Our credentialed music therapists tailor sessions to each individual, utilizing personalized music exercises and interventions to address each person's unique experiences of loss or trauma. Involvement in music addresses trauma in two ways: music reaches us on an emotional level to help with coping, as well as on a neurological level to address and heal areas of the brain that are affected when trauma or loss are experienced. Our music therapists work with each client using musical elements like songwriting, processing, and guided imagery to help clients find their own voice and learn new coping skills to help manage trauma of any severity.

Grief Counseling Grief counseling is a journey with many turns in the road. One moment you can't imagine how you can go on and the next, it's seems like maybe the cloud is beginning to lift. When I work with someone who is experiencing grief, I sit with them during the painful trip that they are taking. Grief counseling more than any other kind of counseling as blend of spirituality and practical reality, In our work together we will work with both parts of the healing; how to gain some perspective that can help us to go on and practical things that can be done to help with deal with painful difficulties in relating to the deep sense of loss.

We all experience different types of losses over the course of our lives: loss of a loved one, of a job, of a role, or of a way of life. Everyone is affected differently by loss - often the same event can have very different meanings for different people. At the Lukin Center, we work with clients who are grieving a loss to help them identify what the loss means for them in order to work through and grow from their grief.

Grief and loss are events that we all encounter. Handling traumatic loss and grief with dignity is a right available to all who seek answers to life's most challenging times. The goal of closure is frustratingly illusive when dealing with traumatic loss and does not honor the realities of significant loss in life. When a person inevitably can not put 'closure' on significant loss they usually internalize a sense of failure around who they have become. Seeking how to blend loss into one's life as a part of our spiritual development allows a person to fully grow from the inevitable experience of loss while learning how to live a fuller life in their altered world.

Relationship endings are a guaranteed part of life that everyone experiences. When a relationship concludes – whether through death, divorce or some other reason – it is common to review it, examine it and even wish that something about it was different. Perhaps we regret something we said or longed to hear something from the other person. Endings are accompanied by conclusions to our hopes and dreams for the future. My approach to working with grieving clients is to permit them fully feel their loss and to process their grief in their own way and at their own pace. When it comes to grieving clients I will join with them in their loss and will encouraging them to feel all the feelings that surface about the person and the relationship they shared.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of grief & loss through the lens of innovation----instead of growing the same neural networks responsible for the pain in weekly therapy sessions, we reset the brain to move forward quicker and efficiently by working on the stuck limbic system so as to empower the person with more success and traction. For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don't include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

Grief and loss is, unfortunately, a normal part of living. There is no single "correct" way to grieve: different cultures and even individuals from the same culture grieve differently. The only consistent feature is that grief takes time. The most effective thing anyone can do for someone grieving is to be there—to listen, to empathize, to walk along with the grief. There is no "fixing" grief. But counseling can help prevent normal grief from developing into major depression or other mental health conditions.

His reputation for precision fine work eventually brought requests business from the Admiralty and the East India Company. Dent confirmed his expertise by creating in 1829 a chronometer action that incorporated an improved method of reducing the timing errors caused by fluctuations in temperatureRoyal Greenwich Observatory. Beginning in 1826, Dent submitted chronometers to the observatory's annual timekeeping contests, finally winning the 1829 First Premium Award of £300.

Abed Rabbo: Barak-Arafat Summit Soon, but no Swift Peace Deal
A summit is expected soon between Palestinian President Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, though it is "impossible" to reach an early peace deal, Palestine's information minister, Yasser Abed Rabbo, was quoted by AFP as saying Sunday.
"We are expecting a summit between Arafat and Barak in the coming days which will help to bridge the gaps and to build a foundation to resume negotiations after the Israeli election," Abed Rabbo told Voice of Palestine radio.
But he added "it is impossible to reach an agreement in the next few days."
There has been speculation that Arafat and Barak could meet on Tuesday or Wednesday in Stockholm or in Davos, venue for the World Economic Forum, reported Haaretz newspaper.
A senior Israeli source told the daily that Barak will agree to meet with Arafat only if the results of the summit are conclusively arranged in advance.
"Meetings with Arafat in the past didn't exactly turn out as planned," the source said, adding "they haven't always yielded the results which were promised."
According to the paper, Israel's negotiators at the Taba marathon talks, foreign minister, Shlomo Ben-Ami, justice minister, Yossi Beilin and Barak's bureau chief, Gilad Sher, will recommend that Barak meet with Arafat.
Abed Rabbo was speaking the day after Israeli and Palestinian negotiators announced that they were closer than ever to reaching peace after six days of intensive negotiations in the Taba.
"We need to see on the ground a halt to Israeli aggression and the siege and the implementation of what was reached in Sharm el-Sheikh and to allow the inquiry committee to do its work," he added.
Abed Rabbo was referring to an international fact-finding committee set up at a summit in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in October to look into the causes of the four-month wave of deadly Israeli Palestinian unrest, said the agency.
By the siege, he meant an Israeli blockade on the Palestinian territories.
Abed Rabbo, who attended the Taba talks, said the Palestinians were insisting that negotiations with Israel were based on UN resolutions regarding occupied territory and Palestinian refugees.
"Palestinians want a comprehensive agreement to be immediately implemented under supervision of the UN," he said.
"We have not closed any file in negotiations -- even if there has been some progress in some files."
Arafat left Sunday for the Davos meeting, which is being attended by Israel's former prime minister, Shimon Peres.
Barak and Arafat have not met face-to-face since the start of the Palestinian Intifada or uprising in late September -- Albawaba.com

LISTEN: Gerry V Talks With Expert On Depression
With the possibility that depression could have played a role in the death of Robin Williams, many are wondering just what signs someone who is dealing with the disorder might display.
Lori Vann, licensed professional counselor and expert on suicide and depression, told 99.5 WRNO's Gerry V that symptoms can be different for each person.
However, Vann says there are some standard signs to look out for. "They are isolating, just pulling away from others. They're not participating in activities they used to enjoy. You see changes in sleep patterns, even eating habits."
"They just seem off their game," said Vann. "And then when you're looking at severe depression, it's all those things amplified."
Williams' publicist told The Hollywood Reporter that Williams "has been battling severe depression of late."
If you or someone you know may be having thoughts of taking their life, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
iHeartRadio and 24/7 Comedy pay tribute to a giant of comedy, Robin Williams.

AquaSox Win Opener Over Hops 4-3
Petty, Brito Key Eighth Inning Rally
Everett, Wash. – The Everett AquaSox kept missing scoring chances, but finally came through when it mattered most to earn a 4-3 victory over the Hillsboro Hops on Opening Day at Everett Memorial Stadium Friday night. The Frogs overcame command struggles by Rigoberto Garcia and a quality start by Hops right-hander Ben Eckels to come roaring back against the Hillsboro bullpen in the late innings and earn their first victory of 2014.
A couple of returning members of the 2013 AquaSox squad, Kyle Petty and Bryan Brito, played key roles in the win, delivering in Everett's two-out, eighth inning rally to put the Frogs in front for good. Wilton Martinez worked a walk from reliever Dustin Loggins and Brett Thomas hit an infield single. A throwing error on the play allowed Martinez to scamper into third. Petty then followed with a flare single to right that scored Martinez to tie the game and put runners at the corners. After a pitching change, Bryan Brito's infield single scored Thomas and put the Frogs up 4-3, their first lead of 2014.
For the first seven innings, it appeared that Garcia's inability to find the strike zone would be the story of the game, as the 6'5" Dominican right-hander labored to make it through three-plus innings. He walked eight and consistently fell behind hitters. Despite the control issues, Garcia showed flashes of dominance, keeping the Hops hitless and striking out four. He kept hitters off-balance with his mid-90s, moving fastball.
The Hops, however, kept pushing across runs. In the top of the first, Ratliff drew a leadoff walk, stole second, moved to third on a fielder's choice, and scored on a ground ball by Todd Glaesmann. Garcia's command struggles culminated in the third inning when he walked two and hit a batter to load the bases. With two outs, Garcia walked Jordan Parr to force in Taylor Ratliff and give the Hops a 2-1 lead. Glaesmann, who had two RBIs, picked up Hillsboro's first hit of the season with a solo homer off AquaSox reliever Leoncio Munoz in the fifth.
The AquaSox manufactured a run of their own in the bottom half of the first off Hillsboro starter Ben Eckels. After being hit by a pitch, Luis Caballero stole second, advanced on a grounder, and scored on Wilton Martinez' fielder's choice. But that would be all against Eckels, as the righty worked six innings, allowing just the one run on four hits. He walked one and struck out four. The Frogs twice had a runner in scoring position with less than two outs, but could not come up with a clutch hit against the Hops' starter.
The comeback began in the seventh after it appeared the 'Sox would squander another opportunity, this time against the Hillsboro bullpen. Kristian Brito hit a leadoff double off Loggins, but Bryan Brito struck out and Toby Demello popped up to center. Arby Fields, however, sliced a double down the left field line to score pinch runner Taylor Smart and bring the AquaSox within one at 3-2 and set the stage for the eighth inning heroics.
Dylan De Meyer (1-0) picked up the win after working 2.1 scoreless innings in relief. The righty from South Africa did not allow a hit while striking out two and walking one. Loggins (0-1) took the loss after giving up three runs, all earned, in 1.2 innings. Smart, who was taken by the Mariners in 26th round of the 2014 Draft and hails from Maple Valley, made his professional debut when he entered the game as a pinch runner for Kristian Brito in the bottom of the seventh.
The 'Sox and the Hops continue their five game series Saturday, with first pitch scheduled for 7:05. Blake Holovach will make his Everett debut against Hillsboro's Ryan Doran. AquaSox 2014 season and individual game tickets are available now online at www.aquasox.com and by phone at 425-258-3673.

Julius Baer is set to cut 1,000 jobs after the takeover of the Merrill Lynch's wealth management business is completed. The Swiss bank is in the process of acquiring the wealth management business located outside of the US and Japan of the Bank of America subsidiary.
Representatives of Baer have announced plans to implement a "significant reduction of former Bank of America corporate overhead," which will shrink the combined staff of the group by around 15-18 percent.
The group currently employs a combined staff of approximately 5,700. The job cuts are expected to affect the middle and back office functions of the group.

Although sometimes described as a septet, the Introduction et allegro gives the pre-eminent role to the harp, with the other instruments providing accompaniment. The work was commissioned by the Maison Érard, maker of harps and pianos, to promote its new pedal harp as a rival to the more established chromatic harp, and the piece is dedicated to the firm's director Albert Blondel.
Written in June 1905, in the midst of the scandal following Ravel's elimination from the Prix de Rome, it was completed at unusual speed, prior to his departure on a boating holiday with Misia and Alfred Edwards: "J'ai été horriblement occupé dans les quelques jours qui ont précédé mon départ, à cause d'une pièce de harpe commandée par la maison Érard. 8 jours de travail acharné et 3 nuits de veille m'ont permis de l'achever, tant bien que mal." (Letter to Jean Marnold, repr. in Orenstein [1989], letter 16).
The Introduction et allegro is in a single movement lasting about 10 minutes; it received its first performance in Paris on 22.ii.1907.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I became curious about the Blackhawk Covenant 115 since Dave Curtis put one up for sale in his used boats section.
There seems to be an utter lack of information on the 'net about this boat. I have googled it, searched p-net, etc. and I cannot get any information about it. Not that I want to buy it, I just think it is kind of mysterious that there is nothing on this beautiful boat out there.
So, are there any Blackhawk connoisseurs here who can shed some light on this boat, how it handles, what was its intended purpose, etc.? And what the heck does the "115" stand for? It's 14'9" ft. long, so we know it's not the LOA. Capacity? That would be kind of low for a boat that size, I guess.
It is surprising to hear this boat is harder to turn than a Kestrel! My paddling buddy has a Kestrel and it is just as hard to turn as my Blackhawk Starship. I was hoping maybe the Covenant was a highly maneuverable boat.
I have watched the videos on the Placid website and the Rapid Fire seems to turn pretty quickly. So if the Vagabond/Kestrel/Rapidfire are basically the same boat, why is the Kestrel so hard to turn?
Thanks for the info.
I made an inquiry about the Covenant, and the possibility of any "wiggle rooom" on the price.
Was told there was NO wiggle room.
Boat price, coupled with the price of shipping from New York to Missouri was cost prohibitive to me.
I lost interest;evidently some others haven't, or perhaps they're just curious.
I thought it would be a somewhat unique canoe to own; a little bit of a challenge to paddle, and would surely create some good "photo ops"....... if I could con some paddling friends into test paddling it.
I think the last year the Covenant was made was 1991, but that is a guess, based on the last listing I could find of it, in Canoe magazine's 1991 Buyer's guide.
In 1988 it's price was listed at $999.00 in fiberglass, and $1,479.00 in kevlar.
Pretty damn pricey for a solo canoe in 1988!!!
I think I'll probably be happier paddling my Shadow SS Special, Zephyr, or Ariel, than I would a Covenant. No doubt in my mind that any of the 3 will be a lot more user friendly, and more versatile than the Covenant too.
And neither of the 3 have the gunwale, and pedestal issues described.
Still, I'll bet it would be a fun canoe to "play with" if you have money to burn.
It does not appear to be a very practical solo canoe to me, but that was actually part of it's interest to me.
I like to paddle "different" canoes; canoes that a lot of other people don't, can't, or won't.
Since it has no flotation chambers; I'm sure you would need some small air bags if you were going to try anything even remotely close to class 3, or if you were going to be hauling a decent load of gear for a multi overnight trip.
Personally, I wouldn't use it for anything but a day floating boat, or for an overnight with a very light load of gear.
Would love to read new owner's review........if/when it sells.
Covenant specs:
Length: 11' 9"
Weight in kevlar: 35 lbs
Weight in fiberglass: 39 lbs
Widths: 25 1/2 at gunwales
24 1/2 at waterline
Depths: 17 3/4" 11" 16 1/2"
My friend is an experienced canoeist since the 1970s and is a rather small man. I don't think he weighs more than 160 lbs. max. I, on the other hand, am a relative noob and I weigh 230 lbs., a considerably bigger guy than my mentor. I tested his Kestrel without any cargo and it handled my weight fine. But, just like my Starship, it needs some good heeling to the outside for effective turning. And my much lighter and more experienced friend feels the same way.
While it is hard for me to judge another canoeist, given my lack of experience, I don't have any doubts about my friend's skills. He knows how to turn a canoe.
BTW, years ago he did own a Proem and a Covenant and many other canoes. Currently he goes back and forth between the Kestrel and a little cedar strip and 'glass canoe designed and built by a local fellow, and which I simply do not dare paddle because it is so tender. He describes its tippiness as somewhere between the Proem and the Covenant.
Tell you what I'll do; being the scholar & gentleman that I am.
I'll buy that canoe; if you'll drive up to New York from Texas & bring it back to me in Missouri.
We'll test paddle that thing "till the cows come home"; then do a 2 paddler review of the canoe, our trials, tribulations,and any "out of boat experiences", or "fish counts" that might occur.
We'd become self acknowledged "grand poobahs & high muck a mucks" when it comes to the Covenant.
Do demos, charge fees, become rich, buy more canoes.........
just bring it to Florida Canoe Symposium. Charlie and I will be in Yulee along with some three dozen accomplished solo paddlers so happy to advise you and an alligator free pond for you to do your own test.
Plus an opportunity to brush up or improve your skills
Florida Canoe Symposium
We will be there March 15-18. Hope that you are there along with your Covenant.
We could co-write a book about it that would shoot straight up to number one on the New York Times best seller list. The masses are simply clamoring for a book about an obscure canoe that you ride like a horse on a saddle. We could live like kings off the royalties, I tell ya!
Just imagine the story. Bob and Canuka find adventure down the Current River in their shiny new Covenant... Heck, let's make a movie.
I had to update what's written below. I make a note of it here instead of simply changing it, because for a couple of days this post had the word "rearward" mistakenly used instead of "forward".
There are a few Blackhawks owned and paddled by the people I paddle with the most, and though I've looked very closely at where the widest waterline width seems to be, it has never appeared to be forward of center, and with one's knees stuck out into the edges of the hull, it wouldn't be hard to notice if the boat was getting wider ahead of that point, unless we are talking small fractions of an inch. I think the upper-hull profile of these boats makes overall shape a little deceptive looking. This reminds me that someday I want to do an actual measurement of this.
I owned a Covenant just like the one Dave has for sale on his site. I bought it from Dave in 1983 when he was allied with Phil as Canoe Specialists. Those were great days for the solo canoe. I used my Covenant for a few months to trip in the ADKs, then traded it to Dave towards my first Proem. I found my Covenant to be fast whether under trip load or not, and I remember it being surprisingly seaworthy one extremely windy, white capped day on Raquette. It did track straight and was turn resistant, but as Patrick designed this as a travelling boat, and not a playboat, I don't know how much I'd fault it for that. Some would consider it an asset.
I have to take issue with statements made about the pedestal and the trim. I've owned several of Pat's boats with this seat configuration and there's nothing fragile about the rails it rides on, or the seat itself which provides satisfactory floatation for the boat. The key weakness this arrangment has is in the cams that tighten against the rails and keeps the seat in a selected position.
The cams: 7/8" X 1 1/4" were made of epoxy resin and are quite serviceable as long as the cam knobs aren't over-tightend by hand. They tend to break when "horsed" down to tightly. I broke a few of these until I learned to just easily hand tighten. I'm presently looking into having some machined in aluminum which will add almost no weight and aleviate the problem completely. It's well worth the comfort and usability afforded by Pat's pedestal.
The laminated rails which are integrated on Pat's canoes are aesthetically beautiful and quite durable. Of eight Moore designed canoes I've owned with these rails, I've never had one problem - never any separation. They've been easy to maintain, solid and much classier looking (IMHO) than those attached with screw heads visible or the tacky looking integrated composite rails offered on some canoes.
Finally I recall Pat telling me that he's never designed a solo canoe that is fish-form at, or below the water line. They are all Swede-form. It's easy to mistake his canoes for Fish-form, though when looking at the gunwales. They are wider forward of center so that a severe amount of flare can be present in the bow - one of the main reasons the canoe was so dry that day on Raquette.
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

Last Saturday's controversial Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez welterweight title clash may have left a bad taste in many mouths, but as an event, it was a major success, setting a record in Mexican TV history and becoming the country's most viewed boxing event ever. The broadcast, carried via tape delay on Azteca 7, brought in a rating of 31, easily surpassing the previous ratings record of 27, generated by 2010′s Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito bout. Third on the all-time list is March's 23 rating for the Saul Alvarez-Matthew Hatton contest. Translated into raw numbers, Pacquiao-Marquez III had an average live audience of 37.2 million viewers, roughly a third of Mexico's total population (113.4 million). By comparison, the only sporting event in the U.S. with similar numbers is the Super Bowl, which also generally attracts about a third of the country's total population.

A challenging, logical game that already attracted thousands, if not millions, of people. At first game seems to be very simple, as there is just one simple rule. Completely fill board with numbers so that every row, every column and every 3x3 block contains all numbers 1, 2, and 9. But simple rules doesn't mean the game is simple. Try it out.

I've recently returned from a press trip with two very inspiring people from the British beauty blogging and journalism scene: @VexInTheCity and @ASweepingBeauty. Now both are based and living in London, along with the rest of the British beauty collective it seems and the events, dinners and launches they spoke of had me on tenterhooks. I mean, I love visiting the Selfridges Wonder Room and I've toured through the ELC offices of Grovsenor Street but does that mean that there's not a scene here 'up-north'?
We have no head offices, no launches and I've not heard of one blogger event in the year I've been writing. What the hell's going on?
I'm actually based right here in Manchester, the only region to boast two, yes, two Selfridges, the iconic Kendals (since 1832), Harvey Nichols, two John Lewis's, Space NK and a whole plethora of other exciting beauty destinations.
We really do love our skincare and beauty here. I mean look only to the west of Manchester for the infamous 'Scouse Brow', fake tan and hair rollers during the daytime; some of these girls are like TOWIE on acid… I love it! We have tonnes of amazing hair salons, spas, plastic surgeons, cosmetic dentists, everything you could want. Once a year Gok Wan comes to parade his fabulous women through the food court of the Trafford Centre for heavens sake!
I think it's time we had more blogging events, more launches and more everything, we are the new home of the BBC you know. I fully understand why everyone is in London, I mean, it's our capital city, but then maybe if we can't be the new home then just an extension of the beauty world but I feel we shouldn't be shut out any longer. Give us something.

If by "move" you include changing the addressing to match, then that
sounds like a firewall or NAT issue. The defaukt outbound NAT does not
apply to OPT1. But that's a completely separate issue from getting

They still need proper routing setups to do this. Even the target of a

Vikings WR Sidney Rice racked up 201 more yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Lions, giving him the NFC lead in receiving yards through nine games.
Vikings-Lions one-liners

That sucks to hear about Jack Williams being lost for the year. Hopefully that was the only serious injury that the Lions had yesterday.

The Vikings are still a top 10 fumbling team.
Adrian Peterson has slipped from 1st to 2nd in fumbling though.

And the Packers still won't make the playoffs. Funny how things work, right Bob Nelson?
Bob Nelson is a Whiney Titty Baby says: Nov 16, 2009 8:37 PM
Hey Bob,
Since you're pulling statistics out of your ass to prove some lame point, chew on these:
Receiving Fumbles: Packers #7
Punts Blocked: Packers tied for #1
Penalties and Penalty Yardage: Packers #1 and #1
Sacked and Sacked Yardage: Packers #1 and #1
Net Punting Average: Packers dead last
4th Down Percentage: Packers dead last
In fairness (look up the word Bob), the Packers are #1 in the Takeaway/Giveaway ratio.
But here's what matters: Packers 5-4, Vikings 8-1 with a four game lead (including tie-breakers)

I couldnt agree more. That was a joke which in print form is sometimes hard to distinguish. i agree. I see enough insults and name calling on this site its disgusting. But these people wouldnt say it to their face which makes them weak minded.
Ambrose says: Nov 17, 2009 4:48 PM
It's a foregone conclusion that the Vikings will wrap up the North Division, unless of course they have a colossal collapse (which would be delightful.) But just because they will win the division does not mean the Packers can't earn another shot at them. Beating any NFL team twice in one season is hard enough, but three times? The Packers have their shortcomings but they are still in the wildcard hunt, and they are getting better, bit by bit. The Dallas victory was hard as nails and they earned it, even with the aforementioned shortcomings. Division winner and wildcard are basically the same thing….postseason appearances. See you there.
J.Cannon says: Nov 18, 2009 11:21 PM
"Division winner and wildcard are basically the same thing"… plese sir put down your crack pipe. The Vikings are playing for first round bye and or homefield advantage for the playoffs. Let me simplify it for you since you obviously don't understand. The Vikings would have to win two playoff games, one or two of which would be home games, to get to the playoffs. The fudge Packer's would have to play and win three playoff game's none of them being guaranteed home games. Lesson over. P.S. Thanks for Brett Favre we relly love that guy!

Q: Who can use the tutoring services?
A: Any SOU undergraduate student can use the writing center, free of charge. We work with everyone from First Year USEM students to seniors finishing up capstone projects. Talking to a tutor helps struggling writers become more skilled and helps good writers become even better. Students are welcome to bring papers from any course for discussion.
Q: How does a tutoring session work?
A: We believe that most writers, most of the time can benefit from talking to a friendly-but-critical reader about what they are writing. During the session, the student and the tutor work together to choose a priority for the session. The most productive sessions occur at the planning, drafting, and revising stages, when you still have enough time to rethink your ideas, your argument, and your evidence in creative and constructive ways. At these stages, a tutor will ask lots of questions to get you to clarify your claims and strengthen your arguments. Ideally, this conversational exploration will prompt you to refine both the argument and the prose for clarity and power.
Q: Why can't you just fix my paper for me?
A: We've all heard that old proverb that says "Give people fish and they eat for a day, teach them to fish and they never go hungry." This is how we approach tutoring: we're not trying to give you a great paper; we're trying to teach you how to write great papers yourself. Our tutoring sessions are tailored and adjusted to meet your particular needs. We don't use standard lessons or worksheets; instead, we try to work with you and your specific assignment so that you get exactly what you need.
Q: Does the tutor get to decide what we work on?
A: Students get to decide what aspect of writing they would like to address. If the tutor sees a significant problem that you haven't mentioned, she will probably point it out and ask if you'd rather work on that instead, but you get to decide what to focus on.
Q: What do I need to bring to my session?
A: Bring a draft of your paper. If you have a draft ready, bring outlines, notes and ideas. You'll also need your assignment and any texts or class notes that might help.
Q: Can you consult with my professor to find out what he or she wants me to work on?
A: We do not consult directly with professors before a student comes into the Writing Center. We respond to papers based on our knowledge of academic writing in general and of certain disciplinary expectations in particular. Your tutor will provide substantial and relevant feedback on your paper, but the tutor's responses to your writing may not be exactly the same as the instructor's because all readers have different priorities and are looking for different things in a piece of writing.
Q: My professor required me to come to the Writing Center. How can I prove I was here?
A: If you had a face-to-face session in the Writing Center, and you need to prove that you were here, ask your tutor for a Verification of Visit form. Your tutor will indicate the date of your session and what you discussed. PLEASE NOTE: We only provide Verification forms when students have participated in a full session. We cannot give Verifications to students who have nothing to work on or who are not interested in participating in the tutoring process.
Q: How do I access your services?
A: SOU students can access our tutoring services in two different ways:

Comments about EBS MultiComp True Dual Band Compressor Pedal:
I run this pedal in front of a SansAmp Bass Driver and then into the effects return on my head. I use the tubesim and lean on the compression almost all the way. Sounds exactly like a fridge with an all-tube classic head. LOVE IT!!! If you're looking for a more squashed sound, this is not for you. But if you want to tighten up your sound while smoothing out the peaks, you have found the right piece of equipment.
Comments about EBS MultiComp True Dual Band Compressor Pedal:
This compressor does its job and does it well. It's pretty transparent on normal and multi-band settings and enhances tone subtly in tube sim mode. It's also not noisy and keeps the low end on my bass sound. I don't see myself switching compressors any time soon.
Comments about EBS MultiComp True Dual Band Compressor Pedal:
I got this pedal to help keep a grip on my volumes for band practice and gigs. It does a nice job...no noise, just clean tone. I like the tube setting the best...seems to give a nice subtle flavor to my bass sound. The multiband setting is also great...you can adjust thresholds for bass and treble independently. I use a light to moderate amount of compression which seems to really help out. Unlike a lot of rackmount effects...I can easily turn this pedal on and off in the middle of a song with a simple foot click. These types of effects take some getting used to and experimentation. Compression is by no means a cure all for volume/sustain control....you still need to be a dynamic player...but it does provide a nice base to start from. Overall a very good pedal.

They can expect care and compassion, a team approach to medical care and efficiency of practice (minimal wait times or inconveniences). They can also expect the leveraging of technology (such as electronic medical records and the web portal My Chart) to optimize communication and scheduling. Lastly, they can expect grey hair and experience.
I feel the most important factor is mutual trust and respect. Trust that I will do everything I can to find out your problem and get you to the correct test or specialist if necessary. I can trust you to follow through on test referrals or medications, or to let me know if you cannot or choose to not follow through with them.
I enjoy raising Heirloom tomatoes, pretending to exercise and hating grass-cutting.
I think I find it most rewarding when someone comes in for a follow-up visit and the medical problem is under better control or resolved, and they feel better!

You've probably heard of the Paleo diet, also known as the "cavemen" diet. Its concept is simple: our caveman ancestors running around in animal skins ate a pure and perfect meal, completely suited to the human physiology. Everything was Edenic and lovely 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago. Our happy, fit and healthy ancestors enjoyed the health benefits of berries, digging around for wild potatoes, chasing mammals and eating them once they were caught. Cavemen did not have access to microwaves or bake cakes.\n

\n
\n
The Paleo diet is simple: Beyond processed junk foods, it also prohibits dairy, grains, peanuts, lentils, beans, peas and other legumes. You need to skip the salt shaker and drink only water, coconut water, or green teen (but just the organic kind). If you need something sweet, raw honey and coconut palm sugar are your options—but only in limited amounts. What can you eat when you're eating like a caveman? You have your choice of lean meats, fish and shellfish, fruits and vegetables, and nuts and seeds.
\n

\n
\n
As the claim goes, the human body evolved to thrive in the Stone Age, and our genetic makeup has changed little since then. It was the invention of agriculture and the rapid rise of the food industry that brought us the joys of processed and packaged foods, corn syrup, and artificial sweeteners—the things that are damaging our health, bumping up dramatically the number of diseases we wrestle with and killing us slowly.
\n

\n
\n
But the central principles behind the diet are fatally flawed.
\n

\n
\n
While understanding how we evolved could, in theory, help us make the healthiest dietary decisions, and we have in fact carried forward a number of physical traits of our caveman ancestors, the logic falls down when you try to go any further than that, from the arbitrary choice of this very specific band of years to the mistaken claim that we are biologically the same still, 250,000 years later, to ignoring or rejecting the real, documented health benefits of modern foods.
\n

\n
\n
Paleolithic Fantasies
\n

\n
\n
In her book Paleofantasy: What Evolution Really Tells Us about Sex, Diet, and How We Live, evolutionary biologist Marlene Zuk calls the basic tenets of the Paleo diet exactly that: Paleofantasies. Proponents of the diet and lifestyle are working from the daydream that once upon a time, our ancestors were perfectly in sync with the world they lived in, perfectly fit and perfectly healthy. But, Zuk says, "No such time existed." The selection of that narrow band of human history to the exclusion of other periods of human evolution, in fact, has no real logic behind it—and scientists say a specific period of time in which all these foods were consumed probably does not actually exist.
\n

\n
\n
Evolutionary Dead Ends
\n

\n
The Paleo diet insists that we are biologically identical to stone-age humans—ignoring the fact that the human genome has changed significantly in the past 10,000 years. Humans have actually evolved to not just tolerate dairy but to use it efficiently as a good source of calcium and vitamins. Lactose tolerance is actually a mutation that keeps the lactase enzyme active even after infancy. Plus, the bacteria in our intestines have evolved to help us break down the fibers of cultivated plants as agriculture was developed.
\n

\n
\n
The Evolution of Food
\n

\n
\n
The cavemen didn't have access to cows or fields of wheat, and therefore milk and grains are unhealthy. But that's dismissing an entire body of research that shows modern foods are tremendously beneficial for us.
\n

\n
\n
A study showed that adults who consume low-fat dairy are 54% less likely to develop high blood pressure. Fiber from whole grains is known to reduce blood cholesterol levels and lower risk of heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Beans are high in antioxidants, fiber, protein, B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium, copper and zinc, and decrease the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and colorectal cancer. In fact, the American Dietetic Association notes that Paleo diet restrictions and limitations make it unsustainable because of that lack of variety and potential nutrient inadequacies, when entire food groups are eliminated.
\n

\n
\n
What Were They Really Eating?
\n
\n
Some Paleo dieters argue that following the Paleo diet is just using our ancestors as an example—but as it turns out, eating like a caveman is impossible because we don't actually have enough scientific evidence to really know how cavemen were eating.\n
\n

\n
\n
Even were we to pretend we knew exactly what they were eating and how, we still couldn't even actually truly mimic the diet: wild game is not readily available and most modern plant food is cultivated. More importantly, every species of both animal and plant that we eat today is completely different from its Paleolithic predecessor via artificial selection at the hands of humans. At best, you can eat a modified version of the original diet that's completely organic, free-range and gluten-free—and that's where the costs start to add up.
\n

\n
\n
The Bottom Line
\n

\n
\n
In the end, possibly the most important thing to note is that the human genome has changed significantly in the past 10,000 years as our diet has evolved. And if humans could only thrive in their ancestor's exact circumstances the human species would not have lasted 250,000 years.
\n
One thing the Paleo diet does get right, and something we already know: cutting out processed foods including white bread and refined sugars, packaged meats full of nitrates and junk food reduces the risk of heart disease and certain cancers, help control blood sugar, and prevent weight gain and type 2 diabetes. Eating right doesn't have to be primitive.

Yep, variables I didn't list like solder selection or lack of, or connector selection are.
how do you optimally tune a wire to a given frequency
didn't think about that question at all before you asked it? Didn't say anything about 'tuning' a wire. But I did say some speaker cables are built in such a manner to be optimal in the designers view for the driver they are connected to.
lets say I build a cable with 22awg stranded silver wire going to the tweeter with ptfe dielectric and 10awg solid core copper with PVC dielectric going to the woofer. That might be someone's idea of optimal, not mine, but someone's, now if you hook them up in reverse the 10awg to the tweeter and the 22awg it won't sound the same. Less extreme example would be take Kimber 4TC and 8TC while the 4 and 8 can sound pretty much the same on top the 8 will typically be an improvement in the bass.
There's no voodoo in any of what I've written, take the same gauge wire and make a twisted pair out of it and a quad and run them parallel. All three geometries will sound different even though DC is running down them; there capacitance and inductance values differ greatly. Signal will also pass through carbon fiber or a coat hanger or gold wire but they don't all sound the same, if they did you could use anything to hook up your system.
Follow Ups:
Hi Cpk,
Thanks for your input. It's not difficult to understand the issue when the notion of cable reactance is recognized. A double run of asymmetrical geometry speaker cables even when connecting non-bi-wire loudspeakers will create parallel circuits with dissimilar LCR characteristics. That's not my idea of a good thing from an audiophile perspective. While not specifically pertaining to joining asymmetrical geometry bi-wire cables at both ends, according to AudioQuest:
Asymmetrical geometry bi-wire cables even when connected via a proper bi-wire configuration may affect the coherency of bi-wire loudspeakers low-pass and high-pass passive crossover networks:
Text taken from AudioQuest White Paper (see link below):
BiWiring and Cable Geometry:
When BiWiring, the two (bass and treble) cables must either be identical, or have essentially identical geometries. If the cables have different geometries they will have different capacitance and inductance. Capacitance and inductance are the values used to create a loudspeaker's low-pass and high-pass filter networks, together making a crossover. Having different values in the two cables effectively redesigns the crossover… not a good thing! The integrity and coherence of the speaker will be compromised.
See link to AudioQuest white paper PDF file:
He has a history of disruptive behaviour everywhere he posts - and especially in Cable Asylum, where he likes to violate the rules the most.
"optimal in the designer's view for the driver they are connected to"
please qualify that one.
Also, most speaker cables are connected to a crossover first, which are usually loaded with more wire, capacitors and inductors(long, long wires), so how do you "optimize" for that?
You an use 22 awg for speaker cable, which some do or 12 awg, what's the difference? As long as the 22 awg wire meets the voltage/current/power rating what's the difference?
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Pushkar Fair - Pushkar Fair Programme
Guest Comments
Pushkar is a land of immense charm and the fair organised here is famous worldwide for its cultural and commercial significance. Here we bring to you feedbacks from real traveller who have visited the fair with us and have been gracious enough to give us their views.
Pushkar Fair Is A Treat For Visitors - Phillips from UK
I have visited Pushkar fair and know for sure that it cannot disappoint you. There is so much going on in this little town - animals are bought and sold, there are exciting and interesting competions as well as cultural events and not to forget a huge number of devotees who come from far to take a dip in the holy Pushkar lake on the full moon of Karthik (November). The fair is worth visiting if you are contemplating a trip to Indian and specifically Rajasthan. My take on the fair - it's thoroughly enjoyable and a learning experience.
Pushkar Is Wonderful - Martha, US
This was our first visit to India ans seriously we had a tough time adjusting to the surroundings and spicy food. We visited Pushkar on a recommendation of a local who told us that it's just the right time for the annual Pushkar fair and we should not miss it. Since we were in Jaipur, we decided to heed the advice and took a bus to the town. The journey was exhausting and not so comfortable but the town of Pushkar itself was very relaxing. The small town of Pushkar was filled with colourfully dressed locals. Their gold jewelleries seemed impressive. The festive atmosphere was in the air as the music was played on the streets throughout the day. Nights were meant to float candles in the holy lake. We saw a lot of camels and also took a number of pictures. All in all, our visit to Pushkar was an enriching experience and the fair was just mind blowing.

Green Day's "American Idiot" album is about to open as a Broadway musical on April 20, but before the curtain rises plans are underway to turn the musical adaptation into a film. According to Deadline New York, the film will be produced by Tom Hanks Playtone productions with partner Gary Goetzman.
The Broadway musical gives a story line to the songs from the "American Idiot" album that was released in 2004 to critical acclaim and huge sales. It will follow the lives of three young men, one enters the military, one gets his girlfriend pregnant and the other sinks into drug addiction. The show is mostly sung using the Green Day tunes with limited dialogue.
The musical has been in development for a while with a version opening at Berkeley Repertory Theatre produced by Tom Hulce and Ira Pittleman. The Broadway version is directed by "Spring Awakening" director Michael Mayer with musical supervisor Tom Kitt and a good deal of input by Green Day and lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong.
Movie musicals have been showing up in theaters with mixed box office results. Playtone's production of the Abba fueled Mamma Mia was simply hideous, but audiences loved it. The musical adaptation of Nine was a resounding flop.
Now we have a remake of Damn Yankees on the horizon, New Line has picked up "Rock of Ages", Universal is supposed to produce an adaptation of "Wicked" while it's got "In the Heights" on the fast track to becoming a feature film.
Looks like there will be a lot of singing going on in a theater near you.
What do you think of this mini resurgence of the movie musical? Do you love it or will you avoid any film where actors open their mouths and sing?

There used to be a label from a bottle glued onto the rock right next to the anchor. Jim kept falling of at the last bolt when trying to redpoint the route. He was just too nervous about getting the FA done. On the burn when he finally sent, he downed a whole bottle of Hefeweizen and then promptly completed the redpoint.

Python for Kids - A Playful Introduction to Programming. Python is a powerful, expressive programming language that's easy to learn and fun to use! But books about learning to program in Python can be kind of dull, gray, and boring, and that's no fun for anyone. Featuring original artwork by Miran Lipovača. Full color, over 344 pages.
Python for Kids brings Python to life and brings you (and your parents) into the world of programming. The ever-patient Jason R. Briggs will guide you through the basics as you experiment with unique (and often hilarious) example programs that feature ravenous monsters, secret agents, thieving ravens, and more. New terms are defined; code is colored, dissected, and explained; and quirky, full-color illustrations keep things on the lighter side.
Chapters end with programming puzzles designed to stretch your brain and strengthen your understanding. By the end of the book you'll have programmed two complete games: a clone of the famous Pong and "Mr. Stick Man Races for the Exit"—a platform game with jumps, animation, and much more.
As you strike out on your programming adventure, you'll learn how to:
Why should serious adults have all the fun? Python for Kids is your ticket into the amazing world of computer programming.
About the Author Jason Briggs has been a programmer since the age of eight, when he first learned BASIC on a Radio Shack TRS-80. Since then he has written software professionally as a developer and systems architect and served as Contributing Editor for Java Developer's Journal. His articles have appeared in JavaWorld, ONJava and ONLamp. Python for Kids is his first book.

With the swift advancement of technology, most of the business fields are frequently threatened by an evil called piracy. Piracy is rampant in many creative and technology based industries. Here we will be discussing the movie industry, which is very badly hit by piracy.
Movie piracy has become a rampant and flourishing business for a large number of people. And even the general masses accept the evil as it is helping them to save a lot of money. The easy availability and pocket friendly street price tags have made the music piracy and movie piracy industry a million dollar industry throughout the world.
The movie piracy industry has become so widespread that it is causing great loss for the film producers and as well as the distributors who invest a huge sum of money for the making of each film. Movie piracy alone has cost the United States economy $ 20.5 billion per year in loss of business, jobs, wages and taxes, according to a recent market study.
The film industry for years has fought a war against movie piracy. The scenario has reached such an alarming stage that illegal copies of new films are easily available through street DVD sales or Internet download within days, or in some cases, before a movie's hall release. The recent study also shows that a growing number of illegal sites are offering new movies for a free download. Though the authenticity of these downloadable movies is surely questionable, the movie buffs and those who want free entertainment are profusely downloading these movies from such illegal sites.
Many organizations all around the world had tried different ways to tackle movie piracy but nothing effective could be done till now. In the United States of America the organization named Motion Picture Association of America warned against a growing global epidemic of movie piracy. The organization also conducted a study on the Internet where it showed that nearly one fourth of the Internet users have illegally downloaded movies from the Internet.
It is quite an astonishing and disturbing fact that most of the people who buy pirated DVDs or CDs or download pirated movies from the Internet do not know that they are committing a crime or an offence. They are also unaware of the fact that they are the cause for the loss of jobs to a lot of people.
The study was conducted by an organization that queried three thousand and six hundred Internet users in eight countries about online movie piracy. The study was performed in France, Germany, Australia, Italy, Korea, Japan, the U.K., and the USA. The survey showed that online movie piracy is growing too fast and most of the users are not even aware of the offence.
The increasing simplicity of downloading movies through a fast and efficient broadband connection, and the invention of compression technologies and extensive availability of new releases as well as the old classics online, are some of the main factors which attract consumers to download without giving it a second thought. The very high movie ticket prices also tempt people to buy pirated DVDs from the street shops.
