A cold front that will move in on Wednesday will deliver the first dose of truly fall-like weather this year, according to WHDH-TV channel 7 meteorologist Jeremy Reiner, with a slight chance of wet snow.
Yes, that's right, Reiner said in a blog post Monday morning that similar weather patterns to the one setting up for Wednesday has produced wet snow in the past.
"I'm not saying this will happen but rather something that we will watch during the day on Wednesday," he wrote.
What will surely happen is that temperatures will drop from the 50s into the 40s on Wednesday with light rain hanging around most of the day, he said.
"It should be noted that in scenarios, like the one on Wednesday, can and have produced some light wet snow - case in point Sunday Oct. 18, 2009 - it snowed across much of SE Mass.," he wrote.
Any precipitation should end by the first pitch of game 1 of the World Series at Fenway Park, Reiner said.
The National Weather Service, meanwhile, is calling for rain on Wednesday afternoon with a low temperature of 38 degrees. And Accuweather is forecasting a low temperature of 36 degrees on Wednesday with rain.

Good murals, much needed K'e work....can't wait so hear his voice again
Video: Navajo Artist Uses Art to Teach About Native Life
Jorge Martin Melchor
Julius Badoni is a Navajo artist who grew up on the reservation painting his representation of life. "We never played with any computers or watched TV on the reservation," he said. "We created our own games." That creativity stayed with him when he moved to Phoenix and studied at Arizona State University, as did the problems he saw as a child. Today, he tries to make a difference by painting murals about his experiences and using his paintings to teach others about remote problems they may not understand. "My murals have a provocative message for the new generations of Navajos," he said. "I want to tell them to remember our history and change our present."

Henrico's Top Teachers – Nancy Niedermayer
Glen Lea E.S., kindergarten
As a student at VCU, Nancy Niedermayer was assigned to Glen Lea as a student teacher. A decade later, it's still home. Though she taught second and third grade during her first few years at the school, Niedermayer has been firmly entrenched as a kindergarten teacher in recent years and says she loves it. "It's a lifestyle and very different from anything else," she says. "It's fast-paced. I find it completely entertaining. You can be having the worst day, and at some point in the day, they're going to make you laugh or challenge you. It's very hard to be in a bad mood in kindergarten." Glen Lea sits in the shadows of Richmond International Raceway and serves one of the most economically challenged regions of the county. But, one colleague wrote in a nomination letter, "Ms. Niedermayer never uses this as an excuse; instead, it motivates her even more." Niedermayer feels a strong connection with her students – even after they've left her classroom. "I'm not just interested in them in kindergarten," she says. "I'm interested in the all the way through. I just feel like when I go to school every day it makes a difference. I feel like there's lots that I can offer, and the kids offer just as much back. I need them as much as they need me." Many students don't have the type of basic resources at home that might be taken for granted elsewhere, so Niedermayer takes it upon herself to help out. She has organized an "angel tree" program through her church (Christ the King Lutheran Church) for several years during the winter holidays, during which church members purchase gifts for students who otherwise might not receive any. She's also partnered with her church to help provide food to students who might otherwise go without. "Just this past week, I observed her sending one of her kindergarteners home with a bag of food because she knew he was not getting enough to eat," a nominator wrote. To Niedermayer, it's all just part of the responsibility that comes with being a teacher. "In one day's time you can go from being teacher, to mom, to nurse," she says. "You're not only an educator – a lot of times the love, the stability that you can provide is just as important." Niedermayer created a program at Glen Lea called Character Cinema, which rewards students who consistently display good character with an afternoon trip to the movies as a group. "It creates excitement, it shows that their good character doesn't go unnoticed," she says. "Sometimes we're in an environment where we pay more attention to the bad behavior than the good." Niedermayer also has served as the school's computer contact, assisting other teachers with technology issues on a daily basis, and as the head of the school's social committee, helping to celebrate the successes of others. And she organized and compiled a staff cookbook to sell at school events, using the money to buy treats for students during SOL testing. But despite all she does at the school, Niedermayer's favorite moments are those that need no explanation: Watching students' reactions at the moment when a lesson suddenly makes sense. Then, she can't always hold back her enthusiasm. "Sometimes I'll do a little dance and they'll look at me like I'm crazy, and I say, 'You'll get it one day.'" |

Thermidorian Reaction
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2012) |
The Thermidorian Reaction was a revolt in the French Revolution against the excesses of the Reign of Terror. It was triggered by a vote of the National Convention to execute Maximilien Robespierre, Louis Antoine de Saint-Just, and several other leading members of the Terror. This ended the most radical phase of the French Revolution.
The name Thermidorian refers to 9 Thermidor Year II (27 July 1794), the date according to the French Revolutionary Calendar when Robespierre and other radical revolutionaries came under concerted attack in the National Convention. Thermidorian Reaction also refers to the remaining period until the National Convention was superseded by the Directory; this is also sometimes called the era of the Thermidorian Convention. Prominent figures of Thermidor include Paul Barras, Jean-Lambert Tallien, and Joseph Fouché.
Thermidor represents the final throes of the Reign of Terror. With Robespierre the sole remaining strong-man of the Revolution following the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat (13 July 1793), and the executions of Jacques Hébert (24 March 1794) and Georges Danton (5 April 1794), his apparently total grasp on power became in fact increasingly illusory, especially insofar as he seemed to have support from factions to his right[citation needed]. His only real political power at this time lay in the Jacobin Club, which had extended itself beyond the borders of Paris and into the country as a network of "Popular Societies".
In addition to widespread reaction to the Reign of Terror, Robespierre's tight personal control of the military, his distrust of military might and of banks, and his opposition to corrupt individuals in government, made him the subject of a number of conspiracies. The conspiracies came together on 9 Thermidor (27 July) when members of the national bodies of the revolutionary government arrested Robespierre as well as the leaders of the Paris city government.
Conspiratorial groups[edit]
Not all of the conspiratorial groupings were ideological in motivation; many who conspired against Robespierre did so for strong practical and personal reasons, most notably self-preservation. The surviving Dantonists, such as Merlin de Thionville for example, wanted revenge for the death of Danton and, more importantly, to protect their own heads.
The Left were opposed to Robespierre on the grounds that he rejected atheism and was not sufficiently radical.[citation needed]
The prime mover, however, for the events of 9 Thermidor (27 July) was a Montagnard conspiracy, led by Jean-Lambert Tallien and Bourdon de l'Oise, which was gradually coalescing, and was to come to pass at the time when the Montagnards had finally swayed the deputies of the Right over to their side. (Robespierre and Saint-Just were themselves Montagnards.) Some authors[1] argue that the then leftist Joseph Fouché played a large role in the conspiracy. Fouché was likely to be convicted and executed for treason and atheism, since Robespierre himself was about to denounce him in a speech to the Convention, which would have been delivered the day after the coup d'état (28 July). Dwelling in the shadows, he made great efforts to convince the main surviving leftists and moderates that they were meant to be the next victims of Robespierre's dictatorship, thus uniting them against Robespierre, and by those means saving his own life.[citation needed]
In the end, it was Robespierre himself who united all his enemies. On 8 Thermidor (26 July) he gave a speech to the Convention in which he railed against enemies and conspiracies, some within the powerful committees, as he did not give the names of these traitors, all in the Convention had reason to fear that they were the targets. Later he went and enlisted the support of the Jacobin Club, where he denounced Collot and Billaud. These men then spent the night planning the following day's coup with other members of the convention.
On 9 Thermidor (27 July), in the Hall of Liberty in Paris, Saint-Just was in the midst of reading a report to the Committee of Public Safety when he was interrupted by Tallien, who impugned Saint-Just and then went on to denounce the tyranny of Robespierre. The attack was taken up by Billaud-Varenne, and Saint-Just's typical eloquence fled him, leaving him subject to a withering verbal assault until Robespierre leapt to the defense of Saint-Just and himself. Cries went up of 'Down with the tyrant! Arrest him!' Robespierre then made his appeal to the deputies of the Right, "Deputies of the Right, men of honour, men of virtue, give me the floor, since the assassins will not." However, the Right was unmoved, and an order was made to arrest Robespierre and his followers.
Troops from the Paris Commune arrived to liberate the prisoners. The Commune troops, under General Coffinhal, then marched against the Convention itself. The Convention responded by ordering troops of its own under Paul Barras to be called out. When the Commune's troops heard the news of this, order began to break down, and Hanriot ordered his remaining troops to withdraw to the Hôtel de Ville. Robespierre and his supporters also gathered at the Hôtel de Ville.[2]
The Convention declared them to be outlaws, meaning that upon verification the fugitives could be executed within 24 hours without a trial. As the night went on the Commune forces at the Hôtel de Ville deserted until none of them remained. The Convention troops under Barras approached the Hôtel around 2:00 am on 28 July. As they came, Robespierre's brother Augustin leapt out of a window in an escape attempt, broke his legs, and was arrested. Le Bas committed suicide. Couthon, who was paralysed from the waist down, was found lying at the bottom of a staircase.[2]
Robespierre was shot in the face, and his jaw was shattered. There are two accounts of how he received the wound. One states that, anticipating his own downfall and wanting to have the death of a hero, Robespierre attempted to kill himself and shattered his own jaw with a shot.[2] The contrary view is that he was shot by one of the Convention's troops. At the time, a gendarme named Charles-André Merda claimed to have pulled the trigger.[3]
Saint-Just made no attempt at suicide or concealment. Hanriot tried to hide in the Hôtel de Ville's yard, by some sources[who?] after being thrown out a window into a stack of latrine and hay, but the Convention troops quickly discovered him and assaulted him badly, allegedly gouging one of his eyes out so that it hung from its socket.[citation needed]
Death of Robespierre[edit]
Robespierre was declared an outlaw, and condemned without judicial process. The following day, 10 Thermidor (28 July 1794), he was executed with 21 of his closest associates, including:[citation needed]
- Adrien-Nicolas Gobeau, ex-substitute of the public prosecutor
- Antoine Gency
- Antoine Simon, gaoler of the Dauphin
- Augustin Robespierre
- Charles-Jacques Bougon
- Christophe Cochefer
- Claude-François de Payan
- Denis-Étienne Laurent, municipal officer
- Étienne-Nicolas Guérin
- François Hanriot, ex-commander of the Parisian National Guard
- Jean-Baptiste de Lavalette, ex-général de brigade
- Jean-Barnabé Dhazard
- Jean-Baptiste Fleuriot-Lescot, mayor of Paris
- Jean-Claude Bernard
- Jean-Etienne Forestier
- Jacques-Louis Frédéric Wouarmé
- Jean-Marie Quenet
- Georges Couthon
- Louis Antoine de Saint-Just
- Nicolas-Joseph Vivier, judge of the Revolutionary Tribunal
- René-François Dumas, ex-president of the Revolutionary Tribunal
Consequences of the Reaction[edit]
The events of 9 Thermidor proved a watershed in the revolutionary process. The Thermidorian regime that followed became, at the very least, less rigid, ending the Reign of Terror and allowing for more individual liberty, especially in areas of religion. At the same time, its economic policies paved the way for rampant inflation. Ultimately, power devolved to the hands of the Directory, an executive of five men who assumed power in France in November 1795 (in year III of the French Revolutionary calendar).
The Thermidorian regime excluded the remaining Montagnards from power, even those who had joined in conspiring against Robespierre and Saint-Just. The White Terror of 1794 resulted in numerous imprisonments and several hundred executions, almost exclusively of people on the political left. These numbers, while significant, were considerably smaller than those associated with the previous Reign of Terror, which killed over 40,000. The executions became more politically motivated (often as instances of revenge against Jacobins) rather than responding to perceived or real threats to the people, as in the previous Terror. Many executions took place without a trial.
Thermidorian regime[edit]
"On July 29 the victor of the 9th Thermidor condemned seventy members of the Paris Commune to death; thereafter the Commune was subject to the Convention"[4]
As part of the reorganization of French politics, practitioners of the terror were called to defend their records, some such as Tallien, Fouché and Fréron rejoined the leadership. Others such as Billaud-Varenne, Collot d'Herbois, Barère & Vadier were sentenced to exile in South America. (Although the last two managed to evade arrest). Many Jacobin clubs were closed. Freedom of worship was extended first to the Vendée and later to all France. On 24 December 1794 the Maximum, (controls on prices and wages), was abolished. The government exacerbated this inflationary move by issuing more assignats.
In April and May of 1795 protests and riots in support of the radicals broke out culminating in an invasion of the Convention by an insurrectionist mob on 20 May. On 22 May the Convention struck back, having troops under Pichegru surround the Faubourg St-Antoine and force the capitulation of the armed rebels. In May and June 1795, a "White Terror" raged in which Jacobins were victims and the judges were bourgeois "Moderates".[5] Throughout France the events of the September Massacres were repeated, however this time the victims were imprisoned officials of the Terror. In Paris, Royalist sentiments were openly tolerated.
Meanwhile, French Armies overran the Netherlands and established the Batavian Republic, occupied the left bank of the Rhine and forced Spain, Prussia and several German States to sue for peace, enhancing the prestige of the Convention. A new constitution was drawn up which eased back some of the democratic elements of the constitution of 1793, establishing an electoral college for the election of officials, a bicameral legislature and other provisions designed to protect the current holders of power. On 5 October (13 Vendémiaire), a revolt led by Royalists challenged the Convention. It was put down by Napoleon with a whiff of grapeshot. On 25 October the Convention declared itself dissolved and was replaced by the French Directory on 2 November.
Other Thermidorian Reactions[edit]
For historians of revolutionary movements, the term Thermidor has come to mean the phase in some revolutions when power slips from the hands of the original revolutionary leadership and a radical regime is replaced by a more conservative regime, sometimes to the point where the political pendulum may swing back towards something resembling a pre-revolutionary state. Leon Trotsky, in his book The Revolution Betrayed, alleges the rise of Joseph Stalin to power was a Soviet Thermidor.

Research Interests
Cellular function and differentiation depend on an ability to read environmental cues and to execute a gene expression program that is appropriate to time, place and context. Nutrient availability is among the most important signals to which cells respond. Importantly, nutrients are not only transmitted from outside an organism, i.e., by feeding, but are also transmitted from cell to cell and from tissue to tissue. Metabolic control of gene expression is critical to the maintenance of cellular longevity. Dysregulation of the nutritional control of gene expression underlies a series of conditions including nondetection of satiety, which can lead to obesity and diabetes, and diseases such as cancer.
Our laboratory is engaged in several projects that dissect specific problems in the metabolic control of gene expression. In particular, we are interested in how changing environmental conditions lead to reversible transfer of two carbon, i.e. acetyl, and one carbon, i.e. methyl, groups to proteins and DNA, respectively. These processes are fundamentally important because two carbon transfers link carbohydrate and fat metabolism to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthesis and because one carbon transfers link the folate cycle and methionine biosynthesis to S-adenosyl methionine metabolism. Trainees in our group are engaged in interdisciplinary projects, performing protein purification, enzymology, structural biology, yeast and somatic cell genetics, genomics, and chemical biology.
For more information on current projects, see the laboratory page.

I understand the big dope is still waiting for Teddy Kennedy to call him back too.
John, why the long face?
Don´t laugh but Kerry was the inspiration for the statues at Eastern Island.
Isn´t there a bust of that long face in Russia or was in Viet Nam? After all he is one of their hero´s along with Jane. What´s the Russian foreign minister thinking?
Maybe the Russkies found his REAL medals. Snicker.
The Russians contacted him through his case officer as usual.
Inside the Kremlin...Aide: Call from Amerika, John Kerry on the line, comrade Lavrov.Sergei: Wasn´t he the operative we codenamed "Genghis?"Aide: Da! He says we owe him some back pay.Sergei: Tell him... tell him the interpreter is out sick today. We´ll get back to him.
Foreign minister is about to have his ketchup cut off.
As Bolton pretty much stated, no bad guys (and most allies) do not fear nor respect the United States government.
You want ketchup on that 5 Star lunch, John?
Pass the grey poupon.
I never thought I´d sympathize with the Russians, but in this case I do. Jenjis John is a pompous arse. I don´t think too many foreign diplomats are thrilled at the idea of communicating with him.
L O LThat is all.
I think #6 is on to something I´ve always wondered about.

Thank you for a very nice (and true to fact) story on Gov. Gardner service to our State. He was a good man and a great example of what leaders can accomplish.
Former Washington State Governor Booth Gardner Passes On
He was a friend to Indian tribes and served two terms as governor of Washington state; Booth Gardner, a democratic, died at the age of 76 on Friday, March 15 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease.
"Governor Booth Gardner was a wonderful man and an exceptionally good governor. He was clearly a very close friend of the tribes, a man who truly understood the great value of establishing and maintaining positive relations with us, on a government-to-government basis, and who had the courage to stand up for what is right," said Fawn Sharp, president of the Quinault Indian Nation and the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, in a statement.
"It was under Booth's leadership that the State of Washington and the Northwest Tribes stepped away from constant court battles into a new era of cooperation in the 1980's. It was he who signed the Centennial Accord with tribal leaders in 1989 and it was he who helped open the door to positive state/tribal relations in places where conflict and polarization existed before," Sharp continued. "Booth Gardner was a brilliant and visionary man. We pray the leadership he provided in his life will live on for generations to come. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and to all the people of Washington who we know will also miss this great and vastly accomplished man."

A public memorial service will be held in Gardner's honor on March 30 at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington.

Photo: Your Favorite Blog/Tumblr
Meet Scott Mackintosh. Dad of the year.
He didn't approve of the way his daughter was dressing. So to show her how ridiculous her short shorts were he started wearing some himself. Then someone took this photo. The internet took over. And now Scott is a viral sensation.
Here's Scott's explanation:
"I know the world has varying degrees of what is modest and what is not when it comes to clothing. In our family we have pretty definite modesty guidelines; No mid-drift or low-cut shirts, no short-shorts, short skirts and we even go as far as saying no sleeveless shirts unless playing sports or on the beach. Having raised four daughters and three sons, I'm a bit protective. Some may call me old fashion, but I call it "A Dad who loves his daughters" (and sons too) I know some of you may be rolling your eyes and that's okay, my daughter does it all the time. I'm a firm believer that the way we dress sends messages about us, and it influences the way we and others act."

'Genz séduit par un timbre superbe, moelleux, mat, grisé, chamarré dans l'aigu, d'un métal splendide et aisé' (Répertoire, France)
This important recording presents, for the first time on disc, all of Hugo Wolf's settings of the poetry of Eichendorff—26 songs in all, several of which seem never to have been recorded before (a fact which is hard to understand because they are very attractive). One of Wolf's favourite writers, Joseph, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788-1857) was the German Romantic poet par excellence and his poems are full of the sounds of nature, the beauty of landscape, religious faith, and much musical imagery, with references to minstrels and other musicians. He was the poet of Schumann's Op 39 Liederkreis, though perhaps the most well-known Eichendorff setting is Im Abendrot from Strauss's Four Last Songs. |

Introduction |
Wolfs Eichendorff songs have never enjoyed the popularity of his more substantial collections: the Mörike-Lieder, the Italienisches Liederbuch, the Goethe-Lieder and the Spanisches Liederbuch. No complete recording exists and critics have complained, erroneously, that the Eichendorff-Lieder lack the emotional and musical weight of his other volumes, that there is only one acknowledged masterpiece (Das Ständchen), that the songs represent the lighter side of Wolfs work, and that they were not composed in the state of feverish creativity which characterized his other collections. Even more damning was the opinion of the chief editor of Breitkopf & Härtel, to whom Wolf had originally sent the songs:
Wolfs lieder are amongst the most absurd things so far produced by the extreme left wing of the New German School [the followers of Wagner], and have nothing in common with what I understand by music except for the basic elements of sound and rhythm. Joseph, Freiherr von Eichendorff had always been one of Wolfs favourite poets. There is a title-page in the Vienna City Library, probably dating from 1878, when Wolf was eighteen, that lists three Romanzen von J von Eichendorff (Der Kehraus, Das zerbrochene Ringlein and Der traurige Jäger), none of which has survived. Other early settings of his verse include a sketch for Verschwiegene Liebe, dating from 1879, whose vocal line bears no resemblance to that of the celebrated second version; and, from 1880, three songsErwartung, Die Nacht and Nachrufthe first two of which were included in the original Eichendorff-Lieder, but omitted from the second edition. The first of these, marked einfach und herzlich, is perhaps the most attractive of Wolfs juvenilia; the falling thirds which accompany the voice accord well with the poems mood of gentle expectation, and though the harmonic texture is unmistakably Brahmsian, especially in the exultant postlude, there is something typically Wolfian about the inflections in the vocal line. Die Nacht, too, with its hypnotic accompaniment, anticipates Wolfs later mastery in songs such as Nachtzauber, but his obvious debt to Schumann, most noticeably in the Zwielicht-like prelude, perhaps explains why he decided to omit the song from the second edition of the Eichendorff-Liederbuchhe had, after all, scribbled over the unfinished score of an early Chamisso song of 1878 too much like Schumann! Wolf next turned to Eichendorffs poetry in April 1881 when, in the throes of breaking off his relationship with Vally Franck, he composed the six beautiful Geistliche Lieder to poems which deal with death, farewell and resignation to Gods will, among them Resignation (Komm, Trost der Welt, du stille Nacht), that Schumann had set so wonderfully as Der Einsiedler. And in the summer of the same year he wrote In der Fremde I (Da fahr ich still im Wagen), the first of three songs with the same title, and the only one which he, as a struggling Kapellmeister in Salzburg, composed in that gloomy year, described in Daten aus meinem Leben as Bruch. Elend. Jammer (Break-up. Misery. Distress). Once again, the influence of Schumann is evident. In der Fremde II was begun in February 1882 and finished in 1883, a year that saw the composition of five lieder, including In der Fremde III and Rückkehr. The theme of all these songs is the one familiar to us from Schumanns celebrated Eichendorff Liederkreis, Op 39: the isolation and loneliness of a traveller returning home, unrecognized and unknown. At this early stage in his career Wolf was still tempted to select the type of Eichendorff poem that Schumann had set with such astonishing insightthe result, however, is hardly satisfactory, for though all three of these poems have lines almost identical to those in Schumanns two In der Fremde songs, Wolfs music, despite much beautiful detail, fails to crystallize and convince. Small wonder, then, that when in 1888 he decided to compose a complete Eichendorff cycle, he turned his back on the themes of nostalgia and loneliness and concentrated instead on the picaresque gallery of soldiers, students, sailors and minstrels that had until then been ignored by all song composers of Eichendorffs poetry. But 1888 was still four years hence. After the completion of In der Fremde III (30 January 1883) there followed a fallow period of almost four and a half years which began with the death of his idol Wagner in February 1883 and the rejection by Breitkopf & Härtel of a proposed volume of lieder. He was deeply depressed and compelled to eke out a living as a music critic, which left little time for composition. In these four bleak years only three songs were written, including Der Soldat II (14 December 1886), a theatrical tour de force that counsels a carpe diem attitude to life and depicts the onset of death in a succession of repeated phrases, whispered sepulchrally, as the songWolfs shortest in duration?pants to an ominous close. Nibelungs anvils can be heard in the prelude and the whole atmosphere of the song reminds us of Wagner. Yet it is also wholly Wolfian in feel, and a wonderful example of what great lieder can accomplish here, the reducing of an operatic idea to its essence, a hint of things to come. The five songs which he composed to Eichendorff texts between March and May 1887 are of the same high artistic order, and again we glimpse the genius that is about to explode into song. In Der Soldat I composed on 7 March, Wolf is clearly captivated by the prancing of the little horse that takes him to his beloveds castle and, when she becomes too possessive and demanding, away into the open countryside and freedomEichendorff puns on the word Freien, which means both wooing and out in the open. Exactly one year later, on 7 March 1888, Wolf was to create another unforgettable prancing motif in Mörikes Der Gärtner. It is remarkable how in the Eichendorff song the little motif undergoes subtle changes: staccato and self-confident at the outset, lilting and tender at Die mir besser gefällt, and then robust and arrogant in the final verse as he abandons his fawning sweetheart. There is a striking resemblance between this music and Wolfs Italian Serenade for string quartet composed two months later, which also owes its conception to Eichendorff, whose Novelle Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts not only contains an Italian serenade but also a poem (Wer in die Fremde will wandern) that Wolf was to set in 1888 as Heimweh. Having completed Der Soldat I, Wolf set three Eichendorff poems, Die Kleine (8 March 1887), Die Zigeunerin (19 March) and Waldmädchen (20 April), all of which depict women as independent beings, in charge of their own destiny. Die Zigeunerin, with its deliciously flirtatious melismatic triplets, was included in the first edition of the Eichendorff-Lieder, which Wolf chose to end with Waldmädchen, whose virtuosic postlude, marked sehr schnell and, in the final bars diminuendo (pp to pppp within four bars), he presumably regarded as a brilliant climax to his volume. Die Zigeunerin was retained in the second edition of 1898, while Waldmädchen was omitted by the composer, who by that time had written, in the Mörike volume, fairy music of incomparable delicacy. Die Kleine was not published during Wolfs lifetime since Wolf clearly felt that the lubricious text might offend. The other Eichendorff setting of 1887 is Nachtzauber; marked sanft fliessend and steeped in the sort of romantic enchantment that had so appealed to Schumann. The whole song flows along hypnotically, with a swaying accompaniment that almost seems to anticipate Debussy. Written on 24 May, Nachtzauber was virtually the last work composed by Wolf that year. His father had died a fortnight before and he now fell prey to a creative paralysis that was broken only the following year by the eruption of Mörike songs that flowed from his pen between 22 February and 18 May. He then decided to postpone the completion of the Mörike-Lieder and finish instead the Eichendorff volume that he had begun, as we have seen, in 1880 with the composition of Erwartung and Die Nacht. The rate of composition was, once again, remarkable: in quick succession he wrote thirteen new songs between 31 August and 29 September, and no fewer than ten in the week from 22 to 29 September. In a letter to Engelbert Humperdinck, dated 12 March 1891, he made it clear that, following the current trend of realism (übereinstimmend mit der realistischen Kunstrichtung), he wished to abandon the romantic element in Eichendorffs poetry and turn instead to the comparatively unknown, the saucily humorous and robustly sensual side of the poet (der ziemlich unbekannten, keck humoristischen, derb-sinnlichen Seite des Dichters). And a glance at Challiers Grosser Lieder-Katalog tells us that he was the first lieder composer to have attended to this side of Eichendorffs poetry. The songs are a delight. At the head of the published volume he placed Der Freund, a tribute to his friends (Eichendorffs original poem was actually called Die Freunde) who had helped defray the cost of publication (Friedrich Eckstein) and had encouraged him through his depression (Edmund Lang and others, like Joseph and Friedrich Schalk, to whom the volume was dedicated). To make even clearer his indebtedness to such friends, he followed the opening song with Der Musikant, a sort of humorous self-portrait, with lute arpeggios in the accompaniment and a delicious modulation to a remote key at Weiss nicht, wo ich abends ruh!, which conveys the minstrels fear of spending the night without a roof over his head. Next comes Verschwiegene Liebe which, despite Wolfs resolve to embrace realism, is the most romantic and Schumannesque song of the volume. The poem dates from 1855 and Eichendorff later incorporated it into his verse narrative Robert und Guiscard where it is sung by Guiscard who, standing at his open window in the moonlight, breathes in the scent of lilac, senses his sweetheart Marie nearby, and sings the song from the depths of his heart. Errät es nur Eine, Wer an sie gedacht clearly refers to Marie, but Wolf was probably thinking of Melanie Köchert with whom he was already emotionally, and clandestinely, involved. The song, according to Wolfs first biographer Ernst Decsey, was composed in one single flash of inspiration. Wolf, with a book of Eichendorff poems in his hand, was walking up and down Friedrich Ecksteins garden immersing himself in the mood of the poem. Unable to bear the noise of the nearby factory, and disturbed by whistling in the courtyard and the persistent sound of carpet-beating from another house, he turned about, entered the house, went up to Ecksteins room, sat down at the piano, put the book of poems aside, and wrote out the complete song with hardly a pause for breath. Das Ständchen is a serenade quite unlike any other. The title refers to the song sung by a young student outside his sweethearts door, but we only hear his serenade as a lute accompaniment in the piano part as it plays snatches of melody and pizzicato notes in the right hand. Dolce is the crucial marking, for the young student is happy and in love. This contrasts with the sad utterances in the vocal line of the old man, who looks on distraught, as he is reminded of the happiness that he used to enjoy before his sweetheart died. He sings a sort of recitative, often on repeated notes, that never really coalesces into song, so that the contrast with the blithe serenader is made even more poignant; never, that is, until at So in meinen jungen Tagen, when the vocal line heartbreakingly echoes the lute-like accompaniment, reminding the old man of his own past happinessan unforgettable moment that strikes to the heart. This masterpiece is followed by Der Soldat I, Der Soldat II, Die Zigeunerin and Nachtzauber that have already been discussed. Two swashbuckling songs, composed within three days of each other, come next: Der Schreckenberger and Der Glücksritter, characterized by rhythmic energy and enormous panache. Wolf obviously conceived them as a pair, since the processional theme at the end of the first setting, marked pompös and fff, is repeated in the postlude of the second. Der Schreckenberger, which appeared in Eichendorffs Novelle Der Glücksritter, was inspired by the wildness of the Rettenbach region around Ischl, and Der Glücksritter was actually committed to manuscript paper as Wolf rode in a mail-coach to Rinnbach. Wolfs heightened mood of creativity is also evident in the next two songs that were composed on the same day, 29 September. Lieber alles reviews the possibility of becoming a soldier, a student or a poet. Each profession is rejected in turn, for he wants to combine elements of all threehence the title, which states that hed rather have them all. And so he sets out on his horse with a sturdy sword at his side, a lute in his right hand, and a students heart within his breast that would duel with anyone. Wolf illustrates the quixotic nature of the young man in the quick succession of different motifs in the prelude, and conveys his distaste for each profession by clever musical means: the mention of soldiery is punctuated by a rest; the singer is instructed to slow down (zurückhaltend) when he describes study; and to depict the prissiness of writing poetry, the pianist is given a succession of chirping semitones that twitter away ineffectually. Heimweh, with its walking rhythm, tuneful melody and wonderful setting of the word weit (on a tied melisma over one-and-a-half bars, to show just how distant his sweetheart and homeland are) has always been one of Wolfs most popular Eichendorff settings, but not always for the right reasons. At one of the first performances of the Eichendorff-Lieder, on 7 February 1889, Wolf was accompanying Ferdinand Jäger in a performance of Heimweh in the Wagner-Verein when, after the phrase Grüss dich, Deutschland, aus Herzensgrund!, a roar of applause broke out among the Grossdeutschen in the audience, drowning the postlude. Wolf was furious. He slammed down the piano lid and shouted vitriolically at the offending audience: Und das im Wagner-Verein! (And in the Wagner-Verein of all places!). The concert was interrupted and the Grossdeutschen walked out. The same offending line occasioned another amusing anecdote, as Hermann Prey recalls in Premierenfieber. During the interval of a lieder recital with Alfred Brendel in Wiesbaden, Brendel, who had not warmed to the rather conservative audience, offered Prey fifty Marks if he dared change the last line of Heimweh to Grüss dich, Sarah, aus Herzensgrund!. Prey did not accept the challenge. The next two songs are sung by a student content in Der Scholar, despairing in Der verzweifelte Liebhaber. The former is one of Wolfs most delightful lieder. The student in question is content whatever he does: listening to the birds, the pattering rain or the flashing lightning. Nothing, he says, could deter him from wandering. Free from Mammon, hell roam the field of knowledge, think deeply and occasionally drink a glass or two of wine. And when he tires of such study he will serenade his sweetheart. While this sybaritic existence is conveyed by Wolfs memorable melody for voice and right hand, the left hand is busy interpreting the text in other ways. The quavers are played staccato throughout the first verse, inspired no doubt by the mention of raindrops, and then legato in verse two to convey the idea of a zufriedenes Gemüt, a contented heart. They return again at the exciting idea of alcohol, but at Rebensaft, in other words when the wine has been quaffed, the pianist is instructed to play nicht stacc.the mellowing effect of wine has already been felt! The final verse, which starts by describing the fatigue of work, has no need of staccato quavers eitheruntil he decides to serenade his sweetheart and pluck the strings. The poem appears in Eichendorffs Novelle Dichter und ihre Gesellen where in Chapter VI the hero Fortunat hears the first two verses sung by a troupe of minstrels who have been surprised by a thunderstorm; verses three and four are sung as they find shelter in a town. The student in Der verzweifelte Liebhaber expresses his despair in a succession of recitative phrases, interrupted by harsh chords: study earns him nothing, his coats unstitched, his zithers broken and his sweetheart doesnt love him. He then starts to fantasize, the quavers begin to flow, and he imagines himself walking through a meadow on the arm of the most beautiful lady. The music continues in tongue-in-cheek self-parody: disguised as a dragon (octave quavers), he carries her off and, equipped with armour and lance, puts all the philistines to rout and finally lies down contentedly (dotted minims played piano) beneath the sky. Unfall, a burlesque, perhaps, of Mozarts Dans un bois solitaire, tells how the narrator, while going for a walk across country, meets a little boy with a gun in his hand. When he confronts the fellow, the little imp (Cupid in disguise) fires at him so that he falls flat on his face. Discovering the identity of his assailant, the narrator grows thoroughly indignant and cross. The little poem is an ideal vehicle for the Wolfian wit which the composer lavishes on us. The deadpan narration starts in tragic D?minor with square-cut phrases, until the narrator starts to run (quavers turn to triplet semiquavers) towards his attacker who fires his gun to the accompaniment of a sforzando dissonant seventh chord. As he falls to the ground the vocal line becomes fragmented and Cupid laughs at him in a flurry of triplet semiquavers. Liebesglück (the poem is called Der Glückliche in Eichendorff) describes the rapture that fills a lovers heart when his sweetheart gazes on him. Its an exuberant and rhythmically vigorous song which needs a singer with considerable breath control and stamina to perform, and a pianist who does not wilt under the pressure of hammering out the dactylic rhythm in both hands. The collection ends with a farewell, Seemanns Abschied, yet another song that allows Wolf to display his gift for pictorial touches such as the pounding waves (bass octaves), the snapping of shark jaws, the scream of seagulls, and also his remarkable ability to conjure up atmospherea seascape reeking of tang and spray and redolent of lashing winds, that we hear in the very first bar of the boisterous prelude, which caused Bruckner, when Wolf showed him the song, to cry out in amazement: Teufel! woher haben Sie den Akkord! (Where the devil did you get that chord from?). Richard Stokes © 1998 |

This is the left-most of three closely spaced routes on the short steep section of rock. A distinct steep crux down low on dark edges and pockets is the business while the upper section lets off on the difficulty. Still, the climb is pumpy enough to warm you up for harder climbs.
From the main approach Trail go left to a short area of the wall, steep and pocketed. There are presently 3 sport routes there. From right to left these are: Into the Light (10c), Sunshine (9+) and Moonbeam (9).
5 bolts to a bolt and chain anchor.
about 3/4 up the route there is a hold unlike any i have seen. it looks like a short section of say five inch diameter pipe. it's made entirely of bullet hard patina/iron oxide, and it just rests in the back of this large ledge/lip. you can stick your whole hand through it and grab it like an undercling or sidepull. amazing!!!
Don't grab it to hard! Agreed, it's amazing. I always try to describe this hold to people and fail miserably.
It's a blood pressure cuff. Get up there and stick your arm through it to see if you are sufficiently warmed up. It's also a touch loose, so be gentle.

When the first Prospector came into service on November 29, 1971, television and cinema advertising hailed it as a modern rail link to Western Australia's Goldfields frontier. It was WA's great rail journey; to be taken in relaxed comfort. In many respects, that train ride represented a greater leap forward for its time than the new Prospector which commenced service in June 2004. Importantly, the Prospector marked the switch from narrow to standard gauge rail on this line, cutting the travel time and increasing ride comfort.
It was Australia's fastest train and the first to offer an 'airline style' full-meal service. The 14-hour overnight journey endured by passengers on the old Kalgoorlie Express, a diesel (originally steam) locomotive-hauled train with carriages and sleeping compartments, was cut to less than eight hours.
In terms of the original Prospector one point is very clear. After 33 years of transporting about 2.6 million passengers and travelling more than 20 million kilometres on the journey between Perth and Kalgoorlie, the Prospector has earned pride of place in WA rail history.
Transwa patrons can now experience a super-smooth ride on the most sophisticated, passenger-friendly train service in Australia – the Prospector.
The state-of-the-art high speed Prospector, introduced into service on June 28, 2004, can travel at up to 160km/hour, enabling it to complete the 653km trip from Perth to Kalgoorlie in under 7 hours. The Prospector, which has been operating for 7 years, recently reached the milestone of having travelled 1.5 million kilometres.
Standard features include a new on demand entertainment system with personal music channels and new release movies, access to power points for laptop computers, buffet and special facilities for people with mobility difficulties. The Prospector forms part of Transwa's regional rail service.
Passengers to note: Burracoppin, Hines Hill, Koolyanobbing, Carrabin and Bodallin are all low level platforms. Passengers are required to use stairs in order to board and/or detrain at these stations.

Lion's Field is truly a multipurpose center, offering a variety of classes and programs. Classes are small enough to provide social opportunities and individual attention from instructors. Special events and holiday celebrations occur frequently.
This center offers an assortment of great programs and activities:
Coming up:
Saturday, Dec. 7
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Handmade and Homegrown
Handcrafted Items, Art and Plant Sale. A gathering of local artists, artisans and exhibitors will sell original, handmade items such as pottery, art glass, jewelry, paintings, fiber arts and more. Plant rowers will offer a variety of succulents and cacti.
The land that includes Lion's Field, 2908 Broadway, was once a pasture for George W. Brackenridge's collection of animals, including buffalo and elk. The property belonged to Brackenridge's San Antonio Water Supply Company, which he sold in 1906 to owners who kept the land until 1916. Guided by Parks Commissioner Ray Lambert, the City purchased the property for $30,000 so that ". . . the natural beauty of the park will not be spoiled. . . . "
The land remained undeveloped until 1923 when the Lions Club of San Antonio, the largest Lions Club in the world, selected the site for a supervised playground to be built by the club as a gift to the City. The club pledged $10,000 to construct the playground and also committed to build a clubhouse with rest rooms, showers, lockers and an auditorium. The City committed $15,000 to the project.
When it was opened on October 1, 1925, the playground was hailed as "one of the best in the United States." Over 10,000 people attended the opening, including 1,000 children who took part in a huge game of tag. Lion's Field has remained an active recreation center, now geared toward Senior Citizens, for 72 years. It is guarded by a proud marble lion designed by San Antonio's master sculptor and Lions Club member, Louis Rodriguez. On its base, the lion stands eight feet tall, is 14 feet long and is made of Italian marble.
The lion, which had been a Broadway landmark since 1925, was completely knocked off its base and lost all four legs and its tail after a tree fell on it during the July 2002 floods.
It was returned after a six month absence after being restored by Lupe Rodriguez of Rodriguez Brothers Memorial. He is the nephew of the original sculptor, Louis Rodriguez.

Klemesrud, Judy. "They wait hours--to be shocked." New York Times on the Web 27 Jan 1974.
University of Pennsylvania Library, Philadelphia 9 May 2008.
This is a NY Times article written about a month after The Exorcist was released in theatres. Klemesrud stood in a massively long line, interviewing ticketholders and employees at Manhattan's Cinema I complex. She found out that previous moviegoers had not only vomited, but also hurriedly left, fainted, screamed, endured heart attacks—and one even reportedly had a miscarriage due to the horrific scenes.
Many people waited for up to twelve hours to be able to see how the impossible would be represented on screen. The crowds wanted to see flying objects, spinning heads, levitation, and not to mention the morbid scenes capturing blood, vomit, guts, and gore. Several fans wondered if parts of the book would actually be represented in the film—such as the taboo masturbation-with-the-cross incident and gratuitous language use, among other possibilities.
Some of the interviewees were seeing the movie for the third or fourth time. In fact, one reported feeling "contaminated" when they left the theatre, unable to get rid of the images and feelings aroused during previous views. Even though he had been having terrifying dreams ever since, he still wanted to see it again because of its extreme shock factor.
People leaving the theatre commented on how accurate the film was in comparison to the book, and remarked how "there's nothing else like it". Klemesrud goes on to quote a Chicago newspaper, which reported a psychiatric hospital admitting six people who had seen the film.
In considering this historical report, The Exorcist seems to have realistically transmitted a sense of fear and threat; so much so that it managed to provoke all of these reactions and predicaments among its viewers. It can be inferred that the cinematic techniques employed throughout the film played a large role in bringing about these truly terrifying sentiments. Had these special effects not been believable and successful in capturing people's greatest fears, the film would not have been enjoying so much box office prosperity.

An international meeting was held in Tunis from 30 September to 2 October in which the CGT participated. The meeting was organized by Tunisian comrades from the Popular Liberation Front of Tunisia. [Castellano] Tunis: International meeting on the strugglesAn international meeting was held in Tunis from 30 September to 2 October in which the CGT participated. The meeting was organized by Tunisian comrades from the Popular Liberation Front of Tunisia and had to overcome the problem of a last-minute refusal by the Minister for Youth to allow the meeting to take place in the Menzah youth centre as planned. At last however the plenary sessions took place at the Ibn Rachid cultural centre in the centre of Tunis. Workshops were held on precarity, unemployment, self-organization, art and urbanism, universities, knowledge and culture, migration, debt, networks and autonomous communications.
Here is a translation of the final resolution and the summary (in French) of the workshop on debt, precarity and unemployment.
Final DeclarationWe are all engaged in the mobilizations and movements against all the tyrants and regimes of global finance capitalism, in North Africa and in Europe. We are seeking to build a new transnational space by linking up the various local struggles, and new forms of organization which go beyond and against the autocratic regimes and the system of political representation. No-one represents us. Over these four days, we discussed precarity, unemployment, self-organization, art and urbanism, universities, knowledge and culture, migration, debt, networks and autonomous media. The workshops were held in Tunis, Sidi Bou Saïd, Regueb and Sidi Bouzid, Hammam-Lif and Sousse. A website will be launched in order to coordinate our efforts and enlarge our network: http://international.r02.org. A large transnational meeting will take place once a year and thematic meetings will take place whenever necessary in order to improve the network. We propose to hold the next thematic meeting in early 2012. We will be taking an active part in the global day of action, United for Change, on 15 October. In our struggles and in the occupation of public places we proclaim: WIpe out the debt! No more austerity! Knowledge is a common good! Freedom of movement for all! No-ones besides ourselves represents us!
We will not pay for your crisis Whatever happens, I am here to stay! Erhel! Get out! Que se vayan todos!

Around 30 local residents gathered in the meeting room of Boulevard East's Versailles building in West New York on Sunday, bearing protest signs and their concerns over a high-rise building proposed to be built in a lot zoned for mid-rise development across the street.
Virginia Datto, a lifelong resident in her eighties who spends her days caring for her ailing husband, was among those gathered that evening. To say she has an intimate interest in the project would be an understatement. The two-family home she has lived in for 59 years lies a literal few inches south of the lot set to house the thirteen-story Meridia Le Boulevard residential complex.
Many years prior, a mid-rise apartment complex was built so close to the south of her home, nothing but wind can pass through; a wind, she says, that has risen to epic proportions ever since the high-rise Versailles was built across the street.
"The proposed development is one of the worst I've seen in terms of breaking every zoning requirement they can." – Judith Courtney
"It's ridiculous," she said. "My property is 50' by 150,' and theirs is 100' by 150.'Where is my privacy? What will happen to my trees? It used to be so beautiful here, and now it's just too much."
Datto said that a representative from Capodagli Properties met with her two weeks prior to discuss her concerns, and asked if she'd be willing to sell her home.
"Would I consider selling the house my mother and father built in 1953?" she posited. "Only if it would prevent a high-riser next door."
Capodagli Properties did not return a phone call by press time.
The concerns of citizens
Those who attended the meeting shared a similar sentiment: they don't necessarily oppose the development of the former Exxon Mobil station that now lies unused on the corner of 67th Street, but they do oppose a development that breaks the zoning laws they believe have been established for good reason.
Resident and lawyer Eileen Tulipan has seen developers attempt to change the law to suit their building needs before. "They don't actually expect 20 variances to be granted," she said. "Maybe just half or less than half. We cannot accept that. Our position must be 'no.'"
Though the area is zoned for mid-rise buildings with a maximum height of 135 feet and 12 stories, Meridia Le Boulevard would stand at 150 feet and 13 stories. It would provide 123 rental units (the area is zoned for 69) and include 107 parking spaces on a 100 ft.-wide lot (the current law requires 132) which is half the required width.
Residents were most disturbed by the proposed increase in lot coverage, which would require an increase from 75 to 95.5 percent.
"The proposed development is one of the worst I've seen in terms of breaking every zoning requirement they can," Hudson-Meadowlands Sierra Club Chair Judith Courtney said during the protest. "The communities that would be affected are not communicating on the impact this would have on everyone."
For instance, Courtney said, no one has truly considered how the new development would impact the traffic on Boulevard East, specifically in regard to city commuters. Coalition to Preserve the Palisades Cliffs President Peggy Wong travels daily between her North Bergen home and her job in Manhattan. Her commute, she says, has increased significantly over the years and has caused undue stress.
"The open secret is that we are being governed by home rule," Wong said. "The county defers to the town, and during town planning hearings they claim it's not within their jurisdiction. These issues are bounced back and forth and no one is taking responsibility."
Standing together for their community
The residents who have banded together against the high-rise, spearheaded in February by West New York resident Joshua Breakstone, have compiled a website: www.concerned-citizens.net. The site outlines the variances required, the impact on local quality of life, and calls others to join the cause.
They've attended several zoning board meetings since, and plan to continue to do so. After the initial discussion session held at the Versailles, the residents took signs and spirit across the street in front of the proposed location of Meridia le Boulevard and appealed to passersby to preserve the neighborhood and its green spaces; an appeal, Versailles resident Rose Puerto explained to those gathered, that is written right into the West New York Zoning Law handbook.
"They've touted this as a green project," Breakstone explained. "What they're doing is trading 70 and 80-year-old green trees for a green ivy-clad, concrete wall." He believes if the variances are granted, it may set a precedent that could completely destroy quality of life in the Hudson-side community extending far beyond West New York.
"Many of us have chosen to live on this side of the Hudson because we prefer not to live in an environment like Manhattan," Courtney explained. "I'm concerned that if this degree of development continues, we're going to see a reverse migration back to the city."
The next meeting of the West New York zoning board will be held at Town Hall on May 31 at 6:30 p.m.
