We often get questions about which TV display technology is "better". In particular, the question arises in regard to DLP vs. LCD. This article hopefully will provide some answers.
DLP (Digital Light Processing – Texas Instruments) technology offers several potential advantages over LCD (Liquid Crystal Display – marketed by many companies with trademarked names and variations, such as JVC's D-ILA and Hitachi's LCOS, both of which are reflective LCD rather than conventional transmissive LCD). In particular, DLP projectors have a much higher (higher is better) pixel "fill factor" than transmissive LCD, that is more of the area of an individual pixel is used for the picture as opposed to the grid surrounding the pixel (D-ILA and LCOS do have an excellent fill factor though). With all digital or fixed panel projectors (non CRT), the grid between the individual pixels is static, wasted space, and this can be visible to viewers. It is most commonly referred to as the "Screen Door Effect", or SDE, and many viewers find SDE to be objectionable when it is noticeable. Because of its higher fill factor (pixels closer together, so less space in between pixels), DLP-based projectors generally produce a much smoother looking image with less SDE compared to LCD-based projectors of similar resolution.
Below is a diagram showing pixels arranged with a low fill factor and a high fill factor. The pixels are the same size, but are closer together in a high fill factor panel with the same resolution. With the high fill factor, you cannot see the regions between the pixels as easily, so it has less of a Screen Door Effect.
The second advantage often identified with DLP-based projectors is a high contrast ratio and efficient use of light. Contrast ratio is figure of merit that compares the ratio between the brightest white and the darkest black that a projector can produce. The light output of the projector in lumens and the contrast ratio are generally considered two of the most important performance indicators for HT usage. Generally, a better contrast ratio leads to better black levels and, therefore, a more realistic presentation of darker scenes in movies and TV programs.
While DLP technology has several significant advantages over competing technologies such as LCD, it also has several potential drawbacks, especially in a single chip design like most of them are right now, based on the way color and shades of gray are produced. As mentioned above, when the DLP mirrors flip they can turn light on or off (1 or 0). Video images consist of many different shades of gray or luminosity and, more often than not, also have color. To make the many shades of gray, or regions of varying light intensity, the mirrors have to flip on and off rapidly so that the eye (or the brain) averages or integrates the image and perceives the desired light level. This is called dithering. Other forms of averaging or dithering may also be applied to regions of the screen to further extend the number of levels of gray that can be perceived by the viewer.
With "single-chip" DLP-based projectors, the perception of color is created in a similar way to how the levels of gray are made. To make colored images, light from the bulb passes through a "Color Wheel," a small rapidly rotating wheel with red, green, and blue windows or colored filters, before it hits the DLP chip. (Color wheels on some single-chip DLP-based projectors also have a clear or white section.) To make red, the light from the chip is turned on (the mirrors flip on in the red part of the image) when the red window in the wheel is aligned with the light path, etc. Sequentially turning on the red and blue for a given pixel makes purple, red and green make yellow, etc. Thus by rapidly flipping the mirrors in synchronization with the color wheel, the projector can make all the colors and shades of gray needed for video images. While it is hard to imagine many tiny mirrors flipping so quickly to make a moving image, the system obviously works, and DLP-based projectors are among the most popular and well thought of models available today. For a very informative explanation of how DLP works visit http://www.dlp.com and take the demo.
The potential drawback of this single-chip DLP technology is that in any given instant, the picture on the screen is not the total image, but is instead rapidly alternating between images consisting of the individual red, green, and blue colors. Thus the eye and the brain play the last critical role in making single chip DLP projectors work, by combining or averaging or integrating the picture, so that the viewer perceives the desired image and not the rapidly flashing momentary components of the image.
With a static picture from a single-chip DLP-based projector, it is easy to understand how this averaging works just fine. Where things potentially start to fail is when there is motion in the image, or when one blinks or rapidly moves one's eyes quickly between various parts of the image. In these cases, the perceptual integration of the image may break down and one might see "rainbows" or false flashes of color, in the image. Some individuals have also reported getting headaches after watching single-chip DLP projectors for any length of time. It appears that not all individuals handle this color averaging process equally well. Newer single-chip DLP-based projectors use a higher speed (5x) six segment color wheel, thus greatly reducing the likelihood that an individual will perceive these artifacts. Also, Double Data Rate (DDR) DMD chips reduce artifacts even further by updating the information going to each mirror at a faster rate.
Below is an animated graphic showing what the rainbow effect looks like. You would see it in high contrast areas of the picture when you move your eyes up and down or side to side rapidly.
In contrast, three-chip projectors use a separate chip for the red, green, and blue colors, and thus, simultaneously present the RGB images so that no temporal averaging or integration by the user is necessary. Today, virtually all LCD based projectors intended for HT usage are three-chip projectors. There are some three-chip DLP projectors out there, but these are very expensive and are typically for commercial use only. Hopefully this will be changing.
Thus in today's HT projector market one can select DLP-based projectors with their better contrast ratios, better black levels, and smoother image, but with the risk that some individuals may see artifacts that are not present with LCD projectors.

TWO Army personnel escaped serious injury when their 4x4 flipped over on one of Hampshire's busiest motorways.
The Range Rover overturned on the M3 northbound between junction 12 at Eastleigh and junction 11 Winchester South after colliding with the central reservation shortly after 11am.
No-one was seriously hurt but the vehicle is currently blocking lanes two and three and part of the outside lane on the southbound carriageway.
One casuality was placed on a board as a precaution and the other was walking wounded. They were taken by ambulance to the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester to be checked over, said an ambulance service spokeswoman.
The crash caused major tailbacks in both directions while southbound traffic is already being held up by a vehicle broken down vehicle close to junction 11 at Winchester.
Motorists are experiencing delays of up to 20 minutes.


text: C8 Science Panel meets with public By Ken Ward Jr. September 26, 2011 Story Share PARKERSBURG, W.Va. -- Members of a three-person science team promised Monday night that Mid-Ohio Valley residents would soon get answers about whether the chemical C8 is making them sick."We will be reaching a lot of conclusions soon," said Kyle Steenland, an Emory University scientist and C8 Science Panel member.Steenland and the two other panel members held their first-ever public meeting Monday night, pushed by a local judge to tell residents more about their work.Several dozen residents turned out for the meeting at Blennerhassett Middle School, to quiz Science Panel members about potential links between C8 and high cholesterol, learning disabilities in kids, and how long it takes the human body to rid itself of the chemical.The scientists declined to provide any new data or conclusions from their ongoing work, saying that more reports would be coming out between now and a final product sometime next year."This is about what I expected," said local resident Joe Kiger, a lead plaintiff in the suit that forced DuPont to fund the panel's work, and a consistent critic of the speed of the scientists' studies. "We're not going to get any solid answers right now."Science Panel members are working to implement a key provision of a more than $100 million class-action settlement between DuPont and about 70,000 residents whose drinking water was polluted by C8 from the company's Washington Works plant south of Parkersburg.C8 is another name for perfluorooctanoate acid, or PFOA. In West Virginia, DuPont has used C8 since the 1950s as a processing agent to make Teflon and other nonstick products, oil-resistant paper packaging and stain-resistant textiles.DuPont and other companies have reduced their emissions and agreed on a voluntary phase-out of the chemical, but researchers are still concerned about a growing list of possible health effects and about the chemical's presence in consumer products, as well as continued pollution from waste disposal practices.The panel members were appointed to study C8 and determine if there is a "probable link" between exposure and illness. If they conclude there is, DuPont could be on the hook for up to $235 million for future medical monitoring for area residents. The term "probable link," though, isn't a standard one for scientists who study toxic chemical exposure. It's defined in the DuPont legal settlement as whether, "based upon the weight of the available scientific evidence, it is more likely than not that there is a link between exposure to C8 and a particular human disease" among Mid-Ohio Valley residents taking part in the lawsuit."It's important to recognize that the work we are doing is under a legal framework," panel member David Savitz of Brown University told residents. "It is not under the usual scientific framework we work in."It isn't something where you can just plug numbers into an equation and get the answer, I'm afraid," Savitz said. "It's a judgment. There's no getting around it."Science Panel members have previously published peer-reviewed papers, along with a dozen separate "Status Reports" filed with Wood Circuit Judge J.D. Beane and posted on the panel's website. They've found C8 exposure associated with a variety of adverse health effects, ranging from high cholesterol and hypertension to excess cancer deaths and thyroid disease among children.So far, though, the panelists have not filed a report in which they actually either find or rule out a "probable link" between such problems and C8 exposure. Panel members say those decisions will be made by July 2012. While panelists have traveled the world giving presentations in which they provide data to fellow researchers, the panel's Status Report documents to the local community have been short on detailed evidence to support their conclusions.Panel member Tony Fletcher of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said he and his colleagues have tried to provide frequent updates without overwhelming or confusing the public about their work. Publishing in journals and networking with other scientists provides the panel with important feedback and helps ensure the reliability of their work, Fletcher said."We've tried to be reasonably transparent with the public," Fletcher said.A second public meeting is scheduled for today<co tues> at 6 p.m. at Meigs Local Middle School in Pomeroy, Ohio. Science Panel members are also scheduled to appear at a hearing before Beane in Wood Circuit Court at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in Parkersburg.Reach Ken Ward Jr. at email@example.com or 304-348-1702.

Not all birdies sing pretty. Think peacock shrieks and the aubade of grackles outside your bedroom window. Despite all that, composers have long considered feathered songsters to be prime operatic material. Of local interest, note Santa Fe Opera productions featuring a significant raven (Marvin David Levy's The Tower), both real and mechanical birds (Stravinsky's The Nightingale) and a simple generic "bird" (Judith Weir's Blond Eckbert).
Other ornithological examples abound. Rossini had his magpie. Mozart toyed briefly with a goose from Cairo. Wagner had a thing for swans, ravens and a loquacious Forest Bird. Next month the Los Angeles Opera revives a rarity: Walter Braunfels' Aristophanes-based work from 1920, The Birds. Even my own childhood introduction to opera was avian: Rimsky's Le Coq d' Or. So why not, for a harmless parlor game, play musical birds for yourself?
Or, better yet, head over to the Lensic March 27 and 28 for Santa Fe New Music's really big youth opera, The Language of Birds, with composer, conductor, and founding impresario of SFNM, John Kennedy, at the helm. It's the second time around for Kennedy's work. He received a commission from the Sarasota Opera for a new piece for its thriving youth program, and this two-act work for young voices had its premiere there in 2004.
For his libretto, Kennedy chose a Russian folktale retold by children's author Rafe Martin, known for his adaptations of traditional stories, mostly from Asian or Native American sources. It's a tale of two brothers, the elder one selfish and sly, the younger compassionate and wise. Because of a kind deed to an endangered fledgling, the younger brother learns the language of birds. After a shipboard adventure reveals the power of this knowledge, the two find themselves in the kingdom of Czar Demyan, sleepless and tormented by the incessant chatter of three crows.
The elder brother tries and, under pain of death, fails to resolve the Czar's predicament. The younger, able to understand the crows' language, allows the ruler to find sleep once more. As his reward, he receives the hand of the Princess and half the kingdom. His brother, forgiven, becomes his keeper of horses.
Because of the girl-heavy auditions here, Kennedy altered the libretto: The brothers have become sisters, the Czar a Queen and the Princess a Prince. The essential fabric of the story remains the same, but Kennedy tells SFR, "We've added an element of girls' lib."
Like most fairy tales, this story is rich in moral implication. That's one of the reasons Kennedy chose it.
"There's depth here, and an appeal to all ages. It's a challenging tale, plus there are lots of roles. And the environmental message is clear: The world of the birds, the natural world and our human world are interconnected," Kennedy says. Sympathy and kindness will trump mere cleverness every time.
Kennedy's music presents fine opportunities for his many young artists. Too often, youth operas are sappy, one-dimensional works that only a parent can love. Kennedy has devised a lyrical, melodic, through-composed score, easily available to audiences of all ages. It's rhythmically complex though lightly scored, an extension of the warm-hearted American vein mined by, say, Copland and Barber. It's moving and affectionate without pretense, considerate of young voices and dramatically effective.
The production itself commands respect. More than 60 young people ages 4 to 19, selected from many area schools, from every economic bracket, participate in a huge variety of roles. As Kennedy points out, they pay no required tuition fees. They're committed, they work hard and, in addition to musical values, they learn discipline and self-mastery. They'll be accompanied by a small professional orchestra.
SFNM in general and The Language of Birds in particular, as significant contributors to the community, depend heavily upon reciprocity, upon the community's participation, both financial and otherwise. Kennedy describes the "message" of his opera in two words, words that might apply equally well to the community's support of this and other SFNM projects.
"Be kind."

Suns to sign Brian Grant
Paul Coro
The Arizona Republic
Aug. 16, 2005 12:00 AM
Veteran power forward Brian Grant has agreed to terms to join the Phoenix Suns, according to his agent.
Grant, 33, will tie up loose ends of the deal Tuesday but will not be able to sign with Phoenix until he clears waivers Wednesday afternoon. Grant accepted a deal for the Suns' largest available sum, a $1.67 million biannual exception, and will have a player option for a second year in the contract.
Grant turned down "much more" lucrative offers elsewhere to be in Phoenix.
"It's a great franchise, no doubt about it, with the best record last year, a great point guard and a need (for a big man)," Bartelstein said. "We think it's a terrific fit."
Grant has played 11 seasons in the NBA with Sacramento, Portland and the Los Angeles Lakers, where he spent an injury-riddled year last season. At 6 feet 9 and 254 pounds, Grant is known for his defensive and rebounding prowess with career averages of 10.7 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. He only had eight starts last year, down from 76 in 2003-2004, and had career lows in scoring (3.8) and rebounding (3.7) averages.

For May, we've teamed up with Attune Foods to bring you Whole Grain Brunch. We challenged eight food bloggers to develop a whole grain brunch recipe using one of our flours and an Attune Foods cereal. Each week, two bloggers will post a great whole grain brunch recipe. Here is the seventh of the eight recipes from Cara of Cara's Cravings. Head over to her blog to check out her giveaway and win a prize pack of Attune Foods and Bob's Red Mill products.
I never thought I'd write these words, but fried chicken – real, buttermilk-brined, super fresh from the frier fried chicken – is almost magical. I say "almost" because the real magic happens when you pile it on top of a crisp, buttery, lightly-sweet waffle and drown it in real maple syrup. Believe it or not, I only recently discovered this, when I not-so-gently encouraged my husband, Ben, to order Chicken and Waffles on a recent vacation in Las Vegas. Being from Massachusetts, it's not something you see on a lot of menus around here, so it was a first for both of us.
Since then, we've been borderline obsessed with the idea of chicken 'n waffles and the next time Ben ordered them was while we were out with friends in Chicago. It was also during this trip to Chicago that I caught up with my friend Annelies from Attune Foods, and she invited me to participate in a Whole Grain Brunch event co-sponsored by Attune Foods and Bob's Red Mill. The idea was simply to create a brunch-style recipe using one whole-grains product from each Attune and Bob's Red Mill. Naturally, I was happy about the offer to team up with two gluten-free friendly companies dedicated to creating wholesome products with no extra "stuff."
It wasn't much longer before my vision of what to make became clear: Chicken 'n waffles! Given my choice of Attune and Bob's Red Mill whole-grain products, I chose Erewhon Corn Flakes Cereal and Almond Flour. Of course, my version would have a healthier spin and a little flavor twist. The cornflakes became the crispy crust on baked chicken breasts (which Ben proclaimed were "still very juicy like the fried kind") and the almond meal went into a gluten-free sweet potato waffle.
With this new recipe in our arsenal I don't think we'll ever lament about the lack of chicken 'n waffles seen on brunch menus around MA. PS: If you you're inclined to add an egg on top, do it! We kept it "light" the first time around, but when leftovers became dinner the next night, a runny fried egg was a perfect addition.
Sweet Potato-Almond Waffles with Crispy Oven-Baked Cornflake Chicken
4 servings
- 12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 4 equal pieces
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 egg white
- 1 cup Erewhon Corn Flakes Cereal
- 1 cup Bob's Red Mill Almond Meal
- 1 tablespoon Bob's Red Mill Arrowroot Starch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Extra maple syrup, for drizzling
To prepare chicken:
Place chicken in a medium bowl. Whisk together almond milk and cider vinegar and pour over chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Set a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and mist with cooking spray.
Measure the flour and chili powder into a medium zip-top plastic bag and shake to combine. Place the egg white in a small bowl. Grind the cereal into a coarse meal using a small food processor, and pour the crumbs onto a plate.
Remove all of the chicken from the milk and place in the bag with the flour. Shake until the chicken is fully coated. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg white and then roll in the cornflake crumbs. Transfer to the baking rack.
Bake for 17-20 minutes, until lightly browned on the outside and no longer pink inside.
To prepare the waffles:
Mist waffle iron with cooking spray and preheat according to manufacturer's directions.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond meal, arrowroot, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl or large glass measuring cup, whisk the eggs, sweet potato, almond milk and syrup. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix well.
Spoon batter evenly into waffle iron. Close the waffle iron and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until waffles are crisp on the outside and cooked through.
Waffles may be kept in a warm oven until ready to serve.
To serve, place one waffle on each of four plates and top with one piece of chicken. Serve with maple syrup.

A little excessive on the continuation call?
I don't understand the new continuation rule.
The defense has to get better.
Neither do the officialsThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
We ight, yo.
I don't think David West can beat the Sixers by himself, but I guess we'll find out.
yeah doubt were gonna win this one
No worries, we got this.
That was a Larry Sanders foul, Roy.
If you are to foul him at least make sure that he doesn't hit the shot
Defense looks awful, we just look a step slower.
The bench has to bring it today our starters are just getting beat.
Danny trying to get inside and make some creative passes...
Also need to improve on the glass.
Let's see DC today
Yeah DC instead of Price
Collison why did you gamble on Spencer Hawes grrr...
In regards to taking Dahntay out of the rotation, if we start having trouble with stretch fours, I'd rather have him in than Tyler.
Sixers getting some crazy continuation calls, but I'm shocked at how lazy (mentally) the Pacers have been on defense. Especially Granger.
Product of clinching?
Lou is a moron, but more inexcusably lazy defense.
I'm not entirely sure that this was a foul.
Someone keeps yelling "Ball don't lie!"...Rasheed?
Leave it to the Pacers to lay an egg in one of their few highly attended home games.
Sixers are just straight out-playing us. Hopefully they slow down.

Topic: New to board Had RFA to Bile Duct
Diagnosed with CC in April 2012. 3 unsuccessful tries to put stent in. Resection attempt was unsuccessful due to CC going up bile duct too far. Had gallbladder removed. At time of resection the surgeon was able to direct ERCP Dr to better route for stent. Stent placement was successful. ERCP Dr thought I was good candidate for RFA of Bile Duct. Did 1st one in June with plastic stent and had another RFA to bile duct on August 18th and had a metal stent put in at that time.There is a questionable small metastisis in liver, the last CT scan I had about the 1st of August showed it to be less visible. I am not choosing to do Chemo as I have fibromyalgia and am already extremely limited physically. I spoke with Dr the other day and asked about possible RFA to liver tumors when they arise and whether it was worth it and he thought that it was worth it. Feeling pretty good these days, and stent is working fine so far.
I have been looking at this board for awhile and can't seem to find any discussion of RFA to bile duct. Anybody else out there have this done? I was this ERCP Dr's first patient to do this on, and I was his second!!

Beretta 90-Two grips
I just bought my second Beretta, first 90 Two in .40 Cal.
I agree with everyone about the slickness of the grips, IMO they are not much different than 100 other polymer pistols. I have a lot of pistols, mostly metal frames with variations of factory and aftermarket grips, it is terribly important to me that first the pistol fit the hand and second it FEEL like you can hold it in any weather with wet cold hands. Even my target .22 which will never see wet or cold seems to stick right to my palm (I have big meaty hands, I have to buy extra links for my watches). I think this is the one mistake Beretta made on the 90Two. I like the idea of a couple of you guys that put traction tape on the grip areas that are textured.
I have what I think is a better idea, I will grind down or cut out the textured areas and "over mold" them with a black or grey silicone rubber. I will be experimenting with my own pistol in the next few weeks and will keep you posted.
Assuming I have great success who's interested in a set?

If my LGS actually gets in the 90-two they keep swearing up and down that they're getting in, then I would be. But they've been swearing to me and a few others that they're getting at least three in for the last 7 months.

—Sarah Parkinson, New Dream graphic design intern

Finding Microsoft's New CEO
John Thompson, Lead Independent Director, Vows Not to Be 'Pawn' for Gates

Mr. Thompson, Microsoft's lead independent director, heads the board committee charged with finding a successor to Mr. Ballmer. The attention lavished on him underscores his pivotal role in a recruiting process that may...

Several months later, still grieving, Cork is contacted by the wife of the man who owned and flew the charter plane. An unlawful death suit has been filed against the pilot's estate alleging that he had been drinking the night before the flight disappeared and his ability to fly the plane was impaired. But credible evidence suggests he was not flying the plane that crashed. And if he didn't fly the plane into the storm, then who did?
Soon, Cork is pulled deep into a dangerous web of corruption that takes him to the rugged, isolated outback of Wyoming and forces him into deadly confrontations with law officers on the take and murderous drug lords who create "safe havens" on Indian lands along the porous borders of the United States. But in the midst of the danger and deception lies the possibility that Jo's disappearance was not the end of her, that somewhere along the labyrinthine path of his search, maybe even in the broad shadow of Heaven's Keep itself, Cork will find her alive and waiting for him.
©2009 William Kent Krueger; (P)2009 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"One of the best so far!"
I am working through all the titles by Krueger. I listen mostly in the car while driving. I can tell when I'm hooked on the story by whether I get out of the car when I get home or if site in the driveway and continue to listen. It doesn't happen with all his books but this one it did. Very good
Audible Fan, Amazon Customer, Gardener, Quilter, Liberal and Activist. I'll read about anything!
"A different "Iron Lake" mystery"
"Heavens Keep" takes place in Wyoming..home of Walt Longmire..what an opportunity for 2 great authors to get together with two of my favorite characters..Walt and Cork O'Connor. Maybe then the name of the mountain range that Cork wanders thru searching for Jo would have been pronounced correctly. As it was, the mispronunciation was consistent but grating.
New to the series in his second book is Narrator Buck Schimer. Since his voice is quite similar to David Chandler, there isn't a glaring difference, though Schimers "Henry" is very different.
I enjoyed this episode very much. It was so totally different from the previous novels and this added a diversion that needed to come..plus a dramatic change of characters and addition of a couple of new characters.
Finally, I have very much appreciated the maturing of O'Connors youngest child in Kreugers writing. Kids don't stay the same, yet so often authors 'insert cute 6 year old here' for some family and never let the kid grow up..or we meet the child only as a grown up, with decades of back story we'll never know as readers. Kreuger either is or will be a great dad some day if he treats his own kids the same way as Cork and Stephen interact.
This entire series is well worth your credits!
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
Wow! This listening experience grabs you fast and holds you hard! The whole Cork O'Connor series is great to read or listen to, but this one is particularly suspenseful and heartbreaking.
Just be careful if you're driving. You'll want to make the trip longer and longer because you just can't bear to stop yet!
"Great O'Connor Episode with one star reservation."
My problem is not with WKK here unless he was involved with the recording production. I have listened to all but 3 of WKK's books now. The ones on here, at least. I love all of them. I even like all the readers and I don't even think my complaint is with Buck Schirner here. He does a great job...but I also liked all the Craig Johnson series of Walt Longmire novels and I am VERY accustomed to George (Gold Standard Narrator) Guidall talking about Ab sir ROH ka County and in this book there must have been 200 instances of Ab sarra kuh mountains. Even if there is a chance this version was right I did all the other Longmire books first. It was worse than a movie with a bunch of "Call 555 3495"s in it. If this is my only complaint then it means I am very happy with it and when a picky person is happy you should have no hesitation about buying. I am sad that I only have 3 more WKK books before I have to put him on my list of "Waiting for him to write another book" authors.
Jo was a good character but I understand why she had to be retired.
"ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL LISTEN!! Love this series!"
definitely will listen to this one again as well! Keeps you always wondering!
Cork O'Connor is a great character and I want to listen to all his series!
Have not ever and was not real excited about him as narrator at beginning after listening to "Iron Lake", but found that he was also very good to hear.
Could hardly stop listening and definitely could not wait to get back to the story.
Already wondering which one of the series will be next in my Must Have list.
Although part of a delightful series Heaven's Keep stands alone but keeping up the high standard set in the earlier novels. Once again the awe inspiring scenery and the miriad cultures of the first American tribes form an intricate background to the action.
"what a let down"
When you have followed ed a series for several years/novels you feel you have a stake in the characters and what happens to them. The first bid for a divorce was the change of reader. MR Schimer has a nice voice but that is all he has, one voice and it is not a familiar one. . The women are all a variation on the same falsetto. Every one seems to speak with a halting accent that, I guess, is supposed to be native American. The story is good enough and with a better reader it could have been engaging but this change of reader is not been a move to the better. The story is Ok but it had a heavy under tone like Mr Krueger had just moved or was considering a move WY and this was a travelogue of the area. If you are familiar with the characters this is a pivotal part of the story..but if you are considering this as an introduction to Cork O'Conner...pick an earlier title.
"One of the best.iliked"
I'm kind lost right now! I just finished the book and it left me feeling empty.
I don't care for Buck Schirner it's hard
To tell one voice from another even females. Please bring back the original narrator. It is a great book! It brought me back into Krugers series! he is a very good writer. enjoy Ed..
"Narrator Murders Mystery"
In print only. The audible version is awful.
You're kidding, right?
I love the Cork O'Connor series, but I'm going to skip all the books narrated by Buck Schirner. Maybe I'll try reading the print versions, but I have to get this voice out of my head first.
I bought this book months ago. The narrator of the previous books had been replaced by Buck Schirner, who I found to be the most annoying narrator I've heard so far. His male voices are just barely okay, and his females all sound like Jonathan Winters doing "Maudie Frickett" - the granny in the long black dress and white wig.
I put the book away, thinking I'd like it better if I waited a while. I picked it up again this weekend, starting from the beginning again, and though I stuck with it for several chapters, it was even worse than the first time.
If Buck Schirner continues to narrate, I'd suggest that he forego character voices and just read the book. It would be infinitely better.
"Great story"
Story keeps you on the edge thru ought. It isn't until the end that you figure everything out. Overall great.
Great thriller. I enjoyed the First Nation insights. Cork O'Connor is a great fictional character.

i don't want Ben to be Batman.i want Bale to return
Ben Affleck was ok as the Daredevil but as Batman I would say no.My advice would be to cast Josh Brolin as Batman even though he played Jonah Hex.
Hey, All am gonna say is that Affleck is not the man for the job, he won't even look good in Batman's costume. You guys just Keep Bale, he's much more better than Affleck
Wow, i can't wait till July 17 next year, and i hope Ben acts My Hero(BATMAN) well
@ roadrunner 131 Christopher Reeve played Superman and probably the best of my time however if mr. Affleck was casted as Superman he may have been too
Affleck would b better superman batman too serious
Of a personality to be played by him…good luck tho
That does it for me.What a bonehead idea.I will not pay a penny to see Affleck as The Batman!
Can we see Jennifer Garner as cat woman or as batmans new love interest?!
What about Christopher Reeve? Someone didn't complete their research like a good journalist
Sure, Christopher Reeve's Batman was good but Jane Fonda's Batman was just as good. Forgetting Val Kilmer was kind of cruel though.
In the morning we'll all find out that Variety picked up this Ben Afflack is Batman story from the Onion and there'll be much laughing and getting on with our lives.
George Zimmerman should be the next Batman.
Christopher Reeve was never Batman. JEEEESH!
I hope that Greg Silverman sees this comment! You are fucking stupid and all your staff for picking Affleck for the role of Batman, i can write here a lot of swears but i'm just gonna say this: I hope this shit you pulled with Affleck will end your carrier! Christian Bale was the best one for the role, i know that you will say, where was Superman when Bane was destroying Gotham, but you could say that he was an another planet or some shit…
In the end i would just like to say that i'm NOT going to see the movie, im gonna wait for the DVD, i'm NOT gonna buy the DVD, i will just download it for FREE, i'm not gonna put my money in your pocket to see a stupid actor in the role of a superhero like Batman.
I encourage people to pirate this movie: My brothers, DO NOT go to this movie! Only then they will do what we want, they will see what mistake they made!
I don't give a fuck, they can sue me!
Every one who goes to see this movie in the cinema is stupid and is encouraging their behavior and putting money in their pockets and making them rich so they can make stupid ass movies!
Thanks for Man of steel and Dark Knight trilogy, those were really good movies, but this one with Affleck is gonna suck! WB will not get any money from me!
I know some jokers will say "Put Affleck in the role of Batman….and everyone looses their mind" but is fucked up!
Haha, very funny you clever little troll. You have to be joking to say something so utterly stupid like that. Seriously, go fuck yourself.
You missed that one : you should have said : ' Argo fuck yourself ' !

Collaborative Futures 2nd Edition
"As new technologies come into play, people become less and less convinced of the importance of self expression. Teamwork succeeds private effort."
—Marshall McLuhan
Despite these words, the true nature of collaborative culture as a form of creative expression in the context of digital and network technologies has remained elusive, a buzzword often falling prey to corporate and ideological interests. This book was first created by 6 core collaborators, as an experimental five day Book Sprint in January 2010. Developed under the aegis of transmediale.10, this third publication in the festival's parcours series resulted in the initiation of a new vocabulary on the forms, media and goals of collaborative practice.
In June 2010, the book was rewritten as a part of the Re:Group exhibition at Eyebeam, NY. This second edition invited three new collaborators to challenge the free culture sentiment underlying the original writing. The result is a deliberately multi-voiced tone pondering the merits and shortcomings of this new emerging ideology.

The Day Ahead: You're Welcome
I will neither confirm, nor deny that episodic content from World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) finds its way onto my non-iTV twice a week. What I will simply acknowledge is that there is a relatively new character on the wrestling scene that goes by the name of Damien Sandow. This Macho Man Randy Savage lookalike supposedly is the "intellectual savior of the unwashed masses," and after running off at the mouth with his infinite wisdom, tells the booing crowd rather matter of factly: "you're welcome."
I am intrigued by his uncanny (scripted) ability to sound uber confident through the use of concise lines of reasoning. I labeled last week "stall week" for risk asset markets for a purpose, that purpose being there was a break in the hyper intensity of the upward advance. So far this week, all that has been affirmed is that we are now shifting into a mini transition to less certain sessions. ...382 more words left in this article.

Topic: Bitter melon? And anti-oxidants ? Can you take it during chemotherapy
Dear all,
My father is finally starting chemotherapy tomorrow (gem/cisplatin plus panitumumab). I really hope he tolerates it well and he responds for a long time.
I have read the posts about bitter melon (everything counts!) and am wondering if it is ok to take everyday during chemotherapy?
I know that many oncologists don't like anti- oxidants during chemotherapy either. Any feedback from people here?
Wish us luck!

Glendale, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Antoine Vermette scored the winner in the shootout as the Phoenix Coyotes rallied for a 4-3 win over the Washington Capitals.
Vermette buried the first shot of the shootout past Michal Neuvirth and Mikhail Grabovski lost control of the puck making a move. Mikkel Boedker then flew down the ice and deked to the backhand before lifting it high into the net, and Alex Ovechkin missed his chance to give Phoenix the win.
Shane Doan scored twice and Lauri Korpikoski also scored for the Coyotes, who have won six of their last seven, including four straight wins in the shootout. Mike Smith made 29 stops in the win.
"Smitty made some big saves in the third to keep us in the game," Doan said of his goaltender.
Troy Brouwer, Joel Ward and John Carlson all scored for the Capitals, who had won a season-high four straight coming in. Neuvirth stopped 32 shots in the loss.
"This one slipped away from us," Carlson said. "It's unacceptable."
Phoenix trailed by two goals later in the game, but got one back with 3:26 to play as a shot on net from the left boards by Vermette was stopped, but Korpikoski was in the slot to backhand home the rebound as he was falling to the ice.
With 2:01 to play, Nate Schmidt was called for delay of game as his clearing attempt went over the glass, and the Coyotes tied the game 15 seconds later as Doan skated to the left circle with the puck and lasered a wrist shot past Neuvirth.
Phoenix scored the first goal of the game while on the power play as Doan picked up a rebound in the slot and shot it home at 9:16 of the first period.
The Capitals tied the game with a power-play goal of their own on Brouwer's blast from the right circle just 38 seconds into the second period.
Just three minutes later, Washington took the lead with another power-play goal on Carlson's one-timer from the slot, and it was a 3-1 game with 3:33 to play in the middle stanza as a broken play saw Ward sweep it in from the left side for his seventh of the season.
Game Notes
Washington plays in Colorado on Sunday ... Phoenix plays at St. Louis on Tuesday ... Washington had won all four of its shootouts this season coming into the game ... Phoenix was 2-for-6 on the power play while Washington went 2-for-7.

Evolution Hoax
There is a magnificent and colorful world in the depths of the ocean. This colorful world astonishes those who explore the intelligent hunting tactics and flawless creations of the living beings of this world. Sea roses and marine snails are among these living beings that live under water and attract attention with their hunting tactics.
Poisonous bullets of anemones
Anemones known as sea rose are invertebrates that hunt by shooting out microscopic poisonous bullets. Since their sense of sight is insufficient, these creatures find their prey via their receivers sensitive to vibrations. They shoot out their poisonous bullets shaped like a capsule at a speed of 2 m per second.
Several experiments have been carried to get to know these methods of anemones that shoot out these capsules with two different methods called chemical and touching. In one of the experiments, a sea rose was placed into a pool and the outer shell of the shrimp was dipped into sugar. Following this, a small quaking strip was made touch the sea rose, to calculate how many bullets, at different sugar densities and vibration frequencies, it shot out.
When there was no sugar, the shooting mechanism operated with a vibration of 55 Hz, and when sugar was added a vibration of 5 Hz was enough to prompt the mechanism. While this living being, which makes this sensitive measurement with the help of the small extensions it has on, is normally sensitive to a frequency of 50 Hz, the outer shell of the shrimp becomes able to sense a value of 5 Hz by extending out its small extensions when a matter containing sugar like chitin layer is located. And this indicated that sea roses also have a structure sensitive to chemical matters. In a short while after the matter containing sugar is determined, the bullet shooting mechanism prompts and shoots the target prey.
Marine Snail that Shoot Out Spears
Conus striatus, which is a form of marine snail, hunts by shooting out spears. The snail shots the clownfish by throwing its 1,5 mm spear out of its suction pipe. The nervous system of the fish becomes paralyzed and in that moment the snail swallows the fish. Marine snails, which have many different types, can also be big in size like the speared marine snail that is 15 cm in height. Such a snail holds 50 spears in its body ready to throw any moment. These poisonous spears are held in the room called the poison sac outside the body and a new spear is produced to replace the one used.
No doubt that it is Allah Who inspires the hunting techniques created in such detail, the bodily features enabling them to use these techniques and the effect of the substance shot at the other party, to the sea roses and marine snails that live in deeps of the ocean, and Who creates them and everything in the universe. The oceans are merely one of the examples of Allah's infinite power of Creation. The Almighty Allah reveals that He surrounds everywhere with His Wisdom in one verse:
"The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them but Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and nothing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book." (Al-An'am, 59)

High temperature stress is usually associated with drought. Heat stress and drought intensify damage to corn and soybeans but either one may cause major crop injury alone. The recent high temperatures, i.e., record numbers of days above 90 degrees, and in some locales 100 degrees F, have generated questions about the impact of high temperatures on corn and soybeans. How much heat stress can these crops withstand without incurring major yield losses even when adequate soil moisture is available?
Corn originated as a tropical grass and can tolerate exposures to adverse temperatures as high as 112 degrees F for brief periods. Optimal daytime temperatures for corn typically range between 77 degrees F and 91 degrees F. Growth decreases when temperatures exceed 95 degrees F. Fortunately, the high temperatures during the past week have been associated with some much needed rains across the state.
How high is too high for corn? Emerson Nafziger, Ph.D., University of Illinois agronomist notes that "afternoon temperatures in the mid-90s are not a problem for corn ... if they have enough soil water available. … plant temperatures have been raised to 110 or higher without doing direct damage to photosynthetic capacity. The level required to damage leaves depends on the temperature the leaf has experienced before, but it generally takes temperatures above 100 in field-grown plants."
According to Iowa State University agronomist Roger Elmore and climatologist Elwynn Taylor, high temperatures may have a double impact on corn "The first is the increase in rolling of corn leaves in response to moisture deficiency. By rule-of-thumb, the yield is diminished by 1 percent for every 12 hours of leaf rolling - except during the week of silking when the yield is cut 1 percent per 4 hours of leaf rolling. … The second impact is less obvious initially. When soil moisture is sufficient, as it is for the most part this July, the crop does not have a measurable yield response to one day of temperatures between 93F to 98 F. However, the fourth consecutive day with a maximum temperature of 93 F or above results in a 1 percent yield loss in addition to that computed from the leaf rolling. The fifth day there is an additional 2 percent loss; the sixth day an additional 4 percent loss. Data are not sufficient to make generalizations for a heat wave of more than six days, however firing of leaves then becomes likely and very large yield losses are incurred. Generally a six-day heat wave at silking time is sufficient to assure a yield not to exceed trend (Iowa trend yield is near 174 bushels per acre). Should warmer than usual nights continue for a six-week period the state is assured a below trend harvest…"
What is the ideal temperature for soybeans? Soybeans are a temperate leguminous plant with an ideal daytime temperature of 85°F. When air temperatures exceed 85°F, soybeans can experience heat stress regardless of reproductive stage. When soybeans experience heat stress, yield reductions can begin to occur, especially when soil moisture is limiting. Heat stress during flowering can result in pollen sterility and reduced seed set. Temperatures exceeding 85°F can result in a decreased number of pods while temperatures above 99°F severely limit pod formation. Heat stress at the R5 growth stage (beginning seed), has the greatest impact on soybean yield. During seed fill, daytime temperatures of 91 to 96°F result in fewer seeds per plant. Daytime temperatures greater than 85°F during seed fill can result in decreased soybean weight.
How do high nighttime temperatures affect corn and soybean production? High nighttime temperatures (in the 70s or 80s) can result in wasteful respiration and a lower net amount of dry matter accumulation in plants. The rate of respiration of plants increases rapidly as the temperature increases, approximately doubling for each 13 degree F increase. With high night temperatures more of the sugars produced by photosynthesis during the day are lost; less is available to fill developing kernels or seeds, thereby lowering potential grain yield. High night time temperatures result in faster heat unit (GDD) accumulation that can lead to earlier corn maturation, whereas cool night temperatures result in slower GDD accumulation that can lengthen grain filling and promote greater dry matter accumulation and grain yields.
Past research at the University of Illinois indicates that corn grown at night temperatures in the mid-60s out yields corn grown at temperatures in the mid-80s. Corn yields are often higher with irrigation in western states, which have low humidity and limited rainfall. While these areas are characterized by hot sunny days, night temperatures are often cooler than in the Eastern Corn Belt. Low night temperatures during grain fill have been associated with some of Ohio's highest corn yields in past years. In 2009, when the highest corn average yield to date was achieved, 174 bu/A, Ohio experienced one of its coolest Julys on record. The cool night temperatures may have reduced respiration losses during early grain fill and lengthened the grain fill period.
Compared to corn, soybeans are less sensitive to high nighttime temperatures. Warm night temperatures do not appear to increase respiration in soybean plants as much as corn. During the day, soybean plants accumulate starch in their leaves. At night, the starch is broken down and exported from their leaves. When nights are cool, the amount of starch exported is reduced resulting in high leaf starch the following day which can disrupt photosynthesis. Nighttime temperatures have to exceed 85°F before any noticeable reduction in soybean yield is experienced. In an experiment conducted by the USDA, soybean plants subjected to a night temperature of 85°F resulted in a 10% yield loss. Corn subjected to 85°F at night experienced grain yield reductions of 40%.
How is soybean nodulation affected by high temperatures? Soybean nodulation is influenced by temperature. Greatest nodule weight and nitrogen fixation (the conversion of gaseous nitrogen to plant-available nitrogen) has been found to occur when soil temperature is 75°F. When soil temperature exceeds 86°F, nodule initiation and growth decreases. According to the OARDC Weather System (http://www.oardc.ohio-state.edu/newweather/default.asp), maximum soil temperatures ranging from 79 to 89°F in the top four inches of soil have been recorded for July. Under a soybean canopy, soil temperatures may be lower. However, in fields where canopy closure has not yet occurred, high soil temperatures may result in decreased nodulation and nitrogen fixation. Applying nitrogen fertilizer to nitrogen-stressed soybeans can increase yield in some cases, but this practice is not without risks (see this source). Applying urea forms of nitrogen to warm, damp soils results in nitrogen loss as a gas (volatilization). Additionally, if dry weather persists, the nitrogen may not be moved down into the soil and be accessible to the soybean roots.

Mayor Rob Ford and Councillor Joe Mihevc agreed on one thing this week.
That may not sound like news but watching City Hall over the last year, trust me, it is.
Mihevc, an NDPer, is a vocal Ford critic currently fighting tooth and nail against the right-leaning mayor's transit plan. The former TTC vice-chairman blitzed Ford this week in a bid to revive Transit City.
But, despite their different political teams, the two both like football.
Ford and Mihevc play the City Hall football pool together. This year, much to Ford's frustration and Mihevc's glee, the Ward 21, St. Paul's councillor has been sacking the mayor when it comes to football picks.
So ahead of Super Bowl weekend I was surprised to find that Ford and Mihevc agree on something, they both believe the New York Giants will win the game.
(OK so this isn't a new transit compromise they both agreeing to but c'mon, it's Friday)
Mihevc was surprised to hear Ford is also picking the Giants over the New England Patriots to win Sunday.
"We'll split the winnings," Mihevc shrugged Thursday.
Then I told him Councillor Doug Ford, the mayor's brother, is picking the Patriots.
"They're hedging their bets!" Mihevc said.
Just when you thought we had some agreement at City Hall.

Eye and Ear provides family-centered care to children with JRRP. It is one of several treatment centers in the country that uses KTP lasers and an Avastin (bevacizumab) protocol. Mass. Eye and Ear has established a team approach in which the physicians, nurses, child life specialists, social workers, speech therapists, parents, care givers, etc. work together for the care of the patient. Education is an integral part of the treatment plan in helping patients and family members come to terms with the disease. Acknowledgements: Many thanks to Dr. Vandana Madhavan of the Pediatric Infectious Disease division of the Massachusetts General Hospital for Children for her critical read and input of this section regarding the infectious nature of JRRP. Also, please see RRP Foundation for more information. Collapse AllExpand All What is JRRP and who is at risk? JRRP stands for Juvenile Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis. JRRP is a condition that causes the growth of viral papilloma (warts) on the surface of the respiratory tract. Papillomata may occur anywhere in the respiratory tract (nose, throat, or lungs) but mostly affect the larynx (voice box). The growths may vary in size and often grow very quickly. Papillomata in the larynx are benign (not cancerous) and can be managed with periodic surgical intervention. There is no cure for JRRP. JRRP is caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). This virus is very common and there are more than 100 different strains. Many people have been infected with this virus, even if they do not have symptoms. Different strains can cause different types of illness. HPV is most familiarly associated with cutaneous warts on the hands or feet, genital warts, and cervical cancer. There are two strains of HPV that cause JRRP: 6 and 11, with 11 typically causing more severe disease. Risk factors include being a firstborn child, children born to mothers younger than 20 years of age, and children born to mothers with active genital warts during pregnancy who deliver vaginally. Parents should check with obstetricians or midwives with questions. JRRP affects males and females equally, and the average age of diagnosis is 3.8 years of age. However, this does not exclude patients that are younger or older than 3.8 yrs. The incidence in the United States is estimated at 4.3 per 100,000 children and 1.8 per 100,000 adults. Age may be more indicative of prognosis than HPV type: children who develop the disease earlier in life often have worse prognoses. In children older than 5 years of age who are diagnosed with respiratory papillomatosis, sexual abuse should be considered. Diagnosis of JRRP JRRP is a pediatric disease. Patients with JRRP are often initially diagnosed with one or more of the following signs and symptoms: Stridor (noisy breathing) Chronic cough Failure to thrive Shortness of breath Snoring Croup Asthma Difficulty speaking (Dysphonia) Aphonia (loss of voice) Hoarseness Laryngomalacia It is critically important to recognize the symptoms of JRRP before potential life threatening obstruction develops from the papillomata. JRRP is diagnosed first by symptoms, and then either by viewing the larynx in the office with a scope or by taking the child to the operating room to inspect the airway while the child is asleep under anesthesia. The only way to absolutely confirm JRRP is by a biopsy. Is JRRP Contagious Peer to Peer? No. Children cannot catch JRRP (or HPV) by playing with each other or by sharing utensils. Siblings cannot be infected through regular household contact. Treatment The goal in treatment is to clear the airway of papillomata and to prevent or reduce the occurrence of new papillomata. Surgical interventions include a debulking procedure to reduce papillomata, using a potassium titanyl phosphate (HTP) laser, carbon dioxide (C02) laser, microdebrider, or pulse dye laser (PDL). A child's physician may also prescribe an antivirial medication, especially for children who require more than four surgical treatments a year. Please click here for additional information on treatment options Prevention There are two vaccines currently approved and available in the US to prevent HPV, the virus that causes JRRP. Gardasil is a quadrivalent vaccine providing protection against HPV types 6, 11, 16 and 18. Types 6 and 11 are most associated with genital warts and 16 and 18 with cervical cancer. Cervarix is a bivalent vaccine containing only types 16 and 18. Although Gardasil does contain types 6 and 11, the ones associated with JRRP, the vaccine is approved for people 9-26 years of age. The recommendation is for both boys and girls to get vaccinated with the 3 required doses at age 11 or 12. Infants and young children could not be protected directly, but may be if their mothers were vaccinated as children/young adults prior to HPV infection.

Orioles option two to Triple-A, reassign two
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- The Orioles' roster continued to take shape on Wednesday, with the club optioning Henry Urrutia and Steve Johnson to Triple-A Norfolk and reassigning outfielder Quintin Berry and infielder Alexi Casilla to Minor League camp after the game against the Red Sox.
The O's now have 36 players at Major League camp, including four non-roster invitees, in advance of Sunday's deadline to set the 25-man roster.
Casilla was competing for the second-base job and was also considered the front-runner for the utility job entering camp. But a pair of injuries kept him sidelined most of spring, and the club will now decide between Jemile Weeks, Jonathan Schoop and Steve Lombardozzi for both the second-base job and the utility spot. Ryan Flaherty will move to third base, with Manny Machado starting the season on the disabled list.
Can Schoop, the organization's top position player prospect, make the club as a bench guy, or is he looked at as a starter only?
"I think he can do both," manager Buck Showalter said. "Obviously, he probably starts at one position down at Norfolk, though he's capable of moving around. I feel comfortable with him at third or second, and he'll play a lot of short. That's why we try not to have guys in the Minor Leagues play one position in the infield, unless they're first basemen.
"I've got a pretty good idea of which way we're going to go."
Casilla will play shortstop at Triple-A Norfolk. Johnson, who will be part of Norfolk's rotation, pitched a scoreless inning in Wednesday afternoon's win against the Red Sox and allowed six earned runs over 10 innings this spring. Berry, part of a crowded outfield mix, went 8-for-35 in 22 games, with two doubles, a triple and five RBIs.
Showalter praised Urrutia for his improvement from a year ago.
"Keep in mind that last spring, we didn't know much about this guy," Showalter said of Urrutia, who got a late start in camp after defecting from Cuba. "Put yourself in where he was in his life, come on. I don't know if he's been this much defensively, but he's a lot better than the first time we saw him. He started playing [better] in the [Arizona] Fall League."

Making The Film
Using The Film
The Shakers
The Shakers are America's oldest and most successful experiment in communal living. A century ago, nearly 6,000 Shaker brothers and sisters lived together in nineteen communities scattered from Maine to Kentucky. This film traces the growth, decline, and continuing survival of this remarkable and influential religious sect through the memories and rich song traditions of Shakers themselves. It includes performances by the late Eldress Marguerite Frost of Canterbury, New Hampshire, and the late Sister R. Mildred Barker, a leading singer and spiritual leader of the Shaker community still active at Sabbathday Lake, Maine when the film was made.
For an account of how the film was made and for contextual materials on the song tradition and gift painting tradition, we highly recommend the essays recently posted by Shaker scholar Daniel Patterson. This work was part of a 2006 grant from the Folk Arts division of the National Endowment for the Arts.
...the definitive film on the Shaker movement.
