My favourie part was on message orientated architectures. All the fundamental and sophisticated aspects are very explained. These include: the asychronous nature of message systems, the way you can cluster message ques and brokers, the hierachial naming formats in publish subscribe message topics and the different approaches to reliability (best effort, persistent and transactional). There was also some really good discussion regarding the background and importance of message brokers.
As well as technical concepts there are also some interesting sections on architectural processes, documentation and even my old favourite UML!
This book serves as a very good reminder to the importance of software architecture - especially in enterprise systems. Architectural approaches don't just need to be properly understood, they need to be compared with other approaches especially with respect to the non-functional requirements that are important to your system.

Student dancers perform a work during the Fall 2010 Student Choreography Project.
Point Park University's Conservatory of Performing Arts dance department strives to develop dance majors as complete, well-rounded artists. To put those skills into practice, each year the Conservatory Dance Company kicks off its season with the highly anticipated Student Choreography Project, a true showcase of the artistic ability of some of the Conservatory's most creative and driven students.
The concert is completely student produced. The choreographers must audition their pieces for a panel that selects the most innovative and interesting works.
This past October, 10 students were selected to participate in the concert. In addition to developing the work itself, the students hold their own auditions, rehearsals and make all of the artistic decisions related to their piece. Student Choreography Project enjoyed five near sold-out public performances in the George Rowland White performance studio in the University's dance complex earlier this month.
The students have the same responsibilities and expectations as a professional choreographer, and achieve professional results. Many of the pieces presented at the concert go on to be recognized at national festivals and awards, such as the American College Dance Festival Association.
Hear more about the Student Choreography Project experience from two of the student choreographers below and watch a clip of the performance video.

Liberals Need To Take A Stand
Conservative insiders have already let it slip, this isn't about symbolic gestures, belt tightening, this is a salvo aimed at the opposition, using the guise of crisis for political advantage. A complete affront to the rhetoric of finding common ground, moving beyond partisanship, the Conservatives have shown themselves in striking fashion. It is simply amazing, that with an economy crumbling, the Conservative braintrust can afford to put their energies into a meaningless fiscal initiative, it is quite revealing, in terms of priorities. Rather than a singular focus on serious matters, the Conservatives would rather manipulate the situation to introduce a partisan STUNT. Simply unacceptable, I agree with any sentiment that frames this debate as "war", it's a fundamental issue which can't be reconciled.
If it turns out to be a confidence measure, the Liberals have no choice, they must band together with the other parties, they MUST take a stand. I want to see a joint news conference, May included, a united front that SCREAMS. Let the Governor General sort it out, I suspect the result won't be what Harper had in mind, if it is, so be it, sometimes risk is required, political consideration secondary to a core principle, which can't be compromised.
A nation waits for a plan, and we will get games, serious action secondary to political gamesmanship. There is only one response that is satisfactory, unless the fundraising rules are changed to offset, the Liberals have no choice and the fallout will not be of their doing, the responsbility lies with craven opportunists. When confronted by a smug bully, the required response is obvious, you coil back and smack em square in the jaw.

One ploy I have noticed with regards to the CPC in QP is that when the opposition attacks, their answer is "Canadians expect us to cooperate, cant we all just get along?". They are trying to portray the opposition now as mean-spirited and uncooperative, whenever they pose a tough question. Plus, their other game is to portray the Libs as being mean-spirited when they cut the deficit in the 90's.

Newsflash: 15,000 auto workers in Ontario may be shit out of luck my January. The economy is going south faster than you can say "gimme my gold plated MP pension" and I suspect the average voter strongly supports this move by the Tories. You can engage in spin all you want (God knows the Tories are, claiming that "we must all do our part") but if this is an affront to Democracy as many claim, then I will expect Canadians, rightly concerned about the state of their democracy will be calling MP's until the fibre-optic lines melt, DEMANDING the opposition defeat the government so we can spend another $350 million on an election that nobody gives a rat's ass about.
The $30 million to political parties is important to political parties and NOT Joe and Suzy citizen. Those 15,000 auto workers would probably like to see a bailout to protect their jobs as opposed to:
a) $30 million going to political parties
b) $350 million for another election

And, if the Tories don't want another election, then simply remove or amend the irritant, so we can get down to serious issues, rather than cynically exploiting a economic crisis for partisan advantage.

If the Liberals, NDs, Bloquistes, and Greens of this country are so incensed by this 'outrage' I'm sure they'll step up to the plate and donate a toonie each every year in order to make up the shortfall to their respective parties. There's more heat than light appearing on the left horizon. I think they do protest too much!

I agree that the opposition should vote this down. But, needless to say it will look pretty bad on the Liberals that they were willing to prop up the Tories for over a year - as long as they were doing stuff that was destructive to Canada as a whole - but now they suddenly want to play hardball when its something that affects the Liberal Party.

Yes, I think people are missing the point here, a vote against doesn't mean another election. There is a very plausible scenario where the majority of MP's ask the GG to form a government, this lot of opportunists have shown themselves, nobody wants another election.
It's a minority people!

Oh Steve of little faith...
This issue isn't even registering with voters who are more concerned with, gasp, "KEEPING THEY'RE EFFING JOBS" as opposed to $30 million going to a bunch of partisan hacks who spend more time attacking each other than actually contributing to solving the problems of voters.
I am loving this, though. Go ahead, bring the government down. We're going into deficit anyway, what's another $350 million and political instability at a time of economic crisis anyway.
If the liberals are so concerned about funding, how about changing those ARCANE rules that allow the party to choose its leaders. Why not get into the 21st century and do "one member, one vote."
Very simply, Canadians don't give a damn about the plight of politicians in this country. God knows, they've got problems enough of their own.
In closing, Liberals MUST know they are being played here, right? Harper is drumming up opposition outrage to drown out any concerns about the prospect of Canada going into a deficit.
Dalton went $500 million into deficit and simultaneously announced a ban on cellphone use while driving... this is all about deflection and distraction. That Liberals are falling for it is freaking laughable.

"Haha, attack on democracy. Political parties funding themselves through voluntary donations: tyranny!!!"
When this is done without notice, in a manner that will cut the legs out from under all the opposition parties, then yes, it is an attack on democracy.
Not that I think Harper will go through with it. He just wants to be able to point his finger at the opposition, say "ha ha" while he continues to take in his taxpayer funded democracy.
Unless, of course, he is willing to put his money where his mouth is and voluntarily give up his subsidy when the measure is voted down.

- Scott Tribe said...
The opposition parties should now be openly musing to the press that the G.G can ask other parties in the House to try and form a government rather then waste another 300 million $ on another unnecessary election a month and a half after the last unnecessary election fuelled by Harper's determination to get a majority before the economic meltdown hit.
Such open talk of this scenario may get him to back off (and it certainly is a strong possibility of happening as well).

Well put as usual Steve. I agree completely that the Liberals should take a stand. Harper reminds me of Fagin in Oliver Twist, I call him Stevie one-note because all he can do is obsess about the Liberals while the country and the planet go down the tubes.

You're from Ontario Steve. I don't remember reading such outrage when the McG Liberals changed the parliamentary hours, stifled debates, time allocated controversial bills, engaged in overtly partisan debates on the economy, reduced salaries for opposition researchers while bolstering their own etc etc etc etc.
"we're not talking about Ontario" you will say. I say you should be because it shows that anti-democratic bullying is nothing new and not a conservative phenom. Sad but true.
But oh wait, nobody gives a shit about Ontario politics despite the $100 billion they control.
Dalton and Harper = peas in a pod.

Principled Steve is back. Welcome!
Scott T: Bingo. That "open musing" about options for an alternative government should have started immediately post-election. But if your guys needed this attack on public election financing as a spark, okay. Just no more turtling from here on, k?

Also interesting - Harper and his wife Loreen have become quite close friends with GG (even though Harper didn't like it when she was appointed). I think it was Jane Taber (don't hold me to that) that said that Loreen and GG do nature walks together and stuff.
Do you not see a pattern with Harper? He befriended Charest when he needed him, that was two-faced and befriended Dumont, etc., etc.
Do you think GG would go against Harper's wishes?

- Mark Francis said...
The Conservative party is the largest beneficiary of the political tax credit, which sees donations to political parties reimbursed at least 50% using public money. I don't see Flaherty suggesting that that huge subsidy be revoked. Far from being hit the hardest, the Conservative Party will be the best situated party if this change goes through.
Furthermore, campaign expenses at the riding level are also routinely reimbursed for the larger parties with public money.
If the Conservatives really were that concerned about our money, they wouldn't have wasted $300 million on a useless election.

I don't think it is a stretch to suggest that this is democracy itself on trial. The LPC needs to put their internecine squabbles aside and call Harper's bluff on this one.
One question I have: since the LPC leadership race is between essentially two candidates, why can't caucus just decide and save more wasted time and money,not to mention dissention?
- 3:25 PM, November 27, 2008
- CuzBen said...
Although I agree this move is underhanded, unfair, undemocratic etc (though not uncommon and agree with Cynic, not isolated) let me play devil's advocate for a sec and reveal a possible silver lining:
If the numbers I just saw are correct, the LPC relies on public financing for 67% of its revenue. That's insane. This move will force the Party to change, NOW. Meanwhile, you can more or less sit back and watch the uncontrollable economy take its toll on this unprepared and horribly underqualified government, nailing them on each mistake as they happen. In the end, you will have remade your party's fundraising structure and will face a Conservative party that is bruised and battered, leading you to a breezy election win sometime in late 2010 or so, just around the time when the economy will be picking up. Then as you take the reigns of power, the slowly rising economy is credited to your sober leadership which lasts far into the 21st century. Eh?

I just saw a NDP MP and Liberal MP openly discussing a coalition government as a possibility. The NDP seem eager, the Liberal "were not quite there yet", but "it's happened before". VERY interesting days ahead.
If it was phased in, then I'd agree it could be a good thing. That said, fundraising is already a critical discussion within the party, so it's not like Harper's gambit is a wakeup call.

I'm still a bit skeptical about EA offerings these days, but gotta give em credit for putting out a title that I'm still losing hours to so long after release. (And gotta give 'em a kick in the nerts for immediately discontinuing said title.)
Latest Coach Trav career began in Miami. I wanted to start at the bottom, and the 1-15 'fins seemed a good place to start. I got a wild hair and wanted to see if I could sneak in a custom playbook built around the Wing-T. My thinking was ball control + Defense, Defense, Defense. Base sets are Wing-T, Near, 2-back Gun. Very heavy reliance on the run, play action, misdirection. In short, a whole lot of suck until I can completely rebuild the roster and teach it to everyone. REAL friendly to the careers of FBs and TEs.
On defense, I put together a 335 Mustang hybrid with a handful of nickel package zone blitzes.
In Miami, this was a dismal failure. "You have to remember this was a 1-15 team last year... 1-15," I said.
"You're fired," they said.
So, looking over my options, I landed in Baltimore. What they had in place seemed to be friendlier to my philosophies, at least on the defensive side of the ball. Having Rex Ryan in charge of my defense was sure to make it look good, at least.
We went 0-4 in preseason, as I played around with Troy Smith and another speedy rookie under center. Horrifically bad offense. Before the season, the owner encouraged me to name as the starter.... Brian Brohm. Huh.
It is now week four, and we are sitting at 1-2, and much better than our record. Both loses on the road, by three points, and one in overtime. The defense is certainly nasty, but the personnel doesn't fit the offense. Three great WRs, a solid balanced QB...and decimation of injury among my FBs and TEs. We're 29th in the league in rushing with our power run game.
I traded Todd Heap to the Seahawks, even though he is a great TE... Too injury-prone for how I was using him. Instead I have George Wrightster dropping passes for me. Heath Evans is starting at FB.
At the moment it looks like our defense will keep us in most games. We lost 20-17 to Pitt at Heinz, so I'm encouraged. The defense is pretty vicious -- Lewis, Tommie Harris, Reed, McAlister, 1st round monster DE, Ngata, Ghoulston, Steltz. I wouldn't want to play against our D. Our offense has managed 110 rushing yards in 3 games.
Next year's draft is about the offense.
I dig this game.

The Tri-Cities, for the most part, are and always have been quiet retreats tucked away from the major crimes that often plague larger cities. Sure, the area has had its share of sordid misdeeds and higher-level offenses. And with the Fox River and the city of Chicago close by, it's not surprising that some of the pettier vices that often plague larger cities – gambling, prostitution, theft, alcohol and drugs – crept their way in.
Vice, which is defined by Merriam-Webster's Dictionary as both "bad or immoral behavior or habits" and "a minor bad habit," seems to imply just that when it comes to crimes. Vice can be a seedy gamble, a raucous saloon or something seemingly even more minor, such as a person swimming nude during the daytime in the Fox River. Those are all vices that police had to deal with historically in the Tri-Cities. Some they still deal with today.
While alcohol is one of the more well-documented vices in Tri-Cities history, other vices included, prostitution, gambling and vagrancy.
A book called "General and Special Ordinances – City of St. Charles" published in 1926 outlines the laws that were in place back then. Most are typical ordinances that still are on the books. It was illegal to gamble back then – "no dealing, playing or engaging in faro, roulette, cards, dice or any ... game of chance," the book states. Those who broke the rules faced a $10 to $50 penalty. It also was illegal to drive a horse and buggy too fast, and racing in the streets also was prohibited back then. A ticket for breaking that law cost the offender $3 to $5.
Brothels also were prohibited in St. Charles in the 1920s. "Any and every such place of ill fame or prostitution is hereby declared to be a nuisance, and each and every day of its continuation shall be deemed a separate offense under this section," the book states. Someone involved with a brothel could be fined between $25 and $200. Lewd books and plays also were prohibited, costing offenders fines of $5 to $50.
In addition, gambling was somewhat prevalent in the area decades ago. The Kane County Chronicle's sister paper, the Geneva Republican, in 1920 reported that a St. Charles man bet on a Geneva-St. Charles football game and was said to have "put a mortgage on his furniture for $600 and bet the whole amount on St. Charles." The paper went on to say a group of gamblers bet a total of $4,000 on that game.
One of the more famous historical accounts in the Geneva History Center's records involved Jack Johnson, the first African American to win the world heavyweight boxing championship. He was held in the Kane County Jail in Geneva from July 28, 1920, through Sept. 18, 1920, after being accused of violating the Mann Act of 1910 for "transporting white women across state lines for prostitution," according to information provided by the Geneva History Center.
It also was illegal to be a vagrant in St. Charles in 1926. The ordinance book defines a vagrant as "any person able to work and support himself in any honest, reputable calling and not having any visible means to maintain himself, who shall be found loitering or strolling about in said city or is begging ... or who shall lead an idle, immoral or profligate life."
Alcohol was – and arguably still is – a vice that cities have grappled with, as evidenced by accounts in historical publications dating back to the late 1800s. By the 1920s and 1930s, prohibition had touched Geneva, St. Charles and Batavia, and police were breaking up illegal stills and shuttering local taverns.
"The Patrol," a prohibitionist newspaper circulated in Geneva, often published anti-alcohol opinions in the late 1800s. One account in 1885 says: "The night is just when we want the town quiet and orderly. Yet, if we have saloons, our nights will be the worst part of our existence. The bums of St. Charles and Batavia are at work during the day – some of them – but at night, they will be free to come here and literally raise hell. Do we not boast of our quiet 'residence' town? How will it be then?"
The newspaper then petitions readers to consider voting "no" to licensing saloons in Geneva.
"Can a man of standing incur the disgrace of siding with the saloon?" it asks.
Some articles, such as one published in the Geneva Republican on July 27, 1878, wrote unfavorably of the outside influences of St. Charles and Batavia. The article reports that "a gang of St. Charles beer guzzlers" overtook a horse-drawn wagon from a man who had generously offered to give them a ride home. One "drunken beast," the paper reports, knocked the driver out and left him in the road.
Those types of stories continued into the early 1900s. The Geneva Republican reports that an Elburn man "got well filled on squirrel whiskey" and was found sleeping at the corner of Third and State streets in Geneva later that evening. A police officer used a wheelbarrow to take the man to the city jail, and he was assessed a $5 fine the next morning.
Of course, alcohol issues took center stage after prohibition. According to an article supplied by the St. Charles Heritage Center, St. Charles became a dry city on the night of May 18, 1918, following an election.
"The people of St. Charles have spoken," the article states. "In 1880, St. Charles went dry, but in the next election, it went wet. Wastefulness of grain, sorely needed to feed the allies, was enough to dry any town that was not pro-German. Dundee and Aurora will be late coming into the dry columns, as they have large numbers of German residents."
The election resulted in 10 St. Charles taverns closing, including that of Louis Schelstreet, great-grandfather of current St. Charles Fire Chief Joe Schelstreet.
Joe Schelstreet said his great-grandfather had immigrated to the United States from Belgium in 1890, then later moved from the Moline area to St. Charles. He said his great-grandfather worked for a local malleable company and then realized everyone was leaving that industry to open taverns.
"It was much, much different than what you would expect a tavern to be today," he said. "He operated that [tavern] until prohibition. ... He had no interest in going back into the business."
In 1920, a woman was charged with "peddling hooch" in a baby carriage in Geneva, according to the Geneva Republican. Her frequent trips to St. Charles aroused suspicion and caused her arrest. The woman told police that her husband had left her, and she was selling three to four gallons of alcohol a week to make ends meet.
In 1931, sheriff's deputies raided 12 "farm houses and numerous beer and liquor flats" in the Geneva area and ended up smashing thousands of bottles of liquor and wrecking alcohol-making equipment.
In 1953, Geneva police ticketed what they thought were the first minors to purchase alcohol at a bar. Before an ordinance change in 1947, police only ticketed bartenders for serving underaged patrons. In 1953, a 17- and an 18-year-old were served alcohol at John's Tap without proof of age and were subsequently fined $50 each, while the bartender was fined $200, plus costs.
"This is believed to be the first case in Kane County where minors have been fined for purchasing drinks in a tavern," states a Geneva Republican article from Feb. 12, 1953. "Police hope that this case will serve as a warning, but promise speedy action if any similar cases are brought to their attention."
Glenn McConnaughay, who joined the Geneva Police Department in 1949 and served 12 years as chief until his retirement in 1972, would have been on the force by the time the first drinking ticket was issued to a minor.
McConnaughay, 92, now lives in Batavia and doesn't have the best memory of his policing days anymore. He said vices, such as drugs, prostitution and drinking problems, didn't surface much. Many of his accounts reference burglaries and physical altercations because vice just wasn't as prevalent.
Technology, in part, has changed vices and the way people commit crimes today. Chris Winter, curator at the Batavia Depot Museum, said the computer age has opened up more opportunities to commit crime that couldn't be committed 100 years ago.
"You are not always face-to-face with the perpetrator, and these criminals can be very difficult to track down," she wrote. "If someone wanted to get away with a crime in the 1800s, they had been have a fast horse or be able to run like the wind."
The Kane County Chronicle is taking a closer look at what vice looked like in Kane County, then and now. This is part two of a two-part series.

Do What You Love
by David Rawles
Have you discovered your purpose? Are you employed, doing what you really love? If so, you are among the very fortunate! A recent Gallop poll revealed that only 30% of workers surveyed are regularly engaged or inspired by their jobs. People want to be inspired. They want to work toward a higher purpose and feel good about themselves.
We all know someone that follows their passion and is daily driven towards success. Here is a short list of those I know personally as well as some names you will recognize.
- My friend Bob -- Had a good profession in HR and decided to study law. He passed bar exam and works in private law practice. How wonderful to talk with a man that perfected his craft, using all of his gifts. He has a great propensity to serve, listen, research and ferret out important details -- he is a brilliant attorney.
- Pat Riddle -- Pat decided to change her path at 49 to follow her dream of journalism. She went back to school for about 5-1/2 years, during which she interned with the Ft. Worth Star Telegram. At 55, Pat was hired to write column and happily fulfilled that passion into her 80's.
- Walt Disney -- wanted good, clean family entertainment. He won 22 Academy Awards during his lifetime, and was the founder of theme parks Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
- Mary Kay Ash -- created Mary Kay Cosmetics to allow women to advance by helping others succeed. She advocated "praising people to success" and expressed insistence that the women in her company keep their lives in good balance.
- Yogi Berra -- Only one of his brothers that received father's blessing to play professional baseball. Yogi was a 15-time All Star, winning the MVP three times. He holds numerous World Series records and hit the first pinch hit home run in World Series history in 1947. Yogi was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972. When he came to a "fork in the road," he took it.
A man or a woman with a passion is worth 100 people with a passing interest. If you find work that you really love, you will be successful. What a wonderful legacy to show that God takes care of you! When we choose a career using the things God gives us -- skills, gifts, passions, interests, values -- we will most likely end up doing what we love. We will perform better, earn a better living, and please our boss more. We will be more confident, more employable, and able to help others better. When you can find a job that you can say you want to do more than anything else in the world you will experience love. God is love.
I hope and pray you find what you love and achieve your dreams.

Wilkens is a jump-server with a float serve. But it's difficult to pick up, BUY FAMVIR NO PRESCRIPTION. It moves, buying FAMVIR online over the counter, FAMVIR duration, it sinks and it keeps opponents off balance.

FAMVIR description, Three other players on the team — Mikaela Foecke (82), Meggie Meyer (76) and Kristen Brinck (60) all have shown a penchant to give the team points off their serve.

The Crusaders lead all classes in the state in team serving percentage (96.2) and aces (431). The numbers are unheard of, BUY FAMVIR NO PRESCRIPTION. One-quarter of the Crusaders' points this season have come from aces.
"In previous years, we're usually about 93 or 94 percent as a team," Freesmeier said. "This is definitely the best serving team we've had. It's pretty awesome because you don't know where the ball is going to go."
Each of the servers in the Crusaders' rotation has a different style, Wilkens said. BUY FAMVIR NO PRESCRIPTION, But, they rarely miss.
"I think we always try to keep it aggressive," she said. "Aces are big because they can bring you out of a rut sometimes. I think Coach Freesmeier does a good job of mixing it up as far as where we serve it. She notices the people who are struggling and tells us where to nail it."

"We all just kind of pick on each other when we serve," Wilkens said. "But it doesn't get tiring. BUY FAMVIR NO PRESCRIPTION, I think the excitement of going back there takes my mind off it. A lot of practice goes into it. We don't want to waste any points against anyone."
When the team splits and serves against the other portion, there are repercussions for the side that does the worst, Freesmeier said. Though not a lot of time in practice is devoted to simply serving, there is enough to keep the players on their toes.
"They hold each other accountable," Freesmeier said. "The losers have to do something. But serving is something the girls have continued to try to master. They don't let up.".

"Most of what I know about myself, I have learned from playing Schumann."
This brief sentence contains an entire world in which music, emotion, and the selves of performer and composer coincide. The words were written by Jonathan Biss, 32, who in addition to being a superb pianist is also an eloquent and insightful music writer. Last fall he published a Kindle Single called "A Pianist Under the Influence," a meditation not just on Schumann's magnificently elusive music but on the uncanny pull it has exerted on Biss.
The essay is one part of Biss's season-long project called "Schumann: Under the Influence," dedicated to exploring the music that turned Robert Schumann (1810-56) into the composer that he was and the influence he has exerted on composers who followed, from then to the present day. The project encompasses a series of concerts, including two at Jordan Hall. The first is Friday, when Biss plays Schumann's "Fantasiestücke" and "Davidsbündlertänze" alongside music of Janacek and Berg. Biss returns in April with the Elias String Quartet, with whom he recently recorded the Schumann and Dvorak piano quintets.
This is no dry exercise in historical scrutiny. For Biss, playing Schumann has always provided a guide to realms of the soul that are otherwise inaccessible.
"With so much of the other great music that's important to me, I am in awe," Biss says in a phone interview from his New York home. "There's no question that I hear pretty much everything that Beethoven wrote and I have this reaction: It's not really possible that a human being could have created that."
With Schumann, though, there's a different connection established, such that the music "manages to say for me things which I know about myself but which I would never be able to articulate. It knows things about vulnerability and about what it means to be alone with yourself and about what it means to feel loved, with all its implications — which are very, very profound and very, very personal."
Personal, private, secretive — those words crop up again and again while talking about Schumann's music. "I think the privacy of the experience is really an essential part of the DNA of this music," Biss says. Again, Beethoven provides a convenient foil. "You feel with Beethoven that he wants — he needs — the world to listen to him — in as large a group as possible, probably. But I always feel that Schumann is addressing someone on a one-to-one basis."
There's almost a halting quality to some of Schumann's most important works, Biss continues, a sense that things can be said only with great difficulty. "Fluency is not one of the values of this music. There are moments in all his pieces where you have this feeling that the notes don't come easily, that they rise to the surface with great effort. And I think that's as private a form of musical expression as I can imagine."
Biss thinks that that hesitant, ambivalent tone is one reason Schumann has been subject to a certain level of condescension. It's true that even today you hear criticism: that his grasp of structure was faulty, that he couldn't orchestrate, that — perhaps most damning — he stands at the margins of music history, outside its main currents. Had Schumann never existed, this view goes, we'd miss out on some beautiful works, but the course of music history would be unchanged.
Arguing against this point is the polemical thrust of "Schumann: Under the Influence."
"I think in his own subtle and personal way, Schumann was a tremendous influence and inspiration to composers who came after, both immediately and up to the present day," Biss says. "Let's see the music that was essential to him and, more important for me, take a look at the music that comes over the space of 150 years which would not have been possible without him."
Among that music is a new piano quintet by Timothy Andres, 27, a New York-based composer (on the April Jordan Hall program). Biss said that since the other composers in his Schumann project are European, he liked the idea of a contemporary piece from an American.
The premise of the Andres piece is a hypothetical: What if Schumann had decided to write his piano quintet as a series of miniatures, rather than as the full-fledged movement he composed? Andres takes a central motif — an obscure Schumann reference — and fashions around it five short movements, played without pause. "And he's come up with something that's very beautiful and totally original, and yet has Schumann in its DNA."
One of the most poignant sections of Biss's Kindle book describes how he learned, just before recording the "Davidsbündlertänze," that a friend had taken his own life. Hearing the news, Biss sat at the piano and played through its 18 brief movements.
"The Davidsbündlertänze," he wrote, "managed to say all the things I wanted to, but could not."
Which brings up the question of how one can take this intensely private experience, art that reaches deep into the self, and share it with a roomful of people. In the face of such deep poignancy, it's worth wondering whether the concert-giving experience isn't something too public, too exposed, for this fragile art.
"It's definitely a struggle," Biss admits. "I've played this recital program now four times in a row, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that I feel shattered afterwards. It's honestly terrifying — I think one should be willing to say that.
"But then when I think about it for a little while," he goes on, "I'm vividly conscious of what an amazing thing it is, to get to share that with people. It's very, very difficult, and it does not necessarily feel healthy. But as a thing in your life that you feel that strongly for and that is so intimately bound up with who you are, and to be able to share it with people and know that some of them might have a reaction that's as strong — that's an amazing thing. It really is."David Weininger can be reached at globe

Wake up! One-man show ups the ante
"This is not a monologue— it's a 90-minute play that happens to have only one actor," Amanda McRaven says. She's talking about the new show that opens tonight in the Live Arts LAB, Wake Up and Smell the Coffee.
McRaven directs Benjamin Curns in the piece, which happens to be playwright/actor Eric Bogosian's latest take on the world as he sees it. "A director has to think completely differently in this situation, especially when the actor is very familiar with the text. Ben memorized and worked by himself for a month and then came to me," she continues.
McRaven's challenge has been to stay true to Bogosian's vision while not losing the momentum Curns had built on his own. As is true of much of Bogosian's work, this play is the kind of show that demands a "natural" tone– just a guy on stage talking to a room full of people.
"Ben has that natural quality already," McRaven says. Much of her work as a director has focused on the monologues that require Curns to develop a "character."
Curns and McRaven have worked together as actors and directors through the Staunton-based company Shenandoah Shakespeare, and he approached her with the script and the idea of producing the play in Charlottesville, quite a quest since the rights have not yet been released. Through some networking with Bogosian's agent, however, the two were luckily able to secure permission to stage the work.
Bogosian punches hard with this play; he jabs at Christianity, the capitalist work ethic, celebrity worship, and– with a pre-9/11 sensibility– terrorism. "As a director, I believe in yanking the audience out of their comfort zone. If you want to sit safely in the dark, go to the movies. Live theater has a different role to play," McRaven claims. "This play challenges us to think about things that we have been told to ignore in order to perpetuate a certain way of life. Parts of it will piss you off. Part of it pisses me off. That's why I'm directing it."
First performed in New York in 2000, Coffee is the latest in a long line of solo/monologue shows from Bogosian, the award-winning author of the plays Talk Radio and subUrbia. If you're feeling ready for the challenge, you can crank up the New Year with a slap of reality programming, theater-style.
Wake Up and Smell the Coffee plays Thursdays-Saturdays through January 18 in the Live Arts LAB Space, 609 E. Market St. 8pm. $7 at the door only. The theater opens one hour before the performance. 977-4177, ext. 108.

As a long time Furmanoid, I have NEVER ONCE heard a Paladin fan EVER blame the refs for a loss. Ever. If there is one, then he's not a Paladin. He denies the meaning of the word "Paladin".
ASU70, you sound like GK. That's a guy that reluctently admits he's wrong yet wants others to share in the blame.
Just say you're wrong. It's easy. When I find out I'm wrong I readily admit it.

and K2 Summiter Piotr Pustelnik Broad Peak
First dispatch: "A warm
welcome to everyone from Piotr Pustelnik - mBank Lotto Himalayan Triptych 2006
� in Karakorum. It�s the beginning of the third stage of our project, i.e. the
expedition to Broad Peak. At the moment all of us, as well as our porters, are
in Askole the final village before the start of the five-day trek to Base
Camp. So far everything has been going according to plan: no delays of any
sort and keeping our fingers crossed there won�t be any. Unfortunately, Don
Bowie hasn�t joined us yet and I�m slightly concerned that he may never do.
Still, we have a multilingual group of 13 here: apart from the five of us,
there�s also a group from Spain and two Italians, who have joined our climbing
permit. Tomorrow (27th of June) we will have the usual colourful procedure of
sharing the loads among the porters. I�ve seen it umpteen times yet every time
I find it just as moving; hence I�m looking forward to it this time
as well! The weather is fine, no particular problems so far. Apparently there
isn�t much snow in the mountains so I reckon we will get to Base Camp without
getting wet, which will definitely be a big bonus. Anyway, keep your fingers
crossed and we will do our best to move quickly towards the highest mountains
in Karakorum. Till my next dispatch then! From a PlusGSM satellite phone,
Piotr Pustelnik" Best regards, Wojtek Jemiolo

Himalayan Triptych 2006: In the last stage of the adventure,
Piotr Pustelnik bids farewell to the eight-thousanders. No Crown, but...
On June 20th a team led by
Piotr Pustelnik (HiMountain Team) left Okęcie airport for Pakistan. The goal of
the expedition was to climb the twelfth highest mountain in the world - Broad
Peak (8047m above sea level). This is the third stage of the climbing adventure
known as the mBank Lotto Himalayan Triptych 2006. Earlier, in April, the
mountaineers climbed Cho Oyu, and attacked Annapurna in May.
The triple expedition was organised with
the intention of enabling Piotr Pustelnik to win the Himalayan Crown (14 eight-thousanders);
only Annapurna and Broad Peak were left to be climbed. Generally known as the
�easy eight-thousander�, Cho Oyu was to be a place for acclimatising; to
minimize the time spent on dangerous Annapurna, and to climb it with one shot in
a bold, Alpine style. However, only Peter Hamor from Slovakia managed to reach
the main peak, and Piotr Pustelnik with Piotr Morawski (Marmot Team), having
trekked the eastern peak (8010 m), instead of continuing with the climb decided
to save the life of their Tibetan guide Lotse, who had lost his sight in the
After the dramatic expedition, and
during his brief stay in Poland, Piotr Pustelnik (HiMountain Team) declared his
career was over: �There will be no Crown� � he stated in an interview
with the local supplement of �Gazeta Wyborcza� in Ł�dź.
mBank Lotto Himalayan Triptych 2006
is not over yet. Piotr Pustelnik wants to climb Broad Peak: �.... I want to
bid farewell to the eight-thousanders and
Karakorum, where I started my adventure with climbing 16 years ago�
� he remarked just before leaving. What is more important is the fact that we
are not talking about collecting eight-thousanders. It�s not a matter of
conquering another peak. The mountaineers want to pave the way in Alpine style
on a new and difficult route running over the southern ridge. Just as throughout
the whole Triptych, the backbone of the team consists of Piotr Pustelnik, Piotr
Morawski, Peter Hamor and Don Bowie. In order to refresh their acclimatisation,
the climbers will first trek along the traditional route (supposedly up to a
level of around 7000m above sea level). At this stage they will be accompanied
by Kinga Baranowska (HiMountain Team) and Andrzej Rusowicz, who are determined
to climb the mountain using the traditional route.
In the end, Piotr Pustelnik has raised
the bar high and he is ending his adventure with the eight-thousanders in a
grand style. He proved this during his attack on Annapurna. The summit resisted
Piotr three times, just like Broad Peak.
Piotr is persistent....
Background: Piotr
Pustelnik is ending his career among the highest peaks of the world. Today he
leaves for his last expedition to Broad Peak (8047 m). - I�m done with
eight-thousand-meter-high mountains. It�s the end. It�s over - says Piotr
The world-famous mountaineer from Ł�dź has climbed 12
eight-thousand-meter high peaks. Only two mountains remain to be conquered in
order to win him the Himalayan Crown, i.e. all 14 peaks over 8 thousand meters
high. These are Annapurna and Broad Peak. But there will be no Crown. He
disclosed to us first that after 16 years he is finally ending his career with
the highest peaks in the world.
The decision was made during the attack on Annapurna (8091 m), which ended three
weeks ago. This was Pustelnik�s third attempt at conquering the mountain, and
the third time to no avail, though the peak was not far. - I don�t want to force
myself into the 14-mountain magic, as this mountain, which I tried to conquer
for the third time, sucked up all my climbing skills, my humanity - says Piotr
The Annapurna expedition was very dramatic. The weather was against them. Piotr
Pustelnik, together with Piotr Morawski, Peter Hamor from Slovakia and the
Tibetan climber Lotse spent a long time in their tents waiting for the weather
to improve. If this wasn�t enough, their rations ran low, and when the weather
finally did improve, all they were left with was soup in packets. Next, they had
one teabag per day, and in the end they drank only pure water. - Luckily we had
enough gas and we were able to boil it, but we had become too weak to climb to
the peak. We had to eat something, but there was nothing to be eaten - says the
The real drama lay ahead. When they started climbing the eastern peak of
Annapurna (8010 m), the Tibetan guide began to lose his sight. The experienced
mountaineers knew this was the beginning of snow conjunctivitis and which lasts
about five days, provided that the climber is brought down. Peter Hamor went
towards the peak (and conquered it), whereas the Tibetan Lotse together with
Piotr Pustelnik and Piotr Morawski started the descent. This time they took the
difficult route and secured themselves with ropes. During the descent Lotse lost
his sight completely.
The decision to retreat and give up the quest was not an easy one. - Piotr and I
told ourselves: there are two solutions: we behave humanely and stay with Lotse
until he regains his sight, or we turn away from him. The latter solution would
never allow us to look in the mirror again. We have to decide who we wanted to
be. Today, I can speak calmly of it, but those conversations were not calm in
the least - reveals Piotr Pustelnik.
Extremely exhausted, they continued the descent. Lotse regained his sight after
three days. Piotr Pustelnik entered the base camp with his mind fixed on
finishing with eight-thousand-meter high mountains.
I don�t want to trek along the eight-thousanders
"Gazeta": Are you sad?
Piotr Pustelnik: - I�m very happy to have made the decision. My capacity with
the high mountains is coming to an end. Sportsmen also come to the end of their
careers, it�s better to end it on a nice expedition rather than to get a kick in
the butt and return in shame with your tail curled up.
Why Broad Peak, then?
- I need to finish my �Himalayan Triptych� [Cho Oyu, Annapurna, Broad Peak -
ed.], that�s for sure. I want to bid the mountains farewell in Karakorum, where
I started my adventure with climbing.
What will you do now?
- I will climb smaller mountains; I will carry out other projects. I don�t want
to keep trekking the eight-thousanders, because I will lose my life to it.
You once received the Fair Play award for saving an Italian climber on K2. You
gave him intravenous injections while both of you were dangling on a line. You
brought him down with the help of Rysiek Pawłowski and you managed to get back
up to climb to the K2 peak. Now you deserve the Fair Play award again.
- Normal, humane behaviour should not be the subject of awards.
