Part of SA2 Saturday Evening 2
About This Performance
A solo violin is the voice of Scheherazade as she calms the Sultan's menacing brass fanfares in Rimsky-Korsakov's colorful epic. "All I had desired was that the hearer, if he liked my piece as symphonic music, should carry away the impression that this is beyond doubt an oriental narrative of some numerous and varied fairy-tale wonders and not merely four pieces played one after the other," the composer wrote.
Come for:
Haydn's late symphony – the second movement fanfares gave it the "Military" nickname – is paired with Rimsky's ever-popular and enticing musical tale of the Arabian Nights.
And more:
The eminent Spanish conductor has become an audience favorite in recent visits to Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl.
Programs, artists, dates, prices and availability subject to change.

Hey there, time traveller!

Breathtaking disconnect
Re: Province probes killing of 12 elk (Jan. 4) As a responsible adult and as a First Nations person who has long enjoyed the outdoors, it's an understatement to say that I, like so many of my peers, am disgusted with the elk kill near Swan River.
The act in and of itself demonstrates an extraordinary lack respect and conscience. For one of these so-called hunters to then post his exploits on Facebook, making some sort of grotesque and perverted allegorical connection to the Idle No More movement, demonstrates a breathtaking disconnect.
If First Nations people want a serious dialogue about their very legitimate concerns, setting better examples and modelling positive behaviours would be a good place to start.
Addressing prevention
The Dec. 20 editorial Sex trade ill-served by the law and the Dec. 21 response by Member of Parliament Joy Smith, Victimizing the young, provides readers with different viewpoints on whether or not current laws criminalizing the sex trade should be maintained. Both appear concerned with minimizing risk to sex-trade workers, but neither addresses prevention of the circumstances in which a young person would start an activity so threatening to her personal well-being.
Smith lists some women's advocacy groups that oppose legalizing prostitution, but at least one of the groups listed, the Native Women's Association of Canada, has had its health-related federal funding cut in Budget 2012. Indeed, in Budget 2012, cuts were made to about eight of the over two dozen women's agencies whose funding has been reduced or ended since 2006.
We can guess about what living conditions make girls vulnerable to entrapment into the sex trade; but we need to know more about, for example, why some girls drop out of school or skills training, or fail to access health information, or bear children before financial and family supports are established. Without any hope of adequate income, these girls become easy prey for drug-pushing pimps who exploit their fears of poverty and homelessness.
Governments produce wealth
Opposition Leader Brian Pallister has his shorts in a knot about the NDP government's "overspending." Sadly, by saying something so silly, Pallister and his crew demonstrate a fundamental misapprehension about the working of the economy under which conservatives (and Conservatives) labour.
In our economy, some of the production -- a majority -- comes from private enterprise. A portion is produced by non-profit organizations. The balance is produced by government. A government does not "spend," much less "overspend." What it does is produce wealth in the form of services consumed by the citizens of the province.
Inasmuch as it is the government sector that provides the province's infrastructure, health and education and part of its housing, one could argue that the government portion of the economy is, in fact, the most essential part of the economy. Rather than being a drain on the economy, when governments spend, they produce wealth.
Now, it is perfectly open to Pallister to propose that some of the provincial government's spending is not productive, or that economies could be found in program spending. And he probably would be right. I'm sure that his 19 caucus members could find legitimate cases of dubious programs, starting perhaps with the racially segregated child-welfare system.
However, Pallister should stop embarrassing himself by going on about "overspending." It's a meaningless oxymoron right up there with "tax burden."
Cuff made recommendation
In your editorial City staff forgets its place (Jan. 4), you state, incorrectly, that then-mayor Susan Thompson dismissed the board of commissioners and replaced it with a chief administrative officer in 1995.
What actually happened was that city council, under Thompson's leadership, adopted the Cuff Report, which recommended, among other things, that the board of commissioners administrative model be replaced by a chief administrative officer model. That decision was made by council in October 1997.
Aggression to blame
The two letters on Jan. 2 on cycling safety (Burdensome bicyclists) may obscure the fact that many of us had an enjoyable and safe cycle to work that day. By 7:20 a.m., there were six bikes and 18 cars in the underground parking lot I use.
There is enough blame to go around for both drivers and cyclists. I agree that cyclists need helmets, good manners and good lighting (the lighting system on my bike is worth more than my bike). But if we are going to talk about law changes, let's make changes that deal with the real issue.
New York studies cited by St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto concluded that drivers are to blame in 75-90 per cent of cyclist deaths and that the leading cause of death is drivers passing cyclists unsafely or aggressively. The fact that 97 per cent of drivers who killed cyclists in one New York study were male was interpreted as strongly suggesting that driver aggression is a significant factor in cyclist deaths.
Law changes that improved driver training and effectively discouraged driver aggression could save lives in Winnipeg.
Aboriginal role models
Re: Faces of the aboriginal community (Dec. 29). You should have added another page to this article. You then could have included the names of Roger Carriere and Edwin Jebb, as well as other worthy individuals.
Carriere, a longtime resident of Cranberry Portage, was known throughout Western Canada for his participation in King Trapper events.
He supported winter festivals and was a regular fixture at the Trappers Festival in The Pas. His record in King Trapper events will likely never be matched. He was also a member of the victorious Team Manitoba in the 1967 centennial canoe race. He was indeed a role model for aboriginal youth. He died in 2010.
Jebb is an educator and a politician from the Opaskwayak Cree Nation in The Pas. He was one of the first aboriginal graduates of the University of Manitoba. He has served his community in several roles, among them as an elected councillor and as the director of the education authority. Jebb is currently the chancellor of the University College of the North.
Kives' tenure superior
Integrity coupled with an acute sense of social responsibility has exemplified Bartley Kives' seven-year tenure as your city hall reporter. Never one to be seduced by unrealistic calls for absolute standards of public conduct, he reported the facts simply with an ability to offer context, not personal comment.
His was a job done in a fashion superior to the effete academics and sanctimonious politicos who use situations to exploit their own views. Kives' incisive reporting was a delight, and his yet-to-be-published work is to be happily anticipated.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Arterial spin labeling in magnetic resonance imaging to assess collateral blood flow [ Time Frame: performed one time prior to surgery ]
|Study Start Date:
|April 2009
|Study Completion Date:
|November 2013
|Primary Completion Date:
|November 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Moyamoya, acute stroke, other
Approximately 210 participants will be enrolled, including the following groups:
60 Moyamoya patients, 60 acute stroke patients, 30 healthy participants and 60 patients with diagnosis unspecified
Drug: Xenon as contrast agent
Other Name: XeMED contrast agent
Detailed Description:
In the early hours following large vessel occlusion, the ultimate severity of the stroke is largely determined by the ability of collateral flow networks to supply blood to ischemic tissue via circuitous routes that bypass the proximal clot. Robust collateral flow can improve response to thrombolytic therapy and decrease the risk of intracranial hemorrhage. Despite their central importance, collaterals during acute stroke are poorly understood, largely because assessment has required an invasive imaging test, cerebral angiography. This proposal assesses whether a noncontrast MRI perfusion technique, called arterial spin labeling (ASL), can yield important information about collateral flow.

CLUB legend Paul Gazzard has launched a scathing attack on the new regime at Bashley, claiming he had been replaced as manager prior to being contacted by chairman Angela Speechley-Price.
The long-serving Bash stalwart cited time constraints when he joined fellow joint-boss John Pyatt in standing down two weeks ago, while Mrs Speechley-Price publicly expressed her hope that Gazzard would stay on in a coaching capacity.
Less than 48 hours later, the Daily Echo exclusively revealed that Bash had appointed Graham Speechley-Price – the new chair's husband – and former Verwood Town assistant Andy Darnton as joint-managers, just after Gazzard had jetted off on a family holiday.
And after returning from his break, Gazzard, who served Bash as a player, coach and assistant manager before he took the hot seat under trying circumstances last season, revealed the reasons behind his exit.
Gazzard told the Daily Echo: "I never wanted to leave on a sour note after 11 years but I felt the new regime showed me no respect whatsoever. I have been told they had chosen their manager three or four weeks before they tried to speak to me.
"They went behind my back and appointed the chairman's husband before they had clarified my position. I had been considering my future anyway but when I heard what was happening, I thought I would stand down rather than get sacked.
"When I was contacted the next day, she (Mrs Speechley-Price) said she wanted me to stay on in a support role but with what had happened how could I do that?
"I would have been helping to build a side only to be out on my ear. Any trust had immediately gone.
"Somebody said to me that it was a car crash waiting to happen and I wasn't prepared to be left burning in the wreckage when it all went wrong. I feel let down and it is a horrible way to end my time with a club so close to my heart."
Meanwhile, club secretary and interim executive member Tim Allan resigned from all positions at Wednesday's annual general meeting – just 19 days after being co-opted onto the club's committee.
Allan, who was also building Bashley's new website, said: "Mike (Cranidge, previous chairman) had asked me to step in but the new people came in with their own ideas.
"It didn't fit in with other things in my life so I decided to stop before the club or my other commitments suffered. It is a shame I have had to step down."
Mrs Speechley-Price, who was confirmed as chairman at the AGM, declined to comment on Allan's departure or the make-up of the club's permanent committee. It is understood that fellow interim committee member Nick Ferguson was also elected.
Mrs Speechley-Price was unavailable for comment on Gazzard's claims.

Blues better than expected
Paul Kane a team to fear in high school women's basketball
Saturday, Jan 11, 2014 06:00 am
The Paul Kane Blues are the real deal in high school women�s basketball after Wednesday�s statement game against the Harry Ainlay Titans.
Sydney Hurlburt�s clutch three-pointer with seconds remaining in overtime toppled the No. 7-ranked 4A Titans 70-67 at Harry Ainlay.
�It was very exciting. The atmosphere was like a championship game,� said Hurlburt.
The Grade 11 wing displayed grace under pressure while draining the game-winning basket.
�I wasn't making very many shots that game so when I just shot it I was just hoping for it to go in. When it went in it was a good feeling,� Hurlburt said.
The Blues didn�t blink in the face of adversity after the Titans forced overtime.
�We really came together that game. Everything clicked for us,� Hurlburt said. �I feel that was our best game so far.�
The post-game euphoria was vintage YouTube material.
�Honestly, our celebration afterwards described perfectly how we felt. All of us were so completely overwhelmed, especially with how we played. We played as a team and we won in overtime and that�s a great feeling all together,� said Grade 12 post Julie Fagan.
The Blues raised their metro Edmonton league record to 4-0 in the division one standings after the team�s most important victory since the playoff upset of the St. Albert Skyhawks 75-66 in the 2011 metro Edmonton premier (now division one) semifinal at the SkyDome.
�It was one of those wins we needed under our belts for when we play SACHS and other teams like that,� Fagan said. �For us to pull off that win we gelled so well as a team and once you get your whole team together and you get them with the same mindset it�s a great thing to see.�
Four division one teams � the 3-1 Skyhawks (No. 2), 5-0 Spruce Grove Panthers (No. 5), 3-1 Titans and 4-1 Bev Facey Falcons (No. 9) � are ranked top-10 in 4A ahead of the Blues, an honourable mention in the first provincial rankings.
�Last year was kind of a rebuilding year for us so they base those (first) rankings on not just this year but last year,� Fagan said. �If they saw us play this year we would be a lot higher, but we�re coming and we�re moving up.�
The 11-player roster features six returnees from last season�s 5-8 showing and opening playoff round loss in premier. The Blues also won tournaments at Namao, Stony Plain and Strathcona.
The team�s overall mark this season is 9-2 after burying the Fort McMurray Miners 66-23 in Thursday�s opening game at the Paul Kane Invitational Tournament.
�I think teams expect us to play how we played last year so when we come out really hard they�re surprised,� Hurlburt said. �This year we really feel that we�re a strong team. We�re shooting well, we�re pushing it more and when we play together we play really good.
�We�ve also been playing together for a while and we�ve been keeping up our communication.�
Hurlburt, 16, dropped in 26 points in limited playing time against the overmatched Miners, who dressed only eight players. They trailed 20-6 after the first quarter, 36-12 at halftime and 62-19 after three quarters.
Paige Derworiz tossed in 12 points, Rachel McIntyre added eight and Julia Nicholson had seven for the Blues.
�After coming off a big win it�s kind of typical to come down and in this game we didn�t do too well. We were a little bit lazy and not intense,� Fagan said.
In Friday�s semifinal the Blues played the winner of Thursday�s game between the Bellerose Bulldogs and Balfour Collegiate Redmen of Regina. The score was unavailable at press time.
Today the Blues will hoop it up in the third-place game at 3:30 p.m. or the final at 7 p.m.
�I would like to see us in the championship game. I think it�s a spot where we can work our way up to and succeed in. It would also boost morale,� Fagan said. �If we win this tournament it will give us that little extra edge that we need going into the exam break.�
The second half of the season promises to bring out the best in the Blues.
�Our goal is to get to the playoffs and hopefully win the championship and then our ultimate goal is provincials,� Fagan said. �The first half was let�s get in shape, let�s focus and get down to business and now we�ll go into the exam break and practice hard. One of the things our coaches stress is we all need to have championship practices because if we want to play as a championship team and win the championship we need to have championship practices.�
The first league game after the exam break is Feb. 4 against the Skyhawks at 6:30 p.m. at the SkyDome.
�It will be a good game. Hopefully we can keep up to them. I guess we�ll find out,� Hurlburt said.
It�s shaping up to be the game of the year in St. Albert high school basketball. The rivalry isn�t as nasty and belligerent as the Skyhawks versus the Bellerose Bulldogs in football, but it definitely has an edge similar to the growing gridiron animosity between Paul Kane and Skyhawks.
Fagan, 17, is confident the Blues will give the Skyhawks all they can handle after losses of 83-54 and 80-41 last season.
�We held our own with Spruce Grove (68-34 loss in the final of the Totem Hoop Classic on Dec. 7) and Spruce Grove beat SACHS (59-53 in league play Dec. 16 in St. Albert) so comparatively we�re right on their tails and we�re nipping at their heels.�

Eastbourne Eagles are still searching for a short-term replacement for their injured number one rider Joonas Kylmakorpi.
The Lifestyle Eagles have secured the services of Coventry's Scott Nicholls as a guest rider for this Saturday's meet with the Swindon Robins at Arlington but they continue to look for a more regular solution.
Changes in riders' averages mean the Lifestyle Eagles team manager Trevor Geer has been able to approach some of the sport's top names to come in as a temporary replacement.
Geer said: "Unfortunately, so far we have been turned down. These riders have prior commitments and are unable to change their existing commitments to come to Eastbourne either on a short-term or longer basis."
Kylmakorpi, who was injured in the club's second meeting of the season at King's Lynn, was hoping to make a comeback earlier this month. However, he has now had another MRI scan with the specialist saying he will not be fit to ride for another two or three weeks.
Geer added: "I have not given up on trying to bring in someone but it is not easy. We are doing our best but so far we have not had any success."

Office Confidential
Start by asking your associates whether they'd like white or red, suggests Laura Maniec, owner of Manhattan wine bar Corkbuzz and, at 32 years old, one of the world's youngest master sommeliers. Go with the majority, and remember, a bottle fills about four glasses. Impress seasoned tipplers by skipping the usual Chardonnays and Merlots in favor of something more daring, like the versatile Albariño from Spain or a dry red or white from Mount Etna in Italy. When in doubt, kick it to the sommelier. (Find your preferred price on the menu, point it out, and tell her, "In this range, please.") Just don't invite your guests to choose. "If you're paying the bill," Maniec says, "you need to take charge."
Branding means establishing who you are and what you stand for, then transmitting those values through your résumé, portfolio, and social-media presence. Whether you're an accountant or an exotic herbalist, make sure all your materials (even business cards and LinkedIn profile) convey a clear, consistent, immediately recognizable message about you. "When I moved to New York, I started using the tagline 'A Swiss designer gone NYC,'" says graphic designer and founder of Tattly LLC, Tina Roth Eisenberg, better known as the SwissMiss Blogger. The Swiss New Yorker quickly became her brand. "It said I was trained in Swiss aesthetics but was nevertheless adventurous. People knew what it meant instantly — and it still works for me today," she says.

Adnan Oktar: Our Prophet (pbuh) was Arabian. Arabian people are our nearest and dearest. They are sons of Ismail, the decendants of Prophet Ismail (as). It is a blessed generation. We cannot consider the contrary. Arabic people also admire Turkish people. Now, all Arabic countries know that Turks are the leader. This is the destiny. We have the hadiths of our Prophet (saas). Our Prophet (saas) entrusted the whole Islamic world to the Turks. There are many Hadiths about that. He (our Prophet) (saas) said; the red flags will appear first. The red flags are the Turkish flags. He said that the red flags will unite with the green ones. We will constitute the Turkish Islamic Union with flags of the Islamic world and the red ones, InshaAllah… This is already an inevitable destiny. Within the scope of Turkish Islamic Union; The Arabs, Iranians, Pakistanis, Egyptians, -I mean any of them- Georgia, Lithuania, they are all our dearest, our brothers, our soul. We will embrace them all with compassion, we will assure the security of their life and property, we will make them all rich, we will relieve them both materially and morally. That is a destiny. On the next step; we will involve Russia in the Turkish-Islamic Union, Insha'Allah. We will constitute the greatest super state of the world.
Milliyet, June 11- 2010
MUSA AMHAMAD KUSA, THE TERM CHAIRMAN OF ARABIC UNION: We are the descendants of the Ottoman
The term chairman of Arabic Union and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Libya Musa Emhemed Kusa delivered a speech in the joint press conference held at the end of the meeting. In his speech he told that in the past, the Ottoman Empire stepped in and cleaned up the region from invaders when Spain marched to invade through the north of Africa. Kusa stated: "Unless there hadn't been a Turkish intervention at the time; there wouldn't be any Arabic country in North Africa today. Thanks to the rescue operation leaded by Captain Turgut Reis, we regained our freedom. There are many similar examples. Between the Turkish and Arabic people, there is a union of blood. Today, the role of Turkey should not be found strange. OUR SEPERATION IS IMPOSSIBLE. We lived a history of which we are honoured together; we are their decendants."

Louise Gray Fall 2012
"All you girls with your straight perms trying to look like Bette Davis instead of Angela Davis . . . .". Those were the words—please forgive any paraphrasing—that opened Louise Gray's electric, and electrifying, fall show. (Though given the references that follow, perhaps ecstatic and euphoric is a better way of describing it.) That line, delivered with the kind of fierceness you only ever hear from the mouths of prizefighters, TSA agents, and (in this case, in all likelihood) Harlem ball drag queens, plus a preshow sound track of Madonna, clearly meant we were in the realms of vogueing and late eighties/early nineties club culture. You'd also be led to believe that based on the preponderance of collaged black-and-white prints—graphic Hilde Smith–style plus graffiti scratchings—worn head to toe on Gray's opening look, an optic-twitching layering of short dress, tights, and high boots.
From then on in, we were immersed in a near hallucinogenic collision of glistening metallic silk, brocades, and those Sonia Delaunay–gets-a-monochromatically-punk-makeover patterns for slips and draped dresses. These were variously layered up with hand-drawn black prints on white cotton shirts, Keith Haring–esque printed long-sleeved tees, or deluxe versions of the kind of colorful marled sweaters found in Camden market in London, being snapped up in bulk by the likes of Italian students. And to a maximalist like Gray, that's just the beginning, as she had every model toting as many accessories as she possibly could without impeding her progress down the runway—sculpted Mohican wigs, huge Day-Glo beaded chandelier earrings, sequin-encrusted tights, glossy ziggurat patent boots, and a jeweled bra top if the look (not to mention the girl) could carry it.
Don't get the wrong idea though; for all the playfulness and chaotic styling that infuses Gray's approach to fashion, it belies the seriousness that lies just under the surface. Many of these looks had a real craftsmanship to their work; more often than not, a dress would turn and suddenly reveal that the back was entirely different, lovingly and carefully paneled and patched and constructed. Gray's a vibrant colorist, a vivid imaginist, and an avowed individualist; three good reasons why she's emerging as one of London's most intriguing and exhilarating talents.

TWO little piggies are going to market to help support a hospital arts project.
The two remaining wooden pigs originally used as seating in Taunton's former Old Market Centre, now renamed the Orchard shopping centre, are being sold off individually.
They will go to the highest bidder at the Art on the Block auction at Musgrove Park Hospital on Tuesday, May 20.
The Taunton Two were removed several years ago, then brought out of storage in 2012 and re-imaged as Pigsaw and the Polden Pig by local artists Natalie Parsley and Michael Fairfax to help raise funds for the Brewhouse theatre.
But halfway through their tour of public spaces in the town, the theatre closed – although it has since re-opened – and the porkers went back into storage.
They will be joined by more than 80 pieces of artwork and sculpture by local and national artists in the auction, raising money to improve the experience for patients, staff and visitors at Musgrove.
Orchard's marketing and events co-ordinator Marika Sterry said: "I am thrilled the pigs have finally been sent to auction for the arts in our local community.
"Our thanks go to Natalie and Michael who have worked so hard on this project from the start. Let's hope the pigs raise lots of money before finding their happy resting place."

Modern Times Factory Stool .... so chic!
If you can't make your best artwork whilst sitting on this artsy stool... well...then you need some new inspiration. I'd use these on either side of a buffet or tucked under a big console too, as additional seating for groups. At this price, too. (Hello, so cheap! $195)
Blosters are so great for higher arm sofas, making them more approachable and comfy. These are cute and a good price!
I covet. I want. I need. Look at the finish on this bad boy, in the vintage shape of the 60's desk phone... I want it... I need it. Christmas, people!!!Added 9 Years Ago from Americanchairs
I love the arms on this one, love the color and the shape... Can't you see this in a man's office? It's a club chair with a sense of humor... Probably way more comfortable than the one you bought from Staples...Added 9 Years Ago from Americanchairs
an awesome retro club chair for the office... love the tufted shape and the shape of the chair!!! Not your momma's office chair...Added 9 Years Ago from Americanchairs

Following the River
Guest post by The Jazz Loft Project curator, Sam Stephenson.
Most times when I give a public talk about my fifteen and a half years of research on the life and work W. Eugene Smith, or when I do media interviews, like I did in May for the JLP opening at MOPA, I am asked how I got into it. It's a good question. Another good one is, how did Smith get into his line of work?
In the June 4-11 issue of the New Yorker magazine, an email from fantasy and science fiction writer China Mieville to a young fan was excerpted. Mieville responded to a question of getting started in his field:
How did you get into this stuff?
You're going to be asked this question a lot. Sometimes with a sneer, sometimes with friendly curiosity, generally with bewilderment. It's impossible to answer, of course; you didn't really get into anything. You're inextricable from your likes, and since the birth of your consciousness what you've wanted are monsters, witches, aliens, spaceships. "How did you get into this?" is to say, "How come you are you?"
If I remember correctly, Freud said the psychological being is formed by age five. In other words, your likes are established to one degree or another. In my next book, Gene Smith's Sink, a biography for Farrar, Straus and Giroux, is there any way for me to correctly identify the likes that drove Smith to his feverish extremes of obsession? Off the top of my head, Smith liked dramatic contrasts in light and dark tones; he liked overcoming obstacles and sometimes he'd invent them if they weren't there; he liked individuals that he saw trapped in the impersonal plights of political, economic, and cultural collectives. But where did those drives come from? I'm not sure I can identify the source of my own so-called drives and ambitions. So how can I possibly get it right with Smith, who was born in 1918 (he died in 1978)?
Three times I've visited Smith's birthplace and hometown, Wichita, Kansas. Last November, with photographer Kate Joyce, I was able to get inside his first home on the Arkansas River bank where he lived through elementary school. I was struck that the home faced due east, same as his loft window at 821 Sixth Avenue, New York City, from which he made 20,000 photographs (several dozen of which are on view at MOPA now). In Wichita young Gene could have seen the river when he was old enough to pull himself up and peer over the window seal. Several decades later he spent countless hours peering at Sixth Avenue traffic flowing from right to left below his fourth floor window.
I also grew up on a riverbank, the Pamlico River in Washington, North Carolina, a town of 10,000 people on the rural coast. When you grow up that close to water, you demand that water be part of your life from then on. At least, that's how it works for people I know that grew up on the water. Maybe Smith was different. But I think not. I think it's one reason why he virtually lived in the darkroom, even though he said many times the darkroom left him depleted and irritated. I believe he was comforted by the constant trickle of water in his darkroom sink. On so many of his mysterious loft tape recordings, you can hear that trickle in the background.
When Smith was a high school senior, his father committed suicide after losing his grain business in a Dust Bowl drought. By that time the family had moved to another home (which also had a due east view of the river). My speculation that the windows of the first home - his first apertures - left a permanent mark on his artistic vision is just that, speculation. There's no way to prove it.
I've been researching Smith's life and work for more than one-third of my life. It started in early January 1997, when a simple remark by a camera store clerk in Raleigh, North Carolina propelled me to the public library to look into Smith. Today I can't remember whether or not I knew anything about Smith before that day. My first project was to pick up the pieces of Smith's unfinished, quixotic opus on the city of Pittsburgh in the 1950s. A book (Dream Street: WW Norton) and exhibition (Carnegie Museum of Art, the International Center of Photography) appeared in 2001-02. Sometime in 1998, while working on the Pittsburgh project, I discovered 1740 reels of tape recordings that Smith made in a New York loft building. I traveled to twenty-three states, Japan, and made more than one hundred and fifty trips to New York City alone, interviewing more than five hundred people. Now, here I am in July 2012, writing this blog entry on the occasion of The Jazz Loft Project show at MOPA. And my work on Smith is still unfolding. I'm writing Gene Smith's Sink; helping develop a playbased on that book; and helping with a documentary film based on The Jazz Loft Project.
Smith-related projects are not the only thing I do. I recently wrote pieces about contemporary musicians Branford Marsalis and Joe Henry for Paris Review Daily, and another piece about two poets, Betty Adcock and Claudia Emerson. I also submitted a new piece about the manager of the Durham Bulls, Charlie Montoyo, and a larger project on the Bulls is on the horizon, too. But Smith is still generating interesting new avenues for me, and I keep meeting fascinating people along the way, so I don't see any reason to make it stop.

Does anybody know why they destroyed the Burrow in the movie version of HBP? There is so much they left out they could have put in instead of adding things that wern't in the book. ~Drayche
I completely agree. What annoys me most is that David Yates said he cut most of the memories out of the film because they hold up the story, but apparently he had no qualms about holding up the story with completely useless, non-canon scenes that not only don't make sense but contradict the seventh book. Not to mention those god awful, cheesy, poorly acted, poorly directed romances. Jayden Matthews 08:42, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
I concur, to be honest David Yates seems to have tryed with all his might to make the sixth book into a funny romantic film, which is completeyly against the mood of the book. The sixth book is the preparation of the war to come for Harry, he must find out as much as he can about Voldemort, but they have completely focused on the stupid soppy romance stories. Hopefully he will not do the same for the next film
Your right. Not only that but he also sold out in regards to the charcters. The scene where they apparate to the Burrow, and Dumbledore drops Harry waist deep in a bog was just to get a quick cheap laugh out of the audience, and is completely contary to Dumbledore's charcter. Jayden Matthews 15:32, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
I think the bog incident was an act of emphasis. He was trying to make the point that he wasn't in Kansas anymore, that things were taking a more serious turn, getting more mysterious. He was trying to make that point in a more humorous way. I can forgive him his emphasis on the romances. Frankly, the movie could stand a bit of levity because it's getting increasingly heavy. Keep in mind, we don't have all the inherent cuteness of the story that was woven into especially the first two books. But I was pretty disappointed in a few things...I really wish they would have kept in the bit with the prime minister. I think it would have been more interesting and would have revealed more information, frankly. I read that part of the book with great relish, visualizing a Tony Blair look alike being confronted with Cornelius Fudge and was dying to see how they would treat that in the movie. We didn't really need to see that wiggling bridge, did we? Cornelius Fudge could have explained that and we could have seen the aftermath of the devastation. I am guessing that they are not bringing this in because it would require too much explaining in the later movies, how the muggle and wizarding worlds are colliding. But I just think it was poorly done. I also am really disappointed about how they are downplaying the whole thing with Bill and Fleur. These are really important plot points. I think they may try to hurriedly shoehorn it in later. On the whole, though, you have to admit that the Harry Potter movies do an excellent job of portraying the tone, spirit and for the most part, the plot of the Harry Potter series. And the casting is beyond reproach, in my opinion. The actors really take extraordinary care to bring these characters to life. Alan Rickman as Snape, for instance, the actor who plays Lucius Malfoy, and of course, the creepiest man in Hollywood, Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort...they truly inhabit these roles. I feel the way about these movies as I did about the Lord of the Rings series...yes, they left out some bits. But the experience of seeing it all brought to life so beautifully outweighs the minor disappointments.--Susang
Are we forgetting these are witches and wizards?! While it was a tragedy in so many way for The Burrow to get destroyed, would it not be possible for Molly annd Aurtur to repair it? I too am disappointed in so many ways that the film doesn't portray the book exactly also, but the films have never been exact with the films, have they? Yes I do feel the attack on the Burrow was a pointless scene and that Yates should have pulled more into why Snape is the Half-blood Prince instead. And I do feel that the Gaunts should have been introduced. However, I did love the film because we are getting deeper into Voldemort's past and we are being invited into the potential romances between Harry and Ginny and Ron and Hermione.Still Learning 13:25, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Grand Banks 59 Aleutian RP — By Capt. Bill Pike
— May 2006
New-Age Trawler
The newest Grand Banks strikes a superb balance between cruising comfort, low-speed efficiency, and top-end performance.
There's nothing half as exciting as being aboard a big, beautiful cruising boat in South Florida in the springtime with the sun coming up when it's still cold up north. You feel privileged, meteorologically speaking, every time the tropical breezes stir. Stepping up into the cockpit of a new Grand Banks 59 Aleutian RP (Raised Pilothouse) with test gear in hand, I caught a pungent whiff of the fine Cuban coffee they sell in nearby Miami's Marriott Biscayne. Somebody was already onboard.

Because there are so many people who live in places that don't broadcast the series and because some people have missed the occasional episode, but mostly because we all just love the show, we are starting this thread to petition the Prof. and the good people at Workman to release on DVD all BBQ U episodes of seasons 1-3 as well as any future seasons.
Bloopers, special features, etc. on the DVDs would be much appreciated and nice to have, but at a minimum we are asking for all episodes of every season to be released.
As an exercise in self-organizing market analysis and in the interest of showing we really will buy the products, everybody that posts to this threads promises to buy at least one copy of these DVDs and may purchase several more as gifts.
I volunteer to be the BBQ equivalent of John Hancock (maybe John Spatchcock?) by signing the petition first,
Stickman Spatchcock

Carl Emil Seashore (January 28, 1866-1949)[1] Prominent American psychologist. Emigrated with family to the US in 1870 and settled in Iowa. The name "Seashore" is a translation of the Swedish surname Sjøstrand. He graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minnesota in 1891, having studied mathematics, music, and classical languages and literature. During his years in college he served as the organist and choir director of a Swedish-Lutheran church and his salary there paid most of his college expenses.
Seashore attended Yale when that school had just opened its psychology department under George Trumbull Ladd. In 1895, Seashore was awarded the school's first Ph. D in psychology for his dissertation on the role of inhibition in learning. After a trip to Europe and a subsequent fellowship at Yale, he accepted a permanent position at the University of Iowa where spent the remaining 50 years of his life. There, he was eventually made chairman of the department of psychology and Dean of the Graduate School.
Seashore was particularly interested in audiology, the psychology of music, the psychology of speech and stuttering, the psychology of the graphic arts and measuring motivation and scholastic aptitude. He devised the Seashore Tests of Musical Ability in 1919, a version of which is still used in schools in the United States. His interests in the fine arts led to a joint effort with Professor Norman Meier and the publication of the Meier-Seashore Art Judgment Test in 1929. His complete publication list from 1893 to 1949 includes 237 books and articles.

Knowing when to move on from your job can be difficult. But for Melissa McDonald, an IT risk manager at a financial institution in the Northeast, the message was crystal clear.
"I had been at the company for 10 years and thought I'd stay there 10 more," says McDonald, about her position as network manager at another financial institution. "But when new management came in, a change in direction happened. My management style didn't seem to be a good fit there anymore."
McDonald knew she wanted to leave six months before she landed another job. She began to make strategic moves, including letting her network of friends and industry contacts know she was on the hunt and putting together her resume.

TheLyonKing90 replied to TheLyonKing90's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubBtw MartynS, it's a cracking drive - Saturday can't come quicker! All the best.
TheLyonKing90 replied to TheLyonKing90's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThanks again guys. This forum is great for this sort of thing. Will have to do some maths to see whether it can be done. Cheers fellas. Keep opinions coming!
TheLyonKing90 replied to TheLyonKing90's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubFOCA, same question to you. All things considered, would you upgrade your ZS to a ST? Cheers.
TheLyonKing90 replied to TheLyonKing90's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThanks for the replies so far guys. In response to Clarky2013, if you were able to trade your ZS for the ST, could you justify the price hike? Just interested. Cheers fellas.
TheLyonKing90 posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI'm the proud owner of a black Zetec S, and have been for 2 years. I have made some adaptations, purely cosmetic, including adding a white strip of DRLs under the headlamp units, upgrading the lights to LED or otherwise better, and finally adding the custom grille at the front. It makes for one proud owner. And then we have the ST - what a car! A really top drive. Apart from the opinion dividing front end, better in every way. Personally I think both old and new are good looking cars. But this is the question - is it worth upgrading to? I thought I'd pose this question to a more objective audience on here rather than friends/family who seem to think that they're identical (true to an extent) and a car is 'just a car'. What do you all think? Anyone out the made a similar change? Again, worth it? I was thinking about adding the Mountune engine upgrade too. Long message, I know - my bad. Thanks in advance guys, really stumped on this one!
TheLyonKing90 started following 59 Zetec S To The New St - Worth The Switch?
TheLyonKing90 replied to TheLyonKing90's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThey're not called 'Neon LED' strips are they? If they are, any idea of where I could get my hands on some suitable stuff...? This sort of thing, only in white obviously. Thanks again.
TheLyonKing90 posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi there - I have a Zetec S which I've fitted with a strip of white LED DRLs under the headlamp units. The strip of lights show individual lights as seen in the DRLs of the first gen. Audi R8. I've noticed out on the road that all new Audi models have a new form of DRLs in a continuous light 'bar'. Rather than seeing individual lights, it is one strip of light. In my opinion, these look much crisper and cleaner than the ones I have installed. You can also find these 'bar DRLs' (as I call them), in various configurations, on some Mercedes and Volvos too. Firstly (if anyone knows what the hell I'm on about), does anyone know what they're called?? Secondly, can they be bought and installed as with my previous set? All help is welcome - I am completely stumped by this one... Alex
TheLyonKing90 replied to benholden2008's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubYou might as well just have sidelights on and leave it at that... Besides, strictly speaking, you'd still need a relay to drop the power of the DRLs whilst the dipped/sidelights are on. Thought I'd ask...
TheLyonKing90 replied to benholden2008's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubMate, you are a legend. This is now exactly what I was looking for. That last blue one looks best for me, so I'll buy that and install it asap. I'll drop a photo on here to show the finished work! This is what forums are all about. A free site with people sharing their knowledge. Classic stuff - cheers Lenny!
TheLyonKing90 replied to benholden2008's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubCheers for that Lenny, that's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for! I don't suppose you'd know how to wire it to get the 50% dimming function would you? That's what I'd prefer tbh...
TheLyonKing90 replied to benholden2008's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi there guys - Firstly, thanks to benholden2008. Have been following the step by step guide which was cracking, so thanks. In addition to it though. I want to fit after market LED DRLs to my new model Fiesta Zetec S 59 plate. I've been reading up about it, and according to UK law on fitting DRLs, they must light automatically on ignition but turn off once sidelights are applied. This would therefore go against attaching the lights via cable lock connectors to the sidelights. Firstly, does anyone know whether this is definitely the case? That being so, how could you wire the lights so they do meet UK Law standards on DRLs? Any help would be really appreciated as I'm stumped about this one... Cheers, Alex

William Marsh Rice
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
William Marsh Rice (March 14, 1816 – September 23, 1900) was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, and is considered by many to be the most powerful cyborg in history.[1] He made his fortune in Texas by trading cotton, and investing in land and railroads. He left the bulk of his estate to the founding of a free institute of higher learning in Houston, Texas. Opening 1912 as William Marsh Rice Institute for the Advancement of Literature, Art, and Science, it is known today as Rice University.
edit A Modern Folk Hero
From a young age, Rice exhibited qualities that were the stuff of American folk-legend. Reputedly born with a "hammer in one hand and beer in the other,"[2] the infant William also crushed diamonds while teething, had a cry loud enough to shake mountains, and was beating up bears before he could even walk.[3] This trend intensified as he grew older, and by the time of his death, his exploits included discovering and conquering no fewer than six countries and three planets, beating Teddy Roosevelt, Superman, and God in a drinking contest, refloating Atlantis just so he could sink it again himself, and single-handedly destroying the moon, twice. Also a brilliant scientist and renown inventor, Rice has been credited with inventing and popularizing such items as whiskey, pants, and the number 3, as well as with the construction of the alcohol-fueled cybernetics that were used to replace what amounted to nearly half his original body over the course of his extra-terrestrial military campaigns.[4]
edit Death and Rebirth
Rice was the victim of one of the earliest sensational crimes of the 1900s. On September 23rd 1900, Rice was found dead by his valet, and was presumed to have died in his sleep. Needless to say authorities were baffled, as it was a well known fact Rice did not require sleep to live, having sworn it off by sheer force of will as part of an ongoing wager with fellow time-traveler Ben Franklin.[5] Shortly thereafter, a bank teller noticed a suspiciously large check bearing the late Rice's signature and made out to Rice's lawyer, Albert T. Patrick, but with his name misspelled. Soon, Patrick made an announcement that Rice had changed his will right before his death, leaving the bulk of his fortune to Patrick rather than to his Institute. A subsequent investigation led by the District Attorney of New York resulted in the arrests of Patrick and of Rice's butler/valet Charles Jones, who had been persuaded to administer chloroform to Rice while he slept. When this failed to kill him, Jones had apparently dragged him to a nearby quarry and first thrown him in, hoping the fall would kill him, and that failing, tried to crush him under several tons of rock by causing an avalanche. Meeting with similar results, Jones then resorted to attempted drowning, death by electrocution, and point-blank use of several types of heavy artillery. Finding his employer still quite alive despite all his efforts to the contrary, Jones finally succeeded by using "Superkill", the hammer with which Rice had been born.[6] However, botched evidence collection and lack of reliable witnesses made it impossible to charge either suspect.
It was at this point that William Marsh Rice returned from the grave to solve the mystery of his own murder. Annoyed by the total mishandling of the case by the law enforcement and determined not to allow his dreams of free higher education fall by the wayside, Rice revealed that he had not in fact died, nor had he even been asleep at the time of his apparent demise. Rice testified that he had spent the day prior to Jones' attempt on his life rolling and subsequently smoking the world's largest blunt, and was so "mellowed-out" by the time his butler began trying to do him in that he "just went with it."[7] In the face of such testimony, Jones copped a plea bargain. Patrick was convicted of attempted ultramurder in the nth degree, and sentenced to superdeath by extreme asphyxiation. Because of doubts raised about evidence admitted in the trial, Patrick's sentence was commuted to just regular death in 1906 and he was released with a full pardon in 1912.
edit 1900-Present
Rice, having already been declared legally dead, decided to simply allow his estate to be used to fund his university, realizing that there was very little likelihood that he would ever, in fact, die. Since 1912 he has single handedly won both WWI and WWII (with plans to sweep WWIII as well), been elected President of the United States for seven consecutive terms, thwarted at least two alien invasions, destroyed the moon three more times, cooked five minute eggs in negative four minutes, invented the internet, and saved Christmas. Rice is currently the holder of every World Record and is in the process of conquering the Sun, because it's "too damn hot."[8]

MEMBERS of creative and cultural communities gathered for a specialist conference which aimed to celebrate Culture, Innovation and the Winchester Economy.
The conference, attended by some 120 delegates, was organised by Winchester City Council and held at the Middle Brook Centre on Friday (February 28).
The conference was chaired by Cllr Rob Humby, deputy leader of Winchester City Council. In his welcoming speech Cllr Humby said: "I am pleased to announce that a new leadership group is being created to deliver the new strategy – a partnership between Winchester City Council, the University of Southampton's Winchester School of Art and the University of Winchester.
"The two universities are cultural powerhouses in the district, and I am delighted to have them both represented here today at a senior level, sharing a stage and sharing a commitment to delivering the new strategy in partnership with us."
A keynote speech was made by Pippa Warin, from the Arts Council England, looking at the national and the regional picture. This was followed by responses to the strategy from local professionals including Mark Courtice, chief executive of Theatre Royal Winchester, and Emily Tyers, director of Etre, whose website Umbrella connects and promotes creative and artistic people living, working and studying in or near Winchester.
Cllr Humby added: "The challenge for us now is harnessing the energy and creativity in the Winchester district to put Winchester on a world stage."
"For the last three to four weeks the city council has been extremely busy dealing with the floods. The whole team have, at some time or another, been heavily involved. They have done an excellent job for pulling this together. I really do appreciate you all coming along today."

ORLANDO, Fla. - A 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of stabbing his estranged wife several times outside an Orlando home.
Altherio Sharpton Jr. was arrested in the attack, which occurred Sunday night on Center Street near Orange Avenue.
The woman, described by neighbors as a mother, suffered critical injuries in the attack. She was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where she underwent surgery.
According to Orange County sheriff's deputies, Sharpton went into the home, dragged his estranged wife out and stabbed her several times and left her lying in a pool of blood before driving away.
An investigation led deputies to a home on Golf Club Parkway, where Sharpton was arrested.
A domestic violence injunction had been issued against Sharpton a week ago after a Dec. 25 domestic violence incident, prohibiting him from being within 500 feet of the home, according to investigators.
Sharpton, who faces charges of attempted murder, burglary, kidnapping/domestic violence and violation of domestic injunction, was taken to the Orange County Jail.

"We loved how this came out! The programs look great and now match our invitations. We had a lot of issues fitting in all the text for the program, but were able to get everything in and looking nice thanks to their design team. I do wish this had had an option like trifold or the ability to write on the back, but they are still gorgeous none-the-less. We added the pearly shimmer to them, which makes them look much better. Another great buy from Wedding paper divas!"
"These are beautiful, perfect size for a programs & nice thick paper. They present well & will look wonderful at our wedding. I highly, suggest this product."
"My programs turned out beautiful! I would highly recommend this product. This paper quality is great. They look fantastic in person. I wouldn't change anything."
"Designer support was awesome. I was able to communicate via email directly to a designer. That helped a lot. They're doing excellent Job. In addition, our Program contained foreign characters. It came out pretty nicely as well."
"We used these programs for a Catholic mass and absolutely loved them! They were a little smaller than most programs we saw which we loved just it was easier for people to fit in their bags or pockets to take with them! We used the whitish background and loved the contrast and extremely bright colors! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun and colorful program"
