Back to the workshopNov. 13th, 2013 08:52 am
My practical classes in carpentry started again last night, after a five-month break.
Back to cutting tenons and mortises, with a new teacher, who I think I am going to like. 30 years' in the trade. First thing I learn is how to stand correctly when cutting a mortise – have the piece perpendicular to the side of the bench and check its angle with a square. The previous teacher didn't tell us this, and we were cutting askew. The mechanics of joints is slowly sinking in – the way rebates (1/3; ½ and 2/3), grooves and mouldings affect the shape of the tenon and the mortise - but it is logic which does not come easily.
The old group has split in half, most going to cabinet-making, me to joinery/carpentry. It was a difficult choice, but I saw myself more in need of being able to repair a window frame and make a staircase (I need to do two in the house) than to repair Louis XV furniture. We are now merged another group which has split similarly, with new names to learn.
Apart from the sheer pleasure of playing with wood (my grandfather was a joiner, so it's in the blood), this – and the parallel technical drawing class – are almost the only place where I come into contact with 'normal' Belgians, especially of the next generation, outside the church and Russian diaspora context. Though 'Normal Belgium' may be a moot word in today's Brussels: I doubt whether half the class has four Belgian grandparents. It is also the first time I find myself working alongside Muslims.

Over the past two years, the Willy Street Chamber Players have sure caught on.
That's little wonder because they consistently turn in must-hear, top-quality performances with accessible but innovative programs that mix old and new works in a shorter-than-usual format. For all those reasons, The Ear named them Musicians of the Year for 2016.
This season The Willys have already performed a preview winter concert and a spring community concert at Warner Park. Then earlier this spring and summer, they warmed up, so to speak, by opening the Rural Musicians Forum season in Spring Green and then also played at the Marquette Waterfront Festival.
This Friday at 6 p.m. the Willys will open the three-concert regular summer season of 2017.
Here is an announcement:
"The Willy Street Chamber Players will begin their third annual Summer Series this Friday night, July 7, at 6 p.m. Join these energetic young chamber musicians for an exciting concert that has something for everyone.
"The concert will begin with two short works: "Amazing Grace" by contemporary American composer, and Pulitzer Prize winner, Jennifer Higdon (below) and the delightful "Italian Serenade" by Hugo Wolf.
The special guest will be violinist Suzanne Beia – who performs with the UW-Madison Pro Arte Quartet and is also concertmaster of the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra and assistant concertmaster with the Madison Symphony Orchestra. Beia (below) will join the group in a performance of the gorgeous String Sextet No. 2 in G major by Johannes Brahms. (You can hear the Shanghai Quartet, performing live in Tokyo, play the second and third movements in the YouTube video at the bottom.)
"All this will take place in the beautiful sanctuary (below) of Immanuel Lutheran Church, on Lake Monona at 1021 Spaight Street.
"The concert will run about 80 minutes.
"It will be followed by a reception where guests can meet the musicians and share snacks provided by Festival Foods Madison and Let It Ride Cold Brew Coffee.
"Tickets are $15 and additional information about the group and its upcoming performances — including reviews and a schedule of the Community Connect series as well as a concert at Allen Centennial Gardens — can be found at www.willystreetchamberplayers.org."
And here is a post with more details about this summer's concerts:

Here is a special posting, an interview with the Madison Symphony Orchestra's music director John DeMain about the next season, conducted and written by frequent guest critic and writer for this blog John W. Barker.
Barker (below) is an emeritus professor of Medieval history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He also is a well-known classical music critic who writes for Isthmus and the American Record Guide, and who hosts an early music show once a month on Sunday morning on WORT FM 89.9 FM. For years, he served on the Board of Advisors for the Madison Early Music Festival and frequently gives pre-concert lectures in Madison.
By John W. Barker
Last month, I had a welcome opportunity to sit down with John DeMain (below, in a photo by Prasad), music director of the Madison Symphony Orchestra, together with his marketing director, Peter Rodgers, to discuss the orchestra's recently announced 2017-18 concert season. (NOTE: Today is the deadline for current subscribers to renew and keep their seats. You can call 608 257-3734 or go to https://www.madisonsymphony.org/reneworder)
This meeting allowed me new insights into the various factors that go into selecting a season's repertoire. It also gave me further appreciation of Maestro DeMain's personality and talents.
It further revealed the unfairness of some criticism made that the coming season is "conservative" and repetitive of familiar works. In fact, his programming involves very thoughtful awareness of the differing expectations of the varied audience.
It has become customary to make the season's opening concert a showcase for talented members of the orchestra, rather than for guest soloists.
The September program thus offers a masterpiece I particularly relish, Hector Berlioz's Harold in Italy, a symphony with viola obbligato — featuring the orchestra's principal violist, Chris Dozoryst (below).
But the inclusion of the neglected Fifth or "Reformation" Symphony by Felix Mendelssohn was decided as a link to this year's 500th-anniversary commemoration of Martin Luther's launching of the Lutheran Reformation in 1517. Also on the program is Leopold Stokowski's orchestral arrangement of the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor for organ by Johann Sebastian Bach.
The October program contains a notable example of a familiar and popular "warhorse," Antonin Dvorak's Symphony No. 9, "From the New World." This was indeed performed by the MSO two seasons back as part of the "Beyond the Score" presentations. DeMain indicates that the close repetition is made deliberately to connect with that past event, to expand further the audiences' understanding of the work.
He is also juxtaposing the symphony with the appearance of the acclaimed Olga Kern (below), playing the Piano Concerto by Samuel Barber and with the "Mother Goose" Suite by Maurice Ravel.
The November soloist is guitarist Sharon Isbin, in two concertos, one new ("Affinity" by Chris Brubeck) and one old (Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquin Rodrigo) She plays with her instrument electronically amplified, something very off-putting in my experience. But DeMain notes that all guitarists do that now in concert work, and he wanted to include the guitar to bring in new and different audience members.
Inclusion of suites by Aaron Copland and Manuel de Falla – "Billy the Kid" and "The Three-Cornered Hat," respectively — also represent popular appeal.
January will bring a triumph for DeMain: the appearance of violinist Gil Shaham (below), after 15 years of efforts to secure him. Shaham will perform the Violin Concerto by Peter Tchaikovsky.
The all-Russian program also allows DeMain to venture for the first time into "The Love for Three Oranges" suite by Sergei Prokofiev and the Third Symphony of Sergei Rachmaninoff.
The issue of "warhorse" repetition is raised by the First Symphony by Johannes Brahms in the February program. But DeMain points out that it has been 10 years since the MSO played the work, a significant one that richly deserves performance by now.
He is also proud to include with it the outstanding Rossini opera overture (Semiramide) and the rarely heard Cello Concerto, with German cellist Alban Gerhardt (below), by the 20th-century British composer William Walton.
DeMain admits to mixed feelings about the "Beyond the Score" presentations of music and background context, but he is confident that the one offered (one night, outside subscriptions) on March 18, about the monumental Enigma Variations, by Sir Edward Elgar, (below) will work well.
The combination in April of Benjamin Britten's powerful Sinfonia da Requiem and Robert Schumann's First Symphony ("Spring") with Antonin Dvorak's sadly neglected Violin Concerto has special meanings for the maestro. It allows the return of the greatly admired Augustin Hadelich (below) as soloist.
But it also allows DeMain's return, for his first time since 1974, to the Schumann score, with which he had a crucial encounter in a youthful appearance with the Pittsburgh Symphony.
Finally, the May program is an unusually exciting combination of Mozart's too-little-appreciated Piano Concerto No. 22 with soloist Christopher O'Riley (below) of NPR's "From the Top" with the roof-raising Glagolitic Mass, featuring the Madison Symphony Chorus, of Leos Janacek.
DeMain has made important commitments to the orchestral music of Janacek (below) before this, and his advance to the composer's great blockbuster choral work is a landmark.
Amid savoring DeMain's thoughts on the season – which also includes the MSO's traditional Christmas concert in early December — and his wonderful recollections of past experiences, I came to recognize more than ever the remarkable combination of talents he brings to his Madison podium.
Beyond so many conductors, DeMain has had deeply engaging phases of his career in orchestral literature (large and small), in opera and musical theater, and in chamber music, while being himself an accomplished pianist.
With the breadth of his range, he brings a particular sensitivity to the contexts and diversities of what he conducts. He has become to his musicians not only a skilled guide, but also a subtle teacher, deepening their understanding without any hint of pedantry.
It cannot be said enough how truly blessed we are to have him with us in Madison.

Has March's proverbial lion finally yielded to the lamb?
Here is Madison there is still some snow on the ground. But it should all be gone by the end of today, which, like yesterday, will reach into the 50s.
Just in time.
Today is the Vernal Equinox, bringing the first day of spring. It arrives at 5:29 a.m. this morning.
Spring has been an inspiration to many composers. So there is a lot of music to choose from when you want to celebrate season musically.
The Ear is fickle and his choice changes from year to year.
But lately, his favorite has been the "Spring" Sonata in F Major for violin and piano by Ludwig van Beethoven. (You can hear the opening of the famously tuneful and upbeat sonata, performed by violinist Itzhak Perlman and pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy, in the YouTube video at the bottom.)
Of course there are violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi and Arcangelo Corelli; choral works by Johann Sebastian Bach and Franz Joseph Haydn; chamber music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; orchestral music by Robert Schumann, Peter Tchaikovsky and Igor Stravinsky; piano pieces by Felix Mendelssohn and Edvard Grieg; songs by Franz Schubert and Johannes Brahms. And there is more, so much more.
Yesterday, Wisconsin Public Radio programmed a lot of spring music, and The Ear expects the same for today's programming.
But you can be your own DJ if you want. Here is a list of almost two hours of spring-related music:
And here is a springtime puzzler, or quiz, about flowers in opera from NPR or National Public Radio:
Plus, there are plenty of other guides and anthologies to music for spring that you can find online.
So here is what The Ear wants to know: What is your favorite piece of music to greet spring with?
Leave words in the COMMENT section along with a link to a YouTube performance if possible.
And a Happy Spring to you!
ALERT: Today is ELECTION DAY. Be sure to vote. Then leave a COMMENT and maybe a YouTube link telling The Ear what piece of classical music should be played for the new president-elect — Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton.

The Ear has received the following announcement:
This weekend, the Madison Symphony Orchestra (MSO, below), with music director John DeMain conducting, performs two early 20th-century works. One is neglected and rarely performed while the other one is considered a powerful masterpiece,.
Madison's very own Christina and Michelle Naughton (below) also return, for a performance of the witty and energetic Concerto for Two Pianos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The concert begins with Le Printemps ("Spring") by Claude Debussy, an Impressionist ode to the living.
The Naughton twins then perform the lyrical Mozart's Concerto for Two Pianos, followed by a performance of the Symphony No. 5 by Dmitri Shostakovich. It showcases the composer's artistic triumph over the forces of Soviet repression. This is also the piece conductor John DeMain (below, in a photo by Prasad) conducted for his impressive audition here over two decades ago.
The concerts are in Overture Hall of the Overture Center, 201 State Street, on Friday night, Nov. 11, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday night, Nov. 12 at 8 p.m.; and Sunday afternoon, Nov. 13, at 2:30 p.m.
An early version of Debussy's Le Printemps was actually lost in a fire. The piece, originally written in Rome in 1886-87, premiered in Paris in 1913. Upon writing the score, Debussy (below) wrote to a friend, "…I'm calling it Printemps, not 'spring' from the descriptive point of view but from that of living things."
The Naughtons will then play Mozart's Concerto for Two Pianos. This piece, which is said to have been a favorite of Mozart (below, with his sister), was originally written for himself and his sister Maria Anna, nicknamed "Nannerl," to perform. (The concerto was featured in the soundtrack to the Academy Award-Winning film "Amadeus" and you can hear the last movement in the YouTube video at the bottom.)
This is the first time this piece will be performed by the MSO. The listener will be able to imagine a smile, or at least a sly wink from Mozart to Maria Anna hidden within the harmonic score.
Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 was originally completed in 1937. This will be the third time this piece has been performed by the MSO.
The Soviet Union oddly enough was a major influence for this work. In 1933 a doctrine was released, which was intended to control the content and style of Soviet literature and other various forms of art, including music. Soviet music was hence used to serve the propaganda needs of the state.
Symphony No. 5, which the composer subtitled "The practical answer of a Soviet artist to criticism," is a composition that was written to save Shostakovich (below) from imprisonment. You can hear the personal anxiety of an artist being controlled by the State in this historic symphony.
One hour before each performance, Anders Yocom (below), Wisconsin Public Radio Host, will lead a 30-minute Prelude Discussion in Overture Hall to enhance concertgoers' understanding and listening experience.
For more background on the music, visit the Program Notes by MSO trombonist and UW-Whitewater professor Michael Allsen at: http://www.allsenmusic.com/NOTES/1617/3.Nov16.html
Single Tickets are $16 to $87 each, available online at madisonsymphony.org/naughtons, in person at the Overture Center Box Office, 201 State Street, or by calling the Box Office at (608) 258-4141.

Description: Finnegans Wake (KY) B , H, foaled April 24, 2009 (Powerscourt (GB) - Boat's Ghost, by Silver Ghost) get his first Grade I victory win a come from last to first finish in the 9 furlong $500K Woodford Reserve Turf Classic over firm going at Churchill Downs May 2, 2015. Regular rider Victor Espinoza let Finnegans Wake run along far back early as Sky Captain went on to set the pace. Sky Captain was joined by Umgiyo around the Clubhouse turn and Chocolate Ride who broke tardily went up to chase them from 3rd. As they traveled up the back stretch Jack Milton was coming along nicely along the rail in 4th and he angled to the outside as they entered the far turn. Seek Again moved into contention around that turn along the inside and found a seam between horses to make a bid for the lead at the top of the stretch. Finnegans Wake was coming fast and swung to the far outside for the stretch drive. Sky Captain still had the lead in deep stretch, Seek Again was surging between horses, Jack Milton was moving well outside of those three, and Finnegans Wake was flying late on the outside. It was Finnegans Wake with his head down at the wire to get the win by head over Sky Captain. It was a length back to Jack Milton in third and Seek Again was a length further back in fourth. However, Sky Captain came over on Seek Again and was disqualified and placed fourth. Finnegans Wake is now 7-4-3 from 29 starts and he has earned $1,402,975.

text: I'm working on a new build and got most of my parts already but I need my optical drives. I will be using the DVD to watch movies and play games, etc... so I want a good drive to do it. I went all out on a Radeon 9800 Pro so I wan't maximum performance for the $$$. I have heard the Pioneer, Lite-On, and Sony drives are good. Is this still the case? Also looking into DVD-R/+R drives. I have never owned one and want to know what's good. With this drive I don't need the best, just something reliable and good quality. Any recommendations for me?

My not so pastel 'vintage comfort' quilt got the extra border treatment today. I'm using Judy Newman's pattern from her new book here and I tossed up for a while about making my version in soft pastels too. But I've seen some other inspiring colour combos over on instgram lately - see here, here, and here . And, I'm a bit fan of the modern way Sheena Chapman uses vintage fabrics, see here too, so I decided to be a bit adventurous, à la Sheena!
However, the other thing that also determines the direction of most of my projects is what I actually have on hand in my stash at the time. Which in turn, makes things a bit touch & go when I need larger amounts of fabric, like today!
I mainly buy fat 1/4's, I figure that's a good way to get variety, and as I'm into scrappy quilts, variety is good. The problem arises when I need larger amounts for borders, backgrounds and dividing strips. e.g. like that red & white microdot background fabric and the wasabi green linen- both of which I ran out of midflight.
Still with this controlled pallette, a crazy mish-mash of old & new fabrics, a playful stripe, and lots of improv piecing, I got there in the end. It's quite a big quilt, approx. 170cms (68") x 200cms (80"), my usual spot on the deck for pics wasn't high enough, but you get the general idea.
Love to hear how you decide just how much fabric to buy?

There once was a dog named Maxie. He wasn't much to look at. His hair was
all shades of brown and black. But he was one of the most lovable pups
anyone could ever have.
Maxie was owned by a pretty little girl named Beth. She loved Maxie very
much. But she lived next door to a girl named Brenda who had a Poodle named
Louie. Louie was a winner of many ribbons at dog shows. He was a purebred
dog with owners papers. The only papers Maxie had were in his litterbox.
Beth thought it would be terrific if Maxie could be in a dog show and win
ribbons But try as she may; she couldn't get Maxie in a dog show.
But the more Beth thought about it the more she thought Louie was a stuck
up, bad tempered dog. So she decided she didn't care about dog shows. Her
Maxie was special in so many ways. So what if he didn't have special papers.
He was always there when she needed a friend. She wouldn't trade him for any
old dog with ribbons. She and Maxie were best friends. Which means a lot

You can beat the Street.

Matterhorn Investment Management will launch an emerging-markets hedge fund focused on Southeast Asia early next year.
The London-based firm aims to raise US$30 million for the vehicle, which will invest primarily in Indonesia and the Philippines. In particular, it will focus on banking, consumer and infrastructure opportunities in the region, The Wall Street Journal reports.
"I have seen absolutely enormous change," Paul Bate, founder of the US$400 million firm, said. "There are a very large number of companies that have very good prospects because it is such an early stage and they have so much more growth to go."
"Valuations are full for the well-known stock," he continued, "but there are plenty of slightly less-well-known stocks where their growth in not priced in."
Bate said government spending on infrastructure and the region's "very strong banking system" are key opportunities.

The dress is really beautiful, I never thought of owning a dress with such a low price. Custom size is really really a good choice. At first I was worried about weather it fits me well or not, and I chose custom size. When I tried it, it fits me perfectly. What's more the fabric is quite comfortable!
