" Friendly and competent service. Everyone there is very respectful and straight forward. Clean environment that felt safe in the Covid era. This is the 3rd car in leasing from them and will use them again. "
" I had reached out to Lexus Of Smithtown via email to see if they had a car I was interested in. Next day John called me with the details following up with an email and I made an appointment for that afternoon. We signed the contract and car Was ready 3 days after in tiptop condition. The preowned manager, Matt, spent some time going over the car features with me. soon thereafter I got a call from tech to go all all the features including navigation radio settings etc. Couldnt be happier With the service, the friendliness and the professionalism Of entire crew. Additionally I returned an expiring lease car and the return With Denyse was seamless. Even Lori, the receptionist was a delight. Great experience! "

" My lease was up in the time of Covid and I decided to explore what Lexus had to offer. The dealership was clean and taking the proper precautions and I was able to test drive as well (alone) . I did have to wait to get the car I wanted and full disclosure, because of the slow down, inventory is tight but Ken made it work for me which I really do appreciate. Huge perk was my appointment with Abbas- he went over every little detail and feature my new car has to offer over the phone which was painless and super easy (like how to turn on my vented seats and navigating the entertainment system) Lexus IS known for their customer service , and this definitely has not been compromised during covid. "

" Wonderful service and sales people. Also all the help to try to understand how to work the rest of the gadgets in the car everyone is very pleasant and helpful "
" Bought a nice car All involved, salesman, leasing return tach all great Manager excellent "
" The leasing experience at Lexus of Smithtown was a total pleasure! Courteous, informative, fair and efficient! Our salesperson Charles Greene was so easy to work with. He understood my needs and went out of his way to make my leasing experience happen! He gave me good advice and there was no hard pressure sales! Will definitely see Charles again in 36 months! Thank you! "
" Kind, helpful and answered all questions regarding how to work the car and maintenance of the car. Was genuinely interested in making sure customers were satisfied with service. "
" James spent one hour reviewing the features of my new vehicle. He was professional, courteous and patent with me during the virtual class! I would strongly recommend his services. Renee Hartman my salesman was also very courteous and answered all my questions He was quite transparent and this I would say meant a lot!!!! "
" I picked up my UX 250 H today from Lexus of Smithtown.. I loved the car when I test drove it, but when I saw it today, it was so beautiful!! I just felt it was a dream. It is everything I possibly could of wanted. But also which is so important is the way you are treated. I was treated like a Queen and Lexus of Smithtiwn when above and beyond to make my welcome special. They went out of their way to help me and the customer service was awesome. I felt so at home and the service I received was sincere and Full of help and honesty. Thank you so much Lexus if Smithtiwn for not only helping me select the perfect car for me, but the most awesome customer service. I would like to send my thank you and the most special appreciation for everything and making my experience the greatest to: Shawn, Ben, Phil, Denise,Bob, and Ken You are all so special and again thank you for making my day the greatest. One very happy customer...Faye L Cornett "
" Thank you for having Abbas walk me through the IT features that are in my new Lexus UX. I wasn't feeling confident with all the technology. Talking with Abbas has definitely improved my outlook. Thank you! "
" Excellent customer service from Abbas. He was very nice, helpful and detailed when explaining how the car works. "
" I have always heard such good things about Lexus, but never thought I was interested in their vehicles. I set out on a mission to buy/lease a BMW which my heart was set on. After spending 3 hours at BMW, I realized their vehicles were not within my price range for all the safety features that I was looking for. My boyfriend needed to stop at Lexus to pick up touch up paint, and as we were walking through the lot, I saw the NX 300 up close and just knew it was the vehicle for me. Shawn helped us and made everything so flawless and easy. His personality was very professional as well as funny and outgoing. Sometimes going to a dealership can be overwhelming, but I can honestly say I didn't feel uncomfortable or pressured to make any decisions I didn't want to. I was reassured the base model of this car had all safety features I was looking for and was well within my price range. I drove off the lot knowing I made a confident decision and feel so safe in my new NX 300. Abbas set up a call with me a few days after buying the vehicle to thoroughly go through all the features and functions of the car with me over the phone. I was so surprised that it had even more features than I could have ever asked for in a base model luxury vehicle. I am so happy and am glad I made this decision. I talk to highly of Lexus to everyone and know some people that would like to look into the NX 300 as well!! Thanks again!!!! "

" Professional-polite Never felt rushed absolutely no pressure! Made my whole process painless and easy! I would highly recommend this dealership they went above and beyond "
" There was a recent recall for 2017-19 Lexus RX 350 models. Lexus of Smithtown called me to schedule an appointment and told me that since they had to drop the gas tank it had to be less than half full. I dropped off the car with about a quarter tank of gas, was given a loaner, and five hours later they called to tell me the car was ready. Not only had the recall service been done, but the car was washed and the gas tank filled. I've purchased or leased four cars from this dealership and always serviced them at the dealership and I've always found it to be a pleasant experience. "
" My experience with Lexus has been excellent so far. Shawn, my salesman, went above and beyond to help us make the sale. Then he was thorough plus he smiled at all times, which made us feel comfortable. He answered my questions and never rushed me. My next experience with Abbas was amazing. He took his time and explained the whole car. Thumbs up to him. "
" Our salesperson was Chris Bello. Wecannot say enough about the positive experience he provided from the time we entered the showroom to the day we picked up our car. Chris is personable, knowledgeable, accommodating, and most excellent in every way. On the day we arrived to pick up our car, we noticed a few things went unnoticed in the inspection process to make it eligible to be a certified vehicle. Chris jumped right to it and had a damaged rim replaced, he himself replaced the damaged panel inside the lift gate. In addition, he polished out a scuff on a side mirror. All of this was done with a smile on his face and a pleasant attitude. Frankly, in all of the years of car buying, we never had the pleasure of enjoying the experience more. I'm sure you know that you have a great asset in your employee. We also received a follow up phone call today from James O'Coonor. He couldn't have been any more helpful or accommodating. We are very appreciative of the fine service at your dealership. Many thanks, Deborah Kelly and Pete Boettcher "

" This is my fifth Lexus I either purchased or leased from this dealership and with each transaction the service gets better and better. I have dealt with Charles Greene a number of times and the service I receive from him is impeccable. Also, Abbas the tech expert was thoroughly knowledgeable and friendly. An enjoyable experience "

" This dealership was very friendly everybody was very helpful I had a pleasant experience with Smithtown Lexus I would recommend them to anybody who's looking for a car you're definitely top-notch facility is very clean and it salesman was extremely nice "
" Bought my 2020 UX about 3 weeks ago. This is now my 2nd car from them. Rene was an amazing salesman who was very acknowledgeable about each car and it's features. James called me today to go over the cool features of the car. Wow- I'm blown away with the service from Lexus of Smithtown. Thank you Rene and James!! "

" Overall, i was very happy with my experience, a few pieces of information was not shared with me so it created a bit of confusion, but it was not a big deal "
" I felt very comfortable at this dealership. I had been to many and this one stood out because of the personal service. Frank Politi was amazing.. he helped me shop (in the pouring rain) and went "above and beyond" for my Dad and I.. even after I left he continued to look for a car based on what we said we were looking for and found the perfect fit.. I left there thrilled about the vehicle and felt like a made a friend. I would gladly recommend this dealership but especially Frank.. Denise was also very helpful (thank you Denise) and they both made me feel at ease.. I know going forward they will be there to help should a need arise.. Great experience.. thanks so much Frank!!! Best of Luck Always.. Lori "
" Abbas and the entire staff at Smithtown Lexus did an outstanding job of making sure our experience was stress free. Abbas spent his time thoroughly reviewing the features of the Lexus SUV. He was amazing! "
" Went to other dealers and really wasn't ready, Smithtown and cars set up for review, and answered all questions we had, they were very busy but took the time to show us multiple cars. Over all very pleased and would go back and also tell friends, worth the ride out from Queens! "
" Man they did a hell of a job. I brought my is350 in for a safety recall. They had the car back to me in the same day after giving me a loaner and filled the tank. I'm not going to lie I was skeptical thinking they were going to try to add or find something that need to be fixed but they didn't like the last time. "

Frank is funny, outgoing, and creates a great atmosphere for the customers. Frank goes above and beyond for you & is pretty much available around the clock, even when he is out of the office. He is committed to giving his customers a great experience. If you're interested in a Lexus, Frank is your guy at Smithtown Lexus! "

Frank will make the process as smooth as possible and will definitley make you laugh! James was also very helpful and patient when going over the car features.

Building upon UNCTAD's BioFuel initiative, this event is jointly organized by ICTSD, UNCTAD and SEI, and aims to bring together experts, countries and other interested parties to discuss recent developments in global biofuels markets, especially those concerning sustainability and trade.
The event shall also discuss the proposed changes in the EU policy for the sector, which plans to limit the participation of biofuels produced from food crops to a maximum of 5% of the initial goal of 10% renewable energy in European transport by 2020. Some food crops, particularly the oil-based crops, are estimated to increase GHG emissions through indirect land use change.
The meeting seeks to bring different perspectives on recent development trends in biofuels markets, including those of countries with established biofuel industries, as well as prospective producers and consumers in developed, developing and least developed countries.
In special, the event seeks to raise constructive views and proposals on how to reconcile biofuels expansion with food security, and environmental sustainability objectives, while at the same time allowing for technological progress to take place in a manner that does not exclude developing countries from this growing market.

The "world's smallest vertebrate" title has always been held by the powerful fish lobby — until now. But this little frog changed everything. Paedophryne amauensis shows us just how little spine an animal can have.
One of the questions troubling biology has been the exact scale at which life can sustain itself in certain forms. How big is a bunch of nerves, before it becomes a brain? How big or small can a single cell be? And, in this case, how small can a vertebrate get? Up until now, Paedocypris progenetica, a seven to ten millimeter fish was declared the smallest vertebrate on the planet. Then, in Papua New Guinea, a teeny little frog that comes in at an adult size of seven to eight millimeters stepped up to the plate.
The discovery of this particular frog has more significance than the need to update to The Guinness Book of World Records. This smallest of vertebrates is one of two new diminutive species of frog discovered in the area. Researchers have noticed that fish and frogs have always been neck and neck when it comes to claiming the title of the smallest vertebrates. While the origins of certain fish are murky, past species of tiny frogs have been found in widely separated habitats, meaning that multiple frogs evolved down to this size independently of each other. With the discovery of this new species, scientists are beginning to consider that there may be an ecological or evolutionary reason why frogs gain an advantage to such a small frame. What is it about their lifestyle, environment, or physiology that makes having the tiniest spine in the world a evolutionary benefit? Hopefully we'll find out soon.

|Caracal (1)
The African golden cat (Caracal aurata) is little known by science, but is the subject of much tribal superstition in many parts of Africa (3). Pygmy tribes in Cameroon carry the tail of the African golden cat when hunting elephants to ensure good fortune, and the skin is used in some areas during circumcision rituals (3). The African golden cat is about twice the size of a large domestic cat and is robustly built with a short tail. Despite its name, the fur varies from marmalade orange-red to sepia-grey and may be spotted all over, unspotted or somewhere in between (3). Captive specimens have been known to change from grey to red and vice versa and this may also occur in the wild (2). The throat, chest and undersides are white or whitish, and the belly is marked with bold dark spots or blotches (3). Its round face has a heavy muzzle, and the small, blunt, un-tufted ears have black backs (3). Males are larger and heavier than females (3). The African golden cat is also known as the 'leopard's brother' as local people believe it follows the leopard (3).
Little is known about the biology of the African golden cat, which has a fierce reputation with local people (3). It is a terrestrial hunter that has been seen hunting in the daytime, but based on the activity of its preferred prey it is more likely to be crepuscular and nocturnal (3). It feeds mostly on small mammals, such as rats and hyraxes, and birds which are plucked before eating (3). It also takes monkeys, and its long, heavy jaw enables it to tackle powerfully built duikers (2). The African golden cat has also been known to raid chicken coops and kill domestic goats and sheep (3).
The African golden cat is solitary, and like other felids, it is likely to maintain territories, marked with scent and faeces (3). Captive animals have been recorded giving birth to litters of two kittens, after a gestation of 75 days (3), although in the wild one kitten per litter seems to be more common (4). The new born kittens are well hidden in a fallen, hollow log or a similar concealed den (2) (3). Their eyes open after six days, and they then develop quickly; walking at 13 days and eating whole animals shortly after 40 days (3).
The African golden cat occurs in the tropical rainforest region of equatorial Africa; from Senegal, Sierra Leone and Liberia, west through the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo, south to northern Angola, and east to Uganda and Kenya (3).
Primarily inhabits lowland, moist forest, but the African golden cat also occurs in recently logged forest along rivers, and in mountainous areas in bamboo forest and alpine moorland (2) (3).
The lack of biological and population information means it is hard to determine the status of the African golden cat in the wild (4). However, its habitat and prey populations are known to be contracting (2). The moist forests of West Africa have been heavily degraded and the remaining areas are patchily distributed (4). 'Savannization', a process in which forest is turned into savanna as a result of slash-and-burn agriculture and logging, has probably led to population declines and fragmentation (4). There is some hunting of the African golden cat, as cat skins regularly appear in markets (2), and hunting of small antelopes decreases the cats' prey (4). African golden cats are also killed while raiding poultry sheds or going after domestic sheep and goats (3).
The African golden cat is listed on Appendix II of the Convention in International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which means that international trade should be carefully monitored to ensure it is compatible with the species' survival (5). Hunting of the golden cat is prohibited in 12 of its range countries, and hunting regulations exist in Gabon, Liberia and Togo (4). Also, despite the forest loss and prey depletion occurring in much of its range, the African golden cat is reported to exist in secondary forest and survive on small rodents, and thus may be in less danger of extinction as some other small cats (3). In addition, large areas of relatively pristine forest still exist in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo and Gabon (4). Hopefully action can be taken before this beautiful cat and the remarkably diverse forests it inhabits decline further.

Honoree: Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Western Regional Medical Center
For nearly 30 years, Cancer Treatment Centers of America has been revolutionizing cancer care, and in December 2008, CTCA opened the doors of its Western Regional Medical Center in Goodyear.
Under the guidance and strong leadership of President and CEO David Veillette, the center has proven to be different from other hospitals and treatment facilities. CTCA patients find a comprehensive and integrative approach to fighting cancer — all under one roof. Even more importantly, patients receive what Veillette calls the "Mother Standard" of care. More than a gold standard, the Mother Standard reflects the way stakeholders would want their own loved ones to be treated if they had cancer.
An innovator in health care, Veillette's background in developing digital hospitals, including building the first all-digital heart hospital, provided the basis for Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Western Regional Medical Center to become the first and only all-digital cancer hospital in the United States.
This innovative design maximizes medical care, as patients benefit from greater efficiency created by real-time access to patient data; improved communication across departments; faster development of treatment plans; fewer medication errors, resulting in improved patient safety; and reduced turnaround times for lab results. In one year, Veillette and CTCA have made a tremendous impact on cancer care, not only in the Valley, but also across Arizona.

Finalists: Banner Simulation Medical Center
The Banner Simulation Medical Center in Mesa is changing the way doctors, nurses and other health care practitioners learn, and in many cases, re-learn their profession.
Under the leadership of Dr. Mark Smith and Carol Noe, the center pioneers health care learning with the use of high-tech mannequins. The mannequins help replicate myriad medical conditions and emergencies, all of which are conducted in educational training centers to reduce medical errors and improve patient care. Wired to computers, these mannequins can speak, breathe, bleed and mimic a host of medical ailments, including heart attacks, stroke and even birth. Smith, who completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology in Phoenix, helped conceptualize and develop the simulation-training center. Noe led the development and standardization of simulation curricula for physicians, residents, medical students, nurses and allied health professionals.

NextCare Urgent Care
In the early 1990s, the concept of urgent care medicine was something new within the health care industry. But NextCare Urgent Care, under the leadership of founder and CEO Dr. John Shufeldt, has changed the way millions of patients view medical care.
From its beginnings 17 years ago in Mesa, with a staff of less than 10, NextCare has grown to become the country's largest urgent care provider with 55 clinics across the nation, including 21 in Arizona. NextCare stays on the cutting edge of technology and reduces patient wait times by offering Web check-in, call-ahead patient scheduling, and electronic kiosk registration. Recently, NextCare became the only urgent care provider in the nation to offer conclusive H1N1 testing using Diatherix, which allows providers to decisively diagnose the specific type of virus in order to ensure the most effective treatment. Unlike some competitors, NextCare offers onsite medication dispensing.

Today we're continuing our Q&A series with Bell Curves alumni who are currently pursuing or just recently finished their MBAs. Recent posts have included Q&As with Goreleigh Willis and Crystal Forde about their first year MBA experiences. This time around Kibra Yemane shares some of her insights and advice on her MBA experience. Kibra completed her MBA at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business.
I applied to business school in order to transition to a career in Human Resources. Prior to business school, I worked for a public accounting firm for about six years. While I enjoyed my time, I also realized that I was more passionate about talent management, recruiting, diversity – areas that typically fall under the HR umbrella. When I did some more research, I realized that more and more companies placed an emphasis on the HR function – and were interested in training the next crop of HR leaders through leadership development programs. When I realized one of the requirements for this program was an advanced degree, I knew the MBA was the next logical step for me.
What was most surprising to you about the application process?
It was HARD!!! I thought it would be as simple as writing an few essays, taking a test and then I would get into the school of my dreams. Then reality hit me! You really have to take the time to understand why is it that you want an MBA – and then you have to make sure that this actually makes sense. Comparing my first draft of essays to the final draft actually submitted – its like looking at a completely different applicant! In addition, all business schools are not the same and each school has a special "something" that makes it unique. Once you are able to understand all of that, you have to be honest with yourself and take stock of strengths and weaknesses – if this means taking a few extra courses, hiring a tutor, or reassessing your desire for an MBA, do what you need to do to make it happen.
Is there anything about your experience with the GMAT/application process that was unique or surprising?
I took the GMAT way too many times – and I am fully convinced that last time I took it, the Lord knew that I could not take it again! It actually ended up being my highest score – and the area that gave me the most trouble (of course, the quantitative section), was the area that I scored the highest. In addition, I went through the application process twice. Both were definitely humbling experiences – but the fact that I never gave up let me know that an MBA was something that I really wanted. For some people the path is relatively straight; for others its a little more bumpy. At the end, you end up at the same place!
What specific advice would you give those prepping for the GMAT now?
Take the time to study and be serious. I think for the first 6 months of my GMAT prep, I thought I was being serious, but I really wasn't. The first step is to take an honest assessment of where you stand as you begin to study. If the most math you have done lately is calculating your waiter's tip (and you struggle with that), then perhaps you should make sure you have the basics down before tackling the complex problems. Get a tutor for areas where you need some serious help. And also remember that not everyone is meant to get a 700+; while its nice, it definitely won't guarantee you admission. When I scored the highest, everything in my life involved the GMAT – I did problems on the train during my commute, I got to work 2 hours early to study (and stayed after work for another 2-3 hours), and I also did everything in my power to stay calm. For me, this is what worked – find out what works for you and do that.
What was the most useful resource to you during the application process?
How has business school impacted your career?

I am almost certain a colleague has installed a keylogger on my system. I am totally new to IT security, but have substantial linux / windows / programming experience.
The system I believe is compromised is running windows 7 with Eset smart security. Any compromise would be from custom-written scripts (likely python.)
Can someone point me in the direction of resources I would need in order to find the compromise? It would also be helpful if I could then find the origin of any infiltration.
I'm looking to spend 10-30 hours on this, and more if it yields solid results. I'd obviously like to implement measures to counteract future attacks - so long as I'm not dedicating more than 5 hours per week on it. Is this possible?
Are there IRC channels or forums I could check out for more in-depth security / forensics information?
Thank you!

Hi, this is more like a curiosity. For some time I tried to find what PlayStation emulators represent pixels accurately, because as I realized according to my testing game - Crash Bash - that it is all different.
For test I used certain image from in-game that is always same and static. First I tried Xebra, ePSXe, no$psx and MESS. What did I see? All the pixels where represented differently. To be sure which one is correct just like real PSX hardware I had to compare it with something trustworthy. I was too lazy to take out my real PSX so I used emulator of PSX on PSP - it is made by Sony so it must be accurate as it is written with all the hardware documentation.
Pixels on PSP screen are small but I had no problem to see that they are exactly the same with only one emulator that I tested - Xebra. But my curiosity was not completely satisfied - I took another PSX emulator that is considered to be very accurate, that is Mednafen (I used Mednafen core on Retroarch but it is the same). What did I see? Xebra and Mednafen represented pixels exactly the same so what some people write about most accurate PSX emulators being Xebra and Mednafen is true - at least in this aspects. But there are many examples to prove it. I also comapred their timing and it is also the same - only a tiny, nearly invisible difference but only because my processor is heating up too much when too such demanding emulators are running at the same time. It is also worth noting, that ePSXe can represent pixels very accurately but only with proper plugin used. The plugin name is "gpuBladeSoft" - the author stated it should have pixel geometry accurate and in fact it seems true. I compared it with Xebra (before comparing with Mednafen), and it was like 99% same as Xebra. Anyway it still doesnt make ePSXe accurate (it is well known anyway) as for example in Crash Bash there are some images (like when you press start button during gameplay) where you dont see anything. ePSXe, no$psx, PCSX Reloaded dont show there anything - only Xebra and Mednafen.
In attachment there is a comparision between Xebra and Mednafen. There is only one difference that I can see but it doesnt have anything to do with pixels accuracy. It is not about different characters nor the black bar at the upper part as it doesnt matter Have fun finding it.
It is very interesting that after so many years and so many attempts to write PSX emulator, only two are accurate - but still not being cycle accurate as it will take some time and a lot of processor power.
Comparison of PSX emulators and their accuracy
Discuss here anything related to ECC, emulators, ect!

Jaimoe Of The Allman Brothers Band On Their Upcoming Performance At Mountain Jam + Drumming To A Different Beat
It's been an eventful year for the Allman Brothers Band, since they announced in January that guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks would be leaving the group at the end of 2014.
Scheduled activities for the year, which marks the 45th anniversary for the group, were suddenly transformed into something that seemed like it might be a farewell victory lap. Since then, members of the group have expanded on their initial statements and while things still aren't quite clear, it appears that there's at least a glimmer of hope that the band could carry things forward in some form.
For the moment, they'll stay focused on the music with a limited number of festival appearances scheduled for this summer, including an appearance at the 10th annual Mountain Jam, where the Allmans will perform their classic 1969 self-titled debut and the 1970 follow-up 'Idlewild South' in their entirety.
It's their first appearance at Mountain Jam since 2009 and when we caught up with Allmans' drummer Jaimoe, he was quite enthused about the upcoming gig. When we asked him why the band had chosen to perform those two albums, he shared that the reasoning was pretty simple.
As he explained, the songs on those albums are shorter than some of the extended jams that wound up on subsequent Allman Brothers albums. What makes it special, is that they've only performed the albums in sequence a handful of times over the years.
"We've done it maybe three or four times in 45 years. It's always been those two [together] or one of another one, like 'Eat A Peach' or 'Brothers and Sisters.'
He digs the concept of doing a whole album. "People think that's cool and it helps knock out what we're going to play on the song list! [Laughs] That's what I like about it."
The veteran drummer sees quite a few possibilities in the future, including the chance to spend more time focused on his own band, Jaimoe's Jasssz Band. He shared some thoughts on that subject as well as a few additional Allman Brothers stories during a recent conversation with Ultimate Classic Rock.
It seems like each Allman Brothers album has a few stories surrounding its creation. For the first album, whose idea was it to have the entire band pose naked for the photo that's inside the gatefold album cover?
When I was at Muscle Shoals, it was basically Duane [Allman] and myself. Berry [Oakley] would come down in the middle of the week when it wasn't really too busy. Because he was [working with] Second Coming, which Dickey [Betts] was in and Dickey's wife, Dale [was also part of the lineup]. One day we were in the studio and I asked Duane, I said, "Hey man, you said you want to have two drummers -- why you want to have two drummers?" He said, "Because James Brown and Otis Redding had two drummers." I never asked him anything else again about it! [Laughs]
I have no idea who came up with that [photo idea]. We were out at a little place where Otis Redding's ranch was at and Otis and Alan Walden, Phil Walden's brother, had adjoining properties. So we were shooting these pictures out on Alan's property. That little creek that ran through there, I have no idea how in the hell we got in it, but I can tell you who filmed it. Phil Walden was out there and this guy Stephen Paley, a photographer from New York City.
I can't remember who else was out there, but it was so goddamn funny, because somebody said, "Take your clothes off and y'all get in the creek." S---, Lord knows, you might as well have been telling the policemen to have a donut. Everybody had their clothes on and there wasn't nobody bashful about it. We all ended up in the f---ing creek!
For you as a drummer, was it an adjustment when you started playing in a setup where there was two drummers?
No, because I played in high school marching band and there was a lot of drummers. This is what I don't understand about most drummers. They play in marching bands in school and if they played in the symphony orchestra, then they understand about a bass drum, a snare drum, cymbals -- the percussion instruments, because basically a set of drums, that's what a set of drums is. They have a problem and they say they can't play with another drummer.
That to me sounds like baseball -- everybody wants to be the Goddamn pitcher! I don't know what for -- I never wanted to be a pitcher! I always wanted to play first base or center field! Billy Cobham heard Butch [Trucks] and me playing one day. He said he kept sitting there listening to that and he said, "Man, that drummer guy's playing some interesting stuff." He said he couldn't stand it any longer, so he came downstairs to see who the drummer was and he said it was two drummers. He said he couldn't believe it. He said he could never play with two drummers. Now, he was in Drum and Bugle Corps in the Army and all kinds of stuff.
There's quite a few people who said they couldn't play with two drummers and I don't understand it. It's no different than playing with two guitar players, two trumpets or two anythings. There's space there and I've seen one drummer cover as much space as three or four drummers, or three or four guitar players playing. One guy with an attitude could probably play as much as all of them. But [playing] together, I don't have a problem with that. It opens your head up to other ideas and different approaches -- it does for me, anyway.
The festival scene has become a big thing for bands in recent years, to the point that you can largely build a tour around festival appearances like this one. You're playing in front of large crowds and because of the nature of the event, you're constantly reaching new fans. That has to be pretty cool, 45 years into this thing.
It's almost like [being] a teacher. People ask me, do I teach? I don't teach. If you've got a problem, I can help you work it out, but I'm no teacher. My wife's a teacher and she's a damn good one. A person like me could reach people that kind of have an idea what I'm doing and maybe a few musicians, probably between the age of 15 and 40 or 50. But a teacher can reach people from 8 to 80 and they know how to do that.
What's going on with your band? You had the 'Renaissance Man' album in 2011. Is there any new music percolating on that front?
We have an album in the plans. About four or five months after the first album was released, I was ready to do another one. But it's got a lot to do with material and I want other people in the band writing other than [guitarist] Junior Mack. He wrote most of the songs on that [first album] and there's no problem with it -- he had songs and nobody else did have songs that was the kind of stuff [that fit that album]. He writes so different -- you hear one of his songs and then you hear another one and it sounds like another person wrote it. Most people who write, you can hear a lot of their personality in a lot of their songs.
He seems to have the ability to show different [sides of himself] and I think [he does that] really well. I don't know about the other stuff, but a lot of it has to do with [the fact that] I don't really want anything sounding alike. I mean, it should have the flavor, but every person has their own personality and every song has its own personality. Even with Stevie Wonder, I listen to some of his albums sometimes -- not as much as I used to, but listening to it, it begins to sound like a symphony when you just put them on and let them play. Turn 'em up and just forget about it -- it begins to sound like a symphony. You can hear little nuances that was influenced by this, that or the other.
Dickey Betts' writing does a lot of that. I think a lot of that on Dickey's part is because he writes pretty much alone. You know, he writes with other people, but when he does there's too much over-influence….not [with] the baking of the cake, but putting all of the icing on it. When you don't have someone that puts that kind of stuff on songs that you're recording or songs that you write, it limits the range of where you can take it. You only have four or five personalities to work with.
You've got double shuffles, you've got funks, you've got 'Stormy Monday'-type stuff], so you've got maybe four or five little personalities that you can work with. What makes it different is when you have people that do arranging and they can put all kinds of little icing and stuff on the songs. Because Ray Charles really, it was like Disney -- he just moved the characters around. I've been listening to his music a long time and he basically moves the characters around in terms of the arrangements and what he uses, he uses a lot of mambos, a lot of church-feeling stuff and that's like when he's doing most of the writing for his compositions and that's basically what Disney does.
He'll take Tarzan and Tarzan will be the girl in this one and the prince in the [other one], he'll be this. There's two or three stories that they have and they just move it around!
I just play music by listening and responding, so I don't know anything about writing songs or arranging and all of this stuff. You know, it's in my head, but I don't know how to get it out. So I have people who know how to do that and you've just got to try to keep it as interesting as possible without getting too complicated. So that things don't sound like MTV. You'd walk by MTV an hour ago and you come back and it seemed like the same song was playing. I want to stay as far away from that as I can in my band.
I saw a quote from you about this band that I love, regarding why you do this project outside of the Allman Brothers and you said that "I get to play music, can't nobody fire me, and I have horns and one drummer." When you put it like that, there's no reason why you wouldn't be doing what you're doing with this band.
My band, I've basically tried to build it on the same thing as what I've been doing for 45 years. I mean, there's a lot of stuff that went on in the Allman Brothers Band. A lot of stuff, musically.

With its singularly moving dissection of the fragility of a dancer's life in a brutal business,"A Chorus Line"is a sacred musical for many people in the theater, especially those who, like Chicago-based director and choreographer Mitzi Hamilton, were involved in the development of the original Michael Bennett production in the early 1970s. They do not like anyone to mess with the show. They just want it done as it is supposed to be done.
Hamilton has staged more than 35 productions of "A Chorus Line." If you want the authentic deal, close to the way it was originally staged, she is your woman. If you want some kind of revisionist updating, or progressive new staging, you will need someone else. And thus Hamilton's production at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora is very much "A Chorus Line" as you may well remember it from its several long Chicago engagements — the music, the multifaceted mirrors, the familiar choreography, the 1970s gestalt, the raw kids on the line. The kids have to change, of course. But while Hamilton is watching, not so much the show.
Such are the resources that Paramount has been throwing behind its new self-produced series that Hamilton has been given what she needs to do what she does with a piece she knows inside out and back again. There are 17 musicians under the baton of musical director Shawn Stengel. The mostly Equity cast holed up in Aurora includes several veterans of the most recent Broadway revival and its subsequent tour, including Jessica Lee Goldyn, who dances spectacularly as Cassie; Luis Perez, who plays the director Zach with a nice mix of cruelty and compassion; and Kevin Curtis, who makes for an emotional Richie. And this, of course, is an ideal venue to stage what is inherently a proscenium show: "A Chorus Line" always works best when the human body seems exposed on a huge stage, within a venue big enough to either swallow dreams or let them soar.
On balance, and with some exceptions, this particular "Chorus Line" is better danced and acted than it is sung; not all of those famous Marvin Hamlisch numbers soar as they should at this level. But Pegah Kadkhodaian sings very sweetly as Diana, as does Jay Reynolds Jr., as an empathetic Paul, and Katie Spelman as an unpretentious Maggie. But the spirit of the show shines throughout, the attention to the myriad little details therein is beyond reproach, and the dedication to the intensity of the experience is absolute.
In this fine inaugural season, Paramount is introducing new audiences to such titles as these, and it is offering curious souls the full Broadway-style monty at affordable prices, featuring actors with a lot more experience and depth than you'll find on most tours these days. You do not want to bring to "A Chorus Line" a young person who does not understand what this show is really about — dreams tempered by the agony of so little time and so many ways for them to go wrong, and the way artists must both collaborate and compete and what that does to your head. But Hamilton would never find herself in such a spot.
When: Through Feb. 5
Where: Paramount Theatre, 23 E. Galena Blvd., Aurora
Running time: 2 hours, 15 minutes
Tickets: $34.90-$46.90 at 630-896-6666 or paramountaurora.com

Julia Louis-Dreyfus Surpasses Lucille Ball's Record & Makes Emmy History
The Veep star makes Emmy history with her 14th comedy nomination (Lucy got 13!)
We all love Lucy, but when it comes to Emmy nominations, Julia Louis-Dreyfus finally has the iconic comedienne beat.
On Thursday, the erstwhile Seinfeld star made Emmy history when she received her 14th Emmy nomination in the category of outstanding lead actress in a comedy series, surpassing the record long-held by I Love Lucy star – and enduring TV favorite – Lucille Ball.
Louis-Dreyfus, 52, nabbed the nod for her role as gaffe-prone Vice President Selina Meyer on the HBO show Veep. It's her second nomination in this category for her fictitious beltway role, and she took home the statue in 2012.
Overall, the actress is the only woman who has won the Emmy three times, for three separate comedy series. She first won in 1996 for her own iconic role – self-absorbed Elaine Benes on Seinfeld – after being nominated four times prior.
In 2006, she grabbed gold for her title role in The New Adventures of Old Christine, and earned nominations (but no wins) for the same role from 2007 to 2010.
But Lucy fans need not despair: even though Louis-Dreyfus broke Ball's record for Emmy nominations, the I Love Lucy star still claims more Emmy wins – for now, anyway.
The groundbreaking comedienne who helped popularize the medium of television took home four Emmys during her career, as well as the Governor's Award in 1989, nearly five months after her death.
In addition to her role on Veep, Louis-Dreyfus also lends her voice to the new Pixar film Planes, out next month. She also stars in the upcoming film Enough Said opposite the late James Gandolfini.

In business, as in life, fortune favors the bold and the persistent. Larry Maddaloni is both a bold and persistent man. He owns F.A. Alpine Window Manufacturing Corp., a multimillion-dollar company headquartered in Chester.
In business, as in life, fortune favors the bold and the persistent. Larry Maddaloni is both a bold and persistent man. He owns F.A. Alpine Window Manufacturing Corp., a multimillion-dollar company headquartered in Chester.
The company manufactures and installs custom commercial-grade windows, primarily for high-rise and commercial buildings in the New York City area. Maddaloni has built the company from the ground up with hard work, invention and determination.
Maddaloni came to the United States at the age of 18 from Italy. In 1966, he didn't have much money, schooling or English. He attended machine-shop training as a teen in Italy before following his family to the United States, seeking a better life for himself and his bride.
After landing his first job in a machine shop, Maddaloni realized he was not earning enough to support his family and applied for a truck driver's license. He walked from Brooklyn to Long Island City to interview with the Ronzoni pasta company, and talked himself into a job, even though he did not know the local geography.
He became a top driver within a year. He made $139 a week delivering pasta, and took a weekend job to earn extra income. Working in construction turned out to be more lucrative, and he decided to start his own business.
Maddaloni got into the window business by accident. After fitting out a new factory, he impressed the owners so much that they asked him to be their plant manager. Given the downturn in his construction business, he took the job, and learned a lot about windows.
He still passionately wanted to own his own business, so he bought an old Volvo box truck and started a mobile window installation company. He tried partnering with existing manufacturers, but ultimately decided to vertically integrate the business on his own. In 1992, he bought the building on Route 17M where his business is now based.
Over the years, Maddaloni's business has suffered as much as it has succeeded. The construction market took a nosedive in 2008, alongside the global recession. In late 2009, Maddaloni's wife was diagnosed with a terminal illness. He took care of her, neglecting his business in the process. After she passed away in 2011, Maddaloni realized his company had lost a lot of money.
However, in 2012 Maddaloni came back to work full-time, and has returned the company to profitability within the past year.
People have helped Maddaloni along the way: His old boss at Ronzoni gave him his first commercial construction project, which led to the fit-out job at the windows company. Richard Lease, a local real estate broker, helped him with the down payment on his building. A longtime local banker, Rolland Peacock, helped him manage his cash flow in the early years. Now Maddaloni gets free confidential business counseling from the SBDC on financing, marketing and corporate strategy.
When asked about what contributes to his success, Maddaloni says, "It's simple. I know my business. I know what customers want, and I know how to sell my products." With a twinkle in his eye, he adds, "I focus on the things that I want, and I don't stop until I get them."
Maddaloni exemplifies the model entrepreneur: He's faced significant obstacles and always finds a way to succeed.

VDR Streamdev plugin
I am using Serviio as serve the movies i have on the home server to the TVs around the house.
The home server is linux based and is used as PVR too vith VDR software.
VDR have a plugin which enable the stream of live channels (stremdev plugin) which give a web-frontend on port 3000 with actual channels and corresponding link to the stream.
I can add a single channel to serviio using the Live Stream source and using, as url, the link to the stream
example: http://127.0.0.1:3000/T-272-940-4006.ts
The problem is that this should be done for each channel (more than 200 now) and should be changed and reviewed each time a channel is added or changed (due for example to a re-tune).
Since the VDR plugin offers a web interface, a serviio plugin to fetch the web page and extract channel names and stream links to the sources will be perfect.
The streamdev plugin can even produce an m3u playlist but afaik playlist support is not there yet .
Anyone interested in developing the plugin?
I can give more informations if needed.

Hotel Royale was a novel written by Todd Matthews some time in the early 21st century. A copy of the novel was carried by Colonel Stephen G. Richey of NASA on board his ship the Charybdis in 2037.
It proved to be an unfortunate choice, as the novel was filled with clichéd characters and bad writing. When Richey's ship crashed on the planet Theta VIII in 2044, an unknown alien force created a physical representation of the novel, including the hotel and all its characters, in an artificial environment meant to provide a simulation of normal life for Richey.
Unknowingly, though, the aliens had sentenced Richey to a sort of Hell, dooming him to live the remainder of his life in the world of the novel with its poorly written characters and no real Human interaction.
The opening line of the novel was "It was a dark and stormy night." Jean-Luc Picard was less than enthusiastic about its literary merits.
Richey described it in a diary entry as being "a badly written book, filled with endless cliché and shallow characters." (TNG: "The Royale")

"The King's Speech," the sweeping true story of a reluctant monarch who overcomes his stutter to lead England through some of its darkest days, gave its Academy Awards competition a royal thrashing, capturing Oscars for best picture, best actor and best director.
"I have a feeling my career has just peaked," joked Colin Firth, who starred as King George VI and won the award for best actor.
On a night which featured 94-year-old Kirk Douglas echoing his son Michael's dramatic appearance at last year's Golden Globes, there was an accidental f-bomb, a hint of politics and a pair of new hosts helped along the way by Academy stalwarts Billy Crystal and Alec Baldwin. But by the time the show aired, there were few surprises, as the awards were doled out as if by script.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The general consensus leading up to Sunday night's event was that "The King's Speech" had become the favorite. And when Steven Spielberg came out to present the Best Motion Picture Oscar and a final montage of the nominees had Firth's closing oration from the movie as narration, it seemed the competition was over. And sure enough, "The King's Speech" took the evening's top prize, adding it to a haul that already included Best Director, Original Screenplay and Actor.
Natalie Portman was the night's other big winner, capturing a Best Actress for her role in "Black Swan." The pregnant star thanked her fiancee and "Black Swan" choreographer Benjamin Millipied for giving "me my most important role of my life."
"The Fighter," the film based on the life and career of "Irish" Mickey Ward, landed Best Supporting actor and actress awards for Christian Bale and Melissa Leo. Leo provided a one of the night's memorable "moments," dropping an f-bomb that was bleeped thanks to a short tape delay. Later Bale assured everyone he would not be following suit, as he had done enough of that in the past.
The Anne Hathaway-James Franco experiment at the 83rd annual Academy Awards has to be considered a success, as the young actors played it loose, helped in large part by writers who didn't try to make them sound too stand-uppy. The opening Best Picture nominee montage with them superimposed into scenes from each film was particularly successful. And concerns that it would feel weird having a Best Actor nominee serving as co-host were quickly forgotten, as it was a total non-issue.
It had to be a bitter sweet night for "Inception" director Chris Nolan who led the night in thanks from winners. His brilliant film garnered eight nominations, winning 4 awards.
Politics, once a staple of the show, worked its way into the speech of Best Cinematography winner Wally Pfister, who thanked his "union crew" while accepting for his work on "Inception." In case anyone missed the point, he alluded backstage to the state of affairs in Wisconsin, where public employees and the Republican governor are locked in a bitter battle over bargaining rights.
"I think that what is going on in Wisconsin is kind of madness right now," Pfister said. "I have been a union member for 30 years and what the union has given to me is security for my family."
Crystal made a brief appearance, to talk about his experiences hosting the Oscars eight times, and to remember King of Oscar hosts, Bob Hope, who offered the classic line, "Due to some repair work on Hollywood Boulevard, my star is now a manhole cover."
The evening closed with YouTube sensation PS 22 from Staten Island singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," as all the night's winner's came out on stage.
