he composed one of the greatest American scores from the viewpoint of a jewish immigrant. Copland’s score, although composed before the choreography was set, went hand in hand with the choreography and feeling of each section within the piece. For instance, the first Allegro of Appalachian Spring titled, “Eden Valley” acquires the use of harmonic progressions. Copland describes the Allegro as, “excited, breathless children trying to tell a single story but continually interrupting each other…

Nitro-junkie & Badmotorjam I have a natural appreciation for muscle cars, classic automobiles, motorcycles et al. I also love movies, and my penchant for these appreciations means life stories are analogous to all things with engines and celluloid. What’s even better is there is never a shortage of stories to tell. Last week’s adventure at the pump was eye opening for me anyway.

Because there is only 1.5 laparoscopes per trained team, the laparoscope is a very valued, but at the same time scarce commodity. The same laparoscope is often re-used in an effort to perform as many sterilizations as possible while there is still adequate light, water, or surgical team presence, and therefore proper instrument sterilization and cleaning procedures are often not followed. Even though there is no known data linking this kind of procedure to an increase in infections or…

they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.” Eliot 's poem, “The Waste Land” (1922), embodies the essence of this quote; take from what is already there, and place his own updated interpretation for the modern audience to provide their own temporal relativist view on top of the already layered meaning of the original work quoted within Eliot 's poem.
