Starting on the right side of midfield because Ben Olsen is injured, Devon McTavish scored twice to give him three goals in two games. Santino Quaranta, signed as a free agent in the offseason, celebrated his return to RFK Stadium, where he started his promising career as a teenager, by coming off the bench and helping set up the last three goals.
McTavish had not scored in his first two MLS seasons. Quaranta's once-promising MLS career looked to be over at the age of 23 when he was released by New York in January, but D.C. took another shot at the Baltimore product.
Brazilians Luciano Emilio and Fred accounted for the other three goals. Emilio started a three-goal run in five minutes in the second half with the first of his two goals.
The game marked the RFK debut of Argentine star Marcelo Gallardo, whose free kick set up McTavish for the lone first half goal.
D.C. United won, 6-0, on aggregate and advances to the semifinals against the winner of Wednesday's game between Mexico's Pachuca, the defending champion, and Honduran club Motagua.

Aramac Shire delivers 5pc rates rise
Residents in Aramac Shire, in Queensland's central west, are facing a 5 per cent increase in general rates under the shire's budget for the new financial year.
Some budget highlights include $7 million for the Torrens Creeks Road, $1 million for public and age care housing and more than $1 million for a new medical centre.
Aramac Mayor Gary Peoples hopes possible council amalgamations will not interfere with delivering the $21 million budget.
"It paints a great picture for the Aramac Shire ... it's probably one of the biggest budgets we've brought down in the history of the shire if not the biggest, and it's a strange situation we find ourselves in where we might be looking at not being a council in our own right next year and at the same time bringing down the biggest budget in the history of the shire," he said.
Meanwhile, western Queensland mayors say they will stand by each other and resist any council amalgamation that occurs in the region.
Diamantina Shire Mayor Robbie Dare says he will fight for the independence any western councils, even if Diamantina is not affected by the report.
"We decided right from the start that we'd fight as a group ... we've always had a regional focus ... this is one of the main arguments is that we've already been working as a region so, yes, we'll be helping our mates ... we've got funding there .. we'll just wait for today and then next Monday all hell will break loose," he said.

Archibald's Adventures
Review by SneakTheSnake
"A wonderful puzzle-platformer for a very reasonable price."
I don't know if this was the developers' intent when making this game, but this game took me right back to the days of DOS. Everything about it, from the gameplay to the aesthetics to the oodles of levels divided into small episodes - screams 1991. That's not really a bad thing... well, not to me at least. Archibald's Adventures looks, plays and sounds like a game from yestermillennium, and that's just fine with me.
The game follows Archibald, a young skateboarder (nah, not that "ultra mondo extreme" kind of skateboarder" so popular back in the day) out with his friends. He must've skated off the wrong ramp, because he suddenly finds himself in the laboratory of an absent-minded professor. It's up to Archibald to escape the lab and avoid the professor's whacked-out genetic experiments.
This is a puzzle platformer through and through. The goal of each stage is, ostensibly, to get to the goal while avoiding obstacles along the way. Archibald's always on his skateboard, so he can use his built-up momentum to leap across long gaps. He'll be flipping levers, activating pressure pads and avoiding enemies in his little 2D quest. The game starts messing with the formula early on, and it's the switch-ups in gameplay which make the game all the more interesting.
Archibald soon gets a bubble gun; players control the movement of these extra-large bubbles, which can stick to (and transport) boxes around the levels. This is a great game mechanic, and it serves well in the game's various puzzles. Players might have to navigate a box through a series of twisted corridors filled with bubble-popping acids or anti-bubble fields. Players might have to place boxes in such a way so as to activate pressure plates, or to allow Archie to gain momentum and leap from crate to crate. There really is no limit to the kind of puzzles this kind of mechanic allows, and the game takes advantage of this liberty in its sprawling amount of levels - more than 150, to be exact.
Even further in the game, Archibald gets to commandeer a special metallic sphere. The sphere can cling to metallic surfaces, and it comes with a large metallic arm which can grab onto faraway metallic platforms to cling to. This is on top of the already-established bubble-blowing gameplay. You'll be rolling along ceilings and floors, blowing bubbles to transport boxes and hit faraway switches, and just making a general mess of the professor's twisted, labyrinthine levels. It's a blast.
The game is jam-packed with content for such a minimal price, and the levels get taxing very early on; this lends itself to hours of head-scratching gameplay. Not to mention the levels where the player controls the professor himself (who mans a jetpack and can travel pretty much anywhere in a given level). In a great move, the developers have opened up almost every level from the get-go; in addition to a long campaign, there are bonus levels, extra chapters "just for fun" and enough post-campaign content to constitute a second campaign all its own.
The game comes with a few caveats. The game's pretty basic in its looks and aesthetics. I imagine that's intentional, but this is really sad, even for a PSP-Mini (whose game's graphics have never been held to much of a graphical standard anyway). The sprites in Archibald's Adventures are primitive at best, as are the 256-color backgrounds and enemies. It's not an unattractive game, but it's a very low-tech one, to the point of being potentially off-putting to potential players. The soundtrack is catchy, but it has the same difficulty as the graphics; the low-tech music sounds like it came from a 90's synthesizer. Sound effects are minimal and, as one could guess, there's no voiceover work.
As a big fan of puzzle games, I can't recommend Archibald's Adventures enough, based purely on its fun gameplay mechanics, heaps of content and charming old-school aesthetic. Sure, the game doesn't come with many bells or whistles, and there's no multiplayer. The graphics might be a bit too primitive for some, and the analog controls might bother players who want more precise movement of the character while he's on a skateboard or in the metallic sphere (Archibald tends to bounce off surfaces a lot, and it's hard for him to make a good, clean stop), but there's enough here to keep players occupied for quite a while.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

text: Your wedding dress: Turn something old into something new By Julie Robinson September 8, 2012 Story Share Chris Dorst Intricate lace and seed pearls from a wedding gown embellish a fully lined and clasped pocketbook. Chris Dorst Armelia Pannell fashioned this jacket from the lining of a gown. "Wear it with jeans," she says. "Just wear it." Chris Dorst The back of a debutante gown is finished with fabric roses and a bustle and edged with hand-sewn pearl trim. Chris Dorst Lacy trim dresses up an otherwise plain coverlet and shams. Chris Dorst The fabric for dining room tablecloth, chair backs and seat covers came from a single wedding gown and train. Chris Dorst An especially ornate piece of trim makes an eye-catching necklace when paired with pearl earrings. Chris Dorst A round table topper is edged with ecru roses removed from the shoulder and down the back of a wedding gown. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- "Where's your wedding gown?"Through the years, Armelia Pannell has asked many married women that question. The answer is usually the same. Their gowns either hang in the back of a closet or languish in a box in the attic."What a waste. Do you know how much money they cost?" she asks. "They're such beautiful things. Don't hide them away."And don't save them for your daughter or niece, Pannell says, because they probably won't want to wear an outdated style. Every woman wants to pick out her own gown.Pannell, a talented seamstress who hates waste, has a solution. She and the ladies in the class she spearheads at Shawnee Senior Center have made more than 60 items from used wedding gowns. They'll show the treasures -- carefully embellished towels, table toppers, a footstool covering, lingerie bags, tea cozies, dining room tablecloths, jewelry and lampshades -- at a gallery show at 10 a.m. Sept. 15 in the clubhouse at Shawnee Park, Dunbar.The time-consuming projects required the painstaking removal of lace, pearls and other fancy details and then sewing them to an item made from the gowns' fabric or lining. "Some gowns take seven hours just to remove the embellishments," Pannell said.A christening gown and cap or a debutante or first communion dress make sentimental gifts, especially if the wedding gown was worn by a special family member or friend. Pannell made an exquisite white gown for her 8-year-old granddaughter to wear as a debutante."She loved it. She's prissy," Pannell said of the satin gown with a tulle overskirt and seed pearl trim. Although she has married twice, Pannell didn't wear a formal gown for either ceremony, so she scoured thrift stores for used ones. She usually paid between $50 and $75 for the gowns and looked especially for heavily embellished ones to use for creations she and the women in her class created.She gloats a bit over one of her best finds. She spotted a size-18 gown with a long train in a used-clothing store in Chicago, and paid just $23 for it. That's a lot of fabric. They used every part of the gown, as they do for all the projects.The lining of an ecru gown covers a footstool. Another gown provided the fabric and decorative touches to a set of lined bags a bride could use to transport items to her wedding -- an insulated bag for a curling iron and a lingerie and shoe bag, complete with pockets inside to keep the shoes separated."Can you find the seams in the edges of these embellishments? No; I always match them," she said. A woman in her class made a wedding doll out of a wedding gown. "That's really an heirloom."The intricate lacy embellishments command a high price in fabric stores, so Pannell doesn't waste any of them. She applies them to vases, goblets, glasses and hand bells and fashions them into an ornate necklace and matching earrings.An oval tablecloth edged with elaborate lace and seed pearls covers a dining room table. Matching panels made from the same gown cover the chair backs and seats. Each piece of edging was removed from the bottom of the gown and sewn into place along the cloth's edge. She sewed each of the hundreds of pearls into place. Where does she get these ideas? "They just come to me. I've first thought about doing this a long time ago. When I started writing down the ideas, I came up with 40 right away."Even the bride's shoes don't escape Pannell's notice. They become a container for flowers or a pincushion. Larger projects include a cream-colored, lace-edged shower curtain and a bedspread and shams trimmed in lacy cutwork."People can see all these at the show," Pannell said. I hope they'll see all the things they can do with their wedding gowns and be inspired to please get them out of the closet and do something with them."Want to go?WHAT: Gallery of Wedding Gowns Transformed, an open house presented by Shawnee Seniors Group and Armelia PannellWHEN: 10 a.m. Sept. 15 WHERE: Shawnee Park ClubhouseCOST: FreeReach Julie Robinson at email@example.com or 304-348-1230.

PRESENTED BY SCREAM FACTORY. Co-presented by Shock Till You Drop.
"Eat a bowl of f***! I am here to PARTY!" A crimson-soaked synthesis of everything that was great about late-'80s horror, Night of the Demons is a blast of high energy. Using the time-honored premise of teenagers looking for kicks at a spooky house, director Kevin Tenney draws from the same horror-comedy well as Evil Dead 2 and Return of the Living Dead. Here, it's all about the gags, the gore and the good times: on the night of Halloween, ten teens decide to bust out the kegs (and the boners) for a throwdown/séance at an abandoned funeral parlor, which works out for them about as well as a Dukakis presidential bid. What sets Night of the Demons apart is its female horror icon in the form of possessed weirdo Angela — and the infamous scene involving scream queen Linnea Quigley, her boobs and a seriously strange application of lipstick doesn't hurt either. You owe it to yourself to to catch this one in glorious, goryous 35mm — one of the best of its era, and rarely screened. Director Kevin Tenney & makeup effects artist Steve Johnson, along with cast members Donnie Jeffcoat, Linnea Quigley, Cathy Podewell, Amelia Kinkade, Hal Havins, Jim Quinn and Billy Gallo, will all be here in person for a Q&A before the film — plus, Scream Factory giveaways!
Dir. Kevin S. Tenney, 1988, 35mm, 87 min.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Ohio Department of Health says the number of swine flu cases in Ohio has increased to 54, and most involve people who had contact with hogs at fairs.
Officials say they haven't determined any Ohio cases of the virus spreading from person to person.
The confirmed cases involve people between the ages of 6 months and 36 years old. Five of them were hospitalized but have since been treated and released.
Officials say the current strain of the virus appears mild and is similar to a seasonal flu that responds quickly to treatment.
Health officials are urging people attending fairs to wash their hands frequently before and after exposure to animals. County fairs in Ohio run into the first week of October.

On the other hand, in the current development community around numpy, and among the subscribers to this mailing list, I suspect there is more Cython experience than C++ experience. Of course it might be that so-far undiscovered C++ developers are drawn to a C++ rewrite of Numpy. But it that really likely? I can see a C++ developer being drawn to C++ performance library they would use in their C++ applications, but it's harder for me to imagine a C++ programmer being drawn to a Python library because the internals are C++.

text: I tried to load .308 rounds last night. Using my new LEE collet die on once fired brass. I resized deprimed, did all the prep work i usually do. Cases are to spec. Case neck mesaures .306.5. Throw my powder and begin to seat the Sierra 168 HPBT. Seat 6-7 bullets, then this happens. I check my die adjustment and everything, only to get it smashing the cases worse. Before it all went bad i did have trouble getting a consistent bullet seating depth. I am baffled i have loaded thousands of .308 and never had this problem. Have never adjusted the body of the seating die because i use the breech lock press and the die has the micro adjustment knob for bullet depth. Could it have something to do with the collet die? or the die broke? or ME. Thanks

|Wave Trip
|Developer: Lucky Frame
|Release Date: January 22, 2013
|Publisher: Lucky Frame
|ESRB Rating: N/A
|Platforms: iOS
Music-centric games occupy a special place in my heart. Games and music form a joyous union that can only be defined as a match made in heaven. Because of that, Lucky Frame is one of my favorite developers on the iOS. Their previous title Bad Hotel, an IGFfinalist, is one of the most inventive and charming titles mobile gaming has ever seen. Expectations are understandably high with their new outing Wave Trip. But does it stand up to its brilliant predecessor? Two words: Hell yes.
Wave Trip puts you in the control of an astronaut in a spaceship who's out on a mission to free his friends. That's just about everything you need to know to begin Wave Trip's lyrically beautiful journey. The spaceship automatically moves forward, with you being left in charge of controlling its vertical movement. The levels in the game have numerous tokens to be collected. The blue ones increase your score multiplier and the orange ones grant you points in accordance with the multiplier. These orange tokens also free the aforementioned friends of the astronaut.
While the basic control scheme and gameplay are pretty familiar, the magic begins when the music element comes into play. You see, each token is associated with a specific musical cue. Collecting a token produces the tune associated with it on a loop. While each level comes along with a base tune that sets the number of beats per minute, these token tunes play over it, essentially letting you create a musical pattern. The order in which you collect these tokens determines the nature of the pattern that plays. It's an absolutely amazing concept that plays out beautifully well. The ability to create your own soundtrack for each level is just as fun and exciting as it sounds.
There are some obstacles as well as enemies that you need look out for. While there is no death in this game, running into an obstacle will reset your multiplier as well as the musical pattern playing in the backdrop, which is essentially the worst possible punishment in a game that is all about increasing your score and building up melodies. However, you have two shields which can be activated to protect yourself. These shields recharge for a brief period before being used again.
In addition to its musical roots, Wave Trip is essentially a highscore-chasing, competitive title. The scores for each level are submitted, letting you compete with your friends, chase down the global highscore and show off your coin-collecting prowess.
While the lack of enough content is the only real complaint I have with this otherwise flawless title, this little issue is also remedied to a great extent by the inclusion of a level editor. The level editor lets you create your own levels, and provides a platform where you can flaunt your creativity to other players. You can use the intuitive and extremely easy to use editor to create as big or small a level as you want. You can also try out other players' levels. Each level is also tracked in terms of the number of plays and likes it gets, with the most liked levels making it to the top of the 'Popular' list. It essentially offers endless play time with many well designed levels already available.
The presentation in Wave Trip is fantastic. The game itself looks drop-dead gorgeous. It sports a simplistic, 2D geometric visual style that works for it and complements its overall look and feel. The animations are lucid, beautiful and just a joy to watch.
The soundtrack is exceptionally well constructed. With nearly 20 different types of tokens available to be toyed around with, Lucky Frame did some excellent job clearly defining the associated musical undertones of each token. It's just an absolute sensory joy when you listen to the final end-result of your coin hunt. You can't help but hum along to the perfect, mesmerizing harmony created by a mixture of guitar strums, percussion beats and various other electronic audio cues. Wave Trip trumps Bad Hotel when it comes to the overall presentation, which is hard to believe considering just how good Bad Hotel itself was.
Overall, Wave Trip is an absolute delight. The coin collecting gameplay and the sophisticated melody creation amalgamate flawlessly to deliver a truly exceptional and unforgettable experience that needs to be had by anyone owning an iOS-running device. Even if you don't, borrow it from a friend and play it. This is one musical journey you don't want to miss.

Miss C opted for a beauty shoot, which is something that captures her beauty and sensuality while also being a fantastic idea for social media, profile photos, and of course "stuff you can show your family!".

Miss L came to visit me in the studio for her first boudoir shoot to create one hot memorable gift for her hubby. She is not only a total goddess but an amazing woman to work with. Miss L's shoot was definitely one of the most memorable ones for me as she was 6 weeks pregnant and absolutely glowing!

Miss I reached out to me so that I can help with creating a sexy birthday gift for her man, she wanted to surprise him with something completely different this time. So naturally, I asked Miss I if her man would be brave enough to do a steamy boudoir couples shoot.

Miss M dropped by my studio last week to "get-her-sexy-back", which is something shes been meaning to do for the past year or so! "After having 2 kids and turning 39, it's time for a make over!", she cheerfully gasped. While she didn't feel a boudoir shoot was the right type of shoot for her at the time, she instead opted for a BEAUTY shoot, which is something that will still capture her beauty and sensuality while also being a fantastic idea for social media, profile photos, and of course "stuff you can show your family!". I've already had a vision of how her session would go and was really stoked to shoot with Miss M. Imagine the possibilities!

I often receive emails from ladies that are unsure about themselves... they ask me questions that stem from doubt and insecurity -- that honest belief that for whatever reason they aren't "good enough", "pretty enough", or "experienced enough" for boudoir photography. Personally, I'm not surprised by this all too common assumption, but not because it's the truth (ehm, it's bullshit!), but because it's easy and the safe route to undervalue yourself and view boudoir photography as an art form only reserved for the likes of celebrities and super models.

Miss N had everything under control! The shoot felt like it was straight out of NASA launch control center and it was incredible! She nailed our preparation checklist, and gave us some extremely useful feedback. All of her outfits were neatly pressed and all tags and labels were removed. The last thing anyone wants is wrinkled outfits to spoil their shoot. Miss N brought a wide variety of cute, sexy and romantic outfits. My personal favourite was her black garter belt and of course there is something about high waisted underwear that just looks amazing.

The growing popularity of boudoir photography is responsible for some of the most incredible correspondence coming from ladies honestly curious to know a little more about this emerging genre of photography. So who better to share their view on the subject than an actual boudoir photographer! As someone who thoroughly enjoys the uniquely personal and artistic nature of boudoir I'm always excited to write about why I love boudoir photography, and why you should too!
Published January 13, 2016
Miss N arrived for her session a little nervous yet excited. As soon as she stepped into our staged penthouse studio we went through her outfits looking for something cute and sexy. We had so much fun discussing the type of boudoir photography style she would like that the hair and makeup portion of the session felt like a blur. A glass of bubbly and many laughs later, our beautiful model was posing like she did it a thousand times!

I encountered an interesting question the other day, it was in reference to our boudoir photography pricing. A potential client emailed and asked why we no longer have a $99 special like those seen on Groupon and other daily deal sites. Don't we want to compete with other boudoir studios? I wrote a reply and figured it would be best to share it with you all on my blog. The reply was edited to protect the identity of the client.

Miss R was so enthusiastic to book her 2nd shoot that it put a big 'ole grin on my face as I'm always excited to see our clients return for more! Her first shoot was during the 2015 Valentine's Day boudoir marathon at the Sheraton, she came well prepared with numerous cute and sexy outfits and stylish heels. The session turned out beautifully and Miss R had a blast excitedly surprising her boyfriend with a set of steaming images of her gorgeous self.

Miss D is one of those super energetic clients that I absolutely love to work with! Of course at first she was a little nervous, so leading up to the shoot we exchanged a few emails and phone calls to ensure her session would go off without a hitch. When Miss D arrived, she came well prepared bringing a garment bag filled with fabulous outfits and shoes that we were of course very excited about! I couldn't help but think of all the possibilities with having such a great selection of outfits.

A couple of weeks ago I had an amazing conversation with a potential client. In an effort to convince her girlfriend to do a back-to-back shoot she asked me what are some of my personal reasons on why I think every woman should do a boudoir shoot at least once in their life. At that moment I realized that I had a hard time answering the question, not because I didn't know the answer — but because it was such an important and complex topic with many possible "correct" answers. So as I tried to sound coherent, I nervously babbled for what must have seemed like an eternity only to realize that unless I had a chance to really give it some thought I would never be able to give my passion for boudoir photography the credit it deserves.

It's that time of the year again, and thus far 2015 has been absolutely amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed every shoot with you lovely ladies. It was an absolute pleasure! Over the past year we have been getting a plethora of requests for fabulous tushie shots ever since our photos were featured on @bestboudoir and other boudoir blogs showing off those luscious curves. Our many thanks go out to all the ladies that decided to let us use their curvy tushies on facebook sneak peeks and instagram!

Most women who book a shoot with us feel nervous, unprepared, scared or just plain not ready for many reasons. But you know what... they did it because they knew deep down they deserved this, and in some ways needed it. Miss A came to us to help her create some steaming images that featured her gorgeous self! We're absolutely thrilled when clients do boudoir shoots just for themselves. It's empowering, confidence building and celebrating who you are right now, not next week, but now!

Miss J wanted to celebrate a special milestone with this session and thought it would be a lot of fun! She arrived well prepared with a suitcase full of cute and sexy outfits, shoes and accessories, which we loved. We encourage our clients to bring a wide selection of outfits to their shoot as then we have much more to play with. Miss J was calming her nerves with a glass of bubbly before her shoot while having her hair and makeup done. To be clear, she did awesome! Considering how 'nervous' she claimed to be!

Javanese Gamelan and Its Music
A gamelan (orchestra) traditionally accompanies puppet shows, dances, feasts, and ceremonies in Java. Most of the instruments are made of bronze. Tuned gongs are suspended vertically or horizontally (kenong, kempul, gong ageng), and instruments with tuned keys are suspended over tubular resonators or a resonant cavity in the base of the instrument (saron, gender). Other instruments include the two-stringed fiddle (rebab), wooden xylophone (gambang), flute (suling), and drum (kendang). A full Javanese gamelan comprises two sets of instruments, one in each of two tuning systems, or pathetan: sléndro, with five tones per octave, and pélog, with seven. The three pathet used in the course of a shadow-puppet play (wayang) all have their distinct manifestations in both tuning systems.
No instrument predominates in the overall sound of the gamelan. Each one has an important function that relates to the whole. As for the music, rather than harmony and development in the Western sense, the primary organizing feature is a vocally inspired modal polyphony of a highly melodic character. Compositions (gendhing) are quite formal, for all their quality of ethereal improvisation. Every gamelan piece is cast in one of a small number of forms defined by the mutually subdividing cycles of certain gongs, most prominently, the gong ageng (great gong). The cyclic organization allows great flexibility in creating pieces of differing character; even within a piece, subtle (or dramatic) shifts in feeling occur as cycles slow down or speed up.- Sumarsam and his students at Wesleyan University
- Ladrang Sri Widada
laras pelog pathet barang
Javanese gamelan music is structured on the basis of repeating cycles. The largest cycles are divided by the sounding of the great gong (gong ageng), and each major cycle is called a gongan. Various subdivisions of the gongan are punctuated by smaller gongs, such as the kenong and kempul. The term ladrang in the title of this piece refers to a composition with a relatively short cycle of thirty-two beats in each gongan, compared to long-form cycles up to 128 beats.
Javanese music is also classified according to the scale (laras) and melodic mode (pathet) of each piece. This piece is in the scale called pelog, which ostensibly consists of seven notes to the octave. In practice, however, only five of the available notes are typically used with any frequency. Contrary to the slendro scale of the third piece on this podcast, the notes of the pelog scale are not equally spaced, leading some scholars to call them "gapped scales." The melodic mode (pathet) for this piece is barang, in which pitches two and six are emphasized, three and five less so, and pitch one avoided. The form ladrang is one of the shorter cycle compositions of thirty-two beats per gong cycle.
- Golek Menak Kakung
Ladrang Jagung-Jagung, continuing to ladrang Kembang Kates, and concluding with srepegan laras pelog pathet nem
The second item in this podcast is music for a dance based on the Menak stories from the court of Yogyakarta. Adapted from Islamic culture, these tales recount the adventures of Amir Hamzah, an uncle of the Prophet Mohammad, who spread Islam throughout South Asia. This scene depicts a fight between Umarmaya and Umarmadi. Ultimately, both of them follow Amir Hamzah on his Islamic mission. The Golek Menak dance was created by Sultan Hamengku Buwana IX in 1941. The dancers for this performance were Icuk Ismunanda and Widaru Krefianto Darmawan.
For the first two sections of this music, the structure is ladrang. There are thirty-two beats to the rhythmic cycle, each one ending when the great gong (gong ageng) is sounded. The finale utilizes a form called srepegan, which is typically heard in the fight scenes of shadow plays and dance-dramas. It can be picked out by its loud volume, fast tempo, and short, four-beat cycle. The scale (laras) is pelog, as in the first piece of the podcast, with the notes unequally spaced within the octave. The melodic mode (pathet) for this piece is nem, in which pitches five and six are emphasized and pitch seven is avoided.
- Ladrang Sri Karongron
Ketawang Cakrawala (Wasitodiningrat, ca. 1909‒2007)
laras slendro pathet sanga
These two pieces are in different musical forms based on the length of their repeating cycles. The terms ketawan and ladrang in the titles refer to compositions with relatively short cycles of sixteen and thirty-two beats in each repeating cycle (gongan). They both use the Javanese scale called laras slendro, a pentatonic scale (five notes to the octave) in which the pitches are more or less equidistant from each other. The melodic mode for these two pieces is pathet sanga, which emphasizes the first and fifth tones, the second tone less so, and avoids the third tone.
The composer of the second piece, Wasitodiningrat,is known to many American gamelan musicians as Pak Cokro because of his twenty-year teaching career at the California Institute of the Arts and his guest artist role at universities around the United States. He grew up in the Pakualaman court, where his father was a gamelan musical director. Outside the court, he performed with several other gamelan groups, including Daya Pradangga, and in 1934 he became the gamelan musical director at the radio station MAVRO. He assumed the same position during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia (1942–45) at Radio Hosokyoku gamelan and, after independence, at Radio Republik Indonesia.
In 1962 Wasitodiningrat succeeded his father as gamelan musical director at the Pakualaman, and in 1964 and 1965 he led a Javanese music delegation at the New York World's Fair. During the 1960s, Wasitodiningrat composed music for a new genre, the sendratari dance-drama, including the first performances held at the Lara Jonggrang temple complex in Prambanan. He taught at Konservatori Tari Indonesia and Akademi Seni Tari Indonesia and founded his own school for the study of vocal music. He collaborated with choreographer Bagong Kussudiardjo and composed numerous light gamelan pieces and experimental works, many of which have become staples of the gamelan repertory. In 1971 he moved to the United States to teach at the California Institute of the Arts. He remained until 1992 and frequently taught at other American universities as guest artist.
- Lawung Jajar
Gangsaran, ladrang Roning Tawang, gangsaran, laras pelog pathet nem
The podcast concludes with exciting music for a dance choreographed by Sultan Hamengku Buwana I (reigned 1755−92) of the Yogyakarta Palace. This dance is based on the military traditions of the court, specifically the lance maneuvers called lawung. The use of loud dialogue reflects the high spirit and dynamic character of the royal troops. The Lawung Jajar calls for eight male dancers, each with different roles and characters. Traditionally, Lawung Jajar is presented at royal wedding ceremonies for the sons and daughters of the king of Yogyakarta Palace. The dancers for this performance were Yata, Pramutomo, Icuk Ismunandar, Widaru Krefianto Darmawan, and Anon Suneko.
The structure of the music is called ladrang, meaning there are thirty-two beats to the rhythmic cycle, each one ending when the great gong (gong ageng) is sounded. The scale (laras) is pelog, as in the first piece of the podcast, with the notes unequally spaced within the octave. The melodic mode (pathet) for this piece is nem, in which pitches five and six are emphasized and pitch seven is avoided.

The Javanese classical fiddle, called rabab, is heard in quieter portions of this music. This instrument may be the largest and most ornate descendant of the Arab rebab, an ancient bowed instrument that traveled the Silk Routes throughout Asia beginning about the tenth century. The fiddle design became the rebec in Europe, the kamenche of Persia, the huur of Mongolia, the erhu of China, the kyokyu of Japan, and the rabab of Java. The musician here is Harjito.
Female vocalists in central Javanese gamelan music are called pesinden. Their melodies draw from melodic formulas enriched with interjections and variations, all leading to the principal notes of each section of the composition. Their lyrics are based on richly allusive couplets of twelve-syllable lines divided into four- and eight-syllable units. The role of pesinden is especially important in shadow-puppet plays (wayang). The singer on this recording (above) is Sri Wahyuningsih.
The Javanese gamelan consists of many bronze gongs and bronze-keyed xylophones. The hanging gongs are kempul. The smaller horizontal gongs at left are bonang; the larger ones (rear right) are kenong. At front is the gambang xylophone and at right are two thin-keyed gender. The two-headed drums (kendang) signal shifts in the music; the xylophone with a mallet is one of several heavy-keyed saron that carry the main melody.

In the traditional Yogyanese dance Srimpi Pandhelori, four female dancers wear identical costumes and perform the same postures and movements to symbolize the four cosmic directions and the balance of four human desires. The dancers for this performance were Rhea Janitra Ajiningtyas, Nurul Dwi Utami, Siti Nurul Pristisari, and Paranditya Wintarni.

NEIL LENNON never had any doubt his players possessed the backbone required to fight back from trailing by 15 points in the title race.
But strengthening the spine of the team is the essential surgery required ahead of next season if the Hoops are to stand up to the rigours of defending their SPL title and making inroads into Europe.
The goalkeeping situation is still up in the air as Lennon attempts to tie down Fraser Forster on a long-term deal. The giant 24-year-old is the man the Parkhead boss wants, but personal terms remain to be agreed.
Lennon knows he must have alternatives up his sleeve and with Craig Gordon set to be released by Sunderland, pressure may be exerted to get Forster's agent at the table to determine if the man who has been at Celts on loan for the last two years is now prepared to commit for the next four.
A powerful central defender, preferably an experienced one, is another must for Lennon and the way has been cleared with the departure of Glenn Loovens, Daniel Majstorovic and Darren O'Dea.
Leicester's Matt Mills is one target. But again Lennon has several irons in the fire after collating all the reports from his scouting team.
A striker who can capitalise on the service from the wide areas, particularly when the ball is delivered in the air, is another high priority.
But, of course, such men come at a premium, so others may have to leave to pave the way for arrivals.
With midfield the best furnished of all the departments in the side, there is room for movement there, and Ki Sung-Yueng is already earmarked as potential saleable asset.
Former Celtic keeper Pat Bonner has been a keen student of the transformation Lennon has brought about over the past two seasons, and he would add a creative midfielder to the shopping list already defined.
The ex-Republic of Ireland star recognises it is also vital Celtic hold on to the quality players they already have, with the likes of Gary Hooper already a target for Premiership clubs. He said: "They were lucky last year to move Aiden McGeady on for £9million. Celtic are no longer a team that can hold on to all their talent."
HE ADDED: "If someone comes in with a ridiculous bid, they may have to sell to finance the restructuring of the team. But I'm sure Neil wants to keep a 29-goal striker. That takes a lot of money to replace."
Hooper was a vital cog in the Green Machine that drove Celtic back to the top of the SPL, but Bonner reckons the hard work has only just begun. He said: "Winning the league has sent out a message to everyone that Celtic are back, and I think Neil has built a really good young squad.
"He'll have to add a couple, and move a few out. Fans will demand success in Europe, and it's hugely important to get through the qualifying rounds.
"Neil knows he has the backing of the supporters and the board, but the hard work starts now.
"He has an enormous squad, so he'll need to trim before he can add. Celtic no longer have the huge reserves to go out and spend £10m or £15m.
"I'm sure he knows who he'd like, but I'd like to see someone in the middle of the pitch who can go and pass really good balls for people making runs.
"They possibly need a striker, too, someone who can take the weight off Hooper, while playing alongside him.
"And if they want to be effective in Europe, they may need to get a player who has real character and the ability to play out from the back."

I've been having some strange things happen on my XP Pro laptop for a few months. So far, I've been able to find some things on what appears to have been going on, but now I'm stuck.
Every once in a while, most of all when the laptop comes out of screen saver mode, there's a DOS window there, that wasn't there before, or it appears after a few seconds after coming back up. It belongs to svchost, the Windows Services control program. So far, I found out that it's an instance of perl (in my case, ActivePerl 5.8.8), waiting for a script. If I type in perl commands, and then enter "__END__" on a line of its own, then first the commands get executed, and then the window closes. I can see what it outputs by adding an END block that postpones the exiting of the program.
In short, it appears that svchost runs, for an obscure reason, perl without any command line parameters. Why? Not a clue.
So, any clue to what might cause this, or how I could find out? I suspect there's a weird entry for perl in the registry, somewhere, and svchost acts on it.

TWO Lyme Regis rowers are gearing up for their world record attempt to row across the Atlantic ocean in less than two months.
Elliot Dale, 54, and Chris Walters, 55, from Lyme Regis Gig Club, will try and row 3,246 miles across the Atlantic from New York to the Isles of Scilly in less than 55 days to raise money for the Children's Hospice South West.
The pair will undertake the gruelling challenge in their Row4PreciousLives boat and officially launched the boat at a ceremony in Plymouth last weekend.
They are now stepping up their training and fundraising efforts as the start date, June 6, edges ever nearer.
Elliot Dale said: "The training has been going all right. We haven't been able to get out on the water as much as we like because of the weather but we are starting to get out more as the weather improves.
"We get out about four or five times a week, which are hour-long sessions. These long distance endurance rows are very difficult to train for. We are just getting out on the water rowing and it's a question of building up our stamina."
The current record for crossing the ocean is 55 days and was set by two Norwegian rowers in 1896.
Only one other team of two rowers has since completed the crossing by the same route.
The Lyme pair have set a fundraising target of £300,000 by the time they finish their mission and will donate all of the funds to Children's Hospice South West. Mr Dale said he and Mr Walters were both confident they will complete the task.
He added: "There is no point in starting something like this if you think you can't do it.
"We have had a lot of support from the people of Lyme Regis, the rest of the country and even as far as the Netherlands. "The hospice costs so much to run each year and it really is a fantastic cause."
Alana Marie Smith, director of fundraising for Children's Hospice South West said: "There is no underestimating the challenge Chris and Elliott are taking on, and it is incredible that they have chosen Children's Hospice South West as the charity to benefit. "They will experience extreme conditions and will be required to row continually during the day. We want to wish them all the very best of luck and perfect weather conditions to bring them home safe."

By now, there were two men before me in the queue. Apparently they did not know each other, but they knew they were both "Brothers," which was enough for them to talk affectionately. "They look strange," said the first, pointing at the opponents. "Indeed they do," said the other. "Beating them is the only way."
Reports from Egypt are beginning to take on a strange William Shirer "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" quality. It's hard not to see certain similarities between the pre-Morsi Egypt and Weimar Germany where gangs of street thugs mobilized under a fanatical movement seized power and went on to murder millions. The street clashes in Egypt echo some of the German street violence between the right and the left that accompanied the rise of Hitler. And it doesn't help that the Muslim Brotherhood was inspired and financed by Nazi Germany.
This report takes us into the ranks of the Muslim Brotherhood's thug brigades. Perhaps the equivalent of the SA. And gives us a snapshot of the Muslim Brotherhood's ground operation.
When I approached the ablution area, I saw a tall bearded man bleeding from a wound in the back of his head. Giving him napkins to wipe the blood, another man told him, "God will bless you for your good deed."
The wounded man was wearing thick cloth rolls, wrapped around his stomach from his lower chest. Those around him thought it was to protect him from stones or bullets, but one of them said it was a belt for losing weight.

They look strange. Beating them is the only way. It doesn't get much more National Socialist than that.
Walid, one of the Brothers, took me to see the captives they abducted throughout the clashes. On the way, I watched the crowd as I was walking. The people seemed to behave as if in a real battlefield. More people came to replace those at the front lines, while others picked up stones from the metro tracks.
A small, red car was slowly moving among the people, with the driver speaking in a megaphone that was placed on the top. "You do this for God," he said. "Treat the prisoners well and send them to the organizing committee."
I asked Walid about the organizing committee. "There is a committee for everything," he said.
I heard them cheer something I used to cheer when I was drafted in the army: "Strength... Determination...Faith." I also heard them say, "Morsy shoots to kill."
Finally, we got to the place where they keep the captives, at one of the gates to the palace. There, I saw Central Security Forces in uniform alongside more Morsy supporters in civilian attire. The CSF officer did not mind that we talk to the captives, but a man in civilian clothes forbade us. It seemed he had more authority. "There is no place for the press here," he told us.
This prompted the crowd to shout slogans against the media and order us to leave. "The Brotherhood channel is the best," they shouted... At this point, more people started to approach, and another one told me to leave before they beat me.
But at least FDR wasn't in bed with Hitler, the way that Obama is in bed with Morsi.

I'm 18 and want to get micro body contouring to get rid of my love handles. I do have some stretch marks due to some bad eating habits this summer, will that prevent me from being able to micro-body contouring?
How Can You Tell if You Have Good Skin Tone and Elasticity for Micro Body Contouring?
Doctor Answers 3
Skin quality and VASER Liposuction of flanks
When performing VASER Liposuction, or any form of liposuction, the quality of the skin is important. When performing liposuction you are removing fat from an area and are relying on the ability of the skin to contract and take the shape of what was just created. If the skin is loose, it will not take the shape. If the skin has good tone, it should take the shape nicely. With VASER liposuction, I am able to perform liposuction safely in the superficial fat plane which will give enhanced retraction of the skin. Obviously, having stretch marks shows damage to the dermis of the skin so it could interfere with retraction of the skin. It is important to go to a plastic surgeon who is capable of obtaining the results you want, as all surgeons are not created equal and have different skill sets. A good physical exam will tell how your skin tone is and what type of results you should hope to obtain.
How Can You Tell if You Have Good Skin Tone and Elasticity for Micro Body Contouring?
In most cases, the love handles respond very well to liposuction alone. The key to the result is the amount liposuctioned and the manner in which you are contoured. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

How Can You Tell if You Have Good Skin Tone and Elasticity for Micro Body Contouring?
I do not understand exactly what you mean by micro body contouring.
If you are referring to High Definition LipoSculpture, the quality of your skin is an important element.
If you talking about body contouring in general, the final result will depend on the amount of fat removed and the ability of your skin to retract to redrape to the new volume of the treated area.
In general, the more stretch marks you have the less elastic your skin will be. It will be less prone to adjust to the new shape of the area, especially if large amount of fat has been removed. Stretch marks caused by pregnancy affect the skin elasticity a lot more then those caused by weight variations, unless you are referring to massive weight loss.
The kind of equipment used for body contouring also plays a role. For example, Vaser Lipo sculpture will generally give better results.
Good Luck

Best case scenario, just don't open the door to begin with...she needs to get over being rude to a stranger on her door step. Even the teen age kid can be a potential threat. An intercom would be a good choice here.
I have seen alot of B&E doors. Most of the time the wood jamb splits apart allowing the door to open. The wood side jamb should be metal or at least have a metal "brass" bracket encasing the wood jamb at the door knob/striker/deadbolt area to reinforce the wood. The door slab itself needs to be of high quality too. If the door jamb is solid, usually the door slab will peel apart on the rolled seams allowing it to collapse on it self and disengaging the locks from the door frame.
The screws being used for any of these security applications should be strong and long enough to penetrate into the frame of the house, not just into the door frame.
A standard storm door lock is not enough to keep anyone out.
It needs to be a metal or iron security door.
These types of doors will stop em' in their tracks. It will actually drive a would be burglar/intruder to a window or slider door instead, but at least they will not be able to bum rush her if she does open the door...giving her the precious seconds she would need.
Firearms training is a must, it does not stop at the range though...it is a start. Being mentally prepared to deal with a situation is more important than anything else.

Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Here's How to Hide Your Stash? Ex-Texas Officer Sells DVD About How To Avoid Drug Arrests
Last December MSNBC reported that Barry Cooper, a former police officer who handled drug enforcement planned to sell a video called "Never Get Busted Again." One former colleague said Cooper might have been "the best narcotics officer in the state." Cooper claimed to think that the U.S. marijuana policy was foolish and that his video would be a way to show people how to protect civil liberties and to reveal injustice in the system. Maybe. Today, NPR has a story about the release of the video. It is called "Never Get Busted Again" and apparently uses the film style of reality cop shows. The article details how Cooper used indicators such as college bumper stickers, Vietnam veteran stickers, and race to decide whom to pull over and search for marijuana. He even trained police departments about the technique. So perhaps he really wants to show how the system is unjust. The motivations behind that goal are, however, not necessarily about legalizing marijuana and improving civil rights.
NPR noted that Cooper's personal experiences fueled his current activities. He moved to east Texas and arrested a mayor's son and city councilman which apparently upset local authorities. After he left law enforcement, a divorce followed. He was arrested for late movie rental returns and "His ex-brother-in-law, a constable, showed up with an order to remove his two girls. They put up such a fight, the effort was abandoned." Those events are at least partially behind his decision to make the film which covers topics such as "Search and Seizure," "Hiding Your Stash," "Narcotics Profiling" and "Canines."
Cooper plans a follow-up called "Never Get Raided Again." The new movie idea has upset law enforcement as it could endanger officers on a raid. Given that some argue that books like the Anarchist's Cookbook should be banned or for example in England ownership of the book is a enough to bring terrorism charges, it would not be surprising if someone tries to stop Cooper's films from being published based on a public safety or terror claim.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Leftwich plays role of mentor
TAMPA - Byron Leftwich has no illusions about his new job as the Bucs' starting quarterback. With rookie Josh Freeman waiting in the wings, he knows he's little more than a temporary fix at the position. Surprisingly, Leftwich seems to be at ease with his role as seat warmer for Freeman. In fact, it's a role the 29-year-old veteran began embracing long before he earned it. "As a veteran in this league it's almost my duty to do the things for him that guys like Steve McNair and Donovan McNabb did for me when I was a kid," Leftwich said. "So I'm just trying to pass it on." Few are better positioned to pass it on than Leftwich. After all, as a former first-round pick of the Jaguars, he has been where Freeman is now. And already he has passed on a lot.To hear Leftwich tell it, he already has shown Freeman the route his career will likely take and pointed out a lot of the potholes that could result in breakdowns or detours along the way. "If you're a starting quarterback in this league, I don't care how good you are, they're going to put you in the blender at some point and they're going to hit liquefy and you're going to have to be able to take it," Leftwich said. "You're going to have to be able to observe it and not lose the confidence you have in yourself and still have the determination and the mind-set and the ability to go out there and play well. "I mean, I've been through it all. I've been booed and I've been called the greatest thing since sliced bread. It just comes with playing the position, and so I'm trying to prepare him for that." It's probably several years away, at least, but Leftwich is also trying to prepare Freeman for the day when the Bucs or another team decides it is Freeman's turn to be the mentor. "I told him that one day they're going to draft somebody and you're going to be in this same situation that I'm in now and you've got to make sure you help that guy out," Leftwich said. "That's kind of your job, because it makes the game better, and as a player you should want to see the guy that's coming up behind you do great things and have success." Flip-flop Bucs coach Raheem Morris was the one who came up with the idea of moving Jermaine Phillips to linebacker in the first place, and he's not going to give up on the idea very easily. Though the suspension of Tanard Jackson for four games has forced Phillips to go back to playing safety, Morris intends to move Phillips back to linebacker as soon as he can. "My long-term (plan) was for him to go to linebacker," Morris said. "I think he has a chance at a second career there. He's kind of like Rodney Harrison with New England. They didn't want to change his number, but when you saw him he was always standing at the end of the line of scrimmage at the snap. Players like that get second careers. They move around, and I just saw a chance (with Phillips) to have a 30-year-old special player. So we'll see. Maybe I can get back to that." It seems that someone in the organization never believed in the Phillips-to-linebacker move. Phillips is listed in the Bucs' media guide as a safety. Witch's brew If you believe what you read in the National Enquirer - and who doesn't - then you have to believe the Bucs have gotten an assist in their efforts to beat the Cowboys in the season opener. According to the Enquirer, singer/actress Jessica Simpson recently secured the services of a "witch" to put a curse on Simpson's former boyfriend, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. We're not making this up. According to the Enquirer's story, Simpson and the "witch" met at Simpson's Beverly Hills hotel and proceeded to light a candle, burn incense and perform "a couple of incantations." Simpson is apparently steamed over Romo's decision to dump her just before her 29th birthday last month, and in addition to rooting for every team Romo faces, she has been "cozying up to" Redskins quarterback Colt Brennan. This, too, is according to the Enquirer.

Contemporary Economics Dilemma: High Ethics or More Extensive Governing?
The authors of the article point out that economic theory has failed to yield a solid theoretical background in critical situations such as the current financial and economic crisis and the transformation of post-communist economies. Mainly the present crisis opens the question of the unsatisfactory status of economic science. While classical liberal or Keynesian concepts are failing, theorists cannot look to mathematical modelling for help. It seems that traditional concepts malfunction, and the financial market is particularly predisposed for this process. The application of mathematical models is overvalued. The article calls attention to the possible influence and adequacy of regulatory attitudes on a return to equilibrium. It seems that the part of ethics must be upgraded decidedly. The challenge for today´s theoretical economists is to find a new paradigm of economic science for today´s global era.

Directed by Billy Bob Thornton, starring Matt Damon, Henry Thomas, Penelope Cruz, Lucas Black and Ruben Blades.
Matt Damon is John Grady Cole, an idealistic young rancher who finds himself homeless after his mother decides to sell the ranch where he has spent his entire life. Frightened at the prospect of losing the only way of life he knows, Cole saddles up with best friend Lacey Rawlins (Henry Thomas) an embarks on a dream to blaze the cowboy trail down in Mexico.
Along the way the two meet up with volatile and intrepid teenager Jimmy Blevins (Lucas Black). Sensing trouble, Rawlins suggests leaving Blevins behind. Cole, honourable as ever, feels impelled to help their new acquaintance; it's a decision that will have long-term consequences.
When Cole and Rawlins eventually reach Mexico, they are hired to work on a hacienda where few questions are asked and a talent for breaking horses is still a source of honour. As they fall into a routine as familiar to them as the shape of their saddles, Cole also falls into an illicit love affair with the patron's daughter. In a land where reputation and honour are paramount, the forbidden affair and some murky business involving Blevins brings John Grady Cole to a deeper understanding of himself, and of the changing world around him.
Adapted from the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name, 'All The Pretty Horses' loses much of its epic scope in the translation to the screen. In fairness to director Billy Bob Thornton and screenwriter Ted Tally, the task of transposing a prolix character study to the silver screen was never going to be easy. Despite a script which remains faithful to the sparse language of the novel, and some breathtaking cinematography, the whole production feels too lethargic.
In a film where the characters are uniformly under-developed, Lucas Black as the impetuous teenager Jimmy Blevins stands out. With a perfect mix of pride and fear, Black easily outshines the opposition, of whom Henry Thomas and Penelope Cruz are particularly disappointing. In the lead role of John Grady Cole, Matt Damon gives an assured if unspectacular performance, let down by poor characterization and an alarming absence of chemistry with Cruz.
As an account of a young cowboy's fight to retain his erstwhile bucolic bliss, and of his induction into adulthood, 'All The Pretty Horses' never really gets into a comfortable stride. Ultimately, it's hard to escape the feeling that for all its panoramic visuals, it remains disappointingly flat.

Excerpt from:
"The People's Guide: A Business,
Political and Religious Directory of Boone Co., Ind.," 1874.
Old Mother Howe and the Widow Cross
came to the county in 1824 -- are now living in Zionsville.
The Lane family, John Lowe, Frederick Lowe
-- the first, John Lowe, was a trader among the
Indians; Frederick Lowe was the Indian Agent. Jesse
Lane settled in the year 1825, five years before the
county was organized; he now lives in Eagle Creek township.
John N. Fall settled in Washington township at a very
early day. Robert Allen settled in Center township in
1832, two years after Boone became a county. Elisha Riley
settled one year before the county was organized. James M.
Smith was a settler in 1834 -- his post-office
address is Lebanon. Daniel Hoover settled in
Zionsville very early. Robert H. Thomas, one of the
early settlers in Eagle township, Boone county, claims to
have been one of the number composing the first jury made in
Boone county, which was about October, 1832. Mr. Thomas
is still living.
Benjamin Cox, another one of Boone county's first
settlers, still remembers when it was necessary for him to
go forty miles to get his milling done, requiring four to
six days' time. Mr. Cox has not forgotten the time
when the wheat market for Boone county was at Lafayette or
Lawrenceburg. He hauled his wheat to the latter place,
receiving only forty cents per bushel. With Mr. Cox's
mule team it required from ten to twelve days to each trip.
The roads at that time were full of brush, chunks, roots and
stumps, besides many "sloughs" and pond-holes. Many a spring
night has Mr. Cox had a free bullfrog serenade. Other
early settlers encountered the same difficulties. It is very
interesting to the young people of this day to hear such men
as Mr. Cox relate their trials and triumphs in Boone
