Minneapolis: February 22 to February 23, 2018
Here are some shows taking place in the Minneapolis/St Paul area from February 22 to February 23, 2018.
Robert Plant: Carry Fire
Robert Plant apparently kiboshed a Led Zeppelin reunion guaranteeing $800 mil. from Richard Branson. 35 dates in 3 cities (London, Berlin, NJ). .…

Robert Plant, the English musician best known as the lead singer and lyricist for Led Zeppelin, will be headlining the Orpheum Theatre this Thursday. Billed as Robert Plant & The Sensational Space Shifters, they'll be playing tracks from his 11th solo album Carry Fire.
The upcoming show is long sold out (even at a higher-than-average pricing of $75 a ticket), but to justify the higher price, fans who bought a ticket online, were also given a copy of the new album.
Seth Lakeman, who contributes viola and fiddle to three tracks from Carry Fire, will open the show.

The Mowgli's Tour Poster
Next up were The Mowgli's, an indie rock/folk band from southern California. Going into the show, I had no idea what to expect. Simply put, I was blown away. From their first song, Waiting For The Dawn …
Most Proto-Punk / Garage of the evening went to New York City foursome, Mainland, who kindly filled in at somewhat the last minute for the originally-scheduled Transviolet …
+ Mainland
The last time we saw California neo-hippie band The Mowgli's, they were co-headlining with Canadian Lights in 2015. We noted, "A spirited feel-good 65min. of hummable tunes followed, many culled from their latest, Kids in Love (Photo Finish/Island Records) which was released earlier this spring. 'Love is Easy' was dedicated to anyone "who's had their heart smashed into a bazillion pieces" and co-vocalist Katie Jayne Earl took time out in the set to re-inforce the band's mission of spreading love and kindness, and mentioned that all the band's proceeds from 'Room for All of Us' were going to charity."
Be sure to show up early to check out Mainland. The post-punk/pop taco-loving trio (singer Jordan Topf, guitarist Corey Mullee and bassist Alex Pitta) recently appeared on Billboard to talk about their "Hometown" release (Feb 16). This isn't the first time Mainland opened for Mowgli's, they were previously billed together in February 2016 (their first time in Minneapolis), and we said, "… plays a quick-paced, hooky hybrid of punk, garage, new wave, and high-energy alternative. The crowd appreciated the adrenalin-boosted tempo change and clapped along with the chorus of 'Not as Cool as Me' in appreciation."

Carlos Acosta: A dance company is a great cultural showcase
Written by Yuris Nórido / CubaSí
Published in Specials
On January 3, 2020, Carlos Acosta Danza company debuted in Chile as part of the Santiago a Mil International Festival. It's the first time that the company performs in South America. The program includes "Imponderable" and "Alrededor no hay nada", by Spaniard Goyo Montero —resident choreographer of the company—; duets "Fauno" and "Mermaid", by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, duet "Soledad", by Rafael Bonachela; "Diez", by Jorge Crecis, and "La muerte de dos cisnes", recreation from Mijail Fokin's choreography.
But Carlos Acosta's presence will be the great attraction of the tour. Talking about the year that begins, the great ballet star talked with CubaSi about the troupe he directs.
—Four years after its creation, how much does Acosta Danza look like the company you dreamed of when you created it?
—It increasingly looks like it. I've always said this is a long process because a company does not toughen up its identity in a few years. But something amazing has happened with Acosta Danza because specialists say they are already noticing different things in our company. In the tour that we have just made around the United Kingdom (UK) the reception of the audience and critics was amazing, and some newspapers commented that a new way of assuming dance was springing up in Cuba and praised that. But we haven't achieved it yet. We're still working to continue developing ourselves.
—How much can we talk about a style in the company that goes beyond the poetics of the choreographers who have been involved with it?
—All the choreographers who have worked with us have done so from a forced pace: Cuba and its culture. I ask all of them to be inspired by us, our music, our stories and temperament to create their works. And very good things have come out. There's "Imponderable", by Spaniard Goyo Montero, resident choreographer in Acosta Danza who used Silvio Rodríguez's music to talk about our concerns with a spectacular scenic atmosphere.
"Pontus Lidberg's choreography "Paysage, Soudain, La nuit" is a good example too. Swedish Lidberg took a theme by Leo Brouwer and began to investigate on the movements of Cuban rumba with the dancers. "Paysage"… is like a party in the countryside at dusk, something pretty beautiful that makes the audience happy, with an installation by artist Elizabet Cerviño on stage that provides it with an original visuality.
"In addition, Spaniard María Rovira created "Impronta", a solo that has Afro-Cuban folk movements from contemporary dance. I think that this line on Cubanness, along with the quality of Acosta Danza's dancers —who can dance anything— is what marks the style of the company, beyond the personal poetics of each choreographer."
—What does it take to be a dancer of Acosta Danza?
—It's necessary to be a good artist, with the best possible dance technique and certain physical conditions that allow him/her to assume not only contemporary and folk dance but ballet as well. Another thing that I watch a lot is human quality, discipline and respect. This is very important because a troublesome person can bring the work of all into crisis, no matter how much talent he/she owns. We try to be careful on this aspect. I am proud that our boys are great and artistically restless dancers. They're quiet, wise and polite people. It's very easy to work with people like that and to create a family.
—Having the chance of assembling a group abroad, why did you found Acosta Danza in Cuba?
—A dance company is like a great cultural showcase and I think it is a good way of enabling our culture to reach everywhere, insert itself into the world with all its value. It is also my best way to thank and pay tribute. So, in addition to Cuban dancers and themes, with Acosta Danza I try to promote the music, plastic arts and choreographers of our country, as much the established ones as the youngsters. The shows of the company seek to be very contemporary, international, but they're mainly Cuban.
—What do you advise beginning dancers?
—To study and work hard. Whoever enters this world must be aware that dance is a restless work. Dance is a profession for self-sacrificing and industrious people, because natural talent does not go far either, should you do not shape it with discipline and dedication.
"It is a pretty competitive profession that can even go against the rules of nature. Therefore, it's necessary to strive and live for dance. You need to study the history of dance and to be updated with what is happening with this art in the world now. It's the way to be on the right track."

Q: Hibernate Query Association with Criteria: 'and' on children? Let's say I have a parent class Book, each with a list of Authors.
I am trying to find all the books with at least two Authors one named "Bob" and another one named "Alan".
Here is my Groovy code that doesn't work, it looks for books with an author named "Bob" and "Alan" at the same time, so it returns 0 items. I tried to create 2 aliases to create 2 joins, but Hibernate refuses to create 2 aliases to the same collection.
def crit = hsession.createCriteria(Book.class).createCriteria("authors").add(Restrictions.eq("name", "Bob")).add(Restrictions.eq("name", "Alan"))

A: You need to use LogicalExpression like this
def crit = hsession.createCriteria(Book.class)
.createAlias("authors", "author")
.add(Restrictions.or(Restrictions.eq("author.name", "Bob"), Restrictions.eq("author.name", "Alan")))

Oakhurst will supply you with attractive conservatory roof blinds, available in a large variety of fabrics, types and colours.
We cater for any shape or design of conservatory, including Orangeries and Glass Extensions. All of our conservatory roof blinds are tailor-made to fit your conservatory.
Fitting made-to-measure conservatory blinds to your conservatory roof and sides will control heat gain and reduce light and glare. This is essential if you want to utilise your room all year round. Especially for activities such as watching television or for working on a computer. Glazed roofs or polycarbonate roofs benefit equally from conservatory blinds.
Across all colour ranges we offer a variety of fabric backings, each with a different purpose. Thermal coated or Blackout Fabric, for example, are designed specifically to keep your conservatory cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Pleated conservatory roof blinds are a self-contained unit that is corded and tensioned. These blinds will not sag and that they will also stay in the position that you set them in, whether that is open, closed or anything in between.
Uniquely Oakhurst blinds are also equipped with our own Shapesure tm equal pleating system. This maintains the shape of the blind. It is a costly process requiring extra manufacturing time, but it delivers a superb and long-lasting product. Other manufacturers may either not fit an equal pleating system, or worse, they may just apply greater tension to flatten out the fabric and this can lead to pleats inverting over time.
Conservatory blinds are conveniently operated using an operating pole which we supply with each installation. The advantage to this method is that it is not necessary to have control cords for each individual blind as this can be unsightly. Alternatively, you may wish to consider remote controlled electric blinds.
Pleated roof blinds are the most popular choice for conservatory blinds, however, there are alternatives to a pleated roof and this can be either roller blinds, Pinoleum blinds or Woodweave blinds.
Another variant to the pleated blind system is the Perfect Fit blinds system. This is available for pleated blinds and for venetian blinds. Whether you decide to fit roof blinds or just side blinds, you can use Perfect Fit. This system is a cassette system that is designed to conceal more of the working components. Our staff will be happy to explain the pros and cons of both systems. Perfect Fit is also an ideal solution for bifold doors.
Also, within our blind range and in addition to pleated side blinds are:- Duo Blinds, Timber Venetian blinds, standard venetian blinds, vertical blinds, Roman blinds and plantation shutters all of which are available as side blinds and all are child safe.
Oakhurst offer colour coated blind head-rails in any colour option that you choose, including all premium branded paints.

Music copying, typesetting or engraving are all terms used to describe the trade of rendering music notation to publish-ready appearance. Historically this was done by hand or mechanically, whereas now computer-rendered materials are most common and even expected by many performers.
Peggy focuses mainly on the typesetting/layout process, electronically preparing music scores, performance parts or other materials up to the stage where they are ready to go to print. She is expert in both Finale and Sibelius music notation programs. Peggy has been providing music notation services to composers, publishing houses and other music professionals since 2003, specialising in the setting of new and recent Australian compositions. She is a Copyist member of MAGA, and served on the MAGA National Executive from 2006 to 2012.
Peggy's services are available for first-time typesetting of works as well as processing modifications to already-engraved ones, or overhauling historic files. She commonly works from handwritten materials, faxes and other hard-copies, or from scanned PDFs or image files.
Peggy can provide the finished product as notation software files, PDFs, MIDI and/or synthesised MP3 files. She can also produce graphic files (TIFF/EPS/JPEG) for importing into other applications, such as word processing software. Files can be emailed, uploaded to a cloud service or provided on USB stick or CD/DVD. Hard-copy prints are available for draft working if requested, as is basic A4 binding.
Electronic materials have the advantage of being able to be transported instantly worldwide. Peggy welcomes enquiries about her services from Australia and beyond, and has worked with a number of international clients to date. Contact Peggy with your music notation requirements or if you have any questions.
Peggy has worked in various capacities for her clients, from freelance one-time copyist to permanent music assistant to consultant on music notation, arts business and technology. Peggy is able to assist with music archiving: back-up and storage solutions for composers and other musicians working with print music.
As well as working closely with composers and the setting out of their music, Peggy has gained experience working at different stages of the music publishing process. Peggy worked part-time at the Australian Music Centre as Music Resources Coordinator from 2009-2013, in Sales, and in this role gained extensive knowledge about print music production as well as licensing and availability of Australian works, and especially how to source out-of-print sheet music. She continues to work casually for the Australian Music Centre as part of the production chain that prepares the digital sheet music collection for electronic loans and print sales.
More recently, Peggy is proud to have assisted with the start-up of Wildbird Music, a new publishing label dedicated to Australian music and books on Australian music. In this role Peggy assembled and maintains a WordPress eCommerce website, researches and consults on various aspects of publishing, and assists with day-to-day business operations.


Reef Chili has been tested by universities and has been proven to help accelerate coral growth at a very low cost. With fresh ingredients that don't need to be frozen, and is a must-have for any tank with filter feeders.
Reef Chili provides corals with all they need to be healthy and colorful in one food. Achieve faster growth.
Instructions: Suggest using every other day and adjust to your tanks needs.
1: Use the included portion spoon and add one level spoonful per 20 gallons to a half cup of tank water.
2: Shake the mixture vigorously for 30 seconds.
3: Either pour the mixture directly into the tank or target feed each coral with a syringe.
Reef Chili was originally created as a frozen fish/coral food and it worked out great, except for one thing, cost! Shipping frozen products overnight around the country is simply too expensive. Bulk Reef Supply co-founder Ryan made this product because he was tired of trying to feed his tank a dozen different things to keep all the corals and fish healthy and colorful. He also wanted to achieve faster growth rates from some of his slow growing frags and see his otherwise nocturnal corals come "alive" during the day with the lights on. All these products were frozen, expensive to ship and none of them are sold by the same vendor. He soon realized that none of this was necessary! He could make a 100% nutritionally complete food that didn't need to be frozen. Better yet, it can be done for just a few dollars a month.
With this much variety, you can feel safe knowing that you have done your best to meet the nutritional needs of every filter feeder in your tank. There is absolutely no need to use any other products.
Due to customs restrictions, we are unable to ship this product to Canada.
Feeding time has gotten so much more interesting since I've started using reef chili. Literally every coral I have goes crazy over this stuff, and I also notice more activity from my fan worm than normal during feeding. I've heard a lot of people say that frogspawn doesn't really have a feeding response. They obviously haven't tried reef chili. Mine has gotten to the point that when he realizes there's no flow in the tank, he deflates and exposes his mouth so I can give him a squirt, doesn't spit anything back out either. You can go wrong with this stuff, highly recommend!
This is the only coral food I've purchased so far, so I don't have anything else to compare to yet but my corals do respond well to it.
I just received my first jar of reef chili, and I have to say that I am very impressed and pleased with the amount that actually came in the jar! You definitely get your money's worth!!
I have bought so many things over the years and this is the first time I wrote a review (it's SUPER EFFECTIVE!) I read the the good review about reef chili and the video of Ryan showing reef chili having the highest coral growth, so i decide to try it out. Since day one my duncan never come out more than 3mm out of its skeleton. Reef chili was delivered today and i decided to add one scoop of it. Three hours later, my duncan came out all the way of its skeleton and opened everything up! Reef Chili should be changed into Reef Crack because only crack can do this! If you haven't already, i recommend buying this and testing it out.
Part of the reason I stayed away from LPS and SPS corals were the nightmarish mixes of different frozen foods you had to use years ago. Now with Reef Chili and Reef Roids in tandem, I can make sure ALL of my softies, LPS and SPS are not only properly fed but also thriving. I saw an immediate difference and my Montis especially are responding right away as well as my Red Goniopora. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone!
My corals love this food. Used ever other day, alternating with reef roids.
Feeding my Gorgonian wasn't too much of a challenge but then feeding my Red Goniopora definitely became one! One reason I've held off from buying corals was the endless advice of feeding regimines, types of food and the fact much of it was a mix of frozen and phyto (which doesn't seem to live very long).
Now I've got one easy food that even my mushrooms, zoas and even palys respond to! Even after only the second feeding I've already noticed much better colors and better response from my corals when it comes to feeding.
This is an absolute must have if you have corals or inverts, even fish like it!
I wanted to wait a little bit so as to give Reef Chili a few weeks to see how my corals responded to it. It didn't take that long for me to see a definite difference in feeding response and growth. Both have increased dramatically. My Zoas, other softies, and LPS all love this stuff. Plus, its actually fun to feed as they seem to go crazy for the stuff. I've started adding a cube or two of frozen mysis shrimp in the bottle when I mix for even a better response, especially my Acans. I'm definitely a believer!!
My corals don't seem to be responding any differently than they have been to the blend of reef food I made. IMO the feeding spoon they give you is way to small of a portion for what they recommend.
This stuff is awesome! All of my corals loved it. LPS and SPS when nuts for it. The price is great and the bottle last a long time. Can't go wrong purchasing this. Thanks BRS!
What's the right amount to use/mixup on a 5L pico tank? If the scoop mixes to 20 gallons in a 1/2 cup of water, I get about 6 ml of mixed chili solution per feeding session. This gives me about 20 days worth of food, but I suspect that it won't keep that long in the fridge. Should I just treat the mixed as any other food in my fridge and pitch it after about a week or so?
Hi Jeremiah, thanks for reaching out!
Depending on the coral in your system you may use more or less than 1 scoop/20 gallon. This will also depend on whether or not it is the only food source going into the system. Either way I toss any unused food after a few days since the nutritional value will likely begin degrade.
Can Reef Chili be used to feed clams?
You can! Would be a great supplement!
I have a question about how the reef chili product (as well as reef roids) is used to feed sps corals. I have various acropora, seriotopora, pocillopora, and montipora in my tank. They're all doing well but I've read these products will increase color, polyp extension, and growth. How does this work since the sps corals don't seem to consume the food directly as do lps or anemones. Do sps absorb dissolved amino acids or other nutrients from the water added via these foods? How should I best use these foods to benefit my sps corals?
For the most part Reef chili is designed for more soft corals and LPS which can take food directly. With SPS you will not need to supplement with reef shili rather using amino acid and other trace elements to supplement SPS. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Can you mix a bunch of this up and use it over the course of a few months for automated feeding?
In short the answer is no, unfortunately the food would being to have issue and decay rather quickly as well as settle down to the bottom of a container. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
What will be the best time to feed this to the corals?
Hi Pedro, Thanks for reaching out!
This is a bit of a tricky question in that some corals will feed during the day while others will mainly extend their feeding tentacles at night. That being said, nocturnal corals like Tubastraea (sun corals) for instance, can be trained over time to feed during the day.
If you are target feeding your corals you will learn, through a bit of trial and error/observation you which of your specific corals hold onto the food and ingest it. The other option would be to feed half the Reef Chili with the lights on and the other half after the lights have been out to make sure all of your corals are getting fed.
How often do I use the reef chili, and how much per gallon of water?
The dosage can be done one to 5 times a week depending on your system and likeliness of the corals to consume the food. Usually one to two times per week is common. Around 1 spoonful per 20 gallons will work well and it can be target fed if needed! Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
How long does reef chili stay fresh? How do you recommend storing it (fridge or freezer)?
Before introducing the Reef Chili into the tank, would it be beneficial to turn the return pumps off for a specific period of time to ensure it doesn't go down the drain and get caught in the filter sock?
it is a great idea to stop the return pump from taking away the left over food. In most cases this can be as little as 5 minutes. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
How does this product compare to a product like cyclop-eez?
Does this come with the Reef Chili Feeding Jar?
Thanks for reaching out to us. Each jar of BRS Reef Chili includes directions, a feeding jar, and a measuring spoon.
Hi! Just got my reef chili, but it didn't have a measuring spoon. Can you please tell me the measurement? Thanks!!
We actually pack the spoon inside of the bottle so you may need to do a little digging to find it. If you still can't find it let us know and we will get one sent out right away. You can call our Customer Service team at 763-432-9691.
The measuring spoon is actually 1/32 of a teaspoon so for the time being I would say just add a pinch of Reef Chili instead of a scoop.
Could reef chili be used as a feeding supplement for small moon jellyfish?
After one feeding my corals had their tentacles out, however when no feed the tank my fat clowns eat most of it out of the water column. They wake up and frenzy! So I tried even later at night, this time spot feeding with pumps off, and those clowns woke up and were bumping against corals trying to eat! How can I be sure the corals are getting the full benefit?
By protecting the coral when feeding by using an upside down cup with a hole drilled to allow the turkey baster or feeding device through you can protect the corals from shrimp and fish. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Reef Chili will stay fresh for 3-4 months at room temperature. Reef Chili will stay fresh in the fridge for 9-12 months depending on how humid and cold your fridge is. For maximum freshness always make sure to keep the cap on tight. Any time after these dates and we recommend replacing the reef chili.
What types of corals can be feed with Reef Chili? Lobophylia for example?
Reef chili is designed for a wide variety of corals which accept supplemental food. This is a fantastic source of nutrition for a Lobophylia and many other LPS and Softies. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Will my fish like Reef Chili as well?
Lots of fish love Reef Chili! I know my anthias go nuts every-time I add it to me tank.


I told y'all in the comments last week that I need 10 dedicated campers to add a city. And that is true! 15 would be awesome, obvs, but 10 is the minimum.
The current San Francisco camp is sold out, but I have heard from enough of you that I am adding another! And DC, I have added you as well, because a bunch of you have requested it. I've never been to DC, and I want to go there. So I am adding these extra two camps, but if they don't fill up, y'all are in big trouble. By which I mean, you better sign up now.

A BAND IS BORN,
Spanish musician and composer Tomás Merlo finds his dream trio:
V-M-L, with Jorge Vera and Miguel Lamas
feature by Greg Howard
CONNECT WITH TOMÁS ON FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/tomasmerlopascual
There's somethings truly exciting about finding the perfect group to perform tyour favorite style of music. Communication between the players is instant and free-flowing, and their enjoyment is contageous and obvious. I know this because right at the time I first met Tomás in 1999, I was discovering my own favorite bandmates in The Netherlands. As a young Stick player attending his first Stick seminar in Leeuwarden, Tomás was in the audience for the first concert of the progressive fusion Greg Howard Band. But this isn't about me, I only bring it up to say how much I share his enthusiasm for his new connection with keyboardist Jorge Vera and drummer Miguel Lamas. V-M-L (Vera-Merlo-Lamas) is all about the musical style most dear to Tomás's heart, '80s jazz fusion, as brought to life by musicians like Allan Holdsworth. It's great to hear a refreshing take on this style emerge in the hands of three such capable instrumentalists.
Greg: I met you at the 1999 Stick Seminar in Leeuwarden, Holland. You were a very young Stick player then, and in the interim you have pursued a successful career primarily as a bassist. Now you seem to be on fire with The Stick! What happened to light this blaze? What was the spark? And how does all that bass experience influence your writing and playing?
Tomás: One year after the 1999 Seminar I started studying at the jazz conservatory of Amsterdam, both electric and double bass, sadly I had to sacrifice playing The Stick because I didnt have enough time to focus on three instruments. After I finished the conservatory I started working as a professional bass player, doing a lot of jazz, touring with pop artists and recording for many people, and continued like that until today.
In the meantime I had a few attempts of coming back to The Stick but I always ended up selling it because I didn´t have time to invest in the instrument. But two years ago I found the Stick I have today and I said to myself, "it's time to do something with it for real." I had this debt with the instrument, so I started taking it to gigs, to the school were I teach etc... and finally last year, in March, I went on a one year world tour with artist Joan Manuel Serrat and I took it with me. On these tours you have a lot of time for yourself, you spend tons of hours in hotels so it was the perfect setting to practice the instrument, and think what I really want to do with it.
The good thing about coming back to the Stick after so long, almost 20 years, God...!!! is that I´m a fully formed musician now. Because I´m a jazz bassist I have a full understanding of harmony, and this is fundamental in order to play an instrument like the Stick... and of course I have the experience of having played with first class musicians for 20 years in many different styles, learning from other musicians in the end is the best school.
Greg: Most Stick players don't play in groups with keyboardists, perhaps because there is already so much sound coming from the instrument. What kinds of opportunities as a Stick player does playing with a great keyboardist like Jorge Vera give you, compared to just a Stick and drums duo, or working with a lead instrument like trumpet or sax?
Tomás: The main reason I play with other people is because I don't like playing alone ha ha, i'm a jazz player and I love interacting with other players, making music together on the spot, this is for me when magic happens in music, but it's also a challenge with an instrument like the Stick. Of course you can do a lot with it if you want but when you play with other instruments you have to respect each other's space, learn when to shut up, play in the right moment the right things. If you can do that then the magic happens.
I also like to change roles, for example in my tune "Delfos" with V.M.L the keyboard player plays the bass while I solo on the melody side, I could do that myself but changing the colour also adds a new dimension there, the fact you can do that doenst mean you have to do it all the time.
Greg: Your In a Hotel Room solo project was recorded in an unusual way. Can you explain how it came about? and what challenges you found making an album "on the move"?
Tomás: It all started as a challenge to myself while touring, to force myself practice different things with the instrument, and it ended up as an album, solo and with a few beautiful collaborations. Sometimes a had very little time, maybe only one day in one particular hotel and the idea was to either compose or arrange something in every hotel, so i had to do it, doesnt matter if i had just a few hours, so that was a great challenge.
V-M-L recorded three video's in the studio recently, "Pac Man" is Tomás's favorite.
Greg: Your new trio is a very exciting band, and the chemistry between the three of you is obvious. How did you meet Jorge and Miguel, and is this your first collaboration with them? Is there an album coming from this group, and some touring?
Tomás: I met them almost eight years ago; we play together in many different projects. I always liked playing with them, we always had good chemistry so it was about time to do something together. Making an album depends on the demand, for now we just recorded a few videos to see how it works, if we feel the need of making an album we´ll do it. We live in difficult times now for selling albums, most of the people listens music in Spotify or Youtube and you end up with boxes of CDs at home, so with this project I prefer to wait and see what happens first. The idea is to start playing around after the summer, now the three of us are very busy touring but from September on is a very good time.
Greg: Well, I really look forward to more. The compositions and the playing are really fantastic!
Greg: What kind of Stick do you have and in what tuning?
Tomás: It's a Grand Stick from the 90´s with the Stickup and Classic 6+6 tuning light gauge.
SOLO RECORDING
"In a Hotel Room"
Thomas recorded these tracks while on a world tour with singer song writer Joan Manuel Serrat. You can read about his preocess in the interview below... The ten-track record is available as a download on BandCamp.
Check out Tomás's version of Jaco Pastorius's "Portrait of Tracy", from his album In a Hotel Room.
In a Hotel Room by Tomás Merlo
Greg: Of course there is a different tuning, but apart from that, is there some way you "think" differently about bass parts on The Stick.
Tomás: I wouldn't say I think different, when I play the Stick and I'm comping to somebody or when I compose a tune I always try to create a good bassline, and because what I do most of the time in jazz I try to improvise harmonically interesting bass lines, but sometimes I have to addapt to the instrument because not everything that works on the bass works on the Stick the same way. The Stick has more sustain than a normal bass and has a different kind of fatness, so sometimes you don't need to play as many notes because this fatness already fills the whole bar.

This private entry sets the stage for a house design that is smart, casual and open. Its contemporary design situates the main living spaces on the upper level allowing ultimate living flexibility, abundant light, and spectacular views.
Set on a 150 acre site that slopes gently towards the water, Horizon is the area's first residential mixed-use development to combine warm, contemporary architecture with sustainable design, building and land-use strategies.
Perched on a perfect knoll above the South China Sea, this private compound takes full advantage of its unique rural site with a contemporary house design that embraces many sustainable design techniques.
Tucked against the wall of a natural cliff on the water's edge in Gig Harbor, Washington, this house design responded to the unique challenge of its site. The contemporary design integrates a green roof into the existing lawn, with a glass-enclosed elevator accessing the two levels below.
This home renovation project revitalized and expanded an existing home around the themes of family living, open plan organization, and dissolving the boundaries between the inside and outside living spaces.
The entry is the focal point for this major home renovation and includes an oversized door leading to the main water-side outdoor space, which is also accessible from the main living space.
Strung out along a sandy beach like a string of pearls, this proposed beach community offers home plans and designs for both beachfront residences and clustered housing just steps from the beach, as well as a four-story modern residential building offering knock-out views from the upper levels.
This fourteen-home condominium building design is situated on the Lake Washington waterfront.
The project required extensive urban building design elements, including considerations for the University of Washington's Tacoma Campus, the historic fabric of this warehouse district, the Station, and planning for the Chihuly Bridge of Glass.
Located in downtown Tacoma, Washington, this 50,000 sf building design houses TAM's collection of Northwest art and glass art and provides space for major traveling exhibits, educational outreach, and other civic functions.
This 300-seat sanctuary forms the focal point of this church campus in Bellevue, Washington. The interior space uses natural daylight as the central architectural design inspiration.
Scheduled for completion in 2013, this house design, intended as a family retreat, overlooks Saratoga Passage on Whidbey Island, Washington.
This building design proposes a 'tree house for grown-ups' on a steeply wooded slope near Mt. Charleston, Nevada.

Scar tissue massage can often help if you have excess scar tissue or adhesions that cause pain or limited mobility or if you want to improve the appearance of a scar. Sudden injury, surgery, or repetitive motion can lead to excess scar tissue and adhesions that are weaker, less elastic, more likely to be injured, and more sensitive to pain than healthy tissue.
An adhesion is an internal band of scar tissue that binds together tissue fibers, preventing them from moving properly. When adhesions develop on muscles, fascia, or other connective tissue, they can limit the movement ability of a muscle or joint. Adhesions on the fascia surrounding nerve cells can lead to problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Adhesions on organs (a common problem after surgery) can also cause pain.
When you have a soft-tissue (muscle, tendon, ligament, etc.) injury, the injury heals in three stages called the inflammatory response.
Acute phase (lasts two to four days): Initially, acute inflammation, redness, swelling, heat, and pain occur. The fluids from torn blood and lymph vessels coagulate to seal off the injured area, while uninjured vessels bring in extra fluids and chemicals that create a gel-like substance around the injured tissue. This gel contains binding factors that help hold together the injured tissues.
Also during the acute phase, white blood cells called macrophages come in to eat the dead tissue and bacteria that might cause infection. The macrophages also let the body know how many repair cells called fibroblasts to send in. If infection or prolonged inflammation does occur, the macrophages request too many fibroblasts, contributing to the formation of excess scar tissue.
During the acute phase, gentle massage to surrounding areas can help reduce swelling by assisting fluid movement, but direct massage to the injury can cause damage.
Repair or rebuilding phase (lasts three to four weeks): As inflammation decreases, fibroblasts begin to repair the injured tissue by producing collagen and lubricating fluids. The collagen fibers line up within the fluid and bond, forming scar tissue over the injury. During this phase, gentle movement, range of motion, and gentle massage can help the collagen fibers move, line up, and bond normally.
Some sources recommend starting to massage scar tissue eight to 16 days after the initial injury for the best results, though your individual situation may vary. Newer scars are more malleable.
Remodeling phase (lasts six to 12 months): The body works to return the tissues as closely as possible to their original condition. The collagen making up the scar tissue is constantly being replaced and how well the fibers align in the final scar tissue depends on a number of factors, one of the most important being the pulling tension (tensile force) the scar tissue experiences during remodeling. Now is the time that scar tissue massage is particularly helpful because it creates tension.
Although there are various approaches to scar tissue massage, a common technique is cross-fiber friction, which is often used as part of injury massage. Using this technique effectively requires precision; the massage therapist must locate the adhesion and then apply pressure to move across the fibers without sliding over the skin.
Cross-fiber friction can be uncomfortable, but the massage therapist should always perform the technique within your pain tolerance. The discomfort gradually decreases over a number of sessions as excess scar tissue goes away and the remaining scar tissue becomes stronger.

Q: How to access single channel matrix in OpenCV I want to ask if it is possible to access single channel matrix using img.at<T>(y, x) instead using img.ptr<T>(y, x)[0]
In the example below, I create a simple program to copy an image to another
cv::Mat inpImg = cv::imread("test.png");
cv::Mat img;
inpImg.convertTo(img, CV_8UC1); // single channel image

cv::Mat outImg(img.rows, img.cols, CV_8UC1);

for(int a = 0; a < img.cols; a++)
    for(int b = 0; b < img.rows; b++)
        outImg.at<uchar>(b, a) = img.at<uchar>(b, a);   // This is wrong

cv::imshow("Test", outImg);

The shown result was wrong, but if I change it to
outImg.ptr<uchar>(b, a)[0] = img.ptr<uchar>(b, a)[0];

The result was correct.
I'm quite puzzled since using img.at<T>(y, x)  should also be okay. I also tried with 32FC1 and float, the result is similar.

A: Although I know you already found it, the real reason - buried nicely in the documentation - is that cv::convertTo ignores the number of channels implied by the output type, so when you do this:
inpImg.convertTo(img, CV_8UC1);

And, assuming your input image has three channels, you actually end up with a CV_8UC3 format, which explains why your initial workaround was successful - effectively, you only took a single channel by doing this:

Off Menu: Heading to South L.A. for chicken sausage, a staple of Los Angeles' black community
By Lucas Kwan PetersonFood Columnist
Some things immediately come to mind when you think about food in Los Angeles: tacos, sushi and grain bowls, to name a few. But chicken sausage, long a staple in L.A.'s black community, doesn't always receive proper recognition. This piece from Garrett Snyder explores how chicken sausage found its way onto so many L.A. menus, and why it flourished.
During this week's episode of "Off Menu," Food columnist Lucas Kwan Peterson goes to South L.A. to visit two black-owned businesses that focus on chicken sausage, Mama's Chicken on Slauson Avenue and Best Buy Meat on Crenshaw Boulevard. At Mama's, Lucas talks with Karen Whitman, longtime proprietor who has worked at Mama's for 50 years. At Best Buy Meat, owned by father-and-son duo Walter Hart Sr. and Walter Hart Jr., Lucas learns more about the history of their business and how chicken sausage became such a beloved food in the community.

Town Musician: Why don't they want to find a new and better vaccine preservative?
Why don't they want to find a new and better vaccine preservative?
The Geneva Mercury-Treaty has been signed by 140 nations. There is apparently substantial agreement among those countries that mercury is very toxic, and the San Francisco Chronicle reports that "the World Health Organization has said there are no safe limits for the consumption of mercury and its compounds, which can also cause brain and kidney damage, memory loss and language impairment." That this agreement is a good start goes without saying; what irks me, though, is the fact that certain exceptions were granted particularly the exception that keeps mercury in vaccines.
I understand that certain countries lobbied for this exception. They did not address the reason, and they did not address the need to find a better preservative. Why not? Wouldn't it make sense to find a better preservative?
Here's the thing. Mercury is really poisonous. But the mercury in vaccines has never been tested for safety. That largely untested material used to be called Merthiolate (now Thimerosal). In the days when Merthiolate was invented mercury still had the status of medicine--it was used against syphilis, worms, teething pain, joint pains and many other "cures." Mercury was used for constipation, as a diuretic, for head lice. It was and still is used as a tooth filling material. Mercury was a cure-all. So in 1929 Eli Lilly started using the patented Merthiolate as an antibiotic, and in the '30s it was, among other things, used as a preservative in vaccines. And ever since then Merthiolate has had a protected spot in the hearts of vaccine manufacturers and promoters in spite of the fact that nobody had a clue how it worked and whether its use caused more deaths and injuries than if it had not been used.
The fact that mercury killed many that it was supposed to cure was swept under the rug. It was then, and it is now, very convenient to keep mercury in vaccines as an allowable substance. After all the grandfathered-in material does not have to be safety-tested.
The preserving substance was renamed in the '70s from Merthiolate to Thimerosal to keep the general population from being made aware of the fact that the topical tincture of Merthiolate had to be withdrawn because it killed a number of newborn infants. But connecting those dots is "too difficult?" for the powers that be. And now we have scads of parents refusing to get their children vaccinated. Many vaccines still contain mercury. I am not asking why this is the case. I am instead appalled that this is acceptable. I know what I know, and I don't like it. A great opportunity to change that was missed.
Maybe all that mercury has already affected too many of the powers that be. It has addled their brains and they can't find their way back to reason. Is the sentence "Quem Mercurius perdere vult dementat prius" really still as true as it was in Roman times? I am afraid so. And it's such a shame.
What's this about Social Darwinism?

Recovering drug addict is fined for possession
A RECOVERING drug addict who moved out of the area in a bid to kick his habit was later found in possession of a Class A drug.
00:00, 9 JUN 2004
Roger Robinson, who used to live in Leftwich, appeared at Vale Royal Magistrates Court on Friday and pleaded guilty to possession of non-prescribed methadone - the so-called heroin substitute often prescribed to addicts looking to come off the drug - and admitted driving with no insurance or MOT.
The court heard the 33-year-old, who now lives in Manchester, was stopped by police last October.
Catherine Whincup, prosecuting, told the court: 'On October 18 last year officers on patrol attended a car park behind the Farmers Arms public house. They found a blue Ford Sierra, with the defendant standing by it. They spoke to him and, as a result, had cause to search his home address.
'In his bedroom they found a bottle of unprescribed methadone. When interviewed by police, he admitted the bottle was his.'
Derek McDonald, defending, told the court: 'The defendant has been living in Manchester for some three or four months now. He knew it [methadone] was illegal but he bought it off someone else.
'At that time he was involved in drugs and he tried to get help but was told that there was a waiting list. He wanted to get off drugs and stay clean, he could not do it legally so he therefore purchased it illegally.
'He has now, off his own back, made considerable progress and attends therapy and testing sessions.'
Magistrates told Robinson they were very pleased with his progress but fined him £50 for the possession of methadone and £50 for driving with no insurance. He also received eight points on his driving licence.


As you know, a solid chunk of Tinsel Town hotties head to Vegas each weekend to serve as paid pimpstresses for various clubs and casinos at an assortment of parties sponsored by liquor companies or watch companies or companies selling stuff I know I can't afford. But, that's Vegas.
This weekend was a fierce and unexpected showdown between the Christina Milian, sultry hottie who brought all types of boobtastic to bear and bare at her event at the Palazzo, while the more demure, but ridiculously sextastic Aimee Teegarden, the prime deposit in many a tug vault, flashed a hint of skin and an award winning smile in order to bring the Sin City swagger in her direction. Who was the ultimate pimpstress?
Personally, I'd pay to pull the lever on either slot. Enjoy.


Congratulations to Larysa Switlyk and the rest of Team USA for earning the title of World Carp Classic Champions 2015! The team took home first place at the event held on Lac de Madine in France, with there top 3 carp weighing in at a combined 135lbs. Way to go team!

RaboDirect Pro12 – Italian regions shirt round-up
Since the Italian regions joined the Pro12 back in 2010, they've steadily become more relevant and competitive. While the notion of them troubling the top half of the table seems a way off yet, they've proved, both in the league and in the Heineken Cup, that they're no pushovers. But of course, all their on-field success will matter not one jot, if they don't look good while they're doing it, so let's dive in…
Benetton Rugby Treviso
Treviso have carried the standard for Italian domestic rugby in recent years, giving a good account of themselves at home in both league and Euro competition, picking up the scalps of Leinster, Ospreys and more along the way, and finishing a very respectable seventh last time out. Their new-found relevance has coincided with a big-name shirt sponsor, with the Treviso club now having its shirts made by Canterbury. While the green and white hoops might just be too much for some, you work with what you've got, and we really like the little touches here, such as the tricolour Italian flag collar motif. There's no doubt that this shirt suffers from sponsor overload, but in a weird way – there's too many tiny sponsors, whereas using one of them as a main sponsor would break up the front a bit and make it look a little less bare.
SHIT/GOOD RATING: GOOD
Zebre
We don't really know what zebras have to do with Northern Italy, but when they joined the league last season, replacing the defunct Aironi, we were a bit disappointed with their kit choices. The home shirt was a cookie-cutter black and white affair, while the Heineken Cup shirt embraced the zebra theme perhaps a little too much. Thankfully, Zar-X has taken a nice path down the middle with this shirt – it's perhaps a little plain and bland for our tastes, but the subtle zebra striping at the bottom at least adds a bit of interest. A classic it isn't, but for a new company finding their feet in the rugby shirt world, it's okay.
SHIT/GOOD RATING: GOOD. ISH.
Check back soon for the final part of our Pro12 countdown, where we'll be taking a look at the shirts for the Scottish teams this season.

Q: Are the Cram101 books any good for studying mathematics? I found the book  "a Gateway to Modern Geometry: The Poincare Half-Plane" by Saul Stahl,  a bit over my budget. but browsing amazon I came across:
"Studyguide for a Gateway to Modern Geometry: The Poincare Half-Plane by Stahl, Saul, ISBN 9780763753818 Paperback "
by Cram101 Textbook Reviews
Is this studyguide any good? (the same for the studyguide for Greenbergs "Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometry"
And maybe the same about the other books written by Cram101 are they any good?
My interest is especially in the formulas, explaining text and proofs are a minor interest.

A: I learned the hard way and got scammed by buying this useless study guide.
Cram101 study guides are no study guides.  Half of the book is blank.  On the non-blank pages, only one definition is provided.  The term being defined has nothing to do with the current chapter.  It's a simple term that you already know.  On top of that, those simple terms are repeated for multiple chapters.  I don't understand why this company is not being shut down by legal agencies.

A: No. Not only is the Cram101 series not useful for learning, but it's a scam. Here is a review of the "outline" for Billingsley's Probability and Measure:

I thought it was some comments on the Billingsley's book, Probability and Measure, but it is just a small notebook with a kind of a (very bad) dictionary of probability terms in the margin of each page. The idea is that you do not need to highlight your Billingsley book, but copy the passages to this notebook instead. I put it in the trash already. Don't buy it; this is not a book!

Another, for an unnamed statistics book:

I just received my "Cram101" book in the mail, for a graduate level statistics course. It is entirely definitions, for words such as "theorem" or "linear", and has nothing to do with the course. It is only 54 pages long, and all of the right hand pages are blank. The final page even defines "rat" as being a "various medium sized rodent". Wish I had read these blogs before I purchased.

Now I personally don't have access to any of their math books, nor a desire to flush \$30 down the metaphorical toilet. As a substitute, I found out that a local university library had a few of these "outlines" for texts in other fields (I sincerely hope that these were "donated" and not procured using library funds). Here's what the content pages look like:

The right-hand pages are ostensibly for you to write your own notes.
Leafing through the "outline" for Varian's Intermediate Microeconomics, I can confirm the running themes of reviews of Cram101 publications:

*

*The terms don't match those of the text. A full 75% of the bolded terms from the chapter on game theory (such as "payoff matrix" and "prisoner's dilemma") are missing in the Cram101 rendition. Instead...

*Terms appear over and over again. Don't make me count how many times the definition of "economics" appears.

*Many terms and definitions have little to do with the topic. Highlights include

Argument | The discussion by counsel for the respective parties of their contentions on the law and the facts of the case being tried in order to aid the jury in arriving at a correct and just conclusion is called argument.
Context | The effect of the background under which a message often takes on more and richer meaning is a context. Context is especially important in cross-cultural interactions because some cultures are said to be high context or low context.
Continental Airlines | Continental Airlines is an airline of the United States. Based in Houston, Texas, it is the 6th largest airline in the U.S. and the 8th largest in the world. Continental's tagline, since 1998, has been Work Hard, Fly Right.

The definitions in fact appear to be scraped (and plagiarized) from elsewhere. For example, the definitions quoted above can be found respectively at here, here, and here. I suspect that the terms and definitions are shoddily compiled from the internet by some algorithm (here is a similar allegation), and really, that's the only way they could possibly produce 20,000+ volumes of these "outlines" without bankrupting themselves. Additional documentation of Cram101's practices can be found for example here.
Conclusion: Don't give them your money. You'd be lucky to find even one formula in the "outline", and even more so to find one that's actually from Stahl's book.

Wisconsin Governor Calls for New Foxconn Deal
The negotiation was called for because the Taiwanese company scaled back its plans and is unlikely to create the jobs it promised.
William Sprouse
Tony Evers
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers called for the state to renegotiate its contract with Foxconn Technology Group for $4 billion in investment incentives, saying the company was not likely to create the jobs it promised.
"Clearly the deal that was struck is no longer in play and so we will be working with individuals at Foxconn and of course with (the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp.) to figure out how a new set of parameters should be negotiated," Evers said to a group of reporters in his office.
Evers said it was too early to say what specific changes to the agreement his administration would seek. Foxconn announced it was building a 20-million-square-foot campus and would employ 13,000 people in Wisconsin, drawing praise from President Donald Trump.
Evers' comments came after Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou, who is worth an estimated $8 billion, announced he was stepping down from the company to run for president of Taiwan. Gou said the sea goddess Mazu told him to "step forward and do something for the people of Taiwan," CNN reported citing Taiwan state media.
Evers said he expected the project would go forward "whether Mr. Gou is part of that enterprise or not" but the project would be smaller.
"The present contract deals with a situation that no longer exists, so it's our goal to make sure that the taxpayers are protected and environmental standards are protected, and we believe that we need to take a look at that contract," Evers said.
The secretary and chief executive of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, Mark Hogan, said he is in frequent contact with Foxconn.
"These ongoing discussions include consideration of the effect the company's evolving plans may have on WEDC's contract and our steadfast commitment to [protecting] the taxpayers of Wisconsin," Hogan said.
Robin Vos, the speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly, said he was concerned Evers was trying to undermine the agreement with Foxconn, which Vos called "ironclad."

North Carolina telecommunicator rescues teen
by: Natalie Wilson
RANDOLPH COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — Randolph County Telecommunicator Cheyenne Allred was getting ready to end her shift on Dec. 29 when the phone rang.
She decided to take one more call before switching out with her colleagues who were coming in to work.
That final call would be the most intense of the day.
A distraught 13-year-old dialed 911 while on a Randolph County bridge. She called saying she was about to jump but didn't know if she should.
"I just started trying to get her mind off of what she was thinking about doing," Allred said.
In the 13-minute call, Allred asked the girl about her pets and her favorite class in school and reassured her that help was on the way.
Her words were anything but small talk.
"She was right there. It could have happened at any second," she said.
She comforted the girl while sending critical information to deputies.
Deputy Chris Martin responded to the scene and pulled the girl away from the bridge.
"The fact that TC Allred has been doing this for less than a year and was able to knock this out of the park and establish that rapport as quickly as she did, I absolutely feel that she saved that girl's life," he said.
Martin told his lieutenant about the vital role Allred played in the response. Allred was awarded the Randolph County Sheriff's Office "Sheriff's Commendation."
Allred hopes this award brings attention to the men and women who do this line of work all over the country.
"I don't really like being in the spotlight, but I wanted to do this because I know a lot of TCs don't get the recognition that they deserve," she said.
Allred has since transitioned from emergency telecommunications to start training as an EMT.
