Since this year we are celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of John Main's death I thought that rather than reflect on a specific passage of the Rule we should perhaps take a look at his approach to it, in particular as it applies to the oblate community. I hope I'm not being to presumptuous by expounding on what I feel is his understanding of the Rule, however he did leave behind quite a body of writing, and on top of that his life itself during his monastic days and his relationship to the oblate community have been well documented.
Father John of course was both the founder and teacher of our community but it is the integrated vision he wished to share with all of us that makes taking a closer look at it from time to time important. Father John saw the oblates as an integral part of the monastic community. And although it is part of the oblate commitment to share in the work of the community, our real job is to participate and be faithful to the prayer life of the community and in doing so being part of what Father Laurence has so aptly dubbed the "monastery without walls".
I think it is pretty safe to say that Father John did not see becoming an oblate as taking on additional cumbersome layers of spiritual practice , in fact quite the opposite. For him if the monastic vision was about anything it was about simplicity, flexibility to one's own circumstances and accessibility to all. For him the Rule and the practice of meditation merged together in a seamless unity that embraced the whole of our lives, bringing them into an integrated simplicity grounded in the experience of Christ within.
The Rule therefore was not an end in itself but a set of practical principals which lay out the framework in which this journey of seeking God could take place and be nourished. It deals with all aspects of day to day life: community governance, right relationships, care and concern for others particularly the vulnerable, deep listening and openness, balance and moderation in all things, attentiveness, the primacy of prayer.
These were the principals Father John lived by and for those of us who were fortunate enough to have known him it was obvious that his integration of these principles enabled him to enter into that liberty of spirit of which he so often talked.
In that sense the Rule for him was not just an ancient static document, but one in which the understanding of, and living out of has evolved over the millennia. This does not imply a watering down of those principals but a serious adaptation to help them mesh with modern day to day life. Father John was well aware of the narcissism and rudderlessness of the modern world and yet he loved the world in which he lived. He did not see life in terms of "we" and "they" but as a whole of which we are all part. There is little doubt that he saw the Rule as a blueprint that could have great value to modern society. In one instance he compared the meditation community to the leaven in a loaf of bread. The yeast is just a small part of the whole loaf but permeates the whole of it and is what makes it rise.
At the end of the day it is all about simple fidelity to our daily practice; our twice daily meditation, regular reading of the Rule and for those of us who are able, part of the divine office each day, which incidentally, he saw as a form of communal "lectio divina" and a preparation for "pure prayer".
Perhaps the best way to explore all of this a little further would be for us to dust off our copies of "Community of Love" and "Letters From The Heart" and make a little advent project of rereading excerpts from them. For newer members of the community Father Laurence has reedited "Letters" and the "Present Christ".
Both are published in a single volume entitled "Monastery Without Walls". It is available from Medio Media and I would suggest it as almost required reading for our community as it really gives an in depth look at his spiritual vision.
Peace be with you all!

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
Community donation program has new corporate matching sponsor
Mayor Chris Beutler today announced that the Lincoln Cares program will help fund six projects and programs across the community in 2009. Lincoln Cares is a community donation program, which allows Lincoln Electric System (LES) customers to voluntarily add one dollar to their bill payments each month for projects not included in the City budget.
The Mayor made the announcement at the Air Park West Recreation Center, where the NEOS play center was on display. The high-tech, interactive, portable play tower is one of the items to be funded by Lincoln Cares this year. The 2009 Lincoln Cares project list also includes the development of the Witherbee Park playground; a solar-heated pool and bathhouse demonstration project at Woods Pool; Union Plaza; and Boosalis Trail renovation from 17th to 20th streets. (More details on the projects are attached.)
Mayor Beutler also announced that Lincoln Cares has a new lineup of matching sponsors. Lincoln Parks Foundation will provide a 50-cent match for every dollar contributed, up to $15,000, for the next year. The Foundation joins Time Warner Cable (TWC), which is in its second year of sponsorship. TWC will provide $30,000 in matching dollars and another $30,000 for on-air promotion of Lincoln Cares.
"In the past six years, that small monthly donation from many people has added up to some big improvements for our City parks system," said Mayor Beutler. "I want to thank LES customers for continuing to support our parks through Lincoln Cares. And I commend Lincoln Parks Foundation and Time Warner Cable for helping us stretch those dollars even farther. In these tough economic times, this public-private partnership gives everyone in Lincoln an easy way to do their part for our parks."
"We're very grateful to the Lincoln community and are proud to be able to support this project and make Lincoln an even better place to live and do business," said Ann Shrewsbury, Director of Public Affairs for TWC. "We have nearly 300 employees who are proud to call Lincoln home, and this was another great way for us to give back to them as well as show our appreciation to customers here."
From its inception in February 2003 through January 2009, Lincoln Cares has collected $435,891 from LES customers adding a dollar to their bill payments and through direct payments to Lincoln Parks Foundation. An average of 4,974 LES customers donate to the program every month. Another $5,264 has been contributed through partnerships with Pepsi, Lincoln Benefit Life, Olsson Associates and Culver's Restaurants. The corporate contribution to Lincoln Cares now totals $390,000 for a total collection of $831,233.
Other projects funded in the first six years of the program include air conditioning at Antelope Park enclosed shelter; the acquisition of prairie and grasslands at Pioneers Park; the Nebraska State Liberty Bell Shelter in Antelope Park; restoration of the Four Wars Memorial and Pioneer Woman sculptures; the Sunken Gardens renovation; an addition to the Nature Center Prairie Building; the Park Middle School Teen Center; benches along the Holmes Lake Trail Loop; a shelter at Woods Park; the Bethany Park Shelter; the Green Team Youth Employment Program; the Youth Outdoor Adventure Program; Peach Park expansion; Pioneers Park Nature Center art work; the Jamaica North Trail Bridge; Bountiful Prairie sculpture renovation; historic lighting at Sunken Gardens; picnic tables at Bowling Lake; Trago Park Sprayground; lighting at Pocras Park; an upgraded toddler play area at the Ager Play Center; Lincoln Safari program; shooting sports facility; and Parker's Pals swim and recreation program scholarships for low-income youth.
"Lincoln Cares is a perfect fit for the mission of the Lincoln Parks Foundation, which is to provide funds to help enhance our parks and recreation opportunities above and beyond what the City should budget for each year," said Christie Dionisopoulos, President of the Lincoln Parks Foundation. "As Lincoln grows, so do the demands on our parks system. We believe strongly that Lincoln parks and recreation programs and facilities are fundamental to our community and we are excited to be a new partner with Lincoln Cares."
"We are very thankful for everyone who supports this program," said Lynn Johnson, Director of the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department. "With our tight budget, this program allows us to go the extra mile to keep the parks system one of the jewels of Lincoln."
To donate to Lincoln Cares, LES customers can add one dollar to their bill payments each month. Those who pay LES through automatic bank billing can add Lincoln Cares to their payments each month by calling LES at 475-4211.
For more information on Lincoln Cares, contact the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department at 441-8264 or see the City's Web site at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: cares).

Karkwa named Polaris Prize Winner
posted September 21, 2010, 1:11 pm by dscanland | Filed Under Music News | Leave a Comment
Tags: Karkwa, Polaris Prize
Karkwa was named the winner of the fifth annual Polaris Music Prize. This award, given to signify the best Canadian album of the year, was presented tonight at the gala ceremony held at CTV's Concert Hall at the Masonic Temple in Toronto. In addition to bragging rights, Karkwa take home $20,000 for their album Les Chemins de Verre.
"It's an unbelievable thing to win this prize. We have a lot of respect for this contest and we think they do it for the right reason (music). On suit le gala depuis son début, et c'est le prix qui nous touche le plus." – Karkwa
Karkwa joins the group of previous winners which includes Fucked Up (2009), Caribou (2008), Patrick Watson (2007) and Final Fantasy (2006). Their win is the first for a French language album.

Liisa Ladouceur, who oversees the Grand Jury, spoke about this year's decision.
"This was probably the longest and most emotional deliberation in Polaris history. The short listed records are all of extreme high quality and they truly resonated with members of the jury whether or not they completely understood the language of the lyrics," reflected Liisa Ladouceur. "What this year's winner indicates is that music is about emotion."
The Grand Jury this year are Rob Bowman (York University professor), Jennifer Charlesworth (The Georgia Straight), Leah Collins (Dose.ca), Del Cowie (Exclaim), Jonathan Dekel (Spinner), Amanda Farrell-Low (Monday Magazine), Jian Ghomeshi (CBC Q), Marc Xavier Leblanc (freelance journalist and DJ), Francois Marchand (Vancouver Sun), Andre Peloquin (Bang Bang) and Phillipe Rezzonico (Rue Frontenac).

Karkwa – Les Chemins De Verre
Dan Mangan – Nice, Nice, Very Nice

Radio Radio – Belmundo Regal
The Sadies – Darker Circles
Shad – TSOL

Our products, provide simple setup and complete integration with many of the leading SaaS applications to provide data backup and archiving, vendor migration, and managed security services.
We want to convey a professional & modern yet cool & fun feel.
You can see a little bit of our brainstorming design (no real designers involved) and get more info about our products and services at http://aanhouca.tech.officelive.com/default.aspx
We target the fortune 5 Million, (small, medium and large businesses) who are using or evaluating the use of Software as a Service applications within their companies.
We want to convey a professional & modern yet cool & fun feel.
The ideal logo would be a combination of a graphic element and our company's name "Centripetal Software" in a clean and interesting typeface. We should be able to use the name and logo separately. We don't mind if the "Software" in the name is smaller, "Centripetal" should pop more than "Software".
The logo should incorporate the notion of Centripetal Force in some way. Particulary using the definition "force that is directed inward toward the center". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force
As with any logo, we would prefer colored logos that work well also in grayscale, B&W, small sizes, 2D, etc.
The logo will primarily be used on white backgrounds but should look good on other light color backgrounds as well.
We're not too particular about colors, but have liked other logos that we've seen that incorporate oranges and blues (not necessarily together). Much of our current application uses the same color schemes you see on the http://aanhouca.tech.officelive.com/default.aspx pages (logos, gradients, etc.)

This summer, one of the hottest in Chicago history, has dealt some deadly consequences to swimmers seeking refuge from the heat.
Since mid-June, 12 people have drowned to death in Illinois and Northwest Indiana compared with 15 total drowning deaths in Illinois in all of 2011, according to data collected by the Chicago Park District and Lurie Children's Hospital.
Dave Miller, trauma coordinator at Lurie Children's Hospital, said that because of the way data is collected in Illinois, he is not able to report a definitive number of drownings, but he said the number of deaths is alarming.
"We are having a remarkably high number of drownings this year, but unfortunately we are not able to clearly demonstrate that though data," Miller said. "If a toddler falls into a pool and drowns, that is not necessarily reported to the Illinois trauma center because we are not required to report it."
Hospitals are only required to report trauma that results in a death such as a boating accident, but many drownings do not fall under the category of trauma.
The reason for the increase in deaths this summer isn't exactly clear, but Karen Sheehan, medical director at the Injury Prevention and Research Center at Lurie, said there might be several contributing factors.
"Because of the hot weather people are in the water more and because of the economy people are sticking around Chicago instead of going on vacation," she said "It's hard to know if it's any one thing, but if you increase the number of people that are getting in the water, there's just more chances for something bad to happen."
Chicago also has eliminated beach closures in response toE. coli levels in the water this summer, which Sheenan said could be yet another reason for the high death toll.
Park District officials said the most important step towards preventing drownings is to ensure that everyone who gets in the water knows how to swim.
"We encourage parents and caregivers to enroll their children in the learn-to-swim program that is offered free of charge at citywide pools year round for youth ages 6 to 17. Year-round swimming programs with nominal fees are also offered for toddlers, adults and seniors," said Eric Fischer, aquatics manager of the Chicago Park District.
Lack of swimming lessons is particularly a problem for minority children, Sheehan said.
Another important strategy for parents is to keep an eye on their children while they are in the water, even if there is a lifeguard present, Sheehan said.
"A lifeguard might be watching over hundreds of people, and the problem with drownings is it's usually a pretty silent death," she said. "People kind of drift under the water, so there is not a big commotion."
Chicago Park District pool and beach safety tips
>> Never leave gates open to the pool.
>> Make sure kids take swimming lessons usually by age 4.
>> Empty and turn over wading pools.
>> Use anti-entrapment devices in pools and hot tubs.
>> Have alarms on every door and window that leads to the pool area.
>> Make sure kids are swimming in areas designated for swimming.
>> Do not let kids dive in to natural water.
>> Make kids wear U.S. Coast Guard approved life jackets when boating or participating in water sports.
>> Do not let kids operate watercrafts such as jet skis. These require training and are intended for adults.

Sometimes the marketing gods bless you for all your hard work with a win or a competitor's failure. Competing with Shimano is in SRAM's DNA. The rivalry is probably deeper and more visceral than the bad blood between Trek and Spesh. And, in case you missed it earlier, Wiggo just tossed a bike their way. This after me and other media rode SRAM's answer to electronic shifting: you don't need that, it's better brakes that you want.
To the toss, one of our Twitter followers said
@bikehugger @drunkcyclist notice how those asymmetrical seatstays help the bike stay upright until it reaches the ditch…

The early dialect of C described by Kernighan and Ritchie in The C Programming Language (often called "Classic C") didn't include the keyword
void, and therefore had no type
void *. Lacking
void *, Classic C programs tended to use
char * as the type for a "generic" data pointer a pointer that can point to any data object. Unfortunately, this increased the need to use cast expressions.
For example, Classic C didn't include the now standard memory management functions
malloc and
free. In Chapter 5 of their book, Kernighan and Ritchie implemented their own allocation function,
alloc, which they defined as:
char *alloc(bytes) unsigned bytes; { ... }
This function definition is in the old, non-prototyped style of Classic C. In Standard C, the equivalent declaration would be:
char *alloc(unsigned bytes);
alloc function returns the address of the allocated storage as a pointer of type
char *. However, Ritchie designed
alloc to allocate storage for any type of object, not just
char or array of
char. When allocating storage for something other than a char (or an array thereof), the program must convert the
char * result into a pointer to the intended type of the allocated object a conversion that requires a cast. Kernighan and Ritchie used casts to convert the result of calling
alloc to something other than
char *, in functions such as:
struct tnode *talloc() { return ((struct tnode *)alloc(sizeof(struct tnode))); }
The Classic C implementation of
free posed a similar problem. Kernighan and Ritchie defined their version of
free as:
free(ap) char *ap { ... }
Absent the keyword
void, they omitted the return type to indicate that the function returns nothing. In truth, the return type defaulted to
int. In Standard C, the equivalent declaration would be:
int free(char *ap);
free to deallocate anything other than a
char or array of
chars required a cast, as in:
int *ip; ... free((char *)ip);
Standard C eliminated the need for these casts by embracing
void * as the generic data pointer type. For any object type
T, a C program can convert a
T * to or from a
void * without using a cast.

**1/2 (out of four)
If you think a thriller about people gleefully, legally killing each other sounds chilling, try this on for size: During the screening I attended for "The Purge," many audience members laughed at this examination of human nature and clapped and cheered when a non-violent father must finally take lives himself.
The movie's not perfect, and it means for us to support James (Ethan Hawke of last week's "Before Midnight") and his family, but please. Let's not take this lightly.
"The Purge" takes place in 2022, when once a year (from 7 p.m. March 21 to 7 a.m. March 22) all crime is legal throughout America. Though it would seem like prime vacation time, it plays out like a nationwide "Hunger Games" with voluntary participation and no prizes. Hate your boss? You can go all "Horrible Bosses" on him without consequences. Resent your neighbors? Feel free to stroll by their house and do something much, much worse than ask to borrow a cup of sugar.
Much of writer-director James DeMonaco's point, however, is that the purge--during which some folks hold purge parties and others just hole up and watch purge events on TV--becomes an opportunity for the rich to hunt the poor, like an extension of the horrifying YouTube videos featuring people beating the homeless. As he strives to protect his wife (Lena Headey) and two kids, James must decide what to do when a wealthy white kid bent on milking the purge for all it's worth demands that James release from his house a hiding homeless black man, dubbed "filthy swine" by the guy who wants to kill him, or face the consequences.
How disappointing, then, that DeMonaco's idea so bests his execution. A promising psychological thriller devolves into run-of-the-mill horror, with predictable jump-scares and people constantly being saved at the last second. It's intriguing and disturbing to consider what people might do with deadly permission, but "The Purge" would go a lot deeper into our terribly violent society had it explored the anger that builds up between ordinary citizens, and how it's normally released. Or just how folks in 2022 deal with the other 364 days of the year.

Goodbyes and A New Beginning
In truth, I have not really eaten at many new restaurants or made anything spectacular that I feel worthy to grace these pages but I have been spending time with friends, going back to familiar joints and hosting simple meals at home. Why favour routine over novelty you may ask? These are people and places that have become dear to me overnthe last two and a half years and I wanted to have strong memories to hold onto as I prepare to leave London this month.
Yes, my time here has come to an end and I will definitely miss my life here - the lovely city, the even more beautiful countryside, the dear friends I have made, the food, my lovely apartment, and the list goes on and on. While I started blogging back in 2003, it was only when I moved here that I made it more public - writing more about food and a little about travel, and less about my day to day life. And what a ride it has been! The blog opened up many opportunities - I made friends in the food and design blogging circles, it allowed me to hone my skills in photography and styling, and explore other creative avenues. I doubt I would have done all this if I were back in Singapore.
Blogging aside, I've also made many good friends in the last 2 plus years, you know who you are. Thank you for being the surrogate family to me and providing that support network here in this faraway land. Food is always something that unites us, especially the Singaporeans away from home and I am happy we have shared many a good meal togetherand hope that there will be more in the future.
This marks the end of a chapter, and as cliche as it sounds, it also paves the way for a new one. I am not just leaving London, but also leaving my day job - one which I have had for the last 8 odd years (or 12 if you count from the day I signed on to the job). It has come to define me in a way, people identify me with this job and it is become part of who I am, being an ambassador of sorts for my country.
But I am finally taking that step to do something I love, and to continue the creative journey that I have begun in London. I am very excited (and scared!) about my new adventure and am thankful that Inwill be embarking on it with a couple of good friends made here. I don't really know what my life will be like in 3 months' time but hey, that's part of the fun right? I am not sure if I will continue this blog or move over to a new platform but stay tuned. More will be revealed in time and I hope you will be as excited as I am! Here's a little teaser for you, it'll be something to do with vintage interiors, design, food, styling and hopefully more!
Right now, while I can't wait to get back and get started properly on the new gig, I am sad to leave and will be treasuring every moment of this last month in London. Boy, am I glad February has an extra day this year :)

Seaside Annuity Marketing Company Inc
I have started my own marketing company after 15 years of buliding companies for others. I have set up shop in my beachhouse on clearwater beach florida. I want to build a new marketing company with a little more relaxed feel than the corporate environment I left.
Licensed insurance agents that sell fixed annuities. Wholesale.
I am looking for a logo that comes across as a high end beachy laid back kind of look. Says professional and clean but not stuffy. I market fixed annuities and deal in large dollar amounts.

text: It's good to see that Google (GOOG) has some plans for Motorola other than selling it off for parts. Unnamed sources have told AllThingsD that Google has hired Brian Wallace, who for the past year has served as the vice president of strategic marketing at Samsung's (005930) American phone unit, to take the reins for marketing at Motorola. As we noted recently, Samsung's marketing team has been at the top of its game all year by producing witty, funny commercials that both mock rival Apple (AAPL) and that deftly promote Samsung phones by giving concrete examples of how they improve people's lives. So while most other smartphone vendors have made ads that make it look as though your smartphone will turn you into a cyborg, Samsung's ads depict the simple joy of using NFC to share videos with your friends. Although we don't know how much input Wallace had into these ads, it's nice to see that Google is recruiting some in-demand talent to help revive Motorola.

I don't have it hook up yet because I need a two wire speedo to have one working again. There is nothing wrong with the stock speedo. It worked fine. I use my gps to keep up with mileage and speed too. But I'm getting a code 24 and the truck starts to run a little rough till I stop and restart it. Is there any ideas of what I can do?

Non-conference play proved to be a breeze for the Wisconsin football team, but with the Big Ten season beginning this weekend, the Badgers will find out just how good of a team they really are.
The No. 8 Nebraska Cornhuskers come to Madison hoping to make their mark on the Big Ten and the Badgers in their inaugural conference game Saturday.
UW head coach Bret Bielema knows how big of a game this is and also how important home-field advantage will be.
"Camp Randall should be rocking," Bielema said.
The Badgers are not taking this game lightly by any means, andBielema wants students to get to the game early and make Camp Randall Stadium as loud as possible.
"We encourage everybody to get in their seat and bring as much red as possible and make that place electric," he said.
Saturday's matchup will be the first game at Camp Randall Stadium between two teams ranked in the top 10 since 1962, and with all the media attention that goes along with a game like this, the players have to maintain their concentration.
"You've got football, you've got academics; this is a busy time for us," Bielema said. "Our kids really have to be great about where their focus is."
Nebraska is undefeated and coming off of a 38-14 win at Wyoming. They run a fast-paced, no-huddle attack that utilizes a quick tempo to catch their opponents off guard. While this may be a different offensive scheme than what the Badgers employ, the two teams do share several similarities, which are not lost on Bielema.
"Both of our athletic directors are former coaches that had hall-of-fame careers," Bielema said, "Nebraska players are like Wisconsin players; they both really love to play the game."
Bielema and Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini have some similarities themselves, both getting their first taste of coaching at the University of Iowa. As a graduate assistant for the Hawkeyes, Pelini even helped coach Bielema for one season in 1991.
I know everyone will be watching and praying for a Badger victory. GO BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Healthy Brownie
I made a healthy Chocolate Brownie...
Do you believe me?
Well I did!
Not only is it gluten free it's filled with protein and fiber AND it is also right around 100 calories!
Yep it's true.
Now I won't like this brownie is not my favorite brownie on the planet. BUT it is a good brownie. The typical brownie is filled with butter and sugar. That is what makes it taste so good. I've found some healthy substitutes for the starch, fat, and reduced the sugar as well as used a natural sweetener in it's place.
If you ever find yourself in a chocolate mood but don't want the guilt of a traditional brownie. Give these a whirl. You won't be sorry!!
Black Bean and Avocado Brownies
1 15 oz can black bean drained and rinsed
1/2 an avocado
2 eggs
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup of sugar
1 tbs instant coffee
Preheat oven to 350.
In your food processor add in avocado and beans. Puree.
Scrape into the bowl of your mixing bowl, beat in eggs, honey, and peanut butter.
Once that is combined mix in the remaining ingredients. Spread into a greased 8x8 pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a tooth pick is inserted and comes out clean.

How many brownies are in an 8x8 pan ? Do you cut them small or large ?ReplyDelete
I cut them into 12 pieces... that is about 115 calories. If you do the larger sized... say 9 squares your around 150 calories. Give or take a few.ReplyDelete

I noticed you stated they were high fiber. Did you calculate the grams of fiber?ReplyDeleteReplies
Beans are high in fiber. That's why I made that statement. Unfortunately at this time I do not provide the nutritional value calculations. If you'd like you can do your own calculations at myfitnesspal.com or the various other calorie counter websites out there. Sorry I can't be more of a help.Delete

Yes, you read that right — frickin' laser beams. Prompting too many mainstream sci-fi culture references for our overly-geekish selves, our heads here at A&R are literally exploding like Alderaan right now over the idea of
sharks or ill-tempered sea bass motorcycles using lasers as a headlight replacement.
Setting its BMW phasers to stun today, our favorite Bavarian company is already exploring ways to replace the brand-spanking-new LED headlight technology that is just now making its way onto premium automobiles.
BMW hopes that laser technology will not only make for a more advanced headlight in terms of features, but also one that is more energy efficient.
Admittedly the company is only exploring the technology initially for its automobiles, but we can only imagine the laser headlights will trickle down to motorcycles before we have to travel 88 mph and go back to the future.

From Joe Walsh to Peter Frampton: The Story of the Talk Box
–Joe Lund
When it comes to guitar effects, there's something about the "talk box" that listeners especially love. A collective roar still rolls through the crowd whenever Peter Frampton breaks out the unit during live shows. The sound never fails to intrigue when Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way" pops up on classic-rock radio. Considering that the talk box has been around for several decades, it's remarkable how few musicians are familiar with the history of the device.
Intricate details about the talk box's various configurations are a story for another day, but the way in which the unit functions is basically the same, no matter the design. In essence, the talk box allows a musician to shape a sound, usually originating on guitar, via a plastic tube running from the effects unit into or near the performer's mouth. The musician "mouths" words in such a way that an instrument/vocal hybrid is produced and the guitar appears to "speak."
The earliest known variation of the talk box dates back to 1939, when pioneering pedal steel player Alvino Rey attached a specially-wired microphone – designed to modulate his instrument's sound – to his wife's throat. In performance, his wife hid behind a curtain and "mouthed" Rey's guitar lines, creating what was called a "singing guitar." This novelty presaged the development of the Sonovox, a device that used small speakers – again, attached to a performer's throat — in place of a microphone. Several Hollywood films made use of this device, but for rock fans, its most notable moment came when it "spoke" the days of the week on The Who's 1967 album, The Who Sell Out.
The back story for the modern-day version of the talk box begins in the early '60s, when Nashville steel player Pete Drake first used it on an album titled Forever. Designed by fellow pedal steel player Bill West, the contraption consisted of an 8-inch paper-cone speaker attached to a funnel from which a plastic tube emerged. Speaking with M – Music & Musicians in 2012, Joe Walsh revealed how this version of the talk box fell into his hands a few years later.
"The James Gang used to play in Nashville," explained Walsh," and I became good friends with Dottie West, the famous classic country singer. We would go to her house and people would come over, and we would sit around with an acoustic guitar and pass it around. That could be anybody – Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell, Roger Miller — whoever was in town. Dottie's husband, Bill West, was a pedal steel player. He actually invented the talk box that was used on Pete Drake's album. One day, while I was at Dottie's house, Bill went out to the garage and got it and gave it to me. He said, 'Here, you plug this end into your mouth. You'll figure it out.'"
Walsh said it took a couple of months for him to become proficient with the device. "After I got the hang of it, I then figured out how it was built. I went to a hardware store and got some parts and made one for myself. 'Rocky Mountain Way' was the first time I used it on record. I showed it to a friend of mine named Bob Heil, who has a manufacturing company, and he [started making] them. I still have the original — the one Bill West gave me — tucked away in a storage locker."
In fact, the original talk box used on "Rocky Mountain Way" had only enough volume for studio use. Together, Walsh and Heil developed a unit powerful enough for live shows. In a 2010 interview with Musician's Friend, Heil explained: "Joe had recorded 'Rocky Mountain Way' using an 8″ speaker and a funnel, a device used in Nashville by the steel guitar players. Well, it wasn't very loud so you couldn't use it live. So here we are, two ham radio operators on a Sunday afternoon out in my plant. We grabbed a 250-watt JBL, built a low-pass filter, got all the plumbing together, and voila — the talk box. That's how it started. After that tour, everybody's going nuts! 'What's this thing he's got?' So I put together a commercial unit called the Heil Talk Box. Then Peter Frampton's girlfriend called me wanting a Christmas present for Peter. So I sent a Talk Box. The rest of the story writes itself from there."
Interestingly enough, Frampton had first seen the talk box back in 1970, when he played on George Harrison's All Things Must Pass album. Speaking to Premier Guitar in 2012, he explained: "Peter Drake was also on the record. During a slow moment in the studio, he got out this little box with a pipe, plugged in his steel guitar and started playing. I asked Peter where he got it from and he said he made it, so that was a bummer. But not long after that, Bob Heil, who had done Humble Pie's sound, started making talk boxes and gave me one as a present. I used it right away in the studio for 'Show Me the Way,' before the Comes Alive! LP came out, but it wasn't until I brought out the talk box live that I realized its full power."
Through the years, use of the talk box has cut across generations of players, in a variety of genres. From Rufus's 1974 funk smash, "Tell Me Something Good," to Avenge Sevenfold's "Lost," from their 2007 self-titled debut album, the device has always found a place in contemporary music. It's a safe bet that long as audiences continue to cheer when it's used, the device will always have its place. "They [still] laugh and hoot and howl … to this day," Frampton says. "I recently ran into Joe, and we started talking about being the two guys known for the talk box. We shared a laugh about how audiences are still like, 'What the hell is that?'"

State Department Releases Trafficking Report
In a press conference held earlier today, Secretary of State Colin Powell unveiled the Annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, mandated by the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000. This year, the report investigated government anti-trafficking efforts in 89 countries, excluding those with insufficient information or fewer than 100 trafficking cases. As with the 2001 TIP report, countries were categorized into three tiers based on compliance with the Act and level of government commitment in combating the criminal activity, particularly in the areas of prosecution, victim protection, and public education.
The report identified 19 Tier 3 countries, all failing to comply with the Act and demonstrating little effort to meet the standards: Afghanistan, Armenia, Bahrain, Belarus Bosnia, Cambodia, Greece, Indonesia, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Myanmar, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tajikistan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. While the number of Tier 3 countries declined from 23 reported last year, Powell urged continued international cooperation. The annual Trafficking in Persons Report shines a much-needed light on this global problem. We use the information we collect to bolster the will of the international community to combat this unconscionable crime. We welcome and encourage the vital sharing of information by other countries, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals, said Powell. The US seeks to work with all nations to document this egregious form of exploitation and to cooperate with them to end it once and for all."
Fifty-two countries were classified as Tier 2 not meeting full compliance with the Acts minimum standards, but making significant efforts to do so. Eighteen countries were deemed Tier 1, or fully compliant. South Korea, recognized for its extraordinary strides in the past year, advanced from Tier 3 into Tier 1.
The Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act 2000 states that by 2003, sanctions could be imposed on Tier 3 countries.

More trains expected for Tuesday commute
During Tuesday morning's commute, Metro-North's New Haven Line plans to increase service between South Norwalk and Grand Central Terminal to about 90 percent of normal conditions, with 75 percent of normal service on the Danbury line, and a full run on the New Canaan branch.
The scaled-back service is linked to deep snow at rail yards, preventing trains from emerging from the depots. Harsh weather conditions in the past led to breakdowns of the state's fleets of older M-2, M-4, and M-6 trains. On Monday, about 60 percent of the necessary fleets that operated were comprised of new M-8 cars.
"The gradual return of service is entirely due to the challenges of digging out of the yards and not to mechanical problems with older fleets," Metro-North spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said.
In the winters of 2010 and 2011, nearly 80 inches of snow in Connecticut paralyzed the New Haven Line, and at various points, more than half of the state's fleet of worn-out M-2, M-4, and M-6 cars were being repaired or out of service. The three older-model cars are vulnerable to breakdowns due to blowing snow, which can short out circuitry in vulnerable boxes beneath the trains or stall traction engines when it is sucked through cooling vents on the trains.
For the first morning rush hour since the Blizzard of 2013 hit, the New Haven Line resumed service between New Haven and Stamford Monday with half the normal inbound service.
Throughout the morning rush hour, the railroad reported scattered delays of up to 20 minutes, but said service was running on or close to schedule as of 10:40 a.m.
Anders said ridership on the outer New Haven Line was down about 50 percent Monday.
Around 8:20 a.m., a train originating in New Canaan and heading to Grand Central Terminal broke down near Woodlawn, N.Y., when a traction motor on the third of five M-6 cars on the run short-circuited, causing a "serious smoke condition" on board the car, forcing passengers to flee to cars in front and behind the damaged car, according to Anders.
Before all customers left the smoky car, several customers opened the four emergency windows on the car and the smoke on board dissipated quickly, Anders said. The train remained halted so crews could inspect it, but resumed its journey and arrived about 39 minutes late, Anders said.
The cause of the breakdown is still being determined, but the type of malfunction is common during snowy conditions and often caused by water in the motor, Anders said.
Marty St. George, a New Canaan commuter, said passengers in the car described seeing flames and electricity arcing from the failed motor after leaving the car. Anders said the short circuit automatically shut down the fuse, snuffing the flames.
"There was no need for a Fire Department response and no fire extinguisher was used or needed," Anders said. "A traction motor is the component which transforms electricity into movement. When it grounds out, essentially blows a fuse, it turns itself off. Once the power is off, it does not continue."
After being shut down at 10 p.m. Friday, service between New Haven and Stamford remained suspended until Monday morning due to the deep snowfall that buried rail yards in New Haven and Bridgeport.
On Monday, Metro-North continued work geared to ensuring the system's trains and rights of way operated smoothly after the storm-enforced shutdown.
Crews continued to further clear deep snow from rail yards in New Haven and Bridgeport and to clear track switches that allow trains to emerge from the depots, according to Metro-North.
Two jet engine snow blowers, two front end loaders, and several triple axle trucks continued to clean off rail cars in the yards, including clearing the pantograph mechanical arms atop the trains which are used to draw power from overhead lines, according to the railroad.
