With the contract, BAE Systems is the latest company to join the industry team for the US Navy's MQ-25 project.
MQ-25 is the navy's first operational carrier-based unmanned aircraft. The aircraft will provide refuelling capabilities to help extend the combat range of F/A-18 Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler and F-35C fighters.
BAE Systems Military Aircraft Systems director Corin Beck said: "BAE Systems leads the industry in high-integrity fly-by-wire and mission-critical IFF technologies. Our relationship with Boeing started more than four decades ago and has resulted in aircraft that have some of the most advanced avionics and reduced size transponders in the world."
The role of the vehicle management control system will be to control all flight surfaces and take care of overall vehicle management duties for the UAV.
BAE Systems' IFF system will identify both coalition and enemy aircraft to enable operation in contested environments.
Boeing is under an engineering and manufacturing development contract to provide four MQ-25 aircraft to the navy.
Boeing MQ-25 programme director Dave Bujold said: "The MQ-25 programme is vital because it will help the US Navy extend the range of the carrier air wing, and Boeing and our industry team is all-in on delivering this capability.
"The work we're doing is also foundational for the future of Boeing, where we're building autonomous systems from seabed to space."
In addition, Boeing has awarded contracts to GE Aviation and Parker Aerospace.
"We're building autonomous systems from seabed to space."
GE Aviation will supply a stores management solution for the MQ-25 programme. Parker Aerospace is required to supply flight control tail actuation.
Other companies to have received contracts for the programme include Harris, Curtiss-Wright's Defense Solutions, and Cubic Mission Solutions.

'Days of Our Lives' episode sparks backlash about mental disorders and sexual consent
A "Days of Our Lives" episode has drawn backlash over the concept of sexual consent. (Photo: NBC)
A Days of Our Lives storyline has sparked a heated debate about sexual consent.
In a preview of an episode that aired Tuesday, a character named Abigail Deveraux develops Dissociative identity disorder — and as a result, a second personality known as Gabby Hernandez. In the controversial scene, Abigail's husband, Chad DiMera, catches her in the act of having sex with his half-brother Stefan — after she switches to her Gabby persona
On Monday, after NBC tweeted the preview clip, many people condemned the notion of a man having sex with a woman suffering from Dissociative identity disorder while she had become a different personality, due to her not truly being able to give her consent. The hashtag #JusticeForAbby also made the rounds, ushering the 53-year-old soap firmly into the #MeToo era.
A representative from NBC did not return Yahoo Lifestyle's request for comment.
According to the Mayo Clinic, Dissociative identity disorder (also known as multiple personality disorder) is a mental disorder that involves the person "switching" to different identities, and even feeling the presence of multiple people talking or living inside their head. Other times, the person may feel "possessed" by different identities. According to Mayo, identities can have distinctive names, personal histories, and personality characteristics, including variations of their voice, gender, or physical qualities — such as the need for eyeglasses. The disorder is rare, and people usually develop it as a coping mechanism to deal with trauma.
But according to Gail Saltz, M.D., a psychiatrist and author of The Power of Different: The Difference Between Disorder and Genius, Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is more complicated than it seems to be on the daytime soap. "This is a debatable diagnosis in the form it's presented on the show — there's evidence of it as an individual disorder; others say it's a variant of others such as bipolar disorder, or that it develops under the influence of a therapist," Saltz tells Yahoo Lifestyle.
Saltz says that the way DID is presented on Days isn't exactly realistic, explaining, "Dissociative identity disorder doesn't really exist in this form — the concept that you're one person today and a completely and totally different person tomorrow. And the show specifies the issue nearly to the point of nonexistence."
Acknowledging that public reaction is focused on the legitimate issue of sexual consent, Saltz says, "If a person presents with so serious a psychiatric illness that they lack compacity to understand their actions because they're having delusions or hallucinations, they cannot consent."
However, whether that argument would hold up in court is another matter, she says. "For example, if someone didn't pay their taxes under one identity and claimed innocence under another, the IRS would still impose a punishment. On the other hand, if a person with a serious psychiatric disorder commits a crime, they may plead guilty by reason of insanity," Saltz explained.
Boiling down a psychiatric illness to a sexy plot line in a daytime soap is too simplistic, says Saltz, adding, "People probably don't need to worry about this situation playing out in real life."

Victorian Illustrated Books as Essentially Victorian
Tom Mole
[The following passage comes from the author's book cited in the bibliography below, which is reviewed in the Victorian Web. — George P. Landow]
ew books that appeared with illustrations from their first publication became more common in the Victorian period, produced either by a single artist working in two media, such as William Thackeray, Edward Lear, or Beatrix Potter, or by collaborators such as Charles Dickens and Hablot K. Browne (Phiz), or Lewis Carroll and John Tenniel. Serial publication (as in the case of Dickens) also lent itself to illustration, with one or two images appearing with each number, which were then reprinted when the numbers were reissued as a volume. Of course, the Romantic period had illustrated books too. . . . However, very few canonical Romantic works appeared with illustrations when first published, with the obvious exception of Blake's illuminated books.. . .
Examples of Victorian Book Illustration. Left: The Execution of Lady Jane Grey at Tower Green by George Cruikshank. Middle left: Mr. Pickwick in the Pound by Phiz. Middle right: Schacabac knocks down the Barmecide by Arthur Boyd Houghton. Right: Alice and the White Rabbit by Lewis Carroll. [Click on images to enlarge them.]
In the Victorian period, not only were there more illustrated books in circulation than ever before, but they were also more profusely illustrated and more extensively ornamented. Publishers multiplied the numbers of head- and tailpieces, decorative dividers, and printers' ornaments they used, so that in some Victorian books almost every page is embellished with some kind of visual ornament. Colored ink was also more commonly used for initials and borders. This level of ornamentation extended to the trade bindings that were growing in popularity in this period, so that books were increasingly offered for sale in bindings decorated with blind or gilt tooling rather than in the plain paper wrappers common in the early decades of the century. All these features made books from the middle of the nineteenth century look noticeably different from those of the 1810s and '20s. Today, any well-informed librarian, book historian, or antiquarian bookseller could tell which of the two periods a shelf of books came from without crossing the room to examine the volumes individually. . . .
Left: Tailpiece for "Gray's Elegy" by Owen Jones. Middle left: Binding for "Common Wayside Flowers" by Albert Warren. Middle right: Binding for "Old English Ballads" designed by John Leighton. Right: Binding for "George Cruikshank's Fairy Library" by Cruikshank himself. [Click on images to enlarge them.]
Many Victorians thought that the progress of book illustration was another manifestation of the generational shift that separated them from the Romantic period. They insisted not only that illustrated books were characteristic of the current moment but also that their quality was one of the things that set that moment apart from the preceding age. To be illustrated was to be up to date. [48-49; emphasis added]
Left: Will Fern's Cottage by Clarkson Stanfield for Dickens's The Chimes. Middle left: Come buy by Laurence Housman for Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market. Middle right: At the cottage door by Myles Birket Foster for Pictures of English Landscape. Right: Dora by John Everett Millais for the Moxon Tennyson. [Click on images to enlarge them.]

Q: jQuery - IE8 select option will not break/wrap text in a dropdown Using jQuery 1.9.1 & have the following code in my CSS for the web page:
.breakword {
-ms-word-break: break-all;
word-break: break-all;
// Non standard for webkit
     word-break: break-word;
-webkit-hyphens: auto;
-moz-hyphens: auto;
hyphens: auto;
font-size: 0.9em; font-weight: normal;
}

The HTML code has:
<td class="breakword" align="left" style="width:54%;vertical-align:middle;">
      <select name="vlist" id="vlist" class="choices">
    </select>
</td>

The select above is populated with results from a SQL query.
It just so happens that one of the items retrieved from the table is longer than the input field.  In Firefox, it displays fine on multiple lines.  In IE8 however, I cannot get it to display except on 1 line.  Also, it will overlay the field next to it.
The data retrieved would be:
<Row>
  <ID>15</ID>
  <vtext>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</vtext>
</Row>
<Row>
  <ID>16</ID>
  <vtext>This is a test item for the dropdown</vtext>
</Row>

What am I missing about getting this to function properly in IE8?

A: Two issues with the code above

*

*Table cells, ignore widths and expand to accommodate their content

*Furthermore, select elements, will grow with their content, unless you specify a width, which will make the element small, but the dropdown list will still span it's full size;

In order to achieve what you want, either set a static width to your select element,
<select style="width:200px"></select>
or have it scale with its table cell. See example JSFiddle here

A: SELECT (radio and checkbox included) elements are rendered by the OS (not really HTML) and doesn't fully respect CSS, especially in older browsers like IE8.

Michael Wittgraf with HASCO Duo
Guest blogger Michael Wittgraf shares the story behind his collaboration with HASCO Duo ahead of their performance on Sunday, March 31 at Studio Z.
I hope you can join the HASCO Duo and me at Studio Z on March 31st for an afternoon of improvised electronic music. Amanda DeBoer Bartlett (voice) and Jesse Langen (guitar) of the HASCO Duo bring their improvised electronic magic and blend it with my sound processing environments to create music ranging from the ethereal to the edgy, intermixed with the occasional surprise. You will see and hear interesting texts, guitar pedals, e-bows, and Nintendo Wiimotes.
Jesse and Amanda are featured on the recently released album Manifold, an eclectic collection of my original music from the past 25 years, ranging from solo classical guitar to guitar with electronics to the improvised electronics you will hear in this show. The album will be available that afternoon, and is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and other outlets.
Jesse and I are from Stearns county in central Minnesota, but we met in 1994 in Chicago when we were students at Northwestern University. I have performed with and written many pieces for him since then, and am extremely pleased to have been able to work with him extensively over the past two years. He is a singular talent who takes the process of learning and studying a piece of music more seriously than anyone I have met. It is a fortunate composer who has a performer treat his music with the degree of detail that Jesse does.
The original idea for Manifold was an album featuring Jesse on guitar, solo and with electronics. At his suggestion, we brought in Amanda from Omaha for two tracks of improvised music, which has proven to be an extremely good decision. The tracks with Amanda have received more airplay than the others. Jesse and Amanda, besides forming the entirety of the HASCO Duo, are also members of the renowned Chicago-based new music ensemble Dal Niente.
This concert is part of a short tour that includes shows in Grand Forks, ND, Chicago, and St. Paul. It is funded by a University of North Dakota Fine Arts and Humanities Scholarship Initiative Grant, administered by the UND College of Arts and Sciences.
HASCO DUO
FEATURING MICHAEL WITTGRAF
March 31 • 4 p.m. • $10 • Tickets/info
An afternoon of improvised electronic music. The HASCO duo, comprising Amanda DeBoer Bartlett (Omaha, NE) on vocals and electronics and Jesse Langen (Chicago, IL) on guitar and electronics, team up with Michael Wittgraf (Grand Forks, ND) on computer to create an afternoon filled with soothing sounds, interesting words, and many surprises. It is an experience of maximum interaction between performers and their technology.
Eric Stokes Song Contest Winner Ryan David Stevens
Ryan David Stevens (b. 1992) is an American composer from Minneapolis, Minnesota. They received a B.M. in music theory and composition in 2016 from the University of Northern Iowa, studying under Dr. Jonathan Schwabe and Dr. Alan Schmitz. Stevens takes interest in loosening the definition of what it means to make "high art" music. They often take inspiration from the experimental production and composition styles of noise, electronic, and rock/pop music, while continuing to push boundaries in the contemporary classical realm of music composition and performance.
Ryan is one of three winners of Zeitgeist's 24th annual Eric Stokes Song Contest. Named in memory of late composer Eric Stokes, the contest is designed to encourage and celebrate amateur composers throughout the Twin Cities. Ryan's winning composition, Tachypsychia: Circadian, will be performed by Zeitgeist at their annual Playing it Close to Home concert Feb. 8-9 at Studio Z.
Tachypsychia was originally written as a four-movement piano suite. The second movement, Circadian, has been arranged specifically for Zeitgeist. Tachypsychia is a neurological condition that alters the perception of time during moments of extreme trauma, physical exertion, or altered states of mind. Ryan finds that minimalism tries to achieve a similar goal of distorting time through music.
Playing it Close to Home
Feb. 8-9, 7:30 p.m.
Studio Z: 275 East Fourth Street, Suite 200, St. Paul
$15 / $10 students & seniors
Tickets/Info
With winning songs from the Eric Stokes Song Contest plus music by local composer Yohannes Tona, Zeitgeist's annual Playing it Close to Home concert celebrates the wealth of musical creativity found right here in our own backyard. The program includes music by Eric Stokes Song Contest winners Debbie Cushman, Ryan David Stevens, and Dominic Cudd, plus new works by Ethiopian bassist and composer Yohannes Tona, including pieces inspired by Ethiopian folk music and works from his albums 1317 and Sand From The Desert.
Eric Stokes Song Contest Winner Dominic Cudd
Dominic Cudd is a 16-year-old singer, songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist from South Minneapolis. He is a sophomore at the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists, is a member of the Prelude Performance Program at MacPhail Center of Music, and studies voice with Thaxter Cunio. He has been awarded the Mary Ann Kimball Vocal Performance Scholarship at MacPhail the past two years, and is a 2019 winner of MacPhail's Mini-Met Competition.
In addition to singing, Dominic plays trumpet (including with Minnesota Youth Symphonies), piano, and guitar, and he composes his own songs. He released his first album of original songs (entitled In This Place) in November 2018. Dominic wrote the lyrics and music for the album and performed on vocals, keyboard, guitar and trumpet. Dominic has also composed original jazz compositions, and he recently wrote an original score for an SPCPA production of The Little Prince at Gremlin Theatre.
Dominic is the youth winner of Zeitgeist's 24th annual Eric Stokes Song Contest. Named in memory of late composer Eric Stokes, the contest is designed to encourage and celebrate amateur composers throughout the Twin Cities. Dominic's winning entry, Composition in B minor, will be performed by Zeitgeist at their annual Playing it Close to Home concert Feb. 8-9 at Studio Z.
In describing his winning composition, Dominic says: "I love music because it is beautiful and allows me to express deep emotion. There is some sadness in this song but also the idea that creating something beautiful is calming and healing."
Eric Stokes Song Contest Winner Debbie Cushman
A classical piano student from the age of five, St. Paul-based singer-songwriter Debbie Cushman taught herself to play guitar as an adult. One awesome teacher and a couple of decades later, guitar is her primary instrument and she has written three albums of songs since 2012, all published under the Footfall band name. While Americana is a natural home for most of her repertoire, Debbie is happy to sing and make music across genres; she is equally comfortable with hymns and rock and roll. Debbie plays in a variety of settings and configurations, including as a soloist and with the bands Footfall, Granger's Moonshine and Wayward Creek. Thanks to the good humor of her band-mates, you may also see her dabbling in harmonica and washboard.
Debbie is one of three winners of Zeitgeist's 24th annual Eric Stokes Song Contest. Named in memory of late composer Eric Stokes, the contest is designed to encourage and celebrate amateur composers throughout the Twin Cities. Debbie will join Zeitgeist to perform her winning song, Crazy Sky, at Zeitgeist's annual Playing it Close to Home concert Feb. 8-9 at Studio Z.
Debbie writes about her winning song and her work as a songwriter:
I wrote Crazy Sky when a friend sent me a summer storm photo--one of those pink and orange and black Midwestern skies after the rain has moved out. Not all songs just come together, but this one wrote itself quickly. The studio additions made by violin and cello (The OK Factor) were genius... so in that sense, I guess the spirit of the piece worked to say what I was trying to get across.
I credit a lot of my songwriting to two pretty different things: time spent in various choirs over the years, and the study of foreign languages. I've had so many wonderful teachers in both arenas. I'm kind of obsessed with vowel sounds and alliteration and how it affects imagery. I would be hard-pressed to write a poem, but combining words with music makes it easier for me to paint a picture. I see every song as having the potential to be a singular piece of art, both auditory and visual.
It's incredibly humbling to be a winner in the Zeitgeist song contest. I have such gratitude for all the musicians and my family and friends who have supported me on this musical journey. What an honor. This is great inspiration to keep composing.
Interview with Babatunde Lea & Steve Hirsh
Rhythm's Mama and Le Voyage, two bands that seek to raise the spirits and defy conventional notions of genres, will come together for performances this Sunday, Dec. 16 at Studio Z.
Rhythm's Mama is deeply embedded in the African roots of Cuba and beyond, playing Babatunde Lea's original compositions and jazz standards in the rhythms of the African diaspora. Le Voyage's music is composed in the moment, always aiming for the spirit that lies beneath the music.
We interviewed Babatunde Lea of Rhythm's Mama and Steve Hirsh of Le Voyage to find out more.
Questions for Babatunde Lea of Rhythm's Mama:
Tell us about your experiences with Cuban music.
I grew up in the New York City area and was exposed at early age to Afro-Cuban music and dance bands. I had nine aunts and they'd take me dancing. I knew how to mambo before I could walk. I started playing marching drums at age 11, congas at 13-14. A cousin who was 4-5 years older than me took me to NYC to see bands. I saw Babatunde Olatunji in 1959 and it blew my mind. That's when I decided I wanted to be a drummer, that that's how I wanted to live my life. Growing up in NYC, I saw everyone. Ray Baretto came to my high school and signed my conga. I saw Eddie and Charlie Palmieri, Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria. I haven't been to Cuba, but I am still deeply influenced by the music.
How does African culture influence your approach to jazz standards?
I was so exposed to Afro-based music that it is the foundation of whatever I play. I look for the African-ness in all my music, no matter who I'm working with. That's what I know. I've studied the traditions from Senegal, Cuba, Brazil, Mali. I play all kinds of percussion instruments, trap set, and bata. It's a no-brainer that I'm bringing that to my music. Because the music comes form the psyche of African-American people in this hemisphere, the music is already connected to Africa. The African-ness is already there in jazz; I just look for it.
Questions for Steve Hirsh of LeVoyage:
What is your approach to "composing in the moment."
We just play. Someone makes a sound, someone responds, and off we go. It's conversational--someone starts a conversation, and the rest of us chime in as we are moved to.
How does the group communicate during performance?
Primarily through sound. Personally, I play with my eyes closed most of the time, so visual cues wouldn't be much use. But we are paying close attention to what each other is saying on their instrument and the communication happens through what we play (or don't play) in response to what we're hearing.
In what ways do you bring out the spirit that lies beneath the music?
There are lots of different ways to make music. What we refer to as musical genres or styles is about applying a set of rules to sound--rules about rhythm, pitch, harmony, rules about instrumentation, rules about who plays what and when. But all good music is about using those conventions to express feelings, to communicate something about who we are, to play the story of our lives. Some people think that free improvised music has no rules, but it's the opposite--we use all the rules. We just don't confine ourselves to any one set of rules. So, the musicians bring all their musical experience to the table, their experiences with all the different kinds of music they've absorbed, and their life experiences. The goal is to use all the tools available to us to express ourselves, to share our love with each other and with the audience. And to me, that's the spirit behind all music.

Jenny Klukken's Marimba Songs
Jenny Klukken and special musical guests will present an evening of marimba-centered music inspired by classical, Latin, jazz, and American folk music on Friday, Dec. 7 at Studio Z. Jenny's compositions and arrangements give a new voice to the modern marimba, an otherwise classical/repertoire-based instrument, and leave room for improvisation and free-play.
In the spring of 2018, Jenny Klukken traveled to Paris to study marimba, composition, and improvisation with Eric Sammut, and to compose works for marimba that incorporated her unique approach to the instrument. The Studio Z performance will premiere works she composed in Paris, plus various works that have been collectively arranged by Jenny Klukken and guest musicians Robert Everest (guitar/vocals), Michael Bissonette (percussion), and The OK Factor (violin: Karla Colahan, cello: Olivia Diercks). We interviewed Jenny to learn more about the new works and her artistic background and inspirations.
Where do you find inspiration for your unique style of marimba composition?
I played the piano as a child and studied classical percussion in college. I discovered the marimba when I was a freshmen in college and it became clearer to me throughout my schooling that it was my main instrument. It wasn't until after college that I found myself wanting to compose for myself. I would search through repertoire, searching for inspiration for what to do next with my instrument. While I appreciated other marimbists' craft, none of the repertoire felt like something I was compelled to play myself. I never formally studied composition, but have been writing songs and geeking-out about music theory since I was a kid. I grew up playing and listening to a lot of jazz, bluegrass, and gospel music, so writing and playing tunes instead of through-composed pieces has always felt like home. I hesitate to call myself a full-on jazz musician, but more of a jazz/world/classical/cross-over instrumentalist and composer (though that is much more of a mouthful, isn't it?).
How are you able to incorporate other genres into your compositions while keeping your own unique voice and style?
I most often find my compositions sounding like Latin, American folk, and/or jazz music. The last two are pretty unusual to find a marimba in, which is fun to play with. I love to pull rhythmic ideas from these genres while interjecting passages that could only be pulled off by a marimba. The years in college I spent practicing four-mallet permutation exercises will pop up into something that otherwise sounded very non-classical. I think it is fun to write music that doesn't completely slip into one genre and to balance the line between sounding extremely rehearsed and improvisational. I constantly aim to be able to improvise on the marimba with the same virtuosity
Tell us about your experience studying with Eric Sammut in Paris.
I received the "Next Step" grant last year from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Center to travel to Paris and study marimba, composition, and improvisation with Eric Sammut for one month. If you don't know Eric Sammut, he is a pillar of the marimba world; a phenomenal composer and performer who first became widely known in the early 90's, and one of the only improvising marimbists I know. I rented a small flat in Paris (with just enough room for a 5 octave marimba) that was walking distance to Eric's home. Twice a week, Eric would meet me there for a 2+ hour lesson. Most marimbists know that Eric is an extraordinary player and composer, but I soon learned that he is also an incredibly kind, humble, and generous person. Lessons alternated between improvisation exercises and workshopping compositions. Our time usually ended with espresso and chats about Eric's interesting life and inspirational approach to music and the marimba. I have always had to translate conversations about accompanying and soloing through my marimba lenses, and this was the first time I talked to someone who had explored the marimba's capabilities in a jazz ensemble setting. His thoughts about voicing chords, arranging, and soloing according to the marimba's timbre were groundbreaking for me. Outside of practicing and composing, I spent my time exploring Paris.
How did you go about collectively arranging pieces with the five guest musicians?
I've played with all of these musicians before, but pairs of them have never performed with each other. It was helpful to have a musical history with them all as I began writing for each of them specifically. All of the pieces that we're playing on December 7th are written as charts, save one through-composed piece I wrote last spring. I started getting ready for a concert like this while I was in Paris and spent hours writing out through-composed charts for everyone. Once I got into my first rehearsal with this music, it was very clear to me that this room of musicians (including myself) was going to function better off of charts. I feel more at home reading charts rather than composed parts, and I also enjoy hearing musicians put their own personal touches on my ideas. I am very happy with where these pieces ended up. I enjoy the thrill of not knowing exactly how everything is going to go: how my cadenza might end up, when a new burst of energy will arise, or when there might be a musical shift between players. I think the classical marimba world could use more of this; more free-playing and making music for the moment. This is where I have found my voice as a musician, and I look forward to sharing it with everyone at Studio Z that night.

Ian Ethan Case's Photon Symphony
Boston-based acoustic double-neck guitarist and composer Ian Ethan Case is quickly becoming recognized as "one of the most creative and engaging fingerstyle guitarists in the world" (International Center for Creativity.) His latest live project, PORTALS, will be presented at Studio Z on Sunday, Nov. 11. PORTALS expands on Case's creativity in the form of his "Photon Symphony," an intricate system of synchronized projections which enable a large cast of musicians to virtually join him on stage in a unique blend of virtual reality and live performance.
Inspired in part by his many performances in the Boston Museum of Science planetarium, the PORTALS project was primarily born out of Case's newest album Earth Suite, which features twelve musicians from all over the globe and combines elements of Arabic, flamenco, jazz, classical, and Brazilian music with the energetic minimalism and rhythmic sophistication Case is becoming known for. "A lot of the musicians on the album, and really a lot of musicians today period, are simply not in a position to go on tour for several months at a time, and even if they were, we're just not at a level yet where we could afford to bring 12 musicians on the road. But I really wanted people to hear these incredibly unique, one-of-a-kind instrumentalists, and I also really want people to hear these songs the way they're meant to be heard, with the full orchestration."
Case's wife, live sound and electronics specialist Stephanie Case, has for years played a crucial role in bringing to life concerts that, in terms of scope, significantly exceed expectations for a solo performance. "For the past several years we've really tried to stretch the solo format as far as possible, and Stephanie has taken live looping and live sound design to the next level in an effort to communicate these songs as fully as we could. But the newer songs really demand the unique qualities of the specific musicians on the album, and we were hungry to break out of the looping box entirely. The constraints we were faced with ended up leading us to this whole new concept for what a live concert experience can be."

Interview with Pianist Matthew Bengtson
Visiting artist Matthew Bengtson will present a solo piano recital at Studio Z on Sunday, Nov. 4th featuring new works by Evan Chambers, Marcus Blunt, Jennifer Higdon, Ron Thomas, and Chiayu Hsu in addition to Debussy's Preludes Book II in honor of the 100th anniversary of the composer's death. We interviewed Bengtson to learn more about him and his concert program.
Your concert at Studio Z will feature new works for piano plus Debussy Preludes. Tell us a bit about the new works you're performing. Have you had a chance to work with any of the composers?
Let me begin by describing the program of new works. I know and have worked with all these composers.
I am opening with "torn" by Evan Chambers. Evan is on our composition faculty at Michigan. This piece was one of a group of compositions commissioned to commemorate the early passing of William Albright, a brilliant composer and a mentor and friend of Chambers, among others. Albright had a Jekyll-and-Hyde-like personality; he could be very sweet, caring and warm, but he could also be irrational, confrontational, and nasty. Especially in his later years, he descended into alcoholism, which may have caused, and certainly exacerbated this split personality. This extremely violent piece, with a heart-rending middle section, is quite vivid in depicting both this torn personality, and our attempts to deal with his life or his premature death. I promise that this piece will get everyone's attention!
The next pieces are a group of miniatures by English composer Marcus Blunt. Marcus and I met digitally (though not yet in person) through our mutual interest in Scriabin, and the many elements of Scriabin's harmonic language. It uses the piano's resonance in an attractive way. The fantasy on the name of Gabriel Fauré takes as a melodic line the musical letters of Fauré's name. It's one of several Blunt compositions governed by this principle. Both it and the Nocturnes have their moments of drama, but they will be heard in this program as a lyrical counterpart to the Chambers opening salvo. These are my first performances of Blunt's music.
Jennifer Higdon's Notes of Gratitude was commissioned for a concert "Notes of Thanks" on the occasion of Linda Reichert's retirement from many years of directing Philadelphia's distinguished "Network for New Music" ensemble. Reichert was among the first to commission Higdon (and numerous other commissions were to follow). This relationship could be seen as the beginning of Higdon's distinguished career. In "Notes of Gratitude" the piano is divided into two instruments, one sounding conventional, resonant triadic sounds, and second giving a percussive sound given by stopped notes in the middle register. The piece has an aura of festivity and also one of sadness, reflecting that this chapter has come to a close. I gave the premiere of the work last April and will not forget the lively time we spent working on the piece.
Ron Thomas is a distinguished Classical and jazz pianist, and Classical and jazz composer, teacher and improviser from the Philadelphia area. His Classical training led to training under Stockhausen, but Thomas found a new direction in his encounter with Bill Evans, Miles Davis, and the jazz tradition. These Five Pieces for Piano are attractive pieces written in the manner of late-Romantic piano miniatures as by Brahms or Liszt, with some crossing into a popular idiom. In a number of these pieces, Thomas delights in exploring the tensions between chromatic voices, leading us to ever unexpected tonal regions. The conclusions of these pieces arise from their harmonic and dramatic logic, but they typically come as surprises nonetheless.
Chiayu Hsu is a Taiwanese-American composer on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire. I heard her Rhapsody-Toccata on an extraordinary recording at the International Conference of the College Music Society in Sydney, Australia. The performance was effective, but since the recording suffered from poor audio, I was interested to take up the piece, so I could give an audience a live experience of the work in the danger of live performance (and live performance IS dangerous in this piece!). The piece is an attempt to combine two pianistic virtuoso styles: the brilliant, fast-driving toccata style, and the Gershwinesque free, rhapsodic style. The piece is a great deal of fun and full of charm, even a little quixotic, but it is also extremely difficult. It will bring this part of the recital to an exciting close!
I learned the Debussy Preludes Book II as part of a semester's focus on Debussy at Michigan. I'll be playing this set at three other venues this fall. Debussy is likely the most important father of 20th and 21st century musical styles, always questioning traditions and exploring many fresh new ideas. He made possible many stylistic breakthroughs. This second book of Preludes represented a turn towards his later style, in which his more familiar "Impressionism" meets the Stravinsky style of Petrushka. There are various threads of connection one might find between Debussy and the other part of the recital. For example, there are the crosses between traditional art music and vernacular music, such as we find in Chambers, Thomas and Hsu in particular. In just this collection of Preludes, Debussy borrows from cakewalk in "General Lavine" and from the habanera in "La Puerta del Vino." He quotes excerpts from a Brahms Liebeslieder Waltz, from "The Rite of Spring," from a children's song "Au clair de la lune," from "God Save the Queen," and even the "Marseillaise." Debussy perfected the art of the inconclusive ending, reflecting the symbolist's credo of suggesting and evoking, rather than explicitly describing. You can hear the influence in Blunt and Thomas especially.
You are composer in addition to being a pianist. How does your work as a composer inform your compositions, and how does your experience as a performer inform your composing?
I am no longer an active composer, but from my experience, I understand the struggle to notate on paper the kind of gesture one makes on the piano. Notation can't capture all the nuances of a musical performance. Composers usually want us performers to respect and examine, and then go beyond the notation to create something fresh. I especially enjoy the opportunity to work with composers, as I have on this program. I like the opportunity to engage with them about what they are trying to achieve in their music. That frees me to go beyond the notation and gives me full confidence to communicate their vision.
Anything else you would like to add about yourself or your concert?
About myself, I would just say that I'm an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, and Dance, where I teach courses and seminars in Piano Literature, studio piano, and also historical performance on early keyboard instruments. I'm best known as an interpreter of Scriabin and Szymanowski, and my outside interests include golf, tennis, chess, and go.

Interview on Rimon Artist Salon with Lisa Gutkin
Rimon: The Minnesota Jewish Arts Council, an initiative of the Minneapolis Jewish Federation, will present Lisa Gutkin (composer, multi-instrumentalist, and violinist in The Klezmatics) at Studio Z on Oct. 24 for a first hearing of her music-theater work-in-progress, "The Trail Forward," as part of the Rimon Artis Salon series. We interviewed David Harris, Rimon Executive Director, to find out more about the series and Lisa Gutkin.
What is the Rimon Artist Salon series, and how long have you been doing it?
Amazingly this is the 12th year of the series. The Salons began as a way to explore how artists interpret or come to terms with the world that we all live in. What are their methods to grapple with an idea? How do they develop their art work? What inspires it? What technologies do they use? Different Salons generate different questions, of course. There have been forty-five Salons to date, investigating dance, photography, slam poetry, popular music, puppetry, glass arts, fiction, multimedia installation, film, architecture, theater, painting, video, non-fiction, and interdisciplinary work too. It turns out that the arts-loving public is hungry for these intimate conversations. I call it "lifting the veil."
How is this different from an artist's talk?
It's meant to be a dialogue, not an information dump. One or two artists present some of their work, and a dialogue partner (aka moderator) starts to stir the conversational pot with them. The Salons are always built around an idea and are meant to be public conversations in which everyone in the room walks out having learned something, including the artists. The format is simple and dynamic, and the audience plays a big role in the conversation. I like to say that the best idea in the room is usually sitting in the audience.
Tell us about Lisa Gutkin and how you became familiar with her work.
I first encountered Lisa Gutkin in her work as the violinist in the amazing band The Klezmatics. They've performed in the Twin Cities a lot over the years. Few bands have had the staying power and enduring creativity of this ensemble. Then I started hearing about a remarkable theater piece in New York called Indecent. Everyone seemed to be blown away by the show. Lisa had created the music for it. When the Guthrie did its wonderful production of Indecent last winter, Lisa played in the show along with two other great musicians: Pat O'Keefe and Spencer Chandler. The music provided some of the most memorable moments of the evening for me and was brilliantly integrated into the flow of the show. Later in the year I met Lisa at Spencer's home and found out that she would be back in Minnesota in October. That brings us to the present moment.
What is the story behind "The Trail Forward"?
This is a very personal project for Lisa and is very much in development—a work-in-progress. Its working title is "The Trail Forward," and it's about growing up with eighty-five Jewish, outdoor-loving, garment worker, leftist grandparents. It delves into the multilingual, politically radical village assembled by these immigrants who were mostly Eastern European Jews. The community's evolution over time has become a metaphor for their assimilation into American life. Lisa is terrifically excited to get her musical ideas and some of the show's characters in front of an audience to see what's working or what could work better.
So what's the idea in this Salon that you referred to?
Music has the power to reflect and ignite change in the culture. Artists have a role to play in shaping the world, and we all need to get busy.

How to install Ubuntu on usb flash drive?
Installing Ubuntu and it's derivatives using LiveUSB Install is super easy.
FAT32 formatted USB Flash Drive or External Disk with at least one FAT32 partition, big enough to hold the contents of the ISO file (2GB or more is recommended).
Start by downloading and starting the appropriate version of LiveUSB Install for your operating system.
If you are a Windows user, you just have to download and start the exe file. The windows version is portable.
Note for Windows users: Some antivirus programs might report the program as potentially dangerous / generic threat. This is a false positive, caused by the compression/self extract algorithms that the portable version uses. You can submit the file to VirusTotal to verify it's safety.
If you are Ubuntu / Debian (or their derivatives) user, you can install the .deb file.
Download and extract the tar.gz package somewhere in your home folder, and then start live-usb-install.py (make sure you have all dependencies installed first).
The next steps are the same for both Linux and Windows users.
If you already have downloaded the Ubuntu Live CD ISO file, select "ISO Image" (if not selected already), click the button on the right, and select the ISO file.
If you don't have the ISO file, select "Internet".
The next step is to select the distribution and version.
Select Ubuntu from the "Distribution" dropdown menu, and the desired version from the "Version" dropdown ("16.04 – amd64" in this case).
Next, plug in and mount your flash or external disk drive, and click the refresh button in the "Install to" section.
You should see its partitions in the dropdown. Usually, if you are using flash drive, there is only one partition, and it's already selected.
Optional: If you want to have all the benefits of Ubuntu Live CD, but also be able to keep your settings after reboot, check "Persistent documents and settings", and select the desired persistent file size (make sure you have enough space on the drive). Recommended – at least 512MB.
This mode will create additional file, named "casper-rw", and all changes you make during Live CD session will be saved inside it.
To boot in persistent mode, make sure you have selected the "Start Ubuntu (persistent)" option from the boot menu. If you select "Start Ubuntu", the distribution will start in the default live mode, ignoring all saved settings (without deleting them).
Click the OK button, sit back and relax.
It usually takes just couple of minutes if you already have the ISO file, but it depends on the write speed of your drive.

Q: Salesforce login Organization behind proxy I am trying to connect to SalesForce using python and Simple Salesforce. My goal is to find something equivalent to the command line command - sfdx force:auth:web:login -r $url in python and obtain access token via custom domain. I run this command after specifying the proxy variables in command line by exporting http_proxy and https_proxy.
So far looking through the examples and going through the documentations I could not find anything that would be able to get me the token. Any guidance on this would be appreciated. I can call sdfx process but I was wondering if there was a way to do this via python.

A: simple_salesforce does not provide most forms of OAuth authentication, like force:auth:web:login. The three ways to log in with simple_salesforce are:

*

*Provide your own access token, obtained through performing OAuth authentication elsewhere.

*Perform a SOAP login by providing a username, password, and security token (or other required parameters depending on your org's specific configuration).

*Use the JWT OAuth flow with a username and certificate.

Of the three, JWT is preferable when doing server-to-server integration, and SOAP login for interactive use at a console.

We have been looking at the SAP RK Invoice correction request order type to raise pricing related debits and credits.
We are trying to work out why SAP would allow a Qty change on the RK order. Is this being treated like Good will or what kind of posting is the aim of this? The way our pricing procedure works a quantity change would result in a Cost of Sales Copa posting but the actual GL or stock movement didn't occur so would not balance? Is this the same for others or how do you treat quantity postings in COPA Cost of Sales and GL Cost of Sales and Stock?
With the above in mind we would like to lock the quantity down as we only want to use RK for pricing corrections and not for quantity related queries. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I have tried used the copy control on the header of the RK to use a complete reference and I get an warning message when changing quantity and could use a user exit to make it to a error but rather try to use something more standard. It also prevents unchanged lines being subsequently deleted with the setting ticked.
Won't it be simpler if you make the field for quantity read-only in MV45AFZZ-USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION?

Catholic Nurses' Pension Fund Problems
by Bill Bartholomew
With a great deal of media and political attention surrounding the temporarily cooled Rhode Island and Hasbro Children's Hospitals UNAP strike, a recent episode of The Bartholomewtown Podcast that featured former Rhode Island Attorney General Arlene Violet reignited my attention on another ongoing healthcare workers' rights issue in Rhode Island: allegations that Bishop Tobin and The Catholic Diocese of Providence mismanaged the nurses' pension fund and could leave retirees, including some four-decade-long employees, in destitution at the end of their lives.
Ms. Violet, a former nun who is a pro bono attorney for many of the elderly retired nurses in this matter, displayed striking passion as she described a situation that she clearly identifies as unjust.
Arlene Violet: I remember when I was a young nun picketing with those nurses who were trying to start a union. But it's also very discouraging because I was a nun for 23 years and it's so discouraging to me to see how unjust The Catholic Church is in this situation. I mean, for example, these nurses worked for far less money (than if they had worked at public or private hospitals), as part of their vocation to earn less at a Catholic hospital. They were promised this pension. When Bishop Tobin got here 10 years ago, he gradually stopped giving the necessary contributions to that pension. Meanwhile, mailings would go out saying that everything was copacetic with the pension, until last August, (when) The Diocese had the pension file into receivership and said, 'Everybody should be cut 40%.' Now, I represent pro bono all of the the older people ages 75 to 99 years of age, who get an average pension of $750 per month with no cost of living increase. There's no way that you can cut them 40%!
The other part of it, Bill, is that the nurses were making a dollar an hour, so their social security check is de minimis. So here are people who have worked 40, 45 years of their lives, and they are faced with potentially going on welfare at the end of their lives, which is such an insult to them. It's very discouraging to me that The Diocese put them in this situation.
Bill Bartholomew (Motif): What is a way out at this point for The Diocese?
AV: (The Diocese) certainly has property. One of the counts in state courts alleged fraudulent conveyance, which means that (Bishop Tobin) sold off (Catholic) hospitals knowing that the pension funds would be hurt. But he did it anyway. (It also alleged) that they colluded with the people buying these hospitals to not fund the pension with some of the proceeds. So, if we prove fraudulent conveyance, the nurses own the hospitals. My clients, the bakers, the candlestick makers will end up owning those hospitals, which we can then sell to put the money back into the pension. That's the strongest argument that we have.
Ms. Violet went on to say that the nurses might not be the only Catholic workers whose pensions may be in jeopardy, with teachers and other education workers potentially heading for a similar situation.
AV: What's awful now is what may be happening to the teachers who are in the Catholic school system, and all of the janitors, all the people who work for The Diocese. That hasn't been officially announced, but it would be a darn shame if they take a hit like this as well. There's no reason for it! It's an issue of priorities, and the priorities of this Bishop have been totally off-base as far as I'm concerned.
A call to Bishop Tobin's office was not returned in time for publication of this article. Look for additional pieces on this topic in Motif as the situation surrounding the Catholic workers' pension fiasco continues to expand.

Certainly, no one enjoys living in a dirty home, but some products that same company sells contain high amounts of toxic chemicals harmful to children, sensitive adults, and pets…hardly the "healthy lifestyle" its customers are bargaining for. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside most homes is around two to five times more polluted than the air outside, and that pollution is the direct result of household cleaners and pesticides.
David and Cindy Bearman first became interested in green cleaning products as she was battling breast cancer 11 years ago. What began as a lifestyle decision eventually inspired a business model, and they decided to start their own green cleaning company, Green Darlene, in 2008.
Green Darlene crews bring their own specialized equipment and cleansers to each home, so a customer doesn't have to invest in new products, or buy an expensive vacuum cleaner, to get effective, efficient service.
The company provides an almost unheard-of flexibility to its customers. Are you hosting a party, and just need someone to tidy up before or after? No problem! Moving out, and have bigger things to worry about than cleaning your old apartment? No problem!
Call Green Darlene, and it will provide a free in-home consultation to discuss your options. Services are flexible as well.
Of course, you should consider other factors when trusting a company to come into your home. You want a company that performs thorough background checks on everyone it hires. You want a one with its own insurance and workers comp, so, for example, you're not liable for injury when it's on your property. You want a company that doesn't require a lengthy service contract.
Thankfully, Green Darlene is all these things, and also is very passionate about the work it does.
For more information, or to get a free estimate, call Green Darlene.


Thank you for having the photos of the real brides wearing products. It helped me so much in deciding which hair piece to buy as it is so much better seeing it actually worn! I thought I would supply you with my own photo of the Precious Extravagance Side Tiara I wore.

Born and raised in Japan, Akiko Sanai began learning and playing the piano from the age of 6. She has studied piano performance with Paul Lyddon, a retired University of Hawaii Music Department Professor. She is a board member of Honolulu Piano Teachers Association and an active member of the Music Teachers National Association. Akiko began teaching piano in 2004 and has shared her knowledge of music for the past 11 years.
Akiko teaches from two studios conveniently located in Honolulu, one in Kaimuki and the other in Hawaii Kai. Each studio is equipped with a Grand Piano. Akiko's love of the piano has compelled her to invest in world renown pianos; her studios contain a Steinway, a Bosendorfer and a Samick Grand Piano. Akiko admits that it's a bit unusual for students to learn on the such expensive Grand Pianos but adds that the students enjoy them very much.
Akiko performs throughout Honolulu and at her students recitals. She often collaborates with other musicians who play traditional Japanese instruments such as Koto, Shamisen or Shakuhachi. In addition to the piano, Akiko plays the traditional Japanese flute "Ryuteki" and is a Gagaku Society of Hawaii member.
Her students are encouraged to perform at recitals twice a year. Some of her students go on to perform at the state competition. Students are also encouraged to take the exam provided by Royal Conservatory Music Development Program.

An ideal IoT application technology would satisfy the following goals:

*   Flexible enough to be considered relatively "future-proof"
*   Automatable without requiring extra hardware or internet access
*   Defined as an open standard with at least one open-source
    reference implementation
*   Simple enough that can be implemented on highly-constrained devices
*   Secure, honoring the principle of least privilege.
*   Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial environments
*   Include proper support for groups, scenes, and smooth transitions (where
    appropriate)

Splot is an exploratory attempt to bridge these requirements into a single
cohesive technology and application protocol with the following goals:

*   Secure, low-latency monitoring and control of (potentially
    constrained) networked devices
*   Elegant support for scenes, groups/rooms, and smooth transitions
*   Expressive and reliable device-to-device automation

In addition satisfying these goals, the [SOM][] was designed, to the extent
practical, to express a superset of functionality commonly provided
by other existing IoT protocols, making it reasonably efficient to
monitor and control non-SOM-based using a SOM-based API. This
feature allows for the straightforward implementation of adaptation
layers and enables cross-protocol automation.

[SOM]: ./som/intro.md

<!--
One of the key design mandates of Splot is that IoT device software
should not have to know anything about other IoT devices in order to
be configured to usefully interact with them. Splot delegates that
job of to the *management application*.

For advanced users and professionals, Splot devices can be configured
manually (by hand) using the appropriate low-level utility applications.
However, most users will use a *management application* (either on a
smart phone or via the cloud) to commission, configure, monitor and
control Splot devices.

From a construction firm to a stock exchange, every organisation depends on large databases. These are essentially collections of tables, and' connected with each other through columns. These database systems support SQL, the Structured Query Language, which is used to create, access and manipulate the data. SQL is used to access data, and also to create and exploit the relationships between the stored data. Additionally, these databases support database normalisation rules for avoiding redundancy of data. The Python programming language has powerful features for database programming. Python supports various databases like MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, PostgreSQL, etc. Python also supports Data Definition Language (DDL), Data Manipulation Language (DML) and Data Query Statements. For database programming, the Python DB API is a widely used module that provides a database application programming interface.
Programming in Python is arguably more efficient and faster compared to other languages.
Python is famous for its portability.
In many programming languages, the application developer needs to take care of the open and closed connections of the database, to avoid further exceptions and errors. In Python, these connections are taken care of.
Python database APIs are compatible with various databases, so it is very easy to migrate and port database application interfaces.
Python DB-API is independent of any database engine, which enables you to write Python scripts to access any database engine. The Python DB API implementation for MySQL is MySQLdb. For PostgreSQL, it supports psycopg, PyGresQL and pyPgSQL modules. DB-API implementations for Oracle are dc_oracle2 and cx_oracle. Pydb2 is the DB-API implementation for DB2. Python's DB-API consists of connection objects, cursor objects, standard exceptions and some other module contents, all of which we will discuss.
Connection objects create a connection with the database and these are further used for different transactions. These connection objects are also used as representatives of the database session.
BaseCursor is the base class for Cursor objects.
Cursor is the default cursor class. CursorWarningMixIn, CursorStoreResultMixIn, CursorTupleRowsMixIn, and BaseCursor are some components of the cursor class.
CursorStoreResultMixIn uses the mysql_store_result() function to retrieve result sets from the executed query. These result sets are stored at the client side.
CursorUseResultMixIn uses the mysql_use_result() function to retrieve result sets from the executed query. These result sets are stored at the server side.
The following example illustrates the execution of SQL commands using cursor objects. You can use execute to execute SQL commands like SELECT. To commit all SQL operations you need to close the cursor as cursor.close().
Exception handling is very easy in the Python DB-API module. We can place warnings and error handling messages in the programs. Python DB-API has various options to handle this, like Warning, InterfaceError, DatabaseError, IntegrityError, InternalError, NotSupportedError, OperationalError and ProgrammingError.
If this command runs successfully, you can now start writing scripts for your database.
…where host is the name of your host machine, followed by the username and password. In case of the root, there is no need to provide a password.
In this example, the fetchall() function is used to fetch the result sets.
We can perform all SQL operations with Python DB-API. Insert, delete, aggregate and update queries can be illustrated as follows.
I hope you'll now enjoy the power of Python for database programming!

Who made us what we are? I don't know, but I find it to be an interesting topic to explore.
The source of our creation.
the result of any action.
and broke the chain of predictability.
free from the burden of seeing it all.
in a divine reality show?
I find the simpler, sparer language of this rewrite a considerable improvement on the earlier draft. Good job on the revision, I say! Do note that line 4 needs "sees."
Powerful and challenging thoughts. Keep them coming.
I enjoyed this peice of work. It made me think about the bible a lot. Keep up good works.


Sometimes at the end of one of my workshops or seminars, I'm asked, "What's your favourite comedy?" I find that an almost impossible question to answer. How can I select just one? I love comedy, I love comedians, I love great writing—there are literally dozens I can watch and enjoy over and over again.
A delicious premise, great supporting cast, and the best Bill Murray performance until St. Vincent. And let's not forget about the late, great Harold Ramis' brave direction. He helped give the movie heart, and when he refused to cut the "Old Man Dying" sequence, gave it soul as well.
Some people feel that Wes Anderson is an acquired taste. Well, acquire it, already! This stylish, deceptively thoughtful confection features a star-studded panoply of great comic performances: Ralph Fiennes, Harvey Keitel, Adrian Brody, Willem Defoe, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldblum. What starts as a light, delicious fairy tale evolves into an intricate, multi-layered, bittersweet romance of love lost and found and a world found and lost. And the best score of the year.
OK, I couldn't narrow it down to just one Woody Allen, but these three stand out above all the rest. Annie Hall and Manhattan broke new ground and often broke our hearts, while Sleeper just split our sides. Classic moment: Woody and the giant bag of cocaine.
Yes, Bowfinger. Maybe not as funny as The Jerk or as romantic as L.A. Story or Roxanne, but in its own way it was the ultimate romantic comedy: a daffy valentine to actors, writers, directors, producers, and anyone who ever aspired to any of those roles. That being said, an honourable mention has to go to Waiting for Guffman.
Forget the film of the musical. This is prime, rude and funny Mel Brooks, with a pitch-perfect performance by Gene Wilder and the gargantuan talent of the late, great Zero Mostel. Best moment: as the chorus belts out, "Springtime for Hitler," the camera pans an audience full of slack-jawed New Yorkers, frozen in horror and disbelief.
Who doesn't love Bob and Bing and the Road movies? Utopia finds our boys in Alaska (how prescient) and is full talking bears, talking fish, and the best sight gags, ad-libs and asides of the series. That sound you hear is the fourth wall being constantly broken, as our lovable rogues seem to talk to us more than they do the other characters.
Charlie and the age of Industry, as he is literally swallowed by the assembly line and spit out, a bit worse for wear but still full of pluck and hope.
More than a brilliant series of sketches, Brian is a brilliant, complete film, with a coda that captures in a song the entire meaning of comedy and meaning of life.
OK, so that's ten, but already I'm despondent over the exclusion of James Brooks' masterful, funny and touching Broadcast News; Ben Stiller's acid love letter to the Industry, Tropic Thunder; Danny Kaye's The Court Jester: (Kaye: "But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?" Mildred Natwick: "No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!"); Hugh Grant in the best romantic comedy between a grown man and a boy, About a Boy. . . .
And talking about romantic comedies, how the hell could I forget to include When Harry Met Sally? Or Big? Or Tootsie?
So, you see, the list goes on. You probably have a completely different list of 10. And you know what? You're right too. Let's watch 'em all!
