Robot Unicorn Attack FTW!!!

This has got the be the gayest game ever! Love it max!!! The best part is that when you do well, you get to hear the Erasure song in full lol!

I just colored my hair via photo editor btw. I'm still too stingy to invest in semi-permanent pastel dye...My mint green hair was fabulous but 1 week duration for a hair color is pretty impractical for me.

Been a pretty tiring, frustrating and stressful day at work. This was just what the doctor ordered! hahaha!

Stay pretty! xx

The Sword with Big Business and O'Brother – Mr Smalls 3.3.14 – Concert Preview and Ticket Giveaway

Monday night concerts are brutal. You just finished catching up on all the work you put off last week, so you're already a day behind. You're tired, slave again to that tyrannical alarm clock, too tired to cook but too broke to order in. All you want to do is watch some House of Cards until it's not too early to pass out for the night.

Unless, that is, Mr. Smalls has a badass hard rock triple bill for less than $20.

Let's start with one of the openers, Big Business. They've recently added a guitarist, but the band is essentially a product of Jared Warren (bass) and Coady Willis (drummer), one half of The Melvins. Their new release, Battlefields Forever, came out last October on Gold Metal Records, a label they created for the sole purpose of releasing this album.

Big Business is probably the most metal of the three bands that will be performing, or at least the sludgiest. Jared Evans growls like Lemmy at the mic, and the way Coady Willis punishes his kit makes you wonder why The Melvins ever needed two drummers. They are another one of those bands that seem to whip up more sound than three men should be capable of producing. If the term "noise metal" wasn't an oxymoron I'd use it here. Here's the ass-pummeling track "Heavy Shoes" off of their new album:

The other opener, O'Brother, hail from Atlanta. The five-piece have toured with Manchester Orchestra and Junius, and comparisons to the latter wouldn't be unfair to either band. They come across as more "alt-metal" than their two touring companions – think Deftones rather than Danzig - and rely upon swells of sound and a quiet/loud dichotomy more so than the chugging riffs of the headliners, The Sword.

The Sword is made up of four dudes from Austin who crank out music that straddles the imaginary line between hard rock and heavy metal. Their most obvious influences are Black Sabbath (musically) and Led Zeppelin (philosophically). They perform songs about mountains, and witches, and women on horseback. There's a section of their website devoted to "lore," and they even do the whole "zoso" symbols for each member of the band.

But there's a lot more going on with The Sword than repackaged classic rock. The band's first couple albums were straight up stoner rock in the vein of Sleep and Kyuss. More recent albums find the tuning and the pace cranked up, as well as the production values. 2012's Apocryphon and the excellent Warp Riders from 2010 are both albums you keep in your car to play before a night of partying. (Odds are you won't be listening to The Sword while fighting Balrogs, but that doesn't mean that a soundtrack shouldn't be made to match Balrog-sized ambitions.) Here's the title track off of that Warp Riders album, complete with riffs and licks o'plenty:

Did we mention The Sword has their own beer?

We are pleased to announce that we have two tickets to giveaway to see this great trio of bands. To enter, email us at "pghmusicreport [at] gmail.com," and put "The Sword" in the subject line. We'll announce the winner Friday night, if we remember. Tickets are available at Ticketweb for $16. That's a bargain any day of the week.

Show Announcement - The Mountain Goats w/Donora - 2.28.14 - CMU Rangos Ballroom - Show Preview

CMU just announced a fantastic show at the Rangos Ballroom this Friday, 2.28 featuring no other than The Mountain Goats. It's quite a get for the student union since The Mountain Goats just played here in April at Carnegie Musical Hall in Homestead. They will be playing with local favorites Donora.

The Mountain Goats - Cry for Judas from Carlo Mirabella-Davis on Vimeo.

From their bio:

The Mountain Goats began life in a Norwalk employee-housing studio apartment that had awesome deco tiling on the bathroom floor but little more to recommend the place as a living space. Still, you take what you can get, and it was ridiculously cheap. In this room, equipped with a dual-cassette recorder, John D. started setting some of his poetry to music, using a guitar he'd gotten for a few bucks at a nearby strip mall music store. His idea at the time was that eventually his day job would be "poet." Young men have all kinds of crazy ideas about what they're going to end up doing for a living.

After a while the songs became more like songs than poems set to music, and John started playing them for his friend Rachel, who as it turned out, played bass. John and Rachel toured the eastern U.S. & Europe once, the midwest twice (if "Chicago, Columbus and Madison" count as "the midwest"), and played San Francisco a few times, and they recorded two albums and a couple of EPs. Then John graduated from college and moved to Chicago, and the Mountain Goats became Mainly Just John, except for a couple of European tours where John's friend Peter Hughes played bass. In 2001, though, 4AD called up and asked if the Mountain Goats wouldn't like to make records with them. John called Peter. They hit the studio.

As a duo, the two toured at a pace that can fairly be called "relentless" from 2002 until 2007. They made records: Tallahassee, We Shall All Be Healed, The Sunset Tree, Get Lonely. They took to recruiting drummers from their opening acts to play the last few songs with them. And then they met Jon Wurster, and the three took to the road in support of Get Lonely, from Fairbanks, Alaska to Hobart, Tasmania, and a few points even further south. They enjoyed playing together so much that when it came time to repair to the studio again, all three went in. In 2008, the three recorded Heretic Pride, and in early 2009, The Life of the World to Come.

Tickets are only $10 compared to $25 at Carnegie Hall. Or if you affiliated with CMU, free. More information here:

Russian Circles at Altar Bar - Show Preview and Ticket Giveaway - 2.23.14

My two former roommates and I are huge fans of anything post-rock or post-metal. The last concert the three of us went to together was Isis's farewell tour, and we usually email each other whenever a new album comes out by any of the bands that populate this expansive genre: Tool, Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Ros, Pelican, and most recently, Russian Circles. Their newest album, Memorial, triggered this unfortunate exchange:

Me: Either of you listen to new russian circles? Review I read said it was best post-rock album since [Isis's 2004 album] Panopticon.
Roommate #1: i want to listen. i will get on that tomorrow!
Roommate #2: I haven't yet because I didn't realize the album was out, but dear God are they good. I have such a music boner for them. If you have a chance to see them live, do it.

Music boner (n): \myü-zik bō-nər\
It's like an affection erection.
On your heart.
But it's because of the music porn you're listening to.
And it effects your heart and your mind.
(Definition courtesy Urban Dictionary)

Granting leave for use of the term "music boner," it's pretty easy to see why my friend was so excited. They make Explosions in the Sky sound like Pachelbel's Canon. (And I love Explosions in the Sky!) Russian Circles are most often compared to Isis, but I think Mono should be mentioned as well, and not just because they are both instrumental bands. Their music, to use a most overused term in a completely appropriate fashion, is epic. It's hard to imagine just three men creating this much sound.

Memorial earned an 88/100 on Metacritic based on the average score of the reviews.  Listen why:

I had spoken with roommate #2 on the phone a few nights ago and told him that Russian Circles were playing in Pittsburgh. He hadn't realized they were on tour. Last night I got this text from him. Turns out they were in his city: "So good. So much music erection right now. You have to go."

You can't ask for more of an endorsement than that.

If you too would like to become musically affected, enter our giveaway to see Russian Circles. Send an email to pghmusicreport[at]gmail.com, and put "russian circles" in the subject line. Tickets can be purchased for $15 via Ticketweb. This all ages show starts at 8. Inter Arma and KEN mode open.

Photos - San Fermin and Son Lux at the Warhol - 2.18.14

Nice double bill at the Warhol Tuesday. The male lead singer for San Fermin, Allen Tate, noted how quiet it was between songs. I don't know if I'd go quite so far as to say it was because the crowd was awestruck, but it is an impressive sight to see eight people splayed out across the stage, making beautiful music together. The band also treated the crowd to two new songs that have only been performed live a couple of times, "Parasite" and "Woman in Red."

If San Fermin is considered baroque for having a trumpet and violin, that must make the opener, Son Lux, avant-garde. Instead of a baritone sax there were quadruple tracked vocals, all sorts of frenetic keyboard samples, and an occasional guitar and/or drum freakout. I liked the songs a lot better live than how they sounded on the album.

Here's what you missed:

Show Preview - San Fermin - 2.18.14 - Warhol - Concert Preview

Sound Series: San Fermin, with special guests, Son Lux

The eight piece San Fermin will be appearing next Tuesday, 2.18 at the Warhol Museum on the North Shore. The group was started by Brooklyn based chamber pop project musician Ellis Ludwig- Leone. The band just released their debut LP this past year entitled The Sun Also Rises. Inspired by Ernest Hemingway's book "The Sun Also Rises", Ludwig-Leone crafted the record as if it were a dialogue between a man and a woman. The album is extremely introspective and personal. It is written with such emotion, that you realize the writer has opened himself in an extraordinary fashion. It's a larger, strong album when performed by the chamber pop group as proof of their past performance here at the Brillobox back in October. It's a live act that will transcend even better at the Warhol stage. Something not to miss.

From their press:

A pastiche of post-rock, chamber-pop and contemporary classical composition, San Fermin is the work of Brooklyn composer and songwriter Ellis Ludwig-Leone. His self-titled debut album is strongly influenced by his unique background in classical music, which includes a job assisting composer/arranger Nico Muhly. After finishing his musical studies at Yale, Ludwig-Leone wrote the album in six weeks while holed up in a studio on the mountainous border between Alberta and British Columbia. He focused on lifeʼs top-shelf issues – youth, nostalgia, anxiety, unrequited love – and tied these vast themes to different characters through vocal contributions from longtime friend Allen Tate, as well as Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius.

San Fermin is not an album of singles but rather a sweeping, full-bodied listen with multiple distinct peaks and ambitious thematic connections. Ludwig-Leone composed all of the album’s arrangements and lyrics in full prior to collaborating and recording, noting that “writing for a large group of unknown musicians infused the writing process with a kind of operatic scope.” The first track released from the album, “Sonsick,” tackles many of these larger themes head-on. ”It’s like a panic attack disguised as a birthday party,” Ludwig-Leone says. ”I realized that the most intense moments are the ones in which conflicting emotional worlds exist inside you, equally, at once.”

Show begins at 8p with doors at 7:30p. Tickets are only $15 and can be found here

Photos - Lotus at Stage AE - 2-2-14

Even though Jesse Miller of Lotus told us that the band disavows the label, I'm going to go ahead and remember this show as my first ever jam concert. And while it's certainly normal for a band to feed off the energy of the crowd, by the end of this show the entire pit was dancing in communion with one another, their tempo rising and falling with the music like the bars on an equalizer.

Here's what you missed:

Photos - Phosphorescent w/ Caveman - Mr. Smalls 1-31-14

Cojelo suave, muchacho...

Good turnout at Mr. Smalls Friday night. Matthew Houck, AKA Phosphorescent, noted that the crowd was much more impressive than his last spin through Pittsburgh, which was a visit to the meager Club Cafe less than a year ago. Shows what an "Album of the Year" can do for your fanbase.  Here's what you missed:

  • Christmas 2018 countdown has already begun. Will you be ready???
  • Why do we love Christmas? It's all about the traditions. In this chaotic world we can miss the "good old days." Christmas reminds us of that time.
  • The first recorded date of Christmas being celebrated on December 25th was in 336, during the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine. A few years later, Pope Julius I officially declared that the birth of Jesus would be celebrated on that day.
  • Santa Claus's sleigh is led by eight reindeer: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder (variously spelled Donder and Donner), and Blixem (variously spelled Blixen and Blitzen), with Rudolph being a 20th-century inclusion.
  • Outdoor Christmas lights on homes evolved from decorating the traditional Christmas tree and house with candles during the Christmas season. Lighting the tree with small candles dates back to the 17th century and originated in Germany before spreading to Eastern Europe.
  • That big, jolly man in the red suit with a white beard didn’t always look that way. Prior to 1931, Santa was depicted as everything from a tall gaunt man to a spooky-looking elf. He has donned a bishop's robe and a Norse huntsman's animal skin. When Civil War cartoonist Thomas Nast drew Santa Claus for Harper's Weekly in 1862, Santa was a small elflike figure who supported the Union. Nast continued to draw Santa for 30 years, changing the color of his coat from tan to the red he’s known for today.

    Was using Mr. Christmas sounds of Christmas. Just upgraded to Light O Rama because we are adding an additional 4,000 lights this year.
  1. Upgrade to Light O Rama

    Thanks for all your feedback. I took your advice and decided to start decorating last week and should finish up by tomorrow. That way with my wife out of town visiting our daughter in Hawaii I can dedicate 8 or 9 hours a day to sequencing songs. I never realized that I would learn to become somewhat of a music producer. Looking forward to learning the ins and outs of the system. Thanks Again! John
  2. Upgrade to Light O Rama

    Thanks Qberg and crazylightguyin585. Your post have put me a little at ease for my upcoming project. I haven't connected my controller yet but plan on doing so this Sunday. Come Nov. 1st I will have alot more time on my hands. What sites do you recommend for the sequences? John
  3. Upgrade to Light O Rama

    Thank you all for the kind remarks. Lights@721, thanks for the feedback. I was planning on using the first year as a test year to see what I can do with the new features. My wife and I own our own business and we are seasonal and come Nov. 1st we will slow down which will leave a lot of time on my hands. I plan on using the first week of Nov. to get familiar with the setup and options available and start decorating mid Nov. I like your idea of creating new sequences during the season. Thanks again!
  4. Upgrade to Light O Rama

    I have just upgraded from the Mr. Christmas Sounds of Christmas to a Light O Rama 16 Channel. We have added additional lights this year and have exceeded our limit for the Mr. Christmas. I also wanted to be able to do some different things with the lights this year. Our display is 90% LED lights. I just received my Light O Rama last week and I am wondering if I am starting this upgrade to late for the upcoming season? I am hoping to have at least 10 songs programmed for this year. Is this to large of a task for a rookie? This is my setup from last year. This year I have built driveway arches and 5 new smaller trees. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking to stay near the top of our neighborhood contest. Thanks! John

Fix the P

Note: This plugin has been superseded by WordPress itself. In version WordPress 3.0 a function was added to correct this very thing.

WordPress is a trademark of Automattic, and is spelled with an uppercase “W” and an uppercase “P.” It should not be with a lowercase p, such as Wordpress. The Fix The P WordPress plugin changes the lowercase p in “Wordpress” to an uppercase P (essentially changing Wordpress to WordPress) in titles, posts, pages, excerpts and comments. Hopefully it avoids mangling URLs within those text areas, if for some bizarre reason you had a URL with an uppercase letter in it. If for some reason you don’t want a “Wordpress” to change, simply replace the W with the code W in your edit box.

This plugin does not modify the database or any system settings. I have tested Fix The P on WordPress versions 2.2.3; 2.3.1; 2.33; and 2.5.

Ideally, you should always save your posts, pages, titles and comments in the correct form, and not rely on a plugin to help. But if you have many posts with the incorrect spelling, or if you frequently write about WordPress, it would be unprofessional to have the product name spelled incorrectly, so this plugin is a good safety net to have available.

  • June 17, 2010: Plugin retired.
  • March 28, 2008: version 1.01. Updated internal URLs, no functionality changes. Tested on WP 2.5RC2.
  • December 13, 2007: Initial release (version 1).

Scientists with NASA’s New Horizons mission have assembled the highest-resolution color view of one of two potential cryovolcanoes spotted on the surface of the distant planet by the passing New Horizons spacecraft in July 2015.

At about 90 miles (150 kilometers) across and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) high, the feature – informally named Wright Mons – is enormous. If it is in fact a volcano, as suspected, it would be the largest such feature discovered in the outer solar system.

Mission scientists are intrigued by the sparse distribution of red material in the image and wonder why it is not more widespread. Also perplexing is that there is only one identified impact crater on Wright Mons itself, telling scientists that the surface (as well as some of the crust underneath) was created relatively recently. This is turn may indicate that Wright Mons was volcanically active late in Pluto’s history.

This composite image includes pictures taken by the New Horizons spacecraft’s Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) on July 14, 2015, from a range of about 30,000 miles (48,000 kilometers), showing features as small as 1,500 feet (450 meters) across. Sprinkled across the LORRI mosaic is enhanced color data from the Ralph/Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) gathered about 20 minutes after the LORRI snapshots were taken, from a range of 21,000 miles (34,000 kilometers) and at a resolution of about 2,100 feet (650 meters) per pixel. The entire scene is 140 miles (230 kilometers) across.

Who We Are

Our Offices

We are a mental health charity, formed in 1984, and continue to go from strength to strength, evolving and re-structuring as the need arises, reflecting both the needs of mental health service users and the community we serve.

‘Our vision is of a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all, and that treats people with experience of mental distress fairly, positively and with respect.’

We interpret this in the following way:

  • To provide opportunities for those who have experience of mental health problems.
  • To encourage and enable people with such problems to work towards reaching their potential as full members of society.
  • To raise public awareness of mental health issues.
  • To provide appropriate community services for people with mental health problems to complement services provided by other organisations.

With 1 in 4 people experiencing a mental health problem in any given year, we may all need some help and support at some time. Our range of services and support for people in the local Plymouth community and surrounding districts include:

  • Recovery College:The Recovery College offers a complete range of useful courses and activities to help people understand and manage their mental health issues and to ultimately support your recovery (e.g. Understanding your Anger; Developing Self-Esteem and Assertiveness).
  • Volunteer Scheme: For many people, volunteering plays an important role
    Plymouth Mind Cafe Freedom Fields
    The Cafe in the Park

    in their recovery. For others, it gives them the opportunity to gain credible experience for their future career supporting others (e.g. Psychology students; mental health trainee nurses). We offer volunteering opportunities to approximately 50 people each year, of which 60% will have lived experience of poor mental health.

  • Peer Support: Mental illness can cause social isolation and a feeling of being ‘the only one in my situation’. We run 5 peer support groups to support people to meet others who understand exactly how it feels to live with particular mental health issues such as OCD, Bipolar Disorder, and Hearing Voices.
  • Mental Health Training: Mental health costs employers millions of pounds each year in absenteeism and poor performance, as well as impacting on peoples’ lives. We offer a full range of courses to help businesses and organisations recognise, support and reduce mental health issues in the workplace and promote wellbeing.

 Mindful Employer

In 2014, we signed the Charter for Employers who are Positive About Mental Health.

POAC Magazine Cover Story

Jolene Bertus

I still can't believe my years of showing as a youth in POA's are coming to an end. It feels like not that long ago I was at the southwest 4-H district show, showing my oId floppy eared pony, Abby. I remember crying to Ashley McKenzie after coming out of a class because I didn't place when I was trying so hard. Despite those floppy ears Abby was the best first pony I could have asked for. After seeing how crushed I was my parents decided that I had shown I was dedicated enough, and thought maybe it was time to get me my first real show pony, that led us to our first purchase, Copper Twist. Copper was a great horse but unfortunately a little too much for me to handle as a new 9-12er. After Copper I was surprised with, KBC KID DUNIT (Joe). Joe was four when we got him fresh out of the pasture and like me we had a lot of learning to do. Joe taught me to be the rider I am today, and he also led me to winning my very first international class during my last year in 9-12. As I started into my 13-18 years though, it became apparent that my time with showing Joe was slowly coming to an end and that it was time to let him teach another young rider. There was a time period in which I stopped showing, and my parents sent Joe up to Michigan where he visited the Bunn family and had a wonderful year. This helped me move on from Joe, and when I returned the following year to show again I started to ride our four year old Pal Cara Mia. Mia was a great little project to get back into the swing of showing. Also in that year upon returning I was reunited with Ashley McKenzie she helped me take Mia from being just a junior pleasure pony to being a great all around horse. Once I reached my full potential with Mia I figured it was time to hand her down to Ashlee. Since giving up Mia that left me without a horse to show which in tum gave me the opportunity to show two of my favorite boys, Driftwoods Montego Bay, and RBR Gynormous Buns. Moose and Tego were two of the most challenging horses to ride, but also the most rewarding. Thank you Tego for letting me dress you up as a purple people eater... even if you peed in your costume twice and shook your horn off in the middle of the class. As my last year approaches I'm focusing on my final junior pony as a youth, and a pony that already has a special place in my heart, RBR HOLLYWOOD BUNS. I am excited to see how far Tater and I will go by the end of the show season. I want to give special thanks to Kathy McKenzie for allowing me to have the pleasure of showing Moose all last summer. I would also like to thank David Schlemmer, if it wasn't for him buying Tego my longtime dream of showing him would have never came true. David you are a great addition to our show family. Thank you mom and dad for all the time and effort you put into me and Ashlee's showing. You have always gone above and beyond to make sure we can do what we love, and you have made these years of showing the best years of my life so far, and I hope you know how truly blessed I feel to have such amazing parents that love and support me as much as you do. Thank you to the Blumenthal's, Fling's, Langhorst's, Jelsch' s, Juengel's, Pott's, Robertson's and VanOss's for making these last year's showing such a blast, you are the best show family I could ask for and I love you ALL. Last but not least a very special thank you to the one most important person of my show years, Ashley McKenzie. "Bash"(for Big-Ashley), you have made me the rider I am today, and I want to thank you for always going above and beyond to be the best trainer out there. You spend all of your time working so hard to help everyone get ready for the big shows, and doing things like trying to make a homemade purple people eater costume for a one time appearance, you even walked around all day with purple paint on your arm to make sure I wouldn't break out in hives or something. You are the reason I can ride without a girth, why I decide to hurdle little horses, and why I have a million weird videos and pictures throughout the years of my hilarious memories with you. Thank you for being such a huge part in my life.

Love always, Jolene.

The two-year fellowship gives talented young dancers additional resources to hone their craft. It pays for guest coaches and teachers, personal trainers, pianists, studio space, mentors and even guest teachers to explore other arts like drama and music. ABT ballet master Clinton Luckett was chosen to offer support and guidance throughout the two years.

Congratulations Simone!

As summer intensive audition season starts up, I've been reminiscing about my own experience as a young dancer—way back in 1993—and how challenging it was to navigate. In fact, I think it's safe to say that my first summer program audition was a complete disaster.

I was almost 16—a little late by some standards—and was still pretty clueless as to how I compared to others outside my hometown. That weighed heavily on my mind as my parents and I made the hour-long drive to Milwaukee. The audition was for a school in Pennsylvania, and as I scanned the big-city studio, my mind slipped into exaggerated teenage self-consciousness. Dancers lined the barres stretching, showing off their flexibility as if doing some sort of war ritual. Many were chatting in groups, wearing trendy warm-up jumpers and donning perfectly shellacked buns. I tried to act like I knew what I was doing, but inside I was a wreck.

The teacher clapped his hands together to begin class. He was fast-paced, no-nonsense and not one for smiles. During pliés, he stopped in front of me with his clipboard as I emerged from a cambré back. He looked me up and down, frowned and kept going. I, of course, freaked out—what did that mean? I still had an entire hour and a half left of class to prove I was still capable, but instead I completely lost my concentration. I just couldn't shake that frown. I forgot combinations and even started with the wrong foot in front a few times in center. By jumps, the adjudicators had stopped watching me altogether. Needless to say, I spent the majority of the ride home trying not to cry.

It's finally the weekend, and we're celebrating the best way we know how—a new ballet video. Juliet Doherty (who trained with San Francisco Ballet and Master Ballet Academy, and is set to star in the dance film, On Pointe), teamed up with Cartoon Network for her latest project.

"Cartoon Network contacted me about their show, Steven Universe, which was coming out with a new vinyl album of the soundtrack of the show," Doherty shared with Pointe. "They told me about one of the show's main characters named, Pearl, who is a strong-willed character but has the grace inspired by a ballerina."

Mr. Jeremy FIsher, from Sir Frederick Ashton's "The Tales of Beatrix Potter."

Animal roles might not typically be what dancers dream of performing…but they're oh-so-fun to watch. You can't help falling under their spell (and perhaps aspiring to dance one someday). Here's a round-up of some of our favorite furry and feathered roles.

Bunny Hop

Run. Dance in a circle. Pretend to be a rabbit. It might sound like a creative movement combo, but don't let that fool you. The role of Peter Rabbit in Sir Frederick Ashton's The Tales of Beatrix Potter requires fierce technique—not to mention the ability to project personality while wearing an animal head and fur suit.

Four-Legged Interlude

Who do you turn to for halftime entertainment during a quartet of fairy variations? Dancing lizards, mice and a frog of course! This charming quintet of creatures light up the stage in David Bintley's Cinderella.

Your Career
Photo Courtesy Barry Kerollis.

I was probably about 15 years old when the director of my local dance school, seeing my drive and ambition, asked me to work as a teaching assistant for one of the main ballet instructors. She asked to meet with me to discuss the details of my new job. She explained what my role was in the studio, expectations of me in the position and more. But as we approached the end of my meeting, I wasn't expecting the conversation to take the serious turn that it did.

"Now, Barry, I need you to be very, very careful about how you work with these young girls. Kids are sensitive and, especially considering that you are a man, if you correct them in a way that can be viewed as sexual by either a student or a parent, even if you didn't do anything, you could be jeopardizing your future as a teacher and in this field." The look on my face must have been utter shock; the prospect of losing my job or getting sued over sharing my artform had never crossed my mind. This forever changed my perspective on being a dance educator, and I still find myself overly cautious about the way that I work with my students today.

Unless you've been hiding underneath a holiday blanket, it has become abundantly clear that we are undergoing a massive cultural shift here in the States. It started in the entertainment industry, then shifted to major corporations. Sexual misconduct in the form of harassment and assault that had been swept under the rug for years is bubbling to the surface. Things began to boil quite quickly, and those interested in our performing-arts world were speculating that something was going to be brought up in our tight-knit community, especially considering the hands-on approach that teachers have with students, dancers have with other dancers and artistic staff has while coaching employees. I had to sit on my own hands for over a month, after I was given a heads-up that a major news publication was working on an exposé about Peter Martins and his many alleged abuses (which had been quietly circulating around our dance community for years).

This story originally appeared in the December 2013/January 2014 issue of Pointe.

When Pacific Northwest Ballet School student Madison Abeo was accepted into San Francisco Ballet School's summer session on a partial scholarship, she was thrilled. But then she added up the remaining cost for the program and realized she didn't have the funds. “I really wanted to go," she says, “but we just couldn't make the other half of it work."

Ballet training is expensive. For many families, a trip to a dream summer intensive simply isn't in the budget. SFB was $2,500 out of Abeo's reach. But she was determined. At the suggestion of her aunt, Abeo created a Facebook fan page where she asked for opportunities to babysit or perform odd jobs, and included a link to a PayPal account where friends and family could make donations. Two local dancewear businesses, Vala Dancewear and Class Act Tutu, offered to outfit her for fundraising photos, which a photographer took for her Facebook page for free. By June, Abeo had raised enough for tuition—plus plenty of pointe shoes.

Affording your dream intensive isn't as difficult as you might think. There are a surprising number of eager dance supporters out there. Case in point: On Kickstarter, dance projects have the highest success rate of any type of campaign, with dancers receiving over $4 million in donations through the site since it began. You can also apply for need- or merit-based grants and scholarships, either through your summer program or an outside foundation. Most dancers who want it badly enough can make it happen.

When Complexions Contemporary Ballet's summer intensive program director Meg Paul auditions students for its Detroit intensive, there's one thing that catches her eye for all the wrong reasons. "It's a real pet peeve of mine when a dancer keeps shifting her eyes to me during a phrase," she says. "It tells me that she's not fully invested in the movement, that she's more interested in being watched than in embodying the choreography."

Every summer intensive director has their own list of audition deal-breakers, but there are a handful of universal turnoffs to avoid. "Yes, we want the most talented students, but when talent is paired with a bad attitude or improper etiquette, it gives us pause," Paul says. While certain behaviors may seem minor, they can make all the difference when it comes time for scholarship offers or even acceptance decisions.

DEAL BREAKER #1: Not Presenting Yourself Professionally

An audition is a first impression, and you want to look your best. This begins with researching the specific intensive's audition requirements. "Our audition has a dress code, and we expect dancers to respect that," says Rina Kirshner, director of the Russian American Foundation's Bolshoi Ballet Academy programs. "We want dancers to stand out through hard work and talent, not brightly colored leotards or flowers in their hair."

TIFFReadRGBAStrip(3TIFF)			      TIFFReadRGBAStrip(3TIFF)

       TIFFReadRGBAStrip  - read and decode an image strip into a fixed-format

       #include <tiffio.h>

       #define TIFFGetR(abgr) ((abgr) & 0xff)
       #define TIFFGetG(abgr) (((abgr) >> 8) & 0xff)
       #define TIFFGetB(abgr) (((abgr) >> 16) & 0xff)
       #define TIFFGetA(abgr) (((abgr) >> 24) & 0xff)

       int TIFFReadRGBAStrip(TIFF *tif, uint32 row, uint32 *raster)

       TIFFReadRGBAStrip reads a single strip of a strip-based image into mem‐
       ory,  storing  the result in the user supplied RGBA raster.  The raster
       is assumed to be an array of width times rowsperstrip  32-bit  entries,
       where width is the width of the image (TIFFTAG_IMAGEWIDTH) and rowsper‐
       strip is the maximum lines in a strip (TIFFTAG_ROWSPERSTRIP).

       The row value should be the row of the first row in the strip (strip  *
       rowsperstrip, zero based).

       Note  that  the raster is assume to be organized such that the pixel at
       location (x,y) is raster[y*width+x]; with  the  raster  origin  in  the
       lower-left  hand	 corner	 of the strip. That is bottom to top organiza‐
       tion.  When reading a partial last strip in the file the last  line  of
       the image will begin at the beginning of the buffer.

       Raster  pixels  are  8-bit  packed red, green, blue, alpha samples. The
       macros TIFFGetR, TIFFGetG, TIFFGetB, and TIFFGetA  should  be  used  to
       access  individual  samples.  Images  without  Associated Alpha matting
       information have a constant Alpha of 1.0 (255).

       See the TIFFRGBAImage(3TIFF) page for more details on how various image
       types are converted to RGBA values.

       Samples	must  be  either  1,  2,  4,  8, or 16 bits. Colorimetric sam‐
       ples/pixel must be either 1,  3,	 or  4	(i.e.	SamplesPerPixel	 minus

       Palette	image colormaps that appear to be incorrectly written as 8-bit
       values are automatically scaled to 16-bits.

       TIFFReadRGBAStrip is just a wrapper around the more general TIFFRGBAIm‐
       age(3TIFF)  facilities.	It's main advantage over the similar TIFFRead‐
       RGBAImage() function is that for large images a single  buffer  capable
       of  holding  the	 whole image doesn't need to be allocated, only enough
       for one strip.  The TIFFReadRGBATile() function does a  similar	opera‐
       tion for tiled images.

       1 is returned if the image was successfully read and converted.	Other‐
       wise, 0 is returned if an error was encountered.

       All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3TIFF) routine.

       Sorry, can not handle %d-bit pictures.	The  image  had	 BitsPerSample
       other than 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16.

       Sorry, can not handle %d-channel images.	 The image had SamplesPerPixel
       other than 1, 3, or 4.

       Missing needed "PhotometricInterpretation" tag.	The image did not have
       a tag that describes how to display the data.

       No  "PhotometricInterpretation" tag, assuming RGB.  The image was miss‐
       ing a tag that describes how to display it, but because it has 3	 or  4
       samples/pixel, it is assumed to be RGB.

       No  "PhotometricInterpretation"	tag,  assuming min-is-black. The image
       was missing a tag that describes how to display it, but because it  has
       1 sample/pixel, it is assumed to be a grayscale or bilevel image.

       No space for photometric conversion table.  There was insufficient mem‐
       ory for a table used to convert image samples to 8-bit RGB.

       Missing required "Colormap" tag.	  A  Palette  image  did  not  have  a
       required Colormap tag.

       No space for tile buffer.  There was insufficient memory to allocate an
       i/o buffer.

       No space for strip buffer.  There was insufficient memory  to  allocate
       an i/o buffer.

       Can not handle format.  The image has a format (combination of BitsPer‐
       Sample, SamplesPerPixel, and PhotometricInterpretation) that  TIFFRead‐
       RGBAImage can not handle.

       No space for B&W mapping table.	There was insufficient memory to allo‐
       cate a table used to map grayscale data to RGB.

PERLSTYLE(1)	       Perl Programmers Reference Guide		  PERLSTYLE(1)

       perlstyle - Perl style guide

       Each programmer will, of course, have his or her own preferences in
       regards to formatting, but there are some general guidelines that will
       make your programs easier to read, understand, and maintain.

       The most important thing is to run your programs under the -w flag at
       all times.  You may turn it off explicitly for particular portions of
       code via the "no warnings" pragma or the $^W variable if you must.  You
       should also always run under "use strict" or know the reason why not.
       The "use sigtrap" and even "use diagnostics" pragmas may also prove

       Regarding aesthetics of code lay out, about the only thing Larry cares
       strongly about is that the closing curly bracket of a multi-line BLOCK
       should line up with the keyword that started the construct.  Beyond
       that, he has other preferences that aren't so strong:

       ·   4-column indent.

       ·   Opening curly on same line as keyword, if possible, otherwise line

       ·   Space before the opening curly of a multi-line BLOCK.

       ·   One-line BLOCK may be put on one line, including curlies.

       ·   No space before the semicolon.

       ·   Semicolon omitted in "short" one-line BLOCK.

       ·   Space around most operators.

       ·   Space around a "complex" subscript (inside brackets).

       ·   Blank lines between chunks that do different things.

       ·   Uncuddled elses.

       ·   No space between function name and its opening parenthesis.

       ·   Space after each comma.

       ·   Long lines broken after an operator (except "and" and "or").

       ·   Space after last parenthesis matching on current line.

       ·   Line up corresponding items vertically.

       ·   Omit redundant punctuation as long as clarity doesn't suffer.

       Larry has his reasons for each of these things, but he doesn't claim
       that everyone else's mind works the same as his does.

       Here are some other more substantive style issues to think about:

       ·   Just because you CAN do something a particular way doesn't mean
	   that you SHOULD do it that way.  Perl is designed to give you
	   several ways to do anything, so consider picking the most readable
	   one.	 For instance

	       open(FOO,$foo) || die "Can't open $foo: $!";

	   is better than

	       die "Can't open $foo: $!" unless open(FOO,$foo);

	   because the second way hides the main point of the statement in a
	   modifier.  On the other hand

	       print "Starting analysis\n" if $verbose;

	   is better than

	       $verbose && print "Starting analysis\n";

	   because the main point isn't whether the user typed -v or not.

	   Similarly, just because an operator lets you assume default
	   arguments doesn't mean that you have to make use of the defaults.
	   The defaults are there for lazy systems programmers writing one-
	   shot programs.  If you want your program to be readable, consider
	   supplying the argument.

	   Along the same lines, just because you CAN omit parentheses in many
	   places doesn't mean that you ought to:

	       return print reverse sort num values %array;
	       return print(reverse(sort num (values(%array))));

	   When in doubt, parenthesize.	 At the very least it will let some
	   poor schmuck bounce on the % key in vi.

	   Even if you aren't in doubt, consider the mental welfare of the
	   person who has to maintain the code after you, and who will
	   probably put parentheses in the wrong place.

       ·   Don't go through silly contortions to exit a loop at the top or the
	   bottom, when Perl provides the "last" operator so you can exit in
	   the middle.	Just "outdent" it a little to make it more visible:

		   for (;;) {
		     last LINE if $foo;
		       next LINE if /^#/;

       ·   Don't be afraid to use loop labels--they're there to enhance
	   readability as well as to allow multilevel loop breaks.  See the
	   previous example.

       ·   Avoid using "grep()" (or "map()") or `backticks` in a void context,
	   that is, when you just throw away their return values.  Those
	   functions all have return values, so use them.  Otherwise use a
	   "foreach()" loop or the "system()" function instead.

       ·   For portability, when using features that may not be implemented on
	   every machine, test the construct in an eval to see if it fails.
	   If you know what version or patchlevel a particular feature was
	   implemented, you can test $] ($PERL_VERSION in "English") to see if
	   it will be there.  The "Config" module will also let you
	   interrogate values determined by the Configure program when Perl
	   was installed.

       ·   Choose mnemonic identifiers.	 If you can't remember what mnemonic
	   means, you've got a problem.

       ·   While short identifiers like $gotit are probably ok, use
	   underscores to separate words in longer identifiers.	 It is
	   generally easier to read $var_names_like_this than
	   $VarNamesLikeThis, especially for non-native speakers of English.
	   It's also a simple rule that works consistently with

	   Package names are sometimes an exception to this rule.  Perl
	   informally reserves lowercase module names for "pragma" modules
	   like "integer" and "strict".	 Other modules should begin with a
	   capital letter and use mixed case, but probably without underscores
	   due to limitations in primitive file systems' representations of
	   module names as files that must fit into a few sparse bytes.

       ·   You may find it helpful to use letter case to indicate the scope or
	   nature of a variable. For example:

	       $ALL_CAPS_HERE	constants only (beware clashes with perl vars!)
	       $Some_Caps_Here	package-wide global/static
	       $no_caps_here	function scope my() or local() variables

	   Function and method names seem to work best as all lowercase.
	   E.g., "$obj->as_string()".

	   You can use a leading underscore to indicate that a variable or
	   function should not be used outside the package that defined it.

       ·   If you have a really hairy regular expression, use the "/x"
	   modifier and put in some whitespace to make it look a little less
	   like line noise.  Don't use slash as a delimiter when your regexp
	   has slashes or backslashes.

       ·   Use the new "and" and "or" operators to avoid having to
	   parenthesize list operators so much, and to reduce the incidence of
	   punctuation operators like "&&" and "||".  Call your subroutines as
	   if they were functions or list operators to avoid excessive
	   ampersands and parentheses.

       ·   Use here documents instead of repeated "print()" statements.

       ·   Line up corresponding things vertically, especially if it'd be too
	   long to fit on one line anyway.

	       $IDX = $ST_MTIME;
	       $IDX = $ST_ATIME	      if $opt_u;
	       $IDX = $ST_CTIME	      if $opt_c;
	       $IDX = $ST_SIZE	      if $opt_s;

	       mkdir $tmpdir, 0700 or die "can't mkdir $tmpdir: $!";
	       chdir($tmpdir)	   or die "can't chdir $tmpdir: $!";
	       mkdir 'tmp',   0777 or die "can't mkdir $tmpdir/tmp: $!";

       ·   Always check the return codes of system calls.  Good error messages
	   should go to "STDERR", include which program caused the problem,
	   what the failed system call and arguments were, and (VERY
	   IMPORTANT) should contain the standard system error message for
	   what went wrong.  Here's a simple but sufficient example:

	       opendir(D, $dir)	    or die "can't opendir $dir: $!";

       ·   Line up your transliterations when it makes sense:

	       tr [abc]

       ·   Think about reusability.  Why waste brainpower on a one-shot when
	   you might want to do something like it again?  Consider
	   generalizing your code.  Consider writing a module or object class.
	   Consider making your code run cleanly with "use strict" and "use
	   warnings" (or -w) in effect.	 Consider giving away your code.
	   Consider changing your whole world view.  Consider... oh, never

       ·   Try to document your code and use Pod formatting in a consistent
	   way. Here are commonly expected conventions:

	   ·   use "C<>" for function, variable and module names (and more
	       generally anything that can be considered part of code, like
	       filehandles or specific values). Note that function names are
	       considered more readable with parentheses after their name,
	       that is "function()".

	   ·   use "B<>" for commands names like cat or grep.

	   ·   use "F<>" or "C<>" for file names. "F<>" should be the only Pod
	       code for file names, but as most Pod formatters render it as
	       italic, Unix and Windows paths with their slashes and
	       backslashes may be less readable, and better rendered with

       ·   Be consistent.

       ·   Be nice.

The Source for Dry Processing and Bulk Handling Technology

Dry and Wet Micronization Webinar Announced

March 9, 2011
Hard minerals such as quartz feldspar and zircon sand are widely used in the glass, ceramic, and porcelain industry. It is always a challenge not to increase the Fe2O3 content during processing. Highly wear-protected machines, in order to avoid any increase of the Fe2O3 content, must be employed.
This presentation discusses suitable high-end dry and wet micronization systems for hard minerals for whole range of finenesses for standard ceramic applications, usually at finenesses of D97 = 45 to 100 µm, down to the Nano sphere of 400 nm.
On Wednesday, March 16, 2011, 2:00 pm EST, Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems will host "Dry and Wet Micronization of Hard Industrial Minerals Down to the Nano Range". The program is designed for anyone processing mineral fillers but this program could be beneficial to anyone with a size reduction application. The program will run for 45 minutes and conclude with a short question and answer session.

Engineers Drive Business Performance Optimization

October 26, 2007

In the October meeting of the Houston Material Handling Society, Joe Lewis of Monitor Technologies LLC spoke about “Recent Directions in Level Monitoring & Measurement for Bulk Solids.” He reminded the group of approximately 40 area engineers, representing nearly 1000 years of material handling expertise, that while their companies may see them simply as a cost of doing business, they must take the initiative to show their employers that they indeed drive business performance improvements through process optimization.

Quoting from a recent editorial in a key automation magazine, Lewis said that, “Engineers must step up and assume a leadership role within their companies by helping drive new levels of business performance.” He went on to say that the reason many companies don’t understand the true value of engineering is “because most financial systems cannot measure the improvements you generate.”

In his presentation to the HMHS group of engineers, Lewis discussed two directions in level measurement and monitoring of bulk solids where engineers can demonstrate the type of value they bring to their employers. These include the use of “self-validating bin level monitors” to prevent silo spills due to unknown high level indicator failures, and tips to ensure successful use and installation of the most popular continuous level measurement technology for bulk solids, the guided wave radar level sensor.
