I think its more likely they could move to, or trade for, #5. Depends on what direction Shanahan wants to go in, and which veterans he is willing to ship out.
NHL Rumors IV: Maple Leafs and the Idea of Trading Up at the Draft
- Mike Ziesberger of the Toronto Sun: There is talk that the Maple Leafs are interested in moving up in the draft. At the draft combine, the Leafs set up a late interview with one of the players that is projected to go in the top three.
"Word is, they are exploring moving up — it's more than due diligence," said a source familiar with the Leafs activities at the combine.
- Damien Cox of the Toronto Star: The Leafs need to get creative to increase their talent, and moving up in draft could be one way to do so. Their 2015 1st round pick and Morgan Rielly are untouchable. Moving one of Jake Gardiner and Nazem Kadri would be intriguing.
- Hope Smoke: Bob McKenzie: "There is one player the Leafs would be interested at the tip of the draft and that's Sam Bennett" … "The scouts aren't saying he'll be as good as him but they compare Bennett's game to Toews" … "I have no specific knowledge that the Leafs are trying to get up in that spot or that they want Bennett, but for a team that needs centre iceman that's an option for them" … "Bennett is a centre, but he's not a franchise defining player by any stretch of the imagination like a McDavid or Eichel" … "Bennett's a real good C. There are a lot of scouts I talk to, and you have to be real careful how you throw this word around, but he plays like Jonathan Toews. Plays a similar game. Scouts aren't saying he'll be as good as Toews." … "They are saying, when you have a player with those kinds of qualities that play the 200′ game that have some edge to his game, but also has the ability to be offensive and make plays, that's an intriguing possibility" … "So, if you're the Leafs & you're always looking for that centre that can play in the league for 10-15 years this might be the guy"
- Hope Smoke: Ray Ferraro: "If you're moving up to get that pick in the draft, you're making a significant move. You're not moving your third line winger" … "Do you move Kadri and your 1st for the top pick? That's the type of guy you'd need to move. Around that age"

I honestly think if they stay at 8 then they'll get a high end prospect like Brett Ritchie, Jake Virtanen, Nikolaj Ehlers or Willie Nylander and by staying at 8 they can keep Kadri (a 23 year old 50 point centre) and Phaneuf (a top 2 d man) and other young players.
I fear though that the following will happen:
Nonis will trade something like Kadri and #8 for the #1.
Nonis will draft Ekblad or Bennet or whoever and they'll end up being okay while Kadri will turn into a 70 – 80 point guy in Florida along with whatever winger they draft at 8 and the Leafs will look like dumbasses….just like they did when they traded #30 (Rickard Rackell) and #39 (John Gibson) for #22 (Tyler Biggs).
How about they just scout and develop better and stop picking big stone handed behemoths like Biggs, Gauthier, Broll, Devane etc. who have bottom six trajectories at best and instead take a swing at guys with actual skill. Yeah the skill might not translate to the NHL but if it does then you have top six and top four players which are far tougher and more expensive to acquire than 4th line plugs or bottom pair d men.
Very well said, Chris. I feel you all the way.
I would personally rather draft Sam Reinhart if they were to move up to the top, or Aaron Ekblad. To me Bennet isn't worth the lost assets.
@P.B. Reinhart was NOT impressive at all at the World Juniors. He is one of the oldest players in this draft class, Nov/95, and if he had been born a month earlier would have been in last years draft….and would have been lucky to have been in the top 20. Like his brother Griffen, he will be barely average.
I'm in Florida, I scoff at a proposal to receive Kadri and #8 for the #1 overall. I realize Leafs fans value Kadri a lot, but think of it from their perspective. Florida and #8 doesn't get it done. Perhaps Kadri + #8 + 2015 2nd .
Leaf fans, either your team is absolute crap and Dion is a top 2 defenceman or your team is average and Dion is a 4-5 defenceman. Not both
Keep your pick. You'd be nuts not to take Kadri and #8. I hope TO is not that stupid.
I agree. This trade is crap for both teams. At #8 this year you may well end up getting the best player in the whole draft anyway.
I usually agree with commenters taking "Leafs Fans" to task, but what Ross says above is complete nonsense.
Absolutely no one in and around the NHL, believes Dion Phaneuf is a #4 or #5 D-Man.
He is likely an average/above average #2, depending on his partner, and would be an Elite #3 (if playing on a team strong enough, that he is a #3).
Furthermore, if you asked him to play 18-20 mins per night as a second unit D, and asked him to be creative, he could quite easily be a top 5-7 scoring D man again.
He is asked to do WAY to much for the Blue and White. Beyond what he is capable of doing.
If FLA looks to move #1, i would assume they are looking for at least one established and controllable NHL defenceman and/or a veteran top six forward.
Tallon is likely talking to teams that have had a recent change in management (like Toronto), and i would think that Vancouver (targets: Hamhuis, Bieksa, maybe Kelser) would be an interesting team to match up with.
I think Tallon looks for a blockbuster deal, and a "Kadri" isnt that.
And yet more Toronto/1st rumours. Although, it's nice to see Ferraro is feeling left out, and deciding to throw his 2 cents in. This is getting kind of stale, but since its Toronto media types, I wouldn't expect anything otherwise.
I don't see Barkov and Bujgstad going anywhere anytime soon, so I have no understanding as to why Kadri's name is circulating, other than Talon could possibly be able to flip him for a more glaring need, like a winger.
Granted, Kadri has played wing before, but was useless on it. Been much more productive as a centerman.
As like any draft, whether projected to be weak or strong, the "shiny new toy(s)" get unprecedented attention among GM's and media alike.
There is so much banter about the Leafs wanting to move up in the draft, there is likely something to it . With so many teams likely to bid for that #1 pick, I doubt the Leaf management…very vanilla ordinarily, will ante up enough to do the deal. Ross, I think you point is reasonably well stated, but I think Phaneuf is better than a 4-5 D man on an average team . Mostly, since his arrival in Toronto, he has drawn the likes of Gunnarson as a partner , and at the same time, has had to face all the best players of other teams, every night. I know I wont get agreement here, but Gunnarson is the epitomy of average, when he is at his best. At his worst, he is a quivering mass of insecurity out there, handles the puck lile a medicine ball, and couldn't knock over the third string centre on the Cdn. womens team . I am not a Phaneuf fan , nor am I a hater . For the record, if Florida wants high return for their #1 , they can keep it. At #8 , the Leafs, as someone stated, have the pick of several kids , and maybe one of them actually develops into a top six forward . My pick at #8 is either Ehlers , or if he is gone, I would take Fleury, who is the 2nd best defenceman in this draft.
@jeff , no way most teams is he top 2, look at the jets who finished the same as the leafs, they wouldn't swap trouba, bogo, enstrum, Stuart or buff (if you want to count him as a d ) for dion. So on a non playoff team like te jets he is a 5-6 d. If dion was being paid 4 mill or less he'd be a lot more attractive
I'm not a fan of Toronto or Phaneuf, but I agree with with Jeff's comment about Phaneuf.
Also Jeff brings up a good point, which I never thought of. Tallon is more than likely trying to get a feel for the teams new management. And Vancouver seems to look like a much better match than Toronto at this point.
I mentioned this awhile ago, but IMO, #5 is probably the farthest Tallon would want to fall. That would basically give him the pick of the litter of wingers in the draft. Now, seeing as NYI are pretty deadset at #5, Vancouver sits at 6, and depending how Linden/Benning want to go with the Canucks, I can see them being a player in this.
I think Islanders trade out of the 1st Round completely, and I wouldn't be surprised if Tallon does the same.
How intriguing would #1 and #6 be for Vancouver/Trevor/Canucks fans?
Ross, I said Dion is an average to a (slighty) above average #2.
If he was played as a #3, i think he is an Elite #3.
EVERY SEASON IS THE SAME b.S. LEAFS ARE GONNA MOVE UP IN THE DRAFT!!!!! AND THEN THEY DO NOTHING.
Same old story to keep the fans interested that are slowly starting to stop watching the joke of the world for a sports franchise
How about
Phaneuf and 1st (8th overall)
A bag of bucks
The Leafs will NEVER get rid of that bum captain and albatross of a contract
No need to beat a dead horse, I just don't see Dion as a top 3 d on any team. As for draft trades, I can see Tampa trading both there number ones to move up to the 6-10 range to get ehlers who was Drouins linemate.
I love what Chris had to say, That is the most reasonable thing on this whole board. Also, I'm not a big Dion fan but when I go through all the defensemen in the league I see him somewhere between 20-24 which would make him in most cases a #1 or #2 D-man. If you gave him a solid partner I wouldn't be surprised if he moved into the top 15-20. Either way, Leafs fans sure have a way of devaluing their players
Most people don't actually watch hockey games objectively though. If Dion Phaneuf did the same toe drag turnover that Doughty did last night every Dion hater would be using it as evidence that he's clearly a terrible defenseman….same with Dan Girardi's turnover or Muzzin's stumble or the own goal….whenever Dion makes a mistake it's analyzed to the point of ridiculousness that simply doesn't happen in other markets. For every Dion act of stupidity I could find an equal example on You Tube of the best of the best. The guy saying that Phaneuf would be a 5/6 on the Jets is laughable. Phaneuf had more points than every full time Jets D man last year (Byfuglien plays forward too so I didn't count him) and doesn't play 'safe' minutes like Trouba. Some of you vastly underestimate the difficulty between playing in the top pair vs playing in the 2nd pair. If Phaneuf was playing a #3 role on a team like Chicago or Minnesota with PP time, his numbers would vastly improve.
Fortunately for the Leafs, real NHL GMs aren't as stupid as armchair GMs. They actually watch these guys play and don't base their opinions on what teams they are fans of or what some journalist or blogger writes.
The dismissal of Kadri also kills me. Like if the rumour was that Philly were gonna include Brayden Schenn in a deal with Florida it would somehow have more weight because Schenn plays for Philly. Kadri had more points than Schenn last year and has 26 MORE career points than Schenn in 15 LESS games.
His 50 points as a 2nd/3rd line centre last year would have bested Florida's top scorer (Bjugstad) by 12. At 23 he will only get better.
Aaron Ekblad may or may not be a top 2 or top 4 NHL defenceman. Dion Phaneuf already IS.
As people have stated on this board already, if Tallon or Florida fans are expecting some sort of blockbuster for this pick, you'll probably be disappointed as I don't think anybody is going to give up multiple major pieces for a pick that is not projected to top out at the same level as other drafts. This isn't a Crosby, Toews, McKinnon type year. This is more of a Yakupov year.
I wish I was a GM against some of you! let me make this comparable again… Dion Phaneof versus Mark Stuart. Dion has 20 more points per season ( Stuart get zero power play where Dion does), roughly, I repeat roughly same blocked shots, same plus minus, not far off in ice time, Stuart fights more, Stuart a way better leader and dressing room guy. Stuart ( a 4-6 D-man) salary = 2.65 million, Dion ( considered by some here, NOT ME!! a 2-3 D-Man) salary = 7 million. With all considered which one do you want? the answer is very easy!!! This is why the amount of teams interested in Dion is very few and far between. So please take a realistic look around the NHL, there are a ton of D playing at the same level or higher making significantly less than Dion so calling him a 2-3 defenceman on most teams is a joke!!!!!!
Ross – Dion Phaneuf would be the best d-man on the Jets aside from MAYBE and this is a huge maybe: Tobias Enstrom. He's in a class above Mark Stuart and the fact that you even named Bogosian is laughable. Jacob Trouba is not at that level yet although he has the potential to be better. Big Buff would not last a second in Phaneuf's position, he doesn't have the cardio to play that much and still be even somewhat effective. I like Enstrom's game, and I would consider Phaneuf and Enstrom at roughly the same skill level.
@ chris….seriously?? are you not well?? Buff played 3/4 of the year at D and had 25 more points than Dion, Trouba played 15 less games and only had 2 less points. Dion would absolutely be in the third pairing on the Jets! and no higher than the 2nd pairing on any other team in the NHL but no one would want him at 7 million dollars/year because that amount for him is ludicrous!!
@ brandon…..not a single GM would take Dion over Bogo or Trouba, you must realize that. I'd take Stuart and 2.65 mil over Dion and 7 mil everyday. And Buff played more minutes on D than Dion so check your stats!!
The Leafs traded Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman, Jamal Mayers and defenceman Ian White to get Dion Please!! Please name another player in the NHL making 7 million that I can trade a bunch of bums like that list for!!!!! Maybe the Flyers would give you Pronger today for 4 or 5 3rd and 4th liners
If the leafs fired Carlyle there would be much more flexibility when it comes to roster changes. We all know that younger players wont succeed with Carlyle as coach, who prefers to play his energy players over developing potential game-changers in Kadri who has great potential, but I don't see him succeeding with Carlyle as coach.
Until those guys play the same kind of minutes that Phaneuf does the comparisons are specious at best. Playing 25-30 minutes per night vs the other team's top lines for 82 Games is different than 18 minutes in a bottom four role. Until you understand that concept there is really nothing more to discuss.
If the leafs really are thinking of moving up in the draft they should look at moving out lupul, the 8th pick, carter verhaeghe and maybe a 3rd round pick for the 1st pick, then should try and move phaneuf and kadri to the oilers for the 3rd pick and sam gagner(since he seems to be on the outs there and has a bigger contract than kadri), then the leafs should pick ekblad and draisaitl(or bennett).
Enough of every leaf fan saying "there asking Dion for to much"…Dions cap hit is around 7 million… I mean cmon thats Shea Weber/Zdeno Chara/Ryan Suter type money. Personally I dont believe there asking him to do enough. I see him as a 3-4 defensemen… at best. Sorry leaf fans.
Be fair. The Leafs decisions on draft day and beyond have been poor, often taking size and coachability over skill and hockey sense. Is that Morrison's fault? He's partly to blame, but often Leaf GM's set the tone of who to draft, which is why the Leafs draft guys who have no hope of playing top 6 in the NHL, they never could and nobody saw them that way. They got depth players, they hoped.
Will Nonis trade up? Since when has he ever? Will he add a first round pick? Again, that's not his history. Morrison and his staff picking guys who can play top 6? Again, not likely, look back at the draft since 2006 and you see Kadri (an odd Burke call) and Rielly (who many saw as one scout pushing hard for).
And Phaneuf? Any fan knows that if he plays under 24 minutes he's solid, over he loses out, wears out mentally. Look at his last 20, he sank like a stone. But on a team where he's playing 24- a night in the top 2 and he's fine. Should the Leafs even out time with Rielly, Gardiner, Phaneuf, and Gunnarsson? Sure, of course, play a top 4 about 23 minutes each, spread it around, keep Phaneuf mentally sharp. Trade him and that's what other teams will do.
Me? I'd trade up, and keep the #8. Way too many guys who refuse to backcheck, play 200′. Can't win that way. How many games did the Leafs look hungrier, more determined than the opposition? 2, 3? That's embarrassing.
Without a strong commitment to the draft in 2014-16 there will be no Cup by 2020.

continued This year, Westmount applied $1.2 million of its reserve funds toward its operating budget and still had a shortfall of $584,000 bankrolled by the taxpayers. This operating shortfall is expected by 2016 to balloon to about $6 million, according to financial projections prepared several weeks ago by Dusek.
At the Aug. 2 meeting, Westmount Comptroller Becky Henkel said she believed there would be a lower deficits than those Dusek cited.
The supervisors, particularly Warrensburg Supervisor and county Budget officer Kevin Geraghty — as well as Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe — cited the need to continue to provide care for the county's elderly who depend on Medicaid and Medicare.
Monroe noted that many nursing homes now turn away Medicaid recipients because the reimbursement pays far less than the services actually cost.
Westmount Director Barbara Taggart also said the county should continue its mission to serve all, regardless of ability to pay.
"Westmount residents grew up here, worked here, raised families here," she said. "Caring for them is a moral issue."
She also noted that 28 percent of Westmount's patients were private-pay, which historically bolstered the home's finances. County officials said this percentage was far higher than most municipally operated nursing homes across the state.
Supporting the initiative, Horicon Supervisor Ralph Bentley noted that shutting Westmount down would continue to cost the taxpayers anyway, as the county would be required to pay the Medicaid costs of the infirm elderly cared for elsewhere.
Dusek predicted that private firms would consider operating Westmount as an attractive proposition, due to its proximity to the Northway — which would be convenient for private-pay Capital Region families visiting their loved ones, and because it has a cogeneration plant on site that can provide heat and electricity inexpensively for the nursing home. He also noted the ample acreage available surrounding the home, the adjacent municipal water and sewer services, as well as the skilled existing staff.

Will Rogers Park: Madresita had tightener
Madresita might have been second in her trial for the $100,000 Black Gold Futurity, but as the lone stakes winner in the field she will start as a top contender Sunday in the 350-yard race being run at Will Rogers Downs near Tulsa, Okla.
Madresita won an Oklahoma-bred stakes at Remington Park in April. In her Sept. 23 trial for the Black Gold she missed by three-quarters of a length as the favorite. The race was her first start in close to three months, and she can move forward Sunday. Jimmy Brooks has the mount for trainer Eddie Willis.
Willis also will send out the fastest qualifier, Eyem Unstoppable.

Tips On Hardflips
im having trouble with my hardflips i dont know if its my feet position, power or just lacking in the know how of the trick :( :( :(
In order to help we need to know what your exact problem is, please explain in detail what happens when you try to hard flip, or you could even post a video of your hardflip attempt. I personally put my back foot like a frontside shove and my front foot almost about an inch down from the bolts, very pointed so that when you flick you can immediately get your foot out of the way for the board to do the rotation. For hardflips pop is crucial. The main things to focus on are ; -Popping hard -flicking your foot completely out so it doesn't get in the way of the board's rotation -tucking your legs up to your chest so that your feet stay above the board. For hardflips there's not much scooping involved, so by putting your back foot in front shove position and giving a good solid pop while your front foot flicks out of the way, the board will naturally give it the traditional hardflip style. Where as if you scoop more it'll look more like a frontside varial, which isn't wrong, but it's not necessarily the end result most people want. Hope I helped. Please post what your exact problem is as I said and I'll help you from there. :)

Was so looking forward to a sushi restaurant in the neighborhood. This was not worth the wait. The food was less than average, high in sodium and expensive. It will be awhile before I give it a second try.
Posted by Inwood Res. on 02/06/2009
Ok... it's nice that there is another sushi place that will deliver this far uptown. However, this place needs a lot of work. I ordered the crab salad... this was advertised as jumbo lump crabmeat (which it was not... I don't know how they could possibly call that shredded mess jumbo lump), it did not include corn (which it said that it would), and there was not NEARLY enough acid in the ponzu dressing... it needed lemon juice or something. The Tuna Ceviche was also disappointing. It's not a real ceviche... at all. There is not nearly enough acid... that would probably be my biggest complaint about the place... there is no acid to be found anywhere. This is a flavor that is essential to japanese cooking. The ceviche was listed as being served with "chips" which were potato chips that were completely soggy. The fiesta roll was fine... except that it wasn't spicy (as advertised). And the Rainbow roll was ok. Though, I am used to a rainbow roll being built over a crab roll and this was just an avocado/cucumber roll with fish on top. The fish was basically fine (except for the ceviche... because there was not enough acid the tuna had a slightly funky taste to it). I would like to see this place do well... but for the prices the are charging, they need to get higher quality ingredients and make their flavors a bit cleaner. I'll try it again... but maybe not for a while.
Posted by bread on 01/24/2009
My favorite was the Mamasushi and the Heights roll. You have to try it. Definitely going back. The place is small but homey. I was told the seabass is worth trying too.

This one is going to be about the aftermath so to speak..As we've seen there is going to be an explosion..and as history has shown..explosion=trapped victims..With everyone outside of the Metro waiting for their loved ones..and some sneaking in of course..Will there be unlikely rescues? Who will Ric save..and will he be tempted to let them die? Since all the hostages are standing together..will the rescuers also save unlikely ppl? Ppl they normally wouldnt life a finger for? I'd like to know opinions on who it would be the most interesting to see rescued by an unlikely person? Stuff like that..Will ppl be tempted to not save one to save another..What choices will they have to make to save some..or let some die?
I would love to see Ric rescueing Elizabeth! Yes Ric is a real jerk but I can definetly see him changing for Liz! But I guess it would't work cause she is pregnant with Jason's baby (as far as we know)...I just don't want her with Lucky or Jason...

So what's Base 10? Well, it's got nothing to do with baseball, but math.
A total of 63 Aiken County School District teachers from grades K-2 attended a three-day workshop at USC Aiken last week – sharing numbers and operations math strategies related to the new Common Core academic standards.
Base 10 is the more formal description of ordinary number placement. Common Core was developed by states as the first-ever national set of standards. Roughly 47 states have adopted them and in 2014-15, new assessments called Smarter Balance will be given to students in grades 3 and above.
The opportunity at the workshop has been an amazing chance to learn more about the new standards, said Tamara Butler, a Hammond Hill Elementary School second-grade teacher.
"I'm a little apprehensive about some of the Smarter Balance standards," she said, "but it's exciting to come in and see and hear it, and put it into action. I'll be able to take it back to the classroom and implement it a little better."
The seminar was sponsored by the School District, the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center and the advocacy organization Public Education Partners. USCA and Aiken Technical College are also collaborating on the implementation of Common Core, said Gloria Allen, Ruth Patrick's coordinator for professional learning.
Common Core's goal is to graduate students who are career- or college-ready, she said. USCA's School of Education is preparing its students for the new standards.
"Aiken County has a unique way to supporting teachers district-wide with an emphasis on Common Core," Allen said. "Elisha Chryzan, an Aiken Tech math instructor, brought a perspective on placement values to help teachers."
Teams of teachers worked on presentations on specific standards and shared them to provide multiple resources.
"There's a lot of trial and error," said Kristal Hicks, a Clearwater Elementary School teacher. "But we're working with fellow colleagues, knowing we're not alone and learning what works and doesn't work. It's about thinking outside the box."
Senior writer Rob Novit is the Aiken Standard's education reporter and has been with the newspaper since September 2001. He is a native of Walterboro and majored in journalism at the University of Georgia.

He serves as a director of the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities, the Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities, the Lehigh Valley Hospital, and the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation. He is a trustee of the Harry C. Trexler Trust, and active in the United Way and many other local and regional organizations.
He was presented the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Lehigh University in 1986 and Moravian College in 1988, and an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Lafayette College in 1994.

Late yesterday, Bill Clinton made an interesting statement while stumping for Hillary in Iowa. He predicted Mike Huckabee (who, like Clinton, hails from Hope, Arkansas) would win the Republican caucus today and even gave him a sort of hedging endorsement. From the Sun:
"Governor Huckabee has got a little hometown pride going because it looks like the Iowa republicans are going to give him the caucus."
"He looks to me like the only one who can tell a joke. It's a pretty dark crowd."
"You know he was underestimated. He's got on well here and it doesn't surprise me."
That's weird, huh? Especially since in some polls (like one in Arkansas, for example), Huckabee is the only candidate who poses a threat to Clinton's wife, Hillary. It's odd that Bubba would add his weight to Huckabee's momentum. Except, wait a minute, isn't this familiar? Didn't Karl Rove and President Bush sort of tout Hillary herself as an inevitable Democratic choice, thus playing into her "de facto nominee" primary strategy? Rove and Bush did it because they assume Hillary's negatives will take her down in the general election, so they felt safe encouraging her. Does former president Clinton feel that Huckabee is already flawed enough that he can't win in a national election? Or does he know something we don't (other than, you know, how to run a country) that might come up later? We're not sure. All we can tell you is you're lucky we're not drinking already.

/// Judge Says Oracle Can't Copyright Java APIs
One of the more controversial stances that the software giant Oracle had taken as part of its dispute over Java with the search giant Google was that 37 specific application programming interfaces — software tools that programmers use to work with Java — could be subject to copyright protections. Today the judge hearing the case ruled that they cannot. Judge William Alsup ruled only on the issue of the 37 specific APIs and didn't tackle the wider issue over whether or not an API actually can be protected under copyright law. Some software developers had worried that it might be an overbroad interpretation that would tie up some widely used techniques under tricky copyright rules. Oracle you'll recall had sued Google alleging both copyright and patent infringement over Google's use of Java in creating the Android mobile operating system. Google had countered that Java is free to use and that the APIs are more or less required to use Java in the first place

We love looking at and telling you about new concepts for a better iOS experience. Today, there's another new iOS 7 concept, which imagines a Notification Center with actions.
Apple introduced the Notification Center in iOS 5 and it has been improved in iOS 6, but if you want more out of your Notification Center, you'll have to jailbreak your iOS device. There are plenty of tweaks that improve the Notification Center, adding shortcuts and actions for plenty of iOS functions. This new concept posted by a user in the MacRumors forum, shows actions in the Notification Center.
This concept adds an action bar to all the notifications that appear in the Notification Center. The bar can be viewed by swiping left, which reveals important actions for every notification. In the case of a missed call, you can swipe left to view actions such as 'Send Message', 'Call' or 'Set a Reminder (to call back)'. The actions will be different for different notifications. For example, swiping left on an Email notification will show actions such as 'Reply', 'Delete' or 'Mark as Read' etc. Third party app developers can add this functionality to their apps too.
You can easily take care of those notifications without having to open relevant apps. As of now, when you get a notification, you can't really do much with it, so this concept is something Apple should really consider in iOS 7. Even Android's notification system doesn't allow for such a thing. Watch the video of the concept below:
Apple should really start looking at some of these concepts and add them to iOS 7, because honestly a lot of people want more functionality in iOS. Not everyone jailbreaks their iOS device. Okay, now somebody please release a Cydia tweak using this idea. Thank you.
What do you think of this Notification Center concept? Let us know in the comments.

The payment for this course will be handled through the store and should be available for purchase tomorrow (though, remember, courses don't start until the 8th) i have heard of Gimp but sadly, I am not all that familiar with using it, if you consider yourself to be an advanced user I am fairly certain that you should be able to modify the tutorials to suit your needs, although, without extensive knowledge of that program, i cannot say for sure. A great deal of the course material deals with non-program specific information so that would not be a 'translation' issue at all. I hope you join in! :-) One of the features that makes this course unique is that if you have a particular question that is not covered in the material I will do my best to search to find the answer for you (even if I don't know it myself) and give you the best possible information I can find (my Library clerk work history is showing, I know.. LOL :-)

Fraction of applicants in federally regulated industries fail drug tests
CORPUS CHRISTI - QUESTION: How can I find drivers who can pass the drug test for my trucking business?
ANSWER: Most industries including those like restaurants who employ lower wage employees now require applicants to pass drug tests. Federal law requires applicants for jobs in industries that have exposure to potentially hazardous materials to pass pre-employment drug tests. Federal law also requires random testing of all employees in those regulated industries on a regular basis. There's a perception among business people that drug use has increased significantly and is a major problem. However, in 2011 only 1.8 percent of applicants in federally regulated industries failed the drug tests. That's about the failure rate of the oil refinery I managed when we first started testing applicants more than 25 years ago.
Some areas of the country have higher failure rates of as much as about 7 percent.
The fact that many industries now require drug tests has also shrunk the available pool who are drug free. However, a failure rate of 7 percent is not insurmountable. That means 93 out of a hundred will pass. You just have to process more applicants.
Until recent years urine tests were used which detect drug use within the previous several weeks. Some businesses are now using hair follicle tests which detect drug use within the previous several months. Those businesses report a higher failure rate. Some businesses require an employee be tested after having an on the job injury requiring more than first aid. They believe drug use can result in on the job injuries. The plant I managed was never able to prove that cause and effect. In the past 5 years about half of the failures are caused by prescription drugs. In 2011 tests of federally mandated workers indicated amphetamines accounted for about 24 percent of positive tests. Pain relievers known as oxycodone accounted for about 3 percent of positives.
You can't influence job applicant's drug use but you can influence employee drug use with good training programs. Don't just test job applicants. Have a random test program for all employees. For federally mandated workers the Department of Transportation sets the criteria and standards for testing. The company hires an outside third party service to conduct tests and administer the program. Even though your industry may not be federally mandated I suggest using the department's approved program. Employees are more likely to stay clean if they know they will be randomly tested and be subject to discipline if they test positive.

World away from brother Barack
Posted: October 17, 2012|
It was hard to tell whether George Hussein Obama – brother of the most powerful man on the planet – was reclusive, untrusting or simply exhausted from answering the same questions over and over again.
I met him at Curve on the set of Obama the Mamba – a new play which details the fall and rise of a man the Nairobi underworld used to call "the Crocodile", due to his ferocity.
His story is engaging but becomes more intriguing when you follow his lineage to Washington, USA, and learn that George is the half-brother of the American president.
But "the Crocodile" had little time for conversations about family.
"His life is his life," he said. "He lives in the First World, I live in the Third World."
Bought up in a Kenyan slum, George dropped out of school early and reveled in a life of crime – before later having an epiphany and focussing his energy on working with ghetto youngsters.
But his early life was far removed from the youth worker that coaches underprivileged children today.
"My life is different now," said the former gangster, who left school aged 15.
"I dropped out because of bad influences. I dropped out and went into crime. It's a part of my life and I have regrets – I wasted that part of my life."
George admitted to robbery as being the worst crime he had committed.
Then, aged 20, he was jailed – which he says gave him the time to think about his future.
"I saw my friends dying around me because of crime, and I thought, 'this is not where I want to die. I do not want to die while I'm young'.
George decided he would dedicate his life to preventing youngsters getting involved in crime. Now, he is a coach for a local football team, Huruma FC, where he works with youngsters who have the potential to follow the same path he did.
"They are like me, but before crime," he said.
The 30-year-old's life would not be further removed from that of brother Barack if he had moved his corrugated iron shack to Mars.
While George was serving time in an African jail in 2003, Barack – with whom George shares a father – was being prepped as leader of the western world.
For the past two days, TV crews, newspapers and radio presenters have been queuing up for a chance to ask George whether he ever thought about how his life could have been, ahead of the play's official launch at Curve last night.
"Honestly, I don't like interviews, I am exhausted," he said at one point.
George – who is tall and long-limbed, not unlike his American sibling – spent most of Monday and yesterday answering (or not answering) questions about his extraordinary life.
Yesterday afternoon, for this interview, George, Kevin Fegan, the play's author, and I sat on the set on the compact stage in Curve's smaller, 180-seat auditorium.
It is where George would last night watch his life played out in front of him, and he admitted feeling "nervous".
The stage was covered in red sand and there was a large wooden platform taking up most of the space.
"This is like home," said George. "It looks like Africa. Like the slum."
I asked George to describe the slum and talk about where he lived, but he just laughed and looked away.
It was a rare moment of expression from the Kenyan.
"It's hard to describe the slum," he said. "If you grew up in the First World you can't understand the Third World." He turned to playwright Kevin. "Ask Kevin, he's been there," he said. "He can tell you what it's like."
But in the end he decided to answer for himself. "I think it's not bad, but there are a lot of problems, healthcare and sanitation," said George.
"Unemployment. Children do not go to school because of poverty."
Playwright Kevin said he was inspired to pen Obama the Mamba after reading George's biography, written by British writer Damien Lewis.
"I went to meet George last summer," said Kevin.
"I had to meet and experience the slum community for myself.
"It's very much about trying to capture his life through his eyes and experiences."
Obama the Mamba runs at the theatre until Saturday.

What's not to like about Emma Stone? The young redhead seems to be one of the most likeable and grounded members of today's Young Hollywood scene, eschewing arrests and stints in rehab for well-liked turns in films like Superbad, Zombieland and Easy-A. Some might even go as far as to call her the next Anna Faris! However, much like the aforementioned Faris, her first time hosting Saturday Night Live didn't exactly go as planned.
It wasn't like Stone was a stiff on the level of the dreaded January Jones, but it was clear from the monologue that she going to be a natural in terms of her ability to connect with the audience (Related: Who chose that outfit? She looks like she's going to her first day of Boring School, not hosting SNL). Stone is neither a stage actress nor a true comedienne, but we hoped that she would bring a little something more to the proceedings than a look that screamed "I'm just going to try and get through this without screwing up." Granted, it was not the writing staff's finest hour, but when you're given the opportunity to zing Lindsay Lohan, you gotta make it work!
So, we've established that Saturday night's episode was pretty middle of the road, but there were some interesting breakthroughs this week (say hello to Paul Brittain, everybody!). Follow along for our weekly breakdown of how the Not Ready For Primetime Players performed this week!
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE POWER RANKINGS: 10/23/10 (Host: Emma Stone; Musical Guest: Kings of Leon)
1. Kenan Thompson (33 points): Did you know that Kenan Thompson arrived at Studio 8H a full two years before the likes of Andy Samberg, Kristin Wiig, Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis? It's true, Kenan joined the cast WAY back in 2002 (the others were class of '05). The reason I bring this up is because while it feels like it's time for Wiig to hit the bricks — more on this below — Kenan is still blossoming. His portrayal of New York gubernatorial candidate Jimmy "The Rent Is Too Damn High" McMillan on Weekend Update was one of the show's high points, and despite his similarities with Grady Wilson, I look forward to seeing more from Googie Rene and his assortment of stained costumewear. Sheeah!
2. Nasim Pedrad (32 points): I still haven't forgiven Lorne for dumping Jenny Slate into the Hudson River, but I'm really glad that he decided to keep Nasim Pedrad around for another season. So far this season, Pedrad is proving herself to be a future anchor of the show, even if she does have a semi-annoying habit of continually playing characters who are obsessed with members of their own family. And you really can't put a price on her ability to shimmy, as evidenced this week by her slick moves in Les Jeunes de Paris (not to mention her backup dancing in "What Up With That?").
3. Bill Hader (29 points): It's official, everybody loves Stefon! Admittedly, the whole corpsing thing felt as forced as the Tracy Jordan subplot in the live episode of 30 Rock a few weeks back, but when you get lines about fat kids on slip-n-slides with knees like biscuits, why bother complaining? I can only hope that, one of these weeks, we get to go on a Digital Short road trip with Stefon to New York's hottest clubs.
4. Kristin Wiig (29 points): Criiiiiinge! Oh boy, "Dream Home Extreme" was an exercise in awfulness that showed what would happen if the Target Lady met Surprised Sue on a road trip to Yikesville USA. M
Points for trying out a new character, we suppose, but next time, perhaps she could try something with some new mannerisms? (Thanks to commenter Buffyinindy for reminding me that this wasn't the first time that Dream Home Extreme sketch has aired; we had wiped this awfulness from our memory. My apologies, all points have been updated to reflect this.)
5. Paul Brittain (26 points): There he is! After we (lovingly) advised Brittain to take last weekend to hone his pitches, he came back firing on all cylinders this week, particularly with "Sex" Ed Vincent ("You can call me Sex Ed, that's me. Sex Ed, that's me!"). Even though it wasn't billed as such, it was the best "digital short" of the weekend. Welcome to the party, pal!
6. Fred Armisen (16 points): Armisen didn't have much to do this week, but that's okay. His Obama has never been a strong suit, but his Joy Behar is always, well, a joy. (Groan.)
7. Andy Samberg (15 points): Again, not much to say about Samberg this week. He showed up, said his lines, then got out of there. His Grape Jelly character in the Digital Short was very Aqua Teen Hunger Force-esque, wouldn't you say?
8 (tie). Vanessa Bayer, Taran Killam (13 points): Ok, Taran Killam, you're on watch! Of the four new castmembers, only Killam has yet to have a character that really connects with the audience. That said, we have no idea what part he had in the Les Jeunes de Paris sketch (which, sadly, NBC hasn't put up on Hulu, likely due to royalty monies they'd have to pay), but I thought it was the standout sketch of the night.
11. Jason Sudeikis (12 points): Not the best week for my boy Sudeiks. His main involvement in the show this week was his Brett Favre impression, but a few things bugged me about this:
A) I know this is REALLY nitpicky, but Favre is a righty and Sudeikis is a lefty. Don't know why that bothered me, but it did.
B) This sketch a rip-off of Funny Or Die's "Dickhole Jeans" (which, I believe, went up on Thursday).
11 (tie). Bobby Moynihan, Jay Pharoah (8 points): Ack, another week, ANOTHER terrible impression of a celebrity. His Jonah Hill didn't really resemble Jonah Hill in any way, shape or form. BRING BACK MARK PAYNE!
13. Abby Elliott (4 points): The less said about Abby Elliott's work so far this season, the better.
BONUS! A huge congratuations to our old Best Week Ever pal and VH1 alum John Mulaney for absolutely KILLING with his new bit, "I Love It."

Ok, so this college-age guy is one of my X-tube favorites. He starts his video looking all jocking, cocky, and muscled.
Then, as he starts to jerk it for us in his bedroom, his horniness grows with every stroke, and his true bottom nature comes out. He positions his ass for the camera, and BOY does he know how to move it.
Let me tell you, as I top, I can see that riding this guy from behind would be pure ecstasy. In his video, he pushes his ass back as if to meet his top's thrusts – this boy obviously knows how to bottom! God I want to fuck him.

Chinese Medicine
~Taoist Sexual
The highest excellence
is like that of water. The excellence of water appears in
The Tao Te Ching, Chapter 8.1
Above all the ancient Taoists were scientists. Taoists
believed that wisdom came from accumulated knowledge subjected to
scrutiny and deeper and deeper questioning. The Taoists had a purpose
and a morality to their questioning and search for wisdom. They
sought immortality and immunity from disease of all kinds. Very
early in the ancient writings they realized that one of the keys
to immortality was to hold themselves to higher ethical and moral
standards. Only in the path of righteousness would it be possible
to realize their goals. Unlike western religions, the Taoists were
not inclined to lead a righteous life because they feared retribution
from a vengeful god, but because it was the best way to achieve
what they wanted to achieve. The choice is always presented in a
way that acknowledges the full responsibility of the individual
for what he does in the world. All aspects of life and living came
under their scrutiny so it is not surprising that at some point
they would turn their attention to sex.
We in 20th century North America have much to learn
from these ancient scientists, not the least of which is that science
needs a morality and a purpose. Science for Science's sake is a
very convenient way to absolve oneself of personal responsibility
for what you create and unleash upon the world.
In a day when, according to some statistics, 80% of
the internet is given over to 'porn sites', when pornographic material
is available at the local 7-11, and allegations of all kinds of
sexual misconduct ruin lives and break up families every day. It
is hardly worth stating that North America, and the United States
in particular is very much disoriented about sex.
The ancient Taoists, probably would not bother to
render a judgment on this situation. Any human activity is legitimate
and to be learned from. There is no right way or wrong way to
do sex. But there is a purposeful way that brings wealth, prosperity,
healing and a life well lived and other ways that often bring
guilt, anger, fear, disease, dissipation, and hardship. There
is always the choice.
It will take many more pages to even begin to appreciate
the Taoist views of sexual magic and alchemy, but I will begin
with a few observations.
At the core of Taoist sexual practice is the desire
to achieve practical immortality and immunity from disease. Intense
pleasure and spiritualization of the body came as interesting
side effects. The Taoists, were alchemists, seeking the secrets
of transmutation. Like their western counterparts, they saw the
epitome of transmutation in transforming lead into gold, and transforming
living flesh into immortal essence. By many accounts some were
successful, and records exist that attest to this. Of their many
secrets, sexual magic and alchemy is one that aims directly at
the spiritualization and ultimate immortality of the body. Sexual
practice is one that allows one to experience directly the frequency
of creation. A frequency most believe is the exclusive preserve
of the Divine.
To achieve immortality, it makes perfect sense to
associate as closely with it as possible. Sexual energy aims at
fortifying the body to such a degree that it is invulnerable to
invasion of any kind of disease, or the development of any kind
of internal disharmony that would lead to disease.
This means that the Taoist diligently maintains
internal balance and harmony, at all levels.
The Taoists also approached sex on different levels.
At the physical level, sexual activity can have an intense healing
effect if one is having difficulties. At the emotional level,
sexual praying can calm the emotions and the mind and create a
peaceful state within which to solve problems and create better
circumstances. At the spiritual level, it is thought that certain
sexual rituals can even 'spiritualize' the body, which is a body
unbound by time and space.
The point of sexual practice is to preserve and enhance
Qi in the physical body, particularly Yuan or Original Qi, which
is the store of Qi one is born with. Yuan Qi is the specific essence
that links our Ethereal Soul with the Universal soul. Yuan Qi is
said to reside in the Kidney organ system, of which the genitalia
are a part.
Specific practices include the man withholding ejaculation.
It is thought that semen contains a man's physical essence. Semen
is pure Yin in nature. This means it is purely nourishing at all
levels. Depletion of Kidney Qi is the Taoist definition of death.
Taoist exercises aim at strengthening prostate and
other muscles of the anus and genitalia so that a man can separate
orgasm from ejaculation.
Women also do similar exercises to strengthen vaginal
and anal muscles. Since it is thought that women lose their essence
through menstruation and childbirth, these exercises ultimately
result in the cessation of menstruation altogether.
Sexually, women are encouraged to orgasm as much as
they desire. In Taoist sexual magic, the theory is that there is
an exchange of Qi between the partners, but since it is the woman
who is energized, the man is able to draw on that Yin energy for
health and other benefits.
It is therefore in the man's best interest to be
at service to the woman's orgasmic pleasure. This requires a great
deal of information exchange between partners. The woman's orgasm
consists of 9 separate stages, while the man's is only 4. In fact,
orgasm in the woman is the 4th stage, same as the man's. After
orgasm, the woman goes through 5 more stages of higher and higher
frequencies. more..
These are important stages in the orgasm experience
as they take the sex act from one focused only in the body into
higher realms of frequency. This takes sexual activity out of
the realm of animal urges and release into the human search for
For partners, this takes them into a state of bliss
which some call 'true love'. In practice, this is a state of being
far beyond the hormone induced state of temporary
insanity that passes for romantic love in present day society.
As well, Taoist approach sex as a highly effective
healing activity. Modern science has identified hormones like
Pheromones, and Endorphins, which not only have healing properties
hundreds of times more effective than any drug or herb, in an
otherwise healthy body these hormones provoke intense pleasure,
and fortify and energize. See the next page for the stages of
Below are the 9 general healing positions of sexual
intercourse recommended for everyone as a general practice. In
the Taoist way, these are to be done in sets of 6 to promote Yin
and sets of 9 to promote Yang, or alternating to promote balance.
As well, in thrusting and rocking maneuvers, these
are to be done in sets of 6 or 9 for full effect. But don't worry
if you lose count, with practice this becomes second nature. In
Typical Chinese fashion, sexual positions are drawn from observing
nature. Not only are the positions visually reminiscent of their
natural namesakes, but adopting the character of each is encouraged.
For example, in the Turtle position, it is helpful to pretend you
are actually a Turtle. This is not only fun, it helps one to understand
the the diversity of nature and the possibilities of being Human.
When doing the Dragon, try to remember that Chinese Dragons are
much more compassionate than their western cousins.
So, here they are.

Lamentazioni per la Settimana Santa
Despite an unsurprising degree of conservatism in liturgical music, devotional life in Rome often found ways of taking advantage of modern musical style.
As the editor of Opera magazine, John Allison, notes in his editorial in the June issue, Donizetti fans are currently spoilt for choice, enjoying a 'Donizetti revival' with productions of several of the composer's lesser known works cropping up in houses around the world.
Philippe Jaroussky lends poetry and poise to the sounds of nineteenth- and twentieth-century France
Carolyn Sampson has long avoided the harsh glare of stardom but become a favourite singer for "those in the know" — and if you are not one of those it is about time you were.
This Winterreise is the final instalment of Matthias Goerne's series of Schubert lieder for Harmonia Mundi and it brings the Matthias Goerne Schubert Edition, begun in 2008, to a dark, harrowing close.
This elegant, smartly-paced film turns Gluck's Orfeo into a Dostoevskian study of a guilt-wracked misanthrope, portrayed by American countertenor Bejun Mehta.
We see the characters first in two boxes at an opera house. The five singers share a box and stare at the stage. But Konstanze's eye is caught by a man in a box opposite: Bassa Selim (actor Tobias Moretti), who stares steadily at her and broods in voiceover at having lost her, his inspiration.
Richard Strauss may be most closely associated with the soprano voice but this recording of a selection of the composer's lieder by baritone Thomas Hampson is a welcome reminder that the rapt lyricism of Strauss's settings can be rendered with equal beauty and character by the low male voice.
Bernarda Fink's recording of Gustav Mahler's Lieder is an important new release that includes outstanding performances of the composer's well-known songs, along with compelling readings of some less-familiar ones.
Das Rheingold launches what is perhaps the single most ambitious project in opera, Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen.
This live performance of Laurent Pelly's Glyndebourne staging of Humperdinck's affectionately regarded fairy tale opera, was recorded at Glyndebourne Opera House in July and August 2010, and the handsomely produced disc set — the discs are presented in a hard-backed, glossy-leaved book and supplemented by numerous production photographs and an informative article by Julian Johnson — is certainly stylish and unquestionably recommendable.
Recorded at a live performance in 2012, this CD brings together an eclectic selection of turn-of-the-century orchestral songs and affirms the extraordinary versatility, musicianship and technical accomplishment of mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená.
Once I was: Songs by Ricky Ian Gordon features an assortment of songs by Ricky Ian Gordon interpreted by soprano Stacey Tappan, a longtime friend of the composer since their work on his opera Morning Star at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Alfredo Kraus, one of the most astute artists in operatic history in terms of careful management of technique and vocal resources, once said in an interview that 'you have to make a choice when you start to sing and decide whether you want to service the music, and be at the top of your art, or if you want to be a very popular tenor.'
In generations past, an important singer's first recording of Italian arias would almost invariably have included the music of Verdi.
With celebrations of the Verdi Bicentennial in full swing, there have been many grumblings about the precarious state of Verdi singing in the world's major opera houses today.
In the thirty-five years immediately following its American première at the Metropolitan Opera in 1914, Italo Montemezzi's 'Tragic Poem in Three Acts' L'amore dei tre re was performed in New York on sixty-six occasions.
Few operas inspire the kind of competing affection and controversy that have surrounded Mozart's Così fan tutte almost since its first performance in Vienna in 1790.
During his career in film, opera, and operetta, Richard Tauber (1891 - 1948) enjoyed the sort of global fame that eludes all but the tiniest handful of 'serious' singers today.
Known principally for its two concert show-pieces for the leading lady, the success of Francesco Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur relies upon finding a soprano willing to take on, and able to pull off, the eponymous role.
It would be condescending and perhaps even offensive to suggest that singing traditional Spirituals is a rite a passage for artists of color, but the musical heritage of the United States has been greatly enriched by the performances and recordings of Spirituals by important artists such as Paul Robeson, Marian Anderson, Leontyne Price, Martina Arroyo, Shirley Verrett, Grace Bumbry, Jessye Norman, Barbara Hendricks, Florence Quivar, Kathleen Battle, Harolyn Blackwell, and Denyce Graves.
Despite an unsurprising degree of conservatism in liturgical music, devotional life in Rome often found ways of taking advantage of modern musical style.
The birth and development of the oratorio, for instance, is a rich example of this, with Roman prayer halls harnessing contemporary theatrical music to evangelical ends. And certain liturgical contexts also seemed to invite modern expressive touches. The triduum sacrum, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of Holy Week, is a case in point; Tenebrae, the Office of Matins for these days, focuses on the poignant texts of the Lamentations of Jeremiah , the affective extremes of which were very well suited to the stile moderno. Much as the operatic lament became popular in the seventeenth century for its affective depth, so too did settings of the Lessons of Tenebrae.
The recording Lamentazioni per la Settimana Santa features a composite of Tenebrae settings by Roman composers, such as Carissimi, Frescobaldi, and Giovanni Francesco Marcorelli, all preserved in a single Bolognese manuscript (Civico Museo Bibliografico Musicale Q 43). Much of the music is recitative in character, some of it evocative of chant, though the Hebrew letters that preface the scriptural passages are often sublimely lyrical. And on occasion, the treatment of specific words will elicit a madrigalian touch. Carissimi's music here is somewhat restrained and controlled; Marcorelli's language is more extravagant in its musical rhetoric and expressive idiom; but all of the settings manifest the close synergy of affection and music that was fundamental to the new musical style. The settings then are intensely expressive, though rarely expansive. One exception might be one of the anonymous works where the Hebrew letters, instead of only prefacing the verses, come back internally as ritornelli, allowing for a more developed landscape.
The performances are impressive, rich in style and sensuous sound. Soprano Maria Cristina Kiehr sings with notable flexibility and pliancy—the wafting taper of some of her notes is simply stunning—and her tone quality seems almost paradoxically to be both pure and rich in body at the same time, somewhat reminiscent of the Spanish soprano, Montserrat Figueras. The contributions of Concerto Soave, a continuo ensemble of viol, harp, lute, lirone, and claviorganum, are strong. Certainly the richness of the sound owes much to the instrumental palette. And the accompaniment of the lirone—a bowed viol played chordal—is simply sublime. The size and variety of the ensemble allow for a number of different configurations, an "orchestrational" opportunity that is used to good effect here, as well.
The recording includes several instrumental pieces, democratically featuring the different players of keyboard, harp, lute, and viol. The keyboard "interlude," a toccata by Michelangelo Rossi, gives the rare chance to hear the unusual sound of the composite instrument, the claviorganum. The claviorganum combines both harpsichord and organ in one instrument; here, through the use of two manuals, one can play florid passages on the harpsichord while rendering chordal accompaniment on the organ, well serving the structure of Rossi's piece.
In Lamentazioni per Settimana Santa we hear the stunning musical echoes of the rich devotional life of seventeenth-century Rome. Brought to life through performances of great beauty, this is a recording to savor.
