Shawville Fair
Statements By Members

Mathieu Ravignat Pontiac, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Labour Day weekend past, the Pontiac Agricultural Society celebrated the 155th anniversary of the Shawville Fair. This event has been bringing the community together longer than Confederation.
I believe that agricultural fairs like the one in Shawville are a time to celebrate and recognize an industry that is so important to our lives and also to thank farmers themselves for all their hard work keeping quality nutritious food on our tables.
Since William Clark and his directors held the first Shawville agricultural fair, many changes have occurred over the years. However, the essential goal remains the same: creating a showplace for local products and allowing farmers to interact with their urban cousins.
Of course, the fair could not exist without hundreds of volunteers. I want to congratulate and thank them for making this such a great success.
This being harvest season, I would also like to take this opportunity to salute all the farmers in my riding, from the pastures in L'Ange-Gardien and the fields of Gracefield, to the meadows of Fort-Coulonge: my sincere congratulations.
All hon. members are cordially invited to attend the 156th anniversary edition of the Shawville fair next year.
Religious Freedom

David Sweet Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, the ruling Iranian regime continues its unrelenting attack on human rights against its own citizens.
While seven leaders of the Baha'i community remain in prison in Iran on trumped up charges dating back over three years, we have reported another case before us where an Iranian citizen is jailed because of his religious beliefs. The most recent victim is Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, whose only crime is staying true to his Christian faith and refusing to recant. For that, he has been sentenced to death.
Iran not only breaches its international obligations regarding religious freedom, but in actions like this, that are too common in Iran under this present regime, it is guilty of crimes under its own constitution.
In the recent Speech from the Throne, our government renewed our pledge to create an office of religious freedom to monitor and combat exactly this kind of human rights violations and religious intolerance around the globe.
I ask all members of the House of Commons and all Canadians to raise their voices in unison to pressure the Iranian authorities to abide by their own constitution, fulfill their international obligations and release Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani and the seven Baha'i leaders now.
Small Business

Joe Daniel Don Valley East, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to stand before the House today to report that the government's economic plan is working, and in particular, for small businesses.
I am pleased to announce that on October 19 of this month a new business will be opening in my riding. Despite the global economic turmoil, Canada is still the best place for small businesses. On October 19, owner Bani Azan will be opening a Cora franchise on York Mills Road in Don Valley East. This will create a number of new jobs in my riding.
The actions that the government is taking to help small businesses will give this business a good start in establishing itself and securing its long-term future.
I congratulate Bani Azan and Cora on opening this business and wish them the very best for the future.
This government's small-business initiatives will create new businesses, new jobs and growth in existing businesses.
Quebec City HIV-AIDS Organization

Annick Papillon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, 26 years ago today, on October 7, the first clinic in Canada dedicated exclusively to AIDS testing opened in Vancouver. One year later in Quebec City, in a climate of uncertainty, MIELS-Québec, an information and support movement in the fight against HIV-AIDS, was founded. Some 25 years later, thanks to its experienced team of employees, its many volunteers and support from valued partners, this movement remains as active as ever in the Quebec City region.
MIELS-Québec has become an undisputed leader thanks to the prevention services it offers, as well as the information it provides on testing, psychological and social support, housing and recovery.
I wish to sincerely commend the exceptional work of its executive director, Thérèse Richer, and her entire team. Congratulations to MIELS-Québec on 25 years of dedication to our community. I also wish to highlight the support provided by other organizations in Quebec City working on the same cause. While much progress has been made, the fight must go on.
The Economy

Candice Bergen Portage—Lisgar, MB
Mr. Speaker, our government's top priority remains completing the economic recovery. Canadians gave our Conservative government a strong mandate to stay focused on what matters: creating jobs and economic growth. We are the only G7 country that has regained more than all of the jobs that were lost during the downturn.
We have recently been ranked as the best country for business and as the country with the best economic reputation. These are key opportunities for Canada to show leadership and promote strong and sustainable growth in the short and long-term and work on ways to strengthen market confidence and promote global recovery.
That is why our Conservative government is staying the course, with our low-tax plan to create jobs and growth. That is why the last thing the Canadian economy needs is a massive NDP tax hike that would kill jobs, stall our recovery and set Canadian families back.

Mr. Speaker, on a different note, I am pleased to rise in the House today to celebrate the success of the Rangers, a hockey team from Montreal East. The team is currently ranked first in its AAA league. I would like to thank the municipality of Montreal East and those in charge of the team, but I would primarily like to congratulate the players for managing to balance sports and schooling. I tip my hat to them and encourage them to exercise their passion for our national sport while excelling in their studies. Go Rangers!
Last Saturday I attended the awards ceremony for those who volunteer with the Pointe-aux-Trembles soccer association. I would like to congratulate all the coaches, assistants, volunteers and the board of directors for their time and devotion, which has allowed these young people to flourish in a sport that encourages team spirit and respect. I would like to thank you for your commitment to helping our community's youth.
Science and Technology

Susan Truppe London North Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, our government has invested more in science and technology than any government in Canadian history, creating jobs, growing our economy and improving the quality of life for all Canadians. In fact, Canada leads the G7 in terms of investment in higher education, research and development.
Now for the first time the International Council for Science has elected a Canadian as its president. Dr. Gordon McBean of the University of Western Ontario was recently elected president of the council, which boasts a global membership that represents 141 countries. The council has a long-term vision for a world where science is used for the benefit of all.
A distinguished Canadian scientist, Dr. McBean has been the recipient of the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. This is truly an impressive accomplishment. On behalf of our government I want to congratulate Dr. McBean on his new role.
I know I speak for all Canadians when I say that I am proud of the leadership Canadian scientists are showing the world.
Ontario Election

Ted Hsu Kingston and the Islands, ON
Mr. Speaker, the trifecta was rejecta.
Congratulations to the Premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty, and his Liberal team, who won the well-deserved right to form the third consecutive Liberal government.
Dalton McGuinty's Liberals earned the respect of Ontarians by making the decisions that were needed even when those decisions were not popular. The people of Ontario have turned to the Liberal government they trust in these perilous economic times to invest their resources wisely, to plan for Ontario's future in health care, education, energy and the jobs of the 21st century.
The Liberal movement is alive and well in Ontario.
I wish to especially congratulate John Gerretsen, one of the finest public servants in Ontario, and MPP for my home riding, Kingston and the Islands.
Thank you to everyone, from all parties, who worked on this election. You are what makes democracy work.
Yom Kippur
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Pierre Poilievre Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, tonight Jewish families across our beautiful country begin their Yom Kippur observances. They mark the holy day and celebrate the ancient and strong Jewish faith. Judaism is a religion that binds families and communities. It is a religion that demonstrates the value of thoughtfulness, forgiveness and atonement. This Jewish holy day is an occasion for us to wish members of the community a prayerful Yom Kippur.
Today, across our dominion, Jewish Canadians will gather with friends and families to reflect and seek reconciliation with God. They will pray for peace and they will repent.
The Talmud states the Books of Life and Death are open until Yom Kippur and on Yom Kippur a final decision is made about our faith in the new year. For my constituents and all Canadians of the Jewish faith, we all wish them a happy and rewarding Yom Kippur.
Nobel Peace Prize

Hélène Laverdière Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to rise today to honour the three women recipients of the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee, and Tawakkul Karman.
They were awarded the prize "for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work."
The important strides in peace-building these women have made remind us that Canada must live up to its international obligations under UN Security Council resolution 1325 to involve women at decision-making levels in conflict resolution and peace processes around the world.
The award is a victory for the many women working worldwide for peace, democracy and social justice. On behalf of the official opposition, I wish to extend our warmest congratulations to these three exemplary women.
Political Donations
Statements By Members

Kerry-Lynne Findlay Delta—Richmond East, BC
Mr. Speaker, questionable NDP fundraising tactics have been referred to Canada's elections commissioner for investigation.
It was revealed two weeks ago that the NDP has received at least $85,000 from their big union bosses for their latest convention. Is the NDP forgetting or just ignoring the fact that these sorts of donations were banned in 2005?
We have urged the NDP to come clean and provide full disclosure of all contributions, but they have been silent on the issue. Why will the NDP not come forward and be transparent? Will they be using these same improper tactics for their upcoming leadership convention?
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Thomas Mulcair Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, the government is violating the rights of Parliament by forcing the passage of its omnibus crime bill without debate. In fact, a number of aspects of this bill are very debatable. According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the government's estimates of the costs have no rhyme or reason. They are not based on any specific methodology or verifiable information, and they do not take provincial costs into account.
When will this government finally be honest with the provinces? When will it finally be honest with Canadians about the real cost of its so-called law and order agenda?
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Delta—Richmond East
Kerry-Lynne Findlay Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice
Mr. Speaker, the fact is that the cost of crime on Canadian society far exceeds the cost of fighting crime. The fact is that last spring we provided the committee with hundreds of pages of documents that go into precise detail on costing.
For the hon. member's benefit, the Minister of Justice recently tabled a summary of these documents at the justice committee. They show very clearly that the federal cost of Bill C-10 is $78.6 million over five years.
We are working with our provincial and territorial partners on these costs. We believe that working in collaboration with them is important to ensure a strong justice system.
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Thomas Mulcair Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, it cost some $73 million for a website. Are we to believe that is the real cost?
Members know that this government loves to hand out cheques written on other people's money. With respect to the provincial costs of the bill, the Parliamentary Budget Officer—a man of authority who is neutral, independent and credible, and who is never wrong, whereas the government always tries to ram false information down our throats—is accusing the government of obstruction. Quebec does not seem too worried because it said this morning that it will be asking the federal government to reimburse every dollar.
What will this government do?
Oral Questions
11:20 a.m.
Delta—Richmond East
Kerry-Lynne Findlay Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice
Mr. Speaker, I reiterate that the Department of Justice study in 2008 tagged the cost of crime on society at almost $100 billion in that year alone. That it was borne by victims by 83% is what we are concerned about mostly.
Since our government took office, support payments to the provinces have increased by 30%, or $12.7 billion. In budget 2010-11, we announced transfer payments to the provinces and territories of $54 billion, an increase of $2.4 billion over last year.

City buys land for new liquor store location
MARSHALL – The Marshall municipal liquor store has a new future home, after action taken by the Marshall City Council on Tuesday evening.
Council members met in both a special meeting and a budget work session on Tuesday evening. After a closed session to discuss issues related to the purchase of a lot in the J.C. Boyer Addition, the council voted to buy the land, with the intent of building a new liquor store there.
Marshall City Administrator Ben Martig said the city has been looking at places to relocate the municipal liquor store. Profits from the liquor store go to help fund city projects, but it has outgrown its current building and location on East College Drive. A lot in the Boyer Addition was being considered as a place to build a new liquor store, Martig said. The property is about one acre in size and is located along Boyer Drive.
After meeting with the property owners, Martig said, the city had the opportunity to buy the lot for the price of $205,000.
Council member Glenn Bayerkohler said he did not support the project. The idea behind building a bigger liquor store would be to generate more funds for the city through increased alcohol sales, he said.
"The question I have is, does the end justify the means?" Bayerkohler said.
Council members voted 5-1 in favor of buying the land. Bayerkohler cast the vote against, and council member Mike Boedigheimer abstained from the vote.
The council also took action on a few other items of business, including approving bids for replacement of a pedestrian bridge on East Redwood Street and construction of a pedestrian and bicycle trail running from Clarice Avenue to Minnesota Highway 19.
After the meeting, council members stayed for what Martig said would likely be "the first of many" work sessions on the 2014 budget. Martig reviewed factors that could affect the city's priorities in setting a budget and levy. The city needs to adopt a preliminary levy by Sept. 15.
Martig said Marshall is projected to receive about $340,000 in Local Government Aid from the state next year. However, he said, levy limits may also have an effect on the 2014 budget.
"In many ways, we're going to be restricted on what we can and can't do," Martig said, but the increased LGA funding was a positive sign for the city.
Martig said city department heads are reviewing and updating the city's five-year capital plan as the budget process moves ahead. Council members and city staff will also need to consider upcoming infrastructure projects during the budget process. Construction on the regional amateur sports center and expansions at the MERIT Center are proposed to begin in 2014, as are projects including reconstruction on West Lyon Street and rerouting North Bruce Street, colloquially known as Skunk Hollow Road. Work on the bike trail connecting Marshall to Camden State Park will also continue.
As part of the budget work session, several community organizations presented requests for city funding in the 2014 budget. Presenters included the Sounds of Summer Committee, the Marshall Amateur Hockey Association, the Lyon County Historical Museum, the Marshall Area Fine Arts Council and a project to bring the Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall to Marshall in 2015.

Release date: 8/22/2005
Raleigh: North Carolinians will have more protection from identity theft thanks to a measure proposed by Attorney General Roy Cooper and approved by the House.
"We're putting new safeguards in place to help everyday people protect their sensitive personal information," said Cooper, "and we're making it harder for criminals to get their hands on your information in the first place."
The House today unanimously approved the Identity Theft Protection Act of 2005 (Senate Bill 1048). The measure was introduced by Senator Dan Clodfelter and Representatives Bruce Goforth, Ronnie Sutton, Joe Kiser and Karen Ray at Cooper's request. The bill earned unanimous approval by the Senate in May and now returns to the Senate for concurrence.
To cut down on identity theft in North Carolina, the new law proposed by Cooper will:
Identity theft occurs when a consumer's personal information is stolen and used to commit financial fraud. Approximately 300,000 North Carolinians will have their identity stolen this year. Not only is identity theft a menace to consumers, but it also costs businesses $50 billion dollars annually.
This comprehensive bill marks only the latest attack against identity theft for Cooper. Cooper first launched a campaign against this fast-growing crime two years ago, and has worked with law enforcement, businesses, and the public to help raise awareness of and prevent identity theft. Cooper's efforts have been praised by the Federal Trade Commission as a national model. To learn more about identity theft and steps consumers can take to protect themselves, visit www.ncdoj.gov .

Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down
'Lose It' needs you
THUMBS UP: We'd like to encourage more people to sign up for the "Lose It to Win It" program that Hearts Beat Back: The Heart of New Ulm program is running. It's a free program that demands little from the participants, but offers lots of encouragement and advice on how to eat better, exercise more, and live a healthier life.
There is a good incentive for people who live or work in New Ulm to sign up, even people who might not be looking to lose a lot of weight. If the program signs up 2,500 participants by Oct. 31, the program will earn $25,000 toward a $100,000 community prize of outdoor fitness equipment and bicycle improvements.
As of Friday afternoon, the program still needed 791 more people to register to meet its goal. Signing up is simple. Just go to www.heartsbeatback.org/loseit and click on the signup link.
Got an old bike?
THUMBS UP: If you have an old bicycle that you don't use anymore, or that the kids have outgrown, or that needs a little repair, you might consider giving it to the New Ulm Medical Center's "Free Bikes 4 Kidz" drive today at the New Ulm Medical Center parking lot, or at the Winthrop Clinic parking lot. The bikes will be cleaned, repaired and given to kids in need.
It's going on today from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. You can pick up some space in the garage while helping kids. Who could ask for more?
Planning ahead
THUMBS UP: We like the approach the District 88 Administration and School Board are taking toward future planning. Looking at the school's needs now and in the future, at what educational excellence may be in the years ahead, and what the district can do to meet those needs is the best way to ensure they will be met efficiently.
It might be difficult to anticipate what education will be like. Technology is changing so quickly, and population trends can change, too. What federal or state government may require or provide in the years ahead is anyone's guess. But having a plan in place is a great place to start.

Anthony Mangieri, one of New York's more celebrated Neapolitan pizza chefs who shuttered Una Pizza Napoletana in the East Village at the height of its popularity last year
It says his oven from Naples already arrived. I wonder if he got the same manufacturer that was installed in his NYC location.
Interesting....his last oven was an acunto
Yes his first oven was built onsite and demolished. Then he got an acunto which you could say was semi portable but not worth taking out when leaving for sf. plus, the oven madehis place more attractive to buy. Motorino is using it now and they say it cooks with far less effort than the oven in thier original location.
It's a Stefano Ferrara.
Has anyone heard when he opens up his new place in SF?
be great to hear his remakes on both ovens once he starts baking with the Ferrara..is the new Ferrara oven a prefab or built on site?
Both options are available
What do you mean by where?The oven he is getting is a Stefano Ferrara "mobile" oven, I am 99.9% sure because of the invoice.

Anyone who has owned an airplane knows that finding the right place to keep it is no small task. In fact, the job is likely much more involved than first-time buyers ever imagine when they begin to consider aircraft ownership. Obtaining financing, finding insurance, hiring a crew, arranging maintenance-even redoing the interior and paint job-are likely all high on their list of things to do.

Lavatories on corporate and privately owned airplanes run the gamut from none at all to luxuriously appointed throne rooms fit for royalty. If you take nothing else away from this little essay, please remember: When flying on an unfamiliar airplane, you need to ask ahead of time what facilities, if any, will be available. Then plan your meal and drink schedule accordingly.

Buying a corporate jet during times of worldwide financial turmoil might be considered by many to be one of the more outlandish business moves you can make. It could also prove to be one of the smartest.
February 1, 2009
Imagining what it's like to take a private jet flight with your kids is easy. Just picture them hermetically sealed for a few hours in a space not much bigger than a walk-in closet. On the minus side of the experience: on most jets, it's cold turkey on texting and Internet access; skateboarding is definitely out; and there's probably no live television.

Aircraft owners often take pleasure in contemplating federal aviation taxes. That's because much federal tax planning in this area focuses on deductions and thus on taxes the aircraft owner might save. Comparable deductions are frequently available for state tax purposes, but when the spotlight shines on state tax it usually illuminates how much the owner must pay.

Registering your aircraft in the U.S. is a seemingly minor paperwork item that you may not think about during the heady hunt for a business jet. But unless the registration is properly handled, that aircraft you buy might not be legal to fly.

With jet-A fuel costs reaching record highs, business aircraft owners and their flight departments are feeling a big pinch in their budgets. The good news is that they are receiving some relief from an unlikely source-aircraft-insurance companies. The aviation-insurance industry equivalent of a heavyweight title fight is in full swing, and the big winner is the aircraft owner.
August 1, 2008
What Americans call "landing gear," the British call "undercarriage," which really is much more logical. That's because an airplane uses its wheels not just to land but also to take off, taxi and sit around in the hangar. Whatever you call it, the part of the aircraft that allows it to move around on the ground has several distinguishing characteristics.

Reduce dust with this inexpensive, do-it-yourself tip
To save money, Club member Jerry Will of Celina, Ohio, created his own low-cost dust collector for his shop. He built a wooden frame to hold a 20-in. box fan with a furnace filter placed at each side. He used spacers to center the filters in relation to the fan, and he notched the top of the wooden box to allow for the fan�s handle and speed control. By removing the screws that secure the two opposing strips at the top of the box, Jerry can quickly change the filters when necessary.

Costume parades, joyful music, splendorous masks… Those are no more than just a few of the countless details that make Carnival in Tuscany simply magical.
This festivity usually takes place four Sundays before the Shrove Tuesday, in Italian "Martedi Graso", and it is an event celebrated like no other, specially in Viareggio. A city located at a relatively short distance from Florence.
Begun in February 1873, Viareggio's Carnival is considered worldwide to be one of the finest celebrations in all Italy, and its biggest assets are definitely the float parades displaying enormous figures made of papier-mâché, alongside 200 people dressed up in full costume.
Every year thousands of people from all over the world choose Viareggio as a Carnival destination, and many say the major reason to do so is the opportunity to enjoy the parade and see what theme they come up with each year.
Although dressing up in full costume is not strictly required most people choose to do so, while other prefer to keep it simple and just wear a "Burlamacco" mask or put on some fancy make-up. Whatever may the case be, what really matters is enjoying the party atmosphere.
Needless to say that no description could ever match the sensation of being there.
Il Salviatino will be keeping at your disposal a special carnival package, valid every weekend from the 4th of February to the 4th of March.
It includes, besides a 2 nights stay in De Luxe Double Room of our luxury hotel in Florence, a trip to Viareggio with Lunch for two. All of this to let you experience Tuscan's Carnival at its best.
Without a doubt, the most special and magical moment of the year is New Year's Eve. As we prepare to bid goodbye to the year full of memories, we also await a new beginning filled with unknown excitement.
If we want to start the year with a positive attitude, we should follow New Year's Eve traditions. Eating lentils before the clock strikes midnight will bring fortune to the New year. As throwing something old will give us renewed dreams. Let's not forget about wearing red underwear underneath our best attire. This will bring us good luck as soon as the very first minute of 2012.
For this night, our luxury hotel in Florence Il Salviatino has prepared for you a very special event: "L'Epoca Garbata" (Gracious Years) , linked to the package "An Italian Christmas" . This will make your stay at the the hotel very memorable during the holiday season.
Il Salviatino has taken utmost care in organizing the details of New Year's Eve celebration. We have prepared an exquisite dinner menu which includes dishes like Scallops with Jerusalem artichoke, asparagus and red prawn cream; Red mullet and hazelnuts with parsley and candied lemon, anchovy crumble… Last but not least, a desert that unites the essence of Christmas season with gastronomy: Christmas cake pudding with exotic fruits and berries, English vanilla sauce. And Holiday pastries.
Dinner will be accompanied by live music and entertainment to enjoy an extraordinary performance that pays tribute to the period when elegance reigned supreme in Italy.
The Roaring Twenties, ladies wrapped in long evening gowns dancing a wild swing and, for the first time, showing off their sensual legs in a stylish – and sometimes cheeky – way. The noir ambience of the Thirties, when cigarettes were taken out of shiny silver cases and smoked in the dim light.
The cheerful gaze of people dreaming of a brighter future in the Fifties, and wearing the first colorful clothing and prints. That is the essence of "L'Epoca Garbata" (Gracious Years), a performance that underlines the special aspects embodied in the first decades of the 20th century in Italy.
Guests only have to worry about enjoying this very special night. Il Salviatino provides you a unique environment to have an unforgettable start of 2012.

Intel Corp. has successfully demonstrated the first working central processing units (CPUs) code-named Clarkdale and Arrandale manufactured utilizing the company's 32nm process technology. Thin fabrication process will allow Intel to build chips with up to six cores and enable higher performance on mobile computers thanks to reduced power consumption. Additionally, the company confirmed intention to create CPUs with integrated graphics cores.
Intel will start producing 32nm dual-core microprocessors with 4MB of cache, Hyper-Threading and dual-channel DDR3 memory controllers for mainstream desktop (Clarkdale) and performance mobile personal computers (Arrandale) in the Q4 2009. Later on in 2010 the company will introduce six-core code-named Gulftown processor for high-end desktops as well as Westmere-based chip, presumably also a six-core one, aimed at dual-processor servers.
Intel will not try to aggressively create ultimate-performance CPUs using 32nm process technology from the very beginning. Instead, the first processors made using the new process will contain only two cores, but will also feature a graphics core on a separate die, but on the same piece of substrate. Making dual-core processors using 32nm fabrication process should not be a hard task for Intel and it will also provide the company necessary experience to quickly ramp up production of six-core microprocessors with high yields.
For those, who demand truly high performance without too high investments Intel prepares code-named Lynnfield quad-core processor for desktops as well as code-named Clarksfield quad-core chip for mobiles. Both central processing units will be made using 45nm process technology and will inherit micro-architectural and architectural features from currently available Intel Core i7/Nehalem microprocessors, but will have smaller caches and dual-channel memory controllers. At least based on existing roadmap, Intel does not want to transit its quad-core chips to 32nm process tech as soon as possible.
Since Clarkdale and Arrandale CPUs have memory controller as well as PCI Express interconnection inside, there will be no need for GMCH (or North Bridge) on the mainboard. Instead, the new processors will connect directly to Intel 5-series core-logic (code-named Ibexpeak platform) controller hub (PCH) that will carry hard drive controller, wired and wireless network controllers, monitor physical interfaces, PCI controller and other input/output as well as platform-related capabilities.
Considering the fact that the new Clarkdale and Arrandale will completely re-architect the structural design of personal computers – nowadays PCs utilize three to four main chips, but with the elimination of one of the core-logic component the next-generation PCs will use two to three main chips – the new processors may be called revolutionary.
The Westmere generation of chips will sport seven new instructions for accelerating encryption/decryption algorithms – 6 new instructions for AES as well as carry-less multiply instruction (PCLMULQDQ). Carry-less multiplication is an essential processing component of several cryptographic systems and standards. Hence, accelerating carry-less multiplication can significantly contribute to achieving high speed secure computing and communication. Intel names full disk encryption as one of the usage models for the new instructions added to Westmere.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (2 votes).
In short: Fantastic challengeIn full: I ran the load bearing option of this race. Combined with fresh snow and mist this race was a real challenge. It was very well organised and the organisers were very approachable and friendly. Fellow competitors were friendly and all seemed to have a good sense of humour which is a must in these conditions. Previously my favourite race was the Sleepwalker run my Northridge adventure but this is on a level with it and I shall be doing it again.Date of review: January 24, 2013
In short: Very challenging with fantastic camaraderie between runners In full: Very challenging due to ice, snow, mist and the climb up Pen y Fan. The conditions couldn't have been any worse, however, this added to the occasion. The camaraderie between runners was the best I have ever experienced. A must do for those looking for a serious challenge. Date of review: January 21, 2013

Please turn up your speakers and press play
to see our 'behind the scenes' tour of the members area
Giving away branded ebooks is one of the most powerful ways to make money online that no one ever talks about.
And there's a very good reason for this...
Until now, this virtual gold mine has only been open to Tech-Savvy entrepreneurs
Today, everything changes!
This is the ONLY system that....
"How do I get my hands on this system?"
Before I deal with that, let me tell you about 1 more benefit of my system. A benefit that will save you from losing tens of thousands of dollars...
A couple of years ago, I noticed that the income from one of my books suddenly stopped. I checked the product link and was redirected to one of those "error 404" pages! The product had been moved!
This was a disaster, I'd given away thousands of copies of the book, and encouraged readers to pass it on. With a 'dead link' the book was worthless. The crazy thing is, the book is still being passed around online, I can't stop it. Every day more and more people read it but none of them can buy anything!
To prevent this from happening again I devised a revolutionary linking system that automatically checks to see if the product is available. If it's not, the reader is redirected to a similar product.
This means that for the first time ever, I can personally guarantee that your branded ebooks will never expire!
Books you unleash today will still be providing you (or your kids) with passive income 100 years from now!
This unique feature has never been seen before - it will save you from missing out on tens of thousands of dollars!
give a book away today & it'll make money forever
Add this amazing benefit to the fact that your books have been designed to go viral and you can easily see how insanely powerful this system is. Your books can be shared with an unlimited number of people and they never ever expire!
Giving away ebooks is not only a great way to make money, it's a fantastic way of securing your future.
"How much do I invest to secure my financial future?"
Before we talk about price, let's talk about value. What exactly do you get when you become a member...
That's what the nuts and bolts of the system are worth... but what about the massive impact this will have on your life?
Passive income improves the quality of your life, and the quantity.
When your income is on Auto-Pilot you are free to do the things you've always wanted to do and live the life you've always dreamed of.
You're probably thinking that this kind of opportunity has a hefty price tag. Every book you unleash instantly creates a totally passive income stream that lasts forever.
Your income from just one book could run into tens of thousands of dollars, and as a member, you're getting a minimum of 4 books every single month.
Even if I were asking you $400 p/m for this (which I'm not), it would still be the bargain of the century wouldn't it?
But thankfully, I'm not asking anything like $400
In fact, not even half that...
If you act right now...
I'm going to practically give you the whole system for
Just $47 per month...
But I have to warn you... This is a very limited offer...
This is not a gimmick - I will close the doors on this opportunity very soon! I am only offering this opportunity to a limited number of people. When my quota is full the doors will close and I will not be accepting any new members. (Too many members will dilute the effectiveness of the system - so I'm keeping a close eye on how many people sign up!)
If you leave this page now and come back later and the system is not available, there's nothing I can do about that.
Take action today, secure your membership and lock in your place for just $47 per month. Other people are reading this page right now and when my quota is full the doors will close! Don't let them steal your spot!
Click the button below to lock in your place for just $47 per month, before it's too late...
Your investment is fully guaranteed. You can cancel at any time.

Two days after our wedding we drove to our Honeymoon to the Baltic sea. We stayed 6 days in Timmendorf; a small town directly by the sea. We've been their three times before because we love to relax there and so itwas perfect for our honeymoon :) We stayed in a beautiful flat which was a present from DH's Dad. Here are some pics <3

We ordered them from Vistaprint because of their really got recommendations and also we orderd their several times before. I love the quality of their products and how they came out. We orderd 250 cards with matching envelopes and address stickers. As I don't had the time and pleasure to do this project on my own we decided to order them instead on DIY them. It's the same card design as our wedding eve party card (unfortunately not matching our color scheme - but the design ist too cute). Love this cute little wedding couple on the card :) It's a folded card and we want to put a pic from us inside with our Thank you parasol.

As Manuel and I have a really large family and a lot of friends we decided to have additionally to our wedding a wedding eve party so we could also have a nice party with the family members/ friends we couldn't invite to our wedding. The party was held on Saturday the 21.05.2012 and my parents home and over 210 guest celebrated this special part in our life with us. The wedding Eve Party has a long old tradition in Germany. Guests have to bring a lot of old porcelain to the party and then have to throw it on the floor and it must broken in many small pieces. The more pieces on the floor, the longer the marriage will keep. It will also should scare away evil spirits, so the couple will have a happy marriage. But it should only be thrown porcelain and no glass. But be sure to clean this shit up wasn't really funny :)
As I was very very tired of this damn glu gun we decided to order the invites from Vistaprint as we know they have great products. Unfortunately they haven't got cards which matched our color scheme but we both fell in love with this nice postcard (We also used this Design for our Thank you cards).
The back of the invite has a lovely german verse which I found while searching the internet. It matched the theme perfectly :)
And here are pics from our wedding eve party on Saturday - love and enjoy :)

Call For Book Chapters on Ain't
E-mail this message to a friend
Call for Papers on Ain't
We are looking for articles for a possible collection of essays on the
unassuming, yet much-assuming word ain't. We have had some good
feedback towards publication of such a book and would like to continue
rapidly into the next phase.
Studies could include pieces in the areas of corpus linguistics, historical
overviews, literary analyses, folk linguistics, dialect or regional usages,
popular culture, and language attitudes. Any angle on the word is of
interest to us. Possible topics include but are not limited to the
- Arguments for and against the acceptability of ain't in spoken and/or
written usage;
- Attitudes towards ain't in academic literature, the works of language
pundits, the popular press, literary works, style and usage guides, and
classroom textbooks;
- The use of ain't in the works of specific authors, periods, and
- Ain't in fixed expressions and clichés;
- Ain't in popular media like cartoons, music, television, online, social
media, etc;
- Ain't as a marker of social class, culture, or group identity;
- Ain't as it is used within a region or across regions (larger or smaller
geographical areas in North America, the UK, Australia, etc);
- The status of ain't in a particular form of English, whether Standard
American English, Black English Vernaculars, British English (Received
Pronunciation), as well as in any of the World Englishes;
- Ain't in the usage of non-native speakers of English or as discussed
in L2 acquisition;
- Studies based on specific written or spoken corpuses of English.
Articles could be long or short, depending on the topic. Most final
essays will be between 6500 and 8000 words, including citations;
however, we recognize that topics could be quite large or quite small,
depending on the focus. Therefore, there will be latitude for items that
are akin to ''notes,'' in addition to articles that may be a bit longer than
8000 words.
Please send proposals or completed papers accompanied by abstracts
via email attachment to BOTH editors (MSWord or RTF) by July 1,
2012. Please include a separate, current curriculum vitae and your full
contact information including your office and summer phone numbers
and preferred e-mail address.

"The Composer is Dead" is an exciting and perplexing murder mystery. Based on the book by Lemony Snicket (author of A Series of Unfortunate Events) you can help solve the mystery by joining the Inspector (played by Mr. Daniel Williams) as he interrogates all of the unusual suspects. Since each section of the orchestra seems to have a motive or an alibi, "The Composer is Dead" will keep you guessing who is responsible until the very end. Also on the program is the Internet Symphony No. 1 "Eroica" composed by Tan Dun (composer for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"). A fun program for the whole family!
Joseph Gehring, conductor

Are iPads and Other Classroom Gadgets Really Helping Kids Learn? Maybe not, writes Peg Tyre on Take Part.
Wall Street is pouring money into education technology companies, but the enthusiasm may be cooling: Investment in education technology declined in 2011, Tyre writes.
Every new wave of technology that has been tried in classrooms—radio, television, videocassettes, desktop computers and smartboards—has ridden a wave of enthusiasm, rapid adoption and, then, brutally dashed expectations.
"First, the promoters' exhilaration splashes over decision makers as they purchase and deploy equipment in schools and classrooms," said Larry Cuban, professor emeritus of education at Stanford University and author of Oversold and Underused: Computers in the Classoom in an email to me. "Then academics conduct studies to determine the effectiveness of the innovation [and find that it is] just as good as—seldom superior to—conventional instruction in conveying information and teaching skills. They also find that classroom use is less than expected.
While some teachers are using iPads in the classroom in effective ways, most are not, writes Tyre. And hoped-for savings may be illusory.
Adding in training, network costs and software costs, iPads cost school districts 552 percent more than textbooks, writes Lee Wilson of PCI Education on his blog. Wilson's chart is below.
In a Broad Foundation debate, panelists ask: Which is more important, great teachers or great technology? (I guess we can't have both.)

Twitter Nabs Google Maps Director as Product Chief
Twitter has hired Daniel Graf as its new vice president of consumer product, an expert in mobile apps but one who has tweeted sparingly in the past five years.
Graf's appointment fills a key role left vacant for four months since his predecessor Michael Sippey stepped down in January.
Graf, 39, was most recently a director at Google where he has overseen the Google Maps mobile product since 2012. Prior to that he served for six years as the CEO of Kyte, an online mobile and social video platform.
He announced his plans to join Twitter in a tweet Tuesday:
Followed Maps to find that the flock was just around the corner - excited to take wing with the @twitter product team...— Daniel Graf (@danielgraf) April 15, 2014
Graf appears to have two Twitter accounts — one under @danielgraf in which he has only tweeted two times including today's announcement. Another account, @wienergraf, has only tweeted nine times in the past five years.
Graf will have his work cut out for him. Twitter's product strategy has stalled over the past several years with few features or changes made until last fall when the team was brought under the direction of Chief Operating Officer Ali Rowghani.
Rowghani has led the search effort to find the new VP of product, suggesting Graf will be reporting to him. Twitter declined to comment beyond the announcement.
Since then, Twitter has released a raft of tweaks such as image previews and a redesigned user profile page with the aim of appealing to the mainstream. Many of these features had been in development for years but were sidelined amid other sometimes more pressing priorities, such as firming up the site's infrastructure. Twitter faced frequent crashes as its infrastructure buckled under the weight of so much data flowing through the system.
But the product also suffered from a lack of direction and indecision, according to people familiar with the matter, prompting departures from the product team over the past year.
Graf's resume fits well with Twitter's mandate to be a mobile-first company. His challenge will be to make Twitter a friendlier service for the average Internet user as the company seeks to expand its user base and increase engagement from existing users. Twitter has had trouble getting new users to come back to the service, with beginners having a hard time to figure out how to use the service.
For the fourth quarter, Twitter reported 241 million active users, adding just one million in the U.S. and eight million abroad in those three months. If Twitter's quarter-to-quarter growth stabilized at 3.9%, it would take about 11 more years to reach Facebook's reported 1.23 billion users.
It has started addressing this issue in recent months by rolling out products that make it more visually appealing and easier to find friends and family upon signup. There are early signs of improvement. In the fourth quarter, engagement activities such as retweeting and messaging increased.
Graf is expected to start at Twitter next month, according to a tweet from CEO Dick Costolo.
Twitter's stock began climbing following Tuesday's news, up more than 6% to $43.41. Earlier in the day, Twitter said it had acquired its data partner, Gnip, to increase its role in providing analysis of tweets to advertisers.

Top 5 Apple iPhone Apps for the Traveler
Vegas odds on whether or not Cramer will recognize me stand at 8-to-1.
Lots of people hate travel. I don't. In fact, I love almost every aspect of it. I even enjoy the airport experience. I dig flying. And there's nothing better than exploring great cities. It's even better when it's easy.
Our app society makes life easier . Sometimes it's the bang-up apps that improve our lives, but, often, it's a standard utilitarian number with a solid feature or two that provides the most value.
No. 5: Delta Air Lines
When I fly I always try to go with Virgin America . Ever since the airline industry went to a no-frills-unless-you-pay-and-even-when-you-pay-it's-still-pretty-much-no-frills model, Virgin lands head and shoulders above every airline. I just wish it had a better mobile experience.
Given its boarding and on-board experience and overall hip factor, you would expect a solid app from Virgin. Instead, you "only" get a nicely optimized mobile site.
Generally, if I do not fly Virgin I end up on Delta Air Lines (DAL) . For such a biggie, I have to give Delta credit. It's always hit or miss, but, generally speaking, they provide a better experience and friendlier staff than the other major airlines.
Their iPhone app isn't anything special -- it does the basics such as mobile check-in and boarding pass well -- but it's worth mentioning for one feature:
If you fly small airports, this isn't a big deal. But when I leave a car at LAX, the method of walking around for 5 to 10 minutes after a long trip, hitting the lock button repeatedly to find the vehicle by horn honk doesn't fly. The Delta app solves that. I'm sure it's a feature on other airline/travel apps, but it's still good to know if you fly Delta now or will be in the future.
No. 4: Starbucks
Yes, I am in love with Starbucks (SBUX) the stock, the company and its mobile app. Not ashamed to admit it.
It's short and sweet -- they have made an addictive app that's incredibly helpful, particularly when traveling.
You get through security. You have dressed yourself again and secured your key belongings in their proper places. Not sure about you, but the last thing I want to do is pull my wallet out of my pocket. Debit card. Bills. Change. Whatever. It's all a major pain.
I typically have my phone in hand. Bingo. Effortless payment for a cup of tea with the Starbucks mobile app. It will be a beautiful thing when Square and others finally breaks out and provides this option across retail.

A decade is a long time to rap before releasing an official album, but it's not like Debonair hasn't been busy.
"I'm what they would classify as a mixtape rapper," Debonair said.
Since debuting in 2002, the performer born Lee Debro has kicked out nine mixtapes that show his skills over industry beats. He's opened for the likes of Drake, Rick Ross, Slum Village, Clipse, Chiddy Bang and Jay Electronica. He just never put together a collection of verses over original beats until now.
The result is "I'm Proud of Me," which he'll unveil Saturday with a ComFest afterparty at Circus featuring DJ Giovanny, Themidas Touch, Keilyn, Trek, The Kid Blaze and Willie Max. (The album drops online July 4.)
If "I'm Proud of Me" sounds like the kind of title Drake would cook up, the album-opening title track follows suit with a pretty blatant replication of Drizzy's melancholic ego tripping. Debonair survives in that context, but he thrives as things open up from there, the cavalcade of beats and rhymes blossoming into something like Wale's "The Mixtape About Nothing" or Lupe Fiasco's early stuff, before those guys devolved into caricatures.
It's not revolutionary music, but the beats bang, and Debonair's steady stream of pop culture references, boasts and philosophical musings is a step above much of what passes for official rap releases. Although he's rhyming over original productions by the likes of T-Phil and Abots, "I'm Proud of Me" has the free-flowing feel of a mixtape.
Up next is a series of shows around the Midwest and a video for single "OH10," set for release the last week of June. Then it's back to the studio in the continued pursuit of that big breakthrough.
"Usually by now somebody would go back to school and become a nurse's aide or something," Debonair said. "It's been a long road."

Norma,Would you say that the last two milk kefir poolish Lehmann pizzas were the best of the lot of the several versions that you tried? Since the 60% version was made only recently, what was the amount of poolish you used for the second dough ball that went out to 11 days? And was that dough ball cold fermented but not frozen?I can't say that I am really surprised that the diastatic barley malt did not help as much as we would have liked. I have experienced the same ineffectiveness of diastatic malt when I used it but I was using only small amounts of it. If the friendly milk kefir bacteria are cleaning out the lactose sugar, then you might have to resort to traditional ways of increasing residual sugar to contribute to final crust coloration. I think that would rule out using dried dairy whey, because of its high lactose content, but might permit using something like ordinary table sugar, at around 1-2% (so you don't get bottom crust burning in your deck oven), or maybe even some honey. You perhaps could also use non-diastatic malt power or liquid but that might darken the crumb more than you would like.Peter
Norma,I'm sure that there is some application where using diastatic malt works for its intended purpose. Maybe for the duration of your fermentation protocol you need to use more. Perhaps sometime you can try doubling the amount of diastatic malt and see if that works without making the dough overly slack.I assume that making an 11-day dough for market is not a practical option despite its virtues. That would seem to leave the 60% poolish version to improve upon from the standpoint of crust coloration. Honey seems to work pretty well in delivering crust coloration but its downside is that you can't use too much because of the risk of ending up with a bottom crust that turn the desired degree of brown in your deck oven before the rim of the pizza browns up adequately. I typically use honey to get better crust color in emergency dough/pizzas. I think you might start with about 1.5% honey to test the limits of your oven. If it turns out that a test dough with the honey browns too quickly on the bottom, you can always slide one or two pizza screens under the pizza toward the end of its bake to lift it off of the stone surface while the rest of the pizza finishes baking. Peter
Norma,When Mike (Boy Hits Car) and I designed the preferment dough calculating tool, we did not include honey as a sugar choice because we wanted to keep the tool as close as possible to naturally leavened doughs such as authentic Neapolitan doughs. The sugar and oil choices were added for those who want to make such doughs in a home environment using a standard oven. However, although you will sometimes read about how to convert an amount of sugar to honey and vice versa, according to member November, at Reply 9 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6372.msg54612/topicseen.html#msg54612, it is fine to substitute honey for sugar on an equal weight basis. In the dough formulation you posted, for example, a weight of 8.37 grams of sugar would convert to [8.37/28.35)]/0.2467 = 1.2 teaspoons, or roughly 1 1/4 teaspoons, of honey. It sounds like you used both table sugar and honey, so your total sugar content will be higher than the dough formulation you posted suggests. Peter
Norma, Can you tell me how much honey you used by weight and/or by volume?Peter
Norma,Was this the best of the milk kefir Lehmann poolish pizzas?Peter

Fire In Abandoned Medford Home Called "Suspicious"
A fire described as "suspicious" by fire officials occurred at 1 a.m. Wednesday in an abandoned home on Thomas Road. Four engines from Medford Fire and one from Jacksonville responded after a neighbor reported seeing heavy smoke and fire from the residence. When firefighters arrived, the flames had spread from the back porch to the attic. The fire was knocked down in 30 minutes.
No one was hurt. Battalion chief Brian Fish says there was no forced entry, no gas hook up, and no power. Investigators are looking into the fire's cause.

Pledge Poetry on National Limerick Day
May 12, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: Riff
Ever wonder how we pass the time during these pledge drives? Well, today is a great example of what happens when the pledges are trickling in at a slower pace than we would like. It happens to be National Limerick Day, as well as the birthday of the masterfully nonsensical Edward Lear. Michael Bourne, our resident wordsmith, has crafted the following for your amusement (and co-host Andrew Meyer's chocolate-loving bemusement):
There once was a fellow named Meyer
who looked at a funeral pyre,
said "given a choice, I
would much rather die
eating chocolate, not burned in a fire!"
The fun continued offline, when I challenged Michael Bourne to create a haiku:
another fund drive -
gird my verbal loins again,
blather my ass off
Which begs the question: Does anyone out there have some WBGO poetry to share?
It can be fundraiser related or not. We accept haiku, limericks, terza rima, Petrarchan or Shakespearean sonnet style, free verse. Basically anything. Just keep it clean, will ya?
Great Live Moments - Al Grey and Buddy Tate
April 14, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: al grey, baby josh, benny carter, buddy tate, count basie, herschel, lionel hampton, Listening Post, Live Music, man of the year, michael jackson, ones and zeros, resonance, Riff, saxophonist, sense of loss, stints, sweet basil, time magazine, traction, trombonist, vitality, wbgo
When I listen to swing music these days, I love it with a sense of loss, a disconnect. Nearly all of the swing legends are gone. This music has the feeling of a time that no longer exists, not that it ever did for me. I had to find it. Twenty-six years ago, however, swing still had some traction in our culture.
I would like to put myself back in that time. I'd be the coolest eight year old in the world, digging the scene at Sweet Basil. Trombonist Al Grey and saxophonist Buddy Tate are playing "Undecided." I can't believe I'm hearing this.
Chances are, however, I was anticipating the release of Michael Jackson's Thriller, which came out in records stores the week after this recording was made.
As I listen to this performance from the WBGO Archives, I am reminded of the vitality of the swing era, and that the music still had resonance in 1982. Count Basie was still alive. So were a number of his associates. Tate was one of them. Grey another. Tate was the tenor player that had the unenviable task of replacing Herschel Evans in Basie's band. Al Grey joined Basie much later, but he had previous stints with Benny Carter and Lionel Hampton. These were swing men through and through.
So much seems different now. By the end of 1982, Time Magazine declared the computer as Man of the Year, the first-ever distinction for an object. These real men are gone, except for their music. Here I am in 2008, writing a blog entry on my laptop, trying to get closer to an analog era. How do I feel about it? Decidedly Undecided. All I know is that it's easy to get lost in ones and zeros, better to be found alive, and even greater to be swung....Tempus fugit, baby.

Check out my new favorite blog.
Coming in at #44 - PUBLIC RADIO!
From the post:
Summer: Who was that? It sounded like a girl.
Seth: Did it? Yeah. Well, sure. Because I'm listening to the radio. And This American Life is on. And so there's a girl talking.
Summer: Is that that show where those hipster know-it-alls talk about how fascinating ordinary people are? God.
I suppose that deep down inside, I like irreverance. Does that make me white?
Herbie Hancock Keeps the Spotlight
February 29, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: arts music, grammy, herbie, Jazz Alive, Masters, nytimes, ratliff, Riff
I don't really care so much about why Herbie Hancock won a Grammy. All of the bloggers from the indie rock camp should get over it, which, I'm sure, they have by now (it's just the Grammys, folks...). I'm just happy that jazz gets any attention from television. On that note, check out CBS Sunday Morning this weekend. Correspondent Rita Braver visits Herbie Hancock at home. What she discovers about Herbie is as interesting as you can imagine from someone as interesting as Herbie Hancock. Jazz people already know this. Now, folks who watch TV before church service can get an insider portrait of the recent GRAMMY Album of The Year winner. And how many of us have ever been inside Herbie's pad, anyway?
And tomorrow, The Harvard Foundation (for Intercultural and Race Relations) of Harvard University will name Herbie Hancock 2008 Artist of the Year at their annual Cultural Rhythms ceremony. Cool.
Love is on the Air
February 13, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: antonio carlos, cheek to cheek, countless versions, day of the year, ella fitzgerald, irving berlin, little girl, longing, louis armstrong, love songs, luiza, lyrics, melody, musical passion, nancy wilson, portuguese, Revue, Riff, sentimental value, sentiments, stephen sondheim, valentine s day
This Valentine's Day our announcers are celebrating by sharing their favorite love songs with you.
Let us know if you share their sentiments, or tell us what your must-have CD is on the most romantic day of the year.
Rhonda Hamilton's Picks
"Cheek to Cheek" by Irving Berlin. This song has sentimental value for me. I lost my mother when I was 12 years old, but I remember when I was a very little girl she taught me to sing this song. It was one of her favorites and the first song I ever learned.
"Loving You" by Stephen Sondheim. This song is from Sondheim's musical Passion. The melody is very pretty, but I chose the song for its words. The lyrics express a very passionate, all-consuming, life changing love.
"Luiza" by Antonio Carlos Jobim. I chose this song for its melody. The lyrics are in Portuguese so I don't understand them, but the melody is so heartbreakingly beautiful, you can sense that it is a song of longing and a very deep and passionate love.
There are countless versions of "Cheek to Cheek", but one classic is by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong
Nancy Wilson & Peabo Bryson sing "Loving" You on the CD Color and Light - Jazz Sketches on Sondheim
Michel Camilo plays "Luiza" on his Solo CD.
Brian Delp's Picks
"Witchcraft" (Frank Sinatra) Love is truly a spell that ensnares us all...
"If You Could See Me Now" Love lost sometimes teaches us more than love found...
"Autumn Nocturne" The best season to find love (not spring!)
Monifa Brown's Picks
1. Shirley Horn "Too Late Now"
To me Shirley Horn is synonymous with the ballad - she is the Queen of the ballad! With the whisper of a single phrase she has the ability to send tingles down your spine. She had the ultimate control of her voice, not to mention she was as sensitive as a piano player. Her phrasing was impeccable and the timbre of her voice was so sweet. I loved the way she could take a line from a song and stretch it out like taffy, bending and twisting new meaning into each word.
The lyrics to this Burton Lane song really convey what it feels like to be in love:
Too late now to forget your smile
The way we cling when we danced awhile
Too late now to forget and go on to someone new
Too late now to forget your voice
The way one word makes my heart rejoice
Too late now to imagine myself away from you
It is one of my ultimate favorite love songs and Shirley Horn for me sings the definitive version.
2. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman - "My One and Only Love"
This is without a doubt one of the most sophisticated and romantic love songs I know. The balance of John Coltrane's robust yet lyrical, eloquent and tender playing alongside Johnny Hartman's cool, unruffled and warm baritone - is nothing short of sublime.
It is hard to believe that until this recording, Johnny Hartman was relatively unknown despite his prowess as a singer. And even more shocking is the fact that it was not until three decades later --when his singing was featured in the heart-wrenching "Bridges of Madison County" with Clinton Eastwood and Meryl Streep (love this movie!)-- that he was introduced to an entire new generation of audiences.
The lyrics to "My One and Only Love" are also beautiful:
The very thought of you makes
My heart sing,
Like an April breeze
On the wings of spring
And you come to me all your splendor,
My one and only love
The shadow's fall and spread their
Mystique charms in the hush of night,
While you're in my arms.
I feel your lips, so warm and tender,
My one and only love
If this is not romance - I don't know what is!
3. Abbey Lincoln - "Strong Man"
I love Abbey Lincoln and I love Oscar Brown Jr., who penned the song for Abbey. As the story has been told, Abbey told Oscar that she was tired of singing songs about 'no good men' and that she wanted to sing a song about a man she could be proud of.
Abbey recorded "Strong Man' on a 1957 session called "That's Him," alongside an all-star cast that included Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Kenny Dorham, Paul Chambers and Wynton Kelly. I grew up listening to this album...my dad loved it. The song brings back great memories of listening to music with my dad as a kid and now as an adult who is blessed with my own 'strong man,' the song has taken on an even deeper meaning.
Abbey Lincoln is a remarkable storyteller and really knows how to get to the heart of a song and enrapture her listeners in anything she sings. Her gifts make her truly unique and there is no one around who sings quite like Abbey (who happens to be a brilliant composer in her own right). Abbey Lincoln is also an incredibly emotive singer who has an unparalleled ability to manipulate time, melody, phrasing and subtle nuances of the music, which allow her to completely own any song she sings.
Gary Walker's Picks
Dianne Reeves, "Just A Little Lovin'" from "That Day" on Blue Note Records:
" Just a little lovin' early in the mornin'
Beats a cup of coffee for starting out the day
Just a little lovin' when the world is yawning
Makes you wake up thinking
Good things are coming your way"
Put me down for that day starter kit!
Sarah Vaughan, "The Island" from "Crazy & Mixed Up" on Pablo Records
" Make believe we've landed on a desert island
Bathe me in the waters, warm me in the moonlight
Taste me with your kisses, find the secret places...."
By now, that box of chocolates is a melted mess. Replace with wine. Stir. Return.
Kurt Elling, "Not While I'm Around" from "Flirting With Twilight" on Blue Note Records
"Nothin's gonna harm you, not while I'm around
No one's gonna hurt you, no sir, not while I'm around
Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays
I'll send them howling
I've got ways...."
One definition of the comfort found in a special relationship. Sound too corny? Consider: one night the two of you are coming out of a great hang at your favorite late night joint. Suddenly you're surrounded by would be evil doers. One of you is a third degree black belt, singing Kurt's song and whuppin' some butt.
Now that's luv, L....U....V
Rob Crocker's Picks
1) Joe Cuba "To Be With You"
Joe's single swept over Brooklyn. All of us in school thought this was exactly what we were trying to say to our girlfriends.
2) King Pleasure "This is Always"
"This isn't Sometime. This is Always". Simple but endearing lyrics about love. From High School till adulthood they've touched me.
3) Sarah Vaughan "That's All"
I first heard this as a kid on WCBS-AM, my mother's favorite radio station. "I can only give you love that last forever" or "I can only give you country walks in springtime..." These were some of the lyrics that caught my young mind.
Michael Bourne's Picks
I have a personal connection to three love songs. I've actually "performed" all three during the free-wheeling "parlor games" that I host on the last Monday morning of the January jazzfest at Mohonk Mountain House. "Old Devil Moon" because, while I've played the American Popular Songbook for decades on the radio, it's the only standard that I've (more or less) "sung" in public ever. "As Time Goes By" because the fundamental things about love always indeed apply. "I'll Remember April" because my Other Half walked in the door on an April 13th and, after not seeing each other more than 25 years, lovingly walked right into my very cells.
John Cooper's Picks
Marcus Roberts "Single Petal Of A Rose".
Taken from his recording The Truth Is Spoken Here. One of the prettiest versions of this I've ever heard.
John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman - "Dedicated To You"
This recording features the classic My One & Only Love, but over the years I've found this song to be my favorite. The power of love to move an artist to create music, paint or write a book is a powerful force indeed.
Rachel Z - "Iyakutanda"
Taken from her recording Trust The Universe. The song title is Zulu for I LOVE YOU. Rachel plays this in duet with Gumbi Ortiz. The melody is beautiful while being easy and complex at the same time. Just like love.

ThreatsThere are no known incidents or reports of this species being exploited by humans such as direct hunting. However, they have been recorded as bycatch in fisheries operating in Sri Lanka. Additionally, various types of fishing gear pose a risk of entangling or interacting with this species. This species of beaked whales may be sensitive to underwater sounds and anthropogenic noise. Anthropogenic noise levels in the world's oceans are an increasing habitat concern, particularly for deep-diving cetaceans like Longman's beaked whales that use sound to feed, communicate, and navigate in the ocean.
