Notes of an Amateur: Music@Menlo, 2011. Pacifica
Quartet's Shostakovich, Volume 2. Marwood Plays
Music@Menlo Live. 2011 'Through Brahms.' (7 CD's). Available from www.musicatmenlo.org.
What distinguishes the Music@Menlo festival from many others of its kind is its focus each summer on a musical subject that can only be 'taught' through demonstration. In 2011, the subject was Brahms, Brahms heard in the midst of his influential predecessors, contemporaries, and those among his successors on whom he made a significant impression. Brahms is so central to our ears that we have come to take him for granted, even feel we have outgrown him. Some modern composers who find him hard to get around and past have come to disparage him. He is too emotionally direct, too easy!
Judged by its ability to get us to hear Brahms freshly, to get around our accumulated impressions of him, "Through Brahms" is one of the most successful programs Music@Menlo has staged yet; and it's the musical context that seems to do the trick. The musicians don't play him differently, they simply play him wonderfully well; but on the same stage as a carefully selected group of works by Bach, Haydn, Schubert, Dvorak, Schoenberg, Ravel, Harbison, Clara and Robert Schumann, even Vivaldi and Mozart. They pull us into a world defined by and furnished with music, not cultural history, not psychology. No words, not even my pathetic ones here, can account for why it works so well. We hear Brahms 'better.' But we also hear him in the music of others, hear what he absorbed and what others absorbed from him. We hear his emotional directness but coming from formal structures he valued enormously and which are easy to overlook, structures that enable the emotions to move us without compromising their complexity.
This is mature and masterful romanticism that we moderns find we still can't escape. It challenges the cheaper, simpler romanticisms we frequently find forced on us by our contemporary culture.
This seven CD set, which is also available a CD at a time, played by the usual Music@Menlo team of master musicians (most notably Lawrence Lesser and David Finckel, cello; Wu Han and Gilbert Kalish, piano; Arnauld Sussmann and Paul Neubauer, viola; Ani Kavafian and Philip Setzer, violin—among many others) is easily the best and most enjoyable music history/appreciation course I've ever taken. Thanks yet again to program directors David Finckel and Wu Han, and master recording engineer Da-Hong Seeto for assembling it. It will join the six other Music@Menlo sets that sit at the center of my musical collection, the place I turn most often when I want to hear live music but am too lazy to go out and find it.
Order at www.musicatmenlo.org. $15 per CD, $90 for the package.
String Quartets by Dimitri Shostakovich, Nos. 1-4; Prokofiev, String Quartet No. 2. Çedille Records CDR 90000130.
If you are a Shostakovich String Quartets collector, all you need to know about this second volume of the Pacificas's Shostakovich cycle is that it is of a piece with the first: commanding and superbly enunciated. Have no compunctions about setting it alongside the Borodins, Fitzwilliams, Emersons, and Sorels. It you've yet to choose a set and are not a collector, you need to hear more.
The Pacifica Quartet, as demonstrated for many of us with their set of the complete string quartets of Eliot Carter, understand how a modernist quartet is supposed to sound. The emphasis is more on line than color. Line and instrumental texture. Emotional color, tonal saturation is present but between the lines. So the music must be played clearly and briskly with great attention to detail and dynamic shifts. All string quartet musicians who play Bartok, Prokofiev, Ligeti, Carter, Hindemith... and Shostakovich know this. But they don't all execute their understanding with equal power to persuade. And so we get several variations on Shostakovich—some seeming to forget from time to time that there must be something between the lines, some backing off a sense of line to 'humanize' the music, as some might call it, get more heart into it.
I am very fond of all of the versions listed above, but this year I'm especially captivated by the Pacificas, who truly seem to get both the mind and heart of the composer. The lines are strong and clear and there is plenty between them as well. Severity and passion strike me as being in perfect balance. Never too wiry, never too warm.
I attribute most of this to the musicians, but I'm sure much admired recording engineer Judith Sherman plays a significant role as well.
This volume presents Quartets Nos. 1-4 and, in accordance wit the project's intention of providing context ("The Soviet Experience"), we also have Prokofiev's Quartet No. 2. It is paired with Shostakovich's Quartet No. 4 and the differences and similarities we hear are instructive, even if not all of us can explain them.
Kurt Weill, Concerto for Violin and Wind Orchestra. Peteris Vasks, Concerto for Violin and Orchestra: Distant Light. Anthony Marwood, violin and director of the Academy of St. Martins in the Fields. Hyperon CDA 67496.
One of the most appealing aspects of Anthony Marwood's solo career is his willingness to seek out and record excellent but lesser known works—not the usual path of a rising star with eyes on the prize. Most recently, Britten's concerto and a few years back (2004) these concertos by Kurt Weill (1924) and Peteris Vasks (1996-97). I expect very few of us have heard the Weill, but the Vasks is a better know work and a great treasure.
We can hear Weill's well known stage works (Three Penny Opera, etc.) presaged in his concerto, which is otherwise a busy, neo-classic piece of virtuosity that has some of the characteristics of Stravinsky but, like Hindemith, not much of his melodic splendor. It takes a highly accomplished musician just to get this work off the page and Marwood is surely that.
The Vasks is another matter altogether. It as been recorded brilliantly by Gidon Kremer and John Storgärds, both of whom set high standards. It is a hauntingly evocative work, which tempts violinists to indulge themselves. Fortunately this is not Marwood's way with any music, he who premiered Thomas Adès' starkly modernist concerto and recorded, with Adès, Stravinsky's cool and eloquent music for violin and piano. Marwood's tone is pure, his approach restrained and objective, expressing both his respect and affection for the Vasks concerto, allowing the work to bloom in all its exquisite, elegiac beauty. Marwood also conducts the orchestra in this performance, which enables his power through restraint to carry over the orchestra.
This concerto can take a variety of interpretations, it is so good. But do not miss Marwood's.

Evaporator Coil making strange sound
I have a 20 year old furnace and air conditioner, both Carrier. The noise sounds like water running through a pipe at high pressure/volume. Whenever the a/c unit turns on I get this noise after about two minutes of cooling (starting out soft, then getting louder) then it will stop immediately when the thermostat clicks off. This happens even with the furnace fan running continuously, ruling out the fan as the source. Is this possibly an indication of low freon in the system? I've never had it checked or had any added. TIA.
Sounds like refrigerant noise of some sort. Does the system seem to work okay? Is the outside unit running correctly?
IMO you'd be wise to have someone look into it. If it's an issue of coil cleaning or something of that nature, you could potentially save the compressor.
thx for the reply! The outside unit seems fine, I do keep the coils clean. The only thing that may be different is that it seems to turn on, and stay on, more frequently. It's not really that hot out either, 84. It seems to be blowing plenty cold, but haven't measured it yet. I'll drop a thermometer in there right now and post again shortly. thx again.
it's blowing at 55 degrees at one of the registers.
I had this noise in mine every time the system was low.
Edit: it was a carrier also. 3 ton r-22. Built in 89. I've since replaced the outdoor unit and the noise hadn't come back.
What's the indoor temp?
If everything seems to be running okay, then you're probably just experiencing a change in loads, which can cause odd noises at times. That said, anytime I hear liquid gurggling at the coil I think flooded coil, which often means charging issues or impending coil isues.

His playing career is over, but Chavous has parlayed his love of watching game tape – "I admit it, I'm a sports geek," he confessed – into a career as owner of DraftNasty.com, a draft website that ranks pro-quality talent in football, basketball and baseball. Given his history as a pro football player himself, Chavous is an insider when it comes to talent evaluation.
Early draft talk includes four quarterbacks that may be in play before and when the Vikings pick – Blaine Gabbert, Cam Newton, Ryan Mallett and Jake Locker. It is a draft class loaded with intriguing prospects in the first couple of rounds, but Chavous pointed out something that could have plenty of teams wary about putting their future in the hands of a rookie quarterback … at least those expected to start immediately.
"The draft is going to go on as scheduled, but there's a lot of things that are going to be up in the air when it happens," Chavous said. "If there is a lockout/strike, whatever it will be called, there won't be a chance for teams to work with these young quarterbacks. Once they're drafted, they're NFL players and won't be able to report to their teams or sign contracts."
As a result, Chavous said, the learning curve with a specific pro offense – no two are identical – is going to be made perilously long if the current labor impasse continues.
"There are going to be problems with these young guys," Chavous said of the quarterback crop. "Even if a player isn't signed, you still have the minicamps that they can be part of and the OTA programs that get them accustomed to what the offense does, the terminology, etc. If the lockout goes into training camp, it will only be worse. Players can learn the terminology and learn the plays, but there is no replacement for running plays and taking reps. If there is a delay in the season and everything gets winding up quickly in August, those guys will be coming in blind."
Considering that Newton, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and national champion, comes from a simplistic offense that is a far cry from what he will be expected to do in the NFL, he could be the most impacted.
"There's no questioning his athletic ability, but he's going to need a lot of refinement," Chavous said. "That will take time. The sooner he can get immersed in the system, the quicker it will come to him. It's going to be a lot tougher if he can't get signed and get in with his team."
As it currently stands, many of the words being discussed behind the scenes are painting a dire picture of collective bargaining in the early months of 2011. The season officially ends Sunday when the Packers and Steelers meet in Super Bowl XLV. It may be the last game for longer than it is scheduled to be. If that's the case, the timetable to play the 2011 season may be truncated and expedited. If that happens, teams that have drafted a rookie QB high in the first round – a clear sign of need – may have to be forewarned that the time frame for their young franchise player may have to be delayed.
"It's hard enough for a rookie quarterback to step in right away and be a difference maker," Chavous said. "Those guys have four months of absorbing the system and working with the coaches. If things don't get settled before summer, these guys are going to have a few weeks to try to incorporate themselves. That's going to be a problem. Teams better have a Plan B ready to go."

Getting into the spirit of fall, LeAnn Rimes and her husband Eddie Cibrian showed up at the Pierce College Pumpkin Patch on Thursday (October 17).
The "Can't Fight The Moonlight" singer and her handsome actor hubby took full advantage of the refreshment stand, snagging some popcorn and fresh lemonade during their outing.
It's always fun to get the girls together for a crazy evening out, and last night (October 15) LeAnn Rimes and her crew hit up Oil Can Harry's gay bar.
The "How Do I Live" songstress got all done up in a denim top, jean shorts, and white fringe boots and performed "Can't Fight the Moonlight" for the karaoke contest.
Making an avid post on Twitter today (October 11), country singer LeAnn Rimes responded to ex-husband, chef Dean Sheremet after he revealed the awkward way she informed him of her affair with Eddie Cibrian Dean Sheremet on "Access Hol
Nearly three years ago, he and his ex-wife LeAnn Rimes split up after he discover her affair with Eddie Cibrian, and now Dean Sheremet shares more details about the events that lead up to the end of his marriage.
Gearing up for a live performance, LeAnn Rimes paid a visit to a coffeehouse in Manchester, England on Monday afternoon (September 16).
The "Spitfire" songstress had her hands full with a coffee and smoothie as she exited the eatery, sporting a pair of Union Jack wellington boots with distressed jeans, a grey hoodie, and a black coat.
Stepping out for a romantic evening, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian showed up at the Calabasas Commons last night (September 8).
Clearly in the mood for sushi, the "How Do I Live" singer and her handsome hubby held hands and smiled as the exited a local eatery following their meal.
It's the 50th anniversary of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, and LeAnn Rimes gave a thrilling performance during the national celebration yesterday (August 28).
The "How Do I Live" songstress took to the stage at Washington's National Mall and belted out "Amazing Grace" while thousands of spectators looked on.
Bringing an end to their Hawaiian getaway, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian flew from the Island State to LAX International Airport on Tuesday evening (August 27).
The Tinseltown twosome spent a few days celebrating Rimes' birthday (she turns 31 today), and both looked fabulous with their newly-tanned complexions as they strolled through the terminal.

I used to be a proponent of hydrogen. After having looked more into it recently, I've changed my position. I think electricity is preferable as the alternative source of power for vehicles *edit* I mean the MAIN source of power.
Hydrogen vehicles have a short range - less than 100 miles unless the vehicle has an unreasonably large tank. Currently, battery technology allows for a range beyond 300 miles.
Hydrogen is way more expensive than gasoline. These days the cheapest way to get hydrogen is to get it from methane (CH4), not from electrolysis. So hydrogen production today, on top of costing a lot, is not very green.
So why not use electrolysis, some may ask? Using electrolysis to produce hydrogen makes as much sense as melting snow to get water so you can make ice cubes. As much or more energy is needed to break apart H2O as is produced in hydrogen combustion. Might as well use that electricity to directly power the car.
The infrastructure for hydrogen filling stations would have to be built. The filling station for the electric car already exists: Your garage! AND we can adapt our wiring so as to get power from the sun and wind. Fill up for free!
It's been said that battery production or disposal would not be good for the environment. I agree the potential for that exists. But here is the difference I see when compared to fossil fuel production and combustion. In northern Alberta oil production is creating vast pools of toxic waste stored in pools that, if compromised, would create an environmental disaster that would dwarf that of the Exxon Valdez. It should be added that areas that used to be pristine boreal forest are now barren landscapes. As for fossil fuel combustion, gases (greenhouse gases) end up in the atmosphere; they can't be contained. Reminds me of Toronto when I was down there one summer during a Smog alert. The pollutants also end up in the ground when it rains. Now when a battery is toast, parts can be recycled, and the acid contained.
There is a drawback that a couple of Winnipeggers like 4Jaw and myself could surely (surly?) appreciate: climate. Electric cars and hydrogen cars would not perform well in cold weather. Heating would be the bigger problem with the Electric car.
By the way everybody, it's June and yes it's still winter in Winnipeg...or pretty dern close to it anyway.

Motorsport's governing body called a hearing Sunday after Red Bull and Ferrari launched an official protest against Mercedes alleging that the team breached rules by conducting in-season tyre testing with manufacturer Pirelli following the Spanish Grand Prix two weeks ago.
The FIA said in a statement that the three teams and Pirelli would answer questions following Sunday's Monaco GP, which was won from pole position by Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg ahead of Red Bull pair Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber.
"We feel it's not in line with the rules so that's why we've protested before the race," Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said. "We just want clarity."
Mercedes has been lightning fast in qualifying -- securing a fourth straight pole position at the Monaco GP -- but had struggled with durability during races and Rosberg's win was its first of the season.
Rosberg would not be drawn on the issue, saying only "you'll have to ask Pirelli about this issue. I don't want to comment."
Although Lotus did not lodge a protest, team principal Eric Boullier was also critical of the tyre testing and said it fell outside of regulations.
"At the end of the day it's a breach of the sporting code," Boullier said, adding that he found out about the tests on Saturday night. "If they did it, I think it is maybe because they think they could get an advantage."
In agreement with Mercedes, Pirelli conducted tyre testing following the Spanish GP, which is not permitted under the sport's rules. However, Pirelli insists its contract allows it to conduct private tests with individual teams under special circumstances.
Formula 1's governing body has yet to comment but Pirelli's head of motorsport, Paul Hembery, said there was no wrongdoing.
"It's completely regular in that we are allowed to do a 1,000-kilometre tyre test with any team," he said prior to the start of Sunday's race. "In the World Rally Championship contract it's exactly the same. We can do it with a representative car. We've done it before with another team, and we've asked another team to do some work as well."
Hembery said the testing was to look at possibilities to develop next year's tyres -- providing Pirelli is still the official manufacturer -- and in no way gave Mercedes any advantage in Monaco.
"Absolutely not, because it's no relevance to what's happening here," he said. "Mercedes haven't a clue what on earth we were testing in reality."
Niki Lauda, Mercedes GP's non-executive chairman, added on SkySports television that the FIA gave permission to conduct the testing.
"We asked the FIA 'Are we allowed to do this?' The FIA confirmed it and said 'yes', so therefore we did the test," Lauda said. "These tests can always come in cases of emergency, so Mercedes did absolutely nothing wrong."
Horner is unhappy that the testing took place at all.
"First of all we need to deal with it through the proper channels, and that's what we'll look at doing," Horner said. "It's a situation we need clarification on, and our position is we are going to request that clarification."
Boullier added even if there was an agreement between the FIA and Pirelli, it was still unfair on other teams.
"Whatever permission is given, it should be allowed to everybody, or at least to make it aware to everybody and not testing on your own somewhere," Boullier said, adding that Pirelli had not offered Lotus a chance to test.
Pirelli has been under pressure in recent weeks because of the fast-degrading nature of its tyres -- with nearly 80 pit stops at the Spanish GP.
Red Bull, led by Horner and championship leader Vettel, has been one of the fiercest critics of the Pirelli tyres, and the manufacturer still does not have the backing of all teams -- or any word from the FIA -- over a new contract for next season. Pirelli responded to the criticism over the weakness of its tyres by recently pledging to make modifications at next month's Canadian GP.
The fact that Mercedes has been struggling for race pace, and that Pirelli has been trying to improve the resistance of its tyres, seemingly gives extra meaning to the private testing.
"Irrelevant of what you call it, that's testing," Horner said. "They've both cars on the front row of the grid, so it's not hurt."
However, Mercedes has been fastest in qualifying for four straight races so it is debatable whether the testing will have made any difference to gaining pole in Monaco.
Red Bull had won the past three Monaco GPs.
Although last year's winner Webber was sportsmanlike in praising Rosberg, he still feels Mercedes has questions to answer.
"I don't think it probably had a huge bearing on today's results, That car would always perform pretty well around here," the Australian said. "But you can't unlearn what went on at the test. So we need to see how it came about and what the rules are to see why Mercedes thought it would be OK."

Citation: Hansen, S., Clay, S.A., Clay, D.E., Carlson, C.G., Reicks, G., Jarachi, Y., Horvath, D.P. 2013. Landscape features impact on soil available water, corn biomass, and gene expression during the late vegetative stage. The Plant Genome. 6(2):1-9. Interpretive Summary: This study examined the reasons why corn plants growing on a historically high yielding area (a backslope of a well studied field plot) did better than corn plants growing on a very nearby historically low yielding area (on the summit and shoulder of a hill in the same field). Soil samples and crop yield data were collected, and plant samples were taken to look for changes in gene expression that might provide clues as to why the differences in yield were regularly observed. Nutrient and moisture analysis of the soil indicated that contrary to assumptions, there was little difference between the two landscape features. Indeed, the low yielding plots had slightly better levels of some nutrients such as phosphates. Moisture levels of the soil however, suggested that the low-yielding plots may have been deficient in water. Gene expression data indicated that plants growing in low-yielding areas had lower expression of photosynthetic genes which is what is expected for drought-stressed plants, but increased expression in genes that are indicative of responses to drought stress was surprising not observed. Interestingly, lower expression of genes required for phosphate up-take was observed in the low-yielding plots suggesting that these plants were less capable of benefitting from the increased phosphate levels. Surprisingly, plants in the high yielding areas had higher levels of expression from genes associated with disease and insect attack. Combined, the data suggested possible way to increase the yield in the lower-yielding plots.
Technical Abstract: In rolling landscapes, plant available water can vary drastically by topographic location with growth impaired by too much water in footslope locations and too little water in summit locations. This study examined corn (Zea mays) gene expression and plant productivity differences between two landscape positions located in historically high (lower backslope) and moderate (summit/shoulder) yielding zones based on 8 years of yield monitor data. Growth characteristics and gene expression were determined at the V-12 growth stage in a year when water availability was low at the summit but adequate in the backslope due to scant growing season rainfall. Water-stressed plants had 16% less leaf area, biomass, and P uptake compared with nonstressed plants. Gene expression, based on microarray analyses, indicated water-stressed plants had 708 genes down-regulated and 399 genes up-regulated compared with plants from zones with adequate water. Gene set and sub-network enrichment analyses indicated numerous altered growth and developmental pathways and circadian rhythm responses between stressed and nonstressed plants. Nutrient uptake, wound recovery, pest resistance, and photosynthetic capacity were down-regulated pathways in water-stressed plants. These results suggest that low water availability in the summit/shoulder position reduced biomass by lowering photosynthesis, wound recovery, nutrient uptake capacities, and reducing resistance response to insect and disease stresses. Adding nutrients to water-stressed zones may not increase productivity due to reduced nutrient uptake capacity. However, reducing plant populations, to lessen demands on available soil water, and applying pesticides, to limit biotic stress, may ameliorate negative water stress responses.

Korean firms brace for restructuring
By Kim Yon-se and Park Min-young in Seoul/The Korea Herald/16 November 2012 =
Seoul (The Korea Herald/ANN) - About 15 percent of South Korea's 600 major enterprises said they plan to conduct corporate restructuring amid growing uncertainties at home and abroad next year, a poll showed Thursday.
According to a survey on the 600 largest firms - in terms of sales scale - by the Federation of Korean Industries, 62 percent of the respondents said the business environment was projected to worsen next year.
The FKI, a business lobby, said it has found that 15 percent of the respondents are mapping out plans for restructuring such as reduction of its payroll, sales of some assets and scrapping some business sectors.
The poll showed that 46 percent of the 600 firms picked weaker domestic demand as the key negative factor, 28 percent with worsening conditions for exports and 15 percent with rising cost burdens for raw materials.
As for corporate investments next year, 40 percent said their investments next year would remain at a level similar to this year's, while 27 percent said they will cut down on investments by a small margin and 9 percent by a large margin.
This shows that companies have conservative investment plans due to bad economic conditions at home and abroad.
In particular, a growing number of firms in the business and financial sectors recently launched a manpower restructuring scheme.
Samsung Card, a financial unit of Korea's biggest conglomerate Samsung Group, will receive about 100 voluntary redundancy applications starting next week.
More than 3 percent of total employment will be slashed.
Executives as well as regular employees will be subject to the restructuring plan, reports said, and retirees are expected to receive a retirement allowance worth two years' salary.
"It is true that we are examining the voluntary retirement program, but the exact number of employees to be withdrawn or retirement conditions are not yet decided," said a Samsung Card spokesperson.
Industry insiders say that the worsened profitability of the company resulted in the restructuring plan. Its operating profit for 2013 is expected to be down by about 169.6 billion won, according to Taurus Investment Securities, due to various reasons including the new credit card commission fee system, decline of credit card users and the sluggish economy.
Speculation is growing that other financial units of Samsung Group may begin restructuring plans as well. Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance is receiving voluntary retirement applications until this month from employees who served at the company for more than 12 years.
While Citigroup Korea is moving to join the manpower restructuring mode, SK Communications carried out an early-retirement program last month amid declining profitability.
According to a poll by the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics & Trade on 557 firms, 162 of them responded that they have been under contingency mode in their management.
Another 178 firms of the respondents said they are likely to follow suit within six months, the institute's data showed.

Two weeks have passed since our successful AD&D and BP Forums in Boston. I'm still struck by conversations we held there and continue to hold now with many of you on how your teams can help deliver to your firm's ever-important customer experience outcomes. Following one tip can help you either get ahead of this issue or catch up to the expectations of your stakeholders…act more like an interactive agency!
Note I didn't say "transform" into an interactive agency. No, at the end of the day you have responsibilities to your organization the agencies your business peers use often don't – you have to manage, operate, and maintain what's been delivered. What I did say was "act" like one, and in doing so you'll need to:

UPDATE 1-Delta Air Lines looks to strengthen global partnerships
(Adds details on Korea, Mexico, Brazil partnerships, background, byline)
By Jeffrey Dastin
MIAMI, June 8 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines Inc is hoping to strengthen partnerships with carriers in South Korea, Mexico and Brazil, and it has been approached about investing in Japan's bankrupt Skymark Airlines, Delta's president Ed Bastian told reporters Monday.
The comments, made on the sidelines of the International Air Transport Association's (IATA) annual meeting, reflect Delta's focus on streamlining flight service through cross-country partnerships and ventures.
Bastian declined to comment on the status of the Skymark investment talks and what their outcome might be. Aircraft leasing firm Intrepid Aviation Ltd, the biggest creditor of Skymark Airlines, is seeking another sponsor for the failed budget carrier instead of ANA Holdings Inc, a Japanese rival airline bidding to take part in the restructuring.
Skymark holds landing slots at Tokyo's Haneda Airport that U.S. airlines consider valuable, as a treaty limits U.S. carriers to four slots there. A Skymark investment could pave the way for greater Delta service to Asia, where U.S. airlines are competing vigorously to grow.
Delta is also interested in growing its relationship with long-time partner Korean Air Lines Co Ltd after their ties were weakened by Delta's acquisition of Northwest Airlines, which already had extensive Asian routes and competed with KAL, Bastian said.
"We've been working hard with our Korean colleagues to reestablish a solid base for the relationship," he said. "I'm optimistic we'll find an answer" on how to proceed.
Delta is eyeing growth through partnerships across the Pacific, too. Continuación...

I'm normal
I know this is a issue for people in early recovery. And it can be a issue for us all the way through.
4 comments:
You'll get in to grad school, I feel certain. Enjoy the calm before the storm. You'll be longing for it somewhere in the middle of your first semester. It's all good.ReplyDelete
I'm very interested in/curious about this. Do you think this dissatisfaction with "normal" has always been part of your personality, or is it present because of being sober now? Was it there before and maybe part of what led you to a period of addiction? I'm always searching for "why" with regard to my Dad and his addiction. During the turbulent times with him I always wondered why "normal" wasn't appealing enough for him to say clean and sober each time that he quit.ReplyDeleteReplies
I am pretty sure it has always been part of me. But then, I've had chaos for so long, that it just feels natural. I think it started when I was 16 and my mom died. I remember being pretty satisfied with normal before that. I can't really put my finger on it though. It is a part of the brain changes that occur with drugs and alcohol. It can be a lot of things.Delete
Trying to figure out the "why" of addiction can be frustrating. There are so many different reasons. Coping skills (lack of), stressors, triggers, the pathway changes in the brain, all of it. It is powerful stuff.
Yes, the "why" has almost consumed me at times. Not anymore though.Delete

Mocha Rose4805 Penn Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15224, USA
"When planning our wedding, I was more excited about our flowers than anything else. I'm so glad we hired Mocha Rose because I can't imagine anyone else putting together flowers as nice as what we had. April met with us several times before the wedding and really listened to our ideas and what we had planned for the wedding to make sure the flowers tied in. I think our guests were really impressed with the flowers too because, in the pictures that were shared with us, there were a lot that people took of just the flowers!"
Calvary United Methodist Church954 Beech Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15233, US
"I chose Calvary Church after being in it for the Allegheny West Holiday Home tour. It is the most beautiful church I have ever been. Aleeta, the wedding coordinator, and Rev.Larry, our minister, were so nice and acommodating. The church has an amazing organ that you won't find many other places and the BEST organ player. They are not a wedding factory like some other churches, which appealed to me."
Pittsburgh National Aviary700 Arch Street
Pittsburgh, PA 15212
"The aviary is the perfect venue if you want a fun reception in a non-traditional setting. We rented the rose garden tent for cocktail hour outside and then moved inside under the atrium for dinner and dancing. Both places were so beautiful, even before they had any decorations. The rooms at night, with flowers and tables, look so different from how they do during the day. It's amazing. You can also have bird encounters for an additional fee and I highly recommend that. That was a big hit. We had a penguin, a parrot, and an owl. I wish I had a reason to host another big party there again! It is an amazing value for the price and the people were great to work with! More pluses - you bring your own alcohol, the aviary supplies tables and chairs, you choose your caterer. Something good and bad is that you provide any rentals (linens, dishes, flatware, glasses, etc.) It's good because you get what you want, but it is hard if you don't know what you're doing. (Jean Ross from Opening Night Catering helped us with this and she was GREAT!)"

Complementary use of modeling grammars
Green, Peter F., Rosemann, Michael, Indulska, Marta, & Recker, Jan C. (2011) Complementary use of modeling grammars. Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems, 23(1), pp. 59-86.

Conceptual modeling continues to be an important means for graphically capturing the requirements of an information system. Observations of modeling practice suggest that modelers often use multiple modeling grammars in combination to articulate various aspects of real-world domains. We extend an ontological theory of representation to suggest why and how users employ multiple conceptual modeling grammars in combination. We provide an empirical test of the extended theory using survey data and structured interviews about the use of traditional and structured analysis grammars within an automated tool environment. We find that users of the analyzed tool combine grammars to overcome the ontological incompleteness that exists in each grammar. Users further selected their starting grammar from a predicted subset of grammars only. The qualitative data provides insights as to why some of the predicted deficiencies manifest in practice differently than predicted.

/// OMD to Host First Upfront-like Session for Branded Content Projects
Media powerhouse OMD will bring big money and big ideas together in a first-of-its kind Hollywood event this week that will put deep-pocketed advertisers directly in touch with cutting-edge content producers. Dubbed the Final Front—a cheeky word play off the upfront and newfront ad selling seasons—the event will introduce 40 blue chip marketers in OMD's stable to a dozen content companies that have spent more than a month coming up with original branded entertainment ideas custom created for the advertisers. Per OMD's mandate, those concepts must be fresh—not recycled—and involve a new technology, creative or strategic approach, such as an unprecedented partnership structure, multi-screen show or online property. The early fall timing was carefully chosen because marketers are planning and have money to spend for 2014. In an auction format, advertisers including JC Penney, Lowes, State Farm, McDonald's, PepsiCo and FedEx will be able to bid on the ideas that strike their fancy. No real money will change hands, and no bidding wars are expected since the brands are in non-competitive categories. Two or more of the participants could always decide to work together if a concept fits their strategies. As opposed to a real-world auction, then, sharing, not winning, would be the keyword. Heavy-hitting content producers presenting at the Final Front, which will be held Tuesday on the DreamWorks campus, include AOL, Sean Combs' Revolt TV, the Grammys, YouTube, Funny or Die, Viacom, Awesomeness TV (recently acquired by DreamWorks Animation) and Relativity Media. "We've worked with these partners to create offerings that make sense for the clients rather than off shelf ideas, insert brand here," said Claudia Cahill, OMD's chief content officer. "If they want this incremental advertiser money, they'll have to perform to get it." Viacom executives promise some Hollywood-style razzle dazzle and showmanship, but wouldn't leak any details of their presentations, which could fan out over MTV, Paramount, Comedy Central and other parts of its entertainment conglomerate

Mr Fukuda, 71, who is expected to replace Mr Abe as prime minister tomorrow, pledged to revive the Liberal Democratic party (LDP) after its devastating defeat in July's upper house election, and to continue Japan's logistical contribution to the US-led war on terror.
"You have chosen me even though I do not have much experience," he told fellow party MPs. "I will work to revitalise the LDP, win back public trust, and push forward with my policies."
Mr Fukuda easily defeated his opponent, the former foreign minister Taro Aso, winning 330 votes to Mr Aso's 197. He is assured of the premiership because of the LDP's large majority in the lower house.
The LDP's popularity plummeted during the administration of Mr Abe, who remains in hospital after being admitted with a stress-related stomach illness the day after he announced his resignation. Four cabinet members resigned and one committed suicide in a year marked by gaffes, scandals and policy indecision.
The party is looking to Mr Fukuda, who quietly distanced himself from the Abe government, to address economic disparities and resolve a pensions debacle that resulted in the loss of more than 50m premium records.
The doveish policy expert promised to improve relations with China, and is expected to adopt a more flexible approach towards North Korea. But his biggest challenge will be persuading opposition parties to back an extension to Japan's refuelling role in the Indian Ocean, in support of US forces operating in Afghanistan. "We need to show our intention to continue the mission as a message to international society," Mr Fukuda said.

Python is a scripting language, filling a similar role to Perl or other scripting languages.
We anticipate that users will use Python to do preparation and post-processing for their jobs. Like all interpreted languages, Python does not perform as well for High-performance computing as a compiled language like C or Fortran. This is not to say that Python is bad, but rather we do not recommend that users use it for a major component of their HPC jobs. Instead, we recommend using it for preparation, post-processing, and even proof-of-concept work for defining algorithms.
What versions are on the supercomputer?
The supercomputers currently (as of March 2011), provide Python 2.4.3, and Python 2.6.5. To start version 2.4.3, simply use the python name for an interactive session, or use #!/usr/bin/python on the first line of a standalone script. Similarly, to launch Python 2.6.5, either use python26 for an interactive session, or #!/usr/bin/python26 on the first line of a standalone script.
What about the version in /fslapps?
Some time ago, we did have a version of Python in /fslapps. It had some problems, so we do not recommend using it. Similarly, we do not recommend using the /fslapps/lib based python libraries either. Instead, simply call the appropriate version, as described above, and let it load them from the default locations.
I need a library that's not installed? What do I do?
Like most programming languages, Python can be extended by the use of libraries and/or modules. If you need to install a library that you anticipate being the only user of, we recommend that it be installed in your own directory somewhere. If it's a library that a large set of users will use, or it requires some specialized compiling, feel free to open a support ticket.

Amidst of all rumors, discussions and arguments, it is still unclear on Pawan kalyan's third marriage and many are expecting the star to clear the air about his third marriage on Sai Dharam Tej 'Rey' audio launch. Equally good number of people are stressing that Pawan kalyan will not be attending the audio launch event now, and for obvious reasons.
Leaving the speculations on his presence at Rey Audio apart, here is a video where Pawan Kalyan's said to be wife Anna Lezhneva is found playing with two kids (not sure whose kids are). Watch it and wait for few more to come!

Energy Future Holdings Corp. (EFH) today reported consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012. The quarter results were reported in EFH's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this morning.
"The first quarter ended with strong safety results and solid operations, despite challenging market conditions and equipment reliability issues," said John Young, Chief Executive Officer, EFH.
First Quarter GAAP Results
For the first quarter 2012, EFH reported a consolidated net loss (in accordance with GAAP) of $304 million compared to a reported consolidated net loss of $362 million for the first quarter 2011. The first quarter 2012 net loss included (all after tax) $98 million in commodity-related unrealized mark-to-market net losses largely related to positions in EFH's natural gas hedging program, partially offset by $74 million in unrealized mark-to-market net gains on interest rate swaps that hedge EFH's variable-rate interest expense.
The first quarter 2011 reported net loss (in accordance with GAAP) included (all after tax) $203 million in commodity-related unrealized mark-to-market net losses, partially offset by $92 million in unrealized mark-to-market net gains on interest rate swaps and a $14 million gain related to a counterparty bankruptcy settlement.
First Quarter Adjusted (Non-GAAP) Operating Results
Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating results for the first quarter 2012 totaled a net loss of $280 million compared to a net loss of $265 million for the first quarter 2011. For a reconciliation of reported GAAP results to adjusted (non-GAAP) operating results for the first quarter 2012 and 2011, see Tables A1 and A2.
First quarter 2012 adjusted (non-GAAP) operating results from the Competitive Business declined $22 million (after tax) as compared to first quarter 2011. The decrease reflected (all after tax) a $74 million increase in interest expense driven by higher average interest rates and a $10 million decrease in other income reflecting a property damage claim settlement and a franchise tax refund in the first quarter of 2011. These items were partially offset by a $32 million increase in contribution margin, a $21 million decrease in depreciation expense, a $6 million decrease in operating costs and a $6 million decrease in retail bad debt expense. The increase in contribution margin was primarily driven by higher net margin from asset management and retail activities and lower amortization of intangibles arising from purchase accounting. These factors were partially offset by higher fuel costs for coal and nuclear-fueled generation.
First quarter 2012 adjusted (non-GAAP) operating results related to the Regulated Business increased $7 million (after tax) as compared to first quarter 2011. The results reflected (all after tax) $35 million in higher net revenues reflecting transmission and distribution tariff increases, automated meter surcharges and growth in points of delivery and $30 million in higher revenues from transmission cost recovery charges. These factors were partially offset by $19 million in higher transmission fees, $15 million in lower electricity consumption primarily due to milder weather, $8 million in higher depreciation reflecting infrastructure investment, $6 million in higher operations and maintenance expense, $3 million in higher taxes, and $2 million in higher net interest expense.
Natural Gas Hedging Program
The EFH natural gas hedging program is designed to reduce exposure to changes in future wholesale electricity prices due to changes in the price of natural gas. Under the program, subsidiaries of EFH have entered into market transactions involving natural gas related financial instruments. As of March 31, 2012, these subsidiaries have sold forward approximately 630 million MMBtu of natural gas (equivalent to the natural gas exposure of approximately 74,000 GWh at an assumed 8.5 market heat rate) at weighted average annual hedge prices ranging from $7.19 per MMBtu to $7.80 per MMBtu. These forward natural gas sales include related put and call transactions (referred to as collars), primarily for year 2014 of the program, that effectively hedge natural gas prices within a range. Collars represented approximately 24% of the positions in the natural gas hedging program at March 31, 2012, with the approximate weighted average strike prices under the collars being a floor of $7.80 per MMBtu and a ceiling of $11.75 per MMBtu. Taking into consideration the positions in the natural gas hedging program and forward retail and wholesale power sales, EFH has effectively hedged an estimated 100%, 61% and 32% of the price exposure, on a natural gas equivalent basis, related to Texas Competitive Electric Holdings (TCEH) expected generation output for 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively (assuming an 8.5 market heat rate). These estimates reflect currently governing Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) regulations and do not include the potential impacts of the Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) issued in July 2011 that is currently stayed pending appeal.
Based on the size of the hedging program at March 31, 2012, a $1.00/MMBtu change in natural gas prices across the hedged period would result in the recognition by EFH of up to $630 million in pretax unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses. The effects of changes in forward natural gas prices on the values of positions in the natural gas program are reflected in net income (GAAP) as discussed above. Reported net realized hedging gains associated with this program totaled $513 million (pretax) for the first quarter of 2012. For the same period, reported unrealized mark-to-market net losses associated with the hedging program totaled $129 million (pretax) in 2012, reflecting reversals of previously recorded unrealized gains on positions settled in the quarter, partially offset by the effect of lower natural gas prices on open positions. In comparison, the realized net gains for the first quarter of 2011 were $340 million and unrealized mark-to-market net losses totaled $342 million. Given the volatility of natural gas prices, it is not possible to predict future reported unrealized mark-to-market net gains or losses and the actual net gains or losses that will ultimately be realized upon settlement of the hedge positions in future years. If natural gas prices at settlement are lower than the prices of the hedge positions, the hedges are expected to mitigate the otherwise negative effect on earnings of lower wholesale electricity prices. However, if natural gas prices at settlement are higher than the prices of the hedge positions, the hedges are expected to dampen the otherwise positive effect on earnings of higher wholesale electricity prices and will in this context be viewed as having resulted in an opportunity cost. The cumulative unrealized mark-to-market net gain (pretax) related to positions in the natural gas hedging program totaled $2,995 million and $3,124 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Forward Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties. A discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from management's current projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations is contained in EFH's filings with the SEC. In addition to the risks and uncertainties set forth in EFH's SEC filings, the forward-looking statements in this release regarding the company's natural gas hedging program could be affected by, among other things: any change in the ERCOT electricity market, including a regulatory or legislative change, that results in wholesale electricity prices not generally moving with natural gas prices; any decrease in market heat rates as the program generally does not mitigate exposure to changes in market heat rates; the unwillingness or failure of any hedge counterparty or the lenders under the company's collateral revolving credit facility to perform their respective obligations; or any other event that results in the inability to continue to use a first lien on TCEH's assets to secure a substantial portion of the hedges under the program.

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - The University of Richmond Spiders baseball team fell to the George Washington Colonials, 9-4, at Pitt Field on Friday afternoon. With the loss, Richmond's record on the season drops to 16-15, while George Washington improves to 13-20. Both teams stand at 3-4 in the Atlantic 10.
Sophomore Mike Small had a pair of hits and a RBI for the Spiders, while junior Jacob Mayers and senior Phil Ruzbarsky each drove in one. Senior Bryan Conway also had two hits on the afternoon for Richmond.
On the mound, Mayers was again great for the Spiders, tossing eight innings while striking out a career-high 12 batters. Mayers allowed two runs on just four hits. Out of the bullpen, senior Alex Maffett (2-2) took the loss for Richmond.
After the Spiders scored a run in the bottom of the third on a passed ball, Richmond added to its lead in the next inning. After leading off the fourth with a double to deep center field, Conway was plated by a Small RBI single to right field. Two batters later, the bases were loaded with two outs for Mayers. After falling behind in the count, Mayers battled back and earned a RBI, drawing a walk to push the Spiders' lead to 3-0.
In the top of the seventh, the Colonials cut the lead to just a run, scoring twice. In the bottom of the frame, Ruzbarsky pushed the advantage back to a pair with a RBI single through the right side of the infield, making the score 4-2 in favor of Richmond.
Still leading by two, the Spiders turned the game over to their closer Maffett. The senior struggled to find the strike zone and GW took advantage, scoring seven runs in the inning on five hits and an error.
In the bottom of the inning, Richmond was unable to stage a dramatic comeback and fell to George Washington, 9-4.
The Richmond Spiders will continue their three-game, Atlantic 10 conference series with the George Washington Colonials on Saturday. First pitch at Pitt Field is scheduled for 2 p.m.

How to wear a scarf?
So... It's started.

I've recently gotten into wearing a scarf ala The Queen...in other words, draped across the back of the neck and either knotted in front or secured with a brooch. It heightens the old lady chic that I'm completely obsessed with!ReplyDelete
I thought I would mention this since I just found it: http://www.scarves.net/scarf-tying-index.html tons of interesting ways to tie a scarf on there. (lol, sorry for sounding like a spambot Em, but I just thought it was a cool link)ReplyDelete
Hi there! Thank you for leaving your post. Due to some blatantly obvious spammers I have had to turned comment moderation back on with word captcha for older posts. Hopefully the spammers will bugger off and I can take some of the settings back to normal quickly! Thank you and smooches! Em. x

4. Re: Hierarchy table - where clausea.stoyanov Mar 21, 2013 3:26 PM (in response to SriniVEERAVALLI)Hi,
Thanks for reply. I'm not sure if you understand me correctly. For example:
I have in a table values X, Y, Z. So i want in the result tab - 3 tables: The first one displays X values, the second displays Y values and the third - Z values. I'm not sure if with your proposal i'll solve the issue. In the result there must be 3 different tables/if we consider my example/. So is it possible to have 3 different WHERE clauses/filters/ associated to the tables:
1. Where <column> = 'X' for the 1st table
2. Where <column> = 'Y' for the 2nd table
3. Where <column> = 'Z' for the 3rd table
Sorry if your solution is correct for the relevant issue.
Thanks in advance,
5. Re: Hierarchy table - where clauseSriniVEERAVALLI Mar 21, 2013 6:25 PM (in response to a.stoyanov)Using 1 report with 3 different views using 3 different filters I dont think we can do that. I'll keep check for any ones for possible way.1 person found this helpful
For these kind of requirements we got run time filters like Dashboard/Page/report prompts
In other way Instead of filters I would suggest to use Pivot table and pull the column in the sections, that would separate the view based on values... if you compromise with layout Pivot table is the good to go.
Btw: At first instance I was not clear with Table (db table or view as in answers) thats the reason I didnt responded.
6. Re: Hierarchy table - where clausea.stoyanov Mar 22, 2013 11:12 AM (in response to SriniVEERAVALLI)Thanks for the help, I think i figured it out. Because in my situation i have a hierarchy table i created some selection steps. It seems good now but it'll be great if there is better solution.

Can This Be for Real? A Prosecution of Banksters Being Launched! What's the Catch?
From WSJ:
Federal prosecutors are preparing to file criminal charges against former Wall Street traders alleging they misstated the value of mortgage bonds, an issue central to the 2008 financial crisis, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office is planning to allege in a criminal complaint that several former traders at Credit Suisse Group AG, a major global investment bank, misled the bank's investors by booking inflated prices of mortgage bonds to boost their bonuses, despite knowing the values of those securities had dropped, according to the people familiar with the matter.

is that it goes much deeper than this. While these prosecutions may be warranted, they're more than likely an effort to sweep the crimes of the bigger fish under the rug. If they take down a few patsies, they can then say "See? we ARE prosecuting Wall Street!"
I agree brother John . .. When WE THE PEOPLE start seeing the names of
the Owners, Major Stock Holders and Executive Officers of the following "Shadow Private
Rothschild Bank of London
Rothschild Bank of Berlin
Warburg Bank of Hamburg
Warburg Bank of Amsterdam
Lazard Brothers of Paris
Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy
Chase Manhattan Bank of New York
Goldman, Sachs of New York
Lehman Brothers of New York
Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York
. .. joining Jonathon "Nuclear Secrets For Sale" Pollard and Bernie "Stole from The Tribe" Madoff
in their cell block "Special" community . . .
. . . THEN I will believe that the REAL problem is being attacked. Until then, all we are seeing are
insignificant "sacrifices" to placate the masses to trick them into thinking something is being
done by thier "leaders".
"Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country.
When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank.
You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin!
You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Grace of the Eternal God, I will rout you out!"
- U.S. President Andrew Jackson, February 1834
"Well, you say that I'm an outlaw,
You say that I'm a thief.
Here's a Christmas dinner
For the families on relief.
Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.
And as through your life you travel,
Yes, as through your life you roam,
You won't never see an outlaw
Drive a family from their home."
- "Pretty Boy Floyd" by Woody Guthrie

As part of Harvard Kennedy School's dedication to giving students hands-on experience of public service, the Women and Public Policy Program's Cultural Bridge Fellowship gives students the opportunity to provide impactful work across the globe. By providing a stipend and contributions to travel costs, WAPPP encourages the students to spend a summer out in the world, making a difference.
The 2010 Cultural Bridge Fellows are in Afghanistan, the Maldives, Turkey, Liberia, Hong Kong, Bhutan, Haiti and India, and they are blogging on their work. A complete list of their blogs and backgrounds can be found on the Cultural Bridge Fellows website.
Below are some sample posts from the fellows.
Afreen Akhter, MPP 2011 — Afghanistan
Governing Locally
"Well if they're saying that we're not doing anything – perhaps that's a good thing. Our role, after all, is to prop up the government with as little visibility as possible," Elizabeth told me on the car ride to Panjob – a remote district of Bamyan. She was half-joking, half-not. She'd worked in conflict zones for a long time, and had developed an almost biting sarcasm for the way foreign forces were perceived by the locals.
The problem, and Elizabeth knew this, was that most people I'd interviewed hadn't articulated any faith in central, provincial, or district governments. The only kind of governance that elicited positive responses on a continual basis – was local governance.
Afua Entsuah, MPP 2011 — Liberia
Madame President
Last Wednesday, our office had the privilege of meeting with Her Excellency [Ellen Johnson Sirleaf]. Originally, our meeting was set in order to discuss the future of the Philanthropy Secretariat (the office's 3-year pilot period ends next year). The discussion however quickly turned into the value of philanthropy in Liberia.
I'm not sure what I expected from the President, but a few things surprised me: 1. she came in by herself - not one aide with her 2. she had read our report entirely and was very clear about what she agreed and disagreed with 3. Along the same lines of the first two surprises, she had no notes with her. I was pleasantly surprised at all this, because I know there are many initiatives under the President's office, and she has a lot of engagements inside and outside the country. The President's main message to us was that she wanted to see foundations align their investments more with Liberia's Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS). She also wanted to see more harmonization among the various philanthropic initiatives in Liberia, so programs could be scaled up for greater impact.
To find out about more bloggers and their backgrounds, visit the WAPPP Cultural Bridge Fellows website.
Through the generosity of the Nancy Germeshausen Klavans Foundation, as well as the Doscker Family Foundation, the Cultural Bridge Fellowship enables students to couple their academic knowledge with a field experience that advances gender equality across the globe.

Anybody else had this problem? Just started last night.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) light came on while I was driving and stayed on. This morning, same thing, so I checked the manual. It says that the "ESC" and "ESC Off" indicator lights should come on when the engine starts (during the system check), which it has always done. Then the ESC light should go off and the "ESC Off" light should go on and then off after 3 seconds. While driving, if the car senses the need, the "ESC" light will blink off and on when the system is engaged, i.e. when the ESC is automatically activated. When its on, you can turn ESC off by pushing the "ESC off" button.
My ESC light stays on solid, and if I push the ESC off button it lights up and they both stay on.
I have the factory wheels and tires (Nexen 225/45/R18) and normal tire pressure (33 PSI warm) in all 4 tires.

Your question is far from clear, but this pehraps might be what you
are lookign for:
r = {Cos[u] Sin[v], Sin[u] Sin[v], Cos[v]};
Union[Cases[r, _Symbol?(Not[NumericQ[#]] &), {-1}]]

The Not[NumericQ[#]] & part is needed in case you r was something like:

Fisher -Price Ocean Wonders Projector Mobile
1 Recommendation
MeMee4's recommendation
This is the greatest invention for babies and toddlers since the Diaper Genie! We received this when my son was about a year old and it quickly replaced his regular mobile. The projector part is a great feature. It shines fish, "bubbles" and shapes on the ceiling, which is fascinating to watch and very relaxing...for paretns and kids! There is also a light that shines down from the mobile into the crib, and multiple music choices. You can turn any of the lights off, and adjust the volumne of the music as well. there is also a remote control, so you can turn the mobile back on once it has gone off from across the room. The fish are pretty colors and can be removed for washing. We love this - my son is 2 now and we still use this mobile almost every night while we read books before bedtime.
