I'd advise to read the Hatcher & Loughran as fast as you can to become an Ant expect in no time ;-) --DD -----Original Message----- From: Matthias P. [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 11:13 AM To: email@example.com Subject: ANT visions and best practices Hi, I am new to ANT but need to work with it as the responsible configuration manager (Please dont ask why someone who has never worked with ANT was appointed as configuration manager. I hope my manager knows what is best for his project ;-)) Until now i started to do the tutorials, compile some sources etc. What i would like to know is what wonders and miracles can be done with ANT? On what ANT-implementations on your project are you really proud of? Its just to get an idea and vision what can be done with ANT. Thank you for your attention. I hope in some month i can give you back some of my new gained knowledge. Regards, Matthias (from the lovely and sunny Munich)

SDLP Leader and Foyle Assembly candidate Colum Eastwood has labelled gay marriage as "the civil rights fight of toda" and has pledged that his party will commit to introducing new legislation on equal marriage if it is in the next Executive.
Mr Eastwood has said there is overwhelming support in Derry and throughout the North for the change, and has slammed the DUP for "ducking this important issue". The SDLP leader vowed any future legislation "would enshrine robust protections for churches and faith communities".
Mr. Eastwood said: "In June 2016, a Love Equality/ Ipsos-Mori poll found that 70% of people polled believe gay couples should be able to marry each other. However, the DUP blocked the most recent attempt to introduce equal marriage – despite it winning a majority vote in Stormont.
"Let us be clear that the fight for equal marriage is the civil rights fight of today. For too long gay men and women have been treated like second-class citizens, locked out of the precious institution of marriage. What's more, the level of intolerance and bigotry indulged in by leading figures in Government puts Northern Ireland to shame.
"I'm serving notice to the DUP that there is no place for their intolerance in today's world. They claim to be protecting freedom of religion – but the Assembly has always pledged to enshrine robust protections for churches and faith communities in any future legislation on equal marriage and they will continue to have the same freedoms as before.
"The SDLP is a party founded on the principle of equality for all and tackling injustice and prejudice. That's why we are committed to introducing new legislation to finally deliver marriage equality.
"We simply won't tolerate anymore the DUP playing politics with people's lives and hopes. If the SDLP forms part of the next Government, we will urgently deliver marriage equality legislation to ensure that all citizens have the same rights before the law.
"This step is long overdue – and our party will prevent the issue being ducked yet again. A vote for the SDLP on 2nd March is a vote to finally make change happen."

When is a 3G network not a 3G network? When it's used for voice calls, according to the Commerce Commisison.
The Commission has released its recommendation on mobile termination rates, almost halving the price from 27 cents per minute to 15 cents. Currently, the telcos charge each other to terminate calls to a mobile phone — putting New Zealand at the expensive end of the OECD, according to the Commerce Commission.
However, Webb and his team have decided that Telecom's EV-DO network, marketed as T3G, doesn't use 3G for its voice component, and so will be applying the determination to those voice calls made to Telecom 027 phones.
"The Commission's technical analysis has demonstrated that Telecom's 027 network does not provide voice calls using 3G technology and, therefore, termination of fixed-line calls on Telecom's CDMA network will be regulated under the Commission's proposals, along with calls terminating on Vodafone's GSM network," says the Commission's statement.
Telecom spokesman John Goulter says Telecom is "looking hard" at the issue of 3G calls.
"We definitely have a 3G network by any international definition so we're treating it as a live issue," says Goulter.
Goulter says the 3G issue is a "hugely tricky" one that will need further work.
Spokesman Mark Scott says the Commission team spent "quite some time" going over the issue of whether to include calls made on Telecom's T3G network or not
However, the Commission has excluded any and all third generation 3G services from its determination in an effort to protect future investment by telcos.
Telecommunications Commissioner Douglas Webb says he wants to "strike a balance" between promoting competition and maintaining incentives for investment.
"The planned investments of the mobile operators in 3G are large and it is important that they have the opportunity to make them without facing the risk of returns being restricted by regulation."
He says the Commission is not trying to define voice as being different from data in the regulatory sense.
"But you have to consider where this all came from. It's about the cost of picking up your landline phone and calling a cellphone. We've got to address that issue."
Webb's statement says he hopes call charges will fall, even though there is no incentive for the telcos involved to pass on call savings to customers.
Webb says he believes there will be "substantial benefit" to consumers, "despite the likely upward pressure on the price of mobile phone services that may result from the regulation".
The Australian regulator recently lowered mobile call termination rates as well, although the move was described as being a "windfall for Telstra" because it simply chose not to pass on the savings to customers.
The Telecommunications Users Association, which originally asked the Commission to look into termination rates in New Zealand, says it is "well satisfied" with the result, according to chief executive Ernie Newman, but will keep an eye on whether the telcos pass those savings on.
"A key issue now will be to ensure that the savings are passed on to end users and not retained by the fixed-line phone companies, so that the exceptionally high prices New Zealanders have been paying for fixed to mobile calls are brought down to an internationally-acceptable level."
Newman says TUANZ would have liked to see all 3G calls included in the determination.
CallPlus co-founder Malcolm Dick says the decision not to include 3G simply gives the incumbent players a monopoly on the future.
"When are they going to stop buying into this argument that the telcos will stop investing? It's just not going to happen," Malcolm says. "This decision just means we'll wait for it to be implemented until some time next year and by then all the calls will be 3G and it will be irrelevent."
Dick points out that without a different number range for 3G calls his company has no way of knowing whether the calls should be charged at the new lower rate or at the existing higher rate.
"Once number portability is introduced even a new number range won't help because the calls could be to any phone, 2G or 3G."

In order to expand we must all consider making some sacrifice in order to give generously and encourage others to do likewise. Not every person or family can pledge the same amount because resources and obligations vary, but we can all make some sacrifice. Every pledge amount is welcome and will make a huge difference.

Simply decide on the type of transaction you prefer and download the form to fill out. You can bring the form by the office or place in an envelope and drop it in the collection basket during Mass.

Watch Damon Campbell grill Curren$y on his past and much more.
The one and only Damon Campbell recently caught up with Curren$y, ahead of the rapper's Canal St. Confidential album. Damon digs up the dirt on Spitta, first bringing up when a Young Curren$y had to wear an eye patch (visualize that for a second). Curren$y also reveals how Styles P taught him a thing or two about counting bars, prior to which, Spitta was really just winging it.
As the conversation continues, Curren$y speaks his mind when it comes to our current rap game, and how it's a whole lot of copy cats out there. "I think originality is the most important, but it's a pay cut," he says. He goes on to give an insightful analyzation of underground music versus mainstream music lovers, "I'm an underground music listener myself, I don't listen to mainstream music. It's not that it's not good, a lot of it sounds the same..If you getting online and you researching some artists and you find it, it's sacred to you cause you had to find it, you kinda wanna protect that artist's sound, and you don't wanna them to get into that mix and make it all watery. I'm gunna prove this rip, that you could do it, this is just the underground coming above to take a piss in the mainstream."
We go on to receive a few more anecdotes about a Spitta as a child falling into a sewer and throwing out his brother's weed (those are two unrelated stories), and much, much more (so many more that Curren$y has to ask Campbell if he's wearing a wire).

The Romanesque Church of San Pietro ad Oratorium
By Santatatiana
Tags: Romanesque Church, San Pietro ad Oratorium
Category: Abruzzo
We shall begin our little journey around Italy's "Little Tibet"with a magnificent Romanesque church near the town of Capistrano (Aquilla province). Our guide Francesca has explained me the difference between the words "Roman" and "Romanesque". The Roman style of architecture dates back to the Roman Empire, whereas the Romanesque style, which borrowed some elements from its predecessor, relates to the Middle Ages (XI-XII centuries).
The Wikipedia says, "Combining features of Western Roman and Byzantine buildings, Romanesque architecture is known by its massive quality, its thick walls, round arches, sturdy piers, groin vaults, large towers and decorative arcading. Each building has clearly defined forms and they are frequently of very regular, symmetrical plan so that the overall appearance is one of simplicity when compared with the Gothic buildings that were to follow… Many castles were built during this period, but they are greatly outnumbered by churches. The most significant are the great abbey churches, many of which are still standing, more or less complete and frequently in use".
The church of San Pietro ad Oratorium completely meets all the criteria of a Romanesque church. It is massive, fortress-like and severe. All these qualities can be observed from the first glance. The church is displaced to the road with its rear elevation and looks rather gloomy. All you can see are three large apses with narrow loophole windows.
The church was founded in 752 by Desiderius, the last king of the Lombards. It is supposed that it was built on the ruins of a pagan temple which had existed on the site before the 8th century A.D.
The facade is extremely simple with only one entrance in the center and a rectangular little window. Many stones inserted in the church walls were reused from previous Roman constructions and fragments of the preceding building; among them are remarkable blocks with ribbon-like, weaving decorations going back to the 9th century.
The interior of the building is very sober with stone floors and a wooden trusses coverage. The church has three aisles with three apses. The aisles are divided into seven arcades on every side supported by four-sided pillars. The church disposes the most ancient cycle of frescoes in Abruzzo dating back to the first half of the 12th century.

Canadian dollar daily update for 1st November 2017
Following very poor August GDP numbers which widely missed expectations, the Canadian dollar weakened further. Earlier, we warned that the Canadian dollar was looking oversold (especially relative to the US dollar). After yesterday's GDP numbers, the Canadian dollar is now looking even more oversold. In the short-term time frame, we expect the currency to enjoy at least a small rebound in the near future. In the longer term, the picture for the currency remains bleak. As growth decelerates, NAFTA uncertainties continue and the Bank of Canada shifts to neutral, there are few obvious catalysts for the currency. Despite rising crude oil prices, higher commodity prices have yet to strengthen the Canadian dollar.
The USD/CAD exchange rate is currently above 1.2890. The euro is flat against the Canadian dollar today, but was up sharply yesterday. EUR/CAD is currently above 1.50. Lastly, the pound is up against the Canadian dollar, with GBP/CAD trading above 1.7150.
This week has a few important events on the calendar. Monthly GDP figures for August widely missed expectations (-0.1% vs. 0.1% expected). Later today, we'll get Markit manufacturing PMIs. Finally, on Friday we'll get the trade balance and unemployment numbers. Last week, the BoC maintained interest rates and expressed its "caution" regarding future rate hikes.

HOUSE prices in Wigan are still rising despite other nearby areas experiencing a dip.
Prices have risen by 2.6 per cent in the last year compared to the same period before meaning that the average house goes for £93,916 in the borough according to the Land Registry's House Price Index.
Comparatively, prices in Wigan are rising faster than many of its neighbouring boroughs such as St Helens where prices have risen by 0.9 per cent in the last year and Bolton where they have fallen by 1.6 per cent.
But Wigan estate agent Alan Batt advised caution in relying too much on the figures as it didn't account for variation between different areas in the borough.
Alan, who owns Alan Batt Estate Agents Ltd, said: "Prices in the borough have been rising for a while but I don't know why they are doing better than Bolton or St Helens.
"The market is recovering but it is not yet back to the prices it was in 2007. I don't think this market is unusual though, it is the 2007 market that was unusual because it was a boom.
"What this means for people varies. If you bought your house in 2006/2007 you will probably still have negative equity so it may not be a good idea to sell.
"But if you are a first-time buyer wanting to get in the property ladder and you have got the deposit it is a great time to buy while the prices are on the rise.
"One of the problems we have seen is that there is plenty of affordable housing but first-time buyers struggle to access it because they need help with the deposit and that is why the renting market is do buoyant."
Nationally, house prices in Wigan are rising much slower than the average of 5.4 per cent for England and Wales but this is largely due to the huge increases in prices in London and the South East.
But according to the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) now is the ideal time to sell your home in the North West to be in with a chance of gaining a strong offer or even an increased price.
Findings from the RICS' recent residential market survey revealed that house price growth increased again in June, with 53 per cent more of the North West's surveyors reporting an increase in asking prices due to a lack of stock houses.

Location: Set on a sandy canopy amongst a shady palm oasis in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, the Al Maha resort is the epitome of Bedouin luxury.
Service: Guests will be welcomed with warm Arabian hospitality upon arrival to Al Maha and will receive a personalized and attentive service throughout their stay, right up until the moment they leave.
History: According to legend, Al Maha was a wondrous oasis lost in the desert. A curious wanderer stumbled upon a protruding twig after following his falcon and returned the next day to unearth the spring hidden here and brought life back to the barren desert.
With a fiery-red backdrop of rippled sand dunes that clash against the opal-blue sky, Al Maha resort is an exotic oasis set within the 16-square-mile Conservation Wildlife Reserve of Dubai. Named after the majestic horned Arabian Oryx, the destination rids itself of usual desolate-and-stark desert connotations and is inhabited by unique ecosystems, where both endangered and indigenous animals roam freely and undisturbed. A rich diversity of elusive animal species can be spotted from the resort, giving the feeling of living on safari and escaping to the animal kingdom. Guests can watch the living desert from their magnificent Bedouin suites, where luxury comfort and spectacular Arabian decor provide an indulgent atmosphere. They are a combination of two worlds - one of transcendent, elegant living, reflecting the cosmopolitan vibe of Dubai and one of simpler, Bedouin values from which Arabian traditions stem from. An airy and polished theme runs throughout the resort and to a host of exceptional restaurants. Organic dishes are meticulously prepared by culinary masters and served on outdoor terraces or on top of a pristine sand dune. Balmy days can be enjoyed poolside while drinking in the mesmerising scenery or exploring the mysterious desert where lost tales and secrets remain buried within the layers of time .

One of the nicest and long lasting sidewalk signs is the signicade, to the right. It can be weighted down with filling the frame with sand or water. Separate panels are made from coroplast or sintra board and screwed into the sign. If you need to change the panels over the years, just remove the screws and replace.
The signicade for Jims Diner has yellow coroplast panels and burgandy vinyl lettering.

Stopped by Entertainment Outlet to get a few more DVDs for gifts; was glad that i had told Richard Kostelanetz about "Music in My Heart", the 1939 Columbia Pictures musical starring Rita Hayworth and Tony Martin, with a special appearance by Andre kostelanetz. There were still a bunch of copies for $4.99. Anyway, ran into Margo Jefferson while walking after the screening of the doc "Matthew Barney: No Restraint" at the IFC Center.
Larry and i went to Modell's to get the lined-jeans on sale when i got back home. Watched the TCM "Private Screenings: Stanley Donen". Larry and i tried to watch "3 Needles" on one of the Showtime stations, but it was so earnest and draggy. Stockard Channing was very good, though. Decided might as well just get it over with, so filled out my ballot for the indieWire film critics poll (this used to be the Village Voice poll). For the record, my top ten this year (as of December 6, 2006): 1) "Army of Shadows"; 2) "The Decay of Fiction"; 3) "The Case of the Grinning Cat"; 4) "Inland Empire"; 5) "Iraq in Fragments"; 6) "Heading South"; 7) "Fratricide"; 8) "4"; 9) "Lunacy"; 10) "The Death of Mr. Lazarescu". Best Director: Lajos Koltai, "Fateless". Best Screenplay: Daniel Burman, "Family Law". Best First Feature: "Hamilton" (directed by Matthew Porterfield). Best Documentary: "The Times We've Seen" (by Marcel Ophuls). Best Cinematography: Daniel Tumblety, "Sweetland".
Oh, well... i wonder where some of my selections will wind up.

Therefore Pastika instructed all staffs to do exercise and consume nutritious foods.
Further, Pastika also instructed all staffs to increase their discipline both in working and time.

I think we can safely call bullshit on this one
This video has been making the rounds this week. It purportedly shows a man resembling Michael Jackson getting out of the back of an L.A. Coroner's van. The poster insists this is definitive proof Michael faked his death. Now no one wishes he were alive more than I, but this right here is bullshit. You can't even see the guy's face! The way he hopped out of that van I would peg him at more like 20-something than 50. We all know Michael had problems with his back and joints. Nice try.

MIKE COULD DANCE BECAUSE HE LOVED THAT BUT HE HAD AN OLD BACK INJURY AND IT WAS REPORTED HE HAD ARTHRITISReplyDelete
that's just Dr. Murray disguised in some shit he stole from Mike's crib on his way to Starbucks....creeped the barista out when he went to pay him and had a glittery white glove on!ReplyDelete

This is a ridiculously hard question for me. I love 'American Girl'. 'Zombie Zoo' was a late, but great, find (thanks B.). 'Square One' (from Highway Companion) is amazing. I could go on.
Now you.
* If you don't have a favorite Tom Petty song, I don't think I can be your friend.
5 comments:
WOW that IS a tuffie (sp fer all of you grammar nerds) Yer so Bad (Full Moon Fever) has always been a fave of mine its the quintessential example of a singer/songwriter type song. Also Zombie Zoo and Apartment Song from the same album... Wildflowers and Time to Move on are way good too... So is You and I Will Meet Again and Dark of the Sun and don't forget I need to Know, American Girl and The Waiting. I too could prolly go on.

I can't help myself; I jam to "Mary Jane's Last Dance" over and over again. It might be the questionable subject matter that is such a turn on.

I would also have to say "Square One" is one of my favorites. "Learning to Fly" reminds me of summer for some reason, so I'll have to go with that one too. I can't wait to see him in a few weeks!

Really, there are not too many of his songs I don't like!!

Atropine use may prevent myopic progression in children
The use of atropine appears to prevent myopic progression, as supported by level I evidence, according to a recent study. Additionally, myopic rebound has been reported after treatment discontinuation, but this is minimized by using low doses, particularly atropine 0.01%.
Researchers conducted literature searches in PubMed and the Cochrane Library databases to examine the efficacy of topical atropine for the prevention of myopic progression in children. A total of 98 citations were identified, of which 23 were reviewed in full text. Seventeen of these articles were then included in the assessment and subsequently assigned a level of evidence (I, II or III) rating by the panel methodologist.
Most studies reported less myopic progression in children administered with atropine vs controls. Eight of the level I and II studies that evaluated primarily myopic progression also reported less myopic progression with atropine (myopic progression ranging from 0.04 to 0.47 dioptres [D]/year) vs controls (0.38 to 1.19 D/year).
Studies evaluating myopic progression after treatment cessation reported a rebound effect. There were also some studies that assessed the optimal dosage of atropine for the prevention of myopic progression, rebound after discontinuation of treatment and minimization of side effects.
Atropine at lower dosages (0.5%, 0.1% and 0.01%) was slightly less effective during treatment periods of 1 to 2 years, but it was likely to result in less rebound myopic progression (mean myopic progression after treatment cessation, 0.28 vs 0.87 D/year for atropine 0.01% and 0.5%, respectively), fewer side effects and similar long-term results for myopic progression after the study period and rebound effect were considered.
"The most robust and well-designed studies were carried out in Asian populations," researchers said. "Studies involving patients of other ethnic backgrounds failed to provide sufficient evidence of an effect of atropine on myopic progression."

In my last post I alluded to a series of unfortunate events that resulted in me sagging twice in the van; first on a long descent and later for nearly an entire day. Here is the tale.
On our 3rd day of riding, we started out by climbing the Col d' Izoard, and on the descent I heard a 'pop' and a 'hiss' and my rear tire went completely flat. Quickly. Since I was going about 35 mph and the road was pointing downhill at about 10%, this was a revolting development. But I was able to slow and stop safely. Thank the prayer candles.
Now to understand what happens next, you need to know that I was using 'road tubeless' wheels and tires. This system works just like a car tire. There is no inner tube. The beads of the tire snap into the rim as the tire inflates, producing a virtually air tight seal. Then a small amount of liquid sealant is added inside the tire, which completely seals the rim and offers protection against small punctures. The system works really well. In 5 years and about 10,000 miles of riding road tubeless, I have never had to fix a flat during a ride. In fact, one time I did get a small puncture and sealant came shooting out of the hole, but after a couple of rotations it stopped and I had plenty of pressure to complete the ride.
I examined the tire and expected to see a major puncture, but the tread was perfect and there was no hint of a hole. The bead also appeared intact. I couldn't figure out what had happened.
So for the first time on the road, I executed the tubeless fix: I put a tube inside, pumped up the tire and heard the satisfying 'pop' as the pressure seated the bead into the rim, reinstalled the wheel and went on my merry way. Actually not so merry; the next climb was the Col de Vars, just as hard as the more famous Izoard. But I made it up and down and then up the 'Col de Hotel' to our accommodations in Barcelonnette. This latter Col deserves some mention; it was advertised by our guides as being about 4% and about a mile long. It turned out to be 2 miles and averaging 8%, and for most of it my Garmin showed 9%-11%. At the end of a long day (64 miles, 8,400 feet) there were a few good natured grumbles at the lack of accurate information about how we getting to our showers. But we finally arrived without falling over.
The next day we climbed the Cime de la Bonnette, 9,200 feet at the top and the highest through road in France. The climb is 15 miles long and ascends over 5,000 feet. And on the descent my rear tire blew out AGAIN! This time I was going a little slower because the road was twisty, but it was still nerve wracking. And this time I simply couldn't remove the tire, probably because there was a tube inside taking up space I needed to work the bead off of the rim. The van had already passed me, but our guide Gerry was on his bike trailing the group. He stopped we ascertained that we weren't going to be able to fix the problem on the road. There was no cell phone coverage to contact the van, so Gerry rode down to the next regroup point and then sent the van back to pick me up.
It turned out that my friend Russ also had some tire issues on the descent, so he ended up in the van with me and neither of us got to do the Col de Hotel on the return trip, We took some ribbing from the others about that.
After lunch, I actually had to use a knife to cut the tire off of the rim. I assumed that there had to be a small cut I couldn't see, and the tube eventually worked its way into the cut and then popped. I have had this problem before with a standard tire/tube set up, and only discovered the cut under good light wearing my good glasses. I purchased a spare tire from my guides, put in a tube, pumped it up and put the bike into the storage room.
That night, before we went to dinner, the tire was FLAT! This was becoming a fiasco. I assumed that I had pulled the bonehead move of pinching the tube between the tire and the rim. After dinner we fixed it again. The next morning the tire seemed fine, and of course as I descended the Col de Hotel, I had ANOTHER BLOW OUT. That makes 3, all downhill.
Tires and tubes do not fail this way unless something is wrong, and I finally determined the culprit; the rim tape had failed. Tubeless wheels use special tape that creates an airtight seal between the tire and the spoke holes. Failed tape would explain the initial tubeless blowout as well as the subsequent flats, as the tube worked its way under pressure into the spoke holes and eventually went pop.
Even though we identified the cause, the solution was not so simple. We didn't have any spare rim tape. We tried black electrical tape, which worked for the rest of that day, so I got to do the lovely Col de la Cayolle and the less lovely Col du Valberg. My Garmin displayed a temperature of 102 degrees on this one, and I literally crawled up well behind the others. I even stopped twice, and not because of cramps. I almost never do that, but I was really suffering.
The next day heading down from Valberg, I hit a small invisible stone, and when we stopped and I looked at my tire I saw the tube bulging out of a small hole. So I almost had another blowout. This was terrible luck. I finally had a tire/tube/tape combination that seemed to be working and now I have to disturb the equilibrium because of a cut in the sidewall. I changed the tire with another spare from the van, but it the process I must have shifted the tape, because after descending another 2 miles I got yet another flat. John and I tried to fix it, but we were in a hurry and we pinched the tube. That was it, I gave up and got into the van.
France is cycling crazy and one might think there would be a bike shop with rim tape in Valberg, but there wasn't. I was completely out of ideas. We had one more day of the tour and I didn't want to spend it in the van. Our guide John offered to load me his rear wheel. I told him I didn't think it would work. It was a 10 speed hub and cassette, and my levers and cassette 'go to 11′, just like the guitar amp in Spinal Tap. But we put his wheel on my bike, and it did shift. Sort of. Sometimes I had to click twice to change the gear, or shift up, then down to get rid of some rattling, or sometimes I would hit the lever and nothing would happen until I hit it again. However, I actually could get into all the gears, so even though it might be a little noisy I could ride the last day.
Ride we did, 82 miles and 5,000 feet of climbing and finishing with a long descent into Nice, through dense and chaotic traffic and roundabouts and along the Promenade beside the blue Mediterranean Sea to our final night's hotel. After a shower and a very nice dinner and some wine I started to feel relaxed enough to put my tire trouble tension aside. The trip home the next day went smoothly even though it took over 23 hours from the time I left the hotel until I arrived home to my very excited dog Luke.
I can't blame candle failure for mechanicals, and as long as my skin and bones are intact they are doing their job and keeping me safe. So next time I travel I'm going to include some rim tape in my small kit of handy tools and spare parts, to give the prayer candles some help with the minor stuff.

Mapping a Modern Mississippi < Places < North Mississippi AllStars
North Mississippi Allstars formed in 1996; the product of a special time for modern Mississippi country blues. Brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson soaked up the music of their father, Memphis legend Jim Dickinson, and absorbed the North Mississippi legacy while playing and shaking it down in the juke joints with their blues ancestors. R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Otha Turner and their musical families were at their peak, making classic records and touring the world. Eventually, Luther (guitar, vocals) and Cody (drums, vocals) formed the North Mississippi Allstars and pioneered their own brand of blues-infused rock and roll.http://www.nmallstars.com/
Longtime Memphis musician and producer Jim Dickinson always told his sons, "You need to be playing music together. You are better together than you will ever be apart." Luther and Cody Dickinson grew up hearing those words, along with the musical sounds their father helped shape.
When Jim Dickinson died in August 2009, the brothers coped the way they knew best: through music. Those sessions led to a new album from their band, The North Mississippi Allstars, called Keys to the Kingdom (Songs of the South)...
