Throughout the 20th Century, Brazilian music and jazz were intimately entwined, particularly during the bossa nova boom of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Here's an overview of Brazilian and Brazilian-flavored jazz, with artists new and old...
This page covers the Letter "D"
Paul Desmond "Bossa Antigua" (RCA, 1964)
As an architect of the West Coast "cool" style, saxophonist Paul Desmond certainly could lay claim to a big piece of the Braz-jazz puzzle. Sadly, though, this album where he tries to do just that is not one of his career high points, with orchestrations that range from overly-baroque to flat out icky... Still, this does feature some of the earliest jazz recordings of Milton Nascimento's work, and is also notable for the participation of Brazilian chanteuse Wanda de Sa, who was best known for her work with Sergio Mendes's Brazil 66. The rest of the album is devoted to songs composed by Edu Lobo, who was Wanda De Sa's husband for over a decade. This album didn't do much for me, but many folks consider it a classic.
Irio De Paula "Sozinho" (Philology, 1995)
Irio De Paula "Jazz-Samba Ao Vivo" (NelJazz, 1997)
Tom Jobim's canonical compositions get an extra-gooey workthrough, with guitarist De Paula -- who has worked with several major jazz players, including Chet Baker, Gato Barbieri and Eumir Deodato -- leading a mellow ensemble, augmented by string arrangements worthy of the master. In some ways, this is a bit much, but also quite inviting. Depends on your tolerance for "easy listening," I suppose... But I think this is well within the tradition set down by the master, and Jobim fans will probably thrill to the interplay of the guitar and Riccardo Ballerini's sprightly arrangements. Not bad!
Irio De Paula "Sem Batera: 2002" (Azzurra, 2002)
Irio De Paula "Amigo Baden" (Azzurra, 2002)
Irio De Paula "Samba Jazz" (Azzurra, 2007)
Irio De Paula "Viajando" (Azzurra, 2007)
Irio De Paula "Retrato Do Rio" (Blue Music, 2007)
I'm sure the role of the trombone as a lead instrument has been a constant source of contention among jazz fans, but I have to say that it doesn't do much for me here. Still, this is the bandleading debut of one of Brazil's most successful mainstream jazz players, Raul De Souza, who later emigrated to the US and became a leading session player. Here he works through a primarily homegrown set, including one of his own early compositions alongside material by the likes of Tom Jobim, Carlos Lyra and (for exotic effect) Duke Jordan. I'm no jazz critic, but this album mostly strikes me as a bit unsubtle and overly energetic. Also on board are many of the early leading lights of Brazil's jazz scene, including pianist Cesar Camargo Mariano and percussionist Airto Moreira, who kicks in with some nice Cuban-flavored percussion.
A pretty funky set from an American-style party band whose sound never quite clicked with Brazilian music fans... Trombonist Raul De Souza led this soul-oriented octet, which also featured percussionist Robertinho Da Silva, organ player Helio Celso and saxophonist Oberdan Magalhaes (later of Banda Black Rio). The "Black Rio" soul sound hadn't really hit Brazil yet, so these guys were kind of shooting in the dark... But it's a fun set, a mix of earnest funk and deliberate kitsch... They covered hits like "Spinning Wheel" and "You've Made Me So Very Happy," alongside giddy instrumentals with titles like "Fried Bananas" and "Cantelope Island." It's goofy, but better than I had expected... Worth checking out.

Judging by comments on various topics, it seems that most Paleo folks eat a good amount of eggs. I certainly eat a lot more eggs than I used to since going (mostly...) Paleo.
Since most chickens - even pastured chickens- eat feed that contains soy, should we be concerned about soy phytoestrogens that pass from the chicken to the egg? Is there an upper limit on the number of eggs we should consume in a day?

"I don't think food trucks will be such a big threat to established businesses in years to come," says Geller. "Right now, many restaurants see the trucks as new and disruptive. But food p l o
Todarello tapped his own savings to follow his Italian-cooking dream, and the pita-making pair, Kyriakides and Sherwood, relied on financial help from family.
Overcoming unusual roadblocks
A particular challenge for mobile kitchens—aside from rising gas
prices—is location, location, location, as in, needing a new one every day. When Marination Mobile started out, Saxton and Edison parked in a different spot practically every lunch hour, trying to decide where they'd draw the best crowd.
Fortunately, that's since changed. Marination Mobile now has a predictable weekly route—a different set location every day—and contracts with each location's owner. Even so, they regularly get calls from businesses begging the truck to stop nearby. "A lot of local shops say business actually increases when we're nearby because we draw customers who might not have stopped otherwise," Saxton says.
Parking was also a front-burner issue for Two Pitas in a Pod when it first started. Kyriakides or his partner drove another vehicle to hold their desired spot two hours before the lunch rush. "I'd also see people pull into a good parking spot and offer them lunch if they'd give it to us. It was crazy!" recalls Kyriakides. Fortunately, they now have contracted spots at several locations, no free lunches required.
Push-back from local brick-and-mortar businesses can also be a challenge. Kyriakides says that, in the past, several bar and restaurant owners in one New Jersey town promised to make his life miserable if the pita truck parked near them and competed
for business. In that same town, food truck owners and local businesses eventually squared off in a very chilly city council meeting. The results were so unfriendly to food trucks— ranging from exorbitant new licensing fees to heavy restrictions about where they could park—that Kyriakides picked up and took the truck to another town. Which is, fortunately, something you can do with a mobile business.
trucks really don't want to tick off other restaurants or businesses. They want everyone's business to increase." Although the climate is improving now that food trucks are so popular, parking and zoning rules remain a simmering issue in a number of cities. Many towns regulate how far mobile food businesses can park from schools, parks and established food businesses; limit the number of trucks allowed on each block; or even require trucks to carry GPS monitors so city officials can keep an eye on them. Parking in metered spots is often illegal, so truck owners must contract with parking lots or curry the favor of other businesses.
Todarello of Rocco's Amore chose the latter route. Four nights a week, he parks his gourmet Italian food truck outside Medford's Southern Oregon Brewery. "They serve wonderful craft beers in their taproom, but they don't have a kitchen. By bringing our two specialties together, we both do a really brisk business. We're a perfect match," he says. Todarello is also providing food for local wineries' outdoor concerts this summer, doing corporate catering and bringing great eats to the local farmers market.

My Name Is Caroline
LP (Item 12115) Mercury, 1978 — Condition: Used
A killer soul set from Caroline Crawford – with production, arrangements, and songwriting by Hamilton Bohannon – soaring, beautiful, uniquely soulful sounds from the late 70s! Crawford's got a hell of a voice – equally well-suited to deeper soul ballads and uptempo groovers – and with Bohannon on board, there's plenty of groovers – although we like the mellow cuts just as much! Crawford was sort of Bohannon's big vocal discovery, and the Mercury efforts were a good use of his instrumental sound in a vocal driven framework – one that succeeds not just on the clubby soul level of his own records, but which also hits a more emotional tone than a lot of the dancefloor soul of the era. Johnny Allen contributed the string orchestrations – and titles include "Riding On Your Love", "Tell Me You'll Wait", "Coming On Strong", "It Rains Because" and "Caroline Breakdown". (Cover has staining, wear, and some pen on the back.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

1. Buy a sample gown
Buying a sample gown is a great way to save big money on your big day without compromising on style! As opposed to ordering your own custom gown, simply purchasing the boutiques dress from the floor can help you make your budget go further! Just make sure to check the dress for any possible stains and tears as it has of course been tried on before by other shoppers. As long as you keep this in mind though, you could make your wedding dress dreams come true without breaking the bank! Sample wedding gown availability differs from each bridal boutique to the next but check out these great ones we even found online!
This sample Jim Hjelm style 8903 from Forrest Paper and Bridal Company is a modified A-line bridal gown, strapless empire pleated bodice accented with crystal flower detail, pleated watteau back and chapel train. And because it's a sample gown, it's 52% off the retail price.
This Watters 9050b gown is a silk shantung strapless bias pin fold gown with full a-line skirt. It was originally $1750 but the sample version is just $750!
2. Buy a white bridesmaid dress
While bridesmaid dresses are typically much less expensive than a gown classified for the bride, many of them are just as elegant and beautiful as the gowns you may pay the big bucks for. Particularly if you are open to wearing an off white shade or incorporating other colors in a sash or accents – this could be the money saving option that's right for you.
Particularly if you are planning a black and white wedding, this sweet dress is elegantly simple, with clean lines and flattering fit! Not to mention… it's under $100!
This elegant bridesmaid dress, at only $136, features a beautiful a-line neckline and soft ruffles. Totally do-able as a wedding dress!
3. Buy a preowned wedding dress
If you're determined to find that designer gown that works in your budget, buying a used wedding dress can be a great choice! For the most part, bridal gowns are only worn for that one special day and after a professional cleaning, can be as good as new! Not to mention, buying used is a great way to go green.
This mermaid style Jasmine F473 ivory dress has a sweetheart neckline and features cascading flowers that flow into a semi-cathedral train. It's almost 30% off retail price and was never worn by the previous owner.
At 40% off, you can steal this Priscilla of Boston Maeve designer gown for far less than a designer price! Not to mention, we love the pockets.
4. Buy a gorgeous non-bridal formal gown
While not specifically designed as bridal gowns, formal dresses in shades of white and ivory can be perfect on your wedding day as well. Far less expensive than bridal dresses, it's a great way to slash your budget while not losing out on fun embellishments and fashion forward touches.
If you're feeling bold, this sexy Grecian style is a stunner. From BCBG, it's about $350 and packs a load of style!
We're crazy about the detailing on this stunning drop-waist gown from Sue Wong. Listed as a prom dress this could so easily work as a wedding gown. Ruffles, beading, and embroidery oh my!
It just takes a little imagination and research and you can find almost any gown within your budget!

France just held its Cannes Film Festival. Paris, Milan and London have Fashion Week. But Brussels just had Intel's inaugural Research@Intel day, and Light Peak was one of the celebrities making its appearance there. Light Peak was seen "wearing" a laptop, and the Press cameras were flashing.
What we did show at the event was a laptop computer with Light Peak built in. It was running bi-directionally at 10 gigabits per second over a single cable. The Press and Academia were impressed. Light Peak is an optical I/O technology targeted at consumer computing devices. It does run bi-directionally at 10 gigabits per second, simultaneously carrying multiple existing protocols such as Display Port and PCIe. It has two straight forward benefits – one, it's real fast, and two, it simplifies computing for the user. Multiple protocols over one cable means a reduction in the different types of connectors that exist on a computer. That reduction in port diversity results in simplicity for the user. And fast is important as more and more rich content moves between computers, TV, smartphones and other consumer devices. Here I discuss the benefits: LPK The technology consists of a controller chip and an optical module. The optical module consists of of minature lasers and photo detectors. It converts electrical signals to optical ones, and visa versa. Here is a picture of the optical module: More information on Light Peak can be found here. Showing Light Peak at R@I Europe was fun. The press were excited and many reports were generated. There were a number of other Intel Labs' technologies on display as well. TFI News from France created this short video of the event. The Intel News Room Europe also has more information. Well there you have – Light Peak making its appearance at a European Ball. I heard it will make its next appearance at the Research@Intel Ball coming up in California. Watch out Cannes!Comments are closed.

The Boy Scouts of America have for years refused to allow gays and lesbians to serve in the organization. Recently, a lesbian who was serving as the den mother for a group of Tiger Scouts in Ohio was outed after she raised questions about the group's finances. In response to her questioning and the decision of someone to out her the Boy Scouts of America terminated her involvement with the organization. When she was replaced several parents of kids in her section of Tiger Scouts protested outside the Boy Scouts of America office and demanded she be reinstated. So far, the organization is refusing to change its discriminatory stance.
While I have been aware that the Boy Scouts of America discriminates against gays and lesbians for years I had no idea that it also openly excludes atheists. Groups that foment hatred and discrimination—especially groups that "serve" children should lose their tax-exempt status.
The article I read can be found at: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_SCOUTS_GAY_LEADER_REMOVED....
I was an Atheist Girl Scout Leader. I never discussed it though, because I guess it never came up. I don't think I remembered that about the Boy Scouts when I bought popcorn from my nephew this year for Boy Scouts. I certainly won't next year!~ Melinda
Thanks Steph. It's a good cause and I don't need the cookies.

Fall, 2011 Elm Ridge Updates
"See the Light" with us !
We have just started using a "Cold Laser" to treat acute and chronic pain and join the thousands of people that are amazed at how well it works. Sometimes the effects are IMMEDIATE. The technical reps tell us it works by "activating cellular activities." Other research suggests that it works possibly at the same enzyme (COX) that the NSAID's work at and therefore inhibits the synthesis of the cellular instigators of inflammation and pain, the prostaglandins. Like our clients that have tried it with simply amazing results, we say: "We don't really know how it works-- it JUST WORKS!"
We are working on a page for this website dedicated specifically to this exciting new treatment option-- specific research studies, potential uses, client testimonials. In the meantime, we invite you to try it yourself to see if it is helping your pet. The first two treatments will be free for you to see if it might help. Benefits seem to last about 5-7 days before a treatment has to be repeated. It is not dangerous, painful, or time-consuming. A treatment lasts about 5 minutes. By the time you sit down and relax with your cup of our coffee, we will be done. (You can take the coffee to go!)
Not all conditions will respond as quickly or at all , but right now we are seeing positive results about 75% of the time. Give us a call today to set-up a time for you to try it. (PS: although we cannot actually put the laser on YOU (just your pet) it is legal and safe for you to try it on yourself. One of our clients tried it on his foot with plantar fasciitis and said the pain that he had dealt with for two years was gone in two minutes. )
He will never be forgotten...
In Memoriam: Our Friend and Colleague, Dr. Dean LeBeau
January 26, 2011, will always be remembered in our hearts as the day that God asked his special angel, Dr. Dean LeBeau to return to heaven continue his work there. On that fateful day, Dean fell off at ladder in the home he worked so hard to build, and suffered a fatal injury. There is not a single person that ever knew Dean-- a colleague, client, minister, friend, business associate-- that would describe him in any way except the most caring, compassionate, gifted, selfless, inspirational, vivacious person we had the absolute honor to know. His passing is a huge loss for our community, our profession, and of course his beloved family.
Every pet owner that was graced to have Dean as their vet at any time, will tell you fondly how Dean would talk to their pets like they were children, and how he cared about his patients like no other vet ever did. The tales of his gift for healing and caring were so numerous, our staff began referring to him as the "Urban Legend, " which made him laugh out loud.
I first met Dean when I was only 12 years old, and he inspired me then to become a veterinarian. Fourteen years later, he hired me for the emergency clinic which became my main life's work for two decades. He continued to mentor me all those years and became a cherished friend. I had so much respect for him, that when I began Elm Ridge, I begged him to come out of retirement and work with me part time. It was not the fancy established clinic he was used to, but he filled our little office with his trademark humor, skill, love, and compassion.
When the rumor came out that he was coming out of retirement, I had some of his old clients calling me at home in the middle of the night in excitement: "Is it true? Is he coming back?" So sadly, his return to our profession proved to be short-lived.
However, I intend to see that the lessons he taught all of us in the profession will not end on January 26. Dean was involved in raising money for Ohio State's Veterinary School, for a special project spearheaded by his 1970 graduating class, that will help teach new students how to be better vets and people, and communicate more compassionately and effectively with their clients. With Dean's enthusiasm, his group raised $200,000 for the project ! Elm Ridge plans to donate a plaque to this center with Dean's picture and the message his son found on his desk after his death: "What we do for ourselves dies with us; what we do for others lives on." Dean's legacy will to be to teach these "newbies" the importance of compassion as well as skill.

ERAH Mascot Dillie Deer Wins Contest and Becomes a Media Star !
Our Official Mascot of Elm Ridge AH is Dr. Butera's pet deer, Dillie. We entered Dillie in a video contest for her GPS Zoombak Collar, and she is the official winner !! Her grand prize is $1,000 !! You can see her video on You Tube, under "Dillie the Blind House Deer" or at www.zoombak.com. To celebrate her win, Dillie will be treated to her favorite dinner of linguine and roses-- yum ! Since her contest win, Dillie has become a national star. We have started a facebook page for her, too.It has been very surreal meeting and talking to people from all over the world about Dillie. Elm Ridge clients have known and loved her for 5 years-- now the world is finding out what a sweet and loving soul she is.
Dillie has her own website, at www.dilliedeer.com, with a webcam. The purpose of the Dilliecam will be to use this to educate children in schools, home schools, etc about deer, wildlife conservation and rescue, pet care, and veterinary medicine. The webcam will not be available all the time-- a lady needs her privacy, you know !
If you have young children and they like Dillie, they can write Dillie in care of Elm Ridge Animal Hospital, or , yes, she does have e-mail now-- email@example.com. Dr. Butera will see that Dillie answers all the letters to children. While her website is under construction, you will be able to find more about here on her page on this site.
Zoombak is of course delighted with her stardom. She is their ideal celebrity spokesmodel-- and they never have to worry about her showing up drunk on the Tonight show , being caught having an affair with Rudolph, or needing propofol to fall to sleep. We have some Dillie T-shirts for sale through our office or at CafePress.com, too-- just a fun little thing to do-- and the proceeds go to our rescue efforts and to the low vision disability center in Arkon.
In other news, we are now on Facebook ! Become a fan-- check out our clinic calendar, pictures, and blogs. The facebook page is easier to update than our web pages, so most of our photos and videos will be posted there. Check it out today-- it's free !
Introducing: Online Product Ordering and Home Delivery
ERAH has teamed up with Webster Veterinary Supply to bring you the convenience of online or over the phone shopping and HOME DELIVERY. You will be able to order heartworm and flea products, grooming supplies, prescription diets, and prescription items from our website or with a phone call. The products are then shipped right to your door ! And-- our prices will usually be less than PetMeds Express and the hospital-not some internet giant-will be earning from it. This in turn, will help us keep our costs down in other areas. This system will also give us the ability to offer products to our clients that we don't usually carry, or only want to have a small supply of on hand at any moment. Our in-clinic prices for most items will be the same or less than the online store,since there is no shipping or middleman if you pick things up in person. However, the online store allows us an unlimited inventory of items without having to keep a large inventory in stock.
Introductory Discount: The first time you use the online ordering system, you will receive a 5% rebate on your first transaction invoice. (This will be sent to you from our clinic in the mail. Please allow two weeks for delivery.)
Only existing clients can order prescription items (and only with our doctor's approval-- by federal law!) but we invite pet lovers around the world to order non-prescription items and enjoy the savings. You can access the web portal for the online ordering athttp://elmridgeanimalhospital.vetsourceweb.com, or by using "Online Ordering" link to the left
We proudly recommend Royal Canin Pet Foods for all pets !

Have you ever run a Pub? You can add your pub history to the UK pub history site. You can contact the pub history site via my email : Kevan. There are over 10,500 images on the site and more than 47,000 pages of pub history - these numbers increase every day as I add new pub history research. The pub history site has now been evolving for more than ten years, with a significant number of additional pub history researchers who regularly update the site with historical detail and imagery, old and new.
This is a local search engine of the UK Pub history site. You can search by surname, street address, or public house name. The search engine updates weekly. If you are looking for a specific pub history listing, some of these can only be found in the sitemap - see the navigation bar on the left.
site search by freefind |
A listing of historical public houses, Taverns, Inns, Beer Houses and Hotels in London.
I am using the site listings in the first instance, all supplied by Keith Emmerson - East London & City CAMRA.
This is the third edition of the East London & City Beer Guide. The area covered is huge, from Fleet Street eastwards to the boarders of Essex, and from the Thames northwards to Chingford: over 1000 pubs in all.
The East London & City Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale Ltd; ISBN No.1 85249 055 1; COPYRIGHT: The Campaign for Real Ale Ltd. 1991.
This East London & City Beer Guide includes all public house but only those with real ale get a full description. Establishments that demand an entrance or membership fee have been omitted, as have those calling themselves brassieres/restaurants/bars that sell no real ale.
The area covered is from the City postal districts EC1 to EC4 and from E1 in the west to E18 in the east. Though three pubs in E4 are uniquely also in Essex, pubs in Essex are covered by the Essex Beer Guide, a new edition for 1991 is available from the address below.
Since the publication of our last guide in 1986 there have been major changes in the number of pubs breweries are allowed to own. As a consequence Grand Met (Watney/Truman) have stopped brewing (there are some that maintain they never started!). Trumans closed their Brick Lane brewery in 1989 and the history of major brewing in the East End came to a close. See article elsewhere on Brewery History. As a result the variety of real ale has diminished. Five years back a visit to a Watney and Truman pub have resulted in the sampling of seven real ales: Combes, Stag, Trumans Best, Bitter and Sampson. Today the same visit would net but three.
Grand Met are not alone for the reducing the number of their real ales. , Friary Meux and Benskins are increasingly rare in the East End and in the main have been replaced by the bland Tetley that like Websters, is shipped down from Yorkshire.
As we went to press Charrington announced the closure of their Springfield Brewery. is brewed there and already is concern that the beer will be phased out. It must change in flavour if it is to be brewed elsewhere and again other beers are being shipped in from elsewhere. and Stones have already appeared in some Bass pubs.
Belhaven, (from Scotland) bought a number of pubs throughout England from Grand Met and Brent Walker but none of their real ale is supplied to them. The pubs that were real with Watney have gone keg since and any real ale sold in them is that of Courage, with who they have a trading agreement. Belhavens motives remain a mystery within CAMRA.
The pubs.
Outside the City area many pubs have closed and there are five in the E14 area (Poplar / Dockands), waiting to be demolished as part of new roads/road widening schemes. In the E1 Stepney, and Aldgate area instead of waiting for the demolishers balls, public houses have changed use. Two have become restaurants, one a cash and carry, another a joinery workshop and a fourth an off licence.

Finance Track
This year's Design for Service Innovation course will include a finance track for the very first time. This new focus on financial services is made possible through a gift from Citigroup. Representatives from Citi and other financial institutions will serve as advisors in selecting finance projects. The same institutions may serve as partners.
Just like in the health track, all finance project teams will work on real problems affecting actual consumers, as well as the financial service companies that seek their business.
Possible Student Projects
Students in the finance track will explore projects in one of six broad areas. Some teams will focus on "blue sky" opportunities that represent revolutionary new financial solutions; others will commit themselves to driving incremental improvements to important processes or services with the potential to become more consumer oriented.
Blue Sky Project Areas
- Insuring poorly covered risks: There are many significant risks facing consumers that are currently not well insured, such as volatility in gas prices and longevity risks for retirees who outlive their retirement funds. Teams will identify a risk they believe should be insured and then design an insurance product and a strategy for marketing it.
- Monetizing illiquid assets: Airbnb has shown how to turn empty rooms in someone's home into a revenue stream; Innocentive helps people turn human capital and technical expertise into a revenue stream. Teams will identify untapped assets held by consumers and explore ways to monetize them by creating a marketplace that brings buyers and sellers together.
- Using the power of social media to improve financial service delivery: Social networks can turn impersonal, arms-length financial transactions into more personal relationships. This personalization may involve specific financial benefits (e.g. reducing the default rate on microfinance loans.) Teams will identify financial transactions in which social networks may play a role in improving the performance of existing products or creating new products.
Incremental Project Areas
Improving how financial services are purchased: Shopping for financial products can be a frustrating experience. Price and performance comparisons are often difficult to make, disclosures are unintuitive and perceived as meaningless, and the application process can be lengthy and intimidating (just ask anyone who has recently shopped for a mortgage!). Teams will work on improving the consumer experience in shopping for such products.
- Improving communications between financial service companies and their customers: Consider the last bank statement or credit card statement you received. Teams will work to identify how these communications can be made more useful, informative, and actionable.
- Improving financial literacy: Consumers increasingly need to make complex financial decisions with long term consequences (e.g., how much to save, where to invest). Financial literacy is critical for making achieving financial security, yet most middle class families remain financially illiterate. Teams will work on the development of services and tools to help consumers make better financial decisions.
The final portfolio of finance track projects will be announced in early November.
How Are Design Challenges Identified?
The projects chosen for the 2011-2012 Design for Service Innovation finance track stem from work performed in the Fall by two GSB current or ex-MBA students, Ilian Georgiev (MBA'11) and Lauren Chaparro (MBA'12). Throughout the quarter, Ilian and Lauren researched the financial services industry and conducted extensive interviews with representatives from the field to identify "pain points." Now, these needs are being categorized, assessed, and filtered in conjunction with the teaching team to identify meaningful projects that can be effectively addressed by this year's students.
In her role as one of one of two Design for Service Innovation Fellows at the Stanford GSB, Lauren will continue supporting the course this year as a mentor and coach to the student teams during Winter quarter. She will also assist teams that decide to pursue their solutions beyond the 10-week quarter. Lauren has an undergraduate degree in molecular biology from Princeton University. Prior to coming to the GSB, she worked at Google, as a management consultant for the Parthenon Group, and as an investor at Health Evolution Partners. Read more on the Our Team section.

There was also an automatic piano using a perfurated card
Whitneyville wrote:Except that the machines couldn't reproduce the "feel" of "Rag-Time". The Creole "feel" of being a 64th of a beat early or late, very few musicians ever learn. It's like playing Bach's "Well Tempered Clavier" without sounding like a music machine. You have to "come up for air".
flavio81 wrote:I seriously recommend you guys to listen to Pat Metheny's "Orchestrion" album. It's one of his latest albums.
"Because I'm a jazz guy, there's going to be this question of interactivity and blah blah blah," he says. "The thing is, with this, I've created a world for myself where I can interact with dozens of different things a dozen different ways."
Most listeners probably won't know that they're hearing automated instruments on Metheny's new album. But when they see it in concert, they'll know.
"I expect it to be a character-building experience when things don't work," he says. "Which is going to happen — I mean, we're talking about hundreds of moving parts here. One night, that one isn't going to work, I know it. And when that happens, solo guitar, baby!"

What Do You Want to Read/Watch MMA-Wise? Or Write What You Want and Get Seen!
Hey Meatheads ...MMA Enthusiasts and Loyal Readers;
I am in the process of creating a new PKC Team of Writers! (Once again, apologies to those who didn't get a response from me timely because of a faulty contact form)
I'd like to be able to deliver on a actual content strategy instead of just doing whatever the hell I felt like, although sticking to that is still tempting. Think how the Cracked.com writing team and articles are structured.
Regardless, I would like to know what you want, and even better, if you want to write about a specific aspect of MMA! IE: "Hi, I'd like to write about MMA Stats!"
If you have shit writing skills, I'm not putting your work up, so maybe video content is the way to go for you. Just being honest- writing isn't necessarily everyone's ideal creative platform.
So CONTACT ME.

The big institutional players could sue. That's about it.
Huh? If you're talking about average citizens - they can't and won't sue. Not only is it impossible to tell what was stolen from them, they are too numerous to count.
The banks will end up paying a fine and continue to do this same scheme but slightly modified, as always.
The big institutional players could sue. That's about it.
I think this most of the time. But not always.
I love France.
Whenever the government threatens anything, everyone uses it to skip work the next day.
Another finance company steals its' customers' money. But this company is small and not run by an ex-Goldman Sachs CEO/governor/senator, so they're in trouble.
He couldn't even kill himself properly. What a miserable waste
Yeah I read about that yesterday. Disgusting
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
I don't get the comparison.
In a town in NJ near the Meadowlands, the bar and restaurant owners were up in arms because the Xanadu project would create new liquor licenses. In the town, the amount of licenses were fixed and were pretty expensive. The new ones would only be for the Xanadu complex, but would ultimately devalue the resale value of those in the town. Should this prevent the community from adding tens of thousands of jobs because the plight of a few thousand in just one neighborhood? It's not looking at the bigger picture.
Xanadu should be nuked from orbit. What a waste.
Come on Olivia Newton-John's not that bad.
It is good to carry some powdered rouge in one's sleeve. It may happen that when one is sobering up or waking from sleep, a samurai's complexion may be poor. At such a time it is good to take out and apply some powdered rouge.

Did you guys know Lillard is from Oakland?
Damian Lillard will step onto the Oracle Arena court, fresh off a win against the defending champs and taking home his second consecutive Western Conference Rookie of the Month. In his first trip to Oakland, Lillard is looking to lead the Blazers to their seventh win in the last eight games.
While the Blazers are feeling great about their effort last night and hoping to give Lillard a proper introduction to his hometown, the smell of a trap game is strong in Portland even from 637 miles north.
Golden State has lost their last two games matching their longest losing streak of the season. They will undoubtedly look to bounce back against Portland tonight. Sources report Mark Jackson writing, "Not on my watch!" on the team's chalkboard.
Portland: Damian Lillard (PG), Wesley Matthews (SG), Nicolas Batum (SF), LaMarcus Aldridge (PF), J.J. Hickson (C)
Golden State: Stephen Curry (PG), Klay Thompson (SG), Harrison Barnes (SF), David Lee (PF), Festus Ezeil (C)
Before winning the last three contests, Portland had dropped four in a row to the Warriors. Tonight they look to bring the record back to .500 over the past eight games.
Golden State is currently sitting in fifth in the Western Conference and is two and a half games up on Portland in the standings.
The Warriors feature two of the top-three three-point shooters in the league: Curry and Klay Thompson. The Blazers allow opponents just 33.8% from the three-point line (good for eighth in the league), but Golden State averages 39.1% from outside (fourth-best).
Last season Charles Jenkins torched Portland for his career-high 27 points. He is out with an injury tonight.
Potential Headlines, courtesy of Maddison:
"Lillard gets hyphy, ghost rides the whip to victory"
"David Lee and Stephen Curry do the thizzle dance all over Portland"
Potential Absolutely Certain Headlines:
"Lillard [blahblahblahs] in his first trip to Oakland"
I used to post this whenever Jackson called a game for Portland, but this is as close as we're getting and it would be a crime not to share it again:

Habemus Pepe
Finally! Elections in Honduras!
And the winner is...Pepe Lobo, the National Party candidate, by a landslide, over the Liberal Party candidate Elvin Santos, the empty suit I called an Elvis impersonator in my dispatches last year when he won the nomination. Pepe Lobo is no empty suit--I won't say what he is full of, but I call him Pepe Lodo, which means 'mud,' or a similar substance. It was to be expected, since Mel Zelaya, the president ousted in a coup last June 28, was a Liberal. Elvin saw it coming, he had to have, as he tried desperately to distance himself from Mel's disgrace, even though he had started out as Mel's vice-president till he quit to run for president himself. Oh, you're gonna love Pepe, he makes Sarah Palin look like Ralph Nader. It's Mel's ultimate revenge--You guys didn't want me to let me be president for life, well, four years of Pepe will seem like an eternity!
You know, they call Honduras a "banana republic." More like a banana peel! And the latest to slip was Mel Zelaya himself. I ended the November CASA with the hopeful news of an agreement to end the crisis. Mel, the ousted president, signed on, Micheletti, the "de facto" president, signed on. The U.S. A. loved it. The whole world was thrilled. The "spirit" of the agreement suggested Mel's return to power, certainly, but left the actual decision up to the national Congress, after consulting with the Supreme Court, the Electoral Tribunal, and the Armed Forces. And all parties agreed to recognize the winner of the November 29 elections. Somebody must have taken Mel aside and pointed out, You know what you've done? You just legitimized all the institutions you defied before: the Supreme Court that ordered your arrest, the Congress that replaced you with Micheletti, the Electoral Tribunal that ruled your Cuarta Urna unconstitutional, and the Army that FedExed you out of the country. While Micheletti dithered about scheduling any vote in Congress for restoration, the U.S. State Department "clarified" its support for the elections--that is, with or without Mel's reinstatement. Mel cried foul and urged a boycott of the elections. "Obama stabbed me in the back! I wouldn't accept reinstatement now, even if ya begged me!" Obama, in his unflappable style, just applied the diplomatic equivalent of Ritalin and looked the other way.
So we hobbled along till this past Sunday, November 29, the nicest day we've had in a month--sunny, pretty clouds dotting a blue sky, comfortable breezes blowing, a lovely day. I went up to the school early to see if any people really were voting. Many people, thoroughly disillusioned, had simply sworn off the whole process this time. But, by golly, folks were voting! Mostly old folks and women at first, and eventually younger voters and even some of the "resistencia." Throughout the country turnout exceeded all expectations--over 60%--and most welcome of all, there was no violence.
Micheletti, who's been in politics longer than Obama's been alive, may have outsmarted him. Lookit, we had the elections and Mel's not coming back, despite the "official" U.S. position that Micheletti is an illegitimate "golpista," a coup plotter. (And don't get me wrong, Micheletti is intolerable, the usurper with the Santa smile.) But even Micheletti, the Liberal lion, wasn't counting on Pepe's victory. See, Mel's whole idea was to wreck the elections, and Micheletti's whole idea was to "save" them. But, save them for Pepe? On the other hand, even the kids around here like Chemo love Pepe! They've seen too many "Die Hard" movies; they think Pepe is Bruce Willis, he's gonna clean out the gangs and the bad guys. Indeed, as a cartoon hero, Pepe is perfect.
Lots of countries are still refusing to recognize the elections, because Mel remains outside. On the other hand, even President Oscar Arias of Costa Rica, the original negotiator solicited by Hillary Clinton for the "dialog" between Mel and Micheletti, finally said, What the heck--if the elections come off clean, why not recognize the winner? You know, it's strange. As Obama has said, democracy is "not just elections." So when will the world community say to a country--Honduras would be a prime example--we won't recognize your government till your children are no longer victims of Ignorance and Want (the urchins 'neath the robe of the Ghost of Christmas Present. Check them out in the new Jim Carrey version.) By that standard, very few nations have any claim to make.
Speaking of Charles Dickens, "Bleak House"--a 900-page novel without a plot--was the perfect accompaniment to our endless odyssey with Chemo's sister Rosa in hopes of heart surgery. In both cases, I kept waiting for something to happen. You can't say Dickens does not warn you; the book opens in a fog that never lifts. I sort of felt the same way. Jarndyce and Jarndyce, the 'case' stalled in Chancery for decades, serves only to enrich the lawyers. In our case, our three-week trek to Tocoa, to Tegucigalpa, and back to Tocoa served mainly to profit every bus, restaurant, hotel, and taxi driver along our route.
Let me repeat some information, because not everyone got my little updates on Rosa.
I had prayed to conform my mind to the will of God, whether for Rosa's life--or death. I was not prepared for "Wait." But you can't say Dr. Christian Gilbert, like Dickens, didn't warn us. He was alarmed, in that doctorly, sober kind of way, at Rosa' s gravity. She's got a mitral valve like the Lincoln Tunnel. He had brought a replacement valve with him from Memphis, but finally he doubted Rosa's strength and his own skill for success. Cautioned no doubt by the very sad deaths of two children during the brigada, little hearts that could not be fixed, he postponed Rosa till January, when the brigada returns.
I finished 'Bleak House,' with room to spare. There is a story, even it there's barely a plot, and it's the story of the poor and what they suffer, even from their supposed 'benefactors.' Dragging Rosa and her husband Tonio all over creation for nothing in particular, I sort of felt maybe it was my story. And some of you made such sacrifices to ease our expenses, I was embarrassed at my empty hands. But, thinking always of your kindnesses, I kept a happy face and never suggested I was headed for debtor's prison! Chemo was our guide, he never tired of the arcade at the mall, even though a couple grenades had been discovered in the restrooms. We visited the hilltop zoo and the big statue of Jesus that overlooks the city. We went to a museum (OK, that was a mistake), and we ate four times a day. Rosa, the skinniest one among us, never got full!
Surely Dr. Gilbert made the right decision, and may not be ready to risk the operation even in January. You know, if you saw the Hospital Escuela, where Rosa's surgery was scheduled, you'd bar the door, too. (Chemo was operated on at the Seguro Hospital, a more modern semi-private facility.) The place looks like a set from 'Children of Men,' or the Titanic, after the sinking. It's a greasy, rusty, sordid mess. Talk about embarrassing! It's the shame of Honduras, where I have yet to hear a politician propose the construction of a new hospital, and most of them--including Mel, Micheletti, or Pepe or Elvin Santos, who OWNS the biggest mall in Tegucigalpa--could finance a dozen hospitals out of their personal fortunes. The real heroes are the doctors and nurses who work in impossible conditions to save some lives. As we were checking Rosa into the hospital, a process which for some strange reason, runs through the emergency room, the young, unperturbable doctor Karen Herrera, filling the forms, had to jump up at least three times, to help revive a man who coded, to tend a gunshot victim escorted by the police who shot him, and a man with some ghastly wound on his foot. I thought, dear God! Rosa's gonna need surgery just to get out of this room! I swear the cop's gun actually brushed my arm as he was holding his prey in place. This'd be great, I thought, if the victim's buddies come in here to rescue him, guns blazing....
Once she was in, it was not that easy to visit Rosa the next day. The woman at the gate was not going to let us in, that is, all three of us--Tonio, Chemo, and me--till she mentioned Tonio's 'sombrero,' and I said, "Like Mel!" And she corked up and pumped her fist in the air, "Suba Mel! Suba Mel!" Up with Mel! Up with Mel! I had another phrase in mind for Mel, also involving the word 'up,' but I took the hint and echoed her enthusiasm. When she said, How about the folks in Tocoa, they're with Mel, right? "They love him!" I lied. Mel, as the massive vote for Pepe just showed, is anything but popular up there. But it got us in.
That's what I mean by the good folks forced to work in a snakepit. She was a sweetie, under the crust. Just like the good woman with rings on each finger and red make-up who let us in with our little band of blood donors. Ron Roll, the founder, with his wife Alba, of Helping Hands that sponsors the heart surgery brigada, had said, in his inimitable malapropism, "Miguel, I don't know if they need 5 or 6 gallons," when I asked how many pints we had to get. We started with Tonio, arriving about 6 a.m. to get in line and we spent all morning waiting in more lines. Tonio told them, "Take two pints!" and I wish they could have. The next day I got there at 5:00 a.m. with 3 more donors, but only one qualified, and it still took all morning. The one who qualified, Karla, from Las Vegas now living in Tegucigalpa, recruited 4 of her neighbors for the next day, and this time I got there at 4:00 and was almost first in line. I held the spot till the others showed up at 5:30, as we arranged, and that's when we needed help. Delmys had just turned 18, the minimum age for donation, and she didn't have her I.D. yet, just the receipt. Somehow I talked the woman at the window outside into accepting that, and then the nurse at the blood bank itself inside. They COULD have cut us off without a chance, but you could just see they really did want to help us. And they found a way. It is the will of God, I think, touching our heart. And in the hospital, a pastor and his wife came and offered to pray over Rosa. And they did touch her heart.
And Chemo was on TV! The most popular newshow, "Abriendo Brecha" (loosely translated, 'Showing the Way') invited Ron Roll and the president of the Rotary Club, also a sponsor of the brigada, and three kids, a 2-year-old and and an 8 year-old and their daddies, and Chemo. I don't think they understood that I was Chemo's daddy, but that was OK because I could snap photos of the big-screen TV in the lobby of the studio. Chemo did not speak, but I loved the way Ron Roll placed his hand on Chemo's shoulder.
Once we got Rosa back home to Tocoa, with quick visits to two doctors and Rufina (Rosa, Chemo, and Marcos' mother), Chemo and I returned to Las Vegas, bringing along Chemo's brother Marcos, just as we did last year. Then word came that my computer was ready for pickup--in Tegucigalpa. I mentioned last month it had been damaged by some window-shopper who tried to pull it out of my house. Miraculously, Apple honored the warranty, still in effect, for repairs that would have cost at least $500.00, replacing the screen and the keyboard. And it works, well, better than new! But it meant another trip to Tegucigalpa. I decided to kill two birds with one stone, and fulfill my promise to Pablito and Chepito if they passed fourth grade to take them to the big city. So, with Chemo and Marcos, we were 5. One cab driver had to say, Listen, if you see any police, one of you duck down--four in the rear seat is illegal! As soon as we got there, I got my MacBook, then to the mall for shoes and pants and shirts for everyone. Pablito had completely walked off the soles of his Keds and Chepito's were mere strips. We checked into the hotel, one room, two big beds--I was not about to let them have a room to themselves! and headed back to the mall, for Pizza Hut and the arcade. The next day we saw "2012" at the movies--which, you'd have to say, in Honduras, the effect of the end of the world would be negligible, but its endless scenes of destruction bored even these kids. Elio and Mema graciously accepted our invitation to lunch the next day, and patiently advised the boys to stay with school, work hard, respect Miguel. We went to the zoo (where my digital camera stopped working and it is NOT under warranty) and the big Jesus. And the arcade, and we ate four times a day. So I guess I spent that $500.00 after all....
But if you want excess, try Facebook. On second thought, don't! Somebody hacked into my account and started launching spam--like I don't gas enough myself!--I was so mad I logged on at the first opportunity and canceled my account, period. I never really "got" Facebook. So somebody made a sandwich, that's wonderful. And I never did find my "wall." But I was happy to find long-lost friends, so if you're still hooked up and someone wonders what happened to Dulick, give them my email address, please, or direct them to my blog, michaeldulick.blogspot.com.
From "Bleak House": "The poor only may and can, or shall and will be reclaimed according to somebody's theory but nobody's practice." But then there's Mrs. Bagnet: "She receives Good to her arms without a hint that it might be Better and catches light from any little spot of darkness near her." And there is even a Rosa in the book, with her "pretty village face," just like Chemo's sister.
Love, Miguel

Do You Like Red?
By Allie
from Santa Clarita
The Epson R1900 is the best printer for small to medium sized businesses that want exceptional "Red" colors printed. FYI this printer drinks a lot of ink. It is well worth it though, if you are a business and want exceptional quality without the thousand dollar price tag of dry ink printers.
I would buy this product again and again
