Four Foods on Friday #113
This week's meme was actually for last week, but since I didn't participate last week, I'm doing it now. I figure, better late than never!
If you would like to participate in Four Foods on Friday just clink the link and leave val a comment after you've created your own post!
This week's question is very simple:
What can you make with eggs, meat or poultry, vegetables and a starch?
Well, I'm thinking one of the quick meals from Bisquick. This is the recipe for Impossible Chicken Pot Pie.
1 2/3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup cut-up cooked chicken
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup Original Bisquick® mix
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
Heat oven to 400ºF. Mix vegetables, chicken and soup in ungreased glass pie plate, 9×1 1/4 inches.
Stir together remaining ingredients with fork until blended. Pour into pie plate.
Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown.
I love the Bisquick recipes, they're so simple, quick and taste good!

Restorations - Restore to Fly
Many of our customers have unique antique and classic aircraft that have been damaged or are in need of repairs to return them to flyable condition. And some aircraft projects are basket cases with dreams of flying. As with our Conservation and Preservation customers we work to return these aircraft to flight using authentic materials and techniques. The only exceptions to this are safety and, of course, customer preferences.
Mitsubishi A6M3 Type 22 Zero
Our most recent restoration project was for Flying Heritage Collection, Everett, WA. Their Zero was recovered from Babo Island, Indonesia and taken to Russia for restoration from 1994-1997. It was then purchased by FHC and restoration continued at Chino, CA where it was converted to a two place airframe. From September 2010 to April 2012 Century Aviation completed the restoration of the fuselage, wings and tail surfaces and reassembly of the aircraft. We also assisted in run ups and flight tests. On April 21, 2012 she flew from Pangborn Airport to her home, Paine Field, and is now on display, and flying, at Flying Heritage Collection.

Catching up? Or Showing off?July 5th, 2013
I don't know why most of the time when catching up with old friends, will turn out to be like showing off to each other. "I just bought a new car!", "I just got increment/bonus", "My kids are so smart in studies".. blah blah blah..
Maybe because we are so happy to meet each other, therefore we only want to talk about the happy stuff? Or maybe we scared our friends will look down on us? Or we simply just like to show off?
As for me, meeting up with friends mostly is to talk about the olden days. If you think your friends will look down on you if you are not doing so well, then this friend of yours most probably is not your friend.
So, just be yourself! Be sincere!

Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt — At a time when most Nigerians are relieved that the country has only one confirmed case of the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), a new death and 70 suspected cases were Thursday confirmed in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
At a press conference in Abuja Thursday, the Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, said the dead person was a medical doctor who treated one of the surviving primary contacts with the index case, Mr. Patrick Sawyer, who defected to Port Harcourt.
According to Chukwu, the doctor's widow is now down with the virus and has been placed under quarantine. Chukwu also said that 70 persons that had primary contact with the doctor, who died on August 22, 2014, the widow and the surviving primary contact had now been placed under surveillance.
The Guardian's investigation revealed that the dead doctor, Dr. Ike Sam Enemuo, allegedly contracted the virus from an Ebola patient he treated secretly.
The reported death of Enemuo due to Ebola virus triggered panic yesterday at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) where his body was said to be in the morgue.
The Guardian learnt that the surviving primary contact that infected the dead Port Harcourt doctor was an official of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) who had contact with the late Sawyer during his infamous trip to Nigeria.
The surviving primary contact was said to be on the surveillance list. But he allegedly escaped surveillance officials in Lagos and headed to Port Harcourt where he approached a private doctor for treatment. The doctor in question allegedly did not report the case to the national management team, but successfully managed the case.
It is not clear if the doctor knew that the ECOWAS official was infected with Ebola before or during the treatment. But rigorous tests, according to government, confirm that the ECOWAS official had the virus but has recovered.
According to the minister, the total number of deaths from EVD in Nigeria, therefore, is now six, the index case (Sawyer), the four primary contacts who died in the isolation ward in Lagos, and a doctor who died in Port Harcourt whose blood sample tested positive after death. "Also, 70 persons have been placed under surveillance in Port Harcourt," he said.
The suspected cases of the nurse who escaped to Enugu are likely going to be discharged today after spending the mandatory 21 days without symptoms.
Chukwu said the total number of cases of EVD cases so far reported in Nigeria stands at 15. A breakdown shows: The total number of cases treated at the isolation ward is 13; the total number of those discharged is seven; the total number of deaths from those treated in Lagos is five; and the total number currently under treatment is one, and the person is stable and improving clinically.
With regard to Enugu, the minister said all secondary contacts would be followed up till tomorrow (today) when they are all expected to be discharged from surveillance.
Chukwu said the Incident Management Committee had already deployed a very strong team in Port Harcourt to work with the health authorities of Rivers State. He said as the situation had effectively been managed in Lagos and Enugu, that in Port Harcourt would also be effectively managed and they had begun to do so.
The consultant surgeon charged the residents of Port Harcourt not to panic over this situation as the experience gathered from Lagos and Enugu respectively indicated that there was no cause for alarm.
Besides, the World Health Organisation (WHO) yesterday issued a roadmap to scale up international response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
The WHO in a statement said the aim was to stop ongoing Ebola transmission worldwide within six to nine months, while rapidly managing the consequences of any further international spread. It also recognises the need to address, in parallel, the outbreak's broader socioeconomic impact.
Researchers said yesterday that safety trials on an Ebola vaccine were being fast-tracked, meaning it could be given to healthy volunteers from Britain, Gambia and Mali as early as September.
Researchers hope the trials could finish by the end of 2014. If they are successful, the vaccine could then be given to people infected with Ebola, which is spread through bodily fluids.
The move was announced by pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), which is developing the vaccine with the United States National Institute of Health (NIH), and London-based medical charity Wellcome Trust, which is contributing to a grant to pay for the trials.
The minister explained: "You will notice that the number of cases has increased from 13 to 15. You will also notice that this additional two were not treated in the isolation ward in Lagos. One of them is a primary contact of the index case (Mr. Patrick Sawyer). Even though presently he does not have EVD but further laboratory tests indicate that he had suffered EVD.
"This primary contact of Mr. Sawyer's evaded our surveillance team in the last week of July 2014 and travelled out of Lagos to Port Harcourt where, as we now understand, he consulted with a doctor and was apparently treated for some symptoms. After four days, following a manhunt for him, he returned to Lagos by which time he was found to be without symptoms.
"This case would have been of no further interest since he had completed the 21 days of surveillance without any other issue, but for the fact that the doctor who treated him died last Friday, 22nd August, 2014.
"Following the report of this death by the doctor's widow the next day, the case had been thoroughly investigated and laboratory analysis showed that this doctor died from EVD. As a result, several contacts have now been traced, registered and placed under surveillance. However, because the widow is now symptomatic, she has been quarantined pending the outcome of laboratory tests on her."
As part of precautionary measure to curb the spread of the dreaded diseases, the Rivers State government yesterday said it had placed no fewer than 100 persons under surveillance. The government, however, refused to reveal the location of the isolation centres and the hotel where the man who brought the virus to the state stayed.
Though there had been a speculation in the past two weeks that an Ebola patient fled to Port Harcourt, it was yesterday that the Rivers State Commissioner of Health, Dr. Sampson Parker, specifically acknowledged the death of Enemuo from Ebola virus disease. The late doctor was said to be the owner of a private hospital at Rumuokoro in Port Harcourt.
"The Governor of Rivers State, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has directed me to make this solemn announcement to you. And it is with a heavy heart that I announce to you that the Ebola virus has claimed its first victim in Rivers State. Dr. Iyke Sam Enemuo died last week Friday, August 22, 2014 as a result of what was suspected to be Ebola virus disease," he said.
Parker told journalists at his residence in Port Harcourt that the Rivers State Ministry of Health on becoming aware of the condition of Enemuo's death, immediately commenced investigations and contact tracing. According to him, about 100 contacts from a hotel, patients of Enemuo and patients of the hospital where the late Enemuo was treated until his demise, have been identified and restricted in Rivers State and that locations are being decontaminated.
Parker said: "From our investigations some facts have emerged. An official of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on the team that received the late Dr. Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian American diplomat who died of Ebola haemorrhagic disease in Lagos, Nigeria made a trip to Port Harcourt where he checked into a hotel and met with Dr. Iyke Sam Enemuo. About a week after his departure, Dr. Iyke Enemuo took ill and was rushed to a hospital where he presented symptoms of fever, diarrhea and vomiting. In the course of treatment, the managing physician became suspicious and took samples for investigation.
"A few days after, Dr. Iyke Enemuo died on August 22, 2014. His body was deposited at a mortuary in Port Harcourt. Dr. Iyke Enemuo's widow, who is also a medical doctor and who cared for him during his illness has taken ill. She is being quarantined. A few hours ago, results of the test carried out on samples taken from Dr. Enemuo came back and were positive of Ebola viral disease. The diplomat who was seen by the late Dr. Iyke Enemuo is alive and well.
"I urge every Rivers State citizen and resident to remain calm and go about their normal businesses. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water and avoid unnecessary body contacts till further notice."
He explained that the government of Rivers State was doing everything possible to contain the effects and spread of the Ebola virus. As part of the preparation to curb the spread, the commissioner said all the material and human resources needed to fight and defeat the deadly virus were available.
According to him, officials of the Federal Ministry of Health and other international agencies are already in the state working with the state ministry of health.
A health worker close to the wife of the late Enemuo, and who pleaded anonymity told The Guardian that she had been suffering high fever and was at home and not at a quarantine centre. According to him, the woman who is a doctor at UPTH radiology department, and nursing a three-month-old child was contemplating hiring a private ambulance to convey her to Lagos where she intended to seek medical assistance.
"When I spoke to her this morning she complained of high fever. She told me that she had called the Ebola emergency personnel to come and quarantine her family but to no avail. I understand she took care of him while he was sick. In fact, she was also making effort to get an ambulance to take her to Lagos for treatment. When her husband died, several persons visited their house where she was still staying to condole with her. They might all be at risk now as well," he said.
A source at the UPTH disclosed to The Guardian that the report that Enumou's body had been deposited in UPTH morgue had created tension as staff were not informed. He said even the morticians that handled the body of Enemuo were still moving freely and probably spreading the virus.
At the state-owned Braithwaite Memorial Specialist Hospital in Port Harcourt, health workers have started screening patients seeking medical assistance for symptoms of Ebola.
The WHO statement reads: "It responds to the urgent need to dramatically scale up the international response. Nearly 40 per cent of the total number of reported cases have occurred within the past three weeks.
"The roadmap was informed by comments received from a large number of partners, including health officials in the affected countries, the African Union, development banks, other UN agencies, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and countries providing direct financial support.
"It will serve as a framework for updating detailed operational plans. Priority is being given to needs for treatment and management centres, social mobilisation, and safe burials. These plans will be based on site-specific data that are being set out in regular situation reports, which will begin this week.
"The situation reports map the hotspots and hot zones, present epidemiological data showing how the outbreak is evolving over time, and communicate what is known about the location of treatment facilities and laboratories, together with data needed to support other elements of the roadmap.
"The roadmap covers the health dimensions of the international response. These dimensions include key potential bottlenecks requiring international coordination, such as the supply of personal protective equipment, disinfectants, and body bags.
"The WHO roadmap will be complemented by the development of a separate UN-wide operational platform that brings in the skills and capacities of other agencies, including assets in the areas of logistics and transportation. The UN-wide platform aims to facilitate the delivery of essential services, such as food and other provisions, water supply and sanitation, and primary health care.
"Resource flows to implement the roadmap will be tracked separately, with support from the World Bank."
The statement from GSK reads: "A candidate Ebola vaccine could be given to healthy volunteers in the UK, the Gambia and Mali as early as September, as part of a series of safety trials of potential vaccines."
A total of 3,062 cases have so far been reported but the WHO warned on Thursday that the caseload could eventually exceed 20,000.
The trials, which still need ethical and regulatory approval, will be funded by a £2.8 million (3.5 million euro, $4.6 million) grant from the Wellcome Trust, Britain's Medical Research Council (MRC) and the UK Department for International Development (DFID).
The Oxford study will involve 60 healthy volunteers, while those in the Gambia and Mali will each involve 40.
This will also allow GSK to make some 10,000 extra doses of the vaccine so that if the trials are successful, it could be made available to the WHO quickly.
Safety tests of the vaccine will take place at Oxford University alongside a U.S. trial run by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

|An Introduction to Designing User Interface Controls at SAP
By Gerd Waloszek, SAP AG, SAP User Experience – April 30, 2002
Hiding Information – Some Principles | The Wicked Art of Information Hiding | Final Word
These days a computer user can access a huge universe of information and functionality via a computer. But there is a bottleneck: the computer screen is only a "peephole" to this virtual world. Due to the limited space that it offers, the user can only see a fraction of the information that is potentially accessible, or needed for performing a specific task, at any one time. It is as if computer users suffer from "tunnel vision" and have to shift their gaze to gather all they need. (For an explanation of tunnel vision, see Vision and Visual Disabilities – An Introduction in the SAP Design Guild).
Let's compare that with accessing information from books. In a book, information is spread over many pages. The reader can only see one or two pages at a time and has to browse through the pages in order to access certain information. A table of contents, an index, and page numbers are mechanisms that help readers to find and access that information. A computer is a much more complex system than a book - so, information access and presentation mechanisms have to be far more sophisticated. Of course, this is not a new insight. From the first interactive computer systems on, developers have had to fight this visual bottleneck and invent numerous solutions to overcome it. This article and a second one analyze the situation and present some of the solutions that have been developed.
Let's start with some very general principles of how information and functionality can be hidden from the users' view and nevertheless made accessible. In the second article, I will present examples of how certain controls implement these principles.
One hiding principle is the "one for all" principle. That is, one item stands for a number of items that are currently hidden and can be made visible through a user action.
There are two variants of the "representative" item: (1) a category name, and (2) the current choice.
Pulldown menus are a typical example of a category label representing a set of functions. We all know the menu titles "File", "Edit", "Help" etc. at the top of a window or screen (Macintosh). These are the standard categories that appear in any application. In addition, there are categories that are application-specific but serve the same purpose, namely telling the user that he or she can find a certain set of functions under that category label.
Figure 1: The label "Edit" serves as a category for the edit functions of an application; these functions are hidden from the user's view until he/she opens the pulldown menu
Other controls, though functioning very similarly, do not show a category or other label but the current choice. Examples of these are menu buttons and dropdown listboxes (see figure 2). In cases such as the dropdown listbox, the elements are described by an additional label.
Figure 2: Several dropdown listboxes in this floating window indicate current choices
A similar principle is the "one at a time" principle. A piece of information that is too large to be displayed as a whole, such as customer data, is split into several meaningful units, called views, that are given labels. The user is given the set of labels and one of the views is displayed.
A typical control following this principle is the tabstrip. A set of tabs describes the information chunks, while a title or label may describe the purpose of the tabstrip as a whole, if necessary.
Figure 4: This application uses tabstrips, even in floating toolbar windows for settings
An alternative to a tabstrip would be to present all the information on one large screen or page, so that users have to scroll down to access information. On a Web page, links to subunits would help users to access them faster.
Figure 4: This preferences dialog offers a view switching mechanism that is functionally equivalent to a tabstrip but better suited to many categories
Tip: A developer or user interface designer has to decide, which option is preferable in a particular context. In a classical template-oriented GUI application, a tabstrip may be appropriate, whereas for a paper-like form or a Web page, a long page that has to be scrolled may be the better choice.
"All or Nothing" is not just the name of the Small Faces hit record from the sixties, but also a principle for hiding information. The "nothing", however, is not quite accurate because there is usually an indicator that communicates to the user that something can be shown or hidden. This indicator can either be hidden itself inside a pulldown menu (the respective menu items are typically represented as toggle items) or by a text, icon, button, or combination of those elements.
For example, in the R/3 system toggle buttons are used to show or hide certain screen areas. Where the area is hidden, the button remains visible; it indicates that there is a group of screen elements that can be made visible if needed. Similarly, iViews contain a show/hide icon in their title bar, which allows you to "close" iViews and just keep the title bar on the page as an indicator of its presence. (In addition, users may remove iViews from a portal page by personalizing the page; in this case, the iView is removed completely from the screen.)
Figure 5: A toggle button in R/3 shows or hides the marketing plan details
One of the most frequently-followed hiding principles is to tell users nothing about a certain function or feature on the screen. This has the advantage that the screen is not cluttered with this information – it does not use up any real estate at least. But it has the obvious disadvantage that only those users who have knowledge or expectations (from their previous experience) will be able to find and access this information or functionality.
Strictly speaking most conventions, such as the double-click or the use of pulldown menus, are neither intuitive nor evident to new users. They cannot immediately start working without asking someone else or consulting a computer manual. However, most of these conventions are so easy to learn that users forget that they, too, had to learn them once. Other features, however, are not as evident and repeatedly lead to more cumbersome activity, disuse of features, or even severe interaction problems.
Drag-and-drop is one of these "hidden" features. Drag-and-drop means that users can move objects "physically" across the screen as if they were real-world objects. Thus, drag-and-drop is the "classical incarnation" of direct manipulation. Only a few systems indicate that this feature is available. Users mostly have to speculate from their previous experience with other systems and test, whether drag-and-drop is available and which objects are possible drop targets. (Sometimes highlighting objects or cursors indicates drop targets but then you have to move an object.)
Human beings always want to know where they are, where they came from, and where they are going (or can go) - they want to be oriented. This is due not least to the fact that we can only be physically in one point at one time. Moreover, we don't have a Roentgen vision that goes through walls to the borders of the universe. So, we have to be content with what we see and build a model of the rest of the world in our brains – our thoughts can wander around limitlessly. The same applies to computers: We only see what is on the screen – the huge "remainder" is hidden, and we have to create a mental model of it.
So, another hiding principle that I want to talk about is providing an onscreen orientation for users, telling them where they are, where they can go, and perhaps where they came from. And in some cases it may also be helpful to provide a useful model of the remainder of the virtual world "behind the scene."
The first item, the "here you are" information, is the simplest. Most of today's computer systems provide at least some indication of which program is running, which document is open, or which screen the user is on. Nevertheless, cases of "orientation loss" are frequent because users overlook those often-subtle indicators, such as a window title or a small program icon.
Figure 6: The title bar provides the title, file name, path, and type of the document, the name of the application, and even its icon. Few users will probably take notice of this.
The second item, the "where you can go" information, is usually communicated via buttons, menu items, or hyperlinks. Often these devices convey only vaguely what the users' options really are. For example, the consequences of taking such an option may be unclear. Moreover, if you take too many of those paths, you might get lost. The "lost in hyperspace" phenomenon describes this situation for hypertext systems, such as the Web.
Figure 7: The SAP Design Guild navigation bar tells visitors where they can go for information
If you don't know where to go, you may want to go back. But how do you know, where you came from? There are at least some indicators for this in most computer systems. In hierarchical systems, the computer can provide a path info like DOS does. Breadcrumbs, which are typically used in large information systems, Websites, and portals, may provide a fast backtrack through links in the path info.
Figure 8: DOS prompt with – not so deep – path information
Figure 9: This breadcrumb control offers links in the path info for easy backtrack
In contrast to the "structural" path info, a history list registers each of the user's moves "historically" and allows him or her to jump to any target within the list. Web browsers offer such history lists.
More explicitly – and now we are moving toward a model of the whole system structure – you can provide a structure of the system. The Explorer does this for the Windows file system; the Macintosh Finder is a similar system, which works a little bit differently. Documents often display a hierarchical table of contents to help users move around.
Figure 10: The Windows Explorer displays the file structure of a computer
Some systems only convey the structure of a single item, such as a document or Website (site map) while others attempt to provide a model of the whole computer system, such as the Explorer and Finder. The larger the system is to model, the more complex the model gets – and the greater the chance that only a few people will find it useful. On the other hand, attempts to base such models on "real-life" metaphors, such as books, houses, or cities, soon reach their limits. When systems become complex, real-life models may even hinder the understanding of the system instead of being useful.
In the preceding paragraph, I was talking more about what is visible than about what is hidden. But the visible and the invisible are always closely related. For example, sometimes we convey information by leaving certain things out – but these are special cases. Normally we set the focus by showing certain things and by hiding others. That is, we decide what is relevant and what can be left out. This accentuation corresponds to the foreground-background phenomenon in perception. By making things visible we push them into the foreground, while we push things to the background by hiding them or making them less prominent (for example, smaller, lighter).
Figure 11: The Necker cube is an example of ambivalent foreground and background information – the interpretation of this image shifts between two different views
And then, there is the phenomenon of noise. Noise is irrelevant information that should be in the background. But it can be so prominent that it disturbs or even masks the information in the foreground. Below, I present examples where bad visual or interface design increases the noise to such a high level that the information in the foreground is masked and thus hard to find.
Let's return to screen design. Up to this point I have discussed controls and techniques for hiding or showing information on a computer screen. Now I've raised an issue that demands that a screen designer actively decides what is relevant and what is not. In my experience, this is one of the hardest and toughest issues for user interface designers and developers. Such decisions require experience, knowledge of users and tasks, and understanding of the context in which a software product is used. Often this knowledge is hard to get. To attain it requires a user-centered design process with site visits, user involvement, and market research, as well as a good knowledge of the application area.
This principle is better known as "progressive disclosure". It has been introduced by Apple Computers and is, among other things, applied to the design of dialog boxes. Following this principle you provide users only with as much information, options, or fields as they typically need in the current usage context. More advanced or rarely used options are hidden, and can only be accessed by clicking buttons. Of course, designers need a good understanding of the typical or most often used options. If you offer the wrong choices, you may drive users crazy because you create additional work for them. For example, by forcing them to always click a button to get to the options they want to set, or to the fields they want to edit.
Now let's turn to the "dark" side of information hiding. In many cases, certain techniques or controls are overused or misused. Though these techniques certainly allow information or functionality to be hidden, they fail with respect to access. If users cannot access hidden objects, then these objects do not exist for them and they cannot make use of them. Other "techniques" of hiding information or functionality from users can be attributed to bad screen design or incorrect choice of terminology.
There is a disease called "tabstripitis." It is the tendency to put every piece of information inside a tabstrip. An even more serious form of this disease is the tendency to hide information inside nested tabstrips. Then the number of choices (or doors) for searching an item multiply, for example from ten to 10*10=100.
Figure 12: In this section, the tabstrip looks quite harmless – but look at the next figure...
As usability guidelines often prohibit the nesting of tabstrips, creative designers find other ways of "simulating" the effect of nested tabstrips. For example, the outer tabstrip is replaced by a set of buttons or links that switch the views. For users the effect is the same, even though they may not realize what has been offered to them right away...
Figure 13: A "hidden" nested tabstrip – the three buttons with icons create an "outer" view switching mechanism
There is an old saying that the best way to hide information is to paste it on a door at eye level. Similarly, we often find that users do not carefully scan the screen for information and often overlook what they are desperately trying to find. You can enhance this effect by overcrowding and cluttering a screen so that relevant information does not "stand out".
Using "crazy" color combinations for foreground (text) and background, low contrast, or hard to read fonts (or too small font sizes) also helps to hide information from users. This can be made even more effective by adding distracting information, such as blinking text or animation, that pulls the users' attention away from the relevant information to useless diversions.
But what if users find the information or function in spite of all the obstacles that they had to overcome? Then the best way from keeping them from using it is for the interface to talk to them in an unfamiliar language. Technical, uncommon, or very abstract jargon are perfect "languages" for this purpose.
So, after all those "dos" and "don'ts" let's get to work. The second article on the "art of hiding" will present examples that demonstrate techniques, and the proper use of controls for hiding information and functionality.

Like many trumpeters, John McNeil has a unique brand above his upper lip where flesh meets metal. It looks like a setting sun, and was visible from up close, as he removed his instrument from his mouth, rose steadily from his stool, and grasped the microphone.
"This is the part of any jazz gig where the band plays a blues and one of us talks over it. That's how you know it's jazz…I think," said McNeil, 60, to the audience spread out on the lawn before the gothic Connecticut State Capitol in Hartford. McNeil's voice was deep and rich, like a morning-drive deejay's. "Our drummer, Jochen Rueckert, just flew in from Germany where he lives in his ancestral castle…He
has people killed for his amusement," he said, deadpanning.
Typically droll and self-deprecating, McNeil reaches for humor, often of the dark sort, whenever possible. (Recovering in the hospital recently from a staph infection that only a single type of antibiotic
could kill, he said, "It's showing signs of becoming totally drug resistant, at which point it'll be like the 19th century, like, 'Bye.'") But beneath his conviviality lurk strains of disharmony.
McNeil is struggling. He always has.
"Rediscovery," his latest recording, doesn't show it. New York Times critic Ben Ratliff called his recent playing "astonishing in its harmonic acuity." This wasn't always the case, and not for lack of
talent or skill. McNeil has Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a painful genetic disorder of the peripheral nerves that affects muscle control.
As if concocted to beset trumpet players, the degenerative condition has, among other complications, attacked his diaphragm, integral to blowing air through the horn; his facial muscles, which help produce
tone and timbre; his tongue, which controls articulation; and his fingers, needed to work the trumpet's valves. The recurrence of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease — it comes in waves — has forced McNeil
to quit playing altogether several times since he came on the jazz scene in the mid-1970s. At times, he's had to use a laundry rack to support his trumpet while practicing. He had a dental bridge built to
refocus his embouchure. He learned to play with his left hand, to give him an alternative when his right hand won't cooperate. And in an art that prizes timing, the degeneration of his reflexes has demanded
he play slightly early so the notes arrive on time.
Now, his performing career is on the upswing again. But he remains on guard, because as long as he can remember, his body and his soul have been enemies.
Some, though, just know him as a master of the music.
"The thing about John is that you can't separate his personality from his musicianship. He's extremely funny and witty, and as a musician he's an exemplary, studied cat. He's a great teacher, somebody who
can communicate, perform, and hand it down to others," said David Liebman, 62, the renowned saxophonist with whom McNeil worked in the 1980s, in a phone interview. "He is unheralded, unrecognized, in the trenches taking care of business, constantly growing. He deserves
any kind of recognition that he gets."
Liebman was unaware that the night before they were to record McNeil's 1983 live album, "The Things We Did Last Summer," the trumpeter was suddenly unable to move the fingers of his right hand, or to get enough air through the horn to produce a clear tone. According to McNeil, he scuffled through that concert, but soon after decided to take a hiatus from recording and performing to fight the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. He couldn't afford to sound bad. It was a battle he'd long
been familiar with.
"I might ramble, it's the drugs talking," said McNeil, as he sat down for coffee near his apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn. He takes daily doses of Oxycodone for pain (Oxycontin is the time-release version of
the same drug: "When I need it, I need it now," he said). Over the years, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease has attacked his body from so many directions that it has left him with the posture of someone frozen in
a dance to unheard music.
McNeil was born in 1948, in Yreka, Calif., in the shadow of Mount Shasta. When he was found to have problems with his legs as a toddler, it was assumed he had muscular dystrophy like his disabled uncle. McNeil's father, a grocer and the town's mayor, had already lost his first son, Daniel, to cystic fibrosis. He
encouraged McNeil, who could hardly grasp a pen, and lived for years in various braces for his legs and twisted spine, to fight the disease.
"Back then doctors expected you to live only to twelve or thirteen," said McNeil, passing the crooked fingers of his left hand over half-shuttered eyes and a white goatee. "The attitude was, 'Don't
worry about it, you're not going to be around.'"
McNeil's father, who experienced late-onset Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in his 70s, enlisted the help of a local trainer to work with his son. Every week they would exercise with weights together,
building McNeil's stamina and body control.
McNeil's sister Rory, 50, who didn't inherit either disease, and until recently was also Yreka's mayor, remembered their childhood.
"I didn't realize he had those disabilities. If he was walking by I'd throw a snow ball right at him. He would have expected nothing less," she said, laughing. "It's hard to be different. It shaped his
personality, which is a little cynical, a little tough. The disease has ravaged him, but fortunately it hasn't damaged his spirit or his brains. He's a special guy."
McNeil was inspired to become a trumpeter when he saw Louis Armstrong with his signature handkerchief on an episode of the "Milton Berle Show" in the late-1950s. But when McNeil's family took him to the Mayo clinic in Minnesota where he was finally diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a doctor said that exercise would only hurt him, and that he could never achieve the coordination to be a
professional musician.
"I realized, 'He doesn't know anything. He really doesn't know anything," said McNeil, whose health had improved from physical activity. He became skeptical of medical authority; he would have to
deal with his disease on his own.
McNeil briefly attended college in Oregon and Florida, settling in Louisville, Ky., where he paid his dues as a musician, working pickup gigs and making occasional forays to New York. He finally moved to
New York City in 1974, at the age of 26. By that time, his symptoms had stabilized.
"I used to go to Roseland where all the club date agencies booked musicians. I bugged them until they called me, 'our friend the paper cut,'" said McNeil. He started to get sent out on gigs, one of which
was for a big band that performed with music stands but no music. "The leader would give you a feature and say, 'Waltz, C, go.' And that would be it."
McNeil would go jam with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers at Boomer's, the long defunct downtown club. His reputation spread, earning him an audition with Horace Silver. "I never laughed so hard
in my life," said McNeil of his reaction to Silver's phone call welcoming him to the band. McNeil lasted a year and a half before being fired for "insubordination." "I called him a 'deaf motherfucker,'" he said, remembering his retort when Silver blamed him for another band member's repeated mistakes.
His bravado, though, was cooled by his idol, trumpeter and composer, Thad Jones, who invited McNeil to sit in with his big band, co-led with drummer Mel Lewis, at the Village Vanguard.
"He wasn't kind," said McNeil, remembering their exchange. "'Why are you stupid?' he said. 'You've got a lot of ideas but you've got to make them work for you…or sooner or later you're going to run out of
them.'" Jones was referring to the tendency of young improvisers to play too many notes too quickly, rather than patiently developing melodic ideas that reveal thought patterns.
"In one day I was a different player. He got my attention…I was left with the feeling I should be ashamed of myself," McNeil said. After McNeil returned and played again, Jones said nothing, but slowly, the
corners of his mouth crawled upward to form a smile. "It was the best reward I ever got in my life."
McNeil began to lead his own groups and make records on the Steeplechase label. It was then that he met Lolly Bienenfield, a freelance trombonist from Long Island. They've been together
romantically for more than 30 years.
"After we met, he left Billie Holiday's 'P.S. I Love You' on my answering machine," she said. Their bond became essential to McNeil's survival in the years to come.
In his early 30s, McNeil started having difficult days. He would drop things. He couldn't blow air through his horn. He didn't have any energy. He couldn't write. McNeil retreated from the scene. He had
the dental bridge custom built to strengthen his embouchure. And he practiced.
"It's always been important for him not to pity him. He's an unbelievable optimist, someone who knows who he is," said Bienenfeld. "He's part undaunted spirit, part coot."
No Zen master, McNeil has a temper. "John yells. He made me yell rather than doing the classic female thing, which is shut it all in," she said. "I remember one time his face was so close, he was
By 1986, McNeil had written new music for an important record date, only to have to cancel once again due to a relapse.
"So once again he quit performing," said Bienenfeld, who had been supporting them both financially through the difficult period. McNeil began teaching at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston,
Mass. He has now been on the faculty there for over 20 years. "He put himself on a tedious six-hour a day practice routine…to be able to hold his horn to his face for so many hours he used a laundry drying
rack to support the trumpet."
McNeil practiced this way, ritualistically, for two years. And just when his facial muscles were getting back into shape, he suddenly lost control of his right hand. McNeil's response was to have the
trumpet-maker he endorsed, Kanstul, build him two left-handed instruments. But he had to learn to play with his left hand.
When jazz musicians improvise, they try to play what they hear in their mind's ear. So often, McNeil had to learn to hear what might be possible for him to play given his physical limitations. Over the
years, his ordeals have also demanded he approach the instrument in every way possible, in fact, in ways that perhaps no other trumpet player ever has, said Russ Johnson, a Brooklyn-based trumpeter who
counts McNeil as a mentor.
"His physical limitations have helped a lot of trumpet players," he said by telephone. "His trumpet book had you practice difficult passages with the left hand so that they're easier to do when you
switched back to your right. It forced your brain to work to work a different way."
McNeil made a record, "Fortuity," left-handed. He also started to take daily doses of human growth hormone, which combats muscle wasting. It brought his right hand back to life. But his back had
also started to bother him.
"In '93 basically my spine disintegrated," said McNeil, who was then experiencing insufferable pain, and the feeling that his legs were either crawling with bugs, or on fire, or both. Doctors at the
Hospital For Special Surgery in New York determined that he had neuropathic spine, a condition related to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Two upper vertebrae had dissolved, internally exposing his spinal
cord. Doctors told him a wrong move could bring paralysis, even death. He was asked if he had his will.
Collapsing a lung to gain access, it took doctors 13.5 hours to reconstruct his upper spine using bone from his ribs and both hips held in place by screws, and metal rods. Before the surgery McNeil asked if the screwdriver used in such a sophisticated procedure might be "special." The surgeon said, "No."
McNeil's surgery was a success, making him 1.5 inches taller despite having had two discs removed. As he recovered, he began again to exercise and build muscle tone. He also increased his growth hormone
dosage, which now costs him and Bienenfeld between six and eight hundred dollars a month. McNeil railed against a bill sponsored by New York Sen. Charles Schumer, a Democrat and Iowa Sen. Charles
Grassley, a Republican, which aims to curb the abuse of growth hormone among professional athletes and others by classifying it a controlled substance. Doing so, McNeil said, would make it more difficult to
obtain for the sick people who really need it.
"I'm not trying to hit home runs, I'm trying to climb stairs. Without growth hormone, my career would be over," said McNeil, walking briskly back to his apartment, fortified also by caffeine.
The last few years have been especially productive for him. His records have garnered critical acclaim. He's led his own week-long engagement at the Village Vanguard, the same club where he was once
set straight by Thad Jones.
"Take the body away, you can think about music, but nobody can hear it," he said before ascending to his third floor walk-up.

The 44" high S4-2 system is a 1.6" thick, 4' wide SORBER that functions both as an absorber and redirector of acoustic energy.
The system consists of two, 2' wide hinged panels that fold in half, and when folded, offers a handle for easy transport. Two or three systems can be placed behind a drum kit or a single system behind an instrument amplifier to absorb the significant amount of acoustic energy that would normally be reflected off a back wall and back into the room.
Additionally, the system can be used free-standing in a room corner to create a quick and effective bass trap.
The S4-2 is constructed from fiberglass, covered in a light grey, heavy duty "car-trunk" cloth and has a Class-A fire rating.
- SORBER panels provide efficient noise reduction by not only redirecting acoustic energy, but simultaneously absorbing it
- Portable and lightweight, weighing 14 lbs
- System folds in half and provides a handle for easy transportation
- Can be used free-standing or attatched to a wall with optional Touch Fastener patches
- Multiple uses, including creating a temporary vocal or instrument booth, absorbers for monitor speakers or instrument amplifiers and as temporary bass traps

Body corporate rules victoria
About halfpast six, however, the grooms began to come down to air their masters horses-first one, and then another, till there were some dozen horses and five or six riders but that need not trouble me, for they would not come as far as the low rocks which I was now approaching. body corporate rules victoria I had reached these, and walked over the moist, slippery seaweed at the risk of floundering into one of the numerous pools of clear, salt water that lay between them, to a little mossy promontory with the sea splashing round it, I looked back again to see who next was stirring. Still, there were only the early grooms with their horses, and one gentleman with a little dark speck of a dog running before him, and one watercart coming out of body corporate rules victoria town to get water for the baths. In another minute or two, the distant bathing machines would begin to move, and then the elderly gentlemen of regular habits and sober quaker ladies would be coming to body corporate rules victoria their salutary morning walks. But however interesting such a scene might be, I could not wait to witness it, for the sun and the sea so dazzled my eyes in that direction, that I could but afford one glance; and then I turned again to delight myself with the sight and the sound of the sea, dashing against my promontory-with no prodigious force, for the swell was broken by the tangled seaweed and the unseen rocks beneath; otherwise I should soon have been deluged with spray. But the tide was coming in; the water was rising; the gulfs and lakes were filling; body corporate rules victoria straits were widening it was time to seek some safer footing; so I walked, skipped, and stumbled back to the smooth, wide sands, and resolved to proceed to a certain bold projection in the cliffs, and then return. Presently, I heard a snuffling sound behind me and then a dog came frisking and wriggling to my feet. It was my own Snap-the little dark, wirehaired terrier.

Update: Well, I was wrong, although I'm not sure how that happened. See here for more.
It looks like Hitwise has come up with some data supporting my theory that Adam Lambert will win American Idol by a landslide tonight.
After every show, I've been tracking the trends and searches for "Adam Lambert"-related phrases have been phenomenal. If that's not a good indicator of who will win tonight, then I don't know what is.
Now, Bill Tancer over at HitWise has new data backs up that theory…
The chart of search volume for the two finalists, dramatic rocker Adam Lambert and boy-next-door Kris Allen would appear to make this prediction a no-brainer.
Searches for "Adam Lambert" outnumber "Kris Allen" queries by a factor of 5-1. Closer examination of search variations on the two finalists reveal a Stacy Keibler Correction Coefficient lurking in the background. Of the top 100 search variations for Adam Lambert, 15% centered on his sexual orientation. In fact search variations for Kris Allen also demonstrate that searchers are less concerned with ability then with contestant's personal lives. The most common searches for Kris Allen center on his religious beliefs and questions about his wife.
I have read Tancer's book, Click, and you should too, because then you would know the answer already.
It's official. It will be Adam Lambert by a huge margin.Feel free to agree or disagree.
