ALBUM REVIEW: Unbound by the Jasper String Quartet

by Maggie Molloy

Photo by Dario Acosta.

Over the course of their decade-long career, the Jasper String Quartet has become pretty familiar with the famous quartets of historic masters like Haydn, Beethoven, and even Bartók—so when it came time to record a new album, they decided to look for new musical inspiration a little closer to home.

Unbound is a collection of 21st century works that burst through the boundaries of traditional Western musical styles and forms. The Jaspers—comprised of violinists J Freivogel and Sae Chonabayashi, violist Sam Quintal, and cellist Rachel Henderson Freivogel—explore the furthest reaches of the string quartet repertoire with new works by seven of today’s most dynamic composers.

Featuring compositions by Caroline Shaw, Missy Mazzoli, Annie Gosfield, Judd Greenstein, David Lang, Donnacha Dennehy, and Ted Hearne, the album unfolds as a survey of today’s spectacularly diverse and dynamic string music landscape, each piece stretching the string quartet tradition in new and inventive ways.

The album begins with Caroline Shaw’s tangy and succulent “Valencia,” the video for which we premiered just last week on Second Inversion. The Jaspers bring precision and playfulness to Shaw’s billowing harmonics and bold bow strokes, evoking the brilliant colors and juicy texture of the fresh, flavorful fruit.

Missy Mazzoli’s contribution to the album, by contrast, is a bit more narrative-driven. “Death Valley Junction” is inspired by a small American town of the same name, where a woman named Marta Becket resurrected a crumbling opera house in the late 1960s and went on to perform weekly one-woman shows there for over 40 years. An airy, sparse, desert-inspired soundscape gradually gives way to a wild and exuberant dance, evoking Becket’s colorful imagination and unshakable optimism.

It’s followed by Annie Gosfield’s “The Blue Horse Walks on the Horizon,” a piece she wrote specifically for the Jaspers. Inspired by the surreal radio broadcasts and codes used by European resistance groups during World War II, the piece unfolds through shifting, repetitive figures that evoke the abstract coded messages.

Group dynamics are the key theme behind Judd Greenstein’s contribution to the album. “Four on the Floor” is an energetic, fast-paced work which explores different instrument pairings working with and against one another in constantly changing teams.

David Lang’s “almost all the time” explores a different type of evolution. The piece begins with a simple cell of a musical idea—what he calls “a little 10 note strand of musical DNA”—but across 18 minutes expands and evolves into a beautiful genetic mutation, each detail carefully crafted under the Jaspers’ fingers.

Donnacha Dennehy’s “Pushpulling” is more elastic in its movements. Frenetic bow strokes speed ever-forward, but are slowly and patiently pulled back to silence each time—pushing and pulling the listener along for the ride.

The album closes with Ted Hearne’s circular “Excerpts from the middle of something,” the first movement of his Law of Mosaics. Unusual in its form, the piece consists of a climactic build-up that, instead of resolving, is simply repeated and revised several times. And yet, each time it is convincing: the Jaspers play each rendition with the explosive energy and enthusiasm of a grand finale.

It’s an exclamation point at the end of the album but also a metaphor, perhaps, for the album’s overarching theme: the string quartet repertoire did not die with Haydn or Beethoven, but is still alive and still evolving to this day.

ALBUM REVIEW: Unremembered by Sarah Kirkland Snider

by Maggie Molloy

sksnider unremembered

Childhood is a time of youthful innocence, joyous discovery, and wondrous possibility—but along with that unbridled and enchanting sense of imagination can also come dark creatures, mysterious horrors, and haunting memories.

Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider braves these mystical terrors and takes on the full beauty and vast musical scope of childhood imagination in her latest release, “Unremembered.” The album is a 13-part song cycle, and each piece is its own narrative—a tender memory, a ghostly mystery, or a haunting message. Together, the cycle is a rumination on memory, innocence, imagination, and the strange and subtle horrors of growing up.

Composed for seven voices, chamber orchestra, and electronics, the songs were inspired by the poems and illustrations of writer and artist Nathaniel Bellows, a close friend of Snider. The poems depict poignant memories of Bellows’ own childhood upbringing in rural Massachusetts—tales which in turn triggered memories from Snider’s own childhood, giving shape to her musical settings of the text.

The album was released on New Amsterdam Records, a label Snider co-created with Judd Greenstein and William Brittelle in 2008 to promote classically-trained musicians who create outside the confines of the classical music tradition. The album features vocalists Shara Worden (of My Brightest Diamond), Padma Newsome (of Clogs), and singer-songwriter DM Stith gliding above the instrumental talents of musicians from contemporary ensembles like ACME, Alarm Will Sound, ICE, The Knights, and Sō Percussion.

A follow-up to Snider’s critically-acclaimed 2010 song cycle, “Penelope,” the new album lives somewhere in the mystical, mythical world between classical and pop genres. Each song is its own vividly colored vignette, a mesmerizing narrative brought to life through Snider’s rich textural and temperamental palette.

“I think that all of my music is narrative driven—that’s what I’m the most interested in musically—mood and storytelling and atmosphere,” Snider said in an interview with Molly Sheridan of NewMusicBox. “I’m fascinated by complex emotions—the places where affection crosses over and merges with dread, or regret merges with gratitude.”

From the ghostly echoes and somber lyricism of “Prelude” to the surreal dark carnival dance of “The Barn,” each piece tells a different tale of childhood; a memory embellished, ornamented, and altered over the years. In a way, Snider also embellishes memories of the classical genre—musically she recalls the strict rules and structures of the classical tradition, but she does so in a way that is blurred, broken, and beautifully contorted. Her collaboration with Worden helped breathe life into this eclectic collection of musical influences.

“Shara [Worden] had become my closest friend and we’d had so many conversations about classical versus pop music, and all of the frustrations that we had dealing with the lack of infrastructure to support music written in the cracks between those worlds,” Snider said in her interview with NewMusicBox. “She also just so comfortably can inhabit both worlds, which is something that so few singers can do, so I felt like I could really let it rip.”

Worden’s operatic voice drifts above the restless woodwind motives and dreamlike themes of “The Guest,” glides gracefully above the delicately swelling orchestral backdrop on “The Swan,” and echoes just as sweetly above the subtle, soft strings of “The Song.”

The album climaxes with “The Witch,” a ruthless and rhapsodic witch hunt played out across a programmatic musical arc. Worden’s low voice hisses against the aggressive strings and militant drums of the orchestra. She sings the ghostly tale of a witch hunt while the strings and percussion chase after her, brewing with melodrama and theatrical orchestral nuances. The piece ends with twinkling celeste motives as the haunting witch hunt fades back into a distant memory.

“The Slaughterhouse” is similarly grim, though it begins with a sweet reprieve: a gorgeous, achingly tender solo piano melody. The gentle rumination gives way to a somber tale of slaughtered animals, a collection of beasts buried beneath the winter ice—the cold memory and throbbing melodies sending shivers down the listener’s spine.
“The Girl” tells of a tragic small-town suicide—a girl hanged in an entire forest of musical timbres. Snider paints a vivid musical picture of the wind blowing through the trees, birds chirping in the early morning sky, and inquisitive animals peeking out behind woven beds of flowers. “The River” tells another solemn tale, with somber vocals flowing above fragmented melodies and a slowly rumbling bass.

The album comes to a close with “The Past,” a fractured montage of childhood memories echoing musical fragments from earlier songs in the cycle. But this time, the piece sounds hopeful—like a lullaby alive once again with the warmth and sweetness of childhood.

And just like that, the melancholy requiem of “Unremembered” evaporates into a softly twinkling silence, like an enchanting music box tenderly closing—and while the exact details of the memories may fade with time, the album itself is unforgettable.

ALBUM REVIEW: Dreamfall by NOW Ensemble

by Maggie Molloy

If you’re looking for the latest in contemporary classical, it doesn’t get any more current than NOW Ensemble. The dynamic seven-member group is committed to pushing the boundaries of the classical chamber music tradition, often crossing into new genres and artistic media.

True to their name, NOW ensemble infuses traditional Western art music with contemporary music styles such as indie rock, jazz, pop, and minimalism—bringing classical music to new audiences in the here and now.

The foundation for their one-of-a-kind sound is their eclectic instrumentation: electric guitar, flute, clarinet, double bass, and piano. Currently in their 10th year as a group, the ensemble is comprised of artistic director and guitarist Mark Dancigers, flutist Alexandra Sopp, clarinetist Sara Budde, double bassist Logan Coale, pianist Michael Mizrahi, and composers Patrick Burke and Judd Greenstein.

So NOW, what’s the latest?

The ensemble just released their fourth full-length album, an eclectic new music mash-up titled “Dreamfall.” The expansive new release features works by seven remarkable composers of contemporary music: Scott Smallwood, Mark Dancigers, John Supko, Nathan Williamson, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Andrea Mazzariello, and Judd Greenstein.

“It is a state of immense freedom,” Dancigers said of the album’s title. “The sounds on this record reflect this freedom, this sense of something a little out of our hands, and, beyond all else, the practice of making music that is NOW Ensemble.”

Scott Smallwood’s “Still in Here” is the first piece on the album, and it begins with low, grumbling piano trill—in fact, the graphic score denotes a “slow, drunken piano trill” throughout. The piece is atmospheric and dark, even apocalyptic at times. It swells in dynamics, periodically highlighting the unique texture of each instrument above a blur of musical vibrations. Listen for the soft crinkling of a foil stove burner liner amidst the ambiance. (According to Smallwood, “the handi-foil type 302 liner is a good candidate” if you’re looking to perform this one at home.)

The title track, written by Dancigers, showcases a more expressive side of the ensemble. The three-movement work explores an eclectic collection of melodic fragments, similar to a dreamland—one moment here and the next somewhere completely different. “Dreamfall” showcases the ensemble’s full range of timbral and textural possibilities, capturing the ever-shifting moods and melodies that we experience once we finally let go and start dreaming.

Speaking of dreams, John Supko’s “Divine the Rest” is nothing short of a mesmerizing daze. It immerses the listener in an ambient electroacoustic soundscape, with calm narration whispering over sparse instrumentation. Each and every note gently rings over the surrounding static to create a slowly shifting musical landscape.

The listener is abruptly awoken from this trancelike state with an audacious piano slide introducing the next piece on the album, Nathan Williamson’s vivacious “Trans-Atlantic Flight of Fancy.” Harmonies sprawl across the keyboard with rhythmic verve, restlessly pushing forward beneath bold and brash woodwind melodies.

The ensemble again switches gears for Sarah Kirkland Snider’s “Pale as Centuries,” a musical collage which combines diverse, distinctive, and sometimes even mismatched melodic fragments into a single cohesive image.

Andrea Mazzariello’s “Trust Fall” has a somewhat more linear development, growing gradually in drama and expressivity, from its sparse and simple introduction to its climactic close. However, one thing remains a key focus throughout: lush, dolce melodies.

The album ends with Judd Greenstein’s “City Boy,” a colorful musical depiction of a free and fearless young boy, his eyes twinkling as he playfully explores the world around him. The piece moves rapidly from one melodic idea to the next, switching from a jazzy guitar groove to a circling piano motive to a flowing clarinet melody within a matter of minutes.

The piece serves as a reminder of the major themes present throughout NOW Ensemble’s musical ventures: experimentation, innovation, and above all, a genuine enthusiasm for pursing curiosity. NOW that’s what I call contemporary classical!

Founded in 2009 by Brad Wells, cutting-edge vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth‘s stated mission is to “mine the expressive potential of the human voice,” and that they do.  They’re extremely versatile, excelling in styles ranging from renaissance polyphony to vocal techniques from around the world, such as yodels, grunts, audible exhalations, and drones, all heard on their self-titled debut album (which, by the way, won the 2014 Grammy for “Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance”).

Roomful Of Teeth

Roomful of Teeth is dedicated to new music and composers of today, they’ve commissioned works by Rinde Eckert, Judd Greenstein, Caleb Burhans, Merrill Garbus (of tUnE-yArDs), Sarah Kirkland Snider and Missy Mazzoli, and William Brittelle, who says his melodic sensibility tends more toward the pop side than classical or experimental side, resulting in some very fun music.

Roomful of Teeth was the first all vocal program presented by TownMusic in September 2013. We have some selections from this concert for your listening pleasure, including a couple of movements from Caroline Shaw’s 2013 Pulitzer Prize winning piece, Partita for 8 voices!

There’s one more concert on the 2013-14 TownMusic Series on June 24, featuring four world premieres and soprano Mary Mackenzie to sing Arnold Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire.

Moses had the most frustrating...

Moses had the most frustrating job ever. The Lord picked him to lead a large group of people on a journey to a place none of them had ever visited. The people had no experience of self-government; they'd been slaves all of their lives. But though they'd been enslaved in Egypt, at least their day-to-day lives were predictable.

Freedom and the wilderness brought new challenges, however. How do you feed and provide water for thousands of men, women, and children? Not many ministers face that task. How do you act as an intermediary between God and a huge group of folks who

In this familiar and well-loved story of the Prodigal Son, I often wonder what happened to the mother of the family. She's totally ignored. So are any daughters. It seems like a completely male stronghold. So much so that I wonder whether perhaps the mother had died some years previously, and that was the cause of much of the unhappiness displayed by both the father and the sons. Or whether the father was such a domineering character that his wife played no real part in family life, but simply bowed her head in compliance with all his wishes, no matter how extreme they were.

What You Don’t Do, Speaks Volumes

7 Examples of Common Customer Service Failures

In previous blog articles we’ve defined and explained the importance of service excellence as well as the importance of understanding the customer experience. Another way to describe excellent customer service is to talk about what it isn’t. We love this quote:

“It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.” – Molière

While there are plenty of examples of companies that shine in the service excellence department, we’ve all no doubt had those not-so-delightful customer experiences, whether in person or on the phone, where the service was either lacking or downright absent. In most cases, the consistent customer complaint in poor service situations has more to do with what the company, or its representative, failed to do, than what the company did.

Here are some examples of common customer service failures:

Lack of Manners and Courtesy

One would think that a company striving for success would understand this essential cornerstone of customer service, that is, treating customers or clients with courtesy and respect, but we’ve all been in situations where we have experienced the exact opposite!

Long Waits on the Phone, in Line or in a Service Environment

Making a customer wait a long time is a form of disrespect. It demonstrates that a business does not value their customers’ time. What is more exasperating than being put on hold for a long time on the phone, having to wait in a long line, endless waiting to order a meal in restaurant, for your meal to be served, or, even worse, to receive the check?

Lack of Knowledge

One of the more aggravating customer experiences is to interact with an employee who has not been properly trained, and, therefore lacks knowledge of a company product or service. This usually means having to ask to speak with another team member or supervisor, which is not only annoying, but time-consuming.

Lack of Response or Follow-Up

Whether in a service, retail, restaurant or hospitality environment, we expect a business to promptly respond to our request. We expect a timely response to our email or voice message. We expect a business to follow-through on their commitment to us and for their customer service department to make sure that we had a pleasant experience. We’ve all been in the boat: not only was there no follow-up, we were actually ignored!

Not Resolving a Complaint

This may be one of the best examples of poor customer service. In this digital age, where, as customer service expert Chip Bell cleverly puts it “Word of mouse has replaced word of mouth” companies cannot afford to put off or ignore a customer complaint. And yet, there are still many businesses that use this “head in the sand” strategy, to their own detriment!

Lack Of Honesty or Accountability

Unfortunately, the snake oil salesmen are still out there, ready to break their promises, not honor a commitment or even worse, mislead unsuspecting customers. It is truly sickening when we discover that we have been tricked or cheated. The only reassurance is that most companies or individuals who mistreat their customers will face the consequences, or at least a reputation crisis, sooner or later. As the saying goes: “What goes around, comes around”!

Lack of Caring

What is the common underlying issue in the examples above? To sum it up: it is a lack of caring. If a company or its representatives fail to care about their customers, it is due to a lack of understanding of their customers value. They fail to perceive their customer as the source of not only their livelihood, but their well-being and success.

In previous articles, we discussed the importance of empathy and emotional intelligence in customer service. Genuine caring is the basis for service excellence and needs to begin at the leadership level, and then in the way employees are treated.

More than anything else, caring, kindness and empathy should be the first quality to look for when hiring a company representative or anyone in a service role. Anyone who lacks these qualities – and we’ve all come across these types of individuals, in various walks of life – should not be working in the service sector. They will more than likely fail in providing the service a valued customer deserves. But if caring comes naturally for them, they usually excel in their role and play a very important part in their company’s positive service reputation and success.

I like unique. I like different. Always have, always will. With a imaginations that gets inspired easily from every day life, a need to give it a outlet, a life long passion to create things, mix in love for animals with a dedication to guinea pigs, and sewing.

One day my kids father decides to give me a guinea pig after over a year of not finding the 'right' dog for my, at time, apartment living. It's love at first sight for me, Shakes took a bit longer in gaining trust, but he did quickly. Looking back, it's easy to see, I needed him just as much as he needed me.

In 2003 I started making cage blankets, pockets (aka cozy), pads, tunnels, and houses. What I didn't expect was others asking to make some for them as well. At the time, there wasn't anyone dedicated to sewing for the piggies!  The requests was becoming greater, both internet and people driving by thinking things hung out to dry was for sale. In 2004 products became available to order regularly on line, and for a brief time on KM's Hay Loft, until that very (very!) quickly got to be a bit much for both of us to keep up with. As they say, the rest is history.

It's the worst time since the Great Depression to buy real estate, right?

Not so, according to some individual investors, who think the market slump has made selected pockets of the Bay Area more desirable than they've been in years.

"Look at this," said Dan Shiner of Mill Valley, one such investor who was en route with his agent to visit properties for sale in Santa Rosa last week. "This duplex sold for $599,000 two years ago and now it's listed for $414,900. That's why people like me are coming out of the woodwork."

Shiner, who works in finance, said he avoided investing in local real estate for years because prices were so ridiculously high. But the current market has drawn him back in because suddenly he sees relative bargains. Last week he looked at a dozen Sonoma County duplex and triplexes, and had offers accepted on two.

"The way prices have come down is absolutely amazing," he said. "I think it's a phenomenal opportunity for the small investor to buy their first rental properties."

While many buyers, whether potential residents or investors, are staying on the sidelines, largely from fear that prices will continue to plummet, some private investors think there's no time like the present to take advantage of a market in freefall.

Unlike the "fix and flip" speculators of recent years, these investors are in it for the long haul. They see chances to be cash-flow positive - which had been a pipe dream in the Bay Area without putting down wads of cash - and to build appreciation over many years.

Overall, homes sales have plunged to record lows. However, the percentage of investors in the market is edging up, according to DataQuick Information Systems, a real estate information service.

"The reason you (have) seen investors coming in, at least in small ways, is that in certain neighborhoods across the Bay Area and across (the) state, you've had significant depreciation and it now makes sense for some investors," said Andrew LePage, a DataQuick analyst.

"They're adding to what little demand exists out there by snapping up foreclosure resales because some of those have bigger discounts. The savvy ones probably realize that few, if any, of us are going to time the bottom correctly."

Credit still tough

Of course, investors face the same constraints as any buyer. The mortgage crunch means financing is limited to people with excellent credit, money to put down, and proof of income.

Jeffrey Lerman, a San Rafael attorney who specializes in real estate investor issues, said many investors are still waiting for a bottom.

"We are seeing some contrarian-type investors who are looking for and doing deals in this economy," he said. "The vast majority are not. They follow the herd."

Those investors who do plunge in are "returning to fundamentals," running the type of due-diligence equations that seem obvious now but got forgotten in the frenzied years when speculation was king, Lerman said.

Advice for investors

Those who are buying now stick to several rules of thumb:

-- Find locations where depreciation rules. David Campbell is bullish on Vallejo. That's not because he owns a real estate company, Fourth Dimension, there, because most of his business is out of state.

Instead, he said, it's because the town has some neighborhoods where property values are down 50 percent from their peak, while its long-term growth fundamentals - universities, medical center, jobs in heavy and light industry, transit, military training and a planned 200-acre cancer treatment center - remain strong. He thinks the city's brush with bankruptcy could be a benefit if it negotiates better contracts with its public employees.

"A Vallejo three-bedroom, two-bath single-family home can be purchased for $200,000 and will rent for $1,400 a month," he said. "Vallejo studio condos can be purchased for $75,000 and will rent for $750 a month."

At 20 percent down and an interest rate in the high 6 percent range, those properties would break even or generate modest cash flow, he said.

-- Don't count on chichi areas. Amit May, principal with May Properties, a real estate development and investment company in San Francisco, said in an e-mail that deals in the city are few.

"We have not seen drastic price reductions," May wrote. "I still think this is a good time to buy residential property in San Francisco, such as two- to six-unit (buildings), but the problem is that the inventory is so low now, there are not a lot of bargains."

Investors uniformly emphasized that areas with high foreclosure rates have the best bargains. That means Solano County, Richmond, Rodeo, eastern Contra Costa County, parts of San Jose and parts of Oakland.

Moneymaking potential

-- Consider cash flow. Most investors said they are unwilling to swallow big monthly differences between a property's expenses and income. Realistically, few single-family homes in the Bay Area will generate significant cash flow, assuming down payments of 20 percent or so. (Obviously, the more cash one puts down, the greater potential for positive cash flow.)

Even the pockets that have huge drops in price take some careful calculations to make sure the rental demand is there. But small multifamily properties with two or more units do have potential for making money, several investors said, while single-family homes at least might break even.

Properties bought under distressed circumstances, such as those sold at the huge foreclosure auctions happening every couple of months, may be sufficiently cheap to bring in income.

For those who really want cash flow without significant money down, looking outside the Bay Area might be the best bet. "If you go out to the Central Valley, Modesto and those areas, you can flow cash at 10 percent down," said Michael Yesk, regional manager and attorney for IPX1031, a company that handles tax-deferred exchanges on investment properties.

-- Factor in demand for rentals. All the folks losing their homes to foreclosure and all those potential homeowners who decide to wait for the market to hit bottom have to live somewhere, many investors point out. They expect that to increase demand and rates for rental housing - as has already been happening in recent month.

Shiner of Mill Valley said he likes properties that already have long-term tenants in place. That rules out foreclosures, however, because banks seem to uniformly evict tenants when they take possession of a foreclosure.

Consider interest rates

-- Look at prices versus interest rates. Investors acknowledge that they probably could get some properties cheaper by waiting longer - but then they risk paying higher interest rates, which would wipe out those savings.

For instance, a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage for $300,000 at 7 percent is $1,995 per month. If the mortgage amount were 10 percent lower - $270,000 - but the investor is paying 8 percent interest, the monthly payment is almost identical at $1,981.

On the other hand, investors who have large cash reserves to plunk down might be better served to wait for even lower prices.

-- Buy from the bank. A huge percentage of properties for sale in recent months are bank-owned foreclosures. These lenders are the ultimate motivated sellers.

Still, bankers are not fools. Anyone making a lowball offer should be prepared with information on very recent comparable sales in the neighborhood to justify the price. Some bank-owned properties are generating bidding wars - admittedly usually for less than the asking- but that gives the banks more of an edge.

Bank-owned foreclosures can have maintenance issues. The previous homeowner may have stopped making repairs when money got tight.

Five-year plan

-- Make sure you can afford it. While this may seem obvious, lots of folks didn't think it through in 2005 and 2006, which is why there are now so many foreclosures. Investors need to be sure they can hold on to property for the long term, probably at least five years.

Putting extra oomph into that equation is that investment loans, unlike those on a primary residence, usually are "recourse loans." That means the bank can come after your personal assets if you renege.

And investors should not expect a return to the no-money-down days, which means they already have cash on the line as soon as they buy.

Shiner, the Mill Valley man investing in Sonoma, said he has a long-term horizon.

"As Warren Buffett says, lethargy bordering on sloth - that's me," he said. "The fact that the market is not turning around in the next year isn't significant. If you wait long enough, the market has always gone up since the days of the caveman."

With this report, Tara Duggan previews a three-part series of stories on her family's small organic farm in Mendocino County. The first story appears in the Home & Garden section in Sunday's Chronicle, only in print and on the iPad app.

In March, Vonita Murray broke ground on 4 acres in Woodland she calls Mariposa Valley Farm. While waiting for her tomatoes and eggplants to mature, she started selling the first heads of lettuce at the farmers' market. This week, she launched her community-supported agriculture program, offering weekly produce boxes to local subscribers.

Murray, 35, also works outside the farm to pay the bills, and her fiance works full time as an architect. "There's no way I could be a single person and try to farm, maintain a life and have a job," she said.

Murray is typical of many of today's beginning farmers - one of the 100,000 new farmers the federal government says the country needs to add in the next several years to replace its aging workforce.

Murray can't afford to buy her land, depends on outside income and didn't inherit the business. These sorts of challenges explain why few young people are going into farming, and why the average age of the American farmer has risen steadily since the 1970s to 57 today, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

With a farm family's average annual cost of living at $47,000 and fewer than one-quarter of American farms bringing in more than $50,000 a year, not many families can afford to stay in business. As a result, retiring farmers are selling their land to developers rather than passing down the farm to their children, resulting in a rapid loss of acreage devoted to producing food.

USDA gets involved

These statistics have sounded an alarm, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture has responded with recent initiatives to encourage new farmers to get into the field.

"If you're 80 and you're still farming, there's not a lot of years left," said Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Kathleen Merrigan. "We don't want to have any more loss of farmland. We don't want to have any more loss in our ability to produce."

In 2009, the USDA created an initiative called Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food - often called KYF2 - that helps beginning farmers and ranchers access USDA loans, grants and training programs. KYF2 includes a Farm to School program that aims to increase the amount of locally grown foods in schools and provide another outlet to smaller-scale farmers. And because distribution is a big hurdle for small and midsize farmers, the USDA also just launched an online resource to help connect them to markets normally dominated by bigger players.

But the recently passed House agriculture appropriations bill for 2012 recommends significant cuts to the USDA budget, including almost $1 billion in the conservation programs that benefit many beginning farmers. The bill also includes an amendment by Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., to eliminate KYF2, although it doesn't have its own budget. When KYF2 went into effect in 2009, several Republican senators criticized it for focusing on "hobbyist" farmers.

With ongoing budget negotiations in Washington, it's unclear how much USDA funding will be cut from regional organizations such as California FarmLink, which connects new farmers with leasing and financing opportunities thanks to a $500,000 USDA lending fund, or the Agriculture and Land-Based Training Association, which runs a farm incubation program in Salinas.

"Operating loans have been really important in growing our business, from the standpoint that I don't have a father or father-in-law to sign some big note for me for ag financing," said Seth Nitschke, 35, who started his ranch in Newman (Stanislaus County) five years ago. "When you're coming from the outside, it's hard to get started."

Leased land

Nitschke founded his grass-fed beef company, Open Space Meats, after working as a buyer for large cattle companies. He began with three head of cattle and now has 300 that range over 2,000 leased acres.

While it's common for beginning farmers and ranchers to lease rather than own their land, the practice can be problematic for produce growers, especially organic ones.

When Rebecca Spector and Jason McKenney founded Purisima Greens in 1997 on 5 leased acres in Half Moon Bay, they put a lot of money and labor into transitioning the soil to organic. But when their landlord died, they had to move and start over, losing tens of thousands of dollars the process.

They eventually built up a membership roster of 100 subscribers for their boxes of produce, and sold to local restaurants and at farmers' markets. Still, they struggled to pay their bills even while Spector worked full time elsewhere.

Then, their land was put up for sale again, just when they were starting a family. Without land or housing stability, they decided to let the farm go.

"It was a very hard decision to close the business," said Spector, who now heads up the West Coast office of the Center for Food Safety. "It was a very sad time in our lives."

One organization with a track record for helping new farmers thrive is the Agriculture and Land-Based Training Association. For the past 25 years, the organization has run a farm incubator program for low-income aspiring farmers in which they create business plans and then lease land at below-market rates for six to seven years.

After that, the association's partner organizations help the new farmers secure financing to lease their own land. Eighty percent of the dozens who graduate from its incubation program are still in farming five years out, said spokesman Gary Peterson.

Running track, yoga

New farmer Murray, a disabled Navy vet, has received assistance from the Farmer Veteran Coalition, USDA conservation programs and California FarmLink.

"I go to every workshop I can, and I shake hands with every person I can find," said Murray, who wants to one day install a running track and yoga studio at her Yolo County farm to encourage an overall healthy way of life.

"Honestly, I have big plans for the farm. I need to be there so I can bring these things to fruition."

Book Top Wedding Photographers in Bangalore @shaadisaga

Wedding photography is an art. If you don’t hire the right photographer, your wedding pictures will be bland and regular. Wedding photographs are a reminder of your special day and hence these pictures should be spectacular. Looking at these pictures should remind you of the emotions you felt on the day of the function. Therefore, a good wedding photographer should be able to capture emotions as well as moments. On Shaadisaga, you will find a comprehensive listing of the best wedding photographers in Bangalore. Each may specialise in a different field, but all have been verified by ShaadiSaga and are extremely proficient at what they do. There are many different types of wedding photography and most photographers provide all these services. Some of the various types of wedding photography are:

  • Candid Photography in Bangalore

    Candid photography has become very popular and all wedding albums seem incomplete without these casual looking pictures. It’s exciting to watch people captured naturally, unaware of the photographer taking pictures. Raw emotions are reflected in these pictures without people posing with smiles on their faces, knowing that the camera is around. Capturing the guests and the bride and groom naturally without their knowledge is an art, and you need a skilled photographer for this; someone who can make you look good when you aren’t posing for a picture. Candid photography captures various emotions, such as happiness, sadness, and anxiety, etc. in a raw state and thus is more expensive.

  • Traditional Photography in Bangalore

    Traditional photography is the old-school concept of wedding photography, where people would stand in a group to pose for pictures, very much aware of the presence of the photographer and the camera. This type photography does not require much art or creativity since all you need to do is capture people as they pose formally for pictures .

  • Cinematic Videography in Bangalore

    Cinematic videography is much like candid photography where the photographer captures people naturally. In this, the complete wedding is recorded like a documentary. This style requires specific skills and creativity. Also, advanced equipment like drones and hi-tech cameras are used. The cinematic wedding videos will allow you to refresh the memories.

  • Traditional Videography in Bangalore

    This is the regular style of wedding videography where a professional will follow people around simply recording what you do using regular style without much creativity. Because there isn’t much special equipment required, this kind of videography is not very expensive.

  • Pre-wedding Photoshoot in Bangalore

    These days many couples are opting for pre-wedding shoots. These are also known as engagement shoots and are generally done 3-6 months before the main wedding. Couples like to preserve memories of their courtship days, which is when pre-wedding shoots take place. Pre-wedding shoots generally take place outdoors or at other spectacular locations. These can also follow a theme. Pre-wedding photography involves making the couples ‘pose’ for candid shots. These kinds of shoots require a very talented photographer who can bring out the emotion of love through these pictures.

  • Black and White Wedding Photography

    This type of wedding photography is also popular these days. These look striking and impressive and have a unique charm and eternal appeal. If there are too many bright colours in a picture, they take the focus away from the subject. Black and white photography focuses on the subject. wedding pictures in black and white. They carry a timeless classic appeal.

  • Drone Wedding Photography in Bangalore

    Drone photography is the new advanced photography technique where. It involves the use of sophisticated drones to get beautiful pictures from an aerial view. It can give a very spectacular look to all your pictures. They can capture the wedding location with the décor, in its entirety. These pictures truly stand out because of their magnificent scope. Drones are hi-tech machines and hence this type of photography comes expensive.

  • Vintage Wedding Photography

    Vintage wedding photography gives a classic touch to the pictures and make them look eternal. This photography style is very popular these days and looks wonderful and unique. Vintage photographs need to be clicked wisely for a great outcome. The colors, background, wedding dresses of the bride and the groom, accessories, decorations and many other things need to be considered carefully. The photographers use colours like peach, beige, light blue, lilac, gold and burgundy, etc. for a rich look. The attire and décor also needs to be in tune with the theme so that the pictures look graceful.

  • Artistic Wedding Photography

    Artistic wedding photography is like a work of art and look breathtakingly beautiful. It is the experience, passion and skill of the photographer that work like magic in this type of photography style.

How to choose the right Wedding Photographer and Videographer in Bangalore

Gone are the days when hiring a wedding photographer meant going to your neighbourhood shop and booking them for your wedding functions. Wedding photography is an entire field with different specialisations. It involves a lot of technique and talent. Therefore, choosing the right wedding photographer is as essential as the other aspects of your wedding functions, such as clothes, food, venue, etc. A skilled photographer can cover all your flaws, even those which your makeup artist may have missed. Your makeup artist and wedding photographer are responsible for making you look fantastic in your wedding photos. This is not a decision you can make lightly. Here are some tips and guidelines to give you an idea of the things you should discuss with any prospective wedding photographer before making a final decision.

  • Things to keep in mind while looking for a top wedding photographer

    • Make a list of your requirements. What kind of pictures do you want? Do you want just traditional photography or a mix of different styles? What is your budget and any other things you would like to know.

    • Read up and do some research about the different types of wedding photography styles. Try and decide what kind of styles you would like - Traditional, candid, black and white, pre-wedding shoot, etc.

    • Wedding photographers are one of the first services to be booked. The best wedding photographers in Bangalore get booked months before the date of the wedding.

Lessons for the Living

Stories of Forgiveness, Gratitude, and Courage at the End of Life
By Stan Goldberg
 - Paperback

  • Apple eBook

  • Nook eBook

Pages: 224
Size: 7.75 x 5.5
ISBN: 9781590306765

When Stan Goldberg was diagnosed with cancer, he chose to face his fear by helping others who were already in the process of dying: Stan signed up as a hospice volunteer and spent several years at the bedsides of the terminally ill. In this book, Stan shares the remarkable stories of people he met who were facing the end of life. Their stories shine a light on the human capacity for beauty, insight, forgiveness, and gratitude, as we see how people like us deal with anxiety and sadness with bravery and love.

But what's especially remarkable is that the bravery and love aren't as much expressed in grand, dramatic gestures as they are in ordinary acts and small accomplishments: in simple efforts at kindness, in asking for and receiving forgiveness, in the abandonment of anger, and in learning to speak directly from the heart—and to listen in the same way. What Stan ultimately discovers—and shares here—are not lessons in dying, but rather, lessons in learning how to live.

News & Reviews

"Lessons for the Living is that rare self-help book that actually lives up to its title. Engaging and enlightening, but never pedantic, Goldberg imparts basic life lessons on the importance of giving, communicating, loving, and forgiving. It took a lethal disease and time spent as a hospice volunteer caring for persons he came to know and love for Goldberg to learn these important truths. Unfortunately, many other persons do not learn them until the end of life approaches, if at all. Readers of Lessons for the Living are fortunate that Goldberg has learned and lived these lessons and can share them so ably." —Sacramento Book Review

"This is not a book to be taken lightly, nor one to be read to pass a summer's day. This is one to read in order to change how you plan on living out the rest of your days. . . . You don't have to be dying from cancer to find this book valuable. You just have to be dying from lack of life." —MyShelf.com

"This book draws aside the veil of frightening taboos about death and dying. As Stan Goldberg faces his own cancer by comforting the terminally ill, his deeply personal journey is both an inspiration and a compassionate guide for others." —Louise Branson, editorial writer for USA Today

"In this book, we learn what Stan Goldberg has learned about death’s many gifts, and a plain truth: living is not about triumphing over death; it is about embracing it. Despite all our efforts to avoid it, there is wisdom in death that deepens our life." —Mark Trautwein, editor of KQED’s Perspectives

"Stan Goldberg’s compassionate look at being present with those who are dying gives us a rare glimpse into lessons learned by being a witness to—and fully engaged participant in—the end of life. This encouraging book shares insightful awareness that the end of life presents opportunities for emotional and spiritual growth for all of us on life’s journey." —Mary Jo Gediman, outreach director of public radio’s This I Believe

"The greatest wisdom in this world comes from children and adults who are facing their own deaths. Stan Goldberg shares his own experience of mortality and the wisdom he gained from hospice patients in this remarkable book. I recommend it for anyone who hopes for connection and joy in this life." —John Golenski, executive director, George Mark Children’s Hospice

"A wonderful, wise, and deeply personal book that brings you closer to the bone of life." —Joan Halifax, author of Being With Dying

"Part memoir and part practical guide, this book should be of interest to us all, and in particular to those of us wondering how best to help our loved ones as they approach the end of life." —Wildmind Buddhist Meditation blog

Turkey, Saudis to form anti-Syria military alliance: Report

Written by  Published by:Shiite News
Published in Articles
Tuesday, 14 April 2015

Turkey and Saudi Arabia are reportedly in high-level talks aimed at establishing a military alliance with the purpose of intervening in Syria and attempting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.

As part of the plot, Turkey would provide ground troops backed by Saudi airstrikes in a bid to assist “moderate Syrian opposition” forces against government forces, US-based news outlet Huffington Post reported on Sunday, citing “sources familiar with the discussions.”

The talks were brokered by Qatar with the knowledge of Washington, the report noted.

US President Barack Obama was informed about the talks in February during a visit to the White House by Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani, the report quoted the sources as saying. It added, however, that the White House press office has declined to comment on the issue.

If the talks between Turkey and Saudi Arabia proceed successfully, their intervention in Syria would go forward whether or not the US offered support, said one source involved in the talks.

Following the February meeting at the White House, Obama said that the two heads of state had "shared ideas" on how to oust President Assad.

 “How we get there obviously is a source of extraordinary challenge, and we shared ideas in terms of how that can be accomplished,” Obama added, vowing to continue supporting “the moderate opposition” in Syria.

According to the report, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has taken a number of steps to suggest that he is “preparing to deploy ground troops to Syria,” while Saudi Arabia “demonstrated its willingness to intervene militarily in the region” by leading a coalition of Arab allies in waging a war against neighboring Yemen.

Saudi Arabia attacked Yemen in a bid to restore power to fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

The report further points out that while the US did not directly participate in the Saudi military aggression against Yemen, “American officials said the US provided logistical and intelligence support to the mission.”

It also refers to Erdogan’s latest meeting in Riyadh with Saudi Arabia's King Salman, adding that during the visit the Turkish president signed a defense deal with Qatar “to facilitate intelligence sharing, military cooperation, and possible deployment of Turkish and Qatari troops in one another's countries.”

Pointing to the Saudi-led military moves against fellow Arab states in the region, the Huffington Post then underlined that “Saudi Arabia, along with Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, refrained from publicly criticizing Israel's airstrikes and eventual [military] invasion of Gaza [in July 2014].”

It further pointed out that Egypt drafted a ceasefire proposal following the Israeli onslaught on the Palestinian enclave in August 2014, which “many believed was conspicuously favorable to Israel and failed to address [Palestinian resistance group] Hamas’s key demand -- that Israel lift the blockade of Gaza it imposed in 2007.”

It added that Saudi Arabia threw its support behind the pro-Israeli Egyptian proposal.
