Mary and David Wellington built their reputation on jams, jellies, and preserves homemade with fruit from their Goleta orchards. Participants in the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market since 1983, the Wellingtons even taught the current board president, Molly Gean of Harry's Berries in Oxnard, their jam-making process. Now, Cat Moss, the Wellingtons' daughter — who has run Wellington Farm since 2005 — alleges in an amended lawsuit filed with the Santa Barbara Superior Court last week that Gean is treating her as competition and deliberately limiting her access to markets, thereby violating antitrust law.
The original complaint was filed last month by Jeff Hendrickson and Roxanne Renner, a married couple who own Santa Rita Flower Farm near Lompoc, but new plaintiffs — Moss and John and Nadine de Bruin, owners of Dey Dey's Best Beef Ever — have joined the suit, which is being pursued by Christman, Kelley & Clarke.
In violation of California's Cartwright Act, the lawsuit alleges, "Local, certified organic producers are excluded in favor of corporate, out-of-town operations that falsely claim their product is 'organic.'" Furthermore, the plaintiffs argue, members of the Farmers Market board — seven of the nine members do not live in Santa Barbara County — protect each other and their cronies, thereby fixing prices.

Innovation Slideshow: 12 Lessons on Leadership: Real Stories of Risk and Change
By Dennis McCafferty | Posted 05-10-2011
If you could gather together in the same room 12 legendary leaders -- including the mayor of New York City, the world's richest man, the superintendent of one of our nation's most esteemed military institutions and several accomplished CEOs -- what would you do? If you're like most of us, you'd want to pick their brains, right? Fortunately, the new book, No Fear of Failure: Real Stories of How Leaders Deal with Risk and Change (Jossey-Bass/available now) figuratively puts these very people in the same room for you. Authored by Gary Burnison, CEO of talent-management solutions firm Korn/Ferry, the book features one-on-one interviews with a dozen leaders to extract compelling nuggets of wisdom about failure, success and the many steps in between. As the book title implies, what may impress readers the most is not the tales of great accomplishments, but rather the perspectives on falling short of goals. "One of the amazing similarities these leaders share is a deep inner serenity that comes from accepting the inevitability of failure," Burnison says. "Success instilled confidence in each of them, but their failures imparted wisdom. Unfortunately, humans cannot see the future; tragedies occur and failure happens. However, it's not what you do at the moment of failure, it's what you do after that counts." Here are selected quotes from each interviewee, conveying 12 distinct takes on leadership:

Cray ekes out profit in diminished Q4
Banking on Nvidia 'Kepler' GPUs in 2012
Supercomputer maker Cray took a bit of a hit in 2011 thanks to AMD's delay in shipping its "Interlagos" Opteron 6200 processors, which had a cascading effect on shipments and acceptances of Cray's XE6 and XK6 machines in the fourth quarter.
But despite the delays, which made sales smaller than Cray had hoped this time last year, the company managed to squeak out a small profit in the quarter.
In the quarter ended in December, Cray's product revenues were $75.2m, down 61.9 per cent thanks in part to the slippage of the first phase of the "Titan" hybrid CPU-GPU system upgrade at Oak Ridge National Laboratory from Q4 into Q1. That slippage alone accounted for $60m in revenue that was slated for the December quarter. Cray's services revenues in the fourth quarter fell by 26.2 per cent, to $16.3m. Overall sales were $91.6m, off 58.3 per cent.
Because Cray didn't make as many big machines, its underlying parts costs were lower in the quarter, and its research, development, sales, and marketing costs also fell. And thus, the company had $17.2m in income from operations in Q4.
And when Cray tacked on a tax benefit of $14.5m from loss carry-forwards from prior years, the company actually had a net income of $31m in Q4, down more or less in synch with revenues from the final quarter of 2010 and a bit higher than expected because gross margins were about five points higher than the average for 2010 and 2011, thanks to a better mix of product and services sales in the final three months of last year.
That income tax benefit was not taken for Q4, but rather got Cray to show better numbers than it would have otherwise for the full year. For all of 2011, Cray had $155.6m in product sales (down 34.9 per cent) and $80.5m in services revenues (up a fraction of a point). Total sales were $236m (down 26.1 per cent) and the company was essentially at breakeven for the year until it booked that tax bennie.
Brian Henry, Cray's CFO, said in a conference call with Wall Street analysts that the company had another $110m in loss carry-forwards in the bank for net income rainy days.
Peter Ungaro, Cray's president and CEO, said in the call that the first phase of the Titan upgrade of the "Jaguar" system at Oak Ridge had been accepted for delivery, so that $60m is in the bag for the first quarter of 2012.
Ungaro added that the company is anticipating that Nvidia will launch the GPU coprocessor versions of its impending "Kepler" graphics processors sometime in the second half of 2012, when the second phase of the Titan machine will be put into place. The "Blue Waters" contract that Cray landed last fall for $188m at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois also uses a mix of Opteron-based XE6 server nodes and hybrid Opteron-Kepler XK6 nodes.
"We're confident in our plans to deliver these two systems in 2012," Ungaro said, adding that he could not provide a specific month, but that Cray believed it would be sufficiently early enough for the company to get the Titan and Blue Waters (a 10 petaflopper with expansion capability) both installed and accepted – and therefore eligible for revenue recognition – this year.
Cray, said Ungaro, is also banking on generating around $40m in revenues from three focus areas it has established in the past several months: midrange HPC systems, parallel storage, and big data.
As El Reg previously reported, Cray has just created a big-data unit called YarcData, and Ungaro says that the first products will come out from this unit in the coming months.
Cray has also rejiggered its XE6 product line to get an entry XE6m product down to $200,000 for a 6.5 teraflops of number-crunching oomph. And at the SC11 supercomputing conference last fall, Cray launched its riff on Lustre clustered disk arrays, called the Sonexion 1300, which is in evaluation now at selected customers (including NCSA for the Blue Waters project) and which will ship in volume in the second quarter when the disk drives that Cray needs for the machine are back in the market in numbers that Cray needs.
By the way, Cray has no intention of stopping sales of disk systems from Data Direct Networks or NetApp, which have been partners with Cray for some time. But Ungaro said that Cray believed that there was an opportunity for Cray to sell homegrown arrays with a balance between bandwidth and capacity. The DDN units are really aimed at high bandwidth, and the NetApp arrays are aimed at higher capacity.
The other thing that Cray is focused on this year – aside from closing as many XE6 and XK6 deals as it can – is finishing development of the "Cascade" supers, which are based on Intel Xeon processors in their initial implementation and which sport the faster "Aries" interconnect that links nodes and their coprocessors through the PCI-Express 3.0 bus. (The current "Gemini" XE interconnect uses HyperTransport links to connect CPUs in the cluster, which in turn can reach out over PCI-Express 2.0 links to GPUs, if the system has them.)
Ungaro said that the plan is to get an early prototype of the Cascade system to the US Defense Advanced Research Project Agency by the end of the year. DARPA has been paying for the development of the Cascade system as part of its High Productivity Computing Systems program, and Cray has been paid in installments for the R&D behind the project, which it offsets against costs as the money comes in from Uncle Sam. The plan is to have the Cascade prototype shipped to DARPA at the end of the year, and then to have it commercially available in the first half of 2013.
Henry said that Cray expects sales to be between $400m and $420m in 2012, with the usual caveat that a "wide range of outcomes was possible," as Henry warned in both 2010 and 2011. That's a heck of a jump in sales, thanks in large part to Titan and Blue Waters.
And, Henry added, Cray will be "solidly profitable" this year, as well. ®

China's Main Newspaper Complains That The iPad Is Too Damn Legal
from the they-have-a-point dept
So, given all of that, it seems a bit strange that The People's Daily newspaper, which is the official newspaper of the ruling Communist Party, recently put up a review of Apple's iPad that complained about the fact that it couldn't be used for unauthorized material:
"There are many disadvantages" to the gadgets, it wrote. "For example you cannot install pirate software on them, you cannot download [free] music, and you need to pay for movies you watch on them."Now, while some might find this a bit surprising, it should be remembered that, in China, it's possible to also get unauthorized devices that build off of other company's gadgets to create something more powerful, and actually open for such uses. So while such a complaint may seem strange at first, when you realize that all they're really saying is that "we know how much more powerful this device should be, and it's a shame that it's locked down, because that takes away much of its value."

We Americans work hard. Weekends are more like workends. We sleep with our smartphones. And we think vacations are for wimps. So we don't take them. Or take work along with us if we do.
But what if taking vacation not only made you healthier and happier, as a number of studies have shown, but everyone around you? And what if everybody took vacation at the same time? Would life be better, not just for you, but for the entire society?
Yes, argues Terry Hartig, an environmental psychologist at Uppsala University in Sweden. Yes, indeed.
When people go on a relaxing vacation, they tend to return happier and more relaxed. (The operative word here being relaxing, not frenzied...

NEW YORK, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Cisco Systems on Thursday accused Huawei Technologies Co Ltd of misstating facts concerning their 2003 copyright infringement case and released segments from what it said was a previously sealed document.
Huawei, the world's second-largest maker of routers, has repeatedly said Cisco's claims were unjustified as the Chinese company had received the disputed source code form a third party.
The company, along with ZTE Corp, , is the focus of a U.S. House Intelligence Committee report that said Beijing could use equipment made by the two companies to engage in espionage and endanger vital systems.
The panel said U.S. companies should stop doing business with Huawei and ZTE, and the committee chairman urged that Canadian companies do the same. Australia, for its part, has banned Huawei from helping build its national broadband network.
Cisco said it was now releasing parts of an expert's report in a blog by Mark Chandler, general counsel at Cisco, "so the world could learn what really happened."
In the segments released it said that "the exactness of the comments and spacing not only indicate that Huawei has access to the Cisco code but that the Cisco code was electronically copied and inserted into (Huawei's code)."
The case between the two companies was eventually dropped.
Cisco Chief Executive John Chambers has said that Huawei does not always play by the rules.
Earlier this year, Cisco Executive Vice President Rob Lloyd said, "We clearly know that our customers view innovation from Cisco and they don't see the same from Huawei. We would clearly say that imitation isn't innovation."
Lloyd also said on the company's earnings call in May, "The privacy of information, how data is protected is forefront in our customers' mind in a cloud-centric world. That's not the forte of Huawei."
In the blog post on Thursday Cisco took pains to make it clear that it did not have a dispute with the Chinese government but rather that it was at odds with a business rival.
"We respect the efforts the Chinese government is making to increase intellectual property protection," the post said.
"Rather, this dispute involved a very simple claim that one company used the other's trade secrets and copyrighted materials without permission."
Cisco has been doing business in China since 1994.

Luuuuuke, I am your robber!
Times sure must be tough on the Death Star these days, as Darth Vader stooped to holding up a Long Island bank on Thursday, police officials said.
A robber dressed up as the "Star Wars" villain for a heist that likely netted enough cash to fill up a TIE fighter with gas for a couple of days.
As he robbed the Setauket Chase branch, the Sith Lord brandished a weapon for a more civilized age -- a semiautomatic handgun.
There was no telling whether he needed to use the force to make bank employees comply, cops said, but at one point, the Vader invader kneeled as if speaking to the Emperor and aimed his gun.
"He immediately displayed a gun and demanded cash from the teller," said Suffolk County Detective Sgt. William Lamb.
Apparently Darth's normal costume was out for cleaning, since the robber was caught on tape wearing a blue cape and camouflage pants when he showed up at the branch on Route 374 at 11:30 a.m.
After grabbing his cash, Vader escaped on foot through a parking lot.
Michael Aloisio, who works at a nearby restaurant, saw Vader run by.
"I thought it was pretty comical, but I guess this guy was pretty serious about needing some money," he said.
Det. Sgt. William Lamb said no one was injured by the thief, described as being between 6 feet and 6 feet 2 inches tall, though there was a minor scuffle inside the bank.
"After doing this for 28 years, nothing surprises me anymore but this was a unique one," Lamb told MyFoxNY.

San Antonio Personal Injury Lawyers
Suffering an injury can be an extremely traumatic experience for the victim, with the immediate consequences of the physical injury all too often becoming compounded by financial pressures related to medical costs and ongoing treatment and limitations resulting from the injury. In many situations, such injuries are no fault of the victim, but caused instead by the reckless and negligent actions of another party.

Second volume of OSMONDesque jams!
"Some people have to wait for fame; some people wait even longer than most. DONNIE and JOE EMERSON are in a league of their own. As teenagers in Fruitland, Washington in the late '70s, the farming brothers dreamed of being heard. The synthesizers were sometimes crude and the 8-track recorder had its limitations, but the brothers aimed at nothing short of perfection in their home studio on the farm. They titled their 1979 debut Dreamin' Wild, and, as multi-instrumentalist Donnie later admitted, "Joe and I basically lived the dream of the title of the album." The same goes for their parents who heavily believed in their sons' musical dreams, taking out a second mortgage on the farm and investing $100,000 in a dream that refused to die. But their privately funded, private press record sank without trace, the family lost most of their 1,600 acre farm, and as Joe focused on the family farming business, Donnie focused on his solo career. As for Dreamin' Wild, things began to change three decades later, when record collector Jack Fleischer bought a copy of the album for $5 at a Spokane thrift shop. Something about the brothers' smiles, bouffant hair, and matching white jumpsuits gave him a good feeling. Fleischer's blogging about the album brought it to the attention of cult musician Ariel Pink, who recorded his own version of standout track "Baby." Eventually re-released on Light In The Attic and widely available for the first time, the album chimed louder a lifetime after its conception. But Dreamin' Wild does not tell the full story. In a relatively short span of time—just two and half years—the boys put close to 70 songs down on tape, all recorded at that magical home studio on the farm. A dozen of them are included here on Still Dreamin' Wild: The Lost Recordings 1979-81 and ready to be enjoyed for the first time ever. With a familiar blend of FM rock, power pop, and new wave, these 12 tracks cover the entirety of that fruitful period, stretching from the second song Donnie ever recorded ("Everybody Knows It")—to tracks documenting his temporary move to L.A. in 1981. LP housed in deluxe Stoughton tip-on gatefold jackets with download." LITA

Carp lifts Red Sox over White Sox in 10
Red Sox 4, White Sox 3
Mike Carp's pinch-hit single in the 10th inning gave the Boston Red Sox a 4-3 win Thursday for their second straight walk-off victory over the Chicago White Sox.
Pinch-hitter Daniel Nava drew a leadoff walk and went to second on a sacrifice by Mookie Betts. Stephen Drew, in an 0-for-15 slump, was intentionally walked by Ronald Belisario (3-6). Carp then batted for David Ross and lined a single between shortstop and third base as Nava scored the winning run for the second consecutive game.
In Boston's 5-4 comeback victory Wednesday night, Nava doubled in Betts for the tying run in the ninth and scored on Brock Holt's game-winning single.

The would be mind blowing, but I hope it's a new game in the God Of War franchise and not a port of ascension.
To be realistic, I don't think this has anything to do with a Vita version. I think it has to do with the beta. I would love to be wrong and it does have something to do with a Vita version.
Please god let it be. I dont want the vita to get its own God of War. Ghost of Sparta was an amazing game and it was limited by the psp. That game deserve a full blowm ps3 game.
I don't think it will be a Vita version. I mean if they seriously had any plans on doing that, I feel they would have just announced it with the release of Ascension for PS3.
Just doesn't make too much sense they would keep that secret until now. Not to say I am not hoping for it, but I just doubt it is a Vita announcement.

Sleep problems - going from cot to bed! Sleep expert Mandy Gurney offers her advice… Time for a big bed!
Blog The Ultimate Guide to Kids Beds The transition from cot to bed is an exciting milestone for your child, and here at Cuckooland we aim to make the process as fun as possible. A key reason cabin beds appeal to children is that some are designed to be an enclosed resting place.
Sleep expert Mandy Gurney offers her advice… Our daughter is 19 months and still sleeping in her cot at night — but we need to use it for her new baby brother. How can I make sure she stays in her new bed and goes back to sleep if she wakes in the night?
Cabin Beds A popular choice amongst younger children and teenagers alike is the cabin bed. Most novelty beds will use the term single bed as a quick guide to sizing.
Ready for a bed? Ideally you should aim to keep your toddler in a cot for as long as possible but generally by the age of 3 years, most children have moved to a bed. A sure sign that a child needs to be transferred to a bed is when they persist in attempting to climb out of the cot or are successful in escaping!
If you give in and take her into your bed, the waking is likely to continue — after all, snuggling up with mum and dad is the ultimate reward for her night time waking. At the same time, she may develop inappropriate sleep associations and lose the ability to self-settle alone during the night.
Make it gradual A gradual retreat program will help teach your daughter to settle alone at bedtime and go back to sleep by herself during the night. This technique will minimise crying and is less likely to disturb her baby brother and the lucky parent whose turn it is to stay in bed! Gradual retreat is a method of gradually distancing yourself from your daughter little by little until she no longer needs your presence to fall asleep at bedtime.
It should teach her how to return to sleep independently during the night. STEP 1 After her usual bath and bedtime story routine, get her into bed with whatever cuddlies she sleeps with, and stroke her arm or shoulder as she settles. STEP 2 Stop stroking and gently pat her to sleep. After a couple of minutes of steady patting start to pat intermittently, with gradually increasing intervals between contact.
STEP 3 Place a hand very lightly on her and rest it there for a couple of minutes. STEP 4 This is where you start to quietly move your chair further away from her bed — quietly move it two feet away and sit for a couple of minutes; then move it to the middle of the room for a couple of minutes; and then move to beside the door. This sleep method normally takes around three or four weeks to complete. Controlled crying is one method you can try with a baby over 6 months… Find out more National Sleep Foundation Check out its module on Children and Sleep.
Covers common sleeping problems, including night waking and difficulty settling, and offers advice on developing good sleeping patterns and daily schedules to prevent sleeping problems developing in the first place.
Bright illustrations will appeal to toddlers.

W.H. works to flip ACA narrative
The Obama administration is scrambling on multiple fronts to salvage the Obamacare web site and change the negative narrative for the president's signature health care law.
On Wednesday the CEOs of several health insurance companies will head to the White House to meet with adviser Valerie Jarrett and chief of staff Denis McDonough,two industry sources said. And a top Health and Human Services official will update House Democrats on the glitchy health care enrollment site.
Story Continued Below
The president himself appeared Tuesday in an Organizing for Action You Tube video, asking supporters to spread the word about what Obamacare means to ordinary people — and promising to get the broken website fixed. "I'm asking you to be a part of Team Obamacare," he said. "We won't be able to reach everyone who deserves the safety and security of affordable health insurance without you."
Meanwhile the top technology contractors who helped build HealthCare.gov are preparing for what's likely to be the first of many congressional hearings — and trying to avoid shouldering all the blame for the sign-up website that won't let people sign up.
( QUIZ: Do you know Kathleen Sebelius?)
The White House basically has two battle lines in the Obamacare wars right now: The technology front, as tech experts from around the country have been called in to try to diagnose and repair the incredibly complex system. And there's a battle of public perception, as the White House works to keep worried allies in line —the reason for those meetings with health plan leaders and Democrats on the Hill.
All this unfolded a day after President Barack Obama stood in the Rose Garden and acknowledged the dismal rollout of HealthCare.gov and promised repairs.
Since the vaunted site opened — and stumbled —on Oct. 1, the lead contractor CGI and other tech companies that had a hand in building the site have taken beatings. Before the hearings, `they're laying out the trappings of their defense – a push back against critics who say the hired tech guns flubbed the giant project.
Contractors aim to redirect blame at the Obama administration and possibly each other, according to a source knowledgeable about CGI's actions and a House Oversight Committee letter.
( Also on POLITICO: Full health care policy coverage)
The first showdown over the flawed enrollment site is likely to come to a head on Thursday, as the House Energy and Commerce Committee holds the first hearing. It's shaping up to be a circular tech firing squad, with the Obama administration in the middle.
"When prudent design and programming decisions are subordinated to politics, the result is the chaotic mess we have today," wrote House Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa and other Republicans in a 13-page letter to the White House Office of Management and Budget, summarizing some of the conclusions they drew from information they've received from contractors.
House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton, who gets the first crack at questions Thursday, gave a preview to Detroit's WJR Radio.
"When did they know that it was going to be so poorly run? What answers do they have? Did they alert the administration that there were troubles early on?" he said. "There's going to be a ton of questions for them, and we'll see how they respond."
( QUIZ: Do you know Kathleen Sebelius?)
CGI last testified in early September and said they were ready to go live. At some time between that hearing and Oct. 1, "something drastically changed," said Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas).
"Who was waving their arms and waving a red flag that we were not ready to do this?" he said. "And was there any thought given to postponing things? I get it that Republicans would have a field day with [a delay], but we're not having a field day with this? Which would be worse?"
According to the letter Issa released, several of the contractors told the Oversight committee in interviews earlier this year that the White House was slow to release relevant data. Republicans on the committee criticized the delays and what they called the White House's heavy role in the process.
But committee Democrats disputed that narrative. They accused Republicans of partisan political attacks that are not based in fact. In other portions of its committee interviews, CGI officials stated that they "had no knowledge of any White House role in specific decisions relating to the website," Rep. Elijah Cummings (Md.), the top Democrat on the panel, wrote to Issa. "CGI officials also stated that they had seen no evidence of political considerations affecting operational decisions about the website. And when asked if they were aware of any political intervention by anyone at the White House, CGI officials answered, 'No, sir.'"

I don't get it...you seem incredulous that terrorists or whoever rides old rod-brake machines. What did you expect -- jihadis on Wilier Triestinas or Colnago C50s ?!?!?ReplyDelete
Ha ha...the beards! Good point!ReplyDelete
Anon : Cool. I didn't know that. But this game is set in a fictional future. Your objective as a Marine (or SAS commando) is to track down a rogue ultranationalist Russian leader named Imran Zakhaev who's supposedly amassing stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction... (ooh, any parallels from the Bush admin Iraq war story?) Somehow the fighting also ties in with the Middle East... Sigh, it is all over the place. Hence the name World at War.ReplyDelete
Check out the complicated plot here
Well the early installments of COD were set around that time. Im really sick and tired of running out of a boat into Normandy crying blood. I can think of two other titles called Medal of Honor and Battlefield 1942 but I personally never tried them out. Yes, they must have stolen the bikes. Someone didn't use U-locks.ReplyDelete

The New York State Senate and Assembly passed legislation yesterday that increases penalties for killing a police dog or police horse while on the line of duty. The bill (S1079A) (A2596A), sponsored by Sen. George D. Maziarz and Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski (D-New City), helps recognize the important roles these animals have in crime solving, rescue and recovery operations and other duties by creating a felony-level offense.
"Police animals do a remarkable job protecting and serving the citizens of this state," Maziarz said. "In 2011, the Niagara County Sheriff's Office lost their K-9, Rocky, when he fell off a roof tracking clues regarding a robbery. The use of police animals is increasing and they continually undertake tasks that our own police officers do. It is time that we provide these animals the protection they deserve under the law when they are injured or die in the line of duty."
In addition to the loss of Rocky, another high-profile death of a police animal came in March when Ape, a newly trained FBI dog, was fatally shot as police searched for Kurt Myers, a suspect in the deaths of four people in Herkimer.
"The role of police animals has significantly expanded over the past few years leading to increased use in investigations and apprehensions," Zebrowski said. "These animals provide protection, assistance and improve public safety. State and local police invest a great deal of time and resources in the training of these extraordinary animals. These animals are viewed and respected as ordinary police officers and we should begin to reflect that by increasing the penalty for killing them."
State and local law enforcement agencies increasingly rely on these animals in crime solving, rescue and recovery operations. Under current law, killing a police animal is a Class A misdemeanor. The legislation passed by both houses yesterday would make such an action a class E felony, punishable by up to four years in prison - the highest penalty for killing an animal in the state.

Car Deals
Green Car Deals: March 2014
Most shoppers think that buying a fuel-efficient new car means spending big money, but our list of green car deals and incentives proves that isn't the case. If you're searching for a green car that won't cost a fortune, you've come to the right place.
Chevrolet Volt
The Chevrolet Volt is a 5-door hatchback that boasts a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. In other words, you have to plug in the car to charge it. Then you can drive around 30 miles on electric power alone before the gasoline engine kicks in. In March, the 2014 Volt is offered with two excellent incentives. For drivers looking to finance, Chevrolet is touting 0 percent interest for up to 48 months. For shoppers who would rather lease, the Volt is available with payments from $269 per month for 36 months after $2,319 down at lease signing.

Ford Fusion Hybrid
The Ford Fusion Hybrid is a midsize sedan that offers excellent fuel economy thanks to its hybrid 4-cylinder engine. Through the end of March, it also offers an excellent value thanks to several incentives from Ford. For qualified shoppers looking to finance their next car, Ford is offering interest rates from 0 percent for 36 months to 0.9 percent for 48 months and 1.9 percent for 60 months. For drivers paying in full, Ford is offering up to $1,000 cash back on all Fusion Hybrid models.

Nissan Leaf
The fully electric Nissan Leaf is a 5-door hatchback that can travel more than 70 miles on electric power alone. In March, it's offered with several strong deals for drivers interested in saving the planet without paying a fortune. Qualified shoppers looking to finance, for example, can get a 2014 Leaf with 0 percent interest for up to 36 months. Meanwhile, drivers who would prefer to lease can get a 2014 Leaf with payments from just $199 per month for 36 months -- an excellent deal that requires just $1,999 down at lease signing. Of course, the Leaf also requires no fuel, meaning most drivers will save even more once they get on the road.
Toyota Camry Hybrid
The Toyota Camry Hybrid is a midsize sedan with a fuel-efficient hybrid 4-cylinder engine and an attractive price tag. Through the end of the month, Toyota is offering two incentives on the 2014 Camry Hybrid: one for shoppers looking to lease and the other for those interested in financing. For qualified drivers looking to finance, Toyota is touting interest rates from 0 percent for up to 60 months. Those who would rather lease a 2014 Camry Hybrid can get a 36-month term with monthly payments from $239 per month after $2,638 down at lease signing.

Toyota Prius c
Offering a hatchback body style and 50-plus miles per gallon, the Toyota Prius c is already one of the least expensive and most efficient hybrid cars available today. In March, the 2013 Prius c is an even better deal than usual thanks to two incentives from Toyota. The first deal offers 0 percent interest, a number that's available to qualified shoppers for up to 36 months. For drivers who would rather lease the small car, Toyota is offering 36-month term payments from $179 per month after $2,578 down at lease signing.

Google is a "verb," a "movement," a "force" of financial nature that at once has captured the imaginations of investors and entrepreneurs and accelerated the fear and paranoia of everyone from Microsoft to Apple to Yahoo.
But are the fears and paranoia justified? Have Google's best days already passed by?
For the first time in the company's short, but colorful and profitable history, the company may be faced with more challenges than opportunities; no where is that concern reflected more clearly than in the company's stock price. It's no slouch at $516 a share (with a market cap of $165 billion), but well off its 52-week high of $629.51 and trading in a very narrow range since last November.

Ricardo's Little Details
Like this entry? Favorite it below!

- Tiny
- What I Love About My Small Home:
- It came with a parking spot. Yes!
There are three modestly sized closets; quite a rare find for a studio apartment in the West Hollywood vicinity of LA. Almost every vintage piece of furniture and accessory I found on Craigslist, eBay, or in a thrift store.
There's plenty of room to sit on the streamlined sofa and on the expandable bench at the foot of my bed that can also double as a coffee table. The sofa conveniently turns into a bed by simply folding down the back rest.
My desk is simple and yet so funkified. My awesome bed is sleek, solid, Danish Modern with floating nightstands. It was important for me to find a nice bed since, well, it's just one of those things that stands out in a studio space like this. Another nice feature is the full size kitchen with enough space to fit a small dining table. My landlord was very accommodating by allowing me to paint the walls and change the ceiling light fixtures.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- How to decorate and maximize the space without sacrificing comfort, function, aesthetic, and my wallet. I wanted three distinct living spaces - a bedroom, living room, and an office - inside the 16'x15' main room, while maintaining cohesion throughout the rest of the apartment. The solution was choosing furniture that is appropriate in scale and purpose, a smart layout, and acquiring quality, timeless pieces I wouldn't want to dispose of like I had with previous furniture. A room divider in the main room was out of the question since it would restrict the flow and make it choppy. The bed placement was limited to two options: by the window, or against the long wall on the right where you enter. I opted for the window where it fits perfectly and visually anchors the room. Find a good balance between the necessary and unnecessary, and pay attention to the little details that make a huge difference visually - colors, patterns, textures, and the unexpected.

We have a LEO in the family. He's got kids in the local schools, and he's often called in to do "Meet Office Joe" duty. Show and tell, "don't take candy or rides from strangers" lecture, etc. Let's the elementary school kids hit the sirens and lights on the cruiser during annual outdoor picnic events at the schools, let's them sit in the back of the cruiser. I'm sure many of you Americans reading this had a local cop come to your school each year for something similar. I know I did.
So last week, he's headed to the middle school his daughter attends at the request of one of the teachers. Gets to the school (he's in full uniform), checks in at the front desk to let them know he's in the building. He brings in a lot of gear for show and tell (riot gear, shotgun, first aid bag). I know he hates unpacking all that **************** from his cruiser's trunk, but he's a softie when it comes to kids so he does it.
The assistant at the front desk sees the shotgun case and says she thinks the principal might object to the shotgun. He tells her he's done this presentaton before, the shotgun is unloaded, he doesn't hand it to the kids. She still hesitates. He tells her "You realize I'm carrying my duty sidearm, right?" She still hesitates and says she thinks the principal should weigh in on it. A few minutes later, the principal meets him at the classroom door and says she isn't comfortable with the shotgun, and would prefer he put it back in the cruiser.
Of course the principal is the head honcho of a school, and what he or she says, goes. But really, now we can't trust a state certified law enforcement officer with an unloaded shotgun as part of a presentation to a bunch of adolescents? Their young eyes have to be shielded from the evil images of a police shotgun, lest they get the wrong impression?
Is the shotgun necessary for show and tell? No. It's just a part of his presentation explaining what a police officer carries in the cruiser for crime fighting, life saving, civil emergencies, etc.
Guns exist. Hiding them from kids in a hope that they'll somehow magically forget they exist is a foolish attempt at alternate reality.

When the town fathers of Rhinebeck asked event coordinator Jeanne Fleming to create a holiday celebration that would pay homage to the region's Dutch heritage, she was immediately drawn to the legend of Sinterklaas.
When the town fathers of Rhinebeck asked event coordinator Jeanne Fleming to create a holiday celebration that would pay homage to the region's Dutch heritage, she was immediately drawn to the legend of Sinterklaas.
An actual 4th-century bishop, Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas, antecedent of Santa Claus) was the patron saint of children. When Dutch settlers came to Rhinebeck some 300 years ago, they brought with them the traditions and rituals of the benevolent bishop and his mischevious helpers (Grumpuses). Fleming turned the folklore into a weeklong celebration, culminating in a grand parade in which virtually the entire town participates.
"It's nondenominational," says Fleming. "It's for everyone."
The 2012 Sinterklaas Festival will begin across the river, in Kingston, on Saturday. Kingston represents Spain, explains Fleming, from where Sinterklaas is said to have sailed en voyage to Holland, represented by Rhinecliff.
"It starts with a children's maritime parade," says Fleming. "Sinterklaas walks down in the Rondout to greet the children. He gets on a big tugboat and arrives in Rhinecliff, where usually there are about a thousand people waiting for him." Also waiting at the Rhinecliff waterfront is Sinterklaas' trusty steed (a life-size puppet), a brass band and carolers.
After then "going into hiding," Sinterklaas next appears on Dec. 1 at the festival day parade in Rhinebeck. The procession, says Fleming, has grown bigger and better since its inception two decades ago. Preparation has included workshops where children make crowns and decorative branches.
"At Christmas in olden times," says Fleming, "children were judged as being naughty or nice. I wanted this to be about honoring children. So I took (the folklore), where naughty children were beaten with switches ... and turned the symbols of their powerlessness into branches. And instead of being judged, I made the children the kings and queens of the day."
More than 300 volunteers carry puppets in the parade, says the event's designer and coordinator. This year, the "honored animal" is the horse. Elaborately crafted hobby horses called burrokeets will make their debut in the procession, joining puppet creatures of the wood- and farmlands.
"My two favorite things about Sinterklaas," says Fleming, "are the Grumpuses and the stars." Town leaders, she says, obligingly dress as Sinterklaas' wild-men-from-the-woods companions. But where the legendary Grumpus character was mean-spirited and frightening, she says, Rhinebeck's Grumpuses are "friendly and fun."
The star, says Fleming, was chosen as a symbol for the event — "something that isn't about one religion, but something we could all come together around." At the close of the ceremonies, the adults, she says, will hold the hand-crafted stars (1,500 of them) as they bow down before the children.
"It's a moment when the scale of the town is totally changed," Fleming says. "Suddenly, the children, in their crowns and with their branches, are the tallest people in town."
"When I created this event for Rhinebeck," adds Fleming, "I wanted to take the emphasis off wanting and having, and place it on the spirit of generosity and caring — for each other, for our families, our community and for the world."

Posted by Dave Cooney: email
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - The Arizona Cardinals turned to rookie Ryan Lindley hoping he would be the answer to their season-long quarterback quandary.
The search goes on.
Lindley threw four interceptions in his first NFL start, including two returned for touchdowns by St. Louis rookie Janoris Jenkins, sending the Cardinals to their seventh straight loss, 31-17 to the Rams on Sunday.
"I punched myself pretty good today," Lindley said. "It obviously wasn't the outcome, the start I wanted, we wanted."
Lindley's rough day was the difference in a game between teams stuck in a tailspin since St. Louis beat Arizona 17-3 on Oct. 4.
The Cardinals, 4-0 headed into that game, went on to lose six straight behind a lackluster offense that struggled to score even after the defense forced six turnovers against Atlanta last week.
St. Louis was only slightly better after that meeting, losing four games and scraping out a 28-all tie against the NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers.
The Rams (4-6-1) were a lot better than the Cardinals (4-7) in the rematch.
After going five straight games without forcing a turnover - the third team in 62 years to do that - St. Louis forced four against Arizona. Jenkins had two of those, becoming the first rookie since 1960 and first Rams player to have two interceptions for touchdowns in one game.
Picking up the defensive pressure on Lindley in the second half, St. Louis forced three of his interceptions and held Arizona's offense to 141 yards while outscoring the Cardinals 17-0.
Sam Bradford was quietly efficient in running the Rams' offense, throwing 37-yard touchdown passes to Lance Kendricks and Chris Givens. Steven Jackson broke off some big runs with his hard-charging style, finishing with 139 yards on 24 carries.
In desperate need of a win, the Rams got it in emphatic fashion.
"It seems like for weeks or forever we've been talking about turnovers," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. "We kept saying that they often times come in bunches and they did today."
Consistency from the quarterback has been a problem for the Cardinals all season.
John Skelton opened the season as the starter and sprained his right ankle in the first game. Kevin Kolb took over the next five games before he suffered a chest injury against Buffalo on Oct. 14. Skelton was the guy the next four games before being replaced by Lindley after struggling against Atlanta last week.
Combined, they've thrown 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions, the highest quarterback rating among them Kolb's 86.1.
A sixth-round draft pick from San Diego State, Lindley looked good early against the Rams, going 7 of 8 passing to set up Beanie Wells for a 1-yard touchdown run on Arizona's opening drive.
Then, it was hit or miss.
A big miss came on the first play of the second quarter, when Jenkins intercepted Lindley's pass and returned it 36 yards for a touchdown.
Lindley then led the Cardinals on another drive to set up Wells' second touchdown, a 12-yard run, and moved them quickly down the field in the final two minutes to set up Jay Feely for a 32-yard field goal that cut St. Louis' lead to 17-14.
Then it was just ugly for Lindley.
Struggling at times with his reads, Lindley threw an interception on a miscommunication with Larry Fitzgerald, who kept running when Lindley thought he would stop. The rookie then compounded a bad decision with an even worse throw late in the quarter, an off-the-back-foot toss that Jenkins snared easily and raced in for a 39-yard touchdown that put the Rams up 28-17.
Lindley got a bad break on the fourth interception when the ball popped in the air after Fitzgerald lost the handle, ending Arizona's chances with just under 3 minutes left.
He completed 31 of 52 passes for 312 yards and no touchdowns to finish with a quarterback rating of 44.7.
"At times, he looked as good as you can look; he was on rhythm, he got the ball out quick, very decisive, made some really good throws," Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "I think you just have to understand he's a young player and he's got to understand he can't make a couple of those throws, especially the last one returned for a touchdown."
The good news for Arizona is that Kolb looked good throwing the ball in practice this week and may be back next weekend against the New York Jets.
The Cardinals hope he'll be the answer the second time around.

Questions arose after the 2010 reboot disappointed at the box office, at least in comparison to its production and marketing costs. But, ultimately, grossing $400 million worldwide was good enough for Disney, which is now in talks to hire Jesse Wigutow to write a new draft. Joseph Kosinski is still attached to direct.

Boston Strangler: In the early 1960s, more than a dozen women were sexually assaulted and then strangled to death by a serial killer in the Boston area. The events were brought to the screen in 1968's The Boston Strangler, with Tony Curtis as a rapist who confessed to the murders. Now Casey Affleck wants to make a new version; he's sold a pitch titled Boston Strangler to Warner Bros. and hopes to star in the movie himself as one of the detectives investigating the murders. [Deadline]
Star Trek Into Darkness Teaser: As if its title, synopsis and first poster were not enough, the first teaser for J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness makes abundantly clear that Captain Kirk and Mister Spock will be facing an implacable foe bent on total destruction. The full trailer debuts in front of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on December 14; the movie opens on May 17, 2013. [Apple]

Marlborough's trash disposal costs were $2.9 million in 2012, whereas although it has about 30,000 more residents, Framingham has budgeted just $2 million for disposal in fiscal 2013.
The green movement is good for the environment, good for public relations and, for many area towns, much easier on the wallet.
A review of data collected by the state shows that recycling rates are on the rise in MetroWest and the Milford area, in part a reflection of many towns' decisions to make recycling easier and more cost effective for residents.
Recycling rates for 26 area towns extrapolated from data provided by the Department of Environmental Protection show that the average recycling rate among towns that provided data was 31.2 percent in 2010, up from 26.8 percent in 2009.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Americans generated about 250 million tons of trash, recycling and compost in 2010, with a national recycling rate of 34.1 percent.
The rate in MetroWest is likely closer to the national average in 2012, as many towns are promoting recycling as best they can.
"People don't realize how expensive trash is," said Paul McNulty, director of public health in Westborough. "We always like to see more recycling, because it saves us money."
At 20 percent, Westborough had one of the lower recycling rates in 2010. Its residents go to the town dump to recycle, which McNulty said makes monitoring and encouraging recycling difficult.
"I don't think the recycling rate is going to get much better unless we penalize people by having someone write a ticket," he said, something which would not only be difficult for employees to enforce, but isn't likely to go over well with residents.
Town Manager Jim Malloy said he'd like to push the recycling rate higher, but there hasn't been much appetite for the "Pay As You Throw" system that has been popular in many towns.
Generally, the system charges residents for each bag of trash they throw away, while recycling is free. In towns such as Wayland, the system has led to increased recycling rates and substantially lower trash disposal costs.
Wayland led the pack in MetroWest with a 49 percent recycling rate in 2010, and according to its 2011 Annual Town Report, residents recycled more than they threw out in fiscal 2011, with 1,115 tons recycled and 1,059 tons disposed of.
Wayland uses the Pay As You Throw model with its transfer station, which is one of only a handful of trash operations in MetroWest that pays for itself.
An enterprise fund set up for the dump is self-sustaining, the town wrote in its annual report, with expenditures not to exceed $500,000 for fiscal 2013. Residents pay $155 for a dump sticker each year.
Weston had a 30 percent recycling rate at its Transfer Station for fiscal 2012, with 1,532 tons recycled and 2,063 tons of solid waste.
In Ashland, Interim Town Manager Mark Purple said the Pay As You Throw program has boosted recycling by double digits since enacted in 2006 and "easily cut a third" of the solid waste thrown out in town.
The town even gets a small cut of the action on value of its recyclables, he said, with a limited liability of a $15,000 loss should the market for the recyclables fall.
An increasing number of towns who do not elect to use Pay As You Throw are adopting a sort of hybrid system by providing trash totes of around 65 gallons and recycling totes closer to 100 gallons to encourage more recycling.
The large recycling totes accept all kinds of recyclables — called single-stream recycling — which might be the biggest help to area towns looking to boost recycling rates.
Marlborough just switched to the system this month, and projects it will save $300,000 a year by doing so. Framingham switched to large single-stream containers in 2010, and in fiscal 2012 residents recycled 350 more tons than the previous year, saving the town about $33,000.
Marlborough's trash disposal costs were $2.9 million in 2012, whereas although it has about 30,000 more residents, Framingham has budgeted just $2 million for disposal in fiscal 2013.
Bellingham, the town with the lowest recycling rates among those surveyed, recorded rates of just 11 and 13 percent respectively in 2009 and 2010 The town also recently made the switch to single-stream recycling.
"Going single stream recycling … makes recycling much easier, and financially it helps," said Town Administrator Denis Fraine, adding that it also helps the environment and the look of neighborhoods.
"We don't have recycling blowing all over the street on collection day anymore," he said, because people no longer have to sort recycling out in the smaller bins.
Fraine said the town hasn't recalculated a recycling rate yet, but expects to conservatively save $70,000 this year in trash disposal costs.
"We've taken about a thousand tons out of the waste stream already," he said. "At 70 dollars (tipping fee) a ton, it starts to add up."

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (Tuesday, January 31, 2012) – The Colorado Rapids and Head Coach Oscar Pareja have set the club's full technical staff for the 2012 season, with Wilmer Cabrera joining as an Assistant Coach. Cabrera, who represented Colombia at two World Cups (1990 and 1998), served until recently as the head coach of the United States Under-17 National Team.
Joining Pareja and Cabrera on the technical staff are Assistant Coach Paul Caffrey and Goalkeeper Coach David Kramer. Caffrey had served as Cabrera's assistant with the U.S. U-17's, while Kramer begins his fifth season on the Rapids staff, having joined the club in June 2008. The staff will also return Fitness Coach John Ireland, Team Administrator Erik Carlson, Head Athletic Trainer Jaime Rojas, and Equipment Manager Carlos Garcia.
"Wilmer is a talented, experienced coach, and his presence will strengthen our whole club," said Head Coach Oscar Pareja. "With Wilmer, Paul Caffrey, David Kramer and the rest of the staff, we have all the pieces in place, and we're eager to get the season started."
"We're thrilled to have such an experienced and accomplished group leading our team," said Rapids Technical Director Paul Bravo. "The work that our technical staff has done at every level of soccer will help us continue to develop and improve our team."
Cabrera comes to the Rapids after serving more than four years as the head coach of the U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team, during which time the team twice qualified to the FIFA U-17 World Cup (2009 and 2011) and advanced to the round of 16 both times. The native of Cartagena, Colombia had a 20-year professional playing career in Colombia, Argentina, Costa Rica and the United States, and also played 48 times with the Colombian National Team.
Caffrey has spent the last four years with the U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team as Cabrera's assistant coach, and worked alongside Pareja, who was also with the team in 2007-08. From 2002-2007, Caffrey was the head coach of Suffolk County Community College of the National Junior College Athletic Association, helping the team to two consecutive national final four appearances (2003, 2004) and earning National Soccer Coaches Association of America Northeast Region Coach of the Year in 2004 and the Region XV Coach of the Year in 2003 and 2006. The native of Dublin, Ireland was a four year starter and three year captain at Adelphi University, and appeared in the European Cup Winners Cup in 1985 for University College of Dublin F.C. of the League of Ireland.
David Kramer enters his fifth season as Goalkeeper Coach with the Rapids, having worked closely with Matt Pickens, Steward Ceus and Ian Joyce, among others. Under Kramer, Pickens has set career-high marks in many categories, as well as earned call-ups to the United States National Team, and Ceus has become the starter for the Haiti National Team. In a seven-year MLS career with Los Angeles, San Jose, and Colorado, he appeared in 106 matches, with 98 starts, and posted 15 shutouts. Kramer played in 42 games for the Rapids from 2000-2002, including eight playoff matches.

The last time we ran into Kristin Ess, she was fresh off a flight from LAX. And, unlike most folks, not a hair was out of place. Our messy top knot didn't hold a candle to Ess' perfect mermaid waves (seriously, even fellow redhead Ariel would probably bow down!). As you can imagine, this level of glamour is common practice for The Beauty Department blogger — showing up at meetings with styled strands, flawless makeup, and never a minute late (yeah, she's that friend!).
As Lauren Conrad's go-to hair guru (she's responsible for that peachy ombré and those braid-within-a-braid styles), Ess has a ton of tricks up her sleeve. Lucky for us, she revealed the 28 beauty products she commits to day in and day out to keep her pretty from morning to night. Just don't be shocked if you run into us at the beauty counter stocking up, too!

SERENITY NOW!!ReplyDelete
tres mignon
THOSE BUTTONS! They are tres adorable. Makes me want to knit up a little sweater for somebody's child and put them on it. Funny, how a little thing like that can inspire bigger artistic dreams (well not so big...child sweaters are pretty small). But still.ReplyDelete
And what a delicious way to fall off the wagon! mmmmm.
I pity the child who gets lessons in manners from American rabbits! And when I meditate like afros, I meditate on what flavor of ice cream to try next.... :-)ReplyDelete
Aren't French kids' stores just the best?? I can't get enough...and I don't even have little kids anymore!ReplyDeleteReplies
Exactly Connie the point I was making.Delete
I think these shops are for so-called 'grownups' who want to play a bit.
I say forget the restraints, indulge in that part of you that is still child-like, and all kinds of other goodies.ReplyDelete
Yer only young once...even if it is in spirit, these days.
Thank you veryReplyDelete

Report: D-backs extend Goldschmidt
Phoenix, AZ – The Arizona Diamondbacks and Paul Goldschmidt are reportedly on the verge of agreeing to a five-year contract extension.
According to the Arizona Republic, the deal will pay Goldschmidt $32 million and includes a club option of $14.5 million for 2019.
Goldschmidt emerged as the Diamondbacks' everyday first baseman in 2012, his first full season in the majors. In 145 games, he batted .286 with 20 home runs, 43 doubles and 82 RBI.
The 25-year-old has had a splendid spring, hitting a robust .414 with a .493 on-base percentage in 27 games.
Despite his limited experience at the big league level, the Diamondbacks clearly view Goldschmidt as one of their cornerstone players.
Selected by Arizona in the eighth round of the 2009 draft out of Texas State, Goldschmidt reached the majors two years later after posting impressive numbers in his minor league career.
Goldschmidt, who never played a game in Triple-A, batted .314 with 35 homers and 108 RBI at Advanced Single-A in 2010 and compiled a .306-30-94 line at Double-A the next year before being promoted.

Simple 3-Monitor Setup Maximizes Screen Real Estate
Setting up a multi-monitor computer can seem like a challenge, but once you've got the details down, it can be surprisingly easy. A powerful desktop with more than one graphics card usually does the job. While most people are content with one modest-sized screen, Flickr user Techie has got a total of 3 in his Mac setup.
Techie is a self-confessed gadget guy, hardware daydreamer, comprehensive geek. His setup is mostly used for photo editing and school work since he's a student. Although he even admits that it's a bit over the top, since he's got an 8-core Mac Pro running the show, he'll definitely be able to use this computer for years to come.
The Mac Pro allows him to use 3×30-inch monitors. Yes, that's three 30-inch monitors, from Dell, Samsung, and HP. The full resolution of these monitors is 7680×1600, but this is unfeasible for gaming unless you're using a flight simulator. Techie usually splits 10 to 15 apps over the panels, including stagnant apps that are placed on the far right or left. Some programs might use more than one monitor, but he tends to avoid this because of the strain that it can put on his graphics processor.
-3× 30" monitors (Dell, HP, and Samsung)
-8-core Mac Pro (8 GB RAM, 2x Intel X25-V stripe SSD, nVidia 8800GT & GT 120, 4 TB storage)
-Herman Miller Aeron chair
-Logitech and Dell sound systems arranged as single output
The Mac Pro is definitely built for multi-monitor usage. Out of the box, it can come ready to support two monitors and more. Techie has got two nVidia graphics cards to handle the workload for tasks. If you're looking for an easy way to do this, Mac Pros are a good option. It simply involves buying the hardware and plugging it in. As for PCs, the overall price will be less, but they can be finicky to setup if you haven't done so before. Possible improvements would include a cable management system for all those pesky wires, and maybe some nice lighting solutions that could be placed behind this monitor array. The lights could be LED or simply table lamps.

Four Tet's Kieran Hebden is all for Tenori-on
Another ground-breaking artist adopts Yamaha's most forward-thinking product…
The list of high profile artists queuing up to get their hands on Yamaha's Tenori-on is staggering. Many, in fact, have been left disappointed due to short supplies of the innovative light and sound sequencing tone module. So far Björk has been spotted on tour with one in South America (watch video) and Peter Gabriel is known to be experimenting with one at Real World, but another cutting edge artist lucky enough to get his hands on an early unit was Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet.
From the very beginning of his career Kieran Hebden has never played by the conventional rulebook. As one of the founder members of critically acclaimed band Fridge his musical output has always defied categorisation, but this hasn't stopped his music from appearing in many high profile commercial projects. Hebden has also been pressed into service supporting some of the greatest artists of the modern age, such as Radiohead, while his remixing skills have been sought by the likes of Aphex Twin, Badly Drawn Boy and Steve Reich.
With his unconventional background it's perhaps unsurprising to find that Kieran was one of the world's first adopters of Yamaha's Tenori-on – the instrument that has set the music world ablaze with its fusion of sound and light. Tenori-on is a truly original instrument for the 21st century and a portable device that itself – much like Kieran – defies convention and description.
"I was talking to a music journalist," Kieran tells us, "and they mentioned Tenori-on to me, so I went and checked the few clips that were on YouTube before its release. I'm interested in anything that's about finding new ways to trigger and use samples and sounds, and I also love using step sequencers, so this was just the sort of thing I'd be interested in."
Kieran has adopted Tenori-on for his live work and is currently playing with the legendary American Jazz drummer Steve Reid. "It's really good for live improvisation," he says. "I use it to play rhythmically along with the drums just using the Push function, and I also use it to make dense washes of sound with the Bounce function. I also run it through effects and can get some crazy noise out of it – it just works really well at the shows because it's so visual."
In the future Kieran also hopes to make more music on his Tenori-on… "I use it on top of my main [studio] set-up at the moment, but I could make whole tracks on it if I tried. It's just something new that I can reach for on top of everything else."
So what is it that Kieran likes best about the unit?
"I like that it's so portable," he says. "I use it on train journeys and stuff just to mess around with ideas. And it's so quick to work on – you can get a lot of sound working together very quickly."
Kieran is keeping busy in 2008 with another album with Steve Reid, which he is currently finishing in New York, "and there will be plenty of touring next year, as usual." But after achieving so much at such a young age – he started out in his teens – what else is there left to achieve for Hebden and what are his remaining ambitions?
"I'm just trying to do my own thing, something a bit different," comes the somewhat unsurprising answer!
