The Wanderer (CD)
An utterly essential document of early American minimalism, available on LP for the first time since it was originally released in 1984. Cut at Golden and pressed at RTI for maximum fidelity.
The Wanderer is based on a single modal scale (B C# D D# E F# G#) and rhythmic modes based on a meter consisting of ¾ and ⅜. Part I, Song, is intended to explore the unique resonant qualities of accordion reeds through long sounds. Subtle variations come about from differences in tuning and air pressure. Part II, Dance, demonstrates the sharp accenting power of the accordion bellows in a mixture of cross-rhythms characteristic of jigs, reels, batucadas, Bulgars, klezmer forms, Cajun dances, and music of other diverse cultures.
The Wanderer was composed in November, 1982 especially for the Springfield Accordion Orchestra, directed by Sam Falcetti. This recording documents The Wanderer's world premiere, as it was performed 27 January, 1983 at Marymount Manhattan Theatre. The orchestra consists of twenty accordions, two bass accordions, and five percussionists, with Pauline Oliveros as soloist, Sam Falcetti conducting.
Horse Sings From Cloud, written in 1975, is one of Oliveros' best known works. Like most of her Sonic Meditations, it can be performed vocally and/or instrumentally, solo or in collaboration. A solo version of Horse Sings From Cloud has been recorded on Accordion & Voice. An early version of the score reads, "Sustain a tone or sound until any desire to change it disappears. When there is no longer any desire to change the tone or sound, then change it." This time, Horse Sings From Cloud is performed in ensemble. Joining Pauline Oliveros on bandoneon are Heloise Gold on Harmonium, Julia Haines on accordion, and Linda Montano on concertina. This quartet version incorporates the microtonal differences in tuning of the selected instruments, creating shimmering reed sounds somewhat similar to the shimmering of a Balinese gamelan.
The Wanderer by Pauline Oliveros
Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016) is a senior figure in contemporary American music. Her career spans fifty years of boundary dissolving music making. In the '50s she was part of a circle of iconoclastic composers, artists, poets gathered together in San Francisco. Recently awarded the John Cage award for 2012 from the Foundation of Contemporary Arts, Oliveros is Distinguished Research Professor of Music at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, and Darius Milhaud Artist-in-Residence at Mills College. Oliveros has been as interested in finding new sounds as in finding new uses for old ones—her primary instrument is the accordion, an unexpected visitor perhaps to musical cutting edge, but one which she approaches in much the same way that a Zen musician might approach the Japanese shakuhachi. Pauline Oliveros' life as a composer, performer and humanitarian is about opening her own and others' sensibilities to the universe and facets of sounds. Since the 1960's she has influenced American music profoundly through her work with improvisation, meditation, electronic music, myth and ritual. Pauline Oliveros is the founder of "Deep Listening," which comes from her childhood fascination with sounds and from her works in concert music with composition, improvisation and electro-acoustics. Pauline Oliveros described Deep Listening as a way of listening in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what you are doing. Such intense listening includes the sounds of daily life, of nature, of one's own thoughts as well as musical sounds. "Deep Listening is my life practice," she explained, simply. Oliveros is founder of Deep Listening Institute, formerly Pauline Oliveros Foundation.

As most of you know us my now, I am Kent and married to Princess Sharon. We travel somewhere warm the last week of January every year for our anniversary. We got married on the beach in St. Lucia 2003, I promised her we would go somewhere warm every year. This was our 12th trip. The rest of the trips can be found over on my vacation page.
We traveled to the Breathless Resort and Spa in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic 1/25/15 – 2/1/15.
We had been to Punta Cana twice before and has always kind of been our backup safety destination. I usually start looking for our Anniversary trip shortly after Labor Day about the time I am closing the pool. Last fall prices were up and wasn't sure I was even going to be able to find a deal. Then Apple Vacations ran an adults only six apple special. Some quick web research and I had it narrowed down to it had to be one of 3 6 apple resorts on Punta Cana. The Hard Rock, the Iberostar Grand, or the new Breathless. I was about 95% sure we would get Breathless since both Breathless and Apple Vacations are both owned by the same parent company AM Resorts. I booked it non stop from St. Louis for $3,400. People on our same flight that stayed at Breathless said they paid $8,300. Of course we didn't know where we were staying until check-in at the airport the morning of departure. I was so confident that I only did web research on Breathless!
The new Breathless was the last resort north of the airport and was only 32 minutes from the time we left the airport to the resort. Only 7 couples from our plane were going to Breathless and we had a small bus with good AC and plenty of room.
Greeted by an attendant with a silver tray of cold facial cloths and fruity cocktails. We arrived around 12:30PM. Since this wasn't my first rodeo, I identified our bags for the bell boys while Sharon got in line to check in. We were the second couple to check in. Our room was ready, and the bell boys had our luggage in our room in 10 minutes. We freshened up, headed downstairs to get a drink and bite to eat, people were still checking in.
I was able to sweet talk us in a partial ocean view room, even though I only paid for the garden view. Once again the silver tongued devil, talked us into a free upgrade. The room had 2 full sized beds instead of the King. Sharon stated the view off our balcony was more than worth the 2 beds so I didn't try to get us moved.
The Hotel opened in October of 2013. The resort has 750 rooms, but the resort never felt crowded.
GREAT water pressure in the shower, and a separate toilette room for the toilette and bidet.
Full sized bottles of shower gel (great scent … not exactly sure what it was) and shampoo were provided and the maid automatically provided "additional" when we ran low by mid-week. Our maids were excellent the day maid was quick and always made sure we had an abundance of towels (never had to ask for more). The night maid turned down the bed and left a schedule and chocolates for the following days planned activities. She left us daily towel animals after the second day she left us a swan, and then I left her a monkey and a tip.
Was really nice and very walkable. Our favorite beach of all trips. It is over 30 miles long, flat and great soft walkable sand. No sunsets on this beach this is sunrises only.
There are eleven gourmet dining venues, where reservations are never required except for the Hibachi grill. Long pants were only required in the French restaurant. I think we ate in most of them except for the Lebanese. We ate fish almost every meal. I would rate the food some of the best yet from any of the all inclusive we have been too.
I always travel with at least 100 USD ones, This time I took extra. 100 in ones and 75 in fives. Wasn't sure we were going to stay so I took extra tipping money. One of our favorite poolside waitresses YoLenny told me she made $180 a month USD. They work 11 straight 11 hour days to get a three day weekend. I was tipping on every drink and our glasses were never empty. After-all I was already at least 5 thousand ahead on this trip.
I drank 15 year old scotch all week, and Herradura Tequila shots. All liquor was top shelf.
Chairs and palapa were never a problem. I set our towels out by 9, but no need to get up at 6 AM to get chairs. There were plenty of big blue rafts and you could always get one as needed.
Internet was included and free as well as free international calls. Not as fast at home but good enough. Pretty much had connectivity the entire time, the entire resort had coverage.
This was the first time EVER Sharon didn't use the Spa. The Spa and Gym both looked nice.
We walked next door to the little set of shops that are located between Breathless and the Dreams Punta Cana located half mile away.
The USD dollars were preferred and usually could get things about 60% of their first price. Only a couple times did I get them down to half price. The best deal I got was a Michael Kors purse. I am pretty sure it was fake, they started at $350. I got them down to $70 and walked away. The next day, he chased me down and told me he would take $40 and 2 cheeseburgers and pops from the resort. I loaded up 2 cheeseburgers, fries and 2 bottles of soda from our room fridge and smuggled them out of the resort in our beach bag. I don't think they made any money on the purse, but then again they got to eat. and Sharon was happy with her Anniversary present.
This was the nicest property we have stayed at. It is large with 750 rooms, but with all the restaurants and pools it never felt crowded. I feel this was the best value I have had yet. Not sure how I would rate this hotel if I paid full price.
Great value and our favorite beaches and even found some hummingbirds to photograph!

"In the vein of You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) and Black Nerd Problems, this witty, ... incisive essay collection from New York Times critic at large Maya Phillips explores race, religion, sexuality, and more through the lens of her favorite popculture fandoms. From the moment Maya Phillips saw the opening scroll of Star Wars, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, her childhood changed forever. Her formative years were spent loving not just the Star Wars saga, but superhero cartoons, anime, Buffythe Vampire Slayer, Harry Potter, Tolkien, and Doctor Who--to name just a few. As a critic at large at The New York Times, Phillips has written extensively on theater, poetry, and the latest blockbusters--with her love of some of the most popular and nerdy fandoms informing her career. Now, she analyzes the mark these beloved intellectual properties leave on young and adult minds, and what they teach us about race, gender expression, religion, and more--especially as fandom becomes more and more mainstream. Spanning from the 90s through to today, Nerd is a collection of cultural criticism essays through the lens of fandom for everyone from the casual Marvel movie watcher to the hardcore Star Wars expanded universe connoisseur. It's for anyone who's ever wondered where they fit into the narrative or if they can be seen as a hero--even of their own story"-- Provided by publisher. Read More

nexium alternatives over the counter Adrian Peterson made an amazing recovery from ACL surgery to come within nine yards of setting the NFL rushing record last season. The Vikings didn't play him in any of their preseason games and that is the plan Redskins coach Mike Shanahan has for Robert Griffin III coming off his ACL tear and is expected to be the strategy used by Bucs coach Greg Schiano as Darrelle Revis comes back from his ACL injury. RG3 and Revis are both practicing on a limited basis. That means Revis' first appearance in a game will be when he comes running through the tunnel at MetLife Stadium in the opener against the Jets. Peterson is an aberration in the history of players recovering from ACLs and it's not necessarily fair to expect Revis to be his defensive equivalent. Remember, Peterson made his cuts knowing where he was going. Revis has to react to the receiver. ... Even if Revis doesn't get into a preseason game, going up against Vincent Jackson in practice should have him ready. Jackson is far better than any receiver the Jets have on their roster.

Although Fitch considers BK's risk-adjusted ratios to be solid, the recently announced notice of proposed rulemaking on the enhanced supplementary leverage ratio for large banks could have greater impact to the company. While greater clarity is needed to estimate the ratio, the company provided a loose estimate of low 4%.

New NIST test bed makes the 'digital thread' accessible
Credit: NIST
Researchers at the U.S. Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have launched the Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS) Test Bed. The test bed is an innovative model factory that will facilitate the advanced manufacturing technology known as the "digital thread" and help manufacturers cut costs, shorten production time, reduce errors and provide higher quality goods.
"The SMS Test Bed joins the many resources NIST offers to help U.S. manufacturers drive innovation and compete in a global market," said Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and NIST Director Willie E. May. "Digital manufacturing represents an exciting advance that is expected to yield significant operational and bottom-line benefits for manufacturers of all sizes."
Until recently, manufacturers have predominantly used two-dimensional (2D) drawings–what we know as blueprints–in either printed form, computer-aided design (CAD) plans or a combination of both to guide a product through its life cycle. Because these methods require humans to interpret, translate, re-enter and transmit data at each step in the process, there can be significant expenditures of time and money, as well as multiple opportunities for errors to occur. In spite of the disadvantages, however, 90 percent of small manufacturers still rely on traditional 2D methods to make their products.
The digital thread relies on standardized, three-dimensional (3D) models for electronically exchanging and processing product and manufacturing information all the way from design through inspection of the final part. Researchers estimate that moving manufacturing from 2D paper-based systems to 3D digital manufacturing could cut production time by as much as 75 percent.
NIST's SMS Test Bed is designed to make the digital thread and the resources needed to make it work accessible to all who want to explore its capabilities and contribute to its advancement. It also serves as a platform for measuring the effectiveness of standards for collecting and distributing production data that support the digital thread.
The test bed consists of three major components:
A computer-aided technologies laboratory with a suite of standardized software tools for controlling design, fabrication, inspection, data management, and verification and validation testing;
A real-world manufacturing facility at NIST's Gaithersburg, Maryland, headquarters, featuring a variety of computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools (such as milling and turning centers) and precision inspection devices (such as coordinate measuring machines and digital micrometers); and
Online data streaming, collection, storage and publication services that provide real-time, universally compatible data links for experimenting with the digital manufacturing process; a searchable repository of all SMS Test Bed data generated; and preset data packages for model products previously fabricated using the digital thread that manufacturers can try at their own facilities.
"The goal of the SMS Test Bed is to create a shared resource that enables smart manufacturing research and development," said NIST mechanical engineer Thomas Hedberg, co-coordinator of the project. "We are actively seeking collaborators who are willing to link their manufacturing data sets, fabrication processes and product data exchange systems with our test bed so that we can help them make their way toward digital manufacturing, and at the same time, let others who participate in the project gain from their knowledge and experience."
According to NIST mechanical engineer and project co-coordinator Moneer Helu, future plans for the test bed include offering manufacturers the opportunity to compare the fabrication of test products (with preset designs and datasets) using their standard procedure and with an optimized "digital thread" plan. "We also hope to assist with the creation and launch of test beds like ours across the country so that eventually, a national network is established," he said.
To establish the SMS Test Bed, NIST is working with the Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT), an organization that represents and promotes U.S.-based manufacturing technology; DP Technology Corp., a developer and supplier of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software; Mazak Corp., a maker of advanced machine tools and automation systems; Mitutoyo America Corp., a maker of measurement equipment and software; the MTConnect Institute, a standards development organization; and System Insights Inc., a provider of predictive analytics software for manufacturing.
Researchers from academic institutions and public-private consortia have already begun using data available from the SMS Test Bed, including: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Virginia Tech, the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CCAM) in Virginia and the Digital Manufacturing & Design Innovation Institute (DMDII) in Illinois. DMDII is a member of the Manufacturing USA (link is external) network, which NIST supports through the Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office.
For more information on the SMS Test Bed, visit the SMS Test Bed webpage at https://smstestbed.nist.gov or send a message to [email protected]
As a non-regulatory agency of the Commerce Department, NIST promotes U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.

Hello Shimmerz fans! I hope you had a wonderful week. Ericka here today with a Shimmerz Stampz called Simply Enjoy. These tulips are so pretty and I loved using the Shimmerz and Vibez sprays to watercolor them.
I stamped the image on water color paper using InkOn3 Fade Out ink to do some no-line watercoloring. I then sprayed Sweet Heart Vibez onto a pallet and laid down a first layer of color. Once the layer was dry, I added some more color to the shadow areas as well as some Christmas Cheer Shimmerz for a hint of yellow. I love blue leaves so used Ultra Marine Shimmerz and Sapphire Spritz.
It is always hard to capture the beauty of the shine but in this close up photo you can see some of it. I finished the card with some pink and blue splatters from my pallet and added the sentiment in Versafine ink and clear heat embossing it.

Calls for a Facebook Crackdown Increase After Damning NYT Report
'Facebook cannot be trusted to regulate itself,' congressman says
By Kelsey Sutton
Lawmakers are again indicating they plan to take action against Facebook.
In the wake of a New York Times report detailing Facebook's public and private actions in the face of crises related to Russian disinformation, Cambridge Analytica and government scrutiny, some lawmakers are again indicating they plan to take action against the social media giant and its tactics.
The damning report, which detailed the ways in which Facebook tried to downplay concerns over Russian disinformation, blunt legislative inquiries and redirect criticism to other tech companies, has landed amid various efforts on the part of lawmakers to draft federal privacy regulations, address disinformation campaigns on the platform and require greater transparency regarding political ad spending on social media.
Some lawmakers have floated the prospect of breaking up Facebook through antitrust action, and on Wednesday, Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island and the ranking member on the House Antitrust Subcommittee, suggested legislative steps.
"Facebook cannot be trusted to regulate itself," Cicilline said. "…It is long past time for us to take action. I am confident that despite Facebook's best efforts to buy Congress' silence, the will of the American people will prevail. Next January, Congress should get to work enacting new laws to hold concentrated economic power to account, addressing the corrupting influence of corporate money in our democracy, and restore the rights of Americans."
During a Senate Judiciary Committee session today, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said she believed Facebook's opposition research against its critics could constitute a campaign finance violation if it targeted elected officials. Klobuchar is already a co-sponsor of the Honest Ads Act, a bill that would require Facebook to disclose political advertising on the site. (Facebook this year introduced a political ad archive that has been shown to contain false or misleading information.)
The lawmaker said she planned to send a letter to both Facebook and the Department of Justice requesting additional information.
"This is a pretty serious matter," Klobuchar said.
Other senators, like Mark Warner, D-Va., a co-sponsor of the Honest Ads Act, and Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who has drafted data privacy legislation, have been vocal critics of Facebook.
"The New York Times story reinforces the fact that but for consistent pressure brought to bear by the Senate Intelligence Committee's bipartisan investigation, we would still be in the dark about the extent of Russian activity on Facebook during the 2016 election," Warner said. "I'm happy to say that the cooperation has improved significantly, but what's evident from the story is that for a long period of months, the company hoped this problem would simply just go away."
Wyden took to Twitter: "Individuals that promote anti-Semitic bile, like Definers, and the people at Facebook who hired them, threaten not just our safety, but our democracy. The truth of Facebook's conduct behind the scenes – tapping into anti-Semitism, spreading fake news and hiding the facts of Russia's election interference – could not be further from what Mark Zuckerberg told the Senate his company was all about … Facebook has not only refused to effectively crack down on hate-spewing Nazis, the New York Times revealed it actually encouraged anti-Semitism by hiring degenerate right-wing propagandists to concoct conspiracies that tap into anti-Semitic biases. A corporation that stoops this low in response to legitimate criticism should not be trusted with your personal information. Congress must adopt my proposal to create real privacy rules with teeth."
The criticism directed at Facebook Thursday has been varied, but much of it hinged on the company's decision to employ a Republican opposition research firm, Definers Public Affairs, to try and deflect criticism onto Facebook's critics. Its tactics included suggesting that the Democratic financier George Soros, a Facebook critic, was funding anti-Facebook groups.

Q: Git push only for bare repositories? When I tried 'git push origin master' to remote repository on my external disk, git warning occured stating that pusing to checkout repository will in next releases of git refused by default. On external disk I have checkouted project and I want to send changes that I did on my computer to these reposiotry. Is 'git push origin master' not the right way? Do I have to 'git pull ...' on repository on my external disk? So I cannot push changes but just pull them? Only working with 'bare' repository is different? So if repository on my external disk was a bare repository I could push changes to it? Do I understand correcly?

A: You shouldn't push to a non-bare repository because pushing will only update the internal state of the repo, and won't affect the checked-out, on-disk copies of the files. Thus, you could run into problems if you start doing work in that repo without first updating (via git checkout) the on-disk copies of the state of the files in the repo.

A: Read the warning carefully. The new default prohibition is only on pushing to the currently checked out branch in a non-bare repository. It is perfectly OK to push to any other branch in a non-bare repository.
The reason for this is that the push process has no direct access to the working tree so the index and branch head get changed under the working tree. When you subsequently go to the working tree it looks like working tree has undone the changes pushed mixed in with any changes that were genuinely in development. This makes it very difficult to separate the two sets of changes.
Pushing to other branches has no such downsides. You can then go to that repository and merge those changes into the checked out branch if desired.

According to a new study, federal regulations cost the U.S. economy more than $2 trillion a year, and that number is only going to get bigger with time. This is damage expressly done by politicians in Washington who have put their aims of a larger, richer government over the American ideal of a freer, more prosperous private sector.
Manufacturers and small business owners are the hardest hit by these regulations, two sectors of the economy that are vitally important to drive growth in what many are calling a mini-recession. If anyone was confused about why the economy has been slow to recover, this report has the answers you need.
The study is called "The Cost of Federal Regulation to the U.S. Economy, Manufacturing, and Small Business," and it is a scathing indictment of the damage done by red tape. The scope of the report only ran up until 2012, but the implications made will be relevant for years to come. Or at least until we have politicians with enough conservative backbone to turn back some of this market-killing bureaucracy.
The $2 trillion figure is ghastly enough, but the numbers only get more shocking once you drill down. The study's analysis takes the example of an average U.S. company, and says that these federal regulations force them to pay a ridiculous $10,000 for every employee they have just to come up to compliance. That's per year. Note that this is wholly separate from the Obamacare requirements that have hurt American businesses so badly over the past year. For manufacturers, the story is worse. They have to shell out $20,000 per employee. Those companies with less than 50 employees are the hardest hit of all, being burdened with an unforgivable $35,000 per year, per employee, just to make sure they're in compliance.
And we wonder why the economy hasn't boomed?
Unfortunately, very few politicians are willing to truly step up to this issue. Republicans jump at the chance to talk about small government, but only seldomly do they propose actions that would make a significant difference. If we're going to allow American businesses to flourish the way they could, we're going to have to turn the clocks back. The free market is at its best when it's at its most free. This isn't going to be something solved overnight, but we must at least stop the march towards more and more regulation.
According to the study, environmental measures are by far the worst contributors to this $2 trillion a year disaster. In the name of "going green," we're essentially putting a pair of handcuffs on the economy. If things keep heading in this direction, we will no longer be the richest country in the world. Without the money, we'll no longer have the world's mightiest military. Without the military, we'll have to depend solely on our oceans to protect us from disaster. And in today's world of jets, missiles, and terrorism, that's simply not enough. A strong American economy is every bit as important to national security as a strong border. Both are weakened by the current administration.

We have nothing to fear in this world as we are members of the Body of Christ, the same Christ who conquered death and sin. There is nothing in this world that is more powerful than the love and grace of God, and we, as children of the Father, have the freedom to live according to the Law of Love, for we have received by faith, through grace, the indwelling eternal Spirit of God. In the words of the Lord's Prayer, "Thy Kingdom come … on earth as it is in Heaven." We bring about the Kingdom of God in this world as we live virtuously, by loving God and our neighbor through the faith we have received and in the hope of eternal life in the perfection of that same Kingdom in Heaven.
When I am frightened or challenged by the spirits of this world, give me confidence and strength to turn to you, Lord, realizing and remembering that you have already defeated the Evil One, his offer of sin, and the consequence of death. I am a child of the Kingdom; I am a child of God, and the Spirit that dwells in me is greater than any spirit in this world. Allow me to be a light in this world of darkness and despair, where sin seems to abound, to make known your love in all that I do. "Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done." Amen.


Wilfried Zaha insisted that he would look at the positives despite Crystal Palace being on the wrong end of a seven-goal thriller at Anfield.
Zaha was back on form as he helped put Palace ahead by beating James Milner and pulling the ball back for Andros Townsend in the first-half.
But Liverpool raced out of the blocks in the second half and scored two quick goals, before James Tomkins' header made it 2-2, only for a Julian Speroni error and Sadio Mane's late goal to win it for the hosts, with Max Meyer's last-minute effort merely a consolation.
Palace went toe-to-toe with the Premier League leaders and that was cause for positivity for the mercurial winger, who has struggled to hit top form this season but remains the team's most influential player.
"We have to take the positives," he said.
"We played really well and didn't panic thinking we were playing against a top team – we tried to express ourselves.
"It was against a side that are top of the league for a reason and we showed how dangerous we are when we are performing well so it's something we need to take that into the next game.
The 26-year-old refused to take too much credit for his fine assist, instead ensuring he focused on the Eagles' upcoming fixtures.
The next game for Palace sees them return to FA Cup action with a tough test at Selhurst Park with Tottenham the visitors on Sunday, and the Ivorian is keen to avenge defeat on Merseyside with victory over Spurs.
"Yes, I am happy with the assist but it makes no difference if you lose the game," said Zaha. "So even though I am happy to have provided the cross and obviously pleased Andros managed to score, at the end of the day we lost and need to put it behind us now.
