Target: U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich
Goal: Applaud Senator Martin Heinrich for being the first U.S. senator to join a campaign that advocates marriage equality.
Martin Heinrich, a United States Senator, is the first U.S. senator to support the NOH8 (No Hate) campaign by participating in their signature photo shoot. This is a major step for a government official to be officially involved in a human rights campaign, besides publicly supporting the LGBTQ community verbally. Investing time in such a cause has proven to the Senator's supporters that his involvement with the LGBTQ community is sincere and focused on a long-term commitment.
Senator Martin Heinrich is the junior United States Senator for New Mexico. He was elected in 2012 and serves on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources, Intelligence, and Joint Economic Committees. As a Senator, Heinrich is an advocate for middle-class families, and he focuses on clean energy and treasured public lands. Senator Heinrich has previously paved the way for more legal freedoms for Native families and has now joined an ever-growing group of politicians to publicly support the LGBTQ community.
The NOH8 campaign is a charitable organization that works to promote marriage, gender and human equality through education, advocacy, social media and visual protest. The campaign started as a response to the passage of Proposition 8 (Prop 8) – the ban of same-sex marriage in California. Part of the campaign's visual protest is a photo shoot project that takes photographs of people with duct tape over their mouths symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world.
Senator Martin Heinrich is the first U.S. Senator to join the campaign and have his photo taken for the collection, which now has nearly 30,000 photographs. This is a unique statement of support from Senator Heinrich and should be applauded. Please sign the petition below to thank Senator Martin Heinrich for getting involved with the NOH8 campaign and committing to support the LGBTQ community and marriage equality.
Dear Senator Martin Heinrich,
You are the first U.S. Senator to have posed for the NOH8 campaign silent protest photo shoot. Your support of the cause is unique not just because you are publicly supporting marriage equality, but also because joining the campaign shows a committed effort to expand marriage rights to all Americans. You have also paved the way for other politicians to join the cause.
I want to thank you for your commitment to fight for marriage equality in the U.S. and congratulate you on being the first senator to join the NOH8 campaign.
[Your Name here]

Putting seeds aside, Asheville and Carver are the two best teams in the entire bracket and should meet in Asheville to determine the West representative in Winston-Salem. Both teams will have their fair share of challenges before the West Final.
After pushing over Southwest Guilford, Asheville will have to participate in what is growing into a huge mountain rivalry with All-American QB Jonathan Crompton and Tuscola. Sadly, Crompton is basically all that will give the Cougars a hard time.
Asheville will have to face yet another highly recruited player in Scout.com three-star WR Josh Briscoe in the third round. Briscoe is hoping to garner a Championship ring before heading to Tennessee, but that won't be the case. However, this game is on par with any Semi-Final or Championship game in the entire NCHSAA playoffs.
Carver will have an even difficult mountain to climb before they meet Asheville at the top. The Yellow Jackets will host arguably the toughest second round opponent in defending 3A Champions South Point.
After disposing of an inexperienced Red Raider squad, Caver will travel to Concord to attempt to dethrone the number one seeded Spiders. In an offensive match-up that includes QB Tommy Beecher and TB Shawn Moore, Concord's weakness on defense will prove to be what provides a Yellow Jacket win.
In a match-up that will put on display two of the states better rushing attacks, Carver versus Asheville will come down to defense and turnovers. Home field will serve as a slight edge, as Asheville earns an invite to Winston-Salem.
None of the teams located on the East could compete with any of the top five in the West, but that isn't going to stop them from trying.
Fike with Duke bound Re'quan Boyette leading the way is the odds on favorite to take the East. They should have a fairly easy path until they meet West Craven in the finals.
Before they host the Eagles, the Golden Demons will have to stomp on the Cinderella dreams of Nash Central (No. 9 seed), and White Oak (No. 13). Both these teams should upset opponents until the step foot in Wilson.
When Nash Central upsets Southern Wayne, it shouldn't be out of the ordinary as 8 seeds "upset" 9 seeds all the time. However, White Oak, a 13th seed I remind you, beating Kinston (No. 4) and Hertford (No. 5) will be pretty remarkable.
Regardless, Fike will be ready for each of those battles coming out of the third round unscathed.
West Craven will have a somewhat challenging road to Wilson, but be prepared for "Wilson Football" as the Eagles face Beddinfield and Fike – both from Wilson – in consecutive rounds.
In a close battle, rawness will put West Craven at a disadvantage, while home field and a rested roster will seal the deal for the Golden Demons.
In Winston-Salem, Asheville will be too much for Fike, resulting in a similar result of the Golden Demon's 2002 Title run – a 34-0 loss to Carver. Crezdon Butler will have an All-State performance catapulting the junior into his senior season with tons of recruiting interest.
Championship Game: Asheville 42 Fike 10
West Final: Asheville 38 Carver 35
East Final: Fike 17 West Craven 14
Sleeper Team: Burns
Top 5 Best Potential Match-ups:
Asheville vs. Carver
Asheville vs. Burns
Burns vs. Carver
West Craven vs. Fike
TIE Concord vs. Carver, Concord vs. South Point

Hi Danny,
I stumbled across this product yesterday and was a little overjoyed that Samsung released a dedicated PVR with twin Tuner.
I downloaded the manual from the Samsung website (which doesn't have a product page at the mo) and was dissappointed to learn it didn't explicitly state recording two channels at once.
1)Do you know if Samsung could/might be able to correct this with a future firmware update?
2) Is the Samsung better than the equally priced Sony SVR-HDT500 or Humax recorder?
I was thinking of purchasing the Samsung 37D6100 with this PVR, but I'm not sure now? Seems an oversight bearing in mind Sky/Virgin have offered a feature for over 12 months.
I'm amazed you gave this product such a glowing review. A PVR that cannot record two channels at once is as much use as a chocolate teapot.
Shouldn't we all be waiting for YouView boxes?
A twin tuner that can't record 2 programs at once! I didn't get past the list of cons. Not worth reading the review

There were request in the forum for more then one library.
I would like to put it a little further:
I have a distributed environment with more than one media server (a large server for archiving all older stuff, a xbmc media center in my living room with current media / tv recordings and recent dvd / br content, a NAS with other video stuff / TV shows etc.
I also have small xbmc boxes with no local media in my home - they just stream from the backend servers.
Not all of this media sources are turned on all the time. They can be fired up by remote Power-On signals and switch off when not in use after some hours or on a remote shutdown command.
One can have xmas movies on one NAS and Helloween / Horror stuff on another, or adult content on a 3rd. They would be seldom used sometimes - however I don't want them to be always visible in the library, but only when they are turned on, some of them even password protected.
It would be awesome, if each media server could have it's own repository of media information stored localy along with the media (thumbs, infos, database´s and everything needed to represent / feed the xbmc UI of the players), because the media and the meta data belong together and make no sense one without the other.
On the other side, the players recognize if a media source is online, and if - it automatically uses the remote database to update it's UI cache (front end xbmc boxes will show only available content). If another source goes online, the information is merged, if a source goes offline - the information is purged from the UI.
The backend systems could also take care for the scraping and updating of their databases. If they are just "dumb" NAS devices or usb hard drives, a central server instance could do the job for these tasks and delivers the mySQL engine / database of online available content and the corresponding share locations for the metadata / media currently available online.
This could allow a seamless plug&play integration in a distributed environment.
It also enables a common setup for all xbmc front end players and a 'start playback in one room, continue watching in another' - scenario... A dream would be a zero conf xbmc front end, booting from ROM or flash or over the network with no local storage at all. it would get a dhcp ip and would scan the local net for a xbmc server containing all config information, skins etc. from the repository.
Dynamic custom categories could filter then according to the needs of each user (smart filters, favorites...) based on profiles stored in the repository. Advantage: same custom, user specific UI in all rooms - whereever you go.
Most of the stuff needed is already there thanks to the migration to a mySQL based library. What is needed is a abstraction layer between content storage with library and presentation layer, that aggregates the currently available libraries / Metadata to the UI. This could be done as a windows or linux service, that polls all sources and updates the local SQL instance on startup and every 5 minutes or so if something changes on the network.
We have already abstraction layers there.
We got the data layer (called add source and supporting almost all network protocols available)
We got the metadata stored along with the media (using amber media manager)
We got also the (lokal) mySQL Database for search and categories like artists, genre, year etc.
We also have the concept of independant profiles with own configs and databases.
While allowing skins, we have a layer between this data and the presentation engine.
And finaly there is the media playback engine (based on mplayer) that plays back all this stuff on the frontend.
We also have the straming ability and the remote control stub using http servers.
But all this is running on the front end on a single machine.
So what is missing:
1. we need to migrate to a distributed database. The database parts must be stored together with the media on the data layer.
2. we need a aggregation database, that caches the currently available metadata for performance reasons.
3. we need a service on the frontend, that scans the network for changes and updates the SQL cache.
4. for the last optional issue (no local store, net boot for xbmc front ends) a config master (share?) needs to be setup, that caches user profiles, skins, plug-ins etc.
What are the advantages:
- one seemless, consistent UI on all xbmc instances everywhere in the house.
- metadata and library consistency (no additional scans required per instance)
- easy possibility for roaming of media playback
- easy remote control for one room by a UI in another room
- easy zone setup (sync playback / multiroom)
- easy integration of future home automation system
- easy maintenance and customization of all devices from one central point
- concept of 'satelite units' can be realized (e.g: UI: Android, Windows Mobile, iOS, Windows, Linux, hidden playback box without human input interfaces like keyboard, mouse, IRremote controlled only over the net, intelligent media servers) not just for one player, but for all in the house. The user can choose what modules to install on what machine, so the hardware requirements could be adjusted to the needs (25$ credit card sized PC, ION Boards, 20 Disk NAS Beasts, Tablets whatever...).
So what separate Parts would make sense:
- Data Storage
- Scraper engine
- sqlite3 db | mySQL Server instance(s) for the Data Layer
- sqlite3 db | mySQL Server instances for the presentation layer(s)
- Network discovery Service for the presentation layer
- central Config Storage for Profiles, Addons, Skins, Settings
- Playback engine
- UI engine
you can have each on one instance or combinations on separate machines, there could be one config storage (master), many data storages with or without scraper engines and mySQL instances, many playback engines and many UI engines either with a local SQL cache or using a centralized mySQL Server instance / network discovery.
Does this sounds reasonable?

Making seperate libraries out of XBMC is the core to many advantage feature like distributed setups, services for a whole lot of functionality, downstream-usage, etc. But it's a hell of a job with needs a lot of coordination by the team.

Thank you for the links.
The server part seems to be in development some how. I think, a modular approach would be better than just the -server switch, so the setup does not enforce the setup of 3D open GL / overlays... Assume, there is a headless server with no graphics at all, but only a remote shell.
I would like to suggest to have a clean, defined client / server interface spec between the parts and to keep them sane and dedicated to their main task, instead of having the full blown beast everywhere. This also easies a distributed development of the components.
Also a Option to have a hub & spoke setup (central storage, database, config on dedicated hardware with satelite clients) or a full meshed environment (every xbmc instance can work as server and as client in the same time).

Very good post. I think we both have similar ideas in what we would like to see accomplished when it comes to an XBMC server. As far as configuration for something like this, it could have a built in WebUI much like Sickbeard or similar services.

I cannot speak to the authorization component lightly touched on, Horror, Adult, ect. Very valid and important.
For the distributed part of this conversation, after a lot of research and thought I agree that moving the meta-data and storage to a distributed system is great in theory. Going this route either adds complexity to the developer side or the user side depending on the scenario.
What are the pressures that make distributing meta-data and possibly storage so interesting?
Consider a world were power is infinite and free. In this world would people move the file storage and meta-data to central system that is always on?
I spent a day or two and looked into distributed database technologies and storage technologies. Most of the work in this arena is to enhance performance, up-time, and move to commodity hardware. My XBMC does not have unduly pressure in this area, it is very stable, performance is great, and runs on almost any hardware I throw at it. My unRAID storage box suspends and boots up very quickly. Hosting mySQL and file storage on this one system seems very effective.
Help me understand the pressures to go more distributed and maybe a better path can be found.
Finding an easier way to make the setup of these pieces easier would increase adoption. I think that might be a worthwhile tangent for XBMC effort.

OK, this is the henn-egg question. Some people state : "there is need for exact 5 computers in the whole world..." This about the centralized approach. Well the world changes. We do client-server, distribute power to the client - then again centralisation (cloud hype).
The truth is in the middle. There are notebooks / smart pads, whatever - able to run xbmc and have enough storage for content.
Also in a family or students home there are many independent people living together, having their own content / xbmc installations.
Would it not be great, if they can just connect to a common network and share their content, without copying all stuff to a central storage?
There are advantages / disadvantages of both scenarios, but to get most of the available devices and storage around it would be great
to be able to joun the resources, when they are available online and to remove them from the library when offline - beside usb drives and other storages if your nas is full....
There is also another use case. Assume there is a "working set" with common content for all, but also offline disks with some special content, not used frequently, but immediately available in the library, as soon as the storage goes online... (e.g. some home made movies, or special stuff)
I think, dynamic discovery and merging / removing content auto-magically (only registered of course) would make xbmc even better.

| This mushroom is
the Campestris species of Agaricus, which is commonly found in the lawns
in Colorado Springs during damp summers. They are edible. It is also known
as the Meadow Mushroom, or Pink Bottom.
Kingdom: Fungi
|Another one. 14 July 2009 in Colorado Springs, CO.
|Another one.
Pictures taken 28 August 2011 in Colorado Springs, CO.
This one was 3.5 inches in diameter. Before I took the picture of the
bottom, there were some white pieces of covering stuck to the bottom.
If the covering had originally been over the entire bottom, it would
have looked exactly like the Common Mushroom, below.
So, maybe my identification is not correct.
|A close relative of the Agaricus Capestris above is this Agaricus bisporus,
commonly known by many names, but mostly Common Mushroom, button mushroom, white mushroom, table mushroom,
portobello mushroom, crimini mushroom, or cultivated mushroom. This was in an overgrown
lawn on 7 June 2009 in Colorado Springs.
But I think that when the white covering on the bottom drops off, it will look exactly like the Meadow Mushroom above. So, I'm not sure of this identification.
Genus: Agaricus
|A Puff Ball. Probably a Calvatia Booniana (Western Giant Puffball), although this one was less than 3 inches across, not really a giant. This one was beat up in a hail storm, and some neighborhood dogs. Plus, it has matured, so it is no longer edible.
|Found 1 August 2008 in El Paso Co., CO. Low to the ground, and about 2.5" across. Still unidentified.
|Found 17 May 2009 at the Fountain Creek Nature Center, Fountain Colorado. About 2" across. The second picture shows another one close by, and appeared to have been broken and in two pieces. This appears to be the Calvatia booniana, (Western Giant Puffball) since it matches the pictures found at http://www.coloradomushrooms.com/mushroom.php?id=14 .
|Unknown fungi. Small, about 1/2" in diameter, and somewhat red in color.
Found in May 2009 in the back yard of 373 Kenwood Circle, Colorado Springs.
The second picture was taken by Alyssa Erickson on a hiking trail on 8 August 2009.
|Unknown mushrooms. Found at the Monument Valley Park, in Colorado Springs CO on 16 October 2010. The bulbs are about 1" in diameter. Identification has not been made yet. Same as above?
|Unknown fungi. Small, up to 1" in diameter, and somewhat beige in color. Found in June 2009 in the back yard of 4728 Frost Drive, Colorado Springs.
|These are patches of Lichens, found in Teller county, Colorado in the
mountains NorthWest of Cripple Creek on 25 October 2011. Both were on the same large rock.
Identification is not certain, but they have a strong resemblence
to photos of genus Heterodermia, and maybe species echinata.
Lichens are unusual in that they are always a symbiosis of at least two quite different organisms, according to Wikipedia at simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichen. One organism is always a fungus, and there will also be a green algae and/or a cyanobacterium.

Relocating Oil Tank
I am going to install a new oil tank outside to replace an aging one in the basement. The basement is finished so moving the tank will make the room it is in larger. Anyway, I have three locations that I could go with. I am sure two of them may need additional considerations or may not work at all.
First, next to the house. Not my preference but best/easiest choice.
Second, next to a shed, about 30 feet from the point of entry into house so line would be buried. Oil tank would still be higher than furnace.
Third, 15' from point of entry into house BUT tank will be lower than furnace so I imagine some time of pump will be needed.
It will be 275 gal above ground tank. I plan on running 1/2" line inside pvc to house. I am going to draw from the top of the tank. I plan on building a "shed" around tank. Tank will be on a 6" concrete pad.
I prefer #3, does anyone see any reason why it would not work? Will I need some type of pump? If so what is it called?
The 3rd option will be fine. You will probably need to install a 2 stage oil pump. I would also recommend installing 2 lines instead of one. One is for supply and the other is return. you won't stress your pump as much (need less vacum) and it is more forgiving if you start sucking air somewhere. It will self purge the air. Also, not sure how cold where you live, but in OH. we wrap exposed oil lines with heat tape and insulation to prevent freezing the oil. Yes, there are additives, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I would use 1" pvc to run my copper thru. and bury it below the frost line.
#3 should work just fine, even with just the oil pump that's mounted to the furnace.....
Up here in this country,...
All outside tanks are filled with #1 fuel oil, because #2 will gell up.....
That saves having to run the heating lines as noted by sgthvac....

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
I pulled up this receipe three years ago to add a little gourmet to my family's traditional Thanksgiving meal. The Corn pudding received an overwhelming response and is now front and center at ALL of my holiday dinners. The consistancy is light so it doesn't compete with the main course. I assemble the pudding in a casserole dish the night before and just pop it in the oven the last hour the turkey is cooking. It couldn't be easier to make. This is the best receipe and favorite of my family. Thank you.
Great side dish!
I tried this recipe as a dry run for something different at Thanksgiving...my husband and I really enjoyed it. It has just a hint of garlic flavoring, and has a light texture. No doubt about it -- am adding it to our Thanksgiving dinner this year and am sure it will begin a new tradition!

September 11, 2012 –Susan Howes Conrad, associate professor of Geology, and Marta Newkirk, assistant dean of Student Services, have been awarded 2012 SUNY Chancellor's Awards for Excellence. Five DCC students also were selected to receive the award.
In presenting the faculty and staff awards on behalf of State University of New York Chancellor Nancy Zimpher, DCC President Dr. D. David Conklin said, "Both Susan and Marta are dedicated and hard-working members of the DCC community, and I congratulate each of these deserving individuals on this great honor."
Conrad received the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching. She joined DCC's full-time faculty in 2000 following seven years as an adjunct instructor. Conrad has served in leadership roles at the College as chairperson of DCC's Women's Activities Committee and the Professional Staff Development Committee, and as vice-chair and member-at-large of the Professional Staff Organization. She also serves on the steering committee for "Math and Science Matter …. Especially for Young Women," a program for girls in grades 5-8 .
Newkirk was awarded the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Professional Service. She has been a member of the College's professional staff since 2000, and serves as assistant dean of Student Services. She is responsible for coordinating and implementing student services that support the academic mission of the college and collaborating with members of the faculty and administration on behalf of students. She is an active member of the DCC Curriculum Committee and in the past has served on the Professional Staff Organization Executive Board. Newkirk also is a board member of the Mid-Hudson Association of Women in Higher Education, on the Poughkeepsie Day Nursery board of directors and is involved with the Women's Leadership Fund of the United Way.
The Chancellor's Awards for Excellence were established in the early 1970s to provide system-wide recognition and reward the State University's faculty and professional staff for superb performance and achievement. The awards acknowledge SUNY's fundamental mission of instruction, research and service.
Five DCC students received the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence. Barbara Cady of Poughquag, Jesse Fuerst of Pleasant Valley, Emma Hogan of Pleasant Valley, Naria McGee of Germantown and Lindsay Panko of Hopewell Junction were among the 257 students from 64 SUNY campuses presented with the honor. The Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence was created 15 years ago to recognize students who have best demonstrated, and been recognized for, the integration of academic excellence with accomplishments in the areas of leadership, athletics, community service, creative and performing arts or career achievement.

Sometimes the mag disconnect rubs on the front of the mag, and if that area on the mag body is rough, it can affect the "feel" of the pull.
Use your new magazines a bit, then check the front edge of the mag (about 1/4" to 1/2" down the body from the top) for a rub mark. Gently polish that area very smooth with small-grit wet-and-dry paper, then lube the bare spot (both for reduction of friction, and rust prevention). Try the mags again, see if that solves the problem (partially, or fully).
Mag disconnect can be removed on HPs, but it is easier to do on some models than others. If you can, have a pro shop do it (check with Cylinder & Slide; not sure if they'll do it or not nowadays?).

Ever Heard of "National Black Conservative Day?" Me Either
August 4, 2010 at 9:21 PM Leave a comment
Yo, MSM, where's the blanket coverage of this epoch fail?
So I go to the National Press Club's website but I don't see anything there about "National Black Conservatives" speaking today, though this dead site does pop up, lame as it is.
Gosh. I have a feeling this was a disaster; bigger than the disaster of "Tea Party Diversity Day" last weekend in Philly.
I mean, there were supposed to be thousands of "diverse" Tea Partiers swarming D.C. last weekend during "Tea Party Diversity Day." It was a flop. And today, "National Black Conservatives" day evaporated.
So, we're to believe that Tea Party types rule the world?
Note to the MSM: Take another hit. Now, back to reality.

carpet to laminate transition
What is the best way to transition existing carpet to new laminate so the carpet will both stay where it is and fit underneath the T-moulding? We cut out a large section of carpet in our dinette area which is part of our great-room and will lay laminate down. My first thought and attempt was to cut the carpet and padding, cut the padding back another 2-3 inches underneath the carpet, put re-used tack strips down and stretch/push down the carpet on to the tack strip. Do I need to fold the carpet first before attaching to the tack strip so the tacks don't push through the carpet? When I do that it doesn't look like the T-moulding would fit over the carpet.
Put the molding track close to the laminate. Put the tackstrip within approx 3/8" of the track. Stretch and trim the carpet. Put the T molding over the top of both edges.
T mold doesn't work well as a carpet end cover . The reason is the part of the tmold that covers the carpet is very thin , The carpet is not a solid surface that will support this , END MOLD is what is used and the carpet is tacked and stretched tight to the end molding ,not under it . It is possible to use the end mold , But not recomended
CRI installation standards prohibit tacking carpet in doorways. It would void any warranty. Besides a plush carpet looks terrible when tacked.

As part of its multiple efforts to better organize and improve postdoctoral training, APPIC is pleased to offer the following resources for applicants and training programs.
With the support of the Postdoctoral Training Summit attendees, the APPIC Postdoctoral Workgroup has spearheaded the development of a Universal Psychology Postdoctoral Directory (UPPD). The UPPD is a free service available to all postdoctoral training programs including non-APPIC member programs.
For postdoctoral training directors, to create a new account and enter your program in the UPPD:
Click on the following link to create an account. http://www.appic.org/register?UPPD=1
Watch your inbox for an email indicating that your registration has been approved.
After you are approved, log into the directory http://www.appic.org/About-APPIC/Universal-Psychology-Postdoctoral-Directory. You will automatically be redirected to the directory page where a large blue button will allow you to add or manage listings.
For postdoctoral training directors who already have an account and program listing in the UPPD:
Click on the following link to log in http://www.appic.org/Login
Your email is your username.
If you forgot your password, you can request to have it reset.
Last year APPIC developed an independent portal for programs to list unfilled position following the Uniform Notification Date. For the current postdoctoral selection cycle, this function will be served by the UPPD.
Programs - Programs that have unfilled position following 2/27/17 should:
The APPA CAS (APPIC Psychology Postdoctoral Application) is highly flexible to meet the needs of a wide range of postdoctoral programs requiring basic demographic, internship and postdoctoral programs information, and letters of recommendation while allowing multiple uploads to be defined by individual programs. APPIC believes the APPA CAS provides a significant contribution to postdoctoral training providing a more unified and user-friendly application process for applicants and programs. APPA CAS provides a more coordinated review of applicant information and reduced costs and time for applicants.
Note: APPA CAS is not linked to your UPPD (Universal Psychology Postdoctoral Directory) listing. Programs wanting to use APPA CAS to receive applications must register with our vendor and configure a program portal. Click on the APPA CAS link above for details.
We have developed a series of Postdoc Video Presentations to educate applicants and postdoctoral programs about the postdoctoral application process.
The Postdoctoral Workgroup will holding a series of Q and A Webinars for postdoctoral applicants and training directors on the postdoctoral selection process.
APPIC has completed multiple surveys of postdoctoral programs through the years. Please see this link to review a summary of the findings from prior years.
Postdoctoral Training Summit - Postdoctoral training, although a critical component in the sequence of psychology training, has evolved in the absence of any organizing body dedicated solely to postdoctoral training issues. Given the growth of postdoctoral training in the US, APPIC, with the support of APA's Education Directorate, hosted a Postdoctoral Psychology on May 28th and 29th, 2016. The summit brought together major stakeholders to develop roadmaps that address the crucial issues in postdoctoral training for programs, trainees, and the public.

Looking for suppliers for Low E foam board and fiberglass batts
Looking to purchase about 20K sf of insulation and just wanting to do some price shopping. Looking for references for the low E foam board to be applied between the sheeting and frame of a structure as well as plastic backed batts for final interior insulation. Not yet sure if this stuff will be more economical to try and buy local or buy outside of my state and have shipped.
Are you set on the plastic-backed batts (FG?) ? What is low e foam? Blue board? (XPS)? EPS? Just curious what the application is, too.

The Super League champions suffered a fourth successive loss when they slumped 18-6 at the KC Stadium on Friday night, with their misery compounded by injuries suffered to McGuire and star centre Kallum Watkins.
The latter suffered an ankle injury which has yet to have a timescale put on it, while McGuire suffered his break when Liam Watts fell on him during a tackle.
The Rhinos stated on Twitter: "X rays have confirmed Danny McGuire has suffered a break to his fibula bone in his leg, he will have further scans on Monday."
The news comes amid an injury crisis at Headingley Carnegie, with veteran prop Jamie Peacock, utility man Carl Ablett and back Ben Jones-Bishop already sidelined for various lengths of time.

Local Eco-Friendly Gym Gets National Recognition
AC4 Fitness Named Eco-Friendliest Gym in America By Shape Magazine
GOLETA, Calif. - Two local gyms are doing their part to reduce energy use and one facility caught the eye of a national magazine.
From pedal power, to weights, gyms are a place for people to get in shape, drop a few pounds and now generate electricity while building up a sweat.
University of California Santa Barbara's recreation center has five stationary bikes that actually pump energy back into the grid.
"I think it's a great idea. It's eco-friendly. If they could do this to more of the machines it could supply energy to the whole establishment," said student Greyson Schultz.
Other machines at the recreation center are powered only by the people on them and do not plug into an outlet.
"I know all the students who come in, kind of a new generation, that's their focus," said Bruce Hansen, the recreation center general manager.
AC4 Fitness owner Tony Calhoun has been in the gym business for three decades. He said a lot has changed, and he is glad to be on the cutting edge.
"Technology is becoming more and more available across the nation, if not the world," said Cahoun.
The AC4 Fitness gyms in both Goleta and Santa Barbara use ReRev on all the ellipticals. It converts workouts into useable energy.
Maria Tziouvaras has been a member of the gym since it opened in 2012 but still gets a thrill when she sees the energy monitor increase with every stride.
"Am I really putting that much energy into the facility? It just feels really cool to me to be able to do that. It's not something you see or do every day at any other gym," she said.
Cahloun explained how the system works by pointing to the cords coming out of the ellipticals.
"These cords are not consuming power, they're actually taking power out of the machine, the kinetic energy, and converting it," he said.
A typical workout on an elliptical machine will produce 50 to 100 watt hours of electricity. That means a laptop can be powered for about 30 minutes. But at the gym, it's used to power things like the lights and the fan.
Both Hansen, from UCSB, and Calhoun, from AC4 Fitness, agree the energy produced is not a lot, but if more people jump on board, every little bit helps.
"It's a drop in the bucket, but it's in addition to it, and anything helps," said Hansen.
At AC4 it's not just about the cardio machines. The gym is eco-friendly everywhere the eye can see.
A giant, 16-foot fan on the ceiling reduces the need for air conditioning, and the furniture used to belong to the former bank that occupied the space.
"And that includes the front desk that used to be a teller line, a bank teller line, but also the office back there," said Calhoun.
The gym also has a built-in water refilling station.
"Our objective is to take plastic off the street," he said.
Members sign up online, reducing the amount of paper, as well.
"We've gotten so good at it, when I need a piece of paper to write on, I can't even find paper around the club," said Cahoun.
All of it was so impressive to Shape Magazine, it named AC4 the Eco-Friendliest Gym in America.
"This little Goleta club, 5,700 square feet. That was a great affirmation as to the work that we've been doing here," he said.
Calhoun and his sons run the show at both locations. They said although going green doesn't necessarily save them any, it's well worth it.Slideshow: Local Eco-Friendly Gym Gets National Recognition

What is the benefit to Marlboro of sponsoring Ferrari?
This topic contains 14 replies, has 11 voices, and was last updated by Anonymous 5 years, 2 months ago.
Viewing 15 posts - 1 through 15 (of 15 total)

My question to you F1 fanatics is a simple one, albeit a question which I couldn't give a good answer to when asked by a casual F1 viewer: What is the benefit to Marlboro of sponsoring Ferrari? Marlboro are not allowed to have their name on the car, the barcodes which some (myself included) believed to be subliminal advertising were removed as well, albeit by Ferrari themselves, and Marlboro aren't even in the team name anymore. So what is their reason for spending a substantial amount of money on Ferrari to sponsor them?
9th April 2012, 21:19 at 9:19 pmParticipant
I think Ferrari sell Marlboro all the sponsorship rights to all the car, and instead of putting 'MARLBORO' logos all over the car, Marlboro sell on ad space to Shell, Santander ect and are possibly making a profit out of it.
They tobacco company might give Ferrari £60m but are able to recoup their investment from the likes of Shell and AMD ect, and also get their name on the garages at Grand Prix, and also it gets broadcast in the post race interviews (they said: 2012 Malaysian GP Winner for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, Fernando Alonso for example post race two weeks ago). And also there is lots of discussion on the whole controversy ofpeople not being sure if they are breaking the rules by sponsoring or not? Certainly lots of media coverage got the Marlboro name publicised in 2010 when the bar code was taken away after doctors complained it was subliminal. Then the new logo was unveiled and they got more media coverage because it looks like a Marlboro Cigarette packet- cue more controversy, and indeed discussions like this one, we're talking about Ferrari and Marlboro right now!
10th April 2012, 1:28 at 1:28 amParticipant
they get a Fisichella or Marc Gene advert.
10th April 2012, 5:19 at 5:19 am
As well as what Calum said, I think that by having the current Scuderia Ferrari logo (which incidentally looks far more like a pack of Marlboro cigarettes than the barcode) and by just maintaining an association with Ferrari, people will subconsciously make the connection to Marlboro.
Also, these companies have massive marketing budgets that they can't spend in most of the world, so they may as well sponsor Ferrari rather than doing nothing.
10th April 2012, 5:27 at 5:27 amParticipant
What @ed24f1 says is largely true. The simple fact that just about everyone who knows something about F1 is aware of the ties between Ferrari and Marlboro already achieves a lot of PR for them.
10th April 2012, 5:46 at 5:46 amParticipant
I think there's tobacco advertising in the middle east (unless I'm mistaken) and other parts of asia, so they can still use Ferrari to advertise their product, rather than the other way round.
10th April 2012, 6:28 at 6:28 am
According to Wikipedia – and the Formula 1 pages over there are very reliable – Marlboro no longer officially sponsors Ferrari. And by that, I mean the official team name as it appears on FIA entry lists is "Scuderia Ferrari", and not "Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro". I believed the brand was dropped from the Ferrari name at Silverstone last year. And although some people claim that the Scuderia Ferrari logo introduced around the same time was subliminally designed to resemble a cigarette package, Marlboro's packet design has not been changed for years.
Honestly, I'm surprised that Phillip Morris still buy up all the space on the car. Few companies would be entirely comfortable with the idea, and most of the brands that do appear on the Ferrari – Shell, Kaspersky Labs, etc. – are technical partners that only have small(er) logos. Santander are the only real sponsors, and even then, their logos don't dominate. I guess most sponsors have a problem with being associated with a cigarette brand, much less paying the owners of that brand for sponsor space. So without Marlboro branding (or even the barcode design), Phillip Morris would have to be running at a loss, even though they're apparently paying Ferrari until 2015 (or possibly even until 2017). I would have thought that Phillip Morris would back out of the deal by now, and Ferrari would get a new title sponsor. "Scuderia Ferrari Santander", perhaps, or – if Sergio Perez were to join the team – "Scuderia Ferrari Claro".
10th April 2012, 6:43 at 6:43 am
But I don't think they buy the livery to make a profit, just to make sure that they have some control over the livery which allows a continuation of the livery link to the days when they were proper sponsors of the team.
If they relinquish this control, and Santander comes in and makes half of the car white or something (an exaggeration), this wouldn't be good for Phillip Morris, as some of the subconscious link to Marlboro would be lost.
You can see from this photo at Monaco that Marlboro definitely use Ferrari in their advertisements where they can;

10th April 2012, 9:58 at 9:58 am
@ed24f1 – Seems like a very expensive exercise with very little to gain from it.
10th April 2012, 10:44 at 10:44 amParticipant
I would think that there are massive advertising benefits in the non-namby pamby nanny states/countries in this world.
10th April 2012, 10:49 at 10:49 am
What, all three of them?
10th April 2012, 14:40 at 2:40 pm
Well they can't advertise in any other way, and have a massive advertising budget like any other country, so they have to do what they can, and doing what they do with Ferrari probably keeps them more in the public eye than many other tobacco brands.
10th April 2012, 15:04 at 3:04 pmParticipant
There's clearly some value in tie-ups between car companies and cigarettes
From the above site
"take a look at Lamborghini Cigarettes that is due to be launched on the 18th of this month. Created by South Korea's KT&G and named after the famous Italian fashion brand "Tonino Lamborghini", these cigarettes are said to cost 2,700 Won ($2.4) each. "
10th April 2012, 16:02 at 4:02 pmMember
We are talking about it, aren't we?
10th April 2012, 17:58 at 5:58 pm
I guess you're unlikely to get spontaneous "advertising" like this anymore:

Durban, Oct 16: After thrashing Kolkata Knight Riders by 7 wickets, Confident Auckland Aces are all set to take on Titans at Durban in the group match of Champions League T20 on Wednesday.
Both the teams bank on a few players, while Auckland depends on Azhar Mahmood's heroics, Titans bank on Mitchell Marsh and their bowling attack.
Auckland's batting has been on par with their bowling, as Guptill, Lou Vincent, Azhar Mahmood have been playing extremely well, while the bowling has also been quite good since the start of the tournament, as they performed very well in the qualifying stage as well.
Titans on the other hand, have been quite impressive with the ball but need to concentrate on their batting as they depend on a few players, if Gibbs, Katich gets going, then Auckland might feel the heat.
Given the current form, Auckland Aces look confident as they have been unbeaten since the start of the tournament, having registered two wins in the qualifying stage of Champions League T20 and defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by 7 wickets.
Titans: Farhaan Behardien, Henry Davids, Marchant de Lange, AB de Villiers, Paul Harris, Heino Kuhn, Eden Links, Ethy Mbhalati, Mangaliso Mosehle, Rowan Richards, Jacques Rudolph, Alfonso Thomas, Roelof van der Merwe, Martin van Jaarsveld (captain), David Wiese
Auckland Aces: Andre Adams, Michael Bates, Brad Cachopa, Colin de Grandhomme, Martin Guptill, Ronnie Hira, Gareth Hopkins (captain), Anaru Kitchen, Mitchell McClenaghan, Azhar Mahmood, Bruce Martin, Chris Martin, Kyle Mills, Colin Munro, Lou Vincent
Match starts at 5 PM

4 weird beeps in a burst of 3
Why. I just bought this great looking 330ci and when I'm driving it suddenly I get 4 beeps and 3 bursts but no indicator lights or warning lights come on. Does anyone know what it could mean?
whenever the temperature drops below 37, the car beeps to warn u of possible ice. is this ur case ?
OP: sorry, but I've never heard that. Might it be a cell phone interfering with the radio? Try putting your phone in the back seat, away from the electronics.

Nike Creates GPS Map Art By Tracking Runners [Video]
Campaign generates social media buzz as it follows Tokyo-based runner.
Last summer, Nike created the RUN LIKE ME campaign that challenged 'running artist' Joseph Tame to run 10 meters for every Facebook like the campaign received. To reflect Japan's cultural flair, Joseph was outfitted in a crazy costume and a Nike+ unit, which he used to create artwork around the city of Tokyo.
Among other shapes, he ran in the shape of a shoe and spelled out phrases like Just Do It and Run Like Me. Over 30 days, he ran a total of 420 KM (261 miles) in a pair of Nike LunarGlide+ 4. The challenge essentially communicates the key benefit of the shoe, which is that it enables consumers to run longer due to the cushioning design.
This 'social running experiment' demonstrates the power of employing time-sensitive campaigns that are in sync with the feedback loops energizing the social web. By bringing together Facebook, Nike+, and a creative thinker, key product benefits were communicated through a branded story that leaked into mainstream media coverage.

Godfrey ran to the end of Flag Point, and began to haul his flag up and down, as if he were saluting.
That flag up there must be a beastly fraud, or there must be two of 'em!
"Just the same we want to get our flag up," exclaimed Grant.
But the Englishman answered by running a Spanish flag up the halliards.
"He still has his flag up," he whispered into the Honourable Timothy Watling's ear, when he reached the hall.
When she was about two miles distant she ran a flag up to her peak.
As they were turning into Shaftesbury Avenue an empty taxicab passed them with the flag up.
He ran the flag up to its full height, swiftly knotted the cord and put his back against the pole.
He entered the service in 1867 and when he carried that flag up San Juan was filling out his thirty-first year in the service.
He glanced at the dial of his taximeter, which had registered one franc twenty-five, and pulled the flag up.

I have a potential ignition switch issue . About a month ago I tried to start my vehicle and it failed to crank at all. I tried to jump it to no avail. Finally got it Towed. The garage put it up on the lift and it started. (?!) Two weeks later after numerous starts, it did the same thing - fortunately next to my house. I looked into everything from a bad key fob to a blown fuel pump fuse... Even looked to see if a coin was trapped by the neutral safety switch ...nothing seemed to work...then after rattling the ignition a bit, it started (?!)...then continued to start for two more weeks. I took it into the stealership this past Wednesday - they ran the diagnostic and told me that the vehicle has no ignition problems and nothing shows up in the history. ( OK am I lying?!)...Well this past Friday night my car once again failed to start. Same thing - good battery - radio, lights etcs ...I can hear a click inside the motor ( Starter ) and one up by the left side of the firewall immediately after...thinking it must be the ignition switch itself ...maybe a wiring short....

ITworld.com –
Unfortunately, this is not a hands-on column. I haven't had the opportunity to try one of the new Pentium 4 chips. The chip, announced with the usual fanfare amidst an ongoing ad campaign for the Pentium III, is a 1.5-GHz speed demon. News flash: for most of the world, the speed will be meaningless. Why?
If you've followed my columns on ITworld.com, you know my thoughts on this matter. Intel and AMD keep eliminating the bottleneck that doesn't exist for the great majority of the computers out there. Most of us are limited by disk speed, network speed, Internet pipe speed, and so on; the CPU has long ago stopped being the bottleneck. It's the breakaway champion of the speed demons. When will the rest of the system catch up?
Since I've last addressed this issue, there has been little public notice of any significant enhancements in the biggest bottleneck: the disk subsystem. Sure, disk rotational speed has not "jumped" from 10K to 15K rpm. And guess what? As I stated months ago, that kind of speed increase will only provide marginal improvements in disk speed. Based on the numbers posted on one disk vendor's Website, a 15K rpm disk can be expected to have an average read time of about 6 ms. This is accomplished by moving the disk faster (15K rpm becomes 250 revolutions per second or a 4 ms cycle, making the average latency 2 ms) and by going to a high speed SCSI (160 Mbs) interface. Compare this to a 10K rpm disk with the same interface and the speed difference is 1 ms. Compare it to a 7,200 rpm drive and the difference is a "staggering" 2 ms.
All of this is impressive, but it still does not get us to the sub-millisecond, large-capacity, nonvolatile storage that we need.
When will mass storage catch up? The answer is still unknown.
Nonvolatile RAM drives are an interim solution at best. As the volume of data stored increases, the cost of RAM drives quickly becomes prohibitive. I know of one large company that installed a RAM drive to ease its system response time problems. This step got the company through a crunch, but now it's looking for other solutions: the gains afforded by the RAM drive will become insignificant when the company database grows to 10 times its current size.
It is comforting, though, to see other authors pointing out the lack of a need for a 1.5-GHz chip. Maybe we are maturing -- it's not the horsepower of the engine that counts but how fast the car can get around the track. For that you need the engine, yes, but you also need steering, suspension, tires, fuel tank. The entire system must move forward. Oh, well. I guess we'll just keep waiting.

Me. Yes. Me.
Yesterday I pretended I led a very simple life. It was fun.
I brushed off work and pending deadlines and decided they could wait. I actually think I'm going to do that more often. I actually think I just need to start saying "no" more often. We all say that though don't we?
I forgot to share this from the boy's devotional the other day. I love it though. Every new day is a gift. It's nice to have a reminder every now and then.
I didn't run yesterday. My whole body hurt from the race Sunday. It still does actually so I'm not running today either.
Even with all the cross training I do, there are muscles and spots in my legs that have never been sore before. Oh man.
I did teach my classes yesterday and have a class to teach today. But, I'm not taking any chances. I may have to throw a little pool running time in today too.
Yesterday instead of working I devoted a good amount of time to hanging out with the boys and losing a few too many times at this game.
Did you know that the head pops up with the other guy wins? I never knew that until yesterday. And yes, my red head popped up a lot.
This morning instead of getting up for an early morning run, the boys and I laid in bed and chatted about Joaquin's superhero dream he had last night.
He had a dream about superheroes, I had a dream we moved in to a really cool new house. That's not happening anytime soon. Ha.
The boys got ahold of my camera and took a few pictures for you. I promised I'd post them.
You're welcome.
I pretended I knew what I was doing Sunday and actually made fresh salsa for the first time ever with our roasted Hatch Chiles we got. I even made two different versions- regular and chunky.
Both are spicy though. I really didn't know what I was doing so I threw together Frieda's Hatch Chiles, a couple jalapeños, garlic salt, Elephant Garlic, Penzeys Spices Salsa Seasoning, a tomato and sea salt.
It turned out pretty well. I made a lot though so it's pretty much going on anything and everything. How long does salsa last in the fridge? Can I freeze it?
Rice cakes with guacamole and this salsa are fabulous.
Oh random, but so are these coffee flavored Ricky's Lucky Nuts I had yesterday.
Last night after I got home from the gym, besides my body hurting everywhere I was just pooped. I decided to keep pretending I didn't have other things to do and threw this Trader Joe's pizza in the oven.
It's my favorite frozen pizza from there. I even watched Bachelor in Paradise for a bit. That may have been a mistake.
And now the pretending is over. Back to reality today. At least I got a pretty good night's sleep to be able to tackle everything that's about to go down.
By the way, today is the last day to enter the GIVEAWAY to win one of these iFit Active gadgets.
Oh, and it was just announced this morning that Snoop Dogg is going to be the headliner for Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas! How cool is that?
Who wants to come run the Strip at Night with me?
Or Rock 'n' Roll Los Angeles 1/2 Marathon (10% discount with MAMAROCKSLA)?
Or both.
Let's rock! He he.
Okay, I'm off to make some French Toast this morning by special request. I haven't forgotten.
Have a great day!
Who can help me? How long does salsa last and can I freeze it?
Who else thinks of the movie Old School when they hear Snoop Dogg? Ha ha.

New composite for road rage shooting suspect
July 11, 2010 7:31 AM
News headline from West Palm Beach CBS 12
Associated Press
LAKE WORTH--- Police are hoping a new composite helps them catch a man accused of opening fire in a road rage incident Thursday night.
The victim has been released from the hospital.
16-year-old Misael Casarrunias of Palm Springs says he was traveling east on Lake Worth Road attempting to make a left on Kirk Road when the suspect riding a sport motorcycle pulled up next to him.
The Palm Beach Sheriff's office says 'words were exchanged' and that's when the victim tried to elude the suspect by driving into a neighborhood.
The driver of the motorcycle caught up to him a few minutes later and at a light shot the victim twice in the torso.
Casarrunias immediately called 911 to report the shooting and his passenger drove him to the nearest hospital where he was treated for non life-threatening injuries.
The suspect is described as a light skin black male, early 20's, riding a multi-colored sport motorcycle with a matching colored helmet.
If anyone can identify this suspect they are urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS.

Keep yer yap shut.
Some fool rolls up on you on the street and offers to engage you in conversation based around American Sign Language and/or demonstration of their mastery of invectives, just let it go.
Roll up your window and move on with your life to live.
If you note that the person is following you, then dial 9 1 1 _immediately_ and drive STRAIGHT to a local police station.
Don't try that TV lose a person in a neighborhood garbage. Drive straight to a police...Or have 911 direct one straight to you WHILE you drive straight to the POLICE station.

Motorcycle? Vs. Car?
I dare say if someone on a motorcycle threatened me, he'd be in a ditch or up on the curb before he got a shot off. If he's behind you jam on the brakes, along side, swerve. I guarantee he'll have his hands full trying to stay upright.
Anyone who has ever ridden a motorcycle will tell you that most drivers will kill you by accident; just think how effective they would be if they meant to hit you.

These RR incidents are getting to be 'regular' occurrences. With my temperment I'm fortunate to have gotten this far in life..yup, I've been a hothead at times BUT the stakes are too high - you just don't know who you are dealing with. Janq's advice well taken__I'm keepin' my yap shut, not making eye contact (as in glaring at him/her), not giving any 'hand signals'.
As another forum member said two weeks ago: "I've stopped getting that excited behind the wheel once I remembered I'm not the only one carrying a gun".
"It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end"____Leonardo da Vinci 1452-1519
One day about a year or more ago, before I was actively carrying everywhere I go, the wife and I were on our way to DQ for an ice cream. I was at a stop light waiting to turn left. The light changed, I proceed, but I get just a foot or two and a car coming from the left runs the light.
I'm voicing something like, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you see the red light?" and pointing up toward the light.
I proceed with my turn, and in checking my rear view, I notice he makes a U turn right in the middle of the 4 lane (undivided) road (main street through town). I continue down the street about 3 blocks, turn right at the next light, make a left into DQ, park and the wife and I start walking inside. While I'm parking he drives by. Before we get to the door he comes back, pulls in and rolls his window down. I got my cell phone out and started dialing...
He says something to the effect that I flipped him off. I told him that I was pointing at the light that he so blatantly ran, and that he should pay more attention to the lights. He muttered a few words and drove off. I still remember his tag number to this day. I guess I should have went ahead and called him in.
Then, just this past weekend. The wife and I made a day trip up to West Virginia to visit an old friend of mine whom I havn't seen in 25 years. We spend the day, and leave his place about 10pm to head back home (a 2.5 hour drive). I'm on the road 5 minutes, come out of his neighborhood and make a left on a divided 4 lane. I end up behind a slow moving car in the right lane, I check my mirror, move to the left lane and pass the slower vehicle. While passing the slower vehicle, a set of headlights come up fast from behind me and get right on my a** and flash the high beams. I thought about slowing down, then thought, no, that would just make this speed demon turn into a road rage idiot. I just completed my pass, signaled right, moved to the right lane and minded my own while this idiot flew by like he was going to a fire.
In the past, I might have slowed down, just to piss him off, or after he passed me, I may have hit him with my high beams, but I'm changing the ways I think when on the road because there are too many instances of crazy road rage fools out there doing stupid stuff like the guy on the motorcycle in the OPs post.
Sorry for the long story.

First Jewish Daily Forward Radio Program is on WNYC
Contrary to prevailing belief, the Jewish Daily Forward's first radio program was not on WEVD (a leader in Jewish and Yiddish radio programming in the 1930s and 40s), but on WNYC! The Yiddish newspaper marked the May 21, 1926 broadcast nine days later by printing the photos on the left with the following caption:
"The First Forward Radio Concert --Isa Kremer, the world famous balladiste, who was the featured soloist of the Forward radio hour May 21, from WNYC. (Left) The famous Stringwood Ensemble, which rendered a program of classical music."*
No Gathering of Lightweights
Isabelle Yakovlevna Kremer (1887-1956) [1] was a well-known Russian-born soprano who traveled extensively through Europe in the 1920s and 30s singing folk songs in half a dozen languages, including Yiddish. As a teen she wrote revolutionary poems that impressed Odessa News editor Israel Heifetz, who invited her to Odessa and underwrote her musical studies with the famed Professor Ronzi in Milan, Italy. She sang opera for a brief time, debuting as Mimi in La Bohème opposite Tito Schipa in Cremona in 1911, and then toured czarist Russia as a star of the Imperial Opera of Petrograd.
Kremer first came to the United States in 1922 and signed on with impresario Sol Hurok, debuting at Carnegie Hall on October 29th of that year. She appeared regularly in concerts at Carnegie Hall and the Manhattan Opera House trhough the 1930s and 40s, making her final New York appearance on December 3, 1950 at Carnegie Hall. Kremer made her vaudeville debut at the Palace Theatre in September, 1927. That year she also appeared in some Vitaphone films. In 1932, the singer debuted on the Yiddish stage in The Song of the Ghetto by William Siegel and music by Alexander Olshanetsky at the Downtown National Theater. She also recorded with Brunswick and Seva Records.[2]
The Stringwood Ensemble was organized in 1924 and made their first New York City appearance at Aeolian Hall on March 2, 1925. The founding members were Josef Stopak and Samuel Kuskin, first and second violins; Michael Cores, viola; Abram Borodkin, cello; Simeon Bellison, clarinet; and Arthur Loesser on piano. Reviewing their Aeolian Hall performance, Olin Downes wrote in The New York Times, "These are not only gifted individual performers; they play with a true sense of ensemble: their tonal balance and mutual understanding betoken a new concert organization which should prove of value to the musical public."[3] On October 23, 1929, the ensemble played Town Hall with renowned concert pianist Nadia Reisenberg.[4]
In 1927 writer Gdal Saleski described the Stringwood Ensemble as having "established for itself a permanent place in the musical life of America, for this ensemble is not limiting itself to the execution of purely Jewish music (although it does give more attention to this than any other existing organization of its kind in the United States), but plays with equal facility and perfection the chamber music works of the past and present masters of all climes: Brahms, Mozart, Glazounoff, etc."[5]
Both Simeon Bellison and Michael Cores were soloists with the New York Philharmonic, and Arthur Loesser (brother of Frank Loesser) was a concert pianist who performed with the New York Philharmonic, the Minneapolis Symphony and other leading orchestras. Stopak would later put down his violin and pick up the conductor's baton. In 1942 Billboard referred to him as one of the finest conductors heard on the air.[6]
*It is interesting to note that the display advertisement in The New York Times promoting the broadcast, (shown above), says the performers appear courtesy of Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company under the auspices of the Jewish Daily Forward.

Ok Ladies and Gents,
I THINK I've found the gun that Bud and Euc have been looking for, but I'm NOT sure yet. It's a S&W 625ML wheelie gun... 45ACP in 5 inch...soooooo here
ya go Do you think they should "fess up" and buy one?
BTW guys...........<just kidding you, but thought it was something you were lookin for>
Why Waltz when you can Rock-N-Roll
Bob, you have a PM. Or will have soon.
Nice looking pistolo there!

<----My LT was unhappy that I did not have my PASS-Tag at that fire. But I found the body so he said he would overlook it. :)
Yeah that a 625 JM looks like a 4 inch to me you sure its 5 ??
looks just like this one
What's the first 3 digits of the Serial # they start with JM?
I am convinced it's a 4 incher too Bud, but if you look on the sideplate you can see the JM logo. Also note the trigger is not MIM, and the grips are right. This is consistent with the JM trim package.
The sights look different from your gun for some reason.
Me too - seeing it as a 4" - sorta comparing with my 5" 625 -
