A dose of live music in a perfectly serene intimate environment is completely detached from the utter mayhem of big-scale concerts. Classy live entertainment is the preference of many individuals, and other concerts tickets provide a perfect opportunity. Nashville's awe-inspiring music legacy comes to the fore as fans with other concerts tickets enjoy a three-course home-cooked meal with renditions of golden country songs at the wonderful Fontanel Mansion and Farm. The Niagara Falls is the picturesque backdrop to the rocking Cruisin Classics: a Night at the Diner show, while tribute band Slippery When Wet breaks through the ranks crooning to classic melodies in live music hubs. The awesome selection of other concerts tickets has something for every taste.
Slippery When Wet is America's biggest Bon Jovi tribute band, named in reference to the latter's Diamond-certified 1986 album which still stands as history's 21st highest-selling album. Vocalist Jason Morey (having a striking physical resemblance to Jon Bon Jovi) started it in 2003 when he was doing Bon Jovi covers along with his own material. He recruited Anthony Cappolino (guitar), Brian Nielson (bass), and John Martin (drums) to create the band. Music City on Stage is the perfect encapsulation of Nashville's unbelievable musical legacy. In the charmingly ambient environment of a three-course home-cooked dinner in the plush Fontanel Mansion and Farms, upcoming stars perform classic blues/country songs. The current cast contains Nashville's freelance singers/songwriters Chris Cline, Dana Romanello, Janelle Arthur, Jimmy Miller, Natasha Neely, and Renee Lopez. The Fallsview Casino Resort provides an even cozier locale for Cruisin Classics. Located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, the show has provided great entertainment since May 2008 in the form of six singers and 2 BG vocalists doing memorable numbers from the Baby Boomer age of 1955 to 1963. All are interwoven in the narrative of a diner owner looking to sell his place and reminiscing about its golden age.
Cruisin Classics provides easygoing hits of the late fifties in great elegance in its 90-minute set. The interwoven narrative is touching and takes listeners back to the youthful exuberance and romance of yesteryear. Scrumptious home-cooked food, consisting of First Course, Entrée, and Dessert, will tickle the taste buds of fans with other concerts tickets visiting the immaculate Fontanel Studio Gallery. Visit vouchers also guarantee a tour of the smashing 27,000 ft2 Mansion at Fontanel. Slippery When Wet's fame is in their amazing showmanship and ability to recreate the Bon Jovi live experience, having been officially authorized by the masters themselves to do their tribute shows in 2007.
Slippery When Wet has been known to improvise an "Arena-Club" experience, filling up arenas with their energetic shows. Cruisin Classics and Music City's dedication to live entertainment has seen the phrase "Dinnertainment" coined, and the performances are primed to perfection.
Other Concerts tickets reach out to that selective breed of party-goers who are as conscious about a perfect setting as they are about quality music. Indeed, nothing gets better than a fulfilling meal with music to soothe the soul.

Easter and Lent...
Hey everyone!
Just thought i'd keep a little on line diary of my 'pre-Easter' eating It may just kill me!
So, bascially, in the Greek Orthodox church you are ment to give up everything and anything that has come from an animal during lent (for some reason this is longer than regular lent). But because of my job i have not been able to do this.
So i am doing it for the last week!!
The good news is my grandma has asked me to cook Easter lunch for 12 on Sunday!! this is a BIG stuff! as Easter is massive for Greek people, much bigger than Christmas, and I cant wait!
So... any tips or ideas massively appreciated! also, im not eating gluten at the mo, to help my pregnant boss with her pregnancy, so i think this will be a week of carrot sticks

Georgie, I'm Russian Orthodox and the worst bit is my grandmother now lives in Australia, so I'm being deprived of an Easter feast! What are you going to cook?
#5 Mon 02 Apr 07 1:00pm
Re: Easter and Lent...
Ahh!!! So you understand the enormity of it you should come join us!! i warn you now, my family are mental.. so loud (im as qiuet as a mouse you see )
so, i am thinking, overnight slow roasted lamb shoulder, with bay and red wine and shallots etc... and for the fish eaters, skate wings with baby leeks and crushed garlic and thyme oil.
and then a gratin dauphinoise, braised spring vegetables (peas, beans, asparagus) and a lovely green herby salad. lots of fresh village bread and home made greek dips!
and then for pud i am doing a lemon meringue layer cake (chewy and lemony and creamy)
i am so hungry!

Re: Easter and Lent...
Oh wow, that sounds like a brilliant meal. I'm going to my boyfriend's family home on Thursday for the Easter weekend, that should be raucous enough! Still, I'll miss the food, like pascha (I have no idea how to spell that) and little silly things such as colouring eggs with my little sister... bless. Do you have any Easter traditions, food-wise?
#7 Mon 02 Apr 07 2:47pm
Re: Easter and Lent...
we colour the eggs too! and then play a game with them on easter sunday (you hit them and the winner is the one whose eggs is unbroken). Do you do that too?
we also go to church on saturday night at midnight, and then go home at 2am and eat a traditional egg lemon soup called avgolemoni. Also, the week before we make flaounes (bread rolls filled with a special cheese only made at easter)
sounds like you'll have a fun easter weekend though! will it be traditional english fare?
#8 Mon 02 Apr 07 2:56pm
Re: Easter and Lent...
Absolutely! I had a champion egg a few years ago, solid as a rock. Internaitonal competition standard, that one.
Yes, probably traditional English, as various elderly family members are somewhat less than adventurous.
How are the carrot sticks?
#9 Mon 02 Apr 07 2:58pm
Re: Easter and Lent...
Today so far:
Hot water and lemon,
gluten free cereal bar and blueberries
Homemade sweet potato soup, slice of rye bread and handful of soya beans
im getting there... i really would love a glass of wine though!

I spent most of my high-school days (or is that "daze"?) trundling around in an '85 Volvo 240DL wagon, a behemoth of a car that seemed to do everything--except go quickly--well. I miss it, but try as I might, I just can't justify dropping the cash on one. I think that it's certainly destined to be a classic, but (even if I could find a nice one) I don't think most people feel that way. Anybody else got any underappreciated Volvos?
A friend of mine had a Volvo 245 in college. It was dirt cheap, turbo, slow, and had a brake failure light. Pretty sweet ride, but certainly not worth the money to buy a decent example right now.
I learned to drive on a 1984 Volvo 245 (in '93)and I bought a 1986 244 in '96. The '86 was my college commuter. It was a rare '86 and a half model with push-button 5 speed overdrive. It also had heated seats. I bought it with 130k on the clock and I put 80k on it myself. Paid two grand. It was a great car and I do miss it. The B23F/B230F engine is fantastic, but parts are expensive.Recently, I had the opportunity to drive a new S40 and S60. I am not impressed with either of them. Neither looks nor feels like a Volvo. They are just like everything else out there. Enough said.
SSmith,If you come across a fine example, buy it. The 200,700,900 series cars are the last of the great Volvos.76Dave
Oh, this is so sad. The first car I ever bought (my actual first car was a free '57 Chevy that ran on three cylinders) was an eleven year old Volvo PV544, the model that looked like some old pre war Ford, with its big bulbous hood. I LOVED THAT CAR! I think it had a four-cylinder engine, and it had a bus-driver sized steering wheel and a four-speed manual. I put a quart of oil in it, oh, every 50 miles or so. I loaned it to my friend Pizza Allie from Pizza Bob's one weekend, alas. He gave it no oil, and the engine block cracked. I forgave him, but now that I think about it, I never forgave him.
Sigh. This isn't a good thing. Now I just spent half an hour on eBay looking for Volvo 240s. And a 164 four-door drove by me on lunch.
I've owned cars of all marques, but never a Volvo. Still, I have a ton of respect for the old 240's, and I am intrigued at how its owners talk about them. I would love to buy a 240 wagon just have as a beater car. They have so much character. And here in CT they are still pretty easy to find. One of these days...
We had a very well kept 84 245 wagon until 2 years ago. Something about them, yes. The body and engine was heavily built and the interior dimensions are spot on. The electrics were euro-dreadful. Mileage was 25-26 with an auto. It was a great car.But, I had the 'monthly fixes'. Window crank plastic bit blows out, water leaks, plugged engine ventilator plugs (clean by burning with bernzomatic) and causes engine to pump oil overboard on highway, leaving wife with broken rod and a long walk. (I rebuilt it with a leatherman.)I'd buy a new one today (with a good diesel and good electrics). We don't even look at the new ones. Subuaru ate their lunch long ago.

Turns out the plant is the only one in the US that manufactures calcium carbide, the raw material used to make acetylene. I don't know what it means for everyone else.

To San Franciscans and tourists alike, Union Square is synonymous with shopping. Here, Saks Fifth Avenue cozies up to Tiffany & Co., which winks its diamonds at the shiny windows of Macy's; hundreds of other stores court your credit card. But Union Square is also home to fine galleries, historic hotels, and grand theaters.
Start your tour in the middle of (1) Union Square Park, 2.6 acres of manicured gardens and granite platforms. This longtime gathering place earned its name just before the Civil War when supporters of the Union troops rallied here. In the center stands a towering monument to the 1898 triumph of Adm. George Dewey at Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War.
Next, join the steady stream of shoppers entering (2) Neiman Marcus at the intersection of Geary and Stockton streets. Inhale the scent of expensive perfume as you look up at the dazzling stained-glass dome, part of the 1909 City of Paris store that originally occupied this spot.
Walk up Stockton Street to (3) Maiden Lane. Once called Morton Alley, the lane was a haven for prostitution and crime until the fire following the 1906 earthquake destroyed the brothels and city officials gave the street a virtuous new name and image. Now, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent have set up shop.
Continue on Maiden Lane to the (4) Xanadu Gallery (www.xanadugallery.us) and look for the red tile to the left of the door bearing the signature of Frank Lloyd Wright, who designed the building in 1948. Step inside the Romanesque arch doorway to see the sweeping spiral ramp that echoes Wright's design for the New York Guggenheim Museum.
Head back to Stockton Street and turn right to see (5) Ruth Asawa's fountain. Completed in 1972, this playful tribute to San Francisco features the city's famous landmarks on 41 bronzed plaques. Look for Fisherman's Wharf, the Ferry Building, and Golden Gate Bridge.
Continue up Stockton to Sutter Street and turn left to reach the (6) 450 Sutter Building (www.450sutter.com). The lobby of this 1928 art deco skyscraper gleams with a gilded ceiling, etched with a maze of Mayan designs.
Turn left at Powell Street, where you're bound to see the Beefeater-costumed doormen at the (7) Sir Francis Drake Hotel (www.sirfrancisdrake.com). Walk down to Post Street, hang a right, and walk two blocks to Taylor Street.
On the ivy-covered walls of 624 Taylor Street look for a mysterious plaque reading, "Weaving spiders come not here," a quote from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and the motto of the (8) Bohemian Club, a private men's fine arts club that was founded in 1872. Former members include writers Jack London and Ambrose Bierce.
Head down Taylor Street, passing No. 504 at the corner of Geary and Taylor, the (9) birthplace of modern-dance pioneer Isadora Duncan; then turn left onto Geary. Let the dapper doormen at the ultra-hip (10) Clift Hotel (www.clifthotel.com) point the way to the Redwood Room (1933). There you can sink into a leather chair while you admire the wood-paneled room, reportedly carved from one 2,000-year-old redwood tree.
Back across Taylor Street, walk toward Union Square. On your right, the (11) Curran Theater (www.curran-theater.com), built in 1922, presents the acclaimed Best of Broadway series. Farther on, look for the ornate terra-cotta facade of the (12) American Conservatory Theater (formerly the Geary Theater); (www.act-sfbay.org), which first opened in 1910.
At Union Square, turn left on Powell Street to reach the final stop: the (13) Westin St. Francis Hotel (www.westinstfrancis.com). Since it opened in 1904, the opulent St. Francis has hosted monarchs and presidents, and served as a meeting place for San Francisco high-society. Top off your tour with a ride in one of the hotel's glass elevators for breathtaking views of the City by the Bay.

NPGA plans to testify at a Department of Energy (DOE) hearing today expressing our concerns over the agency's proposal to include vented gas log sets under the definition of Direct Heating Equipment. Direct Heating Equipment is equipment typically designed to provide heat to a given space such as room heaters, wall furnaces, floor furnaces, etc. and such equipment must meet minimum efficiency requirements. Vented gas log sets, and indeed, vented gas fireplaces are designed to provide decorative or aesthetic appeal. Their main function is not to provide heat even though some may provide incidental heat.
Part of NPGA's argument is that DOE overstepped its authority to regulate these types of products as the enabling statute does not define decorative products as Direct Heating Equipment. Moreover, DOE believes that by providing certain exclusion criteria, certain vented gas logs or gas fireplaces would be exempt from meeting DOE's minimum efficiency requirements. While we have some concerns over the exclusion criteria, our overriding concern is the regulation of these products as Direct Heating Equipment.
Written comments are due by September 20, and NPGA will be filing more detailed comments then. We are also exploring other possible options to prevail in this effort against DOE. We will keep you posted.

In this exclusive one-on-one interview with iProperty.com at the recent iProperty.com Expo at Marina Bay Sands, CEO of PropNex and Singapore's leading real estate expert Mohamed Ismail Gafoor discusses the latest trends in the Singapore and Malaysia property market. He also provides valuable advice for 2 growing demographic groups in Singapore: seniors who own a house and are planning for their life after retirement, and singles under 35 contemplating their first studio home purchase.
Q. You have often emphasized that landed housing in Singapore is by far the best choice for real estate investors. Could you tell us why?
Landed property will always be a goldmine – for the simple reason that land is in limited supply, and Singaporeans will always consider owning a landed house to be their ultimate dream.
However, not all landed properties are created equal. While the government can still release sites for landed properties with a 99-year lease, the existing stock of freehold landed properties are highly limited. I would lean away from landed properties with a 99-year lease as they present unique challenges for their owners. It is much harder for leasehold landed properties to meet the criteria for enbloc, as a 100% owner consensus is required – as compared to private condos more than 10 yrs old which need only 80%. There is only a 20-25% price difference at the entry-level for freehold vs. leasehold for landed properties, but the key advantage of freehold landed homes is that it provides for perpetual ownership, making it a much better deal.
Q. What are the possible implications of the proposal to double the entry price at which foreigners can buy real estate in Malaysia?
First of all, I can certainly understand the rationale behind such a policy proposal. Just as what has happened in Singapore, the Malaysian government is concerned about a property bubble forming, and likewise they also have to address the growing public concerns on the ground about rising property prices.
In spite of this, I remain very confident that the M$1 million minimum price for foreign purchasers of Malaysian property will not be a blanket limit across all states. In particular, such a policy would not be advantageous for the state of Johor especially when the entire Iskandar project is still at the infancy stage of development. It is likely the MY$1million minimum purchase price will apply to properties in the downtown KL region, but highly unlikely for areas such as Ipoh and Malacca.
As many well-off Singaporeans have already been picking up units well above the MY$1 million mark, it will not be surprising if they remain willing to pay for a good product which is still relatively affordable, particularly given the strength of the Singapore currency. Those most likely to be affected by the higher entry price are HDB upgraders, who have been mostly buying lower-tier fringe properties.
Q. What should senior citizens keep in mind when deciding if they should opt for the LBS (Lease Buy-Back Scheme), or "downsizing" to a studio flat instead?
The LBS has the advantage of allowing seniors to continue to stay in the same flat in the same environment they have grown used to after many years. While some may be concerned about "outliving" the 30 years remaining on the lease under this program, the reality is that there are many seniors who will require specialized care at a health-care facility by that age. Hence, although the take-up rate for the LBS scheme has been low, I do see some do see some merit in this program.
However, I consider "downsizing" to be the more exciting option among the two. Downsizing to a studio apartment allows seniors to be able to completely cash-out on their existing property and use part of the proceeds to buy a smaller elder-friendly property at a reasonable price. Living in an elder-friendly community with adapted facilities (e.g.: lifts and ramps) will also provide a close-knit community where seniors can grow old together. Furthermore, having a lump sum payment in hand also gives one a greater feeling of strength and security. However, the inherent risk in "downsizing" is that seniors who do not have necessary skill or discipline to manage their funds can lose everything very quickly. Hence, deciding which option to go is very much an individual decision.
Q: What advice do you have for single working professionals under the age of 35 who are contemplating investing into a private studio flat for their own-stay?
As Singapore's population continues to increase, it is inevitable that property sizes will shrink. Although shoebox unit sizes in Singapore are still decent compared with cities such as Tokyo and Hong Kong, it is undeniable that reduced space and high density will lead to a compromised lifestyle.
For single working professionals who want to move out of their parent's house into their own home for lifestyle reasons, I would say that it is perfectly okay to buy studio apartment – but they really need to look out for the PSF (price per square feet) they are paying. Although the quantum of studio apartments may be low, all capital appreciation is ultimately a by-product of rental yield. Hence, the risk is that if rentals do not go up much, there is limited room for capital to appreciate. Paying high prices for an entry-level studio flat in the outlying areas could mean there may be limited scope for rental appreciation.

Not only does he limit himself with his eyepatch but he also limits himself unconsciously. Where is this story going!? Shouldn't his limit be automatically removed if he finds else someone who is immensely strong like Bach? or Ichigo? or Yamamoto? Why am I even bothering to ask question about another typical shounen power up? I should be grateful that he didn't just bath in some magical onsen and got 50 STR +.
Edit: I am sorry for the rant. It is like 1:00 AM, forgive me.
Edit2: Bach even beat the crap out of him... Ok, I am going to bed.

Firstly I would say I am happy with the way things. The relationship is not so twisted.
chapter then brings answers:
_first Response, the battle between our two buddies has taken place at the time of the 13, at least immediately after, as Unohana is the captain but the hair in the wind, and the young "zaraki" reminds young "Kyoraku." One can easily say that it dates back 1000 years ago ... (The counter-argument if you find one ...)
_second Response translations on the last time, there is no special power to bring the dead back to life. It is simply pushing near death, near death etc.. and therefore the cure at the last moment in order (pending) BREAKING seal ken-chan that is self-imposed! HUGE
_and 3eme Response, the sin of the beautiful Yachiru! Well it is simply being selfish! thinking only of her, she leaves lives to this monster to satisfy his pleasure real fight. I find it very well led by Kubo.

No real surprises there. The fact Kenpachi is always unconsciously limiting himself was already brought up in the novels by Narita. I assume Kenpachi is going to become even more absurdly overpowered as he was in this.

Latest chapter was awesome... and I did not know that Zaraki was cute when he was a child and it's hard to believe that he was stronger that time than he was at his current age .
I have this strange feeling that the fanbase around the world is going to form a ship that is called UnohanaxZaraki.
I'm scared, my friends are talking about this ship as we speak. With their wild and naughty theories of Unohana killing and resurrection Zaraki countless times in order to sate her fetish for killing people.

It's rare for me to enjoy a few chapters in a row so much as I have since the whole Unohana vs Zaraki things started.
I must admit, I really liked how Kubo made the flashback and explained how Zaraki's power worked. So he was pretty much a complete monster but his fear of losing the only worthy adversaries made him subconsciously hold his power back. It's actually pretty damn cool and it explains why his matches have so close despite him being hyped up so much.
I also like what Unohana is doing with killing him and bringing him back to unshackle his power...I'm guessing fuller powered Zaraki will be a real overwhelming beast (though he'll of course be overshadowed by Ichigo cause...lolmaincharacter)

It's odd reconciling chief healer and general calm person Unohana with an Unohana who is so violent and mad that whenever people see a pile of corpses in her vicinity they say "There's Unohana, up to her murdering ways again" rather than looking around or feeling the presence of Kenpachi

The European Parliament's 24 committee chairs met the College of Commissioners for the first time on 7 October, to give their input to the Commission work programme for 2011. Participants discussed new sources of growth, the EU budget; economic and social issues; citizens, security and justice and external policies and fisheries. Further meetings will be held each year, under a recent agreement to enhance co-operation between the two institutions, in line with the Lisbon Treaty.
Parliament's delegation was lead by Klaus-Heiner Lehne (EPP, DE), who pointed out at the start that "this is a new and historic meeting, as it is the first time the Parliament's Conference of Committee Chairs meets with the College of Commissioners in joint preparation of the legislative work programme for next year. It is an example of the good co-operation between the institutions."
Discussion in five clusters
To facilitate discussion, topics were divided into five clusters: new sources of growth; budget; economic and social issues; citizens, security and justice and external policies and fisheries. Each cluster was opened by a chair of one of Parliament's committees, followed by a contribution from one of the Commissioners. There was also time for a short discussion in which MEPs could pose questions on specific legislative issues in all the clusters.
The aim of the meeting was to give Parliament's input into the Commission work programme for 2011, to be published on 27 October. Mr Lehne noted after the meeting that "this was an interesting exchange of views and a successful meeting."
After the Commission has presented the new work programme, Parliament will debate it and adopt a resolution on it in plenary session.
The Lisbon Treaty enhances co-operation between Parliament and the Commission. The meeting of committee chairs and Commissioners is a part of a new procedure that stems from the recently-negotiated Framework Agreement governing the relations between two institutions. This procedure gives enables Parliament to provide its input to following year's Commission work programme before it is adopted in October.

Pete's Point: Patriots have surprising success
This could have been a challenging season for the Pequot Lakes Patriots varsity volleyball team after losing seven players to graduation from a squad that won 24 games last fall. Then, over the summer, head coach Kate Dale's squad also lost senior Kayla Miller and sophomore Brittny Bzdok to ACL injuries.
But what would have been a rebuilding season has taken a memorable twist as the Patriots have compiled a 17-7 record this season following a runner-up finish at the Long Prairie/Grey Eagle tournament on Saturday, Oct. 12.
So how did Pequot Lakes turn around this season?
Part of the reason is the play of the team's two senior starters — setter Katie White, who has a team-high 397 set assists and is second with 141 kills, and Ashley Abear, who leads the team with 268 digs.
"Katie and Ashley have played very well," Dale said. "It's pretty unique to have (White) lead your team in set assists, and also be second in kills."
Another reason is the admirable play of new starters like sophomores Morgan Lohmiller and Laura Squires. Lohmiller finished with 27 kills and 12 blocks while Squires had 10 kills and 26 digs in the LP/GE tournament.
"Our younger girls like Morgan and Laura have played well," Dale said. "Morgan was the setter and Laura an outside hitter on the junior varsity team last year. They've stepped up this year, and Morgan leads our team with 20 ace serves."
But one of the biggest reasons for the Patriots' success is the return of senior hitter Vanessa Lane, who left volleyball to run cross country for Pequot Lakes last fall. Lane currently leads the Patriots with 183 kills and 87 blocks. She had 28 kills while adding nine blocks and five ace serves at LP/GE.
"I always loved volleyball, but I wanted to try something different last year," Lane said of her cross country career. "I do miss everyone from cross country, but I'm happy to be back with my friends on the volleyball team."
In some ways, Lane was inspired to return to volleyball after the season-ending injuries to Miller and Bzdok.
"I was there when Brittny tore her ACL," Lane said of the summer league. "I felt bad for Brittny and Kayla. They have inspired me, and I'm dedicating my senior year to both of them. They would have played the same position as me."
Lane said the Patriots worked hard over the summer, and now it's paying off.
"We're a young team, but we've grown together," she said. "We have good chemistry, and it's awesome to see the improvements."
Dale agreed.
"Vanessa has worked hard, especially with our setters," the coach said. "She has really filled a void in the middle.
"All of our kids have worked hard. Our younger girls have listened in practice, and our senior leadership with Katie, Vanessa, Ashley, Justyne (Litzau) and Jessica (Nies) has been a key."
Wet PR-B homecoming
Weather conditions became challenging for many state-wide high school football teams on Friday, Oct. 11, when heavy rain, wind and thunderstorms passed through the area.
The Pine River-Backus Tigers' homecoming game against visiting Blackduck featured a steady rain during most of the fourth quarter.
The Tigers and Drakes were mainly running in the final quarter since PR-B had scored four times on the passing combination of quarterback Zach Struss and receiver Brandon Mager earlier in the game.
Football games are not delayed by rain, although any chance of lightning does result in a delay in the game, or even a rare postponement. The start of Friday's game in Pierz was delayed one day because of continuous lightning. PR-B activities director Randy Schwegel was monitoring a large rain cell moving in from the west, and came down on the field to update game officials.
The weather situation became a challenge, not only for the players, but for more than 100 fans that stayed through the rain to watch the final play. It also became difficult for the newspaper reporters trying to write down game statistics on paper or take photos of the action.
Heavy rain in mid-October was just another chapter to an unusual year of weather in Minnesota, which also included an extended winter that hindered much of the high school spring season.

Chair: Associate Professor Wetzel
Professors: Lipkis; Associate Professors: Binford, Zerkle; Assistant Professor: Hess, Hirokawa; Special Appointment: Kompass, O'Boyle, Spieth; Artist-Lecturers: Andrus, Arnold, Azzati, Baer, Birney, Brodt, Burgan, DeChellis, Diggs, Doucette, Durham, Eyzerovich, Fix, Gairo, Gaumer, Giasullo, Gillespie, Goldina, Gregory, Haas, Huth, Kani, Kistler, Kozic, Mathiesen, Mento-Demeter, Mixon, Oaten, O'Brien, Owens, Rissmiller, Rostock, Roth, Rowbottom, Ruloff, Schrempel, Seifert, Simons, Socci, Terlaak Poot, Thomas, Thompson, Torok, Walker, Wilkins, Williams, Wittchen, Wright
Moravian College is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.
The Program in Music
The study of music encompasses theory, history, and performance, and emphasizes artistic and scholarly relationships. Given an integration of musical disciplines within a liberal arts framework, students gain an enhanced understanding of their art and a heightened perception of their intellectual development.
The program provides the means to develop essential musical competencies. Students will be able to:
- Demonstrate competency with fundamental musicianship skills, including sight-singing, solfeggio, and rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic dictation.
- Demonstrate proficiency in Western music theory, including standard principles of voice-leading and part-writing in diatonic and chromatic harmony and modal counterpoint.
- Develop an understanding of the major historical styles, epochs, and composers of Western music, from antiquity to the present.
- Demonstrate growth as performers in both solo and ensemble situations.
- Demonstrate an ability to improvise using a given set of parameters.
- Experience music from outside Western studies and styles, and to draw connections to Western music.
- Write and speak intelligently about music.
- Synthesize various aspects of music study (theory, history, musicianship, performance) in academic and performance venues, demonstrate critical thinking, and mature into well-rounded performing and thinking musicians.
- Demonstrate capacity to evolve into self-sufficient and lifelong learners in musical studies.
Several degree programs are designed for individual needs. Students should consult the Moravian College Music Department Handbook for a detailed description of departmental requirements. Artistic talent and experience, musical and educational preparation, and vocational objectives are some factors affecting the choice.
An interview-audition is required for admission to the music major. Specific audition requirements may be found on the Music Department website. The audition will include assessments in music theory, sight-singing, and keyboard proficiencies.
Prospective students should submit a music information form (available from the Admissions Office and the Music Department) and contact the department for an appointment. Audition dates for students entering in Fall 2017 or 2018 may be arranged by calling 610 861-1650.

Composition and sacred music majors will participate in the large ensemble that corresponds to their major performance area. A suitable ensemble placement, based on instrumentation and student's curricular needs, will be determined by the director of instrumental music or director of choral activities. Except for the first term of enrollment, the first term with a new private lesson instructor, and during student teaching, students also participate in one performance class per semester.
Music majors receive a letter grade that combines the major lesson grade, any secondary lesson grade(s), the large ensemble grade, any chamber ensemble grade(s), the jury grade, performance class grade (when required), and performance class and recital attendance.
Music minors receive lesson grades. Attendance at a number of performances is required (see departmental handbook). Non-majors take lessons for a pass/fail grade.
Course credit is granted for membership in Choir, Orchestra, Marching Band, and Wind Ensemble. Auditions are scheduled in the fall of each year or at other times by appointment. Ensemble participation is part of the performance credit and grade for the major. For music minors and other non-majors, a half-unit of credit is given after four terms of participation and a second half-unit of credit after six terms of participation. No more than one unit may be counted toward degree requirements by non-majors; additional ensemble activity is recorded without credit notation. LinC credit is available for some ensembles; six terms of participation are required. Additional assignments are required for LinC credit.

The Rise and Fall of Yik Yak, the Anonymous Messaging App
May 27, 2017
An abscess is a collection of pus in any part of the body that, in most cases, causes swelling and inflammation around it.
Abscesses occur when an area of tissue becomes infected and the body's immune system tries to fight it. White blood cells move through the walls of the blood vessels into the area of the infection and collect in the damaged tissue. During this process, pus forms. Pus is the buildup of fluid, living and dead white blood cells, dead tissue, and bacteria or other foreign substances.
Abscesses can form in almost any part of the body. The skin, under the skin, and the teeth are the most common sites. Abscesses may be caused by bacteria, parasites, and foreign substances.
Abscesses in the skin are easy to see. They are red, raised, and painful. Abscesses in other areas of the body may not be seen, but they may cause organ damage.
Types of abscesses include:
Treatment varies, but often surgery to drain the abscess, antibiotics, or both are needed.
Preventing abscesses depends on where they develop. For example, good hygiene can help prevent skin abscesses. Dental hygiene and routine care will prevent tooth abscesses.

CEO Steve Smith said the company saw "healthy demand" in the quarter and noted "a number of strategic wins in our cloud vertical, including a multi-site partnership with Microsoft Azure, that leverages our unique global platform, network density, and customer base to enable the hybrid-cloud deployments of the future, further widening the moat around our business."
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue in a range of $559 million to $563 million, which is above the consensus of $556 million.
Equinix also said it named former Verizon Comminications network services director Ihab Tarazi as its new chief technology officer.
During a conference call following the report, Smith talked about rising global demand that is presenting opportunities and also heightened competition. He specifically touted the company's progress in supporting cloud computing, which is something different from the traditional hosting business:
Many of you have asked whether the cloud is an opportunity or a threat. For Equinix cloud is unequivocally a sizable growth opportunity. Cisco projects that cloud traffic will grow at of 35% CAGR over the next four years, and will account for over two-thirds of the global data center IP traffic by 2017. Given our network density, Equinix is the natural place to meet this demand and provide competitive advantage for cloud service providers as well as enterprise. This quarter, cloud and IT services again delivered record bookings, and continues to be our highest growth vertical as many cloud players leverage Platform Equinix to deploy their service. With over 1,200 cloud and IT services customers, Equinix is the best location for enterprises to access leading software as a service, infrastructure as a service and cloud enablers to leverage the cloud. Hyper cloud deployments are a major growth opportunity for Equinix, as enterprises seek to take advantage of bursting into the cloud, while retaining control over critical data and applications.
CFO Keith Taylor said the company's plan to convert into a real-estate investment trust is on track for January 1st:
We continue to move forward with our plans to convert to REIT starting January 1, 2015. And currently do not expect a delay to this timeframe. On slide 7 we summarize the various expected REIT cash costs and taxes, similar to our discussion last quarter. In the third quarter we incurred approximately $8 million in cash costs for REIT and other tax-saving initiatives primarily related to professional fees. And expect to incur roughly $11 million in additional REIT-related cash costs in Q4. With respect to income taxes, similar to the prior quarter, our 2013 estimated cash tax liability is expected to range between $150 million and $180 million. On a year-to-date basis we've paid $58 million in REIT-related cash taxes. We're tightening our range of US tax liabilities related to D&A recaptured to narrow range between $360 million to $380 million, of which $162 million has either been sheltered by our prior NOLs or cash taxes paid to date.

An Introduction
I am still fairly new to IT Security and Hacking, only about eight months or so. Though I have little applicable knowledge of Pen Testing, it seems to be a field that never runs out of challenges or new things to learn. And that is a really attractive aspect of a career field.
Since I'm already posting, might as well fire off a quick question.
I'm looking for some good sites for IT Security news. I've done a little Google'ing which has turned up a few good ones, but what's your favorite?
Thanks for you time,

Re: Uncharted TV Submissions[ Edited ]
Yeah okay I don't usually like doing ego stroking productions, but when someone legitimately needs a help in hand I will step in and give that hand, afterall thats what community is about.
Yeah I know I broke 3 minutes. Thats because of content used, I admit I was heavily inspired by the earlier works of Rockshow for doing it, and.. The cinema kept killing my PS3 whenever I wanted to be creative and do my own thing like tunneling intros. So I just went with something that wouldn't keep killing my PS3.
Nope. I wont do my own series on this, I'm planning some sort of scene manipulation project though.
Eh I don't know why I'm posting here really. LOL I guess I'm bored and wanted to see if ND really did hate me because they sure love those ego movies.
So I'll know after this post if ND hate me or love ego movies more than hate me.
For the record, had fun editing and putting it all together, didn't enjoy watching the players so much.. Lol
