I am crying reading this. My heart hurts. We have lost hope, love, and a better world as a result of Phoebe's death. I feel her desperation and pain. I wish she could have gotten help, counseling, or left the school. Where were her parents when she was so vulnerable, didn't they have any idea??? I am SO sorry this happened.

When I first read about Phoebe, I was, and still am, very upset. I believe these students should be punished and not just a slap on the wrist. Their parents should be punished as well. They raised these monsters. My oldest son was bullied in middle school because he was small for his age and we were not "townies". I talked to his teachers about kids kicking his back pack out from under his seat while in class. Their answer that that is what kids do. I spoke to the principal. He was insulted that I implied that his kids weren't nice kids. He said that he can take his students anywhere and all he has to do is threaten them to act nice. What a crock! We did put our son in a private school and the town was insulted that we took him out of their wonderful school. Very few of the townies move anywhere else to live. They're afraid that they won't get along and that they will be treated nasty.
The administration and teachers should be held accountable. Of course they are going to deny that they knew anything about the bullying. They are covering their own asses. Unfortunately they will probably get slapped on their wrists and they will move on. I don't know how they can sleep at night.
Phoebe is with God now and at peace. The bullies, their parents, administrators, and teachers have their judgement day.

When I was a schoolboy, I got a lot of stick in the schoolyard for being one the best footballers playing for the school. The taunting did bother me, almost made me stop playing sports but my father said those words to me "Sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you". For me, his advice was right, I got stuck back in and went on to win many medals – the first, despite being captain of the losing side in a final, was for 'Best Player of the Tournament". I received a standing ovation from my classmates' then and I remember bursting into tears at their appreciation! That first medal is still my most treasured although I have quite a few league and championship medals in my collection. Tragically for Phoebe, God rest her, the advice might never have worked but it should for most. One should think that what others think of you is not your problem, it's theirs.

A bible verse comes to mind. Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue...
I believe the best advice for parents to help your teen through this transition from child to adult, would be to live your lives as an example for your children. They may not admit it, but, they are watching you very close. Stay in there with them supporting them every step of the way. Learning how you respond and act to negative situations teaches them how to handle problems in their own life. When out of control kids at school bully; what they say and do, effect us, we all remember them in our lives. What makes the difference, are the adults that were there for us in our corner. I have two children in college, it was my mission to be there for them. This case with Phoebe, hits all of us parents hard. May the picture of her young smile and eyes of hope represent all of the children who need a helping hand from us adults.

"Sticks and stones can break my bones,
but names will never hurt me." It's important for parents to teach their kids that what the kid thinks about himself is what's important, not what others think. Knowing one's own truth is essential. Too bad Phoebe didn't have parents who were doing their job.

Words have the power to shape us and define who we become and it is often the negative words that we remember most. Words can't harm Phoebe Prince any more-she is at peace but if we learn nothing else from her story we must learn that words have impact and we must teach ourselves and each other to use them wisely.

It's a terrible shame that some kids can be so cruel. It's always been like that as I remember back in school. It's just heart breaking that this poor child took her life because of ignorant kids.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Changed in version 2.2.
MongoDB allows multiple clients to read and write a single corpus of data using a locking system to ensure that all clients receive the same view of the data and to prevent multiple applications from modifying the exact same pieces of data at the same time. Locks help guarantee that all writes to a single document occur either in full or not at all.
MongoDB uses a readers-writer [1] lock that allows concurrent reads access to a database but gives exclusive access to a single write operation.
When a read lock exists, many read operations may use this lock. However, when a write lock exists, a single write operation holds the lock exclusively, and no other read or write operations may share the lock.
Locks are "writer greedy," which means writes have preference over reads. When both a read and write are waiting for a lock, MongoDB grants the lock to the write.
[1] | You may be familiar with a "readers-writer" lock as "multi-reader" or "shared exclusive" lock. See the Wikipedia page on Readers-Writer Locks for more information. |
Changed in version 2.2.
Beginning with version 2.2, MongoDB implements locks on a per-database basis for most read and write operations. Some global operations, typically short lived operations involving multiple databases, still require a global "instance" wide lock. Before 2.2, there is only one "global" lock per mongod instance.
For example, if you have six databases and one takes a write lock, the other five are still available for read and write.
For reporting on lock utilization information on locks, use any of the following methods:
Specifically, the locks document in the output of serverStatus, or the locks field in the current operation reporting provides insight into the type of locks and amount of lock contention in your mongod instance.
To terminate an operation, use db.killOp().
In some situations, read and write operations can yield their locks.
Long running read and write operations, such as queries, updates, and deletes, yield under many conditions. In MongoDB 2.0, operations yielded based on time slices and the number of operations waiting for the actively held lock. After 2.2, more adaptive algorithms allow operations to yield based on predicted disk access (i.e. page faults).
New in version 2.0: Read and write operations will yield their locks if the mongod receives a page fault or fetches data that is unlikely to be in memory. Yielding allows other operations that only need to access documents that are already in memory to complete while mongod loads documents into memory.
Additionally, write operations that affect multiple documents (i.e. update() with the multi parameter) will yield periodically to allow read operations during these long write operations. Similarly, long running read locks will yield periodically to ensure that write operations have the opportunity to complete.
Changed in version 2.2: The use of yielding expanded greatly in MongoDB 2.2. Including the "yield for page fault." MongoDB tracks the contents of memory and predicts whether data is available before performing a read. If MongoDB predicts that the data is not in memory a read operation yields its lock while MongoDB loads the data to memory. Once data is available in memory, the read will reacquire the lock to complete the operation.
Changed in version 2.2.
The following table lists common database operations and the types of locks they use.
Operation | Lock Type |
Issue a query | Read lock |
Get more data from a cursor | Read lock |
Insert data | Write lock |
Remove data | Write lock |
Update data | Write lock |
Map-reduce | Read lock and write lock, unless operations are specified as non-atomic. Portions of map-reduce jobs can run concurrently. |
Create an index | Building an index in the foreground, which is the default, locks the database for extended periods of time. |
db.eval() | Write lock. db.eval() blocks all other JavaScript processes. |
eval | Write lock. If used with the nolock lock option, the eval option does not take a write lock and cannot write data to the database. |
aggregate() | Read lock |
Certain administrative commands can exclusively lock the database for extended periods of time. In some deployments, for large databases, you may consider taking the mongod instance offline so that clients are not affected. For example, if a mongod is part of a replica set, take the mongod offline and let other members of the set service load while maintenance is in progress.
The following administrative operations require an exclusive (i.e. write) lock on the database for extended periods:
The following administrative commands lock the database but only hold the lock for a very short time:
The following MongoDB operations lock multiple databases:
Sharding improves concurrency by distributing collections over multiple mongod instances, allowing shard servers (i.e. mongos processes) to perform any number of operations concurrently to the various downstream mongod instances.
Each mongod instance is independent of the others in the shard cluster and uses the MongoDB readers-writer lock. The operations on one mongod instance do not block the operations on any others.
In replication, when MongoDB writes to a collection on the primary, MongoDB also writes to the primary's oplog, which is a special collection in the local database. Therefore, MongoDB must lock both the collection's database and the local database. The mongod must lock both databases at the same time to keep the database valid and ensure that write operations, even with replication, are "all-or-nothing" operations.
In replication, MongoDB does not apply writes serially to secondaries. Secondaries collect oplog entries in batches and then apply those batches in parallel. Secondaries do not allow reads while applying the write operations, and apply write operations in the order that they appear in the oplog.
MongoDB can apply several writes in parallel on replica set secondaries, in two phases:

.NET StockTrader Sample Application announcements
The new 6.0 version, which can live side-by-side with the 5.5 version, is now live. Visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/stocktrader to download the source code with automated setup wizard.
You can read the technical whitepaper about it, including the mobile client architecture, and support for SQL Database Federation here.
You can view the application running live on Windows Azure (new HTML 5/MVC client) at https://azurestocktrader6.cloudapp.net; or the classic ASP.NET Web Forms client at https://azurestocktrader6classic.cloudapp.net.
The download also includes Configuration Service 6.0, which adds support for Azure Service Bus. You can access ConfigWeb 6.0 to explore the live deployment at https://azureconfigweb6.cloudapp.net.
The updated StockTrader 5.5 sample is now available for download and setup. This replaces the 5.0 release of StockTrader. The installer can be downloaded from https://azurestocktrader.cloudapp.net or http://msdn.microsoft.com/stocktrader.
This new download includes the new Configuration Service 5.5 assemblies and ConfigWeb 5.5. Configuration Service 5.5 is backward compatible with 5.0 configuration repositories. You will want to rebuild solutions implementing Configuration Service 5.0 with the new 5.5 shared libraries.
StockTrader 5.5 What's New
The big change is support for Windows Azure SQL Database Federations. Federations allows horizontal partitioning, also called sharding, of the Azure SQL Database data tier. You will note that we have also split the previously single database into two separate physical databases: a QuoteDB and an AccountDB. By default after install, neither will be federated. You can use the new \stocktrader\builds\SQL_Loader\TradeSQLLoader.exe to create new QuoteDB/AccountDB databases, and choose the number of federation members when creating the initial databases. You can then deploy (to Azure) and then use the \stocktrader\databaseloaders\TradeSQLAzureLoader application to load data into the federated databases.
The single DAL layer works now against on-premises SQL Server (including SQL Server running in an Azure Virtual Machine); non-federated Windows Azure SQL Database, and federated Azure SQL Databases.
Configuration Service 5.5 What's New
Configuration Service 5.5 has various bug fixes, and especially enhancements to the SQL retry logic in the SQLHelper Class. Solutions using Configuration Service 5.0 should be upgraded to the new 5.5 assemblies, as well minor updates have been made to ConfigWeb.
Coming Soon: StockTrader 6.0
Within the next few weeks, a new version of StockTrader will also be available: StockTrader 6.0. StockTrader 6.0 does not replace StockTrader 5.5; but rather is a new Azure-only implementation, and it is not backward compatible with 5.5. You will be able to do side-by-side installs. Both will remain on the MSDN site. The coming Config Service 6.0 version adds support for Windows Azure Service Bus bindings, and StockTrader 6.0 can optionally be configured to use Service Bus and reliable messaging for order processing. In addition, RESTFUL web services are used in the new Business Logic layer, and the service can serve as the cloud-based backend for new StockTrader 6.0 clients that will be included in the download: Windows 8 Modern UI client; HTML5 ASP.NET/MVC client, Windows Phone client, Android client, and IPhone client.
If you have setup issues, or questions about the sample once it is installed this is the place to post them. Thank you!

Wedding Planning Community - Wedding News Forums & Blogs
The bride & groom take up vow in an enchanting environment of religious hymn to stand by each other in thick and thin. Dressed in expensive traditional attire the couples take seven circles around the sacred fire (known as Pheras). With each round, they take vows to follow the religious path; do right means to earn wealth; help poor and needy people, protect home and family; provide good education to children, promise to stand by each other; respect and love each other unconditionally. The religious ceremony gives a new meaning to the wedding and brings couples closer. This is the reason people are coming to India to tie the knot in traditional Hindu custom.
Tradition weddings are still in fashion in some parts of the globe. People believe that wedding in traditional way give a memorable touch of your culture to your wedding. Some wedding planners provide traditional theme weddings where everything from decoration to dressing of bride and groom is traditional. Even in the era of Internet people give traditional invitation cards to relatives for inviting them to the wedding.

Online holiday shopping at work may be huge drain on time, bandwidth
With the official start of the holidays upon us, what are you workers really doing?
Computerworld - With Black Friday just a week away and the nagging feeling that we need to get our holiday shopping done, how much online buying will be done at work?
If it's not, this is the question that should be on IT managers' minds, according to some industry analysts. If workers are busy buying iPad tablets on sites like Apple.com, or scarves on LLBean.com or Amazon.com, employee productivity could plummet as fast as winter temperatures.
That's not to mention what all that holiday shopping during office hours could mean for office bandwidth.
"We know it's going to happen. I think it's unavoidable," said Jim Melvin, president and CEO of AppNeta, a performance management company based in Boston. "We take our work home with us and we take our lives into work. If it's my laptop and I'm at work and I'm having a coffee break, I'm going to get my shopping done. We're seeing more and more of this blending of work and home life."
That blending, said Melvin and industry analysts, is exacerbated by the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend.
With workers using their own smartphones and tablets for work, they are feeling more free to use them to check off items on their holiday shopping lists during work hours. After all, they figure they can do what they want on their own device.
The issue, though, is that they're using the company network and, often, they're shopping on company time.
"I'm sure in my company it's only on their coffee break but outside of my company I think people are shopping when the mood strikes them," Melvin joked. "There's no question that bring your own device accentuates people's tendency for shopping while they're at work."
Frank Gillett, an analyst with Forrester, said there's a definite blurring of lines between work and personal life that affects what people do during office hours, and shopping is no exception.
"Face it, we're more connected," said Gillett. "There's simply more opportunity out there for people to try to figure out how to juggle your work/life balance.
Another factor affecting how much online shopping people will do at work is the fact that shoppers are expected to do a lot more of their holiday buying online this year.

'A substantial gourmet feast of masterly pianism … Central to the disc are the works by Fauré and Poulenc, heard to their best advantage when programmed in this way, hand-picked and set beside short works by Massenet and Chabrier. There are some great performances here … The expressive simplicity of his playing can make your eyes burn. In Clair de lune and Chaminade's once ubiquitous Automne, now rarely heard, Hough conjures up a heart-catching melody that puts me in mind of Cherkassky … Excellent booklet. Fine recording. De plus, s'il vous plaît!' (Gramophone)
'Once again, Stephen Hough's consummate artistry extends to inspirational programme building … The Fauré group is ravishingly contrasted, with a fluency and limpid style supported by all the necessary backbone and sense of direction to make the composer's tortuous harmonic twists sound as natural as speech … Chez Poulenc, the constantly shifting balance of melody, countermelody and accompaniment is defined by subtlety of dynamic shading, deft pedal work and brushstroke rubato … Even by Hough standards the whole enterprise is a tour-de-force and easily the most satisfying disc of piano music I've encountered so far this year' (International Record Review)
'Stephen Hough is a treasurable musician of questing intelligence. His latest album is among the most enjoyable … The Fauré selections best display Hough's connoisseur touch. From the adventurous journey of the sixth Nocturne to the restless harmonies of the fifth Barcarolle, each selection springs a new surprise. The lighter French spirit surfaces in Hough's own arrangements of Délibes and Massenet, delivered with delicious wit and grace' (The Times)
Stephen Hough calls his extremely generous, 79-minute, 17-item French Album 'a sort of musical dessert trolley', but that sells it short. It's much more of a festive hamper, offering a full meal to lovers of French music, mixing up the familiar and the unknown with Stephen's typical charm and panache' (Mail on Sunday)
'An exquisite arrangement of Massenet's Crépuscule … Ravel's Alborada del gracioso and Fauré's F sharp minor Impromptu are glitteringly played' (The Sunday Times)
'It is a stroke of genius to end with the Liszt/Halévy Réminiscences de 'La juive'. Hough makes this Fantaisie brilliante a true tour-de-force … A terrific disc' (International Piano Magazine)
'An unhackneyed selection. Everything is beautifully played; whether the four pieces by Fauré or the three by Poulenc, it is a feast of virtousity and poetry' (The Dominion Post, New Zealand)
Exquis! Stephen Hough presents an enchanting programme of French music, played with the filigree perfection and total command of the music's expressive world that make him one of the most admired pianists of today. In typical Houghian style this recital is full of surprises and lesser-known gems from the repertoire, as well as works by the masters Fauré, Ravel, Debussy and Poulenc. A particular delight is Hough's own arrangement of the Massenet song Crépuscule, a ravishing exercise in creative yet faithful transcription. This release is both a tribute to the lyric genius which flowered in nineteenth- and twentieth-century France, and a glimpse into the musical mind of a great pianist. |

Introduction |
'Ah! Chabrier, I love him as one loves a father! An indulgent father, always merry, his pockets full of tasty tit-bits. Chabriers music is a treasure house you can never exhaust; I just could not do without it! It consoles me on my darkest days
With that, Francis Poulenc deftly, if unwittingly, sums up many of the pleasures on offer in Stephen Houghs latest piano album, this one dedicated to French delights and which the pianist describes as a sort of musical dessert trolley.
We start though, in a characteristically Houghian twist, with a figure who was in fact Swiss-born and not really a composer at all: the legendary pianist Alfred Cortot. His take on one of the most famous works in the classical canonwhether or not by Bach, and scholars are still scrapping about thatis a refreshing essay in the simplest means to create the maximum impact. In place of the mighty and freely pianistic transcriptions of the D minor Toccata and Fugue by Busoni, Tausig, Grainger and Friedman, to name just the obvious candidates, here is a study in Gallic refinement, which is not to say it is lightweight in any sense: it maintains the epic quality of the original to perfection. Perhaps it is precisely because Cortot wasnt a composer or even a composerpianist that he gets to the heart of the matter so compellingly. To this, Stephen Hough has added his own subtle changes and clarifications, bringing the work ineluctably into the twenty-first century. The same qualities of concision and directness of effect govern Cortots magical transcription of the Arioso from Bachs F minor Keyboard Concerto. Theres not a spare note anywhere, bringing the sublime melody into a sharp focus, which is then seasoned with a gentle rubato, applied according to the taste of the individual pianist. Cortot himself liked the seasoning to be generous, though never overbearing. There follow four pieces that demonstrate the sheer breadth of Gabriel Faurés style. His nocturnes and barcarolles (thirteen of each) are arguably the pinnacles of his pianistic achievement and offer a snapshot of his long career. Strikingly, the sixth Nocturne and fifth Barcarolle were written simultaneously, in 1894. Temperamentally, they couldnt be more contrasted. The Nocturne opens with a quiet majesty, the harmonies utterly characteristic. Like the greatest of Chopins nocturnes, we have no idea whats in store, with Fauré introducing first a more animated second idea, its agitation emanating from the fervent syncopations, and then a light-filled central section, powered by iridescent arpeggios, which he then proceeds to combine with the other two ideas with almost nonchalant ease, before the music finally stills and fades into silence. The fifth Barcarolle is all angles, emphasized not only by its syncopated rhythms but also a restlessness that comes from a refusal to settle harmonically or melodically. It has none of the easeful qualities that we traditionally associate with the genre, as Fauré introduces a tortured development which brings together the preceding ideas to devastating effect. It is only in the coda that we finally find peace. All his life Fauré loved to improvise, a skill honed during his years studying organ and church music at the École Niedermeyer. The Huit Pièces brèves collect together gems from over three decades. The Improvisation heard here dates from 1901 and was written as a cunningly demanding sight-reading test at the Paris Conservatoire. Cunning because in place of blatant complexities come two minutes of the most musical nuance, limpidity of sound and rhythmic subtlety: a true test of any budding pianist. In an innocent-ear test how long would it take you to guess the author of Faurés fifth Impromptu (1909), in which darting whole-tone scales flicker with an undefined unease? Its incessant rippling motion gives it an étude-like feel and, while its Puckish final flourish is witty, its disconcerting too. Ravel regarded himself as Basque as much as French and his Alborada del gracioso, the fourth of his Miroirs, is just one of his explorations of this aspect of his heritage. But though his Spanish fever had a personal aspect, it had long been gripping the nation too, ever since Bizets Carmen and Manets Young Woman in a Spanish Costume. It is perhaps not entirely coincidental that the year Ravel completed Miroirs1905hed encountered Chabriers España for the first time. Alborada del gracioso is an elusive title to translate, though the composer suggested Morning Song of the Clown. But a gracioso is not a clown in the English sense, any more than the character Punch equates to Pulcinella. Ravels transformation of the keyboard into a guitar, complete with pungent chords and lively strumming, conjures up an atmosphere so heady that you can almost smell the dust of the streets. Its a far cry from Picassos The Old Guitarist, painted just two years earlier. From Ravels sharply etched portrait to ravishing melody, pure and simple. You can almost hear the swish of the 78 and the fragile tones and starched French diction of a long-gone soprano in Stephen Houghs tender transcription of Jules Massenets ravishing song Crépuscule. And Hough respects the discreet accompaniment of the original version, supporting the ecstatic vocal line. But in fact his inspiration comes not from the parlour but from the theatre, and specifically the ballet Lhistoire de Manon, which is made up of music by Massenet, Crépuscule included, created by Kenneth MacMillan in 1974. It has become a signature role of the great French ballerina Sylvie Guillem, to whom this is dedicated. While Poulenc, Fauré, Ravel and Debussy are, in their different ways, universally acknowledged, Chabriers sun has failed to rise as high. Listening to his music, this seems inexplicable, now as in his own era, when Ravel famously (though perhaps disingenuously) announced that hed have been more proud of writing Chabriers opera Le roi malgré lui than the complete Wagner Ring. And Poulenc was to declare that the Pièces pittoresques were as crucial a part of French music as Debussys Préludes. Chabrier wrote the bulk of his Pièces pittoresques as a kind of holiday diary while staying on the coast at Saint-Pair-sur-Mer in 1880. He was crazy about the sea, finding it hugely inspirational, and promised to send his publisher a little piece each week, though the response was hardly positive, his first offering being greeted with flat incomprehension. The unassuming Mélancolie, with its murmured dialogue between highest and lowest registers, is placed second in the set, and perhaps it is the gulf between the simple title of the collection and the subtlety of the music that puts off casual listeners. Where would Poulenc have been without his melancholic streak? Its that juxtaposition of emotions that makes this composer once dubbed half man, half thug so endlessly fascinating. And we find both aspects of his character rubbing shoulders here. Mélancolie opens with a wistful melody, almost Chopinesque in tone, set against a rippling backdrop; the whole effect is unashamedly nostalgic and gives little hint of the emotional rollercoaster to come. And as so often with Poulenc it is the moments where hes smiling, where the harmonies and key flirt with the major, that he tugs at your heartstrings most profoundly. Its perhaps not surprising to learn that Mélancolie was completed in 1940, in war-torn France. Poulencs fourth Nocturne, with its hint of the seventh of Chopins Op 28 Preludes, has a kind of lazy rhetoric but always coloured with the composers characteristic piquancy. Among his series of eight nocturnes, it is one of the few that actually fits the title in its traditional sense. Subtitled Bal fantôme, it is prefaced by a quote from the novel Le visionnaire by the writer Julien Green, a friend of the composer: an invalid, confined to his sick-bed, hears distant strains of a ball and recalls happier times of his youth. The sly semitonal movement gives those distant memories of the waltz a distinctly twentieth-century edge. The Fifteen Improvisations conceal beneath their unassuming collective title a succession of contrasting and fleeting gems. No 8, written in 1934, blends a Prokofiev-like angularity with an astonishing range of mood and material offered up for our entertainment like a miniature ballet, all crammed into little more than a minute. In one sense Cécile Chaminade was a woman born out of her time. Bizet was so impressed by her precocity that he dubbed her his little Mozart, but any plans she had to study at the Paris Conservatoire were scotched by her father, who deemed it beneath her social standing (though she did manage to study composition privately with Benjamin Godard, no less). On the other hand, she was very much of her time, stylistically, particularly in her works for her own instrument. Her zest for melody is indeed Mozartian in its apparent effortlessness, as Automne vividly demonstrates, but also on display here is her prodigious keyboard technique, the simple pictorial title masking the fact this is one of a set of six concert études, with the emphasis firmly on concert. No matter how exalted the Parisian circles in which Charles-Valentin Alkan movedand he counted Chopin and Eugène Delacroix among his friendsthere is a sense of his being an outsider, not simply culturally, as a Jew in a society renowned for its anti-semitism, but musically too. And indeed he became increasingly reclusive during the last four decades of his long life. It is no coincidence that Alkans twenty-five Préludes in all the minor and major keys from 1847 should have followed in the footsteps of Chopins. But why twenty-five? Because, with resolution uppermost in his mind, the last of these pieces reaffirms the C major of the beginning. The eighth Prélude, La chanson de la folle au bord de la mer (The song of the mad woman on the sea shore), is one of the most unsettling of all his works, prefiguring by several decades Liszts late style in its unmelodic melodic line, and a claustrophobic sense of ennui, reinforced by an almost maddeningly incessant accompaniment. After such intensity, Debussys landscape seems reassurance itself. The composers profound affection for the visual arts is well known and he shared with Monet a fascination with visiting the same sights again and again. Moonlight was one such subject that he returned to repeatedly. The most famous occasion has to be Clair de lune from his youthful Suite bergamasque of 1890. It originally bore the title Promenade sentimentale after a Verlaine poemfrom which we should perhaps deduce that over-emoting at a dirge-like tempo was not the composers intention. The final two works on this recording transport us back into the theatre. Delibes arcadian ballet Sylvia initially met with little success in the Paris of the 1870s. Fast-forward eighty years to 1952 and enter Sir Frederick Ashton, who rescued the work, re-choreographing it and turning it into a repertoire piece. Pizzicati is by far the best-known melody in a remarkable score, originally heard within the Act 3 Divertissement. Stephen Houghs achievement is in maintaining the spirit of the music, while making it sound completely at home on the keyboard, the addition of some delicious roulades adding spice. Fromental Halévy (17991862), meanwhile, had taken the Paris Opéra by storm in 1835 with the grandest of grand French operas, La juive (The Jewess), a feat he was never to matchthough he kept on trying, producing some forty operas. So ubiquitous was La juive that it was a natural choice for the young Liszt to transform into a paraphrase of gothic brilliance. Whats striking is that though he was still only in his mid-twenties when he wrote Réminiscences de La juive, he thoroughly Liszt-ifies Halévys creation. Drawing on motifs from Acts 3 and 5, Liszt weaves a phantasmagorical fantasy, often teasingly revealing only part of Halévys melodies; contemporary audiences must have been delighted by this game of hide-and-seek every bit as much as they were awed by the overt and unabashed virtuosic aplomb.

The latest news and views about music in Milwaukee and beyond
Can U Dig It: New music from Mark Harris, Esh, Jae Ace, T.I. and Lupe Fiasco
DIG ON THIS: Mark Harris releases an instant classic
I listen to quite a bit of music from local and national artists on a monthly basis. Every once and a while a project comes along that makes you more than a fan; it makes you a promoter, telling everyone you know about the CD as if you managed the band. I wish I could take more credit for bringing Milwaukee contemporary gospel singer Mark Harris to your attention, but to be honest I almost missed out myself.
A friend of a friend passed my e-mail to his management and luckily after several e-mails I finally listened to Harris' new album "Everlasting Praise," a 13 song masterwork that is so good even if you are not a fan of praise music you will love this project.
For Harris, singing praise music is second nature. "I've been in the church my whole life," says Harris. "My dad (Governor Harris) was a pastor, my grandfather, great-grandfather, two of my uncles and my cousin; so gospel music has been a part of me all of my life."
With songs produced and written by Milwaukee natives guitarist Raymond "Shon" Hinton (Mary J Blige, Jill Scott, John Legend) and songwriter Chad "C-Note" Roper (Rihanna, Brandy, Backstreet Boys), this project has a fresh, timely feel.
On the hook to "Lifter," Harris, who co-wrote much of the album, lets the subtle rock guitar undertones intermingle with his polished background vocals creating a soaring inspirational chorus. Lead single "Supernatural Champion" still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I listen to it, while the acoustic soul of "One Day" further stretches your understanding of just how cool gospel music can be when in the hands of an adept collection of songwriters, producers and musicians. "I believe that this music has universal appeal that will reach people everywhere," says Harris.
Check for my CD review of "Everlasting Praise" Wednesday, May 30, I'll go more in depth about the albums most amazing moments. For now check out the three aforementioned songs below and let me know if you agree with me about this album or if I'm just being extra.
Album contributors include: Daryl Tucker, Mario Brown, Pierre Medor, Carlita Harris, Angela Renee, Camille Hunt, Miltone, Cornell Thigpen, John McVicker, Tiyon "TC" Mack and Daven Hines.
Harris will perform at his CD release/tour kickoff concert on Friday, May 25 at Christian Fellowiship Church (8605 W. Good Hope Rd.). The show starts at 7pm; advanced tickets are $10 and can be purchased by calling (414) 760-2332. According to Harris' management, the singer will embark on a national summer tour after Friday's performance.
"It will be a Spirit filled display of God given talent that brings the songs from the project to life," Harris says of what fans can expect to see at his concert on Friday. "I pray that the people that attend will leave inspired, encouraged, and motivated to fulfill God's purpose in their lives."
His single "Supernatural Champion" is currently being featured on local radio stations V-100 and Jammin 98.3.
. . . And this: "Supernatural Champion," Lifter" and "One da
DIG ON THIS: Rapper Jae Ace and CMG
Circle Music Group (CMG) consists of two of my favorite local producers, Derelle "Rell Beats" Rideout and Deonte "Money Bags" Hayes, and a crew of emcees, one of which, Pizzle, released one of the better rap albums last year. The local crew's latest project "Portrait of Hours" by rapper Jae Ace is yet another solid release from the independent label.
Conflicted with the desire to garner fame, money and the spoils that come with both, Ace combines the worldly desires of a young man coming of age in a materialistic society and the introspection of a maturing street orator. The burgeoning lyricist is just as capable articulating a more mature perspective about life goals on "FreeDumb" as he is on the bawdy romp "Showtime" featuring Dooch and produced by Young Dev, a ridiculously catchy, radio ready banger.
A fresh and intriguing voice in a crowd of rather boring releases so far in 2012, Ace's album was originally released online in April. He is currently planning a release party to officially drop the project in June.
. . . And this: "FreeDumb"
Check out my CD review for more of the album's highlights and stop by WWW.JAEACE.COM to download the CD for free.
DIG ON THIS: Esh finally releases new project
After years of performing gigs and building a sizable following in Chicago and Milwaukee, alt-rocker ESH has finally released her highly anticipated debut EP, "You Should Know Me"—an apt title considering how long her fans have been clamoring for recorded music. Last Friday, May 18, ESH performed at the first of her two release parties--the second one takes place in Chicago this weekend. Playing for a packed house at Club Garibaldi, ESH delivered a solid set of old and newer songs.
I've just started listening to the CD this week but I can safely say "Burn this Place Down" is a beast. Actually, at 5 songs long there isn't a bad track on the CD. "I Don't Care" is probably my favorite song right now, but that may change tomorrow.
For more info on the album check out my CD review on Wednesday, May 30. Until then, listen to one of the tracks off of ESH's project below.
. . . And this: "I Don't Care"
DIG ON THIS: Lupe Fiasco & T.I. release new singles
Courtesy of Milwaukee DJ and Atlantic Records rep, Poizon Ivy, we have new singles from everybody's favorite dope dealing family man T.I., and Chicago hip-hop intellectual Lupe Fiasco.
After serving time for possessing a small arsenal of artillery and then serving more time for parole violations, T.I. recently starred in his own reality show, VH1's "T.I. & Tiny." With the family show over for the season T.I. returns to his day job, making "trap music."
Whether you like his new gangsta anthem "Like That" is probably based on whether or not you still want to hear "dope boy" lyrics from a guy who resembles Cliff Huxtable more than "Rubber band Man" these days. Not to mention is feels like it's been years since T.I. dropped an exciting record. While I've been a big T.I. fan for years, I have to admit I'm a little nervous about his new album "Troubled Man" coming this Summer. Let's hope it's as good as advertised.
Check out the new track and let me know if this is the beginning of T.I.'s comeback or the beginning of the end for the thirty something rapper.
. . . And this: "Like That"
I cant lie, it took me a minute to fully embrace Lupe Fiasco's new single "Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)." The track features the same sample of Tom Scott song "Today" that Pete Rock so masterfully utilized for the classic "T.R.O.Y." Anybody that knows me understands that I hold great reverence for "T.R.O.Y." and reusing that sample is akin to musically blasphemy, to me atleast.
If you are a Lupe fan and you don't have the same the hang ups I do, this will probably be another great song for you to add to the Lupe folder in your iPod. One thing is for sure, Lupe does not skimp on the thoughtful provocation. Check out an example of his amazing wit and rhyme structure on the excerpt below.
. . . Dig on this: excerpt from "Around My way (Freedom Ain't Free)"
"it's all one song short of a set list/couple croissants shy of a continental breakfast/blowing out your birthday candles just to make a death wish/so absurd, word to chief bone necklace/down at the Lakota Sioux Casino/a whole culture boiled down to giving you pokeeno/I go as left as a heart in a chest/ because the horn of Africa is now starving to death."
. . . And this: "Around My Way ("Freedom Ain't Free)"

text: R8 q195 obv.jpgR8 q195 rev.jpgHere's Hugh's R8 quiz 195: Is this a small date, medium date, large date, or tall date? Is this the same size letters in the reverse legend as the 51 over 81? What variety is this? The RFL cud census from the March 2012 Common Cents Report lists 39, 26, or 8 of this variety with an obverse cud? This coin is very choice, very smooth, genuine, and in an early die state, interestingly different to the naked eye, not machined, of normal thickness with an unevenly blunt appearance on each side on a variety not known for blunt strikes. What do I conclude this coin was used for after circulating?

Remember, no other factor has a greater effect on a diamond's appearance—so choose the highest cut grade you can afford. We recommend an Ideal, Excellent, Very Good, or Good cut so that you are acquiring a diamond that is in the top 25% of all diamonds.
Pearls are unique, and so are many of the ways in which people determine their quality and rarity. While color and size play a role, just as they do with gemstones and diamonds, other characteristics also come into play.
Before considering the characteristics of pearls, let's look at the different types that are available today. All of these are cultured pearls, created by stimulating an oyster or mussel to produce a pearl. Natural pearls are so unusual today that they are rarely available for sale.
A pearl's color is actually a combination of two types of color—the body color and the overtone. Some of the most desirable pearls have overtones that are equal in depth to their body color.
Size is not the only criteria by which to judge the quality of a pearl, but if all other factors—color, luster, shape, and surface—are the same, then it's fair to say that the value of a particular pearl will be higher because of its size. Different types of pearls have different size ranges, and these sizes are measured in millimeters.
Luster refers to a pearl's shine, or the effect that's created when light is reflected off the iridescent material called nacre that composes a pearl. The larger the pearl, the more nacre—therefore, the more luster. And the higher the luster, the more valuable the pearl.
While pearls come in several different shapes, round pearls are the most desirable. The rounder the pearl, the higher the quality. A perfectly round pearl is extremely rare.
The ideal pearl has a smooth surface that is relatively free of cracks, discoloration, or other imperfections. This quality is judged by experts who examine pearls with the naked eye to determine surface ratings.

Parish Registers: Problems and Progress
Session 3A, 14.00-15.00
Parish registers have often been regarded as the primary source of vital statistics prior to civil registration (1538-1837), though this was not the purpose of their creation. Their effective use must also take into account the problems of migration, non-registration and non-conformity. Over the past century, public access to registers has been aided by the establishment of County Record Offices, while the transcription and publication of registers has enabled the wide distribution of much genealogical data. More recently, the searching of registers across parish boundaries has been facilitated by the development of electronic databases and digitization of the original records.
Jeremy Goldsmith is an historian and genealogist, and has been fascinated by family history since childhood. After studying at the University of London, he has worked as a professional genealogist since 2006, and became a Member of AGRA three years later. He has a particular interest in the sources of genealogy, and a number of articles in the Genealogists' Magazine, Family Tree Magazine, and Your Family Tree, have aimed to explain the use and limitations of legal, military, and parochial records. He is a member of the Society of Genealogists, and is currently Programme Secretary of the Heraldry Society.
In the recent past he has given lectures to the Heraldry Society and the London Branch of the Yorkshire Family History Group. Later this year (2010) he will be addressing the Oxford University Heraldry Society and the Annual Meeting of the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy.

Find a Part - Mini Parts - Mini Cooper s Parts - Petrol tank
Mini Cooper s Petrol tank's are a call or a click away with Find a Part. Fill in the free car parts request form, or give us a call. We will then contact selected Mini Cooper s petrol tank suppliers throughout the UK, who will contact you if they have the Mini Cooper s Petrol tank you need.
A petrol (or fuel) tank is a safe container for flammable liquids, and is part of a car engine system. As the name suggests, petrol tanks store petrol which is stored and propelled by a fuel pump, or released by pressurized gas into an engine.
Fuel tanks are increasingly made using Plastic High density polyethylene (HDPE), which is made using a technique of blow moulding. This technology is increasingly used as it now shows its capacity to obtain very low emissions of fuel. HDPE is a flexible material, which can also allow for complex shapes to be formed, this means the fuel tank can be mounted directly over the rear axle, saving space and improving crash safety. Initially there were concerns over the low fracture toughness of HDPE, when compared to steel or aluminium, but it is becoming increasingly adopted as the material of choice for fuel tanks.

Nutrigenetic Testing:
Tests Purchased from Four Web Sites Mislead Consumers
GAO-06-977T, Jul 27, 2006
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Scientists increasingly believe that most, if not all, diseases have a genetic component. Consequently, genetic testing is becoming an integral part of health care with great potential for future test development and use. Some genetic tests are sold directly to the consumer via the Internet or retail stores, and purport to use genetic information to deliver personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance. These tests require consumers to self-collect a sample of genetic material, usually from a cheek swab, and then forward the sample to a laboratory for analysis. Companies that market this type of test claim to provide consumers with the information needed to tailor their diet and exercise programs to address their genetically determined health risks. GAO was asked to investigate the "legitimacy" of these claims. This testimony reflects the findings of GAO's investigation of a nonrepresentative selection of genetic tests. Specifically, GAO purchased tests from four Web sites and created "fictitious consumers" by submitting for analysis 12 DNA samples from a female and 2 samples from an unrelated male, and describing this DNA as coming from adults of various ages, weights, and lifestyle descriptions. GAO also consulted with experts in genetics and nutrition.
The results from all the tests GAO purchased mislead consumers by making predictions that are medically unproven and so ambiguous that they do not provide meaningful information to consumers. Although there are numerous disclaimers indicating that the tests are not intended to diagnose disease, all 14 results predict that the fictitious consumers are at risk for developing a range of conditions, as shown in the figure below. However, although some types of diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, can be definitively diagnosed by looking at certain genes, the experts GAO spoke with said that the medical predictions in the tests results can not be medically proven at this time. Even if the predictions could be medically proven, the way the results are presented renders them meaningless. For example, many people "may" be "at increased risk" for developing heart disease, so such an ambiguous statement could relate to any human that submitted DNA. Results from the tests that GAO purchased from Web sites 1 and 4 further mislead the consumer by recommending costly dietary supplements. The results from the tests from Web site 1 suggested "personalized" supplements costing approximately $1,200 per year. However, after examining the list of ingredients, GAO found that they were substantially the same as typical vitamins and antioxidants that can be found in any grocery store for about $35 per year. Results from the tests from Web site 4 suggested expensive products that claimed to repair damaged DNA. However, the experts GAO spoke with stated that there is no "pill" currently available that has been proven to do so. The experts also told us that, in some circumstances, taking supplements such as those recommended may be harmful. In addition, results from the tests that GAO purchased from Web sites 1, 2, and 3 do not provide recommendations based on a unique genetic profile as promised, but instead provide a number of common sense health recommendations. If the recommendations were truly based on genetic analysis, then the 9 fictitious consumers that GAO created for these sites using the female DNA should have received the same recommendations because their DNA came from the same source. Instead, they received a variety of different recommendations, depending on their fictitious lifestyles. For example, when GAO created lifestyle descriptions stating that the consumers smoked, they received recommendations to stop smoking. In contrast, if GAO said the consumers never smoked, they received recommendations to continue to avoid smoking.

Hi folks - I'm a reporter at Bloomberg, where I cover economic issues, including housing.
We all know how tough it's been to get a purchase loan since the meltdown. But I'm getting the impression that it's getting even tougher as of late. One reason, I think, is new lender anxiety about regulations being put in place in Washington. Then there's continued falling home prices etc. People here in DC say lending standards are preventing a housing rebound. Banks are loosening consumer and business lending, but not mortgage lending. What do you think?
Has anyone with good credit failed to get a purchase loan recently? Would love to hear your stories, either off the record here in the forum or on the record by phone or email.
