"There is this echo that I keep on hearing."The echo is a trope in the book and is used with not so subtle artistry in the film. It is one of those things that English majors like myself love to speculate over. Here is my theory:
"Oh, what of the echo?" asked Mrs Moore, paying attention to her for the first time.
"I can't get rid of it."
"I don't suppose you ever will."
Ronny had emphasized to his mother that Adela would arrive in a morbid state, yet she was being positively malicious.
"Mrs. Moore, what is this echo?"
"Don't you know?"
"No---what is it? Oh, do say! I felt you would be able to explain it . . . this will comfort me so . . ."
"If you don't know, you don't know; I can't tell you."
The echo is the gap between what our primitive selves desire and what the civilized trappings of society supply. To put this in Freudian terms, it is the gap between the id and the superego that the ego struggles over.
|In the film, Lean replaces the car accident with Miss Quested
|encountering Hindu statues of loving couples--as I
|mentioned: not so subtle.
All the difference in the world, Forster might have said, even though Mrs Moore is speaking--to a degree--for him.
|Marabar Caves, based on the Barabar Caves (inset)
Miss Quested is practical, confident, self-analytical, honest, but she lacks the basic understanding--at least at the beginning of the novel--of that crazy poet from New England, Emily Dickinson: "But never met this Fellow/Attended or alone/Without a tighter Breathing/And Zero at the Bone."
"It's like dogs," says a character in Agatha Christie, defending the atavistic reaction of her child-self; "they know death and throw back their heads and howl."
These are responses that bypass reason and go right for the amygdala. Likewise, we can hope and dream for half-acknowledged things that reality can never give us because our primitive self propels us towards them.
|The echo begins as early as Aziz and Mrs. Moore's meeting
|in the mosque.
Which means, of course, civilization. Forster is no rebel--he isn't extolling the dismantling of civilization for the sake of the primitive whine. After all, as Agatha Christie would have acknowledged, children often remember things wrong. Basing day-to-day functioning on dreams and fantasies is hardly productive, especially since these are the types of desires and fantasies that are not wholly worked out in our frontal lobes (evolutionary psychologists spend a great deal of time trying to figure out what these desires and fantasies are). Societies function due to the civilized trappings we create. Do we create them to stave off the dark--the unexplained and uncanny? To control it? To master it?
Unlike some of his contemporaries, Forster seemed to think that the point was not to rip everything down and start over or even to run out and challenge the norms. He seemed to approach the issue with a little bit of fatalism and a little bit of optimism. Achievement occurs when one finds and makes a space for oneself that one can live with.
|The letter to Miss Quested

Dressed for SuccessPosted: April 18, 2013 Filed under: misc, sauces & gravy | Tags: dijon, dressing, food, maple, recipes, salad, salad dressing, tasty dressing, vegetarian, vinaigrette 8 Comments
Your favorite grocery store probably has an entire aisle devoted to salad dressings. And while there are plenty of good ones out there, there are just as many as not so good ones. Some taste bad, and others are simply bad for you. (I know–where did this health conscious guy come from??) But you can make your own quick and tasty dressing at home, with ingredients you already have in the pantry. This is one I've been making a lot lately, and it's helping me eat more leafy greens. (There's that healthy guy again.) I like to pour it over a spring mix and toss in a small handful of walnuts.
Maple Dijon Vinaigrette
3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon of dijon mustard
1 teaspoon of maple syrup
1 tablespoon of minced shallot
1 teaspoon of minced garlic
Salt and pepper
Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, shallot and garlic in a jar and shake well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour over your favorite leafy greens and enjoy.
Super Snack ShowcasePosted: February 1, 2013 Filed under: apps & snacks, misc | Tags: appetizers, avocados, deviled eggs, food, mushrooms, party food, pretzels, recipes, shrimp, snacks, super bowl Leave a comment
Okay. I'm a bad food blogger. One of the biggest eating events of the year is happening this weekend and I have nothing new to contribute. I know, shame on me. But – I'm no stranger to the delights of appetizers and party foods. Here are some of my favorites, any of which would be perfect for your Super Bowl celebration. (Click on the photo for the recipe.)
Avocado Fries with Cilantro Lemon Dressing – these are awesome, and the dip is super tasty
Pan-fried Cajun Shrimp – the game IS in New Orleans this year
Soft Pretzels with Spicy Cheese Dip – I would eat these every day if I could
Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms – a favorite of dads everywhere
Deviled Eggs – it's not a party without them
Baby, it's En-chill-adas OutsidePosted: January 28, 2013 Filed under: misc, veggies | Tags: black beans, easy, enchiladas, food, meatless monday, Mexican, recipes, vegetarian 6 Comments
Cold weather got you down? Seriously, I don't know how anyone can be happy when the high is just 3º. Eat these super-quick (and vegetarian-friendly) enchiladas and you'll remember the warm weather lickety-split. Add some extra chipotle peppers and you'll even feel the heat.
Black Bean Enchiladas
– ½ cup of sour cream
– 3 to 4 canned chipotle peppers in Adobe sauce, minced
– 1 15oz can of black beans, rinsed & drained
– ½ of a jalapeno, diced
– 1 cup of frozen corn, thawed
– 4 medium-sized flour tortillas
– 1 cup of chipotle salsa
– ½ cup of shredded Pepper Jack cheese
– Cooking spray
In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and chipotle peppers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes so the flavors can meld.
Heat your oven to 350º.
Put half of the black beans in a food processor along with the diced jalapeno and process until combined but still slightly chunky. Mix together with the remaining black beans, corn and chipotle-sour cream mixture.
Spoon about ½ a cup of the mixture down the center of each tortilla and then roll up. Place seam-side down in a baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray. Top with the salsa and then the shredded cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. Let cool slightly and eat.
Sloppy SecondsPosted: August 7, 2012 Filed under: misc, veggies | Tags: food, leftovers, recipes, sloppy joe, summer food, vegetarian 7 Comments
Cleaning out the fridge is never fun. Have you ever reached into your crisper for a cucumber only to discover that said cucumber is now a mushy green blob? True story. So to prevent more mushy vegetables and uneaten leftovers, I decided to give the fridge a proper cleaning and find out just what was in there. What I found, aside from 4 different kinds of mustard, were a lot of ingredients I could turn into a quick, tasty dinner. Those bell peppers with no purpose? Sure. That unused half of a zucchini? Why not? Some leftover marinara sauce? You bet. Supplement with a nice can of black beans and some hearty condiments and you've got yourself a sloppy yet overwhelmingly satisfying supper. Seriously, have plenty of napkins handy.
Veggie Sloppy Joes
– ½ of a large white onion, diced
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 jalapeno, diced
– 1 green bell pepper, diced
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– ½ of a medium zucchini, diced
– 1 15.5 oz can of black beans, rinsed & drained
– ½ cup of marinara sauce
– ¼ cup of barbecue sauce
– 1 ½ tablespoons of tomato paste
– 1 tablespoon of coarse mustard
– 1 tablespoon of ketchup
– Cracked red pepper
– 1 ear of grilled or boiled corn, kernels removed
– Jalapeno hot sauce
– Salt and pepper
– Olive oil
– 4 Kaiser rolls or large hamburger buns
In a large skillet, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bell peppers and zucchini, season to taste with salt and pepper, and sauté until soft, about 7 minutes. Add the black beans, marinara sauce, barbecue sauce, tomato paste, mustard, a ¼ cup of water and a tablespoon of ketchup for good measure, and stir to combine. Season to taste with cracked red pepper. Simmer about 10 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the corn kernels, a few dashes of jalapeno hot sauce and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. If it's not as saucy as you'd like, add more barbecue sauce or ketchup. Spoon into your favorite rolls and eat.
What's cool is that you can literally add any leftover vegetables to this mixture. Mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, ground beef – wait, skip that one. How do you use your leftover ingredients? What have you found hidden in the dark parts of your fridge?
Yee Haw! Montana RoundupPosted: July 11, 2012 Filed under: meat, misc | Tags: beer, bison, food, travel, Yellowstone 6 Comments
Hey folks! If you're wondering why I haven't posted in a week and a half, you obviously didn't read my last post. (Ha, just kidding.) But if you did, then you know I went to Montana for a friend's wedding, followed by a few days in Yellowstone National Park. It was an amazing trip with truly unbelievable sights. If you've never been to that part of the country, book a trip. Now. And remember to pack your camera and your appetite. Here's a small sampling of some of the food and scenery I experienced. (I say some because I didn't have my camera with me at every meal, so a few things like the smoked bison & elk jalapeno cheddar bratwurst didn't get photographed. But believe me, I'm going to remember them fondly. Along with the Arby's roast beef sandwich I ate on the road. But that's another story.)
One afternoon we rode horses through this spectacular valley in northern Yellowstone. It was literally my second time on a horse — and the first time I was a small kid and just sat there. So it was kind of a big deal. My horse was named Senior, and he even had a small mustache. (Ole!) After the ride, they treated us to a genuine Cowboy Cookout, complete with grilled steak, potato salad, cole slaw, a corn medley, awesome corn bread muffins and incredible ranch-style beans. I loved that it was served on an aluminum plate. It got me nice and full for the horseback ride back to the corrals.
Since my friends & I had never been to Yellowstone, we figured some organized tours would be the best way to get a good look at the park, and we were right. One of the tours took us around the entire park in a day, giving us a glimpse at all the major sights, including Old Faithful. We scarfed down a quick lunch so we made sure we were ready to see the geyser erupt. But even a fast meal deserves a little pick-me-up, so along with a pre-made ham & cheese croissant sandwich, I sipped on Old Faithful Ale, a golden beer that was crisp and flavorful and very drinkable. There are a ton of great beers brewed in that area — my favorite was Bent Nail IPA.
That's a pretty spectacular sight, right? So to celebrate, we got ice cream. Huckleberry is a flavor found all over those parts so simply I had to try the Old Faithful Inn's huckleberry ice cream. It was sweet and tart and a beautiful lavender color.
Our last night in Montana, we stayed in Bozeman, a kinda quaint, kinda hip college town. At the suggestion of our newly married friends, we had dinner (and many beers) at Montana Ale Works.
Rather than eat another bison burger (I already had 3 that week), I went for the Montana meatloaf, which was also made with bison along with beef & pork, and the whole thing was wrapped in bacon. (I know, right??) It was served with incredibly soft mashed potatoes and caramelized onion gravy. I also got a side of their baked beans, which had giant bits of pork in it. I swear, if the TSA laws allowed it, I would have carried on a vat of those beans. Smoky and saucy and porky … my mouth is watering just thinking about them.
Okay, so the photo above isn't food-related, but this sign made us all laugh. There's no thin crust pizza in Yellowstone, but there's a lot of thin crust — that is, areas of the earth where the ground is so thin that you could fall through. So watch where you step.
This one's also not food-related (at least I hope he didn't get turned into a burger) but this big guy wandered around our cabins the entire time we were there. We named him Norm. He seemed friendly enough, at least from a difference. I'll miss him.
Lastly, a big CONGRATS to my friends Chris & Melissa! Thanks for inviting us all to such a beautiful place to watch you guys get hitched. It was touching and fun and amazing and so incredibly special. So maybe we can all celebrate your first anniversary under a Big Sky too? Ehh? Whaddya say???

Research Topics
Genetic Characterization and Biology of Plague from Multiple Foci
Principal Investigator: David M Wagner
Abstract: [unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Disease transmission patterns across different spatial landscapes can be reconstructed using molecular genetic variation to characterize pathogen population structure. Yersinia pestis, causative agent of plague, has impacted humans for thousands of years as it spread locally and globally in major pandemic episodes. As is the case with any recently emerged pathogen, molecular variation for characterizing population structure is rare, which makes population analysis difficult or of poor resolution. We have discovered and developed hypervariable VNTR loci that can be used to determine Y. pestis population structure at multiple spatial scales. We will apply this high-resolution genetic typing system to multiple Y. pestis populations in the western United States and use the resulting information to better understand the biology of this human health threat, model organism, and potential bioterrorism agent. We will genetically characterize the Y. pestis population that was linked to the highly-publicized human cases that were diagnosed in New York City in 2002 and will determine the specific biological components associated with that disease event. In addition, we will genetically characterize multiple epizootic Y. pestis populations from the southwestern United States, including populations on Navajo Nation. Our investigation of multiple plague outbreaks on Navajo Nation and surrounding areas will provide important scientific data that can be used to develop models to predict plague activity in this region, directly addressing one of the objective of NIAID's research program to acquire knowledge that will eventually lead to the prevention of this infectious disease in humans. The results of this study will improve our nation's ability to respond to acts of bioterrorism involving plague by 1) validating the actual assay that would be used to investigate such an attack, 2) populating the genetic database that would be used to pinpoint the source of the strain used in such an attack, and 3) increasing our understanding of VNTR mutation rates that would be used to link the strain to its source. The results of our research will be relevant to public health in several different ways. This widespread effect is due to the fact that plague is 1) a continuing human health threat in some regions of the United States that disproportionately affects Native Americans, 2) a model disease system that can provide insights into more common infectious diseases and future emergent disease threats, and 3) a potential agent of bioterrorism.

Fears Subside And Safety Is Ensured With A Gps Child Locator

Click Here To Know More About:
Fears Subside and Safety is Ensured with a GPS Child Locator
Cheris Darina
A parent s top priority is the safety of one s children however, there are times when it is not possible to remain informed of a child s whereabouts, especially as that child grows older and more independent. Some parents elect to keep tabs on their children by providing them cell phones. However, others choose to be more vigilant when it comes to their children s safety and elect to use GPS child tracking services to monitor their location.
These services allow parents to track their children in real time with the use of a GPS child locator device that can be easily placed in a child s backpack, clipped to a belt or shirt, or it can be hidden in the car of a teenager. With nearly 2,185 children reported missing every day, it is important to reduce the risk of harm by using a device that allows parents to follow their children throughout the day without the need to be physically present. GPS child tracking services provide the sense of relief a parent only has when their children are in their arms. The location of the child is picked up in the device by GPS satellites that then reflect the signal to the device of the parent s choosing typically a mobile phone or a home computer. Parents can view the child s location either when they themselves are on the go or when they are expecting the child home at a certain time.
In addition to real time tracking, these devices allow parents to set up boundaries marking different locations the child typically frequents. A parent can create virtual boundaries in the tracker, such as home, school, or a best friend s house. The device will alert its owner when the child enters or leaves the areas that were previously set up. Parents will be knowledgeable of the time it takes for the child to get from one point to another, so it will be helpful in determining when to expect the child and when too much time has passed.
One of the only companies that offers real time tracking in an affordable device is ChildTrack24-7. This company has the smallest GPS child locator device available on the market and includes an account with the GPS company Garmin to easily track the movements of the designated children. Learn more about the benefits of this device and help calm those fears by visiting www.childtrack247.com.

Cassia woke up with vomit in her mouth. She opened her eyes and saw unfamiliar furniture. She was on her side. She lifted her head and it stuck to the pillow. She used her arm to disengage it from her face. Thanks, Morta, she thought.
Cassia sat up and surveyed the room. Whoever occupied this space wasn't rich. The furniture was threadbare, as was the carpet. She looked down at the T-shirt she was wearing. It was full of holes and ragged on the edges. She lifted it over her head and threw it into the corner.
As she made her way to the bathroom, she checked the drawers in the dresser. She found a bra and panties that looked fairly new. She took them into the bathroom and turned on the shower. As she scrutinized the unfamiliar face in the bathroom mirror, she sighed.
"Just once, Morta, you could find me a body that took care of itself," she said.
The face wasn't old, but it had dark circles under the eyes and a chalklike appearance. The long hair was an unnatural shade of blond, and she could see redness under the nose, indicating some sort of drug had been snorted frequently. Cassia washed out her mouth and brushed her teeth and tongue. She reached for the mouthwash and took it straight from the bottle.
"Another round of detox," Cassia said, as she looked in the mirror. She would have to call her doctor, a woman well acquainted with Cassia's situation, although she hadn't seen her with the same face twice.
Cassia stepped into the shower. She washed her hair and scrubbed the rest of her body. She could feel the familiar craving in the pit of her stomach. This body would need drugs soon, or it would begin to get sick.
She towel-dried her hair and put on the underwear. She routed through the closet looking for something that didn't scream "whore." She settled for another hole-filled T-shirt and ratty jeans. Then she picked up the cellphone on the dresser and dialed her doctor.
Cassia looked around the small, studio apartment as she chatted with her doctor's receptionist. She was told to go to the nearest hospital and have the attending doctor call them so they could make the arrangements.
When Cassia got off the phone, she looked through the handbag hung over the dining room chair. She found a wallet with two dollars in it and a driver's license. She wasn't sure if the license was valid or not. The name on it read "Meghan Spencer." There were car keys, too. The keys had an electronic lock, so she should be able to find the car by clicking on it.
Cassia took one last look around the apartment before she left. She searched in the drawers to see if she could find any more money. She found an empty bottle of Oxycodone, a pipe and a spoon, but no money.
She looked for a jewelry box but couldn't find one. Lastly, she looked for something she could pawn. The girl had nothing. If this girl was turning tricks for drug money, Cassia would need a test for STDs.
Cassia didn't know where she was or what the temperature might be, so she picked up the jacket hung over the chair. The driver's license said Baltimore. She hoped she could find a hospital close by.
When she opened the door, the smell of urine almost knocked her over. She quickly walked out, barely closing the door behind her. The steps were wooden and old, and she was really beginning to feel sick. She walked as fast as she could, but she didn't make it all the way down without upchucking over the bannister.
There was a parking lot across the street. Cassia pushed the button on her key and heard a beep. She followed the sound to a very old Mercury Grand Marquis. Cassia opened the door.
This girl, Meghan, had been a real slob. The car was filled with old fast food containers and soda cups. Cassia swept them out of the car with her arm and sat down. She turned the key and saw that the car had some gas, but no GPS. She pulled out of the parking lot and into traffic.
Cassia perused the area for a big blue sign with an "H" on it. Three blocks down, she found one. She followed it to the Sisters of Mercy Hospital and parked.
Cassia was shaking and sweating now. She walked into the ER waiting room and was told to take a seat. By the time they called her name, she was unable to respond. When they were able to revive her in the ER, she gave them the name of her doctor, and was then whisked away to a private room on one of the upper floors.
Cassia was given medication to ease her detox symptoms, and within a few days she was feeling better and asked to be released. Her doctor telephoned her attending physician, and the papers were signed that day.
A limousine met Cassia as they rolled her out of the hospital in a wheelchair. She had to wear the same jeans and T-shirt she'd worn to the ER. As she got into the limo, she smiled at Manuel. He smiled back.
"Home?" he asked.
"Home," she replied.

We follow the old Pilgrims Way to the ancient walled city of Canterbury, a place of pilgrimmage for many centuries. Visit the magnificent cathedral, the scene of the bloody murder of Thomas Beckett in 1170 and the home of English christianity. There's also time to explore the labyrinth of medieval streets, quaint shops and historic taverns.
Afterwards we take the grassy lanes through the orchards, hop fields and oast houses of the Garden of England.Visit Chilham, the prettiest village in Kent, and Pluckley, the most haunted village in England and the setting of the popular comedy "The Darling Buds of May"
Leeds Castle
And finally to Leeds Castle, beautifully positioned on two small islands in the middle of a lake. Over 1000 years old, this spectacular castle has been a royal residence for six of England's medieval queens and a palace oh Henry VIII. The castle is richly furnished and is set in beautifully landscaped gardens.
We spend over 2 hours here to allow plenty of time to explore the castle and the grounds - including the Culpepper country flower and herb garden, maze and underground grotto and Aviary with its collection of more than 100 rare species of birds.

Get your son involved with the process and show him the options and ideas and then you can both create the final look together. Not only will you be creating home décor but you will be working on the relationship that will be strengthened for life. Take him back in time with dinosaurs surrounding his room with their ferocious looks.
Carpet squares are a great choice for completing your basement bedroom ideas because they are easy to install and come complete with padding and a moisture barrier. To properly install carpet squares, you need to first measure the area carefully. You want to determine the layout of the carpet panels ahead of time so you avoid having small slivers of carpeting at the ends of the room. To cut carpet panels to size, use a utility knife and cut through all layers of the square. Be sure to butt the panels close to each other and prevent fibers from getting trapped between squares. When finished, vacuum the floor to help remove the lines between carpet panels and, voila!, your basement bedroom is finished.

Rediscovering one of
the most beloved bands of the college rock era – and its frontman.
With the recent release of Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy (Shout! Factory),
the opportunity to unearth and revisit the beauty of erstwhile Miracle Legion
frontman Mark Mulcahy's back catalog should prove irresistible to
discriminating music fans. It's one of those rare tribute records that, for the
most part, gets things right (these things are never perfect of course), by
highlighting an oftentimes under-the-radar artist's oeuvre via an engaging cast of characters – in this instance, folks
like Thom Yorke, Michael Stipe, the National, Unbelievable Truth, Pere Ubu,
Mercury Rev, the Autumn Defense and others – while delivering the genuine,
truth-in-titling, songwriting goods. Raise your hand if you remember all those
early Imaginary Records tributes; the Mulcahy trib meets that high standard,
one rarely met anymore in a market glutted by endless and pointless Dylan,
Beatles, Hendrix, Stones, Led Zep, Ramones, Marley and other lowest common
denominator superstar tribs.
And whether or not you're drawn to the project via fond
memories of Mulcahy's '80s/'90s tenure with college rock faves Miracle Legion,
or an appreciation for his post-ML solo career (which includes his work, under
the name Polaris, scoring music for the Adventures
of Pete & Pete kid's TV show), or simply as a fan of one or more of the
musicians contributing to Ciao, I'd
wager a couple of paychecks that you'll find plenty of keepers nestled among
the tracklisting. The Yorke tune, a riveting electro-tinged take on ML's "All
For the Best," has gotten a fair amount of attention already, not the least of
which was for the provocative David Lynch-styled video created for it by director
Melinda Tupling. But don't let that be your sole objet du download as you peruse the iTunes store – buy the whole album
(and, in fact, note that there's a deluxe digital edition that adds a whopping
20 additional tracks to the original CD's 21).
There's a good reason for the consumer suggestion, by the
way: the album is a benefit for Mulcahy's twin daughters, as his wife died
suddenly last fall, leaving Mulcahy to raise them on his own. In one sense,
then, a cloud, inevitably, hangs over the tribute, and reading his remembrances
of Melissa in the liner notes will still break your heart and make hug your
nearest loved one all the harder. But the music serves to let the sunlight peek
through, one song at a time, in the process peeling back the layers of the
songwriter's persona.
I was fortunate enough to meet Mulcahy over 20 years ago, not
long after the release of the first Miracle Legion album. Each time thereafter,
when the band came to town, I'd hang out with Mark and guitarist Ray Neal, and
I always found each of them to be just the right blend of muso eccentric and
down to earth rocker. Many years later, in the fall of 2003, I wound up
revisiting my Miracle Legion memories in a retrospective I wrote for Magnet (issue #61) about college rock bands,
and the entire, exhaustive interview with Mulcahy additionally appeared on the
magazine's website as the musician's observations and anecdotes were rich in
detail, not only about his band and his career but also about the pre-alternative
rock milieu that spawned ML. In the years since the original interview,
Mulcahy's issued a number of recordings, notably 2005's In Pursuit of Your Happiness, which wound up on my year-end best-of
list for '05. Readers can view a complete discography at the artist's Mezzotint
label website.
So by way of flashback, and to do my bit to add whatever
momentum I can to Ciao My Shining Star,
I present my Mark Mulcahy story (no longer archived at Magnet) once again. Ciao.
Rewind to 2003… The
story of Miracle Legion is both typical of and at times strikingly different
from that of other college rock bands who operated as peers during the mid/late
'80s and early '90s. For one thing, when they signed a significant label deal
in 1992, most of their contemporaries had already fallen by the wayside and
Morgan Creek Records (a wannabe "major label" indie funded by the Morgan Creek
Productions film and media company) was intent on marketing the band in such a
way as to capitalize on the burgeoning "alternative rock" explosion.
Well, everyone knows what came next; instead of bands like
Miracle Legion becoming the next wave, it would be your Candleboxes and your
Matchbox 20s. But we're getting ahead of ourselves now, aren't we?
Going all the way back, let's dispense from the outset one
lingering myth about Miracle Legion: that the New Haven, Conn.,
quartet, extant from 1983-96, was just another jangly R.E.M. clone.
Admittedly, a cursory scan of the group's early trajectory
might bear the assertion out. Both 1984's The Backyard EP and 1987's Surprise
Surprise Surprise LP did at times tilt in a folk-rock, Murmurish
direction; critics and coeds alike tended to ruminate at length upon the band's
soft-focus, enigmatic lyrics; and vocalist Mark Mulcahy's eccentric stage
personal definitely compared to that of Michael Stipe.
But this is no children of the kudzu tale. Let the record
show, based on the recorded evidence, that Miracle Legion's sound was wide
ranging indeed: chiming/jangly pop, sure, but also Velvets-style punk/drone
raveups, dark, British-flecked psychedelia, even left-field forays into dub,
funk and alt-country. (And a Miracle Legion concert was the only place you'd
get back-to-back covers of Mission Of Burma's "Academy Fight Song" and Pink
Floyd's "Wish You Were Here," too.) And as you'll read below, Mulcahy points
out that, "We may have ended up being like R.E.M.'s 'little brother,' but we
really more influenced by the Gun Club, Mission Of Burma, Husker Du, even The
Miracle Legion's initial stirrings were as a two-piece –
drummer-turned-singer Mulcahy plus guitarist/keyboardist Ray Neal – on the
thriving New Haven
scene which boasted numerous clubs as well as a readymade college audience
thanks to the presence of several major universities. The two had already
shared quality time in various short-lived combos, additionally working
together as local club promoters and picking up a firsthand education in Indie
Touring 101 that would prove invaluable to their fledgling combo.
After rounding up a rhythm section and recording the
six-song The Backyard, issued on the local Incas label, Mulcahy and Neal
were pleasantly surprised to learn Miracle Legion was an immediate critical and
college radio fave. Several pressings of the EP sold out; a sharp-witted
manager landed Miracle Legion a licensing deal with Britain's Making Waves
label, which brought them over for a UK tour; they signed (in the States) with
the well-connected Venture Booking company; and MTV unexpectedly placed the
video for "The Backyard" into regular rotation.
According to Christopher Arnott, a long-time Miracle Legion
fan and a staffer at the New Haven Advocate weekly, "In terms of influence,
they weren't the most commercial band but they were clearly part of a bigger
regional-national thing, more so than anyone else in town. It was the kind of
success story that everybody could relate to. Mark had also been booking the
best club in town, The Grotto, and he'd been active in bringing a lot of good
bands to New Haven.
Also, when a band like, for example, R.E.M. would be in town at the coliseum,
he'd book Miracle Legion and someone like Peter Buck would drop in after the
show. So Mark was friends with a lot of bands, either from having toured with
them or from bringing them to town."
As the band commenced recording Surprise Surprise
Surprise a number of labels, including several majors, began showing
interest. Ultimately, Miracle Legion signed with Rough Trade, whose owner,
Geoff Travis, had attended a show in New
York at CBGBs to see them
"I went along to CBGBs specifically to see Miracle Legion
and loved them," says Travis now. "I always feel like a fan when I see
something special, and I'm always on the lookout for soul and originality. The
Backyard EP had found its way into the Rough Trade record shop [in London], and I just loved
the tone of Mark's voice, its pleading and moving quality without a hint of
being contrived. That plus Ray's 'illogical' guitar swirls that wrapped the
whole thing up in an unusual way – a blustery, lovely wind blowing along the
highway, looking back from whence it came. I'm always on the lookout for soul
and originality, and never really know where anything will end up. I just try
to concentrate on helping a band do something decent, in terms of the work.
Even though they were so far away from us [in England] and it was hard to spend
much time with them, we had some good times and we had fun on the road for awhile,
I remember."
After Surprise hit the stores in the fall of '87, a
national tour, both as club headliners and as openers for Aztec Camera and Pere
Ubu, was undertaken by Miracle Legion. Audiences were awed as much by the music
– equal parts yearning pop and hellbent rock – as by the striking Mulcahy-Neal
visual contrast, the former a long-haired, tartan jumpsuit-clad shaman with a
piercing stare, the latter a brush-cropped fretboard virtuoso pinwheeling about
like a dervish. As the Advocate's Arnott recalls of the band's
compelling performances (which included as elaborate a stage lighting setup as
an indie budget would allow), "Mark always did work those theatrical elements
out. Not necessarily very carefully, but a lot of shows I went to he thought of
different things to do for each one. Like, at one show he brought on a poet
that they had wandering around in the crowd. There was this performance artist
in town and Mark had him passing out poems in the audience at one show. So
stuff like that would happen. Or they'd have an interesting stage set-up –
always some element of the unexpected at their shows."
Next came a spring '88 tour opening for the Sugarcubes,
Mulcahy and Neal doing it as a two-piece following the abrupt departure of
their bassist and drummer. Enjoying the artistic challenge of working once
again as a duo, the two decided to record their next album that way. Me
& Mr. Ray, recorded at Prince's Paisley Park Studios and released by
Rough Trade in '89, broke significantly from earlier patterns, adopting an
acoustic-flavored and less-enigmatic/more light-hearted tone. To this day
Mulcahy claims it's his favorite Miracle Legion album.
Ready to resume touring as a full band, Mulcahy and Neal enlisted
a new rhythm section, Scott "Spot" Boutier on drums and Dave McCaffrey on bass,
both from Rhode Island
band What Now. The '91 collapse of Rough Trade's American operations
practically put the band back at square one, however, and tied up all the
recordings in bankruptcy court as physical assets. This also led, a year or so
later, to the painfully ludicrous scenario of Mulcahy and Neal arriving at the Rough Trade auction to find
their new label, Morgan Creek, bidding against them for ownership of their
master tapes.
As suggested above, Morgan Creek
was essentially a vanity project of the then-flush film company Morgan Creek
Productions. Despite the label throwing oodles of money at the wall to see if
any of its bands (including Mary's Danish and Eleven) would stick, though, it
failed miserably. Arnott observes that while "Miracle Legion was their big
deal, their top priority, it was a real horror story in the end. There may have
been a lot of sour grapes at the time about how Morgan Creek
had done nothing to promote the record, but I don't think that was true. You
could see really good ads in big publications, like in Rolling Stone you'd see a nice color ad. So somebody was working on
a big campaign. There was a video and it got on 120 Minutes. Somebody was working on it so it wasn't like somebody
dropped the ball. It was just bad timing, really; things were changing by then.
With Nirvana making Sub Pop into a player and then everyone wanting to have an
indie label with street credibility, that's what Morgan Creek was – someone
trying to invent, with a lot of money, something 'indie' that acted like a
major label in all the worst, horrible, band-destroying ways."
Drenched, produced by John Porter of Smiths/Roxy
Music fame, was released in '92 but failed to register at radio or retail, and
with their hitless record label itself gradually finding itself being downsized
by its parent company, Miracle Legion saw the writing on the wall and asked to
be released from their contract. A year-and-half of legal limbo ensued, the
band continuing to tour on its own and even starting to record its next album,
the prophetically-titled Portrait Of A Damaged Family, eventually to be
released on the Mezzotint Label, which Mulcahy established himself.
Mulcahy doesn't dwell on negative recollections regarding
the Morgan Creek affair, pointing out that the
label clearly elevated the band's profile at the time. He does, however,
express lingering regrets regarding Drenched, suggesting that demos cut
with Paul Q. Kolderie at Fort Apache studios in Boston were far stronger than the
Porter-produced material. And he still smarts from the knowledge that the Rough
Trade masters are to this day squirreled away in some Hollywood
vault, with someone at Morgan Creek Productions holding the key. All of the
pre-Drenched records are long out of print, although Drenched itself can be easily found at eBay on the cheap.
Mulcahy also scoffs at common wisdom which holds that Seattle and Grunge blew
his and other pop bands of the era out of the water, suggesting that's as much
a myth as the R.E.M. clone theory. By that point the members of the band,
having taken a severe morale hit, had shifting priorities and new interests.
Neal, for his part, had gotten married and simply wasn't that keen on touring
anymore. (After working on a low-key basis with New Haven's
Jellyshirts and New York's Lucas Shine, he
moved his family to Scotland;
attempts to reach him for this article failed.) Boutier and McCaffery, during
downtime, had taken second job as Frank Black's rhythm section; to this day
they remain devout, dedicated Catholics.
And Mulcahy, who'd moved from New Haven to Springfield,
Mass., in the early '90s, having found rewarding work scoring the music for the
critically-acclaimed 1993-95 Nickelodeon series The Adventures Of Pete And
Pete (Mulcahy, Boutier and McCaffery portrayed the band "Polaris" in the
opening credits), was ready to embark upon a solo career. His Mezzotint imprint
issued the Fathering CD in '97 – the album became a surprise hit in England
– as well as 2001's Smilesunset. Now in 2003 he's currently working on a
third solo record as well as a surreal rock musical, The Slugbearers Of
Kayrol Island, a collaboration with artist Ben Katchor.
Talking to Mulcahy for the better portion of two hours, it's
clear he's proud of his legacy even while he's eager to continue moving forward
with his solo career. You'll get all that and more from the interview that
follows, but it's worth relating here a brief anecdote from Mulcahy that helps
put a nice positive spin on matters.
"I did Miracle Legion for such a long time and it was the
only thing I really knew, but then I got sort of got a second chance," Mulcahy
summarized, adding, "Dave and Scott have
a really good job now, and I think Ray, having started a family, is happy doing
that, too." At that he paused, then recalled the last time he saw his old friend
and songwriting partner (while on a solo tour of the UK), a hint of nostalgia creeping
into his voice.
"It was early last year in Edinburgh – Ray lives there now. We sorta
practiced a little bit in the dressing room. I did my set first, then I said,
'Okay, I'm gonna do some songs with my old buddy.' I was actually gonna play
guitar too, but then I said to myself, 'Man, I'm just gonna soak this dude up
for this five or six songs!' Because I'd watched him on some level [in the
past] but had never really watched him, you know? And it was just so
entertaining to watch Ray fall right back into it after all this time!
Honest to God."

in-depth Q&A with Mark Mulcahy.

Aside from getting enraged at Solidworks 2008, I've been looking into the heritage of the supercar. Back in the 50's and 60's, i'm not sure the term' Supercar' actually existed- rather they were sports cars or touring cars. The car that started the whole Supercar phenomenon was not a Ferrari, an Aston, a Jag, or even a Porsche- In my opinion it was the much-maligned Lamborghini Countach.
I love the radical nature of this car. Everything is over-the-top and it suits the market it was built for; rich businessmen and women with a fetish for speed. The futuristic styling comes courtesy of Marcello Gandini of the famous Bertone design studio, a man who- at the time of designing the Countach- was rather inexperienced in practical car design and cared very little for ergonomics or practicality.
That's exactly what makes this car so good. With those immense tires, fire-breathing engine, cramped interior and radically futuristic styling, it is probably one of the most impractical cars one could own. Still, like Hammond is quick to point out on a 2003 episode of Top Gear, "This was the car that every little kid had a poster of on their wall".
I didn't have a poster, but i did have the obligatory Micro Machine and Matchbox car representations of the Countach- and I knew when I looked at it, even as a child, that this car was almost otherworldy in its appearance. The dramatic use of angles and that classic 'wedge' shape that has become so synonymous with the Lamborghini brand were almost unheard of at the time of the car's release. People were excited by this dramatic automotive statement and even today it remains an icon in the field of automotive design.
The $120'000 AUD price tag was a bit discouraging though.

Best for Running
Nike Zoom Fly ($150)
Race shoes can't be training shoes. Or so we thought. The Zoom Fly—a speed-addicted trainer born out of Nike's attempt to break the two-hour-marathon mark—was both the most exciting shoe of the year and the most fun. With its carbon-infused nylon plate running from heel to toe, the Zoom Fly is the stiffest trainer we've ever seen, period. But that isn't a bad thing. We immediately noticed the powerful, propulsive forward spring, lightning-quick turnover, and snappy feel, despite the relatively thick cushioning of the 33-millimeter stack height. It feels like a highly caffeinated ride—an easy grab for fast long-distance training sessions and a no-brainer race-day pick for middle-of-the-packers, who won't mind the extra foam. The only downside (if you can call it that): you may find yourself running PRs on recovery days. Wide feet? Mind the narrow, streamlined fit. 8.8 oz (men's) / 6.5 oz (women's); 10 mm drop.
ASICS RoadHawk FF ($100)
The Test: If it weren't for a little bit of road slap, we would have had nothing but compliments for the RoadHawk, a new, impressively light, amply cushioned trainer with a socklike fit. The stretchy mesh in the toe box feels open and accommodating, but the slimmer last and midfoot overlays give it a secure and responsive locked-down feel. With its eight-ounce weight and springy FlyteFoam midsole, the RoadHawk can hammer out fartleks and tempo sessions while providing a soft landing—comfort without a sluggish feel. That crisp clap in the toe with every stride was not a deal breaker, but it was definitely a distraction.
Hoka One One Clifton 4 ($130)
The Clifton got a significant update in its fourth generation. It is still a mega-fat shoe built for easy cruising, but with a more durable midsole, a completely revamped upper now built with reduced overlays and engineered mesh, and a wider, slow-cinching fit that got a thumbs-up from our team. The rockered outsole throws heel strikers into the back seat, but the characteristically low weight allows for a good clip. The new midsole felt radically different as the seasons changed—almost too firm and energetic on crisp mornings, but breadloafy on warmer afternoons. A few testers sniped at the still too narrow toe box.

First Anniversary of Dôce18
By Jade Arroyo
On April 27, Dôce 18 Concept House celebrated its first anniversary with an exclusive cocktail party where friends and relatives, along with all the companies involved, celebrated the success of this project. More than 250 special guests, friends, and family gathered to spend a special evening together. The surprise of the evening was the artistic undertaking by the Mexican muralist, Esteban Fuentes de María, who was responsible for painting the wall of The Kitchen to mark the occasion. A large wall was chosen as a blank canvas, and the Mexican muralist worked on it for more than four days, including during the cocktail party. He put the last touches on the mural while all the guests were present. De María has made birds his visual obsession, and he created an image of a flock of birds that was not only artistic, but also creative, illustrating his love of birds.
During the anniversary celebrations that weekend there were other activities, such as a raffle for which all the money that was raised was donated to San Miguel de Allende's Red Cross. The winners of the raffle were awarded a two-night stay at L'Otel, a photograph by the resident artist Pepe Soho, and two baskets of products sold in the boutiques. In addition, there was a display of the new collection from the renowned Mexican designer, Carla Fernández.

Home air filters
Air filters are devices that filter the air from materials such as dust, bacteria, pollen, contaminants, dander, chemical fumes, etc. They are used for various purposes and in places like cars, air conditioners and aircrafts. Home air filters purifies the air inside the home and keeps it free from germs and dust.
Reasons To Get A Home Air Filter
The air we breathe in is by no means pure. This not only includes the air outside but also what exists inside the homes and offices. In fact, there is research that shows that most often the internal air is more polluted than the external air. Agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency state that it is a good thing to have home air filters fitted to keep the air fresh and safer. In fact, they even give advice to people regarding what kind of purifier to invest in for their homes and offices. Residential air filters have the following advantages:
* The source of pollution inside the home is dust, moulds, smoke and fumes from chemical products (for example ammonia vapors from bleach). Air filters filter the air and keep these pollutants at bay. There is no way to completely free the air from all pollutants, but this clears the air up to 90 percent, which is extremely good and makes it safer to breathe.
* It helps reduce allergies and other health problems such as asthma by constantly keeping the air pure. In fact, many doctors recommend parents of kids who are prone to asthma or who have some illness like heart disease to put air purifiers in their homes so that there is little or no chance for infections. Families with old people living in their homes as well as old age homes also put in the air purifiers to maintain a pollution free environment, as they are more susceptible to infections. There are home air filters that filter the air every hour and others every few hours. This can be determined depending on the need of the people living in the home.
* Nowadays, air purifiers are made to be very quiet; unlike earlier times when they were extremely noisy. Therefore, no one would know they are running in the house. Their filtration system has also become more advanced and gives better quality purification of the air.
* Since the filters in the purifiers are easy to replace, the maintenance of these residential air filters can be done very easily. This keeps them working properly and filtering the air more thoroughly.
Before purchasing home air purifiers, it is always better to check the extent of purification promised by the machine as well as whether the purifier is big enough for the room it aims to purify. Both these factors affect its performance and are very important for the air purifier to do an effective job.
There are several brands of home air filters available on the market these days. Purolator filters are highly reputed and trustable among the filter products available. They have HVAC filters, home and garden filters, commercial furnace filters among their products.

You will now begin to merge SAIC-Products and Cyc-Products by using the tools that Chimaera provides.
In Name Resolution mode, your display should be showing Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction and Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction-in-Cyc-Products-10. We are going to merge Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction and Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction-in-Cyc-Products. Select "Merge classes" from the "Class" menu.
The display now shows the merged class Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction and the superclasses connecting it to the root of the KB. Notice that Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction is no longer a root of the KB as it was in the previous view. However, the merged class Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction is placed at every other place in the ontology where either Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction or Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction-in-Cyc-Products previously existed.
Now, let's see how Chimaera dealt with the subclasses of the merged classes. The red triangle icon next to "Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction" indicates that Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction has subclasses that are currently not displayed. Click the red triangle as shown below.
The subclasses of Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction are now displayed. Notice that the subclasses of the merged Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction originally came from both SAIC-Products and Cyc-Products. Chimaera simply takes the direct subclasses of both Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction and Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction-in-Cyc-Products and adds them as direct subclasses of the merged Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction.
At this point, as you look at the view of the merged class and its subclasses, you may be thinking that it is a good idea to merge the two Biological-Weapons, the two Chemical-Weapons, and the two Nuclear-Weapons. You're right! But you are going to complete that task in another section of this tutorial.
You are done with the merging of Weapon-of-Mass-Destruction. Click the trash icon to persistently delete this agenda item in Name Resolution mode.
In the next section, you will learn how to make one class the subclass of another class.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — As the School Reform Commission voted on new charter schools Tuesday night, the state Supreme Court dealt the district a major blow.
The SRC approved three of 12 applications for new charter schools: Esperanza Elementary in Hunting Park, Russell Byers Academy in Center City, and KIPP in Strawberry Mansion.
"That's what we're really most excited about — the opportunity to do more good in Philadelphia, which we were just granted tonight," said KIPP CEO Marc Mannella.
But during the meeting the state Supreme Court ruled that the SRC did not have the authority under state law to suspend the school code — an action the Commission has used to cap charter enrollment and cancel seniority provisions of the teachers contract. Commissioner Bill Green says it's unclear, what's next.
"This kind of pulls the rug out from many of the policies that we've taken to try to improve quality education for children in Philadelphia," said Green.
The court ruling came in a case involving West Philadelphia Achievement Charter School, which has challenged the District's authority to cap its enrollment.
The ruling could have a wide-ranging impact on many of the SRC's actions in which it claimed special powers granted by the state takeover law.
Green says the ruling could mean a reshuffling of teachers by seniority in the middle of this school year.

Reduce Delinquencies
One of the biggest problems that a community faces is members who do not make their payments. Nobody wants to live in a neighborhood that is not properly maintained or has to raise dues just because some of the members are not doing their part. HMS has partnered with Sperlonga Data & Analytics to offer an OPTIONAL credit reporting service for Associations. With credit reporting, your Association's dues will be viewed with the same importance as credit card payments, mortgages, and car payments.
Lowering the delinquency rates does more for the Association than just increasing the money available to spend on landscaping and pressure washing. Members that voluntarily pay their dues so that they avoid a credit score penalty are also preventing the Association from having to pursue expensive collection options. Credit reporting can be a very cost-effective alternative for getting accounts up to date.
Credit reporting is not just about punishing your delinquent members and recovering the Association's funds; members who keep their accounts up to date will have their good behavior reported as well. Your members who are already paying their dues on time will get a monthly positive addition to their credit score. Members looking to refinance their home payments will also see a benefit when their bank looks into how many delinquent accounts the Association has.

"Education in Primorsky region: Growth points"
Topic: Advanced educational technologies of teachers of Primorsky region.
The challenge of modern times forces us to respond to it by modernization of school education.
Within the framework of the federal program of the development of education for the 2016-2020 years, new goals have been developed for the Russian educational system. At present, according to the federal state educational standards, schools have the right to form their own academic programme. Even parents can participate in this process.
The state educational standard exists from Soviet Union times. Teachers, whose working experience is amounted in decades, have already experienced several educational reforms.
Nadezhda Zadvornaya, a teacher of physics and mathematics in Vladivostok # 72 school.
"For 40 years of work as a teacher of mathematics, I have to completely rebuild the teaching method for the third time. I started to work on September 1, 1976, we taught children the content of the subject. We explained the theorem, explained the formulas, taught children to calculate. Then it was necessary to cardinally change the system. Just teaching children was not enough. In the beginning of the 90s it was necessary to reorganize, a new concept of education was adopted and teachers no longer taught the subject, but taught children to be able to acquire knowledge of the subject on their own. The main aspect was that teacher should teach the child to get knowledge by using tables and graphs, must teach them how to read graphics and get information. And now even this is not enough. Now we do not teach children the subject and do not teach them any skills, but form their brain, their ability to think".
You have to think through each stage of the lesson, so that children themselves can come to conclusion. Now teachers don't even point out the topic of the lesson, but make children to guess it themselves.
The authoritarian style of communication between the student and the teacher comes to the past. Now the task of the teacher is to help in mastering new knowledge and to guide the educational process.
The new standard involves the implementation of both curricular and extracurricular activities.
Extracurricular activities include: excursions, educational clubs, specialized sports club, round-table conferences, competitions and so on.
Olga Kotikova, English Language Teacher of Vladivostok # 72 School
"After lunch, I hold extracurricular activity- my students study English by acting in a play. It's like a drama club and all the plays are being performed in English. This helps children to develop creative abilities, and also to overcome the language barrier, get acquainted with new words".
Teachers of all schools of Primorsky region use modern teaching methods.
Special attention is being paid to pre-school education. Main task is to ensure that the kindergarteners do not experience great difficulties when transferring to a new level of education. That is why, excursions to schools and lessons in a playing form are being organized for kindergartners.
Reform of the methodology of education is made to ensure the transition from the system of mass education to the individuate education. Now the advanced educational technologies are aimed precisely at the personal success of each of the students.

Guerilla Toss is no stranger to new-wave and art pop, but on 'Twisted Crystal', they expand their sound on all fronts with surf rock sounds, chopped up, vaporizing synths, and drum machines that make up a truly unique production. All the members bring something new to the table in each song with entertaining performances that feel fresh and exciting. In only half an hour, Guerilla Toss takes you on an adventure through space and time.
An out of this world production
One of the best aspects of the album is the production; every song on the album has many layers of synths that build a wall of sound. The synths feel like the last pieces of a puzzle that make a complex picture. 'Magic Is Easy', the album's opener, grooves with fat heavy synths paving the way for singer Kassie Carlson's voice to flow easily.
The production of 'Twisted Crystal' is so diverse and eclectic that not one song sounds like the other. 'Meteorological', the lead single from the album, uses an analog synth during the chorus that gets louder and louder as the song continues. The drum beat for this song is funky and creates a different tone than the rest of the songs. 'Hacking Machine' starts off with weird guitar leads and random synth sounds that perfectly flows into a fuzzy, satisfying build up.
A highlight on the album for me would be the song, 'Come Up with Me'. This song is not only the catchiest on the record, it also offers many fun sounds to the mix. '80s synthesizers move across the song like free spirits. The guitar solo near the end of the song makes me feel like I'm going through a transporter in space and I absolutely adore every second of it.
Tremendous performances with great passion
Producer Peter Negroponte is also the drummer for Guerilla Toss. This works as an advantage for the band. When bands self-produce their albums, they usually have a lot of creative freedom; and on this album, creativity is the highlight. Each note, sound and melody feels precisely placed to make each song what it is. The drum beats on this album are very fun, whether they are on a real drum kit or a drum machine (yes, there are both). The guitars give off a vast pallet of color with blissful leads, fuzzy passages and some fun riffs. Carlson provides intricate, yet catchy melodies that sway and groove. Not only does she sing, she speaks in some songs, as she has done with past albums. The bass guitar shines on 'Jackie's Daughter' and pairs well with the arcade-like synths. These performances make the album stand out on its own and bring a lot of color to the sound as a whole.
Truly unique
While there are many bands who make underground indie rock, few make their music with the same sound and passion that Guerilla Toss brings. This album is unlike anything the band has done is the past. Their past albums had more of a new wave feel that felt more fun and care-free. This album had an unearthly quality, setting it apart from other fantastic albums to come out this year. The best way to describe the album would be to use lyrics from 'Green Apple', the last song on the album: "Did you really see?/Do you really think that?/What do you believe?"

Twisted Crystal
'Twisted Crystal' finds Guerilla Toss at their most experimental yet also at their most interesting. They create a truly unique album where every song is worth listening to. Every song can offer something different to people who like different genres of music. Guerilla Toss leaves the listener with a sense of wonder and discovery.

Douglas H. Patton is an experienced trial lawyer whose litigation practice focuses on commercial litigation with an emphasis on plaintiff's antitrust cases. He represents clients seeking individualized relief rather than participation in class-action litigations. Most of his cases involve federal multidistrict litigation throughout the country. Douglas has represented aggrieved clients in both domestic price-fixing and international cartel actions. He has represented clients injured in their business in a wide array of industries, including: computer information systems; retail grocery products (commodity eggs and shelf-stable tuna); pharmaceuticals (brand name and generic drugs); manufactured commodities (EPDM, hydrogen peroxide, persalts, polyurethane foam, styrene butadiene rubber and polychloroprene); and waterborne shipping services (cabotage and parcel tankers).
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Douglas attended Poly Prep Country Day School and traveled west where he enrolled at Utah State University and received a B.S. in Political Science with minors in English and Philosophy. He returned home and graduated from Brooklyn Law School in 1988.
His experience in nearly thirty years of practice includes successfully trying cases in both federal and state courts on behalf of plaintiffs and defendants. He is dedicated to seeing each case through to trial. His trial experience reflects an equal commitment to trials as short as a week and more complex trials that have lasted several weeks and months. He also advises clients and trade association members in the area of antitrust compliance.

Matching Manicures - Stripes
Greetings mortals! ☺*English only*
Here I am with yet another manicure. The assignment for this week was a stripy manicure. I like stripes, but every time I try to do some manicure with stripes I end up losing my nerves. -.-
Anyway, I decided to go with this look, I'm not super satisfied, but what can I do....I'm too lazy at the moment to make another one.
Products I used:
- Eveline 8in1 as a base coat
- R.H. Victoria on all nails
- White acrylic on middle and ring finger
- Ebay striping tape (link) on middle and ring finger
- Flormar Matte M08 as a "bloody" detail
- Miss Sporty Matte top coat

This thesis explores the content of the piano lessons in terms of creativity with piano teachers in Ireland and investigates their opinions on the place of the graded examination system in the lesson. As there is rarely a set curriculum for piano teachers to follow, the piano lesson can often be dominated by examination preparation with much emphasis on notational and technical requirements while often neglecting musical and creative endeavours such as improvisation, composing, appraising and listening to music, memorising and playing by ear.
In the literature review, creativity is explored within the context of music education, general instrumental lessons, the process of composing and more specifically, within the piano lesson. It is also explored in recommendations made in the section on graded examinations.
The second part of this thesis consists of a survey of 22 piano teachers and elicits information on approaches used in the context of the piano lesson and their opinions emerging from their experience as regards creative work and the graded examination. It emerges that the majority of piano teachers working in Ireland mainly focus on preparing students for graded examinations, and feel they do so in a creative manner by incorporating imaginative and pictorial stimuli, discussing the music and encouraging aesthetic decision-making with their students. However, the survey also reveals that many of the same piano teachers often overlook the musical and creative aspects such as improvisation and composing etc. because of excessive examination preparation.
This thesis reveals that there appears to be little or no correlation between piano instruction for young children and the aims of the revised Piano School Music Curriculum. A general overview of piano teaching in Ireland and a consideration of other relevant recommendations and opinions made by piano teachers in the survey are also included.

A great ensemble piece to work on. Very funny script, "film noir" style acting, great character work, singing, secret passageways, and a murderer on the loose. One of those rare projects when, all throughout rehearsals, you never stop laughing! A memorable one with a great cast.
