Performing, communication and visual arts - together in one school. Overview of our areas of study
Our list of undergraduate majors and minors
"Start a Movement" isn't just a slogan. It's what we expect from our students - we want you to move, innovate, begin, explore and create. Start a movement today
The Meadows School of the Arts, formally established in 1969 at SMU in Dallas, has achieved prominence as one of the foremost arts education institutions in the United States. Learn more about SMU Meadows
The Meadows School of the Arts serves the public as a significant cultural center by presenting more than 400 events annually for the Dallas community and surrounding region.
Each fall, Meadows School of the Arts awards the esteemed Meadows Prize to pioneering artists and scholars with an emerging international profile. The 2009-2010 winner, New York-based public arts incubator Creative Time, spent a year studying the Dallas art community and produced a report with 60 recommendations on how to foster arts in the city.
Out of that report came strong recommendations for:
Inspired by these recommendations, Associate Professor and Chair of Art History Janis Bergman-Carton created a class that provided students the opportunities to turn these recommendations into action. The 17 students from various arts disciplines who signed up for "Artspace: Mapping Sites of Social Change" soon began working with members of the West Dallas community, filming oral histories of community elders commissioned by DMAHL (Dallas Mexican American Historical League) and working with art education programs for elementary and secondary school children in the West Dallas Community Center.
As dual-major student (Communication Studies and Journalism, '16) Natalie Yezbick talks about the project, she speaks in terms of "we," revealing that she has immersed herself in the project and has become part of it.
"We met people passionate about their past," she says. "The project is important because you learn from your roots, where you come from, the struggles your family went through. This project, and its richness of the history and heritage, shows the kids living in West Dallas that they have opportunities here that their families struggled to give them."
Dual-major student (Dance and Pre-Med, '16) Abby Marchesseault says the students were careful not to impose their "outsider" way of perceiving things.
"We wanted to be able to tell their story without the filter of our own perspectives," she says. "We learned as many facts as we could about the area and the people, by listening to the residents and learning from them."
Professor Bergman-Carton says the project took on a life of its own and expanded as they moved forward. "The class was an invitation for students to become stakeholders and participants in Meadows' initiative for urban engagement and creativity.
"We have learned a lot in this effort. I believe this is just the beginning of a larger campus/community collaboration to come."

Pastelaria Sala de Cha Versailles is an originally decorated place where you can have your delights both at the counter or served at your table. Staff is very friendly and service is quick. Carefull, the GPS location is on the wrong location.
This is a very antique and pretty cake shop/lunch restaurant. The service is not that nice, as they're used to that same old clientele, but it's ok. I come here for one reason along, a cake named Baba! Fluffy pastry soaked in liquor and topped with whipped cream. A delight!
tea room in Lisbon. Classic building, in the second important avenue of the city. Take the metro (blue and yellow line - Saldanha's station). The toast is great. A tea or a black coffee. Not for lunch, or a "international breakfast". The mirrows are so beautiful! Polite customers. Very good service. An elegant program, for elegants persons, as you...Eat with... More
Breakfast is not a big priority in Portugal as it is in many Anglo Saxon countries. We wanted to like this place and were looking forward to a great breakfast.

Amazing array of treats, the best pastel de nata I've ever had and great service - what more can I say??
Had lunch here as the place was packed inside on a Friday lunchtime. We ordered cod croquets, meat croquets and a salada rusa. It was very disappointing. The salad had no flavour. The meat croquet had too much beef flavour , and the cod croquets were bland and chewy. Maybe we just made a poor choice as there seemed to... More
Old school pastry shop with a lovely large display. You can tell a server what you want, then sit down and they will bring it to you (very quickly). The Pastel de Nata was fantastic. Espresso equally as good. Well-priced, fast service. Easy walk from the Sheraton. We saw other tables having sandwiches and french fries, but only had pastries.... More
During a ride on one of the red hop on hop off busses we saw this place and thought wow but it must be expensive. We got off the bus then as we passed on foot we saw friends inside who beckoned us to come in. I am glad we did as the large selection of cakes were clearly fresh... More

The Man In The Hat Sings
Who else will lobbyist Jack Abramoff take down with him?
For years, Jack Abramoff had it all--money, power, friends in high places. He spread campaign cash and lavish gifts around Washington, hustled fat-cat clients, and palled around with power brokers on Capitol Hill. He could do no wrong. Now, however, he is the proverbial skunk at the garden party--scorned by his big-shot friends, frightened, and facing the prospect of perhaps 10 years or more in prison.
The fast rise and calamitous fall of Jack Abramoff is just the latest variation on an old Washington theme. The big question now, though, is not what happens to Abramoff but whom he'll bring down with him. The list of those with potential problems is long indeed and starts with Tom DeLay, the former House majority leader now facing his own legal woes for alleged campaign-finance shenanigans in Texas. After him, there's a handful of lesser congressional fry, perhaps a senator, and enough current and former congressional aides to field a baseball team.
People with knowledge of the federal investigation of Abramoff say prosecutors are focusing on Rep. Bob Ney, an Ohio Republican who aided Abramoff and accepted campaign donations, a golfing trip to Scotland, and other favors from the GOP lobbyist. A decision on a Ney indictment could come within weeks, sources say. Ney denies any wrongdoing.
Abramoff knew where the power was. "Jack was very good to the 'little people,'?"says a person familiar with the inquiry. "He didn't just take senators and congressmen on trips. He took staffers on trips and got them lucrative jobs.''
The Abramoff case has built slowly over the past two years into a major scandal, as investigators from the FBI and the Interior Department dug into the lobbyist's highflying life. Some old Washington hands believe that when the case finally fades from the headlines, it will go down as the biggest influence-peddling scheme to hit the nation's capital in decades.
For now, this much is certain: L'affaireAbramoff has so unnerved many Republican lawmakers that lobbying reforms are expected to pass this year. Among other changes, such reforms are likely to curb privately funded junkets for lawmakers and require more disclosure by lobbyists of funds spent to influence legislation. "What do you do when your back is up against the wall?'' asks William Canfield, a prominent Republican lawyer and lobbyist. "You create something to make the problem go away. I think you will see reforms by the end of the year.''
Dirty money. Abramoff's downfall was certified in two federal courts last week. In Washington, he pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy, mail fraud, and evading federal income taxes, and agreed to cooperate with investigators. He admitted defrauding four clients, Indian tribes that owned casinos, and agreed to make restitution of $25 million. He also agreed to pay the IRS back taxes and penalties of $1.7 million. In a Miami courtroom, Abramoff also admitted defrauding two Florida lenders in a deal to acquire a fleet of casino ships.
Until he cut his deal with the Justice Department, Abramoff, 46, had maintained stoutly that he had done nothing wrong. He and a business partner, Michael Scanlon, hauled in more than $80 million in fees from their Indian clients. Abramoff shared some of the wealth. According to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign donations, he and his Indian clients gave some $4.4 million in such gifts to more than 300 lawmakers, federal candidates, and political committees over the past six years. Recently, many lawmakers began giving up the tainted funds to charity. President Bush's re-election campaign decided to give the American Heart Association the $6,000 it had received from Abramoff, his wife, and an Indian tribal client.
Abramoff's plea agreement came as no surprise. Last November, reports began circulating in Washington that he was negotiating with government prosecutors. In fact, Abramoff's team of lawyers, led by Abbe Lowell, had been in discussions with federal investigators for more than a year, according to those with knowledge of the investigation. U.S.News was told that initially, Abramoff faced the prospect of being charged with crimes that could have carried a prison term of more than 100 years. His lawyers "fought very hard for over a year,'' says a source, to get him a better deal.
Now, the government is preparing to reap the benefits. Investigators "will follow this guy into Congress and into the executive branch, including Interior,''this person says. "Obviously, they will drain him dry about what he knows.''

Share Restrictions and Investor Flows in the Hedge Fund IndustryMila GetmanskyUniversity of Massachusetts at Amherst - Eugene M. Isenberg School of Management - Department of Finance & Operations Management Bing LiangUniversity of Massachusetts at Amherst - Department of Finance & Operations Management; China Academy of Financial Research (CAFR) Christopher SchwarzUniversity of California at Irvine Russ WermersUniversity of Maryland - Robert H. Smith School of Business November 16, 2009 Abstract: This paper studies the effect of share restrictions on the flow-performance relation of individual hedge funds. As such, we reconcile previous research that shows conflicting results for this relation without explicitly considering restrictions. Specifically, we find that hedge funds exhibit a convex flow-performance relation in the absence of share restrictions (similar to mutual funds), but exhibit a concave relation in the presence of restrictions - our evidence is consistent with both a direct effect of the binding restrictions and an indirect effect that is due to investors endogenizing expected future binding restrictions when investing their money. Further, we find that live funds exhibit a concave flow-performance relation due to stricter flow restrictions than defunct funds, which display a convex relation. Finally, we find that money is "smart," that is, fund flows predict future hedge fund performance; however, this "smart money" effect is eliminated among funds with greater share restrictions.

Making decisions is tough. Consumers today have more choice than ever, and in many markets, competition is fierce. For many individuals, pulling the trigger and making a big decision is all but impossible.
Needless to say, consumer inaction is a problem for businesses. If you can't convince potential customers to make the decisions that lead to them becoming customers, you don't have a viable business.

Polaroid |
Lady Gaga is best known for her elaborate image -- now she's reinventing herself through the magic of Polaroid.
The music maker has teamed up with Polaroid to create Grey Label, a specialty line of instant imaging products co-designed by Gaga herself. "I wanted to create products that I knew [people] would love to use," she says of the new camera and accessories. "To create cameras and a printer and glasses that I knew would work into their lifestyle as music fans, as concert goers -- as wild party kids."
The G10 printer is small enough to fit into any handbag, instantly transforming any non-Apple phone into a Polaroid instant camera that prints in about 40 seconds. There's also a modern update of the classic instant camera called the GL30 Instant Digital Camera that allows users to print or discard the images they take.
"It's been a really long and exciting and grueling and imaginative process," Gaga says. "We've done everything that we can to improve the instant camera to make it new, to feel better in your hand and make it compatible with the digital era."
The big wow factor came with she presented the first ever sunglasses that not only protect from the sun -- but can also take pictures! The GL20 Camera Glasses captures everything with the wearers field of vision and displays it on 1.5 inch LED screen on the lenses.

doesn't everybody work on labor day? |
Today's Reading: Urban Transportation by Zoltán Várnagy Plum Island Bird List |
May Day is a big holiday here. Very big. And everyone worked Saturday ('cept me - I went to Kaposvar) so they could have yesterday off and make it a big three day Labor Day Weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Entomologist think I am crazy for going to work at the Botanical Department today. They keep telling me over breakfast that it is a work holiday so I should not go to work. But this is the perfect time to upgrade to Mac OS 9.1 so that I can download the fix for the memory leak problem. I won't be keeping Karoly from scanning or retouching photos because he won't be there. And I really want to get rid of that memory leak. So, it's hi-ho hi-ho it's off to work I go. The trams are on holiday schedule so the trip takes a tad longer than usual and then I can't seem to open the door of the Botanical Department building. I call from across the street at the Hotel Platanus where I'm having a refreshing second cup of coffee. István says he and Marti are the only people in the building. Maybe we are nuts. A visiting Croatian dendrologist came by with some stuff for István on a Zip disk so I unplugged the scanner and plugged in the Zip drive for him. We gotta get a USB hub. However, he didn't have time to wait for me to finished downloading the upgrade, so ended up not using it after all. I forgot about having unplugged the scanner and went on with the upgrade. On the tram on the way home I saw lots of people with red balloons and fake asters in their hair headed home from socialist and communist May Day rallies. The communists looked really old. |

Just wondering.
Just wondering.
I really can't think of a reason either. It's not inherently bad, but it's probably hard to truly spur a good conversation from a resurrected thread.
When they said "sit down", I stood up.
Check out a track from A Wilhelm Scream's 2013 release "Partycrasher": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeVHRk3VWlA
It may have to do with necrophilia?
Don't know either, I used to do it all the time. I Guess I'm an unpolite internet user.
Why do you spell your words like it's the 1700's?
Back in the day, I used to get in trouble for that until I stopped. Though I still am curious as to why some would rather see an identical, new thread as opposed to a revived one (hasn't really been a problem here, though).
For me, I figure if I can contribute something truly interesting, then I'll take a shot at reviving it. If not, I let it be.
Actually I meant it as a joke, since "auld" is the "auld" spelling of "old". Does it strain your eyesight or what? *shrugs* Doesn't bother me a bit, and you can lump it.
Doesn't the admin contradict himself when he says that we should go for the search button rather than create a new thread for a subject that has been flogged to death? Since we are not meant to revive said threads.

Living Room & Kitchen
Developers around the Midwest are snapping up old buildings near restaurants, theaters and other attractions and turning them into upscale residences that draw young couples, single professionals and empty nesters. Even among dedicated suburban dwellers, loft style is driving many looks in decorating and design.
Responding to this trend, Midwest Living joined other magazines published by our parent company, Meredith Corporation, to rehab six loft units in a riverside warehouse in our hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. Designers tailored each loft for a different life stage, and we created our tri-level space to suit active empty nesters starting a new life downtown. But the ideas it contains for using light, space and color can inspire anyone seeking a sleek new look. Come inside.
Living Room
Converting old commercial buildings to residences usually involves design challenges such as softening the hard visual lines of brick and metal and distributing limited light from windows on the one exterior wall. Seeking to shape the industrial space into a softer, more comfortable environment, we painted brick walls and installed drywall. To help increase what light we had, we chose a reflective color scheme of soft white and pale aqua Benjamin Moore paint.
Our loft provided almost 1,700 square feet, but its linear shape made it feel smaller. Tall ceilings, cutouts between rooms, and mirrored walls helped expand it visually. A dropleaf oval table in the dining area off the kitchen accommodates two-person dining, buffet spreads or larger sit-down dinners. Classic furnishings from the Milling Road Collection by Baker carry out the sophisticated city look we envisioned.
We tucked our kitchen on the living room level under a 7-foot ceiling beneath the loft bedroom. Limited upper cabinets keep the kitchen from feeling cramped, and a tiled ledge above the apron sink offers open storage (inset). This efficient space, measuring just 12x14 feet, features a tight work triangle but still provides a place at the island for guests to sit and chat with the cook. Track lighting focuses on specific task areas. Silestone natural quartz countertops, maple KraftMaid cabinetry finished dark and light, and stainless steel Jenn-Air appliances continue the cream, wood and silver finishes carried throughout the loft.
Across from the island, a 9-foot stretch of countertop offers a place to set out hors d'oeuvres and drinks during parties. A bar sink, wine chiller, blender and icemaker make entertaining more convenient.

Today In Marine Corps History:2 March 1867
Carl | March 2, 2013
Jacob Zeilin, Colonel Commandant of the Marine Corps from 30 June 1864, was this date promoted to the rank of Brigadier General Commandant, the first time Congress authorized this rank for the Marine Corps.
The statute, however, was repealed in June 1874 so that the rank of Commandant would again revert to colonel upon Zeilin's retirement.

Sometimes I'm glad that I don't get to watch the games. This one was bad enough just listening to it. But then I remember that there are more things in life than just baseball. Like beer. And steak. And girls.

Michael Phelps' golden Olympic legacy
Back in 1972, Mark Spitz wowed the Olympic Games in Munich with his seven gold medals. Thirty six years later Michael Phelps says he wanted to surpass that feat.
Phelps's idol Ian Thorpe – himself a multiple Olympic gold medallist - said it could not be done. But he was in the Water Cube in Beijing to see Phelps surpass Spitz and was fulsome in his praise for the 23-year-old.
"I'm really proud of him," said the Australian. "Not just because he won eight golds. Rather, it's how much he has grown up and matured into a great human being. Never in my life have I been so happy to have been proved wrong. I enjoyed every moment of it."
The French have a word for career achievements – palmarès. It imbues success with an ancient aspect. And it is hardly surprising since its etymology streams from Latin concepts of grandeur. If anyone is worthy of the palm in Olympic terms then it is Michael Fred Phelps II.
He has won 18 gold, two silver and two bronze medals in Olympic Games since Athens in 2004. His Beijing bonanza of eight golds is unlikely to be repeated. But for all his individual brilliance in those games, three of the haul came in relays.
And if Phelps ever spawns, the first born should be named Jason - even if it is a girl - in honour of Jason Lezak who helped keep Phelps's dream alive in Beijing.
Going into the 4x100m freestyle relay, Phelps was already one gold to the good and he swam a sterling first leg to set the US team up. But by the time Lezak took to the water for the anchor leg, he was half a body length behind France's Alain Bernard, a man he had never beaten.
The French were preparing to crow but the next 47 seconds rewrote the internal chemistry of the games at the pool. Lezak reined in Bernard and touched home first.
Phelps's scream of frenzied joy shaped his torso to reveal a hive of muscles. It was one of the salient images from the Beijing Games and the bellow was a resounding precursor to more glory.
And the 4x100m men's freestyle race from then on was referred to as "the relay".
The French pipped the Americans to the 4x100m freestyle in London and Phelps lost the 200m butterfly by a fingertip - the same distance he'd won it by in Beijing.
"Going through everything I've gone through over the past week and feeling how I've felt shows that I was in the best shape of my life in 2008," Phelps reflected.
"And for me to be able to do all that in 2008, then everything had to fall into the right place at the right time. I mean everything had to be perfect. And the results speak for themselves. Everything was perfect. And I ended up being at the right place at the right time."
His decision to retire after the London games appears to be the right decision at the right time.
The intensity required to remain at the top seems almost inappropriate for a man approaching 30 who has won it all.
It might also taint his legacy.
As Phelps idolised Thorpe, so in his turn Phelps is revered among the swimmers.
Chad le Clos, who beat Phelps to the 200m butterfly in London, is unabashed in his adoration of the boy from Baltimore. And the American has reciprocated by anointing the 20-year-old South African as the next big thing. But Phelps is just as quick to point out that Le Clos will have to work to maintain his supremacy.
With such regal endorsement and a chance to go deep sea cage diving in South Africa with his hero on the horizon, Le Clos is unlikely to squander such patronage.
But what is a phenomenon to do to make sense of a life away fom the environment that's furnished such respect and renown?
Firstly there seems to be a gastronomical objective.
"I'm looking forward to eating whatever I want whenever I want," said Phelps. "But sadly with not working out as much you do have to watch your calorie intake because I saw myself blow up in 2008 after taking six months off. I'm going to try and stay active and try to stay in some kind of shape."
There's also the Michael Phelps Foundation charity which aims to promote the sport of swimming and a healthier lifestyle.
He might also watch the generation he's helped to inspire. "I'm going to enjoy looking in at the young Americans," he said just after winning his 17th gold medal in London. "They're going to fill our shoes easily. Missy Franklin is swimming 15 million events and Ryan Lochte is going to go on another four years. There are a lot of great people that will be fun to watch over the next four years.
"I'm quite keen to go to the next world championships to watch these guys compete and it will be interesting to see Chad over the next four years. It's been great to race with him a couple of times.
"It's something I've always wanted to do – see the sport from the other side and now I have my opportunity."
Le Clos for his part has spoken about the void that will be left when Phelps is not at an international meeting.
But it is typical of the 'Baltimore Bullet' to regard his departure as a moment for others to emerge. As a boy Phelps suffered from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Swimming was suggested as a way to channel his energies. A good diagnosis.

The work of Louis and Bebe Barron on Forbidden Planet exemplifies a type of agency and technological voluntarism in music and sound creation. During the production of the score for the film the Barron's created circuits which would be used as a signifier for particular characters, much in the style of the leitmotif of Richard Wagner. This technique is still used today, although more in the sense of classical scores having themes for each character. Since the antagonist of Forbidden Planet is the invisible manifestation of Morbius' (a space-age cousin to Morpheus of Shakespeare's Tempest) Id, an accompanying distinguishable sound was utilized to indicate its presence on screen. Likewise, a different circuit was used for each character, the Barron's even giving them names and calling them their children.
Dissolution of objects from their symbols. Alien landscapes. Broken information. Reconfiguring of context.
123dCatch was used to capture the objects to 3d. Then Blender to do the animation of all the objects. The sound file is heavily modified (yet still somewhat discernible in places) Blue Danube Waltz, available at archive.org and used here under Creative Commons.

If it is greater than the average it causes playback speed to increase, if it is less than the average, playback speed decreases.

Are Major Copyright Lobbies Showing Signs of Panic?
Submitted by PWA on Thu, 07/19/2012 - 13:02Things aren't going anywhere near as well as major copyright corporations had hoped. After facing a major defeat in Europe as well as facing extra scrutiny from other countries, ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) is not exactly looking like the copyright flagship that would usher in new unprecedented copyright laws. Now, looking at what is cropping up really gives us the impression that not all is well in the corporate camp right now.
Major corporate interests had high hopes for ACTA. While it was initially dialed down to exclude the three strikes law, many provisions remained that caused critics to be in an uproar. In retrospect, it's pretty easy to see the plan in the grand scheme of things: Push ACTA on a whole lot of countries, then ask for more a year or so down the road through either CETA (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) and TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership). Of course, since ACTA was, compared to the other two agreements that have been floating around, relatively mild, there would be no problem getting countries around the world to just adopt it.
Then again, maybe not.
After a massive protest in Europe, ACTA was overwhelmingly shot down in Europe. The uproar has, in part, brought considerable focus to these secret agreemments to the public at large and that awareness turned many people into activists who are fiercely opposed to these agreements. Europe may have been seen as a launching pad to pressure other countries into following suit, but now, it has become a major obstacle for convincing other countries to ratify the agreement.

Before the mango update, Youtube videos were allowed to resume through the back button or the music+video hub. However, after the mango update, when a Youtube video is interrupted there is no option to resume, which is a pain!!!

Caerphilly county borough council is optimistic that it can recover a significant amount of the money it has invested in Icelandic banks.
Cllr Colin Mann, Deputy Leader and Cabinet member for Resources says, "Early predictions last autumn on recovering the money are now far more hopeful. The anticipated £15 million loss may now be more like £3 million and whilst we did not gain the interest it is a far better picture than we had dared hoped for last year. We also set aside in the 2008/09 Financial Accounts sufficient funds to deal with any shortfall and therefore it will not have an impact on service delivery budgets."
"It is important that all our residents are assured that there is no immediate impact on services due to this issue. Indeed, we emphasis you can have complete confidence in your local council continuing to deliver the same high quality services as always. We continue to work closely with our colleagues in the WLGA and LGA to look at the ways we can recover this money," he added.

The Office of Financial and Insurance regulation (OFIR) and Allstate Insurance Company are working together to warn consumers of an international mail fraud scheme.
An OFIR employee received a counterfeit check that appeared to originate from Allstate. The fraudulent check was issued for $4,970.20 and came with a letter informing the recipient that they won a $250,000 "Consumer's Promotion Draw" for consumers who shop at a number of the nation's major stores. The letter also explains the $4,970.20 check was issued to cover the "Non-Canadian Residential Tax" The consumer will have to pay to a tax agent. The consumer is also expected to pay $200 in insurance and delivery charges. The individuals sending these letters and counterfeit checks have no affiliation with Allstate and are illegally using the company's name.
Michigan consumers who receive or have received what appears to be a $4,900 check from Allstate should immediately contact OFIR toll-free at 877-999-6442 and the agency can direct their call to the proper authorities.

Vero Beach police were called March 10 to a disturbance in the 1200 block of 24th Street. Officers were met by Suzanne Evlarina Wasden, whose pants were partially down and whose derriere was partially exposed.
Wasden, 49, said an ex-boyfriend came to her home "looking for birthday sex," the affidavit states. Wasden was described as "very intoxicated."
Meanwhile, a 16-year-old boy who lives next to Wasden said Wasden came to his trailer seeking a cigarette and beer. Wasden began screaming and yelling, the affidavit states.
The teen told police the ex-boyfriend tried to calm Wasden, but that she attacked the ex-boyfriend. She pushed him into glass, cutting his arm, and started throwing papayas at them.
The teen said Wasden turned around and lowered her jeans below her hindquarters and said, "Kiss my butt." The teen said he could see "everything and 'that was something that none of us wanted to see," the affidavit states.
The teen, the ex-boyfriend and two others saw the "exposure."

Sofia Gubaidulina
Two Paths (A Dedication to Mary and Martha) (1999)
Composer note:
The work owes its existence to the conductor Kurt Masur and his wife, Tomoko Masur. They invited me to compose a piece for two violas and orchestra. In other words, from the very outset I appreciated that the soloists would be two identical string instruments manifesting themselves through two female personas.
Under the circumstances it was entirely natural to choose a theme familiar from centuries of artistic experience, the theme of two types of love – of Mary and of Martha. It is a theme of two ways of loving: 1) to love taking upon oneself worldly cares and by so doing ensure the foundation of life, and 2) to love dedicating oneself to the sublime, to experience together with the Beloved the route of terrible suffering to the cross, so as to procure light and blessing for life.
Naturally music doesn't convey these metaphysical stimuli to us literally and directly. That isn't its job. It is, however, capable of creating a metaphor, a kind of comparison concealed from the concrete. For example, sounds moving in different directions, motion upwards or downwards, already can constitute a sufficiently definable metaphor of two differing psychological directions, two paths into the unknown forest of the perpetual variety of life.
In this composition the orchestra plays the role of the initiator; within it, a series of dramatic situations occur sometimes highly aggressive and savage. Each of these situations poses questions for the soloists that they must answer.
The process of formulating such answers provides the premise of the composition, dedicating its form. It presents itself as a chain of variations, during the course of which the relationship of the two solo personas – to each other and to the orchestra – changes.
I. In the first variation they answer the orchestra's fortissimo with a contrasting pianissimo. Their impulses, moreover, are utterly transparent: motion upwards in Viola I, motion downwards in Viola II.
II. In the second variation, the original unambiguity is replaced by more complex relationships. It is more like a dialogue than an opposition.
III. In the third variation, the picture is further complicated by the inclusion of orchestral soloists in the dialogue between the two violas.
IV. In the fourth variations, the picture becomes even more complicated. However, this process leads once again to the original clarity: motion upwards in Viola I, and motion downwards in Viola II.
V. Fifth variation. In the orchestra there is static undulating motion, pianissimo; the soloist are maximally expressivo: they make attempts to meet at the center of the diapason, but they manage only to continue their paths – one proceeding upwards from below, the other downwards from above – passing each other crosswise.
VI. This sets in motion the stasis in the orchestra: two opposing layers in the high and low registers beginning to move towards each other, each reaching its extreme limit. Simultaneously with this crossing, which takes place in a slow tempo, a dynamic, motoic episode begins (crescendo from pianissimo to fortissimo leading to the main climax, an orchestral totti.
VII. The seventh variation. This is a sort of conclusion, a summing-up of the quests: Viola I gradually reaches the extremes of its highest register; with an ostinato Viola II reaffirms its very lowest register

The concert offered a welcome second chance to hear Sofia Gubaidulina's TWO PATHS. The viola has a husky, sunset sound and here a pair of them engage in obscurely passionate dialogue, now coiling themselves around each other, now pulling apart with enigmatic urgency. Their private drama is bathed in a lamplight glow from the orchestra. The piece follows a flow of comforting intimacies and troubling cries. Music of such immediacy and finesse deserves not just a second hearing, but the opportunity to become familiar.
Sofia Gubaidulina's TWO PATHS [is a] gripping, imaginatively conceived work, well-suited to the musical gifts and personalities of two remarkable performers. Gubaidulina selected her TWO PATHS theme [as] the 'two types of love...two different psychological directions' exhibited in the New Testament account of Mary and Martha, sisters from Bethany who offered hospitality to Christ and his disciples. TWO PATHS drew on the very different traditions of Asian mysticism and the European avant-garde. The 20-minute concerto opens with an insistent three-note motif in the woodwinds and strings that recurs throughout the piece, setting a musically aggressive backdrop for the entrance of the soloists. More often than not, the soloists were heard without accompaniment. Their parts intertwined harmonically, conversed, clashed dissonantly and moved in opposite directions. Musically, TWO PATHS is not a virtuosic showpiece, but it makes considerable demands on the soloists. The Martha part has many difficult low trills in the netherworld of the viola range. Mary shows her ethereal, questing nature through ascending chromatic lines and whispery harmonics - high, pure tones of flutelike timbre. Two segments of the piece were particularly unforgettable: a "weeping" motif for the strings, like overlapping cries of anguish, and a section which the soloists play above repeated, tinkling chords in the celesta, until the whole orchestra comes in and gradually gathers itself into a frenetic climax. In this premiere, Mr. Masur's deep affinity for the modern Russian school of composers, united his brilliant soloists with an obviously enthusiastic orchestra in a highly skilled, lovingly realized performance.

Oh down by my feet, the broken pieces lay
Running wild, you tore me to pieces
As a child, No I didn't believe it
When mamma said
"Baby keep a hold on your heart
The bad boys'll tear it apart
I just want you to you know
That from the read set go
You gotta be on your feet
Always ready to run
Because in time you'll soon find
Yourself a bad one"

Q: We have a 2-1/2-year-old who used to be a good eater. She was always fussy but still ate a pretty healthy diet. That's all changed over the last few weeks. She now only eats potato chips, cookies and ice cream. We have tried bribery, punishment and even starvation. That is, we let her go through breakfast and lunch some days with no food because she refuses to eat anything healthy. So then we'll give in and give her some of the junk food she insists on eating so she won't starve as she's crying and crying that she's hungry. It's heartbreaking and we're worried about her. Is this just a stage? Any suggestions?
A: This really isn't about diet; it's a power struggle. Your daughter has learned that if she doesn't eat healthy food, she will get junk food. Yes, it takes a while, but she's willing to wait you out as she knows you'll eventually give in.
She's trained you very well.
Toddlers have so little control over their lives that the stubborn ones often use food as a way of controlling their parents. If the parents give in with food, it can soon spread to other issues, like bedtime, potty training, etc.
She's very young but can understand that if she eats something healthy, she will get a small treat.
Don't bother trying to educate her on the importance of a healthy diet. Just keep it plain and simple: "If you eat your fruit and yogurt, you can then have a cookie."
The more negotiations and dialogue you allow yourself to be pulled into, the weaker you will appear to her. You've already explained yourself, she knows what's going on, and it's now up to her.
Stay calm and in control and if she starts crying, offer her the yogurt (or whatever you've chosen as her healthy food).
If she doesn't want it and starts throwing a tantrum then that's her choice. She'll soon realize you mean business and will start eating healthy food again.
In the meantime, don't worry about her starving. Toddlers do not starve themselves to death. They may starve themselves to get their own way, but once they realize that's not an option, they will give up and eat.

Sony will not raise PlayStation 3 prices in UK |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: SCEE, Sony, UK
The current economic waves have weakened the Pound against the Yen and the Euro, sparking some worry that Sony might raise the price of the PlayStation 3.
Sony dispels these concerns, saying that they won't raise the price of the PS3. The same can't be said for all their other products though. Says a Sony rep:
Sony UK can confirm that in the past 48 hours it has communicated to its trade channel that due to adverse changes in the Yen/Euro & Euro/Pound exchange rate over the last six months, and with this uncertainty set to continue into 2009, Sony will increase the trade price of a number of products over the coming months.
The precise level of price increases has not yet been agreed, but it is likely that the vast majority of products affected will see increases of significantly less than 33 per cent. As these testing trading conditions continue, Sony does not believe that it will be alone in taking this form of action.
Hopefully the PSP won't be in any danger either. Chances are though, accessories like the PS3 wireless keypad and the AC Adapter will be getting the heavier price tags.

Carrot and Artichoke Soup
I love serving this, one of my most favourite soups. First, it has an extremely rich, beautiful colour, almost saffron I would say. And second, people can never quite guess what it is.
Jerusalem artichokes don't look user-friendly, but once you've cut off and discarded all the knobbly bits, the flavour is quite outstanding.
Serves 6-8

There is no list of equipment specified for this recipe. |
This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course, How to Cook Book Three, Delia's Vegetarian Collection and The Delia Collection: Soup
Start by peeling and de-knobbling the artichokes and, as you peel them, cut them into rough chunks and place them in a bowl of cold salted water to prevent them from discolouring. Then, scrape the carrots and slice them into largish chunks.
Now, in a large saucepan, melt the butter and soften the onion and celery in it for 5 minutes, keeping the heat fairly low. Next, drain the artichokes and add them to the pan, along with the carrots. Add some salt and, keeping the heat very low, put a lid on and let the vegetables sweat for 10 minutes to release their juices.
After that, pour in the hot stock, stir well, put the lid back on and simmer, very gently, for a further 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
Now liquidise the soup in two batches, then return it to the pan, taste to check the seasoning and reheat very gently until it just comes to simmering point.
Serve in hot soup bowls, each garnished with a swirl of crème fraîche and a few leaves of the parsley.
