Glenn Symmonds on the 70's Bay Area, playing drums and touring with Coke Escovedo
© Jim McCarthy August 2009
Glenn Symmonds was originally a native of and went to High School in Spokane Washington, his mother originated from the city of Liverpool (home of The Beatles) and he toured in later years in the UK with a band called The Untouchables, (a second wave ska band) supporting well-known chart toppers, the Birmingham based band UB40.
One early influence was to have a direct and overwhelming influence on Symmonds' life, "Tower of Power used to travel through the border of Washington and Idaho, on the state line. There was a place where you get in to the bars there, so we'd all go to catch the groups coming through. Tower, Elvin Bishop, Cold Blood, lots of the Bay Area bands. I was drawn to the Bay Area from listening to David Garibaldi's playing with Tower of Power. We became friends and he invited me over to listen to him practice in his hotel room and go over the stuff he was studying with his teacher Chuck Brown. I knew then that the minute I graduated, I wanted to take lessons with Chuck Brown. That was my goal!"
He was true to his word, Symmonds graduated and leaving Spokane at seventeen years old….. " I knocked on Chuck Brown's door, I had a U-haul trailer filled with my stuff out on the street and I'm knocking on his door. He opened the door and introduced myself, I said I've driven 1300 miles to take lessons from him and he says, my teaching schedule Is pretty full for the next year (laughs!) I didn't even have place to live, all my stuff is in the van outside and the motor's running. I said to him, I came here to study with you and I shamed Chuck Brown into giving me drum lessons."
Chuck Brown as well as mentoring hundreds of drummers also taught significantly Michael Shrieve as well as Terry Bozzio (who played with Azteca) and of course Garibaldi.
Symmonds plugged into the Bay Area scene fairly quickly, he attended his first audition and remembers, " My first audition was going down to a club in Berkeley and Linda Tillery and The Loading Zone were playing and I was friendly with Bill Meeker. He was drummer with Elvin Bishop. Coincidentally I had met him before at the state line when Elvin had come thru, so I asked him
If I could sit in, as drummers do! They were a very cool soul and R&B type band with great vocals, Vince Denim on saxophone, (who went onto play with Elvis) they had a great groove, they also had Dougie Rauch on bass with them. Bill was a phenomenal drummer, they turned round and said " Do you know What Is Hip". I had worn out the grooves on my vinyl record, learning that song. I wore that vinyl white, I just knew it inside and out. I had to put a coin on top of the needle to get it to stay down while playing the record, I'd played it so much. I used to slow the tracks down to 16 rpm, it was like W-O-O-O-AAAHHHHHH, very low sounding and demonic (laughs). That's how I learned those Tower tunes. They didn't know that I knew that song like the back of my wife's ass!
So I had practiced them also with my friend Dave Garibaldi, studied 'em further with Chuck Brown and David had written out those parts too. First nite in Oakland and they call off What Is Hip and I nailed it. They turned around and grinned at me – just look at that kid play! It was a great entrée into that world. In the audience were some people that offered me a job with Frank Byner and The Night Shift who wrote songs for Tower Of Power. A bass player that came up to me also that night was David Margen. He was also playing with Frank. So I was playing with them now as well."
His expansive personality and expressive drum chops, made his entry into the Bay Area more established, "I also was playing with a guy called Gideon and in his band he had a guy called Melvin Seals. He was the leader of The Jerry Garcia Band. Melvin was groomed in the church and could make the Hammond B3 sing man! They had a high-energy gospel-rock vibe. All those bands played the same kinda' clubs, The Keystone Korner, LaValles, The Long Branch, they were three of the top ones. Also during that intern, I met Eddie Money and played with him. He knocked on my door, saying ' I hear you're a drummer, my drummer didn't show, so I want you to play with me tonight, I did one song and he says, "That's it, I want you in the band. He said, "My name's Eddie Money and I want to be a rock and roll star by 25, I don't have a lotta' time!" Just like that! So I was gigging with everybody."
Gigs for the young Symmonds were plentiful, "I was in a fourth band too, called Grayson Street. They had a phenomenal harmonica player called Ricky Kellog, who ended up in Canned Heat. Grayson Street was mostly original R&B style East Bay grease and very funky – James Brown orientated1"
The East Bay, particularly Oakland was a breeding ground for the funk and Symmonds went on to discuss one of Tower of Power's greatest vocalists, the redoubtable but also controversial Rick Stevens. "Rick had a cover band, they were doing Tower songs and he was the best of all the Tower singers in my opinion. I saw Tower with Lenny Williams mostly at the time I saw them."
His connection with Coke Escovedo was fairly straightforward, " I was on a bill with Coke, There was Grayson Street and Coke was checking me out from the side of the stage. I knew something was up and he came over and asked me to join his band! He already had very talented musicians, he had a guy on drums apart from Harvey Mason on his first album and I came in after that. I knew of him from the Third Santana album, with the dedication to him on there. We started rehearsing and every Monday night in Oakland we would play at a club called King Richards. That was in Jack London Square, we would hold court there and a lot of great jazz and other musicians would show up unexpectedly, you never knew who – it could be Malo's singer, it could be brother Pete or Sheila would sit in and play congas. Abel Zarate was in the band too, another guy there was Ray Obiedo, he was very popular."
The line up didn't have a regular conga player, Coke simply invited his family down. " Frank was on keyboards, (later on it would be Herman Eberitsch ) Erroll Knowles was singing and also another girl was Lynn Mabry, who later became a Bride Of Funkenstein (an off-shoot of Parliament) and later became a back up singer in George Michael's show. Everybody in the East Bay could play- everybody was really good. My parents were very supportive and I got well schooled- I could play mallets, for zylophone, vibraphone, marimba and Coke let me used that talent on the Comin' At Ya' album- he let me play vibes on there on the Jose Feliciano song, "Stay With Me."
"Playing with Coke was my first recorded album and he let me play and recorded three of my songs as well. He took all the credit for the first one- a guaganco groove and he had everybody singing "Coke Escovedo play the guaguanco, Coke Escovedo play the guaguanco" and he put his name on that (laughs). I don't even remember what I was getting paid. He had a three-album contract with Mercury Records- and considering he was sideman and not a singer- it's great he got a record deal!
Coke certainly had hit a home run in the recording stakes for awhile, and apparently was an outgoing individual; Glenn describes Coke thus. " He had a gentle heart, a lovely guy, with a lot of talent, he loved to be the centre of attention. He was great to me, showed me how to play drums with him, he kept his distance too, with the employees, he had a dark side to him that I was to become aware of. His eyes would get really glassy at times. He would get very wasted and spaced out on cocaine, I know sometimes he would get so high, he didn't want to be standing up there with his timbales. So, he would come to the back of the stage and kick me off the drums and get me to play timbales.
He told me to go play 'em, he would play drums- he was a terrible drummer (laughs).
I asked Glenn about the slew of outstanding timbale players in the Bay Area at that time. "Well – Jose "Chepito"Areas absolutely, Chepito was so strong he didn't play with those thin little dowelling timbale sticks, and they'd cut them in half. Chepito played with brutal hardness, using thick drumsticks and was intensely talented. They're as no rivalry at all in Coke. I remember we played Madison Square Garden and Tito Puente came down. Backstage Tito treated Coke like a long lost son, he was very gracious and invited us to his nightclub after we were done. We got there and a table was set, he wined us and dined us, we came into this Latin club, there's a ten- piece band playing and Tito really took care of us. He was very grateful that Coke had brought "Para Los Rumberos" to the Third Santana album sessions and got that song Tito wrote included on the Third album.
Symmonds' path crossed most of the Bay Area percussion luminaries. "Mingo was a hugely talented and strong and powerful conga player- a triple Sagittarius, like I said. He was very intense, very crazy and wild! He was involved in the Chick Corea Electric band when they had Steve Gadd- the very first incarnation of that, before Al Di Meola and Lenny White. Mingo would sit in at King Richards club. He asked me also to play with him, and he also had an album deal with CBS and was putting together a batch of his songs. He had hand picked musicians , we would rehearse seven days a week and I had gigs at night too, playing with all these other bands, so I could not give Mingo the commitment he wanted. I took from him all the lessons he showed me, he showed me the conga, timbale techniques, applied to the drum set, when there isn't a conga player or a timbale player, what do you do?? How do you simulate those sounds and rhythms, he'd also showed Steve Gadd the same type of stuff. Gadd and Mingo were very tight. At that time he was not maybe been even twenty-one year old – nor was I for that matter.
Glenn's time with Coke was curtailed by the encroaching drug related aspects of those day in the music business and later on in the USA as coke and heroin spread thru out US society rapidly. " Coke's band was a great band playing locally, so musicians who didn't play on a Monday night, it was a great place to hang but with the hang came the drugs too. When we were on the road we were opening for Parliament and Funkadelic. We were opening for The Johnson Brothers. There were some characters hanging around – they were in the van with us. In the hotels with us, on the stage with us! I didn't know who they were but I got to know why they were there. To some degree they kept me isolated, I was a nineteen-year-old kid at that time. Erroll Knowles and Coke were much older and I was a younger guy and I was mostly friends with Abel Zarate in the band, A very sweet guitar player. But I started to find out, one night Coke told us to get onstage and I had to go back to the dressing room, I'd forgotten my drumsticks and the bag. I rushed offstage and get to the dressing room and there's Coke, with a needle in his arm. He yelled, "Get the fuck outta' here!"
One character in particular was to hasten Glenn's departure from the group, "Big Ronnie was one of those guys hanging around, he came out from the side of the stage and he poked me in the ribs one night, during the first song, told me to "Shut the fuck up, that I was playing too loud". I turned around and bashed him on the head and on the shoulders with my sticks- told him to get the fuck away from me.
He crawled off the stage with his purple pimp hat (with a big feather in it) his purple pimp jacket and his platform shoes. (laughs) He was total pimp man; it was the seventies. When we walked offstage, you can imagine the audience is roaring out a standing ovation – and everybody is patting themselves down with towels, congratulating each other and Big Ronnie is grabbing me with two hands round my neck and I am down in the curtains. I am down man. He is choking me, "I'm gonna' kill you motherfucker", he's going for broke and the band realise and pulled him off me. I swore that was it, I did one more show and then the tour was over. I never played again with Coke Escovedo. I totally lost touch.
He described the adverse effect cocaine had on his drumming abilities, "I only did cocaine a couple of times but I experienced the same feeling, my back was very tensed up and it also made me very gun-shy. It inhibited my playing a lot. I think maybe the first hit can be great. But if you're in concert and you're revved and do you do a line of coke, you're only going to feel that for five minutes and then you're going to crash while your playing. Then you feel terrible, you are thinking those people are looking at me.
My hands hurt and you start to feel achy and you can't wait to get off stage and get another hit. It was always counterproductive for me – I wasn't addicted but I think Coke was, he wasn't as sharp; he became less focused than he was."
Glenn went on to along and varied drumming career with among others, Automatic Man, John Klemmer, Dave Mason, Elvin Bishop, Etta James and a long association with Eddie Money.
Look out for further revealing stories and tales from the rock and roll merry-go-round;

Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV.
She has seen both these dreams come true.
At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon -- from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.
Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've all suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Detroit Pistons vs Golden State Warriors Saturday December 12 7:30 pm Local TV: FS Detroit Nat'l TV: Radio: 950 WWJ
Rip's back. I looked at him warming up and looked at the TV screen like a baby mama, looks at her baby daddy, when he's 17 years behind in child support, WTH do you want? and why are you here!!!!
Another great Pistons win. Good stuff. I thought despite all of the turnovers, against a team that forces a lot of turns, we played a really solid game. Rip was pretty rusty, but he did hit some shots. Another great game from Charlie, Ben, Stuck and Martin Atkins.
i saw only the second half, to many TO´s but we win :-) i´m happy about rips comeback and hope he will get his shooting routine back. NICE 5th win in a row! GO PISTONS!!!! i hope i´ll see you soon in chat at the new orleans game, because the houston game i can´t watch! ;-)
Pistons win 104-95 for their 5th straight win and at 11-12 this is the closest they have been to .500 since the third game of the season when they were 1-2. The Pistons seem to trail most of the game and finally got over the hump with a stellar defensive effort in the 3rd quarter when they held the Warriors to only 12 points and took a 4 pt lead into the 4th. The pistons held with some clutch baskets and turned back the weary Warriors who had played an OT the night before. The big news was the return of Rip Hamilton who in the first was obviously rusty as he could not affectively run the fast breaks when he stole a couple of balls. He did hit a couple of buckets down the stretch including a 3 ball and finished with 18 pts, 3 steals and 3 TO's. The 36 mins was probably to much for him..luckily he didn't over extend himself and get hurt again as he was getting up off the floor on every other play. The other masked man, CV continued to be deadly off the bench popping in 24 pts (and 9 brds) so it looks like we may have two hi scoring masked scorers. Once again it was Rodney Stuckey who lead the Pistons in scoring with 29 pts and 7 assists. However he also contributed to the negative with 7 of the Pistons 22 turnovers. Those 22 turnovers almost cost the Pistons this game as the Warriors seem at one point in the second qtr to score off everyone. (In actuality they only scored 27 points off the turns, but did build a 13 pt lead in the second on the combo of TO and bad Piston offense. Chucky Atkins re-entered the game three qtrs of the way through the second qtr and the Pistons erased that big lead and were only down 6 at the half. Atkins finished with 6 assists. Not that much from the rookies tonight, but all contributed to the win. Warrior Iron Man Monta Ellis who played all 48 minutes and all 53 minutes in last nights Warrior OT loss, matched Stuckey's game high 29 pts.
This game must have been an interesting one. Glad to see we won in Rip's first game back. I don't think I would have been able to handle the [SIGN]RUN RIP OUTTA TOWN[/SIGN] bandwagon that would have gotten jumped on if we had lost.
Rip was rusty, and I complained a lot about how he was too good to be sideline, and too good to work his way back onto a team in a streak from the bench, but in the end, he made some clutch plays down the stretch. We still have a problem, because our best PG is our 5th guard, and with Prince and Bengo coming back, we're going to really be hurting to find minutes for Chucky, let alone Bynum, without sending JJ and Daye to Siberia. Coach's problem to sort out, but I will be furious if Rip and Tayshaun go back to 35+ a night. Win or lose, I don't want to see old Pistons eating up the minutes this year just to satisfy their egoes and sense of entitlement. The biggest improvement on this team since the start of the season, has been their ability to defend, especially coming off one or two days rest. The defense with Max and CV has really tightened up, and Stuckey is carrying his share of that load as well. Anyone want to talk junk about CV? He might not be a very good defender, but man can he fill it up. I can't remember the last Pistons big man who could score like that, inside, with both hands.
You have to wonder if Rips' ego put him in the starting lineup. For someone who had not played in six weeks, you'd think both he and the coaches would ease him in off the bench, especially with the way Atkins has settled down play this past week. 36 minutes were really testing his "player in the best shape" status... They interviewed Charlie V and he said will play wherever and whenever the coach wants him to, so coming off the bench is fine with him. Imagine if we had him, Rip, Daye and Gordon coming off the bench every game??? There would never be any lulls in scoring and we possibly out point every teams second unit....
Micro, exactly on CV. The guy can flat out score. A team needs scorers in the NBA. Defense is important but a team need scorers and CV is just that. You can't win games 75-70 in the NBA these days.
Rip is a warrior. Whether he stays or goes by next year, he is much appreciated. I thought we missed Gordon against this team. They sagged often and he would have 3 bombed them into submission. The point guard play was spotty. Did like what Stuckey did at the end though. Maxiel is actually showing some consistency. In the past, he would have a great game and then disappear. He has been steady lately.
I'm going to suggest that we just saw the most dominating post-up game from a Piston big man in the last 20 years. CV scored 9 times in the post and/or paint and got fouled another 3 times. That's esssentially a dozen buckets in the half court set on the block. He has such incredible touch on those half hooks and turnarounds. On top of that, he tugged down 9 boards and he did it all coming off the bench. As far as Rip, he was rusty, but man does he fill a role that this team needs... that every team needs. He scores from that mysterious zone where no other players even bother taking shots. They look easy when he does it and it's hard to be impressed by each one, but they add up. He was +17 tonight to lead the team and is +40 in his only 2 games this year. And if you don't count the Stuckey FT's when GS was intentionally fouling, Rip was our leader from the stripe. Stuck is hitting his jump shot, making smart decisions, and becoming unstoppable. Not as many charges recently or forced drives. Ben is being used 100% correctly. The coach is smart enough to realize that Ben CAN pass and really enjoys it too. The play where he is getting the ball at the top of the circle and looks for cutting guards has been working all season. Kuester is just doing a great job all around. It's like he doesn't even exist when I watch the games. Everything makes sense. Everyone is playing hard. The team chemistry seems amazing. And this is under the most challenging circumstances with injuries galore, losing streaks, rooks and vets meshing, and 3.5 capable shooting guards all occupying the same position. This has been a pleasure to watch. My wish in previous years was that we would sacrifice a bit during the season to get the whole team involved and create a team atmosphere like the one we have here.
I account alot of that to him getting to play his natural position. When Stuck is playing the 2 he handles the ball and attacks from the wing at a totally different angle, and he's usually catching the ball with his defender trailing the play therefore when gets the ball the defense is often moving; at the 1, he's coming from the top more often and it's Charge City and too many forced drives against a set defense. I know I'm becoming irritating with this rant but it's so OBVIOUS that it ain't even funny. Excellent Post, captures many of my sentiments. This team is very deep, very talented and very vesatile, I think with a healthy - fully acclimated team we make some serious noise.
I love this team. I'm proud of this team. I love a team who faces all kinds of adversity (injuries) and keeps grinding it out for a win. I'm still in favor of either letting one of our guards go for a good center or keep an eye out for one in free agency. No hurry. It's not like we are going to be NBA champs this year. I think if we can pick one up in free agency without giving up our guys, that would be sweet. Not sure what that would do to our salary cap though. No doubt we would probably have to make room somehow.
We will have the Mid-Level Exception(MLE) to offer at the end of the season, somewhere around $5.5 million per. Could pick up a nice player, not sure who though. Any ideas? Way to be off topic
- resign BBen at better pay first. let's wait til this team hangs around .500 for a couple weeks before we gush all over the place.

Predict the Score: Chicago vs. Carolina
The Bears are on a roll and now face the 1-5 Panthers! Can you guess the score? Closest prediction to the outcome wins a Patch T-shirt!
The Bears are rolling, having won their last four games, while the Panthers are headed in the opposite direction, dropping their last four. Can Chicago make it to 6-1 this week?
Patch is getting in on the action.
Predict the score prior to Sunday's Bears game. The reader who correctly guesses the score, or comes closest to guessing the score, will get a Patch T-shirt. At the end of the season, we'll have a random drawing among the weekly winners for a larger prize.
Congratulations to cymru1111, who predicted the Bears would beat the Lions 17-10 last week (the actual score was 13-7).
• If you're a Patch reader, simply comment on the bottom of this article with your name and what you think the final score of the next Bears game will be. (Example: Benny Bears Fan, Bears 102, Panthers 0.)
• All entries need to be received by the start of the game. Because the Bears' game is at noon Sunday (CST), we'll need all entries by then.
• To determine the winner, we will take the difference between actual points scored and predicted score for each team, and add them up for everyone who posted in the comments section. The person whose combined total is closest to zero wins. And it doesn't matter if the points you give are higher or lower than actual points scored, we're just looking for the person who has the lowest differential.
• If two or more people tie for being the closest to the actual total of points scored, a random drawing will be held to determine the winner.
• Only one entry allowed per person. All participants must be 18 years or older. You can read our official giveaway guidelines here.
So, please, comment away. And tell your friends!
Cari Barcas
12:29 pm on Monday, October 29, 2012
Mark Mangioni is this week's winner with a 14-point differential to the actual winning Bears score of 23-22. Mark, I'll email you momentarily to coordinate delivery of your prize!

Mine At Last ~ The Coles Family Series
Book five of the Coles Family Series ~ Diagnosis: Temptation
After years away from home, Shauna Banks has finally returned to Key West. But as a consultant hired to evaluate the local medical center, she immediately comes up against none other than the sensuous Dr. Dominik Coles. All through high school the compelling and intense heartthrob claimed her thoughts and her emotions. Now fate has brought them back together, and what's worse—he doesn't seem to remember her!
The passionate surgeon has one goal: to save his hospital. And Dominik will do whatever it takes to keep it from going under—even if it means tangling with the stubborn beauty whose recommendation could close it forever. But the closer he gets to Shauna, the more his physical longing for her threatens his best intentions. As they both play with fire, could the flames destroy their chance at love?
"MINE AT LAST (4.5) by Celeste O. Norfleet: Sexy. Fearless. The characters in Norfleet's latest are aggressive in their pursuit of each other, and it's refreshing to see such confidence displayed in both the female and male leads. Shauna Banks has returned home to Key West after 15 years. She is assigned to work at a local hospital where her point of contact, Dr. Dominik Coles, is her old high school crush. Shauna struggles to keep her hormones at bay and retain her professionalism, but Dominik doesn't make it easy on her — he's just as smitten as Shauna. Norfleet successfully crafts an engaging and endearing tale that will leave readers wanting more."

Mass walk-out at Sellafield
Last updated at 13:08, Thursday, 24 May 2012
ELEVEN hundred construction workers have walked off Sellafield today (Thursday) in protest at job loss selections.
The workers, members of the Unite and GMB unions, left the site at midday when tensions "erupted'' after an announcement that Mitie is to make a shop steward and two health and safety stewards redundant.
The Mitie Group recently won a £200 million facilities management contract on the nuclear site to provide cleaning, maintenance and security services.
A Unite union spokesman said the walk-off was to protest against the selection of its members which they claim is an "anti-union'' move by Mitie. The unions are also protesting at the "attitude of companies on site'' towards safety.
The workers are expected back on site on Monday to further discuss the job losses.

Bound for Glory: America in Color is the first major exhibition of the little known color images taken by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information (FSA/OWI). Comprised of seventy digital prints made from color transparencies taken between 1939 and 1943, this exhibition reveals a surprisingly vibrant world that has typically been viewed only through black-and-white images. These vivid scenes and portraits capture the effects of the Depression on America's rural and small town populations, the nation's subsequent economic recovery and industrial growth, and the country's great mobilization for World War II.
The photographs in Bound for Glory, many by famed photographers such as John Vachon, Jack Delano, Russell Lee, and Marion Post Wolcott, document not only the subjects in the pictures, but also the dawn of a new era -- the Kodachrome era. These colorful images mark a historic divide in visual presentation between the monochrome world of the pre-modern age and the brilliant hues of the present. They change the way we look -- and think about -- our past.

If you haven't heard, the Tupelo Furniture Market is celebrating its 25th anniversary this week during its fall market.
Lots of people and celebratory events are going on. And if you haven't gotten a copy of today's Daily Journal, there's a special 12-page section on the market. There are stories about this fall market, as well as history of the market. And a few blasts from the past.
You can also see the special section at this link (click here).
There's also a preview story about the market in today's edition. Here's an excerpt:
Celebrating its 25th year, TFM officially begins Thursday and ends Sunday. Market officials say the buzz surrounding the silver anniversary has led to strong buyer registration and exhibitor interest.
The market said earlier this month it expects its best attendance in nearly 10 years.
More than 100 new exhibitors will show at the market, and seven companies expanded their showrooms.
"We're excited about this market and the interest that's been shown," said TFM Chairman V.M. Cleveland.
Unfortunately, we have a business obit to post: Cici's Pizza in Tupelo has closed.
This message was posted on the door:
Dear CiCi's Guests:
Thank you for your support over the last 13 years. It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve you all. For the last four years we have struggled and fought to keep the business open and to make a go of it. Unfortunately, we have lost that fight. CiCi's Tupelo is now Closed.
I am thankful that I had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful people. I hope in some way that I have left them, as well as you, some fond memories here.
Thank you again.
– Ron Solomon
According to Automotive News, the redesigned Toyota Corolla will begin production at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi in Blue Springs starting in fall 2013.
Says the magazine:
"Expect livelier design above the rocker panels and a more stylish interior layout. But the chassis – and the car's numb suspension – will remain mostly the same. A new transmission family is in the works, with gearing designed to stretch fuel economy. But the existing engine will carry over, with the possibility of more advanced engines coming with the midcycle change planned for the 2016 model year. Weight-saving is a priority."
Later in the article, which talks about Toyota's product plans for the next few years, is this interesting tidbit about the Prius. You'll remember when Toyota first announced in 2007 it was building the Blue Springs plant that it would build the Highlander. Then in 2008 it switched to the Prius, then in 2010 said it would be the Corolla.
Speculation has always been that TMMMS would eventually build a second model of some kind, likely the Prius, according to many in the auto industry.
So, says Automotive News, Toyota has a full redesign for the Prius in 2014 for the 2015 model year:
"Because it shares much of its chassis layout with the Corolla, the next-generation Prius could be assembled at Toyota's new plant in Mississippi, where Corollas are built."
So of course we called our friends at Toyota Mississippi to see what they might have to say.
TMMMS spokeswoman Emily Holland said the plant is currently building the 2013 model year Corolla.
"Unfortunately, we do not coment on future model production or sales," she said.
As for possible future Prius production, she said, "we would be delighted to have Prius production in Blue Springs, but there are currently no plans to build that vehicle in our facility."
Well, it works if you're a woman, according to a study in this report (click here) in the British Mail newspaper.
Here's an excerpt:
Waitresses who wear red get up to 26 per cent extra in tips than they would wearing other colours, researchers claimed today.
However, the team that the sexes tip very differently - with the bigger tips coming only from male customers.
No matter what colour they wear, female diners will give the same kind of amounts for service every time. Yet men, whether they realise it or not, add anything between 15 and 26 per cent more to a waitress in red than they would if it was the SAME waitress wearing a different colour.
The test was simple. Take 11 waitresses in five restaurants over a six week period and ask them to wear the same kind of tee-shirt every day but alternate the colours.
We should test that theory out, shouldn't we?
Furniture Brands International said its second-quarter sales were $265.5 million, down 10.4 percent from the $296.2 million recorded during the second quarter last year.
Also, the parent of Lane Furniture said its loss for the period was $6.8 million, or 12 cents a share, compared to $6.6 million, or 12 cents a share a year ago.
Highlights from a Furniture Brands news release:
Ralph Scozzafava, chairman and CEO of the company said, "We continue to make proress with our ongoing cost and efficiency oefforts. Our ability to deliver second-quarter operating results that were flat to the prior year period despite the decreased sales volume is a result of these efforts. As we continue to improve our efficiency, we are also focused on driving sales through new product offerings that are updated, relevant and offer value to the customer. We are seeking broader acceptance of this newer product, which has contributed to our increased order backlog at the end of the quarter. We also remain disciplind on the capital allocation front as we work toward our goal of improving our operating results and generating positive free cash flow in 2012."
Gross profit for the quarter was $64 million and gross margin was 24.1 percent, compared to $73.4 million in gross profit and 24.8 percent gross margin in the prior-year period. The decrease in second-quarter 2012 gross margin was primarily due to additional clearance of older inventory and product that is being replaced, decreased retail margin and lower plant utilization, partially offset by lower costs resulting from prior cost reduction activities.
The company had an operating loss of $5.8 million as compared to an operating loss of $5.8 million in the prior-year period.
The company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $19.1 million and a debt balance of $77 million.
Furniture Brands was kind enough to send its earnings release at 7:25 this morning, also announcing that a conference call discussing the results would follow at 7:30.
Got a small business and want to get help exporting your food or agriculture product?
There's some money avaiable from a nonprofit group, but funds are limited.
Here's a press release from the Southern United States Trade Association, or SUSTA:
Applications are being accepted through the Southern United States Trade Association for funding assistance to help companies promote their food and agriculture products internationally.
SUSTA began accepting applications today for the upcoming year.
SUSTA, through the federal Market Access Program, reimburses companies up to 50 percent of their export promotional costs – such as product advertising in foreign markets, exhibiting at international trade shows and adapting their product labels for foreign laws – to help them become competitive in global markets.
Last year, companies enrolled in SUSTA's programs exported more than $41 million in American food and agriculture thanks to the funding and assistance.
The Market Access Program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), and SUSTA directs MAP funds to small- and medium-sized companies based in the southern U.S.
To be eligible for the MAP Branded program, companies must be considered small according to U.S. Small Business Administration standards, have yearly sales of at least $100,000 and promote a brand-name product that is of at least 50 percent U.S. agricultural origin. Companies located in any of SUSTA's member states can apply for funding. Those states are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
Companies applying for MAP Branded funds can get started by completing a prequalification form on SUSTA's web site, www.susta.org. Additional information is available from these states' Department of Agriculture or from SUSTA at (504) 568-5986.

Says it right there on the sign on the dustwall: Sephora is opening Oct. 5, inside JC Penney at The Mall at Barnes Crossing.
We haven't been able to get a lot of details yet, but we got this response from the public relations firm for JCP. You can tell by the exclamation points:
"Thank you for your interest in Sephora inside jcpenney! We are very excited to expand our presence in the Tupelo area this October! We will be sure to be in touch closer to the opening date and add you to our distribution list so that you have all pertinent information. We'd love to have you come into the new store when it's almost opening time!"
So those of you who don't know much about Sephora (like me), here's info from its website:
Sephora is a visionary beauty-retail concept founded in France by Dominique Mandonnaud in 1970. Sephora's unique, open-sell environment features an ever-increasing amount of classic and emerging brands across a broad range of product categories including skincare, color, fragrance, body, smilecare and haircare, in addition to Sephora's own private label.
Today, Sephora is not only the leading chain of perfume and cosmetics stores in France, but also a powerful beauty presence in countries around the world.
To build the most knowledgeable and professional team of product consultants in the beauty industry, Sephora developed "Science of Sephora." This program ensures that our team is skilled to identify skin types, have knowledge of skin physiology, the history of makeup, application techniques, the science of creating fragrances, and most importantly, how to interact with Sephora's diverse clientele.
Owned by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH), the world's leading luxury goods group, Sephora is highly regarded as a beauty trailblazer, thanks to its unparalleled assortment of prestige products, unbiased service from experts, interactive shopping environment, and innovation.
Sephora inside jcpenney - jcpenney began opening Sephora inside jcpenney stores in October 2006. That original launch has turned into a phenomenon. Today, there are Sephora locations in jcpenney stores nationwide. These stores are smaller than a normal store with approximately 1,500 square feet but they are located in the center of the store and feature the signature Sephora look and beauty offering.
Nice job by Micheline Maynard of Forbes in getting access to the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi plant in Blue Springs, and a nice story on the Japanese automaker's "radical" new design for its assembly plant.
Here's a link to the Forbes story (cllck here).
And here's an excerpt:
Even by Toyota's innovative manufacturing standards, its newest factory looks nothing like any car plant that's come before it. You can see straight up to the ceiling and across every row on the line. Workers pluck parts from prestocked boxes already arranged in the order they need them. The clanking of machinery overhead, the piles of parts next to the assembly line, cars stretched end to end – that's all gone, replaced by a hushed bustle familiar to anyone who works in a busy office.
But even more stunning than the quiet is the location. This isn't Japan. The $800 million plant–the most advanced of all 65 the company owns or operates worldwide – sits atop the red, clay-rich soil of Blue Springs, Miss., 20 minutes from Elvis' birthplace.
Blue Springs represents more than just cranking out Corollas – it's a statement for a company that always put Japan first and everyone else second and a potential blueprint, given Toyota's clout, for how cars will be built going forward.
The House late Tuesday voted down and amendment by a tea party-backed Republican from California, Tom McClintock, to slash the Essential Air Service program.
EAS provides subsidized air service to mostly rural communities across the country. Among them are Tupelo, Greenville and Hattiesburg/Laurel in Mississippi.
It was a bipartisan vote to defeat the amendment, 238-164, with many tea party conservatives voting to kill it.
Alan Nunnelee was the only Mississippi congressman to vote for the amendment. Fellow Republicans Gregg Harper and Steven Palazzo, along with Democrat Benny Thompson, voted against the measure.
More from the Associated Press:
.... the Essential Air Service program, which subsidizes flights to 120 communities in 35 states in the continental U.S. and Puerto Rico and 43 towns in Alaska.
The vote came as the House debated a $107 billion transportation spending bill for the budget year beginning Oct. 1.
Republicans controlling the House had voted to eliminate the oft-criticized program last year while they considered renewing federal aviation programs, but a coalition of Democrats and Republicans representing rural America reversed the move in the Senate.
Despite modest changes to the program enacted earlier this year, its budget now would reach a new high — to $214 million — under Tuesday's legislation. McClintock's amendment would have eliminated $114 million in direct taxpayer subsidies; he was blocked under House rules from attacking $100 million in subsidies automatically financed by "overflight" fees paid by aircraft that fly over the U.S. but don't take off or land here.
Supporters of the subsidies say having access to air service is crucial to the economies of rural towns.
"This program plays a key role in the economic development in many rural communities by ensuring that air service continues," said Rep. Tom Latham, R-Iowa.
In fact, the wide reach of the program contributes to the sweeping support it gets, both from Democrats but also from conservative Republicans who suspend their anti-big government rhetoric when their districts are affected.

The Great Outdoors: The best place to connect
BY Luke Clayton, Special to Star Local News
Regardless of the occupation we choose, many of us tend to get wrapped up in work.
As an outdoors writer with a quarter-century of hunts, fishing trips and many, many written words chronicling these events, I sometime get caught up in writing deadlines, shooting images to accompany articles and planning my next outing. Add a weekly hour-long radio show to the mix and it's pretty easy to see how an outdoor occupation can become work.
Very enjoyable work yes, but work just the same.
I began fishing with and writing about Holmes (texasfishingguide.net or: 214-728-3310) when he started his fishing career in the mid- to late-1990s.
Another great friend and frequent companion on bow hunting outings, Mark Balette, brought his girls along. Three of my five grandsons were rigged and ready for the upcoming fishing trip. We all enjoyed a great dinner of fried fish, hush puppies and squash at Balette's campsite on Oak Cove Marina.
During the meal, we made plans for the morning fishing trip.
Having fished Richland Chambers several times, Balette knows the general pattern of white bass on the lake pretty well, but nothing beats the advantage of current advice from a top guide like Holmes.
"I know an area that is sheltered from the wind and holding tons of white bass," he said. "We've been getting into lots of top-water schooling action during the first couple hours of daylight and sometimes throughout the day when there is cloud cover."
Holmes added that the fish were schooling around standing timber and it was common for them to work the outside edge of the tree lines. On days with less wind, the series of isolated humps down by the dam have been paying big dividends.
After a good night's sleep, we were greeted by a jovial Holmes at the dock.
My grandsons can handle bait caster reels pretty well, especially when vertical jigging, but I was happy to see the big Zebco 808s in Holmes' rod rack.
"I think the boys will do more catching and less time fiddling with their reels with these fool proof spin- casters," Holmes said.
Holmes favors silver or white slabs during the summer months and the rods were already rigged with one-ounce elongated lead baits.
"In the fall and winter, I usually switch to chartreuse-colored baits," he said. "The fish seem to prefer a flatter slab when the water cools down. Right now though, these long slabs have been the ticket to some red-hot action."
As we headed out from the dock and slowly motored into an area of scattered standing trees, Holmes used his binoculars to study the waters ahead.
"See that big Heron sitting on that stump," he said. "There are several cattle egrets around him. It's a good bet these birds have their eye on breakfast. Let's use the trolling motor and quietly ease into the area."
I looked back to see Balette and his crew were also slowly moving into the hotspot. Stealth is the name of the game when approaching top-water feeding fish. Even greedily feeding white bass will sound when approached too quickly with a boat that has a big outboard running at high speed.
Within a couple minutes the heron left their perch on the log, flew 50 yards into a little opening in the trees, hovered an instant over the water's surface and gently scooped up a small shad, one that was obviously injured by a pack of hungry white bass below.
From nowhere, about 10 egrets joined the heron and the water began to froth as the whites pushed shad to the surface.
"Make long casts boys and hold your rod tip high," Holmes said. "Shake the rod when the slab hits the surface. This will make the lure dart around near the surface, mimicking a wounded shad."
Holmes had no more than uttered his instructions when a couple of the boy's rods bent heavily toward the surface.
"Fish on," he said. "No, two fish on."
About that time the younger grandson's rod tip began to dance. Three white bass on at once and up in front of the boat, Holmes was also hooked fast to a hard-fighting white bass. Balette and the girls were on their own school of fish.
I've had many people ask me my favorite freshwater fish to catch.
It's a tough question.
I love to catch everything from bream to catfish, but the open-water schooling species such as white bass, hybrid stripers and stripers are at the top of my list. They are relatively easy to catch, once you find them, and all make excellent table fare.
Just as predicted, this top-water feeding frenzy held up a couple hours and then the fish went deeper around isolated bits of bottom structure.
"Now boys, this is when fishing gets really easy," Holmes said as he marked a big school of whites on his sonar. "Just drop your bait vertically down to bottom and pop them up a couple feet. Make sure and keep the slack out of your line when the bait is falling."
We rounded out our morning fishing from a single huge school that was staged out from the timber on a slight change in bottom elevation.
Balette and his daughters headed out to open water to do a little knee boarding before heading back to camp. As Holmes and I cleaned the morning catch, I took time out to do a little photography.
"Luke do you remember that picture you took of the boys years ago right here," Holmes said.
I did remember.
That was at least five years ago, maybe six. The boys had their shirts off and they were just little tykes. Now the boys were much bigger. Gramps ordered them to remove their shirts, just as they'd done years ago and I put them through a grueling photo shoot.
This trip was a special one for me for several reasons.
I'd had the opportunity to spend some quality time with a couple of my dear friends and unhook countless white bass for three of my grandsons that had the time of their lives. I left this trip with a new outlook on my career as an outdoors writer and radio show host.
Yes, in a sense I am at work when hunting and fishing, but it's the great times with the wonderful people I am blessed to know that really makes it seem like play.
