Way back in 1982 a callow northern youth would visit Ted Carroll's Rock On record stall on Golborne Road in West London. He used to buy the 60s soul singles that the old vinyl merchant had plundered from warehouses and old shop stock on his travels. This interest in a music that was not particularly cherished in London at that time led to Ted asking this son of Market Harborough to stick together 15 singles from Los Angeles' Kent and Modern labels and come up with an LP. That would satisfy all those pesky young mods who pestered Ted for some "soul like what all the original mods used to lissen to". Pinching the title from a popular Popcorn single of the time, the soul brother, we'll call him Horace, came up with "For Dancers Only" a selection of Northern Soul stompers, girl group floaters, male vocal harmonies and low down Rhythm & Blues.
Horace was then asked to rattle off a follow-up, when his first attempt flew out of the shops like shale off a shovel. That was the imaginatively named "For Dancers Also" and with sleevenotes full of wit of that calibre, allied to a crusading enthusiasm and passion for the music, the public were hooked. A deep soul LP came next, followed by a collection of 60s soul classics, an LP of pure Northern Soul dancers, 70s soul sounds and many more sides of soul music's polyhedron.
Thirty years on, we are still coming up with black music compilations from the 60s and 70s that soul fans continue to support and enjoy. These days the CD notes tell you more about the artists than the colour of DJ and LP sleeve designer Ian Clark's odd socks. We have grown in knowledge and inquisitiveness and have almost run out of bad jokes.
Getting eventual access to all the major record labels has given us music from the Okeh, Chess, RCA, Atlantic and even the mighty Tamla Motown. This has meant our supply of sounds from this golden era is virtually limitless. Hugely influential independent labels like Stax, Goldwax, Fame, Westbound, Carnival, Mirwood, King, Scepter/Wand and others have learned to trust our integrity and have thrown open their doors saying "go ahead tell it like it was". Smaller indies such as Sounds Of Memphis, Dave Hamilton's Detroit productions and GWP have come up with iceberg sized vaults lying under the water level and have delivered superb soul music that had frequently unheard since its creation.
Then there are the series like Mod Jazz, Modern Masterpieces, Northern's Classiest, New Breed R&B et al that just keep on coming. Chasing one lead will bring us a handful of tracks that we didn't even know about and the label owner's ex-partner will sometimes chip in with half a dozen tunes too. We've got solo CDs from acts as big as the Impressions, James Carr, Candi Staton and the Staples Singers all the way through runaway successes such as Doris Duke, Sam Dees, Spencer Wiggins, who were previously only known by the cognoscenti, on to O.C. Tolbert, Jackie Day, the Minits and Vernon Garrett who weren't that well known on their blocks.
The continued penchant for vinyl has left us with a handful of bendy LPs and a growing 45s discography that will soon be enough to fill a DJs box: what a great set would be played from it too. Then there's yer actual downloads, T shirts and beer-mats; further evidence of world domination.
In the pipeline is a brilliant set of 60s Detroit soul productions from the legendary Pied Piper outfit, further Fame, more Motown, a new trawl of King, Kent Harris' R&B and soul productions, Darrow Fletcher's separate 60s and 70s CDs and deals that I dream of even as I type.

National writer: Rangers waiting on Diamondbacks to back off on high price for Justin Upton
The Rangers' pursuit of Arizona outfielder Justin Upton may not be over just yet, but it sounds like the team is willing to wait it out in hopes of getting a discount.
According to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the Rangers are "waiting for the D-backs to back off on their demands for either shortstop Elvis Andrus or infielder Jurickson Profar as the centerpiece of an Upton deal."
The Diamondbacks are reportedly so insistent on receiving a top young shortstop in exchange for Upton that they have refused any offers that don't include one. The Rangers, however, are apparently unwilling to deal either Andrus or Profar for Upton, and even reportedly tried to trade for a Braves SS prospect with the hopes of flipping him to Arizona, but the deal never materialized.
Upton, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft, posted an OPS below .800 for the second time in three years, hitting .280/.355/.430 with the Diamondbacks last year. Still, Upton is viewed as one of the most talented young outfielders in the game, and he's just a year removed from finishing fourth in the NL MVP voting at age 23.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets' defensive goal is to reclaim the No. 1 ranking, which they held in 2009. On Sunday, they intend to take down the reigning defensive champs, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Safety LaRon Landry, who already has made an impact on the field with his hard-hitting style, delivered a verbal blow Wednesday, claiming the Jets have better personnel than the Steelers. He expects their superiority to show up at Heinz Field, where the home folks are accustomed to seeing fantastic defense.
"We can be as great as we want to be," Landry said. "I'm not about to turn it into a controversy, but I think we can win over them. I think we have all the pieces that they have, even better. To answer your question, I think we'll pull it off.
"If you look at the starter at each position ... I like the matchup. I choose my guys over any of their guys, especially in our defensive scheme."
It's like old times, as the Jets' bluster is starting to return. Rex Ryan, who last month proclaimed himself "the best defensive coach in the league," already is on record as saying this could be the best defense he's had in four seasons. Several players have backed him up.
"There's just a swagger and confidence on this defense," defensive tackle Mike DeVito said. "We know we can be the best."
The Jets and Steelers are among the elite defensive teams in the league. From 2009-11, the Jets ranked first, third and fifth in total defense, respectively. The Steelers finished fifth, second and first, respectively. They have what the Jets want -- the top spot.
Landry went so far as to say, even though the No. 1 focus this week is Ben Roethlisberger & Co., he also wants to outplay the Steelers' defense.
"It's going to be a tough game, going up against their offense, but also statistically, winning each category, comparing defense to defense, I'm looking forward to that challenge, too," he said. "(I want) to win every category and outbeat their defense. Seriously."
The Jets' previously dormant offense stole the headlines in the 48-28 win over the Buffalo Bills, but the defense served as the catalyst. Early interceptions by Darrelle Revis and Kyle Wilson resulted in terrific field position, setting up the first two touchdowns.
They got sloppy late in the game, allowing two fourth-quarter touchdowns when the outcome was secure, but that didn't put a dent in their confidence.
"I feel like we have no weaknesses at any position on defense," linebacker David Harris said.
That old conviction is back, and a big reason is the new look at safety -- Landry and Yeremiah Bell, easily the most physical tandem they've had under Ryan. The Jets acquired them in free agency, signing them to one-year contracts, hoping to add more pop to a unit that had become somewhat stale.
Landry and Bell are "like predators back there," DeVito said. "They're flying all over the place. They're violent. That's intimidating for the other team. I'd hate to be on the other side of the ball, with those guys flying around.
Steelers wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery, who played with the Jets from 2004-10, said the biggest difference in the current defense and previous versions is Landry stalking the middle of the field.
"He's a physical presence," Cotchery said. "You have to find him, and it's been awhile (since I've seen that on the Jets)."
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin agreed, saying Landry "brings an awesome demeanor to their defense ... I think personalities like his, from a football standpoint, bleed over to others. I think it's an inspiring thing."
The Steelers are synonymous with defense, dating to the iconic era of the Steel Curtain in the 1970s. The current unit underwent changes in the offense, but it still has three players with multiple Pro Bowl appearances -- safety Troy Polamalu, nose tackle Casey Hamton and linebacker James Harrison, who may return this week from a lingering knee injury.
By comparison, the Jets have only one Pro Bowl player -- cornerback Revis, whose status this week is uncertain because of a concussion.
The Steelers' defense is run by the legendary Dick LeBeau, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Jets don't have any Hall of Famers in the building, but Ryan made headlines in training camp by proclaiming himself the best of the best.
"I've stolen a lot of things from (LeBeau)," Ryan said. "He borrowed from us, but he doesn't admit it."
There's one thing he'd like to steal -- LeBeau's No. 1 ranking.

Love this shoe!
"I ordered my regular size and they fit fine. I have narrow feet so they were a little wide but that's probably due to my foot not the shoe. I bought the pewter and loved them so much I bought the black pair! I've been searching for summer wedges that hide my toes and these are perfect."

Great Shoe
"The shoe is comfortable and a good fit. I bought my size and 8. I noticed that your feet can slip occasionally in the shoe so you might want to either buy one size smaller or Dr. Scholls insert to give your feet a better grip. Overall its great for formal or summer occasions."

Cushioning needed
"I bought these shoes for a holiday ball that I will be attending next week. When I tried them on with my dress and stood up I could immediately tell that I was not going to be able to wear these shoes without some cushion on the balls of my feet. It was like I was standing directly on the floor. The heel has cushion but I had to go buy some padding for the front of the shoe. Other than that the shoes are fashionable, affordable, and great for formal occasions."

Great Value, Not Very Comfy
"I recently bought this shoe to go with my bridesmaid dress for a wedding. The price of the shoe and the look of the shoe is great! Very simple and can easily be paired with any formal wear. However, the shoe was not very comfortable to say it is only 3 inches. After two hours of wearing the shoe, I took them off. I have worn 5 inch shoes for more time than that. If you will be standing for a long time, I suggest you go with something more comfortable."

She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Longtime resident of Huntington where she was a member of the Huntington Lions Club and a life member of the V.F.W. Ladies Auxiliary Post #2379. She enjoyed singing at the nursing homes in the area and participating at other functions with the Country Rovers.
Cathie was a very kind and loving person who donated many hours in the community with the Emery County Food Bank and the Lions Club. She loved crocheting, fishing, and caring for all types of animals.
Survived by her brother, Calvin Bailey, Palmero, Calif.; god children, Brittany and Colton Walls; and her special families, The Walls and the Bosleys; and many loving nieces, nephews and dear friends. Preceded in death by her parents, two brothers and one sister.
Funeral service will be held Wed. April 5, 2006 at 11 a.m. in the Huntington First LDS Ward Chapel. Family will be at the church one hour prior to services. Friends are welcome at Mitchell Funeral Home in Price daily. Interment in the Huntington City Cemetery.
SPRING GLEN-Our loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and dear friend, Katherine Andreen Olsen, age 62, passed away March 27, 2006 at her home after a courageous battle with brain cancer.
She was born on Feb. 14, 1944 in Standardville to John and Mildred Monsen Andreen. Married Wayne Verl Olsen May 12, 1962 in Price.
Katherine was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
She loved the outdoors, riding four-wheelers and spending time with her family at the cabin. She enjoyed camping and traveling to Yuma, Ariz. for the winter.
Katherine's warmth and smile brought great joy to those around her and she was the glue in the family that kept everyone together.
She is survived by loving husband, Wayne Olsen, Spring Glen; daughter, Trisha (Boyd) Anderson, Price; son, Mark Olsen, Helper; brother, Calvin (Barbara) Andreen, Price; brothers-in-law, Doug (Mary) Olsen, Wellington; Fred (Kathy) Olsen, Salt Lake City; sisters-in-law, Ronda Manzanares, Price; Dawn (James) Stowe, Steamboat Springs, Colo; five grandchildren, Tasha (Joey), Cody, Tanner, Teonna, Madison; and great-grandson, Brennen. She was preceded in death by parents, one brother and two sisters.
Funeral services were held on Fri., March 31, 1 p.m. Carbonville LDS Ward Chapel, located at the old Spring Glen LDS Ward, 4000 North 1900 West.

WELLINGTON- The light of our world has gone out. Our beautiful wife and mother, Lynda Jane Durrant Compagni, age 54, passed away March 31, 2006 in Price while surrounded by her adoring family after a valiant battle with cancer.
Mom was born Sept. 11, 1951 in Dragerton to Max and Margaret Cooper Durrant. She married the love of her life Charles "Chuck" Compagni, July 26, 1969 at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, and had been holding hands and saying "I love you" ever since.
After graduating in cosmetology at College of Eastern Utah, mom brought endless beauty to hundreds of people from Salt Lake's Salon Dante to Price's Trade Secret. Not only did mom make people look their best, she made them feel their best. She was always upbeat, positive and took on the role of mother, mentor and counselor to anyone who sat in her chair. Her positive impact on the lives she has touched is one of her many legacies.
We will remember our "Nubie" for the important lessons she has taught us; "never give up or give in," "always stand up for yourself," "never be afraid to speak your mind," "laugh often," and "love each other."
Mom always put family first. She was the loudest cheerleader at football games, the first to clap at opera concerts and always greeted dad with a look of adoration and a kiss. Even her recent battle with cancer did not stop her from traveling to see her sons first Italian restaurant, or sit through a concert to hear her daughter sing an aria.
The greatest joy of moms life has been Vito Corleone, her two year old Bichon. He was her protector and pal and always had plenty of kisses for her. He never left her side.
Mom was essence of the power of positive thinking. She amazed family and friends and the great medical team that cared for her. She never lost her humor or her wit, her favorite line being, "I've got cancer, I'm not deaf!" Her ability to bring light to any situation will be greatly missed.
Mom loved the smell of rain, pine trees, camping, fishing, irises, daffodils, the ocean and she loved her family "Big As The Sky!"
"Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me."
She was survived by her husband, Charles Compagni, Wellington; one daughter, one son and their spouses, Tarasina Compagni (Rik Vasquez), Grand Junction, Colo.; Charles Anthony (Celisse) Compagni, Norman, Okla; brother, Ted (Shirley) Durrant, Buchannon, Va.; her protector and pal, Vito Corleone Compagni; also survived by her father-in-law, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and many dear friends. She was preceded in death by parents, Max and Margaret Durrant; brother, Terry Max Durrant; nephew, Cooper Durrant; mother -in-law, Della Compagni; brothers-in-law, Mike Smyth, Chico Compagni; dear friend, Dan James.
Funeral Mass, Thurs., April 6, 10 a.m., Notre Dame De Lourdes Catholic Church. Vigil service, Wednesday evening 7 p.m. at the church. Family will be at Notre Dame Church Wednesday and Thursday one hour prior to services. Committal service, Price City Cemetery. Under the direction of Mitchell Funeral Home.

UPDATE: State District Judge John Creuzot sentenced Valencia to 50 years in prison. He'll be eligible for parole in 25 years.
State District Judge John Creuzot will decide on punishment today for a gang member who led the unprovoked fatal Garland attack on a 16-year-old boy.
Sergio Valencia, 25, faces up to life in prison after a Dallas County jury convicted him Thursday of the felony charge of engaging in organized crime. Authorities believe he led six other gang members in the attack on Jacob Orta and a friend on the morning of May 15, 2005.
The friend got away with a broken arm, but the gang members encircled Jacob and accused him of being in a rival gang. He was not in any gang and he said so.
But the gang members beat him with bats and their hands and feet anyway. They left him laying in the road bleeding. A van also ran over him and did not stop.
Jacob's mother, Michelle Montelongo, was one of several people to testify this morning in the punishment phase of the trial.
She said the loss of her son more than seven years ago has "drilled a permanent hole that will never be filled."
"I have problems sleeping, keeping jobs," she said. "He had a very kind heart. He was a good kid."
During the earlier phases of the trial, Valencia wore a dark suit, but today the convicted felon is wearing a gray prison jumpsuit. His hands are shackled at his waist.
He appeared to be shaking and crying at times, particularly when his relatives testified about what a good boy he was as a child.
A relative, Adriana Garduno, apologized to Jacob's family from the witness stand.
"I do apologize on behalf of me and my family," she said, looking at Montelongo. "We are deeply sorry for what happened to Jacob."
Valencia, a U.S. citizen, is on trial all these years later because he fled to Mexico not long after the beating. He was arrested there in 2010 and extradited to Texas late last year.
Prosecutors did not pursue a murder charge in part because it's unclear which of Jacob's many injuries caused his death.
Others charged in the case have been sentenced from probation to 50 years in prison.

Robyn Lyn Robbins
April 4, 1958 - December 15, 2013
Robyn Lyn Robbins was born in Durango on an Easter weekend April 4, 1958, to Ralph "Eddie" and Dixie Robbins. As a brown-eyed beauty, Robyn was the second child and was welcomed by her older sister of 18 months, Deana Kaye, to the Robbins Family Ranch, where she would spend most of her life. She was later joined by her two younger brothers, Richard Vern, born March 28, 1959, and Wesley Lee, born April 11, 1961.
Robyn grew up with a tremendous love for animals and life, and liked spending time outside. She would come up with many excuses to be outside instead of helping sister, Deana, with household chores.Robyn was an avid horsewoman, and she and her horse, Pocahontas, would spend the majority of the hours of their days together running and racing in the outdoors. It was a hard lesson learned that you should not run a horse home when she ended up in the ditch with scrapes and bruises. Robyn's love of animals brought many strays home and begged her mom and dad to let her nurse them back to health.
Robyn attended Mancos Schools in first through 12th grades. She was very active in school playing volleyball and basketball, running track and cheerleading for all the boys' games. Robyn graduated high school in 1976 and maintained close relationships with most of her graduating class.
Robyn attended Rocky Mountain College in Glenwood Springs to become a veterinarian technician. She returned home before finishing her degree because she was homesick. Robyn then married her high school sweetheart, David Archibeque, in September 1977 on the Robbins Ranch. They made their home in Mancos. Robyn worked at Safeway as a cashier in Cortez for many years, which helped perpetuate her love for people and ability to strike up conversations.
After she and David went their separate ways, Robyn became more involved with her parents in the ranch work. She met her second husband while working in Disappointment Valley, and it was out of this relationship that Robyn's dream came true. She became a mother to a precious baby girl, Autumn Lyn, on Sept. 24, 1988. Robyn cherished the new life inside of her and every moment as a mother. She was so excited that she had a baby girl of her very own, one to dress up, play with, nurture and love unconditionally.
In a horse accident in 1990, she fractured her pelvis and was flown to Denver and spent months in rehab. David then came back into her life and played a role in caring for Autumn while Robyn recovered. Robyn and David built a home together caring for Autumn in the years to follow.
After recovery, Robyn returned to school and obtained her associate's degree in bilingual education through Pueblo Community College. She frequently substituted and made lifelong impressions for so many of the children's lives she touched. Robyn continued her work on the ranch and built a life of her own in the cattle business. Not only did she have cattle and horses, but she had her very own petting zoo equipped with goats, sheep, pot belly pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chickens, turkeys, donkeys, raccoons, skunks, peacocks and many, many cats and dogs. Robyn supplemented her income as a rancher by working at the Millwood as a waitress and bartender. Many patrons could bend Robyn's ear in light of her love for people.
Anyone who knew Robyn has been touched by her laughter and smile. Robyn was quick to respond to everyone else in need but had difficulty dealing with her own. Robyn persevered through the trials and tribulations in her life, but they took a toll on her physically and emotionally. She will be remembered as a loving, caring, compassionate person and a great friend, sister, daughter and mother.
Robyn is preceded in death by her parents and two younger brothers. Robyn is survived by her great-grandmother, Betty Dillon, sister Deana and her husband Don Yeomans; daughter Autumn and her husband Bradley Dennison; niece Karassa and her husband Dan Schaefer; niece Brianna Yeomans; niece Jori White; nephew Kole Yeomans and niece Shacee Robbins; great-niece Teya Yeomans and great-nephews Traycer and Trevyn White and Wesley Schaefer and many family and friends.
Memorial contributions may be made to Mancos Valley Bank. Contributions will be dispersed to charities.

activ8 30 Day Supply Kit
- Overview
- Features
- About the brand
Harsh industrial strength chemicals are often found in shampoo products, all but destroying fragile new hair as it emerges from the scalp. Heavy artificial wax materials are used commonly in conditioning products, hugging the hair follicles with residual materials and weighing existing hair down so it appears thin, limp, and unhealthy. In addition, many hair care styling products contain artificial lacquers designed to coat the hair shaft with a hard, clear finish as a fixative. This material in turn blocks hair growth and plugs hair follicles, very much the same way that the hair loss culprit DHT inhibits growth.
There are no waxes or "film forming" ingredients in Activ8 formulas. When using Activ8 products, you are assured of receiving the best possible treatment to revitalize the scalp and promote maximum hair volume and density.
30 Day Supply Kit Includes:
Activ8 Cleanse, 4.2 oz - pH-neutral, removes DHT and other scalp sebum build-up immediately. It also contains soothing naturally derived ingredients that purify the scalp.
Activ8 Shampoo, 4.2 oz - a unique, pH-neutral, sulfate, alcohol, and paraben-free daily shampoo formula. An exclusive shampoo product formulated to remove DHT and scalp sebum with naturally-derived ingredients.
Activ8 Conditioner, 4.2 oz - residue-free, wax-free, pH-neutral formulation with amino-acids, natural herbs and proteins to provide exceptional detangling, elasticity and moisture to the hair. Condition formula is non-comedogenic, helping to promote healthy hair.
Women's Activ8 Nutri-MX, 2 oz - contains minoxidil, the only topical ingredient approved by the FDA to prevent hair loss and promote hair regrowth. Revitalizes hair follicles & clinically proven to help regrow hair.
Activ8 is today's most unique, most advanced and complete line of daily treatments for healthy hair, scalp and achieving maximum hair density.

Valentina Marabini, British Museum
In a previous post I described a hanging scroll that I was working on – a work of Qing Dynasty calligraphy. It is now finished. I wrote then that I would explain the process used to conserve it, so here goes.
The first thing I had to do was to assess the scroll condition. The scroll is executed on paper – zhi ben hua long-fibered, which looks almost like silk. It was carefully analysed, photographed and the treatment procedure set. We next established the proportions and design for a new scroll mount.
Unfortunately, the scroll was very creased with extensive horizontal cracks and signs of many previous repairs. However, the paint itself was stable and therefore suitable to be cleaned using a 'wet' treatment.
Using a broad paibi brush we carefully sprinkled water over the surface and drained it off.
When the painting was clean we could remove the old linings. A layer of dry xuan paper was placed over the face of the scroll, and the scroll and its support were loosely rolled up. The scroll was unrolled and flattened over wang wang juen (an open silk) face down and left overnight. During this time the paste and layers of backing papers became softer, making them easier to work with.
To be able to remove the backing papers we had to remove many of the scroll layers. The scroll had three layers of backing papers – (i) a layer of white xuan paper repairs, (ii) a second lining of very long fibred paper and (iii) a first lining of thin xuan paper in direct contact with the calligraphy.
We cleaned the edges of the missing areas, removing old paste residues and lightly evened their thickness with a very thin spatula. Some of the previous repairs were in good condition and were left in situ, but some had deteriorated and so were removed. The calligraphy was now ready for relining.
Layers of paper were selected and dyed with natural pigments mixed with animal glue and water to match the tone. The back of the calligraphy was pasted with thin flour paste using a paibi brush. The first lining paper (a long fibered paper) was moistened and positioned over the calligraphy and adhered with a wuzhou brush. On top of this a second lining of mian lian (thin xuan paper) was pasted; this is called jia tou meaning additional lining.
False paper margins were adhered to the edge of the calligraphy to facilitate joining to its new silk mount later on.
When the lining was complete we could check the calligraphy itself. Missing areas were repaired with new paper made of mian lian and were evened with a thin spatula. The calligraphy was then turned face up and left to dry naturally.
After sizing and drying, the calligraphy was again lightly moistened and adhered to a white xuan paper, face up on the table. We could now start retouching. This is done in natural light, and aims to match the repaired areas to the colours of the original. Ink and pigments are carefully diluted and then applied.
This process was followed by tou liao, the selection and dying of the appropriate silk to form the new mount. The silk mount was to be in two colours, a plain and a grey-blue pattern silk.
With retouching completed, the calligraphy was detached and the edges of the mount were squared. The mounting silk was cut to size and attached to the calligraphy using a technique called wa hua: a window is cut precisely in the silk and the calligraphy is inserted into it.
A final double-layered backing paper completed the lining stage and, after a period of drying, wooden fittings were attached to the top and bottom of the scroll so it was ready for hanging. I will write about that in my next post…

Dod Protractor and Parallel Rule
- Description
- This brass semicircular protractor is divided by single degrees and marked by tens from 10° to 90° to 10°. It is attached with metal screws to a set of brass parallel rules. Brass S-shaped hinges connect the rules to each other. The bottom left screw on the parallel rules does not attach to the bottom piece. A rectangular brass arm is screwed to the center of the protractor. A thin brass piece screwed to the arm is marked with a small arrow for pointing to the angle markings. The protractor is stored in a wooden case, which also contains a pair of metal dividers (5-1/4" long).
- The base of the protractor is signed: L. Dod, Newark. Lebbeus Dod (1739–1816) manufactured mathematical instruments in New Jersey and is credited with inventing the parallel rule protractor. He served as a captain of artillery during the Revolutionary War and made muskets. His three sons, Stephen (1770–1855), Abner (1772–1847), and Daniel (1778–1823), were also noted instrument and clock makers. The family was most associated with Mendham, N.J. (where a historic marker on N.J. Route 24 indicates Dod's house), but Dod is known to have also lived at various times in Newark.
- ID number MA*310890 is a similar protractor and parallel rule. Compare also to a Dod instrument owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, http://www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/5535.

actually the nuggets can pay him more unless the new CBA changes that, i doubt he will be the new james he will more than likely sign with NY as soon as he hits the market if he does not get traded first. the thing is the nuggets will either trade him to NY or find some team to take him with out an extension just so they can get something for him. there is no sense in just letting him go.
also espn now saying the knicks may be trying to make a push for melo?

Strut Large Table
by Blu Dot
At A Glance:
Structure and design are one with the Strut Dining Table, giving it a strong stance and minimalist look. Its powder-coated steel frame and durable polyurethane finished MDF top cut a slim profile, keeping the distraction to a minimum and giving you a simple centerpiece for your dining room. After all, it's what's on the table that matters - shouldn't your attention be drawn to it rather than the dining table?
What's To Like:
The thin legs and table top of the Strut Table are sturdy, thanks to the steel materials used, and help it to fit nicely in a dining room or meeting room without being too overpowering. Dinner guests, family, or co-workers will find there is ample room around the Blu Dot Strut Large Table. Whether you are hosting a crowd for dinner or using the Strut Table for work-related meetings, you'll find it to be versatile and functional.
What's Not to Like:
The Strut Dining Table is one of those designs you won't be ambivalent about. Chances are, you love it - and you just as well may hate it. If that's the case, and you're looking for a more traditional dining table, check out the Branch Dining Table or the Currant Dining Table.
The Bottom Line:
The Blu Dot Strut Dining Table - with its clean lines, sturdy legs, and unique color options - can be the perfect choice for your dining room and a great addition to any home. The Blu Dot Strut Large Table is modern, sleek, and functional. If you're in the market for a dining table that's not big and bulky (but can comfortably fit a crowd and fit seamlessly in your room), then this Blu Dot dining table is for you.

Q:How much weights this large table can be handled?
Possible to paint? I saw green/lime color, Lucky magazine,march 2012 issue.Asked on 5/20/2012 by uni from sacramento, ca
1 answer
A:The manufacturer does not provide weight capacity for this product. Most dining tables don't have this type of rating since you don't typically sit on them or load them up with books. With a lacquered MDF top and powder coated steel base we wouldn't recommend painting it and lime green is not a color option for this table. Maybe the picture you saw was photo shopped to look green?Answered on 5/22/2012 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Blu Dot furniture comes with a 1-year warranty.

GDB 21: Garon rides the pine
Jason Gregor
November 26 2008 01:46PM
If it wasn't obvious before, it is now. Craig MacTavish has lost confidence in Mathieu Garon. In a move that shocked most, Dwayne Roloson will be starting tonight, not Garon, against the Kings.
Why you ask?
I have no idea. This move doesn't make sense on any level. Roloson got pulled his last time out, and while Garon didn't look comfortable for the first ten minutes in relief, he did look much better as game wore on.
The Oilers had four days of practice, Garon got to see more rubber than he had in the previous weeks, he looked and acted more comfortable and even he gave the impression he expected to start tonight against his former team.
But there was Roloson, first off at practice, and talking openly about starting tonight.
At the start of MacTavish's press conference today, he was asked about Garon, but said he didn't want to talk about the goalies before the game. Later in presser when pushed on it again he spoke about it.
"In talking to Pete about Mathieu he says his game in coming along in practice. It's not just about the game, it's about how Pete sees them (three goalies) coming along in practice. Matty's game is coming around and based on practice he will get a start very soon."
This move is more about just whether Roloson is better than Garon. MacTavish has lost confidence in Garon, and it sounds like goaltending coach Pete Peeters isn't on the same page as Garon.
It was well-documented last season that Peeters wasn't enamoured with Garon working with another goaltending consultant, Lyle Mast. Garon enjoyed working with Mast, and sources have hinted that #32 is no longer allowed to work with him.
If that is indeed the case, then Garon's not playing could be based on more than just stopping pucks.
There is clearly something fishy about this situation.
Garon was great in his first three starts, and then average to below-average in the four since, but he wasn't awful in relief against the Wings. And it's not like Roloson was outstanding in his past few starts. He was okay, but not so great that you wouldn't consider going with Garon.
Many wonder if the Oilers are showcasing Roloson, or plan on doing the same with Garon when, or if, he gets another start. So I asked MacTavish if he ever takes that angle when considering who will be his starter.
"I'm not a fortune teller. It's incumbent on the player to get in there and play well, if he wants continue to play. That's the simple part of it. When the goalies get and play well, like Mathieu did earlier, Jeff did in the middle, and how Rollie has done now. I go by what I see in practice and in the games; it's as simple as that."
Based on those comments Garon must not be practicing well, because he has only played 48 minutes since Nov 7th.
Rarely do I second guess a lot of moves a coach makes, because I don't think I know more than him, but in this case I'm scratching my head.
All the signs pointed to starting Garon. He allowed one goal in 25 shots versus Detroit. He had four days of practice, he was playing his former team, and he hasn't had a start since November 6th, but he will be watching again.
Coaches get paid to win, so if the Oilers win tonight, MacTavish can feel confident in his decision. But this decision has many more negatives possibilities than it does positive ones.
The only positive is a win.
A lose opens him up to loads of criticism, and justified criticism in this case. It leaves Garon wondering more than ever where he fits on this team. It also hurts the team down the road. They need to clarify their goaltending situation sooner than later, and hopefully find a solution that ends what has become a five-year search for a true #1 goalie.
Win or lose tonight, not starting Garon looks wrong.

Fighting Zherdev is like ripping one off with my left hand. Yeah I got the job done but it was awkward and wasted everyone's time.
November 26 2008, 08:52PM
I'd much rather be killed with kindness.
November 26 2008, 08:54PM
And I would rather die while Sheldon Souray gives me raspberries and tickles my belly with his ever evolving facial folliage.
November 26 2008, 08:55PM

That is precisely how I define 'kindness'
November 26 2008, 08:56PM
Who wouldn't want to have their belly tickled by Souray?
November 26 2008, 08:57PM
I sure would!
November 26 2008, 09:01PM
Oilers game on ---- HELLO
Who cares about Bobby Orr
November 26 2008, 09:01PM
Rusty Blowjobs!
*dead silence*
November 26 2008, 09:02PM
Is that similar to the Rusty Trombone?
November 26 2008, 09:02PM
Bobby Orr is awesome. That was a cool mastercard ad he was just in.
November 26 2008, 09:03PM
I prefer the strwberry danish
November 26 2008, 09:03PM
I love the Justice league.
November 26 2008, 09:04PM
and the justice league loves you
November 26 2008, 09:04PM
Those knees!
November 26 2008, 09:04PM
Not the same as Graham James loves his junoir players though
November 26 2008, 09:05PM
And Bobby Orr would love a Rusty Trombone from someone at MasterCard
November 26 2008, 09:05PM
Bobby Orr is awesome, but I miss the banter of Jason Portuondo & anyother stiff they jam in the chair beside him during intermissions showing us "filler" by Gene Principe
November 26 2008, 09:07PM
Good "filler" would be Portwando going all gangster on Principe's ass.
that intermission was the most boring thing i've seen on TV since Parking Wars on A&E.
November 26 2008, 09:08PM
Portwando is about as gangster as the St Albert Girl Guides troop #12
November 26 2008, 09:08PM
Good comments from Ferarro on Smid...
Wake up Brodziak & Stortini
November 26 2008, 09:09PM
The girls in troop #12 stole my hub caps.
November 26 2008, 09:09PM
A defenseman that hasn't scored in 74 games is playing forward.
This makes perfect sense in what parallel universe again?
November 26 2008, 09:09PM
That seems like a short list of names to wake up
November 26 2008, 09:10PM
I thought you rolled in 'Dubs'
Hub cap? What is that
November 26 2008, 09:10PM
Stortini is just awful. The only thing he's useful for is the day long preparation of Penner's trough.
November 26 2008, 09:12PM
November 26 2008, 09:12PM
I liked that Iso shot of Grebs after he coughed the puck up. You could read his lips - F*CK"

What year is this??
November 26 2008, 09:16PM
Someone take out Brown!
November 26 2008, 09:16PM
It's really not fair if the cover 44 all the time. It makes it too hard... Souray might grab the puck and run home.
November 26 2008, 09:16PM
I know exactly what is going on Moo. Jeanshorts told me today in the bathtub. And neither of us are telling YOU
November 26 2008, 09:16PM

|In response to Re: Concrete laundry tub replacement
: I have a double concrete laundry tub located in the basement. I believe it is shot because it is leaking and it appears the concrete is cracked in the bottom of the one side. House is 1890 approx. Currently there is a drum trap with galv drain line which comes off the trap and runs 4 feet over and down into the cement floor. I intend to bust this thing out and replace with a plastic double tub, with a p-trap. The question involves the drain line. At one point in time the gutter from outside elbowed inside, then straight down into the corner floor of the basement, into some sort of crock looking gizmo. Several of these abandoned lines tied into the sewer somehow. I believe the laundry drain was sort of tied into this gutter drain line by simply putting a hole in the top of the line and putting the galv down into it. There appears to be no vent, and of course no practical way to add one. There is a 4 inch drain approx 8 feet away. Any ideas on what to do with this mess? Studor vent somewhere? Currently it drains but slowely probably due to restricted piping?

Amit Chatterjee is a founder, board member, and ex-CEO of Hara Software. He is a thought leader on green economy innovation, energy independence, and entrepreneurship and was selected as one of the most influential people in business as part of Fortune magazine's 40 Under 40 list for 2010. Prior to founding Hara, he led SAP's governance, risk and compliance unit.
Amit Chatterjee and Michel Gelobter of Hara Software describe how energy management transforms an enterprise toward sustainability.
Interview conducted by Vinod Baya and Bo Parker
PwC: What are your clients' challenges and how are you addressing them?
AC: When you look at the future rising costs of energy, it is probably the third most expensive unmanaged cost item for any Fortune 500 company. Likely people are number one, real estate is number two, and energy costs are number three. Organizations have a great mechanism for thinking about how to manage people, and a good mechanism for real estate, but they don't have a very good perspective around how to manage energy. The energy sector has never really leveraged information technology in a meaningful way. At Hara, we're looking at it, and as we engage with our customers, we find that after all these years of Internet communications, there's still a lot of use of paper, phone, and fax. So I looked at Hara and thought about what we could build or do that would be significant and relevant to the Fortune 500: can you capture and quantify the value of energy that an organization is consuming into a single system of record, and then guide them to a reduction? The net effect is providing an enterprise-wide view of their current spend, which I call a transparency-to-results process.
PwC: How does managing energy relate to sustainability?
AC: When you think of sustainability as a topic, it's a lens through which you look at the health of a company. When I look at a company through the lens of finance, certain things pop up. Similarly, sustainability is a lens through which you see the long-term health of your company and evaluate it using metrics associated with the impact on the environment and society, but in the end it's the same as financials.
Michel Gelobter is chief green officer at Hara and a leading sustainability and climate strategist. Gelobter is founder and chairman of the board of Cooler, a for-profit social venture. Prior to Cooler, Gelobter was president of Redefining Progress, the think tank that helped design the world's most aggressive climate legislation, which was signed into California law in August 2006.
In this interview, Chatterjee and Gelobter describe how managing energy is transformational and starts any organization down the sustainability road.
MG: Business ecosystems need environmental resources, and you need a functioning planet with that resource base to sustain you for the long term. Businesses also impact the environment from their operations. For the first time, businesses are realizing that their resource base is not unlimited. In fact, it's never been unlimited. In a variety of ways, resource shortages are forcing businesses to evaluate, manage, and conserve these resources as part of their business processes.
About 80 percent of why we don't have more efficiency and conservation is because of imperfect information— an example of that is what academics call the principal agent problem—with tenants and landlords not talking to each other about energy use, the disconnects between buildings, between IT and the IT manager, and among the facilities manager, the CFO, and the energy manager, and so on. These are classic and old problems, and they relate to information. Making the information transparent is the way to address this problem, which is what we are doing to influence the management of energy and other resources. Also, energy optimization is not an incremental business if you take it seriously. It's a transformational business that shapes your business toward sustainability.
PwC: Most organizations operate in industry ecosystems, and a large energy footprint can exist in the supply chain. How do your solutions affect the supply chain?
AC: The supply chain story was actually something that became relevant to our customer base last year. As we worked with retailers and manufacturers, it became very obvious that they wanted to not only understand what their total impact was but also their supply chain's impact. In October 2010, we released our Value Chain module.
Ironically, one of the first customers to use it was not the channel master but one of the suppliers. I called the customer and said, "I understand that you wanted to license this module. What's the logic?" And they said, "Reporting, because a particular retailer is asking me to. But if I start to understand how my suppliers are working on reducing energy use, I believe I have stronger negotiating positions against my competition." So it's a domino effect in the supply chain.
PwC: How does this understanding influence the dynamics in the supply chain?
AC: Let's take a phone, for example. If a semiconductor manufacturer creates a chip that goes into this phone and is efficiently produced, then the manufacturer can hold differentiated pricing. That's probably where we've seen the most interesting action. The supplier can now say, "In the creation of this phone, which normally would have taken you 100 kilowatt-hours, because of our semiconductor it's now only 40 kilowatt-hours. Our pricing should remain the same, because you're actually saving money on operations." That's where you're going to start seeing real innovation as opposed to forcing someone to tell you how much energy they've used.
When a supplier changes its products and practices, the benefit accrues to all customers using the supplier, although the work may have been done for a particular customer. The supplier has an economic incentive to talk to its customers about innovations it is doing and can do from a sustainability perspective. As you go farther down the supply chain, all the different components that go in a product, the supplier has an incentive to understand the flow of energy so that it can make an economic argument to hold differentiated pricing.
MG: We are in a world where supply chains are increasingly linked to the health of the companies they serve. What is changing because of sustainability is that environmental costs are increasingly being internalized, whether it's directly or what you are buying through your supply chain. The transformation has to do with the transparency and availability of information. For instance, Levi Strauss moved from having environmentally based terms of engagement with suppliers to basing its terms of engagement on the United Nation's millennium development goals.
PwC: So once enterprises use a system like yours to save on energy costs, say 10 percent, where do they go next?
MG: There is no end to that 10 percent. Like any other business process, managing energy is also about ongoing and continuous improvement. Let me give you some examples. The economy of China has been improving its energy efficiency 5 percent every year for the last 30 years. California has improved 3.5 percent every year for the last 30 years. The United States, on average, has improved 2 percent a year for the last 30 years. All this was without concerted systems and sophisticated management.
PwC: What features are your customers requesting that are not in your products yet?
AC: For the most part, our customers today have really figured out their total energy and sustainability impact. They've experimented with a variety of reduction techniques that have led them to certain cost savings. Now they're starting to say, "As I start to modify my operations, there are externalities I need to understand so that I can forecast and play scenarios to make better decisions about where I put my facility or how I execute a particular business process." And that could be everything from heating degree days to cooling degree days to thinking about the occupancy flow of an office building on an average day, the price of natural gas, or the price of oil.
On the basis of all those factors, a company's executives could then make a business decision that yes, even though solar panels are not profitable in today's scenario within the company's time period of cost to capital, they know that if oil moves to this number, which they have high confidence it will, this actually does make a lot more sense. That net effect allows companies to not only go after the low-hanging fruit of energy-reduction opportunities, but also shift their attention to bigger projects that are a little more technically demanding and allow them to factor in what they believe the scenario of the future will look like.
PwC: So business model scenario planning capabilities allow companies to model the relationships between inputs and outputs and the overall impact of environmental or social changes?
AC: Right. For example, should a company stop expanding in the international territories because there's not enough fresh water in that area for the company to be able to manufacture its goods? A life sciences customer actually ran into that issue because it didn't know about the constraint. The company wanted to double its factory, so it went through the work of planning, etc., and eventually the project got shut down. The company was surprised. The project was shut down because the amount of water that the company consumed was already 25 percent of the watershed of the region that it was in, and if it doubled its capacity, the company would have essentially consumed 50 percent of the watershed. If you don't manage the environmental perspective and its impact on your business model, you will get blindsided by really dangerous situations. That complication set the company back, because it couldn't produce its drug; the market for its drug was growing and it was not in a position to meet the demand.
PwC: What is the role of the CIO with respect to sustainability?
AC: Part of the reason we've built the company the way we have is that we believe information technology transforms energy usage into something that is manageable. So, you shift now to a situation where CIOs can actually identify energy cost-saving benefits via their technology infrastructure. And IT organizations are starting with what I would say is the "clean up your own house" approach—the greening of data centers and technology resources.
Then third and probably most important is tracking how existing business processes are consuming energy and natural resources. Creating that as a decision framework for line of business owners is something that the CIO can provide in terms of reporting metrics.
PwC: How much can they do that without needing to ask permission or to seek investment from business unit leaders?
AC: Most of the time, the first step is gathering the information, which they can do on their own. Case in point: I knew we had a business when a customer gave us a contract for about 1,400 facilities. We gathered all the information and I walked back in and said, "What do you think your energy footprint is?" And he said, "Probably $50 to $80 million." I said, "Try a quarter of a billion."
CIOs have that data because they own the ERP [enterprise resource planning] system and they own the payables. The utility bill data sits there. They just need to use a Hara system so they can then hand a report back to a customer or a line of business owner and say, "Here are the 17 facilities that run, here's where they're at, and by the way you're the seventh worst in our organization. You can do something about it." And they can drive that transformation pretty easily.
PwC: You are offering a SaaS [software-as-a-service] solution and therefore you aggregate data across several customers. Does that allow you to create benchmarks that benefit all?
AC: One of the benefits of SaaS is that you can extract aggregate data that can lead to benchmarks. Most of our customers opt in to be able to receive that benchmark data, which means that for them to see the benchmarks, they must give their data. You can see it in two ways. One is within your own community: Within your 1,800 retail sites, who's the best performing and who's the least performing. The second is within the regional community: Show me all the commercial buildings in Indianapolis under 25,000 square feet. How do I look? And so on.
Over time, we will see a greater aggregated benefit. We become the Consumer Reports for actual technologies. As customers go into Hara and look at a biomass boiler, or they use tinted windows or LED lights, they can actually identify the ROI [return on investment], the payback period, and the overall framework for each one. So when company executives look at their Indianapolis facility and they're considering a fuel cell, for example, they can look at the other places in that geography that used fuel cells, what their expected results were, and what their actual results were.

Doheny Blues Festival shimmers on Day 1
Ben Harper performs at the Doheny Blues Festival. Photo by Drew A. Kelley, for the Register
Day 1 at Doheny Blues Festival was one of the most perfect in the 16-year history of the event with sunny skies stretching from morning to nightfall and a shining musical lineup to match. The long day's headlining act, a teaming one-two punch from Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite, lived up to its top billing. The duo's 2013 release "Get Up!" is that rare disc where everything is as it should be – meaning the songs, performances and integrated styles of the artists gel completely.
That chemistry proved itself to be just as persuasive on a beautiful night in Dana Point, with singer-harmonica legend Musselwhite and singer-songwriter-guitarist Harper and his solid three-man backing group tore up the Doheny Stage for just over 100 minutes before a near-capacity crowd.
Opening with "I Don't Believe a Word You Say," a fiery blues tune that has Harper's blistering vocals and Musselwhite's equally potent blues harp work exchanging blows, the set never let up. Even when performing quiet material ("Don't Look Twice," "Get Up!") there were so many dynamics courtesy of Harper's slide work, Musselwhite's harp blasts and the band's groove that the intensity never wavered.
The performance reached its zenith near the end of the rewarding set when the ensemble ripped through an extended cover of Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" boasting loads of Musselwhite's harmonica attack amidst the fire of Harper's slide.
Saturday's lineup was truly an exhibition of the wide range of artists whose sounds are inspired or rooted in blues music. The James Hunter Six, led by British singer-songwriter-guitar master Hunter, definitely got a huge crowd positioned in front of the Sailor Jerry Stage dancing and grooving to its blend of blues, R&B and soul. Playing cuts off the newly released "Minute By Minute" ("The Gypsy" definitely hit home), he also explored his back catalog. On an uptempo take on "Jacqueline," Hunter showed off his guitar playing when he did some smart licks in tandem with his two sax players.
One of the toughest choices for concertgoers was deciding whether to see Tedeschi Trucks Band on the main Doheny Stage or Mark Hummel's Blues Harp Blowout on the intimate Backporch, since both sets overlapped. This writer opted to take in the first four songs of Tedeschi Trucks before running to catch the harmonica-centric tribute to Little Walter.
As evidenced when husband Derek Trucks and wife Susan Tedeschi last performed at Doheny Beach in 2011, the 11-member troupe is a powerful force that has a full arsenal thanks to Tedeschi's mighty soprano, Trucks' power on the slide guitar and a mix of backing singers and other players that got their collective moments to shine, too. Of the songs I caught, "It's So Heavy" impressed as a blues-drenched ballad showcasing Tedeschi's range and the nuanced performance by the large ensemble around her.
Another promising performance yielded big returns with a well-timed tribute to Little Walter. With the recent release of "Remembering Little Walter," the majority of the collection's players joined forces to pay tribute to the late harmonica giant before a crowd that cheered, often danced and genuinely seemed ignited by the power of many of today's best blues harmonica players.
While Musselwhite watched from the wings, Hummel, Billy Boy Arnold and Sugar Ray Norcia performed their versions of many of Little Walter's best-known tunes. Little Charlie Baty inflicted some skilled guitar playing throughout the long set as well. Highlights came via Hummel's gentle take on the extended instrumental "Blue Light," Sugar Ray Norcia's blazing "Mean Old World" and Arnold's original song "Wandering Eye."
Of the day's first seven performances, Harry Manx (joined by fellow Canadian Steve Marriner of the group MonkeyJunk) was the most impressive. His blend of blues, folk and world music was a welcome expansion on the wide-ranging spirit of day one. His "Coat of Mail" was among a number of outstanding original songs that connected.
The other standout was singer-guitar virtuoso Joanne Shaw Taylor. A British blues guitarist whose hard-hitting and dazzling chops recalled those unleashed by a young Joe Bonamassa, she will likely be a future returnee to the fest based on the enthusiastic reception from the Doheny crowd packed in front of the Sailor Jerry Stage.
Bring on day 2.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have had success with clousers in the 2-4 range for the smaller guys (under 15-lbs).
Chartreuse/wh, throw some flash in it
Poppers in any color. Strip fast
Crease flies. I made some from thin white sheet foam. I used some Sally Hansen's chrome nail polish to paint the body and gives a nice flash on bright days. You can really make these flies do amazing things with a fly rod (~20-25 feet out, get the fly line out of the water and pull just fast enough that the fly skips across the water. I've seen a small pod of Jacks circle back only to be scared off by the barracuda that wanted the fly even more).
Epoxy flies (in #1 hooks) that has ultra hair body and flash. I let these sink down in the hold then make them struggle back up. Usually flushes a fish out from it's hole in the coral.
Flies for jacks, bones!!!
Hey guys im going to Islas Mujeres in a few weeks. Its right off the coast of Cancun. Im gonna be flyfishing with my 8wt. Gonna go after what ever will bite. Hopefully some bones, jacks, and small perms. What flies should I use for these waters. Or if you what will catch these fish. I basically know for the bones and perms. (Clousers, Crabs...) But what about the jacks and dont you mainly catch these in the surf? Dont know too much about em. Any input would be great. Thanks.
