My problem this time round will be selecting what to watch for the season and what will go for the after-season, because of the number of great and anticipated shows I have my eyes on.
Must Watch:
-The World God Only Knows I have been looking forward to this one for a long time now, so it goes as a no-brainer.
-My Little Sister can't be This Cute you'll come around
-Bakuman I'm very interested on how this will turn out like
-Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt more like wicked and amazing with awesome on the side
-Iron Man Even though The new trailer filled me with dread, I still look forward to this
-Sora no Otoshimono: Forte Heavenly
-Letter Bee R after that cliffhanger, ofc I'll fallow this one
Maybe later:
-Index 2 I might just marathon it like I did with the last series, but that depends on the first few episodes (and If I had time)
-Arakawa under the Bridge first season still in the backburner
-Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru see Index
-Samurai Girls or Motto To-Love-Ru Might be guilty pleasure
-Star Driver hey, any show that duckroll is exited for is worth a try in my book
will be keeping an eye for anything else as usual

Will watch:
- Letter Bee S2: Damn that cliffhanger
- Arakawa UB S2: S1 was hilarious and had some surprisingly interesting introspective moments
- Index S2: Entertaining S1, no reason not to continue
- OreImo: Fluff of the season? The novel seems to be extremely popular at least
Will likely watch:
- Bakuman: Manga supposedly really good
- The World God Only Knows: Premise kinda zzz, but main chara has potential to be awesome.
- Psychic Detective Yakumo: Mystery and ghosts whee.
- Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru: SHAFT + Shinbo. Also, oh god an obaa-san maid.
Will maybe watch:
- Stardriver: BONES original content sounds nice, though I'm a little on the fence for anything with mecha
- Panty and Stocking: wtf GAINAX
- Kuragehime: Brains Base in Noitamina, hmm
- Ika Musume: Seems to be the obligatory cute slice of life title
- Fortune Arterial: Game player seems to like it

Don't Call Me Bro
For the first time since 2001...number of series I'm looking forward to in a season is...zero. I plan to go into the October season with no expectations and hope something surprises me. Anime circle in my parts is almost ready to blacklist the October season in full.
Not insulting anyone else's tastes, mind you. Hope your enthusiasm turns out to be validified. But I am personally feeling a sense of foreboding.

I **usually** check the first episode of **almost** everything that airs in a particular season. but there's a couple of series I will be looking forward to with more enthusiasm:
Kuragehime. Noitamina show for the Fall Season. Adaptation of an **Award Winning** Josei Manga. story centered on female otaku! it sounded really interesting when I connected the dots.
Bakuman. Mangaka duo that created Death Note. Kasai Kenichi (Honey and Clover, Nodame, Aoi Hana) and JC Staff are adapting the source material. one of the most interesting manga (about manga) out there.
Imouto. I'm really looking forward to this show. Loved the gorgeous artwork, loved the characters (Light Novel/Manga), loved the voice acting (Drama CD).
To-love-ru. finally finished the first season a little while ago. wonder if I should go through the ovas first. the show should be fun to watch.
God only knows. no way I'm going to miss this.
Shinryaku! Ika Musume. I get feeling the show is going to be to my liking.
Index. maybe. if the show is more like railgun and less like index. =D
MM! maybe.
Samurai girls. maybe.

I can't really see much that I'm excited about, honestly. I guess there are a few series I'd consider watching, and no doubt will for the first few episodes to see if they're worth it.
These are, at the moment:
Samurai Girls (Kept it in mind when I first read about it and saw the trailers)
Shinryaku! Ika Musume
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes
Fortune Arterial (Sounds fun, I'll give it a try)
My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute!
And for potential amusement, I might even watch the new Pokemon series.

Ah, this could be a good season! There are only two animes I'm 100 percent certain I'll follow though. The first one is Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge. The first season was hilarious, and I can't help but love the quirky characters (especially Riku, Hoshi and Sister). Hope we find out more about all of them, but I'm most curious when it comes to Nino and Kappa. Simply put: There's no way I'm missing out on this. The other one is Hetalia, because it entertains me, and I don't have a reason to stop watching it now. Besides, I'd like to see how my country will get portraited .
I'm most likely going to check out:
Bakuman. Haven't read a single page of the manga, but have been wanting to for some time. I'm looking forward to this series, it's going to be fun, I'm sure.
Kuragehime. Jellyfish. Female otaku. Hanazawa Kana as the main character. Yup, this should be interesting .
Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru. I'd like to get more familiar with SHAFT, and I like the little I've read about the story.
Shinryaku! Ika Musume. I don't have a specific reason to watch it, I just usually check out comedies .
The World God Only Knows. I like manga and animes with otakus, and the manga is popular, so why not?
Yosuga no Sora. I like the character design very much, and I liked the synopsis I read on MAL.
My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute. This will be interesting :>.
I might check out:
Star Driver. I'm not interested in mecha, but I miss hearing Miyano Mamoru's voice .
Psychic Detective Yakumo. Seems like this could be pretty good, but... it's a horror anime, so I'll have to find out exactly how scary it's going to be before I watch it.
Togainu no Chi. I'd like to watch a decent shounen ai, but it'll probably be a quite dark series, so I'm pretty iffy about this one.
MM! I'm no ecchi fan, but if the comedy is good I can probably watch it. I'll wait to see what people think of it.

So, I had posted about this awhile ago, but it seems to be morphing and still continuing. My DD is 4.5 months old. She is a bit on the small side -- had gained about 4 ozs per week consistently until recently. We traveled quite a bit over the holidays and she did get sick with both a small stomach flu and a cold (which she is still getting over). I guess these are the hazards of being around so many family members...
Other than a stuffy nose, she seems to be recovered and our ped says that she should be fine, but she has only been putting on 2.5-3 ozs per week for the last few weeks. In addition, she has become very fussy at the breast. Sometimes she will feed for 5-7 minutes and then get frustrated and cry or sometimes she will just pop on and off. I've wondered about low supply. I've never been a great pumper, and a few times after long episodes like this (where I've switched her back and forth many times to keep her eating and interested), I've tried pumping and not been able to get much milk, if any at all.
But other times, there is clearly milk there and she's just un-interested and fussy. I know she has been getting more distracted and I think that she may have some teeth coming in, so could this contribute to it? Or is it possible that she wants to go longer between feeds now or that she may be tired instead? I know it may be a bad habit, but I have often nursed her to help settler her down before walking her to sleep, but that doesn't seem to be working right now.
If her weight gain continues to slow, I'm wondering if I should be considering supplementing. I have been trying to pump after she eats to increase supply, as well as to store up milk for a work trip that is coming up where I will need to be gone for 4 days. She still has plenty of wet diapers per day - around 8 very wet cloth diapers. Her BM's have been spreading out across a few days, but she has one regularly at least every 3 days. And she seems to be happy and developing well at times other than feeding.
Any advice would be appreciated!

"Son jarocho is not a cultural expression that should be locked up in a museum or in the archives of a library. It is a living manifestation of Veracruz's culture that has evolved just as our own existence has. We can't measure how 'traditional' a jarocho band is because they are living the tradition; we all inherit it and generate it too. The kinds of arrangements we make in our songs are a lucid manifestation of the way we see life. It's the game of moving back and forward, a very important aspect in our music."
So asserts an impassioned Ricardo Perry Guillén, founder of Mexican band Los Cojolites. The name may be familiar to some. They have been performing Stateside (alongside Afrobeat dons Antibalas and Latin funk outfit Yerba Buena), and also provided songs for the soundtrack to the movie Frida, the recent biopic on the life of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (wife of celebrated muralist Diego Riviera). The Cojolites are one of a growing number of bands responsible for bringing one of Mexico's most ancient and vivacious folk sounds to a global audience—they're doing it in fine style.
The members of the group—whose ages range from between 12 and 20—hail from Cosoleacaque in the state of Veracruz, where son jarocho was initially developed around 300 years ago. The eponymous capital city of the state has been a key Mexican port for 500 years and hence an active filter for anything coming into the country from outside. The region thus steadily acquired a mix of indigenous and imported—Spanish, Arabic, Gypsy, African, Caribbean—traditions.
This cultural mélange resulted in a syncretic form of local folk music: son is the Spanish word for folk music, jarocho the slang term for the people of Veracruz. From Spain came harmonic structures, verse forms, the staccato heel dance style (zapateado) associated with the music and stringed instruments; from Africa the call and response vocal style, slurring of the notes in characteristic intervals in the scale, use of onomatopoeias and jitanjáforas and irreverent/subversive lyrical content; an indigenous influence was present in the staccato eighth-note rhythm repetitions and certain aspects of the singing style.
After some time, regular instrumentation began to appear, and the genre began to consolidate. The harp (arpa), the jarana (five string guitar) and the requinto (small four-string guitar) became the mainstays of the jarocho ensemble, with added percussion instruments such as the octagonal tambourine (pandero), donkey jawbone (quijada) and wooden box (cajón). Armed with these instruments, soneros gave the music everlasting qualities:

Wow. Good animation all around. GOOD WORK anime production team for extending the fight! This way we can take our time enjoying the fights and story longer!
Can't wait for a new OP/ED and I feel bad for Yukino.
What you guys call Kagura type of character? There are always similar version of her design in other shows and they're SERIOUS out of all the characters.

As always, the anime does a good job of adding extra and filling a few things out, without it seeming out of place or unnecessary. I was a bit surprised, because I thought they'd address a couple of things this episode about Yukino and Milliana, but it looks like they are saving them for next.

Kagura vs Yukino!
They sure has a lot to lose.
That bet was not a smart move.
This battle between celestial wizards really was something.
It was weird to see one of the Sabertooth lose, but that Raven Tail is just dangerous.
Second part of the episode was good but in a relaxing way.

So Yukono had 2 gold keys and a 13th gate? Shouldn't Lucy be able to ask Loke about that? Oh man Kagura was beyond crazy strong though, guessing Erza will fight her at some point. I totally forgot about Milliana, glad Erza was able to meet with her after so long. Never like Sabertooth, but wow their master seems like trash. Wonder what they're aiming for. So the bad event is in 5 days, but there 3 more days to the tournament.

great episode, now there was always a suspicion of a 13th golden key, and hell it looked powerful but looks like Kagura is too powerful, unseathed sword style it was just something when she sliced the giant serpent in 4 from between, i almost thought Yukino will die, seeing how serious Kagura is, but now she owns her life.
seeing Milliana felt good seeing that the not so important characters in the anime are not forgotten, if was very nice
and the Gemma, Master of Sabertooth seems like a ruthless bastard all what i would expect from the Guildmaster of a guild like Sabertooth,
Spoiler for preview:
i din't thought much of her at the beginning of the episode but now i feel very sad for her

kitten you're the guy who defended Fairy Tail OPs for being non-spoilerific so whatever.
It's common knowledge that showing future events is a spoiler and it's seriously not that hard to put a spoiler tag around it, specially in general discussion threads.

I now have a moderator post for reference whenever this silly debate comes up again. Anyway that's enough of my ranting.
As for the episode, we still have a few members of each team that haven't participated yet:
Sabertooth Rogue (sp?)
Fairy Tail Erza, Laxus, (Wendy)
Raven Tail Obra and their leader whose name is escaping me at the moment if it was mentioned
Mermaid Heel Miliana
Blue Pegasus Hibiki, bunny suit
Quattro Puppy uhhhhh the leader and the one with the mask, whatever their names are
Lamia Scale Leon, Sheria
Personally I'm most interested in the Raven Tail members and whoever is in the bunny suit. Lamia Scale definitely is the least interesting guild followed close by Blue Pegasus and Quattro Cerberus. Mermaid Heel is carried hard by Kagura as well.

a little of topic for the anime but it seems to me like everyone seems to overestimate the celestial spirit users. Lucy isn't strong at all she just controls strong spirits. Yukino is the same even angel from Oraction Seis was weak Karen Lilica was honestly weak. The master is a jerk but he also probably never intended to have her fight.

Depends on your definition of "strong". When going by physical strength, then yes all celestial mages are weak. They excel in controlling their magical power and sharing it with their spirits (someone with manga knowledge can probably come up with a better explanation). Controlling strong spirits isn't something that anyone can do and even more so two at once.
Although I share your view on Karen as she's the only one of them who couldn't control two spirits at once, Lucy and Yukino both have no trouble doing so, Angel less so since she had two "normal" spirits compared to two zodiacs. Yukino could also summon the 13th spirit with complete control which someone like (for example) Erza wouldn't be able to do. And while I'm absolutely no Lucy fan she is able to use Urano Metria which is a major power spell.
The main weakness of celestial mages is the user him/herself. No matter how strong your spirits are if the mage is knocked out it's all for nothing.

more powerful the celestial spirit wizard is the more powerful spirits it can summon, and it's wielder magic not caster body magic so, and spirit summoning at that,clearly they themselves cannot fight, using spirits is the way they fight and a spirit summoning wizard's strength is measured by the strength of it's spirits and the number of spirits it can summon at once

Tee-shirt time!!
Yep. I want that.
I go to church, but not to worship God, to find my Christian friends.
Ever go on a 'snipe' hunt? Did it once, as a nieve college 'FOOL!'
It helps to have atleast 4 drinks under your belt, BEFORE, you can start 'seeing' them, in the DARK!
Can we go unicorn watching now, please?
Of all the things I have seen, a unicorn would be very cool,
I need photoshop. Atheist where's waldo: picture a giant "where's IPU" poster filled with pink horses with white party hats for "horns." You have to try to spot IPU...but you won't, ever.

Intel Core I7 Review
About this time last year Intel launched what was the fastest 45nm quad core CPU on the planet, the Intel Core 2 Quad QX9770. Well, guess what, Intel has done it again with the latest architectural achievement, the Core I7 Extreme 965. What the two have is common is that they both are based on Penryn cores, they both are 45 nanometer chips and they both run at a clock speed of 3.2GHz. After these things what you have is a whole new animal. Gone from this chip is the twelve megabytes of L2 cache, this is replaced by a third level of cache at 8MB. Slow and inefficient it is not. With the addition of an integrated memory controller, the memory bandwidth is expected to be huge by comparison to today's top of the line processors, somewhere close to two to three times the peak bandwidth. SMT (Simultaneous Multi Threading) has made a return on the Core I7 generation. This will enable the processor to run a total of eight threads at one time. Some other new features are Dynamic Energy Management, new SSE4 instructions, three level cache with a shared 8MB L3 cache and improved branch prediction. Many are interested in the new efficiencies and features, while many think this generation will be the Holy Grail of processors, Let's find out just how it performs. That's the question that is on everyone's mind.
Closer Look:
When you look at the Nehalem CPUs by themselves you have to wonder what makes them so much different than the previous generation. On the left is the I7 965 Extreme Edition that features a non turbo multiplier of 24 and is unlocked both up and down. Couple the 24 multiplier with the 133MHz base clock frequency and you end up at 3.20GHz. The I7 920 is at the other end of the spectrum and has a maximum non turbo clock multiplier of 20 for a base clock speed of 2.66GHz, in turbo mode this will jump as high as 22 for a turbo speed of 2.93GHz, the same base frequency of the I7 940. To accommodate this massive chip the socket pin count is up to 1366 from the Core 2 processors 775 pin count.
In the pictures above the increase in the size of the die is not readily apparent. The die size on the Nehalem processor core has increased to 263mm2 with a total of 731 million transistors. Comparing the size of the I7 965 to a socket 775 processor makes the size increase that much more dramatic.
While both the I7 965 and i7 920 are engineering samples, the I7 920 was shipped with a retail heatsink. The size increase of the processor die necessitated a larger cooling solution as well. The same concept is used to cool the Nehalem chips that was used on the socket 775 processors, just larger. The copper center slug is surrounded by an aluminum fin matrix to shed the heat generated by the processor. Big is good when it comes to cooling!
Processor? Check! Motherboard? Check! It's time to see just what these little bits of silicon will be paired with to generate some performance numbers.

Skip to comments.Resolution for 'Talk Like A Pirate Day' Introduced
Posted on 06/24/2013 6:23:32 AM PDT by MichCapCon
MichiganVotes.org has the details on a resolution to support "International Talk Like A Pirate Day" introduced last week by state Sen. Roger Kahn, R-Saginaw.
Sen. Kahn playfully sported an eye patch while his proposal was discussed, but the moment of frivolity is bound to remind observers of how members of a full-time Legislature can be full-time mischief makers, whether they intend to or not.
Another resolution introduced last week by Sen. Tonya Schuitmaker, R-Lawton, officially recognizes June and no other month! as the "official" start of summer. Another bit of lightheartedness, but really haven't Michiganders successfully figured this out on their own for untold generations without any help from politicians?
These resolutions hold no force of law, but sometimes such unnecessary and silly measures do propose ensconcing real-live laws in the state's statute books. For example, in March Sens. Rebekah Warren, D-Ann Arbor, and Howard Walker, R-Traverse City, (among others) introduced a bill that would mandate that the cherry be the official fruit of Michigan. There are more than 60 cherry varieties, but unlike previous cherry bills this one wouldn't compel residents to only recognize just one of them as the state's official fruit.
In 2012 Sen. John Moolenaar, R-Midland, introduced a bill declaring that Iosco County should be the official birding capital of Michigan. As this site wryly concluded, apparently all of Michigans other problems had been solved by then.
Starting in 2008, no less than three bills were introduced to establish an official Scottish tartan of Michigan. One actually stipulated a thread count description. While this may warm the hearts of highlanders, it does little to advance civil society.
In the video below you can see actual official state testimony being taken on the subject. It's laughable really lawmakers commanding from on high: "There shall be man skirts and they must have red to represent the red-breasted Robin!" They certainly entertained the idea.
These legislative fads tend to come in waves. In 2004 at least 11 new bills dealing with state symbols were introduced. They covered everything from the official "state game bird" to an official state song of Michigan.
It may all seem like harmless fun, but Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer, D-East Lansing, connected the dots after Sen. Kahn finished buckling his swash on the pirate talk measure.
She told the body, "I would like to thank the senator from the 32nd District for making the most compelling argument that he could for a part-time Legislature."
Hmm, how is talk like a pirate day different from every other day in Congress and state legislatures?
Everyone in favor vote, "Aye!"...........................
Tasting your Cutlass? That's gonna take a while...............
Arrrrr! 'Tis about time, me mateys!
Talk like a pirate? Would that be talk like the government?
Well Shiver Me Timbers! You be talkin like you be acting all these years.
Everyone knows what you get when you play a country song backwards, but what do you get when you play a pirate movie backwards?
(sorry) It's Monday, and I'm still retired.
Talk like a pirate? A modern pirate? Ok.
"Yo cracker give me yo money. I aint got time
messin with you fool now hand it over."
All those in favor, say "Arrggh"
I like "talk like a pirate day" almost as much as "everyone draw muhammad day."
Glad to see all the important shit in the Michigan legislature is taken care of.
dittos. If they have time for ITLAPD, they can adopt a schedule such as they have in Texas. Or, here is a novel idea... in all that spare time, find laws to repeal so the average jack-n-jill six pack has a chance to clearly understand when they are breaking the law. That alone should take a solid ten years, full time.
The NappyOne
LOL. Now that's funny!
Actually, I'd much rather see legislooters wasting their time with crap like this, than passing new taxes, or funding the destruction of our liberty.

Hermione Norris is guest-starring in the new series of Doctor Who as the show heads for the sunshine of Lanzarote.
The Spooks actress will appear alongside the Time Lord's latest incarnation, Peter Capaldi, in one of this autumn's episodes.
Hermione, who recently starred in First World War drama The Crimson Field, said: "It's exciting to be part of such an iconic show, and one that my kids can watch."
The episode is being written by Peter Harness, who has also written episodes of Swedish crime thriller Wallander.
Other guest stars already announced to join Capaldi later this year include Ben Miller, Tom Riley and Keeley Hawes.
Doctor Who's supremo Steven Moffat said: "It's a testament to the quality of Peter Harness's intense and emotional script that we've been able to attract an actress of the brilliance of Hermione Norris.
"And for the first time since 1984, the Doctor Who production team is heading to Lanzarote. The Doctor is returning to the scene of an old adventure – but there have been sinister changes since his last visit."

101 Tips to Make Your EMR and EHR More Useful – EHR Tips 1-5
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
Time for the next entry covering Shawn Riley's list of 101 Tips to Make your EMR and EHR More Useful. I can't believe that this is the last post in the series. I think it's been a good series chalk full of good tips for those looking at implementing an EHR in their office. I'd love to hear what people thought and if they'd like me to do more series like this one. Now for the final 5 EMR tips.
5. Automatic trending helps all over the place – A picture is worth a thousand words and this is never more true than when we're talking about trending. Make sure your EHR software can quickly take a set of results and/or data points and graph them over time.
4. Keep training over and over – Are you ever done learning software? The answer for those using an EMR is no. Part of this has to do with the vast volume of options that are available in EMR software. However, the training doesn't necessarily have to come from formal training sessions. Much of the training can also come by facilitating interaction and discussion about how your users use the software. By talking to each other, they can often learn from their peers better ways to use the software.
3. Infrastructure is key to performance – I love when people say "My EMR is Slow" cause it's such a general statement that could have so many possible meanings. Regardless of the cause of slowness, the EMR is going to get the blame. For those wanting to dig in to the EMR slowness issue, you can read my pretty comprehensive post about causes of EMR slowness. I think you'll also enjoy some of the responses to that EMR slowness post.
Infrastructure really matters when someone is using an EMR all day every day. There's no better way to kill someone's desire to use an EMR than to have it be slow (regardless of who's responsible).
2. Quit pulling charts as soon as possible – I think this tip should be done with some caution. In certain specialties the past chart history matters much more than in others. Although, it's worth carefully considering how often you really look through the past paper chart in a visit. You might be surprised how rare it is that you really need the past paper chart. If that's the case, consider only pulling the chart when it's needed. If you only find yourself looking through the past paper chart for 2 or 3 key items, then just have someone get those 2 or 3 items put into the EMR ahead of time. Then, it will save you having to switch back and forth. Plus, then it's there for the next time the patient visits.
1. Crap process + Technology = Fast Crap – Perfect way to end 101 EMR and EHR Tips! I like to describe technology as the great magnifier. The challenge is that it will magnify both the good and bad elements of your processes. Fix the process before you apply the technology.
If you want to see my analysis of the other 101 EMR and EHR tips, you can find them all at the following link: 101 EMR and EHR tips analysis.

Real Estate Taxes: Real Property Tax Relief
10 Percent and 2.5 Percent Rollbacks, and Homestead
Exemption, by County, Distributed During Calendar Year
State law (Section 319.302) requires the county auditor,
after application of the tax reduction factors (see
publication PD-23) in accordance with Section 319.301, to
reduce all real property taxes by 10 percent. In addition,
Section 323.152(B) requires the county auditor to further
reduce the real property tax on owner-occupied property an
additional 2.5 percent. Owner-occupants who are age 65 or
older or who are permanently and totally disabled may qualify
for further reduction in their real property taxes by
applying for a homestead exemption under Section 323.152(A).
A homestead exemption is granted for aged or disabled
owner-occupants if their total income does not exceed
Local governments are reimbursed in full from the state
general revenue fund for these tax reductions. The Department
of Education reimburses the schools for their share of the
tax reductions and the Tax Commissioner reimburses the
counties, townships, municipalities, and special taxing
districts for their shares of the tax reductions per Section
321.24(F) and Section 323.156. The county auditor also
receives 2 percent of the amount reimbursed under Section
323.152 as payment for administering the homestead exemption
and 2.5 percent rollback.
Table PD-1 indicates that during calendar year 1999, the
Departments of Taxation and Education together reimbursed
local governments a total of $928.5 million, including $757.9
million for the 10 percent rollback, $63.7 million for the
homestead exemption (including $0.6 million for late-filers),
and $106.9 million for the 2.5 percent rollback (including
$0.2 million for late-filers). Additionally, $3.4 million was
paid by the Departments of Taxation and Education to county
auditors for administering the homestead exemption ($1.3
million) and 2.5 percent rollback ($2.1 million). (Note:
These payments are excluded from the table).

Imagine a world-class soloist who, after performing Brahms' demanding Violin Concerto, joins the orchestra's string section to play Brahms' Symphony No. 1. That is exactly what Danish violinist Nikolaj Znaider did two years ago with the
Philharmonic at
Concert Hall.
At the time, it was an intriguing display of commitment and stamina. But now his main objective is clear. On Thursday, Znaider again joins the Philharmonic but this time on the podium for his
Bowl debut as a conductor, in a program of Mozart, Brahms and Schumann.
"It was part of my education," Znaider said recently by phone from Copenhagen about his goal of becoming a conductor. "It's the best apprenticeship, to see what it's like to be an orchestra musician. What do they hear or not hear on the other side of the stage? So this empathy I had to learn from sitting there is all part of the learning process."
Concerts by the 34-year-old Znaider (rhymes with "Schneider") have earned much praise. His series of fine recordings include an award-winning disc of Prokofiev and Glazunov concertos and, most recently, a riveting Elgar concerto on
Classical with Colin Davis.
Yet is playing the violin no longer enough for Znaider? Why risk subverting a thriving solo career?
"This might sound terrible to some people," he said, "but I find it more enriching to study 'Don Giovanni,' which I'm doing next year for the first time, than it would be putting in the many hours to play, let's say, the Glazunov."
To be sure, Znaider is in good company. Other noted instrumentalists have also become conductors.
, an early influence on Znaider, started as a pianist with a major international career. So did Vladimir Ashkenazy, widely considered the finest pianist of his generation. And violinists
and Leonidas Kavakos all play and conduct.
Conductor Colin Davis, one of Znaider's mentors, said he understands the fiddler's passion to become a conductor but warns it won't be easy.
"He's got his handful of wonderful violin concertos, all that chamber music," Davis said, "but when it comes to the big orchestral pieces, the only way to do it is by being a conductor. It takes time, and so it should. Nikolaj is a great violinist who can play up there with anybody, but it's not so easy to convince other musicians that you can also conduct, because a lot of people haven't been very successful at it."
Though Davis wouldn't give names, the beloved violinist Itzhak Perlman is one example of an instrumentalist who has yet to convince many critics that he's a gifted conductor. About Perlman's rendition of Brahms' Fourth Symphony with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2008, Times critic Chris Pasles wrote: "Perlman...pushed the orchestra to unpleasant extremes. String tone regularly turned harsh. The horns produced some of the rawest, most unpleasant sounds ever heard there..."
Davis said Znaider has the energy and focus — "all the ingredients" — to become a fine conductor. "It will become clear whether he's got this gift that he hopes he has. I think he has, because of the way he thinks about what he's doing, and the way he thinks about just being alive — it's all on the right line."
As a violinist, Znaider may have an edge in making the transition to conductor. "Unlike somebody who just starts to conduct," he said, "I've been standing on the same spot, more or less, where the conductor stands and figuring out how things sound."
Pianist Jeffrey Kahane, music director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, made his conducting debut at the
Bach Festival in 1988 performing Mozart from the keyboard. But he said stepping up to the podium to do the really big pieces, such as Brahms and Mahler symphonies, was psychologically "a big adjustment."
"Can anyone do it? If you have a passion for it and a native skill," he said. "It has something to do with the ability to communicate — with the hands, through the eyes and with the body. It's possible to develop it, but it takes time, courage and a tremendous amount of determination."
Znaider has certainly showed determination, with an impressive and steadily growing conducting resume in Europe. Recently, he conducted a Schumann cycle of symphonies and concertos. Inevitably, as his conducting duties expand, his violin practice time will shrink. And if that happens, his technique will suffer.
"It's very much a worry now," Znaider said, "because I've been doing at least 50-50, conducting and playing. I do not want to stop playing. It means too much to me."
Ashkenazy, principal conductor of the Sydney Symphony and conductor laureate of the Philharmonia Orchestra, said he never thought his music making would "go to orchestral conducting." In the '70s, he was still playing 80 to 90 concerts a year as a pianist and "maybe five or 10" on the podium. Now, although he still records solo piano works, he seldom plays in public.
"I thought conducting was a very enjoyable sideline," Ashkenazy said. "Now I conduct all year round. I almost don't play [publicly] at all."
As a soloist, Ashkenazy recalls learning from other great conductors, such as Solti and Haitink. "I liked to see how they communicated with an orchestra," he said, "but in the end you have to do it yourself. Stand in front of an orchestra and make your stupid movements, and learn by making mistakes, trying this and that and everything."
For now, Znaider is committed to "getting the mileage" as a conductor and realizes it will "take some careful planning not to lose my level as a violinist." But, he admits, "I will probably not be learning as much new repertoire."
Davis, for one, is confident that Znaider can balance both roles. "Nikolaj knows perfectly well that if you don't cultivate your instrument, you can't expect to play it to the level when you were younger," he said. "He doesn't have to conduct all the time."
On the other hand, when Davis is asked if he knows any soloist-conductors whose solo careers remained at the same high level after they achieved an international career, he said, "No, I don't. I'm sure there are some, but names don't come to mind."
Yet the lure of conducting is powerful. Znaider recalled being "terrified" the first time he took up a baton and faced a full-size professional symphony orchestra.
"There was the sense of the unknown, of delving into something you have never done," he said. "There's a Buddhist saying that one must remain a student in some area all one's life. I like that. It's not that I have nothing left to develop or learn about the violin, but the way I can improve myself as a musician and as a violinist comes as a sort of side effect of what I'm doing as a conductor. There's too much great music I have to say something about — on the podium and with the violin in hand."
