Solvar Jewelry Sterling Silver Claddagh Knot Band $89.95
Sterling Silver Claddagh Knot Band. This sterling silver Celtic knot ring with Claddagh front combines both the knot and Claddagh. It is made by Solvar, Dublin, Ireland. The silver knotwork and Claddagh designs stand out brilliantly against a background of black, oxidised silver.
The story of the Claddagh goes back to the 1600's when the first ring was made in Claddagh on the edge of Galway City. By tradition it is taken to signify the wish that love and friendship should reign supreme. Two hands cradling a crowned heart: The Heart for Love, the Hands for Friendship, the Crown for Loyalty.
Celtic knot-work embodies a richness and pureness of ancient Celtic times. It dates back as far as the 5th century and was used extensively by the ancient monks to illuminate the world famous Book of Kells manuscripts. The interlaced unbroken lines symbolize one's spiritual growth, eternal life and never ending love – having no beginning and no end. Each twist and turn has its individual magical and mystic qualities.

This professional Masters program is designed to provide entry-level graduate education in the field of occupational therapy. Students learn entry-level skills and techniques commonly used in the practice of occupational therapy in a variety of areas and with diverse populations. They develop the ability to apply these skills through effective clinical reasoning based on a solid theoretical foundation of human function. The purpose of occupational therapy is to help individuals achieve a maximum level of independence in all areas of their lives. Occupational therapy is needed when an individual's ability to live independently, to care for personal needs, and to participate in work, school, family and community life is disrupted by illness or injury. Occupational therapists also provide education and training for wellness and prevention concerns. Occupational therapists work in schools, skilled nursing facilities, clinics, and hospitals, as well as alternative service delivery models (e.g., prisons, community mental health agencies and business/industry).
The following prerequisites (or their approved transfer equivalents) are required for admission:
BIO 1110: General Biology
BIO 2110 and BIO 2120: Anatomy Physiology I & II
BIO 3020: Pathophysiology
HSC 2209: Medical Terminology
PSC 1501: Physics* (or PSC 1201)

Department Chair: Diane Anderson, PhD., M.P.H., OTR/L
All occupational therapy practitioners must graduate from an accredited occupational therapy program and pass the national certification examination in order to practice. In addition, most states require occupational therapy practitioners to be licensed.
The Occupational Therapy Entry-level Master's Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, P.O. Box 31220, Bethesda, MD 20824-1220. AOTA's phone number is (301) 652-AOTA. Their website is www.aota.org.
Upon completion of all academic and fieldwork requirements of the Occupational Therapy Program, students are awarded a Master of Science (M.S.) degree. Graduates of the Program are eligible to sit for the National Certification Examination for Occupational Therapists administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). Information about NBCOT and the certification examination can be found at www.nbcot.org. Note: A felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit for the NBCOT certification examination or attain state licensure. An individual, who has a felony background and is considering entering an occupational therapy program, can have his or her background reviewed prior to actually applying for the exam by requesting an Early Determination Review (https://www.nbcot.org/en/Students/Services#EarlyDetermination ).
After successful completion of this examination, the individual will be a registered occupational therapist (OTR or OTR/L). State licensure is usually based on graduating from an accredited occupational therapy education program and passing the NBCOT certification examination. All occupational therapy practitioners must pass the National Certification Examination for the Occupational Therapist in order to practice.

The Occupational Therapy Entry-level Master's Program is currently a 3 plus 2.5 year model for incoming first-year students. During the first three years, students take the prerequisites for the Occupational Therapy Program, complete the College's general education requirements, and may complete courses that would contribute to a minor.
During the final year of undergraduate study, the student completes the first year of the 2.5 year Occupational Therapy Entry-level Master's Program and receives a baccalaureate degree (B.A.) in Health Sciences. These are the first-year graduate occupational therapy courses that also serve as the final year of the undergraduate Health Science major:
OTH 5331: Research I: Design and Proposal 2 cr.
OTH 5501: Foundations of Occupational Therapy 4 cr.
OTH 5502: Life Span Occupational Performance: Task Analysis and Media 4 cr.
OTH 5503: Motor Functioning Across the Life Span 2 cr.
OTH 5504: Assessment and Intervention Skills 2 cr.
OTH 5505: Functional Anatomy 4 cr.
OTH 5515: Neuroscience 5 cr. (Cross-listed as PTH 5511)
OTH 5521: Biomechanical Practice in Occupational Therapy 4 cr.
OTH 5522: Psychosocial Occupational Therapy 4 cr.
OTH 5544: Documentation 2 cr.
OTH 5552: Level I Fieldwork - A 1 cr.
OTH 5553: Level I Fieldwork - B 1 cr.
As a graduate student, the student completes the final 1.5 years of professional preparation, including the graduate research project and the required six months of full-time fieldwork experience, to earn an entry-level Master of Science (M.S.) Degree in Occupational Therapy.
Students who hold a baccalaureate degree may take the 2.5 year entry-level Masters Degree program as graduate students. Baccalaureate holders must complete the Occupational Therapy Program prerequisites prior to admission to the Masters program.
Transfer students who do not hold a baccalaureate degree must complete 96 credits, general education requirements, and the Occupational Therapy Program prerequisites prior to admission to the Program.
The Occupational Therapy Program has made the decision to convert the Program to a 4+2 1/2 (post-baccalaureate) model of education and require a 3.0 preferred minimum GPA for application into the program. These changes will phase in according to the following schedule. The College of St. Scholastica defines a full-time St. Scholastica student as one who is registered for at least 12 credits/semester at St. Scholastica for two consecutive semesters immediately preceding the application, not including the semester in which the student is applying. An internal transfer is a student who does not meet the criteria for a full-time St. Scholastica student, but is registered at St. Scholastica for the fall in which they are applying to the program. An external transfer is a student who has never registered as a full-time St. Scholastica student.

^The new catalog would reflect the 4+2 1/2 model and change to a 3.0 preferred admission GPA; the FACT program would switch to the 3.0 preferred minimum GPA once that information is listed in the catalog.
*Students are able to apply/reapply during their senior year.
A St. Scholastica student who applies to the Occupational Therapy Program in November 2014 must be either in their senior year or already have a bachelor's degree. By entry into the program in Fall 2015, all students must have completed a bachelor's degree.

^The new catalog would reflect the 4+2 1/2 model and change to a 3.0 preferred admission GPA.
+ Transfer students must complete all occupational therapy application requirements; if they apply prior to completing an undergraduate degree, they must also complete the Benedictine Liberal Arts requirements.
An internal transfer student (a student who is attending St. Scholastica but doesn't meet the criteria of a St. Scholastica student) must be a senior or have a bachelor's degree to apply to the Program during the Fall 2014 application cycle. An external transfer (a student who is not enrolled in St. Scholastica during the fall in which he/she applies) must be a senior or have a completed bachelor's degree to apply to the program during the Fall 2013 application cycle.
There are two methods of acceptance into the Occupational Therapy Program, the First-Year Admission Criteria Track (FACT) or the Standard Admissions Track.
The Occupational Therapy Program uses the Occupational Therapy Centralized Application Service (OTCAS) for those wishing to apply to the program. Prior to November 1st of the application year, all students, FACT and Standard Admissions Track, will use the Occupational Therapy Centralized Application Service (OTCAS) to apply to the Occupational Therapy Program. Visit the OTCAS website at AOTA (http://www.aota.org/Educate/EdRes/OTCAS) for more information.
The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy Program will consider only those applicants who submit a completed application through OTCAS including:
In addition to applying to OTCAS, Standard Admissions Track applicants will need to:
Note: Meeting minimal entrance requirements does not necessarily guarantee admission.
Preference is given to applications submitted by November 15 (of junior year for those following the schema). Applicants will be considered after the submission date if there are spaces available. The initial acceptance pool consists of up to 20 qualified FACT students and the remainder of qualified St. Scholastica and transfer students for a class of 32.
For assistance with applications, students may contact the Office of Graduate and Extended Campus Admissions, The College of St. Scholastica, 1200 Kenwood Ave, Duluth, MN 55811-4199. Telephone (218)723-6285 or (866)478-9277, Email email@example.com
FACT (the First-Year Admission Criteria Track):
First year students at The College of St. Scholastica may apply for early application to the Occupational Therapy Program by following FACT, the First-Year Admissions Criteria Track. FACT is a criterion-based early admission program for the graduate Occupational Therapy Program. Students who declare their intent to pursue an M.S. degree in occupational therapy by the end of their first-year will be guaranteed admission to the program after three years of undergraduate work, should the student meet the plan criteria. FACT is available for up to 20 first year students on a first-come first-serve basis with applications accepted until May 1st.
Students who have enough credits when they arrive at The College of St. Scholastica as first year college students to make them sophomores (or higher), may apply as FACT applicants only if there are less than 20 FACT applicants in the future occupational therapy class with whom they will apply.
FACT criteria:
Students who do not meet the criteria will be removed from the guaranteed FACT admission track, but may still apply to the graduate Occupational Therapy Program through the standard application process.
Benefits to the FACT applicant include guaranteed admission into the graduate Occupational Therapy Program, continuous access and interaction with an Occupational Therapy Program faculty member, and exemption from the application interview.
In addition to the above criteria, students will be assigned to an Occupational Therapy Program advisor at the end of the spring semester of their first year.
Once accepted into the Occupational Therapy Program, and prior to beginning classes, students must submit the following documentation to the Department of Occupational Therapy:
Course fees are assessed each semester for course materials and other expenses. The amount is determined from actual costs each year. Students can anticipate total charges of approximately $1,200 for course fees and approximately $2,000 for textbooks and resources, during the course of the 2-1/2 year Occupational Therapy Program. During the time a student is completing fieldwork, the student is responsible for living expenses, transportation to and from the site, and other related costs. Level II Fieldwork experiences are full-time (40 hours/week) work experiences that often require homework assignments and outside responsibilities.
Student handbooks are provided to all accepted applicants for specific policies and procedures related to academics and fieldwork.
Students may enroll on a full-time or part-time basis. All courses, however, must be completed successfully in sequence. Following completion of the academic component of the Occupational Therapy Program, the student completes fieldwork experiences, each typically 12 weeks in length. Fieldwork is arranged by the Occupational Therapy Program at approved sites throughout the United States.
The first year of the Occupational Therapy Entry-Level Master's Program presents history, foundational concepts, contemporary practice models, and occupational therapy intervention methods. The second year is designed to develop clinical reasoning, intervention strategies and critical inquiry skills. Working with Occupational Therapy Program faculty, students complete a capstone experience and/or a quantitative or qualitative research study or project. The third year is devoted to a minimum of two 12-week clinical experiences. Throughout the Occupational Therapy Entry-Level Master's Program, students are challenged to analyze and integrate didactic material with clinical experiences.
The occupational therapy curriculum is in the process of revision. The complete and up-to-date curriculum is detailed on the Occupational Therapy Program website at http://www.css.edu/academics/school-of-health-sciences/graduate-areas-of-study/occupational-therapy.html.

Investigators in the Boston Marathon bombing pressed the search Thursday for one or two potential suspects spotted on video, while President Barack Obama paid a visit under heavy security to offer words of reassurance to the city and a warning to those responsible for the attack: "We will find you."
BOSTON (AP) � Investigators in the Boston Marathon bombing pressed the search Thursday for one or more potential suspects spotted on video, while President Barack Obama paid a visit under heavy security to offer reassurance to the city and a warning to those responsible for the attack: "We will find you."
In Washington, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the FBI wants to speak with individuals seen in at least one piece of footage from the race, but she said she isn't calling them suspects. She gave no details on what the video shows.
A day earlier, City Council President Stephen Murphy said investigators were hunting for a man seen on a department store surveillance video dropping off a bag near the finish line and then walking away.
At an interfaith service honoring the three people killed and more than 180 wounded in Monday's twin blasts, the president sought to inspire a stricken city and comfort an unnerved nation, declaring that Boston "will run again."
"We may be momentarily knocked off our feet," Obama said at the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Cross. "But we'll pick ourselves up. We'll keep going. We will finish the race."
The crowd applauded as Obama warned those who carried out the attack: "Yes, we will find you. And, yes, you will face justice."
There was a heavy police presence around the cathedral as residents lined up before dawn, hoping to get one of the roughly 2,000 seats inside. By 9 a.m., they were being turned away.
Among those who couldn't get a ticket was 18-year-old Eli Philips. The college student was a marathon volunteer and was wearing his volunteer jacket. He said he was still shocked that "something that was euphoric went so bad."
Ricky Hall of Cambridge showed up at 8 a.m. but was turned away from the line to get inside that was already stretching down at least two city blocks.
"I came to pay my respects to the victims," he said. He said he was also angry that someone would desecrate the marathon, and he urged maximum punishment for the perpetrators.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said he shared the frustration that those responsible were still at large, but he said solving the case will not "happen by magic."
"It's going to happen by doing the careful work that must be done in a thorough investigation," Patrick said. "That means going through the couple of blocks at the blast scene square inch by square inch and picking up pieces of evidence and following those trails, and that's going to take some time."
The bombs were crudely fashioned from ordinary kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and ball bearings, investigators and others close to the case said. Investigators suspect the devices were then hidden in black duffel bags and left on the ground.
As a result, they were looking for images of someone lugging a dark, heavy bag. Investigators had appealed to the public to provide videos and photographs from the race finish line.
One department store video "has confirmed that a suspect is seen dropping a bag near the point of the second explosion and heading off," Murphy said. He said he was briefed by Boston police.
Several media outlets reported that a suspect had been identified from surveillance video taken at a Lord & Taylor department store between the sites of the bomb blasts.
Seven bombing victims remained in critical condition.
Dr. Peter Burke, chief of trauma surgery at Boston Medical Center, said Thursday that one of the youngest victims, a 5-year-old boy is getting better and "is going to be OK." A blast can often compress a child's chest, bruising the lungs and heart, he said, adding he is pleased with the boy's progress.
Dozens of victims have been released from hospitals, and officials at three hospitals that treated some of the most seriously injured said they expected all their remaining patients to survive.
The blasts killed 8-year-old Martin Richard of Boston, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell of Medford, and Lu Lingzi, a Boston University graduate student from China.
Associated Press writers Jay Lindsay, Pat Eaton-Robb, Steve LeBlanc, Bridget Murphy and Meghan Barr in Boston; Eileen Sullivan, Julie Pace and Lara Jakes in Washington; and Marilynn Marchione in Milwaukee contributed to this report.

R&B star Lauryn Hill has been sentenced to serve three months behind bars for tax evasion.
The former Fugees frontwoman will spend another three months under house arrest and nine months on supervised release once she is freed from federal prison.
At a hearing on Monday, a judge in Newark, N.J., ordered Hill to report to prison by July 8, reports TMZ.com.
The ruling came just one day after Hill's lawyer confirmed the star had paid off more than $900,000 in tax debts and penalties.
Last year, the singer pleaded guilty to three charges of failing to file her tax returns between 2005 and 2007.
During the hearing, Hill handed a bizarre statement to the judge, in which she compared her situation to slavery. It read: "I was put into a system I didn't know the nature of… I'm a child of former slaves. I got into an economic paradigm and had that imposed on me.
She added, "I sold 50 million units… (and) now I'm up here paying a tax debt. If that's not likened to slavery, I don't know what is."

I'm trying to implement a NAT Punch-Through system where in clients can connect to each other without users needing to port forward. However, I've come across some problems with which I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with. I'll try my best to describe the situation and problem.
Essentially, I have two java applications; a server and a client. In order to test the system, I run two instances of the client and one of the server. The client can run in one of two modes, as it can either 'host' a session or 'join' a session. When testing the system, I have one client host and one join. What I'm attempting to do is have the server 'introduce' the two clients so that they can freely communicate without the server, but more importantly without the user having to do any port forwarding.
So far, I've got to the stage where the clients can connect to the server, while the hosting client is able to upload its information to the server and this information is passed on to the second client when it connects. The server is able to freely communicate with the client, without the need of any port forwarding on the clients end. However, my problems begin when I attempt to connect from one client to another (using the same socket that was used to contact the server). Despite each client having one anothers information, the packets never seem to get through. What I'm doing is having the server obtain the IP/PORT for both clients using packet.getAddress() and packet.getPort(), but when the clients send packets to each other, they are never received.
The second client attempting to receive the packet from the hosting client does so like this:
DatagramPacket receiver = new DatagramPacket(new byte[1024],1024,this.host_ip,this.host_port); Client.sock.receive(receiver); String ping = (new String(receiver.getData())).trim();
While the hosting client sends the packet like this:
send = "ping".getBytes(); DatagramPacket sendPacket = new DatagramPacket(send,send.length,ip,port); Client.sock.send(sendPacket);
I'm not really sure where I'm going wrong and I'd really appreciate any help available. Maybe there's something wrong in the architecture that I'm trying to implement, although to me it seems fine.

Forty-five years ago, the Doll family lost their beloved Aunt Sarah from their humble dollhouse home. After finding her Aunt Sarah's journal stashed in the library bookshelves, Annabelle Doll takes it upon herself to venture out of the house and look for her aunt. On one of her explorations, she meets a new set of dolls and befriend Tiffany. With a new friend and a new burst of courage, Annabelle and Tiffany venture into the world of the living humans to look for their missing relative.
There are number of elements in this book that make it fantastic.
1. Illustrations by Brian Selznick. The author and illustrator of The Invention of Hugo Cabret does a fantastic job bringing the doll families to life in this book. He pencil illustrations are amazing, depicting the smallest flecks of emotion in the doll's faces.
2. Ann M. Martin. The author of the Babysitter's Club teams up with author Laura Goodwin to write the first in a trilogy about the Doll family. This book is imaginative, funny and well paced. Annabelle's family is from the Victorian era, made of porcelain and passed down from generation to generation. Tiffany's family is new, plastic and perfect for the rough hands of a playful 5-year-old younger sister. The contrast between old and new, traditional v. modern is well examined through the friendship of Annabelle and Tiffany.
3. Living Dolls. Lives in Dollhouses. I LOVE, LOVE this genre in children's fiction. This book is a perfect for fans of the following:
- The Indian in the Cupboard series (Lynne Reid Banks)
- The Castle in the Attic (Elizabeth Winthrop)
- Toy Story (the movies)
- Time Windows (Kathryn Reiss)
The storyline is simple to follow, adventurous and the conversations feel true to the ages of the characters. Parents can enjoy this book and also use it as an opportunity to share stories from their childhood, or pass along toys from their childhood.

No, that's not right. The robust version of the Hausman test proposed
by Arellano (not Wooldridge - see the xtoverid help file for the
references) is what xtoverid implements. The standard interpretation is
FE vs. RE (but if you read up on the literature, you'll find there are
other interpretations available). Pooled OLS doesn't figure here.

There is a confusion here between the estimation of the coeffs and the
estimation of the var-cov matrix.
When you say the model is "fitted" using FE, for example, it means you
are "fitting" a line to the data, i.e., you are estimating coefficients.
You get the same FE coeffs whether you specify kernel-robust SEs (e.g.,
Newey-West), or cluster-robust SEs, or Driscoll-Kraay SEs (xtscc), or
You want to compare the FE and RE estimates (not pooled OLS) and have
the comparison - the Hausman test - be robust to various violations of
the assumptions about the disturbances. This is where the VCE comes in,
and why you might want to use cluster-robust, or Newey-West, or
Driscoll-Kraay, or whatever, when constructing the test statistic.
This is what Arellano did - he showed how to construct the test
statistic for FE vs RE using an artificial regression, and in such a way
that it is cluster-robust, i.e., robust to arbitrary within-group serial
correlation. The way this is done is to estimate an artificial
regression and then use Stata's -test-.

That's true. But see Daniel Hoechle's Stata Journal paper (2007, vol. 7
no. 3) on Driscoll-Kraay SEs as implemented in xtscc. He has a section
on how to extend the Arellano approach to this case.

qpac09 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de camiseta y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 54 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
Joey Kangaroos
I decided to start up a t-shirt line mainly because I think it will be a fun project. I enjoy t-shirts from johnny cupcakes, pacsun, urban outfitters and would like the design to fall into that category. If chosen, I will most likely contact you for addition designs for the line.
My target audience will be mainly Teens - Young Adults. I am mainly focusing on the younger generation that enjoy wearing trendy clothes. Shirts will be printed on American Apparel Tees.
I really like how "Johnny Cupcakes" incorporates the cupcake logo in their t-shirt designs and logo and would like to do the same with my brand. Instead of a cupcake I would like a silhouette of a baby kangaroo to be used. People should be able to recognize what the silhouette is and it also has to be different than the "Kangol Kangaroo." Below are some general requirements that I'm looking for.
- Baby Kangaroo Silhouette (this will most likely be used as the logo of the line and will be used on sweatpants, polos, etc.)
- Modern Design. Something you could possibly see in a Urban Outfitters or Pacsun.
- You do not have to use "Joey Kangaroos" on the t-shirt if you think the graphic is adequate.
I have added below a couple of links as references. The last link is an example of the type of silhouette I am looking for.
Please feel free to be as creative as you would like. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Use Windows PowerShell Commands in Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2
Hi there -
Using Windows PowerShell commands in Windows Server 2012 for basic administration and networking tasks can save a lot of time. This is true not only because you can script the tasks for application on multiple computers, but you also save time by not having to navigate through sometimes complex user interface (UI) dialog boxes when you use PowerShell to configure individual computers. Following are some PowerShell commands for basic tasks that many IT Administrators perform on a regular basis, and I thought they might help you get started with PowerShell too.
Rename the computer
After you install Windows Server 2012, the computer is assigned an automatically generated name. In most cases, you won't want to keep the random name, you'll want to assign a name for the computer that matches your organization's naming conventions. Instead of navigating through all of the Windows UI to rename and restart the computer, try opening Windows PowerShell and typing the following commands, making sure to replace "ComputerName" with the actual name that you want to use:
Rename-Computer ComputerName
Configure a static IP address
Most servers are configured with a static IP address rather than having DHCP client enabled and receiving an IP address dynamically from a DHCP server. You can use the command below to configure the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) properties of a network connection with a static IP address. Before running this command, ensure that you replace the example parameter values with values that are appropriate for your network.
New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 10.0.0.2 -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet" -DefaultGateway 10.0.0.1 -AddressFamily IPv4 -PrefixLength 24
Configure a network connection with a new DNS server address
If you add a DNS server to your network, you can use the following command to configure IPv4 properties of a statically configured network connection with the IP address of the new DNS server.
Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet" -ServerAddresses 10.10.10.1
Join a computer to a domain
To join a computer to a domain, you can run the following command after replacing the domain name with one that's appropriate for your deployment:
Add-Computer -DomainName corp.contoso.com
When you're prompted to do so, type the user name and password for an account that has permission to join a computer to the domain. To restart the computer, use the following command:
Install Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and DNS and create a new domain in a new forest
If you have a test environment, you probably recreate it on a frequent basis for new configurations and new tests. Or you might be setting up a new organization domain and network. Either way, the following commands install AD DS and DNS with a new forest, new root domain, and domain name of corp.contoso.com to help you speed-install these roles.
Install-WindowsFeature AD-Domain-Services -IncludeManagementTools
Install-ADDSForest -DomainName "corp.contoso.com"
Note that you can install all of the Windows Server 2012 server roles by using the command Install-WindowsFeature, which really streamlines the configuration of servers.
Create a DNS Reverse Lookup Zone
After you install DNS, it's recommended that you create a DNS Reverse Lookup Zone. You can use the following command to configure a reverse lookup zone for a network with the network ID 10.0.0.x:
Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone 0.0.10.in-addr.arpa -ZoneFile 0.0.10.in-addr.arpa.dns
Create a new user account in Active Directory Users and Computers
You can use the following command - after you change the parameter values - to create a new user account in Active Directory. Keep in mind that when you run this command, you'll need to type in the password value at the Windows PowerShell prompt, so this particular method of using this command is not intended for use in scripts.
New-ADUser -SamAccountName User1 -AccountPassword (read-host "Set user password" -assecurestring) -name "User1" -enabled $true -PasswordNeverExpires $true -ChangePasswordAtLogon $false
If you want to assign Active Directory Group membership to the account you just created, you can use this next command. This example assigns group membership to both Enterprise Admins and Domain Admins, so make sure you change these values and the domain name when you use the command, if these are not the memberships and name that you want to assign.
Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity "CN=User1,CN=Users,DC=corp,DC=contoso,DC=com" -MemberOf "CN=Enterprise Admins,CN=Users,DC=corp,DC=contoso,DC=com","CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=corp,DC=contoso,DC=com"
I hope these commands help you configure your network and get started with Windows PowerShell in Windows Server 2012. Also, you can find these commands - and many more - in the Core Network Guide and Companion Guides for Windows Server 2012, which are on the Web at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh882373 .
If you're running Windows Server 2016, see the Core Network Guide.

So where to begin tonight?
Emotions have to be torn amongst fans tonight. Are you one that wanted to see the Flames win tonight, a chance to begin that mid-to-late season wiining streak, that once again might put them in playoff contention? Or were you hoping that the Flames would continue the spiral into oblivion that would
put keep them in the Western Conference Cellar? Hell you might even be so disgruntled by now, that you see the team only needing to pass two more teams before they reach true Nirvana.
Well the Flames came out tonight and decided to tune out the commentary, banter and vitriol coming from all directions. Instead they decided to make a few statements of their own by taking control of this game and never letting it go; despite what Detroit could throw at them. They didn't just get the win tonight, they took it. Only their second win this season when not scoring the first goal.
After being yanked in one LA game and outright benched in the second, Miikka Kiprusoff was probably a little bitter tonight, and felt like he had something to prove. He didn't have to wait long to get that chance and was equal to the task as he stopped back-to-back early chances from Filppula and Zetterberg.
However the ever dangerous Pavel Datsyuk would catch the Flames captain a little flat footed at the 3:20 mark, feed the pass to Nik Kronwall, who would in turn hammer the shot from the point over Kipper's shoulder. Just like that it was 1-0 early for the Wings.
At 5:16 the Flames would get their chance to draw even on the power-play, something they would need to click tonight if they wanted the 2 pts. Alex Tanguay would do just that 40 seconds later as he took a tipped pass up the middle. One quick move on Gustavsson and then roof-daddy… and we were all tied up.
Jay Boumeester would give the Flames the 2-1 lead, taking the lead pass from Lee Stempniak and wristing it passed the Monster. Nice to have you back Lee!
Flames got out-shot 15-6 by Detroit, that's nothing new, they were also out-chanced 4-2, but managed to come out of the period with the 2-1 lead. Mostly on the back of the strong play of Kipper, Calgary also dominated the physical game as well as the face-off dot.
A pretty low event start to the second. At the 7 min mark Jiri Hudler would have a glorious chance as he intercepted a pass right in front of Gustavsson. Unfortunately when he finally settled the puck, he was already past the goal and the Wings picked off his attempt to center the puck. At the 11 min mark, Curtis Glencross whistled a one-timer off the crossbar. The Flames were pressing with a much better possession game than they had in the first.
When you hear that the Wings haven't scored a PP goal on the road all year, you just knew that Calgary was going to oblige them as the slumpbuster. Yup, with just over three mins left in the second, Val Filppula, making his way back into the Wings line-up, would tie the game… on the power-play.
On the whole, it was a better period for your Flames. They were out-shot again 12-5 but still controlled the face-off battle. The wings held a slight edge (3-2) on Calgary in scoring chances, which was enough for them to tie it up going into the final frame.
5:37 into the third Lee "Where Have you Been All My Life" Stempniak would take the centering pass from Glencross for the tap into the empty net. Lee must have read my last post-game when I asked,
Remember when Lee Stempniak played for the Flames? What ever happened to that guy?
Lee decided that it wasn't only Kipper that needed to step his game up. Maybe the whole team was paying attention?
Well at 9:12 Scoreface would get himself in the goal column with one of his own. Missing the previous game with a wrist injury, GlenX looked pretty good as he rifled a laser passed Gustavsson, to give the Flames a two goal lead.
Speaking of lasers, just 48 seconds later, Blake Comeau (Yes, that Blake Comeau) would steal the puck at the Wings blueline, turn and put the puck top shelf over Gustavsson like it had eyes. Suddenly the Flames were up 5-2 on the Wings whilst being out-shot 2-1 (36-16)
They had a chance a couple minutes later to increase the lead, but Mikael Backlund barely missed with the Forsberg-like move when he was awarded a penalty shot. Gustavsson litteraly with the toe save.
Calgary really pressed in the final frame. They narrowed the shot total, only being out-shot 38-22 and they drew even with seven scoring chances apiece. For once the difference maker in the game was Calgary's finish rather than being finished by the opposition.
Why The Flames Won…
This one is pretty simple.
This is one of those games that you needed to see a full 60 mins out of the Flames; and that's what you got. Calgary literally played this one til the clock hit zeros. Even once they had the lead, or even a two goal lead, they kept pushing the Wings back, looking for openings and creating chances.
Because despite the fact that both team had seven scoring chances each, Calgary was able to make good on three of them and keep Detroit from capitalizing on any of theirs.
Because this was probably the best third period the Flames have played all year.
Because Kiprusoff had a chip on his shoulder for having to hold a clipboard in the last game and he wanted to make a statement.
Gotta go with Glencross tonight.
Not only did he have a goal and an assist, he hit a couple of posts or else he would have had even more.
Curtis is most effective for this team when he gets a tad surly. It might have been something someone said to him tonight, or he was tired of hitting it off the iron, but whatever it was, he turned it up for the second half of the game.
Steinberg said on the pre-game show that if this team was going to make a last ditch effort at the post season that they would have a better shot with Glencross in the line-up. How true. He definitely put a show on for the fans tonight, and in the end he is one guy that we all know hates lose and just loves to win. No matter where you stand on how the Flames should finish this year, you gotta love the cut of GlenX's jib.

Honourable mention to our favorite Finn. Miikka came out tonight like a world beater. He faced a lot of rubber tonight and some 10-Bell chances from the likes of Datsyuk and Filppula, and came out ahead. Not sure how many were expecting that, but Kipper loves to play in Detroit and it was good to see him finish this game before the "Mule" had a chance to pancake his other knee.
Sum it Up
I'm tempted to leave this section blank because I know that many of you out there have mixed feelings on this win.
Is this a step forward for the team or is it merely another jackpot of fool's gold? The team played a successful, full sixty minutes tonight and dominated a team that is still within catching in the standings. That should be a good thing on any given night but I'm sure there are many that want this team to continue to lose, thus securing a top draft pick.
Here are my thoughts and how they pertain to the article's title tonight.
If you know the story of Icarus, then you know it's about a mans desire to be closer to God, and so he makes a set of wings out of wax and set out on his attempt for the heavens. Unfortunately as he gets higher and higher to where he perceives God to be, the Sun melts the wax wings and he plummets back to earth. See what I'm getting at yet?
Yes the Flames scorched the Wings tonight and the win gets them higher in the standings, but many will wonder how long it will last and are they only setting themselves up for a larger ultimate fall. Personally I want to see this team show an honest effort every night. It sucks watching them lose and it sucks hearing the fans boo.
Am I happy your Calgary Flames won tonight? Yes, and I'm even happier they did it so handedly because I hate the Wings.
I have no idea where this team finishes in the standings and history dictates that even with a surge in the standings, they face a fall of biblical proprtions, but for now, I'm going to take this for what it's worth; a big win, and a sign that some of these guys still care.
What about you?

SEC M5: 03.01.13 EditionPosted by DPerry on March 1st, 2013
- Missouri earned its second road win of the season at South Carolina last night, thanks to a fantastic shooting display. The Tigers hit nearly 70% of their shots, including 6-of-9 from three-point range. "I don't think we could have played any better offensively," head coach Frank Haith said. Guards Keion Bell and Jabari Brown enjoyed a size advantage over the smaller starting Gamecock backcourt, enabling them to combine for 47 points. Phil Pressey (one game after scoring 27 against Kentucky) didn't attempt a single shot, opting instead to serve as a pure play-maker, finishing with nine assists. Missouri will head home for a two-game stretch before traveling to Tennessee for its regular season finale.
- After suffering its first three losses of its SEC schedule, the air of invincibility has vanished from Florida. Don't be too quick to remove them from your list of title contenders, though, as the Gators are finally getting healthy. Billy Donovan announced Thursday that both Will Yeguete and Michael Frazier II have been cleared for this weekend's game against Alabama. "Our guys that have been through the grind of most of the last month or so, they can't rest and relax," Donovan said. "They've got to understand that they've got to step up and they've got to play and they cannot take the approach of, 'Well, we're a little bit deeper. We have more guys available.' Because I just don't know if Frazier and/or Yeguete are going to be really able to be able to really provide some significant minutes for us." Frazier missed only one game, but Yeguete has been sidelined since February 5, during which Florida desperately missed his rebounding ability, only out-boarding its opponent in two of six games.
- With the Gators finally having the luxury of a full squad, their biggest worry this Saturday will be Alabama guard Trevor Releford. The junior guard from Kansas City has been a revelation for the Tide this season, earning him quite a bit of praise. "I see a lot more confidence in his shot," said LJ Goolsby, Releford's AAU coach. "That's been evident the last couple of games, most importantly. The bigger the game, the better he is a lot of times. That speaks volumes about his competitiveness. Competitors want the biggest challenges. They accept it and embrace it." With the departures of JaMychal Green and Tony Mitchell, the position of #1 scoring option was up for grabs in Tuscaloosa this season, and Releford has locked it down. He's been especially hot recently (including a career high 36 points against LSU), and will have to be at his best to upset the Gators in Gainesville.
- Tennessee waited until the last possible opportunity to turn its season around, displaying some pretty remarkable composure during their late-season run. What's behind this new and improved Volunteers team? The Chattanooga Times Free Press' Patrick Brown credits coach Cuonzo Martin and his stoic nature. "You can't get overemotional in certain situations," Martin says. "You've got to be even-keeled. But that's easier said than done." The second-year coach rarely changes his tone in his interactions with the media, even when some of the Vols' early-season performances undoubtedly had him boiling inside. Consider leading scorer Jordan McRae impressed. "You guys see our practices, the way Coach Martin is, you would think we hadn't won a game yet this year," said the junior guard. "That's just the way it's going to be, and I think Coach Martin does a really good job of making us realize we always have a game after this one."
- Kentucky fans were treated to a night of celebration on Wednesday. The Wildcats easily dispatched Mississippi State, as expected, but the real draw was the 1996 team's return to Rupp Arena. With stars like Antoine Walker, Tony Delk, and Walter McCarty all in attendance, coach John Calipari will hope uber-recruit Andrew Wiggins, who was taking his official visit to the Lexington campus, was impressed by the tradition. The Bulldogs were a bit of a break for the Wildcats, whose NCAA Tournament hopes will be put to the test when they travel to Arkansas (undefeated at home in SEC play) on Saturday.

So now that we know all of the 2013 lineup - are you glad you subbed or were there too many duds that made you wish you hadn't?
Yes! 2013 turned out great!
No! Too many bad choices made me wish I hadn't!
So now that we know all of the 2013 lineup - are you glad you subbed or were there too many duds that made you wish you hadn't?
Right or wrong, buying a sub tells Mattel you want more MOTUC figures. Not buying does tells them you don't. Don't let MOTUC end early because you might not like their marketing strategy! Plus polls show you won't regret subbing!
One of the true fan minority - happy MOTU fans!

Hell, YEAH!
Bought my subs for 2014 already before SDCC. I want 'em all. Gotta catch 'em all!

I am always glad I subbed. I never owned toys as a kid, so this line is a dream come true!!
MOST WANTED: Filmation Whiplash, Filmation Ram Man, Filmation Two-Bad, Filmation Buzz-Off, Filmation Sy-Klone, Ice Armor He-Man
This was my first year subbing....
I was at first not enthused about Netossa, but I kept her, and now her sword is coming....
I subbed because of Ram Man, and the hope for Mantenna, Two Bad and Dragstor....well, we're getting Mantenna....so cool.
I seriously dislike anything NA, so I tried to sell Karatti to no avail, and sold my NAHM....OK, I turned Karatti into a custom....solved.
Geldor and Dactys are two more I need to decide on, likely, I'll be keeping both, for whatever reasons....Plundor is not a selling point to me....but hey, I'll still take him.
Ram Man, Fang Man, King He-Man, Jitsu, Snake Face, Foe Men (well Ditztroyer anyway, Dawg is OK, I don't care for Sherrilyn's head), Octavia, Clamp Champ, Mantenna, Castaspella, Horde Troopers....have made it worth it, despite the two what I consider lame ass figures. Also, EA has netted me Strobo & an SOH....and will hopefully net me the Mini Masters, Stonedar set & the Sky High / Jet Sled combo....
Not to mention the Filmation sub....glad I did that one too, despite Nepthu.
So, to sum it up, the **** figures have been well more than outweighed by the good this line has to offer, and I am glad I subbed.
2014 looks to be very promising, more than 2013 as far as figures I want....I have to admit....for some odd reason even Hydron is growing on me....
Recent.... HATMOTU Beast Man & Evil Seed
Wanted.... Filmation Mer-Man, Teela & Sorceress
Needed.... MOTUC Lord Masque
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
Were there some duds in this year? Yes--everyone has characters they don't value as highly (in my case it would be the FFM, Sky High and Plundor--but I will never say that I'm not happy and grateful to have had the chance to sub in the first place. This line is awesome, and I hope it continues chugging along happily for the next two years (and beyond) so that I can get the rest of my favorites, including Queen Angella, King Miro, Flogg, and the rest!

I'm pretty happy with the two subs this year. Nepthu & Plundor are really the two I don't care for but I may change my mind after I get them in hand. I totally hated SLL but once I got him in hand I thought he was a pretty awesome figure.
Yes I'm very happy I have a sub.
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
I was already happy to have subbed (both Club Eternia and Club Filmation), but seeing the rest of the reveals for 2013 just sealed it for me. Only a couple of figures I'm not thrilled about or dislike, but the good far outweighs the bad in my opinion.
No, but it wasn't the character selection or overall design it was totally the execution of the design.

Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
I voted turned out great because I'm around even after selling the unwanted stuff. The Fighting Foe Men and Karatti were BAD choices, which I took a loss on both However after selling King He-Man I recouped that loss. All 3 items I had little interest in.
The rest of the year I'm cool with as I've already got a buyer for NA He-Man and Clamp Champ is VERY unlikely to sell at a loss. Not too thrilled about Geldor, but the rest I'm cool with.
That said, I got my Fangman at cost price and I'm guaranteed Castaspella, Mantenna and Horde Troopers so I'm happy I subbed. Hopefully any profit Clamp Champ sells for makes up for any loss I take on Geldor
Most wanted Filmation style MOTUC figures:
Hunga the Harpy, Webstor, Kobra Khan, Leech, Whiplash, Rattlor, Catra Cat Form, Ram Man, Count Marzo, Two-Bad, King Miro, Twiggets, Frosta, Kothos and Admiral Scurvy.
There are no middle answers, like: "Yes I am glad but I am a bit disappointed!" specially for Plundor in December.
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, King Miro, Melaktha, Crystal-Man, ABC Giants, Stridor, Road Ripper, Land Shark
of course I am, I am a fan of this line.
More specifically other than just fan of the line, I am a fan of the MOTU Property, and though maybe to a lesser extent NA, I do mean the entire property.
All things MOTU are awesome, and I want to keep having more.
I'm not just a fan of He Man, and Two Badd, and so on, but MOTU. SO I buy MOTU stuff. 'Nuff said.
glad i didn't to be honest
People have amnesia for anything before SDCC. We got Ram Man! Octavia! Mantenna! Castaspella! Jitus! NA He-Man! Fang Man! Clamp Champ! Snake Face! Heck Yeah, I'm glad I subbed!
Pause for just a second, and imagine if we still had to get these!! 2013 had it's share of unpopular characters, but not that many. The main culprit was the 3 pack and those are done for good.
Thundercats Hooooooooooo!
Let's not forget unlike Star Sisters, more people actually wanted to keep the Foe Men....I personally did, I like Ditz. But, I am really glad the 3-pack is gone, especially since they chose not to pro-rate the sets instead of charging full figure price per figure.... $75 for one MOTUC item that's not a large beast like Granamyr, or a larger vehicle....was ridiculous....
Recent.... HATMOTU Beast Man & Evil Seed

As a HARDCORE Filmation lover I am SUPER happy with the 2013 lineup!!!
LOVE Ram Man, Snake Face, Fang Man, Clamp Champ, Icer and especially Octavia!!! She's my favorite so far this year I think. I just love Horde and Filmation. That was the peak of MOTU for me. When the Hour of Power was in severe syndication rotation!!
CAN'T WAIT for Stonedar/Rokkon, Castaspella, Shokoti, Batros, Mantenna, Horde Troopers, Sea Hawk, PLUNDOR!!! So much Filmation greatness.

I'm a subber anyways, but I wish that I only had one sub! I fell for last years TG's marketing tactics, and ordered two to help out with the cause. Well, not this year, one is just more than enough especially knowing many of the characters aren't vintage or 200X, and if I needed a duplicate of any character, I either go DOS or eBay.
Epic Metal music rocks the universe.
Glimmer is Vintage....well Vintage Filmation, more or less.... and Hydron is the only lame duck of the bunch....I can't do two subs, especially not knowing if we'll get a 3rd add on sub for 2014 or not, if it wasn't for Transformers, and maybe an add-on sub....I'd get two subs....one for me, and one for my son, well the extras I don't want anyway....for him, which would be quite a few.
If there's no add on, and Transformers die down and they offer a 2014 lite sub, then I'll get a second.

I can't say it turned out "great" due to the 2013 sub only including ONE, yes ONE MYP/200X figure for the entire year.
I had no problem with getting 2 Filmation, 2 PoP, and 2 NA figures in the Club Eternia but I would have preferred a second MYP figure instead of a third Filmation figure.
Why not Evilseed, Prahvus, Veena, or Calix instead of Plundor? That means we would have had 2 MYP characters and 8 Filmation characters in 2013.
MYP Sorceress is a MUST HAVE figure for MOTUC!
I feel from what we've seen so far, 2014 will be a stronger year for Club Eternia right out of the gate.
For 2013, out of the 18 characters we got, I call 5 duds...
My Dud List
1) King He-Man - Design is bad.
2) Jitsu - Head is unbearably small
3) Fang Man - Well executed but I don't want goofy Filmation designed characters.
4) Dactys - Too 200X looking. Doesn't fit with other designs.
5) Plundor - See #3
5 out of 18 isn't bad until you add it up...$30 each x 5 duds = $150!
I also subscribed to Club Filmation and if I add my dud from that sub, I spent another $30 on duds. (Nepthu)
But I'm not complaining. If finding a solution for these 6 duds ensures I get all the other figures I want, I'll take em in a heartbeat.
And I can only hope I'll dodge the Razz bullet again in 2014! Fingers crossed.

Treasure Chest Thursday - Farmer's Wife Clipping
things, ten years ago, my brothers and I would find a letter from the 1930s, a recipe, an advertisement, a sheet of music, a clipping, a letter dated 1999, a christmas card from the
1950s, another clipping, a weekly church bulletin from the 1970s and an undated shopping list, all in one small handful of papers from any drawer or folder in her house... sometimes even an envelope with money in it - she taught music lessons. Obviously, we did not dare to just pitch anything without going through it. After we had actually pitched the "junk" - we still had several boxes of "goodies" - depending on the judge. As the oldest, I received the boxes with the oldest stuff. Too much description, but you get the idea of the challenge I have faced in deciding what to do with what I had.
Today, and from time to time in the future, I will be sharing with you some of these clippings and relate them to you in the context of her self-described life as first, "a banker's daughter" and then "a farmer's wife" - in rural Iowa, from the 1930s to the 1970s (Dad, the farmer, died in 1977). See her 1936 diary annotated at: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~earlyyrs/eileen/1936web/
This clipping is apparently from approximately July 1937 based on the info on the flip side... Pete and Eileen, my parents... were married on St. Patrick's Day, 17 Mar 1938... this was part of her "reading material" as they were deciding to get married... she was not yet 19 years old.
The text of "Why Marry a Farmer?":
A farm woman, who is the mother of a young daughter who is about to marry a farmer, remembers the years of hard work that she has had on the farm, and wonders if her daughter is doing the right thing. But she is a wise mother and is saying nothing to her daughter.
What do you other farm mothers think?
Here is a letter from Mrs. R.N.C., of Ringgold county, Iowa, the mother referred to above:
"When my husband and I started out, we were young and vigorous. It didn't make any difference to us if I did the family washing on a washboard and that John finished up his chores at night by the light of a kerosene lantern. We both felt confident that if we worked hard while we were young, things would be easier when we were old. We would wait until we were older to have electricity, running water and an occasional vacation.
"But that time has never come. About the time that we could expect to let up a little from the grind, the depression hit us. Now we are old and tired, and at exactly the same place we were when we started, forty-five years ago.
"Of course, these years haven't been unhappy years. I love the farm. It's the finest place in the world to raise a family. And we have raised a fine family. But when I see my youngest girl, just out of school, about to marry a young farmer, in my heart I can't help but wish she had a life ahead of her that would be a little easier, a few more luxuries, and more chance to look forward to a less strenuous old age."
Families are Forever! ;-)

The items that are parents and grandparents saved truly give us an insight into what they valued and what they were thinking at various times in their lives.ReplyDelete
Your mother was obviously thinking about her future as a farmer's wife. Farming never has been an easy occupation; for the farmer or for the family. They are all our unsung heroes!
So true, Lori! And, it is why we like to write about them and enjoy the memories over and over!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for the comment! ;-)
I love clipping articles like these and old weird recipes. I keep them in a scrapbook, just because.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the note. I'm not that peculiar after all!
I can identify with this....I, too, am a saver at heart. If someone down the line decides to pick up on this genealogy addiction, I will have left them a wealth of material...lol Perhaps the one ancestor that saved was my maternal grandmother. I enjoy going through there items and every time I do, I find something I missed the last look through. Thanks for sharing this story, Bill. Your stories are always enjoyable.ReplyDelete
Kathleen and Linda...ReplyDelete
Yes, and I am a saver as well! Boxes and boxes... Have been hoping to organize by decades... that should help my daughters someday... hopefully me, in the meantime! ;-)

Studied sound: Paying attention pays off
Inner Space
at Coupe DeVille's
Saturday, June 5
Every summer, after the students and other college hangers-on fall off the face of the earth, I make my yearly pilgrimage to Coupe DeVille's on the Corner to see a random act, for comedic value (summer is the one time of year when Coupe's isn't flooded by stereotypical students and going there feels a bit like braving the lions den).
Saturday night found me sitting at one of Coupe's fine outside tables, awash in a sea of checkered cloths, with barely a soul to ignore my presence. Besides my little bulkhead of journalistic endeavors, only one table graced by three boisterous souls greeted the band, Inner Space, at the time of their scheduled starting bell. So they waited for more merry youths to show, and so did I. But I studied the group as they set up, with an eye to deducing their sound. Here are a few of my notes, scrawled on my cocktail napkin:
Clue 1: The drummer possesses a fine set of dreads, while the group's other two members have long thick manes.
Clue 2: There seems to be no vocal mic.
From those clues I came to the conclusion that the group was an instrumental jam band (dreads signify jam or occasionally reggae, but rather than looking like they could smoke their clothes if need be, all except the drummer resembled stereotypical computer programmers). And, by Jove, I was right on the mark.
From left to right, Inner Space is made up of a keyboardist, guitarist, drummer (whose set bore four toms, if I am not mistaken), and a bass player, and after 34 minutes of slowly setting up, the group got down to it. Instead of taking the group's whole sound in at once, a method that has often proven the death knell for jam bands, I decided to study each part in turn, where the changes were, and what my impression was. Here are my notes for the first song:
Section 1: One bass note for two minutes w/ wahwah guitar noodling. Rapid fire and tasty organ lines
Section 2: Pipes of pan-type keyboard sound. Wah guitar chords
Section 3: Nintendo game sounds effect on the guitar. Drums doing the same thing as before, bass a little different flourishes at the end of that one note.
My scribblings continued in this vein for the entire 15 minutes. Let's just say that studying Inner Space closely made me appreciate what the group was attempting much more– though parts of their songs appeared to be made up on the spot, the group would pull back together for a nice melodious section where the non-percussion instruments played complementary parts.
The entire group was well trained in their instruments, especially the keyboardist, whose runs could be heard beneath the guitar more than occasionally. I might venture to add that placing her a little more out there in the group's sound mix would be a nice change. I guess once in a while studying really does pay off.
Inner Space
