<p class="yiv5646456975"><em><strong>The Heart of the Season</strong></em></p>
<p class="yiv5646456975">“<em>Autumn has always been a time of reflection—a season where we find ourselves drawn inward, reevaluating what matters most and savoring the comforts of home. In many ways, fall is nature’s love letter to us, an invitation to pause, breathe deeply, and bask in the warmth of the present moment</em>.”</p>
<p>”<em>There is something profoundly grounding about autumn—how the earth seems to whisper that, just like the leaves falling from the trees, it’s okay to let go of what no longer serves us. It’s in this space of release and renewal that we can begin to cultivate more intention, more joy, and more connection in our everyday lives.</em>”</p>
<p class="yiv5646456975"><em>“I am deeply grateful for each of you, the readers of Ile Maison, who inspire me with your passion for wellbeing, art, nature and innovation. This issue is dedicated to you—to celebrating the small moments of magic in our daily lives, and to the bigger vision of creating spaces that nurture us and the world around us.”</em></p>
<p class="yiv5646456975"><em>“As we journey through the autumn months, let’s open our hearts to the possibilities that come with change, and take time to honor the sacredness of home. After all, in the art of living well, our homes are not just places to live—they are expressions of love, places to dream, and the foundations of a life lived with intention.”<br />
</em>~ <em><strong>with Love, Ilona Lee</strong></em></p>

WITH HEALTHY FALL FAVORITES FROM AWARD-WINNING ARMY CHEF<br />
How the Army’s Culinary Specialists Are Using Food to Improve the<br />
Health &amp; Happiness of Soldiers</p>
<p>Feeding an Army of hungry Soldiers requires serious planning, but keeping meals tasty and healthy takes a whole new level of talent, creativity, and skill.</p>
<p>Thankfully, U.S. Army chefs are a group of gifted culinary specialists following their passion for the culinary arts, while serving their country and providing fellow Soldiers with the proper food and nutrition they need to fuel their bodies and minds, optimize energy, and perform at their best.</p>
<p>The nutritious food Army chefs dish out to Soldiers is driven by the Army’s “Go For Green” program that labels food either green (fresh produce, whole grains, lean fish), yellow (seafood, red meat, pasta), or red (desserts, fried foods, cheeses) to make it easy for Soldiers to find high-performance foods and drinks that boost their fitness, strength, and health.</p>
<p>While the Army’s dining facilities may remind the average person of traditional cafeterias, menus are anything but standard cafeteria fare. The Army’s culinary specialists offer a savory and tasty dining experience with the familiar taste of home, boosting the morale of Soldiers around the world.</p>
<p>As the weather cools down, award-winning Army chef and Staff Sergeant (SSG) Samantha Poe is dishing up delectable fall favorites, including a delicious and healthy beet cake full of essential vitamins that can help with blood pressure and athletic performance, which helped lead the U.S. Army Culinary Arts Team to a silver medal at the 2020 World Culinary Olympics in Stuttgart, Germany. SSG Poe was also named the American Culinary Federation (ACF) Pastry Chef of the Year in 2019.</p>
<p>SSG Poe shares her healthy fall recipes with the American public, discuss how the “Go for Green” program provides for the well-being of Army Soldiers, along with great ideas for home chefs who are looking to bring healthy, tasty options to the table this season – for football games, family dinners, and beyond.</p>

WITH HEALTHY FALL FAVORITES FROM AWARD-WINNING ARMY CHEF<br />
How the Army’s Culinary Specialists Are Using Food to Improve the<br />
Health &#038; Happiness of Soldiers</p>
<p>Feeding an Army of hungry Soldiers requires serious planning, but keeping meals tasty and healthy takes a whole new level of talent, creativity, and skill.  </p>
<p>Thankfully, U.S. Army chefs are a group of gifted culinary specialists following their passion for the culinary arts, while serving their country and providing fellow Soldiers with the proper food and nutrition they need to fuel their bodies and minds, optimize energy, and perform at their best. </p>
<p>The nutritious food Army chefs dish out to Soldiers is driven by the Army’s “Go For Green” program that labels food either green (fresh produce, whole grains, lean fish), yellow (seafood, red meat, pasta), or red (desserts, fried foods, cheeses) to make it easy for Soldiers to find high-performance foods and drinks that boost their fitness, strength, and health.</p>
<p>While the Army’s dining facilities may remind the average person of traditional cafeterias, menus are anything but standard cafeteria fare. The Army’s culinary specialists offer a savory and tasty dining experience with the familiar taste of home, boosting the morale of Soldiers around the world.</p>
<p>As the weather cools down, award-winning Army chef and Staff Sergeant (SSG) Samantha Poe is dishing up delectable fall favorites, including a delicious and healthy beet cake full of essential vitamins that can help with blood pressure and athletic performance, which helped lead the U.S. Army Culinary Arts Team to a silver medal at the 2020 World Culinary Olympics in Stuttgart, Germany. SSG Poe was also named the American Culinary Federation (ACF) Pastry Chef of the Year in 2019.</p>
<p>SSG Poe shares her healthy fall recipes with the American public, discuss how the “Go for Green” program provides for the well-being of Army Soldiers, along with great ideas for home chefs who are looking to bring healthy, tasty options to the table this season – for football games, family dinners, and beyond.</p>

</div>
<div>
<p>The ritual choral chanting of Japanese Buddhist scripture known as <em>shomyo</em>  boasts a history of over 1300 years, placing it alongside Gregorian chant as among the world&#8217;s oldest continually performed musical forms. <em>Shomyo </em>(literally meaning &#8220;voice clarity&#8221;) is believed to have originated in India before traveling along the Silk Road and entering Japan in the sixth century, where it has been practiced ever since. Seldom heard outside of Buddhist temples, live performances of <em>shomyo</em> in the Western world by traditional practitioners are noteworthy.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><em><b>Shomyo no Kai</b></em><strong> &#8211; Voices of a Thousand Years</strong> comprises priests from two of Japan&#8217;s major Buddhist sects, the Shingon and Tendai sects. With a mission to preserve and develop the art of <em>shomyo</em>, the group has been actively performing this song form for over twenty years to audiences in concert halls across the world. The group, originally called <em>Shomyo Yonin no Kai</em>, was founded in 1997 by modern <em>shomyo</em> pioneers Rev. Yusho Kojima and Rev. Kojun Arai (Shingon sect) and Rev. Koshin Ebihara and Rev. Jiko Kyoto (Tendai sect). On March 6, <em>Shomyo no Kai</em> &#8211; Voices of a Thousand Years will perform the North American premiere of the contemporary <em>shomyo</em> work <em>Life in an Autumn</em>, written by New York and Tokyo-based composer <strong>Ushio Torikai</strong>. Clad in brightly colored monastic robes, the choir alternates between monotone stillness and ecstatic polyphony. The ethereal voices of <em>Shomyo no Kai</em> swell in powerful harmony, enrapturing the listener into a transcendent meditative state. Set in the exceptional acoustics and grand sacred space of St. Bartholomew&#8217;s Church, this concert offers a rare opportunity to hear these ancient ritual songs come to vibrant life.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Borrowing some of its text from a Japanese translation of American poet Nancy Wood&#8217;s interpretation of Native American healing prayers, Torikai&#8217;s <em>Life in an Autumn</em> is a modern meditation on mortality, inspired by the tragic events of September 11th, 2001. The piece premiered in 2002 in Japan and was restaged in Tokyo in 2012 as a requiem for the victims of Japan&#8217;s March 11 earthquake and tsunami. &#8220;Since September 11, 2001, I have been preoccupied with thoughts about the nature of human life, of ethnicity and of human civilization,&#8221; says Torikai. &#8220;Music and religion in particular are very closely related. Music constitutes the ethnic identity of people all over the world,  an expression of the beauty of wonderfully varied lives. Religious music is the most positive eulogy of life.&#8221; With <em>Life in an Autumn</em>, now to be performed around the third anniversary of the 3/11 Japanese disaster, Torikai and <em>Shomyo no Kai</em> present a palliative prayer that is at once contemporary and immemorial, superseding the dividing lines of Christianity and Buddhism, American or Japanese, natural or manmade disaster.</p>
<p>On the day of the performance, composer Ushio Torikai will lead a pre-performance lecture on the history and musical form of <em>shomyo</em> at St. Bart&#8217;s Chapel one hour before the performance. This lecture is free and open to <em>Shomyo no Kai</em> ticket holders but is limited to only the first 120 attendees; first come, first served.</p>

<p>Japan Society invites two experts in the field of Buddhist teaching and <em>shomyo</em> for a special discussion and staged demonstration at<strong> Japan Society </strong>on<strong> Tuesday March 4th at 6:30pm</strong>. Columbia University<strong>Professor Robert A.F. Thurman</strong>, a leading American expert on Tibetan Buddhism and the first Westerner to be ordained a Tibetan Buddhist monk by H.H. the Dalai Lama, has been instrumental in popularizing the Buddha&#8217;s teachings in the West. In this lecture, Prof. Thurman explores connections between Japanese and Indo-Tibetan Buddhism and joins in a discussion with <strong>Kojun Arai</strong>, priest of Japan&#8217;s Shingon Buddhist sect and leading member of <em>Shomyo no Kai</em> &#8211; Voices of a Thousand Years, which culminates with an on-stage demonstration of what is considered one of the oldest forms of vocal music. Tickets to this lecture are available through the Japan Society website:</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES</span></strong></p>
<p><em><b>Shomyo no Kai</b></em><strong> &#8211; Voices of a Thousand Years</strong> actively presents traditional <em>shomyo</em> performances to audiences at such prestigious venues as the National Theatre of Japan. <em>Shomyo no Kai</em> is one of the field&#8217;s predominant performers of contemporary <em>shomyo</em> works, regularly premiering pieces written for the group by leading Japanese composers such as Yuji Takahashi&#8217;s <em>Ooinaru Shi no Monogatari</em>, Atsuhiko Gondai&#8217;s<em>Sacred Fire/Sacred Light</em>, Rikuya Terashima&#8217;s <em>Muichimotsu no Sho &#8211; Ryokan ni Yosete</em>, Mamoru Fujieda&#8217;s <em>Wind Chant and Night Chant</em>, and Kazuo Kikkawa&#8217;s <em>Rongi Grand Vegetarian Festival</em>. These contemporary works have been introduced under The Spiral Shomyo Concert Series at Tokyo&#8217;s foremost contemporary arts center, Spiral Hall, since 1998, directed by Director of the National Theatre of Japan Hiromi Tamuro and produced by Junko Hanamitsu of Kaibun-sha. Last year, this series celebrated its 20th concert. <em>Shomyo no Kai</em> &#8211; Voices of a Thousand Years has released CDs (produced by Japan Traditional Cultures Foundation) featuring <em>A UN</em> and <em>Life in an Autumn</em>, both compositions by Ushio Torikai.</p>
<p><strong>Ushio Torikai (composer) </strong>is known for her highly individual musical voice, developed over many years of research and compositional experience in diverse musical fields including European classical music, traditional Japanese music, ancient Japanese music and computer/electronics. Torikai began a concert series of her own music in 1979 in Tokyo, and was invited to the Paris Biennale in 1982. Her music has been presented in major cities in Europe, North America and Japan, including at Georges Pompidou Center (Paris), the Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco) and Walker Art Center (Minneapolis). Her compositions vary considerably in instrumentation, ranging from Western orchestral instruments to traditional Japanese ones; computer/electronics to reconstructed ancient Asian instruments; and Western Choir to Japanese Buddhist monks&#8217; chants. Torikai has received commissions from Ensemble Modern (Frankfurt), the Modern Art Sextet Berlin, the City of Los Angeles, the Kronos Quartet, the Ensemble Continuum (New York), the Canadian Electronic Ensemble, the Japan Broadcasting Corporation and The National Theatre of Japan, to name a few. Commissioned pieces range from works for concert music and opera to a permanent music installation in a public park. Her career is also characterized by a diversity of multidisciplinary collaborative activity. She has a long history of involvement as composer, in theater, in dance and in multi-media projects. The New York Times wrote &#8220;Torikai has a wide ranging musical imagination&#8230;.[Her] music was spectacular, exuberant, radical and dense.&#8221; She occasionally writes about Japanese social phenomena for Japanese newspapers and magazines. Currently Ms. Torikai is working on a composition <em>Remember for Solo Baritone and Full Orchestra</em>, dedicated to the fallen soldiers. She divides her time between New York and Japan.</p>

<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ABOUT JAPAN SOCIETY + THE PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAM</span></b></p>
<p>Founded in 1907, Japan Society is a world-class, multidisciplinary hub for both English and Japanese-speaking artists and audiences.  At the Society, more than 100 events each year feature sophisticated, topically relevant presentations of Japanese art and culture and open, critical dialogue on issues of vital importance to the U.S., Japan and East Asia. An American nonprofit, nonpolitical organization, the Society cultivates a constructive, resonant and dynamic relationship between the people of the U.S. and Japan.</p>
<div>
<p>Since its inception, Japan Society&#8217;s Performing Arts Program has presented well over 600 events of the finest Japanese theater, dance, and music from the most stunningly preserved traditional to the genre busting cutting-edge. Today the program continues to push boundaries, educate and make creative visions come to life by presenting and touring works by leading international artists, promoting cross-cultural exchanges, commissioning new works and coordinating artist residencies and public programs.  Beginning with its first ambitious presentation in 1953 at Columbia University, the Society has shared the unique arts and culture of Japan with U.S. audiences. In 1957, the Program began actively presenting Japanese musicians of both Eastern and Western traditions through concerts at schools and leading New York City venues. In the years to follow, programs such as <em>gagaku</em> Imperial Court music (1959) and the NY premiere of <em>bunraku</em> (1966) were among Americans&#8217; first tastes of the traditional performing arts of Japan.<br />
In 1971, the completion of the Society&#8217;s building (landmarked in 2011) at the current location gave the program a permanent stage of its own and opened its doors for year-round presentations. The space was inaugurated with a concert by the Tokyo String Quartet. Subsequent breakthrough presentations include Awaji Puppet Theater (1971); Eiko &amp; Koma U.S. debut (1976); a two-week-long run of <em>Grand Kabuki (</em>1982) at the Metropolitan Opera House; Tadashi Suzuki&#8217;s <em>The Trojan Women/The Bacchae</em> (1982); and Sankai Juku (1990) at New York City Center. In 1992, a major donation from the Lila Acheson Wallace/Japan Society Fund enhanced the Society&#8217;s auditorium, enabling the Program to vastly expand its offerings. Highlights in the years following include Yamabushi Kagura (1994); Toru Takemitsu&#8217;s memorial concert (1996); Seinendan Theater Company U.S. debut (2000); and Mansaku-no-Kai Kyogen Company (2003), to name a few.  In 2006, an exclusive Performing Arts Program endowment was established through a matching grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, allowing the Program to increase the frequency and scale of its commissions to non-Japanese artists for the creation of new works inspired by the culture of Japan. In addition, the Program has collaborated with world-class cultural organizations such as Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Public Theater, BAM and the Guggenheim Museum; and the Program&#8217;s leadership role in Society-produced North-American tours of Japanese performing artists has earned it recognition among presenters around the world.</p>

<p>Summer may be over but a new season is here filled with new experiences……</p>
<p>What are the 2013 Fall travel trends?</p>
<p>Bike riding-winery tours and apple-picking through beautiful country roads or Leaf-Peeping (fall foliage) in the Northern Georgia Mountains or around the lakes of New Hampshire sounds awesome!! But don’t fall for the wrong deals!! And use common sense when mapping out the road ahead for a stress free travel experience!!</p>
<p>Stephanie Oswald, national travel expert and editor-in-chief of TravelGirl Magazine, is available for live interviews to sort through the best deals and the most satisfying experiences this Fall! She will discuss everything from best time for a Fall vacation, how to get the best deals, what items should be on your travel checklist, how to choose the best accommodations, ways to circumvent the latest challenges in Fall travel and the latest travel trends.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Stephanie is available to discuss</strong></span>:</p>
<p>• <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Do Your Research</em></span>: planning a last minute trip means doing your homework This is a great time to travel as there are smaller crowds and deals to be had now that the summer family travel season has ended.</p>
<p>• <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Look out for deals</em></span>: sign up for e-mail deals with your preferred airline Do your research online, but then call the hotel, resort or cruise line that you are interested in – they may have some really last minute specials that will make you even happier.</p>
<p>• Fall Travel Checklist Check the tourism board websites for cities or attractions near you — many have fall festivals that can make an autumn escape even greater!</p>
<p>* Road Trip Planning Tips: Before You Go and On The Road If you’re taking a road trip, plan for rush hours as you drive. Whenever possible, try to leave a little earlier or a little later than everyone else. If you have two drivers in your vehicle, pace yourselves (and your sleep schedule) so you can make better time.</p>
<p>• AAA, AARP and other travel sites have great advice for leaf-peeping destinations and ideas for fall travel. Make sure any clubs you belong to have your current information so that you receive any printable coupons or deal alerts.</p>
<p>• <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Be a healthy and smart traveler</span>: Always pack a healthy snack such as a granola bar or dried fruits. When you’re at your destination, maintain healthy habits – just because you’re on holiday doesn’t mean the kids can fill up on sugar and soda pop. Stick with healthy juices and drink plenty of water.</p>
<p>• Find a fitness escape that travels with you. Whether it’s yoga, running, or swimming in a hotel pool, plan for time to keep your routine. And if you have special music that motives you, be sure it’s handy on your iPod.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the Editor-in-Chief of travelgirl magazine, a Web Correspondent for The Weather Channel, and seasoned travel correspondent for CNN, she has reported on everything from stress-relieving spa treatments and unique escapes around the world to the human side of a hurricane. She is the co-founder of travelgirl &#8212; the first national travel magazine to launch after the events of 9/11.

Leviticus Gory, robert Conton: Blue Haze Over New York CD Track Listing</p>
<p>Leviticus Gory, robert Conton Blue Haze Over New York<br />
Bought from two musicians on the 57th Street/Broadway Station (N,R,W Lines). These gentlemen seemed possibly homeless but I paid $20 for two CD&#8217;s (the other one is called &#8220;Pumpkins 1-15-06&#8221;). CD contains only 5 tracks although the cover clims a sixth&#8230; (Missing song based on the cover is &#8220;Bye,Bye Blackbird&#8221;)<br />
This jazz cd contains 5 tracks and runs 24min 15sec.<br />
