text: DigitalJeff Jarvis on the Relationship Between Google and Authors and PublishersBy Glynnis|December 22, 2008 ShareBy Glynnis|December 22, 2008 Share No one can say with any assurance where the future of publishing lies, but Harper Studio is certainly putting forth a convincing example of how a house might deal with the oncoming changes. Just last week they struck a deal with Borders who has agreed to buy Harper Studio's books on a non returnable basis in exchange for a steeper discount on the purchase price. The HarperCollins imprint is also continually increasing their online presence with their blog The 26th Story, which is how we came across this interview Harper Studio head Bob Miller did with Jeff Jarvis, ostensibly about Jarvis' new book What Would Google Do? but the discussion also turns to the relationship between Google and authors and publishers.

Be Watchful for Fake Male Enlargement Products
Many people question which male enlargement products are fake. It might surprise you that almost every male enlargement product available on the market is a fake.
Men actually spend money on such pills and almost none of them complain about the lack of effects. (more…)

Prince Charles has spoken candidly about how "special" his wife is, in a touching scene from an upcoming documentary about the Queen.
The heir to the throne appears throughout Our Queen, which is broadcast on ITV1 tomorrow and charts the twelve months of her Diamond Jubilee year.
And in one moving passage he praises wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, during an official visit to Papua New Guinea, warmly describing her "down to earth" nature.
On his wife's first visit to the region last year, Prince Charles looks on with pride as she meets local people and dignitaries, and says he hopes the public recognise her qualities.
The Prince turns to the camera and says: "She loved it, and I hope they found out just how special she is.
"And I think they very much responded to her just being jolly good and down to earth."
The couple feature frequently in the two-hour documentary, which gives viewers extraordinary access to the royal family and their lives together.
Other members of the family who speak candidly about their relationship with the Queen include her daughter-in-law Sophie, Countess of Wessex, and Princess Beatrice.
The Prince of Wales' relationship with Camilla first began in 1970 when the pair met at a polo match after being introduced by a mutual friend.
The couple enjoyed a courtship, but it is believed royal advisers and family members thought her an unsuitable match for the heir to the throne, and the Prince was soon posted overseas on military duties.
He is said to have been "heartbroken" after learning of her engagement to Andrew Parker Bowles.
Later the pair rekindled their romance despite Charles being married to Princess Diana, who famously revealed in an interview with Panorama that "there were three of us in this marriage".
The revelations of Charles' adultery made Camilla unpopular and the couple kept a low profile, particularly following the death of Princess Diana in 1997, until they were seen together at a birthday party at London's Ritz Hotel in 1999.
Their engagement was announced in February 2005 and they married on April 9 that year.

Building a successful company requires inspiration to do more than most people expect. It means going the extra mile to serve. All these can be extremely demanding for the entrepreneurs, especially the first timers.
But great entrepreneurs persevere during tough times. They put in more efforts, acquire new skills, build better products/services & do everything in their power to see their dreams come true. The following is a collection of motivational quotes from my book, The Flight of Ambition.
- "Regret is not when you could not finish what you started but regret is when you do not start what you could have finished."
Take action. Don't let fear get in the way of doing things that you truly believe in. You can amaze yourself with what you can achieve when you back yourself.
- "We are all strangers to our hidden potential until we confront problems that reveal our capabilities."
Be positive and believe in yourself. The problems that you face are opportunities for you to make a mark. You have immense ability to build amazing things and create something incredible.
- "Every day is a new beginning to finish something."
Make everyday count. The discipline to get things done every day is crucial to how your company shapes up. Finish what you start and eventually you will have a lot of things to show for your time.
- "You will never be satisfied with anything less than the highest you can attain."
Push yourself to improve every day. You cannot rest on what you've done in the past in business. Satisfaction comes from giving your best and attaining things according to your true potential.
- "Walk where your heart leads you and you will reach where you truly belong."
Trust your instincts and gut feeling. A rich inner life can help you stay focused and clear of all distractions. It gives you the clarity of mind, which is essential to decision making.
- "Your value in the world is the value you create for yourself. Make yourself valuable and the world will treat you that way."
The market rewards people according to the value they bring to the table. Your value is created by your skills, capabilities and solutions to your customers.
- "Even the most terrible beginnings can turn into beautiful endings when the direction is changed."
More often than not things don't work out as per plans. Entrepreneurs gradually find their way to a better idea or sometimes even refine the initial idea. They take a proactive approach and pivot when required.
- "Your time is the most valuable asset with you; invest it, where you get best returns."
As an entrepreneur, you have many tasks that need your attention. But your time & energy is limited. Invest your time in doing the most important & core tasks that will have maximum impact.
- "Discomfort, hard work, struggles and setbacks all are indicative of the fact that you are trying. Triumph begins with a try."
Building a company requires huge commitment. It is a pursuit of lifetime. Be prepared to put in real big efforts and a tough journey before you can triumph.
- "An entrepreneur is someone who empowers & pushes people to attain their highest capabilities."
Building the team needs lot of patience and hardwork. Your job is not to be good to people, but to push them, motivate them and help them get better. Everyone in the team should improve continually and give their best.
- "Your deepest prayers are your sincerest actions. They are always rewarded."
Actions drive entrepreneurs. They are always striving with sincerity, build better products/services, improve customer experience & get things done.
- "The only thing that separates success from failure is one last attempt. Try one more time and you will get lucky."
The difference between success and failure is often one attempt. When you fail, you have to try one more time with better preparation and you can change things around.
- "Let them ridicule you, laugh at you, hurt you & ignore you but never let them stop you."
The naysayers are everywhere. They know everything that is wrong in your life. They will do everything to discourage you, but they don't matter, it is your journey that does. Keep going.
- "To get up when you are down, to fight more intensely when you are struggling; to put in the extra effort when you are in sheer pain, to comeback when nobody expects you to, and to stand tall when everyone is pulling you down are what make a champion"
Perseverance is the hallmark of achievers in any field. When things go wrong, how you react and take control decides your fate. No matter what the situation, back yourself and you will make it.
- "You have all the power you need to build the future that you wish."
It takes lot of toil, setbacks and moments of anguish. But you can create opportunities, improve things and influence lives positively. Entrepreneurs are driven by their dreams and passion to create a future of their imagination.

"Music is so important because it has no purpose. Its only purpose is to remind us as human beings, about the power of our own imagination." -Leon Botstein
UAB has awarded the 2014 Caroline P. and Charles W. Ireland Distinguished Visiting Scholar Prize to Dr. Leon Botstein. The award brings to campus outstanding scholars who are generally recognized as leaders in the arts and sciences. While at UAB, Botstein conducted a special performance of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, at UAB's Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center. Botstein also lectured and met with students and faculty in the UAB College of Arts and Sciences. He spoke with WBHM's Michael Krall and the conversation began with Botstein describing his reaction when he found out he won the prize.
The Lee Family Singers have been singing gospel music in and around Birmingham for more than 40 years. Now six of their offspring have formed a new group, The Second Generation of the Lee Family Singers. Both groups are committed to introducing younger people to music that was created hundreds of years ago, music born out of suffering and hope — the spirituals. For WBHM, Darlene Robinson Millender went to see the Lee Family Singers in action.
Guitar, banjo and harmonica player Willie Watson was a founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show, a popular Nashville-based Americana band. He left in 2011, after almost fifteen years performing with the band. Since then, Watson has been exploring his love of old folk music. His first solo album, "Folk Singer, Vol. 1″ comes out next month. Watson plays Wednesday, April 2, at The Bottletree Cafe.
Callie Courter can't remember when she wasn't writing poetry and singing around the house. The Birmingham native started writing song lyrics while majoring in music at UAB. As a graduation present, her dad financed the production of her first album, called 'Love Is For The Brave.' She now lives in Nashville, where she's chasing her dreams of being a professional musician. Courter sat down with Les Lovoy to tell WBHM about the new album, her first experience in the studio, and her songwriting process.
The Birmingham acoustic quartet features influences from jazz, rock and pop and just released an album of Christmas songs. WBHM's Michael Krall spoke with band members Adam Wright and Chris Griffin and produced this audio postcard. (Note: Click the title bar above for music downloads.)
Singer-songwriter Dar Williams has been compared to Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez but with a bit of an acidic twist. Her ninth studio album is called In The Time of Gods. Williams performs in Birmingham Tuesday night and she spoke with WBHM's Michael Krall.

Your mouth goes through many changes in your lifetime. One major dental milestone is the appearance of your wisdom teeth. Below are some answers to questions you may have when your dentist says it's time to have your wisdom teeth removed.
With age comes wisdom. Specifically, wisdom teeth. Originally called "Teeth of Wisdom" in the 1600s and later "wisdom teeth" by 1848. Wisdom teeth is another name for the third and final set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties, when we're a little older and wiser. Your wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last to emerge in the mouth and are the most common teeth to become impacted. In most people, Wisdom Teeth erupt abnormally or remain impacted. This can happen because a wisdom tooth is turned to the side, tilted, or otherwise positioned incorrectly in the jaw. Wisdom teeth also become impacted when there is not enough room in the jaw or the mouth for them to emerge.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be extracted. When a wisdom tooth erupts cleanly through the tissue without compromising the adjacent tooth, the wisdom tooth can be retained in the mouth with little concern as long as the person is able to brush, floss and clean it thoroughly. There are certain situations, however, where extraction of wisdom teeth is absolutely necessary. The extraction of Wisdom Teeth is necessary when they do not properly erupt into the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum and even remain impacted - trapped beneath the gum and bone. Impacted teeth can take many positions in the bone as they attempt to find a pathway that will allow them to erupt successfully. Poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause problems:
Removal of the offending impacted tooth or teeth usually resolves these problems. Early removal is recommended to avoid future problems and to decrease the surgical risk involved with the procedure. Studies have shown that early evaluation and treatment of Wisdom Teeth result in a superior outcome for the patient. Patients are generally first evaluated in the mid-teenage years by their Dentist or Orthodontist.
With an oral examination and x-rays of the mouth, your dentist can evaluate the position of the Wisdom Teeth and reveal important features such as curved roots, proximity of the tooth roots to nerves, and other vital surgical information that can be determined by visually inspecting the mouth. A complete medical history will also be taken, with particular attention to allergies, medications or health problems that might affect surgery and/or the administration of anesthesia.
All outpatient surgery is performed under appropriate anesthesia to maximize patient comfort. Oral surgeons have specialized training and experience to provide various types of anesthesia for patients to select the best alternative. In most cases, the removal of Wisdom Teeth is performed under IV anesthesia; other options include laughing gas (nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia) or local anesthesia. During your initial evaluation, your Doctor will discuss the type of anesthesia that is most appropriate for you. Anesthesia options as well as any surgical risks will be discussed with you, before the procedure is performed. You can be assured that every effort will be made to minimize your anxiety and discomfort during and after surgery.
You will be given specific post-operative instructions to follow after your surgery is completed. As your mouth heals, your jaw may be sore and may not open as wide as usual. After a few days, moist heat applied to the face may be helpful, and gentle opening and closing of the mouth can help exercise the jaws and restore normal movement. Most patients are able to resume light activities within two days. Vigorous physical activity can generally be resumed in about one week. Call your dentist or orthodontist today to schedule a consultation for your specific dental needs.

WHEN Derek Aldridge started working at the Palace Theatre in London during a university gap year, he knew that a life treading the boards (albeit behind the scenes) was for him.
After being taken on by Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group, he has worked in the box office, sold ice creams, led marketing teams, managed a 1,000 seat venue and now he has joined the Wyvern Theatre as the new theatre director.
"My heart lies with working in the theatre and this was a fantastic opportunity to work with a commercial theatre group, but be able to programme it myself," he said.
"I have targets that I have to meet, but apart from that I'm pretty much left to it.
"My predecessor, Andy Hill, has done an amazing job relaunching the theatre after its closure for a year and I hope to build on that.
"My job is to make sure the programme appeals to as many people as possible and from as wide a distance as possible.
"I have to get out the message that it is easy to get here and easy to park. I want to promote the theatre and the town."
Derek joins the Wyvern team from Cheltenham Town Hall, where he was general manager for three-and-a-half years. Before that he spent six years at the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham as the head of sales and marketing.
But he's no stranger to Swindon. He lives in Cirencester with his wife, Kate, who is a teacher in Covingham, and their three daughters.
"I'm really excited about taking on the role of theatre director at the Wyvern," he said.
"I'm looking forward to getting to know the town much better."
He has nothing but praise for his team and wants people to feel that the programme is developing and that everyone is a part of the theatre.
"Since coming to the Wyvern I've been impressed that promoters and producers really want to play Swindon," he said.
"That is a credit to the technical and front of house staff here at the Wyvern, but also to the town itself.
"There is so much potential here. Because Swindon is an expanding town there is a dynamism that you don't see in a lot of other places.
And Derek is eager to hear what the people of Swindon would like to see at the theatre.
"It will be a while before you see my work, as we obviously have to work quite a way in advance," he said.
"I'm currently working on the spring and summer 2010 programme but would love to hear what sort of things residents in the town would like to see here."
Derek is also keen for the Wyvern to become the heart of the town centre and for the facilities to be put to better use during the day.
"I'm working with a number of businesses, groups and charities to see if we can utilise the theatre more during the day," he said.
"The theatre is traditionally the focal point of the town and I would like to see the Wyvern become that. To start with it's all about making people aware of what we can offer."
If you have any suggestions for the programme, or would like to find out more about using the theatre during the day, email Derek on firstname.lastname@example.com

Pet Travel - Private Plane
There are many reasons why a pet owner would consider a private jet for
traveling with their pet.
SIZE - In today's world of shrinking airline seats, it is getting more and more difficult to take your pet in the cabin of the aircraft. If your best friend is over 15-18 pounds or more than 10-12 inches tall, then it will probably have to fly in the cargo hold (depending on the airline). This section of cargo is pressurized and temperature controlled to be nearly the same as in the cabin, you my be concerned about putting your pet in the cargo hold of a commercial airline.
NUMBER OF PETS TRAVELING WITH YOU - all airlines have limits as to the number of pets in the cabin of the aircraft. Most airlines limit you to one pet per passenger. If you have multiple pets or the pets are traveling unaccompanied, they will need to travel as checked baggage or air cargo.
BREED - many airlines will not accept snub nose breeds such as Bulldogs, Pugs, or Shih-Tzus in the cargo hold as they may develop breathing problems at high altitudes.
SUMMER HEAT EMBARGO - during the summer when temperature exceeds 84 degrees on the runway, most airlines will not accept a pet as checked baggage or air cargo. During the colder months, many airlines require an Acclimation Certificate signed by your veterinarian certifying that your pet can adjust to colder temperatures.
IMMIGRATION REQUIREMENTS - many countries such as the UK, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates, Australia and some countries in Africa will only accept pets as manifested cargo and not in the cabin.
LENGTH OF FLIGHT - During long flights, owners may want to ensure that their pet is hydrated and comfortable. Flying on a private charter will allow the owner to give them that extra attention.
Although private charters can be pricey, they provide assurance that your pet is comfortable and well cared for. Private aircraft can also provide for pets who may need special attention or medication during the flight. You cut costs by being very flexible in your travel plans and fly a "return leg" of a charter. Also, flying with a group can make the ticket more reasonable. Consider a prop aircraft instead of a jet. It takes a little longer and maybe is not quite as grand, but it costs a lot less.
Review the charter company's operating certificate, safety record, and insurance policies. Be sure to ask for references. When you get them, be sure and call to ask about the experience the traveler had with the company. Was their adequate space for their pet? Was the flight on time? Was the crew helpful and friendly? What are their methods to safeguard your pet?
It is very important to be very specific with the policies of the charter service when transporting your pet. Last minute surprises are not what you need when traveling with a pet.
We would recommend PriorityOne Jet Charters as they are a worldwide company that has many pet friendly jets available for you and your pet to travel worldwide.

Everyday Adventurer Karen Guttridge – A Giant's Playground, Dr Who and Injured Pride
On another glorious sunny day I set forth again on The Purbeck Way to hug the 12 miles of coastline between Ballard's Down and Chapman's pool. I jiggled the route a bit as I wanted to also head inland to Worth Matravers towards the renowned pasties of the Square and Compass about which a visitor had commented "Nice pint and pasty was fine, but could have lived without chickens jumping on the table".
Unsurprisingly, this coastal stretch is often littered with photographers. Literally. Lying at all angles vying for that elusive shot. I stopped for a chat on this Tripod Trail and picked up some great photography tips. Who knew that photography was a sport? Positioning yourself in anticipation of the next "move" about to take place is critical; but it can also be a bit of a hit and miss affair. You need to understand the nature of the game.
I knew that some poor soul had tumbled from these cliffs a few years ago and I have to say that the path does occasionally skirt alarmingly close to the edge. A sprightly local walking my way advised me to "try not to look over the top". Righto.
Drinking in the constantly stunning views induces a strange sort of apathy. Funny how quickly you come to expect and take for granted that another corker will be awaiting over each hill and around each corner.
Stopping for more cake (fat and sugar rule – eat lots) at Winspit I peered down at the quarry far below. This has featured in episodes of Dr Who.
I glanced around me at the hills rolling away and the great expanse of sea before me. Not a soul in sight. There was absolutely nothing I could do if a stray Dalek came out from behind the rocks hell bent on extermination.
Suitably fed and watered I gathered courage to tackle the crippling steps carved out of the cliff (a giant's idea of a joke) at St Aldhelm's Head. And yes, I saw you Mr Coastguard in your cosy station giving me that pitying look.
With visibly quivering knees, rapidly blackening big toenails and shattered pride (I was overtaken by an octogenarian) I emerged on to Emmett's Hill. Damn, those toenails had only just grown back as well. Ladies, if you're thinking of taking up hiking regularly then be prepared to ditch the pedicure and polish. It's not cheaper for the salon to paint just 8 nails. I asked.
Myself and 2 fellow hikers continued body popping along the narrow path in a desperate attempt to regain control of unresponsive limbs.
Rounding the headland you get the first views of Houns Tout Cliff and the cliffs beyond towards Kimmeridge, Worbarrow and Lulworth. It was slightly too hazy for me to make out Portland in the distance.
I hurried on to Chapman's pool and here I stayed, drinking in the glorious view for a good 30 minutes or more. The area is a prime spot for finding fossils and that brings me to another good reason for paying a visit to the Square and Compass – where else could you find a pub with its own fossil museum?
Just as I reluctantly prepared to leave I detected the beep of a text message. "Welcome to France. Calls cost…" Must definitely brush up on those navigation skills…
Happy hiking!

The software giant said its Microsoft Mobile Explorer (MME) allows handset makers and wireless carriers to provide their customers with the choice of a broad line of applications and services on data-enabled telephones and next-generation "smart phones."
Microsoft is already embroiled in a battle with handheld rival Palm Computing, which earlier this fall signed a licensing and development agreement with Nokia, the giant cellular phone maker, to create new products that combine wireless voice and data access with mobile capabilities. Microsoft has been trying to chip away at Palm's formidable lead in the handheld-computing devices market with its Windows CE operating system.
Cellular phone and handheld device makers, software firms and e-commerce players have recently redoubled their efforts to make Web services available to handheld devices. The move is generally termed an "Anywhere, Anytime" strategy. A growing number of online brokerage houses are implementing trading over wireless devices. Several e-tailers now allow customers to shop using handheld devices. Today Amazon signed a deal with Sprint PCS to allow its customers to buy from the online shopping site using Sprint's Internet-ready PCS Phones.
Microsoft said its MME is a key component of Microsoft's end-to-end wireless strategy to provide mobile Internet products that use additional technologies from the company, such as its Exchange Server messaging software and MSN Mobile Services.
"Microsoft's goal is to enable secure information access anytime, anywhere, from the device of the user's choice," Harel Kodesh, vice president of the productivity appliance division at Microsoft, said in a statement. "Today's launch of the MME platform combined with Microsoft Exchange Server and MSN Mobile Services represents a significant step forward in delivering on that promise through mobile phones."
MME is currently being used in the United Kingdom and Norway by British Telecomunications for corporate customer trials. MME is also under evaluation for current and future networks by Korea Telecom Freetel and DeTeMobil Deutsche Telekom MobilNet, Microsoft said.
NTT DoCoMo has also expressed a strong interest to deploy Microsoft Mobile Explorer-based mobile phones in its networks, the software giant said.
Components for MME will be delivered throughout next year beginning with an initial release of Microsoft Mobile Explorer for feature phones in the first quarter of 2000, Microsoft said.

Carpet Cleaning – Cost and Fall Cleaning Tips
The carpets in your home may not be the first thing guests notice, but if they are dirty they will give your entire home a grungy, run-down look. Keeping your carpets looking clean and new requires some simple ongoing maintenance.
Carpet Cleaning
Regular carpet cleaning is key to maintaining the look of your home. Vacuum once a week, and more often in high traffic areas such as hallways and entryways. Once a month, use the hose attachment to clean around the baseboards, under the furniture, and in other hard to reach places.
Once or twice a year, you should have your carpets steam cleaned. This lifts out ground-in dirt that the vacuum cleaner cannot remove.
Carpet Cleaning Cost
Most professional carpet cleaners use one of two pricing models: they charge by room or by square foot. A carpet cleaning company that charges by room can give you an accurate estimate over the phone, while one that charges by the square foot will need to come to your home to measure before they can tell you how much your carpet cleaning cost will be.
Get estimates from several carpet cleaning companies before making a decision, and be sure to factor in extra costs such as furniture moving. A less expensive company may expect you to remove all of your furniture from the room before they arrive, while a slightly more expensive company may provide more complete service.
Fall Cleaning Tips
As the seasons transition from summer to fall, it is a good time to do a deep clean, beginning with your carpets. This will ensure that your home is ready for holiday guests and entertaining. Try to have your carpets cleaned in early fall, while the weather is warm enough to keep the windows open. This will help the carpets dry more quickly.

Barry Larkin
Year: 2002
Brand: Topps Total
Card number: 679 (or CIN11 if collecting by team)
You know you've got a large set on your hands when Larkin is numbered 679! Topps did add a small nice touch by making Larkin #11 within the Reds set - the same as his uniform number. Unlike many other people, I never really fell in love with the whole Topps Total thing...which is a bit weird considering how much I love to collect sets... Even so, I do appreciate each and every Larkin card in my collection!
For this particular card, the front is quite plain - though it is a nice photo of Larkin running to third while pretending his Jordan with his tongue stuck out. I think the Topps Total logo could have been changed places with the Reds logo - no one needs the card set logo three times the size of the team logo!
The back of the card is a rather confusing mess. There's the "regular" card number in the middle of the top, while the bottom right corner features the "team" number. I also don't appreciate the snarkiness of the Topps copy writers, specifically "slowed by assorted injuries...Larkin remains a clubhouse leader and the last link to the Reds' 1990 World Championship team." I also don't particularly like the fact that there is two small written blurbs separated by a small box of season statistics.

Team USA Downs Team Europe in World Cup of Trick Shots
Team USA Downs Team Europe in World Cup of Trick Shots
The World Cup of Trick Shots was held October 29 at Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino in Uncasville, CT, where Team USA claimed the title over Team Europe in the fourth annual international team competition in the sport of trick shots. The prize purse was $30,000 for the event, with $20,000 and gold medals to the winning team.
Captain Andy Segal, who recently won the trick shot Magic challenge, led Team USA to victory and the gold medal. Other Team USA members were Tom Rossman, Mike Massey, and Bruce Barthelette. Silver medalists from Team Europe included Captain Stefano Pelinga, Nick Nickolaidis, Luke Szywala, and Ralph Eckert. Their team also won $10,000.
The format for World Cup consisted of eight artistic show shots by both teams in a match. Team members executed a challenge shot of their choice, and their opponents were required to duplicate the shot or lose a point. In the semifinals, with two members from each team, the players alternated shots in four player head-to-head matches, performing intricate trick shots meant to stymie their opponents. A sudden death tie-breaker to decide a match required an eight-rail bank shot onto the face of a $100 bill. The championship finals match pitted all eight members of Teams America and Europe in the wildest shootout of the year.
In the first semifinal, Team USA players Rossman and Massey prevailed over Team Europe members Pelinga and Szywala by a score of 8-5. The other semifinal saw Team Europe artists Nikolaidis and Eckert slip past Team USA players Segal and Barthelette 7-4 in a tight match. The winning team in each semifinal carried a one-point bonus forward into the final match.
The finals, featuring alternate challenge shots by the eight players of both teams was a back-and-forth seesaw with Team Europe struggling to narrow the score. Team USA steadily held a slight lead and finally closed out the championship match by a score of 8-5. The overall score for the tournament was a down-to-the-wire victory of 20-17 for Team USA.
The standing-room-only crowd gave Team USA a rousing ovation at the conclusion of the championship match. The gold medals and the team check were presented by Mohegan Sun and Fusion Billiard Tables. The presentations brought another round of cheers from the audience.
In addition to the fine tournament site at Mohegan Sun, the event was sponsored by Fusion Billiard Tables, Aramith Tournament Billiard Balls, Simonis Cloth, Mueller Recreational Products, Executive Billiards, and Silver Cup Chalk. The WPA-sanctioned event was produced by Billiards International, Ltd.

Blog post for a beautiful day
Radio Gretchen pens a fine appreciation here.
Radio Gretchen pens a fine appreciation here.
Check out the Farmers Market in the South Park Blocks on Wednesday's from 10am to 2pm. Tons of fresh organic produce, bread, sweets, flowers, people and so on.
I like to visit the tribal fishermen from the Columbia Gorge who bring in some of the tastiest fresh and smoked salmon around. Lately, they've also had fresh sturgeon which I hear is killer.
I'm glad Gretchen found out the instrument was a Marimba.
Hey! Thanks for the shout out!
Good link Jack. That is what I would want to experience in a visit to Portland!

Islanders reflect on 2012-13 accomplishmentsby Brian Compton
However, the 2012-13 season has to be dubbed a successful one for the Islanders. After all, they did participate in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in six years. The Penguins, who are the No. 1 seed in the East, needed overtime to beat the Islanders twice.
So now that the Islanders are indeed back in business, the next logical step is to build off what they were able to accomplish on the ice this season. With Hart Trophy finalist John Tavares at the forefront, and more young players (Nino Niederreiter, Ryan Strome and Griffin Reinhart, for instance) on the way, the Islanders look like they have the talent to contend for years to come.
"Our expectations are to win every year," coach Jack Capuano told reporters Tuesday. "That doesn't change. You have to understand the expectations of how tough it's going to be. There's other teams in the Eastern Conference that didn't make the playoffs. Sometimes there's coaching changes, sometimes there's personnel changes. They're going to make their clubs better. We have to understand that when we get out of the gate in Game 1 [next season] that the feeling that they had down the stretch and the belief in the system that they had has to start immediately."
Before the 2013-14 season gets under way in October, general manager Garth Snow will be faced with some difficult decisions. Two of his leaders – goaltender Evgeni Nabokov and defenseman Mark Streit – are set to become unrestricted free agents in July. Streit has been captain the past two seasons, and Nabokov's play down the stretch helped end New York's playoff drought.
However, Nabokov struggled during the postseason. He allowed at least four goals in each of the four losses and was pulled twice. His goals-against average was 4.44 and his save percentage was .842.
Capuano deflected any questions about personnel changes to Snow, but was quick to defend his No. 1 goalie.
"We were 67 percent in the playoffs on the penalty kill," Capuano said. "I know your goalie's your best penalty-killer, but go back to Game 3 … I don't think Nabby had a chance on a few of those goals. We had our breakdowns, there's no question. But throughout a series, you're going to have breakdowns. It's how you respond and how you adjust.
"He got us there. He played a lot of hockey and I thought he did a real good job for us. My mindset doesn't change on Nabokov."
As for Streit, the five-year, $20 million deal he signed with the Islanders in the summer of 2008 is set to expire. He's sure to receive offers from other teams if he reaches free agency July 5, but Streit told reporters Tuesday he hopes to extend his stay on Long Island.
Streit finished tied with Tavares for the team lead with five points (two goals, three assists) in the six-game loss to Pittsburgh.
"I've been here five years and played with a lot of great players," Streit said. "It's a great organization. I love the team and living on Long Island. I think this year, making the playoffs and the fans and playing in front of those crowds were unbelievable. I really want to come back. I love the guys on the team. We have a great room, and I think that's always important and special.
"It was a shorter season, but a great experience and a lot of fun. Making it to the playoffs was one of our goals and we reached that. Unfortunately, we came up short against Pittsburgh, but we gave them a hard battle. But this situation is definitely different than the years before."
The Islanders were obviously the underdog entering their first-round series against the Penguins, and their chances of an upset became slimmer when defenseman Andrew MacDonald suffered a broken hand while blocking a shot in Game 4. MacDonald has since undergone surgery and should be ready to go when training camp opens in September.
"Our expectations are to win every year. That doesn't change. You have to understand the expectations of how tough it's going to be. There's other teams in the Eastern Conference that didn't make the playoffs. Sometimes there's coaching changes, sometimes there's personnel changes. They're going to make their clubs better. We have to understand that when we get out of the gate in Game 1 [next season] that the feeling that they had down the stretch and the belief in the system that they had has to start immediately."
-- Islanders coach Jack Capuano
MacDonald, 26, averaged 23:26 of ice time per game during the playoffs and finished third in the League during the regular season with 123 blocked shots.
"It was really frustrating," MacDonald said. "The same thing happened two years ago and I broke my other hand. It was early in the season so it wasn't nearly as bad as this one. It's pretty tough to watch those games. We obviously didn't play very well in Game 5, but Game 6 I thought everyone really stepped up and played great. I think everyone should be proud of how we played. We're not satisfied with it, but it's a good stepping stone going forward."
Indeed, it was a solid mix of players in the Islanders dressing room this season, led by Streit and Nabokov, while Tavares, MacDonald, Frans Nielsen, Kyle Okposo and Travis Hamonic continued to grow into leadership roles. There obviously could be some personnel changes this summer as Snow tries to improve his club, but the core is already in place -- a core that wishes the 2013-14 season started tomorrow and is eager to prove that what the Islanders accomplished this season was only the beginning.
"I think this is probably one of the most close-knit group of guys that I've coached," Capuano said. "We won those games and we battled as hard as we did because they cared for one another and they played for the guy across from them, they played for the next to them. That was the disappointing thing for me, that when you do your exit physicals and it's all said and done that they don't get to play together again. That's what it's all about – it's all about the players.
"I thought we grew as a team in a lot of different areas. It wasn't the outcome that we wanted. We have to be better, but they have to understand – and I think they do understand – how tougher it's going to be moving forward."

About Biosolids:
Lincoln's Biosolids Land Application Program is 20 Years Old! On May 12, 1992, the first truckload of the City of Lincoln's dewatered biosolids was delivered to farmland in Lancaster County. This event ended a decade of planning by Lincoln's sanitary engineers to dispose of this municipal organic waste in a more environmentally responsible, beneficial manner – rather than being buried in the landfill. In the last 20 years, more than 100 area farmers have applied nearly 600,000 tons of biosolids to their cropland, improving their soil and increasing yields. Read more here

Staghorn corals at Carysfort Reef east of Key Largo, Florida, 1976-2016 ( credit:Chris Langdon/AGU)
Less than a week has passed since the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) released a report on oxygen generation in the worlds oceans. This Journal noted the widespread trend in a post bringing attention to this dangerous ecological situation. Now, researchers from the University of Miami's School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, have released a report showing the structural limestone in coral reefs is dissolving on many of the corals in the Florida Keys.
In announcing the research publication, the American Geophysical Union said:
"Every year, the oceans absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and become more acidic, the process known as ocean acidification. Projections, based largely on laboratory studies, led scientists to oridingally predict ocean pH would not fall low enough to cause reefs to start dissolving until 2050-2060. Thickets of staghorn corals extensive in 1976 at Carysfort Reef, approximately six nautical miles east of Key Largo, Florida, are gone today and replaced by a structure-less bottom littered with the decaying coral skeletons."
The declining reefs will have a major impact on habitat for numerous fish species. The Florida Keys' have an estimated commercial and recreational resource value of nearly $8 billion. The field and laboratory efforts to reach the study's conclusions are presented here:
Aldo Leopold, the wildlife researcher, famously commented in his book The Sand County Almanac "that to be an ecologist was to live in a world of wounds". Leopold's words are now taking an expanded meaning with the advent of global ocean acidification and climate change now.

Summer Reading Issue
Real Life
MY MOTHER GREW UP ON A WISCONSIN DAIRY FARM, through the Depression and World War II. It was a place both picturesque and prosperous -- an idyll at the core of my own childhood, when we'd venture west from suburban Boston every summer -- but to my mother, it was also the place that taught her the meaning of hard work, sacrifice and moral discipline. She learned to drive a tractor the minute her feet could reach the pedals. Which meant, decades later, that whenever my younger sister or I would whine about doing homework or setting the table or needing a ride to the school dance, we would hear in no uncertain terms what a soft and privileged life we led. Would we like to hear (again) how cows cannot wait to be milked (and do not take weekends off); what it's like to walk a mile to a one-room schoolhouse where the teacher wields a mighty ruler; or how, on the Fourth of July, fireworks are a luxury for people who don't have hay to bring in?
The stories were riveting, but they also impressed upon me (daydreamy, creative, bookish little me) that I didn't know squat about Real Work or even Real Life ... whatever that might be in 1960s terms when you lived in a woodsy, liberal Massachusetts suburb; when your dad was a scholar of ancient history and your mom a fine cocktail party hostess and a master of foxhounds.
Yes: a master of foxhounds. Because once she had settled with my grad-student father far away, in every respect, from her diligent, agrarian youth (they began their life together in a tiny apartment near Harvard Square), my mother contracted a delayed-onset case of husbandry nostalgia. By the time I was in high school, we lived with four cats, two horses and assorted foxhounds (on hiatus from their working lives). My mother had recalibrated her farm-girl skills to become a confident horsewoman and a gifted dog trainer, one who could charm a throng of large hounds into doing her every bidding -- not the least of which was to chase a trail of artificial fox scent through the countryside, all for the entertainment of several dozen people gussied up like extras in the movie "Tom Jones."
Mom rose early every day, devoted herself to the many animals under her guiding hand, and lived life large. Our phone rang day and night with the questions and dilemmas of numerous people dependent on my mother for her know-how. Eagerly, my younger sister followed in her footsteps -- on horseback, that is -- while I continued to immerse myself in reading, drawing and writing fanciful stories. If I ventured into the woods, it was to deliver a solo performance of Ionesco or Shakespeare to the squirrels. I was a nerd, and I knew it. But I was in good company: Back then, my father worked at a desk in my parents' bedroom, combing through antique hieroglyphic codices. "You and your father are quite the pair," my mother would comment tersely as she went from one practical task to the next, always on her feet, rarely indoors, while we did not budge from our books.
From fifth grade on, I worked at our public library. The pay, a pittance, was almost superfluous. All through high school, I looked forward to summer as the time when I could work at the library four or five days a week. I was never a camp counselor, a lifeguard, a scooper of ice cream. I recognized such jobs as more "normal" than mine -- jobs where you worked up a sweat -- and I worried, just a little, about my future in a world of people who, like my mother, knew the meaning of Real Work.
IN 1974, I WENT AWAY TO COLLEGE -- TO YALE, a school proud of its "weenie" reputation. My brain was designed to thrive at a place like this. By Christmas, I realized that I could write an A term paper in just about any subject -- blindfolded, both hands tied behind my back, Mick Jagger yowling from my roommate's speakers. This did not make me feel smug or even secure, for here I was coming up on my third decade, and I had yet to encounter Real Life. The longer I managed to avoid it, surely the more traumatic it would be. Because Real Life, I figured, was something you couldn't put off forever without the proverbial trust fund. Even my dad hadn't escaped. To help pay my tuition, he'd taken a 9-to-5 job in Boston.
To my scant, antiquated record collection -- Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, madrigals and folk songs -- I added Stevie Wonder and Billie Holiday. I went to campus rallies in support of various trendy causes, but I dressed like a monk (hopsack jeans, dark turtlenecks, and those Clark shoes that look like they're stitched by Bavarian gnomes). No wonder I had yet to be kissed. Then, as winter waned, two things happened ...
One night, I was eating dinner with a girlfriend when a guy we'd never seen before marched up with his tray and said, "The two of you remind me of Ursula and Gudrun in Women in Love. May I join you?" Wow. What could we say? (And he was cute!) At the end of the meal, he took my phone number. (My girlfriend was spoken for.) For our first date, I dug through my cassockwear and found a silk blouse my mother had bought for me and a pink scarf I'd never worn. When I met the cute guy, he said: "That scarf! It's the color Michelangelo painted God on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel."
Another night, my mother called. "I have some great news. I have a summer job for you," she said. One of those "Tom Jones" extras at the foxhunt -- a guy named Bevin -- owned a small high-tech company and was happy to offer me full-time work "helping out with publications." I could use my writing skills, and I'd make a lot more money than I did at the town library. "It's a real job," said Mom.
That spring, I went around in a daze. I had my first Real Boyfriend and was about to tackle my first Real Job. The boyfriend had a few eccentricities. He liked to dress in Gatsby-esque outfits he dug up at thrift shops, and he espoused macrobiotic eating habits. He informed me that my occasional hysterics -- generally when he stood me up -- were caused by an excess of yin foods. But how could I resist a guy who gave me my first honest kiss -- dramatically, under scalding glares -- in a Gothic reading room decked out with gargoyles? He spoke fluent French, played on the tennis team, went to church, had a brown belt in judo and had grown up in Manhattan. So I pretended it didn't matter that he made me cry a little too often. I'd be happier, I knew, if only I could learn to eat more brown rice.
IT TOOK ME 15 MINUTES, cautiously driving my parent's VW Bug, to get from our house to work. Bevin's company occupied a squat glass rectangle on the crest of a hill beside Route 128 (nicknamed, back then, America's Technology Highway).
Once I'd parked in the company lot, I was greeted by Bevin. As a sometime spectator at the foxhunt, I had seen him from a distance, astride his huge gray horse, and was startled to discover that on foot he looked just as tall. He was a middle-aged guy built like a Hobart refrigerator. His VP and sidekick, Ernie, had the relative stature and style of a Milanese toaster. After shaking hands with Ernie, I was handed over to their secretary. Mary was a skinny, big-haired woman old enough to be their mother, a doppelganger for Lily Tomlin in any number of spinsterly roles.

Metacognitive lesson journals
The idea here is to ask students to write a paragraph about the day's lesson, the week's work, the current unit, etc. The journal can take the form of a regular (daily/weekly) journal, or journal entries can be a more random or better still, on the class online blog.
Entries can be written into their workbooks, a separate journal book, an online blog post or could simply be submitted on blank paper. Some teachers have their students write on small, hand-held whiteboards (laminated A4 paper) and display their comments to the class. Journal entries can be responses to teacher initiated questions such as 'What did I learn?', 'What did I enjoy?', 'What new thinking did I use?', etc.

Data security is top of mind for IT departments and often the key reason for choosing a Citrix solution. Nowhere is this topic more relevant today than in discussions involving enterprise mobility and data sharing.
ShareFile, the Citrix sync-and-share solution for the enterprise, makes it easy to exchange information with third parties–sometimes too easy. Users should not be allowed to share files broadly when they contain sensitive information like credit card numbers, personally identifying information or intellectual property. For health care organizations, limiting the spread of protected health information (PHI) is the core requirement for HIPAA compliance.
For premise-based systems like corporate e-mail and web proxy servers, outbound information can be checked at the network edge and the egress of sensitive data, accidental or intentional, can be prevented. But when you send a file as a hyperlink instead of an attachment, the existing systems are bypassed and your security team loses visibility into what is leaving the network.
Soon after Citrix introduced ShareFile Enterprise with StorageZones, our partners Digital Guardian and Code Green Networks developed solutions to mitigate the risk of data leakage by leveraging ShareFile APIs to move or revoke access to files that contained sensitive information. But if your security team had already standardized on a different on-premises security suite, you had either to manage two sets of DLP policies or accept the risk of sensitive data going out via ShareFile.
So, we're very excited to announce that ShareFile now integrates with several market-leading DLP offerings to enable content-aware sharing restrictions.
Documents stored in your on-premises StorageZone can be examined by any third-party DLP security suite that supports ICAP, a standard network protocol for inline content scanning. Sharing and access privileges can then be adjusted based on the results of the DLP scan and your preferences for how strictly you want to control access.
Which DLP systems are supported?
Because we rely on the ICAP standard for interaction with your DLP server–same as a web proxy would–ShareFile DLP integration will work with any ICAP-compliant solution and requires no changes to policies or servers in your existing security suite. ICAP-compliant solutions include:
Tying ShareFile security policies to your existing DLP security suite means you can maintain a single point of policy management for data inspection and security alerts. If you already use one of the solutions mentioned above for scanning outgoing e-mail attachments or web traffic, you can point the ShareFile StorageZones Controller to the same server.
How ShareFile works with market-leading DLP solutions to prevent data loss
We've developed a flexible policy-based system that offers granular access and sharing controls based on a new classification attribute that will be associated with each file. The system uses DLP scan results to classify every version of every file in your StorageZone. There are three data classifications:
- Scanned: OK – Files that were scanned by a DLP system and passed OK
- Scanned: Blocked – Files that were scanned by a DLP system and were found to contain sensitive data
- Unscanned: Files that have not yet been scanned (in cases where files exist before DLP is configured, or when the external DLP system is unavailable or slow to respond)
Next, the ShareFile platform enforces different access and sharing restrictions for each data classification. For each of the three categories, the ShareFile administrator chooses which actions to allow:
- Whether employees can download or share the file
- Whether 3rd-party users can download share the file
- Whether anonymous users can download the file
These settings constrain the normal permissions and sharing controls available to users as they interact with their ShareFile data and collaborate with others. For instance, when sending someone a file, users could choose to block anonymous access even if DLP settings would allow them to share it anonymously. But if they attempt to share a file in a way that the DLP settings prohibit, the platform prevents them from doing so.
This flexibility allows you to control the trade-offs between security and usability as best fits your organization. If a document is flagged as sensitive, you could still allow sharing between employees but block sending to anyone outside your organization. Or you could take a stricter approach and block all users (even the owner of the file) from downloading or sharing the file with anyone. If you block downloads, an employee would not be able to access ShareFile from an unmanaged device, get the file and share it by other means.
For any files that are not yet scanned, you can configure the same sets of constraints. This means ShareFile could take an "innocent until proven guilty" or "guilty until proven innocent" approach according to your appetite for impeding the flow of information.
When StorageZones Controller sends files to the DLP system for scanning, it includes metadata indicating the owner of the file and the folder path where the file resides in ShareFile. This allows the DLP server to log incidents and create notifications with enough detail to be actionable.
ShareFile DLP integration requires StorageZones Controller release 3.2, which will be generally available in June 2015.

The hype surrounding 3D printing has consumers and manufacturers buzzing. There have been discussions of printing everything from guns to steaks to entire buildings. NASA even funded the development of a 3D food printer to feed astronauts in space. Everyone wants a piece of the computer-generated pie. And surfers are no exception. Today, from your home, with nothing more than a 3D printer and a digital design file, it's now possible to create functioning fin setups, fin boxes, and plugs for your next session. The insight and knowledge that were once relegated to the minds of shapers and design companies could soon be socialized and downloaded by the masses, clearing the path for a new design renaissance in the sport.
Here's how it works: With a Computer Aided Design (CAD) file acting as a virtual blueprint, 3D printers utilize an array of materials—plastic, metal, and yes, even polyurethane—to turn an idea into a tangible object within a few hours. The process is called additive manufacturing, and in essence, it makes it possible to build a physical 3D object out of thin air. Once you've uploaded your design, the printer first creates a base layer out of your selected material and then adds multiple layers on top of one another until your object takes its final shape. Imagine creating a new fin design from your bedroom in the morning and being able to test it out in an afternoon session.
It's not a matter of if surfboards will one day be self-manufactured through 3D printing, but when.
Creating an entire surfboard using a 3D printer is possible, but not yet practical. According to Paul Spoliansky of 3DSystems, a pioneer firm in the industry, it's not a matter of if surfboards will one day be self-manufactured through 3D printing, but when. "We could create a surfboard from a 3D printer now, but the size of the printer you'd need to create a board would be too expensive and large for most people," said Spolianksy. "It's definitely going to happen. But in the meantime, we're seeing people creating things like fins and fin boxes. It's not theory, people are actually doing it now."
Surprisingly, the technology behind 3D printing dates back nearly 30 years. For the bulk of its lifespan, due to cost, 3D printing was relegated to automakers and the aerospace industry. But in the past five years, the price of the printers has fallen dramatically, making it possible to purchase one for a little over $1,000. When it comes to the cost of self-manufacturing, it's currently estimated to run you around $100 to create a plastic set of three fins.
Although there are some progressive designers already self-manufacturing fins from their homes with 3D printers, the technology has not yet made it to the masses. Before 3D printed fins reach lineups, they'll face a number of obstacles, most of which relate to materials. The majority of the plastics currently available for 3D printing aren't robust enough to hold up in heavy-water conditions, but according to Adrian Barnes of Futures Fins, finding the right material is only a matter of time.
"The only thing lacking right now is finding a plastic material that's stiff enough to hold up to the conditions. We're getting really close to seeing that and I think in the future, we're gonna see a lot of cool development when your backyard shapers start tweaking templates." As Barnes states, with a larger number of design enthusiasts experimenting with new templates, it's easy to envision a future ripe with design innovation.
Although the potential implications of 3D printing are indeed far-reaching, critics cite concerns over intellectual property laws, and don't envision quite so rosy a future. Through websites like Thingiverse.com, the virtual blueprints needed for manufacturing nearly anything are offered up for free, making a mastery of CAD irrelevant. Download the file for your next fin setup and it's yours. Virtual blueprints needed for manufacturing nearly anything are offered up for free, making a mastery of CAD irrelevant.

Michael Weinberg, an attorney for Public Knowledge, a group dedicated to open-sourced Internet content, doesn't believe that big businesses will be able to enforce patent infringement and that any attempt would be ill-fated. "Going forward, manufacturers actually have an opportunity to learn from history. It took the music industry a decade, millions of dollars of legal fees, and the lost goodwill of almost its entire customer base before it found the best way to deal with digital disruption. Instead of suing to try and make 3D printing disappear, the best—and only real—strategy is to find a way to embrace and monetize it."
As this technology continues to evolve, perhaps we'll see a future in which the current leaders in fin and board design are able to sell their design files online, mimicking the digital business models of the music and film industries. If the grand predictions of 3D printing hold, not only will we witness dramatic changes to the way we manufacture and use our equipment, but that change could very well happen in your own living room.

Linear Regression Calculator is an online statistics tool for data analysis programmed to calculate the relationship between two variables by fitting a linear equation to observed data. One enters data points into the calculator and the calculator keeps track of the sums and performs the necessary calculations for linear regression
Linear Regression is an approach to modeling the straight-line relationship between variables by using a linear equation to observed data. It is identical to all forms of regression analysis, focuses on the conditional probability distribution of y given X, rather than on the joint probability distribution of y and X, which is the domain of multivariate analysis. Among two variables scalar variable Y is considered to be explanatory variable and other one or more variables denoted X is considered to be dependent variable
A linear regression line has a formula of Y = A + BX, where X is the explanatory variable and Y is the dependent variable. The slope of the line is B, and A is the intercept (the value of Y when X = 0)
Linear functions are used to model the data in linear regression and the unknown model parameters are estimated from the data. Such method of modeling data is known as linear models. Generally, linear regression assign to a model in which the conditional mean of y given the value of X is an affine function of X. Linear regression rarely could refer to a model in which the median, or some other quantize of the conditional distribution of y given X is expressed as a linear function of X
To obtain Linear Regression calculations like Slope of the Line B, Explanatory Mean Y, Dependant Variable Mean X, Line Intercept A, Regression Equation and Number of Inputs this online calculator is an essential tool to analyze the relationship between the given two sets of data

Historic Landscape Characterisation
Vale of Ffestiniog - Area 3 Ffestiniog
© Crown copyright. All rights reserved, Gwynedd Archaeological Trust, 100017916,
Historic background
A 2' gauge horse- and gravity-worked
railway opened in 1836 to transport slate from Blaenau Ffestiniog
to the sea at Porthmadog, which between 1863 and 1872 led the
way in adopting locomotive traction, passenger services, and
articulated locomotives and rolling stock. Its fortunes declined
with those of the slate industry, and closure came in 1946.
It was revived when an enthusiast group gained control of the
company in 1954, and was thereafter rebuilt in stages until
Blaenau was reached in 1982. This involved construction of
a new length of railway between Dduallt and Tan y Grisiau,
as the old course was flooded by the construction of the pumped
storage scheme.
The Festiniog railway, in the period 1863 to 1872, not only demonstrated
how the civil engineering of the unimproved horse tramway could be
taken forward into the age of steam – and thereby provided a
cheap and effective method of transport for the British empire, the
USA and beyond – but also proved the practicality of articulated
locomotives and rolling stock such as are now standard world-wide.
Much of its Victorian infrastructure survived not only the period of
closure from 1946 to 1955, but also the over-enthusiastic modernisation
of the railway in the 1960s and 1970s by its present management. The
railway now supports a Heritage Group which dedicates itself to the
preservation or reconstruction of traditional civil engineering features
of the railway, such as semaphore signalling, as well as rolling stock.
Key historic landscape characteristics
19th-century narrow gauge railway and
The civil engineering of the railway reflects
its birth as a 'hybrid' railway, between the primitive
purely industrial railway and the modern public railway. The
sinuous course is typical of an early 19th-century Welsh tramroad,
and the use of large stone-built embankments is paralleled
in other contemporary railways. The construction of the spiral
route at Dduallt derives from the practice of railways such
as the Darjeeling-Himalayan railway in India, now a World Heritage
Site, itself directly inspired by Ffestiniog practice. The
section of line between SH 6789 4220 and SH 6824 4496 is entirely
new build of the late twentieth century.
Late 19th-century station buildings and other
infrastructure survive at Porthmadog (SH 5712 3840 - the station
is shown on the photograph), Minffordd (SH 6004 3856), Penrhyndeudraeth
(SH 6129 3951) and Tan y Bwlch (SH 6499 4156). Elsewhere, original
structures have been replaced by modern ones. The extensive
nineteenth century locomotive works at Boston Lodge, at the
eastern end of the Cob, remain in use and are listed almost
in their entirety.
The railway's impact on the development
of the historic landscape of the Glaslyn-Ffestiniog axis has
been profound. The Tan y Grisiau to Rhiwbryfdir section (SH
6824 4496 – 6902 4550) is a rare surviving example of
an early industrial community built around a railway.

We are so proud of our Ama Ghar alum Anish Lama, who has been trained as a trekking guide and was chosen to join a medical team for a medivac mission to Sindhupalchowk, one of the areas hardest hit by the earthquakes.
The team was composed of two Nepali nurses, doctors from Spain and Iran, and Nepali guides. They set up medic camps in Ghipche and Jyamling and helped to evacuate critically ill patients by helicopter.
When Anish got his trekking guide certification, he probably didn't expect this to be on his resume – but we're so pleased that he has been able to help in such a meaningful way. Good work, Anish!

Irelandia (Ireland + India) – Curried Cabbage & Pairings
Saint Patrick's Day is almost upon us and here at BLC that means cooking up something delicious (and maybe wearing a little green as well). Since no doubt we will soon be hearing the (let's be honest, sometimes blaring) tones of bagpipes in the air it seemed like we should prepare something to honor this holiday from the Emerald Isle. It seems no Irish inspired meal is complete without cabbage, so in addition to our Blind Bat Stout Stew, we also cooked up a curried cabbage side dish. You may be asking, "Is this another recipe with a twist?" Yes, yes we did decide to add a twist to our cabbage. While we think corned beef and cabbage is a fine choice for your St. Pat's celebration we wanted to try two recipes that were a bit different and offered some more depth of flavor to pair with the beers we would be enjoying. This side dish was savored with our stout stew, but it would make a suitable side dish for just about any St. Patty's Day meal. This could also be turned into a hearty main course on its own by adding meat or tofu in the mix. This dish is savory, a little spicy and was quite tasty.

Musica Camerata Montréal presents: Discoveries Two Quintets for piano, violin, viola, cello and double-bass Saturday, September 13, 6 PM
Montreal, August 14, 2014 – Musica Camerata Montréal begins its 45th season in a beautiful way Saturday, September 13, with the concert Discoveries, witch will feature pianist Berta Rosenohl, violinist Luis Grinhauz, violist Bertrand Robin, cellist Leo Grinhauz and double-bassist Eric Chappel.
The first concert of the season presents a program of uncommon quintets for piano, violin, viola, cello and double bass. The best known piece for this combination is Schubert's "The Trout", but other great works were also written for the same combination, among others by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, one of Britain's giants, and French pianist and composer Jeanne-Louise Dumont-Farrenc, who lived in France in the 19th century.
The program:
Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 – 1958)
Quintet for piano and strings in C minor
Jeanne-Louise Dumont-Farrenc (1804 – 1875)
Quintet no2 for piano and strings in E Major, opus 31
A few words on the composers :
Ralph Vaughan Williams
Vaughan Williams's style expresses a deep regard and fascination with folk tunes, the variations upon which take the listener from earth (where he always tried to remain in his daily life) to far beyond. Simultaneously the music shows patriotism toward England in the subtlest form, engendered by a feeling for ancient landscapes and for a person's small yet not entirely insignificant place within them. His earlier works sometimes show the influence of Maurice Ravel, his teacher for three months in Paris in 1908. Ravel described Vaughan Williams as the only one of his pupils who did not write music like Ravel.
Ralph Vaughan Williams was a huge bear of a man, but modest and plagued with self-doubts through most of his life. At the time of the composition of the C minor quintet (1903), he had just returned from crossing the Channel for some composition lessons with Ravel. The Frenchman was amazed by Ralph's prodigious natural talent, declaring that he had little to teach the English bear and pleading with him not to attempt to write music which sounded like Ravel! Ralph took that advice. He didn't.
Jeanne-Louise Dumont-Farrenc
It would be safe to say that Jeanne-Louise Dumont-Farrenc was to France what Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn were to Germany. These women had remarkable careers in the 19th century considering that men musicians were favored by society at this time. After studying at the Paris Conservatory, Ms Dumont-Farrenc made her career as a pianist but also taught piano for 30 years (1842-1872) at the Paris Conservatory where she was loved by all.
She was a prolific composer in all genres and her music appeared regularly on concert programs and earned her the praise of musicians the likes of Berlioz. Her romantic style is highly refined. The Piano Quintet Op 31 dates from 1844-45.
Since its creation in 1970, Musica Camerata Montréal offers programs of a rare originality, and has devoted much of its energy to promote the music of Canadian composers. The ensemble has continuously been seeking new repertory and has given the Canadian premiere of many unknown musical works. Musica Camerata Montréal's repertoire includes more than 350 works from the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st century. On tour, Musica Camerata Montréal has given concerts in Canada, the United States, Central and South America, always to high critical acclaim.
