A bill that would modify the relationship between a landlord and a tenant has passed the state Assembly – with amendments – by a near party-line vote of 57-37, and now moves on to the state Senate for final approval.
Members of the public will have an opportunity to voice their opinions on the Second Chance Bill – a State Bar of Wisconsin-backed initiative that would return first-time, nonviolent 17-year-old offenders to juvenile court jurisdiction – during a public hearing.
Members of the State Bar of Wisconsin are closely monitoring a newly introduced bill that would reorganize most chapters of the criminal procedure code, as well as create new authority for courts and codify some current practices.
Judges and court staff from across the state are going to great lengths this month to recognize local jurors in honor of Juror Appreciation Month.
If you broadcasted or posted a story that ehanced the public's understanding of the justice system between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2013, you're invited to enter it in the State Bar's Golden Gavel Awards competition.
The State Bar of Wisconsin supports a bill currently being circulated that would give first-time nonviolent 17-year-old offenders a second chance by sending them back to juvenile court.
In this video, State Bar of Wisconsin President Patrick J. Fiedler gives remarks during a Sept. 5 news conference in support of a bill that would return first-time, nonviolent 17-year-old offenders to juvenile court jurisdiction.

The State Bar of Wisconsin is taking one of its community-based education programs on the road. Our Courts Wisconsin will make its way around the state over the next several months in an effort to further public knowledge and understanding of the courts and legal system.
As part of its ongoing mission to help young people develop an understanding and appreciation of our courts and the legal system, the State Bar welcomes back two of its dynamic public education programs: Mock Trial and Court with Class.
In this video, Our Courts Wisconsin Speaker Committee Chair Judge Edward Leineweber puts out the call for more volunteer attorneys and judges.
The Wisconsin Legislature returns to work this fall with a heavy agenda to close out the 2013 session. The fall session will span over three months and will include floor periods in September, October and November.
Due to a growing demand to incorporate elements of Wisconsin Supreme Court proceedings into the classroom, the State Bar of Wisconsin will launch CourtEye this week, the latest in the organization's ever- mounting list of public education programs.
The State Bar of Wisconsin is aiming to help the public decipher Wisconsin's new mining plans through a public forum on the Penokee Range Mining Proposal.
As requests for the State Bar of Wisconsin's four Our Courts Wisconsin programs pour in, committee leaders are putting out the call for more volunteer attorneys and judges.
The State Bar of Wisconsin and its charitable arm, the Wisconsin Law Foundation, are ramping up fundraising efforts for National Mock Trial 2014 (to be held in Madison) by launching an online giving campaign.
Aug. 2, 2013 – This video features Judge Edward Leineweber and Office of Lawyer Regulation Litigation Counsel Bill Weigel co-presenting Myths & Realities in Wisconsin's Courts – one of Our Courts' four programs.
Three names have been submitted to President Obama for the position of U.S. District Judge for the Western District of Wisconsin. U.S. Senators Johnson and Baldwin have made their recommendations following the work of the Federal Nominating Commission.
Now that the State Bar of Wisconsin has introduced its new Our Courts Wisconsin program, groups are lining up to request that one or more of the presentations come to their city or county.
The State Bar of Wisconsin is set to host the National Mock Trial competition next spring, and organizers of the event are pleased to announce that they have received the largest donation to date – $25,000 – from the Wisconsin Law Foundation.

About Popa Falls
Popa Falls is situated in Namibia's Caprivi Region. Even though the site is called Popa Falls, the stretch of flowing is water is actually a run of rapids and isn't a waterfall.
What creates the Popa Falls rapids is a run of the Okavango Delta's water supply over a string of bounders. Voila - Popa Falls is created.
Image by Dr. Thomas Wagner
Popa Falls may not be a waterfall, or even the biggest rapid in Africa, but it most definitely is a beautiful location that's perfect for enjoying adventure activities around.
Image by Overlanding Africa
Namibia's Caprivi Region is thriving with its fair share of water, vegetation and amazing sunsets. It's in this area that Popa Falls lives.
Image by Michael Paskevicius
The Caprivi Region is known for its abundance of bird life, making for an epic destination for bird-spotting enthusiasts.

Before, during and after your trip to see Popa Falls, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife on the banks of the Okavango Delta. The area is a hotspot for wildlife viewing.
Image by Ana _ge
Popa Falls is surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes you can come across in Africa. With wildlife roaming the surrounding area and the Okavango Delta feeding the falls, a trip to Popa Falls means you're on a safari.

Doggin' Delayed Is Doggin' Denied
So what if it took me until tonight to read the Opinion section of the Sunday edition of the Dallas Morning News. But the always boring editorial section decided to dog our State Rep. Phil King. It's worth repeating. Why? Because it's Christmas.
24 comments:
Clearly a liberaly slanted editorial. Case in point. (And businesses already pay most of our state's sales taxes.) If you believe this, I have some ocean front property in Amarillo I will sell you real cheap. Here is the straight skinny for liberal weenies that believe this crap. Businesses COLLECT most of our state's sales taxes. If you buy their products or services, the tax that they have to pay is included in the price you have to pay. If their taxes go up, guess what? So does the price of the goods or services. You can thank me later for the lesson in economics 101.
10:28, you might want to enroll in economics 102. Businesses do pay most of the sales taxes in Texas. They purchase goods and services upon which they have to pay sales taxes. Go ask someone who builds a restaurant and then operates it about sales taxes. Go ask a corporation that buys a couple thousand computers to set up its offices in Texas about sales taxes. These are the same businesses, by the way, that hand out paychecks that make it possible for individuals to be able to buy taxable items in the first place. And around it goes.
Newsflash 10:28 -
1) Editorials are opinions, so of course they are trying to convince you of something - just like we do here so often.
2) Dallas Morning News editorials usually have a conservative slant - I can't recall them ever endorsing a Democrat for president & they are big supporters of Ric Perry.
3) Go find an economics text & you will find that a sales tax is a regressive tax - it takes more from the poor than the rich. - You fail Econ. 101. - 6:11 AM
Barry, did you just have to call King "our" state representative?
We know who he really represents.
Himself. - 6:38 AM
So, what is your brilliant solution? Certainly not for the Government or Schools to spend less money?
None of us think Phil King is doing a good job representing us, but he's a republican in Texas...so it'll be easy for him to win again...unless we remember this and do something about it. Don't forget to vote in the Republican primary.
The solution is to get mad and get active! All levels of gov are spending too much. It is about nest building at our expense. But how many citizens are at school board meetings, city council meetings etc. We get what we deserve. We choose national people by some sort of beauty contest or worse, pulling the lever for the party instead of the individual. Someone's ox has to be gored to provide for the needed services, but there should equity, and accountability all along the way.
I smell a State Income Tax coming. I realize it's not popular and I agree but when we continue to put the same people in Austin year after year the money gets treated the same, if not worse, year after year. This has been coming for a long time because the boy's and girls in Austin don't want to do anything different. When "they" do they will experience a depletion in funds like the rest of us. Our tax dollars don't provide their true income. Big Corporations provide their income, i.e. TXU and Phil King maybe. We are the only ones who can change the "big game" or "Joke" from Austin to Washington. We have Lawyers making laws. Wake up America and think about it.
Two thoughts:
1) I don'tthink we can afford to leave King in office until Jan. 2009; can we recal him NOW!?
2) Look @ the schools; I bet you they have more coaches hired to "coach" and fewer to "teach" and yet any time yuo go on campus, they are all piled up@ the "field house", if they are on campus at all. And this goes double for the over-paid "athletic directors". Once football is over, they do little more than sit around on their "laurels". - 9:40 AM
Anytime a business is hit with a tax increase, they don't just absorb it. They pass it on to you, so it is the consumer that ends up paying. Econ 101 dumbed down for posters 2 and 3. Your welcome.
Interesting comments 9:40. I'd like to see some folks sit on school boards who are more interested in educating our kids than getting them to practices early in the morning and staying out late at night playing ball, thus going to school tired. Go figure: if they don't pass they don't play.
Sports are priority in schools and in America.
We are the ones who will change it. Phil King home schools his children. What does he really know? - 10:07 AM
8:07 - amen to your post!
I'd like to ask any person running for public office this question.
1. Do you know how to efficiently handle your own money whether you have a lot or a little of it?
If we are going to elect folks to handle OUR tax dollars, we should know if they did a good job of that on their own personal budgets. - 10:22 AM
9:12, "we have lawyers making laws"?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Are you kidding me?
Phil King may be a lawyer, but the days when our legislature was dominantly occupied by practicing attorneys is long in the past. The number of actual "lawyers" now making our laws has diminished greatly in the past 2 decades.
And THAT is the problem. Lawyers, at least, are (supposed to be) trained how to think about the practical ramifications of laws, and how they are supposed to interrelate with one another in a sensible manner. Too many of our laws now are written by non-lawyers trying to address some anecdotal complaint of their brother-in-law's ... without any real notion of how they're mucking up the system with unnecessary complications.
And those complications??? They wind up making money for lawyers, who have to take their clients through more of the judicial process in order to get rational interpretations of these screwy laws.
But that doesn't mean that lawyers think our legislature is their friend. Ask most lawyers about the Texas legislature these days and you'll get the same response you get from most folks: rolling eyes and muttering under their breath about incompetence and corruption. - 10:22 AM
I have a lot of respect for a good caring lawyer and feel he or she deserves every fee they assess.
But then, there are the others whose stupidity give the good ones a bad name.
We know who they are and who hires them.
Money does talk. - 10:38 AM
Ask any lawyer, and they'lll tell you that they wish the legislature met once every FOUR years, instead of once every two years!
Hey you Republicans!! Correct me if I am wrong but didn't (Ann) say "The Lottery will pay for the schools!"
No, Actually Ann said the lottery money would go toward the schools.
And because it wasn't designated the following legislature designated it to go towards school.
No one ever thought it would totally fund our schools. - 1:41 PM
We can't seem to find people to run for public office who really do care about educational concerns, so we just shut our eyes and choose the best of the worst at the ballot box, at least on the state and national levels.
But locally, we can make a difference. Letters to the editor, letters to school board members and attending sessions in Austin having to do with educational concerns can make a difference, if enough of us band together. Bunches of Chico parents met before the school board to defend Pete Hart (a really nice guy) and the athletic program. We should be willing to do the same to defend our hard working teachers.
Is it any wonder more parents are home schooling these days?
They are fed up with our tax dollars going for mega sports complexes and coaches, while the public school teachers take pitiful salaries and put up with many out of control kids whose parents blame the school for everything from hangnails to obesity.
It won't change unless we demand it. - 2:30 PM
A higher sales tax would be a lot easier on low-income homeowners than the school taxes they already pay. I just paid $600 in taxes to North West. Given a choice, I'll take a higher sales tax any day.
http://www.texansforfacts.com/ - 3:22 PM
10:07 - I agree. It seems incongruous that a man who has not sent his children to public schools should be writing laws about funding them. Maybe his interest is elsewhere.
What is crazy is that he has received contributions and support from public school teachers. Maybe we should all do more research before we vote or contribute.
How many of you have received his Christmas cards which indicate that they were paid by the King campaign? - 4:34 PM
I can't stand Phil King, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Oh and by the way, a state income tax wont bother me one bit! I'm retired. - 10:17 PM
I know a great Democrat to run against King. I think they would do an honest job representing the people if nothing more.
Barron somethingorother. - 2:07 AM
4:34 - we received one of his Christmas cards too. Not impressed.
I just hope the guy from Weatherford can knock King off of his self centered throne. - 3:33 AM
Sales tax is a transaction tax. the transaction is taxed basded on the amount of purchase. trust me on this its my job to know. i work for the state comptrollers office. most sales tax is paid by consumers. If a restaurant buys a piece of equipment it is a one time purchase. How many items of clothes do you buy over your lifetime. You can only pay sales tax if you have the money to buy something. these are the facts. editorialize them as you wish.

The quote on the cover of the 2010 version of the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition actually comes from a post Crecente wrote earlier this year on the 2009 version of the book. The full quote is "With entries for professional gaming, top selling games in history, the history of hardware and Guitar Hero, the Guinness World Records 2009 Gamer's Edition looks to be a must have for fans of gaming." And it did look to be such, before they started making up records like 'Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever.' Still, the book does feature a number of more tangible and less marketing-focused records, so it's still the perfect bathroom reading book for gamers. Let's see them use that quote.

QUETTA, (Dawn): One Frontier Corps (FC) man was killed and another was injured in a bomb explosion in Balochistan province's Bolan district on Saturday, a security official said.
Khan Wasey, a spokesman for the FC, told Dawn that a security forces' vehicle was on routine patrolling when it was attacked in Bolan's Dhadar area in the morning.
"A loud and powerful explosion was heard in the area. It appeared to be a remote-controlled blast," Wasey said.
He said two FC personnel inside the vehicle were seriously wounded as a result.
Subsequently, one of the two wounded succumbed to his injuries on way to a hospital.
The bomb also damaged the security forces' vehicle.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
However, Wasey said he suspected that the attack was the work of Baloch separatists operating in the area.
Bolan is considered to be among the sensitive districts of the southwestern province where separatist militants have been targeting power pylons, gas pipelines and other vital installations.

Depression is common in our culture. The two basic approaches I use are to identify the source and go back with the client to help heal the wounds that may have fostered the depression and, if warranted, to seek medication to lessen the symptoms. Body work can be very helpful in treating depress--identifying where it may be located and finding ways to release the cellular memory.

Feeling hopeless and alone is an awful place to be. When you're depressed you don't feel like doing anything or talking to anyone. You know things need to change, yet you can't find the energy. Most of us go through periods of depression for all sorts of reasons. For some, the depression doesn't pass and help is needed to lift the sad feelings. Therapy can give you the tools and support needed to overcome depression.
Sevierville 37862
Depression is a common but serious condition that is highly treatable. Depression can make everyday activities seem unbearable, things that used to be enjoyable lose value, and comfort may seem difficult to find. Depression can often interfere with relationships and responsibilities if left untreated. There is hope for regaining your love for life, happiness, and comfort. You are capable of growth and worthy of happiness.

The cheapest sandwich on the list, predictably, is the classic bologna. This depends on the type of ingredients you use, naturally: organic whole-grain bread and the fanciest bolognas will bump up the cost just a little bit. That applies to all sandwiches, though. Or all food.
The bacon-crazed Internet will be sad to learn that the bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich comes in as the second most expensive. Sad, but not surprised: after all, it includes both bacon and fresh vegetables. The most expensive sandwich is the tuna salad sandwich.
The cost per sandwich depends on a few other factors, though: like what you consider a "serving."

Khronos Releases OpenMAX AL Specification for Application-level Video, Audio and Image Processing
Brings Extensive Media Playback, Recording and Processing Functionality to Any Platform and Operating System; Integration with OpenSL ES for 3D Sound in Multimedia and Gaming Applications
January 18, 2011 – San Jose, CA – The Khronos™ Group (Beaverton, OR) today announced it has publicly released the OpenMAX™ AL 1.1 specification, a royalty-free, cross-platform C-language API (Application Programming Interface) for high-performance multimedia applications on mobile and embedded devices.
OpenMAX AL (Application Layer) enables native applications to be portable across multiple operating systems and hardware platforms by providing an extensive application-level API that enables high-level abstraction for comprehensive audio-visual media functionality. OpenMAX AL allows applications to run on both hardware-accelerated systems as well as software-based media solutions.
OpenMAX AL provides the ability to create and control player and recorder objects, connecting them to configurable input and output objects. Inputs and outputs include content readers and writers, headphones, loudspeakers, microphones, display windows, cameras, haptics, broadcast radios, LEDs and many other types of A/V devices.
OpenMAX AL has been designed by many of the leading industry audio, video and photography experts across a range of industries to provide access to a broad array of media functionality, which includes:
- Media playback: Includes playback of PCM audio, encoded audio, MIDI ringtones, UI sounds and encoded video and image content as well as extraction of metadata embedded in the media content. Video playback refers to support for synchronized audio/video playback. Image playback refers to the decoding and display of compressed image data.
- Media recording: Includes support for the recording of audio and video, as well as image capture. Video recording refers to support for synchronized audio/video recording. Image capture refers to camera functionality.
- Effects and controls: For audio, this includes support for general controls such as volume and balance, and music player effects such as equalizer. For image and video, this includes support for gamma adjustments and controlling the brightness and contrast.
Optional functionality includes:
- MIDI: Includes support for SP-MIDI, mobile DLS and mobile XMF.
- Analog Radio: Includes support for analog radio tuning as well as support for RDS/RBDS content.
- LED array: Includes support for controlling multiple colored LED arrays.
- Vibration device ("vibra"): Includes support for controlling vibration device intensity and frequency.
- A Digital TV (DTV) extension (see separate Khronos announcement, January 18, 2011)
This version of the API has specific provisions for deep integration with OpenSL ES™ 1.1 (also announced January 18, 2011 – see separate Khronos press release) to enable mobile multimedia with 3D sound, as well as standard stereo and even MIDI for older-generation mobile devices.
OpenMAX AL has audio features such as an analog radio tuner and RDS, and video and image capture/rendering features that are not part of OpenSL ES. Similarly, OpenSL ES has advanced audio features such as effects (reverberation, stereo widening, bass boost, etc.) and positional 3D audio that are not part of OpenMAX AL.
OpenMAX AL is the highest layer of the OpenMAX family of APIs for multimedia acceleration and application development. In addition, Khronos also provides the OpenMAX IL (Integration Layer) API that defines a low-level abstraction to codecs, file manipulations, transformations and peripheral components on a system.
The OpenMAX AL specification is immediately available for download at http://www.khronos.org/openmax/al/ and may be used royalty-free by implementers and developers. A paid Adopters Program for OpenMAX AL is also available immediately at http://www.khronos.org/adopters/ which provides extensive conformance tests to ensure cross-implementation consistency and a trademark license for conformant implementations.
A number of leading companies have worked on the OpenMAX AL 1.1 specification, including: AMD®, Creative®, Ericsson®, Google®, Nokia®, NVIDIA®, Qualcomm® and SRS Labs, Inc. A full list of the OpenMAX AL Working Group members may be found at http://www.khronos.org/openmax/al.
"OpenMAX AL represents a cornerstone effort by Khronos to standardize multimedia portability across any mobile device. OpenMAX AL and its integration with OpenSL ES bring a rich new multimedia and audio foundation for developers to build upon," said Yeshwant Muthusamy, a Technology Manager at Nokia® and Chair of the OpenMAX AL Working Group at Khronos.
"OpenMAX AL allows applications to take advantage of the powerful underlying streaming media engine without having to deal with the complexity of the system architecture," said Erik Noreke, Chair of the OpenSL ES Working Group and an Independent Standardization Specialist. "OpenMAX AL allows application developers to focus on building an even greater user multimedia experience instead of spending time navigating the intricacies of the underlying system and porting between platforms."

There are certain people in the world whom I detest intensely. When I hear of these people, I get really irritated and bad-tempered. People such as Britney Spears and Paris Hilton for example. I am getting more and more annoyed with the ongoing media drama of Britney in the hospital or Paris flaunting herself wherever there is a camera.
So whenever they popped up in my RSS reader, I would be hitting the delete button rather aggressively. After writing about how to block undesirables from your Google News page, I then decided to see if there was any way to block them entirely from ever appearing in my RSS reader again – and there IS! It's called Feed Rinse. Hallelujah.
Feed Rinse is basically a spam filter for RSS feeds. It takes your feeds and then filters them, depending on the rules you specify. You can tell it to allow or block posts depending on keywords in the post body or post title. It will then give you a special Feed Rinse RSS address which you can then place in your RSS reader – and it's all free!
You can use this service to exclude people you don't want to hear about or exclude certain subjects that you are not interested in. Or maybe you don't want the posts from a certain blog author to show up in your RSS reader?
So let's start. After creating your account, you are faced with this :
You can, if you wish, create a channel if you plan to have different categories of feeds. But I just wanted to rinse away Britney and Paris from my CNN news feed so I just clicked on "Add Feeds".
You then have to enter the RSS feed you want rinsed in the box provided and press "import"
If the RSS address is successfully accepted, then you will see it on the page under "Your Feeds" :
You then have to click on the "set up rules" button on the right hand side to start specifying what you want terminated :
Try and choose unique keywords that will block the right posts. If you are too vague, then you may end up losing posts that you would want to actually read. Remember to save all your changes.
When everything has been configured the way you want it, it's then time to get your modified feed to put back into your RSS reader. Just click on "Get Your Rinsed Feeds" and then "Export Feeds". An OPML file will then be downloaded to your computer and you then have to use the "import" function in your RSS reader to upload the OPML file.
Once your RSS reader accepts the OPML file, you will then see your feed again – but modified to exclude what you told it to exclude.
Ah…..no more stories about Britney freaking out or Paris crashing her car. Absolute bliss!
Leave a Reply
It's not working at all.
Another way to achieve this is to use Pipes, I did similar to rinse a feed from the local newspaper so that it only gave me stories about the football team and not any of the other sports it reported on.

Computing Average Per Acre Indemnity Payments for Corn in Iowa
In 1996, two new crop insurance products--Crop Revenue Coverage and Income Protection--were introduced to insure against losses in revenue, as opposed to the traditional multiple-peril crop insurance that insures against crop yield losses. Using yield and price difference distributions in 1,000 simulation runs, the corn yields for all 99 Iowa counties and futures prices were collected. Estimates of average per acre indemnities for all three insurance products at the county and state levels are presented.

During the UBS Building and Building Products 6th Annual CEO Conference, Meritage Homes president Steve Hilton stressed his commitment to see Congress pass the Fix Housing First stimulus plan to get the economy rolling again.
After running through the company's third quarter numbers--sales orders were down 29%, average home prices were down 8%, and total sales volume was down 35% with a cancellation rate of 40%--Hilton said Meritage will sustain through the downturn, but expressed his belief that Congress must act for the sake of both the industry and consumers.
"I don't believe we are headed for another Depression, but something needs to be done," Hilton stated, adding that such a stimulus would go a long way toward restoring confidence and giving consumers an incentive to buy.
The company is focusing on managing its cost structure to closely match revenues with a goal to break even before impairments and taxes come into play.
"We won't access our credit line until we return to profitability and we determine the market is improving," Hilton said, adding that the company is sitting on zero bank debt after paying its existing debt back with positive cash flow and building a significant cash position. Meritage expects to generate significant positive cash flow into the fourth quarter and beyond.
"As we close [on standing inventory], we will reinvest only a portion of that money into new lots and communities, but only when conditions improve," Hilton said. Meritage is also sitting on $80,000 to $90,000 in tax refunds that will become available in the first or second quarter of 2009.
Meritage holds a land-lite position, owning just over 9,000 lots after reducing lot supply by 60% from peak. This puts the company at a 3.3-year supply.
Meritage has shifted its focus to future first-time home buyers. As Hilton noted, 20% to 30% of the builder's current offerings address that buyer segment.
"We have retooled our floor plans in the Western U.S., and we are standardizing everything to be more efficient," he said.
And opportunities to acquire land at distressed prices in order to meet future demand are already in the works.
Meritage recently purchased lots in Arizona and Florida for "a fraction of the cost, in most cases for less than it costs to put in the horizontal improvements, such as streets, roads, and utilities, with no residual value for the land," according to Hilton.
But as Hilton pointed out, a significant barrier to land deals is that banks have yet to mark the land on their balance sheets to market.
"We have to be patient, understand, and believe we are at the bottom. Then we will see deals," he added.

MAX-BULK vs. BULK-UP
MAX-BULK vs. BULK-UP
MAX-BULK vs. BULK-UP
So whats the difference between BULK-UP and MAX-BULK you ask??
Well, lets get straight to the point; the refined combination in MAX-BULKs Advanced DHEA Complex has a precise balance of 4-DHEA and 19-Nor-4-DHEA enabling it to have lower androgenic activity. With lower androgenic activity; this can produce a more mild and reserved demeanor from you and overall less possible side effects like: prostate, hypertrophy, irritability or hair loss (e.g. DHT) (10,19).
However BULK-UPs Advanced DHEA Complex is meant to support a more aggressive feeling with its synergistic balance of: aDHEA, bDHEA and 4-DHEA. Allowing for more strength through its aggression. So you see while both serve a function and provide near results, each provides its own strength. Are you The Calm Gainer or The Aggressive fighter? - 01-09-2013, 08:14 PM

Last Night: English Beat, RX Bandits at The Grove
In the decades since the sounds of ska infiltrated Orange County, the local music scene has definitely gone through some changes. Live music junkies have been left to fend for themselves in a sea of emo, screamo, hardcore and other intricately titled audible slop.
But last night at The Grove in Anaheim, things were sunny side up again. Ska legends, The English Beat, were good enough to drop in and give us a taste of what we've been missing. Add to that a brilliant set by progressive ska heroes, Rx Bandits, and you've got yourself a real fine show.
Before either band took the stage, the scene on the front patio was alive and kicking. But mostly, they were trying to stay warm under the outside heating lamps. Clusters of sharp dressed teens in black vests, thin neckties and trilby hats fumbled around in front of the outdoor side stage where a Long Beach ska band hammered out a solid brass wailing set that got plenty of attention.
It was great to see the diverse all-ages atmosphere of 'Beat fans old and new. It kind of looked like a bunch of parents and their skanker kids sneaked out of the house and wound up bumping into each other at the same show.

Rx Bandits took the stage around 8:30 p.m. to a pit of rabid fans. The band has always been known for their dynamic live show and last night was no exception. Matt Embree (vocals/ guitar), Steve Choi (guitar), Joe Troy (bass) and Chris Tsagakis (drums) ignited their audience with some of the best stuff from their last three albums.
Within a few songs, a swirling, sweaty circle pit was causing some of the older folks to either back up or break a hip. Blue and red strobe lights exploded like bomb blasts on stage during songs like "Sell You Beautiful," "In All Rwanda's Glory," and even the ghostly rhythm of "Apparition." The band capped their set with a fire storm of guitar riffage during the song "To Our Unborn Daughters." By the end of it, anyone who had never heard the Bandits before should have cleared some space on the floor near them to bow down.
Though it seemed like almost an hour before English Beat got all seven members on stage, they were greeted accordingly with a solid roar from two generations of fans. Those that came to claim rude boy or rude girl status had plenty of reason to dust off their best two-step.
When it came to having fun, rambunctious toaster "Antonee First Class" didn't take no for an answer. The loud call and response energy he drained from the crowd had the vibe of a stadium hip hop show. Classic lines like "how many ladies want to have my two-tone babies" pretty much cemented his emcee credibility that night.
While English Beat's original front man, Dave Wakeling, had gained a few pounds since the '80s- so had most of the fans in the audience so I don't think anyone really noticed. Bellies aside, the guy can still put on one hell of a show. Backed by members Rythmm Epkins (drums), Wayne Lothian (bass/vocals), Fernando Jativa (saxophone) "Joffee" (lead guitar/ vocals) and Ray Jacildo (keyboard) the band never lost its footing during a blistering two-hour set that included hits like "Hands Off She's Mine," "I Confess" and "Mirror In The Bathroom" to name a few.
The band really brought the house down with their '80s anthem "Tenderness." Actually it was more like they brought the house up. By the time Wakeling had strummed the first few chords of the infectious pop song, over a dozen women were high-stepping, hip shaking and grinding random objects on stage. A few of 'em looked like soccer moms but hey, cougars should be allowed to have a little fun too- just as long as their kids are tucked in bed somewhere. The show didn't end until 1 a.m. At least for one night, the good old old days of ska were alive and well.

In India when you ask how long your food will take in a restaurant or when the train will arrive, the response is often, "Oh, it's just now coming." That can mean anything from a few minutes to a few days. I don't know how long enlightenment takes. I feel as though I've known Maharaji for many lifetimes, and I don't think this is my final lifetime.
It's as if Maharaji has been my father or mother forever, and the satsang, the circle of devotees, is a family of the heart that keeps coming and going, having reunions and going away, but over many lifetimes. We all have different guises and costumes and appear on stage in different scenes playing different characters. We're all parts of the jigsaw puzzle of each other's karma.
I sometimes look around and wonder how this crazy troupe came together. But that's my ego, because as an ego I look at them as egos. This is Maharaji's show. Maharaji is like the director of the play. He's not one of the actors or puppets. He's the only one who has the whole script. And we're too involved in the play itself to remember it's just a play. The only thing that turns out to be real is his relationship to us as souls. Then that, too, goes and there's only One.
The script for this play of getting enlightened is already written. It's not in time anyway. And the moment you project a future, you're trapped in your mind again. You say, "Well, I'll get enlightened by next December," Then that changes everything you do until December, when you're going to have to give it up anyway. It's like when people say the end of the world is coming on a certain date. Then the end of the world doesn't come, and they're confronted with the fact that they got caught in their own minds.
You can only go at the rate you can go, and when you're done, you're done. The only thing you can ask is that you keep awakening at the fastest rate at which you're capable. You can't go any faster than that, and whether you think you're going to make it in this lifetime or not doesn't really make that much of a difference, as long as you keep going. Speculating just creates more thought forms. I try to just think about what I can do immediately to clean up my game. That's about all I do. I'm not preoccupied with the future.

Billy Edd's Book Store: Humor, Poetry & Fiction |
Laughter in Appalachia--A Festival of Southern Mountain Humor. The publisher says: "This is our all-time bestseller; it has outsold all 599 titles we have published in the past 22 years." Co-authored with Loyal Jones. Jokes about lawyers, hunting, doctors, alcohol and religion, and a speech about humor by the late Dr. Gordon Ross. Southern Living calls it "a delightful giggle-a-minute collection of yarns told simply and eloquently by mountain folks for whom humor is a way of life." From the book: World War II. A group of loafers around an Appalachian country store heard the news of the invasion of Normandy. They sat in silence for a few minutes, and then one looked up at the sky, which was clear and blue, and remarked, "They shore picked a good day for it." In its 13th printing. August House. ©1987. |
Paperback $9.95 |
Curing the Cross-Eyed Mule. Co-authored with Loyal Jones. More Appalachian humor. Over 450 jokes included in chapters such as Mountaineers and the Law, Health, Medicine, Religion, Moonshine & Other Spirits; plus humorous essays by Roy Blount, Jr., William Lightfoot, Jones & Wheeler. From the book: On Tippy-Toes. Chet Atkins told this tale about taking his brother-in-law, Jethro, to a ballet. Jethro had never seen a ballet, but was pretty impressed. "Well, how did you like it?" Chet asked. "Fine," said Jethro, "I loved the costumes and the dancing, and all, but how come everybody was walking around on tippy-toes? Why don't they just get taller people?" In its 11th printing. August House. ©1989. |
Paperback $11.95 |

The Library Journal said of this book: "Foolish husbands, numbskull farmers, and tricky politicians are just some of the comical characters readers will enjoy." "Loyal Jones and Billy Edd Wheeler know funny. They probably have the best ears for humor in the USA." --Chet Atkins, CGP August House. ©1991. |
Paperback $11.95 |
More Laughter In Appalachia. Co-authored with Loyal Jones. "The Deans of Appalachian humor present the sequel to their classic bestseller," says August House Publishers.

About children and kinfolks, Billy Graham and Chet Atkins, hunting and fishing, coming to Swannanoa, Warren Wilson College, golf, Cecil Sharp gathering ballads. "In the long shadow of Mt. Mitchell, highest point in the East, four crisp seasons keep me awed. The magic of smokey mountains and the miracle of children and their growing in this magnificent valley combine to give me a humility in my smallness and in my lack of answers, a thankfulness for the gift of life and love and an awareness of God. They provide me almost daily with an on-going high, some of which I've tried to capture and put into this book". --Billy Edd Wheeler. Wild Goose Inc. ©1977. (Limited supply) |

Song of a Woods Colt. Poems about Life and Love, West Virginia and Nashville, Music and other Essentials. $10. This book has popping muscles and sweat, sophistication and cosmic humor. It teases the intellect and philosophizes one moment, lies down in front of a strip mining machine the next. It is full of goodwill and outrage, affirmation and protest, hate and love. And music. It laughs and cries and loves. Mostly it loves. Described by some as West Virginia's answer to New England's Robert Frost, or as a Nashville Rod McKuen, Billy Edd is not a regional writer, any more than Frost or McKuen. He is universal. He loves mountains and mountain people, but they are his angle of attack, the subject through whom he addresses the greater family of man. Droke House. ©1969. |

A Song to Kill For (Original title: Star of Appalachia). Gabriel Leatherwood hears his original songs on the radio. Puzzled as to how they got recorded, he sets off from Cold Mountain country and heads for Nashville to solve the mystery. Unable to find a lawyer willing to take on powerful TennExas Music, he infiltrates the company and winds up writing with veteran songwriters whose names are on his stolen songs. He falls in love with lawyer Angelia Belmont, and the discovery they make of murder, copyright theft, and corruption puts their lives in serious jeopardy. Gabriel's grandmother Verdie, who has been known to say, "I'd druther die at a man's feet than to be outdone by him," almost gets her druthers; and so does Gabriel. Infinity Publishing ©2003 |

Kentucky actor Hulett "Kudzu" Hinkle finds a part-time job with an agency in New York City busting petty criminals selling fake merchandise-names like Rolex, Nike, and Calvin Klein. Pretending to be a shopper in disguises such as a gaudy tourist, wealthy executive, even a hooker and bag lady, he fingers the felons and the cops move in. But the country boy is in over his head when he uncovers a network in Chinatown supplying slave trade to the Far East, an operation also smuggling plutonium to third world countries. When the local Tong sees through his disguises, Kudzu's acting loses its magic. With certain areas of the world in peril and his life in danger, an unlikely figure steps in to save him. Kudzu's girl friend is as gutsy as he! BookLocker.com ©2005 |
