Father to run Pittsburgh Marathon blindfolded for daughter
Mike Bruno's 7-year-old daughter born without vision
Running a marathon is tough enough. Doing so blindfolded for 26.2 miles is an even greater challenge, but that's exactly what Mike Bruno plans to take on during the Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon on May 5.
He's doing so in honor of his 7-year-old daughter, Cassie, who has autism and has been blind since birth.

"Having a vision-impaired daughter obviously has added additional challenges and tribulations to my duties as a parent," Bruno said. "I hope to gain a better understanding of what Cassie deals with on a daily basis. I hope this blindfolded journey through the 'Burgh' will ultimately make me a better father to guide Cassie through life."

Bruno said he intends to raise awareness and money for the Vision Research ROPARD Foundation, which supports "research, programs and services designed to prevent, treat and/or provide adaptive resources to patients of all ages affected by vision threatening retinal disease and their family members," according to the organization's website.
"I think raising awareness is our biggest goal. Unfortunately, someone out there, somewhere, as we speak right now, a doctor is coming to two parents to say, 'Your baby is not going to see,' and that's the most humbling experience you can ever have," said Bruno.
Bruno is the head volleyball coach at Point Park University. Bruno's friend, Point Park University head cross country coach Jim Irvin, agreed to serve as his sighted guide in the upcoming race.
"I think most people would say people are insane for running the marathon, let alone doing it like this," said Irvin. "What he's doing is twice as hard as what I'm doing. He's put a lot of trust in me."
Irvin said his fellow coach is putting himself in a challenge that his daughter faces every day. Cassie Bruno was born at 25 weeks and weighed just 1 pound, 4 ounces.
Her mother, Jennifer Bruno, called it one of the scariest days of her life.
"It is one of the most heartbreaking things ever. Everybody always wants a perfect life for their child, and to sit there and hold this tiny baby, and be told that she's never going to see, my world shattered for her," said Jennifer Bruno.
Cassie spent four months in the neonatal intensive care unit. She survived, but her vision did not.
"Sometimes I walk around the house with my eyes closed to see what it's like for her," said Cassie's older sister, Carly, 9. "It's kind of scary. You don't know where anything."
But Cassie has defied the odds, and her father intends to do the same.
"I took 10 steps with my eyes shut, and then I regained my awareness, and then I took 15 and then I tried running, just to see what it was like for her," said Mike Bruno. "I want everyone to know it's OK. It's OK to ask questions. It's not OK to stare and point fingers. Just ask us and we'll be happy to tell you her story."

Giants fall 4-3 to Mets in 16 innings
Tim Lincecum was long gone. The few remaining players in the San Francisco Giants' clubhouse sported ice wraps or bandages - or both. Manager Bruce Bochy just rubbed his face and scratched his head, searching for answers to the same questions that have plagued his team for more than a month.
If this wasn't the lowest point of the season for the defending World Series champions, it sure felt like it.
Eric Young Jr. scored on shortstop Brandon Crawford's fielding error with two outs in the 16th inning, and the Giants lost 4-3 to the New York Mets in a game that ended early Tuesday morning.
"That's as frustrating a game as we've had," Bochy said.
After 5 hours, 26 minutes, the Giants had nothing to show for the effort. They went 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position and stranded 18 overall - 13 in the last six innings.
San Francisco has lost 12 of 14 and is a season-high eight games below .500.
"There's frustration," right fielder Hunter Pence said. "We want to stay as positive as we can right now. We've got to get it done. We've got to keep pushing to find a way to turn it around."
Young singled with one out and stole second to start the decisive rally. After he advanced to third on Daniel Murphy's groundout, lefty Javier Lopez entered and intentionally walked David Wright.
Crawford couldn't handle pinch-hitter Anthony Recker's grounder, allowing Young to score and handing New York the victory. The Mets had been 0-3 in games of at least 15 innings this season.
"We've played in some long games and we haven't always come out on the winning side," Recker said. "As soon as the 10th inning started, we were like, `Are we really going to do this again?'"
It was the longest game in time and innings the Giants had played since losing 1-0 to the Arizona Diamondbacks in 18 innings on May 9, 2001.
Marco Scutaro walked leading off the bottom of the 16th inning, and Buster Posey hit a one-out single for the first five-hit game of his career. But Bobby Parnell regrouped to strike out Pablo Sandoval and retire pinch-hitter Guillermo Quiroz on a grounder for his 16th save.
Posey went 5 for 8, including a two-run homer and two doubles.
Tim Lincecum and Matt Harvey each threw seven innings of three-run ball before the bullpens shut down the opposition. Harvey said a blister on his right index finger has been bothering him his last two starts but he doesn't consider it an issue.
Josh Edgin (1-1) pitched two scoreless innings for the win. George Kontos (2-2) allowed the one unearned run in 2 2-3 otherwise solid innings.
"Keep competing, keep fighting. We just have to keep battling," Pence said.
It was the 18th major league game to last at least 14 innings this season, two shy of last year's total, according to STATS.
By the time the final out was recorded at 12:42 a.m. local time, only a few thousand fans remained from a sellout crowd of 41,497. The ferry back to Oakland-Alameda had blown its departing horn at 11:30 p.m., and the final BART trains left about midnight.
The Giants even held a 14th-inning stretch for those who stayed. So many seagulls started to hover above the stands that the scoreboard operator asked fans to clap to try and scare them away.
Both teams had chances to end the game earlier.
With runners on second and third in the 11th, Crawford made a diving stop on Marlon Byrd's grounder and recovered for a perfect throw from the outfield grass. In the 12th, Sandoval snagged Omar Quintanilla's liner at third and threw to first to get Kirk Nieuwenhuis for a double play.
The Giants blew a gift-wrapped opportunity when Posey doubled after his fly ball bounced off the glove of Murphy backpedaling from second while Byrd tried to make a sliding catch coming in from right. Sandoval was intentionally walked before Byrd caught Pence's slicing liner and Crawford flied out.
Brandon Belt, batting in the third spot for the first time in his career, was 0 for 8 with five strikeouts, including the final out of the 12th inning with two runners on base. Bochy said he expects to keep Belt in that spot Tuesday night.
Cole Gillespie broke his bat grounding out in the 13th with runners on second and third, and Gregor Blanco grounded out with the bases loaded in the 15th.
Posey's 13th homer put the Giants ahead 2-0 in the first.
Byrd singled leading off the fifth for the first hit off Lincecum, and John Buck's double sliced San Francisco's lead to 2-1.
Young tripled leading off the sixth, and Murphy followed with the tying single. Murphy advanced to third on Scutaro's throwing error at second base and scored when Ike Davis grounded into a double play to give the Mets a 3-2 lead.
Lincecum had a season-high 11 strikeouts. He gave up six hits and one walk. It was the 33rd time Lincecum has had at least 10 strikeouts in a game and the first time this year.
But the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner was nowhere to be found in the Giants' clubhouse after the game. A team spokesman said he had already left to recover - as did many of his teammates.
Other than Posey, Harvey had his way with San Francisco's lineup until late. He allowed six hits while striking out six and walking one.
Pence, who made a pair of diving catches in right field, tripled leading off the seventh. The ball hit the cement near the top of the right-field wall and ricocheted back onto the field.
Umpires reviewed the play and ruled that the triple stood, though the decision turned out to be an afterthought. Crawford immediately singled home Pence for the tying run.
NOTES: Posey will get Tuesday night's game off after catching 16 innings, Bochy said. ... The last Giants player to go 0 for 8 in a game before Belt was Jose Uribe against Atlanta on June 11, 1985. ... Barry Zito (4-6, 4.44 ERA) starts for the Giants against Dillon Gee (6-7, 4.45) on Tuesday. Zito began warming up in the bullpen in the bottom of the 16th in case the Giants tied it.

Padres hopeful Cabrera can return next week
SAN DIEGO -- Everth Cabrera is eligible to come off the disabled list on July 2, and the Padres are hopeful that their dynamic shortstop will be ready to do so.
Cabrera was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to June 17 with a mild strain in his left hamstring that happened while he was trying to steal a base.
Cabrera has been taking batting practice, and he could begin running the bases and fielding by this weekend.
"He's doing much better," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He's going to travel with us out east and get on the field, doing running, fielding. We'll see what happens Friday and Saturday and go from there."
The Padres haven't determined whether Cabrera will need to play in any rehab games before joining the club.
"We think there's a possibility that he may come off the disabled list on that 16th day," Black said.
Cabrera had been the Padres best hitter, and one of the best players in the National League, before his injury. He was hitting .305 with four homers, 31 stolen bases (tied for the league lead at the time) and a .382 on-base percentage.

New England expected to have sufficient power this winter
HOLYOKE, Mass. >> New England's electric grid operator says consumers can expect to have enough electricity to run their heating systems this winter.
But ISO-New England said Wednesday that the region's increased reliance on natural gas is making the region vulnerable to delivery problems during periods of extreme cold.
ISO says most natural gas-fired generators do not hold long-term fuel-delivery contracts but instead rely on local gas companies that may not have gas available when demand is high. The ISO then dispatches oil- and coal-fired power plants, which are more costly and run infrequently.
For this winter, ISO has secured nearly 2 million megawatt-hours of energy from oil-fired generators, oil- and natural gas-fired generators and energy-saving agreements with companies to reduce power if asked. ISO calls it an insurance policy for New England.

Crytek, CCP see F2P future for next-gen consoles
Both Crytek and CCP expect Sony and Microsoft to be more open to non-traditional business models with new platforms.
Both platform holders have made cautious explorations of the freemium sphere, with Sony notably embracing CCP's Dust 514, which is not only free-to-play but interacts with PC MMO EVE Online, both unthinkable concepts in the PlayStation 3's early years.
"It's hard to imagine the free-to-play transition slowing down any time soon – the model works so well for gamers. As we steer towards the next generation of consoles, I'd expect to see a much larger array of triple-A titles available in the free-to-play model," CCP's David Reid told MCV.
"What is common now on the PC, tablet and smartphone is likely to become the primary way of monetising console games by the end of this next generation."
Crytek's Phillipe Stegmann agreed.
"The more methods offered by a platform, the more attractive the platform will be," he said. "Because of this, I predict that all current monetisation options will be supported by all platforms."
Sony is expected to reveal the PlayStation 4, codenamed Orbis, at the February 20 PlayStation Meeting. Microsoft hasn't set any dates to unveil Durango (the "Xbox 720"), but both consoles seem likely to launch before the end of 2013, suggesting we'll hear something soon.
Thanks, Develop.

Lo Pan Temple
There is a deity for just about everything in the spiritual melting pot of Hong Kong. Located in Kennedy Town on the western end of Hong Kong Island, the Lo Pan Temple is the only temple in Hong Kong dedicated to Lo Pan, the patron saint of Chinese builders and carpenters. Lo Pan (also known as Lu Ban) was a Chinese carpenter, engineer, philosopher, inventor, military thinker and statesman who lived during the Spring and Autumn Period (771–476 BC).
Carvings inside the temple reveal it was constructed in 1884 by the Contractors' Guild through donations from people of related trades. Nowadays, most worshippers are building workers who wish to pay homage to their industry sage and pray for his blessing. These devotees celebrate the birthday of Lo Pan on the 13th day of the sixth Chinese lunar month each year.
The temple is a two-hall structure richly decorated with mural paintings, as well as Shiwan ceramic figurines and mouldings. On the two sides of the main door are engravings of Chinese poems that praise Lo Pan's contribution to architecture. Restoration on this Grade 1 historical building involved work on the roof's tiles, purlins (roof beams) and walls.

The 11 P's of an Afrocentric trauma system for South Africa -time for action!
Timothy Hardcastle
A trauma system involves the interaction of prehospital care, emergency centre care and definitive care (including prevention and rehabilitation services), providing an organised approach to acutely injured patients within a defined geographical area, from primary care to advanced care. Trauma is, after infectious disease, the second leading cause of death and disability in Africa (Table I), and must therefore feature on the national health agendas of all African countries.1-4 The requirements for developing cost-efficient, patient-centred trauma systems relevant to South Africa are outlined below (each item commencing with a P, and hence the title).
Political will
The first step to establish a trauma system is political engagement. Government must realise that trauma is a form of preventable disease, which can be reduced through legislation. The costs of establishing the system will be offset by the savings of economically productive life-years and improved outcomes,1,4,5 as has been demonstrated in the Developed World. The United Kingdom (UK)'s national project only received impetus when the government accepted that its trauma care was inadequate.6,7
In view of the moves towards a national health system in South Africa, and with trauma a leading cause of death and disability, this factor should feature prominently on the political agenda.3,8 Equally needed are prevention services, in areas such as interpersonal violence and road traffic collisions, and treatment and rehabilitation (hospital services and transfer protocols).9
Political will requires more than tacit acceptance, but also funding and human resources, particularly as it may take up to 10 years before the effects of a well-designed trauma system are demonstrable.10
Public pressure
In the USA and the UK, the drive to establish trauma systems initially camefrom sustainedpublic pressure. The latter is essentialfor government to improve care and establish systems of care based on best-practice. It is time for South Africans to bring the government to account, particularly in view of its commitment to the guidelines of the World Health Organization's Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011 -2020.11
Participation from multiple sectors
Establishing a trauma system is not simply a health service task; it involves many roleplayers who must 'own' the project from the start, including the departments of Health, Finance, Transport, Police and Local Government.4 In addition, the early integration of various NGOs (e.g. Automobile Association) and professional bodies (e.g. Trauma Society of South Africa, Association of Surgeons, Emergency Medicine Society) is essential to maximise service provider integration into an inclusive system.2,3
Professional compliance
Professional compliance implies that clinicians and other professionals must practise medical care based upon best-practice. This ensures referral of the right patient to the correct level of care, within a reasonable timeframe, to optimise outcome without primarily considering the patient's ability to pay. Such a goal also requires practitioners to remain current by continuing professional development, skill development and awareness of local policies regarding the system in their place of practice. They should not attempt to provide treatment beyond their own, or their facility's, capability. Such training would include courses such as Advanced Trauma Life Support, Definitive Surgical Trauma Care, College of Emergency Medicine Diploma in Primary Emergency Care, and the part-time MSc or MPhil (Emergency Medicine). Courses for prehospital and nursing personnel will also enhance the care of trauma patients. Formalisation of advanced training in emergency medicine and the sub-specialty of trauma surgery should develop adequate human resources for the current burden of disease.12,13
Provincial restructuring
Current referral patterns in South Africa largely deal with non-acute pathology and chronic care; trauma patients have different needs that differ from those of non-surgical emergencies, owing to the need for surgical care, which may be restricted to higher-level facilities.14
While most regional hospitals can manage surgical emergencies, many district hospitals and community clinics have neither the clinical skills nor the equipment to undertake complex care of major trauma. Delays are thus caused through multiple levels of transfer, leading to higher morbidity and mortality.
Transfer pathways are further hindered by the 'devil of distance' to definitive care. Provincial transfer policies must be flexible and EMS-driven to enable clinically based decisions to rapidly get the patient to the optimal level of care. Provincial staffing plans should establish posts for specialists in emergency medicine and surgery at regional hospitals and sub-specialist trauma surgeons at tertiary hospitals to oversee the implementation and maintenance of the system.
Private sector participation
In South Africa and elsewhere in Africa, care provision is a dichotomy. The highest proportion of health expenditure in South Africa is by the financially privileged and in the private sector, with a considerable amount also spent on chronic care of preventable disease in indigent patients. The private sector has well-resourced facilities but, being private, it follows that specialist medical staff in independent practice are not obliged to accept referred patients and to treat trauma except in life-threatening emergencies. The medical officer in a private emergency unit often has to try to refer the patient to a public facility for further care.14,15 This problem may be addressed by integrating the unconditional payment for comprehensive trauma care within a nationally funded care plan. The private sector also has skilled allied health and nursing personnel who can add value to the development of universally accessible and applicable systems.
Professional society accreditation
In the developed world, the assessment and designation of facilities as trauma care centres within a trauma system is undertaken by means of defined criteria compiled by professional organisations (e.g. American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma) that have the expertise to assist the government in assessments and provide unbiased opinions on facilities to meet the criteria.
In South Africa, the Trauma Society of South Africa (TSSA) established such criteria, accepted by the Colleges of Medicine and the Health Professions Council of South Africa.16 It therefore makes sense that the TSSA, as a group of trauma professionals, assists in this task in South Africa.
Proper data management
Data collection and audits assist in determining public policy and the quality of care within a care system. Databases that collect identified data from multiple providers allow comparison of outcomes and determination of the beneficial effects of a trauma system, such as the TRACS system in the USA. A long-term study from Canada has also demonstrated this.11
South Africa has a dearth of data. Government could consider universal implementation of the Trauma Society Trauma Bank in all public regional and tertiary hospitals; this would build up an accurate and comprehensive picture of the burden of disease of more severe trauma, to extrapolate the findings to public policy.
Purpose-driven governance - improved outcomes
Quality data can revise practice in line with good governance principles. Data from before-and-after studies of implementation of trauma systems show reduced overall costs and nonetheless improved outcomes.10 Additionally, health care funders can justify equipment and human resource expenses for cost-efficient care.
Post-trauma rehabilitation and support services
Rehabilitation services are not a priority in South Africa. However, international experience proves that early rehabilitation services increase the ability to re-establish economically productive employees for work. In most parts of South Africa, there are only acute in-hospital rehabilitation or long-term outpatient clinic-based facilities. Only one province has a formal 'residential' multidisciplinary rehabilitation service for longer-term rehabilitation (Western Cape Rehabilitation Centre (WCRC) in Cape Town). This shortage blocks acute beds with patients who need post-acute in-facility rehabilitation, since they cannot be discharged to an outpatient service. The private sector has such facilities, and public-private partnerships could potentially provide these to a wider population. This sorely needed aspect of the system would have to be built up from scratch.
Practise the theory in a financially sound model
Theorising about the ideal system, and adopting a system that works in other countries, is easy. However, attempting to replicate developedworld care in the developing world is foolish and short-sighted. We need a financially sound model, building on the existing infrastructure, that will lead to cost-effective care, through refinement of personnel allocation, patient distribution and resource provision. Currently, no such system exists, but with co-operation and determination it can be initiated and established. The necessary steps are:
acceptance by national government of the need for trauma systems
integration of the command and control of pre-hospital, emergency department, hospital and post-hospital care of the injured
review of existing facilities and services, compared with a defined standard (e.g. TSSA guidelines16) to determine optimal transfer and referral pathways separate from those for chronic care
determination of the true burden of disease, morbidity and mortality through ongoing robust data collection
development of rehabilitation facilities in all provinces
audit and refinement of the system until improved outcome is demonstrated.
Trauma systems improve survival and decrease morbidity - but can only do so after universal acceptance and sustained application. The incidence and impact of South Africa's trauma burden can be reduced through the development and implementation of an Afrocentric trauma system that provides efficient, timely and cost-effective care. It is time to move from 'islands of excellence in a sea of indifference' to a co-ordinated patient-centred system.

Publicizing pollution facts and climate change warnings doesn't seem to convince our communities of the environmental issues we face today. Scientists use obscure measurements, journalists cite consequences that will take decades to arrive... But what if we discovered that, just by breathing in our cities, everyone ends up "smoking" the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes per month?
Sh**t! I Smoke is an app that translates daily air quality data into tangible information for the majority of the population. The app connects Berkeley Earth's rule of thumb (one cigarette per day is the rough equivalent of a PM2.5 level of 22 μg/m3) to open databases of Air-Quality Stations worldwide.
Use location to discover the air quality near you, or search on a map for stations elsewhere. Created to raise awareness to air pollution, the tool is free, open-source, and respectful of your privacy. It was able to create a discussion around the subject of air pollution globally, from TV shows in California to newspapers in China.

My first New Year's Day in New York City, I was panic struck: where was I going to find my annual dose of black-eyed peas? Not having any of the ingredients on hand and with all the stores closed, I was afraid I'd spend 1996 poor and unfortunate. Call me superstitious, but I reckon I need all the help I can get. So after much wandering around the Upper West Side, with only slice joints and the occasional Chinese take-out open for business, a friend suggested we go to Harlem.
But of course! Being new to the city, I hadn't visited Harlem yet because it still had a bad reputation (that would, fortunately, soon be reversed). But if I didn't have my black-eyed peas for wealth and luck, I was certain to be doomed. So we decided to take a chance and go to Sylvia's.
Well, the first two taxis refused to take us there (because Harlem was considered dangerous—sheesh!) but once we finally arrived, all was well: Harlem wasn't scary, Sylvia's was warm and welcoming, and we all had our fill of slow-cooked black-eyed peas dripping with peppers and bacon. And I became a frequent visitor to Harlem's excellent soul food restaurants—everything from church kitchens to the all-you-can-eat buffets with the diners and fine dining establishments thrown in for good measure. But I'm not here to talk about Harlem, I'm here to talk about black-eyed peas.
This southern staple has nourished me my whole life. My grandparents grow them on their farm and nary a dinner is complete without a heaping bowl of the legumes. Of course, I'm a bit biased when I say the black-eyed-peas from Chambersville, TX are the best, but there is something about terroir—it's just as important for peas as it is for grapes. Unfortunately, they weren't able to harvest any this year due to drought, but hopefully we'll get a big haul next year. In the meantime, I can buy some at Whole Foods.
They're not only healthy for both your body and the earth (the plants release nitrogen and some farmers plant them just to enrich the soil) but they're tasty and versatile to cook with as well. You can serve them chilled with peppers in a dish called Texas caviar, you can form them into savory cakes, you can fry them up as croquettes or you can make a traditional hot pot flavored with bacon and onions.
So if you need that extra push of good fortune in the new year, consider eating some black-eyed peas on Monday. Do they work? I have no idea, but let's just say, the one year I didn't eat them on New Year's Day I broke my wrist skiing. Ouch! Suffice to say, I never made that mistake again!
Big pot of black-eyed peas
- 1/2 pound bacon, chopped
- 3 jalapeños, seeded and diced
- 1 medium-yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound dried black-eyed peas
- 6 cups water
- 1 (10-ounce) can tomatoes with green chiles and its juices
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
In a large pot, cook the bacon on medium low heat, turning once, for 10 minutes or just until some of the fat has rendered. With a slotted spatula, remove the bacon and place on a paper-lined plate. Leaving on the heat, add the onion and jalapeños to the pot and cook while stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
Add to the pot the black-eyed peas, cooked bacon, water, Ro-Tol tomatoes, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the pot to a boil then turn the heat down to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 1 hour. After this time, remove the lid and continue to cook on low until peas are tender, about another hour. Add more water if the level appears to get too low. Taste and adjust seasonings, and serve warm.

The year-end fiscal cliff-hanger is confronting donors and their financial advisors with the possibility of higher tax rates and limitations on itemized deductions just as they are considering charitable giving plans.
Last week, Fidelity Charitable rolled out an online Giving & Taxes Center to help philanthropists find the best approaches to funding giving plans now and in the future.
The new tool offers four strategies to make the most of the 2012 tax environment and prepare for potential changes in 2013:
- Increase cash donations before deductions potentially lose value.
- Donate long-term appreciated securities to reduce taxes now and later.
- Accelerate income where possible to take advantage of current tax rates.
- Build flexibility into charitable trusts to prepare for a potential increase in estate taxes.
Absent congressional action before the end of this year, the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts will expire, Fidelity noted in a statement. In addition, President Barack Obama has proposed tax changes that would affect the tax advantages donors currently see for their charitable gifts.
"Donors care deeply about the causes they support, and understanding the tax environment can help them give even more to charity," Sarah Libbey, Fidelity Charitable's president, said in the statement.
"The tax rules could change in 2013, but the majority of the rules for 2012 are certain and there are steps philanthropists can take to maximize their giving now so they can meet their charitable goals this year and in the years ahead."

How does Martin Dosh make a piano sound like this? Like it's wrapping its strings around you, massaging your back with hammer taps and telling you everything is going to be alright. He can't be playing more than a handful of chords, but somehow they're cinematic, imbued with glowing reds and oranges. The kind of sound that demands you stand on something tall and stare longingly into middle distance. Dosh is a multi-instrumentalist who surrounds himself with concentric circles of family and friends to build freewheeling instrumental pop filtered through jazz, hip-hop and electronica, and The Lost Take is a well-mannered and beautifully concise demonstration of his craft, if an eerily familiar one.
Familiar, because a review of his self-titled debut could almost double as a review of this, his third, with a few name changes and swapped adjectives. It's still a record littered with pithy, inventive beats, the difference here being that instead of leading every track, many simply find a nook to inhabit in their accompanying melodies. On 'Um, Circles And Squares', he plays a busy high-attack synth line off of samples from regular collaborator Andrew Bird's plaintive violin. Only once they've meshed does he lay a hi-hat-heavy rhythm out beneath, creating a charming and upbeat highlight. On another, 'Fireball', the beat is an infectiously angular bell-laden groove that eventually breaks free of another urgent, bubbling synth and samples of his drumming students chanting the title and manages to play itself with nothing but silence before it's cruelly cut short.
His students aren't the only strand of Dosh's life weaved into The Lost Take - his wife Erin contributes both the album artwork and vocals to the beautiful 'Ship Wreck', a winding mesh of echoing strings, toy xylophones, and the perfect intertwining of Martin and Erin's vocals, spiraling upwards like wayward birds. His friends, too - seemingly composed of some of Minneapolis' musical elite - make subtle appearances. Tapes 'n Tapes' Erik Applewick lends rich, woody riffing to 'Mpls Rock And Roll' before the aforementioned glowing piano seeps in at the very last minute, through defiant snare hits and cymbal flourishes. But even with relatively few extra players, tracks like the Books-esque 'O Mexico' are hazy, wonderfully composed songs that stand shoulder to shoulder with the more collaborative efforts on show.
Dosh's insistence on surrounding himself with friends and family once again creates the same intensely personal air that also runs through his previous releases. And while not all tracks reach the heights where musical inventiveness meets balanced and affecting sentimentality, The Lost Take is a richly idiosyncratic piece of work, charming and inoffensive without failing to make a sizable impression.

Furthermore, we can claim a food and beverage allowance of €24 per day for all the days you have sailed under German flag. Expenses for professional education and renewal of sailing related certificates can also be claimed so it's well worth checking what you're owed.

Here are some tips to help you choose a good school. I hope you find them useful. 1) If a school tells you will learn much faster than any other place be careful. You cannot learn English from zero in two months. 2) Be careful of schools which use a computer for 95% of the teaching. This is not the best way to learn. Some computer learning can be helpful though. 3) If you are going to study abroad, you must pay the full tuition amount to apply for a visa in some countries. Make sure you know what the refund policy is. 4) Be sure to investigate several schools in your area to find out which ones have qualified, experienced teachers. Ask students who have studied there before. 5) If you are going to study in another country make sure you understand the requirements for visas and study permits.

Imagine Dragons are finishing their new album, which should be announced soon.
So it's very possible that one of the singles will be featured in TF5.

Damn. I'd have liked to see Tyler return, his score for the first one is one of his very best. Jablonsky hasn't written a score I've really liked since Your Highness, so I won't hold out hope.
2015-09-05 09:31:25
I'll agree with you there, Edmund. Last years TMNT was certainly one of the best of Tyler's career. I'm a little partial to Jablonsky, though. Not sure exactly why, but for some reason or another, I'm always drawn to his music a little more than other composers out there (other than Zimmer and Williams, of course). I guess you could say Jablonsky is to me as Djawadi is to Macejko. Lol
2015-09-05 12:15:26
I hope Jablonsky delivers
2015-09-06 09:47:54
Seriously, Edmund? Ever since Iron Man 3 all Tyler does is rehashing himself. TMNT sounds EXACTLY the same as IM3 and Thor, and you say it's "one of his very best"? Even "Into The Storm" had more individuality to it, and that's talking about a score that - once again - ripped of Hans' "Time". I can't say TMNT isn't a entertaining score in some ways, but come on - Jabs is in a completely different league and always was.
Edmund Meinerts
2015-09-07 09:34:55
TMNT is more orchestrally dense and rhythmically complicated than pretty much any other Tyler score I've ever heard. There are bits in there that almost sound like the Matrix in terms of intricate, overlapping brass writing, something you definitely don't hear in IM3 or Thor 2 - just listen to the track "Turtles United" from about the 3-minute mark onwards, that's some phenomenal brass writing! Yeah, the main theme is a typical one from Tyler, and probably the score's biggest weakness overall, but the actual composition itself is at a level far beyond his two Marvel scores.
I'll take Jablonsky at his best over anything Tyler's done as well, but for me Jablonsky has only ever been at his best in about 2.5 scores: Steamboy, Transformers 1 and the best 20-30 minutes or so of Your Highness. For the rest of his career he's been wildly unpredictable and hit-and-miss (with an emphasis on the former, sadly). Tyler's as stale a composer as you could find in the current film scoring arena, I won't deny that, but he is at least consistent.

I don't know his Battleship score was pretty good.

I like Brian Tyler and Steve Jablonsky, but the first Score for TMNT was not his best. His Scores for the Fast & Furious Franchise is so much better. Jablonsky composed great Scores for Transformers, Enders Game, Lone Survivor and the other ones.

Hi guys, TF4 released in my country (Hungary), and i've find a difference in our version and the english one. So when the Dinobots blocking the bridge, in the music plays the "Honor To The End" from 1:14 in the english one. But in the Hungarian, there plays the Decision variant. I don't know why. You guys have something like this is your versions?

Here in Mexico, all versions had Honor to the End, even the bluray which was released like 2 weeks ago, has it.
Very curious to hear it though. I assume it was the last bit of Decision, the dramatic heroic part, yes?
2014-11-07 18:37:35
actually I never thought someone could (or want to) pay that much attention to detail in terms of music in hungary. yes, another hungarian here...
I cant help you with this specific thing you're saying but I can say that many times they change or leave out things. in music also in dialogue and editing. I dont know why and its disturbing that they actually can.
if you want to be safe and clear then watch the english original mix always because no matter where you are on this planet thats what the director approved.

Ignore these assholes. There is no expanded score out for this movie. The best you could do to make it longer is to get a hold of the four EP tracks the composer put out shortly before the rest of the soundtrack.
In time, something longer and better might show up but for now, be happy with what we have. We almost didn't get anything.

So I finally saw the film, which is pretty weak... Too long & totally messy (I mean, more than usual for Bay).
I love Bay but this was terribly disappointing, the few great scenes, like the "Your Creators Want You Back" sequence, are surrounded by a total mess... And it brings nothing we haven't seen in the 3 previous films... -_-
As for the score, it's not a masterpiece either... Compared to it, TF1 & 2 are golden age classics (but well those 2 were co-written by some people who didn't work on 3 & 4, that's why...) ! I do dig Lockdown's theme in the end, and the Imagine Dragons/Jablonsky/Zimmer song participation is for me the best thing in it... Other than that, it manages to get as lost as the film it supports !

People should know the length of a movie they're headed into. Especially if it's a Michael Bay movie, expect it to be long.
Hybrid Soldier, in what way was it "a total mess"?
2014-07-19 19:42:08
I think the score was very fitting to the pictures, but not as stand-alone as the previous three.
As for the film, it is in my opinion by far the best out of the series. All the things I loved in the previous ones were back (and even better), and some of the things that really annoyed me in the first movies, were toned down or just removed. Also, the story was better, and the humans had a real role to play, instead of just being in the middle of a neverending Decepticon/Autobots war.
I just cannot understand how one can like TF2 or TF3, and not this one. It's got the same ingredients, and it's just more expertly handled. You know, in fact it's reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean 3: its plot was a little more dense and its directing was a bit more daring, and then suddenly everyone was complaining about how long and messy it was. But for me it was by far the best of the trilogy...
But don't forget I'm a gigantic fan of Michael Bay's visual style, I could watch endlessly any scene shot by him. And I saw TF4 three times already (and still noticing new awesome shots the third time around!).
Hybrid Soldier
2014-07-19 23:00:30
You have no idea what I mean by "too long"... MOS is too short, and Titanic is perfect... ;)
It's all relative to the movie, and TF4 would have been way better with 30 min less I think...
It's a mess in so many ways I wouldn't know where to start... Characters appearing from nowhere & disappearing with no reason, the total changing of Stanley Tucci out of nowhere in the middle, the constant incoherences about the Transformers origins in all 4 movies (first it all came from the Cube, which arrived... on Earth... But Earth was already visited by Transformers with the tomb of the Primes, and actually there was a Transformers on the Moon who was reaching Earth, but no no in the end Transformers destroyed Dinosaurs in order to have material to create more Transformers, and Optimus is finally a creation from "higher forces" and who cares about the Cube... wait what ?), it's getting almost as confusing as the X-Men saga...
I love Bay, I watch all his stuff when I have a chance, even the partly laughable Pearl Harbor, but this one was really hard to go through... Some good stuff in it though like Marky Mark, Lockdown or the Dinobots... My fav' film & score remains the second one...
2014-07-19 23:37:26
I wonder how composers feel when they're working on rubbish films like this. It must be hard to get inspired about a collection of casual sexism, racism, incoherent action, product placement, government propaganda and laughable dialogue. That said, some great scores have been written for terrible films.
I don't understand what happened to Bay, he used to make some entertaining films, but the last decade or so has been a disaster for him.
2014-07-19 23:39:04
The Allspark creates the lifeforms from the transformium and these creators, which appear to be a mix of organic and cybertronian. They harvest transformium on Earth, 65 million years ago.
The Allspark then is lost (TF1), making the energon supply to run low.
After, the Fallen and the Primes take charge as governors, sort of, and set to find the energon, harvesting the suns. They create the Harvester thing, Fallen defeated, Primes dead.
No Primes, civil war begins on Cybertron. Sentinel leaves, war on Cybertron is lost, Megatron leaves in search for Sentinel and Cube (Could or could not know they were both "neighbors") Sentinel is lost, wanders through the stars until the 60's and moon-crashes, all Transformers leave in a hopeless search for the Cube.
TF1 begins, Megatron rises, in hopes of using the Harvester and then waking up Sentinel to rebuild Cybertron with a massive stock of new Energon, dies, returns, meets Fallen, they attack, they lose, Fallen's gone, Soundwave's backup plan is set in motion with Sentinel, TF3.
He dies, again. Chicago is ruins, humans wanna kill all bots, Creators find out of all the mess, send Lockdown, Galvatron rises, doesn't die, finally. And that's it. Not that difficul.
I do suggest you watch AOE again. It may sound weird but now that you know this and know waht you're going into in duration and this "mess" you talk about, you might enjoy it better. I enjoyed my third showing more than the first. Did feel the long thing at first. (First time I go to the bathroom during a film in years)
Did you see it 3D or 2D?

The score in the movie is less disappointing than what we got on cd (many good cues that I didn't hear on any of the tracks...)

2014-07-20 03:33:38
WFT???? It's a great movie like the previous movies. Michael Bay is a master to create "Blockbusters". The score has many beautiful themes like the previous scores. Sorry Hybrid, but this time i am disagree with you.
P.D. I saw this film 3 times like the first 3 movies.
2014-07-20 05:19:03
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought TF2 had a better score than the first one, even though it's not by much!
2014-07-20 06:48:01
Transformers (2007) had quite a few great themes, but most appeared only once in the film. None but "Arrival to Earth" and the Autobots theme were reused in ROTF.
ROTF had fewer good themes, but the overall score was better -- both in film and as stand-alone.
In DOTM, a remixed version of Arr2Earth a part of "Bumblebee" were reused, once each, along with two major themes -- Battle/Moon Mission and Shockwave/Driller. Both the score and the film sounded quite appealing to me, though not as much as 1 or 2.
This one ditched nearly all the themes from the first trilogy, and featured none of SJ's peak quality. And so, from a Michael Bay fan:-
And that, mi amigos, is my opinion.
Hybrid Soldier
2014-07-20 10:05:00
Bumblebee from TF1, that theme was not written by Steve. No one is ever gonna make me believe that... :)
2014-07-20 12:16:58
The part in DOTM where Bumblebee killed Soundwave (also the DVD menu) sounded Jab-ish to me. My mistake.
@Hybrid, any idea who did it then?
2014-07-20 18:09:58
"Bumblebee", "Optimus", "Auotbots", and several other themes were all used more than once in TF1. IMO it'll always be the best Transformers score.
@Hybrid, it seems that for once you're in the know about who worked on TF1! I don't mean it to sound insulting, it's just that you always say that score is a mess and nobody knows anything about it. Can you please tell us who wrote Bumblebee?

The Film for me was the best by far. Mark Wahlberg, Is such a better actor than Shia lebeouf. The Score was great to I thought that it was Maybe equal with the 1st if not just underneath it.
2014-07-22 08:05:00
Wahlberg is the worst actor ever...and the score is a poor copy of the other ones...
2014-07-22 20:38:23
Mark Walhberg is a good actor. However, he doesn't have half the charisma Shia Labeouf has. But there's no reason to shit on Walhberg. He did a correct job on TF4, but his character was lame.

The original interview has NO music, somebody (who uploaded this video) just putting some fanmade stuff to the pictures.

You can find it on youtube: Age of Extinction - Truck (fanmade, not Jablonsky, whatever the description is says)

Here's a custom cover I made from the chinese international poster. Thought you chaps would enjoy it:

Even a picture of BUMblebee's butt is better than the official one.
2014-07-08 15:21:20
That was a response I did not expect, lol.
I think the original cover is decent, but It would've been better without Cade and the rest, so it was differente from the EP's.
Pr using the poster with Grimmy, idk. A completely new image like the ROTF cover woul've been much better.
Still, you have another cover now.

No offense but the font you used on your covers looks bad
2014-07-08 17:29:54
Well, if you happen to know another font that works better, tell me about it, I'd appreciate it. I can change the cover's font too, if you tell me which could work better for you.
And just ot ouf curiosity, why does it look bad?
2014-07-08 18:30:35
Hi, the adress doesn't works
2014-07-08 19:58:28
Manulder, remove the spaces
HZ doesn't allow links to be posted so you have to put some spaces in the link when you post it
2014-07-09 06:59:59
Font is ok, don't listen to unsustained BS...

Just watch your letter spacing in "MUSIC"...

Not a so good score as I expected. Very percussive, electronica elements and strings ostinatos are too present!
Finally, best tracks come from EP album!
It's definitly not the best "Transformers"'score!
The first movie stayed the best (Arrival to Earth, Autobots, All Spark, Bumblebee, Scorpinok).
These tracks lack of identity! Themes aren't emotional as previous others.
Thanks to "Imagine Dragons" who brings to the movie a true identity. Great arrangements of the song by Steve through the score.
Ah!And the worst moment is that version of "Arrival to Earth" (The Legend Exists) which is brutally stopped when you waited a big and epic reprise!! Steve should arrange and extend the track for a better release on the album!
To resume,
Best tracks (in order): Hunted(from EP)/Leave Planet Earth Alone, Autobots Reunite (EP), Decision, Dinobots Charge (great progression of feelings), Honor To The End and for action : Cemetery Wind and Punch Hold Slide Reapeat (very cool track).
Tracks which should be good : The Legend Exists (if the track had'nt stop so quickly! ; Have Faith Prime (too short)
The Knight Ship (too constant); Theme for Galvatron (too "Man of Steel"esque! :D)
Score evaluation (OUT OF THE MOVIE because I don't see it yet) : 2/5

@Hale: Do you expected something different from a Hans Zimmer's protege lol
The Legend Exists, the file is corrupted, and is broke.
2014-07-05 22:31:20
Also, i really like the Autobots' theme playing by piano in Have Faith Prime ;)
2014-07-05 22:45:14
People are expecting the score to be more like previous. I have heard people say it's not as big or bombastic, if you had seen and read Jablonsky's interviews about it you'll know that they took a more subtle approach than previous scores.
No, it's not the best of the four, and if I really wanted to be picky, I could comment on how the Dinobots theme & end of Cemetary Wind sound like TSFH "Freedom Fighters", but I do not care cause they're great nonetheless. Certain bits are a bit generic and typical Jablonsky but that's just his style (Ender's Game anyone?) which quite frankly I love, because few composers I think of can pull off what Jablonsky has done for Transformers.
Dark of the Moon sucked, but the score was badass.

"Certain bits are a bit generic and typical Jablonsky but that's just his style, which quite frankly I love."
There is just so much wrong with that comment. I am sure Jablonsky would be thrilled to hear such a back-handed compliment.
2014-07-05 23:26:56
It's not a bad thing, his style. But when you listen to some of his recent scores such as AoE or Enders Game, tracks like the end of Hunted, "Final Battle" from EG, you'll understand what I mean. I never meant it as a bad thing, as I love both
Don't be such a negative nancy....nancy
2014-07-06 01:07:18
No file not corrupted its really a quick end.
I prefer transformers 1 not because the score is bombastic but because I still often listen the score even after 7 years. I dont think I could do that much with this one.
You really the approach is finest than the previous? Lol
2014-07-06 01:27:47
@Hale: The track is corrupted, i listened trough Spotify and is perfectly, in Itunes is broke
2014-07-06 11:00:12
MrZimmerFan: what the different between Spotify's and Itunes'? i watched the movie and it was the same thing, Optimus grab the sword and the music just stopped right there.
2014-07-06 11:56:33
In Spotify, the track is good, well arranged and isn't stop quickly(because i download that track in Itunes, and is broke, the theme stops and cracks) and that link for Youtube, is for that track, and sounds fine.
2014-07-06 12:32:27
I bought the score off iTunes and there's nothing corrupted. Track 17 " The Legend Exists (1:16)" is ok and sounds good, have no problem with it.
2014-07-06 16:54:57
Exactly Marc, that's how the track is in the film... It's only a short scene.
Has no one seen the movie?!??
2014-07-06 17:02:32
not a bat score, but 1,2,3 are better, because more "epic"...
2014-07-07 10:27:37
This score is clearly the worst of the four films.
Too linear, not enough melodic and epic.
Steve jablonsky in automatic mode.
Where is the inspiration?
2014-07-07 15:56:12
Haters wanna hate. I truly enjoy both the original soundtrack and the EP.
2014-07-07 18:38:18
I actually really enjoy the different approach to this score. Sure, is it as thematic as the others? Perhaps not. That does not mean it's not enjoyable. It's just different. In fact, I'd take this score over ROTF any day.
Maybe it's just because I'm a percussionist at heart, but I love this score. If for one thing, the man does know how to write rhythm like nobody's business.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
Q-BOPZ® pairs with your smart device via Bluetooth. You just need to make sure your device's Bluetooth is switched on, select QDOS and you will be connected and able to enjoy your music straight away.
Can I turn the LED lights on/off once it's paired to my device?
Yes, absolutely! Once the Q-BOPZ Candy is connected to your device, the LED lights will remain on. If you wish to turn them off, you press twice on the play button. To turn them back on again, you simply press twice again on the play button.
Will my Q-BOPZ® charge through my PC/laptop?
Yes – you can charge Q-BOPZ® from any PC, Mac or power adaptor. Just use the USB cable provided. Fully insert the USB into the port, and the micro USB into the Q-BOPZ®. In some instances you'll need to check that your computer or laptop is not in sleep mode, or Q-BOPZ® won't be able to charge.
Why can't I see the red light when charging? Does this mean the Q-BOPZ® is broken?
Not necessarily. You may have difficulty seeing the charging light through the silicone in some of the darker colour Q-BOPZ® speakers. You can always see the red light in a dark room, and there is a sound that indicates that Q-BOPZ® is being charged. If you're having real difficulties, get in touch with our customer services team.
My music is breaking up. Why is this?
Your device might be too far away from the Q-BOPZ® and that affects the quality of the connection between your device and the speaker. Make sure your device is within 10 metres of the Q-BOPZ®, with a clear line of sight. Your music should then be fine!
What happens if my Q-BOPZ® will not connect with my device?
Clear your Bluetooth list of all the previous devices you have connected to. Your device should then search again for something to pair to. The name 'Candy' should appear on your list. Select it to pair with your speaker. The Q-BOPZ® will make a beeping sound when it is connected.
