Set your own hourly rate and earn up to $800 in cash while having fun and being pampered.
Travel to exotic places in the USA and oversees, all expenses paid for - including spending money
Meet new and exciting friends that are well connected to various high profile companies.
Become a Star companion. The potential to earn money and travel the world is unlimited.
We are seeking straight, bisexual and lesbian female escorts across the USA to accompany wealthy clients to various events, including weekends and holidays abroad.
Straight, Gay and Bisexual escorts are in high demand in all states nationwide! Sign up today and you could earn good money while having fun.
The number one requirement is Companionship. That means you will accompany clients as their companion to various events such as dinner dates, weddings, bowling, picnics, theatre, clubs, bars, parks, holidays, business functions and other red carpet social events. Some of our clients simply want companionship for an evening.
There is no ideal type of person when it comes to being a great escort. People of all backgrounds, ages, cultures and religions are welcome. We do expect you to be polite, kind, attentive and courteous at all times - after all the client is paying for your company, so it is important to always put their needs first during a booking.
This depends on the quality of your profile; how well you have written it and how well you present yourself in your pictures. You don't need to be Beyonce, but you do need to take each occasion into consideration and dress appropriately - clients are more attracted to classy escorts who take time to look their best. Once you go on a few dates and get some positive feedback, this will help raise your profile. Availability is another key factor. Evenings and weekends are when clients are available to book escorts online - so try to make yourself as available as possible. Finally location helps - large cities are more popular as they offer a wider variety of entertainment to enjoy companionship. The more cities/states you can get to - the more attention your profile will attract..
Once you have sent us your details and finalised your sign up, your profile will be live within 24 hours. Clients can browse the escort profiles for free. Clients will then use whatever contact details you provided to get in touch with you to arrange a booking.
The client will inform you when he or she makes contact. Generally smart/casual/classy works well for most social events. Always ask the client what their preference is.
This is entirely up to you. You can set your own rate from as little as $10 to as high as $1000 or more. This depends on the occasion and the amount of time the client requires. It's important to price yourself correctly as setting your price too high may mean you miss out on bookings, likewise you don't want to sell yourself too short. A good rule of thumb is to talk to the client first and then agree on a price.
The client will cover all expenses, food, drink, tickets or any costs resulting from the date. You are responsible for the cost of getting yourself to and from the date - how you do that is entirely up to you.
Your privacy is very important to us. Dukes of Daisy is an independent agency and we are in no way affiliated to any other companies. The only contact details we require from you is a valid e-mail address to which your booking requests will be sent. None of your details will be passed on to anyone under any circumstances. You can have your profile removed immediately at anytime upon your request.
Yes our sign up fees are very straight forward and fair. The fee structure is as follows:
$60 for 3 months
$80 for 6 months (save $40 off 3 month price)
$120 for 1 year (save $40 off 6 month price)
Once you sign up you keep 100% of any money you make!
Unlike many other escort agencies we do not make any profit from your bookings. We believe that you are doing all the hard work therefore you deserve all the rewards. We do incur charges for hosting the website, marketing the site and admin fees. That's why we need to charge a small fee in order to keep new clients coming to the site and cover the cost of administration when creating profiles.
We will never intentionally share any of your details with anyone and will never inform anyone that you are part of our website. Your profile will appear on our site, and will be accessible to those seeking companionship we won't put it anywhere else.
No. All of your earnings are cash in hand and classed as self-employed. It will be your responsibility to pay tax on your earnings, we will not notify IRA that you are on our site. It is entirely your responsibility to declare any earnings and pay any taxes due.
No, we are a non-sexual escort agency and our clients are paying for companionship only. Our escorts do not offer sexual services or "extras". However it is not uncommon for a wealthy client and an escort to develop feelings for each other and begin an intimate relationship outside of this agreement where no money exchanges hands for sexual services.
There are many benefits of using our service over any other:
We do not take a percentage of your earnings unlike other escorting sites.
We actively promote our website so that it is found on search engines by clients.
You get to speak to clients directly before you go on bookings.
We protect your privacy and you can sign up using a different name.
Our prices are lower than all our competitors as of writing this.
We offer help and advice on setting up a profile.
You get to interact with a real person from our admin team.
Dukes of Daisy was founded by Daisy Lain. After using escort agencies herself and experiencing the many satisfying benefits. Daisy decided to setup her own escort agency

you go to [ride] with the [parts] you have, not the [parts] you might want or wish to have at a later time
Much like my last entry, this post has a moderately clever title which overstates the case while paraphrasing a famous/infamous quote. What followed in my prior post was a description of an event and the equipment which was involved in the event. No further aspersions were cast outside of the title. If I wanted to "dis" White industries the title would have read "Cheap, Light, won't disintegrate (and dump you on your head in the middle of an intersection) Pick ONE". Because those chainrings aren't cheap. Now that would have been harsh.
Sorry if the title of my post offended, it was meant to be silly. As far as the idea that I shouldn't have even written about what happened...that's ridiculous.
When Donald Rumsfeld uttered the statement which I chopped up and recycled into the title of this post he was criticizing soldiers who came forward and brought attention to serious flaws with the equipment they were using in Iraq. I think people should know that they should check their White chainrings for stress cracks at the spider. Silence equals Death! Or serious injury...or near serious injury anyway. No further questions!
Until I get my new chainring from White (which was warrantied, no questions asked) I'll be running the Truvativ cranks from my Rig. I had to cobble things together just to get home the other night, single speed chainring bolts were unavailable and time was short, so I ended up with this thing of beauty:
Hey Sweet Fixie kids, this is where it's at, the "Too Small Bash Guard Look", it's about as functional as a top tube pad. Do it. Beats the hell out of how I got to work. Had to space my 105 cranks out 3mm to the right to get the chainring to clear the chainstay. Damn 135mm spaced 'Cross bike. Don't try this at home, it is bad mechanically because there is very little spline engagement on the left side crank, and bad bio-mechanically because you are off center over the pedals. Bad.
Me and my bike actually went out for a ride other than a commute. I bugged out for a lunch time ride, taking advantage of the warm weather (40°) and the deadness of the shop. Took a photo of me eating a banana, unintentionally using a McMansion construction blight, uh I mean site as a backdrop. Later I saw it as a visual metaphor.
Some people are "good" consumers, they buy lots of big, expensive cars, and big,
ugly houses with lots of useless space to heat. They can afford to do that, or maybe they can't and that's why America's credit card debt dwarfs the national debt. I can't afford to buy houses and cars with four DVD players in them but I can afford bananas, so I buy and consume bananas. Big, ugly houses have very little potassium in them (unless they have a bowl of bananas in the kitchen) if you were in a bike race and you tried to eat a McMansion your muscles would cramp and I'd beat you.
I think that my form of consumption is superior. Call me crazy, just don't call me late for dinner...especially if we're having "Monkey" (a hybrid of a Monkey and a Donkey, much tastier than "Donkey", a hybrid of a Donkey and a Monkey).

Hello from the Northeast corner of Alabama. My name is Renee Scott and I am a blessed second grade teacher at Caldwell Elementary. I have had the privilege to complete my student teaching, serve as an instructional assistant, fill a sick-leave, teach an after-school program, and be self-contained in second, third, and fourth grade at the same school. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a "Cool Cat" teacher since 1997. I look forward to meeting the challenges and rewards of education for many more years!
I am a wife to a wonderful husband, and I am also a mother of two children that keep me very busy. Most days you will find me at the high school band field helping with uniform fittings, fundraisers, and/or concessions, or you may find me in the basketball gym delivering pre-game meals, keeping the score book, or performing duties as a Tip-Off Club member. If not in one of those places, you will find me at the baseball field cheering on my left handed pitcher, or waiting for a piano lesson to end.
I am very involved in my community. I help with numerous civic and religious organizations. I participate in activities hosted by CASA and The Salvation Army, I take my students to the nursing homes to share songs and laughter, and I am actively involved in church and choir.
While my hobbies and interest include outdoor activities, crafts, and music, I am conscientious to utilize these talents that God has blessed me with for the enjoyment and betterment of others. I truly love to help those in need and to make days brighter for those who need a smile. My personal goal not only as an educator, but also an individual is to instill in the students that I teach how important it is to give to others. Giving comes in time, talents, works, and money. Each year I involve my students in community events that allow them to give and understand how they are receiving a gift at the same time.
I have received Teacher of the Year through nominations from my colleagues, and I have also received Teacher of the Year through the American Legion for the Jackson County Region. While I am honored by these awards, the truest compliment comes when I see students that I taught become productive citizens in our world.
Philosophy of Education
My philosophy of education has a strong foundation based on famous educational philosophers, teaching experiences, and daily examples of educators who define the word education. I feel my philosophy is developed from the style of teaching that I implement into the classroom. I feel my style of teaching is similar to John Dewey, Maria Montessori, and John Locke. I teach my students the importance of engagement, motivation, and openness to learning. I keep a watchful eye, an open ear, and I observe other educators as they lead their students in these areas. This helps me to incorporate my ideas and the ideas of my colleagues to build my students' confidence, character, and academic success. I lend an extended hand to let my students know that I am near, yet not just pulling them along. I let my students learn about themselves, their abilities, their challenges, and their accomplishments. I provide a classroom environment that accepts my students at their individual stage of learning. I implement motivations through hands-on teaching, movement, music, and character building. I let my students know I care about every aspect of their lives, and I build lasting relationships that extend past the school year. I have found that as I teach, I also continue to learn.
When comparing my teaching to a famous philosophy, the first name that comes to mind is John Dewey. Dewey felt a student learned from an experience that incorporates the life of the child. This is defined as Pragmatism. Dewey also felt a student's environment exposed a student to his style and quality of learning. The thought here is a child-focused approach to teaching. Dewey's philosophy was determined to be a movement of Progressive Education. Even today, I feel this practice is important, and I incorporate Progressive Education in my style of teaching. I use the environment and an interdisciplinary approach to provide my students an individual ownership of their educational experiences. I also provide a democratic classroom that encourages my students to deeply explore their learning. I provide ample opportunities for students to be fully engaged in their learning through hands-on experiences. Therefore, I feel I exercise pragmatism as a teacher.
A second philosopher that I feel a connection to is Maria Montessori. Montessori believed in an Intellectual Development Theory. This theory is child-centered. It develops the child physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. The process is divided into three stages: early childhood, elementary, and adolescence. Montessori was considered to be a constructivist due to her strong belief of students working with manipulatives to self-explore within reason. While Montessori did feel there were stages to learning, she did not feel everyone learned at the same pace. She also did not feel cognitive milestones were met due to age. Montessori did believe there was a triangle to learning. She felt the child was the center of learning, the environment sparked natural curiosity of learning, and the teacher was the facilitator. When thinking about Montessori's beliefs and comparing it to my style of teaching, I see how I focus on the student and not the grade level. I feel it is my job to meet all students where they are in their stage of learning. I pride myself on differentiated instruction and the use of manipulatives in my classroom. I must encourage my students as a facilitator, and I must be a model of good character. I am very fond of Maria Montessori's theory of student learning.
My philosophy of education also involves some of the beliefs of John Locke. He felt children should enjoy their learning, but not feel burdened. He thought children should not be hindered during play, should have no demands that cause a feeling of confinement, and should have limited distractions. Locke thought education prepared one to become a good citizen. Locke also thought it was important for one to learn a manual skill in order to develop self-discipline. Locke thought self-discipline was taught through building self-worth. I see validity in this thought. I feel punishment does not always have a
successful impact on students. Many times rules are developed more for the teachers instead of what will be a positive impact for the students. My thought is differentiated instruction is a must to meet the needs of students, both academically and behaviorally, which I feel eliminates behavior issues most of the time. The most profound thought of Locke is that children should learn through motivation and not by force. I agree with Locke in that children learn best when a desire and level of enjoyment are present. In my teaching, I have found the hands-on approach facilitates more enjoyment for my students. This has been in the form of games, songs, plays, scavenger hunts, and/or peer taught lessons. By using these, I see my students having a desire to accomplish an educational task to its fullest. The implementation of Problem Based Learning mimics Locke's belief of building knowledge through experience, allowing students to have ownership of learning, working hands-on, and learning in an environment with few limitations. I feel this approach easily stimulates motivation and redirects unwarranted behaviors. I concur with Locke that students who share a partnership in learning will be more successful.
While the philosophies of Dewey, Montessori, and Locke hold a commonality with my beliefs of allowing students to grow through experience, thought, and having a personal voice, I hold another person's philosophy as having merit. No one will ever read about her in a book, Google her on the web, or discuss here in Foundations of Education. This person's philosophy is my driving force in seeing the classroom through the eyes of a child. She said, "There will always be new ways to teach reading, writing, and arithmetic; but in the end, it is still reading, writing, and arithmetic." "You must make sure the child has the best day of his/her life while at school, because you have no idea what you are sending the child home to." These words are from a school teacher who taught in a one room school house, who didn't receive a salary during the war years, who taught elementary and high school, who taught about life, work, God, and building good character, a teacher who was far ahead of her time in allowing students to experience and hold self-ownership of their education, a teacher who taught by example, and a lady who holds the name, Grandmother, to me. My love for teaching, and the reason behind the smile on my face each morning I step into the classroom, I owe to Jane Elmira Turner. Her philosophy allows me to be open to the needs of my students, while practicing many of the principles I share with famous philosophers, whose educational practices allow students to become productive citizens. My wish is to always have a love and desire for teaching.

We are what we always were in Salem, but now the little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law! This warrant's vengeance!

Reefing lines for FS
Hello all,
Our fleet of Flying Scots are equipt with Intensity Sails.
I want to replace some of the reefing lines but wanted to know what most FS use.
I wrote to Intensity Sails and so far they said a 6mm line should do the trick but I cannot get how much reefing line I should use for each when reefed in the following manner:
lower the mainsail to the reefing grommets and tie reefin knots loosley underneath.
I am looking for the manuf. suggested length of 6mm or BEST PRACTIVE out there.
Ask the sailmaker
Submitted by sawyerspadre on Wed, 09/25/2013 - 01:32.
Intensity should be able to tell you based on their design. I would imagine the number and position of grommets matters.
Phil Scheetz

This was one of my favorite flash fiction challenges: write a horror story in three sentences. You have to get to the point in a hurry, and every word and piece of punctuation matters. I didn't win, but I still like mine very much. To see more, slide on up in here: Chuck Wendig's Flash Fiction Challenge: Scary Story in Three Sentences
Timmy cowered under his bed because there were no monsters there–not anymore. Although he was holding his head tightly under a pillow, he could still hear the screams of his family, and he could feel the percussion of things–just unimaginable things–wetly thudding to the floor. His own door opened with a rush, and when he heard the guttural, inhuman voice say, "Fresh meat," he could sense it was salivating…but he was unable to pee his jammies any more than he already had.

This is another in the series of flash fiction from Chuck Wendig's site "Terrible Minds." The theme this week was to write a thousand words about a brand new monster. Being a monster is all about the state of mind.
To see more, catch a wave and surf over here:
Chuck Wendig's Flash Fiction Challenge: A Brand New Monster
The monster sat on the bench at the playground. Its nestling frolicked and played with the human children, carefully controlled by the monster. It didn't want its nestling to reveal itself; that was the point of this training exercise. You have to know how to act around them.
The monster reflected about her mentor. It taught her the history of their people, and how often they lived among the humans, but could never be one of them. At least their penchant for violence was a smooth cover for a monster's survival. Its mentor had died in prison, finally being caught. It happens to monsters as they age, and get more brazen. All those tiny bodies—
It was still young when her teacher was captured, and it was easy to play the victim. Twenty years later, no one remembered who it was. A different kind of monster.
It was broken from its thoughts when Sally took the nestling's toy. The creature didn't cry or react in anyway. Sally's over-protective mother stepped in, apologizing. She made Sally apologize also. Bobby was unfazed. Instead, it watched, and plotted.
Later at the top of the jungle gym, all was forgotten. Bobby and Sally were playing. "Go ahead, jump."
"No, you jump."
"You jump first."
"Are you a scaredy-cat?"
When the ambulance came to take Sally away with a piece of rusted metal through her foot, the monster and her nestling were long gone, leaving when the crowd gathered.
Things had gone better than it had expected.
The monster, Mrs. Walker, looked down at her spawn and created a smile on its face. This is what a mother would do, it thought. You were such a good boy, today, Bobby.
The child-creature looked up, did not speak. The words were projected. Can I play with my toy when we get home?
The monster responded in kind. No, you broke that one, remember? We'll get a new one.
The nestling clapped and squealed, the way it had been taught that a four year old would react. But it was genuinely happy. A new toy–
Amy was dropped off at the Walker's by her boyfriend Trevor. Excellent, the monster thought, as she pursed her lips in disapproval. When Amy appeared at the door, Mrs. Walker stood waiting. "Amy, I know your mother doesn't like you to be with that boy. He's a bad seed."
Amy scoffed and rolled her eyes.
The monster reveled in the energy of Amy's rebellion. It felt soothing as she absorbed it. Pretending to dismiss it, Mrs. Walker said, "Well, I'm off to work now. Bobby is in the family room, in the basement."
Amy went through the hall and down the steps. The monster heard Amy's footsteps, and heard them stop. It heard the clicking of the light switch, and an annoyed groan from Amy.
"Bobby? Mrs. Walker, the light's out in the basement. Mrs. Walker?"
The footsteps revealed that Amy was proceeding down the steps slowly. Saliva dripped from the monster's lips even though it remained hidden, waiting.
"Bobby? Where are you? It's Amy!"
The monster heard a thump, and Amy cried out. Then she screamed. Mrs. Walker ran down the steps and pulled the cord for the light. She was so proud at what she saw. Her little spawn captured its prey, all on its own.
Amy was in hell. She had no idea how it could get worse. This little maniac four-year old brat was stronger than he looked, and a devious bastard! She was tied up, sitting on the floor against the wall. That's all she knew because she was blindfolded. She was gagged, and couldn't scream out. She started to struggle furiously.
The nestling had been taught to wait until the prey regained consciousness. The struggling was its cue. Amy's body stiffened and she screamed against her gag as she felt the searing pain in her toes. Oh God oh God oh God oh God ooohhh what is happening to me?
Her eyes were uncovered and she saw little Bobby's face right in front of hers. His eyes gleamed and his mouth was covered in blood. He grinned, revealing her toes.
Mrs. Walker stepped up as Amy passed out. That's all for now, young one.
She felt the nestling protest. Now, now. You know the rules. They have to be awake when we eat them.
She carefully treated the unconscious girl's wounds to keep them from getting infected. Nothing was worse than the taste of infection. Right up there on the list was the liver of an old buck, like that homeless man they had last month. Remember that one? the monster thought.
Bobby giggled at that. He was a scaredy-cat.
The monster had told the police that Amy never showed up to babysit. Trevor's testimony was in dispute, because he claimed to have dropped her off. But Trevor was a bad seed–a troubled kid from a broken family. He had a record, including drugs and some violence. Who was more believable, the bad kid, or the pillar of the community–Mrs. Walker–that had introduced them in the first place?
Besides, the only power the monster actually had was the ability to manipulate what others thought. She turned the investigation toward Trevor.
For the next few weeks, Amy learned exactly how her situation could get worse. Slowly, she was eaten alive.
Before Amy died, Trevor had hung himself in jail while awaiting trial. Mrs. Walker wished she had some influence in making that happen, but he did it on his own.
There wasn't much left of the arms or legs, so Mrs. Walker and her child were naked, rolling in blood, as they dined on the rib meat of Amy.
Out loud, she told Bobby what happened, so that Amy could hear. Amy's eyes had glazed over—there was no more feeling left in them, just hysterical disbelief.
The tiny creature cackled and got in Amy's face and taunted her. "Scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat!"

If the debtor does not pay the debt or try to negotiate within 21 days of being served with a Final Notice of Claim (Form 1A) or letter of demand you can begin formal legal action. You must allow the debtor 21 day to respond before initiating any court action otherwise you will not be able to claim any costs if you win.
Step 1:
Fill out a Minor Civil Claim (Form 3), which you can get from the Registry or from the Magistrates Court website online (click here) and lodge it with the Registry. You will need four copies of the Claim. A fee is required to lodge the form.
Step 2:
Serve the claim on the defendant:
- The court can post the claim for you – there is no fee for this and it is the most usual way of serving the claim.
- If there is some doubt about whether the debtor is at the address on the claim, you can deliver the claim personally or have a Sheriff's Officer serve the claim for you. To have a Sheriff's Officer serve the claim for you, you will have to pay a fee.
- If you serve the claim yourself, you must attach a multilingual notice (Form 17).
- After serving the claim you must also fill out and file with the Registry the proof of service form (on the back of one of the copies of the claim form), explaining how you served the claim.

The Universities UK report says a burgeoning student population can offer many benefits to the surrounding area.
However, it can also bring increased incidences of anti-social behaviour and excessive pressure on housing.
The report sets out "best-practice" guidelines on how universities can build relations with the community.
The report, Studentification: A Guide to Opportunities, Challenges and Practice, acknowledges that students tend to live in concentrated areas after leaving their halls of residence.
This can bring economic and social benefits but there also areas of conflict.
Queen's University in Belfast recently announced a crackdown on student behaviour following complaints of noisy late-night parties, rowdy drunkenness and vandalism.
Six universities - Brighton, Canterbury, Leeds, Loughborough, Salford and Nottingham - were used as case studies for the report.
Each has sought to tackle any potential friction arising from a large, transient population of students living alongside permanent residents.
At Loughborough, matters came to a head in 2002 when the university put in a planning application to extend a hall of residence.
The plan was rejected after local residents objected and later produced a CD of noisy students to highlight the problems they faced.
Alison Barlow, the university's Community Relations Officer, said students must now sign a code of conduct which gives the university the power to take action if they misbehave off-campus.
The university now has two community wardens. These full-time members of university staff give advice to students and also act as a point of contact for residents.
There is also a 24-hour helpline for residents to call.
"Residents can ring this if there's a problem with, for example, a particularly noisy party," said Ms Barlow. "The head of security then has the power to discipline students."
Discipline usually runs to a fine although the university does have the ultimate power to either expel a student or withhold a degree.
Ms Barlow stressed that the university had a lot of positive things to offer Loughborough.
"We are the town's largest employer and one of the biggest economic contributors to the town."
Ceri Nursaw, is head of Leeds University's city and regional office, and has responsibility for community relations.
She said that in 2000 the university became increasingly aware of discontent among residents in areas such as Headingley, which attracted a large proportion of the city's student population.
Leeds now has a housing strategy developed alongside the city council which is aimed at addressing the problems associated with students living in a concentrated area.
Ms Nursaw added: "We have got 1,000 students going out and volunteering in the community. I know there are some community groups which would find it difficult to function without student volunteers."
Report author Dr Darren Smith, from the University of Brighton, said different strategies would work for different institutions.
He said he hoped universities would take on board the report's "check list" of points of best-practice.
He added that there were many areas in cities including Leeds, Nottingham and Coventry, which had lost large chunks of students and were clamouring for them to return.
"There is an economic aspect but also spin-offs like transport, GP services and a cultural ambience."
The National Union of Students said it welcomed the report's acknowledgement that students can make a positive contribution to the community.
Veronica King, NUS vice-president welfare, said: "We have moved on from the outdated stereotypes of students stealing traffic cones and going on rowdy pub crawls.
"These days students are more likely to be found working behind the bar than in front of it."
Higher Education Minister Bill Rammell said: "The solution to problems between students and local residents is not segregation, but better integration."
Professor Dummond Bone, president of Universities UK, said research showed that inaction and lack of communication in the past had led to friction but institutions were now tackling the issue.
"Rather than ducking the question, universities have become much more proactive about the issues raised by the accommodation of students and are now developing clearly defined strategies to work with established communities," he said.

This section of the Dog Law of 1919 provides that any dog over six months must be registered and wear a collar at all times. It also mandates that female dogs in heat must be kept on their owners' premises or restrained on a leash. The overall leash requirement is less clear, stating that it is unlawful for an owner to allow a dog " to stray unless held properly in leash." This does appear to mandate a statewide leash requirement for dogs, however.
Sec. 2. It shall be unlawful for any person to own any dog 6 months old or over, unless the dog is licensed as hereinafter provided, or to own any dog 6 months old or over that does not at all times wear a collar with a tag approved by the director of agriculture, attached as hereinafter provided, except when engaged in lawful hunting accompanied by its owner or custodian; or for any owner of any female dog to permit the female dog to go beyond the premises of such owner when she is in heat, unless the female dog is held properly in leash; or for any person except the owner or authorized agent, to remove any license tag from a dog; or for any owner to allow any dog, except working dogs such as leader dogs, guard dogs, farm dogs, hunting dogs, and other such dogs, when accompanied by their owner or his authorized agent, while actively engaged in activities for which such dogs are trained, to stray unless held properly in leash.

Interview with Mara McPartland
Photographs on display in the President's Gallery
M: How did you become interested in creating this project?
J: My plan is in photography and environmental studies, and throughout my plan meetings my committee encouraged me to combine the two, to use photography to make a statement. I became interested in waste management because I think that people have some desire to make better decisions about waste and recycling, but that they don't understand the reality of what happens to their waste. Things don't disappear the way that we perceive them to. My idea for this project was to track and document the afterlife of the college's waste.
M: How did do your project, or what was your process?
J: I worked with the college facilities management, and with Tam, our regional waste management company. First I went with them on their route, to see where they collect garbage from the area, and to see what people were consuming. It is a single-stream system, so garbage and recycling go in together and then get sorted into different materials. I went with them to see the trash get sorted. It was interesting to see what gets thrown out by students. There were copies of the New York Times magazine, and a lot of beer and wine bottle and old essays… A lot of what gets put in the recycling is actually not recyclable. Sometimes I think that just having recycling bins right next to trash cans lets people be lazy; they don't make any substantial effort to make sure the right things get put in, and that they are clean.
Over field work term I was in New York City, and I went to the Metropolitan Paper Recycling facility in Brooklyn. It is where the paper from the school is shipped after it is sorted to be made into post-consumer recycled material. The facility is open 24 hours a day, with people standing along a conveyor belt and sorting materials. It was interesting to talk to them. Apparently they can gauge how the economy is doing based on the levels of garbage, and what is thrown away. Basically, when the economy is doing better, there will be a lot more discarded.
Finally, I visited a landfill in Vermont, where non-recyclable materials are buried, and documented that as well. The landfill was only 12,000 square feet large, which is relatively small, and within the coming year they were going to reach capacity and have to close. It was cool because they harvested methane, another by-product of our waste, and re-sold it to households in the region.
M: Do you plan on doing any more work that is related to this project?
J: Not specifically. I would be interested in continuing to document post-consumer materials. For example, a lot of recyclable material gets shipped overseas to be processed and made into new products and then shipped back and sold again in the United States because it is cheaper than doing it here. It would be interesting to document this process as well.

Learn more about the Driver of the No. 1 Chevrolet
Michael Annett returns to the No. 1 Pilot Flying J Chevrolet for JR Motorsports in 2019 after posting a 14th-place points finish in his second season with the team. The 32-year-old Annett logged three top-10 finishes over the season, just missing a second consecutive trip to the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs.
After a three-year stint in the NASCAR Cup Series, Annett came back to the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2017 with JRM, making team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s squad a four-car team for the first time in its history.
Annett is a 12-year veteran of NASCAR, competing in the Cup Series, Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series in that span. He came to JR Motorsports in 2017 after a three-year stint (2014-16) driving the No. 46 Pilot Flying J Chevrolet at the NASCAR Cup Series level for HScott Motorsports.
The Des Moines, Iowa native began his racing career in 2007, competing in the ARCA Racing Series where he found instant success. Annett won the pole for his first ARCA race at Iowa Speedway, his home track. In just 10 ARCA races from 2007 to 2009, Annett amassed two wins (Talladega, Daytona), five top-five and eight top-10 finishes.
In 2008, Bill Davis Racing and Germain Racing gave Annett the opportunity to gain seat time in the Truck and Xfinity Series. From 2009 through 2013, Annett raced full-time in NXS competition with multiple teams including Germain Racing (2009-10), Rusty Wallace Inc. (2011), and Richard Petty Motorsports (2012-13). Before making the jump to the Cup Series, Annett collected seven top-five and 34 top-10 finishes in NXS competition. His most successful year in NXS came in 2012, where he earned six top-five and 17 top-10 finishes en route to a fifth-place effort in the championship standings
Annett's first love was ice hockey, and he advanced quickly through the developmental ranks. By the time he was 16 years old, Annett was playing for Team Illinois, a Triple-A hockey team. In 2004, the Hawkeye native joined the Waterloo (Iowa) Black Hawks, a United States Hockey League (USHL) team. He was awarded the USHL Most Improved Player award in 2004. Due in part to his father Harrold Annett's background as team owner for sprint car legend Sammy Swindell, Annett found the siren song of motorsports too strong to ignore. In 2005, Annett made a full-time transition into the racing world and traded his skates for a fire suit.
Annett resides in Mooresville, N.C. and when not wheeling cars around a race track, enjoys hockey, golf, AMA SuperCross and boating.

When the Spirits Call
On Sunday, November 10, Faie brings to you our latest find, Adrienne Powers. Adrienne's work is not only intriguing and beautiful, it is full of spiritual energy.
Artist Statement
My work focuses on spiritual belief systems of the African Diaspora. The journey started with a novel that mentioned Haitian Voudou coming from West Africa, its origin, African Vodun. This was history that I was unfamiliar with, my knowledge of "Voodoo" (the Western adaptation of the correct name vodun/Voudou/Vodou/Vudu) was based on a Western media-centered and highly inaccurate perspective. This brief encounter with a novel gave birth to the inspiration for my work today.
The hope is to share this rich and very beautiful history through my work. I've chosen to communicate the impact that these spiritualities have had on me through figurative expression, the interpretation of patterns, symbols, texture and color. My inspiration coming from African Vodun, Ifa of the Yoruba, Lucumi of Cuba, Haitian Voudou, New Orleans Voodoo, Hoodoo and Rootwork from the Southern United States, Ancestor Reverence and many other spirit and earth based belief systems. My intent is for the viewer to consider the vibrant energy of the work as it strives to communicate the spiritual richness of the African Diaspora.
Adrienne will present these textured and vibrant mixed media pieces and sacred boxes. This is a show you do not want to miss. Come and collect directly from this artists hand.

Thompson Diabetes Travel Carry-All
I bought this for my 5 year old son to carry around his supplies in school.
I love the size. Big enough to carry everything you could possibly need in an emergency but small enough to not overpower him.
My only complaint is the zipper "tassels" that say myabetic. They are big and clunky. Also, I would of liked to put a Type 1 Diabetes charm on the zipper that held Glucagon. So in the event of an emergency adults aren't fumbling threw looking for it.
The material is nice because it's sturdy and easy to keep clean. However, I tried to "kid" it up by putting stickers on it and the material isn't going to hold them long.
What we carry in it:
-Omnipod Meter/Remote
-Test Strip bottle
-Insulin Vial
- 2 Insulin Pens
-2 4oz juice boxes
-Omnipod extra Pod
-Portable Charger and wire
-Dexcom/Omnipod Overlays
-Alcohol Pads
-Pen Needles
And there's STILL so much room and it's not condensed.
I purchased this bag for my son to take all his supplies to school. It's just perfect, great size, great compartments. Very happy so far!
This case is great, lots of rooms for insulin, meter, test strips, etc. Even room for snacks and trash from strips. The zipper failed after about 18 months. I'm not sure how long zippers typically last but I was hoping to get to at least 2 years. I've had zippers on backpacks that see daily use last much longer.

Gui Boratto Take My Breath Away
While Germany remains the center of the techno universe, Gui Boratto certainly continues to raise […]
While Germany remains the center of the techno universe, Gui Boratto certainly continues to raise the question about exactly where our attention should be focused. Sure, artists like Villalobos and Luciano have previously planted the techno flag for South America, but it's the Brazilian Boratto who is doing something truly different from Europe's entrenched minimal milieu. Take My Breath Away is Boratto's second album, and it continues to explore the same colorful, joyous sounds that littered his widely acclaimed 2007 debut, Chromophobia.
Opening with the title track, Boratto quickly establishes that he hasn't grown gun-shy when it comes to making big, sonorous tunes; "Take My Breath Away" features an ebb and flow of pulsing keys over his meticulously crafted beats. That's followed by "Atomic Soda," which jacks up the intensity even further with its commanding use of fuzzy, distorted synth sounds during the song's crescendos. Audion-soundalike "Ballroom" is another stormer, working the low end of the spectrum before giving way to a warped apex that sounds like a fax machine gone haywire. In a time where artists routinely overload their tracks with similarly blown-out tones, it's incredible to hear how Boratto's music remains silky-smooth, even when the distortion knob is cranked.
Yet Take My Breath Away is much more than a collection of club bangers. "Colors" switches things up with a skittery breakbeat and a relaxed feel, not to mention wave after wave of shining melody. "Les Enfants" is a playful slice of leftfield electronic pop that eschews steady percussion to focus on the interplay of a dizzying number of precisely edited synth sounds. Album closer "Godet" is a sparse, virtually beatless affair that colors a dabbling piano with the soothing hum of radio fuzz, while "Besides" is a downtempo groover that combines bubbling keys with guitar chords that wouldn't have sounded out of place on one of New Order's sunnier efforts.
The album is almost entirely instrumental, save for the stellar "No Turning Back." With vocals provided by Boratto's wife, Luciana Villanovia (who previously stepped up to the mic on Chromophobia's "A Beautiful Life"), the track practically screams "future club anthem." Boratto employs her vocals in a unique fashion, compartmentalizing them into small, pastoral passages, bookended by some of the album's heaviest beats and swarming keys that almost act like some sort of guitar solo. This inversion is a refreshing change of pace, as Boratto has managed to flip the usual quiet-build-into-vocal-climax formula on its head.
Take My Breath Away is a vibrant, kaleidoscopic album, one that sounds and feels jubilant, despite its complex production and incredible attention to detail. Nevertheless, critics may note that it's more of an evolution than a revolution for Boratto, who rarely strays from the blueprint of his past work. Yet in the face of a continuing onslaught of drab, minimal offerings from his colleagues on the other side of the Atlantic, perhaps only minor tinkering was in order. Boratto has staked out his own tract of land within the techno commonwealth—he should be encouraged to keep developing it, especially if the fruit it bears continues to be this sweet.

CINCINNATI, June 24 (UPI) -- Josh Willingham smashed a go-ahead, two-run homer in the ninth inning Sunday, rallying the Minnesota Twins to a 4-3 interleague win over Cincinnati.
The Reds had grabbed a 3-2 lead in the eighth when Wilson Valdez greeted Twins starter Scott Diamond (5-4) with a single and Joey Votto followed by smacking a pitch into the left-field stands.
But the Twins came right back in the ninth against Cincinnati closer Aroldis Chapman (4-4). Joe Mauer lined a double off the left field wall with one out and Willingham then blasted 3-1 into the upper deck in left.
Jeff Burton notched his first career save despite allowing a pair of walks in the ninth as Minnesota claimed the rubber match of a three-game set at Great American Park.
Diamond yielded three runs on eighth hits over eight frames, walking one and striking out seven.
Reds starter Mike Leake (3-5) had held the Twins to two runs on five hits over eight innings.
Valdez also notched an RBI for Cincinnati, which came into the contest leading the National League Central by one game over Pittsburgh.

American Taxpayer Relief Act Reduces Deficits by $737 Billion
By: Jeff Zients
Editorial Note: This post was originally published on the Office of Management and Budget blog.
[Yesterday], the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its score of H.R. 8, the "American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012." By convention, the score measured the effects of this legislation relative to "current law," which assumes the expiration of all of the 2001/2003 tax cuts, cuts to Medicare physicians of almost 27 percent, and allowing the across the board cuts from sequestration to take effect. But that does not provide a realistic perspective on the impact of H.R. 8. The relevant point of comparison isn't current law, it is "current policy" – those policies that were in place on December 31st, the day before all of these changes were scheduled to take effect. Different organizations, ranging from the Bowles-Simpson Fiscal Commission to the House Budget Committee, have considered this current policy baseline to be the appropriate reference point, since it measures changes relative to the status quo, rather than the mix of expiring provisions and policy changes that would likely never be implemented.
CBO also recognizes the value in this "current policy" view and routinely publishes their interpretation, known as the Alternative Fiscal Scenario (AFS), which is regularly cited by lawmakers from both parties, including House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan. The CBO current policy baseline assumes that the Bush tax cuts, the AMT patch, and expiring business tax provisions will be extended; that the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) cuts in payments to Medicare physicians will not take effect; and that the sequestration will be turned off.
Compared to "current policy" and based on estimates from the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation – Congress's official score-keeping bodies – we can see that H.R. 8 would reduce the deficit by $737 billion. Within that, it would reduce spending by $107 billion. The deficit reduction is comprised of:
- $618 billion due to higher taxes on the highest-income Americans and the wealthiest estates.
- $22 billion due to reductions in discretionary spending and a change to tax-preferred savings accounts that pay for turning off sequestration for two months.
- $24 billion in various health measures that pay for turning off the SGR for one year. (Because sequestration and the SGR are turned off in the CBO current policy baseline, these pay-fors reduce deficits relative to that baseline.)
- The above provisions more than offset the $30 billion cost of the measure's one-year extension of emergency unemployment insurance benefits, resulting in $630 billion of net non-interest deficit reduction.
- Another $104 billion of deficit reduction results from lower interest payments on the federal debt, for a total of $737 billion in deficit reduction.
See this table for a more detailed breakdown.
So H.R. 8 not only keeps taxes low for the middle class, asks the wealthiest to pay their fair share, and helps the economy continue to grow, it also reduces the deficit by $737 billion under this more realistic scenario.
Jeff Zients is the Deputy Director for Management in the Office of Management and Budget at the White House.

s t u f f for their birthdays, so I thought I'd make them a slow and eco friendly gift.
I think The Cartoon Dog named Bob looks good in red and pink too. I think I will list some of these tee's up in my shops tomorrow.
By the way, -have you noticed that I've pimped my blog a bit? I wanted to give it a more hand-drawn look. I find it really difficult to get the layout and everything like I want. Why is it so narrow? Why doesn't the images spread more nicely on the whole width of the screen?
What do you think?

Employment positions in higher education
Assistant Professor of Journalism
Asbury University
Wilmore, Kentucky
As I stepped into the van, a sign caught my eye: "Tips are appreciated for excellent service." It wouldn't have caught my eye, except for one thing. The word "excellent" had been scratched out.
I currently teach journalism courses and advise the Collegian student newspaper. Specific accomplishments include:
I led a group of eight students to the 2012 London Olympics, resulting in a Regional Student Emmy for a 60-second news package produced for NBC affiliate LEX 18 in Lexington, Kentucky.
Under my leadership, the Collegian student newspaper has begun to collect national awards. In May 2012, the Collegian competed against the nation's most prestigious journalism programs, and won five national awards from the Society for News Design, including Best Overall Use of Photography.
Under my leadership, the Collegian was invited to host a workshop at the spring 2012 national College Media Association conference in New York City. Topic: redesigning college newspapers to reconnect with campus readership. The CMA conference, attended by thousands of student journalists, hosts panelists from top media outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, and ABC News.
I was chosen by the Asbury University Class of 2010 as an honorary class member.
I revamped journalism curriculum in 2012, reflecting convergent and multimedia journalism. The new major was renamed Journalism and Digital Storytelling.
I encouraged students to create nationally known blogs. One student's blog on newspaper design received national attention from NewsDesigns.com and the American Copy Editors Society.
I created a summer journalism travel course to France, Germany, Austria, and Italy. On the trip, I introduced students to several international journalists, including a war correspondent for the French newspaper Le Monde, a freelancer for The Wall Street Journal, a photographer for the BBC, and a staff writer for an English-language newspaper in Florence, Italy.
I hosted several internationally renowned guest speakers at Asbury, including two Pulitzer-nominated photojournalists, a former panelist for the Pulitzer Prizes, a former producer for CNN, and the world-famous journalist Terry Anderson, who was kidnapped by Hezbollah in the 1980s while working for The Associated Press.
I enlarged the staff of the Collegian student newspaper, adding new multimedia and social media positions.
I received a rating of "excellent" (4/4) from an outside facilitator assigned by the Asbury assessment office during 2010 senior focus group meetings.
I incorporated a 32-page full-color magazine into Editing, Publishing, and Design class. The magazine, distributed to all students during finals week, won national award from the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals.

October 7, 1982, Section D, Page 1Buy Reprints
Stan Janda of nearby Manassas, Va., walked into the Sears, Roebuck & Company store at the Fair Oaks Mall the other day to return an item. Soon, however, he found himself browsing through racks of literature at the store's financial service center, where employees were selling insurance, stocks and bonds, and homes.
But on that day, all Mr. Janda did was browse. Such is the challenge faced by Sears: Can the world's largest retailer interest its traditional shopper in the financial services on which it has staked so much?
Of course, Sears fully expects to succeed. ''We definitely see this as viable in terms of public acceptance,'' said Douglas Fairwether, a Sears spokesman at its Chicago headquarters. ''If anyone was wondering if people will buy stocks where they buy socks, they will. We've seen that.''
About three months ago, Sears opened financial service centers - where consumers can buy auto insurance, sell 100 shares of A.T.& T. or determine the best way to finance a home - in eight of its 851 stores, including the one here. Depending on how this test works out, other such centers could be introduced in the months ahead.
But some financial service competitors have some doubts about the experiment. For example, Jim Settle, senior vice president and director of marketing at Bache Halsey Stuart Shields Inc., said that ''Sears is really emphasizing savings and spending under the same roof.'' He went on: ''But an investor's relation with his stockbroker is a very personal and intimate thing. I'm skeptical, but with a company with their resources, you've got to watch very carefully what they're going to do.''
And Peter Muratore, executive vice president and national retail marketing director at E.F. Hutton & Company, observed, ''Generally our industry is not a walk-in business and it isn't a casual business. I think investments are sold more than bought and I'm not sure that the atmosphere in a department store is conducive to this type of selling. But we hope they do very, very well and we would be happy to do similar things with other people if it is successful.'' Company in Position for Move
The increased interest by Sears in financial services had its genesis at the start of 1982, when the company completed two big acquisitions - taking over Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., a securities broker-dealer, and Coldwell, Banker & Company, a real estate broker, for a total of more than $800 million.
Sears already owned the Allstate Insurance Company - the country's second-largest writer of automobile and homeowner insurance after State Farm Mutual - and thus was positioned to offer one-stop shopping in finance just as it had been doing in general merchandise. While 76 percent of Sears's revenue of $18.2 billion in the first half of 1982 was still derived from its merchandising group, the company now has an important position in three major financial services - insurance, securities and real estate.
''We plan to bring a variety of financial services to American consumers,'' said Charles F. Moran, vice president for corporate planning at Sears. ''What better place to do it than in the place where they are most familiar with you - in the Sears store.''
But Sears is less than loquacious about the results so far of this experiment in selling services. It refuses to disclose any statistics about the number of customers who have visited the centers, the amount of new financial accounts that have been opened or the revenue derived from this expensive square-footage.
''Sometime after the first of the year, we'll be able to put together an evaluation of the data and determine what comes next,'' is all that Mr. Moran will say on this subject. ''But in any event, it is most probable that we would not have a financial service center in every store, because some are small and would not be able to support this kind of unit.'' Vast Potential Market
The marriage of financial services and retailing is not unique to Sears. A number of supermarkets around the country installed automatic teller machines hooked up to local banks some time ago. And just last month, a joint venture was inaugurated between the Kroger Company and the Capital Holding Company to sell such products as insurance, money market funds and individual retirement accounts at some Kroger stores, starting with one in Grove City, Ohio.
At Sears, however, the theory is that everyone in the store is part of one big, happy family, since the parent corporation is selling its own services as well as its own merchandise. And with 24 million active retail accounts and another 12 million catalogue customers, the company feels that the potential market for its financial services is huge. ''The Sears customer is America,'' asserted Mr. Fairwether, the Sears spokesman.
''People can come into a nonmedicinal, nonintimidating atmosphere for their financial services,'' said S. David Whipkey, manager of this 230,000-square-foot, two-level Sears store at the intersection of Route 50 and Interstate 66 in the Washington suburbs. ''And it's not like buying from a street-side vendor, either.''
The financial service center in Mr. Whipkey's store is an area of 1,400 square feet next to the busiest entrance and directly across from the catalogue, credit and customer service departments. Decorated in subdued earth tones, the center is open and informal, shaped in a semicircle and with separate selling alcoves for its three components - Allstate, Dean Witter and Coldwell, Banker.
Like the store itself, the financial service center is open from 10 A.M. to 9:30 P.M. daily and noon to 5 P.M. Sunday - longer by far than most brokerage, insurance and real estate offices operate. Traffic in this service area varies from extremely light, as it was around noon on a recent Tuesday, to heavy, as employees say it is on Friday nights and Saturdays. Initially customers were drawn to the center through targeted promotional mailings offering a free financial planning guide to those who came in, but now business is largely generated from those customers who pass by.
The employees that operate the Dean Witter and Coldwell, Banker booths in the service center rotate on a regular basis from nearby offices of their firms. Allstate workers are assigned to the store on a full-time basis and, like insurance salespeople everywhere, they spend much of their time calling on potential customers at their homes.
''This place is very good for generating leads,'' said Shaun English, a Dean Witter registered representative who works one day a week at the store. ''We've been opening over two new accounts a day.''
Sears people like to tell stories about the unusual business that has developed since the financial service centers opened last July 19. For example, they talk about the couple who came in to open a $2.9 million brokerage account. And they recall the woman who saw a picture of a house in the Coldwell, Banker section of a center and told the representative there that she wanted to buy it - regardless of price or location.

Obscure Trumpet Masters #7 – Bobby Shew
Bobby Shew
"Don't be afraid TO TRY!! Better to explore and discover than to keep your head and mind buried in the sand of tradition (and misinformation). – Bobby Shew
The first time I ever heard a CD, Bobby Shew was playing.
I was working at Macy's in the early 80's, selling rugs. We were located right next to electronics. The audio guys loved to demonstrate this new "digital technology". What better way to do it than with Bobby Shew and Chuck Findley's then new release, Trumpets No End. The stunningly clear sound and the musician's technical mastery made me a fan of Shew (and CDs) for life.
Bobby Shew is a musician's musician. Cats on the scene speak highly of him; his name is listed in the trumpet section of countless recordings; he's still a first call sideman, he is a universally respected clinician and he has also recorded some very impressive work as a leader. But outside of musicians and true jazz cognoscenti, he is unknown.
Born Robert Joratz in Albuquerque, NM in 1941, Bobby Shew began playing the guitar at the age of eight and switched to the trumpet at ten. Paradoxically, for such a renowned educator, Shew is for the most part, self-taught. By the time he was thirteen he was playing at local dances with a number of bands and by fifteen he had put together his own group to play at dances, occasional concerts and in jazz coffee houses. Shew's professional career began when he was in high school; playing as many as six nights a week in a dinner club.
(In the clip below, Bobby Shew trades licks with himself, using a creation he calls the "Shewhorn")
A few years later, Shew joined the Tommy Dorsey ghost band, which led to him being asked to play with Woody Herman in 1965. When Buddy Rich formed his big band the next year, Shew got a call. Many other similar situations followed and Bobby played lead trumpet for a number of pop stars. This brought him to Las Vegas where he became prominent in various hotels and casinos. By this time Bobby was widely known for his strong lead playing rather than as a jazz soloist. So late in 1972 he decided to make a move to the Los Angeles area in order to get re-involved in developing as a jazz player.
Once in LA, Bobby quickly found what he was looking for. In the years to come he spent time with the groups of Art Pepper, Bud Shank, and Horace Silver, plus numerous big bands such as Louis Bellson, Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin, Oliver Nelson, Terry Gibbs, Benny Goodman and Maynard Ferguson.
Telepathy, Bobby's 1978 debut as a leader (at the tender age of 37), happened by accident; a quintet album was to be recorded that day and had to be cancelled, due to scheduling conflicts. Shew and pianist Bill Mays suddenly found themselves alone in the studio with the booked time available. Without a lot of discussion, they chose six standards and created two on the spot improvisations. The result was a fine duet album. Telepathy has never been released on CD, but if you stumble across a copy of the LP, it is worth picking up.
Having just turned 70 on March 4, Bobby Shew (http://www.bobbyshew.com/) is still very active, mostly on the West Coast jazz scene. If you get a chance to hear him live, check him out; or pick up one of the excellent discs below. You'll be glad you did.

5 Responses to "Obscure Trumpet Masters #7 – Bobby Shew"
there you go again. So when you are done educating me about the trumpet, what will be the next instrument?
Bobby Shew coached my summer jazz workshop combo in Port Townend, WA about 10 years ago. He was one of the first people to really light a fire under my ass about "making the changes" and practicing ii-V licks — he was firm about it but not hard-assed, clearly he had a lot of love for the music.
Thanks for Bobby Shew; I have his double CD with Irv Kotler.
His Shewhorn reminds me of Clark Terry (RIP) trading eights
with himself with two SEPERATE instruments: Trumpet & Flugelhorn.
Another forgotten trumpet giant I can think of is Dupree Bolton
whom I met some years ago as a street musician in San Francisco;
I did not quite get his name at that time but he did say that he had
played with Ch. Parker in the Jay McShann band; when I asked him to play Scrapple from the Apple, he obliged and stunned me; I
slipped him some beer money.
Later, I was to learn that at that particular time he was on methodone program; I have his magnificent CD "FOX" with
Harold Land playing some staggering charts. RIP.

Sony's two new standard definition Handycams are the perfect tool for anyone who can't get close enough to the action they want to film – both boast a huge 67x extended zoom.
While the Handycam DCR-SX21E records onto Sony's own Memory Stick or SD card (which you'll have to buy separately), the DCR-SR21E can store up to 61 hours of Standard Definition video on its 80GB built-in hard disk drive. Useful when you're out and about on holiday, as you don't need to cart around spare discs or tapes.
Both video cams have a 57x optical zoom, which is pretty decent, but add on that 67x extended zoom and you're heading into new, close-up, territory. Of course, our first thought when seeing zoom at this sort of multiplication is that your movies are going to look as though you've been shooting them while standing on a tea tray balancing on a tennis ball – but Sony suggests its SteadyShot image stabilisation will help to keep everything nice and steady. We shall have to wait and see as the Handycams will not be available until early September.
The video cams also feature a number of useful features to help make shooting video easier – Face Detection, plus 18 different scene settings to automatically get the correct settings for the recording conditions.
Each has a flip-out 6.7cm (2.7in) Clear Photo LCD, next to which sits a joystick that can be used to change menus and settings. The cameras have an onboard LED video light, and an Auto mode will automatically turn on the light when it gets dark.
Your movies can be transferred straight to a portable external hard disk – Sony suggests its new 500GB HD-PG5UB hard disk drive, the DCR-SX21E/SR21E, which is lightweight and can fit in a pocket.
There is no news on pricing yet – keep an eye open at www.sony-europe.com

As we learn in this snapshot of life film, poetry is everywhere; even on vehicles. We take to the streets in this touching series of interviews, where we briefly connect with drivers from all over the country. Verses etched, delicately painted, or scrawled on bumpers, trunks, and side panels range from the profound to the sweetly sentimental. The reasoning behind the need for artistic expression is equally diverse, and provides wonderful insight into the drivers' personal lives and the society that surrounds them. A fantastic glimpse into working people's daily lives.
