In the world of Turtle Island, there is nothing unusual about a string quartet playing the music of Jimi Hendrix or John Coltrane.
Performing the music of such rock and jazz greats along with such styles as bluegrass and funk has amazed people enough to earn Turtle Island Quartet two Grammy awards. Since its creation in 1985 by San Francisco Bay-area violinist David Balakrishnan, the quartet has been a groundbreaking force in the creation of bold trends in chamber music for strings.
Turtle Island is a reflection of some of the most creative music-making today cellist Yo-Yo Ma has said.
The group will perform in Potsdam on Thursday, Friday and Feb. 2 as part of the 2012-13 Community Performance Series.
The Thursday and Friday performances in SUNY Potsdams Sara M. Snell Music Theater will be a collaboration with Chicago-based Luna Negra Dance and Theater Co. On Feb. 2 the quartet will perform its much-lauded Jimi Hendrix and John Coltrane program, Have You Ever Been ...? in SUNY Potsdams Helen M. Hosmer Hall.
The quartets albums A Love Supreme: The Legacy of John Coltrane, in 2007 and Have You Ever Been..?: The Music of Jimi Hendrix and David Balakrishnan in 2010 won Grammy awards for Best Classical Crossover Album.
Mr. Balakrishnan was born in Los Angeles and was received classical training on the violin as a youngster. But he also enjoyed rock n roll and other musical styles.
He was 14 when he heard Jimi Hendrix perform at the Los Angeles Forum.
When I heard Jimi Hendrix play guitar, it was like getting kicked in the stomach, Mr. Balakrishnan said from his California home last week. It was like falling head over heels in love. I remember my mouth was just hanging open; completely awe-struck.
He had to learn how to play guitar.
When you have that sort of passion as a teenager, you do anything to make it work, he said.
But something happened along the way.
I had this violin and I could play it much better, Mr. Balakrishnan said. I came to the realization that those licks they were playing on guitar with the amplifier turned really loud for feedback, you could do on a violin with nothing. And if you could play violin with the right kind of inflection, you could make it sound like a rock guitar.
Mr. Balakrishnan said the style flipped people out.
Nobody was doing that in my scene, he said. I became very popular in a weird kind of way that I never expected. You combine that popularity with love, and you get a career.
In the late 1970s, while Mr. Balakrishnan was in his early 20s, the music of bluegrass and jazz artist David Grisman captivated him.
It was like chamber music the way he was integrating folk music with jazz and classical music, he said.
Mr. Balakrishnans ground-breaking work continued in 1981 when he undertook a masters degree program in music composition at Antioch University West, San Francisco, where his integration of jazz, European classical, American folk and Indian classical music led to the creation of Turtle Island Quartet. It is named after creation mythology found in Native American folklore.
Even back then, it was deeper than the novelty of string players playing jazz, Mr. Balakrishnan said. It was bringing together the performance practices of these two styles European classical and American jazz.
Turtle Island Quartets revival of improvisational and compositional chamber traditions have not been explored by string players for nearly 200 years, Mr. Balakrishnan noted.
Turtle Island Quartet is not trapped by the classical idiom as players, Mr. Balakrishnan said. As the years go by, many more players are coming out that are multi-stylistically trained. But Turtle Island, in my mind, is still the best at it and Im very proud of that. Its exciting to watch this all evolve.
Other members of Turtle Island Quartet are Mark Summer, cello, Mateusz Smoczynki, violin, and Benjamin von Gutzeit, viola.
Mr. Balakrishnan said the quartet is forming tracks for its next album, which will be its 16th.
It has given us 28 years of living and a couple of Grammys, Mr. Balakrishnan said of his creation. I think it stands for a very important way of presenting a beautiful 200-year-old tradition while at the same time enlivening it and giving it legs so it can expand.
n n n
For the two concerts with Luna Negra Dance and Theater Company on Thursday and Friday, Turtle Island Quartet wont be delving into its well-known improvisational style.
Its quite challenging for us to do, Mr. Balakrishnan said of the structured dance music. But I love it because the elements are carefully put together and they interact with the dance beautifully.
The Luna Negra performance on Thursday will feature a world-premiere piece by Spanish choreographer Fernando Hernando Magadan, with an encore performance Friday. It also will perform The Naked Ape, also choreographed by Mr. Magadan, and 18+1, which was choreographed by Luna Negra Dance Theaters artistic director, Gustavo Ram�rez Sansano.
Founded in 1999 by Cuban-born dancer and choreographer Eduardo Vilaro, the Luna Negra Dance Company celebrates the rich Latino culture and is well-known for its choreography, educational programs and performances. It has become an integral part of Chicagos cultural community while also touring in the U.S. and internationally. According to the Boston Globe, the troupes nine members dance as if its the last night on earth.

Love the shoe
I LOVE this shoe. I am surprised that others wrote the shoe was not comfortable for a long period of time. I work Retail and am on my feet for 8 hours straight. I can wear these shoes for my whole shift and then some without any discomfort. It is hard to find a fashionable/comfortable shoe. I love them so much I just ordered 2 more pairs.

Ogdensburg City School Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey outlined the changes that will be coming to the districts administration over the next several months at Mondays Board of Education meeting –drawing criticism from Education Association President David G. Price.
The changes are being made as Assistant Superintendent and Committee on Special Education Chair David J. Valois plans to retire at the end of the school year.
The restructuring will see Madill Elementary School Principal Debora Hannan becoming the director of the districts special education program and middle school Principal Kevin Kendall becoming the director of curriculum instruction and assessment.
Pamela Luckie, currently the assistant high school principal, will become the middle school principal and Paula Scott, the principal at Lincoln and Sherman Elementary Schools, will become the principal at Madill.
Athletic Director Anthony Bjork will continue to work with the schools athletic program but will be brought onboard as the assistant high school principal.
Additionally the district plans on hiring an assistant principal who will start at Lincoln Elementary School before moving to Kennedy Elementary School when Lincoln closes in the summer of 2014.
Mr. Vernsey said the restructuring will save the district $137,000 with retirement of Mr. Valois, cutting the coordinator of technology position, and an elementary teacher position which will be lost to attrition.
But Mr. Price said the move amounts to raiding the districts teachers in order to beef up the administration.
Mr. Price noted that in the past five years 58 teaching positions have been lost, largely to attrition, while no administrative positions have been cut.
If were going to lose someone, now is the time, Mr. Price said, citing Mr. Valois retirement. Losing through attrition is the way to do it.
In the last couple years all weve heard is were going to have to do more with less. Thats not what were being shown, he added.
Mr. Vernsey said with the new common core curriculum and teacher reviews the district cant function with fewer administrators.
Its really just shifting responsibilities, Mr. Vernsey said of the restructuring. Its keeping the same number of administrators.
Mr. Price said Mr. Vernsey is dead wrong about the number of administrators.
Currently Mr. Bjork is a teacher and will be pulled into the administration. With the plan also calling for the hiring of a new assistant principal, Mr. Price said the administration will actually increase from eight to nine administrators next year.
In addition, Mr. Price said, Mr. Kendall, Mrs. Luckie, Mrs. Hannan and Mr. Bjork will all see raises.
The plan equates to giving four people raises and hiring an extra administrator, Mr. Price said.
But Mr. Vernsey said, The overall savings [of $137,000] doesnt make any difference where its coming from.
Mr. Vernsey also reminded the Board that there was never any discussion of shrinking the administration.
Mr. Vernsey will present the totality of the administrative restructuring plan at the next Board meeting on May 13.
Mr. Price said, Our stance is very simple, while we understand that the budget situation requires sacrifice we were under the impression the sacrifice would be shared.

OKPOSO OUT 4-6 WEEKS (FROM TODAY)1:50 pm – Team identifies injury as "sprained wrist"
UPDATED 1:50 pm – Last Wednesday, Scott Gordon thought Kyle Okposo might be ready to play in 2-3 days. Now, Okposo – who had what the team termed a "hand injury" – is out 4-6 weeks with a sprained wrist.
To clarify, the clock on the 4-6 weeks starts ticking today, not from when Okposo was first injured.
"We wanted to build for all of our young players for next year," said Scott Gordon, "and now for this to happen to Fransy (Nielsen) and Kyle, it's really a shame. That's lost time you can't get at a young age."
Looking for a positive, the coach added, "When they get back, they should be hungry and have lots of energy."
Greg Logan asked Gordon if, with the loss of Nielsen and Okposo, the franchise would consider looks at a prospect or two in Bridgeport. Gordon said those are conversations he would have with general manager Garth Snow first before talking to the media.
(Hey, at least Go-Go didn't say, "No frickin' way, Logie"!)
Either way, big setback for Kyle, a talented kid making strides. Moderate setback to the rebuild. Assuming the team continues to be hesitant to recall Blake Comeau or Trevor Smith from Bridgeport, the Islanders are not getting younger.

There needs to be a lot of Adjustments
It means that over the remaining nine games of the regular season, D'Antoni if he even wants to stay needs to figure out how to coach Anthony a lot better than he has. It means that he has to change his system to fit his talent, because the best coaches always have to do that….
After the Knicks lost to the Bucks Friday night, Anthony talked about D'Antoni's offense and said it was "something I have to adjust to."
No. In this case, the coach has to adjust to him.
You coach to your talent. You coach the team you have, not the team you had. I like Mike D'Antoni, and his best teams have been a lot of fun to watch. But ultimately the job of an NBA coach is to create double-teams, not be constantly victimized by them. So they can still swing the ball around on the outside the way they did before, but their best chance to create double-teams is to pound the ball in to Anthony and Stoudemire a lot closer to the basket.
Put it another way: Nobody gutted the team so that Toney Douglas could get more time and more shots.
The Knicks, despite the way they are playing, still should be better off with Anthony than without him. He is one of the best scorers in his sport, up there with anybody you care to mention, and didn't suddenly forget how to score the ball. But the Knicks are no longer built to shoot fast. They're just not. With the talent they have on the court now, they are getting killed in transition when the shots stop falling.
Again, people have selective memories. The pre-trade team wasn't always fun to watch. That's an exaggeration.
The Knicks get killed in transition because no one has ball responsibility. Stopping the progress of the basketball doesn't happen until well past half court. Watch the first clip early in the first quarter. What on earth is Shawne Williams doing? He switched on the screener for absolutely no reason and forgot to tell Stoudemire, who lost site of the ball. This is March. How does this happen? And they wonder why they give up 60 points in the first half?
Carmelo got killed by Stephen Jackson, but why not put Derrick Brown on the court, someone who probably guarded him every day in practice then move Melo on the slow footed Diaw?
Yes, this is no secret to anyone around here and no it isn't news to me. But this defense is worse than it's ever been and that's a scary thought this late in the season.

Hello everybody,
I'm a newbee to php and have (I think) a fairly easy question.
I've developed a search form wich takes all descriptions out of a table and puts them dynamicly on the form:
<input type="checkbox" name="description$temp" value="description">
$temp is a variable wich changes everytime he loops trough te while.
My problem is the following: I need a way to confirm if a checkbox is checked and after i've got them all, I need to search them in a different table. Sounds Complicated ?!
I hope someone got the answer for me.............
Greetz Helgo Rongen.
P.S. if you need further details regarding the question, I will gladly give them to you.

Sedu Professional 1½" Flat IronListen To Me!!!1.Brush your hair and take all of your knots out. 2.Do not put any hairspray or sticky chemicals in your hair before you strighten. 3.Use the correct temperature setting, some flat irons have there setting in celsius,to conver celsius do: 95 times the temperature in celsius and add 32. 4.Do one area at a time, banana clips are usefull! 5.After you are done, spray a hair polisher in to get luminate shine. 6.Wash your hair every other day,washing it every day is damaging! 7.Use deep conditioner and let it remain in your hair for three min. Here is a top for blow drying your hair: after your hair is dry, most blow dryers come with a cool button, hold that button down for one min any you will get better results.Reply to this post

Sedu Professional 1½" Flat IronProduct & Volume SuggestionsIf you want to ensure your hair will be healthy and shiny even after all the flat ironing, you should try Pureology hair products. When Im going to straighten my hair, I use the SuperStraight shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Once my hair is dry, I put some SuperStraight Relaxing Serum in it to protect from the heat of the iron and add shine. But dont use too much or your hair will feel greasy. Once Im done straightening, if I want some extra shine, I use just a little of the ShineMax from Pureology. The SuperStraight system comes in blue bottles and the ShineMax comes in a little purple bottle. They have products for colored hair as well that are supposed to help retain the color longer. All these products are pretty concentrated so you dont have to use much of any of them. They can be found at many salons but they arent cheap. If youre willing to pay the price theyre truly worth it. My hair has never been softer or healthier. If you find your hair is too flat after ironing, try turning down the heat a little. This makes quite a difference for me in adding some volume.Reply to this post

Sedu Professional 1½" Flat IronStraight, Silky, Healthy HairMy hair WAS frizzy, curly, Poofy and all out ugly, it looked like brown cotton candy after a tornado. it is color treated. now it is smooth, silky, the most shiny and swingy straight i have ever seen. i never thought i could have hair like this. i tried everything and have finally figured out the best way to get my hair to look so good. what works, you ask? here is what i do:I used Easy Straight 3 month strightner-follow directions to a tee! you may not need this, follow my tips first! my hair now is straighter, and takes only 1/4 of the time to dry but still not perfect yet- Shampoo and condition and towel dry GENTLY-do not mash or scrub the hair-only the scalp-gently smoooth the hair shaft from top to bottom-dont rub the hair up and down, and to dry, gently press moisture out of the hair in a towel. use the products you like-read the ingredients-you will be surprised to see the same ingredients in the less expensive products that you find in the pricey ones. USE a deep conditioner once a week-leave on for half an hour or more, wrap in a hot towel or use plastic bag/cap with a blow dryer. ALWAYS RINSE WITH COOL WATER! Use a clarifiying shampoo every other shampoo. try not to wash every day, i wash my hair 2-3 times a week)Air dry-or blow dry using a blow dryer with an ION switch-this really helps. use a gentle setting--you dont want a windstorm--and use low heat. dont dry it till it is bone dry-and point the dryer down the hair shaft to keep the cuticle closed-use your fingers to gently separate hair to get roots. dont brush or comb when it is wet--this is when the hair is most vulnerable to damage. when your hair is 75% dry, use a wide tooth comb to take out knots from the ends first working your way up to the roots. separate into four sections with the claw clips. use a ceramic flat iron-i hear the sedu does not snag your hair-so i am saving to buy one. to flat iron-i use a brush that looks like a flat iron with bristles-the one i have is ceramic, and locks with a button when closed over the hair strand. use small strands-i follow the brush with the flat iron down the hair strand--keep the iron moving-make a few passes, then clip the straightned lock out of the way. i start at the top in the front and work my way down and around to the back, one side at a time. i clip the finished piece over the top of my head onto the other side, and add more finished hair to the clip. it took a little practice, but now it only takes me around 45 minutes as opposed to the 4 to 5 hours it used to take before easy straight and the ceramic brush and flat iron. when i am done, if my hair is full of static, i use my favorite scented fabric softner-i put a drop-the size of a pea-and rub into my palms and smooth through my hair-darn it smells soooo goooood! no fly-aways and shiny! i dont use any product in my hair to iron it, it stays clean longer and has more body. product which seals the hair shaft actually pops like popcorn when heat is applied. very damaging. apply product after flat ironing if you have to. also important is the temp of the flat iron. if your hair shaft diameter is thin, use a lower setting, more on the thick side, a higher temp is better. keep the iron moving, alternate the pass of flat iron brush with the flat iron, LET THE STRAND COOL before you clip it out of the way. for me, a high temp actually seem to help my hair avoid frizzing in rain and high humidity, straightens faster and the it lasts until my next shampoo(sometimes a whole week). i use the flat iron at 400 degrees, i have a very thick hair diameter. when you start at the bottom back of your head, hair seems to tangle up. the way i do it, the finished hair is out of the way, on top at the other side and the unfinished hair is out of the way down below, while you iron a strand straight out from your head between the two. lifting and resting the hair up and over also give the root a little lift so your hair is not flat against your head when finished. and finally, practice, practice, practice! dont give up, it gets easier each time you do it! Good Luck!Reply to this post

Sedu Professional 1½" Flat IronSedu....tips For Straightening Your HairThe SEDU is MUCH, MUCH better than the CHI. I believe its in the technology of the plates. This product is AWESOME Here are the steps I followed. I just posted pictures under the Customer Review section. So please feel free to check out my before and after pictures. 1. Wash: Wella Color Preserve - Smoothing Shampoo for Coarse, Frizzy Hair - 12oz = $13.95 2. Condition: Wella Color Preserve - Smoothing Conditioner for Coarse, Frizzy Hair - 12 oz = $13.95 3. Leave In Conditioner: Wella Color Preserve Detangler - 12 oz = $14.95 - Sit under hair dryer for 10-20 minutes.....let it get 75% dry 4. LOreal Studio Line Hot Straight (Heat-Activated Straightening Cream) - 5 oz = $2.99 - Put in hair before blow drying hair completely, you may need to section the hair in 4 parts (depending on thickness & length) 5. John Freida Extra Strength Hair Serum - 1.69oz = $7.99 - part hair in 4 sections, put serum on hair, THEN USE YOUR SEDU AT the desired temperature (i used 360*)........ 6. Final shine (takes any static the hair may have out)....use KeraCare Conditioning Creme Hairdress - 4oz = $10.00 - I use this b/c my hair tends to be dry and I need the extra moisturizing. I put this on my hair after Ive completed my flat ironing and I also use it twice daily: 1x in the morning and 1x in the evening before bed. SEDU is AWESOME....heats up quick, very light weight. I used the 360* temperature, I thought I needed the highest setting, but it gets nice and hot!!! Ive always gone to the salon to have my hair professionally done, so Im new to doing my own hair. I did lots of research before buying the Sedu and its MUCH better than the CHI, which is what most black hair stylist use in their salons. I was fed up with relaxers and not proper maintenance of my hair so I deceided to take the step of no longer getting a relaxer and doing my own hair. I did get a good cut/trim a week ago a great Salon in Chicago, a good cut, wash & deep condition goes a long way, which will give you better results! GOOD LUCK!Reply to this post

Sedu Professional 1½" Flat IronUse Sedu In Conjunction With A Healthy Hair Regime - African American Natural HairSedu is a fabulous product for my natural, super curly African American hair. But it must be used in conjunction with a healthy hair regime. Here are five steps to a fabulous, wavy curly look. Step 1: Moisturizing shampoo (my favorite is Phytocadamia, available at Neiman Marcus or online). Step 2: Moisturizing conditioner (my favorite is Phytojobo Restructuring conditioner - Neiman Marcus or online). This is the most important step. Preferably once a week, use heat to condition the hair. You can use this by sitting under a hard hat, or using the Corel portable plastic cap dryer (very convenient). Corel is available at Sallys. I can always tell when I skip the deep conditioning step. Dont quote me, but I think the deep conditioning opens the hair shaft and makes it more susceptible to adding condition to the hair, which makes it softer and smoother. Step 3: Dry/style the hair (rollerset). I first apply about 3 quarter sized dollops of Aveda elixir (leave in conditioner). I also spray with a protein spray (I use D. Low protein spray, made by a woman in Atlanta who specializes in pressed hair, but any spray that will add strength to the hair will work). I then section off my hair using a wide tooth seamless comb (the white Madora comb available online). Next, I add a dimes worth of Kiehls silk groom (available at Neiman Marcus), and roller set my hair. Because my hair is near bra length, it takes a minimum of 1 hour and 45 minutes to dry. But the time passes by using my Corel plastic cap dryer, because I can take a nap while my hair dries. Step 4: Flat iron with Sedu. I prefer to use some form of heat protectant, and an oil based pressing cream. I like Biosilk Silk therapy (available at Ulta) as a heat protectant, but it does absolutely nothing for moisture. Therefore, I use a pin drop of Keracare pressing cream (available at Ulta) or Coconut oil (a solid butter like substance that turns into a smooth oil when rubbed between your fingers, available at most health food stores) on each section that is flat ironed. Using a small amount keeps my hair soft, but not overly greasy or weighed down. Step 5: If I am styling my hair at night, I then roll my hair using satin covered velcro rollers (available at select Walgreens, usually the ones in an ethnic neighborhood). I roller set while my hair is still warm, which helps to set the curl. The result: Awesomely soft, smooth, curls or waves, depending upon which size roller you use. Sedu is an awesome product, and an important step in my regime!Reply to this post

Was great fun!

Union Special sewing machine
Just inherited this Union Special sewing machine and so am seeking information on its history and worth. It looks industrial. The feed dog is obviously made to pull some heavy material. If you know anything, please email me at email@example.com. Thanks.

Many thanks for your posting. Clearly, value has much to do with condition and details that are not evident through a snapshot or two. However, there are several Union Special brand sewing machines listed in the Worthopedia, and they range in selling price from around $50 to $500. Do you have a model number or more details on its condition?
In terms of the company, in 2006 it celebrated its 125th anniversary. Here is everything, and more, about the history of the company: The Needle's Eye - Up Front: History of Union Special

After allegedly hitting multiple cars lined up outside the Time Warp Tavern, 302 State St., a city man was charged Saturday with aggravated driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident.
Watertown police said Luke M. Shaugnessy, 34, of 1217 State St., struck the back of a 2008 Subaru owned by Anthony J. Foster. Reversing from the crash, Mr. Shaugnessy pulled forward in the parking lot, then reversed into a 2008 Kia owned by Brooks Haynes and a 2006 Toyota owned by Christopher J. Spicer, police said.
A police sketch indicated there were no other vehicles in the parking lot at the time of the crashes.
Police said Mr. Shaugnessy then drove to a nearby parking lot on the 100 block of Union Street.
Police said a witness to the second crash, Antonio P. Derrigo, was able to follow Mr. Shaugnessy and take away his keys.
Mr. Shaugnessy was arrested at 6:09 p.m. His blood alcohol content was measured at 0.25 percent, police said. A BAC of 0.08 percent or more is considered proof of intoxication under state law. Aggravated DWI is charged when the BAC is 0.18 percent or more.
He was processed and held at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building pending arraignment in City Court.

Index to Letters of the Tennessee Governors
Download the free Acrobat Reader to view .pdf files.
The official papers of Tennessee governors beginning with the territorial governor, William Blount (1790-1796), form an extensive collection at the Tennessee State Library and Archives. This collection contains such varied items as letters discussing both local and national political events of the day, petitions from Tennessee citizens, gubernatorial proclamations, and commissions for everything from state militia officers to county sheriffs.
This index lists the various letters and other official correspondence of Governors William Blount, John Sevier, Archibald Roane and William Carroll. It gives the names of those who wrote to and received letters from the governors as well as a brief summary of the contents. The governors' correspondence sheds light on the events and circumstances that shaped the time in which the letters were written as well as the people who wrote them. This index has been prepared to bring little-known material to light, and to make use of the correspondence easier.
Names preceded by an asterisk ( * ) indicate that a transcription of the item is located in that folder but not necessarily the original item. A question mark in brackets indicates that an item is difficult to read or unclear.

Hi to all readers! I'm moving this blog (or at least I'm moving my intention to write ) to a new address. I'm thankful to Florent Thoumie (and possibly others) who have been hosting and managing this collection of post as a part of the blogs.freebsdish.org system. I'm happy with the hosting and the reason I'm moving is to write about other things beside FreeBSD (which falls beyond the agreement for use of this hosting service).
The new blog system is very new and will probably take some time before all the kinks are fixed but it will do for now. I don't intend to write here anymore, but I also have no plans of moving old posts to the new system, since blog posts are ephemeral anyway. So update your bookmarks, feed readers, etc. to the new address.

Love Free or Die Community Cinema Seattle Screening
Love Free or Die tells the story of Gene Robinson, who in 2003 became the first openly gay priest in a committed same-sex relationship to be ordained a bishop in any Christian denomination. But his consecration has brought the Episcopal Church in the United States to the brink of a catastrophic schism, and has resulted in threats of violence against Robinson himself (he wore a bulletproof vest to the elevation ceremony). But with his beloved husband Mark at his side, Robinson continues to calmly make the case that who you love doesn't determine whether God loves you.

Another top-tier Planar headphone
Pros: Outstanding sound at a price that is very attractive in the realm of high end headphones
Cons: Requires a very powerful partnering amp to get the best out of them.
Now that I have spent time comparing the HE-6, LCD-2, Edition 10, T1, and HD800, I thought the time was right to put down a few thoughts on the HE-6, which are, when properly amped, a TERRIFIC headphone. The HE-6 have incredibly transparency, and a very wide-bandwidth delivery that is remarkably even and smooth. While they have just a slightly lively treble, this is more an elevation overall than a single peak, and their treble performance sets them apart from the HD800 and Edition 10, which have more issues in the treble. The bass is just slightly less in weight and quality than the LCD-2, but nonetheless outstanding. And the mids are just...(read more)

Frederick Law Olmsted
Mike Segar/Reuters
Frederick Law Olmsted was born in Hartford in 1822. When he was 3 his mother died, and there was then a stepmother and other children while he was sent away to a series of rather odd schools, an experience that left him susceptible to depression and gave him a taste for solitary rambles in the New England landscape. His father, a dry-goods merchant, was a loving man and patient with this son, who seemed directionless for a long time, first trying farming, then going to sea, then reporting extensively on slavery in the South, publishing several books and eventually going into publishing himself. Though a handsome young man of good family, Olmsted had as much trouble finding a wife as he had settling on an occupation. In the end he married his brother John's widow, with whom he raised several children and stepchildren; he was a faithful husband, albeit one who was often taken away from his family by work.
In 1857, Olmsted managed to wangle a job as superintendent of the Central Park, as it was then called, in New York, a project that was just getting under way. A publishing venture had failed, and he was personally in debt. When the architect Calvert Vaux suggested that they enter the competition for the job of actually designing the park, he agreed: it is typical of Olmsted that he fell by happenstance into the work at which he became a genius. The jury was divided between Democrats, who, paradoxically, were attracted to formal European designs, and Republicans, who liked the English picturesque style that Olmsted had studied intensively in travels abroad. The Republicans were in the majority, and they all picked the submission by Olmsted and Vaux.
Olmsted believed in the restorative power of landscape for ordinary people. In a time of neo-classical fervor, he disliked straight lines. He loved contrasting textures, but it was a cardinal rule with him to blur the boundaries. The architecture of Europe impressed him, but trees were his true love.
Another reason for the humble way Olmsted,didn't think of landscape design as a legitimate profession, wore his talent could be that landscape design came to him so naturally. He mapped out a city plan for all of Buffalo in a couple of hours.
In Olmsted's midlife, work came to him plentifully, but power politics and budgets that had a tendency to dry up continued to plague him. The decision of a Buffalo official to build his own house in the middle of a public green is an example of the sort of obstruction to his vision that he frequently encountered. In that case Olmsted prevailed. Rarely did he have a free hand. An exception was Biltmore, George Vanderbilt's estate in North Carolina. -- Susanna Lezzard

Soon you will not have to go to the city clerks office to get a birth, marriage or death certificate.
Thats because youll be able to request them electronically from the comfort of your home and have them mailed to you.
City Clerk Ann M. Saunders has arranged for a Tennessee company, VitalChek Services, to allow customers to use a remote ordering system over the Internet and through a link with the citys website to obtain those certificates.
Users will be charged a $7.25 handling fee through a credit card, up from the previous $6 fee, when the new system is implemented in the coming weeks. Both overnight and international shipping of the certificates will be available.
In the past, customers would have to request them in person at the clerks office or via fax machine, which often delayed the process, Mrs. Saunders said.
Itll be much more efficient, she said. Its much more user friendly.
The states Vital Records Department, as well as many municipalities across the state and country, have hired the company, she said, adding there is no cost to the city to provide the service.
Customers can view in real time the status of their order. Email notifications are sent for order confirmation, payment authorization and shipping details that include the tracking number for overnight shipping, Mrs. Saunders said.
VitalChek assumes all financial responsibility and verifies customers identity. The company is providing all of the equipment, supplies and employee training to the city.
The VitalChek service is among a series of new services that the city has implemented in recent months for convenience and efficiency of city customers. Residents now can use credit cards to pay online their city of Watertown/Jefferson County property tax bills, in addition to city water and sewer bills.
The city also recently placed ATMs in City Hall and at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.

When shown footage of people celebrating President Obama's support of gay marriage, Takeshi said, "Obama supports gay marriage. You would support a marriage to an animal eventually, then."
Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, and that seems to be his. But recently, Takeshi explained or walked back his remarks, telling AFP, "I was only talking about people who love their pets so much that they may think of marrying them."
"There is no way I look at gay people the same as animals," added Takeshi, "let alone implying sexual relations with animals."
It's not his clarification that's the problem (that's muddled enough as it is), but the original comparison.
In many countries and cultures, not consummating a marriage is grounds for annulment. Some religions dictate that marriages must be consummated. Not taking this into consideration not only shows tremendous cultural and religious insensitivity, but insensitivity towards gay people.
If Beat Takeshi doesn't think gay people should get married, that's his opinion. He is entitled to it—Japan has freedom of speech. But he should simply say he doesn't believe in gay marriage and not draw oblique comparisons to people marrying their pets. These are two separate issues.

Sleek look, Tailored Fit.
For a custom-fit look, this three piece t-cushion cover will not disappoint you. Our separate pillow cover is designed to cover your removable loose back pillows! With the zipper closure it's easy to remove for machine washing. Memory stretch fabric and all-around elastic provide a clean, sleek look that goes on easily and stays in place.Fiber content: 94% polyester / 6% spandex. Machine wash separately in cold water, gentle cycle. Only non-chlorine bleach when needed, tumble dry low, do not iron. Imported."I received my slipcover yesterday in the mail and can't tell you how happy I am with it! Thanks for coming up with a slipcover for a pillow back t-cushion sofa!"Amy A., OH
Poor sizing
I have a petite sofa with small rolled arms. I tried the sofa, then the loveseat sizes and neither worked. The sofa size was huge; the loveseat was too tight. In addition, the arms did not fit well. It was unfortunate, as I did like the style, workmanship and fabric. I would try your product again if you made a T-cushion petite version that scaled better on the arms.
This slipcover is fantastic! The color, the fit, ease of placement.....everything about it! I will be ordering two more very soon!
These are a must have for old or new furniture!
I have a T cussioned sofa and loveseat set that I love but was stained due to years of hard use. I got the sofa and loveseat three piece Stretch Pique in chocolate brown. My couch is 93 inches and at first I was sure it would not fit the sofa. My 19 year old daughter and I kept trying and almost gave up before we found that if we worked together stretching it to the limits and moving in sychrony over the very tight parts evenly and carefully we were able to get it on the couch. It wound up being a perfect fit but a few more incheson the sofa cover would have helped and reduced the risk of tearing. We had no problems with the loveseat. The back and front of the sofa gets completely covered with plenty of give with no fear of it tearing from use. The look is very presentable. Not quite like the origianal couch but still classy. I will still use them when I replace the sofa and loveseat to protect and extend their life in daily use and remove the covers for special occasions.
I just recently purchased the sofa, loveseat and chair three piece slipcovers. I am very pleased with the product and a few people thought i purchased new furniture. I only wish I had ordered the ottoman cover when i made my initial purchase. I am about to do that now. Thank you Surfit for this wonderful product!!!!!
Wonderful look. Made old out of date sofa look new. Glad not to have purchased a new sofa. Great for our condo that we rent out. Easy to clean. Just whip it off & wash!!
Best cover ever!!!
I have an oversized cream couch I've had for 5 years. No matter how much I washed, It looked dingy, but the look and style are still current. I have the pillows that are not attached and T cushioned seats. Well, I bit the bullet and brought the couch and chair cover. Best investment ever, now my furniture will last another 5 - 10 years and I totally transformed the room with the Taupe color ( light brown). Plus I ordered on a Tuesday, It arrived Saturday morning. Thanks Sure fit!!!!
Super Pleased
Our T-cushion sofabed was a very sore spot in an otherwise lovely room. The reupholstering quotes were more than the price of a new sofa, so I finally gave in and spent the money to have this slipcover (in cream) shipped to me in Canada. We've had it for 6 weeks now and IT IS AWESOME. The fit is perfect with a few minutes of adjusting. When we use the sofabed we just semi-remove the main piece before pulling out the bed (and spend a few minutes adjusting it when putting it back together). A reservation I had before purchasing was that somewhere on the site someone commented that their pets' claws were snagging the fabric and the cover looked terrible shortly after purchase. I'm happy to say that our two clawed cats (who are the reason the sofa was in poor condition in the first place) have not caused a single snags or pull, even though they still sleep and walk across it and sometimes (though far less frequently) scratch at the sofa. Well worth the purchase.

Dodgers are negotiating a contract with Zack Greinke
Ken Gurnick of MLB.com says the Dodgers are negotiating with RHP Zack Greinke, although Dodgers GM Ned Colletti hasn't said the two sides are close to an agreement.
Yesterday, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports said Greinke could agree to a deal within the next couple of days.
Michael Baron, ContributorIf Greinke signs with Los Angeles, that could be the best possible outcome in terms of determining how the trade market for starting pitching unfolds. This would leave the Rangers, Angels, Red Sox, Royals and Blue Jays all looking for front-line starting pitching – most of which have rich farm systems to which teams like the Mets and Rays can choose prospects from – and there is a huge drop off on the free agent market behind Greinke. If Texas loses out on Greinke, I wonder if they will begin to aggressively pursue acquiring R.A. Dickey. They have reportedly shown interest in Dickey as a fallback option to Greinke, and Texas has young players such as Mike Olt who can ultimately become a "difference maker" Sandy Alderson seeks. On the other hand, if Greinke were to sign with Texas, they would likely shop Derek Holland, adding another pitcher to the market which would increase the supply..

Francisco Rodriguez in custody on assult charge
As of 7:20 am, Francisco Rodriguez is still being held in the detainment center in Citi Field, according to 1010 AM in New York.
Original Post at 4:47 am:
According to SNY, Rodriguez was charged with third-degree assault after an altercation with his father-in-law at Citi Field on Wednesday.
Unbelievable. It never ends…
The Daily News reports:
"Rodriguez and his wife's father brawled in a tunnel just outside the Mets clubhouse in the moments following the team's 6-2 loss to the Rockies… Investigators believe the hotheaded closer threw at least one punch during the 10:15 p.m. scuffle, which spilled out of the team's Family Lounge."
He will be arraigned Thursday morning at Queens Criminal Court.
The police said Rodriguez was taken in to custody after the altercation, which left his father-in-law with a bump on his head – he was being detained overnight at the Citi Field precinct.
"A uniformed police officer walked into the clubhouse shortly after Rodriguez walked out of it through a pair of double doors," reports the New York Times.
Rodriguez was involved in shoving match with bullpen coach Randy Niemann earlier this season, which both sides chalked up to a 'miscommunication.'

The Utah Education Association (UEA) honored 10 teachers from around the state with its Excellence in Teaching awards and presented Arch Coal with an Honor Roll award at its Superstars in Education banquet last week.
Among the honored teachers was LuAnn Sorensen, a special education preschool teacher at Ferron Elementary School in the Emery County School District.
In addition to recognizing outstanding educators like Sorensen, the UEA presented an Honor Roll award to Arch Coal for its demonstrated commitment to Utah schools and teachers.
Arch Coal and its foundation sponsor the Arch Coal Teacher Achievement Awards program and the UEA Excellence in Teaching awards as well as supporting several programs for Utah's schools and youth, said UEA Execu- tive Director Mark Mickelsen.
Wess Sorensen, general manager of the Skyline mine in Helper, received the award on behalf of Arch Coal. Wess Sorensen and LuAnn Sorensen are not related.
"Arch Coal, through the Arch Coal Foundation, is now in its seventh year of honoring Utah teachers with Arch Coal Teacher Achievement Awards," Mickelsen said. "Five teachers each year in Carbon, Emery, Sanpete and Sevier counties have been given $3,500 personal cash awards.
"Arch Coal has demonstrated its commitment to public education and to Utah teachers through its ongoing efforts and truly exemplifies the statement that education excellence is everyone's responsibility," he added.
Excellence in Teaching award recipients are nominated by their peers and chosen based on their work with individual students or groups of students. Each winner received an award and a check for $1,500, courtesy of the Arch Coal Foundation.
State Sen. Aaron Osmond also received an Honor Roll award, and a Charles E. Bennett Human and Civil Rights award was presented to Dr. Forrest Crawford, Weber State University assistant to the president for diversity.
The UEA has sponsored the Excellence in Teaching awards since 2000. This is the Arch Coal Foundation's second year as title sponsor for the awards. Key Bank sponsored the banquet.
For more than a century, the Utah Education Association has been dedicated to preserving and en- hancing Utah public education. The UEA is the largest public education employee association in Utah, representing more than 18,000 active classroom teachers, retired educators, administrators, licensed edu- cational support personnel and campus student organizations. The UEA has local affiliates in each of the state's 41 school districts, Applied Technology Colleges, and the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind.

I have an exterior painted wall and am interested in installing a stone veneer. I realize that I may have to install wire mesh to the areas but I'm wondering if there is a material that can be used to apply to the stone to the painted wall without mesh? Or should the paint be removed as much as possible then attach the wire mesh and apply a scratch coat?
You need mesh. While veneer is a fraction of the weight of full stone, it is not light. The mesh forms a framework that the bonding material will surround and be inseparable from it (absent smashing with a hammer). The mesh is firmly attached to the underlying structure with fasteners (type depending on the nature of the siding).
In this case, the painting of the surface makes no difference.
Getting mortar to adhere directly to an existing concrete, stucco, brick or stone surface is not simple, especially when there is a tendency of the attached material to pull away from that surface. Adding to a horizontal surface (like a concrete floor, steps or walk), there is mostly a compression force (pushing the surfaces together), and bonding makes more sense. On a vertical (or overhead) surface, where the force is tension (pulling away), this makes less sense.
I think you need the mesh.
A sand blaster is your tool of choice for removing the paint and leaving a good surface for the mortar to stick to.
Do note that one purpose of the mesh is to help hold the mortar in place while it sets up. It also helps to prevent future cracks from shifting.

Evanston, IL (Sports Network) - D.J. Newbill and Jermaine Marshall each finished with 18 points to lead the Penn State Nittany Lions over the Northwestern Wildcats, 66-59, in a Big Ten Conference bout at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
Sasa Borovnjak added a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Nittany Lions (10-19, 2-15 Big Ten).
For the Wildcats (13-17, 4-13), Alex Marcotullio finished with a game-high 22 points, while Reggie Hearn chipped in with 11 points.
Penn State connected on 47.8 percent from the field in the first half, including 5-of-10 from beyond the 3-point arc, as it took a 34-30 advantage into the break. Northwestern made just 36.4 percent of its shots from the field and 3-of-8 from 3-point range.
After halftime, the Nittany Lions continued to shoot well from the field, making 50 percent of their field goal tries, including 2-of-7 from 3-point range. They held the Wildcats to just 33.3 percent shooting and 5-of-15 from 3-point range. After trailing for most of the half, Northwestern rallied to take a 54-53 lead with just over six minutes to play, but an 8-1 run by the Nittany Lions State put them back ahead for good, as they grabbed their first conference road victory of the season.
The Nittany Lions dominated down low, outscoring the Wildcats 28-12 in the paint and outrebounding them, 38-23.

One family takes fighting cardiac disease to heart'
Cardiac health is something that the Henry family takes to heart.
When Bill Henry had to undergo surgery recently to fix his ailing ticker, it was his daughter Kelly who helped him work through it.
The biggest piece of advice I told him was, Dont let statistics tell you whats going to happen, Kelly Henry said.
Most teenagers would be at a loss for how to deal with something as dramatic as a serious cardiac operation. But for Kelly, surviving heart surgeries is something shes been doing for as long as she could remember.
Kelly Henry, 17, a senior at Peters Township High School, underwent her first surgery when she was just 6 months old. She was born with a condition called mitral stenosis, which caused the mitral valve in her heart to constrict.
I was given my last rites three times before my first birthday, Kelly said. I kept getting pneumonia and would turn blue. Nobody could figure out what was wrong with me.
After her pediatrician diagnosed her problem, Bill and his wife, Gloria, were given a very tough decision regarding their daughter.
My parents had the choice to pull the plug or opt for a surgery with a 25 percent chance of survival, Kelly said. None of the doctors thought I would survive. Luckily, they chose to go for it.
Kelly survived that first operation and many more in the following years and is now a strong advocate for the American Heart Association. She was recently named co-chair for the annual Washington Heart Walk fundraising event, along with her father.
Kellys parents have been volunteering for the American Heart Association for years Gloria is a member of the Washington branchs board. But this years Heart Walk, to be held Oct. 6 at Consol Energy Park in Washington, should prove to be an especially memorable event for Bill.
This will mark almost two years since Bill underwent and survived a risky operation to correct congestive heart failure. It will also fall on his 52nd birthday.
It definitely brings things home, Bill Henry said. It makes you realize how fortunate you are to have the health care we do. Otherwise, I dont think either of us would be here.
Bill Henry, CEO of Southwestern Group, said his recent experience surviving a heart condition has made him a more motivated volunteer.
If our efforts through fundraising can save one family from going through what we had to go through, it will be worth it, he said.
Kelly has been working hard to excite other young people to get involved. She said she persuaded her coworkers at Harrys Pizza to donate their time to work at the event and hopes to see many of her friends from school getting involved.
So far, the heart walk has reached $43,000 in donations toward its $100,000 fundraising goal. They hope to get to their target with help from a kickoff event at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29, at Waterdam Plaza in McMurray and through donations on the day of the walk.
Kellys dedication to fighting cardiac disease does not stop with her fundraising efforts. In order to help alleviate the types of conditions that have affected her family, Kelly wants to become a cardiologist. She said she hopes to start her pre-medical studies at Pitt or Duquesne University next fall.
I grew up always being in the hospital for surgeries and check-ups, Kelly said. I fell in love with the idea of being a cardiologist when I was small. I could walk the hallways and see the difference they were making.
I decided that I wanted to be a cardiologist and help kids myself.
