Fashion and Art for Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief
In the hours following the March 11 earthquake in Japan and the resulting tsunami, Web and social media sites were inundated with messages of support and hope for Japan's citizens. And although Philanthropy Today has reported that donations to Japan are coming more slowly than they have after other recent disasters, like the 2010 Haiti earthquake and Hurricane Katrina, proceeds from a variety of products created in the name of Japanese disaster relief have contributed to the $161 million donated by Americans as of March 25.
From well-known designers including Tory Birch and Anna Sui, to thousands of lesser-known artists at Web sites like cafepress.com, New Yorkers are creating products and donating portions of the profits to Japanese earthquake and tsunami relief.
For ceramic artist Ayumi Horie, the day after the Japanese earthquake was the day she started plotting a creative way to raise money for Japan. On the phone from her Hudson Valley studio, Horie sounded sleep-deprived after working 18-20 hours a days int he days following the quake to organize an online auction called Handmade for Japan. Horie enlisted her friends Ai Kanazawa Cheung and Kathryn Pombriant Manzella, plus a team of 15 volunteers in New York and San Diego to recruit artists and maintain a social media presence with a goal of raising $25,000.
The auction included ceramic art, photographs and even oragami cranes folded by students in Jackson Heights, Queens. It turned into a three-day affair lasting from March 24 to March 27 that raised more than $75,000. One hundred percent of the proceeds went to Japanese aid via GlobalGiving, a Web site that works with grassroots organizations in disaster-stricken regions.
Horie said that while online auctions are often used by people seeking a bargain, that was not the case in this situation. "People's selflessness actually came through in this case, which was really heartening," she said. Though the auction is over, Horie said she may partner with a Japanese organization to continue fundraising efforts -- after she and her fellow fundraisers get some sleep.
New York's fashion community is also seeking to raise funds for Japan. At a sample sale at the Bowery Hotel scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, April 2 and 3, New Yorkers will be able to buy clothes by Theory, Marc Jacobs and Alex Wang in the name of Japanese aid. The $5 admission fee is a donation, as are all of the proceeds from sales of clothing from more than 60 New York-based fashion designers.
But Rob Walker, author of "Buying In: The Secret Dialogue Between What We Buy and Who We Are," is somewhat skeptical. In a recent article for Slate, Walker referred to what he calls the "propaganda of concern."
"It starts to feel a little like this tragedy is nothing more than the latest trend that everyone wants to get in on," he wrote. Walker worries that the ease of donating through texts and online purchases speed up what he calls the "concern cycle," where people donate and quickly move on to the next thing trending in the social media universe. "I think it's ultimately helpful that it focuses people's attention on it," he said of the relief efforts. "I hope that there is some way to sustain the attention."
Though Walker questioned what purpose a sleek graphic design poster or tote bag may serve in a year or two, he said he has tremendous respect for the creative thinkers raising funds for Japan. Like many Internet commenters involved in Handmade for Japan's auction, Walker hopes that the cause doesn't simply slip away. Walker proposed a new model: "If you get your poster when life is normal again in Japan," he said, it might be more significant.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.

Spent $1000s for what was claimed to be 100% human hair. Hair never performed as human. Constantly had matting and tangles. Synthetic Blend. Service refused to make things right. Had to go to another service to have removed within 3 months even though they claimed to last a year. Constantly cancelled appointments. Wanted to charge $1per extension to have removed and $60/hour to remove tangle that would have never occurred if product was in fact 100% human. Servtice refused to work with me to have it tested to see if where they were getting the product from gave them a bad batch. This service does not know the meaning of the customer service, or the customer is always right choosing to believe that they could do no wrong. Will never use this service again.

First posted on LeadDoc on 11/15/2012. Republished with permission of ACPE.
Last year, while Malgorzata Nowaczyk, MD, was taking the history of a patient who was pregnant, she ventured a comment that, under ordinary circumstances, might have produced little response.
"I said something about how the baby was likely to look like her—to have similar facial characteristics," she recalled. The woman's face darkened and she became visibly upset. "She looked at me, and said, 'This is not the way I look normally.'"
Nowaczyk, a private practice physician based in Hamilton, Ontario, remembered her own visceral response. "It was one of those 'hold the phone' moments. I knew that something was going on, and that I had to get to the bottom of it. Because it wasn't what she said, it was how she said it. I sat down, looked at her, and said, 'Tell me what's going on.'"
The patient said little initially, but her pained look spoke volumes. She pulled out her smartphone and retrieved a photo of herself taken four months earlier. The differences were dramatic. The patient who sat before Nowaczyk had severe acne and very coarse facial features; the woman in the picture had neither. And the patient's deep voice, near baritone in quality, was also newly acquired, she reported.
Nowaczyk eventually discovered the child her patient was carrying had an extremely rare genetic condition called Antley-Bixler syndrome, in which the fetus produces excessive amounts of testosterone, which in this case had entered the bloodstream. Infants with the syndrome typically are born with numerous facial and other physical deformities.
The seriousness of the case, sad and distressing enough in itself, was exacerbated by what preceded the diagnosis, Nowaczyk said. The patient had seen other physicians who dismissed her symptoms and concerns. "Either they were too busy to listen, or they weren't open to what the patient was saying," Nowaczyk said.
Nowaczyk said she might have missed the diagnosis, too, if it weren't for her recently acquired skills in narrative medicine. This emerging multidisciplinary field taps the rich traditions of story-telling and reflective writing, as well as attentive listening. Narrative medicine seeks to help clinicians engage more deeply with patients, better understand the illness experience and explore their personal responses to both the joyful moments and painful experiences in their practice lives.
Literary tradition finds new role in medicine
"This comes from a twinning of patient-centered, relationship-centered medical practice and literary theory and narratology. It involves understanding, in disciplined ways, how stories work, and what happens when one person tells one and another person listens," explains Rita Charon, MD, PhD, an internist and professor of clinical medicine at Columbia University in New York City who coined the term "narrative medicine" and led development of the first graduate program in the field.
"The objective is to bring in this gorgeous knowledge of why human beings tell stories and what it takes to understand one, squarely into the clinic, the hospital, the training program or the meeting of the healthcare team," she said, "so that we can get the work done with respect, regard, honor and effectiveness." This confluence of traditions, Charon said, leads to better, more informed patient care and ultimately, more career satisfaction for physicians and other health professionals.
That's exactly what transpired in Nowaczyk's case after she participated in Charon's advanced narrative medicine workshop two years ago. "It has definitely changed way I practice. It's not that I haven't always listened to my patients, but I listen differently now—with more of an all-pervasive feeling," she said. "I hear their stories more fully and I understand my patients better."
Reflective medical writing, the act of chronicling not only the encounter with the patient but also the clinician's emotional response to that interaction, is at the core of narrative medicine. The "product" is essentially a work of creative non-fiction, not a case report. And it's perhaps the key narrative medicine practice that enables physicians to obtain and utilize their patients' stories.
"We of course know so much more about our patients than we put in the chart. And when we write about patients in this manner, I think that we notice, and honor, things we might have missed before about the patients and about ourselves," Nowaczyk said. "It builds mutual understanding and, ultimately, trust."
For clinicians, the practice of sharing their reflective writings with other clinicians—in narrative medicine courses or workshops where participants read their written reflections aloud and listen as others read their writing—not only helps them deal with the difficult emotional and psychological challenges that attend clinical practice. It also promotes collegiality by reducing the divisions, real or perceived, between individuals. That can be extremely beneficial in settings where multidisciplinary patient care teams use narrative medicine as one means of improving their collaboration, Charon said.
Competency's appeal is broadening
Although the field of narrative medicine is nascent, recognition is growing. The Columbia University master's of science in narrative medicine, established in 2009, remains one of the few dedicated programs. But many medical schools and universities, in the United States and abroad, have begun offering courses in either narrative medicine competence or the practice of medical reflective writing. And as Charon's former students and workshop participants leave her programs, they are spreading the word and spurring interest.
As a testament to narrative medicine's growing popularity, Columbia University's introductory workshops, which are three-day intensive offerings, are not only selling out but also attracting participants from around the globe, both clinicians and non-clinicians.
"What surprised us was that they don't just come from the New York region, but from all over the country, and even Canada, Western Europe and South America," Charon said. "We have been really floored by the hunger, worldwide, for this very simple, yet difficult thing: bringing the understanding of narrative theory and how stories work to bear on the care of the sick."
One longtime devotee is Margaret Cary, MD, MBA, MPH, an ACPE member as well as an executive coach and writer who consults on physician leadership development. In part because of her own experience in using reflective writing personally and encouraging its use for her clients, Cary began teaching a personal essay and narrative medicine at Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. Her primary focus is on helping students process their experiences as they go through the curriculum rather than interactions with patients.
"The difference with narrative medicine, and the benefit of this kind of writing, is that it's self-reflective process, and it shows you how you do," Cary said, "and how you respond emotionally to experiences." In the case of the medical students, this type of course offers them a safe way to reflect. "Medical school is incredibly abusive, and one of the things my students routinely mention is that they didn't realize that their fellow students were experiencing similar feelings about that," she said.
For Nichole Boisvert, a third-year medical student at Georgetown who took Cary's course and a student member of ACPE, the exposure to narrative medicine is paying off as she moves through her clinical rotations. "It gives me a different way of interacting with patients, and a sense that I am being more present," she said. "Now, I always go in looking for the story, not just at the medical [issues]. I recognize that the patient's family and social situation, and perhaps addiction or other factors, all contribute to what's going on with them from a medical perspective."
Jennifer Anyaegbunam, a second-year medical student at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, in a sense got a head start on using narrative medicine. She is a graduate of Columbia's narrative medicine master's program, which she pursued as a means to bridge her undergraduate experience as a film studies major with her intention to pursue a career in medicine.
"The narrative medicine program allowed me to not just reflect on my feelings but also to face where those feelings were coming from," Anyaegbunam said. "It has helped me to better understand other people's personal experiences and to develop more empathy—both of which will help me prepare for clinical practice. The culture of medicine is incredibly competitive and aggressive, and those traits are amplified in medical school, I think. Narrative medicine has given me a way to balance that, because there's an inherently collaborative aspect to it."

Contact: M. Reed Hopper
Status: Closed - U.S. Supreme Court denied petition for cert on Oct. 7, 2013.
Summary:On October 2, 2008, PLF filed a complaint in the federal District Court of the District of Columbia challenging the listing of the polar bear as a "threatened" species under the Endangered Species Act. PLF represents a wide spectrum of small businesses, food producers, family farmers, property owners, employers and consumers as well as the poor and minorities nationwide who would be harmed by restrictive regulations that will likely result from the polar bear listing.
This is the first time in the history of the ESA that a thriving species has been listed based entirely on speculative models forecasting future events. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service has declared the polar bear to be threatened solely because admittedly unverified and uncertain climate models predict a declining trend in Arctic sea ice, and not because of any current decline in the polar bear population. The final rule repeatedly admonishes that forecasted population numbers and estimated time periods are not to be taken at face value. Instead, the Rule states that the trend in sea ice is worrisome and that the listing is warranted because melting sea ice will negatively affect polar bear populations, perhaps resulting in steady decline in abundance.
The problem with this conclusion is three-fold. First, the Service admits that the listing of the polar bear as threatened will not address this concern. According to Secretary Kempthorne, the polar bear is already protected by other laws and treaties and "this listing will not stop global climate change or prevent sea ice from melting" in the Arctic. In other words the listing will not address the very threat on which the listing was based.
Second, the climate models relied on by the Service undercut rather than support the listing. Relying on worst case scenarios, these models predict a 78-90% survival rate over the next 40-50 years. The government's own studies do not forecast an irretrievable decline but anticipate that the polar bear population mid-century will be about 20,000 strong, approximately double the numbers 50-60 years ago.
And third, the current demographic data show that while global temperatures have increased over the past century, the polar bear population has also increased. It is now the highest in recorded history: an estimated 25,000. Three-quarters of the nineteen polar bear populations are either increasing, stable, or indeterminate in size.
In short, the polar bear is not threatened, but the listing itself threatens our already weakened economy. Although the government determined that no one can demonstrate an effect on Arctic sea conditions from any particular activity in the United States, that does not stop the environmental activists from challenging economic activity under the ESA's citizen suit provision based on claims that greenhouse gas emissions will harm the polar bear. These suits will and are being targeted against energy producers, food producers, builders, and other industries which will drive up the cost of energy, fuel, food, transportation, and housing. That means no help to the polar bear, but deep hurt for the people.

Machete terror of house raid couple
Reporter: Richard Hooton
Date online: 20 December 2012
A machete-wielding thug cut off a chunk of his victim's hair during a violent robbery in Shaw.
As reported on Monday, four masked men raided a house in Grains Road. Police have now released pictures of jewellery and belongings stolen in the raid.
The terrifying attack began at teatime on Friday. The woman moved the family car on to her driveway and was thrown to the floor from behind at her door by four masked men.
Her partner was violently attacked went he tried to help. He was hit in the face with the handle of a machete as the thieves ransacked the house looking for money and valuables.
One of the raiders cut off a small amount of the woman's hair and told her partner they would cut her arm offif they didn't get more money.
A family friend knocked on the door and was dragged into the house.
Eventually the gang left, leaving one of their weapons behind.
They stole a large amount of cash, a silver Apple Macbook Pro laptop computer, a Sekonda gold man's watch, a men's Roamer gold watch, an 18 carat gold Kutchinsky ring signed on the inside by the maker, a gold women's Omega watch, personal cheques and a gold-coloured Arabic tea set.
The offenders wore dark clothing, balaclavas and gloves and were believed to be in their early 20s, and slim and athletic. Three were around 6ft tall and the other 5ft 7in-5ft 10in. They spoke with local and Asian accents.
Police are appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

A floor surface is complete only when a finishing treatment is applied to it. Applying finishes can extend the longevity of floors and staining is no exception. Apart from imparting added strength to the floors, there are several advantages put forth by concrete staining. They are listed as under:
1. Resistance to Fire:
One of the biggest benefits of concrete staining in industrial and commercial establishments is that the floor becomes resistant to fire. As industries and factories utilize several flammable materials including oil and gas, spreading of fire, in the event of an accident, could be majorly prevented by concrete staining. Hence, concrete staining has become one of the widely accepted ways to stay protected against fire outbreaks.
2. Energy Efficient:
One of the best ways to make floors energy efficient is to increase the levels of heat insulation, and the same could be easily achieved with the help of staining. Concrete has the ability to absorb as well as release heat or coldness, thus making it energy efficient in various environments.
3. Durability:
Concrete has a compressive strength of more than 4500 pounds per square inch, thus making it very robust than anything else. The surface of concrete floor is also subjected to machinery and foot traffic, which means they are susceptible to damage and dangers. Acid staining of concrete floors is done to secure floors against wear and tear.
4. Less Maintenance:
Stained concrete floors not just remain secured against damages, but they are very easy to clean and maintain as well. Application of staining treatment ensures that the floors remain resistant to scratches and a single sweep is more than enough to remove dirt and debris. While carpets can easily fade over time, stained concrete floors remain just as new for several years. If required, a simple polishing can bring it back to its glory.
5. Aesthetics:
Concrete floors are much ideal in complimenting interior décor. Stained concrete floors can be easily decorated or modified than any other surfaces, thus offering the flexibility to alter and make them match with the interior design. Additionally, stained concrete floors can easily bring in premium looks just as other types of flooring materials including granite and sandstone in a relatively cost effective manner.
Considering the benefits mentioned above, concrete staining is one of the best ways to add style and safety to floors at lesser costs and with lesser maintenance.
The author is presently working in a leading firm specialized in concrete staining, epoxy flooring and other services. His expertise in flooring solutions is well noted in various publications. Visit kansascityconcretesolutions.com/concrete-staining and kansascityconcretesolutions.com

Simply Saucer
It was lonely for the Electric Eels in Cleveland, Ohio, and lonely for Debris in Chickasaw, Oklahoma, so it must have been absolutely frigid for Hamilton, Ontario's Simply Saucer, who were probably the only band for 500 miles of frozen Canadian tundra to understand that the Stooges weren't just three guys with a fondness for eye-gouging and pie fights. This till-now lost '70s protopunk epic wasn't even issued in the first place until 1989, and—as this reissue proves—yes, it was really that out there. There's a peculiar purity of vision in the early Saucer tracks collected here, a focus that can only come from having no one at all understand you; it must've sucked to live through it, but the music throbs with so much palpably raw frustration—and ambition—that it's still a kick today. "Illegal Bodies" (recorded live on the roof of a shopping mall!) was their "Sister Ray," "Dance the Mutation" their "I Wanna Be Your Dog," "Bullet Proof Nothing" their "Gimme Danger," all part of an oeuvre wobbling somewhere between Funhouse and Can's Tago Mago. Even the bonus late-'70s material (toned down in a desperate bid for an audience) still has a fair amount of bite. But it's the first and oldest nine songs that are best, a bracing outsider answer to the mutant rallying call sounded by the American bands across the border. Too bad no one heard them till now.

VT Edition Interview: Dr. Gil Welch on the Dartmouth health policy study
12/14/07 1:19PM By Bob Kinzel
| Download MP3
The overall picture of our health care system is one that leaves many patients, employers and health care providers wondering about the future.
Most people think that the more we spend on health care, the better outcomes we'll have. Extensive research at the Dartmouth Medical School clearly shows that this conclusion is wrong. The study shows that there are cases where more care results in worse outcomes for some patients.
VPR's Bob Kinzel spoke with Dr. Gil Welch, one of the people who's involved in this project about the study.

Music Reviews Featuring
Releases by PentaTone, Artek, Naxos,
Profil, ASO
Media, and CSO-Resound
D'Indy, Symphonie Sur Un Chant Montagnard Francais. "Symphonie cevenole" Op. 25. (Symphony on a French Mountain Air). Saint-Saens. Symphony No. 2 Op. 55. Chausson. Soir de fete. Symphonic poem Op.32. Orchestra: De La Suisse Romande. Conductor: Marek Janowski. Piano: Martin Helmchen. PentaTone SACD Hybrid Multichannel PTC 5186 357
It certainly has been a very long time since I have heard this old favorite of mine. Checking on my memory, I found it still functional as the famous RCA prized series was still there with a shaded dog in pristine condition. Of course with the famous Layton and Mohr recording team still residing where left lo these many years waiting for someone to take over. It features Charles Munch conducting the Boston Symphony and next to it alphabetically in the same cabinet I found Ormandy's version with the famed Philadelphia Orchestra. I did not take them out and play them for comparison with the fine PentaTone release being reviewed here. I simply do not like to compare what appealed to me many years ago with the latest and easily obtained current releases, especially if available on SACD. I also realize that with "favorite" recordings the introductory recording seems almost always to be the best one for performance and tough to replace; that seems to be quite logical if you think about it.
This almost piano concerto is kind of masquerading as a quasi symphony and that's simply that, as D'Indy's naming takes precedent over tradition and he called it a symphony, case closed. I just hear sublime beauty, gorgeous musical passages and many accenting touches from the unexpected, in a symphony, piano. It is a personal favorite and rarely heard at concerts. Play it for a classically oriented music lover and watch him or her squirm as you politely ask for the composer or title to be guessed. The recorded audio quality is just about as good as it gets with PentaTone, or any other company if not quite the very best SACD, but very close.
The performance should make ninety percent of you listeners very happy and contented. I must recommend purchase as only those that need more of a French touch or lilt might demur and miss out. A note to really old time audiophile music lovers; look at the orchestra. Does that ring a bell from about sixty years ago? Yes, that group conducted by Ernest Ansermet, founder in 1918 and principal conductor until 1967 and responsible for a number of the most famous and popular early stereo recordings. Those famous recordings were done on the English Decca label and could not be so labeled in the USA as there was another Decca label in the States. They were labeled as "London" records in the states and often were regarded as inferior to the English Decca releases and led to ways to get around problems importing them.
Janowski has been both artistic and music director for the past six years for the one hundred plus musicians of the Orchestre de la Romande. Obviously they form a very good and solidly performing combination with no obviously apparent weakness. The full range recording is simply solid and minus any hints of treble range harshness or bass boom to mar the wide range audio.
The Saint-Saens Symphony No.2 is a very enjoyable, not a great composition, as would be expected of a Mozart or a Mendelssohn perhaps. Certainly not a show piece as is his Symphony No. 3 (Organ). The Chausson's Soir De Fete is a short impressionistic and colorful composition that seems to fit in quite well with the other selections here. The D'Indy selection is the reason I give my recommendation to this release of three compositions making for simply beautiful and varied music making and enjoyment while leaning to the relaxing side of musical enjoyment.
Carson Cooman, Piano Music. Piano: Donna Amato. Naxos American Classics CD 8.559350
Not being the least bit familiar with the name, Carson Cooman, I figured it was time or past time to listen to a couple of recordings of his music as here he is represented by two recording companies. Naxos lists this survey of Cooman's piano music as all being World Premiere Recordings. The Fourth Piano Sonata was composed for pianist Donna Amato. Do you remember, in the film "Amadeus", what the emperor said when Mozart asked him what was wrong his new composition? In this recording exactly the one hundred and eighty degree opposite would be the answer. Here is minimalism at its extreme and modern or contemporary at the same time. I can only recommend this "far out" sampling to a limited group of pianists or music students and certainly not to classical music newcomers. As far as I can tell, the recorded audio quality is very good for the limited group of listeners.
Carson Cooman, Enchanted Tracings. Various Small Chamber Music Groups. Artek CD AR-0047-2
Only for those who are very adventuresome, though here a very few of the compositions may be enjoyed by many music lovers. There is quite a contrast with the above mentioned piano compositions by Cooman. Though most of these compositions are way out, many will find a few delights with choices such as an Oboe Quartet, Piano Concerto, Trombone Concerto and a Brass Quintet. There is a little bit of everything here, so go ahead and take a gamble and find something new and very different! Yes, I mean to experiment. There is some beauty lurking here and all is well recorded though very problematic for newcomers to classical music, with all those caveats, a limited recommendation might be in order for those forewarned.
Bruckner. Symphony No. 8. Orchestra Staatskapelle Dresden. Conductor: Christian Thielemann. Profil 2SACD hybrid PH10031
I apologize for the delay in reviewing this particularly fine Bruckner recording. I simply kept pushing it aside and now getting to hear it, I had to share my listening thoughts. This is a live recording with almost no hint of that until the end and even there, conductor Thielemann had the audience hold its applause for a few seconds. There is no going back and fixing problems with live recordings. Years ago many people were somehow linking Mahler and Bruckner as if with similarities if you like the music of one you would like both. There are some aspects of music making that they share such as large or larger scale compositions but little else. This outstanding eighth symphony is, I believe, the longest symphony ever written up to that time. It is big, bold, powerful and almost choral or hymn like in its presentation and effects on listeners. It requires a conductor that keeps this power moving right up to the end and an orchestra that can handle that. Excellently done here on both counts and surprisingly so as Thielemann was a late replacement for the expected conductor. For those interested in such things, here the Haas edition of the score was used and that is neither the oldest edition nor the newest. The atmospherically powerful presentation is simply outstanding and I can not believe that there is a competing performance that is significantly or noticeably better. A particularly nice booklet containing color pictures accompanies this highly recommended, by me, release.
Christopher Theofanidis. Symphony No.1. Peter Lieberson. Neruda Songs. Orchestra: Atlanta Symphony. Conductor: Robert Spano. ASO MEDIA CD 1002
Finally, here is a contemporary composition that is going to be easy to learn to like. Theofanidis' symphony contains some melodies and beautiful passages as well as some powerful statements. Repeated listening has made it even more appealing and I think it will continue to do so. Famed audio recording engineer, Michael Bishop has given us superb audio quality again with CD sound as good as it gets. No it is not quite the equal of the best SACDs, though it is surprisingly close and in the last movement we get to hear and feel some of the most natural sounding drum thwacks in recent memory. Since the Atlanta Symphony commissioned the composition and performed it at the inaugural it is easy to assume this recorded performance is spot on. It is highly unlikely to hear a better performance in the near future. Therefore it is easy to give this release my top recommendation. To top that off is the well recorded and performed, by Kelley O'Connor, Neruda Songs, based on the love poems of Pablo Neruda. Read the liner notes to know the beauty of these love poems as they are not sung in English.
Chicago Symphony Orchestra Brass Live. (Arrangements for Symphonic Brass). William Walton. Crown Imperial March. Giovanni Gabrieli. Sym. No.6, Sonota and Canzons. J.S. Bach. Passacaglia and Fugue. Percy Grainger. Lincolnshire Posy. Silvestre Revueltas. Sensemaya. Sergei Prokofiev. Romeo and Juliet-Three Scenes. Conductors: Dale Clevenger, Jay Friedman, Michael Mulcahy and Mark Ridenour. CSO RESOUND Multi-channel SACD Hybrid CSOR 901 1103
This release may be aimed more toward audiophiles than music lovers, hopefully it may appeal to both. If you are a music lover I would suggest starting with tracks 6 to 11 for Percy Grainger's delightful Lincolnshire Posy and then go back to the beginning with Walton's Crown Imperial March and simply go on from there to the end. The orchestral forces here are a rather small group of approximately twenty musicians and the full richness and dimensionality of the orchestra's usual complement of more than a hundred performers is simply missing at times. The rather close microphone placement makes for very exciting listening if not exactly what you may or may not be used to from your usual seat at your local performing arts theater. Perhaps two or more years ago I reviewed a similar recording from Reference Recording's RR-112. It featured a slightly longer version of the Crown Imperial and also included selections by Gabrieli and Percy Grainger. Brass lovers will feel a need for both recordings and to hear which one is the better sounding. In the meantime this release is definitely recommended. The audio quality from RR's often yields little to many SACD releases though here this release also offers surround multichannel and that is simply above and beyond, if you have a reasonably good multichannel sound setup.
Attention Please: I have an announcement to make about a group of possibly very special recordings made in the past ten years by the well known PentaTone classics recording company. To directly quote from the accompanying booklet: In order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our label, we have selected 10 albums to include in an anniversary box: one dating from each year of our existence. Not necessarily the best sellers and award winners, but a selection that provides as true a representation as possible of the artists with whom we have worked during these past 10 years. It has proven difficult to do justice to all of them, but we done our best. As a bonus CD, we have added a compilation containing tracks from a number of albums not included in the selection. At the end of this compilation album, there are surround sound effects and test tones that will enable you to optimize the position of your speakers in order to further enhance your enjoyment of your PentaTone SA-CDs. The interesting and thorough booklet says "we can conclude that SA-CD is a stable market—albeit a relatively small one and we will continue to build up a catalogue that will remain "future proof" and at present totaling more than 130 and demand for our CDs and SA-CDs has increased. PentaTone is here to stay." Let us hope that those listeners that claim to want the highest quality recordings will support PentaTone and other companies that continue to support the highest quality releases, SA-CD. All in this special box set are SA-CDs. The special set is: PentaTone The First 10 Years.
Disc 2002 : Tchaikovsky- Serenade for Strings and Souvenir de Florence; I found this to be a particularly rich and full sounding release with no harsh edge to the beautiful strings.
Disc 2003 : Dvorak Symphony No.9 (New World)- Belongs in every music lovers collection and Tchaikovsky Fantasy Overture (Romeo and Juliet) Audiophile oriented bass drum thwacks and simply beautiful melodic music. I intend to cover two "years" each issue. I do not yet have complete information on this unique project; hopefully this full set of ten plus, releases will sell as a bargain. If not it simply means the company realizes it should be at a premium.

Taipei mayoral candidates announce policies
By Katherine Wei ,The China Post Friday, August 29, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Less than 100 days away from the seven-in-one elections, both pan-green and blue candidates have been feeding the public their political plans lest they land the coveted position, with the Kuomintang's (KMT) Sean Lien (連勝文) focusing on a new public housing policy and pan-green Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) touting new YouBike routes.
Following his concern for the gas pipelines in Taipei's older residential buildings and his determination to construct new traditional markets in several districts, Lien yesterday proposed a public housing policy for 20,000 households that would be rented instead of sold. The plots of land he targeted to launch his new project on include the current location of city's First Funeral Parlor, causing many to question Lien's choice of land due to local superstitions. The funeral parlor will be moved to a landfill site nearby.
The public housing policy isn't only about adding up the numbers, said Lien. "One has to propose a complete and sensible goal that he stays responsible to; the said goal has to be achievable ... with the land sources that are highly accessible in Taipei in mind, I have proposed to construct public housing for 20,000 households with supporting measures that take care of the citizens' residential rights," said Lien.
Public housing plans have been conducted by the government mainly, and Lien has divided the plan into two stages to accomplish; the first one being to finish the 10,000 households planned by incumbent MJayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) and the second was to reach his own anticipated number of 20,000, all of which are to be rented, not sold.
The number 20,000 had come from calculations of Taipei's currently available plots of land, including government-owned land and private land acquired by issuing awards for the original owners, said Lien.
Contrary to opponent Ko's plan to borrow NT$100 billion in order to build public housing, Lien said he hoped to propose a feasible way to carry out the plan.
Ko's Transportation Reform Plans
Taipei's public transportation system has to be altered according to each type of transportation; the metro, buses, taxis and YouBikes, Ko said yesterday.
"A complete plan is needed, and the biggest issue for the YouBike system is the lack of designated bike lanes throughout the city," said Ko, who added that he will be proposing actual policies regarding the said issue as his next step.
Ko has previously proposed to make changes in the city's bus routes, including one of the most popular routes, bus 307, but bus drivers had complained that route alternations may affect the 100,000 passengers that takes 307s every day.
"It would be strange to discuss the alternations of one single route, we will be planning for the entire system," said Ko.

I'll admit to spending only 3 hours on the show floor. Most was spent in the cavernous and gloomy AIIM sessions area where I gave an "Analyst Take" session on SharePoint 2010, a talk on Dynamic Case Management, and reviewed suppliers for Document output for Customer Communications. My impression of the floor activity was an improvement over the last two years. Perhaps contraction of sponsorships had hit the right balance with demand, or perhaps the great spring weather and improving economy were at work, but the mood was upbeat and the crowds were steady. Vendors were grumbling less. Cloud talk and SaaS were under-represented. E-discovery and records management were in line. And the usual interesting collection of arcane conversion, migration, capture, and other providers - usually in the lower rent districts - continued the tradition. SharePoint was again pervasive. Those that say "that ship has come in" may not be aware of other ports and forms of transportation. One wonders what the future of the show is if the SharePoint sessions are the biggest draw and Microsoft and key partners have the biggest booths. Philly is a city that has lost its major corporate headquarters and no longer has growth industries - but it does not deserve its reputation. The AIIM show - with roots in microfilm and paper - is similar - and likewise - is still pretty good.

Analytics is getting a lot of attention these days for additional business insight, improving the customer experience, and understanding the online experience. But these exciting areas tell only part of the story. Analytics is after all a horizontal technology that can also help improve content management and transactional business processes by helping to classify documents, improve business processes, and enhance the value of packaged apps. Open Text is adapting to this trend with announced plans to integrate the content analytics capabilities of Nstein Technologies, acquired on April 1, that will drive additional value in a number of areas including - regulated documents, email, social media, Web content, OCR-treated scanned images, and content in business systems, such as Microsoft, SAP and Oracle. While Open Text's first integration of Nstein technology will integrate content analytics with Vignette Content Management system, and the Media Management DAM solution, the bigger value will come from integration with its Enterprise Library, the core repository, and will be marketed as Open Text Content Analytics. I have three related research projects that touch on analytics – a review of the content integration market, top use cases for content analytics, and how analytics can take capture to the next level. Analytics will be a foundation component for the enxt generation of ECM - and OT is moving that direction.

Another great Focal Component set
2008 Chevrolet Silverado
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I've been out of car audio for a few years, so when I came back I was pleased to see that Focal was still producing great speakers. These are similar to the speakers I used to run, and sound great. Their quality is still great and you'll see that the second you open the box. Well packaged, complete kit and the speakers scream quality.
Pros: Great quality, great sound, plenty of adjustability through the crossover and tweeter mounting options
Cons: A little pricey, but you won't regret buying them.

I think we should definitely have a detailing forum where we could just post reviews on products, write ups on what works, what doesnt, pics of the processes used, tips, etc.
It can be a sub-forum of exterior and appearence (and keep the exterior and appearence forum more for cosmetic mods and pictures). I could even be a mod for it if you need, im always on this forum, and detailing is one of my favorite hobbies.
what do you think?

Weathering Through the Winter with Aquatread & Scraper II Mats
Winter is here and you want to make sure your building's floors remain safe and clean.
Ice-melting salts, snow and water can damage your building's carpet and usually costs $.05 to $.25 per square foot to clean and even more to extract water. Stripping tile, vinyl or hardwood floors is $.25 per square foot on average. Stain removal costs can cost up to $1,000. The most costly damage of all is done by ice-melting salt which eats through your carpet and destroys wood finishes.
The Aquatread mat is used for indoor and outdoor entrances. Made of super-absorbent polypropylene, this mat is crush-proof and almost impervious to stains. The raised-rubber "water dam" border traps dirt and water keeping your floors more clean and safe. If it does need to be cleaned, you can easily do so by vacuuming, shaking off the mat, using mild soap and warm water or bleach (no, it won't take the color out). Power washing is another quick cleaning option. Conveniently enough, the Aquatread dries quickly and easily. Although, you shouldn't launder your mats because the heavy duty washer could damage the mat.
The Scraper II mat is designed for outdoor use, but works great inside where frequent spills may occur. It is constructed of 100% durable nitrile rubber, so the cold weather, snow and even ice-melting salt won't damage the mat. Cleats act at scrapers to remove dirt, soil, ice, snow, etc from shoes and provide an anti-skid surface. To clean the Scraper II, simply vacuum, brush or shake it off.
When the Aquatread and Scraper II mats are used together, they will be most effective. The Scraper II mat, if placed outdoors, will get all the loose debris off your feet. While the Aquatread mat on the indoors get off the rest of the debris, making your floors stay cleaner. Depending on the wear and tear of your mats, these should last about 5 years. Once they start showing obvious signs of wear and tear, you should replace them.
