After a spate of gripping and Ogging, I'm currently listening to some Flanders and Swann - absolutely marvellous!
my day (and iPaq heads up)
Meeting in Reading, which is the other side of London to me, and then some, so up at 6:15 (that's ante meridian, folks), and off the Witham station. It was only when I got there that I realised that there was a tube strike on today (yes, the very one to which RossBurton refers), but it was too late to start driving, so I thought I'd chance it. Got into Liverpool Street around 8:15, and started queuing for a taxi - they were few and far between, but I got lucky, in that after only about about forty minutes, the person at the front got into a taxi and was happy to share. The driver went down the line, and as I was going to Paddington, which was close to his passenger's destination, I got to go - five of us, in the end. Traffic not too bad, and I was there in about 50 minutes. First train cancelled, but second got me to Reading for 10:25 - only 25 minutes late. However, getting back was hell - Liverpool Street was closed due to power outages, and I spent over 45 quid's worth of time in the taxi getting to Stratford, the next stop on the line. The train was packed and late, but I sat opposite a couple of Compaq guys, who were playing with the latest iPaq - bluetooth to a GPRS phone, and very sexy. They suggested delaying to the 3970, which should have _much_ better battery life. Linux is, they assured me, in mid-port. Good news. Got to Witham around 1725. Thanks to Neill for warning me about Liverpool Street!
my evening
So, what's a guy to do after a serious day's travel in London? Go to see Minority Report, of course - which wasn't showing for an hour and a half (I'd arrived 10 minutes to late for the earlier showing), so went to watch Spiderman, instead. A little too much CGI for me, but quite amusing. Bugged by the ending, though - why does he have "nothing to offer" but friendship? Yeah, right.
Fallen Angel
Got home, wrote some more javadoc comments. Dull, but it needs doing. Floated the idea to some mates the other day, and it went down well, which pleased me. Also need to add time-stamping to the protocol. Then create a version for XML, then write up the protocol and the framework, then socialise it (raph, yes, that means you), then go for an RFC. Phew!
Sorry this is a bit long, but should have said: got a new printer (Epson Stylus C80) to replace the one I've given to Moo (Catherine). Took forever to get CUPS to see it, then to realise that I needed to install gimp-print, then realise that it's gimpprint-cups or something in Debian, then install that, etc.. But it's working now, and very good. Why, oh why is printing such a pain to set up?

It can never be said enough… the Scout law is your road map to Character. In leadership development we teach the Scouts to BE, KNOW, and DO. Simple ways for them to remember what it is that is expected of leaders.
The Scout law teaches us HOW to BE, WHAT to BE, and HOW to ACT.
These three words can be summed up by the word TEAMWORK. In Scouting we teach and live the Patrol Method. This requires us to work as a team, setting us up for the rest of our lives. Being a member of a team suggests that we will not let the team down, that we will shoulder our share of the burden, and that we will always look to the well being of the team before our own. This concept drives us to living a life of Selfless Service.
Friendly, Courteous, Kind and Obedient.
These four parts of the Scout law when put together guide us in what we should BE. Good manners and discipline will leave lasting impressions on those that we make contact with. A kind heart and a willing mind will take us to places in life that are purposeful and leave our mark.
To be Courteous, Kind and Obedient takes discipline. It will force us to move away from peer pressure and always do what is right. They will shape who we are instead of just being another face in the crowd.
Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent.
This is how we should act in our daily walk. Cheerful in everything we do, even when it is a task that we do not like. Thrifty, not only with our money, but as a steward of our resources. It will take a brave heart to make decisions in life. Decisions that will be hard and sometimes not popular. Remember that majorities are not always right.. Being brave and always doing what is right is more important than being popular or part of the majority.
Clean and Reverent in our thoughts, our actions, and our bodies. God made us in his image so the good book says… treat your body like it. Take care of your self. eat right, exercise and learn. Develop a relationship in your faith group. Gain a better understanding of who God is and why we are who and what we are in his eyes.
Doing all of this will shape you and guide you in your actions.
Using the Scout Law is a road map to Character. Living the twelve points will ensure that your life will be well rounded and headed in the right direction. Using the map to find your way will never leave you stranded or lost.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

STARKVILLE – So just what impacts would occur in Mississippi if President Obama and House Republicans can't avert going over the so-called "fiscal cliff?"
Generally and very simplistically, the "fiscal cliff" involves expiring tax cuts and across-the-board government spending cuts scheduled to become effective Dec. 31. If that date passes with no compromise on the part of the White House and Congress, what happens next?
First and foremost, the average Mississippian will pay higher taxes. But according to the Tax Foundation, Mississippians would pay on average $1,310 more in taxes annually (lowest increase among the 50 states) while Connecticut taxpayers on average would bear the largest increase at $5,783 in additional taxes annually.
For Mississippians, that would translate into an average tax hike of 3.15 percent. More than half the states would see a minimum $2,000 tax hike for the average taxpayer in their state.
Estate taxes will be a major change. Currently, federal estate taxes at a rate of 35 percent are due from individuals with a minimum net worth of $5 million and married couples with a minimum net worth of $10.2 million. Going over the fiscal cliff means that the "death" tax would then apply to people with a net worth of at least $1 million at a rate of 55 percent.
Second, federal spending will decrease and most analysts predict that private investment will decrease right along with it. The nation's stagnant employment numbers are likely to be exacerbated – and that would hold true in Mississippi, too.
Cuts in defense spending would hammer a number of Mississippi communities where Raytheon, Northrup Grumman and other defense contractors and subcontractors have manufacturing plants.
Higher taxes, even with Mississippi seeing the lowest increase in the nation, will put more pressure on small businesses and on retail businesses. In states like Mississippi where sales taxes are the dominant driver in government revenues, pressure on retail sales translates into stagnant or reduced government revenues at the state and local level.
Considering the impacts on Mississippi of going over the so-called cliff, one would hope that the saner path of compromise would be reached along the lines of the Bowles-Simpson deficit reduction plan made by the bipartisan presidential commission on the nation's debt and deficits.
Back in 2010, the co-chairmen of the commission (former Clinton administration White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles and former Wyoming Republican U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson of Wyoming) told the nation's governors that current budgetary trends constituted "a cancer that will destroy the country from within" unless Congress and the White House takes action.
The basic premise of the Bowles-Simpson plan was that present federal revenue is consumed by the obligations of three federal entitlement programs: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
"The rest of the federal government, including fighting two wars, homeland security, education, art, culture, you name it, veterans – the whole rest of the discretionary budget is being financed by China and other countries," Simpson said. Bowles has said: "We can't grow our way out of this."
Significant tax hikes without significant spending cuts – including entitlements – won't avoid the more ultimate and ominous "fiscal cliff" that threatens the U.S. in the longer term.

UNV: A symbol of global solidarity
Jen Paton is a UN Volunteer working with the UN Office for OCHA in Khartoum. To mark International Volunteer Day on 5 December, Jen spent a day at the Hope Institute for Teaching and Rehabilitation of Deaf Children, working with students to refurbish classrooms at the school.
"Spending a day outside the office with the kids from the Hope Institute emphasized to me the value volunteerism can have in society," Jen said. "It gave all the students an opportunity to participate in efforts to make lasting improvements to their school; inspiring them to work together in search of a common goal."
This dedication and sense of purpose captures the essence of what it means to be a UNV in Sudan. In her role working in OCHA's humanitarian financing section, Jen is faced with the daily challenge of ensuring that people's humanitarian needs are met "I feel privileged to be part of an organization working to meet the needs of vulnerable people across Sudan," she said.
The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme was established by the UN General Assembly in 1970. Today more than 7,500 UN volunteers work to support peace, relief and development initiatives across nearly 140 countries. UNV Sudan brings together almost 500 Sudanese and foreign volunteers, working across the UN system in community-based development projects, humanitarian aid activities and the promotion of human rights and democracy.
Solidarity and Common Purpose
Through volunteerism, UNV looks to foster a sense of solidarity by encouraging people across society to bring about positive change in their global and local communities. Founded on this idea of solidarity, UNV is a programme that transcends geographical, cultural and professional boundaries, instead uniting people through a common purpose to alleviate the scourge of human suffering.
Volunteering is about giving up your time, contributing your skills and standing in solidarity with others. It empowers all people, young or old, to participate in efforts to make a lasting, positive change to society. Over the past week UNV Sudan has put together a series of events aimed at highlighting the value of volunteerism.
"This week we have sent our UNVs out into the community to work with local people on worthwhile projects such as the renovation of a deaf school and juvenile rehabilitation centre," says Nota Sarafoudi, the UNV Programme Officer in Sudan. "We hope that these projects will empower young people to use their energy, creativity and talents to bring about positive changes in their communities."

Chevron (CVX) warned investors late on Tuesday that it's third quarter earnings would be "substantially lower" than second quarter results. The company's upstream and downstream results have been hurt by a fire at a California refinery and by Hurricane Isaac, which caused Chevron to shut down its Gulf of Mexico operations.
The company's production of oil and gas fell to 640,000 barrels per day in the first two months of the third quarter from 659,000 barrels per day in the second quarter. U.S. output had already been trending down for the past few quarters.
Chevron did point to a turnaround in the fourth quarter.
"The company expects increased production in the fourth quarter 2012 compared to the third quarter 2012, reflecting the completion of planned turnarounds and restoration of shut in production in the Gulf of Mexico."
Crude oil futures are trading slightly lower this morning, and the overall market is off by about 0.3%. Chevron is down 3.4%, ConocoPhillips (COP) is down 0.6%, and Exxon Mobil (XOM) is off by 0.5%.
Chevron expects to report earnings on November 2.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Salmon Chaser
Actually nate i do have one more thing to add,, two actually. The first is to try and fish off of the reel as much as possible(ever see a guy fishing with 30' of loose coils around his legs?) or better yet, 10 coils in his non rod hand
Fishing off the reel will up your odds alot!
The second is to beg, steal, lie, cheat,, wait dont steal,, but everything else is o.k. to get you on three private pools anywhere on the Miramichi. If you have been offered do not turn it down as this chance may not come again.
And lastly,, dont wait for a fishing buddy to materialize,, fish every day that time and finances allow,, and besides, fishing buddies are overrated
Best of luck this summer
Salmon Chaser
chris, wow system overload. the more i am online learning about flyfishing the more i realize i have to learn. great info and help buy the way.
i am not really sure how much time i will get on the miramichi this summer. i am having a hard time finding a fishing buddy that goes after brights let alone black salmon in the spring, and i would prefer to go with somebody that is somewhat of a pro so i can learn as much possible. I did find out from a guy i play hockey with, his father inlaw has rights too 3 pools just this side of doaktown on the miramichi and apparently 2 of them are fairly good pools all summer long, so who knows i may have to look into that. However I think i will consentrate more on the Cains River and fish for brookies and sea run trout for starters and try my luck with some pan fish, bass and maybe a few chain pickeral. I here the cains has a good fall run of salmon, so maybe i will get in on that too. I have always been a sucker for trout and fishing small streams where i am the only one with a rod for miles around. thanks again for the info, it wont be long and i'll owe you a trip over here for a few days of fishing.
chaser, or anyone else have anything too add?
Nate, ... SC has some great comments.
I think (IMHO), the more you chase after these beasts, the more you 'll learn that there aren't any rules 'cept :
1)respect the Salmon and
2)respect your fellow angler.
Other than that, there are lots of THEORIES, the rest is time on the water.
Case in point. Many switch to dries near the end of the day. I like to try some dries on a few pools during the mid day lunch break. 'ya never know ...
|Salmon Chaser
The real answer to that lies in time on the river. By that i mean if you spend enough time out there in all times of year and conditions, you will see that 1- they are impossible to hook. 2- they are easy to catch. and 3- they are sometimes easy and sometimes impossible to catch.
Ask questions,, watch how others fish through the pools,,, where the favoured lies are,, cast light,,, and WATCH YOUR FLY. Salmon will often enough hammer the fly as it hits the water so wait an extra second before turning to talk to a buddy or whatever. Follow your fly through the whole swing and you will know if and when anything happens. I learned this one early on and it has been sooo important to me over the years.
Another important thing is to make sure there is not a fish following your fly before you pick up for another cast. make a cast on a 45deg,, fly swings around to the dangle and i usually strip in until i can see my fly or twitch it and determine that there isnt a salmon behind it. Beleive me,, they are there more often than not.
Pinch your barbs,, just a suggestion as i firmly beleive that if you lose a fish to a de-barbed hook,, then it is something WE did wrong not the hook.
Hope this helped a bit and iam sure others will add there own take on it.
Good luck this summer Nate. Are you only fishing miramichi?? If you need some info on public pools just post up and I or someone else can help you.
Salmon Chaser
|chaser, i hear the brights in the summer are really hard to hook if u dont know what u are doing. how true is this?
|Salmon Chaser
Just around the corner!!
Soon boys and girls,,, real soon.
Bright salmon are just around the corner.

While the film is very suspensful and gripping, I do wish the script would have allowed for a bit more depth with the characters. Granted, we do get some information about some of the characters, but to me they felt too generic at times. What makes these guys tick and why? The film gets to the heart to the heart of the matter, but not enough. Still, this is a very intense film that has great cinematography and is a fantastic film depicting the Iraq War.

UHS recommends vaccine to prevent flu
University Health Services has recently seen an increase in flu cases and recommends that students, faculty and staff receive a flu vaccine if they have not already. Vaccines are available for free at UHS. Undergraduate and graduate students can make an appointment by calling 609-258-3141 or logging onto the MyUHS website. Faculty and staff can make an appointment at Employee Health Services by calling 609-258-5035.
University Health Services reminds members of the University community that the best protection against the flu and its potentially serious complications is an annual flu vaccine. It is recommended to get a flu shot as soon as possible because it takes about two weeks after vaccination for development of the antibodies that provide protection against flu. Students and employees also may obtain vaccines at their local pharmacy or through their primary care doctor.
Flu illness is currently widespread across the country. Flu seasons are unpredictable and may last as late as May. For more information on the flu vaccine, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website.
Please note the annual flu vaccine is not the same as the meningitis B vaccine being offered this winter to select groups on campus.

After a trip to Makoko in 2009, Adeyemi was inspired to improve upon the main primary school that served the waterside settlement. His design, which will accommodate 100 students, will use 256 plastic drums to keep it resting on top of the water, and the frame will be constructed with locally-sourced wood. Electricity would be provided by solar panels on the roof, and rainwater harvesting would help operate toilets. The school is nearly finished, and the entire cost should total around $6,250.
Projects like Adeyemi's could be the beginning of a trend followed throughout coastal Africa. "The building can be adapted for other uses, such as homes or hospitals. Ultimately, it's a vision that can be used to sustainably develop [African] coastal communities." said Adeyemi. While the government is reluctant to permanently establish the dozens of settlements in the city's waters, tentative backing has been given by local officials. In recent years, nearby cities in Lagos have been reclaiming the water using land pumped from the ocean floor. Adeyemi's strategy would work with the propensity for storms and rising tides to flood the area instead of fighting against them, setting a possible example for future developments in the country.

The problem is wiring isn't defined properly. It's not in the list of programmers. So it may have been done to fix a timing error, but introduced a bug with 100% failure rate. The stk500v2 simply works. When programmers.txt gets updated to define wiring, I'm sure it will fix everything. But until then, this is the only way to get it to work.

- Description
This is an SEM Nano Gigapan of an ant holding a fly in its mandible. This image came about when we found some ants this morning in the kitchen and decided to take them into work to image. While looking for other cool things to image I also stumbled across a very small fly that was dead on the table (you might not believe me, but the house we're staying at is actually really nice, and at least appears very clean). Lacking another container for putting samples into, we dropped the fly in with the live, albeit confused ants, saying "they probably wont eat it." Seconds after touching the bottom of the container, the ant you see here snatched the fly up and proceeded to hold on to it for not only the commute into the office, but also during a stint in the freezer, a move from the container to the SEM stage, and then while in a vacuum. That is dedication.
The ant and fly are magnified 400x and this image is composed of 288 pictures taken with the SEM. The ant is of the species Aphaenogaster occidentalis. You can see optical images of it on ant web. www.antweb.org/description.do?rank=species&name=occidentalis&genus=aphaenogaster&project=calants
This Gigapan is part of the NanoGigaPan project. Which is working to take big pictures of small things.

A week ago, Lloyd Hillier thought he'd have to close his Jungle Jim's restaurant in Happy Valley-Goose Bay because he didn't have enough staff.
But after Hillier went public with his plight, interested cooks began contacting him.
"I got lots of phone calls, as you can well imagine, and some cooks were very interested in coming in," Hillier said today.
"So, I was able to acquire three brand new cooks that will be arriving here later tonight. Nothing changes. We'll be open forever, hopefully."
One of the cooks is from the island and the other two are from the Toronto area.
Hillier said the Muskrat Falls project has made it impossible to hire locally trained cooks. In his 33 years in business, this is the first time he's had trouble hiring staff.
"Everybody here who's a cook, guess where they're going? They're going to Muskrat where they pay the big bucks," said Hillier, who pays his cooks between $14-$18 an hour.
"We don't pay the big bucks. I can't sell french fries for $25 a plate and pay cooks $40 an hour. I can't do that. If I do, I don't sell any french fries."
And federal government's restrictions on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program meant Hillier was unable to replace several cooks who are leaving Tuesday.
The rule that affected Hillier the most is the one that restricts businesses in areas of high unemployment from accessing the program.
Even though Happy Valley-Goose Bay has relatively low unemployment, Labrador is grouped with the Northern Peninsula and western Newfoundland when the rate is calculated, which increases the unemployment percentage for Labrador.
Hillier said the situation has been tough on his staffs. If he wasn't able to find any cooks, 25 employees could have lost their jobs.
Jungle Jim's may have been saved, but other businesses in the province are also facing a choice of cutting hours or closing doors for lack of employees.
According to advocates for business owners in the restaurant and seafood processing sectors, labour shortages — especially in low skill, low wage and entry-level jobs — have been exacerbated by changes to the foreign worker program.
"I think you're going to see a combination of a shrinkage in hours and higher prices," said Luc Erjavec, the vice-president of Restaurants Canada responsible for Atlantic Canada.
"We're very concerned with the fallout on a number of levels — on the business level, the employee level, the provincial level and ultimately on the customer level."
He said restaurants in the province generally work with small profit margins and paying more to attract labour translates into higher bills for restaurants and their customers.

Shares of Latin American online-retailer MercadoLibre (MELI) jumped 5.8% to $110.00 in after-hours trading after the company reported earnings following the close.
The company reported net income of $17.5 million for the quarter, or 40 cents a share. Not counting losses resulting from Venezuela's currency devaluation, the company would have reported a profit of $23.4 million, or 53 cents a share. Investors had been expecting a profit of 54 cents a share, according to FactSet.
MercadoLibre, however, reported revenue of $102.7 million in local currencies, up from $83.7 million in 2012. Analysts had forecast sales of $97.2 million according to FactSet.
"MercadoLibre was off to a good start in 2013," said Merado Libre CEO Marcos Galperin in a press release. "We saw volume accelerate across both our core marketplace and payments businesses, as we are meeting the growing demands of a quickly expanding base of users."
Shares of MercadoLibre had returned 32.6% this year through May 3, ahead of Amazon.com's (AMZN) 2.9% gain and eBay's (EBAY) 6.3% return.

up the mountains to the lodge, the scenery was spectacular.
The group of six hunters in my party arrived at the lodge
nestled in the tall pines of the Sierra Madres around 3:00
pm on April 22, 2008. Mike asked if we wanted to go out and
hunt for a couple of hours that first afternoon, or if we
wanted to unwind, get rested up, and head out early the next
morning. Any turkey hunter that travels that far is going
to give him the same answer we all did, "we want to go
hunting!". We stowed all our gear in our sleeping quarters,
which was a beautiful cabin with a gorgeous fireplace, full
kitchen, and all of the comforts of home. We all showed
back up about 15 minutes later, in full camo at the main
house, where the dining area was. We ate a quick bite, then
we were ready to go to the woods. I have to say that the
food was super. A sweet little Mexican lady was always in
the kitchen cooking. Everything was authentic Mexican food,
cooked on a wood burning stove, and all made from scratch.
My mouth is watering just thinking about the excellent meals
she prepared! We all loaded up and headed out. A couple
hunters left on four wheelers that were provided by our
outfitter. The rest of us were taken to the woods by
guides. Two hunters from our party, a couple of guys from
West Virginia, had gone on up to another camp on a separate
ranch about 2 1/2 hours past our main camp. Those two guys
didn't get to hunt until the next morning. So, there were
four of us that went hunting on this first afternoon of our
trip. My guide couldn't speak any English, but he knew
turkeys, and he took me to a beautiful spot. I'm sure most
of you are just like me and want to do all of the calling
yourself. The guide must have been used to that because he
cut the truck off, pointed which way for me to walk, and
waved goodbye. I just grinned, waved back, and loaded my
gun as I started walking away from the truck. I didn't get
100 yards from that truck and heard a turkey gobble! I
looked at my watch and the time was 4:15 pm. I hopped over
the barbed wire fence and entered the pasture. The place I
was hunting looked very much like Texas with mountains.
This was a mesquite flat. I heard the gobbler hammer again,
and began to make my way towards him. I was closing the
distance and looking for an open area that I could possibly
call him to. I walked about 100 yards and found an opening
in the mesquite. By now, he had gobbled about five times on
his own. I thought, "man he could be easy to call", and I
was right! I yelped to him on a WoodHaven Red Wasp mouth
call and he cut me off with a gobble! I waited
approximately one minute and yelped again, and he HAMMERED,
and this time he was much closer! So, I plopped down in the
shade of a mesquite tree and waited another minute and
yelped again...no answer. I yelped again...no answer. I
thought, "he's coming so quickly he doesn't want to stop to
gobble at me." Again, I was right. I was watching an
opening between two small trees where I thought he would
show up, and it wasn't two minutes after my last yelp and
there he was. He was in full strut, head solid white from
the top of his noggin down to his waddles. The sun was over
my left shoulder and shining right down on this beautiful
jet black bird with snow white tipped tail fan and rump
feathers that looked like the hand of God had reached down
and brushed them with white paint! I have never seen a
turkey as beautiful as this! He strutted out into the open,
and I was mezmarized. He would take three steps to his
right and drum, then three steps to his left and drum. I
could hear his wings scraping across the dry rocky ground.
I've never heard a gobbler make that much noise dragging his
wings in the dirt. He walked behind a small tree about 50
yards from me and I yelped to him, and he let out a
thunderous GOOOBBBLLLEEEE!!! He then turned back toward me
and strutted and drummed to within 35 yards of the beed of
my shotgun. I had patterned this gun in camp. It was a
Remington 870. RSO has plenty of good heavy hitting 12 ga.
shotguns for their guests so you don't have to worry about
fees and paperwork getting guns in and out of Mexico. I
knew this gun threw one heck of a good tight pattern. It
patterned so good, I was afraid to let this bird get any
closer for fear of missing him with a softball sized shot
pattern at close range, so I let him have it! He flipped
backwards, and I had just killed my first Goulds long beard!
I looked at my watch and it was 4:30 pm. This was the
easiest turkey hunt I had ever been on in my life. I walked
200 yards, on flat ground, called four times, and killed a
magnificent Goulds long beard in FIFTEEN MINUTES!!! When I
got back to camp, two of the other hunters had killed long
beards! Out of the four of us in the lower camp, THREE had
killed our Goulds on the first afternoon. Those Mexican
guides are the best turkey skinners I have ever seen. They
caped out our birds, Mike treated the hides with Borax,
bagged them up, put them on ice, and we all had turkey
fajitas that night, and man were they great! I spent the
rest of the trip filming and taking photographs of the most
beautiful terrain I have ever seen. That is mountain lion
country, and you could tell it the first time you laid eyes
on it. I went out with the hunter that hadn't bagged yet,
and videoed a few of his outings. I recorded some fantastic
footage of Goulds gobblers strutting, drumming, and
gobbling. The hunter who hadn't killed his tom, shot a
beautiful gobbler on the last morning of our hunt. I am
aware that RSO had a 100% success rate on Goulds kills for
their hunters this year. That makes three years in a row
that EVERY hunter that went with them killed at least one
Goulds long beard! If you get to hankering for a Goulds,
You should call Brad Fulk with Rio Sonora Outfitters. It is
an experience of a lifetime.
God Bless and Good Hunting!

9-year-old struck by suspected drunken driver
Girl suffers multiple broken bones, torn liver, stomach
MADISON, Wis. - Police said a 9-year-old girl was struck by a vehicle on Sunday night.
Authorities said she was hit on Vera Court on the north side of Madison at approximately 8:30 p.m.
Miracle L. Loyd, 34, of Madison, was arrested for causing injury by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle and operating with a revoked license, according to a release.
Neighbors and the girl's friend said she was visiting family for a barbecue and may have been running to a nearby ice cream truck when she was struck by Loyd.
The incident has parents in the area, like Blaise Foeuppe, concerned.
"Each house you see has a lot of children. People should really pay attention on this street 'cause it's full of children, " Foeuppe said. "If possible, maybe have some sign here saying 'Slow down, kids playing around,' you know?"
The child was conscious when she was taken to the hospital where she was listed in critical condition Monday night. She is in a medically induced coma while doctors treat a broken leg, five fractured ribs and a torn stomach and liver.
Her aunt Michelle Melchor, who lives on Vera Court, said neighbors have been concerned about speeding vehicles for a long time.
"It's crazy to think something like this has to happen in order for these people to slow down," Melchor said. " Slow down in neighborhoods where there's kids. It's really important that everybody just slow down."
But for now, Melchor said the family is coping as doctors treat her niece.
"It definitely could have come out worse but we're glad she's alive and fighting, 'cause that's what she's doing. She's such a strong girl so we know she'll get through."
Police said Loyd faces charges for causing injury by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle and operating while revoked.VIDEO: 9-year-old struck by suspected drunken driverMadison crime map

Hmm. Just had breakfast. Cornflakes and milk. Funny how similar and yet different things in the USA are. Corflakes are just the same. The milk is much the same (seems cows are a world standard). The bread is um... interestingly different. I have yet had a loaf of bread grow mould or go very stale. Perhaps I'm just not that fussy.
I get the feeling that after our civilisation has disappeared, and Earth is a blasted husk orbiting a cold star, there will be the occasional slices of fresh, unmouldy bread to show the past existence of the USA. How do they do that anyway? I wonder whats in it... Formaldehyde? Plutonium?
I get a bit bleak about the local media sometimes. I really need to find an american source of news that doesn't suck. Its seems like the media here are on a mission to seperate people. Every tragic event requires a scapegoat. Every controversial topic will only have the most inflammatory comments presented, and usually by members of a stereotyped community. Of course, only stereotyped opinions matching the community are presented too. Yech. What a joke. Everyone squished into little boxes to be kept hungry and let out into the arena every once and a while for a 30 second bite on TV.
I have come to the conclusion that the average fridge's contents provides enough information to do most imperial to metric conversions. My housemate and I spent a quarter of an hour (at least we use the same time) the other night figuring out how things converted by reading the labels of things in the fridge. Hmm. Maybe we should get more exercise. Staying up late with your head in the fridge probably is indicative of some sort of problem.
Have you ever noticed that a lot of stuff comes in weird amounts? You look at it and think 43.7g, ok.. must be a round number in ounces or something. Nooope. I wonder if there is some sort of conspiracy out there? A clique using prime numbers divided by PI as the basic unit of measurement or something...
I think for everyday use it doesn't matter what system you use. For real physics and engineering work there is no contest though. Try doing classical thermodynamics in imperial units. :-P
Hmm. I really feel the urge to play with some code, but I need a Linux box. Win98 isn't going to be on this machine for long. I need a decent development environment. And a DSL line. A table for this computer would be good to. Typing on the floor is icky.
Oh well... back to power web-surfing

Hysteria over Magnum
OK maybe the other way around. But it's quite possible given how good the bars are. Have you tried one yet? They're being offered to celebrities in the etalk lounge at TIFF and even they who, you know, don't eat for a living, are incapable of resisting. Our festival sponsor Magnum is also the sole sponsor of tonight's Hysteria premiere at Roy Thomson Hall. Directed by Tanya Wexler, the film features Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy, Rupert Everett, and Felicity Jones. PS. I've seen Hugh Dancy almost every night he's been here. SO pretty. And really quite a gentleman. Anyway, Hysteria is about dropping some science on the female 'O' and the early vibrator and being stuffy and English and really, really funny about it… back in the old days. Full Story

Really need your guidance please on treatment to save my gourami
My tank came down with a bad case of Ich on Wednesday (or that is when I very first noticed a few spots on my clown loach). This was the day after I found a Pleco I had in my tank after just three days, dead.
A bit of history....it's 20g and was set-up about 6 weeks ago, we thought it had cycled and had added over time 3 dwarf gourami, 2 rainbow fish, 2 bala sharks (I can already hear you all groaning and shaking your heads ) then two weeks ago 2 clown loach and finally the pleco. I now know that was all way too much too fast and am hanging my head.
Well cut a long story short it was all drama last week....Tuesday morning my nitrites spiked so 50% WC twice during day (dead pleco day), Wednesday afternoon my nitrates were off the scale and my nitrites were coming down nicely, so another 25% WC and by Thursday morning all was perfect on water quality.
I read on here about the Ich but because of where I live could not get a treatment that day and had a kit thermometer I could not adjust and no salt. Friday the clown loaches are both dead, the bala sharks are badly covered and we see some on my dwarf orange gourami, I get to Walmart (my only option) and pick up Jungle Ick Clear finally. Friday night we do the first treatment, Saturday morning both bala sharks are dead, not surprised as they were too far gone and I also now know they should never have been in a 20g tank.
Saturday morning there are no signs of Ick on any of the remaining fish (3 gourami - 1 neon, 1 powder, 1 orange - & 2 rainbows), Saturday night 2 more fizz tablets go in of the Ick Clear. The gourami are all staying close to the surface in the back corner (I know they are labrynth fish and understand this) so am not too concerned as I figure the treatment is knocking them. The rainbow fish are eating normally but the gourami are off their food.
Sunday the gourami when I get up (after working 14 hours Saturday so I could not get to a fish store) are all the same still, although the gourami will come out of their corner and move around now and then, they will not eat. So we drive 2 hours to a Pet Smart to get help, an adjustable thermometer, salt and a gentler Ich treatment. We come home with these and we start raising the temperature slowly to 82 (it was already kept at 78), plus we add 1 heaped tsp of salt per 5g dissolved in tank water (so 4 total). The fish are all the same but the addition of the salt seems to perk up the gourami are a little over the course of the evening. Before bed we decide on the basis of:
1. understanding and knowing the length of the Ich cycle
2. what PS fish man told us (he seemed knowledgeable)
3. it being over 24 hrs since the Ich Clear last went in
to go ahead and dose the tank one more time for Ich with API Super Ick Cure as this is now end of day 2 since we last saw evidence of Ich, and the treatment will last us through 48hrs which will get us past the 4 days. I then stayed up until 1am to watch my babies and ensure the new thermometer was accurate, it was 3 degrees off I discovered, so glad I did this!
This morning, all my babies made it through another night , the temp is stable at 82 , water quality is good the rainbow fish ate a little, the gourami x 3 did not and are all still staying together in the top corner but do seem just a fraction more active every now and then swimming around.
So this is where I am at....my water quality is good and has remained so throughout the treatment. No ammonia, no nitrite, 20ppm nitrate and ph at 7.4 (normal in this area). I am really desperate to save these remaining tough little fish so please tell me if there is anything you would do now or just continue to wait and pray.
Would it help to add a little more salt without a WC....I am currently at the 1tspn per 5g level so 4 in my 20g......would a little more help my fish fight through this or should I just leave the temp at 82 and everything else well alone.
I would be so grateful for any advice thank you.
And yes I have well and truly learned my lesson on small tank = small fish and have a QT tank, all from this wonderful site!

Hello Sarah and welcome to the forum. Sorry it could not be under better circumstances. At this point, hope and pray. You've given it a one-two punch on the ich meds. I would not add more salt. Putting the fish through two different meds, salt, and high heat might be a little overkill, though I'll let someone with more disease knowledge say whether this is bad or not. I won't say anything about the size of your fish other than fact that those rainbows are also going to get too big. The gouramis might be ok together but in time could show aggression. However I think that is for another discussion. Let's work on getting these fish healthy again.Increasing your biodiversity increases your stability.

Hi Compass, thank you and I also now know about the rainbow fish too thanks to reading on this forum! So far my gourami are all getting along but I spent a lot of time reading here last night and if they survive I will give them more places to 'territory' and hopefully avoid issues. I also do not plan on adding more fish without QT and very slowly and thoughtfully!
Sadly it seems I do not have a particularly knowledgeable lfs and I also think they are selling fish 'with issues', they are a new lfs and I really think the real motivation is there isn't anyone else closer than 2 hours away so it's a 'business'. A good lfs would have given me better guidance as I did ask for help on stocking and would have listened.
eh, I've yet to find an LFS that gave really good information on stocking and/or cycling. It is really up to us as hobbyists to do the research ourselves. I was in the same boat you are in now when I started. You'll get there.Increasing your biodiversity increases your stability.
You know what this tank needs? ........................ Crypts.
Welcome to the forum.
Ich may take weeks to cure, as it goes through several life stages and only one is susceptible to medication. Therefore, you should continue treating for about a week after the last sign of ich, and remain vigilant for another few weeks. A high temperature helps speed up the parasite's life cycle and minimizes the chance of any surviving ich organisms.
It also is a good idea to thoroughly wipe the exterior of the tank, and disinfect all your aquarium equipment to prevent re infection from ich "spores" that may remain on your tools.
Since it appears your tank is still cycling or has just completed it, you should constantly monitor ammonia and nitrite levels. If either rises above 0.25 ppm, change out water until the values fall below that. Make sure you compensate for medications removed by the water change.
Once your tank is stable, you should begin revising your stocking list. The gouramis will almost certainly begin fighting once they recover some strength, as they are territorial. Choose your favorite and return/rehome the other two. The neon tetra should be in a school of 8-10. The rainbow fish will most likely outgrow a 20 gallon and thus should also be re homed or returned.
Lastly, as you must've realized by now, keeping fish is vastly more complicated that most people make it out to be. It is extremely important to research everything you do and/or add to your tank to prevent bad situations from arising.
Best of luck.
I think the neon she was referring to is a color morph of the dwarf gourami.
@GouramiGirl - What are you using to filter your tank and did you make sure to take the charcoal out before dosing meds?Increasing your biodiversity increases your stability.

Whoops, thanks for the correction.

Thank you.....I am constantly monitoring the water quality. One issue is we are going on vacation next Monday for four days, nothing I can do about that now, so I am trying to get into the best situation I can before then.
I don't have a Neon Tetra, that is a Neon Blue Dwarf Gourami..... so far I have got lucky with those gourami, they have been in there 5 weeks together and were healthy with no issues, but I do have hiding places. Agree on the Rainbows completely and will try to rehome.
And you are so right on complicated.....but with the help of the forum I hope to get there

Compass....thanks for that correction.
It's an Aqueon Quietflow 30 and yes I did take out the charcoal filter, I also have a Topfin large round bubbler stone in there so plenty of oxygenation.
Thank you everyone for your help.....fish are still hanging on!
You are welcome.
For the vacation, most healthy fish can be fasted for a week without major effects, but considering what your gouramis are going through currently I feel doubtful. Would it be possible to have a trusted friend/family member come in and feed the fish premeasured amounts of food? Another option would be to get an automatic feeder. They are pricey, but get a good one and they'll be a good long term investment.
Whatever you choose to do, avoid at all costs those whitish "vacation feeder blocks".
They are known to foul the water, despite what the packaging says. Fish may not eat the unusual food, or alternatively, will gorge themselves in the first few days.


text: The pleasant rituals and formalities of tea drinking and card playing are literally cut into pieces in Marilyn da Silva's Rock, paper, scissors teapot. The rock of the children's hand game forms the teapot's body and spout, the scissors its handle, and the paper playing cards part of its lid; each element contributes to the sense of violence and menacing unpredictability that occupies this benign object. The work conjures the game of rock, paper, scissors and the behaviour that results from the randomness of its outcomes, freezing the relationship of these elements at a particular moment in time. The role of the unseen hand is ever present in da Silva's tabletop drama, whether playing the game, creating the illusion or being hurt by the result. The illusion is compounded when we realise that each element of the work is either forged from silver or roller-printed and painted – laborious processes in which chance has no part.

Vermona Perfourmer
The Perfourmer is a hands-on, real-time Quad Analog Synthesizer. It is a true analog synthesizer ideal for basses, leads, pads and effect sounds! It consists of four voices, each a separate synthesizer channel with its own VCO, VCF, VCA and LFO. Unlike conventional synths, each voice is treated as a separate or monophonic synth, each with its own knobs for tweaking. In fact, each synth channel gets 2 rows of knobs (that's 18 knobs per synth channel). Each of the four synth channels are identical. This method of synthesis allows users to create four totally different synth sounds which can either be layered into unique textural sounds or treated as separate multitimbral parts, such as a monophonic synth bass, monophonic synth lead and polyphonic pads.
Each synth channel consists of the following features and/or parameters: There is 1 VCO per channel with 6 waveforms to choose from plus a white-noise generator. Pitch can be adjusted +/- 13 halftones. There's a 4-pole lowpass resonant filter with variable keytracking and ADSR envelopes for the VCF and VCA. The VCA can also be modulated by the a fixed Gate envelope or the LFO. The LFO has four waveforms and can modulate VCO pitch, VCF requency cutoff, and the VCA.
The Perfourmer features some curious ways of linking the four synth channels together to yield some interesting results. Unison mode combines all four voices into a monophonic synth sound, great for creating simple to complex lead and bass sounds. Duophonic mode combines Synths 1 and 2 into voice no. 1 and Synths 3 and 4 into voice no. 2. This is ideal for creating two-fingered (duophonic) pads, like perfect fifths, fourths and octaves. In Polyphonic mode, all channels function as a 4-voice polyphonic for even better pads and textures.
Additionally there's also an FM mode where Synths 1 and 3 don't produce audible sound, but rather, function to modulate their neighboring channels 2 and 4. The Perfourmer can also be used as a 4-channel filterbank. There are audio inputs to the filter for processing external audio. Each channel has it's own individual audio outputs in addition to the stereo Main Mix outputs in the back of the unit. These output jacks double up as insert jacks for externally processing each synth channel. With some creativity and some TRS insert cables you can actually route signals between the channels, ie: send VCO1 from Synth 1 out into Synth 2 so that it is processed by both VCFs, VCAs, and LFOs in Synths 1 and 2.
MIDI is the main means of playing the sounds you create with this synth. However, four optional CV/Gate inputs (1V/octave) can be added for controlling each synth channel from other analog gear. Cutoff frequencies of each synthesizer channel can be controlled by MIDI, but not by CV. The lack of on-board program memory is disappointing. With over 72 knobs, being able to save and recall your favorite sounds should have been a no brainer...oh well. It's a perfect companion to the Vermona DRM-1 Analog Drum Synth.

My 7 mo old kitten Quazi likes to sit with me when I'm online and my wife took a picture of him last night I had to share.
Attachment 16639
Now tell me that isn't relaxed.

Hey now, put the cat porn in the proper thread.

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
That pic is so wrong.
And, yet, so funny.
That's my jacket!
haha I just noticed J K-E said it's a male cat. sorry dude.
Don't think I posted this yet, but here is a pic I took with our new dog, Sadie on January 20th when I was home for CLOVERFIELD and to dog sit for a few days. This is the first new dog we've had since our old one, Molly, passed away in 02, just five days short of her 17th birthday. We got her from a Golden Retriever rescue society and she's finally warmed up and comfortable with the house. She was found when she was several weeks old, wandering in the woods and wounded. She is a bit freaked out by some things. For example, when we pull out the broom to sweep, she backs away, so her first owner who let her lose was more than likely abusive. She also tends to get a big nervous during storms too. But she's much much better these days. An elderly couple had her before us and they couldn't take care of her anymore, so we took her in. She's a great pup.
I'm still rockin' the beard, but I did have to trim it down a bit this past weekend. I've had it since October and it will be removed in mid March or so. That's the plan at least.

Here's one of me in Vegas last December when we went there for Matt's fight. In the lobby of the Mandalay Bay, they had a small display of Matt's shorts, gloves, etc. and that's what we're standing next to.
I'm in the black H.I.T. Squad hoodie and the other guy is Ben, he used to be one of our moderators on Matt's forums, but he had to resign recently for personal reasons.

Victory Records Artists 2017 Warped Tour
"The first warped tour I attended was in 2005 and ever since it's always been my favorite tour of the summer,' explains CAROUSEL KINGS vocalist David Alexander. "So many great bands to be exposed to, and developing bonds between music fans of all genres. Being a part of it two years ago was definitely the best time of my life. To be part of such a historic, legendary tour, it feels surreal being back a second time." CAROUSEL KINGS are currently on tour in support of their latest release Charm City.
Texas metal rangers SHATTERED SUN are also joining the summer caravan, as the band recently finished studio sessions for their sophomore release. "So many great memories were experienced at Warped Tour over the years, from passing out in the heat raging to August Burns Red, to crowd surfing during A Day To Remember," relives front-man Marcos Leal. "We are extremely excited to be a part of this year's Vans Warped Tour and its phenomenal line up!" Guitarist Jessie Santos adds, "I know this tour will be a banger every single day. We'll be sharing our new tunes and old favorites with you so come on out and jam with us this summer!"

With their new album, Smash The Windows, in-stores now, THE TOSSERS have released a lyric video for the politically charged anthem 'Erin Go Bragh.' "Our voices resound through the halls of the town, all the way to the President's door," lashes vocalist Tony Duggins on the current policies of American immigration. "For me personally and others in the band, we have grandparents from Ireland. We grew up in Chicago, which has attracted a lot of workers from all over the world, not just the Irish, but Italian, Polish, Mexican immigrants and more. It's always been a part of our lives. The footage in the video is important because it has a lot to do with the song - it reflects what is going on in this country."

No, you don't have to turn your slow cooker upside down to enjoy this savory pot pie. Pop biscuits in the oven about 30 minutes before it's done, then serve the chicken mixture over the biscuits. Bottoms up!
In a rush, enjoy this as a hearty stew without the biscuits.
Stir 1/4 cup white wine into the chicken mixture, and bake frozen puff pastry shells in place of the biscuits for an elegant twist.

Jointly organised by CFA Institute and EDHEC-Risk Institute, the Advances in Equity Portfolio Construction Seminar aims to provide investment practitioners with the tools to better understand the limits and benefits of different portfolio construction approaches, and to discuss alternative index strategies.
This exclusive event is presented in a highly accessible manner by instructors who combine academic expertise and industry experience. It strikes a balance between exploration of new models and a study of applications.
Seminar Instructors:
Felix Goltz, Head of Applied Research, EDHEC-Risk Institute

Key Learning Benefits:
The seminar will enable participants to:
• Understand the limits of various portfolio construction tools; find out about the dangers of naively optimised portfolios and the benefits of robust optimisation.
• Review the state of the art in estimating risk parameters; discover how to achieve robustness of risk parameter estimates, and how to capture the dynamics of risk parameters.
• Review the challenges in estimating expected return parameters and learn about new approaches for estimating expected returns using parametric portfolios, risk-based estimation, and estimates implied from option prices.
• Study the limits of traditional equity indices; find out about the minimum-variance benchmark, equally-weighted benchmark, fundamentals-based weighting schemes and other new forms of indices; discover the objectives and assumptions underlying alternative indices and learn about model selection and hidden risks entailed in the choice of a particular benchmark.
• Discover how the different steps in alternative equity index construction methodologies contribute to investment outcomes. Understand alternative construction approaches for defensive equity strategies and fundamentals-based equity strategies.
• Investigate relative risk concerns when deviating from market-cap weights and explore approaches to manage model risk and peer-group risk.

Just found Arena Battle Playset & Republic gunship at Wal-Mart
in South Bend!
Found all of the new figures, except Ephant Man, tusken raider with massif and clone trooper pilot at the Shelbyville Rd., Louisville, TRU on Friday.
(I had the day off from work!)
The checkout guy said his store sent back 50 cases to the warehouse. So the new stuff is starting to hit.
Hey i've found the new anakin tatooine attack yesterday at meijers im still trying to find all the other new figs like maul, etc. seems like meyers is the place since they dont over stock like wal mart.
Good Traders= Lord Tenebrous, Brentfett, jonboy, cohens4, rynobot, btuck15,sith_killer_99,bobaphil,johnyhero,bount3hntr,evil j
Check out your local TRUs, guys. The Clarksville store got new shipments of figures in Wednesday, including the clone trooper pilots!!! The only one I'm missing now is Ephant Man.
Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got Ephant Mon..!!!!!
TUSKEN RAIDER with MASSIFF
(Clean Shaven) ENDOR SOLDIER
ALL at K-Mart.!!??!!!WOW!!
Visited one of the local Kmarts for the first time last night and damn! They had all of the latest figures, minus Ephant Mon, on the pegs. The downside was, $5.49.
I filled out holes in my collection on Saturday by price-matching Target's extra special value $2.99 price at Wal-Mart and TRU.
The Cargo Hold - Hunter Report for Friday, 12.13.2002
I went hunting for bounties in west-central Indiana [Terre Haute, Clinton, Brazil, Greencastle, Avon, Plainfied] and east-central Illinois [Marshall, Paris] on Thursday and Friday.
The new 12" assortment seems to be plentiful, every Wal-Mart and the TRU I ventured into had them.
Finally found a second clean-shaven Endor Soldier at Wal-Mart.
The two Targets I hit both had lots of Accessory Sets.
The Trash Compactor sets are easy to find in small town Wal-Marts. Each one I went to had two of each set, and I bought one set for now. I love classic Trilogy product, so I'll probably pick up another set on my next trip out. I did see something I hadn't seen since the Cinema/Movie scenes were in production - the Compactor boxes had slice marks from the associates opening the shipping cartons. Every Compactor set I saw had slice marks on the top or bottom of the box. I didn't see these sets at any of the Super Wal-Marts in the larger cities I visited.
No sightings yet of the Holiday Edition, which was very disappointing. I've even checked in the Christmas section hoping they might've put them there, but no luck.
Found that elusive scum Ephant Mon at a small Wal-Mart today! He was hanging on the end of a well-stocked peg, so they must have just put out new figures. The other figs were from the most recent wave, so I didn't find the new Jedi Council Yoda or Destroyer Droid. The bounty on Ephant was only $4.77, and well-worth it. The figure is huge! The bubble is longer than the other Saga figure bubbles so Hasbro must only be able to fit one Ephant into an assortment.
No new stuff in the south. The Target accessory sets are plentiful. The Christmas R2 and 3PO are ancient history; I was fortunate to get one.

How Do I Grow and Breed Brine Shrimp? Help Plz.
Hi folks, I'm new to this blog, forum, site? But I'd like to start a tank just for growing and breeding brine shrimp as a feeder food for my other tanks.
What is the best way to do this? Do they need aeration? I've read that the salinity should be between 6.0 - 9.0 density and that they need a heater too to keep them around 80 degrees F.
Can anybody give me any tips? I'm not just looking to do a quick hatchery. I want a tank that continually grows the brine shrimp to maturity.
Thanks for your help!!
Pretty sure you meant pH of 6 to 9 and salinity of 1.022-1.026 :-P
It's a start.
Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

Ross offers view of Middle East's future, Feb. 23
Posted February 16, 2006; 11:01 p.m.
Dennis Ross, a former U.S. envoy to the Middle East who played a key
role in Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, will discuss the region's
future in a lecture scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23, in Dodds
Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Ross, now a counselor at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, served as special Middle East coordinator under President Clinton and director of the U.S. State Department's policy planning staff in the first Bush administration.
His lecture, titled "What's Next in the Middle East," is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
For more than 12 years, Ross helped shape U.S. involvement in the Middle East peace process and dealt directly with the parties in negotiations. He was instrumental in assisting Israelis and Palestinians to reach their 1995 interim peace agreement and brokered their 1997 Hebron peace accord. Ross also facilitated the Israel-Jordan peace treaty in 1994.
Ross, who received the Presidential Medal for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service from Clinton, detailed his experiences in the 2004 book "The Missing Peace: The Inside Story of the Fight for Middle East Peace."

Details of Shawn Colvin and the Ticket Luck value
Are you ready with Shawn Colvin tickets to experience excitement and thrill that comes in a typical Shawn Colvin concert! The beautiful artist will be holding several concerts in various cities to treat her fans to her amazing music. The tickets to her concerts are selling out fast as fans hurry to make sure that they get the best seats.
Shawn Colvin is hailed as one of the leaders and forerunners of the music wave that was hailed as the new folk movement which started in the 1980s. Shawn Colvin started off in the music industry with her trusty guitar by her side. Critics were afraid that this will turn out to be a clichéd woman with her guitar combo that was already in abundance in the music industry. However she proved them all wrong and despite having a similar style, added distinction to her music through her creative and bold music. Shawn Colvin took care that she did not take the support of the formula based music that was all the rage in the music industry to gain success. Instead she created her own niche and carved out her name from there.
The artist's music knew no bounds and soon answered all the questions of her skeptics when her debut album got awarded with a Grammy for the 'Best Contemporary Folk Album' in 1991. Her claim to fame and the reason why she shot to instant success was her 1997 single "Sunny Came Home", which won a Grammy Award as well. Since then Shawn Colvin has many loyal fans which are growing in number every year.
Shawn Colvin had been a music fan since she was ten years of age. She learned to play the guitar at a young age and got encouraged by her father in her interest in music. Her father introduced her to different forms of music and from there she learnt to distinguish her favorite genres of music. Her first group was the Shawn Colvin Band, which was focused more on hard rock music. However, Shawn Colvin soon discovered that the energetic and loud music which was required to fit the band's persona was not her style and was spoiling her vocal cords. She quit the band and later joined a swing band which produced western style music. She experimented with various music styles until she found her calling and then eventually made it big in the industry.
Her first Grammy Award winning album "Steady On" came out in 1989 and took the music industry by storm. The album was full of emotions that were captured perfectly by her compositions. Shawn Colvin's tender and whispery voice is seduction, romance and love all at one. Critics have been quoted to say that her voice in this album haunts them, along with the beautiful melodies and smooth percussions. Interestingly, the arrangement of the compositions and the sequence that they follow is so smooth and easy that the listener likens it to be on some soothing, mellow ride. This album was a great look into Shawn Colvin's heart and declared her as a force to be reckoned with in the industry.
Shawn Colvin's latest album "All Fall Down" came out in 2012, after a six year break. This album showed off the growth Shawn Colvin had achieved as an artist and boasted of her musical maturity. The artist was clearly aiming to create something different than her usual style in this album and ended up creating a fabulous piece of music. Most of the songs in the album were co-written by her and tell the stories of people who work hard and struggle for fame and success. The album has a new depth as compared to her other works and is labeled as one of her better efforts.
Shawn Colvin's fans are hopeful that they will get to hear all of her hit singles live in these concerts. Buy Shawn Colvin tickets and have a great time.

Enjoy this tasty sweet potato salad that's ready in 45 minutes – a perfect side dish.
Why it Works: Concentrated Flavor of Jelly
For strong flavor, many chefs rely on the power of reduction. As stock, wine or fruit juice boils the chemicals responsible for flavor are concentrated and sometimes altered to result in a very strong sauce. Most people don't keep reduced stock or wine in their pantry, yet they do have jelly. Jellies, jams and preserves all begin with fruit juice that is boiled until it achieves a thick, syrupy consistency. Good-quality jellies and preserves deliver a sweet, concentrated dose of fruit with no work.
