The Effect of Individual Versus Collective Creative Problem Solving Experiences on Fourth- and Fifth-grade Students' Compositional Products.
Date: December 2004
Creator: Aguilar, Beatriz E.
Description: The purpose of the study was to explore the effects that individual vs. collective structured creative musical problem solving tasks had on students' compositional products. Subjects in a convenience sample of 32 fourth-graders and 32 fifth-graders were randomly assigned to either the individual or collective condition. The 3 treatment sessions were characterized by an open-ended creative problem solving task, which included questions intended to guide subjects through 3 stages of the creative problem solving process: Understanding the Problem, Generating Ideas, and Planning for Action. Subjects participated in the pre- and posttest individually. Three experienced music educators assessed the compositional products in terms of pattern use, cohesiveness, and creativity. The originally intended MANCOVAs could not be carried out because the data did not meet the necessary assumptions. Pretest and posttest scores were explored with individual ANOVAs. The Bonferroni technique was used to adjust the alpha level. The statistical analyses showed that subjects exposed to the individual condition obtained higher scores than subjects exposed to the collective condition on six of the eight explored subtests, but these differences were not significant. The level of interjudge reliability decreased at each of the three measurements of the study: pilot test, pretest, and posttest. The ...

An Investigation of Holland's Theory of Vocational Personalities and Work Environments As Applied to Undergraduate Music Majors
Date: August 1989
Creator: Allen, Michael, 1954-
Description: Holland's theory of vocational personalities and work environments incorporates four theoretical constructs (congruence, consistency, differentiation and identity) which attempt to explain sources in variability of achievement and satisfaction among employed adults and college students. This study sought to: (1) investigate the relationship of Holland's constructs to academic achievement and educational satisfaction of undergraduate music majors; (2) investigate differences in all variables according to gender and degree major. Data were collected from undergraduate music majors (N = 100) enrolled at the University of North Texas using the Vocational Preference Inventory. Mv Vocational Situation. and the Music Major Satisfaction Questionnaire. Reliability for the Music Major Satisfaction Questionnaire was estimated at .92 using Cronbach's coefficient alpha. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients indicated that: (1) congruence was significantly related to academic achievement and educational satisfaction; (2) identity was significantly related to academic achievement and educational satisfaction; (3) consistency was significantly related to academic achievement, but not to educational satisfaction; (4) differentiation was significantly related to academic achievement, but not to educational satisfaction. Multiple regression using a stepwise entry method indicated that: (1) the identity construct was the best predictor of educational satisfaction scores; (2) identity was the best predictor of academic achievement scores. The results ...

An Investigation of the Laryngeal Activity of Trumpet Players During the Performance of Selected Exercises
Date: December 1989
Creator: Bailey, Robert E. (Robert Elwood), 1946-
Description: The study's purpose was to describe selected laryngeal activity of brass-wind players during the performance of selected musical exercises. Research problems included the observation and description of three internal areas of activity of ten trumpeters as they performed each exercise. Specific areas of observation were 1) movement of the epiglottis during the performance of each exercise, 2) movement of the vocal folds/arytenoid cartilage which includes changes in the size of the glottis during the performance of each prescribed exercise, and 3) movement of the thyroid cartilage during the performance of each prescribed exercise. Musical exercises performed by each of the subjects included a sound volume change, use of vibrato, single-tonguing, step-wise descending and ascending slurs, descending and ascending lip slurs, register change, and a descending chromatic scale. In addition, each subject performed an excerpt from the second movement of the Haydn Trumpet Concerto. Data were collected through direct observation of subject performances and then described using three different means. Data analyses revealed a prominent amount of highly individual, non-patterned laryngeal activity which played an integral role in the performance of each subject. Individuals including Law (1960), Cramer (1955), Jacobs (Stewart, 1987), and Noble (1964) have advocated an unrestricted airway during ...

The Effect of Three Different Levels of Skill Training in Musical Timbre Discrimination on Alphabet Sound Discrimination in Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten Children
Date: May 2000
Creator: Battle, Julia Blair
Description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of three different levels of skill training in musical timbre discrimination on alphabet sound discrimination in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten children. The findings of prior investigations indicated similarities between aural music and language perception. Psychoacoustic and neurological findings have reported the discrimination of alphabet quality and musical timbre to be similar perceptual functions and have provided, through imaging technology, physical evidence of music learning simultaneously stimulating non-musical areas of the brain. This investigator hypothesized that timbre discrimination, the process of differentiating the characteristic quality of one complex sound from another of identical pitch and loudness, may have been a common factor between music and alphabet sound discrimination. Existing studies had not explored this relationship or the effects of directly teaching for transfer on learning generalization between skills used for the discrimination of musical timbre and alphabet sounds. Variables identified as similar from the literature were the discrimination of same- different musical and alphabet sounds, visual recognition of musical and alphabet pictures as sound sources, and association of alphabet and musical sounds with matching symbols. A randomized pre-post test design with intermittent measures was used to implement the study. There were 5 ...

An Investigation of the Influence of Evaluator Background on Appraisals of a Music Lesson Using the Texas Teacher Appraisal System
Date: December 1997
Creator: Bohnstengel, Carol
Description: This study's purpose was to investigate the differences in scores and written comments given by two appraisal groups in their evaluation of a music teacher using the Texas Teacher Appraisal System (TTAS). One appraiser group had musical training while the other group specialized in other subjects. Analyses of both group's appraisal scores showed no significant differences. An examination of the written comments revealed that both appraisal groups focused on the same aspects of the lesson and used similar vocabulary. The TTAS instrument was a consistent measure of generic teacher behaviors in the music lesson, but it did not measure specific music teaching behaviors or encourage suggestions for improving musical instruction.

Music Career Opportunities and Career Compatibility: Interviews with University Music Faculty Members and Professional Musicians
Date: May 2010
Creator: Branscome, Eric E.
Description: This study used a semistructured interview schedule to identify the music career opportunities available to students who graduate with an undergraduate music degree, and the skills, interests, work values, and personal characteristics that may determine a person's suitability for these music careers. Six university faculty members from each of the 11 NASM-accredited undergraduate music degree fields participated in the study (n = 66). Fourteen professional musicians who were recommended by these faculty members also participated in the study. Concerning the musical and non-musical skills that may determine a person's suitability for a music career, participants consistently noted the importance of performance skills in their respective fields. Participants also consistently cited people skills, and noted that most musicians interact with people on a daily basis, and use people skills to build social networks that may lead to employment. When asked about the interests that may lead someone to a music career, participants commonly cited the importance of good high school ensemble experiences in students' music career decisions. Concerning the rewarding aspects of music careers, many participants noted that they were more rewarded by the ability to support themselves doing what they loved, than by fame or wealth. Concerning the personal characteristics ...

Constructions of Choir Identity in a High School
Date: December 2014
Creator: Brimhall, Jennifer Pierce
Description: The purpose of this study was to investigate constructions of choir identity among high school choir students in the United States public school classroom setting. The research questions were (a) what are the processes involved in construction of choir identity and (b) how are the processes related to the group identity of the choir. The data were collected through participant observations in one selected choir classroom and semi-structured interviews with students from the choir class. The results included six processes of identity construction as well as identification of the ways in which each process was related to the choir group's identity. The processes and their links to the overall choir group identity provided further insight into the ways in which high school choir students construct their identities, and they also supported methods of teaching commonly used in high school choir settings.

High school string orchestra teacher as a career choice: A survey of 11th- and 12th-grade high school string orchestra students in Texas.
Date: December 2003
Creator: Brumbaugh, Sherron M.
Description: The purpose of this study was to describe 11th- and 12th-grade high school string orchestra students in Texas public schools in terms of their decision to enter the field of string orchestra teaching as a possible career choice or to pursue another field of study. Convenience sampling techniques were used to secure a study population of 1,683 high school string orchestra students. The Junior and Senior High School String Orchestra Student Survey (researcher designed) was used to gather demographic characteristics, students' perceptions on selected intrinsic/extrinsic work values, tangible elements of teaching, intrinsic characteristics of string orchestra teaching, and individuals assisting in students' career choices. Selected elements of teaching cited by students for their lack of interest in string orchestra teaching were also reviewed. Analysis procedures for descriptive statistics included measures of central tendency, crosstabulation, frequencies and percentages. Consistent with prior research, it was found that a larger number of female students over male students were interested in string orchestra teaching. Students interested in fields outside of string orchestra teaching reported higher class grades, more honors and advanced classes and higher SAT/ACT mean scores. Students interested in string orchestra teaching reported a higher percentage of brothers/sisters, mothers and fathers who played ...

The Effects of Free Play As an Instructional Tool on the Quality of Improvisation of First, Second, and Third Grade Children
Date: December 2000
Creator: Burger, Tammie L.
Description: To look at the effect of free play on the musical improvisations of first, second and third grade children, 108 children were randomly assigned to either a control or treatment group. Subjects were tested using a researcher-designed instrument to elicit an improvisatory response. The control group then received regular music instruction (120 minutes every 2 weeks) and the treatment group received regular music instruction in conjunction with musical free play (100 minutes of instruction and 20 minutes of free play every 2 weeks). The treatment lasted 14 weeks. At the end of the treatment, all students were tested with the same testing instrument used for the pre test. Videotapes of the improvisations were submitted to three independent judges to rate for quality on a 5-point Likert scale. The change in ratings between pre and post tests were analyzed with an analysis of variance to determine if there were significant differences between the control and treatment groups. The analysis of the data revealed no significant difference in the change of ratings between control and treatment groups for the group as a whole, or for any particular grade level within the total group.

The Best Film for MX: Fuji Provia (35mm, 100 ISO) User-Review5 13 Share Tweet
Everyone is familiar with the Fuji Provia - it is a very lovely film. Good to use for multiple exposure, but is not limited to just that. Greens, yellows, and blues will dominate your images. Yields good contrast and saturation even if it's expired.
There are films which can make me fall in love at first sight, upon the first development. Fuji Provia 100 – It gives all the shades of yellow, green and blue. Your images is dripping with acid colors all around, and I find it very contrasting and saturated, even if it's expired. Perfect to use for multiple exposure, you can easily do 3 overlays and the film won't wash out. If you want to make a multiple exposure – you need to make the setting as 400 ISO, and your colors will stay bright.

I've had this for about 1 week now. I normally don't like to purchase high end pricey mascara. Lately I've been getting frustrated with clumpy gooey drug store brands. Luckily I found this. It lasts all day, enhances eyelash length, and (best of all) is affordable.

This mascara is fabulous it makes my small lashes look a lot bigger! Dosent clump or flake or run. Its amazing and the price is also a plus. Its also hypo allergenic. Must try this!

It does exactly what it says, LENGTH, not volume, not seperation, ONLY FOR LENGTH. So because of this I normally use one that seperates lashes well then this one after it to give my lashes more length. I like it very much, but I don't think it's good solo. I would repurchase again though! I like how it feels, it's very light weight and it removes very nicely, no hard scrubbing!

This is a great daytime mascara. Very buildable, great texture, doesn't weigh your lashes down or make them feel cripsy (which i hate). The brush is my favorite part, it separates and lengthens very well! I love Boots products, it's high quality at a drugstore! I would definitely recommend this to anyone with short, stubby, sparse lashes like me. Keeps a curl well too. A little trick is to put this on as the first lengthening layer, then add another layer of volumizing mascara to give you that "night" look. Makes your eyes pop for sure!

I love this mascara! I just bought it yesterday out of Target, because I found out Lashblast tested on animals. I heard about it from an old video by an English youtuber who I love named SuperBeautyNerd. I can never buy the stuff she has because she lives in England, so when I heard her talk about No. 7, I flipped. I already loved this brand, so I decided to try this out. First of all, it's packaging is lovely. It's got this little snap cap so it won't dry out which I love. Second, the product is overall amazing. I'm wearing it right now, and it's almost up to my eyebrows. I have naturally curled lashes too, and it only makes it even more curled. Overall I have to say that this is just amazing!

Picked this up today at Target for about eight bucks and I'm very happy with it :) First off this is my first purchase from this brand, which as far as I can tell is the Maybelline or Covergirl of England, I read online it's the #1 brand there. It's a little pricy for DS kinda same price range as L'oreal. But I'm falling in love with this brand, their products according to MUA are mostly good, they're in my price range and they have classy packaging. This tube is bronze and has simple black lettering. The tube also snaps to a close like the L'oreal voluminous million lashes, which is oddly nice. Inside the brush is an ugly neon green though. Idk why they did that. I got this in the black/brown shade and when I first opened up it looked way too light like milk chocolate mousse colored but it's darker off the wand. Anyway the color worked for me since I'm pale, blonde and have green eyes but if you're even a little darker I'd do black instead, it's not a rich pigmented color but that doesn't bother me. Now this stuff is great it probably made my lashes 50% longer because now they're up to my eyebrows. The best part though is that you can keep building forever and it doesn't clump and only after combing through 10+ times do you get those ugly mini clumps at the tips. I can't imagine it ever clumping your actual lashes together though. Now this does add some volume especially after 3+ coats but I tried Voluminous paired on top and that worked too. This mascara can look super natural or be a little heavier. It's also super defining and it picks out every lash. I also usually get marks on my lid from the brush when I apply but that hasn't happened with this one :) Im just sad this doesn't come in WP in America.I wouldn't compare it to Lancome Definicils but I would say it's like Maybelline Lash stiletto 10 times improved. Will update on how well it wears, ability to hold a curl etc.
Update: It holds a curl very nicely if done after application of mascara, actually probably one of the best for that but it flakes LIKE CRAZY and this rarely happens to me. So on to the next mascara....

My fave mascara! I have it in waterproof and it works really well for my short thick lashes. Stays put, holds curl and leaves my lashes nicely seperated! I love it, just wish it was cheaper :(

I just purchased this and the lash 360 to use together after never having tried either of them. I put one coat of this on first and was very happy with how it looked! Beautiful length, zero clumping and it dries very very fast! That might be the only complaint is that i prefer something to be just slightly wetter.
I then put a coat of the 360 on and it made them look even more amazing! Same as the lengthening i wish it was just a little bit more on the wet side but it really is a beautiful product. I purchased the two together for less than it would have cost to get Diorshow, which was the one i was planning on purchasing next.
Waiting to see how it holds up throughout the day.

Absolutely love this. It is perfect for daytime. The shape of the brush plus the amount of product it picks up means that this is probably the only mascara I have ever found that I can just brush on and go, without using an eyelash comb. It just looks perfect all on its own. I even put it on when I'm on the tube and I know there's only half a stop left until I have to get off. It won't give you awesome volume, or extreme length for that matter, but it will give you beautiful definition that looks very natural, with absolutely no clumps. A bit too expensive since I don't think of No7 as being a high end brand, but ok, and affordable with a voucher.

I bought this because I like these plastic plastic bristtled applicators. This is a nice mascara. Not very heavy so better if you're looking for the natural look. It does run a little later in the day which is why my search for a truly great mascara continues.

For those of you that already have children, I was just wondering if you co-slept with your little ones. If so for how long and how did you transition them to their own bed once the time came?
We have an 18 month old at home that we still co-sleep with. Now with the news of our LO on the way it has raised the question of whether or not we continue to co-sleep with our toddler once the LO arrives or start getting her ready for her toddler bed. I don't really want to force our DD to sleep in a toddler bed unless she really starts to show interest or show that she is ready. As I mentioned in another thread our DD was extremely premature. She spent the first 3 1/2 months of her life in the hospital. It is so hard to build a bond through an isolette. Once we got home we worked really hard to make up for lost time. I don't want our bond to suffer because now there is a new baby. LO wouldn't be co-sleeping with us right away anway. We have a co-sleeper that attaches to bed for safety in the beginning.
For those of you who are having their first, what are your plans for sleeping arrangements? bassinet/co-sleeper/co-sleeping?

Health Watch -- Affairs of the Heart: Learn CPR
Health Watch is a Public Service of the Office of News and Publications and is intended to provide general information only and should not replace the advice of a medical professional. You should contact your physician if you have questions about any of these topics.
This week on Health Watch, we're talking about ways to keep your heart healthy, but it isn't just your own heart you need to be worried about. Doctors at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas say you can make a difference for other people's hearts by learning CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Nearly half a million Americans have heart attacks away from the hospital every year, but less than a quarter of the population knows CPR. Permanent brain damage can occur within about four or five minutes of a heart attack, and it's nearly impossible for medical personnel to respond that rapidly. That makes bystanders an important factor in heart attack survival.
Dr. Paul Pepe, chairman of emergency medicine at UT Southwestern, suggests organizing CPR classes for your neighborhood, office, church or school group so more people in your community will know what to do in an emergency.
February 2006
Health Watch is heard Monday through Friday nationwide on ABC Satellite Radio. Call your local radio station and ask if they carry the program.

An intramuscular (IM) injection is a shot. The needle goes into the muscle to deliver medication. This is usually done by a doctor or nurse. Sometimes, your doctor may teach you to inject yourself. IM injections are deeper than injections given under the skin.
A needle passes through skin and fat layers into the muscle fibers to deliver medication.

Some medications are better absorbed when given in the muscle. Other medications may be given in the muscle if you are unable to take them by mouth.
Some examples of medications given using an IM injection:
Complications associated with IM injections are:
To inject yourself:
Depending on the medication, there is usually some discomfort at the injection site. Soreness in the muscle is also common.
Tips for minimizing pain include:
Follow your doctor's instructions care required for the injection site.

Guess her petite frame didn't do much to help her situation. Maybe her sexy hips will slow it down long enough for help to arrive? She better hope so, as it isn't looking good for her at the moment...In other news, she looks DAMN good wearing that worm "suit". Part 6 of a commission series I had done by sketchlanza.deviantart.com/. He did an AMAZING job. Posted with permission.
It. Looks. So. Tight. Like a condom I hope she can breathe in there, I don't want this to end yet
Yell and cry for us. CRY CRY CRY ^_^
Oh God, why does this turn me on?
I need help...
I need help...
Embrace it, for it is your destiny. You know it to be true. Come to the dark side!
Bitch please, I was born to the dark side. But when it comes to people being eaten alive, I usually prefer my girls to be the ones doing the devouring. Vampire chicks are sexy as hell. Slimy slug-worms... Not so much...
That's good to hear. Ain't nobody got time for Luke and his goody twoshoes bullshit. I agree though, worms and such are gross, but they make a convincing predator. Vore just has to seem "plausible" to me for some odd reason. Human preds just don't seem "right" to me and never have, unless they have some strange mutation giving them the ability to swallow up beautiful girls. To each his or her own though!
What's so implausible about fanged people who stay young and beautiful forever by being killed, don't cast reflections in mirrors and survive on the blood of humans?
Not much more implausible than a girl getting swallowed whole by a giant worm, and surviving inside its digestive tract for several hours before it regurgitates her.
Now if I were on the wussy light side, I'd probably be weeping by this point and throwing my computer on a bonfire. Fortunately, my lightsaber is as red as anyone's.
Num Num
The best part is the imprint of the girls face through the monster's skin.
Again, nice.

In 2008 I was going through some major family issues, ones I am (even now) reluctant to publicly talk about. Often times I would feel I was alone in wondering if I would suffer the way I was watching those close to me suffer. I was lost, and while from the outside...
Channel Guide: 5 Television Shows That Need To Get On Netflix Already
- By Merrill Barr
- July 20, 2011
Recently, Netflix struck major deals with some television networks to bring more programming to the instant streaming service. And while that's all good and all, it's not enough. While all the movies are great, the instant streaming service of Netflix was (intentional or not) built for television shows. Nothing beats being able...

COLLEGE CLEARS CONSCIENCE BY CONFESSING CHEATING: Now there's something you haven't seen much of lately - honesty in football:
The CITRUS COLLEGE CLARION reports that just like a young George Washington coming clean about the cherry tree, the Citrus football team admitted to using an ineligible player.
The Citrus College Owls began their season with a 27-10 win over Orange Coast. However, the coach soon found out that their longsnapper didn't fill out the correct paperwork to play, so technically he shouldn't have been on the field.
The school reported the mistake and forfeited the victory. But now, the snapper has been okayed to join the team and get back to the work between his legs.
The college must have figured it was best to fess up now and be done with it, rather than possibly fork over $500,000 down the road.

The hotel is very clean and quiet, and our triple room was large enough for us. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
It's only 5 mins walk to leidse Plein where you will find plenty of restaurants and entertainment, and its also very close to the museums and canal boat tours. Tram stop is at the end of the street.
If you arrive at central station take the #1 Tram and get off close to the Marriott hotel.
Didn't eat in the restaurant so can't comment on that.
I would recommend this hotel when visiting Amsterdam.

Lomond Park Hotel
No comment, numbers say it all.
Not recommended, the worse place to stay in Balloch
The cleanness of the room was really poor.
The bedsheets were dirty and the towels smell like mould. It was quite disgusting to find another's guest hairs in the shower collapsing the drainer. We were advised of the noise of the nightclub but actually the walls, mirror and bed were vibrating. Impossible to sleep on a Saturday night. Also the hall and common areas smell like a take away shop. Really disappointed with the price charged for the poor quality
Read More Less
too big a price
Noisy, even though they said that it would be.
But the vibrations were felt when laying in bed and even ear plugs didn't quite help with the noise. The room was a little dirty and smelled weird. If the price would have been lower maybe it would have been all right.

Terrible stay, over priced, poor service
The service was sloppy, staff member on arrival was busy chatting to a friend who was drinking.
The room was in poor condition and one of the lights wasn't working. We were not warned that we would be able to feel, never mind hear, the music until 3pm. I asked to borrow an iron and ironing board on arrival (a pretty standard request I should think) and was given the one from the staff room, with its stained cover. The woman at reception on our leaving also attempted to charge us again for the prepaid room. Terrible experience all round.

Room was clean and tidy, we where advised about the load music on arrival which was fine, only thing was after having the music on till early hours of the morning we then where woken up early with the load clatter of bottles being put in the bin and it seemed to last for ever
Comfortable room
Lomond Park Hotel
Had a lovely time at Lomond park hotel.staff were friendly, and room was lovely, very comfy beds.
A very good band playing in bar at night which we didn't know about but was a good surprise.

Nightmare stay. Worst accommodation I ever stayed in.
On entry to the premises I was met by an over powing smell of old cooking oil.
The reception attendant handed me the key to my room, advised me where the room was with no checks to who I was. I handed my confirmation of booking to him as it was not asked for. The stairs and access to my room was dark and dindgy. On entring my room I was once again over powered by the smell of cooking fat, liking to a dirty transport cafe.I was unable to open one of the windows and there were no pull cords to close the blind. The paint work was in need of maintenance and the furniture was in need of replacement. The wall light shade at the side of the bed was damaged and away from the wall. The room its self was as I would describe as a small box room. The floors creaked and I was able to hear others in the hotel walking around and performing other activities, leaving nothing to the imagination. Needless to say, I did not manage to sleep more than a few hours, and ended up packing my bags and leaving the premises before 6am, prefering to sit in my car and taking breakfast elsewhere later that morning. On handing in my key I advised the reception attendant of my disappointment and complained about the condition of the room and the strong smell of the cooking fat. He said he was sorry but it was because the room was over the kitchen. The smell unfortunately was present on my clothes for the remainder of the day, a constant reminder of my bad experience.
Read More Less
Upon arrival at the premises, the gentleman who dealt with me was very helpful and polite.
However, once I got into my room 30minutes later the music came on for what felt like forever. I guess because my room was directly over the pub (I think) whilst lying on my bed, it felt as if I was sleeping inside a nightclub. The music was so loud so much so that, my friends on the phone could hear the music more than they could hear me. I am unsure what the accommodation is like during the week but avoid room 11 during the weekend.

I doodled this at work. I wanted something like Alien and this was what I got. Mainly I was just aiming for the matt black finish which has suffered a little, as i then tried to fix it with some supposed industrial fixative. Which it was, but it can also be called glue in a spray can. I had to remove the entire image from my sketch book, as it was sticking to other pages. Not surprised really as i got it of my dad who works at a place were fixatives are made and it had experimental written on the can. So he wasn't really to know. Hell I had to smash the cap off the can to get to the danm thing. In future sticking with hairspray. Unless I want to glue a chair to the wall, in which case this stuff will be really handy. Its still sticky after two weeks.

Watch out CSI, the Cicero Police Department is getting high tech.
The Cicero Police department is purchasing a crime response van, paid for by an $18,000 state grant, which will cover the entire cost of the vehicle. The modified cargo van will carry a substantial amount of the equipment crime scene technicians need when they hit the streets, which is a commodity for any officer on the go, said Cicero Police Chief Joseph Snell.
"Currently, whenever we need to analyze a crime scene, our technicians spend a good amount of time running to different facilities to get the proper equipment," Snell said. "Now everything they need will be in one centralized cargo van. It will allow us to operate for efficiently and timely."
Snell said crime vans are common among larger departments.
State Senator David Valesky, who presented a check to Chief Snell on Oct. 23 at the Cicero Town Hall, said his role in the purchase was relatively small.
These are your taxpayers dollars, so you're the ones who are buying it," Valesky said. "I'm not doing anything but sponsoring the grant and directing some funds your way."
To earn the senator's sponsorship, Cicero Attorney Mark Wladis, Councilman Vern Conway and Town Supervisor Chet Dudzinski took a trip to Albany with their financial wish-lists.
"We went down to talk to Valesky, who offered up some funding," Wladis said. "We had a few things we needed stuff for, and decided the police department needed it the moost."
Snell said the town board has been supportive and instrumental in procuring funding for the departments.
"I told them my needs, they tell the state, and the next thing I know we get a letter that says money's coming our way," Snell said.
Valesky said the money will be arriving from Albany within the next two weeks. Snell said no definite van model has been picked out yet.

Info Related to Disposing of Waste in Albany
Can C&D debris be put out to the curb in the City of Albany?
Limited C&D materials can be put curbside no more than twice per month on your regularly scheduled trash day. The construction debris must be organized neatly in containerized metal or plastic garbage cans tied in knots, and the waste must be manageble by one person.
If you have bulk C&D debris, a roll off container can be rented from a private hauler.
Does the City pick up commercial and industrial waste?
No. Any commercial, industrial, or mixed occupancy buildings must call a private hauler for regular garbage collection, containers and recycling bins.
More tips on renting a dumpster in Albany, NY
What type of waste is not allowed in a dumpster?
Certain wastes are banned from dumpsters for environmental reasons. Local, state and federal laws govern what's allowed to be dumped at landfills and disposal services must stick to these guidelines. These are the most common prohibited items:
- Household hazardous wastes (HHW), such as cleaners, bleach, paint and other chemicals
- Automobile fluids, such as motor oil, antifreeze and brake fluid
- Explosives, such as fireworks
- Any flammable liquid
- Sealed 55-gallon barrels
- Scrap tires
- Lead-acid batteries (e.g., car batteries)
- Debris containing asbestos
- Certain appliances that contain toxic chemicals, such as refrigerators containing Freon
Keep in mind that this list is not exclusive. Talk to your dumpster rental provider about its policies on prohibited dumpster wastes, as well as where the proper place to dispose of these items is located.
5 common types of dumpsters and how they are priced
Commercial dumpsters – Used for weekly/monthly trash hauling services at businesses, like restaurants and gas stations. These "front load" containers are generally not for temporary use and are priced by the number of pickups during the week or month.
Roll-off dumpsters – "Open top" containers you rent for temporary use at home, construction sites or commercial cleanups. Pricing method varies by company, but generally involves a flat fee with a set amount of weight included in the price. Additional weight costs more.
Dump trailers – An alternative to roll-off dumpsters used by some rental providers. It offers the advantage of being on wheels, which decreases the risk of damage to your driveway. Priced similar to roll off dumpsters.
Dumpster bags – Large 3 cubic yard bags are delivered or purchased locally and picked up by the provider when complete. For small amounts of debris. Purchase the bag (generally $30 - $40) and pay the hauler for the pickup (frequently in the $149 to $199 range).
Lowboys – Dumpsters with very low sides, ideal for loading heavy materials such as dirt, concrete or masonry. These are often required to be "clean" loads in order to get the best pricing. By clean, we mean only one type of debris. For example, a load of clean concrete can be taken to the concrete recycler rather than the landfill for a much lower disposal fee. Concrete recycling facilities do not accept "dirty" loads of mixed debris.
What are the most common roll-off dumpster sizes?
The most commonly available roll-off container sizes include:
- 10 cubic yard bins – Ideal for residential cleanouts
- 20 cubic yard containers – Versatile container can be used for a variety of cleanups
- 30 cubic yard dumpsters – Good size for handling foreclosure cleanouts or shed/garage demolitions
- 40 cubic yard dumpsters – Optimal container for new construction and demolition
1 cubic yard is equal to the volume of a 3 ft. x 3 ft. x 3 ft. object. A standard kitchen stove is approximately 1 cubic yard in size. Learn more about roll-off dumpster sizes.

REI - Santa Rosa: My place to go for outdoor gear
REI is a chain store found throughout the United State. They specialize in outdoor equipment and is a type of Co-op so you receive 10% back at the end of the year on all non sale items. It was good to find an REI in Santa Rosa. Although, it was at the end of my trip and I own just about one of everything in the store, I also stop in to a location to see what may be new. They usually do not all stock the same items and stock based on regional needs. This store seem to have more of a focus on water sports.
Good to know it is here, just in case I forget something on my next camping or backpacking trip!

Santa Rosa Plaza: Talk to the Hand
You can find just about everything you need at this enclosed, two-story shopping mall in downtown Santa Rosa. It looks like a brick warehouse from the outside but includes stores like Macy's California, Sears, The Gap, Charlotte Russe, The Disney Store, Victoria's Secret, See's Candy, Ann Taylor Loft, Suncoast Video, Eddie Bauer, and Aeropostale.
If the food court on the second floor isn't your style, try Fresh Choice on the first floor: cafeteria dining with a large salad bar, several kinds of homemade soups, fresh-baked breads and desserts.

Santa Rosa Farmers' Market: Farmers' Market
The Santa Rosa farmers' market takes place every Saturday until noon all year long at the Veterans' Memorial Auditorium at the corner of Brookwood and Maple, across the street from the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. It also is every Saturday except when the Wednesday Night Market is going on from May through August (see my tip on that event). While the farmer's market is part of the Wednesday Night Market, the real farmers' market takes place at this location and it is much larger. It has grown significantly over the years and one can eat lunch and breakfast here from a variety of vendors, buy a large array of produce, much of it organic, buy great jams, sauces, Afghan food. There are also several seafood vendors selling fresh or smoked fish and shellfish, knife sharpeners, and the like.
What to buy: Produce, honey, fish, etc.

Montgomery Village Shopping Center: Upscale Shops
Montgomery Village Shopping Center is more of a girlfriends'-outing type of a place than a place where you'd bring the family: the shops there tend to be more expensive and specialized than those in Santa Rosa Plaza.
That's not to say that there aren't bargains to be found there. I was lucky enough to hit a "buy 2 shirts and get the 3rd one free" sale at J. Jill, and I found some heart-shaped rose soaps at Birds Nest Antiques for $1.49 each.
Other stores include Coldwater Creek, Ann Taylor, See's Candies, Chico's, Sharper Image, and Copperfield's Books.

Treehorn Books: Wonderful Small/Used Bookstore
This is our favourite bookstore in all of Sonoma County (especially now that Read Moore Books in Petaluma has, sadly, closed - RIP!). It's small but crammed with books up to the ceiling.

What to buy: Books!!!
What to pay: It depends. Many books and calendars can be had for low prices.

This is a great store for yarn and other knitting materials. They also over a range of classes, workshops, and a weekly knitting session as well. My wife loves this place and although I don't knit or crochet, this place makes me want to.
What to buy: See above.
Bataeff Salvage: Junk and Scrap
This is a salvage yard where one can find, literally, all kinds of junk. Sometimes, one can get just what one is looking for. They have a large yard and sheds full of scrap metal, old barrels, wheels, parts of various things, and more. You just wander around and see if there's anything you want.
What to buy: Junk, scrap items, metal, parts of things, etc.
Skirt Chaser Vintage: Nice Vintage Clothing
This is a neat store that sells vintage clothing with an emphasis on 1950s and the like. It has a great selection of such clothing and items, some tiki stuff, etc. It is located, now, in the Railroad Square area of downtown, so convenient short walk from the hotels there or the parking garage at the mall on the other side of the freeway.
What to buy: Vintage clothing and related items, especially 50s and the like.
What to pay: It depends.
Bottle Barn: Great Liquor Store - Huge Beer Selection, etc.
Bottle Barn is a large local liquor store and is certainly overall the best liquor store in the entire region north of San Francisco. It has huge, varied selections of wine, beer, and spirits and generally very good prices.
It is without a doubt, overall the best place around for beer, with a huge selection of beer, including local craft brews, other craft beers, and many imports as well as basic standard "macro" beers. They stock many beers from the East Coast and abroad that are hard or impossible to find anywhere else in Northern California aside from occasional appearances at some other stores in San Francisco, etc. They also have soda pop, a wide range of beer, wine and cocktail glasses, sauces, olive oil, etc. The Belgian and California craft selections are excellent and quite varied. The British and German selections are slightly weak on the "standards" but have many good beers, including rotating choices, that are less common ones which one can almost never find elsewhere. They also have with a good Czech selection (but it tends to rotate) and plenty of uncommon beers from Eastern Europe, Turkey (Efes), Africa, etc.
Spirits and liqueurs are well represented with pretty much anything one could hope to find around here.
The wine selection is huge
What to buy: Beer, wine, spirits, plus some other stuff.
What to pay: The prices are lower than most places and on par with Beverages and More overall.
- Wine Tasting
- Beer Tasting
Snoopy's Gallery & Gift Shop: Snoopy/Peanuts Items
This is the gift shop for the Redwood Empire Ice Arena/Snoopy's Home Ice and the Charles Schultz Museum. It was a wide range of Snoopy and Peanuts memorabilia and souvenirs.
What to buy: Snoopy/Peanuts/Charles Schultz stuff.
What to pay: It depends.

Traverso's: Great Deli and Gourmet Foods
This is a great deli/gourmet foods store that has been in Santa Rosa since the early 1920s. As the name indicates, it has a rather Italian emphasis, although this hardly dominates the store. It has a great selection of cured meats and other deli meats, cheeses, and the like. Of particular note, it sells the excellent Fra'Mani brand salame and other cured meats (a high-end specialty cured-meat maker in the Bay Area), which are simply outstanding. One can get great sandwiches here, too, with their meats and cheeses, as well as all kinds of things to cook or to make a great picnic, etc.
It has a very good wine selection with an unusually good range of wines from South Africa, Portugal, and the like, as well as the more usual places like California, Italy, Chile, Australia, etc. It also has a good range of harder-to-find wines from places like Greece and Lebanon, as well as a very nice range of ports.
Traverso's also has a great selection of treats like wonderful, slightly sweet, slightly caraway-flavoured olive-oil crackers from Spain, lots of olives, chestnuts, jams, spreads, pastes, tea, coffee, British foods, etc.
It always used to be downtown but, in what I think is a misguided and groundless move, they have now moved to far northern Santa Rosa in the Fountaingrove area. The store still seems to be basically the same in terms of having quality foods, spirits, etc., though.
What to buy: All kinds of things. See above. We particularly love the Fra'Mani salames, and many places don't carry the brand, and the Ines Rosales olive-oil crackers. It's also the only place around that I know of which normally stocks Gilka Kummel liqueur and Lemon Hart 151 demerara rum (a rich rum which puts other overproof rums to shame).
What to pay: It depends. Overall the prices are good considering the products. Some things are more expensive than at other stores, but some are cheaper and many are about the same you'll find elsewhere. They have Ty-Phoo tea cheaper than other places.
- Food and Dining
Railroad Square Basement Antiques: Antiques, Especially Glass
This is a neat antique shop that is fairly small but full of stuff. The store specialises in glass and similar products, and provides services to find the age, origina, etc., of glass one might have. It can easily be overlooked because it is just off the main area (4th St.), around the corner on Wilson and through a small, nondescript doorway in the basement of the Landmark Lee Bros. Building.
What to buy: Antiques, especially glass.

A major new report spells out what science can, and can't, do to help provide nutritious food for all. Co-author and GFS Champion Tim Benton provides an inside eye on the Milan Expo 2015.
The first 'Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations' famously took place at Crystal Palace in 1851. It spawned a regular series, of which the 99th Universal Exposition will take place in 2015 in Milan, Italy, on the theme Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life.
Continue reading The role of research in food and nutrition security
The word 'nexus' seems to be cropping up everywhere, but what does it mean for food security? Global Food Security Champion Tim Benton explains.
Following Christmas, often an annual festival of demand and excess, maybe January is the time to think about demand-management. At the end of last year, I was involved in a flurry of meetings with the term 'nexus ' in the title. Nexus essentially means interconnectedness, or binding together.
Continue reading Nexology for the New Year
Now is the time to build food security capacity, and there are funds to do it. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Christina Owen reports.
On the Agricultural Development team at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, we're working hard to put ourselves out of a job.
The primary way to ensure this happens is for individual countries to develop and own their own sustainable agricultural systems, and to make them work for their farmers.
But what does this sustainability look like?
Continue reading Pay dirt: Growing sustainable agricultural development systems
How can young agricultural entrepreneurs make the most of the continent's opportunities? Sir Gordon Conway of Agriculture for Impact reports on the Montpellier Panel's latest report.
The time has come to debunk a common myth about agriculture. It is not a dead-end profession that requires eternal, back breaking labour on a farm. At least, it does not have to be. With the right investments to support entrepreneurs in agriculture beyond the production stage, in processing, retail, marketing and even business management, profitable careers await Africa's young population.
Continue reading Why Africa's youth should not shun agriculture
Politics and economics are getting in the way of better food. The Global Food Security programme's Sarah Nicholson reports.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally and are predicted to increase by 15% between 2010 and 2020 (PDF), and the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as CVDs and diabetes are to a large extent determined by dietary factors. In Europe, our diets have changed to include higher levels of saturated fats, sugars and salt and lower levels of dietary fibres, fruits and vegetables.
Continue reading Do European agricultural policies encourage the adoption of unhealthy diets?
Food scarcity remains a fundamental cause of violent outbreaks across the world. Bryce Evans investigates the issue.
The use of food as a strategic weapon is well established. Texts as ancient as the Chinese Art of War and the Roman De Re Militari advocate denying the enemy food. The contemporary conflict in Sudan provides a case in point in the cynical application of this ancient wisdom. There, the government intensifies bombing in rebel areas at harvest time, destroying food. In turn, the country's rebels seize humanitarian food supplies intended for refugees.
Continue reading Let them eat carbines
Agricultural markets in sub-Saharan Africa are fragmented for the people who need them most. Two new reports set out the solutions, says Michael Hoevel.
Population in Africa is set to almost double to two billion by 2050, and current food production systems in Africa will only be able to meet 13% of this increased demand (PDF).
At the same time, across Africa it is estimated that 80% of the population depends on agriculture for their livelihoods. Transforming this sector's markets will not only help address food insecurity and undernutrition, but it can also unlock Africa's trade and development potential more broadly, if implemented responsibly and sustainably.
Continue reading Linking African smallholder farmers to markets
We should not fear failure when looking for novel food security solutions, argues Christina Owen.
In the business world, the motto "fail early, fail often" is frequently hailed as the formula for success. It is also the key tenet behind one of the most effective learning methods in the history of humanity – trial and error.
One can imagine how many errors were made as humans learned how to make and control fire, sow and harvest plants, build sturdy shelters. And it is the systemic process of trial and error that has allowed science and invention to produce history-altering discoveries and innovations like antibiotics, incandescent light bulbs, and the cellular telephone.
Continue reading Freedom to innovate
A natural virus could control devastating pest outbreaks and improve food security for thousands of farmers. In a special video diary, Ken Wilson reports on a long weekend in Zambia.
"We have arranged for you to meet the Vice President at 10am on Sunday. Is this OK?". That was it, my trip to Zambia was definitely on and I had just a few hours to prepare for my field visit and meet one of the country's top politicians who was leading their efforts to manage a food security crisis.
But as you can see in the video below (which you can also watch on YouTube, or in a shorter 03:50 video feature), this visit turned out to be rather different from the rest.
Continue reading Video blog: The hunt for African armyworm
The Montpellier Panel launch their latest report at the Houses of Parliament. Ramadjita Tabo reports.
Only one country in Africa, Ghana, will meet the first Millennium Development Goal of halving hunger and poverty by 2015. New solutions to Africa's food and resource scarcity challenges are thus being sought as the world develops the next set of global development goals post-2015.
One such solution, sustainable intensification, has proved controversial yet offers real promise, even to small-scale farmers, if it can be redefined and adapted to suit these farmers' local contexts.

Three Angels make All-Overpaid Team
Some players hurt their teams statistically. Some hurt them financially. And some do both, writes Rob Neyer.
Updated: September 1, 2005, 3:52 PM ETBy Rob Neyer | ESPN Insider
When you talk about players who are overpaid, there are some who want to turn the discussion into a matter of values. As if players could do better if only they had the integrity to try harder. And sure, that's very occasionally true. But nearly every player wants to play well, and if players aren't playing well, it's because they can't.
Nevertheless, it's fair to point out the players whose numbers don't come close to matching their salaries because the disparity has a significant impact on their teams' fortunes. It's a double whammy: High-paid players with lousy stats waste both money (that could be spent elsewhere) and playing time (that could be given to better, probably cheaper players). So here, then, as we enter the last month of the season, are the players who have hurt their teams the most:
C: Jason Kendall (9/9, $10.6M)
The third of those numbers is Kendall's salary this season, and the first set of numbers describes where Kendall ranks among the catchers with enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting title.

Internal illustration for RuneQuest's bestiary, Monster Coliseum, Italian edition. ©2011 Asterion Press, all rights reserved.
I dont know how you did it, but one can sense the strength of this creature! I like as well the realistic looking oily skin. This one reminds me of Boris Vallejo's work, he likes to paint those snaky creatures.
Thanks! I was actually looking through a lot of Frazetta's artworks when this piece was commissioned to me, but Vallejo influenced me as well, I think (even though it wasn't intentional).
Molto bella la pelle, l'effetto viscido gocciolante è venuto molto bene. Anche i particolari rovinati sulla cresta rendono molto. Mi piace!
Grazie!!! Ho avuto un po' di problemi perché in realtà è nata come tavola in bianco e nero, ma sono abbastanza soddisfatto del risultato (almeno per ora)

dsolve/numeric/lsode/advanced - numerical solution of ordinary differential equations
Calling Sequence
dsolve(odesys, numeric, method=lsode, options)
dsolve(odesys, numeric, method=lsode[choice], vars, options)
dsolve(numeric, method=lsode[choice], vars, options)
set or list; ordinary differential equation(s) and initial conditions
literal name; instruct dsolve to find a numerical solution
literal equation; numerical method to use
literal equation; numerical method and submethod to use
(optional) dependent variable or a set or list of dependent variables for odesys
(optional) equations of the form keyword = value
This page describes the advanced use form of the lsode method for the numerical solution of ODE initial value problems. The general usage of this method, including the choice of the sub-method, is described in dsolve[lsode].
The advanced use optional equations for method=lsode are as follows:
The itask parameter is an integer index specifying the type of task to be performed. It can have the following values:
normal computation of output values of yt (by overshooting the endpoint and interpolating)
take one step only and return
stop at the first internal mesh point at or beyond the endpoint and return
normal computation of output values of yt at the endpoint without overshooting tcrit (tcrit is the critical time value that integration should not pass; it can be equal to or beyond the endpoint, but must not be behind the endpoint in the direction of integration)
means take one step without passing tcrit and return
The default value is 1.
The ctrl parameter c is a vector of floating-point numbers and integers with length at least 21+neqns (where neqns is the number of equations in the system to be considered). The first 11 values are optional inputs, and the remaining positions are reserved for optional output values. The correspondence of meanings and individual vector elements is as follows:
c1=rtol where rtol is a relative error tolerance parameter. The default value is Float(1,-7).
c2=atol where atol is an absolute error tolerance parameter. The values of atol and rtol determine the error control performed by the solver. The solver will control a vector ei of estimated local errors in y according to an inequality of the form rms-norm of eiewti≤1, where ewti=rtolyi+atol and rms-norm is the root-mean-square norm. Use rtol=0 for absolute error checking, and atol=0 for relative error checking. The default for atol is Float(1,-7).
c3=tcrit where tcrit is the critical independent variable value which must not be passed (only used for itask = 4 or 5). Its default value is x0+0.1.
c4=μ where mu is the upper half-bandwidth required for banded Jacobian methods excluding the main diagonal.
c5=ml where ml is the lower half-bandwidth required for banded Jacobian methods excluding the main diagonal. The band is defined by the matrix locations: for row i and column j with i−ml<=j<=i+mu. ml and mu must satisfy 0≤ml, μ≤neqns−1.
c6=h0 where h0 is the step size to attempt on the first step. If h0 is not specified, the default value is determined by the solver.
c7=hmax where hmax is the maximum absolute step size allowed. The default value is infinite.
c8=hmin where hmin is the minimum absolute step size allowed. The default value is zero (Note: This lower bound is not enforced on the final step before reaching tcrit on itask=4 or 5).
c9=maxord where maxord is the maximum order to be allowed. The default value is 12 for Adams methods and 5 for backward differentiation. If maxord exceeds these defaults, it will be reduced to the appropriate value.
c10=mxstep where mxstep is the maximum number of (internally defined) steps allowed during one call to the solver. The default value is 500.
c11=mxhnil where mxhnil is the maximum number of error conditions of t+h=t of a step. The default value is 10.
c12=istate where istate can have the following values on output:
nothing was done as tout was equal to t on input
the integration was performed successfully
an excessive amount of work (more than mxstep steps) was done during the call before completing the requested task
too much accuracy was requested for the precision of the machine being used
illegal input was detected before taking any steps
there was repeated error test failures on one attempted step (the problem may have a singularity)
there were repeated convergence test failures on one attempted step (this may be caused by an inaccurate Jacobian matrix if being used)
indicates ewti became zero for some i during the integration (i.e., pure absolute error control was requested on a variable that has now vanished)
c13=hu where hu is the step size in t last used.
c14=hcur where hcur is the step size that was to be attempted on the next step.
c15=tcur where tcur is the current value of the independent variable which the solver has actually reached (i.e., the current internal mesh point in t). At output tcur will always be at least as far as the argument, t, but may be farther (if interpolation was done).
c16=tolsf where tolsf is a tolerance scale factor greater than 1.0, computed when a request for too much accuracy was detected (istate=−3 or −2). If rtol and atol are scaled up by a factor of tolsf for another call, then the solver is deemed likely to succeed.
c17=nst where nst is the number of steps taken for the problem so far.
c18=nfe where nfe is the number of function (differential system) evaluations for the problem so far.
c19=nje where nje is the number of Jacobian evaluations for the problem so far.
c20=nqu where nqu is the method order last used (successfully).
c21=nqcur where nqcur is the order that was to be attempted on the next step.
c22..21+neqns=acor1..neqns where acor is an array of size neqns used for the accumulated corrections on each step scaled on output to represent the estimated local error in y on the last step. It is defined only on a successful return from lsode.

I no longer work at Microsoft, so please don't bother leaving a comment here or trying to contact me through my MSDN blog.
You can find my new blog at http://www.technologytoolbox.com/blog/jjameson. My new site also provides copies of all posts from my MSDN blog.
This past May, one of my colleagues notified me of a new tool called "Rooler" that allows you to easily measure anything displayed on your screen.
I definitely consider this tool a "must have" for anyone out there doing Web development. While tools like Firebug and the new developer tools in Internet Explorer 8 are great for analyzing the layout of Web pages, I often find myself using Rooler when tweaking CSS rules in order to achieve that "pixel perfect" design. For example, yesterday I was working on styling the new customer service portal that I'm working on and I wanted to match the customer's current .com site. Rooler enabled me to identify the dimensions of the header and margins of various elements with almost no effort whatsoever.
If you haven't already discovered Rooler, I strongly recommend you download it today.
