Christopher Hobbs Movies and Career Information
Nov 30, -0001
Actor and Writer
Christopher Hobbs (September, 1950 – Hillingdon, nr London) is an English experimental composer, best known as a pioneer of British Systems music. Hobbs was a junior exhibitioner at Trinity College, London, then was Cornelius Cardew's first student at the Royal Academy of Music from 1967. Hobbs worked with Cardew and Christian Wolff: he joined AMM, appearing on two albums: The Crypt and Laminal. In 1969, Hobbs was a member from the first meeting of the Scratch Orchestra, and, as its youngest member, designed the Scratch Orchestra's first concert, at Hampstead Town Hall on 1 November 1969. His early composition Voicepiece, part of his Verbal Pieces group, was used often enough to be called a Popular Classic in the Scratch Orchestra nomenclature. As experimental music was hard to come by, Hobbs gathered sheet music from friends and founded the Experimental Music Catalogue in 1968 as a distribution centre. Various pieces were eventually grouped into a series of Anthologies according to themes: the Verbal Anthology (of text-notation music), Keyoard, and Educational Anthologies are typical. These anthologies published works mainly by British experimentalists, but also works by Christian

South Sudan crisis: Vaccinations help protect children in refugee camp

By Lizzy Ongoro
KAKUMA, Kenya - In northern Kenya, the International Rescue Committee recently launched a major vaccination campaign for children living in the Kakuma refugee camp. Many of the camp residents are from South Sudan, with approximately 370 newcomers arriving daily.
The campaign, which occurred during the week of February 10 in collaboration with UNHCR, the U.N. refugee agency, targeted children up to age 15 for polio vaccines and children between six months to 15 years for the measles vaccines.
"We had targeted 50,000 children," says Dr. Milhia Kader, who is leading IRC's emergency response in the area. "In fact, we immunized a total of 62,509 children under 15."

The initiative comes in the wake of a measles outbreak. Earlier this month, the IRC medical staff had attended 89 cases of measles, with one reported death—a one-year-old child who presented other complications.
"Of the 89 measles patients seen so far, 88 have been children under 15 years old," explains Dr. Kader. "This is why carrying out the vaccination campaign has been so vital."
Dr. Kader notes that measles can be deadly for malnourished children, and that the IRC is committed to protecting children from polio.

"I honestly don't know if I'll ever get over this," she recalls telling the musicians in the closed-door meeting. "I don't think you have a clue who I am." Then she spelled out what she knew about the BSO: The group was $17 million in debt, its concert hall was often nearly half empty, and the orchestra hadn't made any major recordings since 1999. "And I know I can change all of that," Alsop declared, because she recognized in the BSO the same force that had driven her since the age of nine: "There was passion there." She sketched her vision for the orchestra, then stated she would not sign her contract without the musicians' support.
It's not clear whether the orchestra members were chagrined by the bad publicity, moved by Alsop's speech or resigned to the fact that they were not going to win this particular battle with management. But what happened next changed the path of Alsop's professional life. Jane Marvine, then head of the players' committee, spoke up: "You have 110 percent of our support." When Alsop took the stage to conduct the BSO as its music director for the first time, in September 2007, the crowd gave her a standing ovation "before I had even done anything," she says. They gave her another when the performance was over.
Since then, the number of donations has nearly doubled, and ticket sales have increased 13 percent. The BSO began recording again, garnering nominations for a Grammy, and dates at Carnegie Hall have become more frequent. A new board dipped into BSO endowments to wipe out the company's debt, and Alsop herself has invested in the orchestra's future, underwriting a music program for Baltimore's poorest city schools with $100,000 of her MacArthur prize money. The orchestra recently renewed her contract through 2021. "We feed off each other's energy and ideas," says BSO concertmaster Jonathan Carney, "and Marin has terrific charisma and energy."
But Alsop sees her job as much broader than making the BSO a commercial and artistic success. She envisions a commitment to community far deeper than the usual free summer concert in a park. "My goal is to try to break down the impression of the orchestra as elitist, severe, austere, unapproachable," she says. For example, she loves forensic-detective TV programs like CSI, so she hired a writer and collaborated with scientists and an acclaimed otolaryngologist, among others, to create musical mysteries. Actors perform these "symphonic stage shows," as the BSO calls them, between musical pieces. They tell the story of the composer being featured and explore subjects such as Mozart's death and Beethoven's deafness.
Even Alsop's professional wardrobe reflects her obsession with reinvention. The day she was fitted for her maestra's jacket, before her first BSO concert, the tailor gasped when Alsop asked him if he could add some color to the staid black jacket and trousers conductors have always worn. "Won't they get mad?" he fretted. But by Alsop's calculation, if "they" don't get mad, both she and the orchestra are doomed. Making history doesn't interest her nearly as much as unraveling it. (Alsop's suits now show flashes of crimson silk at the cuffs and collar.)
Yet when it comesto subverting sexism in the field of classical music, Alsop's approach is both subtle and practical. In keeping with her sneak-in-through-the-window philosophy, she has launched a two-year conducting fellowship for women. Three of her graduates have already gone on to direct municipal orchestras of their own, in Hartford, Memphis and Reno.

Rosa's insatiable curiosity extended to military subjects, as well. When she researched the role of Nepalese Ghurka regiments in World War II and learned of their shabby treatment after the war, she created a program of privately financed care for these unsung heroes. In 1992, Queen Elizabeth II made Rosa an Honorary Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in recognition of her long-time commitment to the Ghurka Welfare Trust.
In addition to Ellice, she is survived by a daughter, Nancy Hayward, sons Nathan and Pierre Hayward, and five grandsons. Her daughter Rosa Hayward Jones died in 2006.
Rosa McDonald, throughout her life, remained sharp as a tack. Her wit and warm good humor will be missed by all who knew and appreciated her.

After more than a year of consistently having one of the 10 lowest jobless rates in Tennessee, the county lost that status in April.

Naming your bar 'The Book Club' may seem like an odd choice, but this hip venue in East London is no ordinary venue. By day plenty of local media types (and a few hipsters) use The Book Club as a place to plug in their laptops and have a coffee or sneak a fruity cocktail (so far, so typical of East London bars, right?).
However there's plenty more The Book Club offers to its visitors. There's a full social calendar so that nearly every evening there is something to entertain even the most jaded hipster – blues gigs, art exhibitions, movies screenings and even speed dating are some of what one can expect when the sun goes down (keep an eye out for the 'Dance-a-long' screenings of films). If you are feeling a bit more active and sporty, the ping-pong table should keep your competitive spirit occupied.
The darker winter evenings are a perfect excuse to grab a cocktail at your local 'book club'.

Honestly the food is very overated and the service has been horrible since it was Sonora Joes. It has always been slow and the servers are very unprofessional. Last two times I have been there the servers have used very profane language. Poor language does not bother me, I us quite a bit of it myself, but when you are in probably the most high end restraunt in the county you expect a little professionalism. The food is not bad, but for the price you are paying it could be better. You can get the

My new "Pool Boy" Review by Papa K
I have been looking at pool cleaners and robots since my old pool boy graduated from college, and got married. Couldn't find one that I liked, at a price I was willing to pay. So when I saw this robot, it looked like it would fill the bill nicely.
Doheny's had it on my doorstep within 24 hours. After removing it from the box, and looking at the brief instructions, into the pool it went. I put it on the 3 hour soak, since the pool was pretty dirty from all the debris blowing around, and out of the trees. Went back when it was done, and the pool was clean. It didn't miss a spot.
The only problem that i encountered was after I took the filter bag off to clean it out, I found it a bit problematic to put it back on properly.
I thought it was on right, but when I tossed it in a few days later, all that the robot wanted to do was pop wheelies. Back to the directions I went.
It seems that if you don't seat the filter bag properly, the robot will not move well, and pop wheelies, rather than clean the pool. I pulled the bottom back off, taking care to replace the filter bag right this time, and all was well.
There is a small tab near the back, about a quarter inch high, that the filter bag must be seated behind. It must also be in the channel all the way around the bottom. Once that is done, the bottom snaps back onto the robot fairly easily.
All in all, I am happy that I have finally replaced my pool boy. Sure beats cleaning with a skimmer vac !!
Good for the price Review by Michael
Bought this item two years ago and have been really satisfied with it. It has help up well although I would note that the "clips" on our unit are a little loose too, but not to the point where it leaks dirt and debris. We have a very wooded yard and it saves us a lot of time vaccing the pool. Probably gain several hours a week of swim time by using it (as opposed to cleaning the pool before we want to use it) and our DE filter doesn't run as hard or as often now. Can't compare it to the other options available for robots firsthand, but we use it a lot and are impressed with its work.
Best Pool Boy yet! Review by MrDlCastle
As we enter the 21st century we start to see more and more robots being introduced to do the mundane. I have used Roombas for our household floors and was impressed. So I set out to find a similar product for the pool.
I purchased the Wall-Climber Pool Cleaner with Caddy two years ago and have to say that I am quite impressed.
Our pool technician opened our pool this season and let all the debris from the winter fall in the pool. So our pool bottom was covered in a brown silt. I threw in Nitro before going to work and set it at the 3 hour setting. I expected when I returned that there would patches where the robot hadn't traversed that would be left with dirt.
To my wondrous surprise, I came home and my entire in-ground 20k gallon kidney shaped pool was completely clean.
What is so remarkable about this is that I don't have a bottom drain (we discovered it was leaking quite heavily so we had to plug it up), so all the debris had to be picked up by the Nitro and still our pool's floor was spotless.
So anyone who wants to clean their pool walls and floors without worrying about spending water or electricity should definitely consider getting one of these units.
Good Review by AS
Overall I like it very much, it cleans the debris at the bottom of the pool but doesn't work on the steps. The plastic clips can be problematic but not enough to negate the positives.
Nitro Wall Climber Review by Guest
The unit works great, it's easy to use and clean. Just put it in the pool and let it run. The LED indicator on the power supply doesn't work any more and it would have been nice to have words indicating 1 or 3 hour run but this is a small problem compared to its overall function.

Feb. 24, 2004
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - University of Arizona softball players Wendy Allen and Alicia Hollowell, who helped lead the unbeaten Wildcats to five victories at the Palm Springs Classic, earned Pacific-10 Conference honors Tuesday.
Allen, a senior designated player, first baseman and pitcher, was named Player of the Week and Hollowell, a sophomore, took the league's Pitcher of the Week citation. It's the first weekly honor for Allen and Hollowell's sixth in her career.
Allen hit .625 over the weekend, with seven runs and 12 runs batted in. Seven hits went for extra-bases -- five doubles and two home runs.
"Just about everything Wendy hit was a rope," acting head coach Larry Ray said. "We were down 2-0 to Georgia, and the first two kids (Caitlin Lowe and Autumn Champion) get on base. I told Wendy she was going to get one pitch to hit, then we're going to bunt. The first pitch is right there -- and boom," Ray said of Allen's three-run homer to help UA beat the No. 6 Bulldogs.
Allen also tossed a two-hit shutout against Penn State in the tournament, striking out nine in six innings of work.
Hollowell paced UA with four pitching victories to boost her season record to 11-0. In 25 innings of work she gave up 12 hits, three earned runs, only four walks and struck out 54 batters. She fanned 15 against Georgia, shut out No. 7 Alabama and struck out 15 against No. 17 Cal State Fullerton. UA has five victories over ranked teams this year, all by Hollowell.
Arizona has won 85 Player or Pitcher of the Week honors, including one by left fielder Autumn Champion last week. Champion leads UA with a .583 batting average.

I like the black and white, but the Heat and Spurs are already doing it. Way to be a trend setter Nets.
Besides, red white and blue in New York made perfect sense, why change it? It was a classic, going back to the ABA days.
And the "B" suits them perfectly. With the Knicks in the same state, they're obviously the "B" team there.
Looks like a police badge. I thought Jay z had better taste than this, maybe it's because he's married?
I don't know about you guys, but I love purple dinosaur t-shirts.
"I will say, almost everything. And I didnt bring it every night. But I think most everything was a frustration."
I think part of the reason they changed the raptor jersey's is because ever since the early 2000's they found a series of fossils in China that showed that Raptors were indeed covered in feathers.
I can't believe how this club is so good at turning a win potential into fail over and over again.

History and Lifestyle in our neighborhood.
Faubourg Marigny
An Eclectic Neighborhood
BY: BY ANGELA MEQUET CARLL, New Orleans Homes & Lifestyles: January 2009
The elderly Creole gentleman dragged his desk and chair out of his apartment onto the banquette and began to answer his correspondence. Neighbors complained vehemently to the son that his father was sitting outdoors in his nightclothes.
"I cannot see anymore, and this is, after all, a cashmere robe," sniffed the old Creole with appropriate hauteur, "and besides, I am Bernard de Marigny."
Indeed, the Marquis Antoine Xavier Bernard Phillippe de Marigny de Mandeville (1785-1868) has been described as "the last Creole gentleman." By the mid-1800s, he had lived life large and managed to lose most of the vast fortune left to him when he was just a teenager. In order to pay his gambling debts, Marigny began to divide his vast plantation into the neighborhood we know today as Faubourg (the word means "suburb" in French) Marigny.
Faubourg Marigny begins at Elysian Fields Avenue at the site of Bernard's original plantation, the power station at the river, and extends downriver to Press Street, where it segues into Bywater. Esplanade Avenue, bordering the French Quarter, and St. Claude Avenue make up its other two boundaries.
Faubourg Marigny is composed of probably the most eclectic neighbors in the city. Frenchmen Street, lined with an over-abundance of restaurants, music clubs and coffee shops, is its main thoroughfare and Washington Square its playground.
An architecture class could take just one field trip here and marvel at examples of every architectural style built in the city during the 1800s –– plus the place just reeks with history.
In one block of Burgundy Street alone –– which Bernard originally named "Rue Craps" to pay homage to one of his great passions –– you can see a Greek Revival-galleried Creole cottage at 2020 Burgundy. One of the most authentically restored houses in the neighborhood, Sun Oak, as it's called, is the home and studio of architect Eugene Cizek and artist/tour guide Lloyd Sensat, who personifies Bernard's restless ghost during the neighborhood's annual walking tour.
Farther down this same street, at 2031, is an example of the quintessential New Orleans home style: the shotgun. Built in New Orleans between 1830 and1940, shotguns are thought to have originated in Haiti. They were tailor-made for the long, thin lots of the city because the rooms are arranged in single file from front to back. The term is said to have originated from the fact that a gun can be fired the entire length of the house without hitting anything.
At 2001 Burgundy is the former Canal Commercial Trust & Savings Bank, one of several robbed by the infamous duo Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. More recently, it was used in a chase scene in the K-Ville television series.
And on the corner of Burgundy and Touro sits another of the city's indigenous structures: an excellent example of a two-story corner store. The corner lot was used for commercial purposes because it attracted customers from all directions, and usually the Creole shopkeeper's family lived on the second floor. Built around 1850, this commercial structure boasts a cast-iron wraparound gallery and is eerily familiar because it was photographed over and over during the international television coverage of Hurricane Katrina.
Faubourg Marigny today is chic and sophisticated. Many of its grand homes have been meticulously restored. Residents dress stylishly for Sunday brunch at one of the many cafes and then glide over to the Nickel-A-Dance soiree on Frenchmen Street. But, like many older sections of the city, it has lived through its own share of hard times.
After World War II, veterans took advantage of the Veterans Housing Act and bought homes in the suburbs while inner city neighborhoods such as the Marigny became run-down. Yet by the early 1970s, young professionals saw the charm of street after street of 19th-century dwellings, and the Faubourg Marigny Improvement Association was created as they moved in and began to renovate.
The latest addition is The Studio at Colton, a showcase for the creative arts, which opened at the former Colton Middle School on St. Claude Avenue. Today, the Marigny is flourishing again as a neighborhood where whites and blacks, gays and straights, young and old live in harmony as they enjoy their little piece of the past.

A former employee of Jindra's Auto Service on Cypress Avenue is in jail after police say he robbed the gas station Tuesday night around 7:15 p.m.
He is identified as Ryan Peterson, 30.
Peterson used to work for Jindra's but, according to cashier Dustin Panger, was fired a few years ago for stealing from the service station.
Surveillance video shows a man thought to be Peterson open the cash register and grab money out of the drawer.
It also shows Panger trying to stop Peterson from getting away. Panger was out collecting squeegees from the gas pumps and caught Peterson at the door where he says he wrestled Peterson to the ground.
At that point Panger says Peterson threatened to shoot him if he didn't let go and Peterson escaped.
Police arrested Peterson less than half-a-mile away.
Another man named Glen Black was arrested around the same time and very near to where Peterson was caught.
He caught investigators' attention when he tried to break into his own van to hide from police after locking his keys inside.
Panger thinks the two incidents might be connected since he said Peterson has had previous problems with drug abuse, was reportedly acting like he was on something and Black was allegedly caught with a large amount of meth and marijuana in the van.
Police have not connected Black to the robbery and believe it to be a separate incident.

Pink Gives Fur-Free Shout-Out to Michelle Obama
All you loyal peta2 blog readers out there know how much we love Pink, and why wouldn't we?! Aside from being a fierce performer and one of the most successful female vocalists of the past decade, Pink stands up for animals every chance she gets.
Always notorious for speaking her mind, Pink took a few moments out of her show in the DC area yesterday to give props to the first lady, Michelle Obama, for her compassionate decision to be fur-free!
In front of a sold-out crowd of 10,000, Pink gave high praise to America's first family, saying:
Let's get political for a second. Since we're near D.C., I have to give a shout-out to Michelle Obama, who has announced that she is officially fur-free. I love an animal-lovin' first lady!
As do I! Well said, Pink!

Symposium on toxicity of alternative fuels fires debate on important public health issue
Alternative fuels produce fewer greenhouse gases and thus are better for the environment. But what about their toxicity and risk to human health? A year ago this crucial question was raised by University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) faculty member Gunnar Boysen, Ph.D., at a planning session for the American Chemistry Society's (ACS) 2013 annual meeting.
The question so piqued his colleagues' interest that Boysen, who serves as secretary of the ACS Division of Chemical Toxicology, was put in charge of organizing a symposium on the toxicity of alternative fuels for the ACS Annual Meeting in September 2013. It was a fitting topic for an event with the theme "Chemistry in Motion" and held in Indianapolis, home to the famed Indy 500 auto race.
The topic also caught the attention of previewers of the ACS meeting, who selected it as one of the not-to-miss sessions of the four-day event in early September (C&EN PICKS –Wednesday).
Boysen, an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health at the UAMS Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health, saw the session as an opportunity to highlight the great progress made in vehicle emissions reduction over the past century, and at the same time shed light on the potential public health risks of alternative fuels in comparison to fossil fuels.
"The initial plan was to cover the whole spectrum of toxicity associated with petroleum fuels to electric cars," Boysen said. "Some research has revealed that the public adores biofuels because they are not considered fossil fuels and thus are not linked to oils spills like the one in Maumelle, Arkansas in spring 2013, et cetera. A question not really answered, or known within the general public, is whether bio-fuels are more or less toxic."
During the symposium, several simple facts were discussed. First, the diesel engines and filter systems brought to market since 2010 produce exhaust that is as clean as (or even cleaner than!) the intake air. If so, that's a huge improvement over diesel engines built prior to 2007. Second, not all biofuels have the same levels of toxicity, as toxicity varies greatly based on source materials, such as corn or soy. Lastly, overall exhausts from bio-diesels have similar toxicity compared to petroleum-based diesel.
Despite new diesel technology, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in fall 2012 classified diesel exhaust as a class 1 carcinogen (IARC press release). Several members of the IARC working group were present at the symposium and explained that risk assessment on the new technologies is not yet possible, because the needed data are not yet there.
For Boysen, research findings presented at the symposium helped tease out the facts about bio-diesel-associated health risks. "The long life span of the older diesel models is one of the arguments why diesel exhaust has been classified as a human carcinogen," Boysen explained. "Current real-life exposures in high traffic areas are sufficiently high to cause alarm. In the end, I got the feeling that the overall toxicity of biofuels is quite similar to the toxicity induced by petroleum-based diesel if used in the same diesel engine. This stresses the importance for utilization of modern diesel engines and exhaust filter devices."

TX Delizioso had a "soft" opening in late January and debuted in the Dallas Arts District in early February. This Italian-Texas truck is owned by the same team who own Enticed, Dallas' shaved ice truck that was very popular this past summer. TX Delizioso will be participating in the Go Texan program and using locally grown products to create Italian fare. I am especially interested in the bison pizza. You can follow TX Delizioso on Facebook and Twitter to find out their current location.
Fred's Cafe Truck Wagon - Fort Worth's favorite son has rolled out the Truck Wagon, to compliment the brick and mortar locations. The truck menu will focus on burgers, chicken sandwiches and hand cut fries. In its first week of service has stayed in Fort Worth but I've seen several request for Dallas service, so hopefully this will become a DFW truck. Follow the Wagon on Facebook and Twitter to know when and where it can be found.
Little Vessel Grill Food Truck rolled out quietly on February 1. I have tried to get information about this truck, with little success, but have been told it is an Asian Fusion menu. Someone not associated with the truck emailed me a photo of the menu, which did not give much information other than that everything is a flat price of $7 and items have names such as "Barque At The Moon", described as Smoked Pork & Yam Raft and "Samari Sizzler", described as Chicken & Avocado Tempura Sword. Little Vessel Grill has a Facebook and Twitter page, although posting has been minimal.
Tin Star Taco Taxi - "Paco", the Taco Taxi rolled out on February 3, bringing the gourmet tacos of Tin Star Restaurant to the streets of Dallas. Tin Star and their large menu options of fillings has been a Dallas favorite for many years and I expect the truck to be as popular. You can find Paco's schedule on his Facebook and Twitter pages.
Cajun Tailgators - Laissez les bon temp rouler! February means Mardi Gras and Cajun Tailgators will be on the streets of Dallas. Cajun Tailgators has been posting teasers of their menu as it has been evolving and I have drooled every single time. Having grown up on the edge of Cajun Country, I am excited to finally have authentic gumbo, shrimp pistolettes and all the other Cajun goodness that makes ya wanna slap ya mama! Look for Cajun Tailgators to roll out around Mardi Gras (February 21) You can follow them on Facebook and Twitter to know where to find them.
Dos Paisanos - In mid-February, Dallas' first Salvadorian truck rolls out. While the menu has local favories such as tacos and burritos, I am excited to try the Pupusa, Pastalittos and fried plantains! Dos Paisanos will serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night, around the Dallas area. Look for them to roll out on February 18 at the Bishop Arts District Mardi Gras Parade.You can follow Dos Daisanos on Facebook and get more details on their menu on their website.
February also brings a second truck to one of DFW favorites. Ssahm Korean BBQ now has a second truck, wrapped a hot red, to go with their cool black truck. Same menus on the trucks but they are now able to cover more territory. Follow on Facebook and Twitter to know where Red and Black are setting up each day.

2012 looks to be an exciting year for the DFW Food Trucks, I expect the number of new trucks to grow at the same pace and several more owners are bringing a out second or third truck or joining the owners of Enticed, bringing otu completely unique concepts this year. It is The Year of the Food Truck!

The tragedy continues to unfold this week in the American south and midwest as tornadoes sweep through rural areas and towns, destroying homes and lives. As this article is published, the storms continue their march. Since the storms began, rescue workers have been working hard to save lives in the area.
Social media has taken on importance as families and friends check on each other, trying to make sure their loved ones are safe.
The pets of Tornado Alley have been hit hard by these storms too. Many have been killed; others are missing, either swept away by the storm, or having fled in fear when their homes were destroyed.
Elisa Black-Taylor, a writer and photographer in upstate South Carolina who also writes for Examiner, has been working tirelessly throughout the day and into the night posting articles about pets who are lost, found, and even those who have been reported dead.
If you have any information about a pet who has been impacted by these storms - if you have lost, found, or even simply seen one of these pets, please post on one of her articles and let her know. She is working very hard to reunite these pets with their owners, and to provide closure to the owners whose pets did not survive the storms.
Please stop by her pages, "like" them, and share them on your social media accounts to help in her quest to reunite these pets with their families. Subscribe to her feed to get her updates as she posts them. You can help her make a difference!

Fantastic apartment in a great location. Would love to stay there again.
Close to most sites. Apartment was very clean and comfy beds.
Very good location, close to theater district, high line, several subway lines.....rooms were as expected but sofa bed not. Arrangements to get into the apartment OK. Thanks Mo.
This property needs a bit of work. Good location
The flat was very close to Times Square, in an excellent position. Unfortunately we had some problems with the doorknob, so we wrote to WIMDU assistence for help. The technicians came the day after. Inside, there are a living room (with a davenport), a kitchen, two bedrooms (with two queen size bed) and one bathroom.The kitchen, was comfortable. The flat was cute but it needed some maintenance. The bathroom was quite different from the photo, there wasn't a shawer stall but a bath tub. But it was quite big and useful. Wi-fii was available and it worked very well.
We had some great days in the apartment. Very central situated, but the place is also very noisy. The bedrooms and kitchen were fine. The bathrooms did the job but are well used. The cleaning could have been better. The layout of the apartment (formerly two apartments) was strange with a door between the two bathrooms as the only connection (besides the staircase) between one of the bedrooms and the rest of the apartment.
If you like city break is the perfect opportunity
Located perfectly in the heart of New York. Walking distance to Macy's and the Empire and central park.
The neighbourhood was alright and the apartment was fine as well, apart from one of the beds that almost fell apart. The biggest disappointment was that internet never worked, though we called them every day and were promised that it would be fixed immediately! Besides that the host "Mo" was very slow to respond to any issues. Not at all pleased with this stay!
Great apartment but a problem that water pressure is too low to use both bathrooms at the same time. Also the promised wi-fi did not work and the host did not respond to our mail and phone calls regarding this
The location was great. Near Central Park and the subway just a few blocks away. The appartment was clean and the beds made. Very nice place to stay.
all perfect very recomendable

There must be many hundreds of people in our area who learned to play a musical instrument when they were at school. Only a few reach a standard high enough to make performing their career. Some have gone on to teach music but most will have embarked on totally different careers. Love of music will almost certainly have stayed with them and they may still want the chance to develop this interest. That is when an amateur ensemble such as ours comes into its own, offering the chance to perform with others. We also provide an opportunity for those who came to music later in life and accept that they are unlikely to achieve the standard required by many orchestras. Without audition, we are usually able to accommodate anyone who is happy to strive towards playing worthwhile music.
We have an exciting programme of events planned for 2016 and beyond.
In September 2014 we performed to great acclaim the premiere of a newly commissioned suite of music "Letters for Home" composed by Dr. Peter Meechan to commemorate the centenary of the Great War and the "Accrington Pals". It was recorded by BBC Radio Lancashire and broadcast on Christmas Day.
The centenary of the Battle of the Somme will be marked by high profile events in 2016 including a live broadcast on 1st July.
Our music is now being played around the World!
More musicians are wanted, especially young players, so do contact us if you are considering joining a symphonic wind band.

In a city with blessed with iconic and quirky places, Albuquerque's Rail Yards is still stands out. And now it will be a concert venue.
According to their press release, on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at 5pm, Albuquerque's unique group Chatter will bring a "soaring Classical music concert to the Rail Yard's repurposed, ruined-cathedral-like, steel, brick, and glass Blacksmith Shop."
History of the Rail Yards When the AT&SF rail came through to the southwest, it needed a place to maintain their steam locomotives, which required a complete rebuild every 12 to 18 months. The current railyard buildings were constructed between 1915 and 1925 and the rail yards became Albuquerque's largest employer, with 970 employees (then about a quarter of the city's workforce) in 1919, and a peak of 1,500 in the 1940s.
In the 1950s when the railroad began to switch from steam to diesel locomotives, the rail yards became less and less necessary. The shops were shut down completely in 1970 (Source: .wikipedia.org/)
But the lure of these buildings never waned. Huge and decrepit, movies were shot there, people snuck in with cameras, fascinated by the images of the railroad remains.
Today, the city is planning to renovate and open the Rail Yard, likely as a special event venue.
These events are few and far between. The Chatter concert is an opportunity to explore the Yards, and hear great music.
In collaboration with the City of Albuquerque, Chatter has a unique opportunity to become a groundbreaking, non-generic, eclectic cultural example to the state and nation, while reconnecting Albuquerque with its historical past.
The concert will take place in the Blacksmith Shop on Saturday, May 3rd at 5 pm. Tickets are $15 regular | $9 under-30 & students | $5 child | $100 up-front seats+reception ($75 tax deductible)
The music program: Each composition is distinctive and each has a majesty that will resonate in this unlikely hall.
Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998) A Soviet composer who attempted to unify serious and light music in his compositions. His Concerto Grosso is magnificent, spiritual, and slightly chaotic. It features harpsichord, prepared piano, two violin soloists and 21 strings.
JS Bach (1685 - 1750) One of the world's greatest composers. Chatter will be performing the magnificent Bach Double Violin Concerto for solo violins and string orchestra.
Arvo Pärt (1935 - ) An Estonian composer who developed a unique compositional style called "holy minimalism". His composition Tabula Rasa will be the featured and final piece on the Chatter Rail Yard program. Tabula Rasa, "blank slate", composed for two solo violins, string orchestra and prepared piano, is symbolic of Pärt's delving into a bold new technique of music composition.
Chatter's Mission
Chatter's mission is to perform a full spectrum of classical music in informal, atypical, often intimate, accessible venues; to provide unique opportunities for musicians and composers; to present courageous, unexpected programming for all-age audiences; to revolutionize the audience experience of classical music.
The breadth, novelty, and constancy of what Chatter presents every week is at the leading edge in Albuquerque and in the country. A never-ending season of intimate, informal, unpretentious, professional presentations allow for close audience connection to the music & musicians. Chatter makes great music accessible, welcoming and interesting, not through a dumbing-down of music, but by offering novel juxtapositions of very old and very new music, performed by exceptional musicians and with informed, comfortable conversation about the music. Importantly, the events take place in unusual locations and at unconventional performance times.

Pretty smart for a monkey. When His Friend Was Electrocuted, This Monkey Knew Just What to Do
After a rough news year, it's nice to see a heartwarming video just before the holidays. At an Indian train station, a monkey falls onto the tracks and gets electrocuted, and another monkey steps in to save the day. He dunks the injured friend in water and shakes the unconscious primate—and appears to be working hard to bring it back to life.
Luisa Arnedo, who has a Ph.D. in primate behavior, told National Geographic that the video is "an amazing representation of the complexity of primate behavior."
"It is a reminder of how much we still don't understand about their societies and their reactions, and how much is left to do for those studying primates," she said.
While the monkey's heroics definitely seem incredible, it's worth
remembering that animals do this kind of thing more than you'd think. http://www.takepart.com/video/2014/12/24/when-his-friend-was-electrocuted-monkey-knew-just-what-do?cmpid=tpdaily-eml-2014-12-24

Wining & Dining: Celebrity Cruises Hits NYC
October 25, 2013 | By Chris Gray Faust | 1 Comment
For members of Foodie Nation, like me, a meal represents much more than sustenance. We refer to celebrity chefs by one name ("Batali," "Besh" "Ripert") and collect Michelin stars like baseball cards. Our reservations are booked well before our plane tickets, and our bucket list includes multi-course tasting menus.
Among the mainstream cruise lines, Celebrity Cruises has made strides toward solidifying its reputation with this crowd, comprising mainly youngish (for cruising) urbanites. In 2012, the line launched the Excite the Senses themed cruises, centered around cooking classes, wine pairings and mixology courses. Earlier this year, the Bravo TV show Top Chef came to the high seas, with foodie fans taking over Celebrity Constellation.
This month, Celebrity tested its onboard rep on land, in a series of New York-based events intended to raise the line's profile among the city's gourmands.
First, Chef John Suley, Celebrity's associate vice president for food and beverage operations, and his team presented a dinner featuring ship recipes at the legendary James Beard House on October 12 (the second time the line has done so). The eight-course "Taste of Modern Luxury" menu, which cost $170, included Maine lobster salad with hearts of palm, handmade ricotta cavatelli with wild mushroom fricassee and shaved white truffles, and a dish familiar to Murano regulars, Valrhona Cocoa cake.
Celebrity also served as a sponsor for several events at the New York City Wine & Food Festival, an annual conclave of dinners, seminars and tastings put on by the Food Network and Food and Wine magazine. All of the big chef names – both those on TV and otherwise – show up to this one; for foodies, it's a caloric whirlwind of a week.
I made it to two wine and food pairing seminars Sunday, both sponsored by Celebrity. (Cute X wine charms were handed out as souvenirs.) The first one, Fab Wines for Funky Fromage, featured one of my fave cheesemongers (really the only one I know by name): Terrance Brennan. I ate in his cheese-centric NYC restaurant, Artisanal Fromagerie & Bistro, shortly after it opened in 2001 – and have been dreaming of it ever since.
While Brennan employs a scholarly demeanor to cheese, his lecture partner, wine expert Josh Wesson, added levity. As we sampled six "hot tub worthy" cheeses and accompanying wines, Wesson's patter became funnier the more we drank. "You have the right to your tongue," he declared as we nibbled on "Barely Buzzed," a Utah cheddar rubbed with coffee and lavender – just one of the "cheeses that have so much personality, they need a Sherpa to carry them around."
My tasting notes from Wesson and Brennan's rollicking session are filled with exclamation points, circled favorites and a few "OMG, must buy!!!"s. By contrast, the second seminar appealed more to the head than the heart, as Chef Michael Anthony and others from Gramercy Tavern matched fall vegetables – think kale, beets and carrots – with corresponding varietals. Not too many surprises here, although I did murmur aloud that Riesling was my favorite. "Then my job here is done," replied wine director Juliette Pope.
So did Celebrity's sponsorship of the festival make them seem more foodie friendly? I'd say yes. While the people around me at the seminars were probably more likely to save their money for a meal at Per Se instead of a six-night sailing, I could see them seeking chef cred if they booked a cruise – and having a prominent position on the ever-growing food and wine circuit can only help the line's cause. I know that if they brought experts of the caliber of Brennan and Wesson onboard, I'd definitely take notice.

A Decomposition/Synchronization Scheme for Formulating and Solving Optimization Problems

Large-scale optimization problems, even when convex, can be challenging to solve directly. Recently, a considerable amount of research has focused on developing methods for solving such optimization problems in a distributed manner. The assumption that is usually made is that the global objective function is a sum of convex functions, which is restrictive. In this paper, we automatically decompose a convex function to be minimized into a sum of smaller functions that may or may not be convex and assign each sub-function to an agent in a networked system. Each agent is allowed to communicate with other agents in order to solve the original optimization problem. We propose an algorithm which will converge when the interaction between the agents is strong enough to lead to synchronization between common variables.

Clue Number


text:
It seems people are always looking for a way to find their ideal mate. There are several books and courses that tell one what traits they should look for and many go as far as to tell people what will make them happy. However the reality is only you know what makes you happy.
Each of us gets to choose our own friends, lovers, and spouse. There is no such thing as a "universal deal breaker". Whatever you or I might consider a "deal breaker" there is someone living under those conditions and they have no plans of ever walking away. Below are four steps to finding your ideal mate.
Become a "me" expert.
Life is a personal journey and only you know what it is you need in order to feel loved. Do some serious introspective thinking to determine what traits you need in a mate for life. Until you figure out what it is you want and need in a mate you're likely to let impulsive connections and happenstance dictate your relationship choices. That's the equivalent of going shopping without a list!
Create a profile of your ideal mate.
With this exercise you can be as granular as you wish. Answer as many who, where, what, when, and how questions as possible. Examples: Do they live in the city or suburbs? Shop for clothes at upscale department stores/malls or Wal-Mart, work out at a gym? What are their hobbies/interests? Do they grocery shop at a large chain store or boutique health food store, what is their occupation?
After you have this image of your ideal mate imagine you are them! Making lists is the easy part. You have to be honest with yourself by asking: "If I were him/her would I want me?" If the answer is no then you need to go about cultivating the traits you believe this type of person would be attracted to. Don't expect to sit next to the moon unless you are a star!
Be there!
The only way to meet anyone is to be where they're at! You have to run in the same circles. The other alternative is to rely on luck, coincidence, or a chance meeting. Romantics are lonelier than proactive people. If you were very detailed with step #2 you have a pretty good idea of where to go to meet the type of person you want to meet. Check out Meetup.com for hobby groups in order to meet likeminded people who share your similar interest. There are a wide variety of groups such as wine tasting, hiking, yoga, meditation, writing, theatre goers, salsa dancing, and many more. Groups meet monthly on average or more often. This allows one to get to know others in the group gradually while participating in events.
One final note
The goal is to find someone who shares your same values, wants the same things for a relationship that you do, naturally agrees with you on how to obtain those things, and last but not least there is a mutual depth of love and desire for one another.
"Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary."
- Oscar Wilde
"There are only two ways to experience joy and peace of mind in relationships: We either get what we want or we learn to be happy with what we have."
- Kevin Darné : Author of My Cat Won't Bark! (A Relationship Epiphany)

College Hockey:Olofsson one and done at Colorado College, signs with Wild
Colorado College freshman defenseman Gustav Olofsson has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Minnesota Wild.
Olofsson, Minnesota's second-round pick (46th overall) in the 2013 NHL draft, will report to the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League on an amateur tryout.
"We're excited to get Gus under contract," Wild assistant GM Brent Flahr said in a statement. "His performance this year at the World Junior Championship and at Colorado College exceeded our expectations and we're confident that he's ready for the next challenge in his young career. His skill set really excites us and we're looking forward to seeing him continue his development at the pro level."
The Sweden native scored four goals and four assists for eight points in 30 games with the Tigers.
Olofsson helped lead Sweden to a silver medal at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Malmo, Sweden.
