Looking foward to it.ReplyDelete
O-Oh! My order is with Fishponds! They said despatch between the 5th Feb and the 15th when they took my Paypal payment! Hope they aren't going to make me wait forever! (In the UK and therefore had to order through one of the ones that would post overseas.)ReplyDelete

Hi Rhonda,ReplyDelete
I pre-ordered your book through Fishpond and I got an email saying it would not be published till July 2012 and then they gave me the opportunity to cancel my order. I did this as I am sure I will be able to pick your book up elsewhere. Vanessa

Hi there,
I have dt990s (250) hooked up to e7/e9 double and at certain bass frequencies they rattle or distort in one driver (left one). I have them plugged via USB to my computer but the Line-out does the same. It also did it with this http://www.djstore.com/item/novnio24.htm.
I used to have Audio Technicas (32 ohm), and they did the exact same thing, in the same channel. If therefore seems unlikely to be a hair or something because I opened them up and found no problem there. I would have though my amp was enough power.
It is not hugely distorted, just at certain frequencies and tends to happen at all but the lowest volumes. Driving me crazy as I other wise love them!
Any ideas appreciated, thanks!

As part of a three country trip to Asia, USAID Deputy Administrator Donald Steinberg attended the Annual Meeting of the Asian Development Bank in Manila, participating in the Development Partners Session. In the Philippines, he visited several USAID programs, including the launch of the Partnership for Growth Cities Development Initiative, the issuance of land titles to several Batangas residents, and the signing of the Bilateral Agreement with the Philippine government. Deputy Administrator Steinberg's visit to Danang, Vietnam highlighted the USG's commitment to remediation of Agent Orange dioxins, an important step in mending the painful legacy between our two countries. During a short stay in Japan, he engaged with experts at the Japan Institute of International Affairs on "The critical importance of U.S. – Japan development cooperation and the post-Busan development landscape."

New Facility Ensures Better Health for Filipino Children
One of the leading causes of illness in the Philippines is diarrhea. It kills more than 27 Filipino children under 5 each day, and poor sanitation costs the Philippine economy nearly $2 billion each year. I was reminded of these staggering figures as I journeyed six hours north of Manila to San Fernando City, La Union, to inaugurate a new sewtage treatment facility supported by USAID.
As a native of the San Fernando City area, I have seen its transformation from a quiet municipality to a booming metropolis that has become the seat of national government agencies in the region. It is also a center of trade, commerce, and financial and educational institutions.
Unfortunately, rapid urbanization has taken a toll on the city's sanitation management capacity. To address this problem, USAID partnered with Rotary International and the city government to construct a septage treatment facility that will improve sanitation services by treating the waste from all the septic tanks in the city.
The facility is one of the five projects undertaken by USAID and Rotary International under the Water Alliance Program. USAID and Rotary International together contributed a total of approximately $300,000 to cover both facility construction and technical assistance, while an additional $660,000 was put up by the city government.
The nearly 180,000 residents of San Fernando City will benefit from a cleaner, healthier environment as a result of this city-wide system. The project is also an excellent demonstration of how partnerships between government and non-governmental organizations can yield positive results. Collaborations such as this maximize the impact and sustainability of our programs in the communities that we serve.
USAID has partnered in the Philippines with local, provincial, and national governments; civil society; and the private sector to improve natural resource management. USAID has improved access to clean water and sanitation for 1.2 million Filipinos since 2005, and has protected and conserved over 1 million hectares of forest lands and coastal areas since 2004. We look forward to our continued work with our development partners as we strive to create a healthier environment conducive to sustained and inclusive growth.
USAID Complex Crises Funds Reinvigorate Agriculture in Sri Lanka
Farmer-returnees empowered to develop livelihoods, support their families, and participate positively in their communities.
Recently, I visited one of the agriculture programs supported by USAID in the northern region of Sri Lanka where the most intense fighting took place between the Sri Lankan security forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). More than two years later, the destruction from the last military offensive was still palpable. As we made the long drive north from the capital city of Colombo to meet our beneficiaries, we knew we had arrived in Mullaitivu when the landscape changed. The unpaved, bumpy road into the town was lined with bullet-ridden and bombed out buildings.
For over twenty years, Sri Lanka was entangled in a brutal civil war between the Government of Sri Lanka and LTTE. The conflict saw widespread destruction of property, the planting of millions of landmines, and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians in Northern Sri Lanka. An estimated 70,000 people were killed in the violence. In May 2009, the Sri Lanka military declared victory after crushing the last resistance of the LTTE.
In Northern Sri Lanka, the final military offensive resulted in nearly 300,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who were confined to closed camps. Not only were the entire communities of Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu displaced during the final stages of the conflict, they lost all of their productive assets, most homes were destroyed, many family members perished, and anything of value was looted.
In 2010, a year after the military defeat of the LTTE, the government began the resettlement of the IDPs in Kilinochchi and parts of Mullaitivu known as the Vanni. With little advance notice, hundreds of families were returned to their villages. But their homes were destroyed and their lands decimated during the fighting. Over 80 percent of the returnees were farmers, and their only means of livelihood was agriculture. With an urgent need to provide assistance to help resettle the IDPs and restart their livelihoods, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) provided resources through its Complex Crises Fund (CCF) to support a one-year program implemented by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization.
Established in 2010, the CCF was created as a flexible resource to enable the U.S. Government to respond quickly during critical windows of opportunity and/or unforeseen political, social, or economic challenges that threaten a country's stability or help create the conditions necessary for longer-term development. Generally speaking, the CCF is contingent upon an unanticipated urgent need or a significant triggering event that requires an immediate, robust response. In Sri Lanka, the goal was to restart and restore livelihoods for these highly vulnerable returnee populations. The timing of the request was critical because the Maha (planting season) was within weeks.
The activity focused on resuming basic farming and agricultural production in order to maintain community stability during the resettlement process. As a result of USAID's program, nearly 120,000 acres of rice paddy seed were planted in the Vanni region. The beneficiaries included approximately 68,000 people, of which approximately 25 percent were single female heads of household. The agriculture assistance was coupled with training sessions on how to care for livestock as well as harvesting and planting techniques. The district agrarian training centers were also refurbished to ensure a safe and suitable community meeting place.
The CCF resources accomplished far more than just agriculture production and crop yields. It provided the foundation for a disenfranchised and highly vulnerable population to restart their life.
Reconciling the Sri Lanka of the Past and Present
One of the highlights of my recent trip through South Asia was returning to Sri Lanka. The entire journey through the subcontinent was intense, with meetings scheduled back-to-back from 7 A.M. well into the late evening, including working lunches and dinners. Yet despite the busy schedule, it was a wonderful opportunity to see up close both the immense challenges on the ground and just some of the ways USAID is addressing them.
Sri Lanka was more of a homecoming for me. I visited Sri Lanka in 1979 to attend a wedding of close friends – a British bride and Sinhala groom. Their close friends were Tamil, from the north, and we continued the celebrations in Jaffna, during my three-week sojourn to Sri Lanka. Jaffna was once the center of Tamil life, and full of excitement and prosperous. Since the civil war erupted in 1985, Jaffna sadly had been closed off to most foreigners.
During my recent visit, I was really looking forward to seeing a revived and rebuilt north. The government is rebuilding the infrastructure, but clearly nearly 30 years of war has left the population in the north severely traumatized. Most striking was the impact on the women and their families. Thousands of war widows are unable to reclaim family lands because they lack the documentation required to prove ownership. As a result, even if they find land to settle on, they are prohibited from farming because they lack title to the land. Poverty is extensive in these communities, and it impacts even male-headed families.
Although the government is providing jobs through infrastructure development, the jobs employ men imported from southern Sri Lanka, and not Tamils from the north. In addition, large contingents of military soldiers are now embedded in massive camps dotting the landscape. This has led to a breakdown in the social fabric, where survival requirements have pitted women-headed households with no employment opportunities against an influx of male soldiers and day laborers. As I met with villagers to discuss their plight, my visit to Sri Lanka some 35 years ago became a distant past, with the country I was seeing now bearing no relation to what I saw in1979.
USAID has run a number of programs in Sri Lanka to both address the direct humanitarian crisis of the displaced persons, as well as to foster long-term interethnic reconciliation and cooperation. In the past, we've supported efforts to counsel widows and children affected by the trauma of war.
One USAID project assisted such widows by providing chickens as a source for family consumption and for sale. Now we are part of a public private partnership with a garment company to deepen interpersonal bonds among workers from several ethnic groups on the factory floor as part of the interethnic reconciliation process.
I'm hoping programs like these continue to provide support and raise awareness over the continuing humanitarian situation in Sri Lanka, and particularly in the north. While I can't return to 1979, I do hope one day to return to the lively and thriving Jaffna I remember.
At USAID-Supported Conference, Yemen's Transitional Prime Minister Endorses Leadership Quota for Women
Joan Parker is President and Chief Executive Officer of Counterpart International.
History happens faster than you expect and is usually part of a chain of events. Monday, March 19, in a filled-to-capacity ballroom in a hotel in Sana'a, Yemen, I witnessed an important link in that historical chain.
At the National Women's Conference, co-sponsored by USAID, Yemen's transitional Prime Minister Mohammed Salim Basindwa pledged his support for a top demand from USAID-supported women's organizations—a quota requiring at least 30 percent of high-ranking posts be held by females.
"I truly believe that if women rule the country, that it would be peaceful and prosperous," Basindwa said. "Yemeni women are important factors in our development, and Yemen will prosper only if women are fully involved."
Basindwa also focused on the significance of the conference, which drew nearly 1,000 women (and a handful of men). "Today's gathering represents an unprecedented moment in Yemeni history," he said. "Currently, Yemen is working to build its future. There is a need to have this conference."
"This is the Yemeni spring," declared Yemen's Human Rights Minister, Horia Mashur. "In this Yemeni spring, women are leaders." Mashur recalled how women took to the streets a year earlier in uprisings that resulted in a presidential election on February 17, ushering in what is expected to be a new democratic era for Yemen.
"Discrimination has prevented women from achieving high posts in the government," Mashur said. She is one of only three women who hold high-level national posts; there is one other woman in the Cabinet and one woman among the 301 elected legislators in Parliament.
USAID's Responsive Governance Project, which Counterpart International is implementing, co-sponsored the conference along with Yemen's Human Rights Ministry and the National Women's Committee. The conference is a key step toward a soon-to-be-announced public policy dialogue among the government, civil society, and the private sector, which will include gender issues.
Conferees debated draft positions, including access to education and maternal health services, banning childhood marriage, and eliminating discriminatory practices. A final document is expected later in April. Elizabeth Richard, Chargés d'Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Yemen, delivered a speech with a quote from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that tied the Yemeni spring to events in the rest of the world: "When women organize in large numbers, they galvanize opinion and help change the course of history," said Richard.
In Sana'a, I could see and feel how they were rising to this unique moment in history.

Living with Tuberculosis: A Personal Note
World TB Day has a special meaning for me, and it is not just because of my job as a USAID Health Officer in Kazakhstan. It is because every morning for the past four months I have taken a daily isoniazid pill to treat my latent tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis, or TB, is a contagious chronic bacterial infection that is spread through the air and usually infects the lungs. More than 2 billion people—one-third of the world's total population—are infected with TB bacilli, the microbes that cause TB, but do not show symptoms (latent TB). In the United States, between 10 and 15 million people are infected with latent TB. In other parts of the world, like in Central Asia, this number is much higher.
I found out that I had latent TB at the exam to get my first medical clearance as a foreign service officer. I suspect that I was exposed to TB while I was a volunteer in Indonesia years before. Although I was shocked and worried when I got the diagnosis, the nurse reassured me and explained that latent TB is widespread in many developing countries and that there are options for treatment. I was pregnant then so isoniazid treatment—what I'm taking now—was not an option.
I learned soon after I was diagnosed with latent TB that anyone—grandparents, fathers, mothers, and children—can be exposed and infected. In the three minutes that it will take you to read this blog post, nine people will have died from TB. Although my chance of becoming sick with active TB in my lifetime is only 1 in 10, I felt that it was important to mitigate this risk and undergo the six-month treatment regimen. Every year, approximately 2 million people die from TB.
Compared with the experience of a typical TB patient in Central Asia, the past four months have been incredibly easy for me. In Kazakhstan, for example, a patient with active TB is required to be hospitalized in a TB treatment facility for a minimum of two months even if she is no longer contagious after a short period of treatment. She is not allowed to go to work or see her family and often faces tremendous stigma and discrimination if people find out she has TB. Moreover, poor infection control practices in TB facilities greatly increase the risk that patients will be exposed to and contract either drug-sensitive TB or, worse, multi-drug resistant TB (MDR TB). MDR-TB is a form of TB that does not respond to standard first-line TB treatment, making the treatment longer, more costly, and more likely to result in serious adverse effects. Since TB is contagious and someone with active TB can infect an average of 10 to 15 people a year, infection control is critical to protect both patients and health care providers.
MDR-TB can also caused by failure to complete the standard course of TB treatment. If I were a TB patient in Central Asia, after months in a TB hospital, I would be required to visit a health facility every day for at least seven months to take TB drugs as part of directly observed therapy. The health facility is sometimes located far away from the patient's home. Given these challenges, it is no wonder that patient adherence rates to treatment can be as low as 25 percent in some places in Central Asia.
On World TB Day, I am heartened by the work that USAID has been doing in Central Asia to reduce the spread of this terrible disease. Across the region, we are working with governments, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria, and other international partners to focus our efforts in three areas. First, we are reducing the time that patients are required to stay in TB facilities by improving outpatient TB treatment in order to prevent hospital-based transmission of MDR TB and increase treatment adherence. We also are introducing new diagnostic technologies that can diagnose MDR TB within a few hours as opposed to a few weeks, which will expedite their care plan , as well as to help reduce the time that undiagnosed MDR TB patients are potentially exposing others, both in the community and in health care facilities. Finally, we are supporting an intensive program to build the skills of health providers, communities, and patients to understand and address the treatment and care of people with TB and MDR TB.

Small, but Perfectly Formed: Coffee Drives Development in Timor-Leste
The road south out of Dili climbs steadily, winding back and forth with spectacular switchbacks on a paved but narrow road, one of the few that crosses Timor-Leste, ultimately reaching the country's south coast. I am told Timor-Leste is about the size of Connecticut – a state I have traversed many times in just a couple of hours. Here, a couple of hours might get you into the middle of the country, but certainly not all the way across. Of course, Connecticut doesn't have Timor-Leste's mountains; at nearly 10,000 feet above sea level, Mt. Ramelau towers over the country's central highlands.
Despite the travel complications they create, it is these mountains that have put Timor-Leste on the map as one of the top coffee-producing nations in the world. The high elevation, sloping terrain, and regular rainfall make it a near-perfect coffee-growing area—the Timor hybrid coffee produces a delicious brew. As a result, coffee now accounts for 90 percent of all non-petroleum exports for this small island nation, and most of it is bought by Starbucks.
As we rose through the lush, verdant countryside, we quickly reached coffee plots right alongside the road. My guide and teacher was Bency Issacs, the senior technical advisor for USAID's coffee and agriculture rehabilitation project, run by the U.S.-based National Cooperative Business Association. The project helps more than 23,000 farm families, about 15 percent of Timor-Leste's population.

Fighting TB in India, One Lab at a Time
Phil Carroll is the Senior Policy Communications Associate at USAID partner organization PATH. He spent two weeks in India last fall visiting PATH programs related to maternal and child health, tuberculosis, immunizations, and safe water and diarrheal disease. Originally posted at the Global Health Technologies Coalition Blog.
India is a country that changes dramatically from place to place, something I experienced firsthand while on a two week trip there this past fall. One day I was listening in on a mothers' group meeting in one of the poorest villages in Uttar Pradesh state, and less than 24 hours later I was standing in one of the world's most technologically advanced airports in Hyderabad—often referred to as the 'Silicon Valley' of India. It was during this leg of my journey where I was further convinced of the need for sustained investment in research and development.
In a laboratory on the outskirts of the city, I met a handful of Indian doctors and researchers who are doing some pretty amazing, albeit subtle, things in health. Thanks to a small, less than $100,000, investment by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the Blue Peter Public Health & Research Centre upgraded its tuberculosis (TB) lab to a higher level of biosafety. Improvements like better equipment and infrastructure and enhanced safety measures have enabled researchers here to diagnose a case of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in a matter of days, a process that used to take the same team several months.
This is significant for a host of reasons. Diagnosing TB on the early side can help get patients on treatment faster, thereby reducing further deterioration of their lungs and other organs and ultimately save their lives. Catching TB early on can also curtail the spread of this incredibly contagious disease to others. India, which has the highest incidence of TB in the world, and 20 percent of the world's burden, needs these sorts of advancements now more than ever. Currently, the government of India, as part of its National TB program, is only reaching 25 percent of MDR-TB patients with diagnosis. However, by 2013, it is aiming for 100 percent coverage, or around 2 million TB patients.

USAID and Peace Corps Partner for Volunteers' Return to Nepal
USAID joined Peace Corps this month in Washington and Kathmandu to celebrate the return of its volunteers to Nepal for the first time in seven years.
In Kathmandu, Nepal's Prime Minister, Dr. Babarum Bhattarai, said at an event at his offices that "I am very pleased with the return of the Peace Corps to Nepal. From the early 60s, thousands of volunteers have served in districts all across this country. I remember in much of the 60s and 70s the volunteers were a big source of teachers for subjects like math and science. I am very glad that with USAID's assistance, the volunteers are coming back one more time to help with agriculture and health. Those are areas that need help, and I welcome the decision to redeploy the Peace Corps."
Among those volunteers who served in Nepal include William Douglass, who now works with USAID. "Serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nepal 45 years ago gave me unique opportunities to meet and work with a wide range of Nepalese villagers, urban dwellers and government officials throughout the country. I came away from Nepal with a strong appreciation for the people and the culture, and together with my wife who was also a volunteer, have taken many opportunities to return. During two assignments in the USAID mission in the 1980s and the 1990s, I was able to promote and support Peace Corps and USAID collaboration on Nepal Government projects. I and the many other former volunteers, including a number working with or for USAID, welcome this renewed collaboration to support Nepal's development efforts after many years of conflict."

Inventing the People by Edmund S. Morgan
Book Awards
Book DescriptionThis book makes the provocative case here that America has remained politically stable because the Founding Fathers invented the idea of the American people and used it to impose a government on the new nation. His landmark analysis shows how the notion of popular sovereignty-the unexpected offspring of an older, equally fictional notion, the "divine right of kings"-has worked in our history and remains a political force today.

Reveals Benjamin Franklin's human side, his tastes and habits, his enthusiasms, and his devotion to democracy and the people of the United States. Drawing on life-long research in the vast Franklin archives, this book includes lesser-known writings that offer insights into this founding father's thinking.
US Kirkus Review » A new interpretation of the rise of the "rule of the people" in England and America, by the distinguished revolutionary historian Morgan (American History/Yale), author of The Genius of George Washington (1981) and a dozen others. One of Morgan's strengths as a historian is his ability to recognize the seeds of a trend in an ironic counter-trend. In the past, for instance, he has argued that the juxtaposition of slavery and the idea of freedom was actually logical, for by curtailing the growth of a discontented white laboring class, slavery nourished white representative government. Similarly, here Morgan argues that the old concept of the divine right of kings was in fact the seedbed of popular control of government. In some trenchantly argued essays, the author elaborates on this theme. For example, the adversaries of King Charles I used the "divine right" concept to oust his most egregious advisors, reasoning that since the king was divine and could not be corrupted, it was their duty to save him from bad counsellors. From there, the "slippery slope" ultimately led to a weakened king, a ruling Parliament, and what Morgan calls the "fiction" of popular control in America. The author claims that the shared belief in this "fiction" binds our country - even though what really happened in 1787 was that the Founding Fathers "invented" the idea of an American people and "imposed" a government on them. Although Morgan's final argument is a bit strained - the "people," after all, had to vote to ratify their new government - this is, overall, a well-constructed historical argument. (Kirkus Reviews)

A year after her first daughter drowned, a mother still struggling with grief becomes pregnant with another child who could be evil incarnate. After Jamie Ashford (Victoria Pratt) lost her daughter, she took precautions to ensure that she wouldn't get pregnant again anytime soon. A few short months later, however, Jamie learns that she is once again with child. Not only is Jamie's labor and delivery particularly difficult the second time around, but despite her aura of innocence the newborn Caitlin displays a dark streak that chills her mother to the very bone. When a sudden series of tragedies befall her home, Jamie begins to suspect that Caitlin could be possessed by a malevolent spirit. But is Caitlin truly evil, or has Jamie's overwhelming guilt finally caused her fragile psyche to crack beyond repair? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Fields is an abstract floral tulip painting created using the Adobe sketch app. It was inspired by my love for all things floral, especially tulips. As a girl I would pick all the tulips from my mothers garden for my teachers without telling her until there were flowers left. Today I let them grow and admire them from afar.

(this is his dominant personality type)
(he also shows elements of this type)
You can't find Mr. Right by looking at Mr. Wrong! :)
He is a highly spontaneous, inquisitive and energetic person who always likes to try new things and has a genuine desire to be helpful to others and to the world at large.
He is charismatic, agreeable and adaptable and he can adapt to just about any social situation, convincing others he is just like them.
He is drawn to people who are direct, decisive and tough minded to balance out his flexible, spontaneous, intuitive style.
A few excerpts from his personality test:
- Taking care of my possessions is a high priority for me
- I am very empathetic
- I think it is important to be direct
His 20 interests
in his own words...
Why settle for the average guy? You won't catch me flopped on the couch in a ratty t-shirt surfing 300 channels of TV on a Saturday morning or find me with my head stuck in an engine compartment of some old truck. I am up for most anything and love a good suggestion. I like being outside, going places and doing things. I am always game for a good movie, a decent restaurant or a quiet dinner for two. I like to experience life, have a sense of adventure and consider myself to be well traveled. I do not have the typical male mentality and am NO mamma's boy! I value honesty, loyalty, kindness and open communication. I know who I am and have a talent for listening. My friends would describe me as funny, compassionate, smart and dependable. I am an achiever and very entrepreneurial. I love learning new things and am the type of person who has to finish what I start. I also volunteer my time weekly feeding Phoenix's homeless and drug addicted. I know that pictures and write-ups can be deceiving so I want to emphasize that what you see and read here is what you get. I am 6'1" tall and weigh 188 pounds. Take a look at my picture- I look much better in person! I know how to treat a lady and consider myself to be a gentleman. I can love, be friends and have a committed relationship. But why rush? If we are right for each other let's spend the time building something that will last because, let's face it, dating stinks! Does my profile resonate with you? If so, send me an email-- it can't hurt and who knows, we may end up as friends or something much better!

Benning Violins-Studio City Music
Accessories, Violin, Instrumentalists
Violinists and other instrumentalists will find that tuners, metronomes and other useful and necessary violin accessories are now available as applications, or "apps" on smart phones. While many musical appscome in the form of animated games and other toys for kids, there are also apps designed for professional instrumentalists to use. For established musicians, smart phone apps may never replace an accessory's real life equivalent, butmany apps are free of charge andcan fulfill the practical functions not as well asthe 'real' ones, but well enough.
Violin players have used metronomes for centuries. The device, patented by John Maelzel in 1815,produces steady clicks to help the instrumentalist to maintaina steady andeven rhythm while playing music. Metronomes can typically be adjusted by the number of beats per minute, from a slow tempo of 30 BPMsto a very fast allegro of 250BPMs. Metronome apps such as Mobile Metronome for Android are free and do the trick; perhaps not as well as a portable electronic metronome or its old-fashioned analog pendulum-swinging counterpart, but well enough to use "on the road" or in any crunch situation. Metronome Plus for iPhone is the most highly rated app, with a sleek design and rhythmic visualizations, speeds adjustable by tapping, and allowing other apps to be opened concurrently, great for musical multitasking.
The tuning fork, invented in 1711 by John Shore, has been used by violinists to tune open A-strings to 440 Hz, the standard for allstringed instruments inWestern music. Several apps not only perform this function well but also measure pitch through the phone's microphone and suggest raising and lowering the pitch. The highest ranked tuning app is ClearTune for iPhone. For $3.99 it provides a user-friendly interface with a dial that turns towards sharp or flat when any note is played. Customizations are available, giving the user a selection of other temperaments, notations and transpositions.
While the use of these apps by players of violins, cellos and violas is widespread, they are utilized mostly for the sake of convenience and portability. String players tend to be traditional when it comes to their instruments, including their accessories. An iPhone could never permanently replace a beautiful, wooden metronome in a classy studio, ever.

2005 Chapelle Chambertin Louis Jadot
This Product is currently unavailable. Please check back later or contact us directly and we will endeavour to source it for you.
Average critic rating : 92.33 points
Like the Griotte, the highly complex and distinguished nose is almost exclusively from the red berry side of the aromatic spectrum with round and rich but noticeably wood-influenced flavors where the oak is more of a textural aspect than a taste factor because it rounds off the finish. The material is sufficiently gifted to eventually deal with the wood but probably at the cost of precision and detail. Perhaps this will surprise to the upside as the old vine extract is certainly present in spades. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Apr01,2007.
Jadot's 2005 Chapelle-Chambertin smells brightly of ripe cherry, red licorice and smoked meat. Bitter-sweet cherry and smoky pungency on the palate are augmented by savory, meaty, salty, and bitter cherry pit. This positively blazes a path in its finish, with almost glaring brightness, mouth-watering salinity and invigorating hints of bitterness. There is nothing cuddly about the texture of this obviously age worthy beauty, however, its fine tannins are thoroughly covered by fruit and in no way weigh-down its dynamic personality. David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate # 171, Jun 2007
Jadot's 2005 Chapelle-Chambertin smells brightly of ripe cherry, red licorice and smoked meat. Bitter-sweet cherry and smoky pungency on the palate are augmented by savory, meaty, salty, and bitter cherry pit. This positively blazes a path in its finish, with almost glaring brightness, mouth-watering salinity and invigorating hints of bitterness. There is nothing cuddly about the texture of this obviously age worthy beauty, however, its fine tannins are thoroughly covered by fruit and in no way weigh-down its dynamic personality. ||Jacques Lardiere has once again presided over a collection for the most part not intended to flatter in its youth, but rather to achieve an eventual balance of fruit acidity with (in this instance frequently quite prominent) tannin. Prolonged post-fermentative extraction promoted a formidably-structured group of wines, which Lardiere expressed no hurry about bottling. Certain of these – particularly from the Cote de Beaune – displayed a slightly drying finishing astringency or simply an austere lack of charm to match their concentration, traits Lardiere suggested might be traceable to drought stress in those sites. A brief July rain that reached the Cote de Nuits but not the Cote de Beaune was critical, he asserts, and all of Jadot's vines in the northern Cote were picked before the harvest in the south commenced. (Wines from the Domaine Louis Jadot, Domaine Heritiers Louis Jadot, or Domaine Gagey, have been identified with a letter "D" in their listings.)||Also recommended: 2005 Cote de Nuits-Villages Le Vaucrain ($25.00;86+?), 2005 Santenay Clos de Malte ($27.00; 85-87), 2005 Savigny-les-Beaune Aux Guettes (84-86+?), 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges ($37.00; 85-87+?), 2005 Chambolle-Musigny ($50.00; 85-87+?).

Louis Jadot: The Importance
Maison Louis Jadot is highly commended by Robert Parker, who calls them "probably the best run negociant firm in Burgundy" and writes that "one can be almost certain that a Jadot wine from Burgundy, from whatever part of their enormous spectrum of wines, including those of villages level, will possess clarity of flavour and a site-specific distinction." Antonio Galloni and Allen Meadows also regularly give top scores to Jadot.
Due to Burgundy's intracacies, Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines from Louis Jadot are no less rare or sought after than their counterparts from smaller growers, meanwhile the quality tends to be much more reliable because of the scale of their operation and their extraordinary range of terroirs and climats combined with expert winemaking and vineyard management.
Louis Jadot: The Insight
Robert Parker says that "it is hard to single out individual stars in the illustrious Jadot nebula, but their long- keeping Pinot Noir from the monopole Beaune Clos des Ursules (part of the Vignes Franches premier cru) is something of a flagship, and the Jadot Musigny and Jadot Chevalier -Montrachet Les Demoiselles frequently represent the summits of Jadot artistry." This last wine has also wowed Allen Meadows, who calls it "without question a reference standard example of a great Chevalier. The purity, elegance and sheer beauty of this wine is frankly difficult to adequately describe as words just don't seem up to the task."
Counting Grands Crus alone, Jadot have Chardonnay plantings in Corton Charlemagne, Corton Grèves and Corton Pougets as well as Le Montrachet, Chevalier Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet making some of the finest white Burgundies on the market. The Grand Cru list of reds is no less impressive, featuring Bonnes-Mares, Chambertin, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, Charmes-Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Laticières-Chambertin, Griotte-Chambertin, Clos de la Roche, Clos de Vougeot, Clos Saint-Denis, Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux, Musigny, Richebourg and Romanée-Saint-Vivant.
According to Robert Parker: "there is no Jadot house style, save for rich, well-delineated, structured wines that stand the test of time." The incredible range of quality wines produced by Jadot in every kind of cru is best understood in the words of the legendary technical director Jacques Lardière: "There are so many great wines made in the less well-known villages, and if people want to find great value and great wines, it is very, very possible if they will look beyond the most famous appellations. All it takes is a little imagination. Look at the hill of Corton for instance- we have Corton Pougets, Corton "Grèves and a Corton rouge that are all fantastic wines – deep, structured and beautiful expressions of their underlying terroir. Or look at a wine like the Savigny-lès-Beaune Clos des Guettes or Pommard "Rugiens – just great wines year in and year out!"
Louis Jadot: The Background
Jacques Lardière retired in December 2012 but then almost immediately got back to work setting up the Résonance in Williamette Valley, Oregon. The current face of the winery Frédéric Barnier worked alongside Lardière for several years before taking over, just as a generation ago Lardière himself apprenticed under the renowned André Gagey.
Skills have been handed down at Jadot since 1826, when the Domaine was established as one of the earliest Burgundy negociants. After the Second World War, the domaine benefitted from investment by American importer Kobrand. This partnership was negotiated by Rudoph C. Kopf, who founded the prestigious wine importing company in 1944 and headquartered its offices in the Empire State Building. Kopf already commanded the respect of the American market, having set up the fine wine department at New York City's iconic department store Macy's. Kobrand helped Jadot to continue acquiring prestigious Burgundy domaines, some of which are still referenced on labels today, such as Duc de Magenta, Gagey, Ferret and the recently successful Château des Jacques in Beaujolais.

Huggies has come up with a new product that is designed for the smallest of consumers -- a new diaper sized for nano preemies.
Nano preemies, according to Huggies, are babies who are born premature, but who weigh less than 2 pounds.>> Read more trending news
Neonatal intensive care units have had difficulties finding diapers for babies that small, so the diaper company worked with nurses and other healthcare professionals to come up with the Huggies Little Snugglers Nano Preemie Diaper.
The diapers, which are barely the size of an adult's hand, went from design phase to shelves in only six months.
Included in the design are smaller fasteners, a narrower absorbent pad so babies can tuck their legs into a fetal position and a soft liner that is said to be gentle to the fragile, underdeveloped skin.
Nine NICUs tested the diapers before the general release.
Huggies said that both their Nano and Micro Preemie diapers go through a hand inspection and are individually folded.
A picture of an Alabama boy visiting the grave of his twin brother on his first day of school has gone viral as the twins' mother speaks out about the condition that killed her son before he was born.
Walker Myrick, of Florence, is now 9 years old, but it is a picture taken in 2012, when he was 5, that has gained international attention. Walker's mother, Brooke Myrick, said she vividly remembers that day.
Walker was at his brother's grave before Myrick could get out of the car. When she caught up with him at the burial site, she found Walker sitting with his back against his brother's headstone, telling him about his first day of school.
She snapped a photo to remember the moment.
Myrick said Thursday that Walker has always felt a bond with his brother, Willis, who died after the boys developed twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome in the womb.
"He truly has a connection with him and always has," Myrick said.
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, or TTTS, can occur when identical twins share a common placenta. According to the Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome Foundation, the condition results in abnormal blood vessels connecting the twins' umbilical cords and circulation.
The placenta, and the blood and necessary nutrients for survival, are shared unequally by the twins, according to the TTTS Foundation. The "donor twin" suffers from decreased blood volume, slower than normal growth and little or no amniotic fluid.
The "recipient twin" then becomes overloaded with blood, which puts a strain on the heart, and ends up with too much amniotic fluid. The condition can be deadly for both twins.
TTTS can occur at any time in a woman's pregnancy, including during birth, the foundation said. The majority of identical twins share a placenta and, of those twins, about 15 percent develop TTTS.
Myrick and her husband, Michael, learned that their twins were in trouble only after a routine ultrasound, during which the technician could not find Willis' heartbeat. Placenta testing and signs exhibited by Walker throughout the remainder of Myrick's pregnancy pointed to TTTS as the cause of Willis' death.
Willis, who died about two months before the boys were born, weighed just 4 ounces at birth.
Myrick said the family honors Willis' memory every year with a charity walk, held around the twins' March 6 birthday, to raise awareness of TTTS. This year's walk will be held on March 5, according to a Facebook page dedicated to the event.
Myrick said Walker has read several of the stories written about him and his brother, though she has tried to shield him from any negative reactions that readers have had.
"I have showed Walker a few of the articles, and he leaned his head on me as he read them. We have always had a strong bond," Myrick said.
Some people who have read the twins' story have accused Myrick of instilling grief in Walker and his siblings, 2-year-old Bryant, 4-year-old Cooper and 8-year-old Jolie. The children visit Willis' grave on holidays and other special occasions.
"They love to pick him out little cars, (or) some kind of trinket," Myrick told "Inside Edition" in an interview. "It's just always made (them) feel good to do things like that for their brother."
Myrick said Thursday that Walker is "very confident" about remembering his brother.
"He doesn't care how anyone views it," she said. "He loves his brother."
An app that's widely available and free for download has caught the attention of federal investigators.
The app "Yellow" is known as "Tinder for kids," and critics said it's a playground for child predators. It works through SnapChat and markets itself as a way to make new friends, but there is virtually nothing stopping a child predator from using the app and pretending to be a teenager to meet other teens.
"When I looked at it, I realized it's just another ploy for these child predators to get onto to become friends with my son," said Heidi Pritchard, a mother who caught her 15-year-old son trying to download Yellow.
"When I first told him about the dangers I got the eye roll. But once he read the stories, he realized it can be scary," Pritchard said.>> Read more trending news
FBI agents in the Pittsburgh office said predators are using apps more than ever.
When you sign up for a new account in the Yellow app, it asks for your birth date, including the year. There's nothing in the step to prevent an adult or a predator from creating a fake birth date, and saying they're 13, 14, 15 or 16, then immediately getting matched up with teenagers to chat or exchange pictures.
"Some of these guys with a little bit of cyber background can extract data from these pictures and actually get the geographical location of where the picture was taken," said FBI Agent John Orlando.
The app reports having 7 million users and is very popular overseas. In the United Kingdom, one of the largest child advocacy groups is demanding Yellow create an age verification system.
In Western Pennsylvania, school officials said battles against apps like Yellow are never-ending.
"There's no parent or educator or a decent person in their right mind who would think that's a good idea. But developers will do it as long as there's a market," said Aaron Skirbin, principal at South Fayette.
Skirbin said the best way to protect children is by giving them information.
"Education has to start before high school. Education has to start the moment a parent chooses to put a device in a kid's hand," he said.
Pritchard has Apple's "Family Share Plan," which means when one of her children tries to download an app -- whether it's free or paid -- she gets a notification and has to approve it.
"I don't want my kids to be afraid of the world, but I want them to know that there are scary situations out there," Pritchard said.
A South Carolina girl is thriving five years after a firefighter delivered her on an emergency call and decided to adopt her.
The story of Marc Hadden and the baby girl was originally shared by WMBF in 2012.
Marc's wife, Beth, said she will never forget the November 2011 night she got an excited call from her husband after delivering the baby.
>> Need something to lift your spirits? Read more uplifting news
"He called me and he was ecstatic. I mean, he delivered a baby, and who in the world gets to deliver a baby in their lifetime that's not a doctor?" Beth said.
Shortly afterward, the Haddens, who have two sons, learned that the baby girl had been put up for adoption. The family took it as a sign.
"Ever since we had the boys, we knew that we wanted more children," Beth said. "But I was pre-term with them, so we knew that it wasn't possible to have anymore babies. And we had it in our minds and in our hearts for years to adopt, and we just left it in God's hands. We said if it's meant to be, it will be."
Just 48 hours later, Marc and the baby were reunited, this time as father and daughter. Her new parents named her Rebecca Grace and decided to call her by her middle name.
Posted by Marc Hadden on Tuesday, April 16, 2013
"I don't know if I have words. I never envisioned that I would have a daughter. We are truly blessed, for sure," Marc said.
He added: "I don't even think about her being adopted. She's ours and we love her."
According to "Today," Grace, now 5, takes gymnastics and will start kindergarten this year. Beth, a teacher, works at the school that Grace will attend.
Her brothers, Parker and Will, are now 12 and 14, respectively.
"The boys absolutely love her, and she loves them," Marc told "Today."
He added that Grace knows the story of her birth.
"We have never hidden it from her," Marc told "Today." "If you ask her where she was born, she says, 'My daddy delivered me in the back of an ambulance.' She knows the whole story. I wanted her to know as soon as she was old enough to understand."

Taveon Glenn never saw the attention coming as the view count went higher and higher.
"It is life changing," said Glenn, a 20-year-old West Carrollton grad. "I am just wondering what her life will be like when she grows up. I want her to have everything I didn't have."

Every busy mom is a pro at multitasking.
As a mother of three young children, Ivanka Trump can multitask with the best of them. Before her father moved into the White House, she ran her own fashion company while raising her family. By the looks of it, the work never really stopped.
On Tuesday, the president's eldest daughter shared a sweet moment with her "personal assistant." Looking very official in the halls of the White House, Trump takes what appears to be a serious phone call as her youngest son looks playfully at the camera.
"Taking a call in the White House with my personal assistant Theodore," she captioned the moment.
The photo quickly went viral on Instagram, with more than 219,000 likes.

Earlier Tuesday, she shared another behind-the-scenes look at her father in action as commander-in-chief.
"At last week's meeting of the @whitehouse Business Advisory Council, one of the key items on the agenda was leveling the playing field for women in the workforce, including female small business owners–a topic of critical importance," she wrote alongside the photo.

A North Carolina mother is outraged, claiming surveillance video shows a daycare worker breastfeeding her child without permission.
The video is from inside Carrboro Early School, outside of Raleigh, North Carolina.
Kaycee Oxendine said that the woman on the video also has a young child in the day care, and that she suggested that breastfeeding may help Oxendine's son's constipation.
But Oxendine said her son was born lactose intolerant and had to be rushed to the hospital after the incident.
"That's an innocent baby. My baby couldn't say, 'No, don't do that.' He couldn't defend himself," Oxendine told WSOC-TV.
The day care worker was fired, but Oxendine said she hopes to press charges.
A Michigan woman is enjoying time with her new baby boy after doctors said she beat all odds, surviving an aneurysm while pregnant and making a full recovery.
Anna Weeber, of Michigan, is the proud mother of 4-week-old Hudson and 2-year-old Declan. She recently reunited with the doctor who saved her, Dr. Justin Singer, of Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids.
"I'm so excited," Weeber said, according to an article posted by Spectrum Health. "This is the guy that saved my life and my baby's life."
According to People, when Weeber was 26 weeks pregnant, she suffered a blinding headache while preparing to go out on a bike ride with her husband and her son. The pain was so bad that she started vomiting.
As her husband, Nate, called 911, she realized she couldn't feel the left side of her body.
"From that moment on, I don't remember anything," Weeber said.

When she arrived at the hospital, doctors performed tests and soon identified a ruptured brain aneurysm. An aneurysm occurs when a blood vessel balloons in the brain. When it ruptures, the vessel pops, and could cause a life-threatening stroke.
Singer felt moved by Weeber's case because his own wife was 24 weeks pregnant at the time.
Weeber underwent surgery and spent weeks in the hospital for observation and recovery. Amazingly, she suffered no complications after the aneurysm.
According to Spectrum Health, half of the patients who suffer an aneurysm don't survive, and most who do survive never return to full health.
Last month, she and her husband welcomed their 9-pound baby boy.
"After Hudson was first born, he and I would make eye contact when I was holding him and I would just start crying," Weeber said. "We had both been through so much, and I felt like he knew that."
When the family reunited with Singer, his eyes welled up with tears.
"I didn't expect to feel so emotional," said Singer. "This is fantastic … It makes me feel good."
Anna and Nate credit her excellent recovery to the doctors who cared for her and the power of prayer. According to Spectrum Health, Nate put out a prayer request on Facebook when his wife first fell ill.
"People all around the world were praying for us," said Nate.
