The legendary Hippodrome Theatre was designed by noted theatre architect Thomas Lamb for exhibitors Pearce and Scheck. It was constructed on the site of the old Eutaw House, a luxury hotel built in 1835. The Hippodrome opened on November 23, 1914 as a movie palace that also showcased vaudeville performances. The theatre seated 3,000 and in 1920 the average weekly attendance was 30,000. Sound for the movies was provided by piano, a Moller organ commissioned for the theatre, and an orchestra. The Hippodrome was part of the Loew's Theatre chain from 1917 until 1924, when it became part of the Keith chain. New management in 1931 installed a huge new marquee and other facelift items such as new seats. In 1931 the Hippodrome had 3 price levels – 25 cents before noon, 35 cents between noon and 6 pm, and 50 cents after 6 pm. Under the management of Isidor M. Rappaport, which began in 1931, the Hippodrome gained a reputation as a top vaudeville house, presenting such notables as Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Red Skelton, Benny Goodman and his orchestra, Dinah Shore, Martha Raye, Milton Berle, the Andrews Sisters and Morey Amsterdam during Rappaport's 30-year tenure. It was in The Hippodrome Theatre that Frank Sinatra first appeared with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and in 1939 with Harry James' band. Movies were combined with vaudeville entertainment through 1950. The Hippodrome Theatre was one of the first stages to present Vaudeville and motion pictures and maintained a house orchestra at the theatre well into the 1950's.
Business remained strong from the 30's through the 1950's with the last stage shows presented around 1959. Another major renovation occurred in 1963 in preparation for the regional premiere of "Cleopatra". In 1969 the Hippodrome was the site of the world premiere of "Slaves". Business dropped off during the 70's and 80's, and the Hippodrome closed in 1990, when it was the last operating movie theatre in downtown Baltimore.
Now the curtain rises again at The France-Merrick Performing Arts Center at the Hippodrome. This is the culmination of a construction and restoration project that transforms and combines three significant historic buildings and one newly constructed building into a state-of-the-art showcase. These landmarks are the Western National Bank built in 1887, the Eutaw Savings Bank built in 1888, the Hippodrome Theatre, and a new building at the corner of Baltimore and Eutaw Streets. Programming at this world-class venue will include touring Broadway shows and the best of the performing arts.

When it comes to sports games, the period between mid-July and mid-October is make-or-break time. Titles appear for college and pro football, hockey, and (usually) pro basketball. For years pucksters and hoopsters also had the option of playing several pure arcade versions of their favorite sports on home consoles. Last year that list expanded to include the NFL; as everyone awaited the appearance of NFL Blitz, NFL Xtreme popped on the scene. Although the game had its fans, most people saw it as a pale imitation of Blitz, a modified Gameday that sought to cash in on the unsuspecting. Now 989 Studios has had a year to reflect on that experience and to ponder what niche would be filled by a revised and updated version of Xtreme . . . and (surprise!) the result is NFL Xtreme2.
After the usual FMV introduction featuring hard hits (taking out sideline cameras as well as opponents), a series of on-screen menus featuring reds, yellows, and golds outlines the numerous options open to the player. No problem here (although some of the illustrations on the loading screens suggests that the boys at 989 Studios need to go out once in a while). The players and playing fields deserve a closer look. As one might expect, the players are a bit over-the-top in physical stature and development; the uniforms are fine (no names on the jerseys), with thigh pads and other protective equipment visible underneath (and, in the case of shoulder pads, visible as a result of a torn jersey). The animations are acceptable (and there are many more post-whistle activities, as players taunt, flex, pose, or whatever). Press turbo, and the player leaves a streak of flame in his wake; other button combinations will lead to flips, spins, stiff arms, swim moves, jumps, and so on. Sometimes players take their helmets off, although the face underneath does not always resemble the player in question. In short, look for slightly-improved Gameday 99 players who are pumped up to play. User-controlled players are denoted by a series of concentric circles and an arrow--the result looked a little bit like the Dreamcast icon.
The fields and stadia are less distinguished. All stadia bear no more than a fleeting resemblance to their real-life counterparts; at least one can tell the difference between artificial turf and grass. Rain and snow are done well (although fields do not deteriorate); there's a down marker that does not give way when hit by a player (ouch!). At the end of plays, the field often undulates, as if the contest is taking place on a waterbed. Odd.
Mediocre. The pasting together of phrases from sound bites to sentences is too clumsy and halting; the announcer does little to personalize the game or to inject much enthusiasm. The sound effects are adequate; the in-game and menu music rather bland. In a game that depends so much on booming noises and music to help create an environment and an experience to fire players up, these shortcomings are especially serious.
The pregame menus are easy to understand; so are the in-game options brought up during a pause. However, something's badly wrong with the playcalling menu. You are allowed to choose one of six "books"; in each "book" there are six plays. On offense the "books" resemble sets; on defense . . . who can tell? In any case, players are going to have to invest time in looking through plays to see what works.
The controllers are rather straightforward. One can do well enough with command of only a few buttons, and of course some of what's there is for flair more than anything else. Indeed, one can survive for a while on offense by pressing X to snap the ball, then any of the other right buttons (triangle, circle, square) to allow the CPU to hit an open receiver . . . or hit X a second time to bring up the passing icons, then hit the button linked to the receiver of choice. While the former sounds sooo easy, be aware that the CPU often selects the safety valve, and not much happens. You can simply hit circle for a "special move" or hit the triggers for stiff arms, turbos, and breaking tackles.
There are an assortment of in-game cameras: some offer a close-in view, others help quarterbacks look downfield.
For many players, the big question is whether NFL Xtreme2 provides a viable alternative to NFL Blitz. The odds are that most people will find that it falls short, lacking the pizazz of Blitz (let alone Blitz 2). However, the big problem may be that Xtreme2 is not so much Blitz as a compromise between Blitz and Gameday in its easier versions. For those unfamiliar with the game, players take control of NFL teams and play 5-on-5, up and down an 80-yard gridiron. One of the game's quirks is that first downs are scored at 20-yard intervals on the field, so one can start a series anywhere between first and 1 to first and 20. The game relies on passing; somehow receivers always wiggle open (unless you level them first). You may make multiple forward passes, although only one may cross the line of scrimmage. Playing good defense presents a challenge. NFL Xtreme2 includes options for substitutions and injuries, enriching the mix a bit. Other game options allow players to vary several aspects of gameplay and keep user and season records. One can play a simple exhibition game, a season, the playoffs, or a tournament.
Unlike Blitz, NFL Xtreme2 attempts to incorporate several aspects of team management: a player draft, creating players, signing free agents, trades, and so on. With Blitz, you are stuck with certain teams' personnel and style of play; I prefer my Giants to feature a wide-open passing offense, something that requires several visits to the player creation screen. And yet NFL Xtreme2 could have been a deeper game. Had the playbooks been better organized, for example, or team-specific (or constructed according to player preferences), players could have employed contrasting styles; even better would have been a play design editor.
What I appreciate most about the game is the lack of CPU cheating--a characteristic of Blitz as one progresses through a season or past the rest of the teams. That's a cheap way to maintain competitive juices.
However, one's enjoyment of the game also depends (at least in one-player mode) on the level of difficulty chosen. Easy is simply too easy; I rolled through a playoff year with a limited number of offensive plays (mostly long passes) while letting the CPU manage a man-to-man defense. Even when my receivers appeared to be covered, they buttonhooked to gobble up bullet passes, leaving defenders looking at their backs.
For some people it will be the trash talk and other after-the-whistle activity that will attract them to the title . . . but not for long. Sometimes the taunts are rather ill-timed in the context of game situations; other times they seem stupid. The repetition will grow old and stale. In short, even those people who like that sort of thing will not like it here.
Perhaps the best way to look at NFL Xtreme2 is as a variant of arena football--sometimes fun, a bit like a pickup game, but not to be confused with either the real sport or the insanity that is Blitz.
Along with three levels of difficulty, the player can make things easier or harder by relying on one-button CPU-determined passing or calling up the icons; game speed is adjustable, with faster speeds placing more emphasis on reaction time. It's fair to say that it is a playable game without becoming too difficult.
Even on its own merits, NFL Xtreme2 falls short of providing a truly satisfying experience, despite the team management options. Not that it is a bad game: it's just missing something. Playing it can be fun but does not leave you with the sort of buzz that a session with Blitz creates. And this game is doomed to be compared with Blitz--although Blitz would do well to pick up on some of the features of this game.

Q: Drag 2 Google Maps Markers at the same time I found a few articles online and a few posts on stack overflow that explain how to select multiple markers, but I have not been able to find anything that works for dragging 2 markers at the same time. I've been able to make it work in a way that allows 1 marker to fire an event on it's sibling and drag the related marker, but somehow it stops the dragging event on the marker that I clicked on.
I can't use complex polygons because it's not possible to change the color of only one path on a complex marker svg. I have to create 2 svgs, one for the center fill and the other for the outer fill and then I have to change the color of the outer fill.
This is how that works.
First I create the markers and then place them in the same location.
Then I pass those markers into this function.
addMultiMarkerListener:function(id, outer, inner){
    var arr = ['mousedown', 'mouseup', 'click','mouseover','mouseout', 'dragend','drag','dragstar'];
    var evtArr = {}
        _.each(arr, function(evt){
            evtArr[evt] = {};
            evtArr[evt][id] = false;

            outer.addListener(evt, function(){
                if(!evtArr[evt][id]){
                    evtArr[evt][id] = true;
                    google.maps.event.trigger(inner, evt);
                    evtArr[evt][id] = false

                }

            })

            inner.addListener(evt, function(){
                 if(!evtArr[evt][id]){
                    evtArr[evt][id] = true;
                    google.maps.event.trigger(outer, evt);
                    evtArr[evt][id] = false
                }
            })
        })

    },

I want this to be able to trigger the mousedown event for both markers so that when I click down, I can drag both of these markers at the same time. The way it works now, stops the first mousedown event when I fire the mousedown event on the sibling marker.
I was also thinking that I could fire a separate event that wouldn't interfere with the first. It might take a little bit of deep thought, but I think I can make it work. I was just hoping that someone else might be able to provide some insight on this.

A: I solved the problem. Instead of firing two mousedown events I decided to get the position of the first marker on the drag event, and then set the position of the 2nd marker to the position of the first. Like so.
  addDragListener: function(marker, id, centerMarker) {
        var self = this;
        var fill = centerMarker;

        marker.addListener('drag', function(){
            var position = marker.getPosition();
            fill.setPosition(position);

        })
  }

This Dively's Garage automotive safety warning is coming from a very unusual source: Alexandria fire fighting experts. You've probably heard of E85 gasoline. Some newer vehicle models sold in PA are specifically built to run on E85 – the rest are not.
E85 gasoline has been developed to fight air pollution and reduce oil consumption in PA. E85 fuel is a mix of 85% ethanol, a grain-base alcohol, and 15% gasoline. So-called Flex-Fuel vehicles are designed to use either normal gasoline or E85 gas. The result is lower harmful exhaust emissions in our Alexandria area environment.
All gas engines can run with up to 10% ethanol, and in fact a lot of Alexandria gasoline does contain some ethanol. The problem comes when well meaning Alexandria drivers without Flex-Fuel certified vehicles put E85 into the tank.
At an 85% concentration, the potential for problems arises. Because of the chemical differences between ethanol and gasoline, special seals and gaskets are needed for Flex-Fuel vehicles. In a normal engine, the ethanol in E85 gas will eat away important seals and gaskets. This leads to gas and oil leaks.
You can imagine the fire hazard caused by leaking gasoline. PA fire fighting experts caution Alexandria to only use E85 if they know their vehicle is certified to handle it.
In fact, service and repair center owners are being warned to purchase fire extinguishers that use the special foam needed to extinguish ethanol fires as a precaution in case starting up an ethanol damaged engine leads to a fire.
Obviously, this isn't something you want to have happen in your garage at home, either. If you have a Flex-Fuel certified vehicle, feel free to protect the environment by using E85 gasoline. If not, please do not use E85 in an engine that's designed to run on unleaded gasoline only. If you have questions or want to find out how to determine if your vehicle can safely use E85, go to www.e85fuel.com for more resources.

Search continues for missing teen from Lancaster
Light up a Life to honour loved ones at Morecambe's Winter Gardens
A woman from Garstang will be telling her story to encourage people to remember and honour loved ones this Christmas as part of the St John's Hospice annual Light up a Life campaign.

Morecambe Winter Gardens 'Light up a Life' to remember and honour loved ones.
Every Christmas, the trees in the gardens at the Lancaster hospice shine brightly with warm memories of the special people loved and missed as hundreds of people dedicate hundreds of lights to them over the festive period.
The Light up a Life services couldn't go ahead without the support of kind-hearted volunteers who give up their time to help out. One such person is Sandra Keeling from Garstang who will be speaking at the service at Morecambe's Winter Gardens on Friday November 30.
Sandra's husband Gordon passed away in St John's Hospice in May 2017. After seeing the care he received from everyone associated with the hospice, she knew she wanted to come back to volunteer and now helps out in the Courtyard Café each week.
She said: "This will be my first time at one of St John's Light up a Life services. I automatically said yes without giving it a thought when I was asked to say a few words… I might need a couple of sprays of rescue remedy before I start but I'm sure I'll be fine!
"Thanks to St John's', Gordon's last days were in wonderful surroundings and were pain free.
"We were able to stay with him around the clock and, in one sense it was lovely as he was so peaceful.
"Before Gordon's illness, we didn't know anything about St John's but our whole family was very quickly welcomed into their family and their care. There is truly no better place for love and support for your loved one, your family, and yourself than St John's Hospice."

In Text Messaging Can Help 200,000 More Students Enroll in College, we wrote about how "low-cost nudges" like text messages can have a significant impact on college enrollment among low-income high school students.
Columbia University professor Peter Bergman published a study in which sending regular information (via SMS, emails, and phone calls) to parents of middle and high school students in Los Angeles led to a 25% increase in homework completion. This in turn led to better test scores and GPAs.
Now, as reported by NPR's All Things Considered and Columbia's Teachers College Newsroom, Bergman and fellow TC researcher Eric Chan have released another study showing that SMS can serve as a low-cost nudge for parents, too.
So, what do parents need a nudge for, anyway? Well, there's plenty of research indicating that when parents get involved in their children's education, the kids are more successful in school.
Problem is, parents don't get involved as often as you might think. For example, in Kanawha County Schools—the West Virginia district Bergman and Chan studied—only 27% of parents had ever logged on to the learning management system to look at grades. That low involvement rate is typical across the board, Bergman said, and it leads parents to adopt biased beliefs about their kids.
According to NPR, many schools do have programs in place that attempt to leverage parental involvement and increase student performance. However, these programs are usually 1) expensive, 2) untested/unproven, and 3) targeted at younger student segments.
So, what's an affordable, effective, scalable way to keep parents involved with their kids' education from start to finish?
Bergman and Chan's research paired the district's learning management system with automated text messages called "parent alerts." In a randomized trial, they sent 32,472 text messages to parents with children in 22 different middle and high schools. Each treated family received an average of 52 messages.
The Columbia texting study had an impressively low price tag of $7–$10 per student, per year—"and that's if a district starts from scratch," All Things Considered host Cory Turner pointed out. Most of those dollars went to teacher gradebooks and personnel training.
And the 32,472 text alerts? $63, total. That comes out to less than 0.2¢ apiece!
The NPR piece also noted that student GPAs improved by a quarter of a point on a four-point scale.
Maybe this sounds simple, but if we want to be communicating well with students, we should communicate through the channels that they use.
The same goes for parents, especially low-income families that may not have regular access to a computer or a smartphone, but almost certainly have a basic cellphone. The promise of texting is that once the system's in place, those messages can be automatic—no one has to write them.
Once again a simple solution delivers. You don't need to go searching for complicated and expensive when easy and affordable is standing right in front of you.
With SimpleTexting, it's easy to set up text messaging programs for schools to help parents help their kids improve. School nudges parent, parent nudges student, and student nudges the course of history.
If you're interested in trying out text messaging, sign up for a free 14-day trial today. No contracts involved, and not a single string attached. Just simple!


Living Life for you, Ruthie Lou!
"I see those shirts everywhere!" she said to me as I walked into the staffroom for lunch. It took me a moment to even remember what shirt I had put on that morning but quickly remembered I wore my Ruthie Lou Crew shirt in celebration of the upcoming Human Race. I told her it was probably at a past Human Race event but no, nonchalantly she continued to tell me, "I think it was in Cloverdale. Those ladies are always dressed in costume, sometimes they have kids with them and there are usually ladybugs everywhere!" I laughed as so many images and memories came to mind of times when my crazy (lovely and supportive) friends displayed their love for Ruthie Lou in the most unlikeliest of ways. "So sad about that baby." Her voice reminding me we were still having a conversation, she continued to tell me, "Her name was Ruthie Lou." And then I realized, she didn't know. So many times I have answered that question and how painful it was in the beginning. Now I am able to answer with love and pride as I told her, "That's MY baby, Ruthie Lou." We continued talking and I told her about the Press Democrat article hanging in our school office (thanks WMS!!) and after we finished chatting, she went to go read the article. That conversation stuck with me all day, and it got me thinking about the last few years and the impact my daughter has had and how much we have been supported in the last 3 1/2 years.
We have had so much love shown to our family from the start; organizing Ruthie Lou's Celebration of Life, feeding us after we returned home, grocery shopping for us when we couldn't leave the house, sharing our story when it was too new for us to tell, welcoming us for holidays in their homes, showing up at our fundraising events, walking one of the many races that we do for Ruthie Lou, I could go on and on...One thing is for sure though, I do have some crazy friends, in the absolutely best way possible of course; from hanging ladybugs on every lamppost of the Cloverdale Half Marathon, to decorating our front yard with daisies and ladybugs on her birthday, to dressing in full ladybug costumes in public including their dogs and children, those ladies ARE crazy!
The first Thanksgiving after Ruthie Lou died (or maybe it was Christmas) as my friends walked in our home, they unexpectedly had on their RL shirts on. They know I love the Ruthie Lou Crew shirts because I love the image of "walking for you, Ruthie Lou." However on this day, instead of the word "walking" on their backs they had each taped something that they did in honor of Ruthie Lou. Words such as dancing, singing, laughing or believing for you Ruthie Lou appeared. Quickly not wanting to be left out, I ran to my room, changed my shirt and in bold letters taped "LIVING LIFE" for you Ruthie Lou on my back. It felt so good to see how much my daughter, this little baby had touched hearts of those who loved her.
When everyone left, I collected all those pieces of paper and posted them on my fridge to remind myself of how much life was left to live. In those days getting out of bed was still such a challenge, I am so glad the weight of that grief has lessened it's hold now. Living without my daughter is still unbelievable, it is never easy, and it is a constant choice everyday. Some days that choice is harder than others, but everyday I vow to LIVE because she cannot. To some, these Ruthie Lou Crew shirts are merely a fundraiser (and for that I am so grateful) but for me, these shirts represent all the expressions of love for my daughter, the beauty that remains and the reasons that I choose LIFE everyday; the dancing, singing, laughing, believing and LIVING LIFE are all for you, Ruthie Lou.
I am so grateful for all the little ways in which we have been supported, the thousands of little things that people have loved us through. From the smallest gesture to the largest expression of love, they have held us through this, not one thing has been unnoticed. And I am SO excited for the next few weeks to make way for the Human Race. I may not be able to plan an annual birthday party for my daughter but the Human Race is such a special day, I get to see her name across the backs of amazing people in the world, as we help raise awareness and support for other hurting bereaved families who are just entering their world of grief. This is yet another legacy that my daughter has left behind. I am so proud to be her mother.

Plattsburgh State is set to offer a new scholarship that will provide free tuition for North Country high school graduates starting at the beginning of the 2016 academic year.
The North Country Scholarship, a merit-based scholarship, will be available to students who are accepted to PSUC full-time and graduate high school in June 2016 with a 90 cumulative average or higher.
In addition, students must also have graduated from a high school in one of seven counties that make up the North Country: Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lewis or St. Lawrence County.
Students can receive the scholarship for up to eight semesters as long as they maintain a 3.25 cumulative GPA each semester they get the scholarship. They are also required to live on campus or commute from their home in the North Country.
Although merit scholarships specifically for North Country students are not a new concept at PSUC, the North Country Scholarship differs in one way.
Although the scores are not taken into account for the scholarship, they are still required as part of the application process at PSUC.
"I think this (scholarship) is a great opportunity, and I think more students will enroll because of it," said Melanie Vizcarrondo, a PSUC senior majoring in psychology and art therapy.
Students who are applying for the scholarship must also complete FAFSA and TAP financial aid forms, Woodward said, even though the scholarship covers tuition. Both these forms help determine how much financial assistance a student will receive separate from any scholarship or awards.
"The reason for that, is that the way the scholarship works is that we apply an tuition-specific awards that a student is receiving, like TAP, first, and then our scholarship will make up the difference between the full amount of tuition, minus any tuition-specific awards," Woodward said.
Even if a student doesn't receive any financial aid, they can still be awarded the scholarship. In addition, there is no limit on the number of students who can receive the scholarship.
"Last year we had about 50 students who fell within this category who would have been eligible for the scholarship. That is kind of the baseline that we're looking at now. But we do expect that we will see an increase in applications this coming year," Woodward said.
Although the requirements for the scholarship specify that eligible students must have graduated from high school in June 2016, Woodward said that exceptions could be made.
Transfer students must have graduated from high school in the North Country to be eligible.
The North Country scholarship has also had an impact on younger high school students in the surrounding area.
"One of the benefits we hadn't really considered when we announced it is that students as early as freshman, sophomore year of high school are already starting to think about their grades and whether or not they would qualify for the award," Woodward said.
Vizcarrondo, who is from New York City, acknowledged the advantages of the North Country Scholarship for students from the area but also said she believes a scholarship like this for students from other areas of the state would be equally beneficial.
"I think it would encourage more people to apply for school and get them more motivated," Vizcarrondo said.
The funding for this scholarship comes from a variety of donors and organizations, including the College Foundation, a not-for-profit branch of PSUC that accepts donations on behalf of the college and allocates them to programs.
"We work with donors in raising the funds that will help the college in supporting those scholarships, and providing the funds for those scholarships," said PSUC College Foundation Director Faith Long.
Because the scholarship does not go into effect until next year, Long said it is not possible to know exactly how much money the College Foundation will allocate for the North Country Scholarship. However, she said, she is optimistic about its impact on the college and its students.
"It will have an amazing effect. It will make college more affordable. It will mean students who have applied themselves and worked very, very hard in high school…have taken the most challenging courses, have been there every day in their seats, will get to go to college for free…" Long said.

Britain is throwing away its opportunity to rule the global wave and tidal energy sector due to lack of government support, a series of leading developers have told the Guardian.
The nation is currently seen as a world leader in capturing renewable energy from the oceans but some companies are already heading for new shores. This is putting other countries, such as France and Canada, in prime position to capitalise on the jobs being created by the emerging industry, the companies say.
Ocean energy is needed alongside other renewables to provide the huge amount of clean electricity that will be required to phase out fossil fuel use and fight climate change, proponents argue. Tidal energy has the particular advantage of being entirely reliable and the European Union predicts 100GW of ocean energy will be installed by 2050, the equivalent of 100 large conventional power stations.
But despite good UK government funding for research and development, support to put the devices into commercial use is now missing. Ministers are soon expected to reject a tidal barrage scheme in Swansea as too costly, but to back a new nuclear plant in Wales.
Sustainable Marine Energy, a British company that developed and tested its floating tidal turbines in Scotland, is now taking its device to Canada, citing "more support" from the government there. Another tidal turbine company, Atlantis, whose MeyGen project in Orkney is the world's first large-scale tidal array connected to the grid, is looking to France, where a major government tender is expected in the coming months.
Commercial scale tidal and wave power projects could get government subsidies until March 2017, but since then have only been able to apply to a "contracts for difference" (CfD) scheme open to all marine energy technologies. Offshore wind is a more mature industry and costs have fallen rapidly, meaning all the support has gone to these projects. Atlantis applied but did not win funding. "We just need 5% of the CfD pot to build an 80MW Meygen project," said David Taafe, at Atlantis.
The tidal and wave developers argue that a mix of renewables is vital – for when the wind does not blow – for example. But new technologies require support to scale up, which is when economies of scale and learning drive costs down.

Bushido: The Way of the Warrior
timpani solo
Composer: John Willmarth
Publisher: Innovative Percussion, Inc.
Instrumentation: Timpani
Program Notes:
The samurai of Japan were not merely trained assasins but lived by a strict ethical code known as Bushido (literally meaning "the way of the warrior"). This code influenced all aspects of life and is comparable to the Western concept of chivalry. The samurai were, of course, fierce warriors but also strongly believed in honor, kindness, frugal living, and above all, loyalty to their lord. The ultimate honor was to die in service to one's master. In fact, the samurai considered suicide, called seppuku, a brave and admirable alternative to being defeated in battle. As the samurai began their decline and eventual abolishment in 1871, Bushido became the moral standard of the Japanese culture. There are seven principals that embody the spirit of Bushido including: Gi (recitude), Rei (respect), Makoto (honesty), and Chugi (loyalty).
The three movements of this piece represent the Bushido principals of Jin (benevolance), Meiyo (honor and glory) and Yu (courage). Each movement is intended to emphasize a different facet of the timpani and aspect of Japanese music. Jin is a soundscape and therefore deals primarily with color and timbre. It should convey a meditative and reflective mood as well as the kind and wise nature of the samurai. Meiyo focuses on the melodic potential of the timpani and utilizes pedaling to create an "eastern" tonality. It is song-like in character and should exemplify the proud tradition and history of the samurai. Yu explores the rhythmic potential of the timpani and is strongly influenced by the Taiko drumming tradition. It is intended to depict the fierce nature of the samurai in battle.
"This nine-minute, four-drum composition represents the final three principles in its three movements. Each movement is intended to emphasize a different facet of the timpani and a different aspect of Japanese music. Movement 1 ("Jin") is a soundscape and therefore deals primarily with color and timbre. It conveys a meditative and reflective mood with its many caesuras, fermatas, and graphic and spatial notation. Numerous special effects are employed in this movement, such as use of fingers as well as mallets, finger trills, finger grace notes, playing in the center of the heads, glissandi, and pitch bends (achieved by depressing the head in the center with the heel of the hand). Movement 2 ("Meiyo") focuses on the melodic potential of the timpani and utilizes pedaling to create an "eastern" scale of six tones (F, G-flat, B-flat, C, D-flat, F) among the four drums. The movement is song-like in character and reflects the proud tradition and history of the Samurai. Although the movement begins rubato, it soon becomes dance-like and stays primarily in duple meter thereafter. Numerous special percussive effects are employed, such as stick clicks, rim clicks, striking the timpani struts, and rimshots (stick on stick). Movement 3 ("Yu") uses the same four starting pitches and basic tonality as both previous movements. It explores the rhythmic potential of the timpani and is strongly influenced by the Taiko drumming tradition. It is intended to depict the fierce nature of the Samurai in battle. The movement is aggressive, rhythmic, accented, and has many changes of meter. Mutes are eventually added to the drums for rhythmic clarity as the music turns "ferocious" and highly technical. The timpanist is often required to play passages of fast double stops and in the center of the heads." - Mario Gaetano Percussive Notes, October 2006

Літл-Рок, або Литл-Рок () — місто () в США, в окрузі Пуласкі, столиця штату Арканзас. Населення —  особи (2010). Є центром агломерації, що у 2006 році налічувала 652,8 тис. мешканців.

Розташоване на лівому березі річки Арканзас, навпроти міста Норт-Літл-Рок.

Географія
Літл-Рок розташований за координатами  (34.725432, -92.358556). За даними Бюро перепису населення США в 2010 році місто мало площу 313,37 км², з яких 308,73 км² — суходіл та 4,64 км² — водойми.

Клімат
Місто знаходиться у зоні, котра характеризується вологим субтропічним кліматом. Найтепліший місяць — липень із середньою температурою 28.2 °C (82.8 °F). Найхолодніший місяць — січень, із середньою температурою 4.9 °С (40.8 °F).

Демографія

Згідно з переписом 2010 року, у місті мешкали  особи в  домогосподарствах у складі  родин. Густота населення становила 618 осіб/км². Було 91288 помешкань (291/км²).

Расовий склад населення:

До двох чи більше рас належало 1,7 %. Іспаномовні складали 6,8 % від усіх жителів.

За віковим діапазоном населення розподілялося таким чином: 24,1 % — особи молодші 18 років, 64,6 % — особи у віці 18—64 років, 11,3 % — особи у віці 65 років та старші. Медіана віку мешканця становила 35,1 року. На 100 осіб жіночої статі у місті припадало 91,1 чоловіків; на 100 жінок у віці від 18 років та старших — 87,9 чоловіків також старших 18 років.

Середній дохід на одне домашнє господарство становив  долари США (медіана — ), а середній дохід на одну сім'ю —  доларів (медіана — ). Медіана доходів становила  доларів для чоловіків та  доларів для жінок. За межею бідності перебувало 17,8 % осіб, у тому числі 24,8 % дітей у віці до 18 років та 8,4 % осіб у віці 65 років та старших.

Цивільне працевлаштоване населення становило  особи. Основні галузі зайнятості: освіта, охорона здоров'я та соціальна допомога — 30,1 %, роздрібна торгівля — 12,0 %, науковці, спеціалісти, менеджери — 10,5 %.

Походження назви
Назву місцевості (little rock — «маленька скеля») дав в 1722 році французький дослідник Бернар де ла Арп, що пропонував заснувати тут торговий порт.

У 1957 році, після того, як расистське керівництво міста на чолі з губернатором О. Фобусом перешкодило вступу дев'яти чорношкірих дітей до Центральної середньої школи, президент США Дуайт Ейзенхауер наказав ввести до Літл-Рока війська, які зломили опір расистів. Так місто стало одним з символів боротьби американського негритянського населення за цивільні права.

Економіка
Проте місто з'явилося лише в 1831 році; до XX століття, з розвитком добування бокситів, Літл-Рок став крупним економічним центром.

3.5	stars -	"Review for Manera Exo Kite Waist Harness Pink" Mark Taylor This Manera Exo Kite Waist Harness Pink is the best Harness Kite I have tried.
To improve the extraordinary comfort of our harness, we worked thoroughly on the foam lining inside the harness.After numerous tests,analyses and comparisons, the R&D department decided to line the new EXO harness withsome specific comfort foam called: NEST FOAM New technologies, new construction, new materials, new ergonomics. With the EXO harness, MANERA is truly establishing new standards in the history of kitesurfing.
This MANERA innovation has a hexagonal structure, built with various stiffness and volume degrees to control its flex and resistance. Its main advantage and innovation is to be connected directly to the spreader bar through webbing and buckles for a direct transfer of the load and therefore receiving 100% of the kite power. Its design and structure helps distribute consistently the pressure over a much wider area. Pressures are no longer concentrated on a narrow area of the back, which protects the rider and prevent him from having to compensate with his lumbar muscles. This technology brings a new vision on the energy transfer science and provides the rider with a level of comfort never seen before.
This new approach consists in transmitting all the loads and pressures outside the harness through the frame while placing the totality of all foam and reinforcement layers between these forces and your back. Usually straps, plates, and other devices are hidden inside the harness and are sandwiched between two layers of foam. Unfortunately only one of these layers remains between your back and the structure of harness to reduce the tensions. On the MANERA EXO harness, the integrality of foam thickness is here to soften and suppress the pressure, for maximum comfort.
We have done some extensive work on the human body anatomy to find the right harness shape. Our goal was to build a harness that perfectly fits the natural curves of the back, so that it adapts actively to your movements during riding. This ergonomic shape provides freedom, flexibility & softness, while minimizing friction areas. To ensure optimum comfort during action, the EXO harness is pre-formed, which means the ergonomic shape of the harness is built in to each layer of material that composes the product during manufacturing.
This product fits the rider and protects him from injuries and friction right from the first use.Hips are a really sensitive part exposed to frictions, in order to avoid injuries we designed this area with a full piece of neoprene without seams.
The MANERA R&D team developed a brand new asymmetrical buckle system to maintain the spreader bar position by generating downward force. Stuck in its original normal position, the spreader bar doesn?t go up.
Helping the Down Hold System, two flaps situated on each side of the spreader bar are inserted into the harness; once the straps are tightened, the flaps are compressed and blocked inside. The aim is to reinforce the link between the spreader bar and the harness structure. The result is surprising as the hook never goes up to your chest.
Whether you are right or left hander, the MANERA leash release will be easy to trigger as we placed one on each side of the harness. Depending on your preference, you will also have the choice between setting your leash free to slide along your back or lock it to the right or the left between the rings.
The Manera EXO is available in 9 sizes: XS / S / M / M-Tall / L / L-Tall / XL/ XL-Tall / 2XL.
6 spreader bar sizes available: 18 / 22 / 24 / 28 / 32 / 34 cm.

My first thought when I heard "Confessions," the title track, was that George Michael was singing synth-pop with a heavy backbeat and rock guitars. An intriguing opening track, it announces a brand new sound for Sonic Syndicate, and even as Confessions settles into its heavy melodic synth-infused rock core, it is very much unlike anything else in my collection and quite different from Sonic Syndicate's prior releases. I'm sure it's causing quite a bit of consternation among the band's legion of existing fans.
Indeed, yes, when Nathan J. Biggs took over vocal duties on We Rule the Night, there was a noticeably more melodic shift, but Confessions is a seismic departure. I'm intrigued, but I also wasn't a devoted fan before the change, so I enter the equation without preconceived notions. The synth-driven beats, pop vocal sensibility, and persistent beat (almost like you'd expect in a dance club) are truly a hybrid sound. On this disc, Nathan and founding guitarist Robin Sjunnerson are joined by Michel Bärzén on bass, as well as other musicians in the studio. And they've produced a one-of-a-kind sound worth taking a chance on.
Third track "Start a War" is a standout track, as it builds to power, stops and starts a bit, and plunges forward with an infectious heavy melodic rhythm.
Throughout the album, there are small details – like the guitar run in "Falling," for example – that serve as hooks while showing the care that went into the song construction and production here. And the bursts of power in "Burn to Live," strung together with softer vocal bridges and walls of synth and guitar provide the song with an engaging energy.
Beyond that, I suppose "Still Believe" would be a ballad in the scheme of Sonic Syndicate's sound, with its slower pace, and there's a seriously pop angle to the vocals, but the heavy drums are still there. Second-to-last song "Closure," though, is Confessions' true ballad, with what sound like soaring strings toward its conclusion.
The album itself concludes with "Halfway Down the Road," a mid-tempo rocker featuring an old-school classic rock guitar solo; this final song itself is largely unlike the other tracks on the disc.
In all, Confessions is a daring departure for Sonic Syndicate. For the band's longtime fans, if their musical tastes don't span the musical spectrum, they may not be excited by the change (to put it lightly). Indeed, I expect the backlash to be brutal from some corners of the metal community, but for those whose fandom is not wedded to a specific genre or sub-genre, it's an intriguing disc. I tip my hat to Sonic Syndicate for such bold experimentation, and I do have a couple favorite tracks on this album.
Sonic Syndicate's upcoming live shows, as listed on their website, are tonight, November 19th at Majestic Music Club in Bratislava, Slovakia; tomorrow, November 20th at Simm City in Vienna, Austria; February 8th at Klubi in Tampere, Finland; February 9th at Lutakko in Jyvaskyla, Finland; and February 10th at Virgin Oil Co in Helsinki, Finland. Check the Sonic Syndicate website's "Shows" page for further details and additional live dates as they're added.

Q: Does anyone currently have phpMyAdmin working on Google Apps Engine? It used to work for me following this tutorial. Stopped working for a couple days, worked again, and now completely stopped working. I desperately need a program to help me manage my CloudSQL database and have tried multiple times following multiple tutorials and multiple setups with phpMyAdmin with no luck. I then tried phpMiniAdmin, SQL Buddy, and Adminer. I also tried this tutorial with no luck. To be clear, I am able to access the database using the following code in my own php scripts,
new mysqli('localhost','<username>','<password>','<db>',0,'/cloudsql/<app-id>:db');

It seems like the main problem is something to do with "socket" vs "host" in the Google App Engine setup. My "app.yaml" matches the tutorial, excluding references to my app, and my "config.inc.php" is the following,
<?php
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '<#>';
$i = 0;
$host = '/cloudsql/<app-id>:db';
$type = 'socket';
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = $host;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = $type;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
$cfg['McryptDisableWarning'] = true;
$cfg['PmaNoRelation_DisableWarning'] = true;
$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 60;
$cfg['CheckConfigurationPermissions'] = false;
$cfg['UploadDir'] = '';
$cfg['SaveDir'] = '';
?>

I'm currently using 4.0.10, but tried 4.1.7 with the same results. I am greeted by a blank screen,there is source code but screen is blank. In the Apps Engine error logs I don't have any errors, just warnings referencing the inability to find images,
Static file referenced by handler not found: phpMyAdmin/pma_logo.png

I would love to know if anyone is currently using phpMyAdmin or any other php software to access CloudSQL, if so, maybe they might have a tip or two as to what is going on. I'm willing to share anything relevant as well, just let me know what and I'll post it.
EDIT: Got it working. I'm not sure why it initially stopped worked, started working, and then stopped working again. During my trails and error trying to get it to work I started using different tools including Codenvy as opposed to the Google Apps Engine client for Windows. I went back to using the GAE Windows client and was finally successful in accessing phpMyAdmin in CloudSQL. I don't know for sure, but I suppose it's possible the reason I struggled with strange errors during some of my testing could have been related to using Codenvy as opposed to Google's own tools. I'm not saing Codenvy was the problem, just that if a person is having phpMyAdmin/CloudSQL issues, they might consider trying the GAE client before pulling all their hair out.

A: The problem seemed to resolve itself. It's possible Google was doing some maintenance, I have no other explanation.


There are so many places it would be awesome to have the conference. I'd like to see one in basically any place I have never been to. Too bad I don't get to pick. :) I'm in no matter where it goes though.
It's happening. I'll be in Seattle for the ADI conference (http://distilling.com/events/2014-spirits-conference-vendor-expo/) 3/28 through 4/4. Anybody up for a beer or two?

Moon "Wobble" Could Bring Decade of Record Flooding in 2030s
Most of us probably learned in grade school science class that our Moon's gravitational pull causes the rise and fall of ocean tides. What you might not know is that the force of that attraction waxes and wanes in conjunction with an 18.6-year lunar cycle. According to a NASA-led study, a new phase in the cycle could bring catastrophic flooding to some U.S. coastal regions starting in the 2030s, a pattern that could last for the entire decade. I always find it crazy how much our weather and things we take for granted in life can depend on the moon and our orbit around the sun. Just a slight tick closer to the sun and we burn up while a shift away from the sun could push us into another ice age…
I think it's interesting to think about a "moon wobble" creating massive high tides and flooding on the coasts and with the jet stream how does that impact weather across the Midwest and other important crop-growing regions? Will we see way more moisture on the coasts and less in other areas? The weather extremes and how they are impacted by the moon, and our orbits is a huge wild-card.
The study, led by members of the NASA Sea Level Change Science Team from the University of Hawaii, shows that high tides will exceed known flooding thresholds around the country more often beginning in the mid-2030s. This is due to what's called a "wobble" in the moon's orbit that takes 18.6 years to complete, aka the Lunar Nodal Cycle. In half this cycle, the Earth's regular daily tides are suppressed: High tides are lower than normal, and low tides are higher than normal. In the other half of the cycle, the opposite occurs with high tides higher and low tides lower. There's nothing new or dangerous about the wobble – NASA says skywatchers first documented it in the 1700s. What is new is how one of the wobble's effects on the Moon's gravitational pull will combine with rising sea levels.
During the most rapid downward phase of the lunar nodal cycle – which we are in right now – the observed rate of sea-level rise is effectively offset by those "lower high tides." But the bottom of the cycle around 2025 will see this effect reverse and higher tides will combine with higher sea levels to dramatic effect, particularly in areas where high tides already exceed known flooding thresholds. The study predicts a leap in flood numbers on almost all U.S. mainland coastlines, Hawaii, and Guam. Only far northern coastlines, including Alaska's, will be spared for another decade or longer because these land areas are rising due to long-term geological processes.
"Low-lying areas near sea level are increasingly at risk and suffering due to the increased flooding, and it will only get worse," said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported a total of more than 600 such floods in 2019. By the mid-2030s, scientists expect three to four times that amount. What's more, the floods will sometimes occur in clusters lasting a month or longer, depending on the positions of the Moon, Earth, and the Sun. When all three planetary bodies line up in specific ways with each other, the resulting gravitational pull and the ocean's corresponding response may leave coastal dwellers coping with floods every day or two.
While the amount of flooding won't be as much as a hurricane causes, having such frequent flooding can result in heavy economic damage. Phil Thompson, an assistant professor at the University of Hawaii and lead author of the study, points out that because high tide floods involve a small amount of water compared to hurricane storm surges, there's a tendency to view them as a less significant problem overall. "But if it floods 10 or 15 times a month, a business can't keep operating with its parking lot underwater. People lose their jobs because they can't get to work. Seeping cesspools become a public health issue." Details from the study can be found HERE.
Rising sea levels and coastal flooding make for saltier soils, which could obviously have a big impact on agriculture and farmer livelihoods. Coastal flooding of farmland can lead to immediate, as well as long-term, crop losses. Even after floodwaters recede, salt deposition from seawater establishes a legacy of soil salinity, negatively affecting the growth of many crops with long-term impacts on soil structure. Crop species can have widely varying tolerances to salinity but in general, high salt levels reduce plant nutrient uptake. Farmers along coastal waters may want to start investigating how they can meet these possible challenges sooner rather than later. (Sources: NASA, EESI, NPR)
