Upon entering Andra Matin's exhibition "Sebuah Sekuel" at Dia.lo.gue Artspace in Kemang, one is immediately confronted with a cacophony of clamoring noises: a clock tick-tocking, a dog barking, a hammer sledging.
Yet somehow, the initial impression of obtrusive dissonance that sounds like you have just walked into a huge bustle dissipates within a few minutes and all the discordance seems to meld together. In its place, a spark of curiosity lights up — which is precisely what the curator Avianti Armand aspired to communicate with this exhibition.
"Architecture is an experience. An experience that involves the three sensory inputs of the body as a whole," Avianti said. "For this reason, film or cinematic presentation is chosen as the media to present Andra Matin's architecture. Architecture representation becomes closer to architecture experience. It reintroduces movement and tactile qualities, as well as articulates livable spaces that constantly link reality between material and vibrant images."
Nine short movies created by Davy Linggar, a photographer commended by Avianti and Andra, are integrated into different displayed renderings of Andra's architectural work that are spread throughout the gallery.
The idea is to reconstruct the same impressions and sensations you would acquire from Andra's architectural work as a cinematic experience.
"Andra Matin's architecture engages our visual perception through our gaze, organized in a flow of experiences sequentially. This engagement follows a practical approach by taking in the thickness of the walls, materials, floor levels, depths and so on. It forms like a film, in the dimension of time and motion," Avianti said.
Walking through the exhibition space, visitors are gradually introduced to Andra's works through different installations.
Since Andra is one of the most prominent figures in modern Indonesian architecture, it was essential to not reduce the quality in the intent of reconstructing. That said, the first installation that will catch your eye as you stroll through are schematic 3D models of his designs, on a wooden table suspended by strings to the ceiling.
The most significantly arresting piece among the installations is contained in a montage of videos, played in sequential loops, behind a mirrored wall.
Whether intentional or not, it felt as if one's own reflection assimilated into the piece itself. Another installation contained a movie playing in a small screen within a green, yellow and blue wooden pillar, making use of same pieces of his window designs of potato head bar and lounge that he was responsible for.
"If generally architecture flattens the human emotion, Andra's work drives us to live through a story and emotional experiences," Avianti said.
"In experiencing these spaces, memories and dreams, fears and desires, value and meaning, are combined with actual perception.
"It is a space that is integrated well within the subject's life as a whole. In reality, we do not live in two separate worlds: the material and the mental; these dimensions are totally intertwined and linked. Andra always creates a bond or attachment to his work."

Please Help remotely control a linux machine from macbook pro
Hi, I tried ssh to remotely control linux pc at my working desk, but there is no graphic interface, :Grimmace: any freeware I could use in the mac to remotely control my liunx pc or how do I add the graphic interface using ssh?O:)
And also I would like to set up the downloading files to a specified directory, rather than the desktop by default?
Many thanks.:)
Downloading of files from what program?
You'll find "Save downloaded files to:"
This is where you'll set the default download location.
Hi, Dysfunction, bobtomay,
Thanks a lot for your input. I have downloaded vnc and set the default dowload location.:) I input the same server address in the built-in vpn as that in the ssh, ssh is working without graphic interface, the built-in vpn got the error" The server did not respond. Please verify the server address and
try again".:Oops: I will try to get the vpn address from the uni support.
You may need to tunnel through ssh.
You will also likely need to start VNC on the linux box :)
All you have to do is install it on your linux server and then install the client on your mac. When you try and connect to your linux server it will ask you for your username and password, then connect to you linux box over ssh. It will bring up a desktop from your linux box in a window on your mac.
I don't know how they do it, but it is surprisingly responsive. I use it fairly often for connecting to my workstation from home. I have no issues working on my remote machine for hours at a time. The nice thing about NoMachine is that it works over ssh, so that you will not have to have your sysadmins at the Uni add any firewall rules to let you through.
I still have not got the vpn server address, as the IT support in our uni did not know and cc my email query to other colleauges to ask anybody know my query, the department support said no way. These IT support drove me mad.:Angry:
vnc rpm could not be relocated when I tried to install it in my home directory to skip the sysadmins at the Uni.
I also tried cisco vpn, it is always not connected when I tried every server address I know(including the ssh server), I could not see I can go any further without the correct vpn address.
my linux is CentOS, I am new to linux as to mac, not sure which NXserver I should download, I do not have root permission, so I tried to install it in my home directory.
I downloaded NX Enterprise Desktop server for Linux Evaluation_x86_64,
tar xvzf the 3 packages.targz
/nxnode --install --prefix=$HOME, got the error message"can not create configuration file", still the same error message even without "--prefix=$HOME"
/nxserver --install, got the error message" Error: Output:/bin/bash; useradd:command not found.
Error: can not add user:nx to the system."

Shop needs 'major improvements' after inspection found rotting food and dirty walls.
Posted: May 03, 2013|
A CORNER shop in Winshill has been told it must improve its hygiene standards, following an inspection when rotting food was found in the store room.
Nisa Local was given just one out of five in the Rate My Place scheme by East Staffordshire Borough Council when a catalogue of failings were discovered on the site.
Rotting salad was found in the walk-in fridge, and, in the freezer, fish was found which had defrosted and 'smelled off'.
The inspector said: "This food was not fit for human consumption and must not be sold."
There were also found significant gaps in the food hygiene knowledge of managers at the store.
In a report published this week, the inspector said: "The level of food hygiene knowledge exhibited by management is inadequate. For example, there was little understanding of what temperature food should be kept at or food safety in general.
"The shop must ensure that all staff are trained well enough to ensure the food sold is safe."
Bins were overflowing in the yard of the Nelson Street shop and there was 'debris' on the floor and the walls in the staff kitchen. Walls were also grimy in other parts of the building, including the fridges. The freezer was broken and there were holes in the wall where pests could get in.
The business was not registered with the council, and management was told they must take instant action to ensure this was rectified.
A rating of one in the Rate My Place Scheme means that 'major improvements' are needed.
The shop was told it needs to take immediate action to rectify some issues, including thoroughly cleaning surfaces, fridges and walls and discarding food which was no longer suitable for sale. Staff were also advised they must store food correctly at all times, and training was suggested to ensure that health and hygiene standards were met.
The Mail was unable to contact anyone at the store, despite several attempts, but a spokesman for parent company Nisa Retail said individual companies were encouraged to uphold high standards of hygiene at all times.

Accessibility on the web has been an issue for over a decade, and it remains a crucial--but often overlooked--element of web design. Instructor Zoe Gillenwater explains the concept of accessibility as it applies to the web, and describes how it affects the audience. She also covers how to set up accessibility testing, and how to apply accessibility principles to new and existing sites using standards-compliant markup and CSS. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.
>> Another type of layout that's possible with CSS, but not tables, is commonly called an elastic layout. This refers to its ability to start at a fixed size but expand like a rubber band if needed. These layouts are flexible because they're built with relative units. Their width is relative to the width of the user's font size. This is a pretty strange concept to talk about without seeing it in action, so let's create an elastic layout from one of Dreamweaver's pre-made layouts. We'll follow the same steps that we used for creating the fixed width layout, so go to the File menu and click New.
In the new document box this time, in the layout column, we're going to choose 2 column elastic, left side bar, header and footer. You'll see a different image this time to denote that it's an elastic layout. Again, I'm going to choose HTML 4.0 Strict for the doc type and keep Add to Head for the Layout CSS selected. Click Create. So far, our page looks exactly the same. So let's preview it in a browser. Go to the globe icon on the document tool bar and select preview in Firefox.
Again, we'll be asked to save the pages to our change, so click Yes and save it to the Chapter 3 exercise files folder as elastic.html then click Save. Let's do the same thing we did with the fixed width design and try changing the width of the browser window. So grab the bottom corner and make the window narrower and wider. So far the width hasn't changed and it looks just like the fixed width layout. But now we're going to try changing the size of the text.
Again, you can do that in Firefox by holding down the Ctrl and plus key, or Cmd and plus key, on your keyboard. Resizing the text just one degree has all of the sudden made the layout much wider. If we expand the text one more time, it's even wider still. Now let's hold down Ctrl and dash, or Cmd and dash, to make the text smaller. Every time we hit this key combination, the design gets narrower. This is a characteristic of elastic designs. Because the width of the design changes as the size of the text changes, we have the same number of words on every line at every width.
This allows us to optimize the line length of the text for easier reading. So close Firefox and go back to Dreamweaver so we can see how an elastic layout is made. In the CSS panel, click the All button, and then the plus sign by the style element. Click the second rule down for the container element. This time, if we look at the properties, the width is set to 46em, and em is a relative unit of measure. One em roughly equals two characters of text. So if we change the width value to another number, but keep it in em's, let's try a value of 30 em's, the design changes its initial width.
Less characters are now on every line of text. Let's preview the page in the browser again. We'll have to save changes again to our page. The starting width of our design is much narrower than it was before, but once again changing the size of the text here using control plus or command plus to make it bigger, still makes the overall design wider and maintains the same number of words per line. So you can see how this type of design has an advantage in terms of adapting to the user's preferences.
However, one of the problems with this type of design is that you can quickly generate a horizontal scroll bar in the browser. Let's enlarge the text a couple more degrees to see this. In order to view all of the content on the page, you have to do a lot of horizontal scrolling. The third type of layout that we're going to look at has its pros and cons as well, but generally is considered one of the most accessible types of layouts. Let's create a liquid layout next.

With the launch of the new generation of hardware there's been a lot of discussion looking back at the very best games from the previous 8 years. That's great and all, but we all already know that Mass Effect 2 and BioShock and Dark Souls are pretty rad.
I'm more interested in talking about the games that were a bit less popular and unappreciated that you really loved and feel like more people should have played. None of these would be in my top ten games of the generation because all those spots are filled with the more well known titles; but if I were to do, say, a top 50 list, these would probably be somewhere in the mix.
The way I see it, Dustforce and Super Meat Boy are very similar games. They are both fast-paced 2D platformers with super tight controls, great soundtracks and fantastic art from small indie developers. They both have a pretty high difficulty but never get frustrating; failure, in both games, only makes you more eager to get a perfect run.
They are both really awesome games, but I think Dustforce is better. Super Meat Boy was released a few years earlier and launched first on XBOX which probably helps make it more visible and so it got a lot of attention on games websites. Dustforce, on the other hand, flew mostly under the radar and I think a lot of people never played it which is truly a god damn shame.
And besides, any $10 that I can get 20 hours of constantly enjoyable fun out of is a winner in my book.
Fat Princess is a pretty silly little game and there's not a lot to it, but regardless it is probably one of the most fun multiplayer experiences I have had on my PS3. The frantic chaos of 32 little workers running around and desperately trying to steal the enemies princess while simultaneously feeding cake to their own princess to fatten her up and make her harder to steal was just a lot of fun to be involved in.
I think what sets it apart for me is the fact that you really had to work as a team to win. A lot of post Call of Duty multiplayer games tend to require absolutely no teamwork at all but in Fat Princess just trying to roll into the castle alone and take the princess wasn't going to work so you had to work and move as a team to be successful and when you were it was awesome.
It really is a pretty dumb game but I think a lot of people tend to forget how much fun it was.
I feel like the zeitgeist around RAGE was almost entirely negative and so when I picked it up during a Steam Sale a few years after it came out I wasn't really expecting much.
I was happily surprised though when I started playing. Despite it's reputation the game is actaully really solid. It has the great FPS controls you'd expect from id, beautiful graphics, an fairly interesting world and story and terrific voice acting. The gameplay and mission design is fine the whole way through and it was diverse enough that I never got bored.
It's definately not the greatest thing ever made but it's a real shame that I had to be so surprised to find a game that I thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end.
So those are mine, how bout yours?

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL -- When BRC Imagination Arts, world-renowned designer and producer of immersive educational, entertainment and brand experiences, was looking for an out-of-this-world custom frame and screen supplier for NASA's latest attraction at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, it turned to Harkness Screens.
Exploration Space: Explorers Wanted incorporates live theatre, interactive experiences and large-scale multimedia presentations to display what the future of space travel may look like. With four custom-shaped trapezoidal Harkness Contrast Grey front projection screens flying above the stage and two large main stage rear projection screens, the viewer is completely engulfed in imagery. The main stage 16:9 Harkness Translite Super Grey 14 X 7.8 feet rear projection screen was also custom designed to fit into a scenic LED bezel. The second standard shaped Harkness Translite Super Grey rear projection screen, which is located to the right of the stage, measures in at approximately 12.5 X 12.5 feet. A scenic bezel is used to make a 12 foot diameter circular viewing area. The Your Destination exhibit uses a 14 x 19 foot Translite Super Grey rear projection screen to create stunning images of potential future destinations for NASA.
This marks the second time Harkness has provided presentation surfaces and custom frames for projects on which BRC, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and NASA have collaborated. The first was for Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Launch Experience, which opened to rave reviews in 2007.
"We were confident in Harkness' ability to address our complicated needs and provide superior quality screens and frames for this project, as they did previously for the Shuttle Launch Experience," says Josh Cottrell, Project Manager at BRC Imagination Arts. "We originally chose Harkness for the Shuttle Launch Experience because it was the only company that could deliver a 20 ft x 40 ft screen that could be hung overhead in a flat orientation. On this project, Harkness once again took the challenge head on and did a great job."
The main show, Explorers Wanted, runs twice an hour, transforming the exhibit into a live theatre environment. Introducing new potential destinations for space travel, it invites space pioneers of tomorrow to embark on new missions and embraces the challenges of future space exploration.
"In addition to its ingenuity, image quality and durability, Harkness stands by its products," adds Cottrell. "We have been very happy with Harkness' products and have used them again recently for the USA Pavilion for the World Expo in Shanghai."

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Wynton Marsalis Discussion → Wynton Marsalis Discussion → Thread
It is truly a shame that most of today's jazz musicians do not know the real roots of jazz. The only mainstream artist that seems to understand this is Sean Jones who came out with a Roots CD a while back. It would be great if he chimed in on these discussions since he is in the J@LCO as Karen mentioned.
I was in fact listening to the Kim Burell song "I come to thee" as I was preparing to worship this morning. I so dig those words "I come to thee broken, only if you would just touch me" because they really do speak to my existence right now. In essence I am a true worshiper once called a woman after God's on heart. Unfortunately every anointed person must go through a wilderness experience in order to reach their destiny. (BTW, if their some prayin folks out their I forgot how sexy a black jazz artist can be, because there is nothing finer than a brother in church asking a sista' lunch, but this sista is on lock down until those papers come through. Instead of an Amen, can I get an alimony. Don't hate the playa hate the game, lol).
Normally when I play my trumpet at church I just focus on praising the Lord and just blessing people, but the dialogue on this forum has really forced me to focus on the theory behind a lot of the music. My dad's church is an old black baptist southern church, so all the music is by ear. Just as an aside, some of yall hip Yankees up north should come south of the Mason Dixon some time, then I wouldn't have spend so much time educating you young bucks about black American history. If you come don't stay in some swanky hotel like the Ritz Carlton in Tyson's II (great place where I spent my wedding night) or Watergate near the Kennedy Center or in Buckhead in Atlanta, spend some time with some poor colored folk for goodness sake, lol. And New Orleans doesn't count that is creole culture which has a completely different flavor than the rest of the south, I am talking about the Dirty South. Why ?
Because no offense, but I really don't think anyone can truly talk intelligently about the roots of jazz unless they spent time rolling around on the Old Chitlin circuit and really hearing old black Gospel music. Me and my family still roll around on it, because daddy is one of those old baptist fire and brimestone preachers like Dr. King and used to be a personal friend of Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Most of the music played on the Chitlin circuit has never truly been put through the rigors of academia, so once again oral history is trumped by written history. Soon I may have to call the dude at UVA who is doing an ethnographic study on black music, and help him out with his project, because it is seriously ridiculous how black contributions continue to get lost because of the oral nature of our African heritage. NAS the most intelligent MC on the planet is the only one holding it down in that regard right now, because his father was a jazz musician. Listen to "I Know I Can" you will hear the truth about real history. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxOEwGn_2Z4.
Everytime I listen to this song I am so sickened by the jazz community who alienate and disenfranchise black youth because of their bigotry and snobbery. That is because the jazz world is infiltrated by weak minded individuals, who can't learn anything outside of a classroom. They need someone at Juliard or some other place to spoon feed them information and instead of seeking the truth for themselves. I am not dogging formal musical training I just think like all formal education it strips people of their ability to think. I don't think it is a coincidence that Bill Gates is a billionaire and didn't go to school. Like Bob Marley said "emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind."
I AM the black Moses of mental slavery, leading people along the intellectual underground rail road that 400 years of miseducation still leaves people stuck in the prison of their minds. I have said it once and I'll say again "they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit AND in TRUTH. AND you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." All ya'll house slaves and Uncle Toms stay where you are, give me the field Negros who want to steal away". People with a field negro mentality understand: THE MAIN ROOTS OF JAZZ are gospel/negro spirituals which have the some of the same changes as the blues.
Bill Evans in that stupid interview that someone put on this forum talked about how the improvisation of jazz music came from classical music. Right because all those gospel/negro spirituals and then blues and jazz were pain stakingly written on staff paper by people who weren't allowed to read but some how magically knew the European notation system. Almost EVERYTHING in black music is improvisation because most black musicians can't read music at all or even understand a thread of real theory.
Case and point the music at church this morning played by a 60 year old piano player who couldn't read music but could kill all the tunes with great chord progressions and improv techniques. Playing with her was so fun because thanks to this forum for the first time I really began to hear the changes and understand them from a theoretical stand point. One particular song that was fun to play was the old negro spiritual-Go Tell It On the Mountain. I figured out that you could just play a blues scale over the crazy chords and inversions she was playing. We talked about it afterwards and she talked about how she has been playing since she was 5 but could only play in one key D flat. This key is what almost every traditional gospel player must play in, because if you get a Kirk Franklin Song book you will find that he plays in that key. D flat is in fact a slave scale and is played on all of the black keys of the piano (Fruedian Slip). I guess Stevie Wonder was so revolutionary because he was blind and figured out that Ebony and Ivory work together in harmony. And don't even get me started about the late great Ray Charles who I had the honor of playing with. Again African tradition is ORAL so I don't think its a mistake that you had these blind black men who could hear and play so well. They didn't require music they used their ear to guide them not a European System of notation that later high jacked jazz music. Innovators don't need to write down stuff they just hear it directly from God and just act. The Kind of Blue Album by Miles was almost completely improved and didn't have any real written music. Also if you jazz snobs are hip to Isaac Hayes you would know that Shaft wasn't produced with any music either, because Hayes could barely read music.
All this being said, I think it will be my life's duty, if Wynton wants to be Goliath of music then I will gladly play King David. I wonder how many forum posts will it take for him to come find me and jack me up ? LOL. In all seriousness though, I think studying gospel theory will more readily make it easier for people to understand and strengthen the connection between jazz, gospel, and other African American genres of music. Weak roots cause a tree to die slowly, but once reconnected with its roots it can be placed back near the rivers of Babylon where my people still cry. NWA never, Christafarian definitely ;)

Saw Ellis Marsalis Quartet play at St. Louis Cathedral tonight. Jason played too. His intro was all funk and jump on the tune "Little Drummer Boy". Jessie McBride sat in on piano for two tunes. They closed with a swinging Go Tell It On The Mountain that had the standing room only crowd singing along.
It was great to be able to catch that show, especially because the Red Hot Holiday Stomp was this weekend and I am far from NYC. Apparently not too far, though… The church is lovely, that's the one that our President Bush spoke in front of in the French Quarter after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. I was wondering about that Prof Jessie McBride though. He plays at Snug with a group called The Next Generation of Jazz Allstars. I heard him speak at a conference on New Orleans Jazz at Dillard and he was talking about how he came up with the concept of the Next Generation. This info got me thinking, hmmm, did he ever post on this forum?
So back to "swinging". For me, it's like this, swing refers to how a rhythmic pattern feels and that feeling of swing is based in New Orleans aesthetic sensibilities. It makes the music feel like jazz. But what about when the same pattern is played but it feels like "__________" based in African aesthetic sensibilities. What would that word be? I am looking to coin a term here. The feeling of the pattern changes when expressed in the African vernacular. It's like Cuban clave and Ga clave. The feeling and timing shift in this subtle way that is even based in the verbal expression of the people playing the music.
So, what I am getting at here is depending on where the Mountain is standing tall, the people are gonna tell it a little bit different.
Happy Sunday Y'all!
Sista Karen I really thank you for providing me with so much great dialogue about music, it is truly a great distraction from the War of Cameroonian Aggression. In fact I am procrastinating right now from going to visit my high powered Jewish attorney so we can strategize against the Prince of Zumanda from stealing his royal heirs, the fruit of my womb. If you are not married Karen, let me warn you against marrying an African, they may have the same color and are fine as hell, but good Lord are they crazy. Seriously when a man says "I am going to send you back to your parents", you know ya'll have some serious cultural issues, lol. Brotha man, I am a PROUD black woman, not a herd of defecting goats or tv. Where in my user's manual does it say return to the factory if defective, ROFL. I don't know how they do it in Africa, but in America if you broke it you bought it, live with it.
Anywhoo, Karen I don't know if you have ever heard or studied from other parts of the African Diaspora. Clearly I have traveled through out Africa and the Caribbean. I don't think you will meet a more proud young Pan Africanist than me, except my boy Bokar Ture who is the son of Kwame Ture aka Stockley Carmichael (Bokar is so fine, btw, but again TOO African). If you listen to Reggea, Ska, Sokous, Mokassa or Zouk you will find that there is an element of Swing, which sweetheart translates to a whole lot of swinging in the hips. Some people forget that jazz is about dancing. Most of today's modern jazz swings but you can't dance to it, which is another reason why it is a dying music in America.
Music to me is about language also. The king's English is great in a scholarly setting but it doesn't challenge the imagination. Concert hall jazz to me is king's jazz, but I personally don't want to hear that all the time. I want something earthy, sexy and soulful. Like I always say "if it aint rough it aint right." That is why I love pimp language as well and which was once very much the language of jazz artists. So let me break out of my Dr Wahoo persona for a second and be Ms Lady Miles or what the fellas at Morehouse used to call me Lady Mac. Now Dr Wahoo might say "I find estrangement from my husband very challenging to my emotional well being and I lament the lost of the deep physical and emotional connection we once had. " Very appropriate in a upper middle class Christian setting. However, if I am chillin with my musician friends being Lady Miles aka Lady Mac I am going to say "Yo I am a pimp by blood so that blues by Jill Scott is wearin on a sista. I can't wait until my emancipation so I can get into some mo betta blues. Cuz ya'll know who Whodini said who comes out at night, right ? "
Like Calvin Klein says "style is about appropriateness". Stylistically Europeans really have nothing to offer to jazz. In terms of musicality, African aesthetics is the under lying drive to New Orleans, jazz and other forms of black genres of music. However, Europeans are very good at providing structure and order to things so that they can become institutionalized for the greater good of humanity. In essence by the way this is the difference between Eastern and Western Medicine. Western Medicine provides much better diagnostic and surgical techniques than Eastern Medicine. This is why Western Medicine is much more precise. Likewise, jazz in its rawest form is very imprecise and doesn't have a high level of sophisticated form, which can be fun to play but makes it very inefficient to learn. What Europeans provided to jazz was an efficient way to learn it, but in no way shape or form really provided anything to its musicality or style.
Karen from your post, you really make me want to come down to New Orleans. I quite honestly have lived a VERY sheltered existence and thus have never enjoyed the French Quater. Like a traditional high class southern belle I went from my father's house, to the "sorority" house to my husband's house. I was married at 19, so that whole sorority house/college life time was very short. Don't even get me singing the I-missed-out-on-my 20s-therefore-never-went-to-Madi-Gras-Blue. However, the day of my emancipation will soon be here and Lady Miles will most certainly be on the prowl.
So Karen is it true that what happens in New Orleans stays in New Orleans ? The theme song of this year for me is "You'll Never Know What Life Will Bring" so who knows what next year's song will be. In any case I am done procrastinating or maybe I will take a nap, this week is so going to suck.

I can dance to jazz. It's all about improvisation.
Come on even Be Bop ? What kind of moves do you do to Donna Lee ? LOL. You can maybe wiggle to be bop but not some sexy dance of seduction, lol.

Because I dance African styles and went out for years on Saturday night to the Latino club for live percussion, my styles seriously blended. So it was really organic to find the corresponding rhythms for the African movement inside Latin Jazz and dance those African steps to the Latin beat but with a salsa flavor to the shimmy. I even got to perform with Rachel Z's trio up in NYC last year. Her bassist Mave went to New School and they had an artist from Ghana in and out during her program so she can bring it when it comes to Africa and Jazz. Bobbie Ray too, their drummer, is multiculturally minded and it's all in his drum kit. I came from an African dance/drum camp to do the show with them so my dances that night were mostly African vocabulary with Modern changes in relation to the meaning, mood, intensity, and tempo. I enjoyed that one very much. There is one tune, "Saints of New Orleans", that I danced to which they wrote for Katrina. That was truly a spiritual experience for me.
If you are interested, you should by all means check out New Orleans. There are festivals and cultural events absolutely every weekend. There is plenty to do and a large variety of music to be heard. The newest group on the scene would be the Fatien Ensemble. Their first gig was on Nov 20 at Snug Harbor. It's West Africa meets Jazz in New Orleans done extremely well. They need a cd.
I know Wynton and them will be down here to play the Congo Square at the end of April. I think I'll need to take the week off so I can come out and play! What about you, Sister Wahoo? (You know, I have to confess my Sicilian roots…)

CLEVELAND STATE STARTS SECOND HALF OF SEASON, SPLITTING PAIR WITH ROANE STATEJanuary 16, 2014
Cleveland State cranked up the second half of their Region VII Conference basketball schedule on Wednesday night at L. Quentin Lane Gymnasium as they welcomed Roane State to town.
The Cougars built an early lead and held off the determined Raiders to put a 72-63 mark in the win column while the 20th ranked Lady Cougars were not as fortunate as they dug themselves an early hole that they could not quite climb out of, falling to the Raiderettes by a final talley of 74-68.
The Cougars hit the floor on the run and hit their guests with a 14-3 run to start the men's game as Keevin Tyus and Stetson Moore let fly from three-point land.
Back to back treys from Jackie Hale and Matt Whitmire pushed the Cleveland State lead to a 22-9 advantage. A 16-5 Raiders run stopped the momentum and helped the visitors to erase the Cougar lead and briefly take a one-point lead of their own, 27-26 at the five minute mark of the first half.
The Cougars then righted the ship and went back to work as Moore and Robert Brandon hit a long distance shot each and Tyus added three tough buckets in the paint to help the home team reclaim a 10 point lead by halftime, 42-32.
The Cougars shot a cool 50 percent from the floor in the first half while connecting from downtown six times.
The Raiders used a 10-2 run midway through the second half to cut the Cougar lead to a single bucket at 52-50. The visitors took the lead again briefly on two straight trips down the floor with six minutes to go, but once again Tyus claimed the paint as his own with four free tosses and three spinning layups to put the Cougars on top for good, 65-61 at the 1:30 mark.
The Cougars then salted away the win at the charity stripe by hitting five free tosses to seal the hard fought win. The Cougars won the battle of the boards, 41-36 and committed only 11 turnovers. The Raiders were their own worst enemy at times as they hit only 13 of their 25 free throws.
"We've been working very hard in practice and I think it paid off tonight," stated Cougar coach Lee Cigliano. "We played hard and battled all night long tonight and hustled. We lost our focus a couple of times, but it's a good positive start to the second half of the season. I think that we played one of our better games on both ends of the court and it is a good way to start the new year off with a conference win."
Tyus led all scorers for the Cougars (9-5, 4-4) with 26 points and 15 rebounds, Brandon was next with 13 points and six steals while Moore added 12 points to the cause. Greg Murphy led the Raiders (7-7, 5-3) with 16 points while Marques McCoy had 13 boards.
The Raiderettes nailed a tri-fecta of three-pointers in the first minute of the ladies contest as they hit the Lady Cougars with an 11-3 run right out of the gate. The Visitors continued the frantic pace as they pushed their lead to a 40-18 bulge at the five minute mark.
The Lady Cougars clawed their way back to within striking distance with a 10-0 run in the final minutes of the half, but still trailed at the break, 42-28.
Five different Raiderettes connected from behind the arc (6 treys in all)in the half while holding the Lady Cougars to only 39 percent shooting and causing 12 turnovers along the way.
The Raiderettes picked up right where they left off by scoring the first eight points of the second half to take a commanding 50-28 lead.
The Lady Cougars finally found the right gear and steadily sliced the lead into single digits over the next 10 minutes of play. A nice driving layup from Brandi Whitted cut the lead to seven points and a three-point play by Jara Gasper and another layup from Katrice Harris seconds later sliced the lead to four points, 66-62 with 2:24 to play.
The Lady Cougars had a couple of opportunities to shave the lead even more, but just couldn't get the roll as the Raiderettes hit just enough free tosses to hang on and secure the win.
Aysia Grimsley led the way for the Lady Cougars (14-2, 6-2) with 22 points Harris was next with 14 points and Jamesha Mosley added 11 points and seven rebounds. Ashley Cox paced the Raiderettes (11-7) with 13 points while Shanae Brown added 12 and Nicole Hassler finished with 10.
Cleveland State will travel to Morristown on Saturday afternoon for a big Region VII Conference showdown with Walters State.

Clean Eating Pesto (Video)
I had a ton of basil in the fridge and wanted to see if I could lighten up my recipe just a little bit more.
By cutting back just a kiss on the oil, cheese, and nuts I was able to make my original recipe even lighter without sacrificing any flavor!
Pesto is full of nutritious ingredients like; basil, garlic, pine nuts and extra virgin olive oil, but when all is said and done, if I can find a way to lighten up a recipe without sacrificing flavor I'm all in!
Here's what I did:
- I swapped out a little more than half of the oil for chicken broth (you could easily use veggie broth if you wanted to keep it vegetarian)
- Reduced my pine nuts from 1/4 cup to 2 tbsp
- Cut out one tbsp of the Parmesan cheese
Small changes… big results!
I found that by adding in the broth not only do you save yourself some excess calories, but it makes the pesto creamier (there's no oil pooling at the top of your pesto), plus it's easier to spread and coats pasta more evenly. And don't worry, since you're not eliminating the olive oil all together, the pesto still benefits from the fruity, richness that the olive oil brings.
Now the question becomes, "What shall I do with my pesto this week?". What do you like to make with pesto?
Clean Eating Pesto
Yield: 8 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
- 2 cups, packed basil leaves
- 2 FAT cloves of garlic (if they're not fat, I'd use 3)
- 2 tbsp of toasted pine nuts
- 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil*
- 1/4 cup of chicken broth
- 3 tbsp of Parmesan cheese**
- Big fat pinch of salt
Pulse garlic in food processor until finely minced. Add pine nuts and pulse again.
Add basil and pulse until finely chopped (you may want to do this in batches).
With processor running, slowly add the olive oil and chicken broth, you're looking for a nice creamy consistency. Stir in the cheese and season with some salt...enjoy!
*Recipes tend to change just a little every time you make them. Add oil and broth slowly... you may need a little more or a little less.
**If you plan to freeze you're pesto, hold off on adding the cheese (it doesn't do so well in the freezer). Simply add it in whenever you are ready to use you're pesto.
Makes about a cup.

Good for you, Dani – I'm with you on lightening up when stuff is just unnecessarily heavy or even, with pesto, often gree-zy.
Alanna – I couldn't agree more!
What a great idea. It makes sense! Thanks for the tip.
Your recipes are all amazing, thanks for sharing! Enjoy the abundance of basil
Great tip! I like my pesto more liquidy too – and usually use more oil, but now I'll try broth
Katie – Thanks for stopping by!
Steamy Kitchen – I used to do more oil as well, but I'm telling ya, the broth is GREAT!
I love this tip — almost like that traditional Italian method of adding pasta water to the sauce!
Karen – Exactly!
I love pesto tossed with pasta. I love that this is lower fat. Thanks!
This looks like a great lighter pesto! I need to try this sometime. I love using pesto in this recipe:
I make it without the tomato, and often use wheatberries for the grain. I love the combination of grain, corn and pesto.
Great recipe Dani! I always add spinach to my pesto to add a little more veggies in it for the little ones but I will have to add broth next time. Great way to lighten it up!! Can't wait to try.
I like to mix in some broccoli and grilled shrimp then toss with whole wheat rotini. I see you also cut back on the cheese which is also not a bad idea. I'll try the lighter version next time.
Thanks for the recipe! The lighter pesto will go well in my tuna fish sandwiches. Thanks!
I noted that you made a comment about freezing pesto….how?
I have a LOT basil growing out back and I'm going to need to do something with it and this looks great.
I have so much basil in my garden I always look for inventive ways to use it. My latest : pesto mixed with avocado sprinkled with pomegranate. A delicious quick treat on toasted Arabic bread.
Just made this – didn't have enough basil, so I should have put less broth, but regardless, it's delicious! I'm currently enjoying this with some brown rice, tomatoes and black beans. Yum! Thank you for sharing!
This is a great idea that I will be trying. Dani…what type of food processor do you use? I have a Wolfgang Puck big model but haven't used it to make pesto yet. Thanks.
Thanks so much for this recipe! I can't wait to try it! I never would have thought to use broth in place of some of the oil.
One of our favorite quick dinners is to take Trader Joe's Lemon Pappardeli and toss it with pesto, baby spinach and sauteed shrimp along with a little pasta water. I just put the spinach in the colander I'll be draining the pasta into and that's enough to wilt it without overcooking it.
hey Dani, thank you so much for the recipe. Does vegetable broth work as well for vegetarians?

In this series, David Blatner and Anne-Marie Concepción, co-hosts of the web's top resource for InDesign tips and tricks, InDesignSecrets.com, share some hidden and sometimes surprising workflow tips that will make working in InDesign more efficient and more fun. The course covers built-in timesaving features such as Quick Apply and auto-expanding text, but also little-known tricks, such as using the eyedropper to copy and paste character and paragraph text attributes and making accurate selections by selecting through or even into objects.
New techniques will be added to the collection every other week, so check back early and often. Find more tips and tricks at indesignsecrets.com.
You know what's really hard in InDesign? Setting the size of this text so that it's exactly 60 points tall. You would think it would be easy, right? You think you could just choose the Type tool, select the text, and say make it 60 points tall. But is it really 60 points tall? Let's find out. I am going to use my little measuring stick called an empty frame. I'll grab this Rectangle Frame tool and simply click, that forces the rectangle dialog box to appear, and I can say give me a frame that's exactly 60 points by 60 points.
It's a little trick for getting a measuring stick. I'll bring this down and zoom in to like 600%, and I can see that this text is definitely not 60 points tall, it just isn't. So what did I set to 60 points? Well, I set the slug of text to 60 points. The slug is everything that includes the ascenders and any descenders. For example if I type a G in here, we can see that the ascenders and descenders have to be included in that 60 points and indeed, they are.
I'll move that box over and you can see that all of that gets included in the 60 points, but that's not what my art director said! My art director said, I want that a to be exactly 60 points and that's what's hard. Fortunately, I have a script that will make it really easy. I wrote the script up here on our site indesignsecrets.com, it's called Set the Size of Text Exactly. You can read about it and download it simply by clicking on the download it here button. Once you download it, you need to install it. Let me show you how.
I'll go back to InDesign, I am going to go to the Window menu and choose Utilities > Scripts. The Scripts panel appears and I can right-click on the User folder and choose Reveal in Finder. On Windows, it would say Reveal in Windows Explorer. I want to put the script that I downloaded inside the Scripts panel folder, not the Scripts folder, but the Script panel folder. So I'll double-click on that to open it. Here in my Downloads folder, I can see the script, except that notice that it added a .txt at the end.
That happens sometimes, it's unfortunate. I need to change the name and remove the .txt. InDesign scripts must end with .jsx or .js, but definitely not .txt. There we go. Now I have got a script that I can drag into my Scripts panel folder, I will go back to InDesign and you'll see that it immediately shows up in the Scripts panel right here in the User folder. To run the script, first select some text. I am going to get rid of that g, I don't want that in there, and I am going to select that whole word, aardvark and double-click on the script.
When I do that, it says how large do I want the character to be. I want it to be 60 points based on the letter a. That is, the a is going to be exactly 60 points large. It automatically converted this into millimeters, but that's okay. So I'll click OK and I'll zoom back and we'll see that the text is in my text frame. I better make this frame a little bit larger now, there we go to fit the whole text and let's check it out now. Let's see without ruler, is this 60 points? Yes, exactly 60 points tall.
Now sure, it's not every day that you need to set text to be an exact size, but when you need it, you really need it. So this script is one of the many that I keep in my Scripts panel ready for any situation where InDesign's features just don't go far enough.

Barack Obama Hacked on Twitter
Yesterday it was phishing attacks and an iPhone affiliate offer that were flooding Twitter.
Today… Twitter's top accounts are being hacked. Some are posting tweets meant to insult or ruin the reputation of the hacked individual.
In the case of the largest account on Twitter, belonging to President Barack Obama, the hackers placed another affiliate link.
Here is a screenshot of the affiliate offer that was linked in the tweet:
Obama's people were all over this and the tweet was actually removed within minutes of people posted.
Other top celebrities were also hacked today. Here are some of the screenshots taken of the hacker's tweets:
Twitter has published a post on their blog indicating that "the issue with these 33 accounts is different from the Phishing scam aimed at Twitter users this weekend. These accounts were compromised by an individual who hacked into some of the tools our support team uses to help people do things like edit the email address associated with their Twitter account when they can't remember or get stuck. "
Update: Wired scored an interview with the kid who hacked the accounts, in which he explains how and why he hacked @crystal, a Twitter support staff member.
"The hacker, who goes by the handle GMZ, told Threat Level on Tuesday he gained entry to Twitter's administrative control panel by pointing an automated password-guesser at a popular user's account. The user turned out to be a member of Twitter's support staff, who'd chosen the weak password "happiness."
Here is a video the hacker made of him inside the hacked accounts:

Our role is to provide solutions to governments
In the current times of economic crisis is there a shift away from sustainability and climate change issues?
- The traditional kind of environmental protection that we have often been doing is simply extra cost to society. And depending on political or economic context we are willing to pay this extra cost or not. We are seeing in many places when the economic situation is difficult, what gets cut first is the environmental protection, the education, the social services.
Sustainability is not equal to environmental protection. It is not silo thinking. Rather, the opposite: a combined system where you try to look at environmental, economic and social issues together. What you want is maximum benefit overall – so that you have jobs, economic growth, while producing ideally zero or minimal environmental impact. If you look at it as a package, sometimes it's a lot easier to find solutions than if you look at them individually.
I give you an example. If you just say, let us all use solar power. Now, solar power has reduced its cost but it's still more expensive than cheap dirty coal. The government could say: "It's too expensive, I don't want to use it". But if you can demonstrate that by solar power you can create local employment, then it becomes a different picture. This is what's important for the sustainable development framework overall. You don't look at just one specific item, but you look at it in totality.
Some governments in Central and Eastern Europe say that they'd prefer to work for the economic development of their country and think about nature later. What are your thoughts?
- If you simply focus on one element of that sustainable development framework, then maybe you can become rich quickly but maybe the cost for it in the medium and longer term will be such that you won't be that much richer. If you cut out a valuable forest today, then tomorrow you will not be able to make use of that forest that has a value in terms of providing clean water. Water doesn't come from a tap as our South-African colleagues have said. It comes from healthy ecosystems including forests. And if you don't have clean water, you'll have a water purification plant down the road.
In the short term it is possible to focus just on the economic growth and you'll become richer, but it's like putting your face in the sand and not realizing that you create a bit of richness but immediately after that you create problems down the road. There has to be a balance between creating wealth today, and maintaining healthy ecosystems to support people in the future.
This is our role - to demonstrate to the governments in this region that we don't just come here to oppose things. Our role is to provide solutions to them – how we can do it better, how we can still do economic activity that will create jobs, while at the same time protecting the environment. And it's hard work, there are no easy solutions.
A lot of jobs are being lost from the European region to faraway places. Now, is there some way we can connect with those countries and see how we can work better to make sure that either we don't lose the jobs or at least if the jobs go, they really create wealth in those countries? Because very often this is what happens – there are jobs, but they are very poorly paid and have poor social controls. You've seen the textile factory in Bangladesh. Maybe as a network we can work with each other and try to make things better overall.
In the end of the day - and this is a very important part of the sustainable development approach - yes, there are some easy answers and some "win-win" solutions, but most of the time it's all about trade-offs. It's about difficult decisions, but we have to find solutions so that the trade-offs are easiest and produce the maximum social and economic benefit with a minimum of negative impact on the environmental, economic and social effects. That's a challenge.
WWF is a science-based organization. From a scientific point of view why is it worth protecting nature in Central and Eastern Europe?
- We have to be careful - when we think of science we don't just think of natural, physical sciences. We have to be evidence-based looking at physical, economic and social sciences as well. So it's the totality of that picture that we need to look at. Now when you look at the scientific basis, there is a tremendous amount of nature, variety of biodiversity and ecosystems in the Danube basin and the Carpathians, there is a lot in terms of wolves and bears.
There is a lot to protect, there is no questions about that. The problem is, as always, that there are some people who want to protect and others who want to make use for some economic activity. That's the real challenge.

Drink between: 2008 - 2009 (Add My Dates)
Flat with no real taste. yech!
Tale of two cities... On the nose, restrained fruit, touch of earth - in other words, "old world". The palate however is rich and buttery with an easily detectable sweetness that feels completely new world. There's a mineral note on the finish and the acidity is there so it's a good wine, just the mouthfeel threw me.
Tasted as part of a flight @ KE. Nice pinot gris sweet citrus on nose. tropical fruity, almost too sweet with little acidity, slightly syrupy. Very close to an excellent wine but the sugars masked the otherwise nice balance.
b's notes: good pinot gris, a little sweet (86)
Light, crisp and refreshing. Aromas of flowers, white stone fruit and a hint of spice. Good food wine.

In a St. Joseph Health Scene Report, teens whose parents smoke are more likely to pick up the habit themselves. A recent report shows the effect was particularly strong if young people were exposed to a parent's smoking before their teen years. Researchers also found that in children of ex-smokers, the risk went away if the parent quit.

Miller-Coors could be banned in Minnesota
Miller Coors is about to be forced to pull 39 brands of beer from every bar, restaurant, and store in Minnesota. Score 1 for the craft brewers.
It's a new age and new era to be in love with craft beer. It's also good to know that the government doesn't let the big guys off easy, just because they have more money. With all the griping about the approval processes and forms to fill out I hear from the local breweries, it almost makes one think that the government is eyeing these small brewers in order to make their lives...full of paperwork. But sure enough, Miller-Coors is stuck in the battle of paperwork with the state of Minnesota and it's really possible that
Minnestans Minnesotites Minnesotians have had the good sense to eliminate Miller-Coors brand beers from their stores, restaurants, and bars.
Well, at least until the government renews Miller's liquor license. It looks like some Senators aren't down with a government shutdown (again, for the second time in six years).
Various citizens, mainly bar owners and liquor stores, are desperately worried about what'll happen to their precious Miller cases.
"Throughout the state of Minnesota, the local tavern, bar and grill are kind of the social hub," Pallansch, 65, said in a telephone interview from Grey Eagle, a town of about 320 where he owns the Double "R" Bar and Grill. "If they're locked up, it's going to be a big outcry."
But I don't get it. Isn't this the time to educate your consumer to a better beer? That more expensive beer is actually a lot better than, dare I say, piss water that the macrobreweries produce. I see this as an opportunity to move forward, to move on. Just because Miller isn't available doesn't mean that a) Budweiser isn't available either or b) that there's MUCH better beer out there. Support your local brewer, stock his beer and get your clients interested enough to buy it. Let's take a look at what these poor, unfortunate Minnesotians are going to lose:
- Miller
- Miller Lite
- Miller Genuine Draft
- Miller High Life
- Miller MGD 64
- Miller Chill
- Keystone
- Coors
- Coors Lite
- RedDog
- Blue Moon
- Extra Gold Lager
- Steel Reserve High Gravity
- Southpaw
- Sharp's
- Mickey's
- Fosters
- Old English 800 Malt Liquor
- Magnum Malt Liquor
- Hamm's
- Tyskie
- Cusqueña
- Cristal
- Àguila
- Icehouse
- Sparks
- Molson Canada
- Milwaukee's Best
- Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat
- Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve
- Killian's Irish Red
- Pilsner Urquell
- Peroni Nastro Azzuro
And now, let's look at the craft brewers brewing some authentic Minnesota craft beer:
Obviously, there's no local supply of anything other than Miller-Coors available to those bars & restaurants and their patrons are just gonna have to go sober for awhile. Or we could teach them to CrossDrink!

Why no bones?

The Yankees and the Angels were playing game 5 in the American League Champion Series. Fox had the honor of hosting game 5, and the games start at 8:00... I personally think Bones is way more interesting.. but aparently the network executives do not agree :(
Lol. I agree with you bluroses. Bones and Fringe are much more important and interesting. I was quite upset :-( They should do double episodes next week.
