Parallels Desktop 8 virtualization software
September 8th, 2012
Parallels 8 merges Mountain Lion and Windows 8
Parallels has quickly updated its popular Desktop virtualization utility for Mac, bringing support for the latest software and hardware: OS X Mountain Lion, Windows 8 and Retina display-equipped MacBook Pros. In our full review, we take a closer look at Parallels' latest attempt to provide a common experience across competing platforms.
Parallels has quickly updated its popular Desktop virtualization utility for Mac, bringing support for the latest software and hardware: OS X Mountain Lion, Windows 8 and Retina display-equipped MacBook Pros. In our full review, we take a closer look at Parallels\' latest attempt to provide a common experience across competing platforms.
We love the new
15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display
, but cross-platform users have been left waiting for the 2880x1800 display resolution to be supported by Windows via Boot Camp. Parallels 8 overcomes this limitation, enabling the full Retina resolution to be presented in the virtual Windows environment.
Mountain Lion brings its own unique set of software-based features to a wider range of Mac hardware, with Dictation vying for top honors. We are impressed by Parallels\' Dictation integration in Windows, seamlessly enabling us to use the same voice-based input capabilities that Apple developed specifically for OS X. The \"Fn Fn\" shortcut initiates Dictation in both environments (or whatever custom shortcut has been configured in OS X).
We were surprised to find that Desktop 8 supports Windows 8\'s Toast notifications. When running Windows 8 as a virtual machine, any Toast notifications are simultaneously routed through Mountain Lion\'s own notification system. If an Outlook e-mail pops up in the Notification Center, for example, clicking the alert will launch the corresponding app.
Parallels developers have also succeeded in keeping up with the evolution of fullscreen functionality in OS X and Windows. Clicking the expansion button in the title bar of the virtual machine switches the view from windowed to fullscreen. We did not run into any problems with this feature, which properly scaled between various resolutions when switching between modes or simply resizing the window.
Desktop 8 supports Mission Control, properly grouping windows by application, along with Launchpad for app organization. We were also delighted to use the full range of Mountain Lion gestures in Windows apps, including tap/pinch to zoom, swipe between apps, two-finger scroll, three-finger drag, etc. Drag-and-drop file migration between platforms is now extensively supported, while the Mac hard drive finally shows up in Windows as an actual drive rather than a shared folder.
The Windows 8 experience brings its own unique challenges as a virtual machine, particularly when viewed in a small window. Microsoft chose to eliminate the Start menu in favor of \"hot corners,\" which bring up additional menus when the mouse cursor is moved to the edge of the screen in each corner. Users now must bring the cursor to the upper-right corner to bring up the Start, Search, Share, Devices and settings menus.
The hot corners are designed to work at the edge of a display, where the cursor will naturally stop. As a compromise between platform switching and usability in Windows 8, the virtualization software will allow the cursor to move beyond the edge of the virtual machine window if it is moving fast, however it stops at the edge if it is moving slow. It took us a little while to get accustomed to this, but we could not think of a better approach.
Parallels\' Coherence mode focuses on seamless switching between OS X and the VM, enabling users to run Windows programs in multiple windows as if they were Mac apps. We ran into a bit of trouble with Windows 8 when attempting to start off in Coherence mode before opening apps, such as Internet Explorer, which could not be resized into a smaller window after launching in fullscreen mode. If we opened IE before switching to Coherence mode, however, everything worked perfectly fine. Considering Windows 8 is still a preview beta, we can\'t expect Parallels to iron out every bug until the OS formally arrives on the market.
We were able to view the Windows UI on an HDTV via AirPlay mirroring with an Apple TV. Parallels\' fullscreen mode adapted to the automatic scaling settings in the AirPlay utility, though we lost the ability to quickly exit fullscreen mode from the drop-down OS X settings in the top menu bar. The Dock still popped up when we brought our cursor to the bottom of the screen, serving as a workaround to switch between the Mac and Windows environments.
Both Parallels 8 and VMware\'s competing Fusion 5 are claimed to bring significant performance improvements over their respective predecessors. When testing with Windows 8 on a 15-inch Late 2011 MacBook Pro with a 2.2GHz Core i7 processor and 512MB AMD Radeon 6750M graphics, we did not find a wide gap between the performance of Parallels or Fusion. Both proved capable of booting from a dead start (both the VM software and virtual OS shut down) within 17 to 18 seconds. Most people simply suspend the session and close Parallels, in which case the reboot time shrinks to just 10 seconds. If we kept open Parallels and resumed a suspended session, the boot time dropped to just five seconds.
Parallels 8 did prove to be slightly superior to Fusion 5 when running Futuremark\'s 3DMark06 tests, which are optimized for DirectX 9. We reached a total score of 6499 on Parallels 8, compared to 6103 on Fusion 5, which equates to a mere eight percent performance gap. Both virtual machines were set to utilize one CPU core and 2GB of RAM.
We also tried switching the software settings to allocate two CPU cores and 4GB of RAM, splitting our resources between OS X and the virtual machine. 3DMark06 scores jumped by 859 (totaling 7358) in Parallels 8, and by 772 (totaling 6875) in Fusion 5. The results appear to demonstrate that Parallels offers slightly better optimizations when provided with additional resources, however we typically keep VMs set to just one CPU core and 2GB of RAM to avoid any performance issues in OS X.
Our real-world tests subjectively arrived at the same conclusion: both Parallels 8 and Fusion 5 are far superior to their predecessors. We had no problem using Parallels 8 to run web-based multimedia and a number of native apps, while games that had been noticeably choppy on Parallels 7 have finally been made usable in the virtual environment. The first-person shooter
and flight simulator Phoenix R/C both ran with acceptable frame rates.
Aside from benchmarks and performance in the virtual machine, we rarely experienced any excessive degradation in the OS X experience while running Parallels 8. With previous editions, even when we allocated a fraction of our resources to the VM, our system seemed to occasionally grind to a halt. In our tests with Parallels 8, however, OS X always felt like it was running with three of four CPU cores and most of the available RAM (when one core and 2GB of RAM were allocated to the VM).
Previous Parallels releases typically maintained a slight edge over Fusion in terms of 3D graphics performance, though VMware has held its status as the king of enterprise integration. Parallels 8 is available as an \"enterprise edition\" with unified volume licensing, administrator controls and extensive support, though it remains unclear if the additional business-focused features will pull market share away from Fusion.
From a consumer perspective, Parallel\'s iOS app ($5,
App Store
) is one of the few truly distinguishing features from Fusion. VMware does offer an equivalent app for Fusion, but it is limited to enterprise customers.
We encountered difficulty in attempting to find a clear winner between Parallels 8 and Fusion 5. Both take advantage of the latest features in OS X, recent Mac computers, and Microsoft\'s forthcoming Windows 8 release. Users who need to squeeze every bit of performance out of their Mac, for intensive tasks such as gaming, are still better off running Windows through Boot Camp. For the rest of the crowd, however, Parallels is a perfect way to simultaneously experience the best of both platforms.
Parallels Desktop 8 is available for $80, with upgrades from Desktop 6+ available for $50. The basic VMware Fusion 5 edition carries a $50 price tag.
-Faster performance
-Dictation in Windows
-Supports Windows 8
-Retina display support
-OS X gestures in Windows
-Costs more than OS upgrades
-Awkward Windows 8 interaction

Rohan Marley, one of the son's of the late Bob Marley and a former football player, isn't shy about promoting his entrepreneurial efforts to FORBES. In 2009, he launched his own coffee brand, Marley Coffee, that sources from Jamaica and Ethiopia, and in 2012, he started an eco-friendly electronics company, The House of Marley.
Recently, Marley Coffee has attracted some media attention due to high increases in volume up from $1.8 million in 2012 to $6 million in 2013 and with projections for $10 million this year. They're also boasting a partnership with Mother Parkers that's aligned them to be the first brand name coffee in a recyclable, single-serve capsule and a deal with Bevyz to start distributing cold brew coffee.
I spoke with founder Rohan Marley and CEO Brent Toevs to find out why and how they've been able to enter these new markets and get their product to stand out among the competition. Is it truly just about a name?
Kerry Flynn: What was your mission when you first started out, and have you stuck with that?
Rohan Marley: To create opportunities for the community and do something as an entrepreneur that creates a sustainable movement of something that can outlast a generation. We started Marley Coffee from a farm perspective and ever since we've been doing things in a sustainable way and organically.
Brent Toevs: When I saw Marley Coffee and met with Ro to listen to his vision, having worked with many of the large brands that are out there in the coffee and beverage sector, I really thought this was a brand that could make a difference. Instead of worrying about this year's crops, we're going to worry about it 10 years now, 20 years from now.
Flynn: If you wanted to prioritize sustainability, why offer single-serve k-cups?
Toevs: To change the game, you have to be in the game. We chose to get into the single-serve business with a company that had a real strategy for change. Not a blueprint for 2020. Mother Parkers told us within 2 years we will have your brand with the first recyclable k-cups.
Flynn: But when it came to partnering with this company, how could you trust them? What advice do you have for other entrepreneurs looking to partner up?
Toevs: Do your research. Decide who are you as a company and what your goals are. Every company has to generate revenues and be profitable. There's an easy path, a hard path, and a lot of paths in between. Pick your partners based on how you can stay true to yourself. And if we wanted to walk away, we could have, but we were committed to what they were doing and vice versa.
Marley: For all the people we work with, we develop the relationship over time. Many people have visited our office, but Mother Parkers took the time to visit Jamaica, our farm. They're a 100-year-old company, and we're just starting out. We're connecting our legacy and their legacy. That's what we saw with each other — the trust level and being emotionally connected.
Flynn: I saw that you moved your headquarters from California to Denver. Why Colorado?
Toevs: We knew we needed a base in North America. We had a few people working remotely, but for efficiency, there's nothing like sitting in the same room and brainstorming and talking. We looked at South Florida (Ro's family is based there), NYC (Ro's residence), and southern California (the market where we moved more product than anywhere else). Then we looked at Denver. It's the whole center of organic and sustainability. People here live and breathe that. We started taking market factors into consideration: quality of life, cost of living. Denver is a main hub for a couple of airlines, so we could get anywhere direct, and with all the universities, there's so much talent. The consumer is here and the business community here has thrown their support in this company.
Flynn: You've aligned yourself with a lot of sponsors in Denver. How do you choose who to work with?
Toevs: As a small brand you have to be really careful. We're not a big brand, yet. We have to go to partners and work out terms that economically make sense for the marketing that you're going to get out, and you also have to be able to leverage that relationship into dollars. Whether it's access to their corporate partners or their fan base or do things that are way out of the box that introduce our product. With the name Marley, so many people approach us. Ro, how many people do you talk to?
Marley: I think if it wasn't for Brent, I'd be talking all day. It has to be at least 50 a day. I get so many emails. Everyone wants to do business. Everyone wants to open up a coffee shop.
Toevs: All of those people that speak to Ro, they believe they'll be good for the brand. What we've learned is how to say no. You can never burn a bridge. Everybody that we've said no to, we still listen to. They think, "Oh they've listened to us, and we've had ideas, and we might be able to come back to it." People are offering you up great deals. You have to respectfully say no, and stay focused. What is your core business and champion that.
Flynn: So what roles and responsibility do each of you have? Where does Rohan fit into running the company?
Toevs: Ro is the visionary of the company. Everything comes from Ro in terms of what are our ethics and who do we want to be, what's our sustainability message and where do the products fit. And for Anh Tran, he's the president of the company. He answers, "What do we want to be when we grow up?" It's all about hiring the right people and hiring people who are smarter than you. We have phenomenal support staff here that support that grocery side of the business. And we have great distribution partners. It's all about you knowing where you want to get and in the end you know how many people are going to be needed. You almost have that fictitious organizational chart. As you start growing you just start plugging in those positions.
Flynn: What's next for Marley Coffee?
Toevs: We want to lead that sustainability movement. Every coffee brand is trying to say that. Every brand is taking the easy road… If we can get that entry barrier lowered by staying independent and teaming up with equipment manufacturers, we can really make an impact.
Flynn: Let's take a step back. What about the coffee itself? What makes Marley Coffee so good?
Toevs: Sometimes we forget about that. There's a lot of great coffees out there. What I've always told our sales people, and I guarantee this to Ro, if people go in and do a blind taste test you're going to win 9 out of 10 times. It holds true. If you look at singleservecoffee.com, our coffees got rated 98, 99, 100. We're proud of that. A lot of athletes love the brand. Rohan played for the University of Miami and his teammates were Ray Lewis and "The Rock." I don't know if Lewis has any other clothes besides a Marley Coffee t-shirt right now.
Flynn: Do you think a lot of that success is from Ro himself and the name?
Toevs: With Ro being our ambassador, it's a real nice advantage, but even with brands that I've worked with, it's all about the relationships you create. It doesn't have to be a celebrity. It can be a distributor for the town that you're working with. We have some independent retailers up in the Toronto market. These guys took chances on our brand. We keep paying that back as much as we can. It's about developing great relationships that are going to be win-win.
Flynn: Rohan, what would you say your biggest success has been so far with this business?
Marley: Meeting Brent and Ahn and the partnership we've developed with Mother Parkers. Seeing the passion with how they live and meeting the families. The team that we've created has been so successful. Without the team, without the people who really believe in who they are as human beings, you can't succeed.

text: After starting some discussion this spring about a standard hashing API for Python, I kind of forgot about the issue for a long time. As an effort at reviving it, I've updated the PEP, and the current version is at http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0247.html. Changes: renamed clear() to reset() (Rich Salz); added hexdigest() method (Barry Warsaw); added digestsize attribute to objects (Andrew Archibald). There's one XXX issue left; what the reset() method does with a hash that requires keys or other arguments. The current text is: Reset this hashing object to its initial state, as if the object was created from new(key=<initially specified key>) (XXX what should this do for a keyed hash? A proposed semantic follows:). There is no way to supply a starting string as there is for the new() function, and there's no way to change the key specified for a keyed hash. On further thought, the proposed semantic is bad, because it means that objects will need to keep a copy of the key around. I propose that either 1) reset() raises an exception for hashes with parameters -- changing the key or number of rounds would *always* require creating a new object. Or, 2) reset() takes the exact same arguments as the constructor, and therefore the object can always be re-created with any of its parameters being different. 1) is easier to implement, but 2) shouldn't be very hard. The constructor would probably initialize the C struct representing an object, and then call reset() under the covers to do the argument processing. So, do people prefer 1 or 2? --amk

Eucharist & New Testament
The New Testament was written originally in Aramaic and Greek, recorded on papyrus in a codex format and the earliest individual letters and manuscripts still in existence date to no earlier than 140AD.
In Genesis, Adam and Eve taste the forbidden Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil, and their eyes were opened and they became truly human. This is a concept carried through most of the other books until the Revelations of Saint John, the last book in the New Testament, where there is the river of the water of Life and the Trees of Life whose "leaves" were for the healing of the nations.
These books start with the consumption of a very special "Fruit" this same Fruit is consumed by the Seers (Prophets) in many of the Old Testament books, this is continued into the New Testament were the Fruit of the Tree of Life is re-elevated to the status of the Son of God, and as the Eucharist must be tasted, consumed, and has existed from the beginning.
Belore are some interesting New Testament verses.
New Testament Bible Quotes
The New Testament Bible is perhaps the most misunderstood and misinterpreted book ever written, with dedicated Christian scholars and those who hate the book and Christianity both being completely ignorant of what this book is really about i.e. Soma.
What sets this collection of books apart from other ancient texts on the Plant God Soma and has caused this confusion; is the extensive personification of the Soma Plant as the hero "Christ Jesus" of a story that was written as being a real historical event.
The quotes were chosen to show that the Christ was to be "tasted", "eaten" and dates "from the beginning" all things that are impossible for a man.
Milk of the Word, Taste the Lord,
Living Stone 1 Peter 2: 2-4
2. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3. If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious.
Tasting the Heavenly gift
Hebrews 6: 4-5
4. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost.
5. And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come.
Living Water
Gospel of John 7:37, 38:
"37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink."
"38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
Amanita Muscaria is a most unique drug plant that when consumed in quantity produces potent psychoactive urine.
Bread of Life Gospel of John 6:48-58
48. "I am that bread of life.
49. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die
51. I am the living bread, which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, how can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
(This is a very good question, an obvious hint to the wise that no man is speaking, and an excellent distraction to the unwary by maintaining the illusion of reality being narrated.)
53. "Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
55. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me."
58. "This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live forever."
'Word of God
Gospel of John 1:1-4, 14
1. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2. The same was in the beginning with God.
3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
14. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth."
Now, compare to the Rig-Veda speaking of Soma:
R.V. 1X87 2cd "Father of the gods, progenitor of the moving force, mainstay of the sky, foundation of the earth."
R.V. 1X76 4 "Monarch of everything that sees the sun light, Soma cleanses himself, triumphing over the Prophets, he made the Word of the Way to resound, he who is cleansed by the suns ray, he the father of poems, master-poet yet equaled."
The Word of the New Testament cannot be fitted to a man, no matter how you twist logic and belief. It does, however, fit perfectly with the Rig Veda's eloquent Word of the Way, the father of the Gods, the Master-Poet, without any problems.
Son of God
John 3:16-17
The most "quoted" line in all of the New Testament writings is John 3:16.
16. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
A "man," or the real Son of God; Amanita Muscaria, the herb of immortality, the whole conception of Christianity is completely changed by which viewpoint is used "Man" has a God who demands the human sacrifice of a perfect man, to make up for human disobedience (free will), no loving God here.
"Herb of Life", the sky father sends his son (Amanita Muscaria) nature's greatest gift to man. A loving, caring God, a father that gives, not demands. The son brings his gifts to humanity, Wisdom, prophecy, joy, new life, health, love, immortality and who even when sacrificed lives again.
Word of Life
1 John 1:1-2
1. "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled of the Word of life;
2. (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us.)"
This simply can't apply to a "man" by any stretch of the imagination. It does, however, make a perfect fit with the herb of Immortality. The New Testament's Word of Life is composed of two Rig Veda terms for the Soma, Word of the Way and the Herb of Life. Substitute herb of life; for Word of life and you have a perfectly logical statement. In the herb cult context it is perfectly logical as written.
Who is the Christ?
Mathew 22; 41-46
41. "While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them.
42. Saying, What think you of the Christ? Whose son is he? They say unto him, the son of David.
43. He saith unto them, how, then does David in spirit call him Lord, saying.
44. The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45. If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son?
46. And no man was able to answer him a word, neither did any man from that day forth ask him any more questions."
I had to read this statement several times to really understand this most profound question in line 45. The statement in line 44 quoted from Psalm 110.1, is written from the perspective of the scribe, or in the third person so it is saying the Lord (the God) said to my (the Scribes) Lord (King David).
Here we have "Jesus," plainly stating through the use of a clever question; that no son of David; himself included, could ever be the Christ. Now this statement from the founder of Christianity completely contradicts the belief of all Christian Churches that state "Jesus the son of David is the Christ".
The phrase "in spirit" is the New Testament's way of saying intoxicated on Soma. It was common in the Persian Soma usage to have a scribe present whenever a Magi or Prince consumed the Soma, to record every word of that person's conversation with the God Soma or to record other impressions of the person's experience, this recording of the interaction between a man and the "living" God is the root of the ancient practice of prophecy.
Many Christians would be surprised to know that the late Roman emperors manufactured the Religion now called Christianity, in a desperate attempt to hold a crumbling empire together. Elements from several different religions were combined to create a "universal" or Catholic Church, which was established to stabilize and unify the Roman Empire.
Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, the cult of Dionysus, the cult of Isis and Osiris, the cult of Amen and many others, were all used to create Christianity. All of these ancient religions were widespread thru out the late Roman Empire and are still detectable in modern Christianity, the cult of Isis has become the cult of the Virgin Mary, Mithras/Osiris/Dionysus combined have become the Christ, and every Christian knows that hymns and prayers end with "Amen" the name of the ancient Egyptian god Amen. The New Testament texts that Christianity is based on were extensively edited for content, and even rewritten by people employed by the Roman Emperors to create this new religion. Many texts that did not fit into this new scheme were simply dropped from the list of acceptable texts, and in some cases were banned outright.

Mark McEntire to Lead Genesis Study
Mark McEntire will be leading us in a fascinating study of Genesis for the next 3 Wednesday nights. The sessions will begin at 6:45 when our prayer time ends and finish around 7:30. You really won't want to miss this!
January 15 - The Narrative Arc of Genesis 1-11
We will look at how Genesis 1-11 builds a particular kind of narrative world and how the characters and events operate within that world. This will point to a sequence of four strange texts that usually receive less attention than others and reveal that the threat of settled life, technology, and city-building are a primary concern of Genesis 1-11.
January 22 - Battle of the Genealogies in Genesis 4-5
The most puzzling text in all of Genesis 1-11 is the genealogy of Cain in 4:17-22. The confusion is heightened by its connections to the larger genealogy of Adam/Seth in Genesis 5. The presence of these two genealogies side-by-side in Genesis demands explanation, which may reveal what this part of the book is trying to do.
January 29 - Civilization as the Forbidden Fruit
Taking conclusions drawn from this reading of Genesis 1-11 back into the story of the Garden of Eden may indicate that the knowledge Adam and Eve gain, and pass on to their son Cain, is the knowledge of human culture and civilization. This is what he is banished to carry away, because it results in the death of the nomadic herding way of life embodied by Abel. As city-dwellers like Nimrod and the people of Babel, how do we read a sacred text that takes this attitude toward urban, settled life?

It's summer and time to head out on the road (unless you are a homeschooler; then you avoid the summer travelers and go during the school).
But in either case road trips are an excellent opportunity to create memories and STRESS!
3 Road Trip Essentials: Patience, Preparation and Play!
PATIENCE: This means to be flexible and realistic
If you are traveling more than 3 hours away expect at least one good traffic accident to slow you down for 30-45mins.
If you have a child under the age of 5 in the car add an additional hour onto your GPS's ETA. And that "Add an Hour" rule applies to EVERY child that you have in the car under the age of 5.
Don't ask me where I got these rules- just trust me as a mom of 5 who has travelled with them since the first one was an infant. He's now 22. I'm an optimist with EXPERIENCE! So believe me when I say stick to these rules and you'll do well in keeping yourself calm and stress free on your road trips!
PREPARATION: This means to nip the problems in the bud.
As stated I'm an optimist. So the saying, 'Expect the best, Prepare for the worst" grates against my life's philosophies! But it's sooo freaking true on a road trip. Therefore, prepare prepare prepare!
One bag, One pillow, One blanket per child rule! By initiating this rule you keep down the clutter in your vehicle. If there's a problem with the car, late at night and it entails a tow truck coming to get you and the kiddies you don't want to have to dig through piles of stuff on the floor to get to the toddler in the back carseat! IJS, keep it neat. Besides when you stop at the gas station and the kids get out and there's an avalanche of toys and "stuff" tumbling after them, it just ain't pretty.
Every child for himself and mom for all: Put snacks in each child's individual book bag. And you keep control over certain snacks and drinks with a small cooler. NOW if, like me, you are concerned because you have that one Greedy Gut Kid that will eat ALL of his snacks before you're out of the driveway, then before the trip have the talk about consequences & self-discipline and then let the lessons begin. Of course the child has to be over the age of 8 to fully get the lesson.
Indoor Swimming pools are from the heavens! If you are going to stop at a hotel make sure it has an indoor pool. Before you leave in the morning let those little jokers swim off some of that energy! It may be a little more expensive to stay there but it's sooo worth it. There's nothing like chlorine to calm down the kids.
Maps aren't just educational tools but they shut down the, "Are We There Yet?" question! A few days before your trip print out a simple map of your destination for younger children and mark off the route with a bright crayon. For the older children get an official map and teach them how to read it. Yes GPS is part of our lives forever now but we still need to know how to read maps danggonit!
PLAY: This means to make the journey just as much fun as the destination
I want my children to remember the FUN car rides to go and have fun; not the dreaded HOURS of sitting in the car to go have fun. You would do well to map your trip out by the hour and have an activity for each hour. Already a 5 hour trips sounds more manageable.
Blow bubbles out the windows-leave the windows slightly ajar and lock them so the kids don't get carried away. And they will get carried away.
Wrap Dollar Store toys and even old toys that they haven't played with in a while, in Christmas wrapping paper and put them in a gift bag. When you stop for gas let everyone chose a "gift"!
Give each child 5 paperclips at the start of the trip and choose the Taboo Word of the Hour. These are words decided by the children before the trip started. If a player say sthe Taboo Word of the Hour and another hears it, they can take that players clip. They can earn clips back by listening closely and catching another player when they slip up. The word can be car, dance, OMG or my chosen word "Mommy"!
The Alphabet Memory game keeps them laughing. Starting with the letter A, the first person says "I went to the store and bought an APPLE" (or whatever word they want to use that begins with the letter A). The next player has to repeat what was said before, adding another item on that begins with the next letter of the alphabet "I went to the store and bought an APRICOT and a BANDANA" Rotate around the car until you get to the letter Z.
Start a story and everyone in the car adds on to it. Definitely get your recording device out for this one.
Work together to spot a license plate from as many states as possible. Let someone keep score and they Family gets a special treat when all are found.
I Spy never gets old, especially with little kids. Have the person who is "it" spy something in the car, and each player takes turns guessing what they've spied.
Someone asks a random question (ie: Would you rather eat a worm, or squish it with your fingers?) Each person gets a chance to answer and give their reasons why if they want.This is one where you don't even have to get involved although it'll be so interesting it'll be difficult to tune out.
Have a bubble gum blowing contest! This is another one where you don't have to get involved, unless you have a bunch of competitive boys like I do! In which case, just give them gum and tell them to blow bubbles.
Play cards! Uno, Old Maids, Go Fish. If you don't have the space in the car then save this for a rest stop visit.
Road trips can create great memories or great misery. The only way to have a stress free road trip is to plan for the one that you want most.
For even MORE tips check out my video of How to Travel with Kids video below. I recorded while on a road trip with my children.

It's ba-a-a-a-a-a-ack…
While the Capital District has seen a growth of "Trivia League" competitions, with multi-week tournaments and a grand prize at the end, the Elbo Room was the first bar in the area to offer a trivia tournament with a big grand prize.
For those of you who haven't been following this blog since its 2009 association with the TU, here's how the Elbo Room tournament works. It's a standard 20-question trivia game, the harder questions are worth more points. At the end of the night, the top three teams for the night earn 5, 3 and 1 playoff points, respectively. Over twenty grueling weeks, teams compete to secure the top eight spots and earn the right to participate in the winner-takes-all final round in February.
My Street Academy team has won the tournament twice, and we're the current reigning Elbo Room champions. But you don't get points for winning the previous tournament, you're getting points for participating in the current tournament.
So let's get started, shall we?
On the first night of trivia, the regular trivia teams were there, ready to try and take the first playoff points. There's Woo Hoo a Go Go over by the far wall. Near the fireplace is Team Fist. And sitting in one of the booths is Team Bush. And Jamilah from the Haterzzzz is at the bar, ready to score an upset win.
Well, my Street Academy team – Jeremy McNamara and I – didn't start off well. We had the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, it was in Denver. We had the Cleveland Browns relocating to Baltimore after the 1994 season; it was after the 1995 season. It was a rough first quarter.
We made up for it, though. We knew the town of Salzburg was in Austria; we knew that the first hospital in the United States was formed in Philadelphia; and we knew the 2009 Golden Rasberry award for Best Actor went to the Jonas Brothers. I guess they played themselves in a concert movie. If you're the worst actor for the year and you're essentially playing yourself…
After nineteen questions, we were in second place, with Team Bush 24 points ahead and Team Fist and Team Woo Hoo close on our heels.
The category – New York, New York.
Oh great. It'll probably be about the Frank Sinatra song.
J-Mac and I discussed our betting strategy. We decided to bet 79 points, in that if we got it right we would guarantee finishing no worse than second place.
"Traveling as far north as Yonkers, the aqueduct that brings New York City most of its fresh water shares its name with what other East Coast state?"
We went through as many states as we could. New Jersey Aqueduct? Pennsylvania Aqueduct? Maybe it was built for the Delaware and Hudson Railroad, or maybe it brings water from the Delaware River…
We both came up with Delaware. We wrote down Delaware.
So did Team Fist and Team Woo Hoo. Team Bush, on the other hand, wrote down Maryland.
Apparently this 85-mile-long aqueduct is named the Delaware Aqueduct. And our careful betting strategy paid off, with Street Academy taking the first five playoff points!!
A side note. After the game, I'm at the bar waiting to get our bill for our food. Another bar patron came over to talk to us. "You're this Street Academy team?"
"Yeah," I said. I almost expected to hear some crack about South American maps.
"Were you teachers over there or something?"
"No," I replied. "I went there. Class of 1981."
"You know Bonnie Diefendorf?"
"God rest her soul," I said.
"She was my English teacher. And George Mastrangelo was my music teacher. I'm Class of '91."
Nice. We chatted for a few minutes. "I got more respect for you," he said to me. "Cause you and I both came from the same high school."
"That we did," I smiled, shaking his hand.
Okay, recap.
So here's the standings after one week of qualifying. The top eight teams after 20 weeks will appear in the final game for all the money.
|Trivia Team
|Street Academy
|Team Fist
|Woo Hoo a Go Go
One week down. Nineteen weeks to go.
Get ready for all the fun.

about us
Electrowerks is the private studio of award winning producer/engineer Charles Macak.
Electrowerks is a new breed of hybrid studios. Combining the sonic benefits of traditional analog and the infinite possibilities of a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). With the implementation of these new groundbreaking technologies, and the sound of analog, the boundaries are blurred between Analog and Digital to create one seamless sonic landscape. Chuck enlisted the services of Jeff Hedback of HDA to design the room, and he did a great job. The room sounds amazing and is a pleasure to work in. Bright and lively yet dark and comforting. Every artist who works in the room feels very comfortable to let the creative flow happen. Electrowerks has a collection of great analog outboard gear and tape machines of yesteryear along with some of the current sought-after favorites to make sure all the analog bases are covered. With a huge collection of today's top Plug-ins there is not much Electrowerks can't achieve. Electrowerks prides itself for using today's most powerful computers along with top DAW software like Logic and Pro Tools. Electrowerks can start a recording from scratch or pick up where you left off at a previous studio. To see a list of equipment for Electrowerks click the studio link at the top of the page.
Electrowerks is a music production company. That means we not only record music, we produce music.
All great recordings start with great music. We can help with that. Producing music, in theory, is simple. A musician plays an idea, an engineer records it, and that's all there is to it. Simple, right? Unfortunately, this is often not the case. Far too many producers in today's industry leave it at just that. Producing great music can require much more work than that. It is a producer's responsibility to convey the artist's passionate and emotional ideas in such a way that will be relevent in today's music industry. A producer needs to take each song, break it down to its rawest form, and build it better, stronger and tighter than before. Every part needs to be analyzed to ensure that they all work as one cohesive unit. Sometimes, a completely new song arises from the process. Other times the song doesn't need any changes at all. The craft of producing is an art, and no single philosophy works for every artist. Producer and owner Chuck Macak understands this better than most. Although he has a tremendous amount of experience as an audio engineer, he isn't just another engineer masquerading as a producer. Chuck focuses on the creative flow. Unlike most producers, he understands that mucking about with the knobs too much becomes a hindrance to the creative flow of the session. Chuck works with his team to pick the instrument best suited for the job, microphone, and gear to capture the finished sound quickly, as to not disrupt the creative flow. Chuck investigates the artist's interests and goes over their master plan before recording, to acquire the creative goal of the project. Most artists have great ideas, but lack an overall vision of the project as a whole. He thoroughly studies demos beforehand to be familiar with the song at hand, so he can suggest exactly what the song needs during the session. He helps to lay out the progression of the project, so that it has cohesiveness. Unfortunately, the industry today has distinct trends and genres. Many producers require their artists to conform to what is successful or popular. Chuck works to ensure that the project fits into the current industry, without compromise of individuality. Whether it's Disney pop music or indie alternative rock, the artist's goal is what's important.
We're here to help you create the best music possible and have fun doing it. We wish you all good luck on your journey, we'd love to be a part of it.

When we recorded our demo tracks we started searching for a good sound engineer to mix the tracks, and we found Chuck Macak. I never thought that our demos can sound that good.It's very difficult to find a high-level sound engineer like Chuck. Hope to work with him again!

Do you ever get really excited to go away on vacation, or go away for a long weekend, and then become totally seized with anxiety right before it's time to go? Whether your anxiety is due to flying, packing, leaving your kids/family, animals, plants, or whatever makes your freeze up, it is a real life issue and more people than you might realize are affected by these fears, even if they don't have a diagnosed anxiety disorder. There are some tips that you can use to help to decrease your anxiety and make trips and traveling MUCH more enjoyable.
1. Organize: Make lists of what you need to pack and everything you need to do before you go. You will feel more in control if you know that, in advance, you made a list of everything that needed to be completed, and you took care of all of it. So you can be ready and leave for your trip, assured that you are totally prepared.
2. Medicate: If you have a diagnosed anxiety disorder, and take medications to treat it, discuss with your Healthcare Practitioner (HCP) the possibility of increasing your medication dosage in times of high stress, or when the appropriate time to dose your medication is, so that you remain calm and clear when traveling.
3. Avoid Caffeine: Caffeine can make you more anxiety ridden, even though it helps to keep you awake and give you more energy. That extra bit of stimulant can help you finish all of your last-minute errands, but it can also cause some anxious moments.
4. Know your Triggers: What causes your anxiety? What are your triggers? Maybe it is that last-minute frenzy, or saying goodbye to your family….realize that and plan accordingly. If you need more time to say goodbye, plan for it. If you need to pack way ahead of time, to ward off panic attacks and anxiety, pack two weeks ahead. Whatever makes you the most nervous, plan for it, because you will be less anxious if you are prepared, and no one knows you better than yourself.
5. Try to Relax: Easier said than done, but try to meditate, listen to white noise, go for a long run (or whatever your preferred choice of exercise is) that morning to help clear your head. Take a bath with lavender essential oils, or get a massage; whatever techniques work for you to help ease your mind and slow/prevent anxiety attacks.
6. Be Open: Most importantly, don't suffer alone. If you are traveling with others, let them know that sometimes you get anxiety when traveling and let them know what they can do to help you (if even it is to leave you alone to figure it out yourself.) That way, they know what may be causing you to act a little different from your normal self, and you don't have to feel like you are hiding anything….which can cause anxiety in and of itself!
I don't really get anxious….unless I'm late for my flight/missing my flight; that can cause me to lose my cool! I also always feel really guilty leaving my dogs. It is totally irrational guilt because they love staying with their trainer, and they have no idea what's going on; the stress is all me, and I project it on them, but I've come to realize that I do it, SO I prepare and make sure that I have them all situated, then I get back to finish packing and head to the airport with plenty of time, and I am cool as a cucumber. All that stated, I don't have an anxiety disorder, just normal stress, but I have learned what causes me undue stress and I work with it to decrease it as much as possible.
Traveling is never easy, but knowing what causes you to lose your cool, and preventing it, is one way to make the experience a LOT better. And if you are someone who really freezes when traveling (due to fear of a plane, flying, etc) you can work with your HCP to try hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, or talk therapy and see what will best fit your needs and re-train your thinking, to make traveling a breeze.
Yours in Good Health

Most of the roles in the Role Taxonomy for Accessible Adaptable Applications Working Draft are for assistive purposes. They all authors to identify a specific DHTML widget or block of code as being a particular type of widget, such as a radio group or a tree. I was told that this was needed because aural browsers and other assistive user agents couldn't make heads or tails of complex DHTML composite controls. My suggestion on the WHATWG mailing list was that we have a |wairole| attribute that specifically communicates "accessibility roles", as opposed to having a |role| attribute that can declare roles with a broad range of semantics and can potentially interact with the underlying markup and other roles. At this point, I'm leaning toward just having enhanced support for microformats and converting the Role Taxonomy into an assistive microformat that uses |class|. I could be persuaded to allow a |role| attribute if it were limited to microformat use, but at this point I think it's possible to solve the problem of non-semantic class names with some sort of microformat class matching and cascade system: | <meta name="microformat" | content="http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar-profile" name="hcal"> | [...] |

Clifford Brown
Clifford Brown was born on October 30, 1930 in Wilmington, Delaware and passed away on June 26, 1956 in Bedford, Pennsylvannia.
Brown was the youngest of eight children. Growing up in a musical family, Brown was exposed to music at a young age by his father and older siblings. "From the earliest time," Brown told Nat Hentoff, "I can remember it was the trumpet that fascinated me. When I was too little to reach it, I would climb up to where it was, and I kept knocking it down." He received his first trumpet at the age of 13.
Brown began studying with Robert "Boysie" Lowery while in middle school, and soon joined Lowery's student jazz ensemble, the Little Dukes. He eventually began taking lessons from his high school band director, Harry Andrews, at Howard High School. Andrews exposed Brown to classical trumpet technique, providing him with the foundation for the remarkable technique and control of his mature style. During this time, Brown also began playing the piano and learning basic music theory and arranging skills.
Even before graduating high school, Brown was playing in and around Philadelphia, which was only 27 miles away from Wilmington. Brown began attending Delaware State College in 1948, where he studied mathematics.
Brown sat in for Benny Harris in Dizzy Gillespie's big band in 1949 during the band's engagement in Wilmington. Impressed with Brown's ability, Gillespie encouraged Brown to think about a career in music. After this experience, Brown transferred to Maryland State, receiving a music scholarship and focusing exclusively on music.
On June 6, 1950, Brown is injured in a serious car crash, leaving him with numerous broken bones in his legs and in a full-body cast for several months. While in the hospital, Brown received a visit from Gillespie, who lent him support and again encouraged him to pursue music.
Because of the severity of the accident, Brown was unable to practice trumpet at first and, instead, focused on learning the piano. Eventually, Brown began his trumpet playing anew, deciding to dedicate his efforts towards becoming a professional musician.
In May of 1952, Brown has the opportunity to sit in with Charlie Parker for a week. "Bird helped my morale a great deal," Brown remembered. "One night he took me in a corner and said, "I don't believe it. I hear what you're saying, but I don't believe it." Impressed by Brown's playing, Parker later told drummer Art Blakey that he wouldn't need a trumpet player before heading to Philadelphia, saying, "You won't need one after you hear Clifford Brown."
In Philadelphia, Brown joined Chris Powell and the Blue Flames, a regional rhythm-and-blues group, in the early part of 1952. He made his first recordings with this group on March 21, 1952 for Okeh Records. They recorded four songs, including Ida Red, Blue Boy, Darn That Dream, and I Come from Jamaica.
Brown crossed paths with many jazz-oriented bebop groups while touring with Powell. "I first met Clifford Brown in the spring of '53 in Philly," said trumpeter Art Farmer. "He was working with Chris Powell, and I was with Lionel Hampton. When Miles was on the coast in '51 or '52, he had told me that I would like Brownie because he was so warm, so I expected him to be good. Well, he exceeded my expectations."
Brown recorded his first jazz record on June 9, 1953 as a sideman with Lou Donaldson for Blue Note. Among the songs recorded, Brown contributed his own composition "Brownie Speaks."
"The continuity of his solo line is astonishing," wrote critic Leonard Feather about Brown's solos, "placing him at the very top rank of contemporary trumpet stylists."
Brown soon made several other recordings as a sideman, first with Tadd Dameron's nine piece group and later with J.J. Johnson, on tunes such as "Turnpike."
"When Brownie stood up and took his first solos," recalled critic Ira Gitler, "I nearly fell off my seat in the control room. The power, range, and brilliance together with the warmth and invention was something I hadn't heard since Fats Navarro."
Brown became a part of the Lionel Hampton Big Band in July 1953, joining Art Farmer and Quincy Jones in the trumpet section. "I must admit I was more that a bit jealous of his ability to play so well," Farmer confessed. "However, he was such a sweet and warm human being, I was forced to like him even though he made things very difficult for me as a trumpet player."
Nearly everyone who knew Brown agree on his likeability and welcoming personality. "To me, the name of Clifford Brown will always remain synonymous with the very essence of musical and moral maturity," Quincy Jones said. "This name will stand as a symbol of the ideals every your jazz musician should strive to attain."
Brown recorded his first album as a leader, "The Clifford Brown Sextet," for Blue Note on August 28, 1953. The group included fellow Hampton band members Gigi Gryce, Percy Heath, and John Lewis as well as tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse and drummer Art Blakey on tracks such as "Easy Living."
Following a European tour with Hampton, Brown left the band in the early part of 1954 and briefly played with Art Blakey. After receiving a call from drummer Max Roach in March about starting a group together, Brown moved to Los Angeles, California in March of 1954.
Bridging styles of old (Roach) and new (Brown), the Clifford Brown/Max Roach Quintet is considered the quintessential Hard Bop group, mixing bebop improvisational sensibilities with the forward thinking of a younger generation that grew up playing in rhythm and blues bands. After a month to get themselves together, the quintet first performed in April 1954. The group's personnel include saxophonist Harold Land, bassist George Morrow, and pianist Richie Powell, the younger brother of Bud Powell.
The Brown/Roach Quintet went into the studio six separate times for EmArcy Records between August 2 and 14, 1954, making many memorable recordings. These include Delilah, Parisian Thoroughfare, Jordu, Joy Spring, and Daahoud.
At the end of 1954, the Brown/Roach Quintet toured extensively, traveling through the cities of New York, Boston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and several other locations. Enjoying more publicity and greater success, Brown also made recordings with Sarah Vaughan and under his own name with strings, on tracks such as "Lullaby of Birdland ,""Yesterdays," and "Willow Weep For Me."
On February 23, 1955, the quintet went into the studio and recorded A Study in Brown, which included their well-known version of "Cherokee" and Brown's original "Sandu." "There was camaraderie among the five of us," said Harold Land, "like a family out there together on the road. Different people said that they could really feel that when we played together, that everything was so tight. This doesn't usually happen with every group. I think it was because of that closeness and mutual respect that we had a close-knit family."
In the early 1950s, at a time when jazz players were struggling to find regular gigs, the Brown/Roach Quintet quickly became a powerhouse in the jazz world. This was undoubtedly a direct result of the attitude and business approach of the two co-leaders. "The club owners want to lure stars," Brown explained, "but try and save money by putting in a local rhythm section. Max and I have had offers while in New York to headline as singles in a couple of places. But unless they hire the unit as it is, we won't do it. That's the only way we're going to keep together. We've got to work together all the time."
On September 30, 1955, the group appeared at the Bee Hive in Chicago, drawing such a crowd that they appeared for six weeks instead of the scheduled two. "I feel as if I just had acid thrown in my face," Brown told a friend one night during a set break. "My lips are on fire. Sometimes I wonder if I can keep up with Max when he really gets that cymbal going." During this historical performance, saxophonist Sonny Rollins replaced the departed Harold Land. Rollins was recovering from his own battle with drugs and Brown's unblemished life style was an inspiration. "Clifford was a profound influence on my personal life," Rollins admitted. "He showed me that it was possible to live a good, clean life and still be a good jazz musician."
On June 26, 1956, Brown, Richie Powell and Powell's wife Nancy were driving from Philadelphia to Chicago for the band's next appearance. While on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Nancy lost control of the car on a wet stretch of road a few miles west of Bedford. The car hit a bridge abutment, jumped the barrier and rolled down a seventy-five-foot embankment. All three passengers were killed instantly.
Gentle in person, powerful with his horn, Brown's legacy goes far beyond his playing on the bandstand. His refusal to use drugs and to support a clean way of living offered a different image of the jazz musician at a time when heavy drinking and heroin use was a common part of being a jazz musician. Most impressive, was what a rich contribution Brown had during his relatively short time in the spotlight. As Sonny Rollins said, "He was just like a shooting star: he's there and he's gone."

Shooting death mars St Philip Carnival
One man is dead following an altercation at Ruby Main Road during the St Philip Carnival.
The incident occurred around 5p.m.
Police say the shooting victim Dwayne Burgess, who is in his 30s, died at the QEH after he was transported there by ambulance.
In the meantime, police are investigating another shooting incident in the same parish this evening. The victim, whose name has not yet been released, was transported to hospital.
9 Responses to Shooting death mars St Philip Carnival
Just can't have a nice time due to GUNS in the hands of FOOLS.
This is the second shooting death associated with this carnival in a either 2 or 3 year period smh, I hope this will be noted.
Dwayne Burgess was an honest hard working young man who grew up rough and knew what hard ship was. His mother died young, his family grew up in rough conditions, but still, they produced and very reliable and willing man. If after all that he gets gunned down trying to make peace; the whole society, parents, teachers, all of us have to ask ourselves how are we raising our own children? What type of hyenas and jackels are we training at home to unleash into our country to cause havoc and kill innocent people!!!!
Why can't people just go out and enjoy themselves without carrying some weapon. All the guns are in the hands of stupid and illiterate people who think they are big men because they are "packing". I am so sad for my country.
We would like to ask ? Are these persons who carry these guns public making these guns? I lived in St. George during the sixties and seventies also spent some time in the early nineties. I remember the station sergeant at Boarded Hall calling my father to remind him his gun license annual date was due and fees had to be paid; now criminals have guns don't pay license fees but use it any time in public may it be noon day or midnight moon light. Pray to God you get home safe! With all those police, coast guard and Defense force personnel on the island one would think there would be more intelligence on illegal fire-arms.
Just for the record, Dwayne was the peacemaker in an altercation between two men.
Didn't see the post by "Me". I knew Dwayne as a boy. I never saw him with anything but a smile on his face. Glad to hear he turned out to be a fine young man despite the hardship of his mother's early death. HE DIED A HERO! RIP, son.
What is the police doing to get these guns off the streets?People should be able to go out and enjoy themselve and feel safe in doing so.I used to be so proud of my country of birth now I am begining to despair.
In the seriousness of this issue why was victim transported to QEH…I would have assumed that the newly opened St John hospital was closer in vicinity. Or is the hospital still not ready to function on that scale to accept patients ?

As it turns out. With vacuum_page_delay = 0, VACUUM took 1m20s (80s) to complete, with vacuum_page_delay = 1 and vacuum_page_delay = 10, both VACUUMs completed in 18m3s (1080 sec).
