Quotes from Tom: "It was a personal test to see if I had any skill as a songwriter, I just wanted to give it a try and see what happened, friends were so helpful and it just became a labor of love, and people like the songs and they like the music, so it's been great." "People ask me if my songs are personal, or documentaries or portraits, every song is its own thing, it becomes its own thing, like a child the minute it leaves you, you have to kind of follow your song and find out what it's trying to be."

text: The Dairyman FEBRUARY 2013 33 DAIRY SHED UPGRADES & ROBOTICS and they were blown away. You'll never see a cow more content than they are in here." He hoped to have the herd milking by May 1 and planned to be milking the cows 12 months of the year. The cows spend most of the year inside the barn, apart from six to eight weeks when they dry off. This was to avoid milk loss due to environmental factors, such as hot or cold weather. The climate in the shed was very kind on the cows, Mr Ulrich said. The decision to build the shed instead of a conventional dairy shed made economic sense because of the small size of the farm. "It makes this little property pay better than a [conventional] dairy farm and there are a variety of different reasons that are per- sonal," Mr Ulrich said. Typically, a conventional dairy farm in South Canterbury was 226ha, milking 779 cows. The surrounding paddocks will be used for high quality crops, including maize, lucerne and grass silage. The feed will be stored in large pits at the end of the shed. High-energy, high-protein feed will also be bought in as required. To allow ventilation, the structure has no walls. Effluent from the cows is scraped up and collected into two tanks before being spread on paddocks. It was a system that was "100 per cent controlled". Every scrap was caught, stored in a two-tank system and redistributed on to the crops as fertiliser, Mr Ulrich said. "From an environmental respect, this farm is as good as you're going to get." - Fairfax NZ 'the next level' COW HOUSE: This 97-metre building will milk 300 cows using robots when it is completed at the end of April LICENSED BUILDING PRACTITIONER www.dairybuilders.co.nz


Wipes appeal to a large and broad market and can be used for a variety of purposes from household cleaning to personal hygiene. Companies heavily advertise their "flushable" wipes, which come across as convenient and cheap. But plumbers make a lot of house calls that involve clogged toilets, backed up sewer lines, and flooded basements due to nasty clogs.
The most popular perpetrators are baby wipes and other non-dispersible paper materials, like facial tissues (make up removing wipes), household cleaning wipes, cotton balls, Q-tips, tampons, pads, dental floss, non-flushable paper towels, and other trash.
Most baby wipes and similar materials aren't designed to be flushed—"flushable" products like wipes do not readily disperse upon flushing and actually remain in a solid state while traveling through the sewer system. They may clog your pipes at home resulting in costly visits from your plumber. They may get caught in the public wastewater system, which can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to regional pumping equipment leading to higher sewer bills for us all. While many of these products might masquerade as "flushable" and "sewer friendly", don't be fooled!
A big cause of this clogging crime is that many consumers are confused about which wipes are flushable and which are not. Currently there are no manufacturing regulations or legal requirements that a product must meet in order to claim that it is "flushable" and only voluntary guidelines may be followed at the discretion of manufacturers. The lack of laws to define the "flushable" and "sewer-and-septic-safe," designation allows troublemaking materials to run amuck in our pipes.
There are only three things that should be flushed down your toilet: Pee, Poop, (toilet) Paper. Whether you call it the the loo, the john, or the porcelain throne, keep in mind that it's a toilet, not a trashcan! Use the 3 P's to protect your pipes and help you flush smart and save money!
*Tip: Keep a trashcan in your bathroom to easily dispose of non-flushable materials.

My Ship of the week ending 10/19/19 on TV goes to…
Betty Cooper and Jughead Jones on The CW's Riverdale season 4. There's just something about Bughead that makes your heart skip a beat.
While both Bughead and Varchie had some passionate and fiery moments in season 4 episode 2, Bughead takes the crown for me because they have a bond that transcends all of that, understanding what it truly means to give up everything to do what is best for your partner. Please note some spoilers are ahead if you are not up-to-date on the series.
In a lot of ways, Betty and Jughead are ahead of their time. There is a maturity and friendship to their relationship and they really make you think past the temporary moments of passion. Sure, we love seeing these swoon-worthy parts, but I really enjoy witnessing Betty and Jughead's selfless moments together even more.
They won't have an easy year ahead of them, but Betty understands Jughead's talent and potential and she reminds him that they can get through anything together, which was really inspiring and heartwarming to hear.
Betty and Jughead aren't perfect by any means. In fact, I think that both of them have kept their fair share of secrets, but season 4 is really allowing them to flourish. In a lot of ways, they have moved past their prior mistakes and now they are truly grateful for one another, understanding what really matters in the end…being together.
There doesn't need to be some epic moment between them because of all of their small moments together make them stand out that much more. They resemble a real and stable relationship and while I am worried about their future fate now that they will be separated, I have faith in these two no matter what.
Betty and Jughead are both strong characters individually and when they are together, they compliment each other so well and I love seeing them team up for mysteries.
My favorite moment of the episode was during English class when Betty pulled Jughead out in the hallway to tell him to go to Stonewall, reminding him that they are always together. Betty wants what is best for Jughead and I know that he would do the same for her.
What's next for Bughead? We'll have to wait and see, but I am anxious to find out more about Jughead's disappearance in the future. Betty is my go to girl to solve the case, so I know that she will not stop until she finds him, but I am starting to wonder more about what led them to this separate path.
Long distance relationships are never easy, but I know that Betty and Jughead will do everything in their power to stay together. The King and Queen of the Serpents deserve every bit of happiness, but I have a feeling that someone might try and get in their way. These two are stronger together, but I am not underestimating either of them and I can't wait to see what happens next!
I'm always rooting for these two and I would love to see some more screen time for both of them, especially since we know that they will really need to work at putting in some quality time together.
What are YOUR thoughts on Bughead? A dynamic duo or on the outs?
Stay tuned for a recognized Ship on TV each week!

Kelsey and Zane on Younger! There are some amazing ships on this show, but I am so in love with Kelsey and Zane and I have been rooting for them for quite a while now. Kelsey hasn't had the best luck in her previous relationships, but I felt that instant spark and chemistry when she met Zane.
His charming confidence was the perfect match for Kelsey's stubborn tenacity and these two really compliment each other, while entering into some friendly competition as well, but that's what makes their relationship scream passion!
**Please note some spoilers are ahead if you have not watched season 6, episode 9 yet. Even though it seems like Kelsey and Zane are the perfect match, they haven't really had their moment in the spotlight yet. Kelsey and Zane both care about their jobs a lot and it has often gotten in the way of their relationship, but it looks like that is finally about to change!
In season 6, episode 9, Zane is hurt when he finds out that Kelsey has been lying to him about Liza's real age and she tries to work things out with him. This leads to a real and honest conversation between them, as Zane asks Kelsey what she really thought when he told her he loved her. The obstacles appear to be out of the way for now and Kelsey tells Zane that she loves him too, which had me jumping up and down for joy!
Kelsey is such a strong woman and her past relationships consisted of men who simply did not deserve her. Either they didn't see how amazing she was or they were too busy being selfish, but she was so far out of their league. Even though Zane tries to pretend like he doesn't care, he does, and he proves that he has a softer and romantic side when it comes to his feelings for Kelsey.
Kelsey and Zane deserve a real chance at happiness and I believe in their relationship. They are beyond adorable together and I love when they go out drinking, as the walls come down and they are finally just themselves with one another. Perhaps Kelsey should leave the cooking to Zane in the future though…
What's next for Kelsey and Zane? Now that it looks like they are finally giving their relationship a chance, what does this mean for their working relationship? Zane is currently reporting to Kelsey, but this will most likely need to change if they want to avoid more scandal at Millennial, but I can't wait to see some more swoon-worthy moments for these two and I hope nothing else stands in their way because they are end game for me!
Do you love television shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Once Upon a Time, Lost, Charmed, The Vampire Diaries, and Supernatural? Do you enjoy dark fantasy, fairy-tale retellings, paranormal romance, horror, and mystery? Then you may like my book series, Dreaming of Wonderland…available on Amazon! Thank you for taking the time to check it out and I appreciate any feedback as well. I really hope you enjoy!

Diana and Enzo on Younger! Even though Liza's relationships get the most attention on the show, Diana and Enzo deserve some recognition for being one of the most adorable ships I have seen on television in a long time. From the first moment Enzo walked into Diana's life as the plumber from Staten Island, I fell in love with these two and I will continue to ship them together.
**Please note some spoilers are ahead if you have not watched season 6 episode 7 yet. Even though Diana and Enzo come from different worlds, they are willing to meet each other halfway. Diana has actually grown so much as a character because of her relationship with Enzo, as she even finds herself boarding a ferry to Staten Island and putting up with Enzo's judgmental mother, which is no easy task!
Diana has made some mistakes when it comes to Enzo, but she risks it all and throws appearances out the window when she finds out he is trapped in the sewer. Even though Enzo is covered in filth, Diana embraces him, refusing to let him go. We have witnessed so many passionate and swoon-worthy moments between these two and Diana even writes about her tale of love in the paper, revealing that she does have a softer, romantic side and reminding us that it's never too late to find that kind of epic love that some only dream about.
I really enjoyed Diana's article where she talked about truly appreciating and loving the person next to you because at the end of the day, that's the person of your dreams. He or she may not be everything you thought you wanted, but perhaps they make you a better person and help you become a greater version of yourself.
In season 6 episode 7, Diana begins to panic when she finds out that Enzo has previously had a "one year expiration date" on all of his past relationships. Only our girl Diana has nothing to worry about because she truly is one of a kind, as Enzo decides to spontaneously propose to her! Diana initially comments on the lack of ring, but decides to just go with it and enthusiastically says yes, embracing the possibility of true love.
With all of the drama surrounding Charliza, Josh, and Kelsey and Zane, it was nice to just truly appreciate a couple that is head over heels in love and I can't say enough good things about this ship. What's next for Diana and Enzo? It will be interesting to see Enzo's mother become Diana's mother-in-law, but we know that she can hold her own! Either way, this ship is timeless, passionate, and inspiring and I will continue to root for Diana and Enzo against all odds!

Kane and Abby on The 100, better known as Kabby! Kabby is such an underrated ship on The 100 and it doesn't get as much attention as Bellarke or Clexa, but there is something to be truly said about it. The love between Kabby is powerful and healing. Both Kane and Abby have lost their way so many times and yet they find something so special with one another.
**Please note MAJOR spoilers are ahead if you have not watched season 6 episode 9 yet. The journey for these two characters is truly remarkable, as they have both made so many mistakes, but yet they continue to fight to make things right. Even though Kane may have the most to make up for from his time on The Ark, he has now essentially become the moral compass of the show.
In seasons 5 and 6, Abby has been broken, but Kane has never given up on her, which explains why Abby refuses to let him go in season 6. However, I love that Kane doesn't turn a blind eye either. He does intervene and he tries to get Abby to see reason during her addiction in season 5 because he truly cares and wants what is best for her. In season 6 episode 9, Kane wakes up in his new body and has trouble adjusting and accepting this. Abby begs him to make the most of it, recognizing the potential for a second chance here, but Kane knows this is not right and he decides to bring everything full circle.
In one of the most heartbreaking moments I have witnessed yet on the show, Kane (as Henry Ian Cusick) says goodbye to Abby through the glass and tells her that he has always loved her. He essentially floats himself, hoping his sacrifice will make a difference here and he brings everything full circle by doing this. Abby has turned to drugs in the past, but will Kane's sacrifice finally get through to her? We have heard the phrase, "May We Meet Again," so many times on the show, but it truly made an impact with me in this moment.
Henry Ian Cusick has confirmed that he is leaving the show, but I can't really think of this as the end of Kabby. Their love is so inspiring and I'm hoping that Abby will carry her love for Kane with her always, which will keep his values alive. Kane has always wanted to make amends and do the right thing and he will never be forgotten.
Kabby's love is transcendent of time and it's difficult thinking about the show without it. I almost feel like I lost a part of myself along with Kane, but I have a feeling that a spark has just ignited in Abby and she's about to make Kane proud. Thank you Henry Ian Cusick for so many amazing years on the show and thank you for bringing Kabby into our lives! May we meet again. Stay tuned!

John Murphy and Emori on The 100, better known as Memori! The two outsiders on the show who somehow found their way to one another fly under the radar sometimes, but their love is real and inspiring. Please note some spoilers are ahead. There is just something so incredibly sweet about these two together. I fell in love with this ship a long time ago on the show and it continues to make me melt. Murphy has always been the bad boy, but he has the potential to be redeemed by love when he meets Emori. Emori is not without her faults either, as she has trouble trusting others and both characters were used to putting their own survival ahead of helping others in the past. However, that starts to change when they meet each other.
It seems like Emori has made more progress with her moral compass, as our favorite bad boy cannot always be trusted, but there is something magical about these two together. Even though Murphy can be a bit harsh with others, he wears his heart on his sleeve when it comes to his feelings for Emori. We've been lacking some serious screen time for these two for a while, but I was happy to see some swoon-worthy moments between them in season 6 episode 8.
Murphy gets down on one knee and asks Emori if she can love him forever. Even though Murphy is talking about siding with Josephine here and accepting immortality, I can't skip over the sweetness of this moment. Emori ultimately has to choose between staying loyal to Murphy and doing the right thing. Even though she ends up telling Bellamy about John's plan to get rid of Clarke, she still cares for him so deeply.
Later on, when Josephine stabs Murphy, Emori rushes over to his side and tells him to stay with her. Through it all, Memori continues to touch my heart and soul. Even though I was getting some vibes between Murphy and Raven for a while, I think that Memori is end game. They accept each other for who they are, faults and all.
What's next for Memori? We'll have to stay tuned to find out, but it looks like they are in a lot of trouble. They are both taken prisoner by the Primes and Murphy's injury looks pretty bad, so we will have to see if they can survive what happens next. I'm hoping so, but immortality may be out of reach for Murphy now, but perhaps he can realize that having the woman he loves with him is rewarding enough. I can't wait to see what happens next for them!

John Dorie (like the fish) and June (June Bug) on Fear the Walking Dead! I really can't say enough about these two, as their relationship gives me all the feels! In a zombie apocalypse, they are still able to give us swoon-worthy moments that just make you smile. Please note some spoilers are ahead. There is just something so incredibly sweet about these two together. I fell in love with their relationship back in season 4 and I was worried that they wouldn't get that much screen time in season 5, but episode 3 didn't disappoint, as these two headed off to the wild wild west together. I almost felt like they were on a real date, even though those pesky walkers decided to break up the party.
The reason why I love these two together so much is that their love inspires those around them as well. In season 5 episode 3, they cross paths with Dwight, who is searching for his own lost love, but John and June refuse to let him give up hope, recognizing what it feels like to keep searching for that special someone, even though it seems like it may be impossible. However, anything is possible with these two…even the impossible and that's why I adore them so much.
You know how some movies just make you cry uncontrollably when you think about how incredibly romantic they are? The Notebook comes to mind for me, which I can't watch without sobbing, but I almost feel like John Dorie and June could star in their own version of an epic love story because their love is that powerful. There is just something so enchanting and beautiful about it and I just hope that the writers on the show don't tear them apart. I honestly couldn't take it at this point because I have fallen in love with both of them and I will continue to root for them against all odds.
What's next for John Dorie and June? We'll have to stay tuned to find out, but it looks like a lot of new threats are headed their way. John Dorie is the fastest gun in the west and June can keep up as well, creating a great tag team, but Fear TWD does have a habit of splitting characters up, so I'm just really hoping that doesn't happen here. These two are already amazing characters on their own, but together they are something truly remarkable. I can't wait to see what happens next for them!

Liza and Charles on Younger, better known as Charliza or Team Charles! The chemistry between these two has been building and building for the entire series and last season, Team Charles fans everywhere got to rejoice, witnessing some sweet and steamy moments between these two. However, it looks like their relationship can finally begin to define itself now in season 6. Please note some spoilers are ahead. Charles has given up so much for Liza, but clearly she is worth it. Even though Charles has essentially sacrificed his career to choose Liza, he is finding his true identity with her, finally feeling free.
Charliza is now also out in the open, but there is still a lot of drama surrounding them. Scandal is following Charles's departure, as news of his affair is leaked and Kelsey is initially blamed and there's also the fact that Charles is still legally married. Even though things are still beyond complicated, Charles and Liza are trying to make it work and I think that goes to show that "nothing worth having comes easy." Against all odds, I root for these two, even though Liza did have a fair amount of sparks with Josh. However, with Charles, it just seems like these two connect on another level. They understand each other and their friendship is adorable.
What's next for Charliza? We'll have to stay tuned to find out, but it looks like Liza may be put in an awkward position in terms of her career when she has to choose loyalty to either Charles or Kelsey. Even though Charles has given up so much for her, is Liza ready to do the same? I'm hoping so, but I know that the road will continue to twist off unexpectedly for Charliza, but I expect them to come out even stronger than before. These two are meant to be and they deserve a real chance at happiness. I can't wait to see what happens next for these two!

Q: Doctrine/symfony : creating 2 many-to-many relations(2 intermediate tables) on the SAME two tables in my very "rare" case, i must create 2 many-to-many relations on the same tables.
I explain:
I have a two tables ; Monitor and Server having many to many rel the intermediate table will be called "Benchmark". But in the same time i have to have another intermediate table which can allow me to couple a url from a monitor to several ip's from the servers (the table is called "Url_ip")
So here is what i've done :
    Monitor:
      tableName: monitor
      actAs:
        Timestampable: ~
      columns:
        id : {type: integer(4), primary: true, autoincrement: true}
        label: {type: string(45)}
        url: {type: string(80)}
        frequency: {type: integer}
        timeout: {type: integer}
        method: {type: enum, values: [GET, POST]}
        parameters: {type: string(255)}
      relations:
        Groups:
          class: Groups
          local: monitor_id
          foreign: sf_guard_group_id
          refClass: Alert
        Server:
          class: Server
          local: monitor_id
          foreign: server_id
          refClass: Benchmark
        Server2:
          class: Server
          local: monitor_id
          foreign: server_id
          foreignAlias: Ips
          refClass: Url_ip

    Url_ip:
      actAs:
        Timestampable: ~
      columns:
        monitor_id: { type: integer(4), primary: true }
        server_id: { type: integer(4), primary: true }

          foreignAlias: IpUrls
        Server:
          foreignAlias: IpUrls

    Benchmark:
      tableName: benchmark
      actAs:
        Timestampable: ~
      columns:

        responseMessage: {type: string(45)}
      relations:
        Monitor:
          foreignAlias: ServerMonitors
        Server:
          foreignAlias: ServerMonitors

    Server:
      tableName: server
      actAs:
        TimeStampable: ~
      columns:
        id : {type: integer(4), primary: true,autoincrement: true}
        name: {type: string(255)}
        ip: {type: string(45)}
      relations:
        Monitor:
          class: Monitor
          local: server_id
          foreign: monitor_id
          refClass: Benchmark
        Monitor2:
          class: Monitor
          foreignAlias: monitors

  relations:

Actually this appears to work because doctrine can create corresponding tables.
The problem is when loading the fixures. i have this error:

HELP ---------> S.O.S

A: What does your Alert model look like? (Is that the Url_ip?)
And it's better to reference models by their key instead of their ID.
Monitor:
  monitor1:
    ....

Alert:
  alert_a:
    Monitor: monitor1
    Group: group1

Because the error you're getting now, means that your adding an Alert with a reference to a non-existing monitor. This could happen when the Alert is inserted before the Monitor. By referencing to the Monitor by key instead of id, symfony will insert the Monitor first.

A: That's it, i found a small trick!
 in fact in monitor, i did like you said : used the key !
but in the Group i processed normally, but using the sfGuard's id, and not mine !
Alert:
  alert_a:
    Monitor: monitor1
    sf_guard_group: group1

The established model of hearing health care delivery in the U.S. and much of the world is based on clinic-based audiologic and hearing needs assessment, rehabilitative counseling and education, and sensory management with the provision of amplification and other assistive devices. This model of care is associated with improvements in communication and overall domain-specific quality of life, but these services are beyond the resources of many older adults.
Center researchers, led by Carrie Nieman and Jonathan Suen, are committed to incorporating public health practices in order to develop new models for the delivery of hearing care and provide access to all older adults, as is currently done with the HEARS intervention. This research incorporates the latest advances in over-the-counter hearing technology as well as key principles in designing materials and technology that are accessible to all older adults, regardless of education, literacy level or cognitive status. This research uses best practices from audiology, otology and gerontology/geriatrics to develop interventions and programs that are not only effective but are scalable and sustainable.
With increasing understanding of the effects of age-related hearing loss on healthy aging, the goal of this research is to provide all older adults with the tools they need to age well. Much of this work is done in partnership with Mike Weikert and the Center for Social Design at the Maryland Institute College of Art.

Real Life has been played on NTS in shows including Yayo, featured first on 23 February 2018. Songs played include Face To Face.
Real Life is a Melbourne-based Australian New Wave band that had hits with its debut single, "Send Me an Angel" (1983) and with "Catch Me, I'm Falling" (1984), both of which were featured on the band's debut album Heartland (1983).
The band originally consisted of David Sterry (lead vocals/guitar), Richard Zatorski (violin/keyboard), Alan Johnson (bass) and Danny Simcic (drums). Steve Williams (keyboard) replaced Zatorski in 1986, who was then replaced by George Pappas in 1996 after a long hiatus of band activity.

How will the OGC address the shifting technological landscape, in particular the rise of mobile environments, given its work on the web. How will OGC address the needs of mobile while supporting the web?
Strategic Goal #2 of the existing OGC Vision, Mission & Goals, does reference the spatial web, but I think that the concept needs higher priority. The Web is the dominant platform of our time, and standards underpin it. Standards-based spatial data should form an essential part of that platform.
The Leadership group has not yet discussed this topic.

May 12-15 Events + Early Wknd Announcements
I hope everyone had a great weekend and a great Monday. I am in full LSAT study mode (or at least I should be) so I won't be able to attend many events until after June 8th but I will certainly tell you all about them and hopefully live vicariously through you!
Tonight you have a choice between indie rock, a tribute to The Bed In and a night of neuroscience!
First, if you missed the Heliotropes concert I told you about last week you have another chance to check them out tonight. They'll be playing at Public Assemblywith Ancient Sky and Beloved Rogue.
If the term The Bed In means something to you, you should undoubtedly be at the Gershwin Hotel tonight where Neke Carson and Michael Wiener will be presenting "Give Peace a Chance":
Book launch benefit celebrating the 40th anniversary of John and Yoko's historic Bed In. With a Give Peace a Song Cabaret. Celebrate the 40th anniversary of John and Yoko's famous Bed-in for Peace 1969 in Montreal. Get a sneak preview of the photo exhibition that will open May 26 in Liverpool. Launch Joan Athey's new book. Brooklyn-born photographer Gerry Deiter, on assignment for Life Magazine was the only photographer there the entire eight days. Special guests Guitar Legend Gary Lucas and composer Steven Lynch will be on hand to add to the proceedings plus more surprise quests. The Cabaret includes a presentation of Bed-in images, a reading from eye-witnesses to the recording of Give Peace A Chance, a special guest — writer Charles Childs (who worked with Alex Haley on Roots) presents excerpts from his unpublished interview with the couple. Climb into bed and talk peace like John and Yoko did. Local musicians rock the room with their favorite John Lennon songs. This is also a fundraiser for music writer Paul Williams. He sustained a head injury in 1995 while cycling and needs 24 hour care for the dementia that has recently manifested itself.
John & Yoko Bed In
Finally, at the Bell House tonight the Secret Science Club will be meeting to discuss recent developments in neuroscience on the topic of memory.
Dr. Arancio is a cellular neurobiologist at Columbia University's Department of Pathology and Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer's Disease and the Aging Brain. In his lab at Columbia University, neuroscientist Ottavio Arancio explores the molecular mechanisms of memory formation.
Settle down in the comfy couches and learn about the workings of your brain (or at least the cells you didn't kill with tequila last week).
On Wednesday you can satisfy all your local food/wine cravings in one place- Brooklyn Uncorked at the spectacular Brooklyn Academy of Music at 30 Lafayette Avenue in Fort Greene. This lovely event is run by the trio of Edible Publications and features wine from local wineries including:
Baiting Hollow, Bedell/Corey Creek, Bouké, Bridge Vineyards, Brooklyn Oeneology, Castello di Borghese, Channing Daughters, Clovis Point, Diliberto, Grapes of Roth, Harbes, Lieb, Long Island Merlot Alliance, Macari, Old Field, Osprey's Dominion, Palmer, Raphael, Roanoke, Sherwood House, Shinn, Sparkling Pointe, Waters Crest, Wölffer Estate
as well as food from:
Amy's Cookies, Bodum, Bridge Winery, Buttermilk Channel, DiPalo's, Fizzy Lizzy, Get Fresh, Great Performances, iCi, North Fork Potato Chips, NuNu Chocolates, Palo Santo, Plowshares Coffee, Rick's Picks, SerendipiTea, Stonehome Wine Bar, The Farm on Adderley, The Smoke Joint, Vere Chocolate, Wine Cellar Sorbets
Also on Wednesday, Wye Oak will be playing at Mercury Lounge along with the Pomegranates and Winter Gloves. Check out the video for Please Concrete:
B is a big fan of Wye Oak but he won't be able to attend because he will be spinning at Hugs. I am pleased to announce that Sunday Singles was a big hit (it was written up in Gothamist amongst other lovely blogs) and Excess Energy is bringing you Love Machine:
On Thursday there will be a reception at the Brenda Taylor Gallery for their new exhibit- the Love Armor Project. Check out their website for the history, as far as I'm concerned this picture says it all:
Also on Thursday you can check out the second Puppet Playlist- Magnetic Fields at The Tank Theater.
Puppet Playlist takes talented puppeteers and brilliant musicians and slams them together into an evening of live theater to stir the senses. Our second Playlist will feature new works of puppetry set to a litany of love songs by The Magnetic Fields. Between sets, hear new interpretations of Magnetic Fields music — on cello, accordion, guitar and more. A chance to see some of New York's most interesting puppet artists and musicians at play. Performers (and their work) have been seen all over New York and throughout the world, on, off- and off-off-Broadway, at Here Arts Center, Shakespeare in the Park, the Metropolitan Opera, FringeNYC, Lincoln Center, with Jim Henson Productions, and on both American and International TV (yes, that includes the Muppets). Featuring pieces by: Eric Wright, Melissa Creighton, Marta Mozelle MacRostie, Ithai Benjamin, Darragh Martin, Maja Rajenovich, and Mary Robinette Kowal and Jodi Eichelberger. Musical performers include: Hannah Temple, Matt Singer, Emily Hope, Anna Leuchtenberger, Jon Levin, Jo Williamson.
There are two shows but they will sell out so be sure to reserve here.
A few early weekend announcements…
Friday night, weather permitting, there will be telescope observation at the Columbia observatory. Regardless of cloudy skies there will be a lecture, The Good the Bad and the Ugly- Astronomy in the Media, by Jackie Faherty.
On Saturday I am already torn between three events (who knows what I'll do when I discover even more!). First, there's a roller derby match well worth seeing- Brooklyn Bombshells take on Manhattan Mayhem at the Hunter College Sportsplex. Check out this video from last season!
Also on Saturday Finger on the Pulse presents Louis La Roche, Justin Faust and Danger at Studio B. B is a major fan so I can guarantee this will be an awesome dance party!
Last but not least, The Wet Spots have a late show at Joe's Pub. They are described as "vaudevillian, oversexed, and weirdly Canadian: think sex club by way of Monty Python." I was deeply skeptical until I watched this video and now I'm kind of hooked:
Have a wonderful week and stay tuned for additions!

Mars expert JAMES HEAD recently spent his "holidays" in Antarctica, studying the bone-chilling landscape for clues that might help explain the mysterious Martian terrain. Dr. Head asks: Could frigid water below the surface of Mars contain evidence of life? What's the latest news from recent Mars missions such as the Mars Express and Phoenix?
Professor of Geological Sciences in the Planetary Geosciences Group at Brown University, Dr. James Head spent his early career at NASA, training Apollo astronauts and planning lunar landing sites. As a geological explorer, he has traveled around the world (and to the bottom of the ocean in deep-sea submersibles) to study volcanism and tectonism. He is the author of more than 300 scientific papers on topics ranging from gullies and glaciation on Mars to Venusian impact craters. Currently, he is a co-investigator for the European Space Agency's Mars Express Mission, the NASA MESSENGER mission to Mercury and the NASA Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3).

¡The Amazing Race, first time in Colombia!
by admin | Feb 3, 2015 | Footprint
Great news never stop, this is why we would like to share with you one of our biggest challenges yet!
We participated as local Fixer with World Race Productionsin the production of the second and third episode of the 28th season of The Amazing Race in Cartagena, a reality show by CBS Broadcasting Inc, one of the largest TV networks in the US.
The Amazing Race has received 15 Emmy awards, and has been nominated another 68 times. It is currently the show with more seasons in the history of US television, with 28 seasons and more than 300 episodes broadcasted on prime time. They are now preparing their 29th season, where teams of two compete in a race around the world for a prize of US$1 million.
This was a huge project for Cartagena and for Colombia because we showcased our country as a potential location for future productions, as well as a tourist and cultural destination. Besides the location, we showcased our human quality, and the talent and dedication of our team that worked in the logistics of this production, which made that the filming of these two episodes of the reality a total success.
We worked in more than 12 locations including Manzanillo del Mar, Volcán del Totumo, Historical Center, San Felipe de Barajas Castle, Ciracari Tejo court, Zaragocilla bus route, and key spots around the city. A true adventure!
More than 3 months' work, with a group of 460 professionals that worked nonstop to demonstrate that local production companies are in perfect capacity of producing even the most complex formats. When you work as a TEAM, everything is possible!
Lastly, we want to thank the Colombian Film Commission, Corpoturismo, Secretaría del Interior, National Police, and other official institutions of the city and department, who collaborated to conclude this great project.
Special THANKS to The Amazing Race World Race Production team for trusting Cumbia Films and for allowing themselves to be touched by the warmth and happiness of the cumbiambera family, a family you are now a part of.
5 Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Film Location

The Hagerstown Community College Board of Trustees wants about $715,000 to pay for land, fund increased operating expenses and renovate two buildings on campus over the next four budget years.
The requests were made to the Washington County Commissioners at HCC during a Tuesday joint meeting, which included a tour of a new $7 million, 58,000-square-foot Learning Resource Center.
The three-floor center, which includes a 12,000-square-foot library, is to open next spring.
* Share the $90,000 cost of buying a nine-acre property owned by Louise Beachley. The land is between houses on Robinwood Drive and 116 acres adjacent to HCC that the school bought earlier this year from Jack Young. The college bought Young's property for $1.4 million with a loan from the county.
While there is an agreement to buy the Beachley property no contract has been signed, said Trustee Merle Elliott, president of the Washington County Industrial Foundation, known as CHIEF.
* Increase by 4 percent, or $170,000, the county appropriation to the college for operating expenses for fiscal year 2001, which begins in July. The increase would pay for raises and other inflationary changes, College President Norman Shea said.
* Temporarily increase from $500,000 to $750,000 county money for capital projects in fiscal years 2003 and 2004. Board members said they wanted to give the County Commissioners advance notice of the request.
The extra money would help pay for the $2.1 million cost of renovating the academic building and $4.32 million for renovating the career programs building. The state is to pay 62.9 percent of the cost of the two projects.
Commissioner William J. Wivell asked if there would be savings if the college shared some of its administrative work with the county.
Board Chairman William Reuter said there would probably be some savings and offered to have the college explore the idea.


State President Truong Tan Sang met with leaders of the central province of Nghe An on September 7 and emphasized the need to strengthen the ongoing rural renovation program.
Leaders at the meeting held in Nghe An Province discussed the implementation of the 11th Party Congress Resolution, the socio-economic growth, national security policies, improve the quality of justice and the living conditions of ethnic minority groups in the mountainous areas of Nghe An.
President Sang said Nghe An Province played an important role during the last war. The central city of Vinh has gradually become the leading economic hub of the North Central region.
Nevertheless, people living in the remote, rural and mountainous areas are still struggling for a living. Agricultural production has been badly affected from both disease and bad weather. The province thus needs to focus on more manufacturing to move forward.
The province should create effective economic models to fight against poverty in the west of Nghe An Province and offer more support to fishermen working offshore. Apart from this, the government should encourage investments in the agricultural sector, particularly in disadvantaged areas.

←Older revision | Newer revision→
The Oxford Companion to Music defines music criticism as 'the intellectual activity of formulating judgments on the value and degree of excellence of individual works of music, or whole groups or genres'. In this sense it is a branch of musical aesthetics. With the concurrent expansion of interest in music and information media over the past century, the term has come to acquire the conventional meaning of journalistic reporting on musical performances.
1 Nature of music criticism
2.1 To end of 18th century
2.2 Age of Romanticism
Nature of music criticism
The musicologist Winton Dean has suggested that music is probably the most difficult of the arts to criticize." Unlike the plastic or literary arts, the 'language' of music does not specifically relate to human sensory experience - Dean's words, "the word 'love' is common coin in life and literature: the note C has nothing to do with breakfast or railway journeys or marital harmony." Like dramatic art, music is recreated at every performance, and criticism may therefore be directed both at the text (musical score) and the performance. More specifically, as music has a temporal dimension that requires repretition or development of its material "problems of balance, contrast, expectation and fulfilment ... are more central to music than to other arts, supported as these are by verbal or representational content." The absence of a clearly evolved or consensual musical aesthetics has also tended to make music criticism a highly subjective issue. "There is no counter-check outside the critic's own personality".
To end of 18th century
Critical references to music, (often deprecating performers or styles) can be found in early literature, including, for example, in Plato's Laws and in the writings of medieval music theorists.
According to Richard Taruskin, the active concert life of late 18th-century London meant that "the role and the function of arts criticism as we know it today were the creations of the English public." However the first magazines specifically devoted to music criticism seem to have developed in Germany, for example Georg Philipp Telemann's Der getreue Music-Meister (1728), which included publications of new compositions, and Der critische Musikus which appeared in Hamburg between 1737 and 1740. In France in the 1750s, the Querelle des Bouffons, (the dispute between supporters of French and Italian opera styles as represented by Jean-Philippe Rameau and Jean-Baptiste Lully respectively), generated essays from Jean-Jacques Rousseau and others, including Denis Diderot's Rameau's Nephew (1761). The English composer Charles Avison (1709–1770) published the first work on musical criticism in the English language - an Essay on Musical Expression published in 1752. In it, Avison claims that since the time of Palestrina and Raphael, music had improved in status whilst pictorial art had declined However he believes that George Frideric Handel is too much concerned with naturalistic imitation than with expression, and criticises the habit, in Italian operas, of
'that egregious absurdity of repeating, and finishing many songs with the first part; when it often happens, after the passions of anger and revenge have been sufficiently expressed, that reconcilement and love are the subjects of the second, and, therefore, should conclude the performance.'
Typically until the late eighteenth century music criticism centred on vocal rather than instrumental music - "vocal music ... was the apex of [the] aesthetic hierarchy. One knew what music was expressing."
Age of Romanticism
The last years of the eighteenth century reflected both a change of patronage of music from the aristocracy to the rising middle-classes and the rise of Romanticism in the arts. Both of these had consequences for the practice of music criticism; "the tone of the critic was lowered as his audience expanded: he began to approach the reader as a colleague rather than a pedagogue", and a new generation of critics began to widen their consideration to other aspects of music than its pure representative aspects, becoming increasingly interested in instrumental music. Prominent amongst these was E. T. A. Hoffmann, who wrote in 1809
That instrumental music has now risen to a level of which one probably had no inkling not long ago, and that the symphony, especially following...Haydn and Mozart, has become the ultimate form of instrumental music - the opera of instruments, as it were - all this is well-known to every music-lover.
A further impetus to the direction of music criticism was given by the changing nature of concert programming with the establishment of the European classical music canon; indeed it is at this peariod that word 'classical' is first applied to a received musical tradition. At the same time the proportion of new music to 'canonic' music in concert programming began to decline, meaning that living composers were increasingly in competition with their dead predecessors. This was particularly the case in respect of the rise of Beethoven's reputation in his last year and posthumously. This gave rise both to writings on the value of the 'canon' and also to writings by composers and their supporters defending newer music.
In 1798 the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung, edited by Friedrich Rochlitz (1769-1842) began publication in Leipzig, and this is often regarded as the precursor of a new genre of criticism aimed at a wider readership than qualified connoisseurs. In subsequent years a number of regular journals decidcated to music criticism and reviews began to appear in major European centres, including the The Harmonicon, (London 1823-33), the Musical Times (London, 1844-date), the Revue et gazette musicale de Paris (Paris 1827-1880, founded by François-Joseph Fétis), the Berliner allgemeine musikalische Zeitung founded in 1825 by A.M. Schlesinger and edited by A. B. Marx, and the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik founded in 1834 in Leipzig by Robert Schumann and Friedrich Wieck, and later edited by Franz Brendel. Other journals at this period also began to carry extensive writings on music: Hector Berlioz wrote for the Parisian Journal des débats, Heinrich Heine reported on music and literature in Paris for the Stuttgart Allgemeine Zeitung, the young Richard Wagner wrote articles for Heinrich Laube's magazine Zeitung für die elegante Welt and during his 1839-42 stay in Paris for Schlesinger's publishing house and for German newspapers. In 1835 J.W.Davison (1813–85) began his lifelong career as a music critic, for forty influential years of which he wrote for The Times.

Republicans Are Huge Hypocrites About Merrick Garland
Republicans who refuse to hold a hearing on Garland have in the past lavished praise on the judge

At 63, Merrick Garland is one of the oldest Supreme Court nominees in modern history — no one older has been nominated since FDR was in office — and many Court and political observers were surprised President Obama had nominated an old white man, given the other folks reportedly on his shortlist.
But Garland's relatively advanced age works in Obama's favor in a few ways: It means that this is likely Garland's last shot to sit on the high court; it means his time in the role would likely be shorter than typical — a fact that could affect Republicans' decision to confirm his nomination. And it means Garland has been around long enough that a number of those conservatives now opposing his nomination have had the chance to say some very nice things about him in the past. In fact, three of the 11 Republican senators sitting on the Judiciary Committee — all of whom are united in their refusal to hold a hearing on Garland — have in the past lavished praise on the judge.

On Sunday, Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah published an op-ed in Time titled "Democrats Are SCOTUS Hypocrites." In it, he complained that Democrats have unconscionably delayed judicial nominees for political purposes, but today it's Hatch who is refusing to hold a hearing for a candidate he has called eminently qualified for the job, because Democrats did it first. Who's the hypocrite now?
Orrin Hatch
In 1995, on the Senate floor: "Now I would like to state, for all of my colleagues here, that he is a very good nominee — I commend the administration for being willing to nominate Merrick Garland… I hope, since he is a good nominee — I think almost everybody would have to admit he's a good nominee — that we will vote him out next week. I understand the argument against that, there is no argument against Merrick Garland at all, and perhaps we can solve that problem in the future."
In 1997, on the Senate floor: "To my knowledge, no one, absolutely no one disputes the following: Merrick B. Garland is highly qualified to sit on the D.C. circuit. His intelligence and his scholarship cannot be questioned… I believe Mr. Garland is a fine nominee. I know him personally, I know of his integrity, I know of his legal ability, I know of his honesty, I know of his acumen, and he belongs on the court. I believe he is not only a fine nominee, but is as good as Republicans can expect from this administration. In fact, I would place him at the top of the list… Opposition to this nomination will only serve to undermine the credibility of our legitimate goal of keeping proven activists off the bench."
"This is an important nomination. I believe Merrick Garland will go on to distinction… I want to thank my colleagues who voted for Judge Merrick Garland. I believe they did what was right."
In 2010, to Reuters: "A consensus nominee… I have no doubts that Garland would get a lot of votes. And I will do my best to help him get them… He would be very well supported by all sides and the president knows that."
In 2016, to News Max: "[President Obama] could easily name Merrick Garland, who is a fine man."
In 1997, on the Senate floor: "I respect the legal ability of Mr. Garland… We are not here in any way to impugn the integrity of Mr. Garland. By all accounts, he is a fine person and an able lawyer. He does have a very good job with the U.S. Department of Justice… I would feel comfortable supporting him for another judgeship."
In 1997, on the Senate floor: "But I think it is important to say that there is not a stall, that I or other Senators could have delayed the vote on Merrick Garland for longer periods of time had we chosen to do so. We want to have a vote on it. We want to have a debate on it. We want this Senate to consider whether or not this vacancy should be filled."
Chuck Grassley
In 1997, on the Senate floor: "Mr. Garland seems to be well qualified and would probably make a good judge — in some other court."
Most of those kind words were uttered during a 1997 hearing on whether Garland should be appointed to the DC circuit court. Hatch was joined in his support for Garland that year by six other still-sitting Republican senators: Dan Coats of Indiana, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, Susan Collins of Maine, Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, John McCain of Arizona and Pat Roberts of Kansas. Collins and Grassley have said they would meet with Garland.
Legislators are not alone in making an about-face on Garland. The conservative Judicial Crisis Network, whose policy director once called the judge "the best scenario we could hope for to bring the tension and the politics in the city down a notch," has now committed $2 million in ads railing against him.
