Among the dull roar of criticisms about iPhone I have to endure, one in particular stands out as the most irritating and unfounded - the attack against AT&T. I hear these slanderous indictments all the time..."Why did Apple choose AT&T?", "AT&T sucks! They should have gone with Verizon or Sprint", "AT&T is evil". Blah blah blah.
Here's a bit of schooling for you numbskulls - What you don't understand is that the quality and reliability of wireless service in the U.S. is subjective and varies from one location to another. For example, in my specific locale, Sprint offers the worst reliability and coverage of any major carrier. T-Mobile is practically non-existent. Verizon offers great service, but their selection of handsets is abysmal. So, for all practical purposes, AT&T is the "best" wireless carrier for me. Your experience will vary. A friend of mine who lives in Redmond Washington (no, it isn't Bill Gates) says that T-Mobile offers the best coverage and voice quality in his area, while Sprint is teh suck. So which one of us is right? We both are.
Unlike other parts of the world like Asia and Europe, wireless infrastructure in North America is less ubiquitous and unevenly distributed. This is the reason why we suffer through so many dropped calls, poor voice quality, and latency.
So yes, AT&T does suck. And so does Verizon. So does Sprint. So does T-Mobile. And so on. There is no "best" wireless carrier, only best in your location. Live it, learn it, be it.

With a nod to the noble sport of boxing, SLAM! Wrestling gives to you a detailed look at the main events for WrestleMania. With Tale of the Tape, we present the stats, the history, the previous Wrestlemania appearances of the headliners.
WWF Championship: John Cena (c) vs HHH
Whilst it has been claimed that the Wrestlemania main event between John Cena and Triple H has been planned since last year's event, there are still many questions that remain unanswered, especially as to whom will come out on top. On one hand, it seems unthinkable that Triple H would lose at a third consecutive Wrestlemania, but likewise John Cena has yet to lose at the annual wrestling showcase and indeed has captured titles on both his previous appearances.
Name: John Cena
Date of Birth: April 23, 1977
Hometown: West Newbury, Mass.
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 240 pounds
Signature manoeuvre: F.U.
Brief Bio: John Cena made his WWE television debut in June 2002, and has barely looked back since. A bland babyface upon his entry to WWE, Cena soon turned heel, grooming his tough-guy rapper persona which he maintains today. Whilst the heel Cena had notable feuds with Chris Benoit and The Undertaker, his humourous put-downs were drawing much fan appreciation, and it wasn't long before he turned face again and embarked on a program with Brock Lesnar. At 2004's Wrestlemania he defeated Big Show for the United States championship, a title he would hold on a further two occasions. Having just come up short in the 2005 Royal Rumble, Cena got a WWE title shot with JBL at Wrestlemania, and indeed took the title for the first time at the event. Since then, he has transferred from Smackdown to RAW, and regained the WWE title from Edge, to whom he lost the belt at this past January's New Year's Revolution. [Full biography]
How he got here: Having re-claimed the WWE title from Edge at the Royal Rumble, Cena has found himself confronted by his Wrestlemania challenger HHH in recent weeks, although the two have yet to square off in a competitive match. In fact, the closest fans have to come to seeing this confrontation was at Saturday Night's Main Event on 18th March, when Cena and Triple H teamed to face Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, and Kurt Angle in a handicap match. During the match, Cena refused to accept Triple H's tag to wrestle Mysterio, which later prompted "The Game" to turn on Cena with a Pedigree, although Cena did eventually score the pinfall on Orton. On the 20th March edition of RAW, Cena incurred the wrath of WWE owner Vince McMahon, who promptly challenged Cena to a match the following week.
Wrestlemania History: Cena's only two previous Wrestlemania appearances have resulted not only in wins, but in Championship wins. Last year, he defeated JBL to win the WWE World Heavyweight Title, and in 2004 he defeated The Big Show to win the United States Heavyweight Title.
Brief Bio: Currently a ten-time World Champion (4-time WWE champion, 5-time World Heavyweight Champion, 1-time Undisputed Heavyweight Champion), Triple H was trained by Killer Kowalski, and picked up by WCW in 1994, two years after his independent debut. After failing to make any impression on the Atlanta outfit, he moved to WWE in 1995 as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, the American aristocrat. Originally scheduled for a push as 1996 King of the Ring, Triple H was reprimanded in May of that year for the infamous "Curtain Call" incident at Madison Square Garden, and was pushed back into mediocrity. It took him a year to recover fully, winning the 1997 King of the Ring, and forming DX with Shawn Michaels, Chyna and Rick Rude. He soon took the mantle of leader from Michaels, and won his first WWE title at Summerslam 1999. Shortly thereafter, Triple H (the character) married Stephanie McMahon, an angle which would be mirrored in real life by their marriage in 2003. Since then, Triple H has feuded with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit, to name but a few. [Full biography]
How he got here: Despite entering the Royal Rumble at Number 1, Triple H survived all the way to the last three, before being eliminated by eventual winner Rey Mysterio. On subsequent RAW shows he was involved in a tournament to declare the Wrestlemania opponent for WWE champion John Cena. Triple H eventually won the tournament by defeating Big Show and Rob Van Dam in a Triple Threat match, yet was forced to team with Cena at Saturday Night's Main Event against Kurt Angle, Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio. The bout ended with a Triple H/Cena victory, but only after Triple H had attacked his own partner.
Wrestlemania History: Triple H has a very strong record at Wrestlemania, although less so in marquee matches. Last year, he succumbed to Batista, losing his World Heavyweight Title. In 2004, he also lost out to Chris Benoit in a Triple Threat match with Shawn Michaels. 2003 was more successful, when he defeated Booker T, as was 2002 when he captured the Undisputed World Heavyweight belt from Chris Jericho. In 2001, he lost to The Undertaker, but made Wrestlemania history in 2000 by retaining his WWE title in a Fatal Fourway over Mick Foley, The Rock and Big Show. In 1999 he lost via disaqualification to Kane, following interference from Chyna, but defeated Owen Hart via pinfall in 1998's version of the event. In 1997, he pinned Goldust, although in 1996 he embarrassingly lost to the Ultimate Warrior.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsNews & Views
Finish Line - Caption Contest - April 2014
Laughing in the face of deadlines
Caption Contest
Regular readers know that Senior Tech Editor KJ Jones is always working hard. He's tracking down, shooting, and covering the latest Mustang performance hardware. KJ is so hardcore, he even uses vacation time to hit events and trade shows that aren't part of his work assignments.
Case in point, KJ took off a couple days to hit the NMRA race in Joliet, Illionis, last year. We all know vacations are fun, but exhausting. Who can blame him for grabbing a little shut-eye? However, we also can't blame JC Cascio at Strange Engineering for taking this shot.
What do you have to say about KJ's NMRA naptime? If you make us laugh with your clever caption, you might just get one of the rare 5.0&SF stickers with our old logo.

Byzantium Analytics
Byzantium Analytics seeks to provide its clients with timely and targeted information to fulfill their goals. Understanding that people often do not fully understand how they make important decisions relative to one's business or organization, Byzantium's analytic methodology allows one to get beneath surface perceptions, feelings, and thoughts to better appreciate the deeper processes underneath choices. Thus, a business or organization can become familiar with what clients/constituents cannot report on directly—the part of the mind that actually influences behavior. To this end, Byzantium Analytics offers three high quality consulting and educational services: behavioral marketing research, hiring consultation, and personnel development. The method we use to achieve these ends is called Relational Decision Analysis (ReDA). ReDA is a scientific theory of human motivation and behavior, not a strategy or approach. It is based on published peer-reviewed science in the fields of psychology, marketing, cognition, and neurology. We have carefully blended our professional expertise and academic training to craft a method that we know will provide real value for our clients. For more, please go to our website (still somewhat under development) at byzantiumanalytics.com
Higher end corporate and institutional clients who are (1) seeking solid and actionable data on how to better present themselves to their own customers and the public and/or (2) wanting to better develop their own human capital so as to be more effective in achieving key goals.
We need a highly polished design that will reflect our performance-driven attitude and customer service orientation to higher end corporate and institutional clients. The design should read easily, be recognizable whether in a larger (i.e. webpage) or smaller (i.e. business card) format. We want to present ourselves as an established and reliable partner to current and potential clients.

What Does It Mean to Referee in AYSO?AYSO has a very clear philosophy -- its games are to be played so that they are a safe, positive, enjoyable growth experience for the children. However, this is not achieved by adopting idiosyncratic or peculiar rules. AYSO games follow standard, international soccer FIFA Laws of the Game very closely, with only a very few changes to implement AYSO's philosophy (e.g., controlled substitutions to ensure that "Everyone Plays") and, at the youngest age levels, to adapt the game to the physical and mental maturity of the players.
When Do I Referee Games?
The AYSO season in Palo Alto starts just after Labor Day and continues until some time in November or early December, depending on the age group. The clinics that prepare (or refresh) referees for the season are held during the summer or the first couple of weeks of the Fall. We hope to see you at one of them!
Why Should I Referee?The best reason for being an AYSO Referee is for the kids. Referees play a vital role in keeping the games Safe, Fair and Fun -- what AYSO is all about and why kids enjoy AYSO so much.
But why should YOU do it? While everyone is welcome, refereeing is especially likely to appeal to you if:
When you do, you'll find out that it's fun! Especially at the younger age levels, AYSO refereeing is not particularly stressful. Your role is to help the kids structure their game as soccer, teach them a bit about the game and the role of the Referee, and, occasionally, to intervene to keep everything fair. Best of all, you get to be out on the field with the kids, enjoying the game from "up close", while everyone else has to watch from the touch lines.
How Do I Become a Palo Alto AYSO Referee?To become an AYSO referee, you must attend an AYSO referee certification course/clinic. They are designed to be quick, easy, and fun to take -- even for those with no prior soccer experience. The introductory courses cover the Laws of the Game, the way AYSO soccer games are structured and conducted, and the spirit and philosophy of AYSO. At these courses, you will also pick up some things you will need: a copy of the Laws of the Game, a referee uniform, a whistle, etc. Uniforms and equipment are provided by the Palo Alto AYSO.
Referees are not used in Kinder (6U)
Referees are associated with their teams in 8U
Referees self-assign to 10U games
Referees are assigned to games at 12U and above

Can Anemia Change the Color of My Periods?
I have iron deffencey anmeia and taking two pills a day for it. At the time my doctor gave me the iron pills I had no iron left in my body. I have to get a blood test every two months for another medication that I am taking so I asked him about my anemia. I was having shortness of breath, chest pain with activity, very tired, cold. etc. I new that was my anemia. So he gave me the iron pills. My last blood test was in September and it was ok. But I have been so tired that I was falling to sleep at work and my doctor gave me time off of work to sleep. I got my blood test done last week because he wanted it done early to check my anemia. Today I have my period but it is not normal. Instead of bright red blood it is more a pink color. Can anemia accuatly cause the color of my peroids to change color?
It sounds as if you have had a difficult time with the anemia. I'm glad that you have had it treated! Please be sure to keep up with the treatment as it's very important. I hope you've found the source of your anemia.To address your question, yes, it's possible for the anemia to cause a change in your period as you may not have replenished the lining to your uterus very well while you were so anemic. So, please be sure to keep track of your iron and be sure to make sure that your diet is rich in iron foods like red meats, dark green leafy vegetables are all really good for you at this points. Organ meats like liver are also great, although many people don't like them. Your periods should return to normal as your anemia improves, but if it doesn't, be sure to let your provider know so she or he can monitor that for you. Hope this helps and all the best.

State grants funding to purchase 41 acres of open space in East Lyme's Oswegatchie Hills
East Lyme — A state grant, slated to be approved by the State Bond Commission Thursday, will help preserve a 41-acre land parcel in the Oswegatchie Hills, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced on Tuesday.
The land for preservation, the "Bayreuther Property," is private property that abuts the 420-acre Oswegatchie Hills Nature Preserve, in the hills along the Niantic River. The undeveloped property is on the preserve's east side with frontage on Quarry Dock Road.
The nature preserve will total 461 acres of open space with the proposed acquisition. The preserve was created through efforts of the town, the Friends of the Oswegatchie Hills Nature Preserve and the East Lyme Land Conservation Trust, as well as the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and other agencies, according to the governor's news release.
The anticipated acquisition would provide a buffer against residential development, said Mike Dunn, the director of land acquisition and board member of the nonprofit Friends of Oswegatchie Hills. The property would also preserve additional acreage in an important migratory bird flyway, he added.
The State Bond Commission is slated to approve a requested amount of $200,000 on Thursday, with $100,000 being released for the purchase of the Bayreuther property, according to the governor's office. The remaining amount was requested for an additional parcel under consideration, but it turns out only the Bayreuther property is available at the moment, explained state Rep. Ed Jutila, D-East Lyme.
A private foundation, The Thompson Family Foundation, has pledged $150,000 toward the purchase of the Bayreuther property, said Dunn. The Friends and the town are expected to contribute the remainder of the roughly $300,000 purchase price, he said.
"Land conservation is an important investment in our future, and this undeveloped property in East Lyme will add another great segment to Oswegatchie Hills, ensuring that residents have access to this land for generations to come," Malloy said in a written statement. "Preservation projects are key to maintaining our high quality of life, protecting the immense natural beauty of our state, and making Connecticut a great place to live, work and raise a family."
Jutila, state Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford, and state Rep. Betsy Ritter, D-Waterford, worked toward the grant.
"This funding will bring us a major step closer to the goal of preserving all of Oswegatchie Hills and protecting the Niantic River against further damaging runoff," Jutila said in a written statement.
In an interview, Jutila said the pristine woodlands, with a terrain of ledge and hills that lends itself to runoff into the Niantic River, should be protected from development. The hills provide trails and attractive scenery of the cove and river.
"It makes a beautiful nature preserve," he said.
Developers Landmark Development and Jarvis of Cheshire have been working for years to build residential units in land they own north of the preserve. The developers are appealing East Lyme's rulings of their applications.
"This funding is a big step toward ensuring the Oswegatchie Hills remain pristine and beautiful forever," Ritter said in a statement. "We are closer than ever to realizing the goal of preservation of our shoreline."

I'm re-sharing this post from last February - I recently made it for one of my cooking workshop... they oo-ed and ah-ed. I had forgotten how good it was!
In New England almost every restaurant has a Lobster Bisque on the menu. Some are great - luscious, creamy soups filled with large chunks of claw meat. Others are thin, flavorless and without any actual lobster meat. After a few disappointing restaurant experiences with Lobster Bisque I started asking servers to describe their bisque - is there actually lobster meat in it? creamy? but not thick and goopy... right?
I made this for lunch after a seafood feast from the night before, making use of our shells to make the stock. Seafood stock is really very easy to make. You are basically just boiling the shells!
Lobster Bisque
smooth, creamy seafood soup
New! Printable Recipes, here.
6 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup of flour
2 teaspoons of old bay seasoning
2 cups of Seafood Stock (homemade, see below)
6 cups of milk
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
sea salt and pepper
1 pound of lobster, crab or shrimp (or combination), torn or cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup of heavy cream
In a saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. Whisk in flour and old bay, continue stirring for 1 minute. Add seafood stock and continue to whisk over medium heat until smooth. Add milk and tomato paste. Cook on medium for 10 minutes, until the soup begins to thicken, stirring periodically to make sure the soup doesn't burn! Lower the heat. Continue to cook until the desired thickness is achieved. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Add lobster, crab or shrimp and heavy cream. Garnish with a dash of old bay, chives, and a drizzle of heavy cream.
Homemade Seafood Stock
making use of shells
seafood shells (lobster, crab or shrimp)
black peppercorns
sea salt
onion, quartered
garlic head, cut in half
In a large pot of water, boil seafood shells, peppercorns, sea salt, onion and garlic for 30 minutes until it has reduced. Reserve liquid from other debris (shells, garlic, peppercorns, etc.).

Violet Greenfield wants nothing more than to be able to fade into the background of high school. Unfortunately, her height makes that almost impossible. To compensate for her long legs and ever-growing body, she tries to dress inconspicuously and avoids drawing any attention to herself. Even her job, at the small hometown movie theater is designed to keep her hidden- anyone in their right mind (even Violet) goes to the megaplex across town to see a movie.
In Violet on the Runway , Violet's life is forever changed the day she meets the woman in Chanel glasses at the movie theater. In the midst of complaining about her movie-going experience, the woman is stunned by Violet and hands over a card for Tryst modeling, asking if Violet is "signed anywhere". Violet accepts the card, but laughs it off. However, over the next few days the card burns a hole in her pocket. Is this woman, Angela, right? Could she possibly be model material? She eventually decides to take the plunge, which takes her and her mother to New York for go-sees, appointments with designers. When four designers choose Violet to walk their Fashion Week runways, she is suddenly thrust into a whole new world.
Is modeling all that it's cracked up to be? Can Violet survive being a runway model, the next "It" girl, and a high school senior? Can her life back home and her relationships with friends and family stay intact? Most importantly, can Violet survive, intact?
I really enjoyed this book! It was a great look at the world of modeling and glamour, but with a likable heroine. Violet is genuine and real, you feel like you know her. She struggles and makes mistakes, but you don't blame her. She just wants to be something more than P-L-A-I-N. And really, isn't that what we all want in middle school and high school?
I plan to recommend this to students who enjoy THE CLIQUE novels and Meg Cabot's AIRHEAD. And I am thrilled that it is perfectly acceptable for 6th graders. I often have a hard time finding acceptable readalikes for these books, and Violet on the Runway fits the bill. Even better? It's a series (be sure to check out Violet by Design and Violet In Private )! I already sent a recommendation to a few of my former students who I know will enjoy Walker's books.
This month, Melissa Walker's Violet books are the pick of the month at readergirlz. And there's more! I was excited to see an opportunity to win a signed copy of the book on Hope's Bookshelf. And the author, Melissa Walker, is having a release month party on her blog where she is giving away a book she has read and loved every day. The grand prize is going to be signed copies of the Violet trio.

Steve Azar's "Soldier Song" Video Uses Soldiers Reunion Pictures for the Video Watch
Steve Azar's "Soldier Song" is emotional enough if you ask me. However, when you listen to the lyrics and watch the images in this video it makes for a tearful experience. When I watched this video for the first time, I was blown away to learn the the images were taken by the actual soldiers and/or their families. Check it out.

I have been using the Notes 9 Social Edition client for the past few months as we are adding new features to it. I have seen it take shape into a brand-new client. I do like a good number of the new features in the product, but the Top-3 in the release are below:
1. Quick Launch Bar -- Huge + for me. It's always there. Saves me from using the OPEN drop-down completely. As you can see, I have added HOME and Workspace to it so I can easily access them (yes, I still use Workspace for some DBs)
2. New Welcome Page (Discover Page) Quick Links -- allowing me to quickly access my last 6 applications - I think this is a great functionality as I can quickly open an application which I had previously opened. Typically I am working in 4-5 applications besides my mailfile. So they are pretty much there in this list and I don't have to click on "Open" to get to it. Very convenient.
3. Quick Search -- really a nice enhancement to quickly search for a name in the inbox, which is what I do most of the time. Great that it automatically sorts the column I want to look for (prior releases required me to manually sort the column). And the nice part is that it has the "Recent Contacts" like type-ahead functionality to help me with the name rather than requiring me to type the entire name.
What are you favorite 3?

America's oldest motorcycle company unveiled its newest engine Saturday night at the Daytona Bike Week celebration in Florida, and it's big.
Really big. In celebration of the company's 112-year-old legacy, it's an 111-cubic-inch engine. With 115 foot-pounds of torque.
The massive V-twin power plant will become the "heartbeat of upcoming, all new 2014 Indian motorcycles." So far, the company isn't saying what that motorcycle is.
For now, the only machine being driven by the giant Thunder Stroke is the Spirit of Munro, a brand new speed racer named after legendary Burt Munro, who in 1967 set the all-time land speed record for a motorcycle under 1000cc. Burt hit 183.586 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flat riding a customized 1920 Indian Scout. (His triumph was re-enacted by Anthony Hopkins in the 2005 film "The World's Fastest Indian.") The Spirit was designed by Jeb Scolman, of the Long Beach fabricator Jeb's Metal and Speed.
The engine was built in Osceola, Wisc., and will be attached to motorcycles in Spirit Lake, Iowa, in factories operated by Polaris Industries -- the relatively new owner of the very old motorcycle company. Polaris bought Indian in 2011. The 2013 Indian Chief Final Edition, revealed at last year's Progressive International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach, was the last of the company's motorcycles to be assembled at the Kings Mountain, N.C., facility. All future Indians will be built at Spirit Lake.

"Pay Me My Money Down"
And that reggae revolution all but erased the older and more familiar calypso genre from the mainstream of popular music, a really significant erasure if you recall that for a few years in the mid-50s calypso was the most prominent form of pop in a craze that was spearheaded by the phenomenon of Harry Belafonte, one of the first black American musical artists whose crossover appeal far past the restricted areas of blues and jazz presaged in many ways the social upheavals that were to come in the Civil Rights era. Belafonte was a singer's singer, an artist who never limited the material he performed to a single genre and who started his professional career as a Greenwich Village folksinger. His Calypso album of 1956 on RCA Records is a landmark in American musical history as the first recording certified to have sold more than a million copies, and nearly every song on the record has become a pop standard - "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)," "Jamaica Farewell," and "Will His Love Be Like His Rum?" to cite three. The album gave a boost to the careers of both the Caribbean originals from whom Belafonte learned the songs and to American folk groups like The Tarriers and The Weavers who had already included Jamaican and Bahamian songs in their repertoires.
Belafonte was born in New York City of Jamaican parents, and it was from them and from his trips to the island to visit relatives that Harry B first heard the music. The irony is, though, that to scholars what Harry was hearing and singing was not actually calypso music at all, which in its narrowest academic definition can only be from Trinidad and Tobago, whereas similar music from Jamaica must be called mento. So fine a distinction never reached the consciousness of the executives at Victor or the American population at large, and "calypso" came to be the preferred term for all Afro-Caribbean music before reggae.
What we call calypso today was markedly different from reggae in more than rhythm. Calypso music was derived largely from the work songs of black sailors and stevedores and not from the political sensibilities of individual writers as much of reggae is. Even the great calypso composers like Lords Kitchener, Invader, and Intruder were generally basing their compositions on older songs from the docks and fields. And the overwhelming popularity of the genre was such that songs that had originally been 4/4 folk songs were re-cast in the 6/8 calypso rhythm, songs like "Bay of Mexico" for example - or "Pay Me My Money Down."
However old "Pay Me My Money Down" may be, it was first "collected" for publication from dock workers in the Georgia Sea Islands in 1942 by Lydia Parrish, but it must have emigrated to the Caribbean well before that because it was being performed on radio by Lord Kitchener by 1946. Kitchener's lyrics differ somewhat from those published by Parrish, but the basic storyline of a somewhat comical and ill-fated adventure at sea of a roguish working stiff is common to both.
My favorite version of "Pay Me" currently available is the solo effort from 2008 by Bob Shane, the last man standing of the original Kingston Trio, a group whose repertoire in its earliest days and its very name evolved from the '50s calypso craze:
This is classic calypso rhythm and instrumentation, at least as those came into mainstream American pop. Belafonte's recordings often also included steel drums and brass instruments, but the "folk" nature of the genre is on display here more effectively.
Fifty years before that recording, Shane's Kingston Trio was rehearsing the number and testing it out on audiences at San Francisco's Purple Onion nightclub:
A more refined version of the song by the Trio appeared on the CD release of the group's Stereo Concert album, but I prefer the wild energy of this early cut.
The song resurfaced in pop music with Bruce Springsteen's 2006 album and tour that the Boss called "The Seeger Sessions" because the repertoire consisted of largely re-imagined American folk tunes that had been recorded fifty years early by Seeger, or rather in most cases by Seeger's Weavers. While YouTube includes a number of uploads of Springsteen's live version from the tour, I prefer this folkier promo video from 2005:
Springsteen's comments after the song are worth a listen as well - I find his extolling of acoustic instruments somehow amusing. But this cut, which the Boss used to open many of the shows, demonstrates I think Springsteen at his best with this folk material. I thought that the Seeger experiment was a mixed bag: Bruce's attempts at Anglo-American songs fell flat for me, but the spirituals and other African-American songs like this succeeded. Love that touch of zydeco as well.
More recently - a couple of weeks ago, in fact - an Irish folk supergroup consisting of contemporary singers Paul Kelly, Mick Hanly, Eleanor Shanley, Séamus Begley and Frankie Lane and calling themselves "Folk The Recession" posted this Springsteen-influenced version on YouTube:
And continuing with the European flavor - Sweden's young soloist Alexandra Jardvall gets her audience singing along in 2010:
I wish that folks would leave Bruce's off-tempo syncopation to Bruce alone - but I can't complain too much because I have a weakness for throaty alto voices like Jardvall's.
You can trundle around YouTube and find fifty more people channeling Springsteen, and that's fine. As a closer here, though, I thought it would be interesting and fun to include the pop-song hit "Cindy, Oh Cindy" by Vince Martin - the melody will be instantly recognizable as a rewritten version of "Pay Me":
The group backing Martin is none other than The Tarriers, one of the few pre-KT groups to have an actual acoustic folk hit, the calypso "Marianne."
"Pay Me My Money Down" is a two-chord song and consequently is one of the first songs that a number of my guitar playing friends ever learned (mine was "Good News). In folk music, such simplicity is a virtue, and I think that may be what Bruce Springsteen is trying to get at in his comments after his performance of the song in the video above. Elaborate arrangements are what people quite rightly pay to see and hear - but what keeps a song alive is its sing-ability, and "Pay Me My Money Down" certainly has that.
Addendum - May 12, 2012
I'm delighted to have the comment below from "Ranzo" (fine sea chantey name that is), who is Hulton Clint. Hulton has created a YouTube channel dedicated to his renditions of and comments on "chanteys of the seven seas," and his total video view are just under 2 million. Hulton has himself an extended discussion of the nature and history of "Pay Me" on his YouTube upload of the original version of the song HERE, and I'm delighted to present his video below. Thanks, Hulton!
And Further - May 22, 2012
I had intended to include this version of "Hey Li Lee Li Lee" in the article above because it is essentially the same song as "Pay Me." This is a trademark Limeliters number from 1961, featuring a their typically slightly naughty lyric and excellent audience participation:

"Pay Me the Money Down" was documented as a chanty, as in the case of the St. Simon's Island (Georgia) singers. I've created a rendition of what might be a more 'original' form.
The Georgia Sea Island singers' recording was taken up by folk revival singers. To me, what is most notable about that transference is how the later group gave it a syncopated feel--not present in the Georgia singers' rendition, and not present in the chanty form I'm singing. In other words, that type of syncopation was not appropriate to work songs of this type.

Hello Hulton Clint - Delighted to hear from you - I have followed your YouTube postings for some time now, and I believe I may have used one or more of your videos in one or another article here - maybe "Bay of Mexico," where I made the same point you do above, that 4/4 chanteys often got transposed into 6/8 calypsos.
I don't think that I would go so far as to say not appropriate - I'd reserve that for something like taking "All My Trials" and turning it into a 1950s pop love ballad "All My Sorrows," which I discuss in my article on the song. Georgia work song becoming Jamaican calypso is something that we might just chalk up to the folk process.
Even so, I will be delighted to add your version (which I had heard some months ago on YT but had not remembered) at the end of the article.
Thanks again for stopping by, and I look forward to more of your videos.

Hey, Jim
To clarify: I didn't mean to imply that the adaptations or reinterpretations, etc. were inappropriate. I just meant that the syncopated rhythm of the folk (and Springsteen, etc) versions does not fit a work song. A work action -- a pull on a rope -- is meant to occur on the word "pay" in the phrase "pay me my money down." (The action also would occur on the word "down.") This is the standard working procedure of chanties in this form. What the folk revival version does (and the Georgia island singers' version does not) is delay the rhythm of "pay" by one beat, throwing off the expected (expectation is necessary for coordination) timing of both "pay" and "down."
This change IIRC does not happen in the calypso version of "Bay of Mexico," where "round" and "Mex-" remain in their "properly" timed positions!

another great article-I remember buying the Belafonte calypso album, at the same time I was buying Leon Bibb, the Weavers, the KT, and all kinds of other folk music albums and enjoying the various sounds-
It strikes me that Cindy Oh Cindy catches the melancholy of these songs,

Hey Jim - delighted to see you still enjoy my little ramblings. You and I apparently have very similar tastes in folk music because I bought exactly the same artists. I've never figured out why Vince Martin was a one hit wonder because "Cindy" is a really fine pop recording.

Juneau Port of Call
Juneau, Alaska's capitol city stretching along a narrow strip
between mountains and the Gastineau Channel, is an unexpectedly
cosmopolitan port stop on Inside Passage cruises. Mountains and
stretches of wilderness cut off any land access to Juneau making it
very reliant on its cruise industry.
Juneau's best attractions lie in the scenery surrounding it; some of the best are longer excursions, but quick popular trips include riding Mount Roberts Tramway for an eagle's eye view of the city, or visiting nearby Mendenhall Glacier.
Several ships can dock at the terminal located just next to downtown. When the docks are full, which is often in peak season, ships anchor in the harbour and tender passengers in. The town can get incredibly crowded on days in the peak cruise season.
Tourist Kiosk
101 Egan Dr or at Davis Log Cabin Visitor Information Center on 134 Third Street
Tel: +1 (907) 586 2201
From the cruise docks, downtown Juneau is a short walk, although shuttle buses are available for nasty weather days. Taxis are also widely available which can take you as far as Mendenhall Glacier. Capitol Transit, the public bus system, traverses the town regularly.
Most cruisers jump into the scenery as fast as possible, either on the tram ride up Mount Roberts from downtown Juneau, or take a quick ride out of town to Mendenhall Glacier, which is Alaska's most popular sight. Places close to town include a great salmon hatchery, an Alaska State Museum and tours of the famous Alaska Brewing Company. Great hikes in Glacier Gardens, river trips and gold panning excursions are just out of downtown.
Red Dog Saloon - Iconic restaurant and bar popular with cruisers
Tracy's King Crab Shack - best seafood in Juneau
Silverbow - The state's oldest bakery
Best Dish
Baked freshly caught wild salmon
There are many small souvenir shops near the cruise terminal. Downtown Franklin Street and Mendenhall Valley both are popular shopping districts both with tourist merchandise and boutique shops. Many art galleries are spread around town including great examples of Native American arts and crafts.
Best Buy
Smoked Salmon or small totem pole
River raft on any class of rapids
Trek the glaciers
Whale Watch up close on a rented boat
Zip through the rainforest in a canopy tour
Helicopter over the glaciers

Weekly HUMAN Wednesdays: The Storyteller
Performed by...
John Hurt
First appearance...
The Storyteller Episode 101: "Hans My Hedgehog" (1987)
Best known role...
Old man who spends his time in his castle telling stories with his Dog; former prisoner/storyteller to a king.
Friends and family...
The Dog, and a possible nameless wife (it's not clear if she was real or just part of a story)
The Storyteller is the person who is saved the best seat by the fire. Not that there's anyone else to hear his stories besides the viewer and The Dog (performed by Brian Henson). It's not always clear how he knows the stories, in some cases he heard the story from a friend, in other cases he was actually there when the story happened.
In "A Story Short" it is shown that The Storyteller was once a beggar, and he tricked the royal cook into cooking "Stone Soup" and upon realizing he was tricked, the cook brought the Storyteller to the King to be boiled in oil. The Storyteller pleads to the King, and the king agrees that if he tells a story every day for a year, he will be set free. During his time in the kingdom, he gets married. But on his last day he can't think of a story. That is until he gambles with a beggar and loses everything and goes on an adventure as a hare and a flea with the beggar. Eventually he wakes up and realizes it was a dream. He then tells the king that he has no story to tell due to his dream adventure. But the King states that it was the best story ever told. The Storyteller also appeared in "Hans My Hedgehog" as a royal tarot card reader and general entertainer for the king and his family.
It is unknown how the Storyteller and the Dog met, I like to think that the dog showed up at his castle asking for table scraps and the Storyteller was so impressed at his speaking ability that he let him stay forever. But in honesty not much is known about their history. The Storyteller takes care of the Dog, and the Dog is always interested in his stories, and even will jump in when the Storyteller "isn't telling it right."
A short lived series known as "The Storyteller: Greek Myths" also followed the same format; only with a different Storyteller played by Michael Gambon (best known as Albus Dumbledore). He seems to be more adventurous in that he and the dog go exploring in the places where the stories took place. But he lacks the same sense of humor.
If you can't figure this out by yourself... well, you should probably just watch The StoryTeller then.
The Muppet Mindset by Ryan Dosier, email@example.com
1 comment:
The Storyteller had such an influence on me as a child, feeding my obsession with folklore and sharing stories.ReplyDelete
As an adult I've finally admitted that just writing and collecting stories is not enough and after one particularly motivating viewing of The Storyteller I signed up public speaking classes, then to the Melbourne Fringe Festival with my own storytelling show (with music and puppetry...sound familiar?). Now I'm getting opportunities to tell stories at all sorts of events popping up all over the place.
So I guess I have a lot to thank The Storyteller for.

Michigan guard Nik Stauskas is undeniably a shooter, and the Charlotte Hornets undeniably need shooters.
Still, Stauskas is quick to say he's a lot more than a shooter.
"I think throughout this (past) season I proved I can be a lot more than that. I think people are recognizing that," the 6-foot-6 Stauskas said after working out for the Hornets Wednesday. "I've been a little pigeonholed with that label, but it's OK. I'll keep proving people wrong."
Stauskas radiates self-confidence. This was his first workout for an NBA team. A previous audition with the Los Angeles Lakers was postponed by a shoulder injury. He said he was nervous at first, but Hornets coach Steve Clifford said he performed well.

"He's an NBA player," Clifford said. "Very good and very skilled. I think he's more than a shooter. He can play in the pick-and-roll, and the big thing to me is he has NBA size, which is a big deal, especially (with) the (playoff) games that you're watching now, that you've been watching for the last month.
"You have to have size. He has really good size."
And a jump shot. Stauskas made 44 percent from the college 3-point line in his two seasons at Michigan.
The Hornets were bottom-third in the NBA last season in points, field-goal percentage, free-throw percentage and 3-point percentage. Stauskas averaged 17.5 points last season and shot 47 percent from the field and 82 percent from the foul line.
"Immediately, I can come in and stretch the floor," Stauskas said. "I know with Kemba (Walker) here and Al Jefferson down low I could be a great guy to space the floor and knock down shots for this team."
Stauskas was more a spot-up shooter his freshman season. Then point guard Trey Burke left the Wolverines for the NBA and Stauskas evolved into more of a playmaker and driver.
"I had a lot more responsibility handling the ball and creating for the rest of our team," said Stauskas, who was Big 10 Player of the Year.
"When I'm in the ball screen, I'm at my best. I'm really creative, I have a high basketball IQ and I'm unselfish – I like creating plays for other guys. And I can knock down shots.
"I got to the free throw line a lot, driving and hitting."
Stauskas drew some scrutiny at the NBA combine when his body fat was measured at 12 percent, fourth-highest among draft prospects examined. Stauskas said he's certainly not overweight at 6-6 and 205 pounds.
"I don't know if it's a lack of lean muscle or what. I don't think I'm fat; I think I'm skinny," Stauskas said. "Maybe it's baby fat, but in these workouts teams are going to see the way I move. I'll surprise them with my athleticism."
Stauskas, from Ontario, is one of at least three Canadians projected as first-round picks in the June 26 draft: Kansas forward Andrew Wiggins could be top-3 and Syracuse point guard Tyler Ennis figures to go in the second half of the first round. Another Canadian, Anthony Bennett, was the No. 1 overall pick a year ago with Cleveland.
Stauskas does his research; he showed up Wednesday in Hornets-themed teal sneakers. And he's confident he'll be selected in the lottery portion of the draft. He intends to work out for only four teams: The Boston Celtics with the sixth pick, the Lakers with the seventh, the Hornets at No. 9 and the Phoenix Suns at No. 14.
Clifford's veteran expectation: The Hornets had at least five veterans working out Wednesday: Center Al Jefferson, shooting guard Gary Neal, point guard Kemba Walker and small forwards Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Jeff Taylor.
None of them were obligated to be there, but it's become the norm since Clifford became coach a year ago. He has let the players know that's his expectation.
"This is the way it has always been in the places I have been in. I don't think it's common throughout the league," Clifford said.
"To really get better, they should be here with us. They should be here because our coaches know them better; they know what they should be working on."
Some players instead leave town and hire personal trainers or outside coaches to tutor them in the summer. Clifford doesn't see that as matching what the staff provides.
"A lot of guys will give them good workouts, but (they're) not going to be able to say to any of these guys all the time, 'You've got to go a little harder. You need to do this, you need to do that.'
"I also think they need to take advantage of (strength and conditioning coach) Matt Friia, who is excellent. They can't do that unless they're here in Charlotte. They know that that's how I feel. I think it's great they're here and I also think it's where they should be."
Next workout: The Hornets have scheduled six more draft prospects for Thursday: Jordan Bachynski, Arizona State; Justin Jackson, Cincinnati, Alex Kirk, New Mexico; Daniel Miller, Georgia Tech; Dwight Powell, Stanford and D.J. Shelton, Washington State.

How much did iOS users want Google Maps back on their mobile device? Ten-million-downloads-in-the-first-two-days, that's how much.
The much-missed app returned to iOS after a three-month absence following Apple's decision to replace it with its own Maps software when it rolled out iOS 6.
We knew the free Google Maps app was doing well in the download department, zooming straight to number one in the iTunes download chart almost immediately upon its release last week.
Jeff Huber, Google's senior vice president of commerce and local, revealed the 10-million figure in a Google+ post on Monday.
"We're excited for the positive reception of Google Maps for iPhone around the world," Huber wrote underneath the heading: "More than 10 million downloads in less than 48 hours after release!"
He added, "Congratulations to the Maps Team on the recognition for the passion and hard work they poured into it, for this release and over the last 7+ years."
While it should be pointed out that 10 million is in fact a rather small percentage of the total number of iOS users, phenomenally fast take-up like that is certainly nothing to scoff at and gives us some indication as to how keen iPhone users are to get Google's map app back on their devices.
The new app comes with features such as public transit directions, live traffic information, voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation and Street View. While iPad users can run the software on their tablets, an iPad-specific version is said to be in the works.
If Apple Maps had been up to scratch when it launched back in September, it's possible Google Maps wouldn't have even got 10 downloads last week, let alone 10 million. The Cupertino company's software, however, was heavily ridiculed for misplacing locations, offering up erroneous travel directions and lacking features found on Google Maps. The mess even prompted Apple boss Tim Cook to issue a letter of apology to users.

How and why do countries vary so much in their use of health services?
I've been struck recently by how little we (or at least I) seem to know about variations in use of health services across the world, and what drives them. Do people in, say, India or Mali use doctors "a lot" or "a little". Even harder: do they "overuse" or "underuse" doctors? At least we could say whether doctor utilization rates in these countries are low or high compared to the rate for the developing world as a whole. But typically we don't actually make such comparisons – we don't have the numbers at our fingertips. Or at least I don't.
I'm also struck by how strongly people feel about the factors that shape people's use of services and what the consequences are. There are some who argue that the health problems in the developing world stem from people not getting care, and that people don't get care because of shortages of doctors and infrastructure. There are others who argue that doctors are in fact quite plentiful – in principle; the problem is that in practice doctors are often absent from their clinic and people don't get care at the right moment. There are others who argue that doctors are plentiful even in practice and people do get care; the problem is that the quality of the care is shockingly bad. Who's right?

Brother Burglar
Rosalie is the only being in the house to perceive the truth. "She covets." I spoke out loud, letting everyone hear what I had long recognized.#2 in the Oneshot Cullen Challenge!
After thinking about this for a long, long while, I finally came up with something to write. I first tried Carlisle's POV, and then Esme's, but both just came out utterly boring. So I settled for Rosalie. I'm aware of the shortness and oddity of the story. I simply couldn't be bothered to re-type every conversation Bella and Edward had at the house. That would have been silly and completely unnecessary, anyway.
1. Brother Burglar
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 1364 Review this Chapter
It was unfair.
More than unfair – Edward was being utterly cruel. He knew well enough how this new family member made me feel, yet he chose to torment me.
Had I not always been a good sister? I had respected his longing for privacy, let him read my mind, been fairly friendly, and eventually even grown to like him. Where was this sudden hostility coming from?
What right did he have to bring her home?
This was our sanctuary, the only place on earth where we could be what we were. Our concealed bubble for those cursed in the human-dominated world. The Cullen mansion was a place for vampires.
And she was human.
I could smell her floral scent from downstairs, feel the call of blood crawl up my nostrils. It was inviting me to taste its warm composition of sweetness…
The ultimate revenge on the brother who'd deceived me - I should drink this pathetic human dry of the blood that so enticed him.
From somewhere downstairs, a hushed growl reached my ears, along with the sugar sweet voice of my younger sister. "You do smell nice, I never noticed before."
Hilarious. The call of her blood was strong, no doubt – But so was every human being's. Edward had exaggerated greatly with his description of the overwhelming fragrance of Bella's life nectar. It was no more special than everything else about her.
Bella. Who could give such a name to someone so undeserving? Beautiful. Isabella Swan was no more beautiful than anyone else in Forks. I was beautiful. I would do the name justice.
A new voice was distinguishable from the living room – Jasper was now greeting the newcomer. In my scorn, I imagined him losing control while being with her. How would Edward react if his own brother was the cause of his precious Bella's death? Would he ever learn to forgive that act?
Jasper was making a big effort. Another reason for why Edward was being unjust – Home had been the only safe place for my newest brother, the only place where his lack of self-control didn't bother him continuously. Now Bella had arrived, and Jasper had lost his refuge.
You egoistic, pitiless MONSTER!
I knew he was listening. He was always listening. Always intruding on the privacy of those around him, taking in their personal thoughts that were never meant for his ears. Already there my dear brother showed his true colors, his selfishness.
How long would it take for the girl to notice the monster she was in love with?
In love. Pah! Humans knew nothing of love.
A scornful smile spread across my flawless lips.
She knew nothing. Nothing at all.
"Are you not going to say hello to Bella, dearest?" Emmett noticed the shift in my expression, and laid his large hand over my cheek. "Everyone else is there."
Et tu, Brute? "No."
He furrowed his brows, but said nothing more.
I could see the longing in his eyes – My traitor for a husband truly wished to meet this human girl. He was contemplating joining the rest of the family downstairs, greeting the intruder that we had joyfully opened our doors for.
On one side, he wished to meet her. On the other, he was afraid of my reaction.
And I was losing the battle unless I took action.
"You can go, if you really want to." I kept my voice detached, cold, while snatching his hand away from my face.
"Rose…" Emmett took my wrists and drew me closer to his equally cold body.
"No, really. Just leave me alone if you want to see Bella. I understand."
"I'm not going anywhere." he said, and then lightly kissed me on the forehead. I closed my eyes at the sensation of his wet lips against my granite skin. Marble on marble, ice on ice.
I let Emmett cradle me, while simultaneously loathing the manipulative tone in my voice. I was being unjust and cruel towards the only man who still stood at my side, now that the others had crossed to the enemy's troops. Instead of rewarding him for his loving loyalty, I was punishing him with my behavior.
Perhaps I was too tenacious, after all. Maybe I was being too harsh.
My for once kind thoughts vanished when the sound of music began drifting from downstairs.
Edward was playing for his toy, and by the sound of her increasing heartbeat, I could tell it was the first time she was listening.
The perfect harmony of the tune brought me to my past. The notes melted into each other; the keys were pressed down with obsessive care and enjoyment, just like every evening at the Cullen manor. Emmett and I lay in bed, kissing each other and taking pleasure in the simple fact of having one another, while every other couple did the same. Alice had Jasper, Carlisle had Esme.
And Edward had his music.
But now his flawless playing was different.
Though the notes hadn't changed from the last time I'd heard them, there was a new passion, a new vigor in the melody. It flowed more naturally, more freely than ever before, and I could almost sense his elation as he played Esme's favorite.
And then the notes shifted into another composition.
I vaguely remembered this song – Had Edward not composed it after his first meeting with the girl who now filled the house with her scent? Hadn't he called this… her lullaby?
"You inspired this one." My suspicions were confirmed.
A trace of a salty aroma filled my nostrils.
A tear?
I then noticed why Edward's music had changed.
It wasn't the main thing in his life anymore. Music was a trivial matter beside his newly found love.
"This is so wrong." I whispered in my agony. Emmett tightened his hold.
"He's happy now."
"But she took away his music, don't you see?"
"No, love – She replaced it."
I wiped away the tear that should have appeared on my cheek.
He showed her everything.
Each new room they visited, each new detail of our lives that he revealed to her wounded me deeper.
Blow after blow.
She showed herself curious, fascinated by our true identities. Did she not see how dreary our lives were? Did she not perceive the darkness that hung over our house?
Did she not understand?
Make her understand!
No matter how many times I repeated my plea, Edward never took any notice. I began questioning if he was listening, after all, but quickly erased that thought from my mind. He was always listening, always.
I know you're listening.
And suddenly – A growl broke the deep silence of the house. A gasp. Frantic breathing.
My hopes were raised too early. No, here came her voice – "That you are a very, very terrifying monster."
Ah, I see. You made her understand.
They had invited her to our baseball game.
Had all my torment in the last few hours not been enough? Was it their general wish to torture me?
"How could they?" I whispered into Emmett's arm, the only thing soothing me in my pain.
Bella was taking away my family, my home… and now my fun? She was ripping away everything that had ever meant something to me. And what did it leave me – The leftovers?
"Rose, please. It's all right. Bella's not a bad person."
And because I loathed her, I was a bad person?
The upcoming storm wouldn't bring the only thunder my family would hear.
"She's ruining everything."
How was that fair, in any way? Isabella Swan had everything – A family, a good base to start a life on, a beating heart… Yet she coveted from those who had nothing left.
"Vampires like baseball?" she asked innocently from the distant room.
"It's the American pastime," my brother mocked our hobbies.
So now that he had his human, he was better than the monsters he lived with?
Well, let me tell you – Your girlfriend is a monster, too.
We were demons, yet we struggled to be good. Bella was an angel, yet her actions were for the cursed.
She covets.
What had she taken?
Our sanctuary.
My brother's music.
The hours of fun my family shared.
My peace of mind.
"She covets." I spoke out loud, letting everyone in the house hear what I had long recognized.
They'd all heard me; my whole family was now in possession of the truth.
"I have to get home. Charlie is probably worried about me already."
All but one.
The human heartbeat grew fainter.
Why ruin it all - For you and for me?
Never covet from vampires, my dear.
