Flawed people,
flawless God.
Author, Speaker, Blogger.
I'm searching for my place in this messy world-craving, saying,
and doing things I regret.
I fight for relationships, and sometimes I give up too soon.
I hold grudges. I harbor issues.
And, always, I'm trying to measure up.
Do you walk in my world?

Where I Write My Words

On Loma Vista Street, my writing space started out on a desk my father-in-law had found in his Johnstown, Pennsylvania, alley and refinished. I pushed it up against a window in the corner of our bedroom in 2002 and wrote nearly every day, a lifetime of words finally...

About Ann
I became a writer the year I discovered Sister Sheila had hair. I was in fifth grade at St. Hugh's Catholic School in Miami, knee deep in nouns and verbs, when Sister Sheila walked through the door in a new habit that showed two inches of mouse brown hair threaded with silver.
Thanks to Sister's jump-start, I went on to earn a BA in creative writing from Ashland University and an MFA in creative writing from Wilkes University. With five novels and a messy stack of magazine, newspaper, and blog articles, I'm still infatuated with the written word.
My newest crush is embarrassingly myopic–blogging memoir every Friday. And sometimes it's just plain embarrassing

Editor's Note: The Petersen House will be closed from December 25, 2017, to June 2018 for preservation work.
In the years leading up to April 1865, William and Anna Petersen, both German immigrants, owned and occupied the Petersen House. They raised 10 children on the second and third floors of the home, while opening the basement and first floors to strangers. Each person boarding at the house had a different reason for needing a bed. Before the wounded president was ever carried inside, previous boarders with connections to Lincoln had passed through.
As Lincoln lay diagonally across a bed in the far back of the house, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton went to work establishing a command center in the back parlor of the Petersen House. In that adjacent room, Stanton controlled all news of Lincoln's condition, prepared the oath of succession for Vice President Andrew Johnson and began the hunt for John Wilkes Booth. Important men moved in and out of the room all night, including Attorney General Joshua Speed, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia David Kellogg Cartter, and various members of the President's cabinet.

The front parlor became a room for Mrs. Lincoln to grieve, after Secretary Stanton determined she was too disruptive to the President's care. There, Mary was joined by friends, as well as assassination witnesses Major Henry Rathbone and Clara Harris, who attempted to calm her. Robert Lincoln and actress Laura Keene also visited periodically throughout the night.
Mixed in among Lincoln's attendants were the boarders who rented rooms in the house. The room where Lincoln died was being rented by William T. Clark, a former soldier and then clerk in the Headquarters of the Adjutant General; Clark was not home that night. He returned the next morning to hear the news and find his room in disarray.
The parlors that Stanton and Mrs. Lincoln used through the night were typically rented as a unit by the Petersen's; reports say that there were a bed and washstand in the back parlor while Stanton gave orders. Renting rooms that were not formatted as bedrooms allowed the Petersen's to bring in more money and gave them the ability to offer differing room options to boarders. A letter written by a boarder named George Francis explains that he and his wife occupied the unit, and city directories confirm he was living at the Petersen House in 1865. Others say that the Ulke brothers were renting the front parlor; the brothers took a photograph of the death bed on the morning of Lincoln's death.
While it is not certain why these boarders chose the Petersen House specifically, staying in a boarding house was common. Census records show that almost half of the residents of Washington, D.C., during the mid-1800s were either tenants or owners of boarding houses. Immigration, coupled with the push from country to city, created a need for housing in metropolitan areas such as New York City. Boarding houses filled that void by providing a room (or two) and three meals a day.
Among the groups to use boarding houses were congressmen. Congress was only in session for a few months out of the year, leaving lawmakers in need of temporary housing near Capitol Hill. Boarding houses offered not only places to stay, but spaces to foster relationships within and across party lines.

While serving as a U.S. Representative, John C. Breckinridge, who ran against Lincoln and Stephen Douglas in the 1860 presidential election, boarded at the Petersen House. City directories and personal papers establish that he was there in 1852 and 1853. While there, he occupied the double parlors as a unit, exactly as George Francis and his wife reportedly did.
In February 1853, Breckenridge wrote a letter saying that a friend would soon "occupy a room with Waller Bullock next to mine, and board at the same house with me." Based on the letter and the floor plan, it can be deduced that Bullock was also staying at the Petersen House—specifically in the room where Lincoln died. Waller Bullock was Lincoln's uncle-in-law.
The Petersen House was one of many similar, ordinary buildings on 10th Street between E and F Streets in the mid-1800s. Neither the Petersens nor boarders could have predicted how their lives would be linked to Lincoln forever after April 15, 1865. Visitors to the Petersen House today can walk through the first floor, which includes the rooms where these lives, and countless others, were intertwined.

Portfolio Type Category: Restoration
1966 Porche 912
1967 Mercedes Benz 300SE
What a nightmare! This was a basket case. The car was another stalled project having experienced sub-standard work. We had to start with undoing and redoing most of which was done on the car. Most of the metal work was done well, not all. It was a friendly car, lots of waves. So we had to make it straight. For the most part, the interior and convertible top were done well with just a few corrections. This 300SE is a cabriolet with air conditioning and air suspension. It all works, even the air suspension. AND is for sale!
1954 MG TF 1500
This TF received a body off frame restoration. In fact, the body tub was replaced with a brand new one from England. The engine, transmission and drive line were all rebuilt. The brake sealers were all sleeved with stainless steel liners. The gauges were rebuilt and new interior installed.
1967 Alfa Romeo Spider
This car arrived as a stalled project. It was in another shop and nothing was getting done on it. It was a good thing the owner pulled it out of that shop when they did otherwise the only thing that would have gotten done on it was more sub-standard repairs. The stumbling block for the other shop was the electrical system, it needed a wiring harness. They told the customer the harness was "not available". So we started off with buying a wiring harness because they are available if you know where to go. We had Rhode Island Wiring make a harness for us. The owner came to the shop for his first visit and started asking questions on some of the questionable repairs on the body and paint work. The only correct solution was to take it back down to the bare metal and start over. We found some ares in the nose of the car where there was as much as 3/4 inch of body filler. It was at that point that the car turned into a ground up restoration. The customer loves his car.
Ron is the second owner of this car. He's owned it since the early 70's. It went through a full body off restoration. The body shell and sheet metal was alkaline dipped. It's a Ram Air II 4 speed.
1938 HRG Airline Coupe
The Coupe was sold at the Gooding & Co. Auction at Amelia Island in March of 2013. Read what Rick Carey of Sports Car Digest had to say about the car and its restoration – Lot # 58 1938 H.R.G. 1500 Airline Coupe, Body by A. Crofts; S/N WT68; White/Green leather; Estimate $160,000 -$200,000; Recent restoration, 1 condition; Hammered Sold at $230,000 plus commission of 10.00% – Final Price $253,000. Trafficators, Notek fog light, Lucas Biflex headlights, Silver painted wire wheels, sliding sunroof, enclosed rear spare. A one-off body for Major Halford (the "H" in HRG) with an MG Airline passenger compartment and custom nose by A. Crofts. Powered by a 1.5-liter Triumph Gloria engine and gearbox. Acquired in 1964 by the consignor and beautifully and freshly restored with excellent cosmetics and meticulous attention to details. The shocking pastel green frame color is original, as is the white exterior. Road & Track Award winner at Amelia Island and Most Distinguished Design Award at the Glenmoor Gathering in 2012, among others. This is an impressive and attractive automobile, so pretty and aggressively proportioned that it might have been designed by Jaguar's William Lyons. Since it is one-of-one its price there must be accepted as the market value for it, even 15% over Gooding's high estimate.
The 1938 H.R.G. Coupe was one of our favorite projects. HRG Engineering was an English car builder. Between 1935 and 1956 the company produced 241 vehicles. All were roadsters except one……the 1938 HRG Coupe. The coupe was the brainchild of Maj. Ted Halford (the H in HRG) and was produced as a prototype. It is the only HRG to be powered by a Triumph engine. The frame was constructed from chassis of the Halford-Cross Rotary Special race car which was widened to accept the coupe body and rechristened as Chassis #WT-68. The rear section of the car was a second series of the distinctive MG Airline coupe manufactured by Carbodies (now known as London Taxi). The fenders and bonnet were unique to the HRG and were formed by the Crofts Coachbuilding firm which also handled the body assembly. The car was debuted at the famed Brooklands Race Track in England in 1938. When Halford left the company, the remaining partners scrapped the project but the little coupe survived. It was purchased by its current owner in 1965, disassembled and brought to the U.S. (still in pieces) in 1985. The car has undergone a long and extensive restoration to bring it to the level you see today. As ONE of ONE vehicle, it is a unique and historic piece of British automotive history.
July 24th, 2010 marked a major milestone for the HRG Coupe as it drove onto the grounds of the Schenley Park Golf Course to take part in "British Car Day" at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix moving under its own power for the first time in over 45 years.
JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2013 – The HRG Coupe was featured in both the January and February Issues of HEMMINGS SPORTS AND EXOTIC CARS magazine!
On March 11th, 2012, the HRG participated in the 17th annual Amelia Island Concours 'd Elegance and was awards the Road and Track Editors Choice Award as the car they would most like to drive. We are extremely happy for owners Bob and Sylvia Affleck and very proud of the awards and attention the little car continues to receive.
May 11th and 12th 2012 saw the car back at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to take part in the "Celebration of Automobiles" where it was chosen 2nd in Class as well as being named a Road & Track Magazine "Top 5 Pick".
June of 2012 brought the HRG to The Elegance at Hershey in Hershey, PA where we were honored as the Best British Enclosed Car. The show is in its second year and the setting at the Hotel Hershey is outstanding. We hope to be back soon with another car.
In July of 2012, we stuck closer to home and participated in Concours at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.
August 17th – 19th 2012 had us running in the 60 mile Pebble Beach Tour d' Elegance and on display at the 18th fairway as part of the Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance. It was a tremendous honor to be asked to participate in the premier automotive event in the country. Seeing the car pull into Carmel By The Sea on the Tour was a thrill and being on display alongside the finest motorcars in the world was over the top fun….we want to do it again.
September and October 2012 saw the car participating in the Glenmoor Gathering of Significant Automobiles where it won the award for Most Distinguished Design and The Louisville Concours d' Elegance wherein was chosen Second in Class.
1955 MB 300SL Gullwing
The owner acquired this car before he got married and he and his wife took it on their honeymoon. It was restored in the early 80's. In the 90's, he took the motor out to rebuild it. Life happens and years pass. The owner finished the motor and wanted us to install it and repair and paint the body. After the car was finished, the owner took it to the 300SL Nationals and won best of show.
1972 Morgan 4/4
This 1972 Morgan underwent a full, ground-up restoration including a new wooden frame, new fenders, and floors. It features a beautiful leather interior, custom sound system and custom security system. The engine is a 1700cc performance version with dual Weber carburetors and a four-speed transmission. The car is ultra fun to drive, and its gold and sable brown color scheme turns heads.

Now that I'm not working, I have a lot more free time and have started cooking more. I love baking but I am much better at baking dessert than at actually cooking dinner (I am also much better at eating dessert). I have more mixed feelings about cooking. Sometimes it is super fun and delicious, sometimes I make a huge mess of it.
As part of a way to help pick out recipes, I've started picking just one cookbook for the week and trying out several recipes from it. This week was Super Natural Every Day by Heidi Swanson. She also does the blog 101 Cookbooks which I really enjoy and have used before on this blog (Sesame Tempeh Salad).
Overall, I like the cookbook. It is vegetarian and very focused on vegetables. For that reason, and the fact that it is very natural food/health focused, I found the dinners a little unsatisfying. I'm not interested in putting in a ton of work for "Dilled Green Beans with Seitan". The recipes were mostly straightforward but did have a tendency to require atypical ingredients, such as Pomegranate Molasses used in "Pomegranate-Glazed Eggplant with Tempeh".
While not bad, the glaze was a little too sour. I also made a "Chickpea Stew" with saffron and yogurt. It did not turn out well. It may have been because I tried to add a little ground turkey but the broth didn't thicken and the texture was weird: whole chickpeas in a thin broth didn't create a cohesive dish. The flavor was also super mild and didn't come together.
However, there were some gems. The "Open-Face Egg Sandwich" was excellent, and super easy. It uses yogurt instead of mayonnaise. It calls for fresh herbs (I used chives) and rubbing the toast with fresh garlic. I think if you skipped either of these steps, you'd be disappointed as the egg + plain yogurt without them. I bet if you added chives and garlic toast to normal egg salad, it would also make it feel especially fancy.
The other recipe which went over really well was the "Weeknight Curry". I made some modifications to the recipe and added shrimp. I forgot about the rice until after I'd started the curry, so the veggies got a little overcooked but the flavor was amazing and it was a quick and easy meal to make (no picture though, sorry). I'll definitely make it again!
1. Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sit in the onion and a big pinch of salt. Sauté until the onion starts to become translucent at the edges, a couple of minutes.
2. Stir in the zucchini and carrot and cook for 1 minute more.
3. In the meantime, in a small bowl, mash the curry paste with a few tablespoons of the coconut milk. Add this to the pot and stir until the vegetables are well coated.
4. Stir in the remaining coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, then add the shrimp and brocolini. Cook until the shrimp is pink and the brocolini starts to lose its raw edge, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the broth, stir and taste. If necessary, add salt a little at a time until the flavors in the curry really pop. The amount of salt will vary based on the saltiness of your broth (or if you used water).

This brilliant new experimental festival connects artists from across the Arab world.
Sarāb 2019 There's a special kind of silence in Wadi Rum. It descended slowly as we drove through southern Jordan, passing stark grey mountains and camels chewing the remains of a watermelon harvest. Then, suddenly, orange, pink and red rock rose all around. Finally, Wadi Rum yawned out before us, a desert as stunningly alien as Mars, chosen for the filming of movies like Star Wars and The Martian. Bedouins have lived here nomadically for centuries. Lawrence Of Arabia passed through. It was home to the Nabateans, who built the ancient wonder of Petra nearby. Long before that, it was an ocean. It has always been silent.
Wadi Rum was the setting for Sarāb, a new experimental music festival organised and curated by Interim Projects (Nora Akawi and Eduardo Rega), Khyam Allami and Ayed Fadel that aims to connect local artists, hosting performers from six Arab countries. Jordan is the easiest country for Arab passport-holders to enter without the hassle of visas and permissions, so it offers an ideal home. Around 150 people made the trip for the first edition, with strong showings from scenes in Jordan and Palestine, plus a handful of westerners. In the desert the music was overheard by nobody, but its concept and classy execution deserve to echo across the region.
Sarāb means "mirage" in Arabic, a gesture to the transience of a music festival in the wilderness. The site overlooked a rust-coloured plain, with a dance floor of sand strewn with Bedouin-style carpets. The desert infused every act with its ancient aura, but some of the best performers actively used the land in their live sets. First was Nicolas Jaar, who sat on the ground and live-looped the sound of dancer Stéphanie Janaina raking stones across the sand. He used that scrape and metallic thud as a percussive backdrop for half the set, adding eerie washes of melody that rose like a ghostly choir. Janaina flexed as if fighting paralysis, and at one point Jaar winced—perhaps overcome by the harsh tones he was conjuring, or maybe because sand was flying in his face.
The festival co-curator Khyam Allami also made use of the earth in one of his three performances. Silhouetted by the sunset, he played silvery runs on the oud while collaborator Yalda Younes danced in quick, austere movements on boards that were mic'ed up, her footsteps turned to percussion. Their show was full of surprises: Allami elicited feedback from tiny speakers atop metallic flowers placed on the desert floor, and elsewhere he played live drums and dropped in a techno beat. At one point, Younes grabbed a mic and started to scream. I was particularly struck when Younes flipped over, limbs in the air like a dead beetle, utterly still, while Allami uncannily replayed the sound of her feet dancing. It was thoughtful and poignant: a sonic mirage, a desert ghost.
The crowd listened to the experimental sets with remarkable attention. Highlights included the diverse selections and acrobatic dance moves of Mayss, a scintillating electro-acoustic performance from the Lebanese duo Two Or The Dragon and an atmospheric turn from Errorist and Shams, whose drone matched the desert in its timeless quality. A personal favourite was the live set from the influential Palestinian hip-hop producer Muqata'a, whose grimy, futurist aesthetic is one of the most distinctive around. With wild glitches and syncopations, he probed the boundaries of hip-hop, showing how far he could fragment his rhythms without losing grip on his subterranean funk.
The later sets were geared towards dancing. The Palestinian artist Raymond Haddad played twilit techno on a modular setup I couldn't believe he had brought into the desert, while Jordanian Etcher's silky set of techno and electro brought the first evening to a flawless peak. I especially loved the late set from the Palestinian hip-hop artist Dakn, who exploded the dance floor with a furious selection of drum & bass, jungle and high-velocity madness. Everyone was excited to see Deena Abdelwahed, who played her debut album, Khonnar, to an Arab audience for the first time. Her oppressive sound design and severe rhythms seemed amplified by the immense emptiness all around.
While the days were too hot to do much, there was always easy company in the friendly and engaged audience. It must be a logistical nightmare to set up a festival so far from civilisation, but there were no queues or complaints about food, drinks or toilets. One small complication was the accommodation in nearby tents, which left some wandering blindly into the pitch-black desert if they didn't want to stay at the festival until the end. Crucially, though, the sound quality was excellent. In terms of curation, not every performance was brilliant—some felt overlong, and most of the best were unevenly piled onto the second day—but the range of artists showed the amazing diversity and vitality of music coming out of the region.
In my time covering electronic music from North Africa and the Middle East, I've noticed that many local artists set their professional sights on Europe. They see it as the only place where they can make a living from their work. At home, their listeners might be limited to a rarefied niche and their ambitions misunderstood by governments and cultural institutions. There are uncomfortable colonial echoes in the fact that Arab artists must look to Europe, so it's thrilling to see this shifting. Where nascent scenes in Arab countries were once isolated from one another, now collectives are beginning to join the dots, particularly in Egypt and the Levant with groups like Kairo Is Koming in Egypt, Jazar Crew in Palestine, Assembli in Jordan and hotly-tipped clubs like The Ballroom Blitz in Lebanon. Many locals I've met believe music is one of the best ways to connect young people across the Arab world, a region long divided by national borders originally created to serve the interests of colonial powers.
There's a palpable feeling of excitement about what's brewing in the region, and Sarāb is another important stepping stone on the path to a freer, more united artistic future. Just as importantly, it was also a fantastic party. When I stepped away for a moment to look at the stars, glittering beyond the clear arc of the Milky Way, I bumped into the festival cofounder Ayed Fadel. I asked him how it was going. He was ecstatic. "It's a seed," he told me, staring briefly towards the black mountains out west. Even in this most barren of deserts, it feels like this seed can only grow.

Professor Norm Carignan teaches a power transformers and rotating machines class in the Advanced Technologies Building at Manchester Community College.
Ten years into an economic expansion, and the national and state economies remain churning for a simple reason – toys.
An economy that offers toys like self-driving cars, phones that can outpower mainframe computers, and legs made from steel and microprocessors is an economy with lots of disposable income that people can use to ... buy more toys.
Of course, toys need to be cared for, repaired and replaced at times. That's why we have a new toybox in Manchester — the Advanced Technologies building at Manchester Community College.
This is where young men and women learn about toys that might not be as glitzy as the ones I've already mentioned. But the ones they're using in their programs in heating, ventilation and air conditioning and in electricity are more necessary and enduring.
These toys clean, heat and cool air, then channel the result through a network of aluminum arteries to keep us happy and productive.
These toys allow me to type this column on a glowing screen in a lighted environment while coffee drips a few feet away.
The building is the latest on the MCC campus, which is located off Front Street and has grown with the need in southern New Hampshire for technicians, trades workers and craftsmen.
At night, many of the vehicles in the parking lot bear the names and logos of local contractors, whose employees are putting in a four-hour course after working a day's shift. Local businesses donated some of the money and equipment at use in the building, said Susan Huard, president of Manchester Community College, who gave me a tour of the $7.5 million building.
With all the equipment, instructors can emphasize bench work and lab work as much as book work.
It's a place where someone can get out of a no-future retail job and learn how to wire circuits that keep homes, office buildings and factories plugged in and logged on.
It's where massive amounts of electricity, as much as 480 volts, can be tamed with transformers and pressure switches to power the motors that run advanced manufacturing operations.
The exterior of the single-story building has hues of circuit-board brown and chrome. Peer through the tall vertical windows and you see the showroom-clean equipment of the advanced HVAC program.
PVC pipes snake along walls and ceilings in tandem, splitting at the last minute to join boilers or compressors. The pipes carry labels to let students know the direction whatever material — air, water, gas — is moving and its temperature.
There's on outdoor lab. The industrial-gray boxes and tree-size ducts of a rooftop air-handling system sit at ground level. The roof over the apparatus provides something students won't find in the real world — shelter from any snow or rain that they will one day have to endure when fixing a problem atop a mill building.
In another lab, students were sticking probes into duct work to measure static pressure.
Although the building opened a year ago, the four students with adjunct instructor Jeff Gaumer comprise the first Advanced HVAC I class at the school. The college couldn't offer the class without the building and the equipment, and until now young technicians needed to work with a journeyman to learn advanced HVAC, Gaumer said.
He can use computer controls to mimic the effects that a clogged filter or damaged coil can have on an air system.
Electricity is the other advanced technology program housed in the building.
In a classroom, electrical technology professor Norm Carignan discussed the do's and don'ts of disagreements with code inspectors.
Electrical technology labs include room skeletons — wood frames for residential rooms, metal frames for commercial and industrial rooms — where students install outlet boxes, panels, conduits, fixtures and wires.
Other labs involve motor and industrial control systems. There are even four manholes between the basement and ground floor, where students can practice going underground.
Constantin Startun hopes to graduate from the electrical technology program in May.
Startun said he started in computer science at MCC, but opted for electricity when he realized he would be unhappy sitting in front of a computer all day.
"I love technology and I love to use my hands to build. The electrical field is both of them," Startun said.
The handyman work involves wiring a building or a factory control system. The tech works involves following the schematics for an industrial motor circuit and negotiating the programmable logic controls that oversee building systems including alarms, security and telecommunications.
Startun, who works as an apprentice electrician for a local contractor, said there are other programs in Manchester where he could learn trades, but they involve PowerPoint presentations. MCC offers the real equipment.
He started working on solar systems at MCC about the same time he installed them at his job.
He said he was making $15 an hour as a restaurant cook when he enrolled in the electrical technology program two years ago. He took a $4 an hour pay cut but has worked his way up to $16.
Once licensed, he thinks he'll start at $20 an hour. Experienced master electricians can pull in $62,000 a year, according to figures provided by MCC.
And with a toy box like the Advanced Technologies building, the best isn't just possible. It's fun.

It is the indwelling Spirit who bestows the Gifts of the Spirit and manifests the Fruit of the Spirit in the believer. However, I also learned to doubt much concerning the Gospel and one of the reasons there is such a lack of Biblical understanding and real faith in the churches today is that we learned too well the secular theories underlying our education. Answer - There are fine Christian teachers within the State system and many others who, although they are not Christians, are fine, honest, caring and loving people.

Charles-François Gounod's "Ave Maria" is a curious case in music history – the result of a musical collaboration that expanded through a century. The two great composers, in this case, Charles Gounod and Johann Sebastian Bach were not even contemporaries. The melody of this song was crafted 130 years after its accompaniment!
Johann Sebastian Bach published "Book 1" of "The Well-Tempered Clavier" in 1772. The "Prelude in C major," is the first piece of this collection and is a famous piece among piano students since that time. Out of the 35 measures present in the Prelude, there are 34 measures of "16th-note arpeggios" and one measure comprising of a single, "whole-note C-major chord." The work can be characterized for its inventive and rich harmony, and frequent cacophony.
Charles Gounod considered Johann Sebastian as the "Master of masters." He was introduced to some of Bach's work on the keyboard in 1840 when he met Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel. She and her husband became a close friend of Gounod. According to Charles, "Fanny would play the piano with a palpable simplicity and readiness, signifying her passion towards it. She introduced me to various masterpieces in German music, including some works of Johann Sebastian Bach. It included a variety of Felix Mendelssohn's compositions and also numerous concertos, preludes, fugues and sonatas of Bach." Later, Gounod was invited by Felix Mendelssohn to visit Leipzig. Felix subsequently played some of Bach's organ works in a private concert in the "Thomaskirche." Incidentally, Bach had been a choirmaster there.
In 1852, Gounod used to spend several evenings at his Paris home accompanied by his fiancée Anna Zimmermann. Anna's father, Pierre-Joseph-Guillaume Zimmermann was a famous composer and pianist who had taught at the Paris Conservatory for many years. One evening, Gounod improvised an alluring melody over Bach's Prelude in C and was overheard by Zimmermann. Overwhelmed, Pierre rushed into the room and asked Gounod to play it again, and subsequently scribbled down the piece in musical notations. After a few days, the piece was again performed at a house concert organized by Zimmermann, utilizing a small choir, piano, and violin.
In 1853, Gounod's works were published under the name "Meditation on the First Prelude of Sebastian Bach." It has a solo violin part along with a piano portion which is based on Bach's prelude, although slightly reframed. The title page states that the player can utilize a cello for the violin part but on a lower octave. In 1854, the first documented performance of "Meditation" was played by Adrien-François Servais. It also contained an optional second cello in case all organs are unavailable. The fun fact is, this first edition is completely devoid of any song text.
Charles Gounod added words to his composition only after 1859. However, the first wordings that were utilized was not "Ave Maria," but a short poem by Alphonse de Lamartine, titled "Vers écrits sur un album." The poem was crafted as a gift for an admirer of Lamartine. Gounod selected this poem as the text for "Meditation," and also gifted a copy to his student Rosalie Jousset. However, the letter was intercepted by Aurélie Jousset, Rosalie's mother-in-law. She found the whole situation highly inappropriate and replied back to Gounod with an alternative text under the original poem. It was the texts of the popular Latin prayer "Ave Maria." Gounod understood the hint and subsequently adopted Aurélie's version. In 1859, the first version of "Ave Maria" was recorded.
However, Gounod never considered "Ave Maria" to be a significant part of his whole life's work. He didn't even mention it in his autobiography. The fact is, "Ave Maria" does seem like a minuscule effort when compared to his more famous works – like the opera "Faust." The harmonic structure and the accompaniment are Bach's creation, while Zimmerman was probably responsible for some voicing of the additional organ part. Lastly, even the text of the song is a result of Aurélie Jousset's idea.
In 1859, a version of "Ave Maria" was published by Jacques Léopold Heugel in Latin text that was similar to "Vers écrits sur un album." Also, Gounod's version of Bach's prelude included the "Schwencke measure" [m.23] which was allegedly incorporated by Christian Friedrich Gottlieb Schwencke. It was an attempt to rectify what he considered to be a "faulty progression," although this type of progression was already prevalent in Bach's music.
In its first performance on April 10, 1853, "Ave Maria" proved to be an irresistible force of melody. It attracted a phenomenal level of acclaim, becoming immensely popular while improving Gounod's faltering reputation within the contemporary public. However, musical purists have never abated from criticizing Gounod for defaming a classic by adding unbridled sentimentality.
While Gounod's composition was a self-commending fine specimen of a Bellini-esque "bel canto," Bach's original was comprised of harmonic progressions utilizing broken chords. It was a forecast of the future generation's gallant style, while also evoking romanticism with its reliance on rippling arpeggios, a fulsome grandeur crying out for cantilena. The composer had attempted to dismiss the "Meditation" as a mere "espièglerie," a prank, but he himself was more than capable of adapting other Bach preludes without conspicuous success.

Domestic fight leads Berkeley police to uncover $1M in psychedelic mushrooms
BERKELELY, Calif. - A domestic fight in Berkeley led police to uncover a pile full of 'shrooms, which they called a large scale psychedelic mushroom processing operation.
The 37-year-old woman and her 35-year-old boyfriend were arrested on narcotics related charges, according to Berkeley Police Sgt. Andrew Frankel.
Police were called out Saturday about 10 p.m. to the couple's home in the 1700 block of Alcatraz Avenue. The pair initially refused to open the door, Frankel said. But eventually they came out and when officers went in, they found 677 pounds of psilocybin mushrooms "in various stages of cultivation."
Frankel estimated the bust was worth $1 million in street value, along with $3,000 in cash.

Q: COMPATIBLE_HOST vs COMPATIBLE_MACHINE in yocto I want to build a particular recipe only for ARM architectures. Reading from mega manual, it says

A recipe is considered incompatible with the currently configured
  machine when either or both the COMPATIBLE_MACHINE variable and
  COMPATIBLE_HOST variables specify compatibility with a machine other
  than that of the current machine or host.

Which one should i pick up COMPATIBLE_MACHINE or COMPATIBLE_HOST in my recipe. What's the difference between them
Again From mega-manual regarding COMPATIBLE_HOST:

A regular expression that resolves to one or more hosts (when the
  recipe is native) or one or more targets (when the recipe is
  non-native) with which a recipe is compatible.

How do we differentiate between native and non-native recipes?

Woman Struck and Critically Injured by Vehicle Turning into Bronx Driveway
Woman struck and critically injured
MORRIS PARK, NY – According to Abc7ny.com, a pedestrian sustained critical injuries when she was struck by a vehicle that was turning off the street and into a driveway. The incident took place on Pelham Parkway South.
The woman driving the vehicle was trying to turn into her driveway when she hit the pedestrian. The driver ended up crashing into the house.
The victim was stuck beneath the vehicle. The driver then hit a garage dislodging a large section of reinforced brick.
The two-family residence was issued a Full Vacate Order from the Department of Buildings because of the structural damage done in the collision.
The pedestrian was transported to the Jacobi Medical Center where she was reportedly in critical condition but was stable.
The woman driving the vehicle was checked at the scene of the crash but did not suffer any injuries.
Police have not filed charges in the collision and are investigating the incident as an accident.
Every year thousands of Americans are killed in pedestrian accidents. With more cars on the road every year, and with larger vehicles rising in popularity, pedestrians are facing a lot of dangers on the road. One of the best ways to curb the rising pedestrian death toll is to improve safety technology in vehicles. While many vehicles can already detect large objects and other vehicles, cars are increasingly able to identify pedestrians as well. This technology could greatly improve roadway safety.
Even before the technology can improve safety for pedestrians, simple steps such as reducing the speed limit in areas with foot traffic can help reduce fatal and serious pedestrian accidents.

Irwin's finds success with new Joeys brand
Georgi Gyton · 14 February, 2014
Irwin's Bakery has been increasing listings for its new brand Joeys, with plans also in place to develop the product range.
Howell House, the cakes and biscuits division of Irish company Irwin's Bakery, had seen its Joeys buns become so popular, that it launched a standalone brand under the same name in December last year.
Asda and Morrisons have recently confirmed listings in more than 750 stores across England, Scotland and Wales, for its new nine-pack Joeys Bites - versions of the firm's existing 'Jammy' and 'Snowy' bun lines - and for four- and six-packs of the new Joeys 'Lemon Buns'.
Hannah Robinson, marketing manager, Irwin's, said: "The new brand is designed to appeal to British mums who want a tasty tea break treat to enjoy with friends or family.
"Consumers have responded extremely positively since launch. And we are planning to develop the range to include a variety of buns and biscuits under the Joeys brand later this year."
The growth of the new brand will be supported with experiential marketing events and sampling at stores across Great Britain, appearances at food shows such as the BBC Good Food Show and an integrated social media campaign.
