Forget what you think you know about Dallas, clichés of J.R. Ewing in a ten-gallon hat and church ladies with big hair. Dallas is a diverse town of sophistication and hidden charm, where a varied population enjoys world-class art, unbeatable restaurants and a ridiculous amount of shopping. Don't miss these areas.
West End
Brick-paved sidewalks announce your arrival at this stretch of renovated historic buildings in a former warehouse district dating to the turn of the 20th century. Now it's an eclectic mix of shops, bars and restaurants, including The Palm on Ross Avenue and Sonny Bryan's Smokehouse on North Market Street. The Sixth Floor Museum on Elm Street is dedicated to events surrounding President John F. Kennedy's assassination and legacy.
Bishop Arts
Stroll through this quirky South Dallas neighborhood with a casual vibe. It's got art galleries, great restaurants like Bolsa on West Davis and Lucia on West Eighth Street, and unique stores, like Dude, Sweet Chocolate on West Eighth Street. The Texas Theatre on West Jefferson Boulevard, where Lee Harvey Oswald sought shelter, is an oasis from the summer heat, with new movies and a classy bar. Sip a cocktail on the Hotel Belmont's patio, Fort Worth Avenue, and drink in the city's most spectacular view.
Oak Lawn
The center of the gay community here for 30 years, the area has many LGBT bars, including Sue Ellen's on Throckmorton Street and Station 4 on Cedar Springs Road. Enjoy the decadent splendor of Al Biernat's steakhouse on Oak Lawn Avenue or authentic Italian at Nonna on Lomo Alto Drive. Flip-flops and cargo shorts are welcome at retro Lucky's Cafe or the vegetarian favorite Cosmic Café, both on Oak Lawn Avenue.
Get an overview of the city from Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck at the top of Reunion Tower. Shop at the flagship Neiman Marcus store, then restore yourself at Charlie Palmer at the Joule or grab a cocktail at the Chesterfield bar, all on Main Street. Check out the 100-year-old Adolphus hotel on Commerce Street. Every Wednesday and Thursday during summer, hear live local music and grab lunch from food trucks at one of downtown's oldest parks, Thanks-Giving Square on Pacific Avenue.
Arts District
This area has been transformed into the largest urban arts district in the U.S., which includes the Winspear Opera House, the Wyly Theatre, the Myerson Symphony Center, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Crow Collection of Asian Art and the Nasher Sculpture Center, a lush little spot of Zen in the zoom and bustle at the edge of downtown. Sample classic Southern at the Screen Door or gourmet burgers at the Commissary, both on Routh Street.
This high-density area north of downtown and within walking distance of McKinney Avenue bars is popular with young professionals. Whether shopping in the West Village, seeing a film at the Magnolia theater, sipping a pint at the Idle Rich Pub, or riding the free trolley up the cobbled streets of McKinney Avenue, you'll find something that appeals. There are more great restaurants here than can be listed, including Baboush and Fearings, both on McKinney Avenue, and the Ketchup Burger Bar on North Hall Street.
This area south of downtown has become a mecca for artists and a tight-knit African-American community, who settled in the light-filled lofts of South Side on Lamar, a refurbished 1910 Sears building whose renovation sparked new growth. Share in the Urban Cowboy fable at Gilley's (yes, there is a mechanical bull), then stay for great music and drink specials. Cedars Social has top-notch craft cocktails and scrumptious small plates. Bill's Records and Tapes is a Dallas institution and a must for music aficionados of all eras.
Deep Ellum
This section east of downtown, settled by former slaves, became a jazz and blues hub. It's now known for art galleries, live music, shops and restaurants. Watch the city come alive at night from this funky district, where tattooed musicians lugging equipment share the sidewalk with women in tiny dresses heading to dance clubs. Cane Rosso on Commerce Street has the city's best Neapolitan-style pizza. Catch live music and Texas charm at La Grange on Elm Street, where deer-head trophies made of glass sometimes sport wigs.
Design District
Once known for trade-only warehouses, this area has opened its doors to the public and become a haven for sophisticated shoppers. Laura Bush is a customer at Antiques Moderne, where jaw-dropping refurbished pieces range from art deco to mid-century modern, and the spectacular showrooms are too numerous to name. Looking for low-end kitsch? Time-travel through Lula B's, also on North Riverfront Boulevard, a random collection of vintage wares that's like a wonderfully curated garage sale. Every neighborhood on the rise has its hot new restaurant, and Oak on Oak Lawn Avenue is just that.

Modelling: Big Data & Society – UCL CoMPLEX Annual Conference
The UCL CoMPLEX Annual Conference continued the theme of Big Data, which has figured quite prominently in conferences this year. The speakers at this year's CoMPLEX annual conference, Dr David Weston (Birkbeck), Dr Drew Purves (Microsoft Research), Professor Gesine Reinert (Oxford), Dr Peter White (Imperial, Public Health England), Professor Michael Stumpf (Imperial) and Professor Chris Gilligan (Cambridge, newly announced Chair of JNCC) all highlighted some of the recurrent themes that occupy our minds, in how we develop the necessary tools and methods to be able to gain deep insights from the vast amounts of data available to us.
There has been much discussion about the application of Big Data to solve some of the great challenges of our time. However there has not been as much discussion on developing a theory of Big Data. Developing theoretical foundations is essential to making discoveries from Big Data; without the theoretical underpinnings we will not unlock the power of Big Data. Indeed we will potentially miss other lines of thinking, which can lead to a wealth of scientific discovery.
Developing a theory of Big Data is one of the most exciting challenges we face, as we bring together different fields, from information theory, to statistics to computer science. Such theoretical underpinnings will enable every discipline to approach big research questions in novel ways, and provide a common language by which different disciplines can communicate with each other.
The Big Data revolution can, and is a great enabler for interdisciplinary research. We now need to develop strong theoretical concepts to be to really maximise the latent power of Big Data to tackle some of the greatest challenges of our time.
To that end UCL is organising a workshop in January 2015 -1st UCL Workshop on the Theory of Big Data - which we very much look forward to.

Lunia: Good luck to you. If it were me I know it would be difficult but since it is *his* friends, just remember that you CAN just sit quietly and let those 2 do most of the socializing if you want. I know that as a quiet, shy person, I have been known to try and overcompensate for those personality traits by talking *A LOT* and it ended up just sounding like a fake version of me. Just remember that it's totally okay to just listen a lot and maybe smile a little to let folks know you're not trying to be unfriendly and hopefully they'll get that you simply are quiet and aren't one to talk about yourself much.
jan, that is most Excellent advice and so timely too!
frecklette and I are getting ready to go to a work-sponsored family event, but w/out the mr bc he is still away, and these people are mostly, so far, uber unfriendly. (clickish maybe?) and as the hour draws closer I am getting more and more tense.
in fact, I have a song in my head, re-written to the moment, to the music of 'bitchin camero, and it goes..social-Anxiety- Social Anxiety- I forgot my Brain!
social Anxiety-Social Anxiety- 'wish I could just sneakaway!
sad ain't it ?
but really, the whole/only reason we are going is bc frecklette has a cool teen-event to do, and I will basically just be there waiting for her, and no longer expect anyone to be friendly and even have both a small mag and a book already in my purse, with the plan of the attitude of yah whatever but damn I hate stuff like this.
and it's funny, bc people generally think I am really Friendly (unless they think I'm snobby, it's Either/Or but never in between for some reason) but in reality, almost every time I am faced w/ this I almost get panic attacks before hand. then I get there and the first person that is nice I blabb incessantly to.
note to self mantra: it's totally ok to sit and just listen and maybe smile.
be cool freckle, no one knows you are the dork you are but YOU.
= siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. =
lunia, I hope you have a better time than you expect and who knows, maybe you'll even meet some nice people that you & your bf are both cool with?
my mr's guy best friend introduced us years ago and is still even now OUR best friend and it's a really great thing.

I'm bumping this, because I forgot it existed and there seems to be some pretty good weekly deals this week, Rhythm Heaven, Muramasa, Steambot Chronicles Battle Tournament. I kept putting off buying the Steambot Chronicles game for PSP when Amazon was selling it for like $12 thinking it would go lower, then it shot back up to $39.99, so I had to get it for $9.90. Plus there's a $2.99 shipping option now. I did notice they've got a picture on the left hand side of the site advertising the Age of Conan collectors edition for $4.90 but when you click on it it's $9.90. If there are any GoGamer reps still following this thread you might want to fix that.

An outstanding cordon cherry tomato for glasshouse or outdoor culture. Tomato 'Sungold' has an exceptionally high sugar content, which easily rivals 'Gardeners Delight', making its attractive, golden-orange fruit irresistibly sweet and juicy. The high yields of delicious thin-skinned fruit (each approximately 13g) are ideal for salads or as a tasty snack. This popular variety also has good resistance to tobacco mosaic virus and fusarium wilt. A hardy nature ensures this vigorous performer will crop well into winter in a cool greenhouse. Height: 200cm (79"). Spread: 50cm (20").
Companion planting: Try growing tomatoes with French marigolds to deter whitefly, and basil, chives or mint to deter aphids and other pests.
Useful links:
How to grow tomatoes How to stop blight
Tomato selector guide Companion Planting
For greenhouse cultivation: sow from February to April.
For outdoor cultivation: sow from March to April.
Sow seeds on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed sowing mix and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place seed trays in a propagator at a constant temperature of around 15-20C (59-68F) until after germination, which takes 7-14 days. When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3") pots of compost and grow on at a minimum temperature of 15C (59F).
When growing in a glasshouse tomato plants may be transplanted at the end of May or when the first flowers are showing, if earlier. Allow 3 plants per growbag, or one per 25cm (10") pot, or plant tomatoes directly into the greenhouse soil.
When growing tomatoes outdoors, wait until all risk of frost has passed before transplanting tomatoes. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting out from early June when tomato plants are 20cm (8") tall. Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24") apart. Drive a (5') cane into the soil adjacent to each plant to support them as they grow, and tie each main stem to its support with soft garden twine.
Water tomato plants frequently, to keep the compost evenly moist. Feed tomatoes regularly with a high potash plant food once the first truss of fruit has formed.
Tie the main stems to their supports and remove any sideshoots that develop between the main stem and the leaf stems. Once the plant has produced 6 or 7 trusses, pinch out the top of the main stem. This process of "sideshooting" and "stopping" will increase the availability of light and air movement around the developing fruit, and focus the plants energy on producing a good crop of high quality tomatoes. Tomatoes can be harvested as they ripen from July to October.

Every year I grow three types Gardeners Delight for taste and salads, Moneymaker for sauces and salads and Black Russian because it is so juicy. This year added a fourth Sungold, and it was by far the best tasting not prolific but great taste. So next year dropping Gardeners Delight.
Thank you very much for your review. I am glad that you have been happy with your purchase and thank you so much for taking the time to let us know. I hope we can continue to be of service to you in the future.
By Marjorie Kellington 18-08-2016
Grown Sungold for several years now. Thought I'd try a few others as well this year . I've also grown Suncherry , Sweet Aperitif, Golden Cherry and Black Cherry. Golden Cherry and Black Cherry don't seem to be available anymore. Golden Cherry isn't quite as nice as Sungold and the skins seem a bit harder. Black Cherry is a nice size, bigger than Sungold but not as sweet. There's a replacement called Black Opal which is supposed to be sweeter, so I will definitely be growing this next year as the colour adds a lovely addition to a salad. Reviewed the other two varieties under their own heading. If I was only growing one variety it would still be Sungold, so that says it all.
Thank you very much for your review. I am glad that you have been happy with your purchase. I hope we can continue to be of service to you in the future.
By Claire Carolan 13-03-2016
I have grown these for several years now and they are amazing. Easy to grow and by far the most popular for taste amongst friends and family. Last year they seeded themselves throughout the garden and I lifted at least 30 plants from the garden to pot in and pass to friends!
Thank you very much for your review. I am glad that you have been happy with your purchase. I hope we can continue to be of service to you in the future.
By bob gray 22-08-2015
This is the second year i've grown Sungold. Most tomatoes here get Blight fairly easily. Not many people grow them. I've had no troubles, and grow these in a row of 5, six weeks apart. .Word gets around, and people who don't speak all year suddenly become very friendly. I turned up one evening after work, to find one of them helping herself. To avoid a repeat this year, i've grown a thick ornamental grass barrier, so they can't see the plants. Hopefully, I may get the whole crop this time.
Thank you for taking the time to post your review. I am glad that you are happy with the results of your Tomatoes, I hope you can enjoy your whole crop next year.
By George Rowlinson 05-08-2015
First year I have grown these and they have gone to the top of my all time favorites list. Beautifully sweet salad tomato with stacks of flavour - not that many reach the plate as I'm constantly noshing them straight off the plant. They are lush. Will be growing lots next year. PS. I grow all my toms outside and these have done particulary well
Thank you for taking the time to post your review. I hope we can continue to be of service to you in the future.
By Claire Carolan 18-04-2015
Have been growing these for the last few years and the whole family, my neighbours and work colleagues can't get enough! Wonderful flavour and masses of fruit, what more can you ask for?
Thank you for your review and for taking the time to share your wonderful comments. I hope we can continue to be of service.

Best ever!
By Avril Aitchison 07-10-2013
Grew 2 plants from seed this season and as always, sweetest and tastiest! Strong plants with long trusses. Ripe tomatoes not too bad for splitting this year either. My kids favourite every year!
By Martin Barker 25-09-2012
Have grown Sungold for several years now - reliable performer indoors and out. Great sweet flavour.
By JACINTA WEST 01-09-2012
I have had problems before with tomatoes grown outside splitting and rotting, but these have been brilliant (and the weather has not been great here in Cheshire). Very long trusses bearing lots of very sweet tomatoes. I will definitely grow them again.
By Yanhua Ou 11-08-2012
I grew cherry tomatoes first time this year. They taste so good, even my neighbour asked me where I got the seeds from. I recommend this to everyone.
By Andrea Cowling 04-04-2012
Waiting to compare with my reliable gardeners delight, if they are half as sweet we are on to a winner. Lovely contrast of colour to summer salads, all I have to do now is wait patiently for these beauties.
By Kate Glasgow 17-09-2011
We grew these for the first time this year as recommended by a friend, the seeds all germinated and from the word go were better, healthier plants than the other tomatoes we grew, they have been fruiting well with tasty colourful tomatoes for weeks now. Highly recommended.
By Jean Turner 21-04-2011
I have been growing Sungold tomatoes in the greenhouse since they first appeared and each year I long for harvesting time. They have the most wonderful flavour and appearance. No problems and 100% germination each time with Thompson and Morgan seeds. So reliable I always sow 1 seed per pot and am never disappointed. So long as I am able I doubt I shall ever stop growing Sungold tomatoes.
By Brian Spiller 02-12-2010
I have grown these for years in my greenhouse and are certainly the tastiest we have ever had and normally we crop up until Christmas here in Cornwall but the recent cold snap has finished them off this year! I normally grow about 10 plants and are always the first of our different tomatoes to crop and about 2 weeks ahead of the others. Easy to look after and have had no real problems with them. Roll on next season!

At least the combat side of the show seems a little more straightforward. Each of your hands controls a separate circular reticule, and can be independently used to lob balls of magic at your foes. Sweep the two magic blobs together, and you'll blend them into a potent fireball. By making a cycling motion with both hands - like one of those crap 80's dances - you'll open a spellcrafting menu, which then allows you to build more complicated magical attacks. From the looks of things, these will include established Fable favourites, like enchanted blades and time manipulation.
But it doesn't end there. If you come to a high cliff and fancy a look at the scenery ahead, you'll also be able to make a telescope. You'll also be able to make hammers and fishing rods, and God knows what else.
At one point we're told that the player will need to drain energy from wild animals in order to survive. Drain a bit and the creature will fall asleep; drain more, and you'll kill them. It's all slightly bewildering, but Molyneux's own demo did a vastly better job of selling the experience than the brief showing at Microsoft's conference.
Needless to say, there was a near constant stream of verbal dynamite from the man himself. "We've got great horse sweat technology!" he grins. "I'm all for horse bodily functions!" And then later, in reference to the animal-draining: "Fluffy squirrels need to die!"
We've all learned to take this showmanship with a bucketful of salt, but here in the presence of the man himself, it's virtually impossible to resist Molyneux's effortless charm. And to be honest, I find myself liking a lot of the design choices. Fable: The Journey has been built so that you can play it sitting down, are there'll be none of the leaping about that seems so popular with Kinect devs. The magic combat looks very simple, but it also looks to have a tactile quality that's immediately appealing.
Lord knows how it'll all turn out. Fable's history is as littered with as many things that didn't work (or didn't show up at all) as it is with things that were genuinely interesting. But despite everything that's come before - or perhaps because of it - Fable: The Journey has totally snagged my curiosity.

Leaders around the world are planning their next moves after President Barack Obama put temporary brakes on an military strike against Syria.
Following the president's prime time address to the nation Tuesday, both supporters and critics wonder what's ahead for U.S. foreign policy.
During the address, Obama made his case for why the United States should act against Syria's president, even as the strike he was planning was put on hold by a move suggested off-the-cuff by his own secretary of state.
"If we fail to act, the Assad regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons," the president warned in his speech.
"As the ban against these weapons erodes, other tyrants will have no reason to think twice about acquiring poison gas and using them," he continued. "Over time, our troops would again face the prospect of chemical warfare on the battlefield, and it could be easier for terrorist organizations to obtain these weapons and to use them to attack civilians."
Does the civil war in Syria pose a threat to America? Dr. Kim Holmes, distinguished fellow at the Heritage Foundation, answers this and more, on CBN Newswatch, Sept. 9, following this report.
But critics say the president knows he's in an uphill battle to move public opinion with nearly two-thirds of the country opposed to U.S. military involvement.
"I think President Obama presented his case, but he did not convince me," Rohit Chand, an Illinois resident, said.
"To a person, every G.I. I meet, every parent I meet, not one of them wants to get involved in a civil war. And it's not that we don't have sympathy, we just don't see a military or an American objective there," Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said.
Overseas President Obama won applause from Iran's Aytollah Khamenei, who said the U.S. decision to bomb is a good one if it is serious.
Israeli President Shimon Peres toured a factory near the border. He questioned whether Syria would really give up its chemical weapons.
"If they won't do it, I believe the United States will keep her credibility and Syria will pay a price," Peres said.
Despite all the drama of the past couple of weeks, not much has really changed. Iran's leaders are still pursuing nuclear weapons and Assad is still in charge and fighting Syria's civil war
Russian President Vladimir Putin's influence in the Middle East continues to grow, while the United States is more reluctant than ever to exert its authority in the region.
Meanwhile, Israel stands guard, ready to strike again if its own red lines are crossed.

The Jakarta Post
Debunking media reports and statements made by spin doctors, European Union (EU) Ambassador to Indonesia and Brunei Julian Wilson says Indonesian palm oil enjoys unrestricted access to the European markets and is growing at an annual rate of over 20 percent.
"If there is a ban, how can the market be expanding at over 20 percent … If we do have a ban, it would be the most inefficient ban in history," Julian said at a seminar on palm oil hosted by the Indonesian Agriculture Ministry, the EU and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Julian said a boycott of palm oil imports from Indonesia would be impossible, not only because of high consumer demand for palm oil in food and cosmetics but also because the trade of palm oil is protected by the free trade practices implemented by the EU and the WTO.
Previously, the Indonesian and Malaysian governments were irked by reports claiming that new EU rules would apply trade restrictions on palm oil starting this year in line with escalating protectionism in the EU market. The reports also said that the new rules were aimed at discouraging companies from felling forests to grow biodiesel or bioethanol crops. In response to the news, the government had set up a team to investigate the matter that has yet to publicly announce its findings.
Julian said policy-makers should not waste time on dealing with what he termed as "lies" and not be diverted from the real issues: Persuading consumers that a great product and industry could be in harmony with the environment.
"Now let's address the reality. You have a great product [in terms of] quality, revenue, development of the hinterland and high consumer demand. But, it has an environmental impact — primarily, forest clearing and methane emissions. Consumers have picked this up," he said.
Julian said the Indonesian government had made great strides in ensuring responsible palm oil development through introducing a regulation last year, which required all palm oil producers to obtain Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certification.
"ISPO is logical [by being] legally binding and having national coverage. But, it now lacks the credibility of RSPO. Without that credibility, it will not persuade consumers," Julian said, referring to the international standard for palm oil certification issued by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
The certification process for ISPO begins this year, with a few companies already applying for audits. No certificates have been issued so far.
Shinta Widjaja Kamdani, the vice chairwoman for the environment and climate change at the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), acknowledged that it would take considerable time and effort to achieve international recognition of the ISPO.
"Basically, the government must have a clear certification scheme, then should provide incentives in the form of reductions of export tariffs because this will really work," she told reporters on the sidelines of a conference on sustainable palm oil in Jakarta.
Shinta said that one of the most basic incentives to support the development of palm oil production would be the reduction of export taxes for ISPO certified companies.
WWF Indonesia conservation director Nazir Foead said incentives for certified companies could also come from the private sector, namely banks. He highlighted a practice by state-owned Bank BNI, which had lowered lending rates as reward for certified companies that promoted sustainable practices.
"From the business side, that will make sense as the plantations applying best practices will not have problems with environmental non-governmental organizations, farmers or workers whose rights are violated, and thus face a lower risk of default," he explained.
BNI assistant to the vice president Retno Murwani said that the bank channeled around Rp 3.2 trillion (US$355.2 million) to RSPO-certified firms, or 20 percent of the bank's total loan exposure in the plantation sector.
"In our rating system, environmentally friendly firms can get a 0.5 percent to 1 percent loan rate discount from our base lending rate. They can get around a rate of 9 percent to 9.5 percent," she said.

A federal court has unanimously ruled that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can't require livestock operations to get Clean Water Act (CWA) permits unless there is a manure discharge into a waterway of the United States. The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) hailed the decision as a major victory.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit in New Orleans said the EPA exceeded its statutory authority in requiring concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) that propose or might discharge to apply for CWA permits.
Suing the EPA over its so-called CAFO rule were the NPPC, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the United Egg Producers and several other agricultural groups. The rule was issued in 2008 after EPA's core provision in the initial 2003 regulation was struck down by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in New York City. In that 2005 decision, the court ruled that the CWA requires permits only for producers who actually discharge. EPA had sought to require permits even for operations that had a potential to discharge.
The 2008 CAFO rule set a zero-discharge standard including a duty to apply for a CWA permit for all CAFOs that discharge or propose to discharge. The rule essentially established a presumption that CAFOs "proposed" to discharge if any future discharge occurred. The rule included production areas and cropland on which manure is applied and imposed fines of $37,500 a day, not only for illegal discharges, but for the failure of a CAFO that had a discharge to apply for a CWA permit.
"NPPC is very pleased with the 5th Circuit's decision," says NPPC President Doug Wolf, a pork producer from Lancaster, WI. "The court recognized a clear limit on EPA's authority and required the agency to comply with the clean water law."
NPPC argued before the 5th Circuit that the 2008 rule's duty to apply "constitutes a thinly veiled effort to impose the same duty to apply that was invalidated" by the 2nd Circuit. It also argued that the "failure to apply" violation creates substantial economic pressure to apply for a CWA permit, and that the regulation shifts the burden to a non-permitted CAFO that has a discharge to establish that it did not "propose" to discharge.
The 5th Circuit Court concurred with NPPC's arguments, ruling on the "duty to apply" provision that previous court cases "leave no doubt that there must be an actual discharge…to trigger the CWA's requirements and EPA's authority." It also struck down the CAFO rule's "failure to apply" provision, stating that its imposition is "outside the bounds of the CWA's mandate."
"Pork producers have worked hard to meet, and are meeting, the zero-discharge standard, which the pork industry has embraced," Wolf says. "Getting a federal permit is irrelevant to meeting the standard. The time, effort and cost of getting one is a complete waste when all that permit will do is tell producers to do exactly what they already are required and fully intend to do – not have a discharge."

--OF Justin Christian cleared waivers and re-signed with the Giants on a minor league deal. He was invited to the team's big-league spring camp. Christian, 31, played 18 games for the Giants last year and hit .255, his first taste of the majors since a stint with the Yankees in 2008.
--3B Pablo Sandoval seemed free and easy at the Giants' recent fanfest in the wake of his All-Star season. He was the Giants' first All-Star position player since the days of LF Barry Bonds, and now he has a three-year, $17.15 million contract to call his own. It was a huge show of faith by the Giants, who saw the Panda's weight balloon before his aggressive weight-loss program after the 2010 season. Still, manager Bruce Bochy said Sandoval still needs to shed some weight before spring training.
--RHP Matt Cain put his San Francisco home up for sale. Does it mean he was preparing to leave the Giants as a free agent after the 2012 season? Not at all, he said. This isn't the first time he tried to move the property. Back in September 2011, it was listed for $1,950,000. A month later, it dropped to $1,795,000. It was pulled off the market in December, and it's back on the market at the same price -- $255,000 less than the $2,050,000 he bought it for in 2008.
--RHP Brian Wilson will draw much attention when he makes his Cactus League debut after getting shut down in August because of an elbow strain. "Could I have pitched? Yes, but they took the necessary precautions based on that I'm an employee, I'm an investment, and they'd like me to pitch this year and next year, not just last year," Wilson said. The closer can be a free agent after the 2013 season, and he's signed through 2012. The Giants said they're open to extending Wilson's contract, but he must reprove his value first.
--RHP Guillermo Mota and INF Ryan Theriot, who signed with the Giants late in the offseason, were added to the 40-man roster. The Mota transaction was a long time coming. He agreed to terms in December, but he didn't officially return to the Giants until recently, giving the front office time to manipulate the 40-man roster. As for Theriot, he comes from the champion Cardinals after hitting .271 in 132 games.
BY THE NUMBERS: 90 -- Times Giants runners scored from second base on singles last year. It happened 90 of 157 times, 57 percent, ranking 12th in the NL.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "My goal is to have a Gold Glove one day." -- 3B Pablo Sandoval, who was runner-up in NL Gold Glove voting among third basemen in 2011, finishing behind the Phillies' Placido Polanco.

Thorne J. McFarlane, 2014
The communication arts and sciences (CAS) faculty celebrate Thorne J. McFarlane, outstanding CAS graduate and a member of our national honor society, Lambda Pi Eta. Read Thorne's story below.
Although adjusting to college life was not easy, the environment at Penn State York helped me to grow into a stronger student. Growing up with sickle-cell disease, I struggled to find motivation amidst chronic pain and constant health complications. However, I found it easy to adapt to Penn State York's smaller class sizes and focused curriculum. This structured lifestyle provided me with a rigid sense of direction. The cerebral world of academia also offered an escape from my physical limitations.
I would like to recognize the dedicated faculty and staff on this campus who guided my progress throughout my four-year journey. As a CAS student, I gained unexpected insight about how communication can be used to influence different facets of the world around me. I have learned to sharpen my research skills and apply my knowledge to the fields of rhetoric, public relations, and crisis management. Throughout the summer of 2013, I had the opportunity to gain practical experience in an internship with the Crispus Attucks organization. At Crispus Attucks, I worked in the communication department and was part of a planning committee that organized a summer festival called "Wingstock." During this time, I also assisted Dr. Downing with his research on the effectiveness of communication strategies used by call center sales agents. I appreciate the mentorship I received from Dr. Downing, who helped me during this time of professional development.
Outside of the classroom, I also found fulfillment tutoring my peers in the Nittany Success Center. During my five semesters tutoring courses in CAS and English, I came to identify with the unique life challenges facing the students I tutored. I worked with students from various cultural backgrounds as well as those who had physical and cognitive disabilities. The rigors of college life add another layer of complexity to what many students may already be dealing with in their personal lives. As a tutor, I wanted to help others in my school community develop the skills necessary to succeed, regardless of where their personal journeys take them.
Finally, I am eternally thankful to have such a supportive family. My parents, Anna and Jameson McFarlane, remain my biggest source of inspiration and encouragement. My mother has an MBA in finance and accounting and is a CPA, while my father is a computer science college professor and holds an MBA in computer information systems and technology and is completing his doctorate in computer information systems. From an early age, my parents emphasized the value of education, set high standards for excellence, and taught my younger brother and me the importance of being diligent in the face of adversity. Despite the unpredictability of my debilitating disease, their nurturance has kept me grounded.
After just four years in college, I hope to continue to graduate school to grow as a scholar and as a person. I feel that CAS, as expansive as it is, will translate well to my desired field of study. I am looking to pursue a career in Health Law, where I will work as an advocate for those neglected within the health care system. Regardless of my personal hurdles, I am determined to improve the lives of those who continue to struggle from painful diseases. The most important advice I can give to incoming students is to treasure each and every day. Embrace each obstacle – use it as an opportunity to define yourself.
"Whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul." – From Max Ehrmann's Desiderata (1927)

Why was the Qur'an Revealed in Arabic?
To this question, I think that most people would answer that stating the fact that it is because Arabic was the language that prophet Muhammad spoke and understood. Although I do not challenge that answer, in my opinion we can go a bit further. Being a revelation destined for the whole mankind, I think that it is legitimate to think that there's probably something special about Arabic language that has allowed it to be the one God chose. And to try to prove that I would like to invite you to come with me. If you accept, we'll both be following the second ayat of chapter 12 – Indeed, We have revealed it as an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand.
For those not familiar with Arabic language, it helps to know that the word Qur'an is one of several words derived from the root قرا (qr'). The first of the root's meanings to which we'll be looking at is to collect together, part by part, that shows us the Qur'an as a collection of parts, of distinct elements that were drawn together thus giving origin to a book. But imagine we would like to add some details to this rather simplistic assumption…
We'll pour in more detail by calling to our presence Latin word colligo (with which English collect and collection are kindred), that means to gather or collect together into a whole, to assemble; being used, for example, in military language, to describe the assemble of an army. But the most interesting of its meanings comes through one of its metaphorical uses, where we find colligo meaning to put together in the mind, to think upon. Don't you agree that this adds to a better understanding of what it means to consider the Qur'an as a collection of parts? It allows you to still see the Holy Book Qur'an as a surface upon which are gathered the ayat and the chapters, but it also impels you to consider the need to have those parts collected in your mind through reasoning.
We'll now turn to the other root meaning that we have to ponder on to read.
What does reading has to do with collecting together separated parts? The answer seems easy… When one reads he brings together not only the letters, but also the words as well as the sentences into a whole. But again, let us try to have more details… Take Latin verb lego: bringing, gathering, collecting together, in general used as referring, for instance, to the gathering of fruits or flowers, which added colligo the notion of taking, picking out. In other words, this collecting together by picking out leads to the idea of extraction, removing.
Let me assume that you have already picked up fruits from a tree… If you have, you know that you don't pick indiscriminately as you would if your eyes were closed or blindfolded, and all you had to do was to grasp your hands at the fruits. When you collect a fruit from its tree, you do choose what you pick it out, that is, you select the one that's most appealing to you. In other words, when you remove a fruit from a tree, you are taking the one you've chosen from amongst all the other hanging on the tree.
Now, besides this, lego means to read, which is quite curious, as it gives us permission not only to look at the act of reading as the collecting of letters and words together, but also to see in that act a means of having selected parts to compose a whole.
Let us now bring the Qur'an… When you read the Qur'an beginning in one chapter till its end, you are making use of a collection that has been organized, collected, after its revelation. But, why not trying to select parts, separated ayat, and then try to bring them together with the help of your faculties? You just have to grasp what you've selected and have them collected in your intellect through reasoning. Who knows… maybe you'll see each separated ayat as a pierced pearl through which it is possible to pass a thread thus making a necklace… the thread being your understanding of the selection you've made…
In the second part of this article we'll be analyzing the root of the Arabic language itself, عرب ('rb).

American Airlines Announces Cooperative Agreement with Air Berlin
FORT WORTH, Texas, July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Airlines today announced that it has signed an agreement with Air Berlin outlining a comprehensive codeshare and frequent flyer relationship that will allow customers of each airline to book and travel on the other's network and earn frequent flyer miles as well. American and Air Berlin expect to implement the codeshare as soon as all government approvals are received.

American, a founding member of the oneworld® alliance, currently serves Germany with service to Frankfurt from its Dallas/Fort Worth and Chicago gateways. With hubs in Berlin and Dusseldorf, Air Berlin offers service to more than 160 cities in Europe, Russia and the Middle East as well as to six cities in North America New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Fort Myers, Fla., and Vancouver.
Air Berlin's flights to the U.S. will connect to one of the most robust networks in the Americas, where American and American Eagle serve nearly 250 cities. From New York's John F. Kennedy (JFK) gateway, American offers nonstop service to 56 cities. From its Miami hub, American offers unsurpassed service to 30 cities in Mexico, Central and South America, the most of any airline, is the leading carrier to the Caribbean serving 23 island destinations, and offers service to six destinations in the Bahamas. From its Los Angeles hub American serves 31 cities, including four Hawaiian destinations.
Additionally, the agreement allows customers traveling on codeshare flights to earn mileage credits in American's AAdvantage® or Air Berlin's topbonus frequent flyer programs. American and Air Berlin are exploring a more comprehensive agreement that would include mileage redemption in addition to accrual across each carrier's networks.
"We're very pleased to announce this partnership with Germany's second largest airline, Air Berlin, which has established itself as a highly respected European airline over the last two decades. This relationship will add significant value for our customers by substantially growing our worldwide network," said Gerard Arpey, American's CEO. "It gives our customers wide access to Germany, Europe's biggest economy, as well as many other business and leisure destinations. And their U.S. service complements three of our strategic cornerstone markets New York, Miami, and Los Angeles."
Joachim Hunold, CEO of Air Berlin said, "We at Air Berlin are very pleased about establishing our bilateral cooperation with American Airlines starting in the winter season of 2010/2011. We have agreed with our friends from American that we will link our hubs on both sides of the Atlantic, and that we will enter into an extensive codeshare relationship, covering all our flights over the North Atlantic and flights to selected destinations in the US and in Europe."

Frothy is a term to describe an economic climate that is approach a "bubble". A frothy market has a excess of optimism and investment speculation, which drives up the value of seemingly value-less companies and investments like real-estate. It is said that the climate was "frothy" before the burst of the so-called "dot-com bubble", and subsequent recession.

This just in...recent government analysis shows the 99 percent are now down to 47 percent! A spokesperson for the nonpartisan Congressional Bureau of Obfuscation (CBO) said this shows the efforts of both the Obama Administration (with its towering new debt, record number of executive orders, its Chicago-style approach to compromises with the Republican-controlled House, the president not wasting his time with his Jobs Council, and his blaming others) and the Federal Reverse Board are beginning to take hold.
Interviewed later on NBC and MSNBC, the networks that made "liberal media" into one word, the empty chairperson of Occupy Wall Street (OWS) discussed the situation. He said a large number of pink slips will be issued soon, "We really hate to let anyone go and swell the ranks of the one percent. But with labor costs what they are including mandatory healthcare, we must outsource some of these positions to foreign ringers or to our OWS demonstration center in India, where there is a much stronger work ethic about not going to work."
The OWS spokesperson went on to say the 47 percent seems like an irreducible minimum for the foreseeable future. In fact, in the official transcript of Romney's statement about the 47 percent, he footnotes CBO as the source of who wants to work and pay taxes. The spokesperson also said "Romney's words pretty accurately summarize the CBO report."
Analysts and spokespersons from both parties agreed this report will be a game changer. Debby Wasserperson, the Obamacrat Congressperson from Florbamida, said "This report proves Romney never knew what he was talking about!"
Today, Harry Reid announced that he owes Obama so much for all the Chicago style help The Prez gave him in his very tight 2010 re-election, that he will say whatever Obama tells him to say. Then, Rahm Emanuel, who resigned as Obama's first chief-of-staff, (He did that to get elected mayor of Chicago because he wasn't getting enough Chicago-style politics in The White House) said, "The (expletives deleted) economic recovery finally got its (expletives deleted) ass in gear. President Obama blew that (expletives deleted) Osama bin Laden's (expletives deleted) brains out. End of story."
In the other camp, Sen. Rand Paul, grandson of the late and legendary Ayn Rand, and son of Congressperson Ron Paul, is a favorite with the Teed Party. Sen. Paul said "Romney really nailed it! As you know, my father is always speaking out against excessive government and the dangers of making people wards of the state and the loss of liberty that brings. My grandmother wrote numerous books and articles with the similar messages. So I was really glad when Mitt hit the nail on the head. Atlas only shrugged but Obama's trying to fundamentally transform."
Herman Cain, the staunch conservative Republican said, "This report is a big plus for Romney. Obama's plan is to tax those who have just started earning so he can make them become wards of the state again. They will resent that and back Romney." Cain, a favorite on the late night shows, is the former chairperson and CEO of Godfather's Pizza which the Obamacrats know only as Father's Pizza.

> Ok, a pretty newbie question. If I want to install the whole ports bundle

I'm not aware of a way to do that. I can't help but wonder why you'd
want to. Especially since a lot of packages conflict with other packages
(conflicting versions, other reasons). So even if you could ask it of
sysinstall it'll break later on, so that won't do you much good.
> Or how should i modify the Makefile in the downloaded bundle to be able to

How is this related to sysinstall? How do you suppose bypassing the
firewall is relevant to a Makefile? I don't understand what it is you
are trying to do, other than impressing us with your attempts to use
jargon, and failing. Drop the jargon and explain what problem you're
encountering that you are trying to overcome.
> Or, what place should I modify so that pressing one key would both
> select the port and move down the list. Gosh, selecting even perl

Sysinstall is a tool for helping people getting started with a FreeBSD
installation. It doesn't try to be the be-all end-all of configuration
as that must surely fail. If you want to go ahead and do mass-installs,
you're up for some scripting interfacing with the pkg_tools directly.
So the way forward is to install a minimal system first. Once that boots
reasonably well, figure out how to avoid conflicts while dumping massive
amounts of packages on the system. Provided you really want that, which
I doubt.

Victor & Victoria back at Chapters Hotel and Restaurant…
Chapters Hotel and Restaurant, during September this year, has seen the return of one of their most popular couples. Victor and Victoria Vassallo originally worked at Chapters from March 2005 for four and -a-half years, before deciding to have a change and move to Harrogate.
The couple were originally persuaded to move from Malta by Steven Bell,the current owner of Chapters. After sampling the food and ambience of Victor's Malta establishment, which had been voted one of the best restaurants in Malta by British Airways Flight magazine, Steven realised this Maltese restaurateur and his talented wife (who trained in Malta under two Michelin-star chefs) were the ideal team to revitalise Chapters.

Analyst: Apple iPhone profits have peaked
0. phoneArena 26 Nov 2012, 15:14 posted on
Pacific Crest analyst Andy Hargreaves says that Apple will enjoy a 38.8% gross profit margin on the Apple iPhone 5 in this quarter and will most likely never approach the 40% level again; the reason is the higher price of the pieces required to make the device...

22. htc_prep (Posts: 303; Member since: 09 Oct 2009)
i can believe that. people are scamming U.S. carriers and getting these iphones and selling them world wide for 1000-1500 and they are only paying 150- 450 here in the states collecting major profits.
24. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
lol its a dirty game indeed!.......but dont worry cuz apple is most definitely recieving its due, and once the world sees them come down a little, these black market setups wont be able to do what they are doing cuz the interest level will drop dramatically thus causing the price level to do the same...
to put it simple.......people wont really care for apple anymore.......not completely! but will, without a doubt, lose interest :)
27. htc_prep (Posts: 303; Member since: 09 Oct 2009)
true indeed, but Apple wont put the pressure on Until the big 4 in the US (who market the device with a subsidy)put some pressue on Apple to impose UDID bricking on ESNs, imei, and udids that the carriers report as lost stolen or obtained fraudulently.
even though i dont use apple the allure to the products are there and its what that mainstream know as "it" so it will be some time before the hype dies completely
31. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
O of course i wasnt speaking of "over night" changes, just telling what the future holds for apple :)
and even right now! .......not neccessarily what we are talking about, but dont doubt for one second that apple isnt experiencing, right now, a portion of whats to come for them
32. wendygarett (unregistered)
They are hired to do so... If I want an iPhone, I will hire the agent to line up at Cupertino, and ask the agent line up and shout like a sheep and say, hey look at me, I'm a first iPhone owner...
Most of the Cupertino liners don't shout it from heart... They shout it for profit from us :)

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen someone post that exact phrase on PA (with a differing amount of ellipses at the end, of course), I'd have a sh*t-load of nickels!
Incidentally, if I had a nickel for every time I've posted what I just said above, I'd have two nickels!
9. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
So true. I'm willing to bet when the chips are down, Apple will step up and come up with something pretty sweet. Until then, it's sue, sue, sue!
20. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
the only way they would be able to retain their glory would be to adapt to what and where technology is heading......in which is really a "pick your poison" type of situation, because adapting can also mean copying and we all know where copy cats end up..................................in the court room!
21. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
I was just saying that I'm sure Apple is capable of coming up with cool stuff, but clearly their focus is not on doing that, and that can and likely will come back to bite them in the a$$.

As people get wiser with their money Apple profits are bound to come down. Since profist come down litigation will increase as apple wants money by hook or c(r)ook.

Of course Apple has to reach its peak.. it is how natural dynamics work and there is no exclusions.
But thinking that Apple will collapse any time soon is really foolish.
They have an unprecedented cash reserve that can do just pretty much anything

SALEM - The A.S. Fricano & Co., CPAs, and Daniel D. Wolfe, CPA, announced the merger of their firms.
The action was effective Oct. 1, and the existing firm will operate as Byler, Wolfe, Lutsch, and Kampfer CPAs, Inc.
The Salem office will remain at 360 East State St. while combining with Wolfe's East Liverpool office at 49020 Ashland Place.
The merger enables each company to continue providing client service, while allowing room for growth and expansion, the company said.
There are 13 employees between the two offices with six CPAs and seven support staff.
Eugene Byler, president of the firm, said, "With the impending retirement of Alfred Fricano, we were looking for a new partner to add to our East Liverpool location.
"With Daniel's (Wolfe) knowledge and experience, as well as his previous relationship with our firm, we knew he was the right choice."
He said merger has been worked on for about two years.
"There were other things in place that prevented the name change and we thought it was time," Byler, who joined the A.S. Fricano & Co. company in 1984, said.
He added that many people were not aware that he and Richard Lutsch, who joined the company in 1988, have been the major shareholders since 1991.
Byler said Wolfe also worked for Fricano, left to work in private industry before returning to public accounting.
Overseeing the East Liverpool office are Denny Kampfer, CPA, Wolfe, CPA, and Fricano, CPA/CVA.
Kampfer joined the firm in 1989 after earning a bachelor's degree in business administration from Youngstown State University.
He also holds a Certificate of Educational Achievement in tax planning and advising for closely-held businesses from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Wolfe is a former shareholder with A.S. Fricano & Co., CPAs, and founded his company in 2004.
A graduate of Robert Morris University, Wolfe has 22 years in public accounting and 16 years in private manufacturing accounting, specializing in tax, manufacturing, business management/planning, and personal financial planning.
He also has experience with crisis management cases and bankruptcy court reporting.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, Wolfe is active in the community, serving on the boards of several local civic organizations.
Fricano obtained his bachelor's degree in business administration from Youngstown State University and formed A.S. Fricano & Co., CPAs, in 1977, when he acquired the Hartt and Hartt Audit firm.
Fricano is a certified valuation analyst with membership in the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts.
Overseeing the Salem office are Byler, CPA, and Lutsch, CPA.
Byler earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from Youngstown State University, and also holds a Certificate of Educational Achievement in tax planning and advising for closely-held businesses from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
He oversees the tax division of the company.
Lutsch obtained his bachelor's degree in business administration from Kent State University. He oversees the preparation of compiled and reviewed financial statements, as well as the firm's accounting and financial reporting practice.
Each partner has direct and shared responsibilities for various types of clients, including individuals, businesses, and not-for-profit entities, and provides tax, accounting, and consulting services.
In addition, Laurie Chaffee, CPA, is a manager and will continue at the Salem office.
Chaffee provides tax, accounting, and consulting services, and is a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor.
For more information, visit: www.bwlkcpa or contact the Salem office at 330-332-4646 and the East Liverpool office at 330-385-2160.

Move Over Soil, Clouds Will Do For Growing Things In The Sky2012-10-31 2 Share Tweet
While you shopping for vegetables do you consider where the produce you're plonking in your basket is from? For Singapore, the good news is that over 7% of vegetables will be grown locally from now on! More fresh, local vegetables also means good business for farmers and market vendors. But where exactly is there space in this densely populated city to harvest sed crops?
The first commercial vertical farm in the world sprouted in Singapore! It was opened by local Sky Greens farm, who are based at their high-tech farm in 42 Kallang Place. It consists of 120 aluminum towers, each extending to 9 metes in height. Trays of varying kinds of vegetable adorn these towers which can produce up to 500 kg of three kinds of vegetables per day. Although it's a little more expensive compared to importing vegetable from other countries, it's sustainable and cuts down on the energy (jet fuel etc.) used to transport produce overseas to our locale. It's also, not to mention, given local farmers and the community pride in the fact the veggies are grown locally!
So far there are 120 "farms" which Sky Greens hopes to raise to 300 by next year.
Lee Yi Shyan, Senior Minister of State for National Development and Trade and Industry, told Channel News Asia that they are always looking at ways to increase their sources of food supply. Therefore, if there's the possibility to grow food in Singapore, meet local demand, maintain the quality standards we're used to at no extra cost then why not!
Any ideas for your dinner plans yet? Local vegetables could be one of your choices tonight!
And if you have any Lomography pics to share with us taken of the vertical farms please do so in the comments below!

Brandi Disterheft, "Gratitude" (Justin Time). What is it that Bette Midler always used to sing - "You've Got to Have Friends"? This 27-year-old bassist from Vancouver has them. Oscar Peterson, of all people, had this to say about her for the world's publicists: "She has the same lope or rhythmical pulse as my late bass player Ray Brown. She is what we call serious." Which, of course, is a little bit like a young trumpet player being compared to Dizzy Gillespie or Miles Davis. Then there are the musicians on this disc - trumpet player Sean Jones, alto saxophonist Vincent Herring, pianist Renee Rosnes, drummer Gregory Hutchinson and flutist Anne Drummond. As Peterson might have said, those are "serious" friends for a 27-year old jazz bass player. The title composition of her disc is short (only three minutes) and altogether beautiful. But then she does indeed swing with a "lope" Ray Brown might have liked behind Herring and Jones on "Mizmahta." And what she does to Les McCann and Eddie Harris' incomparably rude truth-telling "Compared to What" is, no doubt about it, cool any way you look at it. Don't ask how jazz suddenly got so many creative and formidable female jazz bass players who also like to sing. Just enjoy it - here, for instance. OOO (Jeff Simon)
Beka Gochiashvili, "Self-Titled" (Exitus). When Chick Corea came to perform on the Buffalo waterfront for one of the most awaited jazz events of recent years, he couldn't wait to tell his preconcert interviewer (me) all about this 16-year-old pianist from Tblisi, Georgia. When Corea's band played a European tour, the then-15 year-old blew their minds quite nicely. Corea's great bass player Stanley Clarke is currently telling everybody he can that this recording debut by the teenage pianist from Europe is the most exciting debut by a young musician since a teenage Tony Williams started playing with Miles Davis (back then, special permission needed to be granted to have Williams play his drums at clubs where he couldn't himself drink). Corea's former drummer Lenny White produced Gochiashvili's debut here and plays on it. The young pianist is every bit as exciting as his elders have been saying. And White did him justice by the myriad players he surrounded him with besides himself and Clarke: bassists John Pattitucci, Victor Bailey and Ben Williams, trumpet player Wallace Roney, alto saxophonist Jaleel Shaw and guitarist Tom Guarna. It would have been a terrific jazz debut if Gochiashvili had been 28. That he's a teenage prodigy makes it all the sweeter news. OOO� (J.S.)
Ron Miles with Bill Frisell and Brian Blade, "Quiver" (Enja-Yellow Bird). That's right. No bass player here, which tells you only part of how unconventional this trio of players is prepared to be. In the notes, the great jazz guitar force Frisell has this to say about trumpet player Miles "I don't think I've ever met anyone quite so stoic, no matter what is going on around him. He has some sort of internal power. . some sort of incredible center he just will not budge from. . Whatever the path he is on at the moment, when it comes to conceiving music, he'll take it as far as he can go." The result is chamber jazz with lavish wit, surprise and no small beauty. Wait until you hear "Just Married" here with its ultra-spare trio playing folk jazz as incongruous as the music of the Jimmy Giuffre once was. New Orleans drummer Brian Blade was born for this. OOO� (J.S.)
Howard Shore, Music for "Cosmopolis" performed by Metric (Howe). Whether or not the movie by David Cronenberg ever plays in Buffalo is an interesting question. Even with Cronenberg's history of making cinematic near-successes out of books that should have been impossible to adapt (William S. Burroughs' "Naked Lunch," J.G. Ballard's "Crash"), Don DeLillo's "Cosmopolis" was about as tough to adapt into a movie as they come. (OK, maybe not as hard as "Cloud Atlas" but that's another story.) Nor was Cronenberg's cause aided much by his star Robert Pattinson. But soundtrack composer Howard Shore, bless him, was right there front and center doing his bit for Cronenberg's film, just the way he once did for "Naked Lunch" (with Ornette Coleman, no less, as guest soloist). It's a long, pounding electronic throb, somewhat reminiscent of Tangerine Dream's score for Michael Mann's "Thief." It's so good that it works as a completely separate entity from the film. OOO (J.S.)
Carl Nielsen, Symphony No.3 "Sinfonia Espansiva," and Symphony No.2 "The Four Temperaments" performed by the New York Philharmonic conducted by Alan Gilbert (Da Capo). It was, let's remember, Leonard Bernstein's New York Philharmonic recording of Carl Nielsen's great fifth symphony - with its angry war-era snare drums making war on its string ostinatos - that almost instantly vaulted the piece into a common orchestral showpiece in America from what had previously been the Danish composer's modest reputation on this side of the Atlantic. When great orchestras and conductors began en masse exploring Nielsen's other symphonies they discovered music that, if it didn't quite have the dramatic sturm and drang of his Fifth, had more than its share of power and sturdy authority. Few anywhere question that he was Denmark's greatest composer. Here is the beginning of a new complete Nielsen symphonies cycle - in this case taken from live performance in Avery Fisher Hall in 2011 and this year. Fine performances of fine music but needless to say they don't have the same vividness of New York Philharmonic Nielsen performances when the music was new to American ears. OOO (J.S.)
Montsalvatge, Piano Music, Vol. 3, Jordi Maso and Miquel Villalba, Pianos, Pia Freund, soprano (Naxos). Catalan composer Xavier Montsalvatge (1912-2002) is known mostly for a beautiful, mournful Moorish lullaby, included in a lot of lullaby compilations. He had a gift, though, for writing for the piano, incorporating jazz and blues and the classical and religious traditions of his native land. This disc, part of an ongoing survey of his piano music for Naxos, is a fascinating grab bag. In 1998, Alicia de Larrocha asked Montsalvatge in 1998 for an encore piece - the result was "Homage," not show-offy as you might expect, but wistful and poetic. "The Three Divertimentos on Themes of Forgotten Composers" and "Barcelona Blues" are lovely, jazzy pieces, a refreshing change for when you are on Gershwin overload and want something different. The disc is tougher going as it goes on, but it would reward repeated listening. It ends with "Five Invocations to the Crucified Christ," a stark composition that Montsalvatge regarded as one of his favorite pieces. Rarely performed because of its instrumental demands (including complex percussion) it puts you in the time and place of the composer's childhood, when Holy Week processions filled him with fear and wonder. OOO� (Mary Kunz Goldman)
Paul Lewis, Schubert, Works for Piano, Vol. 2 (Harmonia Mundi). Lewis, frequently heard playing piano in recordings of Schubert songs, is an uninhibited player with a natural sound. He doesn't fuss over this music. Instead you get the sense he is following it to see where it goes, a good approach, especially in the long and winding roads of the "Wanderer" Fantasy. Lewis' way is his own. You sense something different right at the start of the "Wanderer" Fantasy, when he lavishly pedals the big chords. I love him for including the Sonata No. 16, D. 845. Someone was pointing out on the radio recently that most of Schubert's sonatas are underperformed - they're long, and they don't fit neatly into a recital program. Like all of Schubert's music, they are so beautiful you can't stand it. This is music to treasure and go through life with. By the way I love Lewis' look, like a weathered British rocker. OOOO (M.K.G.)

lesser subsystems (telnet, ftp, rsh, etc) and is not required IF you
don't require any of the services that run via inetd. I use ssh on all
of my servers so i really have no need for any services provided by
inetd (although I just comment out the services in inetd.conf instead
of disabling inetd completely - just personal preference).
But you shouldn't remove either of those files...it's a bad idea, and
if you don't need inetd, just disable it via SRC.
and as always google is your friend:
