Batu Caves
Time Out says
Posted: Wed May 22 2013
Batu Caves is a limestone hill, which has a series of caves and cave temples, located in Gombak district, 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Made up of three main caves and several small ones, the "Temple Cave" or "Cathedral Cave" is the best known of the caves.
The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India, dedicated to Lord Murugan. It is the focal point of Hindu festival of Thaipusam in Malaysia. To reach to the temple cave, you must make your way up a tedious 272 rock stairs. Do watch out for monkeys.

Volleyball Wins School-Record 7th ACC Match
Nov. 13, 2011
Photo Gallery | Final Stats | Box Score
RALEIGH, N.C. - NC State's volleyball team set a school record with its seventh ACC victory of the season with a decisive 3-0 win over Georgia Tech on Sunday afternoon at Reynolds Coliseum.
In a televised match on the ACC Regional Sports Network, the Wolfpack (19-11 overall, 7-10 ACC) never trailed in the opening set and maintained comfortable leads in the other two, as the team sizzled with a .356 hitting average for the match.
"After all the long matches we've had this season, it was nice to be able to win a quick one," said second-year NC State coach Bryan Bunn. "We came out really focused in the opening set and maintained that throughout the match.
"I'm proud of the way we played."
Prior to the match, seniors Kelly Wood, Margaret Salata, Luciana Shafer and Becah Fogle were honored for their contributions to the program. Salata responded with 12 kills and 16.5 points, while Wood became NC State's all-time career leader in digs, posting 16 for match.
Wood now has a total of 1,769 after breaking the record set by Jennifer Peterson from 1994-97.
"It means so much for them to perform like this in front of our home crowd," Bunn said. "They have all worked so hard over the last two years to build the foundation of our program. I appreciate what they've all contributed during their time here."
The Wolfpack jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the opening set and never trailed en route to a 25-16 victory. The Pack had a blistering .357 hitting average in the set, led by Salata's perfect 3-for-3 on attacks. Tech had just a .111 hitting percentage.
The second set was closer, with Georgia Tech (15-13, 8-9) fighting back to take two leads. With the match tied 19-19, Salata took charge. She had seven kills and eight points in the second set and freshman Dariyan Hopper scored the final point in a 25-22 win. The Pack continued to sizzle with a .300 hitting average, while Georgia Tech improved to .250.
The Jackets scored the first point of the third set, but the Wolfpack grabbed the lead by scoring four in a row and maintained a lead throughout much of the rest of the set.
As a team, the Wolfpack had 11 blocks, led by Salata with seven. The Yellow Jackets, however, failed to record a block in the match.
Both Salata and freshman Dariyan Hopper had 12 kills for the Pack. Tech's Monique Mead led all players with 15 kills and 16 points.
With 19 wins on the season, the Pack now has its most total victories since the 1996 team posted a 21-16 overall mark. The seven ACC wins surpasses the school mark set in 1983 (6-1), '86 (6-1), '88 (6-0) and '95 (6-8).
The Wolfpack will play its final two road matches of the season this weekend, traveling to Virginia in Charlottesville on Friday at 7 p.m. and playing Virginia Tech in Blacksburg on Saturday at 6 p.m. The Wolfpack lost a 2-3 decision to the Hokies in Raleigh on Oct. 14 and a 1-3 decision to the Cavaliers the next night.
The Pack's final home match is slated for Wednesday, Nov. 23, against North Carolina in Reynolds Coliseum. Admission to the season-finale match is free for all fans.
"We are looking forward to finishing strong," Bunn said.

Since 2009, the Danube Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) team has been testing PES schemes in four pilot areas in the Lower Danube Basin -- in Bulgaria and Romania.
We established four sustainable financing schemes to enhance and protect the benefits we all get from nature. The schemes are tailor-made for each specific case and link the economic benefits from the pilot sites to their users.
Throughout the project, we worked in close collaboration with local partners and national institutions and acknowledge with gratitude their support.
We are now happy to share with you our experience. We developed a report for each scheme to show each step of our work. We hope they will be of relevance to practicioners and decision-makers who want to explore sustainable financing and PES.

With so many shocking twists and turns, VH1's primetime lineup kept us on the edge of our seats all week long. On Love & Hip Hop The Reunion (Part 2), Amina dropped a pregnancy bombshell that sent Peter Gunz into an emotional tailspin while on Single Ladies, Naomi threatened Malcolm with information that could put him and his company in big trouble.
On Couples Therapy, the couples urged Jon to stand up for himself in his relationship with Liz while on Mob Wives: New Blood the saga of Natalie and Renee continued when Natalie tweeted some offensive statements towards Renee. Check out the highlights from this past week on VH1.
Love & Hip Hop: Amina Drops A Pregnancy Bombshell
From the premiere episode of Season 4, the relationship between Peter Gunz and Amina has been a shocking roller coaster adventure to say the least (in the words of host Mo'Nique). Earlier this season we saw Amina reach deep into her bra and pull out an ID to prove to Tara (along with every Love & Hip Hop viewer), that she was the real Mrs. Pankey. In a similar fashion, on this week's reunion show Amina pulled a pregnancy test out of her bra and shocked Peter by announcing her pregnancy. Unfortunately, Peter Gunz did not seem happy about this news. Now we're left with just 2 questions – Will this couple stay together to work out their relationship? And what else is hiding in Amina's bra?!

Retailer commits to buy 70 percent of the goods sold in U.S. stores and in U.S. Sam's Clubs from suppliers who use the Sustainability Index
As someone who has now spent years watching the Walmart supply chain sustainability initiative evolve in fits and starts, I can understand those who have begun to doubt that it's ever really going to drive significant change in the environmental impact of the products it puts on its shelves. I also understand the frustration suppliers have voiced over this period that, despite an avalanche of public announcements and corporate commitments, there really has never been a clear path to success; one in which the environmental evaluation of a product might influence the decision making of buyers and reward the high performing supplier. Overall, it seems that there has been a creeping sense that the initiative, in its various incarnations, was long on promises but short on follow through.
After the rollout this summer of the Supplier Sustainability Index and this week's Walmart meeting in Beijing, some of those attitudes, including mine, might be changing. The gathering on Wednesday, led by CEO Mike Duke and members of the Sustainability Team presented further details on a program that may prove to be the beginning of a very significant shift in how the retail giant works with both its buyers and suppliers to meet the lofty goals it has set.
One pivotal announcement was that U.S. based Walmart and Sam's Club stores are now in the process of making sure that no less than 70% of the goods they sell come from suppliers who are responding to the Sustainability Index. This Index, recently developed in conjunction with The Sustainability Consortium, is actually a highly varied series of category-specific questionnaires designed to identify the most relevant environmental impacts of products across hundreds of different categories. Walmart and Sam's have already released the Index to over 100 different categories made up of over 500 unique suppliers and, true to Walmart form, have requested nearly immediate responses from these companies. The goal is to release the Index to over 100 additional categories in 2013.
One sign of how seriously Walmart is taking this initiative is not only the short timeline for compliance, but also the speed with which they have begun sending out evaluations to suppliers who have either completed, or not completed, their responses. Many suppliers I have spoken with have been surprised, both by the fact that they have already received documents evaluating their environmental performance but also that these evaluations arrived with benchmarks for how their products stacked up against competitor products in their category. The speed and responsiveness of Walmart's team around this process in the first wave of target categories or "batches," has led many suppliers to begin taking a hard look at their own performance and that of competitive brands, understanding that the next step, buyer meetings in which this information will be reviewed, is right around the corner.
To apparently convince both Walmart employees and the rest of the world how seriously they are taking the initiative, this April, Mike Duke announced a new program in which buyers in U.S. Walmart and Sam's Clubs will have specific sustainability objectives added to their annual evaluations. This is a significant evolution in a process which has often been criticized for lacking teeth. For the first time we are seeing evaluations happening on both the supplier and buyer level, with clearly identified rewards for each participant in the process.
What remains to be seen is how effectively suppliers will be able to manage this sometimes daunting process of reporting their sustainability performance through the Index as well as how effectively the buying group will be able to employ this information in the purchasing process. For now, many of us will wait and see what kind of progress Walmart is able to achieve with the Index in 2013, but it seems that the retail giant may be making good on its promise to bring more sustainable products to its customers and that this promise may come true sooner than most of us had ever expected.
Aran Rice is Vice President of Sales Operations for Renewable Choice.

Hours after President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, visited Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) at an Arizona hospital, the commander-in-chief delivered a speech on Jan. 12 at a memorial event in Tucson.
Obama reported that Giffords' husband, NASA astronaut Mark Kelly, said that the 40-year-old lawmaker opened her eyes shortly following the President's visit. It was the first time she had opened her eyes since the Jan. 8 shooting, which left six dead and 14 wounded.
The President also eulogized each victim who was killed, then cautioned Americans about the dangers of politicizing the tragedy. He indicated that the gunman alone — and no political movement — should be blamed for the shooting.
"At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized — at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who think differently than we do — it's important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds," said Obama, quoted by CNN.
Obama's speech has been praised by members of both political parties. For example, Rich Lowry of the conservative magazine National Review said that the President "recaptured some of the tone of his famous 2004 convention speech." Lowry said that Obama rose above the liberal finger-pointing by asking for civility in the wake of tragedy.

At All Aces Services, we use a specialised rug cleaning process, depending on what type of rug that you have. Although we have an on-site hot water extraction for some rugs, we also have a more thorough service for your delicate and more valuable rugs. For this service, your rugs will be delivered to our Rug Cleaning Facility, where we have the equipment to give these more fragile rugs a thorough cleaning, guaranteed not to shrink them, or warp their shape.

Along with the knowledge of our extensive experience, you also have our guarantee, "If it is not the most thorough rug cleaning that you have ever seen, it's 100% free!"
Not only is All Aces Services certified through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), we are also a Woolsafe Australia approved company. It was established in 1972 to provide a way for professionals to become certified after receiving industry training. They have been in operation in Australia and New Zealand since the 1990's. The Woolsafe organisation is a place where information and advice about carpet and rug care can be found. Resources for rug and carpet owners to find services which will supply their carpets, and fill their carpet cleaning needs are also available.
Not only do we have the rug cleaners who have been certified through the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration, but also have a Master Rug Cleaner, who are certified through the Master Rug Cleaner program.

Our one-of-a-kind rug cleaning facility is located at Unit 4, 8 Ives Street (Corner of Creek Road), Murarrie 4172. We can pick up your rugs from Noosa to Northwestern NSW, and will have your item returned to you within one week. If the customer prefers, they can drop off and pick up their rugs Monday through Friday from 7:30 am, until 5pm. Saturday pickup and drop offs are by appointment only. It is much safer and better for your rug, to have us clean it at our facility. Here are some of the issues which can occur when the rug is cleaned in your home:
- The stain could reappear.
- You could damage your floors underneath the rug. (hardwood, etc.)
- The rug could be left too wet.
- You do not have a drying room at home to safely remove the moisture from your rug.
- You cannot perform a gentle submersion wash.
- Without a rug badger, such as we have at the factory, you cannot remove all of the dry soil.
- Home carpet cleaners are not usually certified rug cleaners.
At All Aces Services, we are able to beat out any of the soil, which has been ground into your rug, at our Rug Cleaning Facility. We perform this service using the Rug Badger, which makes this possible for any rug. Having your rug at our facility also enables us to wash it as thoroughly as needed and even soak it, if necessary, for removing odours. Our factory contains the largest rug soaking and wash pit in Queensland. We also have a specialised Drying Room, which makes it possible for us to dry your rug much faster and safer than most facilities. This is yet one more reason that having your rug cleaned at our facility is better than doing so in your own home.
We can also wrap your rug for storage With Tyvek. Want to store your rug or ship it overseas why not have it wrapped in breathable Tyvek so your rug breathes and doesn't get damaged by carpet pest or mould.

Dark Sleekness: Gene's 2009 Nissan 370Z
What was your dream car when you were a kid? Some of our tastes have changed over the years but some have never deviated from their original dream. Gene has always admired the Nissan Z's. When he was in high school, he remembers wanting a Nissan 300zx so badly. One day, he attended a local Z car club meets and that's when it all started. He saw all the insanely built 350z's for both track and show purposes and was instantly hooked. It was then that he decided that it was time for him to get his first Z. Incidentally, it was right when Nissan first introduced the 370z into the market and people in the scene were starting to build them.
He picked up his black 370z and right then, he knew he made the right choice; especially with Z's looking so pure in black. When I first met Gene, I thought all he was going to do was slam it and put some wheels on it but he proved me wrong. A year later, the car had some major changes done to it both inside and out. New wheels, lip kit and some good stuff under the hood astounded me. Gene's Z currently puts down 404whp/340tq on a DynoJet and he only wants to make it faster. His plan next year is to finally get the car on a track and just go all out with it.
Gene's static ride height and Chicago roads don't really get along well but in spite of it all, he still drives the hell out of his car all over for car meets, events, and to simply just go for a cruise in the city at night.
His car is truly an inspiration for most as it is a reminder that our childhood dreams aren't always meant to stay as dreams, but you can actually turn them into reality.

Two Fallen Stars
In 1961, the Canadian pianist Glenn Gould canceled a scheduled appearance with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, claiming that he had developed a phobic reaction—in his words, "something approaching terror"—to the mere thought of playing in Philadelphia. He was replaced by a young virtuoso from Texas named Van Cliburn, who had himself become famous three years earlier after winning the Tchaikowsky Competition in Moscow. As Ormandy later wrote to Gould:
Perhaps it will give you a chuckle when I tell you that every time I talked to Van, for some psychological reason, I called him Glenn. The third time it happened, he said he didn't mind at all because he loved Glenn and he considered it an honor and a pleasure to be called by that name.
The idea that anyone, especially anyone in the music business, might have confused these two pianists is indeed comical. Cliburn, a natural performer whom audiences found irresistibly charismatic, favored the work of such romantic composers as Tchaikowsky and Rachmaninoff, which he played in a warm and expansive style. By contrast, Gould, a Bach specialist who hated performing in public—his cancellation of the concert in Philadelphia was no isolated event—was noted for his crisp incisive touch and brisk tempos.
But a closer look does reveal a number of common threads in the lives of the two best-known piano virtuosos of the postwar era. Both men had been child prodigies; both briefly tried their hand at conducting; both showed early promise as composers but failed to develop their talents. Most importantly, both suffered from deep-seated emotional problems that made it difficult for them to function in the public eye. Gould abandoned the concert stage in 1964, at the height of his fame, thereafter playing only in the recording studio until his death eighteen years later; Cliburn quit playing altogether in 1978, and though he returned to the stage in 1989, he no longer makes records or appears regularly in concert.
Born in 1934, Van Cliburn began playing piano at the age of three. Until he moved from Texas to New York in 1951 to study at the Juilliard School, his only teacher was his mother, Rildia Bee Cliburn, who had studied piano with Arthur Friedheim, a pupil of Franz Liszt. As a boy, then, Cliburn absorbed both the pianistic style and the musical tastes of the late 19th century, and his mature playing would reflect these early influences.
While at Juilliard, Cliburn studied with Rosina Lhévinne. This celebrated teacher was the widow of Josef Lhévinne, a Russian virtuoso whose few recordings are coveted by connoisseurs of Romantic piano playing. Under her tutelage, Cliburn perfected his distinctive style, in which the extravagant rhetoric of Russian Romanticism was subtly blended with American simplicity. Though he had a big technique, he favored relaxed tempos that allowed him to "sing" the melodies of the 19th-century works that made up the bulk of his repertoire. His tone was rich and resonant, and he played with a rubato that was flexible yet disciplined.
In 1954, Cliburn received the prestigious Leventritt award, given by a panel of judges that included the pianists Rudolf Serkin and Eugene Istomin, the conductors Leonard Bernstein and George Szell, and the violinist Alexander Schneider. "He is remarkable," said the usually acerbic Szell in a note passed to one of his colleagues during Cliburn's performance. "No philosopher, in spite of the soulful facial expressions, but he makes beautiful sounds. Extraordinary skill and projection." It was an apt summing-up of the attributes that would make Van Cliburn a star.
Winning the Leventritt launched Cliburn on his career as a major soloist, and he was already a fixture on the American concert circuit when he won the Tchaikowsky Competition in 1958. But it was the latter award that introduced him to the public at large, and set the tone for his subsequent career. Held at the height of the cold war, the Tchaikowsky Competition had given American musicians their first opportunity to perform in the Soviet Union. Cliburn's sweepingly Romantic playing stunned his Soviet listeners, who for all their musical sophistication knew little of the United States. Though Soviet officials tried to fix the outcome in favor of a Russian contestant, the pianist Sviatoslav Richter insisted that Cliburn receive the first prize, and the then-premier Nikita Khrushchev personally gave his approval.
What followed was unprecedented in the history of classical music: the twenty-three-year-old Cliburn became an international celebrity overnight. The New York Times had been publishing a series of front-page stories about the competition in progress; the climax was a four-column-wide article announcing Cliburn's victory. The following week, the pianist was featured on the cover of Time, and later he appeared on the popular TV programs Person to Person, The Tonight Show, and What's My Line? RCA signed him to an exclusive contract, rushing into print a recording of the Tchaikowsky First Concerto made within days of the pianist's triumphant return to the United States. It sold a million copies within two years, the first classical album ever to do so.1
Cliburn would become the most successful classical musician of his generation, in large part because of the attention lavished on him by the mass media, which consistently portrayed him as an "ail-American virtuoso" (the title of Time's cover story), a middlebrow hero whose unaffected modesty and gregarious demeanor made palatable the fact that he played piano instead of baseball. His physical appearance—he was 6-foot-4 and had a baby face and a shock of curly blond hair—enhanced the memorable impression he made on stage.
All this mass-media coverage had the effect of putting off many music critics, especially in New York. Cliburn's reviews, which had initially been enthusiastic, soon turned sour: by the mid-60's, it was commonplace to read that he was a shallow and superficial performer. This was deeply unfair. In fact, he ranked among the foremost pianists of the postwar era, and even in the late 70's, when his playing had grown erratic, he remained capable of giving compelling performances. Nor were his gifts confined to pianism. He was also a talented amateur composer, and after his return from the Soviet Union he studied conducting with Bruno Walter, subsequently making well-received guest appearances with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic.
But the critics, though wrong-headed, were on to something, for Cliburn had come too far, too fast. His repertoire, though more wide-ranging than generally acknowledged, consisted mainly of the music he had learned as a student, and the list of concertos and solo works he played regularly grew smaller by the year. "In music, no matter how familiar, there are no twice-told tales," he liked to say, but his ability to shed new light on such oft-played pieces as the Beethoven "Appassionata" Sonata or the Rachmaninoff Third Concerto was not unlimited, and his crowded schedule left little room for reflection or renewal. After 1964, significantly, he never again conducted in public, and so far as is known, he no longer composes.
Cliburn's personal problems also cast a shadow over his triumphs. Much was made by the press of the fact that he was a devout churchgoer who lived with his mother until her death in 1994. But nothing was said of his homosexuality, which, though long known among musicians, did not become public information until just two years ago, when he was sued for palimony by a former lover. His inability to reconcile his squeaky-clean image with the realities of his offstage life undoubtedly contributed to his increasing artistic uncertainty.
By the early 70's, Cliburn's live performances had become inconsistent, and major orchestras were reluctant to hire him as a soloist. Exhausted by two decades of touring, he stopped accepting new engagements in 1974, playing his last concert four years later; not until 1989 would he begin performing again, and then only on a limited basis. A 1994 American tour proved that while the sixty-year-old pianist was still capable of playing excitingly, his musical horizons had shrunk still further; Cliburn's repertoire for the seventeen-city tour consisted of the Tchaikowsky First and Rachmaninoff Third Concertos, plus a short group of solo pieces he had been playing since the mid-50's. Even his staunchest admirers were forced at last to admit that something had gone terribly wrong with the man whom the formidable music critic B. H. Haggin had once described as "one of the outstandingly, supremely great pianist-musicians of today, and not only of today."
Glenn Gould, Cliburn's senior by two years, also began playing piano at the age of three, and by 1945 he was performing regularly throughout Canada. Shunning the high-profile competition circuit, he made his American debut in 1955 in Washington, D.C., playing the Bach G-Major Partita, Beethoven's E-Major Sonata, Op. 109, and works by the 17th-century composers Orlando Gibbons and Jan Sweelinck and the 20th-century modernists Alban Berg and Anton Webern. It was by any standard a highly unorthodox program, but Paul Hume, who reviewed the concert for the Washington Post, found it spellbinding:
Glenn Gould is a pianist with rare gifts for the world. It must not delay hearing [him] and according him the honor and audience he deserves. We know of no other pianist like him of any age.
Nine days later, the twenty-two-year-old pianist repeated the program at New York's Town Hall for a tiny audience consisting mainly of other musicians who had heard about his Washington recital. David Oppenheim, a Columbia Records executive, attended the concert and immediately signed him to an exclusive contract; in June, he recorded Bach's "Goldberg" Variations, and the performance, which was released the following year, became a best-seller.2
The sheer originality of Gould's youthful playing, preserved on his 1955 version of the "Goldbergs" and the many other performances he recorded for Columbia while still in his twenties, continues to this day to astonish listeners. Unlike most pianists, he used a bare minimum of pedal, relying instead on his precise fingerwork to produce a clean, nonlegato sound reminiscent of a harpsichord. Though his tempos tended to be on the quick side, he was capable of playing slow movements with a sustained, trance-like intensity, the 25th variation of the "Goldbergs" is a particularly striking example of this quality of inwardness. Whether fast or slow, he played with an exhilarating forward thrust that was as irresistible in its way as Van Cliburn's expansive warmth.
But Gould, unlike his younger colleague, was idiosyncratic to the point of eccentricity, both on and off stage. He sang aloud to himself as he played, swayed in time to the music, "conducted" himself whenever he had a free hand, and used a specially-built folding chair that allowed him to sit much lower relative to the keyboard than other pianists. A lifelong hypochondriac, he wore gloves and heavy outer garments the year 'round, made regular use of sedatives and tranquilizers, and constantly consulted various doctors about a diverse assortment of symptoms, some real and others imagined.
These same mannerisms, however, were what was largely responsible for bringing Gould to the attention of the broader public, for Columbia's publicists used them to entice journalists into writing feature stories about him. Such stories led audiences to expect strange behavior from the pianist when he appeared in concert, and his neurotic temperament became as central to his media image as Cliburn's "all-American" persona was to his.
Paradoxically, Gould's bizarre mannerisms worked to conceal the agonizing discomfort that he experienced whenever he played in public. As I have already noted, he canceled concerts often, and nine years after his American debut he withdrew altogether from public performance, convinced that he could make a living solely by making records and playing on radio and TV. His decision provided still more grist for the media mill, and by the early 70's the pianist had acquired a cult-like following of admirers, especially in his native Canada, where he was virtually the only resident classical musician to have a major career.
An intellectual manqué who (in the words again of B. H. Haggin) preferred "talking nonsense on anything anywhere to playing the piano marvelously in the concert hall," Gould published numerous articles in which he constructed an elaborate skein of philosophical rationalizations for what essentially amounted to a paralyzing case of stage fright. He insisted that performing before audiences forced him to distort the music in order to "try to project it to that man up there in the top balcony." Actually, though, recordings made at his concerts suggest the opposite. "In a way," the pianist Andràs Schiff has said, "they are infinitely more beautiful than his studio recordings, wonderful."3
The self-imposed isolation of Gould's later years heightened the stylistic eccentricities already evident in his recordings, the most common being the weirdly arbitrary extremes of tempo in which he regularly indulged. Some of these eccentricities can be explained by the narrowness of his musical tastes. As he himself said, he disliked most piano music composed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries:
I don't think any of the early Romantic composers knew how to write for the piano. Oh, they knew how to use the pedal, and how to make dramatic effects, splashing notes in every direction, but there's very little real composing going on. The music of that era is full of empty theatrical gestures, full of exhibitionism, and it has a worldly, hedonistic quality that simply turns me off.
But once Gould had finished recording Bach's keyboard music for Columbia, he was faced with the problem of finding new works to commit to disk. Since his post-retirement income derived principally from album sales, he was under considerable pressure to perform a repertoire more accessible than the modern music that he loved. This seems to have been the main reason why he devoted so much time and energy to the piano sonatas of Mozart and Beethoven, most of which he played with brutal insensitivity.
Perhaps inevitably, Gould began to lose interest in the piano and its literature as he grew older. As a young man, he had briefly sought to express himself through composing, producing an uneven but interesting string quartet. In middle age, he considered taking up conducting, making a fascinating recording of Wagner's Siegfried Idyll in which he led a group of players drawn from the Toronto Symphony.4 But the second career he envisioned never came to pass: in 1982 he died of a stroke, three weeks after recording the Siegfried Idyll and nine days after his fiftieth birthday.
Historically speaking, perhaps the chief significance of Van Cliburn and Glenn Gould was that they were the first postwar classical instrumentalists to achieve international celebrity via the mass media. Already successful in their mid-twenties, they soon became full-fledged superstars whose names were known not only to musicians and music lovers but also to the general public. It is, of course, impossible to know whether they might have had more normal careers had they become famous later in their lives. But there can be little doubt that their existing psychological problems were exacerbated by the pressure of early acclaim driven by the imperatives of mass-media publicity.
Today, four decades after Cliburn appeared on the cover of Time, those imperatives have become more compelling than ever. The classical-recording industry, undermined by years of shrinking market share, is in the process of reinventing itself along media-driven lines. Young artists are being signed not for the excellence of their musicianship but for having personalities regarded as "marketable" to young listeners. Whether or not this will yield the profits necessary to turn around an ailing industry—I personally doubt it—the broken careers of Cliburn and Gould powerfully suggest the price to be paid by such practices in terms of artistic health and seriousness.
In the meantime, however, the legacy of these two virtuosos also reminds us of the great potential that inhered in North American piano playing in the early postwar decades. It is true that Cliburn's near-complete lack of curiosity about the piano literature proved to be the weak link in his artistry, and his influence on the next generation of American concert pianists, many of whom drew from his career the understandable conclusion that the road to riches lay in playing Rachmaninoff and Tchaikowsky on the competition circuit, has been quite negative. Gould, by contrast, did far less to shape the tastes of younger artists, though the fact that so many pianists now program Bach as a matter of course, in spite of the increasingly powerful influence of the period-instrument movement, is due almost entirely to his example.
With all their flaws, however, and despite their tragic inability to cope with the insatiable demands of the publicity machine that made them famous, Cliburn and Gould remain indisputably major artists who in the long run will be remembered for one reason only: because they played so individually and so compellingly. And since both men made commercial recordings of virtually the whole of their working repertoires, it will remain possible for listeners of the future to hear at their best—and at their worst—these two outstanding figures of a gifted generation.
1 Cliburn's 1958 recording of the Tchaikowsky Piano Concerto has remained continuously in print ever since its initial release (RCA 07863-55912-2). Among the best of his other recordings are a live performance of the Rachmaninoff Third Concerto from a Carnegie Hall concert given immediately after his return from the Soviet Union (RCA 6209-2-RC); the Rachmaninoff Second Sonata, recorded live in 1960 at a Moscow concert (RCA 7941-2-RG); My Favorite Chopin, a 1961 solo recital including the F-Minor Fantasie, Op. 49 (RCA 09026-68813-2); Beethoven's Fourth and Fifth Concertos, recorded in 1961 and 1963 with Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony (RCA 7943-2-RG); Chopin's Second and Third Sonatas, recorded in 1967 (RCA 09026-60417-2); a group of solo pieces by Brahms recorded in 1970 and 1971, including the Op. 79 Rhapsodies (RCA 09026-60419-2); and a mixed recital consisting of the Barber Sonata, Op. 26, the Mozart C-Major Sonata, K. 330, and six pieces by Debussy (RCA 60415-2-RG).
2 Gould's 1955 recording of the "Goldberg" Variations, like Cliburn's 1958 recording of the Tchaikowsky First Concerto, has never been out of print (Sony SMK 52594). A selection of his early recordings, including performances of Beethoven's first two piano concertos and last three piano sonatas, Mozart's C-Major Sonata, K. 330, and Haydn's E-Flat Major Sonata, Hob. XVI:49, can be heard on The Glenn Gould Legacy, Vol. 2 (Sony M3K 39036, three CD's). Of comparable interest are the six Bach Partitas (Sony SM2K 52597, two CD's); a collection of solo pieces by Byrd, Gibbons, and Sweelinck (Sony SMK 52589); the Mozart C-Minor Piano Concerto, K. 491, with Walter Susskind and the CBC Symphony (Sony SMK 52626); and a collection of solo pieces by Brahms (Sony SM2K 52651).
3 The Glenn Gould Legacy, Vol. 2, contains a live performance of the Beethoven Second Concerto from Gould's 1957 tour of Russia; this performance, coupled with the Bach D-Minor Concerto taped at the same concert, is also available on Sony SMK 52686.
4 Gould's String Quartet, Op. 1, is available in a recording by the Symphonia Quartet (Sony SMK 52679); his 1982 recording of Wagner's Siegfried Idyll can be heard on Sony SMK 52650.

Toledo Music Fest returns to Headliners June 30Written by Mike Bauman | | email@example.com
On June 30, more than 75 artists from across the musical spectrum will perform at Headliners as part of the 2012 Toledo Music Fest.
"The cool thing about this event is we try to keep it as local as possible," said Broc Curry, president and founder of Innovation Concerts, which is putting on the event. "We want bands from basically like a 40-to 50-mile radius. We get hit up from bands all over that are like, 'Hey, we want to jump on this. Can we come play?'
"We tried to stay away from bringing bands from Cincinnati and Cleveland because we want it to be more of a networking situation for bands."
Among the area artists performing at this year's Toledo Music Fest are Raine Wilder, Great Lakes Crew, OnceOver, Tropic Bombs, GOLD and The Strong Talk. After a seven-year hiatus, Toledo Music Fest made a successful return in 2011 with more than 70 area artists performing on four different stages at Headliners.
"Last year was actually overwhelming," Curry said. "We actually ended up having too many bands. I had to cut it off at 71 just because there would've been no way for us to have enough time for all the acts if we had any more. We had another, like, 20 acts that really wanted on it."
Curry helped put together the first Toledo Music Fest in the late '90s at Main Event after the idea was brought to him by a member of the band Jank.
"It was a lot of fun," Curry said. "And then ever since then, it hasn't been an every year thing, but I've probably done it myself six or seven years. And when I wasn't around, Verso [Group] did it about a couple times also on their own."
Jeremy Lublin, a local veteran of bands Hearsay TAO and We Are The Fury who works with Curry at Innovation Concerts, played Toledo Music Fest in the early days and remembered the sense of community and excitement it brought to the scene.
"It was really cool because I think the first show I went to at the Main Event I saw Deftones, and I was like 15- or 16 years old," Lublin said. "And then, you know, to a year, two years after that be able to play that same stage and have 2,000 people be in Main Event — you know, the patio, and the main bar and the concert room — it was kind of like a dream come true at that point."
Tropic Bombs vocalist Ryan Wayton had a similar experience when his former band Promise of Tomorrow first played Toledo Music Fest in the early 2000s to a crowd of about 2,500 people.
"It was awesome to get to play for that many people because we were on the big stage — they call it 'Main Stage' — and it was just nice because all these people that never would have seen us before got to see us and we got to get our music out to them," Wayton said. "What Music Fest is, it's a really great tool for promotion and also for the fans to find new artists they like because it's pretty hard to just find local music, unless you feel like going to different bars every night seeking it out."
By booking a variety of artists from different genres, Curry wants Toledo Music Fest to provide a platform for local musicians to connect.
"It's really cool just to have everybody come together, and it's also really cool to see the aftereffects because you kind of see the relationships that are built after the show," Curry said.
With a turnout of approximately 2,000 people at last year's Toledo Music Fest and an active local music scene, Wayton and Lublin expressed their desire for Toledo Music Fest to be an annual event each summer.
"I want people — when they have to work — I want them to take off work every year," said Wayton, whose band will perform at 11:30 p.m. June 30 on the Main Stage this year. "I want this to be the thing where they say, 'There's no way I'm working because Toledo Music Fest is going on.' And I think it can get there if enough people promote it, support it [and] enough artists play it."
"I would love to do it every year, and I hope that we can keep doing it every year," Lublin said. "It's a shame that it took such a long hiatus."
The 2012 Toledo Music Fest will take place June 30 at Headliners, 4500 N. Detroit Ave. The event will feature a three-stage setup for an all-ages show that starts at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 and available through Ticketmaster, Culture Clash Records, RamaLama Records, Shakin' Street Records, the Headliners box office and all bands performing.

Volunteers sought for Scarborough Marsh, beach cleanup day
SCARBOROUGH — Earth Day is all about giving back to the planet, and nowhere is that more obvious than the annual marsh and beach cleanup day, the Saturday after Earth Day.
More than 100 residents came out last year for the event, and Linda Woodard of the Audubon Society said she expects at least that many again this year.
"At Scarborough Marsh we had two big storms, so there's a lot of grass on the (Audubon) parking lot and all around," she said. "We need some extra help from people this year. We might be painting the floor because it got a little wet during the storms."
The cleanup day is not limited to the marsh. Years ago, efforts to clean up the town's beaches were separate from the marsh. But Woodard said now the dedicated volunteers move around from the marsh, to Pine Point, to Higgins Beach, bagging trash, repairing boardwalks and cleaning birdhouses.
"We've had people bring their own canoes and do cleanup that way," she said.
The cleanup is important, as migratory birds will soon be arriving in the area to nest and raise their young. Woodard said the protected marsh acts as a nursery for many species, which are vulnerable to habitat changes and pollution.
"There's always a lot of trash left over from the winter. It gets into the water and animals will eat it, thinking it's food," she said.
Woodard said people are often surprised about what they find in the marsh or along the beaches.
"It's a lot of household things, like tires, TVs, paint cans. It's just amazing," she said.
Cleanup supplies, including garbage bags and gloves, are provided as part of a $7,000 grant from the National Audubon Society and Toyota. The grant also funds monitoring of invasive plant species and last fall's cleanup day.
The Earth Day cleanup will be Saturday, April 24, from 9 a.m. to noon with a rain date of Sunday, April 25. Interested volunteers can go to www.scarboroughmaine.com/marsh/cleanup.shtml for more information or to sign up.

Lakeside Hospital in Brockport closed Friday. The emergency department stopped accepting patients at 2:00p.m.
One patient remained in the hospital as of this afternoon and once that person is transferred, the hospital will shut it s doors. Just as a precaution, Monroe Ambulance will be stationed at Lakeside 24/7 until Friday May 10.
Friday was tough for the workers at Lakeside. The hospital has been open in Brockport for about eight decades. Workers say it's like a family atmosphere. Small enough that you can know just about everyone in the hospital. So it wasn't just about the hospital closing or losing a job, but it was also about saying goodbye to family.
Sandra Gaesser, Worked at Lakeside, said, "To say goodbye to people you've worked with for years, it's hard, really hard. A lot of tears, a lot of tears there today."
It was an emotional and tearful goodbye for workers as their shifts at Lakeside ended Friday. Darlene Stratton has worked at the small community hospital for 26 years. It has only been four years for Sandra Gaesser, but a tough day for both.
Darlene Stratton, Worked At Lakeside, said, "Well we just said our goodbye in there. A lot of tears and hugging. Now we're all going to meet afterwards in various places. A really, really sad day."
About 200 workers in all are affected by the hospital's closing. Some departments like maintenance will remain open indefinitely, but the hospital closing is a blow to workers and people like Stratton who live in Brockport.
Stratton said, "There's not going to be any cars here, it is sad. But maybe someone will come in and make something of it."
Maryann Wright is counting her blessing. This patient care tech has a new job.
Maryann Wright, Worked at Lakeside, said, "A lot of people are still looking and hopefully they have good luck finding jobs. I'm very thankful I'm getting a job at the Beikirch."
News10NBC did learn some good news coming out of all of this. A hospital spokesperson said there have been numerous calls to the hospital from other health organization interested in leasing the hospital space. So it could mean some new healthcare facilities and services after all.

The Toys for Tots collection boxes at The Willcox were filling up fast Monday as people stopped in to donate, to see Santa and Mrs. Claus and to enjoy hot chocolate and cookies.
This is the third year the historic Aiken hotel has hosted the U.S. Marine Corps. Reserve's Toys for Tots celebration, a "great organization," according to The Willcox co-owner Geoff Ellis.
"They're just fabulous. Last year, we had two rooms full of gifts. Really, for us, with the kids running around, it's a festive celebration," he said.
Santa and Mrs. Claus happily greeted young children, and photographer Todd Lista was on hand to take pictures of children with the jolly couple. Lista donated his services for the Toys for Tots campaign.
Joe Featherston with the James L. Hammons Marine Corps League Detachment No. 939 said about 146 boxes were deployed into the community to collect new, unwrapped toys.
Several corporations and neighborhoods, like SRS and Cedar Creek, collected several thousand toys to support the campaign.
Barbara Roberts and her two children donated two toys at The Willcox on Monday. This is the second year they celebrated at the hotel.
"We came back because it was just really charming with the hot chocolate. Plus, you donate to a good cause," Roberts said.
Her son Mike is pretty sure he is on Santa's nice list this year. In fact, Santa told him so in a video.
"Because I did good on the football team and did well in school," he said.

As your little ghouls and princesses hit the streets this Halloween, it's crucial that they have proper illumination to light their way and announce their presence to drivers. Below, we've gathered our top choices for Halloween LED lighting, as well as a few general trick-or-treating safety tips.
Clip-on safety lights for visibility. Pedestrians and bikers stay safe by clipping LED safety lights onto their clothing or gear. These small, lightweight LED lights pack a punch – they're certain to make your trick-or-treaters highly visible to drivers. For a little extra fun, place the LED lights inside translucent candy collectors. For instance, if your child will be carrying a plastic pumpkin for gathering treats, tape an LED light inside for a fantastic effect. (LED lights are cool to the touch even when illuminated, so there's no fire hazard here.)
Provide an LED flashlight for each member of your trick-or-treat crew. LED flashlights are easy to carry, highly effective, and fun! Little ones love playing around with flashlights – shining them into the trees, making spooky "ghost story" faces while shining their LED flashlight upwards, etc. If you're feeling especially creative, try incorporating the LED flashlight into your child's costume. Let's say, for instance, that little Billy is dressing as Luke Skywalker this year. Our TX10 LED flashlight would make a great "light saber" – especially when on the green light setting.
Choose LED headlamps for hands-free illumination. Ask any trick-or-treater: The first Halloween objective is to get as much loot as possible. For the serious candy hunters out there, we suggest a headlamp rather an LED flashlight. That way your little munchkin won't have to juggle a torch while opening his or her bag wide for treats.
General Safety Tips for Trick-or-Treating
- Trick-or-treating should never be done alone. Older kids can walk in groups; younger children will need adult chaperones.
- A couple of days before All Hallows Eve, do a trick-or-treating test run. Notice potential tripping hazards, and adjust costumes accordingly. Test costume makeup on small patches of skin to make sure no allergic reactions will occur. Talk about safety rules at this time; for instance, remind children to look both ways before crossing a street.
- Plan a safe route before setting out. Instruct kids to avoid cutting through alleyways or yards. Older kids and adult chaperones should carry cell phones in case help is required.
With a little forethought and the proper lighting, your kids can enjoy a safe, successful trick-or-treating run this Halloween.

John Kerry a 'no' on 2016: 'Out of politics'
Secretary of State John Kerry says he is one Obama administration alum you definitely will not see in the presidential race in 2016.
"I'm out of politics. I have no plans whatsoever; this is my last stop," the former senator and presidential candidate said in an interview Wednesday with CNN's "The Lead With Jake Tapper."Continue Reading
The bench of potential 2016 candidates for the Democrats includes Kerry's predecessor, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as his former Senate and current White House colleague Vice President Joe Biden.
But Kerry, who lost to President George W. Bush in the 2004 election, said he has no interest in mounting another campaign.
"I'm going to serve the country in the extraordinarily privileged position the president has given me, the great challenges that I have, and move on," Kerry told CNN.
CNN will air more of the interview on "The Lead" on Wednesday.

From the Inside INdiana Business archives, Host Gerry Dick speaks with NBC's Tim Russert in 2003.
A memorial service will be held in Washington, DC today for journalist Tim Russert, who died last week at age 58. Russert made several stops in Indiana during his time as moderator of the Sunday morning talk show, Meet The Press. One visit was in 2003 for an event at the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University. That's when Inside INdiana Business Host Gerry Dick caught up with Russert to discuss the economy and that year's build-up to a Presidential election campaign.
Russert also spoke at the Indiana Chamber's Annual Awards Dinner in 2004 and the 2005 Purdue Ag Fish Fry.
A memorial service for Russert will be held this afternoon in the Concert Hall of the Kennedy Center.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Maybe they're all wrong.
The Lord's day - The first day of the week, observed as the Christian Sabbath, because on it Jesus Christ rose from the dead; therefore it was called the Lord's day, and has taken place of the Jewish Sabbath throughout the Christian world. Clarke's Commentary
He calls it the Lord's day, which Paul calls the first day of the week; 1Co 16:2. Geneva Study BibleOn the Lord's day - On this our Lord rose from the dead: on this the ancients believed he will come to judgment.
Wesley's Noteson the Lord's day-Though forcibly detained from Church communion with the brethren in the sanctuary on the Lord's day, the weekly commemoration of the resurrection, John was holding spiritual communion with them. This is the earliest mention of the term, "the Lord's day."
He that lead into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kill with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. (Rev 13:10)
At Revelation 13:3, it says concerning one of the "heads", that "I saw one of its heads as though slaughtered to death, but its death-stroke got healed, and all the earth followed the wild beast with admiration." Which "head" or world power was this ? Since the time period for the book of Revelation is mostly during "the Lord's day" (Rev 1:10), which began with Jesus installation as king of God's kingdom in 1914, then the last "head" is the one that is in existence during this time and therefore controlling the "wild beast".And since, the world powers of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome have long disappeared, then it has to be the "seventh" or final world power of human history - the Anglo-American dual world power - that came into existence when the United States "joined hands" with Britain during World War I. From that point forward, they have played a significant role in world events, such as forming and backing the League of Nations that came to exist in 1920 as well as the United Nations in 1945.As a result of the heavy toll of World War I, of the loss of men and materials, as well as the pandemic of the Spanish Flu (in which epidemiologists estimate perhaps as many as 100 million people world wide may have died during 1918-19 pandemic) this made the Anglo-American world power seem as if it had been "slaughtered to death". This "death-stroke" or "sword-stroke"(Rev 13:14) also had an impact throughout the earth, deeply affecting Satan's political "wild beast", all the political governments on the earth. However, "its death-stroke got healed", recovering over time from the economic strain as well as the loss of men, to attain to world renown status, leading the way politically so that "all the earth followed the wild beast with admiration." The "dollar" of the United States became the currency that has dominated the world markets. Because of this, "they (all the earth) worshiped the dragon because it gave the authority to the wild beast, and they worshiped the wild beast with the words: "Who is like the wild beast, and who can do battle with it?" (Rev 13:4) Hence, Satan the Devil receives the worship he wants by means of his creation of the "wild beast", though the vast majority of mankind are unaware that they are, in effect, worshipping Satan by pledging allegiance to their respective nation's flags. They are unaware that it is Satan that is pulling "the puppet strings" of the nations through the various demons under his control.(see Dan 10:13, 20)Satan delegates authority to the wild beast, and he does this on a nationalistic basis. Thus, instead of being united in bonds of godly love, mankind has become divided by pride of tribe, race, and nation. The great majority of people worship, in effect, that part of the wild beast (the entire political arrangement of the world) having authority in the land where they happen to live. Thus the whole beast gains admiration and worship, putting love of country ahead of love of God, giving blind devotion to their country's nationalistic interests. These extoll it and as if saying: "Who is like the wild beast, and who can do battle with it?"
A "wild beast" is in other words, an "unrestrained creature." Though a man-made creature, the internet/computer, possibly including certain software, is unrestrained.Consider also how it is, or can be, "full of eyes."(I'm not setting anything in stone. It's only meant to be suggestive.)
Who is or could be the wild beast in the Book of Revelation 13?
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city,a. to finish the transgression, andb. to make an end of sins, andc. to make reconciliation for iniquity, andd. to bring in everlasting righteousness, ande. to seal up the vision and prophecy, andf. to anoint the most Holy.a] I just have to take a quick look at the front page of any newspaper and I see a lot of transgression.b] See a.c] That could be fullfilled by crucifixion.d] See a. The rightousness hasn't arrive yet.e] That could point to Revelation.f] Jesus was anointed. Sorry for the Trinity reference James but I think Father and not Son is the most Holy.Also note THY people and city. It's only about Jerusalem and the Jews. I think nobody will be able to convince me that there is really peace in Jerusalem.Jews are still rejecting Jesus.There is no Jewish Temple but a mosque (sp?)All-in-all it doesn't sound very completed to me. Parts, maybe. Everything, nope.
You all don't even have a idea about the wild beast, sad.
The Wild Beast is the animal impulses of the flesh. Food, covering, reproduction...The False Prophet is the religious mind of the flesh.The Devil is the originating identity of the flesh. This is the father of the carnal nature.These three entities are the only things clearly said by the Bible to be in the Lake of Fire.
Quote from: micah7:9 on January 28, 2013, 08:08:26 AMYou all don't even have a idea about the wild beast, sad. Some of us do, and this thread seems to be beating around the bush. First off, the wild beast harks back to the Book of Daniel. The leopard, bear, and lion resemblances take us back to Daniel 1:3-6.The seven heads and ten crowns take us to Daniel 1:7-8.But what is it?My sojourn with the SDA church was instructive, for there were many seminars on the Revelation, and books about it, which I studied a lot. My main reference was/is Unfolding the Revelation by Roy Allan Anderson. This book goes into quite a bit of depth, and I agree with most of it. However, I do not want to step on any toes here, and the book, overall, and in its coverage of Rev. 13, is NOT kind to Papal Rome. Am I in violation of T&C if I continue in this vein? Mods, please advise...

Grit Award
At 9, Jaeden Sharpe was a dreamer and liked the idea of making an impact on those around him. He and his brother were planning a clothing line, not to make money but to have an impact. He died a day after the first "J.J. Sharpe Impact" T-shirt was printed, shot while in the car with his mother.
Out of this terrible act, though, people who knew Jaeden and were inspired by him have found a way to continue his impact.
The J.J. Sharpe Impact Foundation has been formed to help connect children affected by violence with athletics and arts programs, counseling, education and mentoring.
It's wrenching that there is a need for such an organization, but it will serve a vitally important purpose. This week's Grit Award goes to a child who inspired in life and to those around him who made sure Jaeden would continue after his death to have an impact on some of the most vulnerable in our community.

San Antonio (AP) A sixth person has pleaded guilty in a $133 million tax fraud case in South Texas involving funds diverted from payroll and insurance programs.
Prosecutors in San Antonio say 61-year-old Larry W. Kimes pleaded guilty Thursday to tax fraud conspiracy and mail fraud conspiracy. Investigators say money was diverted between 2002 and 2008 for the personal use of Kimes and others, including Charles Pircher.
Pircher in November pleaded guilty to the same counts. Prosecutors say Kimes and Pircher managed some Professional Employer Organizations based in San Antonio.
Both men await sentencing and face up to 25-year prison terms plus making restitution. Four other people who also pleaded guilty have yet to be sentenced.
