In this two-volume set, Leonard Talmy circumscribes the field of
cognitive semantics by examining how languages reveal the organization
of conceptual structure, noting specifically the interactions between
the basic concepts of space and time, motion and location, causation
and force interaction, and attention and viewpoint. Employing a
vocabulary developed for his own interdisciplinary work, Talmy defines
the field and establishes the ground-rules for further researching the
nature of cognition and meaning in language. Volume I surveys the
conceptual system in terms of the interaction of units of thought and
language. Volume 2 proposes typologies of concepts and discusses the
processes by means of which cognition interacts with them. Talmy's
intention in both volumes is to address the issue of the linguistic
representation of conceptual structure. Volume 1 is organized into an
introduction and 4 parts. Part 1, Foundation of Conceptual Structuring
in Language, consists of Chapter I which discusses the relation of
grammar to cognition. Part 2, Configurational Structure, contains
Chapter 2, on fictive motion in language and "ception"; and Chapter 3,
on the question of how language structures space. Part 3, Attention,
contains Chapters 4-6, on the topics of the windowing of attention in
language, figure and ground, and structures that relate events
respectively. Part 4, Force and Causation, contains Chapters 7, on the
topic of force dynamics in language and cognition; and 8, on the
semantics of causation.
Volume 2 gives the introduction to the book modified for the present
volume, and presents 3 parts broken down into 8 chapters. Part 1,
Typological Patterns in the Representation of Event Structure, contains
Chapter 1-4; Chapter 1 deals with lexicalization patterns; Chapter 2
surveys the lexicalization patterns; Chapter 3 presents a typology of
event integration; and Chapter 4 discusses borrowing semantic space in
terms of "diachronic hybridization". Part 2, Semantic Interaction
contains Chapters 5 and 6. Chapter 5 is concerned with semantic
conflict and resolution; and Chapter 6, with communication goals and
means and their cognitive interaction. Part 3, Other Cognitive Systems,
contains Chapter 7, on the cognitive culture system and Chapter 8, on a
cognitive framework for narrative structure.
Synopses The scope of Volume 1, being that of defining the boundaries
of conceptual systems, is a foundational work approaching a general
theory of cognitive semantics. The 8 chapters distributed among 4
sections are revised versions or amplifications of earlier pioneering
papers Talmy published in the field, together with additional
unpublished materials which support the current work. Part I is a
foundational overview of conceptual structuring in which the
establishment of the relation of grammar to cognition is provided.
Here, Talmy establishes as a fundamental design feature of language the
need to recognize two complementary and indispensable subsystems: the
grammatical and the lexical. Attributing influence to the works of
SLOBIN & AKSU (1982), DIXON (1972) and ULTAN (1978) along with the
broader issues of grammatical meaning as developed by SAPIR (1921),
BOAS (1938), Whorf (1956) and JAKOBSON (1971), he talks about the need
for grammar to provide linguistic structure and lexical representations
to specify conceptual material. Talmy describes the sentence as the
basic schematic framework of conceptual organization. He refers to it
as a cognitive representative, CR, which, he says draws upon both
subsystems to specify its meaning to the listener. Chapter I goes on to
show constraints on grammatical meaning in terms of their superordinate
categories and member notions: the first being closed-class forms on
nouns which, for example give information on some categories, such as
number, but not on color for example; and the second being the need for
open-class forms where the category will not indicate a morphological
definer-- such as the case of number in the sense of dozen, even, odd,
Part 2 is devoted to what Talmy calls configurational structure. It is
in this section that his well known work on fictive motion is
developed. He begins by introducing the concept of fictivity in
language as referring to cases where two discrepant representations are
of a physical complex in space-time. He discusses fictive motion in
terms of constructual and experienced fictive motion and provides
abundant examples. In Chapter 3, Talmy draws upon the work of GRUBER
(1965), Fillmore (1968), Leech (1969), Clark (1973), Bennett (1975),
Herskovits (1982), Jackendoff (1983), and Talmy (1972, 1975a, 1975b),
to discuss how language structures space by means of schematization--
or a referent scheme to represent the whole; he applies the notions of
figure and ground taken from Gestalt psychology to the distinct roles
played by primary and secondary objects being described, providing
Part 3, titled "Attention" discusses the capacity of languages to
foreground and background information. This happens as explicit mention
of a situation is cited and as other mention is omitted. Talmy refers
to this phenomenon as "windowing attention". He introduces the notions
of figure and ground and goes on in Chapter 5 to discuss in depth
various interrelationships of windowing of the figure-ground
interrelationship, and develops the idea of affective states associated
with factuality states where the perspective of the speaker (regret,
desire, etc) is compared with an event. In this section, Talmy also
provides a tree diagram of role derivations in which the figure causes
the event as an instrument of the causative situation (p. 337). In
Chapter 6, Talmy provides several examples of structures that relate
events applied to both simple and complex sentences. It is here that
Talmy's work is best accessible to readers trained in the generative
approach to the semantic-syntactic interface.
Part 4, titled "Force and Causation" further elaborates on the
cognitive interactions in semantic patterns, which were first developed
in Talmy (I 976a). In Chapter 7, titled "Force Dynamics in Language and
Cognition", he cites works by other scholars were the present model of
force dynamics has been adopted including those done by GEE & KEGL
(1982:348-350), Sweetser (1982, 1984), and some theoretical models by
Pinker (1989, 1997), Jackendoff (1990) and Brandt (1992). Talmy's
examples illustrate the categories of physical, psychological, intra-
psychological, lexicalized and socio-psychological providing minimal
pairs of each. One example from the physical category is as follows:
example: be VPing/keep VPing i. The ball was rolling along the green.
ii. The ball kept (on) rolling along the green.
Part 4, Chapter 8 "The Semantics of Causation" discerns a number of
distinct types of causative situations of varying complexity resolving
the types into which these basic semantic elements combine. Diagrams of
sentences are provided which account for S (basic causative situation),
S (caused event). A distinction between author and agent is established
when the subordinating form by expresses the distinction between
grammatical subject-head active versus passive sentences.
Volume 2 develops the properties of typologies and processes in concept
structuring. The work in this volume is intended to apply a rigorous
methodology to the phenomenology and interpretation involved in the
process of cognitive semantics. It is noted here, that the author
himself recognizes some difficulty with the qualification of semantics
as cognitive-- since, he says, semantics by definition requires the
processes of cognition to determine meaning in languages. Still, he
uses the term since it denotes the field in its current state as
drawing upon some of the contributions of psychology and other
disciplines that seek to measure consciousness.
Of the 3 part subdivisions of this volume, Part I is by far the largest
and most significant. In this part, typological patterns in the
representation of the event structure are detailed. Chapter 1,
described by Talmy as a "much revised and expanded version of TALMY
(1985b)", discusses patterns of lexicalization. This is defined as "the
systematic relations in language between meaning and surface
expression" (p. 2 1). The semantic elements such as 'motion, 'path',
'figure, 'ground', 'manner', and 'cause'; and the surface elements of
verb, adposition, subordinate clause, and what Talmy characterizes as
'satellite' are shown as integral to the lexicalization process. In
this Chapter, many of the concepts introduced in Volume I are
designated and analyzed according to a rigorous methodology which are
summarized by Talmy according to the following approach, where
"entities" = elements, relations, structures; both particular cases and
a. Determine various semantic entities in a language;
b. Determine various surface entities in a language;
c. Observe which (a) entities are expressed by which (b) entities-- in
what combinations and with what relationships-- noting any patterns.
d. Compare (c)-type patterns across different languages, noting any
e. Compare (c)-type patterns across different stages of a single
language, noting any shifts or nonshifts that accord with a (d)-type
f. Consider the cognitive processes and structures that might give rise
to the phenomena observed in (a) through (e). (Vol. 2, p. 22).
Chapter 2, subdivided into 3 sections, "Surveying Lexicalization
Patterns", surveys the material presented in 11-1; with the first two
sections employing a crosslinguistic scope and the last surveying the
material within a single language. Chapter 3, "A Typology of Event
Integration", discusses three basic findings relevant to event
structure. The first is the idea of the "macro-event" as relating to
the event complex consisting of a pair of cross-related Figure-Ground
events, such as that which pertains to "motion" as described in 1-6.
The second amplifies the expression of motion into broader categories
of "temporal contouring", "action correlation", and "realization". The
third finding Talmy cites is the notion of languages falling into two
typological categories based upon how the schematic core is expressed:
whether in the verb or in a satellite to the verb. (Originally in Talmy
(1985b)). Examples are provided from several languages. Chapter 4,
"Borrowing Semantic Space: Diachronic Hybridization", is concerned with
the influence of one language upon the semantic system of another,
where there is no direct borrowing of morphemic shapes. He accounts for
instances of polysemy and other lexical semantic extensions under the
category of diachronic hybridization, as the result of languages in
contact. For much of the work in this chapter, Talmy attributes credit
to U. Weinreich (1953) and M. Weinreich (1980) giving examples from the
former's work on Slavic influences on Yiddish.
Part 2, Chapter 5 "Semantic Conflict and Resolution, is concerned with
the regular linguistic situation the author calls "multiple
specification", in which two or more specifications are provided by the
same referent. The author examines the nature of the "conflict' and
shows how the language is equipped with the apparatus for the semantic
"resolution" which can occur in both closed-class and open-class
schema. In this chapter, he also discusses the concept of basicness, or
the status of one form being "privileged" as to its expected meaning.
Chapter 6, is titled "Communicative Goals and Means: Their Cognitive
Interaction". In this chapter, the perspective of the psychological
situation is taken into account in the communication process. Such
aspects which affect communications as: the communicative core, the
larger context, the modificational process, and the associated factors
of child development, individual differences and language comparison,
language change and observational adequacy must be taken into account
in the process of the communication goals and means.
Part 3, Chapter 7 discusses the cognitive culture system applying the
term 'cognitivism' to designate the cognitive organization in each of
the individuals collectively making up a society. This discussion
addresses the questions of what is universal across cultures and what
varies; of what is innate and what is learned, and of how the
individual and the group are related. Chapter 8 establishes a cognitive
framework for the analysis of narrative. His framework treats the
narrative as contextualized into three divisions. These are the
"domains", the "strata" and the "parameters". The author's conclusions
declare the intention of this chapter to lay out the structural
delineations of narrative and the larger narrative context with the
hopes that it will be used both to guide the analysis of particular
narratives and to link up with endeavors from across the cognitive
sciences and humanities to contribute to an understanding of conceptual
structure in human cognition. (p. 481)
Critical Comments: This 2-volume set is a rigorous and thorough work in
cognitive semantics, from which I learned a great deal and which
prompted me to think through aspects of the field for myself from a
different perspective than the (largely Lakovian) one I hold. In his
approach, applying the scientific method throughout, Talmy
painstakingly supports his intuitions with both arguments and examples.
And the scope of the work is as broad as it is deep. Volumes I and 2
neither compete with one another, nor do they appear disjointed. The
work as a whole is both original and accessible to a general educated
readership as well as to trained linguists. I used some of the chapters
as resource material for an undergraduate course I taught in Romance
Syntax last semester. Particularly useful to me were the chapters from
Volume 1, I-1 on the relation of grammar to cognition; and I-2 on
Nevertheless, perhaps due to its very originality, I found that reading
the book could be tedious. The author's ground-breaking work results in
the need to introduce multiple new terms, forcing the reader to search
for connections to scholarship produced by other theorists in the field
whose vocabulary is more widely used today. I speak, for example, of
the conspicuous absence of any discussion of metaphor as developed by
George Lakoff and his followers, despite the fact that much of what
Talmy discusses in Volume I (and develops in Vol. 2) can be easily
fitted to perspectives on metaphor and cognition. This is particularly
the case with his work on fictive motion, for which Talmy's work is
best known among researchers in metaphor. What Talmy discusses in terms
of fictivity, other cognitive semanticists might classify as extending
the meaning of a basic experience to another more abstract one (or as
it is often put: mapping the meaning from a source to a target domain)
- the process by which the mind manufactures metaphor.
As a result of omissions in this area, some difficulties can arise in
integrating the present work with other aspects of cognitive semantics,
such as is the case in Vol. 2, in his discussion of what he calls the
"diachronic hybridization" of semantic space. Here, Talmy's new
vocabulary seems to be on the brink of a discovery similar to Lakoff &
Johnson's (1980) classification of various types of metonymy as falling
under the category of metaphor in the broadest sense. (Such as "the
event for the place", "the function for the object", etc.). On another
level, from the same discussion in (II-4), we might be lead to believe
that lexical extensions come about solely as the result of cross-
linguistic influences, rather than from the experiential consciousness
of a member of a society who compares basic experiences with other
ones, in a cognitive interaction nascent within the intuitional
faculties shaped by the individual's own cultural conceptual framework.
Other topics introduced by Talmy bear a strong resemblance to
linguistic phenomena known by other labels. The idea of foregrounding
and backgrounding of information, for example, lends itself easily to
the discussion of topic and comment, given and known, or hiding and
highlighting. Also conspicuously absent is reference to the work in
generative semantics, or the semantic-syntactic interface, which is
called for in the section on grammar and cognition. For example, in his
discussion of the agent-author distinction (I-8), the classification of
this type of function as a passive movement, as developed in the
generative syntax literature, is not given significant attention,
something that would be helpful to those trained in the generative
While it is true that the cognitive approach does not share many of the
premises of Chomskyan-type formalisms, I think that a comprehensive
foundational work, such as the one Talmy offers should show more of
what he believes if any are the contributions from generative
semantics; or, wanting for any to show why the generative approaches
are to be excluded from the present research. This, I think, will
enable a better dialog among those who take semantics seriously despite
differing perspectives; and it will make for better science.
On the level of a theoretical perspective, Talmy is clearly influenced
by Whorfian thought. However, he avoids the issue as to whether he sees
language in terms of representing thought, or whether he thinks that
language shapes thought in the Whorfian sense. He seems to use
terminology from both approaches almost interchangeably, which it seems
to me leaves the question unanswered as to which if either he believes
about language and cognition, or if he acknowledges this as an
important problem at all. For example, he begins his introduction by
talking about the need to address the "linguistic representation of
concepts" (indicating that the concepts are first structured) while
later, he talks in terms of language as a concept structuring system by
which, he says, "language shapes concepts". Talmy also avoids
philosophical discussion of objectivism and subjectivism as a duality,
by acknowledging the need to establish the factuality of an event
together with the perspective of the speaker who associates it with a
I would be remiss however, if I failed to point out that despite what
appears to be the lack on the author's part of noting key references,
many of Talmy's papers which have been incorporated into the current
collection predate several significant contributions to the field. In
some cases, while he does not revise the discussion within the body of
the text to accommodate more recent scholarship, his chapter endnotes
make reference to some of these subsequent works. In this sense, his
own originality should be acknowledged, as well as the rigor which, in
the eyes of some, vindicate the social science method applied to
As a more practical comment, I mention the usefulness this book as a
resource text for an undergraduate course I taught on Romance Syntax,
in which I wanted to take into account the work of cognitive semantics
into the semantics-syntax interface. For this work, I found the
chapters on grammar and cognition and fictive motion very helpful for
my course preparations and accessible to students.

MEM23261 - Shircombe Farm, Hawkridge (Building)
Please read the caveat document.
Type and Period (1)
The Tithe Map for Hawkridge shows a single building coloured grey at approximately SS 8462 3083 and a further structure to the east, at c. SS 8466 3082. It is not clear whether this group has been incorporated into the more recent farmstead but it appears more likely that they were knocked down to make way for the newer buildings (see MSO11738).  The buildings shown on the Tithe Map appear to have been removed by the time the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map was surveyed. The farm buildings at SS 8464 3085, SS 8463 3085, SS 8466 3084 (which was originally much larger than it is now) and SS84643083 and the pond at SS 8461 3083 are shown on this map. An Ordnance Survey bench mark is depicted on the western elevation of the small building at SS 8463 3085. [2,4] By the time the 2nd Edition map was drawn, the buildings extant at SS 8461 3084 and SS 8463 3083 had also been erected. [3,4] The farmstead was visited in January 1997. The house was thought to date to the 19th Century, with a large conservatory added recently to the front elevation. It was said to be situated end on to a long yard. A mid 19th Century barn was also seen, with a rubble and slate roof and later buttresses, as well as other minor buildings such as piggeries, a plain cart shed and a late 19th Century small gabled rubble building at the west end of the yard.

Did you know?
While searching through www.holidayinsights.com, I discovered several fun-sounding celebrations taking place in the next few days. They all fall on different dates, but that sounds like a good reason to observe them multiple times. Did you know that, according to the website, July 21 is National Hot Dog Day; July 23 is Vanilla Ice Cream Day; and July 25 is National Chili Dog Day.
If you celebrate them all together, you can enjoy a great hot dog with (or without) chili, and ice cream for dessert. And by the way, why not enjoy it all as you watch the opening day ceremony of the summer Olympics as the site noted that takes place July 23 with closing ceremony Aug. 8.

By Andrea Lhotka, Public Services Librarian
Sedona AZ (February 22, 2013) – Sedona Public Library offers a variety of databases containing magazine articles and other resources to address your questions about a broad range of topics, including automotive maintenance and repair, consumer products, current events, health, science, and more. Databases are a helpful source of factual, reliable, and current information. For example, one database available through the Library, called NoveList, can supply the name of the next novel in your favorite series and recommend similar books. Others can assist you in finding a job, writing a business plan, preparing a school report, or learning how to speak a foreign language.
All you need to use our databases is your library card number and PIN, or in the case of the databases provided by the Arizona State Library, your zip code. From any computer with Internet access, go to our Web site at www.sedonalibrary.org, click on “Find Articles & More,” and select “Databases A to Z.” Choose the desired database link and enter the requested login information.
Before we take a look at some of the databases available from the Library, let’s briefly define what a database is, as many people are unfamiliar with this term. Simply put, a database is a collection of digital information organized for rapid searching and retrieval. For instance, a database can contain tens of thousands of magazine articles that you can search through far more quickly than if you were browsing a physical collection of magazines. Databases provide search screens that enable you to specify the information you need by entering search terms.
Here are descriptions of a few of our most popular databases:
We provide access to the online version of Consumer Reports, the finest source of advice on consumer products. Consumer Reports is a publication of Consumers Union—an independent, nonprofit organization committed to bringing up-to-date, reliable, and unbiased information to the public. Whether you need product reviews or want to stay informed about recalls, you will find helpful articles on Consumer Reports online.
Auto Repair Reference Center
Auto Repair Reference Center (ARRC) is ideal for those interested in diagnosing and repairing problems with their cars. Additionally, if you’re in the market for a used car, you can see what issues to expect and what maintenance should have been done by the previous owner. Whether you’re rebuilding an engine or changing your oil, ARRC provides clear instructions to help you do the job. More than 33,000 vehicles ranging from 1945 to the present are covered, and the database includes nearly 800,000 diagrams and photographs.
This database is an online platform of self-paced learning tools and is one important resource the Library is providing to job seekers, in addition to lifelong learners and students. This database includes a collection of more than 1,000 practice tests and skills tutorials for academic and career advancement, plus more than 200 e-books. You can prepare for professional certification and licensing, take a practice GED test, or improve your resume and cover letter by using LearningExpress Library.
Mango Languages is an online system that teaches conversation skills for a large selection of foreign languages. Mango uses real-life circumstances and actual conversations to more effectively teach a new language. By listening to and repeating the discussions of native speakers, you’ll not only learn the individual words and phrases, you’ll know how they’re used in practical situations. With Mango, you’ll learn more than grammar, vocabulary, and conjugation—you’ll learn how to communicate.
This is just a brief tour of some of the databases available from Sedona Public Library. We’re also excited to announce two new databases that will added in the future—Zinio, an online platform for reading popular magazines, and Universal Class, a continuing-education database. More information about these new resources will be announced in an upcoming e-newsletter.
Sedona Public Library is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation supported by donations and grants. Your tax-deductible donation may be sent to: Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road, Sedona, AZ 86336.

This week over at Lasting Memories the challenge is to make your own background. I happened to be playing the other day with the Twinkle Toes Cartridge and cut a BUNCH of frames out. When I pulled the paper off I realized I had an AWESOME background, all I had to do was lay it on my white cardstock and spray with some Glimmer Mist! So, this came together pretty easy, and there are SO MANY ways you can make your own background!
Here is my take:
a close up of my swirls and flower:
another flower, LOVE the stickles on the edges of the petals:
Twinkle Toes Cartridge for the background.
Home Decor for the swirls and flowers, I cut the flower apart and then pieced it back together.
I also used Liquid Pearls and Stickles.
The Lace and buttons are from my stash.
Happy Birthday is from DCWV.
Thanks BUNCHES for stopping by and taking a look! I hope you play along this week with us over at Lasting Memories!

Here's what's been going on in the shop on the milling machine the past few weeks:
Feb 7, 2008
The timing gears that I bought seem to be a bit pricy ($16 for the large one, $9 for the small one) so I thought I'd try my hand at casting some from the originals in aluminum. I made a mold using OOMOO silicon. They turned out pretty good.
Then I made wax copies from paraffin wax. I'll be messing with investment and molten aluminum at a later date.
Feb 16, 2008
I'll be using an old computer case to hold the motherboard and the CNC controller as well as the power supplies.
Feb 23, 2008
Today was a monumental day! Alive! It's Alive!
I did a test run with a laptop (it didn't work - I had to scrounge together the parts for a PC) and laid out the CNC controller, connected the motors and it worked!
The computer set up:
The motors connected:
The machine cutting!
And for your viewing pleasure, a couple short videos. The first one drawing the famed 'road runner' GCode file that comes with Mach3, and the second one actually cutting the same pattern in aluminum.
It's pretty exiting, and just a little bit creepy, watching those hand-wheels turning by themselves.
I learned a couple of things from this test, the most important being that even with a 2:1 gear ratio, the 120 oz-inch steppers that I'm using aren't nearly powerful enough to run a full-size milling machine. I ordered new 305 oz-inch steppers from Hobby CNC last weekend and hope they arrive soon. I've already got plans in mind for a Dremel-powered mini router table using the 120 oz-inch steppers
I'm also only testing the x and y axis of the machine as I haven't made up the bracket to hold the motor for the z axis.
Feb 29, 2008
Tada! The bracket for the z axis. A few adjustments to make, but it's shaping up nicely.

What will the NHL refuse to concede in CBA lockout stalemate with players?
The NHL and the NHLPA are engaged in more posturing serious talks at Rao's an undisclosed location on Tuesday in New York, attempting to end a lockout that has claimed over a month of scheduled games, the 2013 Winter Classic and any semblance of decorum between Darren Dreger and Allan Walsh on Twitter.
The battle line's drawn rather starkly: The NHLPA has made honoring current contracts its rallying cry, months after revenue sharing was its cause du jour.
[Also: Martin Brodeur favors short season, like when he won Cup in '94-95]
The NHL is sticking to its proposed framework for a deal like it was Flick's tongue to a metal pole; a framework that included a "make whole" proposal to honor existing contracts but that also offered several other provisions that were less palatable for the players: The 50/50 revenue split, the rookie maximum contracts of two years, a maximum contract length of five years and a cap of five percent above or below the first year's level of compensation for salary during the contract's term.
Andy Strickland of TrueHockey.com believes the NHLPA won't cut a deal unless the NHL moves on "contract rights."
The good news is that some of these NHL demands were put in place for the sake of negotiation: No one believes the majority of the owners want a 5-year cap on contracts when even the most hawkish ones were handing out 6-year terms this summer (hi, Jeremy Jacobs). So the NHL will come up a year or two in "good faith" and the wheels inch closer to the destination for these talks.
Again: Some of the NHL's sticking points are flexible. Others, not so much. So what will Gary Bettman and the owners fight for at this stage of the talks?
Larry Brooks of the NY Post expects the NHL to push free agency later and toss first-year players under ye olde bus:
Several individuals have told us the league will be willing to negotiate off its proposed five-year contract term limit and 5-percent variance on annual salary, though the NHL does seem committed to increasing unrestricted free agency requirements by a year in experience and/or age, to eight years and/or 28, and likely will dig in on its proposed Entry Level changes.
The AHL provision and the punitive retroactive punishment regarding front-loaded long-term contracts previously registered by the league are as much team issues as NHLPA issues, both restrictions aimed at the heart of successful big-market teams and aimed at the offices of general managers who from time to time make mistakes.
Then there are issues like AHL salaries counting on the cap and all of the various debates about Hockey Related Revenue, but these are the meaty issues facing the two sides.
[Eric Adelson: With no Winter Classic, players should take it outside]
Can the NHLPA agree to a deal with new restrictions on rookie contracts? Sure, but only because one imagines the vast majority of players aren't in this fight to preserve the integrity of the entry level contract.
Can the NHLPA agree to a deal that includes delayed unrestricted free agency? Tough call. The players know that's when the owners can't help themselves in spending, and it's potentially cutting another year into their prime.
Will the NHLPA agree to a deal that costs the players anything they maintained in the previous CBA?
That's the real test, when Donald Fehr's mantra has been: "After all the concessions the players made last time, in the billions of dollars, and with the owners having had record revenues seven years in a row, and the two highest growth years being last season and the season before, we see no basis upon which to tell players to go backward."
As for the NHL ... hey, maybe the sponsors can have an affect on when this thing gets done, according to Ad Age.

At this point most people who are paying attention to this corner of the music world know what a master Will Yip is at producing records. His work is always fantastic, but it can be hard, based solely on listening, to nail down his sound. This is because he doesn’t have one. Each one of his records seems to have a completely different tone, making it more about the band’s songs and performances than any kind of studio trickery; Turnover’s latest LP Peripheral Vision is no exception.
Where most of their contemporaries are still barreling down the 90’s Emo/Alternative road, Turnover have decided to take the scenic route, which seems to have led them to a sound with a lot of 80’s influence. Look no further than the music video for “New Scream” for evidence. The song features Johnny Marr-esque guitar lines over a vocal with harmonies worthy of Genesis-era Phil Collins. The music video itself looks and sounds like a transfer from a VHS tape, which only adds another awesome layer to the song, though thankfully—at least for some people—this effect is not present on the studio version.
The other two singles from the record, “Cutting my Fingers Off” and “Humming” follow a similar sonic formula, each showcasing the band’s strong songwriting and composing abilities. Examples include the former’s line “You always said that every thought I had was geometric/ I couldn’t think outside my own mind” and the latter’s melody during the line “Without you I won’t make it out/I don’t think I’ll make it out alive.” It’s obvious that Turnover are taking their already strong abilities to the next level, and what’s most impressive about that is the fact that they leave such an impression only three songs in to the album.
Other highlights include “Dizzy on the Comedown” which is a midtempo track that I can only describe as heavy, but not in the way of sound; rather, in the way the music makes the listener feel. It’s cathartic, and makes you want to sit in a chair and not get up until the hypnosis of the album ends. “Take My Head” might be one of the most Smiths-y songs that the smiths didn’t actually write. The big muff’d rhythm guitar is the most 90’s sounding that Peripheral Vision gets, while the upbeat, dance-y beat manages to keep it feeling a bit lighter and happier than the rest of the album, until the 2 o’ clack mark hits, and leaves you in a groggy haze, that quickly cuts back to the uptempo swing before you know what to do. The reworked version of “I Would Hate You If I Could” is another absolute gem. One thing I hate with reworked songs is that vocalists tend to play around with their melodies far more than necessary. Turnover refuses to subscribe to this method, instead leaving the melodies largely intact and opting only for a more full-sounding, slightly dreamy instrumental.
The final result of the band’s hard work certainly pays off. The band ends up sounding more confident on Peripheral Vision than they did on Magnolia. They’ve managed to deliver a record that is even more enjoyable, (No small feat considering how damn good Magnolia is) and is sure to be just as pleasing to fans as it must be to them. By experimenting with the more 80’s-inspired sounds, they’ve created something that sounds fresh and new, but also anchored in the past, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Each year, Deloitte brings you the “Global Human Capital Trends.” Over 3,300 companies from 106 countries are surveyed and the result is a comprehensive understanding of the most important trends and changes in the field of human resource management of the year. This year, there are 10 trends which you can read about here. But what do these trends mean concretely? What changes do they bring about and, especially, what benefit do they have for my company and how can I implement them?
Week by week we will take a deeper look at one of the trends and summarize the most important lessons for you.
10 Weeks – 10 Trends – Many Changes
Trend 2: Workforce-On-Demand – The Use Of Worldwide Talent
In the USA, 34% of employees work as so-called “open talents,” or freelancers that take on work contracts. The number of freelancers is also rising steadily in Germany. Companies benefit from this exchange, as they have the opportunity to draw on resources and competencies spontaneously and temporarily. What is missing for companies, however, are systems of organization for this additional labor force.
The shift from classical work relations to “workforce on demand” needs an HR solution for employee management. However, how would a CEO reinvent his or her company to fit this model? First and foremost: Adapt yourself! Even if you do not presently hire freelancers, the day will likely come sooner than you think.
Go through your resources once again and clearly define where the strengths of your company lie and in which areas input is still necessary. This is how you can find out where there is potential demand for these employment opportunities.
Your Task: Equip Your Company To Be Ready For Open Talent:
- Inform yourself on the subject with your HR managers and exchange ideas
- Define clear goals and possible resources for future use
- Develop a framework for how possible collaborations might look like
No obligations, no credit card needed!

Covid: Party held in Cardiff Bay despite restrictions
Huge crowds have again gathered in Cardiff Bay, despite coronavirus restrictions still being in place.
Hundreds of people were seen partying close together on the steps outside the Senedd on Friday evening.
It follows similar scenes outside the same building earlier in the week, when three police officers were injured and litter was dumped on the waterfront.
Cardiff council leader Huw Thomas said people who took part should be "deeply ashamed of themselves".
Covid rules state only six people from two different households can meet outdoors.
On videos posted on Twitter, people could be seen singing and drinking from later afternoon and well into the evening.
Mr Thomas said police had taken over from council marshals, who had been patrolling the site in the day, after the situation "escalated".
BBC Wales has attempted to contact South Wales Police for comment. It is not known if any arrests have been made.
Math Wiliam, who lives in Cardiff Bay and works for a Plaid Cymru Member of the Senedd and is a member of the party, said: "There were hundreds, possibly over 1,000 people, out in Cardiff Bay engaging in what I would describe as partying, with the largest cohort assembled on the steps of the Senedd.
"There was no adherence to social distancing rules, which was unsurprising given that many people were heavily under the influence."
He added the number of people coming to the bay had been "increasing daily".
BBC Wales reporter Mark Hutchings said "hundreds" were gathered and it was "calm, if noisy, at the time, though no social distancing".
Mr Thomas said: "We have been in close communication with the police throughout the day.
"This is concerning and disappointing. It flies in the face of the regulations, which are there to keep us safe.
"I anticipate a bombsite there tomorrow. We'd put out extra wheelie bins, but rubbish is just being dumped. The clear-up will mean an unnecessary cost to the council and so the taxpayer.
"But this is about public health and a clear abuse of the rules. I worry about a spike in cases after this. It in fact risks prolonging restrictions, rather than easing them, as people there seemed to be complaining about."
It comes after a student launched an online petition for more bins in Cardiff Bay after rubbish was dumped there earlier in the week.
Wales' Covid restrictions were eased last Saturday, with people allowed to travel anywhere within the country and meet a maximum of six different people from two different households outdoors.
However, pubs remain closed until at least 26 April and it is still against the rules to travel between Wales and the other UK nations without a reasonable excuse.
Earlier this week, police said violence and anti-social behaviour would "not be tolerated" as people gathered in the same area on Tuesday.
South Wales Police said a number of missiles, including bottles, were thrown at officers, three of whom suffered minor injuries, during the disorder earlier in the week.
Cardiff council said on Wednesday that it had taken three hours to clean up the "unacceptable amount of litter" in Cardiff Bay and the city's parks.

Due to go into a limited production run next year, a special ethanol-powered version of the 9-5 executive range is the direction Saab will go for its future alternatively-powered cars.
Fleet News has been among the first behind the wheel of the Saab that achieves the seemingly impossible compromise as the Swedish company prepares to launch a Europe-wide campaign to prove the viability, practicality and economic arguments showing ethanol – known in fuel form as E85 and derived from agricultural crops or forest residues – as the most effective short-term alternative to petrol.
‘As far as we are concerned, this is the only way to go,’ enthused Saab GB managing director Jonathan Nash as we climbed out of the bright red 9-5 Aero estate after an exhilarating drive through the countryside around the company’s manufacturing centre at Trollhattan.
Fast is the only word for the 2.3-litre prototype with the power to reach 62mph from standstill in just six seconds and capable of topping 180mph all-out with its electronic speed limiter removed.
The BioPower cars are able to run on E85 or petrol without adjustment, but the 2.0-litre motor, which will be the size of the production model, develops 20% greater power on green fuel – because it has a much higher octane rating – producing 180bhp and 207lb-ft torque compared with 150bhp and 177lb-ft for petrol.
Ethanol also returns up to 15% improved economy.
When it was first fitted to the prototype, the engine was producing 330bhp, but factory development engineers have had to detune it after several transmission failures as a result of overload.
The model, the most powerful so far to wear a Saab badge, is being honed for use as a performance flagship to help underline the big message about ethanol.
‘Having a vehicle like this to show will be a very effective way to demonstrate the point that the fuel it uses is grown and not fossil-based – which makes it CO2-neutral and represents a big step toward conserving oil supplies as well as putting the brake on greenhouse gas emissions,’ said Nash.
Given the enlightened view on environmental matters in Sweden, Saab’s first commercial step in the campaign will come with the launch of 9-5 BioPower 2.0-litre models on the domestic market.
Though the new alternative range will not reach showrooms until June, the ethanol cars are already accounting for 95% of orders – which is not surprising, considering the incentives on offer from the company and the Swedish government, the first to respond to an EU bid for tax cuts on bio-fuels.


The exterior style of this vehicle is a stopper, inch for inch, its sleek and impressive lines has on more than I care to count explicit compliments from ladies and strangers on the street. The performance of this machine is so fantastic. When one needs power, there is more than one could hope for in a smaller vehicle. I have an automatic and can burn rubber when I punch it at 25 miles per hour. One minor downside is its blind spot, but the mirrors are well designed to compensate. When one sits in this car and turns on the dynamic sound system, one feels as if one is truly "one" with the vehicle. I love driving on winding, country roads..this baby hugs the pavement.
I purchased a 2006 Eclipse GS Automatic with only 60,000 miles on it just last week. It came equipped with the Rockford Fosgate premium stereo system with subwoofer. I'm in love with this car literally. It's a real head turner. Acceleration is fantastic especially when pulling onto the highway or changing lanes, plenty of power to zoom around. The blue colored dash lights are a wicked cool feature. The bucket seats give it that extra sporty feel. The stereo system doesn't come with an AUX input jack unfortunately but I purchased an OEM Mitsubishi cable online so I will install it myself into the rear of the stereo system. Overall I love this car & wouldn't trade it for anything.
Okay...I have only had this car for a week. I bought it used with 55k miles. I will update this if I run into any problems, but I am confident that I won't have to. The car looks sweet and turns heads. I took the Eclipse lettering off of the back to create an extra clean look. It is extremely powerful and responsive with acceleration and handling thanks to the 6 speed manual transmission. The RF sound system is one of the best systems I have heard. The car feels sturdy too. No rattles out of the hatchback or anywhere for that matter. The blue instrumental lighting is nice too. As for the person that paid $300 per tire, I found good year 18in tires for $140, and that was brand new.
I bought my Eclipse used with 17K miles on it. I now have 29K and it has not so much as hiccuped. It's powerful, fun to drive, and I get compliments almost daily. The RF system is AWESOME, best stock system I've ever owned (and there have been many). It's a relatively comfortable ride for a sports car and I've taken it on several long road trips. The backseat is best suited for those under 5'4" but at least it has one. The curb weight gives the car a substantial, safe feel. The stock tires are not as sticky as I'd like in slippery conditions. Probably the main negative point for me is the turning radius. Also, the powerful engine combined with FWD equals major torque steer at times.
This was the 1st 2006 sold in the Middle TN area and my 2nd Eclipse. I now have 57,000 miles and is still going strong. The original brakes squealed and had to replace with ceramic brakes. It is extremely quick and fun to drive. The sound system is top notch but the display could be a little more sophisticated. The original tires have lasted 57,000 miles and just now need to be replaced. If only the resale value was better.

The stock market closed higher on Monday – rebounding from its biggest sell-off of the year on Friday – as investors reevaluated the potential impact of the Covid-Omicron variant on the markets after optimistic comments from President Joe Biden.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.8% to over 250 points, while the S&P 500 rose over 1.4% and the Nasdaq Composite rose 1.9%.
The market rebounded after President Joe Biden said in a press conference Monday that “no lockdown is required” in response to the new variant of Covid-Omicron.
The stocks rebounded from the holiday-cut session on Friday, the worst day in the market since October 2020: the Dow slipped over 900 points to around 2.5%, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq by more than 2.2%.
The sale on Friday came after the World Health Organization described the strain of Covid-Omicron, which was first reported in South Africa and is now appearing in other countries around the world, as a “worrying variant.”
While that news scared investors last week, stocks that were hardest hit by the sell-off – namely, travel stocks like cruise lines and airlines – largely rebounded on Monday.
Vaccine maker stocks, which soared on Friday amid the Omicron news, continued to surge on Monday as Moderna rose over 11% and BioNTech rose 4%.

UK development would be the slowest within the G7 in 2024, Labour evaluation of the newest financial forecasts exhibits, as Keir Starmer mentioned that the financial local weather would stop him from going to school at this time.
The opposition mentioned the economic system was “caught in a low-growth entice” that had led to increased taxes, increased costs within the outlets, and the British folks worse off.
The Financial institution of England’s financial coverage report for August mentioned development was set to be weaker subsequent yr than beforehand anticipated, downgraded from 0.75% to 0.5%. Labour mentioned this meant the UK would expertise the slowest development amongst G7 nations.
The economic system has change into a key political battleground for each events, with Labour sticking rigidly to its spending plans to underline its fiscal duty and the Tories nonetheless attempting to restore the reputational injury attributable to the Liz Truss period.
In a private admission, Starmer mentioned he wouldn’t have been capable of afford to check legislation on the College of Leeds if the economic system had been in an analogous place within the early Eighties, accusing the federal government of “holding again” ambition and expertise and “choking off the goals” of a technology.
As hundreds of college leavers undergo college clearing this week, the Labour chief warned that if there had been an analogous financial state of affairs and hovering costs in his day it could have “stopped my dream chilly in its tracks”.
He mentioned: “There wasn’t any spare cash knocking round to fund me going to Leeds. I labored earlier than I went after which bought by on grants, as many younger folks do. I vividly keep in mind fastidiously calculating lease, payments and meals.
“Going to Leeds to check was a turning level for me; it is going to be a deep betrayal if one of many legacies of this Tory authorities is college, apprenticeships and abilities changing into the protect of the rich.”
He added: “That bold and profitable college students are making selections about their subsequent steps primarily based on prices and their monetary means ought to disgrace the Conservatives. Tory financial failure choking off the goals of the subsequent technology is a deep betrayal of aspirational Britain.
“Expertise and aspiration ought to drive younger folks – not the affordability of lease, or hovering meals costs. I vividly keep in mind the thrill of transferring to Leeds to check legislation. It was a monetary stretch then; if I have been a pupil at this time, I wouldn’t be capable to go.”
Starmer’s intervention got here because the Tories launched schooling week, with bulletins anticipated on the names of recent free faculties in disadvantaged elements of England.

O’Brien takes the helm for a two-year term, having served since 2001 on the organization’s board and chaired three committees during that time.
“The United Way plays a role that government and other agencies don’t play and can’t play,” O’Brien said. “I think being a leader in Pittsburgh, following in the footsteps of guys like (PNC Financial Services Chairman and CEO) Jim Rohr, they’ve shown that giving back not only their money but their time is important.”
For the past year-and-a-half, O’Brien has chaired the agency’s effort to expand its 2-1-1 program from Allegheny County to an 11-county area in southwestern Pennsylvania. Launched in July 2011, the program is a hotline for people in need of social services. A 2-1-1 call is answered by a call-center operator trained to assess the caller’s needs, such as trouble paying utility bills or accessing mental health referral services, and to link the caller with agencies that can help.
Under O’Brien’s leadership, the program has secured financial pledges from regional utilities totaling about $1 million per year for the next three years. It will cost about $1.5 million annually to run it through a contract with a Highmark call center.
“That’s the Morgan O’Brien story — he took something that was a good idea and he’s making it a great idea,” said Robert Nelkin, president and chief professional officer of the United Way of Allegheny County.
O’Brien guessed it was his passion for the program that caught the eye of the United Way board. He was right.
“It was a big deal,” said David Malone, president and CEO of Gateway Financial Group and chairman of the United Way’s Governance Committee, who called it O’Brien’s biggest achievement with the organization.
“Morgan’s like a quiet force in our community. He’s very thoughtful. He’s an extremely compassionate, empathetic guy,” he said.
And, “he’s so cute,” Malone stressed. “He’s the cuddliest little bear.”

THE GILPIN TRAM by Hollenback is one of the rare things that many Gilpin Tram lovers probably don't have. Back when I lived in Denver (about 1969), I stopped by the Denver Public Library on a snowy day to visit their Western History Collection. I was just wanting to spend some time looking at narrow gauge books instead of going to work in the snow. I found this little book and was really enthralled! I don't believe Ferrell or anybody else (except for some articles) had written about this wonderful little 2 footer. I thought about this book over the years while I bought the published works from "mainstream" sources. It was a nice memory. Then one day about a year ago, I remembered it and checked ABE bookseller to see if by chance a copy was around. WOW...some dude in Australia had one and while I needed the money to pay the bills, I bought it. When it arrived, I was amazed that here was a book about a Colorado railroad with a rubber stamped owner from New Mexico sold by a guy across the world and I was in Dallas! What a much loved and well traveled book it is!
64 pages and just 9" by 6" and full of neat photos and even drawings of the GT rolling stock (later shown in the large Gilpin Era book). Written by Frank R. Hollenback, published by Sage Books in Denver back in 1958, I assume that this is the ONLY printing and it is surely the "star" of my collection. What can I say about this one...sure it ain't the big historical and photographic work of later publications but it is my most memorable and prized book...and I have a bunch of narrow gauge books!
I don't know if you can find a copy but for anybody who wants and needs the research about this most famous Western 2 footer, it is worth the search. As you can guess, I would sell all my books if I needed to but this I will carry with me no matter what.

The New Orleans Public Belt Railroad spent about $2.8 million in recent years refurbishing three Prohibition-era Pullman coaches for use in touring the railway's facilities and plying potential clients with top-notch liquor and gourmet meals.
The railroad was created by municipal ordinance in 1900 in order to provide economical and efficient rail service to the Port of New Orleans. Owned by the city, it is operated by a Board of Commissioners representing both electoral and business interests. Construction began in 1905 and operations started in 1908.

Circle Wedding Cakes
Think of a traditional wedding cake, and chances are, you will immediately envision a tiered white cake with round layers. Round, or circle, wedding cakes are the standard for tradition. Whether the layers are separated by columns, or rest one upon another, it is safe to say that the majority of tiered cakes favor layers that are round in shape. In recent years, bakers have added interest to the otherwise traditional (and sometimes unexciting) profile of a round cake by stacking layers that are very similar in size, or by varying the height of various layers. But regardless of the size and height, circle wedding cakes are here to stay. And what could be more appropriate to signify and celebrate unending love, than the circle?
As I look outside the window today it’s a sea of white. A fresh layer of snow covers the ground which (of course) made me start thinking about the traditional all white wedding cake.
I do love all the non-traditional wedding cakes I feature here – the bright colored cakes, the black fondant cakes, the whimsical cakes. But in the end, nothing beats that all-white wedding cake in all its elegance and charm. Read More
It might still be the middle of January, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start thinking about spring. Because believe it or not, the month of January will eventually end. Really.
So with that in mind – and thoughts of spring sneaking in to these cold winter days – let’s talk about this all-white stunner of a wedding cake. Read More
As winter continues its relentless grip on most of the country I have decided it’s time to dream about summer and beach weddings.
Which brings me to today’s nautical, beach-inspired wedding cake.
Don’t you feel warmer just looking at this cake? I can almost imagine the beach wedding, right on the sand, with the sun shining down.
OK, enough daydreaming. Back to this cake. Read More
This cake is so non-traditional and it’s not for everyone.
But I love it!
Now you’ll probably need to be a rather modern, edgy bride to choose black fondant as the icing on your wedding cake. But if this is what you’re looking for in a wedding cake I say go for it!
I love the modern vibe of this cake. I love the bright colors. It could be my new favorite cake. Read More
As we trudge headlong into the cold, brutal months of winter it only seemed fitting that I would showcase a cake that made me think of warmer temperatures and bright sunny days.
This lovely white cake with fresh blooms is that cake!
I love the rustic charm of the cake, sitting atop a small tree stump. Of course, if tree stumps as decor aren’t your cup of tea the cake would also look lovely on a more traditional cake stand. Read More
Baby it’s cold outside!
So, let’s dream about a destination wedding in a warm, tropical, and beach-y location. And at this wedding your theme is seashells.
Lots and lots of seashells.
And this gorgeous one-tier cake is your beach-inspired, seashell-topped wedding cake.
I love this cake. Maybe it’s because I love the beach and collecting shells. Or maybe it’s because it reminds me of summer. Either way, I think this would be a lovely cake at your beach wedding. Read More
Baby it’s cold outside!
So why not pick a cake for your winter wedding that reminds your guests of a warm – and very stylish – sweater?
OK, that doesn’t sound very intriguing does it? But just look at this beautiful all-white wedding cake and tell me it’s not stunning!
Aside from the whole all-white-cake vibe going on, just look at the design on this cake. It reminds me of one of those very cozy winter ski sweaters that are all the rage during the winter. Read More
There’s something to be said for an elegant, one-tier wedding cake.
With a smaller cake there’s no muss, no fuss but the cake can still steal the show.
While I’m a fan of big, elegant and fancy wedding cakes I also like the smaller cakes.
Whether you’re hosting a small, intimate reception and you don’t need a big cake, or you’re planning on serving other desserts (cupcakes, a dessert bar, or maybe a cheese wedding cake) – a one-tier cake can be perfect for so many reasons. Read More

The human body is an intricate network of interrelated organs and systems, requiring a holistic approach to maintain overall well-being. Achieving optimal health involves nurturing physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of one’s being. Prioritizing balance and harmony within the body aligns with the fundamental principles of holistic health and wellness.
High Blood Pressure is a condition caused by elevated pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of arteries. More than 1.1 billion people suffer from high blood pressure worldwide. If left untreated, high blood pressure can also increase the risk of stroke and death. Additionally, we can also take some preventive steps at home to manage your blood pressure better
Here are foods that can help in lowering blood pressure:
Hibiscus tea is packed with anthocyanin and other antioxidants. The two work together in preventing the narrowing of the blood vessels.
Leafy greens are high in potassium which helps to lower blood pressure by counteracting the effects of sodium. Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, beetroot, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, and garlic.
Beans, pulses, and lentils are rich in protein, fiber, and other nutrients that help to lower blood pressure by promoting healthy blood vessel function and reducing inflammation.
Similarly, nuts like almonds, pistachios, and walnuts are high in potassium, magnesium, and fiber all of which can help in lowering blood pressure
Wholegrains especially rolled oats contain a type of fiber called beta-glucan, which helps lower blood pressure too. Overall, including these foods in a balanced healthy diet will enhance overall heart health.
Celery Juice contains 3-n butylphthalide, which relaxes the muscle walls of the blood vessels. Blood pressure decreases as the blood vessels dilate and allow food to flow easier and more freely
Even if you are high on medication for high blood pressure, consuming flaxseed will be beneficial for you. The brown seeds contain alpha-linolenic acid, lignans, peptides, and fiber that can be helpful in lowering hypertension.

Thirty thousand residents of Southwestern Alaska will get broadband internet service under a grant announced today (Thursday) – using federal stimulus money.
The twenty five million dollar grant to the Rivada Sea Lion corporation will provide reliable, high-speed service to fifty three un-served communities in a ninety thousand square mile part of the state. In a brief mention of the project late yesterday, White House staffers said it will provide satellite and wireless service — rather than traditional cables – and will offer low-price internet to homes, businesses, schools, health centers and traditional tribal and government facilities.
Jonathon Adelsteen, with the U-S Department of Agriculture, said the grant is one of the first to be awarded using stimulus money – but many more will come next year.
We are focusing at USDA on really reaching rural areas that are otherwise hard to reach that aren’t well-served by broadband in order to promote their economic development. Having broadband is a critical element of rural communities reaching their highest potential for economic growth and for vitality. We are therefore focusing in the first round on some of the most remote communities to be sure we put the funding out in the most remote areas first.
Rivada Sea Lion is headquartered in Anchorage and is a subsidiary of the Village Corporation of Hooper Bay.

Did you know 1 in 8 babies in the US are born premature? Claire is 1 in 8, weighing barely 4lbs when she was born. She has struggled to overcome some of the issues resulting from her prematurity but with the help of modern medicine, an exceptional NICU and a team of amazing doctors she is happy and healthy.
November is Premature Awareness month. I am thankful for organizations like the March of Dimes that work to help mothers have full term babies and research the problems the threaten babies lives.


For years filmmakers have been trying to reinvent the musical. "Evita" went big, "My Best Friend's Wedding" sneaked musical numbers into its semi-standard romantic comedy, the "South Park" movie mocked the cartoon musical while besting it with genuinely catchy tunes, "Love's Labour's Lost" was an homage to the Fred and Ginger sing-songs of the 1930s.
But no one has succeeded in making a truly modern movie musical, one that employs emerging filmmaking techniques instead of reaching back 50 years for inspiration. In fact, no one has ever even attempted something like "Dancer In the Dark."
Writer and director Lars von Trier -- the reclusive Dane behind the minimalist Dogme95 movement that espouses natural lighting, no props and handheld cameras -- discovers a way to marry his trademark sparseness with the unfettered showmanship of song and dance numbers in this daring retooling of the musical genre.

A native of Winston-Salem, NC, Claire Culbreath began her career as a pianist at the age of eight years old when she received private lessons of the music of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. At seventeen, she received a music scholarship to Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory, NC where she majored in Piano Performance. Claire continued her studies at the College of Charleston in Charleston, SC with classical pianist Dr. Enrique Graf. She then enrolled at East Carolina University where she studied classical piano with Dr. Henry Doskey and jazz improvisation with Dr. Paul Tardif and Dr. Caroll Dashielle. The director of Music Therapy, Dr. Barbara Memory, introduced Claire to the field of music therapy. While pursuing a music therapy degree, Claire completed practicums with the emotionally handicapped, Down’s Syndrome children and geriatric individuals. She received her Bachelor of Music degree in Music Therapy at East Carolina University.
During her music therapy internship at the Veterans Hospital in Salem, VA, Claire’s eyesight began to fail due to diabetes and she was no longer able to fulfill her dreams as a musician and music therapist.
Shortly after her loss of sight, she suffered kidney failure. In 2000, she received a kidney transplant, donated by her brother, Scott. Claire thought then that she would never be able to play music again. Four years later, she met a piano teacher, singer/songwriter and member of the local band, “Joe Next Door“, Michael “Zoo” Zeoli, who helped her play the piano by ear. Performances followed on the piano and in song.
In 2006, Claire ran into her long time friend and now boyfriend, John Brandon. They formed a duo called “Shadowbox Two“, which later became the “Claire Culbreath Duo“. After performing together for several years, they decided they wanted a bigger sound. They now have a variety band together, that they are very proud of, called “Shades of Blue”.
They perform regularly at coffee houses, restaurants, charity events and vineyards. For more info. On the band and to hear their music, go to:
John accompanies Claire on the acoustic and electric guitars. He is a great addition to her music and spirit. They share a special bond together with their love for music
And for each other. Claire also performs regularly at several retirement homes and churches. Her guide dog Shadow, a beautiful black lab, is always by her side. She is also seldomly asked to speak and give her testimony. Audiences are inspired by songs and words that are uplifting and heartfelt.


How To Use The Gartner Hype Cycle Technology Adoption Curve
Welcome once again to Viral Octopus Magazine’s Knowledge series. This week, we are talking about tech adoption insights. Research and advisory company Gartner’s Jackie Fenn put quite a feather in their cap back in 1995 when he came up with a general hypothesis about the typical technology adoption curve that came to be called the Gartner Hype Cycle. While the hypothesis might not describe the path of every technology, it often seems to fit. Let’s jump into the details and see how you can apply the theory.
