-1 are scheduled for November, says William Anderson, assistant secretary of the air force for installations, environment and logistics.. "The air force will be prepared to award contracts for competitively priced, domestically produced, synthetic fuel following certification of the fleet in early 2011," he says.
The USAF plans to use a 50/50 blend with kerosene in all aircraft by 2016, calling for 1.5 billion litres of synthetic fuel each year. "We are not searching for suppliers at this time as there are no domestic suppliers," says Anderson.
A 10,000 barrel a day plant would require about a $1 billion investment, says Jack Holmes, chief executive of Syntroleum, the Oklahoma-based producer of the synthetic fuel used in the B-52 tests. "That's because of all the coal handling, the coal gasification, which is very expensive."
In July Syntroleum announced it had teamed with Tysons Foods to provide the USAF with 1,900 litres of jet fuel produced from chicken fat using a cheaper and greener method. Starting with animal fats eliminates the first stages of the process. "We can build a 5,000 barrel a day plant for $100 million and we think we can have it on line in less than two years," says Holmes.

MIAMI – October 14, 2012– U.S. corporate
treasurers, like the rest of the world, are in a wait-and-see mode and are not
yet deploying their cash reserves. In
fact, they are continuing to build cash reserves for their organizations,
according to the AFP Corporate
Cash Indicators™ (AFP CCI), a
quarterly study that measures recent and anticipated changes in U.S. corporate
cash balances. In this environment, companies
continued to build cash and short-term investment balances during the third
quarter of 2012.
Quarter-to-quarter, 40 percent of reporting
organizations had greater cash balances at the end of 3Q12 than they had at the
end of 2Q12. Meanwhile, 26 percent had
cut cash reserves.
The study, underwritten by State Street
Global Advisors, was released today at the AFP Annual Conference in Miami.
Companies reported that their investment
selection for cash and short-term investments had become neither more nor less
Year-over-year, cash hoarding increased,
with 40 percent holding greater balances at the end of 3Q12 than they had at
the end of the 3Q11.
Looking forward, the build out of cash
balances will slow slightly from current levels—33 percent of organizations
expect to build cash and short-term investment balances over the next three
months, while 21 percent plan to reduce these balances.
"This sidelined cash is withholding the
fuel for economic growth," said Jim Kaitz, AFP's president and CEO. "This is
the money that companies would use for new projects, expansion, R&D, and,
ultimately, job creation. Only when
uncertainty dissipates, confidence in the economy improves, and companies
release their cash will the job picture significantly improve."

those holdings changed in the last quarter; and whether they expect cash
holdings to increase or decrease in the coming quarter. For consistency, AFP
asks the same questions each quarter. AFP members have agreed to participate in
this ongoing study on a long-term basis.

The Leisure and Cultural Services Department will present concerts by the St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra in November.
Under the baton of Yuri Temirkanov, the orchestra will give an all-Russian performance of works by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Stravinsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Prokofiev and Shostakovich. Also performing in the concerts will be pianist Denis Matsuev who was the first-prize winner in the 11th International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1998.
"Russia's oldest symphony orchestra surpassed all expectations… the St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra spilled forth music in the purest form possible - straight from each score's soul and into the hearts of listeners." - The Washington Post
The St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra is Russia's oldest symphonic ensemble, founded in 1882. The orchestra premiered Tchaikovsky's Symphony No 6 "Pathetique" and under his baton shortly before his death. In a series of concerts titled "Orchestral Collections of New Music", the orchestra gave the first Russian performances of Richard Strauss' symphonic poems "Ein Heldenleben" and "Also sprach Zarathustra", Mahler's First Symphony, Bruckner's Ninth Symphony and Scriabin's "Poem of Ecstasy". Among the orchestra's conductors have been world renowned-musicians such as Richard Strauss, Arthur Nikisch, Alexander Glazunov and Serge Koussevitsky.
Yuri Temrikanov became the principal conductor in 1988. In just the last few years the orchestra has given several world premieres and opened the 2005-2006 Season at Carnegie Hall, the culmination of its performances in the world's most prestigious concert halls. During the same season, the orchestra went for the first time on an important tour of Siberia, to Irkutsk, Surgut and Khanty-Mansiysk, as well as the 2nd International Music Festival "Stars at Baikal". In 2007 the orchestra closed the 2nd Festival of World Symphony Orchestras in Moscow. The orchestra also visited the United States again with a major concert tour, including three performances at Carnegie Hall. It was the first Russian orchestra to perform in the opening concerts of the season at Carnegie Hall.

Backs figure into roster decisions
Bennett, Tolbert vying for final spots
With every run he makes, the decision becomes more difficult, the question more pressing.
Is Michael Bennett a luxury the Chargers can afford?
"I like Michael Bennett," head coach Norv Turner said after Saturday's game at Atlanta. "He's having a good training camp. He's shown he's got juice to make big plays. He's still got that burst."
Bennett on Saturday took a screen pass and ran 48 yards for a touchdown among his 106 total yards from scrimmage. He has a touchdown in all three preseason games and 59 yards on 18 carries. He has been good at picking up blitzes, he can catch, and he clearly still has more than a trace of the speed that made him the Minnesota Vikings' first-round pick in 2001.
"I've been given an opportunity to play and showcase what I can do," he said. "I'm definitely happy with it."
But it might not be enough to stay in San Diego, which Bennett earnestly says is his preference.
On a roster deep with backs and precious little space at the bottom, the Chargers' decision before the Sept. 5 final roster cuts will come down to keeping Bennett or fullback Mike Tolbert.
And that judgment will come down to how they feel best protected in the event of a catastrophe — an injury that would keep LaDainian Tomlinson out of a game or games.
With the Chargers not believing Darren Sproles is an every-down back, a scenario without Tomlinson would require them to look beyond their No. 2 tailback.
They will keep fourth-round pick Gartrell Johnson, because they like his potential. But they almost certainly won't want to hand him the ball 20 times or more in a game this season.
So Bennett's fate in San Diego comes down to whether the team's emergency plan at tailback is him or fullback Jacob Hester.
Hester was drafted in 2008 as a fullback/running back hybrid. He spent most of last season working at running back, but he's the starting fullback this year.
If they decide Hester is the fallback option, Tolbert will make the roster. In fact, Tolbert's ability on special teams is what makes this the likely outcome.
But Bennett is forcing them to think.
At 31 years old and about to begin his ninth season in the NFL, he has found a fountain of youth, a flash not apparent in the past three seasons spent bouncing from Kansas City to Tampa Bay before being claimed off waivers by the Chargers last November.
He says his legs are fresh (just 158 touches since 2006) and that reuniting with Chargers strength and conditioning coach Jeff Hurd was a blessing.
"I had him in Kansas City," Bennett said. "(Hurd is) a guy you're talking about that prepares players to be at their max — the speed training and lifting. Reconnecting with him really helped me."
The Chargers would be able to go with just Hester at fullback because they have tight ends Brandon Manumaleuna and Kris Wilson ready to work at fullback, if necessary.

Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was one of the most innovative and controversial artists of the early twentieth century. Influenced by European avant-garde movements represented in the annual Secession exhibitions, Klimt's mature style combines richly decorative surface patterning with complex symbolism and allegory, often with overtly erotic content. This work of art has the same emotions and beauty as the original. Why not grace your home with this reproduced masterpiece? It is sure to bring many admirers!
I ordered Monet's Artist's Garden at Giverny framed. The frame was excellent quality and the painting was as beautiful as the original, although I would have preferred that the paint be applied with a heavier hand. Shipping was prompt and packaging was bomb-proof. Thanks for a stunning piece for my home!Jane, New York
We'd like to get your feedback.

Phew, today was a day in the World Cup, huh. Belgium-Russia, meh. Algeria-Korea, whoah! And then the drama of USA-Portugal, well this has been a tournament to remember. I can't even remember what life was like before this World Cup began. Thankfully my sketchbook offers a glimpse into the pre-Brazil days of almost two weeks ago. On a hot, hot day in early June, I stood on 3rd St one lunchtime and sketched as quickly as I could. It was pushing a hundred degrees so I needed to finish up before I melted. This is Burgers and Brew on the corner of C St, a restaurant with a name that is designed to excite people in an 'ooh-Burgers-Beer-I-love-those-things-gotta eat there-then' type way (though in fact almost every restaurant in America specializes in burgers and brews these days it seems). I've only been here a couple of times, the last being about three or four years ago, and while I don't do burgers (at least not the red-meaty kind) I had some nice Belgian Kwak beer once. Not on this day however, this lunch hour was for sketching.This is in the landscape-format Stillman and Birn 'Alpha' book, sketched with brown uni-ball signo um-151 pen, with a watercolour wash added later.

bizarro world
Bizarro World, Davis. A comic shop that used to reside on 5th St, before moving into its present location on E St when Bogey's Books closed down. I prefer this location, and I've been there many times over the past four years, as opposed to the one time I went to the 5th St location in the preceding five years. Then again, I read a lot more comics now. I mean a LOT. Not all of them physical, mind, but I do buy a fair few paper comics from here (and also from Big Brother Comics in midtown Sacramento and Mission Comics in San Francisco, whenever I am there). See now I have an iPad and a subscription to Marvel Unlimited, so I can read all the Marvel backlog (I have read hundreds since signing up in January). I like this place's location though because it is right next to the pub. After a long day, it makes a lot of sense to buy a comic or graphic novel and pop inside De Vere's for a cold brew. Or University of Beer a block away. So on a very hot hundred-esque Saturday afternoon I stood outside and sketched my local comic shop, the sweat dripping off of me. While sketching, a bearded man on a bike stopped in the street and asked me a series of questions ("are you a painter, did you draw that, what building are you drawing, do you have an email"). I had to say, sorry I can't really chat, I am up against the time a little here, because it really was hot and I wanted to get finished and get inside. But then about fifteen minutes later another guy on a bike, this time with a moustache, stopped and asked exactly the same questions. It was, as they say, bizarre (if not quite bizarro, which as we all know means something else entirely) I'm starting to wonder whether they were in fact the same person in different disguises. I've had odd people come up and say odd things on E St before while sketching so it's not beyond the realms of possibility. Perhaps I read too many comics? Nah, if that were true I'd believe it was Loki, out to trick me. I finished up all the penwork, the only colour added on site being the red pen, before cooling off with a beer in De Vere's and finishing the paint at home. I did get a comic too, the Thanos annual, by Jim Starlin. Pretty good it is too.
Incidentally this framed drawing is currently for sale at Art-Is-Davis (222 D St, Davis) until July 6th…
the red victorian
The rain came down in San Francisco, but I took a bus up to the Haight. It has been years since I was in this part of San Francisco, and I had forgotten how many amazing old colourful buildings there are to sketch around here. And hippies too, can't forget the hippies, there are still lots of hippies. I walked about looking for a good dry spot to sketch from, and settled on a spot across the street from the historic Red Victorian, an old hotel and arts cafe, and a mainstay of "Peace, Man" San Francisco. I've always liked this building. There is the Peaceful World Cafe, they hold Peaceful World Conversations, and there's also a Living Peace Museum. I must say, stood sheltered form the rain as I was, I felt pretty peaceful sketching it too (apart from one odd 'crunchy' guy making incomprehensible comments every time he shuffled past, but you get that when you're out and about). You can find out more about the Red Vic and its owner, founder and artist in residence Sami Sunchild here: http://www.redvic.com/. Oh and here's the map from my sketchbook.
This is Mrak Hall. That's "MRAK", my dear autocorrect, not "Mark". It is a big solid looking building on the UC Davis campus, the place where the administration sit, and make all the rules and policies we have to follow. I have sketched it before but not in a long while. I come here often to drop off paperwork and turn up a day early for meetings (doh!). In front there, on those two little hillocks ("HILLOCKS", dear auto-correct…) are two of Robert Arneson's Eggheads. This is called "See No Evil, Hear No Evil", which was obviously named after a hilarious movie with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. The last time I drew them, they were located in a slightly different place, in fact they were pretty much where I sat to draw this picture. I sat on the steps of King Hall, whose extension forced the eggheads to move to the middle of the roundabout in 2009. In fact my last sketch is below, from 2007. That long ago?
barn again
"The Barn". There are a lot of buildings that look like this on the UC Davis campus, but this is the only one actually called "The Barn". It was a rainy day (not been too many of those), but there was a brief spot of calm so I was able to sketch this at lunchtime. I added the colour when I got home. It was one of those days where I really needed to get away and sketch something (ah now there have been many of those lately); I've felt a bit stressed lately, feel like there's a lot on my plate, many "to-dos" to check off my list. When I am out sketching, I'm in control of something, and everything else washes away, for a short time. I like being busy though. I have sketched this Barn once before (from the rear, almost exactly two years ago), but it looks like so many others. These old wooden campus buildings that I have drawn over and over so many times, they start to feel like my Mont St Victoire if you know what I mean, Cezanne's main subject, covered and covered and covered again over the years. This one is actually shaped a bit like Mont St Victoire, in fact. I should know, I have climbed up the thing twice (the Mont, not the Barn).
barn of bikes
Another of those wooden campus buildings; in fact this is the same building as in the last post, just seen from the other side. This is the UC Davis Bike Barn, which yes I have sketched many times. I did this on Friday lunchtime; the ink anyhow, I added the colour later on. All of those boxes in the foreground were moved away right after I sketched them, so I'm glad I drew them, they add something. Davis loves its bikes. The U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame is here in Davis, and this really is a great place to be a cyclist. I commute to work each day on my bike, and laugh at those who drive and pay loads of parking. I muts admit though I don't like drawing bikes, especially when there are loads all parked together outside a building – quite common here in Davis. But I like drawing the Bike Barn.
three years later
One thing about sketching UC Davis for such a long time now is that you get to see how buildings change, if not necessarily in appearance, certainly in name. The last time I sketched this building was in March 2011, three years ago if you do the math (sorry, I mean, do the maths), when there was also pink blossom on that tree. Back then, it was the Cross-Cultural Center. I seem to recall it was empty for a while, but used by some student groups in an unofficial capacity. These days it is known as the Educational Opportunity Program Information Office Building Type Thing Place, which admittedly is a long name. Spring in Davis, weather in the upper 70s and low 80s, last opportunities to draw those tree shadows on buildings.
While sketching this, I was listening to a podcast about Hadrian's Wall. I have been listening to Melvynn Bragg's "In Our Time" series of podcasts, which go back more than a decade and cover a wide range of topics from history to science to culture, and so on. Highly enjoyable listening while you sketch. I did however have to stop and finish this off at home, but I did about 90% of the penwork (added some of the detailing later) on site and coloured it in at home while watching, well, the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Netflix. From one Empire to another.

Four Photos from the Fourth
The weather cleared, and we had a perfect night to celebrate America's Independence Day on July 4th in Salem. Here are four of our favorite photos. If you have a great photo to share from the Fourth, tag us on social media (#destsalem or @destsalem) and tag #SalemMA. You can always email it, too!
These photos each link to the photographer's Facebook page, so do click through for more information!
Everything you need to know about celebrating July 4th in Salem
Salem loves Independence Day, and since 2000 we have celebrated it in style with the Hillyer Festival Orchestra and a fantastic fireworks display, all staged over our National Historic Site at Derby Wharf. It is a glorious event, infused with patriotism and celebration and staged in one of the most historic locations in New England.
If you have joined us in the past, you know how well Salem Celebrates the Fourth, but you may not be aware of new safety measures being put in place this year. If you have not yet experienced the festivities on Derby Wharf, you are in for a treat. Newbie or seasoned patriots alike will want to read our tips for a safe and happy 4th in Salem. Click here for the complete safety advisory.
Arrive Early. The free (free!) Kids Space, presented by REMIX Church and the Salem YMCA, opens at 4:00 PM. Magic 106.7 is sending their street team this year, and the food vendors open at 4:00, as well.
Bring a blanket, your chairs, and your July 4th picnic, but please pack your things in clear plastic bags. There will be enhanced security this year, and Salem Police will be conducting random bag checks to ensure all of our safety.
Plan for traffic and some parking challenges. Beautiful weather and a Saturday holiday will likely combine for our biggest celebration to date. Derby Street will be closed to vehicular traffic from 4pm - 11pm. (See point 1: Arrive early.)
The opening band, LUX, will begin on the Main Stage at 5:00 PM. The Hillyer Festival Orchestra will begin with our opening ceremonies, including a color guard and the singing of the National Anthem, at 7:15 PM.
One of our favorite annual features of the program is the Armed Forces Salute, when we as a community have the opportunity to honor and appreciate our active military and veterans. We appreciate their service. This year will be especially dramatic, as the 104th Fighter Wing from Barnes Air National Guard Unit will be doing a Flyover.
There are restrooms at the National Park, and those will be supplemented with portable toilets.
The Fireworks are scheduled for 9:15 PM, and they will be accompanied by the Hillyer Festival Orchestra. For all of the people who come out for the fireworks, and just the fireworks, consider alternate viewing at Shetland Properties or Winter Island Maritime Park. Shetland is also providing overflow parking.
When it's all over, please pick up your trash (take only pictures, leave only footprints, please!) and be patient as you depart the Wharf. Drive safely, and have a happy weekend!

methods of combating the problem are increasingly limited by environmental concerns. Biogenetic synthesis can be used to incorporate appropriate functional groups, which may be designed to migrate to the surface of a protective coating, thereby controlling marine biofilm formation. Mechanistic understanding of bioadhesion is critically needed for control of fouling and biocorrosion and represents the critical input for this material design effort. Continued research into the mechanisms of bioadhesion is an area of opportunity.
Another area in which research at the interface of chemistry and biology is expected to have an impact is in the design of physical methods for fast genetic analysis. Combinatorial synthesis is making available arrays of materials for numerous applications, including coatings and films. However, the design of appropriate processes for synthesizing molecular arrays and physical methods for measurement and analysis of surface properties are lagging. Hence, a concerted effort in both synthetic methods research and research designed to exploit the atomiclevel characterization offered by the new forms of microscopy—scanning tunneling microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and near-field optical microscopy—is timely. These techniques will lead to new, robust, and fast analytical methods.
New biomaterials are needed in applications such as wound healing, bone replacement, and controlled delivery of biologically active species. Biomolecular chemistry is poised to have a significant impact on the availability of biocompatible materials. It is important to know that current biomaterials have not been designed for such uses but have been chosen empirically from materials developed for nonbiological uses. In some cases this empirical approach has led to serious immunogenic complications. Understanding the fundamentals of biological performance at the molecular level will facilitate incorporation of biocompatible segments into synthetic systems for use in medical applications.

Squatting in foreclosed homes a problem in Ariz.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - A Texas man has recently become a celebrity writing an eBook about how to claim ownership of a home for about $16.
51-year-old Bill Robinson began living in an abandoned $340,000 home in Flower Mound, Texas, last June. The house had been in foreclosure for about a year. The previous owner moved out and the mortgage company has gone out of business. Robinson moved into the house, filed a $16 dollar filing fee with a court and claimed that he has the right to live in the place because of "Adverse Possession."
But Texas isn't the only state where this can happen.
Arizona mortgage expert Dean Wegner said it's possible for squatters to make a claim of Adverse Possession in Arizona.
"If they were on a piece of property for more than 10 years, it was visible [meaning they had filed a document with a court], they never had permission, they kept the property taxes current and there's no mortgage, they could actually win that property through Adverse Possession in our state and be granted that piece of real estate for no money out of pocket," he said.
Wegner said with the large number of foreclosures currently in Arizona, it's not unusual for real estate agents to have to deal with properties where squatters have taken up residence.
"I bet you can ask any realtor in Phoenix if they've ever shown a vacant home with signs that someone has actually lived in that property," said Wegner. "It's actually common."
Wegner said that it used to be that when a real estate encountered a squatter at one of their properties, they came back to the officer, excited, with a story to tell. Now, squatters are so common that they are rarely ever talked about in real estate offices.
ABC News said that the concept of "Adverse Possession" started in the 1800's as a way to make sure an abandoned property is maintained and monitored. It requires that a public notice is posted that someone is at the property and that someone will stay there for a period of time, usually about 10 years. After that time, whoever is in the house can claim title to the property. If the original owner or mortgage owner wants it back, they would have to fight it out in court.
Robinson promoted the practice through his ebook and his website. Another website, AdversePossession.com, said for a $39.95 fee, people can learn how to "aquire valuable real estate for free."
But Robinson is changing addresses. A Texas judge has ruled that Bank of America is the home's current lienholder, and the bank can kick him out of the property. Robinson told the Associated Press he has moved out of the house.

Hello Everyone
Hello- new guy here,
I found this website in a google search for "build an outdoor oven", and so far I love what I see.
2 winters ago I installed a wood burning insert into our fireplace opening- and have been hooked in using wood as fuel ever since. I am very lucky that the area I live in has lots of hardwood trees. I never cut down a tree just to burn it- I feel that would be a waste. All of the wood I burn comes from trees that were removed because of a hazard, diseased, struck by lightning- or some other damage. Most of these trees are cut down by the city street department, and they usually just cut them into 2 foot chunks or so- and leave the by the curb for one of their trucks to pick up. Since the wood is of no use to a sawmill when cut that short, I figure the best use is now firewood. I burn responsibly- I never burn unseasoned wood that would generate a lot of smoke and pollution. I always load the firebox for short, hot fires- and it always burns clean.
This past summer I have taken an interest in outdoor cooking. I have always enjoyed the occasional casual cook out, but I wanted to do something more- and for several reasons. I was tired of wasting energy heating up the house with the oven and stove, just to use more energy to try and cool it off at the same time. Also, I found that I could get some really great tasting foods using wood as a heat source vs. a gas oven and stove top. But mostly- I found it enjoyable. I am a purist of sorts, and this style of cooking just seems like the way it should be done.
The style of outdoor oven I originaly had in mind is something that would allow me to cook breads, meats- use some cast iron cookwear, maybe make soups and chilie or Paella. I know nothing about construction and the difference between different types of ovens- so it may be that not one oven will suit all these needs, but from what I've read so far- I think I have found the right place to learn
Thanks for all the good info!

Re: Hello Everyone
Hi Elektrobot and welcome aboard.
Like you, I fell upon this forum some months ago and have built myPompeii and thoroughly enjoy using it.
There are plenty of members willing to offer help and assitance with your queries and help source materials.
Good to see that you have a good source of wood, more than most of us. My woodcutter friend is 200km away and not ecconomical to travel that far, so I source it elsewhere. I used to run 4wd trips through our southern forests and was permitted to keep the timber that we removed from the tracks used for emergency vehicle access in fire season.
Prevention is better than cure, - do it right the first time!
The more I learn, the more I realise how little I know

Re: Hello Everyone
I think you will find the Pompeii design is a very versatile oven. Pizza, bread, roasted meats.
Kind of a jack-of-all-trades oven.
And remember, if you decide to build one, it will soon become an obsession.

Re: Hello Everyone
Hi Electrobot!
Welcome to the world of Pompeii oven builders and the BEST forum for all things 'Brick Oven Cooking' and most importantly 'Pizza Making'!
You WILL become obsessed and you WILL build an oven sooner or later!!!! If you have the space for one, there is no doubt in our (forum members) minds!
I've been reading posts on this site since it's been on Yahoo a few years ago! (And I AM currently building my 42" dome!)
Just think, if we can build millions of ovens in the USA and all over the world, we would constantly be using less fossil fuel throughout the world, thereby saving the environment in some way! Wood is a renewable resource and adds less pollutants to the air than fossil fuels! (ok I MAY have just made up that last thing but I'm not really sure! ) AND, the food tastes awesome!
Anyways, Save the world, build an oven!

The best set of pop music lessons ever
Lesson Ideas to Influence Popular Music
I have been working with a music professional for a few years and together we try to find ways to holistically weave student's voices and perceptions into the pop culture. Rather than using the music of others, we communicate to the world in a professional way. Often times we as teacher only communicate top down and we don't fully use all the avenues we interface with in both directions.
Guided imagery writing and drawing
I play various instrumental music from around the world and students write down their perceptions of the culture based on the music. We then discuss the culture that the music came from and compare our perceptions against socialogical studies. I will use musically guided imagery to have students visualize the music as they understand the principles and elements of design and they look for the same compositional elements within the music.
Popular Music visual art perception
Students will look at various art slides, research the artist, time period, and other information about the symbolism of the artwork and find a song that best represents their perception of the artwork. Students write 1 page to defend their position.
When did popular music begin?
Students write down a definition of popular music. Students then pick a date when they believe popular music began. Students research their view point against popular media sources and create debate teams for final debate. Video tape debate and publish.
What is a good teacher?
Students find one peer-reviewed article about effective teaching practices. Students review a movie with a teacher in it. Students compare the movie to their peer-reviewed article on teaching. Students publish their perspective on good teaching in a student publication or via the web in some media.
Music Review
Students take their favorite song and find the beat and the various themes. Students will remix the song by isolating the various themes and create a new drum track to the correct beat. Students will record a song or rap about their perception of today's music.
Women in Music
Students start by reading universal declaration of women's rights. Students are broken into 3 person groups and are assigned non-western areas of the world. Students have to research women's involvement in popular music and culture in their given country or culture. Create a presentation video with music from that area of the world and post via the web.
Students break into video production teams and create lists of questions on censorship. Groups will interview various people in and outside of school about their perceptions on censorship. Half of the students have to edit their video to make it look like people like censorship and the other half of students have to edit their videos to make it look like people hate censorship. Show the videos to more people and get their reactions. Show in class and discuss.
American Idol Assignment.
5 pts everyday students don't watch American Idol and journal about what happens in reaction to not participating in this pop-culture phenomena.

Grovetown and Greenbrier ran into some good wrestling competition Tuesday night.
Cross Creek and Richmond Academy joined the Columbia County teams Tuesday night at the Grovetown quad wrestling meet.
Cross Creek was the night's big winner, beating Richmond 54-30, taking down Grovetown 42-30 and finishing off Greenbrier 48-24. But Greenbrier was right there with them, going 2-1.
"It was a rough night," said Greenbrier head coach Gralyn Harris. "I don't like to lose."
In the wake of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, President Barack Obama took to the airwaves a little after 8:30 p.m. Sunday night.
The intent was to bring words of comfort to a grieving community and to the nation, but the timing of his speech, broadcast across the major networks and cable outlets, enraged a certain demographic – mainly idiot-racist sports fans.
Here is the 2012 Columbia County All-County Football Team.
Columbia County Player of the Year
Tyler Roberson (senior/Augusta Christian)
Even with his wrestling headgear on, it's impossible to miss Grovetown High School's 120-pound wrestler Jessie Maya, who sports a red, black and blue mohawk.
It's been Maya's look since he started wrestling three years ago.
"It's just what I do when wrestling season comes," said Maya. "The rest of the year I grow it out. I trim it and wait for wrestling to start again."
Though he's played football and soccer since he was in third grade, he started wrestling to match a major change in his life.
Soccer matches
Lakeside High School plays host to the 13th Annual Jenny Clark Memorial High School Soccer matches Saturday at 2 p.m. The matches are open to all area soccer players who are high school graduates. A $25 donation gets a T-shirt and Fatz Cafe goodies, with all proceeds going to the Jenny Clark Scholarship fund. For information, call Carol Clark at (706) 284-3239; Tom Clark at (706) 825-9151 or e-mail email@example.com.

District Champs
Anyone wandering by the Augusta Christian football field Dec. 8 might have been confused by the contest taking place.
It was hurling.
The traditional Irish sport looks like lacrosse, but throws elements of baseball and hockey into the mix. The object of the game is to kick or knock the baseball-sized ball (sliothar) into the opponent's net (three points) or through the goalpost (one point) using a wooden axe-shaped stick (hurley) with a flat edge at the end.
With the high school basketball season in full swing, several girls and boys teams are off to hot starts.
Girls teams
Augusta Prep: The Lady Cavaliers maintained their perfect record by beating Augusta Christian 40-30 over the weekend. Amanda Murphy led the way with 19 points. Prep has not allowed more than 45 points in a game this season and has held seven of their nine opponents to less than 40.
With region play looming after the Christmas break, the Lakeside Panthers are starting to build momentum.
After starting the season 0-8, the Panthers won three in a row including Monday night's hard-fought 63-59 triumph over Jefferson County.
"I'm glad for the win," said head coach Jody Hilley, who took over as boys coach a week before the season started. "It's been a rough start, but we're kind of getting the season turned around."

Are You Hyperconnected … and Disconnected? The frenetic pace of modern life distracts us from a painful truth: we are disconnected from our DNA recipe, forged through the selection pressure of human evolution, to enjoy health, happiness, and peace of mind. Excessive noise, artificial light and digital stimulation overstress our nervous systems day and night in such a manner that we don't even realize the piece--or rather the peace--that's gone missing.
In The Primal Connection, Mark Sisson (author of the bestseller The Primal Blueprint) presents step-by-step guidelines to reconnect you with the hard-wiring of the human brain, trigger the release of feel-good hormones, and promote optimal gene expression. The Primal Connection is about setting your own daily pace, redefining your core values, and making time for play, thrilling adventures, quiet reflection, friends and family, and for optimal rest and rejuvenation--while still enjoying the comfort and convenience of modern life!
Mark Sisson, the leading voice in the Evolutionary Health movement and author of the bestsellerThe Primal Blueprint, extends the primal theme beyond the diet and exercise basics in this much anticipated sequel.The Primal Connection presents a comprehensive plan to overcome the flawed mentality and hectic pace of high-tech, modern life and reprogram your genes to become joyful, care-free, and at peace with the present. You'll make scientifically validated, highly intuitive connections across the board, emerging with a renewed appreciation for the simple pleasures of life and our most precious gifts of time, health, and love.
The connections are organized into 6 categories:
· Inner Dialogue: Reject self-doubt and gain mastery over your thoughts and actions by following the Ten Habits of Highly Successful Hunter-Gatherers.
· Body: Rediscover the pleasure of touch. Rethink footwear to cure foot and back pain; learn correct posture and biomechanics, maybe for the first time ever!
· Nature: Relieve stress at the biochemical level simply by immersing yourself in pleasant natural surroundings - anywhere, even if you are city-bound.
· Daily Rhythm: Prioritize healthful sleep habits, wholesome diversions, solitary downtime, and limit technology to remain focused, creative, and productive.
· Social: Withstand the pull of instant gratifications and narrow your social circle to honor real-life friends over Facebook. Build a supportive and nurturing tribe.
· Play: Rediscover your innate cravings for daily doses of spontaneous, physical fun! Finally understand the true meanings of pleasure and leisure.
The Primal Connection allows you to have it all; you'll honor your ancient genetic recipe for health while still enjoying the comfort and convenience of modern life.
Q&A with Mark
1. How does this book differ from The Primal Blueprint?
The Primal Blueprint focused on the ten lifestyle laws of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, with particular emphasis on what seem to be the most urgent and obvious life changing elements of the Evolutionary Health movement: eating primal foods and exercising in a manner aligned with optimal gene expression. The Primal Connection extends the primal theme to matters of the psyche and the disconnects inherent with high tech modern life and how to fix things.
2. What are the overarching themes of The Primal Connection?
You'll embrace three critical themes that will help you withstand the destructive forces of modern life. First, your genes expect certain inputs to make you healthy, strong, and happy. If you create a different experience--slamming junk food or blasting artificial light and digital stimulation after dark, you'll compromise long-term health, period. Your genes don't know, or care, whether the inputs they receive are health-promoting or health compromising, they are simply programmed to fight for homeostasis at all times. Drink a soda and your genes respond by prompting the release of insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. In this refrain, the development of type 2 diabetes from prolonged excessive insulin production, and the subsequent resistance of cells to respond to insulin, is not a genetic defect but an example of gene expression at work. Your genes will fight valiantly to moderate the wildly excessive intake of carbohydrates in the Standard American Diet by producing insulin until this genetic mechanism becomes utterly exhausted and a diabetic condition develops.
The second theme is that abundance and scarcity are often mismatched with our genetic expectations. For example, our ancestors had abundant leisure time and scarce material possessions. This is something our brains are still wired

Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II Clincher Tire - 700x25
Grand Prix 4000 - real professional stuff !
For the coloured GP 4000 tyres, the activated silica compound improves the handling at stability limits and gives great rolling resistance. The anti-tear formula in the rubber compound prevents tread brittleness while increasing mileage performance. Xirallic colours give your machine a look of stylish elegance.
The extra special thing about the GP 4000 and GP 4000S is their puncture protection made from Vectran liquid crystal fibres.
The patented Vectran Breaker reconciles the conflicting goals of low weight, low rolling resistance and top puncture and cut resistance in a fascinating manner. The Vectran fluid crystals fibres were developed for airbag systems in the automotive and aerospace industries. The material is extremly tear and cut resistant and is also flexible. It retains these properties even under constant stress - as opposed to Aramide.

The only thing is I wish the stars were a little brighter. I could have gone with the other pair of star socks the site had but decided on these.

Rated 3 out of 5 by lily from not as thick as I hoped It's not that these aren't nice socks, but I'm writing a review to let other potential buyers know these are definitely not thick socks. If I personally had known how thin they were, I would not have bought them and I feel like the product description didn't make it clear.

Warm Salad Of Saddle Of Hare Or Venison
|Hare saddle/Venison saddle
|8 Ounce (250 Grams)
|13 Clove (65 gm) (Large Cloves)
|Sunflower oil
|2 Tablespoon
|Mixed salad leaves
|8 Ounce (250 Grams)
|Walnut oil
|2 Tablespoon
|Walnut halves
|2 Ounce (60 Grams)
|Lemon juice
|2 Tablespoon
|White wine vinegar
|8 Teaspoon
Take the fillets from the saddle of hare and trim off all the membrane; if using venison do the same.
Cut 1 garlic clove in half and rub it over the meat.
Simmer the remaining 12 whole, unpeeled garlic cloves in a little water until they are very soft, almost translucent-looking, which may take as long as 45 minutes.
Saute the fillets in the sunflower oil for about 5 minutes and then put to one side to rest for 5 minutes in a warm place.
Select mostly salad leaves which are slightly tougher and more bitter, and which will not wilt when warmed, such as red radicchio, curly endive, watercress leaves, Belgian endive, oak-leaf lettuce.
Some sweet lambs' lettuce and some cos lettuce are both worthwhile additions.
Essentially, you should go for contrast of colour and texture.
The leaves should be washed, well dried and torn into medium-sized pieces.
Arrange in low mounds on flat plates and keep cool.
Add the walnut oil to the pan and lightly brown the walnut halves.
Slice the fillets thinly and arrange on top of the salads.
Quickly add the garlic cloves, lemon juice and vinegar to the pan.
Heat through, then spoon this dressing evenly over the hare and salad, and serve.

The Organs of J. S. Bach
A Handbook
An expansive tour of the instruments that Bach knew
The Organs of J. S. Bach is a comprehensive and fascinating guide to the organs encountered by Bach throughout Germany in his roles as organist, concert artist, examiner, teacher, and visitor. Newly revised and updated, the book's entries are listed alphabetically by geographical location, from Arnstadt to Zschortau, providing an easy-to-reference overview.
Includes detailed organ-specific information:
--High-quality color photographs
--Each instrument's history, its connection to Bach, and its disposition as Bach would have known it
--Architectural histories of the churches housing the instruments
--Identification of church organists
Lynn Edwards Butler's graceful translation of Christoph Wolff and Markus Zepf's volume incorporates new research and many corrections and updates to the original German edition. Bibliographical references are updated to include English-language sources, and the translation includes an expanded essay by Christoph Wolff on Bach as organist, organ composer, and organ expert.
The volume includes maps, a timeline of organ-related events, transcriptions of Bach's organ reports, a guide to examining organs attributed to Saxony's most famous organ builder Gottfried Silbermann, and biographical information on organ builders.
Publication of this volume is supported by the American Bach Society.
"Replete with organ specifications, high-quality photographs, and lists of bibliographic sources. Highly recommended."--Choice
"Elegant and readily portable as 'a travel companion for the suitcase.'"--American Record Guide
"We now have an English translation of the most comprehensive study of the Bach organs. This is a vital resource that will enrich the lives of many, and it provides an enlightening and exciting venture into the Bach realm."--Jack Mitchener, Oberlin College
"An easily readable and usable collection of information about organs related to Bach. This elegant and accurate translation fills a clear and present need for scholars, organists, musicologists, and the interested general public."--Joel Speerstra, author of Bach and the Pedal Clavichord: An Organist's Guide
Publication of this volume is supported by the American Bach Society

WNR2000 v4 no wired connection
I picked up an N300 (WNR2000 v4) router about a week ago. It had been working perfectly fine until this weekend, and all the wired ports stopped working for some reason. It came with the V18.104.22.168 firmware and promptly asked me to upgrade to the V126.96.36.199 firmware as I was setting it up. The wireless still functions perfectly and provides much more bandwidth than the old WRTG54 I had been using prior to purchasing this modem.
The lights on the LAN ports show green for the three devices plugged in, and I can see the activity lights blinking away when I examine the NICs on the cable connected devices. When I check the LAN settings on the computers (Win XP, Mac 0S X, Win 8), though, they always seem to show disconnected or a 169.x.x.x address, so they clearly aren't getting a valid IP (192.x.x.x) from the router. Nothing is showing up underneath the 'Wired Devices' section of the Attach devices page either. The LAN settings have not been changed and the 'Use Router as DHCP Server' option is checked, so the wired devices aren't just lack an IP.
I've tried powercycling the modem several times, but that has not yielded anything. I tried manually assigning IP addresses to the laptops along with my normal DNS servers and the router as the Default Gateway, but I'm not even able to ping the router once set up. I followed the instructions to perform a factory reset on router when I had about 30 minutes or so to sit down and look at the problem. The router successfully reverted back to the factory settings for the SSID and passkey. That didn't do anything to fix the situation either. The wireless devices were still able to connect perfectly, so I changed the SSID and passkey back to my preferred settings.
Are there any other obvious steps I'm missing that aren't in the owners manual? Is there a similar option/switch to turn off the LAN ports like there is for the WLAN radio? I've done everything short of downgrading the firmware, which I don't even know if it's possible to do, to see if that will work. I might try that when I have a bit more spare time and can afford to lose the internet for a bit.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
LUGOD is in need of a new sign (for putting up at our booth/table at
events, such as the Yolo County Child Dev. Conf. in April, and
Whole Earth Festival in May).
Someone suggested checking Kinkos. I did that today, and for a
non-laminated [do we want/need laminated?] vinyl sign, it costs
$9 per square foot.
The person I spoke to said it has to be at least 40" wide
(which is only slightly wider than the 3' we were thinking of),
and it sounded like there was no minimum size requirement for height.
They would print full-color; all we'd need to do is supply them
with a digital image file. (We have the LUGOD watertower logo at
ridiculously huge resolution, so it's just a matter of adding some
text to the right of it, which we can do easily with The Gimp or
So if we got something at 40" x 18", that'd come out to 5 sq ft,
or $45. (Presumably plus some tax.)
I mentioned this to Henry, and he seems to think it's not
a totally unreasonable price.
Would anyone out here like to take a crack at making art for
the sign? Or do you all trust me to come up with something
(it'd be nice and basic)?
