Temple offers playgroup on Fridays
Woodcliff Lake – Temple Emanuel Early Childhood Program opened its playgroup room on Nov. 2 to moms and children looking for a place to play and get warm during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Several families took advantage of this and the nursery school was glad to help.
On an on-going basis, Temple Emanuel Playgroup is a free, drop-in program for parents and children from infant to 12 months. Parents have the opportunity to connect with other parents of very young children while their children play. Playgroup concludes with a music time. Playgroup is held on Fridays twice a month from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
The next dates will be Nov. 16, Dec. 7, and Dec. 21. The Dec. 7 session will include a Chanukah celebration.
Playgroup is held in the stroller-accessible Youth Lounge at Temple Emanuel of the Pascack Valley, 87 Overlook Drive, Woodcliff Lake. No registration is required.
For more information about Temple Emanuel Playgroup, or classes for slightly older children with an adult, contact Lisa Lonschein, Parent/Child Program coordinator at 201-391-8329 or email@example.com, or check out the Early Childhood Programs section of the temple website tepv.org.

The temple is the house of the Lord. There you may receive sacred ordinances and enter into covenants that are essential for exaltation in the celestial kingdom. These ordinances include the endowment and sealings.
The Endowment
The endowment explains the purpose of life and Heavenly Father's plan for the exaltation of his children. President Brigham Young taught:
"Your endowment is, to receive all those ordinances in the House of the Lord, which are necessary for you, after you have departed this life, to enable you to walk back to the presence of the Father, … and gain your eternal exaltation" (in Journal of Discourses, 2:31).
When you obey covenants made in the endowment, your understanding of God's eternal purposes increases and your life is filled with a greater abundance of the Spirit. You have a greater capacity to love others and meet the challenges of daily life.
Church members usually receive the endowment when they are preparing to serve full-time missions or be married or sealed in the temple. Generally, unmarried members are not endowed until they are called as missionaries or until they become established in their vocations or professions and need to be strengthened further in righteous living.
Talk to your bishop about receiving your endowment. He can explain what you need to do to prepare to go to the temple and receive this sacred ordinance.
The sealing ordinances unite families for eternity. President Spencer W. Kimball described the eternal joy and blessing of these ordinances:
"The greatest joys of true married life can be continued. The most beautiful relationships of parents and children can be made permanent. The holy association of families can be never-ending if husband and wife have been sealed in the holy bond of eternal matrimony" (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1982], p. 297).
The sealing ordinances include—
Sealing of husband and wife (temple marriage).
Sealing of children to parents.
The sealing of husband and wife in the temple is essential to becoming an eternal family. Important covenants are associated with this ordinance. Faithfulness to these covenants will bless your family now and in eternity. You will have greater love, patience, and happiness in your home. You will have greater strength to endure the trials of life. And you and your family will receive comfort from knowing that you can be together forever.
Children born to parents who have been sealed in the temple are born in the covenant of their parents' sealing. These children automatically become part of an eternal family. Children who are not born in the covenant can also become part of an eternal family by being sealed to parents. Your bishop can answer questions about this sealing ordinance.
An eternal family should be the goal of every Latter-day Saint. Couples who have not yet been sealed to each other should discuss with their bishop what they can do to prepare themselves for this great blessing. Those who have been sealed should remain true to their covenants and worthy of the great blessings promised to them.

India has expertise and skills to develop hydrogen energy technologies, says UNIDO DG
Dr. K. Yumkella Director General of UNIDO visited the first fleet in the world of hydrogen fuelled rickshaws complete with a hydrogen refueling station. The fleet is operating since Monday 9 January, 2012 at the Pragati Maidan Exhibition ground in New Delhi.
During his visit, the UNIDO DG said: "This fleet and refueling infrastructure is proof that hydrogen has a role to play not only in the developed world but also in developing economies like India, not only for high-end vehicles and buses but also in down-to-earth practical applications like the rickshaws. This is proof that India has the expertise and skills to develop, implement and assess hydrogen energy technologies in view of its Hydrogen Roadmap and the 2020 Green Initiative for Future Transport. It is also evidence that the UNIDO International Centre for Hydrogen Energy Technologies in collaboration with UNIDO headquarters and UNIDO Regional Office can put flesh and bones in innovative energy concepts, in collaboration with local industry and academia. I am very pleased to visit this site and to see that the vehicles are used on a daily basis at the ITPO exhibition grounds, just like conventional vehicles, bar the zero emissions".
The fleet of fifteen vehicles and the refueling station were established in the context of the DELHY-3W project that aimed to demonstrate hydrogen technologies developed by Indian partners for the Indian transport sector. The project took 3 years and cost slightly more than 1 million US$, with 0.5 million US$ of co-funding coming from the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) International Centre for Hydrogen Energy Technologies (UNIDO-ICHET) based in Istanbul, Turkey, that also contributed in setting up and executing the project.
Project Consortium
IIT Delhi coordinated the project and provided technical expertise to convert the internal combustion engines to run on hydrogen. Mahindra and Mahindra developed the vehicle with all necessary changes to the engines, safety systems, fuel tanks and fuel lines. Air Products USA acted as project partner and sponsor by providing the hydrogen refueling station and management and technical services. UNIDO India regional office facilitated the realization of the project. India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO) is hosting the project and helping disseminate Indian know-how. The Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has been closely following the project, while both the refueling facility & hydrogen storage tanks on vehicle have received all necessary permits and approvals from the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO).
Why Hydrogen?
Hydrogen holds great promise for a cleaner urban environment by replacing polluting and diminishing fossil fuels with a fuel whose only emission is pure water and traces of NOx. If hydrogen is produced from renewable energy sources, then it is the cleanest fuel from well to wheel. Since hydrogen as a fuel and hydrogen energy technologies are new and applied in small numbers their cost is presently higher than conventional fuels and established energy technologies. However the possible inclusion of hydrogen in the portfolio of alternative transport fuels in a country with the size and dynamism of India could create the right market conditions for mass production of hydrogen vehicles and refueling infrastructure, leading to comparable costs and reduced urban pollution in cities like New Delhi and other Asian metropolis that might implement such technologies.
The developing world has the potential to play a major role in the transition to a hydrogen-inclusive energy future.
About ICHET
The UNIDO International Centre for Hydrogen Energy Technologies is a UNIDO project supported by the Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources through a $40M Trust Fund Agreement with UNIDO. Its mission is to support, demonstrate and promote viable hydrogen energy technologies with the aim of enhancing economic development particularly in developing countries.
ICHET has developed numerous demonstrators of hydrogen energy technologies ranging from forklifts to UPS systems to golf carts. It recently inaugurated its renewables-hydrogen facility on the island of Bozcaada and will inaugurate the first hydrogen production and refuelling facility in Turkey at the Golden Horn on September 2012. It has similarly supported Turkish universities and industry improve their expertise and come up with hydrogen energy related prototypes ranging from vehicles to boats, helping pave the way for Turkish industry in view of the coming hydrogen inclusive energy future.

The Sleep Center at St. John's Hospital
Can't get used to your CPAP?
Our PAP Naps can help.
To learn more, call (217) 757-6ZZZ
The Sleep Center at St. John's Hospital is an accredited center that provides sleep testing for infants, children and adults.
We assist in the diagnoses and treatment of:
• Obstructive sleep apnea • Periodic limb movements of sleep • Nocturnal seizures • Narcolepsy • Other sleep disturbances
Insomnia is a very common sleep disorder, but it does not require a sleep study for diagnosis. A physician referral is required for a sleep study. If you suspect you have a sleep disorder, see your primary care physician.
Specialty Services
Inpatient Sleep Disorders Team
This team identifies hospitalized patients suspected of having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). These patients are evaluated by a member of the Sleep Disorders Team and receive education, an appointment for an outpatient sleep study and a follow-up visit with their primary care physician.
Pre-operative Outpatient OSA Screenings
An estimated 10 percent of surgery patients have undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA can create post-operative complications. If the patient is deemed at-risk for OSA before surgery, precautions are taken. Prior to discharge, the patient's primary care physician is notified so an outpatient sleep study and follow-up visit can be scheduled.
Multi-Disciplinary Sleep Clinic
The Multi-Disciplinary Sleep Clinic provides care for conditions such as sleep disorder breathing and insomnia. For patients with insomnia, the Clinic offers sessions with a cognitive behavioral therapy counselor. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients can speak with a respiratory therapist to discuss the results of their continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) test, as well as a dietitian to provide guidance on weight loss. Self- referrals are welcome.
St. John's Sleep Center is located in St. John's Health Center on South 6th Street. The Sleep Center conducts studies on Sunday through Friday nights. For more information, call (217) 757-6ZZZ (6999).

Craig Taborn: Suggesting Textural Dimension
AAJ: It must take some doing. For example, I'd ask Gerald Cleaver the same question. Imagine trying to tour that band. Every guy in the band has a band, or two bands!
CT: Right. It's easier than it seems in a certain sense. If Gerald really wanted to get that going it wouldn't be that hard. Except maybe for Reid, who really has the Bad Plus thing going now. I would defer. I'd drop of a lot of stuff to go play with Gerald, not only because we go back so far, just musically too - I'd just do it. It's never as hard as it seems.
AAJ: It's almost like you've got to stay part of Tim's thing, for instance.
CT: Yeah, but everybody works around everybody. That's the thing when you see these communities - it's never that competitive - people will look out for each other - everybody understands and works around each other's projects to the extent that they can.
AAJ: I noticed Cleaver's record took, like a day. Tim seems like a guy that would take more time. Is that true?
CT: Well, he wanted to, but no. Both records wound up taking two days-like live in the studio.
AAJ: Was your thing a one-day thing?
CT: Yeah. Well, at Thirsty Ear the budgets are of a certain nature.
AAJ: I've noticed the Thirsty Ear pieces that I have are all kind of short.
CT: That's part of their thing. It's actually part of their concept. If you notice, Shell Game is longer, but that's because Tim's going to do what he's going to do. But in general they encourage 40 to 45 minutes. It's a concept. It's not budgetary. It's like vinyl, which had to be 45, you know. They're into the idea of not filling up the cd space because it's there to fill up, so'that was definitely part of their earlier stuff and it's sort of stuck. On the other hand, if you came in with something longer, I'm sure it would be all right.
AAJ: Anything else to expect coming up?
CT: Well, Marty Ehrlich's thing will be coming out on Palmetto.
AAJ: Any definite plans for more from Roscoe?
CT: Nothing definite, but he's always planning something. He may record in the next year, but I'm not sure.
AAJ: Are we going to see an Internet presence from you?
CT: That's a good question. I've been thinking about that and a number of my friends have encouraged it. It's so easily done these days and a good place to have a source of information
AAJ: Finally, are you happy with the way the music business is treating you?
CT: If you take it over into that, the music business with a capital M and a capital B, you're opening up a whole can of worms. I don't think we have time for that. I'll say this. I think that there's a lot of good music that's not getting a fair shake because of the obvious ethos that's been there for a long time that's at it's height again, as it were.
AAJ: I think that Bad Plus record is a great example. Debut on independent label-nobody heard it despite some fantastic reviews. Record two- all of a sudden reviews are everywhere prior to the record release date!
CT: Yeah, they have the weight of the thing behind them. Same guys, same playing. And that's great for those guys. I just wish that more attention'that things could happen for' just a little bit' some other projects where it's non-existent. I'm not even talking about hype, just a little bit of whatever it takes to help musicians get their stuff out there and help it develop.
If you're interested in filling out Craig's back story even more, allow us to suggest an equally scrupulous, but older, interview with Craig, by Nate Chinen, on-line at Tim Berne's Screwgun Records website.

SUNNYVALE, California and AHMEDABAD, India, February 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
eInfochips today launched its MagNet initiative designed to attract developers who are building ecommerce portals based on the industry leading Magento platform. Under the MagNet initiative, eInfochips will contribute Extensions to the Magento Community for advanced online store functionality. For developers who use the extensions, expert eInfochips software engineers are available to fast-track integration of the extensions, or for other ecommerce software engineering. eInfochips is kicking off the MagNet initiative by contributing the 'Deal 4 U' and 'Deal 4 U Categories' extensions to the Magento community. The extensions are designed to help retailers increase conversion rates for deal seekers.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131029/648699)
"MagNet is a win-win for ecommerce developers and eInfochips," said Frank Berry, senior analyst, IT Brand Pulse. "The leading-edge Magento extensions help developers save time to market, while giving them an idea of what eInfochips is capable of doing for them when they need to fill gaps in software engineering skill or experience."
About Magento
Magento is a flexible and scalable open source platform for building an online store with a wide range of ecommerce capabilities. Owned by eBay Inc., Magento has over 800,000 community members and is the preferred platform for 26% of Alexa Top 1 Million Sites.
eInfochips MagNeT Extensions
According to Forrester research, 53% of online shoppers in the USA are deal seekers, and spend over $2,000 annually on the internet. Statistics also suggest that 91% of in-store footfalls are influenced by online promotions. The first two contributions from eInfochips under the MagNet initiative will improve productivity for promotional campaigns, and reduce dependency on coupon-sites for deal uptake. Retailers can also automate schedules for customized daily offers and showcase countdown timers to drive in-store footfall.
"Our ecommerce customers are asking for advanced Magento extensions and engineering services." said Parag Mehta, the Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer at eInfochips. "We are listening. The next set of Magento extensions for e-commerce promotions are already in the pipeline."

Polo Ralph Lauren Glasses
The Story
Ralph Lauren founded his clothing business in 1967. His first clothing collection, Polo Ralph Lauren became the official outfitters for Wimbledon.
The brand then grew and diversified into home furnishings, as well as casual wear which are inspired by the English heritage. The finest materials combined with iconic brand elements gives this collection that unmistakable style.
The Eyewear Collection
Ralph Lauren eyewear offers every woman a timeless style but with a modern appeal. Most of the optical frames are pretty and have a slim feature which would appeal to women who have a classic fashion style.
Those who want a more contemporary look go for the thick frame arms. The simple metal detailing against the chunky design really brings the frame alive. This collection mainly consists of rectangle frames as this is the most popular frame shape. It's easy to wear and looks great no matter what you wear.
You can also find a range of designs, from vintage silhouettes to glamorous oversized shapes. The optical collection gives the modern woman striking ways to make her own style statement. Many of the brand's optical frames are produced from acetate plastic.
Acetate is easier to mould and kinder to the skin than metal frames, hence why there is a wide usage of the material and availability. Acetate can also be coloured and mixed with other materials or fabrics to create a really unique frame. The metal materials used to create the eyewear are usually stainless steel although you can get titanium frames too.
About Your Lenses
Give your lenses the best protection by applying a special coating on them. Try and avoid the free scratch resistant coating as it won't do much to your lenses. They only offer protection against minor and light surface scratches.
Instead, think about investing in (at least) the anti-scratch/anti-glare lens coatings. This coating not only protects your lenses from minor scratches and abrasions, it also helps to block out reflective glare.

The works of conservative intellectual Charles Murray are designed to provoke debate and raise hackles among liberal intellectuals. His book "The Bell Curve" is the best-known example, along with "Human Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences." He is an ice-cold flame-thrower as this radio interview from a couple of years ago shows.
He's at it again, in the just published, "Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010." Much of the discussion of the book has centered on Murray's statistical dissection of the white working class, particularly family breakdown as measured by births out of wedlock.
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof has an interesting discussion of the book here, and at least partially tips his liberal hat towards a point Murray makes.

A New Face - Make Mine an OliRockberger Please- with Zero Cheese!
" The rule from my experience is that if you are enjoying playing a certain section, if it?s feeling good, then it is good! "
No question he's a positively mind-blowing, ultra-emotive young jazz pianist; thing is, he also turns out to be a vocalist, possessing that well-known and well-loved Stingy, Gabrielly, Collinsy tenor rasp. At 23, he's proffering his own brand of feel-good melancholia in the jazz-pop, singer-songwriter category. He's a jazzy-R&B-laced pop whiz kid, who also happens upon the good fortune, at such an early juncture, of having the assistance of two ideally sympathetic and equally young brothers-in-arms, English bassist Tony Grey and Ecuadorian drummer Chris Farr .
The influences here are easily identifiable and recognizable- you know, biggies. Oliver's music sounds very much like the logical product of equal parts ECM and Motown, Keith Jarrett crossed up with Stevie, or the Yellowjackets hanging with David Foster. But here's a critical aspect and the link to the title of this piece - the kids fully recognize some of the obvious musical pitfalls of the genre, making sure to consistently navigate their course way 'round the seas of cheese.
Already the subject of some attention in his native London, Oli had played Royal Festival Hall and been identified by the London Times as a "Great British Hope" by age eighteen. While immersing himself in studies and a surfeit of projects at Berklee, his public "career" has been, quite cheerfully, on hold. Join us in marking his reemergence with an AAJ interview, conducted mostly from over-the-pond via email.
All About Jazz: How old you are and where you are from? Where's you home now?
Oliver Rockberger : I am 23 years old and am from London, England. I am currently living in Boston, USA.
AAJ: How did you first get into music?
OR: It was through the records which my parents used to play around the house when I was a little kid- Songs in the Key of Life (Stevie Wonder), Night Train (Oscar Peterson) and The Organ Grinder?s Swing (Jimmy Smith) had a major impact on me as well as recordings of James Taylor, Paul Simon, Carly Simon, The Crusaders and Randy Crawford. At the time we had an upright piano in the living room and I would sit down at it, before my legs could touch the pedals, and make up tunes. I tried classical lessons, but had to come to music in my own way, and just explored it on my own until I found jazz pianist/educator Leon Cohen at age 11. I studied privately with him right up until Berklee.
AAJ: So these were your first influences, then.
OR: Until I was about 10 years old. At 11, I heard Keith Jarrett's tune "Country" off a wonderful album with Jan Garbarek entitled My Song. I had never realized that a piano could sound like he made it sound in that song. I also saw Keith Jarrett perform live at age 11. In his encore he played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - I thought I had died and gone to heaven. James Taylor was also a seminal influence for me. I had a cassette tape with Sweet Baby James on one side, and Mud Slide Slim on the other, and I used to listen to it all the time, especially on family holidays - I would put it in my Walkman and listen over and over and over. James Taylor has such a soothing voice, and for me is one of the world's greatest storytellers.
Eric Clapton was also one of my first influences- I loved Journeyman and the Unplugged record also. Looking back on it, I think Eric Clapton inspired me a great deal because he showed me that it is possible to be great across many areas in music- as a singer, instrumentalist and songwriter. Clapton has achieved excellence for many years at the highest possible level in the pop world.
For similar reasons, I'd have to say that Stevie Wonder is quite possibly my greatest singer/songwriter influence. The depth of his musicality is constantly astounding to me. Songs in The Key of Life is a "Desert Island Disk." Sting was also one of my first major influences, specifically with the songs "Fields of Gold" and "Seven Days"- I own all his solo records. He has a voice like the sun shining, immense lyrical depth and compositional sophistication.
My other first major influence was Pat Metheny who I saw in London at age 14 with the Pat Metheny Group. Metheny for me is at the very pinnacle of creating music which is deeply melodic, harmonically rich, and at the same time accessible to a large audience- everything I hope my music to be. All of these artists continue to be major influences for me today and always will be.
AAJ: And now?
OR: I think it's very important that as a musician you remain open to influences. If you want to keep evolving as an artist, then you need to keep actively seeking out inspiration. When I started Berklee in '99, I was introduced through friends to Gospel/Soul/R&B and was listening to (to name a few) Take 6, Kirk Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye and James Brown. I also discovered Michael MacDonald, Bruce Hornsby, D'Angelo, an English artist called Lewis Taylor and saxophonist Kenny Garett who is one of favorite improvisers. Most recently I have discovered a love for Peter Gabriel, George Duke and Brian McKnight. I got the opportunity whilst at Berklee to perform synths alongside R&B/gospel pianist/singer/songwriter Frank McComb and he has also become a major recent influence for me.
AAJ: What musical experiences in England precipitated your attendance at Berklee? It seems you already had some notoriety in England before going off to music school. How'd that happen?
OR: In my senior year of high school, I was in my own trio and we entered a competition called Music For Youth. We ended up winning the award for Outstanding Ensemble and I won "The New Composition Award" and "The Roland Piano Award." Our prize was to perform at Royal Albert Hall as part of "The School Proms." Performing at the Royal Albert Hall would be amazing at any age, but we were 18 years old! It was a life changing experience for us. I was interviewed by the "Times" in a series entitled "Great British Hopes" and so there was a little buzz at the time- but nothing major. It' only now that my profile is starting to increase in the UK as result of my band's recent performance at the Brecon Jazz Festival.
AAJ: Why did you pick Berklee? Was your time there your most intense growth period as a musician? If not, what was?
OR: Berklee has a terrific reputation in Europe as being the finest schools of contemporary music in the world. I received a scholarship to the 5-Week Summer Performance Program at age 17 and thought it was an amazing school. I auditioned in Barcelona in December '97 for a scholarship to the undergraduate program and discovered two weeks later that I had received a full tuition scholarship to attend. I cried in amazement and disbelief when I heard the news. Receiving that award is my most significant moment in music so far and is something I regard as one of my greatest successes.
My time at Berklee was absolutely my most intense growth period as a musician- the classes I took, the people I played with, the shows I played, the visiting artists I played with. it all took me so much further forward as a young musician and artist.
AAJ: What have been some of the most important concepts you?ve taken away from the academic part of your experience?
OR: That compositional theory and instrumental technique is the toolbox from which you can construct and that what you can construct depends a great deal on the tools in your box! Berklee was the perfect place for me to sharpen my existing tools and to acquire some new ones. The next challenge beyond the acquisition of these kinds of skills is learning how to apply that knowledge in a creative and personal way to create original art. For me this came after graduating, as I think it does for many people. The Berklee environment forces you to say, "Okay, we are all here learning the same information, but how do I use it in a way which makes me me, and not you?" It also forced me to learn how to be my own teacher and musical master- this, in my opinion, is essential in continuing to develop as an artist. These are just some of the things I learned at Berklee.
AAJ: You seem comfortable with the intricacies of music theory and its application to improvisation and composition. How much of that element do you bring into the compositional process? It probably varies based on the composition and the goals of the composition, right?
OR: My harmonic techniques and approaches are always there when I write. However, these days, harmony has become more and more instinctive. I think this is only because I have been through the stage of writing with great conscious awareness of harmonic motion and other theoretical considerations. Once I exhausted thinking things through in a mathematical way as I played them, my brain began to make the connections and hear those relationships in an automatic and instinctive way. The brain must be trained to do this and I think I managed to train my brain in this way without realizing that I was doing it at the time. When I've exhausted my current techniques and try to amass new information, as I will inevitably need to, then I'll probably go through the same process once again of intellectualizing in the hope that I'll soon reach a greater instinctive and natural understanding of the same concepts.
Most composers and songwriters say that the natural and instinctive process previously described, once attained through hard work, is continually interrupted in moments where the tool box needs to be opened to solve a specific problem such as, "How do I modulate here?" or "How do I get back to the original key?" or "What are the same chords in this new key?" or "How should I re-harmonize this section?" or "Why does the movement between these two sections feel jerky and how I do I smooth it over?" etc.
Understanding that composition requires the use of different parts of the brain- the left and the right, the creative and the analytical, and learning to balance the two, has been very important to me in my development as a writer.
AAJ: Who are some of the great young fellow students and players you've met and gigged with at Berklee?
OR: There have been so many. Tony Grey (who plays bass in my band) is a phenomenal bassist, a musical and creative spirit, who is at once exciting and adventurous, tasteful and hard grooving. His technique is remarkable and playing with him is always experimental, dynamic and interactive. Tony finds and creates his own place in each song, and understands on a deep level when to adapt himself to the song, and when to adapt the song to himself, which is a rare skill.
Chris Farr, who now plays drums in my band, is one of the only drummers I have worked with who could make me cry with his playing. He is a musician who deeply understands the notion of playing the song and not just his instrument, or the specific section at hand. He is one of the most creative drummers I have worked with, balancing impeccable taste, soul and groove, with exceptional listening and support. He is very mature in his approach to music-making and this separates him in my mind from many top quality young drummers out there. I am constantly moved playing with both of them at the level of communication and dialogue which goes on during a performance.
Mitch Cohn is another great young bassist- we've worked on my material and on his original music. He has been a very important and positive influence on me as a writer and as a player. Jordan Perlson, a young Berklee drummer with whom I have worked a great deal, was one of the first drummers who I worked with on my original music and is a hard-grooving, extremely versatile and tasty drummer. He set the benchmark high in my mind for what I would like a drummer to bring to my music.
It was an honor to share the stage with Hiromi Uehara in the Berklee Performance Center for the 2002 Commencement Concert. She is one of the finest young pianists around, a great friend and is very supportive to me. Other young Berklee pianists/keyboardists to look out for are Ruslan Sirota, Romain Collin and Davy Nathan who are great inspirations to me whenever I see and hear them play. Performing with electric bassist Mark Kelly [note: Kelly is now with John Scofield] at Boston's Wally's was another period of immense growth for me and he is one of my favorite young musicians too.
Gilad Ronin, a young saxophonist from Israel on his way to the Monk Institute, is another favorite as well as tenor player Walter Smith III. Japanese drummer Akira Nakamura, guitarist/producer Josh Sadlier Brown from Canada, and vocalist Nia Allen are also favorites of mine. So many superb musicians come to Berklee every term and I'm convinced that I went to school with some of the best young musicians in the world.
AAJ: How did you find the current guys in your band?
I met Tony half way through my first term at Berklee and Chris in my second. We played together for a while on other people's projects, and regularly at Lucky's Lounge, a club in South Boston. During this period the three of us have developed a deep personal and musical connection. We've been playing my original music since February ?03.
AAJ: So you just came off some gigs at a pretty major English jazz festival. How'd that happen?
OR: A friend of mine who is from the town where the Festival is held (Brecon) had the details for the man who books the groups. I sent him an email and a disk and he really liked it. We then entered negotiations.
AAJ: I understand you've recently completed a demo. Can you explain some of the concept and focus behind it?
OR: When it was confirmed that we were going to be performing at Brecon, I decided that we had to have some kind of high quality recording with us. It is virtually impossible to promote a performance without a disc, and I wanted to start to build some kind of following. You need people to have your music, to remember you, and to start to take an interest in your career movements. So we recorded a few vocal tunes, some instrumental ones, and a solo piano piece, all with John Weston at Futura Productions in Boston. It was a pleasure working with him. I am very happy with how the EP turned out-it's seven tracks - and we hope that it can help open the door to more recording and performing opportunities in the very near future!
AAJ: Tell us about some of the gigging you've done with folks with a bit of name recognition.
OR: Since attending Berklee I had the chance to perform with visiting artists to the college- Abe Laboriel, Frank McComb with Branford Marsalis, and Jackie DeShannon, and clinics with Patti Austin and Greg Philinganes.
AAJ: Any other sideman work you'd like to hip the audience to?
OR: I've performed at the Berklee with guitarist and faculty member David Fiuczynski of the Screaming Headless Torsos, Michel N'degeocello, Christian McBride, etc., which was a great honor. He is a true artist, producing exciting music at the very cutting edge. I have also performed with gospel/R&B singer Larry Watson a tremendous performer and vocalist. We played at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston, and more recently, Fenway Park!
AAJ: What axes do you focus on with your projects? Is it mostly acoustic? Certainly the demo is.Have you always also played Rhodes and synth, or is that a relatively recent development?
OR: My project is mainly acoustic. I consider myself a pianist above all and right now my music is written with the piano in mind, although it could change in the future. I have a MOTIF 8 which is great for writing on and I am hoping to combine it with acoustic piano in my live performances in the near future. I am a great fan of the Yamaha P80 stage piano series and use that a lot for gigs. Actually, I don't own a Rhodes but hope to have one of my own someday. I'm a big Rhodes fan- one of my favorite Rhodes players is Frank McComb, who's amazing- particularly his use of effects, wah, phasing, and overall touch.
In terms of synth versus electric piano versus acoustic, it really depends on the project which I am being asked to do. Of course as a sideman, I'll do whatever the artist wants. Given the choice though, I am more a piano man I love playing acoustic piano on pop, folk and gospel tracks. This is my strength as a sideman and is what I'm called for. I recently played acoustic piano on a track for UK pop star Ronan Keating (Boy Zone). I was also called to play on a record for UK jazz/gospel saxophonist Mark Bunney, and on a country/folk record for American singer/songwriter Duncan Waters.
AAJ: In terms of harmonic territory, are there particular sources that you would point interested people towards? What books or recordings would you particularly advise students of harmony, improvisation and "time" concepts to seek out?
OR: Brazilian harmony has been invaluable to me, and opened many doors in my writing. There is so much to be learned from Brazilian artists like Milton Nascimiento, Gilberto Gil, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Ivan Lins. For improvisation I really like Hal Crook's How to Improvise which has amazing concepts and ways of practicing and applying them. Dave Liebman's Chromatic Concepts in Improvisation is also very interesting. Another book by Dave Liebman called Portrait of a Jazz Artist is a great book dealing with many musical, and business issues which jazz artists have to face.
AAJ: Are there particular elements of improvisation that are particularly fruitful for you, concepts that you keep revisiting and/or reinventing that keep your playing and your lines cutting edge and fresh?
OR: One of my interests is improvising harmony-compositional improvisation. I try to incorporate my love of compositional and harmonic improvisation into my linear "changes" improvisation. When given a set of changes I like to explore different upper structure sounds over the given bass note, various modal voicings, and chord quality changes in order to personalize the progression, to give it my own interpretation and a slightly different character. Jumping between what is given by the composer and what is created by me is a balance which I am always working on in my improvising.
AAJ: What aspects of your own playing style would you point listeners to- How would you attempt describing your own playing style?
OR: This is always a difficult question to answer. I think and hope that my pianistic touch and sound is quite personal and warm, with a distinctive time feel, use of harmony and approach to voicing. My playing reflects a real mixture of gospel, folk, pop and jazz, and when I improvise, I don't think of it as being jazz necessarily, but rather a combination of what I like to hear, and what I like to play, which is all of the above. People say to me that they can hear many influences when they hear me play, and that it is unique in that respect. I try to combine a thematic and compositional approach to improvisation with a funkier more risk taking "on the edge" approach too when the moment calls for it.
AAJ: What aspects of your compositional style would you point listeners to? How would you attempt describing your own compositional style?
OR: I know what I want from my compositions- whether I achieve those goals is of course down to the listener to say. Lyrically speaking, I want to write music which communicates something powerful and personal and that can also be understood and felt in a universal way by the listener through identifying with the song's narrator. I want to create a space in time that is safe and soothing for people, where they can go and in those 4/5 minutes can consistently feel protected, understood and/or have some feeling or wish validated each time they come to it. Physical travel and emotional travel are strong themes in my music and the writing often explores people's capacity to change for the better and to move forward in their lives. I try to balance a relaxed and humorous conversational approach with a more descriptive prose style in an attempt to keep the writing interesting and vibrant. From a harmonic point of view, I'm a fan of rich harmony, and I try to take advantage of my studies and extensive listening when I come to my own compositions.
One of the things I love the most about the Pat Metheny Group and the Yellowjackets is the way in which they doctor recurring themes in sometimes subtle, sometimes more drastic ways, through re-harmonization and adventurous modulations. This keeps the music consistently stimulating and is something I try to achieve in my songs. Arrangement plays a huge part in my compositions too and you will often hear melodies and themes doubled between Tony and myself, instrumental sections that are through-composed, and instrumental solo sections. We are all dedicated instrumentalists and I feel that the music should reflect this too.
AAJ: What events transpired that are bringing your own band into greater focus?
OR: The Brecon Jazz Festival has definitely brought the band into greater focus and we hope that through festivals and other high profile performance opportunities our profile will continue to grow. We also received radio airplay on two separate occasions last month on the UK's nationwide station, Jazz FM. That also has helped to raise our profile somewhat. Right now the Oli Rockberger Band is my primary solo focus and I try to put as much creative energy in to that as I possibly can.
AAJ: Are any of your compositions written off of jams? Or are they all written out?
OR: I always compose on my own first. I then write out charts for Tony and Chris and present it to them in a rehearsal. I consider this to be a first draft situation, although I allow for the possibility that it could equally be a final draft situation too. We play through the tune and they start to experiment with their parts, making arrangement suggestions to me where necessary. I often mini-disc rehearsals and will then go away and try and fix certain sections which may not be working for some reason or another. I then write a new chart with the changes I've made and we come back the next time and see how the re-writes feel.
I have learned so much from working on my music with my own groups. Getting into the habit of being constructively critical about one's work is very important. Accepting when something is not working is critical, and then having the discipline to re-write until it is right it essential to me. Giving a section the lift it needs is often a question of experimentation I think. I may never know why a particular section is not working. Sometimes it is a mystery and when it's not working, I try to be flexible, exploring other options in groove, feel, form, tempo, dynamic build etc. Playing with Tony & Chris who can adapt what they have been given, translating suggestions and reservations into their own musical interpretations, is critical to our process.
A chart when you first get it is like a brand new bed. Eventually you want the bed to adapt to the individual curve of your body, while maintaining its basic, supportive constitution. Songs are the same- the defining properties of the song should always remain clearly intact, but there should be ways the song adjusts to the players who are playing it. This collective musical input helps to breathe life in to my songs and aims to make the listener feel as though we are all speaking the words to them, even if I am the only one who is literally singing them. This is all about giving the composition the chance to be the best that it can. I've found that this is about taking pride in the process of getting it to its greatest potential. I've also found that remaining open to suggestions and critique by my colleagues makes the music far better.
Although Tony and Chris are clearly creatively involved in the composition and arrangement, they also bring a certain level of objectivity to the music which I can never have as the primary writer of the tunes. Their balance between involvement and detachment puts my band members in a unique position to help me to get the music to where it needs to be. I take their comments very seriously and when a tune is "happening" after much work, I think all three of us feel a great sense of collective and individual achievement.
The rule from my experience is that if you are enjoying playing a certain section, if it's feeling good, then it is good! We keep working with a particular section until we achieve that feeling - that you could live in that section forever- because in songs, it will be the same each time it comes around, until you actually change the part? so it better feel and sound great before you start playing it out there!
AAJ: What kind of recording technology have you been using? Hard disc or analog? Do you have a home studio? How much unreleased music do you have written or demoed that you?d want to release?
OR: Right now my focus is on live performance and it takes so much work to; a) get a band really tight and b) to get the arrangements and songs themselves as they should be, that home recording has taken a back seat for me right now. I have a Yamaha MOTIF 8 which I use to sequence and get ideas down quickly. I have an Apple G4 and when I have some more time I will start recording at home.
AAJ: Are you planning to maintain somewhat of an equal physical presence in both countries?
OR: I am very much hoping so-I have strong feelings for both the UK and the US and it would be desirable to have a career in both territories, and eventually in other European countries too.
AAJ: Do you do many solo gigs?
OR: Occasionally I do solo gigs where I sing and play my original songs and covers of other pop tunes. Mainly I play with groups- either my own, or pick-up groups for GB work, or club dates.
AAJ: Tell us where do you see yourself on the musical landscape? Singer/songwriter, prodigious instrumentalist? Jazz/rock/pop? Everything? I know you have no problem style jumping, that's for sure.
OR: I would love to perform, tour and record with the Oli Rockberger Band, as my primary career focus. Playing in this outfit is one of the times when I truly get the opportunity to perform music on my own terms; its my own music, I play with two responsive, brilliant and stimulating players, and I am able to explore my interests as a singer/songwriter, and as an improvising instrumentalist, without having to make a choice between the two sides of my musical character.
The idea behind the music and the band is that singer/songwriting, improvising, group interaction and stretching out are all crucial ingredients in what we do, and in this respect, I have tried to create the ideal environment for my musical skills, which are broadly based, and not specific to one area. I'm in between singer/songwriter, jazz player, and gospel/R&B/funk/pop pianist and in my group, I'm able to be all these things, in what we consider to be one homogenous package. In addition to my work with my own group, I would love to become a first call pianist for pop/rock/folk/R&B/gospel/country studio work. Eventually I would like to teach college level and produce. Songwriting for other artists and collaborating is also something I would like to explore in time.
AAJ: What music holds your most extreme interest these days, and what of it may influence your next project or recording?
OR: Both singer/songwriters and jazz artists. I love Peter Gabriel and want to explore more of his work. I also heard some Vince Mendoza arrangements recently and have to get some of his work too. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones and also Oregon interest me as well as Rickie Lee Jones or Michael McDonald. I'm always checking out contemporary gospel and new R&B and pop/rock artists too, in addition to listening to all my old favorites. I think that continuing to explore contemporary music and culture will play a great part in my next project.
AAJ: What's in your CD case at the moment?
OR: I've been listening to this pianist singer/songwriter who was recording in the 90s. His name is Michael Ruff and I really like his music. New Moonshine by James Taylor is also one I've just got hold of and love.
AAJ: Any other musicians you'd like to comment on, or whose playing you particularly respect? Any musicians you would particularly like to work with?
OR: There are so many. Branford Marsalis, Kenny Garrett, Pat Metheny, and Maceo Parker are players I would dream about performing on my music someday. I would love to write/perform with artists like Cassandra Wilson or Dianne Reeves, and it would be a dream to play piano on tracks for Sting, James Taylor, or Eric Clapton someday.
There are some artists who I am honored to call friends who have made a big difference to me through their encouragement and support. Chris Laughlin is one of my mentors- the bassist and musical director for Brian McKnight,-super musician and very special person. Saxophonist/singer/songwriter Walter Beasley is a mentor and one of my most influential teachers from Berklee- a consummate performer and artist-? and I learn so much from watching him play and by talking about music with him. These are people I would love to work with in the future
AAJ: To wrap up, please tell us your musical plans, or projects in the pipeline, for 2003 and beyond.
We are hoping to perform at several festivals and big clubs in the UK and Europe this year, which are all promising works in progress. We'll also be traveling to Ecuador several times over the next 6 months through various connections our drummer, Chris Farr, has over there. We hope to record a full record soon and will continue to do everything we can to get out there and be heard by the public. Winning friends, fans and a following is crucial, as is finding the right management and representation. We need to continue working hard and are hoping to have our team assembled in the near future, through getting our music in to the right hands, and by continuing to perform in high-profile settings in the US and in Europe.

text: So, as of now, my AppleTV has the default "com.apple.mac.icns" icon when connected via AFP. I did some investigating & the AppleTV is defined (in the /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Info.plist file) to actually use the "com.apple.apple-tv.icns" icon. Is there any way to make sure my Mac recognizes that there's an AppleTV that's connected via AFP & that it shows the correct icon? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As good as the professional brands
By Gina
from Frankfort, KY
This little beauty works just as great as those expensive wedge sponges that are "professionally" made. They are small, but give you all you need in blending power! For the price, you can keep one in your makeup bag, one in the bathroom, and one in your travel kit! They also wash well.

I use this puff evey day to put on face powder. It holds a lot of product and is VERY soft. It feels good on my skin, and it is easy to use. I only wish the handle did not slip of my fingers. It is a bit hard to get a grip on the puff.

I throw out the cheap foam applicator that comes with my drugstore face powder and use the Makeup Puff by DHC instead because I get much better result.

add ¼ of the filling to just the middle section of third of the pan.
Gently fold over the top third onto the middle of the omelet, covering the

SOURCE Renault-Nissan Alliance
PARIS, February 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
The Renault-Nissan Alliance sold a record 8,266,098 vehicles in 2013, propelled by record sales in the car group's two largest markets, China and the United States.
Renault-Nissan's 2013 calendar-year sales, which include sales of Russia's AVTOVAZ, increased 2.1% from 2012. This marks the fifth straight year of sales growth. Together, Renault, Nissan and AVTOVAZ account for one in ten cars sold worldwide.
"Strong demand in the world's top markets more than offset anemic growth and declines elsewhere," said Renault-Nissan Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn. "We will always experience periods of regional instability, but we remain bullish: The auto industry is a long-term growth story - and the Renault-Nissan Alliance is well positioned to continue to play a major role in all major segments globally."
Renault group sold 2,628,208 units worldwide in 2013, up 3.1% from 2012. Sales in Europe rose 2.4% to 1,301,864 units despite a 1.7% decline in the overall market. Renault's European market share rose 0.4 percentage points to 9.5%, making it the fastest growing automotive group in Europe in 2013.
